                             DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENT

        THIS AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") is made and entered into as of
        September 22, 1993 by and between INGRAM MICRO INC., a California
        corporation (hereinafter "Ingram") and XEROX IMAGING SYSTEMS, INC., a
        Delaware corporation (hereinafter "Vendor").

                                    RECITALS

        Vendor manufactures, produces, and/or supplies microcomputer products
        and desires to grant to Ingram the right to sell and distribute certain
        of those products, as hereinafter defined, upon the terms and conditions
        set forth below. Ingram is engaged in the sale and distribution of
        microcomputer products and desires to have the right to sell and
        distribute Vendor's products upon said terms and conditions.

        In consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements set forth below,
        the hereto below agree as follows:

                        1. GRANT OF DISTRIBUTION RIGHTS.

        1.1 Vendor hereby appoints Ingram as a non-exclusive, authorized
        distributor of the Vendor software products listed in Exhibit A ("the
        Software") to Ingram's customers within the United States and Canada.
        Vendor grants to Ingram, and Ingram accepts, the right to use for
        demonstration and its own purposes, upon payment of any applicable
        license fees, the Software under the terms and conditions of the license
        agreement contained in the packaging thereof. Further, Vendor grants to
        Ingram the right to distribute as agent on behalf of Vendor the Software
        to Ingram's customers within the United States and Canada provided that
        Ingram shall market the Software in the unopened shrink-wrapped package
        as delivered to Ingram, containing the Vendor Software License Agreement
        included therein.

        1.2 Vendor agrees to make available and to sell to Ingram such Software
        as Ingram shall order from Vendor at the prices and subject to the terms
        set forth in this Agreement.

        1.3 Vendor may appoint other distributors to distribute its Software.
        Ingram shall have the right to obtain and/or retain the rights to
        distribute any other products, including products which may compete with
        the Software.

        1.4 The party's sole relationship with each other shall be that of an
        independent contractor. Neither party shall make any warranties or
        representations, or assume or create any obligations, on the other's
        behalf without that other's written approval. Each party shall be solely
        responsible for the actions of all their respective employees, agents
        and representatives.

                                    2. TERM.

        2.1 The term of this Agreement shall be for a period of one (1) year,
        beginning on the date first above written. Thereafter, this Agreement
        shall be renewed for successive one (1) year terms without further
        notice, unless terminated sooner as provided under the provisions of
        this Agreement.

        2.2 Either party may terminate this Agreement, with or without cause, by
        giving ninety (90) days' written notice to the other party.

                            3. OBLIGATIONS OF VENDOR.

        3.1 Vendor shall use its best efforts to fill orders promptly. However,
        Vendor shall not be liable for any loss occasioned by a delay in
        delivery. Upon twenty-four (24) hour notification to Ingram, Vendor may
        make partial shipments of pending orders, each of which shall be
        separately invoiced and which shall be paid according to the payment
        terms set forth herein.

        3.2 At no charge to Ingram, Vendor shall support the Software and any
        efforts to sell the Software by Ingram, and provide sales literature,
        advertising materials and reasonable training and support in the sale
        and use of the Software to Ingram's employees and customers, if
        requested by Ingram.

        3.3 Vendor shall use reasonable efforts to give Ingram at least thirty
        (30) days' notice prior to the release of software which is directly
        associated with the Software listed in Exhibit A and may, in its sole
        discretion, make such Software available for distribution by Ingram.
        Addition of software to Exhibit A shall be mutually agreed upon by the
        parties.

        3.4 Vendor agrees to maintain sufficient Software inventory to permit it
        to fill Ingam's orders as required herein. If a shortage of any Software
        in Vendor's inventory exists in spite of Vendor's good faith efforts,
        Vendor agrees to allocate its available inventory of such Software to
        Ingram in proportion to Ingram's percentage of all of Vendor's customer
        orders for such Software during the previous sixty (60) days.

        3.5 For each Software shipment to Ingram, Vendor shall issue to Ingram
        an invoice showing Ingram's order number and the Software part number,
        description, price and any discount. At least monthly, Vendor shall
        provide Ingram with a current statement of account, listing all invoices
        outstanding and any payments made and credits given since the date of
        the previous statement, if any.

                            4. OBLIGATIONS OF INGRAM.

        4.1 Ingram will list the Software in one or more of its catalogs and
        make the Software available to its customers.

        4.2 Ingram will advertise and/or promote the Software in a commercially
        reasonable manner and will transmit Software information and promotional
        materials to its customers, as reasonably necessary.

        4.3 As reasonably necessary, Ingram will make its facilities available
        for, and will assist Vendor in providing, Software training and support
        required under Section 3.2 hereof.

        4.4 Ingram will provide Software technical assistance to its customers
        as it is reasonably able to do so, and will refer all other technical
        matters directly to Vendor.

        4.5 On or before the effective date of this Agreement, Ingram shall
        issue to Vendor a noncancelable initial order for the minimum number of
        units of Software required in Exhibit A of this Agreement. Any
        subsequent orders made by Ingram to Vendor will require an order for the
        minimum number of units stated in Exhibit A.

        4.6 Units of Software returned to Ingram by its dealer customers under
        the Vendor's Money Back Guarantee shall in turn be returned by Ingram to
        Vendor for credit against future orders not more than once per calendar
        month, with costs of shipping to be borne by Vendor. Before shipping any
        Software to Vendor pursuant to this Section, Ingram shall first obtain a
        return authorization number from Vendor by contacting Vendor's corporate
        headquarters in Peabody, MA. Once the returned Software has been
        received by Vendor, Vendor shall credit Ingram's account with such
        credit to be used by Ingram against future orders.

        The terms of Vendor's Money Back Guarantee are subject to change by
        Vendor upon thirty (30) days written notice to Ingram.

        4.7 Ingram shall use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain
        complete customer records for five (5) years after each sale. Ingram
        shall also provide to Vendor reasonable assistance to investigate any
        health, safety, or other legitimate concern relating to the Software.
        This obligations shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

        4.8 Ingram shall provide to Vendor, within ten (10) days after the end
        of each calendar month (i) a detailed report by Software type of sale
        made during the previous calendar month within territories predefined by
        Vendor; and (ii) a detailed report of all Software in Ingram's inventory
        by location as of the end of the previous calendar month.

                               5. PRICE AND TERMS.

        5.1 The price and applicable discount, if any, for the Software shall be
        as set forth in Exhibit A. Ingram shall not be bound to sell Software to
        its customers at any prices suggested by Vendor.

<PAGE>   4

        5.2 Vendor shall have the right to change the list price of any Software
        upon giving thirty (30) days' prior written notice to Ingram. In the
        event that Vendor shall raise the list price of a Software, all orders
        for such Software placed prior to the effective date of the price
        increase shall be invoiced at the lower price.

        5.3 In the event of a decrease in the price of the Software, Vendor
        shall grant to Ingram a credit with respect to those units of such
        Software purchased by Ingram within the one hundred eighty (180) day
        period preceding the effective date of the price decrease and which
        remain in Ingram's inventory on the effective date of the price
        decrease. Such credit shall be equal to the difference between the price
        paid by Ingram and the adjusted price provided that Ingram applies for
        such price protection credit within thirty (30) days from the date of
        Vendor's public announcement of the price revision. This price
        protection credit may only be applied towards future purchases of Vendor
        Software.

        5.4 Payment in full for Ingram's initial order shall be made within
        ninety (90) days after the date of the Vendor invoice. Payment in full
        for each subsequent order shipped to Ingram shall be made within sixty
        (60) days after the date of the Vendor invoice. Should Vendor reasonably
        determine at any time that it should no longer extend credit to Ingram
        for orders, then Vendor may require Ingram to pay cash in advance or
        upon delivery or present an irrevocable letter of credit. If payment in
        full is made within ten (10) days of the invoice, one percent (1%) of
        the invoice amount (not including freight) may be deducted by Ingram
        from the amount due on that invoice. If payment in full is made prior to
        shipment, two percent (2%) of the invoice amount (not including freight)
        may be deducted by Ingram from the amount due on that invoice.

        5.5 Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the
        contrary, Ingram shall not be deemed in default under this Agreement if
        it withholds any payment to Vendor because of a legitimate dispute
        between the parties. If invoices are not paid in a timely manner, Vendor
        may refuse further shipments until Ingram's account is paid in full. *

        5.6 Ingram shall pay any and all sales, property, use, or excise taxes,
        duties or similar charges relating to the Software assessed by any
        government authority or regulatory agency unless Ingram presents Vendor
        with a valid certificate of exemption. Personal property taxes
        assessable on Software after delivery to the carrier are also Ingram's
        responsibility.

                                  6. SHIPPING.

        6.1 Vendor shall ship Software only pursuant to Ingram purchase orders
        received by Vendor. Delivery shall be effective when Software is placed
        in the possession of a carrier designated by Ingram on its standard
        freight routing instructions attached as Exhibit C and as may be amended
        by Ingram, packed with Vendor's standard commercial packing or other
        special packing materials requested by Ingram, F.O.B. point of origin.
        Title to the Software remains with Vendor (or its licensor) at all
        times, but risk of loss or damage passes to Ingram upon delivery to
        Ingram's carrier. Ingram shall be responsible for all costs of delivery.

        *Stopping shipment shall not constitute a termination of this Agreement.

                 7. COOPERATIVE ADVERTISING AND MARKETING FUNDS.

        7.1 Ingram may advertise and promote the Software and/or Vendor in a
        commercially reasonable manner and may use Vendor's trademarks, service
        marks and trade names in connection therewith; provided that, Ingram
        shall submit the advertisement or promotion to Vendor for review and
        approval prior to initial release, which approval shall not be
        unreasonably withheld or delayed.

        7.2 Vendor agrees to cooperate with Ingram in advertising and promoting
        the Software and/or Vendor and hereby grants Ingram a cooperative
        advertising allowance of up to five percent (5%) of invoice amounts for
        Software purchased by Ingram from Vendor to the extent that Ingram or
        customer/dealers use the allowance for any advertising and promoting
        which features Software and/or Vendor. Upon receipt of reasonable
        evidence of advertising expenditures, Vendor agrees to credit the amount
        of any such expenditures against future purchases by Ingram.

        7.3 Vendor agrees to participate in the "Go With Ingram Micro" marketing
        program currently in effect. The cooperative advertising allowance
        granted under Section 7.2 above shall be reduced by two percent (2%) as
        specified in Exhibit B attached hereto. This program is subject to the
        terms and conditions set forth on Exhibit B attached hereto and made a
        part hereof.

        7.4 Vendor understands that additional marketing programs may be offered
        by Ingram to Vendor. Such programs may include a launch program that
        requires additional funds in addition to the cooperative advertising
        funds specified in Section 7.2. Participation in such additional
        marketing programs shall be at the sole discretion of Vendor.

                             8. DEMONSTRATION UNITS.

        8.1 At the request of Ingram, Vendor shall consign to Ingram a
        reasonable number, as determined by Vendor, of demonstration units of
        the Software to aid Ingram and its sales staff in the support and
        promotion of the Software. All units consigned will be returned to
        Vendor in good condition, reasonable wear and tear excepted, when
        requested by Vendor at any time eleven (11) months after delivery to
        Ingram.

                               9. STOCK BALANCING.

        9.1 GENERAL STOCK BALANCING. Ingram may return unused, unopened units of
        Software which are contained in Vendor's then-current price list no more
        often than once per calendar month, for purposes of stock rebalancing or
        product exchange. Returns shall be shipped at Ingram's expense and must
        be accompanied by an order for Software of an equivalent dollar value.

        9.2 RETURNS AFTER TERMINATION. Upon termination, Vendor shall, at
        Ingram's request, repurchase one hundred percent (100%) of Ingram's
        purchases from Vendor during the calendar quarter preceding such
        termination. All Software must be new and unopened. Each party shall
        bear fifty percent (50%) of the cost of returning the Software to
        Vendor.

        9.3 RETURNS AFTER PRODUCT DISCONTINUATION. Vendor shall use its best
        efforts to provide Ingram with thirty (30) days written notice prior to
        Vendor's discontinuation of any Software. Upon receipt of such notice,
        Ingram may return all unused, unopened units of discontinued Software
        which remain in Ingram's inventory on the date such notice is received.

                             10. PRODUCT WARRANTIES.

        10.1 Vendor provides a warranty to the initial End-User of each unit of
        Software which covers the media upon which the Software is embedded for
        a period of ninety (90) days from the date of purchase by such End-User.
        Vendor expressly excludes any other warranties in relation to the
        Software, whether express, implied by statute, or otherwise, including,
        and without limitation, any warranty of merchantability or fitness for a
        particular purpose.

        10.2 Vendor's sole obligation shall be to issue a credit to be used
        against future purchases to Ingram for any media that proves to be
        defective during the warranty period. Units of Software returned to
        Ingram by its dealer customers under this warranty shall in turn be
        returned by Ingram to Vendor for credit to be used against future
        purchases, with such returns to take place not more than once per
        calendar month, with shipping costs to be borne by Vendor. Before
        shipping any Software to Vendor pursuant to this Section, Ingram shall
        first obtain a return authorization number from Vendor by contacting
        Vendor's corporate headquarters in Peabody, MA. Once the returned
        Software has been received by Vendor, Vendor shall issue a credit to
        Ingram for use against future purchases. Neither Ingram or its dealer
        customers may expand or alter this warranty.

        10.3 In the event Vendor recalls any or all of the Software due to
        defects, revisions, or upgrades, Ingram shall provide reasonable
        assistance in such recall; provided that, Vendor shall pay all of
        Ingram's expenses in connection with such recall, including handling
        charges per unit of Software of not less than two and one-half percent
        (2-1/2%) of the Product's list price.

                                 11. INDEMNITY.

        11.1 Vendor shall defend Ingram from, and pay any judgment for direct
        infringement of any United States patent, trademark or copyright by any
        of the Software if Ingram promptly notifies Vendor in writing of any
        infringement assertion, and allows and assists Vendor to defend any
        infringement suit. Vendor shall not be liable for litigation expenses or
        settlements by other parties unless Vendor agrees in writing. If any
        infringement is asserted against Vendor or Ingram, Vendor, at its
        option, may obtain a license at no cost to Ingram, or modify or remove
        the Software, or substitute software. Vendor is not liable for any
        infringement due to the Software being made or modified to Ingram
        specifications or designs, modified other than by Vendor; used or sold
        in combination with any equipment, software or supplies not provided by
        Vendor; or used to produce images in violation of the proprietary rights
        of third parties. The liability of Vendor under this Section shall be
        limited in all instances to one million dollars ($1,000,000.). Vendor
        makes no other express or implied warranty of noninfringement and has no
        other liability for infringement or any damages thereon.

        11.2 The foregoing indemnity does not apply, and Ingram agrees to
        indemnify Vendor (including all costs and attorneys' fees), with respect
        to any claim brought against Vendor concerning patent or copyright
        infringement allegedly from (1) the combination or utilization by Ingram
        of any Software with equipment not made or provided by Vendor; (2) the
        unauthorized modification of any Software by Ingram; (3) any Software
        manufactured by Vendor to Ingram's specifications; or (4) the production
        of images by Ingram in violation of the proprietary rights of third
        parties. If any claim of patent infringement is made under the foregoing
        circumstances, Vendor may refuse to make further shipments to Ingram.
        The liability of Ingram under this Section shall be limited in all
        instances to one million dollars ($1,000,000.). Ingram makes no other
        express or implied warranty of noninfringement and has no other
        liability for infringement or any damages thereon.

        11.3 Vendor is named as a party in any suit commenced on a claim under
        the circumstances set forth in Section 11.2, Ingram shall defend such
        suit, and Vendor shall assist Ingram (at Ingram's expense) in any
        reasonable manner. Ingram shall have sole control over the defense and
        settlement negotiations.

        11.4 Each party (the "indemnifying party") agrees, if promptly notified
        by the other and given the right to control the defense and approve any
        settlements thereof, to indemnify and hold harmless the other party
        hereto (the "indemnified party") from and against all claims or
        liabilities of third parties arising out of this Agreement and (1)
        attributable to personal injury (including death) or damage to tangible
        property and (2) proximately caused by the intentional, reckless, or
        negligent act or omission of the indemnifying party. Such
        indemnification shall include the payment of reasonable attorneys' fees
        and other costs incurred by the indemnified party in defending against
        such claims. The indemnifying party shall no liability under the
        foregoing indemnity for incidental, consequential, indirect, or special
        damages, including but not limited to loss of profits. The indemnifying
        party shall have no obligation hereunder with respect to any claim or
        cause of action or portion thereof for damages to persons (including
        death) or damage to tangible property proximately caused by the fault,
        culpability or negligence of any person other than the indemnifying
        party.

        DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, WHETHER SUCH
        LIABILITY ARISES FROM ANY CLAIM BASED UPON CONTRACT, WARRANTY, TORT OR
        OTHERWISE, SHALL IN NO EVENT EXCEED THE TOTAL AMOUNT PAID BY TO VENDOR
        BY INGRAM FOR THE SOFTWARE GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM. IN NO EVENT SHALL
        EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE FOR LOST PROFITS, ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT,

        12.1 Vendor shall clearly mark on the packaging of each unit of Software
        the Software's name and computer compatibility. Such packaging shall
        also bear a machine-readable bar code identifier scannable in standard
        ABCD format which identifies the Software and its serial number and
        fully complies with all conditions regarding standard product labeling
        set forth in "Ingram Micro's Guide To Bar Code: The Product Label," as
        amended from time to time.

                       13. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.

        Vendor warrants and represents that:

        13.1 The Software or its use does not infringe upon any United States
        patents, copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, or other proprietary
        rights of others, and that there are not any suits or proceedings
        pending or threatened which allege that any Software or the use thereof
        infringes upon such proprietary rights;

        13.2 The Software prices offered herein are equal to the prices
        available to any like distributor within the United States to whom
        Vendor sells the Software. In the future all prices for Software made
        available to Ingram shall be at least equal to the prices available to
        any like distributor in the United States of the Software;

        13.3 Sales to Ingram of the Software at the listed prices and/or
        discounts do not in any way constitute violations of federal, state, or
        local laws, ordinances, rules or regulations, including any antitrust
        laws or trade regulations;

                     GO WITH INGRAM MICRO MARKETING PROGRAM

          Vendor agrees to participate in the "Go with Ingram Micro" marketing
          program (hereinafter the "Program") subject to the following terms and
          conditions:

          1. Vendor hereby grants to Ingram a Program allowance equal to two
          percent (2%) of invoice amounts for Software purchased by Ingram. Upon
          receipt of reasonable evidence of advertising expenditures, Vendor
          agrees to credit the amount of any such expenditures against future
          purchases by Ingram. The cooperative advertising allowance granted
          under Section 7.2 of the Agreement shall be reduced by an amount equal
          to the Program allowance granted hereunder, it being the understanding
          of the parties that the Program allowance is to be a part of the
          cooperative advertising allowance and not an addition thereto. Ingram
          agrees to reconcile and adjust the Program allowance quarterly to
          account for any Software returns.

          2. The Program allowance will be used by Ingram to fund Software
          promotions and advertising, to provide general sales incentives
          throughout its distribution channels, and to administer the Program.

          3. The term of the Program shall end on June 30 following the
          commencement date of this Agreement, and shall be renewed for
          successive one (1) year terms without further notice, subject to
          Ingram's right to terminate the Program, or Vendor's right to
          terminate its participation therein, at the end of a term by giving
          the other party at least ninety (90) days' written notice prior to the
          end of the term.

        Agreement. All monies due to ScanSoft from Buyer shall become
        immediately due and payable upon any termination.

14.2    Termination or nonrenewal shall not relieve either party of obligations

        production and distribution of the Software (2) cease using the name
        "ScanSoft, Inc." or "ScanSoft" and any Marks; (3) inform ScanSoft of all

                relevant materials and shall so warrant in writing to ScanSoft
                within thirty (30) days of termination or expiration, except
                that Buyer may retain one (1) copy of the Software only for the
                purposes of providing its customers with ongoing support. Buyer
                may distribute any paid-for Software in its possession after
                termination or expiration.

        in writing and made by personal service, sent via certified mail return
        receipt requested, by electronic mail via the Xerox intranet or by

        Section. In any event that the parties are unable to informally resolve
        any material dispute, it will be submitted to a Senior Xerox Executive

        Buyer.

15.5    NO IMPLIED WAIVERS. Failure of either party to require strict
        performance by the other party of any provision shall not affect the
        first party's right to require strict performance thereafter. Waiver by
        either party of a breach of any provision shall not waive either the
        provision itself or any subsequent breach.

15.6    SEVERABILITY. A judicial determination that any provision of this
        Agreement is invalid in whole or part shall not affect the
        enforceability of other provisions.

        obtained from ScanSoft hereunder to any country for which the United

        incorporated by reference, constitute the entire agreement between the
