PLEASE READ THIS AGREEMENT (THE "AGREEMENT") CAREFULLY BEFORE UPGRADING,
COPYING, INSTALLING, OR USING SOFTWARE FROM TERABYTE INC. ("TERABYTE").

WHEREAS, Terabyte is a vendor of software products, and

WHEREAS, the individual or entity using this product ("User") desires to
obtain the rights to use this product,

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and promises
contained herein, and for good and valuable consideration, Terabyte and
User agree that the foregoing recitals are true and correct, and agree as
follows.

I. Definitions

  A. The Software
     Computer software products owned by TeraByte, and computer
     software products owned by suppliers of TeraByte, distributed
     by TeraByte under agreement with the owners of such software,
     which software products have been offered by TeraByte as
     Freeware, i.e. available for use without payment of licensing
     fees.

  B. Media Fees
     Such fees as may be charged by TeraByte to User, or by User
     to third parties, to compensate for the cost of the media
     used to transfer the Software.

  C. License
     The right for User to use the Software pursuant to the terms
     and conditions defined herein.  The absence of a license fee
     shall in no way be an indication of a willingness or desire
     on the part of TeraByte to place the Software in the public
     domain.  TeraByte intends to retain, and does retain, all
     intellectual property and ownership rights in the Software.

  D. Shrinkwrap Agreement
     The unsigned agreement distributed with the Software defining
     the standard terms and conditions under which the Software is
     distributed and license granted.

II. Acceptance Of Terms

  A. This agreement shall be accepted by User upon User's
     performance of any of the following acts:

    a. Installation, copying, or use of the Software on one or
       more of User's computers;
    b. Distribution of the Software to any party other than
       Terabyte;
    c. Retention of installable version of the Software for
       more than fifteen (15) days; or
    d. Any other act not consistent with non-acceptance of the
       terms and conditions recited herein.

  B. If User does not accept the terms and conditions recited
     herein, User shall delete, return, and/or discard any files,
     data, or materials associated with the Software.

  C. If User has a License Agreement executed by an authorized
     representative of TeraByte (and "Executed Agreement")
     containing one or more terms and conditions which are
     inconsistent with the terms and conditions contained in the
     shrinkwrap license, then to the extent necessary, the terms
     and conditions of the Executed Agreement shall supersede
     those of the shrinkwrap license.

III. Scope of Use

  A. User may use the Software on an unlimited number of
     computers.

  B. User may distribute the Software to third-parties only where
     such third-parties are aware of, and agree to be bound by,
     the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement.  Such
     distribution shall include all files associated with the
     Software.

  C. User may only use the Software in accordance with its
     intended use as documented by TeraByte and distributed along
     with the Software.

  D. The Software may not be used to support any third party
     product without the express written consent of an authorized
     representative of TeraByte.

  E. User may not modify the Software, any accompanying
     documentation, or any file utilized in the delivery or
     distribution of the Software or any accompanying
     documentation, without the express written consent of an
     authorized representative of TeraByte.

  F. User may not reverse engineer, decompile, nor take any other
     steps consistent with an attempt to reveal any confidential,
     trade secret, or other non-public information associated with
     the Software.  Further, User may not assist any other party
     attempting to reverse engineer, decompile, nor take any other
     steps consistent with an attempt to reveal any confidential,
     trade secret, or other non-public information associated with
     the Software.  Should User become aware of any activity in
     violation of this term, whether or not under User's control
     or authorization, User will inform TeraByte of such activity
     and assist TeraByte in terminating such activity and
     protecting its threatened rights.

  G. User may not sell, rent, lease, or otherwise charge for the
     distribution, installation, copying, or storage of the
     Software, other than a media fee as defined herein.

  H. User may not sell, rent, lease, distribute, or use the
     Software, nor cause the Software to be sold, rented, leased,
     distributed, or used, where such sale, rental, lease,
     distribution, or use is prohibited by any statute or
     governmental agency of the United States or other
     international, national, or local entity having jurisdiction
     at the point of sale, rental, lease, distribution, or use,
     nor may User sell, rent, lease, distribute, or use the
     Software where User is aware that such sale, rental, lease,
     distribution, or use is likely to result directly or
     indirectly in a sale, rental, lease, distribution, or use
     prohibited by any statute or governmental agency of the
     United States or other international, national, or local
     entity having jurisdiction at the point of initial or
