<P><FONT size=3></FONT><FONT size=2>THE ACCOMPANYING PROGRAM IS PROVIDED UNDER
THE TERMS OF THIS COMMON PUBLIC LICENSE ("AGREEMENT"). ANY USE, REPRODUCTION OR
DISTRIBUTION OF THE PROGRAM CONSTITUTES RECIPIENT'S ACCEPTANCE OF THIS
AGREEMENT.</FONT>
<P><FONT size=2></FONT>
<P><FONT size=2><B>1. DEFINITIONS</B></FONT>
<P><FONT size=2>"Contribution" means:</FONT>
<UL><FONT size=2>a) in the case of the initial Contributor, the initial code
and documentation distributed under this Agreement, and<BR clear=left>b) in
the case of each subsequent Contributor:</FONT></UL>
<UL><FONT size=2>i) changes to the Program, and</FONT></UL>
<UL><FONT size=2>ii) additions to the Program;</FONT></UL>
<UL><FONT size=2>where such changes and/or additions to the Program originate
from and are distributed by that particular Contributor. </FONT><FONT size=2>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.
</FONT><FONT size=2>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></UL>
<P><FONT size=2></FONT>
<P><FONT size=2>"Contributor" means any person or entity that distributes the
Program.</FONT>
<P><FONT size=2></FONT><FONT size=2></FONT>
<P><FONT size=2>"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><FONT size=2></FONT><FONT size=2></FONT>
<P><FONT size=2></FONT><FONT size=2>"Program" means the Contributions
distributed in accordance with this Agreement.</FONT>
<P><FONT size=2></FONT>
<P><FONT size=2>"Recipient" means anyone who receives the Program under this
Agreement, including all Contributors.</FONT>
<P><FONT size=2><B></B></FONT>
<P><FONT size=2><B>2. GRANT OF RIGHTS</B></FONT>
<UL><FONT size=2></FONT><FONT size=2>a) </FONT><FONT size=2>Subject to the
terms of this Agreement, each Contributor hereby grants</FONT><FONT size=2>
Recipient a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free copyright license
to</FONT><FONT color=#ff0000 size=2> </FONT><FONT size=2>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></UL>
<UL><FONT size=2></FONT></UL>
<UL><FONT size=2></FONT><FONT size=2>b) Subject to the terms of this
Agreement, each Contributor hereby grants </FONT><FONT size=2>Recipient a
non-exclusive, worldwide,</FONT><FONT color=#008000 size=2> </FONT><FONT
size=2>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></UL>
<UL><FONT size=2></FONT></UL>
<UL><FONT size=2>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></UL>
<UL><FONT size=2></FONT></UL>
<UL><FONT size=2>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></UL>
<UL><FONT size=2></FONT></UL>
<P><FONT size=2><B>3. REQUIREMENTS</B></FONT>
<P><FONT size=2><B></B>A Contributor may choose to distribute the Program in
object code form under its own license agreement, provided that:</FONT>
<UL><FONT size=2>a) it complies with the terms and conditions of this
Agreement; and</FONT></UL>
<UL><FONT size=2>b) its license agreement:</FONT></UL>
<UL><FONT size=2>i) effectively disclaims</FONT><FONT size=2> 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></UL>
<UL><FONT size=2>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></UL>
<UL><FONT size=2>iii)</FONT><FONT size=2> states that any provisions which
differ from this Agreement are offered by that Contributor alone and not by
any other party; and</FONT></UL>
<UL><FONT size=2>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><FONT color=#0000ff size=2> </FONT><FONT color=#ff0000
size=2></FONT></UL>
<UL><FONT color=#ff0000 size=2></FONT><FONT size=2></FONT></UL>
<P><FONT size=2>When the Program is made available in source code form:</FONT>
<UL><FONT size=2>a) it must be made available under this Agreement; and
</FONT></UL>
<UL><FONT size=2>b) a copy of this Agreement must be included with each copy
of the Program. </FONT></UL>
<P><FONT size=2></FONT><FONT color=#0000ff size=2><STRIKE></STRIKE></FONT>
<P><FONT color=#0000ff size=2><STRIKE></STRIKE></FONT><FONT size=2>Contributors
may not remove or alter any copyright notices contained within the Program.
</FONT>
<P><FONT size=2></FONT>
<P><FONT size=2>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><FONT size=2></FONT>
<P><FONT size=2><B>4. COMMERCIAL DISTRIBUTION</B></FONT>
<P><FONT size=2>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><FONT size=2></FONT>
<P><FONT size=2>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><FONT size=2></FONT><FONT color=#0000ff size=2></FONT>
<P><FONT color=#0000ff size=2></FONT><FONT size=2><B>5. NO WARRANTY</B></FONT>
<P><FONT size=2>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</FONT><FONT size=2> solely responsible for
determining the appropriateness of using and distributing </FONT><FONT
size=2>the Program</FONT><FONT size=2> and assumes all risks associated with its
exercise of rights under this Agreement</FONT><FONT size=2>, including but not
limited to the risks and costs of program errors, compliance with applicable
laws, damage to or loss of data, </FONT><FONT size=2>programs or equipment, and
unavailability or interruption of operations</FONT><FONT size=2>. </FONT><FONT
size=2></FONT>
<P><FONT size=2></FONT>
<P><FONT size=2></FONT><FONT size=2><B>6. DISCLAIMER OF LIABILITY</B></FONT>
<P><FONT size=2></FONT><FONT size=2>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
</FONT><FONT size=2>(INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION LOST PROFITS),</FONT><FONT
size=2> 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><FONT size=2></FONT><FONT size=2></FONT>
<P><FONT size=2><B>7. GENERAL</B></FONT>
<P><FONT size=2></FONT><FONT size=2>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><FONT size=2></FONT>
<P><FONT size=2>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><FONT size=2></FONT>
<P><FONT size=2></FONT>
<P><FONT size=2>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><FONT size=2></FONT>
<P><FONT size=2></FONT>
<P><FONT size=2></FONT><FONT size=2>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 </FONT><FONT size=2>publish new versions
(including revisions) of this Agreement from time to </FONT><FONT size=2>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. </FONT><FONT size=2>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 </FONT><FONT size=2>version.
</FONT><FONT size=2>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, </FONT><FONT size=2>by
implication, estoppel or otherwise</FONT><FONT size=2>.</FONT><FONT size=2> All
rights in the Program not expressly granted under this Agreement are
reserved.</FONT>
<P><FONT size=2></FONT>
<P><FONT size=2>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>
