otherwise use all Skyworks

Software that may be reasonably required by Conexant for the sole purpose of
performing IT Services under this Agreement.

2.2 SKYWORKS HARDWARE. Skyworks hereby grants to Conexant, at no
charge, the nonexclusive right to use Skyworks Hardware that may be reasonably
required by Conexant for the sole purpose of performing IT Services under this
Agreement.

2.3 REQUIRED CONSENTS

(a) Prior to giving Conexant access to any Skyworks
Software or Skyworks Hardware, Skyworks will use [commercially reasonable
efforts] to obtain all consents, approvals, and agreements that may be required
from third parties for the grant of rights under Sections 2.1 and 2.2 and for
Conexant to perform the IT Services ("Skyworks Required Consents").

(b) Prior to giving Skyworks access to any Conexant
Software or Conexant Hardware, Conexant will use [commercially reasonable
efforts] to obtain all consents, approvals, and agreements that may be required
from third parties for the grant of rights under Section 2.4 ("Conexant Required
Consents").

(c) Skyworks will pay any and all fees or costs
associated with acquiring any and all Skyworks Required Consents and Conexant
Required Consents. If, after using [commercially reasonable efforts], Skyworks
does not obtain any Skyworks Required Consent or Conexant does not obtain any
Conexant Required Consent, and Conexant is unable to perform any or all IT
Services without infringing any third party rights or breaching the terms of its
contracts as a result thereof, the Parties will meet to mutually agree upon
alternative approaches to permit Conexant to perform the IT Services.
Alternative approaches may include Skyworks purchasing the rights to use such
Software or Hardware pursuant to Section 2.4 or adjustments to the scope of the
IT Services, the Service Levels and the charges for the IT Services. If an
alternative approach is not agreed upon and adopted, then Conexant will be
relieved of its obligations under this Agreement, and the charges for such IT
Services or Services Levels adjusted accordingly, to the extent that Conexant's
ability to perform is hindered, delayed or prevented due to Conexant's inability
to access or use, or permit Skyworks to access or use, the affected Software or
Hardware.

2.4 USE OF SUPPORTED HARDWARE AND SUPPORTED SOFTWARE. To the
extent consents or approvals of third party vendors are not required, or are
obtained pursuant to Section 2.3, Conexant hereby grants to Skyworks a
nonexclusive, nontransferable license to use the Supported Hardware and
Supported Software for the Washington Business for as long as Skyworks pays for
the IT Services related to such Supported Hardware or Supported Software during
the Term. If, after using [commercially reasonable efforts] Conexant does not
obtain any required consents and approvals and adjustments are not agreed to
pursuant to Section 2.3, or if the Parties determine that additional Software or
Hardware is necessary to operate the Washington Business, Skyworks will buy such
Software or Hardware and provide Conexant with the right to use such Software or
Hardware for the sole purpose of performing IT Services under this Agreement in
accordance with Sections 2.1, 2.2 and 2.3. To avoid any ambiguity, Software or
Hardware purchased, leased or licensed by Skyworks under this Section 2.4 shall
be Skyworks Software and Skyworks Hardware, respectively.

2.5 RETURN OF HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE; CONTINUED USE

(a) Within 15 business days of the effective date of
termination of any Tower of Service, Skyworks shall physically return to

Service on Attachment J.1 and delete all Conexant Software set forth opposite
such terminated Tower of Service on Attachment J.2 from Skyworks personal
computers (i.e. EPO, SMS) and servers, unless otherwise negotiated with the head
of Conexant IT operations or such Conexant Hardware or Conexant Software is
transferred to Skyworks pursuant to Section 2.6. If Skyworks continues to use
Supported Hardware or Supported Software, or does not return or delete it as
required, irrespective of use, after termination, Conexant will continue to xxxx
Skyworks, and Skyworks will be required to pay, for use of such Supported
Hardware or Supported Software.

(b) Within 15 business days of the effective date of
termination of any Tower of Service, Conexant shall physically return to
Skyworks all Skyworks Hardware and delete all Skyworks Software from Conexant
personal computers and servers, unless otherwise negotiated with the head of
Skyworks IT operations.

2.6 TRANSFER OF CONEXANT SOFTWARE AND CONEXANT HARDWARE

(a) Promptly following the Effective Date, Conexant will
use commercially reasonable efforts to transfer the licenses for the Supported
Software that are identified on Attachment J.2 (the "Identified Licenses"). The
transfer of the Identified Licenses will occur no later than December 31, 2002,
may be subject to restrictions on transfer imposed by third-party vendors and
will only be transferred to the extent such transfer does not impair Conexant's
use of any Identified License. As consideration for, and upon the transfer of,
an Identified License, Skyworks will pay Conexant the amount set forth in the
"Consideration" column of Attachment J.2 for that Identified License. If, after
using commercially reasonable efforts, Conexant is unable to transfer an
Identified License and Skyworks purchases such license directly from the vendor,
the amount set forth in the "Consideration" column on Attachment J.2 for that
Identified License will not be paid to Conexant. If any fees are required to be
paid to transfer an Identified License, Conexant shall pay such fees; provided
that if such fees, in the aggregate, exceed $200,000, Skyworks shall pay such
excess amount. The parties agree that the transfers discussed above will not
change the Base Services Fee until the Rate Review Date.

(b) Within 5 business days following (i) the effective
date of termination of the IT infrastructure Tower of Service or, if later, (ii)
the date on which Conexant receives a payment of $500,000, Conexant will
transfer ownership to Skyworks all Conexant Hardware set forth on Attachment J.1

2.7 STATISTICAL INFORMATION. Conexant may gather, copy,
distribute, and use nonconfidential IT metrics gathered in connection with
performing the IT Services; provided, that Conexant will not copy, distribute or
use for non-internal purposes statistical information from which Skyworks can
reasonably be identified as the source and Conexant will not identify Skyworks
or its customers to any third party as the source of such statistics.

2.8 OWNERSHIP OF MODIFICATIONS. In the event Conexant, or a third
party engaged by Conexant, develops any upgrades or updates or otherwise
modifies any Conexant Software, with or without the assistance of Skyworks
("Modifications"), Conexant shall retain sole ownership to all such
Modifications. If such Modifications are made in connection with Conexant
providing any IT

Services for Skyworks, Conexant hereby grants to Skyworks a nonexclusive
perpetual, royalty-free license to use such Modifications.

3. SERVICES

3.1 BASE SERVICES. Subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, Conexant will provide to Skyworks, and Skyworks will obtain from
Conexant, the Base Services. The parties agree that Conexant will be the
exclusive provider of the Base Services provided, however, that Skyworks shall
have the right to internally provide such services, excluding data center

to continue to contract with third parties to provide the foregoing or to enter
into new contractual relationships for any of the foregoing. Provided, however,
that should Conexant in the future enter into a contract with a third party or

this Section 3.3, then Conexant shall use commercially reasonable efforts to
include in such contract the right to share the contract with, or to assign the
contract to Skyworks, after the Term. In the event Conexant is not permitted to

Levels. In the event any third-party supplier fails to perform its obligations
related to the IT Services, provided Conexant uses reasonable efforts to cause
such third party to perform, Conexant shall not be responsible for any such
failure to perform and any delay or suspension of IT Services arising from such
failure will not result in any reduction to the Base Services Fee, as defined

described in Section 6.1 below) will

be Skyworks' principal point of contact for Conexant to obtain such cooperation
and assistance. Conexant shall be excused from performing IT Services and
meeting any Service Levels, unless the charges for IT Services and/or Services
Levels are adjusted upon mutual agreement to account for the lack of cooperation
and assistance, but only to the extent Conexant's performance is actually
prevented or hindered by: (i) Skyworks' nonperformance; (ii) the failure by
Skyworks personnel or any Skyworks third-party contractor to adequately perform
its tasks related to the IT Services; (iii) unreasonable, untimely, inaccurate,
or incomplete information from Skyworks; (iv) the failure of any Hardware or
Software that is not the fault of Conexant; and (v) the occurrence of an event
described in Section 13.3.

time to perform the IT Services on behalf of Skyworks (including maintaining,
upgrading, enhancing, and implementing new versions of existing Software) will
be purchased, leased, or licensed by Skyworks in its own name and at its own
expense. Should such purchase, lease or license restrict or prohibit Conexant's
use thereof in connection with the IT Services, then to the extent that
Conexant's performance is actually prevented or hindered by this restriction,
Conexant shall be excused from performing such IT Services and meeting such
Service Levels, and the charges for IT Services and Service Levels shall be
adjusted accordingly.

require Conexant to provide access to any of its Conexant Hardware, Conexant
Software, networks or electronic files and any such access shall be at the
reasonable discretion of Conexant.

9.2 CONEXANT ACCESS. If Conexant is given access to any Skyworks
Hardware, Skyworks Software, networks, electronic files or clean rooms owned or
controlled by Skyworks, Conexant shall limit such access and use solely to the
extent required to provide IT Services under this Agreement and shall not access
or attempt to access any Skyworks Hardware, Skyworks Software, networks,
electronic files or clean rooms, other than those specifically required to
provide the IT Services. Conexant shall limit such access to those with a
requirement to have such access in connection with this Agreement, shall advise
Skyworks in writing of the name of each such person and the duration (from date
and to date) who will be granted such access, and shall comply with all Skyworks
security rules and procedures for use of Skyworks' electronic resources that
have been communicated in writing to Conexant. All user identification numbers
and passwords disclosed to Conexant and any Skyworks Confidential Information
obtained by Conexant as a result of their access to and use of any Skyworks
Hardware, Skyworks Software, networks, electronic files and clean rooms owned or
controlled by Skyworks, shall be deemed to be, and shall be treated as, Skyworks
Confidential Information under applicable provision of this Agreement. Conexant
agrees to cooperate with Skyworks in the investigation of any apparent
unauthorized access by Conexant to any Skyworks Hardware, Skyworks Software,
networks, clean-rooms or electronic files owned or controlled by Skyworks, or
any apparent unauthorized release of Skyworks Confidential Information by
Conexant employees. Nothing in this Agreement shall require Skyworks to provide
access to any of its Skyworks Hardware, Skyworks Software, networks, electronic
files or clean rooms and any

such access shall be at the reasonable discretion of Skyworks; provided, that if
such access is required to perform IT Services and is denied by Skyworks,
Conexant shall be relieved of its obligations to provide those IT Services that
are dependent on access, without any adjustment to the Base Service Fees.

9.3 PHYSICAL ACCESS RIGHTS. Each Party shall only be provided
access to the other Party's data center or data closet in accordance with this
Section 9 during normal business hours, accompanied by an escort of the Party
providing such access, and upon reasonable advanced notice of such access, which

10. LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY

10.1 WAIVER. IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS
OF PROFIT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES
ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY
OF SUCH DAMAGES OCCURRING.

10.2 LIABILITY LIMIT. IN NO EVENT WILL THE AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF
CONEXANT OR SKYWORKS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT EXCEED $1 MILLION.

10.3 BASIS OF THE BARGAIN. EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE MUTUAL

RISK SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT AND THAT NEITHER PARTY WOULD ENTER INTO THIS
AGREEMENT WITHOUT THESE LIMITATIONS ON LIABILITY.

10.4 DISCLAIMER. THE SERVICES PROVIDED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT ARE
PROVIDED "AS IS." CONEXANT MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES UNDER THIS
AGREEMENT, AND CONEXANT DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES,
EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A
PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

11. INDEMNIFICATION

11.1 Skyworks will, at its expense, defend, indemnify, and hold
Conexant harmless from and against any and all claims, actions, demands, suits,
losses, liabilities, judgments, expenses and costs (including reasonable
attorneys' fees and fees of other professionals) ("Claims") (a) arising out of
or related to any failure of Skyworks to obtain Required Consents, (b) alleging
that Conexant's use, in accordance with this Agreement, of any Skyworks
Intellectual Property Rights infringes or misappropriates a third party's
Intellectual Property Rights, or (c) arising out of or relating to any personal
injury (including death) or loss or damage to tangible property (other than data
or information) to the extent such injury or damage is the result of negligence
or wrongful misconduct of Skyworks or its employees. Conexant will use
reasonable efforts to notify Skyworks promptly in writing of any Claim for which
Conexant believes it is entitled to indemnification under this Section 11.1;
however, Skyworks will be relieved of its indemnification obligations under this
Section 11.1 only if and to the extent that the failure to receive prompt notice
materially prejudices Skyworks' ability to defend the Claim. If Conexant tenders
defense of any such Claim to Skyworks, Skyworks

must assume and bear the cost of the defense of the Claim. Conexant may, at its
option and expense, retain its own counsel to participate in any proceeding
related to a Claim.

11.2 Conexant will, at its expense, defend, indemnify, and hold
Skyworks harmless from and against any and all Claims arising out of or relating
to any personal injury (including death) or loss or damage to tangible property
(other than data or information) to the extent such injury or damage is the
result of negligence or wrongful misconduct of Conexant or its employees.
Skyworks will use reasonable efforts to notify Conexant promptly in writing of
any Claim for which Skyworks believes it is entitled to indemnification under
this Section 11.2; however, Conexant will be relieved of its indemnification
obligations under this Section 11.2 only if and to the extent that the failure
to receive prompt notice materially prejudices Conexant's ability to defend the
Claim. If Skyworks tenders defense of any such Claim to Conexant, Conexant must
assume and bear the cost of the defense of the Claim. Skyworks may, at its
option and expense, retain its own counsel to participate in any proceeding
related to a Claim.

11.3 Neither Party shall have the right to settle any Claims in a
manner that would reasonably be expected to materially diminish the rights or
interests of the other Party without such other Party's prior written consent,
which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If the Party to whom the
defense is tendered fails to promptly assume the defense of such Claim, the
other Party may assume the defense of such Claim at the expense of the Party to
whom the defense was tendered.

12. TERM AND TERMINATION

12.1 TERM. The term of this Agreement (the "TERM") will begin on
the Effective Date and will continue until terminated pursuant to this Section
12.

12.2 TERMINATION FOR CONVENIENCE. Examples of termination under
this Section 12.2 are set forth in Attachment H.

(a) On or before each of the following dates: February 1
and August 1 of each year (each, a "Notice Date"), either Party may notify of
the intent to terminate this Agreement with respect to any Tower of Service by
providing the other Party with at least six (6) months advance written notice of
termination, unless the Parties mutually agree to a shorter period of notice.
The effective date of termination of any Tower of Service pursuant to the
previous sentence shall be six (6) months from the applicable Notice Date,
whether such notice is delivered on or before such Notice Date. In the event
either Party delivers notice of termination to the other Party pursuant to this
Section, the recipient of such notice shall have five (5) business days to
respond to such notice, during which time, the recipient Party may elect to
terminate (1) a Tower of Service described in (i), (ii) or (iii) of Section 1.26
if the other Party delivers notice of termination of a Tower of Service
described in (i), (ii) or (iii) of Section 1.26, or (2) a Tower of Service
described in (iv) or (v) of Section 1.26 if the other Party delivers notice of
termination of a Tower of Service described in (iv) or (v) of Section 1.26.

(b) If a Party has a justifiable concern regarding the
continuation of any Tower of Service, on or before the next Notice Date, such
Party may provide the other Party written notice of its intent to evaluate
termination of a Tower of Service on or before a date that is three (3) months
following the applicable Notice Date (an "Evaluation Date"). If any such notice
of evaluation is delivered in good faith, the Party delivering such notice may
elect to terminate the applicable Tower of Service on or before the applicable
Evaluation Date, which termination shall be effective six (6)

months following such Evaluation Date. If notice of termination is not received
by the applicable Evaluation Date, the expressed concern shall be deemed
alleviated.

(c) If either Party delivers notice of termination as set
forth in 12.2(a) or (b), such Party shall have up to ninety days (90) days to
request an extension. The Tower of Service shall then be extended for six (6)
months beyond the otherwise effective date of termination. The Parties may
mutually agree to adjust the applicable IT Services, Service Levels and charges
relating to the affected Tower of Service to reflect reduced IT Services during
such extension period.

(d) Only after delivery of notice of termination of a
particular Tower of Service in accordance with this Section 12.2, Skyworks may
utilize a third party for any such Tower of Service to ensure a smooth
transition away from Conexant by the time such Tower of Service is terminated.
In the event of termination of a Tower of Service, Conexant will use reasonable
efforts to assist Skyworks in the transition of such services, including, but
not limited to, data migration in a mutually agreed upon format, provided such
assistance does not unreasonably interfere with ordinary business operations of
Conexant.

12.3 TERMINATION FOR CAUSE. Each Party may terminate this Agreement
immediately, upon written notice, (i) if the other Party breaches any material
term of this Agreement and fails to cure such breach within thirty (30) days
after receipt by the breaching Party of written notice from the non-breaching
Party describing such breach; (ii) upon the institution by or against the other
Party of insolvency, receivership or bankruptcy proceedings or any other
proceedings for the settlement of the other Party's debts, (iii) upon the other
Party's making an assignment for the benefit of creditors, (iv) upon the other
Party's dissolution or ceasing to conduct business in the normal course, see
13.4 assignability or (v) the other Party's failure to pay its debts as they
mature in the ordinary course of business.

12.4 TERMINATION FOR PAYMENT DEFAULT. Conexant may terminate this
Agreement immediately, upon written notice, (i) if the Skyworks fails to satisfy
its payment obligations when due under the terms of this Agreement and fails to
cure such breach within ten (10) days after receipt of written notice from
Conexant of a Payment Default, or (ii) any time after Skyworks has failed to
satisfy its payment obligations when due under the terms of this Agreement on
three separate occasions. The Parties agree that Conexant's right to terminate
this Agreement under this Section shall not apply to amounts that are in dispute
and are in the process of being resolved in accordance with Section 13.2.

12.5 SURVIVAL. Sections 1, 2.5, 2.6, 7, 8, 10, 11 and 13 shall
survive termination of this Agreement for any reason.

12.6 FIRST CONSIDERATION. At the time that Skyworks discontinues
utilizing Conexant, in part or in total, as its IT service provider, Skyworks
will give Conexant IT employees first consideration for employment with Skyworks
in lieu of reduction in force by Conexant.

12.7 EMPLOYEE TERMINATION. Within ten (10) business days of receipt
of termination notification of any Tower of Service, payment of retention and
severance packages, if any, will be mutually agreed to in writing by the Chief
Information Officers and designated human resources officers of each Party. If
agreement cannot be reached within such ten (10) day period, all Service Levels
and charges relating to the terminated Tower of Servic e may be adjusted
accordingly to the extent that Service Levels or charges are affected by the
Parties inability to agree on retention and

severance packages. After receipt of termination notification of any Tower of
Service, the Parties shall meet monthly to discuss resolution of retention and
severance packages.

12.8 PASSWORDS AND DATA. Provided that termination of a Tower of
Service is not the result of a breach by Skyworks, upon termination of a Tower
of Service, Conexant will (i) deliver to Skyworks such passwords or other access
codes associated with the terminated Tower of Service as deemed appropriate in
Conexant's reasonable discretion and (ii) as soon as practicable, return all
Skyworks data to Skyworks in a mutually agreed upon format. Conexant shall not
be required to return data to Skyworks that is not readily separable from
Conexant data without compromising Conexant data or otherwise impeding the
operations of Conexant.

13.2 CHOICE OF LAW; DISPUTE RESOLUTION.

(a) This Agreement and the rights and obligations of the
Parties hereunder shall be governed by the substantive laws of the State of
California applicable to contracts made and to be performed therein, without
reference to principles of conflicts of laws. In the event that any dispute,
claim or controversy (collectively, a "Dispute") arises out of or relates to any
provision of this Agreement or the breach, performance or validity or invalidity
thereof, an appropriate authorized manager of Conexant and an appropriate
authorized manager of Skyworks shall attempt a good faith resolution of such
Dispute within thirty (30) days after either Party notifies the other of such
Dispute. If such Dispute is not resolved within thirty (30) days of such
notification, such Dispute will be referred for resolution to the Skyworks
President and the Conexant Chief Executive Officer. Should they be unable to
resolve such Dispute within thirty (30) days following such referral to them, or
within such other time as they may agree, Skyworks and Conexant shall submit
such Dispute to binding arbitration, initiated and conducted in accordance with
the then-existing American Arbitration Association Commercial Arbitration Rules,
before a single arbitrator selected jointly by Conexant and Skyworks. If
Conexant and Skyworks cannot agree upon the identity of an arbitrator within ten
(10) days after the arbitration process is initiated, then the arbitration shall
be conducted before three (3) arbitrators, one (1) selected by Conexant, one (1)
selected by Skyworks, and the third selected by the first two. The arbitration
shall be conducted in the County of Orange, California and shall be governed by
the United States Arbitration Act, 9 USC Section 116, and judgment upon the
award may be entered by any court having jurisdiction thereof. The
arbitrator(s) shall have case management authority and shall resolve the Dispute
in a final award within one hundred eighty (180) days from the commencement of
the arbitration action, subject to any extension of time thereof allowed by the
arbitrators upon good cause shown. There shall be no appeal from the arbitral
award, except for fraud committed by an arbitrator in carrying out his or her
duties under the aforesaid rules; otherwise the Parties irrevocably waive their
rights to judicial review of any Dispute arising out of or related to this
Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either Party may pursue immediate
equitable relief in the event of a breach of Section 8 or an alleged violation
or misappropriation of the Intellectual Property Rights of either Party.

(b) During any period in which the Parties are resolving
a Dispute pursuant to this Section 13.2, the Parties shall continue to provide
the services and support pursuant to the terms of this Agreement; provided,
however, that (i) if the Parties jointly determine that any such services or
support shall be suspended during the period in which the Parties are resolving
a Dispute, then the deadlines and time periods in which such services and/or
support are to be provided pursuant to this Agreement (as described herein)
shall be extended for the same amount of time as the services and/or support
were suspended, and (ii) if the Dispute pertains to the payment of fees due
under the terms of this Agreement or any Additional Services Order, the Party
claiming entitlement to such fees may suspend the provision of services until
the other Party pays such amounts in Dispute or deposits such amounts with a
neutral third party in escrow for distribution upon resolution of the Dispute.

13.3 FORCE MAJEURE. Neither Party will be liable for delays or
failure to perform the Services if due to any cause or conditions beyond its
reasonable control, including delays or failures due to acts of God, natural
disasters, acts of civil or military authority, fire, flood, earthquake,
strikes, wars, or utility disruptions (shortage of power).

13.4 ASSIGNMENT. Neither Party shall assign or subcontract its
rights and obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of
the other Party, which may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Party may assign, delegate

or sublicense all or any portion of its rights and obligations under this
Agreement to (i) the surviving entity resulting from a merger or consolidation
involving such Party, (ii) the acquiring entity of a sale or other disposition
of all or substantially all of the assets of such Party as a whole or of any
line of business or division of such Party, or (iii) any other party that is
created as a result of a spin-off from, or similar reorganization transaction
of, such Party or any line of business or division of such Party, including,
without limitation, a subsidiary of Conexant into which the assets of Conexant's
information technology organization are transferred; provided that, in no event
shall either Party assign delegate or sublicense any of its rights or
obligations under this Agreement to any party that is engaged in a business that
is similar to or competitive with the other Party without such other Party's
prior written consent, which may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. In the
event of an assignment pursuant to (ii) or (iii) above, Skyworks and Conexant
shall, at the assigning Party's request, use good faith, commercially reasonable
efforts to enter into separate agreements with each of the resulting entities
and take such further actions as may be reasonably required to assure that the
rights and obligations under this Agreement are preserved, in the aggregate, and
divided equitably between such entities.

13.5 ENTIRE AGREEMENT; AMENDMENT; WAIVERS. This Agreement, together
with all Attachments hereto, constitutes the entire agreement between the
Parties pertaining to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior
agreements, understandings, negotiations and discussions, whether oral or
written, of the Parties. No supplement, modification or waiver of this Agreement
shall be binding unless executed in writing by the Party to be bound thereby. No
waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed or shall
constitute a waiver of any other provision hereof (whether or not similar), nor
shall such waiver constitute a continuing waiver unless otherwise expressly
provided.

13.6 INVALIDITY. In the event that any one or more of the
provisions contained in this Agreement or in any other instrument referred to
herein, is, for any reason, held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any
respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any
other provision of this Agreement or any other such instrument and the invalid,
illegal or unenforceable provision shall be deemed modified so as to be valid,
legal and enforceable to the maximum extent allowed under applicable law.

means "including but not limited to." The Parties have participated jointly in
the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. If an ambiguity or question of
intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted

disfavoring any Party by virtue of the authorship of any provisions of this
Agreement.

that of independent contractors.

consent, during the Term of this Agreement and for a period of twelve (12)
months thereafter, each Party agrees not to hire, contract with, or solicit for
hire any IT personnel previously employed by such other Party in the twelve (12)
months immediately preceding such hiring, contracting, or soliciting and with

connection with the performance of IT Services during the Term of this

agreement. The right to use may be for internal use by the Corporation,
incorporation in products sold to a customer, or delivery to a customer.

AUTHENTICATION TOKEN DEVICE - Portable device that employs one-time password
technology to authenticate a user. Authentication tokens operate by time-based
code sequences (synchronous), challenge-response (asynchronous) or other
techniques. Authentication token devices are assigned to authorized users and
are used as one of two factors in strong authentication. When used in
conjunction with a Personal Identification Number or password, authentication
token devices provide strong authentication.

AUTHORIZING AGREEMENT - A written agreement which contains conditions governing
the copying, disclosure, and use of protected computer software. The authorizing
agreement may either be expressly negotiated with an owner or authorized
licensor of protected computer software or a form agreement that accompanies
packaged software.

extended into non- Conexant facilities, but may not be connected to that
facilities network unless firewalls are utilized.

FIREWALL - An integrated configuration of filtering, encrypting and logging
devices, and/or secure application gateways, and proxies that are positioned
between networks.

GATEWAY - A dedicated server that interconnects two different services or
applications (e.g., a gateway for internal and external e-mail service
connections).

GUEST USER ACCOUNT - A LogonID and password which is not issued to a person, but
rather established for casual or convenient access to a systems. Establishing
such accounts shall be prohibited.

INFORMATION SECURITY ADMINISTRATION OF SENSITIVE TASKS - The administration of
those tasks which oversee access of external, un-trusted systems or networks to
internal, trusted Conexant systems or networks. This would include but not be
limited to the principal information security officer of a business, firewall
administrators, hosts systems security administrators, router administrators,

confidentially or competitive reasons.

SOHO - Small Office/Home Office (high-speed connection, i.e. DSL; cable modem).

STATIC PASSWORD - A password that can be used repeatedly with an associated
LogonID. Static passwords generally expire after pre-established timeframes
(e.g., 30, 60, 90 days).

STRONG AUTHENTICATION - Generally referred to as a two-factor verification
process used to positively authenticate the identity of a user attempting to
gain access to a system. The first factor is something you possess (i.e.,
authentication token, finger print, retinal vascular pattern, encryption keys)
and the second factor is something only you would know (i.e., Personal
Identification Number (PIN) or password). These two factors used together
constitute strong authentication.

TRUSTED NETWORK - is a network that is owned or controlled by Conexant that is
protected from non-authorized entry or use by non-Conexant personnel. Sometimes
referred to as an internal network'.

been given legal access by Conexant management or administrators in accordance
with established security procedures, baselines, and policies.

UNSECURED FAX MACHINES - Those fax machines, which do not encrypt the faxes that
are sent through them.

UN-TRUSTED NETWORK - is any network that is not administered or overseen by
Conexant personnel. This would include the Internet, Conexant's supplier
networks, customers' networks, and Conexant's partners' networks. Even a
Conexant private network is deemed "un-trusted" if unauthorized access is
allowed through dialup, IPX, DECNET, AppleTalk, etc. on any nonisolated segment
of the divisional network. Obviously, not all un-trusted networks are equally
dangerous. The Internet is the least trusted of all networks, and requires the
most stringent security precautions.

VIRTUAL PRIVATE NETWORK (VPN) - required when a Conexant office or employee is
utilizing the Internet to communicate with the Conexant Intranet. A VPN will
encrypt the data as it traverses the Internet to provide security.
Authentication is required when using client VPN's for SOHO and Remote Access.
IP Security Protocol (IPSEC) is the preferred solution for deploying client
VPN's and the required solution when deploying LAN to LAN VPN's.

TO BE REVIEWED BY HR/LEGAL DEPTS

SAFEGUARDING COMPANY SENSITIVE INFORMATION

PURPOSE

Company Sensitive Information is a valuable asset of the Corporation and will be
protected and used only to promote Corporation interests. The courts have
generally provided protection for Company Sensitive Information, such as
formulas, patterns, devices, or compilations of scientific, technical or
commercial information (including computer programs and databases), provided the
owner has taken reasonable precautions to maintain it as confidential and such
information gives the owner a competitive advantage over others who do not know
it.

GENERAL

The identification, availability and dissemination of Company Sensitive
Information shall be governed by the following principles:

a. Proprietary Information shall be prominently marked with the legend
"Conexant Proprietary Information." Company Official Information shall
be prominently marked with the legend "Company Official (Not to be
disclosed to unauthorized persons)." Exceptions to these requirements
are specified in paragraph c., below.

b. The employee who originates Company Sensitive Information and the
employee's supervisor are responsible for ensuring that such
information is properly marked upon its origination and is safeguarded
in accordance with this Policy.

c. Company Sensitive Information otherwise requiring markings in
accordance with this Policy need not be so marked when the EC (or a
direct report to whom such authority has been expressly delegated)
determines that it is not practicable or necessary to xxxx it, that it
is for internal use only, and that all the following precautions are in
effect and are reasonable to protect unmarked Company Sensitive
Information:

1. Access thereto is restricted to a limited number of employees
having a "need to know" in order to carry out their duties;

2. Those employees allowed access thereto are made aware of its
sensitive nature; and

3. Procedures have been established to prevent the release
thereof outside the Corporation unless it is appropriately
marked before release.

d. The release, either written or oral, of Company Sensitive Information
to persons, firms or organizations outside the Corporation is
authorized only:

1. If it is appropriately marked and a confidentiality agreement
has been entered into between the recipient and the
Corporation;

2. If required by a final order, no longer subject of stay or
appeal, of a court of law of competent jurisdiction.

3. If furnished to the United States Government as material
exempt from disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act.

4. Upon approval of the EC (or a direct report to whom such
authority has been expressly delegated).

G-8

e. Company Sensitive Information shall always be kept from "open view" by
unauthorized persons and shall be handled, transmitted and stored in a
manner consistent with its importance.

f. Employees having access to Company Sensitive Information who are
terminating or transferring shall be interviewed as to their
responsibilities with respect to Company Sensitive Information.
Interview guidelines or procedures shall be established in business
units, with the advice and assistance of the Office of the General
Counsel. The terminating or transferring employee shall be alerted to
the legal consequences of (i) using or disclosing Company Sensitive
Information for any purpose not expressly authorized by the Company,
with the advice and assistance of the Office of the General Counsel,
and (ii) retaining or using any correspondence, notes, depictions,
models, data, experimental results or any other manifestation of
Company Sensitive Information.

g. The supervisor of a terminating or transferring employee having access
to Company Sensitive Information shall require the employee to deliver
promptly to the supervisor all materials, including documents and
software which may contain Company Sensitive Information, and to
acknowledge in writing that all such materials so required to be
delivered have been delivered.

UNAUTHORIZED RELEASE

Any employee having knowledge of any unauthorized disclosure or removal of
Company Sensitive Information will promptly inform his or her immediate
supervisor and the Office of the General Counsel.

G-9

USE AND MONITORING OF COMPUTING RESOURCES

PURPOSE

This policy provides guidance to employees on the proper use of the Company's
Computing Resources, including use of the Internet and electronic mail. It is
not intended to cover every imaginable situation that could arise concerning the
use of such resources. When in doubt as to the proper use of Computing
Resources, employees should ask their managers or, if appropriate, Human
Resources.

CONTENTS:

- POLICY

A. PERSONAL USE

B. SECURITY

C. INTERNET

D. ELECTRONIC MAIL

E. MONITORING

F. OWNERSHIP OF DATA

G. RESPONSIBILITIES

POLICY

Computing Resources will continue to play an important part in the Company's
ongoing success. While this policy directs Company managers to use their
discretion in making responsible decisions concerning appropriate use of the
resources they manage, it is grounded in the fundamental trust that all
employees behave responsibly and use good judgment when using these resources.
Although the Company intends that these resources be used for business purposes,
occasional personal use may occur without adversely affecting the Company's
interests.

Employees are expected to exercise good judgment in using Computing Resources.
Managers are responsible for the Computing Resources assigned to their
respective organizations and are empowered to resolve issues concerning their
proper use under the guidance of local information technology personnel. Use of
Computing Resources for non-Company purposes is appropriate only when consistent
with this Policy. Any personal use of Computing Resources must not result in
significant added costs, disruption of business processes, or any other
disadvantage to the Company.

Employees can unknowingly compromise the security and integrity of Company
information and Computing Resources through the improper use of such resources.
Employees are accountable for their use of Computing Resources and must ensure
that they are familiar with and abide by relevant security restrictions and
information technology policies of the Company.

A. PERSONAL USE

Computing Resources are provided for the conduct of Company business. However,
personal use by employees, including use of the Internet and electronic mail,
may occur within the following guidelines:

- It is of reasonable duration and frequency;

- It does not interfere with Company business, an employee's or
co-worker's performance or assigned duties, or the performance of the
employee's organization;

- It does not cause the Company to incur additional costs;

- It is not related to any illegal activity or the conduct of an outside
business;

- It would not cause embarrassment to the Company.

G-10

Issues concerning appropriate personal use of Computing Resources within a
particular business or work group are to be resolved by the management of that
organization in conjunction with Human Resources

B. SECURITY

All employees are responsible for ensuring that:

- Computing Resources remain on Company property, unless use in another
location has been authorized by local management;

- Measures are taken to protect Company sensitive and/or proprietary
information resident on Computing Resources from unauthorized access,
use or removal.

- Personal use of Computing Resources, including the downloading of
software or other use of the Internet, does not compromise the security
or integrity of Company information or software.

C. INTERNET

1. Transmitting Data

The Internet is a public network; users cannot expect that data
transmitted over the Internet will be kept private. Company sensitive
and/or proprietary information must not be transmitted over the
Internet unless it is first encrypted. Employees should keep in mind
that all messages transmitted over the Internet from Computing
Resources bear a Company address and may be attributed to the Company.

2. Downloading Software

Use of software obtained from the Internet or other on-line sources may
expose the Company to significant legal liability, unless the user
takes measures to ensure that the vendor has good title, and pertinent
licensing provisions permit the user's intended use. Downloading of
such software may also compromise the security and integrity of
Computing Resources. For these reasons, employees may download or use
software derived from the Internet or other on-line sources only in
accordance with guidelines established by management and approved by
Information Technology. If there is any question as to the propriety of
such downloading or use, employees should seek prior approval of
management. In no event, may such software be incorporated, either
directly or in derivative form, in a product of or provision of service
by the Company, unless the Company has first entered into a written
license agreement with the software vendor pursuant to Corporate
Policy.

D. ELECTRONIC MAIL

E-mail messages are stored on the sender's and recipient's local hard drives
and/or mail servers and may be recorded on back-up tapes by the Company. In
order to reduce the unnecessary proliferation of e-mail, employees should limit
their dissemination of e-mail to those persons who have a need to know and
should delete e-mail messages as soon as practicable after receipt.

Local information systems personnel shall ensure that back-up tapes made by the
Company of e-mail system repositories on Company networks are retained for no
more than seven days.

E. MONITORING

The Company reserves the right to monitor any use of Computing Resources,
whether business or personal, and to inspect, copy or delete any message or file
transmitted, received or stored

G-11

on Computing Resources, at any time with or without notice to users. Computer
Security shall coordinate and approve all such monitoring requests.

F. OWNERSHIP OF DATA

All data, which is generated by means of Computing Resources for business
purposes, is the property of the Company and may be used by the Company without
limitation. Data may not be copyrighted, patented, leased or sold by individuals
or otherwise used for personal gain.

G-12

The purpose of this policy is to ensure that the Corporation's computing
resources and associated information are adequately protected by establishing
mandatory internal controls.

CONTENTS

A. SCOPE

B. PHYSICAL SECURITY

C. INFORMATION SECURITY

D. NETWORK SECURITY

E. DISASTER RECOVERY AND BUSINESS RESUMPTION AND PROBLEM ESCALATION

POLICY

It is the policy of the Corporation that adequate protection be provided to
ensure confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the company's computing
resources and related information.

A. SCOPE

Controls specified in this policy are applicable to all computing resources
owned or operated in behalf of all locations and subsidiaries of Conexant to
process, store, and/or transmit information, wherein:

- There is a risk that Company assets could be misappropriated;

- There is a risk that privacy legislation could be violated;

protected screen savers will be utilized in the period of no more than ten (10)
minutes. System components; such as file servers, gateways, bridges, system
consoles, concentrators, wiring cabinets, etc. shall be located in secured
areas. Uninterruptible power sources and surge suppressers shall be provided for
critical systems to provide for their protection and for the protection of the
information they contain. Use of diagnostic probe equipment (software and
hardware) such as protocol analyzers and sniffers is restricted to authorized
personnel only.

C. INFORMATION SECURITY

User identification and authentication access controls are required by each
person using company resources to ensure that only authorized persons can use
appropriate company computer resources. Access shall be controlled by unique
log-on ID's to identify users to the system, and user authentication mechanisms
(minimum of a password), which verify that users are who they say they are.
Management of authentication and password strength shall be adequate to protect
information resources of the systems being accessed. All system installations
and subsequent changes to multi-user or critical (non-personal) computing
systems or files may be performed only by authorized personnel. Changes to such
equipment, data, and software shall be processed through established change
control procedures.

G-13

Computing resources accessible from non-company locations shall provide for logs
and audit trails to detect and report unauthorized access attempts. Such logs

PURPOSE

The purpose of this security baseline is to establish specific guidance to
protect Conexant's networks, computers, workstations, file servers, and the
information stored on them from unauthorized access, malicious action or
inadvertent disclosures. This baseline establishes the fundamental mandatory
controls and procedural considerations that are necessary to achieve compliance
with Computer Security IT policy.

SCOPE

This Information Security Baseline addresses all configurations of one or more
networked microcomputers and/or workstations. It includes the utilization of
remote and local desktop, laptop, or notebook computers, host computers,
communication servers, remote network switches, file application servers,
routers, network communication lines, remote access devices, interconnected
local area networks (LANs) or wide area networks (WANs) which are used to
transmit, store or process information that is sensitive or critical to
Conexant. At the same time, this baseline is not intended to be an exhaustive
list of Information security imperatives and recommendations, but rather a
minimum requirement.

In those instances when exceptions to this baseline arise, they shall be
documented and approved in a deviation process to be reviewed annually by the
Corporate Chief Security

G-15

Information Director. Records of the exceptions/deviations from this baseline
shall be stored appropriately during the period of the deviation for one year.

The security measures documented in this baseline shall be applied in a manner
that is consistent with the level of sensitivity of the information to Conexant.
The degree to which internal controls are established will vary according to
management's assessment of Conexant's potential exposure to theft, destruction,
alteration, or misuse of Conexant computing resources. In that regard, the
directives specified in this baseline are in the form of:

1. "shall" statements - which are "control" requirements that must be
adhered to by every Conexant location.

AUTHORIZATIONS, AGREEMENTS AND CONTRACTS

To best assure that the key hardware, software and service elements that make up
Conexant's information security infrastructure are compatible with the
guidelines identified in this baseline, contractual provisions need to be
included in the selection and acquisition of these elements. Likewise, all
services provided by contract laborers shall be governed by contract language
that specifies the appropriate use of Conexant's computing resources and the
consequences of misuse.

1. Contractual provisions and compliance procedures with vendors shall be
established regarding the security aspects of their products and
services as applicable.

2. Service agreements shall include ownership, confidentiality, and

1.0 INTRODUCTION

The Internet is a global untrusted network that uses a common protocol, which
connects devices and users around the world. The Internet is a public place and
unprotected communications are not private, nor can their integrity and
confidentiality be guaranteed. Conexant shall take all requisite steps to
safeguard their trusted networks and adhere to the rules and guidelines set
forth in this baseline.

2.0 PURPOSE

The purpose of this baseline is to reduce to acceptable levels the risk entailed
in connecting a trusted Conexant network to the Internet or other untrusted
networks. This baseline sets the standards for securing connections between
Conexant's internal trusted TCP/IP networks and external, untrusted networks,
such as the Internet. This baseline prescribes specific security measures and
requirements for network and system administration, and the configuration,
operation and service use restrictions between untrusted networks and Conexant's
trusted networks. All persons are responsible and accountable for complying with
the network security safeguards established herein.

3.0 SCOPE

The standards and guidelines set forth in this document apply to all connections
that are made to the Internet or any other untrusted network from any Conexant
location.

4.0 RELEVANT POLICIES, BASELINES, AND REFERENCES

Conexant Information Security Baseline
Safeguarding Company Sensitive Information
Acquisition, Dissemination, and Use of Computer Software Owned by Another
Use and Monitoring of Computing Resources

5.0 ACCOUNTABILITIES

The safety and security of Conexant connection to untrusted networks is the
responsibility of Conexant's CIO. Corporate Chief Security Information Director
has oversight responsibilities for all information security activities at the
business, including connections to untrusted networks. Network security
violations of the safeguards described within this baseline must be brought to
the immediate attention of the Corporate Chief Security Information Director.
Requests for firewall changes must be reviewed and approved by corporate
firewall administration to ensure compliance to this baseline. Probing,
scanning, and other activities that may be considered hostile or event
generating shall be performed only with the concurrence of corporate network
security administration
Breaches of Conexant network defenses from untrusted networks must be brought
to the immediate attention of the Corporate Chief Security Information Director
and the CIO. Unauthorized intrusions into Conexant's trusted networks shall be
reviewed by the security incident review board who will inform the CIO.

6.0 FIREWALL ARCHITECTURE

All Conexant connections to untrusted networks shall be secured with a firewall.
Conexant firewalls shall be secured by utilizing industry best practices. Strict
change control, implementation of strong authentication for remote
administration, regular internal audits, adequate physical security,
implementation testing, regular backups, and security incident response
procedures are illustrative of industry best practices for firewall
administration. To the extent feasible, firewall administrators shall maintain
the most current version of firewall devices/software in order to take advantage
of product and security enhancements. Internal, trusted subnets may only contain
devices that utilize IP addresses assigned by the Global Support Group in IT.
Conexant corporate shall act as the coordination point for documenting the RFC
private addresses in use across the company.

G-25

6.1 FILTERING ROUTERS

An important component of the firewall is the filtering router placed between
untrusted networks and the perimeter network. This router xxxxxxx the perimeter
network against dangerous or unwanted untrusted network traffic (see Figure 1
below). Such routers will be referred to hereafter in this document as
'external routers'. External routers shall be configured to only permit
administrative telnet access from a specific, limited number of administrative
hosts. Remote access by administrators to external routers shall require strong
authentication. In those cases where external routers employ fixed or static
password technology, that password file must be encrypted.

6.2 PERIMETER NETWORKS

Perimeter networks logically reside between the company's external routers and
firewalls. They are to be used to host computing resources that must directly
interface with public (untrusted, non-Conexant) systems. Computing resources
resident on perimeter networks must be "security hardened" by removal of all
non-essential programs and services and by conscientious application of
security patches and fixes on a regular basis. Access to trusted Conexant
networks from a perimeter network may only be permitted via a firewall. There
shall be a perimeter network at virtually every interface between Conexant's
trusted networks and an untrusted network.

7.0 PROTOCOL CONTROLS

Conexant businesses shall implement the controls presented in this section into
their firewalls. Applicable gateway and external router controls for each
protocol are presented. All services in the direction of from less secured
networks to more secured networks which are not specifically permitted in the
controls set forth below shall be denied at company firewalls. Documentation of
a specific protocol in section 7 below (whether specifically denied or allowed)
signifies that it has undergone scrutiny and has been dispositioned as stated.

All traffic from the internal interface of the firewall shall be allowed to
pass through the external router.

8.0 AUTHENTICATION

Router administrators shall ensure that default privileged command passwords and
console and virtual terminal line access passwords are changed or assigned
immediately upon installation, and changed thereafter at 90 day intervals. These
passwords shall also be changed within 24 hours whenever router administrators
are terminated or transferred.

Dial-in access by administrators to routers and other sensitive network devices
shall require strong authentication.

Systems that are connected to Conexant's internal trusted networks and which
can be accessed from external networks (including dial-in) must implement
strong authentication mechanisms and comply with applicable Conexant host
security baselines.

9.0 VIRTUAL PRIVATE NETWORK

A VPN shall be required for connectivity between Conexant trusted networks or
Conexant SOHO users when traversing an untrusted network.

10.0 INTERNET INFORMATION SERVERS

Servers such as ftp and World Wide Web have been established throughout Conexant
for rapid dissemination and central updating of public and private information.
These information servers provide fast and convenient information to employees,
customers, suppliers and the general public.

Those who establish such servers must safeguard their security in order to
protect against unauthorized disclosure of sensitive and competitive
information, as well as ensure the integrity of information which they contain

10.1 INFORMATION SERVER GUIDELINES

1. Information available to an untrusted network shall be hosted on the
perimeter networks. Access to company sensitive information from an
UNTRUSTED network to a perimeter network shall require authentication
technologies. Connectivity from the perimeter network to information
within the TRUSTED network shall require strong authentication.

G-33

2. Servers on the perimeter networks shall run with as little privilege as
necessary. If at all possible, server software must not run as "root,"
or "administrator" thus limiting possible damage if an intruder
discovers vulnerability.

3. System administrators shall closely monitor the integrity of the system
and the information to be distributed. Whenever feasible, system
administrators shall run the most secured version of the information
server software which is free of known bugs or vulnerabilities.

11.0 SCREENING OF MALICIOUS SOFTWARE (PENDING ACTION ITEMS)

Executable programs embedded within HTML entering Conexant trusted networks via
HTTP or other protocols will vary across time based upon the state of the
technology. Until security shortcomings are resolved, to the extent possible
Microsoft ActiveX (and follow-on products of like content but different
marketing names) are not allowed into trusted Conexant networks from untrusted,
foreign networks. Java applets may be allowed into Conexant trusted networks
from foreign, untrusted network domains.

12.0 EXTERNAL SERVICE PROVIDERS

Dedicated network connection between to Conexant network security administration
shall be responsible for ensuring the security of all computing services and
connections. When business needs dictate, Conexant networks may, with due
diligence, be extended into non-Conexant facilities, but may not be connected to
that facility's untrusted networks unless firewalls are put into place. Under
conditions where there is no direct Conexant control or supervision of the
non-Conexant users who log on to trusted Conexant networks, logins require
strong authentication. The management of authentication devices remains at all
times the responsibility of the Conexant business unit issuing them. Clearly
defined agreements must be established with third party service providers who
issue Conexant authentication devices to their employees. Those agreements must
spell out the third party's responsibilities in the management and protection of
Conexant's security devices, computing resources, and private data.

13.0 REQUESTS FOR WAIVERS AND BASELINE CHANGES

Requests for waivers and deviations to this IT security baseline shall be sent
to the Corporate Chief Security Information Director.

Each request for waiver and deviation will be considered on an individual basis
and for a specific duration. Any change to the requirement, technical approach,
or other pertinent circumstances on which the request is granted, must be
reported to the Corporate Chief Security Information Director for
reconsideration of the waiver or deviation.

In order to consider the request, as a minimum the following information must
be specified in each written request:

1. Reference to the baseline requirement and technical description of the
requested waiver or deviation.

2. Business justification or contractual requirement.

3. Specific duration of requested waiver or deviation, not to exceed 26
weeks. If the duration is expected to exceed 26 weeks, the request must
be resubmitted for reconsideration prior to expiration of the granted
waiver/deviation duration.

4. Alternative technical approaches and solutions considered/rejected.

5. Requested technical approach and technical point of contact.

G-34

6. Concurrence from the business unit's IT executive that the deviation is
warranted.

Requests to change the Internet Security baseline should be forwarded to the
Corporate Chief Security Information Director, who is the custodian of the
document.
