Common use of Type Approval Clause in Contracts

Type Approval. Prior to commencing commercial mass production of any China WORLDSPACE PC Cards and China WORLDSPACE Receivers, TONGSHI will submit to WORLDSPACE for its inspection: (i) a prototype of each PC card or receiver that TONGSHI proposes to manufacture, so that WORLDSPACE may confirm that such prototype PC card or receiver performs in accordance with the WORLDSPACE Format and the Technical Specifications; and (ii) the preliminary design specifications for such PC cards or receivers, including all circuit diagrams, blueprints (or equivalents thereof), component specifications (if WORLDSPACE requests) and overall specifications of such prototype PC card or receiver. If such prototype PC card or receiver successfully passes WORLDSPACE’s test, it will be deemed an approved “China WORLDSPACE PC Card” or “China WORLDSPACE Receiver,” as the case may be, under this Agreement. After a PC card or receiver has been qualified as a China WORLDSPACE PC Card or China WORLDSPACE Receiver, as the case may be, no changes may be made to the China WORLDSPACE PC Card or China WORLDSPACE Receiver except for those which are cosmetic in nature or which do not materially affect the function or quality of the China WORLDSPACE PC Card or China WORLDSPACE Receiver unless the PC card or receiver is resubmitted to WORLDSPACE for testing and WORLDSPACE confirms that this modified PC card or receiver continues to qualify as a China WORLDSPACE PC Card or China WORLDSPACE Receiver. All testing will be performed at WORLDSPACE’s then current testing rates. As of the Effective date of this Agreement, WORLDSPACE’s standard rates are as set forth in Appendix 8, but WORLDSPACE reserves the right to make reasonable changes to its rates with prior notification to TONGSHI. The testing fees for the first prototype PC card and the first prototype receiver to be tested are included in the license fee paid by TONGSHI to WORLDSPACE pursuant to Article 4.1.3 hereinafter.
