7. Confidentiality. Licensee agrees that the Software (including but not limited to the source code, object code and library files) and
its modifications or derivatives, Documentation and underlying inventions, algorithms, know-how and ideas relating to the Software and the
Documentation are proprietary information belonging to Microchip and its licensors ("Proprietary Information"). Except as expressly and
unambiguously allowed herein, Licensee will hold in confidence and not use or disclose any Proprietary Information and will similarly bind
its employees and Third Party(ies) in writing. Proprietary Information will not include information that: (i) is in or enters the public domain
without breach of this Agreement and through no fault of the receiving party; (ii) the receiving party was legally in possession of prior to
receiving it; (iii) the receiving party can demonstrate was developed by the receiving party independently and without use of or reference to
the disclosing party's Proprietary Information; or (iv) the receiving party receives from a third party without restriction on disclosure. If
Licensee is required to disclose Proprietary Information by law, court order, or government agency, License will give Microchip prompt
notice of such requirement in order to allow Microchip to object or limit such disclosure. Licensee agrees that the provisions of this
Agreement regarding unauthorized use and nondisclosure of the Software, Documentation and related Proprietary Rights are necessary to
protect the legitimate business interests of Microchip and its licensors and that monetary damage alone cannot adequately compensate
Microchip or its licensors if such provisions are violated. Licensee, therefore, agrees that if Microchip alleges that Licensee or Third Party
has breached or violated such provision then Microchip will have the right to injunctive relief, without the requirement for the posting of a
bond, in addition to all other remedies at law or in equity.
8. Ownership of Proprietary Rights
. Microchip and its licensors retain all right, title and interest in and to the Software and
Documentation including, but not limited to all patent, copyright, trade secret and other intellectual property rights in the Software,
Documentation, and underlying technology and all copies and derivative works thereof (by whomever produced). Licensee and Third Party
use of Software modifications and derivatives is limited to the license rights described in this Agreement.
9. Termination of Agreement. Without prejudice to any other rights, this Agreement terminates immediately, without notice by
Microchip, upon a failure by Licensee or Third Party to comply with any provision of this Agreement. Upon termination, Licensee and Third
Party will immediately stop using the Software, Documentation, modifications and derivatives thereof, and immediately destroy all such
copies.
10. Warranty Disclaimers. THE SOFTWARE AND DOCUMENTATION ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF
ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY WARRANTY OF
MERCHANTABILITY, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. MICROCHIP AND ITS
LICENSORS ASSUME NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE ACCURACY, RELIABILITY OR APPLICATION OF THE SOFTWARE OR
DOCUMENTATION. MICROCHIP AND ITS LICENSORS DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SOFTWARE WILL MEET
REQUIREMENTS OF LICENSEE OR THIRD PARTY, BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE. MICROCHIP AND ITS
LICENSORS HAVE NO OBLIGATION TO CORRECT ANY DEFECTS IN THE SOFTWARE.
11. Limited Liability
. IN NO EVENT WILL MICROCHIP OR ITS LICENSORS BE LIABLE OR OBLIGATED UNDER ANY
LEGAL OR EQUITABLE THEORY FOR ANY DIRECT OR INDIRECT DAMAGES OR EXPENSES INCLUDING BUT NOT
LIMITED TO INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, INDIRECT, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOST PROFITS OR LOST
DATA, COST OF PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS, TECHNOLOGY, SERVICES, OR ANY CLAIMS BY THIRD PARTIES
(INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY DEFENSE THEREOF), OR OTHER SIMILAR COSTS. The aggregate and cumulative
liability of Microchip and its licensors for damages hereunder will in no event exceed $1000 or the amount Licensee paid Microchip for the
Software and Documentation, whichever is greater. Licensee acknowledges that the foregoing limitations are reasonable and an essential
part of this Agreement.
12. General
. THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED UNDER THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF
ARIZONA AND THE UNITED STATES WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAWS PROVISIONS. Licensee agrees that any disputes
arising out of or related to this Agreement, Software or Documentation will be brought exclusively in either the U.S. District Court for the District
of Arizona, Phoenix Division, or the Superior Court of Arizona located in Maricopa County, Arizona. This Agreement will constitute the entire
agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. It will not be modified except by a written agreement signed by an
authorized representative of Microchip. If any provision of this Agreement will be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, invalid or
unenforceable, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that this Agreement will otherwise remain in full
force and effect and enforceable. No waiver of any breach of any provision of this Agreement will constitute a waiver of any prior, concurrent or
subsequent breach of the same or any other provisions hereof, and no waiver will be effective unless made in writing and signed by an authorized
representative of the waiving party. Licensee agrees to comply with all import and export laws and restrictions and regulations of the Department
of Commerce or other United States or foreign agency or authority. The indemnities, obligations of confidentiality, and limitations on liability
described herein, and any right of action for breach of this Agreement prior to termination, will survive any termination of this Agreement. Any
prohibited assignment will be null and void. Use, duplication or disclosure by the United States Government is subject to restrictions set forth
in subparagraphs (a) through (d) of the Commercial Computer-Restricted Rights clause of FAR 52.227-19 when applicable, or in
subparagraph (c)(1)(ii) of the Rights in Technical Data and Computer Software clause at DFARS 252.227-7013, and in similar clauses in the
