Note 11: Guarantees
Guarantees and Indemnifications
In the ordinary course of business, HP may provide certain clients, principally governmental
entities, with subsidiary performance guarantees and/or financial performance guarantees, which may be
backed by standby letters of credit or surety bonds. In general, HP would be liable for the amounts of
these guarantees in the event HP or HP’s subsidiaries’ nonperformance permits termination of the
related contract by the client, the likelihood of which HP believes is remote. HP believes that the
company is in compliance with the performance obligations under all material service contracts for
which there is a performance guarantee.
As a result of the acquisition of EDS, HP acquired certain service contracts supported by client
financing or securitization arrangements. Under specific circumstances involving non performance
resulting in service contract termination or failure to comply with terms under the financing
arrangement, HP would be required to acquire certain assets. HP considers the possibility of its failure
to comply to be remote and the asset amounts involved to be immaterial.
In the ordinary course of business, HP enters into contractual arrangements under which HP may
agree to indemnify the third party to such arrangement from any losses incurred relating to the services
they perform on behalf of HP or for losses arising from certain events as defined within the particular
contract, which may include, for example, litigation or claims relating to past performance. Such
indemnification obligations may not be subject to maximum loss clauses. Historically, payments made
related to these indemnifications have been immaterial.
Warranty

engages in extensive product quality programs and processes, including actively monitoring and
