105 additions to the Program;</span></p>

108 such changes and/or additions to the Program originate from and are distributed
109 by that particular Contributor. A Contribution 'originates' from a Contributor
110 if it was added to the Program by such Contributor itself or anyone acting on
111 such Contributor's behalf. Contributions do not include additions to the
112 Program which: (i) are separate modules of software distributed in conjunction
113 with the Program under their own license agreement, and (ii) are not derivative
114 works of the Program. </span></p>
116 <p><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>&quot;Contributor&quot; means any person or

131 <p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>a)
132 Subject to the terms of this Agreement, each Contributor hereby grants Recipient
133 a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free copyright license to<span
134 style='color:red'> </span>reproduce, prepare derivative works of, publicly
135 display, publicly perform, distribute and sublicense the Contribution of such
136 Contributor, if any, and such derivative works, in source code and object code
137 form.</span></p>
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>
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>
164 <p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>d)
165 Each Contributor represents that to its knowledge it has sufficient copyright
166 rights in its Contribution, if any, to grant the copyright license set forth in
167 this Agreement. </span></p>
169 <p><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>3. REQUIREMENTS</span></b> </p>
171 <p><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>A Contributor may choose to distribute the
172 Program in object code form under its own license agreement, provided that:</span>
173 </p>
175 <p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>a)
176 it complies with the terms and conditions of this Agreement; and</span></p>
178 <p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>b)
179 its license agreement:</span></p>
181 <p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>i)
182 effectively disclaims on behalf of all Contributors all warranties and
183 conditions, express and implied, including warranties or conditions of title
184 and non-infringement, and implied warranties or conditions of merchantability
185 and fitness for a particular purpose; </span></p>
187 <p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>ii)
188 effectively excludes on behalf of all Contributors all liability for damages,
189 including direct, indirect, special, incidental and consequential damages, such
190 as lost profits; </span></p>
192 <p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>iii)
193 states that any provisions which differ from this Agreement are offered by that
194 Contributor alone and not by any other party; and</span></p>
196 <p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>iv)
197 states that source code for the Program is available from such Contributor, and
198 informs licensees how to obtain it in a reasonable manner on or through a
199 medium customarily used for software exchange.<span style='color:blue'> </span></span></p>
201 <p><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>When the Program is made available in source
202 code form:</span> </p>
204 <p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>a)
205 it must be made available under this Agreement; and </span></p>
207 <p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>b) a
208 copy of this Agreement must be included with each copy of the Program. </span></p>
210 <p><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>Contributors may not remove or alter any
211 copyright notices contained within the Program. </span></p>
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>
217 <p><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>4. COMMERCIAL DISTRIBUTION</span></b> </p>
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>
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>
250 <p><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>5. NO WARRANTY</span></b> </p>
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
254 WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED INCLUDING,
255 WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT,
256 MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. Each Recipient is solely
257 responsible for determining the appropriateness of using and distributing the
258 Program and assumes all risks associated with its exercise of rights under this
259 Agreement , including but not limited to the risks and costs of program errors,
260 compliance with applicable laws, damage to or loss of data, programs or
261 equipment, and unavailability or interruption of operations. </span></p>
263 <p><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>6. DISCLAIMER OF LIABILITY</span></b> </p>
265 <p><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS
266 AGREEMENT, NEITHER RECIPIENT NOR ANY CONTRIBUTORS SHALL HAVE ANY LIABILITY FOR
267 ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES
268 (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION LOST PROFITS), HOWEVER CAUSED AND ON ANY THEORY
269 OF LIABILITY, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, STRICT LIABILITY, OR TORT (INCLUDING
270 NEGLIGENCE OR OTHERWISE) ARISING IN ANY WAY OUT OF THE USE OR DISTRIBUTION OF
271 THE PROGRAM OR THE EXERCISE OF ANY RIGHTS GRANTED HEREUNDER, EVEN IF ADVISED OF
272 THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.</span> </p>
274 <p><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>7. GENERAL</span></b> </p>
276 <p><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>If any provision of this Agreement is invalid
277 or unenforceable under applicable law, it shall not affect the validity or
278 enforceability of the remainder of the terms of this Agreement, and without
279 further action by the parties hereto, such provision shall be reformed to the
280 minimum extent necessary to make such provision valid and enforceable.</span> </p>
282 <p><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>If Recipient institutes patent litigation
283 against any entity (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit)
284 alleging that the Program itself (excluding combinations of the Program with
285 other software or hardware) infringes such Recipient's patent(s), then such
286 Recipient's rights granted under Section 2(b) shall terminate as of the date
287 such litigation is filed. </span></p>
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>
298 <p><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute
299 copies of this Agreement, but in order to avoid inconsistency the Agreement is
300 copyrighted and may only be modified in the following manner. The Agreement
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>
