AMENDMENTS
1. Amendment to Section 4.9(F)(ii). Section 4.9(F)(ii) is amended in its entirety to read as follows:
(ii) Following the receipt of the assignments and license required pursuant to Section 9.9, each Person who is or was an employee, agent, partner, consultant or contractor of Seller or NASI, and each other Person who is or was involved in the creation, development or maintenance of any Owned Seller IP has signed a valid, enforceable agreement containing: (a) an irrevocable assignment of Intellectual Property Rights to Seller and/or a work-made-for-hire agreement under the U.S. Copyright Act or analogous provision of applicable non-U.S. law vesting in Seller exclusively all Intellectual Property Rights developed in the course of the Person’s relationship with Seller, and (b) confidentiality provisions protecting the Owned Seller IP. Following the receipt of the assignments and license required pursuant to Section 9.9, no current or former stockholder, member, officer, director, governor, partner or employee has any claim, right (whether or not currently exercisable) or interest to or in any Owned Seller IP. To Seller’s Knowledge, no employee is: (a) bound by or otherwise subject to any Contract restricting him or her from performing his or her duties for Seller or NASI, or (b) in breach of any Contract with any former employer or other Person concerning Intellectual Property Rights or confidentiality.
2. Amendment to Section 4.9(K). The first sentence of Section 4.9(K) is amended to read as follows:

For avoidance of doubt, with respect to consultants or employers that are legal entities (such as NASI), such evidence will not only include an assignment from such legal entity to Seller, but also evidence of valid assignments to such legal entity from their employees and consultants.

12. Assignments; Successors; and No Third Party Rights. No party may assign any of its rights or delegate any of its rights or obligations under this Amendment without the prior written consent of the other parties, except that Buyer may assign any of its rights and delegate any of its obligations under this Amendment to any wholly-owned subsidiary of Buyer by providing notice of such assignment to the other parties provided that Buyer and such subsidiary shall remain jointly and severally liable for the performance of its obligations hereunder for the period of time such obligations are enforceable under this Amendment. Subject to the foregoing, this Amendment will apply to, be binding in all respects upon and inure to the benefit of the successors and permitted assigns of the parties. Nothing expressed or referred to in this Amendment will be construed to give any Person other than the parties to this Amendment any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or with respect to this Amendment or any provision of this Amendment, except to such wholly-owned subsidiary of Buyer to whom the Acquired Assets and Liabilities may be sold, and except for such rights as shall inure to a successor or permitted assignee pursuant to this Section 12.
