Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement will be deemed as preventing either Party from seeking relief (or any provisional remedy) from any court having jurisdiction over the Parties and the subject matter of the dispute as is necessary to protect such Party’s name, proprietary information, trade secrets, know-how, or any other intellectual property rights. Because both Parties to this Agreement have had the opportunity to negotiate individual provisions of this Agreement, the Parties agree that any arbitrator or court shall not construe any ambiguity that may exist in this Agreement against a Party on the basis of that Party having drafted the Agreement.

APPENDIX A

PROCEDURES FOR EMBEDDING OPERA PRODUCTS ON DEVICES

Yandex or a third party authorized by Yandex shall be entitled to Embed Opera Products only on such Devices that are agreed in writing (e-mail from Opera’s SVP of Mobile Business Development or someone allocated by him is sufficient) on a case-by-case basis with Opera. Opera may provide or withhold its consent in its sole discretion. Opera’s consent may be withdrawn by email at any time, and such withdrawal shall become effective within forty-five days after receipt of the withdrawal e-mail.

For the purpose of obtaining Opera’s consent to Embed an Opera Product on a Device, if requested by Opera, Yandex may, or may cause a third party to, send Device prototypes to Opera for Opera’s internal testing.

Yandex shall, and shall require each third party authorized to Embed Opera Products on Devices to:

(i) ensure that Opera Products at all times function optimally when Embedded on the Devices;

(ii) Embed the latest version of the Opera Product provided to Yandex by Opera, as soon as reasonably possible, and

(iii) in case where Opera Products to be Embedded are for Java, Android, Symbian platforms and other platforms where technically possible, ensure that the application icon is located no more than two clicks from the Device’s home screen (for example, all the programs on Android devices are by default located no more than 2 clicks away from the home screen (click on “Apps” and then on chosen App)).

Yandex agrees to enforce such provisions against third parties mentioned herein and shall be liable towards Opera if such third party violates the terms and conditions of this Agreement to the same extent as if Yandex had violated the terms and conditions itself, and shall inform Opera of any case of breach of the mentioned provisions by a third party in Yandex’s knowledge.

If Yandex wishes to Embed or have a third party Embed the Opera Products on any Devices, Yandex shall, if it is reasonably possible and upon Opera’s request, provide estimated sales forecasts for such Devices on a quarterly basis to Opera in the form agreed by the Parties.

Opera shall not be obligated to perform any professional services related to Embedding of Opera Products on Devices or to optimize or improve the performance of Opera Product on Devices.

End users of the Opera Product Embedded on a Device shall always be subject to Opera’s end user license agreement included with the Opera Product.

Neither Yandex nor any third party authorized by it may change the Opera Products in any way, including by (i) removing, altering or destroying at any time (including before, during or after the Embedding of the Opera Products) any proprietary, trademark or copyright markings or notices placed upon or contained with the Opera Product or (ii) adding, changing or deleting any Links, speed dials/bookmarks, IDs (including search referral IDs or other IDs), or search engines/means, search boxes at any time except for the cases when Yandex or a Yandex partner through any automated process, toolbar, extension, other software or any other means has replaced any search functionality in any of Opera Products after any other search provider and/or its partner has replaced the initial search settings set as default by Opera in the Opera Products.

Unless Opera’s consent has been withdrawn pursuant to this Appendix A, Section 1, following any expiration or termination of the Agreement or the license provided in its Section 2.2.3, except in the case of material breach of the terms and conditions of this Agreement by Yandex or the third party in question, Yandex and any third parties authorized by Yandex to Embed the Opera Products on Devices shall have the right, which shall be effective for up to 1 (one) year after the termination of this Agreement, to continue to market, distribute and support any versions of Devices with Embedded Opera Products that were manufactured and Embedded with Opera Products prior to the effective expiration or termination date, and any such Devices that start shipping within 3 (three) months of the effective date of the expiration or termination. Furthermore, Yandex or the third party may provide minor releases or bug fix updates thereto for the remainder of the life cycle of such Devices, to the extent Opera has made such releases available to Yandex.
