with the terms of this Section 2-5) and the escrow agent shall not disclose the
Escrowed Materials to Xerox except pursuant to this Section 2.5. All costs
associated with the escrow, including any fees of the escrow agent, shall be
borne by Xerox. In the event one of the events set forth below occurs, Xerox
may, at its option, notify the escrow agent of such event and request the
release of the Escrowed Materials to Xerox. Xerox shall simultaneously notify
JetFax pursuant to Section 14.1 1 of this Agreement of such notification to the
escrow agent, specifying the basis upon which such request for the release of
the Escrowed Materials is based. In addition, the escrow agent shall notify
JetFax of the Xerox request for the release of the Escrowed Materials. The
escrow agent shall, only after ten (1 0) calendar days have passed from the date
Xerox' notice to JetFax hereunder is given (pursuant' to Section 14.11 of this
Agreement), release the Escrowed Materials to Xerox unless such action is
prohibited by order of a court of competent jurisdiction. The only events which
shall entitle Xerox to request the release of the Escrowed Materials are as
follows: (i) JetFax ceases to support and maintain the Software and Hardware
Designs as required pursuant to the terms of Section 4.4 of this Agreement and
such failure remains uncured for a period of sixty (60) days after written
notice thereof from Xerox, or (ii) the specified items of the Software or
Hardware Designs listed on the Project Schedule to be performed by JetFax fail
to be accepted pursuant to Section 4.2(a) and (b) within 90 days of the
applicable due date therefor set forth in the Project Schedule due primarily to
the failure of JetFax to perform its obligations under this Agreement, or (iii)
JetFax grants its prior written consent to such release, or (iv) if a Petition
is filed by or against JetFax under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Act of the
United States and such Petition is not discontinued, vacated or terminated
within sixty (60) days. Xerox shall use such released Escrowed Materials solely
for the purpose of maintenance, support and production of the Product, or, in
the event subparagraph (ii) of this Section 2.5 shall occur, for the purpose of
maintenance, support and production and Xerox completion of development (with or
without the assistance of other parties) of a replacement product for the
partially completed Product and for the uses stated in the second paragraph of
Section 5.1 (b). Any Xerox use of the Escrowed Materials will be subject at all
times to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. JetFax agrees to update and
maintain monthly the Escrowed Materials held in safekeeping by the selected
Escrow Agent to reflect all changes made to the Escrowed Materials pursuant to
the terms of this Agreement.
2.6 Marketing. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, or in the
---------
Supply Agreement of even date herewith by and between Xerox and JetFax (the
"Supply Agreement"), both parties shall be free to market their own respective
versions of the Product (or permitted private label versions of same) through
such marketing channels and in such countries as each party shall independently
determine.
3. DESIGN REVIEW AND SPECIFICATION CHANGES
3.1 Design Review. The parties agree to conduct regular program reviews as
-------------
shown on the agreed Project Schedule set forth on Exhibit D to this Agreement,
to ensure their mutual satisfaction with the performance under the Agreement.
Upon reasonable notice, the parties agree to meet at a mutually agreeable time
and
5
location to review and discuss the status of the development of the Product.
The parties further agree to promptly meet at the request of either party with
respect to any material issues a party may have with the performance of the
other party of its obligations under this Agreement.
3.2 Changes to the Specification. Each party is entitled to request
----------------------------
modifications in the form of changes or additions to the Specifications at any
time during the term of this Agreement. Such requests shall be submitted in
writing, and shall not be deemed or considered binding unless accepted by the
other party in writing. If any such modification of the Specifications is
agreed, the parties will negotiate an equitable adjustment to the Agreement,
including the apportionment of any additional development, testing or tooling
costs. Upon mutual agreement to any change to the Specifications, both parties
will proceed with the implementation of the prescribed changes, and the
Specifications and other Exhibits to the Agreement shall be modified accordingly
to reflect such agreed upon changes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the
JetFax requested changes to the Specifications involve any change to the Printer
Mechanism, the design responsibility for which is with third parties under
contract with Xerox, Xerox shall use reasonable efforts to effect such
Specification change provided that the same does not increase the cost of such
Printer Mechanism or component thereof, or adversely and materially affect the
Project Schedule or function of the Printer Mechanism, the Product or components
thereof. In such event JetFax shall be responsible for the payment of all
nonrecurring expenses involved in such change (or such pro rata portion thereof,
in the further event Xerox elects to incorporate the same in its version of the
Product). Notwithstanding the foregoing, JetFax shall not be responsible for
any such nonrecurring expenses if JetFax requested changes are necessary for the
Product to achieve Product Acceptance or to meet the Specification as changed at
the request of Xerox. In the event such third party will not agree to such
Specification change, Xerox shall so notify JetFax and Xerox shall have no other
or further liability to JetFax as a result of such request.
3.3 Modification to Specifications. JetFax and Xerox agree that upon
------------------------------
acceptance of each Deliverable pursuant to Section 4.2 and upon Product
Acceptance the Specifications shall be modified as necessary to conform to the
Deliverables and the Product, as applicable, as accepted, excepting mutually
agreed (in writing) deviations from the Specification which require additional
development work to achieve conformance to the Specification. After and upon
acceptance of each Deliverable pursuant to Section 4.2 and after and upon
Product Acceptance, the term "Specifications" as used herein shall refer in all
cases to the Specifications as so modified.
4. DELIVERABLES AND DELIVERY; ACCEPTANCE; AND REJECTION

the other party in writing; or (ii) if the Deliverable (or item thereof contains
material Errors, reject the Deliverable (or item thereof and provide the other
party with a written statement of such material Errors. The failure of a party
to respond within the specified fifteen (15) day period shall be deemed
acceptance of the Deliverable (or item thereof, but shall not limit the
provisions of Section 4.4 hereof. Either party may request a reasonable
extension in the time to complete such testing if the same is required under the
circumstances, and both parties shall reasonably consider such requests,

to a customer or other third party other than solely for test purposes. The date
of such Product Acceptance shall be deemed the "date of Product Acceptance."
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Product Acceptance
shall not be conditioned upon any design or development of the JetFax
Deliverables to meet any criteria of any agency approvals other than those of
the United States or Canada.
(d) The parties further agree that in the event a dispute arises as to whether
any Deliverable (or item thereof is acceptable under the procedure set forth in

shall test such Deliverable (or
7
item thereof and determine if such Deliverable (or item thereof is acceptable as
set forth in Sections 4.2(a) and 4.2(b). The determination of such independent
third party shall as to the acceptance or rejection of any Deliverable (or item
thereof, be deemed final. The cost, if any, of employing such independent third
party shall be borne by the losing party.
4.3 Rejection. Should any Deliverable fail to be accepted after the third
---------
delivery of that Deliverable pursuant to Section 4.2(b) then the parties shall
promptly meet in accordance with Section 3.1 to resolve the problem. Any
subsequent rejection of the same Deliverable (unless otherwise resolved pursuant
to Section 4.2(d)) shall be deemed a breach of this Agreement by such delivering
party, and the non-breaching party may elect to terminate this Agreement
pursuant to Section 1 1.1 (a) hereof, or may elect to accept further
resubmission of the applicable Deliverable.
4.4 Error Fixes. JetFax shall at its expense, from the Effective Date
-----------
until the date that is eighteen (18) months from the date of Product Acceptance,

upon the other party successfully providing any prerequisite Deliverable (as
specified in the Project Schedule) in a timely fashion in accordance with the
Specifications for same. All Deliverables shall be delivered by the times set
forth in the Project Schedule and stated dates are date of delivery unless
otherwise specified. The parties shall use such Deliverables for testing and
acceptance and marketing purposes only and shall not sell, lease or transfer the
same to any third party.
4.2 Acceptance.
----------
(a) Each party, with the reasonable assistance of the other party if requested,
will examine and test each respective Deliverable (and/or item thereof) as
specified on the Project Schedule of the other party upon delivery. Each
receiving party shall, as soon as reasonably practicable following the
delivery of same, but in no event later than fifteen (15) business days
offer receipt of notice of delivery: (i) accept the Deliverable (or item
thereof) and so inform the other party in writing; or (ii) if the
Deliverable (or item thereof) contains material Errors, reject f he
Deliverable (or item thereof) and provide the other party with a written
statement of such material Errors. The failure of a party to respond
within the specified fifteen (15) day period shall be deemed acceptance of
the Deliverable (or item thereof), but shall not limit the provisions of
Section 4.4 hereof. Either party may request a reasonable extension in the
time to complete such testing if the same is required under the
circumstances, and both parties shall reasonably consider such requests,
provided that no such extension shall be effective unless in writing and
signed by a duly authorized representative of the party granting such
extension.
(b) The developing party will promptly correct the material Errors set forth in
the statement of material Errors with respect to any Deliverable (or item
thereof) and redeliver the Deliverable (or item thereof) to the receiving
party within such reasonable period of time as may be agreed upon by JetFax
and Xerox with regard to all circumstances affecting the Product or the
Deliverables. The receiving party shall, as soon as reasonably practicable
after such redelivery but in no event later than fifteen (15) business days
thereafter, accept or reject the redelivery in accordance with the
procedure set forth in Section 4.2(a), which procedure shall be repeated
until the Deliverables are accepted or the receiving party invokes the
provisions of Section 4.3 hereof.
(c) "Acceptance" shall be deemed to occur upon the earlier of (i) acceptance,
pursuant to this Section 4.2, of all JetFax and Xerox Deliverables (as
specified in the Project Schedule) or (ii) the first sale, lease, license
or other distribution or transfer of a unit of Product by Xerox to a
customer or other third party other than solely for test purposes. The
date of such Acceptance shall be deemed the "date of Acceptance."
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Acceptance shall
not be conditioned upon any
6
design or development of the JetFax Deliverables to meet any criteria of any
agency approvals other than those of the United States or Canada.
(d) The parties further agree that in the event a dispute arises as to whether
any Deliverable (or item thereof) is acceptable under the procedure set
forth in Sections 4.2(a) and 4.2(b), and the parties are unable after good
----
faith negotiation to resolve such dispute, the parties agree to submit the
acceptability of any such Deliverable (or item thereof) to Genoa
Technology, Inc., or other independent third party mutually acceptable to
the parties, who shall test such Deliverable (or item thereof) and
determine if such Deliverable (or item thereof) is acceptable as set forth
in Sections 4.2(a) and 4.2(b). The determination of such independent third
party shall as to the acceptance or rejection of any Deliverable (or item
thereof), be deemed final. The cost, if any, of employing such independent
third party shall be borne by f he losing party.
4.3 Rejection. Should any Deliverable fail to be accepted after the final
delivery of that Deliverable pursuant to Section 4.2(b) then the parties shall
promptly meet in accordance with Section 3.1 to resolve the problem. Any
subsequent rejection of the same Deliverable (unless otherwise resolved pursuant
to Section 4.2(d)) shall be deemed a breach of this Agreement by such delivering
party, and the non-breaching party may elect to terminate this Agreement
pursuant to Section ll.l(a) hereof, or may elect to accept further resubmission
of the applicable Deliverable.
4.4 Error Fixes. JetFax shall at its expense, from the Effective Date
until the date that is eighteen (18) months from the date of Acceptance, use its
reasonable efforts promptly to correct documented and reproducible material
Errors in the Software and Hardware Designs which are reported in writing by
Xerox to JetFax. Provided, however, that prior to Acceptance, this obligation
shall apply only to Deliverables (or items thereof) that have been delivered by
JetFax in accordance with the Project Schedule. Xerox shall provide such
assistance in correction as JetFax may reasonably request. All such corrections
to the Software and Hardware Designs shall be deemed to be included in the
licenses granted under Section 5.1 hereof, and copies of any such corrections
shall be promptly furnished in source code to the escrow agent set forth in
Section 2.5 of this Agreement. JetFax will have no obligation under this
Section 4.4 with respect to any Error in the Software or Hardware Designs caused
by any person or entity other than JetFax or its sources identified on the Bill
of Materials and Source List and JetFax is not obligated to correct any Errors
in the Software unless such Error or defect causes the Software to fail to
function in conformance with the Specifications as defined in Section 3.3
herein.

alleging that the Software and/or the Hardware Designs provided by JetFax
pursuant to this Agreement when used for their intended purposes in conjunction

rights of any third party; provided that (i) Xerox notifies JetFax in writing
within fifteen (15) business days of any claim, (ii) JetFax has sole control of
the defense and all related settlement negotiations and (iii) Xerox provides
JetFax with the assistance, information and authority necessary to perform the
above. Notwithstanding the foregoing, JetFax shall have no liability hereunder
for any claim or suit based on (i) modifications or other alterations made to
the Software or the Hardware Designs by a party other than by or for JetFax or
the combination, operation or use of the Software or the Hardware Designs with
other hardware or software not furnished or developed by or for JetFax if such
infringement would have been avoided by the use of the Software and the Hardware
Designs without such modification or alteration or without such other hardware
or software or (ii) any infringement or alleged infringement related to or
arising out of the User Interface (including, without limitation, the interface
to the User Interface software as set forth in Exhibit A) or the Xerox
Deliverables, or (iii) any infringement or alleged infringement of any
proprietary rights of third parties to the extent and for the time period and
activities such proprietary rights are licensed to Xerox. In the event that the
Software or the Hardware Designs are the subject of a claim of infringement for
which JetFax is liable under this Section 7.3(a), JetFax may at its option and
expense (i) modify the same to be non-infringing or (ii) obtain for Xerox a
license (and any royalties required to obtain such license shall be paid by
JetFax) to continue using the same. The provisions of this Section 7.3 state the
entire liability and obligations of JetFax and the exclusive remedy of Xerox

Xerox and that fact is disclosed by Xerox to JetFax (and Xerox shall
promptly disclose such fact to JetFax) along
13
with Product information reasonably needed by JetFax to conduct its right to use
study (and Xerox shall promptly disclose such information to Jet Fax);
(ii) JetFax identifies unlicensed third party patent(s) which JetFax
reasonably believes will be infringed by use by or for Xerox or its customers of
the Jet Fax Deliverables when used in conjunction with the Product and JetFax
clearly identifies in writing (including patent or application numbers and issue
or filing dates respectively) to Xerox any such patent(s); then the parties
agree as follows. If JetFax is unable to promptly obtain a license under such
patents on reasonable terms (and any royalties or other payments required to
obtain such license shall be paid by JetFax) and the parties are unable to
reasonably design around such patent(s); then the parties shall meet to further
work in good faith to resolve this problem. In the event such resolution cannot
be achieved within one (1) month after the parties first met to further work to
try to resolve the problem, such patent(s) shall be excluded from the indemnity
provided by JetFax in this Section 7.3; however, in such event Xerox shall have
the option to negotiate with JetFax (and JetFax will negotiate in good faith)
for a lower Section 6.2 royalty and/or cancel its Product activities.

be selected by the parties, the parties agree to use a mediator, skilled in the
technology and industry relating to the subject matter of this Agreement,
selected by the American Arbitration Association.
16.2 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.
16.3 CHOICE OF FORUM AND VENUE. All disputes arising under this Agreement
not resolved in accordance with Section 16.1 ("Dispute Resolution") above, shall
be brought in Superior Court of the State of California in Santa Clara County or
the Federal District Court of San Jose, California, as permitted by law. The
Superior Court of Santa Clara
18.
County and the Federal District Court of San Jose shall each have nonexclusive
jurisdiction over disputes under this Agreement. The parties consent to the
personal jurisdiction of the above courts.
16.4 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
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.
16.5 INJUNCTIVE RELIEF. It is understood and agreed that, notwithstanding
any other provisions of this Agreement, breach of the provisions regarding the
Scope of the Licenses granted in Section 2 ("License Grants") or protection of
Proprietary Information set forth in Section 9 ("Proprietary Rights") of this
Agreement by either party will cause the other irreparable damage for which
recovery of money damages would be inadequate, and that the damaged party shall
therefore be entitled to seek injunctive relief to protect its rights under this
Agreement in addition to any and all remedies available at law.
16.6 NO AGENCY. Nothing contained herein shall be construed as creating any
agency, partnership, or other form of joint enterprise between the parties.
16.7 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.
16.8 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.
16.9 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.
19.
16.10 HEADINGS. The section 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 section or in any way affect this
Agreement.
16.11 ASSIGNMENT. Either party shall have the right to assign its rights
and obligations pursuant to this Agreement to a successor entity in the event of
a merger or reorganization in which such party is not the surviving entity or to
a purchase of all or substantially all of its assets. Except as set forth
above, neither this Agreement nor any rights or obligations of either party
hereunder may be assigned in whole or in part without the prior written approval
of the non-assigning party.
16.12 EXPORT. HP acknowledges that the laws and regulations of the United
States restrict the export and re-export of commodities and technical data of
United States origin, including the JetFax Deliverables. HP agrees that it will
not export or re-export the JetFax Deliverables in any form, without the
appropriate United States and foreign governmental licenses. HP agrees that its
obligations pursuant to this Section shall survive and continue after any
termination or expiration of rights under this Agreement.
16.13 FULL POWER. Each party represents and warrants that it has full
power to enter into and perform this Agreement, and the person signing this
Agreement on each party's behalf has been duly authorized and empowered to enter
into this Agreement. Both parties further acknowledge that each has read this
Agreement, understands it and agrees to be bound by it.
16.14 CONFIDENTIAL AGREEMENT. Neither party will disclose any terms or the
existence of this Agreement except pursuant to a mutually agreeable press
release, with written consent of the other party, or as otherwise required by
law. However, in no event will a party be responsible for confirming the
veracity of statements made by the other party. If required to disclose any
aspect of this agreement by legal requirement such as subpoena or other legal
mandate, each party agrees to use best efforts in each such circumstance to
provide to the other, prior to such party's initial disclosure pursuant to such
legal requirement, a copy of the proposed disclosure (such proposed disclosure
may be a redacted version of this Agreement) showing such party's attempt to
limit, redact, excise and otherwise restrict the disclosure of sensitive
portions of this Agreement. The nondisclosing party shall then have seven (7)
calendar days to provide its suggested limitations, redactions and restrictions
to the disclosing party's draft disclosure. The disclosing party shall then in
good faith attempt to include those suggested limitation, redactions and
restrictions, wherever possible in its submission of the disclosure as required
by law, and thereafter in subsequent negotiations with the agency or entity to
which disclosure is made. If such disclosing party does not receive comments
from the non-disclosing party within the seven (7) day period, such submission
shall be deemed approved by the non-disclosing party.

16.15 COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in two
or more counterparts, each of which will be considered an original, but all of
which together will constitute one and the same instrument.
16.16 ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement together with the exhibits
completely and exclusively states the agreement of the parties regarding its
subject matter. It supersedes, and its terms govern, all prior proposals,
agreements, or other communications between the parties, oral or written,
regarding such subject matter. This Agreement shall not be changed or modified
except through written mutual agreement signed by officers or program managers
of the parties, and any provision or a purchase order purporting to supplement
or vary the provisions hereof shall be void. Notwithstanding the above, the
parties agree that the specifications described in EXHIBIT A ("HP Product
Technical System Specification") largely reflect the requirements as understood
by the parties on January 7, 1997. However, as the development project
progresses, the parties shall, from time to time and by written mutual agreement
signed by officers or program managers, update such specifications to reflect
any changes and shall consider the impact on cost, schedule and performance.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to
be executed as of the Effective Date by their duly authorized representatives.
