result of a Ramtron default, which is not corrected within the sixty (60) day
period provided in Section 7.3 above, any and all licenses granted to SEC
hereunder shall survive and continue after such termination, subject to the
provisions of Articles IV, V and VII.

     7.4.3  In the event that this Agreement is terminated under Section 7.3,
as a result of a SEC default which is not corrected by SEC within the sixty
(60) day period provided in Section 7.3 above, then any and all license rights
granted to SEC hereunder shall automatically terminate on the date of such
termination, and SEC shall return to Ramtron any and all technical documents
and data that may have been furnished by Ramtron to SEC under this Agreement;
provided, however, nothing in this Subsection 7.4.3 shall be construed to
relieve SEC of its liability to pay Ramtron royalties on all FRAM Products and
Licensed RF/ID Products sold, used or otherwise transferred by SEC prior to
or after the date of such termination in accordance with this Agreement.
