7. ROYALTY PAYMENTS

         7.01.  Royalties  earned  hereunder will be accrued  semi-annually  and
paid, less all advances,  taxes,  and any other charges,  within sixty (60) days
following  each  June 30th and  December  31st for the  preceding  six (6) month
period, in accordance with Parallax's  regular  accounting  practices.  Parallax
shall,  however, have the right to establish reasonable reserves for returns and
exchanges,  said  reserves  not to exceed  thirty  percent  (30%).  Each reserve
established   hereunder  shall  be  liquidated  at  the  end  of  the  following
semi-annual  period.  If Parallax makes any  overpayment of royalties  (e.g., by
reason of an accounting  error or paying  royalties on Records  returned later),
Parallax shall have the right to offset such overpayment  against any subsequent
payment due to Artist from Parallax.

         7.02.  Each  royalty  payment  hereunder  shall  be  accompanied  by  a
statement in accordance  with  Parallax's  regular  accounting  practices.  Each
statement  shall become  binding  upon Artist and Artist shall  neither have nor

this  Agreement  for any reason  because of a claimed  breach by Parallax of its
material obligations hereunder, unless Parallax has failed to remedy such breach

not have the right to sue Parallax in connection with any royalty accounting, or
sue  Parallax  for  royalties  accrued  by Artist  during  the  period a royalty
accounting  covers,  unless Artist commences the suit within two (2) years after
the date when the  statement  in  question  is  rendered  to  Artist.  If Artist
commences  suit on any  controversy  or  claim  concerning  royalty  accountings
rendered to Artist under this  Agreement,  the scope of the  proceeding  will be
limited to the  determination  of the amount of royalties due for the accounting
periods  covered  and  reasonable  attorney  fees,  and the  court  will have no
authority to consider any other  issues or award any relief  except  recovery of
any  royalties  found  owing.  Artist's  recovery  of  any  such  royalties  and
attorney's  fees  will be the sole  remedy  available  to  Artist  by  reason of
Parallax's royalty accountings. Without limiting the generality of the preceding
sentence,  Artist will not have any right to seek  termination of this Agreement
or avoid the  performance  of their  obligations  under it by reason of any such
claim.

Parallax's  statements  to Artist.  If Artist  wishes to perform any such audit,
Artist will be required to notify  Parallax at least thirty (30) days before the
date when Artist plans to begin the audit plans to begin the audit.  If Artist's
audit has not been  completed  within one (1) month from the time Artist  begins
it,  Parallax  may require  Artist to  terminate  it on seven (7) days notice to
Artist and  Parallax  will not be  required  to permit  Artist to  continue  the
examination  after the end of that  seven (7) day  period.  Artist  shall not be
entitled to examine any manufacturing  records or any other records which do not
specifically  report  sales of Records or  calculation  of net receipts on which
royalties  are  accruable  hereunder.  All audits  shall be made during  regular
business  hours,  and shall be  conducted on Artist's  behalf by an  independent
Certified Public  Accountant.  Each  examination  shall be made at Artist's sole
expense at Parallax's regular place of business in the United States,  where the

         9.01.  Artist shall perform under the  professional  name,  Novachrome.
Artist  warrants  and  represents  that it is the  sole  owner  of such  name in
connection with Phonograph Records during the term hereof.  Artist shall not use
a  different  name in  connection  with  Phonograph  Records  unless  Artist and
Parallax  mutually  agree in writing.  Artist  agrees that  Parallax may cause a
search to be instituted for the purpose of determining  whether any professional
name used by Artist has been or is being used by  another  person in  connection
with Phonograph Records.  Parallax may cause a federal application for trademark
protection  to  be  made  in  favor  of  Artist  for  Phonograph  Record  and/or
entertainment  purposes.  Any amounts up to One Thousand  Seven Hundred  Dollars
($1,700.00)  expended by Parallax  pursuant  to this  Paragraph  shall be deemed
Advances hereunder.  If the trademark search indicates that such name should not
be used,  Parallax and Artist  shall  mutually  agree on a  substitute  name for
Artist.  Nothing contained herein shall release Artist from its  indemnification
of Parallax with respect to Artist's use of such name.
