8. Add the following as a new section, entitled "Indemnification":
"If someone makes a claim against you that any program infringes their
intellectual property rights, Oracle will indemnify you if you do the
following:
. notify the General Counsel, Legal Department promptly in writing, not
later than 30 days after you receive notice of the claim, or sooner if
required by applicable law;
. give Oracle sole control of the defense and any settlement
negotiations; and
. give Oracle the reasonable information, authority, and assistance (at
Oracle's expense) Oracle needs to defend against or settle the claim.
If Oracle believes that any of the programs may have violated someone
else's intellectual property rights, Oracle may choose to either modify the
programs or obtain a license to allow for continued use, or if these
alternatives are not commercially reasonable, Oracle may end the license
for the applicable program and refund any license fees and any unused,
prepaid support fees you have paid for it. Oracle will not indemnify you if
you alter a program outside the scope of use provided in the documentation
or if you use a program version which has been superseded, if the
infringement claim could have been avoided by using an unaltered current
version of the program. Oracle will not indemnify you to the extend that an
infringement claim is based upon the combination of programs with any
products or services not provided by Oracle. This section provides your
exclusive remedy for any infringement claims or damages."
9. In the section entitled "Export Administration", delete the entire
paragraph and replace with the following:
"Both parties agree that U.S. export control laws and other applicable
export and import laws govern your use of the programs, including technical
data. Both parties agree that neither the programs, nor any direct product
thereof will be exported, directly or indirectly, in violation of these
laws, or used for any purpose prohibited by these laws, without limitation,
nuclear, chemical, or biological weapons proliferation or development of
missile technology."
10. In the section entitled "Privacy and Data Protection", delete the entire
paragraph and replace with the following:
"To the extend that either party shares any information with the other
party under this OPN agreement, you and Oracle agree to comply with all
relevant laws and regulations of the United States of America and other
countries related to privacy and data protection and each party agrees to
use any information provided to it by the other party under this OPN
agreement solely for the purposes of participation in the OPN and in
accordance with Oracle's Privacy Policy, which is located at
▇▇▇▇://▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇. You acknowledge that although you may opt out of
receiving information from Oracle related
to various programs and services, Oracle may from time to time provide to
you information regarding your membership and participation in the OPN."
11. Delete the first paragraph under the "General" section and replace it with
following:
"This agreement is governed by the substantive and procedural laws of the
State of Delaware."
12. Delete the first sentence of the second paragraph of the "General" section
and replace it with the following:
"Upon 45 days written notice and no more than once per year, Oracle (using
its own personel) may audit, at Oracle's expense, your use of the programs,
the materials, marketing materials, services, and any additional Oracle
resources."

remain unchanged and in full force and effect.
