PLAN OF DISSOLUTION
                               OF BE INCORPORATED

   This  Plan  of  Dissolution  (the  "Plan")  is  intended  to  accomplish  the
dissolution and winding-up of Be Incorporated, a Delaware corporation ("Be"), in
accordance with the Delaware General Corporation Law, as follows:

   1. The Board of Directors of Be (the "Board of  Directors")  has adopted this
Plan and called a special  meeting (the "Meeting") of the holders of Be's common
stock to approve  dissolution  of Be  pursuant to this plan of  dissolution.  If
stockholders  holding a majority of Be's  outstanding  common  stock,  par value
$0.001 per share (the  "Common  Stock"),  vote in favor of the  approval of this
Plan at the Meeting,  the Plan shall constitute the adopted Plan of Be as of the
date of the Meeting,  or such later date on which the  stockholders  may approve
the  dissolution  of Be pursuant to the Plan if the  Meeting is  adjourned  to a
later date (the "Adoption Date").

   2. Pursuant to the terms of that certain Asset Purchase Agreement dated as of
August 16, 2001, as amended,  among Be, Palm,  Inc.  ("Palm") and ECA Subsidiary
Acquisition  Corporation,  an  indirect  wholly  owned  subsidiary  of Palm (the
"Purchase  Agreement"),   Be  will  be  retaining  certain  rights,  assets  and
liabilities  in  connection  with the sale of assets  pursuant  to the  Purchase
Agreement,  including  its  cash  and  cash  equivalents,  receivables,  certain
contractual  rights, and rights to assert and bring certain claims and causes of
action,  including under antitrust laws. If, notwithstanding the approval of the
dissolution  pursuant  to his  Plan by the  stockholders  of Be,  the  Board  of
Directors determines that it would be in the best interests of Be's stockholders
or creditors  for Be not to dissolve,  including in order to permit Be to pursue
(or more easily pursue) and retained claims or causes of action, the dissolution
of Be pursuant to this Plan may be abandoned  or delayed  until a future date to
be determined by B oard of Directors.

   3. From and after the Adoption Date,  contingent upon the consummation of the
transactions  contemplated  by  the  Purchase  Agreement,  and  subject  to  the
discretionary right of the Board of Directors to abandon or delay implementation
of this Plan as described in Section 2 above,  Be shall  complete the  following
corporate actions:

      (a) Be shall  determine  whether and when to (i) transfer  Be's  remaining
   property and assets to a liquidating trust (established pursuant to Section 6
   hereof),  or (ii) collect,  sell, exchange or otherwise dispose of all of its
   property  and  assets  in  one or  more  transactions  upon  such  terms  and
   conditions  as the Board of  Directors,  in its  absolute  discretion,  deems
   expedient and in the best interests of Be and the  stockholders and creditors
   of Be,  without  any  further  vote or  action  by Be's  stockholders.  It is
   understood  that Be will be permitted to commence the sale and disposition of
   its assets as soon as  possible  following  the  adoption of this Plan by the
   Board of Directors and approve of the dissolution of Be pursuant to this Plan
   by the  stockholders  of Be in order to  attain  the  highest  value for such
   assets and maximize value for its stockholders and creditors. Be's assets and
   properties may be sold in bulk to one buyer or a small number of buyers or on
   a  piecemeal  basis to  numerous  buyers.  Be will not be  required to obtain
   appraisals  or other third party  opinions as to the value of its  properties
   and  assets in  connection  with the  liquidation.  In  connection  with such
   collection,  sale, exchange and other disposition,  Be shall use commercially
   reasonable  collect or make  provision  for the  collection  of all  accounts
   receivable, debts and claims owing to Be.

      (b) Be  shall  pay or,  as  determined  by the  Board of  Directors,  make
   reasonable  provision to pay, all claims,  liabilities and obligations of Be,
   including all  unascertained,  contingent,  conditional  or unmatured  claims
   known to Be and all claims  which are known to Be but for which the  identity
   of the claimant is unknown.

      (c)  Subject  to the  approval  of any such  distribution  by the Board of
   Directors,  Be shall distribute pro rata to its stockholders  available cash,
   including the cash proceeds of any sale, exchange or disposition,

                                      1

   except  such cash,  property or assets as are  required  for paying or making
   reasonable  provision  for  the  liabilities  and  obligations  of  Be.  Such
   distribution may occur all at once or in a series of distributions  and shall
   be in cash or  assets,  in such  amounts,  and at such time or times,  as the
   Board of Directors or the Trustees (as defined in Section 6 hereof), in their
   absolute  discretion,  may determine.  If and to the extent deemed necessary,
   appropriate or desirable by the Board of Directors or the Trustees,  in their
   absolute  discretion,  Be may establish and set aside a reasonable  amount of
   cash and/or  property (the  "Contingency  Reserve") to satisfy claims against
   and  unmatured or contingent  liabilities  and  obligation of Be,  including,
   without  limitation,  tax  obligations,  and all expenses of the sale of Be's
   property  and assets,  of the  collection  and defense of Be's  property  and
   assets, and the liquidation and dissolution provided for in this Plan.

   4. Any  distributions  to the  stockholders of Be pursuant to Section 3 and 6
hereof  shall  be  in  complete  redemption  and  cancellation  of  all  of  the
outstanding Common Stock of Be. As a condition to receipt of any distribution to
Be's  stockholders,  the Board of Directors or the Trustees,  in their  absolute
discretion,  may require the  stockholders to (i) surrender  their  certificates
evidencing  the  Common  Stock  to  Be or  its  agents  for  recording  of  such
distributions thereon or (ii) furnish Be with evidence satisfactory to the Board
of  Directors  or the  Trustees  of the  loss,  theft  or  destruction  of their
certificates  evidencing  the Common  Stock,  together  with such surety bond or
other security or indemnity as may be required by and  satisfactory to the Board
of  Directors  or  the  Trustees.  As  a  condition  to  receipt  of  any  final
distribution to Be's  stockholders,  the Board of Directors or the Trustees,  in
their absolute  discretion,  may require the stockholders to (i) surrender their
certificates  evidencing the Common Stock to Be or its agent for cancellation or
(ii) furnish Be with such security or indemnity.  The Company will finally close
its stock transfer books and discontinue  recording transfers of Common Stock on
the  earliest  to occur of (i) the close of business on the record date fixed by
the Board of Directors for the final liquidating distribution, (ii) the close of
business on the date on which the remaining  assets of Be are transferred to the
Trust or (iii) such other date on which the Board of  Directors,  in  accordance
with  applicable  law,  determines  and close such  stock  transfer  books,  and
thereafter  certificates  representing  Common Stock will not be  assignable  or
transferable  on the  books of Be  except  by  will,  intestate  succession,  or
operation of law.

   5. If any distribution to a stockholder  cannot be made,  whether because the
stockholder cannot be located,  has not surrendered its certificates  evidencing
the Common Stock as required hereunder or for any other reason, the distribution
to  which  such  stockholder  is  entitled  (unless  transferred  to  the  Trust
established pursuant to Section 6 hereof) shall be transferred,  at such time as
the final liquidating  distribution is made by Be, to the official of such state
or other  jurisdiction  authorized by applicable  law to receive the proceeds of
such  distribution.  The proceeds of such distribution  shall thereafter be held
solely for the benefit of and for ultimate  distribution to such  stockholder as
the sole equitable owner thereof and shall be treated as abandoned  property and
escheat  to the  applicable  state  or other  jurisdiction  in  accordance  with
applicable law. In no event shall the proceeds of any such  distribution  revert
to or become the property of Be.

   6. If deemed  necessary,  appropriate or desirable by the Board of Directors,
in its absolute  discretion,  in furtherance of the liquidation and distribution
of Be's assets to the stockholders,  as a final liquidating distribution or from
time to  time,  Be  shall  transfer  to one or more  liquidating  trustees  (the
"Trustees"),  for the benefit of its stockholders and/or creditors, under one or
more  liquidating  trusts (each a "Trust" and  collectively  the "Trusts"),  any
assets of Be which are (i) not  reasonably  susceptible to  distribution  to the
stockholders,  including without  limitation  non-cash assets and assets held on
behalf of the  stockholders (a) who cannot be located or who do not tender their
certificates  evidencing  the  Common  Stock to Be or its agent as herein  above
required or (b) to whom  distributions  may not be made based upon  restrictions
under  contract  or law,  including,  without  limitation,  restrictions  of the
federal securities laws and regulations promulgated thereunder,  or (ii) held as
the Contingen cy Reserve. The Board of Directors is hereby authorized to appoint
one or more  individuals,  corporations,  partnerships or other persons,  or any
combination thereof,  including,  without limitation,  any one or more officers,
directors,  employees,  agents or  representatives  of Be, to act as the initial
Trustee or  Trustees  for the  benefit of the  stockholders  and to receive  any
assets of Be. Any Trustees appointed as provided in the preceding sentence shall
succeed to all right,  title and interest of Be of any kind and  character  with
respect  to  such  transferred  assets  and,  to the  extent  of the  assets  so
transferred  and solely in their  capacity as Trustees,  shall assume all of the
liabilities

                                      2


and obligations of Be, including, without limitation, any unsatisfied claims and
unascertained or contingent  liabilities.  Further,  any conveyance of assets to
the Trustees shall be deemed to be a  distribution  of property and assets by Be
to the  stockholders  for the  purposes  of  Section  3 of this  Plan.  Any such
conveyance  to the  Trustees  shall  be in  trust  for  the  creditors  and  the
stockholders  of Be. Be,  subject to this Section and as authorized by the Board
of Directors, in its absolute discretion, may enter into one or more liquidating
trust agreements with the Trustees, on such terms and conditions as the Board of
Directors,  in its  absolute  discretion,  may deem  necessary,  appropriate  or
desirable.  Approval  of the  dissolution  of Be  pursuant  to this  Plan by the
holders of a majority  of the  outstanding  Common  Stock shall  constitute  the
approval of the stockholders of any such appointment, any such liquidating trust
agreement and any transfer of assets by Be to the Trust, or Trusts, as their act
and as a part h ereof as if herein written.

   7. After the Adoption Date,  but subject to Section 2 above,  the officers of
Be shall,  at such time as the Board of Directors,  in its absolute  discretion,
deems necessary, appropriate or desirable, obtain any certificates required from
the Delaware tax  authorities  and, upon obtaining such  certificates,  Be shall
file with the  Secretary  of State of the State of  Delaware  a  certificate  of
dissolution in accordance with the Delaware  General  Corporation Law. After the
filing of the  Certificate of  Dissolution,  Be shall not engage in any business
activities  except to the extent  necessary to preserve the value of its assets,
wind-up its business  affairs and distribute its assets in accordance  with this
Plan.

   8.  Approval of the  dissolution  of Be pursuant to this Plan by holders of a
majority of the  outstanding  Common Stock shall  constitute the approval of the
stockholders of the sale, exchange or other disposition in liquidation of all of
the property and assets of Be, whether such sale,  exchange or other disposition
occurs in one  transaction  or a series of  transactions,  and shall  constitute
ratification of all contracts for sale,  exchange or other disposition which are
conditioned on approval of this Plan.

   9. In  connection  with and for the  purposes of  implementing  and  assuring
completion  of this Plan,  Be may, in the  absolute  discretion  of the Board of
Directors, pay any brokerage,  agency,  professional and other fees and expenses
of persons  rendering  services to Be in connection with the  collection,  sale,
exchange or other disposition of Be's property and assets and the implementation
of this Plan.

   10. In  connection  with and for the  purpose of  implementing  and  assuring
completion  of this Plan,  Be may, in the  absolute  discretion  of the Board of
Directors, pay Be's officers, directors,  employees, agents and representatives,
or any of them,  compensation  or  additional  compensation  above their regular
compensation,  in money or other property, as severance,  bonus, acceleration of
vesting of stock or stock  options,  or in any other form, in recognition of the
extraordinary  efforts they, or any of them,  will be required to undertake,  or
actually undertake, in connection with the implementation of this Plan. Approval
of the  dissolution  of Be pursuant to this Plan by holders of a majority of the
outstanding  Common Stock shall constitute the approval of Be's  stockholders of
the payment of any such compensation.

   11. Be shall continue to indemnify its officers, directors, employees, agents
and  representatives  in accordance  with its certificate of  incorporation,  as
amended, and by-laws and any contractual arrangements,  for the actions taken in
connection  with  this  Plan  and the  winding-up  of the  affairs  of Be.  Be's
obligation to indemnify  such persons may also be satisfied out of the assets of
any  Trust.  The  Board  of  Directors  and  the  Trustees,  in  their  absolute
discretion,  are authorized to obtain and maintain insurance as may be necessary
or  appropriate  to  cover  Be's  obligation  hereunder,  including  seeking  an
extension in time and coverage of Be's insurance policies currently in effect.

   12. Notwithstanding  approval of or consent to this Plan and the transactions
contemplated  hereby by Be's  stockholders,  the Board of Directors  may modify,
amend or abandon  this Plan and the  transactions  contemplated  hereby  without
further  action by the  stockholders  to the extent  permitted  by the  Delaware
General Corporation Law.

                                      3


   13. The Board of Directors of Be is hereby authorized, without further action
by Be's stockholders,  to do and perform or cause the officers of Be, subject to
approval of the Board of Directors,  to do and perform, any and all acts, and to
make,   execute,   deliver  or  adopt  any  and  all  agreements,   resolutions,
conveyances,  certificates  and other  documents  of every kind which are deemed
necessary,  appropriate or desirable, in the absolute discretion of the Board of
Directors,  to  implement  this Plan and the  transaction  contemplated  hereby,
including,  without limiting the foregoing,  all filings or acts required by any
state or federal law or regulation to wind-up its affairs.
