MICROCHIP NON-EXCLUSIVE SOFTWARE LICENSE AGREEMENT
This Microchip Nonexclusive Software License Agreement ("Agreement") is a contract between you, your heirs, successors and
assigns ("Licensee") and Microchip Technology Incorporated, a Delaware corporation, with a principal place of business at 2355 W.
Chandler Blvd., Chandler, AZ 85224-6199, and its subsidiaries including, Microchip Technology (Barbados) II Incorporated (collectively,
"Microchip") for the accompanying Microchip software, including any PC programs, and any modifications or updates thereto (collectively, the
"Software"), and accompanying documentation, including images and any other graphic resources provided by Microchip
("Documentation").
1. Definitions
. As used in this Agreement, the following capitalized terms will have the meanings defined below:
a. "Microchip Products" means Microchip integrated circuit devices.
b. "Licensee Products" means Licensee products that use or incorporate Microchip Products.
c. "Third Party" means Licensee’s agents, distributors, consultants, clients, customers, contract manufacturers, resellers, or
representatives.
d. "Third Party Products" means Third Party products that use or incorporate Microchip Products.
2. Software License Grant. Microchip grants strictly to Licensee a non-exclusive, non-transferable, worldwide license:
a. To use the Software in connection with Licensee Products or Third Party Products;
b. If source code is provided by Microchip to Licensee, to modify the Software for the sole purpose of rendering the Software
operable with Licensee Products or Third Party Products, provided that Licensee clearly notifies Third Parties regarding the source of such
modifications; and
c. To distribute the Software to Third Parties for use with or incorporation into Licensee Products or Third Party Products,
provided that Licensee ensures that: (i) such Third Party agrees to be bound by this Agreement (in writing or by "click to accept"), and (ii)
this Agreement accompanies such distribution. The procedure described in sub-clauses (i) and (ii) is not required when the Software is
embedded in machine-readable object code form as firmware in Licensee Products or Third Party Products. Further, the procedure described
in sub-clauses (i) and (ii) is not required when modified versions of PC programs are re-distributed in machine-readable object code form,
provided that Licensee notifies end users that: (1) the modified PC program is derived from a Microchip PC program and is governed by the
terms of this Agreement including the requirement to use such program with Microchip Products, (2) a copy of this Agreement is available
upon request, and (3) the Licensee supports the modified PC program.
For purposes of clarity, Licensee may NOT embed the Software on a non-Microchip Product, except as expressly described in this
Section 2 or the Documentation.
3. Documentation License Grant
. Microchip grants to Licensee a non-exclusive, non-transferable, worldwide license to use the
Documentation in support of the authorized use of the Software as set forth in this Agreement.
4. Third Party Requirements. Licensee acknowledges that it is Licensee’s responsibility to comply with any third party license
terms or requirements applicable to the use of such third party software, specifications, systems, or tools. This includes, by way of example
but not as a limitation, any standards setting organizations requirements and, particularly with respect to Security Package Software, if any,
local encryption laws and requirements. Microchip is not responsible and will not be held responsible in any manner for Licensee’s failure to
comply with such applicable third party terms or requirements.
5. Open Source Components
. Notwithstanding the license grant in Section 2 above, Licensee further acknowledges that certain
components of the Software may be covered by so-called "open source" software licenses ("Open Source Components"). Open Source
Components means any software licenses approved as open source licenses by the Open Source Initiative or any substantially similar
licenses, including without limitation any license that, as a condition of distribution of the software licensed under such license, requires that
the distributor make the software available in source code format. To the extent required by the licenses covering Open Source Components,
the terms of such license will apply in lieu of the terms of this Agreement. To the extent the terms of the licenses applicable to Open Source
Components prohibit any of the restrictions in this Agreement with respect to such Open Source Components, such restrictions will not apply
to such Open Source Component.
6. Licensee Obligations
. Licensee will not: (a) engage in unauthorized use, modification, disclosure or distribution of Software or
Documentation, or its modifications or derivatives; (b) use all or any portion of the Software, Documentation, or its modifications or derivatives
except in conjunction with Microchip Products, Licensee Products, or Third Party Products as set forth in this Agreement; or (c) reverse
engineer (by disassembly, decompilation or otherwise) Software or any portion thereof. Licensee may not remove or alter any Microchip
copyright or other proprietary rights notice posted in any portion of the Software or Documentation. Licensee will defend, indemnify and
hold Microchip and its subsidiaries harmless from and against any and all claims, costs, damages, expenses (including reasonable attorney's
fees), liabilities, and losses, including without limitation: (x) any claims directly or indirectly arising from or related to the use, modification,
disclosure or distribution of the Software, Documentation, or any intellectual property rights related thereto; (y) the use, sale and distribution
of Licensee Products or Third Party Products; and (z) breach of this Agreement.
