         Trademarks. Distributor hereby accepts such appointment and expressly
         acknowledges and agrees that, pursuant to this Agreement, Distributor
         shall only have the rights of Distributor expressly granted by the
         Company hereunder. Distributor further agrees that it shall, at all

         merchandising policy designed to promote and maintain the
         excellence of quality and enhance the goodwill which is now

         Products. Distributor acknowledges that, by accepting this
         appointment, it will be subject to all of the terms and conditions
         of this Agreement and to the Company's marketing, sales and
         merchandising policies as they now exist or as they may be altered,
         at the Company's sole discretion, from time to time, provided,
         however, that the Company shall not make any changes that impose a
         material burden on Distributor unless such changes are reasonably
         necessary to comply with any applicable law, regulation or
         governmental order or to improve the prospects of the business.
         Distributor's failure to operate in accordance with such policies
         shall constitute a material breach entitling the Company to
         terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 16 hereof.

2.2      Distributor agrees that (i) it will market, promote and sell the
         Products solely to Resellers, if any, and/or Users within the
         Territory; (ii) whenever Distributor places orders for Products it
         will do so solely under the Company's authorized form of Purchase
         Order, which expressly references and incorporates the terms and
         conditions of this Agreement; and (iii) all such Purchase Orders
         must be issued and signed by Distributor and must be accepted in
         writing signed by the Company. Distributor further agrees that it
         will market, promote, and offer for sale solely those Products the
         Company specifically approves under this Agreement, as such are
         listed in EXHIBIT "B" hereto, or in any amendment that, from time
         to time, the Company makes to it in a writing signed by the
         Company, and that any Purchase Order Distributor submits to the
         Company will list only such approved Products. Distributor shall
         not, without the prior written consent of the Company, sell, market
         or distribute any version of the Products other than the version
         the Company shall designate from time to time as the most current
         version. Distributor shall not sell, advertise or solicit orders
         for the Products outside the Territory and shall promptly relay any
         such inquiries to the Company.

2.3      Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as prohibiting or
         placing any restrictions whatsoever on the Company's right (i) to
         market, promote, distribute, license or sell any Products outside
         the Territory to or for the benefit or use of any person, firm or
         company the Company may select in its sole discretion,
         notwithstanding that any such person, firm or company may intend to
         use or resell the same within the Territory; or (ii) to appoint
         other distributors of the Products outside the Territory that may
         sell Products outside the territory which Products may be resold in
         the Territory. Notwithstanding the foregoing. Notwithstanding the
         foregoing, the Company will instruct its other distributors not to
         export Products to the Territory. If the Company is contacted by
         someone or some entity in or out of the Territory requesting to buy
         Products in the Territory (i.e. shipped to within the Territory),
         then the Company shall refer such person or entity to Distributor.

2.4      In partial consideration of the distribution rights granted by the
         Company to the Distributor hereunder, Distributor shall pay to the
         Company a non-recurring and non-refundable fee in the amount of ONE
         DOLLAR UNITED STATES DOLLARS (U.S.$1.00) (the "Distribution Fee").

         obligations on behalf of the other, nor make any representations or
         warranties about the other. Distributor has no power, express or
         implied, to accept any order on behalf of the Company or to bind

3.3      As an independent contractor, Distributor is free to select its
         sales personnel and establish their compensation, and manage its
         business as it deems appropriate, provided such management is not
         in contravention of any policies prescribed by the Company or in
         contravention of the terms of this Agreement. Distributor may
         appoint sub-distributors within the Territory, provided that
         Distributor informs any such sub-distributor of the applicable
         rules and regulations (both contained herein and any other
         applicable rules and regulations) and Distributor is responsible
         for any breach thereof by any such sub-distributor.

          SECTION 5. GENERAL OBLIGATIONS OF THE COMPANY; WARRANTIES

5.1      The Company agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to
         sell Products to Distributor during the Term of this Agreement, on
         such terms and prices as set forth herein and in EXHIBIT "C",
         attached hereto, but in no event shall the Company be liable to
         Distributor for any loss of profits, loss of business, expenses or
         costs arising from or alleged to arise from any failure to deliver.
         Distributor hereby agrees that the Company shall have the right to
         allocate Products, in its sole discretion and in whatever manner it
         deems to be in its best interest, among its distributors without
         incurring any liability to Distributor.

5.2      The Company warrants that the Products will be free from defects in
         material and workmanship. The Company shall replace or repair, at
         its option, any Products that within thirty (30) days from the Date
         of Delivery are found defective in material or workmanship, upon
         written notification by Distributor identifying each and every
         defect. The Company's obligation with respect to such Products
         shall be limited to repair or replacement, without any further
         expense to the Company. Any alteration, abuse, modification or
         misuse, including, but not limited to, neglect or accidental damage
         or defacement of the Products shall void this limited warranty. THE
         FOREGOING LIMITED WARRANTY IS EXPRESSLY MADE IN LIEU OF ANY AND ALL
         OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT
         LIMITATION, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR
         A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. The foregoing limited warranty shall not be
         enlarged or affected by, and no liability or obligation shall arise
         from, the Company's rendering of technical or other advice, or of
         service, in connection with any of the Products. Employees, agents,
         distributors and sales representatives are not authorized to make
         warranties. Oral or written statements made by them do not
         constitute warranties and shall not be relied on by Distributor.
         REPLACEMENT OR REPAIR OF A DEFECTIVE PRODUCT IS DISTRIBUTOR'S SOLE
         AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FOR CONTRACT, WARRANTY, NEGLIGENCE, TORT OR
         STRICT LIABILITY CLAIMS FOR ANY LOSS, DAMAGE OR EXPENSE ARISING OR
         ALLEGED TO ARISE FROM THE MANUFACTURE, SALE, DELIVERY OR USE OF THE
         PRODUCTS. IN NO EVENT SHALL The Company BE LIABLE FOR LOSS OF USE
         OR PROFITS, LOSS OF BUSINESS, EXPENSES OR COSTS ARISING FROM OR
         ALLEGED TO ARISE FROM BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, ATTORNEYS' EXPENSES OR
         CONSEQUENTIAL, CONTINGENT, INCIDENTAL OR SPECIAL DAMAGES CAUSED OR
         ALLEGED TO BE CAUSED IN WHOLE OR IN PART BY THE NEGLIGENCE, TORT,
         STRICT LIABILITY, BREACH OF CONTRACT, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR OTHER
         BREACH OF DUTY OF OR BY THE COMPANY. Distributor shall obtain
         shipping instructions and a return material authorization from the
         Company for the return of any item under this warranty provision.
         Compliance with such instructions shall be a condition precedent to
         the Company's repair or replacement options hereunder.

5.3      The Company shall make commercially reasonable efforts to provide
         Distributor with the latest Product information and, upon
         Distributor's request, any information concerning the technical

                       SECTION 6. ORDERS FOR PRODUCTS

6.1      Purchase Orders. Purchase Orders shall be in writing and signed by
         ---------------
         an authorized representative of Distributor. Distributor shall
         submit its Purchase Orders for Products to the Company in writing,
         by facsimile, overnight reputable overnight courier or, if agreed
         to by the Company, e-mail. All Purchase Orders shall refer to this
         Agreement, and shall list the Products ordered, quantities,
         applicable prices, scheduled delivery dates, delivery point,
         shipping instructions and any other information deemed necessary by
         the Company. In case of conflicts or inconsistency between the
         terms and conditions of this Agreement and those set forth in any
         Purchase Orders, acceptances, correspondence, and other documents
         forming part of any order during the Term of this Agreement, this
         Agreement shall govern and prevail, and the conflicting or
         inconsistent terms and conditions of any such other documents shall
         be deemed deleted and shall not be binding upon either Party.
         Distributor shall ensure that its Purchase Orders are received by
         the Company at least forty-five (45) days prior to the delivery
         dates requested in the order.

6.2      Acceptance of Orders. All Purchase Orders from Distributor are
         --------------------
         subject to acceptance in writing by the Company, at its offices in
         Palm Beach, FL U.S.A. The Company may expressly accept or reject
         each Purchase Order, or the Company may show its acceptance by
         providing to Distributor the appropriate transaction documents,
         including, but not limited to, invoices (showing item, quantity,
         price, amount due, and other typical invoice information), and
         order acknowledgments (confirming Products and quantities ordered),
         or by sending the Products to Distributor. Each Purchase Order
         shall be deemed to be an offer by Distributor to purchase the
         Products pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and, if accepted
         by the Company shall give rise to a contract on the terms set forth
         herein to the exclusion of any additional or contrary terms set
         forth in the Purchase Order.

         Distributor shall either accept or reject the Products within a
         thirty- (30) day period after the Date of Delivery. Distributor's
         failure to give the Company written notice of rejection within such
         thirty- (30) day period shall be deemed acceptance of the Products
         by Distributor. Distributor shall also be deemed to have accepted
         the Products by signing a transaction document requiring its
         signature, or providing the Products to Resellers, if any, or
         Users, or making any payment, including partial payments, to the
         Company for such Products. Distributor may cancel its Purchase
         Order in writing prior to its acceptance by the Company.

6.3      Delivery, Insurance, Title And Risk Of Loss. The Company will make
         -------------------------------------------
         reasonable efforts to meet Distributor's delivery requirements for
         Products ordered by Distributor in any Purchase Order accepted by
         the Company. The Company will inform Distributor of the estimated
         delivery date and, at Distributor's request, keep it informed of
         its status; provided, however, that in no event shall the Company
         be liable for the consequences of any delays in delivery due.
         Distributor will be responsible for selecting and working with an
         export broker or forwarding agent ("export broker") to handle all
         shipments to the Territory. All delivery of Products to Distributor
         shall be F.O.B. at a mutually agreed port of embarkation (such as
         dockside at a port or airport) in Miami, Florida, U.S.A, and will
         be made

         to Distributor's export broker. Distributor shall be responsible
         for transportation and insurance of the Products after delivery
         to Distributor's export broker. Such insurance shall provide
         full coverage from the time the Products are delivered to
         Distributor's export broker until Distributor shall have paid the
         Company for such Products in full. The Company reserves all rights
         with respect to delivered Products permitted by law, including,
         without limitation, the rights of rescission, repossession, resale,
         and stoppage in transit until the full amount due from Distributor
         in respect of all delivered Products has been paid. Distributor
         shall be responsible for obtaining all consents from any government
         or related authority to export the Products from the country of
         shipment and for importing them into the country of importation.

         construed in accordance with INCOTERMS, 2000 of the International
         Chamber of Commerce.

         The Company bears the risk of loss or of damage to the Products
         until their delivery to Distributor's export broker, as provided in
         the preceding paragraph. Thereafter, Distributor assumes such
         risks. Notwithstanding the foregoing, title to each Product will
         pass to Distributor over international waters, en-route to the port
         of importation in the Territory, as such is specified by
         Distributor in the Purchase Order.

         (b)      Discontinue the manufacture of any Product;

                  or not such product has been announced publicly;
         (d)      Commence the manufacture and sale of new products having
                  features which make any Product wholly or partially
                  obsolete, whether or not Distributor is granted any
                  distribution rights in respect of such new products;
                  and/or
         (e)      Withdraw any Product from marketing at any time.
         Notwithstanding the above, the Company shall use reasonable efforts
         to provide Distributor with prompt written notice of any such
         decisions and shall fill all accepted Purchase Orders from
         Distributor for any such altered or discontinued Products of which
         manufacturing and commercial deliveries have commenced.

                  will not constitute a commitment by either party;
         (c)      Inventory reports;
         (d)      Quarterly financial reports, prepared in accordance with

         shall be payable in full in U.S. dollars not later than thirty (30)
         days of the date of such invoices.

         letter of credit if at any time throughout the Term of this
         Agreement, the value of the outstanding Purchase Orders is greater

         referenced above must also meet the following conditions:

         storage in accordance with the Company's standard commercial
         practices which Distributor represents and warrants to know and
         accept. Any special packaging requirements requested by Distributor
         shall be at Distributor's expense.

         Should registration of the Products by the Company be required by
         any governmental body, Distributor shall notify the Company and
         cooperate with the Company in obtaining such registration in the
         Company's name and at the Company's expense. In the event the
         applicable laws of the Territory require registration of the
         Company's Products in the name of Distributor, the Company may
         simultaneously apply for separate registration of the Company's
         Products in its name or the registration shall be made transferable

11.3     Restrictions To Export. Distributor may actively market, promote
         ----------------------
         and sell Products only within the geographic scope of the
         Territory. Distributor shall not market, nor shall Distributor use
         anyone else to market, any such Products outside the Territory. If,
         unknown to the Company, a Reseller or User acquires Products for
         export, the Company's responsibilities, if any, under this
         Agreement no longer apply to such Products.

11.4     Compliance with the Laws. Distributor agrees that, in performing
         ------------------------
         its obligations under this Agreement, it shall comply at all times
         with all applicable laws, regulations and orders in force in the
         Territory. Distributor also agrees to advise the Company of any
         change, modification or new law which may affect the performance of
         Distributor or the Company with respect to both Parties'
         obligations hereunder.

         Distributor shall furnish to the Company, from time to time, at the
         Company's request and at the Company's reasonable satisfaction, by
         affidavit or other reasonable means, affirmative assurances that
         the appointment of Distributor hereunder and its activities under
         this Agreement are proper and lawful under the law and regulations
         in force in the Territory.

11.5     Review Of Distributor's Compliance. The Company may periodically
         ----------------------------------
         review Distributor's compliance with this Agreement. Distributor
         agrees to provide the Company with such relevant records as the
         Company may request. The Company may reproduce and retain copies of
         such records. The Company, directly or through an independent
         auditor, may conduct a review of Distributor's compliance with this
         Agreement on Distributor's premises during Distributor's business
         hours. If, during the Company's review of Distributor's compliance
         with this Agreement, the Company finds that Distributor has
         materially breached the terms of this relationship, the Company
         shall be entitled to exercise all its rights under law and equity
         and the terms of this Agreement.

11.6     Taxes. Any taxes or governmental charges, whether in the Territory
         -----
         or any other country, now or hereafter imposed upon the sale or
         transfer of goods or respect to the transactions contemplated
         hereunder (with the exception of income taxes or other taxes
         imposed upon the Company and measured by the Company's net income)
         shall be the responsibility of, and shall be paid by, Distributor,
         and if paid or required to be paid by the Company, the amount

         Company has no obligation to reimburse Distributor for any taxes or
         customs duties paid to import the Products, nor for any other costs
         or investments eventually made by Distributor.

13.1     Confidential Information. Distributor agrees that the Company has a
         ------------------------
         proprietary interest in any and all Company Confidential
         Information provided to Distributor by the Company in connection
         with this Agreement or otherwise, whether such information is in
         written, oral or visual form.

13.2     Protection Of Company Information. Distributor acknowledges and
         ---------------------------------
         agrees that all Company Confidential Information is confidential
         and proprietary to the Company. In this regard,
         (a)      Distributor agrees to use Company Confidential Information
                  solely in the discharging of its responsibilities hereunder;
         (b)      Distributor may disclose Company Confidential Information to
                  its employees who have the need to know such information;

                  Distributor must have an appropriate confidentiality
                  agreement with any such employee, binding such employee on
                  the terms of this Section 13. For a period of three (3) years
                  from the date of receipt of Company Confidential Information,
                  Distributor may not disclose such Confidential Information
                  to others (including but not limited to any affiliates of

                  has an appropriate agreement with the other party and such
                  disclosure is approved by the Company in writing. All such
                  appropriate agreements must enable Distributor to meet its

                  media containing Company Confidential Information secure
                  in locked files at all times, when not in use, to prevent
                  their loss or unauthorized disclosure, take action to
                  prevent unauthorized access to any of its premises and
                  comply with all other reasonable security procedures and

                  time;

                  Information at all times from materials of third parties;
         (f)      Distributor's obligations with respect to Company

                  of confidence; (ii) is independently developed; (iii) is
                  or becomes publicly available without breach of this
                  Agreement; (iv) Distributor rightfully receives from a
                  third party without obligation of confidence; or (v) is
                  released for disclosure with the Company's written
                  consent;
         (g)      Distributor shall, upon termination or expiration of this
                  Agreement, deliver to the Company all written or
                  descriptive materials which contain Company Confidential
                  Information;
         (h)      From time to time, the Company may provide Distributor

                  receive any information which Distributor, or any third
                  party, considers confidential or proprietary. Information
                  that Distributor supplies to the Company will not be
                  treated as confidential by the Company unless, before
                  receipt, the Company agrees in writing to do so.
         (b)      The Company may use any information which Distributor
                  makes available to the Company, designated as confidential
                  by Distributor, and the Company may authorize its
                  affiliates to use such information in their operations;
                  provided, however, that the Company shall instruct its
                  personnel to keep such information confidential by using
                  the same care and discretion that it uses with similar
                  data which the Company designates as confidential;
                  further, the Company shall not disclose any such
                  confidential information by publication or otherwise to
                  any third party without the prior written permission of
                  Distributor.
         (c)      Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company conducts an
                  inspection in accordance with its rights pursuant hereto,
                  any materials inspected will be treated as confidential
                  and the Company will not disclose any of them unless
                  required by law to do so.

                                                                Page 17 of 31

         of this Agreement and within the Territory, the designation
         "Distributor of VeriChip Products", in its activities hereunder.

         (a)      Distributor is not granted any right or license to use the
                  Trademarks or any other trademark or tradename owned by
                  the Company in such a manner as to cause confusion
                  concerning the origin of any goods or services.
                  Promotional, advertising and other materials to be used by
                  Distributor, which incorporate or display any Trademarks,
                  other than such material which has been supplied to
                  Distributor by the Company, shall be subject to the
                  Company's guidelines or instructions. Distributor agrees
                  to change or correct, at Distributor's expense, any such
                  promotional advertising or other material, which in the
                  Company's reasonable judgment is inaccurate, objectionable
                  or misleading, or misuses a trademark or tradename owned
                  by the Company.
         (b)      Distributor hereby acknowledges the Company's exclusive
                  right, title and interest in and to the Trademarks.
                  Distributor acknowledges and agrees that, except for the
                  limited use of the Trademarks for purposes of marketing
                  and distributing the Products in conformity with this
                  Agreement, Distributor will acquire no right, title or
                  interest of any kind or nature whatsoever in or to the
                  Trademarks or the goodwill associated therewith.
                  Distributor recognizes that the Trademarks and any
                  goodwill attached thereto, belong to the Company, and
                  Distributor understands and agrees that Distributor's use
                  of the Trademarks shall inure to the benefit of the
                  Company. Distributor shall not disparage, bring into
                  disrepute or reduce the value of any Trademarks.
                  Distributor shall not at any time do or permit any act to
                  be done which may in any way impair the rights of the
                  Company in the Trademarks.
         (c)      Distributor shall not, without the Company's prior written
                  consent, remove or alter any Trademarks, trade names,
                  patent numbers, serial numbers, notices, labels, tags or
                  other identifying marks, symbols or legends affixed to any
                  Products, containers or packages.
         (d)      Distributor undertakes fully and without any reservation
                  whatsoever to render to the Company all assistance as may
                  be necessary in connection with any matter pertaining to
                  the protection of the Trademarks, including, without
                  limitation, to assert no interest in or to, and to
                  withdraw or terminate any interest in or to, any
                  Trademarks which would limit the Company's ability to
                  protect those Trademarks.
         (e)      Distributor shall inform the Company of all registration
                  and recording requirements with respect to the Trademarks
                  within any country of the Territory. All registrations of
                  any Trademarks and domain names which Distributor may
                  assist the Company to obtain within the Territory will be
                  in the name of the Company. Distributor shall not
                  undertake any activities to attempt to register any of the
                  Company's Trademarks without the Company's prior written
                  consent. Distributor shall not use, employ or attempt to
                  register any trademark or tradename which, in the sole
                  judgment of the Company, is confusingly similar to any of
                  the Trademarks.
         (f)      Distributor will immediately notify the Company in writing
                  if any claim of infringement is brought against
                  Distributor in respect to the use of the Trademarks, or if
                  Distributor is aware of or suspects any infringement of
                  the Trademarks by another party. The Company reserves the
                  right in its sole discretion to institute any proceedings
                  against any such third party infringers and Distributor
                  shall refrain from doing so. The Company shall control the
                  defense or prosecution of any actions concerning
                  infringement of its Trademarks. Distributor shall
                  cooperate fully with the Company in any action taken by
                  the Company against any such third parties, provided that
                  all expenses of such action, including Distributor's,
                  shall be borne by the Company and all damages which may be
                  awarded therefrom shall accrue to the Company.

         (g)      Upon termination or expiration of this Agreement,
                  Distributor shall forthwith cease and desist from use of
                  the Trademarks in any manner. In addition, Distributor
                  hereby empowers the Company and agrees to reasonably
                  assist the Company, if requested, to cancel, revoke or
                  withdraw any governmental registration or authorization
                  permitting Distributor to use the Trademarks in the
                  Territory.
         Any unauthorized use of the Trademarks by Distributor shall be a
         material breach of this Agreement, entitling the Company to
         terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 16 hereof and
         to bring an action for infringement of the rights of the Company in
         and to the Trademarks.

14.2     Patents And Copyrights. No rights or licenses are granted to
         ----------------------
         Distributor herein by the Company, expressly or by implication,
         under any patents or copyrights.
         (a)      The Company shall defend Distributor against any claim
                  that any Product provided by the Company hereunder
                  infringe any patent, copyright or other analogous right
                  enforceable in the Territory, and the Company shall pay
                  any resulting damages, costs and attorney's fees finally
                  awarded by a court or any resulting settlement agreed upon
                  by the Company, provided that Distributor promptly
                  notifies the Company in writing of the claim and, further
                  provided, that the Company has sole control of the defense
                  and of all related settlement negotiations.
         (b)      The Company's obligation under this Section is subject to
                  the condition that if any Product becomes, or in the
                  Company's opinion is likely to become, the subject of such
                  a claim, Distributor shall permit the Company, at its
                  option and expense, either to procure the right of
                  Distributor to continue marketing or using the item
                  involved or to replace or modify it so that it becomes
                  non-infringing. If neither of the foregoing alternatives
                  is available in terms which are reasonable in the
                  Company's sole judgment, Distributor hereby agrees that,
                  upon written request by the Company, Distributor shall
                  return the item involved to the Company. In such a case,
                  the Company agrees to grant a credit or refund to
                  Distributor for the amount of charges of the returned
                  Product, as well as any costs of return and applicable
                  taxes thereon.
         (c)      The Company shall have no obligation to Distributor for
                  any liability to third parties for any claim based upon
                  any alteration or modification of any Product or based
                  upon the combination, operation or use of any Product with
                  equipment, data or programming not supplied by the
                  Company.

     The foregoing states the entire obligation of the Company in regard of
     all intellectual property matters and Distributor shall have no right
     to act in the Company's name or on the Company's behalf, with respect
     to infringement of patents, copyrights or analogous rights relating to
     the Products.

                         SECTION 15. INDEMNIFICATION

15.1     Distributor Indemnification. In addition to damages for which
         ---------------------------
         Distributor may be liable under law or equity or under the terms of
         this Agreement or any other applicable agreements, and subject to
         the provisions of Section 15.4 - "Indemnification Procedure",
         below, Distributor shall indemnify, defend and hold the Company,
         its affiliates and all officers, directors, employees and agents
         thereof, harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities,
         losses, damages, costs and expenses (including without limitation
         reasonable attorney's fees, expenses and settlement costs,
         including appeal proceedings) (collectively, "Damages"), which the
         Company or any of its Affiliates and all officers, directors,
         employees and agents thereof may at any time sustain or incur by
         reason of or in connection with any claim, demand or other action
         initiated by any person or entity, arising from,

         related to or in any way connected with (i) Distributor's conduct
         under this Agreement and any other applicable agreements;
         (ii) Distributor's breach of this Agreement; (iii) Distributor's
         failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations; or
         (iv) Distributor's relations with anyone else, particularly regarding
         statements, representations or warranties made by Distributor not
         expressly authorized in writing by the Company hereunder. Furthermore,
         Distributor shall indemnify and hold the Company harmless from and
         against any and all claims, costs, damages and liabilities
         whatsoever asserted by any employee, agent, or representative of
         Distributor under any applicable termination, labor, social
         security or other similar laws and regulations.

         Distributor shall not be obliged to indemnify the Company from any
         such liability, loss, damage, cost or expense, to the extent that
         such liability, loss, damage, cost or expense was caused by any
         intentional or grossly negligent act or omission or
         misrepresentation, or by breach of obligations specified in this
         Agreement by the Company.

15.2     Company Indemnification. The Company hereby agrees to indemnify,
         -----------------------
         defend and hold harmless Distributor, its affiliates and all
         officers, directors, employees and agents thereof from all Damages
         arising out of: (i) the Company's material breach of this
         Agreement, or (ii) the Company's failure to comply with applicable
         laws and regulations in the U.S..

         The Company's liability hereunder will be limited as follows:
         (a)      Claims, Demands and Other Actions:
                  ---------------------------------
                  With respect to the claims, demands and other actions
                  referred to in Paragraph 15.1, above, to the extent that
                  any such claim, demand or other action relates to:
                  (1)      any Product sold by Distributor pursuant to any
                           agreement containing warranties or other
                           commitments which exceed those warranties
                           or commitments which the Company extends
                           hereunder, the Company's obligation to indemnify
                           Distributor shall be equal to the liabilities,
                           losses, damages, costs and expenses for which
                           Distributor would have been liable if the
                           agreement pursuant to which Distributor sold the
                           Product involved had not contained such
                           additional warranties or other commitments;
                  (2)      the failure by Distributor to deliver a Product
                           by a delivery date committed by the Company, the
                           Company's obligation to indemnify Distributor, if
                           any, shall not exceed the liabilities, losses,
                           damages, costs and expenses for which Distributor
                           would have been liable if the agreement pursuant
                           to which Distributor sold the Product involved
                           had contained provisions substantially identical
                           to those of Section 17.13. "Force Majeure",
                           hereof.
         (b)      Certain Distributor Actions:
                  ---------------------------
                  In any event, the Company shall not be obliged to
                  indemnify Distributor from any such liability, loss,
                  damage, cost or expense to the extent that such liability,
                  loss, damage, cost or expense was caused by any
                  intentional or grossly negligent act or omission or
                  misrepresentation, or by any breach of obligations
                  specified in this Agreement by Distributor.

15.3     Allocation of Expenses
         ----------------------
         In the event a claim is based partially on an indemnified claim
         described in Section 15.1 and/or Section 15.2, above, and partially
         on a non-indemnified claim, or is based partially on a claim
         described in Section 15.1, above, and partially on a claim
         described in Section 15.2, above, any

         payments and reasonable attorney fees incurred in connection with
         such claims are to be apportioned between the Parties in accordance
         with the degree of cause attributable to each Party.

15.4     Indemnification Procedure
         -------------------------
         The liability of Distributor and of the Company under Section 15.1
         and Section 15.2, is subject to Distributor or the Company (as the
         case may be): (a) having promptly notified the other of any claim,
         demand or other action likely to give rise to a claim against the
         other; and (b) giving the other all freedom either to join the
         defense, or to direct such defense, with a right to come to a
         settlement if the other so wishes.

                    SECTION 16. TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT

         Distributor or the Company may terminate this Agreement, prior to
         expiration, with or without cause pursuant to the terms of this
         Section 16. "Cause" for purposes of this Section is the breach by
         any of the Parties of a material term of this Agreement.

16.1     Termination by Distributor. If the Company materially breaches this
         --------------------------
         Agreement and if such breach remains uncured for thirty (30) days
         after Distributor gives the Company written notice of such breach,
         Distributor may terminate this Agreement for Cause by delivery of
         written notice of termination to the Company, effective thirty (30)
         days after the date of such notice. The Company may avoid
         termination by curing its breach to Distributor's satisfaction
         within the thirty- (30) day cure period.

16.2     Termination by the Company. The Company may terminate this
         --------------------------
         Agreement for Cause if Distributor materially breaches this
         Agreement, by delivering to Distributor written notice of
         termination, which shall become effective as follows:

         (a)      Upon Notice and Reasonable Cure Period: If the Company
                  --------------------------------------
                  terminates for Cause, the Company may, in the Company's
                  sole discretion, allow Distributor a reasonable time
                  period to cure its breach, if the Company believes such
                  breach is a curable breach. The Company's written notice
                  of termination will indicate the time period the Company
                  allows Distributor to cure its breach ("Cure Period"),
                  which may be thirty (30) days or such a longer period as
                  applicable law may require. Distributor may avoid
                  termination by curing its breach within such Cure Period
                  to the Company's satisfaction. If Distributor fails to
                  cure its breach within the Cure Period, this Agreement
                  shall terminate without further notice to Distributor
                  effective immediately upon the expiration of the Cure
                  Period, or as provided by applicable law.

                  Distributor's material breach of this Agreement which the
                  Company may find susceptible of cure include the
                  following: If Distributor (1) fails to substantially
                  comply with any of the terms and conditions of this
                  Agreement, other related agreements and forms attached
                  hereto and thereto; (2) fails to meet the minimum Quota
                  requirements within the specified period; (3) fails,
                  refuses or neglects to obtain the Company's prior written
                  approval or consent as required in this Agreement; (4)
                  fails, refuses, or neglects to promptly pay when due any
                  amounts Distributor may owe to the Company hereunder; (5)
                  fails to submit when due any reports, financial
                  information, or any other information or documents
                  required under this Agreement; (6) fails to observe or
                  maintain any of the standards or procedures the Company
                  prescribes herein or

                  otherwise in writing; or (7) in the Company's sole
                  discretion, Distributor engages or has engaged in any
                  illegal, fraudulent, unfair or deceptive business practices.

         (b)      Upon Written Notice of Termination. If Distributor
                  ----------------------------------
                  materially breaches this Agreement, and the Company, in
                  its sole discretion, deems that Distributor's material
                  breach is incurable, the Company may terminate this
                  Agreement without affording Distributor any opportunity to
                  cure, by delivering to Distributor the Company's written
                  notice of termination which shall become effective
                  immediately upon delivery, or as required by applicable
                  law.

                  Distributor's incurable material breach of this Agreement
                  include the following: (1) If Distributor has falsely made
                  any of the representations and warranties set forth in
                  this Agreement, or knowingly maintains false books or
                  records or submits any false reports to the Company; or
                  (2) Distributor (and/or its principals) are convicted of a
                  felony, a fraud, a crime involving moral turpitude, or
                  found liable in a civil claim for fraud or any unfair or
                  deceptive act or practice; or (3) Distributor (and/or its
                  owners) purports to transfer any rights or obligations
                  under this Agreement or any interest in Distributor to a
                  third party, without the Company's prior written consent,
                  or (4) Distributor discloses or divulges, directly or
                  indirectly, any information the Company may provide to
                  Distributor as Company Confidential Information; or (5)
                  Distributor forfeits its legal right to do or to transact
                  business in the Territory; or (6) Distributor breaches any
                  terms hereof providing for immediate termination of this
                  Agreement; or (7) Distributor repudiates this Agreement.

         (c)      Automatic Termination. Subject to applicable law, this
                  ---------------------
                  Agreement and each and all rights granted to Distributor
                  hereunder shall immediately and automatically terminate
                  upon the occurrence of Distributor's insolvency,
                  bankruptcy, moratorium, dissolution, liquidation or
                  reorganization, or upon the occurrence of any other events
                  that in the Company's sole discretion may substantially
                  affect Distributor's ability to carry out its obligations
                  under this Agreement.

16.3     Upon termination or expiration of the term of this Agreement or any
         renewal thereof, neither Party shall have any further rights or
         obligations hereunder; provided, that, expiration or termination of
         this Agreement shall not relieve Distributor or the Company of
         their respective obligations incurred prior thereto and that any
         obligations, which by their nature extend beyond expiration or
         termination of a contract, such as those concerning intellectual
         property rights, indemnification and limitation of liabilities
         shall survive expiration or termination of this Agreement and
         remain in effect until fulfilled, and shall apply to the Parties'
         respective successors and assignees. Distributor hereby agrees that
         if the Company permits Distributor to perform certain activities
         after this Agreement expires or terminates, Distributor will do so
         under the terms of this Agreement.

16.4     Distributor and the Company agree that neither Distributor nor the
         Company will be liable for any claims or losses the other may incur
         by early termination of this Agreement in accordance with the
         provisions of this Section. Distributor hereby agrees that, in the
         event of termination or upon expiration of this Agreement, the
         Company shall have no obligation whatsoever to Distributor, or to
         any employee of Distributor, for compensation or for damages of any
         kind, whether on account of the loss by Distributor or such
         employee of present or prospective sales, investments, compensation
         or goodwill or otherwise.

                    SECTION 17. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

17.1     Prior Agreements. This Agreement contains the entire agreement of
         ----------------
         the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and shall
         cancel and supersede, as of the date this Agreement is signed by
         both Parties, any prior agreements written or oral between the
         Parties or their respective legal predecessors with respect to the
         subject matter covered by this Agreement.

17.2     Geographic Scope. All of Distributor's rights under this Agreement
         ----------------
         are valid only in the Territory.

17.3     Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in
         -------------
         accordance with the internal laws of the State of Florida, United
         States of America, applicable to agreements made and to be
         performed entirely within Florida, without regard to the conflicts
         of law principles of such State. Distributor acknowledges,
         represents and warrants that it is aware of the laws of the State
         of Florida, and has been duly advised and willfully chooses the
         laws of the State of Florida as the governing law for this
         Agreement.

         The Parties hereby agree that neither the "United Nations
         Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods", nor
         the Convention on the Limitation Period in the International Sale
         of Goods and the Protocol amending such Convention, done at Vienna
         April 11, 1980, shall govern the rights, duties and obligations of
         the Parties under this Agreement.

17.4     Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process
         -------------------------------------------

         (a)      Both of the Parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally
                  submit, for themselves and their property, to the
                  jurisdiction of any court of the State of Florida sitting
                  in Palm Beach County, Florida, or any Federal court of the
                  United States of America sitting in the Southern District
                  of the State of Florida, and any appellate court from any
                  such court, in any suit, action or proceeding arising out
                  of or relating to this Agreement, or for recognition or
                  enforcement of any judgment, and each of the Parties
                  hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that
                  all claims in respect of any such suit, action or
                  proceeding may be heard and determined in such State of
                  Florida court or Federal court. It shall be a condition
                  precedent to each Party's right to bring any such suit,
                  action or proceeding that such suit, action or proceeding,
                  in the first instance, be brought in such State of Florida
                  court or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal
                  court (unless such suit, action or proceeding is brought
                  solely to obtain discovery or to enforce a judgment), and
                  if each of such State of Florida court and such Federal
                  court refuses to accept jurisdiction with respect thereto,
                  such suit, action or proceeding may be brought in any
                  other court of competent jurisdiction. No Party to this
                  Agreement may move to (1) transfer any such suit, action
                  or proceeding from such State of Florida court or any
                  Federal court of the United States of America sitting in
                  the State of Florida, to another jurisdiction, (2)
                  consolidate any such suit, action or proceeding brought in
                  such State of Florida court or Federal court with a suit,
                  action or proceeding in another jurisdiction, or (3)
                  dismiss any such suit or proceeding brought in such State
                  of Florida court

                  or any Federal court of the United States of America sitting
                  in the State of Florida, for the purpose of bringing the
                  same in another jurisdiction. Each Party agrees that a
                  final judgment in any such suit, action or proceeding
                  shall be conclusive and may be enforced in any other
                  jurisdiction by suit on the judgment or in any other
                  manner provided by law.

         (b)      Each of the Parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally
                  waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and
                  effectively do so, any objection which it may now or
                  hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action
                  or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement
                  in any State of Florida court sitting in Palm Beach
                  County, Florida, or any Federal court sitting in the
                  District of the State of Florida. Each of the Parties
                  --------
                  hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted
                  by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the
                  maintenance of such suit, action or proceeding in such
                  court and further waives the right to object, with respect
                  to such suit, action or proceeding, that such court does
                  not have jurisdiction over such Party.

         (c)      Each of the Parties, hereby irrevocably consents to
                  service of process in the manner provided for notices in
                  Section 17.6 hereof. Nothing in this Agreement will affect
                  the right of either Party to this Agreement to serve
                  process in any other manner permitted by law.

17.5     Assignment. This Agreement and the rights and obligations hereunder
         ----------
         may not be assigned, delegated or transferred by either Party
         without the prior written consent of the other Party; provided,
         however, that Distributor's consent shall not be required with
         respect to any assignment, delegation or transfer by the Company to
         any entity providing financing to the Company, to another division
         of the Company or to any affiliate of the Company or division of
         such affiliate. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the
         permitted successors and assigns of the Company. For the purposes
         of this Agreement, "affiliate" shall mean any company, natural
         person, partnership or other business entity controlled by, under
         common control with or controlling either Party to this Agreement.

         -------------
         or delay in performing any obligation under this Agreement, except
         the obligation to make payments when due, if such failure or delay
         is due to force majeure, including, but not limited to, war,
         embargo, riot, insurrection, sabotage or other civil unrest; fire,
         explosion, flood or other natural disaster; accident or breakdown
         of machinery; unavailability of fuel, labor, containers, or

         damage of vessels or other conveyances for air, land or sea; other
         impediments or hindrances to transportation; strike or other labor
         disturbances; government restraints or any other cause beyond the
         control of the affected party; provided, however, that the Party so
         failing to perform shall (i) as soon as possible, inform the other
         Party of the occurrence of the circumstances preventing or delaying
         the performance of its obligations, and describe at a reasonable
         level of detail the circumstances causing such delay, and (ii)
         exert reasonable efforts to eliminate, cure or overcome any of such
         cases and to resume performance of its covenants with all possible
         speed. In such event, the non-performing Party will be excused from
         any further performance or observance of the obligation(s) so
         affected for as long as such circumstances prevail and such Party
         continues to use its best efforts to recommence performance or
         observance whenever and to whatever extent possible without delay.
         In the event that, by operation of law or governmental decree, it
         becomes illegal to market and sell a Product in the Territory,
         Distributor shall be relieved of its obligations under this
         Agreement (other than the obligation to make any payment due
         hereunder) only to the extent that they relate to such Product. Any
         Party so delayed in its performance will be under no liability for
         loss or damages suffered by the other Party thereby.

         Either Party may convene a meeting between the Parties to discuss
         the force majeure and its effect on any obligation under this
         Agreement. The Parties shall seek to modify the relevant provisions
         in order to accommodate the circumstances caused by the force
         majeure. If the Parties fail to agree on such modifications within
         thirty (30) calendar days after notice of the force majeure is
         delivered, either Party may terminate this Agreement by written
         notice to the other Party. Such termination shall be effective
         thirty (30) calendar days after the date of the written notice.

         RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION

         HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER
