                                EVALUATION BOARD/KIT/MODULE (EVM)
                              WARNINGS, RESTRICTIONS AND DISCLAIMERS

For Feasibility Evaluation Only, in Laboratory/Development Environments. Unless otherwise indicated,
this EVM is not a finished electrical equipment and not intended for consumer use. It is intended solely for use
for preliminary feasibility evaluation in laboratory/development environments by technically qualified electronics
experts who are familiar with the dangers and application risks associated with handling electrical mechanical
components, systems and subsystems. It should not be used as all or part of a finished end product.

Your Sole Responsibility and Risk. You acknowledge, represent and agree that:

1. You have unique knowledge concerning Federal, State and local regulatory requirements (including but
   not limited to Food and Drug Administration regulations, if applicable) which relate to your products and
   which relate to your use (and/or that of your employees, affiliates, contractors or designees) of the EVM for
   evaluation, testing and other purposes.

2. You have full and exclusive responsibility to assure the safety and compliance of your products with all
   such laws and other applicable regulatory requirements, and also to assure the safety of any activities to
   be conducted by you and/or your employees, affiliates, contractors or designees, using the EVM. Further,
   you are responsible to assure that any interfaces (electronic and/or mechanical) between the EVM and any
   human body are designed with suitable isolation and means to safely limit accessible leakage currents to
   minimize the risk of electrical shock hazard.

3. You will employ reasonable safeguards to ensure that your use of the EVM will not result in any property
   damage, injury or death, even if the EVM should fail to perform as described or expected.

4. You will take care of proper disposal and recycling of the EVM’s electronic components and packing
   materials

Certain Instructions. It is important to operate this EVM within TI’s recommended specifications and
environmental considerations per the user guidelines. Exceeding the specified EVM ratings (including but not
limited to input and output voltage, current, power, and environmental ranges) may cause property damage,
personal injury or death. If there are questions concerning these ratings please contact a TI field representative
prior to connecting interface electronics including input power and intended loads. Any loads applied outside of
the specified output range may result in unintended and/or inaccurate operation and/or possible permanent
damage to the EVM and/or interface electronics. Please consult the EVM User's Guide prior to connecting any
load to the EVM output. If there is uncertainty as to the load specification, please contact a TI field
representative. During normal operation, some circuit components may have case temperatures greater than
60 C as long as the input and output are maintained at a normal ambient operating temperature. These
components include but are not limited to linear regulators, switching transistors, pass transistors, and current
sense resistors which can be identified using the EVM schematic located in the EVM User's Guide. When
placing measurement probes near these devices during normal operation, please be aware that these devices
may be very warm to the touch. As with all electronic evaluation tools, only qualified personnel knowledgeable
in electronic measurement and diagnostics normally found in development environments should use these
EVMs

Agreement to Defend, Indemnify and Hold Harmless. You agree to defend, indemnify and hold TI, its
licensors and their representatives harmless from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, expenses,
costs and liabilities (collectively, "Claims") arising out of or in connection with any use of the EVM that is not in
accordance with the terms of the agreement. This obligation shall apply whether Claims arise under law of tort
or contract or any other legal theory, and even if the EVM fails to perform as described or expected.

Safety-Critical or Life-Critical Applications. If you intend to evaluate the components for possible use in
safety critical applications (such as life support) where a failure of the TI product would reasonably be expected
to cause severe personal injury or death, such as devices which are classified as FDA Class III or similar
classification, then you must specifically notify TI of such intent and enter into a separate Assurance and
Indemnity Agreement.
