+      the conditions stated in this License.
+
+   5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
+      any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
+      by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
+      this License, without any additional terms or conditions.

+      work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
+      other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
+      has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
+
+   9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing

+# AWS Distro for OpenTelemetry (ADOT) X-Ray UDP Exporter
+
+The AWS X-Ray UDP Exporter allows you to send OpenTelemetry Spans to the AWS X-Ray Daemon endpoint.
+Notably, this will work with the X-Ray Daemon that runs in an AWS Lambda Environment.
+
+## Installation
+
+Install this package into your NodeJS project with:
+
+```shell
+npm install --save @aws/aws-distro-opentelemetry-exporter-xray-udp
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+```js
+const { AwsXrayUdpSpanExporter } = require("@aws/aws-distro-opentelemetry-exporter-xray-udp")
+// ...
+
+const _traceExporter = new AwsXrayUdpSpanExporter();
+const _spanProcessor = new SimpleSpanProcessor(_traceExporter);
+
+const sdk = new opentelemetry.NodeSDK({
+    spanProcessor: _spanProcessor,
+    // ...
+});
+```
