4.2 Sales and Account Management.
(a) Carrier Customer Agreements. Sharp, its Affiliates, or its authorized distributor will use best efforts to enter into separate handset supply agreements with Approved Carriers (each, a “Carrier Customer Agreement”) whereby such Approved Carriers will place purchase orders for Products. If Sharp wants to grant any Carrier Customer exclusive rights to distribute the Products in any territory, the Parties shall discuss and mutually agree on the rights to be granted. The Carrier Customer Agreement will, at a minimum, address the following points:
(i) Replacement Products, “Seed Stock” and Non-Working Display Units. Sharp shall provide seed stock so Carrier Customers can handle returns easily and shall offer mock-up, non-working display units to Carrier Customers to support sales.
(ii) Warranty and Reverse Logistics. Sharp shall be solely responsible for providing a warranty to the Carrier Customer stating that the Products will be free from defects in workmanship, materials, and hardware design and will comply with the Certified Product Design.

(b) Sharp will provide Danger with support for Sharp’s Product Designs so Danger may evaluate such Products Designs and create or modify Danger Software as necessary. Sharp will cooperate with Danger in Danger’s development efforts for designs of future Products, including providing feedback on design concepts, suggesting suppliers, and suggesting how contemplated products would fit into Sharp’s planned product lines.
(c) Sharp shall, at its expense, make all necessary tooling and test equipment for the design and manufacture of each Product (except for M-1, which is described in the attached Product Plan) unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Parties. Tooling and test equipment provided by one Party to the other or paid by one Party shall remain the property of the supplying or paying Party, as the case may be. In the event this Agreement terminates for a reason other than for Danger’s material breach, Danger shall have the right to purchase any Sharp owned tooling and test equipment for a Product at a reasonable price.

including but not limited to parts from new suppliers, design or manufacturing changes, Sharp shall first propose such changes to Danger in writing. If, in Danger’s opinion, any of the proposed changes require recertification or reapproval, Sharp shall [ * ] for seeking such recertification and/or reapproval; provided however, Danger shall be responsible for [ * ] for recertification and/or reapproval if Sharp’s change is [ * ] the Danger Design Technology or the Danger Software. In the event Danger incurs any costs, fines, damages or other liabilities due to (i) Sharp’s failure to notify Danger of a change to the M-1 Product or (ii) Sharp’s implementation of a change to the M-1 Product prior to Danger receiving the appropriate certifications or approvals for such change, Sharp shall reimburse and indemnify Danger for any such costs, fines, damages or other liabilities.
(iii) Sharp will provide, at its expense, all Products required for regulatory and industry testing and pre-testing to the approval bodies.

(c) Danger will provide Sharp with reasonable assistance in accordance with Section 15.1 to defend or settle GSM Claims. In the case of a GSM Claim, Danger will assist Sharp by having Danger engineers evaluate the claim and suggest ways (if any) to avoid infringement. Danger will use reasonable efforts to make this evaluation and assessment within one (1) month of Sharp’s request. In the case of a GSM Claim that the Danger Software causes an infringement, if in Danger’s opinion the claim can be avoided by making changes to the Danger Software at minimal cost, Danger shall use reasonable efforts to make such changes. If the cost of making such changes is, in Danger’s opinion, too expensive or difficult to make, Danger shall have no obligation to make the changes unless the parties mutually agree in writing.
(d) Sharp shall be responsible for all GSM royalty obligations or license fees arising out of the manufacture or sale of Products under this Agreement. Danger shall refer all parties seeking GSM royalties to Sharp. The Parties shall work together to take advantage of licensing opportunities with GSM rights holders to reduce GSM royalty obligations and license fees. This Section 4.5(d) shall not limit Sharp’s indemnity obligations under Section 4.5(b) above.

The parties shall share testing costs as follows:
PTCRB, Testing. [ * ] shall pay for the lab time testing costs recommended by the PTCRB approved test lab selected by Sharp (“X hours”) + up to [ * ] hours of additional lab time for follow-up testing. The additional testing (up to [ * ] hours) is to be expected as follow-up on the initial testing. If additional testing, above X + [ * ] hours (“Overtime”), is required [ * ], then [ * ] will pay the Overtime test costs. [ * ] pay for Overtime test costs related to [ * ] issues. If Overtime testing is required because of [ * ] software defects, then Sharp and Danger will request [ * ] to pay for such Overtime test costs. If [ * ] refuses, Sharp shall manage [ * ] to reach a suitable resolution.
Note: the test lab’s estimate for testing will need to be confirmed by Danger and Sharp as a reasonable estimate.
(a) Carrier Testing. [ * ] will pay for up to [ * ] hours testing lab time for each carrier. (This includes, but is not limited to costs for [ * ]’s test lab). Additional testing needed above [ * ] hours will be paid for by [ * ]; however, if it is determined that the problem causing the need for such additional testing is [ * ], then [ * ] shall reimburse Sharp for the costs of such additional testing. For carrier customers to whom Danger provides Shuriken directly, [ * ] be responsible for any of the expenses for the carrier approval testing, unless otherwise agreed upon in writing by Danger and Sharp.
(b) Legally Required Tests. Sharp shall pay for all legally required test and approval costs (e.g. FCC/IC).
Danger shall provide the following support for testing:
Danger will provide full support to Sharp Corporation in the area of compliance testing and certification, utilizing the experience gained on previous Danger projects.

For GSM industry approval (PTCRB), will be managed by Sharp and [ * ]. Danger will supply engineering resources to attend the testing on-site without charge for any testing booked at [ * ] at [ * ]. Engineering resources may be available to support testing at other laboratories (including [ * ] in the [ * ]) and locations provided that Sharp Corporation covers any travel related expenses for Danger’s Palo Alto, CA based personnel. Any travel related expenses shall be discussed and confirmed with Sharp prior to being incurred. In addition, Danger will provide feedback and analysis of test results obtained by Sharp throughout the product development cycle to aid the resolution of any test failures that occur.
Danger will have the right to use the test results internally for product management and planning purposes. In the event that Danger wishes to disclose this data for the purpose of establishing new carrier customers, Danger shall acquire Sharp’s written consent in advance.
The following schedule is based on the agreed schedule of [ * ]/Danger/Sharp.
