2.3. Termination For Not Achieving Minimum Quantity Purchase.

On-Point may, at its option, cancel this Agreement upon ninety (90) days written

annual purchased quantities need to be achieved in accordance with one of the
following schedules to avoid termination for non-performance:



Schedule A:       Year          Minimum Quantity To Be Purchased
                  ----          --------------------------------
                            
                  1998            300
                  1999            800
                  2000          1,000
                  2001          1,000
                  2002          1,000

Schedule B:       Year          Cumulative Quantities To Be Purchased
                  ----          -------------------------------------
                  1998           300
                  1999          1500
                  2000          2500
                  2001          3500
                  2002          4500


As shown in Schedule B, in the event that Distributor achieves cumulative
purchases in a given year pursuant to Schedule B by the end of the applicable
year, the minimum purchases shown in Schedule A will not apply for that year.
E.g. If purchases in year 1998 total 1,000 Lottery Machines but in year 1999

non-performance since the cumulative amount of 1,500 was achieved.

      period of eighteen (18) months before the termination of the Agreement in
      order to test these Lottery Machines, Distributor will receive a

this Agreement On-Point will have the right to purchase this Distributor
Agreement for Editec. The purchase price to be paid will be based on the
appraised value of the Distributor Agreement as valued by two independent
appraisers nominated, one each, by the parties. In the event that the appraisers
can not agree on an appraised value the two appraisers will nominate a third
appraiser to appraise the value of the Distributor Agreement. The third
appraiser evaluation will be binding on the parties.

9.6 Invalidity and Severability.

Should any provision of this Agreement in whole or in part be or become invalid
or inoperable, then the validity of the remaining provisions of this Agreement
shall not be effected thereby. The same shall apply, if this Agreement should
fail to provide for any relevant matter. In lieu of the invalid or inoperable
provision or in order to provide for an omitted provision, this Agreement shall
be applied in a reasonable manner which, as far as legally permissible, comes as
close as possible to what the parties intended or would have intended according
to, the spirit and purpose of this Agreement, if they had considered the matter
at the time of execution of this Agreement.

9.7 Completeness of Instrument.

This Agreement contains all of the agreements, understandings, representations,
conditions, warranties, or covenants made between the parties hereto. Unless set
forth herein, neither party shall be liable for any representations made, and
