connected with and symbolized by the Transferable Marks. Corage hereby accepts
such assignment and assumes (and shall pay,
5
perform and discharge when due) all obligations with respect to such
Transferable Licensing IP accruing from and after the Effective Date.
SECTION 2.2. Retention of Certain Rights.
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and
notwithstanding Section 2.1, DSPGL retains for itself, its successors and
assigns, and its and their current and future Affiliates (and Corage hereby
grants to DSPGL, its successors and assigns, and its and their current and
future Affiliates), a nonexclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free,
worldwide right and license to prepare derivative works of and otherwise
modify, make, reproduce, sell and otherwise distribute, transmit, import, and

(A) the Existing Cores are limited to use and exploitation as part of DSPGL
Products that offer material functions and features in addition to the Existing
Cores themselves, and (B) the Other Transferable Licensing IP are limited to
use and exploitation in connection with DSPGL Products.
(b) Notwithstanding any rights retained by or granted to DSPGL or any other
Transferring Entity in this Agreement or otherwise, DSPGL shall not, and shall
ensure that each Transferring Entity shall not, under any circumstances grant
any licenses or sublicenses of the Existing Cores (or disclose the designs of
the Existing Cores constituting Corage Confidential Information) to any third
party, during the Noncompetition Period (as that term is defined in the
Separation Agreement) other than in connection with the contracted design or
manufacture of DSPGL Products by third parties for DSPGL, its successors and
assigns, and its and their current and future Affiliates, provided that DSPGL,
its successors and assigns, and its and their current and future Affiliates
shall not provide any such designs of the Existing Cores to any such third
party that has not previously executed a license/sublicense and/or
confidentiality agreement on terms and conditions generally imposed by DSPGL
for its own comparable materials, and provided further, that such
licenses/sublicenses shall cover only the technology or information reasonably
required by such contract designer or manufacturer in order to manufacture or
design, as applicable, the DSPGL Products for DSPGL, its successors and
assigns, and its and their current and future Affiliates.
6
(c) During the Noncompetition Period, if DSPGL desires to license and/or
sublicense the Existing Cores to a customer or potential customer in a manner
prohibited by Section 2.2(b), Corage will, at its option, either (i) negotiate
in good faith with DSPGL a non-exclusive, commercial license permitting such
license and/or sublicense on terms and conditions and at pricing comparable to
those Corage makes generally available to other customers of such Existing
Cores, or (ii) negotiate in good faith with such customer or potential customer
such license and/or sublicense on terms and conditions and at pricing
comparable to those Corage makes generally available to other customers of such
Existing Cores.
SECTION 2.3. License of Transferable Marks. Subject to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement, Corage hereby grants to DSPGL, its successors and
assigns, and its and their current and future Affiliates, a nonexclusive,
perpetual, royalty-free, worldwide license to use the Transferable Marks solely
in connection with DSPGL Products that incorporate, are based on or otherwise
use the Transferable Licensing IP to which such Transferable Marks relate,
including the marketing, advertising, packaging, sales and distribution of such
DSPGL Products. DSPGL agrees that all goodwill arising out of the use of the
Transferable Marks by DSPGL, its successors and assigns, and its and their
current and future Affiliates will inure exclusively to the benefit of Corage.
DSPGL agrees to use the appropriate trademark legend (either "TM" or circled
"R") with the first prominent use of the Transferable Marks in any marketing,
advertising and packaging materials, to indicate Corage's ownership of the
Transferable Marks in accordance with the practices DSPGL generally uses to
identify the owners of third-party marks that DSPGL is authorized to use, and,
in connection with the use of the Transferable Marks, to conform substantially
with other written trademark usage guidelines of Corage notified to DSPGL which
Corage imposes on its licensees generally (and with which Corage itself
complies), provided that DSPGL, its successors and assigns, and its and their
current and future Affiliates will have a reasonable opportunity to comply with
any new or modified usage guidelines. DSPGL agrees to provide samples of such
materials using the Transferable Marks to Corage for its inspection upon
Corage's reasonable request, and DSPGL shall use commercially reasonable
efforts to remedy any defect in its use of the Transferable Marks. If DSPGL
fails to remedy any such defect within sixty (60) days of receiving Corage's
written notice describing such defect in detail, Corage will have the right,
upon written notice to DSPGL, to suspend DSPGL's license set forth in this
Section 2.3 with respect to the DSPGL materials that contain such defect until
such defect is remedied.
SECTION 2.4. Support. Corage shall make available (or cause to be made
available) to DSPGL, its successors and assigns, and its and their current and
future Affiliates, maintenance and support services for the Existing Cores and
the Other Transferable Licensing IP solely to support the use and exploitation
thereof authorized by this Agreement. Such maintenance and support services
shall be of a scope and at rates comparable to those of and at which Corage
makes (or causes to be made) similar maintenance and support services available
to its customers generally or, if it does not make such services available to
its customers generally, it shall do so at market rates. For purposes of the
determination of rates and other terms and conditions for the maintenance and
support services, DSPGL, its successor and assigns, and its and their
Affiliates shall be treated as a single customer. The maintenance and support
services provided under this Section 2.4 shall include:
7
(a) providing error corrections and other modifications to the Existing
Cores and Other Transferable Licensing IP, telephone and email support, and
assistance in diagnosis and remedying of errors and defects in the Existing
Cores and the Other Transferable Licensing IP, each in accordance with
Corage's standard support policies and practices; and
(b) providing updates, upgrades, new versions and successors to the
Existing Cores and Other Transferable Licensing IP, provided that Corage
shall have no obligation under this Section 2.4(b) until the Parties enter
into a maintenance and support services agreement expressly covering such
updates, upgrades, new versions or successor versions. The Parties shall
negotiate the terms and conditions of a maintenance and support services
agreement which is reasonably acceptable to both Parties.

CONFIDENTIALITY
SECTION 8.1. Disclosure Limitation. Each Party (as Receiving Party) shall
use the same care and measures to protect the confidentiality of the

Receiving Party uses for its own confidential or proprietary information or
material of a similar nature, but no less than a reasonable degree of care.
Such measures shall include instructing and requiring all recipients of
Confidential Information to maintain the confidentiality of such Confidential
Information and restricting disclosure of such Confidential Information to
those Representatives of the Receiving Party and its Affiliates, its and their
contractors, suppliers and licensees, and other authorized third parties who
have a "need to know" consistent with the purposes for which such Confidential
Information is disclosed. The Receiving Party further agrees not to remove or
destroy any proprietary rights or confidentiality legends or markings placed

inherent in any commercial activities authorized by this Agreement.
SECTION 8.2. Permitted Disclosures. Notwithstanding Section 8.1, the

of any rule, regulation, or form of any Governmental Authority or by
interrogatories, requests for information or documents by any Governmental
Authority or other Person in legal proceedings, subpoenas, civil investigative
demands, or other similar processes) to disclose such Confidential Information,
provided that the Receiving Party so required shall provide the Disclosing
Party with prompt written notice of any such requirement so that the Disclosing
Party may object to production and seek a protective order or other appropriate
remedy, and/or waive compliance with the provisions of this Agreement. If the
Disclosing Party objects to production and seeks a protective order or other

matter of such right or license), and (2) a successor or assign of DSPGL or
Corage shall have the right to exercise the rights and licenses granted to such

to the same extent as DSPGL or Corage, in accordance with Section 12.8.
SECTION 11.8. Subject to Third Party Rights. Notwithstanding anything else

or convey, provided that such Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts
