Delivery of Validation and Verification Confirmation

V.2.1.2 If the STA Log Results and the RTLPost Layout Equivalence Log Results, (together the “Log Results”) indicate that no errors have been detected (or the parties have jointly agreed a waiver in respect of any detected errors), LICENSEE shall deliver a Verification Confirmation to ARM and ARM shall acknowledge, in writing, the receipt by ARM of the Verification Confirmation within ten (10) working days of its receipt by ARM.

Verification Criteria

V.2.1.3 The Implementation of the Mali GPU shall be verified when; (i) the Log Results indicate that no errors have been detected (or the parties have jointly agreed a waiver in respect of any detected errors); and (ii) LICENSEE has received confirmation of receipt of the relevant Verification Confirmation from ARM in accordance with the provisions of Clause V.2.1.2.

Records and Delivery of Equivalence Log Results

V.2.1.4 For each ARM Compliant Product incorporating an Implementation of the Mali GPU, LICENSEE shall keep a copy of the Log Results for such ARM Compliant Product and shall deliver, as soon as reasonably possible, copies of such records to ARM upon request from ARM. If ARM concludes that the Implementation of the Mali GPU has not been verified in accordance with the provisions of Clause V.A.4, then ARM shall indicate to LICENSEE the errors which ARM has detected and LICENSEE shall repeat the process prescribed in Clauses V.2.1.1-V.2.1.3.
