   (( 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.
