FREESCALE SEMICONDUCTOR SOFTWARE LICENSE AGREEMENT
This is a legal agreement between you (either as an individual or as an authorized representative of your employer) and Freescale Semiconductor, Inc. ("Freescale"). It concerns your rights to use this file and any accompanying written documentation (the "Software"). In consideration for Freescale allowing you to access the Software, you are agreeing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement. If you do not agree to all of the terms of this Agreement, do not download the Software. If you change your mind later, stop using the Software and delete all copies of the Software in your possession or control. Any copies of the Software that you have already distributed, where permitted, and do not destroy will continue to be governed by this Agreement. Your prior use will also continue to be governed by this Agreement.
LICENSE GRANT. The Software may contain two types of programs: (i) programs enabling you to design a system (“System Designs”), and (ii) programs that could be executed on your designed system (“System Software”). Your rights in these distinct programs differ. With respect to System Designs, Freescale grants to you, free of charge, the non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use, reproduce, and prepare derivative works of the System Designs for the sole purpose of designing systems that contain an ARM compatible programmable processing unit obtained directly or indirectly from Freescale (“NXP System”). You may not distribute or sublicense the System Designs to others. Freescale does not grant to you any rights under its patents to make, use, sell, offer to sell, or import systems designed using the System Designs. That is beyond the scope of this Agreement. With respect to System Software, Freescale grants to you, free of charge, the non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use, modify human readable System Software, market, distribute directly or indirectly, the System Software in binary form, exclusively used as an embedded component of Freescale Systems. You may not translate, reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Software except to the extent applicable law specifically prohibits such restriction. If you violate any of the terms or restrictions of this Agreement, Freescale may immediately terminate this Agreement, and require that you stop using and delete all copies of the Software in your possession or control. You are solely responsible for systems you design using the Software.
COPYRIGHT. The Software is licensed to you, not sold. Freescale owns the Software, and United States copyright laws and international treaty provisions protect the Software. Therefore, you must treat the Software like any other copyrighted material (e.g. a book or musical recording). You may not use or copy the Software for any other purpose than what is described in this Agreement. Except as expressly provided herein, Freescale does not grant to you any express or implied rights under any Freescale or third-party patents, copyrights, trademarks, or trade secrets. Additionally, you must reproduce and apply any copyright or other proprietary rights notices included on or embedded in the Software to any copies or derivative works made thereof, in whole or in part, if any.
PUBLIC SOFTWARE RESTRICTION. Your license rights to the Software are conditioned upon your not using the Software with other software which was not provided by Freescale hereunder when such other software is licensed pursuant to terms that directly or indirectly (i) create, or purport to create, obligations for Freescale or its licensors with respect to the Software or derivative work thereof or (ii) grant, or purport to grant, to any third party any rights or immunities under Our or its licensor’s intellectual property or proprietary rights in the Software or derivative work thereof. Such other software includes, without limitation, any software that requires as a condition of use, modification and/or distribution of such software that other software incorporated into, derived from or distributed with such software be (i) disclosed or distributed in source code form; (2) be licensed for the purpose of making derivative works; or (3) be redistributable at no charge.
SUPPORT. Freescale is NOT obligated to provide any support, upgrades or new releases of the Software.

Freescale may make changes to the Software at any time, without any obligation to notify or provide updated versions of the Software to you.
ESSENTIAL PATENTS. You are solely responsible for obtaining licenses for any relevant Essential Patents for your use in connection with technology that you incorporate into the your Product (whether as part of the Software or not). “Essential Patent” means a patent to the limited extent that infringement of such patent cannot be avoided in remaining compliant with the technology standards implicated by the usage of any of the Software, including optional implementation of such standards, on technical but not commercial grounds, taking into account normal technical practice and the state of the art generally available at the time of standardization.
PATENT COVENANT NOT TO SUE. As partial, material consideration for the rights granted to you under this Agreement, you (and your affiliates) covenant not to sue or otherwise assert your patents against Freescale, a Freescale Affiliate or subsidiary, or a Freescale licensee of the Software for infringement of your intellectual property rights by the manufacture, use, sale, offer for sale, importation or other disposition or promotion of the Software and/or any redistributed portions thereof.

NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE CONSTRUED AS A WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION BY FREESCALE THAT THE SOFTWARE OR ANY DERIVATIVE WORK DEVELOPED WITH OR INCORPORATING THE SOFTWARE WILL BE FREE FROM INFRINGEMENT OF THE INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS OF THIRD PARTIES.
INDEMNITY. You agree to fully defend and indemnify Freescale from any and all claims, liabilities, and costs (including reasonable attorney’s fees) related to (1) your use of the Software or (2) your violation of the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
