If any Subsidiary of a Party or any product line or business unit of a Party (the “Divesting Party”) is acquired during the Term of this Agreement, the rights of the Divesting Party under this Agreement with respect to such Subsidiary, product line or business unit (as applicable) shall extend to the benefit of the acquirer and the acquirer shall automatically be deemed to have received a grant from the other Party and its Subsidiaries of the rights, covenants and immunities under the

22

—CONFIDENTIAL

Licensed Patents and Covenant Patents of such other Party and its Subsidiaries with respect to such Subsidiary, product line or business unit (as applicable), to the same extent that the Divesting Party would have been entitled to exercise its rights with respect to such Subsidiary, product line or business unit (as applicable) if such sale had not occurred.

Article 12. – Indemnity

12.1 Palm and its Subsidiaries agree to indemnify, hold harmless and defend Xerox, its affiliates and the holders of the Licensed Patents, their trustees, officers, directors, employees and agents, against any and all claims for damages (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of the breach of any warranties made in Section 2.2, or based upon any breach by Palm this Agreement, except to the extent that such liability arises out of any act or omission of Xerox.

12.2 The liability of Palm and its Subsidiaries under Section 12.1 is conditioned upon prompt notice by Xerox to Palm of all such claims after Xerox receives notice of their existence and Xerox’s offering Palm an opportunity, to the extent permissible by applicable law, to assume their defense. In the event Palm assumes the defense of any such claim, Xerox (i) shall, at its expense, furnish Palm with any information in Xerox’s possession or control that Palm reasonably may request for such defense, and (ii) reserves the right to continue to participate in the defense of its interests, at its own cost and expense. Palm shall not be liable for any settlement or compromise unless, prior to any such agreement, Xerox notifies Palm of the proposed settlement or compromise and Palm approves such agreement, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.

—CONFIDENTIAL

12.3 Xerox agrees to indemnify, hold harmless and defend Palm and its Subsidiaries, their officers, directors, employees and agents, against any and all claims for damages (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of the breach of any warranties made in Section 2.1 or any other breach by Xerox of this Agreement, except to the extent such liability arises out of any act or omission of Palm or its Subsidiaries.

12.4 The liability of Xerox under Section 12.3 is conditioned upon prompt notice to Xerox by Palm or its Subsidiaries of all such claims after Palm or its Subsidiaries receive notice of their existence and Palm or its Subsidiaries’ offering Xerox an opportunity, to the extent permissible by applicable law, to assume their defense. In the event Xerox assumes the defense of any such claim, Palm or its Subsidiaries (i) shall, at their expense, furnish Xerox with any information in their possession or control that Xerox reasonably may request for such defense, and (ii) reserve the right to continue to participate in the defense of their interests, at their own cost and expense. Xerox shall not be liable for any settlement or compromise unless, prior to any such agreement, Palm or its Subsidiaries notify Xerox of the proposed settlement or compromise and Xerox approves such agreement, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.

Article 13. – Miscellaneous

13.1 The rights and obligations of the Parties under this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with laws of the State of New York, without reference to conflicts of laws principles. The Parties irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal and state courts of the State of Delaware;

24

—CONFIDENTIAL

provided, however, that each Party shall have the right to institute judicial proceedings against the other Party or anyone acting by, through or under such other Party, in order to enforce the instituting Party’s rights hereunder through reformation of contract, specific performance, injunction or similar equitable relief.

13.2 The terms and conditions of this Agreement may only be amended by a writing signed by both Parties.

13.3 Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, neither this Agreement nor any rights or obligations hereunder may be assigned, delegated or otherwise transferred by Palm or Xerox, in whole or in part, whether voluntary or by operation of law, without the prior written consent of the other Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Palm is acquired by a Third Party (including, without limitation, as a result of a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of a Party to a Third Party or a merger or consolidation), Palm and its Subsidiaries shall retain all rights hereunder (including, without limitation, under Articles 2 and 5 hereof) as long as either (1) the acquiring entity maintains Palm as a separate subsidiary, or (2) the acquiring entity merges Palm into the acquiring entity but maintains Palm as a separately-identifiable business, including where such business is an unincorporated business unit or division of the acquiring entity. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary herein, in no event shall any such Third Party acquirer be bound by, or have any obligation under, the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, under Article 5) with respect to any Patent other than (i) the Covenant Patents of

25

—CONFIDENTIAL

Palm and its Subsidiaries immediately prior to such acquisition, merger, consolidation or assignment, and (ii) the Patent Families thereof, to the extent issuing within the Covenant Term. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement will be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the Parties and their respective successor and assigns. In no event shall the Third Party’s products and services existing prior to and/or as of the date of such acquisition be covered by this Agreement through the acquisition of Palm.

13.4 In the event of any sale, assignment, transfer, exclusive license, or other conveyance of any ownership interest in a Party’s Licensed Patents or Covenant Patents (“Transfer”), such Party shall (i) ensure that the purchaser, assignee, transferee, or exclusive licensee (“Transferee”) shall, as a condition of such Transfer, be bound in writing by all applicable licenses, immunities, covenants, and restrictions contained in this Agreement, and (ii) ensure that such Transfer does not affect such Party’s right and ability to perform all of its obligations under this Agreement. In no event shall such Party be relieved or excused from any of its obligations under this Agreement as a result of such Transfer. Failure of a Party to satisfy this provision shall result in the Transfer to the Transferee becoming null and void.

13.5 If a Subsidiary of a Party ceases to be a Subsidiary of such Party (“Change of Status”), the licenses, rights and immunities granted in this Agreement under the Licensed Patents of such Subsidiaries will remain in effect, in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, with respect to such of those Licensed Patents and Covenant Patents that have an earliest filing date prior to the

26

—CONFIDENTIAL

consummation of such Change of Status, but not with regard to any Patents that have an earliest filing date after the consummation of such Change of Status.

13.6 Any notice required or permitted under this Agreement or required by law must be in writing and must be (i) delivered in person, (ii) sent by facsimile or electronic mail with a hard copy of such facsimile sent by (international or domestic) registered or (international or domestic) express or, for domestic addresses, certified mail, postage prepaid, or

13.7 Except as expressly provided herein, the rights and remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided by law or otherwise. Failure by either Party to detect, protest, or remedy any breach of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver or impairment of any such term or condition, or the right of such Party at any time to avail itself of such remedies as it may have for any breach or breaches of such term or condition. A waiver may only occur pursuant to the express written permission of an authorized officer of the party against whom the waiver is asserted.

13.8 In the event any term, condition or provision of this Agreement is declared or found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, unenforceable or void, the Parties shall endeavor in good faith to agree to amendments that will preserve, as far as possible, the intentions expressed in this Agreement. If the Parties fail to agree on such amendments, such invalid term, condition or provision shall be severed from the remaining terms, conditions and provisions, which shall continue to be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

13.13 This Agreement sets forth the entire agreement and understanding between the Parties and supersedes and cancels all previous negotiations, agreements and commitments, whether oral or in writing, with respect to the subject matter described herein and therein, and neither Party shall be bound by any term, clause, provision, or condition save as expressly provided in this Agreement or as duly set forth in writing as a subsequent amendment to this Agreement, signed by duly authorized officers of each Party, except that the Parties continue to be bound by the terms of the Protective Order previously issued in the Pending Action. Such Protective Order shall continue in full force and effect and shall be deemed an agreement supplementary to this license for purposes of the Untied States Bankruptcy Code, 11 USC § 365(n).

13.14 This Agreement may be executed in two counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original and all of which together constitute one instrument. Executed counterparts of this Agreement sent and received via facsimile or electronic transmission means shall be deemed originals for all purposes.

13.15 All licenses granted to Palm under or pursuant to this Agreement are and shall be

29

—CONFIDENTIAL

deemed to be, for purpose of Section 365(n) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, licenses of rights to intellectual property as defined under Section 101 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, as amended. The Parties agree that Palm, as a licensee of such rights under this Agreement, shall retain and may fully exercise all of its rights and elections under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, as amended.
