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

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

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

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