deceptive or misleading, which ridicules or is derogatory to the Licensed Marks,


                                       8

jeopardize or limit Pitney Bowes' proprietary interest therein.

     (b) Imagistics shall not use the Licensed Marks, the Licensed Copyrights,

or Authorized Dealer promptly to remedy any failure, (ii) terminating such
agreement and/or (iii) commencing legal action, in each case, using a standard
of care consistent with Pitney Bowes' practices as of the Distribution Date. In
the event that Pitney Bowes determines that Imagistics has failed promptly and
diligently to enforce the terms of any such agreement using such standard of
care, Pitney Bowes reserves the right to enforce such terms, and Imagistics
shall reimburse Pitney Bowes for its fully allocated direct costs and expenses
incurred in enforcing such agreement, plus all out-of-pocket costs and expenses.

all Imagistics Business Products and Collateral Materials of Imagistics, its

not complying with any Trademark Usage Guidelines, it shall notify Pitney Bowes
and the provisions of Article 6 and Section 4.03 shall apply to such
noncompliance.

     Section 6.01. Initial Guideline Cure Period. If Pitney Bowes becomes aware
that Imagistics or any Subsidiary, Authorized Dealer or Authorized Manufacturer
is not complying with any Trademark Usage Guidelines, Pitney Bowes shall notify
Imagistics in writing, setting forth in reasonable detail a written description
of the noncompliance and any requested action for curing such noncompliance.
Imagistics shall then have sixty (60) days with regard to noncompliance by
Authorized Dealers or Authorized Manufacturers and thirty


                                       12


(30) days with regard to noncompliance by Imagistics or any Subsidiary after
receipt of such notice ("Initial Guideline Cure Period") to correct such
noncompliance or submit to Pitney Bowes a written plan to correct such
noncompliance which written plan is reasonably acceptable to Pitney Bowes.

     Section 6.02. Second Guideline Cure Period. If noncompliance with the
Trademark Usage Guidelines continues beyond the Initial Guideline Cure Period,
Imagistics and Pitney Bowes shall each promptly appoint a representative to
negotiate in good faith actions that may be necessary to correct such
noncompliance. The parties shall have thirty (30) days following the expiration
of the Initial Guideline Cure Period to agree on corrective actions, and
Imagistics shall have thirty (30) days from the date of an agreement of
corrective actions, but not more than sixty (60) days following expiration of
the Initial Guideline Cure Period, to implement such corrective actions and cure
or cause the cure of such noncompliance ("Second Guideline Cure Period"). In the
event that the parties fail to agree on corrective actions within thirty (30)
days following the expiration of the Initial Guideline Cure Period, the
appointed representatives of Pitney Bowes and Imagistics shall submit to the
Operating Committee (as defined in the Transition Services Agreement) a
description of the noncompliance. The Operating Committee shall attempt to
determine and implement corrective actions. The Operating Committee, in
accordance with the procedures set forth in the Transition Services Agreement,
shall attempt to determine and implement the necessary corrective actions (as
determined by it). 

     Section 6.03. Final Guideline Cure Period. If the noncompliance with the
Trademark Usage Guideline remains uncured, including for failure to agree on
corrective actions after the expiration of the Second Guideline Cure Period,
then at Pitney Bowes' election, Imagistics, or the noncomplying Subsidiary or
Authorized Dealer or Authorized Manufacturer, whichever is applicable, promptly
shall cease using the noncomplying Collateral Materials until Pitney Bowes
determines that Imagistics, or the noncomplying Subsidiary, Authorized Dealer or
Authorized Manufacturer, whichever is applicable, has demonstrated its ability
and commitment to comply with the Trademark Usage Guidelines. If, within thirty
(30) days following the expiration of the Second Guideline Cure Period, the
noncompliance with the Trademark Usage Guidelines remains uncured for any
reason, Pitney Bowes may elect to terminate license of the Licensed Mark giving
rise to such noncompliance. Nothing in this Article 6 shall be deemed to limit
Imagistics' obligations under Section 4.03 above or to preclude Pitney Bowes
from exercising any rights or remedies under Section 4.03 above.

no more than three (3) times during the term of this Agreement and no more than
one (1) time in any six (6)-month period; provided that if Imagistics is not
meeting the Quality Standards with respect to the Imagistics Business Products,
or if any survey conducted pursuant to this Agreement discloses any Quality
Standards problem for any reason, then Pitney Bowes shall have the option to
conduct any additional surveys or take investigative and/or corrective action as
in its judgment shall be necessary or appropriate to resolve the problem,
consistent with the terms of this Agreement, including but not limited to
Article 8. Any such surveys shall be provided to Imagistics by Pitney Bowes for
Imagistics' review and comment at least thirty (30) days prior to Pitney Bowes'
distribution of the surveys to any customer. Imagistics shall not have any
approval or other rights in connection with any survey. Imagistics shall

customer surveys used by Pitney Bowes to determine if Imagistics is meeting the
Quality Standards. If Imagistics is notified or determines that it or any of its
Subsidiaries Authorized Dealers or Authorized Manufacturers is not complying
with any Quality Standards, it shall notify Pitney Bowes and the provisions of
Article 8 and Section 4.03 shall apply to such noncompliance.

     Section 8.01. Initial Quality Standard Cure Period. If Pitney Bowes becomes
aware that Imagistics or any Subsidiary or Authorized Dealer sublicensee is not
complying with any Quality Standards, Pitney Bowes shall notify Imagistics in
writing, setting forth in reasonable detail a written description of the
noncompliance and any requested action for curing such noncompliance. Imagistics
shall then have thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice ("Initial Quality
Standard Cure Period") to correct such noncompliance or submit to Pitney Bowes a

determined by it).

     Section 8.03. Final Quality Standard Cure Period. If the noncompliance with
the Quality Standards remains uncured, including for failure to agree on
corrective actions, after the expiration of the Second Quality Standard Cure
Period, then at Pitney Bowes' election, Imagistics, or the noncomplying


                                       15


Subsidiary or Authorized Dealer, whichever is applicable, promptly shall cease
offering the noncomplying Imagistics Business Products under the Licensed Marks
until Pitney Bowes determines that Imagistics, or the noncomplying Subsidiary or
Authorized Dealer, whichever is applicable, has demonstrated its ability and

                             AND LICENSED TECHNOLOGY

     Section 9.01. Ownership and Rights. To the extent not contrary to
applicable law, Imagistics agrees not to challenge the ownership or validity of
the Licensed Marks, the Licensed Copyrights, the Licensed Patents or the
Licensed Technology or contest the fact that Imagistics' rights are only those

Licensed Technology. Imagistics shall not disparage, dilute or, to the extent

Marks, the Licensed Copyrights, the Licensed Patents or the Licensed Technology.
Imagistics' use of the Licensed Marks and the goodwill associated therewith
shall inure exclusively to the benefit of Pitney Bowes, and Imagistics shall not
acquire or assert any rights in the Licensed Marks, the Licensed Copyrights, the

     Section 9.02. Protection of Licensed Marks, Licensed Copyrights, Licensed
Patents and the Licensed Technology. Imagistics shall assist Pitney Bowes, at
Pitney Bowes' request and expense, in the procurement and maintenance of Pitney
Bowes' intellectual property rights in the Licensed Marks, the Licensed
Copyrights, Licensed Patents and the Licensed Technology. Imagistics will not
grant or attempt to grant a security interest in the Licensed Marks, the
Licensed Copyrights, the Licensed Patents or the Licensed Technology, or to
record any such security interest in the United States Patent and Trademark
Office or elsewhere, against any trademark application or registration belonging

all documents reasonably requested by Pitney Bowes to effect further


                                       16

Copyrights, the Licensed Patents and the Licensed Technology, recordation of the
license relationship between Pitney Bowes and Imagistics, and recordation of

representation that trademark or patent registrations have been or will be
applied for, secured or maintained in the Licensed Marks, the Licensed
Copyrights, the Licensed Patents or the Licensed Technology throughout, or
anywhere within, the world. Imagistics shall cause to appear on all Imagistics
Business Products, and all Collateral Materials, such legends, markings and
notices as may be required by applicable law or reasonably requested by Pitney
Bowes.

     Section 9.03. Similar Marks, Copyrights and Patents. Imagistics agrees not
to use, register or attempt to register in any country any Mark, Copyright or
Patent that infringes upon or violates Pitney Bowes' rights in the Licensed
Marks, the Licensed Copyrights, the Licensed Patents or the Licensed Technology,
or any element thereof. If any application for registration is, or has been,
filed in any country by Imagistics which relates to any Mark, Copyright or
Patent that infringes upon or violates Pitney Bowes' rights in the Licensed
Marks, the Licensed Copyrights, the Licensed Patents or the Licensed Technology,
Imagistics shall immediately abandon any such application or registration or
assign it to Pitney Bowes. To the extent not contrary to applicable law,
Imagistics shall not challenge Pitney Bowes' ownership of or the validity of the
Licensed Marks, the Licensed Copyrights, the Licensed Patents and the Licensed
Technology or any application for registration thereof throughout the world.

copyright, domain name or any other intellectual property right, whether
recognized currently or in the future, or other designation which would affect
the ownership or rights of Pitney Bowes in and to the Licensed Marks, the
Licensed Copyrights, the Licensed Patents and the Licensed Technology, or
otherwise to take any action which would adversely affect any of such ownership
rights, or assist anyone else in doing so. Imagistics shall cause its
Subsidiaries, Authorized Dealers and Authorized Manufacturers to comply with the
provisions of this Section 9.03.

     Section 9.04. Infringement Proceedings. In the event that the Imagistics
General Counsel learns of any infringement or violation or threatened
infringement or violation of the Licensed Marks, the Licensed Copyrights, the
Licensed Patents or the Licensed Technology, or any unfair competition,
passing-off or dilution with respect to the Licensed Marks, the Licensed
Copyrights, the Licensed Patents or the Licensed Technology, Imagistics shall
notify Pitney Bowes or its authorized representative giving particulars thereof,
and Imagistics shall provide necessary information and assistance to Pitney
Bowes or its authorized representatives at Pitney Bowes' expense in the event
that Pitney Bowes decides that proceedings should be commenced. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, Imagistics is not obligated to monitor or police use of the
Licensed


                                       17


Marks, the Licensed Copyrights, the Licensed Patents and the Licensed Technology
by Third Parties other than as specifically set forth in Section 4.03. Pitney
Bowes shall have exclusive control of any litigation, opposition, cancellation
or related legal proceedings, relating to the use of the Licensed Marks by Third
Parties. The decision whether to bring, maintain or settle any such proceedings
shall be at the exclusive option and expense of Pitney Bowes, and all recoveries
shall belong exclusively to Pitney Bowes. Imagistics shall not and shall have no
right to initiate any such litigation, opposition, cancellation or related legal
proceedings in its own name, but, at Pitney Bowes' request, agrees to be joined
as a party in any action taken by Pitney Bowes to enforce its rights in the
Licensed Marks, the Licensed Copyrights, the Licensed Patents or the Licensed
Technology. Pitney Bowes shall incur no liability to Imagistics or any other
Person under any legal theory by reason of Pitney Bowes' failure or refusal to
prosecute or by Pitney Bowes' refusal to permit Imagistics to prosecute, any
alleged infringement or violation by Third Parties, nor by reason of any
settlement to which Pitney Bowes may agree. In the event that Pitney Bowes
requests that Imagistics be joined as a party in any action taken by Pitney
Bowes to enforce its rights in the Licensed Marks, the Licensed Copyrights, the
Licensed Patents or the Licensed Technology, Pitney Bowes shall provide outside
counsel and pay Imagistics' expenses related to any such action; provided that
Imagistics shall be responsible for the fees of any separate outside legal
counsel or other attorneys' fees or other expenses.

     Section 10.01. General. For the term of this Agreement and for five years
after the termination or expiration of this Agreement, each party shall retain
the other party's Confidential Information in the strictest confidence (on a
need to know basis) and shall not disclose such Confidential Information to any
Person without the other party's express written consent, other than on a
need-to-know basis to an employee, agent or professional advisor of the
receiving party or an Affiliate thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Agreement, the obligation to maintain the confidentiality of
Confidential Information shall not apply to the extent that the receiving party
is required to disclose such Confidential Information pursuant to Law or legally
enforceable order of a court or judicial body; provided that the receiving party
provides notice to the disclosing party to enable the disclosing party to seek a
protective order or an injunction.

the Pitney Bowes Indemnities arising out of the use of any Licensed Mark,
Licensed Copyright, Licensed Patent or Licensed Technology by Imagistics or any
of its Subsidiaries, Authorized Dealers or its customers or Authorized
Manufacturers or its customers.

     Section 11.02. Insurance; Third Party Obligations; Tax Benefits. Any
indemnification pursuant to Section 11.01 shall be paid net of the amount of any
insurance or other amounts that would be payable by any Third Party to the
Indemnified Party (as defined below) in the absence of this Agreement
(irrespective of time of receipt of such insurance or other amounts) and net of
any tax benefit to the Indemnified Party attributable to the relevant payment or
Liability. Such indemnification shall be increased to reflect any tax liability
of the Indemnified Party so that the Indemnified Party receives 100% of the
after-tax amount of any payment or liability. It is expressly agreed that no
insurer or any other Third Party shall be (i) entitled to a benefit it would not
be entitled to receive in the absence of the foregoing indemnification
provisions, (ii) relieved of the responsibility to pay any claims to which it is
obligated or (iii) entitled to any subrogation rights with respect to any
obligation hereunder.

     Section 11.03. Notice and Payment of Claims. If any Pitney Bowes Indemnitee
(the "Indemnified Party") determines that it is or may be entitled to
indemnification by any party (the "Indemnifying Party") under Article 11 (other
than in connection with any Action subject to Section 11.04), the Indemnified
Party shall deliver to the Indemnifying Party a written notice specifying, to
the extent reasonably practicable, the basis for its claim for indemnification
and the amount for which the Indemnified Party reasonably believes it is
entitled to be indemnified. If the Indemnifying Party has not responded within
thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice, the Indemnified Party shall
deliver a second notice to the within ten (10) days of the expiration of the
original thirty (30)-day period. Within thirty (30) days after receipt of any
second notice, the Indemnifying Party shall pay the Indemnified Party such
amount in cash or other immediately available funds unless the Indemnifying
Party objects to the claim for indemnification or the amount thereof. If the
Indemnifying Party does not give the Indemnified Party written notice objecting
to such indemnity claim and setting forth the grounds therefor within such
thirty (30)-day period, the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party
an additional notice of its claim for indemnification and if the Indemnifying
Party does not give the Indemnified Party written notice objecting to such claim
within ten (10) days after receipt of such


                                       19


notice the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have acknowledged its liability
for such claim and the Indemnified Party may exercise any and all of its rights
under applicable law to collect such amount. In the event of such a timely
objection by the Indemnifying Party, the amount, if any, that is Finally
Determined to be required to be paid by the Indemnifying Party in respect of
such indemnity claim shall be paid by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified
Party in cash within fifteen (15) days after such indemnity claim has been so
Finally Determined.

     Section 11.04. Notice and Defense of Third-Party Claims. Promptly following
the earlier of (i) receipt of notice of the commencement by a third party of any
Action against or otherwise involving any Indemnified Party or (ii) receipt of
information from a third party alleging the existence of a claim against an
Indemnified Party, in either case, with respect to which indemnification may be
sought pursuant to this Agreement (a "Third-Party Claim"), the Indemnified Party
shall give the Indemnifying Party written notice thereof. The failure of the
Indemnified Party to give notice as provided in this Article 11 shall not
relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Agreement, except
to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced by such failure to give
notice. Within thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice, the Indemnifying
Party may (i) by giving written notice thereof to the Indemnified Party,
acknowledge liability for such indemnification claim and at its option elect to
assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim at its sole cost and expense or
(ii) object to the claim for indemnification set forth in the notice delivered
by the Indemnified Party pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 11.04;
provided that if the Indemnifying Party does not within such thirty (30)-day
period give the Indemnified Party written notice objecting to such
indemnification claim and setting forth the grounds therefor, the Indemnified
Party shall give the Indemnifying Party an additional notice of its claim for
indemnification and if the Indemnifying Party does not give the Indemnified
Party written notice objecting to such claim within ten (10) days after receipt
of such notice the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have acknowledged its
liability for such indemnification claim. If the Indemnifying Party has elected
to assume the defense of a Third-Party Claim, (x) the defense shall be conducted
by counsel retained by the Indemnifying Party and reasonably satisfactory to the
Indemnified Party, provided that the Indemnified Party shall have the right to
participate in such proceedings and to be represented by counsel of its own
choosing at the Indemnified Party's sole cost and expense; and (y) the
Indemnifying Party may settle or compromise the Third Party Claim without the
prior written consent of the Indemnified Party so long as such settlement
includes an unconditional release of the Indemnified Party from all claims that
are the subject of such Third Party Claim, provided that the Indemnifying Party
may not agree to any such settlement pursuant to which any remedy or relief,
other than monetary damages for which the Indemnifying Party shall be
responsible hereunder, shall be applied to or against the Indemnified Party,
without the prior


                                       20


written consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld. If the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense of
a Third-Party Claim for which it has acknowledged liability for indemnification
hereunder, the Indemnified Party may require the Indemnifying Party to reimburse
it on a current basis for its reasonable expenses of investigation, reasonable
attorneys' fees and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in defending
against such Third-Party Claim and the Indemnifying Party shall be bound by the
result obtained with respect thereto by the Indemnified Party; provided that the
Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement effected without its
consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Indemnifying
Party shall pay to the Indemnified Party in cash the amount, if any, for which
the Indemnified Party is entitled to be indemnified hereunder within fifteen
(15) days after such Third Party Claim has been Finally Determined, in the case
of an indemnity claim as to which the Indemnifying Party has acknowledged
liability or, in the case of any indemnity claim as to which the Indemnifying
Party has not acknowledged liability, within fifteen (15) days after such
Indemnifying Party's objection to liability hereunder has been Finally
Determined.

     Section 11.05. Contribution. If for any reason the indemnification provided
for in Section 11.01 is unavailable to any Indemnified Party, or insufficient to
hold it harmless, then the Indemnifying Party shall contribute to the amount
paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such Losses in such
proportion as is appropriate to reflect all relevant equitable considerations.

     Section 11.06. Non-Exclusivity of Remedies. The remedies provided for in
this Article 11 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies
which may otherwise be available to any Indemnified Party at law or in equity.

in effect indefinitely, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

     Section 12.02. Voluntary Termination. By written notice to Pitney Bowes,
Imagistics may voluntarily terminate all or a specified portion of the licenses
and rights granted to it hereunder by Pitney Bowes. Such notice shall specify
the effective date of such termination and shall clearly specify any affected
Licensed Marks, Licensed Patents or Licensed Technology or Imagistics Business
Products.


                                       21


     Section 12.03. Survival. Any termination of licenses and rights of
Imagistics under Section 12.02 shall not affect Imagistics' licenses and rights
with respect to any Imagistics Business Products made or sold prior to such
termination.

     Section 12.04. Other Termination. c) Pitney Bowes shall have the option to
terminate Imagistics' use of the Licensed Marks in the event that Imagistics
materially defaults on its obligations under any of the Ancillary Agreements
and, following written notice from Pitney Bowes, does not cure such default
within sixty (60) days of receipt of such notice.

     (a) Pitney Bowes shall have the option to terminate Imagistics' use of the
Licensed Marks in the event that Imagistics becomes bankrupt or insolvent, or
experiences a Change of Control.

     (b) Imagistics' right to use the Licensed Marks shall automatically
terminate in the event that either party terminates, in accordance with the
provisions of Section 8.12 of the Distribution Agreement, the provision of the
non-compete covenant set forth in Section 7.02 therein. Pitney Bowes shall have
the option to terminate Imagistics' right to use the Licensed Marks if the
Distribution Agreement is terminated for any reason.

                                   ARTICLE 13
                             LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

     IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY OR ITS SUBSIDIARIES BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER
PARTY OR ITS SUBSIDIARIES FOR ANY SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL
OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES OR LOST PROFITS OR ANY OTHER DAMAGES, HOWEVER CAUSED AND ON
ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE) ARISING IN ANY WAY OUT OF THIS
AGREEMENT, WHETHER OR NOT SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
DAMAGES.

                                   ARTICLE 14
                            MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

     Section 14.01. Disclaimer. Each party acknowledges and agrees that all
Licensed Marks, Licensed Copyrights, Licensed Patents and the Licensed
Technology and any other information or materials licensed or provided hereunder
are licensed or provided on an "as is" basis and that neither party nor any of
its Subsidiaries makes any representations or extends any warranties whatsoever,
express, implied or statutory, with respect thereto including without


                                       22


limitation any implied warranties of title, enforceability or non-infringement.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, neither Pitney Bowes nor any
of its Subsidiaries makes any warranty or representation as to the validity of
any Mark, Patent or Copyright licensed by it to Imagistics or any warranty or
representation that any use of any Mark, Patent or Copyright with respect to any
product or service will be free from infringement or violation of any rights of
any Third Party.

     Section 14.02. Other Agreements. In the event there is any inconsistency
between the provisions of this Agreement, on the one hand, and the provisions of
the Distribution Agreement, on the other hand, the provisions of the
Distribution Agreement shall govern.

     Section 14.03. No Implied Licenses. Nothing contained in this Agreement
shall be construed as conferring any rights by implication, estoppel or
otherwise, under any intellectual property right, other than the rights
expressly granted in this Agreement with respect to the Licensed Marks, the
Licensed Copyrights, the Licensed Patents and the Licensed Technology. Neither
party is required hereunder to furnish or disclose to the other any information
(including copies of registrations of the Licensed Marks and Licensed Patents),
except as specifically provided herein.

     Section 14.04. Further Assurances and Consents. In addition to the actions
specifically provided for elsewhere in this Agreement, each of the parties
hereto shall use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all
actions, and to do, or cause to be done, all things, reasonably necessary,
proper or advisable under applicable laws, regulations and agreements or
otherwise to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement, including but not limited to using its reasonable best efforts to
obtain any consents and approvals and to make any filings and applications
necessary or desirable in order to consummate the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement; provided that no party hereto shall be obligated to pay any
consideration therefor (except for filing fees and other similar charges) to any
Third Party from whom such consents or approvals are requested or to take any
action or omit to take any action if the taking of or omission to take such
action would be unreasonably burdensome to the party, its Group or its Group's
business.

     Section 14.05. Infringement Suits. Except as set forth in Section 4.03, (i)
neither party shall have any obligation hereunder to institute any action or
suit against Third Parties for infringement or violation of any of the Licensed
Marks, the Licensed Copyrights, the Licensed Patents or the Licensed Technology
or to defend any action or suit brought by a Third Party which challenges or
concerns the validity of any of the Licensed Marks, the Licensed Copyrights, the
Licensed Patents or the Licensed Technology and (ii) Imagistics shall not have
any right to institute any action or suit against Third Parties for infringement
or violation of


                                       23


any of the Licensed Marks, the Licensed Copyrights, the Licensed Patents or the
Licensed Technology.

     Section 14.06. No Other Obligations. Neither party assumes any
responsibilities or obligations whatsoever, other than the responsibilities and
obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement or a separate written
agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, neither party, nor
any of its Subsidiaries, is obligated to (i) file any application for
registration of any Mark, any Patent or any Copyright, or to secure any rights
in any Marks, any Patents or any Copyrights, (ii) to maintain any Mark or any
Patent registration, or (iii) provide any assistance, except for the obligations
expressly assumed in this Agreement.

     Section 14.07. Force Majeure. (a) For purposes of this Section, "force
majeure" means an event beyond the control of either party, which by its nature
could not have been foreseen by such party, or, if it could have been foreseen,
was unavoidable, and includes without limitation, acts of God, storms, floods,
riots, fires, sabotage, civil commotion or civil unrest, interference by civil
or military authorities, acts of war (declared or undeclared) and failure of
energy sources.

     (b) Without limiting the generality of Article 13 herein, neither party
shall be under any liability for failure to fulfill any obligation under this
Agreement, so long as and to the extent to which the fulfillment of such
obligation is prevented, frustrated, hindered, or delayed as a consequence of
circumstances of force majeure; provided that such party shall have exercised
all due diligence to minimize to the greatest extent possible the effect of
force majeure on its obligations hereunder.

     (c) Promptly on becoming aware of force majeure causing a delay in
performance or preventing performance of any obligations imposed by this
Agreement (and termination of such delay), the party affected shall give written
notice to the other party giving details of the same, including particulars of
the actual and, if applicable, estimated continuing effects of such force
majeure on the obligations of the party whose performance is prevented or
delayed. If such notice shall have been duly given, the actual delay resulting
from such force majeure shall be deemed not to be a breach of this Agreement,
and the period for performance of the obligation to which it relates shall be
extended accordingly; provided that if force majeure results in the performance
of a party being delayed by more than one hundred eighty (180) days, the other
party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement with respect to any
provision affected by such delay forthwith by written notice.

     Section 14.08. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Distribution Agreement
and the other Ancillary Agreements and the Exhibits and Schedules referenced or
attached hereto and thereto constitute the entire agreement between


                                       24


the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and shall
supersede all prior written and oral and all contemporaneous oral agreements and
understandings with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof. To the
extent there is a conflict between this Agreement and the Distribution Agreement
between the parties, the terms of this Agreement shall govern.

     Section 14.09. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed in
accordance with the laws of the State of New York without regard to New York
choice of law provisions. Each of Pitney Bowes and Imagistics hereby submits to
the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the
Southern District of New York and of any New York State court sitting in New
York City for purposes of all legal proceedings arising out of or relating to
this Agreement.

     Section 14.10. Waiver of Jury Trial. Pitney Bowes and Imagistics hereby
irrevocably waive any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding
arising out of or relating to this Agreement and to the fullest extent permitted
by law waive any rights that they may have to claim or to receive consequential
or special damages in connection with any legal proceeding arising out of or
relating to this Agreement.

Section 14.12. Nonassignability. Neither party may, directly or indirectly, in
whole or in part, whether by operation of law or otherwise, assign or transfer
this Agreement, without the other party's prior written consent, and any
attempted assignment, transfer or delegation without such prior written consent
shall be voidable at the sole option of such other party. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, each party (or its permitted successive assignees or transferees
hereunder) may assign or transfer this Agreement as a whole without consent to a
Person that succeeds to all or substantially all of the business or assets of
such party as long as such Person agrees to accept all the terms and conditions
set forth herein. Without limiting the foregoing, this Agreement will be binding
upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their permitted successors and
assigns.

Section 14.13. Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is
determined by a court, administrative agency or arbitrator to be invalid,
illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law or public policy, all
other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in
full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the
transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially
adverse to either party. Upon such determination that any term or other
provision is invalid, illegal


                                       26


or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith
to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as
closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that the transactions
contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the fullest extent possible.

Section 14.14. Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure
or delay on the part of either party hereto in the exercise of any right
hereunder shall impair such right or be construed to be a waiver of, or
acquiescence in, any breach of any representation, warranty or agreement herein,
nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude other or
further exercise thereof or of any other right. All rights and remedies existing
under this Agreement are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or
remedies otherwise available.

Section 14.15.  Amendment. No change or amendment will be made to this
Agreement except by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of the
parties to such agreement.

Section 14.16. Counterparts. This Agreement, including the Ancillary Agreements
and the Exhibits and Schedules hereto and thereto and the other documents
referred to herein or therein, may be executed in counterparts, each of which
shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the
same agreement.
