I was asking about the part I bolded, where Microsoft said it would join a patent pool if Google formed one. That's independent from the indemnification part, as I read it.

No, they are also requiring that Google include "all other major providers of playback software and devices", meaning Apple, Motorola, Sony and who knows who else. They seem to be saying that they'd be the very last to join such a pool.
