       // pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one
       // of the following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed
       // as part of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or
       // documentation, if provided along with the Derivative Works; or,
       // within a display generated by the Derivative Works, if and
       // wherever such third-party notices normally appear. The contents
       // of the NOTICE file are for informational purposes only and

   // defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
   // incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
   // of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.
