Furthermore, in the event that Handspring or the Authorized Manufacturing
Partner cancels any or all of the Purchase Orders for Products, Wavecom shall
use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate Handspring's or its Authorized
Manufacturing Partner's damages by attempting to resell any common parts or
finished units of the Products to other Wavecom U.S. customers or, outside its
current market to European customers, as applicable.

        2.6 Submission of Purchase Orders. Handspring or the Authorized
Manufacturing Partner shall submit Purchase Orders to Wavecom in accordance with
Section 2.1 above. Purchase Orders will be submitted to Wavecom by telephone
facsimile transmission, registered airmail, or any other method as the Parties
may agree. All such Purchase Orders shall refer to this Agreement by its number
and contain the following information:

               (a)    The quantity of the Product to be purchased;

               (b)    The purchase price, as set forth in Exhibit A;

               (c)    The delivery date, which shall be no earlier than 12 weeks
                      after Wavecom's receipt of the Purchase Order from
                      Handspring or its Authorized Manufacturing Partner unless
                      otherwise mutually agreed; and

               (d)    Shipping instructions.

        2.7 Purchase Order Acceptance. Wavecom shall either accept or reject
Purchase Orders within five (5) working days after receipt of the Purchase
Order. No Purchase Order shall be deemed accepted without Wavecom's written
acceptance, which acceptance shall specify the delivery date of the Products. No
total or partial cancellation of a Purchase Order already accepted by Wavecom
shall be valid without Wavecom's written acceptance. Wavecom shall not withhold
acceptance of increases or decreases to production schedules that are within the
flexibility requirements of this Agreement as defined in Section 2.3.

        2.8 Shipment and Delivery. Unless the Parties otherwise agree, Wavecom
will ship the Products in high quality commercial packaging sufficient to
protect the Products during shipping and normal handling. Wavecom will ship all
Products to either Handspring or the Authorized Manufacturing Partner for
delivery on the date set forth in an accepted Purchase Order. Unless otherwise
instructed by Handspring or the Authorized Manufacturing Partner, Wavecom shall
ship to the location provided in Handspring's or the Authorized Manufacturing
Partner's Purchase Order, Ex Works France, via carrier(s) and freight
forwarder(s) of Handspring's choosing, and Wavecom shall insure the Products
against normal transportation risks. The cost of shipment and insurance, costs
of customs, duties and other taxes shall be added to the purchase price paid by
Handspring or the Authorized Manufacturing Partner. Time is of the essence.
Failure to meet agreed upon delivery schedules could result in costly delays to
Handspring in fulfilling its customer orders; therefore, Wavecom shall notify
Handspring



                                       4
<PAGE>

or the Authorized Manufacturing Partner of any delay as soon as Wavecom is aware
of same and shall use its best efforts to minimize such delay by working
reasonable overtime at its own expense and shall notify Handspring another
estimated delivery date which shall be no later than ten (10) working days after
the initial scheduled delivery date. If Wavecom fails to meet Handspring's or
the Authorized Manufacturing Partner's the second delivery date on all or any
part of any Purchase Order, then Handspring or the Authorized Manufacturing
Partner may terminate the applicable Purchase Order with no liability to
Handspring or the Authorized Manufacturing Partner, or require Wavecom to ship
on an expedited basis the quantity of Products via premium air transportation
and Handspring's or the Authorized Manufacturing Partner's sole liability to
Wavecom shall be limited to payment for the Products received and standard
surface freight charges.

3.      CHANGE TO THE PRODUCTS; DISCONTINUANCE OF PRODUCTS

        3.1    Change to Products.

               (a) Wavecom may make changes in specification, construction,
design, brand designation, labeling and packaging of the Product at any time.
Wavecom will use best efforts to give Handspring as much advanced notice as
possible for any changes made to the Product. With advance notice of each
change, Wavecom will provide a detailed description of the change and
information on the potential impact to Handspring's application.

               (b) If the change to the Product affects the form, fit, function
or interface compatibility (electrical, mechanical, logical, etc) with
Handspring's applications and products, Wavecom shall, at Handspring's request,
maintain the prior version of the Product and make it available for sale to
Handspring or its Authorized Manufacturing Partner for a period of six (6)
months beginning on the date the new change(s) is/are implemented into the
Products.

        3.2 Discontinuance of Products. In the event Wavecom unilaterally
desires to discontinue the manufacture and sale of Products to Handspring,
Wavecom shall use best efforts to give Handspring as much advanced notice as
possible, which Wavecom anticipates should be at least twelve (12) months prior
to discontinuing sales of Products under this Agreement. Handspring may issue a
firm and non cancelable Purchase Order for Products at least three (3) months
prior to the effective date of Product discontinuation.

4.      WAVECOM'S AND HANDSPRING'S DUTIES

        4.1 Quarterly Business Reviews. Wavecom and Handspring agree to hold
quarterly business reviews at times and places mutually agreed upon for the
purpose of reviewing past performance and for mutually improving future
performance and communications. Each party shall be responsible for its own
costs in attending these meetings and will assure that these meetings are

<PAGE>

        4.2 Request for Back Order Listings. Upon request by Handspring or the
Authorized Manufacturing Partner, Wavecom shall furnish Handspring or the
Authorized Manufacturing Partner a listing of all back orders and the date they
will be received by Handspring or the Authorized Manufacturing Partner and will
automatically expedite all Handspring high usage Products to minimize delays of
such Products in fulfilling Handspring or the Authorized Manufacturing Partner
Purchase Orders.

        4.3 Development and Type Approval Services. Any application product
developed by Handspring that incorporates the Product requires the GSM Full Type
Approval (FTA) certification by a European GSM Authority. Wavecom shall be
responsible for obtaining FTA certification for Products, and Handspring shall
be responsible for any FTA fees charged by the Authority. Wavecom shall be
responsible for providing application product FTA support as required.

        4.4 Notice of Change of Manufacturing Location. Wavecom shall provide
Handspring a minimum of three (3) months notice prior to changing the
manufacturing location for Products, to enable Handspring sufficient time to
qualify Products manufactured at that new location.

5.      TERM OF AGREEMENT

        The initial term of this Agreement shall be twenty-four (24) months,
beginning from the Effective Date set forth above. This Agreement shall be
automatically renewed for separate but successive one-year terms unless
terminated by either Party by providing written notice of termination at least
one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the end of the current term or as
provided herein under Sections 16.1 and 16.2 below. The terms and conditions of
this Agreement shall continue to apply to any Purchase Order issued hereunder
until final delivery is made, even if such delivery is made after the term of
this Agreement expires. Termination or expiration of this Agreement shall not
affect Wavecom's obligation to provide Handspring with the notice and the last
time buy opportunity in accordance with Section 3.2 above.

6.      ACCEPTANCE TESTING

        Acceptance testing, when deemed applicable by Handspring, shall be
performed by Handspring or the Authorized Manufacturing Partner within thirty
(30) days after receipt of the Products in accordance with the procedures agreed
upon by the Parties. Any discrepancies found as a result of such testing shall
be noted in detail and if found to be non-conforming, Handspring or the
Authorized Manufacturing Partner may, at its option, return the defective
Products to Wavecom. Wavecom shall immediately review the cause of rejection and
upon confirmation take corrective action to eliminate reoccurrence of the
non-conformance. All shipping charges for returns of non-conforming Products to
Wavecom shall be at Wavecom's expense. If the Product is reasonably demonstrated
by Wavecom to be conforming, then Handspring will reimburse Wavecom for the
shipping charges. At Wavecom's option, taking into account Handspring's needs,
Wavecom shall either repair or replace any such non-conforming Products or
refund the purchase price in full. Failure to inspect or reject one shipment



                                       6
<PAGE>

shall not constitute a waiver of Handspring or the Authorized Manufacturing
Partner's rights with respect to any other. Payment shall neither be deemed to
constitute acceptance nor be a waiver of Handspring or the Authorized
Manufacturing Partner's right to reject any order.

7.      PRICE; COST REDUCTION

        7.1 Prices for the Products shall be as stated in Exhibit A. Product
prices stated in Exhibit A exclude freight, insurance and customs duties. [*]

        7.2 Both Parties acknowledge that it is their mutual goal to achieve a
reduction in the manufacturing cost of the Products, including the possibility
of obtaining alternate sources of materials, the negotiation of preferred terms
with components suppliers, and the improvement of internal assembly or test
methods. Wavecom shall evaluate in good faith any cost reduction proposals
reasonably suggested by Handspring. Wavecom shall evaluate the impact of such
changes on product quality, availability, time to implement, cost of
implementation, delivery schedule and other related factors. However, Wavecom
shall not be obligated to implement any cost saving proposals coming from
Handspring. Upon implementation of any cost reduction proposal, Wavecom agrees
to negotiate in good faith an appropriate and equitable adjustment to the per
unit price of the Product. The parties agree to meet every six months to discuss
cost reduction, or upon request of either party.

8.      PAYMENTS.

        8.1 Handspring or the Authorized Manufacturing Partner, as applicable,
shall pay invoices ("Invoices") received from Wavecom for Products sold
hereunder net thirty (30) days after the end of the month in which the Invoice
was submitted. Wavecom reserves the right to request from the Authorized
Manufacturing Partner a confirmed irrevocable letter of credit that shall be
accepted by Wavecom prior to shipment of the Products to the Authorized
Manufacturing Partner.

        8.2 Handspring guarantees the timely payment upon first written demand
of all undisputed amounts due and owing by the Authorized Manufacturing Partner
to Wavecom under this Agreement or any Purchase Order, including any interest
related to any payment delayed. In no event shall Handspring or the Authorized
Manufacturing Partner be permitted to offset any amounts owed to it by Wavecom
against any amount Handspring or the Authorized Manufacturing Partner owes to
Wavecom under this Agreement or any Purchase Order, or any other agreements. The
attempt by the Authorized Manufacturing Partner to offset any such amounts shall
not relieve Handspring of its guarantee to timely pay all undisputed amounts
owed to Wavecom by the Authorized Manufacturing Partner.

of every description furnished to Wavecom by Handspring or specifically paid for
by Handspring, and any replacements thereof or any materials affixed or attached
thereto, shall be and remain the personal property of Handspring. Wavecom shall
not use such property except in filling Handspring's orders. Such property while
in Wavecom's custody or control shall be held at Wavecom's risk, shall be
maintained in operable condition, kept insured by Wavecom at Wavecom's expense
in an amount equal to the replacement cost with loss payable to Handspring and
will be subject to removal at Handspring's written request.

10.     WARRANTIES; EPIDEMIC CONDITION

        10.1 Warranty. Wavecom warrants to Handspring, its Authorized
Manufacturing Partner and their customers that the Products supplied to
Handspring or the Authorized Manufacturing Partner under this Agreement shall be
free from defects in materials and workmanship, and shall otherwise conform to
the express requirements of this Agreement, for a period of [*] after the date
of shipment of the Product. If any Product furnished by Wavecom fails to conform
to the above warranty, at Handspring's option, taking into account Wavecom's
possibilities, Wavecom shall either replace any such defective Product or refund
the purchase price in full. All shipping charges for returns of defective
Products to Wavecom shall be at Wavecom's expense. If the Product is reasonably
demonstrated by Wavecom not to be defective, then Handspring will reimburse
Wavecom for the shipping charges. Within fifteen (15) working days after date of
receipt of such defective Product or such other reasonable delay agreed between
the Parties depending on the quantity of returned Products, Wavecom shall
replace the Product or refund Handspring the purchase price in full. This
limited warranty does not extend to (1) any Product that has been misused,
abused, neglected, or any negligence of Handspring, its Authorized Manufacturing
Partner or their customers, (2) any Product serviced by anyone other than an
authorized representative of Wavecom, Handspring or a party authorized by
Handspring, (3) any failure of the Product to conform to such warranties as a
result of improper maintenance, installation or service, operation or use
contrary to furnished instructions, (4) the improper transportation or improper
storage of any Product or (5) any damages due to Force Majeure.

        10.2 Epidemic Condition. An Epidemic Condition exists when failure
reports or statistical samplings show that five percent (5%) or more of the same
Product installed or shipped during any one month contain an identical,
repetitive defect in Wavecom supplied material and/or workmanship. If during
that warranty period Product shows

evidence of an Epidemic Condition, Handspring shall have the right, pending
correction of the Epidemic Condition, to postpone further shipments of such
Product by giving written notice of such postponement to Wavecom. Such
postponement shall temporarily relieve Wavecom of its shipment liability and
Handspring of any payment liability for such postponed shipments. Wavecom shall
promptly prepare and propose a corrective action plan addressing implementation
and procedure milestones for remedying such Epidemic Condition(s). Both parties
shall use best efforts to implement the remedy in accordance with the agreed
upon schedule.
