THIS AGREEMENT.**

This NVIDIA - End User License Agreement ("Agreement") is a legal
agreement between you ("Licensee" or "You") and NVIDIA Corporation
("NVIDIA") which governs the use of the referenced NVIDIA software and
any related documentation provided or otherwise made available to you
hereunder ("Software"). By downloading, installing, or otherwise using
the Software, you agree to be bound by the terms of this Agreement. If You
do not agree to the terms of this Agreement, do not download, install or
otherwise use the Software. If You are entering into this Agreement on
behalf of a company or other legal entity, You represent that You have
the legal authority to bind the entity to this Agreement, in which case

The Software is protected by copyright laws and international copyright
treaties, as well as other intellectual property laws and treaties. The
Software is not sold, and instead is only licensed for use, strictly in
accordance with this document. This Agreement sets forth the terms and
conditions of the Software only.

#### SECTION 1 - LICENSE

1.1 License Grant. Provided that Licensee is in compliance with the
terms and conditions of this Agreement, NVIDIA grants to Licensee
a nonexclusive, non-transferable, worldwide, revocable, limited,
royalty-free, fully paid-up license to the Software, in source code and/or
object code form, to: (i) install, use, modify and reproduce the Software,
in accordance with the associated documentation, solely within Licensee's
Enterprise for Licensee's own internal use.  "Enterprise" shall mean
individual use by Licensee or any legal entity (such as a corporation
or university) and the subsidiaries it owns by more than 50 percent.
For the avoidance of doubt, any work performed or produced as a result
of use of the Software cannot be performed or produced for the benefit
of other parties for a fee, compensation or any other reimbursement
or remuneration.

1.2 Limitations. Unless otherwise authorized in the Agreement, Licensee
shall not otherwise (a) assign, sublicense, lease, or in any other way
transfer or disclose Software to any third party; (b) reverse-compile,
disassemble, reverse-engineer, or in any manner attempt to derive the
source code of the Software from the object code portions of the Software;
(c) remove, alter, cover or obscure any proprietary notice that appears
on or with the Software or any copies thereof; (d) use the Software or
allow its use, transfer, transmission or export in violation of any export
control laws or regulations administered by the United States government;
(e) distribute or transfer the Software to third parties in any manner;
or (f) use the Software in any manner that would cause the Software
to become subject to an Open Source License.  "Open Source License"
includes, without limitation, a software license that requires as a
condition of use, modification, and/or distribution of such software
that the Software be (i) disclosed or distributed in source code form;
(ii) be licensed for the purpose of making derivative works; or (iii)
be redistributable at no charge.

1.3 No Other License. Except as expressly stated in this Agreement,
no license or right is granted to Licensee directly or by implication,
inducement, estoppel or otherwise. NVIDIA shall have the right to
inspect or have an independent auditor inspect Licensee's relevant
records to verify Licensee's compliance with the terms and conditions
of this Agreement.

1.4 \_Third Party Technology\_.  Licensee acknowledges and agrees that the
Software may include or incorporate third party technology (collectively,
"Third Party Components").  If the 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 contained
in or included with the Software shall 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. Copyright to Third Party Components are held by the copyright

#### SECTION 2 - CONFIDENTIALITY

2.1 Confidential Information. Licensee acknowledges and agrees that the
Software, documentation and other information (if such other information
is identified as confidential or should be reasonably recognized as
confidential under the circumstances) provided to Licensee by NVIDIA
hereunder (collectively, "Confidential Information") constitute the
confidential and proprietary information of NVIDIA and that Licensee's
protection thereof is an essential condition to Licensee's use and
possession of the Software. Licensee shall retain all Confidential
Information in strict confidence and not disclose it to any third party
or use it in any way except as permitted by this Agreement. Licensee
shall exercise at least the same amount of diligence in preserving the
secrecy of the Confidential Information as it uses in preserving the
secrecy of its own most valuable confidential information, but in no
event less than reasonable diligence. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
all documents and other tangible objects containing or representing
NVIDIA Confidential Information and all copies thereof which are in the
possession of Licensee shall be and remain the property of NVIDIA and
shall be promptly returned to NVIDIA upon termination of this Agreement.

2.2 Contractor. If Licensee wishes to have a third party consultant or
subcontractor ("Contractor") perform work on Licensee's behalf which
involves access to or use of Software, Licensee shall obtain a written
confidentiality agreement from the Contractor which contains terms
and obligations with respect to access to or use of Software no less
restrictive than those set forth in this Agreement and excluding any
distribution or sublicense rights, and use for any other purpose than
permitted in this Agreement. Otherwise, Licensee shall not disclose
the terms or existence of this Agreement or use NVIDIA's name in any
publications, advertisements, or other announcements without NVIDIA's
prior written consent. Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement,
Licensee does not have any rights to use any NVIDIA trademarks or logos.

to improve the Software or other related NVIDIA technologies. Accordingly,
if Licensee provides Feedback, Licensee agrees NVIDIA and its
licensees may freely use, reproduce, license, distribute, and otherwise
commercialize the Feedback in the Software or other related technologies
without the payment of any royalties or fees.  Further, NVIDIA is entitled
to use any information provided by Customer in connection with Feedback

LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL
DAMAGES WHATSOEVER (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, LOSS OF USE, LOSS
OF DATA, BUSINESS INTERUPTION OR LOST PROFITS) IN CONNECTION WITH THIS
AGREEMENT OR ARISING OUT OF THE USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SOFTWARE,
EVEN IF NVIDIA HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. SOME
JURISDICTIONS PROHIBIT EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR IMPLIED
WARRANTIES OR CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION
MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. YOU MAY ALSO HAVE OTHER LEGAL RIGHTS THAT VARY FROM
JURISDICTION TO JURISDICTION. IN NO EVENT SHALL WILL NVIDIA'S AGGREGATE

have. If Licensee commences or participates in any legal proceeding
against NVIDIA, then NVIDIA may, in its sole discretion, suspend or
terminate all license grants and any other rights provided under this
Agreement. Upon termination, Licensee shall immediately cease using and
immediately return all copies of the Software to NVIDIA, or destroy
the Software and certify to NVIDIA in writing that such actions have
been completed.

Agreement is inconsistent with, or cannot be fully enforced under,
the law, such provision will be construed as limited to the extent
necessary to be consistent with and fully enforceable under the law.
