PLEASE READ THIS DOCUMENT CAREFULLY BEFORE OPENING THIS PACKAGE.
THIS AGREEMENT STATES THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS UPON WHICH WIND RIVER
SYSTEMS, INC. ("WIND RIVER") OFFERS TO LICENSE TO YOU THE RIGHT TO MAKE A
LIMITED NUMBER OF COPIES OF CERTAIN PORTIONS OF THE VXWORKS DEVELOPMENT SOFTWARE
AND TO INCORPORATE SUCH COPIES PHYSICALLY IN TARGET APPLICATIONS DEVELOPED BY
YOU USING VXWORKS (THE TARGET APPLICATIONS). AMONG OTHER THINGS, THIS AGREEMENT
CONTAINS WARRANTY DISCLAIMERS. BY OPENING THIS PACKAGE YOU ARE AGREEING TO
BECOME BOUND BY THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT.
IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT, DO NOT OPEN THE
PACKAGE. PROMPTLY RETURN THE UNOPENED PACKAGE TO THE PLACE WHERE YOU OBTAINED
IT FOR A FULL REFUND.
THIS AGREEMENT APPLIES TO ALL FILES PROVIDED WITH THE VXWORKS DEVELOPMENT
ENVIRONMENT EXCEPT THE VXWORKS DIRECTORY "bin", SUBDIRECTORY "h", AND THE FILES
ENTITLED "makefile" IN DIRECTORIES "config/all" AND "config/(target)" (THE
"LICENSED FILES"). NO LICENSE IS GRANTED TO ANY OTHER WIND RIVER SOFTWARE UNDER
THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY OTHER PORTION OF VXWORKS.
The Licensed Files are licensed, not sold, to you for use only under the terms
of this Agreement, and Wind River reserves all rights not expressly granted to
you.
1. LICENSE. You (the original licensee) may:
(a) Subject to all of the limitations set forth herein and on the Wind River
Acknowledgment Agreement to which this Target Application License Agreement
applies (the Sales agreement), make only up to the number of copies set forth
above (i.e., the 50 Pack license allows you to make up to 50 copies) of the
Licensed Files in tangible object code form only for physical incorporation
into Target Applications. Each such Licensed File shall be accessible only as
part of a Target Application and not on a stand alone or independent basis. In
no event will Target Applications contain software development functionality.
You agree to affix to each tangible copy of a Target Application containing any
portion of the Licensed Files one of the serially numbered and adhesive labels
contained in this package. In addition, you shall reproduce Wind River's
VxWorks copyright notices as contained in the original in each such copy and in
human-readable form in all copy media.
(b) Distribute the Target Applications incorporating copies of the Licensed
Files made under (a) above throughout the world; provided, however, that each
such copy shall be licensed to the end user under the terms of an end user
license that (i) does not allow further copying of the Licensed Files (except
for backup purposes with retention of Wind River copyright notices), (ii)
expressly disclaims all warranties as to the Licensed Files, (iii) requires the
end user to take precautions that are reasonable under the circumstances to
maintain the confidentiality of the Licensed Files, and (iv) for any licenses to
any United States government agency, provides that the agency is subject to
restrictions substantially similar to those set forth in Section 10 below.
2. RESTRICTIONS. You may only make copies of the Licensed Files only at the
Location (as defined on the Sales Agreement) for use in connection with the
Project (as defined on the Sales Agreement). Unauthorized copying of the
Licensed Files is expressly forbidden. You may be held legally responsible for
any copyright infringement which is caused or encouraged by your failure to
abide by the terms of this Agreement. You may not decompile, reverse engineer,
disassemble or otherwise reduce the Licensed Files in a human perceivable form
or, except as set forth above, disclose them to any third party. You understand

that Wind River may update or revise the Licensed Files and in so doing incurs
no obligation to furnish such updates to you, other than under a valid VxWorks
Maintenance Agreement. You agree to keep records of all copies of the Licensed
Files or any portion thereof made by you. Wind River shall have the right, upon
reasonable notice, to have independent auditors examine your records regarding
such practices. EXCEPT AS SET FORTH ABOVE, UPON TRANSFER OF ANY COPY,
MODIFICATION OR MERGED PORTION OF THE LICENSED FILES TO ANOTHER PARTY, THIS
LICENSE IS AUTOMATICALLY TERMINATED.
3. CONFIDENTIALITY. Wind River considers the Licensed Files to contain valuable
trade secrets of Wind River, the unauthorized disclosure of which could cause
irreparable harm to Wind River. Except as expressly set forth above, you agree
to use reasonable efforts not to disclose the Licensed Files to any third
parties and not to use the Licensed Files other than for the purposes
authorized by this Agreement. This confidentiality obligation shall continue
after any termination of this Agreement.
4. WARRANTY DISCLAIMER. THE LICENSED FILES, WHEN INCORPORATED INTO A TARGET
APPLICATION, ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. WIND RIVER
DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING THE WARRANTIES
OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NONINFRINGEMENT OF
THIRD PARTY RIGHTS.
NO ORAL OR WRITTEN INFORMATION OR ADVICE GIVEN BY WIND RIVER, ITS DEALERS,
DISTRIBUTORS, AGENTS OR EMPLOYEES SHALL CREATE A WARRANTY OR IN ANY WAY
INCREASE THE SCOPE OF THIS WARRANTY AND YOU MAY NOT RELY ON ANY SUCH
INFORMATION OR ADVICE.
5. LIMITED REMEDIES. WIND RIVER SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INCIDENTAL OR
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF BUSINESS, PROFITS OR THE
LIKE) ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE LICENSED FILES EVEN IF
WIND RIVER OR ITS REPRESENTATIVES HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
DAMAGES. THE LIABILITY OF WIND RIVER FOR ANY CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF THIS
AGREEMENT, THE SALES AGREEMENT OR USE OF THE PROGRAM, REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF
ACTION, SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF THE LICENSE FEE FOR THE PROGRAM OR
$500. THE LIMITED WARRANTY, LIMITED REMEDIES AND LIMITED LIABILITY ARE
FUNDAMENTAL ELEMENTS OF THE BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN WIND RIVER AND YOU.
WIND RIVER WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO PROVIDE THE LICENSED FILES WITHOUT SUCH
LIMITATIONS.
6. INDEMNITY. You agree to indemnify, defend and hold Wind River harmless from
any claim, lawsuit, legal proceeding, settlement or judgment (including without
limitation Wind River's reasonable United States and local attorneys' and
expert witnesses' fees and costs) arising out of or in connection with the
copying, marketing, performance or other distribution of the Target
Applications.
7. SUPPORT AND MAINTENANCE. Except as may be provided in a separate agreement
between Wind River and you, if any, Wind River is under no obligation to
maintain or support the copies of the Licensed Files made and distributed
hereunder and Wind River has no obligation to furnish you with any further
assistance, documentation or information of any nature or kind. You are solely
responsible for the support and maintenance of all portions of any Target
Applications you develop.
8. TERMINATION. This Agreement is effective until terminated. Except for
Sections 2 through 6 (which will survive any termination of this Agreement),
this Agreement will continue until your breach of this Agreement. Upon
termination, you agree not to use the Licensed Files for any purpose whatsoever
and to destroy any copy of the Licensed Files then in your possession. This
remedy shall be in addition to any other remedies available to Wind River. Any
valid licenses to Target Applications incorporating Licensed Files granted by
you under this Agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

and exclusive statement of the agreement between Wind River and you, which

of this Agreement, the successful or prevailing party or parties shall be
entitled to recover reasonable attorneys' fees and other costs incurred in that
action or proceeding, in addition to any other relief to which such party may
