agreeable reasonable
royalty for Your past and future use of
Modifications made by such
Participant, or (ii) withdraw Your litigation claim

sold, distributed, or had made, Modifications
made by that
Participant.

against Participant
alleging that such Participant's Contributor
Version directly or
indirectly infringes any patent where such claim
is resolved (such as
by license or settlement) prior to the initiation of
patent
infringement litigation, then the reasonable
value of the licenses
granted by such Participant under Sections 2.1
or 2.2 shall be taken
into account in determining the amount or
value of any payment or
license.
8.4. In the event of termination under Sections
8.1 or 8.2 above,
all end user license agreements (excluding
distributors and resellers)
which have been validly granted by You or any
distributor hereunder
prior to termination shall survive termination.
