<P><FONT size=2>THE ACCOMPANYING PROGRAM IS PROVIDED UNDER THE TERMS OF
THIS IBM 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 International Business Machines
Corporation ("IBM"), the Original Program, and </FONT></UL>
<UL><FONT size=2>b) in the case of each 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 IBM and any other 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>"Original Program" means the original version of the
software accompanying this Agreement as released by IBM, including source
code, object code and documentation, if any.</FONT>

<P><FONT size=2></FONT><FONT size=2>"Program" means the Original Program
and Contributions.</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 color=#ff0000> </FONT></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 color=#008000> </FONT></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 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) 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 color=#0000ff> </FONT><FONT
color=#ff0000></FONT></FONT></UL>
<UL><FONT size=2><FONT color=#ff0000></FONT></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 color=#0000ff></FONT></FONT>
<P><FONT size=2><FONT color=#0000ff></FONT></FONT><FONT size=2>Each
Contributor must include the following in a conspicuous location in the
Program: </FONT>
<P><FONT size=2></FONT>
<UL><FONT size=2>Copyright ©<FONT color=#ff0000> </FONT><FONT
color=green>{date here}</FONT></FONT><FONT size=2>, International
Business Machines Corporation and others. All Rights Reserved.
</FONT></UL>
<P><FONT size=2></FONT>
<P><FONT size=2>In addition, 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 color=#0000ff></FONT></FONT>
<P><FONT size=2><FONT color=#0000ff></FONT></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 (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><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>IBM may publish new versions
(including revisions) of this Agreement from time to time. 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. No one other than IBM has the right to modify this
Agreement</FONT><FONT size=2>. </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.</FONT><FONT size=2>
Each party waives its rights to a jury trial in any resulting litigation.
