repair  work  for  a  consumer  under  the  provisions  of  a
manufacturer's express warranty shall be  reimbursed  by  the

supplier or dealer where a written dealer agreement  provides
for  compensation to a dealer for warranty labor costs either
as part of the pricing of the equipment to the dealer  or  in
the  form  of a lump sum payment, provided the payment is not
