                          PEERLESS SYSTEMS CORPORATION
                       Effective Date: September 30, 2003

This Amendment No. 8 (the "Amendment") to the PostScript Software Development
License and Sublicense Agreement dated July 23, 1999, as previously amended (the
"Agreement"), between Adobe Systems Incorporated ("Adobe") and Peerless Systems
Corporation ("Peerless"), is made by and between Adobe and Peerless.

WHEREAS, the purpose of this Amendment to the Agreement is to allow Peerless to
sublicense to an OEM Customer located in or doing business in the People's
Republic of China (collectively referred to herein and in EXHIBIT Q as a
"PRC-based OEM Customer") the right to reproduce the Adobe Information at a
Reproduction Site located in the People's Republic of China ("PRC").

NOW, THEREFORE, Peerless and Adobe agree to amend the Agreement as follows:

Unless otherwise defined herein, all terms used in this Amendment shall retain
the same meanings as defined in the Agreement and such definitions are
incorporated herein by reference.

1. A new Paragraph 2.2.11 ("Sublicensing of Reproduction Rights to a PRC-based
OEM Customer") is hereby added to the Agreement to read as follows:

          "2.2.11 SUBLICENSING OF REPRODUCTION RIGHTS TO A PRC-BASED OEM
CUSTOMER. Peerless may sublicense to a PRC-based OEM Customer the right to
reproduce the Adobe Information at a Reproduction Site located in the PRC in
accordance with the requirements set forth in EXHIBIT Q ("Additional Terms and
Conditions for Reproduction of Adobe Information By PRC-based OEM Customer") of
the Agreement. Notwithstanding the above, Peerless is prohibited from
sublicensing to a PRC-based OEM Customer, any right of access to or use of the
Adobe Certification Test Suite, Adobe Development Tools, Adobe Header Files,
Demonstration Programs or any other Adobe Information in source code form or a
Peerless SDK. A failure by Peerless to sublicense reproduction rights to a
PRC-based OEM Customer in accordance with the requirements in this Paragraph and
in EXHIBIT Q shall constitute a material breach by Peerless and Peerless shall
be liable to Adobe for any damages or losses arising out of such
non-compliance."

2. EXHIBIT Q ("Additional Terms And Conditions For Reproduction of Adobe
Information By PRC-based OEM Customer") is attached hereto and made a part
hereof.

3. All other terms and conditions set forth in the Agreement shall remain in
full force and effect. The term "Agreement" as used in the Agreement and all
other instruments and agreements executed thereunder shall for all purposes
refer to the Agreement as amended by this Amendment No. 8.

1. This Amendment applies to Peerless Systems Corporation ("Peerless") and any
of its PRC-based OEM Customers who have been or will be granted distribution
rights in accordance with Paragraph 2.2.10 ("Sublicensing of Reproduction and
Distribution Rights Only") of the Agreement and Peerless wishes to grant to such

Peerless' PRC-based OEM Customer shall register the Technology Contract with the
relevant PRC authorities in accordance with the Technology Regulations if the
technology to be reproduced by Peerless' PRC-based OEM Customer is classified as
