        technologies to Symbol Technologies, Inc. ("Symbol").

2.      This agreement shall run from *** through ***.

3.      Novatel agrees to supply the CDPD modems to Symbol at a unit
        price not to exceed $139 US or at ***, whichever is lower.  For
        GPRS, Ricochet II, GSM EDGE and CDMA technologies, Symbol's
        cost will be ***.

4.      Symbol agrees to purchase a total of *** or *** from Novatel over the
        *** of the agreement. If Symbol does not meet this commitment ***, and
        does not integrate another CDPD modem solution, Symbol will not be
        liable for any monetary penalty.

5.      If Symbol chooses to utilize another CDPD modem vendor for reasons other
        than under performance of Novatel's hardware, software or record in
        meeting agreed delivery dates, Symbol will make payments equaling *** on
        any outstanding forecast volumes.
