          cure such default within 7 days,  Client may terminate the contract by
          sending written notice of termination to MCM, whereupon MCM shall have
          no further liability  whatsoever to Client on the Project and/or under
          the contract  documents,  provided that regardless of any termination,

                 PURCHASE ORDER TERMS & CONDITIONS - EXHIBIT "A"

1.   MCM IS AGENT ONLY.  Subcontractor/supplier  acknowledges that MCMUSA, INC.,
     ("MCM") is functioning  as agent for the Client in all regards,  and not as
     principal.  Subcontractor/Supplier hereby agrees to look only to the Client
     for  payment and under no  circumstances  will MCM be liable for payment of
     invoices for any labor or material supplied.

2.   INVOICES AND PAYMENT.  Timely invoicing by each  Subcontractor/Supplier  is
     critical to the  Client's  ability  and desire to  complete  the Project in
     accordance with its budget.  Subcontractor/supplier  will deliver to MCM by
     the close of business  each Friday an itemized  bill for work and materials
     rendered  during  preceding  seven (7)  calendar  days.  The  Client is not
     obligated  to pay for any  work  performed  more  than 14 days  before  the
     invoice is delivered to MCM by  Subcontractor.  Invoices are to be prepared
     as described in Schedule A to these Terms and Conditions.  MCM will review,
     approve  (if  appropriate,  in MCM's sole  discretion),  and  forward  such
     invoices to the Client.  Subcontractor/Supplier  acknowledges  that payment
     for all work and  materials  will be made directly by the Client and not by
     MCM,  and that the  Client  will make such  payment,  delivered  to MCM for
     transmittal  to  the  Subcontractor/Supplier,   upon  satisfaction  of  the
     conditions for a delivery of such sum to the Subcontractor/Supplier.  It is
     a condition  precedent to the  Subcontractor/Supplier's  receipt of payment
     for  invoices  submitted  to MCM,  that MCM will have  received  a check in
     respect of such invoice from the Client. Subcontractor further acknowledges
     that  the  Client  will  hold  back  [*]  percent  [*]  from  each  payment
     ("Retainage").  It is a condition precedent to payment of the final invoice
     and  Retainage  that  the  Subcontractor/Supplier   complete  the  list  of
     incomplete or improperly  completed work prepared by MCM or the Client, the
     Client   pays   the   final   invoice   and   Retainage,   and   that   the
     Subcontractor/Supplier  delivers to MCM releases of all liens and rights to
     lien. MCM will notify the  Subcontractor/Supplier  when checks are received
     and  ready  for  distribution.  The  waiver  of  lien  will  be sent to the
     Subcontractor/Supplier by MCM upon invoicing the Client.

3.   SIGNED MCM PURCHASE ORDERS REQUIRED.  Subcontractor/Supplier  must sign and
     return to MCM one copy of the MCM Purchase Order before making  delivery of
     any  item  or  performing  any  work.  No  verbal  orders  are  acceptable.
     AMENDMENTS TO THE PURCHASE ORDER SHALL BE BINDING ON MCM AND CLIENT ONLY IF
     IN WRITING AND SIGNED BY MCM'S  DIRECTOR  OF  OPERATIONS  OR MCM'S  PROJECT
     MANAGER.  ADDED WORK - CHANGE ORDERS.  ABSOLUTELY NO WORK,  BEYOND EXISTING
     PURCHASE  ORDER,  SHALL BE  PERFORMED  WITHOUT A  PURCHASE  ORDER FROM MCM.
     PROJECT  FOREMEN ARE NOT AUTHORIZED TO ISSUE VERBAL  APPROVALS OR SIGN WORK
     SLIPS.  INVOICES  SUBMITTED FOR PAYMENT OF WORK PERFORMED WITHOUT AN ISSUED
     PURCHASE  ORDER  WILL NOT BE  PROCESSED.  ALL EXTRA  WORK MUST BE  INVOICED
     AGAINST THE ISSUED  PURCHASE  ORDER AND NOT AGAINST THE  ORIGINAL  PURCHASE
     ORDER FOR THE BASE JOB.

4.   WARRANTY. Subcontractor/Supplier shall warranty its work for [*] year after
     the date of Substantial Completion or within [*] year after acceptance from
     Client or within such longer  period of time as may be prescribed by law or
     by  terms of any  applicable  special  warranty  required  by the  Contract
     Documents. If any of the Work is found to be defective or not in accordance
     with the Contract Documents,  the  Subcontractor/Supplier  shall correct it
     promptly after receipt of notice from MCM or the Client.

5.   INSURANCE  REQUIREMENTS.  Subcontractor  will provide MCM with an insurance
     certificate naming MCM and the Client as additional insured.  Subcontractor
     will not start work until MCM receives an insurance certificate  indicating
     the following  coverage.  Telecopier  copies of insurance  certificates are
     acceptable to start a job, but Subcontractor agrees no payment will be made

                        INVOICING PROCEDURE - Exhibit "A"

o    All  subcontractors,  suppliers and consultants are to invoice each project
     weekly.

o    Invoices are to be sent to MCM for approval. MCM will forward to Client for
     payment.

o    Bills must  arrive at MCM on Friday of each week.  Invoices  are to include
     all labor and materials used on the project from Saturday AM through Friday
     PM.

o    MCM will accept  invoices via fax,  provided that it is readable and can be
     xeroxed.  The original invoice (that is mailed) must be clearly marked with
     a stamp showing that is was faxed (on date).

o    Invoice  for the bill for the  GROSS  AMOUNT.  DO NOT  CALCULATE  RETAINAGE
     DEDUCTION.  DO NOT  bill the  Retainage  at the end of the  project.  MCM's
     system tracks it and automatically invoices all Retainage that is on hold.

o    Your requisition for payment must include the following information:

                  Total Contract Amount:
                  Amount Previously Applied for:
                  Balance:
                  Amount of Current Requisition:

     If your invoice is different than what we require,  you may submit a backup
     sheet that resembles the example.

o    All invoices must include MCM's purchase order number and project number.

o    Separate  purchase orders will be issued for all change orders. DO NOT bill
     changes with base job or group several purchase orders on one invoice.

o    If your invoice for partial  payment is determined  to be too high,  MCM at
     its option will reduce the amount and submit it for  payment.  We will send
     you a copy of the reduced  invoice.  You will be required to reinvoice that
     portion that was not approved. MCM will not automatically do this.

o    Upon notification that the project is being "closed out", all invoices must
     be submitted immediately.
     Any invoice not submitted may not be honored by the Client at a later date.

Member's  responsibility to AAAD and "MAFC" for its faithful  performance of and
compliance  with this Agreement with respect to those ANAs, and shall commit the
participating  AAAD Member to continue its faithful  performance  and compliance

                                DELIVERY/RETURN

1.     Delivery of  merchandise by AAAD Members to ANAs will be of the same type
       and  frequency  as  customarily  provided for the AAAD  Member's  similar
       customers in the same area,  provided however,  that at least [*] will be
       available to each store on a freight  prepaid  basis.  The minimum weight
       and/or value for freight  prepaid  shipments  and any product  exclusions
       will be the same for ANAs as the  policy  for the AAAD  Member's  similar
       customers in the same area.

2.     Authorized  new returns  from ANAs to an AAAD Member  warehouse  shall be
       shipped  freight  prepaid unless picked up by the AAAD Member's truck. No
       return or handling  charge will apply to saleable  service parts returned
       from  an ANA to the  AAAD  Member  unless  otherwise  set  forth  in this
       Agreement.

3.     [*]  charges  will  apply  for new  returns  made  within  30 days of the
       original delivery date. The AAAD member shall pick up this merchandise on
       a regular basis during normal delivery cycles. New returns made after the
       30 day period will be subject to a [*]% handling charge.

4.     [*] charges will apply for qualified core and warranty returns.  The AAAD
       Member shall pick up this  merchandise  on a regular  basis during normal
       delivery cycles.

5.     An annual new return allowance of [*]% (also known as a stock adjustment)
       of the prior year's net  purchases  by ANA location  will be allowed with
       [*] charges.  The ANA will place an offsetting  order of equal or greater
       value with the supplying AAAD Member at the time of this return.  Returns
       in excess of [*]% of prior year's net purchases will be subject to a [*]%
       handling  charge.  This  handling  charge will be waived during the first
       year of  inventory  placed in any ANA  facility to allow for proper stock
       level and inventory movement.

6.     Supply and expense items and non-service parts (unless in unopened,  full
       case  quantities),  special  order items not carried in the AAAD Member's
       regular  inventory,  and parts  obtained from sources other than the AAAD
       Member are not returnable from operating or closed ANAs.

                              INVENTORY MANAGEMENT

1.     AAAD and "MAFC" recognize and agree that proper inventory  management and
       maintenance of  satisfactory  service levels are important to the success
       of the program.  It is intended  that AAAD Members shall manage the ANA's
       service parts inventories and have products available to provide the best
       potential  for high  utilization  of the  stocked  inventory  in each ANA
       location.  ANA's shall provide AAAD Members with the  quantities and part
       numbers of merchandise purchased from sources (local purchase) other than
       AAAD Members.

2.     It is recognized and  acknowledged by both "MAFC" and AAAD that there are
       many factors which affect ANA's service  proportions  from Members versus
       local purchases, some of which are controllable by Members, some by ANAs,
       and some, such as strikes,  natural disasters,  and acts of God which are
       not controllable by either.

3.     In order to properly manage ANA inventories,  periodic ANA visits by AAAD
       Member  representatives are required, the frequency and duration of which
       will vary in relation to ANA's parts usage and inventory  control  needs;
       however,  AAAD Member  representatives  shall make at least one (1) visit
       every other week to each ANA they are servicing unless otherwise mutually
       agreed.

4.     Service parts will be removed from individual  ANA's  inventories  before
       said  parts  become  discontinued  or  obsolete.  In the  event a  vendor
       discontinues  or  obsoletes a part or parts,  the AAAD Member must accept
       the return of those parts from the ANAs. "MAFC" shall receive full credit
       from AAAD for the  amount  paid.  "MAFC"  shall then be  responsible  for
       credit to the ANA store that such inventory was removed from.

5.     It is agreed that the aggregate of the inventory  maintained for each ANA
       store  shall be  approximately  $[*].  The maximum  inventory  levels and
       average  monthly  purchase  volume  levels  will  be  adjusted   annually
       beginning  January 1, 2005.  The  adjustment  will be mutually  agreeable
       between the serving AAAD Member and the ANA franchisee.

1.     All  billing  and  accounts  payable  information  with  respect  to this
       Agreement must be received by electronic  data  transmission  in a format

       records of "MAFC" and AAAD.  AAAD shall  provide and  maintain a complete
       item file, or other mutually agreed upon method,  to enable MNA to verify
       products,  prices and codes on parts sold to ANA's  hereunder.  A billing
       month will start with shipments made on the 10th day of the month and end
       with  shipments  made on the 9th day of the next month.  "MAFC" agrees to
       make  prompt  payment  of  invoices  as due and to  provide  to AAAD  via
       Electronic  Data  Transmission,  or other  mutually  agreed upon  method,
       identification and amount of each invoice being paid.

2.     Payment from "MAFC" to AAAD on behalf of the  purchases  made by each ANA
       store,  from each AAAD member,  shall be twelve (12) times per year;  due
       the 29th day of each  month;  but in no event later than 21 days past the
       end of the  billing  month as set in  Paragraph  1 above.  Further,  AAAD
       recognizes that MAFC desires to make 9 payments per year. AAAD recognizes
       and  agrees  to  negotiate  in good  faith  with  regard  to the  payment
       structure at the [*] anniversary or renewal of this agreement.
