| additions to the Program which: (i) are separate modules of software | |
| distributed in conjunction with the Program under their own license | |

| <BLOCKQUOTE> | |
| <P><FONT face="Courier New, Courier, mono">a) Subject to the terms of | |
| this Agreement, each Contributor hereby grants Recipient a | |
| non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free copyright license to reproduce, | |
| prepare derivative works of, publicly display, publicly perform, | |
| distribute and sublicense the Contribution of such Contributor, if any, | |
| and such derivative works, in source code and object code | |
| form.</FONT></P> | |
| <P><FONT face="Courier New, Courier, mono">b) Subject to the terms of | |
| this Agreement, each Contributor hereby grants Recipient a | |
| non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free patent license under Licensed | |
| Patents to make, use, sell, offer to sell, import and otherwise transfer | |
| the Contribution of such Contributor, if any, in source code and object | |
| code form. This patent license shall apply to the combination of the | |
| Contribution and the Program if, at the time the Contribution is added | |
| by the Contributor, such addition of the Contribution causes such | |
| combination to be covered by the Licensed Patents. The patent license | |
| shall not apply to any other combinations which include the | |
| Contribution. No hardware per se is licensed hereunder.</FONT></P> | |
| <P><FONT face="Courier New, Courier, mono">c) Recipient understands that | |
| although each Contributor grants the licenses to its Contributions set | |
| forth herein, no assurances are provided by any Contributor that the | |
| Program does not infringe the patent or other intellectual property | |
| rights of any other entity. Each Contributor disclaims any liability to | |
| Recipient for claims brought by any other entity based on infringement | |
| of intellectual property rights or otherwise. As a condition to | |
| exercising the rights and licenses granted hereunder, each Recipient | |
| hereby assumes sole responsibility to secure any other intellectual | |
| property rights needed, if any. For example, if a third party patent | |
| license is required to allow Recipient to distribute the Program, it is | |
| Recipient's responsibility to acquire that license before distributing | |
| the Program.</FONT></P> | |
| <P><FONT face="Courier New, Courier, mono">d) Each Contributor | |
| represents that to its knowledge it has sufficient copyright rights in | |
| its Contribution, if any, to grant the copyright license set forth in | |
| this Agreement.</FONT></P></BLOCKQUOTE> | |

| REQUIREMENTS</STRONG> </FONT></P> | |
| <P><FONT face="Courier New, Courier, mono">A Contributor may choose to | |
| distribute the Program in object code form under its own license | |
| agreement, provided that: </FONT></P> | |
| <BLOCKQUOTE> | |
| <P><FONT face="Courier New, Courier, mono">a) it complies with the terms | |
| and conditions of this Agreement; and</FONT></P> | |
| <P><FONT face="Courier New, Courier, mono">b) its license | |
| agreement:</FONT></P> | |
| <P><FONT face="Courier New, Courier, mono">i) effectively disclaims on | |
| behalf of all Contributors all warranties and conditions, express and | |
| implied, including warranties or conditions of title and | |
| non-infringement, and implied warranties or conditions of | |
| merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose; </FONT></P> | |
| <P><FONT face="Courier New, Courier, mono">ii) effectively excludes on | |
| behalf of all Contributors all liability for damages, including direct, | |
| indirect, special, incidental and consequential damages, such as lost | |
| profits; </FONT></P> | |
| <P><FONT face="Courier New, Courier, mono">iii) states that any | |
| provisions which differ from this Agreement are offered by that | |
| Contributor alone and not by any other party; and </FONT></P> | |
| <P><FONT face="Courier New, Courier, mono">iv) states that source code | |
| for the Program is available from such Contributor, and informs | |
| licensees how to obtain it in a reasonable manner on or through a medium | |
| customarily used for software exchange. </FONT></P></BLOCKQUOTE> | |
| <P><FONT face="Courier New, Courier, mono">When the Program is made | |
| available in source code form:</FONT></P> | |
| <BLOCKQUOTE> | |
| <P><FONT face="Courier New, Courier, mono">a) it must be made available | |
| under this Agreement; and</FONT></P> | |
| <P><FONT face="Courier New, Courier, mono">b) a copy of this Agreement | |
| must be included with each copy of the Program. </FONT></P></BLOCKQUOTE> | |
| <P><FONT face="Courier New, Courier, mono">Contributors may not remove or | |
| alter any copyright notices contained within the Program.</FONT></P> | |
| <P><FONT face="Courier New, Courier, mono">Each Contributor must identify | |
| itself as the originator of its Contribution, if any, in a manner that | |
| reasonably allows subsequent Recipients to identify the originator of the | |
| Contribution. </FONT></P> | |
| <P><FONT face="Courier New, Courier, mono"><STRONG>4. COMMERCIAL | |
| DISTRIBUTION</STRONG> </FONT></P> | |
| <P><FONT face="Courier New, Courier, mono">Commercial distributors of | |
| software may accept certain responsibilities with respect to end users, | |
| business partners and the like. While this license is intended to | |
| facilitate the commercial use of the Program, the Contributor who includes | |
| the Program in a commercial product offering should do so in a manner | |
| which does not create potential liability for other Contributors. | |
| Therefore, if a Contributor includes the Program in a commercial product | |
| offering, such Contributor ("Commercial Contributor") hereby agrees to | |
| defend and indemnify every other Contributor ("Indemnified Contributor") | |
| against any losses, damages and costs (collectively "Losses") arising from | |
| claims, lawsuits and other legal actions brought by a third party against | |
| the Indemnified Contributor to the extent caused by the acts or omissions | |
| of such Commercial Contributor in connection with its distribution of the | |
| Program in a commercial product offering. The obligations in this section | |
| do not apply to any claims or Losses relating to any actual or alleged | |
| intellectual property infringement. In order to qualify, an Indemnified | |
| Contributor must: a) promptly notify the Commercial Contributor in writing | |
| of such claim, and b) allow the Commercial Contributor to control, and | |
| cooperate with the Commercial Contributor in, the defense and any related | |
| settlement negotiations. The Indemnified Contributor may participate in | |
| any such claim at its own expense. </FONT></P> | |
| <P><FONT face="Courier New, Courier, mono">For example, a Contributor | |
| might include the Program in a commercial product offering, Product X. | |
| That Contributor is then a Commercial Contributor. If that Commercial | |
| Contributor then makes performance claims, or offers warranties related to | |
| Product X, those performance claims and warranties are such Commercial | |
| Contributor's responsibility alone. Under this section, the Commercial | |
| Contributor would have to defend claims against the other Contributors | |
| related to those performance claims and warranties, and if a court | |
| requires any other Contributor to pay any damages as a result, the | |
| Commercial Contributor must pay those damages. </FONT></P> | |
| <P><FONT face="Courier New, Courier, mono"><STRONG>5. NO | |
| WARRANTY</STRONG></FONT></P> | |
| <P><FONT face="Courier New, Courier, mono">EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH | |
| IN THIS AGREEMENT, THE PROGRAM IS PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" BASIS, WITHOUT | |
| WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED INCLUDING, | |
| WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF TITLE, | |
| NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. | |
| Each Recipient is solely responsible for determining the appropriateness | |
| of using and distributing the Program and assumes all risks associated | |
| with its exercise of rights under this Agreement, including but not | |
| limited to the risks and costs of program errors, compliance with | |
| applicable laws, damage to or loss of data, programs or equipment, and | |
| unavailability or interruption of operations. </FONT></P> | |

| CAUSED AND ON ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, STRICT | |
| LIABILITY, OR TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE OR OTHERWISE) ARISING IN ANY WAY | |

| DAMAGES. </FONT></P> | |

| GENERAL</STRONG></FONT></P> | |
| <P><FONT face="Courier New, Courier, mono">If any provision of this | |
| Agreement is invalid or unenforceable under applicable law, it shall not | |
| affect the validity or enforceability of the remainder of the terms of | |
| this Agreement, and without further action by the parties hereto, such | |
| provision shall be reformed to the minimum extent necessary to make such | |
| provision valid and enforceable. </FONT></P> | |
| <P><FONT face="Courier New, Courier, mono">If Recipient institutes patent | |
| litigation against a Contributor with respect to a patent applicable to | |
| software (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit), then any | |
| patent licenses granted by that Contributor to such Recipient under this | |

| addition, If Recipient institutes patent litigation against any entity | |
| (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the | |
| Program itself (excluding combinations of the Program with other software | |
| or hardware) infringes such Recipient's patent(s), then such Recipient's | |
| rights granted under Section 2(b) shall terminate as of the date such | |
| litigation is filed.</FONT></P> | |
| <P><FONT face="Courier New, Courier, mono">All Recipient's rights under | |
| this Agreement shall terminate if it fails to comply with any of the | |
| material terms or conditions of this Agreement and does not cure such | |
| failure in a reasonable period of time after becoming aware of such | |
| noncompliance. If all Recipient's rights under this Agreement terminate, | |
| Recipient agrees to cease use and distribution of the Program as soon as | |
| reasonably practicable. However, Recipient's obligations under this | |
| Agreement and any licenses granted by Recipient relating to the Program | |
| shall continue and survive. </FONT></P> | |

| the version of the Agreement under which it was received. In addition, | |
| after a new version of the Agreement is published, Contributor may elect | |
| to distribute the Program (including its Contributions) under the new | |
