Re: Resolution Of Outstanding Issues
Dear Xxxx:
Thank you for your proposal. This letter is intended to document the
agreement (the "Agreement") we reached by email on July 12, 2002. This Agreement
is as follows:
First, Geoworks agrees that Telcordia has a valid claim against Geoworks
in the amount of $289,533.37 (the "Claim Amount"). In the event that full
payment of the compromised amounts set forth below is not made, Telcordia shall
have the right to assert a claim against Geoworks in the full Claim Amount less
any amounts paid under this Agreement.
Second, Telcordia has agreed, subject to terms of the above paragraph, to
accept $100,000 and an assignment of Geoworks right to collect payments due
under the Licensing Agreement with SAIC dated 10/24/01 as full payment for all
amounts due as of August 1, 2002 from Geoworks. Payment by Geoworks to Telcordia
is to be made as follows:
1) payment of $50,000 by August 6, 2002
2) payment of $25,000 by December 31, 2002
3) payment of $25,000 by March 31, 2002;
In addition, pursuant to this Agreement, Geoworks hereby assigns any
payments due to Geoworks from SAIC pursuant to the Licensing Agreement with SAIC
for AirBoss executed by SAIC on 10/17/01. In connection with the assignment,
Geoworks will promptly execute any required documentation necessary to advise
and compel SAIC to make any payments under this agreement directly to Telcordia.
Geoworks authorizes Telcordia to act as its agent in dealing with SAIC
concerning tracking and accounting for these sums/royalties, and Geoworks will
not be responsible for collecting any such sums on behalf of Telcordia as
Telcordia is hereby authorized to collect such royalties/payments. Telcordia
shall not be deemed a successor in interest under the Licensing Agreement, nor
shall it assume any responsibility other than of collection under said
agreement.
Third, except as set forth in this Agreement there are no other sums due
to Telcordia from Geoworks in connection with Geoworks' historical use of
Telcordia facilities or under the Value Added Reseller Agreement dated November
21, 2000 (the "VAR Agreement") other than the $100,000 payment and assignment
referred to above.
Fourth, Telcordia and Geoworks agree that the expiration date of the VAR
Agreement shall be constricted from November 20, 2003 to August 1, 2002 without
right of renewal. Only those obligations that survive the VAR by its express
terms and Telcordia's right to collect sums due under this Agreement shall
survive expiration of the VAR Agreement.
Fifth, Geoworks certifies that the party executing this agreement by
signing the bottom of this letter has the authority to execute this Agreement,
that this Agreement been authorized by Geoworks pursuant to appropriate
corporate action including a resolution of its board of directors if required,
that the agreement does not violate the rights of any third party, and Geoworks
is authorized to execute this Agreement under applicable law.
If the foregoing is acceptable, please sign and return a copy of this
letter. Upon return of a signed agreement by facsimile Geoworks shall make the
first payment reflected above via wire transfer. Please also return one signed
original of this agreement.
Sincerely,
Geoworks, Inc.
