GENERAL
Phoenix Technologies Ltd. was incorporated in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts on September 17, 1979, and was reincorporated in the State of Delaware on December 24, 1986. Unless the context indicates otherwise, the "Company" or "Phoenix" refers to Phoenix Technologies Ltd. and its subsidiaries.
Phoenix designs, develops and markets essential software to manufacturers of personal computer products ("PCs"). This software presently consists of system software and related applications software products for PCs. The Company provides these products to PC manufacturers, PC peripheral equipment manufacturers, and system board manufacturers ("OEMs"). Phoenix's products permit OEMs to enter new markets quickly while enabling product differentiation and increasing system value. Phoenix system software products can reduce an OEM's product time to market, development risks, and support costs.
The Company markets and licenses its products and services worldwide, primarily to OEMs. The Company's system software customers range from large PC manufacturers to small system integrators. The Company's revenue consists of license and engineering fees. Phoenix markets its products and services through a direct sales force, regional distributors, and sales representatives. Phoenix also promotes its products through Company newsletters and technical bulletins, coverage in trade and business press articles, advertising, and participation in industry trade shows and conferences.
Rapid technological change and the frequent introduction of new products incorporating new technologies characterize the personal computer industry. The introduction of products embodying new technologies often results in the emergence of new industry standards, rendering existing products obsolete. To remain competitive, manufacturers must respond quickly to such technological changes. This rapid pace of PC industry change can benefit Phoenix as it provides a continuous flow of opportunities for the Company to provide high value technology and support to its customers. However, if the Company or its customers are unable, for technological or other reasons, to develop products in a timely manner in response to changes in the PC industry, the Company's business would be materially and adversely affected.
The Company develops, and licenses (or purchases) from others, software products to market to PC OEMs. Because the PC industry is subject to rapid technological changes, the Company expects to continue to dedicate significant resources to the development and acquisition of new products and enhancements to existing products. However, there can be no assurance that the Company's product development efforts will be successful or, even if they are successful, that any resulting products will achieve market acceptance.
Research and development costs from continuing operations, before the capitalization of internally developed software costs, were 25% of total revenue in fiscal 1995, and 11% in fiscal 1994 and 1993. On an actual dollar basis, these costs grew to $12,374,000 in fiscal 1995, a 35% increase from fiscal 1994. Fiscal 1994 research and development costs rose 30% from $7,045,000 in fiscal 1993. With respect to continuing operations, the Company capitalized approximately $1,336,000, $2,246,000, and $961,000, of internally developed software in fiscal 1995, 1994, and 1993, respectively. The Company believes continued investment in new and evolving technologies is essential to meet rapidly changing industry requirements. As a result, the Company purchased or licensed additional technology related assets for use in its continuing operations in the amount of $338,000 in fiscal 1995, $405,000 in fiscal 1994, $7,145,000 in 1993 (a substantial portion of the 1993 amount was written off in fiscal 1994). These assets consist primarily of prepaid royalties under licenses from third parties for PC compatibility, sub-notebook and fax modem products.
In fiscal 1995, none of the Company's customers accounted for more than 10% of total revenue. Packard Bell Corporation ("Packard Bell") and Compaq Computer Corporation ("Compaq") did, however, account for more than 10% of the Company's total revenue during fiscal years 1994 and 1993. Revenue from Packard Bell and its subsidiaries was $16,211,000 or 18.8% and $9,474,000 or 14.3% of revenue from continuing operations for fiscal years 1994 and 1993, respectively. Revenue from Compaq and its subsidiaries was $11,630,000 or 13.5% in fiscal 1994 and $15,455,000 or 23.3% of revenue from continuing operations in fiscal 1993. In fiscal 1995, 1994, and 1993, approximately 47%, 44%, and 45%, respectively, of the Company's revenue from continuing operations was attributable to customers outside the United States. For purposes of this report, revenue from continuing operations includes all revenue from the Publishing Division and excludes revenue from the Printer Software Division.
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
The Company is divided into two related product groups: the PC system-level software group and the OEM consumer software group.
PC SYSTEM-LEVEL SOFTWARE: In the PC system-level software product area the Company develops and markets software products that enable PC, peripheral, and system board manufacturers to integrate existing and emerging industry standards and new technologies into PC platforms. The Company offers a complete line of system software, including BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) products, for desktop, portable, and special purpose PC systems based on the family of x86 microprocessors. The system software products include system BIOS products and configuration management software solutions for new x86 microprocessors, new system core logic chipsets, new system busses, video subsystems, keyboard controllers, power management chipsets, PCMCIA PC cards, flash read-only memory ("ROM") chips, and other emerging PC technologies.
The introduction of new hardware architectures, microprocessors, peripheral equipment and operating systems within the PC industry have increased the complexity, time, and cost to develop system-level, firmware-based, configuration software products. The Company believes that OEM customers license the Company's system software products, rather than develop these products internally, in order to release products to market faster, diminish product development risks, reduce product development and support costs, and differentiate their system offerings with advanced features. A number of computer manufacturers develop their own BIOS products to achieve compatibility with other computers based on the IBM PC and to integrate new technologies. Price competition and time to market pressures are causing manufacturers to re- examine in-house development and deployment of their new systems. The Company believes there is an increasing trend of OEMs to outsource system software requirements to third parties.
The demand for the Company's PC system software products depends principally on 1) PC manufacturers licensing rather than developing their own PC system software, 2) the sales success of the Company's OEM customers, 3) the emergence of new PC technologies requiring system-level software to achieve increased system functionality, user value, and performance, and (4) the functions and features offered in the Company's products compared to those of its competitors. Sales in the personal computer industry fluctuate from time to time based on numerous factors, including general economic conditions, capital spending levels, new product introductions and shortages of key components. In addition, the market for personal computers is intensely competitive, and the Company's OEM customers compete among themselves and with others.
FISCAL 1995 DEVELOPMENTS: During fiscal 1995, Phoenix focused on expanding
the capabilities of its PC firmware through enhancements to its core PhoenixBIOS
4.0 product, playing a significant role in new PC industry initiatives with
Intel, Microsoft and IBM, developing and delivering Plug and Play firmware,
enhancing its PCMCIA software and creating the PhoenixPICO product line for the
emerging embedded "Special Purpose PC" system market.
PHOENIXBIOS 4.0: Phoenix introduced PhoenixBIOS 4.0 as its core desktop systems firmware product at Fall Comdex `93. Since then, it has become the Company's most successful system firmware product. The Company believes the success of this product is attributable to its reliability and advanced features, including its fourth generation architecture and Plug and Play support. PhoenixBIOS 4.0 is designed to help PC manufacturers gain important market advantages, by decreasing the time it takes those manufacturers to get their products to market through increased reusability of firmware and compatibility with evolving PC standards.
In fiscal 1995, Phoenix announced the PhoenixBIOS `95 extensions to PhoenixBIOS 4.0. PhoenixBIOS `95 is firmware that further improves the performance of desktop PCs and makes them easier for consumers to use. Advances
NOTEBIOS 4.0 AND ADVANCED SYSTEMS SOFTWARE AND APPLICATIONS FOR PORTABLE SYSTEMS: Phoenix offers its NoteBIOS system software for use with portable or notebook computers. The product's capabilities include advanced power management, SMI support, Save to Disk, Plug and Play, Portable Pentium CPU support, and Smart Battery. The Company believes that a majority of notebook PCs shipped worldwide in fiscal 1995 with commercial BIOS were delivered with Phoenix's NoteBIOS. Phoenix worked with PC manufacturers to bring some of the first Microsoft Windows 95-based and Intel Pentium-based notebook PCs to market.
During fiscal 1995, the Copmpany announced and began shipping NoteBIOS 4.0, Power Panel and Smart Battery Manager products. NoteBIOS 4.0 provides a highly modular, robust structure for the NoteBIOS product line based on the fourth generation of PhoenixBIOS core software. Power Panel is a Windows-based application that provides portable PC users with an advanced, intuitive, easy- to-use way to manage power use and battery life. Smart Battery Manager incorporates technology developed by Phoenix, DuraCell, Intel and Microsoft to extend battery life in portable PCs.
PHOENIXCARD MANAGER PCMCIA SOFTWARE: Phoenix introduced PhoenixCard Manager version 4.0 at Fall Comdex `95 in November 1995. PhoenixCard Manager is a Phoenix's latest software for PCMCIA cards with an easy-to-use Windows-based user interface, automatic de-install features to remove old software, support for multifunciton cards, and event logging capabilities to reduce PCMCIA technical support costs. A number of major PC suppliers -- including IBM, Canon, Olivetti, Texas Instruments, and Toshiba -- licensed and shipped Phoenix's PC Card PCMCIA software.
PHOENIXPICO: The PhoenixPICO product line provides system enabling and system enhancing software for Industrial, Hand-held, and Home Appliances in the emerging new Special Purpose PC market. Examples of these appliances are PDAs, Smart Phones, Point-of-Sale Terminals, Factory Automation Devices, Car Navigation Units, or Smart Home Entertainment (TV, stereo) units. Key alliances in fiscal 1995 include Intel, AMD, Geoworks (hand held operating systems), and Microsoft. PhoenixPICO BIOS provides leading edge PC software technology for these appliances, while PhoenixPICO Embedded Extensions provide unique and innovative software technologies to enhance these appliances. PhoenixPICO OAK (OEM Adaptation Kit) was launched in fiscal 1995, providing Special Purpose PC OEMs a self-contained kit that provides key system enabling and system enhancing software, plus educational tools on x86 architecture design, in a single package.
LEADERSHIP IN MAJOR INDUSTRY INITIATIVES: Phoenix has entered into a number of major initiatives with industry leaders and standards-setting organizations to develop next generation, firmware-level software products. These initiatives include: (1) developing the Plug and Play system enumerator which was licensed to Microsoft Corporation ("Microsoft") for its Windows 95 operating system; (2) developing specifications and firmware for the new SmartBattery program with Duracell and Intel; (3) developing a CD Boot specification with IBM to allow direct PC system booting from CD-ROMs; and (4) developing the "CardBus" (PCMCIA 3.0) specifications as an executive member of the Personal Computer Memory Card International Association (PCMCIA).
Phoenix's relationships with Intel, Microsoft, IBM, Compaq, and other industry leaders give the Company early access to new technology requirements, which the Company believes facilitates the development of its products. By building upon its core technology base, the Company is able to tailor its system software products to conform to the specific requirements of its OEM customers, allowing its customers to integrate new technologies and introduce their products to market more effectively.
WORLDWIDE DEPLOYMENT SERVICES AND SUPPORT: To support its worldwide customer base, Phoenix employs over 200 BIOS engineers and has offices in Japan, Taiwan, England, California and Massachusetts. The Company's support services are provided by means of telephone and on-site service.
COMPETITION: In marketing its PC system software products, the Company encounters competition from a number of domestic and foreign companies. These competitors range from small independent engineering businesses to in-house development organizations of companies with financial and engineering resources much larger than Phoenix. In addition, American Megatrends Inc. is Phoenix's primary competitor in the motherboard market and Systemsoft is the primary competitor of the Company in the PCMCIA and embedded PC system markets. The bases for competition for the PC system-level software business's products are primarily product performance and availability, engineering experience and expertise, product support, and price. Phoenix believes it competes favorably on these bases.
PC APPLICATION SOFTWARE: In the PC application software product area, the Company develops, acquires and markets essential application software designed to bring new functionality to the consumer and small office/home office (SOHO) PC environment. The application software products are marketed through the OEM channel, which focuses on products that will be bundled by PC and peripheral card manufacturers addressing the consumer and SOHO markets.
The OEM Consumer Software Group was established during fiscal 1994 to assist OEMs in integrating consumer applications with their products for sale to end-users. OEM Consumer Software Products are designed to let the OEM to differentiate its particular implementation of these products. Phoenix makes available to OEMs various marketing, development, deployment and customization services to enable OEM-specific characteristics or functionality and to otherwise accomplish OEM brand identification through differentiation. For example, Compaq contracted with Phoenix develop and deploy certain core OEM Consumer Software products for Compaq's MediaPilot user interface for several applications including telephone answering machine, fax and multimedia software.
The OEM Consumer Software Group product line is focused on three primary product offerings:
PHOENIX MUSE is a Windows 95 user interface development product that can be used as an alternative user interface to Windows 95 or to develop other applications, such as a software-based "welcome center". The product is designed to provide end users with the ability to instantly use their PCs and enhance the value of Windows 95 to novice users. Phoenix MUSE was also designed to give OEMs an economic multimedia based graphical interface which allows for branding their products through graphical and visual differentiation.
PHOENIX TELEPHONY SUITE is a product which integrates fax, voicemail, speakerphone and address book capabilities in software for Windows 3.1 and Windows 95-based PC products. This product is designed to provide users with instant use of the communications capabilities of their PCs. This product is presently bundled with the IBM Aptiva and Acer Aspire systems.
REVENUE: Revenue from the OEM Consumer Software Group's products represented 9% of Phoenix's total fiscal 1995 revenues from continuing operations, compared to 6% for fiscal 1994. In fiscal year 1993, revenue from these products was not material as a percentage of the Company's total revenue. During fiscal 1995, the Company discontinued the retail channel for application products, revenue from which was not material during any of the last three fiscal years.
SALE OF PUBLISHING AND PRINTER SOFTWARE DIVISIONS:
During fiscal 1994, Phoenix disposed of majority interests in its Publishing and Printer Software Divisions as part of its strategy to refocus on essential enabling software for OEMs.
PUBLISHING DIVISION: Throughout fiscal 1994, the Company operated its Publishing Division (formerly named the Packaged Products Division), which provided technical publishing software, documentation and services for OEM licensees of Microsoft and IBM operating systems and other software. The division supplied the documentation and disk duplication services required for bundling software with OEM system offerings.
In September 1994, the Company sold 80% of its Publishing Division to Softbank Corporation of Japan ("Softbank") for total cash consideration of $30,000,000. Also in September 1994, Softbank and the Company established a new entity, Phoenix Publishing Systems, Inc. ("PPSI"), and each contributed their respective interests in the Publishing Division to PPSI in exchange for 80% and 20%, respectively, of the equity of PPSI. PPSI assumed substantially all of the liabilities of the Division's business. The Company has certain rights to designate nominees to PPSI's board of directors and to require PPSI
By maintaining an ownership interest in the entity which acquired the Division, Phoenix can participate in any future growth of PPSI and continue to leverage the technologies now owned by PPSI to support the Company's customers, while freeing up new resources for advancing the Company's PC firmware and end user application software products.
REVENUE: Phoenix's revenue attributable to the Company's Publishing Division accounted for 53% and 55% of the Company's total revenue from continuing operations in fiscal 1994 and 1993, respectively.
PRINTER SOFTWARE DIVISION Throughout 1994, the Company operated its Printer Software Division (formerly named the Peripherals Division) which designed, developed and supplied printer emulation software, page description languages, and controller hardware designs for the printer industry. In the printer market, where multiple standards exist, OEMs and software developers have been required to adapt their products to accommodate diverse page description languages, different font libraries and other printer standards. The business developed the PhoenixPage imaging software architecture to enable OEMs to design and manufacture printers that can support multiple page description languages (such as the PostScript language and the HP-PCL language), printer emulations, and font technologies. More than 40 printer manufactures have used PhoenixPage in their printer product lines.
In November 1994, the Company sold all the assets of its Printer Software Division. The Company received a promissory note in the principal amount of $4,849,000, collateralized by the assets sold and payable in twenty quarterly installments commencing January 15, 1997. Interest at 8% per year is payable quarterly. The Company also received a minority equity interest in the purchaser and the right to a future contingent payment based on operating performance. In fiscal 1995, the Company provided an additional loan of $350,000 to the purchaser. Subsequently, the Company participated in a stock offering to new and existing investors by exchanging $1,900,000 of principal under these two notes for additional shares. The Company has the right to convert up to $340,000 of additional principal into shares of stock on or before June 30, 1998. Because of the risk of collection, the Company will recognize proceeds from the note and contingent payment as cash payments are received. The current estimated fair market value of the shares, which has a book value of zero, is not significant.
As was the case in the sale of the Publishing Division business, the maintenance of a minority ownership position in Xionics will let Phoenix participate in that business's future growth, while making new resources available for its remaining businesses.
REVENUE: The consolidated financial statements were restated to reflect the Printer Software Division as a discontinued operation. Revenues from discontinued operations were $9,439,000 and $9,947,000 for fiscal 1994 and 1993, respectively. The net liabilities of discontinued operations of $724,000 and $5,203,000 at September 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively, consist primarily of accrued costs to be incurred in conneciton with the sale of the division, offset by accounts receivable. Payments were $4,479,000 and $223,000 in fiscal 1995 and 1994, respectively.
EMPLOYEES
As of September 30, 1995, the Company employed 362 persons worldwide, of whom 231 are in research and development, 90 are in sales and marketing, and 41 are in finance and administration.
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY AND OTHER PROPRIETARY RIGHTS
The Company relies primarily on trade secret, trademark and copyright laws and contractual agreements to protect its proprietary rights. The Company protects the source code of its products as trade secrets and as unpublished copyrighted works. The Company from time to time makes the source code for its products available to its customers for limited uses. The Company licenses its software products to its customers. Wide dissemination of the Company's software products makes protection of the Company's proprietary rights difficult, particularly outside the United States. Although it is possible for competitors or users to make illegal copies of the Company's products, the Company believes the rate of technology change and the continual addition of new product features lessen the impact of illegal copying. At September 30, 1995, the Company had been issued one patent and had four patent applications pending.
Although the Company believes that its products do not infringe on any copyright or other proprietary rights of third parties, there are currently significant legal uncertainties relating to the application of copyright and patent law in the field of software. The Company has no assurance that third parties will not obtain, or do not have, patents covering features of the Company's products, in which event the Company or its customers might be required to obtain licenses to use such features. If a patent holder refuses to grant a license on reasonable terms or at all, the Company may be required to alter certain products or stop marketing them. In recent years, there has been a marked increase in the number of patents applied for and issued with respect to software products.
The Company's principal offices are located in a 29,108 square foot building in Santa Clara, California which the Company leases pursuant to a lease expiring in December 1999. The Company has an option to extend the term of the lease for an additional 5 years. Minimum annual lease payments for the Santa Clara facility are approximately $237,521 plus certain additional costs.
The Company also leases smaller office facilities in other locations including: Irvine, California; San Jose, California; Norwood, Massachusetts, Houston, Texas; Taipei, Taiwan; Tokyo, Japan; Guildford, England; and Archamps, France.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto, which are included elsewhere in this report.
PRO FORMA RESULTS FOR FISCAL 1994 In fiscal 1994, the Company sold its Publishing and Printer Software Divisions. The Publishing Division accounted for 53% of fiscal 1994 revenue. The Printer Software Division was classified as discontinued operations. The pro forma results for fiscal 1994 exclude the charge for other operating expenses, reflect the elimination of the revenue and direct expenses for the Publishing Division, treat the sale of the Publishing Division as if it had occurred at the beginning of fiscal 1994, and exclude the loss from discontinued operations.
RESULTS OF CONTINUING OPERATIONS
REVENUE The Company's revenue is comprised of licenses of PC system-level and application software and engineering services to manufacturers and integrators of personal computers ("PC OEMs") and other special purpose computers or terminals using Intel X86 microprocessors. Prior to the sale of its Publishing and Printer Software Divisions, the Company sold technical publishing software and documentation to PC OEMs and system software for laser printers. In fiscal 1993 the Company acquired Eclipse Systems, Inc. ("Eclipse"), which marketed its software products through the retail channel. Eclipse was acquired for its technology, and the retail operations were discontinued in fiscal 1995.
Revenue decreased 42% to $49,941,000 in fiscal 1995 from $86,173,000 in fiscal 1994 and increased 30% in fiscal 1994 from $66,313,000 in fiscal 1993. Revenue from the Company's core PC software products increased 24% and 34% in fiscal 1995 over fiscal 1994 and in fiscal 1994 over fiscal 1993, respectively. These increases were primarily due to adding new customers and increased revenues from existing customers. Prices have been relatively stable during the periods reported.
On a pro forma basis, gross margin as a percentage of revenue for the PC software business was 81% and 77% for fiscal 1995 and 1994, respectively. The increase in fiscal 1995 gross margin resulted from lower revenue from the retail channel, which has a lower gross margin caused in part by higher packaging and shipping costs. The retail business was discontinued in fiscal 1995.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT Research and development costs ("R&D"), before the capitalization of internally developed software, were 25% of total revenue in fiscal 1995 and 11% in fiscal 1994 and fiscal 1993. R&D as defined above grew to $12,374,000 in fiscal 1995, a 35% increase from $9,133,000 in fiscal 1994. Fiscal 1994 costs increased 30% from $7,045,000 in fiscal 1993. The growth in R&D in fiscal 1995 and fiscal 1994 is primarily the result of increased investment, primarily additional employees, in the development of system-level software.
The Company capitalized approximately $1,336,000, $2,246,000 and $961,000 of internally developed software costs in fiscal 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. The higher capitalization of internally developed software in fiscal 1994 versus fiscal 1995 and 1993 is primarily due to the development of several next generation system-level software and application software products designed to make it easier for OEMs to deploy new models of PCs and to make those PCs easier to use. The Company believes that continued investment in new and evolving technologies is essential to meet rapidly changing industry requirements.
SALES AND MARKETING EXPENSES Costs related to sales and marketing decreased 14% in fiscal 1995 to $14,355,000 from $16,585,000 in fiscal 1994. Fiscal 1994 expenses increased 17% from $14,232,000 in fiscal 1993. The decrease in fiscal 1995 resulted from the sale of the Publishing Division. The growth in fiscal 1994 over fiscal 1993 is primarily attributable to increased advertising costs related to retail distribution of PC application software products. The growth is also the result of higher commission expense associated with higher revenue.
The pro forma increase in fiscal 1995 is primarily due to additional sales and marketing personnel, increased commission expense on higher revenue volume, and increased promotion and trade show activity, particularly outside the United States.
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES General and administrative expenses ("G&A") decreased 21% to $6,696,000 in fiscal 1995 from $8,460,000 in fiscal 1994. Fiscal 1994 expenses increased 10% over 1993. The decrease in fiscal 1995 was primarily due to the sale of the Publishing Division, offset partially by increases in the cost of salaries and fringe benefits. The increase in fiscal 1994 over 1993 is primarily attributable to increased provisions for bad debts and increased management consulting expenses relating to the Company's expansion into the PC application software business. As a percent of revenue, G&A decreased to 13% in fiscal 1995 from 16% in the pro forma results for fiscal 1994. Actual G&A was 10% of fiscal 1994 revenue, as compared to the 12% rate for fiscal 1993. The reductions were due to the employment of fewer people and less use of outside services, resulting from improved operating efficiency.
OTHER OPERATING EXPENSES Other operating expenses in fiscal 1994 consist of a write-off of $6,777,000 of prepaid royalties and provision of $2,318,000 for the planned relocation of the Company's administrative and support functions, which occurred in fiscal 1995. Other operating expenses in fiscal 1993 consist of acquisition related charges.
INCOME TAXES The Company recorded an income tax provision of $1,483,000 in fiscal 1995 as compared to $6,420,000 in fiscal 1994 and $2,376,000 in fiscal 1993. The provision for fiscal 1995 includes an income tax benefit in the fourth quarter of $1,300,000 resulting from a decision to reduce the Company's valuation allowance related to its deferred tax assets in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" Statement No. 109 requires recognition of deferred tax assets when the probability of recovery is more likely than not. During fiscal 1995, the Company achieved a consistent level of pretax profits, thus improving the predictability of continued achievement of this level of profitability. This also allowed the Company to deduct a significant portion of the accruals provided in fiscal 1994 for restructuring and relocation.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION The ratio of current assets to current liabilities increased 4.1-to-1 in fiscal 1995 from 2.2-to-1 in fiscal 1994, primarily as a result of reducing current liabilities by one-half in fiscal 1995. The cash used for these payments was generated primarily from operations. The Company also improved its days of sales outstanding in accounts receivable to 82 days as of September 30, 1995 from 108 days at the end of fiscal 1994 and received payment on the amount due from a related party. The reduction in inventory resulted primarily from the discontinuance of the Company's retail software business.
The increases in other current assets and other assets are both due primarily to the reduction in the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets.
The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities" in fiscal 1995. It did not have a material impact on the Company's financial condition or operating results.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The Company's cash and short-term investments decreased by 3% to $32,944,000 at September 30, 1995 from $33,889,000 at September 30, 1994. Cash provided by operating activities was $3,229,000 in fiscal 1995. Investing activities used $6,047,000 for short-term investments, purchases of property and equipment, and additions to computer software costs. Financing activities used $904,000 for repurchases of the Company's common stock and payment of notes payable, which was partially offset by proceeds from stock issuances under employee stock plans.
The Company expects funding requirements for fiscal 1996 and the foreseeable future to be met from its current cash position and future operations. In fiscal 1994, the Company initiated a plan to repurchase up to 1,000,000 shares of its common stock for use in the Company's stock option plans and for general corporate purposes. During fiscal 1995, the Company repurchased 369,300 shares and retired 399,313 shares.
The Company has a $10,000,000 unsecured line of credit agreement with a domestic commercial bank. There were no borrowings under the line as of September 30, 1995.

NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF OPERATIONS
Phoenix Technologies Ltd. designs, develops and markets system-level and application software products. Prior to the divestitures of the Publishing and Printer Software Divisions in fiscal 1994, the Company also sold technical publishing software and documentation, and printer software.
NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the financial statements. Certain amounts in the prior years' financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the fiscal 1995 presentation.
REVENUE RECOGNITION. The Company's revenue is derived from license and engineering fees and packaged software sales, primarily to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). License fees for system software are recorded as revenue when the products have been delivered to the OEMs. The amount of revenue recognized under minimum license fee arrangements with extended payment terms is restricted to payments due within 90 days. Certain license agreements for new and customized products provide for customer acceptance periods that typically run for 30 days. Revenues on such products are recognized when accepted by the OEMs as determined by the Company.
Additional per copy license fees are recognized when the OEM ships products incorporating the Company's software in excess of the quantity covered by the initial license fee. Customers entering into license agreements with the Company for customized products are typically charged engineering fees that vary according to the amount of engineering work performed. Engineering fees are recognized as revenue when contractual milestones are met or on a time and materials basis. Revenue from sales of packaged products are recognized and the related royalty expenses are accrued when the products are shipped. Maintenance revenues are recognizable ratably over the contract period. Revenue generated by independent representatives in certain international markets is recorded net of the related commissions.
Allowances for uncollectable amounts, returns and credits are recorded in the same period as the related revenues. At the time the Company recognizes revenues from the license or sale of software products, no significant vendor obligations remain, and the costs of insignificant support obligations are accrued.
INVESTMENTS. Investments in certain highly liquid securities with maturities of less than three months are considered cash equivalents. Investment securities consist of U.S. Treasury and agency notes and municipal bonds with original maturities generally ranging from three months to one year. The Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities," on December 31, 1994. The adoption of Statement No. 115 had no effect on the Company's financial position and results of operations. The Company classifies its investment securities as held-to-maturity because, as provided in Statement No. 115, it has the ability and intent to hold them until maturity. Such securities are reported at amortized cost.
CREDIT RISK. Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of temporary cash investments and trade receivables. The Company places its temporary cash investments with high credit qualified financial institutions. The Company does not require collateral for trade receivables, but related credit risk is limited due to the Company's large number of customers and their geographic dispersion. As of September 30, 1995 and 1994, no customer accounted for 10% or more of accounts receivable.
INVENTORIES. Inventories, primarily finished goods, are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market.
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT. Property and equipment are carried at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives, typically three to five years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of their useful lives or the remaining term of the related lease. When assets are sold or retired, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in income.
COMPUTER SOFTWARE COSTS. Computer software costs consist of internally developed and purchased or licensed software. Development costs incurred in the research and development of new software products and enhancements to existing products are expensed in the period incurred unless they qualify for capitalization. Capitalized computer software costs are amortized over the economic life of the product, generally three years, using the straight-line method or a ratio of current revenues to total anticipated revenues.
INCOME TAXES. Income taxes are accounted for in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." Under the asset and liability method of Statement No. 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities, and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under Statement No. 109, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period of enactment. This accounting method was adopted in fiscal 1994, and it is similar to the Company's prior method, Statement No. 96, except that under the prior method, no recognition is given to future events other than the recovery of assets and settlements of liabilities.
NET INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE. Net income per common and common equivalent share is computed using the weighted average number of common and dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding during each year. Dilutive common equivalent shares consist of stock options and are calculated using the treasury stock method. In loss periods, common stock equivalents are not used in the calculation. Fully diluted earnings per share are not materially different from reported primary earnings per share.
STOCK OPTIONS. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" was issued in October 1995 and applies to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995. While the Company is studying the impact of the pronouncement, it continues to account for employee stock options under APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees."

NOTE 5. COMPUTER SOFTWARE COSTS
Computer software costs in the amounts of $1,674,000, $2,933,000 and $9,771,000 were capitalized during the years ended September 30, 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. These costs consist of $1,336,000, $2,478,000 and $2,566,000 of internally developed software and $338,000, $455,000 and $7,205,000 of purchased or licensed software costs for fiscal 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. Included in the above amounts are $232,000 and $1,605,000 of internally developed software costs and $50,000 and $60,000 of purchased or licensed software costs related to the discontinued printer software operation for fiscal 1994 and 1993, respectively.
Amortization charged to costs of revenue in fiscal 1995, 1994 and 1993 totaled $1,244,000, $825,000 and $1,225,000, respectively. Amortization charged to discontinued operations for 1994 and 1993 was $1,604,000 and $1,321,000, respectively. In addition, the Company wrote off computer software costs of $6,777,000 in fiscal 1994 and $1,482,000 in fiscal 1993 in connection with a terminated distribution agreement and reclassified net computer software costs of $1,584,000 related to the discontinued printer software operation. Accumulated amortization at September 30, 1995 and 1994 totaled $1,128,000 and $4,733,000, respectively.
NOTE 6. UNSECURED LINE OF CREDIT
At September 30, 1995, there were no outstanding borrowings on the Company's $10,000,000 unsecured bank line of credit. Borrowings on the line bear interest at the bank's prime rate of interest plus 1%. The agreement contains various covenants which require the Company to operate at a profit and meet certain financial ratios, and it restricts the payment of cash dividends. A commitment fee of $25,000 was paid in fiscal 1995 and 1994.
The Company made interest payments of $69,000, $79,000 and $35,000 for fiscal 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
NOTE 7. INCOME TAXES
The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" in fiscal 1994, and there was no cumulative effect adjustment recorded as a result of the change. The components of the provision for income taxes from continuing operations are as follows:

The loss from discontinued operations provided a current federal and state income tax benefit which was utilized against the current tax provision from continuing operations. The benefit provided in fiscal 1994 and 1993 was $1,199,000 and $644,000, respectively. The Company made income tax payments of $1,125,000, $181,000 and $188,000 in fiscal 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.

Due to the uncertainty surrounding the timing of the realization of the benefit of its favorable tax attributes in future tax returns, the Company has placed a valuation allowance against otherwise recognizable net deferred tax assets.
Prior to fiscal 1994, the Company took foreign tax withholding as a deduction because of limitations on taking them as a credit. In previous years, the Company has shown a deferred tax asset equal to the potential additional benefit of amending previous returns to use the withholding amounts as credits, creating a tax credit carryforward and offsetting it against current taxes. The potential credits are beginning to expire, and the Company has significant other unused tax credits, and, therefore, reduced deferred tax assets and the valuation allowance by the amount thereof.
At September 30, 1995, the Company had available for federal income tax purposes tax credit carryforwards, some of which expire on various dates. The foreign tax credits expire in 1999 and 2000, the R&D tax credits expire in the years 2001 through 2010, and the net operating loss carryforward expires in 2010.
NOTE 8. COMMITMENTS
The Company leases office facilities under operating leases. Total rent expense was $1,673,000, $2,672,000 and $2,149,000 in fiscal 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.

NOTE 9. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
PREFERRED STOCK. As of September 30, 1995 and 1994, no preferred stock was issued and outstanding.
SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS PLAN. The Company has a stockholder rights plan which
provides existing stockholders with the right to purchase one one-hundredth
(0.01) preferred share for each share of common stock held in the event of
certain changes in the Company's ownership. These rights may serve as a
deterrent to certain abusive takeover tactics which are not in the best
interests of stockholders.
STOCK OPTION PLANS. Under the 1994 Equity Incentive Plan (the "1994 Plan"), as amended and approved by stockholders at the February 7, 1995 annual meeting, 1,000,000 shares were reserved for issuance. In September 1995, the Board of Directors further amended the 1994 Plan to increase the share reserve by an additional 500,000 shares; shareholder approval of such increase will be sought at the 1996 annual meeting of shareholders. Except to the extent that options remain outstanding under prior plans, the 1994 Plan replaced all prior option plans and all shares which were or become available for grant under any prior option plan are added to the 1994 Plan. The 1994 Plan provides for the grant of nonqualified and incentive stock options, as well as restricted stock and stock bonus awards, to employees, officers, consultants and independent contractors; nonemployee members of the Board of Directors are eligible for grants of nonqualified stock options only. Incentive stock options may not be granted at a price less than 100% (110% in certain cases) of the fair market value of the shares on the date of grant. Nonqualified options may not be granted at a price less than 85% of the fair market value of the shares on the date of grant. To date all grants have been made at fair market value or greater. Options vest over a period determined by the Board of Directors, generally four years, and have a term not exceeding 10 years.
Activity in the Company's stock option plans was as follows:

NOTE 10. ACQUISITIONS AND INVESTMENTS
On June 30, 1994, the Company purchased certain assets of two related United Kingdom companies. The acquisition was recorded using the purchase method of accounting; accordingly, the purchase price, which was insignificant, was allocated to the assets based on their estimated fair market values at the date of acquisition.
In fiscal 1993, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets, and assumed certain liabilities, of its Japanese distributor. Also in fiscal 1993, the Company acquired substantially all the assets and assumed certain liabilities of a company that supplied fax/modem software through the retail and direct channels. Both acquisitions were recorded using the purchase method of accounting. Goodwill associated with the acquisitions was approximately $1,558,000 and is being amortized on a straight-line basis over seven years. Amortization expense was $236,000, $226,000 and $56,000 in fiscal 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. In fiscal 1993, $1,482,000 of capitalized software costs made redundant by these acquisitions was written off.
The operating results of these acquisitions have been included in the consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition and are not material in relation to the Company's consolidated financial statements. Pro forma statements of operations prior to the acquisition dates would not differ significantly from reported results.
NOTE 11. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS AND DIVESTITURES
PRINTER SOFTWARE DIVISION. In November 1994, the Company sold all the assets of its Printer Software Division. The Company received a promissory note in the principal amount of $4,849,000, collateralized by the assets sold and payable in twenty quarterly installments commencing January 15, 1997. Interest at 8% per year is payable quarterly. The Company also received a minority equity interest in the purchaser and the right to a future contingent payment based on operating performance. In fiscal 1995, the Company provided an additional loan of $350,000 to the purchaser. Subsequently, the Company participated in a stock offering to new and existing investors by exchanging $1,900,000 of principal under these two notes for additional shares. The Company has the right to convert up to $340,000 of additional principal into shares of stock on or before June 30, 1998. Because of the risk of collection, the Company will recognize proceeds from the note and contingent payment as cash payments are received. The current estimated fair market value of the shares, which has a book value of zero, is not significant.
The consolidated financial statements were restated to reflect the Printer Software Division as a discontinued operation. Revenues from discontinued operations were $9,439,000 and $9,947,000 for fiscal 1994 and 1993, respectively. The net liabilities of discontinued operations of $724,000 and $5,203,000 at September 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively, consist primarily of accrued costs to be incurred in connection with the sale of the division, offset by accounts receivable. Payments were $4,479,000 and $223,000 in fiscal 1995 and 1994, respectively.
PUBLISHING DIVISION. In fiscal 1994, the Company also sold 80% of its Publishing Division for cash payments of $30,000,000 to Softbank Corporation of Japan ("Softbank"). The Company recognized a pre-tax gain of $23,538,000 on the transaction. Softbank and the Company each contributed their respective interests in the net assets of the Publishing Division to Phoenix Publishing Systems, Inc. ("PPSI"); and the Company received 20% of the capital stock of PPSI. There is a put and call on the 20% interest, exercisable from September 30, 1997 to September 30, 1999, for the greater of $7,500,000 or an amount based on PPSI's operating performance. The Company accounts for its interest in PPSI under the equity method of accounting. The resulting related party receivable of $3,768,000 at September 30, 1994 was collected from PPSI in fiscal 1995.
The following unaudited pro forma information for fiscal 1994 reflects how the disposition might have affected the statement of operations if the divestiture had taken place as of the beginning of the fiscal year.

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Phoenix Technologies Ltd.:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Phoenix Technologies Ltd. as of September 30, 1995 and 1994, and the related consolidated statements of operations, cash flows, and stockholders' equity for each of the three fiscal years in the period ended September 30, 1995. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Phoenix Technologies Ltd. as of September 30, 1995 and 1994, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three fiscal years in the period ending September 30, 1995, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

1. PURPOSE
The purpose of the Plan is to provide incentives to attract, retain and
motivate eligible persons whose present and potential contributions are
important to the success of the Company and its Parent, Subsidiaries and
Affiliates, by offering them an opportunity to participate in the Company's
future performance through awards of Options, Restricted Stock and Stock
Bonuses. Capitalized terms not defined in the text are defined in
Section 24.
2. SHARES SUBJECT TO THE PLAN
2.1 NUMBER OF SHARES AVAILABLE. Subject to Sections 2.2 and 18, the total
number of Shares reserved and available for grant and issuance pursuant to
the Plan shall be 1,500,000 shares, plus the total number of shares
authorized for issuance, but not issued or subject to outstanding options,
under the Company's existing option plans as of November 30, 1994;
provided, however, that the maximum number of Shares that may be issued
under the Plan to members of the Board of Directors of the Company who are
not also employees of the Company is 200,000 Shares. Subject to Sections
2.2 and 18, Shares shall again be available for grant and issuance in
connection with future Awards under the Plan that: (a) are subject to
issuance upon exercise of an Option but cease to be subject to such Option
for any reason other than exercise of such Option, (b) are subject to an
Award that otherwise terminates without such Shares being issued and for
which the participant did not receive any benefits of ownership (other than
voting rights), or (c) become available for issuance under any other equity
plans of the Company pursuant to the terms of such plans.
2.2 ADJUSTMENT OF SHARES. In the event that the number of outstanding shares of the Company's Common Stock is changed by a stock dividend, recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, subdivision, combination, reclassification or similar change in the capital structure of the Company without consideration, then (a) the number of Shares reserved for issuance under the Plan, (b) the Exercise Prices of and number of Shares subject to outstanding Options, and (c) the number of Shares subject to other outstanding Awards shall be proportionately adjusted, subject to any required action by the Board or the stockholders of the Company and compliance with applicable securities laws; provided, however, that fractions of a Share shall not be issued but shall either be paid in cash at Fair Market Value or shall be rounded up to the nearest Share, as determined by the Committee; and provided, further, that the Exercise Price of any Option may not be decreased to below the par value of the Shares.
3.1 ELIGIBILITY OF EMPLOYEES, CONSULTANTS AND INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS. ISOs (as defined in Section 5 below) may be granted only to employees (including officers and directors who are also employees) of the Company or of a Parent or Subsidiary of the Company. All other Awards may be granted to employees, officers, consultants, independent contractors and advisers of the Company or any Parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company; provided, however, that such consultants, contractors and advisers render bona fide services not in connection with the offer and sale of securities in a capital-raising transaction. A person may be granted more than one Award under the Plan. Each person is eligible to receive up to an aggregate maximum of 400,000 Shares over the term of the Plan.
3.2 ELIGIBILITY OF DIRECTORS. Each director who is not an employee shall be
granted an Option to purchase 10,000 Shares upon such director's initial
election to the Board of Directors. Upon the anniversary of such initial
election, each director shall receive an Option to purchase an additional
7,000 Shares of stock. Options granted to directors who are not employees
shall be NQSOs. Notwithstanding the foregoing, directors who are not
employees are eligible to receive only Options under the Plan. This
Section 3.2 and Sections 5.3 and 5.4 (concerning director options) may not
be amended more than once every six months, other than to conform with
changes required by law.
4. ADMINISTRATION
4.1 COMMITTEE AUTHORITY. The Plan shall be administered by the Committee or the Board acting as the Committee. Subject to the general purposes, terms and conditions of the Plan, and to the direction of the Board, the Committee shall have full power to implement and carry out the Plan. Except as otherwise provided pursuant to Sections 3.2 or 5, the Committee shall have the authority to:
(a) construe and interpret the Plan, any Award Agreement and any other
agreement or document executed pursuant to the Plan;
(b) prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to the
Plan;
(c) select persons to receive Awards;
(d) determine the form and terms of Awards;
(e) determine the number of Shares or other consideration subject to
Awards;
(f) determine whether Awards will be granted singly, in combination or in
tandem with, in replacement of, or as alternatives to, other Awards
under the Plan or any other incentive or compensation plan of the
Company or any Parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company;
(g) grant waivers of Plan or Award conditions;
(h) determine the vesting, exercisability and payment of Awards;
(i) correct any defect, supply any omission, or reconcile any
inconsistency in the Plan, any Award or any Award Agreement;
4.2 COMMITTEE DISCRETION. Any determination made by the Committee with respect to any Award shall be made in its sole discretion at the time of grant of the Award or, unless in contravention of any express term of the Plan or Award, at any later time, and such determination shall be final and binding on the Company and all persons having an interest in any Award under the Plan. The Committee may delegate to one or more officers of the Company the authority to grant Awards under the Plan to Participants who are not Insiders of the Company.
4.3 EXCHANGE ACT REQUIREMENTS. If two or more members of the Board are Outside Directors, the Committee shall be comprised of at least two members of the Board, all of whom are Outside Directors and Disinterested Persons. The Company will take appropriate steps to comply with the disinterested director requirements of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, including but not limited to, the appointment by the Board of a Committee consisting of not less than two persons (who are members of the Board), each of whom is a Disinterested Person. It is the intent of the Company that the Plan and Awards hereunder satisfy and be interpreted in a manner, that, in the case of Participants who are or may be Insiders, satisfies the applicable requirements of Rule 16b-3 (or its successor) of the Exchange Act. If any provision of the Plan or of any Award would otherwise conflict with the intent expressed in this Section 4.3, that provision to the extent possible shall be interpreted and deemed amended so as to avoid such conflict.
5. OPTIONS
Except as otherwise provided in this Section 5, the Committee may grant Options to eligible persons and shall determine whether such Options shall be Incentive Stock Options within the meaning of the Code ("ISOs") or Nonqualified Stock Options ("NQSOs"), the number of Shares subject to the Option, the Exercise Price of the Option, the period during which the Option may be exercised, and all other terms and conditions of the Option, subject to the following:
5.1 FORM OF OPTION GRANT. Each Option granted under the Plan shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement which shall expressly identify the Option as an ISO or NQSO ("Stock Option Agreement"), and be in such form and contain such provisions (which need not be the same for each Participant receiving an Award pursuant to Section 3.1) as the Committee shall from time to time approve, and which shall comply with and be subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan.
5.2 DATE OF GRANT. The date of grant of an Option shall be the date on which the Committee makes the determination to grant such Option, unless otherwise specified by the Committee; provided, however, that Options granted to directors who are not employees shall be granted on the date specified in Section 3.2. The Stock Option Agreement and a
5.3 EXERCISE PERIOD. Options shall be exercisable within the times or upon the events determined by the Committee as set forth in the Stock Option Agreement; provided, however, that no Option shall be exercisable after the expiration of ten (10) years from the date the Option is granted; and provided further that no ISO granted to a person who directly or by attribution owns more than ten percent (10%) of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary of the Company ("Ten Percent Stockholder") shall be exercisable after the expiration of five (5) years from the date the Option is granted; and provided further that Options held by directors who are not employees will be exercisable as follows: (i) with respect to the first Option granted, it will become exercisable on a cumulative basis as to one-quarter of the Shares subject to the Option on the first anniversary of the grant date and as to the balance of the Shares subject to the Option in 12 equal quarterly installments every three months after such first anniversary; and (ii) with respect to any Option subsequently granted, it will become exercisable on a cumulative basis as to one-sixteenth of the Shares subject to the Option, on a quarterly basis, commencing three months after the date of grant of such Option. Except as otherwise specifically set forth in the preceding sentence with respect to directors who are not employees, the Committee may provide for Options to become exercisable at any time or from time to time, periodically or otherwise, in such number or percentage as the Committee determines.
5.4 EXERCISE PRICE. The Exercise Price shall be determined by the Committee
when the Option is granted and may be not less than 85% of the Fair Market
Value of the Shares on the date of grant; provided, however, that (i) the
Exercise Price of an ISO shall be not less than 100% of the Fair Market
Value of the Shares on the date of grant and (ii) the Exercise Price of any
ISO granted to a Ten Percent Stockholder shall not be less than 110% of the
Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date of grant; and provided further,
that the Exercise Price of Options granted to directors who are not
employees shall be 100% of the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date
of grant. Payment for the Shares purchased may be made in accordance with
Section 8 of the Plan.
5.5 METHOD OF EXERCISE. Options may be exercised only by delivery to the Company of a written stock option exercise agreement (the "Exercise Agreement") in a form approved by the Committee (which need not be the same for each Participant receiving an Award pursuant to the Plan), stating the number of Shares being purchased, the restrictions imposed on the Shares, if any, and such representations and agreements regarding Participant's investment intent, access to information and other matters, if any, as may be required or desirable by the Company to comply with applicable securities laws, together with payment in full of the Exercise Price for the number of Shares being purchased.
5.6 TERMINATION. Notwithstanding the exercise periods set forth in the Stock Option Agreement, exercise of an Option shall always be subject to the following:
(b) If the Participant is terminated because of death or Disability, then Participant's Options may be exercised, only to the extent that such Options would have been exercisable by Participant on the Termination Date, and must be exercised by Participant (or Participant's legal representative or authorized assignee) no later than one hundred eighty (180) days after the Termination Date, but in any event no later than the expiration date of the Options.
5.7 LIMITATIONS ON EXERCISE. The Committee may specify a reasonable minimum number of Shares that may be purchased on any exercise of an Option, provided that such minimum number will not prevent Participant from exercising the Option for the full number of Shares for which it is then exercisable.
5.8 LIMITATIONS ON ISOS. The aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the date of grant) of Shares with respect to which ISOs are exercisable for the first time by a Participant during any calendar year (under the Plan or under any other incentive stock option plan of the Company or any Affiliate, Parent or Subsidiary of the Company) shall not exceed $100,000. If the Fair Market Value of Shares on the date of grant with respect to which ISOs are exercisable for the first time by a Participant during any calendar year exceeds $100,000, the Options for the first $100,000 worth of Shares to become exercisable in such calendar year shall be ISOs and the Options for the amount in excess of $100,000 that become exercisable in that calendar year shall be NQSOs. In the event that the Code or the regulations promulgated thereunder are amended after the Effective Date of the Plan to provide for a different limit on the Fair Market Value of Shares permitted to be subject to ISOs, such different limit shall be automatically incorporated herein and shall apply to any Options granted after the effective date of such amendment.
5.9 MODIFICATION, EXTENSION OR RENEWAL. The Committee may modify, extend or
renew outstanding Options and authorize the grant of new Options in
substitution therefor, provided that any such action may not, without the
written consent of a Participant, impair any of such Participant's rights
under any Option previously granted. Any outstanding ISO that is modified,
extended, renewed or otherwise altered shall be treated in accordance with
Section 424(h) of the Code. The Committee may reduce the Exercise Price of
outstanding Options without the consent of Participants affected by a
written notice to them; provided, however, that the Exercise Price may not
be reduced below the minimum Exercise Price that would be permitted under
Section 5.4 of the Plan for Options granted on the date the action is taken
to reduce the Exercise Price; provided, further, that the Exercise Price
shall not be reduced below the par value of the Shares.
6. RESTRICTED STOCK
A Restricted Stock Award is an offer by the Company to sell to an eligible person Shares that are subject to restrictions. The Committee shall determine to whom an offer will be made, the number of Shares the person may purchase, the price to be paid (the "Purchase Price"), the restrictions to which the Shares shall be subject, and all other terms and conditions of the Restricted Stock Award, subject to the following:
6.1 FORM OF RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD. All purchases under a Restricted Stock Award made pursuant to the Plan shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement ("Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement") that shall be in such form (which need not be the same for each Participant) as the Committee shall from time to time approve, and shall comply with and be subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan. The offer of Restricted Stock shall be accepted by the Participant's execution and delivery of the Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement and full payment for the Shares to the Company within thirty (30) days from the date the Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement is delivered to the Participant. If such Participant does not execute and deliver the Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement along with full payment for the Shares to the Company within thirty (30) days, then the offer shall terminate, unless otherwise determined by the Committee.
6.2 PURCHASE PRICE. The Purchase Price of Shares sold pursuant to a Restricted Stock Award shall be determined by the Committee and shall be at least 85% of the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date the Restricted Stock Award is granted. Payment of the Purchase Price may be made in accordance with Section 8 of the Plan.
6.3 TERMS OF RESTRICTED STOCK AWARDS. Restricted Stock Awards shall be subject to such restrictions as the Committee may impose. These restrictions may be based upon completion of a specified number of years of service with the Company or upon completion of the performance goals as set out in advance in the Participant's Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement. Restricted Stock Awards may vary from Participant to Participant and between groups of Participants. Prior to the grant of a Restricted Stock Award, the Committee shall: (a) determine the nature, length and starting date of any Performance Period for the Restricted Stock Award; (b) select from among the Performance Factors to be used to measure performance goals, if any; and (c) determine the number of Shares that may be awarded to the Participant. Prior to the payment of any Restricted Stock Award, the Committee shall determine the extent to which such Restricted Stock Award has been earned. Performance Periods may overlap and Participants may participate simultaneously with respect to Restricted Stock Awards that are subject to different Performance Periods and having different performance goals and
7. STOCK BONUSES
7.1 AWARDS OF STOCK BONUSES. A Stock Bonus is an award of Shares (which may consist of Restricted Stock) in consideration for services rendered by the Participant to the Company or any Parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company. A Stock Bonus may be awarded for past services already rendered to the Company, or any Parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company pursuant to an Award Agreement (the "Stock Bonus Agreement") that shall be in such form (which need not be the same for each Participant) as the Committee shall from time to time approve, and shall comply with and be subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan. A Stock Bonus may be awarded upon satisfaction of such performance goals as are set out in advance in each Participant's individual Award Agreement (the "Performance Stock Bonus Agreement") and shall be in such form (which need not be the same for each Participant) as the Committee shall from time to time approve, and shall comply with and be subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan. Stock Bonuses may vary from Participant to Participant and between groups of Participants, and may be based upon the achievement of Company, Parent, Subsidiary, Affiliate and/or individual performance factors or upon such other criteria as the Committee may determine.
7.2 TERMS OF STOCK BONUSES. Stock Bonus Awards shall be subject to such restrictions as the Committee shall impose. These restrictions may be based upon completion of a specified number of years of service with the Company or upon completion of the performance goals as set out in advance in the Participant's individual Stock Bonus Agreement. Stock Bonuses may vary from Participant to Participant and between groups of Participants. Prior to the grant of a Stock Bonus, the Committee shall: (a) determine the nature, length and starting date of any Performance Period for the Stock Bonus; (b) select from among the Performance Factors to be used to measure performance goals; and (c) determine the number of Shares that may be awarded to the Participant. Prior to the payment of any Stock Bonus, the Committee shall determine the extent to which such Stock Bonus has been earned. Performance Periods may overlap and Participants may participate simultaneously with respect to Stock Bonuses that are subject to different Performance Periods and having different performance goals and other criteria; PROVIDED, HOWEVER that the maximum Stock Bonus for each Participant with respect to any Performance Period shall be thirty percent (30%) of the Shares reserved for issuance under this Plan.
7.3 FORM OF PAYMENT. The earned portion of a Stock Bonus shall be paid by the Company currently. Payment may be made in the form of cash, whole Shares, including Restricted Stock, or a combination thereof, either in a lump sum payment or in installments, all as the Committee shall determine, and to the extent applicable, shall be subject to such
7.4 TERMINATION DURING PERFORMANCE PERIOD. If a Participant is Terminated during a Performance Period for any reason, then such Participant shall be entitled to payment (whether in Shares, cash or otherwise) with respect to the Stock Bonus only to the extent earned as of the date of Termination in accordance with the Performance Stock Bonus Agreement, unless the Committee shall determine otherwise.
8. PAYMENT FOR SHARE PURCHASES
8.1 PAYMENT. Payment for Shares purchased pursuant to the Plan may be made in cash (by check) or, where expressly approved by the Committee and permitted by law by:
(a) cancellation of indebtedness of the Company to the Participant;
(b) by surrender of shares of the Company's Common Stock that either: (1)
have been owned by Participant for more than six (6) months and have
been paid for within the meaning of SEC Rule 144 (and, if such shares
were purchased from the Company by use of a promissory note, such note
has been fully paid with respect to such shares); or (2) were obtained
by Participant in the public market;
(c) by tender of a full recourse promissory note having such terms as may
be approved by the Committee bearing interest at a rate sufficient to
avoid imputation of income under Sections 483 and 1274 of the Code,
provided, however, that Participants who are not employees of the
Company shall not be entitled to purchase Shares with a promissory
note unless the note is adequately secured by collateral other than
the Shares; and provided, further, that the portion of the Purchase
Price equal to the par value of the shares must be paid in cash.
(d) by waiver of compensation due or accrued to Participant for services
rendered;
(e) by tender of property;
(f) with respect only to purchases upon exercise of an Option, and
provided that a public market for the Company's stock exists:
(1) through a "same day sale" commitment from the Participant and a
broker-dealer that is a member of the National Association of
Securities Dealers (an "NASD Dealer") whereby the Participant
irrevocably elects to exercise the Option and to sell a portion
of the Shares so purchased in order to pay the Exercise Price,
and whereby the NASD Dealer irrevocably commits upon receipt of
such Shares to forward the Exercise Price directly to the
Company; or
(2) through a "margin" commitment from the Participant and an NASD
Dealer whereby the Participant irrevocably elects to exercise the
Option and to pledge the Shares so purchased to the NASD Dealer
in a margin account as security for a loan from the NASD Dealer
in the amount of the Exercise Price, and whereby the NASD Dealer
irrevocably commits upon receipt of such Shares to forward the
Exercise Price directly to the Company; or
(g) by any combination of the foregoing.
9. WITHHOLDING TAXES
9.1 WITHHOLDING GENERALLY. Whenever Shares are to be issued in satisfaction of Awards granted under the Plan, the Company may require the Participant to remit to the Company an amount sufficient to satisfy federal, state and local withholding tax requirements prior to the delivery of any certificate or certificates for such Shares. Whenever, under the Plan, payments in satisfaction of Awards are to be made in cash, such payment shall be net of an amount sufficient to satisfy federal, state, and local withholding tax requirements.
9.2 STOCK WITHHOLDING. When, under applicable tax laws, a Participant incurs tax liability in connection with the exercise or vesting of any Award that is subject to tax withholding and the Participant is obligated to pay the Company the amount required to be withheld, the Participant (other than a Participant receiving an Award under Section 3.2) may satisfy the minimum withholding tax obligation by electing to have the Company withhold from the Shares to be issued that number of Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the minimum amount required to be withheld, determined on the date that the amount of tax to be withheld is to be determined (the "Tax Date"). All elections by a Participant to have Shares withheld for this purpose shall be made in writing in a form acceptable to the Committee and shall be subject to the following restrictions:
(a) the election must be made on or prior to the applicable Tax Date;
(b) once made, the election shall be irrevocable as to the particular
Shares as to which the election is made, except as provided in
paragraph (d) below;
(c) all elections shall be subject to the consent or disapproval of the
Committee;
(d) if the Participant is an Insider and if the Company is subject to
Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act: (1) the election may not be made
within six (6) months of the date of grant of the Award, except as
otherwise permitted by SEC Rule 16b-3(e) under the Exchange Act, and
(2) either (A) the election to use stock withholding must be
irrevocably made at least six (6) months prior to the Tax Date
(although such election may be revoked at any time at least six (6)
months prior to the Tax Date) or (B) the exercise of the Option or
election to use stock withholding must be made in the ten (10) day
period beginning on the third day following the release of the
Company's quarterly or annual summary statement of sales or earnings;
and
(e) in the event that the Tax Date is deferred until six (6) months after
the delivery of Shares under Section 83(b) of the Code, the
Participant shall receive the full number of Shares with respect to
which the exercise occurs, but such Participant shall be
unconditionally obligated to tender back to the Company the proper
number of Shares on the Tax Date.
10.1 VOTING AND DIVIDENDS. No Participant shall have any of the rights of a stockholder with respect to any Shares until the Shares are issued to the Participant. After Shares are issued to the Participant, the Participant shall be a stockholder and have all the rights of a stockholder with respect to such Shares, including the right to vote and receive all dividends or other distributions made or paid with respect to such Shares; provided, however, that if such Shares are Restricted Stock, then any new, additional or different securities that the Participant may become entitled to receive with respect to such Shares by virtue of a stock dividend, stock split or any other change in the corporate or capital structure of the Company shall be subject to the same restrictions as the Restricted Stock; provided further, that the Participant shall have no right to retain such dividends or distributions with respect to Shares that are repurchased pursuant to Section 12.
10.2 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. The Company shall provide financial statements to each Participant annually during the period such Participant has Awards outstanding; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to provide such financial statements to Participants whose services in connection with the Company assure them access to equivalent information.
11. TRANSFERABILITY
Awards granted under the Plan, and any interest therein, shall not be transferable or assignable by Participant, and may not be made subject to execution, attachment or similar process, otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution or as consistent with the specific Plan and Award Agreement provisions relating thereto. During the lifetime of the Participant an Award shall be exercisable only by the Participant, and any elections with respect to an Award, may be made only by the Participant.
12. RESTRICTIONS ON SHARES
At the discretion of the Committee, the Company may reserve to itself and/or its assignee(s) in the Award Agreement a right to repurchase a portion of or all Shares held by a Participant following such Participant's Termination at any time within ninety (90) days after the later of Participant's Termination Date and the date Participant purchases Shares under the Plan, for cash or cancellation of purchase money indebtedness, with respect to Shares that are not "Vested" (as defined in the Award Agreement), at the Participant's original Purchase Price.
13. CERTIFICATES
All certificates for Shares or other securities delivered under the Plan shall be subject to such stock transfer orders, legends and other restrictions as the Committee may deem necessary or advisable, including restrictions under any applicable federal, state or
14. ESCROW; PLEDGE OF SHARES
To enforce any restrictions on a Participant's Shares, the Committee may require the Participant to deposit all certificates representing Shares, together with stock powers or other instruments of transfer approved by the Committee, appropriately endorsed in blank, with the Company or an agent designated by the Company to hold in escrow until such restrictions have lapsed or terminated, and the Committee may cause a legend or legends referencing such restrictions to be placed on the certificates. Any Participant who is permitted to execute a promissory note as partial or full consideration for the purchase of Shares under the Plan shall be required to pledge and deposit with the Company all or part of the Shares so purchased as collateral to secure the payment of Participant's obligation to the Company under the promissory note; provided, however, that the Committee may require or accept other or additional forms of collateral to secure the payment of such obligation and, in any event, the Company shall have full recourse against the Participant under the promissory note notwithstanding any pledge of the Participant's Shares or other collateral. In connection with any pledge of the Shares, Participant shall be required to execute and deliver a written pledge agreement in such form as the Committee shall from time to time approve.

18. CHANGES IN THE COMPANY'S CAPITAL STRUCTURE
18.1 PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO ALL AWARDS. The existence of outstanding Awards shall not affect in any way the right or power of the Company or its stockholders to make or authorize any or all adjustments, recapitalizations, reorganizations or other changes in the Company's capital structure or its business, or any merger or consolidation of the Company, or any issue of bonds, debentures, preferred or prior preference stock ahead of or affecting the Common Stock or the rights thereof, or the dissolution or liquidation of the Company, or any other corporate act or proceeding, whether of a similar character or otherwise.
If the Company shall effect a subdivision or consolidation of shares or
other capital readjustment, the payment of a stock dividend, or other
increase or reduction of the number of shares of its Common Stock
outstanding, without receiving compensation therefor in money, services or
property, then (i) the number, class, and per share price of Shares subject
to outstanding Awards hereunder shall be appropriately adjusted in such a
manner as to entitle a Participant to receive upon exercise thereof (and,
if relevant, for the same aggregate cash consideration), the same total
number and class of shares as such Participant would have received had such
Participant exercised such Award in full immediately prior to such event;
and (ii) the number and class of shares with respect to which Awards may be
granted under the Plan shall be adjusted by substituting for the total
number of shares of Common Stock then reserved that number and class of
shares of stock that would have been received by the owner of an equal
number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as the result of the event
requiring the adjustment (a similar adjustment shall be made to the numbers
of Shares specified in Section 3.2 of the Plan). For purposes of this
Section 18, the "exercise" of an Award shall mean: (a) with respect to an
Option, the exercise of such Option; (b) with respect to a Restricted Stock
Award, payment for the Shares by the Participant; and (c) with respect to a
Stock Bonus Award the occurrence of events entitling the Participant to
receive Shares under such Award.
If the Company is merged into or consolidated with another corporation under circumstances where the Company is not the surviving corporation, or if the Company is liquidated, or sells or otherwise disposes of substantially all its assets to another corporation while unexercised Awards remain outstanding under the Plan, (i) subject to the provisions of clause (ii) below, after the effective date of such merger, consolidation or sale, as the case may be, each holder of an outstanding Award shall be entitled to receive upon exercise of such Award, in lieu of shares of Common Stock, shares of such stock or other securities, cash or property as the holders of shares of Common Stock received pursuant to the terms of the merger, consolidation or sale; or (ii) all outstanding Awards may be canceled by the Board as of the effective date of any such merger, consolidation, liquidation or sale provided that (x) notice of such cancellation shall be given to each holder of an Award and (y) each holder of an Award shall have the right to exercise such Award to the extent that the same is then exercisable or, if the Board shall have accelerated the time for exercise of all unexercised and unexpired Awards, in full during the 30-day period preceding the effective date of such merger, consolidation, liquidation or sale.
Except as expressly provided above, the issue by the Company of shares of stock of any class, securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, for cash, property or services, either upon direct sale or upon the exercise of rights or warrants to subscribe therefor, or upon conversion of shares or obligations of the Company convertible into such shares or other securities, shall not affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number or price of Shares then subject to outstanding Awards.
18.2 PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO DIRECTOR OPTIONS. Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary in Section 18.1 or any other section of this Plan, in the event of a Change of Control (as defined below), all Options granted to directors who are not employees pursuant to Section 3.2 and outstanding as of the date such Change in Control occurs shall become exercisable in full, whether or not exercisable in accordance with their terms. A "Change in Control" shall occur or be deemed to have occurred only if any of the following events occur: (i) any "person." as such term is used in Section 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act (other than the Company, any trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under an employee benefit plan of the Company, or any corporation
19. ADOPTION AND STOCKHOLDER APPROVAL
The Plan shall become effective on the date that it is adopted by the Board (the "Effective Date"). The Company may submit the Plan for approval by the stockholders of the Company at the next annual meeting of stockholders of the Company to obtain the advantages under NASD, IRS, Securities and Exchange Commission and other regulations that approval of stockholders may bestow; however, options granted under the Plan shall not be affected if stockholders do not approve the Plan.
20. TERM OF PLAN
The Plan will terminate ten (l0) years from the Effective Date.
The Board may at any time terminate or amend the Plan in any respect, including without limitation amendment of any form of Award Agreement or instrument to be executed pursuant to the Plan; provided, however, that the Board shall not, without the approval of the stockholders of the Company, amend the Plan in any manner that requires such stockholder approval pursuant to the Code or the regulations promulgated thereunder as such provisions apply to ISO plans or pursuant to the Exchange Act or Rule 16b-3 (or its successor), as amended, thereunder.
22. NONEXCLUSIVITY OF THE PLAN
Neither the adoption of the Plan by the Board, the submission of the Plan to the stockholders of the Company for approval, nor any provision of the Plan shall be construed as creating any limitations on the power of the Board to adopt such additional compensation arrangements as it may deem desirable, including, without limitation, the granting of stock options and bonuses otherwise than under the Plan, and such arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases.
23. GOVERNING LAW
The Plan and all agreements, documents and instruments entered into pursuant to the Plan shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, excluding that body of law pertaining to conflict of laws.

1. ESTABLISHMENT OF PLAN. Phoenix Technologies Ltd., a Delaware
corporation (the "COMPANY"), proposes to grant options for purchase of the
Company's Common Stock to eligible employees of the Company and its
Subsidiaries (as hereinafter defined) pursuant to this 1991 Employee Stock
Purchase Plan (this "PLAN"). For purposes of this Plan, "PARENT CORPORATION"
and "SUBSIDIARY" (collectively, "SUBSIDIARIES") shall have the same meanings
as "parent corporation" and "subsidiary corporation" in Sections 424(e) and
424(f), respectively, of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
"CODE"). The Company intends this Plan to qualify as an "employee stock
purchase plan" under Section 423 of the Code (including any amendments to or
replacements of such Section), and this Plan shall be so construed. Any term
not expressly defined in this Plan but defined for purposes of Section 423 of
the Code shall have the same definition herein. A total of 650,000 shares of
the Company's Common Stock is reserved for issuance under this Plan. Such
number shall be subject to adjustments effected in accordance with Section 14
of this Plan.
2. PURPOSE. The purpose of this Plan is to provide employees of the Company and Subsidiaries designated by the Board of Directors of the Company (the "BOARD") as eligible to participate in this Plan with a convenient means of acquiring an equity interest in the Company through payroll deductions, to enhance such employees' sense of participation in the affairs of the Company and Subsidiaries, and to provide an incentive for continued employment.
3. ADMINISTRATION. This Plan shall be administered by a committee appointed by the Board (the "COMMITTEE") consisting of at least two (2) members of the Board, each of whom is a Disinterested Person as defined in Rule 16b-3(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "EXCHANGE ACT"). As used in this Plan, references to the "Committee" shall mean either such committee or the Board if no committee has been established. Board members who are not Disinterested Persons may not vote on any matters affecting the administration of this Plan, but any such member may be counted for determining the existence of a quorum at any meeting of the Board. Subject to the provisions of this Plan and the limitations of Section 423 of the Code or any successor provision in the Code, all questions of interpretation or application of this Plan shall be determined by the Board and its decisions shall be final and binding upon all participants. Members of the Board shall receive no compensation for their services in connection with the administration of this Plan, other than standard fees as established from time to time by the Board for services rendered by Board members serving on Board committees. All expenses incurred in connection with the administration of this Plan shall be paid by the Company.
4. ELIGIBILITY. Any employee of the Company or the Subsidiaries is eligible to participate in an Offering Period (as hereinafter defined) under this Plan except the following:
(a) employees who are not employed by the Company or Subsidiaries before the beginning of such Offering Period;
(b) employees who are customarily employed for less than twenty (20) hours per week;
(c) employees who are customarily employed for less than five (5) months in a calendar year;
(d) employees who, together with any other person whose stock would be attributed to such employee pursuant to Section 424(d) of the Code, own stock or hold options to purchase stock possessing five percent (5%) or more of the total combined voting power or value of all classes of stock of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or who, as a result of being granted an option under this Plan with respect to such Offering Period, would own stock or hold options to purchase stock possessing five percent (5%) or more of the total combined voting power or value of all classes of stock of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.
5. OFFERING DATES. The offering periods of this Plan (each, an "Offering
Period") shall be of periods not to exceed the maximum period permitted by
Section 423 of the Code. Until determined otherwise by the Committee, (a)
6. PARTICIPATION IN THIS PLAN. Eligible employees may become participants in an Offering Period under this Plan on the first Offering Date after satisfying the eligibility requirements by delivering a subscription agreement to the Company's Stock Administration Department or any other department designated by the Stock Administration Department or an officer of the Company ("STOCK ADMINISTRATION") not later than the last day of the month before such Offering Date unless a later time for filing the subscription agreement authorizing payroll deductions is set by the Board for all eligible employees with respect to a given Offering Period. An eligible employee who does not deliver a subscription agreement to Stock Administration by such date after becoming eligible to participate in such Offering Period shall not participate in that Offering Period or any subsequent Offering Period unless such employee enrolls in this Plan by filing a subscription agreement with Stock Administration not later than the last day of the month preceding a subsequent Offering Date. Once an employee becomes a participant in an Offering Period, such employee will automatically participate in the Offering Period commencing immediately following the last day of the prior Offering Period unless the employee withdraws or is deemed to withdraw from this Plan or terminates further participation in the Offering Period as set forth in Section 11 below. Such participant is not required to file any additional subscription agreement in order to continue participation in this Plan, unless such participant withdraws from this Plan.
7. GRANT OF OPTION ON ENROLLMENT. Enrollment by an eligible employee in this Plan with respect to an Offering Period will constitute the grant (as of the Offering Date) by the Company to such employee of an option to purchase on the Purchase Date up to that number of shares of Common Stock of the Company determined by dividing (a) the amount accumulated in such employee's payroll deduction account during such Purchase Period by (b) the lower of (i) eighty- five percent (85%) of the fair market value of a share of the Company's Common Stock on the Offering Date (but in no event less than the par value of a share of the Company's Common Stock), or (ii) eighty-five percent (85%) of the fair market value of a share of the Company's Common Stock on the Purchase Date (but in no event less than the par value of a share of the Company's Common Stock); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the number of shares of the Company's Common Stock subject to any option granted pursuant to this Plan shall not exceed the lesser of (a) the maximum number of shares set by the Board pursuant to Section 10(c) below with respect to the applicable Offering Period, or (b) the maximum number of shares which may be purchased pursuant to Section 10(b) below with respect to the applicable Offering Period. The fair market value of a share of the Company's Common Stock shall be determined as provided in Section 8 hereof.
8. PURCHASE PRICE. The purchase price per share at which a share of Common Stock will be sold in any Offering Period shall be eighty-five percent (85%) of the lesser of:
(a) The fair market value on the Offering Date; or
(b) The fair market value on the Purchase Date;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that in no event may the purchase price per share of the Company's Common Stock be below the par value per share of the Company's Common Stock.
For purposes of this Plan, the term "fair market value" on a given date shall mean the closing price of the Company's Common Stock as reported on a stock exchange or on the Nasdaq National Market System on the applicalbe date (or the average closing price over the number of consecutive trading days preceding such date as the Board shall deem appropriate. If the Company's stock is not reported on such exchange or such system or if there is no public market for the Company's Common Stock, the fair market value of the Company's Common Stock shall be as determined by the Board in its sole discretion, exercised in good faith.
(a) The purchase price of the shares is accumulated by regular payroll deductions made during each Offering Period. The deductions are made either (i) as a specified dollar amount per pay period, but not less than $5.00 per pay period and not greater than an amount equal to ten percent of the participant's Compensation as of the first day of such Offering Period or (ii) a percentage of the participant's compensation in one percent (1%) increments not less than one percent (2%) and not greater than ten percent (10%) or (iii) such lower limit set by the Committee. As used herein, "COMPENSATION" shall mean all base salary, wages, commissions, and overtime, and draws against commissions; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that for purposes of determining a participant's compensation, any election by such participant to reduce his or her regular cash remuneration under Sections 125 or 401(k) of the Code shall be treated as if the participant did not make such election. Payroll deductions shall commence on the first payday following the Offering Date and shall continue to the end of the Offering Period unless sooner altered or terminated as provided in this Plan.
(b) A participant may lower (but not increase) the rate of payroll deductions during an Offering Period by filing with Stock Administration a new authorization for payroll deductions, in which case the new rate shall become effective for the next payroll period commencing more than fifteen (15) days after Stock Administration's receipt of the authorization (or such earlier payroll after such receipt as the Company's payroll department is able to accommodate) and shall continue for the remainder of the Offering Period unless changed as described below. Such change in the rate of payroll deductions may be made at any time during an Offering Period, but not more than one (1) change may be made effective during any Offering Period. A participant may lower the rate of payroll deductions to zero for the remainder of the Offering Period. A participant may increase or decrease the rate of payroll deductions for any subsequent Offering Period by filing with Stock Administration a new authorization for payroll deductions not later than the last day of the month before the beginning of such Offering Period. A participant who has decreased the rate of withholding to zero will be deemed to have withdrawn from the Plan effective at the beginning of the Offering Period after the one in which the rate of withholding was reduced to zero and must file a new authorization for payroll deductions not later than the last day of the month before the beginning of the next Offering Period in which the participant wishes to participate.
(c) All payroll deductions made for a participant are credited to his or her account under this Plan and are deposited with the general funds of the Company. No interest accrues on the payroll deductions. All payroll deductions received or held by the Company may be used by the Company for any corporate purpose, and the Company shall not be obligated to segregate such payroll deductions.
(d) On each Purchase Date, so long as this Plan remains in effect and provided that the participant has not submitted to Stock Administration a signed and completed withdrawal form before that date which notifies the Company that the participant wishes to withdraw from that Offering Period under this Plan and have all payroll deductions accumulated in the account maintained on behalf of the participant as of that date returned to the participant, the Company shall apply the funds then in the participant's account to the purchase of whole shares of Common Stock reserved under the option granted to such participant with respect to the Offering Period to the extent that such option is exercisable on the Purchase Date. The purchase price per share shall be as specified in Section 8 of this Plan. Any cash remaining in a participant's account after such purchase of shares shall be refunded to such participant in cash, without interest. In the event that this Plan has been oversubscribed, all funds not used to purchase shares on the Purchase Date shall be returned to the participant, without interest. No Common Stock shall be purchased on a Purchase Date on behalf of any employee whose participation in this Plan has terminated prior to such Purchase Date.
(e) As promptly as practicable after the Purchase Date, the Company shall arrange the delivery to each participant of a certificate representing the shares purchased upon exercise of his option.
(f) During a participant's lifetime, such participant's option to purchase shares hereunder is exercisable only by him or her. The participant will have no interest or voting right in shares covered by his or her option until such option has been exercised. Shares to be delivered to a participant under this Plan will be registered in the name of the participant or in the name of the participant and his or her spouse or in the name of any stock brokerage or other
10. LIMITATIONS ON SHARES TO BE PURCHASED.
(a) No employee shall be entitled to purchase stock under this Plan at a rate which, when aggregated with his or her rights to purchase stock under all other employee stock purchase plans of the Company or any Subsidiary, exceeds $25,000 in fair market value, determined as of the Offering Date (or such other limit as may be imposed by the Code) for each calendar year in which the employee participates in this Plan.
(b) No more than two hundred percent (200%) of the number of shares determined by using eighty-five percent (85%) of the fair market value of a share of the Company's Common Stock on the Offering Date as the denominator may be purchased by a participant on any single Purchase Date.
(c) No employee shall be entitled to purchase more than the Maximum Share Amount (as defined below) on any single Purchase Date. Not less than thirty (30) days prior to the commencement of any Offering Period, the Board may, in its sole discretion, set a maximum number of shares which may be purchased by any employee at any single Purchase Date, which until changed by the Board shall be 500 Shares of Common Stock (hereinafter the "MAXIMUM SHARE AMOUNT"). In no event shall the Maximum Share Amount exceed the amounts permitted under Section 10(b) above. If a new Maximum Share Amount is set, then all participants must be notified of such Maximum Share Amount not less than fifteen (15) days prior to the commencement of the next Offering Period. Once the Maximum Share Amount is set, it shall continue to apply with respect to all succeeding Purchase Dates and Offering Periods unless revised by the Board as set forth above.
(d) If the number of shares to be purchased on a Purchase Date by all employees participating in this Plan exceeds the number of shares then available for issuance under this Plan, then the Company will make a pro rata allocation of the remaining shares in as uniform a manner as shall be reasonably practicable and as the Board shall determine to be equitable. In such event, the Company shall give written notice of such reduction of the number of shares to be purchased under a participant's option to each participant affected thereby.
(e) Any payroll deductions accumulated in a participant's account which are not used to purchase stock due to the limitations in this Section 10 shall be returned to the participant as soon as practicable after the end of the applicable Purchase Period, without interest.
11. WITHDRAWAL.
(a) Each participant may withdraw from an Offering Period under this Plan by signing and delivering to Stock Administration a written notice to that effect on a form provided for such purpose. Such withdrawal may be elected at any time at least fifteen (15) days prior to the end of an Offering Period.
(b) Upon withdrawal from this Plan, the accumulated payroll deductions shall be returned to the withdrawn participant, without interest, and his or her interest in this Plan shall terminate. In the event a participant voluntarily elects to withdraw from this Plan, he or she may not resume his or her participation in this Plan during the same Offering Period, but he or she may participate in any subsequent Offering Period by filing a new authorization for payroll deductions in the same manner as set forth above for initial participation in this Plan.
12. TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT. Termination of a participant's employment for any reason, including retirement, death or the failure of a participant to remain an eligible employee, immediately terminates his or her participation in this Plan. In such event, the payroll deductions credited to the participant's account will be returned to him or her or, in the case of his or her death, to his or her legal representative, without interest. For purposes of this Section 12, an employee will not be deemed to have terminated employment or failed to remain in the continuous employ of the Company in the case of sick leave, military leave, or any other leave of absence approved by the Board; PROVIDED that such leave is for a period of not more than ninety (90) days or reemployment upon the expiration of such leave is guaranteed by contract or statute.
14. CAPITAL CHANGES. Subject to any required action by the stockholders of the Company, the number of shares of Common Stock covered by each option under this Plan which has not yet been exercised and the number of shares of Common Stock which have been authorized for issuance under this Plan but have not yet been placed under option (collectively, the "RESERVES"), as well as the price per share of Common Stock covered by each option under this Plan which has not yet been exercised, shall be proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company resulting from a stock split or the payment of a stock dividend (but only on the Common Stock) or any other increase or decrease in the number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock effected without receipt of any consideration by the Company; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that conversion of any convertible securities of the Company shall not be deemed to have been "effected without receipt of consideration"; and PROVIDED FURTHER, that the price per share of Common Stock shall not be reduced below its par value per share. Such adjustment shall be made by the Board, whose determination shall be final, binding and conclusive. Except as expressly provided herein, no issue by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number or price of shares of Common Stock subject to an option.
In the event of the proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Offering Period will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed action, unless otherwise provided by the Board. The Board may, in the exercise of its sole discretion in such instances, declare that the options under this Plan shall terminate as of a date fixed by the Board and give each participant the right to exercise his or her option as to all of the optioned stock, including shares which would not otherwise be exercisable. In the event of a proposed sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or the merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation, each option under this Plan shall be assumed or an equivalent option shall be substituted by such successor corporation or a parent or subsidiary of such successor corporation, unless the Board determines, in the exercise of its sole discretion and in lieu of such assumption or substitution, that the participant shall have the right to exercise the option as to all of the optioned stock. If the Board makes an option exercisable in lieu of assumption or substitution in the event of a merger, consolidation or sale of assets, the Board shall notify the participant that the option shall be fully exercisable for a period of twenty (20) days from the date of such notice, and the option will terminate upon the expiration of such period.
The Board may, if it so determines in the exercise of its sole discretion, also make provision for adjusting the Reserves, as well as the price per share of Common Stock covered by each outstanding option, in the event that the Company effects one or more reorganizations, recapitalizations, rights offerings or other increases or reductions of shares of its outstanding Common Stock, or in the event of the Company being consolidated with or merged into any other corporation; PROVIDED, that the price per share of Common Stock shall not be reduced below its par value per share.
15. NONASSIGNABILITY. Neither payroll deductions credited to a participant's account nor any rights with regard to the exercise of an option or to receive shares under this Plan may be assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of in any way (other than by will, the laws of descent and distribution or as provided in Section 22 hereof) by the participant. Any such attempt at assignment, transfer, pledge or other disposition shall be void and without effect.
16. REPORTS. Individual accounts will be maintained for each participant in this Plan. Each participant shall receive promptly after the end of each Purchase Period a report of his or her account setting forth the total payroll deductions accumulated, the number of shares purchased, the per share price thereof and the remaining cash balance, if any, carried forward to the next Purchase Period or Offering Period, as the case may be.
17. NOTICE OF DISPOSITION. Each participant shall notify the Company if the participant disposes of any of the shares purchased in any Offering Period pursuant to this Plan if such disposition occurs within two (2) years from the Offering Date or within one (1) year from the Purchase Date on which such shares were purchased (the
18. NO RIGHTS TO CONTINUED EMPLOYMENT. Neither this Plan nor the grant of any option hereunder shall confer any right on any employee to remain in the employ of the Company or any Subsidiary, or restrict the right of the Company or any Subsidiary to terminate such employee's employment.
19. EQUAL RIGHTS AND PRIVILEGES. All eligible employees shall have equal rights and privileges with respect to this Plan so that this Plan qualifies as an "employee stock purchase plan" within the meaning of Section 423 or any successor provision of the Code and the related regulations.

Dr. Gayn B. Winters
57 Madison Road
Wellesley, Massachusetts 02181
Dear Gayn,
I am very pleased to offer you the position of Vice President, Engineering and Chief Technical Officer, reporting to me. Your office will be in our Southern California development center in Irvine. Your employment with Phoenix should commence as soon as possible; our current understanding is that your start date will be August 7, 1995. This letter will confirm the employment terms that we have discussed over the last several days.
1. CASH COMPENSATION
Your base salary will be $160,000 per annum. You will be eligible to receive an incentive bonus of $35,000 per annum, upon achievement of goals. These goals will be in part set by you and me, but will also include Phoenix performance factors, all in conformance with guidelines established for executive management by Phoenix's Board of Directors and its Compensation Committee. However, for the first twelve months of your employment, Phoenix will guarantee the full incentive compensation on a quarterly basis.
In addition, you will be given a special bonus on each of the first through fifth anniversaries of the date of the relocation loan referred to in item 3.B below. The amount of each bonus will be the same as the principal payment due from you on that anniversary date under the relocation loan. Each such bonus will be payable only if you are an employee of Phoenix on the applicable anniversary date. Phoenix will have the right to apply such bonus against any amounts due under the relocation loan.
2. STOCK OPTIONS
You will be recommended to the Compensation Committee of the Board for a grant of options to purchase 75,000 shares of Phoenix common stock. The exercise price will be the price of Phoenix stock on the date you first become an employee of the Company. The options will vest as follows:
A. Options covering 50,000 shares will vest 25% on the first anniversary of your employment with the Company and the balance will vest in 12 equal installments each three months thereafter;
i. If certain performance criteria to be agreed upon for your first year of employment are achieved, options covering 10,000 shares will vest in 16 equal installments every three months, with the first installment vesting three months after the first anniversary of your employment;
ii. If certain performance criteria to be agreed upon for your second year of employment are achieved, options covering 10,000 shares will vest in 16 equal installments every three months, with the first installment vesting three months after the second anniversary of your employment;
iii. If certain performance criteria to be agreed upon for your third year of employment are achieved, options covering 5,000 shares will vest in 16 equal installments every three months, with the first installment vesting three months after the third anniversary of your employment.
If the performance criteria are either not agreed on or not met for any particular year of employment, then the options covering the shares for that year of employment will not vest until the seventh anniversary of your employment start date.
3. RELOCATION ASSISTANCE
In an effort to ease the relocation costs and the cost of living differential between Southern California and Massachusetts, Phoenix will provide the following relocation assistance:
A. Phoenix will reimburse you for the reasonable cost of moving your household goods, which includes one sailboat, to Southern California and for the reasonable real estate commissions due upon the sale of your home in Wellesley, provided such sale occurs while you are a Phoenix employee. Phoenix will pay for the cost of up to two househunting trips to the Southern California area by you and your companion. The Company will also provide a temporary living allowance for a period not to exceed 120 days if your new residence in Southern California is unavailable for immediate occupancy. All travel and moving arrangements will be made through Phoenix; we have an arrangement with an excellent nationwide moving company which will help control costs. You, of course, will exercise great care to minimize the relocation costs for which Phoenix has agreed to reimburse, which would include negotiating the real estate commissions with your agent. Your relocation activity should be coordinated with Kathy Newman.
4. TERMINATION
Your employment with Phoenix is "at-will". This letter is not intended to create any promise of continued employment with Phoenix. If, however, your employment with the Company is terminated other than for cause or other than voluntarily, Phoenix will provide you with continuation of your then current monthly base salary until the earlier to occur of the date you secure other similar level full-time employment or the first anniversary of your employment termination date. You agree that you will actively and vigorously seek new employment in the event of any such termination of employment with Phoenix. For purposes of this agreement termination which is for cause means termination for reasons of (i) any violation of the Company's policies regarding creation of an offensive workplace or sexual harassment, (ii) commission of a felony, (iii) commission of an act of fraud or deceit in the performance of duties on behalf of the Company or any affiliate of the Company, (iv) violation of federal or state securities laws with respect to the Company's securities, (v) violation of the Employee Invention Assignment and Proprietary Agreement signed as contemplated below or (vi) the continuing failure to perform assigned duties (other than failure due to mental or physical incapacity) after written notice thereof.
5. MISCELLANEOUS
You will also be eligible to participate in our employee benefit programs including medical, dental, life, and short and long term disability insurance. You will be eligible to participate in our 401(k) program after six months of employment and in our employee stock purchase plan.
Upon your employment, you will be asked to sign a standard Employee Invention Assignment and Proprietary Agreement agreeing to hold in confidence any proprietary information received as an employee of the Company and to assign to the Company any inventions that you make while employed by the Company. We wish to impress upon you that we do not wish to bring with you any confidential or proprietary material of any former employer or to violate any other obligation to your former employers. If you
Gayn, I am truly looking forward to working with you. I think that we can make Phoenix enormously successful and an exciting place to work. If I have captured all of the points that we discussed and if you agree with the terms of this letter, please sign and return a copy of it to me.
This offer will expire on July 16, 1995 at 6:00 p.m. (PDT) unless your written acceptance is received by Phoenix by that time.
Best regards,
/s/ Jack Kay Jack Kay President and COO |

Landlord and Tenant previously entered into a lease dated June 29, 1989 (the "Original Lease") with respect to the Building commonly known as 846 University Avenue, Norwood, Massachusetts (the "Building"). Pursuant to a letter agreement dated January 11, 1995 among Tenant, Maric, Inc. and others (the "Preliminary Letter Agreement"), Tenant agreed to restructure the Original Lease and to pay for the construction of tenant improvements in those portions of the Building which Tenant was relinquishing. Landlord and Tenant have agreed to amend and restate the Original Lease to effect the restructuring contemplated by said letter agreement.
In consideration of the rent and covenants herein set forth and contained, on the part of Tenant to be paid, performed and observed, Landlord does hereby demise and lease unto Tenant approximately 17,638 rentable square feet (RSF) on the first floor (hereinafter called the "Premises") per Exhibit "A" in the Building containing 63,514 square feet located on a parcel of land situated on University Avenue, containing approximately 4.612 acres of land (the "Lot"), together with the right to use in common with Landlord and others from time to time entitled thereto the common areas of the Building (including without limitation lobbies, restrooms, elevators), all appurtenances to the Building, the parking spaces and the Lot, including the right to use in common the roads, driveways and utilities serving or adjacent to the Building or the Lot (hereinafter collectively called the "Property").

The "Adjustment Date" shall mean the Rent Commencement Date as such term is defined in the Lease between Landlord and NYL of even date (the "NYL Lease"), but in no event later than June 1, 1995. Landlord and Tenant shall, at the request of either, execute an acknowledgment, specifying the Adjustment Date.
Tenant covenants and agrees with Landlord to pay as rent during the term hereof and so long thereafter as Tenant or anyone claiming under Tenant occupies the Premises:
2.l A fixed rental at the rates and in the amounts set forth in Exhibit 1 attached and made a part hereof on the first day of each month in advance commencing on the Term Commencement Date. In the event there is any partial month at the beginning or end of the term, the monthly rent for such partial month will be adjusted proportionately and shall be paid on the Term Commencement Date or the first of the month, as the case may be. Fixed rent shall continue to be payable hereunder, as adjusted in accordance with Exhibit 1, through July 27, 1998, notwithstanding that Tenant may cease to occupy space in the Building.
2.2 Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as part of Operating Costs as specified in Section 2.2.5, Tenant's proportionate share of the actual taxes levied against the Property, including any adjustment for abatements of all real estate and personal property taxes levied or assessed or becoming due on the lot and the Building and other improvements located on the Lot for each tax period included in the term and a proportionate amount for any partial period at the beginning and end thereof.
2.2.1 Taxes shall include Tenant's proportionate share of each installment of any public, special or betterment assessment levied or assessed or becoming payable for or in respect of the Lot or Building, or both for each installment period wholly included in the term, and, a proportionate amount

2.2.2 All taxes levied on the personal property of Tenant shall be the obligation of and be paid by Tenant whether the same is assessed to Tenant or Landlord and whether the same shall be considered part of the realty or personalty and further that Tenant agrees to indemnify, and hold harmless the Landlord from any loss, damage, debt or claim resulting therefrom.
2.2.3 If, at any time during the term, under the law of the United States or any state or political subdivision thereof in which the Premises are situated, there shall be adopted some other method of taxation on real estate as a substitute in whole or in part for taxes on real estate as now constituted, such as tax on the fixed rent, additional rent or the other charges payable by Tenant hereunder, by whatever name called which is levied, assessed or imposed against Landlord or the rent or other charges payable hereunder to Landlord, (which substitute tax on the fixed rent, additional rent, or other charges or other substitute method of taxation are hereinafter collectively referred to as "Substitute Taxes" and shall be applicable to all owners of commercial real estate generally), Tenant shall pay its proportionate share of Substitute Taxes, calculated as if the tax parcel on which the Building is located was the only property of Landlord.

Such insurance shall be written by companies licensed to do business in Massachusetts and be reasonably acceptable to Landlord and may be in the form of a blanket and as an umbrella policy covering more than one location. Landlord acknowledges that Tenant's current insurance company is acceptable. Tenant may provide such protection through a self insurance program reasonably acceptable to Landlord. Tenant shall provide Landlord with evidence, reasonably acceptable to Landlord, of all insurance required in connection with the Premises.
2.2.4.1 Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as a part of Operating Costs as specified in Section 2.2.5, Tenant's proportionate share of the cost to Landlord of taking out and maintaining throughout the term of this lease, and Landlord shall maintain throughout the term of this Lease, the following insurance protecting Landlord:

2.2.4.1.2 Insurance against loss or damage from sprinklers and from leakage or explosion or cracking of boilers, pipes carrying steam or water, or both, pressure vessels or similar apparatus, in the so-called "broad form" and in such amounts as Landlord may reasonably require. Also, insurance against other hazards as may from time to time be required by any bank, insurance company or other lending institution holding a mortgage on the Premises, provided that such insurance is customarily carried in the suburban Boston area on property similar to the Premises and used for similar purposes.
2.2.4.1.3 Policies for insurance required under the provisions of Subsections 2.2.4.1.1 and 2.2.4.1.2 shall, in the case of loss, be first payable to the holders of any mortgages on the Premises and shall be deposited with the holder of any mortgage on the Premises or with Landlord, as Landlord may elect. Landlord reserves the right to provide the insurance required under Sections 2.2.4.1.1 and 2.2.4.1.2 or insurance in substitution acceptable to Landlord through a blanket policy and Tenant agrees to pay an allocated portion of the costs of such blanket policy. The amount of insurance carried by Landlord pursuant to Sections 2.2.4.1.1 and 2.2.4.1.2 shall be reasonably acceptable to Tenant to insure sufficient net proceeds to restore the Premises pursuant to Article IV.
2.2.4.2 All insurance which is carried by either party with respect to the Premises, whether or not required; if either party so requests it can be so written, and if it does not result in additional premium, or if the requesting party agrees to pay any additional premium, shall include provisions which either designate the requesting party as one of the insured or deny to the insurer acquisition by subrogation of rights of recovery against the requesting party. The requesting party shall be entitled to have certificates of any policies containing such provisions. Each party hereby waives all rights of recovery against the other for loss or injury
2.2.4.3 Landlord shall, at Tenant's expense, install a separate electric meter for lighting, office machines and tenant equipment including any special installation unique to Tenant's use in the Premises which meter may, at Landlord's discretion, either be a meter which is read by the utility providing such electrical service or a so-called check meter monitoring Tenant's usage of electricity. Tenant agrees to reimburse Landlord monthly throughout the term for, or pay directly to the applicable utility all costs related to electricity consumed in the Premises for lighting, office machines, tenant equipment including any special installations unique to Tenant's use. If Tenant is to reimburse Landlord, Tenant's electrical reimbursement charge will be calculated by multiplying Tenant's usage times Landlord's per unit cost of electricity for the period to which the reimbursement applies.

Maintenance and repair of equipment located within the Premises such as kitchen fixtures, special air conditioning equipment, private bathroom fixtures or any other type of special equipment together with related plumbing or electrical services, whether installed by Tenant or by Landlord on behalf of Tenant, shall be the sole responsibility of Tenant and Landlord shall have no obligation in connection therewith, except for the kitchen sink and associated plumbing which Landlord shall maintain and repair. Tenant shall continuously occupy the Premises for its intended use for the term of this Lease.
This indemnity and hold harmless agreement shall include indemnity against all reasonable expenses and liability incurred in or in connection with any such claim or proceeding brought thereon and the defense thereof with counsel reasonably acceptable to the Landlord or counsel selected by an insurance company which has accepted liability for such claim.
3.3.1 The Tenant agrees to use and occupy the Premises and to use other portions of the Lot as the Tenant is herein given the right to use at the Tenant's own risk, and the Landlord shall have no responsibility or liability for any loss of or damage to fixtures, equipment or other personal property of the Tenant except for damage caused by the willful or negligent acts of Landlord, its agents, principals, partners, officers, employees, or representatives.

Tenant shall reimburse Landlord promptly for reasonable legal or other expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with any request by Tenant for such consent. In all cases, 50% of any amounts received by Tenant in excess of its reasonable expenses in connection with such assignment or sublet and any other amounts paid to Landlord hereunder shall be paid to Landlord immediately on receipt. No assignment or subletting shall in any way impair the continuing primary liability of Tenant and no consent to any assigning or subletting in a particular instance shall be deemed to be a waiver of the obligation to obtain the Landlord's approval in the case of any other assignment or subletting.
3.5 Tenant shall conduct its business within the Premises in conformance with all state and municipal laws and with all requirements of any public body or officers having jurisdiction over the Premises and in conformance with the requirements or regulations of any Board of Fire Underwriters or insurance company insuring the Premises at the time, all at Tenant's own expense without reimbursement from Landlord.

Tenant shall not be deemed in default with respect to any default not requiring the payment of money which Tenant timely commences to cure and pursues such cure diligently to completion. In performing any Tenant obligation Landlord may make any reasonable payment of money or perform any other reasonable act. All sums so paid by Landlord and all necessary incidental costs and expenses in connection with the performance of any such act by Landlord shall be deemed to be additional rent under this Lease and shall be payable to Landlord immediately on demand. Landlord may exercise the foregoing rights without waiving or releasing Tenant from any of its obligations under this Lease.

Tenant's obligation to observe or perform this covenant shall survive the expiration or other termination of the term of this Lease. If the last day of the term of this Lease or any renewal thereof falls on Sunday, this Lease shall expire on the business day immediately preceding. If Landlord elects to treat Tenant as a holdover for a further term, any concession of rent or agreement in respect of decorations or the like in the initial term shall not apply to such holdover. Rent during such holdover term shall be 1.5 times the rent paid, including fixed rent and additional rent during the last preceding period.

Landlord reserves the right to make reasonable modifications which shall be binding upon all Tenants upon delivery of a copy of them to each tenant. Rules must be uniformly applied and enforced. A copy of the current Rules and Regulations is attached as Exhibit E. In the event of any inconsistency between this Lease and such Rules and Regulations, this Lease shall govern.

3.12 Tenant shall not cause or permit any Hazardous Substances to be used, stored, generated or disposed of on or in the Premises by Tenant, Tenant's agents, employees or contractors, without first obtaining in each instance Landlord's written consent. Tenant may, without Landlord's consent, store and use in accordance with all applicable law Hazardous Substances normally used in general office operations conducted on the Premises, in quantities normally associated with office use, as long as (a) such operations are within the scope of the uses permitted under this lease and (b) in doing so, Tenant complies with all provisions of this Section 3.12. Landlord agrees that in the event it consents to the use, storage or generation of Hazardous Substances beyond the minimal quantities referred to above by any tenant of the Property, it will advise Tenant of such consent. Landlord has not, as of the date hereof, issued any such consents to anyone and, agrees to advise Tenant in the event such consent is granted in the future. Any such use, storage, generation or disposal of Hazardous Substances shall comply with all applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations. If Tenant or Tenant's agents, employees or contractors use, store, generate or dispose of Hazardous Substances on or in the Premises, or if the Premises become contaminated in any manner for which Tenant is legally liable, Tenant shall indemnify and hold harmless the Landlord from any and all claims, damages, fines, judgments, penalties, costs, liabilities or losses arising during or after the term and arising as a result of such contamination by Tenant. This indemnification includes, without limitation, any and all costs incurred due to any investigation of the site or any cleanup, removal or restoration mandated by a federal, state or local agency or political subdivision. Without limitation of the foregoing, if Tenant causes or permits the presence of any Hazardous Substance on the Premises and such results in contamination, Tenant shall promptly, at its sole expense, take any and all necessary actions to return the Premises to the condition existing prior to the presence of any such Hazardous Substance on the Premises. Except in the case of an emergency, Tenant shall first obtain Landlord's approval for any such remedial action, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed and which in any event shall be granted if the regulatory authorities with jurisdiction have approved the

3.13 At Landlord's request, in consideration of entering into this Lease, Tenant shall execute and deliver to Landlord a Bill of Sale transferring to Landlord all Tenant's right, title and interest in and to any equipment, furniture and fixtures used in connection with the operation of the cafeteria in the Building.

4.l, this Lease shall continue in force and a just proportion of the rent

Premises building services and common areas, shall be suspended or abated
from the date of such loss or taking, until the Premises, or what may remain
thereof, shall be put by Landlord in proper condition acceptable to Tenant
for use, which Landlord covenants to do with reasonable diligence subject to
zoning and building laws then in existence. In the case of a taking which
permanently reduces the floor area of the Premises, the rent shall be abated
for the remainder of the term in proportion to the amount by which the floor
area has been reduced.
4.3 Irrespective of the form in which recovery may be had by law, all rights to damages or compensation shall belong to Landlord in all cases, except for damage to Tenant's fixtures, property or equipment, and for damages, if any, awarded for relocation expenses and business interruption for which Tenant shall be entitled to bring a separate action, provided that the same shall not reduce the damages or compensation which Landlord would otherwise recover. Tenant hereby grants to Landlord all of Tenant's rights to such damages and covenants to deliver such further assignments thereof as Landlord may from time to time request.

In calculating the amounts to be paid by Tenant under the foregoing covenant, Tenant shall be credited with any rent and additional rent actually obtained by Landlord by reletting the Premises, after deducting the reasonable expenses of collecting the same. Tenant further covenants as an additional and cumulative obligation upon Tenant's failure to meet any of its obligations under the foregoing covenant to pay forthwith to Landlord as compensation the total rent due for the residue of the term subject to amounts recovered by reletting. This covenant shall run with the land. Nothing herein contained shall, however, limit or prejudice the right of Landlord to prove for and obtain in proceedings for bankruptcy or insolvency or arrangement with creditors as liquidated damages by reason of such determination an amount equal to the maximum

Landlord agrees to amortize the costs of releasing the premises over the term of any new lease. Landlord agrees to use reasonable diligence to re-let the leased premises and to mitigate damages hereunder. In no event shall Tenant's obligations with respect to the Lease extend beyond the term existing at the time of termination.
5.2 If the Landlord shall default in the performance of any of its obligations under this Lease for more than thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice from Tenant specifying such default, unless the default is of such a nature that it cannot be cured in such thirty (30) day period provided Landlord commences to cure such default within thirty (30) days of receipt of Tenant's notice, and thereafter diligently pursues such cure to completion, Tenant may, after the expiration of such thirty (30) day period, cure the default of Landlord, provided, however, that if as the result of Landlord's default a condition exists which, if not cured, would be dangerous or would prevent Tenant from occupying the Premises for the intended purposes, Tenant may upon such notice as is reasonable under the circumstances, cause such default to be cured.

A. Prudential is the owner of the building (the "Building") located at 846 University Avenue, Norwood, MA, and Phoenix is currently the tenant of the entire Building.
B. Maric has entered into a Real Estate Purchase Agreement with prudential pursuant to which Maric will acquire the Building. In connection with such acquisition and at the request of Phoenix, Maric has negotiated, and Prudential and NYL have entered into, a Lease Agreement of even date with NYL (the "NYL Lease") pursuant to which NYL will lease a portion of the space occupied by Phoenix. Maric and Phoenix have also negotiated, and Prudential and Phoenix have entered into, an Amended and Reinstated Lease of even date (the "Phoenix Lease") pursuant to which Phoenix will reduce the number of square feet rented by Phoenix in the Building. In consideration of reducing its rental obligation to Prudential, Phoenix has agreed to reimburse NYL for a portion of the tenant improvements to be constructed pursuant to the NYL Lease.
C. As security for Phoenix's performance of its obligation to reimburse NYL for such tenant improvements, Phoenix will establish an interest-bearing escrow account (the "ESCROW") with the Escrow Holder and deposit therein the amount of $642,264 (the "Escrow Amount") to be used only to pay for the actual cost of tenant improvement work ("TI Work") pursuant to the NYL Lease.
Now, therefore, for and in consideration of the foregoing facts which are made a part hereof, the mutual covenants contained herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:
1. ESTABLISHMENT OF ESCROW. Upon execution of this Agreement, the Escrow Amount shall be delivered by Phoenix to the Escrow Holder to be held in Escrow.
(a) Upon notice to Escrow Holder, given no more frequently than monthly, and submission of paid invoices with respect to TI Work done through the date of such request, lien waivers evidencing payment from the general contractor for all costs in connection with the TI Work for which reimbursement is requested, and an inspection report of Escrow Holder or an inspecting architect or engineer selected by Escrow Holder (the reasonable cost of which shall be included in the disbursement) indicating that such work has been done in accordance with the requirements of the NYL Lease and the percentage of the TI Work which is complete through the date of such certificate (the "Percentage Completion"), an amount equal to the (i) Escrow Amount times the Percentage Completion, less (ii) any retainage applicable under the construction contracts for such TI Work, less (iii) the portion of the Escrow Amount theretofor distributed. No disbursement shall be made unless NYL has submitted reasonably satisfactory assurances to Escrow Agent that all amounts previously due with respect to such TI Work have been paid.
(b) A final payment of the Escrow Amount shall be made upon notice to Escrow Holder, Prudential and Phoenix, accompanied by certificates of occupancy, paid invoices, final lien waivers from the general contractor evidencing payment of all costs in connection with the TI Work, and a reasonably satisfactory inspection report of Escrow Holder or an inspecting architect or engineer selected by Escrow Holder (the reasonable cost of which shall be included in the disbursement) indicating that such work has been done in accordance with the requirements of the Lease.
(c) The parties hereto agree that ADD, Inc. shall serve as the inspecting architect for the TI Work as contemplated by Section 2(a) and (b) above, except that an engineer named by Landlord shall perform an inspection of the HVAC systems prior to the final payment contemplated by Section 2(b) above.
3. DISBURSEMENT FROM ESCROW. Upon receipt of the notice set forth in
SECTION 2, Escrow Holder shall determine within 5 days after receipt of such
request that the documentation submitted for any disbursement establishes
that the request is
4. DEFAULT. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, no release shall be made to NYL if there has been a default beyond the applicable grace period under the NYL Lease. Upon any such Default, the entire balance of the Escrow fund may be used by the then owner of the Building, in its sole discretion, to complete the TI Work. Escrow Holder is irrevocably authorized and directed to honor a withdrawal of funds from the Escrow at any time by such owner upon receipt of written notice from such owner that any such Default has occurred.
5. INVESTMENT OF ESCROW. The Escrow shall immediately be invested, and shall remain invested until disbursed according to this Agreement, in a federally insured interest bearing account or in securities issued by the United States or an agency thereof with a remaining term to maturity of 90 days or less, or in other securities directed by Phoenix and approved by Prudential in writing, but in no event shall the maturities of any securities extend beyond 90 days. All interest and other investment income shall be paid to Phoenix immediately upon being credited to the Escrow Account.
6. ESCROW HOLDER'S INSTRUCTIONS. This Agreement shall be delivered to the Escrow Holder and the provisions hereof shall constitute the escrow instructions to the Escrow Holder from the parties hereto; provided, however, that the parties shall execute such additional instructions as reasonably requested by the Escrow Holder not inconsistent with the provisions hereof. The Escrow Holder shall not be liable to either Phoenix or NYL in connection with the performance of any duty imposed on the Escrow Holder hereunder or any action taken by the Escrow Holder in good faith and in conformity with the provisions of this Agreement, except for the Escrow Holder's negligence or willful misconduct.
7. FEES AND COSTS. Phoenix shall have no liability for any fees, costs and/or expenses of the Escrow Holder in connection with the performance of its duties under this Agreement and Phoenix shall not be responsible for any taxes imposed upon or assessed against the Escrow other than income taxes due on interest or other investment income paid to Phoenix from the Escrow.
8. NOTICE. All notices shall be given in accordance with the provisions of the NYL Lease or the Phoenix Lease as applicable. Notices to Escrow Holder shall be addressed as follows:
9. COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original and all of which shall constitute one and the same Agreement.

Upon acquisition of the Building by Maric from Prudential, Prudential shall cease to be a party to this Agreement, Prudential shall have no further rights or obligations hereunder and Maric shall succeed to and assume all of Prudential's rights and obligations hereunder.
11. CHOICE OF LAW. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
12. PHOENIX OBLIGATIONS. Upon depositing the Escrow Amount in the Escrow Account, Phoenix shall have no further obligation or liability (under the Phoenix Lease or otherwise) with respect to any tenant improvement work for space demised to NYL in the Building.
In witness whereof, the parties hereto have executed this Agreement as a sealed instrument as of the day and year first set forth above.
This exhibit shall be set forth above with the changes penned hereon and such other changes as are mutually agreeable to all parties.
