Promptly on or after the Effective Date, Library shall provide to Midwest Tape a written inventory of Pre-Owned Content(if
any)that the Library has obtained prior to the Effective Date or otherwise outside the scope of this Agreement.
2. Format of inventory and additional information regarding POC.
The written inventory shall be provided in table format as set forth in Part 1 of Schedule 1,or in another mutually agreeable
format,and shall include the following information,for each license comprising Library's Pre-Owned Content:
(1) the title,format(eBook or Audiobook),author(s),street date,publisher,ISBN number;
(2) the date of purchase of the license,and the license type(e.g., Perpetual license, Limited Borrows license, Limited Time
Period license,Limited Borrows&Time Period license);
(3) the rights that Library has to that copy of the work,including the term and expiration date(if any)of the license and any
other metering or other limitations on the term of the license(e.g., borrow limit),including the amount of time and/or
number of borrows already used, as well as number of borrows remaining available,for the license as of the date of
transfer;and
(4) the name and contact information of the company or other entity from which Library obtained the license (or, if the
Library owns the copyright in a work,a statement identifying Library's ownership of such work).
Library agrees to work in good faith to effectuate the assignment and transfer of Library's rights in such Pre-Owned Content
to Midwest Tape, including, but not limited to notifying the owner and/or licensor of such Pre-Owned Content when the
content is transferred. Upon request, Library also shall provide Midwest Tape with copies of any licenses, purchase orders,
agreements,or any other documents reflecting Library's purchase or license of any Pre-Owned Content.
Warranty by Library regarding POC Rights: Library represents and warrants that it owns the rights and licenses in and to the
Pre-Owned Content set forth in Schedule 1 to Appendix 3, and that unless specifically stated in the Schedule, Library is
authorized to assign or otherwise transfer such Pre-Owned Content to Midwest Tape as provided for under the terms of this
Agreement.
3. Assignment by Library of Rights in POC
As set forth on Schedule 1 to this Appendix 3,to the extent that Library has licensed any Pre-Owned Content,Library assigns
and transfers its rights in or to such Pre-Owned Content to Midwest Tape for the purpose of allowing Midwest Tape to store,
display,reproduce,grant rights of access to,convert,encode,distribute or otherwise administer and make such Pre-Owned
Content available to Patrons via the hoopla Platform. Similarly, if and to the extent that Library owns the copyright to any
content that may be made available to Patrons via the Digital Media Platform,Library hereby grants Midwest Tape a fully paid,
royalty-free license to include such content in the Digital Media Platform and to make such content available via the Digital
Media Platform without charge, and Library represents and warrants that such content does not infringe the copyright,
trademark,or other rights of any third party.To the extent that Library cannot assign or otherwise transfer its rights in or to
any Pre-Owned Content to Midwest Tape,Library grants Midwest Tape the exclusive right to negotiate with the owner and/or
licensor of such Pre-Owned Content on Library's behalf,to obtain an assignment,transfer,license or any other rights necessary
to allow Midwest Tape to store, display, reproduce, grant rights of access to, convert, encode, distribute or otherwise
administer and make such Pre-Owned Content available to Patrons via the Digital Media Platform.
4. Efforts to include POC on the hoopla Platform to the extent possible.
Upon receipt of the Library's inventory of Pre-Owned Content, Midwest Tape will work to assess the extent to which it can
include some or all of the Pre-Owned Content via the Platform. Library acknowledges and agrees that: (i) Midwest Tape's
ability to offer Pre-Owned Content on the Platform depends upon factors outside of Midwest Tape's control,including without
limitation the scope and assignability of the Pre-Owned Content;and(ii) Midwest Tape does not represent or warrant that
any or all Pre-Owned Content can or will be made available through the Platform. If Midwest Tape determines, in its sole
discretion,that any Pre-Owned Content may be made available to Library's Patrons on the Platform,Midwest Tape will arrange
to provide such Pre-Owned Content subject to the terms and conditions set forth in Library's existing licenses for such Pre-
Owned Content or on such other terms and conditions that Midwest Tape may obtain from the owner of such Pre-Owned
Content.
