outside of the United States is paid to LICENSEE other than in U.S. dollars,

LICENSEE shall convert the portion of the royalty payable to QUALCOMM from such

Net Selling Price into U.S. dollars at the official rate of exchange of the

currency of the country from which the Net Selling Price was paid, as quoted by

the U.S. Wall Street Journal (or the Chase Manhattan Bank or another agreed-upon

source if not quoted in the Wall Street Journal) for the last business day of

the calendar quarter in which such Licensed HDR Products were Sold. If the

transfer of or the conversion into U.S. dollars is not lawful or possible, the

payment of such part of the royalties as is necessary shall be made by the

deposit thereof, in the currency of the country where the sale was made on which

the royalty was based to the credit and account of QUALCOMM or its nominee in

any commercial bank or trust company of QUALCOMM's choice located in that

no rights and sublicenses are granted for or may be extended under patents that

apply to the GSM part of any product).

4.7.3 Non-Assertion Against [**]. The sublicense granted to LICENSEE

under Section 4.7.2 above shall continue only so long as LICENSEE and its

Affiliates do not assert, either in litigation or by a direct communication, any

Essential Patents for CDMA Applications against [**] CDMA subscriber,

infrastructure or test equipment products and LICENSEE does not dismiss such

litigation or withdraw such assertion or offer a royalty-free license under such

patents within [**] days after QUALCOMM's receipt of notice from [**] of such

litigation or communication.

accept such [**] rates, LICENSEE shall have up to [**] days after the date of

such notice to notify QUALCOMM that it accepts a license from QUALCOMM on such

[**], provided that LICENSEE must also, at QUALCOMM's request, accept and be

bound by all other material terms and conditions granted by QUALCOMM [**].

The above paragraph shall not apply with respect to (i) [**] of LICENSEE's

exercise of the option set forth in Section 4.8 of this Agreement, (ii) any

license granted by QUALCOMM to its Affiliates or (iii) any license granted by

QUALCOMM, [**] for which consists in whole or in part of patent rights or other

rights of such substantial value as, in the reasonable judgment of QUALCOMM, to

warrant (a) [**] provided in this Agreement, or (b) [**]. This Section 4.9 shall

not apply retroactively, nor shall it be construed as entitling LICENSEE to [**]

the grant of such third party license to such other licensee.

5. LICENSE BY LICENSEE

5.1 Grant of License from LICENSEE. Subject to the terms and conditions of

this Agreement, LICENSEE hereby grants to QUALCOMM a worldwide, personal,

nontransferable, non-exclusive, fully-paid, irrevocable and royalty free license

(without the right to sublicense, except to Affiliates of QUALCOMM as permitted

in Section 5.2) to use LICENSEE's Intellectual Property (a) to make (and have

made) and import, use, sell, lease or otherwise dispose of Licensed HDR Products

solely for Wireless Applications and (b) to make (and have made) Components that

have been exclusively designed by or for QUALCOMM (which design is owned and

used exclusively for QUALCOMM) and import, use, sell, lease or otherwise dispose

of Components. No other, further or different license is hereby granted or

implied.

5.2 Right To Sublicense Affiliates. QUALCOMM shall have the right to grant

sublicenses only to Affiliates of QUALCOMM with respect to any rights conferred

upon QUALCOMM under this Agreement; provided, however, that any such sublicense

shall be subject in all respects to the restrictions, exceptions, termination

provisions, and other provisions contained in this Agreement. QUALCOMM, in

addition to its sublicensed Affiliates, shall be responsible and liable to

LICENSEE in the event that any of its sublicensed Affiliates fails under any

such sublicense to honor and comply with all obligations of QUALCOMM as

 

13

<PAGE>

though said obligations were made expressly applicable to the sublicensed

Affiliate. Except as set forth above, QUALCOMM shall have no right to sublicense

any of LICENSEE's Intellectual Property. Any sublicense by QUALCOMM to an

Affiliate of QUALCOMM shall terminate immediately if such Affiliate ceases to be

an Affiliate of QUALCOMM.

5.3 License Of Future Commercially Necessary IPR. Each Party agrees that,

to the extent it makes licenses of Future Commercially Necessary IPR generally

available to third parties, it will, if requested by the other Party, offer such

licenses to the other Party on commercially reasonable terms and conditions.

5.4 No LICENSEE Deliverables. Except as expressly provided for in this

Agreement, LICENSEE shall have no obligation to disclose any LICENSEE

Intellectual Property, know-how, trade secrets or other technology to QUALCOMM,

to Affiliates of QUALCOMM or to any third party.

6. COMMITMENT BY LICENSEE

6.1 Covenant Not to Assert. LICENSEE hereby covenants that neither it nor

its Affiliates will assert any of LICENSEE's Technically Necessary IPR against

any of QUALCOMM's other HDR infrastructure equipment licensees and their

Affiliates (collectively, the "Authorized Licensees") with respect to such

Authorized Licensee's use of any of LICENSEE's Technically Necessary IPR to

make, use and sell HDR infrastructure equipment and/or HDR Components solely for

Wireless Applications, provided that such Authorized Licensee has agreed with

QUALCOMM to an equivalent undertaking not to assert claims against LICENSEE and

its Affiliates. LICENSEE does not by this Section 6.1 agree, on behalf of itself

or its Affiliates, to waive its rights to assert any of LICENSEE's Commercially

Necessary IPR against any Authorized Licensee with respect to such Authorized

Licensee's use of any of LICENSEE's Commercially Necessary IPR. Any Authorized

Licensee that has agreed with QUALCOMM to an equivalent undertaking not to

assert claims shall be regarded as a third party beneficiary of this Section

6.1. QUALCOMM will promptly notify LICENSEE of any Authorized Licensees that

have agreed to such an equivalent undertaking.

6.2 License to Third Parties. The parties agree that it is in the interest

of each of the Parties and of the Wireless industry to obtain the widest

possible acceptance of the final HAI. Accordingly, LICENSEE agrees to negotiate

in good faith to promptly grant to Authorized Licensees which do not meet the

requirements of Section 6.1 a license to use all of LICENSEE's Technically

Necessary IPR to make, use and sell HDR infrastructure equipment and HDR

Components for Wireless Applications. Each such license shall be granted at

reasonable rates and otherwise on reasonable terms and conditions consistent

 

14

<PAGE>

with LICENSEE's licensing policies, which may include that such third party

grant a cross-license to LICENSEE of technically necessary intellectual property

rights owned by such third party.

6.3 Commercial Efforts. LICENSEE shall use commercially reasonable efforts

to market, promote and sell Licensed HDR Products throughout the world.

7. MARKING

LICENSEE agrees to affix to the exterior or the interior of all Licensed

HDR Products incorporating any of QUALCOMM's Intellectual Property a legible

notice reading: "Licensed by QUALCOMM Incorporated under one or more of the

following Patents," followed by a list of applicable patent numbers taken from

the list of QUALCOMM's patents or as may otherwise be instructed by QUALCOMM.

8. QUALITY CONTROL

8.1 General Quality of Licensed HDR Products. Throughout the term of this

Agreement, LICENSEE shall maintain, for the Licensed HDR Products manufactured

or Sold by it, at least the same manufacturing, servicing and quality standards

currently utilized by LICENSEE in connection with its similar analog and, if

applicable, other digital products.

8.2 Standards Compliance Testing. LICENSEE represents and warrants that the

Licensed HDR Products and HDR Components that it makes or has made will adhere

with and conform to, in all respects, the specifications contained in the HAI

and that LICENSEE shall comply with the rules, regulations or other requirements

set by such authorized standards body. LICENSEE shall, at QUALCOMM's reasonable

written request, permit QUALCOMM or entities designated by QUALCOMM and accepted

by LICENSEE, which acceptance shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, to

perform tests of Licensed HDR Products being marketed by LICENSEE to ensure

compliance and conformity with the HAI. If such tests indicate material

noncompliance or nonconformity therewith, such tests shall be at LICENSEE's cost

and LICENSEE shall reimburse QUALCOMM for any such reasonable tests performed by

QUALCOMM at [**]. If such test does not indicate material noncompliance or

nonconformity, the test shall be at [**]. Nonconforming Licensed HDR Products,

if any, shall not be sold or marketed by LICENSEE until the non-conformity is

corrected.

Party within [**] days after disclosure thereof.

to bar disclosure of Information by a receiving Party to third party

subcontractors, prospective customers or Affiliates of the receiving Party with

a need to know, without the written consent of the furnishing Party, if such

disclosure is reasonably necessary for enjoyment of the receiving Party's rights

to use Intellectual Property Rights licensed under this Agreement, and provided

that each such third party agrees in writing to protect the Information under

contained in this Section 9 and Section 17 with respect to survivability.

scope of any patent, copyright or other intellectual property right; (c) a

warranty or representation that any manufacture, sale, lease, use or importation

this Agreement upon ninety (90) days' prior written notice to QUALCOMM; provided

that all license fees and royalties which have accrued under the terms of the

Agreement shall be due and owing and all such amounts and all previous amounts

paid are and shall remain non-refundable. In the event of any such termination,

the license granted by LICENSEE to QUALCOMM in Section 5.1 and 5.2 shall

survive.

12.2 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

[**] days after written notice thereof by QUALCOMM. LICENSEE shall be able to

effectuate such cure with respect to a default in the payment of any royalty

hereunder no more than three times during the term of this Agreement. Upon

12.6 Rights Upon Termination. Upon any expiration or termination of this

Agreement, whether for cause or not, all licenses granted hereunder shall also

terminate (except as expressly stated in Section 12.1), and each Party shall

immediately (i) cease using any of the other Party's Intellectual Property

Rights and (ii) return or destroy all information and documentation furnished by

royalties on Licensed HDR Products Sold on or prior to the date of such

termination or expiration and shall not prejudice the right to recover any

royalties or other sums due or accrued at the time of such termination or

expiration and shall not prejudice any cause of action or claim accrued or to

accrue on account of any breach or default. Furthermore, any termination or

13.1 Records. LICENSEE shall keep accurate and complete books and records

concerning any Licensed HDR Products it may sell under this Agreement. As

applicable, such books and records shall include the date of transaction

involving sales of Licensed HDR 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 13. 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

 

20

<PAGE>

records described herein and subject to audit by QUALCOMM as provided in this

Section. LICENSEE's agreements with its sublicensees shall expressly state that

QUALCOMM shall be able to enforce rights under Section 13.2 below directly

against any such sublicensee. LICENSEE shall furnish QUALCOMM within [**] days

after the end of each [**] a certificate, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit

A, signed by a responsible official of LICENSEE showing the transactions and

corresponding amounts during said [**] and any other information as may be

reasonably requested by QUALCOMM.

13.2 Audits. QUALCOMM may, no more than once each calendar year, cause its

independent public accounting firm to conduct an audit on reasonable notice of

LICENSEE's applicable books and records and sublicensee's records and its

supporting information obtained under Section 13.1 above to confirm the royalty

paid or to be paid to QUALCOMM in accordance with the terms and conditions set

forth in Section 4.2 above. 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

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

or any right or interest under this Agreement, nor delegate any obligation to be

performed under this Agreement (an "assignment"), without QUALCOMM's prior
