Section 1) for execution on the specified Platforms, excluding the Deployment
Platforms. Copies of Redistributables may only be distributed with and for the
sole purpose of executing Applications permitted under this Agreement that
Licensee has created using the Licensed Software. Under no circumstances may
any copies of Redistributables be distributed separately. This Agreement does

except as provided by a separate runtime distribution license with Digia or one
of its authorized distributors. A joint hardware and software distribution
shall be defined as either:
(i) distribution of a hardware device where, in its final end user

version of any Qt or Qt-based software product; or
(ii) distribution of the Licensed Software with a device designed to facilitate
the installation of the Licensed Software onto the same device where the main
user interface of such device is provided by Application(s) created by Licensee
or others, using a commercial version of a Qt or Qt-based product, and depends
on the Licensed Software.
c) Licensee's distribution of Licensed Software and/or Modified Software or
Applications on Deployment Platforms requires a separate distribution license
from Digia. Notwithstanding the above limitation, Licensee may distribute the
Application in binary/compiled form onto devices running Windows CE provided the
core functionality of the device does not depend on either the Licensed Software
or the Application.
5.3 Further Requirements

mobile phones, telecommunications devices or tablet devices focused at end-user
consumers. The licenses granted in this Section 5 by Digia to Licensee are
subject to Licensee's compliance with Section 8 of this Agreement.
6. VERIFICATION
Digia or a certified auditor on Digia's behalf, may, upon its reasonable request
and at its expense, audit Licensee with respect to the use of the Licensed
Software. Such audit may be conducted by mail, electronic means or through an
in-person visit to Licensee's place of business. Any such in-person audit shall
be conducted during regular business hours at Licensee's facilities and shall
not unreasonably interfere with Licensee's business activities. Digia will not
remove, copy, or redistribute any electronic material during the course of an
audit. If an audit reveals that Licensee is using the Licensed Software in a
way that is in material violation of the terms of the Agreement, then Licensee
shall pay Digia's reasonable costs of conducting the audit. In the case of a
material violation, Licensee agrees to pay Digia any amounts owing that are
attributable to the unauthorized use. In the alternative, Digia reserves the
right, at Digia's sole option, to terminate the licenses for the Licensed
Software.
7. THIRD PARTY SOFTWARE

Licensed Software. Licensee acknowledges (i) that some part of Third Party
Software may require additional licensing of copyright and patents from the
owners of such, and (ii) that distribution of any of the Licensed Software
referencing any portion of a Third Party Software may require appropriate
licensing from such third parties.

warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose, title and
non-infringement with regard to the Licensed Software.

at Digia's terms and conditions applicable at the time of renewal.
12. CONFIDENTIALITY
Each party acknowledges that during the Initial Term of this Agreement it shall
have access to information about the other party's business, business methods,
business plans, customers, business relations, technology, and other
information, including the terms of this Agreement, that is confidential and of
great value to the other party, and the value of which would be significantly
reduced if disclosed to third parties (the "Confidential Information").
Accordingly, when a party (the "Receiving Party") receives Confidential
Information from another party (the "Disclosing Party"), the Receiving Party
shall, and shall obligate its employees and agents and employees and agents of
its affiliates to: (i) maintain the Confidential Information in strict
confidence; (ii) not disclose the Confidential Information to a third party
without the Disclosing Party's prior written approval; and (iii) not, directly
or indirectly, use the Confidential Information for any purpose other than for
exercising its rights and fulfilling its responsibilities pursuant to this
Agreement. Each party shall take reasonable measures to protect the
Confidential Information of the other party, which measures shall not be less
than the measures taken by such party to protect its own confidential and
proprietary information.
"Confidential Information" shall not include information that (a) is or becomes
generally known to the public through no act or omission of the Receiving Party;
(b) was in the Receiving Party's lawful possession prior to the disclosure
hereunder and was not subject to limitations on disclosure or use; (c) is
developed by employees of the Receiving Party or other persons working for the
Receiving Party who have not had access to the Confidential Information of the

Disclosing Party as proven by the written records of the Receiving Party; (d) is
lawfully disclosed to the Receiving Party without restrictions, by a third party
not under an obligation of confidentiality; or (e) the Receiving Party is
legally compelled to disclose the information, in which case the Receiving Party
shall assert the privileged and confidential nature of the information and
cooperate fully with the Disclosing Party to protect against and prevent
disclosure of any Confidential Information and to limit the scope of disclosure
and the dissemination of disclosed Confidential Information by all legally
available means.
The obligations of the Receiving Party under this Section shall continue during
the Initial Term and for a period of five (5) years after expiration or
termination of this Agreement. To the extent that the terms of the
Non-Disclosure Agreement between Digia and Licensee conflict with the terms of
this Section 12, this Section 12 shall be controlling over the terms of the
Non-Disclosure Agreement.

This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the federal
laws of the United States of America and the internal laws of the State of New
York without given effect to any choice of law rule that would result in the
application of the laws of any other jurisdiction. The United Nations
Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) shall not
apply. Each Party (a) hereby irrevocably submits itself to and consents to the
jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of
New York (or if such court lacks jurisdiction, the state courts of the State of
New York) for the purposes of any action, claim, suit or proceeding between the
Parties in connection with any controversy, claim, or dispute arising out of or
relating to this Agreement; and (b) hereby waives, and agrees not to assert by
way of motion, as a defence or otherwise, in any such action, claim, suit or
proceeding, any claim that is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of such
court(s), that the action, claim, suit or proceeding is brought in an
inconvenient forum or that the venue of the action, claim, suit or proceeding is
improper. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 13.10 is
intended to, or shall be deemed to, constitute a submission or consent to, or
selection of, jurisdiction, forum or venue for any action for patent
infringement, whether or not such action relates to this Agreement.
13.11 No Implied License
There are no implied licenses or other implied rights granted under this
Agreement, and all rights, save for those expressly granted hereunder, shall
remain with Digia and its licensors. In addition, no licenses or immunities are

of the United States. The following shall apply if Licensee is a U.S.
Government End User. The Licensed Software is a "commercial item," as that term
is defined in 48 C.F.R. 2.101 (Oct. 1995), consisting of "commercial computer
software" and "commercial computer software documentation," as such terms are
used in 48 C.F.R. 12.212 (Sept. 1995). Consistent with 48 C.F.R. 12.212 and 48
C.F.R. 227.7202-1 through 227.7202-4 (June 1995), all U.S. Government End Users
