(b) IP Interest; Event of Reversion.
(i) Each Multi-Phase Investor shall obtain their IP Interest in a proportionate amount to the Total Investment Amount listed for such Multi-Phase Investor on Annex V-A, at each Successive Closing, which shall be specifically set forth in the Replacement February 2010 Note for that particular Successive Closing.
(ii) In the event that a Multi-Phase Investor fails to fund its required investment amount on any Successive Closing pursuant to subsection (d) below (each failure to fund, an “Event of Reversion”), then any IP Interests previously acquired by such Multi-Phase Investor shall as of that date, at the option of the Company in its sole and absolute discretion, be irrevocably and unconditionally relinquished and automatically forfeited by such Multi-Phase Investor and shall automatically revert back to the Company as of the date of the applicable Unfunded

Such Multi-Phase Investor, however, shall still have the obligation to fund any and all additional required investment amounts pursuant to subsection (d) below on each Successive Closing(s) and shall have the right to acquire any IP Interest associated with any such Successive Closing(s) (but only such IP Interest associated therewith).

such Multi-Phase Investor’s obligation to fund its required investment amounts on any and all Successive Closings, time being of the essence. Each Multi-Phase Investor further acknowledges and agrees that the Company shall have no obligation to send any notices to perform under this Agreement, it being specifically understood and agreed that it is each Multi-Phase Investor’s responsibility to perform and fund its required investment amounts on all Successive Closings as agreed to in this Agreement without any further notice from the Company.

(iii) Notwithstanding anything else contained herein, upon the occurrence of an Event of Reversion, the Company in its sole and absolute discretion may approach one or more Purchasers (other than any non-performing Multi-Phase Investor) or third parties to purchase one or more Replacement February 2010 Notes in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Replacement February 2010 Note that would have been sold by the Company to the applicable non-performing Multi-Phase Investor on the applicable Successive Closing had such non-performing Multi-Phase Investor funded its required investment amount;
provided, that, in such event, if commitments to purchase such Replacement February 2010 Notes are delivered in an aggregate amount in excess of the aggregate principal amount of the offered Replacement February 2010 Notes, then the Company shall allocate the principal amount of the Replacement February 2010 Notes to the Offerees pro rata based on their respective commitments.

warranties set forth in Section 10 hereof.

has committed to purchase from the Company in writing. The purchase price for such Replacement February 2010 Note shall be equal to the Principal amount thereof.

In the event that the Qualcomm Dispute is fully and finally resolved or settled, or in the event of a final, non-appealable judgment in the Qualcomm Dispute, or in the event of dismissal of the Qualcomm Dispute for any reason pursuant to a final, non-appealable judgment, no Multi-Phase Investor shall thereafter have any further right or obligation to loan any additional funds to the Company on any Successive Closing or pursuant to any Replacement February 2010 Note.
(d) Sale and Issuance of Replacement February 2010 Notes at Second and Third Closings. Sale and Issuance of Replacement February 2010 Notes at Second and Third Closings.

Section 10. Purchaser Representations.
Each Purchaser hereby individually represents and warrants (as to itself only and not as to any other Purchaser) to the Loan Parties as follows:
(a) Such Purchaser is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).
(b) Such Purchaser and its advisors, if any, have had an opportunity (i) to ask questions of and receive answers from authorized representatives of the Loan Parties and (ii) to review any relevant documents and records concerning the business, properties, prospects, litigation matters and financial condition of the Loan Parties (including, without limitation, information relating to the Qualcomm Dispute) and the terms and conditions of the investment in the Notes to be purchased by such Purchaser hereunder (provided, that Xxxx X. Xxxxxxxx is not making the
representation and warranty in this clause (ii)), and any such questions have been answered to the full satisfaction of such Purchaser.
(c) Such Purchaser has reviewed its, his or her (as the case may be) financial condition and commitments, alone and together with such Purchaser’s advisors, and, based on such review, such Purchaser is satisfied that (i) such Purchaser has adequate means of providing for such Purchaser’s financial needs and possible contingencies and has assets or sources of income which, taken together, are more than sufficient so that such Purchaser could bear the risk of loss of the entire investment in the Notes, (ii) such Purchaser has no present or contemplated future need to dispose of all or any portion of the Notes to
satisfy any existing or contemplated undertaking, need, or indebtedness, and (iii) such Purchaser is capable of bearing the economic risk of an investment in the Notes for the indefinite future.
(d) The Notes to be purchased by such Purchaser will be acquired for its own account for investment and not with a view toward subdivision, resale or redistribution thereof in a manner prohibited under the Securities Act or applicable foreign or state securities laws, and such Purchaser does not presently have any reason to anticipate any change in its circumstances or other particular occasion or event that would cause such Purchaser to sell such Notes.
(e) It has been called to the attention of such Purchaser in connection with such Purchaser’s investment in the applicable Loan Party that (i) such investment is highly speculative in nature and involves a high degree of risk; (ii) repayment of the Obligations by the Loan Parties is solely and exclusively dependent on the final determination of the Qualcomm Dispute; and (iii) the Loan Parties have limited assets and a limited operating history. The Purchasers acknowledge that the final resolution of all litigation, including the Qualcomm Dispute, is subject to many factors and, accordingly, is extremely
speculative in nature, regardless of the relative positions and merits of each party’s claims or causes of action in such litigation. Such Purchaser acknowledges that (A) no Loan Party, and nor officer, director, attorney, advisor, representative or agent of any Loan Party, has made any representations or warranties as to the outcome or determination of the Qualcomm Dispute or any possible settlement thereof, and (ii) the Loan Parties may not receive or be awarded any IP Event Proceeds or any other amounts in connection with the Qualcomm Dispute, which may result in the inability of the Loan Parties to pay any of the Obligations.
32
(f) Such Purchaser has been advised that (i) there is no public market for any of the Notes or any other Securities of the Company and there may not be in the future any public market for the Notes or such other Securities, (ii) it may not be possible readily to liquidate an investment in any Notes or other Securities of the Company, (iii) the Notes cannot be resold without either registration under the Securities Act and under applicable state securities laws or an applicable exemption therefrom, and (iv) the Loan Parties have no present intention of registering any of the Notes or any other Securities of the Company under the
Securities Act.
(g) Such Purchaser understands that the Notes that may be issued or sold to such Purchaser will not have been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities law by reason of specific exemptions under the provisions thereof which depend in part upon the other representations and warranties made by such Purchaser in this Agreement, including such Purchaser’s state of residency indicated on the signature page of such Purchaser’s Accredited Investor Questionnaire. Such Purchaser understands that the Loan Parties and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents are relying upon such
Purchaser’s representations and warranties contained in this Agreement for the purpose of determining whether this transaction meets the requirements for such exemptions. Each Purchaser agrees to indemnify the Loan Parties from any and all claims, losses, damages and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and disbursements) arising out of any alleged material breach of this Agreement by such Purchaser or material inaccuracy of any representation or warranty by such Purchaser.
(h) If such Purchaser is an entity, the execution, delivery and performance by such Purchaser of this Agreement have been duly authorized by all requisite action (limited liability company, corporate, partnership or otherwise) by such Purchaser.
(i) This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by such Purchaser and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Purchaser, enforceable against such Purchaser in accordance with its respective terms, subject, as to enforceability, to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent conveyance, moratorium or other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights and remedies generally and to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding at law or in equity).
(j) If such Purchaser is an entity, it is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of its organization and has all requisite corporate, partnership or limited liability company power and authority (as applicable) to own, lease and operate its respective properties and other assets, to carry on its business as presently conducted and as presently proposed to be conducted, and to enter into this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder.
33
(k) In the case of a Purchaser who is an individual, such Purchaser is a natural person and has the legal capacity to enter into this Agreement and to perform his or her obligations hereunder.
(l) Such Purchaser understands that the Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act and may be resold only if registered pursuant to the provisions of the Securities Act or if an exemption from registration is available, except under circumstances where neither such registration nor such an exemption is required by law, and that the Company is not required to register the Notes.
(m) Such Purchaser has delivered to the Loan Parties a completed accredited investor questionnaire, substantially in the form of Exhibit H hereto (an “Accredited Investor Questionnaire”), duly executed by such Purchaser, the statements in which are true and correct.
(n) The Loan Parties have offered to sell Secured Notes to such Purchaser and such Purchaser (other than Xxxx X. Xxxxxxxx) has had an opportunity (i) to review any relevant documents and records concerning the terms and conditions of any investment in the Secured Notes, (ii) to ask questions of and receive answers from authorized representatives of the Loan Parties regarding the Secured Notes (which questions have been answered to the full satisfaction of the Purchaser) and (ii) to purchase Secured Notes hereunder.
