        6.2   Cooperation.    Each Party shall cooperate with the other Party to permit the other Party to perform its duties
and obligations under this Agreement in a timely manner. 

        6.3   Limitations.    Neither Party shall be required to provide any Service to the extent the provision of such
Service becomes commercially unreasonable for such Party as a result of a cause or causes outside the reasonable control of such Party, or to the extent the performance of such Services would require
such Party to violate any applicable laws, rules or regulations, or would result in the breach of any software license or other applicable contract. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 6.3
to the contrary, if an event occurs that materially and adversely affects a Party's ability to provide any of the Services or support pursuant to this Agreement (or the commercial reasonableness of
any Service or support to be provided by such Party), such Party shall provide immediate written notice to the other Party, and the Parties shall then negotiate a resolution in good faith.

        7.     WARRANTIES; LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.  

         7.1   Each Party acknowledges that the other Party is not in the business of providing Services and that Services are being provided pursuant
to this
Agreement as an accommodation to the other Party. In no event will either Party be liable for any error or omission in rendering Services under this Agreement, or for any defect in the Services
rendered. Each Party's sole and exclusive remedy and the other Party's sole and exclusive liability for any breach of Section 3 or Section 4 of this Agreement, and for any damages
suffered or incurred directly or indirectly in connection with the provision of Services hereunder (whether any claim related to such damages arises in contract, in tort, by statute or otherwise),
shall be the prompt and proper performance by the providing Party of such Services. 

        7.2   NEITHER OF THE PARTIES MAKES ANY REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES OR GUARANTEES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT
LIMITATION, ANY WARRANTY OF CONDITION, MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, WITH RESPECT TO THE SERVICES TO BE PERFORMED HEREUNDER BY IT OR THE RESULTS OBTAINED THEREBY. WITHOUT
LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF THE FOREGOING, UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES, INCLUDING THE FAILURE OF THE ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF ANY REMEDY, NEITHER OF THE PARTIES SHALL BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOST PROFITS, PENALTIES,
INTEREST OR SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES CAUSED BY THE PERFORMANCE OF, ANY DELAY IN PERFORMING, FAILURE TO PERFORM OR DEFECTS IN PERFORMANCE OF, THE SERVICES CONTEMPLATED TO
BE PERFORMED BY IT PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER A PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. 

        8.     LEGAL REQUIREMENTS RELATED TO CERTAIN SERVICES.  

         8.1   Export Controls.    The Parties understand and recognize that the materials made available to them hereunder and the
Product(s)
produced through use thereof may be subject to the Export Administration Regulations of the United States Department of Commerce and other United States governmental regulations relating to the export
of technical data and equipment and product(s) therefrom. The Parties are familiar with and agree to comply with all such regulations, including any future modifications thereof. In compliance with
United States Export Administration Regulations, Conexant assures Specialty that unless prior authorization is obtained from the United States Office of Export Administration, it shall not export or
re-export, directly or indirectly, the Specialty software, technical information or improvements provided hereunder or under any ancillary agreements hereto, or any products utilizing the
Products, to any countries where export of such technology or products is prohibited under the then current Export Administration Regulations as issued by the United States Department of Commerce,
unless the required export licenses from the United States Department of Commerce and United States Department of State are properly obtained prior to Conexant's exportation thereof. 

        9.     TERMINATION.  

         9.1   Termination of Services.  

         (a)   Termination of a Service for Cause.    A Party may terminate any Services it is providing under this Agreement with
"cause" upon
providing [...***...] prior written notice to the other Party. For purposes of this Section 9.1, "cause" shall mean (a) the filing of a petition in bankruptcy or
an assignment for the benefit of creditors by the other Party or the adjudication of the other Party as bankrupt, or the appointment of a receiver for the business of the other Party; or
(b) the failure of the other Party to pay the terminating Party amounts due under this Agreement within [...***...] after receipt of an invoice therefore. In the event
Services are terminated pursuant to this Section 9.1, each Party, as applicable, shall pay that portion of the costs already incurred for Services by such Party, if any.

        (b)   Early Termination.  

         (i)    Notwithstanding anything in this Section 9 to the contrary, the Parties may terminate one, some or all of the Services to be
provided
under this Agreement at any time upon the written consent of both Parties. Further, either Party may terminate one, some or all of the Services provided to it by the other Party at any time upon
notice provided as follows: 

[...***...] 

        (c)   Termination for Breach.    If either Party defaults materially in provision of any Service for which it is
responsible hereunder, then the non-defaulting Party shall provide the defaulting Party with written notice thereof. The Parties agree to negotiate in good faith a resolution or cure of
such default. The defaulting Party shall have until the later of (i) [...***...] (the "Cure Period") to cure such
default. If the Party fails to cure such breach within such Cure Period, the non-breaching Party shall have the right, exercisable no later than
[...***...] after the end of such Cure Period, to terminate this Agreement effective upon written notice to the breaching Party. 

        9.2   Effect of Termination.    If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section 9, all further
obligation of the parties under this Agreement shall terminate; provided, however, that: (a) no party shall be relieved of any obligation or liability arising from any prior breach by such
party of the provisions of this Agreement; and (b) notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the provisions of Sections 7, 8, 9.2, 10 and 11 shall survive the termination of this
Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Information Technology Services Agreement shall also survive any termination of this Agreement, and continue in force and effect for the
period stated therein in accordance with the terms and conditions thereof. 

        10.   CONFIDENTIALITY.    The Parties acknowledge that any nonpublic information disclosed or provided by one Party
to another Party in connection with this Agreement will be subject to the Confidentiality Agreement between the Parties dated February 22, 2002. The terms and conditions of this Agreement
(including the pricing information contained herein) will be considered to be the Confidential Information (as defined in the Confidentiality Agreement) of both parties. 

        11.   MISCELLANEOUS.  

         11.1   Governing Law.    This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the
State of
Delaware applicable to contracts made and to be performed entirely within such State, without regard to the conflicts of law principles of such State. The Parties hereby consent to jurisdiction and
venue in the state and federal courts sitting in the State of Delaware.

        11.2   Assignment.    Neither Party shall be permitted to assign any of its rights or delegate any of
its obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other Party; except that
(i) Specialty may, without such consent, assign all such rights to any Affiliate controlling Specialty or to any Person providing financing to Specialty as collateral security for such
financing provided that no such assignment shall relieve Specialty of any of its obligations hereunder; (ii) Conexant may, without such consent, assign all such rights to any Affiliate
controlling Conexant provided that no such assignment shall relieve Conexant of any of its obligations hereunder, and (iii) any Party may, without such consent, assign all such rights to any
Person that acquires, directly or indirectly, all or any substantial portion of the assets or securities of such Party. In addition to the foregoing, Conexant may assign, delegate or sublicense all or
any portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to (i) the acquiring entity of a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of any line of business or
division of Conexant, or (ii) any other party that is created as a result of a spin-off from, or similar reorganization transaction of, Conexant or any line of business or division
of Conexant, provided that (i) no such assignment shall relieve Conexant from its obligations hereunder and (ii) Specialty will have the right to review the allocation of rights and
obligations hereunder to the acquiring or spun-off entity, and Conexant will work in good faith with Specialty to resolve any reasonable objections that Specialty may have to such
allocation. In the event of an assignment pursuant to the preceding sentence, Conexant and Specialty shall, at Conexant's request, use good faith, commercially reasonable efforts to enter into
separate agreements with each of the resulting entities and take such further actions as may be reasonably required to assure that the rights and obligations under this Agreement are preserved, in the
aggregate, and divided equitably between such entities. Any unauthorized assignment or transfer shall be null and void. 

        11.3   Successors and Assigns.    Except as otherwise provided herein, the terms and conditions of this
Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the respective successors and assigns of the parties. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any party
other than the parties hereto or their respective successors and assigns any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement, except as expressly provided in this
Agreement. 

        11.4   Force Majeure.    Neither Party shall be liable for failure or delay in performance of its
obligations under this Agreement to the extent such failure or delay is caused by an act of God, act of a public enemy, war or national emergency, rebellion, insurrection, riot, epidemic, quarantine
restriction, fire, flood, explosion, storm, earthquake, interruption in the supply of electricity, power, or energy, or other catastrophe, terrorist attack, labor dispute or disruption, or other event
beyond the reasonable control of such Party. If a Party's performance under this Agreement is affected by a force majeure event, such Party shall give prompt written notice of such event to the other
Party and shall at all times use its reasonable commercial efforts to mitigate the impact of the force majeure event on its performance under this Agreement. In the event of a force majeure event as
described in this Section that affects either or both Parties' ability to perform under this Agreement, the Parties agree to cooperate in good faith in order to resume the affected Services as soon as
commercially possible to the extent commercially reasonable. 

        11.5   Notices.    Any notice required or permitted under this Agreement shall be given in writing and
shall be deemed effectively given: (a) upon personal delivery to the party to be notified; (b) when sent by confirmed telex or facsimile if sent during normal business hours of the
recipient, if not, then on the next business day; or (c) two (2) business days after deposit with an internationally recognized overnight courier, specifying next business day delivery,
with written verification of receipt at the address indicated for such party below, or at such other address as such party may designate by ten (10) days' advance written notice to the other.

shall be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one instrument. This Agreement may be executed and delivered by facsimile and the parties agree that such facsimile execution and
delivery shall have the same force and effect as delivery of an original document with original signatures, and that each party may use such facsimile signatures as evidence of the execution and

        11.7   Entire Agreement; Amendments.  

         (a)   This Agreement and the Exhibits hereto constitute the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and

        11.9   Severability.    If any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to any Person or
circumstance is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remaining provisions hereof, or the application of such provision to Persons or circumstances
other than those as to which it has been held invalid or unenforceable, will remain in full force and effect and will in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated thereby. If the economic or legal
substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is affected in any manner adverse to any Party as a result thereof, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith in an effort to agree upon a suitable
and equitable substitute provision to effect the original intent of the Parties. 

        11.10   Waiver.    Except as otherwise provided herein, no delay of or omission in the exercise of any
right, power or remedy accruing to either Party as a result of any breach or default by the other Party under this Agreement shall impair any such right, power or remedy, nor shall it be construed as
a waiver of or acquiescence in any such breach or default, or of any similar breach or 

22

 

default
occurring later; nor shall any waiver of any single breach or default be deemed a waiver of any other breach or default occurring before or after that waiver. 

        11.11   No Agency.    Nothing in this Agreement shall constitute or be deemed to constitute a
partnership or joint venture between the Parties or constitute or be deemed to constitute any Party the agent or employee of the other Party for any purpose whatsoever and neither Party shall have
authority or power to bind the other or to contract in the name of, or create a liability against, the other in any way or for any purpose. 

        11.12   Information.    Subject to Section 10 above and any applicable laws and privileges, each
Party covenants and agrees to provide the other Party with all information regarding itself and the transactions under this Agreement that the other Party reasonably believes is required to comply
with all applicable federal, state, county, and local laws, ordinances, regulations, and codes, and to satisfy the requesting Party's obligations hereunder.
