PREAMBLE
Adsero currently, through its wholly owned subsidiary Technolaser, sells app.
50,000 remanufactured laser toner cartridges ("Products") to its customer base.
These Products are partially produced in Technolaser's manufacturing facilities
in Montreal, Canada and partially procured from several external sources in
North America and Asia.
Turbon is a manufacturer of imaging supplies with remanufacturing of laser
cartridges being its core competence. Turbon operates manufacturing facilities
in Asia, Europe and North America.
1. COOPERATION
1.1. Turbon will become the strategic supplier of Adsero for
remanufactured laser toner cartridges and will supply Adsero with
prices which will be a) lower than the prices quoted to any other
third party customer of Turbon for the same product under the same
conditions, and b) competitive in the market place.
1.2. Adsero in exchange agrees to give Turbon preferred vendor status,
which means that Adsero will give preference to ordering Products
from Turbon over competitive Products from any other third party as

of the parties is to replace all current vendors of Adsero and
transfer in-house production from Adsero to Turbon where it makes
economic sense.
