PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
Octel Communications Corporation (Octel or the Company) is a world leader
in voice processing technology, with a market share estimated by Dataquest to be
approximately 23%. Octel's voice processing technology integrates with both
telephone and data networks. The Company's broad array of products and services
allows users to communicate more effectively by making it simple to deliver and
exchange information over world-wide communications networks. Over 29 million
Octel mailboxes have been deployed in over 40 countries. The Company sells and
supports hardware and software and is a major provider of voice messaging
services in both the public and private sectors. The Company's products and
services enable people to send voice and fax messages to each other and to have
their telephones and fax calls answered by a voice mail system. Octel's 18,000
customers include many small and medium-sized businesses, large international
corporations (including over 70% of the Fortune 50), universities, governments,
major telephone companies and many major cellular providers worldwide.
The Company was reincorporated in Delaware in December 1989 as the
successor to a California corporation and a related corporation and research and
development limited partnership first formed in 1982.
INTRODUCTION
Over the past few years, the communications environment has broadened
substantially. The demand for communications has created many different options
such as voice messaging, telephone answering, telecommunications, fax, paging,
overnight couriers, radio systems, postal delivery systems and the Internet for
both business and personal use. Because of information's great importance,
communication tools are more pervasive and important in people's lives than ever
before. The Company's customers use voice messaging technology to meet a number
of objectives, including increased efficiency, improved customer service,
enhanced business competitiveness, increased operating flexibility and greater
employee productivity. Voice messaging allows the user to be accessible 24 hours
a day. With fax processing capabilites, subscribers can efficiently receive,
store, retrieve and redirect fax documents using any touch-tone phone.
Voice messaging has a number of advantages over electronic mail (e-mail)
and other communication mediums. Voice messaging:
- - TAKES ADVANTAGE OF THE ACCESSABILITY OF THE TELEPHONE TO SEND AND RECEIVE
MESSAGES. Users can send or listen to voice messages from nearly any
telephone at any time. E-mail requires that users have access to a
computer. Computer access while traveling or at home can be inconvenient or
not readily available.
- - IS SIMPLE, FAST AND CONVENIENT. Speech is one of our most basic skills.
Voice messaging allows users to take advantage of this skill and to convey
emotions, humor, subtlety and nuance in a message-characteristics that are
much more difficult to duplicate in a written format. Furthermore, voice
messages are quick and easy to create and send.
- - DOESN'T REQUIRE A "REAL-TIME" SCHEDULE. With messaging, one party sends a
message when it is convenient for them; the receiving party (or group)
listens to the message and responds at their convenience. There is no need
to arrange for a time that is mutually convenient for all parties, and so
communications need not be deferred until everyone is available. This
ability is especially useful when traveling or messaging across time zones.
- - IS IDEALLY SUITED FOR MESSAGING TO GROUPS. In the developed parts of the
world, nearly everyone has a telephone. In developing regions, many people
are gaining access to phone lines through wireless services. As a result, a
single voice message can be distributed to a broad audience.
4
<PAGE> 5
- - USES FIXED LINE AND WIRELESS TELEPHONE NETWORKS TO SEND AND RECEIVE
MESSAGES. These networks are generally more pervasive and reliable than
data communications networks such as the Internet, on-line services and
in-house networks.
Voice messaging is increasingly available to small businesses and homes via
telephone and cellular providers. Despite these advances, it is still difficult
to connect incompatible systems internally and externally and to interconnect
global sites. The Company believes this has been a barrier to effective
messaging. Over the past three years, the Company has endeavored to develop a
network that would allow seamless voice messaging among disparate systems and
ultimately allow messaging to anyone with a telephone number and networking
capability. With the introduction of OcteLink services in July 1995, the barrier
to effective messaging is being overcome. Using OcteLink provides ubiquitous
message exchange regardless of the voice processing system used or its location.
CORPORATE STRATEGY
Broad Product Line
After becoming a publicly traded company in 1988, Octel pursued a strategy
of both vertical and horizontal integration. Having developed the broadest range
of voice processing systems in the industry, Octel acquired several companies
which expanded the range of its product and service offerings. In 1992, the
Company merged with the PC Products Division (OPCPD, formerly Compass), a
software developer and marketer of personal computer (PC) based voice processing
systems. In 1992, the Company also acquired Octel Network Services (ONS,
formerly Tigon), from Ameritech, a Regional Bell Operating Company (RBOC) based
in Chicago, Illinois. ONS specializes in the outsourcing and management of voice
messaging systems.
In March 1994, the Company merged with VMX, Inc. (VMX), a designer,
manufacturer and marketer of integrated voice mail systems and software
products. The VMX product lines were integrated with Octel's product line in
early fiscal 1996. As part of the merger, the Company also acquired VMX's
subsidiary, Rhetorex, a designer and manufacturer of voice processing components
for PCs including board-level hardware and operating system software.
The Company has also acquired certain intellectual and personal property
from other companies such as its fiscal 1992 acquisition of a provider of
interactive voice response technology in Israel and its fiscal 1995 acquisition
of certain assets of a French software company which provides voice processing
solutions for the Voice Information Services (VIS) marketplace.
The key strengths of Octel's broad product and service offerings are its:
- - LARGE INSTALLED BASE/GLOBAL PRESENCE: With over 45,000 systems installed
at more than 18,000 customers in over 40 countries, Octel has a large
installed base from which it may derive future revenues in the form of
upgrade options, replacement products and new technology enhancements.
- - BROAD PRODUCT LINE: Octel's solutions meet the needs of emerging
companies, small- to medium-sized businesses with satellite offices and
branch offices, and multinational corporations with large branch offices
and subsidiaries worldwide. Recently, the Company consolidated its Octel
and VMX products into a single product family called the Octel Overture
Message Server family. These products are scalable, designed for
multi-application environments and support the most widely deployed
messaging software in the world. In addition to the Overture product
family, the Company also designs and sells the Sierra system, which is a
multi-application voice information processing system specifically designed
to meet the special needs of telephone companies and other VIS customers.
- - COMPATIBILITY WITH PUBLIC BRANCH EXCHANGE (PBX) SYSTEMS: Octel's voice
messaging systems work with nearly every brand of PBX system in the world.
5
<PAGE> 6
- - UPGRADEABILITY: Octel's voice messaging solutions enable businesses of all
sizes to protect their technology investments and to expand and grow as
their needs change. For example, customers who invested in Octel's original
Aspen system eleven years ago can migrate to one of the new Octel Overture
Message Servers without losing some important resources - their voice mail
database information, applications, software features, voice recordings and
messages. Furthermore, Octel's Capacity On Demand (COD) software allows
customers to enable additional message storage hours, system mailboxes and
fax capabilities on an as-needed basis.
- - ENTERPRISE-WIDE NETWORKING: As corporations move toward distributed,
enterprise-wide information systems, networking capabilities become even
more crucial. Via OctelNet, the Company's networking software application,
Octel customers on Octel systems at different locations can exchange
messages. Via "digital networking," customers can use their existing Local
Area Network (LAN) and Wide Area Network (WAN) infrastructure to transfer
voice messages between users. This serves to improve speed and voice
quality while leveraging existing technology investments to reduce costs.
In the future, it is anticipated that the integration of voice on the
information superhighway will allow voice and fax messages to be accessed,
manipulated and transferred just like any other digital data by devices of
all types - from desktop computers to personal digital assistants. The
Company's Digital Networking, announced in March 1995, represents a key
component of Octel's vision to bring voice processing to enterprise
networks worldwide. Octel is continuing to enhance its product lines and
plans to introduce digital networking on all product platforms in the next
few years.
- - OCTEL NETWORK SERVICES: ONS is the largest voice messaging outsourcing
organization in the world. It performs millions of messaging transactions
for approximately 900,000 end users from more than 600 customers on a daily
basis. An increasing number of the Company's GBS and VIS customers are
recognizing the benefits of outsourcing the management of their voice mail
networks. ONS provides complete voice mail network management, disaster
recovery, voice processing services, operations management, systems
administration and project management.
- - STRONG DISTRIBUTION PARTNERS: Octel has a strong distribution network to
reach corporations, governments and institutions through a combination of
direct sales, independent distributors and original equipment manufacturers
(OEMs) in the United States and international markets.
- - COMPLETE SOLUTION: The Company competes in two major markets: Global
Business Solutions (GBS) for corporations, institutions and governments and
VIS for service providers. Furthermore, Octel provides software, hardware,
outsourcing and customer services and support to customers in both GBS and
VIS markets giving the Company a broad infrastructure to support customers'
voice messaging needs globally.
Octel's Messaging Strategy
In July 1995, Octel introduced OcteLink, a revolutionary new form of global
voice message exchange. Octel's ultimate goal is to link all voice messaging
systems and services together over the telephone network so that anyone,
anywhere with access to a telephone and networking capability - regardless of
protocol, system size or geographic location - will be able to send a voice
message to anyone else.
Octel has developed a two-pronged approach to address this global messaging
strategy:
- - First, Octel is developing "unified messaging" products for voice, fax and
e-mail messaging. Unified messaging essentially unites voice, fax and
e-mail messaging together in a client/server architecture using standard PC
and LAN technology. This integration brings together several discrete
technologies into a single mailbox that provides user access from a
telephone or a PC. In May 1995, Octel announced the first component of its
unified messaging technology. Octel's first implementation of unified
messaging will be available on Microsoft Exchange, a LAN-based,
enterprise-wide messaging architecture.
- - Second, Octel's goal is to expand the messaging network beyond traditional
user boundaries. Octel has developed OcteLink - the world's first
"messaging post office" that allows the interconnection of virtually any
voice mail system, regardless of protocol, system size or geographic
location. OcteLink's global message
6
<PAGE> 7
exchange is intended to make it easier to send or receive voice mail, fax
and, in the future, e-mail messages. This global messaging network is
designed to link commercial, residential and institutional customers
worldwide.
Strategic Business Units
Octel has historically focused on two principal customer markets: Global
Business Solutions (formerly Customer Premise Equipment) and Voice Information
Services. At the same time, the Company continued to broaden its product line to
address these markets. Accordingly, in fiscal 1995, the Company's management was
reorganized to center on three Strategic Business Units which are focused on
serving the specific needs of the respective markets:
Global Business Solutions (GBS). GBS markets include small to large
corporations, institutions and government agencies worldwide. Octel's GBS group
provides a wide range of voice messaging hardware, software and services to a
number of these customers. Product sales to the corporate market include
proprietary systems designed to meet the communications needs of mid-sized to
large-sized domestic and international corporations, PC-based voice messaging
systems for small businesses from OPCPD and components to Value Added Resellers
(VARs) and OEMs from the Company's Rhetorex subsidiary.
Voice Information Services (VIS). Octel's VIS group provides a wide range of
voice processing hardware, software and services to voice information service
providers such as RBOCs, independent telephone companies, wireless
communications companies and service bureaus around the world. The VIS group
also pursues opportunities in the international market for "virtual telephone"
applications. Such applications use the voice mailbox as a substitute for
simultaneous communication in those countries in which basic telephone service
is difficult or costly to obtain.
Both the GBS and VIS business units provide services to customers including
maintenance, spares and support, educational and consulting services.
Maintenance, spares and support operates a 24-hour Customer Services Center in
San Jose, California focused on providing domestic GBS customers the highest
"system availability" utilizing the latest call center technology and training.
Educational Services offers both classroom-based and computer-based training
programs in the United States and Europe that allow customers to leverage their
investments in the Company's products. Consulting Services offers fee-based
services to design and develop sophisticated call processing business solutions
for both GBS and VIS customers.
Services. This strategic business unit is comprised of ONS and OcteLink and
sells to customers in both the GBS and the VIS markets. The Company's ONS
division is a leading provider of voice information processing services and
private network management to organizations wishing to outsource their voice
processing needs. ONS operates its own independent voice processing network that
spans the United States and provides international links to Canada, Europe,
Japan and Australia. OcteLink is a global message exchange intended to make it
easier to send or receive voice mail, fax and, in the future, e-mail messages.
This global messaging network is designed to link commercial, residential and
institutional customers worldwide.
CUSTOMER BASE
By the end of fiscal 1995, Octel had an installed base of over 45,000
systems in more than 40 countries, representing a total of over 29 million
mailboxes. No single customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company's total
net revenues for fiscal 1995, 1994 or 1993.
The Company's GBS customers account for over 9 million mailboxes worldwide.
Corporate customers include over 35 companies in the Fortune 50 group, including
Amoco, General Electric, Hewlett-Packard and Prudential Insurance.
The Company's VIS customers are comprised of 130 service providers in 25
countries, including six of the seven RBOCs and all major Canadian telephone
companies. In Europe, Octel is strong in providing voice processing services to
Europe's Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) cellular network and its
7
<PAGE> 8
emerging business and residential markets. VIS customers include AT&T Wireless
(formerly McCaw Cellular), Cambridge Cable, Leicester Cable, Mannesmann
Mobilfunk (Germany), New Zealand Telecom, Piltel (Philippines), Radiolinja
(Finland), Telcel (Mexico), Telecom Italia (formerly SIP), U.S. West and Vodacom
(South Africa). Octel has more than 20 million mailboxes deployed with over 15
million subscribers in the VIS market.
PRODUCTS
Octel's broad product family ranges from two-port systems for as few as 20
subscribers to 432-port systems for up to 120,000 subscribers in certain VIS
applications.
GBS Products
Octel recently consolidated all Octel and VMX products into a single
product family with increased functionality and COD software via the
introduction of the Octel Overture family of message servers. These message
servers consolidate eleven different products into a family of five servers and
three software products designed to provide customers with better
price/performance, greater flexibility for system expansion, enhanced management
tools and Octel's 24-hour-per-day, seven-day-per-week service and support. The
new Octel Overture product line offers common features, one of two caller
interfaces for those calling into an Octel system, a common pricing arrangement
and a common networking scheme via the OctelNet protocols and the new OcteLink
global messaging networks.
The GBS offering currently includes the Octel Overture PC, Overture 200,
Overture 250, Overture 300 and Overture 350. Overture products feature one of
the following user interfaces: Octel Overture PC offers the Performer interface;
Octel Overture 200 and 300 products offer the Serenade interface; Octel Overture
250 and 350 products offer the Aria interface.
- - OCTEL OVERTURE PC (formerly Call Performer Plus) is a PC-based system
designed for small branch offices and remote sites.
- - OCTEL OVERTURE 200 (formerly the VMX 200) is a mid-level system designed
for small-to-medium-sized offices and branch sites.
- - OCTEL OVERTURE 250 (new product announced in July 1995 which replaces
Branch, Aspen and Maxum) is a mid-level system designed for medium-sized
businesses or large branch offices in the U.S., Canada and the United
Kingdom.
- - OCTEL OVERTURE 300 (formerly the VMX 300) is a mid- to high-end system
designed for larger companies or institutions worldwide.
- - OCTEL OVERTURE 350 (formerly the Aspen XC1000) is a high-end system
designed for Fortune 500 companies in the United States and Canada.
- - SOFTWARE SETS: Overture software products are now called Aria (replaces
Aspen); Serenade (replaces D.I.A.L.) and Performer.

- ------------------
(1) The number of users actually supported will depend upon the specific
customer application.
As Octel focuses on high value software applications, the Company will be
shifting the value of its GBS product offerings from hardware to software. An
example of this software focus is COD, a feature that provides lower entry costs
and greater scalability. With it, users can easily and cost-effectively expand
the capacity of their message servers as their needs change.
Octel has developed integrations which permit its systems to be compatible
with, and to communicate directly with, virtually all major brands of PBX
telephone systems, central office switches and cellular telephone switches.
Integration enables the customer's voice information processing systems to
exchange data with telephone switches from different manufacturers. Integration
is necessary to permit several important voice processing features. It allows
the caller to reach a subscriber's mailbox directly without dialing the
subscriber's extension or mailbox number and allows message notification at the
subscriber's telephone.
VIS Products
Octel's high-capacity Sierra platform is designed to meet the special needs
of RBOC and independent telephone companies and other VIS providers by
supporting multiple voice processing applications from within a single platform.
Sierra is designed to be expandable to suit market growth and be capable of
handling a very large number of subscribers. Sierra is also designed to meet
Bellcore's Network Equipment Building Systems (NEBS) standards. When configured
into a three-unit cluster, the Sierra currently supports up to 120,000
subscribers, 432 ports and 2,016 message storage hours.
Client/Server Architecture for Integrated Messaging. In order to make its
VIS product line more complete, Octel intends to expand the benefits,
performance and capabilities of its Sierra platform with a next-generation
client/server architecture, scheduled for first-phase release in fiscal 1996.
This first phase release is intended to allow VIS service providers to build
voice messaging "networks" that support millions of messaging subscribers on a
single platform.
Unlike closed architectures that inhibit the integration of new
technologies into networks, Octel's open architecture will be designed to
provide for flexible, integrated service creation for adding multiple new
technologies or network platforms. It will offer faster and less expensive
service creation for large subscriber bases, enabling service providers to
create customized applications more easily for various countries or communities
of interest.
The architecture will consist of a UNIX/RISC-based application that serves
as a dedicated service creation environment, a new back-end database server for
running the new application and a specialized Sierra Media Server that will
store and process voice and fax messages. All of the stand-alone elements are
based on object-oriented technology - thereby providing developers with an easy
to use point-and-click graphical environment that makes application development
far easier. Octel's new client/server architecture will offer:
9
<PAGE> 10
- - an open, flexible service creation environment
- - scalable integrated services
- - seamless, transparent network offerings
- - high-performance client/server database
The Company believes that the timely introduction and market acceptance of
its next-generation client/server architecture is a key factor in determining
the Company's success in the VIS market, and the Company is focusing significant
resources and talent on developing and bringing products using this architecture
to market. However, there can be no assurance that introduction of products
using this architecture will not be delayed, allowing competitors to gain a
market share advantage, or that such products will be successful in the
marketplace.
Services
ONS. ONS is the largest voice messaging outsourcing organization in the
world. ONS operates its own independent voice processing network that spans the
United States and provides international links to Canada, Europe, Japan and
Australia. ONS performs millions of messaging transactions for approximately
900,000 end users from more than 600 customers on a daily basis. An increasing
number of the Company's GBS and VIS customers are recognizing the benefits of
outsourcing the management of their voice mail networks. Some of the reasons
companies are outsourcing include the customer's desire to focus on its core
business, manage risk, control costs, improve overall quality, provide a
guaranteed service level or to respond to a lack of internal resources. ONS
provides complete voice mail network management, disaster recovery, voice
processing services, operations management, systems administration and project
management.
OcteLink. In July 1995, Octel Services introduced OcteLink, the world's
first network that interconnects virtually any voice messaging system with
networking capability, regardless of protocol, system size or geographic
location. OcteLink makes possible a global network and an administrative,
service and support infrastructure that enables customers to link their voice
processing and other messaging systems to Octel's network easily. Messages are
sent to an OcteLink hub or "messaging post office" that processes and forwards
the message to the appropriate recipient. The OcteLink hubs are connected via
high-speed, digital data links designed for high-quality, rapid transport of
messages. These post office hubs connect voice processing and other messaging
systems, sort traffic and efficiently direct each message to its destination.
The hub acts as a multimedia gateway - accepting voice, fax and, in the future,
e-mail with delivery based on the recipient's terminal of choice: telephone
(hard-wired or cellular), PC, personal digital assistant (PDA), laptop or fax
machine.
Like the Internet, OcteLink is based upon a strong existing infrastructure.
In Octel's case, the network foundation is its private telecommunications
network service: ONS, the world's largest voice mail service and outsourcing
organization.
OcteLink currently supports OctelNet, Octel analog and Audio Messaging
Interchange Specifications (AMIS) messaging. Support for the Internet as a
delivery network and additional voice mail and communications protocols is
planned for the future. Octel will also make its protocols available to other
vendors under licensing arrangements so that messages can be transmitted more
easily.
Although the Company believes OcteLink is a viable global messaging
network, there is currently no reliable data regarding the demand for such
services in multiple customer segments. Furthermore, there is no assurance that
demand for a global messaging network will not be slow to materialize or that
potential competitors will not successfully introduce alternative solutions to
OcteLink that achieve better market acceptance.
SALES, CUSTOMER SUPPORT AND WARRANTIES
The Company sells and supports its voice processing systems through direct
sales, independent distributors, VARs and OEM providers. This strategy reduces
Octel's dependence on any single sales channel and is designed to improve market
coverage and customer satisfaction for the Company's products. Direct sales
operations in the United States are conducted from approximately 40 field
offices and international direct sales operations are conducted from 11
10
<PAGE> 11
offices. The Company's domestic GBS sales force is structured into four
geographic areas, with each group responsible for sales - distributor, direct,
and national account - within its area. A separate sales force is focused on
opportunities in the domestic VIS market. Sales outside the United States are
structured into three geographic territories - Canada, Europe and
Intercontinental, which includes Asia-Pacific and Latin America.
The Company believes that its network of distributors, VARs and OEM
providers represents an important part of its overall sales strategy and that
the loss of, or changes in the relationship with, or performance by, one or more
of these sales channels could have an adverse effect on the Company's revenues
and operating results. Distributors purchase products at discounts and,
accordingly, the Company's operating margins can vary depending upon the mix
between distributor and direct sales in any particular operating period. The
Company anticipates that this mix will fluctuate in future operating periods.
The Company offers a leasing alternative to its customers through its
leasing division, Octel Capital. Customers who wish to lease the Company's
products may do so using financing options available through the Company's sales
organization.
Sales outside the United States were approximately 25%, 24% and 24% of net
revenues for fiscal 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. In fiscal 1995 and 1994,
the majority of international sales were made in the United Kingdom and Canada.
In fiscal 1993, the Company had substantial sales in Italy and the United
Kingdom, as well as in Canada. In fiscal 1994, the Company formed wholly owned
subsidiaries in Japan and Hong Kong to sell to customers in Japan and other
Asia-Pacific countries. In addition, in December 1993, the Company and Alcatel
Austria AG signed a joint product development and distribution agreement,
pursuant to which Alcatel distributes and supports the Company's voice
information processing products outside the United States and Canada.
The Company's Customer Services Organization includes field engineers,
customer support specialists and applications consultants who together provide
installation and implementation assistance to end-user customers and
distributors. This organization also administers technical software courses,
system maintenance courses and customer support courses.
The Company provides a warranty for parts and labor on its products which
is generally for 12 months from date of shipment (or, if the Company installs
the product, generally for 12 months from the date of installation). The Company
maintains and services its products on a contractual basis after the initial
product warranty has expired. Warranty and post-warranty service is provided
directly to customers from Octel's district sales offices and through
distributors, supplemented by major Octel support centers in California, the
United Kingdom and Ontario, Canada. The Company maintains inventories of spare
parts at a number of locations in the United States and internationally,
including all Octel facilities and distributor locations, in order to provide
prompt service. The Company operates a telephone support center 24 hours per day
in San Jose, California to respond to requests for problem definition and
resolution.
ONS provides network management solutions throughout the United States to
large corporate customers and selected foreign locations of its domestic
customers, federal, state and local governments and not-for-profit
organizations. Customers may choose to outsource their voice processing
requirements completely through ONS rather than buy or lease equipment. ONS also
provides services to Ameritech, the RBOC in the midwestern section of the United
States. Through international marketing partners, ONS provides access from
Australia, Europe and Japan to its voice processing network. ONS also provides
complete voice processing services on a private-label basis for resale by VIS
providers.
BACKLOG
The Company's backlog at June 30, 1995 was $74.4 million compared to $72.2
million at June 30, 1994. The Company measures its backlog as confirmed orders
for equipment, maintenance contracts and Octel Network Services for the next six
months. An increasing portion of the backlog is from the services business,
which is more predictable and reduces dependence from quarter to quarter on
systems business. Because of the possibility of customer changes in delivery
schedules or cancellation of orders, the Company's backlog as of any particular
date may
11
<PAGE> 12
not be indicative of actual revenues for any future period. The Company believes
that its backlog on a quarterly basis will not generally be large enough to
assure that its revenue targets for a particular quarter will be met.
Furthermore, a large percentage of any quarter's shipments are booked in the
last month of the quarter. Consequently, quarterly revenues and operating
results will depend on the volume and timing of new orders received during a
quarter, which are difficult to forecast. This is particularly true in the VIS
marketplace, where sales orders are generally larger. Fourth quarter revenues
are typically enhanced by sales incentives provided to employees and promotion
programs for customers, while first quarter sales are traditionally not as
strong. This seasonal pattern is likely to continue.
COMPETITION
The voice information processing industry is highly competitive and the
Company believes that competition from new and existing competitors will
continue to intensify. The Company competes with different companies in the
different customer markets it serves and the principal competitive factors vary
depending on the customer market. The Company believes that competition to date
for the sale of voice information processing systems in its principal customer
markets has been based on product features, system performance, product quality
and reliability, price, service and post-sales support, and marketing and
distribution capabilities. The Company believes that it competes favorably with
respect to these competitive factors.
Global Business Solutions
In the corporate and institutional markets, Octel competes primarily with
two types of companies: PBX manufacturers including AT&T, Northern Telecom
Limited and Siemens Rolm Communications, Inc.; and independent voice processing
manufacturers, such as Centigram Communications Corporation, as well as
PC-based system suppliers, including Active Voice Corporation and Applied
Voice Technology, Inc. (AVT).
The PBX manufacturers sell voice processing products that integrate
principally with their own PBXs. These companies have considerably greater
financial, technical, marketing and sales resources than the Company, and may
have a competitive advantage when customers are purchasing a voice processing
system at the same time they are purchasing a new PBX. They also benefit from
the large installed base of their own brands of PBXs. PBX manufacturers have
intensified their competitiveness by focusing on low prices, providing single
source procurement and by selling voice processing equipment as a PBX peripheral
device with limited, core voice processing functionality such as telephone
answering and voice mail. The Company believes that its competitive strengths
compared to these PBX manufacturers are its multi-application voice processing
systems, the broad set of features incorporated into the Company's products,
including its multiple technology applications such as fax processing, a more
friendly user interface, the ability to integrate with the PBXs of multiple
manufacturers and networking. The Company also believes that development and
delivery of customer applications will increase in importance as a competitive
factor as customers demand not only core voice processing functionality, such as
telephone answering and voice messaging, but also IVR, fax, audiotex and
integration with computer networks.
The independent voice processing manufacturers (including Centigram, AVT
and Active Voice) also offer multiple integrations with PBXs. The Company
believes that its competitive strengths compared to these companies are its
large installed base, strong support organization, broad set of features, strong
financial condition and substantial cumulative investment in research and
development. The Company also believes that its direct and distributor channels
of distribution allow it to compete favorably with companies with only one
channel of distribution. Furthermore, the Company believes that its application
generators and application development specialists represent an opportunity to
provide applications tailored to meet the needs of vertical and horizontal
markets as well as providing unique solutions for individual customers.
Indirect competitors may be able to compete more directly with the Company
in selling to larger corporate customers and VIS providers by increasing system
capacities and adding new system capabilities and applications. To the extent
the Company markets additional applications that enable interaction with host
computers, suppliers of such other systems as interactive voice response systems
will become more direct competitors.
12
<PAGE> 13
The Company expects that new or enhanced products will be offered by its
principal existing competitors and new competitors, including large domestic and
international telecommunications and computer companies. The Company also
expects that computer software vendors such as Novell, Inc., Lotus Development
Corporation (a subsidiary of IBM) and Microsoft Corporation will continue to
develop enhanced messaging and networking software with voice and data
information processing applications.
A large number of voice processing companies compete primarily in the
market for smaller capacity systems (fewer than 16 ports) that are typically
sold to smaller customers or to small offices of larger companies; however, some
of these companies also use success in the smaller capacity systems market to
penetrate the large capacity systems market. Some of these competitors primarily
emphasize their automated attendant and call processing capabilities, while
others focus on voice messaging applications. In addition, a number of companies
produce personal computer add-on cards and software primarily aimed at
specialized applications or small user groups. The primary competitors for the
Company's PC products include other PC-based system suppliers including Active
Voice and AVT. Certain PBX manufacturers, including AT&T and Northern Telecom,
also offer competitive products to small businesses which are generally tailored
to a specific brand of PBX. The market for smaller capacity systems is
characterized by intense competition on price and sales coverage. The Company
believes that as smaller businesses become more familiar with voice processing
and its benefits, enhanced feature content will become increasingly important
for small capacity systems. The Company believes that its PC-based products
compete favorably against products from other PC-based vendors and PBX
manufacturers because of their feature set and the Company's extensive dealer
network.
Competitors in the international corporate and institutional market segment
vary by country and include both United States and foreign companies. In the
past, international competition was less significant as markets outside of North
America were less developed and competitors were in the early stages of
developing their business strategies. As the international markets have
developed, competition from traditional competitors as well as local start-up
companies has increased. These competitors are primarily in the market for
smaller capacity systems, which present competitive risks similar to those
discussed above. Octel believes that factors in its favor in international
markets are the broad set of features in its existing products, including its
multiple technology applications, its large installed base of multinational
companies and its strong financial condition. The Company's international
competitive position also benefits from the distribution alliances that the
Company has established with nearly 20 organizations, including Alcatel NV, a
division of Alcatel Alsthom, Bull S.A., Telefon AB LM Ericsson, Hitachi,
Italtel, J.S. Telecom, Mercury Communications, a subsidiary of the Cable &
Wireless Group, and Siemens AG.
Voice Information Services
In the VIS market, Octel currently competes with Boston Technology,
Centigram, Comverse, Digital Sound, Ericsson, Glenayre, Tecnomen and Unisys.
Octel anticipates that this list of competitors will continue to change and
evolve and that other competitors, potentially including the RBOCs, may enter
the market in the future.
Other telecommunications and computer companies, including some large
companies that currently supply network and corporate infrastructure equipment
to the RBOCs and some companies with greater financial and technical resources
than the Company, are expected to enter the VIS market. In addition, although
currently barred from such activities by governmental regulations stemming from
the breakup of AT&T in 1984, the RBOCs may be allowed to manufacture their own
voice processing equipment at some time in the future. The Company believes that
specific product requirements are becoming clearer as the RBOCs and other
telephone companies are gaining more experience with VIS. The Company continues
to develop enhancements to its Sierra product to address what the Company
believes are the emerging requirements of the telephone companies and other
service providers. However, there can be no assurance that product requirements
will not change as this market develops or that other companies will not be
faster or more successful in bringing comparable products to market.
The Company believes that the key competitive factors in the VIS market are
likely to depend on the method of implementing voice information services used
by the specific VIS provider. In this market, the Company believes it benefits
from its greater experience in providing voice processing systems, its installed
base and the reliability, capacity and broad feature functionality of its
products. In addition, against certain competitors, the Company competes
favorably on the basis of its strong financial condition and its limited
reliance on any single customer for its viability.
13
<PAGE> 14
Competition in the international VIS market has primarily come from those
companies based in and currently competing in the United States. As in the
international GBS market, the primary competitors in international VIS markets
may change as the market for voice information services develops and additional
vendors are attracted. The Company believes that its strengths in the domestic
VIS market will be valuable to the Company in international VIS markets.
Current competitors or new market entrants in both the GBS and VIS markets
may introduce and commercially deliver new products with features and expanded
capabilities that could adversely affect the competitive position of the
Company's systems in some or all of its markets. In order to maintain its
competitive position, the Company must continue to develop and market new
products successfully and enhance its existing products, and there is no
assurance that the Company will be able to do so. Increased competitive
pressures could result in intensified price competition in the Company's
markets, which would adversely affect the Company's net revenues and net income.
ONS
ONS competes both with other voice processing service providers and with
equipment manufacturers. Other services suppliers include independent companies
such as VoiceCom and VoiceTel. ONS also competes with equipment manufacturers if
the customer is uncertain whether to outsource its voice processing through a
service provider such as ONS or purchase equipment from a manufacturer. In
situations where a customer's capital budget is constrained or resources to
manage systems are not present, ONS' service solutions become attractive as
compared to equipment purchases. The Company believes that ONS competes
favorably in the outsourcing market because of its proven experience in the
business of providing outsourcing services as Tigon Corporation, years of
network development and management and Octel's strong consolidated financial
position.
MANUFACTURING
The Company's manufacturing operations consist primarily of final assembly
and extensive test and quality control of materials, components, subassemblies
and systems. Most of the Company's high-end hardware and software product
designs are proprietary, except for some peripheral products. Low-end products,
such as PC products, are designed with a more open architecture. The Company
currently manufactures its products in San Jose, California.
The Company presently uses third parties to perform printed circuit board
assembly and sheet metal fabrication. Although the Company generally uses
standard parts and components for its products, certain components, including
power supplies, disk drives and certain semiconductors, are presently available
only from a single source or from limited sources. The Company, to date, has
been able to obtain adequate supplies of these components in a timely manner
from existing sources or, when necessary, from alternative sources of supply.
There can be no assurance, however, that such supplies will be available in the
future or, if such supplies are available, that they will be available at
reasonable prices. The inability to develop such alternative sources if and as
required in the future, or to obtain sufficient sole or limited source
components as required, would adversely affect the Company's total net revenues
and net income.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
The Company believes that the continued timely development of new products
and enhancements to its existing products is essential to maintaining the
Company's market position, and this effort requires a high level of expenditures
by the Company for research and development. The Company has continued to
improve the features, capabilities, capacity and price/performance of its
product line while maintaining compatibility with its customers' existing
installations. The Company is currently involved in the development of new
products and enhancements to its existing products to increase performance,
reliability and manufacturability. The Company must continue to retain skilled
research and development personnel, particularly software and hardware engineers
who are generally in short supply. The Company, from time to time, has purchased
and anticipates that it will continue to purchase technology from third parties.
14
<PAGE> 15
The Company releases performance enhancements and new features for its
products on an ongoing basis. As the functionality of the Company's systems
increases, the complexity of the software will also increase. Although the
Company performs rigorous testing prior to releasing its product designs,
products as complex as the Company's often contain undetected errors or "bugs"
when first released, and these errors are discovered only after the product has
been used by many different customers and in varying applications. Because of
the importance the Company places on product reliability, the Company has from
time to time temporarily delayed product shipments to complete "debugging"
efforts. In addition, the Company has been required, in a few instances and
primarily for VIS customers, to write custom software and to make design
modifications to satisfy customer application requirements. Identifying and
correcting errors and making required design modifications typically is
expensive and time-consuming and the Company expects such modifications to
increase in complexity with the increasing sophistication of the Company's
products. Despite extensive testing, there can be no assurance that errors will
not cause delays in product introductions and shipments, require design
modifications or impair customer satisfaction, which could adversely affect
operating results.
During fiscal 1995, 1994 and 1993, the Company spent $74.6 million, $58.3
million and $44.4 million, respectively, on research and development. The
Company expects to continue to increase expenditures on research and development
in fiscal 1996 in absolute terms and these expenses could increase as a
percentage of total net revenues. During fiscal 1995, 1994 and 1993, the Company
entered into development contracts with certain customers whereby the Company
performed development work on applications software using customer funds. During
fiscal 1995, $1.0 million ($0.8 million in fiscal 1994 and $0.3 million in
fiscal 1993) was recognized as revenue and $1.0 million ($0.8 million in fiscal
1994 and $0.3 million in fiscal 1993) was charged to cost of sales for projects
completed. No internal software development costs have been capitalized to date
under the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 86,
"Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to Be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise
Marketed." Prior to the merger of Octel and VMX, VMX had capitalized certain
software development costs and incurred annual amortization expense. In March
1994, in connection with the VMX merger, the Company incurred a one-time pre-tax
charge to cost of sales of $1.1 million to write off certain capitalized
software development costs to conform accounting practices.
GOVERNMENT REGULATION
Voice messaging services and telecommunications equipment manufacturing are
regulated almost exclusively at the federal level, if at all. Other than routine
equipment registration for devices attached to the public switched telephone
network, the Company is not subject to federal telecommunications regulations.
State regulatory authorities have sought to regulate some aspects of intrastate
telephone answering and voice messaging services offered by telephone companies
and may seek in the future to regulate such services offered by independent
service providers such as the Company. At present, however, the Company is not
subject to such state regulation.
The activities of the RBOCs are subject to ongoing oversight by the United
States District Court for the District of Columbia under the terms of the 1984
consent decree governing the breakup of AT&T. The consent decree imposed certain
"line of business" restrictions which, among other things, prevent the RBOCs
from offering voice messaging services that originate in one Local Access and
Transport Area (LATA) and terminate in another LATA without prior approval of
the District Court. The consent decree also prohibits the RBOCs from
manufacturing telecommunications equipment. The RBOCs are allowed to provide
customer premise equipment (CPE) and to acquire both CPE and telecommunications
equipment for their own use. The RBOCs may only offer voice messaging and
related services using equipment purchased or leased from unaffiliated companies
such as Octel. In offering voice messaging and other "enhanced" services within
LATAs, the RBOCs are also subject to various regulatory requirements of the
Federal Communications Commission adopted to ensure nondiscriminatory access to
RBOC customers and deter cross-subsidization by the RBOCs.
These restrictions on the RBOCs may change in the near future because of
legislation pending in the United States Congress. As of August 1995, two
separate bills had passed both the House and the Senate, H.R. 1555 and S. 652,
respectively. The legislation would supersede the consent decree and permit the
RBOCs to manufacture telecommunications equipment and to provide inter-exchange
services after complying with requirements to open their telephone networks and
markets to competition. It would also allow the RBOCs to collaborate or enter
royalty
15
<PAGE> 16
agreements with telecommunications equipment manufacturers such as the Company
upon satisfaction of statutory requirements. While the legislation, in some
form, is expected to become law, its passage is by no means certain.
PATENTS, COPYRIGHTS, TRADEMARKS AND TECHNOLOGY LICENSES
The Company relies on a combination of patent, copyright, trade secret and
trademark law, licensing and technical measures to protect its intellectual
property. There can be no assurance that the Company's efforts to protect its
intellectual property will be successful.
The Company holds 31 United States patents and has 13 patent applications
pending in the United States. The Company's issued patents expire on dates
ranging from 2002 to 2010. The Company also has patent applications pending in
many foreign countries. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able
to protect its technology or that competitors will not be able to develop
similar technology independently. No assurance can be given that patents will be
issued from any applications filed by the Company or that, if patents are
issued, the claims allowed will be sufficiently broad to protect the Company's
technology. In addition, no assurance can be given that any patents issued to
the Company will not be challenged, invalidated or circumvented or that the
rights granted thereunder will provide competitive advantages to the Company. In
spite of the possible strength of the Company's existing and future patents, the
Company believes that patents are of less significance in its industry than such
factors as innovation, technological expertise and distribution strength.
The Company licenses technology from Northern Telecom, Mitel Corporation
and ROLM to facilitate integration of Octel's products with those manufacturers'
PBXs. The Northern Telecom license is perpetual, the Mitel license expires in
1998 and the ROLM license expires in 2004. Royalty payments on these licenses
are not material.
A number of companies, including competitors of the Company, hold patents
in the same general area as the technology used by the Company. The Company has
from time to time been notified and may be notified in the future that its
products may be infringing certain patents and other intellectual property
rights of others.
In April 1992, the Company filed suit, in United States District Court in
Northern California, against Theis Research, Inc. ("Theis") for declaratory
judgment that the Company's products do not infringe three patents of Theis and
that those patents are invalid. In November 1992, Theis filed a counterclaim
against the Company alleging infringement of seven of Theis' patents.
Subsequently, Theis dismissed with prejudice the claims as to all but four of
the patents. During the first quarter of fiscal 1995, the Company engaged in a
jury trial regarding infringement of the three remaining patents and the defense
of patent invalidity. In October 1994, the jury returned a verdict finding,
among other things, that Octel was correct in its claim that the three patents
at issue were invalid. Post-trial motions are pending and, if no settlement
between the parties is reached, it is anticipated that Theis will appeal the
verdict.
In January 1994, Gilbarco, Inc. ("Gilbarco") filed suit in the U.S.
District Court for the District of Colorado against the Company and one of the
Company's telephone company customers, U.S. West, alleging infringement of a
Gilbarco patent and seeking unspecified damages. The Company filed an answer to
the complaint denying any infringement of the patent and raising several
affirmative defenses, including an assertion that the patent is invalid and
unenforceable. In September 1994, the claims asserted against the Company were
transferred to the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California
and those claims asserted against U.S. West were stayed and administratively
closed pending the outcome of the California action. Fact discovery in the case
has been completed, expert discovery is scheduled for completion in December
1995 and a trial date has been set for March 19, 1996. The Company is currently
planning to file one or more motions before the trial which could dispose of
some or all of the claims asserted against it.
The Company believes, based upon information currently available, including
consultations with patent counsel, that the Company is not infringing any valid
patents of Theis or Gilbarco. The Company will vigorously defend the patent
infringement claims and any related claims for compensatory damages. While
litigation is inherently uncertain, the Company believes that the ultimate
resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the
Company's financial position.
16
<PAGE> 17
The Company is currently evaluating several additional claims of third
parties. Based in part on industry practice and in part on discussions with
certain of such third parties, the Company believes that in most cases any
necessary licenses or rights could be obtained on commercially reasonable terms.
However, no assurance can be given that future licenses will be obtained on
acceptable terms, that costly litigation will not occur or that the Company will
receive a favorable decision in any litigation that may ensue. The failure to
obtain necessary licenses or other rights, or litigation arising out of such
claims, could have a material adverse affect on the Company's operations.

EMPLOYEES
The Company's success depends in part upon the continued contribution of
its officers and key personnel, many of whom would be difficult to replace. If
certain of these people were to leave the Company, the Company's operating
results could be adversely affected. At June 30, 1995, the Company employed
approximately 2,700 people on a full-time basis. During fiscal 1996 the Company
intends to hire additional personnel, especially in the international arena.
Many of the Company's employees are highly skilled, and the Company's continued
growth and success will depend in part upon its ability to attract and retain
such employees, who are in great demand, and on the ability of the Company's
officers and key employees to manage successfully the growth of the Company
through use of appropriate management information systems and controls. The
Company has never had a work stoppage, no employees are represented by a labor
organization and the Company considers its employee relations to be good.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
The Company currently conducts all headquarter operations, except
manufacturing and customer support, in a newly constructed, five building,
375,000 square foot campus and an adjacent 44,000 square foot leased building in
Milpitas, California. Manufacturing and customer support operations are
conducted in two leased buildings in San Jose, California totaling 170,000
square feet. These three leases expire at various dates ranging from 1997 to
1999. The Company is nearing completion of the integration of the VMX customer
support facilities in San Jose. Integration of VMX's Dallas, Texas manufacturing
facilities is expected to be completed during the first quarter of fiscal 1996.
Movement of these operations to San Jose began in June 1995. Previously existing
leases have either been terminated or subleases are being pursued. The Company
also leases over 40 sales and customer support offices throughout the United
States totaling 272,000 square feet. These leases expire at various dates
through 2000. The aggregate monthly rental expense for leased property in the
United States, excluding OPCPD, ONS and Rhetorex, is approximately $479,000, of
which approximately 44% was for facilities near the Milpitas campus.
OPCPD conducts all activities from a 35,000 square foot leased building in
Sarasota, Florida with a monthly rental expense of $42,000. The OPCPD lease
expires in 2005. ONS' principal offices are located in five buildings in Dallas,
Texas and consist of approximately 108,000 square feet under leases which expire
in 1997 and 1998. ONS also leases an additional 53,000 square feet of space for
24 operations centers and sales offices throughout the United States. The
aggregate monthly rental expense for all of ONS' facilities is approximately
$170,000, of which approximately 52% is for facilities at or near the Dallas
offices. Rhetorex conducts all activities from a 16,000 square foot leased
building in Campbell, California with a monthly rental expense of $16,000. This
lease expires in 1997.
The Company leases six offices in Canada totaling 17,000 square feet at a
monthly rental expense of approximately $22,000. The Company also leases 37,000
square feet in four cities in the United Kingdom at an aggregate monthly rental
expense of $104,000. Octel also has two offices in France totaling 15,000 square
feet with a monthly rental expense of approximately $32,000. Additionally, the
Company leases four offices in Germany, Israel, Japan and Hong Kong for total
monthly rental expense of approximately $48,000. These leases expire at various
dates and the Company expects to be able to renew or replace such leases at the
end of their terms on a commercially reasonable basis.
17
<PAGE> 18
On July 6, 1995, the Company entered into a one-year operating lease for a
parcel of undeveloped land adjacent to its Milpitas, California campus on which
additional offices may be constructed over the next three years. Monthly rent
expense varies based upon the London interbank offering rate (LIBOR). See Note
14 to the consolidated financial statements.
The Company expects that it may require additional sales and customer
support locations during fiscal 1996 and believes that suitable space will be
available as needed on commercially reasonable terms.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
See "Patents, Copyrights, Trademarks and Technology Licenses" in Item 1

ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
There were no matters submitted to a vote of security holders during the
fourth quarter of fiscal 1995.

The Company has not paid cash dividends on its Common Stock to date and
does not plan to pay cash dividends to its stockholders in the foreseeable
future.
The Company believes factors such as quarter-to-quarter variances in
financial results and announcements of new products and new orders by the
Company or its competitors could cause the market price of the Company's Common
Stock to fluctuate substantially. In addition, the stock prices for many high
technology companies typically experience extreme price fluctuations, which
often are not related to changes in the operating performance of the specific
companies. Broad market fluctuations as well as general economic conditions,
such as a recessionary period or high interest rates, may adversely affect the
market price of the Company's Common Stock. Both the Company's Common Stock and
the stock market generally are at or near historic highs and there can be no
assurance that such valuations will continue or increase.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Effective March 31, 1994, Octel consummated a business combination with VMX
which was accounted for as a pooling of interests. VMX provides integrated
messaging and call processing systems, software and services that combine voice,
data and image for business communications worldwide. To effect the combination,
approximately 5.4 million shares of Octel's Common Stock were issued in exchange
for all of the outstanding Common Stock of VMX. The net assets of VMX amounted
to approximately $45.1 million at March 31, 1994. The financial
information presented herein has been restated to include the accounts and
operations of VMX for all periods.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - ANNUAL
Net Revenues
The Company derives revenues from the sale of systems, license fees and
performance of services. Systems revenues consist of equipment, upgrades and
expansions sold to corporations and other institutions, as well as telephone and
cellular companies. Services revenues consist of a range of voice processing and
network management services provided by ONS, particularly to customers in the
residential market through an RBOC and voice services market, service contracts,
applications development products, the sale of spares, licenses and hardware
repair and maintenance.

</TABLE>
The growth in total net revenues since fiscal 1993 resulted from increases
in the volume of services revenues generated by ONS, spares and maintenance and
the sale of systems to new and existing customers and the sale of upgrades and
expansions. Total domestic net revenues for fiscal 1995 were $353.6 million
compared to $308.8 million in fiscal 1994, an increase of 15%. International net
revenues totaled $119.0 million for fiscal 1995 compared to $97.4 million in
fiscal 1994, an increase of 22%. Domestic and international net revenues for
fiscal 1993 were $257.8 million and $80.7 million, respectively. International
sales were primarily to customers in Europe and Canada and, to a lesser extent,
New Zealand, Japan, Hong Kong and China.
Total GBS net revenues grew by 11% compared to fiscal 1994. Domestic net
revenue growth was 12% and international revenues grew 6%. The increases are due
to greater sales of high-end systems offset by fewer low-end systems sales
compared to fiscal 1994. During fiscal 1995, international GBS sales were
generally made through the Company's direct sales force and distributors,
principally in the United Kingdom and Canada. The GBS market continues to be
dependent upon the following: purchases by existing customers of expansions and
upgrades to support expanding corporate voice messaging networks; purchases of
new, integrated applications such as fax processing by large organizations;
sales to small business or branch offices of large companies of less expensive
voice messaging equipment; and purchases by large organizations that have
already adopted competitive voice processing technology switching to the
Company's products.
Total VIS net revenues grew by 2% compared to fiscal 1994. Domestic net
revenue decreased 4% whereas international revenues grew 9%. In the United
States, the Company continues to sell to customers who provide telephone
answering services, which is experiencing slower growth than other VIS markets.
Furthermore, the Company experienced a decline in VIS market share from fiscal
1994 to fiscal 1995. The Company continues to believe that the residential and
cellular voice messaging markets are large market opportunities. The Company and
its VIS customers, including the cellular companies, are working jointly to
develop programs to address these markets, however, there can be no assurance
that future declines in market share will not occur. International VIS sales
were primarily made through the Company's direct sales force. The Company's
operations in the United Kingdom made a significant contribution to
international revenues as a result of new opportunities which were realized
during the year, however, this increase was offset by a decrease in Canada's VIS
revenues which were adversely affected by a capital spending freeze at one of
Canada's largest VIS providers. International VIS net systems revenues decreased
slightly in fiscal 1994 as compared to fiscal 1993 due principally to large
systems sales in Italy in fiscal 1993 which were not repeated in fiscal 1994.
Net services and license revenues increased as a result of growth in
ONS revenues of 58% compared to fiscal 1994 that resulted from increased
services provided to one of the RBOCs which provides residential services and
from other new accounts added during the year. Higher spares and hardware
maintenance revenues due to the increased installed base also contributed to the
overall increase in net service revenues. In recent years, services and license
revenues have experienced significant growth in absolute dollars and as a
percentage of net revenues. There can be no assurance that such growth will be
sustained or continue.
22
<PAGE> 23
Systems sales orders from VIS customers are generally larger than GBS sales
and VIS customers do not follow consistent buying patterns; therefore, net
revenue volume and mix in future periods could be affected by the extent and
timing of new orders from VIS customers. In addition, the Company continues to
monitor trends in the general economy that have previously imposed budgetary
constraints and, therefore, adversely affected the ordering process of
customers. The Company cannot predict how future domestic and international
economic trends may affect sales orders. The Company may establish additional
subsidiaries or joint ventures in the future in those countries where it
believes significant sales opportunities exist. Extensive effort is required in
the local government approval processes before the Company's new products or
modifications to existing products can be sold and installed in each country.
This work was completed in several countries during fiscal 1995. Local
government approvals for other selected countries are in process.

Total cost of sales 41% 40% 38% 1% 2%
</TABLE>
Total cost of sales as a percentage of total net revenues increased from
fiscal 1994 to fiscal 1995 due to the continued growth of services and license
revenues, which have a higher cost structure than systems sales, and to an
increase in the cost of systems. The increase as a percentage of total net
revenues from fiscal 1993 to fiscal 1994 was primarily due to non-recurring
costs incurred to conform VMX's accounting practices to the Company's. This
negative effect was partially offset by the effects of revenue transactions for
which costs were previously expensed due to uncertainty of revenue recognition
and a favorable mix in the configuration of high-end products.
The increase in cost of systems as a percentage of total systems revenues
from fiscal 1994 to fiscal 1995 was due primarily to product mix changes. The
increase from fiscal 1993 to fiscal 1994 was due primarily to non-recurring
costs of $2.2 million incurred to conform VMX's accounting practices to the
Company's.
The decrease in cost of services as a percentage of total services and
license revenues since fiscal 1993 is primarily attributable to the increase in
ONS revenues, which have a lower cost structure as a percentage of services and
license revenues than hardware repair and maintenance.
During fiscal 1995, 1994 and 1993, the Company used sales promotions and
pricing programs, including price reductions and discounts, to stimulate demand
for the Company's products. If the Company is required to respond to economic or
competitive pressures through similar programs in the future, cost of systems
and services could increase as a percentage of total net revenues.

</TABLE>
The increase in research and development expenses in absolute dollars and
as a percentage of total net revenues is due to the Company's increased spending
on the development of new products, projects to meet customer commitments, the
adaptation of existing products and technology for international markets, and
the continued commitment to enhancements to existing products. Fiscal 1995
expenses also reflect research and development expenses incurred by the
development facility acquired by the Company in August 1994. Additionally, the
Company incurred a one-time charge of approximately $1.2 million during fiscal
1995 related to a cancelled contract for software development.
During fiscal 1995, 1994 and 1993, the Company entered into development
contracts with certain customers whereby the Company performed development work
on applications software using customer funds. During fiscal 1995, $1.0 million
($0.8 million in fiscal 1994 and $0.3 million in fiscal 1993) was recognized as
revenue and $1.0 million ($0.8 million in fiscal 1994 and $0.3 million in fiscal
1993) was charged to cost of sales for projects completed. No internal software
development costs have been capitalized to date under the provisions of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 86, "Accounting for the Costs of
Computer Software to Be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed." See Note 2 to
consolidated financial statements.
The Company expects to continue to increase expenditures on research and
development in fiscal 1996 in absolute terms and these expenses could increase
as a percentage of total net revenues.
Selling, General and Administrative

</TABLE>
The increases in selling, general and administrative expenses resulted
primarily from payroll related expenses for employees hired to support the
growth of the Company's worldwide operations. The increases in fiscal 1995 were
partially offset by a reduction in legal expenses related to ongoing patent
litigation incurred during fiscal 1994, the absence of costs related to the
departure of the prior CEO which were incurred during fiscal 1994 and reduced
occupancy costs due to the consolidation of certain office facilities in fiscal
1995. Selling, general and administrative expenses declined as a percentage of
total net revenues due to the factors discussed above and the Company's
continued monitoring of expenses and employment of cost control measures. Since
fiscal 1994, the Company has continued to redeploy resources to support the
faster growing business segments, including the hiring of employees to support
new
24
<PAGE> 25
international subsidiaries and international sales opportunities. Since the
merger with VMX, the Company has analyzed organizational and operational
synergies that can be achieved and began to realize the benefits from those
synergies in fiscal 1995. The Company believes that additional selling, general
and administrative expenses will be required to maintain its competitive
position, including expanded international sales activities, and expects that
these expenses will increase in absolute terms and could increase as a
percentage of total net revenues. Additionally, the Company is currently
involved in patent litigation that may cause an increase in legal expenses in
the future. See "Business - Patents, Copyrights, Trademarks and Technology
Licenses."
Non-recurring Charge for Acquired In-process Research and Development
In August 1994, the Company purchased certain intellectual property and
fixed assets from another company for $5.1 million. Of the total purchase price,
$4.7 million was allocated to in-process research and development and $0.4
million was allocated to property and equipment. The in-process research and
development was expensed in the first quarter of fiscal 1995.
Integration Costs
In connection with the VMX merger in fiscal 1994, the Company recorded
$18.3 million for integration costs related to the consolidation of facilities
and personnel. In fiscal 1995, an additional $2.8 million of integration costs
were incurred which related primarily to literature design for name change and
other modifications to literature for the merged Company and the consolidation
of processes and computer systems of the merged Company.
Interest and Other Income (Expense), Net
Interest and other income (expense), net for fiscal 1995 increased $4.4
million from fiscal 1994 and for fiscal 1994 decreased $5.8 million from fiscal
1993. These changes were due primarily to merger related expenses of $3.6
million incurred in fiscal 1994. Since fiscal 1993, the Company has realized
lower interest income due to lower interest rates and lower average cash and
cash equivalent and short-term investment balances and had smaller realized
gains on sales of short-term investments. During fiscal 1995, there were net
foreign exchange gains of $0.8 million compared to losses of $0.4 million in
fiscal 1994 and gains of $0.2 million in fiscal 1993. Other expenses in fiscal
1994 included one-time costs related to the merger with VMX for which no such
expenses were incurred in fiscal 1995. Other expenses in fiscal 1993 included
one-time costs associated with the acquisition of one of the Company's
subsidiaries. Other expenses in each fiscal year included costs of the Company's
foreign exchange hedging program and fees paid to the Company's investment
advisors. The Company continues to utilize its hedging program to mitigate the
foreign exchange financial exposure of foreign currency transactions.
Income Taxes
The effective tax rate for fiscal 1995 was 32% compared to 22% in fiscal
1994 and 28% in fiscal 1993. The lower effective tax rate in fiscal 1994 was
attributable to a combination of factors. First, various tax assets of VMX that
had been fully reserved were recognized as a tax benefit. Additionally, the
retroactive reinstatement of the U.S. research and development credit for the
fiscal year ended June 30, 1993 had a favorable impact on the effective tax rate
in fiscal 1994.
During the third quarter of fiscal 1993, but effective July 1, 1992, the
Company changed its method of accounting for income taxes to the liability
method required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109,
"Accounting for Income Taxes." Prior to this date the Company used the deferred
method of accounting for income taxes under APB No. 11. As permitted by SFAS No.
109, no financial statements for periods prior to July 1, 1992 were restated.
Results for the first quarter of fiscal 1993 were previously restated to include
a charge of $115,000, representing the cumulative effect, as of July 1, 1992, of
this change in accounting for income taxes. Other immaterial adjustments
(netting to $115,000) were made to the tax provision in the first quarter of
fiscal 1993 to reflect the change to SFAS No. 109. No adjustments to the second
quarter results of fiscal 1993 were necessary. See Note 13 to the Consolidated
Financial Statements.

Dividends
The Company has not paid cash dividends on its Common Stock to date and
does not plan to pay cash dividends to its stockholders in the foreseeable
future. The Company presently intends to retain any earnings to finance its
business and to repurchase shares of its Common Stock under a program approved

Percentage amounts may not total due to rounding.
Lower total net revenues in the first quarter compared to the prior and
subsequent quarters are due primarily to a historically slow summer both
domestically and internationally. The increase in fourth quarter net revenues
compared to prior quarters resulted from special promotions for existing and new
products introduced during the third quarter of fiscal 1995.
Cost of systems, as a percentage of total net revenues, increased
throughout the year primarily as a result of higher systems costs related to
changes in product mix, whereas cost of services as a percentage of total net
revenues remained relatively flat throughout the year.

Operating margin for the first quarter was affected by the lower revenues
discussed above combined with the non-recurring charge for acquired in-process
research and development. Excluding the non-recurring charge, operating margin
for the first quarter would have been 9 percent. Third quarter operating margin
was affected by higher integration costs as the Company continues to finalize
the consolidation of VMX operations. Fourth quarter operating margin was
affected by higher revenue, a favorable product mix and significant efforts to
reduce expense growth.
The quarterly effective tax rates reflect the provision required for the
annual rate of 32%.
The Company believes that its backlog on a quarterly basis will not
generally be large enough to assure that its revenue targets for a particular
quarter will be met. Furthermore, a large percentage of any quarter's shipments
have historically been booked in the last month of the quarter. Consequently,
quarterly revenues and operating results will depend on the volume and timing of
new orders received during a quarter, which is difficult to forecast. This is
particularly true in the VIS market, where sales orders are generally larger.
The Company offers products with base system list prices from approximately
$11,000 to over $1,250,000 depending on customer configurations and
requirements, and generally has a higher gross margin on its fully configured
products. The Company provides discounts to distributors and generally has a
higher gross margin on direct sales. In addition, the Company's services and
license revenues generally have lower gross margins than systems gross margins.
As a result, the Company's revenues and gross margins will be affected by the
product, service and channel mix and timing of orders it receives. In addition,
because the Company recognizes revenues on sales to distributors and customers
which have previously installed the Company's product at the time of shipment
and on certain direct sales to end users at the time of installation, quarterly
revenues can also fluctuate depending on the customer installation schedules for
direct sales at the end of a quarter. Installation on direct sales typically
occurs within five weeks of shipment. The Company has not experienced any
significant returns by customers of any of its products.
Fourth quarter total net revenues are typically enhanced by sales
incentives to employees and promotional programs for customers; as a result,
first quarter sales are typically less than fourth quarter sales. The Company
anticipates that this trend will continue in the first quarter of fiscal 1996.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's cash and equivalents and short-term investments decreased to
$52.6 million at June 30, 1995 from $86.4 million at June 30, 1994 and $100.4
million at June 30, 1993. Cash flows from operations resulted in net cash
provided of $46.8 million in fiscal 1995, $49.4 million in fiscal 1994 and $39.8
million in fiscal 1993. In fiscal 1995, cash from operations resulted primarily
from net income of $31.1 million, which included $30.7 million of non-cash
expenses for depreciation and amortization, offset by an increase in accounts
receivable of $24.0 million. The increase in accounts receivable is due
primarily to an increase in fourth quarter total net revenues of $19.0 million
compared to the same quarter of fiscal 1994.
The primary uses of cash during fiscal 1995 were investment in property,
plant and equipment of $56.9 million ($58.6 million and $30.8 million in fiscal
1994 and 1993, respectively) and the repurchase of Common Stock for
approximately $28.4 million ($5.8 million and $13.1 million in fiscal 1994 and
1993, respectively) under the Company's stock repurchase program, both of which
aim to increase return to investors as compared to the return which would be
earned by investing the cash and generating interest at the low rates available
during fiscal 1995.
As of June 30, 1995, the Company had invested $48.7 million in the purchase
of land and the development of the Company's new corporate offices on that land.
The Company now occupies those facilities. Effective July 6, 1995, the Company
entered into a one-year operating lease agreement to lease undeveloped land on
which additional offices may be constructed adjacent to the existing corporate
offices over the next three years under a similar leasing arrangement. Under the
terms of the operating lease, the Company is contingently liable under a 97%
first-loss clause for up to $9.9 million at July 6, 1996. See Note 14 to the
consolidated financial statements. The Company also expects to purchase
additional equipment and make certain leasehold improvements during fiscal 1996;
however, spending levels are not expected to be at the levels they were in
fiscal 1995 and 1994 because of the completion of the new corporate offices. The
Company anticipates that its property and equipment investments will eventually
result in greater efficiencies and increased flexibility for the Company.

In connection with the VMX merger, the Company recorded integration costs
of $18.3 million in fiscal 1994. In addition to the integration costs recorded
in fiscal 1994, the Company incurred additional merger-related integration costs
during fiscal 1995 of $2.8 million, which have been charged to operations. The
charges were recorded based on decisions made by management to consolidate
certain facilities and personnel. As of June 30, 1995, the balance of expected
future cash expenditures was approximately $4.6 million and was recorded in
"Accrued and Other Liabilities." The majority of this amount will be spent
during the first quarter of fiscal 1996 as consolidation of the Company's
manufacturing facilities is completed. Remaining integration charges are
expected to be immaterial. The integration charges are the primary reason for
the decrease in working capital from fiscal 1993 to fiscal 1994.
In July 1994, the Company's Board of Directors approved the repurchase of
up to 3.5 million shares of its Common Stock over a period of approximately two
years. During fiscal 1995, the Company repurchased approximately 1.3 million
shares of its Common Stock at an average per share price of $22. The Company
expects to continue to repurchase its Common Stock under this program if
warranted by market conditions.
In August 1994, the Company purchased certain intellectual and personal
property from another company for $5.1 million. Of the total purchase price,
$4.7 million was allocated to in-process research and development and $0.4
million was allocated to property and equipment. The in-process research and
development was expensed during the first quarter of fiscal 1995. The full
amount of the purchase price was paid during fiscal 1995.
The Company anticipates that cash flows from operations, existing cash and
equivalents balance, short-term investment balance and its existing $30 million
bank revolving line of credit will be adequate to meet the Company's cash
requirements through the end of fiscal 1996.
FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Company believes that in the future its results of operations could be
affected by factors such as market acceptance of new products and upgrades,
growth in the worldwide voice processing market, competition, expansion of
services by its VIS customers, the outcome of litigation and changes in general
economic conditions in any of the countries in which the Company does business.
The Company believes that the successful introduction of new and enhanced
products and services will be essential for it to maintain or improve its
competitive position. In July 1995, the Company introduced OcteLink - a global
"messaging post office" that could eventually allow the interconnection of
virtually any voice messaging system with networking capability, regardless of
protocol, system size or geographic location. Revenues from OcteLink are
expected to commence during the latter part of the second quarter of fiscal 1996
but are not expected to be material for the fiscal year and the Company expects
to incur additional research and development expenditures to launch OcteLink.
Although the Company believes OcteLink is a viable global messaging network,
there is currently no reliable data regarding the demand for such services in
multiple customer segments. Furthermore, there is no assurance that demand for a
global messaging network will not be slow to materialize or that potential
competitors will not successfully introduce alternative solutions to OcteLink
that achieve better market acceptance. Additionally, the Company introduced the
Overture Family of message servers in July 1995. The Overture 250 is a new
product which is a mid-level system designed for medium-sized businesses and
large branch offices. Although the Company anticipates a favorable reception of
the Overture 250 into the marketplace, there can be no assurance that it will be
successful in generating additional sales. Furthermore, the Company is
developing "unified messaging" products for voice, fax and electronic mail
messaging. Unified messaging essentially unites voice, fax and e-mail together
in a client/server architecture that uses standard PC and LAN technology. This
integration brings together several discrete technologies into a single mailbox
that provides user access from a telephone or a PC. In May 1995, Octel announced
the first component of its unified messaging technology that will be available
on Microsoft Exchange, a LAN-based, enterprise-wide messaging architecture.
Current expectations are for revenue to commence in fiscal 1997; however, there
can be no assurance that the product introduction will be successful in the
marketplace or that it will not be delayed, thereby reducing future expected
revenues or resulting in additional expenses to bring the product to market.
The timely introduction and market acceptance of the Company's
next-generation client/server architecture for its Sierra platform is a key
factor in determining the Company's success in the VIS market, and the Company
is focusing
28
<PAGE> 29
significant resources and talent on developing and bringing products using this
architecture to market. The new architecture is scheduled for first-phase
release in fiscal 1996, however, there can be no assurance that introduction of
products using this architecture will not be delayed, allowing competitors to
gain a market share advantage, or that such products will be successful in the
marketplace, thereby resulting in additional expenses to bring the product to
market or reducing future expected revenues.
The integration of certain operations as a result of the VMX merger
continues to require the dedication of management resources which may
temporarily distract attention from the day-to-day business of the Company. The
Company has executed a plan to reduce expenses by eliminating duplicate
facilities - particularly sales offices - employees and other expenses. These
efforts are expected to continue through the first quarter of fiscal 1996 as the
consolidation of the Company's manufacturing and support facilities is
completed. There can be no assurance that Octel will be able to reduce expenses
in this fashion, that there will not be high costs associated with such
activities, that such reductions will not result in a decrease in revenues or
that there will not be other material adverse effects of such activities.
Although it believes there are opportunities to gain from synergies resulting
from the VMX merger, the Company cannot determine the ultimate effect that the
continued integration of Octel and VMX will have on revenues, earnings or the
Common Stock price.
During the latter half of fiscal 1995, the Company adopted a new,
capacity-based pricing approach for its largest GBS system, the XC-1000. This
pricing approach was also adopted for other Overture system sales beginning in
fiscal 1996. This approach allows customers to purchase systems with only part
of the equipment's capacity enabled and then have additional capacity enabled in
the future upon payment of additional fees. While the Company believes that this
approach will make it more competitive, there can be no assurance that this
approach will be successful in winning additional sales or will not defer
revenue that might have otherwise been earned earlier. Difficulties in
implementing this approach, delays or adverse results due to renegotiation of
sales and distribution agreements to accommodate capacity-based pricing,
deferral of revenue or the failure to generate additional sales could have an
adverse effect on the Company's results of operations.
Due to the factors noted above and elsewhere in management's discussion and
analysis of financial condition and results of operations, the Company's future
earnings and Common Stock price may be subject to significant volatility,
particularly on a quarterly basis. Past financial performance should not be
considered a reliable indicator of future performance and investors should not
use historical trends to anticipate results or trends in future periods. Any
shortfall in revenue or earnings from the levels anticipated by securities
analysts could have an immediate and significant effect on the trading price of
the Company's Common Stock in any given period. Additionally, the Company may
not learn of such shortfalls until late in a fiscal quarter, which could result
in an even more immediate and adverse effect on the trading price of the
Company's Common Stock. Both the Company's Common Stock and the stock market
generally are at or near historic highs and there can be no assurance that such
valuations will continue or increase. Finally, the Company participates in a
highly dynamic industry which often results in volatility of the Company's
Common Stock price.
The Company has been and may in the future continue to be required to
litigate enforcement of its intellectual property or commercial rights or to
defend itself in litigation arising out of claims by third parties. Such
litigation, even if the Company is ultimately victorious, can be extremely
expensive and may have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of
operations in any particular period. Litigation may also occupy management
resources that would otherwise be available to address other aspects of the
Company's business. See "Business - Patents, Copyrights, Trademarks and
Technology Licenses."

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The Company designs, manufactures and markets voice information processing
systems. The Company also provides voice processing and networking services. The
consolidated financial statements include the Company and its wholly owned
subsidiaries. Intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in
consolidation. Certain prior years' costs previously reported as selling,
general and administrative have been reclassified to cost of services to conform
to the fiscal 1995 presentation.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Cash equivalents
Cash equivalents consist of all highly liquid debt instruments purchased
with a maturity of three months or less.
Short-term investments
In May 1993, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in
Debt and Equity Securities" ("SFAS 115"). The Company adopted the provisions of
SFAS 115 for investments held as of June 30, 1994. Under the provisions of SFAS
115, the Company has classified its investments in certain debt securities as
"available-for-sale." Such investments are recorded at fair value, with
unrealized gains and losses reported as a separate component of stockholders'
equity. Interest income is recorded using an effective interest rate, with the
associated premium or discount amortized to "Interest and other income
(expense), net." The cost of securities sold is based upon the specific
identification method. In accordance with the provisions of SFAS 115, prior
period financial statements have not been restated to reflect the change in
accounting principle. The cumulative effect as of June 30, 1994 of adopting SFAS
115 was to decrease stockholders' equity by $0.5 million to reflect the net
unrealized loss on investments classified as "available-for-sale" and previously
recorded at cost. See Note 3.
Foreign currency translation
The Company's foreign subsidiaries operate using local functional
currencies, except for Israel, which uses the U.S. Dollar as its functional
currency. Accordingly, assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies
are translated at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Revenues, costs
and expenses are translated at average rates of exchange prevailing during the
year. Translation adjustments resulting from this process are accumulated as a
separate component of stockholders' equity. Realized and unrealized gains and
losses on foreign currency transactions and hedge contracts are included in
interest and other income (expense), net.
Financial instruments and risk concentration
The forward hedge contracts discussed above require the Company to exchange
currencies at rates agreed upon at the inception of the contracts. Although the
gross amounts are used to express the volume of these transactions, the amounts
potentially subject to credit risk are limited to the difference between the
counterparty's obligation and the obligation of the Company. The contracts do
not subject the Company to significant market risk from exchange rate movements
because the contracts offset foreign currency balances and transactions being
hedged. The Company maintains policies for entering into foreign exchange
contracts and investments.
Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to
concentrations of credit risk are primarily cash equivalents, short-term
investments, accounts receivable and financial instruments used in hedging
activities. The Company's cash equivalents and short-term investments are
primarily in U.S. government obligations and municipal notes and bonds that have
maturities ranging from 1995 through 2003. The Company believes no significant
concentration of credit risk exists with respect to these financial instruments.
Balances due from international

customers account for 32 percent of the total accounts receivable at June 30,
1995 (35 percent at June 30, 1994). Additionally, distributors and VIS customers
comprise 13 percent and 38 percent of total accounts receivable, respectively
(18 percent and 40 percent in 1994, respectively). Generally, the Company
requires no collateral from customers. The Company believes that any credit
risks are substantially mitigated by the Company's credit evaluation process.
Fair value of financial instruments
For certain of the Company's financial instruments, including cash and
equivalents, short-term investments, accounts receivable, accounts payable and
accrued expenses, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to their short
maturities. Consequently, such instruments are not included in the following
table. The following table provides information regarding the estimated fair
values of off balance sheet financial instruments determined based on quoted
market prices of comparable instruments (in thousands):

Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or
market.
Development costs
Development costs incurred in the research and development of new software
products and enhancements to existing software products are expensed as incurred
until technological feasibility has been established. After technological
feasibility is established, any additional costs would be capitalized in
accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 86, "Accounting
for the Costs of Computer Software to Be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed."
The Company has not capitalized any software development costs, as the Company's
current process for developing this software is essentially completed
concurrently with the establishment of technological feasibility. In connection
with the VMX merger, certain costs formerly capitalized by VMX were written off
to conform accounting practices during fiscal 1994.
In fiscal 1995, 1994 and 1993, the Company entered into contracts for
funded software development projects. These contracts are contractual services
as defined by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 68, "Research and
Development Arrangements." The Company defers development costs and revenue for
these projects and such deferred costs are expensed to cost of sales when the
related revenue is recognized. The Company maintains all rights related to the
funded projects. During fiscal 1995, the Company incurred a one-time charge of
approximately $1.2 million related to a cancelled contract for software
development. As of June 30, 1995, all current projects are expected to be
completed substantially in accordance with the related contract.
As of June 30, 1995, $0.5 million of costs related to these contracts were
deferred ($2.9 million and $1.9 million at June 30, 1994 and 1993,
respectively). Prepayments recorded as a liability were $0.2 million at June 30,
1995 ($1.0 million and $0.1 million were recorded at June 30, 1994 and 1993,
respectively). In fiscal year 1995, $1.0 million was expensed to cost of sales
and $1.0 million recognized as revenue for contracts ($0.8 million was expensed
to cost of sales and recognized as revenue in 1994 and $0.3 million was expensed
to cost of sales and recognized as revenue in 1993).

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
Acquired in-process research and development
In August 1994, the Company purchased certain intellectual and personal
property from another company for $5.1 million. Of the total purchase price,
$4.7 million was allocated to in-process research and development and $0.4
million was allocated to property and equipment. The in-process research and
development was expensed in the first quarter of fiscal 1995.
Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed
using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:
<TABLE>
<S> <C>
Buildings 40 years
Machinery & equipment 2 - 10 years
Furniture & fixtures 5 years
Leasehold improvements Life of lease
</TABLE>
Intangible assets
Goodwill represents the excess of acquisition cost, including reserves for
certain acquisition-related expenses, over the fair value of the net assets
acquired and was being amortized on a straight-line basis over ten years.
Goodwill of $1.7 million was included in the balance sheet caption "Deposits and
other assets" as of June 30, 1994. During fiscal 1995, the balance in Goodwill
was eliminated in connection with the reversal of remaining acquisition reserves
that were no longer required.
The Company has acquired various technology licenses and enters into other
agreements requiring pre-payments. The cost of the licenses and other agreements
is amortized from the date that the related product is commercially available
over periods based on anticipated future revenue streams from the related
products not exceeding 36 months. As of June 30, 1995 and 1994, $2.5 million and
$3.3 million, respectively, were included in the balance sheet caption "Deposits
and other assets" for such assets.
Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognized upon shipment to distributors and upon installation
for end users. Revenue is also recognized upon shipment to end users for orders
from businesses which have previously installed the Company's products, and upon
shipment of upgrades and expansions to larger capacity systems.
Revenues on service contracts are primarily recognized ratably over the
contract period.
Returns and allowances
The Company does not generally reserve for returns because, historically,
the Company has not experienced any significant returns of any of its products
by customers.
Warranty costs
The Company warrants its products for one year after delivery to the
purchaser or after Company performed installation. Provision for estimated
warranty costs is recorded at the time of sale.
Income taxes
Effective July 1, 1992, the Company adopted SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for
Income Taxes." Under SFAS No. 109, the liability method is used in accounting
for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and
37
<PAGE> 38
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and
tax bases of assets and liabilities, and are measured using the enacted tax
rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to
reverse.
As permitted by SFAS No. 109, the Company elected to record the cumulative
effect of adopting this pronouncement as a change in accounting principle as of
July 1, 1992, the result of which was a reduction in fiscal 1993 net income of
$0.1 million. This charge represents the writedown of net deferred tax assets
and liabilities from the tax rates in effect when they arose to current
statutory tax rates.
Net income per common and equivalent share
Primary and fully diluted net income per common and equivalent share are
computed based upon the weighted average number of common and equivalent shares
from stock options and put warrants (using the treasury stock method) and shares
subscribed under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

4. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS -- POOLING OF INTERESTS METHOD
VMX, Inc.
On March 31, 1994, Octel Acquisition Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary
of Octel, was merged with and into VMX, Inc. (VMX), with VMX being the surviving
corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Octel. In the transaction,
approximately 5.4 million shares of Octel's common stock were issued in exchange
for all of the outstanding common stock of VMX. The merger was accounted for as
a pooling of interests, and accordingly, the accompanying financial statements
have been restated to include the accounts and operations of VMX for all periods
prior to the merger. Effective in the quarter ended March 31, 1994, VMX recorded
$2.2 million in charges to operations to conform certain changes in estimates
and accounting policies to those of Octel.
VMX provided integrated messaging and call processing systems, software and
services that combined voice, data and image for business communications,
worldwide.
Separate results of the combining entities for the periods prior to the
merger were as follows (in thousands):

In connection with the merger, approximately $3.6 million of merger
expenses were incurred and charged to interest and other income (expense), net
during the third quarter of fiscal 1994. These non-recurring expenses included
investment banking fees of $2.6 million, legal and accounting fees of $0.6
million and other miscellaneous expenses of $0.4 million.
Also in connection with the merger, the Company recorded integration costs
in the third quarter of fiscal 1994 of $18.3 million related to costs associated
with consolidating facilities and personnel. Included in such integration costs
were building lease termination fees and moving costs in connection with
redundant facilities, employee severance,
39
<PAGE> 40
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
relocation expenses, and the write-off of leasehold improvements and assets
impaired as a direct result of the merger. The balance in these reserves of $4.6
million at June 30, 1995 is included in "Accrued and other liabilities" on the
balance sheet. Additional expenses of $2.8 million were incurred in fiscal 1995,
relating primarily to literature design for name change and other modifications
to literature for the merged company and the consolidation of processes and
computer systems of the merged company.
Rhetorex, Inc.
In March 1993, the Company issued the equivalent of 346,218 shares of its
Common Stock in exchange for all of the outstanding capital stock of Rhetorex,
Inc. (Rhetorex), which has been accounted for as a pooling of interests. In
addition the Company assumed Rhetorex stock options which represented options to
purchase 3,779 shares of the Company's Common Stock subsequent to the
transaction. Rhetorex designs and manufactures high performance voice processing
components and software for personal computers.
Compass Technology, Inc.
Effective August 12, 1992, the Company consummated a business combination
with Compass Technology, Inc. (now Octel PC Products Division (OPCPD)) which was
accounted for as a pooling of interests. OPCPD develops and markets voice
processing applications software for PC-based systems. To effect the
combination, approximately 460,000 shares of common stock were issued in
exchange for substantially all equity securities of OPCPD. The net assets of
OPCPD amounted to $0.5 million at June 30, 1992.
5. BUSINESS COMBINATION -- PURCHASE METHOD
On October 21, 1992, the Company acquired Tigon Corporation (now Octel
Network Services (ONS)) from Ameritech. ONS is a provider of voice processing
and networking services primarily in the United States. The purchase price of
$12 million was paid in cash. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase
and the results of ONS' operations were combined with those of the Company from
the date of acquisition. Goodwill of $7.5 million, representing the excess of
acquisition cost, including reserves for certain acquisition related expenses,
over the $10.3 million estimated fair value of the net assets acquired, was
recorded at the date of acquisition, prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 109. As
discussed in Note 13 below, the assets and liabilities assumed in the
acquisition of ONS were remeasured in connection with the adoption of SFAS No.
109 by the Company. The gross balance of goodwill at June 30, 1994 was $ 2.1
million, which reflects the change for the SFAS No. 109 remeasurement and the
final purchase price allocation adjustment of $1.3 million made prior to the end
of the one year anniversary date of the acquisition. Goodwill amortization
expense for fiscal 1995, 1994 and 1993 was $0.2 million, $0.3 million and $0.1
million respectively. During fiscal 1995, the balance in Goodwill was eliminated
in connection with the reversal of remaining acquisition reserves that were no
longer required.

9. LINE OF CREDIT AND LETTERS OF CREDIT
Effective June 1994, the Company obtained a $30 million bank revolving line
of credit which also allows the Company to obtain standby letters of credit.
Borrowings under the line are unsecured and bear interest at either an adjusted
LIBOR rate plus one and one-quarter percent or the greater of the Bank's base
rate or the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus one-half of one percent, at the
Company's discretion upon borrowing the funds. Borrowings under the line are
subject to certain financial covenants and restrictions on indebtedness, equity
distributions, financial guarantees, business combinations and other related
items. The Company was in compliance with these covenants and had no borrowings
under this line as of June 30, 1995. The line expires in June 1996.
At June 30, 1995, the Company had $1.8 million of stand-by letters of
credit outstanding. The letters of credit are primarily to guarantee payments
for inventory purchases and facility lease payments. The majority of the Letters
of Credit are denominated in Japanese Yen, U.S. Dollars and French Francs and
expire on various dates through July 1, 1998.
10. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
In July 1990, the Company's Board of Directors approved a common shares
rights agreement and declared a dividend distribution, payable to stockholders
of record on August 15, 1990, of one Common Stock purchase right for each
outstanding share of its Common Stock. Initially, each right entitles the
stockholder to buy one newly issued share of the Company's Common Stock at an
exercise price of $80. The rights become exercisable (unless postponed by
41
<PAGE> 42
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
action of the disinterested directors) on the earlier of: (1) ten days following
a public announcement that a person or group has acquired, or obtained the right
to acquire, beneficial ownership of 21% or more of the outstanding Common Stock
or (2) ten days following the commencement or announcement of a tender offer or
exchange offer, the consummation of which would result in the beneficial
ownership by a person or group of 21% or more of the Company's outstanding
Common Stock.
If the Company is acquired in a merger or other business combination
transaction without approval by the Company's Board of Directors, each right not
held by the acquiring person would entitle its holder to purchase $160 worth of
the common stock of the acquiring company for $80. If any person or group
acquires 21% or more of the Company's Common Stock without approval by the
Company's Board of Directors, each right not held by the acquiring person would
entitle its holder to purchase $160 worth of the Company's Common Stock for $80.
The rights are redeemable at the Company's option for $0.01 per right.
Additionally, the exercise price, number of rights and number of common shares
that may be acquired are subject to adjustment from time to time to prevent
dilution. The rights expire on July 31, 2000. At June 30, 1995 substantially all
shares of Common Stock are subject to this agreement.
Common Stock
During fiscal 1992, a stock repurchase program was approved by the Board of
Directors whereby the Company may repurchase such shares of its Common Stock on
the open market as may reasonably be required for exercises under the 1985
Incentive Stock Option Plan and issuances under the 1987 Employee Stock Purchase
Plan. In July 1994, the Company's Board of Directors approved the repurchase of
up to 3.5 million shares of its Common Stock over a period of approximately two
years. During fiscal 1995, 1994 and 1993, the Company repurchased 1,305,600
shares, 232,000 shares, and 603,951 shares, respectively. Average prices paid
during these periods (exclusive of any put warrant proceeds) were $22 per share,
$25 per share and $22 per share, respectively. As of June 30, 1995,
approximately 1.8 million of the repurchased shares have been reissued under
employee stock plans with the balance expected to be reissued under such
plans in fiscal 1996.
During fiscal 1993 and 1995, in connection with its stock repurchase
program, the Company sold put warrants in a series of private placements, with
the intention of reducing the cost of the stock repurchase program. The put
warrants entitle the holder to sell one share of common stock to the Company for
each warrant held, at a specified price, if the holder exercises the warrant.
The activity for fiscal 1995, 1994 and 1993 is summarized as follows:

In November 1994, the Company increased the number of shares of Common

deductions of up to 10% of their compensation to purchase shares at the lower of
85% of the fair market value of the Common Stock as of the date of grant (first
day of an offering period, or for newly hired employees, the date their
participation begins) or the last day of the six-month offering period. In
fiscal 1995, 369,000 shares were purchased at an average price of $16.17
(327,000 in fiscal 1994 at an average price of $15.98 and 252,000 in fiscal 1993
at an average price of $16.04).
During fiscal 1994, the Company increased the number of shares of Common
Stock reserved for issuance under its 1985 Incentive Stock Plan from 6,300,000
to 9,600,000. In November 1994, the Company increased shares of Common Stock
reserved for issuance under the Directors' Stock Option Plan from 200,000 to
350,000. Under the plans, stock options may be granted to employees, consultants
and directors to purchase Common Stock at not less than fair market value at the
date of grant. Options become exercisable as determined by the Board of
Directors, generally over five years. However, options granted after June 1,
1994 become exercisable over four years. Options granted before November 1988
expire ten years from date of grant, while those granted after that date expire
five and one-half years from date of grant, or within six months after becoming
fully exercisable, whichever is sooner. At June 30, 1995, a total of 957,541
shares were available for future grants under the plans.
In June 1994, the Board of Directors approved a repricing of stock options
for certain employees, excluding senior management and officers. The employees
had the option of either maintaining their existing options or cancelling any
options with exercise prices greater than $17.25 and receiving new options
representing 90% of the options being cancelled. The new options' vesting
commencement date was reset to June 22, 1994 and the new options will vest at
the rate of 25% each year over four years. The options expire five and one-half
years from the grant date. The vested options may only be exercised when the
fair market value of the Company's Common Stock equals or exceeds the original
option exercise price; however, after five years and three months from June 22,
1994, the options may be exercised regardless of the fair market value of the
Company's Common Stock for up to three months. Options for up to 1,574,717
shares were qualified for the repricing. Under this repricing, options for
approximately 1,253,000 shares were cancelled and options for approximately
1,120,000 shares were granted. Fiscal 1994 activity has been adjusted in the
table below to reflect the repricing.

for notes. Notes receivable from the sale of stock bear interest at variable
rates ranging from 6.62% to 7.43% and are due at various dates through 1998. The
notes are secured, in part, by the stock issued upon exercise of the stock
options.
In October 1990, the Board of Directors authorized a restricted stock
purchase of 60,000 shares for $.001 per share by an individual who was an
officer of the Company. Deferred compensation, representing the difference
between $.001 per share and the fair market value of the shares at the date of
issuance, was amortized over the three-year vesting period. In fiscal 1994 and
1993, $55,000 and $216,000, of deferred compensation was amortized,
respectively.
11. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
During fiscal 1995, 1994 and 1993, the Company had sales of approximately
$26.0 million, $28.4 million and $23.6 million, respectively, to companies in
which a member of the Company's Board of Directors is also an officer and to a
company that owned approximately 3.8 percent, 6.5 percent and 9.0 percent of the
Company's Common Stock at June 30, 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. Amounts
due from these companies at June 30, 1995 and 1994 were $6.3 million and $2.2
million, respectively.

Cash payments for interest were $0.2 million, $0.3 million and $0.1 million
in fiscal 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
13. INCOME TAXES
Effective July 1, 1992, the Company adopted SFAS No. 109. As permitted by
SFAS No. 109, the Company elected to record the cumulative effect of adopting
this pronouncement as a change in accounting principle as of July 1, 1992, the
result of which was a reduction in fiscal 1993 net income of $0.1 million.
In accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 109, the assets acquired and
liabilities assumed in the purchase of ONS in October 1992 were remeasured. The
result of applying SFAS No. 109 to the purchase of ONS was to recognize deferred
tax assets and deferred tax liabilities for the future tax consequences of the
deductible and taxable temporary differences between the assigned fair values of
the assets and liabilities and the tax bases. In addition, a deferred tax asset
has been recognized for the tax benefit of ONS' net operating loss carryforwards
existing at the date of acquisition. A valuation allowance was recognized to
reduce the deferred tax asset to the amount more likely than not to be realized.
Goodwill, originally recorded, was reduced by $6.8 million to the difference
between the purchase

price and the values assigned to identifiable assets and liabilities, including
deferred tax assets (net of valuation allowance) and deferred tax liabilities.
In fiscal 1994, the final purchase price allocation adjustment was made (see
Note 5) which had the effect of increasing deferred tax assets by approximately
$0.9 million.
As of June 30, 1995, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of
$11.8 million, resulting from the acquisition of ONS, that expire beginning in
fiscal 1997 and ending in fiscal 2001. As mentioned above, a valuation allowance
of $3.6 million has been recognized to offset the deferred tax assets related to
those carryforwards by the tax effect of the amount of the net operating loss
carryforwards which are not likely to be utilized. If realized, the tax benefit
for those reserved items will be applied as a reduction of income tax expense.
The major components of the Company's deferred tax assets and liabilities
are as follows (in thousands):

Rent expense was $9.8 million, $12.3 million, and $11.2 million in fiscal

On July 6, 1995, the Company entered into a one year operating lease for a
parcel of undeveloped land adjacent to its current campus on which additional
offices may be constructed over the next three years. This lease provides for
monthly payments which vary based on the London interbank offering rate (LIBOR)
and requires the Company to maintain certain financial covenants similar to its
credit facilities. Future minimum lease payments under this lease are not
included in the above table. In addition, this lease provides the Company with
the option at the end of the lease of either acquiring the property at its
original cost or arranging for the property to be acquired. The Company is
contingently liable to the lessor under a 97% first-loss clause for up to $9.9
million at July 6, 1996.
15. EXPORT SALES
Export revenues to nonaffiliated customers primarily in Europe and Canada,
and to a lesser extent in New Zealand, Japan, Hong Kong and China, aggregated
$119.0 million in fiscal 1995. Export revenues were $97.4 million and $80.7
million in fiscal 1994 and 1993, respectively.
16. LITIGATION
Theis Research, Inc.
In April 1992, the Company filed suit, in California, against Theis
Research, Inc. ("Theis") for declaratory judgment that the Company's products do
not infringe three patents of Theis and that those patents are invalid. In
November 1992, Theis filed a counterclaim against the Company alleging
infringement of seven of Theis' patents. Subsequently, Theis dismissed with
prejudice the claims as to all but four of the patents. During the first quarter
of fiscal 1995, the Company engaged in a jury trial regarding infringement of
the three remaining patents and the defense of patent invalidity. In October
1994, the jury returned a verdict finding, among other things, that Octel was
correct in its claim that the three patents at issue were invalid. Post-trial
motions are pending and, if no settlement between the parties is reached, it is
anticipated that Theis will appeal the verdict.
Gilbarco, Inc.
In January 1994, Gilbarco, Inc. ("Gilbarco") filed suit in the U.S.
District Court for the District of Colorado against the Company and one of the
Company's telephone company customers, U.S. West, alleging infringement of a
Gilbarco patent and seeking unspecified damages. The Company filed an answer to
the complaint denying any infringement of the patent and raising several
affirmative defenses, including an assertion that the patent is invalid and
unenforceable. In September 1994, the claims asserted against the Company were
transferred to the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California
and those claims asserted against U.S. West were stayed and administratively
closed pending the outcome of the California action. Fact discovery in the case
has been completed, expert discovery is scheduled for completion in December
1995 and a trial date has been set for March 19, 1996. The Company is currently
planning to file one or more motions before the trial which could dispose of
some or all of the claims asserted against it.
47
<PAGE> 48
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
The Company believes, based upon information currently available, including
consultations with patent counsel, that the Company is not infringing any valid
patents of Theis or Gilbarco. The Company will vigorously defend the patent
infringement claims and any related claims for compensatory damages. Legal
expenses related to ongoing patent litigation were approximately $0.9 million in
fiscal 1995. While litigation is inherently uncertain, the Company believes that
the ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect
on the Company's financial position.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Octel Communications Corporation
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Octel
Communications Corporation and subsidiaries as of June 30, 1995 and 1994, and
the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders' equity and cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 1995. In
connection with our audits of the consolidated financial statements, we have
also audited the financial statement schedule as listed in the accompanying
Index at Item 8. 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, such consolidated financial statements present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of Octel Communications
Corporation and its subsidiaries as of June 30, 1995 and 1994, and the results
of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the
period ended June 30, 1995 in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles. Also, in our opinion, such 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.

Exhibit 10.3
TO: Participants DATE: November 1, 1994
FROM: Bob Cohn
SUBJECT: FY95 SENIOR EMPLOYEE AND MANAGEMENT BONUS PLAN
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We have a new Senior Employee Bonus Plan. The purpose of this plan is to provide
an incentive for key senior employees who are not in other incentive plans, and
who are in a position to contribute significantly to our Company's success in
meeting its financial targets, satisfying customers and achieving its key
objectives.
NEW DIRECTION
The bonus plan for this fiscal year needed to change to reflect the new
direction and changing needs of the Company. In our previous plan, the focus on
personal objectives (equal to half of the overall bonus amount) created a
situation whereby participants could complete their individual objectives, and
even if the Company fell short of its business targets, the employee could still
receive a substantial bonus. The personal objectives tended to be hard to define
and measure, changed frequently during the plan year, and consumed a lot of
energy that often didn't pay off. There was also no substantial upside potential
for exceeding targets in the old plan or rewarding exceptional contributions.
The new plan will more closely tie your incentive potential with the company
financial objectives for FY95, and will contain up-side and down-side potential
depending upon our performance as a team in meeting key objectives, and the
results of a Customer Satisfaction Survey. In this new plan, there are three
opportunities to increase your target bonus percent: if we out-perform
financially, if we achieve our main Corporate Objectives, and if we make
customers happy.
The bonus calculation works like this:
<TABLE>
<S> <C> <C> <C> <C> <C> <C>
- -------------- ------------- ---------------------- -----------------------
Target Bonus Performance Corporate Objectives Customer Satisfaction
Percent X Factor X Modifier X Modifier
- -------------- ------------- ---------------------- -----------------------
</TABLE>
The rest of this memo will describe in detail how each of these factors are
calculated; but the idea is simple -- hit or exceed our financial targets,
execute well so we achieve our Corporate objectives and make customers happy!
PLAN COMPONENTS
Target Bonus Percent
Each participant in the plan is assigned a target bonus percentage (of base
salary) based on his or her job level, performance history and external market
norms. Your manager will notify you of your particular target for FY95.
<PAGE> 2

FY95 Bonus Plan
Performance Factor
The Company financial performance targets for FY95, as set by the Board of
Directors, are as follows: $485M in revenue and $64.6M in operating income. The
Performance Factor is the average of how we did in revenue and income versus
plan. At the end of the year, the Performance Factor will be calculated
according to the following formula:
<TABLE>
<S> <C> <C> <C> <C>
Actual Revenue Actual Operating Income Company
-------------- + ----------------------- divided by 2 Performance
Revenue Plan Operating Income Plan Level
</TABLE>
The Performance Factor contains a 2:1 upside and downside slope. For example, if
we do an average of 10% better than plan, the Performance Factor will increase
by 20%. The Factor will be multiplied by your individual target bonus percentage
so it can increase or decrease the bonus depending on how well we do. There is
no maximum upside to this factor (even though the chart stops at 150% of plan).
HOWEVER, NO BONUS WILL BE PAID IF REVENUE IS BELOW 90% OF PLAN OR OPERATING
INCOME FALLS BELOW 85% OF PLAN, REGARDLESS OF ATTAINMENT OF BUSINESS OBJECTIVES
OR CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PERFORMANCE GOALS. The incentive bonus pool will be
funded as follows:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
COMPANY PERFORMANCE
PERFORMANCE FACTOR
--------------- --------------
<S> <C>
(up arrow) 150% (up arrow) 2.0
140 1.8
130 1.6
120 1.4
110 1.2
100 1.0
90 0.8
87.5 0.75
(less than)87.5 0
</TABLE>
Let's look at a couple of examples of how the Performance Factor might be
calculated:
(1) If revenue is achieved at 105% of plan and operating income is achieved at
115% of plan, the Factor would be calculated as follows:
<TABLE>
<S> <C>
105% (revenue) + 115% (operating income)
---------------------------------------- = [220% divided by 2] = 110% = Factor of 1.3
2
</TABLE>
<PAGE> 3
Page 3
FY95 Bonus Plan
(2) If revenue is achieved at 95% of plan and operating income is achieved at
85% of plan, the Factor would be calculated as follows:
<TABLE>
<S> <C>
95% (revenue) + 85% (operating income)
-------------------------------------- = [180% divided by 2] = 90% = Factor of 0.8
2
</TABLE>
Business Objective Modifier
The Performance Factor above will be adjusted depending on how well we, as a
company, achieve our five key business objectives. The incentive bonus pool
could increase by a multiple up to 2.4 for over achievement or decrease by a
multiple as low as 0.3 for under achievement.
This part of the bonus plan will measure performance on the following
objectives:
- Achieve Q1 FY95/Q4 96 average gross margin of 64.4%
- Reduce operating expenses by $4.0M to 47.9% for FY95
- Regain competitive position by completing projects
- Improve customer satisfaction as measured by the customer
satisfaction index
- Lower our cost of doing business by achieving schedule of the QTC
project, CS consolidation and Manufacturing consolidation.
Attached are the slides on the Business Objective Modifer from Bob Cohn's
November 1st Senior Staff presentation that outlines the measures for the
objectives.
Customer Satisfaction Modifier
The bonus calculation will be further modified based upon input from our
customers. We will be doing a survey shortly and again in mid 1995. If we
improve from one survey to the next, the bonus will increase. The survey will
measure satisfaction not just with failure-related service, but how the customer
perceives us as a whole our sales people, our marketing folks, people who answer
the phones, our credit and collections department, manufacturing, etc. It's
quite broad. If customer satisfaction improves, your bonus will be modified
upward by a multiple of 1.15. If ratings decline, your bonus will decrease by a
multiplier of .85. In this way, we hope to focus more direct attention on
improving overall customer satisfaction.
The Customer Satisfaction Survey will focus on responses from our North American
customers.1 We are also surveying customers from four CPE competitors and three
VIS competitors.
Octel's 1994 Customer Satisfaction Survey is targeted for kick-off on October 1,
1994. Results will be available 10 weeks after the survey begins. We plan to
re-survey customers next June to measure our improvement.
- --------
(1) The survey in future years will encompass all areas of the Company. Until
the survey is global, the sentiment of our overseas customers will be factored
in by the management of our international organizations.

EXAMPLES
Once again, the bonus calculation works like this:
<TABLE>
<S> <C> <C> <C> <C> <C> <C>
- -------------- ------------- ---------------------- -----------------------
Target Bonus Performance Corporate Objectives Customer Satisfaction
Percent X Factor X Modifier X Modifier
- -------------- ------------- ---------------------- -----------------------
</TABLE>
(1) Here is an example of how the plan would work if we were to OVER ACHIEVE
our targets:
Assumptions:
- Individual Target Bonus = 20% of salary
- Revenue vs. Plan = 115%
- Operating Income vs. Plan = 105%
- Performance Factor = 1.2
- Corporate Objectives Modifier = 1.5
- Customer Satisfaction Modifier = 1.15
20% x 1.2 x 1.5 x 1.15 = 41.4% x Base Salary = Bonus Payout
(2) Here is an example if we were to MISS our targets:
Assumptions:
- Individual Target Bonus = 20% of salary
- Revenue vs. Plan = 95%
- Operating Income vs Plan = 85%
- Performance Factor = 0.8
- Corporate Objectives Modifier = .3
- Customer Satisfaction Modifier = .85
20% x 0.8 x 0.3 x 0.85 = 4.8% x Base Salary = Bonus Payout
CONCLUSION
I hope you find that the bonus plan aligns everyone toward the same goals. Your
bonus award is subject to the specific terms and conditions of the plan document
to be mailed to you separately. Bonuses will be distributed as soon as practical
after the close of the fiscal year. To be eligible to receive a bonus, you must
be employed by the company on the last working day of the fiscal year.
We appreciate your efforts and contributions on behalf of the Company and look
forward to fiscal year 1995 as being a rewarding year for all of us.

ARTICLE 4
TERM
4.1 TERM. The Term of this Lease is specified in Article 1.
4.2 HOLDING OVER. If Tenant remains in possession of the Premises
after the expiration of the Term without executing a new lease, such holding

continuing thereafter throughout the Term, Tenant shall pay Base Rent to
Landlord, or at such other place as Landlord may from time to time instruct.
Tenant shall pay Base Rent by wire transfer. Landlord shall supply Tenant with

5.2 PRORATION. If the Term expires or is otherwise terminated on

ARTICLE 6
TAXES
6.1 REAL ESTATE TAXES.
(a) Tenant shall pay, during the Term of this Lease, directly
to the appropriate taxing authority all Real Estate Taxes (as defined below). If
the Term expires or otherwise terminates at any time other than the beginning or
end of a taxable year, Tenant's obligation to pay Real Estate Taxes shall be
prorated on the basis of a 365-day year, so as to include only that portion of
the taxable year which is a part of the Term.
(b) Except to the extent that Real Estate Tax bills and
statements are sent directly to Tenant by the taxing authority, upon receipt by
Landlord of the tax bills or statements, Landlord will use reasonable efforts to
promptly advise Tenant in writing of all Real Estate Taxes and shall deliver
copies of all applicable tax bills or statements to Tenant. Tenant shall pay
directly to the taxing authority all Real Estate Taxes prior to the later of (i)
thirty (30) days after receipt by Tenant from Landlord of a copy of such bills
and statements referred to above, or (ii) five (5) business days prior to
delinquency. As used herein, the term "Real Estate Taxes" shall mean any and all
taxes, governmental fees and similar charges or assessments levied or assessed
against the improvements and/or the Land including, without limitation, ad
valorem taxes and special assessments applicable to real property; provided,
however, that Real Estate Taxes shall not include any Landlord Taxes (as defined
below). Real Estate Taxes shall also include any and all documentary, transfer,
sales, mortgage, recording or similar taxes imposed on Landlord or Tenant in
connection with any sale of the Premises to a third party in accordance with
this Lease following an Event of Default by Tenant or in a transaction to which
Tenant is a party. As used herein, the term "Landlord Taxes" shall mean any and
all franchise, gains, gift, succession, excess profits, gross receipts, revenue,
estate, rental, income or similar taxes or taxes in lieu thereof imposed upon
Landlord or any party other than Tenant (or an affiliate thereof) and any
withholding tax imposed as a collection device for, in lieu of, or otherwise
related to any of the foregoing without regard to whether such tax is required
to be collected by Tenant and without regard to whether Tenant would be liable
for such withholding tax in the event it failed to so withhold. For purposes of
the foregoing, an income tax shall include, without limitation, any tax imposed
under the United States Internal Revenue Code, as well as any tax which could
qualify as an "income tax" under United States Treasury Regulation Section
1.901-2 (except to the extent any such statute or regulation is subsequently
modified to include a tax or other governmental charge of a materially different
type and nature from the taxes currently described therein) and any income tax
which may be payable under the laws of any jurisdiction either now or in the
future. Real Estate Taxes for any given tax year shall exclude assessment
installments that are not due and payable during such tax year.
9
<PAGE> 19
6.2 PERSONAL PROPERTY TAXES. Tenant shall pay directly to the
appropriate taxing authorities prior to delinquency any and all taxes and
assessments levied or assessed during the Term upon or against Tenant's
furniture, equipment, trade fixtures and any other personal property in the
Premises.
6.3 RIGHT TO CONTEST. Tenant shall not be required to pay any Real
Estate Taxes or any other taxes for which Tenant is liable hereunder (including,
without limitation, any taxes for which Tenant is required to indemnify Landlord
under Section 19.1) (including penalties and interest), so long as (i) Tenant
shall contest the same or the validity thereof by appropriate legal proceedings
in such a manner to prevent the tax sale of any portion of the Premises and (ii)
the position to be taken by Tenant pursuant to such contest would have a
realistic possibility of success if litigated. For purposes of this Lease,
Tenant may conclusively establish that a position to be taken in a contest would
have a realistic possibility of success if litigated by providing to Landlord a
letter from counsel stating an opinion to such effect. In the event of any such
contest, Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days after the final determination
thereof, pay and discharge the amounts determined to be due in accordance
therewith and with the provisions of this Lease, together with any penalties,
fines, interest, costs and expenses that may have accrued thereon or that may
have resulted from Tenant's contest. Tenant also shall have a right to contest
any taxes for which it is liable hereunder, but with regard to which the
position to be taken pursuant to such contest would not have a realistic
possibility of success if litigated, provided that Tenant pays such taxes on or
prior to the date upon which such taxes are asserted to be due by the relevant
governmental authority. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section
6.3, Tenant shall have an unconditional right to contest (without prior payment)
any taxes imposed by law upon Tenant rather than upon Landlord. Tenant's
decision to pay any taxes prior to contesting its or another party's underlying
liability therefore shall not be deemed to imply or suggest that the position to
be taken in such contest would not have a realistic possibility of success if
litigated. Landlord shall cooperate fully with Tenant in connection with the
exercise of Tenant's right of contest contained herein, and in the event that
applicable law shall require that Landlord, rather than Tenant, pursue legal
proceedings for such contest, Landlord will initiate and pursue such contest
upon Tenant's request and in accordance with Tenant's instructions (including,
without limitation, Tenant's instructions as to the selection of legal counsel
and matters of strategy or settlement); provided, however, that Landlord shall
not be subject to any liability for the payment of any costs or expenses in
connection with any such contest or proceedings, and Tenant will indemnify and
save harmless Landlord from any such costs and expenses (including, without
limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees, costs of court and appraisal costs),
reimbursing Landlord therefor upon demand (or paying such costs and expenses
directly when due, all as directed by Landlord). Tenant shall be entitled to any
refund of any taxes and penalties or interest from any governmental authority to
the extent the refund represents monies paid to the governmental authority by
Tenant or paid by Landlord and reimbursed by Tenant.
6.4 ADDITIONAL CHARGES. All payments made by Tenant under this
Lease shall be made free and clear of, and without reduction or withholding for
or on account of, any
10
<PAGE> 20
present or future taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or
withholdings, now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed
pursuant to any Legal Requirement, excluding, however, any Landlord Taxes (all
such nonexcluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings
being hereinafter called "Additional Charges"). Tenant shall be responsible for
the payment of any such Additional Charges; and if any such Additional Charges
are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to Landlord hereunder, then
the amounts so payable to Landlord shall be increased by an amount ("Additional
Amount") necessary to yield to Landlord (after payment of all Additional
Charges) the Base Rent and other amounts payable hereunder at the rates or in
the amounts specified in this Lease. Whenever any Additional Charges are
required to be withheld by Tenant, such Additional Charges shall be deducted or
withheld by Tenant, and shall be paid by Tenant to the appropriate governmental
authority in accordance with applicable Legal Requirements. As promptly as
possible thereafter, Tenant shall send to Landlord for its own account a copy of
an original official receipt (or other evidence of payment) received by Tenant
showing payment thereof. If Tenant is required to pay Landlord any Additional
Amount, Landlord shall use its best efforts (consistent with its internal policy
and legal and regulatory restrictions) to change its jurisdiction if the making
of such a change would avoid the need for, or reduce to the greatest extent
possible the amount of, any such Additional Amount which may thereafter accrue
and would not, in the reasonable judgment of Landlord be otherwise
disadvantageous to Landlord. If Landlord subsequently receives a refund of any
Additional Amounts, or if such Additional Amounts result in a net benefit to
Landlord, the amount of such refund or net benefit shall be paid to Tenant
within 30 days of the receipt of such refund or net benefit; provided, however,
that the payment to Tenant shall not exceed the Additional Amount to which the
refund or net benefit relates. The agreements in this Section 6.4 shall survive
the termination of this Lease with respect to any Additional Charges that become
due during the Term.
ARTICLE 7
INSURANCE
7.1 LIABILITY INSURANCE. At all times during the Term, Tenant
shall obtain at Tenant's sole cost and expense a policy or policies of
comprehensive general liability insurance on an "occurrence" basis against
claims for "personal injury" liability, including bodily injury, death or
property damage liability. The liability insurance policy shall contain coverage
limits no less than the following: (1) Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000) per
person; (2) Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) per incident; and (3) One Million
Dollars ($1,000,000) for property damage.
7.2 BUILDERS' RISK INSURANCE. With respect to any improvements
which may be under construction and not yet covered by insurance under the terms
of Section 7.3, Tenant shall maintain or cause to be maintained a policy or
policies of builders' risk insurance in an amount equal to the value upon
completion of the work (exclusive of land, foundation, excavation, grading,
landscaping, architectural and development fees and other items customarily
excluded from such coverage), insuring against the risks customarily insured
11
<PAGE> 21
against under such insurance, including fire, vandalism, malicious mischief,
sprinkler leakage, lightning, and windstorm.
7.3 ALL-RISK INSURANCE. With respect to any improvement now or
hereafter situated on the Land, prior to the termination of the builders' risk
insurance required by Section 7.2, and at all times thereafter, Tenant shall, at
Tenant's sole cost and expense, obtain and maintain, or cause to be obtained and
maintained, (a) a policy or policies of all-risk insurance covering the
improvements, providing coverage against loss or damage by fire, vandalism,
malicious mischief, sprinkler leakage, lightning, windstorm, and other insurable
perils, as, under good insurance practice, from time to time are insured against
under all-risk coverage for properties of similar character, age and location in
an amount or amounts not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the then actual
replacement cost (exclusive of land, foundation, excavations, grading,
landscaping, architectural and development fees and other items customarily
excluded from such coverage and without any deduction for
depreciation); (b) standard earthquake coverage, with a deductible not to exceed
ten percent (10%) of the insured amount; and (c) standard flood coverage.
Provided, however Tenant may elect not to obtain earthquake insurance, in which
case Tenant shall covenant to pay the cost of repairing damage to the
improvements caused by an earthquake.
7.4 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS. The insurance required under this
Article 7 may be furnished under a "primary" policy and an "umbrella" policy or
policies. Landlord shall be named as an additional insured under Tenant's policy
of insurance required under Section 7.1; and such policies shall contain an
endorsement for cross-liability coverage. Tenant shall furnish Landlord with
certificates from Tenant's insurers with respect to the insurance required to be
carried hereunder on or before the date such insurance is required to be
carried. The certificates shall state that such insurance is in full force and
effect and that coverage will not be reduced below the amounts required under
Section 7.1 or otherwise limited or cancelled without thirty (30) days' prior
written notice to Landlord. Renewal certificates shall be furnished to Landlord
not less than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of each such policy,
provided, however, that Tenant shall not be required to provide Landlord with
such renewal certificates prior to the expiration of each such policy so long as
(i) Tenant provides Landlord with reasonable assurances within ten (10) days
prior to the expiration of each such policy that there will be no lapse in the
insurance coverage provided under such policy, and (ii) Tenant provides Landlord
with such renewal certificates within ten (10) days following the expiration of
each such policy. Any blanket insurance policy or policies that insure Tenant
against the risks and for the amounts herein specified shall be deemed to
satisfy the obligation of Tenant hereunder, provided that any such policy of
blanket insurance shall specify the amount of the total insurance allocated to
the risks required to be insured hereunder and such allocated amount meets the
requirements of this Article 7. All insurance required by this Article 7 shall
be with an insurance company licensed to do business in the State of California
with a general policyholder's rating, as rated by the most current available
"Bests" Insurance Reports, and no less than A/III and non-contributing.

<PAGE> 22
7.5 WAIVER OF SUBROGATION. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, to the extent permitted by law and so long as any
insurance coverage maintained by Tenant is not diminished by reason thereof,
Tenant hereby (a) releases and waives any rights it may have against Landlord
and its officers, agents and employees on account of any loss or damages
occasioned to Tenant, its property or the Premises, and arising from any risk
covered by any fire and extended coverage insurance maintained by Tenant,
whether or not due to the negligence of Landlord, its agents, employees,
contractors, licensees, invitees or other persons, and (b) waives on behalf of
any insurer providing such insurance to Tenant any right of subrogation that any
such insurer may have or acquire against Landlord or such persons by virtue of
payment of any loss under such insurance. Tenant shall use its commercially
reasonable efforts to cause its insurance policies to contain a waiver of
subrogation clauses in accordance with the foregoing.
7.6 INDEMNITY. After receiving written notice from Landlord of a
claim (failure to give such notice shall not relieve Tenant of its obligations
hereunder unless as a direct result of failure to give such notice), Tenant
shall protect, defend, indemnify, hold and save Landlord harmless from and
against any and all losses, costs, liabilities or damages (including reasonable
attorneys' fees and disbursements and court costs) arising by reason of: (i) any
and all injury or death of persons or damage to property against which Tenant is
obligated to maintain insurance for the benefit of Landlord pursuant to this
Article 7; (ii) the failure to obtain the waiver of subrogation clause required
by Section 7.5 hereof where such clause could have been obtained through the
exercise of Tenant's commercially reasonable efforts; or (iii) the invalidation
of such insurance policy required to be obtained by Tenant hereunder by Tenant's
insurer; provided this subsection (iii) shall not apply to the extent Landlord
actually receives insurance for the aforesaid losses, costs, liabilities or
damages (including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements and court costs
but excluding costs, fees or premiums paid by Landlord in connection with such
insurance) or to the extent recovery of insurance proceeds is prevented by
Landlord's gross negligence. Tenant's duty to indemnify Landlord under this
Section 7.6 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease
with respect to events occurring during the Term. Landlord agrees to cooperate
with Tenant in the defense of any claim undertaken by Tenant pursuant to this
Section.

"CERCLA"), the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976, as amended by the
Used Oil Recycling Act of 1980, the Solid Waste Disposal Act Amendments of 1980,
the Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments of 1984 or otherwise (as amended,
hereinafter called "RCRA"), and the California Health & Safety Code Section
25501(j). The terms "hazardous substance" and "release" as used in this Lease
shall have the meanings specified in CERCLA, and the terms "solid waste" and
"disposal" (or "disposed") shall have the meanings specified in RCRA; provided,
in the event either CERCLA or RCRA is amended or superseded by other laws so as
to broaden the meaning of any term defined thereby, such broader meaning shall
apply subsequent to the effective date of such amendment or other laws: and,
provided further, to the extent that the laws of the State of California
establish a meaning for "hazardous substance", "release", "solid waste", or
"disposal" which is broader than that specified in either CERCLA or RCRA, such
broader meaning shall apply.
2) TENANT'S COVENANTS. Tenant will not cause
or permit the Premises to be in violation of, or do anything or permit anything
to be done which subjects Landlord, Tenant or the Premises to any remedial
obligations relating to the Premises under or which creates a valid claim or
cause of action against Landlord, Tenant (which relates to the Premises) or the
Premises under, any Applicable Environmental Laws, including, without
limitation, CERCLA, RCRA, and the California Health and Safety Code 25501(j),
assuming disclosure to the applicable governmental authorities of all relevant
facts, conditions and circumstances, if any, pertaining to the Premises and
Tenant will promptly notify Landlord in writing of any existing, pending or
threatened investigation, claim or inquiry of which Tenant has knowledge by any
governmental authority in connection with any Applicable Environmental Laws.
Tenant shall obtain any permits, licenses or similar authorizations to
construct, occupy, operate or use any improvements, fixtures and equipment at
any time located on the Premises by reason of any Applicable Environmental Laws.
Tenant will not use the Premises in a manner which will result in the disposal
or other release of any hazardous substance or solid waste on or to the Premises
in violation of Applicable Environmental Law and covenants and agrees to keep or
cause the Premises to be kept free of any hazardous substance, solid waste or
environmental contaminants (including, without limitation, arsenic in soil and
friable asbestos and any substance containing asbestos deemed hazardous by any
Applicable Environmental Law) to the extent required by Applicable Environmental
Law, and to remove the amounts of the same (or if removal is prohibited by law,
to take whatever action is required by law) promptly upon discovery at Tenant's
sole expense to the extent required by Applicable Environmental Law. Tenant
shall promptly notify Landlord in writing of any disposal or other release of
any hazardous substance, environmental contaminants or solid wastes on or to the
Premises in violation of Applicable Environmental Law. In the event Tenant fails
to comply with or perform any of the foregoing covenants and obligations, after
thirty (30) days' prior written Notice to Tenant, Landlord may, but shall be
under no obligation to, cause the Premises to be freed from such hazardous
substance, solid waste or environmental contaminants (or if removal is
prohibited by law, to take whatever action is required by law) to the extent
required by Applicable Environmental
14
<PAGE> 24
Law and the reasonable cost of the removal or such other action shall be a
demand obligation owing by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to this Lease.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall have no right to cause the removal
of such materials and no Event of Default (or default) shall be deemed to have
occurred under this Lease so long as Tenant both: (1) is diligently and in good
faith proceeding to comply with Tenant's obligation to remove such amounts of
such materials; and (2) has the financial ability to so comply. Subject to the
foregoing, Tenant grants to Landlord and Landlord's agents and employees access
to the Premises, and the license to remove such hazardous substance, solid waste
or environmental contaminants (or if removal is prohibited by law, to take
whatever action is required by law to the extent required by Applicable
Environmental Law); and except for Landlord's willful misconduct or gross
negligence, agrees to indemnify and save Landlord harmless from all reasonable
costs and expenses involved and from all claims (including consequential
damages) asserted or proven against Landlord by any party in connection
therewith. Upon Landlord's reasonable request for "good cause" (defined below),
at any time and from time to time during the Term, Tenant will provide at
Tenant's sole expense an inspection or audit of the Premises from an engineering
or consulting firm approved by Landlord, indicating the presence or absence of
any hazardous substance, solid waste or environmental contaminants located on
the Premises. If Tenant fails to provide same after sixty (60) days' notice,
Landlord may order same, and Tenant grants to Landlord and Landlord's employees
and agents access to the Premises and a license to undertake any testing
reasonably required to obtain such inspection or audit. The reasonable cost of
obtaining such inspection or audit and any expenses incurred by Landlord in
connection therewith, shall be a demand obligation owing by Tenant to Landlord
pursuant to this Lease. For purposes of this Section 8.1(b)(2), "good cause"
shall mean that Landlord shall have reasonable grounds to believe that release
or disposal of hazardous substances or solid wastes in violation of Applicable
Environmental Law has occurred on the Premises.
(c) COMPLIANCE WITH LEGAL REQUIREMENTS. Tenant shall at
all-times comply with all material Legal Requirements applicable to the Land or
any improvements now or hereafter situated on the Land and/or the use thereof.
8.2 CONTEST OF LEGAL REQUIREMENTS. Tenant shall have the right at
its sole cost and expense to contest the validity of any Legal Requirements
applicable to the Premises by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted in
good faith; and upon the request of Tenant and at Tenant's sole cost and
expense, Landlord will join and cooperate with Tenant in such proceedings.
Subject to Section 6.3, and any other provision of this Lease to the contrary
notwithstanding, Tenant's right to contest Legal Requirements must be exercised
in such a manner as to avoid any exposure of the Premises or any part thereof to
foreclosure or execution sale or exposure of Landlord to civil or criminal
penalties arising from Tenant's non-compliance with such Legal Requirements.
Tenant shall defend and indemnify Landlord against, and hold Landlord harmless
from, any and all liability, loss, cost, damage, injury or expense (including,
without limitation, attorneys' fees and costs) which Landlord may sustain or
suffer by reason of Tenant's failure or delay in complying with, or Tenant's
contest of, any such Legal Requirements (or Landlord's contest, if requested in
writing by Tenant), and
15
<PAGE> 25
Tenant's duty to indemnify Landlord under this Section 8.2 shall survive the
expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.
ARTICLE 9
UTILITIES AND SERVICES
9.1 SERVICES TO THE PREMISES. At Tenant's sole cost and expense,
Tenant shall make its own arrangements for the provision of all utilities and
services to be provided to or consumed on the Premises, including, without
limitation, air conditioning and ventilation, service contracts, heating,
electric power, telephone, water (both domestic and fire protection), sanitary
sewer, storm drain, natural gas and janitorial services, including for the
installation, maintenance and repair of service lines and meters to measure
Tenant's consumption of such utilities.
ARTICLE 10
MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS; SURRENDER OF THE PREMISES

excepted.

below, upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, Tenant shall
surrender the Premises to Landlord in its then "AS-IS" condition, including,
without limitation, any condition resulting from: (i) wear and tear; (ii)
obsolescence and damage by fire or other casualty, act of God or the elements;
(iii) damage that is caused by Landlord, its agents, employees or contractors;
and (iv) any improvements, in, to or of the Premises or on the Land which are
not Tenant's Property which Tenant may elect to remain on the Land or the
Premises. Title to all Tenant's Property, shall be and remain in Tenant, and at
any time during the Term of this Lease, the same may be removed by Tenant, or,
at Tenant's abandonment or written election, surrender with the Premises, in
which event title to such surrendered property shall, if Landlord so elects in
Landlord's sole discretion, be deemed transferred to Landlord. Any of such
property that is not removed from the Premises on or prior to the expiration or
early termination of this Lease shall be considered abandoned and Landlord may
deal with it as Landlord elects.
ARTICLE 11
ASSIGNMENT BY LANDLORD
11.1 FURTHER MORTGAGES OR ENCUMBRANCES BY LANDLORD. Except for the

16
<PAGE> 26
11.2 LANDLORD'S RIGHT TO SELL. Landlord may not transfer all or
any portion of its right, title and interest in the Premises; provided, however
that nothing contained in this Lease shall be deemed in any way to limit,
restrict or otherwise affect the right of Landlord at any time and from time to
time to sell or transfer all but not less than all of its right, title and
estate in the Premises to: (1) a Landlord Affiliate or another financial
institution (excluding, however, a non-substantive entity that is formed
specifically for purposes of owning the Premises subject to this Lease and has
no other substantive operations or which is a special purpose entity under the
provisions of EITF 90-15) with a capitalization in excess of $50,000,000; or (2)
if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such sale
or transfer, to any Entity. Any sale or transfer by Landlord whatsoever shall by
its express terms recognize and confirm the right of possession of Tenant to the
Premises and Tenant's other rights arising out of this Lease shall not be
affected or disturbed in any way by any such sale, transfer, assignment or
conveyance (except for any disturbance resulting from a foreclosure sale
conducted pursuant to the laws of the State of California at which independent
third party bids were permitted pursuant to the SBLF Deed of Trust), and any
transferee shall expressly assume in writing all obligations of Landlord to be
performed following the date of transfer.
11.3 TRANSFER OF FUNDS AND PROPERTY. At each time Landlord sells,
assigns, transfers or conveys the entire right, title and estate of Landlord in
the Premises and in this Lease, Landlord shall turn over to the transferee any
funds or other property then held by Landlord under this Lease and thereupon all
the liabilities and obligations on the part of the Landlord under this Lease
arising after the effective date of such sale, assignment, transfer or
conveyance shall terminate as to the transferor and be binding upon the
transferee.
ARTICLE 12
ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLEASING
12.1 RIGHT TO ASSIGN.
(a) TENANT'S RIGHT. Provided that there is not an Event
of Default under this Lease which is continuing and uncured or if there is such
an Event of Default, provided that Tenant cures the Default in connection with
the assignment, Tenant shall have the right, at any time and from time to time
during the Term, to assign all or any portion of its right, title and estate in
the Premises and in this Lease without approval by Landlord. Any such assignee,
immediate or remote, shall have the same right of assignment. Any such
assignment shall be evidenced by a written instrument, properly executed and
acknowledged by all parties thereto and, at Tenant's election, duly recorded in
the Official Records, wherein and whereby the assignee assumes all of the
obligations of Tenant under this Lease. Notwithstanding any such assignment and
assumption or any sublease permitted under Section 12.2 hereof, Tenant
shall remain primarily liable for all obligations and liabilities on the part of
Tenant theretofore or thereafter arising under this Lease.
17

ARTICLE 13
EMINENT DOMAIN
13.1 TOTAL OR SUBSTANTIAL TAKING. If title or access is taken for
any public or quasi-public use, or under any statute or by right of condemnation
or eminent domain, or by sale in lieu thereof (a "Taking") with respect to all
of the Premises, or if title to so much of the Premises or access thereto is
Taken, or if the Premises or access thereto is damaged, blocked or impaired by
the Taking, so that, in Tenant's reasonable discretion, the Premises or access
thereto, even after a reasonable amount of reconstruction thereof, will no
longer be suitable for the conduct of Tenant's (and/or Tenant's subtenants')
business, then in any such event, this Lease shall terminate on the date of such
Taking.
13.2 PARTIAL TAKING. If any part of the Premises, or access
thereto, shall be Taken, and the Premises or the remaining part thereof and
access thereto will be, in Tenant's reasonable discretion, suitable for the
conduct of Tenant's (and/or Tenant's subtenants') business in a manner
consistent with the conduct of such business prior to such Taking, all of the
terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease shall continue, except that Base
Rent shall be adjusted to reflect the decreased Lease Investment Balance
remaining after application thereto of the award made to Landlord for such
Taking.
13.3 TEMPORARY TAKING. If the whole or any part of the Premises is
Taken for temporary use or occupancy, this Lease shall not terminate by reason
thereof and Tenant shall continue to pay, in the manner and at the times herein
specified, the full amount of the Base Rent payable by Tenant hereunder, and,
except only to the extent that Tenant may be prevented from so doing by reason
of such Taking, Tenant shall continue to perform and observe all of the other
terms, covenants and conditions hereof on the part of Tenant to be performed and
observed, as though the Taking had not occurred. In the event of any such
18
<PAGE> 28
temporary Taking, Tenant shall be entitled to receive the entire amount of the
award made for the Taking, whether paid by way of damages, rent or otherwise. If
the temporary Taking is for a term in excess of thirty (30) days, then the
Taking shall be treated as a permanent Taking and be governed by Sections 13.1
or 13.2, as applicable.
13.4 DAMAGES. The compensation attributable to the Premises (in
each case the compensation or value shall be determined as of the date of the
Taking) awarded or paid upon any Taking (other than a temporary Taking, which
shall be governed by Section 13.3), whether awarded to Landlord, Tenant, or both
of them, shall be held by Landlord to be applied against the Lease Investment
Balance, including all accrued and unpaid Base Rent and Additional Rent. Any
compensation in excess of the Lease Investment Balance plus all accrued and
unpaid Base Rent and Additional Rent shall be paid to Tenant.
13.5 NOTICE AND EXECUTION. Immediately upon service of process
upon Landlord or Tenant in connection with any Taking relating to the Premises
or any portion thereof or access thereto, each party shall give the other Notice
thereof. Each party agrees to execute and deliver to the other all instruments
that may be required to effectuate the provisions of this Article 13. Tenant
reserves the right to appear in and to contest any proceedings in connection
with any such Taking. Tenant shall immediately reimburse Landlord on demand for
all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in
complying with Landlord's obligations under this Section 13.5.
ARTICLE 14
DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION

the proceeds of any insurance policies maintained by Tenant pursuant to Section
7.2 or 7.3 shall be held, applied and dealt with as follows:

attributable to the Premises shall be paid as follows: (1) to Landlord (but only
to the extent of the then-existing Lease Investment Balance); and (2) with any
remaining excess to be paid to Tenant.
(b) Any insurance proceeds paid to Landlord under this Article
14 shall reduce the Lease Investment Balance by a like amount.
ARTICLE 15
QUIET ENJOYMENT
15.1 QUIET ENJOYMENT. Landlord covenants to secure to Tenant the
quiet possession of the Premises for the full Term against all persons claiming
the same, by, through or in the right of Landlord, subject to Landlord's rights
and remedies under Article 16 upon an Event of Default by Tenant. The existence
of any Permitted Title Exceptions shall not be
19
<PAGE> 29
deemed to constitute a breach of Landlord's obligations hereunder. Tenant shall,
immediately upon demand, reimburse Landlord for all reasonable costs, expenses
and damages incurred or paid by Landlord in the performance of Landlord's
obligations under this Article 15 (except for any costs, expenses or damages
arising from any Landlord liens or Landlord's willful breach of this Lease).
ARTICLE 16
DEFAULT
16.1 DEFAULT. Each of the following events shall constitute an
event of default ("Event of Default") by Tenant:
(a) FAILURE TO PAY BASE RENT. Tenant's failure to pay any
Base Rent within five (5) days after the due date.
(b) FAILURE TO PAY ADDITIONAL RENT. Tenant's failure to
pay any Additional Rent which is due to Landlord within five (5) days after the
due date under this Lease (which due date shall be the date of Tenant's receipt
of Notice from Landlord that such Additional Rent is due).
(c) FAILURE TO CARRY INSURANCE. Tenant's failure to carry
any policy of insurance required by Article 7, and Tenant shall not cure such
failure prior to ten (10) days after written notice thereof is sent to Tenant.
If such failure is susceptible of cure but cannot with reasonable diligence be
cured within such ten day period, and if Tenant shall promptly have commenced to
cure the same and shall thereafter prosecute the curing thereof with reasonable
diligence, the period within which such failure may be cured shall be extended
for such further period (not to exceed an additional ten days beyond the initial
ten days cure period) as shall be reasonably necessary for the curing thereof.
(d) INSOLVENCY. Subject to Section 16.2, the occurrence
of: (i) an assignment by Tenant for the benefit of creditors generally; or (ii)
the filing of a voluntary or involuntary petition by or against Tenant under any
present or future applicable federal, state or other statute or law having for
its purpose the adjudication of Tenant as a bankrupt; (iii) the appointment of a
receiver, liquidator or trustee for all or a substantial portion of the Premises
by reason of the insolvency or alleged insolvency of Tenant; or (iv) the taking
of possession by any department of city, county, state or federal government, or
any officer thereof duly authorized, of all or a substantial portion of the
Premises by reason of the insolvency or alleged insolvency of Tenant; and
Tenant's failure to timely give any Notice it is permitted to give pursuant to

OF GUARANTEED RESIDUAL VALUE. Failure of Tenant to complete the Purchase Option
after election (or deemed election) to do so, or failure of Tenant to perform
all of its obligations pursuant to the Termination Option if Tenant has elected
to exercise the Termination Option (and has not rescinded its election to
exercise such option) set forth in Section 17.2, including, without limitation,
the obligations to make the payments required pursuant to Sections 17.2(b), (d)
and (e).
(h) FINANCIAL COVENANTS. Tenant's failure at any time
during the Term of the Lease, subject to quarterly compliance (as measured on
the last day of each fiscal quarter of Tenant) to comply with the following
Financial Covenants:
(i) Profitability.
(1) Tenant shall not in any fiscal quarter have
an operating and/or net loss on a consolidated basis greater than five percent
(5%) of Tenant's Consolidated Tangible Net Worth as of the end of such fiscal

in excess of $40,000,000 but less than $60,000,000.
16.2 CONTEST BY TENANT. If upon the filing of any involuntary
petition of the type described in Section 16.1(d) or upon the appointment of a
receiver, other than a receiver
21
<PAGE> 31
appointed in any voluntary proceeding referred to in Section 16.1(d), or the
taking of possession of all or a substantial portion of the Premises by any
department of the city, county, state or federal government, or any officer
thereof duly authorized, by reason of the alleged insolvency of Tenant without
the consent or over the objection of Tenant, should Tenant desire to contest the
same in good faith, Tenant shall, within ninety (90) days after the filing of
the petition or after the appointment or taking of possession, give Notice to
Landlord that Tenant proposes to make the contest, and the same shall not
constitute an Event of Default so long as Tenant shall prosecute the proceedings
with due diligence and no part of the Premises shall be exposed to sale by
reason of the continuance of the contest.
16.3 LANDLORD'S REMEDIES. Landlord shall have the remedies
specified below:
(a) CONTINUE LEASE. In connection with an Event of
Default, Landlord shall have the right to enforce, by suit or otherwise, all
other covenants and conditions hereof to be performed or complied with by Tenant
and to exercise all other remedies permitted by Section 1951.2 or 1951.4 of the
California Civil Code whichever is applicable, or any amendments thereof.
Landlord has the remedy described in California Civil Code Section 1951.2 or
1951.4 (Landlord may continue the Lease in effect after Tenant's breach and
abandonment and recover Base Rent as it becomes due, if Tenant has right to
sublet or assign, subject only to reasonable limitation or Landlord may
terminate the Lease and collect damages). Upon application by Landlord, a
receiver may be appointed to take possession of the Premises and exercise all
rights granted to Landlord as set forth in this Section 16.3.
(b) TERMINATE LEASE. In connection with an Event of
Default, Landlord may terminate this Lease, by giving Tenant Notice thereof, at
any time after the occurrence of such Event of Default and whether or not
Landlord has also exercised any right under Section 16.2. In such event Tenant
shall be obligated to purchase the Premises for an amount equal to the Purchase
Price described in the Purchase Option contained in Section 17.1 below (that is,
all accrued Base Rent, Additional Rent and the Lease Investment Balance).
Landlord shall also have its other remedies at law (including its rights under
the SBLF Deed of Trust), provided, however, that Tenant's obligation to purchase
the Premises pursuant to Section 17.2 shall survive any termination of this
Lease up through the date of foreclosure sale under the SBLF Deed of Trust.
(c) LANDLORD'S CONTINUING OBLIGATION TO SELL. Except in
the case of a foreclosure under the SBLF Deed of Trust, in the event Landlord
obtains possession of the Premises pursuant to the terms of this Lease (because
of Tenant's default, Lease expiration, or otherwise), Landlord shall be under a
continuing obligation to use its commercially reasonable efforts to sell the
Premises to one or more unrelated third parties; provided, however, that
Landlord shall not be required to sell or attempt to sell any portion of the
Premises (i) in a manner, or under circumstances, that could materially impair
Landlord's ability to enforce any of its rights or remedies under this Lease (as
determined in Landlord's sole discretion exercised in good faith) or (ii) at a
time when market conditions render it
22
<PAGE> 32
inadvisable to sell or attempt to sell the Premises (as determined in Landlord's
sole discretion exercised in good faith). Upon the occurrence of any such sale
Landlord shall be obligated to pay to Tenant any excess of the amount realized
by Landlord in connection with such sale over the Purchase Price (defined
below). For purposes of the preceding sentence, the amount realized by Landlord
upon a sale of the Premises shall be net of Landlord's reasonable sale expenses
and other expenses reasonably incurred by Landlord to consummate such sale.
Landlord's obligation to pay such excess to Tenant shall survive any termination
of this Lease. Tenant agrees that the Landlord will be deemed to be acting in
good faith if it refuses to sell its interest for less than the excess of the
Lease Investment Balance over the Guaranteed Residual Value.
In the event there is a foreclosure sale under the SBLF Deed of Trust,
then the party acquiring the property sold at such foreclosure sale (the
"Purchaser") shall have the option to purchase the fee simple interest in all,
but not less than all, of the then-existing Premises owned by Landlord on the
following terms: (i) such option to purchase must be exercised by written notice
delivered to Landlord no later than thirty (30) days following the date of
completion of the foreclosure sale, as evidenced by the recordation of a deed
conveying such property so sold at foreclosure by the trustee under the SBLF
Deed of Trust; (ii) the purchase price for the fee simple interest in the
then-existing Premises shall be the Purchase Price set forth in Section 17.1(a)
of the Lease (as adjusted to take into account all reductions in the Lease
Investment Balance resulting from payments received by Landlord, including
proceeds received by Landlord as a result of the foreclosure sale); and (iii)
the purchase and sale of the then-existing Premises shall be consummated in the
manner described in Section 17.1(c) of the Lease. In the event such Purchaser
fails to timely exercise the foregoing purchase option, the purchase option
shall expire and Landlord shall thereafter have no further obligation to sell
the then-existing Premises.
16.4 NO WAIVER. No failure by Landlord or Tenant to insist upon the
strict performance of any term, covenant or condition of this Lease or to
exercise any right or remedy consequent upon a breach thereof and no acceptance
of full or partial Base Rent or Additional Rent during the continuance of any
breach shall constitute a waiver of any such breach or of the term, covenant, or
condition. No term, covenant or condition of this Lease to be performed or
complied with by Tenant or Landlord, and no breach thereof, shall be waived,
terminated, altered or modified except by a written instrument executed by
Landlord and Tenant. No waiver of any breach shall affect or alter this Lease,
but each and every term, covenant, and condition of this Lease shall continue in
full force and effect with respect to any other then existing subsequent breach
thereof.
16.5 EFFECT OF ASSIGNMENT. Notwithstanding an Entity's prior
assignment or transfer of its interest as Tenant under this Lease, so long as
Landlord has been given Notice of such assignment pursuant to Sections 12.1 and
18.3, Landlord shall give such Entity copies of all Notices required by this
Article 16 in connection with any Event of Default, and such Entity shall have
the period granted hereunder to Tenant to cure such Event of Default, unless
such Entity shall have been released from all obligations arising under this
Lease. Landlord
23
<PAGE> 33
may not assert any rights against such Entity in the absence of such Notice and
opportunity to cure, so long as Landlord has been given Notice of such
assignment pursuant to Sections 12.1 and 18.3.
16.6 LANDLORD CURE RIGHT. If Tenant fails to perform any covenant
or agreement to be performed by Tenant under this Lease, and if the failure or
default continues for thirty (30) days after Notice to Tenant (except for
emergencies and except for payment of any lien or encumbrance threatening the
imminent sale of the Premises or any portion thereof, in which case payment or
cure may be made as soon as necessary to minimize the damage to person or
property caused by such emergency or to prevent any such sale), Landlord may,
but shall have no obligation to, pay the same and cure such default on behalf of
and at the expense of Tenant and do all reasonably necessary work and make all
reasonably necessary payments in connection therewith including, but not limited
to, the payment of reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements incurred by
Landlord. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall have no right to cure
any such failure to perform by Tenant so long as Tenant: (1) is diligently and
in good faith attempting to cure such matter and prosecuting such cure to
completion; (2) has the financial ability to so comply; and (3) commenced cure
of such matter within thirty (30) days after Tenant's receipt of Notice thereof
from Landlord. Failure by Tenant to comply with the above shall allow Landlord
to commence in a reasonable and customary manner and in good faith to attempt to
cure such matter. Upon demand, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the
reasonable amount so paid, together with interest at the Default Rate from the
date incurred until the date repaid.
ARTICLE 17
TENANT'S OPTION TO PURCHASE OR TERMINATE
17.1 OPTION TO PURCHASE PREMISES.
(a) PURCHASE OPTION. On any Rent Payment Date during the
Term Tenant shall have the option ("Purchase Option") to purchase all of the
then-existing Premises. The purchase price ("Purchase Price") for the Premises
shall be the sum of accrued and unpaid Base Rent, any accrued and unpaid
Additional Rent, plus the Lease Investment Balance.
(b) PURCHASE OPTION EXERCISE NOTICE. If Tenant desires
to exercise the Purchase Option, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord thirty (30)
days prior written notice ("Purchase Option Exercise Notice") of Tenant's
election. If Tenant does not exercise the Termination Option as provided in
Section 17.2 below it shall be deemed to have exercised the Purchase Option.
(c) TRANSFER. If Tenant exercises the Purchase Option,
the purchase and sale of the Premises shall be consummated as follows:
(i) Landlord shall grant and convey the Premises to
Tenant, its authorized agent or assignee, pursuant to a duly executed and
acknowledged assignment and
24
<PAGE> 34
assumption of leasehold interest (as to the Land) and a grant deed as to the
Premises (collectively herein the "Deed"), free and clear of all title defects,
liens, encumbrances, deeds of trust, mortgages, rights-of-way and restrictive
covenants or conditions, of record, placed against the Premises by Landlord
except for the Permitted Title Exceptions (excluding the SBLF Deed of Trust),
and any UCC-1 filed or recorded which evidence security interests encumbering
the Premises or any part thereof in favor of SBLF, which security interests SBLF
shall cause to be released so that they no longer affect the Premises).
(ii) The Purchase Price shall be paid upon delivery of the
Deed and any other documents reasonably requested by Tenant to evidence the
transfer of the Premises subject to the Permitted Title Exceptions (excluding
the SBLF Deed of Trust, and any UCC-1 filed or recorded which evidence security
interests encumbering the Premises or any part thereof in favor of SBLF, which
security interests SBLF shall cause to be released so that they no longer affect
the Premises) ("Additional Documents"). In the event that Tenant elects to
assign the Purchase Option pursuant to Section 17.1(d) below, and Tenant's
assignee pays an amount less than the Purchase Price for the Premises, Tenant
shall pay to Landlord any excess of the Purchase Price over the amount paid by
such assignee. Landlord shall deliver the Deed and the Additional Documents to
Tenant on the date for closing specified by Tenant in the Purchase Option
Exercise Notice. The closing shall take place at the location and in the manner
reasonably set forth by Tenant in the Purchase Option Exercise Notice; provided
that the date of closing shall occur no later than the last day of the Term of
the Lease.
(iii) If Landlord shall fail to cause title to be in the
condition required in Section 17.1(c)(i) above within the time herein prescribed
for the delivery of the Deed, then Tenant shall have the right (in addition to
all other rights provided by law) by a written notice to Landlord: (1) to extend
the time in which Landlord shall clear title and deliver the Deed and Additional
Documents, during which extension this Lease shall remain in full force and
effect, except Tenant shall be released from its obligation to pay Base Rent
during the extension; (2) to accept delivery of the Deed and Additional
Documents subject to such title defects, liens, encumbrances, deeds of trust,
mortgages, rights-of-way and restrictive covenants or conditions specified and
set forth in the Deed and not cleared by Landlord; (3) to rescind, by notice to
Landlord and without any penalty or liability therefor, any and all obligations
Tenant may have under and by virtue of the Purchase Option or the exercise
thereof, whereupon this Lease shall remain in full force and effect; (4) if the
title exception is curable by the payment of money, Tenant may make such payment
and such payment shall be a credit against the Purchase Price in favor of
Tenant.
(iv) Base Rent shall be prorated and paid and all Additional
Rent which is then due and payable shall be paid as of the date title to the
Premises is vested of record in Tenant. Tenant shall pay the escrow fees; the
recorder's fee for recording the Deed; the premium for the title insurance
policy; all documentary transfer taxes; Tenant's attorneys' fees; Landlord's
reasonable attorneys' fees; all other costs and expenses incurred by Tenant in
consummating the transfer of the Premises; and all reasonable expenses (except
as specified
25
<PAGE> 35
in the next sentence) incurred by Landlord in consummating the transfer of the
Premises pursuant to this Section 17.1. Landlord shall pay the costs and
expenses of clearing title as required by Section 17.1(c)(i).
(d) ASSIGNMENT. Tenant shall have the right, without
Landlord's consent, to assign this Purchase Option, in whole, to any Entity at
any time, whether or not Tenant also assigns its interest in the Lease.
17.2 TERMINATION OPTION.
(a) NOTICE. Provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, unless Tenant has notified Landlord prior to such date that it
elects the Purchase Option, Tenant may, on the date which is four (4) months
prior to the expiration of the Term, exercise an option ("Termination Option")
to sell the Premises; provided, however that at any time Tenant can rescind its
election to exercise its Termination Option if it then exercises its Purchase
Option pursuant to Section 17.1 above. The four (4) month period is referred to
herein as the "Sales Period".
(b) TERMINATION OPTION. After giving the notice set forth in
section (a) above Tenant shall then use its best efforts to sell the Premises
for cash to a third party purchaser (who is not an affiliate of Tenant within
the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act of 1933) and, if the Premises
are not conveyed to such purchaser prior to the expiration of the Term, Tenant
shall have no further right to sell the Premises and Landlord may, at its option
either allow the Tenant to holdover pursuant to Section 4.2 above, or terminate
the Lease in which case Tenant shall immediately vacate the Premises, and
quitclaim all interest of Tenant, if any, therein to Landlord, and pay to
Landlord the Guaranteed Residual Value as provided in Section 17.2(d) below.
(c) TERMINATION OPTION PROCEDURES. In the event that Tenant elects
the Termination Option, Tenant shall use its best efforts throughout the Sales
Period to obtain a purchaser (who is not an affiliate of Tenant as described
above) for the Premises. Tenant shall have the exclusive right to market the
Premises during the first three (3) months of the Sales Period (the "Exclusive
Period"). Landlord may direct Tenant to hire and pay for no more than one (1)
commission sales agent after the expiration of the Exclusive Period. Except as
otherwise provided below, any sale by Tenant shall be for the highest cash bid
submitted to Tenant, including any cash bid submitted by Landlord. The
determination of the highest bid shall be made by Landlord prior to the end of
the Sales Period. After the end of the Exclusive Period, Landlord may accept any
bid solicited by Landlord, Tenant or its agent, in which case Tenant's sales
effort may be suspended until the earlier of the closing of such sale on the
last day of the Term or revocation or rejection of such cash bid.
Notwithstanding the above provisions, Tenant may (i) accept during the Exclusive
Period any cash bid (net of expenses of sale) which exceeds the Lease Investment
Balance, and (ii) rescind the Termination Option at any time so long as it is
exercising its Purchase Option, which shall be prior and superior to an accepted
offer from a third party. If Landlord undertakes any sales efforts, Tenant shall
26
<PAGE> 36
promptly reimburse Landlord for any reasonable charges, costs and expenses
incurred in such effort, including any commissions, allocated time charges,
costs and expenses of internal counsel, external counsel or other attorneys'
fees.
(d) PAYMENTS UNDER TERMINATION OPTION. If Tenant elects the
Termination Option, Tenant shall pay to Landlord on the last day of the Term in
immediately available funds any Base Rent or Additional Rent due and owing under
the Lease. Except as provided in Section 17.2(e), the proceeds (the "Proceeds")
of any sale of the Premises pursuant to the Termination Option shall be paid to
Landlord upon any such sale without deductions, and not later than the
expiration of the Lease Term. If the Premises are not sold and conveyed to a
purchaser in exchange for Proceeds on or before the expiration of the Lease
Term, then on the expiration of the Lease Term, Tenant shall pay to Landlord in
immediately available funds an amount equal to the then Guaranteed Residual
Value.
(e) PROCEDURES UPON SALE UNDER THE TERMINATION OPTION. Any sale
pursuant to the Termination Option shall be consummated on the last day of the
Term. To the extent the Proceeds exceed the Lease Investment Balance, such
excess shall be paid out of escrow to Tenant. Upon payment to Landlord of all
amounts due it under this Lease, Landlord shall execute and deliver to the
purchaser of the Premises a grant deed in the same manner and subject to the
same conditions and obligations as are set forth in Section 17.1(c) above and
have the same obligation to deliver title and remove exceptions as set forth in
said Section. Except as provided in the second sentence of this subparagraph,
the Proceeds shall be applied first to the Lease Investment Balance, Tenant
shall reimburse Landlord for the difference between the Lease Investment Balance
(calculated immediately prior to receipt of the Proceeds) and the Proceeds, up
to the amount of the Guaranteed Residual Value, and Landlord shall have no claim
whatsoever to the Proceeds in excess of such amount upon receipt of such
Proceeds.
ARTICLE 18
MISCELLANEOUS
18.1 RELATIONSHIP. Neither this Lease nor any agreements or
transactions contemplated hereby shall in any respect be interpreted, deemed or
construed as constituting Landlord and Tenant as partners or joint venturers,
one with the other, or as creating any partnership, joint venture, association
or, except as set forth in Section 18.2 below, any other relationship other than
that of landlord and tenant: and, except as set forth in Section 18.2 below,
both Landlord and Tenant agree not to make any contrary assertion, contention,
claim or counterclaim in any action, suit or other legal proceeding involving

18.2 FORM OF TRANSACTION: Certain Tax Matters.
(a) Landlord and Tenant hereby agree and declare that the
transactions contemplated by this Lease are intended to constitute, both as to
matters of form and substance:
(i) an operating lease for financial accounting
purposes, and
(ii) a financing arrangement (and not a "true lease")
for purposes of Federal, state and local income, property or other forms of tax.
Accordingly, and notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease to the
contrary, Landlord and Tenant agree and declare that (A) the transactions
contemplated hereby are intended to have a dual, rather than single, form and
(B) all references in this Lease to the "Lease" of the Premises which fail to
reference such dual form do so as a matter of convenience only and do not
reflect the intent of Landlord and Tenant as to the true form of such
arrangements.
(b) Landlord and Tenant agree that, in accordance with their
intentions and the substance of the transactions contemplated hereby, Tenant
(and not Landlord) shall be treated as the owner of the Premises for Federal,
state, local income and property tax purposes and this Lease shall be treated as
a financing arrangement. Tenant shall be entitled to take any deduction, credit
allowance or other reporting, filing or other tax position consistent with such
characterizations. Landlord shall not file any Federal, state or local income
tax returns, reports or other statements in a manner which is inconsistent with
the foregoing provisions of this Section 18.2.
(c) Tenant acknowledges that it has retained accounting, tax
and legal advisors to assist it in structuring this Lease
and Tenant is not relying on any representations of Landlord regarding the
proper treatment of this transaction for accounting, income tax or any other
purpose.
18.3 NOTICES. Each Notice shall be in writing and shall be sent by
personal delivery, overnight courier (charges prepaid or billed to the sender)
or by the deposit of such with the United States Postal Service, or any official
successor thereto, designated as registered or certified mail, return receipt
requested, bearing adequate postage and in each case addressed as provided in
the Basic Lease Provisions. Each Notice shall be effective upon being personally
delivered or actually received. The time period in which a response to any such
Notice must be given or any action taken with respect thereto shall commence to
run from the date of personal delivery or receipt of the Notice by the addressee
thereof, as reflected on the return receipt of the Notice. Rejection or other
refusal to accept shall be deemed to be receipt of the Notice sent. By giving to
the other party at least thirty (30) days' prior Notice thereof, either party to
this Lease shall have the right from time to time during the Term of this Lease
to change the address(es) thereof and to specify as the address(es) thereof any
other address(es) within the continental United States of America.

that neither has dealt with any broker in connection with this transaction and
that no real estate broker, salesperson or finder has the right to claim a real
estate brokerage, salesperson's commission or finder's fee by reason of contact

party shall hold and save the other harmless of and from any and all loss, cost,
damage, injury or expense arising out of or in any way related to claims for
real estate broker's or salesperson's commissions or fees based upon allegations
made by the claimant that it is entitled to such a fee from the indemnified

Exhibit E
LIST OF LITIGATION
1. Theis Research, Inc.
Tenant (the "Company") and Northern Telecom were engaged in a
jury trial versus Theis Research, Inc. (Theis) in the Northern District
of California during the first quarter of fiscal 1995. The trial
centered on Theis' allegation that Octel and Northern Telecom were
infringing three patents held by Theis. In October 1994, the jury
returned a verdict of finding, among other things, that Octel and
Northern Telecom were correct in their claim that the three patents at
issue were invalid. Post-trial motions are pending, and, if no
settlement between the parties is reached, it is anticipated that Theis
will appeal the verdict.
2. Gilbarco Inc.
In January 1994, Gilbarco Inc. (Gilbarco) filed suit in the
U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado against the Company
and one of its telephone company customers, U.S. West, alleging
infringement of a United States patent and seeking unspecified damages.
The Company filed an answer to the complaint denying any infringement
and asserting several affirmative defenses, including an assertion that
the patent is invalid and unenforceable.
In September 1994, the claims asserted against the company
were transferred to the U.S. District Court for the Northern District
of California and those claims asserted against U.S. West were stayed
and administratively closed pending the outcome of the California
action. Fact discovery in the case is substantially complete and a
trial date has been set for October 16, 1995.
The Company is currently planning to file one or more motions
before the trial which could dispose of some or all of the claims
asserted against it.
The Company believes, based on information currently
available, that the Company is not infringing any valid patents of
Gilbarco. The Company will vigorously defend the patent infringement
claims and any related claims for compensatory damages. While
litigation is inherently uncertain, the Company believes that the
ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse
effect on the Company's financial position.

COVENANTS OF TRUSTOR
Insurance.
(a) Casualty Insurance. Trustor will keep the Premises insured
at all times at no cost to Beneficiary for the
-6-
<PAGE> 11
benefit of Trustee and Beneficiary to the extent and in the manner described in
the Lease and for the coverages described in the Lease, naming Trustee and
Beneficiary as loss payees or additional insureds, as appropriate.
Damage and Destruction.
(a) Trustor's Obligations. In the event of any material damage
to or loss or material destruction of the Land or Improvements, Trustor shall
promptly notify Beneficiary of such event.
(b) Beneficiary's Rights; Application of Proceeds. In the event
that any portion of the Land or Improvements is so damaged, destroyed or lost,
and any such damage, destruction or loss is covered, in whole or in part, by
insurance described in Section 1.01, then the following provisions shall apply:
(1) If an Event of Default has occurred hereunder and
is continuing, (i) Beneficiary may, but shall not be obligated to, make proof of
loss if not made promptly by Trustor, and Beneficiary is hereby authorized and
empowered by Trustor to settle, adjust or compromise any claims for damage,
destruction or loss thereunder unless the proposed amount of proceeds from such
claims exceeds the then outstanding amount of the Obligations, and (ii) each
insurance company concerned is hereby authorized and directed to make payment
therefor directly to Beneficiary, to be applied, at Beneficiary's option, to the
Obligations then secured hereby, in such order as Beneficiary may determine in
its sole discretion. Unless otherwise required by law, such application to the
Obligations by Beneficiary of such payments shall not, by itself, cure or waive
any Event of Default hereunder or notice of default under this Deed of Trust or
any other Transaction Document or invalidate any act done pursuant to such
notice.
(2) If no Event of Default hereunder has occurred and
is continuing, and if such proceeds are reasonably expected to be $100,000 or
less, Trustor shall be entitled to receive all such proceeds provided that
Trustor applies such proceeds to the restoration, replacement, and rebuilding of
that portion of the
-7-
<PAGE> 12
Land or Improvements so damaged, destroyed or lost in accordance with the
provisions of the Lease.
(3) If such proceeds are reasonably expected to exceed $100,000
and if an Event of Default has not occurred hereunder or has occurred but is not
continuing, then if Trustor elects not to restore the damage, the insurance
proceeds shall be paid to the Beneficiary and applied to the reduction of the
Obligations.
(c) Effect on the Indebtedness. Any reduction in the Obligations
resulting from the application to the Obligations of insurance proceeds shall be
deemed to take effect only on the date of receipt by Beneficiary of such
proceeds and the application of such proceeds to the Obligations; provided that
if prior to the receipt by Beneficiary of such proceeds, the Mortgaged Property
shall have been sold on foreclosure of this Deed of Trust, or shall have been
transferred by deed in lieu of foreclosure of this Deed of Trust,
notwithstanding any limitation on Trustor's liability contained herein or the
other Transaction Documents, Beneficiary shall have the right to receive the
same to the extent of any deficiency following such sale or conveyance, together
with attorneys' fees and disbursements incurred by Trustee and Beneficiary in
connection with the collection thereof. After payment in full of all
Obligations, any excess insurance proceeds shall be delivered to Trustor for
disposition in the manner set forth in the Lease.
Condemnation.
(a) Trustor's Obligations; Proceedings. Trustor, promptly upon
obtaining knowledge of any pending or threatened institution of any proceedings
for the condemnation of the Land or Improvements, or any part thereof or
interest therein, or of any right of eminent domain, or of any other proceedings
arising out of injury or damage to or decrease in the value of the Land or
Improvements (including a change in grade of any street), or any part thereof or
interest therein (collectively referred to herein as "Condemnation"), will
notify Beneficiary of the threat or pendency thereof and the following
provisions shall apply:
-8-
<PAGE> 13
(b) Beneficiary's Rights to Proceeds. If the amount of all
compensation, awards, proceeds and other payments or relief in connection with
such condemnation, including without limitation proceeds of sale in lieu of
Condemnation, made or granted to Trustor (collectively the "Proceeds") is
reasonably expected to be in excess of $100,000, all Proceeds and all judgments,
decrees and awards for injury or damage to the Land and Improvements are hereby
assigned to Beneficiary and shall be paid to Beneficiary to be held and
disbursed as hereinafter set forth. Trustor agrees to execute and deliver such
further assignments thereof as Beneficiary may request to effectuate the
foregoing and authorizes Beneficiary to collect and receive the same for
disbursement as hereinafter set forth.
(c) Application of Proceeds - Total Taking. In the event of a
Condemnation of all or substantially all of the Land and Improvements or,
without regard to the portion of the Land and Improvements subject to
Condemnation, if an Event of Default shall have occurred hereunder and be
continuing:
(1) Beneficiary shall be entitled to all Proceeds of such
Condemnation made or granted to Trustor (but not to any compensation, award or
other payment or relief made or granted for the benefit of tenants of the
Improvements) and, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing
shall be entitled, at Beneficiary's option, to commence, appear in and prosecute
in its own name any action or proceedings. All such Proceeds shall be deemed
assigned to Beneficiary to the extent of any sums then secured by this Deed of
Trust, and Trustor agrees to execute such further assignments of the Proceeds as
Beneficiary or Trustee may require.
(2) Beneficiary shall apply all such Proceeds, after deducting
therefrom all costs and expenses (regardless of the particular nature thereof
and whether incurred with or without suit), including reasonable attorneys'
fees, incurred by it in connection with the collection of such Proceeds, to the
Obligations secured by this Deed of Trust, in such order as Beneficiary may
determine in its sole discretion. Unless otherwise required by applicable law,
such application or release shall not, by itself, cure or waive any Event of
Default hereunder or notice of default under this Deed of Trust or any
-9-
<PAGE> 14
other Transaction Document or invalidate any act done pursuant to such notice.
After payment in full of all Obligations, any excess Proceeds shall be delivered
to Trustor for disposition in the manner set forth in the Lease.
(d) Application of Proceeds - Partial Taking. If an Event of Default
shall not have occurred hereunder and be continuing and in the event of a
Condemnation of less than all or substantially all of the Land and/or
Improvements, the following provisions shall apply:
(1) In the event that such Proceeds are in an amount less than
$100,000, Trustor shall be entitled to receive all such Proceeds provided that
Trustor applies such Proceeds to the payment of the costs and expenses of
repairing and restoring the Land and Improvements.
(2) In the event that such Proceeds are in the amount of
$100,000 or more, the Proceeds shall be paid to and shall be disbursed by
Beneficiary in the same manner, for the same purposes and subject to the same
requirements as are applicable to insurance proceeds pursuant to the provisions
hereof.
(e) Right to Participate. If an Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing hereunder Beneficiary shall have the right to settle, adjust
or compromise any claim in connection with a Condemnation of the Land and/or
Improvements in its sole discretion. If an Event of Default shall not have
occurred hereunder or has occurred but is not continuing then: (A) Trustor may
settle, adjust or compromise any claim which is reasonably expected to be in an
amount less than $100,000; and (B) with respect to any claim which is reasonably
expected to be in the amount of $100,000 or more, Beneficiary and Trustor shall
each consult and cooperate with the other and each shall be entitled to
participate in all meetings and negotiations with respect to the settlement of
such claim. Trustor at its expense shall deliver to Beneficiary copies of all
papers served in connection with such Condemnation. Any adjustment or settlement
by Trustor of any claim which is in an amount in excess of $100,000 shall be
subject to the reasonable approval of Beneficiary.
-10-
<PAGE> 15
(f) Effect on the Obligations. Notwithstanding any condemnation, taking
or other proceeding referred to in this Section causing injury to or decrease in
value of the Premises (including a change in grade of any street), or any
interest therein, Trustor shall continue to pay and perform the Obligations as
provided herein. Any reduction in the Obligations resulting from the application
to the Obligations of any proceeds, judgments, decrees or awards pursuant to
Section 1.03(b), (c) or (d) shall be deemed to take effect only on the date of
receipt by Beneficiary of such proceeds, judgments, decrees or awards and their
application against the Obligations; provided that if prior to the receipt by
Beneficiary of such proceeds, judgments, decrees or awards the Mortgaged
Property shall have been sold on foreclosure of this Deed of Trust, or shall
have been transferred by deed in lieu of foreclosure of this Deed of Trust,
Beneficiary shall have the right to receive the same to the extent of any
deficiency following such sale, with legal interest thereon together with
attorneys' fees and disbursements incurred by Trustee and Beneficiary in
connection with the collection thereof.
I.
ADDITIONAL ADVANCES; EXPENSES; INDEMNITY
Additional Advances and Disbursements. Trustor agrees that if an Event
of Default occurs hereunder and is continuing then Trustee and/or Beneficiary
shall have the right, but not the obligation, in Trustor's name or in its or
their own name, and without notice to Trustor to exercise any and all rights and
remedies of the landlord under the Lease, and, for such purpose, Trustor
expressly grants to Trustee and Beneficiary, in addition and without prejudice
to any other rights and remedies hereunder, the right to enter upon and take
possession of the Premises in accordance with applicable law to such extent and
as often as either of them may deem necessary or desirable. Except as otherwise
provided by law, no such exercise shall be deemed to have cured such Event of
Default with respect thereto. All reasonable sums advanced and all reasonable
expenses incurred by
-11-
<PAGE> 16
Trustee and/or Beneficiary in connection with such exercise, and all other
reasonable sums advanced or expenses incurred by Beneficiary hereunder or under
applicable law (whether required or optional and whether indemnified hereunder
or not) shall be part of the Obligations, shall bear interest at the Default
Rate (as defined in Section 2.6 of the Lease) from the date of disbursement
until paid and shall be secured by this Deed of Trust. Trustee and/or
Beneficiary, upon making any such advance, shall be subrogated to all of the
rights of the person receiving such advance.
Other Expenses.
(a) Trustor will pay or, on demand, reimburse Trustee and Beneficiary
for the payment of, all recording and filing fees, abstract fees, title
insurance premiums and fees, Uniform Commercial Code search fees, escrow fees,
reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements and all other reasonable costs and
expenses incurred by Trustor, Trustee and/or Beneficiary in connection with the
granting, closing and enforcement (including the preparation of the Transaction
Documents) of the transactions contemplated hereunder or under the other
Transaction Documents, or otherwise attributable or chargeable to Trustor as
owner of the Mortgaged Property. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein in this Section 2.02(a), the provisions of this Section 2.02(a)
shall not be deemed or construed to authorize Beneficiary to undertake, exercise
or perform any action in the administration of the transactions contemplated
hereunder not otherwise (i) authorized by the terms of this Deed of Trust or the
Transaction Documents or (ii) permitted under applicable law to be undertaken,
exercised or performed by a trust deed beneficiary to protect the security
afforded by a deed of trust upon real property.
(b) Trustor will pay or, on demand, reimburse Trustee and Beneficiary
for the payment of any reasonable costs or expenses (including attorneys' fees
and disbursements) incurred or expended in connection with or incidental to (i)
any Event of Default by Trustor or (ii) the exercise or enforcement by or on
behalf of Trustee and/or Beneficiary of any of their rights or remedies or
Trustor's obligations under this Deed of Trust or under the other Transaction
Documents, including the enforcement,
-12-
<PAGE> 17
compromise or settlement of this Deed of Trust or the Obligations or the defense
or assertion of the rights and claims of Trustee and Beneficiary hereunder in
respect thereof, by litigation or otherwise.
Indemnity.
(a) Trustor agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Trustee and
Beneficiary from and against any and all losses, liabilities, suits,
obligations, fines, damages, judgments, penalties, claims, charges, costs and
expenses (including attorneys' fees and disbursements) which may be imposed on,
incurred or paid by or asserted against Trustee and/or Beneficiary by reason or
on account of, or in connection with, (i) any willful misconduct of Trustor or
any Event of Default by Trustor hereunder, (ii) Trustee's and/or Beneficiary's
good faith and commercially reasonable exercise of any of their rights and
remedies, or the performance of any of their duties, hereunder or under the
other Transaction Documents to which Trustor is a party, (iii) the construction,
reconstruction or alteration of the Premises by Trustor, (iv) any negligence of
Trustor, or any negligence or willful misconduct of any lessee of the Premises,
or any of their respective agents, contractors, subcontractors, servants,
employees, licensees or invitees, or (v) any accident, injury, death or damage
to any person or property occurring in, on or about the Premises or any street,
drive, sidewalk, curb or passageway adjacent thereto, in each case of (i)
through (v) above, except for the willful misconduct or gross negligence of the
indemnified person, or any of its agents, contractors, subcontractors, servants,
employees, licensees or invitees. Any amount payable to Trustee, Beneficiary or
counsel for Beneficiary under this Section 2.03 shall be due and payable within
five (5) days after demand therefor and receipt by Trustor of a statement from
Trustee, Beneficiary and/or counsel for Beneficiary setting forth in reasonable
detail the amount claimed and the basis therefor, and such amounts shall bear
interest at the Default Rate (as defined in Section 2.6 of the Lease) from and
after the date such amounts are paid by counsel for Beneficiary, Beneficiary or
Trustee until paid in full by Trustor.
(b) Trustor's obligations under this Section shall not be affected by
the absence or unavailability of insurance
-13-
<PAGE> 18
covering the same or by the failure or refusal by any insurance carrier to
perform any obligation on its part under any such policy of covering insurance.
If any claim, action or proceeding is made or brought against Trustee and/or
Beneficiary which is subject to the indemnity set forth in this Section, Trustor
shall resist or defend against the same, if necessary in the name of Trustee
and/or Beneficiary, by attorneys for Trustor's insurance carrier (if the same is
covered by insurance) or otherwise by attorneys approved by Beneficiary.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Trustee and Beneficiary, in their discretion, may
engage their own attorneys to resist or defend, or assist therein, and Trustor
shall pay, or, on demand, shall reimburse Trustee and Beneficiary for the
payment of, the reasonable fees and disbursements of said attorneys.
DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES
Events of Default. The term "Event of Default", as used in this Deed of
Trust, shall mean the occurrence of an "Event of Default" under the Lease.
Remedies. Upon the occurrence of any one or more Events of Default
subject to Article VII and Section 3.03 below, Trustee and/or Beneficiary may
(but shall not be obligated), in addition to any rights or remedies available to
them hereunder or under the other Transaction Documents, take such action
personally or by their agents or attorneys, with or without entry, and without
notice, demand, presentment or protest (each and all of which are hereby waived
to the extent permitted by law) as they deem necessary or advisable to protect
and enforce Beneficiary's rights and remedies against Trustor and in and to the
Mortgaged Property, including the following actions, each of which may, subject
to Section 3.03 hereof, be pursued concurrently or otherwise, at such time and
in such order as Trustee and/or Beneficiary may determine, in their sole
discretion, without impairing or otherwise affecting its or their other rights
or remedies:
(a) declare the entire balance of the Obligations (including the entire
principal balance thereof, all accrued and unpaid interest and any premium
thereon and all other such sums secured hereby) to be immediately due and
payable and upon any
-14-
<PAGE> 19
such declaration the entire unpaid balance of the Obligations shall become and
be immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or further
notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Trustor anything
in the Transaction Documents to the contrary notwithstanding; or
(b) institute a proceeding or proceedings, judicial or otherwise, for
the complete foreclosure of this Deed of Trust under any applicable provision of
law; or
(c) institute a proceeding or proceedings for the partial foreclosure
of this Deed of Trust under any applicable provision of law for the portion of
the Obligations then due and payable, subject to the lien of this Deed of Trust
continuing unimpaired and without loss of priority so as to secure the balance
of the Obligations not then due and payable; or
(d) cause any or all of the Mortgaged Property to be sold under the
power of sale granted by this Deed of Trust or any of the other Transaction
Documents in any manner permitted by applicable law. For any sale under the
power of sale granted by this Deed of Trust, Trustee or Beneficiary must record
and give all notices required by law and then, upon the expiration of such time
as is required by law, may sell the Mortgaged Property, and all estate, right,
title, interest, claim and demand of Trustor therein, and all rights of
redemption thereof, at one or more sales, as an entirety or in parcels, with
such elements of real and/or personal property (and, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, may elect to deem all of the Mortgaged Property to be real
property for purposes thereof), and at such time or place and upon such terms as
Trustee and Beneficiary may determine and shall execute and deliver to the
purchaser or purchasers thereof a deed or deeds conveying the property sold, but
without any covenant or warranty, express or implied, and the recitals in the
deed or deeds of any facts affecting the regularity or validity of the sale will
be conclusive against all persons. In the event of a sale, by foreclosure or
otherwise, of less than all of the Mortgaged Property, this Deed of Trust shall
continue as a lien and security interest on the remaining portion of the
Mortgaged Property; or
-15-
<PAGE> 20
(e) institute an action, suit or proceeding in equity for the specific
performance of any of the provisions contained in the Transaction Documents; or
(f) apply for the appointment of a receiver, custodian, trustee,
liquidator or conservator of the Mortgaged Property, to be vested with the
fullest powers permitted under applicable law, as a matter of right and without
regard to or the necessity to disprove the adequacy of the security for the
Obligations or the solvency of Trustor or any other person liable for the
payment of the Obligations, and Trustor and each other person so liable waives
or shall be deemed to have waived such necessity and consents or shall be deemed
to have consented to such appointment; or
(g) subject to the provisions and restrictions of any applicable law,
enter upon the Premises, and exclude Trustor and its agents and servants wholly
therefrom, without liability for trespass, damages or otherwise, and take
possession of all books, records and accounts relating thereto and all other
Mortgaged Property but not as to Trustor's business conducted thereon and
Trustor agrees to surrender possession of the Mortgaged Property and of such
books, records and accounts to Trustee or Beneficiary on demand after the
happening of any Event of Default; and having and holding the same may use,
operate, manage, preserve, control and otherwise deal therewith, either
personally or by its superintendents, managers, agents, servants, attorneys or
receivers, without interference from Trustor; and upon each such entry and from
time to time thereafter may, at the expense of Trustor and the Mortgaged
Property, without interference by Trustor and as Beneficiary may reasonably deem
advisable to protect the value thereof, (i) either by purchase, repair or
construction, maintain and restore the Premises, (ii) insure or reinsure the
same, (iii) make all necessary or proper repairs, renewals, replacements,
alterations, additions, betterments and improvements thereto and thereon, and
(iv) in every such case in connection with the foregoing have the right to
exercise all rights and powers of Trustor with respect to the Mortgaged
Property, either in Trustor's name or otherwise, including the right to make,
terminate, cancel, enforce or modify leases, obtain and evict tenants and
subtenants on such terms as
-16-
<PAGE> 21
Beneficiary shall deem advisable and to take any actions described in subsection
(i) of this Section; or
(h) subject to the provisions and restrictions of any applicable law,
may, with or without the entrance upon the Premises, collect, receive, sue for
and recover in its own name all Rents and cash collateral derived from the
Premises, and after deducting therefrom all reasonable costs, expenses and
liabilities of every character incurred by Trustee and/or Beneficiary in
collecting the same and in using, operating, managing, preserving and
controlling the Premises, and otherwise in exercising Trustee's and/or
Beneficiary's rights under subsection (g) of this Section, including all amounts
necessary to pay taxes, assessments, insurance premiums and other reasonable
charges in connection with the Premises, as well as reasonable compensation for
the services of Trustee and Beneficiary and their respective attorneys, agents
and employees, to apply the remainder as provided in Section 3.06; or
(i) release any portion of the Mortgaged Property for such
consideration as Beneficiary may require without, as to the remainder of the
Mortgaged Property, in any way impairing or affecting the lien or priority of
this Deed of Trust, or improving the position of any subordinate lienholder with
respect thereto, except to the extent that the Obligations shall have been
reduced by the actual monetary consideration, if any, received by Trustee and/or
Beneficiary for such release, and may accept by assignment, pledge or otherwise
any other property in place thereof as Trustee and/or Beneficiary may require
without being accountable for so doing to any other lienholder; or
(j) may take all actions permitted under the Uniform Commercial Code of
the State of California; or
(k) may take any other action, or pursue any other right or remedy, as
Trustee and/or Beneficiary may have under applicable law, and Trustor does

In the event that Trustee and/or Beneficiary shall exercise any of the
rights or remedies set forth in subsections (g) and (h) of this Section, neither
Trustee nor Beneficiary shall be
-17-
<PAGE> 22
deemed to have entered upon or taken possession of the Mortgaged Property except
upon the exercise of its option to do so, evidenced by its demand and overt act
for such purpose, nor shall it be deemed a beneficiary or mortgagee in
possession by reason of such entry or taking possession, unless applicable law
requires that it be deemed to be a beneficiary or mortgagee in possession.
Neither Trustee nor Beneficiary shall be liable to account for any action taken
pursuant to any such exercise other than for rents actually received by such
party, nor liable for any loss sustained by Trustor resulting from any failure
to let the Premises, or from any other act or omission of Trustee and/or
Beneficiary, except to the extent such loss is caused by the willful misconduct
or bad faith of such party or such liability may not be waived under applicable
law. Trustor hereby consents to, ratifies and confirms the exercise by Trustee
and/or Beneficiary of said rights and remedies.
Trustor's Personal Property and Trade Fixtures. Trustor shall be
entitled up to ten (10) days after the consummation of a foreclosure sale
hereunder to enter the Mortgaged Property during normal business hours for the
purpose of removing its personal property and trade fixtures therefrom at its
expense, provided that it repairs only damage to the Mortgaged Property caused
by such removal.
Expenses. If any action is commenced to foreclose this Deed of Trust,
or to enforce any other remedy of Trustee and/or Beneficiary under any of the
Transaction Documents, whether such action is judicial or pursuant to the power
of sale contained herein or otherwise, there shall be added to the Obligations
secured by this Deed of Trust all reasonable costs and expenses, including
reasonable attorney's fees, plus interest thereon at the Default Rate (as
defined in Section 2.6 of the Lease) until paid, in the commencement and
prosecution of such action, whether or not such action results in a foreclosure
sale, foreclosure or other judicial decree or judgment.
Rights Pertaining to Sales. Subject to the provisions or other
requirements of law, the following provisions shall apply to any sale or sales
of the Mortgaged Property under or by virtue of this Article III, whether made
under the power of sale
-18-
<PAGE> 23
herein granted or by virtue of judicial proceedings or of a judgment or decree
of foreclosure and sale:
(a) Trustee, at the request of Beneficiary, may conduct any number of
sales from time to time. The power of sale set forth in Section 3.02(d) hereof
shall not be exhausted by any one or more such sales as to any part of the
Mortgaged Property which shall not have been sold, nor by any sale which is not
completed or is defective in Trustee's or Beneficiary's opinion, until the
Obligations shall have been paid in full.
(b) Any sale may be postponed or adjourned by public announcement at
the time and place appointed for such sale or for such postponed or adjourned
sale without further notice.
(c) After each sale, Trustee, or an officer of any court empowered to
do so, shall execute and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers at such sale a
good and sufficient instrument or instruments granting, conveying, assigning and
transferring all right, title and interest of Trustor in and to the Mortgaged
Property and rights sold and shall receive the proceeds of said sale or sales
and apply the same as herein provided. Trustee is hereby appointed the true and
lawful attorney-in-fact of Trustor, which appointment is irrevocable and shall
be deemed to be coupled with an interest, in Trustor's name and stead, to make
all necessary conveyances, assignments, transfers and deliveries of the property
and rights so sold, and for that purpose Trustee may execute all necessary
instruments of conveyance, assignment, transfer and delivery, and may substitute
one or more persons with like power, Trustor hereby ratifying and confirming all
that said attorney or such substitute or substitutes shall lawfully do by virtue
thereof. Nevertheless, Trustor, if requested by Trustee or Beneficiary, shall
ratify and confirm any such sale or sales by executing and delivering to Trustee
or such purchaser or purchasers all such instruments as may be advisable, in
Trustee's or Beneficiary's judgment, for the purposes as may be designated in
such request.
(d) Any and all statements of fact or other recitals made in any of the
instruments referred to in subsection (c) of this Section given by Trustee
and/or Beneficiary as to nonpayment of the Obligations, or as to the occurrence
of any Event of
-19-
<PAGE> 24
Default, or as to Beneficiary having declared all or any of the Obligations to
be due and payable, or as to the request to sell, or as to notice of time, place
and terms of sale and of the property or rights to be sold having been duly
given, or as to the refusal, failure or inability to act of Trustee, or as to
the appointment of any substitute or successor Trustee, or as to any other act
or thing having been duly done by Trustor, Beneficiary, or by such Trustee,
shall be taken as conclusive and binding against all persons as to evidence of
the truth of the facts so stated and recited. Trustee and/or Beneficiary may
appoint or delegate any one or more persons as agent to perform any act or acts
necessary or incident to any sale so held, including the posting of notices and
the conduct of sale, but in the name and behalf of Trustee or Beneficiary, as
applicable.
(e) The receipt of Trustee for the purchase money paid at any such
sale, or the receipt of any other person authorized to receive the same, shall
be sufficient discharge therefor to any purchaser of any property or rights sold
as aforesaid, and no such purchaser, or its representatives, grantees or
assigns, after paying such purchase price and receiving such receipt, shall be
bound to see to the application of such purchase price of any part thereof upon
or for any trust or purpose of this Deed of Trust or, in any manner whatsoever,
be answerable for any loss, misapplication or non-application of any such
purchase money, or part thereof, or be bound to inquire as to the authorization,
necessity, expediency or regularity of any such sale.
(f) Any such sale or sales shall operate to divest all of the estate,
right, title, interest, claim and demand whatsoever, whether at law or in
equity, of Trustor in and to the properties and rights so sold, and shall be a
perpetual bar both at law and in equity against Trustor and any and all persons
claiming or who may claim the same, or any part thereof or any interest therein,
by, through or under Trustor to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.
(g) Upon any such sale or sales, Beneficiary may bid for and acquire
the Mortgaged Property and, in lieu of paying cash therefor, may make settlement
for the purchase price by crediting against the Obligations the amount of the
bid made
-20-
<PAGE> 25
therefor, after deducting therefrom the expenses of the sale, the cost of any
enforcement proceeding hereunder and any other sums which Trustee or Beneficiary
is authorized to deduct under the terms hereof, to the extent necessary to
satisfy such bid.
(h) In the event that Trustor, or any person claiming by, through or
under Trustor, shall transfer or refuse or fail to surrender possession of the
Mortgaged Property after any sale thereof, then Trustor, or such person shall be
deemed a tenant at sufferance of the purchaser at such sale, subject to eviction
by means of forcible entry and detainer proceedings, or subject to any other
right or remedy available hereunder or under applicable law.
(i) Upon any such sale, it shall not be necessary for Trustee,
Beneficiary or any public officer acting under execution or order of court to
have present or constructively in its possession any of the Mortgaged Property.
(j) In the event of any sale referred to in this Section, the entire
Obligations, if not previously due and payable, immediately thereupon shall,
notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in the other Transaction
Documents, become due and payable.
(k) In the event a foreclosure hereunder shall be commenced by Trustee
at the request of Beneficiary, Trustee or Beneficiary may at any time before the
sale of the Mortgaged Property abandon the sale, and may, subject to Article VII
hereof, institute suit for the collection of the Obligations and for the
foreclosure of this Deed of Trust, or in the event that Trustee or Beneficiary
should institute a suit for collection of the Obligations, and for the
foreclosure of this Deed of Trust, Beneficiary may at any time before the entry
of final judgment in said suit dismiss the same and sell or require Trustee to
sell the Mortgaged Property in accordance with the provisions of this Deed of
Trust.
Application of Proceeds. The purchase money, proceeds or avails of any
sale referred to in Section 3.05, together with any other sums which may be held
by Trustee or Beneficiary hereunder, whether under the provisions of this
Article III or
-21-

otherwise, shall, except as herein expressly provided to the contrary, be
applied as follows:
First: To the payment of the costs and expenses of any such sale,
including compensation to Trustee and/or Beneficiary, their agents and
counsel, and of any judicial proceeding wherein the same may be made, and of
all expenses, liabilities and advances made or incurred by Trustee and/or
Beneficiary hereunder, together with interest thereon as provided herein,
and all taxes, assessments and other charges, except any taxes, assessments
or other charges subject to which the Mortgaged Property shall have been
sold.
Second: To the payment in full of the Obligations (including interest
and fees) in such order as Beneficiary may elect.
Third: To the payment of any other sums secured hereunder or required
to be paid by Trustor pursuant to any provision of the Transaction

Fourth: To the payment of the surplus, if any, to whomsoever may be
lawfully entitled to receive the same.
Additional Provisions as to Remedies.
(a) No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to Trustee or
Beneficiary is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and each
and every such right or remedy shall be cumulative and continuing, shall be in
addition to every other right or remedy given hereunder, or under the other
Transaction Documents or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity, and may
be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient by
Trustee or Beneficiary.
(b) No delay or omission by Trustee or Beneficiary to exercise any
right or remedy hereunder upon any default or Event of Default shall impair such
exercise, or be construed to be a waiver of any such default or Event of Default
or an acquiescence therein.
-22-
<PAGE> 27
(c) The failure, refusal or waiver by Trustee or Beneficiary of its
right to assert any right or remedy hereunder upon any default or Event of
Default or other occurrence shall not be construed as waiving such right or
remedy upon any other or subsequent default or Event of Default or other
occurrence.
(d) Neither Trustee nor Beneficiary shall have any obligation to pursue
any rights or remedies they may have under any other agreement prior to pursuing
their rights or remedies hereunder or under the other Transaction Documents.
(e) No recovery of any judgment by Trustee or Beneficiary and no levy
of an execution upon the Mortgaged Property or any other property of Trustor
shall affect, in any manner or to any extent, the lien of this Deed of Trust
upon the Mortgaged Property, or any liens, rights, powers or remedies of Trustee
or Beneficiary hereunder, and such liens, rights, powers and remedies shall
continue unimpaired as before.
(f) Beneficiary may resort or cause Trustee to resort to any security
given by this Deed of Trust or any other security now given or hereafter
existing to secure the Obligations, in whole or in part, in such portions and in
such order as Beneficiary may deem advisable, and no such action shall be
construed as a waiver of any of the liens, rights or benefits granted hereunder.
(g) Acceptance of any payment after the occurrence of any default or
Event of Default shall not be deemed a waiver or a cure of such default or Event
of Default, and acceptance of any payment less than any amount then due shall be
deemed an acceptance on account only.
(h) In the event that Trustee or Beneficiary shall have proceeded to
enforce any right or remedy hereunder by foreclosure, sale, entry or otherwise,
and such proceeding shall be discontinued, abandoned or determined adversely for
any reason, then Trustor, Trustee and Beneficiary shall be restored to their
former positions and rights hereunder with respect to the Mortgaged Property,
subject to the lien hereof.

possession of the Mortgaged Property; to manage, control and protect the
Mortgaged Property; to collect the rents, issues, profits, revenues, earnings

do so, Trustor agrees with Beneficiary as follows:
(a) Trustor will not at any time, insist on, plead, claim or take the
benefit or advantage of any statute or rule of law now or hereafter in force
providing for any appraisement, valuation, stay, extension, moratorium or
redemption, or of any statute of limitations, and Trustor, for itself and its
heirs, devises, representatives, successors and assigns, and for any and all
persons ever claiming an interest in the Mortgaged Property (other than

Obligations without any prior or different resort for collection, or to the
payment of the Obligations out of the proceeds of sale of the Mortgaged Property
in preference to any other person.
(c) If any statute or rule of law referred to in this Section and now
in force, of which Trustor or any of its representatives, successors or assigns

take advantage despite this Section, shall hereafter be repealed or cease to be
in force, such statute or rule of law shall not thereafter be deemed to preclude

person at any time liable for the payment of the Obligations or any portion
thereof or any part of the security held for the Obligations and may extend the
time of payment or otherwise modify the terms of this Deed of Trust or of any of

or manner thereof, so directed may not lawfully be taken or waived.
SECTION 3.10. Rights of Beneficiary. Notwithstanding anything contained

ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS
Provisions as to Payments, Advances.
(a) To the extent that any part of the Obligations is used to pay
indebtedness secured by any outstanding lien, security interest, charge or
encumbrance against the Mortgaged Property that is superior to this Deed of
Trust, or to pay in whole or in part the purchase price therefor, Trustee and
Beneficiary shall be subrogated to any and all rights, security interests and
liens held by any owner or holder of the same, whether or not the same are

release all demands, defenses and causes of action for offsets and payments with
respect to the same.
(b) Any payment made under this Deed of Trust by any person at any time
liable for the payment of the Obligations, or by any subsequent owner of the

director thereof, shall be deemed, as between Trustee or Beneficiary and all
such persons, to have been made on behalf of all such persons.

lawful rate permitted under applicable usury laws, if any. If, from any
circumstance whatsoever, fulfillment of any provision of the Transaction
Documents, at the time performance of such provision shall be due, shall involve
transcending the limit of validity prescribed by law which a court of competent
jurisdiction may deem applicable hereto, then, ipso facto, the obligation to be
fulfilled shall be reduced to the limit of such validity and if, from any
circumstance whatsoever, Beneficiary shall ever receive as interest an amount
which would exceed the highest lawful rate, the receipt of such excess shall be
deemed a mistake and shall be cancelled automatically or, if theretofore paid,
such excess shall be credited against the Obligations to which the same may
lawfully be credited, and any portion of such excess not capable of being so
credited shall be rebated to Trustor.
Separability. If all or any portion of any provision of this Deed of
Trust or the other Transaction Documents shall be held to be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable in any respect, then such invalidity, illegality or
unenforceability shall not affect any other provision hereof or thereof, and
such provision shall be limited and construed in such jurisdiction as if such
invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision or portion thereof were not
contained herein or therein.

PROVISIONS AS TO TRUSTEE
Trustee's Appointment. Trustee accepts this Trust when this Deed of
Trust, duly executed and acknowledged, is made public record as provided by law.
Trustee may resign by an instrument in writing addressed to Beneficiary, or
Trustee may be removed at any time with or without cause by an instrument in
writing executed by Beneficiary and duly recorded. In case of the death,
resignation, removal or disqualification of Trustee or if for any reason
Beneficiary shall deem it desirable to appoint a substitute or successor trustee
to act instead of Trustee herein named or any substitute or successor Trustee,
then Beneficiary shall have the right and is hereby authorized and empowered to
appoint a successor Trustee, or a substitute Trustee, without other formality
than appointment and designation in writing executed and acknowledged by
Beneficiary and the recordation of such writing in the office where this Deed of
Trust is recorded, and the authority hereby conferred shall extend to the
appointment of other successor and substitute Trustees successively until the
Obligations are paid in full or until the Mortgaged Property are sold hereunder.
Such appointment and designation by Beneficiary shall be full evidence of the
right and authority to make the same and of all facts therein recited. If such
appointment is executed on behalf of Beneficiary by an officer of Beneficiary,
such appointment shall be conclusively presumed to be executed with authority
and shall be valid and sufficient without proof of any action by the Trustee or
any superior officer of Beneficiary. Upon the making of such appointment and
designation, all of the estate and title of Trustee in the Mortgaged Property
shall vest in the named successor or substitute Trustee and it shall thereupon
succeed to and shall hold, possess and execute all the rights, powers,
privileges, immunities and duties herein conferred upon Trustee; but,
