10.3 The limitations set forth in Sections 10.1 and 10.2 above shall apply notwithstanding any failure of essential purpose of any limited remedy stated herein.

10.4 Intel is willing to enter into this Agreement only in consideration of and in reliance upon the provisions contained herein limiting Intel's exposure to liability. Such provisions constitute an essential part of the bargain underlying this Agreement and have been reflected in the consideration agreed upon by the Parties. Both Parties understand and agree that the exclusion of warranties, limitation of liability, and the limitation of remedies allocate risks between the Parties as authorized under applicable law.

10.5 The Reference Design may contain or be derived from portions of code and documentation provided by third parties under license to Intel. To the extent that the Deliverables are developed by a third party or derived from third-party software, no such third party provides any representations or warranties with respect to the Deliverables, assumes any liability regarding use of the Deliverables, or undertakes to furnish Licensee any support or information relating to the Deliverables. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Licensee agrees that Intel may disclose Licensee’s identity by name and address, and identify the Deliverables licensed, to the extent required by agreement with its licensors and partners.

11.0 General:

11.5 It is expressly agreed that the validity and construction of this Agreement, and performance hereunder, shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York, U.S.A. The Parties agree to submit to the jurisdiction of the courts in the State of Delaware for the resolution of any dispute or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement.

11.6 The Parties hereby agree that the Party who does not prevail with respect to any dispute, claim, or controversy relating to this Agreement shall pay the costs actually incurred by the prevailing Party, including any attorneys’ fees.

11.7 No amendment to this Agreement shall be effective unless it is in writing signed by a duly authorized representative of both Parties. The waiver of any breach or default shall not constitute a waiver of any other right hereunder.

11.8 If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal, or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner adverse to any Party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal, or incapable of being enforced, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

11.9 The article headings throughout this Agreement are for reference purposes only and the words contained therein shall not be construed as a substantial part of this Agreement and shall in no way be held to explain, modify, amplify, or aid in the interpretation, construction, or meaning of the provisions of this Agreement.

11.10 BY USING THE DELIVERABLES OR ANY PART THEREOF, LICENSEE AND INTEL ACKNOWLEDGE THAT LICENSEE AND INTEL HAVE READ THIS AGREEMENT, UNDERSTAND IT, AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY ITS TERMS AND CONDITIONS. LICENSEE AND INTEL FURTHER AGREE THAT IT IS THE COMPLETE AND EXCLUSIVE STATEMENT OF THE AGREEMENT BETWEEN LICENSEE AND INTEL, WHICH SUPERSEDES ANY PROPOSAL OR PRIOR AGREEMENT, ORAL OR WRITTEN, AND ANY OTHER COMMUNICATIONS BETWEEN LICENSEE AND INTEL RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS AGREEMENT.
