If, pursuant to any such copyright law or similar law, Owner or any successor or any other legally designated party (all herein referred to as “the terminating party”) becomes entitled to exercise any right to reversion, recapture or termination ( the “termination right”) with respect to all or any part of the rights granted or to be granted under this Agreement, and if the terminating party exercises said termination right with respect to all or part of said rights (the “recaptured rights”), then from and after the date on which the terminating party has the right to transfer to a third party all or part of the recaptured rights, Purchaser shall have the first right to purchase and acquire the recaptured rights from the terminating party.

Purchaser shall have 30 days from the date of its receipt of such written offer within which to notify the terminating party of its acceptance of such offer (provided, however, the Purchaser shall not be required to meet any terms or conditions which cannot be as easily met by one person as another, including, without limitation, the employment of a specified person, etc.) If Purchaser shall acquire from the terminating party all or part of the recaptured rights, then the terminating party agrees to enter into appropriate written agreements with Purchaser covering said acquisition. If Purchaser shall elect not to purchase the recaptured rights from the terminating party, then the terminating party may dispose of said recaptured rights, but only to the aforesaid third party and only upon the terms and conditions specified in the aforesaid written notice given by the terminating party to Purchaser, it being understood and agreed that the terminating party may not dispose of said recaptured rights either to: (a) any other proposed transferee; or (b) upon terms and conditions which are more favorable to any transferee than the terms and conditions previously offered to Purchaser hereunder, without again offering to enter into an agreement with Purchaser on: (i) the terms offered to such other transferee; or (ii) such more favorable terms and conditions offered to said proposed transferee, whichever of (a) or (b) shall apply. Any such required offer made to Purchaser by the terminating party shall be governed by the procedure set forth in the preceding four sentences of this Paragraph. The unenforceability of any portion of this Paragraph shall not invalidate or affect the remaining portions of this Paragraph of this Agreement.

9.

13. ADDITIONAL DOCUMENTATION: Owner agrees to execute and procure any other and further instruments necessary to transfer, convey, assign and copyright all rights in the Property granted herein by Owner to Purchaser in any country throughout the world. If it shall be necessary under the laws of any country that copyright registration be acquired in the name of Owner, Purchaser is hereby authorized by Owner to apply for said copyright registration thereof; and, in such event, Owner shall and does hereby assign and transfer the same unto Purchaser, subject to the rights in the Property reserved hereunder by Owner. Owner further agrees, upon request, to duly execute, acknowledge, procure and deliver to Purchaser such short form assignments as may be requested by Purchaser for the purpose of copyright recordation in any country, or otherwise.
