This License Agreement, effective upon gaining permission from the DOE, if

Energy ("DOE") under contract DE-AC04-94AL85000 ("Contract");
WHEREAS, Sandia has developed and acquired, and may further develop
and acquire, Sandia Software and Sandia Promotional Materials (as
defined herein); and Sandia is, and may further become, the assignee
of Sandia Patent Rights (defined herein);
WHEREAS, Sandia has either been granted or will request a waiver of
title from DOE for Sandia Patent Rights and permission from DOE to
assert copyright for Sandia Software. Under the terms of such
permission, the United States Government reserves a nonexclusive
license in Sandia Patent Rights and Sandia Software for use by or on
behalf of the United States Government;
WHEREAS, Sandia desires to license Sandia Patent Rights, Sandia
Software and Sandia Promotional Materials in support of technology
transfer to United States industries to enhance the United States'

laboratory in order to advance its technology;
WHEREAS, VIGA has stated in writing that it will have as principals
of its company certain Sandia employees and/or Sandia contractors;
WHEREAS, under the terms of its Contract, Sandia must ". . . obtain
approval of the Contracting Officer prior to any . . . exclusive
licensing, . . . of Intellectual Property to any person who currently

under which AT&T reserved nonexclusive licenses in Sandia Patent
Rights. Under the AT&T contract, AT&T's rights to the patent do not

ARTICLE II--LICENSE AND OWNERSHIP
2.1 Subject to the terms and conditions of this License Agreement, and
the rights reserved to DOE and AT&T, Sandia hereby grants VIGA a
nontransferable, limited exclusive, worldwide right and license to
use and reproduce Sandia Software, a license to develop Derivative
Works of Sandia Software, and a right to distribute and sublicense

-3-
2.2 Provided that VIGA meets its performance obligations under Article
III, Sandia agrees to refrain from executing additional licenses of
Sandia Software and Sandia Patent Rights for a period of five (5)
years from the effective date of this License Agreement. At the end
of the five (5) year period, VIGA may request an extension of time in
which Sandia will refrain from executing additional licenses. Sandia
has the right to make the final decision concerning such an extension
at this time. In the event that VIGA's request for such an extension
of time is denied by Sandia, a nonexclusive license will
automatically issue and continue in force to VIGA upon payment of
royalties as set forth in this License Agreement.
2.3 Sandia further grants to VIGA the right to extend the right and
license granted it under Paragraph 2.1 of Article II to each of
VIGA's Affiliates upon Sandia's prior written approval of each such
extension, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld, provided
that each such Affiliate licensed by extension, hereinafter "Licensed
Affiliate," agrees to be bound by all of the terms and conditions of
this License Agreement to the same extent as VIGA. Upon such
extension to a Licensed Affiliate, VIGA as used herein shall be
deemed to include any and all Licensed Affiliates. For the purposes
of this License Agreement, the operations of such Licensed Affiliates
shall be deemed to be the operations of VIGA who shall be primarily
responsible therefor.
2.4 Sandia further grants VIGA the right to use, reproduce and distribute
Sandia Promotional Material provided that the Sandia Thunderbird logo
and references to Sandia, Sandia National Laboratories, SNL or Sandia
Corporation are removed from any and all reproductions of Sandia
Promotional Material which VIGA distributes.
2.5 Sandia further grants VIGA the right to sublicense VIGA Software to
others, including VARs, to market and distribute VIGA Software to

the right to produce Derivative Works of VIGA Software, provided that
such Sublicensees agree to be bound to the terms of this License
Agreement to the same extent as VIGA.
2.6 Subject to the terms and conditions of this License Agreement, VIGA
hereby grants Sandia, a paid-up, irrevocable, nonexclusive, license
to use and reproduce VIGA Software, and to develop Derivative Works
based on VIGA Software. Sandia's right and license to use and copy
VIGA Software shall be limited to internal use at Sandia.
2.7 Sandia shall retain ownership of Sandia Software at all times.
Therefore, no ownership interest in Sandia Software is transferred to
VIGA under this License Agreement. Sandia reserves the right to
create derivative works to Sandia Software.
2.8 VIGA shall retain ownership of VIGA Software at all times. Therefore,
no ownership interest in VIGA Software is transferred to Sandia under
this License Agreement.
2.9 Express or implied rights beyond the scope of Article II are
expressly excluded. Specifically excluded from the grants under
Article II are the right to sell, lease or transfer all or any part
of Sandia Software to others separate and apart from VIGA Software.

immediately return to Sandia all drawings, data, memoranda and

-8-
Sandia Software, whether prepared by VIGA or Sandia, including all

discretion if VIGA, at any time:
(a) defaults in the payment of any fee or royalty due to Sandia;

7.5 Sandia may terminate or reduce the rights and licenses granted by
Article II at its sole discretion, if the royalties for any annual
accounting period are less than the minimum set forth in EXHIBIT C,
by giving VIGA a written notice of its election to do so, specifying

notice. VIGA may prevent such termination or reduction in rights by

specified in such notice, the difference between royalties accrued

due.

voluntary petition in bankruptcy, adjudication as a bankrupt pursuant

permanent receiver, trustee or custodian for its business, or an
assignment for the benefit of creditors. This termination will become
effective immediately upon Sandia giving written notice to VIGA.
7.7 The Parties further agree that VIGA shall be required to sublicense
Sandia Software to third parties seeking the right to use VIGA
Software under reasonable terms and conditions.
-9-
Should VIGA refuse to grant such sublicense(s), Sandia shall consider

Paragraph 7.4.

and licenses under this License Agreement:
(a) the sublicenses of the VIGA Software to VIGA's existing
Sublicensees will survive and continue;

VIGA Software for orders received prior to the effective
date of such termination; and

its Sublicensees of VIGA Software.
7.9 VIGA may terminate the right and license granted under this License
Agreement if Sandia, at any time:

written notice to Sandia of the breach or false statement.

8.1 Both Parties warrant that they have the right to grant the rights and
licenses in Article II.
8.2 Sandia makes no warranty, express or implied, as to the accuracy or
utility of any Sandia Software. Sandia further makes no warranty,

all reasonable expenses and attorney's fees incurred by or imposed on
VIGA in connection therewith) for such loss, damage, injury or other
casualty.
8.4 Sandia shall retain the sole right to bring litigation for
infringement of Sandia Patent Rights or Sandia Software. VIGA shall
promptly bring to Sandia's attention any information of which VIGA is
aware relating to third party infringement of Sandia Patent Rights or
Sandia Software. If Sandia fails to initiate action to resolve such
third party infringement within six (6) months of receiving notice
