(m) COMPANY shall not remove or obscure any copyright, trademark or patent notices in the Licensed Product Deliverables as delivered to COMPANY.

(n) COMPANY shall not use any name or trademark confusingly similar to or undertake any other action that will interfere with or diminish MS or MSCORP right, title or interest in, any Licensed Product trademark(s) or trade name(s), and will comply with guidelines provided by MSCORP from time to time for reference to, and use of, such Licensed Product mark(s) or name(s). Without limiting COMPANY’s other obligations in this Section 2(n), COMPANY shall have a reasonable period of time to implement any changes to such guidelines provided by MSCORP from time to time.

(o) Logo licenses may be available by separate written agreement(s) with MS or its Suppliers.

(p) COMPANY shall not advertise, provide a separate price for, or otherwise market the Licensed Products or Images as separate items from the Device.

(q) COMPANY may advertise, provide a separate price for, or otherwise market an Upgrade Image separately from the Device.

(ii) COMPANY agrees that COMPANY will not list on the Third Party Brand Names and Trademarks Schedule any third party brand names, trademarks and model names that infringe any rights of any third party, and shall defend, indemnify and hold MS or its Suppliers harmless from any third party claim arising out of COMPANY’s use of such third party brand names, trademarks or model names subject to the following:

 

  (1) MS shall promptly notify COMPANY in writing of such claim;

 

  (2) COMPANY shall have sole control over the defense and/or settlement of such claim, subject to Sections(2)(s)(ii)(3)-(5);

 

  (3) MS shall provide COMPANY with reasonable assistance in the defense of the claim;

(iii) If such third party listed on the Third Party Brand Names and Trademarks Schedule wishes to market or distribute Devices using the Licensed Product logo, COMPANY shall ensure that the third party has executed the applicable logo license with MSCORP prior to any marketing or distribution of such Device. Except for Mobile Operators, COMPANY hereby agrees to defend, indemnify and hold MS and its Suppliers harmless from and against all third party claims, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, which MS or its Suppliers may be subject to if the third party markets or distributes Devices without executing, or in breach of, the applicable logo license, subject to the following:

  (2) COMPANY shall have sole control over the defense and/or settlement of such claim subject to Section (2)(s)(iii)(3)-(5);

 

  (3) MS shall provide COMPANY with reasonable assistance in the defense of the claim;

 

  (4) MS and/or MSCORP shall have the right to participate in the defense and/or settlement at MS or MSCORP’s sole expense; and

 

  (5) COMPANY shall not consent the entry of any judgment or any settlement that materially affects the rights and interests of MS or MSCORP without the prior written consent of MS and/or MSCORP which shall not be unreasonably withheld.

(t) COMPANY shall use commercially reasonable efforts to contractually obligate (e.g., by contract, invoice or other written instrument) its Channel to deliver the APM together with each Device. COMPANY shall not permit the Channel to market or quote a price for the Licensed Product separate from the Device. COMPANY shall promptly discontinue distribution of Licensed Product to any member of the Channel which does not comply with this subsection, and shall cooperate with MS in investigating instances of distribution of Licensed Product in violation of this subsection.

(u) COMPANY shall not reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble any software in the Licensed Product Deliverables provided in object code form except as permitted by applicable law which cannot be waived by this subsection.

(A) in the event that COMPANY elects to provide the licensed end user with only a single copy of the Update for installation on more than one Device as set forth above, COMPANY shall advise the licensed end user in writing that the Update may only be installed onto the additional units of the same Device;

(viii) (1) If the Update is distributed on media (i.e. CD-ROM), the media containing the Update shall be maintained by the licensed end user on its original media solely for use as an archival copy for recovery purposes. (2) If COMPANY makes the Update available on a restricted section of COMPANY’s website as a download, COMPANY shall (A) make the Update available only on the “customer support” section of its website; and (B) clearly state the purpose of the Update and the Devices on which the Update may install;

(ix) COMPANY shall comply with the Media Packaging Guidelines set forth on the Embedded Systems Website for the labels and packaging of the Update media, if any.

(x) COMPANY shall not pay an additional royalty or other costs to MS for the Licensed Product Binaries included as a component of the Update, provided that COMPANY distributes the Licensed Product Binaries as part of the Update at no charge except for reasonable shipping and handling charges.

(xi) If MS designates Supplemental Code as mandatory, in addition to the foregoing, COMPANY shall: (1) for Devices that have not been entered into Mobile Operator certification by COMPANY, COMPANY shall include the mandatory Supplemental Code in the Images on the Devices prior to distribution of the Devices; and (2) for Devices that have been distributed by COMPANY, COMPANY shall make available an Update with the mandatory Supplemental Code to applicable Mobile Operators and/or end users as soon as possible, but in no event, no later than sixty (60) days after the mandatory Supplemental Code is made available to COMPANY. Nothing herein shall be construed to require MS to provide Supplemental Code to the Licensed Product directly to any Mobile Operator and/or end user, notwithstanding the request or direction of COMPANY.

3. REPORTS AND PAYMENTS.

(a) (i) Within fifteen (15) days after the end of each calendar month, and fifteen (15) days after the termination, cancellation or expiration date of this License Agreement for the final full or partial month, COMPANY shall provide a report in accordance with the then current Sales Out and Royalty Reporting Guidelines located on the Embedded Systems Website.

(ii) COMPANY shall take all steps necessary to ensure that COMPANY’s collection and provision of information as required by the Sales-Out and Royalty Reporting Guidelines is in compliance with all applicable national data protection laws. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall COMPANY be deemed in breach of this Agreement if COMPANY is unable to comply with certain requirements of the Sales-Out and Royalty Reporting Guidelines because such requirements conflict with any such data protection laws.

(iii) COMPANY shall provide MS a written forecast of the number of units for each version of Licensed Product COMPANY projects in good faith that COMPANY believes will be licensed or distributed over the [***] period, such period to begin upon COMPANY’s first license or distribution of the Licensed Product for revenue or equivalent consideration (the “[***]”). COMPANY has provided MS the initial [***], which [***] is incorporated into this License Agreement through the Monthly Payment Schedule. Thereafter, the [***] shall not be provided by COMPANY. Instead, the Actual Shipments figure (as defined below) reported by COMPANY in each prior [***] period shall constitute the new “[***]” figures for comparisons as described below against each successive [***] period during the term of the License Agreement.

(iv) At the end of each [***] period, MS will provide COMPANY with a reconciliation identifying the number of units for each version of Licensed Product reported by COMPANY in its royalty reports during the prior [***] period (the “Actual Shipments”) and comparing the Actual Shipments figure against the then-current [***] figure. If the number of units of Licensed Products in the Actual Shipments figure meets or exceeds the number of units in the [***] figure, there shall be no adjustment to the royalties paid under this Section 3. In the event the Actual Shipments figure is less than the number of units in the applicable [***] figure, then MS will calculate the difference between (A) the total royalties for each version of Licensed Product paid by COMPANY during such [***] period under this Section 3 and (B) the total applicable royalty rates for the Actual Shipments figure based upon the volume tiers identified for each version of Licensed Product in the Product and Royalty Schedule, and (C) MS will issue COMPANY a credit for such difference (a “Credit Amount”). COMPANY may apply a Credit Amount towards future payments due to MS under this License Agreement only for the [***] period that immediately follows the generation of each such Credit Amount; provided that if COMPANY does not apply the entire Credit Amount generated during each such [***] period MS shall refund to COMPANY any unused portion upon expiration or termination of this License Agreement.

(b)    (i) COMPANY shall pay MS: (A)(i) [***] of the [***] figure within [***] of the Effective Date, and (ii) [***] of the then-current [***] figure thereafter within [***] of the beginning of each subsequent [***] period during the term of the License Agreement; (B) the remaining [***] balance of the then-current [***] figure divided equally over each [***] period with such amounts to be paid monthly as set forth in the Monthly Payment Schedule, with the first [***] period beginning when a Licensed Product is first licensed or distributed for revenue or equivalent consideration with such amount paid monthly; and (C) the amount by which cumulative royalties exceed such monthly payment amounts. COMPANY shall make payments within [***] after the end of the calendar month in which such amounts first become due. If COMPANY fails to pay any royalty or other payment due hereunder by the applicable due date then, to the extent permitted by applicable law, MS may, at its option and without prejudice to any other right or remedy available to it, assess a recurring late charge on such past due amount at an annual rate equal to [***]. Such recurring late charge shall accrue monthly (before and after any judgment) from the due date to the date of actual payment (both dates inclusive). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 3(b)(i), such recurring late charge shall be payable on demand.

(ii) No payments or any Credit Amounts hereunder shall be applied to (A) reduce any payments due under another agreement; or (B) any payment due to the AR.

(c) COMPANY agrees to pay MS the royalty rate set forth in the Product and Royalty Schedule(s) for each unit of Licensed Product licensed, distributed or put in use by COMPANY. Royalty rates shall be based upon the then-current [***] and the Actual Shipment figures, and Company agrees the royalty rates and monthly

payment amounts shall be amended, by written amendment, in accordance with the volume tiers identified in the Product and Royalty Schedule(s) for such Licensed Product(s) and this Section 3. No royalty shall accrue to MS for Licensed Product shipped to replace units defective in media or reproduction, provided that COMPANY distributes such replacement copies directly to end users (without use of dealers or other intermediaries) at no charge, except for COMPANY’s reasonable cost of materials and shipping and handling costs. If COMPANY ships a replacement Device for a Device that is returned to COMPANY under COMPANY’s customary return polices, COMPANY shall not be required to pay a royalty for such replacement Device. If such returned Device is to be sold as a new Device, the returned Device shall be subject to Sections 2(e)-(g). If COMPANY refunds to an end user or the Channel all or substantially all of the purchase price of a Device that is returned to COMPANY under COMPANY’s customary return policies, COMPANY may claim a credit against royalty payments owed to MS under the Agreement in the amount of the royalty previously paid or payable to MS for the Licensed Product distributed on such returned Device. If COMPANY subsequently redistributes such returned Device for which a replacement unit was shipped or for which a credit was given by MS, COMPANY shall pay MS the royalty for the Licensed Product installed on such redistributed Device. Without limiting the foregoing, if COMPANY subsequently redistributes a returned Device for which no credit was given by MS, then no additional royalty shall accrue to MS for Licensed Product installed on such redistributed Device.

(d) MS may in good faith require ARs to refuse or limit orders placed by COMPANY which are in quantities greater than COMPANY will be able to (i) distribute, such that after six (6) months of COMPANY’s first commercial shipment of a Licensed Product, COMPANY has ordered more than four (4) times the number of COAs for such Licensed Product shipped by COMPANY in the month prior, unless such increase was forecasted by COMPANY to MS in advance, or (ii) make timely payment for in compliance with this License Agreement, such that COMPANY is more than ninety (90) days late in the payment of any undisputed royalties owed under this Agreement. MS shall provide immediate notice to COMPANY in such event.

(e) Royalties are separate from, and in addition to, any charges by the AR. Royalties also exclude any taxes, duties, fees, excises or tariffs imposed on any of COMPANY’s activities in connection with this License Agreement. Such charges, taxes, duties, fees, excises or tariffs, if any, shall be paid by COMPANY.

(f) If COMPANY distributes any copies of Licensed Product in violation of this License Agreement, then MS, without limiting its remedies, may demand and COMPANY agrees to pay MS for such copies [***] for the Licensed Product(s) distributed in violation. COMPANY shall pay such additional royalty within thirty (30) days of receipt of MS’ invoice. Any such additional royalty shall be in lieu of, and not in addition to, any interest charge as set forth in Section 3(b) above (i.e. COMPANY shall not be required to pay both an interest charge under Section 3(b) and an additional royalty under this Section 3(f)).

(g) If COMPANY is required by any non-U.S.A. tax authority to withhold income taxes on payments to MS, then COMPANY may deduct such taxes from the amount owed MS and shall pay them to the appropriate tax authority, provided that within sixty (60) days of payment to MS, COMPANY delivers to MS an official receipt for any such taxes withheld or other documents necessary to enable MS to claim a U.S.A. Foreign Tax Credit. If COMPANY is located in a jurisdiction that utilizes the Value Added Tax or sales tax numbers (“VAT Number”) for tax identification purpose, COMPANY’s VAT Number shall be provided in the Addresses Schedule.

(h) If COMPANY conducts business in the U.S.A. and qualifies for a state resale tax exempt certificate, then COMPANY shall provide MS with a copy of its U.S.A. state resale tax exempt certificate, if applicable, with this License Agreement when it is returned for signature by MS.

(i) Upon request by MS, COMPANY shall provide MS with COMPANY’s current publicly available audited financial statements.

(j) COMPANY shall manage all COAs and other APM in the following manner:

(i) COMPANY shall maintain accurate and complete distribution records of COAs and other APM distributed by or for COMPANY.

(ii) For COAs damaged irreparably during the ordinary course of COMPANY’s business, COMPANY shall:

(A) maintain a log in the format specified by MS of each damaged (or destroyed) COA that includes the date damaged (or destroyed), Licensed Product name, COA number, and cause of damage (or destruction);

(B) if the COA is physically attached to the APM, destroy the remainder of the APM unit not including the COA itself (i.e., manual, disks, CD); and

(C) return each damaged COA to the AR from which such COA was purchased.

(iii) On a monthly basis, COMPANY will account for and reconcile all COAs in inventory, both on an individual basis for COMPANY and each COMPANY Subsidiary and Third Party Installer, if applicable, and on a consolidated basis. The reconciliation will account for beginning and ending COA inventory, COA acquisitions from ARs, COA distribution with Devices, customer returns, and COAs affixed to Devices or other APM that cannot be distributed for any reason. COMPANY will make this reconciliation available to MS upon request. COMPANY shall pay MS the royalty applicable to the Licensed Product for the difference between (A) the number of Devices distributed by COMPANY with COAs properly affixed or included, and the number of COAs acquired from ARs, less (B) the number of COAs that can be shown to the reasonable satisfaction of MS to be in COMPANY’s possession or properly returned to the AR.

(iv) If for any reason COMPANY encounters a situation requiring the return of COAs, COMPANY shall manage such return in accordance with the then current Licensing and Operations Resource Guide located on the Embedded Systems Website.

4. LIMITED WARRANTIES.

(a)    (i) MS’ limited warranties are such that the Licensed Product functionality conforms substantially only to the Licensed Product end user documentation kit (“End User Documentation Kit”) provided to COMPANY by MS as part of the Licensed Product Deliverables. COMPANY understands and agrees that such limited warranty shall not apply to any other Licensed Product end user documentation or information delivered to or created by COMPANY.

CONFIDENTIAL

Microsoft OEM Embedded Operating Systems License Agreement for Reference Platform Devices 2.0, # 5140570011-1 dated February 25, 2005 between MS and PALMONE, INC


(ii) If the Licensed Product software fails to conform substantially to End User Documentation Kit, then within one hundred twenty (120) days (the “Limited Warranty Period”) after MS’ delivery of Licensed Product Deliverables to COMPANY, COMPANY may report such deviations from the End User Documentation Kit (“Deviations”) to MS in writing. If COMPANY reports any Deviations during the Limited Warranty Period, then MS shall have sixty (60) days to correct such Deviations (the “Correction Period”). Upon delivery of a corrected release of Licensed Product to COMPANY, COMPANY shall have thirty (30) days in which to reject the Licensed Product software for failure to conform substantially to the End User Documentation Kit.

(iii) For clarification, if COMPANY does not report Deviations within the Limited Warranty Period or if COMPANY distributes the Licensed Product for revenue, COMPANY shall be deemed to have accepted the Licensed Product. For this Section 4(a)(iii), “acceptance” by COMPANY means the sooner of: (1) 120 days after MS delivery of the Licensed Product Deliverables to COMPANY or (2) distribution by COMPANY of the Licensed Product(s).

(iv) If MS fails to correct the Deviations within the Correction Period, or if COMPANY rejects the corrected release of Licensed Product software, as COMPANY’s sole remedy COMPANY may terminate this License Agreement with respect to such release of Licensed Product and shall not be liable for the pro rata portion of the minimum commitment, if any, attributable to such rejected Licensed Product(s) provided the following are satisfied: (1) within thirty (30) days after rejecting such Licensed Products, COMPANY certifies to MS its Device mix prior to the time of such rejected Licensed Product(s); (2) COMPANY uses commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate and change COMPANY’s Device mix from such rejected Licensed Product(s) to Licensed Product(s) accepted by COMPANY (if any); and (3) the parties document any such reduction in the minimum commitment obligation and change to royalty rates in a signed amendment to this Agreement. The parties agree to document any such reduction in the minimum commitment obligation in a signed amendment to this Agreement.

(b) EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN SECTION 4(a) ABOVE, MS AND ITS SUPPLIERS DISCLAIM ALL REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE, AND ANY WARRANTY THAT THE LICENSED PRODUCT OR ANY IMAGE WILL OPERATE PROPERLY ON ANY DEVICES. MS AND ITS SUPPLIERS ALSO DISCLAIM ANY COMMON-LAW DUTIES RELATING TO ACCURACY OR LACK OF NEGLIGENCE. THERE IS NO WARRANTY AGAINST INTERFERENCE WITH COMPANY’S ENJOYMENT OF THE LICENSED PRODUCT OR AGAINST INFRINGEMENT.

5. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY/EXCLUSIVE REMEDY/DAMAGE EXCLUSION/RELEASE.

(a) LIMITATION OF AMOUNTS OF LIABILITY.

(i) COMPANY agrees that the total, cumulative liability of MS, Suppliers, and/or their respective officers, employees, and agents (collectively, “MS Representatives”) to COMPANY, under this License Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 8), whether in contract (including any provision of this License Agreement), tort, or otherwise, shall not exceed the greater of: (1) [***]; or (2) [***] of the amount paid by COMPANY to MS for that Licensed Product during the period of time not to exceed a [***] period immediately preceding the date on which a cause of action is filed with respect to such liability;
