 ARBITRATION SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT 
 This Settlement Agreement is entered into and effective as of April 26, 2006 by and between InterDigital Communications Corporation (“IDCC”), a
Pennsylvania corporation with offices at 781 Third Avenue, King of Prussia PA 19406, and InterDigital Technology Corporation (“ITC”), a Delaware corporation having a mailing address of Suite 105, Hagley Building, 3411 Silverside Road,
Concord Plaza, Wilmington, DE 19810, (individually and together, “InterDigital”), on the one hand, and Nokia Corporation (“Nokia”), a Finnish corporation with offices at Keilalahdentie 4, 02150 Espoo, Finland, on the other hand.
(IDCC, ITC, and Nokia are sometimes referred to herein individually as a “Party” or together as the “Parties”). 
 BACKGROUND 
  

	 	A.	InterDigital and Nokia are parties to three interrelated contracts relating to digital cellular technology, including the Nokia PLA, the TDD Development Agreement, and the Master
Agreement. 

  

	 	B.	In 2003, a dispute arose between InterDigital and Nokia concerning Nokia’s royalty obligations for the sale of certain terminal unit and infrastructure products under the Nokia
PLA. Pursuant to the terms of the Master Agreement and the Nokia PLA, the Parties submitted their dispute to Arbitration. In mid-2005, the Arbitral Tribunal issued its Award, in which it, among other things: (i) concluded that Nokia’s
obligation under the Nokia PLA to pay royalties on certain Period 2 terminal unit and infrastructure sales had been triggered; and (ii) set forth the Period 1 and Period 2 royalty rates to be applied to Nokia’s sales of such certain
terminal unit and infrastructure products under the Nokia PLA. 

  

	 	C.	In July 2005, InterDigital filed an action before the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York to confirm the Award. In December 2005, Judge William H.
Pauley III issued the Order confirming the Award. In January 2006, Nokia filed a Notice of Appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. 

  

	 	D.	After the Tribunal issued the Award, a dispute between InterDigital and Nokia arose over, among other things, the calculation and scope of Nokia’s royalty base and resultant
royalty obligation under the terms of the Award and the Nokia PLA. In December 2005, ITC sent Nokia a Notice of Dispute, initiating additional dispute resolution procedures. In January 2006, Nokia responded in correspondence, identifying additional
issues in dispute. On March 30, 2006, InterDigital commenced an arbitration before the International Chamber of Commerce related to its December 2005 Notice of Dispute (the “Second Arbitration”). In addition, on March 24, 2006,
ITC sent Nokia a Notice of Dispute initiating additional dispute resolution procedures related to Nokia’s purported breach of certain confidentiality obligations under the Master Agreement (the “Confidentiality Dispute”).

  

	 	E.	 The Parties hereto desire to settle and resolve certain past, current and future disputes involving Nokia’s license under the InterDigital Patents for sales of
2G Covered Terminal Units, 2G Covered Infrastructure, and certain Excluded Products and payment of royalties

on 2G Covered Terminal Units, 2G Covered Infrastructure, and certain Excluded Products, including, without limitation, disputes over the calculation of
Nokia’s royalty obligation under the terms of the Award by, among other things, implementing the Award (including the rates set forth therein as to Nokia and its Affiliates), as follows. 

 AGREEMENT 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in
consideration of the mutual promises and covenants contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the Parties agree as follows: 
  

	1.	DEFINITIONS. The terms set forth in Exhibit “A,” attached hereto and incorporated herein, when used with initial capital letters in this Agreement, shall
have the meanings ascribed to them in Exhibit “A” for purposes of this Agreement. 

  

	2.	DISMISSAL & CESSATION OF DISPUTES. In consideration of the Parties’ releases, acknowledgements, and agreements set forth herein,
Nokia shall: (i) within 2 business days after obtaining confirmation by email from InterDigital that InterDigital has received the Settlement Fee1, cause its counsel to file a Notice of Withdrawal of Nokia’s Notice of Appeal of the Order; (ii) promptly take any other steps necessary to dismiss and terminate any appeal of the Order with
prejudice; and (iii) refrain from taking any action to appeal, vacate or otherwise attack the validity of the Award or the Order. In addition, InterDigital shall, within 2 business days of receiving the Settlement Fee, submit a letter to the
Secretariat of the ICC International Court of Arbitration requesting dismissal of the Second Arbitration with prejudice and thereafter take any and all other steps required to effect the dismissal of the Second Arbitration, and also withdraw without
prejudice the Confidentiality Dispute. Each Party shall bear its own attorneys’ fees and costs, if any, incurred in connection with the Arbitration, the federal court proceeding that resulted in the Order, Nokia’s previous effort to appeal
the Order, the Second Arbitration, and the Confidentiality Dispute. 

  

	3.	RELEASES. 

  

	 	a.	InterDigital Release. 

 (i) In consideration of the
execution and delivery of this Agreement, effective and contingent upon InterDigital’s receipt of the Settlement Fee in accordance with Section 5(a) herein, and subject to (3)(a)(ii) below, InterDigital Group irrevocably releases,

attorney’s fees that may become due under Section 5(c)), regardless of whether such Claim is pursued in a suit at law or equity, and regardless of the legal theory on which such Claim is pursued (e.g., Lanham Act, antitrust law,
fraud, fraudulent inducement, or negligent misrepresentation, or contract law based on the Nokia PLA, Master Agreement or TDD Development Agreement or under the Award); (d) for any increase of, addition to, or premium of any kind charged
against monies already paid for 2G Covered Terminal Units, 2G Covered Infrastructure, or Additional Released Products under the Master Agreement, Nokia PLA, or TDD Development Agreement, regardless of whether such Claim is pursued in a suit at law
or equity, and regardless of the legal theory on which such Claim is pursued (e.g. Lanham Act, antitrust law, fraud, fraudulent inducement, or negligent misrepresentation, contract law based on the Nokia PLA, Master Agreement or TDD Development
Agreement); or (e) for any rights relating to 2G Covered Terminal Units, 2G Covered Infrastructure, or Additional Released Products that are different from those acknowledged and agreed to herein, whether under the Award, Master Agreement,
Nokia PLA, or application of the terms of the Ericsson PLA, Sony Ericsson PLA, Ericsson Side Letter, Sony Ericsson Side Letter, or the Lucent Agreement (as defined in Section 4(a) below). 
 Effective and contingent upon InterDigital’s receipt of the Settlement Fee in accordance with Section 5(a) herein, InterDigital acknowledges and
agrees that Nokia and its Affiliates will have a fully paid-up, perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive, world-wide license (without the right to grant sublicenses) under the InterDigital Patents for Protected Acts with respect to 2G Covered Terminal
Units and 2G Covered Infrastructure sold by Nokia or its Affiliates. Any entity operating under Nokia’s or Nokia’s Affiliates’ “have made” rights for the Protected Acts shall only have such rights with respect to
(A) the entity’s sales of 2G Covered Terminal Units and 2G Covered Infrastructure to Nokia or Nokia’s Affiliates, (B) the entity’s sales of ASICs, software, or other components to Nokia or Nokia’s Affiliates when such
ASICs, software, or other components are used as part of and within 2G Covered Terminal Units and 2G Covered Infrastructure sold by Nokia or Nokia’s Affiliates, (C) the entity’s internal use of reference designs and software to design
and/or make 2G Covered Terminal Units or 2G Covered Infrastructure sold by such entity to Nokia or Nokia’s Affiliates, and (D) the entity’s internal use of reference designs and software to design and/or make ASICs, software or other
components when such ASICs, software, or other components are sold to Nokia or Nokia’s Affiliates to be used as part of and within 2G Covered Terminal Units and 2G Covered Infrastructure sold by Nokia or Nokia’s Affiliates. 
 In addition, effective and contingent upon InterDigital’s receipt of the Settlement Fee in accordance with Section 5(a) herein, InterDigital
acknowledges and agrees

 Confidential & Proprietary 
  

 
that Nokia and its Affiliates will have a fully paid-up, irrevocable, non-exclusive, world-wide release under the InterDigital Patents for Protected Acts
with respect to Additional Released Products. Any entity that made Additional Released Products designed by or for Nokia or Nokia’s Affiliates will also have a fully paid-up, irrevocable, not-exclusive, world-wide release under the InterDigital
Patents with respect to (A) the entity’s sales of such Additional Released Products to Nokia or Nokia’s Affiliates, (B) the entity’s sales of ASICs, software, or other components to Nokia or Nokia’s Affiliates when such
ASICs, software, or other components were used as part of and within the Additional Released Products sold by Nokia or Nokia’s Affiliates, (C) the entity’s internal use of reference designs and software to design and/or make the
Additional Released Products sold by such entity to Nokia or Nokia’s Affiliates, and (D) the entity’s internal use of reference designs and software to design and/or make ASICs, software, or other components when such ASICs, software,
or other components are sold to Nokia or Nokia’s Affiliates to be used as part of and within Additional Released Products sold by Nokia or Nokia’s Affiliates. 
 InterDigital also acknowledges and agrees that, effective and contingent upon InterDigital’s receipt of the Settlement Fee in accordance with Section 5(a), Nokia’s and its Affiliates’ customers
have a release or will receive a pass-through license (as appropriate) from InterDigital with respect to 2G Covered Terminal Units and 2G Covered Infrastructure sold by Nokia or its Affiliates, and are released by InterDigital with respect to
Additional Released Products sold by Nokia or its Affiliates to such customers. Such pass-through license or release (as appropriate) shall apply only to 2G Covered Terminal Units, 2G Covered Infrastructure, and Additional Released Products in each
case sold by Nokia or its Affiliates to their customers, and will not apply to any Excluded Product that is not an Additional Released Product or to any third party products, including the customer’s products, even if such products are used in
combination with 2G Covered Terminal Units, 2G Covered Infrastructure, and Additional Released Products in each case sold by Nokia or its Affiliates (e.g., if a third party handset is used in combination with a Nokia base station, the third
party handset will not be licensed hereunder, and no third party will be licensed to the combination of any third party handset and the Nokia base station, but the Nokia base station remains licensed to Nokia and its customers). 
 The foregoing release and license do not include a release or license with respect to subject matter other than that expressly set forth above and do not
apply to any third party products even when used in combination with 2G Covered Terminal Units, 2G Covered Infrastructure, and Additional Released Products in each case sold by Nokia or its Affiliates. 
 (ii) The release, acknowledgement, license and agreement described in Section 3(a)(i) above do not extend, by implication or otherwise, to
(A) any products other than 2G Covered Terminal Units, 2G Covered Infrastructure and Additional Released Products in each case sold by Nokia or its Affiliates, including without limitation, any Excluded Product and any portion of any

Multi-Mode Product (including any portion compliant with a 2G Covered Standard) sold by Nokia or its Affiliates that is not an Additional Released Product;
(B) any ASICs, software, or other components except when such ASICs, software, or other components are used as part of and within 2G Covered Terminal Units, 2G Covered Infrastructure or Additional Released Products sold by Nokia or its
Affiliates and licensed or released in Section 3(a)(i) above; (C) any reference designs or software except for use of such reference designs or software to design and/or make 2G Covered Terminal Units, 2G Covered Infrastructure or

Infrastructure, or Additional Released Products that are different from those acknowledged and agreed to herein, whether under the Award, Master Agreement, or Nokia PLA, or (d) for any rights relating to or benefits arising from the application
of the terms of the Ericsson PLA, Sony Ericsson PLA, Sony Ericsson Side Letter, or Ericsson Side Letter, except as expressly provided in Section 4(d) of this Agreement.

the TDD Development Agreement constitute [***] of any such amounts, and will not allege in the Delaware Action or in any other Proceeding, that all or any portion of the [***] under the Master Agreement, the Nokia PLA, and/or the TDD Development
Agreement [***], a basis for [***], or [***] of any such amounts. 
  

	4.	OTHER COVENANTS 

  

	 	a.	Rights Under Prior Agreements Terminated. The Parties understand and agree that, as of the Effective Date and contingent upon InterDigital’s receipt of the Settlement
Fee in accordance with Section 5(a) herein, all of the Parties’ rights and obligations under the Award and the Nokia PLA shall have terminated, and, with respect to the Award, have been satisfied and discharged by this Agreement and, with
respect to the Nokia PLA, have been satisfied and discharged by this Agreement and the UK Settlement Agreement. Further, Nokia acknowledges, represents, and warrants that it has not elected to accept any third party license agreement under
Section 3.1.2 of the Nokia PLA as of the Effective Date, and InterDigital acknowledges, represents, and warrants that it has not executed any Major Competitor License Agreement (as that term is used and defined in the Master Agreement) other
than those deemed to be Major Competitor License Agreements in the Award. Notwithstanding the foregoing, IDCC’s subsidiary, Tantivy Communications, Inc., entered into a settlement agreement, which included a patent license, on November 1,
2005, with Lucent Technologies Inc. (the “Lucent Agreement”). InterDigital represents and warrants

	 	    	that the license granted in the Lucent Agreement (i) licenses only those patents that were involved in the litigation between Lucent Technologies Inc. and Tantivy
Communications, Inc., (ii) only covers certain Lucent infrastructure products compliant with “cdma2000,” and (iii) defines “cdma2000” as “a family of IMT-2000 standards, as amended, which evolved from narrow band
CDMA technologies (e.g., IS-95 and cdmaOne) and, include without limitation CDMA2000 1X, CDMA 1X EV-DO, CDMA-2000 1X EV-DV and CDMA2000 3X.” 

  

	 	b.	No Admission of Liability or Limitations on Patent Challenges. By entering into this Agreement, Nokia and its Affiliates do not make any admission as to the validity, scope,
essentiality, enforceability, or value of any InterDigital Patent nor do Nokia or any of its Affiliates admit or agree that any product of Nokia or its Affiliates infringes any claim of any InterDigital Patent. By entering into this Agreement,
InterDigital and its Affiliates do not make any admission as to the invalidity, scope, non-essentiality, unenforceability, or value of any InterDigital Patent nor do InterDigital or any of its Affiliates admit or agree that any products of Nokia or
its Affiliates (including those released or licensed hereunder) do not infringe any claim of any InterDigital Patent. Further, notwithstanding anything to the contrary, nothing in any agreements between the parties shall preclude or limit in any way
the ability of Nokia or its Affiliates to institute, participate as an adverse party in, otherwise provide material support or continue their participation in or support to, any Proceeding anywhere in the world challenging any [***], including seeking to re-examine, declare not infringed, invalid, unenforceable or non-essential, or limit or construe the scope
of any claim of any [***]. This provision shall in no way, however, eliminate or reduce, or expand or increase, any confidentiality obligations or restrictions (including those regarding the use of confidential information) that either party may
have under any agreement (including those obligations and restrictions set forth in Article 5 of the Master Agreement) or court order. 

  

	 	c.	Audit Rights. Contingent upon InterDigital’s receipt of the Settlement Fee in accordance with Section 5(a) herein, neither Party shall take any action after the
Effective Date to pursue an audit or inspection of the other Party’s or the other Party’s Affiliates’ books and records for any purpose relating to 2G Covered Terminal Units, 2G Covered Infrastructure or Additional Released Products
sold by Nokia or its Affiliates, or to InterDigital’s billing relating to the TDD development project. This Section shall not be deemed to preclude discovery in any Proceeding between the Parties to the extent such discovery is otherwise
available. Notwithstanding the above, as to any entity that is created or comes into existence after the Effective Date and that Nokia claims as an Affiliate under this Agreement, InterDigital shall have the right to obtain an audit only as to the
questions of whether the claimed Affiliate has [***], or as to what [***]. In addition, in the event that [***] pursuant to Section [***], InterDigital may request an audit at its own expense, and in accordance with the provisions of this
Section 4(c) regarding compliance with Section [***], which audit

Units or 2G Covered Infrastructure, [***], and the [***] and regarding compliance with Section [***], which audit will only address whether an [***] described in Section [***], what [***] by Nokia, and the [***] of 2G Covered Terminal Units and 2G
Covered Infrastructure [***]. Similarly, as to [***] the Effective Date and that InterDigital or one of its Affiliates claims [***] under this Agreement, Nokia shall have the right to obtain an audit only as to the questions of [***] by InterDigital
or one of its Affiliates, or as to the [***] of the [***] and the [***] of InterDigital or one of its Affiliates to [***]. The auditing party shall be entitled to audit, in each case at its own expense, no more than once per calendar year, following
fifteen (15) business days prior notice, using an independent certified public accountant or independent patent licensing professional that has signed an appropriate and reasonable nondisclosure agreement with the Party being audited. Any
information obtained during the course of the audit shall be held in confidence by the auditing Party and the auditor except as necessary to enforce this agreement. 

  

	 	d.	[***]. 

 Contingent upon InterDigital’s
receipt of the Settlement Fee in accordance with Section 5(a) herein, in the event that InterDigital sues Nokia for patent infringement based upon infringement of an InterDigital Patent by Nokia’s or its Affiliates’ [***] (other than
subsequent to a declaratory judgment claim regarding non-infringement in the United States or similar claim regarding infringement or lack thereof in another jurisdiction brought by Nokia or its Affiliates specifically concerning [***]), Nokia can
claim the benefit of whatever [***], and Nokia shall be free to litigate in any such infringement action Nokia’s position that the [***], with respect to which InterDigital may contest. If the court finds that the [***], InterDigital agrees
that (regardless of any definitions, terms, or conditions of this Agreement to the contrary) the release from InterDigital and Nokia’s paid-up license (both set out in Section 3(a)(i) above) extend to and cover [***] by Nokia, but such
license, with regard to [***], shall be altered as follows: [***] shall apply to Nokia’s license for [***]. Any benefits obtained by Nokia under this Section 4(d) shall not alter in any way Nokia’s rights with regard to 2G Covered
Terminal Units or Additional Released Products. 
 In the event that, prior to a declaratory judgment claim or similar claim as described
above or a court action involving Nokia as described above, the scope of the [***], is interpreted in a final, non-appealable and binding judicial or arbitral determination then InterDigital shall promptly notify Nokia of such event. 
 Nothing in this Section 4(d) shall affect (i) Nokia’s release to InterDigital, (ii) Nokia’s payment obligations, as set forth in
Section 5 herein, or (iii) Nokia’s rights with regard to Infrastructure under Section 4 of the TDD Development Agreement. Nothing in this Section shall be construed as an acknowledgment or admission from InterDigital that the

that it will not [***] in any manner in the Delaware Action, the UK 2G Action, or the UK 3G Action to challenge [***] currently being asserted in those actions (or, in the case of the UK 3G Action, a future claim that any or all of the InterDigital
Patents currently in the UK 3G action are invalid), or to otherwise [***] in those actions from [***], but InterDigital may [***] for the limited purpose of [***] of this Agreement to support [***]. Nokia acknowledges and agrees that it will not use
this Agreement in any manner in the Delaware Action, the UK 2G Action, or the UK 3G Action in an effort to [***], but Nokia may use this Agreement for the limited purpose of [***] this Agreement to support [***] by InterDigital. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, neither Party shall offer into evidence or otherwise disclose to the fact-finder at any trial between or involving both InterDigital and Nokia (other than in an action for breach of this Agreement and other than by court order) [***]. In
the event that a court orders that the [***] be offered into evidence or otherwise disclosed to the fact-finder at any trial, either Party may offer into evidence or otherwise disclose to the fact-finder the terms, including [***]. In addition, in
the event that a court orders that the terms, including [***] be offered into evidence or otherwise disclosed to the fact-finder at any trial, either Party may offer into evidence or otherwise disclose to the fact-finder the amount or approximate
[***]. 

  

	 	f.	Agreement Not to Pursue Infringement Claims. Contingent upon InterDigital’s receipt of the Settlement Fee in accordance with Section 5(a) herein, InterDigital and
its Affiliates agree not to initiate or assert any patent infringement claims in any action, litigation, arbitration, or other legal or administrative proceeding (including a United States International Trade Commission action or comparable actions
in any other jurisdictions around the world) against Nokia or its Affiliates before [***], other than in response to a future affirmative action or claim initiated or asserted on or after the Effective Date by Nokia or its Affiliates concerning the
validity or infringement of InterDigital Patents (but specifically excepting any [***] of: (i) [***]; or (ii) [***]). InterDigital may, at its option, file such responsive action, litigation or proceeding in any forum of
InterDigital’s choice, subject to the rights of Nokia or its Affiliates to contest personal jurisdiction or seek to dismiss, stay, or transfer the action. 

  

	 	g.	Potential Future Royalties on Excluded Products. Contingent upon InterDigital’s receipt of the Settlement Fee in accordance with Section 5(a) herein, in the event
that, after January 1, 2007, any of Nokia’s or its Affiliates’ Excluded Products sold during the period between the Effective Date and December 31, 2006, are found to infringe any InterDigital Patent and a royalty rate or amount
is imposed on such product sales,

	 	    	the Parties agree that Nokia and its Affiliates will be entitled to a [***] for such product sales and that InterDigital [***] with respect to such product sales; provided, however, InterDigital may attempt to establish Nokia’s [***] related to sales that occurred after
such period. Except as necessary to enforce InterDigital’s agreement not [***] or to enforce [***], the Parties agree and acknowledge that neither Party may use or refer to this provision in any way in any action seeking damages from Nokia or
any of its Affiliates for patent infringement. In no event shall either Party offer into evidence or otherwise disclose to the fact finder at any trial between or involving both InterDigital and Nokia (other than in an action for breach of this
Agreement and other than by court order) the existence of the [***] provided in this Section 4(g) and such [***] shall be [***].

be null and void. 

  

	 	b.	If, after the Effective Date, InterDigital and/or its Affiliates assigns or transfer any of the InterDigital Patents to third parties, it may do so only on the condition that
(i) the assigned or transferred patents remain fully encumbered by the license and release described in this Agreement, which license and release shall remain valid and effective as to the patent once assigned or transferred and

forward, provided that the [***] are identified in Nokia’s public documents, e.g., website, SEC filings, etc.) or assigns or transfers all or substantially all of its [***] in the normal course of Nokia’s business going forward, provided
that the [***] is identified in Nokia’s public documents, e.g., website, SEC filings, etc.) to a third party (i.e., a party other than Nokia or one of its Affiliates), in either case through merger, divestiture of assets, the sale of shares, or
otherwise, so that such divested [***] is not an Affiliate hereunder, Nokia may assign or transfer the paid-up license applicable to such transferred [***] to the acquiring entity only as to those Protected Acts undertaken by the acquiring entity
for the [***] and in accordance with this Section c. Nokia shall be deemed to have assigned or transferred [***] to the third party acquiring entity if the assignment or transfer represents [***].

 In the event that the third party acquiring entity at the time of the assignment or transfer is a
licensee of InterDigital for 2G Covered Terminal Units or 2G Covered Infrastructure, whichever is applicable based on the [***] being transferred, Nokia’s paid-up license may only be assigned or transferred to such third party acquiring entity
under the following conditions: (a) the third party acquiring entity agrees in writing prior to the assignment or transfer that it will [***]; and (b) the [***]. 
 In the event that the third party acquiring entity at the time of assignment or transfer is not a licensee of InterDigital, the paid-up license being transferred by Nokia [***] described in the [***].

assigned paid-up license shall not extend to any larger operations into which such assigned or transferred business group may be subsumed or any subsequent additions or expansion made to such business group by the acquiring entity. 
 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, (i) Nokia may assign or transfer its paid-up license pursuant to this provision to a third party [***] and
(ii) Nokia may not transfer the rights under Section 4(d) herein to a third party. 
  

	 	d.	In the event that (i) Nokia acquires an entity after the Effective Date that meets the definition of Affiliate, but that does not constitute a Nokia Affiliate because the
acquired entity had, in the [***] and (ii) Nokia merges the acquired entity into Nokia or one of Nokia’s Affiliates, then the licenses set forth in Section 3(a)(i) shall not extend [***] to the number of unit sales by Nokia or its
Affiliates of 2G Covered Terminal Units and/or 2G Covered Infrastructure that were [***]; provided however, the
licenses set forth in Section 3(a)(i) shall continue to cover all other unit sales by Nokia or its Afilliates of 2G Covered Terminal Units and/or

	 	    	2G Covered Infrastructure, including [***] unit
sales of 2G Covered Terminal Units and/or 2G Covered Infrastructure by Nokia or Nokia’s Affiliates that may be attributable to [***]. For example, if Nokia acquires and merges into itself an entity that sold [***], then [***] 2G Covered
Terminal Units sold by Nokia or its Affiliates [***] after the acquisition would be unlicensed under this Agreement, but [***] unit sales of 2G Covered Terminal Units sold by Nokia or its Affiliates each calendar year after the acquisition would
continue to be licensed under this Agreement.

that meets the definition of Affiliate, but that does not constitute a Nokia Affiliate because the acquired entity had, in the full calendar year prior to its acquisition, [***] and (ii) Nokia operates the acquired entity as a separate company
(i.e., does not merge the entity into Nokia or one of Nokia’s Affiliates), then any Protected Acts performed by the acquired entity with regard to 2G Covered Terminal Units and 2G Covered Infrastructure shall not benefit from any of the
licenses granted to Nokia and Nokia’s Affiliates under this Agreement. 
  

	 	e.	No express or implied waiver of any breach of any term, condition or obligation of this Agreement shall be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach of that term, condition or
obligation or of any other term, condition or obligation of the same or of a different nature.

all litigation over any alleged breach of this Agreement shall be the United States District Court, Southern District of New York (except that the provisions of this Agreement may be asserted as a defense or counterclaim in an action properly filed
elsewhere subject to the restrictions on the manner of use of the Agreement contained herein). In particular, this provision will have no impact on any pending litigation between the Parties, namely the Delaware Action, the UK 2G Action, or the UK
3G Action. 

  

	 	g.	The provisions of this Agreement shall be severable, and if any of them are held invalid or unenforceable, then that provision shall be construed to the maximum extent permitted by
law. The invalidity or unenforceability of one provision shall not necessarily affect any other. 

  

	 	h.	Each Party shall be responsible for all actions required of its Affiliates hereunder and shall be liable to the other Party for any adverse action or failure to perform by any of
such Affiliates.

Exhibit 10.84 
 EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT 
 THIS EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT is made as of this 16th day of May, 2006, by and between James Nolan, a New York resident (the “Employee”), and InterDigital Communications Corporation, a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (the
“Company”). 
 WHEREAS, the Company is engaged in the business of the design and development of advanced wireless technologies and
products that drive voice and data communications and the licensing of wireless digital technology (as more particularly described in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005) (the “Business”). The definition
of Business shall change and evolve over time as the Company’s business changes and evolves, and such definition shall further automatically adjust each year with the filing of the Company’s then current Form 10-K to be consistent with the
business of the Company described therein. 
 WHEREAS, Employee has been promoted to the position of Senior Engineering Officer of the
Company (Employee’s “Position”) effective May 16, 2006, and Employee is willing to accept such Position upon the terms set forth in this Agreement. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and obligations contained herein, and intending to be legally bound, the parties, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, agree as follows:

 1. Salary Increase. The Company hereby grants Employee an increase to his base salary as set forth in Section 4 below and Employee hereby
accepts such increase. 
  
 2. Term and Duties. Until such time as Employee’s
employment hereunder is terminated pursuant to the provisions of Section 9 hereto (the “Term”), Employee shall serve the Company faithfully and to the best of his ability and shall devote his full time, attention, skill and efforts to
the performance of the duties required by or appropriate for his Position. Employee agrees to assume such duties and responsibilities as may be customarily incident to such position, and as may be reasonably assigned to Employee from time to time by
the Chief Executive Officer of the Company. Employee shall report to the Chief Executive Officer of the Company. 
 3. Other Business Activities.
During the Term, Employee will not, without the prior written consent of the Company, directly or indirectly engage in any other business activities or pursuits whatsoever, except activities in connection with any charitable or civic activities,
personal investments and serving as an executor, trustee or in other similar fiduciary capacity; provided, however, that such activities do not interfere with his performance of his responsibilities and obligations pursuant to this Agreement.

 4. Compensation. 
 (a) The Company shall pay Employee, and Employee hereby agrees to accept, as compensation for all services rendered hereunder and for Employee’s covenants as provided for in Section 8 hereof, a base salary
at the annual rate of Two Hundred and Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars (subject to any increase from time to time, the “Base Salary”). The Base Salary shall be inclusive of all applicable income, social security and other taxes and charges
which are required by law to be withheld by the Company or which are requested to be withheld by Employee, and which shall be withheld and paid in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll practice for its similarly situated employees from
time to time in effect. 
 (b) Employee shall be eligible to participate in the Company’s Annual Employee Bonus Plan, as amended from
time to time (the “Bonus Plan”), on terms and conditions no less favorable than those provided to the other Company senior and executive officers so long as the same may be in effect. For the Year 2006, Employee shall have a target bonus
level of 40% of his Base Salary under the Bonus Plan. The goals shall be consistent with the goals set for other senior and executive officers. The bonus shall be subject to the terms of the Bonus Plan, as amended from time to time, and shall be
referred to herein as the “Annual Target Bonus”. 
 (c) Employee shall be eligible to participate in the Company’s Long Term
Compensation Program as it may be amended from time to time for so long as the same may be in effect (“Program”). Employee’s eligibility for an LTIP cash bonus and Restricted Stock Unit award under the Program shall be 80% of Base
Salary effective upon the next applicable cash and Restricted Stock Unit cycles. 
 (d) Employee has been awarded 5,000 Restricted Stock Units
under the terms and conditions of the Company’s 1999 Restricted Stock Plan (“1999 Plan”) effective May 16, 2006. Subject to such terms and conditions of the 1999 Plan, the Restricted Stock Units shall vest as follows: 

 

			
	 May 16, 2007
	 	1,666 shares
	 May 16, 2008
	 	1,667 shares
	 May 16, 2009
	 	1,667 shares

 (e) In the event any amount or benefit payable to the Employee under this Agreement or under any
other plan, agreement or arrangement applicable to the Employee, is subject to an excise tax imposed under Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) (or imposed under any successor provision of the
Code imposing a tax liability on “excess parachute payments” as that term is defined in Code Section 280G), Employee shall be entitled, in addition to any other amounts payable under the terms of this Agreement or under any other
plan, agreement or arrangement applicable to the Employee, to a cash payment in an amount sufficient to indemnify the Employee (or such other person as may be liable for the payment of such excise tax) for the amount of any such excise tax, and
leaving Employee with an amount, net after all federal, state and local taxes, equal to the amount Employee would have had if no portion of his benefit under the Plan constituted an “excess parachute payment.” Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the determination of the amount necessary to indemnify the Employee shall be made taking into account all other payments made to the Employee under any 
  

 2 

 plans, agreements or arrangements aside from this Agreement that are intended to indemnify the Employee with respect to
excise taxes on “excess parachute payments”. Any disputes as to calculations to be made under this paragraph shall be resolved by the Company’s independent auditors, whose determinations shall be final and binding. This provision
shall survive the termination of this Agreement and Employee’s employment. 
 (f) If any payment to Employee under the terms of this
Agreement is determined to constitute a payment of nonqualified deferred compensation for purposes of Section 409A of the Code, such payment shall be delayed until the date that is six months after the date of Employee’s separation from
service with the Company, so as to comply with the special rule for certain “specified employees” set forth in Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) unless it is determined that immediate distribution is permissible (and does not trigger any
additional tax liability pursuant to Code Section 409A(a)(l)) pursuant to Code Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(v) by reason of being payable in connection with a change in the ownership or effective control of the Company or in the ownership of a
substantial portion of the assets of the Company or is otherwise determined not to be subject to such additional tax liability. 
 5. Benefits and
Expenses. Employee and his dependants shall be entitled to receive those employee benefits (including, without limitation, paid time off, medical plan, dental plan, optional 401K participation and expense reimbursement) as shall be provided to
similarly situated employees of the Company (“Benefits”). 
  
 6.
Confidentiality. Employee recognizes and acknowledges that the Proprietary Information (as hereinafter defined) is a valuable, special and unique asset of the Business of the Company. As a result, both during the Term and thereafter, Employee
shall not, without the prior written consent of the Company, for any reason either directly or indirectly divulge to any third party or use for his own benefit, or for any purpose other than the exclusive benefit of the Company, any confidential,
proprietary, business and technical information or trade secrets of the Company or of any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company (“Proprietary Information”) revealed, obtained or developed in the course of his employment with the Company.
Such Proprietary Information shall include, but shall not be limited to, the intangible personal property described in Section 7(b) hereof, any information relating to methods of production and manufacture, research, computer codes or
instructions (including source and object code listings, program logic algorithms, subroutines, modules or other subparts of computer programs and related documentation, including program notation), computer processing systems and techniques,
concepts, layouts, flowcharts, specifications, know how, any associated user or service manuals or other like textual materials (including any other data and materials used in performing the Employee’s duties), all computer inputs and outputs
(regardless of the media on which stored or located), hardware and software configurations, designs (including information and material relating to any ASIC), architecture, interfaces, plans, sketches, blueprints, and any other materials prepared by
the Employee in the course of, relating to or arising out of his employment by the Company, or prepared by any other Company employee, representative, or contractor for the Company, or its customers, costs, business studies, business procedures,
finances, marketing data, methods, plans and efforts, the identities of licensees, 
  

 3 

 strategic partners, customers, contractors and suppliers and prospective licensees, strategic partners, customers,
contractors and suppliers, the terms of contracts and agreements with licensees, strategic partners, customers, contractors and suppliers, the Company’s relationship with actual and prospective licensees, strategic partners, customers,
contractors and suppliers and the needs and requirements of, and the Company’s course of dealing with, any such actual or prospective licensees, strategic partners, customers, contractors and suppliers, personnel information, customer and
vendor credit information, and any other materials that have not been made available to the general public, provided, that nothing herein contained shall restrict Employee’s ability to make such disclosures during the course of his employment
as may be necessary or appropriate to the effective and efficient discharge of the duties required by or appropriate for his Position or as such disclosures may be required by law; and further provided, that nothing herein contained shall restrict
Employee from divulging or using for his own benefit or for any other purpose any Proprietary Information that is readily available to the general public so long as such information did not become available to the general public as a direct or
indirect result of Employee’s breach of this Section 6. Failure by the Company to mark any of the Proprietary Information as confidential or proprietary shall not affect its status as Proprietary Information under the terms of this
Agreement. 
 7. Property. 
 (a) All
right, title and interest in and to Proprietary Information shall be and remain the sole and exclusive property of the Company. During the Term, Employee shall not remove from the Company’s offices or premises any documents, records, notebooks,
files, correspondence, reports, memoranda or similar materials of or containing Proprietary Information, or other materials or property of any kind belonging to the Company unless necessary or appropriate in accordance with the duties and
responsibilities required by or appropriate for his Position and, in the event that such materials or property are removed, all of the foregoing shall be returned to their proper files or places of safekeeping as promptly as possible after the
removal shall serve its specific purpose. Employee shall not make, retain, remove and/or distribute any copies of any of the foregoing for any reason whatsoever except as may be necessary in the discharge of his assigned duties and shall not divulge
to any third person the nature of and/or contents of any of the foregoing or of any other oral or written information to which he may have access or with which for any reason he may become familiar, except as disclosure shall be necessary in the
performance of his duties; and upon the termination of his employment with the Company, he shall leave with or return to the Company all originals and copies of the foregoing then in his possession, whether prepared by Employee or by others.

 (b)(i) Employee agrees that all right, title and interest in and to any innovations, designs, systems, analyses, ideas for marketing
programs, and all copyrights, patents, trademarks and trade names, or similar intangible personal property which have been or are developed or created in whole or in part by Employee (1) at any time and at any place while the Employee is
employed by Company and which, in the case of any or all of the foregoing, are related to and used in connection with the Business of the Company, (2) as a result of tasks assigned to Employee by the Company, or (3) from the use of
premises or personal property (whether tangible or intangible) owned, leased or contracted for by the Company (collectively, the “Intellectual Property”), shall be and remain forever the sole and exclusive property of the Company. The
Employee shall promptly disclose to the Company all Intellectual Property, and the Employee shall have no claim for additional compensation for the Intellectual Property. 
  

 4 

 (ii) Employee acknowledges that all the Intellectual Property that is copyrightable shall be considered a
work made for hire under United States Copyright Law. To the extent that any copyrightable Intellectual Property may not be considered a work made for hire under the applicable provisions of the United States Copyright Law, or to the extent that,
notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, the Employee may retain an interest in any Intellectual Property that is not copyrightable, the Employee hereby irrevocably assigns and transfers to the Company any and all right, title, or interest that the
Employee may have in the Intellectual Property under copyright, patent, trade secret and trademark law, in perpetuity or for the longest period otherwise permitted by law, without the necessity of further consideration. The Company shall be entitled
to obtain and hold in its own name all copyrights, patents, trade secrets, and trademarks with respect thereto. 
 (iii) Employee further
agrees to reveal promptly all information relating to the same to an appropriate officer of the Company and to cooperate with the Company and execute such documents as may be necessary or appropriate (1) in the event that the Company desires to
seek copyright, patent or trademark protection, or other analogous protection, thereafter relating to the Intellectual Property, and when such protection is obtained, to renew and restore the same, or (2) to defend any opposition proceedings in
respect of obtaining and maintaining such copyright, patent or trademark protection, or other analogous protection. 
 (iv) In the event the
Company is unable after reasonable effort to secure Employee’s signature on any of the documents referenced in Section 7(b)(iii) hereof, whether because of Employee’s physical or mental incapacity or for any other reason whatsoever,
Employee hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Company and its duly authorized officers and agents as Employee’s agent and attorney in fact, to act for and in his behalf and stead to execute and file any such documents and to do all
other lawfully permitted acts to further the prosecution and issuance of any such copyright, patent or trademark protection, or other analogous protection, with the same legal force and effect as if executed by Employee. 
 8. Covenants. The Employee shall not, during the Term and thereafter for the Restricted Period (as defined below), do any of the following, directly or
indirectly, without the prior written consent of the Company: 
 (a) engage or participate in any business directly competitive with the
Company’s Business, or the business of any of the Company’s subsidiaries or affiliates, as same are conducted during the Term with respect to any period during the Term, or upon the termination of Employee’s employment hereunder with
respect to any period thereafter; 
 (b) become interested in (as owner, stockholder, lender, partner, co-venturer, director, officer,
employee, agent, consultant or otherwise) any person, firm, corporation, association or other entity engaged in any business that is directly competitive with the Business of the Company or the business of any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company,
or become interested in (as owner, stockholder, lender, partner, co-venturer, director, officer, employee, agent, consultant or otherwise) any portion of the business of any person, firm, corporation, association or other entity where such portion
of such business is competitive with the Business of the Company or the business of any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Employee may hold not more than one percent (1%) of the outstanding securities of any
class of any publicly traded securities of a company that is engaged in activities referenced in Section 8(a) hereof; 
  

 5 

 (c) influence or attempt to influence any licensee, strategic partner, supplier, or customer of the
Company or potential licensee, strategic partner, supplier or customer of the Company to terminate or modify any written or oral agreement or course of dealing with the Company; or 
 (d) influence or attempt to influence any person or entity to either (i) terminate or modify their employment, consulting, agency, distributorship or
other arrangement with the Company, or (ii) employ or retain, or arrange to have any other person or entity employ or retain, any person or entity that has been employed or retained by the Company as an employee, consultant, agent or
distributor of the Company at any time during the twelve (12) month period immediately preceding the termination of Employee’s employment hereunder. 
 For purposes of this Agreement, the Restricted Period shall constitute (as applicable) (i) the period, if any, that Employee shall receive severance as set forth in Section 9 hereof, (ii) in the event
Employee’s employment hereunder is terminated for cause pursuant to Section 9(b) hereof, a period of one (1) year following such termination, or (iii) in the event that Employee terminates this Agreement without Good Reason, so
long as the Company voluntarily pays severance to Employee (which the Company shall be under no obligation to do), for the period that Employee shall receive such severance, but in no event for a period longer than one (1) year. In the case of
(iii) above, Employee’s termination notice shall specify the name of any employer that Employee intends to accept employment with and the nature of the proposed position. Company shall render its decision whether or not to enforce the
Restricted Period and notify Employee thereof within thirty days of Employee’s notice of termination to Company. 
 An activity shall be
deemed “directly competitive” when there is a reasonable likelihood based on Employee’s actual possession (whether or not in tangible form) of technical information, trade secrets or confidential information of the Company or of any
subsidiary or affiliate of the Company or its business associates, the activity prohibited would result in the use of such technical or trade secret or confidential information. 
 9. Termination. Employee’s employment hereunder may be terminated during the Term upon the occurrence of any one of the events described in this Section 9. Upon termination, Employee shall be entitled
only to such compensation and benefits as described in this Section 9. 
 (a) Termination by Employee. Employee may terminate
Employee’s employment hereunder at any time, for Good Reason or without Good Reason, by written notice of the termination of his employment hereunder. For purposes of this Agreement, Good Reason shall mean the failure by the Company to pay in a
timely manner Base Salary or any other material form of compensation or material Benefit to be paid or provided to Employee which failure is not cured within ten (10) business days after notice to Company. In the event of a termination of

date of termination. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Cause” shall mean (i) any material breach of Employee’s employment obligations under this Agreement toward which there is no substantial progress to cure thirty
(30) days after Employee’s receipt of written notice of such breach from the Company, or (ii) Employee commits an act or omission which results in or is intended to result in gain or enrichment of Employee at the expense of Company;

	23.	Specific Enforcement Extension of Period. 

 (a)
Employee acknowledges that the restrictions contained in Sections 6, 7 and 8 hereof survive the termination of his employment, regardless of the reason, and are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate interests of the Company and its
subsidiaries and affiliates and that the Company would not have entered into this Agreement in the absence of such restrictions. Employee also acknowledges that any breach by him of Sections 6, 7 or 8 hereof will cause continuing and irreparable
injury to the Company for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy. The Employee shall not, in any action or proceeding to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement, assert the claim or defense that an adequate remedy at law
exists. In the event of such breach by Employee, the Company shall have the right to enforce the provisions of Sections 6, 7 and 8 of this Agreement by seeking injunctive or other relief in any court, and this Agreement shall not in any way limit
remedies of law or in equity otherwise available to the Company. If an action at law or in equity is necessary to enforce or interpret the terms of this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover, in addition to any other relief,
reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and disbursements. In the event that the provisions of Sections 6, 7 or 8 hereof should ever be adjudicated to exceed the time, geographic, or other limitations permitted by applicable law in any applicable
jurisdiction, then such provisions shall be deemed reformed in such jurisdiction to the maximum time, geographic, or other limitations permitted by applicable law. 
 (b) In the event that Employee shall be in breach of any of the restrictions contained in Section 8 hereof, then the Restricted Period shall be extended for a period of time equal to the period of time that
Employee is in breach of such restriction. 
 (c) In the event that Employee shall be in breach of any of the restrictions contained in
Sections 6, 7 or 8 hereof, Employee shall forfeit his right to any further payments pursuant to Section 9 (without limiting any other relief to which the Company may be entitled), but the release in the termination letter as described in
Section 10 will remain in full force and effect. 
 24. Consent to Suit. Any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall
be instituted in the U.S. District Court of the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, or if such court 
  

 12 

 does not have jurisdiction or will not accept jurisdiction, in any court of general jurisdiction in the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania, and the Employee hereby consents to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of such court and hereby waives any objection that the Employee may have to the laying of venue of any such proceeding and any claim or defense of inconvenient
forum. 
 25. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, and all of which
together shall be deemed to be one and the same instrument.
