SOFTWARE DEVELOPER KITS, SAMPLES AND TOOLS LICENSE AGREEMENT 

This Software Developer Kits, Samples and Tools License Agreement ("Agreement”) is a legal agreement between you and NVIDIA Corporation (“NVIDIA”) and governs the use of the following NVIDIA deliverables to the extent provided to you under this Agreement: API’s, sample source code, header files, binary software and/or documentation (collectively, "Licensed Software").  This Agreement can be accepted only by an adult of legal age of majority in the country in which the Licensed Software is used.  If you are under the legal age of majority, you must ask your parent or legal guardian to consent to this Agreement.  If you are entering this Agreement on behalf of a company or other legal entity, you represent that you have legal authority and “you” will mean the entity you represent.  If you don’t have such authority, or if you don’t accept all the terms and conditions of this Agreement, then NVIDIA is unwilling to license the Licensed Software to you, and you may not download, install, copy or use it. By using the Licensed Software, you affirm that you have reached the legal age of majority, you accept the terms of this Agreement, and you take legal and financial responsibility for the actions of your permitted users.

You agree that use of the Licensed Materials only for purposes that are permitted by (a) this Agreement, and (b) any applicable law, regulation or generally accepted practices or guidelines in the relevant jurisdiction.

(i)	install, use and reproduce the software delivered by NVIDIA, make modifications and create derivative works of sample source code software delivered by NVIDIA and use documentation delivered by NVIDIA, provided that the software is executed only in supported NVIDIA GPU hardware products (as specified in the accompanying documentation, such as release notes) that you separately obtain from NVIDIA or its affiliates, all to develop, test and service your products (each, a “Customer Product”) that are interoperable with supported NVIDIA GPU hardware products; and  
(ii)	sub-license and distribute in binary format the API library software and header files as delivered by NVIDIA and sample source code as delivered by NVIDIA or as modified by you, all as incorporated into a Customer Product for use by your recipients only in the supported NVIDIA GPU hardware products separately obtained, provided that: (a) all such distributions by you or your distribution channels are consistent with the terms of this Agreement; and (b) you must enter into enforceable agreements with your recipients that binds them to terms that are consistent with the terms set forth in this Agreement for their use of the software binaries, including (without limitation) terms relating to the license grant and license restrictions, confidentiality and protection of NVIDIA’s intellectual property rights in and to the software you distributed.

You acknowledge and agree that the Licensed Software may include or incorporate third party technology (collectively “Third Party Components”), which is provided for use in or with the software and not otherwise used separately. If the Licensed Software includes or incorporates Third Party Components, then the third-party pass-through terms and conditions (“Third Party Terms”) for the particular Third Party Component will be bundled with the software or otherwise made available online as indicated by NVIDIA and will be incorporated by reference into this Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the terms in this Agreement and the Third Party Terms, the Third Party Terms shall govern.

Each party will use all reasonable efforts to maintain the confidentiality of all of the other party’s Confidential Information in its possession or control, but in no event less than the efforts that it ordinarily uses with respect to its own Confidential Information of similar nature and importance. The foregoing obligations will not restrict either party from disclosing the other party’s Confidential Information or the terms and conditions of this Agreement as required under applicable securities regulations or pursuant to the order or requirement of a court, administrative agency, or other governmental body, provided that the party required to make such a disclosure (i) gives reasonable notice to the other party to enable it to contest such order or requirement prior to its disclosure (whether through protective orders or otherwise), (ii) uses reasonable effort to obtain confidential treatment or similar protection to the fullest extent possible to avoid public disclosure, and (iii) discloses only the minimum amount of information necessary to comply with such requirements.

8.	MISCELLANEOUS. 
 
8.1	NVIDIA Entities. NVIDIA Corporation and its subsidiaries, including, but not limited to, NVIDIA Singapore Pte Ltd., have agreed to their respective rights and obligations regarding the distribution of the Licensed Software and the performance of obligations related to the Licensed Software. Ordering and delivery shall be with the NVIDIA entity with distribution rights for the geographic region in which the Licensed Software will be used, as communicated by NVIDIA to you.  
 
8.2	Audit. During the term of this Agreement and for a period of three (3) years thereafter, you will maintain complete and accurate books and records regarding use of the Licensed Software and your performance and administration of this Agreement.  During such period and upon written notice to you, NVIDIA or its authorized third party auditors subject to confidentiality obligations will have the right to inspect and audit your Enterprise books and records for the purpose of confirming your compliance with the terms of this Agreement. Any such inspection and audit will be conducted during regular business hours, in a manner that minimizes interference with your normal business activities, and no more frequent than annually unless non-compliance was previously found. If such an inspection and audit reveals an underpayment of any amounts payable to NVIDIA, then you will promptly remit the full amount of such underpayment to NVIDIA, including interest that will accrue (without the requirement of a notice) at the lower of 1.5% per month or the highest rate permissible by law. If the underpaid amount exceeds five percent (5%) of the amounts payable to NVIDIA for the period audited and/or such an inspection and audit reveals a material non-conformance with the terms of this Agreement, then you will also pay NVIDIA’s reasonable costs of conducting the inspection and audit. Further, you agree that the party delivering the Licensed Software to you may collect and disclose to NVIDIA (subject to confidentiality obligations) information for NVIDIA to verify your compliance with the terms of this Agreement including (without limitation) information regarding your usage of the Licensed Software.

8.5	Injunctive Relief.

8.6	Waiver. The failure by either party to enforce its rights under this Agreement at any time for any period will not constitute a waiver of future enforcement of that right or any other right.
