-9-

ARTICLE 5

NO TERMINATION

Each party acknowledges and agrees that its remedy for breach by the other party of any provision hereof shall be, subject to the requirements of Article 6, to bring a claim to recover damages subject to the limits set forth in this Agreement and to seek any other appropriate equitable relief, other than termination of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties intend that this Agreement continue in perpetuity.

ARTICLE 6

DISPUTE RESOLUTION

6.1 MEDIATION. If a dispute, controversy or claim (“Dispute”) arises between the parties relating to the interpretation or performance of this Agreement 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. 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 attorneys’ 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 alternate dispute resolution (“ADR”).

6.2 ARBITRATION. 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 ▇▇▇▇▇ 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

-10-

entitled to expenses, including costs and reasonable 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 ADR procedures will not be construed under the doctrine of laches, waiver or estoppel to adversely affect the rights of either party.

6.3 COURT ACTION. 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.

6.4 CONTINUITY OF SERVICE AND PERFORMANCE. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the parties will continue to provide service and honor all other commitments under this Agreement during the course of dispute resolution pursuant to the provisions of this Article 6 with respect to all matters not subject to such dispute, controversy or claim.

6.5 RESOLUTION BY PALMSOURCE COMMITTEE. Notwithstanding the foregoing, while PalmSource remains a wholly-owned subsidiary (excluding shares issued pursuant to PalmSource equity plans to officers, directors, employees and consultants of PalmSource), if, pursuant to Section 6.1, 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 in lieu of mediation or subsequent remedy contemplated by Section 6.2-6.3, the Dispute will be submitted to the PalmSource Committee for resolution (which committee shall consist of the CEO of Palm, the CEO of PalmSource and the Chairman of the Board of Palm, or such other composition as is mutually acceptable to Palm and PalmSource).
