      5.    AquaCell's Warranty.  AquaCell makes no  warranty  or
representation with respect to any of the products, except those,
if  any,  made  under  its standard warranty.   A  copy  of  such
warranty is annexed hereto as Exhibit "C", and made a part hereof
as  though  set  forth at length herein.  AquaCell  reserves  the
right  to amend such warranty from time to time, and Dealer shall
not  in any manner make any representations intended to alter  or
amend  said warranty.  The rights and obligations of each of  the
parties with respect to said warranty are as follows:

           (a)   Pursuant to written instructions from  AquaCell,
Dealer  shall deliver a copy of the applicable warranty to  every
purchaser of the products from Dealer.

           (b)   AquaCell will furnish Dealer with a  replacement
and Dealer shall then replace any of the products which shall  be
defective  in material or workmanship.  If any customer  makes  a
claim  under a warranty other than the latest applicable warranty
with  respect to which AquaCell has notified Dealer, Dealer shall
promptly  refer  such claim to AquaCell before taking  any  other
action with regard thereto.

      6.    Term.  This Agreement shall remain  in effect  for  a
period of five (5) years from the date hereof, and  thereafter it
shall be extended automatically on  a year-to-year  basis subject
to the termination rights set forth below:

           (a)   Either  party  may  cancel  and  terminate  this
Agreement at the end of the initial five (5) year term or at  the
end of  any  renewal  term by giving at least  ninety  (90) days'
written notice thereof prior  to  the  termination  date  of  the
Agreement.

      7.   Noncompetition; Confidential Information.  For so long
as  this  Agreement shall remain in effect and for a  period  one
year thereafter:

           (a)   Dealer  shall  not, directly or  indirectly,  be
involved   as   owner,  partner,  shareholder,  joint   venturer,
director, employee, or otherwise, in the conduct of any  business
that competes with AquaCell in the territory.

           (b)   Dealer  shall not solicit business from  any  of
AquaCell's  customers, except on behalf and for  the  benefit  of
AquaCell nor shall Dealer solicit any of Aquacell's employees  or

Dealer or by any party in which Dealer is an owner or employee.

           (c)   Dealer acknowledges that certain information  of
AquaCell, such as AquaCell's sales manuals, price lists, customer
lists  and  similar materials, are AquaCell's trade  secrets  and
shall  be  and  remain AquaCell's sole and exclusive confidential
property.   Dealer  shall not disclose any  such  information  to
others.   Dealer  shall not use such confidential information  in
any  way  except  in  furtherance of its services  on  AquaCell's
behalf.

           (d)   Dealer  acknowledges that in the  event  of  its
breach,  or  threatened  breach, of  any  of  the  provisions  of
Paragraphs  7(a), (b) and (c) hereof, AquaCell's  remedy  at  law
would  be  inadequate,  and that the damages  flowing  from  such
breach  would  not  be readily susceptible of being  measured  in
monetary   terms.   Accordingly,  upon  Dealer's   violation   or
threatened violation of any of the foregoing provisions, AquaCell
shall be entitled to immediate injunctive relief and may obtain a
temporary order restraining any threatened or further breach.

     8.   Assignment.  This Agreement is not assignable by either
party without the prior written consent of the other.

     9.    Dealer  Status.  Nothing in this  Agreement  shall  be
construed in such a manner as to constitute Dealer the  agent  or
legal  representative  of  AquaCell for any  purpose  whatsoever.
Dealer  shall  have no authority whatsoever, whether  express  or
implied,  to assume, create or incur any obligation or  liability
whatsoever  on  behalf  or in the name of AquaCell,  or  to  bind
AquaCell in any manner whatsoever.  AquaCell shall not be  liable
for  any  damages,  loss, cost, or expense whatsoever,  including
incidental  or  consequential damages, resulting from  any  sale,
service, repair or replacement performed by Dealer, except to the
extent  expressly  provided  herein with  respect  to  AquaCell's
warranty.

      10.   Shares to be Acquired.  Corbett will sell to AquaCell
fifteen percent (15%) of its issued and outstanding common  stock
in exchange for AquaCell stock as follows:

           (a)   That  number of shares of AquaCell common  stock
equal  to  $1,500,000  calculated by taking the  average  closing
price  of  AquaCell  common stock on the five (5)  business  days
immediately  preceding the execution of the Letter of  Intent  as
the denominator and $1,500,000 as the numerator.

     11.  Warrants.  Upon closing, AquaCell will issue to Corbett
300,000  common stock purchase warrants exercisable over  a  five
(5) year period as follows:


         (a) 100,000 warrants exercisable @ $5.00 per share;

         (b) 100,000 warrants exercisable @ $6.00 per share; and

         (c) 100,000 warrants exercisable @ $7.00 per share.

contain demand registration rights after one (1) year and  piggy-
back  registration rights subject to underwriter's  approval  and
may be redeemed by AquaCell upon certain conditions.

      12.   Initial  Order.  Upon execution  of  this  Agreement,
Corbett  shall  place an initial order with Global Water-Aquacell
in  the amount of $250,000.  Payment terms for this initial order
shall  be  agreed by AquaCell and Dealer, based on  a  reasonable
manufacturing and  shipping schedule, irrespective  of  paragraph
4(b)  of this Agreement.

all  prior agreements between AquaCell and Dealer with regard  to
the   matters  herein  contained,  and  constitutes  the   entire
Agreement between the parties hereto with regard to such matters.
Neither  this  Agreement  nor any of  the  provisions,  terms  or
conditions  hereof may be waived, altered, abridged, modified  or
amended, except in writing, and signed by the party against  whom
