Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On December 5, 2006, Palm, Inc. (“Palm”) entered into a definitive agreement to license the source code for Palm Operating System (“OS”) Garnet from ACCESS Systems Americas (“ACCESS”) on a fully paid-up, irrevocable (other than for certain material breaches of Palm’s obligations) basis. The agreement includes the right for Palm to modify the Palm OS Garnet source code, to retain ownership of those modifications and to use Palm OS Garnet in whole or in part in any Palm product. In addition, ACCESS has expanded its license to Palm of ACCESS patents that existed as of December 2001, to cover all Palm products. Previously, this patent license had applied only to Palm products based on Palm OS. Palm will pay ACCESS a total of $44 million under the agreement subject to Palm’s acceptance of delivery of the Palm OS Garnet source code and other deliverables under the agreement.
