others, except (a) to the extent such data or information is published, is a
matter of public knowledge, or is required by law to be published; or (b) to the
extent that such data or information must be used or disclosed in order to

8.7 Schedules;
Knowledge. The
Ingenious Schedules and Purden Lake Schedules referred to herein and delivered

deemed adequate to disclose an exception to a representation or warranty made
herein, unless the Schedule identifies the exception with reasonable
particularity and describes the relevant facts in reasonable detail, including
by cross-reference to another Schedule. The inclusion of any
information in the Schedules shall not be deemed to be an admission or
acknowledgment, in and of itself, that such information is required by the terms
hereof to be disclosed, is material to the business of Ingenious or Purden Lake,
as the case may be, or is outside the ordinary course of
business. Ingenious is responsible for preparing the Ingenious
Schedules and Purden Lake is responsible for preparing the Purden Lake
Schedules. Each of the Ingenious Schedules and the Purden Lake Schedules will be
arranged in paragraphs corresponding to the numbered and lettered paragraphs
contained in this Agreement, and the disclosure in any such numbered and
lettered section of the Ingenious Schedules or the Purden Lake Schedules, as the
case may be, shall qualify and shall be deemed to qualify such other paragraphs
in this Agreement to the extent such qualification is reasonably apparent
regardless of the absence of any express cross-reference to such other
paragraph. Each party is presumed to have full knowledge of all
information set forth in the other party’s Schedules delivered pursuant to this
Agreement.

remedy, whether conferred herein, at law, or in equity, and may be enforced
