Section 4.5 No Implied Licenses. Other than the rights and licenses granted in this Article 4 or arising under the doctrine of patent exhaustion in the applicable jurisdiction, the Parties do not grant any licenses by implication, estoppel, or otherwise under any Patent for the benefit of any Person.
Section 4.6 Term of Patent Licenses. The term of the license granted under this Article 4 under a Patent shall continue for the full term of such Patent.
Section 4.7 Full Force and Effect. The licenses granted under this Article 4 will remain in full force and effect regardless of any subsequent transfer of rights in or to the Licensed Motorola Patents or Licensed Mobility Patents, as applicable, including, without limitation, any assignment, license, sale, gift, or bequest; and any such transfer of rights shall be made subject to the continuing obligations of this Article 4.
Section 4.8 Limitation of Infringement Remedies. In the event that a Party or any member of such Party's Group (the "Asserting Party") asserts, claims, or prosecutes any infringement or alleged infringement of any Patent of the Asserting Party against the other Party or any member of such other Party's Group (the "Accused Party"), any infringement may be based on, and any reasonable royalty and other damages for past infringement may be determined and calculated, only on any events and activities after the Distribution, and the Accused Party shall be deemed not to have engaged in any infringement and have had no sales or other events on which any reasonable royalty or other damages may be determined or calculated, at any time prior to the Distribution. If and to the extent that the Asserting Party shall, notwithstanding the foregoing agreement in this Section 4.8, have any rights or remedies for infringement of any of the Asserting Party's Patents relating to any events or activities prior to the Distribution, all such rights and remedies, whether known or unknown, are hereby expressly and irrevocably waived by the Asserting Party.
ARTICLE 5
LIMITED SUBLICENSE RIGHT; RESTRICTED LICENSE
Section 5.1 Limited Technology Sublicense Right. Within the limits of, but not limiting, the express rights and licenses granted by a Party under Article 3, and subject to the restrictions in this Article 5, each Party and each member of such Party's Group may grant a sublicense under the express rights and licenses granted to such Party's Group under Article 3, and disclose any Technology licensed to such Party's Group under Article 3, to any of its suppliers, prospective suppliers or third Person joint developers (under appropriate joint development agreements) solely to the extent reasonably necessary for the procurement by a member of such Party's Group of components, subsystems, subassemblies, products and/or services of the businesses of such member. Such disclosure and/or license may only be made for a bona fide business purpose for the benefit of such member.

Section 5.3 Prohibition of Sham Transactions. The rights granted hereunder to each Party and the members of such Party's Group under this Article 5 or otherwise under this Agreement may not be exercised by such Party or member in a manner such that the exercise of such Party's or member's procurement rights is a sham or laundering scheme to effect the licensing of the Technology licensed by the other Party under Article 3, or any portion thereof, to a third Person and not for bona fide business purposes of the licensed Party or member.
Section 5.4 No Transfer. Nothing in this Article 5 will be construed to obligate either Party to transfer or provide technical assistance to third Persons with respect to Technology that such Party has licensed to the other Party under this Agreement.

Subject only to such licenses and grants, each Party retains all right, title and interest in and to and under all Patents, Non-Patent Intellectual Property Rights, Technology and Confidential Information of such Party. Without limiting the foregoing, each Party will have the sole and discretionary right (but not the obligation) to file for, prosecute and maintain any applications, registrations or recordation of any Patent and Non-Patent Intellectual Property owned by such Party, and to take and bring any action to enforce or otherwise seek to abate any infringement thereof.
Section 6.2 No Representations or Warranties.
(a) MOBILITY (ON BEHALF OF ITSELF AND EACH MEMBER OF THE MOBILITY GROUP) ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT: (i) NO MEMBER OF THE MOTOROLA GROUP IS MAKING IN THIS AGREEMENT (OR ANY OTHER AGREEMENT CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT OR OTHERWISE) ANY REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AS TO THE CONDITION, QUALITY, MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS OF ANY LICENSED MOTOROLA PATENTS OR LICENSED MOTOROLA TECHNOLOGY; (ii) ALL SUCH LICENSED MOTOROLA PATENTS OR LICENSED MOTOROLA TECHNOLOGY SHALL BE LICENSED ON AN "AS IS," "WHERE IS" BASIS; AND (iii) MOBILITY AND ITS AFFILIATES SHALL BEAR THE ECONOMIC AND LEGAL RISKS THAT ANY LICENSE SHALL PROVE TO BE INSUFFICIENT TO VEST IN IT THE RIGHTS AND LICENSES PURPORTED TO BE GRANTED HEREUNDER.
(b) MOTOROLA (ON BEHALF OF ITSELF AND EACH MEMBER OF THE MOTOROLA GROUP) ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT: (i) NO MEMBER OF THE MOBILITY GROUP IS MAKING IN THIS AGREEMENT (OR ANY OTHER AGREEMENT CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT OR OTHERWISE) ANY REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AS TO THE CONDITION, QUALITY, MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS OF ANY LICENSED MOBILITY PATENTS OR LICENSED MOBILITY TECHNOLOGY; (ii) ALL SUCH LICENSED MOBILITY PATENTS OR LICENSED MOBILITY TECHNOLOGY SHALL BE LICENSED ON AN "AS IS," "WHERE IS" BASIS; AND (iii) MOTOROLA AND ITS AFFILIATES SHALL BEAR THE ECONOMIC AND LEGAL RISKS THAT ANY LICENSE SHALL PROVE TO BE INSUFFICIENT TO VEST IN IT THE RIGHTS AND LICENSES PURPORTED TO BE GRANTED HEREUNDER.

(a) Subject to the limitations and exclusions stated below, the Mobility Group will defend, at Mobility's expense, any Claim against any Motorola Indemnified Party and will indemnify and hold each such Motorola Indemnified Party harmless from all Damages awarded in any Action based thereon or resulting from settlement of such Action or any such Claim. For purposes of this Section 6.3, "Claim" means a claim (including an indemnification demand made by a third Person (other than a Person that is then a member of the Group of either Party) to a Motorola Indemnified Party concerning such claim to the extent of the Motorola Indemnified Party's obligations under its Agreement with such third Person) that a product:
(i) furnished by the Transferred Business to the Motorola Group (provided that the term "Motorola" shall, for the purposes of this Section 6.3(a)(i), exclude the Transferred Business) prior to the Effective Date ("Intra-Company Product"); or
15
(ii) furnished by the Transferred Business to a third Person prior to the Effective Date; or
(iii) furnished by the Mobility Group to a third Person on or after the Effective Date but prior to Distribution (as defined in the Separation Agreement) ((i), (ii), and (iii), collectively, "Mobility Indemnified Products");
infringes directly or indirectly (including, without limitation, contributorily or by way of inducement) a Patent, a design patent or a Non-Patent Intellectual Property Right anywhere in the world.
(b) In connection with any such Claim or Action, Motorola shall:
(i) promptly notify Mobility in writing as soon as reasonably practicable after Motorola first becomes aware of the Claim, and
(ii) give Mobility sole control of the defense of the Claim and all reasonably requested assistance for resolving the Claim or defending any Action based thereon, provided that Mobility shall reimburse Motorola for any reasonable external cost and expense incurred by Motorola for providing such assistance.
(c) Mobility will not be liable for the settlement of a Claim, or Action based thereon, made without Mobility's prior written consent unless Mobility materially breaches its duty to defend hereunder. If any suit against Motorola involves a Claim as well as other claims against Motorola ("Shared Patent Litigation"), Mobility shall nonetheless be fully responsible for defending, indemnifying and holding Motorola harmless from the Claim(s), and shall provide reasonable cooperation to Motorola's counsel with respect to the other claims asserted in such suit; provided, however, that Mobility will have no obligation to defend, indemnify, or hold Motorola harmless from such other claims. The Shared Patent Litigation shall be managed according to the provisions of Schedule 4, "Management of Shared Patent Litigation."
(d) Mobility will have no obligation to defend, indemnify or hold Motorola harmless to the extent:
(i) Motorola or any third Person has altered the Intra-Company Product, and the alleged infringement would not have occurred but for this alteration;
(ii) Motorola or any third Person has combined the Intra-Company Product with any other products or elements not furnished by Mobility, and the alleged infringement would not have occurred but for this combination; or
(iii) the Intra-Company Products were designed or manufactured in accordance with Motorola's designs, specifications, or instructions (other than those of the Transferred Business), and the alleged infringement would not have occurred but for these designs, specifications or instructions.
16
(e) THIS SECTION CONTAINS (I) MOBILITY'S ENTIRE LIABILITY AND ALL OBLIGATIONS RELATED TO INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY INFRINGEMENT OR MISAPPROPRIATION FOR MOBILITY INDEMNIFIED PRODUCTS, AND (II) MOTOROLA'S EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES AGAINST MOBILITY FOR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY INFRINGEMENT OR MISAPPROPRIATION OF MOBILITY INDEMNIFIED PRODUCTS. THESE REMEDIES ARE PROVIDED IN LIEU OF ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE WARRANTY AGAINST INFRINGEMENT SPECIFIED IN THE UNIFORM COMMERCIAL CODE.
Section 6.4 Limitation of Liability. NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT TO THE CONTRARY, IN NO EVENT WILL EITHER PARTY OR ANY OF ITS GROUP MEMBERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, COLLATERAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES OR LOST PROFITS IN CONNECTION WITH ANY CLAIMS, LOSSES, DAMAGES, OR INJURIES ARISING OUT OF THE CONDUCT OF SUCH PARTY PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT; PROVIDED THAT NOTHING IN THIS SECTION 6.4 SHALL EXCLUDE OR LIMIT ANY OBLIGATION OR LIABILITY OF MOBILITY UNDER SECTION 6.3 TO INDEMNIFY MOTOROLA FOR ANY DAMAGES, COSTS, AND EXPENSES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, REASONABLE ATTORNEYS' FEES) FOR WHICH MOTOROLA IS LIABLE TO A THIRD PERSON AS AWARDED IN AN ACTION OR RESULTING FROM A SETTLEMENT OF AN ACTION OR ANY CLAIM AGAINST MOTOROLA.
ARTICLE 7

Section 7.1 Confidential Information. Each Party and the members of such Party's Group (collectively, the "Receiving Party") expressly acknowledges that in connection with this Agreement members of the other Party's Group (collectively, the "Disclosing Party") have licensed, disclosed or may disclose or make available information and material relating to the Disclosing Party's business or Technology which is confidential or proprietary in nature (including, without limitation, information that embodies or relates to Technology, any other technical, business, financial, customer information, product development plans, supplier information, forecasts, strategies and other confidential information) which to the extent disclosed to the Receiving Party is hereinafter referred to as "Confidential Information" of the Disclosing Party provided such information: (a) is disclosed in writing and conspicuously marked "CONFIDENTIAL" or with words of similar effect; or (b) is disclosed orally after the Effective Date and is identified as confidential information at the time of disclosure and, within 30 days of such disclosure, is summarized in a writing by the Disclosing Party that is submitted to the Receiving Party and that confirms the confidential nature of such information.
Section 7.2 Treatment of Confidential Information. The Receiving Party will: (a) take commercially reasonable precautions to protect such Confidential Information consistent with all precautions the Receiving Party usually employs with respect to its own comparable confidential materials; (b) except as expressly provided in this Agreement, not disclose any such Confidential Information to any third Person, except under terms and conditions (including confidentiality, use, and disclosure restrictions) normally used by the Receiving Party to protect its own confidential or proprietary information of a similar nature; and (c) not use or disclose such Confidential Information except as necessary to exercise its rights and perform its obligations under this Agreement in accordance with any applicable restrictions or obligations with respect thereto. Subject to the limitations and requirements set forth in this Article 7 and elsewhere in this Agreement (including, without limitation Article 5) the Receiving Party may disclose Technology of the Disclosing Party to a customer, supplier, prospective supplier or third Person joint developer of the Receiving Party.
17
Section 7.3 Exclusions. Without granting any right or license, the Disclosing Party agrees that Section 7.2 will not apply with respect to any information that the Receiving Party can document: (a) is or becomes generally available to the public through no improper action or inaction by the Receiving Party or any of its Affiliates, agents, consultants or employees; or (b) was rightfully disclosed to the Receiving Party by a third Person provided the Receiving Party complies with restrictions imposed by the third Person. The Receiving Party, with prior written notice to the Disclosing Party, may disclose such Confidential Information to the minimum extent possible that is required to be disclosed to a governmental entity or agency, or pursuant to the lawful requirement or request of a governmental entity or agency, provided that reasonable measures are taken to guard against further disclosure (including without limitation, seeking appropriate confidential treatment or a protective order, or assisting the Disclosing Party to do so) and has allowed the Disclosing Party to participate in any proceeding that requires the disclosure.
ARTICLE 8
DISPUTE RESOLUTION
Section 8.1 Informal Dispute Resolution and Mediation. It is the intent of the Parties to use their respective reasonable best efforts to negotiate and resolve any Dispute on a mutually acceptable negotiated basis. In furtherance of the foregoing, either Party may deliver a notice (an "Escalation Notice") to the other Party demanding an in person meeting involving representatives of the Parties and their respective Group members involved in the Dispute at a senior level of management (or if the Parties agree, of the appropriate strategic business unit or division). The Parties shall use their reasonable best efforts to meet within thirty (30) days of the Escalation Notice. The Parties may, by mutual consent, retain a mediator to aid in any attempt to informally negotiate resolution of any dispute, although any opinion expressed by a mediator shall be strictly advisory and shall not be binding on the Parties or their respective Group members, nor shall any opinion expressed by the mediator be admissible in any arbitration proceedings. Mediation is not a prerequisite to a demand for arbitration.
Section 8.2 Arbitration.
(a) For purposes of this Section 8, an "Arbitrable Dispute" means a Dispute regarding the breach, meaning, interpretation or application, and the rights and obligations of the parties under, Articles 3, 4, 5 and 7 of this Agreement and a "Non-Arbitrable Dispute" means any and all other Disputes.
(b) If the Parties are unable to resolve any Arbitrable Dispute as contemplated by Section 8.1 of this Article 8 within thirty (30) days of the Escalation Notice, then any such Arbitrable Dispute may be submitted to mandatory and binding arbitration upon written notice ("Arbitration Demand") by either Party (the "Disputing Party"). The arbitration shall be conducted under the auspices of the American Arbitration Association in accordance with its Commercial Arbitration Rules.
(c) The arbitration shall be decided by a Panel of three independent arbitrators. Each Party shall appoint one arbitrator within fifteen (15) days after the Arbitration Demand. The two arbitrators thus appointed shall choose the third arbitrator who will act as the Chairman of the Tribunal. If within thirty (30) days, one party has not appointed an arbitrator, or within thirty (30) days after the appointment of the second arbitrator, the two arbitrators have not agreed on the choice of the Chairman, the arbitrator and/or Chairman shall be appointed pursuant to the AAA Commercial Rules.
(d) To initiate the arbitration, the Disputing Party shall send an Arbitration Demand to the other Party, which shall: (a) describe in reasonable detail the nature of the Arbitrable Dispute; (b) state the amount of the claim (if any); (c) specify the requested relief; and (d) submit the matter to the American Arbitration Association, which shall designate a tribunal as provided in subsection (c) above (the "Arbitration Panel"). The arbitration shall be conducted in Chicago, Illinois.
18
(e) Any award rendered by the Arbitration Panel shall be final, conclusive and binding upon the Parties and their respective Group members and any judgment thereon may be entered and enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction.
(f) Each Party shall bear an equal share of all fees, costs and expenses of the Arbitration Panel and the American Arbitration Association, and notwithstanding any law to the contrary, each Party shall bear all the fees, costs and expenses of its own attorneys, experts and witnesses; provided, however, that in connection with any judicial proceeding to compel arbitration pursuant to this Agreement or to enforce any award rendered by the Arbitration Panel, the prevailing Party in such a proceeding shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses incurred in connection with such proceeding, in addition to any other relief to which it may be entitled.
(g) Prompt disposal of any Arbitrable Dispute is important to the Parties. The Parties shall conduct resolution of each Arbitrable Dispute expeditiously and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to finally dispose of each Arbitrable Dispute within one hundred and twenty (120) days or less following the Arbitration Demand.
Section 8.3 Interim Remedies. Nothing in Section 8.1 or 8.2 above will prevent either Motorola or Mobility from seeking injunctive or similar relief if: (i) the Dispute has not been resolved within six (6) months following the Escalation Notice; or (ii) any delay in seeking such relief could result in serious and irreparable injury to either Motorola, Mobility, or any member of either Party's Group.
Section 8.4 Parties to Dispute Resolution. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Motorola and Mobility are the only members of their respective Group entitled to commence a dispute resolution procedure under this Agreement, whether pursuant to this Article 8 or otherwise, and each Party will cause its respective Group members not to commence any dispute resolution procedure other than through such Party as provided in this Article 8.
Section 8.5 Other Disputes. At the end of the thirty (30)-day period specified in Section 8.1 (or sooner, as provided in Section 8.3), either party may commence an action on any Non-Arbitrable Dispute in any court of competent jurisdiction, except to the extent that a dispute is covered by the dispute resolution process in the Separation Agreement, in which case such Non-Arbitrable Dispute shall be resolved through such dispute resolution process.
Section 8.6 Application of Liability Limits. Under no circumstances is the Arbitration Panel authorized to award damages in excess of or inconsistent with the limitations set forth in Section 6.4 of this Agreement.
ARTICLE 9

Section 9.2 Performance. Motorola shall cause to be performed, and hereby guarantees the performance of, all actions, agreements and obligations set forth in this Agreement to be performed by
19
any member of the Motorola Group. Mobility shall cause to be performed, and hereby guarantees the performance of, all actions, agreements and obligations set forth in this Agreement to be performed by any member of the Mobility Group.

This Agreement shall expire once the last existing Licensed Motorola Patent, Licensed Mobility Patent, and Non-Patent Intellectual Property Right in any Licensed Motorola Technology or any Licensed Mobility Technology irretrievably ceases to exist.
Section 10.2 Material Breach. No Party may unilaterally terminate this Agreement, or any licenses granted hereunder, for a material breach of this Agreement by another Party, provided, however, that each Party will retain any remedies for such breach that it may be entitled to in a court of law or equity.

(i) the rights and licenses granted to such Acquired Party under Article 3 (and all provisions under the terms of this Agreement related to such rights and licenses) shall continue for the benefit of the Resulting Party and all of the Resulting Party's Affiliates (whether Existing Affiliates, Merged Affiliates, or New Affiliates); and
(ii) the rights and licenses granted to the Acquired Party under Article 4 (and all provisions under this Agreement to the extent related to such rights and licenses) shall extend to, apply
22
to, cover and continue for the benefit of the Resulting Party and all of the Resulting Party's Affiliates (whether Existing Affiliates, Merged Affiliates or New Affiliates) for any products and services in the same product categories in which the Acquired Party and its Existing Affiliates substantially developed, offered and/or sold products or services immediately before such Party Acquisition and the natural evolution of any such product categories, but shall not extend to, apply to, cover or continue for any products and services of the Third Person Acquiror or any New Affiliates immediately prior to such Party Acquisition and any natural evolution of such products or services.
For the avoidance of doubt, the Resulting Party shall not be obligated to grant to the Non-Acquired Party and the Non-Acquired Party's Group any Patent licenses to any Patents owned or Licenseable by the Third Party Acquiror or any Affiliate of the Third Party Acquiror before such Party Acquisition.
Section 11.5 Patent Litigation with Acquiring or Acquired Third Persons.
(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if a Third Person Acquiror or any of its Affiliates is engaged in any patent litigation with any member of the Non-Acquired Party's Group at the time of the Party Acquisition (regardless of who initiated the litigation), then no license and rights under Article 4 will extend to any products or services of the Third Person Acquiror (including any of its Affiliates that existed at any time before the Party Acquisition becomes effective) and derivatives of such products or services.
(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if an Acquired Third Person (under clause (i) of the definition of Acquired Third Person) or any of its Affiliates is engaged in any patent litigation with any member of the Non-Acquiring Party's Group (if such member is a named party in such patent litigation) at the time of a Third Person Acquisition (regardless of who initiated the litigation) if the first complaint of such patent litigation against such Acquired Third Person or any of its Affiliates was filed prior to the signing of the first agreement between the Acquiring Party and the Acquired Third Person for such Third Person Acquisition, then no license and rights under Article 4 will extend to any products or services of such Acquired Third Person (including any of its Affiliates that existed at any time before the Third Person Acquisition becomes effective) and derivatives of such products or services, and no license and right under Article 4 under any Patents of the Acquired Third Person and any Affiliates of the Acquired Third Person shall extend to any products or services of the Non-Acquiring Party.
(c) The provisions of this Section 11.5 shall be in effect only as long as the patent litigation under Section 11.5(a) or Section 11.5(b) is pending and shall cease to be effective upon a final non-appealable judgment or a settlement concluding all patent litigation referenced under Section 11.5(b). All licenses and rights under Article 4 that were deemed inapplicable under Section 11.5(a) or Section 11.5(b) as a result of the existence of such patent litigation shall become effective as of, but not retroactively with regard to any time prior to, the date on which such final non-appealable judgment or such settlement is effective.
Section 11.6 Divestiture.
(a) Except solely as set forth in Section 11.6(b) or Section 11.6(c), in the event that a Party spins off or otherwise divests a part of (but not all or substantially all) of its business ("Divested Business"), whether to a new entity owning such Divested Business or by transferring such Divested Business to a third Person (other than a Person that was immediately prior to such transfer an Affiliate of such Party) (a "Divestiture"), such Party (the "Divesting Party") may not, without the express prior written consent of the other Party (the "Non-Divesting Party"), which shall be in the Non-Divesting Party's sole discretion, assign, transfer, extend, sublicense, or share any right granted to the Divesting
23
Party or any of its Affiliates (including, without limitation, any of the licenses granted to the Divesting Party and its Affiliates) in this Agreement, and may not delegate any obligation of the Divesting Party or any of its Affiliates under this Agreement, in connection with such Divestiture.
(b) Notwithstanding Section 11.6(a), in the event of a Divestiture by Mobility of all or substantially all of its Home Business, Mobility may grant sublicenses, under all licenses granted to Mobility under Article 3 and Article 4, notwithstanding any prohibition of, or any conditions on, any sublicensing under Article 3 or Article 4 or Article 5, to the acquiror of such Home Business, whether it is a newly created entity or a previously existing third Person (the "Home Business Acquiror"), solely for and in the Home Business Field. The term "Home Business Field" means any products and services of Mobility's Home Business immediately prior to such Divestiture and any natural evolution of any such product or service. Following the Divestiture of the Home Business, the Home Business Acquiror shall have, solely within the Home Business Field, the same rights, and be subject to the same restrictions, under Articles 3, 4 and 5 as Mobility immediately prior to such Divestiture, and any Affiliates of the Home Business Acquiror that were not already Affiliates of Mobility immediately prior to such Divestiture shall have, solely within the Home Business Field, the same rights, and be subject to the same restrictions, under Articles 3, 4, and 5 as any Affiliate of Mobility immediately prior to such Divestiture, provided that the Home Business Acquiror acknowledges that it and its Affiliates are bound by and will comply with all terms and conditions of this Agreement (but for the avoidance of doubt, the Home Business Acquiror shall have no obligation to grant licenses of Intellectual Property to Motorola other than those already granted prior to such Divestiture). For the avoidance of doubt, the Home Business Acquiror shall not have any of the rights and obligations of Mobility under this Article 11 (e.g., with regard to subsequent acquisitions or divestitures).
(c) Notwithstanding Section 11.6(a), in the event of a Divestiture by Motorola of all or substantially all of its Networks Business, Motorola may grant sublicenses, under all licenses granted to Motorola under Article 3 and Article 4, notwithstanding any prohibition of, or any conditions on, any sublicensing under Article 3 or Article 4 or Article 5, to the acquiror of such Networks Business, whether it is a newly created entity or a previously existing third Person (the "Networks Business Acquiror") , solely for and in the Networks Business Field. The term "Networks Business Field" means any products and services of Motorola's Networks Business immediately prior to such Divestiture and any natural evolution of any such product or service. Following the Divestiture of the Networks Business, the Networks Business Acquiror shall have, solely within the Networks Business Field, the same rights, and be subject to the same restrictions, under Articles 3, 4 and 5 as Motorola immediately prior to such Divestiture, and any Affiliates of the Networks Business Acquiror that were not already Affiliates of Motorola immediately prior to such Divestiture shall have, solely within the Networks Business Field, the same rights, and be subject to the same restrictions, under Articles 3, 4, and 5 as any Affiliate of Motorola immediately prior to such Divestiture, provided that the Networks Business Acquiror acknowledges that it and its Affiliates are bound by and will comply with all terms and conditions of this Agreement (but for the avoidance of doubt, the Networks Business Acquiror shall have no obligation to grant licenses of Intellectual Property to Mobility other than those already granted prior to such Divestiture). For the avoidance of doubt, the Networks Business Acquiror shall not have any of the rights and obligations of Motorola under this Article 11 (e.g., with regard to subsequent acquisitions or divestitures).
Section 11.7 Binding Effect. Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Article 11, this Agreement binds and benefits the Parties and their respective successors and assigns.
Section 11.8 Group Member Termination. If a Person ceases to be an Affiliate of a Party (i.e., ceases to be a member of such Party's Group), then, except as provided in Section 11.6:
(a) all rights and license granted with respect to such Person under this Agreement will automatically terminate on the date such Person ceases to be an Affiliate (except, however, as to product units already sold by such Person as of such date);
24
(b) all of the licenses and rights granted by such Person with respect to the members of the other Party's Group under this Agreement with respect to Patents of such Person for which applications were filed prior to the date such Person ceases to be an Affiliate will not be affected by such cessation; and
(c) such Person's obligations under Section 2.2 and Article 7 will survive, together with all other obligations under this Agreement that arose prior to the date such Person ceases to be an Affiliate.
