erm.. Didn't Amiga Inc, Washington go insolvent?

[The 2001 agreement is between] "Amiga Inc (hereafter: "Amiga"), a State of Washington, USA Corporation" [and Hyperion and Eyetech].

If so then surely clause 2.07 becomes valid:
Quote

[Clause 2.07 states that] "In the event Amiga files for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, the Amiga One Partners are granted an exclusive, perpetual, world-wide and royalty free right and license to develop, use, modify and market the Software and OS4 under the "Amiga OS" trademark and at their sole expense."
