Each of 3LP, ParkerVision and McKool are referred to herein as a “Party” and, collectively, as the “Parties.”
		

		
			W I T N E S S I T H
		

		
			WHEREAS, under the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, ParkerVision wishes to engage 3LP to mange and direct ParkerVision’s Patent Licensing Operations (defined below); and 
		

		
			WHEREAS, McKool has agreed to provide reasonable support to 3LP in connection with 3LP’s  performance of the services provided for in this Agreement
		

		
			NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement and other good and valuable consideration (the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged), the Parties to this Agreement, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:
		

			
	
			
				 1.
			

			
	
			
			Engagement.  From the Effective Date of this Agreement through the end of the Term (as defined below), ParkerVision hereby engages 3LP to manage and direct ParkerVision’s Patent Licensing Operations (defined below) for and on behalf of ParkerVision.  For purposes of this Agreement “Patent Licensing Operations” means development and execution of ParkerVision’s patent licensing strategy and program with respect to all of ParkerVision’s patents as identified on Attachment A hereto (the “Patents”), including researching and profiling potential licensees, marketing and selling activities, negotiation of licenses and assisting ParkerVision with the settlement or other agreement for monetary or other financial consideration (including related license agreements) made with a counterparty in any patent litigation initiated by ParkerVision.   During the initial twelve (12) months of the Term  (together with any extensions thereof, the “Exclusive Period”), 3LP’s engagement hereunder shall be on an exclusive basis, but shall not preclude ParkerVision from conducting Patent Licensing Operations on its own behalf.  Prior to the expiration of the Exclusive Period, the Exclusive Period may be extended for additional recurring six (6) month or longer periods during the Term by written agreement between ParkerVision and 3LP.    Following expiration of the Exclusive Period, 3LP’s engagement hereunder shall be on a non-exclusive basis. 




			
	
			
				 2.
			

			
	
			
			3LP’s Performance.  3LP will use its reasonable best efforts to effectuate ParkerVision’s Patent Licensing Operations.  Such efforts shall include, but are not limited to, the following:




			
	
			
				 a.
			

			
	
			
			3LP has heretofore developed technical and marketing materials (“Data Room Materials”) that it reasonably believes will assist in marketing the Patents to potential licensees.   3LP will continue to maintain and update the Data Room Materials in cooperation with ParkerVision and McKool and will develop and incorporate any modifications to the Data 
		

		 


		

			1

		


		

			 

		






 


		

			 

		




			Room Materials reasonably requested by ParkerVision and McKool.  3LP will not use any Data Room Materials in conjunction with the Patent Licensing Operations or otherwise, unless authorized in advance by ParkerVision.




			
	
			
				 b.
			

			
	
			
			3LP has heretofore conducted market research to identify a target list of potential licensees (hereinafter “Targets”).  3LP will conduct further market research and maintain and update a list of Targets on an ongoing basis and will provide ParkerVision with a written Target status update report at least bi-weekly.  The Targets identified on Attachment B hereto (the “3LP Targets”) are Targets that ParkerVision and 3LP have agreed will be contacted by 3LP in connection with its engagement under this Agreement.  Attachment B hereto will be updated to add or delete 3LP Targets by written agreement between ParkerVision and 3LP.  ParkerVision and 3LP will endeavor to provide to the other Party decisions with respect to proposed changes to Attachment B as promptly as commercially practicable under the circumstances to help foster an efficient and responsive Patent Licensing Operation.




			
	
			
				 c.
			

			
	
			
			3LP will prepare correspondence and other solicitation materials (hereinafter “Marketing Materials”) for use in connection with its contacts with 3LP Targets and, subject to ParkerVision’s prior approval of the Marketing Materials (which approval shall be given as promptly as commercially practicable under the circumstances),  initiate contact with 3LP Targets for purposes of effectuating Patent Licensing Operations. 3LP will keep ParkerVision and McKool informed on a regular basis (and in any case within 24 hours) with respect to any proposals, bids, solicitations, indications of interest or offers (“Offers”) it receives from 3LP Targets, and any other material developments that occur in connection with the Patent Licensing Operations, including, but not limited to, the identity of the offeror and the terms of the Offer and/or substance of the discussions.




			
	
			
				 d.
			

			
	
			
			3LP will assist ParkerVision and McKool in the review and evaluation of Offers and negotiations with respect thereto.  3LP will also assist ParkerVision in drafting and negotiating license agreement terms and conditions. 3LP has no authority to bind ParkerVision in any way without ParkerVision’s prior written consent.




			
	
			
				 e.
			

			
	
			
			3LP will maintain sufficient professional and other staff to manage and direct Patent Licensing Operations.  Kevin Rivette (“Rivette”),  Mark Gober and one (1) of 3LP’s legal professionals will devote substantially all of their professional time and Mark Blaxill will devote approximately 50% of his professional time to Patent Licensing Operations, provided, however, that Rivette shall not be precluded from continuing to participate in general marketing of 3LP’s services and occasional advisory role engagements on behalf of 3LP clients provided that substantially all of his professional time is dedicated to Patent Licensing Operations. Partners of 3LP other than Rivette and Mark Blaxill may, from time-to-time provide services in support of Patent Licensing Operations if the provision of such services does not conflict with existing 3LP client services. In the event of such a conflict, such partners may recuse themselves upon notice to ParkerVision from performing any additional services.  In the event of a conflict of interest involving Rivette, Rivette will recuse himself from working with other 3LP clients in favor of ParkerVision.    Additionally, up to two (2) licensing professionals from 3LP will be assigned to work on Patent Licensing Operations and associate/analyst-level 3LP staff will be assigned to support 3LP’s work as necessary.  




			
	
			
				 f.
			

			
	
			
			3LP will be responsible for and shall bear the costs and expenses of its staff and related overhead incurred in connection with the performance of its services hereunder,  including 
		

		 


		

			2

		


		

			 

		






 


		

			 

		




			domestic travel related expenses, except that ParkerVision will promptly reimburse 3LP for one-half of 3LP’s  documented reasonable international travel related expenses that are pre-approved by ParkerVision.  3LP is not responsible for and ParkerVision will pay all costs and expenses with respect to third-party research reports, reverse engineering reports and services, outside litigation/legal services, or other direct costs which, in each case, will be contracted separately by ParkerVision and/or McKool.




			
	
			
				 g.
			

			
	
			
			3LP will assist ParkerVision in the development and ongoing updates of budgets and projections for Patent Licensing Operations.




			
	
			
				 h.
			

			
	
			
			No communications made by 3LP in conjunction with its services hereunder will contain any knowingly untrue statement of a material fact or knowingly omit any material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, 3LP shall have no liability with respect to the accuracy of information provided to it by ParkerVision or McKool in connection with 3LP’s services hereunder. 




			
	
			
				 3.
			

			
	
			
			ParkerVision’s and McKool’s Performance.




			
	
			
				 a.
			

			
	
			
			ParkerVision will designate a licensing team to support 3LP’s efforts.  The licensing team shall include one or more executive officers of ParkerVision, one or more technical experts with regard to ParkerVision’s patents and relevant markets and products, and legal support either internal to ParkerVision and/or separately engaged by ParkerVision, in each case, as determined in ParkerVision’s sole discretion.




			
	
			
				 b.
			

			
	
			
			ParkerVision has the sole and exclusive right to make all final decisions as to transactions, settlement and other events and costs and expenses relating to Patent Licensing Operations and ParkerVision will endeavor to provide such decisions to 3LP as promptly as commercially practicable under the circumstances to help 3LP foster an efficient and responsive Patent Licensing Operation.




			
	
			
				 c.
			

			
	
			
			ParkerVision will timely forward to 3LP all contact information and any other relevant information with respect to any Target that, prior to the Effective Date has communicated with, or during the Term does communicate with, ParkerVision regarding Patent Licensing Operations.




			
	
			
				 d.
			

			
	
			
			ParkerVision will contract separately with other parties as it deems, in its discretion, necessary,  to support the Patent Licensing Operations, including engaging engineers and attorneys.




			
	
			
				 e.
			

			
	
			
			ParkerVision will be responsible for and shall bear the costs and expenses of Patent Licensing Operations in accordance with budgets agreed to by 3LP and ParkerVision.  Such costs and expenses shall include, among other things, product tear down reports, market research reports, reverse engineering reports and services, external litigation/legal services, and external data room storage/maintenance costs. 




			
	
			
				 f.
			

			
	
			
			Upon request of ParkerVision, McKool will provide reasonable legal services to 3LP in support of 3LP’s services hereunder, including without limitation, reviewing and modifying any Offers and/or the Data Room Materials and other Marketing Materials developed by 3LP pursuant to this Agreement.  The cost of McKool’s services shall be the

			responsibility of and shall be borne by ParkerVision in accordance with separate arrangements between ParkerVision and McKool.




			
	
			
				 4.
			

			
	
			
			3LP Retainer.  Except as provided for herein, during the initial twelve (12) months of the Term (the “Initial Term”), ParkerVision will pay 3LP a monthly retainer of [*]  (the “Retainer Payment”).  The first Retainer Payment will be paid on the Effective Date of this Agreement with successive Retainer Payments payable the same calendar day (or, if such day is not a business day, the next following business day), of each successive month during the Initial Term, in each case, following ParkerVision’s receipt of 3LP’s monthly invoice.  Prior to the expiration of the Initial Term, ParkerVision and 3LP will review the services to be provided to ParkerVision by 3LP to determine if further payment of Retainer Payments is necessary to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement.  Any agreement to continue Retainer Payments, or any portion thereof, after the expiration of the Initial Term, shall be in writing.  The amount of the Retainer Payment may be increased or decreased at any time by written agreement between ParkerVision and 3LP. The cumulative amount of all Retainer Payments made under this Agreement shall be offset against any Success Fees (defined below), with the exception of the Retainer Payments for the first six (6) months following the Effective Date. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by ParkerVision and 3LP, ParkerVision’s obligation to pay Retainer Payments shall terminate when aggregate Success Fees paid or payable to 3LP exceed [*].




			
	
			
				 5.
			

			
	
			
			Success Fees.  ParkerVision will pay 3LP success fees for each of the following transactions (“Success Fees”):




			
	
			
				 a.
			

			
	
			
			Licensing Success Fees.   Subject to the provisions of this Section 5(a), ParkerVision will pay 3LP success fees (“Licensing Success Fees”) based on aggregate Net Licensing Revenues (defined below) actually received by ParkerVision from definitive patent license agreements between ParkerVision and Licensing Parties (defined below), relating to Patents, entered into during, or within [*] months following the expiration of, the Term (“License Agreements”).  The Licensing Success Fees  will be calculated as set forth on the following schedule:




			
					
						 

					
						Aggregate Net Licensing Revenues

					
					
						3LP Success Fee

					
						(% of Aggregate Net Licensing Revenues)

				
	
					
						[*]

					
					
						[*]

				
	
					
						[*]

					
					
						[*]

				
	
					
						[*]

					
					
						[*]

				



		
			“Net Licensing Revenues”  means Gross Amounts (defined below) paid to or received by ParkerVision in accordance with all License Agreements, less any direct costs and expenses paid by ParkerVision in connection with Patent Licensing Operations including, but not limited to,  costs incurred for reverse engineering reports, product tear down reports, and outside licensing related legal services,  but excluding any Retainer Payments, litigation related expenses and ParkerVision’s internal cost of operations such as employee wages and facilities and overhead costs (“Direct Licensing Costs”).
		

		
			“Gross Amounts” means the total of all consideration in any form actually paid to and/or 
		

		 


		

			4

		


		

			 

		




 


		

			 

		




		received by ParkerVision, including cash and/or securities paid to or for the benefit of ParkerVision, at any time and the reasonable economic value of all non-monetary consideration actually received by, or for the benefit of ParkerVision, at any time.  If ParkerVision receives compensation in the form of equity or other securities, 3LP will accept its 3LP Success Fee in these same securities in the same proportion ParkerVision receives such securities. For example, if ParkerVision receives compensation in the form of one-third cash and two-thirds equity securities, the 3LP Success Fee will also be paid in one-third cash and two-thirds equity securities.  With respect to the calculation of the fair market value of any non-cash consideration received by ParkerVision, ParkerVision and 3LP shall discuss in good faith how to determine such value.  In the event that ParkerVision and 3LP are unable to agree upon the fair market value determination, ParkerVision and 3LP agree to submit such matter to a neutral, independent third party mutually acceptable to both ParkerVision and 3LP to assist with such determination. 
		

		
			“Licensing Parties”  means: (i) any third-party licensee, with respect to License Agreements entered into during the Exclusive Period; or, (ii) if the Exclusive Period ends prior to the expiration of the Term, any 3LP Targets, with respect to License Agreements entered into during the period commencing at the expiration of the Exclusive Period and ending [*] months following the expiration of the Term.    
		

			
	
			
				 b.
			

			
	
			
			Sale Transaction Success Fees.  Subject to the provisions of this Section 5(b), ParkerVision will pay 3LP success fees (“Sale Transaction Success Fees”) based on aggregate Net Proceeds (defined below) actually received by ParkerVision from the sale of any or all of the Patents to one or more third-parties, including, without limitation, the sale of all or substantially all of the business assets of ParkerVision to a third party whether by merger, sale of assets, consolidation or otherwise (other than as contemplated by Section 17 hereof) (a “Sale of the Company”), in connection with which 3LP provides substantive assistance, that is consummated during, or within [*] months following the expiration of, the Term (“Sale Transactions”).  The Sale Transaction Success Fees will be calculated as set forth on the following schedule:




			
					
						 

					
						Aggregate Net Proceeds

					
					
						3LP Success Fee

					
						(% of Aggregate Net Proceeds) for 3LP Targets

					
					
						3LP Success Fee (% of Aggregate Net Proceeds) for Other Targets

				
	
					
						[*]

					
					
						[*]

					
					
						[*]

				
	
					
						[*]

					
					
						[*]

					
					
						[*]

				
	
					
						[*]

					
					
						[*]

					
					
						[*]

				



		
			 
		

		
			“Net Proceeds”  means Gross Amounts actually paid to or received by ParkerVision or its stockholders in connection with Sale Transactions, less any amounts paid or owed by ParkerVision to McKool, any other litigator and/or non-affiliated third-party licensing partners, and any other costs and fees paid or owed by ParkerVision to any other person or entity (including, without limitation, broker commissions and attorneys fees), in each case, in connection with Sale Transactions.
		

		
			 
		

		
			“Other Targets” means third parties other than 3LP Targets.
		

		

		

		 


		

			5

		


		

			 

		




 


		

			 

		




		 
		

		
			Sale Transaction Success Fees will be calculated separately for Sale Transactions involving 3LP Targets and for Sale Transactions involving Other Targets.  For example, if aggregate Net Proceeds from two (2) Sale Transactions involving 3LP Targets equals [*] and if aggregate Net Proceeds from three (3) Sale Transactions involving Other Targets equals [*], ParkerVision will pay to 3LP: [*].
		

			
	
			
				 c.
			

			
	
			
			Settlement Success Fee.  Subject to the provisions of this Section 5(c), ParkerVision will pay 3LP success fees (“Settlement Success Fees”) based on the aggregate Net Settlement Amounts (defined below) actually received by ParkerVision from any settlement of patent litigation initiated by ParkerVision against one or more third-parties (“Settlements”), which Settlement is consummated during, or within [*] months following the expiration of, the Term (other than those provided for in Section 5(d) hereof). The Settlement Success Fees will be calculated as set forth on the following table:




			
					
						 

					
						Aggregate Net Settlement Amounts

					
					
						3LP Success Fee

					
						(% of Aggregate Net Settlement Amounts)  

				
	
					
						[*]

					
					
						[*]

				
	
					
						[*]

					
					
						[*]

				
	
					
						[*]

					
					
						[*]

				



		
			 
		

		
			“Net Settlement Amounts ”  means Gross Amounts paid to or received by ParkerVision in connection with Settlements (“Gross Settlement Amounts”), less (i) with respect to Settlements occurring before a  Final District Court Decision (defined below),  any costs and fees, including Direct Licensing Costs, outside legal fees, including contingency fees (up to a maximum of [*] of the Gross Settlement Amount),  paid or owed by ParkerVision to any other person or entity necessarily incurred as part of the litigation,  or (ii) with respect to Settlements occurring after a Final District Court Decision, the amount of the Final District Court Decision award (“Award Amount”), including past damages, interest, the value of compulsory royalties (calculated in accordance with Section 5(e)),  litigation costs and expenses incurred after the Final District Court Decision, including any legal contingency fees, paid or owed on the amount by which the Gross Settlement Amount exceeds the Award Amount.  For the sake of clarity, in the event that the Net Settlement Amount from a Settlement is less than the Award Amount, there shall be no Settlement Success Fee payable to 3LP with respect to that Settlement.
		

		
			 
		

		
			For the sake of clarity, in calculating the Net Settlement Amounts, Direct Licensing Costs shall only be deducted from the Gross Settlement Amounts to the extent that Direct Licensing Costs have not been previously deducted from Net Licensing Revenues in calculating 3LP Licensing Success Fees in accordance with Section 5(a). Any Direct Licensing Costs deducted from the Net Settlement Amounts pursuant to this Section 5(c) shall be excluded from Direct Licensing Costs for purposes of Section 5(a).    Also, if a Settlement pursuant to this Section 5(c) includes a patent license, the portion of the Success Fee payable to 3LP in respect of such license shall be calculated in accordance with this Section 5(c) and not Section 5(a) hereof.
		

		
			 
		

		

		

		 


		

			6

		


		

			 

		




 


		

			 

		




		 
		

		
			“Final District Court Decision” means a  damages judgment entered by a district court or other court or government agency.  If a Settlement with a third-party relates to more than one (1) patent litigation, Final District Court Decision shall mean the judgment entered by a district court or other court or government agency with respect to the first in time patent litigation initiated by ParkerVision against such third-party.
		

			
	
			
				 d.
			

			
	
			
			Other Success Fee.  Subject to the provisions of this Section 5(d), ParkerVision will pay 3LP a  success fee (“Other Success Fee”) based on Net Settlement Amounts actually received by ParkerVision from any Settlement consummated during the Term with the defendant in ParkerVision’s patent litigation existing as of the Effective Date (“Other Settlements”).  The Other Success Fee for such Settlement will be calculated with respect to a  Pre-Final District Court Decision,  Pre-Appeal Decision or Post Appeal Decision (each as defined below), as appropriate, as set forth on the following table: 




		
			[*]
		

		
			 
		

		
			“Pre-Final District Court Decision”  means an Other Settlement occurring during the Term and prior to a Final District Court Decision.  
		

		
			 
		

		
			“Pre-Appeal Decision” means an Other Settlement occurring during the Term and after a Final District Court Decision and before a decision by a  Federal Appellate Court.
		

		
			 
		

		
			“Post-Appeal Decision” means an Other Settlement occurring during the Term and following a decision by the Federal Appellate Court (regardless of whether the appellate court decision results in additional trials and/or appeals).
		

		
			 
		

		
			For the sake of clarity, with respect an Other Settlement occurring after the Final District Court Decision, if the settlement amount is less than the Award Amount, there shall be no Other Success Fee payable to 3LP with respect to that Other Settlement.  Also, if a Settlement pursuant to this Section 5(d) includes a patent license, the portion of the Success Fee payable to 3LP in respect of such license shall be calculated in accordance with this Section 5(d) and not Section 5(a) hereof.
		

			
	
			
				 e.
			

			
	
			
			If compulsory royalties are included in a  Final District Court Decision, ParkerVision will determine the value of compulsory royalties based on the net present value of a three (3) year royalty stream using the royalty rate assessed by the court in its Final District Court Decision multiplied by an estimate of annual infringing shipments which shall be determined based on the most recent infringing shipment information available in the court documents (i.e., last twelve (12) month infringing shipments included in the damages report), and a discount rate of [*].     




			
	
			
				 f.
			

			
	
			
			ParkerVision will pay 3LP all or such portion of any 3LP Success Fee, as the case may be, within thirty (30) days following ParkerVision’s receipt of all or such portion of the consideration from the applicable event upon which the applicable Success Fee was earned.  The amount of deductions or exclusions used in calculating Net Licensing Revenues, Net Proceeds or Net Settlement Amounts, if not available within thirty (30) days following ParkerVision’s receipt of applicable consideration, shall be estimated in good faith by ParkerVision for purposes of calculating the applicable Success Fee.  Any Retainer Payments made to 3LP under this Agreement, with the exception of Retainer Payments 
		

		 


		

			7

		


		

			 

		






 


		

			 

		




			made during the first six (6) months of the Term, will be considered prepayments of and offset against Success Fee payments.  On a quarterly basis, within fifteen (15) days following ParkerVision’s filing of its quarterly financial statements, ParkerVision will provide 3LP with a final calculation of any Success Fees earned and remit to 3LP any additional amounts payable as a result of differences between the estimated and final calculations.  To the extent the final calculation results in an overpayment to 3LP, ParkerVision shall deduct such overpayment from future Retainer Payments and future Success Fees, provided that, if no such deductions occur before the expiration of the Term, 3LP shall immediately thereafter reimburse such overpayments to ParkerVision.




			
	
			
				 g.
			

			
	
			
			The Parties agree that under no circumstances will the existence of any Patent license or any litigation relating to a Patent preclude or inhibit ParkerVision from selling any Patents or conducting a Sale of the Company.




			
	
			
				 6.
			

			
	
			
			Audit and Verification.  




			
	
			
				 a.
			

			
	
			
			ParkerVision will keep accurate books and records with respect to all Net Licensing Revenues, Net Proceeds and Net Settlement Amounts.




			
	
			
				 b.
			

			
	
			
			ParkerVision will keep records regarding each payment to be made pursuant to this Agreement for three (3) full years following the submission of each such payment to 3LP.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any documentation required to support ParkerVision’s tax matters shall be retained for at least the applicable tax statute of limitations.




			
	
			
				 c.
			

			
	
			
			ParkerVision will permit its books and records, to the extent related to the amounts payable to 3LP under this Agreement, to be examined once during each calendar year upon reasonable notice during regular business hours at the location at which such books and records are usually kept by an independent auditor selected and paid for by 3LP, subject to the execution by such auditor of a reasonable confidentiality agreement.  ParkerVision will render reasonable cooperation in the conduct of such audit.  Such independent auditor will not disclose to 3LP any information other than relating solely to the correctness of, or the necessity for, the payments to be made pursuant to this Agreement.




			
	
			
				 7.
			

			
	
			
			Term.




			
	
			
				 a.
			

			
	
			
			The term of this Agreement (the “Term”) will commence as of the Effective Date and will continue for a period of three (3) years, unless extended pursuant to Section 7(b) hereof or terminated pursuant to Section 8 hereof.




			
	
			
				 b.
			

			
	
			
			No less than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the Term, or any subsequent extension of the Term, ParkerVision may elect to extend the Term for an additional period of not less than one (1) year by so notifying 3LP and McKool and, upon 3LP’s and McKool’s consent (not to be unreasonably withheld) the Term shall be so extended.  If ParkerVision does not elect to extend the Term, then this Agreement will expire at the end of the Term.

			Termination.




			
	
			
				 a.
			

			
	
			
			Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, either ParkerVision or 3LP may immediately terminate this Agreement, for material breaches by the other Party that are not cured in the manner specified in Section 8(b) hereof.  




			
	
			
				 b.
			

			
	
			
			If either ParkerVision or 3LP (the “Breaching Party”) commits either (i) a material breach of its obligations under this Agreement or (ii) an act of willful misconduct or gross negligence (including gross neglect of duties hereunder) which, in either case, has resulted or is likely to result in material economic damage to the other Party (a “material breach”), the other Party (the “Non-Breaching Party”) may provide written notice to the Breaching Party setting forth an explanation in reasonable detail of such material breach.  If the material breach is of a nature that is curable, the Breaching Party shall have thirty (30) days to discontinue such material breach (“Cure Period”).  If the Breaching Party fails to discontinue such material breach within the Cure Period, or if the breach is of a nature that is not curable, then the Non-Breaching Party may immediately terminate this Agreement by providing written notice of termination to the Breaching Party.




			
	
			
				 c.
			

			
	
			
			Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, ParkerVision may elect to terminate this Agreement on thirty (30) days written notice to 3LP if at any time during the Term Rivette does not, is unable to, or is unavailable to, devote substantially all of his professional time to Patent Licensing Operations, including, without limitation, by reason of Rivette’s death or disability or the termination of his employment with 3LP.




			
	
			
				 d.
			

			
	
			
			Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, this Agreement, including the payment obligations arising under Section 5 hereof, will terminate upon the consummation of a Sale of the Company (except with respect to (i) Sale Transaction Success Fees payable to 3LP under Section 5(b) as a result of such Sale of the Company) ; or (ii) any Licensing Success Fees payable to 3LP under Section 5(a) with respect to any License Agreements that are not assigned or otherwise transferred to the third party in connection with a Sale of the Company; and provided that if ParkerVision creates a separate licensing entity for tax or other purposes pursuant to Section 17 below which is not acquired or otherwise transferred to the third party pursuant to the Sale of the Company, then the Agreement shall not terminate pursuant to this Section upon the consummation of the Sale of the Company.




			
	
			
				 e.
			

			
	
			
			All payment obligations arising under Section 5 hereof will survive any expiration or termination of this Agreement, other than termination of this Agreement by ParkerVision in accordance with Section 8(b) hereof or a termination in accordance with Section 8(d) hereof.  




			
	
			
				 f.
			

			
	
			
			The following sections of this Agreement will survive any expiration or termination of this Agreement:  Sections 6, 9, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 and 20.

			including copies, extracts, reproductions, emails and their attachments, and summaries; or (ii) destroy all written or tangible Confidential Information provided by ParkerVision to 3LP, including copies, extracts, reproductions, emails and their attachments, and summaries, and provide written confirmation to ParkerVision.  3LP shall, if requested by ParkerVision, provide a written description of the steps it took to ensure that ParkerVision’s Confidential Information was either returned or destroyed consistent with the provisions of this section.




			
	
			
				 b.
			

			
	
			
			Notwithstanding the foregoing, 3LP may retain one (1) archive copy of Data Room Materials and Marketing Materials, as required by law, which shall be retained on behalf of 3LP at the offices of ParkerVision.




			
	
			
				 c.

				 20.
			

			
	
			
			Miscellaneous.   This Agreement represents the entire agreement between or among the Parties relating to the subject matter hereof and replaces any prior agreements or understandings, including the letter agreement, dated as of March 16, 2012, between ParkerVision and 3LP and the Patent Monetization Agreement, dated as of October 29, 2012, by and among the Parties. No waiver, amendment or modification of this Agreement shall be valid unless in writing signed by each Party.  Each Party is an independent contractor, and except as expressly set forth herein, this Agreement will not establish any relationship of partnership, joint venture, employment, franchise, agency or any fiduciary relationship or other form of legal association between 3LP, McKool and ParkerVision, and neither 3LP, McKool nor ParkerVision will have the power to bind the other or incur obligations on the other’s behalf without the other’s separate and specific prior written consent.  No Party is responsible for failure to fulfill any obligations due to causes beyond its control, except that in no event will this provision affect ParkerVision’s obligation to make timely payments under the Agreement. Failure by any Party to enforce any provision of this Agreement will not be deemed a waiver of future enforcement of that or any other provision.  If any provision in this Agreement is determined in any proceeding binding upon the Parties to be invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be deemed severed from the remainder of the Agreement, and the remaining provisions of the Agreement will continue in full force and effect.  This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts made and to be performed entirely within that state without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule that would cause the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction.  All disputes arising out of this Agreement shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and Federal courts located in New York, New York, and the Parties agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction and venue of these courts.  Notwithstanding the foregoing in this Section 20, a Party may commence any action, claim, cause of action, or suit in a court other than the above-named courts solely for the purpose of enforcing an order or judgment issued by one of the above-named courts.  The terms and conditions of this Agreement shall bind and inure to each party’s successors and assigns, provided that 3LP may not assign this Agreement without ParkerVision’s written consent.  All legal notices required hereunder shall be in writing sent to the chief executive officer or managing partner of the other Parties at the address listed for such Party on the first page of this Agreement, and such notices shall be deemed served when received by the addressee or, if delivery is not accomplished by reason of some fault of the addressee, when tendered for delivery.  This Agreement may be signed in counterparts and by facsimile, each of which will constitute and original.
