                instances, shall be deemed to be or construed as a waiver of the
                same or any other term or condition of this Agreement on any
                future occasion. All remedies, either under this Agreement or by
                Law or otherwise afforded, will be cumulative and not
                alternative.

        4.6     Amendment. This Agreement may be amended, supplemented or
                modified only by a written instrument duly executed by or on
                behalf of each party hereto.

        4.7     No Third Party Beneficiary. The terms provisions of this
                Agreement are intended solely for the benefit of each party
                hereto and their respective successors or permitted assigns, and
                it is not the intention of the parties to confer third-party
                beneficiary rights upon any other Person.

        4.8     No Assignment; Binding Effect. Neither this Agreement nor any
                right, interest or obligation hereunder may be assigned by any
                party hereto without the prior written consent of the other
                party hereto and any attempt to do so will be void, except (a)
                for assignments and transfers by operation of Law and (b) that
                Purchaser may assign any or all of its rights, interests and
                obligations hereunder to (I) an Affiliate or wholly-owned
                subsidiary, provided that any such Affiliate or subsidiary
                agrees in writing to be bound by all of the terms,

                conditions and provisions contained herein, (II) any
                post-Closing purchaser of the Siemens Laser Printer Maintenance
                Business or a substantial part of the Assets or (III) any
                financial institution providing purchase money or other
                financing to Purchaser from time to time as collateral security
                for such financing, but no such assignment referred to in clause
                (I) or (II) shall relieve Purchaser of its obligations
                hereunder. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement is
                binding upon, insures to the benefit of and is enforceable by
                the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

        4.9     Headings. The headings used in this Agreement have been inserted
                for convenience of reference only and do not define or limit the

        4.10    Consent to Jurisdiction. Each party hereby irrevocably submits
                to the jurisdiction of the Superior court of the State of

                proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any
                of the Operative Agreements or any of the transactions
                contemplated hereby and agrees that any such action, suit or
                proceeding shall be brought only in such court. Each party
                hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by
                Law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the
                laying of the venue of any such actin, suit or proceeding
                brought in such court and any claim that any such action, suit
                or proceeding brought in such a court has been brought in an
                inconvenient forum.

        4.11    Invalid Provisions. If any provision of this Agreement is held
                to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under any present or
                future Law, and if the rights or obligations of any party hereto
                under this Agreement will not be materially and adversely
                affected thereby, (a) such provision will be fully severable,
                (b) this Agreement will be construed and enforced as if such
                illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision had never comprised
                a part hereof and (c) the remaining provisions of this Agreement
                will remain in full force and effect and will not be affected by
                the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision or by its
                severance herefrom.

        4.12    Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed
                in accordance with the Laws of the State of California
                applicable to a contract executed and performed in such State,
                without giving effect to the conflicts of laws principles
                thereof.

        4.13    Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
                counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original, but all
                of which together will constitute one and the same instrument.
