May 7, 2007

Dear Timothy:

This letter agreement (the “Agreement”) is entered into this 7th day of May, 2007, by and among the individuals and entities set forth on Annex A (“PRLS Holders”) in connection with their investment in Peerless Systems Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company” or “Peerless”).

1. Compensation. In consideration for the efforts to be undertaken by Pembridge Value Advisors LLC (“PVA”), as described below, and the PRLS Holders’ agreement, as set forth below, to lock-up their holdings of the Company’s common stock (the “Common Stock”), PRLS Holders hereby agrees that, regardless in the future when such event shall take place, upon the sale of its PRLS Holders’ Common Stock (which for purposes of this Agreement shall include, but not be limited to, a distribution of securities or other consideration in exchange for PRLS Holders’ Common Stock), PVA will receive an allocation of its profits as follows:

PRLS Holders shall pay and PVA shall receive 20% of the difference between $2.95 per share of Common Stock (“Starting Stock Price”) and the Total Amount Received per share of Common Stock (“Allocation”). “Total Amount Received” shall mean the sum of all cash and other consideration received (i) when the common stock is sold, redeemed, exchanged or disposed of for cash or any other consideration and (ii) payments made upon dissolution or liquidation of the Company, and each shall not be reduced by brokerage commissions or other costs. The Starting Stock Price shall receive anti-dilution protection in the event the Company takes a dilutive action that includes, but not limited to, a stock split, dividend or distribution.

PRLS Holders shall deliver to PVA the Allocation within five business days following the disposition of PRLS Holders shares of Common Stock.

2. Efforts to be Undertaken by PVA or its Affiliates. On April 27, 2007, an affiliate of PVA delivered notice to the Company of its intent to nominate three directors (the “Nominees”) to its Board of Directors. PVA presently intends to solicit proxies from the Company’s stockholders in support of the Nominees to be voted upon at Peerless’ 2007 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. PVA, in its sole discretion, shall determine how to solicit proxies and whether to terminate such efforts. PVA makes no assurances on its ability to be successful in electing the Nominees. PVA shall be responsible to make all necessary filings, if any, on behalf of itself and the PRLS Holders with the Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with its efforts described above and each party hereto shall cooperate with PVA by providing information and assistance for such filings, if any.

Page 45 of 51 Pages
     
 

3. Sales of Common Stock. PRLS Holders shall give written notice to PVA at least three business days prior to any disposition of their Common Stock and immediately after the consummation of any such disposition in order to provide the necessary time required to file all regulatory filings, if any.

4. Lock-up Agreement. PRLS Holders agree that it, collectively and individually, shall not sell, dispose of or transfer its Common Stock (i) until either (A) 15 months from the date hereof if two or more of the Nominees join the Company’s Board of Directors prior to October 31, 2007 or (B) October 31, 2007 if two or more Nominees fail to join the Company’s Board of Directors by such date, or (ii) unless they receive a minimum price of $4.25 per share of Common Stock.

5. Proxy. Simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement, each PRLS Holder shall execute the proxy attached hereto as Annex B for the number of their respective shares set forth on Annex A. The proxy executed by each PRLS Holder shall be used only in conjunction with the Company’s 2007 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, including all postponements and adjournments thereof.

6. Reimbursement for Expenses. In the event that Mr. Brog or any entity affiliated with him initiates, conducts or threatens a proxy contest relating to membership on the Company’s Board of Directors in connection with the Company’s 2007 Annual Meeting, the PRLS Holders agree to reimburse Mr. Brog for 50% of any expenses incurred related to the Proxy contest up to a maximum of $12,500.
