Exhibit 2.11: Technical Documentation



The following documentation will be available to each PARTY in accordance to Article 2.11,
including any intermediate or preliminary form of such documentation as available and requested
and agreed upon by the PARTIES. The detailed list of technical documents shall be discussed and
determined by written consent of Management Coordinators.

as for transfer purposes.



MS Office ® software, Adobe Acrobat ®, Adobe Framemaker ® and Lotus Notes ® are the front up
software packages to be used. To ensure sufficient compatibility only English software versions
shall be used for PROJECT work. However each PARTY may support additional software at there own
