8.2. If You initiate litigation by asserting a patent infringement claim (excluding declatory 
judgment actions) against Initial Developer or a Contributor (the Initial Developer or Contributor 
against whom You file such action is referred to as "Participant") alleging that: 
a.  such Participant's Contributor Version directly or indirectly infringes any patent, then any and all 
rights granted by such Participant to You under Sections 2.1
 and/or 2.2 of this License shall, upon 
60 days notice from Participant terminate prospectively, unless if within 60 days after receipt of 
notice You either: (i) agree in writing to pay Participant a mutually agreeable reasonable royalty 
for Your past and future use of Modifications made by such Participant, or (ii) withdraw Your 
litigation claim with respect to the Contributor Version against such Participant. If within 60 days 
of notice, a reasonable royalty and payment arrangement are not mutually agreed upon in writing 
by the parties or the litigation claim is not withdrawn, the rights granted by Participant to You 
under Sections 2.1
 and/or 2.2 automatically terminate at the expiration of the 60 day notice period 
specified above. 
b.  any software, hardware, or device, other than such Participant's Contributor Version, directly or 
indirectly infringes any patent, then any rights granted to You by such Participant under Sections 
2.1(b
) and 2.2(b) are revoked effective as of the date You first made, used, sold, distributed, or had 
made, Modifications made by that Participant. 
8.3. If You assert a patent infringement claim against Participant alleging that such Participant's 
Contributor Version 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. 
8.4. In the event of termination under Sections 8.1
 or 8.2 above, all end user license agreements 
(excluding distributors and resellers) which have been validly granted by You or any distributor 
hereunder prior to termination shall survive termination. 
9. Limitation of liability 
Under no circumstances and under no legal theory, whether tort (including negligence), contract, 
or otherwise, shall you, the initial developer, any other contributor, or any distributor of covered 
code, or any supplier of any of such parties, be liable to any person for any indirect, special, 
incidental, or consequential damages of any character including, without limitation, damages for 
loss of goodwill, work spage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all other commercial 
damages or losses, even if such party shall have been informed of the possibility of such damages. 
This limitation of liability shall not apply to liability for death or personal injury resulting from 
such party's negligence to the extent applicable law prohibits such limitation. Some jurisdictions 
do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so this exclusion 
and limitation may not apply to you. 
10. U.S. government end users 
The Covered Code is a "commercial item," as that term is defined in 48 C.F.R. 2.101 (Oct. 1995), 
consisting of "commercial computer software" and "commercial computer software 
documentation," as such terms are used in 48 C.F.R. 12.212 (Sept. 1995). Consistent with 48
