of this Agreement. If you do not agree to all of the terms of this Agreement, do
not download, install or copy from GitHub or similar platform, the Licensed
Software. If you change your mind later, stop using the Licensed Software and

1.3.          “Derivative Work” means a work based upon one or more pre-existing
works.  A work consisting of editorial revisions, annotations, elaborations, or
other modifications which, as a whole, represent an original work of authorship,
is a Derivative Work.

1.4.          “Intellectual Property Rights” means any and all rights under

as expressly permitted herein. This Agreement does not grant to you any implied

and military end users as specified in Section 15 C.F.R. § 744.21 and prohibited
party lists issued by other federal governments), Catch-all regulations and all

knowingly transfer, divert, export or re-export, directly or indirectly, any
product, software, including software source code, or technology restricted by
such regulations or by other applicable national regulations, received from the
other party under this Agreement, or any direct product of such software or
technical data to any person, firm, entity, country or destination to which such
transfer, diversion, export or re-export is restricted or prohibited, without
obtaining prior written authorization from the applicable competent government
authorities to the extent required by those laws.

12.2        Prohibition of Export to Russian Federation

(a)   With respect to activities that fall under the scope of Article 12g, 12ga
of Council Regulation (EU) No 833/2014, or Council Regulation (EU) No 765/2006
(as the case requires), Licensee (a) will not sell, export or re-export,
directly or indirectly any item, and (b) will not sell, license or sublicense
any intellectual property rights or trade secrets, to the Russian Federation or
Belarus, or for use in the Russian Federation or Belarus.

(b)   Licensee will ensure that the purpose of paragraph (a) above is not
frustrated by any third parties further down the commercial chain, including by
either resellers, sublicensees, or both.

(c)    Licensee will set up and maintain an adequate monitoring mechanism to
detect conduct by any third parties further down the commercial chain, including
by either resellers, sublicensees, or both, that would frustrate the purpose of

available to NXP information concerning compliance with the obligations under
paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) within 2 weeks of the request for information.

13.  GOVERNMENT CONTRACT COMPLIANCE

13.1.       If you sell Authorized Systems directly to any government or public
entity, including U.S., state, local, foreign or international governments or
public entities, or indirectly via a prime contractor or subcontractor of such
governments or entities, NXP makes no representations, certifications, or
warranties whatsoever about compliance with government or public entity
acquisition statutes or regulations, including, without limitation, statutes or
regulations that may relate to pricing, quality, origin or content.

13.2.       The Licensed Software has been developed at private expense and is a
“Commercial Item” as defined in 48 C.F.R. Section 2.101, consisting of
“Commercial Computer Software”, and/or “Commercial Computer Software
Documentation,” as such terms are used in 48 C.F.R. Section 12.212 (or 48 C.F.R.
Section 227.7202, as applicable) and may only be licensed to or shared with U.S.
Government end users in object code form as part of, or embedded within,
Authorized Systems. Any agreement pursuant to which you share the Licensed
Software will include a provision that reiterates the limitations of this
document and requires all sub-agreements to similarly contain such limitations. 

14.  CRITICAL APPLICATIONS.  In some cases, NXP may promote certain software for
use in the development of, or for incorporation into, products or services (a)
used in applications requiring fail-safe performance or (b) in which failure
could lead to death, personal injury, or severe physical or environmental damage
(these products and services are referred to as “Critical Applications”). NXP’s
goal is to educate customers so that they can design their own end-product
solutions to meet applicable functional safety standards and requirements.
Licensee makes the ultimate design decisions regarding its products and is
solely responsible for compliance with all legal, regulatory, safety, and
security related requirements concerning its products, regardless of any
information or support that may be provided by NXP. As such, Licensee assumes
all risk related to use of the Licensed Software in Critical Applications and
NXP SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY SUCH USE IN CRITICAL APPLICATIONS BY LICENSEE.
Accordingly, Licensee will indemnify and hold NXP harmless from any claims,
liabilities, damages and associated costs and expenses (including attorneys’
fees) that NXP may incur related to Licensee’s incorporation of the Licensed
Software in a Critical Application.

15.  CHOICE OF LAW; VENUE.  This Agreement will be governed by, construed, and
enforced in accordance with the laws of The Netherlands, without regard to
conflicts of laws principles, will apply to all matters relating to this
Agreement or the Licensed Software, and you agree that any litigation will be
subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Amsterdam, The
Netherlands. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International
Sale of Goods will not apply to this document. 

16.  TRADEMARKS.  You are not authorized to use any NXP trademarks, brand names,
or logos.

17.  ENTIRE AGREEMENT.  This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between
you and NXP regarding the subject matter of this Agreement, and supersedes all
prior communications, negotiations, understandings, agreements or
representations, either written or oral, if any. This Agreement may only be
amended in written form, signed by you and NXP.

18.  SEVERABILITY.  If any provision of this Agreement is held for any reason to
be invalid or unenforceable, then the remaining provisions of this Agreement
will be unimpaired and, unless a modification or replacement of the invalid or
unenforceable provision is further held to deprive you or NXP of a material
benefit, in which case the Agreement will immediately terminate, the invalid or
unenforceable provision will be replaced with a provision that is valid and
enforceable and that comes closest to the intention underlying the invalid or
unenforceable provision.

19.  NO WAIVER.  The waiver by NXP of any breach of any provision of this
Agreement will not operate or be construed as a waiver of any other or a
subsequent breach of the same or a different provision.

20.  AUDIT.  You will keep full, clear and accurate records with respect to your
compliance with the limited license rights granted under this Agreement for
three years following expiration or termination of this Agreement. NXP will have
the right, either itself or through an independent certified public accountant
to examine and audit, at NXP’s expense, not more than once a year, and during
normal business hours, all such records that may bear upon your compliance with
the limited license rights granted above. You must make prompt adjustment to
compensate for any errors and/or omissions disclosed by such examination or
audit.

21.  NOTICES.  All notices and communications under this Agreement will be made
in writing, and will be effective when received at the following addresses:

address of an individual for an individual Licensee.

22.  RELATIONSHIP OF THE PARTIES.  The parties are independent contractors.
Nothing in this Agreement will be construed to create any partnership, joint
venture, or similar relationship. Neither party is authorized to bind the other
to any obligations with third parties.

23.  SUCCESSION AND ASSIGNMENT.   This Agreement will be binding upon and inure
to the benefit of the parties and their permitted successors and assigns.  You
may not assign this Agreement, or any part of this Agreement, without the prior
written approval of NXP, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed. NXP may assign this Agreement, or any part of this Agreement, in its
sole discretion.

24.  PRIVACY. By agreeing to this Agreement and/or utilizing the Licensed
Software, Licensee consents to use of certain personal information, including
but not limited to name, email address, and location, for the purpose of NXP’s
