limitations described below:

     (i)   If this Agreement is terminated by either party with or without cause
     prior to its expiration then Customer shall promptly pay to Supplier, in
     addition to any other amounts due and payable under this Agreement, a pro-

agreement or covenant hereunder.   Any such expiration or termination shall not
be deemed to be a waiver of any available remedy for any such breach,
misrepresentation or failure to comply with any agreement or covenant.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, both parties shall be and remain liable to pay to
the other any and all sums then due and payable hereunder.

II.  Financial Terms And Conditions

a)   Supplier shall have the discretion to determine whether a Machine, once

that Location.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, if Supplier determines
that one or more Machines are not sufficiently profitable, the Machine or
Machines shall be removed from the Location by Supplier, at no cost or penalty
to Customer, and this Agreement will automatically terminate with respect to
that Location only.  In the event Supplier removes a Machine or all Machines
from a Location, Customer is free, at its sole option and discretion, to enter
into an agreement with another supplier to provide similar equipment to the
Location from which Supplier's Machine(s) were removed.

b)   Supplier and Customer will mutually agree upon the sales price for water
sold through the out-door Machines at all Locations with regard to the area and

     (i)  Upon signing of this Agreement, Supplier shall pay to Customer by
     check or wire transfer an amount equal to [ * ] for the right to place
     Machines at all Locations except those noted in Section VII.k) below;

     (ii)  As indicated below, Supplier shall pay to Customer, by check or wire
     transfer, additional Pre-paid Marketing Funds in the amount of [ * ] for
     the placement of Machines at the Locations as follows:

             A)   [*] to be paid by February 15, 2000, or upon the successful
             installation or the agreed upon installation of in-door, non-coin
             operated Machines in at least 100 Jewel Locations; and

             B)   [*] to be paid by February 15, 2000, or upon the successful
             installation or the agreed upon installation of in-door, non-coin
             operated Machines in at least 100 Acme Locations.

d)   Customer will earn a commission of [ * ] percent [ * ] of the gross sales

gallons of water through all Machines at each Location combined per day per
month.  The average sales shall be calculated on a monthly basis.  The
commission percentage shall be calculated separately for each Location based on
the joint performance of all Machines at that Location.   An example of the

basis is as follows:

       Non-coin Revenue                        [*]
       Less ADJ. (defined in V.(b)below)       [*] (per Machine per month)

       Commission Rate:                        [*]
                                               ---

Off-Set non-coin of [*] against coin-op of [*] for a total due from Customer
of [*] payable to Supplier.

e)   Supplier shall service and maintain all Machines at every Location on a

f)   Supplier shall forward to Customer a detailed accounting in an "Excel"
spreadsheet format in substantially the same form as noted on Exhibit "B",

Machines; and 2) the amount due from Customer for the total gallons sold per in-
door Machines based on the applicable commission rate per Location multiplied by
the rate stated in Section II.d) above ("Accounting").  Each Accounting shall
also detail, by Location, all sales taxes chargeable to Customer for which
Supplier deducts amounts from the coin-in-box for all outdoor Coin-operated
Machines and the sales tax rate utilized.  The Accounting shall accompany each
monthly invoice (combined for all Locations) and shall be mailed to the
appropriate party as noted in Section VII.e) below.  All sums due Customer or
Supplier hereunder will be paid net 30 days upon the paying party's receipt of
invoice.

parameters of, and start and stop dates of, any given promotion, Customer agrees
to honor manufacturer's coupons or other giveaways specifically authorized by
Supplier and approved by Customer.  Customer agrees to redeem manufactures'

Albertson's, entered to similar type agreements with Supplier prior to the
merger of American Stores Company and Albertson's, Inc.  In an effort to make
Supplier whole for consenting to the early termination of prior agreements,
Customer agrees to pay to Supplier an amount estimated to be [ * ] as payment in
full of all Customer's obligations thereunder; provided, however, that such
amount Customer may owe Supplier under this Section will be subject to off-set

any "ADJ" fee incorrectly charged to Customer under any prior agreements, as
disclosed in a formal audit.  Upon completion of the audit and the issuing of
any payments under this Section, any and all liabilities and obligations

occurrence of any Force Majeure that prevents Supplier from supplying services
or Machines under the terms hereof, Customer shall have the right to obtain its
requirements from any available alternate source until such time as Supplier is
again able to service Customer in accordance with the terms hereof. If Supplier
is unable to deliver or service Machines ordered by Customer for at least thirty
(30) consecutive days due to Force Majeure, Customer may terminate its
obligations under this Agreement respective to the Locations affected by
delivery to Supplier of written notice to such affect accompanied by a payment
to Supplier of the amounts determined to be due under Section I.d). If Customer
is unable to perform its obligations under this Agreement (excluding failure to
pay amounts when due) for at least thirty (30) consecutive days due to Force
Majeure, Supplier may terminate its obligations under this Agreement respective
to the Locations affected by delivery to Customer of written notice to such
affect. Upon receipt of such notice, Customer shall make repayment of pro-rata
funds as due under Section I.d). In the event of any such termination of
obligations hereunder, neither party shall be liable for any damages to the
other party resulting from such non-delivery or termination; provided, however,
that Sections III.c), VI, and VII.c), VII.d) and VII.j) through VII.s) shall
survive such termination.

r)   This Agreement shall inure to and bind the successors, heirs and assigns of
the parties hereto; provided, however, that no assignment hereof by either party
shall be effective without the prior written consent of the other party.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be assigned by either party to
any of its affiliate or wholly-owned subsidiary.

s)   This Agreement, including all Exhibits, constitutes the entire agreement
between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes
all prior oral and written, and all contemporaneous oral negotiations,
understandings and agreements. This Agreement is intended by the parties to
supercede any and all existing agreements between the parties for Customer and
any of Customer's affiliates and wholly owned subsidiaries in existence as of
the date hereof and, except as otherwise noted herein, upon execution of this
Agreement, no outstanding liabilities remain under any previous agreements.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be
duly executed on the date first above written.
