+2.7             License to Marks.
+(a)               OSCI shall retain all right, title and interest in and to the 
+Marks worldwide, subject to the limited license granted to Recipient in this 
+Section 2.7.  OSCI hereby grants Recipient a non-exclusive, royalty-free, 
+limited license to use the Marks solely in connection with its exercise of the 
+rights granted pursuant to this Agreement and to indicate that the products 
+being marketed by Recipient are compatible with, and meet the standards of, the

+sole benefit of OSCI.  Recipient shall maintain the quality of any products, 
+associated packaging, collateral and marketing materials on which it uses any of 
+the Marks in a manner consistent with all terms, conditions and requirements set 
+forth in this Section 2.7 and at a level that meets or exceeds Recipient?s 
+overall reputation for quality and that is at least commensurate with industry 
+standards.
+2.8             RECIPIENT UNDERSTANDS THAT ALTHOUGH EACH CONTRIBUTOR AND OSCI 
+GRANTS THE LICENSES SET FORTH HEREIN, NO ASSURANCES ARE PROVIDED BY ANY 
+CONTRIBUTOR OR OSCI THAT THE DOCUMENTATION OR CONTRIBUTION ALONE OR IN 
+COMBINATION WITH THE PROGRAM DOES NOT INFRINGE THE PATENT OR OTHER INTELLECTUAL 
+PROPERTY RIGHTS OF ANY OTHER ENTITY.  EACH CONTRIBUTOR AND OSCI DISCLAIM ANY 
+LIABILITY TO RECIPIENT FOR CLAIMS BROUGHT BY ANY OTHER ENTITY BASED ON 
+INFRINGEMENT OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS OR OTHERWISE.  In addition, as a 
+condition to exercising the rights and licenses granted hereunder, each 
+Recipient hereby assumes sole responsibility to secure any other intellectual 
+property rights needed, if any.  For example, if a third party patent license is 
+required to allow Recipient to Distribute the Program, it is Recipient's 
+responsibility to acquire that license before Distributing the Program.
+3.      DESCRIPTION AND DEPOSIT OF CONTRIBUTIONS
+3.1             To the extent Recipient wishes to become a Contributor by making 
+a Contribution, such Contributor shall:

+Copyright (c) 1996-{date here} by all Contributors.  All Rights reserved.  The 
+contents of this file are subject to the restrictions and limitations set forth 
+in the SystemC Open Source License Version 2.4 (the "License").  You may not use 
+this file except in compliance with such restrictions and limitations.  You may 
+obtain instructions on how to receive a copy of the License at 
+http://www.systemc.org/.  Software distributed by Contributors under the License 
+is distributed exclusively on an "AS IS" basis, WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, 
+either express or implied.  See the License for the specific language governing 
+rights and limitations under the License."; and
+(e)               cause such Contribution to include a text file titled "LEGAL" 
+which describes any intellectual property rights of which Contributor is aware 
+that it or any third party may hold in the functionality or code of such 
+Contribution.
+3.2             OSCI or the administrators of the http://www.systemc.org/ web 
+site shall have the right to authorize removal from such site any Contribution
+at any time.
+4.      REQUIREMENTS OF DISTRIBUTION
+4.1             A Recipient may choose to Distribute the Program in object code
+form under its own license agreement, provided that:
+(a)               Recipient complies with the terms and conditions of this
+Agreement; and
+(b)               the terms and conditions of Recipient's license agreement with
+its licensees:
+i.                    effectively disclaim on behalf of all Contributors all
+warranties and conditions, express and implied, including warranties or
+conditions of title and non-infringement, and implied warranties or conditions
+of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose;
+ii.                  effectively exclude on behalf of all Contributors all
+liability for damages, including, but not limited to, direct, indirect, special,
+incidental and consequential damages, such as lost profits;
+iii.                state that any provisions which differ from this Agreement
+are offered by that Recipient alone and not by any other party; and
+iv.                 state that source code for the Program is available from
+such Recipient, and inform licensees how to obtain it in a reasonable manner on
+or through a medium customarily used for software exchange.
+4.2             If a Recipient chooses to Distribute the Program in source code
+form then:
+(a)               the Program must be Distributed under this Agreement; and
+(b)               a copy of this Agreement must be included with each copy of
+the Program.
+4.3             Each Recipient must include the following in a conspicuous
+location in the Program so Distributed or transferred:
+
+Copyright (c) 1996-{date here}, by all Contributors.  All rights reserved.
+4.4             In addition, each Recipient that creates and Distributes or
+otherwise transfers a Modification whether or not such Modification has been
+deposited pursuant to Section 3 must identify the originator of such
+Modification in a manner that reasonably allows third parties to identify the
+originator of the Modification.
+4.5            A Recipient may choose to Distribute the Documentation under its
+own license agreement, provided that Recipient complies with the terms and
+conditions of this Agreement.  Each Recipient must include the following in a
+conspicuous location in the Document so Distributed or transferred:
+
+Copyright (c) 1996-{date here}, by Open SystemC Initiative.  All rights
+reserved.
+
+In addition, each Recipient that creates and Distributes or otherwise transfers
+a modification or derivative work of the Documentation, whether or not such
+modification or derivative work has been deposited pursuant to a Contribution
+Agreement must identify the originator of such modification or derivative work
+in a manner that reasonably allows third parties to identify the originator of
+the modification or derivative work.
+
+5.      INDEMNIFICATION
+A Recipient who Distributes the Program or Documentation (a "Distributor") may
+accept certain responsibilities with respect to end users, business partners and
+the like.  While this license is intended to facilitate the commercial use of
+the Program, a Distributor shall Distribute the Program or Documentation in a
+manner which does not create potential liability for Contributors.  Therefore
+each Distributor hereby agrees to defend and indemnify every Contributor
+("Indemnified Contributor") against any losses, damages and costs (collectively
+"Losses") arising from claims, lawsuits and other legal actions brought by a
+third party against the Indemnified Contributor to the extent caused by the acts
+or omissions of such Distributor, including but not limited to the terms and
+conditions under which Distributor offered the Program or Documentation, in
+connection with its Distribution of the Program or Documentation.  The
+obligations in this Section 5 do not apply to any claims or Losses relating to
+any actual or alleged intellectual property infringement of the Program or
+Documentation.  In order to qualify, an Indemnified Contributor must:  (a)
+promptly notify the Distributor in writing of such claim, and (b) allow the
+Distributor to control, and cooperate with the Distributor in, the defense and
+any related settlement negotiations.  The Indemnified Contributor may
+participate in the defense of any such claim at its own expense.
+
+For example, a Recipient might include the Program in a commercial product
+offering, Product X.  That Recipient is then a Distributor.  If that Distributor
+then makes performance claims, or offers warranties, support, or indemnity or
+any other license terms related to Product X, those performance claims, offers
+and other terms are such Distributor's responsibility alone.  Under this Section
+5, the Distributor would have to defend claims against the Contributors related
+to those performance claims, offers, and other terms, and if a court requires
+any Contributor to pay any damages as a result, the Distributor must pay those
+damages.
+
+6.      NO WARRANTY
+EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, THE PROGRAM AND DOCUMENTATION
+ARE PROVIDED EXCLUSIVELY ON AN "AS IS" BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS
+OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY
+WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS
+FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  EACH RECIPIENT IS SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR DETERMINING
+THE APPROPRIATENESS OF ITS USE AND DISTRIBUTION OF THE PROGRAM AND DOCUMENTATION
+AND ASSUMES ALL RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH ITS EXERCISE OF RIGHTS UNDER THIS
+AGREEMENT, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE RISKS AND COSTS OF PROGRAM ERRORS,
+COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE LAWS, DAMAGE TO OR LOSS OF DATA, PROGRAMS OR
+EQUIPMENT, AND UNAVAILABILITY OR INTERRUPTION OF OPERATIONS.  THIS DISCLAIMER OR
+WARRANTY CONSTITUTES AN ESSENTIAL PART OF THIS AGREEMENT.  NO USE OF THE
+PROGRAM, DOCUMENTATION OR ANY MODIFICATIONS THERETO ARE AUTHORIZED HEREUNDER
+EXCEPT UNDER THIS DISCLAIMER.
+
+7.      DISCLAIMER OF LIABILITY
+EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, NONE OF THE RECIPIENT, ANY
+CONTRIBUTORS OR OSCI SHALL HAVE ANY LIABILITY FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT,
+INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING
+WITHOUT LIMITATION LOST PROFITS), HOWEVER CAUSED AND ON ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY,
+WHETHER IN CONTRACT, STRICT LIABILITY, OR TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE OR
+OTHERWISE) ARISING IN ANY WAY OUT OF THE USE OR DISTRIBUTION OF THE PROGRAM,
+DOCUMENTATION OR THE EXERCISE OF ANY RIGHTS GRANTED HEREUNDER, EVEN IF ADVISED
+OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
+
+8.                  U.S. GOVERNMENT USE
+If Recipient is licensing the Program and Documentation on behalf of any unit or
+agency of the United States Government, then the Program and the Documentation
+is commercial computer software, and, pursuant to FAR 12.212 or DFARS 227.7202
+and their successors, as applicable, shall be licensed to the Government under
+the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
+
+9.                  PATENT CLAIMS
+If Recipient institutes patent litigation against any entity (including a
+cross-claim, counterclaim or declaratory judgment claim in a lawsuit) alleging
+that the Program itself (excluding combinations of the Program with other
+software or hardware) infringes such Recipient's patent(s), then the rights
+granted to Recipient by each Contributor under Section 2.2 shall terminate as of
+the date such litigation is filed.
+
+10.             TERMINATION
+All Recipient's rights under this Agreement shall terminate if Recipient 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 becoming aware
+of such noncompliance.  If such occurs, Recipient shall cease use and
+Distribution of the Program and Documentation based upon the rights granted to
+Recipient under this Agreement as soon as reasonably practicable.  However,
+Recipient's obligations under this Agreement and any licenses granted by
+Recipient relating to the Program and Documentation shall survive such
+termination.
+
+11.             LICENSE VERSIONS
+OSCI may publish new versions (including revisions) of this Agreement from time
+to time.  Each new version of the Agreement will be given a distinguishing
+version number.  The Program and Documentation may always be Distributed subject
+to the version of the Agreement under which it was received.  In addition, after
+a new version of the Agreement is published, Contributor may elect to Distribute
+the Program and Documentation under the new version.  No one other than OSCI,
+acting by a vote of at least 75% of the members of its Board of Directors, has
+the right to modify this Agreement; provided that Exhibit B and Exhibit C may be
+amended as specifically set forth in Section 3.1(b), and Exhibit D may be
+amended as specifically set forth in Section 1.10.
+
+12.             ELECTRONIC ACCEPTANCE
+This Agreement may be executed either electronically or on paper.  By clicking
+on the ?Accept? button, Recipient warrants that it agrees to all of the terms of
+this Agreement, that Recipient is authorized to enter into this Agreement, and
+that this Agreement is legally binding upon Recipient.  If Recipient does not
+agree to be bound by this Agreement, then Recipient shall click the ?Decline?
+button and Recipient shall not receive any rights from the Contributors nor
+shall Recipient download any materials, including the Program and the
+Documentation.
+
+13.             GENERAL
+This Agreement represents the complete agreement concerning the subject matter
+hereof and supersedes all prior agreements or representations, oral or written,
+regarding the subject matter hereof.  If any provision of this Agreement is
+invalid or unenforceable under applicable law, it shall not affect the validity
+or enforceability of the remainder 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. This
+Agreement shall be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall be
+deemed to be an original, but all of which shall be one and the same Agreement.
+A facsimile or other copy of the Agreement shall have the same force and effect
+as an originally executed copy thereof.
