PERSONAL INJURY RESULTING FROM SGI's NEGLIGENCE TO THE EXTENT APPLICABLE LAW
PROHIBITS SUCH LIMITATION. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR

directly or indirectly, out of its utilization of rights under this License.

only the rights set forth in this License and are subject to the terms of this
License.
13. Miscellaneous. This License represents the complete agreement concerning the
its subject matter. If any provision of this License is held to be
unenforceable, such provision shall be reformed so as to achieve as nearly as
possible the same legal and economic effect as the original provision and the
remainder of this License will remain in effect. This License shall be governed
by and construed in accordance with the laws of the United States and the State
of California as applied to agreements entered into and to be performed entirely
within California between California residents. Any litigation relating to this

fees and expenses. The application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts
for the International Sale of Goods is expressly excluded. Any law or regulation
