WHEREAS, EBT is desirous of marketing to third-party customers
("CUSTOMERS") EBT's electronic billboards for display of advertising
("SYSTEMS") both within and outside the United States (collectively
"TERRITORY");
WHEREAS, it is proposed that EBT obtain the agreement of Customers for

NOW THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the premises, the receipt and

1.
APPOINTMENT OF AGENT
1.1 Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, EBT hereby

1.2 Agent shall be the exclusive representative of EBT within the
Territory for marketing the Systems to the Customers identified in Exhibit A
hereto ("PROTECTED CUSTOMERS"), but Agent shall not be the exclusive
representative of EBT with respect to Customers not identified in Exhibit A

Unprotected Customer's facilities, shall be deemed to be a Protected Customer
as of the date when Agent (1) first marketed the System to such Unprotected
Customer

2
by actual in-person presentation, and (2) Agent had given EBT reasonable notice
of the presentation date, regardless of whether EBT accepts or declines to
attend the presentation.
1.3 For purposes of this Agreement, a Customer shall be deemed to
include all divisions, subsidiaries and controlled affiliates of a Customer,
including all of its, and their, physical facilities within the Territory.
1.4 A Customer which is, or becomes, a Protected Customer shall not
cease to be a Protected Customer for any reason except mutual consent of EBT
and Agent.
2.
DUTIES OF AGENT
2.1 Agent shall use Agent's best efforts to promote and market the
Systems to Customers during the Term of this Agreement. Such promotion and
marketing efforts shall be conducted by Agent as follows:
(a) Identifying Unprotected Customers, and promptly disclosing
these to EBT;
(b) Contacting Customers and arranging for and coordinating the
presentation of the Systems to the Customers;
(c) Providing to EBT all results of Agent's marketing efforts on
behalf of EBT on a monthly basis;

performance of Agent's duties under this Agreement.
2.2 Agent shall pay Agent's expenses in the performance of this
Agreement.
2.3 Agent shall use only technical and promotional materials with

provided and approved, shall be at the sole risk and responsibility of EBT, and
EBT shall indemnify, defend and hold Agent harmless with respect thereto.
2.4 Agent shall, during the term of this Agreement, immediately notify
EBT if Agent elects to represent, or offer to represent, or market, sell or

3.
LIMITATIONS OF AGENT'S AUTHORITY
3.1 Agent has, and may exercise, no authority to make statements or
representations concerning the Systems that exceed, or are inconsistent with,
the promotional and technical materials provided, or approved, by EBT. Agent
has and may exercise no authority to bind EBT to any undertaking or performance
with respect to the Systems.
3.2 Agent shall not, without prior written approval from an authorized
representative of EBT, incur any expense or obligation in the name of EBT, or,
except as shall be inherent in the use of the technical and promotional
materials provided to Agent or approved by EBT incident to this Agreement, use
EBT's name, trade names, trademarks or logos in connection with Agent's
business other than in the manner expressly authorized by EBT and this
Agreement.
4.
DUTIES OF EBT
4.1 At the request of Agent, EBT shall promptly evaluate the
qualifications for the Systems of prospective Customers identified by Agent.
EBT reserves the right, in EBT's discretion, to reject any prospective Customer
identified by Agent, but only for a material reason related to (1) the
Customer's financial credibility, or (2) an inability of EBT to meet the
production and installation requirements set forth by the Customer, or (3) an
inability of EBT to agree to economical terms with the Customer, or by mutual
agreement between EBT and Agent, provided that the basis for any such rejection
shall be given to Agent, in detail, by notice in writing to Agent within
forty-five (45) days of Agent's identification of a prospective Customer to
EBT. In addition, if EBT shall, within a period of thirty-six (36) months
following any such notice of rejection of a Customer to Agent enter into any
arrangement with the rejected Customer for the placement or use of an Operating
System with such Customer, such Customer shall automatically become, and
thereafter remain, a Protected Customer for purposes of this Agreement.
4.2 EBT shall use commercially reasonable efforts to enter into
agreements with Advertising Marketers for the sale of advertising to be
displayed on the Operating Systems ("ADVERTISING"). Such Advertising Marketers
shall be required to conform all such Advertising to the requirements set forth
in any agreements between EBT and a Customer through whose Operating System
such Advertising is displayed unless such conformance would violate any
antitrust laws. Such Advertising Marketers shall be required to maintain
separate records for, and shall invoice and collect into a separate account,
and separately account to EBT and Agent for, all Revenues generated by the
Operating Systems and distribute and account to EBT, Agent and the Customers
for those Revenues in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.
4.3 EBT shall timely manufacture, or cause to be manufactured, install,
or cause to be installed, make operable and maintain the Operating Systems.
Agent shall not be responsible for any expenses incurred by EBT in its duties
under this paragraph.
3
4
4.4 EBT shall process orders to manufacture Systems on a
first-in-first-out basis, based on the dates purchase orders are received by
EBT.
5.
REVENUE
5.1 All Revenue shall be collected for the joint account of EBT, Agent,
Customer and the Advertising Marketer providing the Advertising which generates
such Revenue. Such Revenue, less the amount thereof distributable to the
Advertising Marketer, shall be distributed to EBT for the account of EBT,
Customers and Agent, on or before the 15th day of the calendar month following
the month during which such Revenue was collected ("DISTRIBUTION REVENUE").
Distribution Revenue of Agent and Protected Customers shall then be disbursed
by EBT to Agent for the account of Agent and the Protected Customers within
fifteen (15) days in accordance with the schedule provided in Exhibit B hereto
("DISTRIBUTION SCHEDULE"). Upon receipt thereof from EBT, Agent shall
distribute to the Protected Customers their Distribution Revenue. Agent
indemnifies and releases EBT of all liability for non-payment of Distribution
Revenue to the Protected Customers by Agent.
5.2 With each disbursement of Distribution Revenue, there shall be
provided to Agent the following:
(a) A description of the sources of the Distribution Revenue by
Advertising Marketer, Advertising purchaser, Customer and Customer
Operating System facility;
(b) A description of the unpaid, but accrued Advertising balance
owed by each Advertising purchaser by Customer and Customer
Operating System facility; and,
(c) A description of the deductions from Revenue permitted herein,
or otherwise by written agreement between EBT and Agent, if any,
for the payment period in reduction of Distribution Revenue.
5.3 For purposes of this Agreement, Revenue shall be, and include, the
gross purchase price of the purchased Advertising, which gross purchase price
shall be the sum of the aggregate consideration therefor paid in cash, plus the
retail value, before discount, offset or credit, of any and all payments for
Advertising by barter or trade in goods, services or other thing of value, if
any, in lieu of cash, paid or given in exchange for purchased Advertising by a
purchaser ("Noncash Compensation"), less the sum of any applicable sales taxes,
levies, customs and duties. The party receiving such Noncash Compensation shall
contribute, in cash, to each Distribution Revenue payment, the Noncash
Compensation component of such Distribution Revenue payment and shall retain
such Noncash Compensation.
5.4 In no event shall either Revenue or Distribution Revenue, be reduced
by any payment, direct or indirect, to EBT, Agent, or any other party, with
respect to this Agreement, or otherwise, for lease, rental, maintenance, or
operation of the Systems or any Operating System except by specific
4
5
prior written agreement. In no event shall either Revenue or Distribution
Revenue be reduced or increased by the unrealized value of any free Advertising
in the Operating Systems provided to a Customer, a purchaser of Advertising, or
for a public service purpose. Such free Advertising, if any, shall have no
effect in the calculation of either Revenue or Distribution Revenue.
5.5 All agreements between EBT and Advertising Marketers shall require,
in the absence of waiver by both Agent and EBT, annual audit of the books and
records of the respective Advertising Marketers with respect to the Revenues.
Such audit shall be at the sole cost and expense of Agent, EBT and the
respective Advertising Marketers in proportion to the Distribution Revenue
received among them unless such audit shall determine that the Revenues, as
reported by an Advertising Marketer to EBT, are determined by such audit to be
understated by two percent (2%), or more, in which event, the Advertising
Marketer shall bear the entire expense of such audit, and shall remit to EBT
for the account of EBT, Customers, and Agent and distribution among them in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement the amount of Distribution Revenues
which the Advertising Marketer failed to distribute to EBT for their account,
plus interest thereon at an annual rate of eighteen percent (18%), calculated
from the date such disbursement should have occurred through the date such
disbursement is made by the Advertising Marketer, and such unpaid Distribution
Revenue, together with interest thereon, shall be due and payable from, and by,
the Advertising Marketer upon demand by EBT.
6.

6.1 The term of this Agreement ("TERM") shall commence upon execution of
this Agreement by EBT and Agent and shall continue thereafter until the earlier
