non - exclusive, royalty free, perpetual, transferable right to use, construct,
maintain and provide support for a Radio Location System, and to market, sell,
promote, maintain and provide support; and (ii) a non - exclusive, royalty free,
perpetual, transferable license to use RLS Licensed Software and RLS Licensed
Technical Information, as defined below, to construct, maintain, operate and
provide support for a Radio Location System in the Territory, and Licensee
desires to acquire such right and licenses.

(hardware, software or firmware), knowledge or support relating to the Radio
Location System.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual premises set
forth in this License Agreement, the Parties agree as follows:

1. Definitions.

1.1 "Effective Date" shall mean the date of this Agreement.

1.2 "Radio Location System" shall mean a land-based radio location system that
uses the RLS Licensed Software and RLS Licensed Technical information for

Transmission Sites and diagnoses Radio Location System malfunctions;

(c) Database services software that performs customer validation functions,
tracks or records use of the Radio Location System and performs message
management functions.

(2) RLS Transmission and RLS Receiver Sites Licensed Software. These software
programs perform calculations and act as an interface for signals from RLS
Receiver Sites and RLS Transmission Sites and the RLS Data Transmission Network.

1.5 "RLS Licensed Technical information" shall mean all tangible together with
intangible information that is proprietary to Teletrac and that was provided to
the Licensee and may assist Licensee for the purpose of designing, constructing
and operating and maintaining the RLS in the Territory.

1.6 "RLS Network Control Center" shall mean the master station that serves a RLS
Coverage Area. The RLS Network Control Center consists of a group of networked
or interconnected computers, or both, that constitute the information processing
hub of the Radio Location System.

1.7  "Territory" shall mean the countries described on Exhibit B.

2. Grant of Rights.

2.1 Radio Location System License. As of the Effective Date, and subject to the
terms and conditions of this License Agreement, Teletrac grants to Licensee a
non - exclusive, royalty free, perpetual, transferable right, solely within the
Territory, to construct, use, maintain and provide support for a Radio Location
System, and to market, sell, promote, maintain and provide support for the Radio
Location System, customer equipment and customer services, and to provide
customer maintenance, at every country within the Territory. It is agreed,
Licensee may sublicense any of its rights under this Agreement, provided

Agreement

2.2 RLS Licensed Software and RLS Licensed Technical Information. As of the
Effective Date, and subject to the terms and conditions of this License
Agreement, Teletrac grants to Licensee a non-exclusive, royalty free, perpetual,
transferable license to use RLS Licensed Software and RLS Licensed Technical
Information solely for the purpose of operating, maintaining and providing
support for a Radio Location System in the Territory. It is agreed, Licensee may



sublicense any of its rights under this Agreement, provided however, Licensee
remains sole responsible for any payments due under this Agreement.

3. Reservation of Rights. Except as to those certain countries in which rights
and licenses expressly granted to Licensee under this License Agreement,
Teletrac reserves all proprietary rights, title and interest, including all
ownership and proprietary rights, in and to the Radio Location System, RLS
Licensed Software, RLS Licensed Technical Information and the "Teletrac" trade
name, trademark and service mark, including all designs, inventions, patents,
copyrights, trademarks, service marks, trade secrets, know-how, techniques,
engineering details, enhancements, improvements, addition, upgrades,
modifications, derivative works. Licensee acknowledges that no title to the
"Teletrac" marks, RLS Licensed Software or RLS Licensed Technical Information,
or any part thereof, has been or will be transferred to Licensee.

4. Consideration.

4.1 Fees. In consideration for the grant of rights to Licensee in this License
Agreement, Licensee will perform the obligations set forth in this License
Agreement and will pay to Teletrac the following amounts:

4.1.1 Lump Sum Payment. Licensee shall pay to Teletrac the sum of One Hundred
thousand U.S. Dollars (U.S. $100,000.00) (the "Lump Sum Payment") for each
Customer of Licensee that operates a Radio Location System in each country
within the Territory. For example, the Lump Sum Payment for the same Customer to
operate a network in two different countries would be $200,000 ($100,000 per
country); likewise, the License Fee for 2 separate Customers operating networks
in the same country would be $200,000 ($100,000 per Customer).

4.1.2 The Lump Sum Payment shall be payable by Licensee to Teletrac within
thirty (30) days following the first commercial sale of RLS services by given
Licensee customer. Licensee shall notify Teltrac the name of the country within
the Territory and the name of the customer that has started to provide
commercial RLS services.

4.2 Payments. All payment shall be due and payable in U.S. dollars. Payments
shall be inclusive of any all taxes, including deduction for Israeli withholding
taxes that apply to payments from Licensee to Teletrac. Any Lump Sum Payment not
received by Teletrac as set forth in Section 4.1.2 shall incur an administrative
fee of 10% to compensate Teletrac for administrative costs associated with such
late Lump Sum Payment. Thereafter, all outstanding amounts shall accrue interest
at a rate of 15% per annum. Licensee may pay any payments stated above, through
a subsidiary.

5. Radio System Location Equipment. Licensee acknowledges that Teletrac does not
manufacture or provide any of the equipment that will be needed in order to
construct and operate the Radio Location System in the Territory. The Parties
acknowledge and agree that Licensee is free to purchase any equipment needed for
the RLS operation and any and all other equipment and materials needed in order
to construct and operate the Radio Location System in the Territory from any
individual or entity that manufactures such equipment in accordance with the
technical and other specifications necessary to properly operate the Radio
Location System. Licensee acknowledges and agrees that Teletrac does not provide
any representation or warranty



of any kind, express or implied, including, without limitation, any implied
warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose on any equipment
or materials obtained by License from any third party.

6. Term. This License Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and shall
remain in effect indefinite.

7. No Damages. Except for damages arising out of Licensee's failure to pay any
Lump Sum Payment as they become due, neither Licensee nor Teletrac shall, be
liable to the other for compensation, reimbursement or any damages, either
actual, consequential, incidental, special or punitive, including, but not
limited to, the loss of prospective profits on anticipated sales, or on account
of expenditures, investments, leases or commitments in connection with the
business or goodwill of Teletrac or Licensee or otherwise anticipated under this
License Agreement. In the case of failure of Licensee to pay a Lump Sum Payment,
Teletrac shall be entitled to all reasonable costs and expenses, including but
not limited to attorneys costs, including costs and expenses of obtaining legal
representation in Israel, incurred by Teletrac in collecting any outstanding
Lump Sum Payment.

8. Licensee Indemnity.

Licensee shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Teletrac, and its directors,
officers, employees and agents from and against any and all claims, demands,
liabilities, actions, suits, proceedings or expenses (including reasonable
attorney's fees) asserted by a third party: (a) arising out of or relating to
Licensee's marketing, sale, use, design, construction, manufacture, maintenance,
repair, modification, upgrade, enhancement, improvement or support of the Radio
Location System in the Territory, or any part thereof, and Licensee agrees to
undertake the cost of defending the same, and will pay resulting costs and
damages finally awarded, provided that:

(1) Teletrac promptly notifies Licensee of the claim;

(2) Teletrac cooperates with Licensee in the defense, provided that Licensee
reimburses Teletrac for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including
reasonable outside counsel's legal fees) associated with such cooperation; and

(3) Licensee has sole control of the defense and all related settlement
negotiations, using counsel reasonably satisfactory to Teletrac.

9. NO WARRANTY. TELETRAC MAKES ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED,
WITH RESPECT TO THE RADIO LOCATION SYSTEM OR ANY PART THEREOF, INCLUDING, BUT
NOT LIMITED TO, THE RLS COMPONENTS, RLS LICENSED SOFTWARE AND RLS LICENSED
TECHNICAL INFORMATION. BY WAY OF EXAMPLE, BUT NOT OF LIMITATION, TELETRAC MAKES
NO WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR WARRANTY
THAT THE RADIO LOCATION SYSTEM, OR ANY PART THEREOF, IS ERROR-FREE OR THAT ITS
USE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR THAT THE RADIO LOCATION SYSTEM WILL BE A PROFITABLE
ENTERPRISE FOR LICENSEE. LICENSEE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT HAS MADE AN INDEPENDENT
INVESTIGATION OF THE RADIO LOCATION SYSTEM BUSINESS THAT IT WILL CONDUCT UNDER
THIS



LICENSE AGREEMENT. TELETRAC AND EACH OF ITS AFFILIATES EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM THE
MAKING OF, AND LICENSEE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT HAS NOT RECEIVED OR RELIED UPON,
ANY GUARANTEE OR REPRESENTATION, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AS TO THE FEASIBILITY OF

EMPLOYEE, OR AGENT OF TELETRAC THAT ARE CONTRARY TO THIS SECTION 9.

10. Relationship of the Parties. The relationship of the parties established by
this License Agreement shall be that of independent contractors. Nothing in this
License Agreement shall be construed to create an agency, partnership, joint
venture or employment relationship between Licensee and Teletrac, nor to make
Licensee the agent of Teletrac, or Teletrac the agent of Licensee, for any
purpose. Neither party is granted authority by the other to undertake
commitments, transact business, create or assume any obligation (express or
implied) or otherwise act (or represent that it can act) in the other's name or
on the other's behalf.

11. Force Majeure. If the performance of either Party required by this License
Agreement is prevented, restricted or delayed by fire, other casualty or
accident, war or violence or serious threat of the same, arrest or restraint of
government, requisition of vessel or aircraft, explosion, governmental request,
guidance, order or regulation, or any other circumstance beyond the reasonable
control of the Party and without such Party's fault or negligence, the affected
Party, upon giving due notice to the other Party, shall be excused from such
performance, but only to the extent directly attributable to the circumstance
and the excused party shall not be liable for loss or damage or failure of or
delay in such performance.

12. Governing Law. The governing law of this License Agreement shall be that of
the State of California, U.S.A., as if both parties hereto were resident and
doing business in such state.
