            This License Agreement (Agreement) is between you (the
            Customer) and SoftC, Ltd. (SoftC).  The Agreement pertains
            to the SoftC Database Library, including the object code
            libraries, sample programs, source code (if provided), and
            modifications and/or recompilations of the source code (the
            Product), and the documentation.
            In exchange for the non-exclusive right to use the Product,
            the Customer agrees to the following terms.
            OWNERSHIP AND LIMITED LICENSE: The Product is owned by SoftC
            and is protected by applicable copyright laws and
            international treaty provisions.  Licensed GTDA.  The
            Customer is granted a non-exclusive license to use the
            Product on a single computer system (i.e., with a single
            CPU) or network node at a time.
            COPYING AND USE: The Customer may make backup copies of the
            Product, but may install and use the Product (including
            modifications and/or recompilations of the software) on only
            one computer or network node at a time.  This means that the
            Product may be used by any number of people and may be
            freely moved from one computer location to another, so long
            as there is no possibility of it being used at one location
            while it is being used at another.
            PRODUCT CODE AND DERIVATIVE WORKS: In exchange for the
            benefit from having access to the Product the Customer
            agrees to protect the copyright and other proprietary rights
            of SoftC.  Such protection includes, but is not limited to,
            a) the Customer not disclosing the code (object and/or
            source) and the way it functions to any party not bound by
            this Agreement, b) the Customer not allowing any party not
            bound by this Agreement to copy or use the Product or
            documentation in violation of this Agreement and c) the
            Customer may not disclose, allow disclosure, transmit, or
            allow transmission, either directly or indirectly, of the
            source code to any third party without the prior written
            consent of SoftC.  The Customer may modify and/or re-compile
            the Product source code solely for the Customer's use.  Such
            modified and/or re-compiled versions, regardless of the
            extent of the modifications or the compiler versions,
            operating systems, or computer systems used, are part of the
            same Product under this Agreement and shall remain the
            property of SoftC subject to the same limitations upon
            transfer or use as the original Product.  The Customer may
            reproduce and distribute application programs created using
            the Product without additional licenses or fees.  Any
            modification of the Product source code resulting in an
            application or derivative work intended for distribution
            requires prior written permission from SoftC and may require
            additional terms and fees.
            TRANSFER: The Customer may transfer this Agreement and
            Product along with all originals, any copies, and the
            documentation to another party provided that such party
            agrees in writing to be legally bound by these terms.  The
            Customer's rights shall terminate upon transfer and the












            Customer agrees to discontinue immediately the use of and
            destroy any and all retained copies of the Product upon
            transfer.  The software source code if provided under the
            license is not transferrable.
            LIMITED WARRANTY:  The physical diskette(s) and physical
            documentation are warranted to be free of defects in
            materials and workmanship for a period of sixty (60) days
            from the date of original purchase.  For the same period,
            the software is warranted against significant errors that
            make it unusable for the operating system and compiler
            version originally provided by SoftC.  If the Customer
            notifies SoftC within this 60 day period, SoftC will replace
            any defective diskette and/or documentation.  SoftC will
            attempt to correct or help the Customer to avoid errors in
            the software with efforts that SoftC believes suitable to
            the problem, or at SoftC's option, authorize a refund of the
            Customer's license fee.  OTHER THAN THE FOREGOING
            WARRANTIES, SOFTC, LTD. MAKES NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR

            has been advised of the possibility of the same.

            and as they become available, may be offered for a separate
            charge, but SoftC has no obligation to provide any such
            support, updates, fixes, or enhancements to the Product.

            this Agreement by the Customer.  The Customer shall cease
            use of the Product upon termination.  In the event that
            Customer has received source code for the Product, upon
            written request by SoftC, Customer shall provide written
            certification by an officer of Customer that all copies of
            the source code have been returned or destroyed.

            of the State of Minnesota.  If any provision of this
            Agreement is found void, invalid, or unenforceable, it will

            terms.  In the event any remedy herein is determined to have
