Williams ------------------------------- Bike & Cycle Trak USA, Inc. By: John O. Williams Title: CEO Letter of Intent, Page 2 of 4 TERM SHEET This term sheet summarizes the principal terms with respect to the project, whose stakeholders will be NSC Corporation ("NSC") and Bike & Cycle Trak, Inc ("BCT"). This term sheet is intended solely as a basis for further discussion and is not intended to be and does not constitute a legally binding obligation of the parties. No legally binding obligations on the parties will be created, implied, or inferred until appropriate documents in final form are executed regarding the subject matter of this term sheet and containing all other essential terms of an agreed upon transaction and delivered by all parties. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is the parties' intent that, until that event, no agreement binding on the parties shall exist and there shall be no obligations whatsoever based on such things as parol evidence, extended negotiations, "handshakes," oral understandings, or courses of conduct (including reliance and changes of position). Efforts by either party to complete due diligence, negotiate, obtain financing or prepare a contract shall not be considered as evidence of intent by either party to be bound by this term sheet or otherwise. The performance by either party prior to execution of a formal contract of any of the obligations which may be included in a contract between the parties when negotiations are completed shall not be considered as evidence of intent by either party to be bound by this term sheet. The parties are discussing a transaction on the following terms: GENERAL: This is a joint effort to co-develop an electronic product, but is not a partnership or a joint venture. PURPOSES: The product to be developed is planned to be a GPS enabled tracking device to enhance safety for riders of motorcycles, snow machines, and other power sports equipment. BUSINESS PLAN: The parties would agree prior to the start of the project on a Business Plan for the first two (2) years of operation of the project. OWNERSHIP OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY: The parties would plan to agree prior to the start of the project on an ownership plan for any intellectual property that may result from the project. It is expected that some intellectual property will be owned separately both the parties, and some may be owned jointly. ELECTRONICS BUDGET: The cost project budget is estimated to be $150,000 to produce the electronics and internal software systems for the first prototype, which the parties would like to share in approximately equal basis. NSC intends to perform the majority of this work and incur the majority of this cost directly, although BCT plans to assist directly with some of the sensor design. BCT will plan to make cash contribution of roughly $75,000 towards its share of these costs directly to NSC, in phased payments including an initial payment to be determined at a later time. CASING: BCT plans to design and prototype the enclosure and mounting for this product. MARKETING, SALES, AND DISTRIBUTION: BCT plans to take a leadership role in sale and distribution of the product, especially in the Midwest, as well as in establishing call center support for the product. Letter of Intent, Page 3 of 4 MANUFACTURING: NSC plans to take a leadership role in manufacture of the product. PRODUCT COST AND REVENUE SHARING: The parties intend to sell the product for a profit, and share the resulting revenues and margin from this effort, based roughly on their respective contributions of cost and effort to the development, manufacture, marketing, and sales effort associated with the project, which are today uncertain. STOCK SWAP: Sometime shortly after the completion of the prototype, NSC plans to exchange approximately $30,000 of its SEC 144 Restricted Common Stock for approximately 3% of the outstanding shares of BCT. NSC stock shall be valued at the average closing price of its stock during the 30 calendar day period before this transaciton is consummated. FOLLOW-ON AGREEMENT STRUCTURE: The parties plan to draft a master project agreement ("Master Project Agreement") that will broadly define the binding elements of this project. The parties then plan to draft separate agreements in the areas of joint development ("Joint Development Agreement"), intellectual property ("Intellectual Property Agreement"), product manufacturing ("Product Manufacturing Agreement") and product distribution and marketing ("Distribution and Marketing Agreement"). These agreements are likely not to be executed all at once, but rather executed in approximately the sequence listed in this paragraph, as the project advances through development and into its production and sales phases. NEGOTIATIONS SCHEDULE: The parties hope to complete the Master Project Agreement before the end of February, and the other agreements within 2-3 months of the Master Project Agreement, if not sooner. PROJECT SCHEDULE: This development phase of this project is expected to last approximately six months. The overall development and sales processes is expected to last approximately 2 years, with extensions likely after that point. DUE DILIGENCE: Both parties will promptly begin and diligently pursue an investigation of the legal, business, environmental and financial condition of the proposed project. Each party will extend its full cooperation to the other party and its lawyers, accountants and other representatives in connection with such investigation. Each party, its lawyers, accountants and other representatives shall have full access to the other party's books and records, facilities, accountants and key employees for the purpose of conducting such investigation. The consummation of the transactions contemplated by this letter shall be conditional upon both parties complete satisfaction with such purchase investigation. Letter of Intent, Page 4 of 4
