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.
WAIVER. The failure of either party to insist in any one or more instances, upon

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

modifications of this Agreement shall be binding upon either Buyer or Seller
unless made in writing and signed by an authorized representative of each. If
