                                   ARTICLE IV.

disclosure of the  Information  and the  Documents,  except any  Information  or
Documents that are Non-Proprietary,  as defined immediately  hereafter.  For the
purposes of this  Agreement,  "Non-Proprietary"  Information  and  Documents are

                  otherwise   available   to  others  or  to  the  public  under
                  circumstances  such that  others or the public may utilize the
                  same without any direct or indirect obligation to Licensor, or

         (3)      are,  or at any time may be,  acquired  by  Licensee  from any
                  third  party  rightfully  possessed  of the same and having no
                  direct or  indirect  obligation  to Licensor  with  respect to
                  same.

         B. Upon the termination of the License Period:

         (1)      Licensee  shall  promptly  return to  Licensor  all of the
                  Documents  submitted  by  Licensor to Licensee;

         (2)      Licensee  shall not use or  disclose to any third party any of

                  are Non-Proprietary.

         C. Licensee shall cause all copies of the Licensed  Product (as well as
all promotional material) to bear appropriate proprietary notices.

                                   ARTICLE V.
                         REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

         A. Licensor hereby  represents and warrants that he is the owner of the
entire  right,  title and interest in and to the  Applications  and has the sole
right to grant  licenses of the scope  herein  granted,  and (to the best of his
knowledge) the  manufacture,  sale and use of the Licensed  Products by Licensee
will  not  infringe  the  rights  of  any  other  person.   Licensor   makes  no
representation  or warranty with respect to the validity of any Patents that may
be granted with respect to the Applications.

         B. Licensee  hereby  represents and warrants that it shall use its best
commercial  efforts  to market  the  Licensed  Products  and that their sale and
marketing  shall be in  conformance  with all applicable  laws and  regulations,
including but not limited to all intellectual property laws.

         C. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE A REPRESENTATION  OR
WARRANTY BY LICENSOR OF THE ACCURACY,  SAFETY,  OR USEFULNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE OF
ANY TECHNICAL INFORMATION,  TECHNIQUES,  OR PRACTICES AT ANY TIME MADE AVAILABLE
BY  LICENSOR.  LICENSOR  SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY  WHATSOEVER  TO LICENSEE OR ANY
OTHER PERSON FOR OR ON ACCOUNT OF ANY INJURY,  LOSS,  OR DAMAGE,  OF ANY KIND OR
NATURE,  SUSTAINED BY, OR ANY DAMAGE ASSESSED OR ASSERTED AGAINST,  OR ANY OTHER
LIABILITY INCURRED BY OR IMPOSED ON LICENSEE OR ANY OTHER PERSON, ARISING OUT OF
OR IN CONNECTION WITH OR RESULTING FROM (1) THE PRODUCTION,  USE, OR SALE OF ANY
LICENSED  PRODUCT;  (2) THE USE OF ANY  TECHNICAL  INFORMATION,  TECHNIQUES,  OR
PRACTICES  DISCLOSED BY LICENSOR;  OR (3) ANY  ADVERTISING OR OTHER  PROMOTIONAL
ACTIVITIES  WITH  RESPECT  TO ANY OF THE  FOREGOING,  AND  LICENSEE  SHALL  HOLD
LICENSOR,  AND ITS  OFFICERS,  EMPLOYEES,  AND  AGENTS,  HARMLESS  IN THE  EVENT
LICENSOR, OR ITS OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, OR AGENTS, IS HELD LIABLE.

                                   ARTICLE VI.
                                 INDEMNIFICATION

         A. Licensor shall  indemnify  Licensee and hold Licensee  harmless from
any damages and  liabilities  (including  reasonable  attorneys' fees and costs)
arising from any breach of any  agreement,  representation  or warranty  made by
Licensor herein.  Licensor's maximum liability to Licensee under this Agreement,
regardless  on what basis  liability is  asserted,  shall in no event exceed the
total amount paid to Licensor under this Agreement. Licensor shall not be liable
to Licensee for any incidental, consequential, punitive or special damages.

         B. Licensee shall  indemnify  Licensor and hold Licensor  harmless from
any damages and liabilities (including reasonable attorneys' fees and costs) (1)
arising from any breach of any  agreement,  representation  or warranty  made by
Licensee herein, (2) arising out of the manufacture, sale or use of the Licensed
Products,  except to the extent that such manufacture,  sale or use results in a
claim for  infringement,  and Licensor knew or should have known that Licensee's
manufacture,  sale  or  use  of  the  Licensed  Products  would  result  in  the
infringement  of the rights of another  person,  (3)  arising out of any alleged
defects or failures to perform of the Licensed Products or any product liability
claims  or use of the  Licensed  Products,  and (4) any  claims  arising  out of
advertising, distribution or marketing of the Licensed Products.

                                  ARTICLE VII.
                   INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS AND PROTECTION

         A. Licensor may, but is not obligated to, continue to prosecute, in its
own name  and at its own  expense,  the  Applications  in an  effort  to  obtain
Patents.  Licensor  grants to Licensee the right,  if Licensor ever abandons the
prosecution of the  Applications  in an effort to obtain  Patents,  to apply for
patents on the Licensed Products provided that such patents shall be applied for
in the name of Licensor and licensed to Licensee  during the License  Period and
according to the terms,  provisions and conditions of this  Agreement.  Licensee
shall have the right to deduct its  reasonable  out-of-pocket  expenses  for the
preparation,  filing and prosecution of any such patent  application  (but in no
event  more than  $5,000)  from  future  royalties  due to  Licensor  under this
Agreement.  Licensee  shall  obtain  Licensor's  prior  written  consent  before
incurring expenses for any foreign patent application.

         B.  Improvements in the Licensed  Products (an  "Improvement")  made by
Licensee shall be the exclusive property of Licensee.  Licensee hereby grants to
Licensor,  upon the  termination  of this  Agreement in accordance  with ARTICLE
VIII, a  worldwide,  royalty-free,  perpetual  license  under all  Improvements,
together  with the  right to  sublicense  others.  Licensor's  license  shall be
exclusive.  In the event Licensee does not wish to seek governmental  protection
of any  Improvement,  it shall so notify Licensor prior to any public  divulging
thereof and upon the request of Licensor,  execute and procure the  execution of
any and all applications and papers necessary or desirable to enable Licensor to
seek governmental  protection and whatever  assignments or transfer  instruments
are necessary or required to  effectuate  ownership of the rights in Licensor in
any and all  countries  of the world  which  Licensor  may  elect.  Any  expense
incurred in the prosecution of such governmental protection by Licensor shall be
borne by Licensor.

         C. In the event that either party learns of imitations or infringements
of the  Licensed  Products,  that party shall notify the other in writing of the
infringements or imitations.  Licensor shall have the right to commence lawsuits
against third persons  arising from  infringement of Licensed  Products.  In the
event that  Licensor  does not commence a lawsuit  against an alleged  infringer
within 60 days of  notification  by  Licensee,  Licensee  may commence a lawsuit
against the third  party.  Before the filing  suit,  Licensee  shall  obtain the
written consent of Licensor to do so, and such consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld. Licensor shall cooperate fully and in good faith with Licensee for the
purpose of securing and preserving  Licensee's  rights to the  Applications  and
Patents. Any recovery (including,  but not limited to a judgment,  settlement or
licensing agreement included as resolution of an infringement  dispute) shall be
divided  equally  between the parties after  deduction and payment of reasonable
attorneys' fees to the party bringing the lawsuit.

         D.  During the  License  Period,  Licensee  shall  bring to  Licensor's
attention any prior art or other  information known to Licensee that is relevant
to the Licensed Products, the Applications or the Patents and that might cause a
court to deem any of the Applications or Patents wholly or partly inoperative or
invalid. Licensee shall particularly specify such prior art or other information
to  Licensor  at the time it learns  thereof  and not less than ninety (90) days
prior to bringing any action against Licensor asserting the invalidity of any of
the Applications or Patents.

                                  ARTICLE VIII.
                         LICENSE PERIOD AND TERMINATION

         A. The term of this  Agreement  (the "License  Period")  shall commence
upon the Effective Date and shall expire  simultaneously  with the expiration of
the longest-living Patent or last-remaining Application (whichever occurs last),
unless sooner terminated pursuant to a provision of this Agreement.

         B.  Licensee may terminate  this  Agreement at any time upon sixty (60)
 days' prior written notice to Licensor.

         C. If either party shall be in default of any obligation hereunder,  or
shall have filed a petition  of  bankruptcy  or  reorganization,  have had filed
against it an involuntary  proceeding,  be adjudged bankrupt,  become insolvent,
have made an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or have been placed in the
hands of a receiver,  trustee in bankruptcy,  receiver or liquidator,  the other
party may  terminate  this  Agreement by giving  sixty (60) days' prior  written
notice to the other party, specifying the basis for termination. If within sixty
(60) days after the receipt of such notice,  the party who received notice shall
remedy the condition forming the basis for termination,  such notice shall cease
to be operative, and this Agreement shall continue in full force.

         D. Licensor may terminate this  Agreement,  by giving written notice to
Licensee,  at any time  within  sixty (60) days after  November  1, 2001,  if by
November 1, 2001  Licensee has failed to commence the sale of Licensed  Products
in commercially reasonable quantities.

         E. After the  termination  of this  Agreement,  all  rights  granted to
Licensee  under this  Agreement  shall  terminate  and revert to  Licensor,  and
Licensee shall refrain from further manufacturing,  marketing,  distribution, or
use of any Licensed  Product,  except as otherwise  expressly  permitted herein.
Notwithstanding  the  preceding,  Licensee  may  dispose  of  Licensed  Products
(completed  by the date of  termination  or  expiration)  for a period  of three
months after termination or expiration,  provided that Licensee continues to pay
timely  the  royalty  provided  for in  ARTICLE  II hereof for each of the three
months in which sales continue.

         F. The  obligations  under the following  provisions of this  Agreement
shall survive any termination of this Agreement:

         (1)      the  royalty  provisions  of ARTICLE  II, to the  extent  that
                  Licensee  elects to continue  sales of Licensed  Products  for
                  three  months after  termination  in  accordance  with ARTICLE
                  VIII, Section E above;

         (2)      the confidentiality and related provisions of ARTICLE IV;

         (3)      the indemnification provisions of ARTICLE VI;

         (4)      the miscellaneous provisions of ARTICLE IX; and

         (5)      all disclaimers made herein.

                                   ARTICLE IX.
                                  MISCELLANEOUS

         A. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE INTERPRETED AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH
AND SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF FLORIDA.

         B. The parties consent to the exclusive  jurisdiction  and venue of the
federal and state courts  located in Dade County,  Florida in any action arising
out of or relating to this Agreement. The parties waive any other venue to which
either party might be entitled by domicile or otherwise.

         C. This  Agreement  represents  the entire  understanding  between  the
parties,  and supersedes all other agreements,  express or implied,  between the
parties  concerning the Applications and Patents.  A provision of this Agreement
may be altered only by a writing signed by both parties.

         D. The  parties  agree that if any part,  term,  or  provision  of this
Agreement shall be found illegal or in conflict with any valid  controlling law,
the validity of the remaining  provisions shall not be affected thereby.  In the
event the legality of any  provision of this  Agreement is brought into question
because of a decision  by a court of  competent  jurisdiction  of any country in
which this  Agreement  applies,  Licensor,  by written  notice to Licensee,  may
revise the  provision in question or may delete it entirely so as to comply with
the decision of said court.

         E. The waiver of a breach  hereunder  may be effected only by a writing
signed by the  waiving  party and  shall  not  constitute  a waiver of any other
breach.

         F. Nothing  contained in this Agreement shall be construed to place the
parties in the relationship of agent, employee, franchisee, officer, partners or
joint  ventures.  Neither party may create or assume any obligation on behalf of
the other..

         G. Any  notices,  requests,  demands,  or other  communications  herein
required or  permitted  to be given  shall be in writing  and may be  personally

that the fax was properly received,  or if e-mailed,  when the person giving the
notice receives a confirmation  statement with all relevant  details  indicating
that the e-mail  was  properly  received.  As used in this  Agreement,  the term
"business day" means days other than Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays recognized
by Federal banks. For purposes of this Agreement,  the physical  addresses,  fax
