Item 1 Business
Cheyenne Software, Inc. ("Cheyenne", the "Registrant" or the
"Company"), formed in 1983, is engaged in the development, sale and support of
software products for use in microcomputers and computer systems mainly for
Local Area Network (LAN) and, more recently, Wide Area Network (WAN)
applications. Cheyenne's key technical product strategy is to employ the network
file server's high performance capabilities based on the client/server model.
The Company's products provide key services to administrators and users
of computer networks, in the following categories:
a) Network Data Storage Management - includes ARCserve, HSM and
JETserve
b) Network Security - includes InocuLAN
c) Network Management - includes Monitrix
d) Network Communications - includes FAXserve and Bit products
In July, 1995, Cheyenne established three divisions based upon
operating system platforms, a NetWare division, a Windows/NT division and a
UNIX division. By focusing on serving the needs of each platform, the Company
expects to align its activities closer to its channels of distribution,
strategic partners and customers. Cheyenne has network data storage
management products for these major and other platforms. With respect to other
product categories, Cheyenne has products which support some of these major
and other platforms.
Software Products
- -----------------
A brief description of key Cheyenne software products follows below.
Network Data Storage Management
- -------------------------------
Approximately 88.6% of Cheyenne's revenues for the fiscal year ended
June 30, 1995 ("FY95") relate to the ARCserve(R) product line. The last major
enhancement for the NetWare platform was at the end of the fourth quarter of the
fiscal year ended June 30, 1993 ("FY93"). A major enhancement for the NetWare
platform is anticipated by the end of calendar year 1995. A Microsoft NT version
was released in FQ395. ARCserve/Open for UNIX was extended in FY95 to support
additional UNIX operating systems.
ARCserve(R) for NetWare Version 4.x
- -----------------------------------
ARCserve DOS Edition provides fully automated data management services
for Novell networks. ARCserve consists of the ARCserve Server, a VAP or NLM
(NetWare Loadable Module) that resides on a computer server. It also includes
ARCserve Manager, a workstation front-end that lets the user execute or schedule
services to be performed by the VAP or NLM. This client/server architecture lets
the user perform centralized data backup without a dedicated workstation and
gives users simultaneous access to data management services while it enhances
security for the network. The VAP or NLM performs backup and restore for the
entire network while remaining completely in the background. ARCserve allows
hardware to operate at its optimum speed. Data is sent directly from the file
server to attached storage devices without traveling over the network. ARCserve
offers flexibility in media and device selection. It supports most available
SCSI and QIC-02 tape drives, disk and optical hardware, and a wide variety of
host adapters.
ARCserve includes Auto Pilot Tape Management, an invisible operator
which guides the user through tape management, rotation, and labeling. The Disk
Grooming option frees up valuable disk space by moving outdated files to tape
automatically. For disaster recovery, AutoPilot's Quick Recover feature restores
the system or a designated file to any specified date. Also
3
<PAGE>
included is a File Tracking System and Quick File Access. The user queries the
system to locate a backup session or specific file, and ARCserve prompts the
user to mount the tapes needed to perform the restore. For preventive
maintenance, ARCserve's Tape Usage Database gives the user factual information
on the condition of tapes. This enables the user to make educated decisions
about tape usage and tape retirement. ARCserve 4.x is compatible with NetWare
3.X and 4.X.
ARCserve(R) for NetWare Version 5.x
- ------------------------------------
ARCserve Windows Edition maintains the same innovative functions as
ARCserve 4.x DOS Edition and adds new functionality. Whether the user has a
small single-server or a large multiserver network environment, ARCserve Windows
Edition will back up all NetWare servers, DOS, Windows, OS/2, and MacIntosh
workstations and certain UNIX workstations, as well as certain database servers.
Using the Microsoft Windows 3.1 Graphical User Interface (GUI),
ARCserve Windows Edition manages backup easily. Parallel Streaming
simultaneously processes backup and/or restore operations to seven devices
chained on one SCSI adapter. ARCserve supports most industry standard SCSI and
QIC-02 tape drivers and a wide variety of host adapters. Messages notify the
user in a timely manner if any problems occur, and are configurable on a per job
basis using the ARCserve Manager. ARCserve integrates with Cheyenne's InocuLAN
to ensure virus-free backups and sends alert messages and reports via facsimile
with Cheyenne's FAXserve.
ARCserve(R) for Windows NT Version 2.x
- --------------------------------------
In FQ3/95, Cheyenne began to ship ARCserve for NT Version 1.0. The
product offers the same comprehensive, high performance features found in
ARCserve for NetWare Windows Edition. It functions as an operating system
service, rather than as an application, permitting system-wide backups to be
scheduled and performed, regardless of user log-in. Once ARCserve for NT
schedules the backup, the control is given to the Windows NT operating system. A
maximum level of security is therefore obtained because the need to remain
connected to the server during the backup process is eliminated. This product
also includes a virus scanning engine for Cheyenne's InocuLAN for Windows NT
anti-virus software to further provide high data integrity.
Version 2.x began to ship in late FQ4/95.
ARCserve(R)/Open
- ----------------
ARCserve(R)/Open provides fully automated data management services for
certain UNIX environments. The software operates natively in a UNIX environment
that does not include a Novell network. It offers automation, reliability and
performance to the UNIX back-up operation, which can be performed in the
background or in real time. ARCserve(R)/Open has been available since September
1992. The product line was extended to include platform support for additional
UNIX operating systems in FY95.
ARCserve(R) for MacIntosh
- -------------------------
In the third quarter of the fiscal year ended June 30, 1994 ("FY94"),
Cheyenne began to ship ARCserve for MacIntosh. The product offers backup and
restore for stand-alone and networked MacIntosh computers.
ARCserve(R) Options
- -------------------
Shipments of the Tape Changer and Stacker software modules for ARCserve
(NLM only), providing fully automated, high capacity NetWare data storage and
management commenced toward the end of the fiscal year ended June 30, 1992
("FY92").
Agent options for MacIntosh and UNIX workstations including IBM AIX,
HP/UX, DEC Ultrix, SunSoft Solaris, Univel and Unixware are available for
ARCserve (NLM only). They give the user a single source for effective data
management in multiple operating system environments.
4
<PAGE>
The DBagent options for ARCserve (including agents for NetWare Btrieve,
SQL, Oracle and Gupta) provide on-line backup of mission critical databases on
the network. Traditionally, databases that are continuously on-line or "active"
have been difficult to backup completely, as they are constantly being modified.
HSM
- ---
Cheyenne HSM Hierarchical Storage Management is a process of
automatically and transparently migrating data across a hierarchy of storage
media. Infrequently accessed files typically are moved from primary storage on a
server hard drive to more cost effective storage media, including optical and
tape storage. While HSM systems have been available for mainframe environments,
they are just now being recognized as critical to managing storage in large
networked environments.
In FQ3/95, Cheyenne began to ship Cheyenne Hierarchical Storage Manager
1.0, a fully automated storage product for NetWare 3.11, 3.12 and 4.x servers.
In FQ2/95, Cheyenne acquired an HSM for UNIX product from NETstor, discussed
below. The NetWare and UNIX HSM products are used in combination with ARCserve
for NetWare and ARCserve/Open.
JETserve(TM)
- ------------
JETserve is a high-performance data disaster recovery solution that
provides fast, image-based backup and data restore services. Combined with RAID
fault tolerance, the product offers a high level of data protection for large
volumes of mission-critical data residing on NetWare superservers. The product
is based on technology purchased from NetFrame, discussed below. Cheyenne is
currently developing versions of JETserve for the NT and UNIX markets. The
JETserve product can be used in combination with ARCserve, as well as an
independent product.
ARCsolo(R)
- ----------
ARCsolo for DOS backs up and restores a workstation and, if necessary,
the file server. The user can also back up and restore other network
workstations by using any mapping facility. ARCsolo for Windows was introduced
in FQ2/94, with similar features as ARCsolo for DOS, but it has a "Windows"
front end. ARCsolo for OS/2 was introduced in late FY94. It provides reliable
backup and restore for OS/2 workstations and LAN servers. ARCsolo supplements
ARCserve and maintains the same tape format.
Network Security
- ----------------
InocuLAN(R) for NetWare
- -----------------------
InocuLAN protects a file server, networked PC's, and stand-alone PC's
from computer viruses. Shipments of the product started during June 1992.
Version 3.0 with a Windows front end began shipping in FQ1/95.
The server-based module of InocuLAN is an NLM. This NLM scans servers
for known viruses, completely in the background at user-defined intervals. Small
resident programs (TSR's) in workstations or stand-alone PCs provide immunity
and prevention from known and unknown viruses. The hard drive, floppy disk, and
other storage media are scanned for viruses by InocuLAN.
InocuLAN enforces security from the file server; a user cannot access
the network on an unprotected workstation. Since the user can distribute
InocuLAN software updates from the file server, the tedious process of updating
each workstation individually is eliminated. When InocuLAN detects a virus, it
alerts the user by network broadcast, MHS message, or pager. The user often may
be able to remove the virus from the infected file and restore that file to its
original state. Backup, restore, and notification of corruption of critical hard
disk area is also provided.

<PAGE>
InocuLAN(R) for NT
- ------------------
In FQ4/95, Cheyenne began to ship InocuLAN for Windows NT Version 1.x.
The product has been optimized for Windows NT and functions as a 32-bit
operating system service. The product offers anti-virus protection for all files
residing on Windows NT, as well as the PC's and MacIntosh workstation attached
to the network.
Network Management
- ------------------
Monitrix(R)
- -----------
Monitrix is an intuitive inventory, monitoring and documenting solution
for network management. Running NetWare 3.11, 3.12, and 4.x, Monitrix takes
advantage of the MSWindows 3.1 interface and provides the centralized tools
which enable effective LAN/WAN management.
Asset Management accurately tracks and accounts computer hardware and
software assets; supporting both networked nodes and isolated workstations
without a TSR. Monitrix automatically inventories NetWare file servers and DOS,
Window, OS/2, and MacIntosh workstations, offering analysis of current and
future computing needs. Administrators can easily construct network sensors to
identify vital system thresholds, including file server utilization, network
traffic, volume status and disk space, and buffer and memory usage. If any
threshold is crossed, specified users are notified through a Robust Alert
System. Monitrix also obtains and graphs IPX, SPC, System and CPU trends for
timely network analysis. All statistics can be documented via built-in or
customized reports.
Network Communications
- ----------------------
FAXserve(TM)
- ------------
FAXserve provides secure, easy-to-use, economical facsimile services
for a Novell network operating system. The user prepares a document at the
workstation in DOS, Windows, or E-Mail applications, and schedules where and
when it should be sent. FAXserve also lets the user create and send documents
with any CAS application. Shipments of this product started during the first
quarter of FY93. Shipments of the latest version, V3.0, commenced in FQ4/95.
FAXserve takes full advantage of the server's power. It eliminates the
need for a dedicated workstation or proprietary hardware. In addition, the fax
device can be shared by all users. FAXserve improves the quality of outgoing
faxes and sends documents electronically to the destination's fax device. With
FAXserve, the user can reduce communication costs by scheduling unattended fax
transmissions during less costly off-peak hours.
Bit Products
- ------------
This product line was acquired from Bit Software, Inc. and has been
significantly modified. It consists of stand-alone communications (voice, data,
fax) products with peer-to-peer networking capabilities aimed at the work group
computing market.
In connection with its adoption of a divisional structure (NetWare, NT
and Unix) described above, the FAXserve and Bit products, which previously
formed the product line for Cheyenne Communications, Inc., a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Cheyenne, were recently consolidated with Cheyenne's operations.
Channels of Distribution
- ------------------------
A. DISTRIBUTORS - Cheyenne's distributors are independent companies
------------
with multiple sales and stocking locations, which sell computer-related hardware
and software products, principally to value-added-resellers (VAR's). Cheyenne
provides sales and technical training to its distributors; such distributors
cooperatively advertise and promote Cheyenne's products. Cheyenne has entered
into non-exclusive agreements with each distributor. Most distributor agreements
have one year
6
<PAGE>
terms, may be canceled by either party upon 30-60 days' notice, provide for the
exchange of inventory by Cheyenne within 90 days of delivery and contain no
minimum purchase requirements by the distributor. Presently, Cheyenne's key
distributors and their territories include (listed alphabetically):

</TABLE>
In FY95, one distributor accounted for more than 10% of Cheyenne's
total sales. Such distributor accounted for 14.4% of revenues by purchasing
$18,393,000 of standard products from the Company.
Sales through distributors (excluding Japan) have increased in FY92,
FY93, FY94 and FY95 as follows:
Distribution Sales ($ Thousands)
Territory FY92 FY93 FY94 FY95
------------- -------- -------- -------- --------
North America $ 5,040 $ 15,785 $ 37,028 $ 41,089

-------- -------- -------- --------
$ 9,708 $ 34,465 $ 74,821 $ 94,123
======== ======== ======== ========
7
<PAGE>
The above increases were mainly due to:
a) An expanding LAN market;
b) Better recognition and acceptance of Cheyenne's products in the LAN
marketplace;
c) Increased advertising, training, sales and customer support;
d) A broader product line;
e) The increased availability of foreign language-translated products;
and
f) The addition of new distributors, particularly outside the United
States.
To support the growing sales in North America, the Company added 15
sales and marketing personnel in FY95. Cheyenne now has regional sales offices
in Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Seattle and San Diego and Ontario, Canada.
In Europe, sales and service centers were added in the U.K. and Germany
during FY93 to augment the Company's European presence and to support sales
efforts out of its French office. The number of full time European employees
grew from 40 to 76 in FY95.
The Company rapidly expanded sales in the rest of the world (ROW) by
adding new distributors during FY95. Sales and service centers were added in
FY95 in Australia, Brazil, Mexico, Singapore and Taiwan, in addition to Miami,
FL (the U.S. base for Cheyenne's ROW sales), added in FY94. Singapore now serves
as the Company's base for Asia (excluding Japan) and the Company has relocated
there a key manager from the United States to oversee expansion in this area.
Employees directly supporting ROW sales increased to 10 in FY95 from 2 in FY94
(the Company also has retained 2 sales consultants in ROW).
Although the Japanese networking market is still relatively small,
Cheyenne's management believes the potential is significant. In February 1993,
the Company formed a subsidiary in Tokyo (Cheyenne KK) which now has 21 full
time employees. Subsequent to June 30, 1995, Cheyenne repurchased the 40 shares
(5%) of capital stock of Cheyenne KK it did not own for an immaterial amount. In
FY95, Cheyenne entered into OEM agreements with Fujitsu LTD. and Mitsubishi and
a letter of intent with NEC in Japan. Sales in Japan have increased in FY92,
FY93, FY94 and FY95 as follows:
Japan Sales (In Thousands)
--------------------------
FY92 FY93 FY94 FY95
---- ---- ---- ----
$65 $725 $2,341 $7,828
B. ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT MANUFACTURERS (OEM) - Since Cheyenne's products
--------------------------------------
have the ability to add value and capability to hardware products such as
computers, tape drives, data storage devices, etc., a number of hardware
producers have bundled Cheyenne products with their products. As a consequence,
Cheyenne has entered into many OEM agreements with producers of computer and
computer-related equipment.
Management believes that its OEM agreements have made a significant
contribution to the growth in the Company's unit sales, because of the enhanced
market penetration and visibility that resulted from the investments in
advertising and promotion that OEM companies normally undertake. There are more
than 20 OEM agreements currently in force. No one OEM relationship produced more
than 5% of Cheyenne's revenues in FY95. Total OEM revenues, excluding those of
Bit, were $7.9 million or about 35% of total revenues in FY92, were $13.3
million or about 23% of total revenues in FY93, were $13.3 million or about 14%
of total revenues in FY94, and were $15.3 million or about 12% of total revenues
in FY95. During the last two years, as Cheyenne's ARCserve product has become
more readily available throughout the world via Distribution, the need for OEM
customers to bundle the product has lessened. Distributors now bundle ARCserve
with many different hardware devices and provide the value-added services to
customers that were previously the responsibility of the OEM. As a result of
this change in the marketplace, Distributor sales have grown more rapidly than
OEM sales.
8
<PAGE>
Below is a brief description of Cheyenne's major OEM agreements listed
alphabetically.
1) Compaq - In FY93, Cheyenne optimized ARCserve 4.0 for use with
------
Compaq's full family of System Pro/XL network servers. Shipments to Compaq
started in FQ4/93. This enhanced the relationship between Cheyenne and Compaq,
which began in FY92 when the two companies created a Technical Support Alliance.
In FQ1/95 Cheyenne announced an agreement with Compaq which provides
for the distribution of ARCserve 4.x and 5.x on Smartstart CD-ROM. During
FQ1/95, Compaq began shipping software CD's with each ProLiant and ProSignia
server. The Smartstart CD includes ARCserve 5.01 for NetWare, Windows Edition
and ARCserve 4.05 for NetWare, DOS Edition. This agreement represents the first
CD-ROM distribution of ARCserve and appears to mark the beginning of a general
change in the way the Company's software will be distributed throughout the
world. In FQ395, Compaq also began distribution of ARCserve for NT on SmartStart
CD-ROM.
2) Computer Associates - A technology and marketing partnership with
-------------------
Computer Associates ("CA") was established in FQ4/93 which enables CA to employ
Cheyenne's extensive LAN storage technology with all CA's OS/2 based network
backup and archiving systems. Cheyenne's agent technology provides common access
to a diverse list of network clients such as Windows, DOS, OS/2 and UNIX.
Cheyenne is providing CA-Unicenter with complete support for the storage media
that clients depend upon in networks of PCs. In FQ1/96, Cheyenne announced the
expansion of its relationship with CA by establishing a technology partnership
to integrate Cheyenne's multi-platform storage management software with the
CA-Unicenter environment. As a result, CA-Unicenter users will have access to a
wide variety of essential data and storage services including disaster recovery,
data protection, hierarchical storage management, and on-line database
backup/restore for the NetWare, Windows NT and UNIX operating system
environments. The final terms of the expanded relationship will be subject to a
definitive agreement, currently being negotiated.
3) Hewlett Packard - In FY95, HP's Bristol division and Cheyenne
---------------
entered into an agreement to bundle ARCserve with HP's SureStore tape drives as
HP's premier solution. HP offers ARCserve for NetWare, ARCsolo for Windows and
ARCsolo for OS/2 under the agreement. HP has offered Cheyenne products in
previous years under earlier agreements.
4) IBM - In FQ3/93, Cheyenne and EduQuest, the IBM Educational Systems
---
Company entered into an OEM relationship in which ARCserve is being bundled with
IBM's 4mm and 8mm DAT Tape drives. EduQuest specializes in the development and
marketing of technology solutions designed for elementary and secondary school
levels (K-12) which assist teachers and administrators in improving the quality
of education for America's children. During FY94, Cheyenne furthered its
relationship with IBM by becoming a Business Partner with the Personal Software
Products group although no significant revenues have resulted from this
relationship.
5) Intel - An agreement was signed during June 1991 jointly to develop
-----
a specialized LAN storage management system entitled Storage Express in which
Cheyenne's ARCserve technology is included. The product was introduced to the
marketplace during September 1992. A non-refundable advance against future
royalties was earned by Cheyenne. Additional royalties were earned during FY94
and FY95 when ongoing shipments of Storage Express exceeded those covered by the
original advance. Also, additional small non-recurring fees were earned by
Cheyenne as Intel incorporated Cheyenne's most current technology in its Storage
Express product.
C. MAJOR ACCOUNTS - During FY92, the Company initiated a Major Account
--------------
sales program in which Cheyenne sales employees directly call on LAN
administrators of Fortune 1000 companies. These potential customers can buy
Cheyenne product through local value-added resellers (VAR's), distributors or
directly from Cheyenne. Many large companies have found it convenient to deal
directly with Cheyenne on a "site license" basis in which the Company provides a
"golden master" disk that enables the customer to produce Cheyenne's software
product, as needed.
Revenues from these type of sales in FY94 were $1,534,000 and grew to
$3,108,000 in FY95.
9
<PAGE>
D. DIRECT SALES - The Company in FY95 expanded its work force focusing
------------
on direct sales of upgrades and other products. The Company also has contracted
with outside third parties to assist in this direct marketing and sales project.
This project, initiated with an outside company, began in FQ494. The project
increased sales of Cheyenne's secondary products, as well as upgrades and sales
directly to end-users. The costs associated with this project are relatively
high compared to revenues thus far.
FY95 Acquisitions
- -----------------
On December 19, 1994, the Company acquired certain assets and assumed
certain liabilities of NETstor, Inc. (NETstor), a developer of Hierarchical
Storage Management software products for the UNIX computer platform in the
network storage management market, for $1,150,000 of cash and $200,000 of
additional future contingent payments. The acquisition has been accounted for as
a purchase and the operating results of NETstor are included in the consolidated
statement of earnings from the date of acquisition. In connection with the
acquisition, the Company in FQ295 recorded a $547,000 expense for purchased
research and development and $94,000 of capitalized software, which is included
in other assets and is being amortized on a straight line basis over two years.
On March 30, 1995, the Company acquired the DataJET product line and
certain other assets and assumed certain liabilities of NetFRAME Systems, Inc.
(NetFRAME). DataJET is an image based, high performance software backup product
for NetWare file servers. Cheyenne made an $801,000 cash payment for DataJET and
will pay royalties to NetFRAME based on the Company's sales of products
utilizing the DataJET technology. The acquisition has been accounted for as a
purchase. In connection with the acquisition, the Company in FQ395 recorded a
$704,000 expense for purchased research and development.
The technological feasibility of the in-process technology related to
the NETstor and DataJET product acquisitions was not yet established at the
dates of acquisition and the technology has no alternative use.
Research & Development
- ----------------------
Cheyenne primarily develops its software products internally. However,
outside contractors and third party publishers are used for the development or
supply of software that provides certain aspects of some products.
Cheyenne's industry is characterized by rapid technological change,
resulting in continuing pressure for price/performance improvements in response
to advances in computer software and hardware technology. Cheyenne believes that
its future success will depend, in large part, on its ability to enhance and
develop its software products satisfactorily to meet specific market needs and
to maintain its technological leadership. As noted above, Cheyenne has
introduced products that function in many different operating system
environments. ARCserve(R) and related Cheyenne software products currently offer
users the ability to back up the data from Microsoft DOS, Windows and NT,
MacIntosh and certain UNIX workstations connected to a Novell NetWare network. A
substantial portion of Cheyenne revenues are derived from products that work in
the Novell NetWare network operating system environment. Novell faces increasing
competition from a number of sources in the network environment, including
Microsoft. Microsoft may enjoy certain competitive advantages over Novell, which
may enable Microsoft to compete effectively against Novell in the market for
network operating systems. As a result, sales of Cheyenne products into the
Novell network marketplace may be affected.
In FY95, Cheyenne began to ship a version of ARCserve(R) that operates
natively in the Microsoft NT environment, which offers users the ability to back
up data from Microsoft NT servers and workstations not connected to a Novell
NetWare network. Some of Cheyenne's competitors also offer native Microsoft NT
backup. The market for Microsoft NT backup products is in the early stages of
development and it is too soon to predict whether Cheyenne will obtain market
share in the NT market similar to the Company's market share in the NetWare
market. Cheyenne is also developing anti-virus and communications software
products for the NT marketplace. Failure to succeed in the NT market could have
a material adverse affect on Cheyenne's operating results, especially if NT
becomes the dominant network operating system.
10
<PAGE>
Cheyenne has developed hierarchical storage management products for the
NetWare and UNIX markets. Cheyenne also continues to develop backup products
directed at the UNIX operating system environment, some of which natively
operate in those environments. UNIX operating systems are now increasingly
competitive with Novell NetWare and Microsoft NT operating systems. Cheyenne's
competitive position in these markets is presently insignificant, but is
expected by the Company to improve during the next few years.
There can be no assurance that Cheyenne's efforts to develop Microsoft
NT, additional UNIX and other products will be technologically successful, that
any resulting products will achieve market acceptance or that Cheyenne will
elect to develop software products for the operating environments that
ultimately are accepted by the marketplace. The failure to do so may have a
materially adverse affect on the Company.
The computer software industry has experienced delays in its product
development and 'debugging' efforts, and Cheyenne has experienced such delays
and could experience additional delays in the future. Significant delays in
developing, completing or shipping new or enhanced products and/or the inability
of such products to perform as expected could adversely affect Cheyenne in a
number of ways, including a loss of competitiveness of Cheyenne's products,
negative publicity and delayed purchasing decisions, and could, therefore,
adversely affect Cheyenne's financial results. Furthermore, it can be expected
that as products become more complex, development cycles will become longer and
more expensive.
Cheyenne intends to continue the use of strategic acquisitions to
provide certain technology for its overall product strategy. Cheyenne completed
two acquisitions during FY95 and anticipates the acquisition of other companies
and products in the future. In addition to the significant business risks
associated with acquisitions, which include the failure to combine the companies
in an efficient and timely manner, the failure to coordinate research and
development and sales efforts, the failure to retain key personnel and the
failure to integrate the acquired products into Cheyenne's product mix, Cheyenne
may incur significant acquisition expenses for legal, accounting and financial
advisory services and other costs related to the combination of the companies.
These costs, when added to the consideration paid to the Sellers, may have a
significant adverse impact on Cheyenne's profitability and financial resources.
The R&D staff at the end of FY95 increased to 130 engineers,
programmers and documentation specialists from 94 at the end of FY94. This group
is responsible for developing new software products and enhancing, documenting
and supporting existing software products. In addition, a group of 55
engineers/testers are employed in testing and quality control of Cheyenne
software products versus 32 last year.
Technical Support
- -----------------
The technical and customer support staff that is responsible for
training OEM customers, distributors, resellers and end-users, as well as
responding to all technical questions from customers throughout the world, now
numbers 136 employees versus 80 last year. The expenses associated with
technical support were reclassified at the end of FY95 from Research and
Development to cost of goods sold. Prior periods have been restated.
Sales and Marketing
- -------------------
Fluctuations in Purchasing Patterns
- -----------------------------------
Changes in purchasing patterns of one or more of Cheyenne's major
customers could result in material fluctuations in quarterly operating results.
Cheyenne's major customers are large, sophisticated businesses which make their
own independent purchasing decisions. The timing of new product announcements
and introductions by Cheyenne could also have an impact on the purchasing
patterns of Cheyenne's major customers. Typically, the personal computer
industry experiences some seasonal variations in demand, with weaker sales in
the summer months (FQ1) because of customers' vacations and planned shutdowns.
This seasonality is more pronounced in Europe.
11
<PAGE>
Quarterly results are difficult to predict until the end of each
quarter and may fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter. Substantially
all of Cheyenne's revenue in each quarter results from orders booked in that
quarter because lead times for delivery of Cheyenne's products are typically
very short. The difficulty in predicting quarterly revenues is also increased by
the fact that a high percentage of Cheyenne's revenues are earned in the third
month of each fiscal quarter and tend to be concentrated in the latter half of
that month.
Significant Customers
- ---------------------
One distributor accounted for greater than 10% of the Company's
revenues in FY95 (14%), FY94 (17%) and FY93 (14%). At June 30, 1995, this
customer accounted for 26% of Cheyenne's outstanding net trade accounts
receivable. The loss of this customer, or any of the other major distributors of
Cheyenne's products or their failure to pay for products purchased, could have a
material adverse affect on Cheyenne's operating results.
Returns and Exchanges; Price Protection
- ---------------------------------------
Like other manufacturers of computer software and hardware products,
Cheyenne is exposed to the risk of product returns and exchanges from its
distributors. Cheyenne's exchange policy generally allows its distributors,
subject to certain limitations, to exchange purchased products. Although certain
major distributors and OEM's have return rights, most of Cheyenne's contracts
provide for no or only limited return rights.
The risk of product returns and exchanges may increase if the demand
for new products introduced by Cheyenne is lower than Cheyenne anticipates at
the time of introduction. Should any new product experience a high rate of bugs
or performance difficulties, Cheyenne could experience product returns and
exchanges, unexpected warranty expenses and lower than expected revenues in a
particular quarter.
Individual end users may return products to Cheyenne through dealers
and distributors within 90 days from the date of purchase. Cheyenne offers a 30
day money back guarantee for certain direct purchases from Cheyenne by
individual end users. Such returns have historically been minimal.
Although Cheyenne believes that it provides an adequate allowance for
sales returns and exchanges in its financial statements, there can be no
assurance that actual sales returns and exchanges in the future will not exceed
Cheyenne's allowance. Product returns or exchanges materially in excess of
recorded allowances could result in a material adverse affect on operating
results. In FY95, Cheyenne increased the allowance for sales returns and
exchanges due to, among other things, new product releases and product upgrades
in FY95.
Cheyenne is also exposed to the impact on its distributors of list
price reductions by Cheyenne of its products. As with many other suppliers,
Cheyenne provides many of its distributors with some price protection in the
event that Cheyenne reduces the list price of its products. Distributors are
usually offered some credit for the impact of a list price reduction on the
expected revenue from Cheyenne's products in the distributors' inventories at
the time of the price reduction. Through June 30, 1995, there have been no price
reductions on Cheyenne products and therefore no credits have been issued for
list price reductions. However, there can be no assurance that in the future
there will not be credits for price protection.
New Channels
- ------------
As noted above, a substantial portion of Cheyenne's revenues are
derived from products that function in a Novell NetWare operating environment.
Cheyenne has introduced products that work in different operating environments,
such as Microsoft NT, UNIX and MacIntosh. Some of these type products are not
sold in Cheyenne's traditional channel of distribution. The success of these
products will therefore in part be determined by Cheyenne's ability to develop
and maintain relationships with new channels of distribution. There can be no
assurance that Cheyenne will be able to develop these relationships or that such
relationships, if developed, will be successful.
12
<PAGE>
Cheyenne at the end of FY95 had 205 full time employees devoted to its
worldwide sales and marketing activities versus 153 people last year. In
addition, four of the Company's senior executives spend a significant portion of
their time supporting this activity.
Cheyenne participated in more than 200 trade shows and similar events
around the world in FY95 and advertised in many of the industry trade journals.
New brochures, new product packaging designs and direct mail advertising
programs were also developed and utilized to support the sales campaigns during
FY95.
Competition
- -----------
Cheyenne operates in a highly competitive market for computer software
products. The success of a product depends upon two factors: (i) the fundamental
quality of the product, i.e., whether it carries out the functions that the user
expects, smoothly and efficiently; and (ii) the strength of the company
marketing and supporting the product. Management is confident that Cheyenne
produces high quality products, as demonstrated by the fact that the products
which have come to market continue to be favorably reviewed by trade
publications and to achieve growing acceptance by major OEM accounts,
distributors and end-users.
The market for network backup computer software is becoming more
competitive. This competition is likely to intensify as current competitors
expand their product lines and/or enter into relationships with large companies
and new companies enter the market. While the Company believes its products are
still technologically superior to the competition, many competitors now offer
features once only offered by Cheyenne and offer some features not offered by
Cheyenne. Novell, Microsoft, IBM and other network operating systems vendors may
also offer increased backup functionality in future versions of their respective
products. In such event, the market for Cheyenne's ARCserve(R) could be
materially adversely impacted.
While discounts are typically granted from the suggested retail price
for most computer software, price competition has not been a major factor to
date in the high performance end of the network backup software business in
which Cheyenne primarily competes, although price competition in that segment of
the market has increased. Significant price competition currently exists in the
low performance sector of that market. In FY94, Cheyenne introduced an OEM
network backup product into the low performance sector. The introduction of this
product into the low performance sector may have adversely affected sales of
Cheyenne's high performance product. Cheyenne believes that price competition,
with its attendant reduced profit margins, may also emerge as a more significant
factor in the high performance sector. Some of Cheyenne's competitors also have
significantly greater financial resources, research and development, marketing
resources and customer support organizations than Cheyenne.
The competitors of Cheyenne include computer companies which develop
software for use with their own equipment and software development companies
such as Novell, Inc., Computer Associates International, Inc., IBM, Palindrome,
a subsidiary of Seagate Corporation, Sterling Software, Symantec Corporation,
Tecmar, EMC Corp., Microsoft Corp., Arcada Software, a subsidiary of Connor
Peripherals, Intel, Legato Systems, Inc. and other software developers. Some of
these competitors license and distribute Cheyenne technology.
Proprietary Information, Patents and Trademarks
- -----------------------------------------------
Cheyenne currently relies on copyright, trade secret and trademark law,
as well as provisions in its license, distribution and other agreements in order
to protect its intellectual property rights. Cheyenne has registered certain
patents in the United States and has other United States patents pending and
intends to file further patent applications. No assurance can be given that any
Cheyenne patent will provide protection for Cheyenne's competitive position or
that the patents pending will be issued or, if issued, will provide protection
for Cheyenne's competitive position. Although Cheyenne intends to protect patent
rights vigorously, there can be no assurance that these measures will be
successful. Additionally, no assurance can be given that the claims on any
patents held by Cheyenne will be sufficiently broad to protect Cheyenne's
technology.
In addition, no assurance can be given that any patents issued to
Cheyenne will not be challenged, invalidated or circumvented or that the rights
granted thereunder will provide competitive advantages to Cheyenne. The loss of
patent protection
13
<PAGE>
on Cheyenne's technology or the circumvention of its patent protection by
competitors could have a material adverse effect on Cheyenne's ability to
compete successfully in its business.
The software industry is characterized by frequent litigation regarding
copyright, patent and other intellectual property rights. Cheyenne believes that
its products, trademarks and other proprietary rights do not infringe on the
proprietary rights of third parties. There can, however, be no assurance that
third parties will not assert claims against Cheyenne with respect to existing
or future products or that licenses will be available on reasonable terms, or at
all, with respect to any third party technology. Cheyenne receives such claims
from time to time. In the event of litigation to determine the validity of any
third party claims, such litigation could result in significant expense to
Cheyenne and divert the efforts of Cheyenne's technical and management
personnel, whether or not such litigation is determined in favor of Cheyenne.
In the event of an adverse result in any such litigation, Cheyenne
could be required to expend significant resources to develop non-infringing
technology or to obtain licenses to the technology which is the subject of the
litigation. There can be no assurance that Cheyenne would be successful in such
development or that any such licenses would be available. In addition, the laws
of certain countries in which Cheyenne's products are or may be developed,
manufactured or sold may not protect Cheyenne's products and intellectual
property rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States.
As set forth and further disclosed in Item 3 (Legal Proceedings),
Cheyenne (along with some of its competitors) is the subject of a patent
litigation suit.
Executive officers and employees have agreed to assign to Cheyenne
certain technical and other information and patent rights, if any, acquired by
them during their employment by Cheyenne. Executive officers and employees have
also agreed not to use or disclose any confidential information for a period of
at least one year following the termination of their employment.
Cheyenne applied for and received Federal Trademark Registrations for
Cheyenne(R) in 1986, for ARCserve(R) and Monitrix(R) in FY90, for InocuLAN(R) in
FY94 and for ARCsolo(R) in FY95. Certain other Cheyenne marks have been
registered or applied for registration in the United States and other countries.
Employees
- ---------
As of June 30, 1995, Cheyenne employed 621 persons, consisting of 15 in
production, shipping and receiving, 130 engineers, programmers and documentation
specialists, 55 engineers/testers responsible for quality assurance, 136
employees providing technical and customer support, 205 in Sales and Marketing
(including Europe), 59 in administration and accounting and 21 full time
employees at Cheyenne KK in Tokyo. Last year, the Company employed a total of
430 persons on a worldwide basis. None of Cheyenne's employees are represented
by a labor union. Cheyenne considers its relations with its employees to be
satisfactory.
Past Relationships
- ------------------
Cheyenne entered into the microcomputer distribution business in
July 1987 via the acquisition of F.A. Computer Technologies, Inc. which then
sold shares to the public in 1988 and then merged with Gates Distributing,
Inc., forming Gates/FA Distributing, Inc. ("Gates/FA").
In a secondary offering, Cheyenne sold 801,710 common shares of
Gates/FA on June 17, 1992. The Company sold an additional 100,000 common shares
of Gates/FA on February 3, 1993. At that time, Cheyenne's ownership of Gates/FA
was reduced from 49% to 21.35% of the outstanding shares of common stock of
Gates/FA. Thereafter, Cheyenne reflected its investment in Gates/FA in its
consolidated financial statements using the equity method of accounting. On
August 29, 1994, Cheyenne exchanged its remaining 1,348,290 shares of Gates/FA
common stock for 798,996 common shares of Arrow Electronics, Inc. ("Arrow"), a
public company. In FY95, the contribution to net income from the Gates/FA equity
ownership was therefore only approximately 0.2% of net income.
14
<PAGE>
The Arrow transaction qualified as a tax-free exchange and resulted in
a pre-tax gain of $21,232,000 for financial reporting purposes. After the
transaction, Cheyenne owned approximately 2% of Arrow's outstanding common
stock. The Company therefore accounted for its investment in Arrow common stock
under the cost method of accounting. In FY95, Cheyenne sold its 798,996 shares
of Arrow common stock for $30,324,000, which resulted in a net loss of $11,000.
Item 2 Properties
- ----------------------
The main offices of Cheyenne were moved from 55 Bryant Avenue, Roslyn,
New York to 3 Expressway Plaza, Roslyn Heights, New York during FY93. Due to the
Company's rapid expansion, the original lease at 3 Expressway Plaza for 33,000
square feet has been expanded to 44,000 square feet. The basis of the new master
lease for 3 Expressway Plaza started January 1, 1993. As of June 30, 1994, the
average annual rental expense for the remaining four and a half year term is
approximately $1,049,000 per year, exclusive of electricity, certain real estate
tax escalations and other related costs.
In FY95, Cheyenne entered into a lease for a building located at 2000
Marcus Avenue, Lakes Success, New York. The facility is 100,000 square feet. The
lease commenced on June 1, 1995 and the average annual rental expense for the
seven year term is $1,316,000 per year, exclusive of electricity, certain real
estate taxes, escalations and other related costs.
The Company leases additional facilities, including facilities in
Atlanta, Chicago, Austin, Dallas, Miami, Seattle, San Diego, Fremont,
Minneapolis, and Canada, France, Germany, the United Kingdom, Japan, Brazil,
Mexico, Taiwan and Singapore.
Item 3 Legal Proceedings
- ----------------------------
Neither Cheyenne nor any of its subsidiaries is a party to any material
pending legal proceedings, other than routine litigation incidental to the
business, and other than as set forth below:
1) Coldata, Incorporated v. Cheyenne Software, Inc.
------------------------------------------------
An action was commenced in July 1991, in the Supreme Court of the State
of New York, County of Nassau, entitled "Coldata, Incorporated v. Cheyenne
Software, Inc." Coldata, Incorporated ("Coldata") alleged, among other things,
that Cheyenne failed to complete the detailed design specifications and
implementation schedule for the development of a particular computer program
(called "CAAMS"), and therefore, breached the agreement between the parties.
Coldata also alleged that Cheyenne breached its fiduciary duties to Coldata by
failing to develop and market CAAMS and by its participation in other unrelated
software projects to the exclusion of Coldata.
On February 17, 1995, the parties settled this lawsuit and Cheyenne, in
connection therewith, paid Coldata $170,000. Neither party admitted any
liability in connection with the settlement.
2) In re Cheyenne Software, Inc. Securities Litigation
---------------------------------------------------
Master File No. 94 Civ. 2771 (TCP)
On or about June 11, 1994, a securities fraud class action complaint,
entitled Bell v. Cheyenne Software, Inc., et al., was filed in the United States
---------------------------------------
District Court for the Eastern District of New York. The lawsuit names as
defendants the Company and several of its officers and directors. In the
following weeks, several other similar lawsuits were filed in the Eastern
District of New York. The actions allege securities fraud claims under Sections
10(b) and 20 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and seek compensatory
damages on behalf of all the shareholders who purchased shares between
approximately January 24, 1994 and approximately June 17, 1994, as well as
attorneys' fees and costs. The gravamen of the actions is that the Company and
the individual defendants made misrepresentations and omissions to the public,
which caused the Company's stock to be artificially inflated. The suits rely on
what is known as the "fraud on the market" theory of liability.
On July 20, 1994, the Court ordered that all of the actions be
consolidated under the caption of In re Cheyenne Software, Inc. Securities
----------------------------------------
Litigation. On March 8, 1995, plaintiffs filed an Amended Complaint. On
- ----------
March 23, 1995, plaintiffs served a Motion
15
<PAGE>
for Class Certification. The Company has contested certain aspects of that
Motion, and the Court has yet to issue a ruling. On April 11, 1995, the Company
served a Motion to Dismiss certain of the claims alleged in the Amended
Complaint. The Motion to Dismiss is expected to be heard in Fall, 1995.
The defendants deny any and all liability and intend to vigorously defend
against the claims.
3) Rand v. Oxenhorn, et al.
------------------------
Delaware Chancery Court (New Castle County) No. 13583
On or about June 27, 1994, a shareholder derivative complaint, entitled
Rand v. Oxenhorn, et al., was filed in the Court of Chancery for the State of
- ------------------------
Delaware in and for New Castle County. The lawsuit, purportedly filed
derivatively on behalf of the Company, names as defendants eleven of its present
or former officers and directors. The complaint's factual allegations are
similar to those of In re Cheyenne Software, Inc. Securities Litigation
---------------------------------------------------
described above. However, instead of securities fraud claims, the action alleges
that the defendants breached their fiduciary obligations to the Company. The
suit seeks a variety of compensatory damages as well as attorneys fees.
On August 19, 1994, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss on the
grounds that (1) the plaintiff failed to comply with the pleading and demand
requirements of a derivative action and (2) the pleadings fail to state a claim
upon which relief may be granted. On October 14, 1994, and before defendants'
motion to dismiss was ruled on, an amended complaint was filed only naming as
defendants six of Cheyenne's officers or directors. Cheyenne filed a motion to
dismiss the Amended Complaint on the same grounds listed above on February 16,
1995.
The defendants deny any and all liability and intend to vigorously defend
against the claims.
4) SEC Formal Private Investigation
--------------------------------
On June 28, 1994, the SEC commenced an informal inquiry into Cheyenne.
On or about April 14, 1995, the SEC advised the Company that it had issued a
Formal Order of Private Investigation of the Company. The Private Investigation
is a continuation of the informal inquiry. The Formal Order, among other things,
enables the SEC to utilize its subpoena powers to obtain relevant information
from third parties as well as the Company. The Private Investigation relates to
possible violations of federal securities laws. The Company has been cooperating
and will continue to cooperate fully with the SEC.
5) JWANCO, Inc., et al. v. Cheyenne Software, Inc. et al.
------------------------------------------------------
California Superior Court (County of Alameda) No. H-183331-1
On or about May 2, 1995, plaintiffs JWANCO, Inc. (formerly known as Bit
Software, Inc.), Jonathan Wan, Yau Ki Chuck, Norman Chan, David Law and David
Wong filed an action in the Superior Court of California in and for the County
of Alameda against the Company, Cheyenne Communications, Inc., a wholly owned
subsidiary of the Company, and several of its officers, directors and employees.
The action alleges breach of contract, fraud, wrongful termination, negligent
infliction of emotional distress, and a number of other related torts. The
essence of the allegations is that the defendants breached agreements and
defrauded JWANCO, Inc., and the individual plaintiffs in connection with the
Company's acquisition of certain assets and assumption of certain liabilities of
Bit Software, Inc. on May 19, 1994. These allegations are substantially similar
to those In re Cheyenne Software, Inc. Securities Litigation described above. In
---------------------------------------------------
addition, the Complaint alleges, on behalf of plaintiff Jonathan Wan only,
wrongful termination and a variety of other causes of action relating to the
employment and termination of the employment of Jonathan Wan by Cheyenne
Communications. The defendants have removed the action to the United States
District Court, and have moved to transfer it to New York. Management of the
Company, based on advice of outside legal counsel, does not believe that the
ultimate resolution of this lawsuit will have a material adverse affect on the
financial position or results of operations of the Company.
Although no answer has yet been filed, the defendants deny any and all
liability and intend to vigorously defend against the claims.
16
<PAGE>
6) PCPC v. Cheyenne Software, Inc.
-------------------------------
United States District Court (District of Delaware) Case No.
On May 19, 1995, Personal Computer Peripherals Corporation ("PCPC")
filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court for the District of
Delaware, Case No. 95-301(SLR), naming Cheyenne, Legato Systems, Inc., Arcada
Software, Artisoft, Palindrome (a subsidiary of Seagate) and Symantec as
defendants. PCPC alleges infringement of patent No. 5,135,065, entitled "Backup
Computer Program for Networks" issued to PCPC on July 21, 1992. PCPC is seeking
an injunction against infringement of its patent, treble damages, attorneys'
fees and other damages. On July 10, 1995, Cheyenne answered the complaint and
denied any and all liability. Cheyenne intends to vigorously defend against the
claims. Management of the Company, based on advice of outside legal counsel,
does not believe that the ultimate resolution of this lawsuit will have a
material adverse affect on the financial position or results of operations of
the Company.
Item 4 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

PART II
-------
Item 5 Market for Registrant's Common Stock and Related Matters
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
(a) Commencing March 20, 1990, the Registrant's common stock was traded
on the American Stock Exchange (the "AMEX") under the symbol of "CYE". From July
7, 1986, through the opening of business on March 28, 1994, the common stock was
listed on the Pacific Stock Exchange under the symbol "CYE". From October 3,
1985 through March 20, 1990, the common stock was quoted on the National
Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation System (NASDAQ) under the
symbol "CHEY".
The following table sets forth the high and low sales prices for the
period July 1, 1993 through June 30, 1995, as reported by the AMEX. The high and
low sales prices for the period July 1, 1993 through June 30, 1995 have been
adjusted to reflect the 1994 Stock Split paid on March 29, 1994 (as described
below).
QUARTER ENDED HIGH LOW
------------- ---- ---
September 30, 1993 $ 26.83 $ 19.25
December 31, 1993 25.58 17.67
March 31, 1994 30.33 16.92
June 30, 1994 28.38 7.00
September 30, 1994 $ 13.38 $ 7.75
December 31, 1994 13.88 9.13
March 31, 1995 17.75 13.25
June 30, 1995 20.00 12.38
At a meeting held on February 10, 1994 (the "1994 Stock Split") and a
meeting held on February 23, 1993 (the "1993 Stock Split"), the Board of
Directors of Cheyenne declared separate three-for two stock splits payable in
the form of 50% stock dividends with respect to the issued and outstanding
shares of common stock. The 1994 Stock Split was paid on March 29, 1994 to
stockholders of record at the close of business on March 1, 1994 and the 1993
Stock Split was paid on April 8, 1993 to stockholders of record at the close of
business on March 12, 1993.
No fractional shares were distributed in connection with either stock
split. Each stockholder of record whose total number of shares was not exactly
divisible by two, received cash in lieu of fractional shares. The cash was in an
amount equal to one-half of the fair market value of a share of common stock
after giving effect to the stock split. Such market value was determined on the
basis of 66-2/3% of the closing price of Cheyenne's Common Stock reported for
the American Stock Exchange composite transactions on each record date.
(b) As of September 20, 1995, the number of holders of record of the
Company was 877.
(c) Cheyenne has never paid a cash dividend on its common stock. The
declaration and payment of future cash dividends by Cheyenne will be determined
by the Board of Directors in light of conditions then existing, including
Cheyenne's earnings, financial condition, capital requirements, and other
circumstances. It is the present policy of Cheyenne's Board of Directors to
retain cash and any earnings for the operation and expansion of the Company and,
therefore, it is not anticipated that cash dividends will be paid on its common
stock in the foreseeable future even if legally permissible.
(d) On February 23, 1995, Cheyenne announced that the Board of
Directors had authorized management to purchase up to 4,000,000 shares of the
Company's outstanding common stock. Purchases are dictated by overall financial
and market conditions and other factors affecting the operations of the Company.
18
<PAGE>
During FY95, Cheyenne purchased 2,035,000 shares of its common
stock for approximately $30,458,000, at prices ranging from approximately $13.50
to $17.25 per share.

("Bit") in May, 1994 for 140,590 shares of common stock was
accounted for under the pooling of interests method and,
accordingly, prior year financial data have been restated to
include Bit's financial data.
(3) FY95 net income per share includes a one-time gain, net of
income taxes, of $.28 per share in connection with the
Company's exchange of 1,348,290 shares of Gates/FA common
stock for 798,996 shares of Arrow Electronics common stock.

Item 7 Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Results of Operations
---------------------
Despite lower than expected sales in FQ195, sales for FY95 increased
31%. Operating income as a percentage of sales in FY95 (30%) fell from FY94
(46%). This decrease resulted from an increase in operating expenses of 68% over
the same time period, primarily consisting of increased expenditures for
research and development and selling and marketing. The Company views these
expenditures as strategic investments necessary to expand product offerings and
to increase market acceptance and penetration of its products.
Such investments are further necessitated by increased competition.
Cheyenne has several key competitors, many of which compete with Cheyenne only
in specific segments of the market for network essentials. Cheyenne competes
across many segments of the network data storage management market, as well as
certain segments of the network security and network communications markets.
Development of these markets requires significant resources. The Company
believes these investments in broader market segments will result in long term
competitive advantages and establish Cheyenne as a leader in this overall market
and further establish Cheyenne as the leader in the enterprise network backup
market.
One of the greatest challenges for Cheyenne is to respond quickly and
effectively to market changes. The expected significant growth of Microsoft
NT network operating systems will affect the market for Cheyenne's products.
The Company has proven itself as the leader in the NetWare network operating
systems backup market. The Company now intends to be a major factor in the NT
market and also to increase its presence in the UNIX markets as well as
maintaining its leadership position in the NetWare market.
An important change in the software industry also continues. Presently,
almost all software products are delivered in shrink-wrapped packages. New
techniques, such as electronic distribution (bulletin boards) and CD-ROM are
being increasingly considered as the mechanism to deliver software products to
the end-user. It is possible that, during this potential transition phase,
software revenues may be negatively affected on a short-term basis. Cheyenne
experienced such a negative affect on revenues in the first quarter of FY95 when
one of its key OEM customers began distribution of Cheyenne and other software
products on CD-ROM. Other customers are considering such methods which could
create further short-term fluctuations in revenue.
Market changes create opportunity for the Company. It also creates
increased volatility as success is dictated by successful development and market
acceptance of new products and responding to changes in distribution mechanisms.
Cheyenne is confident that its strong technology and market acceptance will
result in continued long term success.

As shown, North America Distribution sales increased 11% in FY95,
European Distribution sales increased 35%, Rest of World Distribution sales
increased 86% (from a low base) and sales to Japan grew 234% (from a low base).
The significant increase in distribution sales is attributed to an expanding LAN
market, better recognition and acceptance of Cheyenne products in the LAN
marketplace, a broader product line, the addition of new distributors,
particularly international distributors, and the increased availability of
foreign language-translated products. OEM sales increased 15% in FY95, but
decreased as a percentage of consolidated sales to 12.0% in FY95 from 13.6% in
FY94. Cheyenne distributors around the world are now offering the Company's
software products in configurations similar to, and competitive with, those
offered by the OEM channel. This trend resulted in increased sales to Cheyenne
distributors at the expense of OEM sales. Major Account sales were up 103%, as a
result of increased penetration into Fortune 1000 companies. The Company
believes that its salespersons also initiated significant sales to Major Account
customers that were booked and handled by Cheyenne resellers and distributors
and thus were classified as Distribution sales.
Please Refer to Table 1
- -----------------------
Gross Profit
- ------------
Gross profit represents revenues less cost of sales. In FY95, technical
support costs were reflected in cost of sales rather than Research & Development
as in previous periods. All past periods have been restated to make them
comparable with FY95. Cost of sales consists primarily of technical support
costs, production costs, manuals, packaging, order fulfillment, product costs,
shipping costs and royalties paid (when applicable) to third parties under
licensing agreements. The gross profit margin decreased to 83.0% in FY95 from
88.1% in FY94, primarily due to a significant increase in technical support
costs. Excluding technical support costs, FY95 versus FY94 gross margins would
have been 90.3% versus 91.0%.
22
<PAGE>
Purchased Research and Development
- ----------------------------------
In connection with the acquisition of NETstor, Inc., the Company
recorded a $547,000 expense for purchased research and development in FQ295. In
connection with the acquisition of the DataJET product line from NetFRAME
Systems, Inc., the Company recorded a $704,000 expense for purchased research
and development in FQ395. The technological feasibility of the in-process
technology was not yet established at the dates of acquisition and the
technology had no alternative use.
Research & Development ("R&D")
- ------------------------------
R&D expenses increased 69% in FY95 versus FY94. Since sales only
increased 31%, R&D as a percentage of sales increased from 9.2% in FY94 to 11.9%
in FY95. The increase was due to the Company's significantly broader product
line that must be further developed and supported by Cheyenne's engineering and
technical personnel. Therefore, additional engineers were added during FY95. The
percentage increase in R&D was much greater than the percentage sales increase
since developing new and enhancing existing products has become an increasingly
more sophisticated and complicated task, requiring even higher manpower levels.
The Company believes this investment in a large R&D staff will provide a
long-term competitive advantage.
Selling and Marketing Expenses
- ------------------------------
Selling expenses increased 74% in FY95 over FY94 and increased as a
percentage of sales to 32.2% from 24.3%. The increase was mainly due to
additional sales and marketing personnel, particularly in Europe, where less
sales support from the Company's traditional distributors is anticipated as new
distributors enter this market competing more on price and less on service.
Also, expanded marketing programs and promotions and increased expenditures on
direct sales to end-users of upgrades, etc. were factors in the increase.
General and Administrative Expenses (G&A)
- -----------------------------------------
G&A expenses include the costs of the finance department, human
resources, legal, audit, reception, office and facilities management, rent,
utilities, employee benefits, depreciation and amortization, etc. G&A expenses
increased 34% in FY95 over FY94, and slightly increased as a percentage of sales
to 8.4% from 8.3%. The main factor was increases in legal fees arising from the
class action securities litigation and the SEC Formal Private Investigation.
Higher depreciation costs were also incurred, due to increases in investments
in capital equipment and facilities throughout the world. The cost of an
expanded intellectual property protection program and start-up costs in new
countries were also factors in increased G&A expenses.
Interest Income
- ---------------
Interest income for the year increased to $3,437,000 up from $1,668,000
in FY94. The gain was due to increased cash, cash equivalents and investment
balances, most of which was generated from operations, and the exercise of stock
options. Cash, cash equivalents and investments grew to $71,435,000 at June 30,
1995 from $69,431,000 at the end of FY94. The Company employs the services of
three outside fixed income investment managers to manage its portfolio of mainly
tax exempt bonds.
23
<PAGE>
Other Gains
- -----------
In connection with its sale of Gates F/A shares, Cheyenne realized
a pre-tax gain of $21,232,000 in FQ195 for financial reporting purposes.
Provision for Income Taxes
- --------------------------
The provision for income taxes for FY95 was $24,255,000 or 38.6% of
pretax income. Excluding the Federal and State increases in the rate due to
the excess tax gain on the sale of Gates/FA shares, the effective income tax
rate for FY95 would have been approximately 34%. Such rate is lower than the
combined Federal and State statutory rate due mainly to the benefits from the
Company's Foreign Sales Corp. (FSC), tax exempt investment income and R&D tax
credits.
Equity in Earnings of Gates/FA
- ------------------------------
The equity in earnings of Gates/FA in FY95 was $85,000 versus
$1,572,000 in FY94, because in FQ195, Cheyenne exchanged its 1,348,290 shares of
Gates/FA common stock for 798,996 shares of Arrow common stock. Prior to its
sale of the Arrow shares, Cheyenne accounted for its Arrow investment under the
cost method of accounting.
Per Share Data
- --------------
The net income per share in FY95 was $0.97 per share, including a one
time net gain, net of income taxes, of 26 cents per share, as a result of the
exchange of Gates/FA shares for Arrow shares and the write-off of purchased R &
D related to the two acquisitions in FY95, versus $0.82 per share in FY94. The
weighted average number of common shares and equivalents outstanding decreased
to 39,617,000 shares versus 39,877,000 shares last year. The number of shares
decreased mainly due to the share repurchase program discussed above, although
this was offset by an increase in shares due to stock option exercises, new
stock option grants and the increase in share price in FY95.
Year Ended June 30, 1994 Compared to Year Ended June 30, 1993*
- --------------------------------------------------------------
Please refer to Table 1 and Table 2.
Revenues
- --------
Cheyenne's revenues increased 72% in FY94 over FY93 to $97,737,000 from
$56,694,000. As previously mentioned, the Company's results have been restated
for the acquisition in May, 1994 of Bit Software, Inc. accounted for as a
pooling of interests. The increase in revenues in FY94 was primarily for the
same reasons noted for FY95.
Gross Profit
- ------------
After reclassification of technical support expenses to cost of sales
in FY94 and FY93, the gross profit margin increased to 88.1% in FY94 from 87.9%
in FY93.
Research & Development
- ----------------------
After reclassification of technical support expenses to cost of sales
in FY94 and FY93, R&D expenses increased 87% in FY94 versus FY93. Since sales
only increased 72%, R&D as a percentage of sales increased from 8.5% in FY93 to
9.1% in FY94. The increase was due to the Company's significantly broader
product line that must be further developed and supported by Cheyenne's
engineering and technical personnel. Therefore, additional engineers were added
during FY94. The percentage increase in R&D and technical personnel was much
greater than the percentage sales increase since developing new and enhancing
existing products has become an increasingly more sophisticated and complicated
task, requiring even higher manpower levels.
Selling and Marketing Expenses
- ------------------------------
Selling expenses increased 140% in FY94 over FY93 and increased as a
percentage of sales to 24.3% from 17.4%. The increase was mainly due to
additional sales and marketing personnel.
24
<PAGE>
General and Administrative Expenses (G&A)
- -----------------------------------------
G&A expenses increased 21% in FY94 over FY93, but decreased as a
percentage of sales to 8.2% from 11.7%. The main reason for the decrease was
that many G&A expense items such as rent, telephone and utilities which were
fully charged to G&A in past years, were also allocated to R&D and Selling and
Marketing expenses in FY94 due to the increased significance of these functions.
If this expense allocation change was also made to FY93 amounts, the G&A
percentage for FY93 would have been similar to the percentage for FY94. Legal
and accounting expenses relative to the Bit acquisition are included in FY94
expenses, and depreciation and amortization in FY94 increased to $1,792,000
versus $802,000 in FY93. The increase was due to expenditures relating mainly to
the purchase of computers, test equipment and furniture and fixtures in expanded
offices throughout the world.
Interest Income
- ---------------
Interest income for FY94 increased to $1,668,000 up from $871,000 in
FY93. The gain was due to increased cash, cash equivalents and investment
balances, most of which was generated from operations, and the exercise of stock
options. Cash, cash equivalents and investments grew to $69,431,000 at June 30,
1994 from $36,101,000 at the end of FY93.
Other Gains
- -----------
During FQ494, the Company settled a lawsuit with Legato Systems, Inc.
for $649,000, net of related expenses, arising out of an advertisement placed by
Legato. In addition, the Company had an insignificant gain from the sale of
shares in a minor investment. The gain in FY93 relates to the gain on the sale
of a portion of the Company's investment in Gates/FA.
Provision for Income Taxes
- --------------------------
The provision for income taxes for FY94 was $16,742,000 or 34.0% of
pretax income. This effective income tax rate was lower than the expected
Federal and State effective rate of approximately 38% due mainly to the benefit
from the Foreign Sales Corp. (FSC) the Company formed on July 1, 1992, tax
exempt investment income and R&D tax credits.
Equity in Earnings of Gates/FA
- ------------------------------
The equity in earnings of Gates/FA in FY94 was $1,572,000 versus
$1,399,000 in FY93.
Per Share Data
- --------------
The net income per share in FY94 was $0.82 per share versus $0.53 per
share in FY93. The weighted average number of common shares and equivalents
outstanding increased to 39,877,000 shares in FY94 versus 38,992,000 shares in
FY93. The number of shares increased mainly due to stock option exercises plus
shares issued in the Bit Software acquisition.
25
<PAGE>
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -------------------------------
The Company has no debt and $71,202,000 in cash, cash equivalents and
investments as of June 30, 1995. Cash, cash equivalents and investments
increased during FY95 due to cash generated from operations of $13,326,000
(net of an approximate $12,000,000 income tax payment related to the
sale of Arrow common stock) and $1,520,000 of cash received from the exercise
of employee stock options. All accounts payable are current, and accounts
receivable collections average about 77 days, versus 72 days at the end of
FY94. Net accounts receivables increased 34% versus FY94 on a sales increase
of 31%. Cheyenne received approximately $30,324,000 in cash in connection with
the sale of 798,996 shares of Arrow common stock in FY95. Cheyenne paid out
approximately $30,458,000 of cash in connection with the repurchase of
2,035,000 of its shares in FY95.
Capital expenditures were $10,974,000 in FY95 versus $5,290,000 in
FY94. The largest type of capital expenditure was for computers and software for
the Company's increased number of personnel. Cheyenne also made significant
investments in equipment, furniture, fixtures, test equipment, new computers,
new communications and MIS equipment on a worldwide basis. Further increases in
capital expenditures are expected in FY96 as the Company adds additional office
space and begins to utilize the facility at 2000 Marcus Avenue noted above.
Management believes its current cash and investment position coupled with
anticipated cash flow from operations, will be more than adequate to meet
anticipated cash requirements in FY96. No financing for current operations will
be required during the near future.

Independent Auditors' Report
----------------------------
Shareholders and Board of Directors
Cheyenne Software, Inc. and Subsidiaries:
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of
Cheyenne Software, Inc. and subsidiaries as listed in the
accompanying index. In connection with our audits of the
consolidated financial statements, we also have audited the
financial statement schedule listed in the accompanying
index. These consolidated financial statements and
financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the
Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these consolidated financial statements and
financial statement schedule 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 consolidated financial statements
referred to above present fairly, in all material respects,
the financial position of Cheyenne Software, Inc. and
subsidiaries as of June 30, 1995 and 1994 and the results of
their operations and their cash flows for each of the years
in the three-year period ended June 30, 1995 in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles. Also in our
opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when
considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial
statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all
material respects, the information set forth therein.
As discussed in note 11(b) to the consolidated financial
statements, the Company is a defendant in a class action
lawsuit. The ultimate outcome of the litigation cannot
presently be determined. Accordingly, no provision for any
liability that may result upon adjudication has been
recognized in the accompanying consolidated financial
statements.

CHEYENNE SOFTWARE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
June 30, 1995
(1) Business and Significant Accounting Policies
--------------------------------------------
Business
--------
Cheyenne Software, Inc. and its subsidiaries (Cheyenne or the
Company) are engaged in the development, sale and support of
software products for use in microcomputers and computer systems
mainly for Local Area Network (LAN) and Wide Area Network (WAN)
applications.
On July 1, 1992, Cheyenne Software International, Inc., a
wholly-owned subsidiary operating as a foreign sales corporation
(FSC), was incorporated in the U.S. Virgin Islands. On February
1, 1993, the Company commenced operations of a 95% owned Japanese
subsidiary, Cheyenne Software KK, to produce and market certain of
the Company's products in Japan. Subsequent to June 30, 1995, the
Company acquired the 5% minority interest in Cheyenne Software KK
for a nominal amount. During fiscal 1995 and 1994, Cheyenne
established wholly owned subsidiaries in France, Germany, the
United Kingdom and Canada to provide sales and support of its
software products in those countries.
In February 1993, Cheyenne acquired the net assets of Applied
Programming Technologies, Inc. (APT) for 214,286 shares of the
Company's common stock. The acquisition was accounted for as a
pooling of interests. Revenues and net earnings of APT for years
prior to the acquisition are insignificant in relation to the
Company's consolidated results. Accordingly, prior year's
consolidated financial statements were not restated for this
acquisition.
On May 19, 1994, Cheyenne acquired the net assets of Bit Software
Inc. (Bit), which develops and markets communication software
products, for 140,590 shares of the Company's common stock. The
acquisition was accounted for as a pooling of interests.
Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements have been
restated for all periods prior to the merger. Prior to the
merger, Bit used a fiscal year ending December 31. Accordingly,
the restated financial statements combine the Company's June 30,
1994 and 1993 financial statements with Bit's June 30, 1994 and
December 31, 1993 financial statements, respectively. Bit's
revenue for the six months ended December 31, 1993 was $2,675,000,
Bit had no transactions during that period which changed
stockholders' equity and Bit's results of operations for that
period were approximately breakeven, thus there was no adjustment
to retained earnings from changing its fiscal year. There were no
intercompany transactions between Cheyenne and Bit.
Separate results of the combining entities for the years ended June
30, 1994 and 1993 are as follows (in thousands):
1994 1993

Revenues:
Cheyenne $92,863 50,735

CHEYENNE SOFTWARE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Continued
On December 19, 1994, the Company acquired certain assets and
assumed certain liabilities of NETstor, Inc. (NETstor), a developer
of Hierarchical Storage Management software products for the UNIX
computer platform in the network storage management market, for
$1,150,000 of cash and $200,000 of additional future contingent
payments. The acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase and
the operating results of NETstor are included in the consolidated
statement of earnings from the date of acquisition. In connection
with the acquisition, the Company recorded a $547,000 expense for
purchased research and development and $94,000 of capitalized
software which is included in other assets in the accompanying
balance sheet and is being amortized on a straight line basis over
two years.
On March 30, 1995, the Company acquired the DataJET product line and
certain other assets and assumed certain liabilities of NetFRAME
Systems, Inc. (NetFRAME). DataJET is an image based, high
performance software backup product for NetWare file servers.
Cheyenne made cash payments aggregating $801,000 for DataJET and
will pay royalties to NetFRAME based on the Company's sales of
products utilizing the DataJET technology. The acquisition has
been accounted for as a purchase. In connection with the
acquisition, the Company recorded a $704,000 expense for purchased
research and development.
The technological feasibility of the in-process technology related
to the NETstor and DataJET product acquisitions was not yet
established at the dates of acquisition and the technology had no
alternative use. The revenues and net earnings for NETstor and
the DataJET product for the years prior to the acquisition were
insignificant compared to the Company's consolidated results.
Consolidation Policy
--------------------
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
Cheyenne Software, Inc. and its majority-owned subsidiaries. All
significant intercompany transactions and balances have been
eliminated in consolidation.
Revenue and Profit Recognition
------------------------------
The Company recognizes revenue from software licenses and sales and
the sale of upgrades or enhancements to customers at delivery
provided no significant vendor and post-contract customer support
(PCS) obligations remain and collectibility of the resulting
receivables is probable. Revenue attributable to PCS included in
site-license agreements, primarily consisting of free upgrades for
a specified period, is deferred and recognized over the period it
is earned. Development fee income is recognized ratably during
the software development period and royalty income is recognized
when earned. The Company provides a liability for future PCS
(primarily telephone customer support) related to revenue
recorded, which is included in accrued liabilities in the
accompanying balance sheets. The Company also provides for
estimated product returns and exchanges, rebates and co-op
advertising costs, which are reflected as reductions to accounts
receivable in the accompanying balance sheets since the Company
grants credits for such items. The provision for returns and
exchanges reduces revenues and the provision for co-op advertising
is included in sales and marketing expenses. Technical support
costs are included in cost of sales.

CHEYENNE SOFTWARE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Continued
Cash Equivalents
----------------
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity
of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
Investments
-----------
Effective July 1, 1994, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 115, "Accounting for Certain
Investments in Debt and Equity Securities". This Statement
requires that investments in such securities be designated as
trading, held-to-maturity or available-for-sale. Trading
securities are reported at fair value with unrealized gains and
losses recognized in earnings. Available-for-sale securities are
reported at fair value with unrealized gains and losses included
in shareholders' equity. Securities which are classified as
held-to-maturity are reported at amortized cost. The adoption of
SFAS No.115 had no effect on the Company's consolidated statement
of earnings for the year ended June 30, 1995 and the prior years'
financial statements were not restated.
While it is the Company's general intent to hold securities until
maturity, management will occasionally sell particular securities
for cash flow purposes. Accordingly, at June 30, 1995, all the
Company's investments have been classified as available for sale.
Investment in Gates/FA
----------------------
As discussed in note 2(b), on August 29, 1994 Cheyenne sold its
remaining shares of Gates F/A common stock in exchange for Arrow
Electronics, Inc. (Arrow) common stock. Cheyenne accounted for
its investment in Gates/FA using the equity method of accounting,
which reflected the cost of the Company's investment adjusted for
its proportionate share of the net income or loss and capital
transactions of Gates/FA.
Fixed Assets
------------
Fixed assets are stated at cost. Amortization of leasehold
improvements is provided for over the lesser of the term of the
related leases or the estimated life of the assets, and
depreciation of equipment, furniture and fixtures, and purchased
computer software is provided for over their estimated useful
lives. The straight-line method is used for financial reporting
purposes, and an accelerated method is used, where applicable, for
income tax purposes.
Software Development Costs
--------------------------
Costs associated with the development and enhancement of proprietary
software are expensed as incurred. Such costs that could be
capitalized pursuant to FASB Statement No.86 are immaterial due to
the short period of time and minimal costs incurred between when
the Company's products reach technological feasibility and when
they are available for general release to the public.
Income Taxes
------------
Effective July 1, 1993, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" (SFAS
109). SFAS 109 requires deferred tax assets and liabilities to
____
(Continued)
F-8
<PAGE>
CHEYENNE SOFTWARE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Continued
be recognized for the 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 realized or settled.
Under SFAS 109, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of
a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that
includes the enactment date. Prior year's financial statements were
not restated to apply the provisions of SFAS 109 and its adoption
did not have a significant impact on the Company's net earnings for
the year ended June 30, 1994.
Pursuant to the deferred method under APB 11, which was applied in
fiscal 1993, deferred income taxes were recognized for income and
expense items that were reported in different years for financial
reporting purposes and income tax purposes using the tax rate
applicable for the year of the calculation. Under the deferred
method, deferred taxes were not adjusted for subsequent changes in
tax rates.
Common Stock
------------
Cheyenne's Certificate of Incorporation was amended on December 15,
1994 to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock
from 50,000,000 to 75,000,000.
Earnings Per Share
------------------
Net income per share is based on the weighted average number of
shares of common stock and common stock equivalents (stock
options) outstanding. All references to number of shares and per
share data have been restated for all periods presented to reflect
the three-for-two stock splits (note 6).
Foreign Currency Translation
----------------------------
Assets and liabilities of the Company's foreign subsidiaries have
been translated at rates of exchange at the end of the period.
Revenues and expenses have been translated at the weighted average
rates of exchange in effect during the period. Gains and losses
resulting from translation are accumulated as a separate component
of stockholders' equity.
Treasury Stock
--------------
On February 23, 1995, the Board of Directors of the Company
authorized management to purchase up to 4,000,000 shares of the
Company's outstanding common stock. Purchases are dictated by
overall financial and market conditions and other factors
affecting the operations of the Company. During fiscal 1995,
Cheyenne purchased 2,035,000 shares of its common stock for
approximately $30,458,000, at prices ranging from approximately
$13.50 to $17.25 per share. Treasury stock is recorded at cost.
Reclassification
----------------
Certain prior year information has been reclassified to conform with
the 1995 presentation format.

(2) Investment in Gates/FA Distributing, Inc. (Gates/FA) and Arrow Electronics, Inc.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(a) At June 30, 1992, Cheyenne owned 24.2% (1,448,290 common
shares) of Gates/FA, a distributor of microcomputers, software and
computer peripheral equipment. On February 3, 1993, Cheyenne sold
100,000 shares of Gates/FA common stock and recognized a gain of
approximately $754,000. This transaction resulted in a reduction
of Cheyenne's ownership interest in Gates/FA to approximately
21.5% (1,348,290 common shares).
</TABLE>
(b) On August 29, 1994, Cheyenne exchanged its remaining
1,348,290 shares of Gates/FA common stock for 798,996 common
shares of Arrow, a public company. The transaction qualified as a
tax-free exchange and resulted in a pre-tax gain of $21,232,000
for financial reporting purposes. After the transaction, Cheyenne
owned approximately 2% of Arrow's outstanding common stock.
Accordingly, the Company accounted for its investment in Arrow
common stock under the cost method of accounting.
(c) During the third and fourth quarters of fiscal 1995, Cheyenne
sold its Arrow common stock for $30,324,000, which resulted in a
net loss of approximately $11,000.

At the time the Company implemented SFAS 115 during the first
quarter of fiscal 1995, management decided to classify certain
investments as held-to-maturity due to its having the positive
intent and ability to hold those securities to maturity. During
the fourth quarter of fiscal 1995, the Company sold a portion of
its securities classified as held-to-maturity prior to their
maturity dates to purchase treasury stock. The amortized cost of
these securities was approximately $16,683,000 and the net
realized gain amounted to approximately $5,000.
Proceeds from the sale of available-for-sale securities (Arrow
common stock; note 2(c)) was approximately $30,324,000 in fiscal
1995, which resulted in a net realized loss of approximately
$11,000.

Management of the Company has determined, based upon historical
pre-tax earnings and expected taxable income in the future, that
it is more likely than not that the Company will realize its
deferred tax assets and therefore, no valuation allowance is
warranted.
The following is a reconciliation of the provision for income taxes
to the "expected" amounts computed by applying the statutory
Federal income tax rate to the Company's income before income
taxes:

Directors' Plan
---------------
In fiscal 1993, a stock option plan for outside directors
(Directors' Plan) was adopted and 405,000 common shares have been

common stock on January 1 of each calendar year that such director
serves the Company in such capacity, commencing January 1, 1993.
All stock options granted under the Directors' Plan are
immediately exercisable. The exercise price per share of each
option will be equal to the fair market value of the shares of
common stock on the date of grant. Each option granted under the
Directors' Plan expires upon the earlier of five years following
the date of grant or one year following the date an Outside
Director ceases to serve in such capacity, provided that the
option is exercised within the five years after the date of its
grant. No grants may be made under the Directors' Plan subsequent

(11) Legal and Other Matters
-----------------------
(a) In fiscal 1994, the Company received $649,000 in settlement
of a lawsuit, net of related expenses, from Legato Corp. arising
out of an advertisement placed by Legato, which is included in
other gains in the accompanying consolidated statement of
earnings.
(b) In June 1994, a securities fraud class action complaint was
filed against the Company and several of its officers and
directors. The actions allege securities fraud claims under
Section 10(b) and 20 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
whereby it was alleged that the Company and the individual
defendants made misrepresentations and omissions to the public
which caused the Company's stock to be artificially inflated, and
seek compensatory damages on behalf of all the shareholders who
purchased shares between approximately January 24, 1994 and
approximately June 17, 1994, as well as attorneys' fees and costs.
In addition, there is a shareholder derivative complaint alleging
that certain officers and directors breached their fiduciary
obligations to the Company. The defendants deny any and all
liability and intend to vigorously defend against the claims. The
ultimate outcome of the litigation cannot presently be determined.
Accordingly, no provision for any liability that may result upon
adjudication has been recognized in the accompanying consolidated
financial statements.
On or about April 14, 1995, the Securities and Exchange Commission
(SEC) advised the Company that it had issued a Formal Order of
Private Investigation of the Company related to possible
violations of federal securities laws, which was the continuation
of an informal inquiry which began in June 1994. The Company has
been cooperating with the SEC.
(c) In May 1995, JWANCO, Inc. (formerly known as Bit Software,
Inc.), and various related individuals filed an action against the
Company, Cheyenne Communications, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary
of the Company, and several of its officers, directors and
employees. The action alleges breach of contract, fraud, wrongful
termination, negligent infliction of emotional distress and a
number of other related torts. The essence of the allegations is
that the defendants breached agreements and defrauded JWANCO,
Inc., and the individual plaintiffs in connection with the
Company's acquisition of certain assets and assumption of certain
liabilities of Bit Software, Inc. on May 19, 1994. These
allegations are substantially similar to those described in note
11(b) above. In addition, the complaint alleges, on behalf of one
individual plaintiff only, wrongful termination and a variety of
other causes of action relating to his employment and termination
of the employment by the Company. Management of the Company,
based on advice from its legal counsel, does not believe that the
ultimate resolution of this lawsuit will have a material adverse
effect on the financial position or results of operations of the
Company.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Continued
(d) In May 1995, Personal Computer Peripherals Corporation (PCPC)
filed an action against the Company and five other defendants
alleging patent infringement. Cheyenne has filed its answer to the
complaint in which it denied patent infringement on its part and in
which it asserted affirmative defenses and counterclaims. The relief
sought by the complaint is a preliminary and permanent injunction, a
judgment of willful infringement, an accounting of sales, revenues
and profits, unspecified damages to be trebled, reasonable attorney's
fees and other related costs. Management of the Company, based on
advice from its legal counsel, does not believe that the ultimate
resolution of this lawsuit will have a material adverse effect on the
financial position or results of operations of the Company.

Landlord hereby leases to Tenant and Tenant hires from Landlord the

the building (consisting of approximately 100,000 sq. ft. on three floors
plus approximately 7500 sq. ft. of storage and archive space on the lower
level and garage), for a term of years commencing June 1, 1995 and ending
August 31, 2002, both dates inclusive, at an annual rental rate as
hereinafter provided in Paragraph "38", including garage parking and the
exterior lot, all as shown on the site plan annexed hereto as Exhibit A
(collectively, the "Demised Premises")
Tenant agrees to pay annual rent in lawful money of the United States
which shall be legal tender in payment of all debts and dues, public and
private, at the time of payment, in equal monthly installments in advance of
the first day of each month during said term, at the office of Owner or such
other place as Owner may designate, without any set off or deduction
whatsoever.
The parties hereto, for themselves, their heirs, distributees,

hereby covenant as follows:

be responsible hereunder. There shall be no allowance to Tenant for
diminution of rental value and no liability on the part of Owner by reason of
inconvenience, annoyance or injury to business arising from Owner or others
making repairs, alterations, additions or improvements in or to any portion
of the building or the demised premises or in and to the fixtures,
appurtenances or equipment thereof. It is specifically agreed that Tenant
shall not be entitled to any setoff or reduction of rent by reason of any
failure of Owner to comply with the covenants of this or any other article of
this Lease. Tenant agrees that Tenant's sole remedy at law in such instance
will be by way of an action for damages for breach of contract. The
provisions of this Article 4 shall not apply in the case of fire or other
casualty which are dealt with in Article 9 hereof.
Window 5. Tenant will not clean nor require, permit, suffer or
Cleaning: allow any window in the demised premises to be cleaned
from the outside in violation of Section 202 of the Labor
Law or any other applicable law or of the Rules of the Board of Standards and
Appeals, or of any other Board or body having or asserting jurisdiction.
Requirements 6. [6] At all times thereafter [7] Tenant, at Tenant's sole
of Law, cost and expense, shall promptly comply with all present
Fire Insurance, and future laws, orders and regulations of all state,
Floor Loads: federal, municipal and local governments, departments,
commissions and boards and any direction of any public
officer pursuant to law, and all orders, rules and regulations of the New
York Board of Fire Underwriters, Insurance Services Office, or any similar
body which shall impose any violation, order or duty upon Owner or Tenant
with respect to the demised premises arising out of Tenant's unique use or
manner of use thereof, (including Tenant's permitted use) or, with respect to
the building if arising out of Tenant's use or manner of use of the premises
or the building including the use permitted under the leases. Nothing herein
shall require Tenant to make structural repairs or alterations unless Tenant
has, by its manner of use of the demised premises or method of operations
therein, violated any such laws, ordinances, orders, rules, regulations or
requirements with respect thereto. Tenant may, after securing Owner to
Owner's reasonable satisfaction against all damages, interest, penalties and
expenses, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorney's fees, by cash
deposit or by surety bond in an amount and in a company satisfactory to
Owner, contest and appeal any such laws, ordinances, orders, rules,
regulations or requirements [8] provided same is done with all reasonable
promptness and provided such appeal shall not subject Owner to prosecution
for a criminal offense or constitute a default under any lease or mortgage
under which Owner may be obligated, or cause the demised premises or any part
thereof to be condemned or vacated. Tenant shall not do or permit any act or
thing to be done in or to the demised premises which is contrary to law, or
which will invalidate or be in conflict with public liability, fire or other
policies of insurance at any time carried by or for the benefit of Owner with
respect to the demised premises or the building of which the demised premises
form a part, or which shall or might subject Owner [9] to any liability or
responsibility to any person or for property damage. Tenant shall not keep
anything in the demised premises except as now or hereafter permitted by the
Fire Department, Board of Fire Underwriters, Fire Insurance Rating
Organization or other authority having jurisdiction, and then only in such
manner and such quantity so as not to increase the rate for fire insurance
applicable to the building, nor use the premises in manner which will
increase the insurance rate for the building or any property located therein
over that in effect prior to the commencement of Tenant's occupancy. Tenant
shall pay all costs, expenses, fines, penalties, or damages, which may be
imposed upon Owner by reason of Tenant's failure to comply with the
provisions of this article and if by reason of such failure the fire
insurance rate shall, at the beginning of this lease or at any time
thereafter, be higher than it otherwise would be, then Tenant shall reimburse
Owner, as additional rent hereunder, for that portion of all fire insurance
premiums thereafter paid by Owner which shall have been charged because of
such failure by Tenant. In any action or proceeding wherein Owner and Tenant
are parties, a schedule or "make-up" of rate for the building or demised
premises issued by the New York Fire Insurance Exchange, or other body making
<PAGE>
fire insurance rates applicable to said premises shall be conclusive evidence
of the facts therein stated and of the several items and charges in the fire
insurance rates then applicable to said premises. Tenant shall not place a
load upon any floor of the demised premises exceeding the floor load per
square foot area which it was designed to carry and which is allowed by law.
Owner reserves the right to prescribe the weight and position of all safes,
business machines and mechanical equipment. Such installations shall be
placed and maintained by Tenant, at Tenant's expense, in settings sufficient,
in Owner's judgement, to absorb and prevent vibrations, noise and annoyance.
Subordination: 7. This lease is subject and subordinate to all ground or
underlying leases and to all mortgages which may now or
hereafter affect such leases or the real property of which demise premises
are a part and to all renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements
and extensions of any such underlying leases and mortgages. This clause
shall be self-operative and no further instrument of subordination shall be
required by any ground or underlying lessor or by any mortgagee, affecting
any lease or the real property of which the demised premises are a part. In
confirmation of such subordination, Tenant shall execute promptly any
certificate that Owner may [10] request.
Property-- 8. Owner or its agents shall not be liable for any damage to
Loss, Damage, property of Tenant or of other entrusted to employees of
Reimburse- the building, nor for loss of or damage to any property
ment, Indem- of Tenant by theft or otherwise, nor for any injury or
nity: damage to persons or property resulting from any cause of
whatsoever nature, unless caused by or due to the
negligence of Owner, its agents, servants or employees. Owner or its agents
will not be liable for any such damage caused by other tenants or persons in,
upon or about said building or caused by operations in construction of any
private, public or quasi public work. Tenant shall indemnify and save
harmless Owner against and from all liabilities, obligations, damages,
penalties, claims, costs and expenses for which Owner shall not be reimbursed
by insurance, including reasonable attorneys fees, paid, suffered or incurred
as a result of any breach by Tenant, Tenant's agents, contractors, employees,
invitees, or licensees, of any covenant or condition of this lease, or the
carelessness, negligence or improper conduct of the Tenant, Tenant's agents,
contractors, employees, invitees or licensees. Tenant's liability under this
lease extends to the acts and omissions of any sub-tenant, and any agent,
contractor, employee, invitee or licensee of any sub-tenant. In case any
action or proceeding is brought against Owner by reason of any such claim,
Tenant, upon written notice from Owner, will, at Tenant's expense, resist or
defend such action or proceeding by counsel approved by Owner in writing,
such approval not to be unreasonably withheld.
Destruction, 9. (a) If the demised premises or any part thereof shall be
Fire and Other damaged by fire or other casualty, Tenant shall give
Casualty: immediate notice thereof to Owner and this lease shall
continue in full force and effect except as hereinafter
set forth. (b) If the demised premises are partially damaged or rendered
partially unusable by fire or other casualty, the damages thereto shall be
repaired by and at the expense of Owner and the rent [11] until such repair
shall be substantially completed, shall be apportioned from the day following
the casualty according to the part of the premises which is usable. (c) If
the demised premises are totally damaged or rendered wholly unusable by fire
or other casualty, then the rent shall be proportionately paid up to the time
of the casualty and thenceforth shall cease until the date when the premises
shall have been repaired and restored by Owner, subject to Owner's right to
elect not to restore the same as hereinafter provided. (d) If the demised
premises are rendered wholly unusable or (whether or not the demised premises
are damaged in whole or in part) if the building shall be so damaged that
Owner shall decide to demolish it or to rebuild it, then, in any of such
events, Owner may elect to terminate this lease by written notice to Tenant,
given with 90 days after such fire or casualty, specifying a date for the
expiration of the lease, which date shall not be more than 60 days after the
giving of such notice, and upon the date specified in such notice the term of
this lease shall expire as fully and completely as if such date were the date
set forth above for the termination of this lease and Tenant shall forthwith
quit, surrender and vacate the premises without prejudice however, to
Landlord's rights and remedies against Tenant under the lease provisions in
effect prior to such termination, and any rent owing shall be paid up to such
date and any payments of rent made by Tenant which were on account of any
period subsequent to such date shall be returned to Tenant. Unless Owner
shall serve a termination notice as provided for herein, Owner shall make the
repairs and restorations under the conditions of (b) and (c) hereof, with all
reasonable expedition, subject to delays due to adjustment of insurance
claims, labor troubles and causes beyond Owner's control. After any such
casualty, Tenant shall cooperate with Owner's restoration by removing from
the premises as promptly as reasonably possible, all of Tenant's salvageable
inventory and movable equipment, furniture, and other property. Tenant's
liability for rent shall resume five (5) days after written notice from Owner
<PAGE>
that the premises are substantially ready for Tenant's occupancy. (e) Nothing
contained hereinabove shall relieve Tenant from liability that may exist as a
result of damage from fire or other casualty. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
each party shall look first to any insurance in its favor before making any
claim against the other party for recovery for loss or damage resulting from
fire or other casualty, and to the extent that such insurance is in force and
collectible and to the extent permitted by law. Owner and Tenant each hereby
releases and waives all right of recovery against the other or any one
claiming through or under each of them by way of subrogation or otherwise.
The foregoing release and waiver shall be in force only if both releasors'
insurance policies contain a clause providing that such a release or waiver
shall not invalidate the insurance. If, and to the extent, that such waiver
can be obtained only by the payment of additional premiums, then the party
benefitting from the waiver shall pay such premium within ten days after
written demand or shall be deemed to have agreed that the party obtaining
insurance coverage shall be free of any further obligation under the
provisions hereof with respect to waiver of subrogation. Tenant acknowledges
that Owner will not carry insurance on Tenant's furniture and/or furnishings
or any fixtures or equipment, improvements, or appurtenances removable by
Tenant and agrees that Owner will not be obligated to repair any damage
thereto or replace the same. (f) Tenant hereby waives the provisions of
Section 227 of the Real Property Law and agrees that the provisions of this
article shall govern and control in lieu thereof.
Assignment, 11. Tenant, for itself, its heirs, distributees, executors,
Mortgage, administrators, legal representatives, successors and
Etc.: assigns, expressly covenants that it shall not assign,
mortgage or encumber this agreement, nor underlet, or
suffer or permit the demised premises or any part thereof to be used by
others, without the prior written consent of Owner in each instance.
Transfer of the majority of the stock of a corporate Tenant shall be deemed
and assignment. If this lease be assigned, or if the demised premises or any
part thereof be underlet or occupied by anybody other than Tenant, Owner may,
after default by Tenant, collect rent from the assignee, under-tenant or
occupant, and apply the net amount collected to the rent herein reserved, but
no such assignment, underletting, occupancy or collection shall be deemed a
waiver of this covenant, or the acceptance of the assignee, under-tenant or
occupant as tenant, or a release of Tenant from the further performance by
Tenant of covenants on the part of Tenant herein contained. The consent by
Owner to an assignment or underletting shall not in any wise be construed to
relieve Tenant from obtaining the express consent in writing of Owner to any
further assignment or underletting.
Electric 12. Rates and conditions in respect to submetering or rent
Current: inclusion, as the case may be, to be added in RIDER
attached hereto. Tenant covenants and agrees that at all
times its use of electric current shall not exceed the capacity of existing
feeders to the building or the risers or wiring installation and Tenant may
not use any electrical equipment which, in Owner's opinion, reasonably
exercised, will overload such installations or interfere with the use thereof
by other tenants of the building. The change at any time of the character of
electric service shall in no wise make Owner liable or responsible to Tenant,
for any loss, damages or expenses which Tenant may sustain.
Access to 13. Owner or Owner's agents shall have the right (but shall
Premises: not be obligated) to enter the demised premises in any
emergency at any time, and, at other reasonable times, to
examine the same and to make such repairs, replacements and improvements as
Owner may deem necessary and reasonably desirable to the demised premises or
to any other portion of the building or which Owner may elect to perform.
Throughout the term hereof Owner shall have the right to enter the demised
premises at reasonable hours for the purpose of showing the same to
prospective purchasers or mortgagees of the building, and during the last six
months of the term for the purpose of showing the same to prospective
tenants. If Tenant is not present to open and permit an entry into the
premises, Owner or Owner's agents may enter the same whenever such entry may
be necessary or permissible by master key or forcibly and provided reasonable
care is exercised to safeguard Tenant's property, such entry shall not render
Owner or its agents liable therefor, nor in any event shall the obligations
of Tenant hereunder be affected. If during the last month of the term Tenant
shall have removed all or substantially all of Tenant's property therefrom,
Owner may immediately enter, alter, renovate or redecorate the demised
premises without limitation or abatement of rent, or incurring liability to
Tenant for any compensation and such act shall have no effect on this lease
or Tenant's obligations hereunder.
Occupancy: 15. Tenant will not at any time use or occupy the demised
premises in violation of the certificate of occupancy
issued for the building of which the demised premises are a part. Tenant has
inspected the premises and accepts them as is, subject to the riders annexed
hereto with respect to Owner's work, if any. In any event, Owner makes no
<PAGE>
representation as to the condition of the premises and Tenant agrees to
accept the same subject to violations, whether or not of record. [12]
Fees and 19. If Tenant shall default [13b] in the observance or
Expenses: performance of any term or covenant on Tenant's part to
be observed or performed under or by virtue of any of
the terms or provisions in any article of this lease, then, unless otherwise
provided elsewhere in this lease, Owner may immediately or at any time
thereafter and with notice perform the obligation of Tenant thereunder. If
Owner, in connection with the foregoing or in connection with any default by
Tenant in the covenant to pay rent hereunder, makes any expenditures or
incurs any obligations for the payment of money, including but not limited to
attorney's fees, in instituting, prosecuting or defending any action or
proceeding, then Tenant will reimburse Owner for such sums so paid or
obligations incurred with interest and costs. The foregoing expenses
incurred by reason of Tenant's default shall be deemed to be additional rent
hereunder and shall be paid by Tenant to Owner with 20 days of rendition of
any bill or statement to Tenant therefor. If Tenant's lease term shall have
expired at the time of making of such expenditures or incurring of such
obligations, such sums shall be recoverable by Owner as damages. [13c]
No Repre- 21. Neither Owner nor Owner's agents have made any
sentations by representations or promises with respect to the physical
Owner: condition of the building, the land upon which it is
erected or the demised premises, the rents, leases,
expenses of operation or any other matter or thing affecting or related to
the premises except as herein expressly set forth and no rights, easements or
licenses are acquired by Tenant by implication or otherwise except as
expressly set forth in the provisions of this lease. Tenant has inspected
the building and the demised premises and is thoroughly acquainted with their
condition and agrees to take the same "as is" and acknowledges that the
taking of possession of the demised premises by Tenant shall be conclusive
evidence that the said premises and the building of which the same form a
part were in good and satisfactory condition at the time such possession was
so taken. All understandings and agreements heretofore made between the
parties hereto are merged in this contract, which alone fully and completely
expresses the agreement between Owner and Tenant and any executory agreement
hereafter made shall be ineffective to change, modify, discharge or effect an
abandonment of it in whole or in part, unless such executory agreement is in
writing and signed by the party against whom enforcement of the change,
modification, discharge or abandonment is sought.
End of 22. Upon the expiration or other termination of the term of
Term: this lease, Tenant shall quit and surrender to Owner the
demised premises, broom clean, in good order and
condition, ordinary wear and damages which Tenant is not required to repair
as provided elsewhere in this lease excepted, and Tenant shall remove all its
property. Tenant's obligation to observe or perform this covenant shall
survive the expiration or other termination of this lease. If the last day
of the term of this Lease or any renewal thereof, falls on Sunday, this lease
shall expire at noon on the preceding Saturday unless it be a legal holiday
in which case it shall expire at noon on the preceding business day.
Quiet 23. Owner covenants and agrees with Tenant that upon Tenant
Enjoyment: paying the rent and additional rent and observing and
performing all the terms, covenants and conditions, on
Tenant's part to be observed and performed, Tenant may peaceably and quietly
enjoy the premises hereby demised, subject, nevertheless, to the terms and
conditions of this lease including, but not limited to, Article 31 hereof and
to the ground leases, underlying leases and mortgages hereinbefore mentioned.
Failure 24. If Owner is unable to give possession of the demised
to Give premises on the date of the commencement of the term
Possession: hereof, because of the holding-over or retention of
possession of any tenant, undertenant or occupants or if
the demised premises are located in a building being constructed, because
such building has not been sufficiently completed to make the premises ready
for occupancy or because of the fact that a certificate of occupancy has not
been procured or for any other reason, Owner shall not be subject to any
liability for failure to give possession on said date and the validity of the
lease shall not be impaired under such circumstances, nor shall the same be
construed in any wise to extend the term of this lease, but the rent payable
hereunder shall be abated (provided Tenant is not responsible for Owner's
inability to obtain possession) until after Owner shall have given Tenant
written notice that the premises are substantially ready for Tenant's
occupancy. If permission is given to Tenant to enter into the possession of
the demised premises or to occupy premises other than the demised premises
prior to the date specified as the commencement of the term of this lease,
Tenant covenants and agrees that such occupancy shall be deemed to be under
all the terms, covenants, conditions and provisions of this lease, except as
to the covenant to pay rent. The provisions of this article are intended to
<PAGE>
constitute "an express provision to the contrary" within the meaning of
Section 223-a of the New York Real Property Law.
No Waiver: 25. The failure of [14] to seek redress for violation of, or
to insist upon the strict performance of any covenant or
condition of this lease, shall not prevent a subsequent act which would have
originally constituted a violation from having all that force and effect of
an original violation. The receipt by Owner of rent with knowledge of the
breach of any covenant of this lease shall not be deemed a waiver of such
breach and no provision of this lease shall be deemed to have been waived by
Owner unless such waiver be in writing signed by Owner. No payment by Tenant
or receipt by Owner of a lesser amount than the monthly rent herein
stipulated shall be deemed to be other than on account of the earliest
stipulated rent, nor shall any endorsement or statement of any check or any
letter accompanying any check or payment as rent be deemed an accord and
satisfaction, and Owner may accept such check or payment without prejudice to
Owner's right to recover the balance of such rent or pursue any
other remedy in this lease provided. No act or thing done by Owner or
Owner's agents during the term hereby demised shall be deemed an acceptance
of a surrender of said premises, and no agreement to accept such surrender
shall be valid unless in writing signed by Owner. No employee of Owner or
Owner's agent shall have any power to accept the keys of said premises prior
to the termination of the lease and the delivery of keys to any such agent or
employee shall not operate as a termination of the lease or a surrender of
the premises.
Waiver of 26. It is mutually agreed by and between Owner and Tenant
Trial by Jury: that the respective parties hereto shall and they hereby
do waive trial by jury in any action, proceeding, or
counterclaim brought by either of the parties hereto against the other
(except for personal injury or property damage) on any matters whatsoever
arising out of or in any way connected with this lease, the relationship of
Owner and Tenant, Tenant's use of or occupancy of said premises, and any
emergency statutory or any other statutory remedy. It is further mutually
agreed that in the event Owner commences any summary proceeding for
possession of the premises, Tenant will not interpose any counterclaim of
whatever nature or description in any such proceeding including a
counterclaim under Article 4.
Inability to 27. This Lease and the obligation of Tenant to pay rent
Perform: hereunder and perform all of the other covenants and
agreements hereunder on part of Tenant to be performed
shall in no wise be affected, impaired or excused because Owner is unable to
fulfill any of its obligations under this lease or to supply or is delayed in
supplying any service expressly or impliedly to be supplied or is unable to
make, or is delayed in making any repair, additions, alterations or
decorations or is unable to supply or is delayed in supplying any equipment
or fixtures if Owner is prevented or delayed from so doing by reason of
strike or labor troubles or any cause whatsoever including, but not limited
to, government preemption in connection with a National Emergency or by
reason of any rule, order or regulation of any department or subdivision
thereof of any government agency or by reason of the conditions of supply and
demand which have been or are affected by war or other emergency. [15]
Bills and 28. Except as otherwise in this lease provided, a bill,
Notices: statement, notice or communication which Owner may desire
or require to give to Tenant, shall be deemed
sufficiently given or rendered if, in writing, delivered to Tenant personally
or sent by registered or certified mail addressed to Tenant at the building
of which the demised premises form a part or at the last known residence
address or business address of Tenant or left at any of the aforesaid
premises addressed to Tenant, and the time of the rendition of such bill or
statement and of the giving of such notice or communication shall be deemed
to be the time when the same is delivered to Tenant, mailed, or left at the
premises herein provided. Any notice by Tenant to Owner must be served by
registered or certified mail addressed to Owner at the address first
hereinabove given or at such other address as Owner shall designate by
written notice.
Captions: 30. The Captions are inserted only as a matter of convenience
and for reference and in no way define, limit or describe
the scope of this lease nor the intent of any provisions thereof.
Definitions: 31. The term "Owner" means a landlord or lessor, and as used
in this lease means only the owner, or the mortgagee in
possession, for the time being of the land and building of which the demised
premises form a part, so that in the event of any sale or sales of said

between the parties or their successors in interest, or between the parties
and the purchaser, at an such sale, or the said lessee of the building, or
of the land and
<PAGE>

premises for the purposes of doing such work as said person shall deem necessary
to preserve the wall or the building of which demised premises form a part from
injury or damage and to support the same by proper foundations without any claim
for damage and to support the same by proper foundations without any claim for
damages or indemnity against Owner, or diminution or abatement of rent.
Security: 34. Tenant has deposited with Owner the sum of $118,750.00
as security for the faithful performance and observance by
Tenant of the terms, provisions and conditions of this lease; it is agreed that
in the event Tenant defaults in respect of any of the terms, provisions and
conditions of this lease, including, but not limited to, the payment of rent and
additional rent, Owner may use, apply or retain the whole or any part of the
security so deposited to the extent required for the payment of any rent and

-----------------
Except as hereinafter specifically set forth, Tenant
shall be obligated to pay all real estate taxes against the demised
premises and due and payable for the period commencing after the

Taxes shall mean the real estate taxes and assessments
-----
directly imposed upon the Land and Building by the Town, Village
and School District in which the property is situated, excluding
interest and penalties thereon. If there shall be any dispute
concerning this provision, same shall be arbitrated under American
Arbitration Association rules. Income, franchise, transfer,
inheritance and capital stock taxes shall be deemed excluded from
the term Taxes for the purposes hereof. However, if and to the
extent that, due to a change in the method of assessment or
taxation, any income, franchise, transfer, inheritance, capital
stock and/or other tax or charge shall be directly attributable to
and substituted for the Taxes now or hereafter imposed upon the
-----
2
<PAGE>
Land and the Building, such income, franchise, transfer,
inheritance, capital stock taxes, or other tax or charge, computed
as if Landlord owned or operated no property other than the Land
and the Building, shall be deemed included in the term Taxes for
the purposes hereof. -----
Landlord represents that there are currently no tax
abatements or tax exemptions and that the building has been fully
assessed as a completed structure.
Tenant shall make payment to Landlord on the first day
of each month during the term of the lease of a sum equal to one-
twelfth of the taxes levied, assessed and imposed by the local
taxing authorities imposed by the taxing authority for the prior
12 month period. Such payments shall be in conformity with the
statement to be rendered by Landlord of the monthly amount to be
paid by Tenant pursuant to this lease for such taxes. Such
payments, when received by Landlord, shall be deposited in an
interest bearing account and interest earned thereon shall be paid
to Tenant annually.
Tenant's obligation to pay such taxes shall survive the
termination of this lease. Payments of additional rent for any
Taxes due from Tenant shall be made, and are subject to the
conditions hereinafter provided in this paragraph.
Within 90 days after the end of each Lease Year, Landlord
shall render to Tenant a statement together with a true copy of all
bills for Taxes on which any statement shall have been based,
showing the amount of the Taxes for such Lease Year and adjustment,
if any, in the Tax Payment due from Tenant for such Lease Year,
indicating therein in reasonable detail the computation of such
adjustment. Any adjustment due from Tenant for Taxes shall be paid
monthly during the course of the applicable year. At the
expiration of the terms of the lease, the tax amounts paid or
payable by Tenant shall be apportioned based on the date of
termination.
Subject to the right of contest hereinafter provided,
Tenant shall pay the amount of the Tax Payment shown on such
3
<PAGE>
statement (or the balance or a proportionate installment thereof,
if only an installment is involved) within twenty (20) days after
being billed therefor by Landlord.
Landlord's statement for a Tax Payment of any Lease year
shall be conclusive and binding upon Tenant unless (i) within 30
days after receipt of such statement, Tenant shall notify Landlord
that it disputes the correctness of the statement and tax bills,
specifying the respects in which the statement is claimed to be
incorrect, and (ii) if such dispute shall not have been settled by
agreement, Tenant shall submit the dispute to arbitration pursuant
to American Arbitration Association rules and procedures, within
90 days after notice, if such notice is given. Pending the
determination of such dispute by agreement or arbitration as
aforesaid, Tenant shall pay additional rent in accordance with
Landlord's statement, and such payment shall be without prejudice
to Tenant's position. If the dispute shall be determined in
Tenant's favor, Landlord shall forthwith pay Tenant, or Tenant
shall be entitled to credit against rents then or thereafter due
hereunder, the amount of Tenant's overpayment of rents resulting
from compliance with Landlord's statement plus interest thereon at
the usual bank interest rate from the date or dates of Tenant's
payment to the date of determination.
Subject to the further provisions of this paragraph,
Landlord shall be under no obligation to contest the Taxes or the
assessed valuation of the Land and Building for any Lease Year, or
to refrain from contesting the same, and may settle any such
contest on such terms as Landlord, in its sole reasonable judgment,
considers proper. If Tenant shall, by timely notice to Landlord,
so request, Landlord shall institute appropriate proceedings to
reduce the Taxes or the assessed valuation of the Land and Building
for any Lease Year and use its best efforts jointly with Tenant,
to effect a reduction therein. Tenant shall pay the reasonable
costs and expenses of such proceedings and any litigation thereon
as additional rent on Landlord's demand therefor, subject to
recoupment from any refund obtained. Landlord shall not
4
<PAGE>
compromise, cancel or withdraw such proceedings which shall have
been instituted at the request of Tenant, unless Landlord shall
first notify Tenant of its proposal to do so and shall not have
received, within 10 days thereafter, objections in writing from
Tenant, accompanied by a written agreement to reimburse Landlord
forthwith for all of its costs and expenses and relieve Landlord
of all of its commitments in connection with such proceedings and
to indemnify and hold Landlord harmless against all liability,
loss, damage or expense connected with the past or future conduct
of such proceedings for which such objector shall be liable. Upon
receipt of such objection, agreement and reimbursement, Landlord
shall transfer the responsibility for such proceedings to Tenant
who may carry on the same in its own name or in Landlord's name,
as may be appropriate, at its own expense and shall be entitled to
recoupment for all of its costs and expenses from any refund
obtained, but not otherwise. However, if the taxes for such Tax
Year or an installment thereof shall be reduced before such Taxes
or such installment shall be paid, the amount of the costs and
expenses of obtaining such reduction (but not exceeding the amount
of such reduction) shall be repaid by Landlord to said Tenant and
shall be added to and be deemed a part of the Taxes for such Lease
Year.
41. ASSESSMENTS AND NEW TAXES.
-------------------------
Either the Landlord or Tenant shall have the right, by
appropriate proceedings, to protest or contest any assessment or
reassessment for real estate taxes, or any special assessment, or
the validity of either, or of any change in assessments or the tax
rate.
In any such contest or proceedings instituted by Tenant,
the Tenant may act in its own name and/or the name of the Landlord
and the Landlord will, at the Tenant's request, cooperate with the
Tenant in any way the Tenant may reasonably require in connection
with such contest or proceedings. The Landlord shall sign such
consents or other documents as the Tenant may request. Any contest
or proceedings conducted by the Tenant shall be at the Tenant's
5
<PAGE>
expense and, in the event any penalties, interest or late charges
become payable with respect to the real estate taxes as the result
of such contest, the Tenant shall pay the same.
Tenant shall, in addition to the foregoing, pay any new
tax of a nature not presently in effect but which may be hereafter
levied, assessed, or imposed upon the Landlord or the demised
premises, if such tax shall be based on or arise out of the
ownership, use or operation, of the leased premises. This
additional obligation shall include charges now or formerly in the
nature. of real estate taxes though denominated "fees" and
attributable to some specific matter or service. For the purpose
of computing Tenant's liability for such new type of tax or fee,
the leased premises shall be deemed the only property of Landlord.
42. SERVICES OR UTILITIES.
---------------------
Except as herein otherwise provided, the Landlord shall
not be required to furnish any services or utilities to the
premises during the term of this Lease, the Tenant hereby assuming
full and sole responsibility for the supply of, and payment for,
such services and utilities, including water. Landlord has agreed
to pay for all utilities prior to June 1, 1995*
Tenant acknowledges that it has examined the building and
grounds, and will accept possession of the property in an "as is"
condition, provided all utilities and services are delivered to
Tenant in good working order.
Landlord agrees to furnish and pay for the services of
a building superintendent, (who shall be on duty full time, five
and one half days per week, except holidays - weekdays from 8 A.M
to 4:30 P.M. and on Saturdays from 8 A.M. to 12:30 P.M.) and will

repairs to building HVAC (consisting of 14 roof-top units) and to
plumbing system, snow and ice removal from parking lot, maintenance
and repair to parking lot, flagpoles and miscellaneous repairs.
Landlord agrees that the services and the performance of such

<PAGE>
Tenant shall be responsible for maintenance and
replacement, if necessary, of the following: rubbish removal,
office cleaning, window cleaning, snow removal from walkways, cost
of all utilities, telephone, damage caused by negligence or misuse
by Tenant of sewer lines, maintenance and operation of cafeteria,

U.P.S. systems; the building's electrical systems (if caused by
Tenant's negligence or use of same, exceeding systems' capacity),
lamps, fixtures, tenant's signage, carpets and finishes.
In the event Landlord is no longer the owner of the
Building and the Premises, Tenant, at its option, upon fifteen (15)
days prior written notice to Landlord, shall have the right to
assume Landlord's responsibilities set forth in this paragraph as
well as Landlord's obligation to provide the insurance described
in Article 52A and B. In the event Tenant exercises this option
effective on the date Tenant assumes the insurance and maintenance
obligations, the Annual Rent set forth in Article 38 of this Lease
shall be reduced by the sum of $2.50 per square foot plus the then
applicable Maintenance Escalation per square foot described in
Article 38B. At the request of Tenant, Landlord agrees to execute
an agreement setting forth the new Annual Rent and Monthly Rent to
be payable by Tenant during the balance of the Term of this Lease
and any renewal thereof.

-----------
Notwithstanding any provisions in this lease to the
contrary, the Tenant may place partitions, trade or other fixtures
(including lighting fixtures), personal property, machinery,
equipment and the like in the premises and may make such
improvements and alterations therein and thereon as it may desire
at its own expense, subject to the provision of the following
subparagraphs. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord has conceded to
Tenant the equivalent of $1,500,000 in "free-rent" in exchange for
payment by Tenant for all the alterations and other work to be
performed. All such work and installations (except personal
property, fixtures [other than electrical fixtures], machinery and
7
<PAGE>
equipment) heretofore or hereafter made or installed by or for the
Tenant shall become the property of Landlord and in case of damage
or destruction thereto by fire or other causes, Landlord shall have
the right to recover the value thereof as its own loss from any
insurance company with which it has insured the same, or by
separate claim, to claim an award in the event of condemnation.
Subject to the provisions herein set forth, Tenant shall
be permitted to make interior and non-structural alterations to the
building at any time after the execution of this agreement after
first obtaining written approval of the Landlord, which approval
shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. On or
before February 1, 1995, Tenant shall be required to submit
architectural working drawings and specifications with respect to
interior, exterior and structural alterations, including electric
and reflective ceiling plans, and upon receiving Landlord's
approval, to obtain at Tenant's expense all necessary permits,
insurance and approvals. Such plans shall indicate the location,
total number of persons occupying the space and all equipment
locations. Within seven (7) business days after delivery to
Landlord of the architectural working drawings and specifications,
Landlord shall submit to Tenant any reasonable comments Landlord
may have with respect thereto. Tenant shall thereafter, within
five (5) business days, resubmit to Landlord revised architectural
working drawings and specifications incorporating Landlord's
reasonable comments. Landlord's failure to respond within the time
period set forth herein shall be deemed approval of Tenant's
submission. Landlord shall have the right to approve or disapprove
any proposed contractors in connection therewith (but such approval
shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) and
Landlord shall designate on the drawings submitted which of said
improvements shall remain after the termination of the lease and
which shall be removed by Tenant at Tenant's expense.
If Tenant desires, Landlord will obtain bids from three
sub-contractors, recommended by Tenant or Landlord, and known to
Landlord as reputable.
All alterations [as shown on the drawings to be submitted
to the Building Department (if required)] costing in excess of
$15,000 are to be performed by Landlord or its designee, on a
construction management basis, at cost plus 10%, through
subcontractors approved by Tenant and Landlord, provided the cost
to perform any such work shall be no greater than the cost for same
obtained from a reliable general contractor. This provision shall
apply only so long as Landlord remains as Owner of the premises.
8
<PAGE>
Landlord may withhold approval of any contractor selected
by Tenant provided the contract is in excess of $100,000, if such
contractor fails to post, for the benefit of Landlord and Tenant,
a completion bond in form and amount reasonably satisfactory to
Landlord and further, to provide certificates of insurance and
proof of payment of premiums thereon.
Tenant shall maintain the building in the same condition
as at present throughout the Term (other than reasonable wear and
tear and damage by casualty) except for those items which are the
responsibility of Landlord, as hereinbefore enumerated.
Upon receipt of Tenant's plans, (not later than February
1, 1995), Landlord will, at its sole cost and expense, contract for
HVAC engineering drawings which will be designed in accordance with
Tenant's architectural space plans, conforming with lease, whereby
Landlord assumes responsibility for design of the original
installation and duct work distribution of Landlord's 14 rooftop
units. Tenant is solely responsible for payment for the
installation of its HVAC work, computers and special equipment.

to vacate the building on August 31, 2000 by giving the Landlord

Landlord, simultaneously with the giving of such notice, the sum
of $275,000 and an additional payment of $275,000 on or before

45. EXPIRATION OF TERM.
------------------
At the expiration of the term, the Tenant will remove its
goods and effects and will (a) peaceably yield up to the Landlord
the premises in good order and condition, excepting ordinary wear
and tear, damage, destruction or loss by fire or other casualty or
by any other cause of any kind or nature, provided the Tenant
delivers to the Landlord all insurance proceeds paid to the Tenant
in connection with any such loss or casualty to the extent of the
9
<PAGE>
Landlord's interest in the premises and (b) repair all damage to
the premises and the fixtures, appurtenances and equipment of the
Landlord therein and thereon, caused by the Tenant's removal of its

obligated to remove as hereinbefore set forth.

to the Tenant (except in an emergency), have the right at all
reasonable times during business hours to inspect the premises,
show the same to prospective mortgagees and during the last six (6)
months of the term, show the same to prospective tenants, and at
all times to comply with the requirements imposed on Landlord by
this Lease, or as may be otherwise necessary, provided however,

the Tenant's use and occupancy of the premises.

expense, promptly comply with all laws, ordinances, orders, rules,
regulations and requirements of all federal, state and municipal
governments and governmental agencies, which are applicable to the
particular use, manner of use or occupancy thereof by Tenant and
maintain the premises in compliance with the requirements of the
insurance companies from which the Tenant purchases the coverage
required by this Lease.
Landlord states that the building has handicap
(wheelchair) access with respect to elevators and the second floor
toilets.
After prior notice to the Landlord, the Tenant shall have
the right to contest by appropriate legal proceedings (in the name
of the Tenant or the Landlord or both) at the Tenant's sole cost
and expense and with counsel of the Tenant's choosing, the validity
of any law, ordinance, order, rule, regulation or requirement with
which, by the provisions of this Lease, it is obligated to comply.
10
<PAGE>
If, by the terms of any such law, ordinance, order, rule,
regulation or requirement, compliance therewith may be legally held
in abeyance without incurring any lien or charge of record against
the premises, and without subjecting the Landlord to any fines,
penalties or any other liability for failure to comply therewith,
the Tenant may postpone compliance until the final determination
of any such proceedings, provided that all proceedings shall be
prosecuted with due diligence.

12
<PAGE>
Income payable to and insuring the interest of the Landlord as to
the value of the rental obligation hereunder to the extent of one
year's gross rental value.
(b) Boiler and Machinery Insurance: landlord shall also
------------------------------
purchase and maintain during the term of the lease at Landlord's
expense for the benefit of Landlord Broad Form Boiler and Machinery
coverage covering all insurable objects. Said policy shall provide

as its interest appears.
(c) Property Insurance; Indemnity for Damage to Tenant's
----------------------------------------------------
Personal Property; Landlord shall also purchase and maintain during
- -----------------
the term of the Lease at Landlord's expense insurance for those items
of property belonging to Landlord which, (under Paragraph 42 of this lease)
are Tenant's responsibility.
Tenant shall maintain at its own expense during the term
of the lease, replacement cost insurance on Tenant's machinery,
equipment, furniture and fixtures, goods, wares, merchandise and
improvements/betterments in sufficient amounts against damage
caused by Fire and all other perils covered by a standard All Risk
Insurance policy. Landlord and Tenant agree to waive their
respective right of subrogation against the other and shall obtain
a waiver from their respective insurance companies releasing these
carriers' subrogation rights against the other party.
(d) Liability Insurance: Tenant shall maintain at its
-------------------
own expense during the term of the lease, liability insurance as
follows:
(1) Comprehensive General Liability insurance at
a minimum of $1,000,000 Combined Single Limit (Bodily Injury &

$10,000,000 Limit, providing excess coverage over all coverage
13
<PAGE>
included in the Comprehensive or Commercial General Liability and
Broad Form Comprehensive General Liability endorsement.

damage to any property arising out of the maintenance, use, care
or control of the demised premises other than any claims arising
as a result of any structural or other defects which are Landlord's
responsibility.
Tenant assumes liability for any Personal injury, Property
Damage (including loss of use), cost or expense resulting in claims
arising out of the discharge dispersal, release or escape of
pollutants or contaminants, limited, however, to acts or omissions

duties and obligations of Landlord.
14
<PAGE>
The Comprehensive General liability coverage in Section (d)(1)
should evidence that the $1,000,000 limit is subject to no
deductible. In the case of Umbrella liability, if there is a
deductible or self-insured retention, it should clearly be spelled
out that Tenant assumes full responsibility for same.
Tenant's failure to provide and keep in force all the
aforementioned insurance shall be regarded as a material default
hereunder, entitling owner to exercise any or all remedies in the
event of default.
53. RESTORATION OR REPAIR OF PREMISES.
---------------------------------
If the Building on the leased premises shall be damaged
or destroyed by any cause whatsoever, during the term of this
lease, Landlord shall, within ninety (90) days after such casualty
commence repair and replacement of the Building at its own expense
and within nine (9) months after commencement of such repair,
restore the Building so that the property after such repair and
replacement shall be substantially in the same condition as prior
to the damage or destruction, and shall do so, even though the
proceeds of any insurance policies shall be insufficient to
reimburse the Landlord therefor. From the date of such casualty
until thirty (30) days after the Building is so repaired and
restored, Rent and all other charges and items payable hereunder
shall abate in such proportion as the part of the Building thus
destroyed or rendered untenantable bears to the total Building.
However, in the event that fifty percent (50%) or more of the
Building is destroyed or rendered untenantable by fire or other
casualty then either party shall have the right to terminate this
Lease effective as of the date of the casualty, by giving to the
other party within sixty (60) days of such casualty, written notice
of termination. If said notice of termination is given within the
sixty (60) day period, this Lease shall terminate and Rent and all
other charges shall abate as aforesaid from the date of such
casualty, and Landlord shall promptly repay to Tenant any Rent paid
in advance which has not been earned as of the date of such
casualty. If said notice is not given and Landlord is required or
15
<PAGE>
elects to repair or rebuild the Building as herein provided, then
Tenant shall repair and replace Tenant's Property to at least their
condition prior to the damage or destruction.
The foregoing provision regarding Landlord's obligation
to repair and replace the buildings shall not include Tenant's
partitions, equipment or property of any kind.
If Tenant elects to terminate this Lease because
Landlord's repairs are not completed within the time period set
forth herein, Landlord shall have the right to negate Tenant's
notice of cancellation provided such repairs are completed to such
extent to permit Tenant's use and occupancy of the Demised Premises
within thirty (30) days after Tenant's notice of cancellation.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this
paragraph if substantial damage occurs during the last two years
of this lease, Landlord shall not be obligated to repair the
building, and may retain the proceeds of such insurance as its own
property and by notice given within thirty (30) days of such damage
occurring, serve written notice on Tenant cancelling the lease as
of the date of such occurrence.
54. CONDEMNATION.
------------
A. If at any time during the Term, any municipal or
other governmental agency takes title by eminent domain and/or by
the exercise of right of condemnation, to the whole of the Demised
Premises or such material portion thereof, [including any
substantial impairment of egress and ingress to the Demised
Premises and Marcus Avenue or twenty (20%) percent or more of the
parking area closest to Marcus Avenue] as would render, in the
reasonable judgment of Tenant, the balance of the Demised Premises
not suitable for Tenant's use (hereinafter referred to as the
"proceeding"), this Lease shall terminate and expire on the date
of such taking and, provided that the Tenant has vacated the
premises, the Annual Rent and other charges provided to be paid by
Tenant shall be apportioned and paid to the date of such taking.
B. If, at any time during the Term, title to less than
materially all of the Demised Premises shall be taken as aforesaid
16
<PAGE>
and the Lease is not terminated as hereinabove set forth, Landlord
shall restore the building on the Demised Premises to an
architecturally complete unit with reasonable promptness, subject
to delay beyond Landlord's reasonable control. During such
Restoration, both Annual Rent and other charges payable by Tenant
shall be adjusted until restoration is complete and the Demised
Premises is again fully occupied by Tenant.
C. Notice of any termination relating to any
condemnation or eminent domain proceeding must be made by the party
electing to terminate this Lease within sixty (60) days after
receipt of written notice of such taking. In the event of such
termination, both Landlord and Tenant shall thereupon be released
from any liability thereafter accruing hereunder.
D. In the case of any taking pursuant to the provisions
of this Article, Landlord shall be entitled to receive any award
that may be made for the value of the portion of the Demised
Premises so taken and the value of any unexpired term of this
Lease, but Tenant shall have the right to pursue a separate claim
against the condemning authority for the value of its leasehold
fixtures and equipment and its moving and relocation expenses.
Landlord and Tenant shall be entitled to separate reimbursement
from the condemning authority of all reasonable costs, fees and
expenses incurred in the collection of any such awards.
E. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Article
to the contrary, Landlord shall not be required to restore the
Demised Premises if there are less than two (2) years remaining of
the Term at the time of such condemnation. If Landlord elects not
to restore the Demised Premises, then this Lease shall be deemed
cancelled as of the date of the taking.
55. CURING DEFAULTS.
---------------
Should either party fail to perform any of its
obligations imposed by the terms of this lease within 20 days after
written notice, but in any event, regardless of such notice or the
lack thereof, promptly before the accrual of any penalty as
provided by law or by any mortgage held by an institutional lender
17
<PAGE>
superior to the lease, the other party may perform the same and add
or subtract any such sum or sums paid or expended in such
performance to or from any rent then due or thereafter falling due.
However, this does not grant Tenant any license or privilege to
allow the premises to be without the insurance coverage or the
liability insurance protection provided by this lease, and the
failure to promptly comply with such requirement shall entitle
lessor to immediately obtain the necessary insurance, and the cost
thereof shall be additional rent and collectible as such.
56. ASSIGNMENT OR SUBLETTING.
------------------------
A. Subject to Section 56(d) below, Tenant shall not
assign, mortgage or pledge this Lease, nor underlet or sublease the
Premises or any part thereof without the written consent of
Landlord first had and obtained, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed and subject to any
necessary consent of any mortgagee of the Premises; nor after such
written consent has been given shall any assignee or sublessee
assign, mortgage or pledge this Lease or such sublease, or underlet
or sublease the Premises or any part thereof, including, without
limitation, any collateral re-assignment, mortgage or pledge of
this Lease in favor of the previous tenant hereunder, without an
additional written consent by Landlord and such mortgagee. No
assignment or sublease, whether or not consented to in the manner
aforesaid, shall in any way relieve or release Tenant from
liability upon any of the covenants of this Lease, and
notwithstanding any such assignment or sublease, the responsibility
and liability of Tenant hereunder shall continue in full force and
effect until the expiration of the Term.
B. If this Lease is assigned, or if the Premises or any
part thereof are sublet or occupied by anybody other than Tenant,
Landlord shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to collect
rent from the assignee, sublessee or occupant, and apply the amount
collected to the Rent payable hereunder; but no such collection
shall be deemed a waiver of this covenant against assignment and
18
<PAGE>
subletting, or the acceptance of the assignee, sublessee or
occupant as Tenant.
C. If Tenant shall desire to assign this Lease or to
sublet the Premises in whole or in part, Tenant shall submit to
Landlord the following information, accompanied by a written
request for Landlord's consent to such assignment or subletting:
(i) the name and address of the proposed assignee or subtenant;
(ii) a description identifying the space to be sublet and Tenant's
improvements included therein; (iii) the terms and conditions of
the proposed assignment or subletting; (iv) the nature and
character of the business of the proposed assignee or subtenant;
and (v) current financial information and any other information
Landlord may reasonably request with respect to the proposed
assignee or subtenant.
In connection with any assignment, underletting or
sublease for which consent is sought, the following additional
conditions shall be fulfilled:
(i) An Event of Default shall not then, or at the
time such assignment or subletting shall become effective,
have occurred and be continuing.
(ii) In case of a subletting, it shall be expressly
subject to all of the obligations of Tenant under this Lease
and the further condition and restriction that the sublease
shall not be assigned, encumbered or otherwise transferred to
the subleased premises or further sublet by the sublessee in
whole or in part, or any part thereof suffered or permitted
by the sublessee to be used or occupied by others, without the
prior written consent of Landlord in each instance.
D. Every subletting hereunder is subject to the express
condition, and by accepting a sublease hereunder each subtenant
shall be conclusively deemed to have agreed that, if this Lease
should be terminated prior to the end of the stated term or any
renewal term hereof, or if Landlord shall succeed to Tenant's
estate in the Premises, then at Landlord's election the subtenant
shall attorn to and recognize Landlord as subtenant's landlord
19
<PAGE>
under the sublease and the subtenant shall promptly execute and
deliver any instruction Landlord may reasonably request to evidence
such attornment.
E. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary hereinabove
set forth, no assignment of this Lease shall be binding upon
Landlord unless the assignee shall execute and deliver to Landlord
an agreement, in recordable form, whereby such assignee agrees
unconditionally to be bound by and to perform all of the
obligations of Tenant hereunder and further expressly agrees that,
notwithstanding such assignment, the provisions of this Article
shall continue to be binding upon such assignee with respect to all
future assignments and transfers. A failure or refusal of such
assignee to execute or deliver such an agreement in recordable form
shall not release the assignee from its liability for the
obligations of Tenant hereunder assumed by acceptance of the
assignment of this Lease.
F. As a condition to any assignment or sublease being
effective as against Landlord, a fully executed copy of the
assignment or sublease shall be delivered to Landlord before its
effective date.
G. Tenant further agrees, if there shall be a consent
to a proposed assignment or subletting under the provisions of this
Article, and if Tenant shall receive from its assignee any
consideration for the assignment, howsoever designated, or shall
receive from its subtenant any sublet rental, howsoever designated,
which exceeds the rental provided for hereunder, either on a
monthly basis or in the aggregate, or both, including, but not
limited to, all sums paid for the sale or rental of said assignor
or sublessor Tenant's fixtures, leasehold improvements, equipment,
furniture, furnishings or other personal property, Landlord shall
not be entitled to receive any portion of any sums received by
Tenant, which sums shall be the sole and exclusive property of
Tenant.
20
<PAGE>
H. Subject to Subparagraph I hereof and notwithstanding
anything contained in this Article to the contrary, in the event
that Tenant desires to sublease the Premises or assign this Lease
to any other party, the terms and conditions of such sublease or
assignment shall be communicated to Landlord in writing at least
fifteen (15) days prior to the effective date of any such sublease
or assignment, and Landlord shall have the option, exercisable in
writing to Tenant within fifteen (15) days after Landlord's receipt
of said communication, to recapture the Premises which is the
subject of the proposed sublease, and, at the option of Landlord,
to enter into a lease with such prospective sublessee or assignee,
so that such party shall then become the direct tenant of Landlord
hereunder. In the event of such recapture, this Lease shall
terminate as to the space recaptured as of the date thereof, except
for any obligations of Tenant arising prior to such termination or
intended by their terms to survive such termination.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event Landlord elects to
recapture the Premises, Tenant shall have the right to negate said
recapture by giving Landlord notice, within ten (10) days following
the date Tenant receives notice from Landlord of its election to
recapture, that Tenant elects to withdraw its aforesaid request to
assign or sublet, in which event this Lease shall continue in full
force and effect.
(a) Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this
Article 56, the following actions may be taken without the consent
of Landlord: (i) Tenant shall have the absolute right to sublet,
assign or otherwise transfer its interest in this Lease to a
licensee, franchisee or any parent or operating subsidiary of
Tenant, or subsidiary of Tenant's parent, or to a corporation with
which it has committed to merge or consolidate, without Landlord's
approval, written or otherwise; (ii) Tenant shall have the right
to assign or sublet this Lease to an Affiliate of Tenant; and
otherwise grant a security interest in this Lease to a bank,
21
<PAGE>
insurance company or other recognized institutional lender (the
"Secured Creditor"), as collateral security for the performance by
Tenant of its obligations to Secured Creditor in connection with
Tenant's financing but no such assignment, subletting or transfer
shall relieve Tenant of its obligations hereunder.
(b) In connection with any mortgage, assignment or
other security interest in favor of the Secured Creditor, Landlord
will execute and deliver any consents, waivers or other
instruments, and in such form, as the Secured Creditor may
reasonably request to give effect to the Secured Creditor's rights
hereunder; provided, however, that any further assignment or
subletting of or under this Lease by the Secured Creditor following
a default by Tenant under any security agreement in favor of the
Secured Creditor shall be subject to the terms of, and require, the
prior written consent of Landlord under this Article 56.
(c) Anything to the contrary in this Article
notwithstanding, Landlord's consent shall not be required to an
assignment by Tenant of this Lease or a sublease by Tenant of the
whole of the Premises to the purchaser in connection with the sale
of Tenant's business either by way of a sale of assets or stock or
in connection with a merger, consolidation or corporate
reorganization, but in any such event, Tenant shall remain liable
under the terms of this lease.
(d) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Article
56(d) to the contrary, Tenant shall provide Landlord with notice
of any assignment or subletting.
(e) Except as may be effected hereunder, at no time
during the term of this lease shall there be more than two
sublessees occupying the premises or parts thereof, in addition to
the Tenant or the operator of any cafeteria, day care center of
health facility located in the Building and the Premises.
57. DEFAULTS BY TENANT.
-------------------
A. The occurrence of any of the following shall
constitute a default and breach of this Lease by Tenant:
22
<PAGE>
(i) Any failure by Tenant to pay Rent or make any other
payment required to be made by Tenant hereunder within five (5)
days after receipt of written notice from the Landlord.
(ii) A failure by Tenant to observe and perform any other
material provision of this Lease to be observed or performed by the
Tenant, where such failure continues for twenty (20) days after
written notice thereof by Landlord to Tenant, except that this
twenty (20) day period shall be extended for a reasonable period
of time if the alleged default is not reasonably capable of cure
within said twenty (20) day period and Tenant proceeds to
diligently cure the default.
B. In the event of any such default by Tenant, then
Landlord shall be entitled to all of the following remedies:
(i) terminate this Lease by giving written notice of
termination to Tenant, in which event Tenant shall immediately
surrender the Demised Premises to Landlord. If Tenant fails to so
surrender the Demised Premises, then Landlord may, without
prejudice to any other remedy it has for possession of the Demised
Premises or arrearages in Rent or other damages, re-enter and take
possession of the Demised Premises and expel or remove Tenant and
any other person occupying the Demised Premises or any part
thereof, in accordance with applicable law; or
(ii) Landlord may re-enter and take possession of the
Demised Premises without terminating the Lease in accordance with
applicable law, and relet the Demised Premises and apply the Rent
received to the account of Tenant. In the event Landlord so re-
enters and takes possession of the Demised Premises as set forth
above, Landlord agrees to use reasonable efforts to relet the
Demised Premises for a commercially reasonable rate at the time of
such reletting. No reletting by Landlord is considered to be for
Landlord's own account unless Landlord has notified Tenant in
writing that this Lease has been terminated. In addition, no such
reletting to be considered an acceptance of Tenant's surrender of
the Demised Premises unless Landlord so notifies Tenant in writing;
or
23
<PAGE>
(iii) re-enter the Demised Premises without terminating
the Lease and without being liable for any damages, whether caused
by the negligence of Landlord or otherwise, and do whatever Tenant
is obligated to do under the Lease. Tenant shall pay to Landlord,
upon demand, the reasonable expense paid by Landlord in satisfying
Tenant's obligations under the terms of this Lease. Any sums so
expended by Landlord shall bear interest from the date expended
until the date Landlord is repaid.
C. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
in this Lease: (i) Landlord shall not have any right to accelerate
the Rent and other amounts payable hereunder, sue Tenant for any
consequential, punitive or incidental damages, such as any claims
for lost profits and/or lost business opportunity, or sue Tenant
for the cost to renovate the Demised Premises for any prospective
tenant except to correct or remove changes made by Tenant without
Landlord's consent (where required); (ii) in the event of any
default by Tenant under this Lease, Landlord shall in each case use
its reasonable efforts to mitigate its damages.
D. If Landlord obtains possession of the Demised
Premises as a result of the Tenant's abandonment of same or by a
decree from a court of competent jurisdiction, this shall not be
construed as an election to terminate this Lease unless Landlord
provides Tenant with a written notice of this election.
E. If a petition for relief shall be filed by Tenant
pursuant to any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency law or
if Tenant shall be an adjudicated bankrupt, or if Tenant shall make
a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, or if in any
proceeding based upon the insolvency of Tenant, a receiver of
Tenant or its tenant shall be appointed and shall not be discharged
within sixty (60) days thereafter, then Tenant shall be in default
under the terms of this Lease, and Landlord may, to the extent
permitted by law, exercise all rights and remedies available to
Landlord under this Lease or in law or equity occasioned by said
default. If Tenant shall become the subject of any bankruptcy or
insolvency proceeding under any state or federal law, whether or
24
<PAGE>
not pursuant to a petition or other proceeding filed by or on
behalf of Tenant or by any other party, then the Tenant (whether
as debtor in possession or in any other capacity), or any trustee
or other party or entity, acting on behalf of Tenant, or exercising
the rights of Tenant hereunder shall:
(i) Afford to Landlord all rights and benefits to which
Landlord is entitled under any applicable statute or rule,
including, by way of example, cure of existing defaults or adequate
assurance or prompt cure; compensation for pecuniary loss incurred
by Landlord arising as a result of Tenant's acts or adequate
assurance of prompt compensation therefor; adequate assurance of
future performance of Tenant's obligations under this Lease, which
may be secured by the posting of security deposits, advance
payments on account of real estate taxes or other charges as
accrued.
(ii) Timely perform all acts, and make all payments to
Landlord as required by this Lease without exception, subject to
applicable statute or rule.
58. Intentionally Omitted.
----------------------
59. NO REINSTATEMENT.
-----------------
No receipt of moneys by the Landlord from the Tenant
after the termination or cancellation of this lease, in any lawful
manner, shall reinstate, continue or extend the term of this lease,
or affect any notice theretofore given to the Tenant, or operate
as a waiver of the right of the Landlord to enforce the payment of
fixed or additional rent or rents then due, or thereafter falling
due, or operate as a waiver of the right of the Landlord to recover
possession of the leased premises by property suit, action,
proceeding, or remedy. It is agreed that, after the service of
notice to terminate or cancel this lease, or the commencement of
suit, action or summary proceeding, or any other remedy, or after
a final order or judgment for the possession of the leased
premises, Landlord may demand, receive and collect moneys on
account and any moneys so collected shall be deemed to be payments
towards satisfying the Tenant's obligations to the Landlord.
25
<PAGE>
The failure of either party to enforce any agreement,
condition, covenant or term, by reason of its breach by the other
party, after notice had been given, shall not be deemed to void or
affect the right of said party to enforce the same agreement,
condition, covenant or term on the occasion of a subsequent default
or breach.
60. SUBORDINATION AND NON-DISTURBANCE.
----------------------------------
A. This lease shall be subject and subordinate to any
and all mortgages which may now or hereafter affect the Landlord's
interest in the real property of which the Demised Premises form
a part and of all renewals, modifications, consolidations,
replacements and extensions thereof. This clause shall be self-
operative and no further instruments of subordination shall be
required. In confirmation of such subordination, Tenant shall
execute promptly any certificate or instrument that Landlord and/or
the holder of any mortgage may reasonably request to evidence such
subordination.
B. The foregoing subordination as it pertains to any
mortgages hereafter made, which term includes any agreement
modifying any mortgage now in existence or hereafter made, is
expressly contingent upon the agreement of the holder of any such
mortgage, in recordable form, to be delivered to the Tenant, which
agreement shall provide, in pertinent part as follows:
"So long as Tenant is not in default under
this lease beyond any applicable grace and
cure period, which would entitle Landlord to
terminate this lease or would cause, without
any further action of Landlord, the
termination of this lease or would entitle
Landlord to dispossess Tenant thereunder,
mortgagee agrees with the Tenant that the
mortgagee (i) will not disturb the peaceful
and quiet possession of the Premises by Tenant
by reason of any foreclosure or otherwise,
(ii) will not join Tenant as party in any
action or proceeding brought pursuant to the
mortgage and (iii) will release casualty
insurance proceeds and condemnation awards to
which the holder of the mortgage is entitled
under the terms of the mortgage to be applied
toward restoration of the Premises consistent
with the provisions of the lease."
(C) In the event that such mortgagee acquires the
interest of Landlord or comes into the possession of or acquires
26
<PAGE>
title to the Premises by reason of foreclosure, Tenant shall be
bound to mortgagee under all of the provisions of the lease for
the balance of the term thereof with the same force and effect as
if mortgagee was the landlord under the lease, and Tenant agrees
to attorn to the mortgagee as its landlord, such attornment to be
effective and self-operative without the execution of any further
instruments on the part of either of the parties hereto, and
further, in such event, mortgagee shall be bound to the Tenant
under all of the provisions of the lease and Tenant shall, from and
after such event, have the same remedies against mortgagee for the
breach of any agreement contained in the lease that the Tenant
might have had under the lease against the Landlord thereunder.
61. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES.
----------------------
At any time and from time to time either party, upon
request of the other party, will execute, acknowledge and deliver
an instrument, stating, if the same be true, that this Lease is a
true and exact copy of this Lease between the parties hereto, that
there are no amendments hereof (or, if not so, stating what
amendments there may be), that the same is then in full force and
effect and that, to the best of its knowledge, there are no
offsets, defenses or counterclaims with respect to the payment of
Rent reserved hereunder or in the performance of the other terms,
covenants and conditions hereof on the part of Tenant or Landlord,
as the case may be, to be performed (or, if not so, setting forth
those offsets, defenses or counterclaims existing), and that as of
such date no default has been declared hereunder by either party
or if a default has been declared, such instrument shall specify
same. Such instrument will be executed by the other party and
delivered to the requesting party within fifteen (15) days of
receipt, or else the statements made in the proposed estoppel
request shall be deemed to be correct.
The following terms shall have the meanings below
described when used in this lease:
The term "Landlord" as used in this lease means only the
owner of the then current interest of the Landlord in the demised
27
<PAGE>
premises or, as the case may be, the successor thereto from time
to time. In the event of any transfer at any time of the interest
of the Landlord, the transferor shall be and is hereby entirely
freed and relieved of all covenants and obligations of the Landlord
hereunder, and it shall be deemed and construed without further
agreement between the parties and the transferee that the
transferee of the Landlord's interest has assumed and agreed to
carry out any and all covenants and obligations of the Landlord
hereunder.
62. NO WAIVER.
----------
The failure of either party to insist in any one or more
instances upon a strict performance of any of the covenants of this
lease, or to exercise any option herein contained, shall not be
construed as a waiver of, or relinquishment for the future, of the
performance of such covenant, or the right to exercise such option,
but the same shall continue and remain in full force and effect.
The receipt by the Landlord of annual or additional rent, with
knowledge of the breach of any covenant hereof, shall not be deemed
a waiver of such breach. No waiver by either party of any
provision hereof shall be deemed to have been made unless expressed
in writing and signed by said party.
63. OPTION TO RENEW.
----------------
Providing that Tenant is not in default under the terms
of this lease, either at the time of giving such notice or at the
expiration of the original term, Tenant is hereby given the right,
option and privilege to extend the term of this lease for an
additional five year period, by giving written notice to Landlord
by registered or certified mail postmarked at least one year prior
to the expiration of the original term. During said option term,
all of the provisions of this lease shall remain in full force and
effect, except that
(a) there shall be no right on the part of the Tenant for
a further extension, and
(b) there shall be no rent concession during the renewal
term,
28
<PAGE>
(c) the rent shall be increased by the lesser of the
following: (i) $3.00 per sq. ft. of the Building, excluding
storage and archive space (not exceeding 7500 square feet) and
garage space or (ii) increase in the C.P.I. to be determined as
follows: the product derived by multiplying the rental paid during
the last year of the original term by the percentage increase, if
any, in the Consumer Price Index compared to such Index at the
commencement of the initial term of the lease. Such escalation
shall be determined on the first day of the extension period and
shall apply throughout the extension period;
CONSUMER PRICE INDEX: "Consumer Price Index" (CPI) shall
--------------------
mean "Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical
Workers, New York -- Northern New Jersey -- Long Island -- All
Items" as published by the United States Department of Labor,
Bureau of Statistics. If such index shall cease to use the
1982-1984 Index of 100 as the basis for calculation or if a
substantial change is made in the basis for such index, the index
shall be adjusted to reflect such change; and if such index is no
longer available, such annual amount shall be adjusted by such
method as is then being used to measure the value of the dollar for
the New York metropolitan area.
In the event that the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau
of Labor Statistics, changes the publication frequency of the Price
Index (as defined in this section) so that a Price Index is not
available to make a cost-of-living adjustment of annual rent, the
cost-of-living adjustment shall be based on the percentage
difference between the Price Index for the closest preceding month
for which a Price Index is available and the Price Index for the
Base Month.
(d) maintenance escalation shall be increased each year
during said extension at the same rate as the increases are
indicated for the original term (Par. 38(b)).
64. RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL.
-----------------------
Tenant shall have the right of first refusal to purchase
the demised premises but only under the circumstances as
29
<PAGE>
hereinafter in this Article set forth. If, at any time during the
term of this lease, Landlord shall receive a bona fide offer, other
than at public auction, from a third party (which does not have
the power of eminent domain) for the purchase of the demised
premises, which offer Landlord shall desire to accept, Landlord
shall promptly deliver to Tenant a copy of such offer, and Tenant
may, within 10 business days thereafter, elect to purchase the
demised premises on the same terms as those set forth in such
offer. If Tenant shall not accept such offer within the time
herein specified therefor, said right of first refusal shall cease
to exist, but this lease shall continue otherwise on all the other
terms, covenants, and conditions in this lease set forth. If the
transaction with the party who made the offer is not consummated
for any reason, this right of first refusal shall remain in full
force and effect.
In the event Landlord desires to sell the demised
premises, Landlord shall first notify Tenant of its intention.
This right of refusal shall be inapplicable to a
transfer, by way of sale, gift, or devise, including a trust by any
individual having an interest in, or constituting the Landlord,
from any such related party to another but shall apply to any
subsequent transfer to a third person not so defined. For the
purpose of this Article, if the then owner of the demised premises
or a participant in such ownership shall be an individual, a
related party shall include a spouse, lineal descendant or spouse
of such descendant, ancestor or sibling (whether by the whole or
half blood), a partnership of which such owner is a member, a joint
ownership or ownership in common, which includes the then owner of
the demised premises, or partnership, joint venture or corporation,
the majority of whose securities is owned by the owner of the
demised premises, or any one or more of the foregoing parties. If
the then owner of the demised premises shall be a corporation, a
related party shall include an affiliate, subsidiary or parent
corporation, a successor by merger or consolidation, or the holder
or holders of the majority of the securities of such corporation.
30
<PAGE>
If the premises shall be conveyed to the Tenant under
this right of first refusal, any prepaid rent shall be apportioned
and applied on account of the purchase price.
65. SIGNAGE.
--------
A. It is expressly understood and agreed that as an
inducement for Tenant to enter into this Lease that Tenant shall
have the right to install, on the building and existing stonewall,
and elsewhere on the premises, if permitted by law, Tenant's
signage which shall set forth the Tenant's name. All costs and
expenses, including permits, if any, shall be paid by Tenant.
B. Prior to or simultaneously with the execution of
this Lease, Tenant shall submit to Landlord its sign package, which
shall be deemed approved by the Landlord upon Landlord's execution
of this Lease. Landlord will fully cooperate with Tenant in filing
any required signage application, permit and/or variance for said
signage or with respect to the Demised Premises generally. Tenant
agrees that its signage must comply with applicable governmental
requirements.
66. INDEMNIFICATION.
----------------
Each party hereby indemnifies and holds the other party
harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities,
and expenses, including attorney's fees, arising from its
negligence or willful misconduct of its agents, employees or
contractors in or about the Demised Premises.
67. REMEDIES CUMULATIVE.
--------------------
All rights and remedies herein given to the Landlord for
the recovery of the leased premises because of the default by the
Tenant in the payment of any sums which may be payable pursuant to
the terms of this lease, or upon the breach of any of the terms
thereof, or the right to re-enter and take possession of the leased
premises upon the happening of any of the defaults or breaches of
any of the covenants, or the right to maintain any action for rent
or damages and all other rights and remedies allowed at law or in
equity, are hereby reserved and conferred upon the Landlord as
distinct, separate and cumulative remedies, and no one of them,
31
<PAGE>
whether exercised by the Landlord or not, shall be deemed to be in
exclusion of any of the others.
68. BROKER.
-------
The parties agree that this lease was brought about
through the services of Sutton & Edwards, Inc., licensed real
estate brokers in the State of New York. Landlord agrees to pay
commissions to the broker in accordance with a separate written
agreement. Tenant hereby agrees to indemnify Landlord against the
claims of any other broker who claims to have brought this space
to Tenant's attention in connection with the leasing of the
premises concerned herein.
69. NO REPRESENTATIONS.
-------------------
The Tenant is fully familiar with the physical condition
of the leased premises, the building, improvements, fixtures and
equipment thereof, and Tenant takes the demised premises in their
"as is" condition. The Landlord has made no representation
whatsoever in connection with the conditions of the demised
premises or of the buildings, improvements, fixtures or equipment
thereof, except as herein expressly set forth, and the Landlord
shall not be liable for any latent or patent defects therein.
70. SECURITY DEPOSIT.
-----------------
A. Upon the signing of the lease, Tenant shall deposit
with Landlord the sum of One Hundred Eighteen Thousand Seven
Hundred and Fifty ($118,750.00) Dollars, by good check payable to
Landlord, or by Letter of Credit, as provided below, as security
for the full and faithful performance and observance by Tenant of
the terms, provisions and conditions of this lease. If Tenant
defaults in respect of any of the terms, provisions and conditions
of this lease, on its part to be performed or observed, including,
but not limited to, the payment of Fixed Rent and Additional Rent,
Landlord may use, apply or retain the whole or any part of the
security so deposited to the extent required for the payment of any
Fixed Rent and Additional Rent or any other sum as to which Tenant
is in default or for any sum which Landlord may expend or may be
required to expend by reason of Tenant's default in respect of any
32
<PAGE>
of the terms, covenants and conditions of this lease. If Tenant
shall have fully and faithfully complied with all of the terms,
provisions and conditions of the lease as of the Expiration Date,
the security shall be promptly returned to Tenant within thirty
(30) days after the Expiration Date and after delivery by Tenant
of possession of the Premises to Landlord. If Landlord applies or
retains any part of the security so deposited, Tenant, upon demand,
shall deposit with Landlord the amount so applied or retained, so
that Landlord shall have the full deposit on hand at all times
during the term of this lease. Application of the security
deposited by Tenant shall not be deemed to limit Landlord's rights
against Tenant in the event of a default under the terms,
provisions and conditions of this lease. Any cash deposit shall
be placed in an interest bearing account with all interest earned
thereon, less one (1%) percent per annum accruing to the benefit
of Tenant annually.
B. In lieu of a cash security, Tenant shall have the
right during the Term of this Lease to deliver to the Landlord a
clean, irrevocable and unconditional letter of credit (such letter
of credit, and any replacement thereof as provided herein, is
called a "Letter of Credit") issued and drawn upon any commercial
bank reasonably approved by the Landlord with offices for banking
purposes in the City of New York or Nassau County, New York
("Issuing Bank"), which Letter of Credit shall have a term of not
less than one (1) year, to be renewed automatically from year to
year, shall be in form and content reasonably satisfactory to
Landlord and their counsel, for the account of the Landlord and be
in the amount specified above. The Letter of Credit shall provide
that the Issuing Bank shall pay to the Landlord or its duly
authorized representative an amount up to the face amount of the
Letter of Credit upon presentation of an affidavit from an officer
of the Landlord specifying that a default under this lease has
occurred, that Landlord has given the required notice of the
default to Tenant and that Tenant has failed to cure the default
33
<PAGE>
and the Letter of Credit and a sight draft in the amount shall be
drawn and delivered to Landlord.
C. The Letter of Credit will automatically be renewed
for successive periods of one (1) year. In the event that the
Letter of Credit is cancelled by the Issuing Bank for any reason
whatsoever, the Landlord shall receive at least thirty (30) days'
notification of such cancellation from the Issuing Bank. In the
event Tenant shall fail to deliver a replacement Letter of Credit
or Cash in lieu of the cancelled Letter of Credit within fifteen
(15) days of such notification, the Landlord shall have the right
to draw the entire amount of the Letter of Credit and to hold the
proceeds as a cash security deposit pursuant to the terms of this
paragraph.
D. In the event of a sale by the Landlord of the
Building or leasing of the Building, Landlord shall have the right
to transfer either the Letter of Credit or any sums collected
thereunder by Landlord from the Issuing Bank, together with any
other sums then held by Landlord as such security, to the vendee
or lessee, and Landlord thereupon shall be released by Tenant from
all liability under this Article. Tenant agrees to look solely to
the new landlord for the return of the Letter of Credit or any sums
collected thereunder and any other security, and it is agreed that
the provisions hereof shall apply to every transfer or assignment
made of the Letter of Credit or any sums collected thereunder and
any other security to a new landlord.
71. LANDLORD'S WORK: Landlord agrees to perform the
---------------
following work at its sole cost and expense:

facade which would substantially enhance both the front and rear
entrances including new doors, floor materials, design features,

(7) Power wash and clean entire facade of building.
72. Entire Agreement.
-----------------

parties, and any agreement hereafter made shall not operate to
change, modify or discharge this lease in whole or in part unless
such agreement is in writing and signed by the Landlord and Tenant.
73. QUIET ENJOYMENT.
----------------
Tenant, upon paying the rent and performing the other
terms, provisions and covenants of this lease, shall and may, at
all times during the term of this lease, peaceably and quietly
have, hold and enjoy the leased premises free of molestation by the
Landlord.
74. IDA FINANCING.
--------------
Tenant has informed Landlord that it intends to finance
improvements to and fixtures, furniture and equipment in the
Premises by way of a Bond Resolution from the Nassau County
Industrial Development Authority of the State of New York or
other municipal agency. Tenant shall have the right to terminate
this Lease if by January 19, 1995 (the "Finance Termination
Date") Tenant shall not have obtained, at its sole cost and
expense, a Letter of Inducement from Nassau County for the
issuance of Industrial Revenue Bonds covering the improvements to
and fixtures, furniture and equipment in the Premises. Tenant

<PAGE>

CHEYENNE SOFTWARE, INC.
-----------------------
1987 Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan
Originally Adopted August 17, 1987
Adopted by the Board of Directors,
As Amended and Restated, on September 12, 1994
----------------------------------------------
1. Purpose: The purpose of the Cheyenne Software, Inc. 1987 Non-
-------
Qualified Stock Option Plan (the "Plan") as hereinafter set forth, is to enable
Cheyenne Software, Inc. ("CSI"), a Delaware corporation, and its affiliated
companies (hereinafter referred to, individually and/or collectively, as the
"Corporation") to attract, retain, and reward key managerial employees and
consultants, by offering them an opportunity to have a greater proprietary
interest in and closer identity with the Corporation and with its financial
success. Options granted under the Plan are not intended to be qualified stock
options under Internal Revenue Code Sec. 422A. Proceeds of cash or property
received by the Corporation from the sale of Common Stock of CSI pursuant to
options granted under the Plan will be used for general corporate purposes.
2. Administration.
--------------
(a) The plan shall be administered by the Board of Directors
(the "Board") of CSI, or a committee (the "Committee") appointed by the Board.
The Committee shall be composed of not fewer than two (2) directors, all of the
members of such Board, if such Board acts as administrator of the Plan, or
Committee shall be disinterested persons, as defined by the provisions of
subparagraph 2(b). The Committee may have responsibilities in addition to the
administration of the Plan. The Executive or Compensation Committee may be
designated as the Committee which administers the Plan. Subject to the express
provisions of the Plan, the
<PAGE>
Committee may interpret the Plan, prescribe, amend and rescind rules and
regulations relating to it, determine the terms and provisions of respective
participants' agreements (which need not be identical) and make such other
determinations as it deems necessary or advisable for the administration of the
Plan. The decisions of the Committee on matters within their jurisdiction under
the Plan shall be conclusive and binding. No member of the Board or the
Committee shall be liable for any action taken or determination made in good
faith.
(b) The term "disinterested person" as used in this Plan, shall
mean an administrator of the Plan who has not at any time within one year prior
to his/her service as an administrator of the Plan received, and who will not
during the term of his/her service receive, a discretionary grant or award of a
stock option or stock appreciation rights under this Plan, or any other plan or
practice of CSI or any of its affiliates. Any such person shall otherwise
comply with the requirements of Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Securities Act
of 1934, as amended, as from time to time in effect.
3. Eligibility. Options may be granted under this Plan only to
-----------
key managerial employees of the Corporation or its affiliates and to consultants
to the Corporation. The Committee shall determine, within the limits of the
express provisions of the Plan, those key managerial employees and consultants
to whom, and the time or times at which, options shall be granted. The Commit-
tee shall also determine the number of shares to be subject to each option, the
duration of each option, the exercise price (option price) under each option,
the time or times within which (during the term of the option) all or portions
of each option may be exercised, and whether cash, Common Stock, or other
property may be accepted in full or partial payment upon exercise of a stock
option. In making such determinations, the Committee
2
<PAGE>
may take into account the nature of the services rendered by the employee or
consultant, his/her present and potential contributions to the Corporation's
success and such other factors as the Committee in its discretion shall deem
relevant.
4. Common Stock. Options may be granted for a number of shares not
------------
to exceed, in the aggregate, 4,237,500 shares of Common Stock, $0.01 par value,
of CSI, except as such number of shares shall be adjusted in accordance with the
provisions of Section 6 hereof. Such shares may be either authorized but
unissued shares or reacquired shares or other treasury shares. In the event
that any option granted under the Plan expires unexercised, or is surrendered by
a participant for cancellation, or is terminated or ceases to be exercisable for
any other reason without having been fully exercised prior to the end of the
period during which options may be granted under the Plan, the shares thereto-
fore subject to such option, or to the unexercised portion thereof, shall again
become available for new options to be granted under the Plan to any eligible
employee or consultant (including the holder of such former option) at an option
price determined in accordance with Section 5(a) hereof, which price may then be
greater or less than the option price of such former option.
5. Required Terms and Conditions of Options. The options granted
------------------------------------------
under the Plan shall be in such form and upon such terms and conditions as the
Committee shall from time to time determine subject to the provisions of the
Plan, including the following:
(a) Option Price. The option price of each option to purchase
------------
Common Stock shall be at either 100% of the fair market value of the Common
Stock subject to such option at the time such option is granted, or at such
value to be determined in accordance with procedures established by the Commit-
tee; provided that the option price shall in no event be less
3
<PAGE>
than the par value of the Common Stock subject to such option.
(b) Maximum Term. No option shall be exercisable after the
-------------
expiration of seven years from the date it is granted.
(c) Installment Exercise Limitations. At the discretion of the
--------------------------------
Committee, options may become exercisable in such number of cumulative annual
installments as the Committee may establish.
(d) Termination of Option. In the event an optionee shall cease
---------------------
to be employed by the Corporation for any reason other than death, the optionee
shall have the right, subject to the provisions of Sections 5(b) and 6 hereof,
to exercise his option at any time within three months after such cessation of
employment, but only as to such number of shares as to which his option was
exercisable at the date of such cessation of employment. Notwithstanding the
provisions of the preceding sentence, (i) if cessation of employment occurs by
reason of the disability (within the meaning of Section 105(d)(4) of the
Internal Revenue Code), such three month period shall be extended to six months;
and (ii) if employment is terminated at the request of the Corporation for
substantial cause, the participant's right to exercise his option shall termi-
nate at the time notice of termination of employment is given by the Corporation
to such optionee. For purposes of this provision, substantial cause shall
include: (i) the commission of a criminal act against, or in derogation of the
interest of the Corporation, (ii) divulging confidential information about the
Corporation to the public; (iii) interference with the relationship between the
Corporation and any supplier, client, customer or similar person; or (iv) the
performance of any similar action that the Committee, in its sole discretion,
may deem to be sufficiently injurious to the interest of the Corporation to
constitute substantial cause for
4
<PAGE>
termination. If a participant dies while in the employ of the Corporation or
its subsidiaries or within three months after cessation of such employment, his
estate, personal representative or the person that acquires his option by
bequest or inheritance or by reason of his death shall have the right, subject
to the provisions of Section 5(b) and 6 hereof, to exercise his option at any
time within six months from the date of his death, but only as to the number of
shares as to which his option was exercisable on the date of his death. In any
such event, unless so exercised within the period as aforesaid, the option shall
terminate at the expiration of said period. The time of cessation of employment
and whether an authorized leave of absence or absence on military or government
service shall constitute cessation of employment, for the purpose of the Plan,
shall be determined by the Committee.
(e) Method of Exercise. Options may be exercised by giving
------------------
written notice to the Treasurer of CSI, stating the number of shares of Common
Stock with respect to which the option is being exercised and tendering payment
therefor. Payment for Common Stock, whether in cash or other shares of Common
Stock shall be made in full at the time that an option, or any part thereof, is
exercised. Notwithstanding the foregoing, payment for Common Stock may not be
made with other shares of Common Stock acquired through previous exercise of a
stock option under this Plan if such Common Stock has not been held by the
participant at least six months from date of exercise.
6. Adjustments.
-----------
(a) The aggregate of shares of Common Stock with respect to
which options may be granted hereunder and the number of shares of Common Stock
subject to each outstanding option, may all be appropriately adjusted, as the
Committee may determine, for any
5
<PAGE>
increase or decrease in the number of shares of issued Common Stock of CSI
resulting from a subdivision or consolidation of shares whether through reorga-
nization, payment of a share dividend or other increase or decrease in the
number of such shares outstanding effected without receipt of consideration by
CSI; provided, however, that no adjustment in the number of shares with respect
to which options may be granted under the Plan or in the number of shares
subject to outstanding options shall be made except in the event, and then only
to the extent, that such adjustment, together with all respective prior adjust-
ments which were not made as a result of this provision, involves a net change
of more than ten percent (i) from the number of shares of Common Stock with
respect to which options may be granted under the Plan or (ii) with respect to
each outstanding option, from the respective number of shares of Common Stock
subject thereto on the date of grant thereof.
(b) Subject to any required action by the stockholders, if CSI
shall be a party to a transaction involving a sale of substantially all its
assets, a merger or a consolidation, any option granted hereunder shall pertain
to and apply to the securities to which a holder of the number of shares of Com-
mon Stock subject to the option would have been entitled if he actually owned
the stock subject to the option immediately prior to the time any such transac-
tion became effective; provided, however, that all unexercised options under the
Plan may be cancelled by CSI as of the effective date of any such transaction,
by giving notice to the holders thereof of its intention to do so and by
permitting the exercise, during the 30-day period preceding the effective date
of such transaction of all partly or wholly unexercised options in full (without
regard to installment exercise limitations).
(c) In the case of dissolution of CSI, every option outstanding
6
<PAGE>
hereunder shall terminate; provided, however that each option holder shall have
30 days' prior written notice of such event, during which time he shall have a
right to exercise his partly or wholly unexercised option (without regard to
installment exercise limitations).
(d) On the basis of information known to CSI, the Committee
shall make all determinations under this Section 6, including whether a transac-
tion involves a sale of substantially all CSI's assets; and all such determina-
tions shall be conclusive and binding.
7. Option Agreements. Each optionee shall agree to such terms and
-----------------
conditions in connection with the exercise of an option, including restrictions
on the disposition of the Common Stock acquired upon the exercise thereof, as
the Committee may deem appropriate. Option agreements need not be identical.
The certificates evidencing the shares of Common Stock acquired upon exercise of
an option may bear a legend referring to the terms and conditions contained in
the respective option agreement and the Plan, and CSI may place a stop transfer
order with its transfer agent against the transfer of such shares.
8. Certain Legal and Other Requirements.
------------------------------------
(a) The obligation of the Corporation to sell and deliver Common
Stock under options granted under the Plan shall be subject to all applicable
laws, regulations, rules and approvals, including, but not by way of limitation,
the effectiveness of a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933,
or any state securities laws, if deemed necessary or appropriate by the Board,
of the Common Stock reserved for issuance upon exercise of options. Nothing
herein shall be construed to obligate the Corporation to effect any such
registration or qualification. The certificates evidencing the Common Stock
issued upon exercise of options may be legended to indicate a lack of such
registration or qualification. The Corporation may
7
<PAGE>
require any optionee, as a condition of exercising his option, or at any time
thereafter, to represent in writing that he is acquiring (or has acquired) the
Common Stock for his own account and not with a view to distribution; notwith-
standing the foregoing, the Corporation's failure or refusal to request and/or
obtain such representation shall not be construed as a waiver of any provision
hereof.
(b) A participant shall have no rights as a stockholder with
respect to any shares covered by an option granted to, or exercised by, him
until the date of delivery of a stock certificate to him for such shares. No
adjustment other than pursuant to Section 6 hereof shall be made for dividends
or other rights for which the record date is prior to the date such stock
certificate is delivered.
9. Non-transferability. During the lifetime of an optionee, any
-------------------
option granted to him shall be exercisable only by him or by his guardian or
legal representative. No option shall be assignable or transferable, except by
will or by the laws of descent and distribution. The granting of an option
shall impose no obligation upon the employee to exercise such option or right.
10. No Contract of Employment. Neither the adoption of this Plan nor
-------------------------
the grant of any option shall be deemed to obligate the Corporation to continue
the employment of any optionee for any particular period, or to continue to
retain any consultant, nor shall the granting of an option constitute a request
or consent to postpone the retirement date of any employee.
11. Indemnification of Committee. In addition to such other rights
-----------------------------
of indemnification as they may have as Directors or as members of the Committee,
the members
8
<PAGE>
of the Committee shall be indemnified by the Corporation against the reasonable
expenses, including attorneys' fees, actually and necessarily incurred in
connection with the defense of any action, suit or proceeding (or in connection
with any appeal therein) to which they or any of them may be a party by reason
of any action taken or failure to act under or in connection with the Plan or
any option granted hereunder, and against all amounts paid by them in settlement
thereof (provided such settlement is approved by independent legal counsel
selected by the Corporation) or paid by them in satisfaction of a judgment in
any such action, suit or proceeding, except in relation to matters as to which
it shall be adjudged in such action, suit or proceeding that such Committee
member is liable for gross negligence or misconduct in the performance of his
duties; provided that within 60 days after institution of any such action, suit
or proceeding, a Committee member shall, in writing, offer the Corporation the
opportunity, at its own expense, to handle and defend the same.
12. Termination and Amendment of Plan. No options shall be granted
----------------------------------
under the Plan more than ten years after the date the Plan was adopted. The
Board, acting by a majority of its members, exclusive of Board members who are
eligible to receive options, without further action on the part of the stock-
holders, may from time to time alter, amend or suspend the Plan or any option
granted hereunder or may at any time terminate the Plan; provided, however, that
the Board may not (i) change the total number of shares of Common Stock avail-
able for options under the Plan, except as provided in Section 6 hereof, (ii)
extend the duration of the Plan, (iii) increase the maximum term of options,
(iv) decrease the minimum option price or otherwise materially increase the
benefits accruing to participants under the Plan, or (v) materially modify the
eligibility requirements of the Plan; and provided further, that no
9
<PAGE>
such action shall materially and adversely affect any outstanding options
without the consent of the respective optionees.
13. Effective Date.
--------------
(a) The Plan shall become effective upon adoption by the Board;
provided, however, that it shall be submitted for approval by the holders of a
majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Corporation within
twelve months thereafter, and options made available prior to such stockholder
approval shall become null and void if such stockholder approval is not ob-
tained.
(b) The 1991 amendment to paragraph 4 of the Plan shall become
effective as of the date of stockholder approval and adoption of the Plan, as
amended and restated, with the exception of the amendments contained in subpara-
graphs 2(a) and 2(b), which provisions shall become effective as of September 1,
1992.

(b) The Committee shall be authorized (but only to the extent
not contrary to the express provisions of the Plan or to resolutions adopted by
the Board) to interpret the Plan, to prescribe, amend and rescind rules and
regulations relating to the Plan, to determine the recipients, form, and content
of Options to be granted under the Plan, and to make other determinations which
it deems necessary or appropriate for the proper administration of the Plan, and
shall have and may exercise such other powers and authority as may be delegated
to it by the Board from time to time. A majority of the entire Committee shall
constitute a quorum, and the action of a majority of the Committee members
present at any meeting at which a quorum is present shall be the action of the
Committee. All decisions, determinations, and interpretations of the Committee
shall be final and conclusive on all persons affected thereby and shall be
consistent with Code Section 422A.
(c) No member of the Committee shall be liable for any action or
determination made in good faith with respect to the Plan or any Option granted
thereunder.

(d) The President or such other officers of the Company as the
Committee may designate, or a Secretary of the Committee designated by majority
resolution of the Committee, shall execute such certificates, option agreements
and other documents as may be necessary to evidence the decisions of the
Committee and/or implement and carry out the Plan. The President or other
officers of the Company, when so acting, shall be deemed to be acting solely in
a ministerial capacity, and the acts of such officers of the Company shall not
be construed as giving them any discretionary authority over the granting of
Options or the administration of the Plan.
5. Eligibility. Options may be granted to any Employee who, in the
-----------
opinion of the Committee, has or is expected to make key contributions to the
success of the Company. An Employee who has been granted an Option or any other
options or rights, under any other plan or otherwise, may, if otherwise eligi-
ble, be granted additional Options.
6. Terms and Conditions of Options. Options granted pursuant to the
-------------------------------
Plan shall be evidenced by written agreements in such form as the Committee from
time to time shall determine, which agreements shall comply with and be subject
to the following terms and conditions:
(a) Option Price. The price per share at which any Incentive
------------
Stock Option granted under the Plan may be exercised shall not be less than the
fair market value (determined in good faith by the Committee on a basis consis-
tent with the provisions of Section 422A of the Code) of the Underlying Stock at
the time such Option is granted. The exercise price of an Option granted to an
Optionee who owns (within the meaning of Section 425(d) of the Code) more than
10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the
5
<PAGE>
Company, or of any of its Parent or Subsidiary corporations, at the time such
Option is granted shall not be less than 110% of the fair market value of the
Underlying Stock at the time the Option is granted. No Option may be granted at
a price per share which is less than the par value of the Underlying Stock.
(b) Option Term. The term of each Option shall be established
-----------
by the Committee, but shall not in any event exceed seven (7) years from the
date of grant of the Option.
(c) Nontransferability of Options. Options shall by their terms
-----------------------------
not be transferable except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution
and shall be exercisable during an Optionee's lifetime only by the Optionee.
(d) Time of Exercise. No option may be exercised until the
-----------------
second (2nd) anniversary of the date of grant. Not more than 25% of the
Underlying Stock may be purchased prior to the third (3rd) anniversary of the
date of grant, and not more than 50% of the Underlying Stock (including Underly-
ing Stock acquired prior to the 3rd anniversary) may be acquired prior to the
fourth (4th) anniversary of the date of grant.
(e) Other Provisions. The Option agreements authorized under
-----------------
the Plan shall contain such other provisions not inconsistent with the terms of
the Plan, including, without limitation, restrictions upon the exercise of the
Option, as the Committee shall deem advisable. Options may contain other terms
or restrictions as determined by the Committee in its discretion.
7. Exercise of Options.
-------------------
(a) Procedure for Exercise. Options may be exercised in whole
-----------------------
or in part by written notice, delivered by hand or mailed by prepaid registered
or certified mail,
6
<PAGE>
addressed to the President or Secretary of the Company or the Secretary of the
Committee, at the Company's executive offices, which notice shall specify the
date the Option to be exercised was granted and the number of whole Shares to
which such exercise applies. No Option may be exercised to any extent until all
conditions set forth in the Plan and in such Option shall have been satisfied.
(b) Payment. Payment for all Shares purchased by the exercise
-------
of an Option shall be made in cash or by delivery of Shares owned by the
Optionee having an aggregate fair market value on the date of exercise equal to
the aggregate exercise price of the portion of the Option being exercised.
Payment shall be made at the time that an Option or any part thereof is exer-
cised, and no Shares shall be issued until full payment therefor has been made.
No Optionee shall, as such, have any rights as a stockholder of the Company.
(c) Holding Period of Shares Acquired Under Incentive Stock
------------------------------------------------------------
Options. The Committee shall advise each holder of an Option that (i) in order
- -------
for such Option to be treated as an incentive stock option under the Code, the
Shares acquired upon exercise of such Option must not be disposed of until a
date which is at least two years after the date such Option was granted and at
least one year after the date such Shares were acquired by such Optionee, and
that (ii) without written notice, delivered by hand or mailed by prepaid
registered or certified mail, addressed to the President or Secretary of the
Company or the Secretary of the Committee at the Company's executive offices, no
Optionee may dispose of Shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of an Option
within the aforesaid two or one-year periods.
(d) Termination of Employment of an Optionee.
----------------------------------------
(i) Subject to the provisions of subparagraphs (ii)
through (v)
7
<PAGE>
of this paragraph 7(d), if an Optionee's employment with the Company
or a Parent or Subsidiary terminates for any reason, with or without
cause, any Option granted to him shall terminate on the date his
employment terminates.
(ii) Subject to the provisions of subparagraph (iv) of
this paragraph 7(d), if an Optionee dies while in the employ of the
Company or a Parent or Subsidiary, or on approved leave of absence,
his Option may be exercised within three (3) months after his death by
the executor or administrator of the estate of the Optionee or by the
person to whom the Option shall pass by will or by the laws of descent
and distribution, but only to the extent the Optionee was entitled to
exercise the Option on the date of his death. The Company may require
such executor or any other person claiming to be entitled to exercise
the Option pursuant to this subparagraph to furnish such proof of his
or her authority, including a bond or indemnity agreement, as the
Company may reasonably require. The cost of any such bond shall be
the responsibility of the persons seeking to exercise the Options.
(iii) Subject to the provisions of subparagraph (iv) of this
paragraph 7(d), if an Optionee's termination of employment with the
Company and its Parent or Subsidiary shall be by reason of his perma-
nent and total disability (within the meaning of Section 422A(c)(7) of
the Code), any Option shall terminate upon the expiration of twelve
(12) months after the date on which the Optionee's employment is
terminated, and may be exercised by a conservator, guardian or other
fiduciary ("Legal Representative") duly appointed to act on behalf of
the
8
<PAGE>
Optionee. The Company may require such Legal Representative to
furnish such proof of his or her authority, including a bond or
indemnity agreement, as the Company may reasonably require. The cost
of any such bond shall be the responsibility of the persons seeking to
exercise the Options.
(iv) Notwithstanding the provisions of subparagraphs (ii) and
(iii) of this paragraph 7(d) or any other provisions of this Plan, in
no event may an Option be exercised by anyone after five (5) years
from the date it was granted.
(v) Nothing in the Plan or in any Option shall confer upon any
Optionee the right to continue in the employ of the Company or any
Parent or Subsidiary or interfere in any way with the right of the
Company or such Parent or Subsidiary to terminate the employment of an
Optionee at any time. The Committee's determination that an Optione-
e's employment has terminated and the date thereof shall be final and
conclusive on all persons affected thereby.
8. Changes in Capital. If the outstanding Common Stock subject to
------------------
the Plan shall at any time be changed or exchanged by declaration of a stock
dividend, stock split, combination of shares, recapitalization, merger, consoli-
dation or other corporate reorganization in which the Company is the surviving
corporation, the number and kind of shares subject to this Plan and the option
prices shall be appropriately and equitably adjusted so as to maintain the
option price thereof. In the event of a dissolution or liquidation of the
Company or a merger, consolidation, sale of all or substantially all of its
assets, or other corporate reorganization in which the Company is not the
surviving corporation, or any merger in which the Company is the surviving
corporation but the holders of the Common Stock receive securities of another
9
<PAGE>
corporation, any outstanding options hereunder shall terminate, provided that
each Optionee shall, in such event, if no provision has been made for a substi-
tution pursuant to the following sentence, have the right immediately prior to
such dissolution, liquidation, merger, consolidation, sale of assets or reorga-
nization in which the Company is the surviving corporation but the holders of
its Common Stock receive securities of another corporation, to exercise any
unexpired option in whole or in part without regard to the date on which the
option otherwise would be first exercisable. Nothing herein contained shall
prevent the substitution of a new option by the surviving corporation. The
existence of the Plan or options hereunder shall not in any way prevent any
transaction described herein and no holder of an option shall have the right to
prevent any such transaction.
9. Time of Granting Options. The date of grant of an Option under
-------------------------
the Plan shall, for all purposes, be the date specified in such grant. Notice
shall be given to each Employee to whom an Option has been granted within a
reasonable time after the date of such grant.
10. Effective Date, Approval of Stockholders.
----------------------------------------
(a) The Plan shall become effective immediately upon adoption by
the Board, subject to the approval by the stockholders of the Company within 12
months after the adoption of the Plan by the Board. The Plan shall continue in
effect for a term of 10 years from the date the Plan is adopted by the Board.
(b) The 1991 amendment to paragraph 3 of the Plan shall become
effective as of the date of stockholder approval and adoption of the Plan, as
amended and restated, with the exception of the amendments contained in subpara-
graph 4(a), which provisions
10
<PAGE>
shall become effective as of September 1, 1992.
11. Modification of Options. At any time and from time to time the
-----------------------
Board may authorize the Committee to direct execution of an instrument providing
for the modification, extension, or renewal of any outstanding Option; provid-
ed, however, that no such modification, extension, or renewal shall confer on
the Optionee any right or benefit which could not then be conferred on him by
the grant of a new Option nor shall it impair such Option without the consent of
the Optionee.
12. Amendment and Termination of the Plan. The Board may alter,
----------------------------------------
suspend, or discontinue the Plan, except that no action of the Board may
increase (other than as provided in paragraph 10 hereof) the maximum number of
Shares subject to Options or available for the grant of Options under the Plan,
reduce the applicable minimum exercise price, extend the maximum period within
which Options may be exercised under the Plan, or change the designation of
persons eligible to receive Options under the Plan, unless such action of the
Board shall be subject to approval or ratification by the stockholders of the
Company. No action of the Board shall, without the consent of the Optionee,
impair any then outstanding Option.
13. Conditions Upon Issuance of Shares. No Shares shall be delivered
----------------------------------
pursuant to the exercise of any Option unless the delivery of such Shares shall
comply (in the opinion of counsel to the Company) with all relevant provisions
of law, including, without limitation, the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, any applicable state securi-
ties laws, and the requirements of any stock exchange upon which the Common
Stock may then be listed. As a condition to the exercise of an Option, the
Company may require the exercising Optionee to make such written representations
and
11
<PAGE>
warranties as may be necessary to assure the availability of an exemption from
any registration requirements of federal or state securities laws. Certifi-
cates representing Shares issued upon the exercise of any Option may bear a
legend restricting transfer of the Shares except in compliance with Federal and
State securities statutes or an exemption therefrom, if available; failure of
any certificates to contain such a legend shall not constitute a waiver by the
Company of any such registration requirements. The Company, in its discretion,
may require any Optionee to bear (i) his or her proportionate share of the
Company's costs of the registration of his Underlying Shares under the Securi-
ties Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act") or any other federal or state securi-
ties laws, or (ii) the Company's cost of obtaining the opinion of its legal
counsel (not in excess of $500 per transaction for sales effected prior to
January 1, 1994, nor in excess of $1,000 per transaction thereafter) as to the
availability of any exemption from the Act or any other applicable federal or
state securities laws. The foregoing shall not be construed to obligate the
Company to effect any registration under the Act or other securities laws.
14. Gender and Number.
-----------------
(a) The use of any gender herein shall be construed to include
all other genders, unless the context clearly indicates that less than all the
genders is intended.
(b) The use of the singular or of the plural herein shall be
construed to include both the singular and the plural, unless the context
clearly indicates that only the singular or only the plural is intended.
