4.1          Authorization, Governmental Consents and Compliance with Other Instruments.  All corporate action on the part of the Investor necessary for the authorization, execution and delivery of the Transaction Agreements and the performance of all obligations of the Investor thereunder has been taken or will be taken prior to the Closing.  The Transaction Agreements constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Investor, enforceable in accordance with their terms, except as such enforcement is limited by bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting creditor rights.  No consent, approval, order or authorization of, or registration, qualification, designation, declaration or filing with, any federal, state or local governmental authority on the part of the Investor is required in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreements.  The execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Agreements and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby will not result in any violation or be in conflict with or constitute, with or without the passage of time and giving of notice, either a default under any provision of the Investor’s corporate charter or By-laws or any instrument, judgment, order, writ, decree or contract to which the Investor is a party or by which it is bound.

4.2          Purchase Entirely for Own Account.  By the Investor’s execution of this Agreement, the Investor hereby confirms that the Shares will be acquired for investment for the Investor’s own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof, and the Investor has no present intention of selling, granting any participation, or otherwise distributing the Shares.  By executing this Agreement, the Investor further represents that the Investor does not have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or grant participation to such person or to any third person, with respect to any of the Shares.

4.3          Disclosure of Information.  The Investor has received all the information from the Company and its management that the Investor considers necessary or appropriate for deciding

whether to purchase the Shares hereunder.  The Investor further represents that it has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Company regarding the terms and conditions of the offering of the Shares.  The foregoing, however, does not limit or modify the representations and warranties of the Company in Section 3 of this Agreement.

4.4          Investment Experience and Accredited Investor Status.  The Investor either (i) is an accredited investor (as defined in Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act) or (ii) is not a United States Person as that term is defined in Regulation S of the Securities Act, as amended and is not acquiring the Common Shares for the account or benefit of any United States Person.  The Investor is an investor in securities of companies in the development stage and acknowledges that it is able to fend for itself, and bear the economic risk of its investment and has such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in the Shares hereunder.

4.5          Restricted Securities.  The Investor understands that the Shares, when issued, will be restricted securities under the federal securities laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a public offering and that under such laws and applicable regulations such securities may be resold without registration under the Securities Act only in certain limited circumstances, including pursuant to Regulation S and Rule 144 under the Securities Act.  In this connection, the Investor represents that it is familiar with Regulation S and Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as presently in effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the Securities Act.  Notwithstanding the provisions of this section, Company hereby agrees to register the subject securities pursuant to the terms and conditions contained in the Securities Registration terms And Conditions, which is attached hereto as Exhibit B, and incorporated into this Stock Purchase Agreement by reference thereto.

4.6          Further Limitations on Disposition.  Without in any way limiting the representations set forth above, the Investor further represents, warrants and agrees that it will not make any disposition of all or any portion of the Shares, except to an Affiliate, unless:

(a)           There is then in effect a registration statement under the Securities Act covering such proposed disposition and such disposition is made in accordance with such registration statement; or

(b)           The disposition is made pursuant to Rule 144 or Regulation S or similar provisions of federal securities laws as in effect from time to time; or

(c)           The Investor shall have notified the Company of the proposed disposition; and if requested by the Company, the Investor shall have furnished the Company with an opinion of counsel; reasonably satisfactory tot the Company, that such disposition will not require registration of such Shares under the Securities Act.

4.7          Legends.  It is understood that the certificates evidencing the Shares will bear legends to the effect of the following:

“These securities have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933.  They may not be sold, offered for sale, pledged or hypothecated in the absence of a registration statement in effect with respect to the securities under such Act or an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company that such registration is not required or unless sold pursuant to Regulation S or Rule 144 of such Act.”

“The securities evidenced by this certificate are subject to restrictions on transfer set forth in an agreement between the original purchaser thereof and the corporation, a copy of which agreement is on file at the principal executive offices of the corporation.”

1.3.3        Indemnification Procedure.

(a)           Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 1.3 of notice of the threat or commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party under this Section 1.3, promptly notify the indemnifying party in writing of the claim; but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party for contribution or otherwise under the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 1.3 or to the extent it is not prejudiced as a result of such failure:

(b)           In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party and such indemnified party seeks or intends to seek indemnity from an indemnifying party, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in, and, to the extent that it may wish, jointly with all other indemnifying parties similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party; provided, however, if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be a conflict between the positions of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party in conducting the defense of any such action or that there may be legal defenses available to it or other indemnified parties that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to assume such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties. Upon receipt of notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense of such action and approval by the indemnified party of counsel, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 1.3 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof unless;

(i)    the indemnified party shall have employed such counsel in connection with the assumption of legal defenses in accordance with the proviso to the preceding sentence (it being understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel, approved by such indemnifying party representing all of the indemnified parties who are parties to such action) or

(ii)   the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of action, in each of which cases the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel shall be at the expense of the indemnifying party. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 1.3, the Purchaser shall not be liable for any indemnification obligation under this Agreement in excess of the amount of gross proceeds received by the Purchaser from the sale of the Shares.

 

 

1.3.4        Contribution.  If the indemnification provided for in this Section 1.3 is required by its terms but is for any reason held to be unavailable to or otherwise insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under this Section 1.3 in respect to any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to in this Agreement, then each applicable indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to in this Agreement

(a)           in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the Purchaser from the placement of Common Stock or

(b)           if the allocation provided by clause (a) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (a) above but the relative fault of the Company and the Purchaser in connection with the statements or omissions or. inaccuracies in the representations and warranties in this Agreement that resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The respective relative benefits received by the Company on, the one hand and the Purchaser on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the amount paid by the Purchaser to the Company pursuant to this Agreement for the Shares purchased by the Purchaser that were sold pursuant to the Registration Statement bears to the difference (the “Difference”) between the amount the Purchaser paid for the Shares that were sold pursuant to’ the Registration Statement and the amount received by the Purchaser from such sale. The relative fault of the Company and the Purchaser shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact or the inaccurate or the alleged inaccurate representation or warranty relates to information supplied by the Company or by the Purchaser and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 1.3.3, any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with investigating or defending any action or claim,. The provisions set forth in Section 1.3.3 with respect to the notice of the threat or commencement of any threat or action shall apply if a claim for contribution is to be made under this Section 1.3.4; provided, however, that no additional notice shall be required with respect to any threat or action for which notice has been given under Section 1.3 for purposes of indemnification. The Company and the Purchaser agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 1.3 were determined solely by pro rata allocation (even if the Purchaser were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this paragraph. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 1.3, no Purchaser shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the Difference exceeds the amount of any damages that the Purchaser has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Purchaser’ obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 1.3 are several and not joint.

 

 

1.4           Termination of Conditions and Obligations.  The restrictions imposed by this Section 1 upon the transferability of the Shares shall cease and terminate as to any particular number of the Shares upon [***] or at such time as an opinion of counsel satisfactory in form and substance to the Company shall have been rendered to the effect that such conditions are not necessary in order to comply with the Securities Act.

1.5           Information Available.  So long as the Registration Statement is effective covering the resale of Shares owned by the Purchaser, the Company will furnish to the Purchaser;

(a)           as soon as practicable after available (but in the case of the Company’s Annual Report to Stockholders, within [***] after the end of each fiscal year of the Company), one copy of

(i)    its Annual Report to Stockholders (which Annual Report shall contain financial statements audited in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles by a national firm of certified public accountants);

(ii)   if not included in substance in the Annual Report to Stockholders, its Annual Report on Form 10-K;

(iii)  if not included in substance in its Quarterly Reports to Stockholders, its quarterly reports on Form 10-Q; and

(iv)  a full copy of the particular Registration Statement covering the Shares (the foregoing, in each case, excluding exhibits);

(v)   upon the request of the Purchaser, a reasonable number of copies of the Prospectus to supply to any other party requiring the Prospectus.

1.6           Rule 144 Information.  For two years after the date of this Agreement, the Company shall file all reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act, the Rules and Regulations and the Exchange Act and shall take such further action to the extent required to enable the Purchaser to sell the Shares pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act (as such rule may be amended from time to time).

1.7           Consultation Prior to the Issuance of Certain Securities.  The Company shall not sell or issue shares of Common Stock or any other security of the Company convertible, exercisable or exchangeable into shares of Common Stock, for a purchase, conversion, exercise or exchange price per share which is subject to adjustment based on the market price of the Common Stock at the time of conversion, exercise or exchange of such security into Common Stock, without first consulting the Purchaser immediately prior to the approval by the Company’s Board of Directors of such sale or issuance; provided, however, that (i) the Company’s obligation to enter into such consultations with the Purchaser shall be subject to the Purchaser entering into a nondisclosure agreement in form and substance appropriate for transactions of this nature, (ii) nothing in this Section 1.7 shall prohibit the Company from consummating any such transaction provided that it has

 

 

complied with the consultation provisions hereof and (iii) the provisions of this Section 1.7 shall not be applicable to transactions that are not effected for the purpose of raising capital.

B.            Depositor desires to avoid disclosure of its proprietary technology except under certain limited circumstances.

E.             The parties desire this Agreement to be supplementary to the License Agreement pursuant to ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ [Bankruptcy] Code, Section 365(n).

ARTICLE 1 — DEPOSITS

1.1           Obligation to Make Deposit. Upon the completion of the development agreed to by the parities in the September 27, 2002 Amendment to the OEM Agreement between UTStarcom and Interwave Communications International, Ltd. (the “License Agreement”), Depositor shall deliver to DSI the proprietary technology and other materials (“Deposit Materials”) required to be deposited pursuant to the terms and conditions of the License Agreement or, if the License Agreement does not identify the materials to be deposited with DSI, then such materials will be identified on Exhibit A. If Exhibit A is applicable, it is to be prepared and signed by Depositor and Preferred Beneficiary. DSI shall have no obligation with respect to the preparation, signing or delivery of Exhibit A.

1.2           Identification of Tangible Media. Prior to the delivery of the Deposit Materials to DSI, Depositor shall conspicuously label for identification each document, magnetic tape, disk, or other tangible media upon which the Deposit Materials are written or stored. Additionally, Depositor shall complete Exhibit B to this Agreement by listing each such tangible media by the item label description, the type of media and the quantity. Exhibit B shall be signed by Depositor and delivered to DSI with the Deposit Materials. Unless and until Depositor makes the initial deposit with DSI, DSI shall have no obligation with respect to this Agreement, except the obligation to notify the parties regarding the status of the account as required in Section 2.2 below.

 

 

1.3           Deposit Inspection. When DSI receives the Deposit Materials and Exhibit B, DSI will conduct a deposit inspection by visually matching the labeling of the tangible media containing the Deposit Materials to the item descriptions and quantity listed on Exhibit B.  In addition to the deposit inspection, Preferred Beneficiary may elect to cause a verification of the Deposit Materials in accordance with Section 1.6 below.

1.4           Acceptance of Deposit. At completion of the deposit inspection, if DSI determines that the labeling of the tangible media matches the item descriptions and quantity on Exhibit B, DSI will date and sign Exhibit B and mail a copy thereof to Depositor and Preferred Beneficiary. If DSI determines that the labeling does not match the item descriptions or quantity on Exhibit B, DSI will (a) note the discrepancies in writing on Exhibit B; (b) date and sign Exhibit B with the exceptions noted; and (c) mail a copy of Exhibit B to Depositor and Preferred Beneficiary. DSI’s acceptance of the deposit occurs upon the signing of Exhibit B by DSI.

1.5           Depositor’s Representations. Depositor represents as follows:

a.                                       Depositor lawfully possesses all of the Deposit Materials deposited with DSI;

1.6           Verification. Preferred Beneficiary shall have the right, at Preferred Beneficiary’s expense, to cause a verification of any Deposit Materials. Preferred Beneficiary shall notify Depositor and DSI of Preferred Beneficiary’s request for verification. Depositor shall have the right to be present at the verification. A verification determines, in different levels of detail, the accuracy, completeness, sufficiency and quality of the Deposit Materials. If a verification is elected after the Deposit Materials have been delivered to DSI, then only DSI, or at DSI’s election an independent person or company selected and supervised by DSI, may perform the verification.

1.7           Deposit Updates. Unless otherwise provided by the License Agreement, Depositor shall update the Deposit Materials within [***] of each release of a new version of the product which is subject to the License Agreement. Such updates will be added to the existing deposit. All deposit updates shall be listed on a new Exhibit B and Depositor shall sign the new Exhibit B. Each Exhibit B will be held and maintained separately within the escrow account. An independent record will be created which will document the activity for each Exhibit B.

All references in this Agreement to the Deposit Materials shall include the initial Deposit Materials and any updates.

7.3           Dispute Resolution. Any dispute relating to or arising from this Agreement shall be resolved by arbitration under the Commercial Rules of the American Arbitration Association. Three arbitrators shall be selected. The Depositor and Preferred Beneficiary shall each select one arbitrator and the two chosen arbitrators shall select the third arbitrator, or failing agreement on the selection of the third arbitrator, the American Arbitration Association shall select the third arbitrator.
