         Trademarks for any purpose other than the Threading, Reconstruction,
         use and sale of Atlas Bradford Oil Field Connections on Products and
         Accessory Equipment in strict accord with the terms and conditions of
         this Agreement. Licensee shall also restrict its distributors, agents

<PAGE>

         contemplated under this Agreement, excluding rights to the Atlas

         Grant, (ii) except for customers who are end users purchasing for their

         provided by Licensee may be resold or used in the Grant Territory

         Licensee recommends that it should seek those Connections from Grant
         and (iv) if the customer who is an end user purchases any Atlas
         Bradford Oil Field Connections for ultimate use in the Grant Territory
         (other than Canada), the customer is requested by Licensee to advise
         Licensee of the sale or use. Licensee further agrees that, while
         Licensee will not make any sale of Accessory Equipment Product with an
         Atlas Bradford Oil Field Connection to a customer that is an end user
         if it has actual knowledge that the sale to the end user of the Atlas
         Bradford Oil Field Connection is specifically intended to be resold or
         used in the Grant Territory (other than Canada), Licensee shall not be
         required to make prior inquiry from a customer that is an end user of
         the Product or Accessory Equipment and not engaged in the resale or
         distribution of Products or Accessory Equipment regarding any order
         received by it with respect to the territory in which the Atlas
         Bradford Connection is to be sold or used and may rely solely on the
         purchase order and other communications received at the time the order
         is placed. Licensee further shall not be deemed to have actual
         knowledge that an order is for sale in or use in the Grant Territory
         (other than Canada) solely by reason of Grant or Tenaris advising
         Licensee that it believes the order is for sale in or use in the Grant
         Territory (other than Canada).

(c)      Licensee shall have no rights to Thread or Reconstruct Connections on
         Products or Accessory Equipment for, or to sell or ship Atlas Bradford
         Oil Field Connections on Products or Accessory Equipment incorporating
         Technology, Patents or Trademarks to persons located in the United
         States or its offshore waters or territories or any country or other
         location in which it would be unlawful for a licensee of Grant to do so
         or for which an export license is required by any applicable
         governmental entity absent the receipt of such license or any
         applicable governmental approvals. Upon Licensee's request, Tenaris
         shall, at Licensee's sole cost, give reasonable assistance to support
         Licensee's efforts to obtain any required approvals.

(d)      Licensee represents that either: (i) it is not engaged, nor does it
         intend to be engaged in the business of the Threading or Reconstruction
         of Connections for Products or Accessory Equipment within the Grant
         Territory, or (ii) it is engaged, or intends to be engaged in the
         business of the Threading or Reconstruction of Connections for Products
         or Accessory Equipment within the Grant Territory, but reasonably
         assurances satisfactory to Grant have been given that Licensee will not
         be able to utilize the Technology and Patents in a manner that would
         adversely affect Grant; provided, however, no Licensee shall have any
         rights under the

<PAGE>

         Technology and Patents to Thread, Reconstruct or sell Atlas Bradford
         Oil Field Connections in the Grant Territory (other than Canada).

SECTION 2.3       PATENT INFRINGEMENT

(a)      TENARIS covenants not to bring suit against Licensee for infringement
         of any Patent arising from Licensee's performance in strict accord with
         this Agreement.

(b)      TENARIS shall be primarily responsible for the defense of any
         infringement claims made against Licensee relating to the use of the
         Technology, Patents or Trademarks. Licensee shall promptly give notice
         to TENARIS if Licensee becomes aware of any possible infringement of
         the Technology, Patents or Trademarks in the Territory. Licensee shall
         have no right to bring any action asserting any infringement of the
         Technology, Patents or Trademarks without the prior consent of TENARIS.
         TENARIS shall be entitled to participate and control such actions.
         Licensee shall not be entitled to take any action that would adversely
         affect the right or validity of any Patents, Technology or Trademarks
         without the prior consent of TENARIS, which may be withheld in its sole
         and absolute discretion.

SECTION 2.4       USE OF PRODUCTS BY END USERS

Use of Products and Accessory Equipment by end users (drilling contractors, oil
companies and other similar users) is not restricted by this Agreement and such
end users may use and transfer such Products and Accessory Equipment freely
throughout the world without restriction hereunder.

SECTION 2.5       COMMISSIONS

(a)      Although Licensee shall be restricted from making any sales of Atlas
         Bradford Oil Field Connections in the Grant Territory (other than
         Canada) and shall be required to restrict sales by distributors, agents
         and customers (other than customers who are end users that are
         purchasing for their own use and not for resale), in recognition of
         TENARIS's obligations deriving from Grant's retained rights to the
         Technology and Patents in accordance with the terms of the Master
         Technology License Agreement, Licensee shall pay to TENARIS the
         following commissions (in addition to any other remedies TENARIS may
         have due to Licensee violating this Agreement):

         (i)      A commission equal to: 4% of any payments made to Licensee by
                  a customer or distributor for any Atlas Bradford Oil Field
                  Connections on Products and Accessory Equipment (whether or
                  not the Product that is Threaded is owned by the customer or
                  Licensee or its affiliates prior to the sale) that are
                  Threaded by Licensee during the term of this Agreement and
                  that are ultimately sold or used in the Grant Territory (other
                  than Canada) plus any administrative expenses resulting from
                  collecting the amount set

<PAGE>

                  forth above and any retention or taxes applicable to TENARIS
                  by the Netherlands fiscal authorities for transactions between
                  residents of the Netherlands and the country of Licensee;
                  provided, however, if TENARIS or Licensee cannot or does not
                  demonstrate the amount of the payment made to Licensee for
                  such Atlas Bradford Oil Field Connections and TENARIS is able
                  to demonstrate that such Atlas Bradford Oil Field Connections
                  were Threaded by Licensee during the term of this Agreement,
                  then the commission payable will be based on Licensee's then
                  existing price list for such Atlas Bradford Oil Field
                  Connections.

         (ii)     The foregoing commission shall only be applicable to Products
                  and Accessory Equipment sold or shipped during the term of

                  by Licensee under this Agreement and TENARIS shall be entitled
                  to take action against a distributor or customer that acts in
                  violation of the resale and use restrictions contained herein;
                  and provided further, however, that if a distributor or

Majeure condition, and continues performance under this Agreement with utmost
dispatch when such Force Majeure condition is removed. In the event a Force
Majeure condition results in suspension of performance under this Agreement for

(including any questions as to the existence, validity, termination, discharge,
breach or enforceability of this Agreement and of this arbitration clause),
arise between TENARIS and Licensee, the Parties shall take every reasonable
effort to negotiate an amicable settlement. In the event the Parties are unable
to reach a settlement within thirty (30) days after notice by any of the Parties
is given to the other party acknowledging the existence of a dispute to be
solved in accordance with the provisions of this Section 14.2, then either party
may request arbitration pursuant to the then current rules of the International
Chamber of Commerce domiciled in Paris for arbitration in accordance with the
rules of such organization. Each Party shall appoint one arbitrator of its
choice, and the two appointed arbitrators shall appoint a third arbitrator. A
decision agreed to by at least two of the arbitrators shall be the decision of
the arbitration proceeding. In the event either party fails to appoint an
arbitrator or in the event no agreement is reached between the two arbitrators
as to the appointment of the third arbitrator in accordance with the foregoing
provisions, such arbitrator or arbitrators shall be appointed, upon application
of the interested party, by the Court of Arbitration of the International
Chamber of Commerce. Unless the Parties agree otherwise, the site of the
arbitration shall be New York, New York. Arbitration proceedings shall be
conducted in the English language. Any decision or award of the arbitrators
shall be based solely on the provisions of this Agreement, provided, however,
that to the extent that the subject matter for the decision or award is not
provided for in such provisions, the decision or award shall be based upon the
controlling law of this Agreement, excluding the conflicts of laws provisions
thereof. The arbitrators shall not be requested nor shall they have the power to
render any decision or award except in accordance with the preceding sentence.
The award rendered in any arbitration commenced hereunder shall be final and
conclusive and judgment thereon may be entered in any court having jurisdiction
for its enforcement. Neither party shall appeal to any court from the decision
of the arbitration panel. In addition, except for injunctive relief in aid of
arbitration, neither party shall have any right to commence or maintain any suit
or legal proceeding concerning a dispute hereunder until the dispute has been
determined in accordance with the arbitration procedure provided for herein and
then only for enforcement of the award rendered in such arbitration. Pending
settlement of any dispute, the parties shall abide by their obligations under
this Agreement without prejudice to a final adjustment in accordance with an
award rendered in an arbitration settling such dispute. A party may be entitled
to receive injunctive relief from a court of competent jurisdiction in aid of
arbitration.

SECTION 16.2      NON WAIVER

The failure of one party hereto to enforce at any time any of the provisions of

party of any rights or any elections under the terms of this Agreement shall not
preclude or prejudice such party from exercising the same or any other rights or
elections it may have under this Agreement.

               TUBOS DE ACERO DE MEXICO S.A. WARRANTY TO CUSTOMERS

Licensee warrants that all Materials delivered under this Order shall conform to
the specifications and descriptions listed on the face side hereof or if none
are listed, then to Licensee standard specifications for such Materials. The
foregoing warranty shall continue in effect until such Materials are accepted or
the time period to inspect the same expires, whichever shall first occur, except
for the warranty just given. Licensee HEREBY DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER WARRANTIES OF
EVERY KIND AND CHARACTER WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING THOSE RELATING TO
MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR INTENDED USE. Any misuse
of Materials or the improper application or alteration thereof after delivery by
Licensee shall be at the Buyer's risk and expense. Provided, however, in the
event the Buyer timely rejects any Materials which fail to conform to the
specifications and descriptions of this Order, then Licensee shall have the
option either to replace such Materials at its sole cost and expense or to give
the Buyer credit as to the price therefore. Unless specifically stated in this
Order to the contrary, Licensee shall not be liable for any transportation,
installation, fabrication, inspection, testing or other expenses incurred by the
Buyer or its customers as a result of any breach of warranty herein. In
addition, any claim made by the Buyer against Licensee shall in no event exceed
the invoice price for the specific Materials in question, nor Licensee be liable
for any consequential or incidental damages which may be suffered or incurred on
account of any nonconforming Materials shipped to the Buyer or its customer, it
being agreed that in all cases Licensee shall have the opportunity to remedy and
correct any breach of warranty in the manner provided above and that the
existence of any nonconforming shipment shall not constitute a default unless
the same reoccurs in more than one instance, and provided Licensee fails to give
adequate written assurances to the Buyer after a demand is made therefore.
