test, manufacture or certify the
Licensed Software for use in the context of a Critical Application and NVIDIA shall not be liable 
to you or any third party, in whole or

party licenses required to make, have made, use, have used, sell, import, and offer for sale your 
products or services that include or
incorporate any Third Party Components and content relating to audio and/or video encoders and 
decoders from, including but not
limited to, Microsoft, Thomson, Fraunhofer IIS, Sisvel S.p.A., MPEG-LA, and Coding Technologies as

encoders and decoders.
2.3
Limited Rights. Your rights in the Licensed Software are limited to those expressly granted under 
the AGREEMENT and no

rights, title and interest in and to the
Licensed Software not expressly granted under the AGREEMENT.
3. CONFIDENTIALITY. Neither party will use the other party’s Confidential Information, except as 
necessary for the performance of
the AGREEMENT, nor will either party disclose such Confidential Information to any third party, 
except to personnel of NVIDIA and
its Affiliates, you, your Enterprise, your Enterprise Contractors, and each party’s legal and 
financial advisors that have a need to
know such Confidential Information for the performance of the AGREEMENT, provided that each such 
personnel, employee and
Contractor is subject to a written agreement that includes confidentiality obligations consistent 
with those set forth herein. Each
party will use all reasonable efforts to maintain the confidentiality of all of the other party’s 
Confidential Information in its
possession or control, but in no event less than the efforts that it ordinarily uses with respect 
to its own Confidential Information of
similar nature and importance. The foregoing obligations will not restrict either party from 
disclosing the other party’s Confidential
Information or the terms and conditions of the AGREEMENT as required under applicable securities 
regulations or pursuant to the
order or requirement of a court, administrative agency, or other governmental body, provided that 
the party required to make such
disclosure (i) gives reasonable notice to the other party to enable it to contest such order or 
requirement prior to its disclosure
(whether through protective orders or otherwise), (ii) uses reasonable effort to obtain 
confidential treatment or similar protection
to the fullest extent possible to avoid such public disclosure, and (iii) discloses only the 
minimum amount of information necessary
to comply with such requirements.
4. OWNERSHIP. You are not obligated to disclose to NVIDIA any modifications that you, your 
Enterprise or your Contractors make
to the Licensed Software as permitted under the AGREEMENT. As between the parties, all 
modifications are owned by NVIDIA and
licensed to you under the AGREEMENT unless otherwise expressly provided in a Supplement. The 
Licensed Software and all
modifications owned by NVIDIA, and the respective Intellectual Property Rights therein, are and 
will remain the sole and exclusive
property of NVIDIA or its licensors, whether the Licensed Software is separate from or combined 
with any other products or
materials. You shall not engage in any act or omission that would impair NVIDIA’s and/or its 
licensors’ Intellectual Property
Rights in the Licensed Software or any other materials, information, processes or subject matter 
proprietary to NVIDIA. NVIDIA’s
licensors are intended third party beneficiaries with the right to enforce provisions of the 
AGREEMENT with respect to their
Confidential Information and/or Intellectual Property Rights.
5. FEEDBACK. You have no obligation to provide Feedback to NVIDIA. However, NVIDIA and/or its 
Affiliates may use and include
any Feedback that you provide to improve the Licensed Software or other NVIDIA products, 
technologies or materials. Accordingly, if
you provide Feedback, you agree that NVIDIA and/or its Affiliates, at their option, may, and may 
permit their licensees, to make,
have made, use, have used, reproduce, license, distribute and otherwise commercialize the Feedback 
in the Licensed Software or in
other NVIDIA products, technologies or materials without the payment of any royalties or fees to 
you. All Feedback becomes the
sole property of NVIDIA and may be used in any manner NVIDIA sees fit, and you hereby assign to 
NVIDIA all of your right, title and
interest in and to any Feedback. NVIDIA has no obligation to respond to Feedback or to incorporate 
Feedback into the Licensed
Software.
6. NO WARRANTIES. THE LICENSED SOFTWARE AND ANY OTHER CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION AND/OR SERVICES ARE
PROVIDED BY NVIDIA “AS IS” AND “WITH ALL FAULTS,” AND NVIDIA EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER 
WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND
OR NATURE, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY WARRANTIES OF 
OPERABILITY,
CONDITION, VALUE, ACCURACY OF DATA, OR QUALITY, AS WELL AS ANY WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, 
SYSTEM
INTEGRATION, WORKMANSHIP, SUITABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON -IN FRIN GE ME N T, OR 
THE ABSENCE OF
ANY DEFECTS THEREIN, WHETHER LATENT OR PATENT. NO WARRANTY IS MADE BY NVIDIA ON THE BASIS OF TRADE 
USAGE,
COURSE OF DEALING OR COURSE OF TRADE. NVIDIA DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE LICENSED SOFTWARE OR ANY 
OTHER
CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION AND/OR SERVICES PROVIDED BY NVIDIA UNDER THE AGREEMENT WILL MEET YOUR
REQUIREMENTS OR THAT THE OPERATION THEREOF WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE, OR THAT ALL ERRORS 
WILL BE
CORRECTED. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT NVIDIA’S OBLIGATIONS UNDER THE AGREEMENT ARE FOR THE BENEFIT OF 
YOU ONLY.
Nothing in this warranty section affects any statutory rights of consumers or other recipients to 
the extent that they cannot be
waived or limited by contract under applicable law.

7. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, NVIDIA OR ITS LICENSORS SHALL 
NOT BE LIABLE FOR
ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, OR ANY LOST PROFITS, LOSS OF USE, LOSS 
OF DATA OR LOSS
OF GOODWILL, OR THE COSTS OF PROCURING SUBSTITUTE PRODUCTS, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH 
THE AGREEMENT
OR THE USE OR PERFORMANCE OF THE LICENSED SOFTWARE AND ANY OTHER CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION AND/OR 
SERVICES
PROVIDED BY NVIDIA UNDER THE AGREEMENT, WHETHER SUCH LIABILITY ARISES FROM ANY CLAIM BASED UPON 
BREACH OF
CONTRACT, BREACH OF WARRANTY, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), PRODUCT LIABILITY OR ANY OTHER CAUSE OF 
ACTION OR
THEORY OF LIABILITY. IN NO EVENT WILL NVIDIA’S TOTAL CUMULATIVE LIABILITY UNDER OR ARISING OUT OF 
THE AGREEMENT
EXCEED THE NET AMOUNTS RECEIVED BY NVIDIA FOR YOUR USE OF THE PARTICULAR LICENSED SOFTWARE DURING 
THE TWELVE
(12) MONTHS BEFORE THE LIABILITY AROSE (or up to US$10.00 if you acquired the Licensed Software for 
no charge). THE NATURE OF
THE LIABILITY, THE NUMBER OF CLAIMS OR SUITS OR THE NUMBER OF PARTIES WITHIN YOUR ENTERPRISE THAT 
ACCEPTED THE
TERMS OF THE AGREEMENT SHALL NOT ENLARGE OR EXTEND THIS LIMIT. THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS SHALL 
APPLY REGARDLESS
OF WHETHER NVIDIA OR ITS LICENSORS HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES AND 
REGARDLESS OF
WHETHER ANY REMEDY FAILS ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE. The disclaimers, exclusions and limitations of 
liability set forth in the
AGREEMENT form an essential basis of the bargain between the parties, and, absent any such 
disclaimers, exclusions or limitations of
liability, the provisions of the AGREEMENT, including, without limitation, the economic terms, 
would be substantially different.
8.

In connection with the receipt of the Licensed Software or services you may receive access to links 
to third party websites and
services and the availability of those links does not imply any endorsement by NVIDIA. NVIDIA 
encourages you to review the privacy
statements on those sites and services that you choose to visit so that you can understand how they 
may collect, use and share
personal information of individuals. NVIDIA is not responsible or liable for: (i) the availability 
or accuracy of such links; or (ii) the
products, services or information available on or through such links; or (iii) the privacy 
statements or practices of sites and services
controlled by other companies or organizations.
To the extent that you or members of your Enterprise provide to NVIDIA during registration or 
otherwise personal information, you
acknowledge that such information will be collected, used and disclosed by NVIDIA in accordance 
with NVIDIA's privacy policy,
available at URL http://www.nvidia.com/object/privacy_policy.html.
10. GENERAL.
This SLA, any Supplements incorporated hereto, and Orders constitute the entire agreement of the 
parties with respect to the
subject matter hereto and supersede all prior negotiations, conversations, or discussions between 
the parties relating to the subject
matter hereto, oral or written, and all past dealings or industry custom. Any additional and/or 
conflicting terms and conditions on
purchase order(s) or any other documents issued by you are null, void, and invalid. Any amendment 
or waiver under the
AGREEMENT must be in writing and signed by representatives of both parties.
The AGREEMENT and the rights and obligations thereunder may not be assigned by you, in whole or in 
part, including by merger,
consolidation, dissolution, operation of law, or any other manner, without written consent of 
NVIDIA, and any purported assignment
in violation of this provision shall be void and of no effect. NVIDIA may assign, delegate or 
transfer the AGREEMENT and its rights and
obligations hereunder, and if to a non-Affiliate you will be notified.
Each party acknowledges and agrees that the other is an independent contractor in the performance 
of the AGREEMENT, and each
party is solely responsible for all of its employees, agents, contractors, and labor costs and 
expenses arising in connection therewith.
The parties are not partners, joint ventures or otherwise affiliated, and neither has any authority 
to make any statements,
representations or commitments of any kind to bind the other party without prior written consent.
Neither party will be responsible for any failure or delay in its performance under the AGREEMENT 
(except for any payment
obligations) to the extent due to causes beyond its reasonable control for so long as such force 
majeure event continues in effect.
The AGREEMENT will be governed by and construed under the laws of the State of Delaware and the 
United States without regard
to the conflicts of law provisions thereof and without regard to the United Nations Convention on 
Contracts for the International
Sale of Goods. The parties consent to the personal jurisdiction of the federal and state courts 
located in Santa Clara County,
California. You acknowledge and agree that a breach of any of your promises or agreements contained 
in the AGREEMENT may
result in irreparable and continuing injury to NVIDIA for which monetary damages may not be an 
adequate remedy and therefore
NVIDIA is entitled to seek injunctive relief as well as such other and further relief as may be 
appropriate. If any court of competent
jurisdiction determines that any provision of the AGREEMENT is illegal, invalid or unenforceable, 
the remaining provisions will
remain in full force and effect. Unless otherwise specified, remedies are cumulative.

Computer Software - Restricted
Rights clause at FAR 52.227-19, as applicable. Contractor/manufacturer is NVIDIA, 2701 San Tomas

You acknowledge that the Licensed Software described under the AGREEMENT is subject to export 
control under the U.S. Export
Administration Regulations (EAR) and economic sanctions regulations administered by the U.S.

responsible for any violation of the U.S. or
other applicable export control or economic sanctions laws, regulations and requirements related to

cuDNN SUPPLEMENT TO SOFTWARE LICENSE AGREEMENT
Release date: January 5, 2017
The terms set forth in this cuDNN Supplement (“Supplement”) govern your use of the CUDA Deep 
Neural Network library (cuDNN)
(the “cuDNN Licensed Software”) under the terms of your software license agreement (“SLA”) 
as modified by this Supplement. This
Supplement is an exhibit to the SLA and is hereby incorporated as an integral part thereto. 
Capitalized terms used but not defined
herein shall have the meaning assigned to them in the SLA. In the event of conflict between the 
terms in this Supplement and the
terms in the SLA, this Supplement shall control.
1. CUDNN DISTRIBUTION. Subject to the terms of the SLA and this Supplement, NVIDIA hereby grants 
you a non-exclusive, nontransferable license during the applicable license term unless earlier 
terminated pursuant to the SLA, to distribute the runtime files
(.so, .h) when delivered to you as part of the cuDNN Licensed Software in source code form or 
binary form (but not when provided to
you as part of a hardware product), subject to such distribution being solely in binary form to 
your licensees (“Customers”) only as a
component of your own software products having additional material functionality beyond the 
redistributable cuDNN Licensed
Software (each, a “Licensee Application"). Subject to the terms and conditions of the SLA and 
this Supplement, you may further
authorize Customers to redistribute the cuDNN Licensed Software as incorporated into a Licensee 
Application, solely in binary form,
provided, however, that you shall require in your agreements with your Customers that their 
distributions be on terms at least as
restrictive as those applicable for your use of the cuDNN Licensed Software within a Licensee 
Application. The expiration or
termination of your licenses to the cuDNN Licensed Software under the SLA and this Supplement will 
not affect your previous cuDNN
distributions in compliance with the SLA and this Supplement.
The above distributions are subject to the following: (a) all distributions by you or your 
distribution channels must be consistent with
the terms of the AGREEMENT; (b) the distributed cuDNN License Software must include valid copyright 
notices indicating NVIDIA’s
ownership of the Licensed Software and (if permitted) modifications; and (c) you must enter into 
enforceable agreements that pass
down terms consistent with the terms set forth in the AGREEMENT for use of the distributable cuDNN 
License Software, including
(without limitation) terms relating to the license grant and license restrictions, confidentiality 
and protection of NVIDIA’s Intellectual
Property Rights in and to the cuDNN Licensed Software. You are liable for the distribution and use 
of cuDNN Licensed Software if you
failed to comply with the distribution requirements of this Supplement. You agree to notify NVIDIA 
in writing of any known or
suspected distribution or use of the cuDNN Licensed Software not in compliance with the terms of 
the AGREEMENT, and to enforce
the terms of your agreements with respect to cuDNN Licensed Software you distributed.
2. LICENSE DURATION. Each cuDNN Licensed Software is licensed to you for an initial duration of one 
year starting from the date of
delivery or download. The licenses granted will automatically renew for successive one year 
periods, provided that NVIDIA reserves
the right to terminate licenses upon ninety days (90) days written notice to you prior to the 
commencement of a renewal year in
addition to the termination rights set forth in the SLA.
3. AUDIT. During the term of the AGREEMENT and for three (3) years thereafter, you will maintain 
all usual and proper books and
records of account relating to the cuDNN Licensed Software and services provided under the 
AGREEMENT. During such period and
upon written notice to you, NVIDIA or its authorized third party auditors subject to 
confidentiality obligations will have the right to
inspect and audit your Enterprise books and records for the purpose of confirming compliance with 
the terms of the AGREEMENT.
Any such inspection and audit will be conducted during regular business hours and no more 
frequently than annually unless noncompliance was previously found. If such an inspection and audit 
reveals an underpayment of any amounts payable to NVIDIA, then
you will promptly remit the full amount of such underpayment to NVIDIA, including interest accruing 
(without the requirement of a
notice) from the time underpayment began at the lower of 1.5% per month or the highest rate 
permissible by law. If the underpaid
amount exceeds five percent (5%) of the amounts payable to NVIDIA for the period audited and/or 
such an inspection and audit
reveals a material non-conformance with the terms of the AGREEMENT, then you will also pay 
NVIDIA’s reasonable costs of
conducting the inspection and audit. Further, you agree that the party delivering the cuDNN 
Licensed Software to you may collect
and disclose to NVIDIA information for NVIDIA to verify your compliance with the terms of the 
AGREEMENT including (without
limitation) information regarding your use of the cuDNN Licensed Software.
4. EXPIRATION OF TERMINATION OF THIS SUPPLEMENT. Your failure to comply with the terms of this 
Supplement is ground for
termination for breach by NVIDIA under the SLA. This Supplement will automatically expire or 
terminate upon the expiration or
termination of your rights to cuDNN Licensed Software under the SLA or this Supplement.
