WHEREAS, UDW has developed and owns proprietary payment processing software (the "UDW Software"); and
WHEREAS, UDW shall, at its own expense, integrate the UDW Software and such other software as Hyundai may identify (the "Other Software") with the Machines so that the Machines with the integrated UDW Software (the "Enhanced Machines") possess the increased functionality that HYUNDAI and UDW mutually agree upon, thereby increasing the resale value of the Enhanced Machines; and
WHEREAS, the Parties shall put forth their respective best efforts to facilitate the resale by UDW, through HYUNDAI, of Machines and Enhanced Machines having an aggregate resale value of at least Twenty Five Million ($25,000,000)(such amount, the "Minimum Revenues") from customers in UDW Territory by March 31, 2008; and
WHEREAS, UDW shall have the exclusive right to sell Enhanced Machines in the UDW Territory during the term of this Agreement; and
WHEREAS, HYUNDAI shall arrange for the manufacture, transportation, warehousing and insurance and otherwise maintain title ownership over the Machines until they are to be resold by UDW in the UDW Territory, at which time, title in the Machines shall pass to UDW (as described herein); and
WHEREAS, HUYNDAI will install the Machines and Enhanced Machines resold and/or leased by UDW in the UDW Territory and provide warranty and maintenance service for such Machines and Enhanced Machines; and
WHEREAS, UDW will provide maintenance for the UDW Software incorporated into Enhanced Machines; and
WHEREAS, HYUNDAI shall have the exclusive right to sell and maintain Machines and Enhanced Machines in all countries of the world outside of UDW Territory (the "Hyundai Territory"), with UDW providing maintenance support of the UDW Software for an agreed maintenance fee (to be determined);
WHEREAS, in order to facilitate HYUNDAI's ability to sell Enhanced Machines in the Hyundai Territory, HYUNDAI shall be permitted to set up new entities in each country in the Hyundai Territory that use the name Hyundai UDW or a name incorporating both such names. HYUNDAI shall be the sole owner of each such entity and HYUNDAI's only obligation to UDW for incorporating UDW's name into any such entity is, inter alia, to pay UDW a royalty (to be mutually agreed by the Parties at such date) for the use of UDW's name, the incorporation of the UDW Software and the UDW transaction fee (where applicable) in the Enhanced Machines sold in the Hyundai Territory; and
WHEREAS, in accordance with the Stock Purchase Agreement, UDW is issuing and delivering to Hyundai the Warrant; and
WHEREAS, the Warrant will expire on the tenth (10th) anniversary of its date and cover a number of shares that will permit Hyundai to achieve and maintain a Thirty-Nine and Nine-Tenths Percent (39.9%) ownership interest in UDW Common Stock on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Warrant; and
WHEREAS, Hyundai and UDW have agreed to share the Gross Profits to be recognized by UDW from the sale of lease in the UDW Territory of Machines and Enhanced Machines; and
WHEREAS, the formula UDW and Hyundai have agreed on provides UDW with Fifty Percent (50%) of Gross Profits and provides Hyundai with a credit for the remaining Fifty Percent (50%) of such Gross Profits; and
WHEREAS, UDW and Hyundai have agreed that Hyundai may, at its election, take its proportion of the Gross Profits in the form of cash and/or Warrant Shares; and
WHEREAS, the Warrant will vest and become exercisable, in accordance with its terms, as Hyundai is credited with its proportion of the Gross Profit; and
WHEREAS, in the event the Minimum Revenues are not recognized by UDW by March 31, 2008, Hyundai shall pay UDW a Minimum Revenues Adjustment (as such term is defined in Section 7.4 of the Stock Purchase Agreement) over and above the purchase price it paid for the Escrow Shares;

3.7 Gross Profits Audit. Upon reasonable advance notification by HYUNDAI, UDW shall, during normal business hours, make its financial records available to HYUNDAI for review and audit for the purposes verifying the accurate calculation of Gross Profits recognized by UDW from the sale or lease of Machines and Enhanced Machines in the UDW Territory.
