(hereinafter called "the Distributor")
It is agreed as follows:
Article 1 Territory and Products
1.1 The supplier grants and the Distributor accepts the right to market and
sell the products listed in Annex I, ss.1 (hereinafter called "the
Products") in the territory defined in Annex, I ss.2 (hereinafter called
the Territory") on a non-exclusive basis.
1.2 If the supplier decides to market any other products in the Territory, it
shall so inform the Distributor in order to discuss the possibility of
including such other products within the Products defined under Article
1.1. However, the above obligation to inform the Distributor does not
apply it in consideration of the characteristics of the new products and
the specialization of the Distributor, it is not to be expected that such
products may be marketed by the Distributor (e.g. products of a completely
different range).
1.3 Distributor is the exclusive Distributor in France and its territories. If
Distributor does not sell at least three ITEMISER(R)'s within the first
three months after the signing of this agreement, Distributor agrees to
purchase three ITEMISER(R)s for its own account. For other countries,
Supplier and Distributor will agree to review this agreement for possible
amendment of exclusivity in that country after three units are sold in
that country.
Article 2 Good faith and fair dealing
2.1 In carrying out their obligations under this contract, the parties will
act in accordance with good faith and fair dealing.
2.2 The provisions of this contract, as well as any statements made by the
parties in connection with this distributorship relationship, shall be
interpreted in good faith.

Supplier, unless previously and specifically authorized to do so by the
latter.
3.4 The Distributor, solely at its discretion, may, in cases in which it does
not want to buy and resell, refer such business to the Supplier for a
direct sale to the customer. For such activity as intermediary the
Distributor will receive a commission as set out in Annex II, ss.1 (if
completed) or otherwise to be agreed upon case by case, to be calculated
and paid according to Annex II, ss.3. It is expressly agreed that activity
as intermediary, to the extent it remains of an accessory character, does
not modify the legal status of the Distributor as a trader acting in its

their availability, and provided payment of the Products is adequately
warranted. The Supplier may not unreasonably reject orders received from
the Distributor; in particular, a repeated refusal of orders contrary to
good faith (e.g. if made for the purpose of hindering the Distributor's
activity) shall be considered as a breach of contract by the Supplier.
7.2 The Supplier agrees to make its best efforts to fulfill the orders it has
accepted.
7.3 Sales of the Products to the Distributor shall be governed by the
Supplier's general conditions of sale, the currently applicable version of

(Vienna 1980). In

Products in the Territory, provided the Distributor informs the Supplier
before the engagement.

about the Distributors activities, market conditions and the state of
competition within the Territory. The Distributor shall answer any
reasonable request for information made by the Supplier.

about: (i) the laws and regulations which are applicable in the Territory

relevant for the Supplier, the laws, and regulations concerning the
Distributors activity.

of notice must coincide with the end of a calendar month.

19.1 Each party may terminate this contract with immediate effect, by notice
given by means of communication ensuring evidence and date of receipt
(e.g. registered mail with return receipt,
Page 54
courier service, or fax transmission), in case of substantial breach by
the other party of the obligations arising out of the contract, or in case
of exceptional circumstances justifying the earlier termination.
19.2 Any failure by a party to carry out all or part of its obligations under
the contract resulting in such detriment to the other party as to
substantially deprive such other party of what it is entitled to expect
under the contract, shall be considered a substantial breach for the
purpose of Article 19.1 above. Circumstances in which it would be
unreasonable to require the terminating party to continue to be bound by
this contract shall be considered as exceptional circumstances for the
purpose of Article 19.1 above.
19.3 The parties hereby agree that the violation of the provisions under
Articles 4 and 7 of the present contract is to be considered a prima facie

of the contractual obligations may be considered a substantial breach if

fulfill the contract obligations.
19.4 The parties agree that the following situations shall be inter alia
considered as exceptional circumstances which justify the earlier
termination by the other party: bankruptcy, moratorium, receivership,
liquidation or any kind of arrangement between debtor and creditors, or
any other circumstances which are likely to affect substantially that
party's ability to carry out its obligations under this contract.
19.5 The parties agree that the contract may also be terminated by the Supplier
with immediate effect in case of change of control, ownership and or
management of the Distributor.
19.6 If a party terminates the contract invoking this Article, but the reasons
(if any) put forward by that party do not justify the earlier termination,
the termination will be effective, but the other party will be entitled to
damages for the unjustified earlier, termination. Such damages will be
equal to the average profits of the sales of the Products for the period
of the contract would have lasted in case of normal termination, based on
the turnover of the preceding year, unless the damaged part proves that
the actual damage is higher (or, respectively, the party having terminated
the contract proves that the actual damage is lower).
Article 20 Indemnity in case of termination
20.1 The Distributor shall not be entitled to an indemnity for goodwill or
similar compensation ("indemnity") in case of termination of the contract.
20.2 The above provision does not affect the Distributor's right to claim
damages for breach of contract insofar as the termination by the Supplier
amounts to such a breach, and is not already covered by Article 19.6.
Article 21 Return of documents and products in stock
21.1 Upon expiry of this contract, the Distributor shall return to the Supplier
all promotional material and other documents and samples with have been
supplied to it by the Supplier and are in the Distributor's possession.

contract on usual terms.
Article 22 Arbitration - Applicable law

distribution contracts, with the exclusion - subject to Article 22.3

law of the country where the Distnbutor is established which would be

provisions will be taken into account to the extent they embody principles
which are universally recognized and provided their application appears
reasonable in the context of international trade.

contract.
Article 24 Previous Agreements - Modifications - Nullity - Assignment
24.1 This contract replaces any other preceding agreement between the parties

writing. However, a party may be precluded by its conduct from asserting
the invalidity of additions or modifications made in writing to the extent
that the other party has relied on such conduct.

unenforceable, the contract will be construed as a whole to effect as
closely as practicable the original intent of the parties; however, if for
good cause, either party would not have entered into the contract knowing
the interpretation of the contract resulting from the foregoing, the
contract itself shall be null.
