SOFTWARE LICENSE AGREEMENT

Definitions. Unless stated otherwise "you" (and "your") means the
individual or legal entity to whom this license is granted, "we" (also
"us", "our") means Square Box Systems Ltd., copyright owners and licensors
of the software, and "the software" or "our software" means the computer
software application (or applications) known as "CatDV", "CatDV Pro",
"CatDV Personal Edition", "CatDV Professional Edition", "CatDV Server"
or "CatDV Workgroup Server", together with any associated computer files
and documentation, whether in physical or electronic form.

1. By downloading, installing, copying or using the software on any
computer you agree to be bound by the terms of this license agreement,
which both grants you rights and imposes obligations upon you. If you
disagree with any of the terms of this agreement then you must
immediately stop using the software and destroy all copies of the
software in your possession or on your machines.

2. If you download or install the free evaulation version of the
software then you are permitted to use the software for evaluation
purposes for a period of 30 days from the time you first install the
software on any machine. The purpose of this evaluation is to establish
the correct installation of the software on your system and its
suitability for your requirements. Certain features which are normally
available may be disabled in the unregistered version of the software,
and the software may stop functioning altogether at the end of the
evaluation period.

3. If you purchase a license to use the software from us, or one of our
authorised distributors or agents, then we will supply you with an official
software registration code and thereby grant you a license to use the
software in accordance with the terms of this agreement.

4. The software and its constituent files and documentation are
copyrighted and you may not copy the software or any part of the
software except as explicitly stated in this agreement. You are
permitted to install the software on one or more computer system hard
disks, as specified under the terms of this license, and also to make
copies of the software for backup purposes. You are further permitted to
make and distribute copies of the software provided all the following
conditions are met in full: i) you distribute a full installation
archive of the software, as downloaded from the www.catdv.com website,
without expanding or modifying the software or the archive that contains
it in any way, ii) you only distribute the most recent version of the
software available from the www.catdv.com website at the time of
distribution, iii) you adhere to the conditions of the license agreement
included with the archive you are distributing and impose the same
license conditions on the recipients of the software, iv) you do not
misrepesent authorship, ownership or status of the software, v) you do
not impose any charge or fee for the software (other than a minimal
handling charge to cover the direct costs associated with distributing
the software), vi) you do not distribute or reveal any registration
codes or similar confidential information, either with the software or
separately, and vii) you inform us prior to redistributing the software
by emailing [e-mail] and receive an acknowledgement
from us that we received your email. This permission to redistribute
does not extend to third party software that we may distribute with our
software.

5. Unless we explicitly grant you further licenses and except as
provided below any registration codes we may send you may be installed
and used on one computer only. You may transfer a license and
registration from one computer to another by clearing the registration
details and removing the software from the old computer before
installing it on the new one. If you are an individual and are the main
user of more than one computer you may install your registration code on
two computers providing that i) either they are at different physical
sites (for example, one at your place of work and one at your home) or
one is a fixed desktop computer and the other is a portable laptop
computer, ii) you are the main user of both computers, and iii) you
ensure that instances of the software are never simultaneously running
on both machines.

6. Any registration keys or other codes that we supply to you for use
with the software (whether for evaluation purposes or not) are
confidential and personal to you. Any computer files created by the
software and containing details of your registration key are similarly
covered and may not be copied or revealed to anyone else. You agree to
keep all such codes confidential and not permit their use other than
under the conditions permitted by this agreement. If you intentionally
reveal or allow these codes to be used by anyone who is not entitled to
use them then we may hold you liable for any losses that we suffer as a
result.

7. Except as expressly permitted in this license agreement you may not
rent, lease, transfer or sub-license the software without our written
agreement and without imposing similar obligations to those contained in
this license on the recipient. The software is licensed to you, not
sold, and we reserve all rights not explicitly granted to you in this
license. We and/or our licensors retain title to the software and all
intellectual property rights therein.

8. If you install or use any third party software or libraries that may be
distributed with our software but not forming part of it (including but not
limited to "QuickTime" or "Mac Runtime for Java" from Apple Computer Inc.,
and "Java Runtime Environment" and "Swing" from Sun Microsystems Inc.)
then you agree to be bound by the terms of any license agreement(s)
included with that third party software. You agree that (whether or not our
software depends on said third party software to operate) we are providing
said third party software purely as a convenience to users of our software
and that we are not entitled to or able to grant or offer any additional
rights, licenses, warranties, or support in such third party software than
if you had downloaded or obtained them from another source independently
of us.

9. You agree that the internal workings of the software and any computer
files provided as part of the software are confidential trade secrets of
the copyright owner. You agree not to make any attempt to disassemble,
decompile, or reverse engineer the software or any of its constituent
parts. If you acquire knowledge about the internal workings of the
software or any other related trade secrets you agree not to distribute,
disseminate or publish any such information without our written
agreement. You recognise that trade secrets are protected by law in many
jurisdictions and infringement of these conditions (even for "personal"
use) may be a criminal offence punishable by law. Any attempts at
circumventing or defeating any license protection mechanisms in the
software or knowingly using registration codes which were not issued or
authorised by us for your use are expressly prohibited by this agreement
and may constitute a serious criminal offence in many jurisdictions,
punishable by fines and/or imprisonment.

10. We may terminate this license at any time at our sole discretion by
giving you notice in writing and refunding any license fees that you may
have paid for the software. A breach by you of any of the terms of this
license will immediately terminate the license and no refund will be
due. You may terminate the license by deleting, destroying or returning
all copies of the software in your possession and any registration codes
that may have been issued to you. Any obligations made on you under this
agreement not to reveal or distribute confidential or copyrighted
information, including but not limited to registration codes or trade
secrets related to the internal workings of the software, survive
termination of this license.

11. This software is not designed to be fault tolerant and is not
approved for use in situations where malfunction could lead to death,
personal injury, or environmental damage, including (but not limited to)
nuclear facilities, air traffic control, aircraft navigation or
communication systems, or medical life support machines.

12. If we provide you with software which is labelled as "beta" then you
recognise this is "pre-release" software which is provided solely for
the purposes of evaluation and testing. You take full responsibility for
making backup copies and safeguarding any files or data that may be
damaged or destroyed through use of such software. Such software may not
yet have been publicly announced and you agree not to disclose or
discuss any details of the beta software to any third party, other than
via discussion forums we may provide for this specific purpose. You
recognise that the the capabilities provided by such software may vary
without notice from release to release, and the software may be "time
limited" and cease functioning altogether after a particular date.

13. This license agreement supersedes any or all previous versions of
this license. By downloading or installing new versions of the software
or by continuing to use the software after you receive a copy of this
new license you agree to be bound by any new or altered terms in this
license.

14. This agreement is governed by English law. If any provision of this
license agreement or portion thereof is found to be unenforceable you
agree to be bound by the remainder of this license agreement.

LOSS MAY BE INCURRED.
