2. Appointment and Authority of Dealer.
-----------------------------------
2.1 Appointment. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein,
-----------
JetFax hereby appoints Dealer as a non-exclusive retail dealer of JetFax
Products in the Territory and Dealer hereby accepts such appointment. Dealer's
appointment pursuant to this Section 2.1 does not constitute an exclusive grant
of any territory or market. JetFax reserves the right to appoint other
authorized dealers and resellers and to make direct sales to anyone, at anytime,
without notice or liability to Dealer.
2.2 Retail Sales; Territorial Limitation. Dealer's appointment is as a
------------------------------------
retail seller to end-users only, and Dealer shall not sell the Products at
wholesale or otherwise for resale without obtaining JetFax's prior written
consent. Dealer shall promote, advertise, market, demonstrate, offer and sell
the Products only in the Territory, unless Dealer receives JetFax's prior
written consent to the contrary.
2.3 Independent Contractor. The relationship of JetFax and Dealer shall be
----------------------
that of independent contractors, and nothing contained in this Agreement shall
constitute the parties as partners, joint venturers, employer and employee, or

obligations associated with Dealer's business shall be the sole responsibility
of Dealer. Dealer shall be solely responsible for, and shall indemnify and hold
JetFax free and harmless from, any and all claims, damages or lawsuits
(including attorneys' fees and expenses) arising out of the acts of Dealer, its
employees or its agents.
3. Price; Payment.
--------------
3.1 Price. Dealer's Price for each of the Products shall be as set forth
-----
in the Price List in effect upon JetFax's receipt and acceptance of a Purchase
Order from Dealer. Dealer shall also pay JetFax a handling fee and rush fee (if
applicable) as set forth on the Price List. The difference between the Price
and Dealer's selling price shall be Dealer's sole remuneration for sale of the
Products. Dealer's Price may (but need not) be subject to volume discounts
based on quantity ordered and shipped, and in the event such volume discount is
given with respect to an order but fewer units are actually shipped, Dealer will
pay JetFax for the differential in Price due to the difference between quantity
ordered and quantity actually shipped.
3.2 Price Modifications. JetFax reserves the right to revise the Price at
-------------------
any time upon JetFax's publishing of revisions to the Price List. Such revised
Prices shall apply to all orders received and accepted after the date of such
revision. In the event of any decrease to the Price of any Product, (a) such
decreased Price shall apply to all Purchase Orders received and accepted but for
which such Products have not been shipped and (b) Dealer shall receive credit
for the difference between the then existing and revised Price for any such
Product which was shipped during the period thirty (30) days prior to the
decrease in Price. Such credit shall in no event give rise to any payment
obligation on the part of JetFax but shall only be satisfied by a credit against
payment obligations of Dealer arising from future orders (and other than the
order under which the Products subject to Price revision were shipped) if any.
3.3 Taxes. The Price does not include any federal, state or local taxes,
-----
duties or assessments that may be applicable to the Products, all of which shall
be paid by Dealer. When JetFax has the legal obligation to collect such taxes,
the appropriate amount shall be added to Dealer's invoice and paid by Dealer, in
accordance with the payment terms set forth in this Agreement, unless Dealer
provides JetFax with a valid tax exemption certificate authorized by the
appropriate taxing authority.
3.4 Delivery Costs. The Price does not include any freight, insurance,
--------------
tariffs, duties and other shipping expenses, special packing expenses, imposts
and similar charges associated with delivery of the Products to Dealer, all of
which shall be the sole responsibility of Dealer.
3.5 Payment. Dealer shall pay JetFax in full for all Products ordered
-------
within thirty (30) days after shipment. Payment for the Products shall be made
by Dealer in U.S. Dollars by cash, or by such other means as may be agreed upon
between the parties. The amount of such payment shall include any additional
charges, taxes, fees and other amounts payable by Dealer under this Agreement.
Dealer shall at all times maintain a reasonable credit standing with JetFax. If
at any time JetFax shall have any reasonable doubt as to Dealer's financial
condition or ability to meet its payment or other obligations with respect to
amounts outstanding hereunder or amounts associated with any orders placed in
accordance with this Agreement, notwithstanding any provision to the contrary
contained elsewhere herein, JetFax may, without liability therefor, decline to
make any further shipment, except upon receipt from Dealer of cash or security
satisfactory to JetFax.
3.6 Security Interest. Dealer hereby grants to JetFax, and JetFax shall
-----------------
retain, a purchase money security interest in the Products and their proceeds
(including accounts receivable), which security interest shall be superior to
any other security interest granted or created by Dealer prior to the date
JetFax receives full payment of the purchase price of the Products and shall be
a first lien on the Products. Dealer hereby agrees to execute and deliver, and
JetFax may file in any appropriate public office, such documents as may be
necessary to perfect JetFax's security interest, including Uniform Commercial
Code financing statements. Without limitation on the foregoing, Dealer hereby
irrevocably appoints JetFax its attorney-in-fact to take any action and execute
any instrument necessary or advisable to perfect the security interest granted
herein. If Dealer fails to execute a financing statement, a copy of this
Agreement may be filed in any appropriate public office in order to protect
JetFax's security interest. Until full payment, Dealer shall segregate those
Products for which payment is due from other products in Dealer's inventory and
shall carry such insurance on the Products as JetFax requires.
3.7 Late Payment. Dealer shall pay a late charge, at the lesser of one and
------------
one-half percent (1-1/2%) per month or the highest rate permitted by applicable
law, for any amounts which are not paid in full within the time periods provided
until such amounts are paid to JetFax. Late payment is a breach of Dealer's
obligations and is grounds for termination of this Agreement by JetFax. In the
event Dealer shall fail to make payment when and as due of any amounts due
hereunder, notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere
herein, JetFax may, without liability therefor, decline to make any further
shipment, except upon receipt from Dealer of cash or security satisfactory to
JetFax. Exercise by JetFax of its right to decline to make shipment or delivery
pursuant to Section 3.5, this Section 3.7 or Section 4.6 shall not excuse, or be
deemed a waiver of, Dealer's performance under any term of this Agreement,
including the provisions of Section 4.9.
3.8 Right of Set-Off. JetFax shall have the right to apply any amounts
----------------
owed by JetFax (or any person or entity affiliated with JetFax) to Dealer (or
any person or entity affiliated with Dealer) in reduction of any amounts due
JetFax under this Agreement.
4. Purchase Terms; Minimum Purchase.
--------------------------------
4.1 Purchase Orders. All orders for Products submitted by Dealer shall be
---------------
initiated by written purchase orders (each individually a "Purchase Order" and
collectively "Purchase Orders") in accordance with Section 4.2, provided,
however, Dealer may place an order by fax if a confirming Purchase Order is
received by JetFax within ten (10) business days thereafter. No Purchase Order
shall be binding until accepted by JetFax in writing, or upon shipment (but in
the case of acceptance by shipment, only to the extent of the portion of the
order actually shipped). JetFax shall have no liability to Dealer with respect
to Purchase Orders that are not accepted.
4.2 Purchase Order Terms. All Purchase Orders shall state (a) the type,
--------------------
item number and quantity of the Products ordered, (b) the requested delivery
date, (c) the requested location for delivery, (d) the requested method of
delivery and (e) that the Products are for resale. Any other terms in Dealer's
Purchase Order or acknowledgement are considered deleted and of no force or
effect.
4.3 Rescheduling and Cancellations.
------------------------------
(a) Dealer may delay delivery under a Purchase Order, provided that
(i) the request for such delay is received by JetFax at least ten (10) business
days prior to the scheduled shipment date and (ii) the rescheduled shipment date
is not more than thirty (30) days after the scheduled shipment date. Delivery
under a Purchase Order may only be rescheduled once. Any additional
rescheduling or rescheduling beyond the times permitted will be considered to be
a cancellation.
(b) Dealer may cancel all or any part of a Purchase Order provided
that (i) the request for such cancellation is received by JetFax prior to the
scheduled shipment date, (ii) in the event the order was subject to volume
discounts Dealer will pay JetFax for the differential in Price due to the
difference between quantity ordered and quantity actually shipped and (iii)
orders canceled will be subject to a cancellation fee (payable by Dealer to
JetFax immediately upon cancellation and subject to the provisions of Section 3)
calculated as follows:
Days Before Scheduled Cancellation Fee (% of
Shipment Date that Canceled Purchase Order
Request is Received Amount)
--------------------- -----------------------
91 or more 0%
90 to 31 5%
30 or less 10%
4.4 Fulfillment of Orders upon Termination. Upon termination of this
--------------------------------------
Agreement, JetFax may continue to fulfill, subject to the terms of Section 4,
all orders accepted by JetFax prior to the date of termination.
4.5 Allocation; Delivery Time. JetFax will give careful consideration to
-------------------------
each order received from Dealer, but JetFax shall have the unqualified right to
accept or reject each order as received, or to reduce the quantities of Products
which may be ordered by Dealer. Any delivery schedules quoted by JetFax or its
employees (whether orally or in writing) are estimates only. Dealer agrees that
JetFax shall not be liable for any direct or consequential loss or damage caused
by JetFax's failure or inability to make shipment of any Products to Dealer, and
Dealer agrees that its sole remedy if Products are not shipped by the requested
shipment date is to cancel, by notice, the order without cancellation charges.
4.6 Dealer Breach. Notwithstanding any prior acceptance by JetFax of a
-------------
Purchase Order, JetFax shall not be obligated to ship Products if Dealer is in
breach of this Agreement at the time of the scheduled shipment.
4.7 Delivery. All products delivered pursuant to the terms of this
--------
Agreement shall be packed for shipment in JetFax's standard shipping cartons,
marked for shipment to Dealer's address request in the Purchase Order, and
delivered to Dealer or its carrier F.O.B. (as that term is defined in Section
2319 of the California Uniform Commercial Code) JetFax's workplace in Menlo
Park, California. Title to such Products (except for such portions of the
Products as consist of software) and all risk of loss or damage to such Products
shall pass to Dealer at the F.O.B. point. In the absence of specific written
instructions from Dealer, shipment shall be by a carrier selected by JetFax or
as stated on the Price List, but JetFax shall not thereby assume any liability
in connection with the shipment. JetFax may make partial shipments of Products
which will be separately invoiced. Partial shipments will not affect Dealer's
obligation relating to the balance of the Purchase Order.
4.8 Dealer Inspection/Acceptance; Returns. Dealer shall inspect all
-------------------------------------
Products promptly following delivery and, within ten (10) days following
delivery (the "Inspection Period") shall notify the freight forwarder and JetFax
of any claim for damages or shortages. To reject a Product for non-conformity
with the specifications set forth in JetFax's documentation for that Product in
effect at the time of Dealer's Purchase Order for such Products, Dealer shall
notify JetFax, within the Inspection Period, in writing of its rejection and
shall promptly return the rejected Product to JetFax, insured, freight prepaid,
in its original shipping carton. Any Product not properly rejected within the
Inspection Period shall be deemed accepted.
4.9 Minimum Purchase. Dealer agrees to purchase from JetFax at least the
----------------
aggregate quarterly minimum amounts specified on Exhibit B. In the event that
Dealer does not satisfy such total
minimum requirements for any quarterly period, then JetFax shall be entitled,
after ten (10) days written notice to Dealer, to immediately terminate this
Agreement if such failure is not remedied within such 10-day notice period.
5. Additional Obligations of Dealer.

for the purposes and to the extent set forth in this Agreement, and upon
termination of this Agreement for any reason such authorization shall cease.
10.2 No Right to Manufacture or Copy. The Products are offered for sale and
