The Software and Documentation are licensed under this Agreement and not sold.

Microchip reserves all rights not expressly granted to Licensee in this Agreement.

		(i)  Use and install one copy of the Software on a single computer, including a workstation, terminal, or other digital electronic device which utilizes a Microchip TSHARC touch screen controller; 

		(ii)  With respect to storage and network use, store or install a copy of the Software on a storage device, such as a network server, used only to install or run the Software on Licensee’s other computers over an internal network; however, Licensee must acquire and dedicate a license for each separate computer on or from which the Software is installed, used, accessed, displayed, or run.  A license for the Software may not be shared or used concurrently on different computers.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any number of computers may access or otherwise utilize the file and print services and peer web services of the Software.  In addition, Licensee may use the "Multiple Display" feature of the Software to expand Licensee’s desktop as described in the online Help file, without obtaining a license for each display; and 

		(iii)  If this package is a Users License Pak, Licensee may install and use additional copies of the computer software portion of the Software up to the number of copies specified above as "Licensed Copies." 
 

(b)	Documentation License Grant.  Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Microchip grants strictly to Licensee a personal, worldwide, non-exclusive, non-transferable limited license to use the Documentation in support of Licensee’s authorized use of the Software.

2.	Licensee Obligations.

(a)	Licensee will not:  (i) engage in unauthorized use, modification, disclosure, or distribution of Software or Documentation; (ii) use all or any portion of the Software or  Documentation except in conjunction with Microchip TSHARC touch screen controller; or (iii) reverse engineer (by disassembly, decompilation or otherwise) Software or any portion thereof.  

(b)	Licensee may not remove or alter any copyright, trademark, and other proprietary notices posted in any portion of the Software or Documentation.  

	(c)	Licensee will defend, indemnify and hold Microchip and its subsidiaries harmless from and against any and all claims, costs, damages, expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees), liabilities, and losses, including without limitation product liability claims, directly or indirectly arising from or related to:  (i) the unauthorized use, modification, disclosure, or distribution of the Software or Documentation; (ii) Software modifications made by Microchip in compliance with Licensee’s requirements, if any; and (iii) any infringement claims arising from or related to the sale of Licensee products that use or incorporate the Software.

3.	Confidentiality.  

(a)	Licensee agrees that the Software, 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 shall similarly bind its employees in writing.  Proprietary Information shall 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) Licensee can demonstrate was developed by it independently and without use of or reference to the Proprietary Information; or (iii) Licensee lawfully receives from a third party without restriction on disclosure.  If Licensee is required to disclose Proprietary Information by law, court order, or government agency, such disclosure shall not be deemed a breach of this Agreement provided that Licensee gives Microchip prompt notice of such requirement in order to allow Microchip to object or limit such disclosure, Licensee cooperates with Microchip to protect Proprietary Information, and Licensee complies with any protective order in place and discloses only the information required by process of law.  

(b)	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 damages alone cannot adequately compensate Microchip or its licensors if such provisions are violated.  Licensee, therefore, agrees that if Microchip alleges that Licensee has breached or violated such provision then Microchip will have the right to petition for injunctive relief, without the requirement for the posting of a bond, in addition to all other remedies at law or in equity.

4.	Ownership of Proprietary Rights.
