          This Amendment No. 6 supplements and amends Items 3, 4, 5 and 7 of the statement on Schedule 13D filed on November 5, 2007 (as amended, the “Schedule 13D”), as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed on December 23, 2008, Amendment No. 2 filed on January 12, 2009, Amendment No. 3 filed on March 10, 2009, Amendment No. 4 filed on March 17, 2009 (“Amendment No. 4”) and Amendment No. 5 filed on September 17, 2009 (“Amendment No. 5”). Each Item below amends and supplements the information disclosed under the corresponding Item of the Schedule 13D. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings attributed to them in the Schedule 13D.
Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration
          Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following new paragraph:
          The aggregate funds to be used by Elevation and Side Fund in connection with the purchase of the Common Stock in the September Public Offering (as defined in Item 4) is $34,999,997.50. These funds were provided from general funds available to the Reporting Persons, including capital contributions from their investors. The aggregate funds to be used by Mr. McNamee in connection with the purchase of the Common Stock in the September Public Offering is $2,000,001.25. The funds are personal funds available to the Reporting Person.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction
          Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by deleting the three paragraphs in Amendment No. 4 and replacing them with the following three paragraphs:
Registration Rights Agreement
          In connection with the Series C Closing, the Purchasers entered into an amendment and restatement of the Original Registration Rights Agreement with the Issuer, dated as of January 9, 2009 (the “Amended Registration Rights Agreement”), to reflect Purchasers’ acquisition of the Series C Preferred Stock and Warrants and the Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exercise thereof (as applicable) and to treat such Common Stock as registrable securities thereunder. On March 17, 2009, the Issuer entered into Amendment No. 1 to Amended Registration Rights Agreement (the “Amendment to Registration Rights Agreement”) with Elevation and Side Fund to treat Common Stock acquired by Elevation and Side Fund in the Public Offering as registrable securities under the Amended Registration Rights Agreement, and on September 22, 2009, the Issuer entered into Amendment No. 2 to Amended Registration Rights Agreement (the “Second Amendment to Registration Rights Agreement”) with Elevation and Side Fund to treat Common Stock acquired by Elevation and Side Fund in the September Public Offering as registrable securities under the Amended Registration Rights Agreement.
          Under the Amended Registration Rights Agreement, as amended, the Purchasers have certain demand registration rights, including pursuant to a shelf registration, and piggyback registration rights to cause the Issuer to register under the Securities Act the sale of Common Stock held by the Purchasers, including shares of Common Stock for which the shares of Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock are convertible and for which the Warrants are exercisable.

          The description of the terms and conditions of the Series B Purchase Agreement, Securities Purchase Agreement, Amended Series B Certificate of Designation, Series C Certificate of Designation, Warrants, Amended Stockholders Agreement, Amended Registration Rights Agreement, Amendment to Registration Rights Agreement and Second Amendment to Registration Right Agreement set forth herein does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Series B Purchase Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit 3, the Securities Purchase Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit 7, the Amended Series B Certificate of Designation attached hereto as Exhibit 8, the Series C Certificate of Designation attached hereto as Exhibit 9, the form of Warrant attached hereto as Exhibit 10, the Amended Stockholders Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit 11, the Amended Registration Rights Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit 12, the Amendment to Registration Rights Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit 16, and the Second Amendment to Registration Right Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit 21, each of which is incorporated by reference.
          Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby further amended and supplemented by deleting the last paragraph in Amendment No. 5 and replacing it with the following:
          On September 22, 2009, at the Issuer’s request, the underwriters to the September Public Offering notified Elevation and Side Fund that they were reserving an aggregate of 2,153,846 shares of Common Stock at the offering price for an aggregate of $35 million for Elevation and Side Fund, and notified Mr. McNamee that that they were reserving 123,077 shares of Common Stock at the offering price for an aggregate of $2 million for Mr. McNamee. Mr. Anderson decided not to purchase shares of Common Stock in the September Public Offering.
          Further, on September 22, 2009, Elevation and Side Fund delivered a waiver (the “September Waiver”) to Palm pursuant to which Elevation and Side Fund waived (i) their registration rights provided in Section 2.1 of the Registration Rights Agreement with respect to the September Public Offering and (ii) their rights provided in Amended Stockholders Agreement to purchase more than an aggregate of 2,153,846 shares of Common Stock in the September Public Offering.

Douglas C. Jeffries
Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer
Palm, Inc.

Sunnyvale, California 94085
Dear Mr. Jeffries:
          Reference is made to the Amended and Restated Stockholder’s Agreement between Palm, Inc. (“Palm”), Elevation Partners, L.P. (“Elevation Partners”) and Elevation Employee Side Fund, LLC (together with Elevation Partners, “Elevation”) dated as of January 9, 2009 (the “Stockholders’ Agreement”) and the Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement between Palm and Elevation dated as of January 9, 2009, as amended (the “Registration Rights Agreement”). Each capitalized term used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in the Registration Rights Agreement.
          Reference is also made to a notice dated September 8, 2009 which we received from Palm in connection with a contemplated underwritten public offering (the “Offering”) by the Company of its common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”), pursuant to an effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3ASR (file number 333-154941).
          Elevation, as Holders holding all the Registrable Securities, hereby waives:
  1.   any and all rights provided in Section 2.1 of the Registration Rights Agreement to the extent entitling Elevation to include Registrable Securities in the registration with respect to the Offering; and
 
  2.   any and all rights provided in Section 4.1 of the Stockholder’s Agreement to the extent entitling Elevation to purchase more than an aggregate of 2,153,846 shares of Common Stock in the Offering at the public offering price (with Elevation retaining the right to purchase in the Offering any lesser amount not exceeding such number).

 


 

          We are delivering this waiver to you in accordance with Section 3.6 of the Registration Rights Agreement and Section 5.7 of the Stockholder’s Agreement.
Very truly yours,
