NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY IN THIS AGREEMENT, IN NO EVENT SHALL PMC BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES RELATING TO OR RESULTING FROM THE USE OF LICENSED MATERIALS OR PMC MODIFICATIONS IN PRODUCTS USED FOR AVIATION, MEDICAL, NUCLEAR OR ULTRA HAZARDOUS PURPOSES OR FOR ANY DAMAGES OWED TO THIRD PARTIES RELATING TO TECHNOLOGY NOT PROVIDED BY PMC. IN NO EVENT WILL PMC'S LIABILITY TO LICENSEE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT EXCEED THE GREATER OF THE AMOUNT PAID BY LICENSEE FOR THE LICENSED MATERIALS OR US $100. THIS LIMITATION ON LIABILITY SHALL SURVIVE EVEN IF THE LIMITED REMEDY PROVIDED HEREIN FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE. Licensee acknowledges that, in providing Licensee with the Licensed Materials, PMC has relied upon Licensee's agreement to be bound by the terms of this Agreement, including the obligation to obtain any necessary licenses from third parties. Further, Licensee agrees to indemnify and hold PMC harmless from any and all actual or threatened liabilities, claims or expenses caused by Licensee's use of any Licensed Materials or PMC Modifications and any Licensee Modifications made by or for Licensee.

7. Confidentiality.
Licensee agrees (i) to use the Confidential Information only as necessary to exercise its rights or fulfill its obligations under this Agreement; (ii) to implement reasonable procedures to prohibit the disclosure, unauthorized duplication, misuse or removal of Confidential Information; and (iii) not to disclose Confidential Information to employees not having a need to know or to any third party (except that Licensee may, in appropriate circumstances and subject to a nondisclosure agreement with terms and conditions at least as protective as the terms of this Section 7, disclose Confidential Information to Licensee's contractors, solely as permitted under Section 2 of this Agreement). Without limiting the foregoing, Licensee shall at all times protect the Confidential Information with at least the same standard of care as it exercises to protect its own confidential information of like importance, but in no event less than reasonable care.

8.2 Governing Law and Forum Selection. This Agreement shall be governed by California law excluding its choice of law rules. With the exception of PMC's rights to enforce its intellectual property rights and the confidentiality obligations under this Agreement, all disputes arising out of this Agreement shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in Santa Clara County, California, and the parties consent to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction and venue of these courts. Licensee waives all defenses of lack of personal jurisdiction and forum non-conveniens. If either party employs attorneys to enforce any rights arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys' fees.

Licensee acknowledges that all software and software related items licensed by PMC to Licensee pursuant to this Agreement are "Commercial Computer Software" or "Commercial Computer Software Documentation" as defined in FAR 12.212 for civilian agencies and DFARS 227.7202 for military agencies, and that in the event that Licensee is permitted under this Agreement to provide such items to the U.S. government, such item shall be provided under terms at least as restrictive as the terms of this Agreement.

8.4 Waiver or Delay. Any express waiver or the failure to exercise promptly any right under this Agreement will not create a continuing waiver or any expectation of non-enforcement.

8.5 Severability. Should any term of this Agreement be declared void or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, such declaration shall have no effect on the remaining terms hereof.

8.6 No Assignment. Licensee may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement to any third party without PMC's prior written consent, and any attempt to do so will be null and void.
