Question : Bash script help

Hello,

I got 2 files as following:

1st file:
DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=static
HWADDR=00:21:52:66:EF:FC
BROADCAST=10.10.25.255
IPADDR=10.10.25.25
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
NETWORK=10.10.25.0
ONBOOT=yes

2nd file:
DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=none
BROADCAST=10.10.26.255
HWADDR=00:31:5E:61:64:DA
IPADDR=10.10.26.126
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
NETWORK=10.10.26.0
ONBOOT=yes

I need a script that can replace the 2nd file with the contents of 1st file EXCLUDING the line which starts with BROADCAST. So the resultant file here should be as shown below:

DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=static                    <--------------
HWADDR=00:31:5E:61:64:DA     <-------------- Please note this line is retained
BROADCAST=10.10.25.255
IPADDR=10.10.25.25
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
NETWORK=10.10.25.0
ONBOOT=yes


Thanks,
AR
