with the Company's business as proposed to be conducted. Neither the execution
nor delivery of this Agreement, nor the carrying on of the Company's business by
the employees of the Company, nor the conduct of the Company s business as

any inventions of any of its employees (or people it currently intends to hire)
made prior to their employment by the Company.

---------------------------------
violation or default of any provisions of its Amended and Restated Certificate

provision of any federal or state statute, rule or regulation applicable to the
Company. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will not result in any such
violation or be in conflict with or constitute, with or without the passage of
time and giving of notice, either a default under any such provision,
instrument, judgment, order, writ, decree or contract or an event which results
in the creation of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any assets of the
Company, which violation, default, conflict or event would be materially adverse
to the Company. The Company has avoided every condition, and

established and administered in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles.

hereby, the Company is not a party or subject to any agreement or understanding,
and, to the Company's knowledge, there is no agreement or understanding between
any persons and/or entities, which affects or relates to the voting or giving of
written consents with respect to any security or by a director of the Company.
2.21 Disclosure. The Company believes it has fully provided each

Investor with all the information which such Investor has requested for deciding
whether to purchase the Series D Preferred Stock and Warrants. Neither this
Agreement nor any other statement or certificate made or delivered in connection

-------------
has been prepared in good faith by the Company and does not contain any untrue
statement of a material fact nor does it omit to state a material fact necessary

any projections contained in such business plan, the Company represents only
that such projections were prepared in good faith and that the Company believes
there is a reasonable basis for such projections.
2.23 Section 83(b) Elections. To the best of the Company's knowledge,
-----------------------
all elections and notices required by Section 83(b) of the Internal Revenue Code
have been timely filed by all individuals who have purchased shares of the
Company's Common Stock.
3. Representations and Warranties of Investor. Each Investor hereby
------------------------------------------
severally and not jointly represents and warrants that:
3.1 Authorization. This Agreement constitutes a valid and legally
-------------
binding obligation of such Investor, enforceable in accordance with its terms
subject to bankruptcy and other laws of general application affecting the rights
and remedies of creditors, and except insofar as the enforceability of the
indemnification provisions of Section 7.10 hereof may be limited by applicable
laws.
3.2 Purchase Entirely for Own Account. This Agreement is made with
---------------------------------
Investor in reliance upon Investor's representation to the Company, which by
Investor's
10.
execution of this Agreement Investor hereby confirms, that the Series D
Preferred Stock and Warrants to be received by Investor, the Common Stock
issuable upon conversion thereof and the Warrant Shares (collectively, the
"Securities") will be acquired for investment for Investor's own account, not as
a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any
part thereof, and that Investor has no present intention of selling, granting
any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same. By executing this
Agreement, Investor further represents that Investor does not have any contract,
undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or grant
participations to such person or to any third person, with respect to any of the
Securities.
3.3 Disclosure of Information. Investor believes it has received all
-------------------------
the information it considers necessary or appropriate for deciding whether to
purchase the Series D Preferred Stock and Warrants. Investor further represents
that it has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the
Company regarding the terms and conditions of the offering of the Series D
Preferred Stock and Warrants. The foregoing, however, does not limit or modify
the representations and warranties of the Company in Section 2 of this Agreement
and the rights of Investor to rely thereon.
3.4 Investment Experience. Investor is an investor in securities of
---------------------
companies in the development stage and acknowledges that it is able to fend for
itself, can bear the economic risk of its investment and has such knowledge and
experience in financial or business matters that it is capable of evaluating the
merits and risks of the investment in the Series D Preferred Stock and Warrants.
If other than an individual, Investor also represents it has not been organized
solely for the purpose of acquiring the Series D Preferred Stock and Warrants.
3.5 Restricted Securities. Investor understands that the Securities
---------------------
it is purchasing are characterized as restricted securities under the federal
securities laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Company in a
transaction not involving a public offering and that under such laws and
applicable regulations such securities may be resold without registration under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") only in certain
limited circumstances. In this connection Investor represents that it is
familiar with Rule 144 ("Rule 144"), Rule 144A ("Rule 144A") and Regulation S
under the Securities Act, as presently in effect, and understands the resale
limitations imposed thereby and by the Securities Act.
3.6 Further Limitations on Disposition. Without in any way limiting
----------------------------------
the representations set forth above, Investor further agrees not to make any
disposition of all or any portion of the Securities unless and until the
transferee has agreed in writing for the benefit of the Company to be bound by
any terms and conditions of this Agreement specified by the Company (including,
without limitation, Sections 3, 7.15 and 9 hereof):
11.
(a) There is then in effect a Registration Statement under the
Securities Act covering such proposed disposition and such disposition is made
in accordance with such Registration Statement and the Securities Act; or
(b) (i) Investor shall have notified the Company of the proposed
disposition and shall have furnished the Company with a detailed statement of
the circumstances surrounding the proposed disposition, and (ii) if reasonably
requested by the Company, Investor shall have furnished the Company with an
opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Company, that such
disposition will not require registration of such shares under the Securities
Act. It is agreed that the Company will not require opinions of counsel for
transactions made pursuant to Rule 144 and Rule 144A, as currently in existence,
except in unusual circumstances.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the requirements in subsection (b) above shall
not apply to a disposition (i) not involving a change in beneficial ownership or
(ii) involving the distribution without consideration of the Securities by any
Investor to any of its partners, retired partners or affiliates or to the estate
of any of its partners or retired partners. Transferees shall be known as
Investors for purposes of this Agreement so long as the transfer is made in
accordance with the provisions of this Section 3.6.
3.7 Legends. It is understood that the certificates evidencing the
-------
Securities may bear one or all of the following legends in substantially the
following form:
(a) "These securities have not been registered under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended. They may not be sold, offered for sale, pledged or
hypothecated in the absence of a registration statement in effect with respect
to the securities under such Act or an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the
Company that such registration is not required or unless sold pursuant to Rule
144 or Rule 144A of such Act."
(b) "These securities are subject to certain restrictions on transfer
set forth in the Qualix Group, Inc. Series D Preferred Stock and Warrant
Purchase Agreement."
(c) Any legend required by the laws of the State of California or
other jurisdiction, including any legend required by the California Department
of Corporations and sections 417 and 418 of the California Corporations Code.
3.8 Accredited Investor. Except as disclosed to the Company in
-------------------
writing, Investor is an accredited investor as defined in Rule 501(a) of
Regulation D, as amended, under the Securities Act.
3.9 Confidentiality. Investor hereby represents, warrants and
---------------
covenants that it shall maintain in confidence, and shall not use or disclose
without the prior written consent of the Company, any information identified in
writing by the Company as confidential that is furnished to it by the Company in
connection with this Agreement, including (without
12.
limitation) all financial statements, budget and other information delivered or
provided to Investor pursuant to Section 8.1 hereof. This obligation of
confidentiality shall not apply, however, to any information (i) in the public
domain through no unauthorized act or failure to act by Investor, (ii) lawfully
disclosed to Investor by a third party who possessed such information without
any obligation of confidentiality or (iii) known previously by Investor or
lawfully developed by Investor independent of any disclosure by the Company.
Investor further covenants that it shall return to the Company all tangible
materials containing such information upon request by the Company.
3.10 Removal of Legends; Further Covenants and Restrictions.
------------------------------------------------------
(a) Any legend endorsed on a certificate pursuant to Section 3.7
hereof shall be removed (i) if the Securities represented by such certificate
shall have been effectively registered under the Securities Act or otherwise
lawfully sold in a public transaction, (ii) if such Securities may be
transferred in compliance with Rule 144(k) promulgated under the Securities Act,
or (iii) if the holder of such Securities shall have provided the Company with
an opinion of counsel, in form and substance acceptable to the Company and its
counsel and from attorneys reasonably acceptable to the Company and its counsel,
stating that a public sale, transfer or assignment of such Securities may be
made without registration.
(b) Any legend endorsed on a certificate pursuant to Section 3.7
hereof shall be removed if the Company receives an order of the appropriate
state authority authorizing such removal or if the holder of the Securities
provides the Company with an opinion of counsel, in form and substance
acceptable to the Company and its counsel and from attorneys reasonably
acceptable to the Company and its counsel, stating that such state legend may be
removed.
(c) Investor further covenants that it will not transfer the
Securities or any securities received in exchange therefor or on conversion
thereof, in violation of the Securities Act, the Securities and Exchange Act of
1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), or the rules or regulations of the
Commission promulgated thereunder, including Rule 144, Rule 144A or Regulation S
under the Securities Act. Further, Investor agrees that notwithstanding any
other provision of this Agreement, prior to the closing of the Company's first
underwritten public offering pursuant to an effective registration statement
under the Securities Act ("Initial Public Offering"), it will not transfer any
of such securities in a transaction which would, in the reasonable judgment of
the Company, result in the Company being subject to the reporting requirements
of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, even if it is otherwise permitted to
transfer them pursuant to Rule 144(k).

7. Registration Rights. The Company covenants and agrees as
-------------------
follows:
7.1 Definitions. For purposes of this Section 7:
-----------
(a) The terms "register," "registered," and "registration" refer to a
registration effected by preparing and filing a registration statement or
similar document in compliance with the Securities Act, and the declaration or
ordering of effectiveness of such registration statement or document;
15.
(b) The term "Registrable Securities" means (i) the Common Stock
issuable or issued upon conversion of the Series A, Series B, Series C and
Series D Preferred Stock, (ii) the Common Stock issuable or issued upon exercise
of the Bridge Warrants, the Series D Warrant and the Warrants and (iii) any
Common Stock of the Company issued as (or issuable upon the conversion or
exercise of any warrant, right or other security which is issued as) a dividend
or other distribution with respect to, or in exchange for or in replacement of,
such Preferred Stock or Common Stock, excluding in all cases, however, any
Registrable Securities sold by a person in a transaction in which such person's
registration rights under this Section 7 are not assigned;
(c) The number of shares of "Registrable Securities then outstanding"
shall be determined by the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding which
are, and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to then
exercisable or convertible securities which are exercisable or convertible into,
Registrable Securities;
(d) The term "Holder" means any person owning or having the right to
acquire Registrable Securities or any assignee thereof in accordance with
Section 7.13 hereof; and
(e) The term "Form S-3" means such form under the Securities Act as in
effect on the date hereof or any registration form under the Securities Act
subsequently adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") in lieu
of Form S-3 which permits inclusion or incorporation of substantial information
by reference to other documents filed by the Company with the SEC.
7.2 Request for Registration.
------------------------
(a) If the Company shall receive a written request from the Holders of
at least 40% of the Registrable Securities then outstanding that the Company
file a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the registration
of Registrable Securities with an aggregate offering price, net of underwriting
discounts and commissions, of at least $7,500,000, then the Company shall,
within 15 days of the receipt thereof, give written notice of such request to
all Holders and shall, subject to the limitations of subsection 7.2(b), file as
soon as practicable, and in any event within 75 days of the receipt of such
request, a registration statement under the Securities Act covering all
Registrable Securities which the Holders request to be registered within 30 days
of the mailing of such notice by the Company in accordance with Section 9.6.
(b) If the Holders initiating the registration request hereunder
("Initiating Holders") intend to distribute the Registrable Securities covered
by their request by means of an underwriting, they shall so advise the Company
as a part of their request made pursuant to this Section 7.2 and the Company
shall include such information in the written notice referred to in subsection
7.2(a). In such event, the right of any Holder to include its Registrable
Securities in such registration shall be conditioned upon such Holder's
participation in such
16.
underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder's Registrable Securities in the
underwriting (unless otherwise mutually agreed by a majority in interest of the
Initiating Holders and such Holder) to the extent provided herein. All Holders
proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting shall
(together with the Company as provided in subsection 7.4(e)) enter into an
underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters
selected for such underwriting by the Company with the approval of a majority in
interest of the Initiating Holders, which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 7.2, if the
underwriter advises the Initiating Holders in writing that marketing factors
require a limitation of the number of shares to be underwritten, then the
Initiating Holders shall so advise all Holders of Registrable Securities which
would otherwise be underwritten pursuant hereto, and the number of shares of
Registrable Securities that may be included in the underwriting shall be
allocated among all Holders thereof, including the Initiating Holders, in
proportion (as nearly as practicable) to the amount of Registrable Securities of
the Company owned by each Holder; provided, however, that the number of shares
of Registrable Securities to be included in such underwriting shall not be
reduced unless all other securities are first entirely excluded from the
underwriting.
(c) The Company is obligated to effect only two such registrations
pursuant to this Section 7.2; provided, however, that the Company shall not be
obligated to effect such registration if the Company has, within the 12-month
period preceding the date of such request, already effected a registration
pursuant to this Section 7.2.
(d) The Company is not obligated to initiate a registration pursuant
to this Section 7.2 until the earlier of January 1, 1997 or three months after
the Initial Public Offering.
(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company shall furnish to
Holders requesting a registration statement pursuant to this Section 7.2 a
certificate signed by the President of the Company stating that in the good
faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company it would be seriously
detrimental to the Company and its stockholders for such registration statement
to be filed and it is therefore essential to defer the filing of such
registration statement, the Company shall have the right to defer such filing
for a period of not more than 120 days after receipt of the request of the
Initiating Holders; provided, however, that the Company may not utilize this
right more than once in any 12-month period.
7.3 Company Registration. If (but without any obligation to do so)
--------------------
the Company proposes to register (including for this purpose a registration
effected by the Company for stockholders other than the Holders) any of its
stock or other securities under the Securities Act in connection with the public
offering of such securities solely for cash (other than a registration relating
solely to the sale of securities to participants in a Company stock plan, or a
registration on any form which does not include substantially the same
information as would be required to be included in a registration statement
covering the sale of the Registrable Securities), the Company shall, at such
time, promptly give each Holder written notice of such registration. Upon the
written request of each Holder given within 15
17.
days after mailing of such notice by the Company in accordance with Section 9.6,
the Company shall, subject to the provisions of Section 7.8, cause to be
registered under the Securities Act all of the Registrable Securities that each
such Holder has requested to be registered.
7.4 Obligations of the Company. Whenever required under this Section
--------------------------
7 to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities, the Company shall,
as expeditiously as reasonably possible:
(a) Prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement with
respect to such Registrable Securities and use its best efforts to cause such
registration statement to become effective, and, upon the request of the Holders
of a majority of the Registrable Securities registered thereunder, keep such
registration statement effective for up to 120 days.
(b) Prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to
such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection with such
registration statement as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the
Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such
registration statement.
(c) Furnish to the Holders such numbers of copies of a prospectus,
including a preliminary prospectus, in conformity with the requirements of the
Securities Act, and such other documents as they may reasonably request in order
to facilitate the disposition of Registrable Securities owned by them.
(d) Use its best efforts to register and qualify the securities
covered by such registration statement under such other securities or Blue Sky
laws of such jurisdictions as shall be reasonably requested by the Holders,
provided that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a
condition thereto to qualify to do business or to file a general consent to
service of process in any such states or jurisdictions.
(e) In the event of any underwritten public offering, enter into and
perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual and customary
form, with the managing underwriter of such offering. Each Holder participating
in such underwriting shall also enter into and perform its obligations under
such an agreement.
(f) Notify each Holder of Registrable Securities covered by such
registration statement at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is
required to be delivered under the Securities Act of the happening of any event
as a result of which the prospectus included in such registration statement, as
then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to
state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then
existing.
18.
(g) Furnish, at the request of any Holder requesting registration of
Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 7, on the date that such
Registrable Securities are delivered to the underwriters for sale in connection
with a registration pursuant to this Section 7, if such securities are being
sold through underwriters, or, if such securities are not being sold through
underwriters, on the date that the registration statement with respect to such
securities becomes effective, (i) an opinion, dated such date, of the counsel
representing the Company for the purposes of such registration, in form and
substance as is customarily given to underwriters in an underwritten public
offering, addressed to the underwriters, if any, and to the Holders requesting
registration of Registrable Securities and (ii) a letter dated such date, from
the independent certified public accountants of the Company, in form and
substance as is customarily given by independent certified public accountants to
underwriters in an underwritten public offering, addressed to the underwriters,
if any, and to the Holders requesting registration of Registrable Securities.
(h) Make generally available to its stockholders an earnings statement
satisfying the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act (including by
means of satisfying the provisions of Rule 158 under the Securities Act) as soon
as reasonably practical covering the 12-month period beginning with the first
month of the Company's first fiscal quarter commencing after the effective date
of the registration statement.
7.5 Furnish Information. It shall be a condition precedent to the
-------------------
obligations of the Company to take any action pursuant to this Section 7 that
the selling Holders shall furnish to the Company such information regarding
themselves, the Registrable Securities held by them, and the intended method of
disposition of such securities as shall be required to effect the registration
of the Registrable Securities.
7.6 Expenses of Demand Registration. All expenses other than
-------------------------------
underwriting discounts and commissions incurred in connection with
registrations, filings or qualifications pursuant to Section 7.2, including
(without limitation) all registration, filing and qualification fees, printers'
and accounting fees, fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, and the
reasonable fees and disbursements of a single counsel for the selling Holders
selected by them shall be borne by the Company; provided, however, that the
Company shall not be required to pay for any expenses of any registration
proceeding begun pursuant to Section 7.2 if the registration request is
subsequently withdrawn at the request of the Holders of a majority of the
Registrable Securities to be registered (in which case all participating Holders
shall bear such expenses), unless the Holders of a majority of the Registrable
Securities agree to forfeit their right to one demand registration pursuant to
Section 7.2; provided further, however, that if at the time of such withdrawal,
the Holders have learned of a material adverse change in the condition, business
or prospects of the Company from that known to the Holders at the time of their
request, then the Holders shall not be required to pay any of such expenses and
shall retain their rights pursuant to Section 7.2.
7.7 Expenses of Company Registration. The Company shall bear and pay
--------------------------------
all expenses incurred in connection with any registration, filing or
qualification of Registrable
19.
Securities with respect to the registrations pursuant to Section 7.3 for each
Holder (which right may be assigned as provided in Section 7.13), including
(without limitation) all registration, filing and qualification fees, printers'
and accounting fees relating or apportionable thereto and the reasonable fees
and disbursements of a single counsel for the selling Holders selected by them,
but excluding underwriting discounts and commissions relating to Registrable
Securities.
7.8 Underwriting Requirements. In connection with any offering
-------------------------
involving an underwriting of shares being issued by the Company, the Company
shall not be required under Section 7.3 to include any of the Holders'
securities in such underwriting unless they accept the terms of the underwriting
as agreed upon between the Company and the underwriters selected by it, and then
only in such quantity as will not, in the opinion of the underwriters,
jeopardize the success of the offering by the Company. If the total amount of
securities, including Registrable Securities, requested by stockholders to be
included in such offering exceeds the amount of securities sold other than by
the Company (or the stockholder initiating the registration) that the
underwriters reasonably believe compatible with the success of the offering,
then the Company shall be required to include in the offering only that number
of such securities, including Registrable Securities, which the underwriters
believe will not jeopardize the success of the offering (the securities so
included to be apportioned pro rata among the selling stockholders according to
the total amount of securities entitled to be included therein owned by each
selling stockholder or in such other proportions as shall mutually be agreed to
by such selling stockholders); provided, however, that in no event shall (i) the
amount of securities of the selling Holders included in the offering be reduced
below 30% of the total amount of securities included in such offering (unless
such offering is the Initial Public Offering, in which case the amount of
securities of the selling Holders may be reduced below 30% but only after all
securities of other selling stockholders are excluded from such offering, (ii)
any securities of selling Holders shall be excluded until all securities of
selling Founders and other employees of, or consultants and advisors to, the
Company are excluded; and (iii) notwithstanding (i) above, any shares being sold
by a stockholder exercising a demand registration right similar to that granted
in Section 7.2 be excluded from such offering.
7.9 Delay of Registration. Except with the written consent of
---------------------
Holders of two thirds of the Registrable Securities, no Holder shall have any
right to obtain or seek an injunction restraining or otherwise delaying any such
registration as the result of any controversy that might arise with respect to
the interpretation or implementation of this Section 7.
7.10 Indemnification. In the event any Registrable Securities are
---------------
included in a registration statement under this Section 7:
(a) To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify and
hold harmless each Holder, the officers and directors of each Holder, any
underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act) for such Holder and each person,
if any, who controls such Holder or
20.
underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act,
against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (joint or several) to which
they may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other
federal or state law, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or
actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any of the following
statements, omissions or violations (collectively, a "Violation"): (i) any
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in
such registration statement, including any preliminary prospectus or final
prospectus contained therein or any amendments or supplements thereto, (ii) the
omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be
stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or
(iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act,
the Exchange Act, any state securities law or any rule or regulation promulgated
under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any state securities law); and the
Company will reimburse each such Holder, officer or director, underwriter or
controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them
in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage,
liability or action; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained
in this subsection 7.10(a) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any
such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected
without the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld), nor shall the Company be liable in any such case for any such loss,
claim, damage, liability or action to the extent that it arises out of or is
based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with
written information furnished expressly for use in connection with such
registration by any such Holder, officer, director, underwriter or controlling
person.
(b) To the extent permitted by law, each selling Holder will indemnify
and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who
have signed the registration statement, each person, if any, who controls the
Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, any underwriter and any other
Holder selling securities in such registration statement or any of its directors
or officers or any person who controls such Holder, against any losses, claims,
damages or liabilities (joint or several) to which the Company or any such
director, officer, controlling person, or underwriter or controlling person, or
other such Holder or director, officer or controlling person may become subject,
under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state law,
insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect
thereto) arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in each case to the
extent (and only to the extent) that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and
in conformity with written information furnished by such Holder expressly for
use in connection with such registration; and each such Holder will reimburse
any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company or any such
director, officer, controlling person, underwriter or controlling person, other
Holder, officer, director, or controlling person in connection with
investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action;
provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this subsection
7.10(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim,
damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent
of the Holder, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided that,
in no event shall any indemnity under this subsection 7.10(b) exceed the net
proceeds from the offering received by such Holder.
21.
(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section
7.10 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental
action), such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be
made against any indemnifying party under this Section 7.10, deliver to the
indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof and the
indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent
the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party
similarly noticed, to assume the defense thereof with counsel mutually
satisfactory to the parties; provided, however, that an indemnified party shall
have the right to retain its own counsel, with the fees and expenses to be paid
by the indemnifying party, if representation of such indemnified party by the
counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual
or potential differing interests between such indemnified party and any other
party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The failure to deliver
written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the
commencement of any such action, if prejudicial to its ability to defend such
action, shall relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the
indemnified party under this Section 7.10, but the omission so to deliver
written notice to the indemnifying party will not relieve it of any liability
that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section
7.10.
(d) The obligations of the Company and Holders under this Section 7.10
shall survive the completion of any offering of Registrable Securities in a
registration statement under this Section 7, and otherwise.
7.11 Reports Under Securities Exchange Act of 1934. With a view to
---------------------------------------------
making available to the Holders the benefits of Rule 144 and any other rule or
regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit a Holder to sell securities of
the Company to the public without registration or pursuant to a registration on
Form S-3, the Company agrees to:
(a) make and keep public information available, as those terms are
understood and defined in Rule 144, at all times after 90 days after the
effective date of the first registration statement filed by the Company for the
offering of its securities to the general public;
(b) take such action, including the voluntary registration of its
Common Stock under section 12 of the Exchange Act, as is necessary to enable the
Holders to utilize Form S-3 for the sale of their Registrable Securities, such
action to be taken as soon as practicable after the end of the fiscal year in
which the first registration statement filed by the Company for the offering of
its securities to the general public is declared effective;
(c) file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other
documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act;
and
(d) furnish to any Holder, so long as the Holder owns any Registrable
Securities, forthwith upon request (i) a written statement by the Company that
it has complied with the reporting requirements of Rule 144 under the Securities
Act (at any time after 90
22.
days after the effective date of the first registration statement filed by the
Company), the Securities Act and the Exchange Act (at any time after it has
become subject to such reporting requirements), or that it qualifies as a
registrant whose securities may be resold pursuant to Form S-3 (at any time
after it so qualifies), (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly
report of the Company and such other reports and documents so filed by the
Company and (iii) such other information as may be reasonably requested in
availing any Holder of any rule or regulation of the SEC which permits the
selling of any such securities without registration or pursuant to such form.
7.12 Form S-3 Registration. In case the Company shall receive from
---------------------
any Holder or Holders a written request or requests that the Company effect a
registration on Form S-3 and any related qualification or compliance with
respect to all or a part of the Registrable Securities owned by such Holder or
Holders, the Company will:
(a) promptly give written notice of the proposed registration, and any
related qualification or compliance, to all other Holders; and
(b) as soon as practicable, effect such registration and all such
qualifications and compliances as may be so requested and as would permit or
facilitate the sale and distribution of all or such portion of such Holder's or
Holders' Registrable Securities as are specified in such request, together with
all or such portion of the Registrable Securities of any other Holder or Holders
joining in such request as are specified in a written request given within 15
days after receipt of such written notice from the Company; provided, however,
that the Company shall not be obligated to effect any such registration,
qualification or compliance pursuant to this Section 7.12: (i) if Form S-3 is
not available for such offering by the Holders; (ii) if the Holders, together
with the holders of any other securities of the Company entitled to inclusion in
such registration, propose to sell Registrable Securities and such other
securities (if any) at an aggregate price to the public (net of any
underwriters' discounts or commissions) of less than $500,000; (iii) if the
Company shall furnish to the Holders a certificate signed by the President of
the Company stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of
the Company it would be seriously detrimental to the Company and its
stockholders for such Form S-3 Registration to be effected at such time, in
which event the Company shall have the right to defer the filing of the Form S-3
Registration Statement for a period of not more than 60 days after receipt of
the request of the Holder or Holders under this Section 7.12; provided, however,
that the Company shall not utilize this right more than once in any 12-month
period; (iv) if the Company has already effected four registrations on Form S-3
for the Holders pursuant to this Section 7.12; (v) if the Company has, within
the 12-month period preceding the date of such request, already effected a
registration on Form S-3 for the Holders pursuant to this Section 7.12 and other
similar provisions granting rights to registration on Form S-3; or (vi) in any
particular jurisdiction in which the Company would be required to qualify to do
business or to execute a general consent to service of process in effecting such
registration, qualification or compliance.
23.
(c) Subject to the foregoing, the Company shall file a registration
statement covering the Registrable Securities and other securities so requested
to be registered as soon as practicable after receipt of the request or requests
of the Holders. All expenses incurred in connection with a registration
requested pursuant to Section 7.12, including (without limitation) all
registration, filing, qualification, printers' and accounting fees and the
reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company and a single
counsel for the selling Holder or Holders shall be borne by the Company.
Registrations effected pursuant to this Section 7.12 shall not be counted as
demands for registration effected pursuant to Section 7.2.
7.13 Assignment of Registration Rights. The rights to cause the
---------------------------------
Company to register Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 7 may be
assigned by a Holder to a transferee or assignee of an amount of such securities
representing not less than the greater of (i) 25,000 shares of the Registrable
Securities or (ii) 15% of the Registrable Securities purchased hereunder by such
Holder; provided, in each case, that the Company is, within a reasonable time
after such transfer, furnished with written notice of the name and address of
such transferee or assignee and the securities with respect to which such
registration rights are being assigned and the Company's Board of Directors
approves such transfer, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld; and
provided, further, that no such assignment shall be effective if immediately
following such transfer the Company's shares are publicly traded and the further
disposition of such securities by the transferee or assignee is not restricted
under the Securities Act. For the purposes of determining the number of shares
of Registrable Securities held by a transferee or assignee, the holdings of
transferees and assignees of a partnership who are partners or retired partners
of such partnership (including spouses and ancestors, lineal descendants and
siblings of such partners or spouses who acquire Registrable Securities by gift,
will or intestate succession) shall be aggregated together and with the
partnership; provided that all assignees and transferees who would not qualify
individually for assignment of registration rights shall have a single attorney-
in-fact for the purpose of exercising any rights, receiving notices or taking
any action under this Section 7.
7.14 Limitations on Subsequent Registration Rights. From and after the
---------------------------------------------
date of this Agreement, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent
of the Holders of a majority of the outstanding Registrable Securities, enter
into any agreement with any holder or prospective holder of any securities of
the Company which would allow such holder or prospective holder (a) to include
such securities in any registration filed under Section 7.2 hereof, unless under
the terms of such agreement, such holder or prospective holder may include such
securities in any such registration only to the extent that the inclusion of its
securities will not reduce the amount of the Registrable Securities of the
Holders which is included or (b) to make a demand registration which could
result in such registration statement being declared effective prior to the
earlier of either of the dates set forth in subsection 7.2(a) or within 120 days
of the effective date of any registration effected pursuant to Section 7.2.
7.15 "Market Stand-Off" Agreement. Investor hereby agrees that it
----------------------------
shall not, to the extent requested by the Company and an underwriter of Common
Stock (or other
24.
securities) of the Company, sell or otherwise transfer or dispose (other than to
donees who agree to be similarly bound) of any Registrable Securities during a
reasonable and customary period of time, as agreed to by the Company and the
underwriters, not to exceed 180 days, following the effective date of a
registration statement of the Company filed under the Securities Act; provided,
however, that:
(a) such agreement shall be applicable only to the Initial Public
Offering; and
(b) all officers and directors of the Company and all other persons
with registration rights (whether or not pursuant to this Agreement) enter into
similar agreements.
In order to enforce the foregoing covenant, the Company may impose
stop-transfer instructions with respect to Investor's Registrable Securities
(and the shares or securities of every other person subject to the foregoing
restriction) until the end of such reasonable and customary period.
7.16 Amendment of Registration Rights. Any provision of this Section
--------------------------------
7 may be amended and the observance thereof may be waived (either generally or
in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively), only with
the written consent of the Company and the holders of a majority of the
Registrable Securities then outstanding. Any amendment or waiver effected in
accordance with this paragraph shall be binding upon each holder of any
securities purchased under this Agreement at the time outstanding (including
securities into which such securities are convertible), each future holder of
all such securities, and the Company.
7.17 Termination of Registration Rights. The Company's obligations
----------------------------------
pursuant to this Section 7 shall terminate seven years from the date of
consummation of the Company's sale of its Common Stock in a bona fide, firm
commitment underwriting pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-l under
the Securities Act which results in gross offering proceeds to the Company of at
least $7,500,000, the public offering price of which was not less than $7.50 per
share (adjusted to reflect stock dividends, stock splits or recapitalizations).

(i) as soon as practicable, but in any event within 45 days of
the end of each month, an unaudited statement of operations, cash flow analysis
and balance sheet for and as of the end of such month, in reasonable detail;

(ii) as soon as practicable, but in any event within 30 days
prior to the close of each fiscal year, a business plan for the next fiscal year
and an operating budget for the next fiscal year forecasting the Company's

of Series D Preferred Stock, or Common Stock issued upon conversion thereof.
8.2 Inspection. The Company shall permit each Major Investor, at
----------
such Major Investor's expense, to visit and inspect the Company's properties, to
examine its books of account and records and to discuss the Company's affairs,
finances and accounts with its
26.
officers, all at such reasonable times as may be requested by such Major
Investor; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated pursuant to
this Section 8.2 to provide access to any information which it reasonably
considers to be a trade secret or similar confidential information.
8.3 Right of First Offer on Certain Primary Sales. Subject to the
---------------------------------------------
terms and conditions specified in this Section 8.3, the Company hereby grants to
each Investor a right of first offer with respect to future sales by the Company
of its Shares (as hereinafter defined). Each time the Company proposes to offer
any shares of, or securities convertible into or exercisable for, any class of
its capital stock ("Shares"), the Company shall first make an offering of such
Shares to each Investor in accordance with the following provisions:
(a) The Company shall deliver a notice by certified mail or an
established overnight courier ("Notice") to each Investor stating (i) its bona
fide intention to offer or issue such Shares, (ii) the number of such Shares to
be offered, and (iii) the price, if any, for which it proposes to offer such
Shares.
(b) Within 15 calendar days after receipt of the Notice, such Investor
may elect to purchase or obtain, at the price and on the terms specified in the
Notice, up to that portion of such Shares which equals the proportion that the
number of shares of Common Stock then owned, or issuable upon conversion of the
Preferred Stock and the Warrants then owned, by such Investor bears to the total
number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding and issuable upon conversion
of the Preferred Stock and exercise of the Warrants then outstanding. The
Company shall promptly, in writing, inform each Investor which elects to
purchase all the Shares available to it ("Fully Exercising Investor") of any
other Investor which does not elect to purchase all of the Shares available to
such other Investor ("Non-Fully Exercising Investor"). During the 10-day period
commencing after receipt of such information, each Fully Exercising Investor
shall be entitled to obtain that portion of the shares subject to such right of
first offer and not subscribed for by the Non-Fully Exercising Investors which
is equal to the proportion that the number of shares of Common Stock then owned,
or issuable upon conversion of the Series D Preferred Stock then owned, by such
Fully Exercising Investor bears to the total number of shares of Common Stock
then owned, or issuable upon conversion of the Series D Preferred Stock then
owned, by all Fully Exercising Investors which wish to purchase some of the
unsubscribed shares.
(c) If all such Shares referred to in the Notice are not elected to be
obtained as provided in subsection 8.3(b) hereof, the Company may, during the
90-day period following the expiration of the period provided in subsection
8.3(b) hereof, offer the remaining unsubscribed Shares to any person or persons
at a price not less than that, and upon terms no more favorable to the offeree
than those, specified in the Notice. If the Company does not enter into an
agreement for the sale of the Shares within such period, or if such agreement is
not consummated within 90 days of the execution thereof, the right provided
hereunder shall be deemed to be revived and such Shares shall not be offered
unless first reoffered to the Major Investors in accordance herewith.
27.
(d) The right of first offer granted in this Section 8.3 shall not be
applicable (i) to the issuance or sale of shares of Common Stock (or options
therefor), to employees, directors, consultants or advisors of the Company for
the primary purpose of soliciting or retaining their services, provided each
such issuance or sale is approved by a majority of the disinterested members of
the Company's Board of Directors, (ii) to the issuance and sale of the Company's
securities to a corporation, partnership or other entity with which the Company
has a partnership, joint venture or other business relationship, provided that
such issuances are for other than primarily equity financing purposes and that
each such issuance and sale is approved by the Company's Board of Directors,
(iii) to the issuance and sale of the Company's securities in connection with
the acquisition by the Company of the stock or other equity interests in, or all
or substantially all of the assets of, another corporation, partnership or other
entity, provided that in the case of an acquisition of stock or other equity
interests the Company acquires at least 50% of such stock or other equity
interests, (iv) the issuance or sale of shares of Common Stock (or options
therefor) in connection with any equipment lease financing or the incurrence of
any indebtedness for money borrowed, provided each such issuance and sale is
approved by the Company's Board of Directors, (v) to the issuance of Common
Stock upon the conversion of Preferred Stock, or (vi) to or after consummation
of a bona fide, firmly underwritten public offering of shares of the Company's
Common Stock registered under the Securities Act pursuant to a registration
statement on Form S-1, which results in gross proceeds to the Company of at
least $7,500,000.
(e) For purposes of Section 8.3 and 8.4 hereof, the term "Investor"
shall include each Investor in this Agreement and in each of the Prior
Agreements.
(f) Upon the Closing of this Agreement, (1) Section 8.4 of the Prior
Agreements is hereby terminated and shall be of no further force and effect; and
(2) each holder of Series A, Series B and Series C Preferred Stock hereby agrees
to waive the application of Section 8.4 of the Prior Agreements for this
offering.
8.4 Right of First Offer on Certain Secondary Sales. Subject to the
-----------------------------------------------
terms and conditions specified in this Section 8.4, each Investor, Xxxxxxx X.
Xxxx and Xxxx X. Xxxxxx (individually a "Section 8.4 Stockholder") hereby grants
first to the Company, and then to each other Section 8.4 Stockholder
(individually a "Section 8.4 Rights Holder," and collectively the "Section 8.4
Rights Holders") a right of first offer with respect to future sales of shares
of the Company's Common Stock or Preferred Stock (the "Shares") by such Section
8.4 Stockholder. The right of first offer specified in this Section 8.4 shall
expire upon the consummation of the Company's sale of its Common Stock in a
bonafide underwriting pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-1 under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (i) which results in gross proceeds to the
Company of at least $7,500,000, the public offering price of which was not less
than $2.40 per share (as appropriately adjusted to reflect stock dividends,
stock splits or recapitalizations) or (ii) in which all outstanding Preferred
Stock of the Company is converted into Common Stock. The right of first offer
specified in this Section 8.4 shall not apply to transfers to partners,
shareholders, subsidiaries, affiliates, family members, family trusts, the
estate of the holder or any partnership set up to
28.
manage its venture capital investments, provided such transferees agree to said
right of first offer on transfer and any vesting or similar repurchase
agreements.
Each time a Section 8.4 Stockholder (an "Initiating Section 8.4
Stockholder") proposes to offer any Shares, the Section 8.4 Stockholder shall
first make an offering of such shares to each other Section 8.4 Rights Holder in
accordance with the following provisions:
(a) The Initiating Section 8.4 Stockholder shall deliver a written
notice by certified mail or an established overnight courier ("Section 8.4
Notice") to the Section 8.4 Rights Holders stating (i) its bona fide intention
to offer such Shares, (ii) the number of Shares to be offered ("Section 8.4
Shares") and (iii) the price and terms, if any, upon which it proposes to offer
the Section 8.4 Shares.
(b) By written notification received by the Initiating Section 8.4
Stockholder within fifteen (15) calendar days after receiving the Section 8.4
Notice, each Section 8.4 Rights Holder may elect to purchase or obtain, at the
price and on the terms specified in the Section 8.4 Notice, up to that number of
the Section 8.4 Shares equal to the product of the total number of Section 8.4
shares multiplied by a fraction (A) the numerator of which is the number of
shares of Common Stock issued and held, or issuable upon conversion of the
convertible securities of the Company then held by such Section 8.4 Rights
Holder and (B) the denominator of which is the total number of shares of Common
Stock then outstanding (assuming full conversion of all then outstanding
convertible securities of the Company). The Initiating Section 8.4 Stockholder
shall promptly, in writing, inform each Section 8.4 Rights Holder which
purchases all of the Section 8.4 Shares available to it ("Fully-Exercising
Section 8.4 Rights Holder") of any other Section 8.4 Rights Holder's failure to
do likewise. During the ten (10)-day period commencing after receipt of such
information, each Fully-Exercising Section 8.4 Rights Holder shall be entitled
to purchase up to that portion of the Section 8.4 Shares that the Section 8.4
Rights Holders were entitled to subscribe but which were not subscribed for by
the Section 8.4 Rights Holders which is equal to the proportion of that number
of shares of Common Stock issued and held, or issuable upon conversion of
convertible securities of the Company then held, by such Fully-Exercising
Section 8.4 Rights Holder bears to the total number of shares of Common Stock
issued and held, or issuable upon the conversion of convertible securities of
the Company then held, by all Fully-Exercising Section 8.4 Rights Holders who
wish to purchase some of the unsubscribed Shares.
(c) If all of the Section 8.4 Shares which Section 8.4 Rights Holders
are entitled to purchase pursuant to subsection 8.4(b) hereof are not elected to
be purchased as provided in such subsection 8.4(b) hereof, the Initiating
Section 8.4 Stockholder may, during the ninety (90)-day period following the
expiration of the period provided in such subsection 8.4(b), offer the remaining
unsubscribed portion of such Section 8.4 Shares to any person or persons at a
price not less than that, and upon terms no more favorable to the offeree than
those specified in the Section 8.4 Notice. If the Initiating Section 8.4
Stockholder does not enter into an agreement for the sale of such Section 8.4
Shares within such period, or if such
29.
agreement is not consummated within ninety (90) days of the execution thereof,
the right provided herein shall be deemed to be revived and such Section 8.4
Shares shall not be offered unless first reoffered to the Non-Initiating Section
8.4 Stockholders in accordance herewith.
(d) The right of first offer set forth in this Section 8.4 may not be
assigned or transferred, except that (i) such right is assignable by each
Section 8.4 Rights Holder to any wholly-owned subsidiary or parent of, or to any
corporation or entity that is an affiliate of, such Section 8.4 Rights Holder
and (ii) such right may be transferred to a third party who buys at least 500
shares of the Registrable Securities (subject to adjustment for stock splits,
stock dividends, splits, reclassifications and the like) or all shares held by a
Section 8.4 Stockholder.
(e) The Company may, at its discretion, cause any additional purchaser
of capital stock of the Company to agree to comply with the provisions of this
Section 8.4 as such Section 8.4 Stockholder.
8.5 Invention and Proprietary Information Agreements. The Company
------------------------------------------------
shall use its best efforts to cause each of its employees and consultants to
enter into an employee and proprietary information agreement in a form approved
by the Board of Directors of the Company.
8.6 Series D Directors. Each Investor agrees that, as long as H&Q
------------------
holds more than One Hundred Thousand (100,000) shares of Series D Preferred
Stock, adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations and the
like, such Investor shall nominate and vote all shares of Series D Preferred
Stock owned by such Investor for the election to the Company's Board of
Directors pursuant to Section 5(c) of Article IV of the Amended and Restated
Certificate of Incorporation an individual designated by H&Q.
8.7 Termination of Covenants. The covenants set forth in Article 8
------------------------
shall terminate and be of no further force or effect when the sale of securities
pursuant to a registration statement filed by the Company under the Securities
Act in connection with the firm commitment underwritten offering of its
securities to the general public is consummated or when the Company first
becomes subject to the periodic reporting requirements of section 13(a) or 15(d)
of the Exchange Act, whichever event shall first occur; provided that the
Company shall furnish to each Major Investor copies of its reports on Forms 10-K
and 10-Q within 10 days after filing with the SEC.

SCHEDULE C
SCHEDULE OF EXCEPTIONS
----------------------
April 11, 1995
The following exceptions relate to the respective Sections of the Qualix Group,
Inc. Series D Preferred Stock and Warrant Purchase Agreement dated as of April
__, 1995 between Qualix Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and
the Investors (as defined therein).
Section 2.3. The Company currently owns warrants to purchase 18.9%
-----------
of the common stock of Tidalwave Technologies.
Section 2.7. The following is an excerpt from the legal letter
-----------
(February 10, 1995) sent from our litigation counsel, Trepel & Xxxxx, to our
auditors in connection with the audit of the 6/30/94 financial statements:
"There is presently pending the lawsuit sent as an exhibit to this
letter. As of the date of this letter, it is believed that the matter
will be resolved satisfactorily to Qualix and the relief sought in the
complaint will be resolved favorable to Qualix, all as requested in
the complaint. No cross-complaints have been threatened except that a
lawsuit, by one of the principals of Tidalwave has filed a lawsuit
which is sent as the second enclosure to this letter. In our opinion,
that lawsuit has little, if any merit, and should be resolved by the
pending resolution of the lawsuit filed by Qualix against Veritas and
Tidalwave. Xx. Xxxxxxxx, the plaintiff in that litigation is a
principal of Tidalwave but Xx. XxXxxxx, the other principal of
Tidalwave (shareholder) has disavowed that lawsuit."
The two actions above are CV746924 and CV746524.
On February 16, 1995, Qualix agreed directly with Tidalwave
Technologies that all parties would release claims.
On February 18, 1995, Qualix entered into an agreement with Veritas
whereby all parties agree to full releases, with the understanding that this
includes the Principals at Tidalwave Technologies, including Xxxx Xxxxxxxx.
The above agreements are subject to a successful acquisition of
Tidalwave Technologies by Veritas Software.
Section 2.9. The Company has registered the name "Qualix Group" and
-----------
the name "NetScope" with the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
Section 2.11(a). References made to the Restricted Common Stock
---------------
Purchase Agreements between the Company and each of its Common Stockholders
except Xxxxxx Xxx Trombadore, Xxxx Xxxxxxxx, Xxxx Xxxxxxxxx, X. Xxxxxx and X.
Xxxxxx. Agreement for Felt to acquire 120,000 shares of common stock and 40,000
shares of preferred stock.
Section 2.11(b) and (c). The Company has a facility lease agreement
-----------------------
with Norfolk Atrium dated December 1, 1993 and an equipment lease agreement with
Leasetec Corporation dated June 15, 1991. The Company also has a line of credit
of five hundred thousand dollars ($500,000) with Silicon Valley Bank, dated June
22, 1992, pursuant to which the Company has borrowed funds. The Company has
entered into a number of distribution agreements to distribute software products
of third parties. The Company may from time to time enter into distribution or
other agreements which restrict or affect the development, manufacture or
distribution of the Company's products or services. In addition, Qualix has
entered into a publishing arrangement with Tidalwave Technologies which is
beyond a normal distribution agreement.
The Company has entered an agreement with Data General whereby Data
General will OEM the FirstWatch product (owned by Tidalwave) from Qualix.
Section 2.11(c). The Company has had discussions with several venture
---------------
capital investors, private investors and selected companies regarding funding of
the Company's operations.
Section 2.11(e). The Company made an offer to acquire Tidalwave
---------------
Technologies during 1994 and the offer was rejected.
Section 2.15. The Company has an employee group health plan, of
------------
which, Principal Mutual Insurance and Xxxxxx Permanente is the provider. The
Company also has workmen's compensation insurance of which Hartford Accident and
Indemnity Company c/o Insurance by Allied Brokers is the provider.
Section 2.20. The financial statements are currently being audited.
------------
The audit should be complete by March 31, 1995.
Note: We will prepare a package to all the investors to make sure
they have all the financial statements for the last six months to comply with
this provision. It will also include the unaudited financial statements for the
year ended June 30, 1994.
On December 27, 1994, the Company entered into a fee arrangement with
Trepel & Xxxxx, whereby the Company would pay $100,000 non-recoverable retainer
plus 1/3 of any net recovery received. The payment is composed of $37,500 cash
and $62,500 of
2.
Preferred Stock. Subsequent to December 27, 1994, the Company has re-opened
negotiations with respect to the fee arrangement above and is still currently
holding these discussions.
