12.3.    Maintenance of Confidentiality.  Licensee agrees to take reasonable measures to protect the secrecy of and avoid the unauthorized disclosure or use of Confidential Information, including at least those measures that Licensee takes to protect its own most highly confidential information.  Licensee may not make any copies of Confidential Information except as expressly permitted by Section 2.2 (Grant) or as approved by Licensor in advance, in writing.  Licensee must reproduce all proprietary right notices on any such approved copies, in the same manner in which such notices were set forth in or on the original.
12.4.    Return of Confidential Information.  Except as provided in Section 11.2 (Retention of Copies, Sell-Off), Licensee agrees to promptly return to Licensor or destroy, at Licensor’s request, all copies of Confidential Information, in whatever form or media, and to certify to Licensor in writing that it has done so.

Any notice of non-performance, termination or non-renewal must be sent by nationally (or, if applicable, internationally) recognized overnight courier or by certified mail, return receipt requested.  Notices will be deemed given and received on receipt (except that faxes and e-mails received on a non-business day (according to the recipient’s business calendar) will be deemed received on the next business day).  If a notice cannot be received because the recipient has moved and failed to notify the sender of its change of address, or because the recipient is out of business, then a notice will be deemed received when sent.
13.2.    Entire Agreement.  This Agreement, together with its exhibit(s), constitutes the complete, exclusive and final expression of the Parties’ agreement and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous understandings, proposals, representations or communications, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof.
13.3.    Governing Law, Exclusive Jurisdiction and Venue.  This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California without regard to its conflict of laws provisions.  The provisions of the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods will not apply.  Each Party hereby agrees that any action, suit or proceeding (“Action”) that arises, in whole or in part, under or in connection with this Agreement will be adjudicated only by a court of competent jurisdiction in the county of San Diego, State of California, and (ii) irrevocably and unconditionally consents and submits to the personal jurisdiction of such courts for purposes of any such Action, and irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection (such as inconvenient forum) to the laying of venue of any Action in any such court.

Licenser’s prior written consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld if the proposed transfer occurs in connection with the sale of substantially all of Licensee’s assets or outstanding voting securities to a third party that is not a Licensor Competitor.

Licensee acknowledges that the Licensed Technology, Components, and any and all hardware, software, source code and technology (collectively, “Products”) obtained from Licensor or its affiliates are subject to the US government export control and economic sanctions laws, including the Export Administration Regulations (“EAR”, 15 CFR 730 et seq., http://www.bis.doc.gov/) administered by the Department of Commerce, Bureau of Industry and Security, and the Foreign Asset Control Regulations (31 CFR 500 et seq., http://www.treas.rtov/offices/enforcement/ofact) administered by the Department of Treasury, Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”).

The US government maintains embargoes and sanctions against the countries listed in Country Groups E:1/2 of the EAR (Supplement I to part 740), currently Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan (N) and Syria but any amendments to these lists shall apply.  Licensee agrees not to directly or indirectly employ any Product received from Licensor or its affiliates in missile technology, sensitive nuclear or chemical biological weapons activities, or in any manner knowingly Export any Product to any party for any such end use.

to delivery if such Licensee Products are subject to the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (“ITAR”, 22 CFR 120 et seq., http://pmddtc.state.gov/) or the Wassenaar International Munitions List (“IML”, http://www.wassenaar.org/).  Licensee will notify Licensor’s Export Compliance Department via e-mail at export@qualcomm.com with Licensee part number, purchase order number, Export Control Classification Number (“ECCN”), and ITAR/IML control number.  Additionally, any Licensee Products controlled under the ITAR or IML delivered to Licensor shall be marked in accordance with US export law.
13.8.    Records and Audit.  During the Term and for six months thereafter, Licensor will have the right at reasonable times no more than once per year, directly or through its representative, upon a minimum of thirty (30) days written notice setting forth the period under review, and under reasonable time, place, and manner restrictions, to review Licensee’s applicable books and records regarding Licensee’s adherence to the Intellectual Property Rights provisions of this Agreement.
13.9.    Amendment, Waiver, Remedies.  No amendment or modification of this Agreement is binding unless signed by Licensee and a duly authorized representative of Licensor.  The observance of any provision of this Agreement may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance) only by the written consent of the Party or parties adversely affected by such waiver.  No failure of a Party to enforce its rights under this Agreement will be deemed a waiver.  A waiver will be narrowly construed to apply solely to the specific instance to which such waiver is directed.  Except as expressly stated herein to the contrary, the exercise of any right or remedy provided in this Agreement will be without prejudice to the right to exercise any other right or remedy provided by law or equity.
13.10.    Severability.  If any provision of this Agreement or portion thereof is found to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, such provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary and this Agreement will otherwise remain in full force and effect.  In addition, the Parties agree to substitute for the limited or eliminated provision a new provision that effects, as nearly as possible, the original intent of the Parties.
13.11.    Counterparts, Fax Signatures.  This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original, but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument.  Facsimile signatures will be considered original signatures.
13.12.    Mutual Negotiations.  Each provision of this Agreement will be fairly interpreted and construed in accordance with its provisions and without any strict interpretation or construction in favor of or against either Party.
13.13.    Choice of Language.  The original language of this Agreement is in English.  Licensee waives any right to have this Agreement written in any other language, regardless of whether Licensee’s country of incorporation is English speaking.
13.14.    No Third Party Beneficiaries.  No provision of this Agreement is intended or will be construed to confer upon or give to any person or entity other than Licensee and Licensor any rights, remedies or other benefits under or by reason of this Agreement.
13.15.    Reservation of Rights.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement: (i) Licensee does not receive any rights, licenses, or immunities from suit under any QUALCOMM Incorporated patents under or as a result of this Agreement (whether expressly, impliedly, by virtue of 

estoppel or exhaustion, or otherwise), (ii) without limitation, Licensee shall not use or sell any wireless wide area network (“WWAN”) baseband integrated circuit that it purchases or acquires from Licensor or any product that incorporates any such WWAN baseband integrated circuit (whether alone or in combination with any other software or components) without a separate license or non-assertion covenant from QUALCOMM Incorporated in respect of or under all applicable patents, (iii) this Agreement does not modify or abrogate Licensee’s obligations under any license or other agreement between Licensee and QUALCOMM Incorporated, including without limitation any obligation to pay any royalties, and (iv) Licensee will not contend that Licensee has obtained any right, license, or Immunity from suit with respect to any QUALCOMM Incorporated patents under or as a result of this Agreement (whether expressly, impliedly, by virtue of estoppel or exhaustion, or otherwise).
