 111 such Contributor's behalf. Contributions do not include additions to the
 112 Program which: (i) are separate modules of software distributed in conjunction

 130

 135 display, publicly perform, distribute and sublicense the Contribution of such

 138
 139 <p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>b)
 140 Subject to the terms of this Agreement, each Contributor hereby grants
 141 Recipient a non-exclusive, worldwide,<span style='color:green'> </span>royalty-free
 142 patent license under Licensed Patents to make, use, sell, offer to sell, import
 143 and otherwise transfer the Contribution of such Contributor, if any, in source
 144 code and object code form. This patent license shall apply to the combination
 145 of the Contribution and the Program if, at the time the Contribution is added
 146 by the Contributor, such addition of the Contribution causes such combination
 147 to be covered by the Licensed Patents. The patent license shall not apply to
 148 any other combinations which include the Contribution. No hardware per se is
 149 licensed hereunder. </span></p>
 150
 151 <p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>c)
 152 Recipient understands that although each Contributor grants the licenses to its
 153 Contributions set forth herein, no assurances are provided by any Contributor
 154 that the Program does not infringe the patent or other intellectual property
 155 rights of any other entity. Each Contributor disclaims any liability to Recipient
 156 for claims brought by any other entity based on infringement of intellectual
 157 property rights or otherwise. As a condition to exercising the rights and
 158 licenses granted hereunder, each Recipient hereby assumes sole responsibility
 159 to secure any other intellectual property rights needed, if any. For example,
 160 if a third party patent license is required to allow Recipient to distribute
 161 the Program, it is Recipient's responsibility to acquire that license before
 162 distributing the Program.</span></p>

 173 </p>
 174
 175 <p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>a)

 211 copyright notices contained within the Program. </span></p>
 212
 213 <p><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>Each Contributor must identify itself as the
 214 originator of its Contribution, if any, in a manner that reasonably allows
 215 subsequent Recipients to identify the originator of the Contribution. </span></p>
 216
 217 <p><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>4. COMMERCIAL DISTRIBUTION</span></b> </p>
 218
 219 <p><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>Commercial distributors of software may
 220 accept certain responsibilities with respect to end users, business partners
 221 and the like. While this license is intended to facilitate the commercial use
 222 of the Program, the Contributor who includes the Program in a commercial
 223 product offering should do so in a manner which does not create potential
 224 liability for other Contributors. Therefore, if a Contributor includes the
 225 Program in a commercial product offering, such Contributor (&quot;Commercial
 226 Contributor&quot;) hereby agrees to defend and indemnify every other
 227 Contributor (&quot;Indemnified Contributor&quot;) against any losses, damages and
 228 costs (collectively &quot;Losses&quot;) arising from claims, lawsuits and other
 229 legal actions brought by a third party against the Indemnified Contributor to
 230 the extent caused by the acts or omissions of such Commercial Contributor in
 231 connection with its distribution of the Program in a commercial product
 232 offering. The obligations in this section do not apply to any claims or Losses
 233 relating to any actual or alleged intellectual property infringement. In order
 234 to qualify, an Indemnified Contributor must: a) promptly notify the Commercial
 235 Contributor in writing of such claim, and b) allow the Commercial Contributor
 236 to control, and cooperate with the Commercial Contributor in, the defense and
 237 any related settlement negotiations. The Indemnified Contributor may participate
 238 in any such claim at its own expense.</span> </p>
 239
 240 <p><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>For example, a Contributor might include the
 241 Program in a commercial product offering, Product X. That Contributor is then a
 242 Commercial Contributor. If that Commercial Contributor then makes performance
 243 claims, or offers warranties related to Product X, those performance claims and
 244 warranties are such Commercial Contributor's responsibility alone. Under this
 245 section, the Commercial Contributor would have to defend claims against the
 246 other Contributors related to those performance claims and warranties, and if a
 247 court requires any other Contributor to pay any damages as a result, the
 248 Commercial Contributor must pay those damages.</span> </p>

 251
 252 <p><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS
 253 AGREEMENT, THE PROGRAM IS PROVIDED ON AN &quot;AS IS&quot; BASIS, WITHOUT

 256 MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. Each Recipient is solely
 257 responsible for determining the appropriateness of using and distributing the

 286 Recipient's rights granted under Section 2(b) shall terminate as of the date
 287 such litigation is filed. </span></p>
 288
 289 <p><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>All Recipient's rights under this Agreement
 290 shall terminate if it fails to comply with any of the material terms or
 291 conditions of this Agreement and does not cure such failure in a reasonable
 292 period of time after becoming aware of such noncompliance. If all Recipient's
 293 rights under this Agreement terminate, Recipient agrees to cease use and
 294 distribution of the Program as soon as reasonably practicable. However,
 295 Recipient's obligations under this Agreement and any licenses granted by
 296 Recipient relating to the Program shall continue and survive. </span></p>
 297

 301 Steward reserves the right to publish new versions (including revisions) of
 302 this Agreement from time to time. No one other than the Agreement Steward has
 303 the right to modify this Agreement. The Eclipse Foundation is the initial
 304 Agreement Steward. The Eclipse Foundation may assign the responsibility to
 305 serve as the Agreement Steward to a suitable separate entity. Each new version
 306 of the Agreement will be given a distinguishing version number. The Program
 307 (including Contributions) may always be distributed subject to the version of
 308 the Agreement under which it was received. In addition, after a new version of
 309 the Agreement is published, Contributor may elect to distribute the Program
 310 (including its Contributions) under the new version. Except as expressly stated
 311 in Sections 2(a) and 2(b) above, Recipient receives no rights or licenses to
 312 the intellectual property of any Contributor under this Agreement, whether
 313 expressly, by implication, estoppel or otherwise. All rights in the Program not
 314 expressly granted under this Agreement are reserved.</span> </p>

 316 <p><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>This Agreement is governed by the laws of the
 317 State of New York and the intellectual property laws of the United States of
 318 America. No party to this Agreement will bring a legal action under this
 319 Agreement more than one year after the cause of action arose. Each party waives
 320 its rights to a jury trial in any resulting litigation.</span> </p>
