14.  Compliance with Laws

     (a)   Company represents and warrants that the Products supplied hereunder
           are produced and delivered in accordance with all applicable laws,
           rules and regulations, including but not limited to those laws, rules
           and regulations governing product safety.

     (b)   Company agrees that it will take all actions required by law in order
           to ensure that all employees are authorized to work in the United
           States of America in accordance with the Immigration Reform and
           Control Act of 1986, as amended.

                                       7

 
     (c)  Executive Order #11246, as amended relative to Equal Employment
          Opportunity and all other applicable laws, rules and regulations
          including Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, are incorporated
          herein. In addition all laws, rules and regulations applicable to the
          hiring of disabled veterans of the Vietnam Era and to the hiring of
          individuals with physical or mental handicaps are incorporated herein
          by this specific reference.

15.  Force Majeure

     Neither party shall be liable for delays in delivery or performance when
     caused by any of the following which are beyond the actual control of the
     delayed party: (i) acts of God, (ii) acts of the public enemy, (iii) acts
     or failure to act by the other party, (iv) acts of civil or military
     authority, (v) governmental priorities, strikes or other labor
     disturbances, (vi) hurricanes, (vii) earthquakes, (viii) fires, (ix)
     floods, (x) epidemics, (xi) embargoes, (xii) war, and (xiii) riots. In the
     event of any such delay, the date of delivery or performance shall be
     extended for a period equal to the effect of time lost by reason of the
     delay.

16.  Amendment or Waiver

     No provision of this Agreement shall be deemed waived, amended, or modified
     by either party unless such waiver, amendment or modification is in writing
     and signed by the party against whom it is sought to be enforced.

17.  Severability

     In the event any one or more of the provisions of this Agreement is held to
     be unenforceable under applicable law, (i) such unenforceability shall not
     affect any other provision of this Agreement; (ii) this Agreement shall be
     construed as if said unenforceable provision had not been contained herein;
     and (iii) the parties shall negotiate in good faith to replace the
     unenforceable provision by such as has the effect nearest to that of the
     provision being replaced.

18.  Governing Law and Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR)

     (a)  The validity, performance, and all matters relating to the effect of
          this Agreement and any amendment hereto shall be governed by the laws
          of the State of Illinois.

     (b)  Motorola and Company agree to attempt to settle any claim or
          controversy arising out of this Agreement through consultation and
          negotiation in good faith and spirit of mutual cooperation. Any
          dispute between the parties relating to this Agreement will first be
          submitted in writing to a panel of two senior executives of Company
          and Motorola, who will promptly meet and confer in an effort to
          resolve such dispute. Each party's executive will be identified by
          notice to the other party, and may be changed at any time thereafter
          by notice to the other. Any agreed decisions of the executives will be
          final and binding on the parties. In the event the executives are
          unable to resolve any dispute within thirty days after submission to
          them, either party may then refer such dispute to mediation in
          accordance with Subsection 20(c). In no event will any ADR procedures
          be used to resolve any dispute related to patent validity or
          infringement.

     (c)  If those attempts fail, then the dispute will be mediated by a
          mutually acceptable mediator to be chosen by Motorola and Company
          within forty-five (45) days after written notice by either party
          demanding mediation. Such mediation shall be conducted in the State of
          Illinois. Neither party may unreasonably withhold consent to the
          selection of a mediator, and Motorola and Company will share the costs
          of the mediator equally. Each party shall pay its own attorneys' fees.
          By mutual agreement, however, Motorola and Company may postpone
          mediation until each has completed some specified but limited
          discovery regarding the dispute. The parties may also agree to replace
          mediation with some other form of ADR, such as neutral fact-finding or
          a mini-trial.

                                       8

 
     (d)  Any dispute which cannot be resolved between the parties through
          negotiation, mediation or other form of ADR within six months of the
          date of the initial demand for ADR by one of the parties will then be
          submitted to a court of competent jurisdiction. The use of any ADR
          procedures will not be construed under the doctrines of laches, waiver
          or estoppel to affect adversely the rights of either party. Nothing in
          this Section will prevent either party from resorting to judicial
          proceedings if (a) good faith efforts to resolve the dispute under
          these procedures have been unsuccessful, or (b) interim relief from a
          court is necessary to prevent serious and irreparable injury to that
          party or to others.

     (e)  Performance by the parties under this Agreement shall not be suspended
          during the pendency of any dispute unless the parties otherwise agree.


19.  Assignment

     Neither this Agreement nor any right hereunder may be transferred, assigned
     or delegated by Company without the prior written consent of Motorola. Any
     attempted assignment, delegation or transfer shall be void.

20.  Publicity

     Neither party shall issue a press release or make any similar public
     announcement regarding the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
     without the other party's prior written consent to the specific language
     and intended distribution of such press release or announcement.

21.  Waiver

     Failure or delay on the part of Motorola to exercise any right, power or
     privilege hereunder shall not operate as a waiver thereof.

22.  Authority

     Each party hereto represents and warrants that (i) it has obtained all
     necessary approvals, consents and authorizations of third parties and
     governmental authorities to enter into this Agreement and to perform and
     carry out its obligations hereunder, (ii) the persons executing this
     Agreement on its behalf have express authority to do so, and, in so doing,
     to bind the party thereto; (iii) the execution, delivery, and performance
     of this Agreement does not violate any provision of any bylaw, charter,
     regulation, or any other governing authority of the party; and (iv) the
     execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement has been duly
     authorized by all necessary partnership or corporate action and this
     Agreement is a valid and binding obligation of such party, enforceable in
     accordance with its terms.

23.  Survival of Provisions

     The parties agree that where the context of any provision indicates an
     intent that it shall survive the term or termination of this Agreement,
     then it shall so survive.

24.  Entire Agreement

     This Agreement and Exhibits hereto constitute the entire understanding
     between the parties concerning the subject matter hereof and supersede all
     prior discussions, agreements and representations, whether oral or written
     and whether or not executed by Motorola and Company, including any terms
     and conditions contained on any purchase orders or other documents which
     Motorola may use when purchasing the Software or any other Company products
     or services. No

                                       9

 
     modification, amendment or other changes may be made to this Agreement or
     any part thereof unless reduced to writing and executed by authorized
     representatives of both parties.


IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have caused this Agreement to be executed as of
February ____, 2000 ("Agreement Date").
