Community Data License Agreement - Sharing - Version 1.0
========================================================

This is the Community Data License Agreement - Sharing, Version 1.0 ("Agreement").
Data is provided to You under this Agreement by each of the Data Providers. Your
exercise of any of the rights and permissions granted below constitutes Your acceptance
and agreement to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
The benefits that each Data Provider receives from making Data available and that You
receive from Data or otherwise under these terms and conditions shall be deemed
sufficient consideration for the formation of this Agreement. Accordingly, Data
Provider(s) and You (the "Parties") agree as follows:

Section 1. Definitions
----------------------

1.1 "Add" means to supplement Data with Your own or someone else's Data, resulting in
    Your "Additions." Additions do not include Results.

1.2 "Computational Use" means Your analysis (through the use of computational devices
    or otherwise) or other interpretation of Data. By way of example and not limitation,
    "Computational Use" includes the application of any computational analytical technique,
    the purpose of which is the analysis of any Data in digital form to generate information
    about Data such as patterns, trends, correlations, inferences, insights and attributes.

1.3 "Data" means the information (including copyrightable information, such as images
    or text), collectively or individually, whether created or gathered by a Data Provider or an
    Entity acting on its behalf, to which rights are granted under this Agreement.

1.4 "Data Provider" means any Entity (including any employee or contractor of such
    Entity authorized to Publish Data on behalf of such Entity) that Publishes Data under this
    Agreement prior to Your Receiving it.

1.5 "Enhanced Data" means the subset of Data that You Publish and that is composed of
    (a) Your Additions and/or (b) Modifications to Data You have received under this
    Agreement.

1.6 "Entity" means any natural person or organization that exists under the laws of the
    jurisdiction in which it is organized, together with all other entities that control, are
    controlled by, or are under common control with that entity. For the purposes of this
    definition, "control" means (a) the power, directly or indirectly, to cause the direction or
    management of such entity, whether by contract or otherwise, (b) the ownership of more
    than fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding shares or securities, (c) the beneficial
    ownership of such entity or, (d) the ability to appoint, whether by agreement or right, the
    majority of directors of an Entity.

1.7 "Ledger" means a digital record of Data or grants of rights in Data governed by this
    Agreement, using any technology having functionality to record and store Data or grants,
    contributions, or licenses to Data governed by this Agreement.

1.8 "Modify" means to delete, erase, correct or re-arrange Data, resulting in
    "Modifications." Modifications do not include Results.

1.9 "Publish" means to make all or a subset of Data (including Your Enhanced Data)
    available in any manner which enables its Use, including by providing a copy on physical
    media or remote access. For any form of Entity, that is to make the Data available to any
    individual who is not employed by that Entity or engaged as a contractor or agent to
    perform work on that Entity's behalf. A "Publication" occurs each time You Publish
    Data.

1.10 "Receive" or "Receives" means to have been given access to Data, locally or
    remotely.

1.11 "Results" means the outcomes or outputs that You obtain from Your Computational
    Use of Data. Results shall not include more than a de minimis portion of the Data on
    which the Computational Use is based.

1.12 "Sui Generis Database Rights" means rights, other than copyright, resulting from
    Directive 96/9/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 March 1996 on
    the legal protection of databases, as amended and/or succeeded, as well as other
    equivalent rights anywhere in the world.

1.13 "Use" means using Data (including accessing, copying, studying, reviewing,
    adapting, analyzing, evaluating, or making Computational Use of it), either by machines
    or humans, or a combination of both.

1.14 "You" or "Your" means any Entity that Receives Data under this Agreement.

Section 2. Right and License to Use and to Publish
--------------------------------------------------

2.1 Subject to the conditions set forth in Section 3 of this Agreement, Data Provider(s)
    hereby grant(s) to You a worldwide, non-exclusive, irrevocable (except as provided in
    Section 5) right to: (a) Use Data; and (b) Publish Data.

2.2 To the extent that the Data or the coordination, selection or arrangement of Data is
    protected or protectable under copyright, Sui Generis Database Rights, or other law, Data
    Provider(s) further agree(s) that such Data or coordination, selection or arrangement is
    hereby licensed to You and to anyone else who Receives Data under this Agreement for

 (b) You must cause any Data files containing Enhanced Data to carry prominent
     notices that You have changed those files; and

 (c) If You Publish Data You Receive, You must preserve all credit or attribution
     to the Data Provider(s). Such retained credit or attribution includes any of the

     Data to the extent it is practical to do so.

3.2 You may not restrict or deter the ability of anyone who Receives the Data (a) to

3.3 If You Publish Data You Receive, You must do so under an unmodified form of this
    Agreement and include the text of this Agreement, the name of this Agreement and/or a
    hyperlink or other method reasonably likely to provide a copy of the text of this
    Agreement. You may not modify this Agreement or impose any further restrictions on
    the exercise of the rights granted under this Agreement, including by adding any
    restriction on commercial or non-commercial Use of Data (including Your Enhanced
    Data) or by limiting permitted Use of such Data to any particular platform, technology or
    field of endeavor. Notices that purport to modify this Agreement shall be of no effect.

3.4 You and each Data Provider agree that Enhanced Data shall not be considered a work
    of joint authorship by virtue of its relationship to Data licensed under this Agreement and
    shall not require either any obligation of accounting to or the consent of any Data
    Provider.

3.5 This Agreement imposes no obligations or restrictions on Your Use or Publication of
    Results.

Section 4. Data Provider(s)' Representations
--------------------------------------------

    of such Data does not violate any privacy or confidentiality obligation undertaken by the
    Data Provider.

Section 5. Termination

5.1 All of Your rights under this Agreement will terminate, and Your right to Receive,
    Use or Publish the Data will be revoked or modified if You materially fail to comply with
    the terms and conditions of this Agreement and You do not cure such failure in a
    reasonable period of time after becoming aware of such noncompliance. If Your rights
    under this Agreement terminate, You agree to cease Receipt, Use and Publication of
    Data. However, Your obligations and any rights and permissions granted by You under
    this Agreement relating to Data that You Published prior to such termination will
    continue and survive.

5.2 If You institute litigation against a Data Provider or anyone else who Receives the
    Data (including a cross-claim in a lawsuit) based on the Data, other than a claim asserting
    breach of this Agreement, then any rights previously granted to You to Receive, Use and
    Publish Data under this Agreement will terminate as of the date such litigation is filed.

Section 6. Disclaimer of Warranties and Limitation of Liability
---------------------------------------------------------------

6.1 EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, THE DATA

    CONDITIONS OF TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY OR
    FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

6.2 NEITHER YOU NOR ANY DATA PROVIDERS SHALL HAVE ANY LIABILITY

    WHETHER IN CONTRACT, STRICT LIABILITY, OR TORT (INCLUDING
