      Re:   Credit and Security Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) dated as of
November 29, 2005, by and between Conexant USA, LLC (“Purchaser”), and Wachovia
Bank, National Association, as “Lender” (capitalized terms used herein have the
meanings ascribed thereto in the Credit Agreement)

Dear Mr. Petry:
Thank you for the recent communication regarding the extension of the Credit
Agreement. Wachovia Bank, National Association (“Wachovia”), subject to the
satisfaction of the terms and conditions set out in this letter, agrees to amend
the Credit Agreement’s definition of “Scheduled Purchase Termination Date” so
that the term, as amended, will read in its entirety as follows:
“Scheduled Purchase Termination Date” means November 28, 2008.
As you can see from the Credit Agreement and the other Program Documents, the
amendment of this definition will also cause a corresponding extension for each
of the other Program Documents.
In consideration of the amendment provided above, Conexant USA, LLC, hereby
agrees to pay to Lender a renewal fee in an amount equal to $300,000 on or
before October 26, 2007, which fee shall be deemed fully earned upon the
effectiveness of the aforementioned amendment and, once paid, shall be
non-refundable.
The amendment provided in this letter shall be effective as of November 28,
2007, upon the satisfaction of all of the following conditions precedent (as
determined by Wachovia in its reasonable discretion):

  (a)   Each of Purchaser and Seller shall have executed and delivered this
letter; and     (b)   Wachovia shall be satisfied that the Policy remains in
effect and comports with the terms and conditions of the Program Documents.

By executing and delivering this letter to Wachovia, the Purchaser, Seller, and
Servicer represent and warrant that the representations and warranties made by
each of them in the Program Documents are true and correct in all material
respects as of the date of their signature below (other than representations and
warranties which relate only to a specific date) and that, as of such date,
there exists no Default, Event of Default, or Servicing Agreement Event of
Default.
If you agree to the amendments set forth above, please (i) indicate your
agreement by signing in the space provided below, (ii) fax a signed copy of this
