	3.	RELEASE. 

 3.1 By
Broadcom. Subject to Broadcom’s timely receipt of, and in partial consideration of the Release and License Fee, Broadcom, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, hereby irrevocably releases Emulex and its Affiliates, and their respective
officers, agents, servants, employees, and attorneys, and Emulex and its Affiliates’ distributors, customers, suppliers (only for components of Licensed Products supplied to Emulex or its Affiliates), and end users from any and all causes of
action, actions, judgments, indebtedness, damages, losses, claims, demands, costs, expenses, attorneys’ fees and liabilities of any nature whatsoever, whether known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, for infringement (whether direct,
contributory, inducement of infringement, or otherwise) of any Licensed Patents that arose prior to the Effective Date, solely if and to the extent: (a) such infringing activity would have been licensed under this Agreement if the license
granted under Section 2.1 of this Agreement had been in existence at the time of the infringing activity (i.e., solely with respect to the Licensed Products and subject to all of the restrictions set forth in Section 2 hereof) or
(b) the alleged infringement arises from the making, use, sale, offer for sale, import, or export of the [**] Products. The foregoing release is limited to the Licensed Patents. The foregoing release does not extend to any Emulex Product
capable of processing Ethernet communications that is used as a server-based device that sends requests to storage devices or other servers, [**]. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing release of Emulex suppliers does not apply to, and Broadcom
is not restricted from taking any action regarding, any such supplier making, having made, selling, offering for sale, using or importing any product that is not incorporated within a Licensed Product. 

3.2 By Emulex. Emulex, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, hereby irrevocably releases Broadcom and its Affiliates, their
respective officers, agents, servants, employees, and attorneys, and Broadcom’s and its Affiliates’ distributors, customers and end users from any and all causes of action, actions, judgments, indebtedness, damages, losses, claims,
demands, costs, expenses, attorneys’ fees and liabilities of any nature whatsoever, whether known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, which they have, had or claim to have as of the Effective Date that arise out of or relate to the

 Confidential portions of this Exhibit marked as [**] have been omitted pursuant to a request for
confidentiality and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. 
  

 
noninfringement, alleged unenforceability or alleged invalidity of any patent. The foregoing release with respect to Broadcom’s and its Affiliates’ distributors, customers and end users
shall apply only to the extent the liability of such distributors, customers and users arises from facts alleged in any such proceeding. 
 3.3 Dismissal; Modification of Injunction. Within five (5) business days of the Effective Date (provided that Broadcom has timely received the Release and License Fee), the Parties shall
jointly submit to the relevant court a partial dismissal and request to modify the Injunction in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, including dismissing with prejudice the Litigation with respect to, and vacating the Injunction with respect to,
SOC 442 for the U.S. Patent No. 7,058,150, and SOC 320, SOC 422, SOC 442, and Sequoia for U.S. Patent No. 7,471,691. 

3.4 Waiver. Each Party and its Affiliates expressly, knowingly and intentionally waive for themselves and their legal successors
and assigns, the benefits and rights of Section 1542 of the California Civil Code, which states as follows: 
 “A general release
does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him or her must have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor.”

 Each Party acknowledges that it has received independent legal advice from its attorneys with respect to waiving the provisions of
California Civil Code § 1542 and acknowledges that this waiver is a material inducement to and consideration for the other Party’s execution of the Agreement. Each Party likewise waives the benefits of any statute, rule, doctrine or common
law principle of any jurisdiction of similar effect to California Civil Code § 1542.

shall make such payment of the Release and License Fee via electronic transfer to the following account: 
  

							
		 	Bank Name:	  	[**]	  	
				
		 	SWIFT Code:	  	[**]	  	
		 	ABA#:	  	[**]	  	
		 	Account Name:	  	[**]	  	
		 	Account Number:	  	[**]	  	

 4.2 Injunction Royalties. Broadcom agrees that timely payment of the Release and License Fee
satisfies any obligation that Emulex or any of its Subsidiaries has under the 








 Confidential portions of this Exhibit marked as [**] have been omitted pursuant to a request for
confidentiality and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. 
  

 
Injunction or by virtue of the Litigation to pay royalties or damages to Broadcom for infringing the Licensed Patents by making, using, selling, offering for sale, or importing: (i) any
Licensed Products licensed under Section 2.1.1 during the Term; (ii) products prior to the Effective Date that would have been Licensed Products licensed under Section 2.1.1 had they been made, used, sold, offered or sale or imported

 4.3 Taxes. Emulex shall be responsible for
payment of all sales, use, property, value-added, withholding, or other federal, state or local taxes arising out of or relating to this Agreement, except for taxes based solely on Broadcom’s net income. If Broadcom is required to pay any taxes
arising out of or relating to this Agreement (other than taxes based solely on Broadcom’s net income), then such taxes shall be billed to and paid by Emulex. All payments by Payor to Broadcom pursuant to this Agreement shall be made without any
withholding or deduction of any withholding tax or other tax or mandatory payment to government agencies. If Payor is legally required to make any such withholding or deduction from any payment due to Broadcom under this Agreement, the sum
payable by Payor upon which such withholding or deduction is based shall be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that, after such withholding or deduction, Broadcom receives and retains, free from liability for such withholding or deduction,
a net amount equal to the amount Broadcom would have received and retained in the absence of such required withholding or deduction. Should Broadcom be able to successfully claim a foreign tax credit based on any such withholding or deduction made
by Payor, Broadcom will promptly pay to Payor the amount of such foreign tax credit. 
 4.4 No Admission. Emulex, on
behalf of itself and its Affiliates, acknowledges and agrees that Broadcom’s entry into this Agreement is due to unique circumstances relating to the Licensed Products, and that nothing herein should be interpreted to the effect that the

Patents or any other transaction, patent or set of patents, or product or set of products. This Agreement is entered into without any admission or acquiescence on the part of any Party as to the merit of any claim, liability, order, award, judgment,
damages, or injunction related to any patent rights or the Litigation (“Admission”). Neither the fact of a Party’s entry into or performance of this Agreement nor any term or terms hereof shall constitute, or be used as evidence of,
an Admission by either Party at any time or for any purpose. 
 4.5 Reports. Emulex will provide to Broadcom reports as
set forth in this Section 4.5 (“Reports”). Emulex agrees that all Reports shall be complete and accurate and shall include with each Report a certification that such Report is complete and accurate executed by an executive (Vice

not practice any claim of any Licensed Patent.

information through no fault of Broadcom, provided that Broadcom may disclose such Reports: (a) as may be required by applicable law, regulation, or governmental authority; or (b) under seal to a court of competent jurisdiction with prior
notice to Emulex sufficient to allow Emulex an opportunity to object or seek to limit such disclosure.

Affiliate of an Emulex Acquiror) makes a First Patent Assertion against Broadcom or a Broadcom Subsidiary or any Broadcom or Broadcom Subsidiary product, service, process or technology during the Term and does not retract, dismiss or otherwise cure
the making of such First Patent Assertion within thirty (30) days of notice from Broadcom, then this Agreement shall terminate automatically without any requirement of notice to Emulex or further action by Broadcom. 

As used in this Section 5.3: 
 (a) “First Patent Assertion” means bringing, commencing, filing or otherwise instituting any infringement claim or petition for declaratory judgment alleging infringement or
non-infringement, invalidity, or unenforceability of any patent before any legal, judicial, arbitral, administrative, executive or other body or tribunal, anywhere in the world, that has or claims to have authority to adjudicate such claim,
including without limitation any court or arbitral body or the U.S. International Trade Commission. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a “First Patent Assertion” shall not include: (i) any claim brought by Emulex or a Licensed Subsidiary
in response to (x) an earlier claim of patent infringement under any patent, other than the 








 Confidential portions of this Exhibit marked as [**] have been omitted pursuant to a request for
confidentiality and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. 
  

 
Continuing Proceedings, or (y) an earlier petition for declaratory judgment alleging infringement or non-infringement, invalidity, or unenforceability of any patent of Emulex or any Licensed
Subsidiary, in each case instituted by Broadcom or a Broadcom Subsidiary after the Effective Date against Emulex or a Licensed Subsidiary; (ii) any claim that was brought, commenced, filed or otherwise instituted [**] that was [**]
Emulex’s or an Emulex Affiliate’s [**] and that is [**] by Emulex or an Emulex Affiliate (provided that [**] that does not qualify as an [**] shall be eligible to be a “First Patent Assertion” if it otherwise meets the criteria
set forth in this paragraph); (iii) a counterclaim by Emulex or a Licensed Subsidiary of invalidity, unenforceability or non-infringement of a patent in any proceeding in which Broadcom previously asserted that Emulex or a Licensed Subsidiary,
or any Emulex or Licensed Subsidiary product, service, process or technology, infringes such patent; or (iv) if Broadcom undergoes a Change of Control, and as a result of such Change of Control, another entity directly or indirectly Controls
Broadcom (the “Broadcom Parent”), any claim [**]. For the avoidance of doubt, any assertion of a [**] (unless [**] Emulex’s or an Emulex Affiliate’s [**]) shall not be considered a “First Patent Assertion”. 

(b) “Continuing Proceedings” means (i) claims by Broadcom or a Broadcom Subsidiary under the ’150 Patent
Family and/or the ’194 Patent Family against any products of Emulex or any Licensed Subsidiary accused of infringement in the currently pending proceedings between the Parties as of the Effective Date or any products not colorably different
therefrom, (ii) contempt motions or actions regarding violation of injunctions issued or that may issue in the currently pending proceedings between the Parties as of the Effective Date (such actions currently identified as Broadcom
Corporation v. Emulex Corporation, Case No. SACV 09-1058 JVS (C.D. Cal.) and Broadcom Corporation v. Emulex Corporation, Case No. SACV 10-03963 JVS (C.D. Cal.)), and (iii) Broadcom pursuing a retrial against Emulex regarding
infringement of the ’194 Patent Family in such currently pending proceedings. 
 (c) “[**]” means any
patent [**] in such patent by Emulex or a Licensed Subsidiary, provided that such patent shall be considered a [**] and provided further that a patent shall not be considered a [**]. 

(d) “[**]” means an entity that is primarily in the business of designing, manufacturing, selling or distributing
products that [**]. For the avoidance of doubt, a [**] shall not constitute an “[**].” 
 (e)
“Acquisition” means, as to a subject party, a transaction or a series of related transactions in which the subject party acquires an entity, whether through the acquisition of stock, acquisition of assets, merger (including reverse
triangular merger) or otherwise. 
 5.3.2 Change of Control. If Emulex undergoes a Change of Control, and as a result of
such Change of Control, another entity directly or indirectly Controls Emulex (the “Emulex Acquiror”), then: (1) if Emulex of any Licensed Subsidiary assigns or otherwise transfers to such Emulex Acquiror or any Affiliate of such
Emulex Acquiror any patent or patent application (including any assignment by operation of law, merger or otherwise); or (2) if such Emulex Acquiror or any Affiliate of such Emulex Acquiror files or otherwise obtains ownership of a patent
application that claims priority from any patent or patent application that was owned by 








 Confidential portions of this Exhibit marked as [**] have been omitted pursuant to a request for
confidentiality and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. 
  

 
Emulex or an Emulex Affiliate prior to such Change of Control, then Emulex agrees that, and Emulex or the Licensed Subsidiary shall obtain such Emulex Acquiror’s written agreement that, a
First Patent Assertion under such patent or a patent issuing on such patent application, or continuations, continuations-in-part, divisionals, reissues, reexaminations, and foreign counterparts thereof (such patents, “Emulex-Related
Patents”) will remain subject to Section 5.3.1, and that Broadcom is a direct and intended third party beneficiary of such agreement. In no case shall Section 5.3.1 apply to any patent that: (x) was owned prior to such Change of
Control by the Emulex Acquiror or any entity that was an Affiliate of the Emulex Acquiror prior to such Change of Control (unless such patent was acquired from Emulex or an entity that was an Emulex Affiliate prior to or in connection with such
Change of Control); (y) issues after such Change of Control on a patent application that was filed prior to such Change of Control by or on behalf of the Emulex Acquiror or any entity that was an Affiliate of the Emulex Acquiror prior to such
Change of Control; or (z) after such Change of Control, issues on a patent application filed after such Change of Control by or on behalf of the Emulex Acquiror or Affiliate thereof that does not claim priority from a patent application that
was filed by or on behalf of Emulex or an Emulex Affiliate prior to such Change of Control. 
 5.4 Effect of Termination.
All rights and licenses granted hereunder (including, without limitation and notwithstanding anything else, Section 2.1 and the rights and licenses granted therein), as well as all obligations of the parties hereunder, shall terminate as of the
expiration or termination of this Agreement, provided that the provisions of Sections 1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 3, 4.4, 4.7, 5.4, 6 and 7 of this Agreement shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason. 

 

	6.	CONFIDENTIALITY 

 Except
as set forth in Section 7.1, each Party agrees that the terms of this Agreement shall remain confidential and shall not be disclosed to any third party without the prior written consent of the other Party hereto except (a) to such
Party’s attorneys, auditors and accountants on a need-to-know basis under circumstances that reasonably ensure the confidentiality thereof, (b) as may be required by applicable law, regulation, or order of a court or governmental authority
of competent jurisdiction, (c) each Party may disclose this Agreement, in confidence, to such Party’s actual or potential sources of equity or debt financing and potential acquirers of one or more businesses of the Party, and (d) each
Party may disclose, in confidence, to such Party’s customers and potential customers and beneficiaries of Section 3.1 and 3.2 information regarding the scope of the license and release granted herein. With respect to the foregoing
subsection (b), the Party required to make the disclosure shall, to the extent legally permissible, provide the other Party with prior written notice, and shall use reasonable efforts to limit the disclosure of the terms and conditions of this
Agreement and obtain a protective order or other confidential treatment of this Agreement. If not legally permissible to provide prior written notice, the Party required to make the disclosure shall provide written notice as soon as legally
permissible to do so. Any intentional failure by Emulex to fully comply with its obligations under this Section 6 shall be deemed a material breach of this Agreement. 








 Confidential portions of this Exhibit marked as [**] have been omitted pursuant to a request for

	7.	MISCELLANEOUS 

 7.1
Joint Press Release. The Parties shall issue a joint press release regarding this Agreement in the form set forth in Exhibit D promptly after the close of trading of the New York Stock Exchange (i.e., promptly after 4:00 pm EST) on
July 5, 2012. 
 7.2 Authority. Each Party represents and warrants that it has the power and authority to make,
execute, deliver and perform under this Agreement. 
 7.3 Assignment. Neither Party shall have the right to assign or
transfer this Agreement without the other Party’s prior written consent. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement, and the releases contained herein, shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the Parties hereto and their
respective permitted successors and assigns. 
 7.4 Mergers and Acquisitions. In the event: (i) of a Change of
Control of Emulex, other than a Financial Change of Control (as defined below); or (ii) that Emulex or any Emulex Affiliate enters into a Related Product Acquisition where the third party business that is acquired or merged with (or whose
assets or business is acquired) in such Related Product Acquisition had total gross revenue during the last [**] full calendar quarters immediately preceding the closing date of such Related Product Acquisition (the “Acquired Revenue”)
that is more than [**] of the applicable Emulex Revenue (either of the foregoing (i) or (ii), a “Transaction”), then the licenses and other rights granted to Emulex under this Agreement: (a) will automatically become limited, as
of the closing date of the Transaction, to the then-existing Licensed Products that have been made generally commercially available by Emulex prior to the date of entry into such Transaction and the Licensed Products [**] (the “Existing and
Roadmap Products”); and (b) will not in any event cover any products or services of (x) any other party to the Transaction; or (y) Emulex other than the Existing and Roadmap Products. Emulex will promptly notify Broadcom
following completion of a Related Product Acquisition by Emulex or any Emulex Affiliate, with such written notice including a Report as specified in Section 4.5. As used in this Section 7.4, “Emulex Revenue” means, with respect
to a Related Product Acquisition, the total gross revenues of Emulex in the last [**] full quarters (based on Fiscal Years) immediately preceding such Related Product Acquisition. As used in this Section 7.4, a “Financial Change of
Control” means a Change of Control of Emulex in which the entity that obtains Control of Emulex is a private equity firm, financial investment entity or other similar financial institution or financial creditor (such an entity, meeting all
of the criteria set forth in this sentence, a “Financial Acquiror”) that is not: (1) itself in the business of designing, manufacturing, selling or distributing any goods, or (2) an Affiliate of an entity that is in the business
of designing, manufacturing, selling or distributing any goods, other than a separate entity that is Controlled by such Financial Acquiror that is operated entirely separately from Emulex after such transaction. For the avoidance of doubt, after any
Financial Change of Control, any subsequent merger or other business combination of Emulex with, or acquisition by, any other entity that is not a Financial Acquiror (including any Affiliate of the applicable Financial Acquiror that does not itself
qualify as a Financial Acquiror), or any other subsequent transaction that would have constituted a Change of Control in the absence of such Financial Change of Control other than another Financial Change of Control, shall itself constitute a Change
of Control. As an example, if a Financial Acquiror Controls another entity that is in the business of designing, manufacturing, selling or distributing goods, and after a Financial Change of Control of Emulex,









 Confidential portions of this Exhibit marked as [**] have been omitted pursuant to a request for
confidentiality and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. 
  

 
such other entity subsequently acquires or merges with Emulex, then such subsequent acquisition or merger shall be deemed a Change of Control for purposes of this Section 7.4 even if the
Financial Acquiror maintains Control of the acquiring or surviving entity. As another example, if a Financial Acquiror Controls another entity that also qualifies as a Financial Acquiror (a “Financial Sub”), and after a Financial Change of
Control of Emulex, such Financial Sub subsequently acquires or merges with Emulex, then such subsequent acquisition or merger shall be deemed a Financial Change of Control (rather than a Change of Control) for purposes of this Section 7.4

 7.5 Costs and Expenses. Each of the Parties shall bear its own costs, expenses and attorneys fees incurred with regard
to the negotiation, drafting, and consummation of this Agreement. 
 7.6 Governing Law/Forum. This Agreement shall be
governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of California without regard to or application of choice of law rules or principles. Should any future action be brought regarding this Agreement or any provision
contained herein, such action shall be brought in a state or federal court of competent jurisdiction in the Central District of California. The Parties also hereby stipulate that any judgment arising out of this Agreement and issued by a court of
competent jurisdiction in the State of California shall be given full faith and credit in all jurisdictions. 
 7.7 Equitable
Relief. Without limitation of any other legal or equitable remedies available to the Parties, each Party agrees that, due to the unique and valuable nature of the subject matter of this Agreement, there may be no adequate remedy at law for a
Party if the other Party breaches this Agreement and that any such breach may result in irreparable harm to the non-breaching Party for which monetary damages would be inadequate to compensate the non-breaching Party. Accordingly, each Party agrees
that the non-breaching Party shall be entitled to specific performance to enforce the terms and conditions of this Agreement and to obtain from any court of competent jurisdiction injunctive relief to restrain any breach or threatened breach of, or
otherwise to specifically enforce, any covenant or obligation of the other Party under the terms and conditions of this Agreement, without the necessity of posting any bond or security. 

7.8 Attorneys Fees. The prevailing Party in any proceeding brought to enforce the provisions of this Agreement is entitled to
recover its costs and expenses (including reasonable attorney fees) incurred in connection with such proceeding and as may be incurred in connection with collecting any money judgment or award or otherwise enforcing each order, judgment, or decree
entered in the proceeding. 
 7.9 Notices. Notices under this agreement shall be sent to a Party via overnight delivery
with proof of delivery to the respective address first set forth above. Notices to Emulex shall be directed to the attention of “Senior Vice President, General Counsel.” Notices to Broadcom shall be directed to the attention of
“Executive Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary.” 
 7.10 Severability. If any provision of this
Agreement is held to be illegal or unenforceable, such provision shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that the remainder of this Agreement will continue in full force and effect and be enforceable.









 Confidential portions of this Exhibit marked as [**] have been omitted pursuant to a request for
confidentiality and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. 
  

 
The Parties agree to negotiate in good faith an enforceable substitute provision for any invalid or unenforceable provision that most nearly achieves the intent of such provision. 

7.11 No Third Party Beneficiaries. The contractual rights in this Agreement are solely for the benefit of Emulex and Broadcom,
their respective Affiliates, the persons released under Sections 3.1 and 3.2 and any of their permitted successors and assigns, and shall not confer any rights or remedies upon any other person or entity, as a third party beneficiary or otherwise.

 7.12 Independent Contractors. This Agreement shall not be construed as creating a partnership, joint venture,
franchise, agency or other such relationship. The Parties agree that this Agreement represents a non-exclusive relationship and does not limit the ability of either Party to participate in other similar relationships with other third parties.

 7.13 Bankruptcy. All licenses and releases granted under this Agreement are, and shall otherwise be deemed to be, for
purposes of Section 365(n) of Title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”), licenses of rights of “intellectual property” and rights to “intellectual property” under agreements supplementary thereto
as “intellectual property” is defined under Section 101 of the Bankruptcy Code. Broadcom and Emulex agree that this agreement is of the type described in 11 U.S.C. § 365(c)(1), provided that any limitation imposed by 11 U.S.C.
§ 365(c)(1) shall only apply in respect of assignments that are prohibited by the terms of this Agreement, and shall not apply to any assumption so long as, in connection with any such assumption, the Change of Control provisions in
Section 7.4 of this Agreement are enforced in accordance with the terms hereof. 
 7.14 Fiscal Years and Quarters.
Should Emulex change its fiscal year or fiscal quarters such that they are different than Fiscal Years and Fiscal Quarters as defined in this Agreement, Emulex may give notice to Broadcom of such fact and the Parties shall reasonably cooperate to
transition this Agreement and the performance of it to Emulex’s new fiscal year and fiscal quarters. 
 7.15
Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts and by facsimile or electronic PDF signature. Each of said counterparts, when so executed and delivered, shall be deemed an original and, taken together, shall constitute one and
the same instrument. 
 7.16 Captions. The captions to the paragraphs or subparagraphs of this Agreement and the title of
the Agreement itself are solely for the convenience of the Parties, are not a part of this Agreement, and shall not be used for the interpretation of, or determination of the validity of, this Agreement or any provision hereof. 








 Confidential portions of this Exhibit marked as [**] have been omitted pursuant to a request for

 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned have executed this Agreement effective as of the Effective Date.

		 		  	 JOINT STIPULATION TO DISMISS CERTAIN

ALLEGATIONS WITH PREJUDICE










 Pursuant to Local Rule 7-1, Plaintiff and Counter-Defendant Broadcom Corporation
(“Broadcom”) and Defendant and Counter-Claimant Emulex Corporation (“Emulex”) hereby stipulate as follows: 

1. WHEREAS Broadcom alleges that Emulex infringes U.S. Patent No. 7,471,691 (the “’691 Patent”); U.S. Patent

 2. WHEREAS Emulex has counterclaimed for a declaratory judgment that it does not infringe the Asserted Patents and that the Asserted Patents are invalid; and 

3. WHEREAS the parties have entered into an agreement dated July 3, 2012 and titled Patent License and Release Agreement, in which
each has agreed to dismiss certain allegations relating to the Asserted Patents; 
 IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED that,

 Subject to the Court’s approval, the following claims shall be dismissed with prejudice:

Patent”) only with respect to the following products: Zephyr and SOC 442, as those products are currently manufactured or have been manufactured in the past. Such dismissal shall not apply to any other accused product, nor shall it preclude
Broadcom from asserting infringement based on the use of any component or portion of Zephyr and/or SOC 442 in any other product. 


  

	 	•	 	 The Sixth Counterclaim of Emulex’s Answer, Affirmative Defenses, and Counterclaims to Broadcom’s First Amended Complaint (“Declaratory
Judgment of Invalidity and Non-Infringement of U.S. Patent No. 6,424,194”) only with respect to the following products: Zephyr and SOC 442; 


 The ’124 Patent: 
  

	 	•	 	 Count Eight of Broadcom’s First Amended Complaint for Patent Infringement and Demand for Jury Trial (“Infringement of the ’124

	 	•	 	 The Eighth Counterclaim of Emulex’s Answer, Affirmative Defenses, and Counterclaims to Broadcom’s First Amended Complaint (“Declaratory

 It is further stipulated and agreed between the parties as follows:

agreed to request that the Court amend the Permanent Injunction to remove SOC 442 from the category of ’150 Patent Enjoined Products. In the event that: (1) Emulex uses the SerDes component (or any component not colorably different from

442 as a ’150 Patent Enjoined Product under the Permanent Injunction, and (ii) Emulex agrees that it shall not oppose any such petition. 
 (b) With respect to the Emulex Lancer (i.e. XE201) product, Emulex may make, have made, use, sell, offer for sale, and/or import Lancer only for certain fields of uses explicitly described in the
Agreement. Broadcom agrees that Emulex
