          Title and Risk of Loss
          ----------------------

          a.   United States. In the case of shipments to shipping destinations
               in the United States, title (but only to the extent title passes)
               to the VLA Products, exclusive of the rights retained under the
               Agreement (Marks, patents, copyrights, trade names, trade secrets
               and other intellectual property) and all risk of loss shall pass
               to Customer or Rainmaker upon

                                       8
<PAGE>

               delivery at Novell's designated shipping facility to the carrier.
               If Rainmaker is authorized in this Agreement or any amendment
               hereto to distribute VLA Products outside the United States,
               title and risk of loss to the VLA Products for any sale
               consummated between Novell and Rainmaker will pass as in
               subsection b below. The Parties agree that the passage of title
               and risk of loss will pass from Novell to Customer or Rainmaker
               off the shores of the United States.

          b.   Outside the United States. Reference in this Section to title
               -------------------------
               passage with respect to all shipments of VLA Products from
               Rainmaker to destinations in Canada or Latin America means title
               to the VLA Products exclusive of all rights retained by Novell
               under the Agreement in Marks, patents, copyrights, trade names,
               trade secrets and intellectual property. The Parties agree that
               beneficial and legal title to, ownership of, right to possession
               of, control over, and risks of loss and damage to, the VLA
               Products remains with Novell until the shipment physically
               arrives at the port of entry in the importing country. The time
               of payment, whether before or after shipment, the method of
               shipment, the manner of consignment, whether to Novell or its
               agent, to Rainmaker or Rainmaker's agent, or both, or any
               document in relation to any sale under the Agreement will in no
               way limit or modify the right of Novell as the legal and
               beneficial owner of the VLA Products, its right to control and
               its right to possession of the goods until they physically arrive
               at the port of entry of the importing country. Any use of the
               terms "F.O.B.," "F.A.S.," "C&F," or "CFR" in the Agreement
               applies only to price and not to title. It is expressly
               understood that the foregoing will not be construed to mean that
               Novell has merely retained bare legal title for security
               purposes, but rather retains legal title and full beneficial
               ownership until the shipment arrives at the port of entry of the
               country of destination. If Rainmaker insures the shipment,
               insurance policies will protect the interest of Novell as the
               legal owner of the merchandise until title transfers as set forth
               above.

          c.   Nothing in Sections a or b authorizes Rainmaker to distribute
               Novell Product outside the ________________________. If such
               authorization is granted, it shall be granted in the definition
               of the Territory.

     8.6  Inventory Management. It is not anticipated that Rainmaker will
          --------------------
          inventory any Novell VLA Product under this Agreement. However, in the
          event Rainmaker does inventory VLA Product under this Agreement,
          Rainmaker is responsible for inventory management and will reconcile
          inventory each month. Rainmaker assumes all risk of loss, theft,
          disappearance, destruction, damage or accident to inventory. Rainmaker
          shall, at its own expense, provide and maintain at least the kinds and
          minimum amounts of insurance as described in the Section entitled
          "Insurance" of the Agreement. In the event of lost, missing, or
          damaged product, Rainmaker will reimburse Novell at 100% of the price
          paid for the Product (material replacement costs).

     Certain information on this page has been omitted and filed separately with

     8.7  Inventory Balancing. Once, during each fiscal quarter (based on
          -------------------
          Novell's accounting year November-October), Rainmaker may return for
          credit a quantity of excess inventory, the value of which shall not
          exceed __ of Rainmaker's net dollar sales invoiced by Novell during
          the immediately preceding Fiscal Quarter for Novell Products. The
          credit issued for the returns inventory will be the actual purchase
          price paid by Rainmaker. This quarterly return may include defective
          product, new and upgrade product not designated by Novell as Exception
          Rotations in Section 8.10 of this SOW. In the event inventory was
          purchased on a promotional price basis, credit issued will be based on
          the promotional price Rainmaker paid for that Novell Product. This
          inventory balancing privilege shall apply only if:

          a.   Rainmaker obtains a Novell Return Material Authorization (RMA)
               prior to returning the Novell Products;

          b.   Rainmaker fills out and submits a stock rotation request;

          c.   Rainmaker returns the Novell Products no later than the end of
               the second month of the Fiscal Quarter:

          d.   At the time of the return, Rainmaker places an order for new
               product in a volume equal to or greater than the return.

          Novell reserves the right to make partial approvals of any stock
          rotation request. Rainmaker will not return, and Novell will have no
          obligation to accept, any product after one year past an announced
          obsolete date.

     8.8  Debit Memos. In the event Rainmaker believes there is a discrepancy in
          -----------
          connection with an invoice or inventory balancing, or relating to
          marketing fund accruals or grants issued by Novell, Rainmaker agrees
          to give Novell written notice of the discrepancy within 90 days from
          the date of the applicable invoice, inventory balancing or funding
          grant. These discrepancies include but are not limited to short
          shipments, misshipments, pricing variations or other discrepancies. If
          Rainmaker falls to give such notice within the required time period,
          Rainmaker agrees that Novell may conclusively presume the invoice,
          inventory balancing or fund grant to have been accurate. Rainmaker
          also agrees not to use or attempt to use a debit memo as a mechanism
          to resolve financial disputes with Novell. Rainmaker agrees that any
          debit memo relating to any dispute must be preceded by a credit memo
          issued by Novell covering that dispute.

     8.9  Exception Rotations. From time to time, Novell will release new
          -------------------
          products or new versions of existing Products that will render
          obsolete an existing Novell Product. Rainmaker shall have the right to
          return certain of such obsoleted Products to Novell for credit against
          an order of equal volume placed at the time of the return. Products
          which qualify for Exception Rotation under this Section and the
          associated rotation window shall be listed in Novell Product
          Announcements.

          Exception Rotations shall not be counted against Inventory Balancing
          set forth in Section 8.8 of this SOW. This exception rotation
          privilege shall apply only if:

          a.   Rainmaker obtains a Novell Return Material Authorization (RMA)
               prior to returning the Novell Products;

          b.   Rainmaker fills out and submits a stock rotation request; and

          c.   Rainmaker returns the Novell Products no later than the end of
               the second month of the Fiscal Quarter.

          Novell reserves the right to make partial approvals of any stock
          rotation request. Rainmaker agrees to pay a ___ handling fee on
          returns of previously obsoleted Products not returned within the
          announced exception return window. Rainmaker will not return, and
          Novell will have no obligation to accept, any Product after one year
