Know-How Necessary for the Business The Intellectual Property Rights are all those necessary for the operation of the Company’s businesses as it is currently conducted or as represented, in writing, to the Purchasers to be conducted. The Company is the owner of all right, title, and interest in and to each of the Intellectual Property Rights, free and clear of all liens, security interests, charges, encumbrances, equities, and other adverse claims, and has the right to use all of the Intellectual Property Rights. To the Company’s knowledge, no employee of the Company has entered into any contract that restricts or limits in any way the scope or type of work in which the employee may be engaged or requires the employee to transfer, assign, or disclose information concerning his work to anyone other than of the Company.

Any sale of a Collateral Obligation or an Equity Security (other than a Substitute Collateral Obligation) to the Collateral Manager, an Affiliate of the Collateral Manager or an Affiliate of the Issuer shall be at a purchase price at least equal to the current Fair Market Value of such Collateral Obligation or Equity Security and certified by the Collateral Manager to the Trustee.

As used in this Agreement, “Affiliates” means an entity under common management or control with the Company.
