U.S. patent or copyright of any third party, and shall pay any damages finally

a claim and any amounts agreed to in settlement of such a claim, provided that
Customer (a) promptly notifies Copper Mountain in writing of the claim, (b)
gives Copper Mountain the sole authority to control the defense and settlement
of the claim, and (c) cooperates and, at Copper Mountain's request and expense,
assists in the defense of the claim.

Copper Mountain's opinion is likely to occur, Copper Mountain may, at its
option, (a) procure for Customer the right to use the infringing Equipment, (b)
replace the infringing Equipment with non-infringing substitute equipment of
equal grade and quality, or (c) refund to Customer the Purchase Price paid for
the infringing Equipment. If Customer continues to use Equipment after

infringes a third party's rights, Customer shall be responsible for any
liability resulting from such continued use of the Equipment.
8.3 Exclusions. Copper Mountain shall have no liability to Customer for any
claim described in Section 8.1 if the claim is based on or arises from
Customer's (a) improper or unauthorized use or modification of the Equipment, or

items not furnished by Copper Mountain (or authorized by Copper Mountain in
writing for such combination or use), if the claim would not have arisen but for

balance of the Purchase Price for such Equipment; and

shall notify Customer at least six months in advance to permit Customer to
procure a sufficient stock of spare parts.
13.2 Supply for Repairs. Customer shall be responsible for purchasing and
maintaining an adequate supply of spare parts to complete both warranty and non-

parts, the time allowed for Copper Mountain to complete warranty repairs shall
be extended by the amount of time needed for Copper Mountain to assemble and
ship the necessary spare parts to the location where the Network Equipment is
installed and operated.

As Copper Mountain develops and offers for sale and licenses to its
customers additional or next generation Network Equipment products and
Subscriber Equipment products during the Term, Copper Mountain shall offer such

such case, the parties shall negotiate in good faith the pricing and other
appropriate terms and conditions relating specifically to such products in a
manner consistent with each party's obligations under this Agreement.

is duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of the
place of its establishment or incorporation; (b) such party has taken all action
necessary to authorize it to enter into this Agreement and perform its
obligations under this Agreement; (c) this Agreement shall constitute the legal,
valid and binding obligations of such party; and (d) neither the execution of
this Agreement, nor the performance of such party's obligations hereunder, shall
conflict with, result in a breach of, or constitute a default under any
provision of the Articles of Incorporation, business license, Bylaws or similar
organizational documents of such party, or of any law, rule, regulation,
authorization or approval of any government entity, or of any agreement to which
it is a party or by which it is bound.
16. General Provisions
16.1 Force Majeure. Neither party shall be liable to the other party, under
this Agreement or otherwise, for any delay or lack of performance (other than
non-payment) resulting from an event of Force Majeure (as defined below). If a
Force Majeure event occurs, the party
9.
prevented from performing its obligations under this Agreement shall inform the
other party as soon as possible and the time period for performance shall be
extended by a period equivalent to the delay caused by the Force Majeure event
plus any additional period reasonably necessary to allow the prevented party to
resume performance of its obligations. The prevented party shall inform the
other party as soon as possible after the Force Majeure event ends. If the Force
Majeure event lasts for more than 120 consecutive days after the initial notice
of such event, the parties shall attempt in good faith to solve the problem of
further performance of this Agreement through friendly consultation. If the
parties cannot solve the problem of further performance within an additional 60
days, either party may terminate this Agreement without penalty. As used above,
an event of "Force Majeure" means any act of God, war, fire, typhoon, flood,
earthquake, natural disasters, governmental action, labor disruptions, materials
shortages, or any other event beyond the reasonable control of the prevented
party.
16.2 Assignment. Neither party may assign this Agreement or any right under
this Agreement, nor delegate any obligation under this Agreement, without the
other party's prior written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld),

assign this entire Agreement in connection with a merger, reorganization, or
sale of all or substantially all of its assets to a third party; (b) assign part
or all of this Agreement to one or more of its affiliates; and (c) subcontract
portions of its obligations under this Agreement as long as the assigning party
remains responsible for such obligations. Any attempted assignment or
delegation in contravention of this Section 16.2 shall be void.
16.3 Non-Waiver; Severability. Any delay or failure by either party to
exercise any right or remedy under this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver
of such right or remedy thereafter or of any other right or remedy. If any
provision of this Agreement is determined to be unenforceable, the remaining
provisions shall remain in full force and effect.
16.4 Notices. All notices and other communications provided for hereunder
shall be in writing and shall be mailed by first-class, registered or certified

the termination thereof, and the parties cannot resolve the dispute within
thirty (30) days of a written request by either party to the other party, the
parties agree to hold a meeting, attended by individuals with decision-making
authority regarding the dispute, to attempt in good faith to negotiate a

negotiating a resolution of the dispute, such dispute shall be submitted to

regulations of the American Arbitration Association (the "AAA") relating to
voluntary arbitrations. The arbitration shall be held in San Diego, California.

arbitration shall be entitled to recover from the other party actual attorneys'
fees, costs and expenses incurred by the prevailing party in connection with
such arbitration. The decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding on
the parties. The arbitrator shall prepare and deliver to the parties a written,
reasoned opinion conferring its decision. Judgment on the award so rendered may
be entered in any court having competent jurisdiction thereof. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, Copper
11.
Mountain shall have the unequivocal right to obtain timely injunctive from a
court of law pursuant to Section 16.9.

duplication, distribution or disclosure of any Confidential Information received

timely injunctive relief to protect its intellectual property rights.
