GRANT OF LICENSE TO USE. Microsoft grants to Company the non-exclusive, non-assignable right to make an indeterminate number of copies of the enclosed Microsoft prototype software in object code form (the "MS Code") and to use such copies on Company's computers for the sole purposes of designing, developing, and testing a software product, including but not limited to applications and device driver(s) for the Microsoft Windows graphical environment or any other environment in which the prototype code is designed to operate. The MS Code shall not be copied or used for any other purposes, and Company agrees to destroy or erase all but a maximum of five (5) archival copies of the MS Code upon Microsoft's release of the MS Code in final form. 2. PRE-RELEASE CODE. The MS Code is prototype code and is not at the level of performance and compatibility of the final, generally available product offering. The MS Code may not operate correctly and may be substantially modified prior to first customer shipment. 3. OTHER RESTRICTIONS. Company may not rent or lease the MS Code, or otherwise transfer the MS Code and accompanying written materials. Company may not disclose, distribute or disseminate the MS Code in any media except to Company's permanent employees and on-site consultants who have a need to know. Company expressly undertakes to retain in confidence and to require Company's employees and consultants to retain in confidence all information and know-how transmitted to Company by Microsoft, that Microsoft has identified as proprietary or confidential or that, by the nature of the circumstances surrounding the disclosure, ought in good faith to be treated as proprietary or confidential, and will make no use of such information and know- how except under the terms of this agreement. Company is required to execute appropriate written agreements with Company's employees and consultants sufficient to enable Company to comply with all provisions of this agreement. The above non- disclosure provisions shall terminate when the confidential information becomes publicly available through no fault of Company. 4. NO WARRANTIES. Because the MS Code constitutes prototype code and may be changed substantially before first customer shipment, the MS Code and accompanying written materials are provided "as is", without warranty of any kind. Microsoft disclaims all warranties, either express or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose. The entire risk arising out of the use or performance of the MS Code and any accompanying written materials remains with Company. 5. NO LIABILITY FOR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES. In no event shall Microsoft or its suppliers be liable for any damages whatsoever (including, without limitation, damages for loss of business profits, business interruption, loss of business information, or other pecuniary loss) arising out of the use of or inability to use this Microsoft product, even if Microsoft has been advised of the possibility of such damages. Because some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, the above limitation may not apply to Company. 6. This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Washington. If either party employs attorneys to enforce any rights arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys fees, costs and expenses. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have caused this Agreement to be executed as of the dates indicated below.
