                                                     A Maximum of 40,000 Shares

         THIS CERTIFIES that, for value received, BENITO ABAD with an address at

and conditions set forth herein,  at any time from the first Vesting Date to the

shares (the "Shares") of the Company's common stock,  $0.007 par value per share
(the  "Common  Stock").  The price (the  "Exercise  Price") for each Share as to

the first  Vesting  Date,  there shall not vest the right to purchase any Shares

         If a Termination  Date shall occur after the first Vesting Date,  there
shall vest for the Quarter in which such  Termination Date shall occur the right
to purchase an  additional  number of shares equal to 111.11  multiplied  by the
number of full days which have  elapsed in such  Quarter  since the last Vesting
Date.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Warrant,  the Holder shall be
entitled to purchase only up to the Vested Shares Rights at any point in time.

preamble to this Warrant with respect to Vested Share Rights),  by the surrender
of this  Warrant  (with the  election  at the end hereof duly  executed)  to the
Company at its office at One Canterbury Green, 8th Floor, Stamford, CT 06901, or
at such other place as is  designated  in writing by the Company,  together with
cash or a certified or bank cashier's  check payable to the order of the Company

exercise of this  Warrant,  the Company  shall issue and deliver to the Holder a
certificate  or  certificates  for  the  Shares  issuable  upon  such  exercise,
registered in the name of the Holder or its designee.  If this Warrant should be
exercised in part only,  the Company  shall,  upon surrender of this Warrant for
cancellation,  execute  and deliver a new  Warrant  evidencing  the right of the
Holder to purchase  the balance of the Shares (or portions  thereof)  subject to
purchase hereunder.

<PAGE>

         4.       EXERCISE PROCEDURE

         Any Shares  issued upon the exercise of this Warrant  shall be numbered
and shall be  registered  in a Common  Stock  Register as they are  issued.  The
Company  shall be  entitled to treat the  registered  holder of any Share as the
owner in fact thereof for all  purposes and shall not be bound to recognize  any
equitable  or other  claim to or interest in such Share on the part of any other
person, and shall not be liable for any registration or transfer of Shares which
are  registered or to be registered in the name of a fiduciary or the nominee of
a fiduciary unless made with the actual knowledge that a fiduciary or nominee is
committing a breach of trust in requesting  such  registration  or transfer,  or
with the knowledge of such facts that its  participation  therein amounts to bad
faith.  This Warrant shall be transferable only on the books of the Company upon
delivery thereof duly endorsed by the Holder or by his duly authorized  attorney
or representative, or accompanied by proper evidence of succession,  assignment,
or  authority to  transfer.  In all cases of transfer by an attorney,  executor,
administrator,  guardian,  or other  legal  representative,  duly  authenticated
evidence of his or its authority  shall be produced.  Upon any  registration  of
transfer,  the  Company  shall  deliver a new  Warrant or Warrants to the person
entitled  thereto.  This Warrant may be  exchanged,  at the option of the Holder
thereof, for another Warrant, or other Warrants of different  denominations,  of
like tenor and representing in the aggregate the right to purchase a like number
of Shares (or  portions  thereof),  upon  surrender  to the  Company or its duly
authorized  agent.  Notwithstanding  the  foregoing,  the Company  shall have no
obligation to cause Warrants to be transferred on its books to any person if, in
the opinion of counsel to the Company,  such  transfer  does not comply with the
provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"),  and the rules
and regulations thereunder.

         5.       REGISTRATION RIGHTS

         The Company shall file a Registration  Statement covering the Shares on
Form S-8, or other  comparable form then in effect,  on or before the end of the
First Quarter.

         6.       RESERVATION OF COMMON STOCK

         The Company shall at all times reserve and keep  available,  solely for
the purpose of  providing  for the exercise of the rights to purchase all Shares
granted  pursuant to this  Warrant,  such  number of shares of Common  Stock and
other stock,  securities and property as from time to time are  receivable  upon
exercise of this Warrant.  The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock
issuable upon exercise of this Warrant,  upon receipt by the Company of the full
Exercise Price therefor, shall be validly issued, fully paid, nonassessable, and
free of preemptive rights.

                                       24

         7.       NOTICE OF ADJUSTMENTS

         The Exercise  Price and the number of Shares of Common Stock subject to
this Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:

                  (A)      SUBDIVISION OR COMBINATION OF STOCK

                           (1) If at any time or from time to time following the
date of issuance of this Warrant the Company  shall  subdivide  its  outstanding
shares  of  Common  Stock,  the  Exercise  Price  for  this  Warrant  in  effect
immediately  prior to such subdivision  shall be  proportionately  reduced,  and
conversely,  in case the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company shall
be  combined  into a smaller  number of  shares,  the  Exercise  Price in effect
immediately prior to such combination shall be proportionately increased.

                           (2) Upon each  adjustment  of the  Exercise  Price as
provided in (a)(i) above,  the Holder shall  thereafter be entitled to purchase,
at the  Exercise  Price  resulting  from such  adjustment,  the number of Shares
(calculated to the nearest whole share of Common Stock)  obtained by multiplying
the Exercise Price in effect  immediately prior to such adjustment by the number
of Shares  purchasable  pursuant hereto immediately prior to such adjustment and
dividing  the  product  thereof  by  the  Exercise  Price  resulting  from  such
adjustment.

                  (B)  ADJUSTMENT  FOR STOCK  DIVIDENDS.  If and whenever at any
time the Company  shall declare a dividend or make any other  distribution  upon
any class or series of stock of the Company payable in shares of Common Stock or
securities  convertible  into shares of Common Stock, the Exercise Price and the
number  of  Shares  to be  obtained  upon  exercise  of this  Warrant  shall  be
proportionately  adjusted to reflect the  issuance of any shares of Common Stock
or  convertible  securities,  as the case may be,  issuable  in  payment of such
dividend or distribution.

                  (C) REORGANIZATION, RECLASSIFICATION, CONSOLIDATION, MERGER OR
SALE. If any capital  reorganization of the capital stock of the Company, or any
consolidation or merger of the Company with another corporation,  or the sale of
all or substantially all of its assets to another  corporation shall be effected
in such a way that holders of Common  Stock shall be entitled to receive  stock,
securities,  or  other  assets  or  property,  then,  as  a  condition  of  such
reorganization,  reclassification,  consolidation,  merger or sale,  lawful  and
adequate  provisions  shall be made whereby the Holder  hereof shall  thereafter
have the right to purchase  and  receive (in lieu of the Shares of Common  Stock
immediately  theretofore  purchasable) such shares of stock, securities or other
assets or  property as may be issued or payable  with  respect to or in exchange
for a number of outstanding shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Shares
of such  stock  immediately  theretofore  purchasable  and  receivable  upon the
exercise  of the rights  represented  hereby.  In any  reorganization  described
above,  appropriate  provision  shall be made with  respect  to the  rights  and
interests  of the Holder of this Warrant to the end that the  provisions  hereof
(including, without limitation, provisions for adjustments of the Exercise Price
and of the number of Shares purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of this
Warrant) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as may be, in relation to any
shares of stock,  securities or assets thereafter  deliverable upon the exercise
hereof.  The  Company  will not  effect any such  consolidation,  merger or sale
unless, prior to the consummation  thereof, the successor  corporation (if other
than  the  Company)   resulting  from  such  consolidation  or  the  corporation

                                       25
<PAGE>

purchasing such assets shall assume by written  instrument,  executed and mailed
or delivered to the registered  Holder hereof at the last address of such Holder
appearing on the books of the Company,  the obligation to deliver to such Holder
such shares of stock,  securities or assets as, in accordance with the foregoing
provisions, such Holder may be entitled to purchase.

                  (D) MINIMAL  ADJUSTMENTS.  No adjustment in the Exercise Price
and/or  the  number  of  Shares  subject  to this  Warrant  need be made if such
adjustment  would  result  in a change in the  Exercise  Price of less than five
cents ($0.05) (the  "Adjustment  Threshold  Amount").  Any adjustment  less than
these  amounts  which is not made  shall be  carried  forward  and shall be made
together  with any  subsequent  adjustments,  at the time when (i) the aggregate
amount of all such  adjustments  is equal to at least the  Adjustment  Threshold
Amount or (ii) this Warrant is exercised.

                  (E)  CERTIFICATE OF  ADJUSTMENTS.  Upon the occurrence of each
adjustment or readjustment of the Exercise Price pursuant to this Section 7, the
Company, at its expense,  shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment
in  accordance  with the terms  hereof and  prepare  and furnish to the Holder a
certificate  setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail
the facts upon which such  adjustment  or  readjustment  is based.  The  Company
shall,  upon written  request at any time of the Holder,  furnish or cause to be
furnished to the Holder a like  certificate  setting forth (i) such  adjustments
and  readjustments,  (ii) the then effective Exercise Price and number of Shares
subject  to this  Warrant,  and (iii) the then  effective  amount of  securities
(other than the shares of Common Stock) and other property,  if any, which would
be received upon exercise of this Warrant.

         8.       EXPENSES

         The issuance of any Shares upon the exercise of this  Warrant,  and the
delivery of certificates or other instruments representing such Shares, shall be
made without charge to the Holder for any tax or other charge in respect of such
issuance.  The Company shall not, however, be required to pay income tax imposed
upon the  Holder or any tax which may be  payable  in  respect  of any  transfer
involved in the issue and delivery of any  certificate in a name other than that
of the Holder and the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any such
certificate  unless and until the person or persons requesting the issue thereof
shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall have  established
to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid.

         9.       LOSS OF WARRANT

         Upon  receipt  of  evidence  satisfactory  to the  Company of the loss,
theft,  destruction,  or mutilation  of this Warrant (and upon  surrender of any
Warrant if  mutilated),  including  an affidavit of the Holder that this Warrant
has been lost,  stolen,  destroyed  or  mutilated,  together  with an  indemnity
against any claim that may be made  against the Company on account of such lost,
stolen,  destroyed or mutilated Warrant, and upon reimbursement of the Company's
reasonable  incidental  expenses,  the Company  shall execute and deliver to the
Holder a new Warrant of like date, tenor, and denomination.

                                       26
<PAGE>

         10.      NO STOCKHOLDER RIGHTS

         The  Holder of this  Warrant  shall not have  solely on account of such
status, any rights of a stockholder of the Company,  either at law or in equity,
or to any notice of meetings of stockholders or of any other  proceedings of the
Company, except as provided in this Warrant.

         11.      GOVERNING LAW

         This  Warrant  shall be construed  in  accordance  with the laws of the
State of Delaware  applicable to contracts made and performed within such State,
without giving effect to conflicts of law principles.

         12.      NOTICES

         Any notice or other  communication  required or  permitted  to be given
hereunder  shall be in writing  and shall be mailed by  certified  mail,  return
receipt  requested,  or by Federal  Express,  Express Mail or similar  overnight

12. Any notice or other  communication  given by certified  mail shall be deemed
given at the time of  certification  thereof,  except  for a notice  changing  a
party's address which shall be deemed given at the time of receipt thereof.  Any
notice  given by other means  permitted by this Section 12 shall be deemed given
at the time of receipt thereof.

         13.      WAIVER

         No course of dealing and no delay or omission on the part of the Holder
in exercising any right or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise
prejudice the Holder's  rights,  powers or remedies.  No right,  power or remedy
conferred by this Warrant upon the Holder shall be exclusive of any other right,
power or remedy  referred  to herein or now or  hereafter  available  at law, in
equity,  by statute or otherwise,  and all such remedies may be exercised singly
or concurrently.

                                       27

1.2      PREAMBLE AND ATTACHMENTS

         The  Preamble  to this  Agreement,  as  well  as any and all  Exhibits,
         Appendices,  Exhibits or other attachments to this Agreement shall form
         an integral part hereof.

2.       MARKETING SERVICES

Bartech hereby undertakes to promote and market the Outsource  Services,  in the
Territory,  in  accordance  with the  provisions  of this  Section 2 below  (the
"MARKETING").

2.1      MARKETING PLAN

         The Parties recognize and acknowledge that the initial  introduction of
         Outsource  Services  into any  country in the  Territory  will  require
         special investment of time and resources, and it may not be feasible at
         the outset to offer  Outsource  Services  concurrently  throughout  the
         Territory,  or in countries in which a minimum number of  installations
         cannot be achieved.  The Parties further recognize and acknowledge that
         the marketing and offer of the Outsource Services should be targeted at
         a defined  market  segment  and at suitable  kinds of hotel  (typically
         upscale and luxury Hotels, preferably chain affiliated). In view of the
         foregoing,  it is  agreed  that  Bartech  will  perform  the  Marketing
         strictly and solely in accordance  with the Marketing  Plan attached as
         EXHIBIT 2.1 hereto (the  "MARKETING  PLAN"),  as amended by the Parties
         from time to time.

2.2      ANNUAL BUDGET
         In  addition  to  the  Marketing  Plan,  and  in  accordance  with  the
         principles  set forth therein,  HOMI will deliver to Bartech,  no later
         than  October  31st in each  calendar  year,  a budget  for the  coming
         calendar year, which will include an indication of the minimum quantity
         of Bartech  Minibars  which HOMI  plans to  purchase  during the budget
         period (the "TARGET QUANTITY") and an indication of how HOMI intends to
         fund the purchase of said Bartech Minibars (the "ANNUAL  BUDGET").  The
         Annual  Budget for the year 2003 is  attached  as  EXHIBIT  2.2 and the
         Annual Budget for subsequent years will follow  substantially  the same
         format. Upon HOMI's purchasing two thirds of the Target Quantity in any
         given  year,  it will  notify  Bartech  of any  increase  to the Target
         Quantity for that year.

2.3      MARKETING ACTIVITIES
         In the  context  of  performing  the  Marketing,  and at all  times  in
         accordance with the Marketing Plan and the Annual Budget,  Bartech will
         include the Outsource  Services in all  applicable  marketing  programs
         and/or advertising  campaigns run by Bartech, at all levels,  including
         hotel chains,  major accounts and individual hotels, and will recommend
         the Outsource Services to its current and potential  customers,  giving
         the Outsource  Services no less preference than any other equivalent or
         alternative  program  marketed by Bartech,  and  specifically  with the
         objective  of  facilitating  the entry into and the  execution  of term
         sheets or  definitive  agreements  by and between HOMI and  appropriate
         major hotel chains,  relating to the provision of Outsource Services by
         HOMI, all in the manner set forth herein.  For avoidance of doubt,  the
         actions set forth above are not by no means an  exhaustive  list of the
         actions which will be taken by Bartech in performing the Marketing.  An
         indication  of  other  actions  which  will  be  taken  by  Bartech  in
         performing  the  Marketing  is set  forth  in  the  list  of  Marketing
         Activities  which is  included  in the  Marketing  Plan  (Exhibit  2.1)
         hereto.

2.4      MARKETING MATERIAL AND REPRESENTATIONS

         A.       In  performing  the  Marketing,   Bartech  will  make  use  of
                  promotional material,  including brochures,  pamphlets and the
                  like, which it will receive from HOMI  ("MARKETING  MATERIAL")
                  and in any event  Bartech  will make use,  in  performing  the
                  Marketing,  only of  currently  valid  material  that has been
                  approved in advance by both Parties.

                  the nature of the Outsource  Services must be consistent  with
                  the  standard  terms under which HOMI  typically  provides the
                  Outsource Services, as amended by HOMI and provided to Bartech
                  from time to time.  A current  summary  of these  terms is set
                  forth in EXHIBIT 2.4B hereto (the "STANDARD TERMS").

         C.       HOMI will be bound by the terms of definitive agreements which
                  it may enter into with  hotels or hotel  chains,  and  Bartech
                  will have no  authority to make any  representation  on HOMI's
                  behalf or in its name, to any third party,  except in the form
                  of  and/or  in  accordance  with  the then  current  Marketing
                  Material  and  Standard  Terms,  and Bartech will not have the
                  power to make any commitments or representations  that will be
                  binding on HOMI towards any third party.

         D.       All the Marketing  will be performed  under the joint names of
                  Bartech and HOMI,  and Bartech will indicate  clearly that the
                  Outsource Services will be provided by HOMI.

2.5      MARKETING AND NEGOTIATION PROCEDURES

         A.       Upon a hotel  chain that meets the  criteria  set forth in the
                  Marketing Plan  expressing to Bartech an interest in receiving
                  the Outsource Services (a "POTENTIAL CHAIN CUSTOMER"), Bartech
                  will immediately  notify HOMI and, in coordination  with HOMI,
                  will  facilitate  one or more  meetings,  as necessary,  to be
                  attended by the Potential  Chain  Customer,  Bartech and HOMI,
                  with the  objective of enabling HOMI to negotiate an Outsource
                  Services  framework  agreement  between HOMI and the Potential
                  Chain Customer, pursuant to which the Potential Chain Customer
                  will  afford  HOMI  the  status  of  approved,   preferred  or
                  exclusive service provider in relation to Outsource Services.

         B.       Any hotel that meets the criteria  set forth in the  Marketing
                  Plan,  whether or not it is  affiliated  with a hotel chain as
                  set forth in  Sub-Section a above,  that expresses an interest
                  in receiving the Outsource  Services (a "POTENTIAL  CUSTOMER")
                  shall  complete a  questionnaire,  in a form to be supplied to
                  Bartech by HOMI (the "QUESTIONNAIRE"),  whereupon Bartech will
                  immediately notify HOMI of such approach and will proceed with
                  the Preliminary Surveys as set forth in Section 3.1 below.

         C.       Once the  Preliminary  Surveys  have  been  conducted  and the
                  Preliminary  Survey  Reports  have  been  delivered  to  HOMI,
                  pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.1 below, and solely in
                  the event that HOMI,  in its  discretion,  decides  that it is
                  interested in further  examining the  possibility of providing
                  Outsource Services to the Potential Customer, then Bartech, at
                  HOMI's request, will facilitate a meeting between HOMI and the
                  Potential  Customer,  and the Bartech  salesperson  who was in
                  contact with the  Potential  Customer  will also be invited to
                  attend this meeting.

         D.       To the extent  that,  following  said  meeting,  HOMI,  in its
                  discretion,  and the  Potential  Customer,  are  interested in
                  proceeding  with  negotiations  over the  possible  supply  of
                  Outsource Services to the Potential  Customer,  then HOMI will
                  conduct  these   negotiations   directly  with  the  Potential
                  Customer,  and Bartech  will aid and assist this effort to the
                  best of its ability, upon such request being made by HOMI. For
                  avoidance of doubt,  the  determination  of whether to conduct
                  negotiations,  as  well  as the  terms  being  offered  to the
                  Potential Customer and the decision on whether or not to enter
                  into  an  agreement  with  the  Potential   Customer  for  the
                  provision  of  Outsource  Services  (an  "OUTSOURCE   SERVICES
                  AGREEMENT"),  and on what terms,  shall be made by HOMI alone,
                  in its discretion.

STRATEGIC ALLIANCE AGREEMENT
BARTECH EMEA  - HOTEL OUTSOURCE MANAGEMENT INT'L, INC.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

         E.       If,  following  receipt of due  notification by Bartech of the
                  existence of a particular  Potential  Customer,  in accordance
                  with the  provisions  of this Section 2.5 above,  HOMI decides
                  that it is not interested in providing  Outsource  Services to
                  said Potential Customer, or if HOMI's subsequent  negotiations
                  with the Potential Customer are abandoned without an Outsource
                  Agreement  being  signed,  then HOMI shall  notify  Bartech in
                  writing  of  these   circumstances  and  Bartech  shall  then,
                  notwithstanding the provisions of Section 13 below, be free to
                  offer  said  Potential   Customer  other   outsource   service
                  solutions,  to  be  provided  by a  Person  other  than  HOMI,
                  provided  however  that  said  solutions  shall be a  one-time
                  arrangement,  and Bartech will still not be permitted to enter
                  into any joint  venture,  partnership  or similar  arrangement
                  with any Person (including said Potential Customer) other than
                  HOMI, relating to Outsource  Services,  or services identical,
                  similar  or  competing   with  Outsource   Services,   in  the
                  Territory.

2.6      COMPENSATION
         The  Standard  Purchase  Price  includes  inter alia the full and final
         compensation  for the Marketing and Bartech will not be entitled to any
         kind of compensation for the Marketing,  other than any sum to which it
         may actually be entitled on account of Purchase of Bartech Minibars, in
         accordance with the provisions of Section 4 below.

3.       SURVEYS BY BARTECH

3.1      PRELIMINARY SURVEYS
         Within 10 Business Days of receiving a completed  Questionnaire  from a
         Potential  Customer,  Bartech will perform,  solely at its own expense,
         preliminary  surveys at each of the  Potential  Customer's  premises at
         which the  provision of  Outsource  Services is being  considered  (the
         "SITES"), in relation to the suitability of Bartech Minibars, and their
         Turnkey  Installation,   to  the  Potential  Customer's  infrastructure
         ("GENERAL  TECHNICAL  SURVEY")  and in relation to the  suitability  of
         Bartech Minibars,  and their Turnkey Installation,  to the provision of
         Outsource   Services  at  said  premises  of  the  Potential   Customer
         ("COMMERCIAL  SURVEY") (the General Technical Survey and the Commercial
         Survey shall be termed, jointly and severally,  "PRELIMINARY SURVEYS").
         Bartech  will  deliver to HOMI a report on the  findings of each of the
         Preliminary   Surveys,   together   with  a  copy   of  the   completed
         Questionnaire,    details   of   Bartech's   own    observations    and
         recommendations  and a detailed  account of any and all information and
         material  that has already been  provided to said  Potential  Customer,
         plus  a  summary  of  all  contacts  with  the  Potential  Customer  in
         connection with the Outsource Services, and full contact details of the
         Potential    Customer's   relevant   contact   person,   such   reports
         substantially  to take the form set forth in EXHIBIT 3.1(1) and EXHIBIT
         3.1(2) hereto, respectively (the "PRELIMINARY SURVEY REPORTS"). Bartech
         will deliver the Preliminary  Survey Reports to HOMI within 10 Business
         Days of performing each of the Preliminary  Surveys,  respectively,  in
         recognition of the fact that HOMI may rely upon said Preliminary Survey
         Reports during its negotiations with the Potential  Customer.  HOMI may
         elect,  at any time, in its  discretion,  to  participate  or otherwise
         assist  in  the  Preliminary  Surveys  and/or  the  preparation  of the
         Preliminary  Survey  Reports,   without  in  any  way  derogating  from
         Bartech's undertakings and obligations as set forth herein.

3.2      DETAILED TECHNICAL SURVEY

         A.       Within 10 Business Days of receiving  written notice from HOMI
                  that HOMI's  negotiations  with a Hotel have reached the stage
                  where at least one draft Outsource Services Agreement has been
                  exchanged  between HOMI and that Potential  Customer,  Bartech
                  will perform,  solely at its own expense, a detailed,  room by
                  room  survey of the  Sites.  Bartech  will  deliver  to HOMI a
                  report with its findings

<PAGE>

STRATEGIC ALLIANCE AGREEMENT
BARTECH EMEA  - HOTEL OUTSOURCE MANAGEMENT INT'L, INC.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                  under the Detailed  Technical  Survey and its  recommendations
                  thereunder,  such  report  substantially  to take the form set
                  forth in  EXHIBIT  3.2A  hereto  ("DETAILED  TECHNICAL  SURVEY
                  REPORT"),  within 10 Business Days of performing  the Detailed
                  Technical  Survey,  in  recognition  of the fact that HOMI may
                  rely upon said  Detailed  Technical  Survey  Report during its
                  negotiations with the Hotel.

         B.       Bartech  acknowledges  and is aware  that in some or all Sites
                  the Turnkey Installation will be performed using existing Site
                  infrastructure  including  co-axial  or other  forms of cable,
                  which  may or may not be used by the  Hotel to  provide  other
                  services to its guests,  and it is essential that the Detailed
                  Technical Survey and Detailed  Technical Survey Report address
                  this matter thoroughly,  in recognition inter alia of the fact
                  that the Turnkey  Installation must not cause any interference
                  to  Television,  MATV,  PayTV and/or any other  systems at the
                  Site and that Bartech will be required to  immediately  remedy
                  any such  interference  that is  caused  during  or after  the
                  installation of the Bartech Minibars,  and that if unremedied,
                  such   interference   could  even  entitle  Hotels  to  revoke
                  Outsource Services Agreements.

         C.       Bartech further  acknowledges and is aware that HOMI will make
                  various  undertakings  towards Hotels in relation to Outsource
                  Services,  as a  fundamental  part of the  Outsource  Services
                  Agreements  between HOMI and the Hotels, in full reliance upon
                  the accuracy of the Detailed Technical Survey Report. A sample
                  form of the kind of Outsource  Services  Agreement  which HOMI
                  may enter into with Hotels is attached hereto as EXHIBIT 3.2C,
                  which is confidential and for Bartech's eyes only.

3.3      COMPENSATION
         The  Standard  Purchase  Price  includes  inter alia the full and final
         compensation  for the  Preliminary  Surveys and the Detailed  Technical
         Survey and Bartech will not be entitled to any kind of compensation for
         the foregoing,  other than any sum to which it may actually be entitled
         on account of  Purchase of Bartech  Minibars,  in  accordance  with the
         provisions of Section 4 below.

4.       PURCHASE OF BARTECH MINIBARS

4.1      PURCHASE ORDER
         At any time and from time to time  during  the Term of this  Agreement,
         HOMI shall be entitled to purchase Bartech  Minibars from Bartech,  for
         the purpose of  providing  Outsource  Services  to Hotels,  by means of
         sending  Bartech a purchase order,  substantially  in the form attached
         hereto as EXHIBIT 4.1  ("PURCHASE  ORDER").  For avoidance of doubt and
         notwithstanding all other provisions herein, the determination of which
         models of Bartech  Minibar are to be purchased  will be HOMI's,  in its
         discretion, based on HOMI's negotiations with the Hotels.

4.2      SPECIFICATIONS
         Bartech  Minibars  will be supplied  in  accordance  with the  standard
         Bartech Minibar specifications as detailed by Bartech from time to time
         in  respect  of  each  model  of  Bartech  Minibar  purchased,  and  in
         accordance  with  specific  specifications  set forth by Bartech in the
         Detailed Technical Survey and further  specifications of which HOMI may
         notify   Bartech  in  writing   when   submitting   a  Purchase   Order
         (collectively, the "SPECIFICATIONS").

4.3      TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF PURCHASE
         Purchases of Bartech  Minibars by HOMI from Bartech in accordance  with
         this Agreement  ("PURCHASES") shall be subject to the General Terms and

<PAGE>

STRATEGIC ALLIANCE AGREEMENT
BARTECH EMEA  - HOTEL OUTSOURCE MANAGEMENT INT'L, INC.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

         Minibars to HOMI in  accordance  with the  Purchases  HOMI makes and in
         accordance with the General Terms and the Specifications.

4.4      BARTECH MINIBAR PURCHASE PRICE

         A.       The Parties  hereby agree that the Purchases  will be made and
                  supplied at a 10% discount from Bartech's End User  Price-List
                  for the  Territory  as  shall  be in  force  at the  time  the
                  Purchase  Order is sent to Bartech (the  "PRICE-LIST"  and the
                  "STANDARD  PURCHASE  PRICE"),  provided however that HOMI will
                  only be invoiced for items which it actually  purchases  (e.g.
                  training  will  usually  not be  required  and  will  thus not
                  usually be included in the Standard  Purchase Price,  although
                  it will be invoiced if it is nonetheless required and received
                  by HOMI).  Bartech's current  Price-List is attached hereto as
                  EXHIBIT  4.4A.  Each  Price-List  shall remain in force and be
                  binding upon the Parties until the expiry of 60 days from such
                  time as Bartech shall  deliver to HOMI an updated  Price-List,
                  whereupon said updated  Price-List  shall enter into force for
                  the purposes of this Agreement.

         B.       For  avoidance  of doubt,  it is agreed that the 10%  discount
                  shall apply to hardware and software and license fees only and
                  not to labour, transportation, taxes or duties, if any.

4.5      SPECIAL TERMS

         A.       If HOMI  shall  require  certain  Purchases  to be made  under
                  special terms, which differ from and/or are in addition to the
                  General Terms,  and/or at special prices which differ from the
                  Standard Purchase Price ("SPECIAL TERMS"),  then it shall send
                  Bartech,  together  with its  Purchase  Order or at a mutually
                  agreeable  later date, a list of the Special Terms it requires
                  and the  Parties  shall  negotiate  in good  faith  and  reach
                  agreement  as to the  Special  Terms  that will  apply to said
                  Purchases.  Bartech is aware that the Special  Terms which may
                  be  requested  by HOMI may arise out of  certain  requirements
                  being made by Hotels, and Bartech agrees, without prejudice to
                  its legitimate commercial interests, to negotiate with HOMI in
                  good faith as to the  Special  Terms,  with the  objective  of
                  approving  Special Terms that will be satisfactory to HOMI and
                  to the Hotels,  whereupon  the General  Terms and/or  Standard
                  Purchase  Price will, for the purposes of this  Agreement,  be
                  deemed amended in accordance with the Special Terms.

         B.       Bartech  acknowledges and is aware that HOMI will make various
                  undertakings  towards  Hotels  in  relation  to the  Outsource
                  Services,  as a  fundamental  part of the  Outsource  Services
                  Agreements  between HOMI and the Hotels, in full reliance upon
                  Bartech's  supplying  HOMI's  Purchases of Bartech Minibars in
                  accordance  with  the  General  Terms  and/or  any  applicable
                  Special  Terms in such manner as to enable HOMI to provide the
                  Hotels  with  Outsource   Services  in  accordance   with  the
                  Outsource Services Agreements.

4.6      SPECIAL SALES EXECUTIVE INCENTIVE
         Bartech  hereby grants its consent that HOMI may, from time to time, in
         its discretion,  offer and grant a special  incentive bonus for Bartech
         sales executives with  responsibility  for one or more countries in the
         Territory,  amounting  to up to 1%  (usually no more than 0.75%) of the
         Standard  Purchase Price paid by HOMI to Bartech for all Purchases made
         during a particular year for installation in said country/ies. Any such
         bonus will be paid to Bartech by HOMI,  and Bartech  will pay the bonus
         to the appropriate sales executive, in line with the foregoing.

         A.       For each calendar year, during the Term of this Agreement,  in
                  which HOMI  purchases at least the Target  Quantity of Bartech
                  Minibars, Bartech shall pay HOMI an end of year bonus, subject

                  Bartech Minibars, as follows (the "END OF YEAR BONUS"):

                  (I)      if the Target Quantity was achieved,  then the End of

                           Price in respect of the Bartech Minibars purchased in
                           that year and paid for in full by HOMI;

                  (II)     if the Target  Quantity was exceeded by at least 20%,
                           then the End of Year  Bonus  shall  equal 1.5% of the
                           Standard  Purchase  Price in respect  of the  Bartech
                           Minibars  purchased in that year and paid for in full
                           by HOMI; and

                  (III)    if the Target  Quantity was exceeded by at least 30%,
                           then  the End of Year  Bonus  shall  equal  2% of the
                           Standard  Purchase  Price in respect  of the  Bartech
                           Minibars  purchased in that year and paid for in full
                           by HOMI.

         B.       Calculation  of the End of Year Bonus shall be on the basis of
                  invoices actually issued to HOMI during the year for which the
                  bonus is being  calculated,  and  Bartech  will pay the End of
                  Year Bonus to HOMI, in a single  payment,  by check,  no later
                  than February 15th  immediately  following the end of the year
                  for which the bonus is being  paid,  subject  to HOMI's  prior
                  settlement in full of all of said invoices.

4.8      PAYMENTS TO HEADQUARTERS

         To the extent that a Hotel,  which is a hotel  chain,  requests  that a
         payment be made to its  headquarters,  on account of its  expenses  and
         efforts  in  negotiating  Outsource  Services  Agreement(s)  with HOMI,
         whether  in the  form of  reimbursement  of all or part of the  Hotel's
         expenses,  or in any other form  (usually  up to 2% of the value of the
         agreement),  then Bartech will use its best efforts to try and persuade
         said Hotel chain to waive such request.  If,  however,  notwithstanding
         Bartech's  best  efforts,  the Hotel chain  continues  to require  said
         payment,  then any such payment  which is made to the Hotel chain shall
         be made by HOMI, at its own cost and expense.

5.       PMS INTERFACE
5.1      PREPARATION OF THE PMS INTERFACE

         A.       The Parties  acknowledge that, in order to facilitate seamless
                  and  continuous  interface  between the software which Bartech
                  supplies  with the  Bartech  Minibars  and  installs on HOMI's
                  computers,  and the PMS at the  Site  for  which  the  Bartech
                  Minibars are being purchased,  various refinements may need to
                  be made to the PMS  and/or a software  package  may need to be
                  prepared to effect such interface, based on the specifications
                  which Bartech will have found to be applicable in light of the
                  Detailed   Technical  Survey,  as  reported  in  the  Detailed
                  Technical Survey Report (the "PMS INTERFACE").

         B.       The Parties acknowledge that, in most cases, the Hotel, or the
                  supplier of the PMS,  will wish to prepare the PMS  Interface,
                  and in all instances HOMI will inform the Hotel that the Hotel
                  is responsible for  preparation of the PMS Interface.  Bartech
                  will provide whatever timely information and assistance may be
                  required in order to assist the Hotel  and/or the PMS supplier
                  in preparing the PMS Interface.

         C.       If, however,  the Hotel requires that HOMI prepare and provide
                  the PMS  Interface,  then,  upon  receipt  of  HOMI's  written
                  request,  Bartech will immediately  prepare the PMS Interface,
                  of  such   nature   as  to   facilitate   successful   Turnkey
                  Installation at the Site.

9.3      TERMINATION FOR CAUSE

         A.       If HOMI  shall fail to make  timely  payment to Bartech of any
                  sum which it is  obliged  to pay to  Bartech  pursuant  to the

                  receipt of a detailed  written notice from Bartech  warning of
                  such breach,  then Bartech will be entitled to terminate  this
                  Agreement  by means of advance,  written  notice to HOMI,  and
                  this  Agreement  shall  terminate  upon the expiry of 6 months

         B.       If either Party is in breach of this  Agreement (a "DEFAULTING
                  PARTY"),  other than as set forth in Section 9.3a above,  then
                  the other Party (the "PERFORMING  PARTY") shall deliver to the
                  Defaulting Party written notice of said breach,  whereupon the
                  Parties  will use their best  efforts to amicably  resolve the
                  dispute   between   them  and/or  the  breach,   by  means  of
                  discussions to be held between the Parties'  respective  CEOs,

                  then the Performing  Party may deliver a second written notice
                  of breach to the Defaulting Party and, if the Defaulting Party
                  fails to cure said breach  within a period of 60 days from its

                  of termination as may be stipulated in such notice.

9.4      EFFECT OF TERMINATION
         For avoidance of doubt, the termination of this Agreement, for whatever
         reason,  shall  not  have  the  effect  of  terminating,  or  otherwise

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

         assign all, but no less than all, of its rights and  obligations  under
         this  Agreement,  to any wholly  owned  Affiliate,  without  the prior,
         written consent of the other Party.

14.4     ENTIRE AGREEMENT
         This  Agreement  contains the entire  agreement  among the Parties with
         respect  to the  subject  matter  hereof and  supersedes  all prior and
         contemporaneous arrangements or understandings between the Parties with
         respect thereto.

14.5     NO JOINT VENTURE OR PARTNERSHIP
         Nothing  in this  Agreement  shall be  construed  as  creating  a joint
         venture or partnership  between the Parties and neither Party shall act
         as agent or representative of the other for any purpose and independent
         contractor relations alone shall subsist between the Parties under this

         obligations under this Agreement.

14.7     AMENDMENTS, MODIFICATIONS, WAIVERS
         The terms and  provisions  of this  Agreement  may not be  modified  or

         permanently,  except  pursuant to written  instrument  executed by both

         It is the desire and intent of the parties that the  provisions of this
         Agreement be enforced to the fullest extent  permissible  under the law
         and public policies applied in each  jurisdiction in which  enforcement
         is  sought.  Accordingly,  in the  event  that  any  provision  of this
         Agreement would be held in any  jurisdiction to be invalid,  prohibited
         or  unenforceable   for  any  reason,   such  provision,   as  to  such
         jurisdiction,  shall be ineffective, without invalidating the remaining
         provisions   of  this   agreement   or   affecting   the   validity  or
         enforceability of such provision in any  jurisdiction.  Notwithstanding
         the foregoing, if such provision could be more narrowly drawn so as not
         be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable in such jurisdiction, it shall,
         as to such jurisdiction, be so narrowly drawn, without invalidating the
         remaining  provisions  of this  Agreement or affecting  the validity or
         enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

         No  failure or delay on the part of any Party in  exercising  any right
         and/or remedy to which it may be entitled hereunder and/or by law shall
         operate as a waiver by that Party of any right whatsoever. No waiver of
         any  right  under  this  Agreement  shall be  deemed as a waiver of any
         further  or future  right  hereunder,  whether or not such right is the
         same kind of right as was waived in a previous instance.

14.10    GOVERNING LAW AND JURISDICTION
         This  Agreement  shall be deemed to have  been  made and  concluded  in
         France and the construction, validity and performance of this Agreement
         shall be governed by the laws of France  without  giving  effect to the
         conflicts of law principles thereunder.  By their execution hereof, the
         parties  irrevocably  agree to submit all disputes arising hereunder to
         the jurisdiction of the Courts of France.
