export, reexport or disclosure is prohibited by the laws of the United states or
regulations of a Department of the United States.

         Section  18.13.  Familiarity  with Foreign  Corrupt  Practices Act. (a)

of value,  either directly or indirectly,  by a U.S. company to an official of a
foreign  government  for the  purpose of  influencing  an act or decision in his
official  capacity,  or  inducing  him to use his  influence  with  the  foreign

with, or directing business to, any person.  Distributor represents that it will
not take any action which would constitute a violation of the FCPA.
