Special Conditions- Addresses                    
The general conditions of the lease-maintenance contract are modified as 
follows:
Contractual duration for 36 months for rental maintenance
Maintenance:
As an exception, Bull agrees that, in the case of annual revision in accord 
of protocol with the outline agreement for maintenance between Twinsys-
Dataguard and Bull (maturity 7/31), the new conditions of protocol are applied
retroactively towards the maintenance of equipment objects of the 36 month 
rental contract.

If a system is not able to be maintained under the assembled outline, Twinsys-
Dataguard under the first special condition, in actuality, against protocol, 
be maintained by Bull, so that the special condition of the offered contract 
will be under Bull's maintenance.

Conditions of Payment  
-The first nine monthly fees of the rental/maintenance agreement are increased
 each   (See document) 336 143 FHT. The 27 following monthly fees are raised 
 each 336 143.
-Payment to be made before the 10th of each month by an automatic withdrawal.
-Twinsys-Dataguard engages in paying Bull a guaranteed deposit, signing the
 present contract a sum to be forfeited equivalent to three months rent of 
 the rental mentioned in the agreement. Each sum will be considered definitive
 agreement that Bull, in the case of non-payment by Twinsys-Dataguard of fees
 due in the execution of the maintenance contract in the event of sums to be 
 paid.

Termination of the Contract      
Bull may, at liberty, end all or part of the rental-maintenance contract and 
other rights falling under the product and otherwise report to a financial
organization who will be notified as regards the client of the condition of 
the financial agreement.

The client accepts the present expression and without reservation the eventual
closure below and the resulting release of Bull. The client pays Bull in 
advance by formal completion according to article 1690 of the Civil Code and
recognizes that by the end of the lease he will be fully opposable by the
completion of the following formalities, at Bull's choice:
-Signing an agreement electing to end the agreement, or
-Simple notification of termination made by letter to recommend by demand 
 notice of receipt. 
The client engages in signing if needed, at the request of Bull or the 
financial administrator, all other documents necessary for legal regulations 
and administrative operation. The client agrees equally, that he will have
knowledge of the termination of the lease by one of the methods below: to 
settle, with the financial administrator, all sums due in pursuance of the 
rental agreement without bringing about compensation and any deductions 
whatever.

Special Conditions/Addressments                       
It is understood between the parties that Bull, may, after the termination of 
the present contract, intervene by agent for the execution and collection of
rentals due by right under the present lease agreement.

In the event of a termination brought about by the conditions below, and 
estimated accounts called by the judgement of the financial officer, it will 
not be necessary to have interdependence or indivisibility between the rental
agreement and other contracts signed by the client with other suppliers. As a
result the client renounces all recourse against the financial agency and will
invest profitably the rights directly close to the suppliers in case of 
litigation affecting these contracts and namely, the guarantee, the 
maintenance of equipment, and/or the support of the software.

Modification of the Rental Agreement  
At all times, Twinsys-Dataguard may demand from Bull a statement of sale and
maintenance of equipment under contract at the location for 36 months,
for as much as Bull has custody/guardianship under the rental agreement.
