FINANCIAL STATMENTS.
                     PHOENIX TECHNOLOGIES LTD.

       NOTES  TO  CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED  FINANCIAL  STATEMENTS

1.    Basis of  Presentation

      Phoenix Technologies Ltd. (the "Company"), designs, develops and
markets system-level and application software products.

      The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of Phoenix
Technologies Ltd. and its wholly owned subsidiaries have been prepared by the
Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission.  Certain information and footnote
disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted
pursuant to such rules and regulations.  The information included in this
report should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited financial
statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended September 30, 1995.

      In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of
normal recurring adjustments) necessary to summarize fairly the Company's
financial position at December 31, and September 30, 1995, and the results of
operations and the cash flows for the three-month periods ended December 31,
1995 and 1994.  All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have
been eliminated.  The operating results for the three month period ended
December 31, 1995 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
expected for the year ended September 30, 1996 or for any other future period.

      Certain amounts in the fiscal 1995 financial statements have been
reclassified to conform to the fiscal 1996 presentation.  These
reclassifications had no effect on net income or earnings per share for 1995.

2.    Cash and Short-term Investments

      Cash and short-term investments consist of the following (in thousands):

</TABLE>

      Investments in certain highly liquid securities with maturities of less
than ninety days are considered cash equivalents. Investment securities consist
of U.S government and agency obligations, bankers' acceptances, and commercial
paper with original maturities generally ranging from three months to one year.
The Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity
Securities," on December

                                                                       Page 6

<PAGE>

31, 1994.  The adoption of Statement No. 115 had no
effect on the Company's financial position and results of operations.  The
Company classifies its investment securities as held-to-maturity because, as
provided in Statement No. 115, it has the ability and intent to hold them until
maturity.  Such securities are reported at amortized cost.

3.    Net Income Per Common Share

      Net income per common and common equivalent share is computed using
weighted average number of common and dilutive common equivalent shares
outstanding during each year.  Dilutive common equivalent shares resulting
from outstanding stock options  are calculated using the treasury stock
method.  Fully diluted earnings per share are not materially different from
reported primary earnings per share.

4.    Credit Risk

      Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to
concentrations of credit risk consist principally of temporary cash
investments and trade receivables.  The Company places its temporary cash
investments with high credit qualified financial institutions.  The Company
does not require collateral for trade receivables, but related credit risk is
limited due to the Company's large number of customers and their geographic
dispersion.  As of December 31, 1995 and September 30, 1995, no customer
accounted for 10% or more of accounts receivable.

5.    Income Taxes

      Income taxes are accounted for in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." Under
the asset and liability method of Statement No. 109, deferred tax assets and
liabilities are recognized for future tax consequences attributable to
differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing
assets and liabilities, and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets
and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to
taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected
to be recovered or settled.  Under Statement No. 109, the effect on deferred
tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income
in the period of enactment.

6.    Stock Options

      Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation" was issued in October 1995 and applies to fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 1995.  While the Company is studying the
impact of the pronouncement, it continues to account for employee stock
options under APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees."


                                                                       Page 7

Item 1.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
         Results of Operations.

REVENUE. Revenue increased by $3.1 million (28%) to $14.2 million in the
first fiscal quarter of 1996 compared to revenues of $11.1 million for the
comparable period in fiscal 1995.  The increase resulted primarily from an
increase in royalty revenue from the Company's expanding customer base as
well as repeat sales to existing customers.    As a percentage of revenue,
international sales increased to 60% in the first fiscal quarter of 1996 from
49% for the comparable period in fiscal 1995.  The increase in international
revenue was primarily due to increased revenue in Japan and Asia.

GROSS MARGIN. Gross margin as a percent of revenue decreased in the first
fiscal quarter of 1996 to 79% of net revenues, as compared to 81% of revenue
for the comparable period in fiscal 1995.  License fee gross margin decreased
in the first fiscal quarter of 1996 to 89% of net revenues, as compared to
92% of net revenue for the comparable period in fiscal 1995, primarily due to
increases in royalty expense and amortization of capitalized computer
software cost.

The increase of service revenue as a percent of total revenues during the
first quarter of fiscal 1996 also contributed to a lower total gross margin
percentage.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES. Research and development expenses
increased $0.6 million (21%)  to $3.1 million for the first fiscal quarter of
1996 from $2.5 million for the comparable period in fiscal 1995.  The
increase in research and development expenses is primarily due to an increase
in the Company's engineering staff to continue development of system-level
software.

The Company capitalized $0.5 million of internally developed software costs
in the first fiscal quarter of 1996 as compared to $0.3 million for the
comparable period in fiscal 1995. Such amounts were offset by amortization of
capitalized software costs of $0.5 million in the first fiscal quarter of
1996 and $0.2 million for the comparable period in fiscal 1995.   The Company
believes that continued investment in new and evolving technologies is
essential to meet rapidly changing industry requirements.

SALES AND MARKETING EXPENSES. Sales and marketing expenses decreased by $0.1
million (3%) to $3.3 million in the first fiscal quarter of 1996 compared to
$3.4 million for the comparable period in fiscal 1995.  The decrease resulted
primarily from the absence in fiscal 1996 of advertising expenses related to
products marketed through the retail channel.  The Company discontinued
retail distribution in fiscal 1995.   The decrease in advertising expenses
from the prior year was partially offset by additional commissions paid in
the first fiscal quarter of 1996  on an increased revenue base.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. General and administrative expenses
increased by $1.1 million (80%) to $2.5 million in the first fiscal quarter
of 1996 compared to $1.4 million for the comparable period in fiscal 1995.
The increase resulted primarily from an increase in facilities expenses
associated with the Company's new facilities in California as well as an
greater recruiting expenses associated with headcount growth.


                                                                       Page 8

<PAGE>

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES. The Company recorded an income tax provision of
$0.8 million in the first fiscal quarter of 1996 compared to $0.7 million for
the comparable period in fiscal 1995.  The fiscal 1996 provision reflects an
estimated annualized effective tax rate of 28%.   The effective tax rate for
fiscal 1995 was adjusted in the fourth quarter to 26% (before adjustment to
the deferred tax asset valuation allowance).  The higher tax rate in fiscal
1996 reflects the reduction of available deferred tax assets from the prior
year.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES. At December 31, 1995, the Company's
primary sources of liquidity included cash, cash equivalents and short-term
investments of $34.4 million and available borrowing of $10 million under a
revolving credit facility with a commercial bank.  No amounts under this
revolving credit facility were outstanding as of December 31, 1995.  That
facility expired in January 1996 and the Company and the bank are negotiating
a definitive agreement to extend the credit facility.  The Company believes
that its existing sources of liquidity will be sufficient to satisfy the
Company's cash requirements for at least the next twelve months

Net cash generated from operating activities in the first fiscal quarter of
1996 was $1.9 million, resulting primarily from cash provided by net income,
adjusted for depreciation, an increase in accrued income taxes and other
accrued liabilities.  This increase is partially offset by increases in
accounts receivable, other current assets, other assets and decreases in
accounts payable, accrued payroll.  Net cash used in investing activities in
the first fiscal quarter of 1996 was $8.7 million which consisted primarily
of purchases of short-term investments of $11.7 million and purchases of
property and equipment of $0.9 million for use in the Company's operations
which was partially offset by maturities of short term investments of $4.4
million. Cash generated from financing activities in the first fiscal quarter
of 1996 was from the net proceeds from the exercise of stock options and
issuance of stock under the Company's employee stock purchase plan.

The Company announced a major technology and license agreement with Intel
Corporation during the first fiscal quarter of 1996.  In addition, Intel will
invest approximately $10.9 million to acquire Phoenix Technologies' common
stock and a warrant to buy additional stock of the Company.  Under the terms
of the equity agreement, Intel will purchase 894,971 newly issued,
unregistered shares at a per share price of $11.71, representing 6% of
Phoenix's post transaction shares.  The warrrant will cover 1,073,965 shares
which vests with an escalating exercise price over four years.

       rights with respect to copies of Intel  Products that may be acquired
       in the ordinary course of trade from Intel or its customers or
       permitted sublicensees.   Intel, may, however, grant such rights to
       an entity having a subsidiary, group or division thereof which is
       engaged in the development, marketing or distribution of BIOS related
       system software products as stand alone products which are
       competitive to the Phoenix Product(s), and which entity also
       substantially engaged in the development, marketing or distribution
       of other products as well, provided that Intel shall execute an
       agreement with such entity which provides that such subsidiary, group
       or division of such entity shall have no access to, and no rights of
       any kind with respect to, the Source Code of any Phoenix Product,
       Dedicated Development, or any Phoenix intellectual property in
       accordance with Sections 2.3 and 2.4.

2.9    [  TEXT DELETED  ].

2.10   Phoenix will not deliver any particular Beta Release or higher
       version (i.e. Beta Release 1, Beta Release 2, Beta Release X, or
       Production Release) of any Dedicated Development to any customer
       until 90 days after the date on which Intel first delivers the same
       particular version of such Dedicated  Development to any customer.
       Furthermore, Phoenix will not deliver any version of any particular
       Dedicated Development to any third party before Phoenix is entitled
       to deliver a Beta Release version of such Dedicated Development to a
       third party. Those portions of  Dedicated Developments which  solely
       support commercially available Intel chips are exempt from this
       provision. Those portions of  Dedicated Developments which solely
       support standard chips from third parties may be exempt from  this
       provision at Intel's option, and upon written notice to Phoenix by
       Intel.

2.11   No rights or licenses are granted, whether expressly, by
       implication, or by estoppel, under or with  respect to any
       Confidential Information or patent, copyright, trade secret,
       trademark, maskwork, or  other intellectual property right owned or
       controlled by either Party, except as expressly set forth in  this
       Section 2.  Furthermore, without limiting the foregoing, Phoenix
       acknowledges that it receives no right, license, release or immunity,
       directly or indirectly, express, implied or by estoppel in or to
       Intel component level or microprocessor technology under any Intel
       patent, copyright, trade secret, mask work or other intellectual
       property right, including but not limited to Intel X86 microprocessor
       chip  series including the 80386, 80486 and Pentium-R- or Pentium Pro
       microcprocessor chips and related  chip sets, or any successor,
       future or similar software compatible Intel microprocessor chips and
       related chip sets, Flash memory chips or video chips, or ASIC
       developed specifically for Intel products.

3.     MATTERS RELATING TO DEVELOPMENT OF SOFTWARE BY PHOENIX UNDER
       THIS AGREEMENT

3.1    (a)  Intel and Phoenix will meet periodically, at Intel's
       reasonable request, to discuss Intel's  plans [  TEXT DELETED  ] and
       technology (other than Intel Products).  Intel will at its sole
       discretion determine the information it will disclose to Phoenix, and
       Intel may, as a condition of disclosing information, request that
       Phoenix sign other documents or non-disclosure agreements covering
       protection of Intel's intellectual property.  Intel and Phoenix will
       agree in writing on the  features and/or functionality for Phoenix
       Products that Phoenix will deliver to support such plans  and the
       schedule therefore.  Phoenix will use commercially reasonable efforts
       to develop such  features and/or functionality in accordance with
       such agreement.  Failure of Intel and Phoenix to agree upon the
       applicable features,  functionality, and/or schedule  for Phoenix
       Products, or  failure of Phoenix to use commercially reasonable
       efforts to implement  such agreement, will, in  Intel's sole
       discretion, be grounds for termination of this Agreement pursuant to
       Section 10.2(b)  below and applicable sections of Exhibit B.

       (b)  In consideration of the provision by Intel of significant Intel
       Confidential Information to Phoenix, Phoenix agrees that, during the
       term of this Agreement, it will first develop new features for
       Phoenix Products for microprocessors [  TEXT DELETED  ] and only to the
       extent such microprocessors  [  TEXT DELETED  ].

3.2    Phoenix will deliver to Intel one copy of the Source and
       Object Code for the Phoenix Products and Updates and Enhancements
       within three (3) working days of the earlier of (i) the date when
       shipped  as a Production Release to more than one Phoenix customer
       and (ii) the date when released internally  for pre-release use
       within Phoenix in alpha or beta release form if (a) it becomes part
       of Phoenix's  written corporate plan for new standard product
       features which has been approved by Phoenix's chief  executive
       officer or chief technology officer, or (b) it has been presented to
       more than one Phoenix  customer as a new product which will be
       available to more than one Phoenix customer.  In addition,  Phoenix
       will deliver to Intel Dedicated Developments

                                             CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED

                                   -5-

<PAGE>

       in accordance with milestones in the agreed  upon schedule.  Furthermore,
       no later than June 30, 1996, Phoenix will provide access via electronic
       data link to Phoenix's source code database, including any Software due
       to Intel under this  Agreement, no less frequently than Phoenix updates
       its own remote source code databases.    Phoenix  will deliver to
       Intel one copy of the Source and Object Code for any Phoenix Product
       or Dedicated  Development tailored to or optimized for Intel Products
       no later than ten  (10) calendar days before  delivery to any third
       party.

3.3    Phoenix will assign a number of engineers who will comprise the
       Dedicated Engineering Team and  will render services solely in
       connection with development and deployment of Phoenix Products
       and  Dedicated Developments in or on Intel Products.  The
       timetable for establishing the Dedicated Engineering Team, which will
       initially be comprised of twenty (20) persons, is set forth in
       Exhibit D  hereto.  The number of engineers assigned on an on-going
       basis to the Dedicated Engineering Team  will be determined in
       accordance with a schedule from time to time agreed to by Intel and
       Phoenix,  but at no time will the number be less than twenty (20);
       provided, however, that Intel shall have the right to reduce the
       number of engineers on the Dedicated Engineering Team below twenty
       (20) if in  Intel's reasonable judgment the performance of the
       Dedicated Engineering Team has not been  satisfactory, and if Intel
       has notified Phoenix in writing of such unsatisfactory performance
       and specified to Phoenix in writing what Phoenix must do to render
       such performance satisfactory to Intel, and then attempted to work
       with Phoenix to resolve the unsatisfactory performance for at least
       ninety (90) days.  If Intel does reduce the number of engineers on
       the Dedicated Engineering Team below  twenty (20), then Intel shall
       be entitled to reduce the Annual Fee by  [  TEXT DELETED  ] for each
       engineer removed, pro-rated for that portion of the Year during which
       such engineer is removed;  [  TEXT DELETED  ].

       Without limiting any other provision of this Agreement, the Parties
       agree that, with respect to any  notification by Intel of
       unsatisfactory performance, (i) if Phoenix has previously been given
       a  notice of unsatisfactory performance within the preceding
       twenty-four (24) month period, then the  period during which Intel
       will be required to work with Phoenix to resolve the unsatisfactory
       performance will be reduced to thirty (30) days, and (ii) if Phoenix
       has previously been given at  least two (2) notices of unsatisfactory
       performance within the preceding twenty-four (24) month  period, then
       Intel may reduce the Dedicated Engineering Team without any
       obligation on Intel to  first work with Phoenix to resolve the
       unsatisfactory performance.

3.4    (a)  Intel may request that Phoenix increase the number of
       engineers comprising the Dedicated  Engineering Team to more than
       twenty (20) by giving Phoenix written notice of such request at least
       [  TEXT DELETED  ] days prior to the date on which Intel is
       requesting that such additional engineers become part of the
       Dedicated Engineering Team.  Phoenix agrees to  comply with any
       request which would not cause a cumulative increase in the number of
       members of the Dedicated  Engineering Team by more than
       [  TEXT DELETED  ] of the  number of members in a given Year.  In the
       event the number of engineers is increased beyond twenty (20), then
       Phoenix shall invoice  Intel for such additional engineers in
       accordance with the rates set forth in Section 4.1 (d).

       (b)  Intel, in its sole discretion, may reduce the Dedicated
       Engineering Team to any number  equal or greater to twenty (20) by
       giving Phoenix at least  [  TEXT DELETED  ] days notice prior to the
       date on which Intel is requesting that such reduction occur;
       provided, however, that the charges invoiced by Phoenix hereunder
       for such engineers will be reduced by the then-current

       charge for the particular engineers removed, pro-rated for that portion
       of the Year during which such engineers are removed.

3.5    Intel will have the right to require up to twenty (20) members
       of the Dedicated Engineering Team to be located at a site or sites,
       selected by Phoenix, near  facilities where Intel's organization
       supporting system-level software on Intel Products are located, such
       location presently being Hillsboro, Oregon.   Phoenix will have the
       right to determine where any members of the Dedicated Engineering
       Team  beyond such members near Intel's facility will be located.  If
       Intel moves such Intel facilities or parts  thereof to a place which
       is more than twenty-five (25) miles from the present site and
       requests that  Phoenix move all or a portion of the On-Site
       Engineering Team to or near the new site, Intel will be  responsible
       for reimbursing Phoenix for the following actual and reasonable costs
       associated with  relocating its employees to a new site, to the
       extent consistent with Intel's employee relocation reimbursement
       policies:

             (a) the out of pocket costs for transportation, lodging, meals,
       and shipping required to move  the members of the On-Site Engineering
       Team and the members of their household, equipment, furniture and
       fixtures,

             (b) the out of pocket transportation, lodging and meals costs for
       up to [  TEXT DELETED  ] trips for no more than  [ TEXT DELETED ] per
       trip by no more than  [  TEXT DELETED  ] Phoenix personnel charged
       with locating and establishing a new work site for the On-Site
       Engineering  Team, and

             (c) reimbursement of up to  [  TEXT DELETED  ] months worth of
       rent incurred to terminate any lease relating to the previous site
       for the On-Site Engineering Team, provided that such
       [  TEXT DELETED  ] month maximum reimbursement amount shall be
       reduced by  [TEXT DELETED] rent for each month of advance notice
       beyond  [  TEXT DELETED  ] months' advance notice that Intel gives
       Phoenix prior to moving the On-Site Engineering Team.

       If Intel requests that the On-site Engineering Team be split among
       multiple sites and Phoenix documents in advance in writing to Intel's
       Business Coordinator that Phoenix's reasonable costs are increased by
       such multiple sites, and if Intel elects to split the On-site
       Engineering Team among multiple sites after receiving such
       information,  then Intel shall reimburse Phoenix for the difference
       in costs to Phoenix between having such multiple sites and having a
       single site for the first year of startup and maintaining each such
       new site.

3.6    Phoenix will perform the work outlined in Exhibit D, and Intel
       and Phoenix representatives comprised of the Coordinators and, if
       appropriate, members of the Dedicated Engineering Team and of the
       Intel engineers, will meet from time to time (but no less often than
       quarterly) to establish by mutual agreement a list of future
       deliverables in addition to the work in Exhibit D, including
       specifications, milestones, and schedules, for the Dedicated
       Engineering Team.  Failure to agree on such a list of deliverables or
       failure to agree on a license requested by Phoenix pursuant to
       Section 3.9 may, in Intel's sole discretion, be treated the same as
       failure to provide satisfactory performance as provided in Section
       3.3, entitling Intel to reduce the number of members of the Dedicated
       Engineering Team.

3.7    Phoenix will have the right to reassign any member of the
       Dedicated Engineering Team, provided that it replaces that member
       with another person with equivalent skills. Intel will have the right
       to request the immediate removal of any member of the Dedicated
       Engineering Team for security or safety reasons or any other reason
       under Intel's personnel policies for which employees can be
       dismissed, upon written notice to Phoenix.  Phoenix will have a
       reasonable period of time, but not more than  [  TEXT DELETED  ]
       days, to replace such member.

<PAGE>

3.8    In addition, Intel and Phoenix will discuss and attempt to
       resolve any assertion by Intel that a member of the Dedicated
       Engineering Team fails to meet reasonable performance standards.  If
       Intel and Phoenix agree that such member should be removed from the
       team, Phoenix will have a reasonable period of time, but not more
       than  [  TEXT DELETED  ] days, to replace such member.

3.9    In the event that Intel and Phoenix agree that any features
       and/or functionality for Phoenix Products developed or to be
       developed by Phoenix pursuant to Section 3.1(a) requires a license
       under one or more patent claims and/or copyrights of Intel
       specifically identified by Phoenix in writing that cover such
       features and/or functionality and are necessary for Phoenix to make,
       have made, use, sell, lease, copy, modify, or distribute such
       features and/or functionality embodied in software provided such
       software is incorporated only in Phoenix Products, and Phoenix and
       Intel are unable to agree to reasonable terms for such license, then
       Phoenix shall be relieved of its obligations under Section 3.1(a) to
       develop and support such features and/or functionality for Intel.
       Intel may elect to grant or not grant any such license in its sole
       discretion.  If Intel does agree to grant such a license, such grant
       shall be pursuant to a separate written agreement between the
       parties.  In the event that Intel does not agree with Phoenix that a
       license from Intel under one or more patent claims or copyrights
       specifically identified in writing by Phoenix is required in order
       for Phoenix to make, have made, use, sell, lease, copy, modify or
       distribute products incorporating such features and/or functionality
       embodied in software, then Intel will either promptly so state to
       Phoenix in writing or else Phoenix shall be relieved of its
       obligations under Section 3.1(a) to develop and support such a
       feature for Intel.

       In the event that Intel and Phoenix agree that any Dedicated
       Development developed or to be developed by Phoenix under Section 3.6
       requires a license under one or more patent claims and/or copyrights
       of Intel specifically identified by Phoenix in writing that cover
       such Dedicated Development and are necessary for Phoenix to make,
       have made, use, sell, lease, copy, modify, or distribute such
       Dedicated Development embodied in software provided such software is
       incorporated only in Phoenix Products, and Phoenix and Intel are
       unable to agree to reasonable terms for such license, then Phoenix
       shall not be required hereunder to devote more than
       [  TEXT DELETED  ] of the Dedicated Engineering Team to the
       development and support of such Dedicated Development for Intel.
       Intel may elect to grant or not grant any such license in its sole
       discretion.  If Intel does agree to grant such a license, such grant
       shall be pursuant to a separate written agreement between the
       parties.  In the event that Intel does not agree with Phoenix that a
       license from Intel under one or more patent claims or copyrights
       specifically identified in writing by Phoenix is required in order
       for Phoenix to make, have made, use, sell, lease, copy, modify or
       distribute products incorporating such Dedicated Development embodied
       in software, then Intel will either promptly so state to Phoenix in
       writing or else Phoenix shall not be required hereunder to devote
       more than  [  TEXT DELETED  ] of the Dedicated Development Team to
       the development and support of such Dedicated Development for Intel.

3.10   Phoenix will submit a monthly report in a format acceptable to
       both Parties which includes as a minimum a summary of status of all
       Phoenix activities then underway under this Agreement, a description
       of the technical design concepts or approach for each activity,
       progress against schedule, and significant developments and problems
       during the reporting period.  Intel's receipt of  this report shall
       in no way be deemed  to constitute input from Intel with respect
       designs, specifications, and instructions for Phoenix Products and
       Dedicated Developments.

3.11   Phoenix will submit to Intel a resume (but without the name of
       the individual on such resume) for every engineer which Phoenix
       intends to assign to the Dedicated Engineering Team not less than two
       weeks before such assignment.   Intel may review and comment on such
       resumes, but selection of qualified personnel is at Phoenix's sole
       discretion.

<PAGE>

4.1    COMPENSATION:  In consideration of the grant of the licenses
       and the other rights given to Intel and work performed by Phoenix
       hereunder, Intel agrees to pay Phoenix the amounts set forth in this
       Section 4 and Exhibit B, which shall be the only payments due Phoenix
       for such licenses, rights and work.



       (a)   ANNUAL FEE: Intel will pay Phoenix a non-refundable Minimum
       Annual Fee that shall accrue and be earned quarterly, with the first
       quarter of the Minimum Annual Fee accruing on the date of this
       Agreement.  The amount of each Minimum Annual Fee during the Term is
       set forth in Exhibit B.  Each Minimum Annual Fee will be payable in
       four equal quarterly installments on or before the first business day
       of each calendar quarter; provided, however, that the first quarterly
       installment of  [  TEXT DELETED  ] shall be due concurrently with the
       execution of this Agreement and shall represent the portion of the
       Annual Fee through the quarter ending March 31, 1996.

       (b)   PER COPY ROYALTIES:  In addition to the Minimum Annual Fee
       amount, for each Year, Intel will pay Phoenix a per copy royalty for
       each copy of an Intel Product which contains a Phoenix Product and/or
       a Dedicated Development (but not for copies of Tools other than as
       set forth in Section 4.1(e) below) which Intel and its sublicensees
       distribute to customers in any Year in excess of the amount referred
       to in Exhibit B as "Schedule Units (M)".

       (c)   SOURCE CODE FEES:  If Intel sublicenses any Source Code
       version of Phoenix Products or Dedicated Developments to any
       customer, Intel will pay Phoenix the Source Code license fee set
       forth in Exhibit B hereto.

       (d)   FEES FOR DEDICATED ENGINEERING TEAM:  The charge for the
       first twenty (20) members of the Dedicated Engineering Team per Year
       is included in the Minimum Annual Fee described above. Intel will pay
       Phoenix for each additional member at the annual rate of
       [  TEXT DELETED  ] per engineer added by Phoenix at Intel's request
       in accordance with Section 3.4 above, if during the Year prior to the
       Year during which such engineer is first requested Intel and its
       sublicensees shipped less than the Schedule Units (as defined in
       Exhibit B) for such prior year.  Intel will pay Phoenix for each such
       additional member at the annual rate of  [  TEXT DELETED] per
       engineer added by Phoenix at Intel's request in accordance with
       Section 3.4 above, if during the Year prior to the Year during which
       such engineer is first requested Intel has shipped more than the
       Schedule Units for such prior  Year ; provided, however, that if the
       request is made in calendar 1997, the  [  TEXT DELETED  ] will apply
       if during the prior Year Intel and its sublicensees shipped
       [  TEXT DELETED  ] of the Schedule Units for calendar year 1996. Once
       the annual rate for an additional engineer is determined in
       accordance with this Section 4.1(d), such rate shall remain fixed at
       such amount for each Year thereafter during which such engineering
       position is rendering services to Intel.  The amount will be prorated
       based on the portion of the Year during which the additional engineer
       performs services as part of the Dedicated Engineering Team.

       (e)   THIRD PARTY SOFTWARE:  Tools may include Software developed
       by one or more third parties for which Phoenix is required to pay
       royalties or license fees to such third parties.  Intel will
       reimburse Phoenix for any such royalties or license fees which are
       based on  [  TEXT DELETED  ] with respect to copies of Tools utilized
       by Intel hereunder, provided that Phoenix has disclosed and Intel has
       approved such royalties or license fees in advance.  If Intel does
       not approve any particular royalties or license fees, then Phoenix
       will not supply any Tool hereunder containing the third party
       Software which requires such royalties or license fees. Intel will
       not be required to reimburse Phoenix for any  [  TEXT DELETED  ]
       which Phoenix becomes obligated

       to pay to any third party to obtain licensing or sublicensing rights
       with respect to Software incorporated into Phoenix Products and/or
       Dedicated Developments.

4.2    ROYALTY EXCLUSIONS

       No royalties will be payable by Intel pursuant to Sections 4.1(b)
       and 4.1(c) for copies of Phoenix Products and/or Dedicated
       Developments, which are i) used internally by Intel, its sublicensees
       and/or authorized representatives for software development or
       customer support, ii) used by Intel, its sublicensees and/or
       authorized representatives for evaluation, demonstration or marketing
       purposes (provided such party does not receive a royalty or other fee
       beyond manufacturing costs), iii) used by Intel, its sublicensees,
       and/or authorized representatives internally for demonstration,
       training, evaluation, support and similar purposes, iv) shipped by
       Intel, its sublicensees and/or authorized representatives as
       replacement copies for copies found to be defective in materials,
       manufacture or reproduction, v) used by Intel, its sublicensees
       and/or authorized representatives as archival or back up copies, vi)
       used by Intel, its sublicensees, and/or authorized representatives
       solely for compatibility testing, or vii) transferred from one
       end-user to another in accordance with any applicable licenses,
       provided the transferor does not retain any copies.

4.3    MAINTENANCE OF RECORDS; AUDIT RIGHTS

       (a)   For a period of two (2) years following payment by one Party of
       any amount owed the other Party hereunder, each Party will maintain any
       records it may have with respect to such payment, which in the case of
       Intel shall include records showing the number of units of Intel
       Products or other products incorporating Phoenix Products or Dedicated
       Developments shipped by Intel and/or its sublicensees with respect to
       any Year for which a Per Copy Royalty may be due, and in the case of
       Phoenix shall include records relating to reimbursable costs under
       Section 3.5, to third party software royalties or license fees under
       Section 4.1(e) and to charges for additional engineering services
       rendered pursuant to Section 9.4.  In the case of Intel, such records
       will include any records received by Intel from its sublicensees or
       generated by Intel relating to amounts owed by its sublicensees
       as a result of the sublicense.

       (b)   Each Party may, at its own expense and upon at least five
       (5) business days' notice to the other Party, cause an audit to be
       performed by an independent auditor acceptable to both Parties of the
       records of the other Party described in Section 4.3(a) above.  The
       audit shall be for the purpose of confirming the accuracy of the
       payment of fees and royalties or other charges in accordance with
       this Agreement (including without limitation Exhibit B attached
       hereto) and the obtaining of appropriate licenses with sublicensees.
       The auditor will report to the Party commissioning the audit only
       such information obtained during the course of such audit as is
       necessary to determine whether the payments made by the other Party
       hereunder were correct and/or appropriate licenses with sublicensees
       were obtained.  Each Party may cause such audits to be conducted not
       more frequently than once in any Year and only during normal business
       hours and at the other Party's facility(ies) where such records are
       kept. If any such audit discloses an error in payment by either Party
       of amounts owed the other Party in an amount greater than 5% of the
       total amounts owed for the period audited, the audited Party will
       also reimburse the commissioning Party for all expenses (including
       the fees and expenses incurred by the independent third party
       referred to in the first sentence hereof) in connection with such
       audit.

4.4    PAYMENT

       (a)   Phoenix will issue Intel an invoice for any charges due
       hereunder for additional engineering help requested from Phoenix
       pursuant to Section 9.4 below, and for any charges due pursuant to
       Sections 3.4 and 3.5 above and Sections 4.1(d) and 11(a)(ii) below.
       Such amounts shall be  payable forty-five (45) calendar days after the
       close of the month in which the invoice is received.

                                     -10-

       (b)   Intel will submit Shipment and Royalty Reports to Phoenix
             within forty-five (45) days after the end of each calendar
             quarter during the Term and any period thereafter during which
             Intel may have per unit royalty payment or Source Code sublicense
             fee payment obligations hereunder to Phoenix under Sections 4.1(b),
             4.1(c), and 4.1(e).  Such reports will indicate the shipments (if
             any) by Intel or its sublicensees with Phoenix Products or
             Dedicated Developments in excess of Schedule Units for which a per
             copy royalty has not previously been paid, and the names of any
             sublicensees to whom Intel has issued a Source Code sublicense
             during such quarter and the version of the Source Code sublicensed.
             Such reports will be accompanied by a check for the amount of the
             Source Code license fees due Phoenix pursuant to Exhibit B hereto
             for any Source Code sublicenses and for the amount of the aggregate
             per copy royalties due Phoenix, if any, for such quarter.

       REGARDLESS OF WHETHER ANY REMEDY SET FORTH HEREIN FAILS OF ITS
       ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OR OTHERWISE, IN NO EVENT WILL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE
       TO THE OTHER OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, INDIRECT,
       INCIDENTAL OR SPECIAL DAMAGES, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF
       SUCH  DAMAGES.  IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY'S TOTAL LIABILITY AND
       INDEMNITIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT FOR ALL CAUSES OF ACTION ON A
       CUMULATIVE BASIS ARISING DURING ANY PARTICULAR YEAR EXCEED THE
       PAYMENTS ACTUALLY MADE BY INTEL HEREUNDER DURING THE CALENDAR YEAR
       PRECEDING THE YEAR DURING WHICH THE CLAIM UPON WHICH THE LIABILITY OR
       INDEMNITY IS BASED WAS FIRST MADE (OR, IN THE CASE OF CLAIMS ARISING
       BETWEEN THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THIS AGREEMENT AND DECEMBER 31, 1996,
       SUCH PAYMENTS ACTUALLY MADE BY INTEL HEREUNDER DURING SUCH PERIOD);
       PROVIDED, HOWEVER THAT  THE PRECEDING CLAUSE SHALL NOT APPLY TO LIMIT
       PAYMENTS OWED BY INTEL TO PHOENIX UNDER SECTION 4.1, PHOENIX'S
       OBLIGATIONS UNDER SECTION 6.1, PHOENIX'S OBLIGATIONS UNDER SECTION 6.2 TO
       THE EXTENT ARISING OUT OF WILLFUL INFRINGEMENT BY SUCH PARTY, AND
       PHOENIX'S OBLIGATIONS OF REFUND PROVIDED FOR IN SECTION 5.5.


8.     CONFIDENTIALITY

8.1    (a)  During the Term of this Agreement, each Party will hold
       any of the other's Confidential Information (as defined in the next
       paragraph) in confidence and will: (i) use the same degree of care to
       prevent unauthorized disclosure of the Confidential Information and
       unauthorized disclosure or unauthorized use of the Source Code that
       the receiving Party uses with its own information of like nature (but
       in no event less than reasonable care), (ii) limit disclosure of the
       Confidential Information, including any materials regarding the
       Confidential Information that the receiving Party has generated, to
       such of its employees and contractors or sublicensees as have a need
       to know the Confidential Information to accomplish the purposes of
       this Agreement, (iii) advise its employees, agents, contractors and
       sublicensees of the confidential nature of the Confidential
       Information and of the receiving Party's obligations under this
       Agreement.

       (b)  For purposes of this Agreement, the term "Confidential
       Information" refers to the following items relating to the
       confidential and proprietary information, including trade secrets, of
       the disclosing Party: (i) all written materials provided by the
       disclosing Party that are clearly marked as confidential, (ii) any
       tangible materials provided by the disclosing Party that are clearly
       marked as confidential, and (iii) all information that is orally or
       visually disclosed by the disclosing Party if it is identified as
       confidential at the time of disclosure and is reduced to written
       disclosure delivered to the receiving Party within thirty (30) days
       after the original disclosure.  All Source Code will be deemed to be
       "Confidential Information."  "Confidential Information" will not
       include, even if marked as confidential, materials or information
       which:  (i) is rightfully known without obligations of
       confidentiality by the receiving Party, (ii) is or becomes public
       knowledge through no wrongful act of the receiving Party, its agents,
       employees, sublicensees or affiliates, (iii) is rightfully received
       by the receiving Party from another Party authorized by the
       disclosing Party to disseminate such materials or information, (iv)
       is independently developed by the receiving Party without breach of
       this Agreement, or (v) is approved in writing for release by the
       disclosing Party.  Any employee or contractor or sublicensee of the
       receiving Party having access to the Confidential Information will be
       required to sign a non-disclosure agreement protecting the
       Confidential Information if not already bound by such a
       non-disclosure agreement.

       (c)  Each Party acknowledges and agrees that unauthorized use or
       disclosure of such Source Code would cause the other Party
       irreparable harm which may not be adequately compensated by


                                     -13-

<PAGE>

       monetary damages and that, accordingly, the other Party is entitled to
       preliminary and injunctive relief to remedy any actual or threatened
       unauthorized use or disclosure of such Source Code.

       (d)  Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, neither Party's
       receipt of or access to the Source Code of the other Party pursuant
       to this Agreement shall create any obligation on the part of such
       Party to limit or restrict the assignment of its employees; provided,
       however, that (i) Intel agrees that no personnel who have had access
       to any Phoenix Source Code hereunder in tangible or human readable
       form will, for at least [  TEXT DELETED  ], be assigned to work on
       any project (other than outside standard committees or similar
       activities) with technical personnel from, or with any Source Code of
       SystemSoft Corporation or Award Software, and (ii) Phoenix agrees
       that no personnel who have had access to any Confidential Information
       of Intel provided to Phoenix under this Agreement in tangible or
       human readable form will, for at least  [  TEXT DELETED  ], be
       assigned to work on any project (other than outside standard
       committees or similar activities) to develop software or other
       products to be used with any processor, motherboard, or multi-chip
       module manufactured by a party other than Intel.  Nothing in this
       Agreement shall be construed as preventing employees of one Party who
       have had access to such Source Code or Confidential Information of
       the other Party from drawing upon or using any skills, knowledge,
       talent or experience of a general nature acquired by them in the
       course of working with such Source Code or Confidential Information,
       provided that (i) such employees may not refer directly to such
       Source Code or Confidential Information of the other Party in
       tangible form when working on equivalent or substitute products or
       other products of such Party, and (ii) such employees do not infringe
       copyrights or patents of the other Party not otherwise within the
       scope of any licenses granted to such Party hereunder.

8.2    Except to the extent required by law or judicial order or
       except as provided herein, neither Party shall disclose this
       Agreement or any of its terms without the other's prior written
       approval, which approval will not be delayed or unreasonably
       withheld.  Either Party may disclose this Agreement to the extent
       required by law or judicial order, or rules or regulations of any
       federal, state, or local organization, provided that the disclosing
       Party will notify the other Party of the portions of the Agreement it
       intends to disclose promptly before such disclosure and will
       cooperate with the other Party to the maximum extent possible to seek
       confidential treatment with respect to the disclosure if requested by
       the other Party.

8.3    Prior to the execution of this Agreement, the parties will
       agree on the content of a joint press release announcing the
       existence of this Agreement, which press release will be issued as
       mutually agreed by the parties.   Prior to any public announcement
       about the Transition Plan, the parties will agree on the content of a
       joint press release announcing information about the Transition Plan,
       which press release will be issued as mutually agreed by the parties.


8.4    Neither Party will be required to disclose to the other any confidential
       information of any third party without having first obtained such
       third party's prior written consent.

8.5    The provisions of this Section 8 shall survive for a period of
       five (5) years (and indefinitely with respect to Source Code of the
       Phoenix Products and Dedicated Developments and any Confidential
       Information of Intel related to Intel processor  technology or Intel
       Source Code) from the date of disclosure.

9.4    Intel may obtain additional engineering services from Phoenix
       outside the scope of the Dedicated Engineering Team, by submitting a
       written request to Phoenix specifying the requested work to be
       performed and the requested dates of completion.  Intel will provide
       such additional information requested by Phoenix in order to enable
       Phoenix to prepare a Statement of Work which contains a detailed
       description of the work to be performed, the specifications for the
       work, the deliverables and the estimated completion dates of the
       deliverables.  No work will commence by Phoenix until the parties
       mutually agree to the Statement of Work.  Phoenix will be compensated
       for all services rendered pursuant to the Statement of Work at a rate
       of  [  TEXT DELETED  ] per day per engineer plus all necessary travel
       and living expenses incurred if such work is rendered outside of the
       premises of Phoenix and authorized in advance by Intel.

10.    TERM AND TERMINATION

10.1   TERM.  The Term of this agreement shall commence with the
       Effective Date and expire on December 31, 2002, unless terminated
       earlier as provided herein.

10.2   TERMINATION.  This Agreement may be terminated under the follow
       circumstances and conditions:

       (a)  CONVENIENCE.  Intel may terminate this Agreement for
       convenience at any time after the third anniversary of the date of
       this Agreement.  Such termination will be effective twelve (12)
       months after the date on which written notice of such termination is
       given by Intel.  Intel may provide such termination notice any time
       after the second anniversary date of this Agreement.

       (b)  BREACH.  Either Party may terminate this Agreement upon
       forty-five (45) days written notice if the other Party breaches any
       of its material obligations hereunder.  Termination will be effective
       at the end of the notice period, unless the breach is cured during
       the forty-five (45) day notice period.

10.3   EFFECT OF TERMINATION.  The following is applicable upon
       termination or expiration of this Agreement:

       (a)  The confidentiality provisions of this Agreement will
       survive termination or expiration hereof in accordance with the
       provisions of Section 8.5 above.  In addition, the provisions of
       Sections 1, 2.6, 2.8(b), 2.9, 2.11, 4 (except section 4.1(d)), 6-7,
       10, 11(a), 12 and 14 will survive termination or expiration of this
       Agreement.  In addition, the provisions of Section 5 will survive
       termination or expiration of this Agreement, provided, however, that
       the warranty set forth in Section 5.5 shall apply only for a period
       of six (6) months after expiration or termination and only with
       respect to products actually shipped by Intel or its sublicensees as
       of the date of such expiration or termination.

       (b)  [ TEXT DELETED ] If Phoenix terminates this Agreement pursuant to
       Section 10.2(b) above, Intel and its sublicensees will have no further
       rights with respect to Phoenix Products and Dedicated Developments from

       all copies of Phoenix Products and Dedicated Developments, except for a
       reasonable number of copies which it may maintain for archival and
       support purposes only.  Intel and its sublicensees will also have the
       right to distribute Phoenix Products in inventory and to make copies for
       work in process for  [  TEXT DELETED  ] days after such termination;
       provided, however, any Phoenix Products so

       distributed will be distributed in accordance with all other provisions
       hereof and provided, further, that Intel shall pay fees and royalties in
       amounts determined as though this Agreement had not been so terminated.

       (c)  [ TEXT DELETED ]  In no event, will Intel be obligated to pay any
       fees or royalties for use of  Phoenix Products or Dedicated Developments
       following expiration or termination, except as set forth in Exhibit B.

       (d)  Phoenix will not be required to provide Intel with any
       Phoenix Products, Updates and Enhancements or Dedicated Developments,
       with the services of the Dedicated Engineering Team, or with any
       support (except as explicitly set forth herein) with respect thereto
       from and after the date of termination or expiration of the Agreement.

11.    TREATMENT OF EMPLOYEES

       (a)  Except as provided herein, neither Party may actively
       solicit the other's employees during the term of this Agreement and
       for one year thereafter.  For purposes of this provision, the term
       "actively solicit" shall not include a Party's activities related to
       publishing job postings or listings to the Party's employees or job
       applicants in general.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in
       this Agreement shall prevent either Party from responding to an
       employment inquiry received in the ordinary course of business from
       the other Party's employees.  Furthermore, if notice of Termination
       is given by Intel, or if this Agreement expires or is terminated for
       any reason other than by Phoenix pursuant to Section 10.2(b) hereof,
       Intel will have the right to make direct offers of employment to one
       or more members of the On-Site Engineering Team, but not before:

             (i)  forty-five (45) days after any notice of termination by
       Intel under Section 10.2(b); or

             (ii)  with respect to each such member, the earlier of (a)
       sixty (60) days or (b) the day upon which Phoenix makes a direct
       offer to such member after any notice of termination by Intel under
       Section 10.2(a).  In the event that Intel hires any such members of
       the On-Site Engineering Team after the expiration of the waiting
       period, then (1) the number of members of the Dedicated Engineering
       Team that Phoenix shall be obligated to supply hereunder shall be
       reduced by the number of such engineers hired by Intel, and (2) the
       Annual Fees to be paid hereunder by Intel will be reduced by amounts
       equal to amounts in Section 3.3 for unsatisfactory performance or in
       Section  3.4(b) for reductions in the size of the Dedicated
       Engineering Team by the pro-rated amount for such engineers hired by
       Intel that Intel would otherwise have been required to pay hereunder
       had Phoenix supplied such engineers, provided, however, that Intel
       shall pay Phoenix a one-time fee equal to  [  TEXT DELETED  ] of the
       annual charge hereunder for each engineer hired by Intel.

       Intel agrees that, during any applicable waiting period, it will
       not recruit any such engineers other than to issue a general notice
       stating only that Intel has the right to make offers of employment
       after the applicable waiting period.

       (b)  Phoenix acknowledges that the following terms apply to
       employment of Phoenix engineers granted access to Intel's facilities:

             (i)  Intel may exercise routine supervisory administrative and
       technical control of the activities of such Phoenix engineers.
       Notwithstanding the foregoing, such Phoenix engineers will, at all
       times and for all purposes, remain employees of Phoenix.

                                             CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED

                                     -16-

<PAGE>

             (ii)  Phoenix will pay the wages or salaries of such Phoenix
       engineers and will withhold all Federal, state and local taxes, if
       any, and all FICA contributions payable on such wages or salaries.

             (iii)  Phoenix will have the sole and exclusive responsibility
       for establishing policies and procedures with respect to employment
       of such Phoenix engineers.  With the exception of Intel's right to
       request removal of Phoenix engineers pursuant to Section 3 of this
       Agreement, Phoenix will have exclusive control of such Phoenix
       engineers with respect to hiring, firing, discipline, compensation,
       hours of work, benefits and other terms and conditions of employment,
       provided that Phoenix will not make any rules or implement any
       conditions with respect to employment of such employees that, in any
       way, conflicts with the regular Intel safety, security and
       information security rules and regulations related to Intel's
       facilities.

             (iv) Phoenix will maintain at its sole cost and expense, with
       nationally recognized companies, Comprehensive General Liability
       Insurance with limits not less than $1,000,000 U.S. per incident and
       a Broad Form Extended coverage endorsement, including but not limited
       to, Blanket Contractual, Product-Completed Operations, Premises
       Operations and Independent Contractors.  Phoenix will also maintain
       Statutory Worker's compensation coverage, including Broad Form All
       State's Endorsements and Employers Liability in the amounts required
       by law.

12.    OWNERSHIP OF PHOENIX PRODUCTS, DEDICATED DEVELOPMENTS, INTEL
       DEVELOPMENTS AND JOINTLY DEVELOPED PRODUCTS

12.1   Phoenix will have all ownership rights (including patents,
       copyrights, trade secrets and other intellectual property rights)
       with respect to Phoenix Products and Dedicated Developments developed
       by Phoenix.

12.2   Intel will have all ownership rights (including patents,
       copyrights, trade secrets and other intellectual property rights)
       with respect to Intel Developments.

12.3   Phoenix and Intel will identify and specify in writing and in
       advance of any development effort any technology, Software and/or
       products which will be jointly owned by Phoenix and Intel pursuant to
       this Agreement, and only that technology, Software and/or those
       products which are so specified in writing shall be jointly owned,
       and such joint ownership shall be without rights or obligations of
       accounting.  If the parties do not specify that a particular item of
       technology or Software or a particular product that is jointly
       developed by Phoenix and Intel is to be jointly owned, then the
       parties intend that such technology, Software and/or product will not
       be a joint work, and each Party will have separate ownership of those
       portions of such technology, Software and/or products that it created
       or developed.  With respect to technology, Software and/or products
       that are jointly owned, either Party may seek patent protection, or
       trademark and copyright registrations, with respect to such jointly
       owned technology, Software and/or products in the names of the
       parties as joint owners, and the parties shall share equally the cost
       of doing so.  In the event that one Party elects not to share in the
       cost of seeking patent protection, or trademark and copyright
       registrations, with respect to a particular item of such technology,
       Software and/or products, then (i) the other Party may do so in its
       own name only and at its sole expense, (ii) the Party electing not to
       share in such expenses will execute any documents and take any action
       reasonably requested to allow the other Party to seek such protection
       and registrations in its name only, and (iii) the Party in whose name
       such patent or trademark or copyright registration issues shall
       grant, and does hereby grant to the other Party, a non-exclusive,
       worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, unrestricted, royalty free
       license, with full rights to sublicense, under the same.

13.    DEVELOPMENT OF A TRANSITION PLAN

                                     -17-

<PAGE>

       The Parties will work together to mutually agree, on or before
       February 15, 1996, to a written plan (the "Transition Plan") that
       defines the work, specifications, milestones, schedule, staffing, any
       rights Intel may choose to grant Phoenix in any intellectual property
       which Intel may choose to disclose to Phoenix,  and/or deliverables
       (the "Transition Services") to be performed by Phoenix to modify the
       Phoenix Products as necessary to enable them to support the range of
       features required by Intel to transition to the Phoenix Products for
       use with and/or incorporation into the Intel Products.  The
       Transition Plan will also include performance metrics required for
       Phoenix to earn the bonus of  [  TEXT DELETED  ] for calendar 1996
       set forth in Exhibit B.  The Transition Plan will provide that
       Phoenix will use up to ten (10) members of the Dedicated Engineering
       Team, and at least an equal number of skilled Phoenix engineers not
       on the Dedicated Engineering Team, during calendar 1996 to perform
       the Transition Services.  Intel will assign the equivalent of  at
       least two (2) full time senior engineers skilled in Intel's desktop
       computer products and the equivalent of at least two (2) full time
       senior engineers skilled in Intel's server computer products to
       assist Phoenix in performing the Transition Services.

       In the event the Parties are unable to agree to a Transition Plan
       by February 15, 1996 (or such extended period as the Parties may
       agree), then Intel may terminate this Agreement upon at least five
       (5) days advance written notice to the other Party.  In such event:
       (i) the  [  TEXT DELETED  ] payment to be made by Intel hereunder
       upon execution of this Agreement as provided in Section 4.1(a) will
       remain nonrefundable; (ii) each Party will, within five (5) business
       days, return to the other Party all Source Code of the other Party
       and all tangible embodiments of the other Party's Confidential
       Information; and (iii) notwithstanding the provisions of Section
       10.3(a) above, the following provisions of this Agreement shall
       remain in effect:  Sections 1, 2.11,  5.7, 6-8, 12, and 14.

14.    MISCELLANEOUS

14.1   The respective rights and obligations of each of the parties
       hereto may not be assigned or delegated, in whole or in part, by
       operation of law or otherwise, without the express written consent of
       the other Party.  Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement will be
       binding upon and inure to the benefit of the respective successors
       and assigns of the parties.

14.2   Any written notice required or permitted to be made or given
       under this Agreement will be deemed delivered upon receipt if
       delivered via U.S. certified mail, return receipt requested:

rights dispute, controversy or grievance or any other unfair labor practice
proceeding or breach of contract claim or action with respect to claims of, or
obligations to, any employee or group of employees of the Company.

circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

4.      REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND CERTAIN AGREEMENTS OF THE INVESTOR.
The Investor hereby represents and warrants to the Company, and agrees that:

        4.1 AUTHORIZATION. This Agreement constitutes the Investor's valid and
legally binding obligation, enforceable in accordance with its terms except as
may be limited by (a) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or
other laws of general application relating to or affecting the enforcement of
creditors' rights generally and (b) the effect of rules of law governing the
availability of equitable remedies.  The Investor has full corporate power and
authority to enter into this Agreement and the Investor Rights Agreement.

        4.2 PURCHASE FOR OWN ACCOUNT. The Purchased Shares and the Warrant to
be purchased by the Investor hereunder will be acquired for investment for the
Investor's own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the
public resale or distribution thereof within the meaning of the 1933 Act, and
the Investor has no present intention of selling, granting any participation
in, or otherwise distributing the same.  The Investor also represents that it
has not been formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the Purchased Shares
and the Warrant.

        4.3 DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION. The Investor has received or has had
full access to all the information it considers necessary or appropriate to
make an informed investment decision with respect to the Purchased Shares and
the Warrant to be purchased by the Investor under this Agreement.  The Investor
further has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the
Company regarding the terms and conditions of the offering of the Purchased
Shares, the Warrant and the Warrant Shares and to obtain additional information
(to the extent the Company possessed such information or could acquire it
without unreasonable effort or expense) necessary to verify any information
furnished to the Investor or to which the Investor had access.  The foregoing,
however, does not in any way limit or modify the representations and warranties
made by the Company in Section 3.


                                     -11-

<PAGE>

        4.4 INVESTMENT EXPERIENCE. The Investor understands that the purchase
of the Purchased Shares and the Warrant involves substantial risk.  The
Investor:  (a) has experience as an investor in securities of companies and
acknowledges that it is able to fend for itself, can bear the economic risk of
its investment in the Purchased Shares and the Warrant and has such knowledge
and experience in financial or business matters that it is capable of
evaluating the merits and risks of this investment in the Purchased Shares and
the Warrant and protecting its own interests in connection with this investment
and/or (b) has a preexisting personal or business relationship with the Company
and certain of its officers, directors or controlling persons of a nature and
duration that enables the Investor to be aware of the character, business
acumen and financial circumstances of such persons.

        4.5 ACCREDITED INVESTOR STATUS. The Investor is an "accredited
investor" within the meaning of Regulation D promulgated under the 1933 Act.

        4.6 RESTRICTED SECURITIES. The Investor understands that the Purchased
Shares and the Warrant to be purchased by the Investor hereunder, and any
Warrant Shares to be purchased by the Investor upon exercise of the Warrant,
are characterized as "restricted securities" under the 1933 Act inasmuch as
they are being acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a
public offering and that under the 1933 Act and applicable regulations
thereunder such securities may be resold without registration under the 1933
Act only in certain limited circumstances.  The Investor is familiar with Rule
144 of the SEC, as presently in effect, and understands the resale limitations
imposed thereby and by the 1933 Act.  The Investor understands that the Company
is under no obligation to register any of the securities sold hereunder except
as provided in the Investor Rights Agreement.

        4.7 FURTHER LIMITATIONS ON DISPOSITION. Without in any way limiting the
representations set forth above, the Investor further agrees not to make any
disposition of all or any portion of the Purchased Shares, the Warrant, or the
Warrant Shares unless and until:

             (a) there is then in effect a registration statement under the
1933 Act covering such proposed disposition and such disposition is made in
accordance with such registration statement; or

             (b) the Investor has notified the Company of the proposed
disposition and has furnished the Company with a statement of the circumstances
surrounding the proposed disposition, and  the Investor has furnished the
Company, at the expense of the Investor or its transferee, with an opinion of
counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Company, that such disposition will not
require registration of such securities under the 1933 Act.

Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 4.7,
no such registration statement or opinion of counsel will be required for any
transfer of any Purchased Shares, the Warrant, or any Warrant Shares in
compliance with SEC Rule 144, Rule 144A or Rule 145(d), or if such transfer
otherwise is exempt, in the view of the Company's legal counsel, from the
registration requirements of the 1933 Act, provided that, in the case of any
transfer that is otherwise exempt, the transferee agrees in writing to be
subject to the terms of this Section 4 to the same extent as if the transferee
were the original Investor hereunder.

in effect with respect to the legended security or that such security can be
freely transferred in a public sale without such a registration statement being

        7.3 CLAIMS FOR INDEMNIFICATION. If any Investor Indemnitee or Company
Indemnitee (an "INDEMNITEE") shall believe that such Indemnitee is entitled to
indemnification pursuant to this Section 7 in respect of any Damages, such
Indemnitee shall give the appropriate Indemnifying Party (which for purposes
hereof, in the case of an Investor Indemnitee, means the Company, and in the
case of a Company Indemnitee, means the Investor) prompt written notice
thereof.  Any such notice shall set forth in reasonable detail and to the
extent then known the basis for such claim for indemnification.  The failure of
such Indemnitee to give notice of any claim for indemnification promptly shall
not adversely affect such Indemnitee's right to indemnity hereunder except to
the extent that such failure adversely affects the right of the Indemnifying
Party to assert any reasonable defense to such claim.  Each such claim for
indemnity shall expressly state that the Indemnifying Party shall have only the
twenty (20) business day period referred to in the next sentence to dispute or
deny such claim.  The Indemnifying Party shall have twenty (20) business days
following its receipt of such notice either (a) to acquiesce in such claim by
giving such Indemnitee written notice of such acquiescence or (b) to object to
the claim by giving such Indemnitee written notice of the objection.  If
Indemnifying Party does not object thereto within such twenty (20) business day
period, such Indemnitee shall be entitled to be indemnified for all Damages
reasonably and proximately incurred by such Indemnitee in respect of such
claim.  If the Indemnifying Party objects to such claim in a timely manner, the
senior management of the Company and Investor shall meet to attempt to resolve
such dispute.  If the dispute cannot be resolved by the senior management,
either party may make a written demand for formal dispute resolution and
specify therein the scope of the dispute.  Within thirty days after such
written notification, the parties agree to meet for one day with an impartial
mediator and consider dispute resolution alternatives other than litigation.
If an alternative method of dispute resolution is not agreed upon within


                                     -16-

<PAGE>

thirty days after the one day mediation, either party may begin litigation
proceedings.  Nothing in this section shall be deemed to require arbitration.

        7.4 DEFENSE OF CLAIMS. In connection with any claim that may give rise
to indemnity under this Section 7 resulting from or arising out of any claim or
Proceeding against an Indemnitee by a person or entity that is not a party
hereto, the Indemnifying Party may but shall not be obligated to (unless such
Indemnitee elects not to seek indemnity hereunder for such claim), upon written
notice to the relevant Indemnitee, assume the defense of any such claim or
Proceeding if the Indemnifying Party with respect to such claim or Proceeding
acknowledges to the Indemnitee the Indemnitee's right to indemnity pursuant
hereto to the extent provided herein (as such claim may have been modified
through written agreement of the parties or arbitration hereunder) and provide
assurances, satisfactory to such Indemnitee, that the Indemnifying Party will
be financially able to satisfy such claim to the extent provided herein if such
claim or Proceeding is decided adversely.  If the Indemnifying Party assumes
the defense of any such claim or Proceeding, the Indemnifying Party shall
select counsel reasonably acceptable to such Indemnitee to conduct the defense
of such claim or Proceeding, shall take all steps necessary in the defense or
settlement thereof and shall at all times diligently and promptly pursue the
resolution thereof.  If the Indemnifying Party shall have assumed the defense
of any claim or Proceeding in accordance with this Section 7.4, the
Indemnifying Party shall be authorized to consent to a settlement of, or the
entry of any judgment arising from, any such claim or Proceeding, without the
prior written consent of such Indemnitee; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the
Indemnifying Party shall pay or cause to be paid all amounts arising out of
such settlement or judgment concurrently with the effectiveness thereof;
PROVIDED, FURTHER, that the Indemnifying Party shall not be authorized to
encumber any of the assets of any Indemnitee or to agree to any restriction
that would apply to any Indemnitee or to its conduct of business; and PROVIDED,
FURTHER, that a condition to any such settlement shall be a complete release of
such Indemnitee and its Affiliates, directors, officers, employees and agents
with respect to such claim, including any reasonably foreseeable collateral
consequences thereof.  Such Indemnitee shall be entitled to participate in (but
not control) the defense of any such action, with its own counsel and at its
own expense.  Each Indemnitee shall, and shall cause each of its Affiliates,
directors, officers, employees and agents to, cooperate fully with the
Indemnifying Party in the defense of any claim or Proceeding being defended by
the Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Section 7.4.  If the Indemnifying Party
does not assume the defense of any claim or Proceeding resulting therefrom in
accordance with the terms of this Section 7.4, such Indemnitee may defend
against such claim or Proceeding in such manner as it may deem appropriate,
including settling such claim or Proceeding after giving notice of the same to
the Indemnifying Party, on such terms as such Indemnitee may deem appropriate.
If any Indemnifying Party seeks to question the manner in which such Indemnitee
defended such claim or Proceeding or the amount of or nature of any such
settlement, such Indemnifying Party shall have the burden to prove by a
preponderance of the evidence that such Indemnitee did not defend such claim or
Proceeding in a reasonably prudent manner.

        7.5 CERTAIN DEFINITIONS. As used in this Section 7, (a) "AFFILIATE"
means, with respect to any person or entity, any person or entity directly or
indirectly controlling, controlled by or under direct or indirect common
