Original Software prohibiting it from being distributed or
otherwise made available under any subsequent version of the

Software available under the terms of any subsequent version of
the License published by the license steward.

NON-INFRINGING. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE

breach. Provisions which, by their nature, must remain in effect
beyond the termination of this License shall survive.

declaratory judgment actions) against Initial Developer or a
Contributor (the Initial Developer or Contributor against whom You
assert such claim is referred to as "Participant") alleging that
the Participant Software (meaning the Contributor Version where
the Participant is a Contributor or the Original Software where
the Participant is the Initial Developer) directly or indirectly
infringes any patent, then any and all rights granted directly or
indirectly to You by such Participant, the Initial Developer (if
the Initial Developer is not the Participant) and all Contributors
under Sections 2.1 and/or 2.2 of this License shall, upon 60 days
notice from Participant terminate prospectively and automatically
at the expiration of such 60 day notice period, unless if within
such 60 day period You withdraw Your claim with respect to the
Participant Software against such Participant either unilaterally
or pursuant to a written agreement with Participant.
6.3. If You assert a patent infringement claim against Participant
alleging that the Participant Software directly or indirectly
infringes any patent where such claim is resolved (such as by
license or settlement) prior to the initiation of patent
infringement litigation, then the reasonable value of the licenses
granted by such Participant under Sections 2.1 or 2.2 shall be
taken into account in determining the amount or value of any
payment or license.
6.4. In the event of termination under Sections 6.1 or 6.2 above,
all end user licenses that have been validly granted by You or any
distributor hereunder prior to termination (excluding licenses
granted to You by any distributor) shall survive termination.

APPLY TO LIABILITY FOR DEATH OR PERSONAL INJURY RESULTING FROM SUCH
PARTY"S NEGLIGENCE TO THE EXTENT APPLICABLE LAW PROHIBITS SUCH
