3.0 DISTRIBUTION OBLIGATIONS
3.1 Application of License.

The Source Code version of Original 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. Your license for shipment of the Contributor Version is
conditioned upon Your full compliance with this Section. The
Modifications which You create must comply with all requirements set
out by the Standards body in effect one hundred twenty (120) days
before You ship the Contributor Version. In the event that the
Modifications do not meet such requirements, You agree to publish
either (i) any deviation from the Standards protocol resulting from
implementation of Your Modifications and a reference implementation of
Your Modifications or (ii) Your Modifications in Source Code form, and
to make any such deviation and reference implementation or
Modifications available to all third parties under the same terms a
this license on a royalty free basis within thirty (30) days of Your
first customer shipment of Your Modifications. Additionally, in the
event that the Modifications you create do not meet the requirements
set out in this Section, You agree to comply with the Standards
requirements set out in Exhibit B.

3.2 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 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 Initial Code.

You may choose to offer, and to charge a fee for, warranty, support,
indemnity or liability obligations to one or more recipients of Your
version of the Code. However, You may do so only on Your own behalf,
and not on behalf of the Initial Developer. You must make it
absolutely clear than any such warranty, support, indemnity or
liability obligation is offered by You alone, and You hereby agree to
indemnify the Initial Developer for any liability incurred by the
Initial Developer as a result of warranty, support, indemnity or
liability terms You offer.

3.3 Distribution of Executable Versions. You may distribute Original
Code in Executable and Source form only if the requirements of
Sections 3.1 and 3.2 have been met for that Original Code, and if You
include a notice stating that the Source Code version of the Original
Code is available under the terms of this License. The notice must be
conspicuously included in any notice in an Executable or Source
versions, related documentation or collateral in which You describe
recipients rights relating to the Original Code. You may distribute
the Executable and Source versions of Your version of the 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. If You distribute the Executable and
Source versions 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. You hereby agree to indemnify the
Initial Developer for any liability incurred by the Initial Developer
as a result of any such terms You offer.

3.4 Larger Works. You may create a Larger Work by combining Original
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
Original Code.

4.0 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 Original 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 3.2 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.

attached the notice in Exhibit A and to related Modifications as set
