| 2. LICENSEE GRANT; OWNERSHIP |
| |
| 2.1 License Grant. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Amlogic hereby grants |
| to Licensee, under all of Amlogic’s intellectual property rights in and to the Software, a limited, non-exclusive, |
| non-transferrable, royalty-free license: (i) to use, modify and create Derivate Work from the Source Code, |
| and to use the Object Code, without the right to sub-license, solely at the Authorized Location, solely for the |
| purpose of incorporating the Software or Derivative Work in Authorized Licensee Product for use solely with |
| Amlogic Product, and only if in compliance with Section 2.2 below; and (ii) to reproduce, distribute and |
| sublicense, in Object Code only, copies of the Software or Derivative Work only to be incorporated in |

| |
| 2.2 Restrictions on Modification. If and to the extent that the Software is designed to be compliant |
| with any published standard (including without limitation, DOCSIS, HomePNA, IEEE, and ITU standards), |
| Licensee may not make any modifications to the Software that would cause the Software or the accompanying |
| Amlogic Product to be incompatible with such standard. Licensee shall be solely liable for any damages or |
| cause of action that may arise from or relate to such modifications, and Amlogic reserves the right to |
| immediately terminate this Agreement. |
| |
| 2.3 Restriction on Distribution. Licensee shall only distribute the Software or Derivative Work |
| to resellers, distributors and end users either: (a) physically embedded in the Authorized Licensee Product |
| in a manner that is not readily accessible or (b) pursuant to an End User Agreement. By way of example only, |
| an End User Agreement shall be required to distribute the Software or Derivative Work on a CD-ROM, |
| floppy disk or by electronic transmission. |
| |
| 2.4 Proprietary Notices. Licensee shall not remove, efface or obscure any copyright or trademark |
| notices from the Software or Derivative Work. Licensee shall include reproductions of the Amlogic copyright |
| notice with each copy of the Software and any Derivative Work, except where any of the foregoing is embedded |
| in a manner not readily accessible. Licensee acknowledges that any symbols, trademarks, tradenames and |
| service marks adopted by Amlogic to identify the Software or otherwise, belong to Amlogic and that Licensee |
| shall have no claims to any rights therein. |
| |
| 2.5 Ownership. Amlogic shall retain all right, title and interest, including all intellectual property rights, |
| in and to the Software. Licensee hereby irrevocably assigns and agrees to assign to Amlogic all right, title and |
| interest in and to the Derivative Work, including without limitation, all intellectual property rights in and to any |
| inventions (whether or not patentable), know-how’s, ideas and information made or conceived thereof. Licensee |
| agrees to perform all acts deemed reasonably necessary or desirable by Amlogic to permit and assist Amlogic, |
| at Amlogic’s expense, to obtain and enforce the full benefits throughout the world of Licensee’s assignment |
| of all right, title and interest in the Derivative Work to the Software and all related intellectual property rights |
| thereof to Amlogic, including but not limited to execution of documents and assistance or cooperation in the |
| registration and enforcement of any such intellectual property rights throughout the world. To the extent any |
| of the foregoing cannot be assigned to Amlogic, Licensee hereby grants to Amlogic an exclusive, irrevocable, |
| perpetual, royalty-free, fully paid-up, fully transferable, worldwide license (with rights to sub-license through |
| multiple tiers of sublicensees) to use or practice such non-assignable right, title and interest. Notwithstanding |
| the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement, nothing contained herein shall be construed as granting |
| Amlogic any right, title or interest in or to any of Licensee’s intellectual property or Confidential Information. |
| |
| 2.6 Third Party Software. The Software is distributed to Licensee in aggregation with various third-party |
| software (“Open Source Software”). The Open Source Software is distributed to Licensee under the terms of |
| various “open source” license agreements. Licensee agrees to comply with the terms and conditions contained |
| in all such Open Source Software licenses with respect to the applicable Open Source Software. |
| |
| 2.7 No Other Rights Granted. Apart from the license rights expressly set forth in this Agreement, |
| Amlogic does not grant and Licensee does not receive any ownership right, title or interest, or any security |
| interest or other interests, in and to any intellectual property rights related to Software, Derivative Work, |
| or in any copy or any part of the foregoing. Licensee shall not use, license, sell or otherwise distribute the |
| Software or any Derivative Work except as provided in this Agreement, and shall not (or attempt to do so), |
| directly or indirectly, reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble any portion of the Software, including |
| without limitation Source Code and Object Code. |
| |
| 2.8 Fees. In consideration of the licenses granted hereunder, Licensee shall pay to Amlogic the fees |
| according to the terms set forth in each Software Description Form, if applicable. If the Software Description |
| Form does not include payment terms, all payments under this Agreement shall be made within thirty (30) |
| days of the invoice date. Licensee shall pay any taxes, duties or charges of any kind (including any sales, |
| withholding or value added taxes) imposed by any federal, state or local governmental entity except for taxes |
| based on Amlogic’s net income. If all or any part of any payment owed to Amlogic under this Agreement is |
| withheld, based upon a claim that such withholding is required pursuant to the tax laws of any country or its |
| political subdivisions and/or any tax treaty between the US or PRC and any such country, such payment shall |
| be increased by the amount necessary to result in a net payment to Amlogic of the amounts otherwise payable |
| under this Agreement. Any amounts due under this Agreement which are not paid within thirty (30) days of their |
| due date shall be subject to a late payment charge of the lower of: (i) one and one half percent (1.5%) per month |
| (and shall thereafter bear interest at a rate of eighteen percent (18%) per annum until paid) or (ii) the highest |
| interest rate permitted by applicable law. Each party is responsible for its own expenses under this Agreement. |
| All fees payable under this Agreement are non-refundable. |
| |
| 2.9 Covenant. Licensee hereby irrevocably agrees never to Assert against Amlogic and its affiliates, |
| successors, purchasers and/or customers (through any tier of distribution) any claim that the Software or any |
| Derivative Work infringes any intellectual property rights owned by Licensee. For purposes of this Section, |
| “Assert” means to bring an action before any legal, judicial, arbitration, administrative, executive or other |
| types of body or tribunal that has or claims to have authority to adjudicate such action in whole or in part. |
| |
| 2.10 Personnel. With prior written consent of Amlogic, Licensee may exercise license rights granted |
| to it pursuant to this Agreement through third parties (“Personnel”) working on its behalf (e.g., consultants, |
| contractors and technology development partners), provided that Licensee shall cause such Personnel to be |
| subject to and bound by the terms and conditions as set forth in this Agreement including without limitation |
| Section 5. Any act or omission by Personnel acting in relation to this Agreement will be considered an act or |
| omission by Licensee. Any breach by Personnel will be considered a breach of this Agreement by Licensee, |
| and Licensee shall be jointly liable for any such breach by Personnel as if it was a breach by Licensee itself. |
| |
| 2.11 Affiliate. With prior written consent of Amlogic, Licensee may designate an Affiliate (“Designee”) |
| to execute a Software Description Form. Execution of a Software Description Form by Designee (or by Licensee |
| on behalf of Designee) shall constitute: (i) a separate, distinct and independent contract between Amlogic and |
| Designee; (ii) Designee’s independent acceptance of and agreement to be bound by the terms and conditions |
| of this Agreement; and (iii) Licensee’s acceptance of and agreement to be jointly liable with Designee to Amlogic |
| for any breach of the terms and conditions of this Agreement by Designee as if it was a breach by Licensee itself. |
| Accordingly, any act or omission by Designee acting in relation to this Agreement will be considered an act or |
| omission by Licensee. Any breach by Designee will be considered a breach of this Agreement by Licensee, and |
| Licensee shall be jointly liable for any such breach by Designee as if it was a breach by Licensee itself. If the |
| Software involves third-party technology, Designee shall confirm in writing to Amlogic that it has received |
| authorization before any such Software will be provided. For purposes of this Section, “Affiliate” means an entity |
| controlling, controlled by, or under common control, now or hereafter, of Licensee, but only so long as such control |
| exists, and “control” means the ability to influence the acts of an entity by virtue of a controlling interest, directly |
| or indirectly, of 50% or more of the voting rights of the capital of such entity. |
| |
| 3. WARRANTY; SUPPORT |
| |
| 3.1 NO WARRANTY. THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND WITH ALL FAULTS. AMLOGIC PROVIDES |
| NO WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, BY STATUTE, COMMUNICATION, COURSE OF |
| DEALING OR CONDUCT WITH LICENSEE, OR OTHERWISE. AMLOGIC SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ANY IMPLIED |
| WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A SPECIFIC PURPOSE OR NONINFRINGEMENT CONCERNING |
| THE SOFTWARE OR ANY UPGRADES TO OR DOCUMENTATION FOR THE SOFTWARE. WITHOUT LIMITATION OF |
| THE ABOVE, AMLOGIC GRANTS NO WARRANTY THAT THE SOFTWARE IS ERROR-FREE OR WILL OPERATE WITHOUT |
| INTERRUPTION, AND GRANTS NO WARRANTY REGARDING ITS USE OR THE RESULTS THEREFROM INCLUDING, |
| WITHOUT LIMITATION, ITS CORRECTNESS, ACCURACY OR RELIABILITY. |
| |
| 3.2 No Support. Nothing in this Agreement shall obligate Amlogic to provide any support for the Software. |
| Amlogic may, but shall be under no obligation to, correct any defects in the Software or provide updates to Licensee. |
| Licensee may, but is not required to, make reasonable efforts to report to Amlogic any defects it may uncover in the |
| Software, so as to aid in creating improved revisions of the Software. |
| |
| 3.3 End User Support. Licensee shall, at its own expense, be solely responsible for providing technical support |
| and training to its customers or end users for Authorized Licensee Product, and Amlogic shall have no obligation with |
| respect thereto. Licensee shall be solely responsible for, and Amlogic shall have no obligation to honor, any warranties |
| that Licensee provides to its resellers, distributors, customers or end users with respect to the Software or Derivative |
| Work. Licensee shall defend any claim against Amlogic arising from or in connection with any such warranties, express, |
| implied, statutory or otherwise, and shall pay any settlements or damages awarded against Amlogic that are based on |
| any such warranties. |
| |
| 4. TERM AND TERMINATION |
| |
| 4.1 Term and Termination. This Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and shall remain in effect |
| perpetually unless terminated as provided below. If Licensee defaults in a material obligation under this Agreement, |
| and if the default is curable and Licensee fails to cure such default thirty (30) days after written notice of such default, |
| Amlogic may immediately terminate this Agreement and the licenses granted hereunder upon written notice to Licensee. |
| Licensee may terminate this Agreement at any time upon written notice to Amlogic and fulfillment of its obligations |
| under Section 4.2 herein. |
| |
| 4.2 Effect of Termination. Upon any termination of this Agreement, the rights and licenses granted to Licensee |
| under this Agreement shall immediately terminate; provided, however, that sublicenses of the Software or Derivative |
| Work in Object Code format, to the extent validly granted to end users pursuant to Section 2.1(ii) prior to termination |
| of this Agreement, shall survive such termination subject to compliance with the obligations set forth herein. Upon |
| termination, Licensee shall ship to Amlogic, within thirty (30) days, all tangible items in its possession or control which |
| are proprietary to Amlogic, and Licensee shall destroy or return to Amlogic, at Amlogic’s option, all copies of the |
| Software and Derivative Work (including without limitation Source Code) in its possession or control. |
| |
| 4.3 Survival. The provisions of Sections 1, 2.2 to 2.9, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 shall survive the termination of this Agreement. |
| |
| 5. CONFIDENTIALITY |
| |
| 5.1 Existing NDA (if Applicable). If Amlogic and Licensee already have put in place a non-disclosure agreement |
| that would protect communications made under this Agreement (the “NDA”), then all such communications shall be |
| subject to the terms and conditions of such NDA, which the parties acknowledge shall be in full force and effect. The |
| parties agree that the Software, Object Code, Source Code, and any accompanying documentation thereof, shall be |
| considered Confidential Information under the NDA. In the event of a conflict between the terms of this Agreement |
| and the terms of the NDA, the terms of this Agreement will prevail. |
| |
| 5.2 Obligations if No NDA Exists. If no NDA exists, then the following terms shall apply: Licensee acknowledges |
| and agrees that the Software, Object Code, Source Code, and any accompanying documentation thereof, and any other |
| information (if such other information is identified as confidential or should be recognized as confidential under the |
| circumstances) provided to Licensee by Amlogic hereunder (collectively, “Confidential Information”) constitute the |
| confidential and proprietary information of Amlogic, and that Licensee’s protection thereof is an essential condition |
| to Licensee’s use and possession of the Confidential Information. Licensee shall retain all Confidential Information in |
| strict confidence and not disclose it to any third party or use it in any way except as permitted by this Agreement without |
| Amlogic’s express written consent. Licensee will exercise at least the same amount of diligence in preserving the secrecy |
| of the Confidential Information as it uses in preserving the secrecy of its own most valuable confidential information, but |
| in no event less than reasonable diligence. Information shall not be considered Confidential Information if and to the |
| extent that it: (i) was in the public domain at the time it was disclosed or has entered the public domain through no |
| fault of Licensee; (ii) was known to Licensee, without restriction, at the time of disclosure as proven by the files of |
| Licensee in existence at the time of disclosure; or (iii) becomes known to Licensee, without restriction, from a source |
| other than Amlogic without breach of this Agreement by Licensee and otherwise not in violation of Amlogic’s rights. |
| Because of the unique and valuable nature of the Confidential Information, Licensee acknowledges and agrees that Amlogic |
| will suffer irreparable harm in the event that Licensee fails to comply with any of its obligations herein and that monetary |
| damages will be inadequate to compensate Amlogic for such breach. |
| |
| 5.3 Source Code Protection. Licensee shall not under any circumstances copy, duplicate or otherwise reproduce |
| the Source Code in any manner except as provided herein. Licensee is granted the right to make one (1) archival or backup |
| copy of the Source Code, which shall be marked as an archival copy and as the confidential and proprietary property of |
| Amlogic to which access is restricted. Licensee agrees to inform all employees and contractors who are given access by |
| Licensee to the Software, including the Source Code, the Object Code, or any accompanying documentation, that such |
| materials are confidential and trade secrets of Amlogic licensed to Licensee as such. |
| |
| 6. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY |
| |
| EXCEPT FOR A BREACH BY LICENSEE OF SECTION 2 (LICENSE GRANT; OWNERSHIP) AND/OR A BREACH BY EITHER PARTY |
| OF SECTION 5 (CONFIDENTIALITY), IN NO EVENT SHALL LICENSEE, AMLOGIC OR ANY OF AMLOGIC’S LICENSORS BE LIABLE |
| FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, HOWEVER CAUSED AND ON ANY THEORY OF |
| LIABILITY, WHETHER FOR BREACH OF CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE) OR OTHERWISE, ARISING OUT OF THIS |
| AGREEMENT, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF PROFITS, EVEN IF SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY |
| OF SUCH DAMAGES. THESE LIMITATIONS SHALL APPLY NOTWITHSTANDING ANY FAILURE OF ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF ANY |
| LIMITED REMEDY. |
| |
| AMLOGIC’S AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ANY REASON AND UPON ANY CAUSE OF ACTION WHATSOEVER SHALL NOT |
| EXCEED THE GREATER OF ONE HUNDRED UNITED STATES DOLLARS ($100.00) OR THE AMOUNTS PAID TO AMLOGIC BY |
| LICENSEE HEREUNDER. |
| |
| 7. MISCELLANEOUS |
| |
| 7.1 Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective |
| successors and assigns. Licensee may not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligation hereunder, directly or indirectly, |
| by operation of law or otherwise, without the prior written consent of Amlogic, and any such attempted assignment shall be |
| void. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Licensee may assign this Agreement to a successor of all or substantially all of its business |
| or assets to which this Agreement relates provided that such successor is not a competitor of Amlogic. Amlogic may assign |
| this Agreement to a successor of all or substantially all of its business or assets to which this Agreement relates with prior |
| notice to Licensee. |
| |
| 7.2 Notices. All notices between the parties shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given if personally |
| delivered or sent by certified mail (return receipt requested), or telecopy, to the other party’s legal department at the address |
| set forth in this Agreement, and for Amlogic to Attn: Legal Department, Amlogic (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. Building E5, 2555 Xiupu Road, |

| |
| 7.3 Governing Law and Venue. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of |
| People’s Republic of China (“PRC”), without reference to choice of law provisions and the United Nations Convention on |
| Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is hereby excluded. Any dispute arising from or in connection with this Agreement, |
| which cannot be resolved in good faith by the parties themselves, shall be submitted to a court in Pudong New District, Shanghai, |
| China applying PRC laws. The competent court decision shall be final and binding upon both parties. During court proceedings, |
| both parties will not suspend, refuse or delay further performance of any obligations that are not the subject of the court proceeding |
| under this Agreement. |
| |
| 7.4 Waiver and Severability. The waiver of, or failure to enforce, any breach or default hereunder shall not constitute the |
| waiver of any other or subsequent breach or default. All terms and provisions of this Agreement shall, if possible, be construed in |
| a manner which makes them valid, but in the event any term or provision of this Agreement is found by a court of competent |
| jurisdiction to be illegal or unenforceable, the validity or enforceability of the remainder of this Agreement shall not be affected |
| if the illegal or unenforceable provision does not materially affect the intent of this Agreement. If the illegal or unenforceable |
| provision materially affects the intent of the parties to this Agreement, then this Agreement shall be terminated accordingly. |
| |
| 7.5 Injunctive Relief. Licensee hereby acknowledges that its breach of this Agreement would cause irreparable harm and |
| significant injury to Amlogic that may be difficult to ascertain and that a remedy at law would be inadequate. Accordingly, Licensee |
| agrees that Amlogic shall have the right to seek and obtain immediate injunctive relief to enforce the terms and obligations under |
| this Agreement in addition to any other rights and remedies it may have at law or in equity. |
| |
| 7.6 Export Regulations. Licensee agrees and warrants that it shall comply, at its own expense, with the US Foreign Corrupt |
| Practices Act and all export laws, restrictions, national security controls and regulations of the United States, PRC and any applicable |
| foreign agency or authority. Licensee shall not export or re-export, or authorize the export or re-export of the Software or any other |
| product, technology, or information that Licensee obtains or learns hereunder, or any copy or direct product thereof, in violation of |
| any of such laws, restrictions, or regulations or without any license or approval required thereunder. Any and all obligations of Amlogic |
| to provide Software or any media in which the Software is contained shall be subject in all respects to such laws, restrictions, and |
| regulations. Licensee hereby agrees to indemnify and hold Amlogic harmless from and against any losses, damages, penalties or |
| causes of action resulting from Licensee’s breach of this Section. |
| |
| 7.7 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, along with any associated Software Description Forms, sets forth the complete and |
| exclusive understanding between the parties regarding the subject matter of this Agreement, and supersedes any and all prior |
| agreements and communications, oral or written. This Agreement means, collectively, the referenced Software License Agreement |
| and all Software Description Forms referencing the Software License Agreement. Any modification or amendment of any provision |
| of this Agreement will be effective only if in writing and signed by both parties. In the event of a conflict between the terms of this |
| Agreement and the terms of a Software Description Form, the terms of the Software Description Form shall control. This Agreement |
| is in the English language and may be translated to Chinese; the English version will prevail in the event of any inconsistency between |
| the English and any Chinese translations thereof. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall |
| be deemed an original, but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Facsimile, electronic or digital |
| signatures shall constitute an original signature for all purposes. |
