Microsoft(r) Windows(r) XP Professional

END-USER LICENSE AGREEMENT

IMPORTANT-READ CAREFULLY: This End-User
License Agreement ("EULA") is a legal agreement between you
(either an individual or a single legal entity) and the
manufacturer ("Manufacturer") of the computer system or computer
system component ("HARDWARE") with which you acquired the
Microsoft software product(s) identified above ("SOFTWARE"). The
SOFTWARE includes Microsoft computer software, and may include
associated media, printed materials, "online," or electronic
documentation and Internet based services. Note, however, that
any software, documentation, or web services that are included in
the SOFTWARE, or accessible via the SOFTWARE, and are
accompanied by their own license agreements or terms of use
are governed by such agreements rather than this EULA. The terms
of a printed, paper EULA, which may accompany the SOFTWARE,
supersede the terms of any on-screen EULA. This EULA is valid
and grants the end-user rights ONLY if the SOFTWARE is genuine
and a genuine Certificate of Authenticity for the SOFTWARE is
included. For more information on identifying whether your
software is genuine, please see
http://www.microsoft.com/piracy/howtotell.

By installing, copying, downloading, accessing or otherwise using
the SOFTWARE, you agree to be bound by the terms of this EULA.
If you do not agree to the terms of this EULA, you may not use or
copy the SOFTWARE, and you should promptly contact Manufacturer
for instructions on return of the unused product(s) in accordance
with Manufacturer's return policies.

SOFTWARE PRODUCT LICENSE

The term "COMPUTER" as used herein shall mean the HARDWARE, if
the HARDWARE is a single computer system, or shall mean the
computer system with which the HARDWARE operates, if the
HARDWARE is a computer system component.

1. GRANT OF LICENSE. Manufacturer grants you the following
rights, provided you comply with all of the terms and
conditions of this EULA:

* Installation and Use. Except as otherwise expressly
provided in this EULA, you may install, use, access,
display and run only one (1) copy of the SOFTWARE on
the COMPUTER. The SOFTWARE may not
be used by more than two (2) processors at any one time
on the COMPUTER, unless a higher number is indicated
on the Certificate of Authenticity. You may permit a
maximum of ten (10) ("Connection Maximum") computers
or other electronic devices (each a "Device") to connect
to the COMPUTER to utilize the services of the SOFTWARE
solely for File and Print services, Internet Information
services, and remote access (including connection sharing
and telephony services). The ten (10) Connection Maximum
includes any indirect connections made through
"multiplexing" or other software or hardware which pools
or aggregates connections. Except as otherwise permitted
below, you may not use the Device to use, access, display
or run the SOFTWARE, the SOFTWARE's
User Interface or other executable software residing
on the COMPUTER.

* Software as a Component of the Computer - Transfer. THIS
LICENSE MAY NOT BE SHARED,
TRANSFERRED TO OR USED CONCURRENTLY
ON DIFFERENT COMPUTERS. The SOFTWARE
is licensed with the HARDWARE as a single integrated
product and may only be used with the HARDWARE. If the
SOFTWARE is not accompanied by new HARDWARE, you may
not use the SOFTWARE. You may permanently transfer all
of your rights under this EULA only as part of a
permanent sale or transfer of the HARDWARE, provided
you retain no copies, if you transfer all of the SOFTWARE
(including all component parts, the media and printed
materials, any upgrades, this EULA and the Certificate
of Authenticity), and the recipient agrees to the terms
of this EULA. If the SOFTWARE is an upgrade, any
transfer must also include all prior versions of the
SOFTWARE.

during the setup sequence (unless Manufacturer has
activated for you). You can activate the SOFTWARE
through the use of the Internet or telephone; toll
charges may apply. You may also need to reactivate the
SOFTWARE if you modify your HARDWARE or alter the
SOFTWARE.

* Security Updates. Content providers are using the digital
rights management technology ("Microsoft DRM") contained
in this SOFTWARE to protect the integrity of their

property, including copyright, in such content is not
misappropriated. Owners of such Secure Content ("Secure
Content Owners") may, from time to time, request MS,
Microsoft Corporation or their subsidiaries to provide
security related updates to the Microsoft DRM components
of the SOFTWARE ("Security Updates") that may affect
your ability to copy, display and/or play Secure Content
through Microsoft software or third party applications
that utilize Microsoft DRM.
YOU THEREFORE AGREE THAT, IF YOU

THAT MS, MICROSOFT CORPORATION OR
THEIR SUBSIDIARIES DISTRIBUTE. MS,
Microsoft Corporation or their subsidiaries will not
retrieve any personally identifiable information, or
any other information, from your COMPUTER by downloading
such Security Updates.

INCLUDED A BACK-UP COPY OF THE
SOFTWARE WITH THE COMPUTER ON
PHYSICAL MEDIA (e.g. CD OR
PARTITIONED HARD DRIVE), YOU MAY
MAKE A SINGLE BACK-UP COPY OF THE
SOFTWARE. You may use the back-up copy solely for your
archival purposes and to reinstall the SOFTWARE on the
COMPUTER. Except as expressly provided in this EULA
or by local law, you may not otherwise make copies of

you may install, use, access, display and run ONE of
the following versions: Microsoft Windows 2000
Professional, Microsoft Windows NT Workstation version

affiliates or subsidiaries: (2) you agree that neither
Manufacturer, MS nor Microsoft Corporation will provide
you with the Downgrade Software or media; (3) you may
not loan, rent, lease, lend or otherwise transfer the
CD or back-up copy of Microsoft Windows XP Professional

purposes of this EULA and use of the Downgrade Software
shall be in compliance with all the terms of this EULA,
except that, with respect to Microsoft Windows 98 (Second
Edition), your Connection Maximum shall be limited to
five (5) Devices.

LIMITATIONS.

* NetMeeting/Remote Assistance/Remote Desktop Features.
SOFTWARE may contain NetMeeting, Remote Assistance, and
Remote Desktop technologies that enable the SOFTWARE
or other applications installed on the COMPUTER to be
used remotely between two or more computers, even if
the SOFTWARE or application is installed on only one
COMPUTER. You may use NetMeeting, Remote Assistance,
and Remote Desktop with all Microsoft products; provided
however, use of these technologies with certain Microsoft
products may require an additional license. For
Microsoft and non-Microsoft products, you should consult
the license agreement accompanying the applicable product
or contact the applicable licensor to determine whether
use of NetMeeting, Remote Assistance, or Remote Desktop
is permitted without an additional license.

* Consent to Use of Data. You agree that MS and Microsoft
Corporation and their affiliates may collect and use
technical information gathered in any manner as part
of the product support services provided to you, if any,
related to the SOFTWARE. MS, Microsoft Corporation and
their affiliates may use this information solely to
improve their products or to provide customized services
or technologies to you. MS, Microsoft Corporation and
their affiliates may disclose this information to others,
but not in a form that personally identifies you.

* Internet Gaming/Update Features. If you choose to utilize
the Internet gaming or update features within the
SOFTWARE, it is necessary to use certain COMPUTER system,
hardware, and software information to implement the
features. By using these features, you explicitly
authorize MS, Microsoft Corporation and/or their
designated agent to use this information solely to
improve our products or to provide customized services
or technologies to you. MS or Microsoft Corporation
may disclose this information to others, but not in a
form that personally identifies you.

* Internet-Based Services Components. The SOFTWARE contains
components that enable and facilitate the use of certain
Internet-based services. You acknowledge and agree that
MS, Microsoft Corporation or their subsidiaries may
automatically check the version of the SOFTWARE and/or
its components that you are utilizing and may provide
upgrades or supplements to the SOFTWARE that may be
automatically downloaded to your COMPUTER.

* Language Version Selection. (i) Manufacturer may have
elected to provide you with a one-time selection of two
or more language versions of the SOFTWARE as part of
the SOFTWARE setup process. In such event, you are
licensed to use only one of the language versions
provided. Once you have used a language version, you
are not licensed to use any of the other language
versions that Manufacturer may have included with the
COMPUTER. (ii) Notwithstanding the preceding, if
Manufacturer has elected to provide you with a
Multilingual User Interface ("MUI") for certain language
versions with additional language version support of
the SOFTWARE, the preceding limitation to select and
use only one language version of the SOFTWARE shall not
apply, so long as (A) you acknowledge that the MUI, and
the language support contained therein, is a part of
the SOFTWARE, (B) you only use the MUI with the SOFTWARE,
and (C) you comply with all of the other terms and
conditions of this EULA.

to provide you with a selection of Microsoft operating
system software for the COMPUTER. If the SOFTWARE
PRODUCT includes more than one (1) Microsoft operating
system ("Microsoft OS"), you are licensed to use only
one of the Microsoft OS selections provided. As part
of the setup process for the SOFTWARE you will be given
a one-time option to select one (1) Microsoft OS. Upon
selection, the one Microsoft OS selected by you will
be set up on the COMPUTER, and the other Microsoft OS(s)
not selected by you will be automatically and permanently
deleted from the hard disk of the COMPUTER.

* Additional Software/Services. The terms of this EULA apply
to Microsoft updates, supplements, add-on components,
or Internet-based services components of the SOFTWARE
("Supplemental Components") that Manufacturer, MS,
Microsoft Corporation or their subsidiaries may provide
to you or make available to you after the date you obtain
your initial copy of the SOFTWARE, unless other terms
are provided along with such Supplemental Components.
If other terms are not provided along with such
Supplemental Components and the Supplemental Components
are provided to you by MS, Microsoft Corporation or a
Microsoft subsidiary then you will be licensed by such
entity under the same terms and conditions of this EULA,
except that the MS, Microsoft Corporation or Microsoft
subsidiary entity providing the Supplemental Components
will be the licensor with respect to such components
in lieu of the "Manufacturer" for the purposes of the
EULA, including, without limitation the Limited Warranty
Appendix. THE LIMITED WARRANTY (IF
ANY) INCLUDED WITH OR IN THIS EULA
APPLIES TO SUCH SUPPLEMENTAL
COMPONENTS (IF ANY) PROVIDED THAT
YOU LICENSED THE SUPPLEMENTAL
COMPONENTS WITHIN THE ORIGINAL TERM
OF THE LIMITED WARRANTY. HOWEVER,
PROVISION OF THE SUPPLEMENTAL
COMPONENTS DOES NOT EXTEND THE TIME
PERIOD FOR WHICH THE LIMITED WARRANTY
IS PROVIDED. ALL OTHER DISCLAIMERS,
EXCLUSIONS OF DAMAGES, AND
LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY AND REMEDIES
SET FORTH IN THIS EULA SHALL APPLY
TO SUCH SUPPLEMENTAL COMPONENTS.

Manufacturer, MS, Microsoft Corporation and their

extent that such activity is expressly permitted by
applicable law notwithstanding this limitation.

* Separation of Components. The SOFTWARE is licensed as a
single product. Its component parts may not be separated
for use on more than one computer.

* Single EULA. The package for the SOFTWARE may contain
multiple versions of this EULA, such as multiple
translations and/or multiple media versions (e.g., in
the user documentation and in the software). In this
case, you are only licensed to use one (1) copy of the
SOFTWARE.

* Termination. Without prejudice to any other rights,
Manufacturer or MS may cancel this EULA if you do not
abide by the terms and conditions contained herein.
In such event, you must destroy all copies of the
SOFTWARE and all of its component parts.

* Trademarks. This EULA does not grant you any rights in
connection with any trademarks or service marks of

Microsoft Corporation as being eligible for the upgrade in
order to use the SOFTWARE ("Eligible Product"). For the
purpose of upgrade(s) only, "HARDWARE" shall mean the
computer system or computer system component with which you
received the Eligible Product. SOFTWARE labeled as an
upgrade replaces and/or supplements (and may disable, if
upgrading a Microsoft software product) the Eligible
Product which came with the HARDWARE. After upgrading, you
may no longer use the SOFTWARE that formed the basis for
your upgrade eligibility (unless otherwise provided). You
may use the resulting upgraded product only in accordance
with the terms of this EULA and only with the HARDWARE. If
the SOFTWARE is an upgrade of a component of a package of
software programs that you licensed as a single product,
the SOFTWARE may be used and transferred only as part of
that single product package and may not be separated for
use on more than one computer.

property rights in and to the content that is not contained
in the SOFTWARE, but which may be accessed through use of
the SOFTWARE is the property of the respective content
owner and may be protected by applicable copyright or other
intellectual property laws and treaties. Use of any on-
line services which may be accessed through the SOFTWARE
may be governed by the respective terms of use relating to
such services. If this SOFTWARE contains documentation
that is provided only in electronic form, you may print one
copy of such electronic documentation. You may not copy
the printed materials accompanying the SOFTWARE.

5. PRODUCT SUPPORT. SOFTWARE support for the

been advised of the possibility of such damages. In any case,
Manufacturer's and its suppliers' entire liability under any

IMPORTANT-READ CAREFULLY: This End-User
License Agreement ("EULA") is a legal agreement between you
(either an individual or a single legal entity) and the
manufacturer ("Manufacturer") of the computer system or computer
system component ("HARDWARE") with which you acquired the
Microsoft software product(s) identified above ("SOFTWARE"). The
SOFTWARE includes Microsoft computer software, and may include
associated media, printed materials, "online," or electronic
documentation and Internet based services. Note, however, that
any software, documentation, or web services that are included in
the SOFTWARE, or accessible via the SOFTWARE, and are
accompanied by their own license agreements or terms of use
are governed by such agreements rather than this EULA. The terms
of a printed, paper EULA, which may accompany the SOFTWARE,
supersede the terms of any on-screen EULA. This EULA is valid
and grants the end-user rights ONLY if the SOFTWARE is genuine
and a genuine Certificate of Authenticity for the SOFTWARE is
included. For more information on identifying whether your
software is genuine, please see

By installing, copying, downloading, accessing or otherwise using
the SOFTWARE, you agree to be bound by the terms of this EULA.
If you do not agree to the terms of this EULA, you may not use or
copy the SOFTWARE, and you should promptly contact Manufacturer
for instructions on return of the unused product(s) in accordance
with Manufacturer's return policies.

SOFTWARE PRODUCT LICENSE

the HARDWARE is a single computer system, or shall mean the
computer system with which the HARDWARE operates, if the
HARDWARE is a computer system component.

1. GRANT OF LICENSE. Manufacturer grants you the following
rights, provided you comply with all of the terms and

SOFTWARE is not accompanied by new HARDWARE, you may
not use the SOFTWARE. You may permanently transfer all
of your rights under this EULA only as part of a
permanent sale or transfer of the HARDWARE, provided
you retain no copies, if you transfer all of the SOFTWARE

is permitted without an additional license.

* Consent to Use of Data. You agree that MS and Microsoft
Corporation and their affiliates may collect and use
technical information gathered in any manner as part
of the product support services provided to you, if any,

MS, Microsoft Corporation or their subsidiaries may
automatically check the version of the SOFTWARE and/or
its components that you are utilizing and may provide
upgrades or supplements to the SOFTWARE that may be
automatically downloaded to your COMPUTER.

* Language Version Selection. (i) Manufacturer may have
elected to provide you with a one-time selection of two

are not licensed to use any of the other language
versions that Manufacturer may have included with the
COMPUTER. (ii) Notwithstanding the preceding, if
Manufacturer has elected to provide you with a
Multilingual User Interface ("MUI") for certain language
versions with additional language version support of
the SOFTWARE, the preceding limitation to select and
use only one language version of the SOFTWARE shall not
apply, so long as (A) you acknowledge that the MUI, and

be set up on the COMPUTER, and the other Microsoft OS(s)
not selected by you will be automatically and permanently
deleted from the hard disk of the COMPUTER.

to Microsoft updates, supplements, add-on components,
or Internet-based services components of the SOFTWARE
("Supplemental Components") that Manufacturer, MS,
Microsoft Corporation or their subsidiaries may provide
to you or make available to you after the date you obtain
your initial copy of the SOFTWARE, unless other terms
are provided along with such Supplemental Components.
If other terms are not provided along with such
Supplemental Components and the Supplemental Components
are provided to you by MS, Microsoft Corporation or a
Microsoft subsidiary then you will be licensed by such
entity under the same terms and conditions of this EULA,
except that the MS, Microsoft Corporation or Microsoft
subsidiary entity providing the Supplemental Components
will be the licensor with respect to such components
in lieu of the "Manufacturer" for the purposes of the
EULA, including, without limitation the Limited Warranty
Appendix. THE LIMITED WARRANTY (IF
ANY) INCLUDED WITH OR IN THIS EULA
APPLIES TO SUCH SUPPLEMENTAL
COMPONENTS (IF ANY) PROVIDED THAT
YOU LICENSED THE SUPPLEMENTAL
COMPONENTS WITHIN THE ORIGINAL TERM
OF THE LIMITED WARRANTY. HOWEVER,
PROVISION OF THE SUPPLEMENTAL

Microsoft Corporation as being eligible for the upgrade in
order to use the SOFTWARE ("Eligible Product"). For the
purpose of upgrade(s) only, "HARDWARE" shall mean the

SOFTWARE will perform substantially in accordance
with the accompanying written materials for a period of
ninety (90) days from the date of receipt, and (b) any
Microsoft hardware accompanying the SOFTWARE will be free
from defects in materials and workmanship under normal use
and service for a period of one (1) year from the date of
receipt. Any implied warranties on the SOFTWARE and
Microsoft hardware are limited to ninety (90) days and one (1)
year, respectively. Some states/jurisdictions do not allow
limitations on duration of an implied warranty, so the above
limitation may not apply to you.

CUSTOMER REMEDIES. Manufacturer's and its suppliers' entire
liability and your exclusive remedy shall be, at Manufacturer's
option, either (a) return of the price paid, or (b) repair or
replacement of the SOFTWARE or hardware that does not meet this
Limited Warranty and which is returned to Manufacturer with a
copy of your receipt. This Limited Warranty is void if failure
of the SOFTWARE or hardware has resulted from accident, abuse, or
misapplication. Any replacement SOFTWARE or hardware will be
warranted for the remainder of the original warranty period or
thirty (30) days, whichever is longer.

NO OTHER WARRANTIES. To the maximum extent permitted by
applicable law, Manufacturer and its suppliers disclaim all other
warranties, either express or implied, including, but not limited
to implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a
particular purpose, with regard to the SOFTWARE, the accompanying
written materials, and any accompanying hardware. This limited
warranty gives you specific legal rights. You may have others
which vary from state/jurisdiction to state/jurisdiction.

NO LIABILITY FOR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES. To
the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall
Manufacturer or its suppliers be liable for any damages
whatsoever (including without limitation, special, incidental,
consequential, or indirect damages for personal injury, loss of
business profits, business interruption, loss of business
information, or any other pecuniary loss) arising out of the use
of or inability to use this product, even if Manufacturer has
been advised of the possibility of such damages. In any case,
Manufacturer's and its suppliers' entire liability under any
provision of this agreement shall be limited to the amount
actually paid by you for the SOFTWARE and/or Microsoft hardware.
Because some states/jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or
limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages,
the above limitation may not apply to you.
