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.

(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.

(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.

(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.
