      responsible for any late, lost or misdirected shipments and will not be
      liable for any damage, loss or expense incurred by Retailer for a failure
      to meet specified shipment dates or a failure to provide the correct
      quantity of Products ordered. ZMC will use commercially reasonable efforts
      to deliver orders on the date identified on the acknowledgement. If ZMC is

      Products purchased hereunder are subject to Retailer's inspection and
      acceptance provided that if Retailer has not rejected the Products in

      set forth ZMC's "Suggested Retail Price" for the Products. The Retailer is
      under no obligation to accept such Suggested Retail Price and may sell for
      less if it chooses. If it chooses to sell at prices less than those
      suggested, the Retailer will not suffer in any way in its business
      relations with ZMC or any other person over whom ZMC has control or
      influence. However, the Retailer shall not represent, either directly or
      indirectly, to any person that the suggested retail price for any Product
      is greater than the Suggested Retail Price.

      request. The Retailer shall prepare, keep current and retain records, in
      accordance with such policies and procedures designated by ZMC, in support
      of all requests to ZMC for reimbursement or credit.

      unreasonably withheld, interview the Retailer's employees with respect to
      the matters described in this section.

      Retailer's breach of this Agreement, (d) omissions, misrepresentations, or

                  10.1        
      Trademark License.

                   

                  ZMC
      hereby grants Retailer a non-exclusive, revocable (upon termination
      hereof), non-transferable, non-assignable, limited license to use the
      "ZMC" name and ZMC's product names solely for the purpose of accurately
      identifying the ZMC-branded Products it markets and sells that are
      purchased pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. All goodwill generated
      as a result of Retailer's use of the ZMC name and ZMC product names is
      solely for the benefit of ZMC. Retailer agrees to change or correct, at
      its own expense, any material or activity that ZMC decides is inaccurate,
      objectionable or misleading or a misuse of ZMC's name, trademarks, service
      marks, or ZMC's logos or copyrighted works. Failure to forthwith correct
      any changes required by ZMC may result in a termination of the license
      contained in this section, in ZMC's sole discretion. All ZMC marks shall
      be used in accordance 'with ZMC's communications guidelines in effect from
      time to time. Retailer is prohibited from: (a) implying that Retailer and
      ZMC are partners or creating the impression that ZMC is affiliated with
      Retailer; (b) registering or using any domain name or business name
      containing or confusingly similar to any name or mark of ZMC's; and (c)
      not clearly and prominently identifying itself in all offers and
      advertising, marketing and promotional materials relating to ZMC Products
      sold under this Agreement.

                   

                  10.2        
      ZMC Proprietary Rights.

                   

                  Retailer
      acknowledges and agrees that ZMC (and/or its licensors) will retain all
      Proprietary Rights (as defined below) in the Products, Trademarks and any
      documentation related to any of the foregoing (collectively the "ZMC
      Property"). "Proprietary Rights" means all right, title and interest to
      the intellectual property contained in the ZMC Property including but not
      limited to any and all patent rights, patent applications, rights to apply
      for patents, copyrights, copyright registrations, trade secrets,
      trademarks, service marks, trademark and service mark registrations and
      all related goodwill. Retailer acknowledges and agrees that the purchase
      of any Products does not grant or convey Retailer any right or license in
      any of the ZMC Property other than as expressly provided for in this
      Agreement.

                      Retailer
      shall not remove, alter, modify or obscure any ZMC trademark, logo or

                      During
      the term of this Agreement and after its expiration or termination,
      Retailer shall not, directly or indirectly: (i) dispute or contest, for
      any reason whatsoever, ZMC's ownership of any Proprietary Rights embodied
      in, related to or derivable from the ZMC Property, or the validity or
      enforceability of any such Proprietary Rights; (ii) oppose or interfere
      with any application for registration of any Proprietary Rights embodied
      in, related to or derivable from the ZMC Property; (iii) interfere with
      the manufacture, use or sale of the Products or any future version
      thereof, by ZMC or any of its licensees, successors or assigns; or (iv)
      counsel, procure or assist anyone else to do any of the

                      11.1        
      Relationship of Parties.

                       

                      Other
      than as provided herein, this Agreement does not create any exclusive
      arrangement between the parties, and either party hereto may meet,
      exchange information, enter into agreements and conduct business
      relationships of any kind with third parties, to the exclusion of the
      other party. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement
      (including without limitation, the confidentiality obligations described
      in Section 4.1) and except as otherwise agreed to in writing by the
      parties, discussion and/or communications between the parties will not
      serve to impair the right of either party to develop, make, use, procure,
      and/or market products or services now or in the future that may be
      competitive with those offered by the other, nor to develop and provide
      products to competitors of the other party.

                       

                      11.2         Force
      Majeure.

                       

                      If
      the performance of this Agreement or any obligation under it (except
      payment of monies due) is prevented, restricted or interfered with by
      reason of acts of God, acts of government, or any other cause not within
      the control of either party, the party so affected shall be excused from
      such performance, but only for so long as and to the extent that such a
      force prevents, restricts or interferes with that party's performance. The
      party affected by the other party's delay or inability to perform may
      elect to suspend this Agreement for the duration of the force majeure
      condition and (i) at its option buy, sell, obtain or furnish elsewhere
      material to be bought, sold, obtained or furnished under this Agreement
      and (ii) once the force majeure condition ceases, resume performance under
      this Agreement. When the delay or nonperformance continues for a period of
      a least thirty (30) days, either party may terminate this Agreement or any
      part of it relating to Products not already shipped.

                       

                      11.3        
      Assignment.

                       

                      Retailer
      may not assign its rights or obligations under this Agreement, without the
      prior written consent of ZMC, which consent shall not be unreasonably
      withheld.

                      All
      notices required to be given under this Agreement and any communication
      sent with respect to this Agreement shall be given in
      writing and shall be deemed received by the party to whom
    the

                      (b)            on

      party, at the addresses first written above.

      Press Release.

                         

                        Retailer
      shall not issue a press release relating to this Agreement or to the
      subsequent addition of any Products hereto without ZMC's written
      consent.

                         

                        11.6         
      Severability.

                         

                        Whenever
      possible, each provision of this Agreement will be interpreted in such
      manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any
      provision of this Agreement is held to be prohibited by or invalid under
      applicable law, the parties will negotiate in good faith to restate such
      provision to reflect the original intentions of the parties as nearly as
      possible in accordance with applicable law and the remaining provisions of
      this Agreement shall be enforced as if this Agreement was entered into
      with the restated provision.

                         

                        11.7          Applicable
      Law.

                         

                        This
      Agreement shall be governed by and enforced in accordance with the laws of
      the Canadian Province of Ontario without reference to its conflict of laws
      principles. The parties waive all rights they may have to a trial by jury.
      The rights and obligations under this Agreement shall not be governed by
      the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of
      Goods, the application of which is expressly excluded.

                         

                        11.8         
      Dispute Resolution.

                         

                        All
      disputes arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or the breach
      thereof, including any questions regarding its existence, validity or
      termination shall be resolved by arbitration before a single arbitrator
      with knowledge and experience in the field of electric and low speed
      vehicle technology pursuant to the International Arbitration Rules of the
      American Arbitration Association and shall be held in Toronto, Canada.
      Notwithstanding the foregoing, each party shall be entitled to seek
      injunctive relief from any court of competent jurisdiction with respect to
      protection of its intellectual property rights. The governing law shall be
      the law of Ontario, Canada.

                         

                        11.9          Entire

      Agreement and all Attachments hereto constitute the final written
      expression of all terms of the Agreement relating to the transactions
      described herein. This Agreement supersedes all previous communications,
      representations, agreements, promises or statements, either oral or
      written, with respect to such transactions. No addition to or modification
      of any provision of this Agreement will be binding unless made in writing
      and signed by the parties hereto.

      Survival.

                         

                        Any
      provision of this Agreement which by its use or context is intended to
      survive the termination of this Agreement shall so survive, including,
      without limitation, Sections 4, 0, 9.3, and 11 shall bind the parties and
      their legal representatives, successors, heirs and

      export control laws, including the U.S. Export Administration Regulations,
      as well as end-user, end-use and destination restrictions issued by the
      U.S. and other governments. Retailer assures that it will comply with all

      re-exports controlled products or technical data obtained from ZMC or any
      products produced directly from the controlled products or technical
      data.

                 

                11.12      Language.

                 

                The
