The Licensed Materials may also include libraries or applications software in a source code format. You may use these programs to create modified or derivative programs that may be reproduced and distributed by you provided that such programs execute solely and exclusively on semiconductor devices manufactured by or for TI and provided further that such programs are distributed only in an object code or executable format. You may not distribute, publish, rent, lease or sub-license the Licensed Materials, or any portion or derivative thereof, in a source code format or transfer or assign this Agreement without TI's prior written permission. c.

An upgrade, update, or plug-in replaces or supplements a previously licensed eligible product. You may use the resulting upgraded product only in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and only to generate applications for use with semiconductor devices manufactured by or for TI. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in the Agreement will be construed as an obligation for TI to maintain or support the Licensed Materials or to provide upgrades, updates or plug-ins to the Licensed Materials. 4.
