License, Technical and Marketing Assistance Agreement in which it
contracted to provide FIL with technical and marketing
information in connection with the setup and operation of the
flocked fabrics enterprise. The document further recited that
Pervel Industries, Inc. (Pervel), had in turn agreed to aid DPC
in supplying the requisite technical assistance and know-how.

for all financial, administrative, sales, and production
