         non-exclusive  right to market,  sell,  and  distribute  COMPONENTS  to
         CUSTOMERS in the TERRITORY for use in POWER UNITS and TRAILERS.

2.2.     As of  the  date  of  this  AGREEMENT,  SMARTIRE  represents  and  DANA
         acknowledges   SMARTIRE's   representation   that  that   SMARTIRE  has
         previously  entered into  agreements  with third parties related to the
         marketing,  sale and  distribution of COMPONENTS  within the TERRITORY,
         which  agreements may be extended from time to time, which SMARTIRE may
         only  generally  describe,  as  set  for  in  Exhibit  A,  pursuant  to
         SMARTIRE's confidentiality obligations.  Provided that DANA shall be in
         compliance  with this AGREEMENT in all material  respects  specifically
         using reasonable  commercial  efforts to meet the mutually agreed sales
         targets  as set  forth  elsewhere  herein,  during  the  term  of  this
         AGREEMENT,  SMARTIRE  will not:  (i)  except as  permitted  in  current
         agreements  described  in Exhibit A, the term of which may be extended,
         sell directly any COMPONENTS to any new CUSTOMERS in the TERRITORY;  or

                                      -2-
<PAGE>

         (ii) grant rights related to the marketing,  sale and  distribution  of
         COMPONENTS  in the  TERRITORY  to any other third  party.  SMARTIRE may
         request a waiver of DANA's right to market and sell to a particular OEM
         in the  TERRITORY  by giving  DANA  NOTICE.  If DANA does not affirm by
         NOTICE to SMARTIRE, within ten business (10) days after receipt of such
         NOTICE, DANA's intention to market and sell to such OEM, then DANA will
         be deemed to have waived its right to market and sell to such OEM.

2.3.     Notwithstanding Section 2.1, SMARTIRE may continue to provide
         COMPONENTS directly to CUSTOMERS in the TERRITORY under existing part
         numbers, purchase orders and contracts. Subject to mutual agreement
         between Dana and SmarTire, the parties may agree to transfer these
         contracts to Dana providing that the customer is in agreement with this
         transfer, and that mutual pricing terms between Dana and SmarTire can
         be established. These agreements shall not be transferred to a third
         party.

2.4.     SMARTIRE hereby grants to DANA the nonexclusive right to market,  sell,
         and distribute  COMPONENTS to CUSTOMERS  outside the TERRITORY,  or for
         use other than in POWER UNITS and  TRAILERS;  provided  that DANA shall
         give  NOTICE to  SMARTIRE of its  intention  and if  SMARTIRE  does not
         advise DANA of its  rejection of the request  within ten business  (10)
         days after receipt of such NOTICE,  DANA may exercise its rights to the
         extent of the NOTICE and of this AGREEMENT.

2.5.     SMARTIRE  shall  negotiate in good faith with DANA prior to granting to
         any other PERSON  nonexclusive or exclusive rights to market,  sell, or
         distribute COMPONENTS to CUSTOMERS outside the TERRITORY, or for use in
         vehicles other than POWER UNITS and TRAILERS.

2.6.     At the request of either  PARTY,  SMARTIRE and DANA shall  negotiate in
         good faith  regarding  the  expansion  of the  TERRITORY  and/or of the
         markets within the TERRITORY.

2.7.     Throughout the term of this AGREEMENT,  DANA shall not market, sell, or
         distribute any system for wireless tire pressure  monitoring other than
         the  SYSTEMS.  This  covenant  shall not affect in any way DANA's  tire
         pressure control business.

2.8.     Throughout  the term of this  AGREEMENT,  SMARTIRE  shall  not  design,
         develop, manufacture, or sell, any tire pressure control system.

2.9.     The PARTIES  acknowledge and agree that money damages may be inadequate
         to compensate a PARTY for any breach of Section 2.7 or 2.8.  Therefore,
         in the event of any actual or threatened  breach of Section 2.7 or 2.8,
         in addition to any other  remedies  that may be  available at law or in
         equity, the aggrieved PARTY shall be entitled to appropriate  temporary
         and/or permanent injunctive relief.

         DANA in  compliance  with all  specifications  as  agreed  between  the
         PARTIES.

3.2.     SMARTIRE shall make reasonable  commercial  efforts, on a timely basis,

         all relevant factors including, but not limited to, design, technology,
         performance,  features,  quality,  reliability,  service, delivery, and
         cost.

3.3.     SMARTIRE shall use reasonable  commercial efforts to assure that it has
         (or its  suppliers  have)  adequate  production  capacities to meet the
         estimated annual  requirements  provided by DANA. Any estimates are for
         planning purposes only, and are not obligations to purchase COMPONENTS.

3.4.     SMARTIRE shall provide  technical and  application  support to DANA and
         the  CUSTOMERS as agreed  between  SMARTIRE and DANA from time to time.
         Such support shall be at  SMARTIRE's  or CUSTOMER's  expense as agreed.
         SMARTIRE  shall  keep DANA  informed  of any  environmental  or vehicle
         installation  issues  that may  affect  performance  of the  SYSTEM  or
         COMPONENTS  of which  SMARTIRE  is, or should,  through the exercise of
         reasonable diligence, becomes aware.

3.5.     SMARTIRE shall provide  reasonable  amounts of training to DANA's sales
         and service technicians and to CUSTOMERS as agreed between SMARTIRE and
         DANA from time to time.

3.6.     SMARTIRE  shall  provide   prototypes  and  reasonable   quantities  of

         throughout the TERRITORY.

3.8.     The PARTIES will consult each other regularly, at least twice annually
         or as mutually agreed, to review market developments, discuss proposed
         amendments to this AGREEMENT, and to address new opportunities outside
         the TERRITORY, CUSTOMER needs, competing products, production planning,
         COMPONENT developments, COMPONENTS and SYSTEMS developments, COMPONENTS
         and SYSTEMS costs, product performance, warranty, competitiveness,
         sales targets, promotions, advertising campaigns, sales and service
         actions. One of these meetings will be held annually in September.

3.9.     DANA and SMARTIRE  shall mutually  agree on monthly,  quarterly  and/or
         annual sales targets to be achieved by DANA. At any time, if DANA fails
         to meet the mutually  agreed sales  targets,  the parties shall meet to
         discuss the reasons for such failure and mutually  develop a corrective
         action plan which shall  provide for no less than two (2)  quarters for
         DANA to achieve the sales targets. During such a period, SmarTire shall
         be able to provide  increased  sales support to the Customers to assist
         in the attainment of the targets,  and Dana shall provide SmarTire with
         any relevant customer  information  required to assist in this process.
         Provided  DANA shall be meeting  its  obligations  set forth in Section
         3.7,  the failure of DANA to achieve  such sales  targets  will not, by
         itself, be considered  grounds for termination of this AGREEMENT.  DANA
         shall provide  SMARTIRE  with timely sales reports  listing all current
         sales prospects and opportunities for the COMPONENTS and participate in
         conference  calls with  SMARTIRE to discuss  goals and plans to achieve
         the  highest  sales  reasonably  possible.  DANA shall,  at  SMARTIRE's
         reasonable request, provide any information relating to the actual sale
         of  COMPONENTS   including  e-mails,   status  reports,   sales  plans,
         proposals, or related items.

3.10.    If DANA fails to meet it sales targets despite having participated in a
         corrective  action  plan and  having met its  obligations  set forth in
         Section 3.7,  following the second year of the AGREEMENT,  DANA may, on
         sixty (60) days prior written notice in advance of any annual AGREEMENT
         anniversary  date, advise SMARTIRE of DANA's intention to terminate the
         AGREEMENT without cause.

3.11.    SMARTIRE will own, develop and provide technical and training materials
         and,  at  CUSTOMERS'  or  INDEPENDENT  DISTRIBUTORS'  expense,  provide
         marketing   and  technical   counsel  to  CUSTOMERS   and   INDEPENDENT
         DISTRIBUTORS  to  assist  with  the  application  and  installation  of
         retrofit SYSTEMS.

3.12.    DANA will own, develop and provide  reasonable and customary amounts of
         marketing  and sales  materials  for the  SYSTEMS  and  COMPONENTS.  At
         SMARTIRE's  option,  SMARTIRE may develop or fund additional  marketing
         and sales materials.

3.13.    In order to assure mutual  success,  SMARTIRE shall furnish to DANA any
         relevant technical and commercial  information regarding COMPONENTS and
         SYSTEMS, including market leads and competitive market knowledge, which
         might come into  SMARTIRE's  possession,  except through  agreements or
         relationships described in Exhibit A.

3.14.    Each Party shall, in connection with its performance hereunder,  comply
         with all applicable, rules, and regulations.

4.       BRANDING AND TRADEMARKS

4.2.     Subject to the provisions of this AGREEMENT, DANA grants to SMARTIRE
         for the term of this AGREEMENT a non-exclusive license to use the trade
         names, trademarks, logo marks and other similar markings of DANA as
         provided by DANA from time to time or other marks that DANA may
         identify from time to time in writing to SMARTIRE ("DANA MARKS") on
         COMPONENTS and packaging for COMPONENTS that it sells to DANA so long
         as COMPONENTS are manufactured and distributed in accordance with the
         standards, specifications and instructions established and approved by
         DANA. SMARTIRE may not use the DANA MARKS on COMPONENTS or packaging
         for COMPONENTS sold to third parties outside of this AGREEMENT.

4.3.     Upon expiration or termination of this AGREEMENT, SMARTIRE agrees to
         discontinue the use of the DANA MARKS or any mark confusingly similar

         agreeable location, or (b) receive, at SMARTIRE's expense, reasonable
         quantities of samples of SMARTIRE's finished COMPONENTS, packaging,
         labels or advertising bearing the DANA MARKS for the purpose of
         determining that they are of the proper quality. SMARTIRE shall change
         all COMPONENTS, packaging, labels or advertising bearing the DANA MARKS
         that are not approved by DANA.

4.5.     Subject to the provisions of this AGREEMENT, SMARTIRE grants to DANA
         for the term of this AGREEMENT a non-exclusive license to use the trade
         names, trademarks, logo marks and other similar markings of SMARTIRE as
         provided by SMARTIRE or other marks that SMARTIRE may identify from
         time to time in writing to DANA ("SMARTIRE MARKS") on printed material,
         including but not limited to technical materials, brochures, catalogs,
         instruction manuals, advertising, and marketing materials related to
         COMPONENTS and SYSTEMS.

4.6.     Upon expiration or termination of this AGREEMENT, DANA agrees to
         discontinue the use of the SMARTIRE MARKS or any mark confusingly
         similar thereto immediately, not to attempt to register or to use any
         trademark, service mark, trade name, logo, trade dress, or other
         similar marking that in the opinion of SMARTIRE is confusingly similar
         to any SMARTIRE MARKS. DANA agrees that it will destroy all materials
         bearing the SMARTIRE MARKS or remove the SMARTIRE MARKS from web sites

         prior notice, to (a) inspect samples of DANA's packaging, labels or
         advertising bearing the SMARTIRE MARKS at a mutually agreeable
         location, or (b) receive, at DANA's expense, reasonable quantities of
         samples of DANA's packaging, labels or advertising bearing the SMARTIRE
         MARKS for the purpose of determining that they meet quality standards
         and proper use of SMARTIRE MARKS previously defined by SMARTIRE. DANA
         shall change all packaging, labels or advertising bearing the SMARTIRE
         MARKS in a manner not previously approved by SMARTIRE.

5.       PURCHASE ORDERS AND FORECASTS

5.1.     DANA shall issue biweekly  shipping  releases by direct  computer order
         entry,  specifying  the  quantities  of  COMPONENTS,  delivery date and
         delivery location.  Each such release will indicate an twelve (12) week
         rolling  estimate of weekly  volumes,  the last ten (10) weeks of which
         are forecasts for planning purposes and the first two (2) weeks' volume
         requirements  shall be a firm commitment.  The firm orders submitted by
         DANA shall be effective after  confirmation by SMARTIRE.  SMARTIRE will
         use its best  efforts  to  provide  such  confirmation  within  one (1)
         business  day  after  receipt  of the  order.  On  specific  long  lead
         components (greater than six months lead time), DANA will develop a one
         year forecast.  SMARTIRE  shall provide a list of long lead  components
         for DANA's  acknowledgement.  Requests for additions or changes to this
         list shall be  submitted to DANA for approval in writing and include an
         estimate of the associated costs and lead times by component.

5.2.     At any time,  DANA may place an  emergency  order for  COMPONENTS  with
         SMARTIRE.  SMARTIRE shall make reasonable efforts to accept such orders
         and  notify  DANA  within  one (1)  business  day after  receipt of the
         emergency order if it accepts the order. Any incremental costs required
         to fulfill such emergency  order shall be borne by DANA unless the need
         for the emergency order is created by SMARTIRE.

5.3.     In addition to the foregoing,  DANA shall,  twice annually in the first
         (1st) and third (3rd)  quarter of each year give  SMARTIRE a good faith
         estimate of its COMPONENT  purchases  during the next applicable  year.
         These estimates are for planning purposes only, and are not obligations
         to purchase COMPONENTS.

5.4.     If any COMPONENTS are delivered in excess of volumes ordered or in
         advance of schedule, DANA may return them at SMARTIRE's expense or
         retain them and invoice SMARTIRE for any resulting handling and storage
         costs. DANA will not process invoices for COMPONENTS shipped in advance
         of schedule until the scheduled delivery date. DANA may change
         scheduled deliveries at any time by written notice to SMARTIRE and will
         reimburse SMARTIRE for reasonable, documented, unavoidable incremental
         costs incurred by SMARTIRE due to such changes. If SMARTIRE fails to
         deliver any shipment of COMPONENTS in accordance with DANA's
         instructions, DANA may, at its option, cancel the shipment, accept
         partial or delayed delivery.

6.       PRICES AND PAYMENT CONDITIONS

6.1.     SMARTIRE  shall give DANA NOTICE of its price for each COMPONENT at the
         time of execution of this AGREEMENT or, for new COMPONENTS,  as soon as
         the price is  determined.  SMARTIRE may change these prices upon ninety
         (90) days NOTICE to DANA; provided,  however, that SMARTIRE shall honor
         the old price with respect to any binding  commitments DANA has made to
         a CUSTOMER  prior to receiving  NOTICE of the price change.  All prices
         shall be stated in United States dollars.

6.2.     SMARTIRE  warrants that its prices to DANA for the  COMPONENTS  are and
         will remain no less  favorable  than its prices to other  customers for
         the same or comparable goods in comparable quantities and in comparable
         terms of sale.

6.3.     DANA shall mark up SMARTIRE  prices  (excluding  any shipping,  duties,
         handling,  packaging or dunnage charges) by an amount solely determined
         by DANA for resale to CUSTOMERS.

6.4.     Where specific  opportunities  or pricing issues arise with existing or
         potential  CUSTOMERS,  the PARTIES shall  negotiate,  on a case by case
         basis,  in good faith a suitable  pricing  structure  between  DANA and
         SMARTIRE to meet the CUSTOMERS' request.

6.5.     SMARTIRE shall invoice DANA in United States dollars on a regular basis
         upon delivery of COMPONENTS. Payment terms from DANA are net on the
         sixty-second (62nd) day following the date of invoice. All PRODUCTS
         shall be sold Delivery Duty Paid to the delivery point, which may be a
         CUSTOMER location or DANA facility. As such, SMARTIRE is liable for
         paying all costs of transport, insurance, duties and brokerage fees to
         the delivery point. Title and risk of loss shall pass at the delivery
         point.

6.6.     Without  limiting any other  remedies  available to DANA,  DANA has the
         right to offset,  against amounts due to SMARTIRE,  any amounts due and
         payable from SMARTIRE to DANA under this AGREEMENT.

6.7.     All other terms and  conditions of the sale of COMPONENTS to DANA shall
         be in accordance with the terms and conditions of DANA'S purchase order
         as set forth in Exhibit C. To the extent that the terms and  conditions
         of such order are  inconsistent  with or  contradictory  to the express
         terms of this  AGREEMENT,  the  terms of this  AGREEMENT  shall  govern
         without modification by the provisions contained in such order or sales
         terms.

The  following  terms govern the  confidentiality  of  information  disclosed by
either PARTY ("DISCLOSING PARTY") to the other PARTY ("RECEIVING PARTY"):

                                      -8-
<PAGE>

7.1.     RECEIVING  PARTY  shall  restrict  access  to  and  disclosure  of  the
         CONFIDENTIAL  INFORMATION  to its  affiliates  and  suppliers and their
         respective directors,  officers,  employees, and agents who have a need
         to  know  the  CONFIDENTIAL  INFORMATION.  RECEIVING  PARTY  shall  not
         disclose CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION, directly or indirectly, to any other
         PERSON.  RECEIVING  PARTY  shall not use  CONFIDENTIAL  INFORMATION  to
         reproduce,  redesign,  reverse  engineer,  or  manufacture  products or
         equipment of  DISCLOSING  PARTY,  to perform  services  relating to the
         products or  equipment  of  DISCLOSING  PARTY,  or for its own benefit,
         except as expressly provided in this AGREEMENT.

7.2.     RECEIVING   PARTY  may  only  use   DISCLOSING   PARTY's   CONFIDENTIAL
         INFORMATION in accordance with the purpose of this AGREEMENT.  No other
         rights or  licenses  are  granted to either  PARTY in the  CONFIDENTIAL
         INFORMATION.

7.3.     RECEIVING PARTY shall use at least the same high degree of care, but no
         less than a reasonable degree of care, to avoid inadvertent  disclosure
         or unpermitted use of DISCLOSING PARTY's CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION which
         it  employs  with  respect  to  its  own  proprietary  or  CONFIDENTIAL
         INFORMATION and that it does not wish to have  disseminated,  published
         or disclosed.

7.4.     There shall be no restrictions under this AGREEMENT with respect to any
         portion of the  CONFIDENTIAL  INFORMATION,  which  RECEIVING  PARTY can
         establish through documentary evidence:

         a.       was known to RECEIVING  PARTY at the time of its disclosure to
                  RECEIVING  PARTY;

         b.       was or becomes  publicly known through no fault,  wrongful act
                  or omission of RECEIVING PARTY;

         c.       was  received by RECEIVING  PARTY from a third party,  without
                  solicitation,  such third party having a bona fide right to do
                  so, and not having any confidential relationship or obligation
                  to DISCLOSING  PARTY,  and without breach of the  restrictions
                  contained in this AGREEMENT;

         d.       was independently  developed by RECEIVING PARTY without access
                  to DISCLOSING PARTY's CONFIDENTIAL  INFORMATION or a breach of
                  this AGREEMENT;

         e.       was approved for release in writing by DISCLOSING PARTY; or

         f.       was required by law, court order or governmental  agency to be
                  disclosed.  In such cases,  RECEIVING PARTY shall  immediately
                  notify DISCLOSING PARTY that production or disclosure has been
                  ordered,  and to take all reasonable  steps and cooperate with
                  DISCLOSING  PARTY  to  limit  disclosure  of the  CONFIDENTIAL
                  INFORMATION.

7.5.     CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION shall not be deemed to be in the public domain
         merely because any part of such CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION is embodied in
         general  disclosures  or because  individual  features,  components  or
         combinations  thereof  are  now or  become  known  to the  public.  All
         CONFIDENTIAL  INFORMATION  delivered by  DISCLOSING  PARTY to RECEIVING
         PARTY  pursuant to this  AGREEMENT  shall be and remain the property of
         DISCLOSING PARTY unless otherwise provided herein.

                                      -9-

7.6.     The PARTIES do not seek the  confidential  information or trade secrets
         of any third party, and the PARTIES shall not use in the performance of
         this  AGREEMENT  or  disclose  to the  other  PARTY  such  confidential
         information or trade secrets.

7.7.     In any judicial proceeding,  it will be presumed that matters which are
         designated  as  Confidential  or  Proprietary  constitute  CONFIDENTIAL
         INFORMATION,  and that RECEIVING  PARTY will bear the burden of proving
         such matters or information are unrestricted pursuant to Section 7.4.

7.8.     RECEIVING  PARTY is  liable  for any  breach  of this  Section 7 by all
         PERSONS to whom it has disclosed CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.

7.9.     Upon the expiration or termination of this AGREEMENT,  each PARTY shall
         return or destroy  and  certify the  destruction  of the other  PARTY's
         CONFIDENTIAL  INFORMATION  within  thirty  (30)  days of such  request.
         Counsel for each PARTY is  entitled to keep one copy in a  confidential
         file as evidence of the disclosure.

8.       QUALITY ASSURANCE, PRODUCT APPLICATIONS and PACKAGING

8.1.     SMARTIRE or its  suppliers  shall  manufacture  or assemble  COMPONENTS
         according  to its  normal  quality  assurance  procedures  and  TSI6949
         standards so as to ensure  COMPONENTS'  conformity  with the applicable
         engineering drawings and specifications.  SMARTIRE shall submit to DANA
         a  written  summary  of  its  quality  assurance  plan  and,  prior  to
         initiating the supply of COMPONENTS to DANA,  shall furnish  inspection
         data to show adherence to such plan.

8.2.     Prior to  making  any  subsequent  modifications  to its  manufacturing
         process or quality  system,  SMARTIRE  shall  furnish to DANA a written
         summary  of its  revised  quality  assurance  plan,  together  with the
         applicable inspection data.

8.3.     Any changes to  COMPONENTS or their  specifications  are subject to the
         prior written agreement of the PARTIES and, if required, the CUSTOMER.

8.4.     At DANA'S request, SMARTIRE shall provide ongoing evidence of
         conformance to SMARTIRE'S quality assurance plan and TSI6949 standards
         in the form of a certification from SMARTIRE'S quality department.
         SMARTIRE shall also permit DANA or its designee at reasonable times and
         on reasonable notice to audit SMARTIRE'S quality assurance procedure
         and review pertinent inspection records at the manufacturing and
         assembly locations of SMARTIRE and its suppliers. The PARTIES agree to
         work toward the objective of SMARTIRE becoming a qualified supplier
         pursuant to DANA'S supplier quality requirements.

8.5.     SMARTIRE shall develop approval guidelines for acceptable  applications
         and  installations of COMPONENTS with regard to wheel  installation and
         signal  integrity within 60 days after validation of any COMPONENTS and
         may  revise   the  same  from  time  to  time  to   reflect   COMPONENT
         modifications, COMPONENT packaging modification or additional COMPONENT
         configurations, upon agreement by the PARTIES.

8.6.     DANA shall approve COMPONENT  applications and installations  which are
         within the limits of the  guidelines  referred  to in Section  8.5.  In
         those cases where an  application or  installation  does not conform to
         the standard conditions,  DANA shall request SMARTIRE'S  assistance and
         SMARTIRE will respond to such request by approving or disapproving  the
         proposed application within ten (10) days.

8.7.     The  engineering  departments  of  SMARTIRE  and  DANA  shall  maintain
         information on approved  applications and  installations of COMPONENTS.
         DANA  shall be  responsible  for the  communications  of  CUSTOMER  and
         applications and installation approval or disapproval to its CUSTOMERS.
         DANA shall promptly notify SMARTIRE regarding such communications.

8.8.     The PARTIES  will  mutually  agree upon  COMPONENT  packaging  prior to
         initial deliveries.

9.       WARRANTY & LIABILITY

9.1.     SMARTIRE shall provide DANA with SMARTIRE's express warranty with
         respect to the SYSTEMS and COMPONENTS, a copy of which is attached as
         Exhibit B and made an integral part hereof. DANA shall pass the
         aforesaid SMARTIRE warranty on to its CUSTOMERS, and SMARTIRE shall
         fully honor this warranty. SMARTIRE shall have no obligation to honor
         any warranty obligations--with respect to the SYSTEMS and
         COMPONENTS--which are in addition to those obligations set forth on
         Exhibit B, except to the extent that DANA and SMARTIRE shall previously
         have agreed otherwise.

9.2.     Decisions on warranty claims made against DANA for COMPONENTS shall be
         made by DANA in its reasonable discretion. DANA shall use reasonable
         commercial efforts to justify all such warranty claims. If SMARTIRE
         disagrees with DANA'S decisions on these warranty claims, the PARTIES
         shall negotiate an agreeable settlement within a reasonable period.
         DANA shall provide SMARTIRE with adequate written documentation in
         support of all warranty claims for COMPONENTS that are submitted to
         SMARTIRE by DANA. DANA will invoice SMARTIRE at quarterly intervals for
         all warranty payments made by DANA against COMPONENTS and payment will
         be made by SMARTIRE within thirty (30) days of determination of
         settlement.

                                      -11-

9.3.     If a recall,  service  campaign or similar action is required by law or
         regulation, or if any such action is ordered by any governmental agency
         with  respect to  COMPONENTS,  then to the extent  permitted  by law or
         regulation,  the PARTIES shall negotiate in good faith to determine the
         corrective  actions to be taken,  the costs of which  shall be borne by
         the PARTIES in proportion to their  respective  responsibility  for the
         alleged defect.

9.4.     SMARTIRE shall be liable to DANA hereunder for: (a) the  replacement of
         all  defective   COMPONENTS;   and  (b)  reimbursement  for  reasonable
         removal/installation  costs, as well as for all other  reasonable costs
         incurred by DANA or its  customers  to perform the  corrective  action,
         excluding  internal handling and  administrative  costs and any mark-up
         normally  accruing  to  DANA or its  customer  in the  distribution  of
         service parts.

9.5.     Each PARTY shall defend (as provided in Section 9.6 below), indemnify
         and save harmless the other PARTY, its directors, officers and
         employees and agents, from any and all actual and alleged costs,
         expenses, claims, suits, damages and liabilities (collectively "LOSS")
         based upon injury or death to persons or damaged property, to the
         extent such LOSS is caused by or arises out of or in connection with a
         claim, suit or proceeding brought by a third party based on a) any
         negligent or wrongful act or omission of the other PARTY, its supplier,
         or their respective employees, agents or representatives in the
         performance of this AGREEMENT; and b) in the case of SMARTIRE to DANA,
         any defects in the design, material and/or workmanship of COMPONENTS.

9.6.     Where the cause of the LOSS is the negligence, fault or other breach of
         duty of both  DANA  and  SMARTIRE  or a third  party's,  the  liability
         therefor shall be allocated,  reallocated or prorated,  as the case may
         be,   between   the  PARTIES   hereto  and  any  other  party   bearing
         responsibility in accordance with their percentage of negligence, fault
         or other breach of duty in causing  such LOSS and the  liability of the
         indemnifying PARTY proportionately reduced. Each PARTY shall notify the
         other  within  fifteen  (15) days  after  receipt of  knowledge  of any
         accident involving  COMPONENTS and shall fully cooperate with the other
         in the  investigation  and  determination  of  the  cause  of any  such
         accident.  The furnishing of information and  investigation  by a PARTY
         shall in no manner  constitute  or be  construed  as an  assumption  of
         liability by such party. The foregoing  indemnification  obligations in
         Sections  9.5  and 9.6  are  conditioned  upon  the  indemnified  PARTY
         promptly notifying the indemnifying PARTY in writing of the claim, suit
         or proceeding for which the indemnifying PARTY is obligated under these
         Sections,   the  indemnified  PARTY  cooperating  with,  assisting  and
         providing information to, the indemnifying PARTY as reasonably required
         and at the indemnifying  PARTY's expense, and granting the indemnifying
         PARTY the  exclusive  right to defend or  settle  such  claim,  suit or
         proceeding.

9.7.     SUBJECT TO THE INDEMNIFICATION OR WARRANTY OBLIGATIONS, IMPOSED UPON
         EACH PARTY PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT, IN NO EVENT SHALL THE LIABILITY
         OF EITHER PARTY OR THEIR RESPECTIVE SUBSIDIARIES, EMPLOYEES, DIRECTORS
         OR OFFICERS, TO THE OTHER PARTY PURSUANT TO THIS CONTRACT, WHETHER
         ARISING IN CONTRACT OR IN TORT, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY (BUT
         EXCLUDING WILLFUL MISCONDUCT) BE THE GREATER OF IN AGGREGATE (i) THE
         AMOUNT PAID BY DANA TO SMARTIRE IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE
         CLAIM OR CIRCUMSTANCES FIRST GIVING RISE TO THE EVENT OR (ii) THREE
         MILLION DOLLARS ($3,000,000).

                                      -12-
<PAGE>

         EACH  PARTY  HEREBY  RELEASES  THE OTHER  PARTY  AND ITS  SUBSIDIARIES,
         EMPLOYEES,  DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS FROM ANY LIABILITY IN EXCESS OF SUCH
         AMOUNT.  THIS  SECTION  SHALL  PREVAIL  AND  TAKE  PRECEDENCE  OVER ANY
         CONFLICTING OR INCONSISTENT PROVISIONS IN THE CONTRACT. NOTHING IN THIS
         AGREEMENT  SHALL LIMIT EITHER PARTY'S  LIABILITY TO THE OTHER PARTY FOR
         BODILY INJURY OR DEATH CAUSED BY THE INDEMNIFYING  PARTY'S  NEGLIGENCE.
         THIS LIMITATION OF LIABILITY IS CUMULATIVE AND  NOT PER-INCIDENT (I.E.,
         THE EXISTENCE OF TWO OR MORE CLAIMS WILL NOT ENLARGE THIS LIMIT.)

         NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, IF EITHER PARTY IS SUED BY A THIRD PARTY
         IN ANY COURT FOR  DAMAGES  FOR REASON OF THE ACTS OR  OMISSIONS  OF THE
         OTHER PARTY  INCLUDING  BUT NOT LIMITED TO CLAIMS  RELATED TO WARRANTY,
         INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY INFRINGEMENT OR PRODUCTS LIABILITY, TO THE EXTENT
         SUCH LAWSUIT RELATES TO THE ACTS OR OMISSIONS OF THE OTHER PARTY,  SUCH
         OTHER PARTY SHALL DEFEND SUCH ACTION (OR CAUSE THE SAME TO BE DEFENDED)
         AT ITS OWN EXPENSE AND SHALL PAY AND DISCHARGE ANY JUDGMENT THAT MAY BE
         RENDERED  IN SUCH  ACTION.  IF SUCH OTHER PARTY FAILS OR NEGLECTS TO SO
         DEFEND IN SAID  ACTION,  THE  PARTY  SUED MAY  DEFEND  THE SAME AND ANY
         EXPENSES,  INCLUDING  REASONABLE  ATTORNEYS'  FEES, WHICH IT MAY PAY OR
         INCUR IN DEFENDING  SAID ACTION AND THE AMOUNT OF ANY JUDGMENT WHICH IT
         MAY BE REQUIRED TO PAY SHALL BE  REIMBURSABLE BY THE OTHER PARTY TO THE
         EXTENT  SUCH  LAWSUIT  RELATES  TO THE ACTS OR  OMISSIONS  OF THE OTHER
         PARTY.

         SMARTIRE  shall maintain  product  liability  insurance,  with coverage
         amounts no less than USD $25,000,000,  with a reputable insurer,  which
         policy shall name DANA as an additional insured.

9.8.     Each PARTY  represents and warrants that it has the right to enter into
         this  AGREEMENT,  and that entry into this AGREEMENT will not result in
         the  breach  or  violation  of or  constitute  default  under any other
         AGREEMENT,  statute, court order, judgment, rule or regulation,  court,
         regulatory  authority or  government  body to which the such PARTY is a
         party or bound.

                                      -13-
<PAGE>

9.9.     Each PARTY represents and warrants that it will not make any agreements
         or  assignments  with or in  favor  of any  third  party,  which  would
         conflict  with or  render it  unable  to  comply  with its  obligations
         hereunder.

9.10.    Except for  liability  arising  out of or in  connection  with death or
         bodily  injury,  the  tort  of  deceit  or  where  it is not  otherwise
         permissible  under  applicable  law to exclude  liability,  in no event
         shall either PARTY,  its respective  affiliates,  officers,  directors,
         employees,  agents or suppliers be liable for any special,  incidental,
         indirect or consequential  damages,  or lost revenue,  lost profits, or
         lost or damaged  data,  whether  arising in contract,  tort  (including
         negligence),  or otherwise, even if such PARTY has been informed of the
         possibility thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, damages arising out
         of or in connection  with amounts  owing under the express  obligations
         under Section 9.5, Section 9.7, third paragraph and Section 10.5, shall
         not be considered  consequential in nature  regardless of their form or
         origin.

9.11.    This Section 9 shall survive the expiration and/or  termination of this
         AGREEMENT.

10.      INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY MATTERS

10.1.    All  DISCOVERIES  authored,  made,  conceived or reduced to practice by
         DANA or for DANA by a third  party for  DANA's  benefit,  prior to this
         AGREEMENT,  will remain the property of DANA. All DISCOVERIES authored,
         made, conceived or reduced to practice from time to time solely by DANA
         or solely for DANA by a third party for DANA's benefit, during the term
         this  AGREEMENT and after its  termination  will remain the property of
         DANA.

10.2.    All  DISCOVERIES  authored,  made,  conceived or reduced to practice by
         SMARTIRE or for SMARTIRE by a third party for SMARTIRE'S benefit, prior
         this AGREEMENT,  will remain the property of SMARTIRE.  All DISCOVERIES
         authored,  made,  conceived  or reduced to  practice  from time to time
         solely  by  SMARTIRE  or  solely  for  SMARTIRE  by a third  party  for
         SMARTIRE'S  benefit,  during the term of this  AGREEMENT  and after its
         termination will remain the property of SMARTIRE.

10.3.    The  PARTIES  anticipate  that  they may  engage  in one or more  joint
         product development or co-development  projects in the future involving
         the PARTIES and potentially one or more CUSTOMERS.  Prior to commencing
         any such  project,  the PARTIES and any  participating  CUSTOMERS  will
         negotiate  in  good  faith  and  enter  into  a   comprehensive   joint
         development agreement for such project.

10.4.    SMARTIRE  represents  and  warrants  that all  COMPONENTS  it furnishes
         hereunder  are free of  encumbrances  or claims,  that SMARTIRE has the
         right to convey ownership of COMPONENTS to DANA.

                                      -14-
<PAGE>

10.5.    Subject to the following provisions of this Section, SMARTIRE shall, at
         its own  expense,  indemnify,  hold  harmless,  defend or at its option
         settle any claim,  suit or proceeding  brought against DANA or CUSTOMER
         which is based on an allegation  that any  COMPONENTS or any components
         thereof sold and supplied to DANA under this  AGREEMENT  constitute  an
         infringement of a patent issued within the TERRITORY,  design right, or
         copyright,  constitutes  a misuse or  misappropriation  of  proprietary
         information,   or  violates  another  form  of  intellectual   property
         ("CLAIM").  This  obligation  shall be  effective  only if  SMARTIRE is
         notified  promptly  in writing  and given  authority,  information  and
         assistance (including, without limitation, making available to SMARTIRE
         such  documents  and  witnesses  as are within the control of DANA,  at
         DANA'S  expense)  for the  defense of such claim,  suit or  proceeding.
         SMARTIRE  shall pay all damages  (compensatory  or punitive),  attorney
         fees,  and costs  awarded in such suit or  proceeding  so  defended  or
         payable as a result of any settlement  which  SMARTIRE  enters into. If
         any COMPONENTS or any components thereof furnished hereunder become the
         subject of any CLAIM and a settlement  or an  adjudication  establishes
         that such  COMPONENTS or components  thereof do in fact infringe such a
         patent,   design  right,   or   copyright,   constitutes  a  misuse  or
         misappropriation of proprietary  information,  or violates another form
         of  intellectual  property or if the use or sale of such  COMPONENTS or
         components  thereof is enjoined,  SMARTIRE  shall,  at its own expense,
         either:

         a.       procure for DANA and  CUSTOMERS  the right to  continue  using
                  such COMPONENTS or components thereof;

         b.       replace   such   COMPONENTS   or   components   thereof   with
                  non-infringing  COMPONENTS  or components  thereof  reasonably
                  acceptable to DANA and CUSTOMERS; or

         c.       modify  such  COMPONENTS  or  components  thereof  in a manner
                  reasonably acceptable to DANA and CUSTOMERS so such COMPONENTS
                  or components thereof become non-infringing.

Notwithstanding  the  foregoing,  SMARTIRE  shall have no liability  for a CLAIM
arising from:

         a)       the  combination,  operation,  or use of a COMPONENT  supplied
                  under this Agreement with any product, device, or software not
                  supplied  by or  through  SMARTIRE  to the extent the CLAIM is
                  based on the combination;

         b)       the alteration or  modification  of any  COMPONENTS  except as
                  authorized by SMARTIRE;

         c)       SMARTIRE's compliance with DANA's designs, specifications,  or
                  instructions; and,

         d)       DANA or  CUSTOMER's  use of the COMPONENT  after  SMARTIRE has
                  informed DANA of  modifications  or changes in the  COMPONENTS
                  required  to avoid  such a CLAIM if the  alleged  infringement
                  would  have  been  avoided  by  implementation  of  SMARTIRE's
                  recommended  modifications or changes where such modifications
                  or changes have been provided to DANA at no additional charge.

                                      -15-

                  Center for Public Resources.

         c.       Mediation.   The  PARTIES  will  jointly  appoint  a  mutually
                  acceptable  mediator,  seeking  assistance in such regard from

                  Resolution  if they  have  been  unable  to  agree  upon  such
                  appointment  within twenty (20) days after one PARTY has given
                  the other NOTICE of its intent to invoke mediation.

         d.       Participation.  The PARTIES shall participate in good faith in
                  the mediation and  negotiations  related thereto for a minimum
                  period of thirty (30) days after the initial  meeting with the
                  mediator.  If the PARTIES are not  successful in resolving the
                  dispute  through the  mediation,  then either PARTY may pursue
                  other available remedies. Sections 11.4 and 11.5 shall survive
                  the expiration or other termination of this AGREEMENT.

Limitation of Liability

SMARTIRE'S   OBLIGATIONS  AND  PURCHASER'S  REMEDIES  UNDER  SMARTIRE'S  EXPRESS
WARRANTY ARE LIMITED TO SMARTIRE'S  CHOICE OF REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT  AND EXCLUDE
LIABILITY  FOR  INCIDENTAL,   SPECIAL,   CONSEQUENTIAL  OR  ANY  OTHER  DAMAGES,

Effective Date

This  warranty  shall  become  effective  October 1, 2005,  and applies  only to
Product sold in the United States and Canada.  This warranty supersedes all past
warranties expressed by SmarTire and may not be changed,  altered or modified in
any way except in writing by SmarTire.

Part Return Requirements

Be sure the parts are properly identified.

      a.    Clearly  print the RMA  number on the bill of  lading  and  shipping
            container.

      b.    If parts for more than one claim are shipped all together,  list all
            claim  numbers on the bill of lading or  provide a detailed  packing
            list. This will ensure proof of shipment for a specific claim if the
            parts are lost.

      c.    When shipping parts for several  different claims  together,  do not
            mix the parts in the same  container,  box,  etc.  This could  cause
            confusion  in  performing  a  failure  analysis,  a delay  in  claim
            processing, and possible rejection of the claim.

      d.    Package the parts  carefully  to avoid  shipping  damage which could
            distort or mask the true cause of the failure.

      e.    Return all parts collect,  per SmarTire  approved carrier and to the
            correct  designated  location.  Failure to return requested parts to
            designated SmarTire location may result in rejection of the claim.

      f.    Parts  lost  from  broken  boxes,   damaged   shipping   containers,
            negligence  in   packaging,   or  returned   without   proper  claim
            identification,  may  result in no  reimbursement  for the parts not
            received and shall be the responsibility of the dealer.

<PAGE>

      g.    Corrosion  or rust that  prevents  proper  inspection,  or  prevents
            identification  of the  primary  failure,  may  result in a rejected
            claim.

      h.    Rejected / Non-SmarTire Parts will be returned to dealer at dealer's
            expense.

                           ORDER TERMS AND CONDITIONS

1.  CONTRACT.  Notwithstanding  the terms and  conditions on any purchase  order
("Order") issued by DANA pursuant to this AGREEMENT, the terms of this AGREEMENT
including  this  Exhibit B shall  govern  with  respect  to DANA's  purchase  of
COMPONENTS  from SMARTIRE.  No additional or different terms proposed by DANA on
any  Order or by  SMARTIRE  in its  acknowledgement  shall be  binding  upon the
parties.  The terms of this AGREEMENT shall apply,  regardless of any additional
or conflicting  terms on any Order,  acknowledgement  or otherwise  submitted by
either party,  and any such additional or conflicting  terms are deemed rejected
by the other party.  Captions in these Terms are for  convenience  only. For the
purposes  of  this  Exhibit,  Seller  shall  mean  SMARTIRE;  Goods  shall  mean
COMPONENTS.

2.  ASSIGNMENT.  Seller may not assign or  subcontract  this Order or any of its
rights or obligations  hereunder,  other than the right to assign any amount due
which shall be freely  assignable,  without Dana's prior written consent and any
purported assignment in violation of this provision will be void.

3. PACKING AND SHIPMENT.  Seller will pack and ship the Goods in accordance with
Dana's  instructions,  furnish all  shipping  documents  required  by Dana,  and
plainly mark Dana's name and the Order number on all packages and documents.

4.  INSPECTIONS.  Dana may inspect and/or test the Goods at any time, at its own
expense,  and Seller  will make its  premises  available  for this  purpose  and
provide any necessary assistance at no charge.  However, no inspections or tests
by Dana will relieve Seller of any of its obligations  hereunder relating to the
Goods.  If Dana finds any Goods to be  defective or not in  conformity  with its
specifications or requirements,  it may return them for a refund of the purchase
price, or require Seller to repair or replace them.

5.  HAZARDOUS  MATERIALS.  Seller  warrants  that  it  will  properly  classify,
describe,  package,  mark, label and provide any necessary  Material Safety Data

templates,  gages and the like that Dana  provides  to Seller or pays  Seller to
make or buy for use in performing  this Order  (collectively,  "Tooling") are at
all times the personal property of Dana or Dana's customer,  as the case may be.
Dana will not be obligated to pay for such Tooling, if applicable,  until Seller
has provided  Dana with an itemized  list and adequate cost records for the same
and Dana has  accepted  the  Tooling or the first run of Goods  manufactured  or
assembled therewith. If Seller fails to provide adequate cost records, Dana will
be not be  obligated  to pay more  than the fair  market  value of the  Tooling,
regardless of the Tooling purchase price set out in the Order. While the Tooling
is in its  possession  or custody,  Seller will be  responsible  for any loss or
damage to the Tooling and for all taxes, assessments, and similar charges levied
with  respect to or on it.  Seller  will label the  Tooling in  accordance  with
Dana's instructions to permit accurate identification and will segregate it from
other  tooling in  Seller's  possession  to the extent  practicable.  At its own
expense,  Seller will repair and maintain  the Tooling,  keep it in good working
condition,  and replace it when necessary for any reason,  including normal wear
and tear.  Seller will use the  Tooling  exclusively  to produce

cancellation, or termination of this Order, Seller will hold the Tooling and any
operation sheets,  process data, or other information necessary to show its use,
at no  charge,  pending  receipt  of Dana's  instructions  about its  removal or
disposition,  which will be at Dana's expense.  Seller acknowledges that Dana or
Dana's customer, as the case may be, has title to and all rights in the Tooling,
all  accessories  and attachments  thereto,  all  substitutes  and  replacements
therefor and all proceeds therefrom.  Seller authorizes Dana or Dana's customer,
as applicable,  or their agents, on Seller's behalf and as its attorney-in-fact,
to prepare,  sign and file such Uniform Commercial Code financing statements and
amendments  thereto and similar  documents  as they deem  necessary  to evidence
their ownership of the Tooling.

7. TRADE CREDITS,  COUNTRY OF ORIGIN. All trade credits, export credits, customs
drawbacks,  tax and fee rebates and the like  relating to this Order will belong
to Dana.  Seller  will  cooperate  with Dana in  obtaining  these  benefits  and
credits.  Seller will furnish  Dana and its  designees  with such  documentation
establishing  the country of origin and value of the Goods as Dana may  request,
including,  as applicable,  affidavits of manufacture and NAFTA  certificates of
origin.

8. INSURANCE.  Seller will maintain,  at its own expense,  the following minimum
insurance  coverages with insurers  satisfactory to Dana: (i) statutory workers'
compensation;  (ii) employer's liability in the amount of U.S. $5 million; (iii)
commercial  general  liability  (including   products/completed  operations  and
contractual  liability  coverage) in the amount of $5 million  bodily  injury or
property damage per occurrence;  and (iv) automotive  liability (covering owned,
non-owned,  and hired  vehicles)  in the amount of $5 million  bodily  injury or
property  damage per  accident.  Such  coverages  can be provided  under primary
and/or excess policies. In addition, where applicable,  Seller will maintain all
risk property coverage (including transit) and theft coverage for Goods, whether
or not owned by Dana,  which have been  ordered  hereunder  and which are in the
care, custody,  or control of Seller, its agents, or contractors,  and any other
insurance coverages that Dana deems appropriate. On the acceptance of this Order
and each subsequent renewal of its insurance coverages, Seller will furnish Dana
with  certificates of insurance  evidencing  such  coverages,  naming Dana as an
additional  insured where deemed  appropriate  by Dana,  and  requiring  written
notice  to Dana at  least  15  days  prior  to the  cancellation,  reduction  or
non-renewal  of  coverage.  Compliance  with these  provisions  will not relieve
Seller of its  defense and  indemnity  obligations  under  Paragraph  19.  These
obligations  will survive the  expiration or  cancellation  of this Order to the
extent  necessary  to  cover  acts or  events  arising  in  connection  with the
performance of the Order.

9. ALLOCATION.  If Seller is unable,  at any time, to supply the entire quantity

work-in-process  and finished Goods that cannot be canceled  without  penalty or
sold in the general trade, not to exceed the volumes specified in this Order (if
a spot Order) or in any open releases hereunder (if a blanket Order) and payable
only after Dana's receipt of the same.

(or provides  assurances  of  performance  acceptable to Dana) within the 15-day
notice  period.  Dana may cancel  this Order  immediately  by written  notice to
Seller without liability or further obligation  hereunder (i) if Seller fails or
refuses to furnish Dana promptly with such  information  and  assurances as Dana

            terms  contained in any  SmarTire  Purchase  Order,  Acknowledgment,
            invoice or any other  document  that is not clearly an  amendment to
            this Agreement signed by both Parties.

      8.4.  SmarTire  may not  cancel any  Purchase  Orders or  re-schedule  the
            quantity  of  Products  and/or  Delivery  Date  within  thirty  (30)

            or any  portions of the  scheduled  Product  delivery  upon  written
            notification to Vansco on the following schedule:

            (a)   From  thirty-one (31) to sixty (60) calendar days prior to the
                  scheduled Delivery Date,  SmarTire may reschedule out not more
                  than  fifty  percent  (50%) of the  quantity  of Product to be
                  shipped  up to  thirty  (30)  calendar  days of the  scheduled
                  Delivery Date. The balance of the rescheduled Products must be
                  shipped  within thirty (30) days of the  rescheduled  Delivery
                  Date.

            (b)   From  sixty-one (61) to ninety (90) calendar days prior to the

                  shipped  up to  ninety  (90)  calendar  days of the  scheduled
                  Delivery Date.

            (c)   In the event that SmarTire  desires to increase  quantities of
                  Products  scheduled  for delivery  beyond thirty (30) calendar
                  days of the  scheduled  Delivery  Date;  Vansco  will  use its
                  commercially  reasonable  efforts to  accommodate  the desired
                  increases.  Each of the  foregoing may be subject to a Premium
                  Charge to be determined on a case-by-case  basis,  and subject
                  to SmarTire's prior written approval.

      8.5.  Cancellation

            SmarTire may cancel any order,  more than ninety (90)  calendar days
            from the  scheduled  Delivery  Date  upon  written  notification  to
            Vansco.  Upon  written  notice from  SmarTire,  Vansco shall use its
            commercially reasonable efforts to:

            (a)   Return  Inventory for the cancelled  order to the suppliers or
                  otherwise  utilize  any such  Inventory.  In the event  Vansco
                  cannot return Inventory to the suppliers,  or cannot otherwise
                  utilize or cancel future orders, SmarTire shall pay;

                  i)    Vansco's cost of all Inventories  that are in Vansco' or
                        its  subcontractor's  possession as of the  cancellation
                        date  and  are  not  returnable  to  the  suppliers  and
                        SmarTire shall have title to those Inventories or,

                  ii)   The supplier's restocking fees, if any, up to 20% of the
                        cost of the Inventories for Inventories  returned to the
                        suppliers.

            (b)   Cancel  Vansco's order  for such  Inventory.  SmarTire  is not
                  obligated to pay Vansco for  Inventories  that are returned or
                  materials that are cancelled at no cost to Vansco.

Vansco shall provide  SmarTire with  documentation  to support all such charges.
SmarTire  authorizes  Vansco to bill any such costs within  sixty (60)  calendar
days  of  SmarTire's  notification  of  cancellation.  Inventories  that  become
unusable  because  of a  SmarTire  ECO  shall be  treated  in a like  manner  as
Inventories that become unusable because of cancellation, as noted above.

                                      -5-

9.    Delivery

      9.1.  Vansco  shall use its  commercially  reasonable  efforts to meet the

            of manufacture.  In the event that the destination is to a different
            end  location,  SmarTire  and  Vansco  shall  agree  on  appropriate
            shipping insurance,  custom charges, duties, taxes or other expenses

            allowed without  SmarTire's  consent,  and the customer's consent to
            such price change.

18.   Cost Reduction

Vansco will use  commercially  reasonable  efforts to implement a cost reduction
strategy to reduce product price by 3% year on year.  Cost  reductions  based on
collaborative efforts will be equally shared by the parties. It is agreed by the
parties  that the  optimum  manner in  achieving  cost  reduction  is  bilateral
information  sharing in  relation to costs  associated  with  materials,  labor,
equipment, and manufacturing processes.

Meetings will be held at least twice per year to review documented current costs
and to discuss recommendations to reduce manufacturing costs and improvements to
supply agreements (material costs).

20.   Testing Failures

SmarTire  agrees to pay Vansco for assemblies or Products that are  manufactured
according to the Specifications,  which nevertheless experience testing failure,
despite the  reasonable  efforts of the Parties and after  fifteen (15) minutes'
engineering debug time per board, to resolve such failures. Vansco will maintain
a list of such Products that  identifies  each Product and describes the mode at
which it  failed.  This  listing  is to be  reviewed  and  reconciled,  at least
monthly,  by the Parties.  In the event of such  failures,  both  parties  shall
provide their commercially reasonable efforts to analyze the parts that have not
passed test and take corrective actions to avoid excessive scrap situations.

                  SmarTire,
            ii)   consigned Inventory

27.   SmarTire Property

Any tooling  and/or  equipment  supplied by SmarTire  ("SmarTire  Property")  or
developed or procured by Vansco at SmarTire's expense, shall remain the property
of SmarTire and shall:

to SmarTire,  normal wear and tear excepted.  Upon  SmarTire's  request,  Vansco
shall deliver all SmarTire  Property to SmarTire in good condition,  normal wear
and tear  excepted,  without  cost to  SmarTire  (exclusive  of freight  costs);
SmarTire  shall  determine  the manner and  procedure for returning the SmarTire

29.   Termination

This  Agreement  may be  immediately  terminated  by either Party for cause,  by
written notice, upon the occurrence of any of the following events.

      (a)   If the other party  ceases to do business,  or otherwise  terminates
            its business operations; or

      (b)   If the other party breaches any material provision of this Agreement
            and fails to cure such breach  within  sixty (60)  calendar  days of
            written notice describing the breach.  The failure of Vansco to meet
            on-time  deliveries  will be considered as a material breech of this
            Agreement and provide  grounds for  termination  by SmarTire,  if in
            SmarTire's  sole  opinion,  Vansco has not  provided  SmarTire  with
            corrective action to eliminate future occurrences; or

      (c)   If the other party becomes  insolvent or seeks  protection under any
            bankruptcy,   receivership,   trust  deed,  creditors   arrangement,
            composition or comparable  proceeding,  or if any such proceeding is
            instituted against the other.

If this  agreement is  terminated  based on  subsection  (c) then section 6 "OEM
Customers"  will  survive  provided  that  the  requirements  of  section  6 are
fulfilled.

30.   Effect of Termination

Upon  termination of this Agreement,  the obligations of either Party that exist
pursuant to  Sections  6, 8.4,  8.5,  19, 22 to 24  inclusive,  26, 27, 31 to 36
inclusive,   38  and  44  will   survive  in   accordance   with  their   terms.
Notwithstanding the foregoing,  Vansco shall continue to fulfill, subject to the
terms of this  Agreement,  all Purchase Orders and ECO's accepted by it prior to
the effective date of  termination.  Remedies for all breaches  hereunder  shall
also survive termination of this Agreement.

31.   Liability Limitation

As the sole  remedy  and  liability  for any breach of the  representations  and
warranties in Section 23,  SmarTire  agrees to indemnify  Vansco and hold Vansco
harmless  from and  against any and all claims,  losses,  liabilities,  damages,
expenses  and costs  (including  reasonable  attorney's  fees and  court  costs)
awarded   against   Vansco,   that   result  from  a  breach  of  any  of  these
representations and warranties or incurred in the settlement or avoidance of any
such claim.  This indemnity shall not apply if (i) Vansco fails to give SmarTire
reasonable  notice  of any  such  claim or  threatened  claim  and such  failure
materially prejudices SmarTire, or (ii) SmarTire is not given the opportunity to
participate  in the  defense or  settlement  or (iii)  Vansco  does not  provide
reasonable  assistance to SmarTire for the defense and  settlement of the claim.
Furthermore,  if SmarTire  assumes such control,  the legal fees and  litigation
expenses of the  attorneys it  designates  to assume  control of the  litigation
shall be for the sole account of SmarTire.

35.   Confidentiality

      35.1. SmarTire Confidential Information.

      Information  of SmarTire  including,  but not limited to,  trade  secrets,
      know-how,  inventions  (whether  patentable or not), ideas,  improvements,
      materials,  data,  specifications,   drawings,   processes,  results,  and
      formulae  and all other  business,  technical  and  financial  information
      ("Confidential  Information")  shall be the  confidential  information  of
      SmarTire.  In  particular,  but without  limitation,  the  Specifications,
      software,   functional  test  systems,   testing   processes  and  Product
      components  delivered  to Vansco  by  SmarTire  shall be the  Confidential
      Information of SmarTire.  Vansco shall, at all times, both during the Term
      and for a period of two (2) years after any termination of this Agreement,
      keep  in  confidence  as  a  fiduciary  all  of  SmarTire's   Confidential
      Information  received  by  it.  Vansco  shall  not  use  the  Confidential
      Information of SmarTire other than as expressly  permitted under the terms
      of this Agreement or by a separate  written  agreement.  Vansco shall take
      reasonable steps to prevent  unauthorized  disclosure or use of SmarTire's
      Confidential  Information  and to prevent it from  falling into the public
      domain or into the possession of  unauthorized  persons.  Vansco shall not
      disclose  Confidential  Information  of  SmarTire  to any person or entity
      other than its officers, employees,  consultants and subsidiaries who need
      access  to  such   Confidential   Information  in  order  to  perform  its
      obligations  under  this  Agreement  and who  have  entered  into  written
      confidentiality  agreements which protect the Confidential  Information of
      SmarTire.

      35.2. Exception to Confidential Information

      Information  that is in or  (through  no  improper  action or  inaction of
      Vansco or any affiliate, agent or employee) enters the public domain shall
      not be Confidential  Information hereunder.  Without granting any right or
      license,  the Parties agree that the obligations set forth in Section 35.1
      above,  shall  not  apply  to the  extent  that  Confidential  Information
      includes  information  which (i) was rightfully in its possession or known
      by it prior to receipt from the disclosing  Party,  or (ii) was rightfully
      disclosed to it by another person without restriction,  or (iii) developed
      independently   by  either  Party   without  use  of  the  other   Party's
      Confidential Information, or (iv) is disclosed pursuant to the requirement
      of a court,  or other  governmental  body,  provided the  receiving  Party
      provides notice of such court order to the disclosing  Party to enable the
      disclosing  Party to seek a  protective  order  or  otherwise  prevent  or
      restrict such disclosure.

36.   Equitable Relief

Each  party  acknowledges  and  agrees  that  due to the  unique  nature  of the
Confidential Information,  there can be no adequate remedy at law for any breach
of the  obligations  under  Section 35 and that such breach may allow  Vansco or
third Parties to unfairly compete with SmarTire resulting in irreparable harm to
SmarTire. Therefore, upon any such breach or threat of breach, SmarTire shall be
entitled to appropriate equitable relief in addition to whatever remedies it has
at law. Vansco agrees to notify SmarTire in writing immediately upon learning of
any unauthorized release or breach of its obligation of nondisclosure hereunder.

37.   Force Majeure

Neither Party shall be liable for its failure to perform any  obligations  under
this Agreement if such performance is prevented or delayed due to fires, floods,
earthquakes, wars, military or police actions, Acts of God, governmental laws or
regulations or any other similar circumstance beyond the control of the Parties.

38.   Governing Law

This  Agreement  shall  in  all  respects  be  governed  by and  constructed  in
accordance  with the laws of the  Province  of  British  Columbia,  Canada.  The
remedies set forth in this Agreement are cumulative and not exclusive and are in
addition  to any other  rights  and  remedies  in law or equity  which  might be
available to the parties.

39.   Assignability

Vansco  shall not assign  its  rights or  delegate  its  obligations  under this
Agreement,  in  whole  or in  part,  including  by  operation  of  law,  without
SmarTire's prior written consent,  provided however, that Vansco may assign this
Agreement to an affiliate or to a related entity.

40.   Amendment and Waiver

Except as otherwise  expressly  provided herein, any provision of this Agreement
may be amended and the  observance  of any  provision of this  Agreement  may be
waived (either generally or in any particular instance and either  retroactively
or  prospectively)  only with the  written  consent of an officer of each Party.
However,  it is the intention of the Parties that this  Agreement be controlling
over additional or different terms of any Purchase Order, confirmation,  invoice
or similar document, even if accepted in writing by both Parties.

41.   Notice

Notices under this Agreement shall be sufficient only if personally delivered by
a major rapid  delivery  courier  service or mailed by certified  or  registered
mail,  return receipt requested to a Party at its address first set forth herein
or as amended by notice  pursuant to this  subsection.  If not received  sooner,
notice by mail  shall be deemed  received  five (5) days  after  deposit  in the
Canadian mail.

42.   No Waiver

No waiver of any term or condition of this Agreement will be valid or binding on
either Party unless the same will have been  mutually  assented to in writing by
an officer of each Party. The failure of either Party to enforce at any time any
of the  provisions  of the  Agreement,  or the  failure  to  require at any time
performance by the other Party of any of the provisions of this Agreement,  will
in no way be construed to be a present or future waiver of such provisions,  nor
in any way affect the  ability  of either  Party to enforce  each and every such
provision thereafter.

43.   Severability

If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal or unenforceable,  that
provision  shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum  necessary so that this
Agreement shall otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable.

44.   Entire Agreement

UNDERSTANDING  OF  THE  PARTIES  RELATING  TO  THE  SUBJECT  MATTER  HEREIN  AND
