A.   LICENSE TERMS AND CONDITIONS APPLICABLE TO SOFTWARE
     PURCHASED FROM OEM PARTNER

This is a legal agreement between you, the end user, and Ahead
Software GmbH, Im Stoeckmaedle 6, 76307 Karlsbad, Germany
("Ahead").

By opening the sealed Ahead Software, you are agreeing to be
bound by the terms of this agreement.  If you do not agree to the
terms of this agreement, promptly return the Ahead Software and
the accompanying items (including written materials and binders
or other containers) to the place you obtained them for a full
refund.

I. Grant of license
This Ahead license agreement (license) permits you to use one
copy of the Software acquired with this license on any single
computer, provided the Software is in use on only one computer at
any time. If you have a multiple license for the Software, you
may then have as many copies of the Software as you have
licenses, in use at any time. The Software is in use on a
computer when it is loaded into the temporary memory or installed
into the permanent memory (e.g. hard disk, CD ROM, or other
storage device) of that computer, except that a copy installed on
a network server for the sole purpose of distribution to other
computers is not in use.  If the anticipated number of users of
the Software will exceed the number of applicable licenses, then
you must have a reasonable mechanism or process in place to
assure that the number of persons using the Software concurrently
does not exceed the number of licenses. Should one person use a
computer on which the Software is permanently installed, either
on the hard disk or other storage device of the computer  (other
than a network server), for more than 80% of the time it is in
use, then that person may also use the Software on a portable or
home computer.

You are only licensed to use the Software if purchased as a
bundle with CD/DVD-Recording hardware.

II. Copyright
The Software is owned by Ahead or its suppliers and is protected
by copyright laws, international treaty provisions, and other
national laws. Therefore, you must treat the Software like any
other copyrighted material (e.g. a book) except that if the
Software is not copy protected you may either (a) make one copy
of the Software solely for backup or archival purposes, or (b)
transfer the Software to a single hard disk provided you keep the
original solely for backup or archival purposes.  Product
manual(s) or written materials accompanying the Software may not
be copied.

III. Other restrictions
You may not rent or lease the Software, but you may transfer your
rights under this Ahead license agreement on a permanent basis
provided you transfer all copies of the Software and all written
materials, and the recipient agrees to the terms of this
agreement. You may not reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble
the Software. Any transfer must include the most recent update
and all prior versions.

This Ahead license agreement (license) does not include the right
to use the included MPEG Layer-3 audio compression technology for
use in real time broadcasting (terrestrial, satellite, cable or
other media) or broadcasting via
Internet or other networks, such as but not limited to intranets
etc. or in pay-audio or audio-on-demand applications.

I. Grant of license
This Ahead license agreement (license) permits you to use one

entire liability and your exclusive remedy for a breach of this
warranty shall be, at Ahead`s option, either (a) return of the
price paid or (b) repair or replacement of the Software that does
not meet Ahead`s limited warranty and which is returned to Ahead
with a copy of your receipt.  If failure of the Software has
resulted from accident, abuse, or misapplication, this limited
warranty shall be void.  Any replacement Software will be
warranted for the remainder of the original warranty period or 30
days, whichever is longer.  AHEAD MAKES NO OTHER WARRANTIES TO
YOU IN CONNECTION WITH THIS LICENSE, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO
