| |
| 2.4 Except as expressly stated in Sections 2.1 and 2.2, Recipient receives no |

| alter any proprietary notices contained in the Contributions licensed to Recipient |
| 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 |

| Marks. OSCI shall have the right to control any such litigation, and |
| Recipient shall fully cooperate with OSCI in any such litigation. OSCI shall |
| reimburse Recipient for the reasonable costs associated with providing |
| such assistance, except to the extent that such costs result from |
| Recipient’s breach of this Section 2.6. Recipient shall not commence any |
| action regarding the Marks without OSCI’s prior written consent. |
| |
| (c) All goodwill with respect to the Marks shall accrue for the sole |
| benefit of OSCI. Recipient shall maintain the quality of any products, |

| 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 |

| (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 |

| |
| Trademark Usage Policy |
| |
| 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. |
