+“Confidential Information”) constitute the confidential and proprietary
+information of Broadcom, and that Licensee’s protection thereof is an essential

+retain all Confidential Information in strict confidence and not disclose it to
+any third party or use it in any way except under a written agreement with
+terms and conditions at least as protective as the terms of this Section.
+Licensee will exercise at least the same amount of diligence in preserving the
+secrecy of the Confidential Information as it uses in preserving the secrecy of
+its own most valuable confidential information, but in no event less than
+reasonable diligence. Information shall not be considered Confidential
+Information if and to the extent that it: (i) was in the public domain at the
+time it was disclosed or has entered the public domain through no fault of
+Licensee; (ii) was known to Licensee, without restriction, at the time of
+disclosure as proven by the files of Licensee in existence at the time of
+disclosure; or (iii) becomes known to Licensee, without restriction, from a
+source other than Broadcom without breach of this Agreement by Licensee and
+otherwise not in violation of Broadcom’s rights.
+
+5.2. Return of Confidential Information. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all
+documents and other tangible objects containing or representing Broadcom
+Confidential Information and all copies thereof which are in the possession of
+Licensee shall be and remain the property of Broadcom, and shall be promptly

+ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, WHETHER FOR BREACH OF CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING
+NEGLIGENCE) OR OTHERWISE, ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING BUT NOT
+LIMITED TO LOSS OF PROFITS, EVEN IF SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
+POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. IN NO EVENT WILL BROADCOM’S LIABILITY WHETHER IN
+CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), OR OTHERWISE, EXCEED THE AMOUNT PAID BY
+LICENSEE FOR SOFTWARE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT. THESE LIMITATIONS SHALL APPLY
+NOTWITHSTANDING ANY FAILURE OF ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF ANY LIMITED REMEDY.
+
+7. MISCELLANEOUS
+
+7.1. Export Regulations. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT THE SOFTWARE IS
+SUBJECT TO UNITED STATES AND OTHER APPLICABLE EXPORT-RELATED LAWS AND
+REGULATIONS AND THAT YOU MAY NOT EXPORT, RE-EXPORT OR TRANSFER THE SOFTWARE OR
+ANY DIRECT PRODUCT OF THE SOFTWARE EXCEPT AS PERMITTED UNDER THOSE LAWS.
+WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, EXPORT, RE-EXPORT OR TRANSFER OF THE SOFTWARE
+TO CUBA, IRAN, NORTH KOREA, SUDAN AND SYRIA IS PROHIBITED.
+
+7.2 Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the
+benefit of the parties and their respective successors and assigns, provided,
+however that Licensee may not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligation
+hereunder, directly or indirectly, by operation of law or otherwise, without
+the prior written consent of Broadcom, and any such attempted assignment shall
+be void. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Licensee may assign this Agreement to
+a successor to all or substantially all of its business or assets to which this
+Agreement relates that is not a competitor of Broadcom.
+
+7.3. Governing Law; Venue. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of
+California without regard to any conflict-of-laws rules, and the United Nations
+Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is hereby excluded.
+The sole jurisdiction and venue for actions related to the subject matter
+hereof shall be the state and federal courts located in the County of Orange,
+California, and both parties hereby consent to such jurisdiction and venue.
+
+7.4. Severability. All terms and provisions of this Agreement shall, if
+possible, be construed in a manner which makes them valid, but in the event any
+term or provision of this Agreement is found by a court of competent
+jurisdiction to be illegal or unenforceable, the validity or enforceability of
+the remainder of this Agreement shall not be affected if the illegal or
+unenforceable provision does not materially affect the intent of this
+Agreement. If the illegal or unenforceable provision materially affects the
+intent of the parties to this Agreement, this Agreement shall become
+terminated.
+
+7.5. Equitable Relief. Licensee hereby acknowledges that its breach of this
+Agreement would cause irreparable harm and significant injury to Broadcom that
+may be difficult to ascertain and that a remedy at law would be inadequate.
+Accordingly, Licensee agrees that Broadcom shall have the right to seek and
+obtain immediate injunctive relief to enforce obligations under the Agreement
+in addition to any other rights and remedies it may have.
+
+7.6. Waiver. The waiver of, or failure to enforce, any breach or default
+hereunder shall not constitute the waiver of any other or subsequent breach or
+default.
+
+7.7. Entire Agreement. This Agreement sets forth the entire Agreement
+between the parties and supersedes any and all prior proposals, agreements and
+representations between them, whether written or oral concerning the Software.
+This Agreement may be changed only by mutual agreement of the parties in
+writing.
