          stables, the entry to the castle, and the addition of a medieval            
          village.  Additionally, MTNV had a contract to pay Eurotor for              
          management and consulting services.                                         
               The “Medieval Times” name was first used in the United                 
          States in December 1982 when Castro filed an application for a              
          post office box in Kissimmee.  From 1982 until the purported                
          licensing agreements with Manver, MTNV conducted business using             
          the “Medieval Times” name and the “formula” without paying                  
          compensation to any other person or entity.  Petitioners argue              
          that the agreements between MTNV and TM dated February 1, 1983,             
          bound MTNV to compensate TM for the use of the intangibles.                 
               The language in the two contracts between MTNV, Eurotor, and           
          TM, dated February 1, 1983, and January 20, 1983, is virtually              
          identical to the language in Forsyth’s November 1986 draft letter           
          to Santandreu.  Forsyth’s letter was a recap of a conversation              
          between Forsyth and Santandreu.  In the letter, Forsyth discussed           
          the franchise agreement, the script document, and the need to set           
          out TM’s responsibilities as licensor of the Medieval Times                 
          concept.  The letter stated that TM should include with its                 
          duties assistance with the design of costumes, with training                
          horses and actors, and with quality control.                                
               On cross-examination, Forsyth was asked about his notes                
          taken on or about May 20, 1986.  His testimony proceeded as                 
          follows:
