1.2 Scope

1.2.1 Introduction
MACHINETALKER will adapt their MachineTalker(R)  product family of wireless mesh
networking   processors  for  placement  on-board  of  shipping  containers  and
materials,  inventory, packages or other similar items in transit and storage to
provide for  tracking of those items.  Specifically,  the  MiniTalker(R)  and/or
TagTalker(R)  products will be tested in conjunction  with KBR  requirements  to
determine choice of radio,  battery and methods for mounting within the Shipping
containers and materials.

1.2.2 Background
The tracking or finding of items will bring  significant  economic savings while
minimizing the problem of loss of valuable contents due to theft or spoilage.

1.2.3 KBR Project
The Project will involve the coordinated  effort of systems  personnel from both
MACHINETALKER  and  KBR.  The   MACHINETALKER   staffing  will  include  systems
engineering  personnel  to  formulate  how  MachineTalker's(R)  will be  adapted
physically  and what new  Applications  Software  is to be  created  to meet KBR
requirements.  KBR  staffing  will  include  those who will  specify  aspects of
shipping processes,  what is to be detected, what actions will be taken, what is
to be reported, and how it is to be reported.

Subsequently,   the  MACHINETALKER  team  will  test  variations  of  the  basic
MachineTalker(R)  product to optimize performance in KBR specified  environment.
MACHINETALKER will implement  Applications  Software to service sensors,  accept
cargo  information and to report in the manner specified for use by KBR tracking
system software.

The end result is to equip the items with the means for  tracking  and  security
and  to do so in  concert  with  KBR  tracking  system.  The  Project  tasks  to
accomplish  this goal are tied to  "milestones"  as  expressed  below and in the
Project Schedule and Payment  Deliverable  Chart.  Each  deliverable  shall also
include  submission of a written report  addressing the goal of the deliverable,
the status of each goal and an assessment of the progress of the project.

1.2.4 Project Specifics
Task #1 - All hands  meeting(s)  among  Project  team  members  to  discuss  and
determine all operational issues to be resolved by the use of on-board means for
security  and  tracking.  The  result  of these  meetings  will be to  publish a
task-oriented schedule and guidelines for testing,  evaluation and specification
for the  requisite  Applications  Software  to fulfill  the stated  goals of the
Project.  MACHINETALKER  shall  prepare and submit a written  report which shall
summarize the findings of the all hands meeting,  including but not  necessarily
limited to, the specification for the end product and its interfaces.

Task #2 - Test and  evaluation  of the  insertion of wireless  products into the
shipping   container   environment.   These  tests  will  be   conducted   using
off-the-shelf   MiniTalkers(R)   to  evaluate   operation  at  different   radio
frequencies and in different container locations and configurations.  The result
of these tests will be to find the  optimum  radio  frequencies  and the optimum
mounting  locations  within  the  Shipping   containers  and  materials.   Radio
frequencies  which are  prohibited  for use by the U.S.  Government  will not be
considered. MACHINETALKER shall prepare a written report upon completion of this
Task  #2  and,  in  conjunction   with  the  report,   submit  a   manufacturing
specification for the production  hardware  configuration  for KBR MiniTalker(R)
unit.

<PAGE>

Task #3 -  Codification  of KBR freight  tracking  and  inventory  software  I/O
language   (protocol)   desired  by  KBR  Project  team.  This  codification  is
anticipated  to  be  the  foundation  of  the  data  content  being  sent  by  a
MACHINETALKER network or by individual shipping containers and materials, to KBR
tracking  and  control center. MACHINETALKER  shall  prepare  a  written  report
summarizing  this  progress  and  accomplishments  made under  this  deliverable
including the specification of the required format.

Task #4 - Selection of sensors and  detectors  that will be used on-board of the
shipping  containers and materials and that will be serviced by KBR - MiniTalker
version.  MACHINETALKER  engineers  will  experiment  with and test the proposed
sensing  devices to ensure that their output  parameters  can be serviced by the
wireless  node.  Consideration  shall be given  to the  type of  sensor,  sensor
output, power requirements and packaging. MACHINETALKER shall prepare and submit
a report which will include a specification  on implementing the sensor hardware
and the  Applications  Software to support  each sensor type and provide for the
range of sensor types and their relative  physical  attributes  along with draft
information about their use.

Task #5 - Finalization of the design of the end-product  including  hardware and
software documentation to build units to meet KBR requirement,  field testing of
the first production units with the Applications Software and,  incorporation of
changes  that will  improve the end  product.  MACHINETALKER  shall  prepare and
submit an initial report that, at minimum,  includes a Bill of Materials for the
manufacture of units in quantity, a summary of Applications  Software changes to
improve  operation in the field and incorporates  detailed results of testing in
the field. MACHINETALKER shall prepare a final report that summarizes the issues
of operating  wireless  sensors  on-board  Shipping  containers  and  materials,
descriptions of the  form-fit-and  function,  details on  installation,  use and
maintenance, methodology for determining placement of sensors and wireless nodes
on or within  containers and guidelines for use of different types of sensors of
interest to shipping and maintenance personnel.

1.2.5 Go-No-Go Decision

As  expressed  in Section  1.2.6  below,  KBR,  on or about Week 14, at its sole
discretion,  shall  determine if the project will proceed.  Election to continue

<PAGE>

5. MACHINETALKER as Independent Contractor.
As an independent contractor under this Agreement,  and not an employee or agent
of KBR,  MACHINETALKER  is not  authorized  to and  will not  commit  KBR to any
obligation,  and MACHINETALKER  will receive no vacation  accrual,  holiday pay,
paid sick leave, insurance, or any other benefits afforded employees of KBR. All
taxes,  Social Security  payments,  and other such related  charges  relative to
MACHINETALKER's Services shall be solely MACHINETALKER's responsibility.

6.       Performance of the Services.

6.1  MACHINETALKER's  Services  will  be  performed  at  MACHINETALKER's  office
location,  KBR  Arlington,  Virginia  and/or  other  locations  to  be  mutually
agreed-upon in writing between KBR and  MACHINETALKER.  KBR is interested in the
results obtained through the use of  MACHINETALKER's  Services,  rather than the
manner in which MACHINETALKER's  Services are performed.  While MACHINETALKER is
expected to devote the amount of effort  reasonably  required  to  complete  the
assignments  given to  MACHINETALKER  within the financial and time  constraints
attendant to each  assignment,  the number of hours worked  during any given day
and  the   particular   days  that   MACHINETALKER   works  will  be  solely  at
MACHINETALKER's   discretion   except  where   interface   with  KBR  or  client
representatives is required.  MACHINETALKER understands and agrees that, for any
Services  performed on KBR's  premises or that of a customer or supplier of KBR,
that it will comply with any and all rules and regulations pertaining to health,
safety,  environmental,  or security,  specifically,  KBR's  policies  regarding
substance  testing for any persons  performing work under contract to KBR on KBR
premises.

6.2  EXCEPT  FOR  EXISTING   BUSINESS   RELATIONSHIPS  AS  NOTED  IN  EXHIBIT  4
MACHINETALKER agrees not to accept any other representation appointment,  not to
enter into a relationship  with any person,  firm or corporation with respect to
projects  which may be  competitive  with or conflict with the interests of KBR.
KBR,  however,   acknowledges  that  MACHINETALKER   provides   MachineTalker(R)
products, consulting, and development services to other clients, and agrees that
nothing  hereunder  shall be deemed or construed to prevent  MACHINETALKER  from
carrying on such business or developing for itself or others  materials that are
not  competitive  with  those  produced  as a result  of the  Services  provided
hereunder,  irrespective  of  their  similarity  to  the  deliverables  provided
hereunder.

6.3 License to Use.
In  addition  to  the  SMMP(R)  license   agreement   executed  by  the  parties
incorporated  as  Exhibit  6 to  this  Agreement  and to  the  extent  that  any
MACHINETALKER   Information,   as  defined  below,  is  incorporated   into  the
Applications  Software,  MACHINETALKER  will  grant  an  exclusive,  non-royalty
bearing,  worldwide and perpetual license to use such MACHINETALKER  Information
under  this  Agreement  in the area of  container  and  inventory  security  and
tracking. Nothing in this Section 6.3 shall be deemed to permit KBR to disclose,
provide access to, sublicense, disassemble, decompile, reverse engineer, modify,
create  derivative  works of, or transfer any  MACHINETALKER  Information to any
third party,  except to a subsidiary or  affiliate,  with a need to know without
the prior, written consent of MACHINETALKER.

7. No Subcontracting.
It is  understood  that  this  Agreement  is  for  Services  to be  rendered  by
MACHINETALKER  personally. In no event shall Services requested of MACHINETALKER
hereunder be rendered by any other person without KBR's prior written approval.

8.1 Confidentiality
MACHINETALKER  agrees to keep  confidential  and not disclose to any third party
nor  use  except  in  connection  with  MACHINETALKER's  Services  for  KBR  all
information  concerning  KBR,  including  but not limited to the  existence  and
content of this  Agreement,  KBR's Services,  the business  affairs or technical
data or processes of KBR, or its customers,  made available to  MACHINETALKER by
KBR in the course of  MACHINETALKER's  Services to KBR, except to the extent KBR
authorizes  disclosures  in writing.  All memoranda,  notes,  and documents made
available to  MACHINETALKER  by KBR will remain the property of KBR and shall be
returned to KBR upon completion of the Services or termination of the Agreement.

KBR agrees that in conjunction  with the Project  described in the Agreement KBR
may receive or be privy to information  that is confidential  and proprietary to
Consultant.  Such Confidential  Information can include,  but is not limited to,
the business plans,  business  associations or proprietary technical information
of the  Consultant.  Except  as  developed  for  KBR  during  the  Project,  all
memoranda,  notes,  and documents made  available to KBR by the Consultant  will
remain the  property of the  Consultant  and shall be returned to the Consultant
upon completion of the Services or termination of the Agreement.

If either MACHINETALKER or KBR receives from the other party written information
which is marked "Confidential" or "Proprietary",  the receiving party agrees not
to use such  information  except in the  performance of this  Agreement,  and to
treat such  information  in the same  manner as it treats  its own  confidential
information for a period of Five (5) years from the date of disclosure.  Without
limiting  the  foregoing,   it  is  agreed  that  all   communications   between
MACHINETALKER and KBR relating to bidding,  testing,  or sales activities are to
be confidential.  However, MACHINETALKER's and KBR's obligations above shall not
apply with respect to any Confidential Information which:

     A.) (i) is already  rightfully in the  possession of the Party;  (ii) is or
becomes  publicly  available  through no wrongful act of either Party;  (iii) is
rightfully  received by the Party from a third party  without an  obligation  of
confidentiality to the other Party; (iv) is disclosed to a third party by either
Party  without   restriction;   or  (v)  is  approved  for  release  by  written
authorization of the disclosing Party.
     B.) Is or becomes generally available to the public other than by reason of
a breach by either of the PARTIES of its obligations under this Agreement; or
     C.) Is compelled by court order to disclose, provided that disclosing Party
(i) provides to the other Party a reasonable period prior to disclosure  written
notice of all  circumstances  pertaining  to the proposed  disclosure,  and (ii)
cooperates  reasonably  with any  attempt  by  other  Party  to  obtain  or file
pleadings with respect to any protective  judicial order limiting or prohibiting
the disclosure of such Confidential  Information  except to the extent necessary
for the purposes of the proceeding in which the disclosure order arose; or Other
Party agrees that the confidential information can be disclosed to a third party
under a  non-disclosure  agreement  with that  party,  for the sole  purpose  of
preparing proposals,  marketing,  sales, and other activities reasonably related
to disclosing  Party's overall  business  strategy in the area of  applications,
systems,  or  solutions  that  track  inventory,  containers  and other  similar
packages,  where such final purpose is the sale of, and  implementation  of, the
Licensed Products.

General Policy Regarding Laws and Business Conduct

         The Code of Business  Conduct of  Halliburton  Company (the  "Company")
consists of the policies  relating to the ethical and legal standards of conduct
to be followed by Directors,  employees and agents of the Company in the conduct
of its business.  The Code of Business Conduct applies to all Company Directors,
employees and agents and all Company  activities  throughout  the world,  except
where specifically indicated.

         It is the policy of the Company to comply  with  applicable  law.  Some
Company  policies are based on the requirements of applicable law and others are
just good ethics and  business  sense.  The Company is  organized  under  United
States law and its securities are publicly  traded.  This means that the Company
is primarily  governed by United  States law, and that United States law applies
to some of the Company's business outside the United States.

         The Company does business in many countries  around the world and, as a
good business  citizen,  we must observe the applicable laws of the countries in
which the  Company  does  business.  Sometimes  there is a conflict  between the
United States law and the law of one of the other countries in which the Company
operates.  In these  situations  the Company will resolve the conflict  with the
advice and counsel of the Law Department.

         It is the personal  responsibility of each Company  Director,  employee
and agent to observe the standards of conduct and other requirements of the Code
of Business  Conduct  whether or not these standards and  requirements  are also
imposed by law. Any  Director,  employee or agent who does not comply with these
standards and requirements is acting outside the scope of his or her employment,
responsibilities or agency.

         The  underlying  formal  policies  themselves  have more detail than is
contained in this booklet.  It is the responsibility of each Director,  employee
or agent to  familiarize  himself or herself with the details of the policies of
the Company that apply to his or her assigned  duties.  If an employee wishes to
refer to the complete policies summarized in this booklet, they are available in
electronic and written form. If a Director,  employee or agent has any questions
about the policies  summarized in this booklet, he or she should contact the Law
Department.

Reference: Corporate Policy 3-0001

<PAGE>
                           Ethical Business Practices

         Company policy requires Directors, employees and agents to observe high
standards  of business  and  personal  ethics in the conduct of their duties and
responsibilities.  Directors and employees  must practice fair dealing,  honesty
and  integrity  in every  aspect of dealing with other  Company  employees,  the
public, the business community, shareholders,  customers, suppliers, competitors
and government authorities.  When acting on behalf of the Company, Directors and
employees shall not take unfair  advantage  through  manipulation,  concealment,
abuse of privileged  information,  misrepresentation of material facts, or other
unfair-dealing practices.

         Company policy prohibits  unlawful  discrimination  against  employees,
shareholders,  Directors,  officers,  customers or suppliers on account of race,
color, age, sex, religion or national origin.  All persons shall be treated with
dignity and respect and they shall not be  unreasonably  interfered  with in the
conduct of their duties and responsibilities.

         No Director or employee  should be misguided by any sense of loyalty to
the Company or a desire for profitability that might cause him or her to disobey
any  applicable  law  or  Company  policy.  Violation  of  Company  policy  will
constitute  grounds  for  disciplinary  action,   including,  when  appropriate,
termination of employment.

Reference: Corporate Policy 3-0001

Sensitive Transactions

         Company  policy  prohibits  its  Directors,  employees  and agents from
entering into sensitive transactions.  If such a transaction occurs, the Company
and its officers,  Directors and employees  directly  involved may be subject to
fines, imprisonment and civil litigation.

         The term "sensitive  transactions" is commonly used to describe a broad
range of business dealings generally considered to be either illegal, unethical,
immoral  or to  reflect  adversely  on  the  integrity  of  the  Company.  These
transactions are usually in the nature of kickbacks, gifts of significant value,
bribes  or  payoffs  made to  favorably  influence  some  decision  affecting  a
company's business or for the personal gain of an individual. These transactions
may result in violation of various laws,  including  the United  States  Foreign
Corrupt Practices Act (the "FCPA") and similar laws of other countries.

<PAGE>

     Company  policy  and the  FCPA  prohibits  the  Company  and its  officers,
Directors,  employees and agents from corruptly  offering or giving  anything of
value to:

         o        An  official,  including  any  person  acting  in an  official
                  capacity  for a  government  outside  the United  States or an
                  official of a public international organization;
         o        A political  party  official or  political  party  outside the
                  United States; or
         o        A candidate for political office outside the United States;

directly or indirectly,  for the purpose of  influencing  any act or decision of
these  officials  in their  official  capacity or in  violation  of their lawful
duties or to secure any improper  advantage in order to help the Company  obtain
or retain business or direct business to any person.

         Employees of government  owned companies such as national oil companies
are considered to be government officials.

         Company  policy  prohibits any Director,  employee or agent from making
any payment or engaging in any transaction that is prohibited by the FCPA.

         This policy does not prohibit  properly made and recorded  facilitating
payments.  Sometimes  the  Company  may be  required  to  make  facilitating  or
expediting  payments  to a low level  government  official  or  employee in some
countries  other than the United States to expedite or secure the performance of
routine  governmental  action  by the  government  official  or  employee.  Such
facilitating  payments  may not be illegal  under the FCPA and  similar  laws of
other  countries.  Nevertheless,  it may be  difficult  to  distinguish  a legal
facilitating  payment from an illegal  bribe,  kickback or payoff.  Accordingly,
facilitating  payments must be strictly controlled and every effort must be made
to eliminate or minimize such payments. Facilitating payments, if required, will
be made only in accordance with the advance guidance of the Law Department.  All
facilitating  payments must be recorded  accurately as facilitating  payments in
the accounting records of the Company.

Reference: Corporate Policy 3-0005

Commercial Bribery

         Company policy prohibits commercial bribes, kickbacks and other similar
payoffs and benefits paid to any suppliers or customers.

<PAGE>

         Directors,  employees and agents are also  prohibited  from  receiving,
directly or  indirectly,  anything of a  significant  value  (other than salary,
wages or other  ordinary  compensation  from the Company) in  connection  with a
transaction entered into by the Company.

         Bribery of suppliers or customers  includes any payment for the benefit
of any representative of the supplier or customer. It includes:

         o        Gifts of other than nominal value;
         o        Cash payments by Directors,  employees or third per-sons, such
                  as agents or consultants, who are reimbursed by the Company;
         o        The  uncompensated  use of  Company  services,  facilities  or
                  property, except as may be authorized by the Company; and
         o        Loans, loan guarantees or other extensions of credit.

         This policy does not prohibit  expenditures  of reasonable  amounts for
meals and  entertainment  of suppliers and  customers  which are an ordinary and
customary business expense,  if they are otherwise lawful.  Expenditures of this
type should be included on expense  reports and approved under standard  Company
procedures.

Reference: Corporate Policy 3-0006

Accounting Controls, Procedures and Records

         Applicable  laws and Company  policy  require the Company to keep books
and  records  that  accurately  and  fairly  reflect  its  transactions  and the
dispositions of its assets.  In addition,  the Company must maintain a system of
internal  accounting  controls that will ensure the  reliability and adequacy of
its books and  records.  Failure  to meet such  requirements  may  constitute  a
violation of law.

         To satisfy  these  requirements,  the Company  has adopted  policies to
ensure that only proper transactions are entered into by the Company,  that such
transactions  have  proper  management  approval,  that  such  transactions  are
properly  accounted  for in the books and  records of the  Company  and that the
reports  and  financial   statements   of  the  Company  are  timely   prepared,
understandable and fully,  fairly and accurately reflect such transactions.  All
Directors and employees  having any  responsibility  for such  functions must be
familiar  with the  Company's  policies,  accounting  controls,  procedures  and
records and must comply with their requirements.

Reference: Corporate Policy 3-0004
<PAGE>

Use and Disclosure of Inside information

         The laws of the United States and many other countries regulate the use
and  disclosure of inside  information  concerning  the Company.  Information is
"inside  information"  if it has not been  publicly  disclosed.  The Company has
policies  (based in part on such  laws)  concerning  the use and  disclosure  of
inside information.

         Company policy prohibits  disclosure of material inside  information to
anyone other than persons  within the Company  whose  positions  require them to
know such information.

         Company policy also prohibits  trading in the securities of the Company
by any employee while in the possession of material  inside  information.  If an
employee  or agent has inside  information  he or she must wait until the end of
business on the second  business  day after the  information  has been  properly
disclosed to the public before trading in the securities of the Company. Company
policy  also  prohibits   providing  inside  information  to  other  persons  or
recommending  that  they buy or sell the  Company's  securities  on the basis of
inside  information.  More  restrictive  rules apply to certain  key  employees,
officers and Directors.

         A  Director,  employee or agent  shall not trade in the  securities  of
another  company if, in the course of his or her employment or position with the
Company, he or she learns confidential information about such other company that
is likely to affect the price of such securities.

         Company Directors, employees and agents are discouraged from short term
speculation in the securities of the Company.

         It is  Company  policy  that no  preferential  treatment  be given with
respect to disclosure of inside information.  The Company has adopted procedures
to avoid improper preferential disclosures.

Reference: Corporate Policy 3-0008

Confidential or Proprietary Information

         Company  Directors,  employees and agents often learn  confidential  or
proprietary  information  about the  Company or its  customers.  Company  policy
prohibits Directors,  employees and agents from disclosing or using confidential
or  proprietary  information  outside the Company or for personal  gain,  either
during or after employment,  without proper written Company  authorization to do
so. An unauthorized  disclosure could be harmful to the Company or a customer or
helpful to a competitor.

<PAGE>

         The Company also works with  proprietary  data of customers,  suppliers
and joint venture  partners.  This is an important  trust and must be discharged
with the greatest care for the Company to merit the continued  confidence of its
customers,  suppliers and joint venture partners. No Director, employee or agent
shall  disclose  or use  confidential  or  proprietary  information  outside the
Company without Company authorization, nor shall any Director, employee or agent
disclose such information to other employees except on a need-to-know basis.

Reference: Corporate Policy 3-0009

Conflicts of Interest

         Company  policy  prohibits  conflicts  between  the  interests  of  its
Directors  or  employees  and  the  Company.  A  complete   definition  of  what
constitutes  a conflict  of interest is  difficult.  There are some  situations,
however, that will always be considered a prohibited conflict of interest. These
situations  occur  when a Director  or  employee  or any  person  having a close
personal relationship with the Director or employee:

o     Obtains a significant financial or other beneficial interest in one of the
      Company's suppliers,  customers or competitors without first notifying the
      Company and obtaining  written approval from the Chief.  Executive Officer
      or his or her designee;
o     Engages in a  significant  personal  business  transaction  involving  the
      Company  for  profit or gain,  unless  such  transaction  has  first  been
      approved in writing by the Chief Executive Officer or his or her designee;
o     Accepts money, gifts of other than nominal value,  excessive  hospitality,
      loans,  guarantees  of  obligations  or other special  treatment  from any
      supplier,  customer  or  competitor  of the Company  (loans  from  lending
      institutions at prevailing interest rates are excluded);
o     Participates  in any  sale,  loan  or  gift of  Company  property  without
      obtaining  written approval from the Chief Executive Officer or his or her
      designee;
o     Learns of a business  opportunity through association with the Company and
      discloses  it to a third  party or  invests  in or takes  the  opportunity
      personally without first offering it to the Company;
o     Uses  corporate  property,  information, or position for personal gain; or
o     Competes with the Company.

         A conflict  of  interest  may arise  because of outside  directorships,
personal  use of Company  property or  obtaining  Company  services for personal
benefit.
<PAGE>

         "Person  having a close  personal  relationship  with the  Director  or
employee"  refers to the  Director's or employee's  spouse,  parents,  children,
siblings,  mothers and fathers-in-law,  sons and daughters-in-law,  brothers and
sisters-in-law,  any  person  living  in the same  house  with the  Director  or
employee or any business associate of the Director or employee.

         Periodically the Company  requires certain  employees to certify to the
Company that they have  complied with all  requirements  of the Code of Business
Conduct. Disclosure of a particular situation that may be a conflict of interest
does not mean that the Company will consider it to be  substantial  enough to be
prohibited. Each situation will be considered on an individual basis.

Fraud and Similar Irregularities

         Company  policy  prohibits  fraud  and  establishes  procedures  to  be
followed  concerning the recognition,  reporting and  investigation of suspected
fraud. Fraud includes, but is not limited to:

         o        Dishonest or fraudulent act;
         o        Embezzlement;
         o        Forgery  or  alteration  of  negotiable  instruments  such  as
                  Company checks and drafts;
         o        Misappropriation of Company,  employee,  customer,  partner or
                  supplier assets;
         o        Conversion  to personal use of cash,  securities,  supplies or
                  any other Company asset;
         o        Unauthorized  handling or reporting  of Company  transactions;
                  and
         o        Falsification  of Company records or financial  statements for
                  personal or other reasons.

         Directors and  employees are obligated to protect the Company's  assets
and ensure their efficient use. Theft,  carelessness and waste of Company assets
by Directors and employees are prohibited  since such actions and conduct have a
direct and negative  impact on the Company's  profitability.  All Company assets
shall only be used for the legitimate business purposes of the Company.

         Any  Director,  employee  or agent  who  suspects  that any  fraudulent
activity  may have  occurred  is  required  to report  such  concern  to the Law
Department,   Audit  Services,  Security  Department,  or  the  Company's  Chief
Financial  Officer.  All  fraud  investigations  will  be  conducted  under  the
direction of the Law Department.

                        Export Matters and International
                             Business Relationships

 Export Administration and International Economic Sanctions

         Although the Company  operates in many countries  throughout the world,
as a United  States  company it must comply with the export  administration  and
international  economic  sanctions  laws of the United  States.  Company  policy
requires  that the Company  conduct all of its business and export its services,
products and technology in compliance with such laws. There are no exceptions to
this policy.

         The Company has established a comprehensive internal monitoring program
to ensure  compliance with such laws. The requirements of these laws are complex
and sometimes difficult to understand. Any questions concerning the requirements
of this policy or the  applicable  law should be addressed to the export control
manager or the Law Department. All Company Directors,  employees and agents must
observe all requirements of the internal  controls program and act in compliance
with these laws.

Boycotts

         Applicable laws and Company policy  prohibits  cooperation with certain
boycotts imposed by the laws of other countries.  Applicable  United States laws
also require that the Company not provide  certain  information  concerning  the
identity   and   nationality   of  its   employees,   Directors,   shareholders,
subcontractors  and  suppliers  or  information  about  where the  Company  does
business when such information is requested to support a prohibited  boycott.The
Company is also required to report requests it receives to support such boycotts
even though it does not comply with such requests.

         Sometimes  requests to support a prohibited boycott are hard to detect.
All  employees  and agents who are likely to come in contact with such  requests
must be fully aware of the details of this policy.

International Business Relationships

         The Company often enters into business relationships with other persons
and  companies  outside  the  United  States.  These   "International   Business
Relationships"  take the form of agency  agreements,  joint  ventures  and other
forms of business  combinations.  Company  policy governs the manner in which it
will enter into and manage these business relationships.

      The term "International Business Relationships" includes the following:
o     Employment of an agent,  consultant,  sponsor or any other party to assist
      the  Company  in  obtaining  work or  projects,  personnel  visas,  import
      licenses,  facilities  or other matters  necessary for operation  within a
      country or region;
o     Entering into a joint venture, consortium or shareholder agreement, or any
      other  arrangement  where another party obtains an equity  interest in the
      business  of an entity in which the  Company  also owns an  interest  or a
      share of the profits from any work performed by the Company;
o     Entering into a distribution, marketing, sales representation or licensing
      agreement  where another  party  distributes,  markets,  sells or licenses
      others  or  obtains  a  license  relating  to the  services,  products  or
      technology of the Company; or
o     Entering into a contract or  subcontract  where another party will perform
      the majority of the work to be performed under the Company's contract.

         "International  Business  Relationships" do not include subcontracts or
purchase orders for goods or routine services in the regular course of business.

         While International Business Relationships are useful in the conduct of
the Company's business, they must be adequately subject to the Company's systems
of control to protect the Company's assets against  unauthorized  use. Also, the
Company may be held  accountable  for actions  taken by agents and others on its
behalf.  Thus, Company policy requires that selection of other parties with whom
the Company will join in International Business Relationships must be subject to
appropriate management control and investigation.

<PAGE>

                                    All  proposed  agreements   establishing  or
                                    amending   such    relationships   must   be
                                    carefully  reviewed by legal,  financial and
                                    management  personnel  prior to signing  the
                                    agreement.

<PAGE>

         Further,  these agreements must require that the other parties agree to
comply with the Company's Code of Business  Conduct for  International  Business
Relationships.  This separate code of conduct applies to International  Business
Relationships.  It includes many of the same  requirements as the Company's Code
of Business  Conduct.  Any  employee  who has  responsibilities  with respect to
International  Business  Relationships  must be familiar  with the more detailed
applicable Company policies.

Antitrust and Competition

         The antitrust  laws of the United States and other  countries  prohibit
agreements  or actions that might  eliminate or  discourage  competition,  bring
about a monopoly, abuse a dominant market position, artificially maintain prices
or otherwise illegally hamper or distort commerce.

         In addition to criminal fines and jail terms,  United States  antitrust
violations  often  allow a private  party to recover  three times  actual  money
damages.  Antitrust  lawsuits  have  frequently  resulted in  judgments  against
companies amounting to tens of millions and on occasions hundreds of millions of
dollars.

         The Company  does not  tolerate any  business  activity  that  violates
antitrust laws that apply to the Company's  business.  Company  policy  requires
that no  Director,  employee  or  agent  of the  Company  shall  enter  into any
understanding,  agreement,  plan  or  scheme,  express  or  implied,  formal  or
informal,  with any competitor in regard to prices,  terms or conditions of sale
or service, production, distribution,  territories or customers; nor exchange or
discuss with a competitor prices, terms or conditions of sale or service, or any
other  competitive  information;  nor engage in any other conduct which violates
any of  the  antitrust  laws.  However,  subcontracting  arrangements  or  joint
proposals with  competitors  which are not in violation of applicable  antitrust
laws and which have been approved by the Law Department are not prohibited.  Any
discussion with competitors in connection with a project in which the competitor
is an alliance partner,  joint venturer, or subcontractor must be precleared and
coordinated with the Law Department.

         Antitrust laws are complex and sometimes  difficult to understand.  Any
Director,  employee or agent of the Company who has  responsibility for business
conduct that might be subject to antitrust  laws must be guided by the advice of
the Law Department. Any questions concerning
<PAGE>

antitrust  implications must be referred to the Law Department before taking any
action.  There are no  exceptions  to this  policy and no one is  authorized  to
approve any action in violation of this policy.

                          Employment and the Workplace

 Equal Employment Opportunity

         Company  policy  prohibits  all  unlawful  discrimination  against  any
employee or  applicant  for  employment.  The Company is  committed to providing
equal  opportunity  to all  qualified  individuals  in its hiring and  promotion
policies.  The Company will endeavor to create a workforce  that is a reflection
of the diverse population of the communities in which it operates.

         With respect to  operations  governed by United States law, this policy
relates to all phases of employment,  including recruitment,  hiring, placement,
promotion, transfer,  compensation,  benefits, training, educational, social and
recreational  programs  and the use of Company  facilities.  It covers all other
personnel actions in all job categories and at all levels,  including employment
of qualified disabled individuals, disabled veterans and veterans of the Vietnam
era. It is  intended to provide  employees  with a working  environment  free of
discrimination,  harassment,  intimidation  or  coercion  relating  directly  or
indirectly to race, color, religion, sex, age, disability or national origin.

         All Directors, members of management and other employees shall actively
support this policy.

Reference: Corporate Policy 3-0002

 Harassment

         The Company  believes that all employees should be treated with dignity
and respect. It is the policy of the Company to provide a work environment which
is free from harassment.

         As used in this policy, harassment includes sexual, racial, ethnic, and
other forms of harassment,  including  harassment  based upon  disability.  Some
examples, depending on the facts and circumstances, include:

<PAGE>

o        Verbal  or  Written  Harassment  -  unwelcome  or  derogatory  comments
         regarding a person's  race,  color,  sex,  religion,  ancestry,  ethnic
         heritage, mental or physical disability, age or appearance;  threats of
         physical  harm; or the  distribution  of material  having such effects,
         including by electronic mail or display in any Company work area.
o        Physical  Harassment - hitting,  pushing or other  aggressive  physical
         contact or threats to take such action, or inappropriate gestures.
o        Sexual  Harassment  -  unwelcome  sexual  conduct,  whether  verbal  or
         physical,  including  sexual  advances,  demands for sexual favors,  or
         other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature,  whether or not it
         was designed or intended to promote an intimate relationship.

         It is not considered  harassment for  supervisors  and other members of
management  to enforce job  performance  and  standards of conduct in a fair and
consistent manner.

         Any employee who believes she or he is being harassed  should  consider
telling the offending  party that she or he objects to that conduct.  This often
solves the problem.  However, if an employee is not comfortable  confronting the
offending party (or if the offending party's unwelcome conduct  continues),  the
employee should advise his or her immediate supervisor of the offending conduct.
If the employee is more comfortable discussing the issue with someone other than
his or her immediate  supervisor,  or if the immediate  supervisor has not taken
what the  employee  regards  as  appropriate  action to solve the  problem,  the
employee should contact a Human Resources or Law Department representative.

         Reports of harassment will be investigated promptly and discreetly.

         Any employee who reports any act of harassment in good faith, including
sexual harassment, will not be retaliated against because of such report.

Reference: Corporate Policy 3-0016

Health, Safety and Environment

         Protection  of health,  safety and the  prevention  of pollution to the
environment are primary goals of the Company. The Company will strive to develop
and provide  products and services that have no undue  environmental  impact and
are safe in their  intended use,  efficient in their  consumption  of energy and
natural resources and can be recycled, reused or disposed of safely.

         All  employees  must  conduct  their  duties  and  responsibilities  in
compliance  with  applicable law and industry  standards  relating to health and
safety in the workplace and prevention of pollution to the environment.

         The Chief Health,  Safety and Environment  Officer of the Company shall
oversee the  administration of this policy.  Implementation  shall be subject to
the oversight of the Health,  Safety and Environment  Committee of the Company's
Board of Directors.

Political Activities

         The Company believes strongly in the democratic process.  Its Directors
and  employees  should take an active  interest in fostering  principles of good
government in the countries and  communities  in which they live.  Directors and
employees may spend their own time and funds supporting political candidates and
issues, but they will not be reimbursed by the Company.  Directors and employees
should ensure that their personal political  contributions and activities are in
compliance with applicable law.

         Further,  some political  conduct which is permitted and encouraged for
individuals is unlawful for corporations.

         Company policy requires  Directors,  employees and agents who represent
the  Company in  political  and  governmental  matters  to comply  with all laws
regulating  corporate  participation  in public  affairs.  To assure  that these
requirements  are met and as guidance to them, the following  policies have been
adopted:

         No  Director,  employee or agent shall apply any  pressure on any other
         employee that infringes that individual's  right to decide whether,  to
         whom and in what  amount a  personal  political  contribution  is to be
         made;

         No contributions  of Company funds,  property or services shall be made
         in support of  political  candidates  for federal  office in the United
         States or in certain states or other countries where such contributions
         are prohibited. Indirect expenditures on behalf of a candidate, such as
         travel on a Company  aircraft,  may be considered as  contributions  in
         this regard;

         No political contribution of Company funds, property or services can be
         made by the Company,  except in accordance  with a plan approved by the
         Chief Executive Officer;

<PAGE>
o    When  permitted  by law and  authorized  by the  Chief  Executive  Officer,
     Company funds and facilities may be used to provide  administrative support
     for the operation of political action committees or programs,  the purposes
     of which  include  the  disbursement  of  financial  contributions  made by
     certain  employees,  shareholders  and/or  others to  political  parties or
     candidates. No Company funds, facilities or other property will be used for
     other than administrative support of such a committee;

o    When  permitted  by law and  authorized  by the  Chief  Executive  Officer,
     expenditures of Company funds may be made to inform or influence the voting
     public on an issue of  importance  to the  business  of the Company and its
     shareholders.

     If an employee or Director is requested to make a political contribution or
to provide  assistance on behalf of the Company,  whether personal or corporate,
and such employee or Director has any questions regarding this Company policy or
applicable  law,  the employee or Director  should  contact the  Company's  Vice
President - Government Relations or the Law Department.

Reference: Corporate Policy 3-0012

United States(degree)federal Government Contracting

         To ensure that the Company complies with federal  regulations on United
States governmental contracts, all employees involved in the performance of work
under  governmental  contracts  are to be adequately  informed and  sufficiently
trained in the policies and practices  contained in the Code of Business Conduct
and other Company policies specifically relating to government contracting. Each
business  unit manager  with  contracts  with the United  States  government  is
responsible  for ensuring that training  sessions  regarding  these policies are
conducted and that the training sessions are properly documented.

         The Company takes  appropriate,  timely action to correct violations of
United  States  governmental  standards.  If any  employee has a question on the
propriety of a  transaction,  the employee  must report the  transaction  to the
immediate  supervisor.  If the supervisor  finds the question to have substance,
the supervisor  must report the transaction to the General Counsel or his or her
designee.  The supervisor  must advise the employee of the action the supervisor
has taken.  If the employee  disagrees with the supervisor or if the employee is
not comfortable  reporting the  transaction to the supervisor,  the employee may
contact the General Counsel or his or her designee directly.

<PAGE>

         When cost and  pricing  data are  required  to respond to a  government
solicitation,  the cost and pricing data must be current, accurate, and complete
at the time of submission.  All costs are to be properly  recorded,  documented,
and retained in compliance with United States federal  procurement  regulations.
Each business unit doing business with the United States government must invoice
the  government  in strict  compliance  with  United  States  governmental  cost
principles and other United States federal regulations.

         Many  United  States   governmental   projects  in  which  the  Company
participates may involve classified or proprietary materials or information.  In
these cases,  the Company  complies with all United States  government  security
regulations  to  prevent  unauthorized  access,  distribution,  or  use  of  any
classified information.

         The Company complies with applicable United States federal statutes and
regulations   governing  the  employment  of  former  United  States   military,
Department of Defense, or other federal employees. When the Company contemplates
hiring a former United States governmental  employee or engaging the employee as
a consultant,  the responsible  business unit manager shall consult with the Law
Department for guidance.

entered into prior negotiations with those clients listed below:

         Continental   Airlines,   Universal  Guardian   Holdings,   Mitsubishi,
         Sovereign   Tracking  Systems,   Nera  Satellite   Systems   (Norwegian
         shipping).

MachineTalker(R)  products in the tracking of shipping  containers or inventory.
Consultant  acknowledges  that the goal of the KBRSI Agreement is to develop the
means to track  shipping  containers  and  inventory  on a global  basis  and to
provide that service for the shipping industry.  Therefore,  in keeping with the
Agreement,  should  any of these  existing  clients  wish to  develop  a similar

use the Software in connection  with the use and operation of Licensed  Products
to track inventory, containers and other similar packages. KBR acknowledges that

the reasonable  scope of the Licensed  Products.  Both Parties  acknowledge that
this exclusive license is intended as an absolute limit on MACHINETALKER's right
and power to grant to any other person, juridical or otherwise, a license to use
the Licensed  Technology and Licensed Products as described herein including the
right to use the same in connection  with the sale of goods or services that may

<PAGE>

the Licensed  Product and Technology is subject to the restriction  that the use
of the Licensed  Products and Technology is limited to a KBR solution to provide
a method of tracking inventory,  containers and other similar packages, and such
use as the end users or intended clients might reasonably be required to utilize
said KBR solution.

         This  License is also  limited by the  following  understanding  of the
PARTIES that KBR will market and sell the Licensed  Products and  Technology and
shall in all cases have a Right of First Refusal on business  opportunities that
may arise that involve the licensed area of tracking of  inventory,  containers,
and  similar  packages,  but that  opportunities  that arise that KBR,  within a
reasonable period of time, elects not to pursue may be taken up by MACHINETALKER
under  the same  terms and  conditions  as  offered  to KBR at the time of KBR's
written  rejection,  such rejection of the  opportunity by KBR and acceptance of
the opportunity by MACHINETALKER  shall waive the exclusivity of this License as
it applies to said singularly defined instance or opportunity at the KBR offered
terms and conditions.

         2.3 LIMITATIONS ON USE. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement
to the contrary,  KBR shall use the Licensed  Technology only in connection with
KBR's use of Licensed Products to track inventory,  containers and other similar
packages,  and only with those  Licensed  Products  that are  supplied to KBR by

KBR the right to resell this  license in entirety to a 3rd party  subject to the
rights and responsibilities  established and conveyed herein, and subject to the
condition  that such 3rd party  be,  or be wholly  owned by, a company  which is
registered, or incorporated in the United States. Any resale to a U.S. 3rd party
must  transfer  all  rights  and  obligations  of KBR to said U.S.  3rd party in
entirety.  MACHINETALKER  grants to KBR the right to sublicense  this License in
whole  or in part to any  U.S.  3rd  party,  however,  this  grant  of  right to
sublicense  is  restricted  to  commercial  sales  reasonably  relating to a KBR
solution for tracking inventory, containers and other similar packages.

         2.5 DELIVERIES BY MACHINETALKER.  Concurrent with the sale and delivery
of Licensed  Products to KBR,  MACHINETALKER  shall deliver to KBR a copy of all
Documentation  necessary for proper use of the Licensed  Product in the field of

         use the  Licensed  Technology;  or (b) modify or replace  the  Licensed

         MACHINETALKER  NOTICE OF ANY SUCH  LOSS OR CLAIM  WITHIN 30 DAYS OF THE
         DATE  THAT  KBR IS MADE  AWARE OF THE  CLAIM.  KBR  AGREES  TO USE BEST

         LOSS OR CLAIM RELATED TO THE NEGLIGENCE OF KBR, ITS AGENTS OR EMPLOYEES
         REGARDING  THE  INSTALLATION,   USE,  SALE  OR  SERVICING  OF  LICENSED
         TECHNOLOGY  OR ARISING OUT OF ANY  REPRESENTATION  OR WARRANTY  MADE BY
         KBR,  ITS  AGENTS,  OR  EMPLOYEES  WHERE  SUCH  REPRESENTATION  EXCEEDS
         MACHINETALKER'S  LIMITED WARRANTY IF SUCH LOSS OR CLAIM IS EXCLUSIVE OF
         MACHINETALKER NEGLIGENCE,  PROVIDED THAT MACHINETALKER GIVES KBR NOTICE
         OF ANY SUCH LOSS OR CLAIM WITHIN 30 DAYS OF THE DATE THAT MACHINETALKER
         IS MADE AWARE OF THE CLAIM. MACHINETALKER AGREES TO USE BEST EFFORTS TO
         ASSIST  KBR  IN  ANY  SUCH  DEFENSE  TO  THE  EXTENT   REASONABLE   AND

to be appropriate,  (c) hereby waive any requirement that  non-disclosing  party
post,  as a condition  or other  requirement  of  obtaining  any such  equitable
relief,  a bond or other  collateral,  and (d) further agree that such equitable
relief shall be in addition to any damages or other remedies provided by law and
otherwise  available to non-disclosing  party as a result of disclosing  party's
breach of  confidentiality.  Notwithstanding the above, the parties shall not be
liable to each other regarding  obligations and remedies  relating to the use of
and  disclosure of  Proprietary  Information  provided that the Receiving  Party
affords  the  Proprietary  Information  the same  degree of  protection  that it
affords to its own Proprietary  Information of similar importance,  but not less
than a reasonable degree of care.

Agreement.  The  parties  shall  negotiate  in good  faith to  replace  any such
ineffective,  unenforceable,  or illegal provisions as soon as practicable,  and

and legal effect as the eliminated provision.

         8.4  INDEPENDENT  CONTRACTORS.  Performance  by the parties  under this
Agreement  shall be as independent  contractors.  This Agreement is not intended

purpose  or in any sense  whatsoever,  or to create any  fiduciary  or any other
obligations other than those expressly imposed by this Agreement.

         8.5  ASSIGNMENT.  Subject to the  express  limitations  imposed by this

                    KELLOGG BROWN & ROOT, SERVICES INC. (KBR)
                       PURCHASE ORDER TERMS AND CONDITIONS
         (To be made a part of any future purchase of Licensed Products)

1. DEFINITIONS. These Terms and Conditions,  together with the Agreement and any
special  terms and  conditions,  and all  attachments,  exhibits  and  documents
expressly  referenced in the Purchase Order, shall  collectively  constitute the
"Purchase  Order".  "Buyer",  "Seller",  and "Owner" (if any) are identified and
defined as set forth within this Purchase Order.  This Purchase Order is entered
into between Buyer and Seller,  who may be referred to individually  herein as a
"party" or  collectively  as the  "parties".  Seller  agrees to sell,  and Buyer
agrees to buy, the goods, work and/or services  described in and furnished under
this Purchase  Order (the  "Goods"),  under the terms and  conditions  set forth
herein.  The "Buyer  Indemnitees"  as referred to herein  shall mean Buyer,  any
Owner,  any  assignee,  their  parents,  subsidiaries,   affiliates,   partners,
co-participants, investors, and lenders, and the respective officers, directors,
employees,   consultants,   contractors,   invitees,  agents,   representatives,
successors,  heirs,  and  insurers of each such  entity at all tiers.  Seller is
acting in all respects as an independent  contractor  under this Purchase Order.

2. EFFECTIVE  DATE.  This Purchase Order becomes  effective when (a) executed by
both the Buyer and Seller; or (b) when Seller commences performance; or (c) when
Seller  tenders  the  Goods  to  Buyer,  whichever  event  occurs  earliest.

3. INTEGRATION AND CONTROLLING TERMS. This Purchase Order constitutes the entire
agreement  between Buyer and Seller with respect to the Goods,  superseding  all
quotations, proposals, communications,  negotiations and counter-proposals. This
Purchase  Order  expressly  excludes any quotations or proposal of Seller unless
such proposal is specifically  referenced and incorporated herein. Any different
or additional  terms and  conditions by Seller in Seller's  acceptance or during
Seller's performance of this Purchase Order,  including any terms and conditions
contained on any of Seller's quotations,  proposals, or forms, shall be null and
void and of no effect on the parties.  Electronic commerce  transactions between
Buyer and Seller  pertaining to this Purchase  Order will be solely  governed by
these terms and conditions.  Any terms and conditions on Seller's  internet site
to which agreement by Buyer in any manner,  whether through a online  electronic
agreement,  deemed implied by site use, or otherwise,  is required in any manner
during performance of this Purchase Order, will be null and void and of no legal
effect on Buyer.  If this Purchase Order has been issued by Buyer in response to
a proposal or offer by Seller,  it is Buyer's intention that its counteroffer to
Seller will be governed  solely by these terms and  conditions and not by any of
Seller's terms or conditions which may be contained in its proposal or offer. If
Seller includes or attaches any different and/or  additional terms or conditions
in Seller's executed acceptance of a Purchase Order issued by Buyer and proceeds
to commence  performance or tender all or any part of the Goods without  Buyer's
express  acceptance of such different or additional terms or conditions,  Seller
agrees that a binding  contract  will be formed  solely upon  Buyer's  terms and
conditions,  which  contract will not include any of Seller's  different  and/or
additional terms or conditions.  Seller's  proposal or quotation is not included
as part of the Purchase Order unless expressly  referenced herein as part of the
agreement.

4.  ERRONEOUS OR  CONFLICTING  REQUIREMENTS.  Upon Seller's  discovery  that any
provision  of this  Purchase  Order may contain any error,  omission or conflict
with any other provision contained herein, it is Seller's responsibility to give
Buyer immediate written notice of such for resolution by Buyer. If

<PAGE>

Agreement No. CA-0006              12/29/2004 6:21 PM    Page 2 of 11 EXHIBIT 7
 - Purchase Order Terms & Conditions

Seller proceeds with  performance  after discovery  without  notification to and
resolution by Buyer,  then Seller  assumes the risk of all  resulting  expenses,
costs and consequences incurred.

5. INSPECTION,  EXPEDITING,  AND DOCUMENTATION.  Seller is fully responsible for
the timely,  proper and accurate performance of this Purchase Order,  including,
to the extent applicable, for the design, fabrication,  manufacture, production,
construction,  and  shipment of the Goods,  and for  compliance  with all terms,
conditions,  specifications,  drawings, and other written requirements of Buyer.
Buyer has the right to inspect  and  expedite  the Goods at any stage of design,
fabrication,   manufacture,  storage,  transit,  and  upon  delivery  to  assure
compliance  herewith.  Seller  will  provide  Buyer  with  all  data,  drawings,
specifications,  test  results,  quality  documentation,   schedules  and  other
documents  and   information   relating  to  the  Goods.   Notwithstanding   any
specifications, data, requirements or other information provided by Buyer, it is
Seller's  responsibility to request any additional  documentation or information
from Buyer which Seller  determines it may need for performance of this Purchase
Order, and Buyer will respond to the extent possible in a timely manner.  Seller
will  comply  with  Buyer's  inspection  and  testing  requirements,   plans  or
procedures set forth in this Purchase  Order,  and with other such  instructions
and directions as may be provided by the  authorized  Buyer  representative.  No
inspection,  waiving of inspection, review, approval, acceptance or provision of
any instructions,  direction, information, drawings or data hereunder by or from
Buyer,  or lack of such from Buyer,  will  constitute a waiver of, or relieve or
discharge   Seller  from,   either   expressly  or  by   implication,   Seller's
responsibilities and obligations under this Purchase Order.

6.  TIME  OF  PERFORMANCE.  SELLER  ACKNOWLEDGES  THAT  THE  TIME  REQUIRED  FOR
PERFORMANCE AND THE DELIVERY  SCHEDULE  SPECIFIED HEREIN ARE CRITICAL,  MATERIAL
AND OF THE ESSENCE TO  PERFORMANCE  OF THIS PURCHASE  ORDER FOR THE AVOIDANCE OF
SUBSTANTIAL  LOSS  TO  BUYER,  VARIOUS  CONTRACTORS  AND ANY  OWNER  .  SELLER'S
UNEXCUSED  FAILURE TO MEET THE DELIVERY SCHEDULE WITHOUT BUYER'S WRITTEN CONSENT
MAY  CONSTITUTE A BREACH OF CONTRACT OR DEFAULT  HEREUNDER.  Any such consent by
Buyer,  however,  will not constitute a waiver of any provision  herein but will
serve only to delay the delivery schedule. In the event of delay, or anticipated
delay, from any cause,  including force majeure,  Seller will immediately notify
Buyer  in  writing  of the  delay  or  anticipated  delay,  and its  approximate
duration, and Seller will undertake to mitigate, shorten or make up the delay by
all reasonable and  expeditious  means.  An event of "Force  Majeure" under this
paragraph shall be an excused delay, provided Seller has provided timely written
notice of the occurrence of such event to Buyer.  If possible,  Seller agrees to
take all reasonable commercial efforts to reduce or mitigate the effects of such
delay.  "Force  Majeure" is defined as any act of God,  flooding,  fire,  severe
storm, lightning,  act of war, act of terrorism,  or unforeseeable  governmental
action, beyond the control of and not caused in any part by any fault of Seller,
but shall not  include  any power,  supply,  transportation  or labor  problems.
Buyer, at its option, may require or approve in writing a change in the delivery
schedule or progress  requirements  as  established  in this  Purchase  Order in
response to Seller's notice. If Seller fails to obtain the approval of Buyer for
any such change,  and Seller fails for any reason to meet the delivery schedule,
progress  requirements,  or it becomes  apparent  that  Seller  will not for any
reason meet the schedule or progress milestones, Buyer may in such case, without
penalty,  cancellation  fee,  restocking  or other fee or  charges,  and without
prejudice to any other  rights which it may have,  cancel all or any part of the
Purchase  Order and take any other  action as Buyer may  consider  necessary  or
desirable  under  the  circumstances  to avoid or  minimize  losses.  Buyer  may
backcharge Seller for all direct costs and expenses of any nature resulting from
Seller's  unexcused  nonperformance,  delays  or  failure  to meet the  required
delivery schedule.

7. TITLE,  SHIPMENT,  AND RISK OF LOSS. Unless otherwise specified herein, title
to the Goods (and in the event  that the Goods are made to order,  then title to
all material, inventory and work in progress,

<PAGE>

Agreement No. CA-0006              12/29/2004 6:21 PM     Page 3 of 11 EXHIBIT 7
- Purchase Order Terms & Conditions

design data, other documentation,  and all contractual rights thereto) will vest
in Buyer  (or  Owner if Buyer is  acting  as  Owner's  agent)  immediately  upon
acceptance of the Goods by Buyer,  payment by Buyer, or  identification  to this
Purchase  Order,  whichever  first  occurs.  If  Goods  are made to order or the
Purchase  Order  otherwise  specifies  that  title  will vest in the Goods  upon
identification to this Purchase Order,  Seller will take action to segregate the
Goods and clearly label them as property of Buyer.  In the event of cancellation
or termination of this Purchase Order, Buyer has the right to enter Seller's (or
Seller's agent's,  contractor's or supplier's)  premises during regular business
hours and take possession of any Goods, including any related drawings, records,
materials to be incorporated into the Goods, and equipment,  for which Buyer has
paid Seller,  provided to Seller by Buyer, or which have been identified to this
Purchase Order or created by Seller  hereunder,  and Buyer shall be obligated to
pay Seller for any unpaid portion of the Goods or equipment of which Buyer takes
possession.  Seller  warrants free and clear title to the Goods,  free and clear
from any and all liens, claims, restrictions,  reservations,  security interests
and  encumbrances.  If  applicable,  Seller  is  responsible  for  properly  and
carefully  preparing,  labeling,  packing and shipping the Goods, at its expense
unless  otherwise   specified  herein,   and  providing  all  required  shipping
documentation.  In the  shipping  process,  Seller will comply with all laws and
regulations  applicable  to  the  Goods  in  addition  to  any  requirements  or
instructions of Buyer as may be specified in this Purchase Order or otherwise in
writing  pertaining  thereto.  Irrespective  of  vesting  of title and any other
provision herein to the contrary,  Seller will bear the risk of loss and damage,
and will insure or self-insure for the benefit of Seller,  Buyer, and any Owner,
the Goods in its care,  custody  and  control,  including  free  issue  material
supplied to Seller for  incorporation  into, or work in  conjunction  with,  the
Goods accordance with the provisions of this Purchase Order.  Should any loss or
damage occur to the Goods prior to acceptance by Buyer,  Buyer at its option may
cancel this Purchase Order without any  cancellation  fee, charge,  penalty,  or
liability,  and any  amounts  paid by Buyer for such Goods  shall be refunded in
full to Buyer.  Should  any loss or  damage  occur to any  free-issue  materials
provided to Seller,  in addition to Buyer's right to cancel this Purchase Order,
Seller shall either, at Buyer's option,  immediately replace such materials with
identical materials in order to meet its performance  obligations hereunder,  or
reimburse Buyer for the loss,  including any necessary  additional  expenses and
costs which may be incurred resulting from such loss. Upon request, Seller shall
provide adequate insurance coverage,  naming Buyer (and if applicable at Buyer's
request,  any Owner or other person) as additional insured,  for its obligations
under this Paragraph.

8. CONFORMING  GOODS AND ACCEPTANCE.  The Goods will conform to the description,
data,  drawings,  plans,  specifications,  performance or operation criteria (if
applicable), any sample, and other requirements of Buyer provided to Seller. The
Goods will meet the  standards  set forth in Paragraph 9 below.  Seller will not
make any modification, change, or substitution, in whole or in part, without the
prior  written  approval  of Buyer.  If  required  by Buyer,  Seller will supply
satisfactory evidence of the origin, composition,  manufacture, kind and quality
of  the  Goods.  Prior  to  shipment,  Seller  will  carefully  inspect,  and if
applicable  test, the Goods for conformance to the requirements of this Purchase
Order. If the words "or equal" are used in this Purchase Order,  proposed equals
must be  approved  in writing in advance by Buyer.  Seller will not ship more or
less than the quantity  specified  without the prior written  approval of Buyer.
Upon delivery of the Goods or in any other  location or time as may be specified
herein,  Buyer may conduct a visual  inspection of the Goods in accordance  with
its standard procedures and may accept or reject the Goods, in whole or in part,
provided that Buyer reserves all rights provided for herein to reject any Goods,
in whole or in part,  at a later  time  upon  discovery  of a latent  defect  or
non-compliance not apparent by such normal visual inspection.  If Goods received
do not conform to those ordered,  or if a different  quantity is shipped,  Buyer
may reject such shipment in whole or in part by giving notice thereof to Seller,
and may cancel this  Purchase  Order.  Seller will remove any rejected  Goods at
Seller's  expense  within ten (10) working days after  notice.  If any Goods are
rejected by Buyer,  Seller will not ship any replacement Goods without the prior
written approval of and in accordance with the  instructions  provided by Buyer.
For any incorrect quantity, damaged, defective, non-conforming, or rejected

Goods,  Buyer may cancel  this  Purchase  Order in whole or in part  without any
obligation to pay a cancellation fee or other fee, charge or penalty, and return
the Goods at Seller's expense for full refund or credit to Buyer's  account,  at
Buyer's option.

9.  WARRANTY.  Seller  warrants  to Buyer  that the Goods  furnished  under this
Purchase  Order,  whether  manufactured,  fabricated,  or otherwise  produced or
provided by Seller or others, will be (a) new, (b) of the latest design or model
conforming  to  Buyer  requirements,  (c)  conform  to the  descriptions,  data,
drawings,  plans,  specifications,  any performance criteria, sample if any, and
other  requirements  specified herein or provided by Buyer to Seller;  (d) be of
merchantable  quality,  (e) if specified  in this  Purchase  Order,  fit for the
purpose(s) intended; (f) conform with all applicable laws, ordinances, codes and
regulations,  (g) be of the  highest  quality;  and (h)  free  from  defects  in
materials, performance,  operation, and workmanship. The Goods will be warranted
hereunder, as may be applicable,  for a period of one (1) year after the date of
acceptance of the facility or the project by Owner,  or twenty-four  (24) months
from date of delivery  to and  acceptance  by Buyer,  whichever  period  expires
earlier.  All work on the Goods or otherwise in the performance of this Purchase
Order  will  be  done  in a  skilled  manner  and  of  the  highest  quality  of
workmanship.  Seller further  warrants that the Goods will be of sufficient size
and capacity,  and of correct  materials,  to properly  perform any functions or
purpose specified in this Purchase Order.

10. WARRANTY  REMEDIES.  If, within the warranty period specified in Paragraph 9
above, Buyer discovers any defect, error, noncompliance,  omission,  operational
or performance deficiency,  or breach of warranty set forth in Paragraph 9 above
as to the Goods, upon notice from Buyer, Seller will promptly repair, reperform,
or replace, without cost, the Goods in question (including bearing any necessary
removal,  reinstallation,   access,  shipping,  labor  and  other  direct  costs
resulting  therefrom) in accordance with Buyer instructions.  If Seller fails to
proceed promptly with and complete the repair, reperformance,  or replacement of
the  defective  Goods,  Buyer may  repair,  reperform,  or replace the Goods and
charge all related  direct costs  (including  labor and access  costs) to Seller
without  voiding the  warranties  herein,  and without  Buyer  waiving any other
rights  or  remedies  it may  have  under  this  Purchase  Order.  Such  repair,
reperformance,  or replacement  will be rewarranted  for a period of twelve (12)
months from the date of its acceptance by Buyer or Owner.  If Buyer  determines,
for any  reason,  that the  remedies  provided  for herein are not  adequate  or
feasible, Buyer may elect to have such Goods removed at Seller's expense and any
portion of the purchase  price paid  refunded in full.  Any Owner or assignee of
this  Purchase  Order as well as Buyer will have the  benefit  of the  foregoing
warranty and warranty  remedies in  Paragraphs 9 and 10 herein,  and such rights
and remedies  are in addition to any other  rights or remedies  provided in law,
equity, or under this Purchase Order.

11.  GOVERNING LAW AND COMPLIANCE WITH LAW. Unless  otherwise  specified in this
Purchase  Order,  this  contract  will be  governed  by the laws of the State of
Texas, U.S.A.,  exclusive of conflict of laws principles,  in effect on the date
the Purchase Order becomes  effective.  In its  performance  under this Purchase
Order, Seller agrees to comply with all applicable laws,  treaties,  ordinances,
directives,  orders,  codes and  regulations,  and  specifically  with,  but not
limited to, any import, export, health, safety, security and environmental laws,
treaties,  ordinances,  codes  and  regulations  of  any  jurisdiction  (whether
international,  country,  region,  state,  province,  city, or local) where this
Purchase  Order may be  performed.  NOTHING  CONTAINED  IN THIS  PARAGRAPH  WILL
OBLIGATE BUYER,  OWNER,  SELLER, OR ANY PERSON ACTING ON THEIR BEHALF, TO ENGAGE
IN ANY ACTION OR OMISSION TO ACT WHICH WOULD BE PROHIBITED BY OR PENALIZED UNDER
THE LAWS OR REGULATIONS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA OR ANY OF ITS STATES. If
applicable to this Purchase Order, Seller will specifically comply with the U.S.
Occupational  Safety  and  Health  Act  (OSHA),  and  any  State  Plan  approved
thereunder,  and any regulation thereunder,  including without limitation,  OSHA

14.  ASSIGNMENT AND NOTICE OF SELLER CHANGES.  Seller will not sell,  assign, or
transfer this Purchase  Order,  or any part hereof,  or any performance or money
due  hereunder,  without  the prior  written  consent  of Buyer.  If  consent is
granted,  any such  assignment  by Seller will not (a) increase or alter Buyer's
obligations,  (b) diminish the rights of Buyer,  or (c) relieve Seller of any of
its obligations  under this Purchase  Order.  Buyer reserves the right to assign
this Purchase  Order,  in whole or in part.  Seller will give Buyer or any Owner
prompt written notice of any adverse  material change in its financial  standing
(including any prospective bankruptcy, reorganization,  insolvency, liquidation,
dissolution  or  assignment  for the  benefit  of any  creditor),  ownership  or
organization  or any other  operational  change which may affect its performance
under the Purchase  Order,  including in the  manufacture  or  production of the
Goods. In the event of any adverse material change,  Buyer reserves the right to
cancel or terminate  this Purchase Order without  penalty or further  obligation
other than to pay Seller for any completed and  satisfactory  performance to the
date of such cancellation or termination.

15. CANCELLATION. Buyer has the right at any time to cancel all or any separable
part of this Purchase Order by written notice.  No cancellation,  fee, charge or
payment  will be owed by Buyer to Seller,  and Seller  will be owed only for the
direct  costs  of any  completed  and  satisfactory  performance  to the date of
cancellation,  and,  if any  portion  of the Goods will be  delivered  to Buyer,
Seller  shall also be  reimbursed  any direct and  necessary  costs  incurred to
preserve, protect, store, and ship such Goods to the point of delivery to Buyer.
At the time of any cancellation by Buyer,  Seller will  immediately  discontinue
all work  pertaining to the Purchase  Order,  including  not placing  additional
purchase  orders or making any other  commitment,  and  canceling  forthwith any
existing purchase orders and commitments on the best possible terms. Seller will
preserve and protect the Goods on hand,  work in progress,  supplier  data,  and
completed work, both in its own and in its suppliers' facilities,  in accordance
with Buyer's  instructions.  Buyer has the right to enter  Seller's (or Seller's
agent's,  contractor's or supplier's) premises during regular business hours and
take possession of any Goods, including any related drawings, records, materials
to be  incorporated  into the Goods,  and  equipment,  for which  Buyer has paid
Seller, provided to Seller, or which have been identified to this Purchase Order
or created by Seller hereunder,  and Buyer shall be only obligated to pay Seller
for any unpaid portion of the Goods of which Buyer takes possession.

16.  CHANGES  IN  THE  GOODS.   Seller  will  make  no   modification,   change,
substitution, or revision without Buyer's prior written consent.

         (a) Buyer has the right to make changes in the character or quantity of
the Goods,  in the manner or time of  performance  of this  Purchase  Order,  or
otherwise, by written notice to Seller. Changes will be in writing and signed by
a duly  authorized  representative  of Buyer.  Seller  will  respond to Buyer in
writing  within five (5) business days of receipt  either  accepting the change,
with any proposed  adjustment  in price or schedule,  or rejecting the change if
Seller is unable to comply. If Seller fails to respond within such period,  such
change will be deemed accepted and an equitable adjustment in the price and time
of  performance  will be made by Buyer if any  change  results  in a  reasonably
documented  decrease or increase in  Seller's  cost or time of  performance.  If
Seller rejects the change,  Buyer may cancel this Purchase Order as set forth in
Paragraph 15 above.

         (b) Should  Seller  request any change from Buyer,  Seller  shall place
such  request in writing,  with all  reasonable  supporting  documentation,  and
submit to Buyer. If Seller's request is complete, Buyer will respond

in  writing as soon as  possible  concerning  acceptance  or  rejection  of such
change. Seller will not discontinue performance pending Buyer's decision without
the prior  written  consent of Buyer.  No claim by Seller for any change will be
considered  unless  submitted to Buyer in writing within ten (10) days after the
occurrence  of the event upon which such change is based.

NOTICE OF ANY SUCH LOSS OR CLAIM  WITHIN 30 DAYS OF THE DATE THAT  MACHINETALKER

<PAGE>
Agreement No. CA-0006              12/29/2004 6:21 PM     Page 8 of 11 EXHIBIT 7
- Purchase Order Terms & Conditions

duties, fees, levies, charges or other assessments of whatever nature imposed by
governing  authorities  or  any  jurisdiction   applicable  in  connection  with
performance under this Purchase Order.  Seller accepts sole  responsibility  and
liability for the payment of any and all contributions or taxes for unemployment
insurance,  social  security  payments,  or other  assessments for those persons
performing  work for Seller  hereunder.  If it is ever  determined  that any tax
included in the price paid by Buyer was not required to be paid,  Seller  agrees
to refund promptly such amount to Buyer. Seller will release, defend, indemnify,
and hold the Buyer Indemnitees  harmless from and against any fines,  penalties,
interest,  costs  (including  attorneys  fees and court costs),  charges,  fees,
losses,  damages or liabilities,  arising from, alleged to arise from, or in any
way associated with Seller's failure to comply with the terms of this Paragraph.

19. CONFIDENTIALITY.  All data, designs,  documents,  drawings,  specifications,
communications  and other  information,  revealed  or  disclosed  in any form or
manner to Seller by Buyer (whether written, oral, electronic,  visual,  graphic,
photographic,  observational,  or  otherwise),  including any documents or other
tangible items supplied,  or produced or created by Seller for Buyer  hereunder,
or any information or item provided by any Owner (collectively defined as "Buyer
Information")  are proprietary and confidential to Buyer and will be used solely
by Seller for purposes of performing this Purchase Order.  All such  Information
will be  treated  and  protected  by  Seller  as  confidential,  and will not be
disclosed to any third party without the prior written  consent of Buyer and may
be disclosed within Seller's  organization only on a need-to-know  basis.  Buyer
may  require  Seller's  employees,  contractors,   suppliers  and  other  Seller
personnel  involved  in the  performance  of this  Purchase  Order to execute an
individual  confidentiality  agreement prior to any  disclosure.  The provisions
protecting  Buyer  Information  in any  separate  confidentiality,  secrecy,  or
nondisclosure agreement heretofore executed by Seller in connection with Buyer's
or Owner's  business,  this Purchase Order, or any other contract  pertaining to
the Goods,  are hereby  expressly  incorporated  within this Purchase Order, and
these  provisions  are in addition  to such  agreement.  Upon  request of Buyer,
Seller will immediately return to Buyer any Buyer Information  provided,  either
upon demand, or upon completion of the warranty period hereunder,  including all
copies made by Seller.

20. PUBLICITY.  Seller will not publicize,  disclose,  or discuss the existence,
content, or scope (whether generalities or details) of this Purchase Order, make
any reference to Buyer or Owner (if any), the business of either, or the project
for which this Purchase Order is intended,  to any third party by any means, and
through  any  medium   (including  but  not  limited  to  marketing   materials,
advertising,  internet  or web site  references,  photographs,  articles,  press
releases  or  interviews,  speeches or  programs)  without  obtaining  the prior
written  consent of Buyer.  Seller  shall not use Buyer's,  any Owner's,  or the
project name as a reference in any manner without Buyer's express prior consent.

21. PAYMENTS, LIENS, RIGHT TO SET OFF AND BACKCHARGES. Seller agrees to keep the
project,  premises and other property of Buyer, any Owner, and any other person,
free and  clear  from any and all  claims,  liens,  restrictions,  reservations,
security interests and encumbrances  arising from this Purchase Order,  Seller's
performance or  non-performance,  or related to the Goods. To the maximum extent
allowed by law, Seller agrees to release,  defend,  indemnify, and hold harmless
the Buyer  Indemnitees  from and against any and all  laborers',  materialmen's,
mechanic's,   subcontractors,   or  any  other  liens,   claims,   restrictions,
reservations, security interests and encumbrances arising from, alleged to arise
from, or in any way arising from this Purchase  Order,  Seller's  performance or
nonperformance,  or related to the Goods. Seller agrees that any payment made by
Buyer  constitutes  trust funds  intended  for the  benefit of any  contractors,
suppliers and laborers.  At any time, if Seller fails to make any payment to any
of its  contractors,  suppliers  and  laborers,  Buyer  may  elect  to pay  such
beneficiaries  directly or by issuance of joint checks, or take any other action
required to prevent  imposition  of a lien.  Regardless  of the payment terms in
this Purchase Order, Buyer's

<PAGE>
Agreement No. CA-0006             12/29/2004 6:21 PM      Page 9 of 11 EXHIBIT 7
- Purchase Order Terms & Conditions

obligation  to pay the  purchase  price  is  conditioned  upon  (a)  receipt  of
completed,  non-defective  conforming Goods; (b) receipt and acceptance by Buyer
of Seller's accurate and properly completed invoice  accompanied by satisfactory
supporting  documentation;  and (c)  compliance  by  Seller  with all  terms and
conditions  of this Purchase  Order.  Seller agrees to pay promptly when due all
bills for labor,  material,  equipment or services in connection with the Goods.
If such bills are not promptly  paid by Seller when due,  Buyer may pay them and
Seller will immediately  reimburse Buyer therefore.  Buyer may at its discretion
set off any funds owed by Seller  against any other  amounts due to Seller under
any other contract with Buyer, Owner, or any affiliate of either.  Seller waives
all  rights  of lien  against  the  premises,  facilities,  equipment  and other
property of Buyer and any Owner. Any sums due Seller hereunder may be applied by
Buyer  as a set off  against  any  sums  owed by  Seller  to Buyer or any of its
affiliates  or against any claims of third  parties  against  Buyer arising from
Seller's performance,  breach or default,  hereunder,  whether under this or any
other  purchase  order or other  contract.  At its sole  discretion,  Buyer  may
withhold  from  payments  to be made to Seller  amounts  legally  required to be
withheld  from  such  payments  and  remitted  to the  taxing  authority  of any
jurisdiction  relevant  to the  transaction.  Upon  prior  notice to Seller  and
Seller's  failure to cure  within the period of time  contained  therein,  Buyer
reserves the right to backcharge Seller for any losses,  damages,  claims, costs
and expenses  incurred  resulting from Seller's  breach of any provision of this
Purchase Order.  Buyer may withhold or set-off any payment due under this or any
other  contract  with Seller or any of its  affiliates  in order to recover such
backcharged amounts.

22.  SUBCONTRACTORS,  SUBVENDORS AND  SUBSUPPLIERS.  Buyer reserves the right to
approve or disapprove any subcontractors,  subvendors,  or subsuppliers proposed
by Seller to be involved in Seller's implementation of or performance under this
Purchase Order. Prior to entering into this Purchase Order, Seller will submit a
listing of all such proposed  subcontractors,  subsuppliers,  or subvendors  for
review and approval by Buyer.  Seller agrees that Buyer has the right to contact
or visit any of Seller's subcontractors, subvendors, or subsuppliers directly to
confirm  delivery  commitments or the origin,  composition,  manufacture,  kind,
quantity,  or quality of any Goods  provided  thereunder.  Any approval by Buyer
will not constitute a waiver of any term or condition  hereunder,  at law, or in
equity,  nor relieve  Seller of any obligation  herein.  Seller will ensure that
terms and conditions  substantially  similar to those in this Purchase Order are
contained in any contract issued to any subcontractor,  subsupplier or subvendor
for any  goods,  materials,  equipment,  services,  work or  other  items  to be
provided  under this Purchase  Order.  Upon request,  Seller agrees to submit to
Buyer copies of any contract with any subcontractor,  subvendor,  or subsupplier
(with pricing deleted) for any item procured pertaining to this Purchase Order.

23. INTELLECTUAL  PROPERTY. If applicable to this Purchase Order, any customized
or made-to-order Goods which are first conceived,  designed, created, developed,
fabricated,  or  manufactured  by Seller  under  this  Purchase  Order  (whether
detailed or  conceptual),  and in whatever  form,  including  but not limited to
designs, manufactured items, or developed software and any and all related data,
drawings,  documents and specifications  ("Custom Goods"), are the sole property
of Buyer, or any Owner or other assignee (if so designated in the Purchase Order
or upon request of the Buyer), with title to such vesting upon identification to
this Purchase Order.  Such Custom Goods and any and all related data,  drawings,
documents,  and  specifications  will be  considered  and protected by Seller as
"Buyer  Information"  as set forth in Paragraph 19  hereunder.  Seller will turn
over all such  Custom  Goods  and any  related  data,  drawings,  documents  and
specifications to Buyer or any Owner, including copies thereof, at no additional
charge,  at the  expiration  date of the warranty  period,  or earlier as may be
requested in writing by Buyer . Any  proprietary  designs,  know-how,  software,
development  tools,  processes,  source  code,  programs,  or  systems  owned or
controlled  by  Seller  prior  to the  date of this  Purchase  Order  which  are
incorporated or embedded into the Custom Goods ("Seller Intellectual  Property")
shall remain the intellectual property of Seller, and Seller agrees to grant and
does herein  grant to Buyer and any Owner or their  assignees  a  non-exclusive,
worldwide, transferable, fully-paid and

<PAGE>
Agreement No. CA-0006               12/29/2004 6:21 PM   Page 10 of 11 EXHIBIT 7
- Purchase Order Terms & Conditions

perpetual license to use the Seller Intellectual Property in connection with use
of the Custom Goods. Except for any Seller Intellectual  Property,  Seller shall
not retain any rights to the Custom Goods, in whole or in part. Seller warrants,
represents and covenants that the design, fabrication,  manufacture, production,
sale,  distribution  and  intended  use of the Custom  Work and the Goods do not
infringe  directly or indirectly,  in whole or in part,  any patent,  copyright,
trade secret, trademark, trade name, or other intellectual property right of any
third party. Seller agrees to release,  defend, protect,  indemnify and hold the
Buyer  Indemnitees  harmless  from  and  against  any and all  costs  (including
attorney fees and court costs), expenses, fines, penalties, losses, damages, and
liabilities  arising  out of any  alleged  or actual  patent,  copyright,  trade
secret, trademark, trade name, or other intellectual property right infringement
or other claim, demand or action made by any third party arising from or related
to the design, fabrication,  manufacture,  production, sale, distribution or use
of the Goods or any Custom Goods , however Seller will not be responsible to the
extent of any negligence or fault on the part of any Buyer  Indemnitee as may be
finally determined by a court or arbitrator.  At Buyer's request,  Seller agrees
to execute such additional  documents as may be required by Buyer to confirm the
provisions of this Paragraph  including  legal title in and to the Custom Goods.
The provisions of this Paragraph 23 shall survive the  expiration,  cancellation
or termination of this Purchase Order.

24.   DOCUMENTATION  AND  RIGHT  OF  AUDIT.   Where  Seller's  invoice  includes
compensation  for work  performed at a lump sum, unit rate or for changes in the
work,  Seller will submit  Seller's  determination  of units of work  performed,
substantiated  by  documents  satisfactory  in form and  content to Buyer.  Upon
verification by Buyer of such documents,  Buyer will advise Seller in writing of
either Buyer's acceptance of Seller's  determination,  or of Buyer's alternative
determination of such units.  Where Seller's  invoices include  compensation for
work performed for a reimbursable  price, all costs,  expenses and other amounts
so invoiced will be substantiated and supported by documents satisfactory to and
verified by Buyer.  Seller will maintain for a minimum  period of five (5) years
after  final  payment  has been made to Seller  under  this  Purchase  Order all
records and accounts pertaining to work performed hereunder.  Seller agrees that
Buyer will have the right to audit, copy and inspect,  or cause to have audited,
copied and inspected,  Seller's  records and accounts  pertaining to performance
under  this  Purchase  Order  at all  reasonable  times  during  the  course  of
performance  hereunder  and for a minimum  period of five (5) years  after final
payment has been made to Seller, however,  Buyer's rights will not extend to any
components of any lump sum amounts or unit rates.

25. DEFAULT AND  TERMINATION  FOR CAUSE.  In the event of Seller's (a) actual or
anticipated  breach of or default under any  provision of this  Purchase  Order,
which has not been cured within a reasonable  time after written  notice of such
has been provided to Seller by Buyer; or (b) any  organizational  or operational
change as stated in  Paragraph 14 adversely  affecting,  or which may  adversely
affect, in Buyer's sole judgment and opinion, Seller's performance hereunder; or
(c)  any  actual  or  threatened   bankruptcy,   reorganization,   receivership,
insolvency,  making an  assignment  for the benefit of  creditors,  liquidation,
dissolution,  or other financial or  organizational  instability,  Buyer has the
right,  in addition to any rights or remedies it may have in law, in equity,  or
under this Purchase Order, to require that Seller provide acceptable documentary
or other  appropriate  assurances of performance,  including a performance bond,
letter  of  credit,  or other  type of  guarantee.  Should  Seller  be unable or
unwilling to do so, Buyer has the right to  immediately  terminate this Purchase
Order for cause by written  notice to Seller and Seller  will not be entitled to
any cancellation or termination  charge or other fee or penalty  hereunder,  nor
will Buyer be liable to pay any costs of cancellation.  In such event, Buyer may
immediately take possession of all or any portion of the Goods,  subject only to
an  obligation  to  equitably  compensate  Seller  for same,  including  for any
payments  made by Seller  for  materials  or other work  incorporated  into such
Goods.  Upon  termination  by Buyer as a result of Seller's  default  hereunder,
Seller will be liable to and will  immediately  pay or  reimburse  Buyer for all
reasonable  costs of any  nature  which  may be  incurred  by Buyer to cover any
losses or expenses related to such default and to effect completion of

<PAGE>
Agreement No. CA-0006              12/29/2004 6:21 PM    Page 11 of 11 EXHIBIT 7
- Purchase Order Terms & Conditions

performance  of this  Purchase  Order,  and if  Buyer  does  not  elect  to take
possession  of any portion of the Goods,  Seller  shall also refund to Buyer any
payments  made  to  Seller  for  design  or  other  work  and  materials  to  be
incorporated  into the  Goods.

26.  SITEWORK.  If Seller  performs any work or services on site related to this
Purchase Order or the Goods provided  hereunder,  Buyer's On-Site Services Terms
and Conditions  will apply in addition to the provisions of this Purchase Order,
and are attached to and fully incorporated herein.

27.  CLAIMS AND  DISPUTE  RESOLUTION.  Seller will submit any claims or disputes
arising  under this  Purchase  Order to Buyer in writing  prior to Buyer  making
final  payment.  Buyer's  obligation to make final payment is  conditioned  upon
Seller's  settlement  and release of all claims or disputes.  Seller agrees that
its  failure  to submit  any  claims or  disputes  in  writing by such time will
constitute  an express  waiver by Seller of any legal or  equitable  rights with
respect  to the  subject  matter  of the  claim or  dispute.  For any  claims or
disputes  arising  under this Purchase  Order,  the parties agree to exert their
best  efforts  in good  faith  to try to  resolve  such  issues  through  direct
negotiation between  management.  Seller agrees that any such issues that cannot
be  resolved  through  direct  negotiation  within  a  reasonable  time  will be
submitted to binding arbitration.  Arbitration  proceedings will be conducted by
the American Arbitration  Association ("AAA") in Houston, Texas, before a single
arbitrator,  in accordance with the AAA Commercial  Rules and  Procedures.  Each
party  will  bear  its  own  expenses  in  any  dispute  resolution  process  or
proceeding.  Notwithstanding the existence,  filing, or pendency of any claim or
dispute  under  this  Purchase  Order or with Buyer or any  Owner,  Seller  will
continue to fully perform its obligations  hereunder and will not cease or delay
performance,  fabrication or fail to make any shipment pending resolution of any
claim  or  dispute.  Any  award  of  the  arbitrator  may  be  enforced  in  any
jurisdiction.
