In addition, DISTRIBUTOR agrees to obtain such assignment, waiver or covenant not to assert such rights from any subsidiary, subcontractor, or employee who creates, either in whole or in part, the Translation. As used herein, RMoral RightsS means any right to (i) divulge the Translation to the public; (ii) retract the Translation from the public; (ii) claim authorship of the Translation, including any subsequent version thereof; (iv) object to any distortion, mutilation or other modification of the Translation; and (v) any and all similar rights existing under the judicial or statutory law of any country or jurisdiction in the world, or under any treaty, regardless of whether such right is called or generally referred to as a "moral right."
