Schedule 9.6 – Litigation and Contingent Liabilities

 

On April 22, 2005, Tele Atlas N.V. and Tele Atlas North America (“Tele Atlas”) filed a complaint against the Company in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. The complaint alleges that the Company has violated Sections 1 and 2 of the Sherman Act, Section 3 of the Clayton Act, and Sections 16720, 16727 and 17200 of the California Business and Professions Code, and that the Company has intentionally interfered with Tele Atlas’s contractual relations and prospective economic advantage with third parties, by allegedly excluding Tele Atlas from the market for digital map data for use in navigation system applications in the United States through exclusionary and predatory practices. On August 16, 2005, Tele Atlas filed an amended complaint based on these same causes of action.  Specifically, in its amended complaint, Tele Atlas alleges that the Company controls a predominant share of variously defined markets for digital map data and has entered into exclusive contracts with digital map data customers for the purpose of acquiring or maintaining an illegal monopoly in these alleged markets.  Tele Atlas also contends that these allegedly exclusive contracts have interfered with Tele Atlas’ current and prospective business relationships and amount to unfair competition under California state law.  In addition, Tele Atlas alleges that the Company, through its license under U.S. Patent No. 5,161,886, controls a predominant share of the alleged relevant technology market consisting of methods for displaying portions of a topographic map from an apparent perspective view outside and above a vehicle in the United States, and allegedly has entered into patent licenses and/or other arrangements in a manner that violates the aforesaid laws. Tele Atlas seeks preliminary and permanent injunctive relief, unspecified monetary, exemplary and treble damages, and costs and attorneys’ fees of suit.

 

The Company is disclosing the above litigation in this Schedule solely for informational purposes and not in any way stating or acknowledging that such transaction is required to be disclosed on this Schedule.
