production difficulty in Supplier's plants or those of its suppliers, or to any
cause beyond Supplier's control or occurring without Supplier's fault or
negligence.

                                  SECTION SEVEN

Distributor for any damages, delays, or losses arising as a result of the
transportation or shipment of the Products or Supplier's arrangements for such
transportation and shipment.

time. In such a case, Distributor shall be responsible for any costs or expenses
incurred by Supplier associated with, related to or arising from Supplier's

         D. At Distributor's prior written request, Supplier, at its sole
discretion, may arrange for shipment of the Products to such other locations as

written notice advising Supplier of the nature of the non-conformity.

         If Distributor does not provide Supplier with such written notice
within forty-eight (48) hours of Distributor's receipt of the Product(s), the
Product(s) shall be deemed to be conforming and accepted by Distributor. If

non-conforming Products to Supplier. Supplier shall be responsible for the costs
and expenses associated with the shipment of the replacement conforming Products
to Distributor and the return of the non-conforming Products to Supplier. If
Supplier elects to provide a credit to Distributor, Distributor will not be
entitled to such credit until Supplier receives and accepts redelivery of the

incidental, consequential, or special damages arising from the performance or
failure to perform under this Agreement.

Products are altered or modified by Distributor or the user of the Products

existing that extend to the Products shall be deemed immediately terminated,
notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary in this Agreement or any
modification or amendment thereto.

         D. If Supplier elects to extend any warranties to its sale of the
Products, Distributor's exclusive remedy for Supplier's breach of such warranty,
if any, will be the enforcement of Supplier's obligations under such warranty.

on behalf of Supplier, any other or additional warranty obligation or liability

                           CONFORMITY WITH LOCAL LAWS

         Supplier represents and warrants that, to the best of its knowledge and
belief, the purchase of the Products by Distributor and Distributor's subsequent
sales of those Products to its customers, as contemplated in this Agreement,
does not violate any Federal, state or local law of the United States of
America. Distributor, in turn, represents and warrants that, to the best of its
knowledge and belief, the purchase of the Products by Distributor and
Distributor's subsequent sales of those Products to its customers, as
contemplated in this Agreement, does not violate any laws in the Territory. The
parties agree to endeavor to comply with all federal, state, local or foreign
laws that regulate, apply to, or otherwise govern the purchase, sale, and
shipment of the Products, as contemplated in this Agreement. Moreover, each
party further warrants and represents to the other party that, to the best of
its knowledge and belief, its entry into and performance under this Agreement
does not violate and is not prohibited by any agreements between that party and
any other person or entity.

                                SECTION SEVENTEEN
                          INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS

         A. Distributor accepts and admits that it does not receive any right,
title or interest in or to any Intellectual Property belonging to Supplier as a
result of this Agreement, other than such limited license as may be necessary to
advertise and resell the Products. Supplier has the right to review and approve,
at its discretion, any use of the Intellectual Property. Supplier has the right
to prohibit the use of the Intellectual Property and revoke any limited license
for use of the Intellectual Property in any manner and at any time. Such limited
license automatically is revoked and cancelled upon the termination of this
Agreement by either party or upon any expiration or cancellation of the
Agreement.

         B. Distributor immediately will report, in writing, to Supplier any
acts of infringement of Supplier's Intellectual Property of which it learns
whether such an act of infringement occurs in the Territory or outside of it.
Supplier will have the sole right to decide if and when it will prosecute
infringers of its Intellectual Property rights. Upon the written demand of
Supplier, Distributor, immediately and without condition, and regardless of the
economic burden involved, will cease using Supplier's Intellectual Property at
any time that this Agreement is in dispute, Distributor is in arbitration or
litigation with Supplier, or Supplier may demand.

         C. Distributor's acknowledges and agrees that Supplier's Intellectual
Property rights are valuable and unique in nature and that it is difficult to
determine or ascertain the damages to Supplier flowing from a violation or
unauthorized use of Supplier's Intellectual Property rights. Accordingly,
Distributor agrees that Supplier has no adequate remedy at law for any violation
of its Intellectual Property rights and that Supplier will suffer irreparable
harm if its Intellectual Property rights are violated. As such, and irrespective
of any arbitration provisions contained in this Agreement, Supplier may seek
injunctive relief in a court of law to prevent any violation or unauthorized use
of its Intellectual Property rights. Moreover, Distributor agrees that, in any
such action, Supplier need not and will not be required to post a bond or other
surety in order to

obtain an injunction to prevent Distributor's use of the Intellectual Property,
either during the pendency of any arbitration or litigation with Supplier or
otherwise.

         Neither party to this Agreement shall be liable for any actions or
omissions arising out of, or resulting from, any failure to perform in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement where such failure was beyond the
reasonable control of such party, which, as employed in this Agreement, shall
mean acts of God, strikes, lockouts or other industrial disturbances, wars,
whether declared or undeclared, blockades, insurrections, riots, governmental
action, explosions, fire, floods, or any other cause not within the reasonable
control of either party. Should the act or omission of one party, as
contemplated by this Section, continue for a period of thirty (30) days or more,
the Agreement may be terminated by the other party.

                                SECTION NINETEEN
                                   ASSIGNMENT

authorization, which Supplier may provide or withhold at its sole discretion.

         B. Supplier may approve the appointment by Distributor of a
sub-distributor in the Territory for the purpose of selling, distributing, and
servicing the Products. Distributor agrees to advise Supplier in writing of the
names and addresses of any proposed sub-distributor. The appointment of any
sub-distributor shall be subject to the approval of Supplier.

         C. Distributor shall be responsible to assure that any sub-distributor
complies with all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement and shall be
responsible for any non-compliance by any of its sub-distributors with the terms
