(a) Inventions Retained and Licensed. I have attached hereto, as Exhibit A, a list describing with particularity all
inventions, original works of authorship, developments, improvements, and 
  

 Page 6 








 
trade secrets which were made by me prior to the commencement of the Relationship (collectively referred to as “Prior Inventions”), which belong solely to me or belong to me
jointly with another, which relate in any way to any of the Company’s proposed businesses, products or research and development, and which are not assigned to the Company hereunder; or, if no such list is attached, I represent that there are no
such Prior Inventions, If, in the course of my Relationship with the Company, I incorporate into a Company product, process or machine a Prior Invention owned by me or in which I have an interest, the Company is hereby granted and shall have a
non-exclusive, royalty-free, irrevocable, perpetual, worldwide license (with the right to sublicense) to make, have made, copy, modify, make derivative works of, use, sell and otherwise distribute such Prior Invention as part of or in connection
with such product, process or machine. 
 (b) Assignment of Inventions. I agree that I will promptly make full
written disclosure to the Company, will hold in trust for the sole right and benefit of the Company, and hereby assign to the Company, or its designee, all my right, title and interest throughout the world in and to any and all inventions, original
works of authorship, developments, concepts, know-how, improvements or trade secrets, whether or not patentable or registrable under copyright or similar laws, which I may solely or jointly conceive or develop or reduce to practice, or cause to be
conceived or developed or reduced to practice, during the period of time in which I am employed by the Company and which relate to the proposed businesses, products, or research and development of the Company (collectively referred to as
“Inventions”), except as provided in Section 4(e) below. I further acknowledge that all Inventions, original works of authorship, developments, concepts, know-how, improvements or trade secrets which are made by me (solely or
jointly with others) within the scope of and during the period of my Relationship with the Company are “works made for hire” (to the greatest extent permitted by applicable law) and are compensated by my salary unless regulated
otherwise by the mandatory law of the state of California, USA. 
 (c) Maintenance of Records. I agree to keep and
maintain adequate and current written records of all Inventions made by me (solely or jointly with others) during the term of my Relationship with the Company. The records may be in the form of notes, sketches, drawings, flow charts, electronic data
or recordings, laboratory notebooks, and any other format. The records will be available to and remain the sole property of the Company at all times. I agree not to remove such records from the Company’s place of business except as expressly
permitted by Company policy which may, from time to time, be revised at the sole election of the Company for the purpose of furthering the Company’s business. 

(d) Patent and Copyright Rights. I agree to assist the Company, or its designee, at the Company’s expense, in every
proper way to secure the Company’s rights in the Inventions and any copyrights, patents, trademarks, mask work rights, moral rights, or other intellectual property rights relating thereto in any and all countries, including the disclosure to
the Company of all pertinent information and data with respect thereto, the execution of all applications, specifications, oaths, assignments, recordations, and all other instruments which the Company shall deem necessary in order to apply for,
obtain, maintain and transfer such rights and in order to assign and convey to the Company, its successors, assigns and nominees the sole and exclusive rights, title and interest in and to such inventions, and any copyrights, patents, mask work
rights or other intellectual property rights relating thereto. I further agree that my obligation to execute or cause to be executed, when it is in my power to do so, any such instrument or papers shall continue after the termination of this
Agreement until the expiration of the last such intellectual property right to expire in any country of the world. If the Company is unable because of my mental or physical incapacity or unavailability or for any other reason to secure my signature
to apply for or to pursue any application for any United States or foreign patents or copyright registrations covering Inventions or original works of authorship assigned to the Company as above, then I hereby irrevocably designate and appoint the
Company and its duly authorized officers and agents as my agent and attorney in fact, to act for and in my behalf and stead to execute and file any such applications and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the application for,
prosecution, issuance, maintenance or transfer of letters patent or copyright registrations thereon with the same legal force and effect as if originally executed by me. I hereby waive and irrevocably quitclaim to the Company any and all claims, of
any nature whatsoever, which I now or hereafter have for infringement of any and all proprietary rights assigned to the Company. 
  

 Page 7 








 (e) Exception to Assignments. I understand that the provisions of this
Agreement requiring assignment of Inventions to the Company do not apply to any invention which qualifies fully under certain provisions of California Labor Code which states: 

Section 2870: (a) Any provision in an employment agreement which provides that an employee shall assign, or
offer to assign, any of his or her rights in an invention to his or her employer shall not apply to an invention that the employee developed entirely on his or her own time without using the employer’s equipment, supplies, facilities, or trade
secret information except for those inventions that either: (1) Relate at the time of conception or reduction to practice of the invention to the employer’s business, or actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development of the
employer; or (2) Result from any work performed by the employee for the employer. 
 (b) To the
extent a provision in an employment agreement purports to require an employee to assign an invention otherwise excluded from being required to be assigned under subdivision (a), the provision is against the public policy of this state and is
unenforceable. 
 I will advise the Company promptly in writing of any inventions that I believe meet such provisions and are not otherwise
disclosed on Exhibit A. 
 4. Returning Company Documents. I agree that, at the time of termination of my
Relationship with the Company, I will deliver to the Company (and will not keep in my possession, recreate or deliver to anyone else) any and all devices, records, data, notes, reports, proposals, lists, correspondence, specifications, drawings,
blueprints, sketches, laboratory notebooks, materials, flow charts, equipment, other documents or property, or reproductions of any aforementioned items developed by me pursuant to the Relationship or otherwise belonging to the Company, its
successors or assigns. I further agree that to any property situated on the Company’s premises and owned by the Company, including disks and other storage media, filing cabinets or other work areas, is subject to inspection by Company personnel
at any time with or without notice. In the event of the termination of the Relationship, I agree to sign and deliver the “Termination Certification” attached hereto as Exhibit B. 

5. Notification to Other Parties. In the event that I leave the employ of the Company, I hereby consent to notification by
the Company to my new employer, and/or entity with whom I maintain a consulting relationship, including parties with whom such relationship commences after the effective date of this Agreement, about my rights and obligations under this Agreement.

 6. Solicitation of Employees, Consultants and Other Parties. I agree that during the term of my Relationship
with the Company, and for a period of twelve (12) months immediately following the termination of my Relationship with the Company for any reason, whether with or without cause, I shall not either directly or indirectly solicit, induce, recruit
or encourage any of the Company’s employees or consultants to terminate their relationship with the Company, or take away such employees or consultants, or attempt to solicit, induce, recruit, encourage or take away employees or consultants of
the Company, either for myself or for any other person or entity. Further, for a period of twelve (12) months following termination of my Relationship with the Company for any reason, with or without cause, I shall not use any Confidential
Information to solicit any licensor to or customer of the Company or licensee of the Company’s products, in each case, that are known to me, with respect to any business, products or services that are competitive to the products or services
offered by the Company or under development as of the date of termination of my Relationship with the Company.

proper oath or verify any proper document required to carry out the terms of this Agreement upon the Company’s written request to do so.

confidence proprietary information acquired by me in confidence or in trust prior to commencement of my Relationship with the Company. I have not entered into, and I agree I will not enter into, any oral or written agreement in conflict with any of

 Addendum C 

INSIDER TRADING COMPLIANCE PROGRAM 

OPENWAVE SYSTEMS INC. 

In order to take an active role in the prevention of insider trading violations by its officers, directors (as used herein, meaning
“Members of the Board of Directors”), employees, employees of its subsidiaries, and other related individuals, Openwave Systems Inc. (including its subsidiaries, “Openwave”) has adopted the policies and procedures described in
this Memorandum. 
  

	I.	Adoption of Insider Trading Policy. 


Openwave has adopted the Insider Trading Policy attached to this Memorandum as Attachment A (the “Policy”), which
prohibits trading based on material, non-public information regarding Openwave (“Inside Information”). The Policy covers officers, directors and all other employees of, or consultants or contractors to, Openwave or its subsidiaries,
as well as family members of such persons, and others, in each case where such persons have or may have access to Inside Information. The Policy is to be delivered to all new employees and consultants upon the commencement of their relationships
with Openwave, and is to be circulated to all personnel at least annually. As a condition of employment with Openwave, all employees must sign an acknowledgment of receipt of the policy attached hereto as Attachment B. 

 

	II.	Designation of Certain Persons. 


A. Section 16 Individuals. Openwave has determined that those persons listed on Attachment C attached to this
Memorandum are the directors and officers who are subject to the reporting and liability provisions of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”) and the rules and regulations promulgated
thereunder (“Section 16 Individuals”). Attachment C will be amended from time to time as appropriate to reflect the election of new officers or directors, any change in function of current officers and the resignation or
departure of current officers or directors. Openwave’s Chief Financial Officer, General Counsel and Associate General Counsel designated to administer the Insider Trading Compliance Program are each individually empowered to amend Attachment
C to so reflect such changes. 
 B. Other Persons. Openwave has determined that all employees of Openwave who
are vice president level or above, together with the Section 16 Individuals, should be subject to the pre-clearance requirement described in Section IV.A. below, in that Openwave believes that, in the normal course of their duties, such persons
have, or are likely to have, regular access to Inside Information. Individuals subject to pre-clearance requirements may be amended from time to time and Openwave’s Chief Financial Officer, General Counsel and designated Associate General
Counsel are each individually empowered to amend this list to reflect appropriate changes based upon the hiring of new employees, the termination of employment of listed employees, and changes in the functions of existing employees. Under special
circumstances, other persons may come to have access to Inside Information for a period of time. During such period, such persons should also be subject to the pre-clearance procedure described in Section IV.A. below. 

 

	III.	Appointment of Compliance Officer. 


Openwave has appointed its Chief Financial Officer (or such officer’s designee) as Openwave’s Insider Trading Compliance Officer
(the “Compliance Officer”). 
  

 Page 12 









	IV.	Duties of Compliance Officer. 


The duties of the Compliance Officer shall include, but not be limited to, the following: 

A. Pre-clearing all transactions involving Openwave’s securities by those individuals listed on Attachment C and all
employees vice president level and above, in order to determine compliance with the Policy, insider trading laws, Section 16 of the Exchange Act and Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. 

B. Assisting in the preparation and filing of Section 16 reports (Forms 3, 4 and 5) for all Section 16 Individuals.

 INSIDER TRADING COMPLIANCE PROGRAM 

OPENWAVE SYSTEMS INC. 

In order to take an active role in the prevention of insider trading violations by its officers, directors (as used herein, meaning
“Members of the Board of Directors”), employees, employees of its subsidiaries, and other related individuals, Openwave Systems Inc. (including its subsidiaries, “Openwave”) has adopted the policies and procedures described in
this Memorandum. 
  

	I.	Adoption of Insider Trading Policy. 


Openwave has adopted the Insider Trading Policy attached to this Memorandum as Attachment A (the “Policy”), which
prohibits trading based on material, non-public information regarding Openwave (“Inside Information”). The Policy covers officers, directors and all other employees of, or consultants or contractors to, Openwave or its subsidiaries,
as well as family members of such persons, and others, in each case where such persons have or may have access to Inside Information. The Policy is to be delivered to all new employees and consultants upon the commencement of their relationships
with Openwave, and is to be circulated to all personnel at least annually. As a condition of employment with Openwave, all employees must sign an acknowledgment of receipt of the policy attached hereto as Attachment B. 

 

	II.	Designation of Certain Persons. 


A. Section 16 Individuals. Openwave has determined that those persons listed on Attachment C attached to this
Memorandum are the directors and officers who are subject to the reporting and liability provisions of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”) and the rules and regulations promulgated
thereunder (“Section 16 Individuals”). Attachment C will be amended from time to time as appropriate to reflect the election of new officers or directors, any change in function of current officers and the resignation or
departure of current officers or directors. Openwave’s Chief Financial Officer, General Counsel and Associate General Counsel designated to administer the Insider Trading Compliance Program are each individually empowered to amend Attachment
C to so reflect such changes. 
 B. Other Persons. Openwave has determined that all employees of Openwave who
are vice president level or above, together with the Section 16 Individuals, should be subject to the pre-clearance requirement described in Section IV.A. below, in that Openwave believes that, in the normal course of their duties, such persons
have, or are likely to have, regular access to Inside Information. Individuals subject to pre-clearance requirements may be amended from time to time and Openwave’s Chief Financial Officer, General Counsel and designated Associate General
Counsel are each individually empowered to amend this list to reflect appropriate changes based upon the hiring of new employees, the termination of employment of listed employees, and changes in the functions of existing employees. Under special
circumstances, other persons may come to have access to Inside Information for a period of time. During such period, such persons should also be subject to the pre-clearance procedure described in Section IV.A. below. 

 

	III.	Appointment of Compliance Officer. 


Openwave has appointed its Chief Financial Officer (or such officer’s designee) as Openwave’s Insider Trading Compliance Officer
(the “Compliance Officer”). 
  

	IV.	Duties of Compliance Officer. 


The duties of the Compliance Officer shall include, but not be limited to, the following: 

A. Pre-clearing all transactions involving Openwave’s securities by those individuals listed on Attachment C and all
employees vice president level and above, in order to determine compliance with the Policy, insider trading laws, Section 16 of the Exchange Act and Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

access to Inside Information.

Section 16 Individuals, on an annual basis, and providing the Policy and other appropriate materials to new officers, directors and others who have, or may have, access to Inside Information, and obtaining a signed acknowledgment of receipt of

 ATTACHMENT A 

OPENWAVE SYSTEMS INC. 

INSIDER TRADING POLICY 

and Guidelines with Respect to 

Certain Transactions in Openwave’s Securities 

This Policy provides guidelines to employees, consultants, contractors, officers and directors of Openwave Systems Inc. and its
subsidiaries (including its subsidiaries, “Openwave”) with respect to transactions in Openwave’s securities. 

Applicability of Policy 

This Policy applies to all transactions in Openwave’s securities, including common stock, options for common stock and any other
securities Openwave may issue from time to time, such as preferred stock, warrants and convertible debentures, as well as to derivative securities relating to Openwave’s stock, whether or not issued by Openwave, such as exchange-traded options.
It applies to all officers of Openwave, all members of its Board of Directors, and all employees of, and consultants and contractors to, Openwave, if any, who receive or have access to Material Nonpublic Information (as defined below) regarding
Openwave. This group of people, members of their immediate families, and members of their households are sometimes referred to in this Policy as “Insiders.” This Policy also applies to any person who receives Material Nonpublic
Information from any Insider. 
 Any person who possesses Material Nonpublic Information regarding Openwave is an Insider for so
long as the information is not publicly known. Any employee can be an Insider from time to time, and would at those times be subject to this Policy. 

Statement of Policy 

General Policy 

It is the policy of Openwave to oppose the unauthorized disclosure of any nonpublic information acquired in the work-place and the misuse
of Material Nonpublic Information in securities trading. 
 Definition of Material Nonpublic Information 

It is not possible to define all categories of material information. However, information should be regarded as material if there is a
reasonable likelihood that it would be considered important to an investor in making an investment decision regarding the purchase or sale of Openwave’s securities. 

While it may be difficult under this standard to determine whether particular information is material, there are various categories of
information that are particularly sensitive and, as a general rule, should always be considered material. Examples of such information may include: 
  

	 	•	 	 Financial results 


  

	 	•	 	 Projections of future earnings or losses 


  

	 	•	 	 News of a pending or proposed merger 


  

	 	•	 	 News of the disposition of a subsidiary 


  

	 	•	 	 Impending bankruptcy or financial liquidity problems 


  


	 	•	 	 Gain or loss of a substantial customer or supplier 


  

	 	•	 	 Changes in dividend policy 


  

	 	•	 	 New product announcements of a significant nature 


  

	 	•	 	 Significant product defects or modifications 


  

	 	•	 	 Significant pricing changes 


  

 Page 16 









	 	•	 	 Stock splits 


  

	 	•	 	 New equity or debt offerings 


  

	 	•	 	 Acquisitions 


  

	 	•	 	 Significant litigation exposure due to actual or threatened litigation 



 

	 	•	 	 Major changes in senior management 



Either positive or negative information may be material. 

Nonpublic information is information that has not been previously disclosed to the general public and is otherwise not available to the
general public. 
 Specific Policies 

1. Trading on Material Nonpublic Information. No director, officer or employee of, or consultant or contractor to, Openwave,
and no member of the immediate family or household of any such person, shall engage in any transaction involving a purchase or sale of Openwave's securities, including any offer to purchase or offer to sell, during any period commencing with the
date that he or she possesses Material Nonpublic Information concerning Openwave, and ending at the close of business on the second Trading Day following the date of public disclosure of that information, or at such time as such nonpublic
information is no longer material. As used in this Policy, the term “Trading Day” shall mean a day on which national stock exchanges and the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. Automated Quotation System (NASDAQ) are
open for trading. 
 2. Tipping. No Insider shall disclose Material Nonpublic Information (commonly referred to as
“tipping”) to any other person (including family members) where such information may be used by such person to his or her profit by trading in the securities of companies to which such information relates, nor shall such insider or related
person make recommendations or express opinions on the basis of Material Nonpublic Information as to trading in Openwave’s securities. 

3. Confidentiality of Nonpublic Information. Nonpublic information relating to Openwave is the property of Openwave and the
unauthorized disclosure of such information is forbidden. 
 4. Shorting. Openwave does not believe it is
appropriate for the members of its Board of Directors, officers, employees, consultants or contractors, or members of their immediate family, to financially speculate on a decline in Openwave’s stock price or to profit from such a decline.
Therefore, no directors, officer or employee of, or consultant or contractor to, Openwave, and no member of the immediate family or household of any such person, may ever make a short sale of Openwave’s stock, or an equivalent transaction, such
as, without limitation, selling put options, or buying or selling any options, futures, or derivatives that would increase in value upon a decline in Openwave’s stock price regardless of the purpose of such transaction (example, for hedging,
tax planning, etc.). 
 5. Trading Window. The period beginning on the first day of the last month of each fiscal
quarter and ending two Trading Days following the date of public disclosure of the financial results for that quarter is a particularly sensitive period of time for transactions in Openwave’s stock from the perspective of compliance with
applicable securities laws. This sensitivity is due to the fact that officers, directors and certain other employees will, during that period, often possess Material Nonpublic Information about the expected financial results for the quarter.
Accordingly, to ensure compliance with this Policy and applicable federal and state securities laws, Openwave requires that (a) all directors, officers, employees, consultants, and contractors refrain from conducting transactions involving the
purchase or sale of Openwave’s securities commencing at the commencement of business five Trading Days preceding the announced date for public disclosure of the financial results for a particular fiscal quarter or year and continuing until the
close of business on the second Trading Day following the actual date of public disclosure of such financial results (the “company-wide trading blackout period”); and (b)the directors, officers and employees and others described or named
on “Attachment D” refrain from conducting transactions involving the purchase or sale of Openwave’s securities other than during the period (the “trading window”) commencing at the close of business on the
second Trading Day following the date of public disclosure of the financial results for a particular fiscal quarter or year and continuing until the close of business on the last day of the second month of the next fiscal quarter. The safest period
for trading in Openwave’s securities, assuming the absence of Material Nonpublic Information, is probably the first ten days of the trading window. 
  

 Page 17 








 From time to time, Openwave may also recommend that directors, officers, selected employees
and others suspend trading because of developments known to Openwave and not yet disclosed to the public. In such event, such persons are advised not to engage in any transaction involving the purchase or sale of Openwave’s securities during
such period and should not disclose to others the fact of such suspension of trading. 
 It should be noted, however, that even
during the trading window, any person possessing Material Nonpublic Information concerning Openwave should not engage in any transactions in Openwave’s securities until such information has been known publicly for at least two Trading Days,
whether or not Openwave has recommended a suspension of trading to that person. Trading in Openwave’s securities during the trading window should not be considered a “safe harbor,” and all members of its Board of Directors, officers
and other persons should use good judgment at all times. 
 6. Preclearance of Trades. Openwave has determined
that all members of the Board of Directors, executive officers, and vice presidents, of Openwave must refrain from trading in Openwave’s securities, even during the trading window, without first complying with Openwave’s
“pre-clearance” process. Each of such officers and members of the Board of Directors is required to contact Openwave’s Compliance Officer or such officer’s designee prior to commencing any trade in Openwave’s securities.
Openwave may find it necessary, from time to time, to require compliance with the pre-clearance process from certain employees, consultants and contractors other than and in addition to officers and members of the Board of Directors. 

7. Individual Responsibility. Every member of Openwave’s Board of Directors, officer, employee, consultant, and
contractor: (a) has the individual responsibility to comply with this Policy against insider trading, regardless of whether Openwave has recommended a trading window to that Insider or any other Insiders of Openwave; and (b) is required to
comply with the restrictions of this Insider Trading Policy, and in addition, exercise appropriate judgment in connection with any trade in Openwave’s securities, regardless of whether such trade is specifically prohibited by this policy.

 An Insider may, from time to time, have to forego a proposed transaction in Openwave’s securities even if he or she
planned to make the transaction before learning of the Material Nonpublic Information and even though the Insider believes he or she may suffer an economic loss or forego anticipated profit by waiting. 

 

 Page 18 








 Potential Criminal and Civil Liability and/or Disciplinary Action 

1. Liability for Insider Trading. Insiders may be subject to penalties of up to $1,000,000 and up to ten years in jail for
engaging in transactions in Openwave’s securities at a time when they have knowledge of nonpublic information regarding Openwave. 

2. Liability for Tipping. Insiders may also be liable for improper transactions by any person (commonly referred to as a
“tippee”) to whom they have disclosed nonpublic information regarding Openwave or to whom they have made recommendations or expressed opinions on the basis of such information as to trading in Openwave’s securities. The
Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) has imposed large penalties even when the disclosing person did not profit from the trading. The SEC, the stock exchanges and the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. use
sophisticated electronic surveillance techniques to uncover insider trading. 
 3. Possible Disciplinary Actions.
Employees of Openwave who violate this Policy, or any aspect of it, shall also be subject to disciplinary action by Openwave, which may include ineligibility for future participation in Openwave’s equity incentive plans or termination of
employment. 
 Applicability of Policy to Inside Information Regarding Other Companies 

This Policy and the guidelines described in this Policy also apply to Material Nonpublic Information relating to other companies,
including Openwave’s customers, vendors or suppliers (“Business Partners”), when that information is obtained in the course of employment with, or other services performed on behalf of, Openwave. Civil and criminal penalties,
and termination of employment, may result from trading on inside information regarding Openwave's Business Partners. All employees should treat Material Nonpublic Information about Openwave’s Business Partners with the same care required with
respect to information related directly to Openwave. 
 Certain Exceptions 

For purposes of this Policy, Openwave considers that the exercise of stock options under Openwave’s stock option plans (including, if
done in accordance with the terms of such plans, exercise for cash or exercise by surrendering shares) or the purchase of shares under Openwave’s employee stock purchase plan (but not the sale of any such shares) is exempt from this
Policy, since the other party to the transaction is Openwave itself and the price does not vary with the market but is fixed by the terms of the option agreement or the plan. 

Additional Information - Directors and Officers 

Members of the Board of Directors and executive officers of Openwave must also comply with the reporting obligations and limitations on
short-swing transactions set forth in Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The practical effect of these provisions is that officers and directors who purchase and sell any of Openwave’s securities within a
six-month period must disgorge all profits to Openwave whether or not they had knowledge of any Material Nonpublic Information. Under these provisions, and so long as certain other criteria are met, neither the receipt of an option under
Openwave’s option plans, nor the exercise of that option, nor the receipt of stock under Openwave’s employee stock purchase plan is deemed a purchase under Section 16; however, the sale of any such shares is a sale under
Section 16. Moreover, no officer or director may ever make a short sale of Openwave’s stock, or an equivalent transaction, such as selling put options. Openwave has provided, or will provide, separate memoranda and other
appropriate materials to its officers and directors regarding compliance with Section 16 and its related rules. 
 Inquiries 

 Please direct your questions as to any of the matters discussed in this Policy to the designee of Openwave’s Compliance
Officer, Elizabeth Rushforth at 650 480 4755.

 Addendum D 

CODE OF BUSINESS CONDUCT AND ETHICS 

ADOPTED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS 

ON APRIL 15, 2004 

Introduction 
 This Code
of Business Conduct (the “Code”) covers a wide range of business practices and procedures. It does not cover every issue that may arise, but it sets out basic principles to guide all Openwave employees, officers and directors. All of our
employees, officer and directors are required to conduct themselves accordingly and seek to avoid even the appearance of improper behavior. The Code should also be provided to and followed by the Company’s agents and representatives, including
consultants and contingent workers. 
 Integrity is the cornerstone that underlies all aspects of this code and Openwave’s
core values. At a high level, you should be honest and forthright in your dealings with our customers, partners, employees, shareholders, and the communities in which we conduct business. The following provisions of the Code all flow from the
following principles: 
  

	 	•	 	 Obey all laws and regulations governing our business conduct. 



 

	 	•	 	 Be honest and fair in all Openwave activities and relationships. 



 

	 	•	 	 Avoid conflicts of interest between work and personal affairs. 



 

	 	•	 	 Create an environment of fair employment practices for all employees. 



 

	 	•	 	 Through leadership, maintain a culture that values ethical conduct, honesty and integrity. 



If a law conflicts with a policy in this Code, you must comply with the law. If you have any questions about these conflicts, you should
ask your manager how to handle the situation. 
 Any person that violates the standards in this Code will be subject to
disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment. If you are in a situation that you believe may result in or lead to a violation of this Code, follow the guidelines described in Section 15 of this Code.

  

 Page 24 









	1.	General Compliance Guidelines 


We must all work to ensure prompt and consistent action against violations of this Code. However, in some situations it is difficult to
know if a violation has occurred. Since we cannot anticipate every situation that will arise, it is important that we have a way to approach a new question or problem. These are the steps to keep in mind: 

 

	 	•	 	 Make sure you have all the facts possible. In order to reach the right solutions, we must be as fully informed as possible.



  

	 	•	 	 Ask yourself: What specifically am I being asked to do? Does it seem unethical or improper? This will enable you to focus on the specific
question you are faced with, and the alternatives you have. Use your judgment and common sense; if something seems unethical or improper, follow up on it. 



 

	 	•	 	 Clarify your responsibility and role. In most situations, there is shared responsibility. Are your colleagues informed? It may help to get
others involved and discuss the problem. 


  

	 	•	 	 Discuss the problem with your manager. This is the basic guidance for all situations. In many cases, your manager will be more knowledgeable
about the question, and will appreciate being brought into the decision-making process. Remember that it is your manager’s responsibility to help solve problems. 



 

	 	•	 	 Seek help from Company resources. In the event you do not feel comfortable approaching your manager with your question, discuss it locally with
your Human Resources business partner or Human Resources representative. 


  

	 	•	 	 You may report ethical violations in confidence and without fear of retaliation. If you find yourself in a situation that requires that your
identity be kept confidential, your anonymity will be protected to the extent possible. The Company does not permit retaliation of any kind against employees for good faith reports of ethical violations. 



 

	 	•	 	 Always ask first, act later: If you are unsure of what to do in any situation, seek guidance before you act.



  

	2.	Compliance with Laws, Rules and Regulations 


Obeying the law, both in letter and in spirit, is the foundation on which the Company’s ethical standards are built. All employees
must respect and obey the laws of the cities, states and countries in which we operate. Although not all employees are expected to know the details of these laws, it is important to know enough to determine when to seek advice from your manager or
other appropriate personnel. 
 If you have questions regarding compliance with laws, rules and regulations, including
insider-trading laws, you may request more information from your manager or the legal department 
  

	3.	Conflicts of Interest 

 A
“conflict of interest” exists when a person’s private interest interferes in any way with the interests of the Company. A conflict situation can arise when an employee, officer or director takes actions or has interests that may make
it difficult to perform his or her Company work objectively and effectively. Conflicts of interest may also arise when an employee, officer or director, or members of his or her family, receives improper personal benefits as a result of his or her
position in the Company. 
 The mere existence of a relationship with outside firms is not automatically prohibited. However, if
employees have any influence on transactions involving purchases, contracts, or leases, it is imperative that they disclose to an officer of the Company as soon as possible the existence of any actual or potential conflict of interest so that
safeguards can be established to protect all parties. Conflicts of 
  

 Page 25 








 
interest may not always be clear-cut, so if you have a question, you should consult with higher levels of management or the Company’s legal department. The Company has adopted a specific
policy on Conflicts of Interest that has been made available to every employee. Any employee, officer or director who becomes aware of a conflict or potential conflict should bring it to the attention of a manager or other appropriate personnel.

  

	4.	Insider Trading 


Employees, officer, directors, consultants or contractors and their family members who have access to material confidential information
regarding the Company or any actual or prospective customer or partner are not permitted to use or share that information for stock trading purposes or for any other purpose except the conduct of our business. All non-public information about the
Company should be considered confidential information. To use non-public information regarding the Company or any other company for personal financial benefit or to “tip” others who might make an investment decision on the basis of this
information is unethical and illegal. To assist with compliance of insider trading laws, the Company has adopted a specific policy that has been distributed to every employee. If you have any questions, please consult the Company’s legal
department. 
  

	5.	Openwave Opportunities May Not Be Used For Personal Gain 


Employees, officers and directors are prohibited from participating personally in opportunities that are discovered through the use of
corporate property, information or position without the consent of the Board of Directors, even if Openwave declines the opportunity. No employee or member of the board of directors may use corporate property, information, or position for improper
personal gain, and no employee or director may compete with the Company directly or indirectly. Employees, officers and directors owe a duty to the Company to advance its legitimate interests when the opportunity to do so arises. 

 

	6.	Competition and Fair Dealing 


We seek to outperform our competition fairly and honestly. Stealing proprietary information, possessing trade secret information that was
obtained without the owner’s consent, or inducing such disclosures by past or present employees of other companies is prohibited. Each employee should endeavor to respect the rights of and deal fairly with the Company’s customers,
suppliers, competitors and employees. No employee should take unfair advantage of anyone through manipulation, concealment, abuse of privileged information, misrepresentation of material facts, or any other intentional unfair-dealing practice.

  

	7.	Gifts 

 The purpose of
business entertainment and gifts in a commercial setting is to create good will and sound working relationships, not to gain unfair advantage with customers. No gift or entertainment should be given or accepted by any Company employee, family member
of an employee or agent unless it: (1) is not a cash gift, (2) is consistent with customary business practices, (3) is not excessive in value, (4) cannot be construed as a bribe or payoff and (5) does not violate any laws or
regulations. Please discuss any gifts or proposed gifts that you believe may not be appropriate with your manager or the Company’s legal department. 
  

	8.	Discrimination and Harassment 


The diversity of the Company’s employees is a tremendous asset. We are firmly committed to providing equal opportunity in all aspects
of employment and have adopted a specific policy to assist in that goal. We will not tolerate any unlawful discrimination or harassment based on sex, age, race, religion, color, national origin or ancestry, disability, marital status or any other
legally protected characteristic. Examples of improper conduct include derogatory comments based on racial or ethnic characteristics and unwelcome sexual advances. The Company has adopted a specific policy prohibiting unlawful harassment and
discrimination that has been made available to every employee. 
  

 Page 26 









	9.	Health and Safety 

 The
Company strives to provide each employee with a safe and healthy work environment. Each employee has responsibility for maintaining a safe and healthy workplace for all employees by following safety and health rules and practices and reporting
accidents, injuries and unsafe equipment, practices or conditions. Violence and threatening behavior are not permitted. Employees should report to work in condition to perform their duties, free from the influence of illegal drugs or alcohol. The
use of illegal drugs in the workplace will not be tolerated. 
  

	10.	Record-Keeping 


Accurate and Complete Records. 

The Company requires honest and accurate recording and reporting of information in order to make responsible business decisions.

 Many employees regularly use business expense accounts, which must be documented and recorded accurately. If you are not sure
whether a certain expense is legitimate, ask your manager or the Company’s Controller or Chief Accounting Officer. 
 All of
the Company’s books, records, accounts and financial statements must be maintained in reasonable detail, must appropriately reflect the Company’s transactions and must conform both to applicable legal requirements and to the Company’s
system of internal controls. Unrecorded or “off the books” funds or assets should not be maintained unless permitted by applicable law or regulation. 

Record Retention. 

You should strive to retain or destroy records (emails, memorandum, letters, etc.) in accordance with the Company’s record retention
policies. In the event of litigation or governmental investigation, do not destroy records, and consult the Company’s legal department. The Company has adopted a specific Records Retention Policy that has been made available to every employee.

 Business Communications. 

Business records and communications may become public. We should avoid exaggeration, derogatory remarks, guesswork, or inappropriate
characterizations of people and companies that can be misunderstood. This applies equally to e-mail, internal memos, and formal reports. 
  

	11.	Confidentiality 

 Every
employee and consultant should have executed a confidentiality agreement when he or she began his or her employment with the Company. In addition, the Company has adopted a specific Non-Disclosure of Confidential Information Policy that has been
made available to every employee. Employees should strive to maintain the confidentiality of confidential information entrusted to them by the Company or its customers, except when disclosure is authorized by the Company’s legal department.
Confidential information includes all non-public information that might be of use to competitors, or harmful to the Company or its customers, if disclosed. It also includes information that suppliers and customers have entrusted to us. The
obligation to preserve confidential information continues even after employment ends. 
  

	12.	Protection and Proper Use of Company Assets 


All employees should endeavor to protect the Company’s assets and ensure their efficient use. Theft, carelessness, and waste have a
direct impact on the Company’s profitability. Any suspected incident of fraud or theft should be immediately reported for investigation. Company equipment should not be used for non-Company business, though incidental personal use may be
permitted. 
 The obligation of employees to protect the Company’s assets includes protection of the Company’s
proprietary information. Proprietary information includes intellectual property such as trade secrets, patents, trademarks, and copyrights, as well as business, marketing and service plans,

engineering and manufacturing ideas, designs, databases, records, salary information and any unpublished financial data and reports. Unauthorized use or distribution of this information would
violate Company policy. It could also be illegal and result in civil or even criminal penalties. 
  

	13.	Payments to Government Personnel 


The U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act prohibits giving anything of value, directly or indirectly, to officials of foreign governments or
foreign political candidates in order to obtain or retain business. It is strictly prohibited to make illegal payments to government officials of any country. 

In addition, the U.S. government has a number of laws and regulations describing business gratuities that may be accepted by U.S.
government personnel. The promise, offer or delivery to an official or employee of the U.S. government of a gift, favor or other gratuity in violation of these rules would not only violate Company policy but could also be a criminal offense. State
and local governments, as well as foreign governments, may have similar rules. Upon your request, the Company’s legal department can provide guidance to you in this area. 

 

	14.	Waivers of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics 


Any waiver of this Code for executive officers or directors may be made only by the Board or a Board committee and will be promptly
publicly disclosed as required by law or stock exchange regulation. 
  

	15.	Reporting any Illegal or Unethical Behavior 


Employees are encouraged to talk to their manager or other appropriate personnel about observed illegal or unethical behavior and when in
doubt about the best course of action in a particular situation. It is the policy of the Company not to allow retaliation for reports of misconduct by others made in good faith by employees. Employees are expected to cooperate in internal
investigations of misconduct. 
 Employees must read the Company’s Employee Complaint Procedures for Accounting and
Auditing Matters, which describes the Company’s procedures for the receipt, retention, and treatment of complaints received by the Company regarding accounting, internal accounting controls, or auditing matters. Any employee may submit a
good faith concern regarding questionable accounting or auditing matters without fear of dismissal or retaliation of any kind.

after the occurrence of any of the following events: (i) without the Employee’s express written consent, the significant reduction of the Employee’s duties, authority, responsibilities, job title, or reporting relationships relative
to the Employee’s duties, authority, responsibilities, job title, or reporting relationships as in effect immediately prior to such reduction, or the assignment to the Employee of such reduced duties, authority, responsibilities, job title, or
reporting relationships; (ii) without the Employee’s express written consent, a material reduction, without good business reasons, of the facilities and perquisites (including office space, secretarial support, other support staff, and
location) available to the Employee immediately prior to such reduction; (iii) without the Employee’s express written consent, a reduction by the Company of ten percent (10%) or more in the base salary of the Employee as in effect
immediately prior to such reduction (unless such reduction is part of a program generally applicable to other executives of the Company); (iv) a material reduction by the Company in the kind or level of employee benefits, including bonuses, to
which the Employee was entitled immediately prior to such reduction with the result that the Employee’s overall benefits package is significantly reduced (unless such reduction is part of a program generally applicable to other executives of
the Company); (v) the relocation of the Employee to a facility or a location more than twenty five (25) miles from the Employee’s then present location, without the Employee’s express written consent; (vi) the failure of the
Company to obtain the assumption of this Agreement by any successors to the Company; or (vii) any act or set of facts or circumstances which would, under California case law or statute, constitute a constructive termination of the Employee.
Provided, however, that in each case, the Employee’s resignation shall not be an Involuntary Termination under this provision unless (X) the Employee provides the Company’s General Counsel with written notice of the applicable event
or circumstance within 30 days after the Employee first has knowledge of it, which notice specifically identifies the event or circumstance that the Employee believes constitutes grounds for an Involuntary Termination, and (Y) the Company fails
to correct the event or circumstance so identified within 30 days after receipt of such notice 
 For purposes of this Agreement, a termination
“for Cause” occurs if the Employee is terminated for any of the following reasons: (i) theft, dishonesty, misconduct, or falsification of any employment or Employer records; (ii) improper disclosure of the Employer’s
confidential or proprietary information: (iii) any action by the Employee which as a material detrimental effect on the Employer’s reputation or business as reasonably determined by the Company; (iv) the Employee’s failure or
inability to perform any reasonably assigned duties; (v) the Employee’s violation of any Company policy; (vi) the Employee’s conviction (including any plea of guilty or no contest) for any criminal act that impairs his ability to
perform his duties under this Agreement; or (vii) the Employee’s breach of any agreement with the Employer, including this Agreement.

 OPENWAVE SYSTEMS INC. 

CHANGE OF CONTROL SEVERANCE AGREEMENT 

This Change of Control Severance Agreement (the “Agreement”) is made and entered into by and between Bruce Posey (the
“Employee”) and Openwave Systems Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), effective as of January 30, 2009 (the “Effective Date”). 

RECITALS 
 A. It
is expected that the Company from time to time will consider the possibility of an acquisition by another company or other change of control. The Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) recognizes that such consideration can be a
distraction to the Employee and can cause the Employee to consider alternative employment opportunities. The Board has determined that it is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to ensure that the Company will have the continued
dedication and objectivity of the Employee, notwithstanding the possibility, threat or occurrence of a Change of Control (as defined below) of the Company. 

B. The Board believes that it is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to provide the Employee with an incentive to
continue his or her employment and to motivate the Employee to maximize the value of the Company upon a Change of Control for the benefit of its shareholders. 

C. The Board believes that it is imperative to provide the Employee with certain benefits upon the Employee’s termination of
employment following a Change of Control that provide the Employee with enhanced financial security and incentive and encouragement to the Employee to remain with the Company notwithstanding the possibility of a Change of Control. 

D. The Board has approved this Agreement and wishes to replace any existing individual agreements or arrangements with the Employee
entered into prior to the Effective Date and that relate to severance payments or vesting acceleration with respect to options, restricted stock or other compensatory stock-based awards upon a change of control of the ownership of the Company, with
this Agreement which is now the Company’s standard form of agreement with its officers with respect to this subject matter. 

E. The benefits which are provided by virtue of this Agreement are in consideration of the Employee’s future execution of an
agreement to certain terms, including a release of all claims against the Company and related parties that releases the Company and such parties from any claims whatsoever arising from or related to the Employee’s employment relationship with
the Company substantially in the form attached hereto Exhibit A of this Agreement (the “Separation and Mutual Release Agreement). 







 F. Certain capitalized terms used in the Agreement are defined in Section 6 below.

 The parties hereto agree as follows: 

1. TERM OF AGREEMENT. This Agreement became effective on the Effective Date and shall terminate only upon the date that all
obligations of the parties hereto with respect to this Agreement have been satisfied. Except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 3(a) below, this Agreement supersedes and replaces any individual agreements or arrangements, or any
relevant portions thereof, between the Company or any of its subsidiaries and the Employee entered into prior to the Effective Date that relate to (1) any severance payments or benefits, (2) any other payments or benefits, or (3) any
vesting acceleration, lapse of restrictions or other amendment with respect to options or restricted stock of the Company, in each case related to a change of control of the ownership of the Company (however defined in any such agreements or
arrangements). Any such individual agreements or arrangements, or any relevant portions thereof addressing this subject matter (whether in the form of offer letters, employment agreements, change of control agreements, severance agreements,
transition agreements, severance policies or plans, or otherwise) are hereby terminated and shall no longer have any force or effect. 

2. AT-WILL EMPLOYMENT. The Company and the Employee acknowledge that this Agreement does not change the “at-will” status
of Employee’s employment with the Company, as defined under applicable law. If the Employee’s employment terminates for any reason not in connection with a Change of Control, the Employee shall not be entitled to any benefits, damages,
awards or compensation under Section 3 of this Agreement but may be entitled to payments or benefits in accordance with the Company’s other established employee plans and practices or pursuant to other agreements with the Company.

 3. SEVERANCE AND OTHER BENEFITS. 

(a) Termination in Connection with a Change of Control. If the Employee’s employment terminates as a result of Involuntary
Termination at any time during the period commencing two (2) months prior to a Change of Control and ending eighteen (18) months following a Change of Control, then immediately after the later of (i) five (5) business days after
the Employee’s last date of employment with the Company and (ii) seven (7) calendar days after the execution and delivery of the Mutual Separation and Release Agreement, 100% of the unvested portion of any stock option, restricted
stock or any other compensatory stock award granted to the Employee by the Company and then held by the Employee (except for any stock option, restricted stock or other compensatory stock award which by the express terms of the grant or by express
designation by the Board are expressly excluded from the effect of this Agreement) shall automatically be accelerated in full so as to become immediately and completely vested and no longer subject to any contractual restrictions. 

 

 2 








 In addition to such vesting acceleration, on the date that such acceleration occurs, the
Employee shall receive the following payments and benefits; provided, however, that it is the intention of the parties that the payments described in Section 3(a)(i) shall be made not later than March 15 of the calendar year after the
Involuntary Termination occurs, and, if not made by such date, because of the Employee’s failure to deliver an effective release of claims to the Company on or before March 8, the Employee shall be subject to the six-month delay described
in Section 8(f) if applicable: 
 (i) A lump sum cash payment equal to the Employee’s then current annual base salary
and target annual bonus multiplied by the factor specified below (without taking into account any reduction in base salary which could trigger an Involuntary Termination), less applicable withholding taxes or other withholding obligations of the
Company. The factor to be applied to the lump sum payment above shall be two (2) if the Employee is the Chief Executive Officer, one and one-half (1.5) if the Employee is the General Counsel or a member of E-Staff, and one (1) in all
other cases; in each case measured as of the date of the event constituting or giving rise to the occurrence of an Involuntary Termination. For example, if the Employee is a member of E-Staff, then the lump sum cash payment shall be equal to one and
one-half times the amount equal to the Employee’s annual base salary plus target annual bonus. 
 (ii) At the
Company’s expense, the Company will continue to provide Employee, and eligible dependents or other qualified beneficiaries of Employee, with medical, dental and vision insurance benefit coverage in coordination with the provisions of the
Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 (“COBRA”) eighteen (18) months if the Employee is the Chief Executive Officer, the General Counsel or a member of E-Staff, and twelve (12) months in all other cases,
provided that the Employee completes and timely files all necessary COBRA election documentation which will be sent to Employee after the last day of employment. After the periods specified in this Section 3(a)(ii), if Employee wishes
to continue such COBRA coverage, Employee will be required to pay all requisite premiums for such continued coverage. 
 (b)
Voluntary Resignation; Termination For Cause. If the Employee’s employment terminates by reason of the Employee’s voluntary resignation (which is not an Involuntary Termination) or if the Employee is terminated for Cause, then the
Employee shall not be entitled to receive any benefits under this Agreement, but may be entitled to benefits and other rights (if any) as may then be established under the terms of the Company’s other then-existing severance and benefits plans
and programs or pursuant to other agreements with the Company. 
 (c) Disability; Death. If the Company terminates the
Employee’s employment as a result of the Employee’s Disability, or such Employee’s employment is terminated due to the death of the Employee, then the Employee shall not be entitled to receive any benefits under this Agreement, but
may be entitled to benefits and other rights (if any) as may then be established under the Company’s other then-existing severance and benefits plans and programs or pursuant to other agreements with the Company. 

 

 3 








 (d) Termination Not in Connection With a Change of Control. In the event the
Employee’s employment terminates not in connection with a Change of Control, for any reason or no reason, whether on account of Disability, death, or otherwise, either prior to the period commencing two (2) months before the occurrence of
a Change of Control or after the eighteen (18) month period following a Change of Control, then the Employee shall not be entitled to receive severance and any other benefits under this Agreement, but only as may then be established under the
Company’s other then-existing severance and benefits plans and programs or pursuant to other agreements with the Company. 

(e) Mitigation. The Employee shall not be required to mitigate damages or the amount of any payment or benefit provided under this
Agreement by seeking other employment or otherwise, nor shall the amount of any payment provided for under this Agreement be reduced by any compensation earned by the Employee as a result of employment by another employer or by any retirement
benefits received by the Employee after the date of the termination of employment, or otherwise. 
 4.
ATTORNEY FEES, COSTS AND EXPENSES. The Company shall promptly reimburse the Employee, on a monthly basis, for one-half ( 1/
2) of the reasonable attorney fees, costs and expenses (collectively “Fees”) incurred by the Employee in connection with any action brought by the
Employee to enforce his or her rights hereunder. In the event the Employee is the prevailing party, the Company shall reimburse the Employee for any Fees incurred by the Employee not previously reimbursed by the Company. However, if the Employee is
not the prevailing party, the Employee shall immediately repay to the Company all previously paid reimbursements. The prevailing party shall be determined based upon the applicable court’s or arbitrator’s determination of which party
prevailed on the major contested issues, with reference to the amount awarded or agreed to and without regard to whether or not the action resulted in a final judgment or was settled. 

5. TAX MATTERS. In the event that any severance and other payments and benefits provided for in this Agreement or otherwise
payable to the Employee (i) constitute “parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and (ii) become subject to the excise tax imposed by
Section 4999 of the Code (or any corresponding provisions of state tax law), then the Employee’s benefits under Section 3 shall still be delivered in full). Notwithstanding the foregoing, any payment pursuant to this Section 5
shall not be subject to the six-month delay described in Section 8(f), and, in no case shall such payment be made later than the end of the calendar year after the year in which the Employee remits federal or state taxes. 

6. DEFINITION OF TERMS. The following terms used in this Agreement shall have the following meanings: 

(a) Cause. “Cause” shall mean (i) gross negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of the Employee’s
duties to the Company; (ii) repeated

Company in the future; 
 (ii) A merger or consolidation involving the Company in which the voting securities of the Company
owned by the shareholders of the Company immediately prior to such merger or consolidation do not represent, after conversion if applicable, more than fifty percent (50%) of the total voting power of the surviving controlling entity outstanding
immediately after such merger or consolidation; provided that any person who (1) was a beneficial owner (within the meaning of Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of the voting securities of the Company immediately prior
to such merger or consolidation, and (2) is a beneficial owner (or is part of a group of related persons that is a beneficial owner) of more than 20% of the securities of the Company immediately after such merger or consolidation, shall be

 5 








 
written notice by the Company of its intention to terminate the Employee’s employment. In the event that the Employee resumes the performance of substantially all of his or her duties
hereunder before the termination of his or her employment becomes effective, the notice of intent to terminate shall automatically be deemed to have been revoked.

 RELEASE OF CLAIMS 

1. In exchange for the severance payment and other benefits described in Section 3 of my Change of Control Severance Agreement with
Openwave Systems Inc. (the “Company”), I and my successors and assigns release the Company and its successors and assigns, and each of their respective parents, divisions, subsidiaries, and affiliated entities, and each of those
entities’ respective current and former shareholders, investors, directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys, insurers, legal successors and assigns, from any and all claims, actions and causes of action, whether now known or unknown,

and the Company, if any, and it will not apply to any claims that arise after the date on which I sign this Release of Claims.

A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of
executing the release, which if known by him or her must have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor. 
 I hereby waive any
rights that I have under section 1542 of the Civil Code of the State of California (or any similar provision of the laws of any other jurisdiction) to the fullest extent that I may lawfully waive such rights pertaining to this Release of Claims, and
I affirm that it is my intention to release all known and unknown claims that I have against the parties released in Paragraph 1 above.
