Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) the Waiver hereunder shall have no effect on the ability of Gogo to make or pursue any claims it may have against GCT Semiconductors, Inc. (“GCT”), and (ii) so long as the Waiver Termination Date has not already occurred, the Waiver shall become permanent and not subject to termination upon the delivery to Gogo of a functioning 5G radio module.

5.
Legal Fees and Expenses. The Parties have agreed that Airspan will pay up to $[***] of Gogo’s legal fees and expenses accrued by White & Case LLP, as counsel to Gogo.
