4. SUPPLY CHAIN IMPACTED PARTIES:

This section identifies additional individuals or entities that a Licensee
could harm as a result of violating the Ethical Standards section, the
diligence the Licensee must exercise over its Supply Chain, and the rights that
those individuals or entities may enforce.

4.1. In addition to the above Ethical Standards, Licensee voluntarily accepts a
Duty of Care for Supply Chain Impacted Parties of this License, including
individuals and communities impacted by violations of the Ethical Standards.
Licensee shall exercise due diligence reasonably designed to ensure that no
individual or entity within its Supply Chain violates the Ethical Standards.
The Duty of Care is breached when a provision within the Ethical Standards
section is violated by Licensee or one of its successors or assigns, or when
Licensee fails to exercise such due diligence with respect to an individual or
entity that exists within the Supply Chain prior to a good or service reaching
the Licensee.

4.2. Licensee’s acceptance of the Duty of Care is intended to constitute a
voluntary undertaking towards Supply Chain Impacted Parties within the meaning
of applicable tort law, delict law, and/or similar bodies of law closely
related to tort and/or delict law. Any Supply Chain Impacted Party harmed by a
breach of the Duty of Care may pursue any remedy available under such
applicable law. Nothing in this section shall be interpreted to include acts
committed by individuals outside of the scope of their employment.

4.3. Third-Party Beneficiaries: Supply Chain Impacted Parties directly harmed
by a violation of the Ethical Standards or by a breach of the Duty of Care are
intended third-party beneficiaries of Sections 3 and 4 of this License and may
enforce those sections against Licensee to the extent permitted by applicable
law. This License creates no third-party rights other than those stated in
this Section 4.3.

5. NOTICE:

This section explains when a Licensee must notify others of the License.

5.1. Distribution of Notice: Licensee must ensure that everyone who receives a
copy of or uses any part of Software from Licensee, with or without changes,
also receives the License and the copyright notice and any patent, trademark,
and attribution notices included with Software. Licensee must ensure that
License is prominently displayed so that any individual or entity seeking to
download, copy, use, or otherwise receive any part of Software from Licensee is
notified of this License and its terms and conditions. Licensee must cause any
modified versions of the Software to carry prominent notices stating that
Licensee changed the Software.

5.2. Modified Software: Licensee is free to create modifications of the Software
and distribute only the modified portion created by Licensee, however, any
derivative work stemming from the Software or its code must be distributed
pursuant to this License, including this Notice provision.

5.3. Recipients as Licensees: Any individual or entity that uses, copies,
modifies, reproduces, distributes, or prepares derivative work based upon the
Software, all or part of the Software’s code, or a derivative work developed by
using the Software, including a portion of its code, is a Licensee as defined
above and is subject to the terms and conditions of this License. Each time
Licensee distributes the Software or derivative work, every recipient
automatically receives a license from the original Licensor under this License.

6. ACCEPTANCE:

This section explains how a Licensee accepts this License.

6.1. Licensee is not required to accept this License. However, nothing other
than this License grants Licensee permission to use, copy, modify, prepare
derivative work of, reproduce, or distribute the Software, and those actions
infringe the copyright and patent rights in the Software if Licensee does not
accept this License. Accordingly, by exercising any of the permissions granted
by this License, Licensee indicates acceptance of this License and agrees to be
bound by all of its terms and conditions.

7. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES:

7.1. Disclaimer of Warranty: TO THE FULL EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW, THIS SOFTWARE
COMES “AS IS,” WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AND LICENSOR SHALL NOT
BE LIABLE TO ANY PERSON OR ENTITY FOR ANY DAMAGES OR OTHER LIABILITY ARISING
FROM, OUT OF, OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE SOFTWARE OR THIS LICENSE, UNDER ANY
LEGAL CLAIM.

7.2. Limitation of Liability: TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE
LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL LICENSOR BE LIABLE TO LICENSEE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT,
INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING
WITHOUT LIMITATION LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, OR GOODWILL) ARISING OUT OF OR
RELATING TO THE SOFTWARE OR THIS LICENSE, UNDER ANY LEGAL THEORY, WHETHER IN
CONTRACT, TORT, DELICT, OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF LICENSOR HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

7.3. Release: Licensee releases Licensor from, and covenants not to sue
Licensor over, any and all claims, causes of action, demands, damages, losses,
expenses, and costs arising out of or relating to Licensee’s use of the
Software. This release is not, and shall not be interpreted as, an obligation
of Licensee to indemnify Licensor, nor of Licensor to indemnify Licensee.

7.4. Mandatory Liability: Nothing in this License excludes or limits any
liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law, including
liability for intentional misconduct and, where it cannot be excluded, gross
negligence.

8. TERMINATION:

8.1. Violations of Ethical Standards or Breaching Duty of Care: If Licensee
violates the Ethical Standards section or breaches its Duty of Care to Supply
Chain Impacted Parties, Licensee must remedy the violation or harm within 30
days of being notified of the violation or harm. If Licensee fails to remedy
the violation or harm within 30 days, or if the violation or harm is incapable
of remedy, all rights granted to Licensee by this License terminate
immediately.

8.2. Ineligible Parties: If Licensee is or becomes an Ineligible Party, all
rights granted to Licensee by this License terminate immediately. No rights are
granted by this License, at any time, to an individual or entity that was an
Ineligible Party at the time it first received the Software.

8.3. Failure of Notice: If any person or entity notifies Licensee in writing
that Licensee has not complied with the Notice section of this License, Licensee
can keep this License by taking all practical steps to comply within 30 days
after the notice of noncompliance. If Licensee does not do so, Licensee’s
License (and all rights licensed hereunder) will terminate immediately.

8.4. Judicial Findings: In the event Licensee is found by a civil, criminal,
administrative, or other court of competent jurisdiction, or some other
adjudicating body with legal authority, to have committed actions which are in
violation of the Ethical Standards or Supply Chain Impacted Party sections of
this License, all rights granted to Licensee by this License will terminate
immediately.

8.5. Patent Litigation: If Licensee institutes patent litigation against any
entity (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a suit) alleging that the
Software, all or part of the Software’s code, or a derivative work developed
using the Software, including a portion of its code, constitutes direct or
contributory patent infringement, then any patent license, along with all other
rights, granted to Licensee under this License will terminate as of the date
such litigation is filed.

8.6. Reinstatement: If Licensee fully remedies a violation or harm after
termination under Section 8.1 or Section 8.3, and it is the first violation or
harm of which Licensee has been notified, the License is reinstated
prospectively as of the date of the remedy, unless Licensor notifies Licensee
in writing that the termination is final.

8.7. Effect of Termination: Termination of this License is prospective only:
it does not render unlawful any exercise of the License permitted before the
date of termination, and it does not limit any right or remedy of Licensor or
of any Supply Chain Impacted Party accrued before termination. Termination in
no way prevents Licensor or a Supply Chain Impacted Party from seeking
appropriate remedies at law or in equity. Sections 1, 7, 8.7, and 9 survive
termination of this License.

9. MISCELLANEOUS:

9.1. Conditions: Sections 3, 4.1, 5.1, 5.2, 8.1, 8.2, 8.3, 8.4, and 8.5 are
conditions of the rights granted to Licensee in the License.

9.2. Equitable Relief: Licensor and, with respect to Sections 3 and 4, any
intended third-party beneficiary described in Section 4.3, shall be entitled to
seek equitable relief, including injunctive relief or specific performance of
the terms hereof, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at
law or in equity.

9.3. Copyleft: Modified software, source code, or other derivative work must be
licensed, in its entirety, under the exact same conditions as this License.

9.4. Contributions: Unless the contributor explicitly states otherwise in
writing, any work intentionally submitted to Licensor for inclusion in the
Software is submitted under the terms and conditions of this License, without
any additional terms or conditions, and the contributor grants Licensor and all
recipients of the Software the rights stated in Section 2 with respect to that
work.

9.5. Trademarks: This License does not grant permission to use the trade names,
trademarks, service marks, or product names of Licensor, except as required for
reasonable and customary use in describing the origin of the Software and
reproducing the notices described in Section 5.

9.6. Governing Law and Forum: This License, and any dispute arising out of or
relating to it or the Software, is governed by the law of the jurisdiction in
which Licensor habitually resides or, if Licensor is an entity, has its
principal place of business, excluding that jurisdiction’s conflict-of-law
rules and the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale
of Goods. The courts of that jurisdiction have exclusive jurisdiction over such
disputes, provided that Licensor may seek injunctive relief and enforce its
intellectual property rights in any jurisdiction in which the Software is used
or infringed. Nothing in this section limits mandatory rights of Supply Chain
Impacted Parties under the law otherwise applicable to them.

9.7. Severability: If any term or provision of this License is determined to be
invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, any
such determination of invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall not
affect any other term or provision of this License or invalidate or render
unenforceable such term or provision in any other jurisdiction. If the
determination of invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability by a court of
competent jurisdiction pertains to the terms or provisions contained in the
Ethical Standards section of this License, all rights granted to Licensee by
this License shall terminate, as between Licensor and Licensee, as of the date
of such determination.

9.8. Section Titles: Section titles are solely written for organizational
purposes and should not be used to interpret the language within each section.

9.9. Citations: Citations are solely written to provide context for the source
of the provisions in the Ethical Standards.

provided for the sole purpose of briefly describing the section and should not
be used to interpret the terms of the License.

9.11. Entire License: This License constitutes the entire agreement between
Licensor and Licensee with respect to the Software and supersedes all prior or
contemporaneous understandings regarding the Software. This License cannot be
modified or amended with respect to a Licensee except in a writing signed by
Licensor and that Licensee.

9.12. Successors and Assigns: This License shall be binding upon and inure to
the benefit of the Licensor’s and Licensee’s respective heirs, successors, and
assigns.
