Subject to the terms of this Agreement, each Contributor hereby grants

patent license under Licensed Patents to make, use, sell, offer to sell, import

121
of the Contribution and the Program if, at the time the Contribution is added
122
by the Contributor, such addition of the Contribution causes such combination
123
to be covered by the Licensed Patents. The patent license shall not apply to

Recipient understands that although each Contributor grants the licenses to its
129
Contributions set forth herein, no assurances are provided by any Contributor
130
that the Program does not infringe the patent or other intellectual property
131
rights of any other entity. Each Contributor disclaims any liability to Recipient
132
for claims brought by any other entity based on infringement of intellectual
133
property rights or otherwise. As a condition to exercising the rights and
134
licenses granted hereunder, each Recipient hereby assumes sole responsibility
135
to secure any other intellectual property rights needed, if any. For example,
136
if a third party patent license is required to allow Recipient to distribute

<p><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>4. COMMERCIAL DISTRIBUTION</span></b> </p>
194
195
<p><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>Commercial distributors of software may
196
accept certain responsibilities with respect to end users, business partners
197
and the like. While this license is intended to facilitate the commercial use
198
of the Program, the Contributor who includes the Program in a commercial
199
product offering should do so in a manner which does not create potential
200
liability for other Contributors. Therefore, if a Contributor includes the
201
Program in a commercial product offering, such Contributor (&quot;Commercial
202
Contributor&quot;) hereby agrees to defend and indemnify every other
203
Contributor (&quot;Indemnified Contributor&quot;) against any losses, damages and
204
costs (collectively &quot;Losses&quot;) arising from claims, lawsuits and other
205
legal actions brought by a third party against the Indemnified Contributor to
206
the extent caused by the acts or omissions of such Commercial Contributor in
207
connection with its distribution of the Program in a commercial product
208
offering. The obligations in this section do not apply to any claims or Losses
209
relating to any actual or alleged intellectual property infringement. In order
210
to qualify, an Indemnified Contributor must: a) promptly notify the Commercial
211
Contributor in writing of such claim, and b) allow the Commercial Contributor
212
to control, and cooperate with the Commercial Contributor in, the defense and
213
any related settlement negotiations. The Indemnified Contributor may participate
214
in any such claim at its own expense.</span> </p>
215
216
<p><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>For example, a Contributor might include the
217
Program in a commercial product offering, Product X. That Contributor is then a
218
Commercial Contributor. If that Commercial Contributor then makes performance
219
claims, or offers warranties related to Product X, those performance claims and
220
warranties are such Commercial Contributor's responsibility alone. Under this
221
section, the Commercial Contributor would have to defend claims against the
222
other Contributors related to those performance claims and warranties, and if a
223
court requires any other Contributor to pay any damages as a result, the
224
Commercial Contributor must pay those damages.</span> </p>
