Electronics Inc., with offices at 0000 Xxxxxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx, XX 00000 ("Sony"),
and Intek Information Inc. with an address at 000 Xxxxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx

WITNESSETH:
Background. Sony wishes to engage Vendor to perform certain services as more
particularly described in Exhibit A, attached to and made a part of this
Agreement, as well as such other additional and/or modified Services on projects
that may, from time to time be assigned by Sony to and accepted by Vendor
pursuant to the procedures provided herein (the "Services"). Vendor desires to
perform the Services for Sony in such capacity and represents that it possesses
the skills and expertise required to perform the Services.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and premises
hereinabove and hereinafter set forth, the parties hereby agree as follows:
1. SERVICES / SCHEDULE
A. Sony hereby engages Vendor to perform the Services as described in
Exhibit A or as from time to time may be assigned pursuant to Paragraph 1.B.
Vendor agrees to perform the Services in accordance with the highest
professional standards applicable to the performance of like services. Without
in any manner prejudicing the right of Sony to claim that any other breach or
default of this Agreement on the part of Vendor constitutes a material breach or
default, it is understood and agreed that, except as provided under Paragraph
1.D below, the failure of Vendor to perform the Services in any material
respects at the times and in the manner specified shall constitute a material
breach and default of this Agreement on the part of Vendor.
B. Sony may, from time to time, request that Vendor perform additional
services ("Additional Services"). If Vendor accepts such assignments, the
parties shall agree to the parameters of the Additional Services to be
undertaken by executing an Additional Work Authorization in the form of Exhibit
B, attached to and made a part of this Agreement. The Additional Services shall
be considered Services under this Agreement, and shall be performed in
accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and
the Additional Work Authorization specifying the Services to be performed.
C. Sony may periodically request reasonable written reports concerning
Vendor's progress, project status, billing data, and other matters pertaining to
the Services, and Vendor shall promptly provide such reports to Sony at no
additional charge.
D. In the event delay is caused by circumstances beyond either party's
control, including but not limited to fire, strike, war, riots, acts of God
and/or acts of civil or military authority, the time limitation in Paragraph 1.A
above shall be extended to provide for such delay. Immediately upon such an
occurrence, the parties shall enter into good faith discussions as to mutually
acceptable adjustments to or alternate methods of proceeding with the affected
Services, and the impact, if any, on project schedules. If any such delay
continues for a period beyond 30 days, and the parties are unable to agree to an
acceptable adjustments to or alternate methods of proceeding with the affected
Services, then either party may terminate any or all of the affected Services
and/or this Agreement. It is understood and agreed by the parties that this
Section 1.D shall apply if a labor and/or equipment shortage is caused by a
requirement by Sony with notice of less than sixty (60) days which would require
substantial hiring and/or equipment acquisition.
E. Sony shall respond to Vendor inquiries in an expeditious manner to
promote the efficient and effective performance of the Services.
2. COMPENSATION / EXPENSES
A. As full and complete consideration for the Services to be performed by
Vendor, Sony agrees to pay Vendor total fees (hereinafter called the "Fees") in
accordance with this Paragraph 2, inclusive of any and all taxes on the Services
which are Vendors complete responsibility (but which in any case are exclusive
of taxes based on Sony's income or property taxes on Sony owned, leased or
licensed assets). For the Services to be provided under Exhibit A, the Fees
shall be as set forth in Exhibit A. For any Additional Services pursuant to
Paragraph 1.B above, the Fees shall be agreed upon prior to the initiation of
such Additional Services and set forth in the Additional Work Authorization as
provided in Paragraphs 1.B above. Vendor shall only be compensated for
Additional Services pursuant to executed Additional Work Authorizations as
provided in this Agreement. Any work which is not so executed and documented
shall not be entitled to compensation under any legal theory and Vendor hereby
waives any compensation for such additional and/or modified work. Payment of
the Fees shall be subject to performance of the Services as provided herein.
B. The Fees shall include all sums due and owing of every kind and
description including but not limited to mileage, stationery, and special
services such as typing, duplicating costs and mailing expenses. Unless these
costs are specifically agreed to as a separate reimbursable expense item on
Exhibit A or in an Additional Work Authorization, Sony will not pay Vendor
therefor. However, it is understood and agreed by the parties that Fees as used
in this Agreement do not include telecommunications expenses including, but not
limited to, set-up fees, installation fees, taxes on phone services provided on
behalf of Sony, monthly telephone fees for numbers utilized by Vendor in
performing the Services, 800 and 900 number charges, line charges and TI
charges. Whenever possible such charges shall be billed directly to Sony.

C. Vendor represents to Sony that Vendor shall employ good faith efforts
to maintain rates that are the same as or no higher than those charged to other
clients of Vendor for the performance of like services.
D. Unless otherwise specified in Exhibit A or in an Additional Work
Authorization, Invoices are to be submitted monthly and, subject to the terms of
this Agreement, are payable by Sony within thirty (30) days of receipt thereof
by Sony. The parties agree that payment for Services rendered between the
Effective Date and December 31, 1997 has been made in full. Payment for
Services rendered from January 1, 1998 to September 30, 1998 and property
documented by Vendor shall be made by October 30, 1998.
E. Vendor shall maintain complete and accurate accounting records, and
shall retain such records for a period of two (2) years following the date of
the invoice to which they relate. Sony shall have the right, upon reasonable
notice, to audit at any time up to one (1) year after payment of an invoice,
Vendor's records relating to the Fees and expenses billed to Sony in connection
with the Services rendered under this Agreement. Sony will attempt to minimize
any disruption to Vendor's business caused by the audit.
F. In the event Vendor determines that it has any inquiries, problems or
believes there are errors or discrepancies with respect to any amounts due
pursuant to this Agreement, Vendor agrees to give Sony written notice thereof
within one (1) year from the date that the work which gave rise to the inquiry,
problem and/or discrepancy, etc. was performed. Vendor's failure to give Sony
such notice shall constitute a waiver of any and all rights which Vendor may
have to any adjustment, charge or reimbursement by reason thereof.
