In the event of any such termination, the license granted by LICENSEE to QUALCOMM in Section 6.1 and 6.2 shall survive. 13.2 Termination For Cause by QUALCOMM. QUALCOMM may terminate this Agreement, by written notice to LICENSEE, if LICENSEE shall at any time default in the payment hereunder or the making of any report hereunder, or shall commit any material breach of any covenant, representation, warranty or agreement herein contained, or shall make any false report to QUALCOMM; provided, however, that in the case of any such breach which is capable of being cured, QUALCOMM shall not have a right to terminate this Agreement for cause unless and until LICENSEE shall have failed to remedy any such default, breach or report within [**] days after written notice thereof by QUALCOMM.

Furthermore, any termination or expiration of this Agreement under this Section shall not prejudice the right of QUALCOMM to conduct a final audit of the records of the LICENSEE in accordance with the provisions of Section 14 hereof.

RECORDS AND AUDITS. 14.1 Records. LICENSEE shall keep accurate and complete books and records concerning any Licensed Products it may sell under this Agreement. As applicable, such books and records shall include the date of transaction involving sales of Licensed Products, including the number of items Sold. LICENSEE shall require in its agreements with sublicensees that each sublicensee agree to record keeping and audits substantially the same as described in this Section 14. LICENSEE hereby agrees to cause its sublicensees to provide to LICENSEE the records and supporting information sufficient to evidence the accuracy of the royalty report to be submitted to QUALCOMM. Such records (together with all supporting information) shall be included in the records described herein and subject to audit by QUALCOMM as provided in this Section.

The cost of such audit shall be borne by QUALCOMM, unless such audit determines that the LICENSEE has underpaid the royalties due hereunder by the lesser of (a) more than five percent (5%) or (b) [**]; in which case, LICENSEE shall, in addition to paying the deficiency plus late payment -19- charges, pay the cost of such audit. LICENSEE shall preserve and maintain all such books and records required for audit for a period of [**] years after the [**] for which the books and records apply (but not more than [**] years after any termination of this Agreement). All information acquired by QUALCOMM from such audit shall be considered Information subject to the terms and conditions of Section 10. 15. ASSIGNMENT.

The foregoing obligations are U.S. legal requirements, and therefore, such obligations shall survive any termination of this Agreement. 17. PUBLICITY. LICENSEE shall submit to QUALCOMM proposed copy of all advertising wherein the name, trademark, code, specification or service mark of QUALCOMM is mentioned; and LICENSEE shall not publish or use such advertising without QUALCOMM's prior written approval. Such approval shall be granted or withheld as promptly as possible (usually within [**] days), and may be withheld only for good cause. No license is granted by LICENSEE to QUALCOMM hereunder with respect to LICENSEE's or its Affiliates' trade name, trademark, code, specification or service mark. No license is granted by QUALCOMM to LICENSEE hereunder with respect to QUALCOMM's or its Affiliates' trade name, trademark, code, specification or service mark. 18. SURVIVAL OF OBLIGATIONS. The Parties' rights and obligations which, by their nature, would continue beyond the termination, cancellation, or expiration of this Agreement, including but not limited to those rights and obligations of the parties set forth in Section 10 entitled "INFORMATION," shall survive such termination, cancellation, or expiration. 19. SEVERABILITY. If any provision in this Agreement shall be held to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining portions shall remain in effect. In the event such invalid or unenforceable provision is considered an essential element of this Agreement, the Parties shall promptly negotiate a replacement provision. 20. NON-WAIVER. No waiver of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, or the failure of either Party strictly to enforce any such term or condition on one or more occasions shall be construed as a waiver of the same or of any other term or condition of this Agreement on any other occasion. 21.

Any controversy, claim or dispute (separately or collectively, the "Dispute") as to whether a product manufactured and/or sold by LICENSEE outside the United States would, but for the license granted hereunder, infringe any foreign patent of QUALCOMM licensed -22- hereunder and therefore is subject to royalties hereunder, shall be resolved in accordance with the procedures specified in this Section 24 which shall be the sole and exclusive procedures for the resolution of any such Dispute.

The arbitrator shall be authorized and empowered only to rule as to whether products manufactured and/or Sold by LICENSEE in a foreign country or countries would, but for the license granted hereunder, infringe any claim of the applicable foreign patent(s) of QUALCOMM, and if so, the amount of the royalties owed by LICENSEE as to such product(s) under Section 5.2 of this Agreement. The arbitrator shall award attorneys' fees and costs to the prevailing Party. The arbitrator shall have no authority to determine whether or not any product(s) of LICENSEE imported into or manufactured and/or Sold in the United States is subject to the payment of royalties under this Agreement or to determine any other issue except those expressly set forth above.
