c. You may not bypass, disable, or circumvent any technical measure, encryption, security, digital rights management or

application where the use or failure of the system or application can reasonably be expected to threaten or result in personal
injury, death, or catastrophic loss. Examples include use in avionics, navigation, military, medical, life support or other life

be liable to you or any third party, in whole or in part, for any claims or damages arising from such uses.

agents, officers and directors, from and against any and all claims, damages, obligations, losses, liabilities, costs or debt, fines,
restitutions and expenses (including but not limited to attorney’s fees and costs incident to establishing the right of
indemnification) arising out of or related to use of the SOFTWARE outside of the scope of this Agreement, or not in compliance
with its terms.

4. PRE-RELEASE. SOFTWARE versions identified as alpha, beta, preview, early access or otherwise as pre-release may not be
fully functional, may contain errors or design flaws, and may have reduced or different security, privacy, availability, and

version at your own risk, understanding that these versions are not intended for use in production or business-critical
systems.

5. OWNERSHIP. The SOFTWARE and the related intellectual property rights therein are and will remain the sole and exclusive
property of NVIDIA or its licensors. The SOFTWARE is copyrighted and protected by the laws of the United States and other

voluntarily provide, you hereby grant NVIDIA and its affiliates a perpetual, non-exclusive, worldwide, irrevocable license to

CONNECTION WITH THIS LICENSE OR THE USE OR PERFORMANCE OF THE SOFTWARE, WHETHER SUCH LIABILITY ARISES FROM
ANY CLAIM BASED UPON BREACH OF CONTRACT, BREACH OF WARRANTY, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), PRODUCT

OR COULD REASONABLY HAVE FORESEEN, THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. IN NO EVENT WILL NVIDIA’S AND ITS
AFFILIATES TOTAL CUMULATIVE LIABILITY UNDER OR ARISING OUT OF THIS LICENSE EXCEED US$10.00. THE NATURE OF THE
LIABILITY OR THE NUMBER OF CLAIMS OR SUITS SHALL NOT ENLARGE OR EXTEND THIS LIMIT.

10. TERMINATION. Your rights under this license will terminate automatically without notice from NVIDIA if you fail to comply
with any term and condition of this license or if you commence or participate in any legal proceeding against NVIDIA with
respect to the SOFTWARE. NVIDIA may terminate this license with advance written notice to you if NVIDIA decides to no
longer provide the SOFTWARE in a country or, in NVIDIA’s sole discretion, the continued use of it is no longer commercially
viable. Upon any termination of this license, you agree to promptly discontinue use of the SOFTWARE and destroy all copies
in your possession or control. Your prior distributions in accordance with this license are not affected by the termination of
this license. All provisions of this license will survive termination, except for the license granted to you.
