Such ------------------------ Certification Programs may, in InterTrust's sole discretion require, for example, MBC to: (i) use a suite of test software provided by InterTrust for use by MBC to internally test and verify that Cooperative Applications, MBC Products and/or associated services are in Compliance with InterTrust Specifications; (ii) submit samples of Cooperative Applications and MBC Products and any associated programs, parameter data, and any other product information that may be technically material to Compliance with InterTrust Specifications prior to first use, distribution, sale, or other transfer to a Customer other than limited beta testing and pilot model operation as specified by InterTrust Specifications, so as to allow InterTrust (or an InterTrust delegate) to perform confidential testing ("Certification ------------- Testing"); and/or (iii) provide InterTrust with full and detailed ------- specifications and documentation related to MBC's use of InterTrust Technology and Modified Technology for MBC Products, Cooperative Applications and any associated services, wherein such specifications and documentation are material to such compliance testing and wherein all such specifications and documentation shall be certified by an authorized representative of MBC. MBC understands and acknowledges that such a Certification Program is critical to maintaining the reliability of products and services employing InterTrust Technology and/or Modified Technology, and in maintaining public confidence in the integrity of InterTrust brands as the resource for interoperable electronic commerce. MBC shall comply with the Certification Program established by InterTrust including, without limitation, provisions relating to delivery of samples, correction of non-Compliant products, and applications and associated services, and inclusion of certification marks or logos on Cooperative Applications, MBC Products and associated services. In connection with any Certification Testing, particularly the testing of submitted products and/or services, as applicable, InterTrust (or an InterTrust delegate) will respond in a prompt manner, and in no event later than one hundred twenty (120) days following its receipt of such submitted products, unless commercially reasonable factors prolong such testing. Such response shall be in the form of: (a) a written approval that the product or service is certified (such products and services not being Compliant until such certification has been granted); or (b) if not approved, a detailed summary of problems and, where feasible, suggested solutions. InterTrust (or an InterTrust delegate) will apply the Certification Program, as applicable, in a non-discriminatory and consistent manner with respect to similar products and/or services. InterTrust's rights under this Section 6.1 shall not be affected in any manner by an InterTrust decision not to perform such Certification Testing.
