This Amendment is made and entered into as of February 1, 1996, by and between

R E C I T A L S
---------------
WHEREAS KTA and CALCOMP have entered into an Agreement effective January 9, 1996
for the distribution of the Model 2700 Digital Print Engine.
WHEREAS the parties hereto wish to amend the Agreement in order to provide for
certain matters not previously addressed and to modify certain other terms;
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree to amend the Agreement as follows:
1) Article 4 PRICING AND PAYMENT - Paragraph 4.1 revise wording as follows:
"The prices for 120/220 volt unit and 100 volt unit of the MACHINE
respectively shall be as set out in Annex II hereto, the 120/220 volt
units of which shall be subject to adjustment with respect to
fluctuations in the exchange rate as stated in Annex IV hereto. The
prices for SUPPLY PRODUCTS are set out in Annex III hereto."
2) Article 5 TECHNICAL TRAINING AND MANUALS - Paragraph 5.2 - revise
wording as follows:
"CALCOMP may prepare, at its own cost, its own manuals and catalogues
regarding the OEM PRODUCTS. For that purpose KTA shall, upon request,
furnish to CALCOMP, free of charge, all information regarding the
CONTRACT PRODUCTS which may reasonably enable CALCOMP to prepare such
documentation, including one (1) set in English of the parts manual,
service manual, operation manual and interface-specifications for the
CONTRACT PRODUCTS. KTA grants CALCOMP the right and license, subject to
the provisions of Article 10 Secrecy, to use, reproduce, modify,
translate and distribute the documentation and training materials with
legally effective copyright notice; provided however, that KTA shall
not be liable for any damages incurred by CALCOMP or a third party due
to, and CALCOMP shall indemnify and hold KTA harmless from liability for
any damages incurred by CALCOMP or a third party due to any errors or
omissions in the documentation used by CALCOMP using any information so
provided by KTA."
3) Article 7 WARRANTY - Paragraph 7.1 - revise wording as follows:
"KTA warrants that all CONTRACT PRODUCTS shall be free from defects in
design, material and workmanship and shall be and operate according to
the specifications appearing in Annex I; provided, however, that such
warranty shall not apply to any defects which occur or arise as a result
of changes in aspects, features or details of the CONTRACT PRODUCTS
which are incorporated therein, adopted or implemented as a result of
requests originated by CALCOMP, provided that a CALCOMP officer has
previously agreed in writing that said warranty will not apply as a
result of the incorporation, adoption, or implementation of said
aspects, features or
Date Revised: May 13, 1996 1
details. The said warranty shall apply during a period of six (6) months
after installation of the OEM PRODUCTS at CALCOMP's customers' premises
or for twelve (12) months after the date of shipment, whichever period
is shorter, and is subject to the condition that CALCOMP has notified
KTA in writing or by facsimile of any warranty claim within the warranty
period. If such notice is sent by facsimile, CALCOMP shall promptly send
to KTA a confirmation copy of the same by mail.
The aforementioned warranty period shall be extended to three (3) years
from the relevant shipping date for any latent defect which causes a
breach of warranty in a series (for example, a range of serial numbers)
of the CONTRACT PRODUCT resulting from a common defect in the CONTRACT
PRODUCTS that was not discernible from an inspection and test of
CONTRACT PRODUCTS. In the event such latent defect is agreed by KTA
and CALCOMP in writing, then CALCOMP may elect to enter into a field
replacement program of the affected part or assembly, prior to its
failure, so as to prevent or minimize any liability or end user
dissatisfaction with the CONTRACT PRODUCT. In such case KTA shall
provide replacement parts at no cost."
4) Article 7 WARRANTY - Paragraph 7.5 - replace this paragraph with the
following:
"THIS WARRANTY IS IN LIEU OF ALL OTHERS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING
BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS
FOR A PARTICULAR OR INTENDED PURPOSE, AND ACTION UNDER THIS WARRANTY
SHALL BE THE EXCLUSIVE REMEDY. NEITHER PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE TO THE
OTHER FOR ANY INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES RESULTING FROM A
BREACH OF ITS OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER EXCEPT IN THE CASE OF A MATERIAL OR
WILLFUL BREACH."
5) Article 10 SECRECY - sub-paragraph (a) - revise wording as follows:
"All information in written or other physical form, delivered to it by
the other party and which is designated to be proprietary and
confidential will be safeguarded in the same manner as it safeguards
its own proprietary and confidential information of like character, and
will not be divulged to third parties by it. Information which is
initially orally or visually submitted and identified at the time of
initial disclosure as proprietary shall also be safeguarded only if the
other party notifies it in writing, within ten (10) business days of
such initial oral or visual disclosure, with a specific written
identification of the proprietary information contained in such initial
oral or visual disclosure.
This Agreement shall not impose any obligation upon the receiving party
with respect to any portion of the received information which (i) is
now, or which hereafter, through no act or failure to act on the part of
the receiving party, becomes generally known or available; (ii) is known
to the receiving party at the time of receiving such information; (iii)
is furnished to others by the disclosing party without restriction on
disclosure; (iv) is hereafter furnished to the receiving party by a
third party, as a matter of right and without restriction on disclosure;
or (v) is independently developed by the receiving party without
recourse to the received information, provided that the receiving party
can demonstrate by written documentation that it developed such
information independently.
Each party agrees that upon written request from the other it will
return any identified proprietary and confidential written material
furnished to it which has not been provided in accordance with
Date Revised: May 13, 1996 2
some business agreement transferring rights to such material, and will
state in writing that no copy of such material has been provided to
others or has been retained (except for one archival copy which each
party may retain in locked legal files)."
6) Article 10 SECRECY - sub-paragraph (c) - revise wording as follows:
"This commitment shall terminate three (3) years from the Termination
Date of this Agreement."
7) Article 15 ASSIGNMENT - Replace the existing language with the
following:
"This Agreement may not be assigned by either party without the prior
written agreement of the other party and any purported attempt to do so
shall be null and void. This Agreement shall, however, be binding upon
and inure to the benefit of any successor in interest of a party hereto
as a result of a merger or consolidation."
8) Add a new Article 22 entitle "MACHINE RESCHEDULE" with wording as
follows:
"CALCOMP may, without incurring liability for any additional or
increased costs resulting therefrom, make changes in the quantities of
the MACHINES scheduled to be delivered, provided written notice of such
change is given to KTA no later than the period of time specified below
as applicable to the percentage change in quantity."
DAYS PRIOR TO SCHEDULED PERCENTAGE CHANGE IN QUANTITY
FOB DELIVERY DATE INCREASE DECREASE
0 - 60 0% 0%
61 or more 20% 10%"
9) Add a new Article 23 entitled "MACHINE DISCONTINUATION" with wording as
