the  Distributor  of  the  Covered Products and Spares therein and BARTECH shall
take  all reasonable steps to enable the Distributor to effect such registration
including  (without  limitation)  the  registration of BARTECH at its expense as

solely  by  the  Distributor.  The  Distributor shall permit BARTECH at BARTECH'
expense  to  have  full  conduct  of  all  matters  in  relation  to any alleged

          consent  of  BARTECH;

          dates of sale, delivery and installation, and permit BARTECH immediate
          access  upon  request  to  such records for purposes of inspection and
          copying  of  such  records  (i)  in  the case of any product recall or
          safety  campaign,  or  (ii)  for  the purpose of assuring or providing
          customer service; which right of access shall continue during the term
          of  this  Agreement  and  for  an  additional period of ten (10) years
          following  termination  or  expiration  of  this  Agreement;

          the Territory during the initial term of this Agreement or any renewal
          periods  without  the prior written consent of BARTECH provided that a
          Covered  Product shall not be considered competitive unless it has the
          same  or  an  equivalent  function  and  the  same  or  equivalent
          characteristics,  price  and  use  and  provided  further  that  the
          provisions  of  this  sub-clause  shall  not  apply  in respect of any
          product(s)  currently  supplied  to  the  Distributor  by its existing
          suppliers  as  at  the  date  hereof;

     (n)  Promptly bring to the notice of BARTECH any information received by it
          which  is likely to be of material interest, use or benefit to BARTECH

          in  the  Territory  and  their  marketing  generally;

     (o)  Obtain,  prepare  and  maintain,  at  the  Distributor's  own cost and

     (p)  Supply  such reports, returns and other information relating to orders

          information  required  for  planning  and/or  scheduling production of
          Covered  Products;

     (q)  Refrain from moving or closing any of its Authorized locations without
          the  prior  written  consent  of  BARTECH,  which consent shall not be
          unreasonably  withheld.

     (r)  Not  engage  in  any  activity  which  may  be  deleterious to BARTECH
          Customers  or  to  the  promoting,  marketing, sale and service of all

     (s)  Comply with all terms herein, and the underlying intent and meaning of

5.   DISTRIBUTOR  REPRESENTATIONS,  WARRANTIES  AND  COVENANTS.  Distributor
     represents  to  BARTECH as follows (and covenants that, during the pendency
     of  this  Agreement,  Distributor  will  continue  to  be):

     (a)  Distributor  is  a  corporation duly organized and validly existing in
          good  standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation. No
          provisions  of  the  Distributor's  Certificate  of  Incorporation  or
          By-Laws  (Statute,  or  equivalent  organizational documents), nor any
          provision  or  covenant  of  any  credit or other agreement (including
          security  agreements incident thereto) to which Distributor is a party
          or  by  which  Seller  is  bound  have been or will be violated by the
<PAGE>
          execution,  delivery  and  performance  by  the  Distributor  of  this
          Agreement  or  the performance or satisfaction of any condition herein
          contained  on  its  part  to  be  performed  or  satisfied;

     (b)  This  Agreement  has  been  duly  and validly authorized, executed and
          delivered  by  the  Distributor  and  is the valid and legally binding
          obligation  of  Distributor  enforceable in accordance with its terms;
          and

     (c)  Distributor possesses the requisite work expertise, employee staffing,
          facilities and equipment necessary to perform its duties hereunder and
          is capable of upgrading and improving systems and procedures to remain
          competitive.

6.   AREA  OF  SALES.  Distributor  agrees  that  it  will  not sell the Covered
     Products  directly or indirectly to customers located outside the Territory
     without  the  prior  written approval of BARTECH, which BARTECH may give or
     withhold  in  its  sole  and absolute discretion. If the provisions of this
     Paragraph  6  are or shall be prohibited under the law of any jurisdiction,
     then  such provisions shall not apply in such country and, in lieu thereof,
     Distributor agrees to use its best efforts to promote, sell and service the
     Covered  Products  in  the  Territory  and  further agrees that it shall be
     primarily  responsible  for  servicing  retail  accounts  with  the Covered
     Products  in the Territory and that it shall concentrate its efforts in the
     Territory,  which concentration Distributor acknowledges to be essential to
     proper  sales  and  servicing  efforts.

7.     PLACING  AND  DELIVERY  OF  ORDERS.

     (a)  (i)  The Distributor shall on or before the beginning of each calendar
          quarter  inform BARTECH in writing of its approximate requirements for
          Covered  Products for the next following quarter so that BARTECH shall
          have  at least one quarter's advance notice of such requirements; (ii)
          Orders shall be placed on a firm basis by the Distributor from time to
          time  and  in  accordance  with  such  further  ordering procedures as
          BARTECH  and  the  Distributor  may  agree;  (iii)  All orders for the
          Covered Products shall be governed by the provisions of this Agreement
          and  shall  not  be  modified  by  anything that may be printed on the
          Distributor's  purchase  order.  [BARTECH'  then  current  Standard
          Conditions  of Sale for the relevant Covered Products shall apply save
          that in the event of any inconsistency between such conditions and the
          terms  of this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall prevail.];
          (iv)  No  order for Covered Products shall be binding on BARTECH until
          written  confirmation of that order is received by BARTECH and BARTECH
          has  confirmed  in  writing  that  such  order  is  acceptable.

     (b)  During  the  term  of  this  Agreement  BARTECH  shall  sell  to  the
          Distributor,  in  accordance with the Distributor's orders accepted by
          BARTECH,  the  Distributor's  reasonable  requirements  of the Covered
          Products  but  BARTECH  shall not be liable in any way for any loss of
          trade  or profit or any other loss occurring to the Distributor in the
          event  that  BARTECH  is unable to supply any of the Covered Products.

     (c)  (i)  BARTECH  shall  ship  to the Distributor the Covered Products and
          Spares  in  accordance  with  the orders placed by the Distributor and
          accepted  by  BARTECH as provided in subparagraph 7(a); (ii) Each sale
          shall  constitute  a  separate  contract  and shall be invoiced to the
          Distributor  accordingly.

8.     TERMS.

     (a)  The  price  of  all  Hardware  Products  and the licensing fee for all
          Software  Products shall be the distributor price in Euro in effect at
          the  time  of  shipment,  regardless  of what the price was at time of
          Distributor  order. BARTECH agrees to notify Distributor in writing of
          all  price  changes  and  in  the  event of a price increase agrees at
          Distributor's  option  to  cancel  only  those  unshipped  orders.
<PAGE>

     (b)  Unless  Distributor has qualified for credit, payment in full shall be
          made in advance of shipment. To the extent that BARTECH extends credit
          to Distributor, Distributor grants BARTECH a security interest in such
          Covered  Products  until  full Distributor price has been paid for the
          Covered  Products  shipped  to  Distributor and in the receivables due
          Distributor  in  respect  thereof  and  in all proceeds therefrom, and
          Distributor  further  agrees  to  execute  any financing statement for
          filing  or other similar document as requested or required by BARTECH.
          Distributor's  failure  to pay any amounts when due shall give BARTECH
          the  right  to  possession  and removal of the Covered Products at any
          time upon BARTECH' demand. BARTECH' taking of such possession shall be
          without  prejudice  to  any  other  legal remedy BARTECH may have. All
          collection costs, including legal fees, shall be borne by Distributor.
          BARTECH  reserves the right to withdraw or reduce any credit line when
          in  its  sole  discretion such a withdrawal or reduction is warranted.
          Distributor  agrees  to  pay  interest  on  all  overdue  payments  in
          accordance  with  the  then  current  BARTECH  policy.

     (c)  In  the  event product is sold hereunder to the Distributor on credit,
          all  payment  terms  shall be net thirty (30) days. Service charges in
          the  amount  of  the  lesser  of  1.5% per month or the highest charge
          permitted  under  applicable  law  shall  be imposed by BARTECH on the
          account  of  the  Distributor on all amounts past due. Service charges
          will  continue  to  accrue until the past due balance is liquidated in
          full  by  the  Distributor.

     (d)  In  the event product is sold to Distributor on letter of Credit (LC),
          the  Distributor shall cause a Irrevocable letter of credit (LC) to be
          issued  in  favor  of BARTECH for the payment of orders on the day the
          applicable  bill  of  lading  is  executed.  The  Distributor shall be
          responsible  for  the  payment  of  Irrevocable  LC fees and expenses.

     (e)  All shipments of Covered Products shall be made on an F.O.B. Suresnes,
          France (or such alternative international shipping point designated in
          writing  by  BARTECH)  with  Distributor bearing all freight, duty and
          insurance  charges and all applicable import, sales, use, value added,
          property, excise and any other taxes of any nature whatsoever. BARTECH
          reserves  the  right  to  make any shipment on a freight collect basis
          when  Distributor  is responsible for freight charges and reserves the
          right  to  refuse  to  make  shipments  other  than to a Distributor's
          Authorized  location.

     (F)  All  risk  of  loss  or  damage  to  Hardware  Products  shall pass to
          Distributor  upon delivery in good condition, F.O.B., Suresnes, France
          (or  such  alternative  international  shipping  point  designated  in
          writing  by  BARTECH).

     (G)  Title  to  all Hardware Products shall pass on the date of shipment by
          BARTECH.  BARTECH  shall  retain  all  applicable  rights  to  the
          intellectual  property  in Software Products which, therefore, are not
          subject  to  transfer  of  title. Title to the media on which Software
          Products  are  recorded  shall  pass  to  Distributor  upon  shipment.

     (h)  Subject  to  the  then current BARTECH policy on return items, BARTECH
          will grant credit for return Hardware Products. BARTECH may modify the
          policy  on credits for returns in its sole discretion, but in no event
          more  than twice a year. (But see subparagraph 19(b) in respect of the
          effect  of  the  expiration  or  termination  of  this  Agreement.)

     (i)  An  advance  payment  discount,  as  specified by BARTECH from time to
          time, is offered for any order for which BARTECH receives payment from
          the  Distributor  via wire transfer simultaneously with the order. The
          advance payment must be made via wire transfer of funds to the BARTECH
          account  specified  above  and must take place simultaneously with the
<PAGE>
          placement  of  the order. Such wire transfer must include instructions
          to  the  receiving  BARTECH  bank  to  notify BARTECH immediately upon
          receipt  of  such  funds.

9.     WARRANTY  ON  HARDWARE  PRODUCTS.

     (a)  Except  as  expressly  provided  in  paragraph  11 hereof, no warranty
          condition  or  term (whether express, implied, statutory or otherwise)
          as to the condition, quality, performance, merchantability, durability
          or  fitness for purpose of the Hardware is given or assumed by BARTECH
          and  all  such  warranties,  conditions and terms are hereby excluded.

     (b)  The Distributor agrees to indemnify and hold BARTECH harmless from any
          and all claims for losses or liability by a third party arising out of
          or  related  to  the  business  of  the  Distributor including but not
          limited  to,  the  installations, training or servicing carried out by
          the  Distributor  or  its  affiliates or agents, any misrepresentation
          concerning  Covered  Products made by the Distributor in the promotion
          thereof  (other  than  misrepresentations  comprising the publication,
          disclosure  or  other  dissemination  of  sales,  technical  or  other
          literature originating from BARTECH or relating to information or data
          published,  disclosed  or  otherwise  disseminated,  derived  from
          information  or  data  supplied  to the Distributor by BARTECH) or any
          breach  of  any  representations,  warranties,  covenants,  or  other
          obligations  of  the  Distributor  contained  in  this  Agreement.

10.     MARKETING  OF  SOFTWARE.  Distributor  agrees to the following terms and
conditions  with  respect  to  the  marketing  of  Software  Products:

     (a)  This Agreement shall operate during the current term of the Agreement,
          as  a  license  for  the  Distributor to use the Software Products for
          demonstration,  testing,  support  and  such  other  purposes  as  are
          directly  connected  with  the  implementation  of  this  Agreement;

     (b)  The  Distributor  shall  not modify, amend, add to or in any way alter
          any  Software  Product  supplied  to  it  under this Agreement without
          BARTECH'  prior  written  consent;

     (c)  BARTECH  will  keep  the  Distributor  informed  of any enhancement or
          modification  to  the  Software  Products by BARTECH which affects its
          operation,  performance  or  cost and which BARTECH considers suitable
          for  general  release.  BARTECH  reserves  the  right to introduce any
          substitute software product which it considers will adequately fulfill
          the  same  or  similar  function  as  that  which  it  replaces;

     (d)  All  the  Intellectual  Property  Rights  of  BARTECH  in the Software
          Products  are  and  shall  remain  the property of BARTECH and BARTECH
          reserves  the  right to grant licenses to use the Software Products to
          such other persons and on such terms as it shall think fit, subject to
          the  terms  of  this  Agreement;

     (e)  The  Distributor  agrees to purchase an annual BARTECH License-to-Copy
          software agreement for those BARTECH Software Products License-to-Copy
          is  made  available  for  at  the prevailing International Distributor
          price;

     (f)  Distributor agrees to take any necessary steps to insure that each end
          user  understands  the  meaning  of  the applicable license agreement;
<PAGE>
     (h)  Software  Products  are  currently  made  available under the Software
          Registration Agreement. Distributor agrees that it will secure the end
          user's  signature  on  the  Software  Registration  Agreement prior to
          transferring  the  related  Software  Product(s);  and

     (i)  In  its  discretion,  BARTECH  may  make  available  certain  Software
          Products  to Distributor to market under a license agreement that need
          not  be  signed  by  the  end  user.  Distributor agrees that where an
          unsigned  license  agreement  is  specified,  Distributor  will accept
          return  of  any  unopened Software Product from those end users and in
          such  cases  will refund any license fee paid by the end user. In such
          event,  BARTECH  will  refund  the amounts paid by Distributor for the
          unopened  Software  Product  provided the unopened Software Product is
          returned  to  BARTECH  freight  prepaid.

11.  EXCLUSIVE  WARRANTY  ON  HARDWARE  OR  SOFTWARE  PRODUCTS. BARTECH MAKES NO
     WARRANTY  OR REPRESENTATION, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO THE
     HARDWARE  OR  SOFTWARE,  ITS  QUALITY OR PERFORMANCE. BARTECH DISCLAIMS ANY
     WARRANTY  OF  MERCHANTABILITY  OR  FITNESS  FOR  A  PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE
     HARDWARE  AND  SOFTWARE PRODUCTS ARE SOLD AND LICENSED RESPECTIVELY "AS IS"
     WITHOUT  ANY  EXPRESS  OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO,
     THE  IMPLIED  WARRANTIES  OF  MERCHANTABILITY  AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
     PURPOSE.  THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE HARDWARE
     AND SOFTWARE IS WITH THE DISTRIBUTOR AND END USER. BARTECH DOES NOT WARRANT
     THAT  THE  OPERATION  OF  THE  HARDWARE  OR  THE FUNCTIONS CONTAINED IN THE
     SOFTWARE  WILL  MEET  DISTRIBUTORSHIP'S  OR END USER'S REQUIREMENTS OR THAT
     OPERATION OF THE HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR FREE.
     BARTECH  SHALL  HAVE  NO  LIABILITY  TO  DISTRIBUTOR  OR  END  USER FOR ANY
     INCIDENTAL  OR  CONSEQUENTIAL  DAMAGES  OR ANY OTHER LOSS, DAMAGE OR INJURY
     INCLUDING,  WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY DAMAGES ARISING FROM LOSS OF USE OR LOST
     PROFIT.  The  Distributor  is  prohibited  from  providing  to  customer or
     end-user  any  additional warranty. In the event Distributor extends to the
     end  user  any  express or implied warranty or assumes any other obligation
     whatsoever,  then  Distributor  shall  (i) be solely responsible therefore;
     (ii)  have  no  recourse against BARTECH therefore; (iii) defend, indemnify
     and  hold  BARTECH  harmless  against any claim, loss, judgment or cause of
     action  whatsoever  arising out of, or occasioned by, Distributor's conduct
     including  but  not  limited  to Distributor's extension to end user of any
     express  or  implied  warranty.

12.  DISTRIBUTOR  OWNERSHIP,  MANAGEMENT AND BUSINESS. This Agreement is entered
     into  by  BARTECH in reliance on Distributor's representations as set forth
     in  Exhibit  E regarding its ownership, management and control. Distributor
     agrees  to  give  BARTECH  thirty  (30)  days  prior  written notice of its
     intention to either directly or indirectly sell or transfer, in whole or in
     part,  its  ownership.  No  such change in Distributor's ownership shall be
     made  without  the  prior  written  consent  of  BARTECH.

13.  INDEPENDENT  DISTRIBUTOR;  FRANCHISE  DISCLAIMER.

     (a)  Distributor  agrees  that  it  is  neither  the  agent  of,  nor legal
          representative  of  BARTECH, and has no right or authority to make any
          warranties  or  promises  or  to  incur  any  obligations on behalf of
          BARTECH  and that neither the Distributor nor any of its employees are
          employees of BARTECH. Distributor agrees to indemnify and hold BARTECH
          harmless  from  any  claims, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses,
<PAGE>
          including  reasonable  attorneys'  fees,  arising  from  Distributor's
          conduct,  which  if  true,  would  constitute  a  violation  of  this
          provision.

     (b)  The  Distributor shall be entitled to describe itself as an authorized
          distributor  of  the  Covered  Products  but  shall not be entitled to
          describe  itself  as  agent for BARTECH or in any words indicating any
          relationship  of  agency  existing  between  the  parties.

     (c)  Nothing  in this Agreement shall constitute or be deemed to constitute
          a  partnership  between  the  parties  hereto.

     (d)  BARTECH  shall  not  in  any event be responsible for any statement or
          representation made in regard to any of the Covered Products or Spares
          in  any  sales  literature  or  advertising  material  issued  by  the
          Distributor  (other  than contained in or based directly upon material
          supplied  or  agreed  by  BARTECH),  and  to  the extent that any such
          responsibility  shall  fall  on  BARTECH  as  a  result  of  statutory
          regulations  or  otherwise  the  Distributor  shall  indemnify BARTECH
          against  any  claims  or  demands arising out of any such statement or
          representation.

14.  CONFIDENTIALITY  OF TRADE SECRETS. Distributor agrees that all confidential
     information  received  from  BARTECH,  including  without  limitation  all
     technical information and service manuals, is and shall remain the property
     of  BARTECH  and any and all confidential information of BARTECH may not be
     copied,  reproduced  or  transferred or disclosed without the prior written
     consent  of BARTECH. Distributor shall return at Distributor's expenses all
     confidential  information to BARTECH at BARTECH' request or upon expiration
     or  termination  of  this  Agreement  as  provided  in paragraph 19 hereof.
     Distributor  shall take all necessary and appropriate action to prevent the
     unauthorized  use  or  distribution  of  BARTECH' confidential information.

15.  MAJOR  ACCOUNT  POLICY. BARTECH reserves to itself notwithstanding anything
     to  the contrary herein contained the right to sell Covered Products to any
     corporate  entity,  or any subsidiary or affiliate thereof, even though the
     entity  intends to use Covered Products at a location in the Territory. Any
     such  sales  are  to  be  carefully  coordinated  with Distributor to avoid
     conflicts  with  local  policies  of  Distributor.

16.  DURATION  AND  RENEWAL.

(a)  The  initial  term of this Agreement (the "Initial Term") shall be from the
     date  hereof  until the following December 31, unless earlier terminated in
     accordance  with  the  provisions  of  paragraph  17  or  18.

(b)  Except  as  provided  herein, this Agreement shall be automatically renewed
     after  the  Initial  Term on each January 1 for an additional period of one
     year  unless either party (1) notifies the other not less than three months
     prior  to  the end of any particular term that it does not agree to such an
     automatic  renewal  or (2) terminates this Agreement in accordance with the
     provisions  of  paragraph 17 or 18. The failure of either party to agree to
     such  an  automatic  renewal  shall  not  be  deemed  a  violation  of this
     Agreement. Such automatic renewal shall only apply for two one year periods
     after  the  Initial  Term.

17.  TERMINATION  BY  DISTRIBUTOR.  At  any time, Distributor may terminate this
     Agreement  by giving BARTECH not less than ninety (90) days written notice.

<PAGE>

18.  TERMINATION  BY  BARTECH. At any time, BARTECH may terminate this Agreement
     by  giving  Distributor  not less than thirty (30) days written notice (the
     "Notice  Period")  if:

     (a)  Distributor's account with BARTECH becomes more than 60 days past due,
          provided  however  that,  if  Distributor  makes  full  payment of all
          amounts  due  to  BARTECH during the Notice Period, then the notice of
          termination  shall  be  deemed  to  have  been  withdrawn;

     (b)  (i) Distributor achieves monthly target in no months or only one month
          during  any  six  consecutive month period (regardless of whether such
          six  months encompass one or two Target Years); (ii) Distributor fails
          to  achieve  at  least  75%  of its annual target in any single Target
          Year;

     (c)  Distributor directly or indirectly sells or transfers its ownership in
          whole  or  in  part  without  the  prior written consent of BARTECH as
          required  by  paragraph  12;

     (d)  Distributor provides BARTECH information which is false or misleading;

     (e)  Distributor breaches any of its responsibilities under this Agreement,
          including  failure  not  remedied  within ninety (90) days notice from
          BARTECH,  to carry out the terms of BARTECH' customer service policies
          as  required  by  subparagraph  4  hereof;  or

     (f)  If  the  Distributor  enters  into  liquidation, whether compulsory or
          voluntarily  (otherwise  than  for  the  purpose  of  amalgamation  or
          reconstruction),  or  compounds  with  its creditors or has a receiver
          appointed  for  all  or any part of its assets or takes or suffers any
          similar  action  in  consequence  of  debt.

19.  EFFECT  OF TERMINATION OR EXPIRATION. The termination or expiration of this
     Agreement  shall  not:

(a)  Relieve BARTECH of the obligation from filling orders placed by Distributor
     and  accepted  by BARTECH prior to the effective date of the termination or
     expiration; provided, however, that as a condition precedent to filling any
     such  order, BARTECH may demand that the Distributor pay in advance and pay
     any  amounts  which  might  otherwise  be due to BARTECH prior to shipment;

(b)  Entitle Distributor to any termination or expiration compensation or to any
     other  compensation  for  lost  profits,  goodwill or for any order for the
     sale,  rental,  lease or licensing of Covered Products by BARTECH or any of
     its  authorized  distributors.  The  Distributor shall immediately cease to
     sell  the  Covered  Products  provided that subject to next clause, BARTECH
     will  permit  the  Distributor  to  sell  its existing stock of the Covered
     Products  on  the terms set out in this Agreement which, to that extent and
     for  this  purpose  only,  will stay in force; Nevertheless, BARTECH at its
     sole  option  will  repurchase, at Distributor's option, all or any part of
     Distributor's inventory of new and unused Hardware Products as follows: the
     Distributor shall offer for sale to BARTECH all Products and Spares at that
     time  the  property  of  the  Distributor  and which are not the subject to
     binding  contracts  for  sale.  BARTECH  shall  be  under  no obligation to
     repurchase  all or any of those Covered Products or Spares but shall notify
     its  determination  whether  or not to repurchase any or all of them within
     four  weeks  of the offer being made. The price to be paid for such Covered
     Products  and  Spares shall be a percentage of the Quoted Price paid by the
     Distributor  as  follows:  (1)  75%  for  Product to be returned to BARTECH
     within  twelve  months of delivery; (2) 50% for a Product to be returned to
     BARTECH  between  twelve  and twenty-four months of delivery; (3) 25% for a
     Product to be returned to BARTECH between twenty-four and thirty-six months
     of  delivery. The cost of insurance, packaging, freight and any other costs
<PAGE>
     which  may  be  payable in respect of a returned Product shall be borne (as
     between  the  Distributor  and  BARTECH)  by  the  Distributor and less any
     deduction  determined  by  BARTECH  because  the  Hardware  Products  are
     shop-worn,  incomplete,  obsolete  or  outdated.  BARTECH'  obligation  to
     repurchase  shall  expire  if  Distributor  does not provide BARTECH with a
     written  list of the Hardware Products to be repurchased within thirty (30)
     days  of  the  effective  date  of  the  termination  or expiration of this
     Agreement.  Distributor  agrees  that it shall be responsible for all costs
     and  risks  associated  with  returning any Hardware Products and agrees to
     permit  BARTECH  reasonable  access  for  purposes  of  inspection prior to
     reshipment;  nor

(c)  Relieve  Distributor  of  its  obligation  to  protect  the  confidential
     information  and  trade  secrets of BARTECH under paragraph 14 herein. Upon
     termination  or  expiration of this Agreement, Distributor shall not retain
     and  shall  return  to  BARTECH all BARTECH confidential information in its
     possession  or  control  including  originals and all copies. Upon, or as a
     consequence  of,  termination  or  expiration:

(d)  All outstanding unpaid invoices in respect of the Products and Spares shall
     become  payable in place of the payment terms previously agreed between the
     parties;

(e)  BARTECH  and Distributor each agree not to hire an employee of the other or
     any  person  who  has  been  employed by either party during the previous 6
     months  during  the term of this Agreement and for a period of one (1) year
     following  the  termination  of  the  Agreement  except  by  written mutual
     consent;

(f)  Any  such notice shall be deemed to have been dully received at the time of
     actual  delivery  or when sent by telex or fax or three business days after
     it  was  posted  in  the  manner  provided.

(g)  The  waiver  by  BARTECH of any breach of any terms of this Agreement shall
     not prevent the subsequent enforcement of that term and shall not be deemed
     a  waiver  of  any  subsequent  breach.

20.  INDEMNIFICATION. Distributor agrees that it will indemnify, defend and hold
     harmless BARTECH, its officers, directors, employees, affiliates and agents
     from  any and all losses, claims, damages, expenses and causes of action of
     every nature whatsoever, including attorneys' fees, which are caused solely
     by  the  negligent acts, omissions or intentional wrongdoing of Distributor
     in  connection  with  the performance or non-performance of its obligations
     under  this  Agreement  or  which may arise as a result of a breach of this
     Agreement.

21.  ASSIGNABILITY.  Neither  this  Agreement,  nor  any  right  or  obligation
     hereunder,  is  assignable  by  Distributor, whether by operation of law or
     otherwise,  without  the  prior  written  consent of BARTECH, which consent
     shall  not  be  unreasonably  withheld.

<PAGE>

22.  NOTICES  AND  OTHER COMMUNICATIONS. Unless otherwise provided, every notice
     hereunder  shall be in writing and deemed given when delivered in person or
     when  mailed,  postage prepaid. Notices mailed to Distributor shall be sent
     to  its  principal  place  of  business or any of its Authorized locations.
     Notices  to  BARTECH  shall be mailed to its address first above written to
     the  attention  of:  (1) Vice President of Sales and Marketing; copy to (2)
     Corporate  Secretary.

23.  FORCE  MAJEURE.  BARTECH shall not be liable for any loss, damage, delay or
     other  consequences  resulting  from  causes beyond its reasonable control,
     including,  but not limited to, Acts of God, fire, strikes, labor disputes,
     riot  or  civil  commotion,  acts of war (declared or undeclared), labor or
     material  shortages  or  government  regulations,  orders,  or  decisions.

24.  NON-WAIVER. The failure of either party to enforce any of the terms of this
     Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver or bar to the subsequent enforcement
     of  such  term  or to be a waiver of any other provision of this Agreement.

25.  ENTIRE  AGREEMENT. This Agreement constitutes the parties' entire agreement
     and  may  not  be  amended  except  by  a  writing  signed by both parties.
     Distributor  expressly  represents  to  BARTECH  that no officer, employee,
     representative  or  agent  of  BARTECH  has  made  or entered into any oral
     agreement,  promise  or understanding which alters, expands or modifies any
     of  the  terms  of this Agreement; provided, however, the execution of this
     Agreement  shall  not relieve either party of the obligation to pay for any
     products  or  services  rendered  pursuant  to any previous distributorship
     agreement.  In the case of any inconsistency between this Agreement and any
     other  writing  (manuals,  technical  and  marketing  bulletins, etc), this
     Agreement  shall  govern  unless  such  writing  references this Agreement,
     providing  for  amendment  hereto,  and is executed by both parties hereto.

26.  GOVERNING  LAW.  The  validity,  construction  and  enforceability  of this
     Agreement,  and  all other disputes between the parties arising directly or
     indirectly  hereunder, shall be governed and decided by the laws of France,
     and not including the 1980 UN Convention on Contracts for the International
     Sale  of  Goods.  The  Distributor  agrees  to  submit  to  the  exclusive
     jurisdiction of the Court of Nanterre, France for the resolution of any and
     all  disputes  by  and between the parties hereunder. The Distributor shall
     not in any manner contest the entering of a judgement, order or other court
     ruling  obtained  pursuant  to this Paragraph 26 against the Distributor in
     any  other  court  (including  international  courts)  which  may  have
     jurisdiction  over  the  Distributor.

27.  EXECUTION.  This  Agreement  shall not be effective unless and until it has
     been  executed  by  a  duly  authorized  officer  of  BARTECH.
