Exhibit 10.1

 

Patent Security Agreement

Patent Security Agreement, dated as of September 11, 2018, by ParkerVision Inc.,
a Florida corporation ("Pledgor"), in favor of Mintz Levin Cohn Ferris Glovsky
and Popeo, P.C. (the "Recipient").

WITNESSETH:

WHEREAS, the Pledgor is party to a fee agreement dated as of February 25, 2016
(as amended, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time
to time, including the fee agreement dated August 17, 2018 regarding the second
phase of the monetization program, and the fee agreements dated August 20, 2018
regarding (i) the New Jersey district court action, (ii) support of German
litigation and (iii) the IPR appeal (collectively, the "Fee Agreement") and
desires to grant a security interest in certain of Pledgor’s patents to
Recipient.

Now, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and to induce the Recipient to
enter into further dealings, the Pledgor hereby agrees with the Recipient as
follows:

SECTION 1. Grant of Security Interest. As security for prompt and complete
payment of the Secured Promissory Note dated August 20, 2018, made by Pledgor in
favor of Recipient (the “Note”) and for future invoices issued by Recipient
under the Fee Agreement, Pledgor does hereby pledge, collaterally assign and
grant to the Recipient, its successors and assigns, a continuing security
interest in all of its right, title or interest in, to or under all of the
following assets, regardless of where located (collectively, the “IP
Collateral”):

(a)    Patents of the Pledgor listed on Schedule I attached hereto; and

(b)    all proceeds of any and all of the foregoing.

SECTION 2. Security Agreement. The security interests granted to the Recipient
herein are granted in furtherance, and not in limitation of, the interests
granted to the Recipient in the Fee Agreement.  In the event of any conflict
between the terms of this Agreement and the Fee Agreement, the terms of the Fee
Agreement shall govern.

SECTION 4. Termination. Upon the payment in full of the Note and of future
invoices issued by Recipient under the Fee Agreement, the Recipient shall
promptly execute, acknowledge, and deliver to the Pledgor an instrument or
instruments (in recordable form, if necessary) releasing the collateral pledge,
grant, assignment, lien and security interest in the IP Collateral.

SECTION 5. Counterparts. This Patent Security Agreement may be executed in any
number of counterparts, all of which shall constitute one and the same
instrument, and any party hereto may execute this Patent Security Agreement by
signing and delivering one or more counterparts.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

SECTION 6. Governing Law. This Patent Security Agreement and the transactions
contemplated hereby, and all disputes between the parties under or relating to
this Patent Security Agreement or the facts or circumstances leading to its
execution, whether in contract, tort or otherwise, shall be construed in
accordance with and governed by the laws (including statutes of limitation) of
the State of New York, without regard to conflicts of law principles that would
require the application of the laws of another jurisdiction.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Pledgor and the Recipient have caused this Patent
Security Agreement to be duly executed and delivered by their duly authorized
officer as of the date first set forth above.
