          comply with any of the terms and conditions hereof. In such event, Licensee must
          destroy all copies of the Software and all of its component parts.

          of this Agreement.

    5.    CONFIDENTIALITY

    5.1.  Obligations.  Licensee acknowledges and agrees that any documentation relating to
          the Software, and any other information (if such other information is identified 
          as confidential or should be recognized as confidential under the circumstances) 
          provided to Licensee by Broadcom hereunder (collectively, "Confidential 
          Information") constitute the confidential and proprietary information of Broadcom,
          and that Licensee's protection thereof is an essential condition to Licensee's use
          and possession of the Software.  Licensee shall 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 returned to Broadcom 
          upon written request by Broadcom or upon termination of this Agreement.

    6.    LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
          TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL BROADCOM OR ANY OF 
          BROADCOM'S LICENSORS HAVE ANY LIABILITY FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, OR 
          CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, HOWEVER CAUSED AND ON 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.  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.

    7.2.  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.

    7.3.  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.

    7.4.  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. 

    7.5.  Export Regulations. The parties agree that they shall each comply, at their own 
          expense, with the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and all  import and export 
          laws, restrictions, national security controls and regulations of the United 
          States and any applicable foreign agency or authority.  The parties shall not 
          import, export or re-export, or authorize the export or re-export of the Software 
          or any other product, technology, or information that it obtains or learns 
          hereunder, or any copy or direct product thereof, in violation of any of such 
          laws, restrictions, or regulations or without any license or approval required 
          thereunder.  Any and all obligations of the parties to provide the Software or 
          any other product, technology, or information hereunder shall be subject in all 
          respects to such laws, restrictions, and regulations.

    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.
