4.6 Licensee will maintain, during the term of this Agreement and for a period of two years thereafter, accurate records relating to this license grant to verify compliance with this Agreement. CommScope or an independent third party ("Auditor") may inspect Licensee's premises, books and records, upon reasonable prior notice to Licensee, during Licensee's normal business hours and subject to Licensee's facility and security regulations. CommScope is responsible for the payment of all expenses and costs of the Auditor.

Licensee agrees to take all appropriate action to protect the confidential and trade secret information contained in the Software, License Keys and Documentation (the "Confidential Information), which shall be no less than the steps Licensee takes to protect its own confidential and trade secret information. Licensee shall disclose the Confidential Information only to those employees of Licensee that have a reasonable need to use the Software in connection with the purposes of this License.
Section 11 LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
IN NO EVENT SHALL COMMSCOPE BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY LOSS OR DAMAGE TO LICENSEE, ITS EMPLOYEES, ITS CUSTOMERS, OR ANY THIRD PARTIES CAUSED BY FAILURE OF THE SOFTWARE, LICENSE KEYS AND/OR DOCUMENTATION OR FAILURE OF ARRIS TO DELIVER THE SOFTWARE, LICENSE KEYS AND/OR DOCUMENTATION.

Section 12 GENERAL
12.1 COPYRIGHT NOTICES. The existence of a copyright notice on the Software will not be construed as an admission or presumption of publication of the Software or public disclosure of any trade secrets associated with the Software.
12.2. COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS. Licensee acknowledges that the Software is subject to the laws and regulations of the United States and Licensee will comply with all applicable laws and regulations, including export laws and regulations of the United States. Licensee will not, without the prior authorization of Commscope and the appropriate governmental authority of the United States, in any form export or re-export, sell or resell, ship or reship, or divert, through direct or indirect means, any item or technical data or direct or indirect products sold or otherwise furnished to any person within any territory for which the United States Government or any of its agencies at the time of the action, requires an export license or other governmental approval.

The terms of the U.N. Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods do not apply. In the event that the Uniform Computer Information Transaction Act, any version of this Act, or a substantially similar law (collectively "UCITA") becomes applicable to a party's performance under this Agreement, UCITA does not govern any aspect of this Agreement, or any license granted under this Agreement, or any of the parties' rights or obligations under this Agreement. The governing law will be that in effect prior to the applicability of UCITA.
12. 5 THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARIES. This Agreement is entered into solely for the benefit of CommScope and Licensee.

12.6 SURVIVAL. Sections 4, 5, 6.3, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 1 2 survive the termination of this Agreement.
12.7 SECURITY. CommScope's Information Assurance Policy addresses the issue of security. CommScope uses reasonable means in the design and writing of its own Software and the acquisition of third-party Software to limit Security Vulnerabilities. While no software can be guaranteed to be free from Security Vulnerabilities, if a Security Vulnerability is discovered, ARRIS will take reasonable steps to correct the Security Vulnerability.
