Software Addendum #1, dated April 1, 1997 as amended (collectively referred to
as the "LSA #1") under which Peerless granted Kyocera certain rights in its
Licensed Software Products; and,

WHEREAS, the parties agree that the LSA #1 should be further amended to reflect
business terms, modifications and changes previously agreed to between the
parties, as detailed in this Amendment #3.

NOW THEREFORE, the parties agree to the following modifications, revisions and
additions to the LSA #1:

1.  Kyocera shall pay to Peerless U.S.$* (* dollars) within thirty (30) days of

amend the LSA to:

    a)   Extend the Monochrome and Color pre-paid Limited Distribution Licenses
         issued under this LSA #1 until December 31, 2001 under the same terms
         and conditions contained in LSA #1 as amended hereto. Kyocera agrees
         that it shall relinquish any claim of recovery to any portion of the
         License granted under LSA #1 hereto which has not been offset by actual
         Equivalent Recurring License Fees (as described in Section 7.3 of the
         LSA #1); and

    b)   Add an additional Limited Distribution License for Monochrome and Color
         Products with a value of U.S. $* (* dollars) which shall be granted by
         Peerless to Kyocera under the same terms and conditions established
         under LSA #1, except for the following modifications:

         i)    The Equivalent Recurring License Fee shall be *% (* percent) for
               both Monochrome and Color products.

         ii)   The License granted herein shall remain effective until the
               incremental U.S. $* (* dollars) license is fully offset by actual
               earned Equivalent Recurring License Fees.

    c)   Extend the Unlimited License on the Drivers for the PeerlessPrint(R)5C
         Win3.1/95/98/NT4.0, the PeerlessPrint(R)XL Win3.1/95/98/NT4.0 and the
         PeerlessPrint(R)XL v2.0 Win3.1/95/98/NT4.0 to be contemporaneous with
         the Licenses granted in Section 1a) and 1b) above.

2. Kyocera agrees that Peerless has completed, and Kyocera has accepted, all
deliverables associated with this Amendment #3. This Amendment #3 does not
