IBM Agreement for Licensed Internal Code

You accept the terms of this Agreement by your initial use of a machine that
contains IBM Licensed Internal Code (called “Code”).

These terms apply to Code used by certain machines IBM or your reseller
specifies (called “Specific Machines”). International Business Machines
Corporation or one of its subsidiaries (“IBM”) owns copyrights in Code or has
the right to license Code. IBM or a third party owns all copies of Code,
including all copies made from them.

If you are the rightful possessor of a Specific Machine, IBM grants you a
license to use the Code (or any replacement IBM provides) on, or in
conjunction with, only the Specific Machine for which the Code is provided.
IBM licenses the Code to only one rightful possessor at a time.

Under each license, IBM authorizes you to do only the following:

1.

Execute the Code to enable the Specific Machine to function according to
its Official Published Specifications (called “Specifications”);

2.

Make a backup or archival copy of the Code (unless IBM makes one
available for your use), provided you reproduce the copyright notice and
any other legend of ownership on the copy. You may use the copy only to
replace the original, when necessary; and

3.

Execute and display the Code as necessary to maintain the Specific
Machine.

You agree to acquire any replacement for, or additional copy of, Code directly
from IBM in accordance with IBM’s standard policies and practices. You also
agree to use that Code under these terms.

You may transfer possession of the Code to another party only with the
transfer of the Specific Machine. If you do so, you must 1) destroy all your
copies of the Code that were not provided by IBM, 2) either give the other
party all your IBM-provided copies of the Code or destroy them, and 3) notify
the other party of these terms. IBM licenses the other party when it accepts
these terms. These terms apply to all Code you acquire from any source.

Your license terminates when you no longer rightfully possess the Specific
Machine.

Actions You May Not Take

You agree to use the Code only as authorized above. You may not do, for
example, any of the following:

1.

Otherwise copy, display, transfer, adapt, modify, or distribute the Code
(electronically or otherwise), except as IBM may authorize in the Specific
Machine’s Specifications or in writing to you;
