Such changes to the Work Plans and Specifications, as well as any PMM proposed changes to the Work Plans and Specifications, TDD Project Schedule and/or TDD Project Budget to address Major Deviations PROPRIETARY INFORMATION (a) necessary to achieve TDD Project Completion by the year 2002 or (b) that would significantly reduce a future TDD Project Budget (which provided for higher than $40,000,000 spending) back to $40,000,000. To the extent that such changes are approved or directed, the Work Plans and Specifications, TDD Project Budget and TDD Project Schedule, as applicable, shall be revised by IDC, and approved at the next PMM. In addition, the Contract Review Committee shall direct IDC to revise the TDD Project Budget and TDD Project Schedule to reflect the changes to the Work Plans and Specifications previously approved by the PMM and within the PMM's authority. The Chairman shall provide written directives to IDC to perform all such actions set forth above. Such directive shall be a prerequiste for IDC to commence work according to the revised Work Plans and Specifications for changes not previously approved at a PMM, and within the PMM's authority.

INFORMATION (described in Section 2.7.3 below), shall be agreed to in writing by IDC's and Nokia's senior corporate representatives on the Contract Review Committee, such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, however, that the Contract Review Committee Chairman may, in good faith and after consultation with IDC, unilaterally reduce the scope of the work effort for the TDD Project, provided such change does not materially impair the objective of IDC to have the development of useable and licensable TDD Technology funded by Nokia in exchange for other considerations in this Agreement and the Patent License Agreement. By way of examples only, "material impairment" (i) includes reduction in the Work Scope and Specifications that would significantly reduce the Total Project Cost below the $40,000,000 amount contemplated by the initial Work Plans and Specifications and materially reduce any development of TDD Technology necessary for Third Generation, and (ii) excludes a significant reduction to the Work Plans and Specifications (a) necessary to achieve TDD Project Completion by the year 2002 or (b) that would significantly reduce a future TDD Project Budget (which provided for higher than $40,000,000 spending) back to $40,000,000. To the extent that such changes are approved or directed, the Work Plans and Specifications, TDD Project Budget and TDD Project Schedule, as applicable, shall be revised by IDC, and approved at the next PMM.
