12.  TERMINATION ASSISTANCE

     (a)  Transfer Obligations. Immediately upon written notice of termination,
          --------------------
expiration or cancellation of this Agreement for any reason, VENDOR shall use
its commercially reasonable efforts to transfer the Services and otherwise
cooperate fully with MCG to transfer such Services, from VENDOR's facilities to
MCG or to any third party maintenance or servicing provider designated by MCG in
a manner that (i) minimizes the time to complete such transfer, (ii) maintains
the highest quality of Services provided, and (iii) minimizes any disruption to
customer requirements. Such cooperation shall include, without limitation, the
following:

          (i)  At MCG's election, MCG may require VENDOR to continue to perform
     all or any portion of the Services for a period not to exceed twelve (12)
     months (the "Transfer Period") as part of the transfer of MCG's service and
     maintenance operations out of VENDOR's facilities; provided, that in the
                                                        --------
     event that the automatic renewal of the term of this Agreement does not
     occur as provided in Section 3(b), VENDOR shall provide the termination
     assistance under this Section 12 during the remaining term of this
     Agreement.

                                      -12-
<PAGE>

          (ii)  VENDOR shall make available, at the request of MCG, all
     appropriate employees as consultants during the Transfer Period to assist
     MCG in transferring the Services from VENDOR to MCG or such third party.
     VENDOR shall make available the highest skilled support personnel who have
     performed the Services to train personnel of MCG or such third party.

          (iii) VENDOR shall immediately make available to MCG a machine-
     readable copy of all Customer Data which is in a machine-readable form and
     which is then in VENDOR's possession or being stored by or on behalf of
     VENDOR, together with all other copies of any Customer Data that may exist
     in any form.

          (iv)  VENDOR shall immediately upon MCG's request begin delivering to
     MCG or such third party all Technical Documentation, and Loaned Equipment
     then in VENDOR's possession or being stored by or on behalf of VENDOR, such
     transfer to be made at such time, and with respect to Parts at such times
     and in such quantities, to permit the orderly transfer of Services to MCG
     or such third party while providing VENDOR with all such items for the time
     and to the extent necessary for VENDOR to continue to perform the Services
     to the extent that MCG has required VENDOR to so perform as provided in
     Section 12(a)(i). Preparation and movement of the above mentioned property
     to VENDOR's shipping docks shall be at VENDOR's expense; however, expenses
     related to picking up said property from VENDOR's shipping docks and
     charges related to shipment of the property to MCG-designated destinations
     outside of VENDOR's facilities shall be borne by MCG.

          Upon delivery of said property to VENDOR's shipping docks or MCG-
     designated destinations outside of VENDOR's facilities, MCG assumes all
     risk of loss, theft, damage or casualty to said property including, without
     limitation, any such loss, theft, damage or casualty occurring during any
     subsequent transfer of such Loaned Equipment to other locations and shall
     indemnify and hold VENDOR harmless from and against any such loss, theft,
     damage or casualty.

          (v)   VENDOR shall exercise its commercially reasonable efforts to
     cooperate and assist MCG in obtaining the use of any non-proprietary,
     commercially available software that VENDOR itself used in connection with
     the Technical Documentation while it was performing under this Agreement.

     (b)  Compensation and Reimbursement. VENDOR shall be reimbursed for its
          ------------------------------
Transfer Obligations under its normal schedule of fees, except that the
provision of all consultants as set forth in above Section 12(a)(ii) shall be
reimbursed at VENDOR's "direct cost" if the termination is due to the exercise
by MCG of its termination rights based upon Section 11(a), above. Such "direct
cost" shall consist of VENDOR's direct cost for each employee's salary, the
employee's standard personnel benefits program, and the employee's standard
incentive package; said incentive package, if any, not to exceed 20% of gross
salary.

     (c)  VENDOR and MCG agree that being able to provide and maintain the
service and support as set forth in this Agreement is critical to MCG's goodwill
with its customers. The parties acknowledge that unless VENDOR performs its
obligations under Section 12, MCG will

                                      -13-
<PAGE>

suffer irreparable injury and VENDOR therefore agrees that MCG should be
entitled to specific performance from VENDOR as to such obligations as defined
in a Statement of Work if so determined.

     (d)  The Transfer Obligations. If the termination of this Agreement is due
          ------------------------
to the exercise by VENDOR of its termination rights based upon (1) the
nonpayment by MCG of invoices for services when due or (2) MCG's refusal to pay
VENDOR for VENDOR's performance of its obligations as required under this
Agreement, and MCG is not in material breach of this Agreement such that the
breach would render VENDOR incapable of performing its obligations, then VENDOR
may as a precondition to performing such Transfer Obligations require MCG to pay
the amounts allegedly owed to VENDOR into an interest-bearing escrow account
pending resolution of the dispute. Upon resolution, such amounts which are
placed in escrow shall be distributed in accordance with the terms of settlement
between the parties or court decision.

contractor of Motorola.

the VENDOR name and logotype, (2) that VENDOR is the owner of certain trademarks

company name nor (to the extent it may have any power to prevent such use) allow
such marks or names to be used by others. At the expiration or termination of
this Agreement, MCG shall immediately discontinue any and all use of the VENDOR
name and any other name (or combination of words, designs, trademarks or trade
names) that would indicate that MCG is providing services to customers through
VENDOR.

Statement of Work to continued operation in the event of certain catastrophic
events. VENDOR shall use its commercially reasonable efforts at its own cost to
regenerate MCG's Customer Data and to bring back on-line in the event of such a

     (g)  Choice of Law and Dispute Resolution. This Agreement shall be governed
          ------------------------------------
and interpreted by the laws of the State of Arizona (excluding its conflict of
laws principles and

                                     -18-
<PAGE>

excluding that law known as the United Nations Convention for the International
Sale of Goods). The parties agree to attempt to settle any claim or controversy
arising out of this Agreement through consultation and negotiation in the spirit
of mutual friendship and cooperation. If such attempts fail, the dispute shall
first be submitted to a mutually-acceptable neutral advisor for non-binding
mediation, fact-finding or other form of non-binding alternative dispute
resolution (ADR) selected by the parties. Neither party may unreasonably
withhold acceptance of such an advisor, and his or her selection must be made
within 45 days after written notice by the party demanding the use of ADR. The
cost of such mediation or other ADR procedure shall be shared equally by the
parties. Any dispute which cannot be resolved between the parties within six
months of the date of the initial demand shall be finally determined by the
courts within Arizona. The use of an ADR procedure under this subsection shall
not be construed (under such doctrines as laches, waiver or estoppel) to have
affected adversely either party's ability to pursue its legal remedies. And
nothing in this subsection shall prevent either party from resorting to judicial
proceedings if (1) good faith efforts to resolve a dispute under these
procedures have been unsuccessful or (2) interim resort to a court is necessary
to prevent serious and irreparable injury to either party or to others. In such
proceedings, the prevailing party shall be entitled to reasonable attorney's
fees and costs.

     (h)  Headings. The headings of this Agreement are for convenience only and
          --------
are in no way intended to affect the meaning or interpretation of any provision
of this Agreement.

     (i)  Waivers, Amendments and Modifications. No provisions of this Agreement
          -------------------------------------
or any Schedule or Exhibit attached hereto shall be deemed waived, amended or
modified by either party unless such waiver, amendment or modification is in
writing and signed by both parties hereto.

     (j)  Hazardous Substances and Materials. MCG does not require in any way
          ----------------------------------
that VENDOR use any "hazardous substances" as defined in 29 CFR 1910.1200.
VENDOR shall indemnify and hold MCG harmless for any such use on its own.

     (k)  Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by both MCG and VENDOR
          ------------
with original signatures on one or more documents. Duplicate original documents
or copies of this document shall be deemed to have the same force and effect as
a signed original document. VENDOR agrees that it will take all actions required
by law in order to ensure that all workers assigned to perform services under
this Agreement are authorized to engage in such employment in accordance with
the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986. VENDOR further agrees that, upon
request by MCG, it shall provide MCG with a copy of the Form I-9 completed for
any of its employees assigned to perform services.

                           MOTOROLA CODE OF CONDUCT

                         (AS AMENDED AUGUST 27, 1993)

POLICY
------

     Since its inception, the keystone of Motorola's business success has been
integrity with respect to its dealing with customers, suppliers and governments.
The highest order of ethical conduct has and continues to be the very foundation
of our enterprise. These qualities have been instilled and transmitted
throughout the Company.

     The following statement of business philosophy and objectives applies to
all components of our Company. It is intended to be read and applied as part of
and supplementary to our already widely disseminated statements on the subject
of business ethics and standards of conduct set forth in our For Which We Stand
document.

     This Code of Conduct provides firm, uncompromising standards for each of us
in our dealings with agents, customers, suppliers, political entities and
others. The Code reemphasizes and provides further guidance regarding policies
which have been an integral part of Motorola's business philosophy from the
beginning.

     Adherence to this Code is the responsibility of each employee of Motorola
and a condition of continued employment. It will be administered uniformly
throughout the company and independent of the practices of other companies.
Adherence to the Code will continue to be the subject of management attention,
periodic audits of our Internal Audit Department and review by the Business
Ethics Compliance Committee.

     The terms "Motorola" and "Company" as used in this Code of Conduct include
Motorola, Inc. and all of its affiliated companies.

A.   IMPROPER USE OF COMPANY FUNDS AND ASSETS
     ----------------------------------------

     Section 1.  The funds and assets of Motorola shall not be used, directly or
indirectly, for illegal payments of any kind.

Example: The payment of a bribe to a public official or the kickback of funds to
-------
an employee of a customer would be in direct violation of this section of the
Code.

                              Exhibit B - Page 1
<PAGE>

     Section 2.  The funds and assets of Motorola shall not be used, directly or
indirectly, for payments, gifts or gratuities of any kind, whether legal or
illegal, which directly or indirectly inure to the personal benefit of any agent
or employee of any entity with which Motorola does business, with the following
exception:

     (a)  Unless prohibited by the policy of the Customer, Motorola may give as
social amenities to customer and employees of non-government customers normal
sales promotional items bearing the Company's name or items of insignificant
value such as flowers and candy.

     Under no circumstances may the payment of a gratuity or fee (or gift of any
kind) be made to a government employee whether in recognition of efficient
service or otherwise.

     Section 3.  The funds and assets of Motorola shall not be used, directly or
indirectly, for political contributions, whether legal or illegal. The term
"political contributions" is used in its broadest sense and includes local,
state or national fund-raising dinners, banquets, raffles or any funds or gifts
(including the free or discounted use of property or services) which could be
routed, directly or indirectly, to a political candidate, party, committee or
organization.

     Example: The foregoing prohibition of political contributions would be
     -------
violated if a manager directed any employees to work for a political candidate
or party or used company funds to reimburse employees for political
contributions made with their private funds.

     This section is not intended to limit or otherwise restrict: (1) the
personal political activities of Motorola employees, or (2) the right of
Motorola employees to make personal contributions to any Motorola political
action committee.

     Section 4.  Motorola shall not enter into any agreements with dealers,
distributors, agents or consultants:

          (a)  which are not in compliance with the applicable laws of the
United States and with the laws of any other country that may be involved; or

          (b)  which provide for a commission rate or fee that is not reasonable
and commensurate with the functions or services to be rendered.

     Example: It would be a violation of this section of the Code to provide a
     -------
sales agent with a commission on sales of Motorola products which the Motorola
employee knows is intended to be used in part as a kickback to employees of the
customer. (See the relevant Corporate Financial Practice for further guidance
regarding these matters.)

     Section 5.  The funds and assets of Motorola must be properly and
accurately recorded on the books and records of the Company in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles and practices and no false or
artificial entries shall be made in the books, records or accounts of the
Company. No payment made on behalf of Motorola shall be approved or made with
the intention or understanding that any part of such payment is to be used for
any purpose other than that described by the documents supporting the payment.

                              Exhibit B - Page 2
<PAGE>

     Example:  It would be a violation of this section of the Code of Conduct to
     -------
purposefully issue an invoice or other document which inaccurately reflects a
transaction.

B.   CUSTOMER/SUPPLIER/GOVERNMENT RELATIONSHIPS
     ------------------------------------------

     Section 1.  Information disclosed by a customer to a Motorola employee and
clearly identified verbally or in writing as sensitive, private or confidential
shall be protected from disclosure to unauthorized persons inside and outside
the Company to the same extent as Motorola sensitive, private or confidential
information is protected, except where such information was already known to
Motorola, is available from other sources, or is generally known outside the
Motorola or customer organizations.

     Example (a):  A customer makes Motorola aware of a confidential project for
     -----------
which he is contemplating use of Motorola products. He asks Motorola to hold the
discussion in confidence. His request will be honored. The information will not
be disclosed within the Company to persons without a reasonable need to know in
order to serve the best interests of that customer. Nor will the information be
disclosed to any persons outside the Company except where required to comply
with a law or regulation.

     Example (b):  Motorola's price and delivery quotation to a customer will
     -----------
not be disclosed to Motorolans without a need to know and never outside the
Company unless the information has been released by the customer or supplier or
is required to be released by law or regulation.

     Section 2.  Employees of Motorola will respect the laws, customs and
traditions of each country in which they operate, but will, at the same time,
engage in no act or course of conduct which, even if legal, customary and
accepted in any such country, could be deemed to be in violation of the accepted
business ethics of Motorola or the laws of the United States relating to
business ethics.

     Section 3.  Employees of Motorola shall not accept payments or gifts (other
than advertising novelties or other items of nominal value), including any
favors which might be regarded as placing the employee under some obligation to
a third party dealing or desiring to deal with Motorola, provided, however, in
rare circumstances, where the refusal to accept a gift (other than gifts of
nominal value referred to above) may be impossible without injuring the
legitimate business interests of Motorola, such gifts may be accepted so long as
the gift inures to the benefit of Motorola and will not inure to the benefit of
the Motorola employee.

     Example (a):  Included within the scope of this prohibition is the
     -----------
acceptance by Motorolans of presents from suppliers at Christmas as well as the
acceptance by Motorolans of money, property or services (e.g., free trips) from
business associates.

     Example (b):  A Motorolan traveling on Motorola business may accept the
     -----------
courtesy of free lodging in a Customer facility so long as properly noted on
Motorolan's travel expense records.

     Example (c):  Suppliers win Motorola business on the basis of product or
     -----------
service suitability, price, delivery and quality. There is no other basis.
                                                  -----------------------
Attempts to influence procurement decisions by offers of any compensation,
commission, kickback, paid vacation, special discount on

                              Exhibit B - Page 3
<PAGE>

a product or service, entertainment or any form of gift or gratuity must be
firmly rejected by all Motorolans.

     Section 4.  Motorola may, unless otherwise prohibited, pay the
transportation and lodging expenses incurred by customers, agents or suppliers,
prospective or otherwise, in connection with a visit to a Motorola facility or
product installation for any reasonable business purpose, including on-site
examination of equipment, the participation in a training session or contract
negotiations with Motorola, but (except for ground transportation provided by an
accompanying Motorolan) only in such cases where prior to any such visit:

          (i)    the written approval for the payment of such expenses has been
obtained from both the Office of the Division General Manager and the General
Counsel, and whenever practicable, the senior management of the traveler has
been informed of the payment of such expenses by Motorola, or

          (ii)   Motorola is obligated by contract to pay such expenses and the
obligation is specifically delineated.

     All such expenses must be accounted for in accordance with standard travel
procedures. General accounts such as sales promotion, should not be charged for
                                                             ---
travel expenses. Payment of such expenses by Motorola may only be made if they
are not otherwise prohibited. For example, payment of such expenses by Motorola
could be prohibited in a particular situation by applicable law or regulation,
by a contract, or by the policy of the customer, agent or supplier.

     Section 5.  Motorola will not employ any individuals known to be related,
by blood, marriage or adoption (except relations more remote than first cousin),
to any person having influence over the purchasing decisions of any private or
public entity to which Motorola sells any of its products unless such employment
is first disclosed to and approved in writing by (1) the senior management of
such private or public entity; and (2) the general manager of the Motorola
Group/Division involved.

C.   CONFLICT OF INTEREST

     Section 1.  Secondary Employment
                 --------------------

     (a)  A Motorola employee shall not:

          (i)    be employed by any other firm or person, including self-
                                                          ---------------
employment, if such firm or person is a competitor or supplier of Motorola, or
----------

          (ii)   be employed by any other firm or person, excluding self-
                                                          ---------------
employment, if such firm or person is a customer of Motorola, or
----------

          (iii)  engage in any activity where the skill and knowledge the
employee develops or applies in the employee's Motorola position is transferred
or applied to such activity in derogation of the present or prospective business
interests of Motorola.

                              Exhibit B - Page 4
<PAGE>

     (b)  A Motorola employee shall not have any relationship with any other
business enterprise which might affect the employee's independence of judgment
in transactions between Motorola and the other business enterprise or otherwise
conflicts with the proper performance of the employee's duties at Motorola.

     (c)  A Motorola employee may not accept any appointment to membership of
the Board of Directors, standing committee, or similar body of any outside
company, organization, or government agency (other than charitable, educational,
fraternal, political, community or religious organizations or similar groups)
without first receiving the prior approval of Motorola's Chief Executive
Officer, whether or not a possible conflict of interest might result from the
acceptance of any such appointment.

     Section 2.  Personal Financial Interest
                 ---------------------------

     (a)  Supplier-Customer Relationships. A Motorola employee may not have any
          -------------------------------
interest in any supplier or customer of Motorola which interest could in any
respect compromise the employee's loyalty to Motorola.

     (b)  Competitor Relationships. A Motorola employee may not have any
          ------------------------
interest in another enterprise which might appear to adversely affect the
employee's judgment regarding the employee's job or loyalty to Motorola. The
proper application of criteria concerning the effect of a specific interest on
an employee's judgment and loyalty will vary somewhat with the circumstances of
each employee, but generally, the greater the job responsibility of the employee
within Motorola, the higher the employee's duties are in these regards. Careful
consideration must be given by all employees to investments in enterprises
similar to Motorola. For instance, investments in companies primarily engaged in
semiconductor manufacturing and major competitors in wireless communications
equipment manufacture should be avoided. Other limitations may arise from
investments in companies whose business is similar to the Motorola employee's
group or sector organization and even more so regarding investments which are
similar to the employee's day-to-day responsibilities.

     In case of a remote or relatively minor business similarity which does not
adversely affect one's judgment or loyalty, an employee may find that there is
no conflict in owning interests:

          (i)  in a company, the shares of stock of which are publicly held and
traded on a national securities exchange or automated quotation system; and

          (ii) where the amount of stock owned by the employee is (a) less than
one one-hundredth of one percent of the class outstanding, and (b) less than 5%
of the employee's net worth.

     (c) Interest of Associates. The interest of a Motorola employee's associate
         ----------------------
in a supplier, customer or competitor of Motorola may create a conflict-of-
interest depending upon the facts and circumstances of the particular case.

     "Associate" for purposes of this policy statement shall mean:

                              Exhibit B - Page 5
<PAGE>

          (i)   any relative of a Motorola employee, any person living in the
employee's household or to whom the employee furnishes support or any person
having a personal relationship, similar to the above, with a Motorola employee;

          (ii)  any business in which the employee has a financial interest, any
creditor or debtor of the Motorola employee, or any other person benefits to
whom could reasonably be expected to relieve the Motorola employee of some
obligation or obtain for the employee some personal advantage or gain; or

          (iii) any trust or estate administered by such persons or in which
they may have a financial interest as a beneficiary.

     (d)  Business Involvement with Associates. A Motorola employee may not
          -------------------------------------
cause or Motorola to do business with any business in which the employee or an
associate is interested. If an instance occurs where it is important to
Motorola's advantage to enter into such a transaction, the proposed situation
shall be submitted in writing to, and receive prior written approval of
Motorola's General Counsel before any commitment is made. Such approval will not
be granted unless it can be ascertained that the terms of the transaction are to
be determined by competitive bidding or are established by law, or are
determined under other conditions which clearly establish an arm's length
fairness of terms.

     Section 3.  Inside Information
                 ------------------

     (a)  A Motorola employee may not buy or sell or recommend to others to buy
or sell, any security or other interest in property based on knowledge derived
from such person's employment. Employees should avoid transactions in the area
of real estate which Motorola may be considering buying or selling or has
decided to buy or sell.

     (b)  A Motorola employee may not disclose confidential Motorola information
to any person other than in the proper discharge of the employee's Motorola
duties.

D.   OPERATING PROCEDURES
     --------------------

     Section 1.  If at any time a Motorola employee (or a subordinate or an
associate of a Motorola employee) has engaged, or is about to engage in any
activity covered by the Code of Conduct, the employee should promptly make all
facts known to Motorola's Corporate Vice President and General Counsel who will:

     *    Give advice to employees concerning the Code of Conduct;

     *    Make factual investigations where indicated;

     *    Determine whether the facts give rise to a violation of the Code of
Conduct and advise the Chief Executive Office of each violation, and recommend
the remedial action to be taken; and

     *    Consider exceptions from the Code of Conduct on a case by case basis.

                              Exhibit B - Page 6
<PAGE>

     Section 2. Motorola's Corporate Vice President and General Counsel will
cause the Code of Conduct to be circulated periodically to each officer,
director and certain other employees.

     Section 3. In all substantive matters relating to the administration of
this Code of Conduct, the Corporate Vice President and General Counsel shall
confer with the Business Ethics Compliance Committee.
