Distributor without any further liability, including without limitation
for the failure of Exclusive Master Services Distributor to satisfy
Motorola's distribution qualification requirements for distribution of

6. PAYMENT AND DELIVERY
a. Unless otherwise approved in writing by Motorola, Exclusive Master
Services Distributor must pay for Products at any of the Motorola's
bank accounts listed below, in U.S. currency by wire transfer within
the thirty (30) days following the date of the invoice. The following
is Motorola's banks information:

Products, cancel any previously accepted purchase order for Products,
or delay any further shipment of Products to Exclusive Master Services
Distributor, without incurring any liability for loss or damage of any
kind occasioned by reason of any such cancellation or delay.
Furthermore, such failure to pay may be deemed, at Motorola's option, a
justified cause for termination of this Agreement.
d. It is Exclusive Master Services Distributor's sole responsibility to
obtain credit from Motorola for all orders placed with Motorola. Should
credit not be sufficient to cover purchases, Motorola at its sole
discretion may require cash with order from Exclusive Master Services
Distributor. However, if Exclusive Master Services Distributor fails to
obtain credit due to Motorola reducing its current credit limit or in
agreement with Motorola uses this total credit for other Motorola
products, Motorola may seek any alternate methods of distribution,
including but not limited to contracting with one or more alternate
distributor(s). If Motorola uses such alternate methods of distribution
that would otherwise fall under the exclusive portion of Exclusive
Master Services Distributor's appointment as set forth in Section 1
above, the Minimum Purchase Amounts outlined in Attachment 4 shall be
reduced by the amount of such alternate sale

written above or such other location as is expressly authorized in
writing by Motorola.
b. Exclusive Master Services Distributor may not transship, sell or
otherwise transfer Products purchased hereunder outside without
Motorola's prior written consent. Such written consent shall be deemed
given for the United States for as long as Exclusive Master Services
Distributor has a valid Product distribution agreement with Motorola
covering the United States territory. Exclusive Master Services
Distributor shall incorporate this limitation into all of its
agreements for the resale of Products purchased hereunder and Exclusive
Master Services Distributor shall enforce this restriction.
c. Sales within the Territory without transshipment is a material
condition to Exclusive Master Services Distributor's rights under this
Agreement, and it is agreed that any direct or indirect transfer,
transshipment and/or sale of Products outside the Territory by
Exclusive Master Services Distributor or others purchasing through
Exclusive Master Services Distributor shall be a material breach of
this Agreement and will result in substantial damage to Motorola which
will be difficult to quantify. Accordingly, the parties agree that for
every Motorola Product traceable to purchases by Exclusive Master
Services Distributor from Motorola hereunder that is resold outside the
Territory,
