REVIEW OF WORK IN PROGRESS. SCEA has the right pursuant to this Agreement to require Publisher to submit to SCEA work-in-progress on the Licensed Product at certain intervals throughout the development of such Licensed Product and, upon written notice to Publisher, at any time during the development process. Upon receipt by Publisher of "Approved" or "Conditional Approval" status of the Licensed Product, Publisher must, within the time frame indicated in the approval letter, communicate with SCEA and mutually agree on a framework for the review of such Licensed Product throughout the development process ("Review Process"). Once the Review Process has begun, Publisher shall be responsible for submitting work-in-progress to SCEA in accordance with such Review Process. FAILURE TO SUBMIT WORK-IN-PROGRESS IN ACCORDANCE WITH ANY STAGE OF THE REVIEW PROCESS MAY AT SCEA'S DISCRETION, RESULT IN REVOCATION OF APPROVAL OF SUCH LICENSED PRODUCT. SCEA shall have the right to approve, reject or require additional information with respect to each stage of the Review Process, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed by SCEA. SCEA shall specify in writing the reasons for any such rejection or request for additional information and shall state what corrections and/or improvements are necessary. If any stage of the Review Process is not provided to SCEA or, after a reasonable cure period agreed to between SCEA and Publisher, is not successfully met, SCEA shall have the right to revoke the approval of Publisher's Product Proposal. No approval by SCEA of any particular stage of the Review Process shall be deemed an approval of any other stage, nor shall any such approval be deemed to constitute a waiver of any approval requirement with respect to any other stage or any of SCEA's rights under this Agreement. LICENSED PRODUCTS WHICH ARE CANCELED BY PUBLISHER OR ARE LATE IN MEETING THE FINAL EXECUTABLE SOFTWARE STAGE OF THE REVIEW PROCESS BY MORE THAN THREE (3) MONTHS (WITHOUT AGREEING WITH SCEA ON A MODIFIED FINAL EXECUTABLE SOFTWARE DELIVERY DATE) ARE SUBJECT TO RE-SUBMISSION OF PRODUCT PROPOSAL, IN WHICH EVENT SCEA MAY RE-APPROVE OR DISAPPROVE SUCH PRODUCT PROPOSAL. The "Approved" or "Conditional Approval" status of the Product Proposal shall not be construed by Publisher as full approval of all elements of such Licensed Product, or as a commitment by SCEA to grant final approval to the Licensed Product. Failure to make changes required by SCEA to the Licensed Product at any stage of the Review Process, or making material changes to the Licensed Product without SCEA's approval may, in addition to the provisions set forth in this Section, subject Publisher to the termination provisions set forth in Section 15.3
