     16  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj            from and are distributed by that particular Contributor.  
     17  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj            A Contribution 'originates' from a Contributor if it was added

     26  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj 
     27  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj "Licensed Patents " mean patent claims licensable by a Contributor which
     28  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj are necessarily infringed by the use or sale of its Contribution alone
     29  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj or when combined with the Program.

     38  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj including all Contributors.
     39  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj 
     40  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj 2.  GRANT OF RIGHTS
     41  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj 
     42  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj     a) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, each Contributor hereby
     43  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj     grants Recipient a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free copyright
     44  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj     license to reproduce, prepare derivative works of, publicly display,
     45  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj     publicly perform, distribute and sublicense the Contribution of such
     46  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj     Contributor, if any, and such derivative works, in source code and
     47  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj     object code form.
     48  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj 
     49  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj     b) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, each Contributor hereby
     50  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj     grants Recipient a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free patent
     51  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj     license under Licensed Patents to make, use, sell, offer to sell,
     52  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj     import and otherwise transfer the Contribution of such Contributor,
     53  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj     if any, in source code and object code form.  This patent license
     54  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj     shall apply to the combination of the Contribution and the Program
     55  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj     if, at the time the Contribution is added by the Contributor, such
     56  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj     addition of the Contribution causes such combination to be covered
     57  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj     by the Licensed Patents.  The patent license shall not apply to any
     58  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj     other combinations which include the Contribution.  No hardware per
     59  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj     se is licensed hereunder.
     60  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj 
     61  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj     c) Recipient understands that although each Contributor grants the
     62  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj     licenses to its Contributions set forth herein, no assurances are
     63  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj     provided by any Contributor that the Program does not infringe the
     64  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj     patent or other intellectual property rights of any other entity.
     65  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj     Each Contributor disclaims any liability to Recipient for claims
     66  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj     brought by any other entity based on infringement of intellectual
     67  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj     property rights or otherwise.  As a condition to exercising the rights
     68  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj     and licenses granted hereunder, each Recipient hereby assumes sole
     69  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj     responsibility to secure any other intellectual property rights
     70  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj     needed, if any.  For example, if a third party patent license
     71  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj     is required to allow Recipient to distribute the Program, it is
     72  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj     Recipient's responsibility to acquire that license before distributing
     73  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj     the Program.
     74  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj 
     75  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj     d) Each Contributor represents that to its knowledge it has sufficient
     76  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj     copyright rights in its Contribution, if any, to grant the copyright
     77  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj     license set forth in this Agreement.
     78  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj 
     79  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj 3.  REQUIREMENTS
     80  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj 
     81  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj A Contributor may choose to distribute the Program in object code form 
     82  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj under its own license agreement, provided that:
     83  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj     a) it complies with the terms and conditions of this Agreement; and
     84  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj     b) its license agreement:
     85  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj        i)   effectively disclaims on behalf of all Contributors all
     86  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj             warranties and conditions, express and implied, including
     87  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj             warranties or conditions of title and non-infringement, and
     88  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj             implied warranties or conditions of merchantability and fitness
     89  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj             for a particular purpose;
     90  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj        ii)  effectively excludes on behalf of all Contributors all 
     91  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj             liability for damages, including direct, indirect, special, 
     92  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj             incidental and consequential damages, such as lost profits; 
     93  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj        iii) states that any provisions which differ from this Agreement 
     94  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj             are offered by that Contributor alone and not by any other 
     95  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj             party; and
     96  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj        iv)  states that source code for the Program is available from 
     97  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj             such Contributor, and informs licensees how to obtain it in a 
     98  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj             reasonable manner on or through a medium customarily used for 
     99  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj             software exchange. 
    100  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj 
    101  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj When the Program is made available in source code form:
    102  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj     a) it must be made available under this Agreement; and 
    103  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj     b) a copy of this Agreement must be included with each copy of the 
    104  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj        Program.  
    105  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj 
    106  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj Each Contributor must include the following in a conspicuous location 
    107  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj in the Program: 
    108  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj 
    109  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj     Copyright (c) 1997,1998,1999, International Business Machines
    110  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj     Corporation and others. All Rights Reserved.
    111  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj 
    112  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj In addition, each Contributor must identify itself as the originator of
    113  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj its Contribution, if any, in a manner that reasonably allows subsequent
    114  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj Recipients to identify the originator of the Contribution. 
    115  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj 
    116  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj 4.  COMMERCIAL DISTRIBUTION
    117  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj 
    118  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj Commercial distributors of software may accept certain responsibilities
    119  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj with respect to end users, business partners and the like.  While this
    120  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj license is intended to facilitate the commercial use of the Program, the
    121  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj Contributor who includes the Program in a commercial product offering
    122  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj should do so in a manner which does not create potential liability for
    123  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj other Contributors.   Therefore, if a Contributor includes the Program in
    124  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj a commercial product offering, such Contributor ("Commercial Contributor")
    125  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj hereby agrees to defend and indemnify every other Contributor
    126  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj ("Indemnified Contributor") against any losses, damages and costs
    127  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj (collectively "Losses") arising from claims, lawsuits and other legal
    128  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj actions brought by a third party against the Indemnified Contributor to
    129  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj the extent caused by the acts or omissions of such Commercial Contributor
    130  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj in connection with its distribution of the Program in a commercial
    131  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj product offering.  The obligations in this section do not apply to any
    132  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj claims or Losses relating to any actual or alleged intellectual property
    133  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj infringement.  In order to qualify, an Indemnified Contributor must:
    134  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj     a) promptly notify the Commercial Contributor in writing of such claim,
    135  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj and 
    136  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj     b) allow the Commercial Contributor to control, and cooperate with
    137  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj        the Commercial Contributor in, the defense and any related 
    138  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj        settlement negotiations.  The Indemnified Contributor may 
    139  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj        participate in any such claim at its own expense.
    140  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj 
    141  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj For example, a Contributor might include the Program in a commercial
    142  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj product offering, Product X.  That Contributor is then a Commercial
    143  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj Contributor.  If that Commercial Contributor then makes performance
    144  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj claims, or offers warranties related to Product X, those performance
    145  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj claims and warranties are such Commercial Contributor's responsibility
    146  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj alone.  Under this section, the Commercial Contributor would have to
    147  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj defend claims against the other Contributors related to those performance
    148  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj claims and warranties, and if a court requires any other Contributor to
    149  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj pay any damages as a result, the Commercial Contributor must pay those
    150  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj damages.
    151  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj 
    152  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj 5.  NO WARRANTY
    153  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj 
    154  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, THE PROGRAM IS PROVIDED
    155  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj ON AN "AS IS" BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, EITHER
    156  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj EXPRESS OR IMPLIED INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY WARRANTIES OR
    157  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj CONDITIONS OF TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A
    158  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj PARTICULAR PURPOSE. Each Recipient is solely responsible for determining
    159  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj the appropriateness of using and distributing the Program and assumes
    160  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj all risks associated with its exercise of rights under this Agreement,
    161  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj including but not limited to the risks and costs of program errors,
    162  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj compliance with applicable laws, damage to or loss of data, programs or
    163  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj equipment, and unavailability or interruption of operations. 
    164  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj 
    165  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj 6.  DISCLAIMER OF LIABILITY
    166  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj 
    167  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, NEITHER RECIPIENT NOR
    168  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj ANY CONTRIBUTORS SHALL HAVE ANY LIABILITY FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT,
    169  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING
    170  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj WITHOUT LIMITATION LOST PROFITS), HOWEVER CAUSED AND ON ANY THEORY OF
    171  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj LIABILITY, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, STRICT LIABILITY, OR TORT (INCLUDING
    172  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj NEGLIGENCE OR OTHERWISE) ARISING IN ANY WAY OUT OF THE USE OR DISTRIBUTION
    173  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj OF THE PROGRAM OR THE EXERCISE OF ANY RIGHTS GRANTED HEREUNDER, EVEN IF
    174  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
    175  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj 
    176  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj 7.  GENERAL
    177  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj 
    178  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj If any provision of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable under
    179  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj applicable law, it shall not affect the validity or enforceability of
    180  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj the remainder of the terms of this Agreement, and without further action
    181  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj by the parties hereto, such provision shall be reformed to the minimum
    182  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj extent necessary to make such provision valid and enforceable.
    183  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj 
    184  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj If Recipient institutes patent litigation against a Contributor with
    185  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj respect to a patent applicable to software (including a cross-claim or
    186  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj counterclaim in a lawsuit), then any patent licenses granted by that
    187  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj Contributor to such Recipient under this Agreement shall terminate
    188  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj as of the date such litigation is filed.  In addition, If Recipient
    189  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj institutes patent litigation against any entity (including a cross-claim
    190  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the Program itself (excluding
    191  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj combinations of the Program with other software or hardware) infringes
    192  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj such Recipient's patent(s), then such Recipient's rights granted under
    193  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj Section 2(b) shall terminate as of the date such litigation is filed.
    194  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj 
    195  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj All Recipient's rights under this Agreement shall terminate if it fails
    196  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj to comply with any of the material terms or conditions of this Agreement
    197  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj and does not cure such failure in a reasonable period of time after
    198  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj becoming aware of such noncompliance.  If all Recipient's rights under
    199  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj this Agreement terminate, Recipient agrees to cease use and distribution
    200  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj of the Program as soon as reasonably practicable.  However, Recipient's
    201  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj obligations under this Agreement and any licenses granted by Recipient
    202  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj relating to the Program shall continue and survive. 
    203  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj 
    204  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj IBM may publish new versions (including revisions) of this Agreement
    205  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj from time to time.  Each new version of the Agreement will be given a
    206  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj distinguishing version number.  The Program (including Contributions)
    207  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj may always be distributed subject to the version of the Agreement under
    208  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj which it was received. In addition, after a new version of the Agreement
    209  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj is published, Contributor may elect to distribute the Program (including
    210  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj its Contributions) under the new version. No one other than IBM has the
    211  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj right to modify this Agreement.  Except as expressly stated in Sections
    212  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj 2(a) and 2(b) above, Recipient receives no rights or licenses to the
    213  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj intellectual property of any Contributor under this Agreement, whether
    214  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj expressly, by implication, estoppel or otherwise.  All rights in the
    215  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj Program not expressly granted under this Agreement are reserved.
    216  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj 
    217  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of New York and the
    218  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj intellectual property laws of the United States of America. No party to
    219  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj this Agreement will bring a legal action under this Agreement more than
    220  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj one year after the cause of action arose.  Each party waives its rights
    221  1.1.1.1.2.2  snj to a jury trial in any resulting litigation.
