+   or a Contribution incorporated within the Work constitutes direct
+   or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses
+   granted to You under this License for that Work shall terminate
+   as of the date such litigation is filed.
+   4. Redistribution. You may reproduce and distribute copies of the
+   Work or Derivative Works thereof in any medium, with or without
+   modifications, and in Source or Object form, provided that You
+   meet the following conditions:

+   excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of
+   the Derivative Works; and
+   (d) If the Work includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its
+   distribution, then any Derivative Works that You distribute must
+   include a readable copy of the attribution notices contained
+   within such NOTICE file, excluding those notices that do not
+   pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one
+   of the following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed
+   as part of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or
+   documentation, if provided along with the Derivative Works; or,
+   within a display generated by the Derivative Works, if and
+   wherever such third-party notices normally appear. The contents
+   of the NOTICE file are for informational purposes only and
+   do not modify the License. You may add Your own attribution
+   notices within Derivative Works that You distribute, alongside
+   or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the Work, provided
+   that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed
+   as modifying the License.
+   You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and
+   may provide additional or different license terms and conditions
+   for use, reproduction, or distribution of Your modifications, or

+   appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
+   risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.
+   8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
+   whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
+   unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
+   negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
+   liable to You 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
+   Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,

+    4. Redistribution. You may reproduce and distribute copies of the
+    Work or Derivative Works thereof in any medium, with or without
+    modifications, and in Source or Object form, provided that You
+    meet the following conditions:
+    (a) You must give any other recipients of the Work or
+    Derivative Works a copy of this License; and
+    (b) You must cause any modified files to carry prominent notices
+    stating that You changed the files; and
+    (c) You must retain, in the Source form of any Derivative Works
+    that You distribute, all copyright, patent, trademark, and
+    attribution notices from the Source form of the Work,
+    excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of
+    the Derivative Works; and
+    (d) If the Work includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its
+    distribution, then any Derivative Works that You distribute must
+    include a readable copy of the attribution notices contained
+    within such NOTICE file, excluding those notices that do not
+    pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one
+    of the following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed
+    as part of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or
+    documentation, if provided along with the Derivative Works; or,
+    within a display generated by the Derivative Works, if and
+    wherever such third-party notices normally appear. The contents
+    of the NOTICE file are for informational purposes only and
+    do not modify the License. You may add Your own attribution
+    notices within Derivative Works that You distribute, alongside
+    or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the Work, provided
+    that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed
+    as modifying the License.
+    You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and
+    may provide additional or different license terms and conditions
+    for use, reproduction, or distribution of Your modifications, or
+    for any such Derivative Works as a whole, provided Your use,
+    reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
+    the conditions stated in this License.
+    5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
+    any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
+    by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
+    this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
+    Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
+    the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
+    with Licensor regarding such Contributions.
+    6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
+    names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,
+    except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the
+    origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.
+    7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
+    agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
+    Contributor provides its Contributions) 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. You are solely responsible for determining the
+    appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
+    risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.
+    8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
+    whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
+    unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
+    negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
+    liable to You 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
+    Work (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.
+    9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
+    the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
+    and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
+    or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
+    License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
+    on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
+    of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
+    defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
+    incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
+    of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.
