supplies or material, whether in writing, orally or otherwise. Buyer agrees to
provide Motorola with advertising material containing any Motorola marks for

advertising material in a reasonable time and to not unreasonably withhold

representations or warranties on behalf of Seller, other than as expressly
provided herein.

such right but the obligation of the other party with respect to such future
performance shall continue in full force and effect.
DEFAULT. In the event that either party shall be in breach or default of any of

Agreement, the non-defaulting party, in addition to other rights and remedies it
may have in law or equity, shall have the right to immediately cancel this
Agreement without any charge or liability whatsoever.
