| <P><FONT face="Courier New, Courier, mono">"Contribution" |
| means:</FONT></P> |
| <BLOCKQUOTE> |
| <P><FONT face="Courier New, Courier, mono">a) in the case of the initial |
| Contributor, the initial code and documentation distributed under this |
| Agreement, and </FONT></P> |

| Program;</FONT></P> |
| <P><FONT face="Courier New, Courier, mono">where such changes and/or |
| additions to the Program originate from and are distributed by that |
| particular Contributor. A Contribution 'originates' from a Contributor |
| if it was added to the Program by such Contributor itself or anyone |
| acting on such Contributor's behalf. Contributions do not include |
| additions to the Program which: (i) are separate modules of software |
| distributed in conjunction with the Program under their own license |
| agreement, and (ii) are not derivative works of the |
| Program.</FONT></P></BLOCKQUOTE> |
| <P><FONT face="Courier New, Courier, mono">"Contributor" means any person |

| <P><FONT face="Courier New, Courier, mono">"Licensed Patents " mean patent |
| claims licensable by a Contributor which are necessarily infringed by the |
| use or sale of its Contribution alone or when combined with the |
| Program.</FONT></P> |
| <P><FONT face="Courier New, Courier, mono">"Program" means the |
| Contributions distributed in accordance with this Agreement. </FONT></P> |

| RIGHTS</B></FONT></P> |
| <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> |
| <P><FONT face="Courier New, Courier, mono"><STRONG>6. DISCLAIMER OF |
| LIABILITY </STRONG></FONT></P> |
| <P><FONT face="Courier New, Courier, mono">EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH |
| IN THIS AGREEMENT, NEITHER RECIPIENT NOR ANY CONTRIBUTORS SHALL HAVE ANY |
| LIABILITY FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR |
| CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION LOST PROFITS), HOWEVER |
| CAUSED AND ON ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, STRICT |
| LIABILITY, OR TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE OR OTHERWISE) ARISING IN ANY WAY |
| OUT OF THE USE OR DISTRIBUTION OF THE PROGRAM OR THE EXERCISE OF ANY |
| RIGHTS GRANTED HEREUNDER, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH |
| 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 |
| Agreement shall terminate as of the date such litigation is filed. In |
| 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> |
| <P><FONT face="Courier New, Courier, mono">Everyone is permitted to copy |
| and distribute copies of this Agreement, but in order to avoid |
| inconsistency the Agreement is copyrighted and may only be modified in the |
| following manner. The Agreement Steward reserves the right to publish new |
| versions (including revisions) of this Agreement from time to time. No one |
| other than the Agreement Steward has the right to modify this Agreement. |
| IBM is the initial Agreement Steward. IBM may assign the responsibility to |
| serve as the Agreement Steward to a suitable separate entity. Each new |
| version of the Agreement will be given a distinguishing version number. |
| The Program (including Contributions) may always be distributed subject to |
| 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 |
| version. Except as expressly stated in Sections 2(a) and 2(b) above, |
| Recipient receives no rights or licenses to the intellectual property of |
| any Contributor under this Agreement, whether expressly, by implication, |
| estoppel or otherwise. All rights in the Program not expressly granted |
| under this Agreement are reserved. </FONT></P> |
| <P><FONT face="Courier New, Courier, mono">This Agreement is governed by |
| the laws of the State of New York and the intellectual property laws of |
| the United States of America. No party to this Agreement will bring a |
| legal action under this Agreement more than one year after the cause of |
| action arose. Each party waives its rights to a jury trial in any |
| resulting litigation.</FONT></P></TT></FONT></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE> |
