Any such revisions shall be effective, upon written notice to LICENSEE; (a) for printed material upon ninety (90) days notice; and (b) immediately in respect of products to be manufactured after ninety (90) days from receipt of such notice.

4.3

LICENSEE shall submit samples of all documentation, packaging, and promotional or advertising materials bearing the Trademarks to ARM from time to time as requested by ARM to verify compliance with the Guidelines. LICENSEE shall immediately rectify any documentation, packaging, and promotional or advertising materials so as to comply with the Guidelines and cease using any non-compliant materials.

4.4

LICENSEE agrees to assist ARM in maintaining the validity of the Trademarks by retaining a record of its use of the Trademarks. Such records shall include samples of all uses of the Trademarks for each ARM Secure Core Based Product as well as information regarding the first use of each of the Trademarks in each country. Upon request from ARM, LICENSEE shall make available all such records to ARM.

4.5

Upon ARM’s request, LICENSEE shall provide, free of charge, samples of the use of the Trademarks for the purpose of trademark registration. LICENSEE shall support ARM in the application and maintenance of any registration for the Trademarks in the name of ARM. Upon request from ARM, LICENSEE shall execute any required registered user agreements (including any such other documents required by the applicable laws of any jurisdiction) for the Trademarks.

LICENSEE shall be supplied with a copy of or sufficient extracts from any preliminary and final report prepared by the Auditors. The Auditor’s report shall (in the absence of clerical or manifest error) be final and binding on the parties. Such audit shall be at ARM’s expense unless it reveals an underpayment of Royalties of five per cent (5%) or more, in which case LICENSEE shall reimburse ARM for the costs of such audit. LICENSEE shall make good any underpayment of Royalties forthwith. If the audit identifies that LICENSEE has made an overpayment of Royalties, such overpayment will be credited with the next such payment or payments to be made by LICENSEE.
