4.1 Disclaimer. NEITHER PARTY MAKES ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN SECTIONS 2 AND 3 ABOVE, AND EACH PARTY DISCLAIMS ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN SECTIONS 2 AND 3, NEITHER PARTY GIVES THE OTHER PARTY ANY ASSURANCE:

(A) REGARDING THE PATENTABILITY OF ANY CLAIMED INVENTION IN, OR THE VALIDITY OF, ANY PATENT, OR

(B) THAT THE MANUFACTURE, USE, SALE, OFFERING FOR SALE, IMPORTATION, EXPORTATION, OR OTHER DISTRIBUTION OF ANY PRODUCT OR SERVICE DISCLOSED AND CLAIMED IN ANY PATENT BY ANY RPX LICENSEE OR ANYONE ELSE WILL OR WILL NOT CONSTITUTE AN INFRINGEMENT OF SUCH RIGHTS OR ANY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS OF ANY OTHER PERSONS OR ENTITIES.

(b) In addition to any other remedies available to RPX, in the event that RPX shall have a claim under Section 4.2(a), RPX shall promptly notify Marathon in writing of the claim, action, suit, proceeding or other circumstances giving rise to the claim for indemnification (collectively, the “Underlying Claim”); provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall release Marathon of its indemnification obligations only to the extent that Marathon is prejudiced by such failure. Upon receipt of such notice of an Underlying Claim, Marathon may, by written notice to RPX delivered within twenty (20) business days after receiving such notice of the Underlying Claim, assume the sole defense and control of any third-party claim with its own counsel and at its own expense but shall allow RPX (or its applicable Affiliates) a reasonable opportunity to participate in the defense of such third-party claim with its own counsel and at its own expense. RPX (or its applicable Affiliates) may take any actions reasonably necessary to defend such third-party claim prior to the time that it receives a notice as contemplated by the preceding sentence. Marathon shall not settle any such claim other than for the payment of money without the prior written consent of RPX (or the applicable Affiliate), which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. RPX will provide Marathon, at Marathon’s expense, with all assistance, information and authority reasonably required for the defense and settlement of the Underlying Claim. In no event shall Marathon’s liability under this Section 4.2 exceed the cumulative amount actually paid by RPX to Marathon under (i) this Agreement, plus (ii) each of the Related Agreements.

4.3 Release.

(a) Subject to the terms of this Agreement and effective upon the Effective Date, Marathon shall automatically be deemed to, and hereby does, forever waive and release all Claims, if any, with respect to the Patents, known or unknown, that it may have against RPX, any RPX Affiliate, any RPX Licensee, or any other Entity granted a sublicense by RPX under the Patents in accordance with this Agreement or the Related Agreements. The foregoing notwithstanding, however, no release is given under the Patents made the subject of the Related Agreement with Relay and Sampo to any Entity that becomes an RPX Licensee after the Effective Date (including that Entity’s Affiliates) unless and until Marathon receives the required Expanded License Fee Payment with respect to any such Entity.

(b) Marathon understands and agrees that the releases set forth in Section 4.3(a) shall extend to any and all Claims with respect to the Patents described in Section 4.3(a) of every nature and kind whatsoever, whether such Claims are known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, and any and all rights that may exist under Section 1542 of the California Civil Code (“Section 1542”) within the scope of the release set forth in Section 4.3(a) are expressly waived. Marathon expressly acknowledges that it has read Section 1542, which provides as follows:

A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER, MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.

Marathon understands and agrees that Section 1542, if applicable herein, gives it the right not to release existing claims of which it is not now aware of and does not suspect to exist, unless it voluntarily chooses to waive this right. Even though Marathon is aware of this right, it nevertheless hereby voluntarily waives the right described in Section 1542, and elects to assume all risks for Claims with respect to the Patents that now exist in its favor, known or unknown, arising from the subject matter of the release set forth in Section 4.3(a), and expressly waives any rights under any other statutes or common law principles of similar effect. If, contrary to the specific intent of Marathon, any Claims with respect to the Patents released under Section 4.3(a) are deemed to exist or survive despite the releases given in Section 4.3(a) above, Marathon hereby forever, expressly and irrevocably waives entitlement to all such released Claims with respect to the Patents, known and unknown, prior to the Effective Date, and it is expressly agreed that the provisions of Section 1542 do not apply.

The Parties hereto agree that RPX, RPX Affiliates, and RPX Licensees, as licensees or sublicensees of rights granted in this Agreement and/or the Related Agreements, shall retain and may fully exercise all their rights and elections under the Bankruptcy Code.

Section 1.

Fees, Patent License and License Option

1.1 Fees. The Parties hereby acknowledge the existence of that Patent Rights Agreement entered into between Marathon Patent Group, Inc. and RPX, dated March __, 2014, (the “Patent Rights Agreement”), and hereby acknowledge the receipt and sufficiency of good and valuable consideration (the “License Fee”) for all terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

1.2 Patent License and License Option.

(a) Effective upon RPX’s payment to Licensor of the License Fee, Licensor shall automatically be deemed to grant, and does hereby grant, to RPX the Patent License, which Patent License shall include:

(i) the exclusive and irrevocable right of RPX, beginning on the Effective Date, to grant sublicenses under the Patent License to all RPX Members; and

(ii) the non-exclusive and irrevocable right of RPX, beginning on the Effective Date and continuing for the twelve (12) month period thereafter, to grant sublicenses under the Patent License to each of the Option Companies; provided, that RPX has paid to Licensor the applicable Expanded License Fee Payment for each such sublicense granted under this Section 1.2(a)(ii); provided further, that RPX’s right in this Section 1.2(a)(ii) shall expire with respect to a particular Option Company on the later of (A) twelve (12) months from the Effective Date; or (B) six (6) months from the date that such Option Company is named for the first time in a Licensor Litigation.

The Patent License shall also include the express right of RPX to release the foregoing sublicensees from all claims for damages for past, present and future infringement of the Patents. Upon the Effective Date, any Entity that is granted a sublicense by RPX (directly or indirectly) in accordance with Section 1.2(a) shall be deemed an “RPX Licensee” for purposes of this Agreement. Furthermore, upon RPX’s payment of any Expanded License Fee Payment, as applicable, any Entity that is granted a sublicense by RPX (directly or indirectly) in accordance with Section 1.2(a)(ii) shall also be deemed an “RPX Licensee” for purposes of this Agreement. The definition of “RPX Licensee” expressly excludes any future members that join RPX after the Effective Date (other than with respect to Option Companies where RPX has paid the Expanded License Fee Payment), except with respect to any Entity that become an Affiliate of any RPX Member or Entity that was granted a sublicense under the Patent License in accordance with this Section 1.2(a).

(b) Within ten (10) business days of the Effective Date, Licensor shall immediately complete the Release and Dismissal Obligations with respect to any RPX Members and their Affiliates that are or were Licensor Litigation Defendants, including each of their respective Affiliates. Upon RPX providing Licensor with written notice that RPX has granted a sublicense to any Option Company pursuant to Section 1.2(a)(ii) and paying Licensor the applicable Expanded License Fee Payment for such Option Company, Licensor shall immediately complete the Release and Dismissal Obligations with respect to such Option Company (including any respective Affiliates) in the event such Option Company or any of its Affiliates is a Licensor Litigation Defendant.

(c) The sublicense (and release) that RPX grants in accordance with Section 1.2(a) to any Entity under the Patent License shall be deemed to be a further sublicense (and release) to that Entity’s Affiliates (“RPX Licensee Affiliates”), and such RPX Licensees’ and RPX Licensee Affiliates’ direct and indirect customers, have-made vendors, developers, distributors, suppliers, other contractors, licensees, and end users solely to the extent such third parties make, have made, use, purchase, provide, host, sell, lease, distribute, supply, export, import, or offer for sale any Licensed Product and Service (each, a “Covered Third Party”). Each RPX Licensee shall have the right, consistent with this Section 1.2(c), to grant specific non-sublicensable, non-assignable sublicenses to its Covered Third Parties with respect to such RPX Licensee’s or its Affiliates’ Licensed Products and Services.

(b) it has good and marketable title to the Patents (including, without limitation, all right, title, and interest in the Patents and the right to sue for past, present and future infringements thereof); Licensor has the legal right to grant the Patent License set forth in Section 1.2 to RPX, and, subject to confidentiality provisions (if applicable), it has provided to RPX accurate and complete copies of all agreements under which it obtained by assignment or otherwise such title to the Patents;

(c) the Patents are not subject to any licenses, covenants not to sue, liens, security interests, or other encumbrances that would impair the rights granted hereunder, and, to the best of Licensor’s knowledge, except for the Patent License granted in Section 1 of this Agreement and any licenses, covenants not to sue, liens, security interests, settlement agreements or other encumbrances identified in Exhibit F attached hereto, the Patents are not subject to any licenses, covenants not to sue, liens, security interests, or other encumbrances;

(d) to the best of Licensor’s knowledge, the inventions and discoveries described in the Patents were made solely by the inventor(s) named in the Patents, without misappropriation of any trade secrets, confidential information, or other rights of any person, and no other party has any rights with respect to any such inventions or to the Patents;

(e) all maintenance fees, annuities and other payments owed to the PTO or any foreign patent office in connection with the Patents have been timely paid and are current as of the Effective Date;

(h) performance of this Agreement does not and will not conflict with or result in a breach of any agreement to which it is bound;

[*] CERTAIN PORTIONS OF THIS EXHIBIT HAVE BEEN OMITTED BASED UPON A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT AND THE NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION HAS BEEN FILED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.

A-7

(B) THAT THE MANUFACTURE, USE, SALE, OFFERING FOR SALE, IMPORTATION, EXPORTATION, OR OTHER DISTRIBUTION OF ANY LICENSED PRODUCT AND SERVICE DISCLOSED AND CLAIMED IN ANY PATENT BY ANY LICENSEE, SUBLICENSEE OR ANYONE ELSE WILL OR WILL NOT CONSTITUTE AN INFRINGEMENT OF SUCH RIGHTS OR ANY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS OF ANY OTHER PERSONS OR ENTITIES.

4.2. Indemnification.

(a) Licensor shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless RPX and its Affiliates, and their directors, officers, agents and employees from and against any and all actual or pending claims, losses, expenses damages or other liabilities (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), including those incurred in any dispute between the Parties, arising from Licensor’s breach under this Section 4.2(a)), with any third party, or in any enforcement of this provision, arising out of, relating to, or based upon Licensor’s or any of its Affiliates’ material breach of any representation, warranty or covenant in this Agreement.

(b) In addition to any other remedies available to RPX, in the event RPX shall have a claim under Section 4.2(a), RPX shall promptly notify Licensor in writing of the claim, action, suit, proceeding or other circumstances giving rise to the claim for indemnification (collectively, the “Underlying Claim”); provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall release Licensor of its indemnification obligations only to the extent that Licensor is prejudiced by such failure. Upon receipt of such notice of an Underlying Claim, Licensor may, by written notice to RPX delivered within thirty (30) business days of receiving such notice of the Underlying Claim, assume the sole defense and control of any third-party claim with its own counsel and at its own expense but shall allow RPX (or its applicable Affiliates) a reasonable opportunity to participate in the defense of such third-party claim with its own counsel and at its own expense. RPX (or its applicable Affiliates) may take any actions reasonably necessary to defend such third-party claim prior to the time that it receives a notice as contemplated by the preceding sentence. Licensor shall not settle any such claim other than for the payment of money without the prior written consent of RPX (or the applicable Affiliate), which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. RPX will provide Licensor, at Licensor’s expense, with all assistance, information and authority reasonably required for the defense and settlement of the Underlying Claim. Licensor's total liability under this Section 4.2 shall be limited to amounts received by Licensor under this Agreement plus the Patent Rights Agreement.

4.3 Release.

(a) Effective upon the Effective Date, Licensor shall automatically be deemed to, and does hereby, forever waive and release all Claims, known or unknown, that Licensor may have against RPX, any RPX Affiliate, any RPX Member, any RPX Licensee, or any other Entity granted a sublicense under the Patents in accordance with Section 1.2.

(b) Licensor understands and agrees that the releases set forth in Section 4.3(a) shall extend to any and all Claims described in Section 4.3(a) of every nature and kind whatsoever, whether such Claims are known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, and any and all rights that may exist under Section 1542 of the California Civil Code (“Section 1542”) within the scope of the release set forth in Section 4.3(a) are expressly waived. Licensor expressly acknowledges that it has read Section 1542, which provides as follows:

[*] CERTAIN PORTIONS OF THIS EXHIBIT HAVE BEEN OMITTED BASED UPON A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT AND THE NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION HAS BEEN FILED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.

A-8

Licensor understands and agrees that Section 1542, if applicable herein, gives it the right not to release existing claims of which it is not now aware of and does not suspect to exist, unless it voluntarily chooses to waive this right. Even though Licensor is aware of this right, it nevertheless hereby voluntarily waives the right described in Section 1542, and elects to assume all risks for Claims with respect to the Patents that now exist in its favor, known or unknown, arising from the subject matter of the release set forth in Section 4.3(a), and expressly waives any rights under any other statutes or common law principles of similar effect. If, contrary to the specific intent of Licensor, any Claims with respect to the Patents released under Section 4.3(a) are deemed to exist or survive despite the releases given in Section 4.3(a) above, Licensor hereby forever, expressly and irrevocably waives entitlement to all such released Claims with respect to the Patents, known and unknown, prior to the Effective Date, and it is expressly agreed that the provisions of Section 1542 do not apply.

Section 5. Miscellaneous

5.1 Binding Effect and Assignment. This Agreement shall not be binding upon the Parties until it has been signed herein below by or on behalf of each Party. This Agreement shall be binding on, and shall inure to the benefit of, the Parties hereto and their respective Affiliates, successors and assigns.

The Patent License and any sublicenses granted and/or included therein pursuant to Section 1.2 are for the benefit of RPX, RPX Licensees, RPX Licensee Affiliates, and each of their respective Covered Third Parties, and RPX and RPX Licensees can legally enforce such licenses and sublicenses, as well as the terms of this Agreement, against Licensor.

5.10 Licenses of Intellectual Property. All rights, licenses and releases granted by Licensor directly or indirectly to RPX, RPX Affiliates, RPX Members, and RPX Licensees (including each such Entity’s Affiliates) are, and shall otherwise be deemed to be, for the purpose of Section 365(n) of the United States Bankruptcy Code, as amended (the “Bankruptcy Code”), licenses of rights to “intellectual property” as defined under Section 101 of the Bankruptcy Code. The Parties hereto agree that RPX, RPX Affiliates, RPX Members, and RPX Licensees (including each such Entity’s Affiliates), as licensees or sublicensees of rights granted in this Agreement, shall retain and may fully exercise all their rights and elections under the Bankruptcy Code. The Parties hereto further agree that, in the event that any proceeding shall be instituted by or against Licensor seeking to adjudicate it as 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 for relief or the appointment of a receiver, trustee or other similar official for it or any substantial part of its property or it shall take any action to authorize any of the foregoing actions, the opposite Parties shall have the right to retain and enforce their rights under this Agreement, provided that they remain in full compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

5.13 Termination and Survival. Those provisions that by their nature are intended to survive termination or expiration of this Agreement shall so survive. For the avoidance of doubt, the Patent License granted by Licensor to RPX hereunder, RPX’s right to grant sublicenses in accordance with Section 1, all sublicenses granted by RPX in accordance with Section 1, and all releases and covenants given by Licensor shall survive termination or expiration of this Agreement.
