Required Library which on the applicable date of delivery is not
already the subject of a valid registration or an application
therefor diligently prosecuted with the United States Copyright

jurisdiction in which Copyrights are used) identifying Grantor as
the sole claimant thereof in a manner sufficient to claim in the
public record (or as a co-claimant thereof, if such is the case)

would waive any trade secret rights and (B) cause to be
prepared, executed, and delivered to Administrative Agent, with
sufficient time to permit Administrative Agent to record no later
than 5 days following the date of registration of or recordation of
transfer of ownership, as applicable, to the Grantor of such

security interest of Administrative Agent in such Copyrights, which
supplemental schedules shall be in form and content suitable for
recordation with the United States Copyright Office (or any similar
office of any other United States jurisdiction in which Copyrights
are used) so as to give constructive notice, when so recorded, of
the transfer by Grantor to Administrative Agent of a security
interest in
