| Licensor and Contributor each have the right to grant the licenses | |
| above. | |
| Section III: CONDITIONS OF USAGE, DISTRIBUTION AND REDISTRIBUTION | |
| 4. Use-based restrictions. The restrictions set forth in Attachment A | |

| copies of the Artifact or its Derivatives in any medium, with or without | |
| modifications, provided that You meet the following conditions: | |
| 1. Use-based restrictions in paragraph 4 MUST be included as a | |

| Third Party recipients; | |
| 2. You shall give any Third Party recipients of the Artifact or its | |
| Derivatives a copy of this License; | |
| 3. You shall cause any modified files to carry prominent notices | |
| stating that You changed the files; | |

| for damages, including any direct, indirect, special, incidental, or | |
| consequential damages of any character arising as a result of this | |
| License or out of the use or inability to use the Artifact (including | |
| but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill, work stoppage, computer | |
| failure or malfunction, or any and all other commercial damages or | |
| losses), even if such Contributor has been advised of the possibility of | |
| such damages. | |
| 11. If any provision of this License is held to be invalid, illegal or | |
| unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall be unaffected thereby and | |
| remain valid as if such provision had not been set forth herein. | |

| this License if You are in breach of any term or condition of this | |
| Agreement. Upon termination of this Agreement, You shall delete and | |
