     36such Contributor's behalf. Contributions do not include additions to the

     56<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">a) 
     57Subject to the terms of this Agreement, each Contributor hereby grants Recipient 
     58a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free copyright license to<span style="color: red;"> </span>reproduce, prepare derivative works of, publicly 
     59display, publicly perform, distribute and sublicense the Contribution of such

     63<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">b) 
     64Subject to the terms of this Agreement, each Contributor hereby grants 
     65Recipient a non-exclusive, worldwide,<span style="color: green;"> </span>royalty-free 
     66patent license under Licensed Patents to make, use, sell, offer to sell, import 
     67and otherwise transfer the Contribution of such Contributor, if any, in source 
     68code and object code form. This patent license shall apply to the combination 
     69of the Contribution and the Program if, at the time the Contribution is added 
     70by the Contributor, such addition of the Contribution causes such combination 
     71to be covered by the Licensed Patents. The patent license shall not apply to 
     72any other combinations which include the Contribution. No hardware per se is 
     73licensed hereunder. </span></p> 
     74 
     75<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">c) 
     76Recipient understands that although each Contributor grants the licenses to its 
     77Contributions set forth herein, no assurances are provided by any Contributor 
     78that the Program does not infringe the patent or other intellectual property 
     79rights of any other entity. Each Contributor disclaims any liability to Recipient 
     80for claims brought by any other entity based on infringement of intellectual 
     81property rights or otherwise. As a condition to exercising the rights and 
     82licenses granted hereunder, each Recipient hereby assumes sole responsibility 
     83to secure any other intellectual property rights needed, if any. For example, 
     84if a third party patent license is required to allow Recipient to distribute 
     85the Program, it is Recipient's responsibility to acquire that license before 
     86distributing the Program.</span></p>

     108conditions, express and implied, including warranties or conditions of title 
     109and non-infringement, and implied warranties or conditions of merchantability

     122states that source code for the Program is available from such Contributor, and 
     123informs licensees how to obtain it in a reasonable manner on or through a 
     124medium customarily used for software exchange.<span style="color: blue;"> </span></span></p>

     139originator of its Contribution, if any, in a manner that reasonably allows 
     140subsequent Recipients to identify the originator of the Contribution. </span></p> 
     141 
     142<p><b><span style="font-size: 10pt;">4. COMMERCIAL DISTRIBUTION</span></b> </p> 
     143 
     144<p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Commercial distributors of software may 
     145accept certain responsibilities with respect to end users, business partners 
     146and the like. While this license is intended to facilitate the commercial use 
     147of the Program, the Contributor who includes the Program in a commercial 
     148product offering should do so in a manner which does not create potential 
     149liability for other Contributors. Therefore, if a Contributor includes the 
     150Program in a commercial product offering, such Contributor ("Commercial 
     151Contributor") hereby agrees to defend and indemnify every other 
     152Contributor ("Indemnified Contributor") against any losses, damages and 
     153costs (collectively "Losses") arising from claims, lawsuits and other 
     154legal actions brought by a third party against the Indemnified Contributor to 
     155the extent caused by the acts or omissions of such Commercial Contributor in 
     156connection with its distribution of the Program in a commercial product 
     157offering. The obligations in this section do not apply to any claims or Losses 
     158relating to any actual or alleged intellectual property infringement. In order 
     159to qualify, an Indemnified Contributor must: a) promptly notify the Commercial 
     160Contributor in writing of such claim, and b) allow the Commercial Contributor 
     161to control, and cooperate with the Commercial Contributor in, the defense and 
     162any related settlement negotiations. The Indemnified Contributor may participate 
     163in any such claim at its own expense.</span> </p> 
     164 
     165<p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">For example, a Contributor might include the 
     166Program in a commercial product offering, Product X. That Contributor is then a 
     167Commercial Contributor. If that Commercial Contributor then makes performance 
     168claims, or offers warranties related to Product X, those performance claims and 
     169warranties are such Commercial Contributor's responsibility alone. Under this 
     170section, the Commercial Contributor would have to defend claims against the 
     171other Contributors related to those performance claims and warranties, and if a 
     172court requires any other Contributor to pay any damages as a result, the 
     173Commercial Contributor must pay those damages.</span> </p> 
     174 
     175<p><b><span style="font-size: 10pt;">5. NO WARRANTY</span></b> </p> 
     176 
     177<p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS 
     178AGREEMENT, THE PROGRAM IS PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" BASIS, WITHOUT 
     179WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED INCLUDING, 
     180WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, 
     181MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. Each Recipient is solely 
     182responsible for determining the appropriateness of using and distributing the 
     183Program and assumes all risks associated with its exercise of rights under this 
     184Agreement , including but not limited to the risks and costs of program errors, 
     185compliance with applicable laws, damage to or loss of data, programs or 
     186equipment, and unavailability or interruption of operations. </span></p>

     190<p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS

     193(INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION LOST PROFITS), HOWEVER CAUSED AND ON ANY THEORY 
     194OF LIABILITY, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, STRICT LIABILITY, OR TORT (INCLUDING 
     195NEGLIGENCE OR OTHERWISE) ARISING IN ANY WAY OUT OF THE USE OR DISTRIBUTION OF

     202or unenforceable under applicable law, it shall not affect the validity or 
     203enforceability of the remainder of the terms of this Agreement, and without 
     204further action by the parties hereto, such provision shall be reformed to the 
     205minimum extent necessary to make such provision valid and enforceable.</span> </p>

     208against any entity (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) 
     209alleging that the Program itself (excluding combinations of the Program with 
     210other software or hardware) infringes such Recipient's patent(s), then such 
     211Recipient's rights granted under Section 2(b) shall terminate as of the date

     217period of time after becoming aware of such noncompliance. If all Recipient's 
     218rights under this Agreement terminate, Recipient agrees to cease use and 
     219distribution of the Program as soon as reasonably practicable. However, 
     220Recipient's obligations under this Agreement and any licenses granted by 
     221Recipient relating to the Program shall continue and survive. </span></p>

     226Steward reserves the right to publish new versions (including revisions) of 
     227this Agreement from time to time. No one other than the Agreement Steward has 
     228the right to modify this Agreement. The Eclipse Foundation is the initial 
     229Agreement Steward. The Eclipse Foundation may assign the responsibility to 
     230serve as the Agreement Steward to a suitable separate entity. Each new version 
     231of the Agreement will be given a distinguishing version number. The Program 
     232(including Contributions) may always be distributed subject to the version of 
     233the Agreement under which it was received. In addition, after a new version of 
     234the Agreement is published, Contributor may elect to distribute the Program 
     235(including its Contributions) under the new version. Except as expressly stated 
     236in Sections 2(a) and 2(b) above, Recipient receives no rights or licenses to
