 (a) Meru, its Affiliates,
and its and their past and present directors, officers, agents, employees, and attorneys, and any permitted assigns, successors or predecessors in interest thereto, from any and all actions of any kind and nature, at law, in equity, or otherwise,
known and unknown, suspected and unsuspected, disclosed and undisclosed to the extent they arise from or are based upon the business activities prior to the Effective Date of Meru and its Affiliates; and 

(b) Meru, its Affiliates, and its and their respective employees, officers, and directors, and its and their respective Protected Parties from any and
all actions for infringement or alleged infringement of any of Motorola’s Patents that arise from or are based upon: 

(1) the exploitation prior to the Effective Date of Meru’s Covered Products by Meru or its Affiliates, or 

(2) the use, import, offer for sale, lease and/or sale prior to the Effective Date by such Protected Parties of Meru’s Covered
Products and solely such combinations thereof as are authorized under Section 3.4 (but not any other products, services, software, systems and/or combinations of the Protected Parties). 
 2.2 Effective as of the Effective Date, Meru, as releasor, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, and, to the extent permitted by law, its and their past and present directors, officers, agents,

 3 








 (b) Motorola, its Affiliates, and its and their respective employees, officers, and directors, and its and

EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.” 
 The foregoing parties,
with the advice of their counsel, waive any rights or benefits that they, or any of them, might otherwise have under Civil Code Section 1542 and any other statute, legal doctrine or principle of similar effect in California, or any other state,
federal or foreign jurisdiction, to the full extent that such rights and benefits may be waived.

original design manufacturer (ODM); and 
 (c) shall not apply to any products in the form manufactured or marketed by said other manufacturer

 3.4 (a) Except as expressly provided herein, no license, covenant or immunity is granted under this Agreement by a Party, either
directly or by implication, estoppel or otherwise to any Protected Parties or other third parties for the combination of Meru’s Covered Products or Motorola’s Licensed Products with other items or for the use of such combination, except
that the Parties hereby agree that: 
 (i) the covenants, licenses and immunities granted hereunder extend to the Parties
and the Protected Parties for such combinations where there is no substantial non-infringing use of such Covered Product or Licensed Products in the case of Motorola other than in such combinations and its only reasonable and intended use is to
practice such claimed invention (but for the avoidance of doubt, to no other combinations other than the combinations authorized under this Section and to no other products, services, software, and/or systems of the Protected Parties); 

  
 5 








 (ii) To the extent the doctrine of patent exhaustion would apply to a first sale or
other disposal made under the covenants, licenses, and immunities granted hereunder, the parties agree that such doctrine shall apply regardless of whether the first sale or other disposal is in the U.S. or anywhere else in the world. 

(b) For the avoidance of doubt, neither Party grants the Protected Parties of the other Party any authority to use any products,
services, software, systems and/or combinations of the Protected Parties other than (i) such other Party’s Covered Products or Licensed Products in the case of Motorola or (ii) the combinations authorized under Section 3.4(a).

 (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, neither Party grants to the other Party any licenses,
covenants, releases, immunities or other rights with respect to the sale or other disposal to, or the use by, any of the parties with whom such Party is adverse in a pending patent infringement action or proceeding before a court of competent
jurisdiction (as identified in writing by each Party to the other Party immediately prior to the Effective Date) of any client software of the other Party. 
 Section 4. Covenant Not To Assert 
 4.1 During the first 3 years of the
Term (the “Limited Term”), and effective as of the Effective Date, Motorola hereby covenants not to assert a claim against Meru alleging infringement of Motorola Patents based on or arising out of (a) the exploitation by Meru
of Meru Covered Products and/or (b) the use, import, offer for sale, lease and/or sale by Meru of Meru Covered Products and solely such combinations as are authorized under Section 3.4 (but not any other products, services, software,

effective as of the Effective Date, Meru hereby covenants not to assert a claim against Motorola alleging infringement of Meru Patents based on or arising out of (a) the exploitation by Motorola of Motorola Licensed Products and/or (b) the
use, import, offer for sale, lease and/or sale by Motorola of Motorola Licensed Products and solely such combinations as are authorized under Section 3.4 (but not any other products, services, software, systems and/or combinations of the
Protected Parties). 
 4.3 Each Party agrees that no damages or liabilities shall accrue against the other Party for any Patent
infringement within the scope of the covenants set forth in Sections 4.1 and 4.2 until 3 years from the Effective Date, at which time such damages or liabilities shall begin to accrue in the event of an assertion brought after the expiration of
such covenants. 
 4.4 Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the releases, licenses, dismissals, and covenants granted by each Party
shall run with such Party’s Patents and remain in full force and effect regardless of any subsequent assignment, exclusive license, sale, gift or other transfer of any of such Patents or any rights or interests therein. Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, any such assignment, exclusive license, sale, gift or other transfer of rights in or to such Patents by each Party shall be made subject to this Agreement, and any such assignment, exclusive license, sale, gift or other
transfer of rights in or to such Patents by such Party in contravention of this Section shall be null and void and of no force or effect to the extent of such contravention.

violation of the releases granted in Section 2 or the licenses granted in Section 3, the non-asserting Party shall be entitled to have such claims dismissed with prejudice and recover from the asserting Party its reasonable attorneys’
fees and reasonable associated costs and expenses incurred in defending against the assertion. In the event the non-asserting Party claims such a violation, and such asserting Party’s infringement assertion is not found to be in violation, such
asserting Party shall be entitled to recover from the non-asserting Party its reasonable attorneys’ fees and reasonable associated costs and expenses incurred in defending against the claim of a violation.

 Section 8. Dispute Resolution  
 8.1 During the Term of this Agreement, all
disputes arising out of or relating to (i) the interpretation or performance of this Agreement or (ii) any patent licenses, covenants or other rights subject to this Agreement shall first be discussed by the employees of each Party
responsible for administration of this Agreement in an attempt to find a mutually acceptable resolution through friendly consultations. If such dispute is not resolved within thirty (30) days after the commencement of such consultation (or any
extension mutually agreed to by the Parties), either Party may escalate the discussions to executives who have authority to settle the dispute and are at a higher level of management than the persons with direct responsibility for administration of
this Agreement, by written notice to the other Party within 15 days after the end of the thirty (30) day initial consultation period. 

8.2 In the event that executive-level discussions do not result in resolution of the dispute within forty five (45) days after the written notice by
either Party demanding executive-level discussions, either Party may bring an action as provided in section 9.14 below for final and binding interpretation or enforcement of this Agreement. All negotiations pursuant to this clause are confidential
and shall be treated as compromise and settlement negotiations for purposes of applicable rules of evidence (e.g., F.R.E. 408). 

Section 9. Miscellaneous  

9.1 Neither Party shall assign any of its rights or delegate any of its obligations under this Agreement. Any attempt to do so, by operation of law or
otherwise, shall be void; provided, however, that each Party hereto shall have the right to assign this Agreement in connection with (i) a reorganization to its legal successor(s), provided that after the reorganization, the successor(s) and
its Affiliates will have essentially the same assets as such Party had prior to the reorganization; or (ii) the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of its business or assets, whether by sale, merger, operation of law, or otherwise in
connection with a change of control (“Change of Control”). This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their permitted (in accordance with the foregoing) successors and assignees, provided that such
successor or assignee, as the case may be, executes an agreement to be bound by all the obligations of such Party under this Agreement and a copy of such agreement is provided to the other Party hereto. 

  
 8 








 In the case of Change of Control, the following restrictions automatically apply: 

 

	 	(a)	the Party that has been acquired (“Acquired Party”) shall promptly give notice of such acquisition to the other Party; 


 

	 	(b)	the licenses granted to the Acquired Party under the other Party’s Patents licensed under this Agreement, and the releases, covenants and other rights made for the
benefit of the Acquired Party, shall not extend to any pre-existing products, services, software, methods, processes, apparatuses, systems, specifications, documentation, and/or any other technology of the applicable third party acquirer (the
“Third Party Acquirer”) and any extensions, modifications, enhancements and revisions thereof and/or new products, technologies, services products, services, software, methods, processes, apparatuses, systems, specifications,
documentation, and/or any other technology of the Third Party Acquirer developed after the consummation of such Change of Control other than any of the foregoing developed or created solely by the Acquired Party or using solely its businesses or
assets; and 

  

	 	(c)	the license and covenant granted under this Agreement shall apply only up to an annual sales dollar volume same to the annual sales dollar volume of the Acquired
Party’s Licensed Products in the twelve (12) month period prior to the Change of Control, increased in each subsequent twelve (12) month period by the greater of: A. 15% per year, or B. the percentage growth rate for such
Acquired Party’s Licensed Products in the twelve (12) month period prior to the Change of Control. 

 Notwithstanding
anything else to the contrary in this Agreement, as this Agreement may be for the benefit of multiple businesses of Motorola, in the event Motorola separates one or more of its businesses (each a “Separated Business”), whether by
way of a sale, establishment of a joint venture, spin-off or otherwise (each a “Separation Event”), Motorola may, without the prior written consent of the other party and at no additional cost to Motorola, split this Agreement by
assigning certain of its rights or obligations such that it will continue to benefit both Motorola and the Separated Business and their respective Affiliates following the Separation Event. The benefit of this Section for the Separated Business
shall apply only up to an annual sales dollar volume same to the annual sales dollar volume of the Separated Business products in the twelve (12) month period prior to the Separation Event, increased in each subsequent twelve (12) month
period by the greater of: A. 15% per year, or B. the percentage growth rate for such Separated Business products in the twelve (12) month period prior to the Separation Event. 
 In no event shall the Separation Event result in Meru’s being required to increase its obligations under, scope of license or payments owed as a result of this Agreement, or decrease or diminish the
rights enjoyed by Meru pursuant to this Agreement, and in no event shall a Separated Business enjoy any of the rights of Motorola under this Agreement without also accepting the associated Motorola obligations and limitations hereunder. Further,
promptly after a Separation Event, the Separated Business will execute in writing an agreement to be bound by all the obligations of Motorola under this Agreement with respect to such rights and obligations assigned to such Separated Business in
such Separation Event, and a copy of such agreement will be provided to Meru. 
 9.2 Each Party represents and warrants that it has the full
right and power to enter into and perform this Agreement, including granting the releases and licenses set forth in Sections 2 and 3, respectively, and to make the covenants set forth in Section 4, and that the entrance into and
performance of this Agreement does not and will not conflict with or violate any other agreement or 

  
 9 








 
license of, or rights granted by, such Party. Neither Party makes any other representation or warranty, express or implied, nor shall either Party have any liability in respect of any
infringement of patents or other rights of third parties due to the other Party’s operation under the licenses herein granted. 
 9.3 The
Parties expressly agree and acknowledge that by entering into this Agreement no Party (nor any Protected Party) admits any liability, wrongdoing or the truth of any allegation contained in any claim, defense or counterclaim. Neither this Agreement
nor any provision in this Agreement may be construed or used as an admission of any wrongdoing, liability, or violation of law whatsoever, and nothing in this Agreement is an admission by any Party or any of its Protected Parties that any patents or
patent applications of the other Party are infringed, valid or enforceable. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as conferring any rights by implication, estoppel or otherwise, under any non-patent intellectual property right,
under any design patent or trademark, trade name or brand, or, other than as expressly set forth in this Agreement, under any patents or patent applications. Neither Party is required hereunder to furnish or disclose to the other any technical or
other information except as specifically provided herein. 
 9.4 Neither Party shall have any obligation hereunder to institute any action or
suit against third parties for infringement of any of its patents or to defend any action or suit brought by a third party which challenges or concerns the validity of any of its patents. Neither Party shall have any right to institute any action or
suit against third parties for infringement of the other Party’s patents. Neither Party is required to file any patent application, or to secure any patent or patent rights, or to maintain any patent in force. 

9.5 No express or implied waiver by either of the Parties to this Agreement of any breach of any term, condition or obligation of this Agreement by the
other Party shall be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach of that term, condition or obligation or of any other term, condition or obligation of this Agreement of the same or of a different nature. 

9.6 This Agreement is the result of negotiation between the Parties and, accordingly, shall not be construed for or against either Party regardless of
which Party drafted this Agreement or any portion thereof. 
 9.7 IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY OR TO ANY OTHER
PERSON OR ENTITY BY REASON OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY BREACH OR TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT (UNDER ANY CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHER THEORY) FOR ANY LOSS OF PROSPECTIVE PROFITS OR ANY INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES
ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS AGREEMETN, EVEN IF THE PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES OR LOSSES. 
 9.8 With respect to matters of contract construction and interpretation, the substantive law of the state of New York, United States of America shall apply to this Agreement, without regard to conflicts
of laws principles. However, with respect to matters of infringement and validity of intellectual property rights, the substantive law of the nation having jurisdiction over such property or over matters affecting such intellectual property rights
shall be applied. 

  
 10 









 9.9 This Agreement shall not be binding upon the Parties until it has been signed below by or on behalf of
each Party. No amendment or modification of this Agreement shall be valid or binding upon the Parties unless made in writing and signed by each Party, except that either Party may amend its address or addressee in Section 7.1 by written notice
to the other Party. 
 9.10 If any term, clause or provision of this Agreement is found by competent authority to be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable in any respect for any reason, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith a valid, legal and enforceable substitute provision that most nearly reflects the original intent of the Parties, and the remainder of this Agreement shall
continue in effect. 
 9.11 The headings of sections are inserted for convenience of reference only and are not intended to be a part of or to
affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. 
 9.12 The Parties agree that all provisions, terms, and conditions of this Agreement
are and will remain confidential, and they shall not disclose such terms under any circumstances to any person not a Party hereto, except: (i) with the prior written consent of the other Party; (ii) to the extent such disclosure may be
required by applicable law or securities regulation; (iii) as may be required to a Party’s auditors, insurers, bankers, legal counsel and other legal and financial advisors but only under confidentiality obligations at least as protective
as those of this Agreement; and (iv) to a third party in connection with a potential merger or acquisition by, of or with the Party, or any other potential change of control of a Party but only under confidentiality obligations at least as
protective as those of this Agreement. 
 9.13 This Agreement sets forth the entire understanding and agreement between the Parties as to the
subject matter hereof and merges and supersedes all previous communications, negotiations, warranties, representations and agreements between the Parties, either oral or written, with respect to the subject matter thereof, and no addition to or
modification of the Agreement shall be binding on either Party unless reduced to writing and signed by duly authorized representatives on behalf of each of the Parties. 
 9.14 All disputes, differences or questions between the Parties relating to the construction or interpretation of this Agreement shall be finally settled by the U.S. Federal Court for the Southern
District of New York and applicable appellate courts, which shall have exclusive jurisdiction and whose determinations shall be final and binding on the Parties. In the event there is no subject matter jurisdiction in such Federal Court, the New
York Supreme Court, New York County and applicable appellate courts shall have exclusive jurisdiction. The Parties waive any objection to personal jurisdiction in such courts and waive any argument that such venues are inconvenient. 

9.15 This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which is deemed an original, but all of which together constitute one and the
same instrument. A facsimile or copy of a signature is valid as an original. 
 9.16 The Parties shall issue a joint press release mutually
approved by both Parties. The Parties shall make no public statements inconsistent with the joint press release.
