     3.4  TESTING, CORRECTION AND APPROVAL OF DATABASES:

          3.4.1    BMW shall have a period of 30 days from the date upon which
                   NAVTECH supplies the copy of the Database Master on CD-ROM in
                   the CDF format within which to test the Database in
                   accordance with the Acceptance Testing procedure contemplated
                   in Annexure "C" hereto ("the testing period") in order to
                   determine whether same meets the Specification.

          3.4.2    By no later than the day immediately following the expiration
                   of the testing period BMW shall notify NAVTECH, in writing,
                   as to whether the Database Master is approved or,
                   alternatively, that the said Database Master fails to pass
                   the Acceptance Testing. In the latter circumstances BMW shall
                   document the detailed reasons why the Database does not pass
                   the Acceptance Testing and notify NAVTECH accordingly. Should
                   BMW fail to notify NAVTECH as contemplated herein BMW shall
                   be deemed to have approved the Database Master.

                   Acceptance Testing NAVTECH shall be afforded a period
                   [redacted] from its receipt of the detailed notice
                   contemplated in clause 3.4.2 within which to correct the
                   defects identified by BMW and to supply a corrected Database
                   to VDO for compilation. Alternatively, NAVTECH shall
                   demonstrate to BMW, within the above [redacted] period, a
                   corrective programme to overcome the defects within a period
                   approved by BMW, which approval shall not be unreasonably
                   withheld.

          3.4.4    Upon receipt of the corrected Database Master BMW shall have
                   a further period of 30 days within which to repeat the
                   Acceptance Testing contemplated in Annexure "C". Thereafter,
                   and by no later than the day following the expiration of the
                   further testing period referred to herein BMW shall notify
                   NAVTECH, in writing, as to whether the Database Master is
                   approved or, alternatively that the Database fails to pass
                   the Acceptance Testing. In the latter circumstances BMW shall
                   document the detailed reasons why the Database Master does
                   not pass the Acceptance Testing and notify NAVTECH
                   accordingly, and the provisions of 3.4.3 and this clause
                   3.4.4 shall apply, until the Database Master is approved.
                   Should BMW fail to notify NAVTECH as contemplated herein BMW
                   shall be deemed to have approved the Database Master.
                   [redacted]

          3.4.5    Notwithstanding the foregoing of this Clause 3.4, a Database
                   Master shall not be deemed to have failed the Acceptance
                   Testing where a failure to meet the test set forth in
                   Annexure "C" is due to (i) software, information or items
                   other than the Database Master, including without limitation,
                   hardware and software of the BMW navigation system (including

                   confidentiality.

     8.2  The Receiving Party hereby undertakes to protect confidential

                   restriction through no fault of the Receiving Party or its
                   employees or agents; or

          8.6.2    is received without restriction from a third party lawfully

                   without restriction prior to its disclosure by the Disclosing
                   Party; or

          8.6.4    was independently developed by employees or consultants of
                   the Receiving Party without access to such confidential
                   information; or

          8.6.5    is required to be disclosed by law or by a lawful requirement
                   of any government or governmental body, authority or agency
                   having authority over the Receiving Party, or if such
                   disclosure is required in connection with legal proceedings
                   relating to this agreement; provided, however, that in each
                   such event the Receiving Party shall give the Disclosing
                   Party prior written notice of any proposed disclosure to
                   enable the Receiving and/or Disclosing Party to seek a
                   protective order or other remedy to prevent the disclosure.

9.   TRADE NAME AND MARK

          title to such trade name and/or trade marks of the other party.

     9.4  Each party hereby acknowledges that nothing contained in this
          agreement shall afford the other party any rights in or to any such
          trade marks, names, initials, designs, copyrights or patents of the
          other party (or its affiliates).

     9.5  NAVTECH shall not use any BMW trade mark or trade name without the
          express prior written consent of BMW. Where such consent is provided,

          confidential information provided to it by the other party under this
