<P><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt">THE ACCOMPANYING PROGRAM IS PROVIDED UNDER THE

<P><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt">"Contribution" means:</SPAN> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt">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:</SPAN></P>

changes to the Program, and</SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt">ii)
additions to the Program;</SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt">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. </SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt">"Contributor" means any person or entity that
distributes the Program.</SPAN> </P>
<P><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt">"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. </SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt">"Program" means the Contributions distributed
in accordance with this Agreement.</SPAN> </P>
<P><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt">"Recipient" means anyone who receives the
Program under this Agreement, including all Contributors.</SPAN> </P>
<P><B><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt">2. GRANT OF RIGHTS</SPAN></B> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt">a)
Subject to the terms of this Agreement, each Contributor hereby grants Recipient
a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free copyright license to<SPAN
style="COLOR: red"> </SPAN>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.</SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt">b)
Subject to the terms of this Agreement, each Contributor hereby grants Recipient
a non-exclusive, worldwide,<SPAN style="COLOR: green"> </SPAN>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. </SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt">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.</SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt">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. </SPAN></P>
<P><B><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt">3. REQUIREMENTS</SPAN></B> </P>
<P><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt">A Contributor may choose to distribute the
Program in object code form under its own license agreement, provided
that:</SPAN> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt">a)
it complies with the terms and conditions of this Agreement; and</SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt">b)
its license agreement:</SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt">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; </SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt">ii)
effectively excludes on behalf of all Contributors all liability for damages,
including direct, indirect, special, incidental and consequential damages, such
as lost profits; </SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt">iii)
states that any provisions which differ from this Agreement are offered by that
Contributor alone and not by any other party; and</SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt">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.<SPAN style="COLOR: blue">
</SPAN></SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt">When the Program is made available in source
code form:</SPAN> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt">a)
it must be made available under this Agreement; and </SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt">b) a
copy of this Agreement must be included with each copy of the Program.
</SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt">Contributors may not remove or alter any
copyright notices contained within the Program. </SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt">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.
</SPAN></P>
<P><B><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt">4. COMMERCIAL DISTRIBUTION</SPAN></B> </P>
<P><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt">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.</SPAN> </P>
<P><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt">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.</SPAN> </P>
<P><B><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt">5. NO WARRANTY</SPAN></B> </P>
<P><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt">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. </SPAN></P>
<P><B><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt">6. DISCLAIMER OF LIABILITY</SPAN></B> </P>
<P><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt">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.</SPAN> </P>
<P><B><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt">7. GENERAL</SPAN></B> </P>
<P><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt">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.</SPAN>
</P>
<P><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt">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. </SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt">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. </SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt">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. The Eclipse Foundation is the initial Agreement
Steward. The Eclipse Foundation 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.</SPAN> </P>
<P><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt">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.</SPAN> </P>
