2. PROVISION OF SERVICES:

1. In consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein and in each Service Order, Skyworks shall provide the Services to the Customer.
2. Customer acknowledges that certain Services delivered entirely in Canada may be provided on behalf of Skyworks including its partners, or other affiliates or agents of Skyworks (collectively, “Skyworks Providers). Notwithstanding that the Services may be provided by Skyworks Providers, Skyworks will be solely responsible for ensuring all of its obligations set forth in this Agreement are met.

3. CHARGES AND PAYMENTS:

The charges for the Services are as set out in the applicable Service Order.

1. Governing Law:

Any dispute between Skyworks and Customer, with respect to a Service Order, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws in force in the Province of Alberta, and the laws of Canada applicable therein. Customer agrees to attorn to the jurisdiction of the Courts of Alberta, and agree that any action or proceeding brought by either Skyworks or Customer to enforce any provision of a Service Order shall be commenced in Alberta.

2. Successors and Assigns:

A Service Order may not be assigned by Customer without the prior written consent of Skyworks, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. Skyworks may assign a Service Order and any of its rights and obligations under these Terms of Service, in whole or in part, at any time without the consent of Customer.

3. Force Majeure:

Any delay or failure of either Party to perform its obligations under a Service Order or the Business Terms of Service shall be excused, to the extent that the delay or failure is caused by an event or occurrence beyond the reasonable control of the Party and without its fault or negligence, such as by way of example and not by way of limitation, acts of God, action by any governmental authority, fires, floods, war, acts of terrorism, insurrection, revolution, nuclear reaction, windstorms, explosions, riots, natural disasters, inability to obtain power, material, labour, Equipment or transportation, or court injunction provided that, written notice of the delay shall be given by the affected Party to the other Party within ten (10) days.

4. Purchase Orders:

Notwithstanding any contrary language in any purchase order or similar document issued by the Customer to Skyworks with respect to the Services, any such purchase order or similar document shall be deemed for the Customer’s internal use only and the provisions thereof shall have no affect whatsoever upon the provisions of the applicable Service Order or the Terms of Service.

5. Severability:

Each provision of any applicable Service Order(s) or the Business Terms of Service shall be severable. If any provision of a Service Order or the Business Terms of Service is illegal or invalid, the illegality or invalidity shall not affect the validity of the remainder of such Service Order or the Terms of Service. In the event that a Service Order is a tripartite agreement, then such Service Order shall be divisible in relation to the Parties insofar as the Service Order can be performed without the collaboration of the excluded Party.

6. Rights Arising from Service Order(s):

Nothing herein expressed or implied is intended nor shall be construed to confer on or to give any person, other than the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns, any rights or remedies under or by reason of any Service Order(s) or the Terms of Service.

7. Agency Limitations:

Any Service Order(s) does not constitute any Party a partner, employee, agent or legal representative or joint venturer with the other, and no Party may act on behalf of the other in any manner nor assume or create any obligation of any kind express or implied, on behalf of the other Party nor bind the other Party in any respect whatsoever, except in accordance with such Service Order(s).

8. Waiver and Indulgence:

Waiver by any Party of any violation or breach of a Service Order or the Business Terms of Service in any instance shall not be taken or held to be a waiver of any subsequent violation or breach or as a waiver of the provision itself that is breached, nor shall any delay or omission on the part of any Party to exercise any right arising from such violation or breach alter or impair that Party’s right as to the same or any future violation or breach. Similarly, no indulgence or goodwill of any kind by a Party not contemplated by a Service Order or the Business Terms of Service shall be taken or construed as a right that can be enforced against such Party by the other.

9. Notices:

Any notice or other written communication provided or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and given by personal delivery (against receipt), or sent by registered mail (against receipt) postage prepaid, or transmitted by facsimile, addressed to the other Party as set out on the applicable Service Order(s). Any notice so given shall be deemed to have been received on the date on which it was delivered in person, or, if transmitted by facsimile during the regular business hours of the party receiving the notice, on the date it was transmitted, or if transmitted after business hours, on the next business day, or if sent by registered mail on the fifth business day thereafter.

10. Confidentiality:

Each Party (the “Receiving Party”) agrees to protect the confidentiality of any information disclosed by the other Party (including the existence and terms of this Agreement) and shall not disclose, copy or use any such confidential information except as contemplated by this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no public announcement, advertising or any other form of public release (including any disclosure to obtain financing) regarding the existence or the contents of this Agreement shall be made by any Party without the prior written consent of the other Party. The foregoing shall not apply to information which is or becomes publicly known otherwise than by reason of a breach of this Agreement by the Receiving Party or has been independently developed outside the scope of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the above, the Parties acknowledge that disclosure of this Agreement will be required to certain of their respective employees, agents or representatives to effectuate the purposes hereof, or as is necessary to comply with federal, provincial or local regulatory requirements, including disclosure requirements of public corporations, in Canada and/or the USA, as applicable, and any such disclosure shall not require the prior written consent of the other Party. Each Party shall be entitled to all remedies available at law, including the right to injunctive relief and specific performance.

11. Regulatory Approval:

In the event that a Service Order or the Business Terms of Service become subject to regulatory approval by various local, state or federal agencies in Canada and/or the USA, as applicable, the Parties shall cooperate, to the extent reasonable and lawful, in providing such information as is necessary to complete any required filing or in obtaining any required regulatory approval.

12. Legality:

Nothing contained in any Service Order or the Business Terms of Service shall be construed so as to require the commission of any act or the payment of any compensation which is contrary to law, whether Canadian and/or USA law, as applicable, which may, from time to time, be in effect and by its terms controlling of the applicable Service Order(s). If there is any conflict between any provision of Service Order and any such applicable law the latter shall prevail and the provisions of such Service Order affected shall be modified to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to remove such conflict and permit such compliance with the law.

13. Cumulative Remedies:

No remedy conferred upon or reserved in favour of a Party shall exclude any other remedy herein or existing in law or in equity or by statute, but each shall be cumulative and in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or now hereafter existing.

14. Non-Variation:

No amendment or consensual cancellation of a Service Order or any provision or term thereof or of any agreement, bill of exchange or other document issued or executed pursuant to or in connection with a Service Order shall be binding unless recorded in a written document signed by a duly authorized representative from all Parties. The Parties acknowledge having read and understood each Service Order and are not entering into such Service Order on the basis of any representations not expressly set forth in it. No Party shall be bound by any express or implied term, representation, warranty, promise or the like not recorded in a Service Order or the Business Terms of Service whether it induced the contract between the Parties or not.
