Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

 

On June 1, 2005, AlphaSmart, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“AlphaSmart”), PalmSource, Inc. and PalmSource Overseas Limited (formerly Palm Platform Overseas Limited, the successor-in-interest to Palm Ireland Investment) entered into Amendment No. 4 to the Software License Agreement, dated as of June 29, 2001, as amended by Amendment No. 1 effective June 14, 2002, and further amended by Amendment No. 2 effective November 15, 2002, and further amended by Amendment No. 3 effective February 27, 2004 (the “License Agreement”). Amendment No. 4 extends the term of the License Agreement for an additional two years, such that the License Agreement will expire at midnight on December 31, 2010. In addition, Amendment No. 4 eliminates future minimum royalty contribution obligations in favor of AlphaSmart’s commitment to a non-refundable advance payment of royalties and further discontinues AlphaSmart’s entitlement to receive and obligation to pay for maintenance.
