property, evidence of indebtedness or otherwise) having a fair
market value individually or in the aggregate of $15,000,000 or
more any asset or assets, real or personal, tangible or intan-
gible (other than inventory or accounts receivable acquired in

$18,000,000 and $51,800,000, respectively, shall individually,
or when aggregated with other changes in circumstances, consti-
tute a Material Adverse Effect."
