            use, sell, offer to sell, import and otherwise transfer the Contribution 
            of such Contributor, if any, in source code and object code form. 
            This patent license shall apply to the combination of the Contribution

            such addition of the Contribution causes such combination to be covered

            that although each Contributor grants the licenses to its Contributions

            the Program does not infringe the patent or other intellectual property 
            rights of any other entity. Each Contributor disclaims any liability 
            to Recipient for claims brought by any other entity based on infringement 
            of intellectual property rights or otherwise. As a condition to exercising 
            the rights and licenses granted hereunder, each Recipient hereby assumes 
            sole responsibility to secure any other intellectual property rights 
            needed, if any. For example, if a third party patent license is required

          </font></P>
        <P><font face="Courier New, Courier, mono">Commercial distributors of 
          software may accept certain responsibilities with respect to end users, 
          business partners and the like. While this license is intended to facilitate 
          the commercial use of the Program, the Contributor who includes the 
          Program in a commercial product offering should do so in a manner which 
          does not create potential liability for other Contributors. Therefore, 
          if a Contributor includes the Program in a commercial product offering, 
          such Contributor ("Commercial Contributor") hereby agrees to defend 
          and indemnify every other Contributor ("Indemnified Contributor") against 
          any losses, damages and costs (collectively "Losses") arising from claims, 
          lawsuits and other legal actions brought by a third party against the 
          Indemnified Contributor to the extent caused by the acts or omissions 
          of such Commercial Contributor in connection with its distribution of 
          the Program in a commercial product offering. The obligations in this 
          section do not apply to any claims or Losses relating to any actual 
          or alleged intellectual property infringement. In order to qualify, 
          an Indemnified Contributor must: a) promptly notify the Commercial Contributor 
          in writing of such claim, and b) allow the Commercial Contributor to 
          control, and cooperate with the Commercial Contributor in, the defense 
          and any related settlement negotiations. The Indemnified Contributor 
          may participate in any such claim at its own expense. </font></P>
        <P><font face="Courier New, Courier, mono">For example, a Contributor 
          might include the Program in a commercial product offering, Product 
          X. That Contributor is then a Commercial Contributor. If that Commercial 
          Contributor then makes performance claims, or offers warranties related 
          to Product X, those performance claims and warranties are such Commercial 
          Contributor's responsibility alone. Under this section, the Commercial 
          Contributor would have to defend claims against the other Contributors 
          related to those performance claims and warranties, and if a court requires 
          any other Contributor to pay any damages as a result, the Commercial 
          Contributor must pay those damages. </font></P>

          other software or hardware) infringes such Recipient's patent(s), then

          failure in a reasonable period of time after becoming aware of such 
          noncompliance. If all Recipient's rights under this Agreement terminate, 
          Recipient agrees to cease use and distribution of the Program as soon 
          as reasonably practicable. However, Recipient's obligations under this 
          Agreement and any licenses granted by Recipient relating to the Program 
          shall continue and survive. </font></P>
