   DELIVERABLE ITEMS, DELIVERY DATES AND ACCEPTANCE PROCEDURE








ACCEPTANCE PROCEDURE

After delivery of any Deliverable Item, EA will have thirty (30)
business days to examine and analyze the delivered item to
determine whether it conforms to its specifications and whether
it is, in EA's sole judgment, acceptable.  EA will notify
Consultant of EA's acceptance or rejection of the Deliverable
Item and, in the case of any rejection, will provide Consultant
with a reasonably detailed list of deficiencies in the
Deliverable Item.  If EA fails to notify Consultant of EA's
acceptance or rejection within such period, Consultant may
request a written acceptance or rejection.  If EA does not
provide such a written acceptance or rejection by no later than
ten (10) business days after Consultant's request, then the
Deliverable Item will be deemed accepted.  In the case of a
rejection, Consultant will use diligent efforts to correct the
deficiencies and will resubmit the Deliverable Item, as
corrected, within five (5) business days of EA's rejection.  This
procedure will be repeated until EA either accepts the
Deliverable Item or elects to terminate this Agreement pursuant
to Section 7.01.
