+
+ 2.5 Recipient shall retain its entire right, title, and interest in and to
+ Contributions disclosed by Recipient hereunder, including all Copyrights/Trade
+ Secret Rights and patent rights embodied therein, subject to the underlying rights

+ hereunder and shall reproduce and include such notices on any copies of the
+ Contributions made by Recipient in any media.
+
+2.6 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 2.6. 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 SystemC modeling language. All uses of the Marks shall

+ any of the Marks in a manner consistent with all terms, conditions and
+ requirements set forth in this Section 2.6 and at a level that meets or
+ exceeds Recipient’s overall reputation for quality and that is at least
+ commensurate with industry standards.
+
+2.7 RECIPIENT UNDERSTANDS THAT ALTHOUGH EACH CONTRIBUTOR
+GRANTS THE LICENSES TO ITS CONTRIBUTIONS SET FORTH HEREIN, NO
+ASSURANCES ARE PROVIDED BY ANY CONTRIBUTOR THAT THE
+CONTRIBUTION ALONE OR IN COMBINATION WITH THE PROGRAM DOES
+NOT INFRINGE THE PATENT OR OTHER INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
+RIGHTS OF ANY OTHER ENTITY. EACH CONTRIBUTOR DISCLAIMS 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:
+
+ (a) (i) deposit such Contribution in Source Code form at
+ http://www.systemc.org/ according to the Contribution instructions found at
+ such site, or (ii) disclose such Contribution at a meeting of any working
+ group of OSCI;
+
+ (b) (i) describe such Contribution in reasonable detail on Exhibit B
+ (including the additions or changes such Contributor made to create the
+ Contribution and the date of any such changes or additions), (ii)
+ completing a Contribution Questionnaire with respect to such Contribution,
+ and (iii) delivering both documents to OSCI. All Contributions made after
+ the date hereof shall be effectuated by Contributor (x) amending Exhibit B
+ and delivering such amended Exhibit B to OSCI, which amended exhibit
+ shall automatically replace the existing Exhibit B, (y) competing a
+ Contribution Questionnaire with respect to such Contribution, and (z)
+ delivering both documents to OSCI;
+
+ (c) cause such Contribution to contain a file documenting such
+ Contributor's name and contact information, additions or changes such
+ Contributor made to create the Contribution, and the date of any such
+ changes or additions;
+
+ (d) cause such Contribution to include in each file a prominent
+ statement substantially similar to the following: "The following code is
+ derived, directly or indirectly, from the SystemC source code 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 2.3 (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.
+
+5. INDEMNIFICATION
+
+A Recipient who Distributes the Program (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 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, in connection with its Distribution of the Program.
+The obligations in this section do not apply to any claims or Losses relating to any
+actual or alleged intellectual property infringement of the Program. 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, 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 IS
+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 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 OR ANY MODIFICATIONS THERETO ARE AUTHORIZED HEREUNDER
+EXCEPT UNDER THIS DISCLAIMER.
+
+7. DISCLAIMER OF LIABILITY
+
+EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, NEITHER RECIPIENT NOR
+ANY CONTRIBUTORS SHALL HAVE ANY LIABILITY FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT,
+INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, 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 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 on behalf of any unit or agency of the United States
+Government, then the Program and any related 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 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 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 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 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.
+
+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 is governed by the laws of California, without reference to conflict of
+laws principles. Each party waives its rights to a jury trial in any resulting litigation. Any
+litigation relating to this Agreement shall be subject to the jurisdiction of the Federal
+Courts of the Northern District of California, with venue lying in Santa Clara County,
+California, or the Santa Clara County Superior Court. The application of the United
+Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is expressly
+excluded. The provisions of this Agreement shall be construed fairly in accordance with
+its terms and no rules of construction for or against either party shall be applied in the
+interpreting this Agreement. Recipient shall not use the Program in violation of local
+and other applicable laws including, but not limited to, the export control laws of the
+United States.

+
+I. LIST OF MARKS
+
+ 1. Open SystemC
+
+ 2. Open SystemC Initiative
+
+ 3. OSCI, SystemC
+
+ 4. SystemC Graphic Logo
+
+ 5. All logos that incorporate the foregoing word marks
+
+
+II. PROPER USE OF MARKS
+
+Trademarks and service marks function as adjectives and generally should not be used as
+nouns or verbs. Accordingly, as often as possible, the Marks should be used as adjectives
+immediately preceding the generic noun that refers to the service in question. For example:
+
+ The SystemC™ software
+ The SystemC™ LRM
+
+No Possessives or Plurals. Since they are not nouns, the Marks should never be used in the
+possessive or plural forms. For example, it is not appropriate to write “SystemC’s software.”
+
+No Use as Verbs or as Puns. The Marks should never be used as verbs or as puns.
+
+
+III. PROPER ATTRIBUTION
+
+Trademark ownership is attributed in two ways, with the use of a symbol (TM, SM, ®) after the mark
+and with a legal legend, usually found at the end of a document following the copyright notice.
+Following are OSCI’s rules for symbols and legends to attribute the Marks:
+
+Symbols:
+
+Which Symbol Do I Use?
+The Marks generally function as trademarks rather than servicemarks. Unless you are
+specifically directed otherwise, please use the ™ or ® symbol after the Marks.
+
+Where Do I Place the ® Symbol?
+The ™ or ® symbol is placed immediately after the mark, either in superscript or subscript.
+
+When Do I Use the Symbol?
+The ™ or ® symbol is to be used after the Marks in the following instances:
+
+Most Prominent Uses : A ™ or ® symbol is required after prominent uses of the Marks, e.g., in
+the headlines and large print text of web pages, advertisements, other promotional materials
+and press releases, except where space limitations or specific style considerations prevent
+compliance with this requirement.
+
+First Use in Text: A ™ or ® symbol is required after the first use of each Mark in text, e.g.
+advertising copy or the body of press releases, even though the symbol may have already
+appeared in the headline or after another prominent use of the mark in the same document.
+
+All Logos: The ™ or ® symbol must appear after all logos incorporating the Marks.
+
+
+IV. Legends
+
+All Marks that appear on a web page or in a press release, advertisement or other written
+material (whether in print or electronic form) must be attributed in an appropriate legend. The
+legend may be presented in “mouseprint” but must be large enough to be read easily. Legends
+generally appear at the end of a document or the bottom of a web page but may be placed
+elsewhere, e.g. the inside cover of documentation.
+
+The OSCI Legend: The following legend should be used in all materials in which any of the
+Marks appear:
+
+[Insert the Marks] are trademarks or registered trademarks of Open SystemC Initiative, Inc. in
+the United States and other countries and are used with permission.
+
+
+V. MARKS NEVER COMBINED
+
+The Marks should never be combined with the marks of any business other than OSCI. The
+Marks should always appear visually separate from any other marks appearing in the same
+materials such that each mark creates a distinct commercial impression. It would, for instance,
+not be appropriate to superimpose the logo of another business over any OSCI logo.
+
+
+VI. LOGOS
+
+Logos incorporating the Marks can only be used in the format provided to you by OSCI for
+incorporation into your materials or web pages. The logos provided to you by OSCI cannot be
+modified in any way without OSCI’s prior written approval. Logos copied from OSCI web pages
+or other materials may not to be used. Please contact webmaster@systemc.org to obtain
+electronic files containing the OSCI logos and to ask any questions regarding the logos.
