Sections 4.1 and 4.2 describe EB Milestone-based Deliverables and EB Services including support packages. The official Change Control Process currently in place between TSN and EB under the Agreement will be followed for Changes to the scope of this SOW3 amendment including Deliverables, main program schedule, Specifications, dependencies (including but not limited to the AT&T approval process and its time schedule and Satellite integration camp 3) and scope of Services.

The Parties acknowledge that the scope of this SOW3 amendment excludes certain critical pre-launch operational activities, related to manufacturing ramp-up, forward and reverse logistics, after market services and repair work. Such items include but are not limited to a product tracking system and server(s).

As part of this SOW3 amendment, [***] will be delivered to and used by EB for research and development purposes and [***] units will be delivered to TerreStar for internal use. All [***] units of the [***] will be delivered to TerreStar and will be commercially saleable units that will not qualify for warranty coverage but will have commercial IMEIs. Re-flashing of software to a commercially accepted release will be necessary prior to sale of any such units. TerreStar will be responsible for any re-flashing of these Handsets to commercially acceptable releases. Material and labor costs resulting from [***] and [***] builds are covered by this SOW3 amendment or prior SOWs as the case may be.
