2. Licenses

2.1 Development and Documentation License. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Palm hereby grants to Licensee a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, fully-paid license to the following solely to develop, manufacture, test and support the Licensee Products (and the Licensee Software to the extent such Licensee Software is incorporated in the Licensee Products): (a) use the Palm Development Environment and the Palm Device Applications SDK in object code form only, and (b) use and reproduce the Palm Software, in object code form only, and the Palm Materials.

2.2 Distribution License. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Palm hereby grants to Licensee a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, worldwide (subject to Section 2.8(a)), royalty-bearing license to use, reproduce, and distribute, directly and indirectly through its standard distribution channels: (a) the Palm OS Software and Palm Device Applications, in object code form, solely when embedded into Licensee Products; (b) the Palm Desktop Software and Palm Installation CD Files, in object code form, and Palm End-User Documentation solely when bundled with Licensee Products; and (c) any Upgrades, Updates and New Versions, in object code form only, on a stand-alone basis to be used

solely with Licensee Products. Licensee certifies that, except as provided in Section 2.2(c), it will distribute the Palm OS Software and Palm Device Applications only as incorporated into Licensee Products which, by an objective examination of such factors as cost, product features and pricing, represent a significant enhancement of such Palm Software (with regard to both value and function). Licensee acknowledges and agrees that at such time it elects to distribute any Upgrade. Update or New Version, whether contained in or bundled with a Licensee Product or on a stand-alone basis pursuant to the terms of this Section, Licensee shall distribute the complete New Version, Update and Upgrade in its entirety and may not distribute only a subset of same.

2.3 Compatibility and Trademark License.

(a) Compatibility Testing. Prior to the release of each of the Licensee Products and for each Update, Upgrade and New Version that Licensee may embed into such products, Licensee shall submit the Licensee Products [*] to any of Palm’s approved independent compatibility testing labs (“Approved Testing Lab”) for compatibility testing in accordance with the test criteria attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Test Criteria”). If the Approved Testing Lab rejects the Licensee Products because of a nonconformance with the Test Criteria, then such testing lab will provide Licensee and Palm a detailed written statement of the reasons for such rejection (“Statement of Errors”). Upon receipt of the Statement of Errors, Licensee shall use reasonable efforts to modify the Licensee Products to conform to the Test Criteria. The parties acknowledge that the contents of the Test Criteria may need to be changed from time to time if major new functionality is added to the Palm Software. Palm shall use its reasonable discretion in determining new Test Criteria for such Palm Software with such new functionality and will apply such new Test Criteria to its internal customers and to Licensee and its other licensees of the Palm Software.

(b) Compatibility Certification Requirement. Licensee agrees that it shall not release or distribute any Licensee Products incorporating any part of the Palm Software which have not received compatibility certification pursuant to subsection (a) above from an Approved Testing Lab in accordance with the Test Criteria (“Compatibility Certification”). Each version of a Licensee Product shall be required to pass the Test Criteria only once, regardless of Palm’s subsequent modifications to the Palm Software. However, in order to obtain Compatibility Certification for Palm Software with new functionality and new Test Criteria as described in Section 2.3(a), Licensee may submit Licensee Products for compatibility testing against such new Test Criteria in accordance with Section 2.3(a). Licensee may indicate Compatibility Certification for Licensee Products only with respect to the version(s) of the Test Criteria which the Licensee Products have passed. If Licensee creates a foreign language version (“Localized Version”) for the United Kingdom (English language only), France, Italy, Germany or Spain of a Licensee Product that has received Compatibility Certification, then Licensee may, at its option [*], conduct the compatibility testing of such Localized Version itself (i.e. without using an Approved Testing Lab), provided that all of the following conditions are met:

(i) The Localized Version does not contain any incremental operating system software or functionality which was not contained in the primary Licensee Product which received Compatibility Certification from an Approved Testing Lab.

(ii) None of the Approved Testing Labs could commit to completing the Compatibility Certification for the Localized Version within thirty (30) days from receipt of such Localized Version. If an Approved Testing Lab commits to such deadline, but the compatibility testing exceeds such

*	Confidential treatment has been requested for the bracketed portion. The confidential redacted portion has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

time period, because the Approved Testing Lab issued a Statement of Errors, then the Approved Testing Lab shall be afforded an additional period of time to complete such testing as may be reasonably required to fix such errors and retest, taking into consideration both the nature of such errors and Licensee’s timeliness and responsiveness in correcting such errors.

(iii) Licensee shall conduct the compatibility testing of the Localized Version strictly in accordance with the Test Criteria and using the compatibility test suite provided by Palm for the primary version of the Licensee Product which received Compatibility Certification from an Approved Testing Lab.

(iv) At least five (5) days prior to the date Licensee first releases such Localized Version, Licensee delivers to Palm a copy of the compatibility test results, together with a written statement by an officer of Licensee certifying that the Localized Version satisfied the Test Criteria and qualifies for Compatibility Certification pursuant to the terms hereof.

(v) Palm may at any time audit the compatibility test results and/or Licensee’s compatibility testing procedure to verify Licensee’s compliance with the terms of this Section 2.3.

Licensee acknowledges and agrees that it shall be a material breach of this Agreement for purposes of Section 15.3 (Right to Terminate) if Licensee releases a Licensee Product which has not first strictly satisfied the requirements of Compatibility Certification hereunder.

(c) Trademark License. Subject to subsections (a) and (b) above and the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, Palm hereby grants to Licensee a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, fully-paid license to use, subject to the guidelines set forth in Palm’s Trademark Policy Guidelines attached hereto as Exhibit C, the Palm compatibility trademarks listed in Exhibit H (Palm Compatibility Trademarks) (the “Palm Compatibility Trademarks”) in connection with the marketing and sale of Licensee Products which incorporate the Palm Software and that have received Compatibility Certification, provided that Licensee will first obtain Palm’s prior written approval for the publication of any statements referring to Palm’s trademarks or products, including but not limited to any statements displayed on Licensee’s website. Palm shall have the right to change the Palm Compatibility Trademarks upon written notice to Licensee. Licensee shall use the Palm Compatibility Trademarks in conjunction with the distribution, promotion, and marketing of any and all Licensee Products that have received Compatibility Certification, consistent with the guidelines set forth in Exhibit C. The foregoing license shall be limited to use of the Palm Compatibility Trademarks for the purposes of Section 8.3 (Branding). Further, the foregoing license to the mark “Palm OS” shall be strictly limited to the applicable version number of the Palm OS Software designated by Palm and Licensee shall have no license to use a New Version name/number in connection with the distribution, promotion or marketing of any Licensee Product or related material (including, without limitation, on the Licensee Product or in any advertising, promotional or packaging materials) until such time as the Licensee Product has received Compatibility Certification for such New Version. The rights granted to Licensee in this license will terminate upon any termination or expiration of this Agreement. Upon such termination or expiration, Licensee will no longer make any use of any Palm Compatibility Trademarks.

(d) Trademark Ownership. Licensee acknowledges that Palm owns exclusive rights in the Palm Trademarks. Licensee will not use PALM as part of any of its product, service, domain or company names and will not take nor authorize any action inconsistent with Palm’s exclusive trademark rights during the term of this Agreement or thereafter. Nothing in this Agreement grants Licensee ownership or any rights in or to use the Palm Trademarks, except in accordance with the license set forth in Section 2.3(c). Palm will have the exclusive right to own, use, hold, apply for registration for, and register the Palm

Licensee agrees to cooperate with Palm in facilitating Palm’s quality control. Palm shall have the right to receive free samples of all advertising and promotional materials and reasonable numbers of sample production [*] of the Licensee Products and related Licensee documentation on which such trademarks are used to ensure that Palm’s quality standards are maintained. Licensee will provide Palm with drafts of all significant revisions to such materials (including press releases) using the Palm Trademarks before making such materials publicly available. Licensee shall comply with all requests from Palm to correct any quality deficiencies in such materials and its website.

2.4 No Right to Sublicense or Use Contract Manufacturers. Licensee shall have no right to, and shall not, sublicense any of its rights under this Agreement to OEMs, consultants, contractors, or any other third parties. Licensee shall have the right to use those third parties identified on Exhibit I (Approved Contractors) attached hereto (the “Approved Contractors”) to manufacture, develop, test, or support the Licensee Products. Except for the Approved Contractors, Licensee shall have no right to, and shall not, use third parties to manufacture, develop, test, or support any Licensee Products without Palm’s prior written approval. Exhibit I (Approved Contractors) shall only be updated upon the mutual written agreement of the parties, such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding Palm’s permission to use the Approved Contractors, Palm’s affirmative obligations under this Agreement will be limited to Licensee. Licensee hereby guarantees the performance of the Approved Contractors under this Agreement and any breach by any Approved Contractors of the terms of this Agreement shall be deemed a breach by Licensee.

PALM SUPPORT SERVICES

1. Definitions.

“Severity One” Support is defined as support required to address a fatal program error in the Palm Software which has a critical business impact and precludes significant useful work from being done or, significantly precludes developer and/or end-user operations.

“Severity Two” Support is defined as support required to address a program error in the Palm Software which has a significant business impact where important features are unavailable with no acceptable workaround and development operations are seriously impaired.

“Severity Three” Support is defined as support required to address a program error in the Palm Software with some business impact, such as important features unavailable but a workaround is available or less significant features are unavailable with no reasonable workaround.

2. Support Response Times. The parties shall promptly agree in good faith to share any information and/or documentation which may be required to permit Palm to identify and resolve any development support requests. The support response period begins after Palm (a) has enough information to profile the reported error and (b) can recreate the reported error or has access to a facility where the error can be recreated (“Start Date”). Palm agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to recreate the reported error and respond based on the following timetable:

“Severity One” Support. Palm shall use reasonable commercial efforts to resolve or reduce the severity via workaround and/or patch within two (2) business days of the Start Date, or if unable to resolve such problem within such timeframe, Palm shall provide its action plan within such timeframe and provide regular status updates. A final resolution shall be identified in the action plan. Palm and Licensee problem managers shall review incident after two (2) business days and every two (2) business days thereafter until the error has been resolved.

“Severity Two” Support. Palm shall use reasonable commercial efforts to resolve or reduce the severity via workaround and/or patch within five (5) business days of the Start Date, or if unable to resolve such problem within such timeframe, Palm shall provide its action plan within such timeframe and provide regular status updates. Palm and Licensee problem managers shall review incident after five (5) business days. A final engineering resolution shall be identified in the action plan.

“Severity Three” Support. Palm shall use reasonable commercial efforts to acknowledge the error within ten (10) business days of receipt of notice. Palm shall provide a final engineering resolution within three (3) months or next scheduled release, whichever is sooner.

So long as Palm is using reasonable commercial efforts to recreate reported errors and resolve or reduce Severity One and Severity Two problems in accordance with the action plan provided, Palm’s inability to resolve such problems within the timeframes stated herein or the action plan shall not be deemed a material breach of Section 6.1 or any other provision of the Agreement. The prescribed support response times above may be extended as mutually agreed, such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld, e.g., if resolution of the problem requires timely hardware certification or test, or if resolution represents significant risk to the essential functions. Any support requests that are attributable to any matters other than errors in the

unmodified Palm Software provided by Palm to Licensee hereunder are subject to billing at Palm’s standard time and materials rates.

3. Support Evaluation. The parties will attempt in good faith to promptly resolve any controversy or claim relating to performance of the technical support assistance provided by Palm under this Agreement. Each party may request the other party to involve appropriate senior executives of such other party who shall have the authority to resolve the matter.
