+
+CENQUA IS WILLING TO LICENSE CLOVER AND ACCOMPANYING DOCUMENTATION

+1. Software: The licensed Software is "Clover Evaluation Edition".
+
+2. Grant of License: Cortex eBusiness Pty Ltd ("Cenqua") hereby
+   grants to Evaluator, for 30 days (the "Evaluation Period")
+   following the execution of this Agreement (the "Agreement"), a
+   limited, nontransferable, nonexclusive, nonsublicensable,
+   revocable, worldwide license to use the Software for the purposes
+   of internal evaluation and testing for suitability for commercial
+   licensing ("Evaluation") by Evaluator. Title to the Software shall
+   remain with Cenqua at all times.
+
+3. Exclusions: Evaluator shall not: a. copy any part of the Software
+   except to make one copy for back-up purposes only; b. reverse
+   compile or reverse assemble any portion of the Software where the
+   source code is not freely accessible; c. distribute, disclose,
+   market, rent, lease, or transfer the Software; d. export the
+   Software; or e. allow others to make or obtain copies of the
+   Software.
+
+4. Support: Cenqua may, during the Evaluation Period, make
+   available updates, enhancements, and/or modifications to the
+   Software and may provide such updates to Evaluator, but is under no
+   obligation to do so. The provision by Cenqua to Evaluator of
+   such updates, enhancements, and/or modifications to the Software
+   shall be subject to all terms and conditions of this Agreement and
+   shall expire at the end of the Evaluation Period.
+
+5. Specific Disclaimer of Warranty and Limitation of Liability:
+
+THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. CENQUA
+DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT
+LIMITED TO THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A
+PARTICULAR PURPOSE. CENQUA WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES
+ASSOCIATED WITH THE SOFTWARE, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ORDINARY,
+INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING
+BUT NOT LIMITED TO DAMAGES RELATING TO LOST DATA OR LOST PROFITS, EVEN
+IF CENQUA HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
+
+6. Termination: Evaluator's license to use the Software shall
+   terminate on the earlier of (i) written notice by either Cenqua
+   or Evaluator, or (ii) expiration of the Evaluation Period. Upon
+   termination of the license as provided above, Evaluator shall
+   promptly destroy the Software and any back-up copy of the Software
+   made during the Evaluation Period. Evaluator shall also promptly
+   return all materials provided by Cenqua in connection with the
+   Software.
+
+7. Warranties and Representations; Indemnification. Evaluator warrants
+   and represents that Evaluator's actions with regard to the Software
+   will be in compliance with all applicable laws; and Evaluator will
+   indemnify, defend, and hold Cenqua harmless from and against any
+   and all liabilities, damages, losses, claims, costs, and expenses
+   (including legal fees) arising out of or resulting from Evaluator's
+   failure to observe the use restrictions set forth herein.
+
+8. Governing Law: This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of New
+   South Wales, Australia.
+
+9.Independent Contractors; Assignment: The parties are independent
+  contractors with respect to each other, and nothing in this
+  Agreement shall be construed as creating an employer-employee
+  relationship, a partnership, agency relationship or a joint venture
+  between the parties. This Agreement is not assignable or
+  transferable by Evaluator.
+
+10.Entire Agreement: This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement
+   between the parties concerning Evaluator's use of the
+   Software. This Agreement supersedes any prior verbal understanding
+   between the parties and any Evaluator purchase order or other
+   ordering document, regardless of whether such document is received
+   by Cenqua before or after execution of this Agreement. This
+   Agreement may be amended only in writing by Cenqua.
