authorized by this Agreement or in breach of a term of this Agreement

this Agreement, Licensee shall, at Outdoor Image Agency' request,
provide a certificate of compliance signed by an officer of Licensee,
in a form to be approved by Outdoor Image Agency.

delivery of in electronic form, Licensee must retain the copyright
symbol, the name of Outdoor Image Agency and the image number or
other identification number associated with the Licensed Material

knowledge that any Licensed Material is subject to a threatened
or actual claim of infringement, violation of another right, or
any other claim for which Outdoor Image Agency may be liable herein,
or if Outdoor Image Agency withdraws any Licensed Material for any
good reason, Licensee will physically remove the Licensed Material
from its premises, computer systems and storage (electronic or physical)
and, if possible, cease any future use at its own expense. Outdoor

(which comparability will be determined by Outdoor Image Agency

legal or equitable action or proceeding before any court of competent
jurisdiction to obtain injunctive or other relief against Licensee
in the event that, in the opinion of Outdoor Image Agency, such
action is necessary or desirable.
6. Severability. If one or more of the provisions contained in the
Agreement is found to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any
respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining
provisions shall not be affected. Such provisions shall be revised
only to the extent necessary to make them enforceable.
7. Waiver. No action of either party, other than express written
waiver, may be construed as a waiver of any provision of this Agreement.
A delay on the part of either party in the exercise of its rights
or remedies will not operate as a waiver of such rights or remedies,
and a single or partial exercise by either party of any such rights
or remedies will not preclude other or further exercise of that
right or remedy. A waiver of a right or remedy on any one occasion
will not be construed as a bar to or waiver of rights or remedies
on any other occasion.
8. Entire Agreement. This Agreement contains all the terms of the
license agreement and no terms or conditions may be added or deleted
unless made in writing and signed by an authorized representative
of both parties. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms
contained herein and the terms contained on any purchase order sent
