  72 as detailed in the CIRRUS LOGIC Terms and Conditions of Sale, available at
  73 www.cirrus.com/legal (as the same may be updated from time to time), which shall
  74 apply to Licensee’s use of Software, insofar as relevant thereto.
  75 e.      CIRRUS LOGIC may require Licensee to cease using a version of the Software,
  76 and may require use of an updated version, where (a) a third-party has claimed
  77 that the Software infringes its intellectual property rights, and/or (b) for

  87 5.      CONFIDENTIALITY
  88
  89 a.      Licensee may obtain or be provided with information relating to the Software,
  90 including in documentation provided to it (“Proprietary Information”).  Such
  91 Proprietary Information shall belong solely to CIRRUS LOGIC and/or its
  92 affiliates (or, as the case may be, relevant third parties).
  93 b.      During and after the term of this Agreement, Licensee agrees  to maintain all
  94 such Proprietary Information in strict confidence and to not use (except as
  95 expressly authorized in this Agreement), disclose, or provide any third-party
  96 with access to any Proprietary Information except under a written agreement with
  97 terms at least as protective as the terms of this Agreement.  Licensee also
  98 agrees to exercise the same degree of care and diligence as it uses in respect
  99 of its own confidential and proprietary information when dealing with CIRRUS
 100 LOGIC Proprietary Information, and in any event no less than reasonable care and
 101 diligence.
 102 c.      Information will not be considered Proprietary Information if (i) it becomes
 103 public knowledge other than through any act or omission constituting a breach of
 104 the Licensee’s obligations under this Agreement; (ii) the Licensee can prove it
 105 was already in the Licensee’s possession and at its free disposal before the
 106 disclosure hereunder; and (iii) it was received in good faith from a third party
 107 having no obligation of confidentiality and which is free to disclose such
 108 Confidential Information
 109
 110 6.      NO WARRANTIES OR LIABILITIES
 111
 112 LICENSEE EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED BY
 113 CIRRUS LOGIC “AS IS” WITHOUT ANY WARRANTIES WHATSOEVER AND THAT THE
 114 INSTALLATION, OPERATION AND USE OF THE SOFTWARE IS AT LICENSEE’S OWN RISK.
 115 CIRRUS LOGIC MAKES NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, AND EXPRESSLY
 116 DISCLAIMS ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
 117 PURPOSE, GOOD TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, SATISFACTORY QUALITY OR PERFORMANCE OR
 118 WHICH MAY ARISE FROM A COURSE OF DEALING, USAGE OR TRADE PRACTICE.  CIRRUS LOGIC
 119 PROVIDES NO WARRANTY THAT THE SOFTWARE IS FREE FROM DEFECTS OR CHARACTERISTICS
 120 THAT COULD CAUSE VULNERABILITY TO CYBER-ATTACK, DATA BREACH OR PRIVACY
 121 VIOLATIONS. CIRRUS LOGIC SHALL IN NO EVENT BE LIABLE TO LICENSEE OR ANYONE ELSE
 122 FOR ANY LOSS, INJURY OR DAMAGE CAUSED IN WHOLE OR PART BY THE INSTALLATION,
 123 OPERATION OR USE OF THE SOFTWARE, LICENSEE’S INCORRECT USE OF THE SOFTWARE
 124 INCLUDING ANY FAILURE TO PROPERLY INSTALL ANY UPDATES TO THE SOFTWARE OR OTHER
 125 SOFTWARE WITH WHICH THE SOFTWARE OPERATES OR WHICH IT UPDATES, OR IS INTENDED TO
 126 OPERATE WITH OR UPDATE, OR THE RESULTS PRODUCED BY, OR FAILURES, DELAYS, OR
 127 INTERRUPTIONS OF THE SOFTWARE.  WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING GENERALITY,
 128 CIRRUS LOGIC SHALL IN NO EVENT BE LIABLE WITH RESPECT TO ANY INTELLECTUAL
 129 PROPERTY INFRINGEMENT CLAIMS WHICH ARISE FROM, OR IN ANY WAY RELATE TO, USE OF
 130 THE SOFTWARE, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY CLAIMS RELATING TO HAPTICS ON A
 131 COMPONENT OR SYSTEM LEVEL.  CIRRUS LOGIC AND ITS LICENSORS SHALL IN NO EVENT BE
 132 LIABLE TO LICENSEE OR ANYONE ELSE FOR ANY DIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL OR
 133 SPECIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY LOST PROFITS ARISING OUT OF OR
 134 RELATING TO THE INSTALLATION, OPERATION OR USE OF THE SOFTWARE.    BECAUSE SOME
 135 JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF CERTAIN WARRANTIES OR
 136 TYPES OF CLAIM OR LOSS THEN IN SUCH INSTANCES THE ABOVE EXCLUSIONS SHALL BE
 137 INTERPRETED TO APPLY TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LOCAL LAW.  SUBJECT TO THE
 138 FOREGOING, THE TOTAL LIABILITY OF CIRRUS LOGIC AND ITS LICENSORS TO LICENSEE
 139 UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, AND/OR ARISING FROM, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THE USE OF (OR
 140 INABILITY TO USE) THE SOFTWARE, WHETHER ARISING IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING
 141 NEGLIGENCE), QUASI TORT, OR OTHERWISE SHALL NOT EXCEED THE LICENSE FEES (IF ANY)
 142 PAID BY LICENSEE FOR THE SOFTWARE THAT GAVE RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR TEN THOUSAND
 143 U.S. DOLLARS (U.S. $10,000), WHICHEVER IS GREATER.
 144
 145 7.      EXPORT AND END USE RESTRICTIONS
 146
 147 Licensee acknowledges that the Software is subject to United States and other
 148 applicable export related laws and  regulations (“Export Laws”).  Licensee
 149 agrees that it may not export, re-export or transfer the Software or any direct
 150 product of the Software other than in accordance with those Export Laws.
 151 Licensee further agrees to be bound by, and to act in accordance with,
 152 provisions of the CIRRUS LOGIC Terms and Conditions of Sale available at
 153 www.cirrus.com/legal (as updated from time to time), including insofar as they
 154 relate to export/end use restrictions.
 155
 156 8.      GENERAL PROVISIONS
 157
 158 This Agreement is not assignable or sub-licensable by Licensee without the prior
 159 written consent of CIRRUS LOGIC.  CIRRUS LOGIC may sub-license or assign any or
 160 all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement without Licensee’s
 161 consent.  The waiver by either party of a breach of this Agreement shall not
 162 constitute a waiver of any subsequent breach of this Agreement; nor shall any
 163 delay to exercise any right under this Agreement operate as a waiver of such
 164 right.  This Agreement shall be deemed to have been made in, and shall be
 165 construed pursuant to the laws of, the State of Texas without regard to
 166 conflicts of laws provisions thereof.  Both parties hereby consent to the
 167 exclusive jurisdiction of the State of Texas and the locale of Austin therein.
 168 The prevailing party in any action to enforce this Agreement shall be entitled
 169 to recover costs and expenses including, without limitation, attorneys' fees.
 170 The parties agree that  CIRRUS LOGIC and its licensors shall be entitled to
 171 equitable relief in addition to any remedies it may have hereunder or at law.
 172
 173 9.      ENTIRE AGREEMENT
 174
 175 This Agreement and any terms referenced or incorporated herein, constitutes the
 176 entire agreement between Licensee and CIRRUS LOGIC with respect to the Software
 177 provided pursuant to this Agreement and supersedes any other agreement between
 178 Licensee and CIRRUS LOGIC with respect thereto (including terms presented and/or
 179 accepted as part of an installation process), but does not otherwise replace,
 180 modify or cancel any other written agreement between Licensee and CIRRUS LOGIC.
 181 If there is any inconsistency between these terms and those presented as part of
 182 the process to install the Software, these terms will prevail.
