diligence.

LIABLE TO LICENSEE OR ANYONE ELSE FOR ANY DIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL OR
SPECIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY LOST PROFITS ARISING OUT OF OR
RELATING TO THE INSTALLATION, OPERATION OR USE OF THE SOFTWARE.    BECAUSE SOME

INTERPRETED TO APPLY TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LOCAL LAW.  SUBJECT TO THE
FOREGOING, THE TOTAL LIABILITY OF CIRRUS LOGIC AND ITS LICENSORS TO LICENSEE

This Agreement is not assignable or sub-licensable by Licensee without the prior
written consent of CIRRUS LOGIC.  CIRRUS LOGIC may sub-license or assign any or
all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement without Licensee’s
consent.  The waiver by either party of a breach of this Agreement shall not

modify or cancel any other written agreement between Licensee and CIRRUS LOGIC.
If there is any inconsistency between these terms and those presented as part of
