SALES REPRESENTATION AGREEMENT

THIS AGREEMENT is made and entered into effective the 1st day of April, 2000 (the "Effective Date"), between

Autovia, a Delaware corporation (hereinafter called "Autovia"), and

Grant Automotive Group, Inc., a corporation formed under the laws of Canada (hereinafter called "Representative").

The parties agree as follows:

1. Appointment, Territory and Products.
1. Autovia hereby appoints Representative for the term of this Agreement, and Representative hereby agrees to act for Autovia, as Autovia's exclusive representative in Canada (the "Territory") for Autovia's Products (as hereinafter defined), subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Except as expressly allowed by Autovia in writing, Representative agrees not to solicit orders, procure orders or otherwise act as Autovia's representative with respect to any Products or establish or allow any office to do so unless such office is located within the Territory.
2. Products. The products covered by this Agreement ("Products") are Autovia's products and the accompanying services intended for the automotive aftermarket, (described in Exhibit A attached hereto). Autovia reserves the right to change prices or change or modify the design or functionality of or discontinue any of the Products at any time.
2. Compensation, Expenses, and Reports.
1. Commission. In consideration for the covenants of Representative contained herein, Autovia will pay Representative a 10% commission of the Revenues actually collected by Autovia and not subject to refund or other contingency. "Revenues" are amounts payable to Autovia (net of taxes, duties and similar amounts) which are generated by transactions between "Customers" (Canadian distributors who sign up to the Network through Representative) and buyers of auto parts on the Network.
2. Monthly Marketing Fee. Upon the execution of this Agreement and for one year henceforth, Autovia will pay Representative a marketing fee of $6,500 USD per calendar month ("Monthly Marketing Fee") provided that Representative devotes the resources of at least one sufficiently qualified full-time employee to the performance of the obligations set forth herein. Upon completion of the first year of the term of this Agreement, Representative will not be entitled to and Autovia will not continue to pay the Monthly Marketing Fee, but subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Representative shall continue to earn Commissions as set forth in Section 2.a.
3. Recoverable Expenses. Autovia shall reimburse Representative for trade show exhibit fees provided that Representative obtains prior written authorization from Autovia for such fees. Autovia may reimburse Representative for reasonable expenditures made on Autovia's behalf arising out of special circumstances, provided that Representative obtains prior written authorization from Autovia for such expenditures. Representative shall be responsible for expenses incurred in the normal course of business.
4. General Sales Tax. The parties agree that no General Sales Tax ("GST") should properly be due on the services performed for Autovia by Representative because Autovia maintains no presence in Canada. Representative agrees not to take any actions that would cause General Sales Tax to be applicable to the services of Representative, unless Representative is unable to perform its obligations under this Agreement without so acting. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that General Sales Tax ("GST") is or becomes applicable to the commissions paid to Representative, Autovia shall add to the amount of the commission paid an additional seven percent of the commission to cover the GST. Such tax payments are refundable to Autovia upon registration with Revenue Canada, Excise, and completion of a GST return. Representative's GST registration number is R 102-174-364. Manufacturer shall include this number on each commission statement where GST is applicable, if any, in the portion indicating the amount of the GST.
5. Status Reports. Each month, by the fifteenth day of the month, Representative shall submit to Autovia a written report of activity ("Status Report") for the immediately preceding month ("Reported Month"). The Status Report shall include: (i) good faith forecasts and status reports on its efforts and anticipated orders and (ii) statement of reimbursable expenditures made on Autovia's behalf during the Reported Month with accompanying receipts and other applicable documentation. Representative shall also provide informal updates in accordance with Autovia's Sales Policies and Procedures (as set forth in Exhibit B attached hereto). Autovia may reasonably request information concerning potential or actual Customers, business volumes, financial information and operating plans.
6. Commission Statements. Each month, by the last day of the month, Autovia shall submit to Representative a report of activity ("Commission Statement") for the immediately preceding month ("Reported Month"). The Commission Statement shall include the following with respect to the Reported Month: list of all invoices sent to Customers in the Territory, statement of Revenue collected, statement of commissions due to Representative, added GST and (which shall be calculated as set forth above in Section 2.a), and which shall include invoice number, Customer name, total commissions and charge-backs for each order. Commission Statements shall be accompanied by the compensation due Representative, which shall include the Monthly Marketing Fee (only in the first twelve months of the Term), the commissions due on Revenue collected, and any other reimbursement due for Expenses as set forth in Section 2.c. If the parties elect to transfer payment electronically, the report shall include an itemized statement of payment transferred electronically for the Reported Month.
7. Performance Goals. Autovia and Representative hereby express their mutual intention that, under this Agreement, effective the day after the first anniversary of the Effective Date, and thereafter for the term of this Agreement, Autovia shall receive a specified number of orders for the Product ("Representative Orders"), and/or Representative shall generate a specified Revenue level (such numbers and/or levels shall be hereinafter referred to as "Performance Goals"). The Performance Goals shall be consistent, under the circumstances, with Autovia's internal goals for its direct sales force. The parties shall negotiate reasonably and in good faith to execute documents reflecting the Performance Goals before the first anniversary of the Effective Date. If the parties have not executed such documents by 90 days after the first anniversary of the Effective Date, Autovia may terminate this Agreement upon thirty (30) days' written notice, and neither party shall have any further rights or obligations to the other, except that Sections 7, 8, 9, and 10 shall be fully enforceable and shall survive termination of this Agreement.
3. Warranty Disclaimer. AUTOVIA MAKES NO WARRANTIES TO REPRESENTATIVE WITH RESPECT TO THE PRODUCTS OR ANY SERVICES AND DISCLAIMS ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, NONINFRINGEMENT AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

The parties hereto expressly understand and agree that Representative is an independent contractor in the performance of each and every part of this Agreement and is solely responsible for all of its employees and agents and its labor costs and expenses arising in connection therewith and for any and all claims, liabilities or damages or debts of any type whatsoever that may arise on account of Representative's activities, or those of its employees or agents in the performance of this Agreement. Representative has no authority, right or ability to bind or commit Autovia in any way (including, without limitation, by accepting orders) or sell any Products and will not attempt to do so or imply that it may do so. Autovia is in no manner associated with or otherwise connected with the actual performance of this Agreement on the part of Representative, nor with Representative's employment of other persons or incurring of other expenses. Except as expressly provided herein, Autovia shall have no right to exercise any control whatsoever over the activities or operations of Representative.

In its efforts, Representative will use Autovia's then current names for the Products (but will not represent or imply that it is Autovia or is a part of Autovia and will obtain Autovia's prior approval of any such use) and will not add to, delete from or modify any sales or marketing documentation or forms provided by Autovia except with the prior written consent of Autovia. Representative will not otherwise use or register (or make any filing with respect to) any trademark, name or other designation relevant to the subject matter of this Agreement anywhere in the world.

Representative further agrees that Autovia shall have and is hereby assigned any and all right, title and interest in and to any such suggested modifications, design changes or improvements of the Products, without the payment of any additional consideration therefore either to Representative, its employees or agents, or to any Customer of Representative.
4. Representative understands that Autovia is not bound to any price (whether or not on the then-current pricing documentation) with respect to an order until it has accepted such order and Representative will not imply or represent anything to the contrary to any person or entity; in any event Autovia will not be liable to Representative for and Representative will have no rights with respect to any price change (whether before or after acceptance of an order) or any other matter with respect to the dealings between Autovia and Customers of Representative.

6. Representative warrants and represents to Autovia that neither this Agreement (or any term hereof) nor the performance of or exercise of rights under this Agreement, is contrary to, in conflict with, ineffective under, requires registration or approval or tax withholding under, or affects Autovia's proprietary rights under, any law or regulation of any organization, country, group of countries or political or governmental entity located within or including all or a portion of the Territory. Representative will take no action inconsistent with the foregoing warranty and will indemnify Autovia from any and all losses, damages, claims, settlements, attorneys fees and other expenses incurred by Autovia which arise due to any allegation or action of any person or entity inconsistent with the foregoing warranty. The failure by Representative to comply with any of its obligations as set forth in this Section 4 shall constitute a breach of this Agreement and shall entitle Autovia to give notice to Representative requiring it to cure such breach.
