Article VI

Royalty Payments, Reports, and Accounting Matters

6.1 Royalty Reports. Within thirty (30) days after each Reporting Period, Licensee will submit to InterDigital a written report, certified by Licensee’s Chief Financial Officer, summarizing (i) the Units manufactured by Licensee [*] during such Reporting Period; (ii) the computation of any royalty payable during that Reporting Period, and (iii) the amount of royalty due for such Reporting Period. If no Licensed Products [*] were manufactured during such Reporting Period, Licensee will so report. Licensee will pay the amount of any royalty due simultaneously with submission of its report by wire transfer to InterDigital or one of InterDigital’s Affiliates as directed by InterDigital.

6.2 Royalty Payments. All sums payable to InterDigital pursuant to this Agreement will be paid in United States Dollars. Licensee’s reports, as required by Section 6.1, will contain a statement setting forth any such computation of the number of United States Dollars remitted. All royalties that remain unpaid for more than forty-five (45) days after their due date will bear interest from the due date until paid at a rate four percent (4%) greater than the prime interest rate from time to time published in the New York edition of the Wall Street Journal.

6.3 Taxes. Licensee shall be responsible for all income, withholding and other taxes associated with payments made to InterDigital hereunder that are imposed by any jurisdiction other than the United States and its political subdivisions. All payments under this Agreement shall be “grossed up” as required to meet the obligations of Licensee under Article V so that the net amount actually paid to InterDigital is equal to the payments calculated in accordance with this Agreement. If the relevant government requires any such tax, Licensee will furnish InterDigital with appropriate documentation evidencing the payment of such tax as assessed by the appropriate authority of such government.

6.4 Audit. Licensee will keep [*] records that are adequate to establish the accuracy of the reports and the computation of royalties due under this Agreement for a period of five (5) calendar years including the five (5) years following termination or expiration of the licenses granted under Article IV. Licensee will [*] permit these records to be inspected and audited, at InterDigital’s expense, to verify the correctness of such reports and computations. Such inspections and audits will be during reasonable business hours and on reasonable notice. In the event of underpayment of royalties, Licensee shall promptly pay any underpayment together with interest at a rate four percent (4%) greater than the prime interest rate from time to time published in the New York edition of the Wall Street Journal. In addition, if royalties are found to have been understated by an amount in excess of five percent (5%), Licensee shall reimburse InterDigital for its costs and expenses incurred in having the inspection and audit conducted.

Each Party agrees to use the same degree of care to prevent disclosure of the Confidential Information as it uses to protect and safeguard its own highly valuable proprietary information, but in any event, not less than a reasonable degree of care. The receiving Party will use the Confidential Information only as necessary to exercise its rights or perform its obligations under this Agreement, and will not circulate Confidential Information within its own organization except to personnel with a specific need to know such Confidential Information for a permitted purpose.

In addition, InterDigital may disclose the terms of this Agreement to [*]. Each Party will be liable to the other for any unauthorized use or disclosure by the Party’s consultants, contractors, or other third party to whom disclosure is made. In addition, either Party may disclose this Agreement to a potential acquiror in connection with a potential acquisition of all or any material part of the business to which it relates, provided that such potential acquiror has entered into written agreements with the Party imposing obligations of confidentiality at least as restrictive as those imposed upon the Parties hereunder. Each Party will be liable to the other for any unauthorized use or disclosure by such potential acquiror.

7.3 Marking of Confidential Information. Confidential Information in written or tangible form shall be marked “CONFIDENTIAL”. All information which is orally or visually disclosed will be identified as confidential at the time the disclosure is made and is subsequently described in a written document that is marked with the appropriate designation and delivered to the receiving Party within thirty (30) days after the date of oral or visual disclosure. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Confidential Information shall include all information which the receiving Party should reasonably believe is confidential, such as Knowhow, source code, netlists, design documents, requirements specifications, and other technical information.

Article X

Force Majeure; Suspension of Work

10 Force Majeure. Either Party shall be excused for non-performance under this Agreement, for such period of time as the cause of non-performance continues to exist, if the failure to perform arises, in whole or in part, out of causes beyond the reasonable control and without the negligence of the Party. Such causes may include, but are not restricted to, acts of God or the public enemy, acts of any Government in either its sovereign or contractual capacity, fires, floods, epidemics, quarantine restrictions, strikes, boycotts or other work stoppages, freight embargoes, unusually severe weather, and any other cause similar to the kind herein enumerated or having an equivalent effect upon the Party’s ability to perform (“Force Majeure”).

10.2 Other Party’s Failure to Perform. If a Party is prevented or delayed in performing any obligation because of the other Party’s failure or delay in performing any action upon which the Party’s performance relies, that Party may suspend its performance until the non-performing Party completes its obligations. In addition, if InterDigital is prevented or delayed in performing any milestone for which a payment is due to it from Licensee under Section 5.1 by reason of Licensee’s failure or delay in performing any action required of Licensee, the milestone payment shall be made on the date set forth herein when it was otherwise scheduled to be paid.

Article XII

Export Control

12.1 Export Control. The Parties shall in performance of this Agreement comply with all applicable laws, executive orders, regulations (including without limitation U.S. and European Union export administration regulations), ordinances, rules, proclamations, demands and requisitions of national governments or of any state, local or other governmental authority. In addition, Licensee acknowledges that the Licensed Software and Licensed Technology are subject to the export control laws and regulations of the United States, and Licensee agrees to abide by those laws and regulations.

ARTICLE XIII

Dispute Resolution

13.1 Negotiation of Disputes. In the event of a dispute arising under this Agreement, senior level executives of the Parties shall meet in Wilmington, Delaware as soon as reasonably possible (but not later than forty-five (45) days after written notice of a dispute) and shall enter into good faith negotiations aimed at resolving the dispute. The Parties may agree to another location for their meeting. If the Parties are unable to resolve the dispute in a mutually satisfactory manner within an additional thirty (30) days from the date of the senior level meeting, either Party may submit the dispute to arbitration as provided for in Section 13.2 hereof. A dispute concerning the validity, scope, infringement or essentiality of a patent or a patent claim is not grounds for failure to pay royalties owed under this Agreement, and shall not constitute a part of any arbitration.

13.2 Arbitration of Disputes. If a dispute arising under this Agreement has not been resolved by the non-binding procedures set forth in Section 13.1 within the time periods provided, either Party may submit the dispute to arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its then current ICDR International Arbitration Rules (“AAA International Rules”) and as set forth in this Section. The arbitration proceeding shall take place in Wilmington, DE, in English, before a panel of three (3) arbitrators (the “Arbitration Panel”), all of whom shall be admitted to practice law in at least one jurisdiction in the United States, and at least two of whom shall have substantial experience in the field of intellectual property litigation or intellectual property licensing. The arbitration shall be commenced and conducted as follows:

a) The Parties shall request that the arbitrators conduct the arbitration proceeding in an expedited fashion in order to complete the proceeding and render a written decision within six months of the date upon which the Arbitration Panel was formed under the AAA International Rules. The Parties shall use their best efforts to cooperate with the arbitrators to complete the proceeding and render a decision within such six month period. Permitted discovery under sub-part e) hereof and times set in any scheduling order shall be limited to achieve a decision within the six month period.

22

b) The Arbitration Panel shall not under any circumstance consolidate, join or otherwise combine the arbitration proceeding with any other proceeding or party [*].

c) The arbitration proceedings shall be governed by this Agreement, by the AAA International Rules, by the procedural arbitration law of the site of the arbitration, and by the United Nations Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards. The Arbitration Panel shall determine the matters at issue in the dispute in accordance with the substantive law of the State of Delaware without regard to conflicts of laws principles. The Arbitration Panel shall decide the issues submitted as arbitrators at law only and shall base its award, and any interim awards, upon the terms of this Agreement and the laws of the State of Delaware. The Arbitration Panel has no power to reform this Agreement, except as specifically set forth in Section 14.5.

d) The Arbitration Panel shall take into account applicable principles of legal privilege and related protections, including the confidentiality of attorney-client communications and attorney-work product. No Party or witness shall be required to waive any privilege recognized at law. The Arbitration Panel shall issue orders as reasonably necessary to protect the confidentiality of proprietary information, trade secrets, and other sensitive information disclosed.

e) The Arbitration Panel shall have the exclusive authority to permit limited relevant confidential discovery to the extent required by a Party in order to establish its case. The Arbitration Panel shall decide any dispute regarding such requests for discovery or the adequacy of a discovery response by any Party.

f) The award of the Arbitration Panel shall be final and binding and a Party may seek enforcement of the award in any court of competent jurisdiction. The award of the Arbitration Panel shall clearly set forth the specific dollar amount(s), if any, payable by Licensee under the award. Any monetary award shall be payable in U.S. dollars, free of any tax, offset or other deduction. In the event of an underpayment of amounts due hereunder, Licensee shall promptly pay any underpayment together with interest at the compounded annual rate of [*] percent [*] from the dates the payments were due under the terms of this Agreement. If an award is issued by the Panel that requires Licensee to pay the lesser of (i) [*], or (ii) [*], Licensee shall also pay [*]. The award and any determination of the arbitration shall be subject to Section VII herein and shall be binding solely on the Parties.

23

g) Licensee shall continue to timely pay InterDigital all amounts accruing hereunder which are not disputed including, without limitation, while the dispute resolution proceedings are pending.

h) Nothing contained in this Article XIII shall preclude either Party from seeking a temporary restraining order pending resolution of the dispute in issue.

Article XIV

General

14.1 Publicity. The Parties shall issue the joint press release which is attached as Schedule 14.1 hereto on or shortly following the Effective Date. Except for the issuance of such press release or pursuant to a court order or as required by law, listing requirements and exchange (Nasdaq, NYSE etc.) rules or government regulation, neither Party will issue any press release or other public announcement concerning the execution of this Agreement or the Parties’ relationship hereunder without the written consent of the other Party. The Parties shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to limit the disclosure of the terms and conditions of this Agreement and, if appropriate under the circumstances, shall seek confidential treatment for any filings required to be made with the Securities and Exchange Commission or similar regulatory agency or stock exchange; provided, however, if such a disclosure is required, the Party required to make the disclosure shall give the other Party notice as soon as possible prior to the actual disclosure.

14.2 Governing law; Jurisdiction and Venue. The validity and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by Delaware law, without regard to conflict of laws principles. The Parties irrevocably consent to exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts in the State of Delaware to the extent a dispute arising under this Agreement cannot be properly brought before an Arbitration Panel (e.g., a request for a TRO or a judgment upon an arbitral award(s), which the parties agree may be entered by such court). Otherwise, Article XIV shall govern the form and venue for disputes arising under this Agreement. Process shall be deemed sufficient if served on either Party by courier service or recognized mail delivery service (e.g. U.S. Mail), postage prepaid, certified or registered, return receipt requested, and addressed as indicated on page 1 of this Agreement. The Parties hereby waive any objection as to the sufficiency of the method of service, if service is made as set forth herein.

14.3 Effect; Assignment; Termination on Change of Control. The terms and conditions of this Agreement shall be binding upon the Parties and inure to the benefit of their respective successors and permitted assigns. Except as specifically stated in this Agreement, neither this Agreement nor any of the rights,

interests or obligations of any Party shall be assigned without the prior consent of the other Party, and any such unauthorized assignment shall be void; provided, however, that InterDigital may assign this Agreement without such consent to: (i) an Affiliate; or (ii) a third party in connection with the transfer to such third party of the business to which this Agreement relates. [*].

14.4 Waivers. Either Party’s failure to insist upon the performance of any of the terms or conditions of this Agreement or to exercise any right hereunder shall not be construed as a waiver or relinquishment of the future performance of any such term or condition.

14.5 Severability/Reformation. The provisions of this Agreement are severable, and if any of them are held invalid or unenforceable, then those provisions shall be construed, or if necessary reformed, to the extent permitted by law so as to most closely meet the intent of the Parties. The invalidity or unenforceability of one provision shall not affect any other provision. To the extent the specific license grants made hereunder are construed as violating any applicable law or construed in a manner which extends beyond the intent of the Parties as evidenced in this Agreement (including but not limited to the creation of implied licenses where no such license was intended to be created), such provisions shall be reformed to the maximum extent possible by law to meet the intent of the Parties as stated in this Agreement.

14.6 Construction. Both parties have had an opportunity to have this Agreement reviewed and revised by legal counsel. No party shall be considered the drafter of this Agreement, and no presumption or rule that an ambiguity shall be construed against the party drafting the clause shall apply to the interpretation or enforcement of this Agreement.

14.7 Independent contractors. In making and performing this Agreement, the Parties are and shall act at all times as independent contractors, and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed or implied to create an agency, partnership, or employer-employee relationship between InterDigital and Licensee. At no time shall any Party make any commitments or incur any charges or expenses for or in the name of another Party.

14.8 Schedules and Exhibits. All schedules, exhibits and other attachments to this Agreement which are referred to herein are hereby incorporated in and made a part of this Agreement.

14.9 Amendments; Entire Agreement.
