     2. CERTAIN REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF SELLER

     (b)  Manufacturer  maintains a valid  license to use the Marks and will use

Agreement,  it shall not knowingly,  directly or indirectly,  sell or permit the

uses of the Marks upon termination of this Agreement.

     6. PROTECTION OF THE MARKS

     (a) Distributor  shall promptly bring to the attention of Manufacturer  any
infringements  of the Marks of which it may become aware during the term of this
Agreement.  In the  event  Manufacturer,  does not  choose  to take  appropriate
measures to enforce its legal rights as against such infringements,  Distributor
may, if granted written  approval by Manufacturer to do so and, if it reasonably
deems such  measures to be in its best  interests  and in the best  interests of
Manufacturer, at its sole cost and expense, commence appropriate legal action or
proceedings  on behalf of  Manufacturer.  In such event,  Distributor  shall not
consent to any settlement without the prior written consent of Manufacturer.  In
the event  Manufacturer  elect to institute a legal action or proceeding  itself

Distributor for trademark  infringement arising out of or in connection with the
use of the Marks by Distributor.

     (c) Distributor shall indemnify, defend and hold Manufacturer harmless from
and against any and all costs,  including  reasonable  attorney's fees,  losses,
claims,  damages,  liabilities,  judgments,  fines and amounts paid,  including,
without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses arising out of or in
connection  with any threatened or pending  action or  proceeding,  relating to,
arising out of or in connection with (i) Distributor  sales and  distribution of
the Products in violation of this  Agreement,  or (ii) the use by Distributor of
the Mark other than as authorized and approved by Manufacturer.

     7. CERTAIN UNDERTAKINGS OF DISTRIBUTOR

     (a)  Distributor  shall order and purchase the  Products  exclusively  from
Manufacturer,  as the sole manufacturer of the Products, unless otherwise agreed
by Manufacturer.  Therefore  Distributor covenants that during the Term he shall
not distribute or sell any other  manufacturers`  products of the kind set forth
on  Schedule A or any future  products of  Manufacturer  that may become part of
this  Agreement.  Following  termination  of this  Agreement  (other than due to
Manufacturer's  breach  of this  Agreement)  Distributor  shall  not do so for a
period of twelve (12) months.  Distributor  shall  distribute  the Products on a
Territory-wide basis and shall provide Manufacturer,  on a 3-month basis, with a
sales  report  showing  the  actual  gross  amount of sales of the  Products  by
Distributor broken down on a state by state and provincial basis.

     (b) If  Distributor  exhibits its products at any industry or trade show in
the  Territory,  it shall  display the Products in its booth,  in a  surrounding
which shall be consonant with the prestige,  image and high standards of quality
associated  with the  Products.  Distributor  agrees to display the  Products at
major industry trade shows that it participates in.

     (c) Distributor  acknowledges  that any technical data or information fixed
in a tangible  medium of  expression  ("Know-how"),  which may be  disclosed  to
Distributor by Manufacturer in connection with this Agreement is being disclosed
in confidence and that Distributor has no proprietary  interest  therein.  At no
time during the Term or at any time subsequent to the termination  thereof shall
Distributor  divulge to any third party  (other than as required or permitted by
Manufacturer) any element of Know-how divulged to Distributor during the term of
this Agreement.

     8. QUOTAS; MARKETING PLAN

     (a) During each full calendar year of the Original Term,  Distributor shall
endeavor to order at least 10 carousel  printing  machines of the type SPE, SPS,
SP 4000,  as listed in  Schedule A per month,  whereas the type  designation  is
subject to change,  provided that during each full calendar year of the Original
Term, Distributor may order fewer than 10 machines of the type SPE, SPS, SP 4000
in certain  months but an annual amount of orders of 120 of those products and a
minimum aggregate annual sales revenue of Five Million ($5,000,000) U.S. Dollars
has to be reached (the "Quota").  If  Distributor  intends to order more than 10
but no more than 20 Products in a certain month Manufacturer needs a preliminary
lead  time of 12 weeks for  delivery.  If an order for more than 20 but not more
than 30 Products in a certain month is placed the lead time amounts to 20 weeks.
In case of  orders  surmounting  30  Products  a month  the  lead  time is to be
negotiated between Distributor and Manufacturer as the case arises.

     (b) In case of a Renewal  Term the minimum  amount of monthly  orders to be
placed  by  the  Distributor  is  to  be  negotiated  between   Distributor  and
Manufacturer.

     (c) If  Distributor  fails  to  achieve  the  negotiated  Quota in any year
because  he has  ordered  only half the  quantity  of  products  as set forth in
Paragraph 8 (a) or half the minimum quantity  governed in a Renewal Term and the
annual  sales  revenue  falls  below  the  half of the  amount  as set  forth in
Paragraph 8 (a) or the respective  amount  governed in a Renewal Term during the
course of a certain year,  Manufacturer's  sole and exclusive remedy shall be to
terminate this Agreement in accordance with Paragraph 11(b)(ii).

     9. PLACEMENT OF ORDERS; DELIVERY; PRICES; PAYMENT

     (a)  Distributor  shall submit  purchase  orders,  on forms  acceptable  to
Manufacturer, setting for the quantity of Products it may from time to time wish
to  purchase,  including  style and other  pertinent  information.  All purchase
orders are subject to  approval  by  Manufacturer,  which  approval  shall be in
writing  and set forth the price and payment  terms.  Purchase  orders  shall be
deemed complete if no objection is received in writing from  Distributor  within
five (5)  business  days after  confirmation  that the  purchase  order has been
accepted by Manufacturer.  Purchase orders and  confirmations may be transmitted
via telefax and/or e-mail.

     (b) Distributor agrees to purchase and pay for the Products in U.S. Dollars
based upon the current price list provided by Manufacturer.  The said price list
may be modified from time to time but not more than once in any six month period
by written notice to Distributor,  and, any such modification shall apply to all
orders  submitted on or after the date of written  notice to Distributor of such
modification.  The prices charged by Manufacturer  for Products shall not exceed
those prices which the Manufacturer charges its customers generally. Payment for
the  Products  shall  be due  within  90  days of  receipt  of the  Products  by
Distributor.

     (c)  Distributor is indebted to pay due accounts  resulting from deliveries
of the  Manufacturer`s  Products  and must not set off  real or  alleged  claims
against these accounts other than actual credits received from Manufacturer.

     10. WARRANTIES; PRODUCTS LIABILITY

     (a)  Manufacturer  warrants to  Distributor  that the  Products  shipped to
Distributor  will be free from defects in  materials  and  workmanship  and will
conform to approved  samples  and  prototypes.  This  warranty is in lieu of all
other  warranties,  expressed  or implied,  including  the  implied  warranty of
MERCHANTABILITY or fitness for use.  Manufacturer  reserves explicitly the right
to make technical modifications, as long as they represent a quality improvement
of the Products.  Manufacturer  undertakes to accept for credit any items, which
are non-conforming or defective, and to pay for all shipping costs in connection
therewith.  Any such items with obvious or patent  defects  shall be returned to
Manufacturer or otherwise  disposed of within one (1) year after delivery in the
case of items with hidden or latent  defects.  Distributor  shall promptly after
discovery of such defects notify Manufacturer thereof via a special form that is
