The Borrower will not transfer any part of its ownership interest in any Intellectual Property Rights and will not permit any agreement under which it has licensed Licensed Intellectual Property to lapse, except that the Borrower may transfer such rights or permit such agreements to lapse if it shall have reasonably determined that the applicable Intellectual Property Rights are no longer useful in its business. If the Borrower transfers any Intellectual Property Rights for value, the Borrower will pay over the proceeds to the Lender for application to the Obligations.

The Company covenants and agrees that it shall not consummate any such consolidation, merger, sale or transfer unless prior thereto the Company and such issuer shall have executed and delivered to the Rights Agent a supplemental agreement so providing. The Company shall not enter into any transaction of the kind referred to in this Section 13 if at the time of such transaction there are any rights, warrants, instruments or securities outstanding or any agreements or arrangements which, as a result of the consummation of such transaction, would eliminate or substantially diminish the benefits intended to be afforded by the Rights. The provisions of this Section 13 shall similarly apply to successive mergers or consolidations or sales or other transfers. For purposes hereof, the "earning power" of the Company and its Subsidiaries shall be determined in good faith by the Company's Board of Directors on the basis of the operating earnings of each business operated by the Company and its Subsidiaries during the three fiscal years preceding the date of such determination (or, in the case of any business not operated by the Company or any Subsidiary during three full fiscal years preceding such date, during the period such business was operated by the Company or any Subsidiary).
Sale of Assets, Etc (a) Subject to the penultimate paragraph of this clause (a), the Company will not and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to make any Transfer, provided that the foregoing restriction does not apply to a Transfer if:
(i) the property that is the subject of such Transfer constitutes (A) inventory, (B) equipment, fixtures, supplies or materials no longer required in the operation of the business of the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries or that is obsolete or (C) checks, drafts, money orders or other instruments with respect to accounts receivable that are to be collected in the ordinary course of business, and, in each case, such Transfer is in the ordinary course of business;
(ii) such Transfer is (A) from a Restricted Subsidiary to the Company or a Wholly-Owned Restricted Subsidiary or (B) from the Company to a Wholly-Owned Restricted Subsidiary;
(iii) such Transfer is subject to Section 11.2 and satisfies the requirements thereof; or
(iv) such Transfer is not a Transfer described in clause (i) through clause (iii) above, and all of the following conditions shall have been satisfied with respect to such Transfer (each such Transfer is referred to as a "Basket Transfer"):
(A) in the good faith opinion of the Board of Directors of the Company, the Transfer is in exchange for consideration with a Fair Market Value at least equal to the greater of book value or the Fair Market Value of the property exchanged, is in the best interests of the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries, and is not detrimental to the interests of the holders of Notes,
(B) immediately after giving effect to such transaction no Default or Event of Default would exist, and
(C) immediately after giving effect to such Transfer,
(I) the book value of all property that was the subject of any Basket Transfer occurring during the period beginning with the date that is 12 calendar months preceding the first day of the month in which such Basket Transfer occurred and ending on the date of such Basket Transfer does not exceed 10% of Consolidated Tangible Net Assets determined as of the end of the then most recently fiscal year of the Company ended prior to such period, and
(II) the Operating Income Contribution Percentage of all property that was the subject of any Basket Transfer occurring during the period beginning with the date that is 12 calendar months preceding the first day of the month in which such Basket Transfer occurred and ending on the date of such Basket Transfer does not exceed 10%. For purposes of determining the book value of any property that is the subject of a Transfer, such book value shall be the book value of such property, as determined in accordance with GAAP, at the time of the consummation of such Transfer, provided that, in the case of a Transfer of any capital stock or other equity interests of a Subsidiary, as provided in Section 11.9(b), the book value thereof shall be deemed to be an amount equal to
Merger, Sale of Assets, etc Subject to Section 4.2, if at any time while this Note remains outstanding and unexpired there shall be (a) a reorganization (other than a combination, reclassification, exchange or subdivision of shares otherwise provided for herein), (b) a merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation in which the Company is not the surviving entity, or a merger in which the Company is the surviving entity but the shares of the Company's capital stock outstanding immediately prior to the merger are converted by virtue of the merger into other property, whether in the form of securities, cash or otherwise or (c) a sale or transfer of the Company's stock, properties or assets as, or substantially as, an entirety to any other Person, then, as a part of such reorganization, merger, consolidation, sale or transfer, lawful provision shall be made so that Holder shall thereafter be entitled to receive by converting this Note the number of shares of stock or other securities or property of the successor corporation resulting from such reorganization, merger, consolidation, sale or transfer that a holder of the shares deliverable upon conversion of this Note would have been entitled to receive in such reorganization, consolidation, merger, sale or transfer if this Note had been converted immediately before such reorganization, merger, consolidation, sale or transfer (notwithstanding that the Stockholder Approval may not yet have been obtained), all subject to further adjustment as provided in this Section 4. The foregoing provisions of this Section 4.1 shall similarly apply to successive reorganizations, consolidations, mergers, sales and transfers and to the stock or securities of any other corporation. If the per share consideration payable to Holder hereof for shares in connection with any such transaction is in a form other than cash or marketable securities, then the value of such consideration shall be determined in good faith by the Company's Board of Directors based on the amount the Holder would have otherwise been entitled to receive had the transaction or transactions not occurred. In all events, appropriate adjustment (as determined in good faith by the Company's Board of Directors) shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Note with respect to the rights and interests of Holder after the transaction, to the end that the provisions of this Note shall be applicable after that event, as near as reasonably may be, in relation to any shares or other property deliverable after that event upon conversion of this Note. The Company shall be obligated to retain and set aside, or otherwise make fair provision for exercise of the right of the Holder to receive, the shares of stock and/or other securities, cash or other property provided for in this Section 4.1.
