     This Agreement, entered into on the date designated below, is between
BioLynx.Com, Inc. (hereinafter referred to as BioLynx), a Texas corporation,
with its principal place of business located at 5617 Grissom Road, San Antonio,

Representative), a Utah corporation, with its principal place of business
located at 1415 South Main Street, Salt Lake City, Utah 84115. BioLynx and
Representative are collectively referred to as "Parties".

     WHEREAS, BioLynx is the owner of and has the right to distribute certain
"hardware"; has proprietary rights to certain "software"; and agrees to supply
the "services" necessary to provide a time, attendance and data integrated
payroll system. The "hardware" and "software" are collectively referred to as
"products"; and,

     WHEREAS, Representative desires to market the products and services of
BioLynx under the terms and conditions hereof.

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and promises
herein contained the parties agree as follows:

     1. Appointment - BioLynx hereby appoints Representative as an authorized
distributor of its products and services. The Representative may solicit Service
Agreements anywhere within the United States, but without any exclusive right in
any territory; provided that BioLynx agrees that, except in the state of Texas,
no staffing industry firm other than Representative shall be engaged as an
authorized distributor of its products and services during the term of this
Agreement or any extension thereof. Representative may, with the consent of
BioLynx, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, subcontract to other
staffing industry firms the distribution of BioLynx's products and services.

     2. Designated Customers - In consideration of Representative efforts to
market BioLynx's products and services, BioLynx agrees that, upon written
notice, the Representative will have the exclusive right to sell the products
and services to a designated customer for a period of ninety (90) days from the
date of notification.

     3. Term of Appointment - This appointment shall commence on the date of
this agreement and remain in full force and effect for a period of three (3)
years from date hereof, but is subject to the following:

         a. This appointment shall automatically renew at the expiration of the
     original term unless earlier terminated.

         b. If either party shall cease to function as a going concern, or a
     receiver is appointed or applied for, or a petition under the federal
     bankruptcy code is filed by or against it, or it makes an assignment for
     the benefit of creditors, the non-defaulting party may upon two days
     written notice terminate this agreement, but such termination shall be
     without prejudice to the rights of the parties with respect to products
     already sold and delivered.

         c. In the event of the termination of this agreement, BioLynx agrees
     that the fees payable to Representative shall continue for a period of one
     (1) year from the date of termination.

     4. Duties of Representative - Upon acceptance of this appointment,
Representative agrees as follows:

         a. To use its best efforts to obtain Service Agreements for the

     business of BioLynx and all installations and services shall be performed
     by BioLynx personnel.

         b. To attend an orientation and training seminar at BioLynx's home
     office in San Antonio, Texas. All expenses of attending the seminar will be
     the responsibility of the Representative.

         c. To be responsible for billing and collecting the Service Fee from
     its customers. The minimum Service Fee for each unit shall be the greater
     of $125.00 per week or $5.00 per employee utilizing the unit per week (the
     "Minimum Service Fee").

         d. To promptly pay BioLynx its invoice for services. Until such time
     that the Representative has obtained service contracts for the placement of
     100 units, Representative will be billed an amount equal to seventy percent
     (70%) of the Minimum Service Fee for the units actually placed based on the
     terms of the Service Agreements for the units. Thereafter, if
     Representative has obtained service contracts for the placement of 100
     units, Representative will be billed an amount equal to sixty percent (60%)
     of the Minimum Service Fee for the units placed based on the terms of the
     Service Agreements for the units. If Representative places units at a price
     above the Minimum Service Fee, Representative shall be entitled to the
     entire amount of such excess.

     5. Duties of BioLynx - In consideration of Representative's undertakings,
BioLynx agrees as follows:

         a. To coordinate completion of all installations.

     provide the required services and products under the Service Agreement.

         d. To provide customer support services at the levels specified in the

     become necessary.

     "demo" units may be obtained at a cost of $1,000.00 per unit.

     6. Pricing of Services - In marketing the products and services,
Representative agrees that the minimum fees charged for the products and
services must be approved by BioLynx, in writing, prior to the execution of a
Service Agreement with any customers. BioLynx agrees that the Service Agreements
obtained by Representative may provide, at Representative's discretion, that the
Service Fees may be tied to the customer's use of Representative's staffing
services and could increase if the customer ceased the use of Representative's
staffing services.

     7. Representations and Warranties - BioLynx represents and warrants to
Representative that all software used in or in connection with the products and
services which are the subject of this Agreement shall be an original work of

BioLynx represents and warrants to Representative that no technology use in or
in connection with the services or products will violate any copyright, trade
secret, trade dress, trademark or patent of any third party.
