51<UL><FONT size=2></FONT></UL>
52<UL><FONT size=2></FONT><FONT size=2>b) Subject to the terms of this
53 Agreement, each Contributor hereby grants </FONT><FONT size=2>Recipient a
54 non-exclusive, worldwide,</FONT><FONT color=#008000 size=2> </FONT><FONT
55 size=2>royalty-free patent license under Licensed Patents to make, use, sell,
56 offer to sell, import and otherwise transfer the Contribution of such
57 Contributor, if any, in source code and object code form. This patent license
58 shall apply to the combination of the Contribution and the Program if, at the
59 time the Contribution is added by the Contributor, such addition of the
60 Contribution causes such combination to be covered by the Licensed Patents.
61 The patent license shall not apply to any other combinations which include the
62 Contribution. No hardware per se is licensed hereunder. </FONT></UL>

64<UL><FONT size=2>c) Recipient understands that although each Contributor
65 grants the licenses to its Contributions set forth herein, no assurances are
66 provided by any Contributor that the Program does not infringe the patent or
67 other intellectual property rights of any other entity. Each Contributor
68 disclaims any liability to Recipient for claims brought by any other entity
69 based on infringement of intellectual property rights or otherwise. As a
70 condition to exercising the rights and licenses granted hereunder, each
71 Recipient hereby assumes sole responsibility to secure any other intellectual
72 property rights needed, if any. For example, if a third party patent license
73 is required to allow Recipient to distribute the Program, it is Recipient's
74 responsibility to acquire that license before distributing the
75Program.</FONT></UL>
76<UL><FONT size=2></FONT></UL>
77<UL><FONT size=2>d) Each Contributor represents that to its knowledge it has
78 sufficient copyright rights in its Contribution, if any, to grant the

112may not remove or alter any copyright notices contained within the Program.
113</FONT>
114<P><FONT size=2></FONT>
115<P><FONT size=2>Each Contributor must identify itself as the originator of its
116Contribution, if any, in a manner that reasonably allows subsequent Recipients
117to identify the originator of the Contribution. </FONT>
118<P><FONT size=2></FONT>
119<P><FONT size=2><B>4. COMMERCIAL DISTRIBUTION</B></FONT>
120<P><FONT size=2>Commercial distributors of software may accept certain
121responsibilities with respect to end users, business partners and the like.
122While this license is intended to facilitate the commercial use of the Program,
123the Contributor who includes the Program in a commercial product offering should
124do so in a manner which does not create potential liability for other
125Contributors. Therefore, if a Contributor includes the Program in a commercial
126product offering, such Contributor ("Commercial Contributor") hereby agrees to
127defend and indemnify every other Contributor ("Indemnified Contributor") against
128any losses, damages and costs (collectively "Losses") arising from claims,
129lawsuits and other legal actions brought by a third party against the
130Indemnified Contributor to the extent caused by the acts or omissions of such
131Commercial Contributor in connection with its distribution of the Program in a
132commercial product offering. The obligations in this section do not apply to any
133claims or Losses relating to any actual or alleged intellectual property
134infringement. In order to qualify, an Indemnified Contributor must: a) promptly
135notify the Commercial Contributor in writing of such claim, and b) allow the
136Commercial Contributor to control, and cooperate with the Commercial Contributor
137in, the defense and any related settlement negotiations. The Indemnified
138Contributor may participate in any such claim at its own expense.</FONT>
139<P><FONT size=2></FONT>
140<P><FONT size=2>For example, a Contributor might include the Program in a
141commercial product offering, Product X. That Contributor is then a Commercial
142Contributor. If that Commercial Contributor then makes performance claims, or
143offers warranties related to Product X, those performance claims and warranties
144are such Commercial Contributor's responsibility alone. Under this section, the
145Commercial Contributor would have to defend claims against the other
146Contributors related to those performance claims and warranties, and if a court
147requires any other Contributor to pay any damages as a result, the Commercial
148Contributor must pay those damages.</FONT>

150<P><FONT color=#0000ff size=2></FONT><FONT size=2><B>5. NO WARRANTY</B></FONT>
151<P><FONT size=2>EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, THE PROGRAM IS
152PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND,
153EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY WARRANTIES OR
154CONDITIONS OF TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A
155PARTICULAR PURPOSE. Each Recipient is</FONT><FONT size=2> solely responsible for
156determining the appropriateness of using and distributing </FONT><FONT
157size=2>the Program</FONT><FONT size=2> and assumes all risks associated with its
158exercise of rights under this Agreement</FONT><FONT size=2>, including but not
159limited to the risks and costs of program errors, compliance with applicable
160laws, damage to or loss of data, </FONT><FONT size=2>programs or equipment, and
161unavailability or interruption of operations</FONT><FONT size=2>. </FONT><FONT

165<P><FONT size=2></FONT><FONT size=2>EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS
166AGREEMENT, NEITHER RECIPIENT NOR ANY CONTRIBUTORS SHALL HAVE ANY LIABILITY FOR
167ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES
168</FONT><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=2>(INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION LOST
169PROFITS),</FONT><FONT size=2> HOWEVER CAUSED AND ON ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY,
170WHETHER IN CONTRACT, STRICT LIABILITY, OR TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE OR
171OTHERWISE) ARISING IN ANY WAY OUT OF THE USE OR DISTRIBUTION OF THE PROGRAM OR
172THE EXERCISE OF ANY RIGHTS GRANTED HEREUNDER, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY
173OF SUCH DAMAGES.</FONT>

176<P><FONT size=2></FONT><FONT size=2>If any provision of this Agreement is
177invalid or unenforceable under applicable law, it shall not affect the validity
178or enforceability of the remainder of the terms of this Agreement, and without
179further action by the parties hereto, such provision shall be reformed to the
180minimum extent necessary to make such provision valid and enforceable.</FONT>
181<P><FONT size=2></FONT>
182<P><FONT size=2>If Recipient institutes patent litigation against a Contributor
183with respect to a patent applicable to software (including a cross-claim or
184counterclaim in a lawsuit), then any patent licenses granted by that Contributor
185to such Recipient under this Agreement shall terminate as of the date such
186litigation is filed. In addition, if Recipient institutes patent litigation
187against any entity (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit)
188alleging that the Program itself (excluding combinations of the Program with
189other software or hardware) infringes such Recipient's patent(s), then such
190Recipient's rights granted under Section 2(b) shall terminate as of the date
191such litigation is filed. </FONT><FONT size=2></FONT>
192<P><FONT size=2></FONT>
193<P><FONT size=2>All Recipient's rights under this Agreement shall terminate if
194it fails to comply with any of the material terms or conditions of this
195Agreement and does not cure such failure in a reasonable period of time after
196becoming aware of such noncompliance. If all Recipient's rights under this
197Agreement terminate, Recipient agrees to cease use and distribution of the
198Program as soon as reasonably practicable. However, Recipient's obligations
199under this Agreement and any licenses granted by Recipient relating to the
200Program shall continue and survive. </FONT><FONT size=2></FONT>

209Steward. IBM may assign the responsibility to serve as the Agreement Steward to

211Agreement will be given a distinguishing version number. The Program (including
212Contributions) may always be distributed subject to the version of the Agreement
213under which it was received. In addition, after a new version of the Agreement
214is published, Contributor may elect to distribute the Program (including its
215Contributions) under the new </FONT><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=2>version.
