4. Commercial distribution.
Commercial distributors of software may accept certain responsibilities
with respect to end users, business partners and the like. While this li-
cense 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 Contribu-
tor") hereby agrees to defend and indemnify every other Contributor
("Indemnified Contributor") against any losses, damages and costs (col-
lectively "Losses") arising from claims, lawsuits and other legal actions
brought by a third party against the Indemnified Contributor to the ex-
tent 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 Los-
ses 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 Com-
mercial Contributor to control, and cooperate with the Commercial Con-
tributor in, the defense and any related settlement negotiations. The
Indemnified Contributor may participate in any such claim at its own ex-
pense.
For example, a Contributor might include the Program in a commercial
product offering, Product X. That Contributor is then a Commercial Con-
tributor. 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 de-
fend 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 tho-
se damages
5. No warranty.

7. General.
If any provision of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable under ap-
plicable law, it shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remain-
der of the terms of this Agreement, and without further action by the
parties hereto, such provision shall be reformed to the minimum extent
necessary to make such provision valid and enforceable.
If Recipient institutes patent litigation against any entity (including a
cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the Program itself
(excluding combinations of the Program with other software or hardwa-
re) infringes such Recipient's patent(s), then such Recipient's rights
granted under Section 2(b) shall terminate as of the date such litigation
is filed.
All Recipient's rights under this Agreement shall terminate if it fails to
comply with any of the material terms or conditions of this Agreement
and does not cure such failure in a reasonable period of time after beco-
ming 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.

sibility to serve as the Agreement Steward to a suitable separate entity.

number. The Program (including Contributions) may always be distribu-
ted subject to the version of the Agreement under which it was received.
In addition, after a new version of the Agreement is published, Contribu-
tor may elect to distribute the Program (including its Contributions) un-
der the new version. Except as expressly stated in Sections 2(a) and
2(b) above, Recipient receives no rights or licenses to the intellectual
property of any Contributor under this Agreement, whether expressly,
by implication, estoppel or otherwise. All rights in the Program not ex-
pressly granted under this Agreement are reserved.
