PALM COMPUTING SUPPORT SERVICES

Definitions.

“Severity One” Support is defined as support required to address a fatal program error in the Palm Software which has a critical business impact and precludes significant useful work from being done or, significantly precludes developer and/or end-user operations.

“Severity Two” Support is defined as support required to address a program error in the Palm Software which has a significant business impact where important features are unavailable with no acceptable workaround and development operations are seriously impaired.

“Severity Three” Support is defined as support required to address a program error in the Palm Software with some business impact, such as important features unavailable but a workaround is available or less significant features are unavailable with no reasonable workaround.

2. Support Response Times. The parties shall promptly agree in good faith to share any information and/or documentation which may be required to permit Palm Computing to identify and resolve any development support requests. The support response period begins after Palm Computing (a) has enough information to profile the reported error and (b) can recreate the reported error or has access to a facility where the error can be recreated (“Start Date”). Palm Computing agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to recreate the reported error and respond based on the following timetable:

“Severity One” Support. Palm Computing shall use reasonable commercial efforts to resolve or reduce the severity via workaround and/or patch within [**] of the Start Date, or if unable to resolve such problem within such timeframe, Palm Computing shall provide its action plan within such timeframe and provide regular status updates. A final resolution shall be identified in the action plan. Palm Computing and Licensee problem managers shall review incident after [**] and every [**] thereafter until the error has been resolved.

[**] Confidential treatment has been requested for the bracketed portion. The confidential redacted portion has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

PALM COMPUTING CONFIDENTIAL

“Severity Two” Support. Palm Computing shall use reasonable commercial efforts to resolve or reduce the severity via workaround and/or patch within [**] of the Start Date, or if unable to resolve such problem within such timeframe, Palm Computing shall provide its action plan within such timeframe and provide regular status updates. Palm Computing and Licensee problem managers shall review incident after [**]. A final engineering resolution shall be identified in the action plan.

“Severity Three” Support. Palm Computing shall use reasonable commercial efforts to acknowledge the error within [**] of receipt of notice. Palm Computing shall provide a final engineering resolution within [**] or next scheduled release, whichever is sooner.

So long as Palm Computing is using reasonable commercial efforts to recreate reported errors and resolve or reduce Severity One and Severity Two problems in accordance with the action plan provided, Palm Computing’s inability to resolve such problems within the timeframes stated herein or the action plan shall not be deemed a material breach of Section 6.1 or any other provision of the Agreement. The prescribed support response times above may be extended as mutually agreed, such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld, e.g., if resolution of the problem requires timely hardware certification or test, or if resolution represents significant risk to the essential functions. Any support requests that are attributable to any matters other than errors in the unmodified Palm Software provided by Palm Computing to Licensee hereunder are subject to billing at Palm Computing’s standard time and materials rates.

3. Support Evaluation. The parties will attempt in good faith to promptly resolve any controversy or claim relating to performance of the technical support assistance provided by Palm Computing under this Agreement. Each party may request the other party to involve appropriate senior executives of such other party who shall have the authority to resolve the matter.

Commencing upon the Amendment No. 6 Effective Date, all source code provided by PalmSource to Licensee under Amendment No. 1 shall be subject to the provisions of this Amendment No. 6.

3. New Sections 1.21 – 1.46. The following is added immediately after Section 1.20:

“1.21 “API” means technology which provides a set of functions for developing software and hardware intended to interface in an integrated manner with the Palm Software.

1.22 “Derivative Works” means any software programs, and copies thereof, which are developed by Licensee and which are based on or incorporate any part of the Palm Software delivered by PalmSource hereunder, including without limitation any revision, modification, translation (including compilation or recapitulation by computer), abridgement, condensation, expansion, or any other form in which the Palm Software may be recast, transformed or adapted, and that, if prepared without PalmSource’s authorization, would constitute a copyright or trade secret infringement of the Palm Software. A Dynamically Loadable Module that interacts with Object Code Modules in the Palm Software exclusively through an Exposed System API will not be considered a Derivative Work solely by reason of the use of such Exposed System API. A Licensee Replacement Fragment that interacts with Object Code

-54-

Modules in the Palm Software exclusively through the Internal Module Interfaces designated by PalmSource for such fragment will not be considered a Derivative Work solely by reason of the use of such internal interfaces.

1.23 “Palm Source Code” means certain source code for certain Palm Software which PalmSource provides to Licensee under Section 3 below or which PalmSource otherwise has provided, or may at its sole option from time to time elect to provide, to Licensee under the License Agreement and any source code to which PalmSource may provide access as part of co-development in connection with the Business Collaboration Agreement or as Released Code as set forth in Appendix A hereto.

1.24 “Palm Source Code Documentation” means comments included in the Palm Source Code and any other technical documentation related to non-public aspects of the Palm Source Code which PalmSource has provided, or may at its sole option from time to time elect to provide. Palm Source Code Documentation does not include Palm End-User Documentation or the Palm Development Environment made generally available to licensees and developers who do not have access to Palm Source Code.

1.25 “Alpha Release” means a commercial release of Palm OS designated as such by PalmSource in its sole discretion and with respect to which PalmSource plans to make subsequent versions available as a “Beta Release” and “GM Release”.

1.26 “Beta Release” means a commercial release of Palm OS designated as such by PalmSource in its sole discretion and with respect to which PalmSource plans to make a subsequent version available as a “GM Release”.

1.27 “Golden Master Release” or “GM Release” means a commercial release of Palm OS designated as such by PalmSource in its sole discretion and made generally available by PalmSource to its licensees as a final golden master version of the Palm OS.

1.28 “Object Code Module” means a binary module consisting of both object code and resources. For example, without limitation, a PRC file is an Object Code Module.

1.29 “Object Code Fragment” means a well-defined subset of an Object Code Module designated as such by PalmSource that can be produced from distinct unmodified portions of the source code and original data resources for the respective Object Code Module.

1.30 “Dynamically Loadable Module” means an Object Code Module that is executed solely by being independently loaded in memory (instantiated and prepared for execution) separate from any other Object Code Modules and linked only at execution time with other Object Code Modules.

1.31 “Module Interfaces” means any interaction protocol that can be used between two Object Code Modules, including without limitation (i) any function call protocol,

-55-

including the explicit description of all input and output parameters, their meaning and authorized values, (ii) the definition of any data structure including the explicit description of its members, their meaning and authorized values, and (iii) the definition of any other protocol or data format that can be used by two Object Code Modules to interact through direct function call, inter process communication, remote process communication, or any other form of message invocation, or any form of access to data of the other.

1.32 “Exported Module Interface” means a Module Interface of an Object Code Module built in such way that it can be accessed or used by a Dynamically Loadable Module linking to it only at execution time.

1.33 “Internal Module Interfaces” means all Module Interfaces of an Object Code Module that are not Exported Module Interfaces.

1.34 “System APIs” means Exported Module Interfaces for Object Code Modules included in the Palm Software provided by PalmSource to Licensee under this License Agreement.

1.35 “Exposed System APIs” means any System API that has been advertised in written form by PalmSource to Licensee as a method approved by PalmSource for Dynamically Loadable Modules of third parties to interact with a specific version of the Palm OS. As used above, advertisement means the provision of a specification and/or sample code to Licensee clearly explaining the approved manner of using the System API and identifying it as an “Exposed” API. A System API can be “Exposed” to Licensee independently of its exposure to other third parties and conversely. The property for a System API to be “Exposed” or “Unexposed” is independent of the properties of being “Public”, “Private”, “Supported” or “Unsupported”. In particular, exposing a previously Unexposed System API shall not be construed as changing its status with respect to being “Private”, “Supported” or “Unsupported”.

1.36 “Unexposed System APIs” means any System API that is not an Exposed System API. The parties acknowledge that, even if not advertised, such System APIs may be technically accessible by third parties and that the use or disclosure of such System APIs shall not cause such Module Interfaces to be considered “Exposed System APIs”.

1.37 “Licensee Add-On Module” means a Dynamically Loadable Module that interacts with Object Code Modules in the Palm Software exclusively through an Exposed System API and that (i) is developed by Licensee independent of the Palm Source Code and Palm Source Code Documentation, and (ii) is not a Derivative Work.

-56-

1.38 “Unsupported Module” means any Dynamically Loadable Module that interacts with Object Code Modules in the Palm Software through all or any part of any Unexposed System API, whether or not also using Exposed System APIs.

1.39 “Replaceable Object Code Fragment” means an Object Code Fragment in the Palm Software designated as such by PalmSource that interacts the Object Code Modules in the Palm Software exclusively through a small and well-defined set of Internal Module Interfaces, to the point where PalmSource considers the Object Code Fragment a cleanly defined independent sub-component of the Object Code Module. For example, without limitation, Replaceable Object Code Fragments may include error correction patches released by PalmSource for Object Code Modules in the Palm Software.

1.40 “Licensee Replacement Fragment” means an Object Code Fragment which (i) replaces a Replaceable Object Code Fragment using the same Internal Module Interfaces designated by PalmSource for such Replaceable Object Code Fragment and without modification of any other portion of the Palm Software, (ii) for such Licensee Replacement Fragment which is not a Patch, is approved in written or electronic form (i.e. email transmission) by PalmSource in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.7(d), and (iii) is not a Derivative Work and does not incorporate any part of the Palm Source Code or Palm Source Code Documentation.

1.41 “OS Developments” means any and all of the foregoing (i) Derivative Works (ii) Unsupported Modules, and (iii) modifications, extensions, additions, revisions, enhancements and improvements to System APIs.

1.42 “Licensee Related Works” shall mean Licensee’s rights in any pre-existing materials including, without limitation, notices, reports, documentation, drawings, computer programs (source code, object code, and listings), derivatives of pre-existing copyrighted works of Licensee, inventions, creations, works, devices, masks, models and work-in-process.

1.43 “Development Code” means Palm Source Code made available by PalmSource to Licensee for purposes of co-development projects under the Business Collaboration Agreement and the respective co-development agreement entered into pursuant to the Business Collaboration Agreement.

1.44 “Released Code” means Palm Source Code which is made available by PalmSource to Licensee for an Alpha Release, Beta Release or GM Release of each Update and Upgrade which PalmSource is required to provide to Licensee under Section 6.1 below.

1.45 “Patch” means an Object Code Module that replaces a function call in the Palm OS by inserting a different address in the link table in order to redirect the function call, where the replacement of such function call is (i) supported in PalmSource’s standard third party developer software development kit for the

-57-

respective version of the Palm OS, or (ii) is a replacement of an Exposed System API function call and is supported in PalmSource’s standard product development kit for licensees of the respective version of the Palm OS. A “Patch” is limited to those function calls where the Palm OS provides a lookup table listing the addresses for the respective function call in order to support redirecting the function call. It is understood that versions of the Palm OS may restrict which function calls can be redirected in this manner.

1.46 “Assert” means to bring an infringement or misappropriation action of any nature before any legal, judicial, arbitration, administrative, executive or other type of body or tribunal that has or claims to have authority to adjudicate such action in whole or in part regarding the use, making, having made, demonstration, selling, offering for sale, importation or other disposition of a respective product or service.

4. Exhibit A. Insert the following as the last item on the list contained in Section A.3 (Palm Development Environment) of Exhibit A (Palm Software), as previously amended in Amendment No. 3: [**]

representation, reproduction and translation rights), except for the moral right but only to the extent that it is inalienable as per Sections L.121-1 and L.121-7 of the French Intellectual Property Code (“Code de la Propriete Intellectuelle”), if such French law is applicable. In this regard, Licensee will ensure that Licensee’s employees, agents and subcontractors appropriately waive any and all claims and assign to PalmSource any and all interest, right and title in and to the Licensee Modifications, worldwide, including, without limitation, the copyright, patent and trade secret rights associated therewith (except for the limited inalienable moral right under French law as described above if such French law is applicable). During and after the term of this Agreement, Licensee will assist PalmSource in every reasonable way, at PalmSource’s expense, to defend, maintain, perfect, register and secure for PalmSource’s benefit all copyrights, patent rights, mask work rights, trade secret rights, and other proprietary rights in and to the Licensee Modifications. PalmSource agrees to grant Licensee a royalty-free, fully-paid, irrevocable, non-terminable, perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive license, solely under inventions and patents assigned by Licensee to PalmSource hereunder in connection with Licensee Modifications, to make, use, offer for sale, import, export, sublicense, or otherwise dispose of any of Licensee’s products and/or operate any of Licensee’s services, for any purposes, with full rights to sublicense; provided that the foregoing license shall not include any rights to Confidential Information or intellectual property of PalmSource that is not invented by Licensee and assigned to PalmSource even if incorporated into, necessary for use of, or otherwise underlying such invention or patent. With respect to patent rights based on Licensee Modifications which are assigned to PalmSource by Licensee, if Licensee desires for PalmSource to file a patent application or maintain a patent for a particular invention even though ownership has been assigned to PalmSource, Licensee may request to discuss such matter with PalmSource in good faith. In such event, PalmSource will consider Licensee’s legitimate business concerns as well as PalmSource’s own interests (which may include, without limitation, PalmSource’s interests regarding confidentiality, costs and intellectual property strategy) in deciding whether to file or maintain a patent for such invention, but shall retain final discretion over such matters.

9.7 Development of Licensee Replacement Fragments. The following step shall be taken with respect to Licensee’s development of Licensee Replacement Fragments:

(a) Licensee is not required to notify PalmSource in advance of Licensee Replacement Fragments which are Patches supported in PalmSource’s standard third party developer software development kit for the respective version of the Palm OS.

(b) For all other Licensee Replacement Fragments, Licensee will notify PalmSource within [**] of committing engineering or other resources to researching and/or

developing any Licensee Replacement Fragment with a specific description of the methods and interfaces that Licensee desires to use to create such Licensee Replacement Fragment and the functions to be provided by such Licensee Replacement Fragment.

(c) For Licensee Replacement Fragments which are Patches to Exposed System APIs supported in PalmSource’s standard product development kit for licensees of the respective version of the Palm OS, Licensee agrees to consider in good faith any comments or concerns provided by PalmSource regarding the Patch. However, after considering such comments and concerns, Licensee may proceed with development of the Patch.

(d) For any other software which is not a Patch, the software shall not be considered a Licensee Replacement Fragment unless the development proposed by Licensee, and Licensee’s retained ownership rights, are approved in writing or by electronic means (i.e. email confirmation ) by PalmSource. Within [**] after its receipt of notification from Licensee pursuant to (a) hereinabove, PalmSource will use reasonable efforts to notify Licensee in writing or by electronic means (i.e. email confirmation) whether it approves or objects to Licensee’s development of any such Licensee Replacement Fragment and, if it objects, to provide an explanation of the reasons for such objection.

PalmSource shall have the right to audit and thoroughly review the source code of such software upon request in accordance with Section 2.9(h). PalmSource acknowledges that the information related to Sony’s notification and the source code owned by Licensee are Licensee’s Confidential Information. PalmSource retains the right in its sole discretion to develop Object Code Fragments which may be the same or substantially similar to the Licensee Replacement Fragments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the use of Licensee Replacement Fragments by Licensee remains subject to all of the Test Criteria and other requirements set forth in this Agreement.

9.8 Request to Convert Unexposed System API into Exposed System API. If Licensee desires to have an Unexposed System API converted into an Exposed System API, Licensee will make a request to PalmSource in writing in advance prior to the time at which technological feasibility of the Object Code Module using this System API is first determined. The notification will include a specific reference to the Unexposed System API and a precise technical description of Licensee’s desired uses of such Unexposed System API. PalmSource approval for such conversion will not be unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding the foregoing, PalmSource may withhold approval in its sole discretion if PalmSource finds a technological-feasibility problem or compatibility problem with such proposed conversion, or suggests an

alternate solution that does not require use of the Unexposed System. If approval is granted by PalmSource, PalmSource will provide documentation and/or sample code showing the approved manner of using the System API in order to qualify as an Exposed System API. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, an Unexposed System API shall not be converted into an Exposed System API unless approved in writing by PalmSource in advance.

9.9 Licensee Related Works. Within [**] of PalmSource’s request or within [**] after initial delivery of the OS Developments to PalmSource, whichever earlier, Licensee shall disclose in writing to PalmSource a complete list and description of all Licensee Related Works incorporated into any OS Developments.

Licensee hereby grants PalmSource, a royalty-free, fully paid, irrevocable, non-terminable, perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive license to use, make and have made, modify, demonstrate, distribute, offer for sale, sell and import all or any part of “PalmSource Products” incorporating or based on Licensee Related Works, with full rights to sublicense and have sublicensed such rights to any third party, prepare and have prepared derivative works based on, reproduce, have reproduced Licensee Related Works for the purpose of the development of PalmSource Products. Licensee grants PalmSource no other rights, whether by implication, estoppel, statute or otherwise, except as expressly provided in this Agreement or any co-development agreement. Further, no license or immunity is granted by Licensee either directly or by implication, estoppel or otherwise, to any third parties acquiring PalmSource Products from PalmSource for the combination thereof with other items or for use of such combination, except that combinations will be licensed to the extent that the PalmSource Products would constitute, in the absence of a license, (without regard to knowledge, intent or geographic requirements) contributory infringement or inducement of infringement with respect to such combination and to the extent of each patent claim related to such contributory infringement or inducement of infringement (“Licensed Combinations”). Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, Licensee may, at its discretion, terminate such license with respect to a particular licensee of the PalmSource Product if such licensee has Asserted its own patents related to the Licensed Combinations against Licensee with respect to the Licensee Products. PalmSource shall be the sole and exclusive owner of any such modifications or derivative works prepared by or on behalf of PalmSource subject to Licensee’s ownership of the Licensee Related Work.

Licensee shall not incorporate or provide any Licensee Related Works that infringe the copyrights or misappropriate the trade secrets of any third party or that use any intellectual property of Licensee unless Licensee has the unrestricted right to grant to PalmSource the licenses set forth in Section 9. Licensee will use at least the same

level of efforts to avoid infringement of any third party patents by Licensee Modifications and Licensee Related Works that it uses for development of its own products, but no less than reasonable efforts. In addition, Licensee shall not incorporate or provide any Licensee Related Works in connection with OS Developments for live versions of the source code tree as described in Appendix A without the prior written approval of PalmSource. Any items incorporated or provided for live versions of the source code tree as described in Appendix A which are not so approved by PalmSource will be deemed to be OS Developments owned by PalmSource under Section 9.5 above. Each Party will use reasonable efforts to identify areas in the source code tree where Licensee may have inadvertently incorporated Licensee Related Works. PalmSource will use reasonable efforts to notify Licensee if it becomes aware of such areas prior to release and to consider mutually agreed alternatives before deeming such items to be OS Developments owned by PalmSource. If Licensee inadvertently incorporates Licensee Related Works which are covered by Licensee’s pre-existing patents and patent applications for inventions which Licensee can demonstrate were originally developed independently of any Source Materials, then ownership of those patents and patent applications will not be automatically assigned to PalmSource under the foregoing sentence; provided, however, that those patents and patent applications shall be licensed to PalmSource as Licensee Related Works under this Section 9.9 for use in connection with PalmSource Products and modifications and derivatives thereof.

9.10 Indemnification. Licensee shall indemnify, hold harmless and, at PalmSource’s request, defend PalmSource and its sublicensees and customers and its/their officers, directors, agents and employees (“Defended Parties”) from and against all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses, including but not limited to, reasonable attorney’s fees and costs of suit, resulting from such claim alleging that Licensee’s OS Developments or Licensee Related Works to the extent used in or for PalmSource Products, infringe the copyrights, or misappropriate the trade secrets, of any third party; provided that (i) Licensee is promptly notified, rendered reasonable assistance by Palm as required (at Licensee’s expense), and permitted to direct the defense or settlement negotiations, and (ii) Licensee shall have no liability for any infringement arising from deliverables not supplied by Licensee, or any modifications to any deliverables not made by or for Licensee, or to the extent arising from strict compliance with PalmSource’s written specifications.”

13. New Section 10.4, Source Code Warranty Disclaimer. Immediately after Section 10.3 of the License Agreement insert the following:

“10.4 Source Code Warranty Disclaimer.

(a) PALMSOURCE MAKES NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, WHATSOEVER AS TO THE PALM SOURCE CODE OR PALM SOURCE CODE DOCUMENTATION. IN PARTICULAR, ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE

14. In consideration of the information rights and co-development efforts to be provided by Licensee under the Business Collaboration Agreement, and the rights and license granted to PalmSource for co-developed software and other modifications to the Palm Software set forth in this Amendment No. 6, the term of the License Agreement will be extended to allow Licensee to distribute co-developed and follow-on releases of the Palm OS which use contributions from Licensee at the current royalty rate for a period of time, followed by an adjusted royalty rate as set forth below; provided, however, that these provisions shall not take effect until (1) the earlier of (i) completion of the initial co-development project under the Business Collaboration Agreement, or (ii) Licensee making available substantial development resources for co-development under the Business Collaboration for a period of at least six (6) months after the Effective Date; and (2) Licensee providing the resulting Licensee Modifications to PalmSource in accordance with Section 9 of the License Agreement.

(a) Section 15.1, Term. Subject to the foregoing, Section 15.1 of the License Agreement will be replaced with the following:

“This Agreement shall be effective from the Effective Date until the tenth (10^th) year anniversary of the Amendment No. 6 Effective Date, unless earlier terminated in accordance with the terms hereof.

(b) Section 15.2, Termination Due to Bankruptcy, etc. Subject to the foregoing, the following will be inserted after the last sentence in Section 15.2:

“In the event that Palm undergoes an Adverse Acquisition (as defined below), and (b) the original ten (10) year term described in Section 15.1 above will expire in less than five (5) years from the time such event first occurs, then Licensee may elect in writing within thirty (30) days after such time to extend the term until five (5) years after such event first occurs; provided that Licensee is not in breach of this License Agreement and continues to comply with all of the terms and conditions of this License Agreement, including without limitation Licensee’s obligations under Sections 4 and 5. As used above, an ‘Adverse Acquisition’ means that a third party acquires more than fifty (50%) of the total voting power of PalmSource and is reasonably expected by Licensee to materially adversely change the manner of developing, licensing and supporting future releases of the Palm OS. Licensee will notify the acquirer within thirty (30) days after the acquisition if it reasonably believes that the acquisition will materially adversely impact the availability and support of future releases of the Palm OS for Licensee. Licensee agrees to enter into discussions with the acquirer and reasonably consider alternatives before extending the term of this Agreement under this paragraph.

In the event that PalmSource undergoes any of (i) through (iv), PalmSource acknowledges that all rights and licenses granted to Licensee under or pursuant to this Agreement as amended are and shall otherwise be deemed to be, for purposes of Section 365 (n) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, licenses of rights to intellectual property as defined under Section 101 (56) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, as amended. The parties agree that Licensee, as a licensee of such rights under this Agreement as amended, shall retain and may fully exercise all of its rights and elections under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, as amended. PalmSource acknowledges that if PalmSource, as a debtor in possession or a trustee-in-bankruptcy in a case under the Bankruptcy Code, rejects this Agreement, Sony and its Affiliates may elect to retain their rights under this Agreement as provided in Section 365 (n) of the Bankruptcy Code.”
