Credit requests should be submitted by Distributor within one month after the date of Distributor's invoice for the related transactions.

7.6 Any credit request will be based on the price shown on the then current Distributor Price List, or the actual net price paid by Distributor for the Product, whichever is lower.

7.7 If Tripath notifies Distributor of any discrepancy in a credit request, Distributor has one month to resolve the discrepancy and pay the amount of the discrepancy.

7.8 No purchase orders for which a Sales Order Acknowledgment has been issued may be canceled or rescheduled within one month of the scheduled shipment date without Tripath's approval.

9.3 Discontinued Product may be returned only with prior written authorization.

9.4 Credit will be allowed for returned Products based on the price actually paid by Distributor, less any prior DPAs, credits and other allowances.

10.2 For OEM Products, Tripath warrants that the Products will be free of manufacturing and workmanship defects for one year from the date of shipment by Distributor to a customer, or eighteen months from the date of shipment to Distributor, whichever is sooner.

10.3 If any OEM Products prove defective during this one year period as set forth in Section 10.2, Tripath will, at its option, either (a) repair or replace the Product with a new or reconditioned Product, (b) use reasonable efforts to provide Distributor with a correction of the defect, or (c) refund to Distributor the purchase price paid for the Product. Any Product replaced will become Tripath property.

10.4 Distributor must return the defective OEM Product pursuant to a return material authorization under Section 9.1 in the original shipping carton (or an equivalent protective carton), and pay the shipping and insurance charges. Distributor assumes the risk of loss or damage during shipment.

10.5 OEM Products that are defective as set forth in Section 10.2 as a result of improper handling, incorrect installation or other misuse, or as a result of accident, disaster, acts of God or other such events, as determined by Tripath in its reasonable discretion, are not covered by this limited warranty.

10.6 For OEM Products, Tripath provides only the warranties set forth in this limited one year limited warranty. For retail Products, Tripath provides to the end user only the warranties set forth in the applicable end user warranty.

Distributor agrees to maintain all such records for a minimum of three years.

Tripath will have sole control of any such action or settlement negotiations (Tripath will not be liable for any costs or expenses incurred without its prior written authorization), and Tripath will pay any final judgment entered against Distributor or its customer based on such infringement. Tripath at its sole option will be relieved of the foregoing obligations unless Distributor or its customer notifies Tripath promptly in writing of such action and gives Tripath full information and assistance to settle and/or defend any such action.

19.2 Limitation. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 19.1, Tripath assumes no liability for, and Distributor agrees to indemnify Tripath to the same extent as Tripath's indemnity under Section 19.1 for: (i) any infringements covering completed equipment or any assembly, circuit, combination, or method in which any of the Products may be used but not covering such Products standing alone; or (ii) any trademark infringements involving any marking or branding not applied by Tripath or involving any marking or branding applied at the request of Distributor; or (iii) any modification of the Products unless such modification was made by Tripath.

19.3 Entire Liability. The foregoing provisions of this section 19 state the entire liability and obligations of Tripath and the exclusive remedy of Distributor and its customers, with respect to any actual or alleged intellectual property infringement by the Products.

20. Limitation of Liability

21.2 Modifications. This Agreement may be modified only in writing signed by an officer of each party.

21.3 Headings. The headings of the several Sections are inserted for convenience of reference only, and are not intended to be part of nor to affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

21.6 Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed by the laws of California, without reference to conflicts of laws.

      19.1  INTERPRETATION.  The Introduction shall be considered a part of this Agreement. Paragraph headings are used only for convenience and do not form part of this Agreement.  A covenant on the part of the Franchisee not to do something includes  a  covenant  not to  permit  others to do it;  any right  given to BKC includes  the  right  to do  it  through  servants  or  agents  or  third  party contractors or to do it in conjunction with its servants,  agents or third party contractors  and includes any necessary  rights of access.  To the extent of any inconsistency,  this Agreement  prevails over the MOD Manual.  References to the parties shall include their heirs, successors in title and assigns.

      19.2  NON-WAIVER. The failure of BKC to exercise any right or option given to it hereunder,  or to insist upon strict  compliance by the  Franchisee or the Principals or any person  comprising the  Franchisee or the Principals  with the terms  of this  Agreement,  shall  not  constitute  a  waiver  of any  terms  or conditions of this Agreement with respect to any other or subsequent breach, nor a waiver by BKC of its right at any time  thereafter to require exact and strict compliance  with all the terms of this  Agreement.  The rights or  remedies  set forth in this  Agreement  are in addition to any other rights or remedies  which may be granted by law.

                                      32

      19.3  GOVERNING  LAW/JURISDICTION.  This Agreement shall become valid when executed  and  accepted  by BKC in  Miami,  Florida;  it shall be  governed  and construed under and in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida; U.S.A.; provided,  however,  that since the Franchisee is a corporation formed under the laws of the  Republic  of  Poland  which is not doing  business  in the State of Florida, the Florida Franchise Act, Florida Statutes Section 817.416(1971) shall not apply to this Agreement.  The parties hereto  acknowledge and agree that all disputes  arising in connection  with this  Agreement  shall be finally  settled pursuant to the provisions set forth in Section 17.6 of this Agreement. However, in the event that Section  17.6(b) of this  Agreement  applies,  then the United States  District  Court for the Southern  District of New York or, if such court lacks  jurisdiction,  the Supreme Court for the State of New York, County of New York,  shall be the venue and exclusive forum in which to adjudicate any case or controversy  arising under said Section  17.6(b),  and the parties further agree that in the event of any such litigation in these courts,  they will not contest or challenge the jurisdiction or venue of these courts.





      19.4  LICENSES, PERMITS, ETC. The Franchisee shall obtain and maintain all licenses and other permits required by the law of the governing bodies where the Franchised  Restaurant  is located and shall comply with all local  governmental requirements  relating  to the  construction,  equipping  and  operation  of the building and the preparation and sale of items in the Franchised Restaurant.

      19.7  SEVERABILITY.  The  parties  agree  that if any  provisions  of this Agreement may be construed in two ways,  one of which would render the provision illegal or  otherwise  voidable or  unenforceable,  and the other of which would render  the  provision  valid and  enforceable,  such  provision  shall have the meaning which renders it valid and  enforceable.  The language of all provisions of this  Agreement  shall be  construed  according  to its fair  meaning and not strictly  against any party. It is the intent of the parties that the provisions of this  Agreement  be enforced  to the  fullest  extent and should any court or other public agency  determine that any provision  herein is not  enforceable as written  in  this  Agreement,  the  provision  shall  be  amended  so that it is enforceable to the fullest extent permissible under the laws and public policies of the  jurisdiction in which the enforcement is sought.  The provisions of this Agreement are severable and this Agreement  shall be interpreted and enforced as

                                      33

if all completely invalid or unenforceable  provisions were not contained in the Agreement,  and partially valid and enforceable  provisions shall be enforced to the extent that they are valid and enforceable.
