If any assets are to be distributed in kind, the Liquidators shall ascertain the fair market value (by appraisal or other reasonable means) of such assets, and each Member’s Capital Account shall be charged or credited, as the case may be, as if such asset had been sold for cash at such fair market value and the net gain or net loss recognized thereby had been allocated to and among the Members in accordance with Article IX above.

Any such distributions in respect to Capital Accounts shall, to the extent practicable, be made in accordance with the time requirements set forth in Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(b)(2) of the Treasury Regulations.

The Borrower will not license any other Person to use any of the Borrower’s Intellectual Property Rights, except that the Borrower may grant licenses in the ordinary course of its business in connection with sales of Inventory or provision of services to its customers.
