          o (a) under intellectual property rights (other than patent or
            trademark) Licensable by Initial Developer to use,

            sell, and offer for sale, and/or otherwise dispose of the
            Original Code (or portions thereof).
          o (c) the licenses granted in this Section 2.1(a) and (b) are

            sale, have made, and/or otherwise dispose of: 1)
            Modifications made by that Contributor (or portions
            thereof); and 2) the combination of Modifications made by

            or other devices; or 4) under Patent Claims infringed by
            Covered Code in the absence of Modifications made by that
            Contributor.

*3. Distribution Obligations.*

    * 3.1 Application of License. The Modifications which You create or
      to which You contribute are governed by the terms of this License,
      including without limitation Section 2.2. The Source Code version
      of Covered Code may be distributed only under the terms of this
      License or a future version of this License released under Section
      6.1, and You must include a copy of this License with every copy
      of the Source Code You distribute. You may not offer or impose any
      terms on any Source Code version that alters or restricts the
      applicable version of this License or the recipients' rights
      hereunder. However, You may include an additional document
      offering the additional rights described in Section 3.5.
    * 3.2 Availability of Source Code. Any Modification which You create
      or to which You contribute must be made available in Source Code
      form under the terms of this License either on the same media as
      an Executable version or via an accepted Electronic Distribution
      Mechanism to anyone to whom you made an Executable version
      available; and if made available via Electronic Distribution
      Mechanism, must remain available for at least twelve (12) months
      after the date it initially became available, or at least six (6)
      months after a subsequent version of that particular Modification
      has been made available to such recipients. You are responsible
      for ensuring that the Source Code version remains available even
      if the Electronic Distribution Mechanism is maintained by a third
      party.
    * 3.3 Description of Modifications. You must cause all Covered Code
      to which You contribute to contain a file documenting the changes
      You made to create that Covered Code and the date of any change.
      You must include a prominent statement that the Modification is
      derived, directly or indirectly, from Original Code provided by
      the Initial Developer and including the name of the Initial
      Developer in (a) the Source Code, and (b) in any notice in an
      Executable version or related documentation in which You describe
      the origin or ownership of the Covered Code.
    * 3.4 Intellectual Property Matters.
          o (a) Third Party Claims. If Contributor has actual knowledge
            that a license under a third party's intellectual property
            rights is required to exercise the rights granted by such
            Contributor under Sections 2.1 or 2.2, Contributor must
            include a text file with the Source Code distribution titled
            "LEGAL" which describes the claim and the party making the
            claim in sufficient detail that a recipient will know whom
            to contact. If Contributor obtains such knowledge after the
            Modification is made available as described in Section 3.2,
            Contributor shall promptly modify the LEGAL file in all
            copies Contributor makes available thereafter.
          o (b) Contributor API's. If Contributor's Modifications
            include an application programming interface and Contributor
            has actual knowledge of patent licenses which are reasonably
            necessary to implement that API, Contributor must also
            include this information in the LEGAL file.
          o (c) Representations. Contributor represents that, except as
            disclosed pursuant to Section 3.4(a) above, Contributor
            believes that Contributor's Modifications are Contributor's
            original creation(s) and/or Contributor has sufficient
            rights to grant the rights conveyed by this License.
    * 3.5 Required Notices. You must duplicate the notice in *Exhibit A*
      in each file of the Source Code. If it is not possible to put such
      notice in a particular Source Code file due to its structure, then
      You must include such notice in a location (such as a relevant
      directory) where a user would be most likely to look for such a
      notice. If You created one or more Modification(s) You may add
      your name as a Contributor to the notice described in *Exhibit A.
      *You must also duplicate this License in any documentation for the
      Source Code where You describe recipients' rights or ownership
      rights relating to Covered Code. You may choose to offer, and to
      charge a fee for, warranty, support, indemnity or liability
      obligations to one or more recipients of Covered Code. However,
      You may do so only on Your own behalf, and not on behalf of the
      Initial Developer or any Contributor. You must make it absolutely
      clear that any such warranty, support, indemnity or liability
      obligation is offered by You alone, and You hereby agree to
      indemnify the Initial Developer and every Contributor for any
      liability (excluding any liability arising from intellectual
      property claims relating to the Covered Code) incurred by the
      Initial Developer or such Contributor as a result of warranty,
      support, indemnity or liability terms You offer.
    * 3.6 Distribution of Executable Versions. You may distribute
      Covered Code in Executable form only if the requirements of
      Section* 3.1-3.5 *have been met for that Covered Code, and if You
      include a notice stating that the Source Code version of the
      Covered Code is available under the terms of this License,
      including a description of how and where You have fulfilled the
      obligation of Section *3.2.* The notice must be conspicuously
      included in any notice in an Executable version, related
      documentation or collateral in which You describe recipients'
      rights relating to the Covered Code. You may distribute the
      Executable version of Covered Code or ownership rights under a
      license of Your choice, which may contain terms different from
      this License, provided that You are in compliance with the terms
      of this License and that the license for the Executable version
      does not attempt to limit or alter the recipient's rights in the
      Source Code version from the rights set forth in this License. If
      You distribute the Executable version under a different license
      You must make it absolutely clear that any terms which differ from
      this License are offered by You alone, not by the Initial
      Developer or any Contributor. You hereby agree to indemnify the
      Initial Developer and every Contributor for any liability
      (excluding any liability arising from intellectual property claims
      relating to the Covered Code) incurred by the Initial Developer or
      such Contributor as a result of any such terms You offer.
    * 3.7 Larger Works. You may create a Larger Work by combining
      Covered Code with other code not governed by the terms of this
      License and distribute the Larger Work as a single product. In
      such a case, You must make sure the requirements of this License
      are fulfilled for the Covered Code.

*4. Inability to Comply Due to Statute or Regulation.* If it is
impossible for You to comply with any of the terms of this License with
respect to some or all of the Covered Code due to statute, judicial
order, or regulation then You must: (a) comply with the terms of this
License to the maximum extent possible; and (b) describe the limitations
and the code they affect. Such description must be included in the LEGAL
file described in Section 3.4 and must be included with all
distributions of the Source Code. Except to the extent prohibited by
statute or regulation, such description must be sufficiently detailed
for a recipient of ordinary skill to be able to understand it.

*5. Application of this License.* This License applies to code to which
the Initial Developer has attached the notice in Exhibit A and to
related Covered Code.

*6. Versions of the License.*

    * 6.1 New Versions. The Storage Networking Industry Association (the
      "SNIA") may publish revised and/or new versions of the License
      from time to time. Each version will be given a distinguishing
      version number.
    * 6.2 Effect of New Versions. Once Covered Code has been published
      under a particular version of the License, You may always continue
      to use it under the terms of that version. You may also choose to
      use such Covered Code under the terms of any subsequent version of
      the License published by the SNIA. No one other than the SNIA has
      the right to modify the terms applicable to Covered Code created
      under this License.
    * 6.3 Derivative Works. If You create or use a modified version of
      this License (which you may only do in order to apply it to code
      which is not already Covered Code governed by this License), You
      must (a) rename Your license so that the phrases "Storage
      Networking Industry Association," "SNIA," or any confusingly
      similar phrase do not appear in your license (except to note that
      your license differs from this License) and (b) otherwise make it
      clear that Your version of the license contains terms which differ
      from the SNIA Public License. (Filling in the name of the Initial
      Developer, Original Code or Contributor in the notice described in
      Exhibit A shall not of themselves be deemed to be modifications of
      this License.)

*7. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY. COVERED CODE IS PROVIDED UNDER THIS LICENSE
ON AN "AS IS" BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR
IMPLIED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, WARRANTIES THAT THE COVERED CODE
IS FREE OF DEFECTS, MERCHANTABLE, FIT FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR
NON-INFRINGING. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE
COVERED CODE IS WITH YOU. SHOULD ANY COVERED CODE PROVE DEFECTIVE IN ANY
RESPECT, YOU (NOT THE INITIAL DEVELOPER OR ANY OTHER CONTRIBUTOR) ASSUME
THE COST OF ANY NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION. THIS
DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY CONSTITUTES AN ESSENTIAL PART OF THIS LICENSE. NO
USE OF ANY COVERED CODE IS AUTHORIZED HEREUNDER EXCEPT UNDER THIS
DISCLAIMER.*

*8. TERMINATION.*

    * *8.1 *This License and the rights granted hereunder will terminate
      automatically if You fail to comply with terms herein and fail to
      cure such breach within a reasonable time after becoming aware of
      the breach. All sublicenses to the Covered Code which are properly
      granted shall survive any termination of this License. Provisions
      which, by their nature, must remain in effect beyond the
      termination of this License shall survive.
    * *8.2* If You initiate litigation by asserting a patent
      infringement claim (excluding declaratory judgment actions)
      against Initial Developer or a Contributor (the Initial Developer
      or Contributor against whom You file such action is referred to as
      "Participant") alleging that:
          o *(a)* such Participant's Contributor Version directly or
            indirectly infringes any patent, then any and all rights
            granted by such Participant to You under Sections 2.1 and/or
            2.2 of this License shall, upon 60 days notice from
            Participant terminate prospectively, unless if within 60
            days after receipt of notice You either: (i) agree in
            writing to pay Participant a mutually agreeable reasonable
            royalty for Your past and future use of Modifications made
            by such Participant, or (ii) withdraw Your litigation claim
            with respect to the Contributor Version against such
            Participant. If within 60 days of notice, a reasonable
            royalty and payment arrangement are not mutually agreed upon
            in writing by the parties or the litigation claim is not
            withdrawn, the rights granted by Participant to You under
            Sections 2.1 and/or 2.2 automatically terminate at the
            expiration of the 60 day notice period specified above.
    * *8.3* If You assert a patent infringement claim against
      Participant alleging that such Participant's Contributor Version
      directly or indirectly infringes any patent where such claim is
      resolved (such as by license or settlement) prior to the
      initiation of patent infringement litigation, then the reasonable
      value of the licenses granted by such Participant under Sections
      2.1 or 2.2 shall be taken into account in determining the amount
      or value of any payment or license.

       

    * *8.4* In the event of termination under Sections 8.1 or 8.2 above,
      all end user license agreements (excluding distributors and
      resellers) which have been validly granted by You or any
      distributor hereunder prior to termination shall survive termination.

*9. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES AND UNDER NO LEGAL
THEORY, WHETHER TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), CONTRACT, OR OTHERWISE,
SHALL YOU, THE INITIAL DEVELOPER, ANY OTHER CONTRIBUTOR, OR ANY
DISTRIBUTOR OF COVERED CODE, OR ANY SUPPLIER OF ANY OF SUCH PARTIES, BE
LIABLE TO ANY PERSON FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY CHARACTER INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION,
DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF GOODWILL, WORK STOPPAGE, COMPUTER FAILURE OR
MALFUNCTION, OR ANY AND ALL OTHER COMMERCIAL DAMAGES OR LOSSES, EVEN IF
SUCH PARTY SHALL HAVE BEEN INFORMED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
THIS LIMITATION OF LIABILITY SHALL NOT APPLY TO LIABILITY FOR DEATH OR
PERSONAL INJURY RESULTING FROM SUCH PARTY'S NEGLIGENCE TO THE EXTENT
APPLICABLE LAW PROHIBITS SUCH LIMITATION. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT
ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL
DAMAGES, SO THIS EXCLUSION AND LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.*

*10. U.S. GOVERNMENT END USERS.* The Covered Code is a "commercial
item," as that term is defined in 48 C.F.R. 2.101 (Oct. 1995),
consisting of "commercial computer software" and "commercial computer
software documentation," as such terms are used in 48 C.F.R. 12.212
(Sept. 1995). Consistent with 48 C.F.R. 12.212 and 48 C.F.R. 227.7202-1
through 227.7202-4 (June 1995), all U.S. Government End Users acquire
Covered Code with only those rights set forth herein.

*11. MISCELLANEOUS *This License represents the complete agreement
concerning subject matter hereof. If any provision of this License is
held to be unenforceable, such provision shall be reformed only to the
extent necessary to make it enforceable. This License shall be governed
by California law provisions (except to the extent applicable law, if
any, provides otherwise), excluding its conflict-of-law provisions. The
application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the
International Sale of Goods is expressly excluded. Any law or regulation
which provides that the language of a contract shall be construed
against the drafter shall not apply to this License.

*12. RESPONSIBILITY FOR CLAIMS.* As between Initial Developer and the
Contributors, each party is responsible for claims and damages arising,
directly or indirectly, out of its utilization of rights under this
License and You agree to work with Initial Developer and Contributors to
distribute such responsibility on an equitable basis. Nothing herein is
intended or shall be deemed to constitute any admission of liability.

*13. MULTIPLE-LICENSED CODE.* Initial Developer may designate portions
of the Covered Code as "Multiple-Licensed". "Multiple-Licensed" means
that the Initial Developer permits you to utilize portions of the
Covered Code under Your choice of this License or the alternative
licenses, if any, specified by the Initial Developer in the file
described in Exhibit A.

*14. ACCEPTANCE.* This License is accepted by You if You retain, use, or
distribute the Covered Code for any purpose.
