                            AND SUBLICENSE AGREEMENT

         This Agreement is between Adobe Systems Incorporated, a Delaware
corporation having its principal place of business at 345 Park Avenue, San Jose,
CA 95110-2704 ("Adobe"), and Peerless Systems Corporation, a Delaware
corporation, having its principal place of business at 2381 Rosecrans Avenue, El
Segundo, CA 90245 ("Peerless"). This Agreement is effective as of July 23, 1999
(the "Effective Date").

         The purpose of this Agreement is to license Adobe PostScript
interpreter software, which Adobe owns, and related software and technologies,
which Adobe has the right to license, to Peerless so that Peerless may (i)
provide certain porting and support services to its OEM Customers, (ii) develop
software development kits, as described in Adobe-Peerless SDK Appendices
attached to this Agreement, for delivery to Peerless' OEM Customers, (iii)
sublicense certain rights to such OEM Customers for use in, or development of,
OEM Customers' Licensed Systems, as described in Licensed System Appendices, and
(iv) have access to the source code versions of core code components of the
Adobe Software ("Adobe Core Source") for the purpose of carrying out development
activities in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. This Agreement does
not authorize Peerless to develop a Licensed System product to be distributed as
a Peerless product.

         Adobe will provide the Adobe PostScript software for a specific
development environment and related materials licensed hereunder under an Adobe
Deliverables Appendix (or materials release form) attached to this Agreement,
which shall describe the category of deliverables and applicable licensing
categories for such deliverables (i.e., Adobe Information, Adobe Support
Information, Adobe Support Source, Adobe Core Source, Other Adobe Software, or
Host Software, as such categories are described below).

         The parties agree that this Agreement is intended to replace in its
entirety (i) PostScript Software Development License and Sublicense Agreement
between Adobe and HDE, Inc. ("HDE") dated Nov. 22, 1999, and subsequently
assigned to Peerless with Adobe's approval, upon the acquisition by Peerless of
HDE ("Assigned HDE PostScript Agreement"), and fully incorporates and replaces
(ii) that certain Amendment No. 1 to said Assigned HDE PostScript Agreement
dated June 14, 2002 and (iii) that certain Amendment No. 2 to said Assigned HDE
PostScript Agreement dated August 24, 2002. Any Adobe Information, including but
not limited to any Adobe Support Information, supplied to HDE under the terms of
the Assigned HDE PostScript Agreement and any derivatives thereof containing any
such Adobe Information in HDE's possession shall be deemed to have been
surrendered and then returned to Peerless subject to the provisions of this
Agreement. The parties agree that the Assigned HDE PostScript Agreement shall
terminate concurrently with the final execution of this Agreement, provided,
however, that any monies which have been earned by Adobe (but unpaid) under the
Assigned HDE PostScript Agreement prior to its termination shall be paid by
Peerless under the terms of said agreement.

Peerless a non-exclusive, non-transferable, royalty-bearing license to further
sublicense the rights enumerated in Paragraph 2.2.1 ("Revised Object License")
through Paragraph 2.2.9 ("Demonstration Program License") below to such OEM
Customers, including the right to create derivative works from the Demonstration
Programs. Such sublicense rights shall be limited to a subset of the Adobe
Information and Adobe Support Information listed in each Peerless-OEM SDK
Appendix and Licensed System Appendix. Peerless shall not grant its OEM
Customers any rights to make modifications to the Adobe Information except as
expressly provided for in Paragraph 2.2.1 ("Revised Object License") through
Paragraph 2.2.7 ("Trademark License") below, and Peerless is prohibited from
sublicensing, disclosing, transferring or providing access to Adobe Core Source
to an OEM Customer under any conditions. However, Peerless is not hereby
precluded from entering into an internal use, site license allowing access to a
subset of Adobe Information on an interim basis pending execution of a relevant
Peerless-OEM Agreement in accordance with the provisions in Paragraph 2.3 ("Use
of Letter of Agreement"). Further, each OEM Customer's right to distribute the
Adobe Information for any particular product under the sublicense rights
described herein is contingent upon the certification of the applicable Licensed
System in accordance with the requirements set forth in Paragraph 5.3 ("Testing
and Certification of Revised Object and Proposed Designated Output Devices")
herein. A failure by Peerless to sublicense rights to Adobe Information in
accordance with the provisions in this Paragraph 2.2 ("Adobe Information
Sublicenses") and Paragraph 6 ("Proprietary Rights and Legends") shall
constitute a material breach by Peerless and Peerless shall be liable to Adobe
for any damages or losses arising out of such non-compliance.

               2.2.1  Revised Object License. With respect to the Revised
Object, the sublicense rights to each OEM Customer shall include and be limited
to the right to (a) use and reproduce (or have reproduced for OEM's sole
benefit) at the Reproduction Site(s) only, and (b) sublicense and distribute,
directly and indirectly through OEM Customer's usual distribution channels,
including distribution through OEM Remarketer Customers, the Revised Object for
use as part of OEM Customer's Licensed System(s).

               2.2.2  Font Programs License. With respect to the Font Programs,
the sublicense rights to each OEM Customer shall include and be limited to the
right to (a) reproduce (or have reproduced for OEM Customer's sole benefit) the
Font Programs at the Reproduction Site(s), (b) distribute the Font Programs,
directly and indirectly through OEM Customer's usual distribution channels,
including distribution through OEM Remarketer Customers, only bundled with the
Revised Object for use with a Licensed System or, in the case of Roman Font
Programs only, bundled with Host Software (e.g., on a CD-ROM containing a
compilation of Adobe Information), if any, solely for use with a PostScript 3
Licensed System, (c) sublicense the Font Programs to End Users for the
reproduction and display of Typefaces on the number of central processing units
("CPUs") and computers specified in Attachment 1 ("Minimum Terms of End User
Agreements") to Exhibit B ("Minimum Terms of Peerless OEM Agreements") or in a
Licensed System Appendix, for use with a single Licensed System (d) use the Font
Programs to

<PAGE>

reproduce and display the Typefaces on Licensed Systems for purposes of test,
evaluation, or demonstration, and (e) use and sublicense each End User to use
the Typeface Trademarks to identify the Font Programs. Peerless' licenses under
this Paragraph, and OEM Customer's sublicense under the Peerless OEM Agreement
will terminate upon termination of the agreement between Adobe and the Trademark
owner, if any, pertaining to such Font Program, at which time Adobe shall have
the right to substitute a Font Program for an equivalent Typeface.

         2.2.3 Host Software License. If provided in the relevant SDK Appendix
or Licensed System Appendix, the sublicense rights to each OEM Customer may
include the right to (a) use, and in the case of Adobe Driver Software, the
right to localize and modify (provided Adobe delivers Peerless a software
development tool expressly intended for such localization or modification and
Peerless, in turn, provides such tool to its OEM Customers) at the Development
Site(s) only, (b) reproduce (or have reproduced for OEM Customer's sole benefit)
at the Reproduction Site(s) only, and (c) sublicense and distribute, directly
and indirectly through OEM Customer's usual distribution channels, including
distribution through OEM Remarketer Customers, the Host Software that is
provided by Adobe to Peerless in object code form, either bundled with a
Licensed System or separately for use with a Licensed System in accordance with
the terms applicable to "Host Software" in Attachment 1 ("Minimum Terms of End
User Agreements") to Exhibit B ("Minimum Terms of Peerless OEM Agreements"). OEM
Customer's license to distribute the Host Software commercially or use it
internally (other than for development or testing) is contingent upon Peerless'
execution of a Licensed System Appendix with its OEM Customer. Peerless will
incur no payment obligations to Adobe for OEM Customer's distribution of the
Host Software provided that such sublicense right to OEM Customer, and OEM
Customer's subsequent distribution is made free of additional charge or at a
price which does not exceed the cost of the media and handling. If Peerless
permits any OEM Customer to distribute the Host Software to an End User, at
additional charge, Peerless and Adobe will negotiate a mutually acceptable
royalty payable to Adobe hereunder.

         2.2.4 End User Documentation License. If Host Software is provided
pursuant to Paragraph 2.2.3 ("Host Software License") above, the sublicense
rights to each OEM Customer (a) shall include the right to reproduce, distribute
and sublicense the End User Documentation, and (b) where applicable and only if
Adobe provides Peerless with the appropriate customization kit(s) or
template(s), and Peerless, in turn, provides such kits and templates to its OEM
Customers, may include the right to localize, modify and reformat the content of
the Licensed System-specific portion of the End User Documentation, and (c) may
include the right to modify the title page and copyright page. Subject to the
modifications allowed in (b) above, OEM Customers shall agree to distribute the
End User Documentation in its entirety as provided to Peerless by Adobe with the
applicable Host Software. Peerless and its OEM Customers agree that it will not
modify or delete any copyright notices or other proprietary notices included in
the End User Documentation as provided to Peerless by Adobe. Except for the
specific licenses granted in this Paragraph, Peerless shall have the same rights
and obligations hereunder with respect to End User Documentation as those for
Host Software provided by Adobe to Peerless in object code form.

         2.2.5 PPD File License. The sublicense rights to each OEM Customer (a)
may include the right to use internally the PPD template provided by Adobe to
create its own PPD Files, and (b) shall include the right to reproduce and
distribute, through its normal distribution

                                       11

<PAGE>

channels, any PPD Files provided by Adobe hereunder solely bundled with Adobe
Driver Software. Peerless shall require it OEM Customers to bundle the
corresponding PPD File with each copy of the Revised Object distributed by such
OEM Customers.

         2.2.6 PostScript Language Specification License. The sublicense rights
to each OEM Customer may include the right to reproduce and distribute the
PostScript Language Specification for use with a Licensed System, provided that
Peerless shall not make such PostScript Language Specification available for
general distribution or resale through the retail trade, either through
Peerless, its OEM Customer, or through either party's publisher. Peerless agrees
that no right is granted herein to reproduce Addison-Wesley's foreign language
versions of the PostScript Language Specification. The sublicense granted herein
shall also include the right of OEM Customer to sublicense its customers
(excluding End Users) to reproduce, in whole or in part, and distribute (but not
the right to modify) the PostScript Language Specification in accordance with
the same terms and conditions imposed on Peerless in this Paragraph.

         2.2.7 Trademark License. The sublicense rights to each OEM Customer
shall include the right to use the Trademarks on Licensed Systems and in OEM
Customer's advertising and printed materials for the Licensed Systems, including
the right to sublicense those same rights to OEM's Remarketer Customers, for
distribution in all countries (except Andorra, Bermuda, India, Israel, Pakistan,
Singapore and the People's Republic of China or in any other jurisdiction where
trademark sublicensing is legally prohibited or not recognized) pursuant to
terms substantially equivalent to those set forth in Exhibit L ("Use of Adobe
Trademarks"). If necessary, Adobe will grant directly to OEM Customers or OEM's
Remarketer Customers a nonexclusive, royalty-free license to use the Trademarks
on Licensed Systems, and in advertising and printed materials for Licensed
Systems, for distribution in Andorra, Bermuda, India, Israel,

     Pakistan, Singapore and the People's Republic of China, or in any other
jurisdiction where trademark sublicensing is legally prohibited or not
recognized, under a written agreement between Adobe and such OEM Customer or OEM
Remarketer Customer.

         2.2.8 Limitation on Sublicensing. In order to protect Adobe's
legitimate interest in its valuable and proprietary intellectual property
embodied in the Adobe Information, Peerless shall have no rights hereunder to
sublicense Adobe Information to suppliers of technology used to produce Clone
Products, including, without limitation, *, who do not integrate the Adobe
Information into printer and/or copier systems and products.

         2.2.9 Demonstration Program License. With respect to the Demonstration
Program and any derivative work thereof, the sublicense rights to each OEM
Customer shall include and be limited to the right to (a) use, modify and create
derivative works with the Demonstration Programs in the development of Revised
Object at a Secondary Development Site only, (b) and reproduce (or have
reproduced for OEM Customer's sole benefit) at the Reproduction Site(s) only,
and (c) sublicense and distribute, directly and indirectly through OEM
Customers' usual distribution channels, including distribution through OEM
Remarketer Customers, the object code form of the Demonstration Program for use

Party Developer under a Development Agreement and in accordance with Paragraph
2.11 ("Third Party Developer"), Third Party Developer shall have the right to
use, modify and create derivative works with such Demonstration Programs in the
development of Revised Object or a Peerless SDK at a Secondary Development Site
only.

     2.3 Use of Letter of Agreement. From time to time as needed, Peerless may
provide its OEM Customer with access to portions of a Peerless SDK on an interim
basis pending execution of a Peerless-OEM Agreement. Such limited access and use
will be permitted under a Letter of Agreement ("LOA") and shall include such
Adobe Information as contained in the applicable Peerless SDK, but excluding any
Adobe Information in source code form (except for the Adobe Header Files) or any
portion of the Adobe Certification Test Suite. The Adobe Header Files may be
supplied under an LOA provided the LOA includes terms substantially similar to
those contained in Exhibit M ("Provisions for Protection of Adobe Header
Files"). The LOA shall contain terms requiring the recipient OEM Customer to
take all reasonable measures to protect Adobe's proprietary rights in the Adobe
Information and to refrain from disclosing to a third party or using the Adobe
Information for any purpose other than to develop Licensed Systems. In addition,
the LOA shall prohibit any manufacturing, distribution or sale of a product
containing any Adobe Information supplied under an LOA until the parties have
entered into a Peerless-OEM Agreement in which such actions may be authorized in
a Licensed System Appendix thereto. Peerless agrees to recover the Adobe
Information in such recipient OEM Customer's possession under an LOA in the
event the parties do not enter into a Peerless-OEM Agreement within a reasonable
timeframe thereafter.

     2.4 Peerless SDK Sublicense. Subject to Peerless' compliance with the terms
of this Agreement, and provided that Peerless has executed a Peerless OEM
Agreement containing each of the minimum terms listed in Exhibit B ("Minimum
Terms of Peerless OEM Agreements") with each OEM Customer receiving Adobe
Information, and further provided that each Peerless SDK shall first be
described and approved in an Adobe-Peerless SDK Appendix prior to delivery to
OEM Customer, Adobe hereby grants to Peerless the right to sublicense the
following rights to its OEM Customers in connection with each Peerless SDK; (a)
to use, modify (solely in accordance with the associated documentation, or at
the direction of Adobe), and link the Adobe Header Files with the Adobe Software
in the development of Revised Object; (b) use, modify and create derivative
works with the Demonstration Programs in the development of Revised Object; (c)
to use the Adobe Development Tools supplied with such Peerless SDK (solely in
accordance with the associated documentation) in the development of Revised
Object: (d) to use the Adobe Certification Test Suite (solely in accordance with
the associated documentation, or at the direction of Peerless or Adobe) to test
Revised Object for conformity with the PostScript Language Specification and
Adobe quality standards; (e) to use such Adobe Information included in and
delivered as part of the Peerless SDK, limited to and in connection with each of
the enumerated sublicenses in Paragraph 2.2.1 ("Revised object License") through
Paragraph 2.2.7 ("Trademark License") and Paragraph 2.2.9 ("Demonstration
Program License") above. OEM Customer's use of the Adobe Information described
above in the creation of Revised Object shall be solely at the OEM Customer's
Development Sites. Peerless shall require as a condition to granting the
sublicensing rights to OEM Customer that the OEM Customer limit the location of
Development Site(s) to countries listed in Exhibit C-1 ("List of Countries Where
Development Sites May Be Located").

                                       13

<PAGE>

     2.5 Distribution of Host Software. Prior to Peerless granting OEM Customers
the right to distribute Host Software in electronic form, Peerless shall get
written permission from Adobe for such electronic distribution, and shall then
ensure that such OEM Customer(s) are obligated to distribute such Host Software
pursuant to an End User Agreement as more fully described in Paragraph 4.5 ("End
User License") of Exhibit B ("Minimum Terms of Peerless OEM Agreements"). If
Peerless is supplied Host Software by Adobe accompanied by an Adobe-supplied End
User license, Peerless shall provide such Adobe-supplied End User license to its
OEM Customer(s) and require each such OEM Customer to retain the End User
license with the applicable Host Software so distributed.

     2.6 Limited Scope of License. Peerless is expressly prohibited from
granting to its OEM Customers any right to use the Adobe Information delivered
hereunder (a) for any purpose not expressly permitted hereunder or (b) in
connection with any other development effort of Peerless, including but not
limited to development under Peerless' Third Party Development and License
Agreement with Adobe dated September 18, 1992 or (c) on more than one CPU or (d)
to control the output from output devices other than Designated Output Devices,
or (e) to generate output for more than one Designated Output Device at a time,
without Adobe's prior written approval and subject to applicable terms,
including additional royalty obligations, as described in an applicable Licensed
System Appendix.

     2.7 Changes to Adobe Software. In view of the desire of Peerless and Adobe
to establish and maintain an industry standard PostScript interpreter, Peerless
shall not make or permit its OEM Customers to make without the express written
permission of Adobe, any changes or additions to, enhancements in, or deletions
from, the Adobe Software, if such changes or enhancements would in any way
change the PostScript language imaging model, syntax, semantics, or
functionality of the PostScript language.

     2.8 Protection Mechanisms. Peerless shall, and require its OEM Customers
to, employ copy protection, serialization, encryption or any other protection
mechanism as may be specified in the applicable LSA or SDK Appendix to restrict
or monitor unauthorized use of Adobe Software, Other Adobe Software and Font
Programs licensed hereunder ("Protected Software"). The protection mechanism for
Font Programs for Japanese, Korean and Chinese Typefaces will normally be
provided by Adobe and may include encryption as well as Copy Protection. "Copy
Protection" shall mean a mechanism that ensures that the applicable Licensed
System or Peerless SDK will implement a unique read-only PostScript Language
LicenseID parameter to which each font configuration will be keyed. If the
protection mechanism is supplied by Adobe or its supplier, Peerless will use all
reasonable means to ensure that such protection mechanism is not removed,
subverted or disabled. In the event that it comes to Adobe's attention that any
protection mechanism distributed by OEM Customer hereunder has been violated and
Adobe reasonably believes that there is unlicensed use of the Protected Software
caused by such violation, Peerless will, and require its OEM Customer to, supply
a new protection mechanism within thirty (30) days of notification by Adobe. If
Adobe can demonstrate that such corrective action is unsuccessful in resolving
the problem, Peerless will, and will require its OEM Customers to take other
action as required by Adobe, including stopping shipment of the Protected
Software, until corrective measures are successfully implemented. If the OEM
Customer's Licensed System is located in a network environment with Protected
Software located on a server, Peerless shall require its OEM Customers to employ

                                       14

<PAGE>

a protection mechanism which permits End Users access to Protected Software only
if such use is permitted in the license purchased by the End User from OEM
Customer.

     2.9  LZW Patent Notice. Peerless shall include a notice that the Adobe
Information includes an implementation of LZW licensed under U.S. Patent
4,558,302. This notice must be displayed, in a location which is reasonably
visible to the OEM Customer, on any relevant OEM Customer documentation
accompanying such OEM Customer deliverable.

     2.10 Subsidiaries. Subsidiaries of Peerless who have entered into a written
agreement with Peerless agreeing to be bound by the terms and conditions of this
Agreement may exercise the licenses granted to Peerless hereunder, provided,
however, that Peerless shall guarantee the performance of obligations of the
Subsidiaries, and a breach of the terms and conditions of this Agreement by a
Subsidiary shall be deemed a breach by Peerless. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Peerless agrees to make all payments due Adobe under the terms of this
Agreement, including royalties and other fees payable to Adobe hereunder whether
or not resulting from the exercise by Subsidiaries or Peerless of the rights
granted to Peerless hereunder.

     2.11 Third Party Developers. Peerless may use the services of a Third Party
Developer to perform development work on behalf of Peerless or for a Peerless
OEM Customer under this Agreement and may allow such Third Party Developer to
have access (as set forth in Paragraph 2.1 ("Development License") to Adobe
Support Information (except for Adobe Core Source) for the sole purpose of
carrying out such work on Peerless' behalf or for an OEM Customer, but only if
Adobe, in its sole discretion, agrees in writing to permit the use of such third
party as a Third Party Developer. Adobe agrees to respond to such request for
approval of such proposed Third Party Developer within a reasonable period after
receipt thereof. If Adobe grants such approval, and prior to the delivery of the
Adobe Support Information to a Third Party Developer to commence such
development work, Peerless shall enter into a written agreement with each Third
Party Developer containing terms at least as restrictive as those set forth in
Exhibit P ("Third Party Developer Terms") (the "Development Agreement").
Peerless may permit a Third Party Developer to use the Adobe Support Information
and to modify and prepare derivative works based upon the source code versions
of the Adobe Support Information supplied to Third Party Developer solely to
carry out the development work covered by the Development Agreement and for
fulfilling the purposes of this Agreement. Peerless shall use best efforts to
ensure that all copyright, patent and other rights in the modifications
(including localizations) made by a Third Party Developer to the Adobe Support
Information are assigned to Peerless. Peerless shall not permit a Third Party
Developer to have access to any Adobe Core Source. Peerless shall ensure that
the Third Party Developer does not have any right to license, sublicense,
transfer or otherwise grant such OEM Customer or any third party any right in
the Adobe Support Information, including, but not limited to, the right to
distribute a product that includes any portion of the Adobe Support Information
or the right to have access to or use of the Adobe Support Information. Only
Peerless may grant such rights to its OEM Customers and only under the terms of
a Peerless OEM Agreement meeting the requirements set forth in this Agreement. A
failure by Peerless to enter into a written agreement with each Third Party
Developer containing the requirements set forth in Exhibit P ("Third Party
Developer Terms") or to fulfill any other requirement set forth in this
Paragraph 2.11 shall constitute a material breach by Peerless of the terms and
conditions of this Agreement and Peerless shall be liable to Adobe for any
damages or losses arising out of such non-compliance. Should Peerless become

                                       15

<PAGE>

aware of any breach by a Third Party Developer of the Development Agreement,
Peerless shall enforce the terms and conditions of such Development Agreement
against such Third Party Developer. Peerless will provide notice to Adobe of any
such breach and will provide any cooperation and assistance that Adobe may
reasonably require in enforcing Adobe's rights under the Development Agreement
between Peerless and the Third Party Developer. Upon request by Adobe, and
subject to any confidentiality requirements provided in the Development
Agreement, Peerless shall supply Adobe with a copy of the Development Agreement
between Adobe and such Third Party Developer.

     2.12 Utilization of a Project Manager Assigned by Peerless. Peerless shall
assign an Authorized Employee of Peerless to act as a Project Manager for each
specific development undertaken by Third Party Developer under a Development
Agreement. The responsibilities of such Project Manager will include reviewing
and auditing activities at the applicable Development Site to reasonably
determine that the Third Party Developer is complying with the terms of the
Development Agreement.

3.   SCOPE OF ADOBE'S LICENSES.

     3.1 License to Peerless Modifications. Peerless shall provide to Adobe,
both in source and object code form, any modifications to the Adobe Software
made by Peerless or Third Party Developer which constitute non-trivial
corrections to errors in the Adobe Software. Peerless, at its option, may
supply, either in object code form only or in both source and object code form,
other modifications to the Adobe Software and any modifications to the other
Adobe Information made by Peerless hereunder or by Third Party Developer under a
Development Agreement or by its OEM Customer pursuant to a Peerless OEM
Agreement. For any modifications to Adobe Information which Peerless supplies to
Adobe in source code form, including, but not limited to, any modifications made
by Peerless, its Third Party Developers or its OEM Customers to the Adobe Header
Files, and for any localizations created by Peerless or its Third Party
Developers under an applicable Development Agreement or its OEM Customers
pursuant to the licenses hereunder, Peerless and its OEM Customers shall be
deemed to have granted to Adobe a non-exclusive, perpetual, worldwide,
royalty-free, fully paid-up license to use, modify, reproduce and distribute
such source code, and any object code versions thereof, and any localizations,
and the right to sublicense all such licensed rights through multiple tiers of
distribution. Subject to any limitations or prohibitions in Adobe's contracts
with its third party vendors, Peerless, or its OEM Customers, as applicable,
shall own all modifications (including localizations) made by Peerless (or for
Peerless by a Third Party Developer) or its OEM Customers pursuant to the
licenses hereunder to the Adobe Software, Other Adobe Software, Host Software
and Demonstration Programs, provided that any such modifications or
localizations shall be deemed to be derivative works based upon the underlying
Adobe Information and shall be subject to all provisions of this Agreement
applicable to such underlying Adobe Information. Except as explicitly stated
herein, Adobe shall own any other modifications to the Adobe Information. If
Peerless with the prior written approval of Adobe makes modifications to the
Adobe Core Source, Adobe shall own all rights and interest in such modifications
and Peerless agrees to assign to Adobe all copyright, patent and other rights
contained in such modifications. Adobe shall have no rights to any modifications
made to the interface to the software components supplied by Peerless provided
that such interfaces are not

                                       16

<PAGE>

also part of the Standard Reference Port or CPSI Platform deliverables provided
by Adobe hereunder.

     3.2 PPD File License. Peerless hereby grants to Adobe, and shall require
its OEM Customers to grant to Adobe, a perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free, fully
paid-up license, and the right to sublicense all such licensed rights through
multiple tiers of distribution to use, reproduce, modify and distribute any PPD
Files, and any updates thereto, which Peerless, or its OEM Customers, create for
each Licensed System.

4.   ADOBE DELIVERABLES.

     4.1 Adobe Information. Adobe will provide to Peerless the Adobe Information
specified in a fully executed Adobe Deliverables Appendix in accordance with the
schedule set forth therein. The Adobe Information to be supplied to Peerless
under an Appendix shall be a standard version of a Reference Port running on an
Adobe-specified development environment that Adobe has packaged as a standard
set of deliverables for licensing generally to its OEM customers (hereinafter
"Standard Reference Port"). The term "Standard Reference Port" shall also refer
to the delivery by Adobe of a CPSI Platform to Peerless hereunder. Adobe is
delivering the "3011 version" of the Reference Port under Adobe Deliverables
Appendix No. 1 so the "3011 version" is a Standard Reference Port. A significant
revision to a Standard Reference Port, for example revising and upgrading "3011
to 3015" functionality would constitute a Standard Reference Port when Adobe
makes such version generally available to its OEM customers. Adobe will supply
Peerless with such Standard Reference Port upon execution of a separate Appendix
or, in the case of a CPSI Platform, Adobe will supply Peerless with the standard
set of deliverables for the CPSI Platform via the Adobe website (known as
"Xchange"). Peerless shall be deemed to have accepted the Standard Reference
Port and associated Adobe Information * following its delivery to Peerless,
unless Peerless rejects the Standard Reference Port and associated Adobe
Information in writing within such * period. Peerless' sole and exclusive remedy
for rejection of the Standard Reference Port or any other Adobe Information is
to return it to Adobe within * of Peerless' receipt thereof. The licensing terms
of this Agreement will terminate with respect to any rejected component of the
Adobe Information upon its return to Adobe. Unless expressly agreed to in
writing, Adobe is not obligated to supply Peerless with any version or revision
of the Adobe Software unless Adobe has elected to make such version or revision
generally available to its OEM customers as a then Standard Reference Port.

     4.2 Maintenance for Standard Reference Port(s). For each Standard Reference
Port and associated Adobe Information and for each CPSI Platform that is
supplied to Peerless hereunder, Adobe shall provide the maintenance described in
Exhibit K ("Maintenance for Standard Reference Port(s)") and Exhibit K-1 ("CPSI
Continuing Support"), respectively, for which Peerless shall pay the amount, as
specified or as otherwise * in Paragraph 8.1 of the Agreement, in accordance
with Paragraph 2 ("Maintenance Fees for Standard Reference Port(s)") of Exhibit
O ("Royalty Payments and Other Fees") below. Adobe shall provide maintenance
only for the "3011 version" of the Reference Port initially, and for any other
Standard Reference Port or CPSI Platform which Adobe may supply to Peerless
hereunder in the future. Adobe may choose to discontinue supplying Maintenance
for such Standard Reference Port and associated Adobe Information or CPSI
Platform supplied to Peerless hereunder but only after giving Peerless written
notice at least * before it ceases supporting the applicable Standard

Reference Port and associated Adobe Information or CPSI Platform. Unless
expressly agreed to in writing, Adobe shall have no obligation to provide
maintenance as set forth herein for any version or revision of the Adobe
Software that is not part of a then Standard Reference Port or CPSI Platform.

     4.3 Support for Custom Version of Adobe Software. The Adobe Software to be
delivered to Peerless hereunder is the Adobe Software contained in a Standard
Reference Port. Peerless is responsible for modifying the Adobe Software to run
in other development environments and for the purpose of integrating the Adobe
Software as part of custom development that Peerless may undertake from time to
time on behalf of its OEM Customers under the terms of the Agreement ("Custom
Versions"). Peerless acknowledges that it is solely responsible for providing
maintenance and support for Custom Version(s) of the Adobe Software. Any
maintenance and support which Adobe agrees to provide for a Custom Version shall
be subject to terms to be agreed upon by the parties in writing including
payment by Peerless of an agreed upon maintenance fee. Any such maintenance
which Adobe agrees to provide for a Custom Version is conditioned upon Peerless
being able to reproduce the defect in the Custom Version in a mutually agreed
upon development environment.

5.   DEVELOPMENT, TESTING AND CERTIFICATION.

     5.1 Peerless Development Responsibilities. Peerless shall be responsible
for modifying the Adobe Support Information or shall authorize a Third Party
Developer to modify the Adobe Support Information in accordance with Paragraph
2.11 ("Third Party Developers") and to the extent permitted by Paragraph 2.1
("Development License") above to (a) create Peerless SDKs suitable for use by
its OEM Customers, and (b) assist its OEM Customers in the creation of Licensed
Systems suitable for distribution to End Users. Peerless shall promptly include
in Peerless SDKs, and provide its OEM Customers for inclusion in Licensed
Systems, any Updates Peerless receives pursuant to Exhibit K ("Maintenance for
Standard Reference Port(s)") or Exhibit K-1 ("CPSI Continuing Support").
Peerless shall take all reasonable measures to ensure that all Updates are
implemented by its OEM Customers in the relevant Licensed System; provided
however, that implementation of an Update may be delayed when the Licensed
System (i) is already certified and shipping at the time of the Update in which
case the Update shall be implemented when commercially feasible, or (ii) is
undergoing development at the time of delivery of an Update and OEM Customer
with the consent of Adobe elects not to incorporate such Update. In addition,
Peerless, or its OEM Customer shall be responsible for creating the PPD File for
each Licensed System prior to Adobe's certification or testing of the Revised
Object pursuant to Exhibit F ("Licensed System Test Procedures"), and providing
to Adobe any updated version of a PPD File in a timely manner following the
availability of any updated version. Peerless shall be responsible for
delivering each such PPD File to Adobe. Adobe's sole responsibility in
connection with the above shall be to provide to Peerless the maintenance
described in Exhibit K ("Maintenance for Standard Reference Port(s)") for
Standard Reference Port(s) and Exhibit K-1 ("CPSI Continuing Support") for CPSI
Platforms hereto, subject to payment * of maintenance fees under Paragraph 8.1
("License and Maintenance Fees"). If Peerless requests custom development from
Adobe (i.e., a version of the Adobe Software that is not then a current offering
of Adobe), Adobe and Peerless will discuss proposed business terms of this
custom development, including, without limitation, the scope of work, technical
specifications, milestone schedule and pricing. Peerless and Adobe agree to

request, Peerless agrees to provide Adobe with copies of all marketing materials
related to such Peerless SDK or Adobe PostScript printer solution. Adobe shall
have fifteen (15) days from receipt of such materials to review and approve such
materials. In the event that Adobe does not provide Peerless with comments to
such materials within such fifteen (15) day period, Adobe will be deemed to have
approved such materials.

     7.3  Clone Products.

          7.3.1 Clone Product Development. Peerless acknowledges and agrees that
the sublicense rights to Peerless described herein, and the pricing set forth in
this Agreement are granted by Adobe on the basis of Peerless' assurances that as
of the date of final execution of this Agreement Peerless (i) does not own or
license Clone Product technology from a third party, (ii) is not engaged in any
Clone Product development and (iii) does not market or license Clone Products or
Clone Product technology. "Clone Product development " is defined herein to mean
having engineers working on or deployed in creating specifications,
documentation or software code for components of a Clone Product or having
access to source code materials for Clone Product technology of a third party
whether by license or other means. Peerless shall ensure that (i) each
Authorized Employee and Authorized Contractor with access to Adobe Support
Information (other than Adobe Core Source) is precluded from being employed in
any Clone Product development (either internally or externally) by or for
Peerless for a period of * after such latest access and (ii) each Authorized
Employee with access to Adobe Support Information (including Adobe Core Source)
is precluded from being employed in any Clone Product development (either

          7.3.2  Engineering Services - Porting of Clone Products. Peerless
from time to time may be asked to supply engineering services to help an OEM
Customer develop a Clone Product using the OEM Customer's existing Clone Product
technology and Peerless is free to carry out such services without causing the
provisions in Paragraph 7.3.1 ("Clone Product Development") to apply, provided
that Peerless and its OEM Customers adhere to all of the following conditions: *

                 7.3.2.1 *

                 7.3.2.2 *

                 7.3.2.3 *

          7.3.2.4 Peerless agrees that each such proposed engineering project is
to be treated as a separate port of a Clone Product and therefore Peerless shall
adhere to the requirements in this Paragraph on each such product-specific
porting activity.

          7.3.2.5 Peerless agrees that any press release or publication
concerning the engineering porting activities described above, will not make
reference to Clone technology ported as part of the engineering services.

          7.3.3  No Exploitation of the Adobe Name. With respect to any Clone
Products which Peerless develops or markets, Peerless agrees that Peerless will
not exploit its access to the Adobe Information, its relationship with Adobe, or
the existence in its product line or in the product line of its OEM Customers of
products containing Adobe PostScript software to promote or legitimize Clone
Products. Furthermore, Peerless agrees to use best efforts to distinguish its
Adobe PostScript-enabled products from Clone Products when displaying or
referring to its products in advertisements, catalogs, brochures and at trade
shows by (a) identifying such products prominently and exclusively with the
Adobe PostScript logo in such proximity that the viewer is unlikely to associate
the PostScript logo or any Adobe Trademark with the Clone Products, and (b) not
associating the Adobe Trademarks with any Clone Product in advertising, press
releases, and other promotional and marketing materials.

8.   PAYMENTS.

     8.1  License and Maintenance Fees. Except as otherwise provided below,
Peerless shall pay to Adobe in U.S. Dollars the license fees for the Adobe
Information, as specified in the applicable Adobe Deliverables Appendix, and the
annual maintenance fees to cover maintenance services ("Maintenance") for the
relevant Reference Port and for a CPSI Platform, as described in Exhibit K
("Maintenance for Standard Reference Port(s)") and Exhibit K-1 ("CPSI Continuing
Support"), respectively, hereto. The license fees * for each of the Reference
Port(s) or CPSI Platform(s) delivered to Peerless hereunder * for the applicable
calendar period. In the event that annual aggregate payments to Adobe for that
calendar year are less than such minimum amount, Peerless is obligated to pay
Adobe the applicable annual maintenance fees, as specified in Paragraph 2
(Maintenance Fees for Standard Reference Port(s)") of Exhibit O ("Royalty
Payments and Other Fees"), *. Notwithstanding that maintenance fees *, Peerless
shall reimburse Adobe for any out of pocket costs that have been incurred by
Adobe in providing Maintenance support to Peerless hereunder.

     8.2  Royalties for Distribution of Peerless SDKs. Peerless shall pay to
Adobe in U.S. Dollars the SDK royalties set forth in Paragraph 1 ("Peerless SDK
Royalties") of Exhibit O ("Royalty Payments and Other Fees") attached hereto,
* the royalties set forth in the applicable Peerless-OEM SDK Appendix and
documented in the

<PAGE>

transmittal form for the SDK Appendix which Adobe has formally executed, for
each Peerless SDK distributed to, or used by each OEM Customer (on a per
Development Site basis).

     8.3  Royalties for Royalty-Bearing Components of Licensed Systems.
Peerless shall pay to Adobe in U.S. Dollars the royalties set forth in Paragraph
3 ("Licensed System Royalties") of Exhibit O ("Royalty Payments and Other Fees")
attached hereto, *, the royalties set forth in the transmittal form for the
applicable Licensed System Appendix, which Adobe has formally executed, for each
royalty-bearing component of a Licensed System which is used internally or
distributed by an OEM Customer directly or through its OEM Remarketer Customers.
The terms "Suggested Retail Price" (or "SRP") and "Gross Receipts" used to
calculate the royalties due to Adobe hereunder are defined as follows:

          (a)  "SRP" shall mean the OEM Customer's suggested retail price for
one (1) fully functioning Licensed System (or other component(s) as designated
in a Licensed System Appendix). The SRP for a Roman Version of a Licensed System
(that is, a Licensed System containing only Roman Font Programs) distributed in
the United States shall be used for calculating the Licensed System royalties
for Roman Versions of Licensed Systems and the per Typeface royalties for Font
Programs under the applicable royalty provisions in Exhibit O ("Royalty Payments
and Other Fees"). In the event there is no available SRP for the Licensed System
in the United States, Peerless and Adobe shall agree on election of a SRP in
another country to be used as a reasonable alternative. For distribution of
Licensed Systems in countries other than the United States that require the
bundling of non-Roman Font Programs (for example, distribution of a Japanese
Version in Japan), the SRP for a Licensed System in such relevant country shall
be used for calculating the Licensed System royalties and the per Typeface
royalties under the applicable royalty provisions in Exhibit O ("Royalty
Payments and Other Fees"). Peerless shall provide Adobe with the applicable SRP
for a Licensed System documented in the corresponding Licensed System Appendix
and/or accompanying letter of transmittal. The relevant SRP shall be converted
into U.S. Dollars at a rate that Peerless ensures will reasonably reflect the
current exchange rate for the applicable currency being converted for the
applicable accounting period.

          (b)  "Gross Receipts" shall mean the amounts earned by Peerless in the
form of fees and royalties denominated in U.S. dollars and payable by an OEM
Customer (without reduction for withholding of taxes) for a Licensed System or
other royalty-bearing components of a Licensed System distributed or used by
such OEM Customer. Excluded from this definition are monies earned by Peerless
for engineering services rendered to an OEM Customer as well as those amounts
reasonably attributable to the use by an OEM Customer of components contained in
a Licensed System that are supplied by Peerless, but are not PostScript
technology-related; for example PeerlessPage, PeerlessPrint. When such amount
reflects an indivisible amount for the PostScript-enabled components and other
product components, only the prorata portion attributable to the
PostScript-enabled components, as reasonably determined by Peerless and Adobe,
shall constitute "Gross Receipts" for purposes of calculating the royalties due
to Adobe hereunder.

     8.4  Software Upgrade Royalties. Peerless shall pay Adobe the royalties
set forth in Paragraph 7 ("Software Upgrade Royalties") of Exhibit O ("Royalty
Payments and Other Fees") attached hereto, or if special pricing applies, the
royalty as set forth in the transmittal form

<PAGE>

for the applicable Licensed System Appendix, which Adobe had formally executed,
for each Software Upgrade used internally or distributed by OEM Customer, except
as provided herein. Peerless shall not be obligated to pay Adobe a royalty for
any Software Upgrade if the fee charged to the End User covers only the costs of
the media and handling, provided that Peerless ensures that its OEM Customer
uses commercially reasonable efforts to destroy the replaced version of the
Revised Object and Font Programs. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) Adobe may,
in its sole discretion, determine that a particular Software Upgrade shall be
royalty bearing (e.g., if the Software Upgrade adds significant functionality),
in which case such royalty shall be as specified in the transmittal form for the
applicable Licensed System Appendix, which Adobe has formally executed, and (b)
Peerless shall pay an additional Licensed System and Font Program royalty for
any Software Upgrade where Peerless and its OEM Customer does not use
commercially reasonable efforts to destroy the existing Revised Object and Font
Programs.

     8.5  Hardware Upgrade Royalties. Peerless shall pay Adobe the royalties
set forth in Paragraph 8 ("Hardware Upgrade Royalties") of Exhibit O ("Royalty
Payments and Other Fees") attached hereto, or if special pricing applies, the
royalty as set forth in the transmittal form for the Licensed System Appendix,
which Adobe has formally executed, for each Hardware Upgrade, unless Adobe
agrees in writing that such Hardware Upgrade is non-royalty bearing. Adobe
intends that an optional feature shall be royalty bearing if it improves the
functional performance or improves the throughput performance of the Revised
Object and/or Font Programs, and non-royalty bearing if it is unrelated to the
functional performance or throughput performance of the Revised Object and/or
Font Programs.

     8.6  No Peerless Minimum Annual Royalty Commitment. Except for the minimum
per unit royalties set forth in Exhibit O ("Royalty Payments and Other Fees")
and the sharing arrangement described below, there are no minimum royalties
payable by Peerless hereunder. In the event Peerless negotiates guaranteed
minimum royalties or fees from its OEM Customers for Adobe PostScript-enabled
products and such guarantees result in payments to Peerless equal to the
difference between amounts earned from such actual product distribution (such
amounts being the basis on which Peerless calculates the applicable royalties
owed to Adobe hereunder) and the guaranteed amount, Peerless shall pay Adobe an
additional amount equal to * of the guaranteed amount. If the guaranteed amount
reflects an indivisible amount for the PostScript-enabled components and other
product components, Adobe's share shall be based on a prorata portion of such
indivisible amount as determined by the retail prices of the individual
components.

     8.7  Additional Licensed System Payments. Peerless shall pay Adobe any
additional fees, including but not limited to non-recurring engineering fees, if
any, as designated in an applicable appendix.

     8.8  Testing Fees. For the Peerless testing required pursuant to Paragraph
5.3 ("Testing and Certification of Revised Object and Proposed Designated Output
Devices") herein, Peerless shall * for Adobe's first review of Peerless' test
results if Adobe certifies the Revised Object or proposed Designated Output
Device Class solely on the basis of this initial review. However, if the Revised
Object or proposed Designated Output Device Class requires retesting and
resubmission of test results to Adobe, Peerless shall pay Adobe a fee of * for
each such instance of retesting and resubmission. Adobe may charge a testing fee
to cover Adobe's testing

of any upgrade to an existing Peerless SDK or Licensed System if such upgrade
requires Peerless to modify the previously-certified version of the Revised
Object. Peerless shall * for any instance of retesting made necessary by Adobe's
change to the Adobe Software, Other Adobe Software or Adobe Certification Test
Suite. In addition, there will be * for retesting if Peerless can show that the
Revised Object or proposed Designated Output Device, when initially tested by
Peerless with the appropriate Designated Output Device Class, satisfied the
specified tests in the Adobe Certification Test Suite.

     8.9  Taxes. In addition to any other payments due under this Agreement,
Peerless agrees to pay, and to indemnify and hold Adobe harmless from, any
sales, use, excise, import or export, value added or similar tax or duty not
based on Adobe's net income, including any penalties and interest, as well as
any costs associated with the collection or withholding thereof, and all
governmental permit fees, license fees and customs and similar fees levied upon
the delivery by Adobe of the Adobe Information or the delivery by Peerless of
Adobe Information to an OEM Customer hereunder, which Adobe may incur in respect
of this Agreement. If a resale certificate or other certificate or document of
exemption is required in order to exempt all or any of the Adobe Information
from any such tax liability, Peerless will promptly furnish it to Adobe. All
withholding tax certificates, documents, application forms, etc., should be
forwarded to the following address, or such other address as provided by Adobe:
Adobe Systems Incorporated, Attention: Tax Department, 345 Park Avenue, San
Jose, California, 95110-2704.

     8.10 Payment Terms. All royalties due in accordance with the terms of the
Agreement shall be paid in U.S. Dollars within * days after the *. Peerless will
provide Adobe with the relevant product sales information, as supplied by its
OEM Customer, at least on a quarterly basis and with at least as much product
and country detail as made available to Peerless. Such sales information shall
include the following: (a) with each Peerless SDK royalty payment Peerless shall
include a legible written summary broken out by OEM Customer and applicable
Development Site(s), as well as the number, SDK identification, and royalty due
Adobe for each Peerless SDK distributed or being used by its OEM Customers
during the quarter, and any other information which may be required to allow
Adobe to determine whether Peerless is paying the correct Peerless SDK royalty
amounts hereunder; and (b) with each Licensed System royalty payment Peerless
shall include a legible written summary broken out by OEM Customer, of (i) the
number, model name, SRP, and royalty due Adobe for each Licensed System for
which Revised Object is distributed or used internally by Peerless' OEM
Customers during the quarter, (ii) the number of copies of Host Software
distributed or used internally by such OEM Customers during the quarter, (iii)
the number of Font Programs by Typeface, bundled with the Revised Object for use
as a part of a Licensed System and licensed to End Users or used internally by
OEM Customers during the quarter, and (iv) any other information, including but
not limited to Gross Receipts, which may be required to allow Adobe to determine
whether Peerless is paying the correct royalty amount hereunder. In addition,
Peerless shall provide Adobe with a rolling quarterly forecast of royalties
anticipated to be earned by Peerless from sales of Licensed Systems and other
royalty-bearing components during such period. Peerless shall provide Adobe with
a written update to the forecast on a monthly basis to reflect Peerless' then
best estimate of the number of royalty-bearing products and anticipated
royalties to be earned by Peerless during this period. Such written
communication shall be subject to final adjustment by Peerless at the end of
each accounting period.

     8.11 Right of Audit. Peerless shall maintain, and other than information
regarding Adobe royalties, require each of its OEM Customers to maintain, a
complete, clear, accurate record of: (a) the number, model name, SRP and royalty
due Adobe for each Licensed System and/or Peerless SDK for which Revised Object
is distributed to or is being used by each OEM Customer during the quarter, (b)
the number of copies of Host Software distributed by such OEM Customers for use
with Licensed Systems during the quarter, (c) the number of Font Programs by
Typeface, bundled with the Revised Object for use as a part of a Licensed System
and licensed to End Users or used internally by such OEM Customers during the
quarter, and (d) any other information which may be required to allow Adobe to
determine whether Peerless is paying the correct royalty amount hereunder. To
ensure compliance with the terms of this Agreement, Adobe shall have the right
to audit all the relevant accounting and sales books and records of Peerless.
Such audit shall be conducted by an independent auditor paid for by Adobe and
acceptable to both parties (with auditors included in the "Big Five" being
hereby deemed acceptable). Such audit shall be conducted during regular business
hours at Peerless' offices and in such a manner as not to interfere with
Peerless' normal business activities. In no event shall audits be made hereunder
more frequently than once per year. If such inspections should disclose any
underreporting, Peerless shall promptly pay Adobe such amount. In addition, if
such inspections should disclose any underreporting of payments owed Adobe (as
determined by such inspections) in an amount greater than five percent (5%),
then Peerless shall promptly pay Adobe any and all costs associated with the
audit.

     8.12 When Royalties Earned. Each royalty due hereunder for any Peerless SDK
shall be earned on each occurrence of (a) Peerless' distribution of such
Peerless SDK to an OEM Customer for use at the initial Development Site, and (b)
such OEM Customer's use of such Peerless SDK at any additional OEM Customer
Development Site. Each royalty due hereunder for any royalty-bearing component
of a Licensed System shall be earned on the earlier of (a) OEM Customer's
distribution of such royalty-bearing component to a third party or (b) otherwise
as may be agreed upon between Peerless and its OEM Customer as specified in a
Licensed System Appendix and documented in the transmittal form for the Licensed
System Appendix, which Adobe has formally executed. With respect to guaranties,
as described in Paragraph 8.6 ("No Peerless Minimum Annual Royalty Commitment"),
such amounts shall be earned when payment is made to Peerless by its OEM
Customer.

     8.13 No Third Party Peerless Payments. Peerless acknowledges and agrees

12.  TERM AND TERMINATION.

     12.1 Term. The initial term of this Agreement shall commence on the
Effective Date and expire thirty-six (36) months thereafter, unless this
Agreement is earlier terminated for cause or upon earlier termination in the
event the length of the term is shortened due to an accelerated expiration date
in accordance with Paragraph 12.4 ("Accelerated Expiration of Term"). At the end
of the initial term of thirty-six (36) months, this Agreement will automatically
be renewed for an additional * year period unless one party gives the other
party at least sixty (60) days advance written notice of its intention to allow
the Agreement to terminate. After the initial * year extension, this Agreement
may be renewed only upon the written mutual agreement of the parties.

     12.2 Termination by Peerless for Cause. If any material breach of this
Agreement by Adobe continues after thirty (30) days written notice of said
breach by Peerless to Adobe, Peerless may (a) continue this Agreement in full
force and effect and seek any damages arising under this Agreement or (b)
terminate this Agreement on written notice to Adobe.

     12.3 Termination by Adobe for Cause. This Agreement and all licenses
granted herein shall terminate effective immediately (except as otherwise
provided below) in the event that any material breach of this Agreement by
Peerless continues after thirty (30) days written notice of said breach by Adobe
to Peerless (which notice shall, in reasonable detail, specify the nature of
said breach). In the event of such termination for cause, and contingent upon
Peerless having fully performed its obligations to pay Adobe all monies earned
by Adobe hereunder to that date, Peerless' rights under Paragraph 2.2 ("Adobe
Information Sublicenses") with respect to sublicensing the use of Adobe
Information to an OEM Customer under an existing Peerless OEM Agreement shall
continue to the extent required to allow the OEM Customer to continue shipping
already certified Licensed System products for the commercial life of such
Licensed Systems. After termination for cause, Peerless may not continue to
develop or allow its OEM Customers to continue developing new Licensed System
products. In addition, Peerless shall immediately cease using and shall require
its OEM Customers to immediately cease using any portion of the Adobe Support
Information in source code form, the Adobe Header Files or the Adobe
Certification Test Suite. Within thirty (30) days of termination for cause,
Peerless shall return or destroy and shall require each of its OEM Customers to
return or destroy all such Adobe Support Information in its possession.
Peerless' obligations under this Agreement shall continue in full force and
effect after termination for cause. The rights that survive termination for
cause for the limited purpose specified herein shall immediately terminate (a)
in the event of a failure by Peerless to pay any monies due and payable to Adobe
hereunder, or (b) with respect to the continuing right to sublicensing use of
the Adobe Information to a particular OEM Customer, at such time as that OEM
Customer ceases distributing all of its Licensed System products or sooner in
case of material breach by that OEM Customer, as described in Paragraph 12.7
("Obligation to Terminate an OEM Customer's Sublicensing Rights"). In the event
such sublicensing rights have terminated, pursuant to either of the conditions
described in (a) or (b) above, Peerless shall take all reasonable measures to
ensure that the OEM Customer(s) ceases all further use of and returns or
destroys all Adobe Information in its possession, and continues to protect the
Adobe Information in accordance with the provisions in Paragraph 12.9
("Obligations on Termination or Expiration"). Peerless shall require that OEM
Customer provide to Peerless within thirty (30) days of termination a
certificate in writing acknowledging

that OEM Customer has complied with its obligations to return or destroy all
Adobe Information in its possession.

     12.4 Accelerated Expiration of Term. The term of this Agreement will be
automatically reset for * from the date Peerless provides Adobe with a written
notice as required in Paragraph 7.3.1 ("Clone Product Development"). At the end
of such * period, Peerless' rights shall terminate except as otherwise specified
in this Paragraph. Peerless may continue to sublicense the use of Adobe
Information to its OEM Customers, pursuant to Paragraph 2.2 ("Adobe Information
Sublicenses"), for the purpose of completing the development of new Licensed
System products provided that all such products have been certified and begin
First Commercial Shipment by no later than ninety (90) days following the
termination of the * accelerated term. Peerless' rights under this Agreement
with respect to permitting its OEM Customers to distribute Licensed System
products shall continue for the commercial life of such products, provided that
only those Licensed System products which meet the First Commercial Shipment
date specified above shall be covered. In the event of such accelerated
expiration, Peerless' obligations under this Agreement, including but not
limited to its obligation to maintain and support existing Licensed Systems, and
make royalty and other payments to Adobe with regard to such Licensed Systems,
shall continue in full force and effect. Peerless shall provide for automatic
termination of the OEM Customer's sublicensing rights to the Adobe Information
when the OEM Customer has ceased distributing all Licensed System products. Upon
such termination Peerless shall take all reasonable measures to ensure that the
OEM Customer ceases all further use of and returns or destroys all Adobe
Information in its possession and continues to protect the Adobe Information in
accordance with the provisions in Paragraph 12.9 ("Obligations on Termination or
Expiration"). Peerless shall require that OEM Customer provide to Peerless
within thirty (30) days of termination a certificate in writing acknowledging
that OEM Customer has complied with its obligations to return or destroy all
Adobe Information in its possession.

     12.5 Expiration - No Renewal. In the event this Agreement is allowed to
expire at the end of the initial or renewed term, Peerless' rights under
Paragraph 2.2 ("Adobe Information Sublicenses") with respect to sublicensing the
use of Adobe Information to an OEM Customer under an existing Peerless OEM
Agreement shall continue for Licensed System products that have already been
certified pursuant to an executed Licensed System Appendix for the commercial
life of such Licensed Systems. In addition, Peerless' rights to sublicense to
such OEM Customers the use of Adobe Information for developing new Licensed
System products is contingent upon the following conditions being met: (a)
Licensed System products which are in the proposal stage, as documented by
Peerless to Adobe's reasonable satisfaction, and on which development has not
yet begun may be developed provided that the development of such Licensed System
product is completed under a Licensed System Appendix and the date of First
Commercial Shipment occurs no later than twelve (12) months following expiration
of this Agreement, (b) Licensed System products which are under development and
covered by an executed Licensed System Appendix at expiration may be completed
provided that First Commercial Shipment begins by no later than twelve (12)
months following expiration, (c) Licensed System products which Peerless can
demonstrate to Adobe's reasonable satisfaction are follow-on products (i.e.,
products similar to previously developed Licensed System products which
capitalize on the OEM Customer's earlier development effort and use the same
Peerless SDK), may be developed provided that the development of such follow-on
Licensed System

products are completed and First Commercial Shipment begins by no later than
eighteen (18) months following expiration. Other than as expressly set forth
above, Peerless shall have no rights to sublicense the use of Adobe Information
after the expiration of this Agreement. In the event of such expiration,
Peerless' obligations hereunder, including but not limited to its obligation to
maintain and support existing Licensed Systems, and make royalty and other
payments to Adobe with regard to such Licensed Systems, shall continue in full
force and effect. Peerless shall provide for automatic termination of the OEM
Customer's sublicensing rights to the Adobe Information when the OEM Customer
has ceased distributing all Licensed System products. Upon such termination
Peerless shall take all reasonable measures to ensure that the OEM Customer
ceases all further use of and returns or destroys all Adobe Information in its
possession and continues to protect the Adobe Information in accordance with the
provisions in Paragraph 12.9 ("Obligations on Termination or Expiration").
Peerless shall require that OEM Customer provide to Peerless within thirty (30)
days of termination a certificate in writing acknowledging that OEM Customer has
complied with its obligations to return or destroy all Adobe Information in its
possession.

     12.6 Termination of Peerless' Rights Under Paragraphs 12.3, 12.4 and 12.5.
Notwithstanding Peerless' limited rights under Paragraphs 12.3 ("Termination by
Adobe for Cause"), 12.4 ("Accelerated Expiration of Term") and 12.5 ("Expiration
- No Renewal") to continue sublicensing the use of Adobe Information to its OEM
Customers, all such sublicensing rights and all other rights and licenses under
this Agreement shall terminate immediately in the event of a material breach by
Peerless under this Agreement. Upon such termination Peerless shall take all
reasonable measures to ensure that its OEM Customers cease all further use of
and return or destroy all Adobe Information in their possession and continue to
protect the Adobe Information in accordance with the provisions in Paragraph
12.9 ("Obligations on Termination or Expiration"). Peerless shall require that
each such OEM Customer provide to Peerless within thirty (30) days of
termination a certificate in writing acknowledging that OEM Customer has
complied with its obligations to return or destroy all Adobe Information in its
possession.

     12.7 Obligation to Terminate an OEM Customer's Sublicensing Rights.
Peerless shall terminate an OEM Customer's right to use the Adobe Information if
an OEM Customer materially breaches any of its obligations under the Peerless
OEM Agreement or LOA, as applicable, with respect to the Adobe Information and
fails to remedy such breach within thirty (30) days after receiving notice of
said breach. The termination of such individual OEM Customer's rights to use
Adobe Information shall not however terminate this Agreement unless Peerless
fails to take the necessary action in a prompt manner to remedy such breach by
its OEM Customer or terminate OEM Customer's rights to use the Adobe Information
under the Peerless OEM Agreement or LOA. Upon such termination Peerless shall
take all reasonable measures, including but not limited to seeking injunctive
relief in a court of law, to ensure that its OEM Customer ceases all further use
of and returns or destroys all Adobe Information in its possession and continues
to protect the Adobe Information in accordance with the provisions in Paragraph
12.9 ("Obligations on Termination or Expiration"). Peerless shall require that
OEM Customer provide to Peerless within thirty (30) days of termination a
certificate in writing acknowledging that OEM Customer has complied with its
obligations to return or destroy all Adobe Information in its possession.

     12.8 Bankruptcy. Notwithstanding any other term of this Agreement, in the
event that Peerless becomes insolvent pursuant to Section 101(29) of the
Bankruptcy Code, is adjudicated bankrupt, or if a Receiver or Trustee is
appointed for Peerless for a substantial portion of its assets, or is admitted
to the benefits of any procedure for the settlement of debts or an assignment
for the benefit of its creditors, this Agreement shall terminate.

     12.9 Obligations on Termination or Expiration. Upon termination or
expiration of this Agreement:

          12.9.1 Licenses Terminated. Except as expressly set forth in Paragraph
12.3 ("Termination by Adobe for Cause"), Paragraph 12.4 ("Accelerated Expiration
of Term") and Paragraph 12.5 ("Expiration-No Renewal") above, the licenses
granted pursuant to Paragraph 2 ("Scope of Peerless' License") shall terminate
immediately.

          12.9.2 Safeguarding of Proprietary Rights. Peerless, its Third Party
Developers and its OEM Customers shall continue to be responsible for
safeguarding the proprietary rights of Adobe and Adobe's suppliers in accordance
with this Agreement, including Paragraph 6 ("Proprietary Rights and Legends")
and Exhibit N-1 ("Secure Procedures for Handling Adobe Support Information") and
Exhibit N-2 ("Additional Secure Procedures for Handling Adobe Restricted
Information"), after such termination or expiration. Paragraph 6 ("Proprietary
Rights and Legend"), Paragraph 8 ("Payments"), Paragraph 9 ("Performance
Warranty"), Paragraph 10 ("Peerless Support"), Paragraph 11 ("Proprietary Rights
Indemnity"), Paragraph 12 ("Term and Termination"), Paragraph 13 ("Limitation of
Liability"), and Paragraph 14 ("General") shall survive any expiration or
termination of this Agreement.

          12.9.3 Return or Destruction of Adobe Information. Except as expressly
set forth in Paragraph 12.3 ("Termination by Adobe for Cause"), Paragraph 12.4
("Accelerated Expiration of Term") and Paragraph 12.5 ("Expiration-No Renewal"),
Peerless will immediately discontinue use and distribution of, and return or
destroy all copies of, Adobe Information and other Adobe deliverables in its
possession (including copies placed in any storage device under Peerless'
control). Upon Adobe's request or at such time as all of Peerless' OEM
Customers' sublicensing rights to use the Adobe Information have terminated in
accordance with Paragraph 12.3 ("Termination by Adobe for Cause"), Paragraph
12.4 ("Accelerated Expiration of Term") or Paragraph 12.5 ("Expiration-No
Renewal"), Peerless shall warrant in writing to Adobe its return or destruction
of all of Adobe's proprietary information within thirty (30) days of termination
or expiration.

          12.9.4 Payment. The payment date of all monies due Adobe shall
automatically be accelerated so that they shall become due and payable on the
effective date of termination, even if longer terms had been provided
previously; provided, however, that for payment of future royalties and fees
payable by an OEM Customer to Peerless when earned, Peerless shall pay Adobe the
applicable amounts, as described herein, when such payments are made to
Peerless.

13.  LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.

     NEITHER ADOBE NOR ITS SUPPLIERS WILL BE LIABLE TO PEERLESS, OEM CUSTOMERS,
OR ANY OTHER PARTY FOR ANY LOSS OF USE, INTERRUPTION OF

                                       34

<PAGE>

BUSINESS OR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY
KIND (INCLUDING LOST PROFITS) REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF ACTION WHETHER IN
CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT PRODUCT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE,
EVEN IF ADOBE OR SUCH SUPPLIER HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
DAMAGES. The foregoing limitation of liability is independent of any exclusive
remedies for breach of warranty set forth in this Agreement.

14.  GENERAL.

     14.1 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed in all respects by the
laws of the United States of America and the State of California as such laws
are applied to agreements entered into and to be performed entirely within
California between California residents. The parties agree that the United
Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is
specifically excluded from application to this Agreement.

     14.2 Attorneys' Fees. In the event any proceeding or lawsuit is brought by
Adobe, its suppliers or Peerless in connection with this Agreement, the
prevailing party in such proceeding shall be entitled to receive its costs,
expert witness fees and reasonable attorneys' fees, including costs and fees on
appeal.

     14.3 Forum. All disputes arising under this Agreement may be brought in the
state and federal courts located in San Jose, California, as permitted by law.
Peerless consents to the personal jurisdiction of the above courts.

     14.4 Notices. All notices or reports permitted or required under this
Agreement shall be in writing and shall be delivered by personal delivery,
telegram, telex, telecopier, facsimile transmission, or by certified or
registered mail, return receipt requested, and shall be deemed given upon
personal delivery, five (5) days after deposit in the mail, or upon
acknowledgment of receipt of electronic transmission. Notices shall be sent to:
(i) the contract representative designated in the Adobe Deliverables Appendix or
in the specific SDK Appendix if the notice or report relates to one or more
specific Peerless SDKs, and (ii) a copy to the signatory of this Agreement at
the address set forth at the end of this Agreement or such other address as
either party may specify in writing. If the notice is to Adobe, a copy shall
also be sent to the attention of its General Counsel.

     14.5 Injunctive Relief. It is understood and agreed that, notwithstanding
any other provisions of this Agreement, breach of the provisions of this
Agreement by Peerless, or the breach by OEM Customers of the terms and
conditions set forth in Exhibit B ("Minimum Terms of Peerless OEM Agreements"),
will cause Adobe irreparable damage for which recovery of money damages would be
inadequate, and that Adobe shall therefore be entitled to obtain timely
injunctive relief to protect Adobe's rights under this Agreement in addition to
any and all remedies available at law. In the event Peerless, or its OEM
Customers continue to distribute the Revised Object, Font Programs, Host
Software, or any portion thereof after its right to do so has terminated or
expired, Adobe shall also be entitled to injunctive relief, including, without
limitation, an order directing that any copies of the Revised Object, Font
Programs, Host Software, or any portion thereof, which Peerless or its OEM
Customers attempt to import into

                                       35

<PAGE>

any country or territory be seized, impounded and destroyed by Customs officials
in order to prevent such importation.

     14.6  No Agency. Nothing contained herein shall be construed as creating
any agency, partnership, or other form of joint enterprise between the parties.

     14.7  Force Majeure. Neither party shall be liable hereunder by reason of
any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder (except for
the payment of money) on account of strikes, shortages, riots, insurrection,
fires, flood, storm, explosions, acts of God, war, governmental action, labor
conditions, earthquakes, material shortages or any other cause which is beyond
the reasonable control of such party. Payments which are otherwise due and
payable may be deferred with the prior written approval of the creditor and for
a limited period and such approval shall not be withheld if the debtor party can
demonstrate to the other party's reasonable satisfaction that the failure to pay
is due to the force majeure.

     14.8  Waiver. The failure of either party to require performance by the
other party of any provision hereof shall not affect the full right to require
such performance at any time thereafter; nor shall the waiver by either party of
a breach of any provision hereof be taken or held to be a waiver of the
provision itself.

     14.9  Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement shall
be unenforceable or invalid under any applicable law or be so held by applicable
court decision, such unenforceability or invalidity shall not render this
Agreement unenforceable or invalid as a whole, and, in such event, such
provision shall be changed and interpreted so as to best accomplish the
objectives of such unenforceable or invalid provision within the limits of
applicable law or applicable court decisions.

     14.10 Headings. The paragraph headings appearing in this Agreement are
inserted only as a matter of convenience and in no way define, limit, construe,
or describe the scope or extent of such paragraph or in any way affect this
Agreement.

     14.11 No Patent License. This Paragraph shall survive termination or
expiration of this Agreement.

           14.11.1 Adobe Patents. As used herein, "Adobe Patent Right" means any
right arising under any United States or foreign patent now owned by, or later
issued or assigned to Adobe, applicable to the Adobe Information. Adobe
covenants that, to the extent that Peerless, Peerless' OEM Customers as
authorized in this Agreement, OEM Customer's End Users, and Peerless' other
direct and indirect customers of Peerless SDKs or Revised Object (collectively
"Customers") exercise the rights expressly granted to Peerless, or which

Proprietary Information") shall constitute a material breach by OEM Customer and
OEM Customer shall be liable to Adobe for any damages or losses arising out of
such non-compliance.

     4.2 Adobe Trademarks. Any use of the Trademarks by OEM Customer or its OEM
Remarketer Customer must be pursuant to terms substantially equivalent to those
set forth in Exhibit L ("Use of Adobe Trademarks") and Paragraph 2.2.7
("Trademark License") of the Adobe and Peerless Agreement the terms of which are
hereby incorporated by reference herein. In addition to Adobe as the Trademark
Owner, Peerless shall have the right to take action to ensure that use by an OEM
Customer or OEM Remarketer Customer of Adobe Trademarks is in conformance with
the requirements set forth in this Paragraph.

     4.3 Proprietary Notices. OEM Customer agrees that as a condition of its
rights hereunder, each copy of the Adobe Information shall contain the same
proprietary notices of Adobe and its suppliers which appear on or in such Adobe
Information provided by Peerless to OEM Customer and as otherwise reasonably
required by Peerless. More specifically, OEM Customer agrees that a valid Adobe
copyright notice for the Revised Object, Font Programs and Host Software will
appear on the media, or, in the case of Revised Object executing on a
workstation or other host-based system, displayed on the single user screen of
the workstation or other host-based system when the Revised Object is first
invoked during an End User session, in the following format or such other format
as Peerless specifies by written notice to OEM Customer:

         (a) the name of the program,

         (b) the word "Copyright" and the circled-c symbol(C)

                                      B-7

<PAGE>

         (c) the date of first publication of the Adobe Software, and

         (d) the name of the copyright owner and the words "All Rights
Reserved."

     4.4 Protection Mechanisms. OEM Customer shall employ copy protection,
serialization, encryption or any other protection mechanism as may be specified
in the applicable Licensed System Appendix to restrict or monitor unauthorized
use of Adobe Software, Other Adobe Software and Font Programs licensed hereunder
("Protected Software"). The protection mechanism for Font Programs for Japanese,
Korean and Chinese Typefaces will normally be provided by Peerless from Adobe
and may include encryption as well as Copy Protection. "Copy Protection" shall
mean a mechanism that ensures that the applicable Licensed System will implement
a unique read-only PostScript Language LicenseID parameter to which each font
configuration will be keyed. If the protection mechanism is supplied by Peerless
as delivered from Adobe or its supplier, OEM Customer will use all reasonable
means to ensure that such protection mechanism is not removed, subverted or
disabled. In the event that it comes to Adobe's attention that any protection
mechanism distributed by OEM Customer hereunder has been violated and Adobe
reasonably believes that there is unlicensed use of the Protected Software
caused by such violation, OEM Customer will supply a new protection mechanism
within thirty (30) days of notification by Adobe. If Adobe can demonstrate that
such corrective action is unsuccessful in resolving the problem, OEM Customer
will take other action as required by Adobe, including stopping shipment of the
Protected Software, until corrective measures are successfully implemented. If
the OEM Customer's Licensed System is located in a network environment with
Protected Software located on a server, OEM Customer shall employ a protection
mechanism which permits End Users access to Protected Software only if such use
is permitted in the license purchased by the End User from OEM Customer.

     4.5 End User License. OEM Customer will take all steps necessary to protect
Adobe's proprietary rights in the Adobe information and to ensure that each copy
of the Revised Object, Font Programs and Host Software distributed by OEM
Customer to an End User, whether directly or through OEM Customer's usual
distribution channels, will be accompanied by a localized copy of OEM Customer's
or OEM Remarketer Customer's standard software license agreement applicable to
such software (the "End User Agreement"). Such End User Agreement will include
terms and conditions substantially equivalent to those set forth in Attachment 1
("Minimum Terms of End User Agreements") to this Exhibit B to this Agreement.
The End User Agreement may be (a) a written agreement signed by the End User, or
(b) a written agreement in the package containing the Revised Object, Font
Programs and Host Software, or the user documentation for the Revised Object,
Font Programs and Host Software, that is fully visible to the End User and that
the End User accepts by opening the package. If Peerless in writing permits
(based on Adobe's written permission to Peerless) OEM Customer, either directly
or through its Remarketer Customer, to distribute Host Software in electronic
form, OEM Customer shall ensure that upon the initial use of the Host Software,
the End User is presented with a copy of the End User Agreement and is required
to electronically accept the terms of the End User Agreement prior to accessing
use of the functions of the Host Software. If OEM Customer is supplied Adobe
Information by Peerless for distribution to End Users which is accompanied by an
Adobe-supplied End User license, OEM Customer agrees to retain and to require
its OEM Remarketer Customer to retain the End User license with the applicable
Adobe Information distributed hereunder. If any such Adobe Information does not
already include an

                                      B-8

<PAGE>

End User license, OEM Customer or OEM Remarketer Customer shall include its own
End User Agreement that complies with the requirements set forth in this
Paragraph with any such distribution. OEM Customer shall ensure that each
component of Adobe Information that it or its OEM Remarketer Customer licenses
to an End User as part of a compilation (for example, a CD-ROM software
compilation) contains either an Adobe-supplied End User License if applicable,
or is protected under an OEM Customer or OEM Remarketer Customer-supplied End
User Agreement accompanying the compilation in accordance with the terms of this
Paragraph. OEM Customer shall ensure that such End User Agreement contains a
provision stating that in case of conflict the terms of any individual End User
license shall prevail over the terms of the End User Agreement.

     4.6 LZW Patent Notice. OEM Customer shall include and shall require its OEM
Remarketer Customer to include a notice that the Licensed System includes an
implementation of LZW licensed under U.S. Patent 4,558,302. This notice must be
displayed on OEM Customer's or OEM Remarketer Customer's product packaging, End
User Agreement, or Licensed System documentation in a location reasonably
visible to the OEM Customer and End Users.

     4.7 U.S. Government End Users. When distributing a Licensed System product
to a U.S. Government End User, OEM Customer shall identify the Revised Object,
Font Programs, Host Software and related documentation as a "commercial item,"
as that term is defined at 48 C.F.R. 2.101, and more specifically shall be
identified as "commercial computer software" and "commercial computer software
documentation," as such terms are used in 48 C.F.R. 12.212. Consistent with 48
C.F.R. 12.212 and 48 C.F.R. 227.7202-1 through 227.7202-4, OEM Customer will
provide the Revised Object, Font Programs, Host Software and related
documentation to U.S. Government End Users (a) only as a commercial end item and
(b) with only those rights as are granted to all other End Users pursuant to the
terms and conditions herein.

     4.8 Foreign Government Agreements. OEM Customer will take all reasonable
steps in making proposals and agreements with foreign governments other than the
United States which involve the Revised Object, Font Programs, Host Software and
related documentation to ensure that Adobe's proprietary rights in such Revised
Object, Font Programs, Host Software and related documentation receive the
maximum protection available from such foreign government for commercial
computer software and related documentation developed at private expense.

     4.9 Patent Protection.

         4.9.1 Adobe Patents. As used herein, "Adobe Patent Right" means any
right arising under any United States or foreign patent now owned by, or later
issued or assigned to Adobe, applicable to the Adobe Information. Adobe
covenants that, to the extent that OEM Customer, OEM Customer's End Users, and
OEM Customer's other direct and indirect customers of Revised Object
(collectively "Customers") exercise the rights expressly granted to OEM Customer
under this Peerless OEM Agreement, or which OEM Customer is authorized to grant
to Customers herein, Adobe will not (a) assert any Adobe Patent Right against
OEM Customer, (b) assert any Adobe Patent Right against Customers, or (c)
require any additional fee

                                      B-9

<PAGE>

or royalty from OEM Customer or Customers based upon any Adobe Patent Right.
Except to the extent of such covenant not to assert any Adobe Patent Right,
nothing contained herein shall be construed as conferring, by implication,
estoppel, or otherwise, any license or right with respect to any Adobe Patent
Right.

          4.9.2 OEM Customer Patents. As used herein, "OEM Customer Patent
Right" means any patent right arising under any United States or foreign patent
issued or assigned to OEM Customer and having a filing date after the inventor
had access to the Adobe Support Information in which (a) an inventor is (i) an
employee of OEM Customer who has had access to the Adobe Support Information or
(ii) an independent contractor who has had access to the Adobe Support
Information and has assigned patent rights in the claimed invention to OEM
Customer and (b) the techniques, algorithms or processes contained in the Adobe
Support Information, or adaptations of such techniques, algorithms or processes
are an essential element of the patented invention. Should any disputes arise as
to whether any patent falls within the above definition of OEM Customer Patent
Right, then OEM Customer and Adobe agree to submit to mutually acceptable
alternative dispute resolution. OEM Customer Patent Right shall not include any
patent applications filed three (3) years after termination or expiration of
this Agreement. OEM Customer covenants that it will not (a) assert any OEM
Customer Patent Right against Adobe or against its sublicensees or customers for
products containing Adobe Support Information of a similar nature to that
distributed by OEM Customer, or (b) require any fee or royalty from Adobe or
such sublicensees or customers for the sale of such products based upon OEM
Customer Patent Rights. Except to the extent expressed above, nothing contained
herein shall be construed as conferring, by implication, estoppel, or otherwise
any license or right with respect to any OEM Customer Patent Right.

     4.10 Survival. OEM Customer's obligation to protect Adobe's proprietary
rights as set forth in this Paragraph 4 ("Protection of Proprietary
Information") shall survive any termination of its Peerless OEM Agreement.

5.   MARKETING GUIDELINES.

     5.1  Marketing Effort. OEM Customer agrees to use commercially reasonable
efforts to (a) promote the Licensed Systems, and (b) undertake the following
marketing programs or such marketing programs described in the applicable
Licensed System Appendix:

          5.1.1 Press Releases. OEM Customer agrees to allow Peerless to review
all announcements and press releases pertaining to Licensed Systems prior to
their release to the public or the press, and to incorporate all changes that
Peerless may reasonably request to ensure correct Trademark usage and accuracy
of content.

          5.1.2 Trade Shows. OEM Customer agrees to prominently display the
Licensed System, using the Adobe PostScript logo or other trademarks designated
by Adobe, at all trade shows where OEM Customer displays printer products, and
to clearly identify the Licensed System as an Adobe PostScript product at such
shows.

                                      B-10

<PAGE>

           5.1.3 Adobe PostScript Logo. OEM Customer agrees to use the
Trademarks (including the Adobe PostScript logo) in accordance with Exhibit L
("Use of Adobe Trademarks") of the Adobe and Peerless Agreement.

           5.1.4 Adobe Marketing Materials. If Adobe or Peerless provides OEM
Customer with any printed marketing materials that describe to End Users the use
and benefits of Adobe Software, including any End User registration materials,
OEM Customer agrees to distribute such materials with each Licensed System or
applicable Licensed System component distributed by OEM Customer hereunder. OEM
Customer agrees to reproduce (e.g., on CD-ROM media) and distribute as set forth
herein, and at OEM Customer's expense, any such materials provided by Adobe or
Peerless to OEM Customer electronically.

           5.1.5 Point-of-Purchase. Upon Peerless' request, OEM Customer agrees
to consult with Peerless in the development of applicable product brochures and
other marketing materials related to Licensed Systems. If Peerless supplies such
promotional materials to OEM Customer for distribution, OEM Customer will use
the promotional materials in its reseller promotions.

           5.1.6 Web Site. The parties agree to implement mutually acceptable
co-marketing activities utilizing each company's World Wide Web (the "Web")
site. Such activities will include, but will not necessarily be limited to, the
following:

                 5.1.6.1 OEM Customer Site. Peerless will provide to OEM
Customer content describing the Adobe PostScript technology and its features and
benefits and OEM Customer agrees to include such Peerless-provided content on
its external Web site. The parties agree to promptly resolve any content and/or
style disputes in good faith. OEM Customer shall make prominent use of the Adobe
PostScript logo (or other such logo as Adobe may designate from time to time) on
each screen/page where PostScript product literature pertaining to Adobe
PostScript technology is displayed. OEM Customer will also provide a link on its
Web site where Licensed Systems are promoted, to the target page at Peerless'
Web site which contains generic information and education about the PostScript
technology. Agreement by OEM Customer to link to such Peerless Web site is
contingent on the target Web page (URL) containing only PostScript-related
technology involving Adobe technology. In addition to the foregoing, if OEM
Customer has a channel or VAR-specific Web site, OEM Customer will include all
PostScript training materials in PDF format (if available) for channel training
purposes.

                 5.1.6.2 Peerless Web Site. Peerless will provide a link on its
Web site for the PostScript technology to the page on OEM Customer's site where
the Licensed Systems are promoted. Agreement by Peerless to link to OEM
Customer's Web site is contingent on the URL not containing any information
about technology that competes with the Adobe PostScript technology, the names
of any vendors of such competing technology, or links to other Web sites
containing any such information.

     5.2   Conformance to Marketing Guidelines. At least thirty (30) days prior
to First Commercial Shipment of Revised Object for a particular Licensed System,
and from time to time thereafter at Peerless' request, OEM Customer agrees to
provide Peerless with copies of all

                                      B-11

<PAGE>

marketing materials related to such Licensed System as proof of implementation
of the above marketing guidelines. Peerless shall have fifteen (15) days from
receipt of such materials to review and approve such materials. In the event
that Peerless does not provide OEM Customer with comments to such materials
within such fifteen (15) day period, Peerless will be deemed to have approved
such materials.

     5.3 Clone Products. * With respect to any Clone Products which OEM
Customer develops or markets, OEM Customer agrees that it will not exploit its
access to the Adobe Information, its relationship with Adobe, or the existence
in its product line of Licensed Systems containing PostScript software to
promote or legitimize Clone Products. Furthermore, OEM Customer agrees to use
best efforts to distinguish Licensed Systems from Clone Products when displaying
or referring to Licensed Systems in advertisements, catalogs, brochures and at
trade shows by (a) identifying the Licensed Systems prominently and exclusively
with the Adobe PostScript logo in such proximity that the viewer is unlikely to
associate the PostScript logo or any Adobe Trademark with the Clone Products,
and (b) not associating the Adobe Trademarks with any Clone Product in
advertising, press releases, and other promotional and marketing materials.

6.   GENERAL.

     6.1 Peerless Audit Right. OEM Customer shall maintain a complete, clear,
accurate record of: (a) the number, type, and SRP for each Licensed System for
which Revised Object is distributed or used internally by OEM Customer during
the quarter, (b) the number of copies of Host Software distributed or used
internally by OEM Customer during the quarter, (c) the number of Font Programs
by Typeface, bundled with the Revised Object for use as a part of a Licensed
System and licensed to End Users or used internally by OEM Customer during the
quarter, and (d) any other information which may be required to determine
whether OEM Customer is paying the correct royalty amount to Peerless for each
Licensed System and royalty-bearing component distributed by OEM Customer
hereunder. To ensure OEM Customer's compliance with the terms of its agreement
with Peerless, Peerless shall have the right to conduct an inspection and audit
of all the relevant accounting and sales books and records of OEM Customer
during regular business hours at OEM Customer's offices and in such a manner as
not to interfere with OEM Customer's normal business activities. In no event
shall audits be made hereunder more frequently than every six (6) months.

     6.2 Disclaimers. ADOBE AND ITS THIRD PARTY SUPPLIERS MAKE NO WARRANTIES OF
ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE, OR
STATUTORY, AS TO THE ADOBE INFORMATION OR ANY MATTER WHATSOEVER. IN PARTICULAR,
ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND
NON-INFRINGEMENT ARE EXPRESSLY EXCLUDED. OEM CUSTOMER SHALL

                                      B-12

<PAGE>

NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO MAKE OR PASS ON, AND SHALL TAKE ALL MEASURES NECESSARY TO
ENSURE THAT NEITHER IT NOR ANY OF ITS AGENTS, EMPLOYEES, OR CUSTOMERS SHALL MAKE
OR PASS ON, ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION ON BEHALF OF ADOBE
OR ITS THIRD PARTY SUPPLIERS TO ANY CUSTOMER, END USER, OR THIRD PARTY. Adobe
shall have no responsibility for supporting OEM Customers or OEM Customer's End
Users. Peerless or OEM Customer, either directly or indirectly, will provide End
Users with reasonable End User documentation, warranty service, and telephone
support for the use of Licensed Systems consistent with good industry practice.

     6.3 Injunctive Relief. It is understood and agreed that, notwithstanding
any other provisions of this Agreement, breach of the provisions of this
Agreement by OEM Customer of the terms and conditions set forth herein will
cause Adobe irreparable damage for which recovery of money damages would be
inadequate, and that Adobe and/or Peerless shall therefore be entitled to obtain
timely injunctive relief to protect Adobe's rights under this Agreement in
addition to any and all remedies available at law. In the event OEM Customer
continues to distribute the Revised Object, Font Programs, Host Software, or any
portion thereof after its right to do so has terminated or expired, Adobe and/or
Peerless shall also be entitled to injunctive relief, including, without
limitation, an order directing that any copies of the Revised Object, Font
Programs, Host Software, or any portion thereof, OEM Customer attempts to import
into any country or territory be seized, impounded and destroyed by Customs
officials in order to prevent such importation.

                         Licensed System Test Procedures

         Peerless shall test, or in the case of a Licensed System, shall require
its OEM Customer or Third Party Developer to test (and Peerless shall monitor
and verify such OEM Customer or Third Party Developer testing), any Revised
Object (including any previously-certified Revised Object subsequently modified
by Peerless, its OEM Customer or Third Party Developer) or proposed Designated
Output Device for conformity with the Adobe Certification Test Suite in
accordance with the following procedures, unless otherwise specified in an
Appendix (as defined below):

         1. TEST PLAN. Peerless shall notify the Adobe technical coordinator
specified in the applicable Adobe Deliverables Appendix at least *. At such
time, Peerless shall provide initial versions of any applicable PPD Files, and
any other checklists or specification information requested by Adobe. Based on
such information, Adobe shall create a test plan specifying the testing to be
performed by Peerless or its OEM Customer or Third Party Developer, as
applicable, to meet Adobe's certification criteria. If the Licensed System which
contains the Revised Object is one of a family of products with substantially
similar functionality and features, Adobe may choose to identify a subset of
these Licensed Systems on which to perform testing for conformance with the
acceptance criteria.

         2. PEERLESS TESTING. Prior to submission of Revised Object or proposed
Designated Output Device to Adobe for certification in accordance with the terms
hereof, Peerless shall test, or require its OEM Customer or Third Party
Developer to test the Revised Object or proposed Designated Output Device for
conformity with the Adobe Certification Test Suite in accordance with the test
plan provided by Adobe. After successful completion of such testing, Peerless
shall provide Adobe with a comprehensive report of the test results of such
testing which will include all printer output and other test results, and, if
requested by Adobe, a pre-production release of the Revised Object or proposed
Designated Output Device that generated the test results. Peerless shall supply
Adobe with a declaration signed by an authorized representative of Peerless
certifying to the effect that it has run or has verified that its OEM Customer
or Third Party Developer has run the Adobe Certification Test Suite in
accordance with the test plan supplied by Adobe and that the results provided to
Adobe for its review are accurate and complete.

         3. ADOBE CERTIFICATION. Adobe shall have * or such other period as
specified in the letter of transmittal accompanying the Licensed System
Appendix, following Peerless' delivery of the test results to Adobe, to
determine from its review of such test results whether the Revised Object or
proposed Designated Output Device (a) conforms to the applicable Adobe
Certification Test Suite and any other test or procedures specified in the test
plan, and (b) produces output meeting Adobe's quality standards, as reasonably
determined by Adobe from time to time. After conducting such review, Adobe shall
notify Peerless in writing either that it certifies the Revised Object or
proposed Designated Output Device or elects to submit the Revised Object or
proposed Designated Output Device to further testing and certification by Adobe
before it can be approved for First Commercial Shipment of a Licensed

System. In the event Adobe has to run a full Quality Assurance testing cycle,
Peerless shall supply Adobe with all of the necessary Loaned Equipment,
maintenance services and consumables required by Adobe to conduct such
certification testing, including the applicable Revised Object and any updated
versions thereof in a timely manner as the updated versions become available.
Alternatively, the parties may agree that Adobe shall conduct such testing at
Peerless, or its OEM Customer's or Third Party Developer's site subject to
Peerless paying Adobe's reasonable fees and travel expenses resulting from such
on-site testing. Upon determining that the Revised Object or proposed Designated
Output Device does not conform to the Adobe Certification Test Suite and any
other test or procedures specified in the test plan, or that the test output
fails to meet Adobe's quality standards, Adobe shall provide to Peerless a
report identifying the failure. Peerless shall use reasonable efforts to
promptly correct any nonconformity and resubmit the Revised Object or proposed
Designated Output Device for retesting. This process shall continue until Adobe
certifies the Revised Object or proposed Designated Output Device. Peerless may
be subject to a retesting charge, as specified in Paragraph 8.8 ("Testing Fees")
of the Agreement.

                                    EXHIBIT K

                   Maintenance For Standard Reference Port(s)

     1.   MAINTENANCE. Peerless shall purchase Maintenance for the Adobe
Software contained in a Standard Reference Port and associated Adobe Information
specified in each Adobe Deliverables Appendix (on a per Development Site basis)
and pay the annual maintenance fee, if any, described in Paragraph 2
("Maintenance Fees for Standard Reference Port(s)") of Exhibit O ("Royalty
Payments and Other Fees") of the Agreement. In exchange, Adobe shall provide
Peerless with Maintenance for the Adobe Software contained in a Standard
Reference Port and associated Adobe Information commencing upon the expiration
of the Warranty Period for such Adobe Software, as set forth in Paragraph 9.1
("Adobe Software Warranties") of the Agreement. "Maintenance" means (a) the
delivery of Updates to the Adobe Information, (b) the Error resolution services
described in Paragraph 2 ("Description of Error Resolution Services Provided by
Adobe") below for the then Standard Reference Port, and (c) development support
(technical assistance via telephone or e-mail regarding Peerless' use of the
Standard Reference Port and associated Adobe Information for development of
Licensed Systems) in the amount specified in an Adobe Deliverables Appendix.

     2.   DESCRIPTION OF ERROR RESOLUTION SERVICES PROVIDED BY ADOBE.

          2.1  Error Reports. Peerless shall identify for Adobe, by electronic
mail, any Errors. An "Error" is a defect in a Standard Reference Port which
causes such Standard Reference Port, when compiled and running in the
development environment specified in an Adobe Deliverables Appendix, not to
operate substantially in accordance with the PostScript Language Specification.

          2.2  Classification of Errors. Peerless will use its reasonable
business judgment to classify Errors (in accordance with the classifications set
forth below) submitted to Adobe.

               2.2.1  Level 4 Severity. A Level 4 Error causes the Standard
Reference Port to fail to operate in a material manner or to produce
substantially incorrect results, and there is no workaround solution to the
Error.

               2.2.2  Level 3 Severity. A Level 3 Error causes the Standard
Reference Port to fail to operate in a material manner or to produce
substantially incorrect results, and there is a difficult workaround or no
workaround solution to the Error. Errors which are not demonstrable with a
PostScript software-supporting application or driver (i.e., are reproducible
only with hand-generated PostScript software) are generally classified as Level
3 and not Level 4 Severity Errors.

               2.2.3  Level 2 Severity. A Level 2 Error produces an inconvenient
situation in which the Standard Reference Port is usable but does not provide a
function in the most convenient or expeditious manner; and the use or value of
the Standard Reference Port suffers no significant impact.

                                      K-1

<PAGE>

               2.2.4  Level 1 Severity. A Level 1 Error is minor or cosmetic in
nature.

               2.2.5  Level 0 Severity. This level will be used for new features
in a Standard Reference Port requested by Peerless.

     3.   ADOBE'S RESPONSE TO ERROR REPORTS. Adobe shall acknowledge receipt of
an Error report within * days. If, in Adobe's judgment, an Error report
correctly identifies a Level 3 or 4 Severity Error, Adobe shall *. A Level 0, 1
or 2 Severity Error shall be *. In order to verify the existence of a Error for
which Adobe is responsible, Peerless shall demonstrate to Adobe's reasonable
satisfaction that the Error occurs in a then Standard Reference Port when
executing in a mutually agreed upon development environment. Adobe will have no
obligation to provide such Maintenance if (a) the Error cannot be verified in an
agreed upon development environment, (b) Peerless is unable to supply Adobe with
a reasonable development environment on which to conduct the testing, (c) the
Error is in a release or version of the Adobe Software that is not part of a
then Standard Reference Port or (d) the Adobe Information has been modified by
any party other than Adobe.

     4.   SPECIAL SERVICES. Peerless may request that Adobe perform special
support services not covered herein. Adobe shall negotiate in good faith with
Peerless with respect to any such request for special support services and Adobe
shall use reasonable commercial efforts to accommodate any such request by
Peerless at Adobe's then current prices and upon terms and conditions to be
mutually agreed upon by the parties.

* Confidential treatment has been requested for portions of this exhibit. The
copy filed herewith omits the information subject to the confidentiality
request. Omissions are designated as *. A complete version of this exhibit has
been filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

                             CPSI Continuing Support

1.   Definitions.

     1.1  CPSI Platform. "CPSI Platform" shall mean the Adobe Software, as that
          term is defined in Paragraph 1.6 ("Adobe Software") of the Agreement,
          running on a specified architecture, that Adobe supplies in object
          code form only and from which Peerless develops host-based Licensed
          Systems or Peerless SDK(s) for use by an OEM Customer in developing
          host-based Licensed Systems using the same architecture (hereinafter
          "CPSI Software").

     1.2  Release. "Release" shall mean a version of the CPSI Software for a
          particular CPSI Platform provided by Adobe to Peerless in accordance
          with the terms and conditions of the Agreement or this Exhibit K-1.

     1.3  Resolution. "Resolution" shall mean a modification(s) to the CPSI
          Software provided by Adobe to Peerless intended to resolve an Error.

2.   Support Fee for CPSI Support Services. Upon payment by Peerless of the
     non-refundable annual support fees for CPSI Platforms in the amounts
     specified in Paragraph 2 ("Maintenance Fees for Standard Reference
     Port(s)") of Exhibit O ("Royalty Payment and Other Fees"), or if such fee
     is * in accordance with Paragraph 2 of Exhibit O, Adobe will provide
     support services for CPSI Platform(s), as described herein ("CPSI
     Support").

3.   CPSI Support Services To Be Provided.

     3.1  Adobe will provide the following services to a maximum of two (2)
          named Peerless Technical Contacts (designated in Attachment 1) for the
          supported CPSI Platforms.

          (a)  Adobe support will only be available during Adobe's normal
               business hours, 9 A.M. to 4 P.M. Pacific Time, Monday through
               Friday, excluding Adobe holidays.

          (b)  Delivery of Updates to the CPSI Software which are generally made
               available to similarly-situated licensees who have licensed the
               same CPSI Software product from Adobe under the applicable
               license.

     3.2  During the CPSI Support period, Peerless may notify Adobe specifying
          any CPSI Software Errors that Peerless wishes to have corrected.

          (a)  Adobe will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide a
               Resolution to mutually-agreed upon Errors reported in accordance
               with the guidelines set forth in Attachment 2 ("Adobe Error
               Resolution Services").

* Confidential treatment has been requested for portions of this exhibit. The
copy filed herewith omits the information subject to the confidentiality
request. Omissions are designated as *. A complete version of this exhibit has
been filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

                           Attachment 2 to Exhibit K-1

<PAGE>

          (b)  Once Peerless submits and Adobe accepts one or more CPSI Software
               Error notifications(s) requesting a Resolution to Errors in the
               then-current Release of the CPSI Software, Peerless and Adobe
               shall agree in writing (signed or via electronic mail) to a
               schedule for the delivery of the corrected CPSI Software or
               work-around (in accordance with the applicable response times set
               forth in Attachment 2). If Peerless submits additional CPSI
               Software Error notifications for a Release after the parties have
               agreed upon a schedule for delivery of corrections to such
               Release, the parties must agree upon a revised schedule for the
               delivery of the corrected CPSI Software. Otherwise, the
               notification of an additional CPSI Software Error will be deemed
               to be the first of a new series of CPSI Software Error
               notifications for a subsequent Release.

          (c)  Peerless will have thirty (30) days (or such other time as the
               parties may mutually agree upon) from the date on which Adobe
               makes delivery of the Resolution to examine and test the
               Resolution to determine that it corrects the mutually-agreed upon
               Errors. The Resolution will be deemed to have been accepted by
               Peerless if Adobe does not receive within such thirty (30) day
               period a notification from Peerless reporting CPSI Software
               Errors that Peerless believes the Resolution did not sufficiently
               correct. If Peerless delivers to Adobe within such thirty (30)
               day period a supplemental notification of a CPSI Software Error
               reporting such uncorrected Errors, Adobe shall evaluate such
               supplemental notification of a CPSI Software Error and use
               reasonable means to provide to Peerless a Resolution within
               thirty (30) days of receiving the supplemental notification of a
               CPSI Software Error. Should such Resolution not correct the
               Errors, Peerless' sole and exclusive remedy shall be to extend
               the correction period for a mutually agreed upon time.

4.   All deliveries of CPSI Software and any corrections, changes, alterations
     or enhancements to the CPSI Software supplied by Adobe to Peerless pursuant
     to the terms and conditions of this Exhibit K-1 do not create or extend any
     warranties.

                                    EXHIBIT L

                             Use of Adobe Trademarks

     1.   DEFINITIONS. For the purposes of this Exhibit, the following
definitions shall apply.

          1.1  "Licensed Product" means (i) Peerless SDK or Peerless Revised
Object deliverable as applied to Peerless, and (ii) Licensed System as applied
to OEM Customer or OEM Remarketer Customer.

          1.2  "Product Appendix" means (i) an SDK Appendix as applied to a
Peerless SDK, and (ii) Licensed System Appendix as applied to a Licensed System.

          1.3  "Trademark Licensee" means (i) Peerless in those instances of
Peerless' use and license of the Trademarks, (ii) OEM Customer in those
instances of OEM Customer's use and license of the Trademarks, and (iii) OEM
Remarketer Customer in those instances of OEM Remarketer Customer's use and
license of the Trademark.

     2.   OWNERSHIP OF TRADEMARKS. Trademark Licensee acknowledges the ownership
of the Adobe Trademarks in Adobe and the ownership of the Typeface Trademarks in
the entities identified as "Trademark Owner" in Exhibit D ("Extended Roman Font
Program Set") and in Exhibit D-1 ("Non-Roman Font Programs") or in a Product
Appendix hereto. Adobe and such Typeface Trademark owners are referred to as the
"Trademark Owners". Trademark Licensee agrees that it will do nothing
inconsistent with such ownership and that all use of the Trademarks by Trademark
Licensee shall inure to the benefit of and be on behalf of Adobe. Trademark
Licensee acknowledges that Trademarks are valid under applicable law and that
Trademark Licensee's utilization of the Trademarks will not create any right,
title or interest in or to such Trademarks. Trademark Licensee acknowledges
Trademark Owners' exclusive right to use of the Trademarks and agrees not to do
anything contesting or impairing the trademark rights of the Trademark Owners.
Any use of the Trademarks must identify the applicable "Trademark Owner" as the
owner of such Trademarks. Trademark Licensee agrees that it will notify or
require notification of sublicensees who receive Font Programs that (a) Typeface
Trademarks can only be used to identify printed output produced by the Font
Programs, and (b) the Typeface Trademarks are the property of the Trademark
Owners. Trademark Licensee will maintain a high quality standard in producing
copies of Font Programs and Typefaces. At the request of Adobe, Trademark
Licensee must supply samples of any Typeface identified by a Typeface Trademark.

     3.   QUALITY STANDARDS. Adobe hereby appoints Trademark Licensee as its
representative for the limited purpose of controlling the quality of the Revised
Object, Font Programs, Host Software and Licensed Products and any other
products or services Trademark Licensee supplies in connection with the use of
the Trademarks. Peerless or OEM Customer, as applicable, shall identify its
current Trademark Licensee(s) upon request by Adobe. Trademark Licensee agrees
that (a) the nature and quality of Licensed Products and any other products or
services it supplies in connection with use of the Trademarks shall conform to
the standards set

                                      L-1

<PAGE>

by Adobe, and (b) it will cooperate with Adobe in facilitating Adobe's
monitoring and control of the nature and quality of such products and services.
Such assistance shall include supplying Adobe, upon its request, with specimens
of its use of the Trademarks, including supplying samples of reprinted
documentation, translations, product packaging and promotional materials that
use the Trademarks in conjunction with Trademark Licensee's marketing of
Licensed Products. Adobe may conduct an inspection of such specimens at
facilities of its choosing including at Trademark Licensee's facilities to
determine conformance with the standards. Trademark Licensee shall at Adobe's
request assist Adobe in conducting such inspection and testing including, but
not limited to, providing Adobe with applicable hardware. If, at any time, Adobe
determines that Trademark Licensee has not met the Adobe quality standards,
Adobe shall so advise Trademark Licensee and, upon Trademark Licensee's receipt
of such notice by any means, the party who has failed to meet the standards
shall have sixty (60) days to improve the quality to the standard previously
approved by Adobe, or to cease the use of all Trademarks. Trademark Licensee
shall comply with all applicable laws and regulations and obtain all appropriate
government approvals pertaining to the use of the Trademarks and to the
distribution and advertising of the Revised Object, Font Programs, Host Software
and Licensed Products. In addition, Trademark Licensee shall provide reasonable
and timely assistance to Adobe to comply with the same.

     4.   INFRINGEMENT PROCEEDINGS. Trademark Licensee agrees to notify Adobe of
any unauthorized or improper use of the Trademarks by other parties (including
Subsidiaries or sublicensees) promptly as it comes to Trademark Licensee's
attention. Adobe shall have the sole right and discretion to bring infringement
or unfair competition proceedings involving the Trademarks; provided, however,
that Trademark Licensee shall provide reasonable assistance solely upon Adobe's
request to investigate and/or prosecute trademark violations on behalf of Adobe.

     5.   TRADEMARK LICENSEE'S USE OF TRADEMARKS. Trademark Licensee agrees that
it will (a) prominently and permanently include the Adobe Trademarks, including
the Adobe PostScript logo, on all copies of the Revised Object, including the
splash screen and media, and on any Trademark Licensee product distributed to
End Users which contains the Revised Object, (b) use the Adobe Trademarks,
including the Adobe PostScript logo, in any advertising or printed materials
concerning the Revised Object, including point-of-sale and channel materials,
(c) use the Adobe PostScript logo on Trademark Licensee's corporate web site in
accordance with Paragraph 7.1.6 ("Web Site") of the Agreement or Paragraph 5.1.6
("Web Site") of Exhibit B ("Minimum Terms of Peerless OEM Agreements") as
applicable, and (d) use all applicable Trademarks on all copies, advertisements,
brochures, manuals, packaging and other appropriate uses made in the promotion,
sale or use of the Revised Object, Font Programs, Host Software and PostScript
Language Specification. Trademark Licensee shall make specific reference to the
Adobe Trademarks applicable to the software components included in the Revised
Object in any advertisement concerning the Licensed Products which also contains
specific names of other software products. All such uses shall be in accordance
with Adobe's then-current trademark manual. Trademark Licensee shall not
translate the Trademarks nor render or adapt a foreign language equivalent of
the Trademarks.

     6.   TRADEMARK REGISTRATIONS. Trademark Licensee, at Adobe's request, shall
(a) promptly provide Adobe with any specimens, (b) execute all applications for
trademark

                                      L-2

<PAGE>

registrations, assignments, cancellations or other applicable documents, and (c)
perform any other act reasonably necessary for any Trademark Owner to secure or
maintain any and all trademark rights in any country in which Trademark Licensee
is marketing the Revised Object, Font Programs, and Host Software in association
with a trademark. Trademark Licensee's responsibilities shall include complying
with the formalities of local law, including, but not limited to, executing any
application for registration as a registered user, executing additional license
agreements suitable for recording with the appropriate authorities or providing
proof of use of the trademarks in any other applicable documents.

     7.   NO UNITARY OR COMPOSITE MARKS. Trademark Licensee agrees not to use
any other trademark or service mark in close proximity to any of the Adobe
Trademarks or combine the marks so as to effectively create a unitary composite
mark (e.g., which may potentially give the public a misimpression of the
relationship between Trademark Licensee, its licensees and Adobe) without the
prior written approval of Adobe.

                                    EXHIBIT M

                 Provisions For Protection Of Adobe Header Files

         1.  OWNERSHIP. OEM Customer agrees that Adobe is the sole and exclusive
owner of all rights, title and interest, including all copyrights, patents,
trade secrets and other intellectual property rights in the Adobe Header Files.
No title to or ownership of the Adobe Header Files, any copies thereof, or the
patent, copyright, trade secret or other proprietary rights contained therein is
transferred to OEM Customer.

         2.  DISCLOSURE. OEM Customer agrees to hold any information relating to
Adobe Header Files in strict confidence, disclosing such information only to
authorized employees and authorized contractors ("Authorized Persons") having a
need to use such information as permitted by this Agreement and to take all
reasonable precautions to prevent disclosure to other parties. Each Authorized
Person shall have executed an employee or contractor agreement in which such
employee or contractor agrees to protect third party confidential information.
OEM Customer shall be responsible for the compliance of all Authorized Persons
with their obligations under such non-disclosure agreements.

         3.  PROTECTION OF ADOBE HEADER FILES. OEM Customer agrees not to (a)
reproduce the Adobe Header Files, or any portion of the Adobe Header Files, in
any form or medium, without Peerless' or Adobe's prior written permission except
as necessary for developing OEM Customer's products that include Adobe's
PostScript technology, (b) store or otherwise use the Adobe Header Files, except
on a secure computer system and in a secured area (defined to mean password
protected and with other security measures implemented to reasonably ensure that
access is limited to Authorized Persons), and at an OEM Customer's designated
location approved by Peerless, or (c) use the Adobe Header Files for any purpose
not specifically authorized in this Agreement. OEM Customer agrees to promptly
notify Peerless of any lost or missing items of which OEM Customer is aware and
to use best efforts to recover such items. OEM Customer shall advise all
Authorized Persons of their responsibilities under the Agreement both at the
time such person's access to the Adobe Header Files commences, and at the time
such access terminates. Specifically, OEM Customer agrees, in connection with
the reassignment of an employee or contractor from a project involving access to
the Adobe Header Files to a project not involving such access, to document the
date on which the employee or contractor ceased to have access to the Adobe
Header Files.

         4.  NO COMMINGLING OF EMPLOYEES AND INFORMATION. OEM Customer
guarantees that all Authorized Persons who have had previous access or currently
have access to the Adobe Header Files will be precluded for a period of *
following his/her last access to the Adobe Header Files from being employed in
any OEM Customer activity relating to development of a Clone Product. OEM
Customer will ensure that each such Authorized Person shall, concurrent with the
commencement of work on Clone Product development, sign a written affirmation to
OEM Customer on a form provided by OEM Customer which states that each such
employee or contractor (a) has neither retained nor had access for * to a copy
of the Adobe Header Files, and (b) will not utilize, or facilitate use of, any
portion of the Adobe Header Files in such Clone Product development.

* Confidential treatment has been requested for portions of this exhibit. The
copy filed herewith omits the information subject to the confidentiality
request. Omissions are designated as *. A complete version of this exhibit has
been filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

                                       M-1

<PAGE>

This prohibition against engaging in Clone Product development for the
prescribed period shall apply equally to raster-output devices and to display or
screen output devices. In addition, OEM Customer shall ensure that there is no
sharing of design documents or other information based upon or derived from the
Adobe Header Files with any Clone Product development.

            Secure Procedures for Handling Adobe Support Information

     This Exhibit sets forth the procedures to follow for the handling of any
Adobe Support Information whether such Adobe Support Information includes Adobe
Support Source and/or Adobe Core Source. In instances where the Adobe Support
Information consists of or includes Adobe Core Source, the additional procedures
set forth in Exhibit N-2 ("Additional Secure Procedures for Handling Adobe
Restricted Information") will also be applicable.

     1.   DEFINITIONS. For the purposes of this Exhibit, the following
definitions shall apply.

          1.1   "Adobe Support Information Recipient" means (i) Peerless in
those instances of Peerless' receipt, use and license of the Adobe Support
Information, (ii) Third Party Developer in those instances of Third Party
Developer's receipt and use of the Adobe Support Information, and (iii) OEM
Customer in those instances of OEM Customer's receipt, use and license of the
Adobe Support Information.

          1.2   "Licensed Product" means (i) Peerless SDK or Peerless Revised
Object deliverable as applied to Peerless, and (ii) Licensed System as applied
to OEM Customer.

     2.   AUTHORIZED EMPLOYEES AND CONTRACTORS. Adobe Support Information
Recipient agrees that it will not disclose all or any portion of the Adobe
Support Information to third parties, with the exception of authorized employees
("Authorized Employees") and authorized contractors ("Authorized Contractors")
(subject to Adobe Support Information Recipient's having obtained authorization
for use of such contractors in accordance with Paragraph 3 ("Prior Approval of
Contractors") below) who (i) require access thereto for a purpose authorized by
this Agreement, (ii) have signed an employee or contractor agreement in which
such employee or contractor agrees to protect third party confidential
information and (iii) have received a notice of confidentiality prior to access
to Adobe Support Information, and again upon any termination of such access,
that contains at a minimum provisions substantially in accordance with the
following:

     "Recipient has previously signed an agreement with Adobe Support
     Information Recipient pursuant to which Recipient has agreed to maintain
     the confidentiality of confidential information of Adobe Support
     Information Recipient and its suppliers (the `Confidential Information')
     and to use the Confidential Information solely for Adobe Support
     Information Recipient's benefit. The purpose of this notice is to apprise
     Recipient that Recipient will be receiving certain proprietary information
     of Adobe, including internal source code, interface specifications and
     related documentation for the PostScript software and related Adobe
     information, all of which is of a confidential nature and which contains
     valuable trade secrets, know-how, and proprietary information of Adobe (the
     `Adobe Support Information') and which constitutes Confidential Information
     under Recipient's agreement with Adobe Support Information Recipient.

                                      N-1-1

<PAGE>

     This is to inform Recipient that the Adobe Support Information cannot be
     used for any purpose except for the specific purposes which Adobe Support
     Information Recipient or Adobe authorize in writing and that Recipient is
     not authorized to disclose the Adobe Support Information to any person at
     any time except to employees of Adobe and to those Authorized Employees and
     Authorized Contractors which Adobe Support Information Recipient informs
     Recipient are authorized to receive such Adobe Support Information.

     All materials including, without limitation, programs, recorded
     information, documents, drawings, models, apparatus, sketches, designs, and
     lists furnished to Recipient by Adobe Support Information Recipient or
     Adobe which are designated in writing to be the property of Adobe remain
     the property of Adobe and must be returned to Adobe promptly at its
     request, together with any copies or modifications thereof."

     Adobe Support Information Recipient agrees that any breach by any
     Authorized Employees and Authorized Contractors of their obligations under
     such confidentiality agreements shall also constitute a breach by Peerless
     or, if the Adobe Support Information Recipient is an OEM Customer, a breach
     under the Peerless OEM Agreement or LOA, as applicable, between Peerless
     and the OEM Customer or, if the Adobe Support Information Recipient is a
     Third Party Developer, a breach under the Development Agreement between
     Peerless and the Third Party Developer."

     3.   PRIOR APPROVAL OF CONTRACTORS. Notwithstanding the provisions in this
Exhibit permitting Authorized Contractors to have access to Adobe Support
Information, Adobe Support Information Recipient may not permit a contractor to
come into contact with Adobe Support Information, or engage in the development
of Licensed Products hereunder unless Adobe Support Information Recipient has
first obtained such authorization in writing from Adobe. Adobe, in its sole
discretion, may withhold such approval in the event that a contractor (or
contractor's employer) to whom Adobe Support Information Recipient intends to
disclose Adobe Support Information is engaged in Clone Product development,
either for its own benefit or for the benefit of a third party, or if Adobe
believes that the contractor may be engaged in similar product development, and
Adobe Support Information Recipient cannot assure Adobe to its satisfaction that
contractor, while engaged in supporting such development activities, will be
able to refrain from commingling or sharing any portion of the Adobe Support
Information with any such Clone Product development.

supplied to Peerless either by marking the Adobe Restricted Information that is
provided to Peerless or by designating those portions of the Adobe Confidential
Information which are Adobe Restricted Information in an Appendix, materials
release form or in some other written or electronic form. Once identified by
Adobe as containing Adobe Restricted Information, any information derived from
such Adobe Restricted Information, whether in oral or written form, shall be
treated by Peerless as Adobe Restricted Information. Peerless shall ensure that
all such Adobe Restricted Information received from Adobe, and copies made
thereof, will be properly marked or otherwise appropriately identified as Adobe
Restricted Information before being made available to Authorized Employees of
Peerless hereunder.

          3.2  Peerless agrees that it will not (i) reproduce any portion of any

Authorized Employee may have violated his or her obligations under such
confidentiality agreements, Peerless agrees to comply with Adobe's request to
provide Adobe with copies of its list and updates thereto and all such
confidentiality agreements entered into by Peerless with its Authorized
Employees and not previously provided to Adobe. In addition, at any time an
Authorized Employee who has had access to Adobe Restricted Information leaves
the employ of Peerless, Peerless will promptly provide Adobe with the name of
such Authorized Employee.

     5.   ACCESS TO WRITTEN ADOBE RESTRICTED INFORMATION. Access to any written
or tangible Adobe Restricted Information shall be controlled through the
following procedures:

          5.1  Peerless shall maintain only one (1) master copy of the tangible
Adobe Restricted Information. Each subsequent copy must have an assigned unique
serial number attached thereto which identifies it as an authorized copy, and
each copy must be marked as "Adobe Restricted Information - Unauthorized Copying
Prohibited" as well.

          5.2  Peerless shall control access to all copies of the tangible Adobe
Restricted Information by maintaining a log of which copy, identified by its

      3.1    Calculating Adobe's Share of Block License Payments.

             3.1.1  Overview. Peerless shall pay Adobe the applicable royalties
for any distribution or internal use by an OEM Customer of the Adobe Software in
Revised Object form based upon and calculated in accordance with the
requirements and schedules set forth in this Paragraph and in Paragraph 3.2
("Calculating Actual Licensed System Royalties Payable to Adobe") below. To
understand the Adobe pricing model as it pertains to Peerless requires an
understanding of how Peerless structures the payment of the royalties that it
charges its OEM Customers for distribution of Licensed Systems.

             3.1.2  Block Licenses. Peerless offers both turn-key and SDK
solutions under the terms of a Peerless OEM Agreement, as supplemented by an
applicable Licensed System Appendix ("LSA") to cover a specific OEM Customer
product (the "Licensed System"). The applicable LSA describes all of the
intellectual property supplied by Peerless ("Peerless IP") for use in the
Licensed System. *. Peerless' method of licensing Peerless IP is through a
mechanism known as a "Block License". Under the Block License OEM Customer
agrees to pay Peerless an agreed upon amount, as specified in the LSA, in
advance of actual distribution of the applicable Licensed System. These Block
License payments are treated as a credit to be used to satisfy actual earned
royalties for Licensed Systems distributed by the OEM Customer under the LSA.
The royalties actually earned by Peerless are determined on the basis of an
agreed upon amount to be paid by the OEM Customer for the Peerless IP (i.e., all
of the IP supplied by Peerless to the OEM Customer *) incorporated into each
such unit of the Licensed System that is distributed by the OEM Customer.

* Confidential treatment has been requested for portions of this exhibit. The

          3.1.3   Adobe's Share of the Block License Payments. Under this
Agreement, Adobe is entitled to receive * of the Gross Receipts (excluded from
the term "Gross Receipts" is that portion of the receipts attributable to the
OEM Customer's use of *) earned by Peerless (or such greater amount as specified
in Paragraph 3.2 ("Calculating Actual Licensed System Royalties Payable to
Adobe") for Licensed Systems distributed by an OEM Customer. The Block License
payments are being treated as Gross Receipts recognized under Paragraph 8.12
("When Royalties Earned") of the Agreement as earned when paid to Peerless by
the OEM Customer and therefore, Adobe is entitled to receive an amount equal to
* of the portion of the Block License payments attributable to *. The following
illustrates how the apportioning of the Peerless IP elements in a Licensed
System provides a basis for calculating Adobe's proportionate share of the Block
License payments to be paid by Peerless to Adobe hereunder.

          Example: Peerless and OEM Customer agree upon a Block License Payment
          of $2M (payable over four quarters) *

          *

          In this example Peerless would pay Adobe four quarterly payments each
          in the amount of *.

                  3.1.4  Block License Payment Adjustments. *

          3.2     Calculating Actual Licensed System Royalties Payable to Adobe.
The payment provisions as set forth below describe the methodology for
calculating the royalties to be paid to Adobe by Peerless for Licensed Systems
distributed by OEM Customers during the applicable accounting period. If the
payments made to Adobe under Paragraph 3.1 are less than the actual royalties
owed to Adobe as determined * Peerless shall pay Adobe the difference at the end
of the then current accounting period to satisfy all such underpayment.
