COOPERATION AGREEMENT

     This COOPERATION AGREEMENT (hereinafter the "Agreement") is entered into on
this 6th day of  February  2001,  by and between  Medis  Technologies,  Ltd.,  a
company located in New York, Now York, USA,  (hereinafter  "Medis"),  of the one
part,  and SAGEM SA,  Defence and  Security  Division,  a Company  existing  and
organized under the laws of France,  whose registered office is 6, avenue d'lena
75783  PARIS  Cedex  16,  France,   hereinafter   referred  to  as  "SAGEM  SA,"
(hereinafter "SAGEM SA"), of the other part.

     WHEREAS, SAGEM SA is an international  industrial company, and, inter alia,
makes various consumer  electronics,  including in particular,  cellular phones,
handheld and manportable electronic devices called hereafter "application".

     WHEREAS,  Medis'  lower  tier  subsidiary,  More  Energy  Ltd.,  of Israel,
("More")  has  developed  certain  unique   proprietary   technologies  for  the
development of fuel cells,  in particular in the area of direct liquid  methanol
fuel cells,  and Medis is interested in arranging for the  collaborating by More
with OEM companies in the  development of specific  applications  for More's DLM
fuel cell technologies;

     WHEREAS,  SAGEM SA is  interested  in a DLM fuel cell  application  for its
power pack and other potential  applications and desires to cooperate with Medis
and More in that  effort  and  Medis  agrees  to cause  More to  carry-out  such
cooperation, all on the terms hereinafter set forth.

     NOW Therefore the Parties agree as follows:

1.   BASIC NATURE OF COOPERATION

     1.1.  The Parties  agree that their  cooperation  hereunder is motivated by
their mutual  interest to realize a DLM fuel cell power pack which will serve as
a secondary power source for SAGEM SA's application,  and effort will be carried
out on a best efforts basis.  Each Party will be responsible  for all of its own
expenses connected with the implementation of this cooperation and neither Party
will have any  liability  to the other  regarding  the success of this effort or
otherwise. In addition neither Party is undertaking to work exclusively with the
other in the area of fuel cell or battery  technologies  and they both retain to
themselves the right to work alone or with others  regarding such  technologies,
provided however this in no way derogates from the Parties obligations under the
provisions of Section 4 ("Confidential Information").

     1.2. It is further  understood  that More will be  developing an individual
fuel cell  which  will then be  incorporated  in a larger  assembly  which  will
constitute a power pack secondary  power source and that this  application  will
require  a  number  of  such   individual   fuel  cells.   The  integration  and
qualification  of the power pack shall be managed by a joining team  composed by
representatives  of SAGEM  SA and More  able to take  decisions  concerning  the
contents  of the  test  plan  and the  location  where  the  test  plan  will be
performed.

     1.3. Should the development effort by More to develop a DLM fuel cell power
pack as a secondary  power source for the SAGEM SA application  be  successfully
achieved  hereunder,  the Parties may negotiate a further  agreement under which
SAGEM SA could  purchase  DLM fuel cell power  packs from More or be licensed by
More to manufacture same for the sole use with the SAGEM SA application  against
which it was  developed.  Should  either  Party  not wish to enter  into  such a
further agreement or fail to agree on the terms thereof, neither Party will have
any  liability  to the other  and their  cooperation  will end  pursuant  to the
termination provisions of this Agreement.

2.   EVALUATION OF INDIVIDUAL CELL

     The Parties will each  designate a senior  engineer as the Project  manager
for the  respective  Party and those two  individuals  will be authorized by the
Parties to make all  necessary  technical  decisions in  implementation  of this
agreement for their respective company.

     SAGEM SA shall  provide to More a test plan  concerning  the  evaluation of
state of the art individual fuel cell with the purpose to better  understand the
More current  technology and to anticipate the key issues for the integration of
such devices in a portable equipment. This test plan will be carried out by More
under the SAGEM SA supervision.

3.   DESIGN OF A POWER PACK PROTOTYPE

     With  better  knowledge  of system  considerations,  outputs of ss. 2, this
phase will  address the  manufacturing  process and cost for a future power pack
dedicated to SAGEM SA application.  SAGEM SA dealing with high technologies with
a large engineering  expertise agrees to undertake some engineering work jointly
with More to design a powerpack.

     The outputs of this phase is to design a power pack prototype able to drive
an application, to be manufactured and tested in step ss. 4. For this purpose, a
technical  specification  will be raised by SAGEM SA, taking into account system
considerations and the identified physical barriers.

     It is understood  that the individual cell being part of the powerpack will
consider the last technical improvements achieved from the evaluation phase.

4.   DEVELOPMENT, MANUFACTURING & TESTING OF A POWERPACK PROTOTYPE

     More and SAGEM SA undertake the  development  of a DLM powerpack  prototype
following  a design  output  from ss. 3. The  powerpack  casing and  accessories
required for the system  operation will be  manufactured  by SAGEM SA, More will
integrate the  individual  fuel cells.  The powerpack  prototype  will be tested
first by More at More Facility  after final  assembly under a specific test plan
mutually agreed. The optimized prototype will then be tested at SAGEM SA under a
specific  mutually  agreed  test  plan.  The  purpose  of these test plans is to
understand the behavior of the powerpack connected to a representative  load, to
optimize the interface  electronic circuit and to establish the management rules
of the powerpack in the different operational scenario.

     It is understood  that the individual cell being part of the powerpack will
consider the last  technical  improvements  achieved  from the  beginning of the
evaluation phase.

     An  optimization  phase will follow this work so that a definitive  concept
could be selected for the next phase dedicated to a proven powerpack.

5.   DEVELOPMENT, MANUFACTURING AND TESTING OF A PROVEN POWERPACK

     More and SAGEM SA undertake the  development  of a DLM powerpack  following
the optimized  design output from ss. 4. The  powerpack  casing and  accessories
required for the system operation will be designed and manufactured by SAGEM SA,
More  will  integrate  the  optimized  individual  fuel  cells and will test the
complete units under mutually agreed acceptance test procedures.

     It is understood  that the individual cell being part of the powerpack will
consider the last  technical  improvements  achieved  from the  beginning of the
evaluation phase.

     Few units will be manufactured and tested in appropriate  conditions agreed
mutually  by each  party.  The  achievements  of this phase will  condition  the
introduction  of the  demonstrators  at the end user  level for  evaluation  and
promotion.

     It is  understood  by SAGEM SA that  this  effort  is to  achieve  a proven
prototype  of the DLM fuel cell  power pack as a  secondary  power  source.  The
effort  hereunder does not include  production  engineering  for such individual
fuel cell or DLM fuel cell power  pack.  A  production  engineering  effort,  if
desired by SAGEM SA, would require a separate agreement  mutually  acceptable to
the Parties.

6.   PRIMARY POWER SOURCE

     Upon  successful   fulfillment  of  the  effort  hereunder   regarding  the
Powerpack,  the Parties will define a continuing development effort between them
for a primary power source for mutually agreed SAGEM SA applications  based upon
a design and  development  effort  similar  to the one set forth  herein for the
Powerpack.

7.   SCHEDULE

     A development plan is attached to this cooperation  agreement at the end of
the document. This particular plan is dedicated to a cell phone application.
