dispute prior to pursuing other available remedies. If, within thirty days
after such a meeting, the parties have not succeeded in negotiating a resolution
of the dispute, either party may request that such dispute be resolved through
final and binding arbitration. Such arbitration will be conducted by three (3)
arbitrators familiar with the wireless telecommunications industry and will be

Conciliation and Arbitration of the American Arbitration Association. Such

attorneys fees, in addition to any other award ordered by the arbitrators. The
prevailing party in any judicial enforcement or review proceeding shall also be
entitled to reasonable attorneys' fees and costs, in addition to any other award
ordered by the court. If judicial enforcement is sought by either party,

12.2 The Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties and
supersedes all previous agreements and understandings relating to the subject
hereof. The Agreement may not be altered, amended or modified, except by a
written instrument signed by the duly authorized representatives of both
parties.
12.3 The Agreement may not be assigned to any third party, in whole or in
part, by either party without the prior written consent of the other party. An
assignment to Affiliate of either party will not be deemed a third party and
will not require prior written consent from the other party.
12.4 Failure or successive failures on the part of either party, its
successors and assigns, to enforce any covenant or agreement herein, or any
waiver or successive waivers on its or their part of any covenant or condition
of the Agreement will not operate as a discharge of such covenant, agreement or
condition, render the same invalid or impair the right of either party, its
successors or assigns, to enforce the same.
12.5 Headings included in the Agreement are for convenience only and are
not to be used to interpret the Agreement between the parties.
12.6 Any news release, including photographs, films, advertisements,

the activities of the other party or on any part of the subject matter of the
Agreement will be subject to the prior written approval of the other party. The
parties further agree that news releases made by either party will recognize the
participation and contributions of the other party. The nature of this
relationship will remain confidential to both parties.
12.7 No failure or omission on the part of either party to carry out or
observe any of the terms or provisions of the Agreement will be deemed a breach
of the Agreement, if same will arise or result from force majeure or from any
cause reasonably beyond the control of PacTel or ESL. Should such delay occur,
the date or dates of performance by the affected party will be extended for a
period equal to the number of days during which performance is so delayed. The
affected party will give the other party written notice of such delay within
fifteen (15) working days after identification of the delay.
12.8 Notwithstanding anything in the Agreement to the contrary, PacTel has
no obligation under the Agreement to perform any act whatsoever which would

Electric Co., 552 P. Supp. 131 (D.D.C. 1982) (the "MFJ"). Following written
------------
notice to ESL, PacTel may discontinue performance of any activity required
herein or terminate the Agreement immediately, if in PacTel's sole opinion, such
discontinuation or termination is necessary in order to comply with the MFJ. In
the event that PacTel has determined that only certain activities, but not the
entire Agreement, must be discontinued, ESL will have the option to continue or
terminate the Agreement. In the event that ESL elects to continue the
Agreement, the parties will mutually agree upon royalty or payment terms which
will reasonably compensate ESL for PacTel's inability to perform certain of
PacTel's obligations hereunder.
12.9 Nothing in the Agreement will be construed to constitute ESL as the
partner or agent of PacTel, nor will either party have any authority to bind the
other. Each party will remain an independent contractor responsible only for
its own actions.
12.10 This Agreement has been entered into, will be governed by and
construed in accordance with the substantive laws of the State of California
applicable to agreements made and to be performed wholly within such
jurisdiction.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused the Agreement to be
executed by their duly authorized
representatives as of the Effective Date.
