AGREEMENT AS THE "LICENSEE."

IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS
AGREEMENT, YOU MUST NOT CLICK THE "ACCEPT" BUTTON, YOU
MUST NOT INSTALL OR USE THE PRODUCT, AND YOU DO NOT
BECOME A LICENSEE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT.

1. LICENSE AGREEMENT. As used in this Agreement, for residents of
Europe, the Middle East or Africa, "Netscape" shall mean Netscape
Communications Ireland Limited; for residents of Japan, "Netscape" shall
mean Netscape Communications (Japan), Ltd.; for residents of all other

circumstances: (i) if Licensee acquired the Product as a bundled component of
a third party product or service, then such third party shall be Licensor; and

and no license is presented for acceptance the first time that third party
software is invoked, then the use of that third party software shall be governed
by this Agreement, but the term "Licensor," with respect to such third party
software, shall mean the manufacturer of that software and not Netscape.
With the exception of the situation described in (ii) above, the use of any
included third party software product shall be governed by the third party's
license agreement and not by this Agreement, whether that license agreement
is presented for acceptance the first time that the third party software is
invoked, is included in a file in electronic form, or is included in the package
in printed form. If more than one license agreement was provided for the
Product, and the terms vary, the order of precedence of those license
agreements is as follows: a signed agreement, a license agreement available
for review on the Netscape website, a printed or electronic agreement that
states clearly that it supersedes other agreements, a printed agreement
provided with the Product, an electronic agreement provided with the Product.

2. LICENSE GRANT. Licensor grants Licensee a non-exclusive and non-
transferable license to reproduce and use for personal or internal business
purposes the executable code version of the Product, provided any copy must
contain all of the original proprietary notices. This license does not entitle
Licensee to receive from Netscape hard-copy documentation, technical
support, telephone assistance, or enhancements or updates to the Product.

Agreement, or in another Netscape agreement to which Licensee is a party
such as the Netscape Client Customization Kit License Agreement (the "CCK

Browser Distribution Program License Agreement, Licensee may not:
(i) modify or create any derivative works of the Product or documentation,
including customization, translation or localization; (ii) decompile,
disassemble, reverse engineer, or otherwise attempt to derive the source code

restriction or as provided by the Netscape Public License or Mozilla Public
License for portions of the Product governed by those licenses);
(iii) redistribute, encumber, sell, rent, lease, sublicense, or otherwise transfer
rights to the Product; (iv) remove or alter any trademark, logo, copyright or
other proprietary notices, legends, symbols or labels in the Product; or
(v) publish any results of benchmark tests run on the Product to a third party
without Netscape's prior written consent.

receive the Product on media, there may be a small charge for the media and
for shipping and handling. Licensee is responsible for any and all taxes.

terminate this Agreement if Licensee breaches any of its terms and conditions.
Upon termination, Licensee shall destroy all copies of the Product.

property rights in the Product shall remain in Netscape and/or its suppliers.

10. DIGITAL CERTIFICATES. The Product supports certain cryptographic
and authentication features, including but not limited to Secure Sockets Layer
communications, that may require the installation and/or use of a digital
certificate. Digital certificates are issued, validated, and revoked by third-
party certification authorities ("CAs") over which Netscape has no control.
Licensee is solely responsible for familiarizing itself with the terms and
conditions established by a CA for the use of, or reliance upon, its digital
certificates, including but not limited to any obligation of Licensee to validate
a digital certificate, maintain the security of a cryptographic key or password,
or pay fees for certification services. Netscape has preloaded digital
certificates of certain CAs into the Product in order to facilitate the
recognition of digital certificates that such CAs have issued to persons,
organizations, or devices (including software code). LICENSEE IS SOLELY

DIGITAL CERTIFICATE, INCLUDING THOSE DIGITAL
CERTIFICATES THAT NETSCAPE HAS PRELOADED INTO THE

THE SECURITY OR INTEGRITY OF ANY TRANSACTION OR
COMMUNICATION AUTHENTICATED BY A DIGITAL CERTIFICATE.
