and your distributors comply with all restrictions of this EULA that are
applicable to you. If you use the Redistributables, or any portion thereof

your compliance with the applicable distribution requirements described for the
Licensed Software, the following also applies.
Your license rights to the Redistributables are conditioned upon your

would cause the Redistributables in whole or in part to become subject to any

(or derivative works thereof) in any manner that would cause the
Redistributables to become subject to any of the terms of an Excluded
License. An “Excluded License” is any

software subject to the Excluded License, that such software or other software
combined and/or distributed with such software be (x) disclosed or distributed

in connection with any claims that the Software and/or Related Documentation
infringes or violates any intellectual property right of any third party
(“Claim”), on the condition that end user notifies MyDICOM promptly of the
Claim and gives MyDICOM sole control of the defense and negotiations for its
settlement or compromise. If end user is, or may become, prohibited from
continued use of any Software by reason of an actual or anticipated Claim, MyDICOM
will use its reasonable efforts to (i) obtain for end user and/or its End-Users
the right to use the Software, or (ii) replace or modify such Software so that
