Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in Article IV below.
RECITALS
WHEREAS, Palm and its Subsidiaries have transferred to PalmSource and its Subsidiaries, effective as of the Separation Date, substantially all of the assets and certain liabilities of the PalmSource Business in accordance with the Master Separation and Distribution Agreement made effective as of December 3, 2001 between Palm and PalmSource, as amended from time to time (the “Separation Agreement”).
WHEREAS, the parties previously entered into that certain Indemnification and Insurance Matters Agreement made effective as of December 3, 2001 (the “Prior Agreement”).

(c) Release and Waiver of Unknown Claims. PalmSource, for itself and as agent for each member of the PalmSource Group, and Palm, for itself and as agent for each member of the Palm Group, do hereby agree, represent, and warrant that the matters released herein are not limited to matters which are known or disclosed, and that they hereby waive any and all rights and benefits which such party now has, or in the future may have, conferred upon such party by virtue of the provisions of Section 1542 of the Civil Code of the State of California which provides:
A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASED, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.
PalmSource, for itself and as agent for each member of the PalmSource Group, and Palm, for itself and as agent for each member of the Palm Group, waive any and all provisions, rights and benefits conferred by any law of any state or territory of the United States, or principle of common law, which is similar, comparable or equivalent to Civil Code Section 1542. PalmSource, for itself and as agent for each member of the PalmSource Group, and Palm, for itself and as agent for each member of the Palm Group, may hereafter discover facts in addition to or different from those which he, she or it now knows or believes to be true with respect to the subject matter of this release, but each shall be deemed to have, finally, and forever settled and released any and all claims, known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, contingent or non-contingent, whether or not concealed or hidden, which now exist, or heretofore have existed upon any theory of law or equity now existing or coming into existence in the future, including but not limited to, conduct which is negligent, intentional, with or without malice, or a breach of any duty, law or rule, without regard to the subsequent discovery or existence of such different or additional facts.
(d) No Impairment. Nothing contained in Section 1.1(a), (b) or (c) shall impair any right of any Person to enforce the Separation Agreement or any other Ancillary Agreement (including this Agreement), in each case in accordance with its terms, including, without limitation, the provisions of Section 1.2, 1.3 and 1.4 hereof.
-2-
(e) No Actions as to Released Claims. PalmSource agrees, for itself and as agent for each member of the PalmSource Group, not to make any claim or demand, or commence any Action asserting any claim or demand, including any claim of contribution or any indemnification, against Palm or any member of the Palm Group, or any other Person released pursuant to Section 1.1(a), with respect to any Liabilities released pursuant to Section 1.1(a). Palm agrees, for itself and as agent for each member of the Palm Group, not to make any claim or demand, or commence any Action asserting any claim or demand, including any claim of contribution or any indemnification, against PalmSource or any member of the PalmSource Group, or any other Person released pursuant to Section 1.1(b), with respect to any Liabilities released pursuant to Section 1.1(b).
(f) Further Instruments. At any time, at the request of any other party, each party shall cause each member of its respective Group to execute and deliver releases reflecting the provisions hereof.
Section 1.2. Indemnification by PalmSource. PalmSource shall, for itself and as agent for each member of the PalmSource Group, indemnify, defend (or, where applicable, pay the defense costs for) and hold harmless the Palm Indemnitees from and against any and all Liabilities that any third party seeks to impose upon the Palm Indemnitees, or which are imposed upon the Palm Indemnitees, and that relate to, arise out of or result from any of the following items (without duplication):
(i) the PalmSource Business, any PalmSource Liability or any PalmSource Contract; and
(ii) any breach by PalmSource or any member of the PalmSource Group of the Separation Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements (including this Agreement).
In the event that any member of the PalmSource Group makes a payment to the Palm Indemnitees hereunder, and any of the Palm Indemnitees subsequently diminishes the Liability on account of which such payment was made, either directly or through a third-party recovery, Palm will promptly repay (or will direct a Palm Indemnitee to promptly repay) such member of the PalmSource Group the amount by which the payment made by such member of the PalmSource Group exceeds the actual cost of the associated indemnified Liability to the relevant Palm Indemnitee. This Section 1.2 shall not apply to (a) any Liability indemnified under Section 1.4; (b) any Liability under the Product License Agreements, including without limitation Liability for any claims of infringement asserted against Palm for its distribution of PalmSource products under such agreements and for any damages attributable to such products distributed by Palm after the Separation Date; (c) any breach of the Product License Agreements; or (d) any Liability under or breach of the Xerox Litigation Agreement. The allocation of Liability under each of the Product License Agreements and the Xerox Litigation Agreement and the remedies for breach of the Product License Agreements and the Xerox Litigation Agreement shall be governed by the terms and conditions of the respective Product License Agreement or the Xerox Litigation Agreement, as the case may be, which may include separate indemnification, limitation of liability and other provisions.
Section 1.3. Indemnification by Palm. Palm shall, for itself and as agent for each member of the Palm Group, indemnify, defend (or, where applicable, pay the defense costs for) and hold
-3-
harmless the PalmSource Indemnitees from and against any and all Liabilities that any third party seeks to impose upon the PalmSource Indemnitees, or which are imposed upon the PalmSource Indemnitees, and that relate to, arise out of or result from any of the following items (without duplication):
(i) the Palm Business or any Liability of the Palm Group other than the PalmSource Liabilities; and
(ii) any breach by Palm or any member of the Palm Group of the Separation Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements (including this Agreement).
In the event that any member of the Palm Group makes a payment to the PalmSource Indemnitees hereunder, and any of the PalmSource Indemnitees subsequently diminishes the Liability on account of which such payment was made, either directly or through a third-party recovery, PalmSource will promptly repay (or will direct a PalmSource Indemnitee to promptly repay) such member of the Palm Group the amount by which the payment made by such member of the Palm Group exceeds the actual cost of the associated indemnified Liability to the relevant PalmSource Indemnitee. This Section 1.3 shall not apply to (a) any Liability indemnified under Section 1.4; (b) any Liability under the Product License Agreements; (c) any breach of the Product License Agreements; or (d) any Liability under or breach of the Xerox Litigation Agreement. The allocation of Liability under each of the Product License Agreements and the Xerox Litigation Agreement and the remedies for breach of the Product License Agreements and the Xerox Litigation Agreement shall be governed by the terms and conditions of the respective Product License Agreement or the Xerox Litigation Agreement, as the case may be, which may include separate indemnification, limitation of liability and other provisions.
Section 1.4. Indemnification With Respect to Environmental Actions and Conditions.
(a) Indemnification by PalmSource. PalmSource shall, for itself and as agent for each member of the PalmSource Group, indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Palm Indemnitees from and against any and all Environmental Actions relating to, arising out of or resulting from Environmental Conditions (i) arising out of operations occurring on and after the Separation Date at any of the PalmSource Existing Facilities, (ii) on any of the PalmSource Existing Facilities arising from an event causing contamination that first occurs on or after the Separation Date (including any Release of Hazardous Materials occurring after the Separation Date that migrates to any of the PalmSource Existing Facilities), except to the extent that any such Environmental Conditions arise out of the operations of the Palm Group on and after the Separation Date, or (iii) on any of the PalmSource New Facilities.
(b) Indemnification by Palm. Palm shall, for itself and as agent for each member of the Palm Group, indemnify, defend and hold harmless the PalmSource Indemnitees from and against any and all Environmental Actions relating to, arising out of or resulting from any of the following items:
-4-
(i) Environmental Conditions (x) existing on, under, about or in the vicinity of any of the PalmSource Existing Facilities prior to the Separation Date, or (y) arising out of operations occurring on or before the Separation Date at any of the PalmSource Existing Facilities;
(ii) Except as arising out of the operations of the PalmSource Group on and after the Separation Date, Environmental Conditions on, under, about or arising out of operations occurring at any time, whether before or after the Separation Date, at any of the Palm Facilities; and
(iii) Pre-Separation Third Party Site Liabilities.
(c) Agreement Regarding Payments to Indemnitee. In the event an Indemnifying Party makes any payment to or on behalf of an Indemnitee with respect to an Environmental Action for which the Indemnifying Party is obligated to indemnify under this Section 1.4, and the Indemnitee subsequently receives any payment from a third party on account of the same financial obligation covered by the payment made by the Indemnifying Party for that Environmental Action or otherwise diminishes the financial obligation, the Indemnitee will promptly pay the Indemnifying Party the amount by which the payment made by the Indemnifying Party exceeds the actual cost of the financial obligation.
Section 1.5. Reductions for Insurance Proceeds and Other Recoveries. The amount that any party (an “Indemnifying Party”) is or may be required to pay to or on behalf of any other Person indemnified pursuant to Section 1.2, 1.3 or 1.4, as applicable (each, an “Indemnitee”), shall be reduced (retroactively or prospectively) by any Insurance Proceeds or other amounts actually received from third parties by such Indemnitee in respect of the related loss. The existence of a claim by an Indemnitee for monies from an insurer or against a third party in respect of any indemnifiable loss shall not, however, delay any payment pursuant to the indemnification provisions contained herein and otherwise determined to be due and owing by an Indemnifying Party. Rather the Indemnifying Party shall make payment in full of the amount determined to be due and owing by it against an assignment by the Indemnitee to the Indemnifying Party of the entire claim of the Indemnitee for Insurance Proceeds or against such third party. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, it is the intention of the parties that no insurer or any other third party shall be (i) entitled to a benefit it would not be entitled to receive in the absence of the foregoing indemnification provisions, or (ii) relieved of the responsibility to pay any claims for which it is obligated. If an Indemnitee has received the payment required by this Agreement from an Indemnifying Party in respect of any indemnifiable loss and later receives Insurance Proceeds or other amounts in respect of such indemnifiable loss, then such Indemnitee shall hold such Insurance Proceeds or other amounts in trust for the benefit of the Indemnifying Party (or Indemnifying Parties) and shall pay to the Indemnifying Party, as promptly as practicable after receipt, a sum equal to the amount of such Insurance Proceeds or other amounts received, up to the aggregate amount of any payments received from the Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Agreement in respect of such indemnifiable loss (or, if there is more than one Indemnifying Party, the Indemnitee shall pay each Indemnifying Party its proportionate share (based on payments received from the Indemnifying Parties) of such Insurance Proceeds or other amounts received).
Section 1.6. Procedures for Defense, Settlement and Indemnification of Third Party Claims.
-5-
(a) Notice of Claims. If a Palm Indemnitee or a PalmSource Indemnitee (as applicable) shall receive notice or otherwise learn of the assertion by a Person (including any Governmental Authority) who is not a member of the Palm Group or the PalmSource Group of any claim or of the commencement by any such Person of any Action (each such case, a “Third Party Claim”) with respect to which an Indemnifying Party may be obligated to provide indemnification to an Indemnitee pursuant to Section 1.2, 1.3 or 1.4 of this Agreement, or any other section of the Separation Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement (including this Agreement), Palm and PalmSource (as applicable) will ensure that such Indemnitee shall give such Indemnifying Party written notice thereof within 30 days after becoming aware of such Third Party Claim. Any such notice shall describe the Third Party Claim in reasonable detail. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the delay or failure of any Indemnitee or other Person to give notice as provided in this Section 1.6(a) shall not relieve the relevant Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Article I, except to the extent that such Indemnifying Party is actually and substantially prejudiced by such delay or failure to give notice.
(b) Defense By Indemnifying Party. An Indemnifying Party will manage the defense of and may settle or compromise any Third Party Claim. Within 30 days after the receipt of notice from an Indemnitee in accordance with Section 1.6(a) (or sooner, if the nature of such Third Party Claim so requires), the Indemnifying Party shall notify the Indemnitee that the Indemnifying Party will assume responsibility for managing the defense of such Third Party Claim, which notice shall specify any reservations or exceptions.
(c) Defense By Indemnitee. If an Indemnifying Party fails to assume responsibility for managing the defense of a Third Party Claim, or fails to notify an Indemnitee that it will assume responsibility as provided in Section 1.6(b), such Indemnitee may manage the defense of such Third Party Claim; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall reimburse all costs and expenses incurred in connection with such defense in the event it is ultimately determined that the Indemnifying Party is obligated to indemnify the Indemnitee with respect to such Third Party Claim.
(d) No Settlement By Indemnitee Without Consent. Unless the Indemnifying Party has failed to manage the defense of the Third Party Claim in accordance with the terms of Section 1.6(b), no Indemnitee may settle or compromise any Third Party Claim without the consent of the Indemnifying Party.
(e) No Consent to Certain Judgments or Settlements Without Consent. Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 1.6 to the contrary, no party shall consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement of a Third Party Claim without the consent of the other party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) if the effect of such judgment or settlement is to (A) permit any injunction, declaratory judgment, other order or other nonmonetary relief to be entered, directly or indirectly, against the other party, or (B) affect the other party in a material fashion due to the allocation of Liabilities and related indemnities set forth in the Separation Agreement, this Agreement or any other Ancillary Agreement.
Section 1.7. Additional Matters.
-6-
(a) Cooperation in Defense and Settlement. With respect to any Third Party Claim that implicates both PalmSource and Palm in a material fashion due to the allocation of Liabilities, responsibilities for management of defense and related indemnities set forth in the Separation Agreement, this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements, the parties agree to cooperate fully and maintain a joint defense (in a manner that will preserve the attorney-client privilege with respect thereto) so as to minimize such Liabilities and defense costs associated therewith. The party that is not responsible for managing the defense of such Third Party Claims shall, upon reasonable request, be consulted with respect to significant matters relating thereto and may, if necessary or helpful, associate counsel to assist in the defense of such claims at such party’s own expense.
(b) Substitution. In the event of an Action in which the Indemnifying Party is not a named defendant, if either the Indemnitee or the Indemnifying Party shall so request, the parties shall endeavor to substitute the Indemnifying Party for the named defendant. If such substitution or addition cannot be achieved for any reason or is not requested, the rights and obligations of the parties regarding indemnification and the management of the defense of claims as set forth in this Article I shall not be altered.
(c) Subrogation. In the event of payment by or on behalf of any Indemnifying Party to or on behalf of any Indemnitee in connection with any Third Party Claim (including payment of costs of defense), such Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated to and shall stand in the place of such Indemnitee, in whole or in part based upon whether the Indemnifying Party has paid all or only part of the Indemnitee’s Liability, as to any events or circumstances in respect of which such Indemnitee may have any right, defense or claim relating to such Third Party Claim against any claimant or plaintiff asserting such Third Party Claim or against any other person. Such Indemnitee shall cooperate with such Indemnifying Party in a reasonable manner, and at the cost and expense of such Indemnifying Party, in prosecuting any subrogated right, defense or claim.
(d) Not Applicable to Taxes. This Agreement shall not apply to Taxes (which are covered by the Tax Sharing Agreement).
Section 1.8. Survival of Indemnities. Subject to Section 3.8, the rights and obligations of the members of the Palm Group and the PalmSource Group under this Article I shall survive the sale or other transfer by any party of any Assets or businesses or the assignment by it of any Liabilities or the sale by any member of the Palm Group or the PalmSource Group of the capital stock or other equity interests of any Subsidiary to any Person.
ARTICLE II.
INSURANCE MATTERS
Section 2.1. PalmSource Insurance Coverage During the Insurance Period.
(a) Maintain Comparable Insurance. Throughout the period beginning on the Separation Date and ending on the Insurance Termination Date (the “Insurance Period”), Palm shall, subject to insurance market conditions and other factors beyond its control, maintain policies of insurance, including for the benefit of PalmSource or any of its Subsidiaries, directors, officers, employees or
-7-
other covered parties (collectively, the “PalmSource Covered Parties”) which are comparable to those maintained generally by Palm; provided, however, that if Palm determines that (i) the amount or scope of such coverage will be reduced to a level materially inferior to the level of Palm’s coverage in existence immediately prior to the Insurance Period or (ii) the retention or deductible level applicable to such coverage, if any, will be increased to a level materially greater than the levels applicable to Palm’s coverage immediately prior to the Insurance Period, Palm shall give PalmSource notice of such determination as promptly as practicable. Upon notice of such determination, PalmSource shall be entitled to evaluate its options regarding continuance of coverage hereunder and may cancel its interest in all or any portion of such coverage.
(b) Reimbursement for Premiums. PalmSource shall promptly pay or reimburse Palm, as the case may be, for premium expenses, to be allocated between Palm and PalmSource according to their respective Shared Percentages, and PalmSource shall promptly pay or reimburse Palm for any costs and expenses which Palm may incur in connection with the insurance coverages maintained pursuant to this Section 2.1, including but not limited to any subsequent premium adjustments. All payments and reimbursements by PalmSource to Palm shall be made within thirty (30) days after PalmSource’s receipt of an invoice from Palm.
Section 2.2. Cooperation and Agreement Not to Release Carriers. Each of Palm and PalmSource will share such information as is reasonably necessary in order to permit the other to manage and conduct its insurance matters in an orderly fashion. Each of Palm and PalmSource, at the request of the other, shall cooperate with and use commercially reasonable efforts to assist the other in recoveries for claims made under any insurance policy for the benefit of any insured party, and neither Palm nor PalmSource, nor any of their Subsidiaries, shall take any action which would intentionally jeopardize or otherwise interfere with either party’s ability to collect any proceeds payable pursuant to any insurance policy. Except as otherwise contemplated by the Separation Agreement, this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, after the Separation Date, neither Palm nor PalmSource shall (and each shall ensure that no member of their respective Groups shall), without the consent of the other, provide any insurance carrier with a release, or amend, modify or waive any rights under any such policy or agreement, if such release, amendment, modification or waiver would adversely affect any rights or potential rights of any member of the other Group thereunder. However, nothing in this Section 2.2 shall (A) preclude any member of any Group from presenting any claim or from exhausting any policy limit, (B) require any member of any Group to pay any premium or other amount or to incur any Liability, or (C) require any member of any Group to renew, extend or continue any policy in force.
Section 2.3. PalmSource Insurance Coverage After the Insurance Period. From and after expiration of the Insurance Period, PalmSource shall be responsible for obtaining and maintaining insurance programs for its risk of loss and such insurance arrangements shall be separate and apart from Palm’s insurance programs. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Palm, upon the request of PalmSource, shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to assist PalmSource in the transition to its own separate insurance programs from and after the Insurance Period, and shall provide PalmSource with any information that is in the possession of Palm and is reasonably available and necessary to either obtain insurance coverages for PalmSource or to assist PalmSource in preventing unintended self-insurance, in whatever form.
-8-
Section 2.4. Responsibilities for Deductibles and/or Self-insured Obligations. PalmSource will reimburse Palm for all amounts necessary to exhaust or otherwise satisfy all applicable self-insured retentions, amounts for fronted policies, deductibles and retrospective premium adjustments and similar amounts not covered by Insurance Policies in connection with PalmSource Liabilities and Insured PalmSource Liabilities.
Section 2.5. Procedures With Respect to Insured PalmSource Liabilities.
(a) Reimbursement. PalmSource will reimburse Palm for all amounts incurred to pursue insurance recoveries from Insurance Policies for Insured PalmSource Liabilities.
(b) Management of Claims. The defense of claims, suits or actions giving rise to potential or actual Insured PalmSource Liabilities will be managed (in conjunction with Palm’s insurers, as appropriate) by the party that would have had responsibility for managing such claims, suits or actions had such Insured PalmSource Liabilities been PalmSource Liabilities.
Section 2.6. Insufficient Limits of Liability for Palm Liabilities and PalmSource Liabilities.
In the event that there are insufficient limits of liability available under Palm’s Insurance Policies in effect during the Insurance Period to cover the Liabilities of Palm and/or PalmSource that would otherwise be covered by such Insurance Policies, then to the extent that other insurance is not available to Palm and/or PalmSource for such Liabilities an adjustment will be made in accordance with the following procedures:
(a) Each party will be allocated an amount equal to their Shared Percentage of the lesser of (A) the available limits of liability available under Palm’s Insurance Policies in effect prior to the Insurance Termination Date net of uncollectible amounts attributable to insurer insolvencies, and (B) the proceeds received from Palm’s Insurance Policies if the Liabilities are the subject of disputed coverage claims and, following consultation with each other, Palm and PalmSource agree to accept less than full policy limits from Palm’s insurers (the “Coverage Amount”).
(b) A party who receives more than its share of the Coverage Amount (the “Overallocated Party”) agrees to reimburse the other party (the “Underallocated Party”) to the extent that the Liabilities of the Underallocated Party that would have been covered under such Insurance Policies is less than the Underallocated Party’s share of the Coverage Amount.
(c) This Section 2.6 shall terminate ten years following the Insurance Termination Date.
Section 2.7. Cooperation. Palm and PalmSource will cooperate with each other in all respects, and they shall execute any additional documents which are reasonably necessary, to effectuate the provisions of this Article II.
Section 2.8. No Assignment or Waiver. This Agreement shall not be considered as an attempted assignment of any policy of insurance or as a contract of insurance and shall not be
-9-
construed to waive any right or remedy of any member of the Palm Group in respect of any Insurance Policy or any other contract or policy of insurance.
Section 2.9. No Liability.

-10-
thereof and shall supersede all prior written and oral and all contemporaneous oral agreements and understandings with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof including, without limitation, the Prior Agreement. Any reference to the Prior Agreement contained in the Separation Agreement or any Ancillary Document or any other agreement between the parties shall, as of the Effective Date, be deemed a reference to this Agreement as amended and restated, and not the Prior Agreement.
Section 3.3. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and all Disputes hereunder shall be governed by the laws of the State of California, excluding its conflict of law rules and the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. The Superior Court of Santa Xxxxx County and/or the United States District Court for the Northern District of California shall have jurisdiction and venue over all Disputes between the parties that are permitted to be brought in a court of law pursuant to Section 3.4.
Section 3.4. Dispute Resolution. If a dispute, controversy or claim (“Dispute”) arises between the parties relating to the interpretation or performance of this Agreement, or the grounds for the termination hereof, appropriate senior executives (e.g. director or V.P. level) of each party who shall have the authority to resolve the matter shall meet to attempt in good faith to negotiate a resolution of the Dispute prior to pursuing other available remedies. The initial meeting between the appropriate senior executives shall be referred to herein as the “Dispute Resolution Commencement Date.” Discussions and correspondence relating to trying to resolve such Dispute shall be treated as confidential information developed for the purpose of settlement and shall be exempt from discovery or production and shall not be admissible as evidence in any subsequent proceeding relating to such Dispute. If the senior executives are unable to resolve the Dispute within thirty (30) days from the Dispute Resolution Commencement Date, and either party wishes to pursue its rights relating to such Dispute, then the Dispute will be mediated by a mutually acceptable mediator appointed pursuant to the mediation rules of JAMS/Endispute within thirty (30) days after written notice by one party to the other demanding non-binding mediation. Neither party may unreasonably withhold consent to the selection of a mediator or the location of the mediation. Both parties will share the costs of the mediation equally, except that each party shall bear its own costs and expenses, including attorney’s fees, witness fees, travel expenses, and preparation costs. The parties may also agree to replace mediation with some other form of non-binding or binding alternative dispute resolution.
Any Dispute which the parties cannot resolve through mediation within ninety (90) days of the Dispute Resolution Commencement Date, unless otherwise mutually agreed, shall be submitted to final and binding arbitration under the then current Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), by three (3) arbitrators in Santa Xxxxx County, California. Such arbitrators shall be selected by the mutual agreement of the parties or, failing such agreement, shall be selected according to the aforesaid AAA rules. The arbitrators will be instructed to prepare and deliver a written, reasoned opinion stating their decision within thirty (30) days of the completion of the arbitration. The prevailing party in such arbitration shall be entitled to the reimbursement of expenses, including costs and attorneys’ and other professional fees, incurred in connection with the arbitration (but excluding any costs and fees associated with prior negotiation or mediation). The decision of the arbitrator shall be final and non-appealable and may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction. The use of any alternative dispute resolution procedures will not be
-11-
construed under the doctrine of laches, waiver or estoppel to adversely affect the rights of either party.
Any Dispute regarding the following is not required to be negotiated, mediated or arbitrated prior to seeking relief from a court of competent jurisdiction: breach of any obligation of confidentiality; infringement, misappropriation, or misuse of any intellectual property right; any other claim where interim relief from the court is sought to prevent serious and irreparable injury to one of the parties or to others. However, the parties to the Dispute shall make a good faith effort to negotiate and mediate such Dispute, according to the above procedures, while such court action is pending.

Section 3.10. Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part of either party hereto in the exercise of any right hereunder shall impair such right or be construed to be a waiver of, or acquiescence in, any breach of any representation, warranty or agreement herein, nor shall any single or partial exercise or waiver of any such right preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right. All rights and remedies existing under this Agreement or the Exhibits or Schedules attached hereto are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available.
