|
||||
POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. IN NO EVENT WILL BROADCOM’S LIABILITY WHETHER IN
|
||||
CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), OR OTHERWISE, EXCEED THE AMOUNT PAID BY
|
||||
LICENSEE FOR SOFTWARE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT. THESE LIMITATIONS SHALL APPLY
|

||||
however that 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 Broadcom, and any such attempted assignment shall
|
||||
be void. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Licensee may assign this Agreement to

the remainder of this Agreement shall not be affected if the illegal or

||||
Agreement. If the illegal or unenforceable provision materially affects the

intent of the parties to this Agreement, this Agreement shall become

Accordingly, Licensee agrees that Broadcom shall have the right to seek and
|
||||
obtain immediate injunctive relief to enforce obligations under the Agreement
|
||||
in addition to any other rights and remedies it may have.
|
||||
|
||||
