Especially, Kathrein shall not be liable for any damage resulting from an interruption of the operation of any mobile communication network.

5.4 The liability according to the German Produkthaftungsgesetz remains unaffected ( 14 ProdHaftG).

5.5 The limitation of liability according to this section 5 applies to any kind of liability regardless whether based on contract, tort or any other legal theory.

5.6 This article 5 shall survive any termination or expiration of this agreement.

6. TERM AND TERMINATION This Agreement shall continue indefi nitely unless

terminated by one of the parties. This Agreement may be terminated by Customer upon thirty (30) days notice to Kathrein and by Kathrein upon breach of any term of this Agreement, which breach is not cured within thirty (30) days after written notice by Kathrein, or should Customer cease business operations, be adjudged a bankrupt or become a party to a similar proceeding for the benefi t of its creditors. Immediately after such termination, Customer will cease use of Licensed Software, delete all parts of Licensed Software from its Hardware and deliver any and all copies and modifi cations of Licensed Software to Kathrein and, if requested, provide Kathrein with its written certifi cation that no copies have been retained.

8.2 This Agreement comprises the full and fi nal understanding between Kathrein and Customer, and merges and supersedes any and all other agreements, understandings or representations, written or oral, with respect to the subject matter hereof. It may not be modifi ed except by a writing signed by authorized representatives of both Kathrein and Customer, and referring specifi cally to this Agreement.

8.3 Waiver by any party of the breach of a provision of this Agreement by the other party shall not be construed as a continuing waiver of such provision or waiver of any other breach of any other provision of this Agreement.

8.4 Severability If any provision of this agreement is invalid or

unforceable under any applicable law or regarded as invalid or unforceable by any applicable court decision, the parties agree that such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions and further agree to substitute for the invalid or unenforceable provision a valid and enforceable provision which most closely approximates the intent and economic effect of the invalid provision within the limits of applicable court decisions.
