or used by QUALCOMM, or any confusingly similar mark.

which such Subscriber Units are intended to be used and that LICENSEE shall
comply with the rules, regulations or other requirements set by such authorized
standards body.  LICENSEE shall, at
QUALCOMM’s reasonable written request, permit QUALCOMM or entities designated
by QUALCOMM and accepted by LICENSEE, which acceptance shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed, to perform tests of LICENSEE’s Subscriber
Units to ensure compliance and conformity with the applicable CAI.  If such tests indicate material noncompliance
or nonconformity therewith, such tests shall be at LICENSEE’s cost and LICENSEE
shall reimburse QUALCOMM for any such reasonable tests performed by QUALCOMM at
QUALCOMM’s then standard rates for such services; provided that the total fees
for each such test performed shall not exceed [***] for each test.  Nonconforming Subscriber Units, if any, shall
not be sold or marketed by LICENSEE until the non-conformity is corrected.

authorized in this Agreement; and (b) shall, together with any full or
partial copies thereof, be returned or destroyed when no longer needed or upon
any termination of this Agreement, and (c) shall be disclosed only to
employees or agents of a Party with a need to know. Moreover, such Information
shall be used by the receiving Party only for the purpose of performing under
this Agreement or in the exercise of its rights it may receive under the
provisions of this Agreement.  Unless the
furnishing Party consents in this Agreement or otherwise in writing, such
Information shall be held in strict confidence by the receiving Party.  The receiving Party may disclose such Information
to other persons, upon the furnishing Party’s prior written authorization, but
solely to perform acts which this clause expressly authorizes the receiving
Party to perform itself and further provided such other person agrees in
writing (a copy of which writing will be provided to the furnishing Party at
its request) to the same conditions respecting use of Information contained in
this clause and to any other reasonable conditions requested by the furnishing
Party.  These restrictions on the use or
disclosure of Information shall not apply to any Information:  (i) which can be proven to be or have been
independently developed by the receiving Party or lawfully received free of
restriction from another source having the right to so furnish such Information;
or (ii) after it has become generally known to the public without breach of
this Agreement by the receiving Party; or (iii) which at the time of
disclosure to the receiving Party was known to such Party free of restriction
and clearly evidenced by documentation in such Party’s possession; or (iv)
which the disclosing Party agrees in writing is free of such restrictions; or
(v) which is the subject of a subpoena or other legal or administrative demand
for disclosure or is disclosed in response to a valid order of a court or other
governmental body, but only to the extent of and for the purposes of such
demand or order; provided, however, that such receiving Party shall first
notify the furnishing Party in writing of the demand or order and permit and cooperate
with the furnishing party in seeking an appropriate protective order (or an
equivalent mechanism for protecting such Information in the relevant
jurisdictions).

 

10.2                           Scope of Information.  Information is subject to this
Section 10 whether delivered orally or in tangible form and without regard
to whether it has been identified or marked as confidential or otherwise
subject to this Section 10.  Each
Party agrees to use its best efforts to mark or otherwise identify proprietary
all Information they desire to be subject to the terms of this clause before
furnishing it to the other Party.  And,
upon request, a Party shall promptly identify whether specified information
must be held by the requesting Party subject to this clause.

 

10.3                           Furnishing Information to Third Parties. 
Nothing herein shall be deemed to bar disclosure of Information by a
receiving Party to third parties, with written consent of the furnishing Party,
if such disclosure is reasonably necessary for enjoyment of the disclosing
Party’s rights to use Intellectual Property Rights licensed under this
Agreement, and provided that each such third party agrees in writing to protect
the Information under terms and conditions comparable, in all material
respects, to the terms contained in this Section 10 and Section 18
with respect to survivability.

securing of any patent or the maintaining of any patent in force; (b) a
warranty or representation by either Party as to the validity or scope of any
patent, copyright or other intellectual property right; (c) a warranty or

13.1                           Termination For Cause by QUALCOMM. 
QUALCOMM may terminate this Agreement, by written notice to LICENSEE, if
LICENSEE shall at any time default in the payment hereunder or the making of
any report hereunder, or shall commit any material breach of any covenant,
representation, warranty or agreement herein contained, or shall make any false
report to QUALCOMM; provided, however, that in the case of any such breach
which is capable of being cured, QUALCOMM shall not have a right to terminate
this Agreement for cause unless and until LICENSEE shall have failed to remedy
any such default, breach or report within thirty (30) days after written notice
thereof by QUALCOMM.  LICENSEE shall be
able to effectuate such cure with respect to a default in the making of any
report or payment of any amounts due hereunder no more than three times during
the term of his Agreement.  Upon
termination of this Agreement for cause, LICENSEE shall duly account to
QUALCOMM for all royalties and other payments within ten days of such
termination.

 

13.2                           Termination For Cause by LICENSEE.

QUALCOMM shall commit any material breach of any material covenant,

13.5                           Rights Upon Termination. 
Upon any termination of this Agreement all licenses granted by QUALCOMM
hereunder shall also terminate and LICENSEE shall immediately cease using any
of QUALCOMM’s Intellectual Property and return or destroy all information and
documentation furnished by QUALCOMM to LICENSEE. The licenses granted by
LICENSEE hereunder shall survive the termination of this Agreement and remain
in full force and effect thereafter until all of LICENSEE’s Intellectual
Property has expired; except that, upon termination of this Agreement by
LICENSEE for cause, all licenses granted by LICENSEE hereunder shall also
terminate and QUALCOMM shall immediately cease using any of LICENSEE’s
Intellectual Property.  Any termination
or expiration of this Agreement under this Section 13 shall not relieve
LICENSEE from its obligation under Section 14 hereof to make a report or
from its liability for payment of royalties on Subscriber Units Sold on or
prior to the date of such termination and shall not prejudice the right to
recover the full amount of the Up-Front License Fee and any royalties or other
sums due or accrued at the time of such termination and shall not prejudice any
cause of action or claim accrued or to accrue on account of any breach or
default.  Furthermore, any termination of
this Agreement under this Section shall not prejudice the right of
QUALCOMM to conduct a final audit of the records of LICENSEE in accordance with
the provisions of Section 14 hereof. 
No termination hereunder shall limit the rights of LICENSEE to sell
those Subscriber Units in inventory or in process at the time of termination,
subject to payment of the royalty applicable to the sale of such Subscriber
Units and continued compliance with the other provisions of this Agreement.

 

14.                                 RECORDS AND AUDITS.

 

14.1                           Records. LICENSEE
shall keep accurate and complete books and records concerning any Subscriber
Units it may sell, under this Agreement. 
As applicable, such books and records shall include the date of
transaction involving sales of Subscriber Units, including the number of items
Sold.  LICENSEE shall require in its
agreements with sublicensees that each sublicensee agree to record keeping and
audits substantially the same as described in this Section 14.  LICENSEE hereby agrees to conduct periodic
audits of its sublicensees as requested by QUALCOMM.  The results of such audits (together with all
supporting information) shall be included in the records described herein and
subject to audit by QUALCOMM as provided in this Section.  QUALCOMM shall be an intended third party
beneficiary of LICENSEE’s rights of audit with respect to its sublicensees,
with all proper authority to enforce such rights directly against any such
sublicensee.  LICENSEE’s agreements with
its sublicensees shall expressly state these third party beneficiary
rights.  LICENSEE shall furnish QUALCOMM
within thirty (30) days after the end of each calendar quarter a certificate,
in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, signed by a responsible official
of LICENSEE showing the transactions and corresponding amounts during said
calendar quarter and any other information as may be reasonably requested by
QUALCOMM.

 

15

 

14.2                           Audits.  QUALCOMM may, no more than once each calendar
year, conduct (itself and/or through its agent) an audit on reasonable notice
of LICENSEE’s applicable books and records to confirm that LICENSEE has not
underpaid the royalties due to QUALCOMM in fulfilling LICENSEE’s obligations
under the terms and conditions set forth in Section 5.2 above. QUALCOMM’s
written notice to LICENSEE of QUALCOMM’s intention to audit LICENSEE’s books
and records shall include a proposed commencement date for such audit, such
proposed commencement date to be no earlier than thirty (30) days after
the date of such notice.  LICENSEE agrees
to allow the audit to commence no later than thirty (30) days after QUALCOMM’s
proposed audit commencement date. 
LICENSEE further agrees to have assembled in a single location the
necessary books and records for such audit to be carried out and shall make
available such personnel as are reasonably necessary to interpret and explain
such books and records.  The cost of such
audit shall be borne by QUALCOMM, other than LICENSEE’s cost of providing its
books, records and personnel, unless such audit determines that the LICENSEE
has underpaid the royalties due hereunder by [***]; in which case, LICENSEE
shall, in addition to paying the deficiency plus late payment charges, pay the
cost of such audit. LICENSEE shall preserve and maintain all such books and
records required for audit for a period of five (5) years after the
calendar quarter for which the books and records apply.

 

15.                                 ASSIGNMENT.

 

Except
as provided in this clause, LICENSEE shall not assign this Agreement or any
right or interest under this Agreement, nor delegate any work or obligation to
be performed under this Agreement (an ”assignment”),
without QUALCOMM’s prior written consent, which consent shall be at QUALCOMM’s
sole discretion.  Any attempted
assignment in contravention of this Section 15 shall be void and
ineffective.  For purposes of this Agreement,
an ”assignment” by LICENSEE under this
Section shall be deemed to include, without limitation, the
following:  (a) a change in the
beneficial ownership of LICENSEE of greater than fifty percent (50%) (whether
in a single transaction or a series of related transactions) if LICENSEE is a
partnership, trust, limited liability company or other like entity;
(b) the acquisition of more than fifty percent (50%) of any class of
LICENSEE’s voting stock (or any class of non-voting security convertible into
voting stock) by a third party (whether in a single transaction or series of
related transactions) resulting in an effective change of control of LICENSEE;
or (c) the sale of more than fifty percent (50%) of LICENSEE’s assets
(whether in a single transaction, or series of related transactions).

 

16.                                 COMPLIANCE WITH U.S. REGULATIONS.

 

Nothing
contained in this Agreement shall require or permit LICENSEE or QUALCOMM to do
any act inconsistent with the requirements of (a) the regulations of the United
States Department of Commerce, or (b) the foreign assets controls or foreign
transactions controls regulations of the United States Treasury Department, or
(c) of any similar United States law, regulation or executive order as the same
may be in effect from time to time.  To
enable QUALCOMM to export QUALCOMM’s Intellectual Properly or technical data to
LICENSEE in compliance with the requirements of the Export Administration
Regulations (EAR), LICENSEE hereby gives its assurance to QUALCOMM that
LICENSEE will not re-export or otherwise disclose, directly or indirectly, any
of QUALCOMM’s Intellectual Property or “technical data” received from QUALCOMM,

The
Parties’ rights and obligations which, by their nature, would continue beyond

22.                                 PUBLICATION OF AGREEMENT.

 

Except
as may otherwise be required by law or as reasonably necessary for performance
hereunder, each Party shall keep this Agreement and its provisions
confidential, and shall not disclose this Agreement or its provisions without
first obtaining the written consent of the other Party, which consent shall not
be unreasonably withheld.  The
confidentiality obligations hereunder do not apply to the existence of this
Agreement or the fact that QUALCOMM and LICENSEE have executed this Agreement,
but do apply to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.  Any press release or other announcement by
either Party concerning the entering into of this Agreement shall be subject to
the prior written approval of other Party, which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld.  In case a press
release or other public announcement to the effect of the Parties’ entering
into of this Agreement is issued by either Party pursuant to the preceding
sentence, (i) QUALCOMM may thereafter make a press release or other public
announcement to the effect that LICENSEE is one of QUALCOMM’S licensees for
Subscriber Units without prior written approval of LICENSEE and (ii) LICENSEE
may

 

18

 

thereafter make a press release or
other public announcement to the effect that LICENSEE is licensed by QUALCOMM

satisfaction of all Losses incurred by the Purchaser Indemnified Parties.  To the extent the Purchaser offsets any of
the Holdback Amount to cover any Losses pursuant to Section 2.07, 3R, Dr.
Jang or the Seller shall not be required to indemnify the Purchaser Indemnified
Party pursuant to this Section 9.02 for such Losses previously covered by
such offset of the Holdback Amount.

 

SECTION 9.03.  Indemnification by the Purchaser.  The Seller and its Affiliates, officers,
directors, employees, agents, successors and assigns (each a ”Seller
Indemnified Party”) shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Purchaser
for and against any and all Losses, arising out of or resulting from:

 

(a)                                  the
breach of any representation or warranty made by the Purchaser contained in the
Acquisition Documents;

 

(b)                                 the
breach of any covenant or agreement by the Purchaser contained in the
Acquisition Documents; or

 

(c)                                  any
and all Losses suffered or incurred by the Seller or its Affiliates after the
Closing by reason of or in connection with any claim or cause of action of
Motorola Inc. arising out of the Purchaser’s use of the Purchased Assets after
the Closing.

 

To the extent that the Purchaser’s undertakings set
forth in this Section 9.03 may be unenforceable, the Purchaser shall
contribute the maximum amount that it is permitted to contribute under
applicable Law to the payment and satisfaction of all Losses incurred by the
Seller Indemnified Parties.

 

SECTION 9.04.  Notice of Loss; Third Party Claims.  (a)  An Indemnified Party shall
give the Indemnifying Party notice of any matter which an Indemnified Party has
determined has given or could give rise to a right of indemnification under
this Agreement, within 60 days of such determination stating the amount of the
Loss, if known, and method of computation thereof, and containing a reference
to the provisions of this Agreement in respect of which such right of
indemnification is claimed or arises; provided that with respect to any
indemnification arising out of Section 9.02(a) or 9.03(a), other than such
indemnification arising out of breach of representations and warranties made
pursuant to Section 3.14, such notice shall be given no later than 30 days
after the second anniversary of the Closing Date.

 

40

 

(b)                                 If
an Indemnified Party shall receive notice of any Action, audit, demand or
assessment (each, a ”Third Party Claim”) against it or which may
give rise to a claim for Loss under this Article IX, within 30 days of the
receipt of such notice, the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party
notice of such Third Party Claim; provided, however, that the
failure to provide such notice shall not release the Indemnifying Party from
any of its obligations under this Article IX except to the extent that the
Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure and shall not
relieve the Indemnifying Party from any other obligation or Liability that it
may have to any Indemnified Party otherwise than under this
Article IX.  If the Indemnifying
Party demonstrates, to the reasonable satisfaction of the Indemnified Party,
the financial capability of the Indemnifying Party to indemnify the Indemnified
Party hereunder against any Losses that may result from such Third Party Claim,
then the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to assume and control the defense
of such Third Party Claim at its expense and through counsel of its choice if
it gives notice of its intention to do so to the Indemnified Party within five
days of the receipt of such notice from the Indemnified Party; provided,
however, that if there exists or is reasonably likely to exist a
conflict of interest that would make it inappropriate in the reasonable
judgment of the Indemnified Party for the same counsel to represent both the
Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, then the Indemnified Party shall
be entitled to retain its own counsel in each jurisdiction for which the
Indemnified Party determines counsel is required, at the expense of the
Indemnifying Party; provided, further, that if (i) the
Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party cannot come to an agreement as to
the obligation of the Indemnifying Party to indemnify the Indemnified Party
against any and all Losses that may result from such Third Party Claim within 6
months from the date the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of such Third
Party Claim or (ii) the Indemnified Party reasonably believes that the
Indemnifying Party is not diligently defending such Third Party Claim, then the
Indemnified Party shall be entitled to assume and control the defense of such
Third Party Claim.  In the event that
the Indemnifying Party exercises the right to undertake any such defense
against any such Third Party Claim as provided above, the Indemnified Party
shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in such defense and make available
to the Indemnifying Party, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, all witnesses,
pertinent records, materials and information in the Indemnified Party’s
possession or under the Indemnified Party’s control relating thereto as is
reasonably required by the Indemnifying Party. 
Similarly, in the event the Indemnified Party is, directly or
indirectly, conducting the defense against any such Third Party Claim, the
Indemnifying Party shall cooperate with the Indemnified Party in such defense
and make available to the Indemnified Party, at the Indemnifying Party’s
expense, all such witnesses, records, materials and information in the
Indemnifying Party’s possession or under the Indemnifying Party’s control
relating thereto as is reasonably required by the Indemnified Party.  No such Third Party Claim may be settled by
the Indemnifying Party without the prior written consent of the Indemnified
Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

 

SECTION 9.05.  Limitations on Liability.  (a) 
In no event will any party be liable to the other, pursuant to this
Article IX or otherwise, for [***].

 

(b)                                 In
no event will the aggregate liability of the Seller, 3R and Dr. Jang, on the
one hand, and the Purchaser, on the other hand, pursuant to this
Article IX, with respect to its or their, as the case may be,
representations and warranties exceed U.S. $[***].

 

41

 

(c)                                  Notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall any Indemnified
Party recover, by claim for indemnification or otherwise, any Losses until the aggregate
of all Losses recoverable by any Indemnified Party exceeds U.S. $[***], in
which event the full amount of all Losses shall be recoverable by any
Indemnified Party in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

 

SECTION 9.06.  Exclusivity.  The remedies set forth in Section 2.07
and this Article IX are the exclusive remedies, pursuant to this Agreement
or otherwise, for any breach of any representation or warranty by any party in
or pursuant to this Agreement.

 

SECTION 9.07.  Knowing Fraud.  Nothing in Section 9.05 or 9.06 shall
be a defense to any claim otherwise assertable against any Person for such
Person’s own knowing fraud.

 

SECTION 9.08.  Tax Treatment.  (a) 
The Seller and the Purchaser agree that all payments made by any of the
Seller, 3R and Dr. Jang on the one hand and the Purchaser on the other hand to
or for the benefit of the other under this Article IX, under other
indemnity provisions of this Agreement and for any misrepresentations or
breaches of warranties or covenants shall be treated as adjustments to the
Purchase Price for Tax purposes and that such treatment shall govern for
purposes hereof except to the extent that the Laws of a particular jurisdiction
provide otherwise, in which case such payments shall be made in an amount sufficient
to indemnify the relevant party on an after-Tax basis.

(c)                                  by
either the Seller or the Purchaser if the Closing shall not have occurred within 90 days from the date hereof;
provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement
under this Section 10.01(c) shall not be available to any party whose
failure to fulfill any obligation under this Agreement shall have been the
cause of, or shall have resulted in, the failure of the Closing to occur on or
prior to such date;

 

(d)                                 by
either the Seller or the Purchaser in the event that any Governmental Authority

restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement and such order, decree, ruling or other action shall have
become final and nonappealable; or

 

(e)                                  by

an instrument in writing signed by the party to be bound thereby.  Any waiver of any term or condition shall
not be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach or a subsequent waiver of
the same term or condition, or a waiver of any other term or condition of this
Agreement.  The failure of any party
hereto to assert any of its rights hereunder shall not constitute a waiver of
any of such rights.  Other than as
specified in Sections 9.06 and 9.07, all rights and remedies existing
under this Agreement are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or
remedies otherwise available.

Re:                               Creditor
Consent

 

We write this
letter agreement to Hyundai Syscomm, Inc. (“HSI”) and UTStarcom, Inc. (“UTSI”)
in respect of all of the outstanding loans and obligations owed by HSI to the
undersigned creditor and to provide to HSI and UTSI our consent to the terms of
the transactions contemplated by the APA (as defined below).  Reference is made hereby to the Asset
Purchase Agreement (the “APA”) dated as of February 26, 2004 by and among HSI,
UTSI, 3R Inc. and Dr. Seong-Ik Jang and to the previously-executed
Non-Disclosure and Confidentiality Agreement (the “NDA”) by and between HSI and
the undersigned creditor.  All
capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed
to them in the APA and the NDA.

 

We understand the following to be true:

 

1.                                       UTSI
and HSI have entered into the APA and the APA contemplates that certain
intellectual property of HSI (the “Assets”), including but not limited to
patents, software license agreements, copyrights, etc., will be sold by HSI to
UTSI or a subsidiary of UTSI.  The
purchase price for the Assets will be approximately U.S. $[***] plus a
contingent additional U.S. $[***] (the “Purchase Price”); the APA also provides
for a training agreement under which HSI can earn an additional U.S.$[***]
following the closing.

 

2.                                       The
undersigned creditor and HSI have entered into the NDA; and

 

3.                                       A
representative of HSI has given a presentation (the “Presentation”) to the
undersigned creditor regarding the APA, the transactions contemplated by the
APA (including but not limited to the sale and purchase of the Assets, the
license back arrangement by and between UTSI and HSI subsequent to the
completion of the sale and purchase of the Assets (the “License Agreement”) and
the training services arrangement and payment for such services as provided in
Section 5.09 of the APA), the Purchase Price, the condition

 

B-1

 

(financial, liquidity and
otherwise) and prospects of HSI (the “Financial Condition”) and the use of the
proceeds (including but not limited to the repayment of HSI’s creditors) of the
sale of the Assets by HSI as set forth in Section 2.03(a) and (d) of the APA
(the “Use of Proceeds”).

 

We, in connection with
the foregoing, hereby acknowledge and agree as follows:

 

1.                                       The
undersigned creditor has informed itself to the extent it deems necessary and
advisable for the purpose of this letter agreement, the contents of the APA,

GRANT TO HSI

 

2.1                                 LICENSE
GRANT

 

As of the Closing Date and subject to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement, Licensor hereby grants to HSI:

 

(a)                                  for
the period of four (4) years from the Closing Date (“Initial Term”),
exclusive (including to the exclusion of Licensor) within the Territory, non-transferable
(except as permitted under Section 10.12 of this Agreement), right and
license under and to the Licensed Intellectual Property to copy and use any
such Licensed Intellectual Property to make, have made, use, sell, lease and
otherwise dispose of or commercially exploit products or services in the
Business using or containing the Licensed Intellectual Property, provided that
such products or services are solely used within the Territory (as such phrase
is hereinafter defined).  For purpose of
clarity, during the Initial Term, products that are made with the Licensed
Intellectual Property cannot be sold or distributed (i) by HSI (or any of
its successors or licensees or HSI Affiliates) outside the Territory or
(ii) by Licensor (or any of its successors or licensees or Licensor
Affiliate) inside the Territory.  For
avoidance of doubt, products that are manufactured in Korea but used outside of
Korea shall not qualify

 

C-3

 

as products “used within
the Territory,” and where a product is used shall be determined by the site of
the original installation of the product. 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 2 shall be
interpreted to allow HSI and/or any HSI Affiliate(s) to directly or indirectly,
compete with Licensor or Licensor Affiliates in violation of the covenant not
to compete outside the Territory in Section 5.08 of the Asset Purchase
Agreement or to allow Licensor and/or any Licensor Affiliate(s) to directly or
indirectly compete with HSI or HSI Affiliates in violation of the covenant not
to compete within the Territory in such Section;

 

(b)                                 for
the Initial Term, non-exclusive, non-transferable (except as
permitted under Section 10.12 of this Agreement), worldwide right and
license under and to the Licensed Intellectual Property, to copy and use any
such Licensed Intellectual Property to make, have made, use, sell, lease and
otherwise dispose of or commercially exploit products or services in the
Business using or containing the Licensed Intellectual Property to the extent
(and only to the extent) reasonably required in connection with complying with
and enforcing contractual obligations to and of customers outside the Territory
pursuant to agreements listed in Section 5.08(a) of the Disclosure
Schedule to the Asset Purchase Agreement in effect on the date of the
Asset Purchase Agreement; and

 

(c)                                  after
the Initial Term, perpetual, non-exclusive, non-transferable (except
as permitted under Section 10.12 of this Agreement), worldwide right and
license under and to the Licensed Intellectual Property, to copy and use any
such Licensed Intellectual Property to make, have made, use, sell, lease and
otherwise dispose of or commercially exploit products or services in the
Business using or containing the Licensed Intellectual Property.

 

2.2                                 SUBLICENSE

 

HSI may sublicense its rights and license under this
Agreement to the extent (and only to the extent) reasonably required in connection
with the following activities subject to the following conditions and terms:

 

(a)                                  grant
of sublicense to third parties or HSI Affiliates for the sole purpose of having
them manufacture or supply to HSI products and/or services using or containing
the Licensed Intellectual Property for entire consumption of such products
and/or services by HSI or HSI’s customers to the extent satisfying furnishing
contractual obligations from HSI to its customers;

 

(b)                                 grant
of sublicense to HSI’s customers only to the extent that rights granted by such
sublicense are necessary to allow such customers to use products and/or
services provided by or on behalf of HSI using or containing the Licensed
Intellectual Property;

 

C-4

 

(c)                                  grant
of sublicense to HSI Affiliates, upon approval of Licensor, which will not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed, for the sole purpose of having HSI Affiliates
continue the operation of the HSI business activities in the event that HSI
ceases, and transfers to HSI Affiliates, such business activities, which
sublicenses may authorize such HSI Affiliates to exercise any or all of the
rights of HSI set forth in this Agreement; and

 

(d)                                 grant
of sublicense to third parties, upon approval of Licensor, for defense and/or
settlement of claims or actions arising in connection with any agreements or
the conduct, activities, products or services in the Business prior to the
Closing Date; provided that, in no event, may HSI enter into any settlement or take
any action which limits or otherwise compromises the right, title and interests
of Licensor, Licensor Affiliates or any transferee or assignee of the Purchased
Assets or rights of Licensor or any assignee of Licensor to the Purchased
Assets or under any licenses transferred by HSI to Licensor.  For avoidance of doubts, HSI may not grant a
sublicense to Motorola to the extent that the sublicense extends after the
Closing Date.

 

2.3                                 ABANDONMENT
OF PATENTS

 

In the event that Licensor determines that it shall
cease to maintain any or all of the Patents which are licensed to HSI
hereunder, it shall provide written notice to HSI of such determination at
least thirty (30) days prior to the date on which the Patent is due to
lapse or become abandoned.  Upon HSI’s
request provided in writing at least twenty (20) days prior to the date
the Patent(s) lapse(s) or become(s) abandoned (or for an otherwise reasonable
period of time, in the event Licensor fails to provide notice of its intent to
abandon a Patent at least thirty (30) days prior to the date on which the
Patent is due to lapse or become abandoned), and at HSI’s sole cost, Licensor
will then assign, convey and transfer to HSI all of Licensor’s then existing
rights, title and interest in and to such Patent(s) subject to Licensor’s
retaining an unrestricted, sublicenseable, non-exclusive, world-wide,
irrevocable, fully-paid license under the applicable Patent(s) (bound by
territorial limitations under Section 2.1 of this Agreement).  Upon such transfer, each such Patent shall
cease to be Licensed Intellectual Property. 
The right reserved by HSI under this section shall not be assignable to
third parties (except in connection with a transfer of HSI’s business).

 

3.                                       NO
IMPLIED LICENSES; INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS NOTICES

Agreement, neither Party grants to the other Party by implication, estoppel or
otherwise any license or other right to any of its Intellectual Property.  In addition, neither Party grants any
license, release or other right expressly, by implication, by estoppel or
otherwise to any third party, including without limitation any Affiliate(s) of
the other Party.

 

C-5

 

4.                                       FEES
AND PAYMENTS

 

4.1                                 LICENSE
FEES

 

In consideration of the licenses granted to HSI
hereunder, HSI shall pay Licensor semiyearly License Fees in the amount of
[***] accrued during each fiscal half-year for [***] after the Closing
Date.  Thereafter, the licenses granted
to HSI hereunder shall be royalty-free and fully paid-up.  During the above-referenced 15-year
period, HSI shall submit quarterly reports of License Fees accrued for each
fiscal quarter after the Closing Date within thirty (30) calendar days
after the end of the relevant fiscal quarter.

 

4.2                                 TAX

 

Responsibility for withholding taxes levied by the
Korean government authority on Licensor with respect to the License Fees shall
be determined in mutually agreeable terms to each Party prior to the Closing.  All of the License Fees payable by HSI to
Licensor shall be paid without any deduction or reduction for any other taxes
or charges imposed in the Territory.  In
all other respects, HSI is solely responsible for all the taxes levied by any
Korean government authority on HSI with respect to its operations, income and
transactions under this Agreement.  Each
party agrees to deliver to the other Party an official proof of any taxes
withheld or paid on behalf of the other party upon request of the other party.

 

4.3                                 LICENSE
FEE PAYMENT

 

All License Fee payments shall be made by wire
transfer to the following account:

 

[Licensor Account
Information]

 

HSI shall pay to Licensor the License Fee due with
respect to [***].  All License Fee
payments made pursuant to this Agreement are non-refundable unless there
is a miscalculation and overpayment.

 

4.4                                 AUDIT

 

HSI agrees to keep and maintain accurate books and
records of all its activities in sufficient detail to enable the License Fees
due to Licensor to be determined.  HSI
shall keep such books and records for two (2) years from the date of
relevant payment due.  HSI shall also
grant Licensor, upon Licensor’s reasonable request, the right to have an
independent auditor audit the books and records of HSI, during HSI’s regular
business hours and no more frequently than once per calendar year with a 30 day
prior written notice, solely for the purpose of, and to the extent necessary
to, verify the correctness of the License Fees paid by HSI to Licensor.  Any such audit shall be conducted in a
manner that minimizes the interference with HSI’s business activities.  The costs of such audit shall be borne by
Licensor; provided that HSI shall bear the costs of such audit in the event the
discrepancy is more than 10% of the License Fees due.  The status of the records being audited shall be considered as
Confidential Information of HSI subject to confidentiality obligations of
Section 5.

 

C-6

 

5.                                       CONFIDENTIALITY

 

Each Party shall protect the other’s Confidential
Information from unauthorized dissemination and use with the same degree of
care that such Party uses to protect its own like information, but not less
than reasonable care.  Each Party agrees
that the Confidential Information of the other Party may be made available only
to those officers, directors, employees, contractors, consultants or agents who
agree to be bound to the receiving Party by confidentiality obligations at
least as protective as the provisions of this paragraph.  Neither Party will use the other’s
Confidential Information except as permitted by the licenses hereunder or for
purposes other than those necessary to directly further the purposes of this
Agreement. Trade secrets and know-how of HSI that were transferred to
UTSI or UTSI Affiliate designated by UTSI under the Asset Purchase Agreement
are the Confidential Information of UTSI, UTSI Affiliate or Licensor (even if
such trade secrets and know-how relates to those of the former or current
employees of HSI), and HSI shall not use them, except in accordance with the
licenses granted under this Agreement. 
Except as permitted by the licenses hereunder or other provisions
hereof, neither Party will disclose to any third parties the other’s
Confidential Information without the prior written consent of the other Party.
Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, no ownership or license right
is granted in any Confidential Information. 
The Parties’ obligations of confidentiality under this Agreement shall
not be construed to limit either Party’s right to independently develop or
acquire products without use of, or reference to, the other Party’s
Confidential Information.  Neither Party
shall be liable to the other Party for disclosure of any information received
hereunder if such disclosure is made pursuant to a governmental or judicial
mandate, provided that the receiving Party shall have given the other Party
notice of such mandate immediately upon its knowledge thereof and prior to any
disclosure in compliance therewith, and, provided further, that the receiving
Party shall fully cooperate (at the other Party’s sole cost and expense) with
any efforts the other Party may take to intervene in any such proceeding or to
otherwise prevent such disclosure.

 

6.                                       IMPROVEMENTS

 

6.1                                 Joint
Ownership of Improvements

 

In the event that the Parties agree to jointly develop
Improvement(s), the Parties will negotiate with each other in good faith and
enter into a separate agreement with respect to rights, title and ownership of
such Improvement conceived, discovered or reduced to practice jointly by both
Parties.

 

6.2                                 New
Improvements by Either Party.

 

Each Party shall retain all right, title and interest
in any and all Intellectual Property in and to Improvements, conceived, discovered
or reduced to practice solely by that Party.

 

C-7

 

7.                                       INFRINGEMENT

 

7.1                                 INFRINGEMENT
AND UNLAWFUL USE BY THIRD PARTIES

 

HSI shall notify Licensor promptly and fully of any
infringement, unauthorized or unlawful use of the Licensed Intellectual
Property that comes to its notice or is made aware.  With respect to infringement occurring in the Territory during
the Initial Term, upon request by HSI, Licensor shall either (with the
selection being in Licensor’s entire discretion):

 

(i)                                     at
HSI’s expenses, bring a lawsuit against any party that is or is alleged to be
infringing, using without authorization or using unlawfully any of the Licensed
Intellectual Property.  When requested
to do so by Licensor, HSI shall fully cooperate in connection with such
lawsuit, including but not limited to joining such lawsuit as a party; or

 

(ii)                                  make
a good faith determination, taking into account the interests of both HSI and
Licensor, as to whether the benefits of allowing HSI to pursue a lawsuit or
other proceeding against any such party with respect to the (alleged)
infringement notified by HSI outweigh the risks and/or harms.  If Licensor thus determines that they do,
HSI may bring a lawsuit or other proceeding against such party in its own name
at HSI’s own expenses, without any prejudice to Licensor, provided that HSI
shall indemnify and/or hold harmless Licensor or License Affiliate from any
losses that Licensor or Licensor Affiliate incurs from such lawsuit or proceeding
brought by HSI.  If Licensor thus
determines that they do not, Licensor will negotiate in good faith with HSI an
adjustment to the royalty charged hereunder during the Initial Term to account
for actual damage caused to HSI from any infringement of the Licensed
Intellectual Property; provided, however, Licensor shall have no obligation to
negotiate in good faith a royalty adjustment if Licensor (x) reasonably
believes that there is no infringement of the Licensed Intellectual Property or
(y) would have allowed HSI to bring a lawsuit or proceeding but Licensor
reasonably determined that HSI did not have the financial means to indemnify
Licensor and Licensor Affiliates from any losses arising out of such lawsuit or
proceeding, and that, upon request by Licensor, HSI failed to prove its
capacity of such financial means.

 

Subject to the foregoing indemnification obligations
and any other agreement by Licensor and HSI, in any such lawsuit or proceeding
brought by HSI at HSI’s expense, HSI shall be entitled to retain all damages
and other relief awarded.

 

7.2                                 INFRINGEMENT
AND UNLAWFUL USE BY THE PARTIES

 

If any third party brings a lawsuit or other
proceeding against a Party alleging infringement of or alleging unlawful use of
any Intellectual Property, including but not limited to patents or trade
secrets, arising from the Party’s use of the Licensed Intellectual Property or
otherwise, the Party shall have the sole responsibility to take whatever steps
it deems advisable

 

C-8

 

to answer such
allegation and to defend itself in such lawsuit or proceeding and the other
Party shall not be responsible for the costs of defending such lawsuit or
proceeding, for any resulting judgment in law or equity or for the payment of
any award of damages or arbitral award.

AND TERMINATION

 

9.1                                 This
Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and shall continue unless
terminated earlier in accordance with provisions of this Agreement.

 

9.2                                 This
Agreement shall be terminable immediately upon the sending of a written
termination notice upon the occurrence of one or more of the following events:

 

(a)                                  by
either Party hereto, if the other Party shall commit a material breach of any
of its obligations under this Agreement, and, except as provided in subsection
(b) below, the breach is not remedied or cured within thirty (30) calendar
days from the giving of written notice requiring such breach to be
remedied.  For purposes of clarity, the
non-payment of the License Fee by HSI to Licensor pursuant to
Section 4.3 of this Agreement shall constitute a material breach;

 

(b)                                 by
either Party hereto, if at any time the other Party ceases performing all of
its obligations pursuant to this Agreement due to any event of Force Majeure
for a period of at least sixty (60) consecutive calendar days from the
giving of written notice requiring that performance be resumed, unless any period
of such cessation is attributable in whole or in part to any breach by the
other party of any of its obligations pursuant to this Agreement;

 

(c)                                  by
Licensor, if HSI or its creditors or any other eligible party shall file for
HSI’s liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, compulsory composition, or
dissolution, unless a court of competent jurisdiction dismisses such filing or
the filing is dismissed by the filing party within thirty (30) calendar
days following the date of filing, or if HSI is unable to pay its debts as they
become due, has explicitly or implicitly suspended payment of its debts as they
became due (except debts contested in good faith), or if the creditors of HSI
have taken over its management, or if the relevant financial institutions have
suspended HSI’s clearing house privileges, or if any material or significant
part of HSI’s undertaking, property, or assets shall be intervened in,
expropriated, or confiscated by action of any governmental authority;

 

(d)                                 by
Licensor, if any of the following should occur without its consent, in such a
way that Licensor reasonably determines is detrimental to its interests:
(i) there is a merger or corporate reorganization of HSI,  (ii) there is any change in the
ownership of HSI or the persons having principal authority for the management
of HSI, or (iii) there is a sale or transfer of all or substantially all
of the assets of HSI.  For avoidance of
doubts, if the foregoing should occur in such a way that Licensor reasonably
determines is not detrimental to its interests, Licensor will not unreasonably
withheld or delay its consent.

 

C-10

 

(e)                                  by
Licensor, if the following should occur without its consent: another person or
entity engaged in CDMA infrastructure equipment, cordless base station or
subscriber unit business acquires direct or indirect control of HSI; or

 

(f)                                    by
Licensor, if HSI or any person or entity that has direct or indirect control of
HSI makes and/or files a claim against Licensor and/or any of Licensor
Affiliates contesting Licensor’s ownership or the validity of the Licensed
Intellectual Property.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, solely for
purposes of exercising the termination rights under this Section 9, HSI
shall not be deemed to be in breach of this Agreement for its failure to pay
disputed License Fees, provided that it has paid the undisputed amount of
License Fees.

 

9.3                                 EFFECTS
OF TERMINATION

 

Upon termination or expiration of this Agreement, all
of the rights and license granted to each Party by the other Party under this
Agreement shall immediately terminate and revert to the granting Party.  Upon termination of this Agreement, all
accrued License Fees shall be immediately due.

 

9.4                                 EFFECTS
OF INSOLVENCY

 

The Parties hereby agree that, if any proceeding shall
be instituted by or against either Party seeking to adjudicate it a bankrupt or
insolvent, or seeking liquidation, winding up, reorganization, arrangement,
adjustment, protection, relief or composition of it or its debts under any law
relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization, or relief of debtors, or
seeking an entry of an order of relief or the appointment of a receiver,
trustee or other similar official for it or any substantial part of its property
or the Party shall take any action to authorize any of the foregoing actions,
the other Party shall have and continue to have the right to retain and enforce
its rights under this Agreement, including but not limited to the right to
continue to use the Licensed Intellectual Property (in case the other Party is
HSI) or the Intellectual Property pursuant to Section 2.3 of this
Agreement (in case the other Party is Licensor) in accordance with the terms
and conditions of this Agreement, to the extent permissible under the relevant
law.  The Parties agree that HSI (in
case the other Party is HSI), as a licensee of the Licensed Intellectual
Property, or Licensor (in case the other Party is Licensor), as a licensee of
the Intellectual Property pursuant to Section 2.3 of this Agreement, shall
retain and may fully exercise all of the rights and elections to the full
extent permitted under Section 365(n) of the United States Bankruptcy Code
(11 U.S.C. Section 101 et seq.) or any similar law of the Republic of
Korea.  All rights and licenses granted
under or pursuant to this Agreement by Licensor to HSI are, and shall otherwise
be deemed to be, licenses of rights to “intellectual property” as defined in
Section 365(n) of the United States Bankruptcy Code.

and HSI each consent to and hereby submit to the non-exclusive

valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, the Seller hereby agrees as follows:

Purchased Assets hereby sold and assigned to the Purchaser or intended so to

respect of any of such Purchaser Assets, and to do all such acts and things in
relation thereto as the Purchaser shall deem advisable for the collection or
reduction to possession of any of such Purchased Assets;

 

(c)                                  to
take any and all other reasonable action designed to vest more fully in the

coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable by it or upon its subsequent
dissolution or in any manner or for any reason.  The Purchaser shall be entitled to retain for its own account any
amounts collected pursuant to the foregoing powers, including any amounts
payable as interest with respect thereto. 
The Seller shall from time to time pay to the Purchaser, when received,
any amounts that shall be received directly or indirectly by the Seller
(including amounts received as interest) in respect of any Purchased Assets
sold, assigned or transferred to the Purchaser pursuant hereto.

 

5.                                       No
Third Party Beneficiaries.  This

benefit of the Purchaser and its permitted assigns and nothing herein, express
or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person, any legal or
equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever, under or by reason
of this Bill of Sale and Assignment.

 

6.                                       Severability.  If any term or other provision of this Bill
of Sale and Assignment is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by
any Law or public policy, all other terms and provisions of this Bill of Sale
and Assignment shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as
the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not
affected in any manner materially adverse to either the Seller or the
