| Item 1.01 | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
On October 15, 2015, Vringo, Inc. (the “Company”)
entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with, and completed the acquisition of, International
Development Group Limited, a Maryland corporation (“IDG”), each of the holders of the capital stock of IDG (the “Sellers”)
and the Sellers’ representative.
Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the
Company acquired 100% of the capital stock of IDG, including two of IDG’s subsidiaries, fliCharge International Ltd., in
which IDG owns 70% of the capital stock and controls the operations, and the wholly-owned Group Mobile International Ltd. fliCharge
owns patented conductive wire-free charging technology and is focused on innovation, sales, manufacturing and licensing core technology
to large corporations in various industries. Group Mobile is a company with full service technical and customer support in rugged
computers, mobile devices and accessories.
In consideration for the acquisition, the
Company issued an aggregate of 1,609,167 shares of the Company’s newly designated Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series
B Preferred Stock”), par value $0.01 per share, of which 1,604,167 shares were issued to the Sellers and 5,000 shares were
issued to IDG’s legal counsel as compensation. In addition, 240,625 shares of Series B Preferred Stock will be held in escrow
to secure certain of the Sellers’ indemnity obligations under the Purchase Agreement for a period of up to 12 months. The
1,609,167 shares of Series B Preferred Stock are convertible into an aggregate of 16,091,670 shares of the Company’s common
stock, par value $0.01 per share. In addition, the Company has issued to one of the Sellers 575,000 shares of the Company’s
unregistered common stock in consideration of his forgiveness of debt.
The shares of Series B Preferred Stock were
issued pursuant to the terms of the Certificate of Designations of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of Series B Convertible
Preferred Stock (the “Certificate of Designations”), filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware at
closing. A summary of the material terms of the Series B Preferred Stock is set forth below.
Designation. The Company has designated
1,609,167 shares of Series B Preferred Stock.
Dividends. The holders of the Series
B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive dividends and distributions made to the Company’s holders of common stock,
pro rata to the holders of common stock on an as-converted basis.
Liquidation Preference. Upon liquidation
event (as defined in the Certificate of Designations), any remaining assets of the Company shall be distributed pro rata to the
holders of common stock and the holders of Series B Preferred Stock on an as-converted basis.
Voting. The Series B Preferred Stock
has voting rights pursuant to which each issued and outstanding share of share of Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to
the number of votes equal to the number of shares of common stock into which each such share of Series B Preferred Stock is convertible.
Conversion. The Series B Preferred
Stock will automatically be converted into the Company’s shares of common stock immediately upon (i) the Company’s
authorized shares of common stock being increased to an amount sufficient to allow the Company to convert all shares of Series
B Preferred Stock then outstanding into shares of common stock or (ii) the number of issued and outstanding shares of common stock
and shares reserved for issuance being reduced to an amount sufficient to allow the Company to convert all shares of Series B Preferred
Stock then outstanding into shares of common stock. If the automatic conversion does not occur at the Company’s upcoming
annual meeting, then each share of Series B Preferred Stock shall automatically be converted into shares of common stock, up to
and to the extent that the Company has authorized shares that are not reserved for other issuances. Each share of Series B Preferred
Stock will be convertible into a fixed conversion rate of 10 shares of common stock per one share of Series B Preferred Stock,
subject to certain adjustments.
The Purchase Agreement also contains representations,
warranties and covenants customary for transactions of this type.

which the Holder would have been entitled to receive had such Holder converted the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock in full
(without regard to any limitations on conversion) immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction. The provisions of this Section
shall apply similarly and equally to successive Fundamental Transactions and shall be applied without regard to any limitations
on the conversion of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock.
5. Voting
Rights.
(a) General.
Each issued and outstanding share of share of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall be entitled to the number of votes equal
to the number of shares of Common Stock into which each such share of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible (as
adjusted from time to time pursuant to Section 4 hereof).
(b) Series
B Convertible Preferred Stock Protective Provisions. In addition to any other rights provided by law, the Corporation shall
not and shall not permit any direct or indirect Subsidiary (as defined below) of the Corporation to, without first obtaining the
affirmative vote or written consent of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock:
(i) increase
the authorized number of shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock; or
(ii) amend,
alter or repeal the preferences, special rights or other powers of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock so as to affect adversely
the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock.
6. Conversion.
Each share of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall automatically be converted into shares of Common Stock immediately upon
(i) the Corporation’s authorized shares of Common Stock being increased to an amount sufficient to allow the Corporation
to convert all shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock then outstanding into shares of Common Stock or (ii) the number
of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock and shares reserved for issuance being reduced to an amount sufficient to allow
the Corporation to convert all shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock then outstanding into shares of Common Stock (each,
a “Series B Automatic Conversion Event”). If a Series B Automatic Conversion Event does not occur following
the Corporation’s Annual Meeting scheduled to be held on November 16, 2015 (as such date may be extended pursuant to any
adjournments of such meeting), then each share of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall automatically be converted into shares
of Common Stock, up to and to the extent that the Corporation has authorized shares that are not reserved for other issuances
(the “Partial Conversion Event”). The number of shares to be converted pursuant to the Partial Conversion Event
shall be allocated pro rata among the Holders based on the number of shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock held by each
Holder at the time of the Partial Conversion Event. Upon the occurrence of a Series B Automatic Conversion Event or Partial Conversion
Event, the applicable shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall be automatically converted into the number of shares of Common
Stock into which such shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock are then convertible pursuant to this Section 6 without any
further action by any holder of such shares and whether or not the certificate(s) representing such shares are surrendered to
the Corporation or its transfer agent.
(a) Certain
definitions. For purposes of this Certificate of Designation, the following definitions shall apply:
(i) "Bloomberg"
means Bloomberg Financial Markets.
(ii) "Conversion
Amount" means the Stated Value.
(iii) "Conversion
Price" means $0.60, subject to adjustment as provided herein.
(iv) "Subsidiary"
means, with respect to the Corporation, any entity in which the Corporation, directly or indirectly, owns any of the capital stock
or holds an equity or similar interest.
(b) Conversion.
The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of each share of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock pursuant to
this Section 6 shall be determined by multiplying each such share of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock by the fraction set
forth below (the "Conversion Rate"):
Conversion
Amount
Conversion Price
No
fractional shares of Common Stock are to be issued upon the conversion of any Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, but rather
the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued shall be rounded up to the nearest whole number.
The
applicable Conversion Rate and Conversion Price from time to time in effect is subject to adjustment as hereinafter provided.
(c) Mechanics
of Conversion. The conversion of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall be conducted in the following manner:
(i) Upon
the occurrence of a Series B Automatic Conversion Event or if a Partial Conversion Event is to occur and in any event within ten
(10) days after receipt of notice, by mail, postage prepaid from the Corporation of the occurrence of such event, each holder
of record of shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock being converted shall (A) transmit by facsimile (or otherwise deliver)
a copy of a properly completed notice of conversion executed by the registered Holder of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock
subject to such conversion in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I (the "Conversion Notice") to the Corporation
and if the Corporation has appointed a registered transfer agent, the Corporation’s registered transfer agent (the "Transfer
Agent") (if the Corporation does not have a registered transfer agent, references hereto to the "Transfer Agent"
shall be deemed to be references to the Corporation) and (B) if required by Section 6(c)(iv), surrender to a common carrier for
delivery to the Corporation as soon as practicable following such date the original certificates representing the Series B Convertible
Preferred Stock being converted (or compliance with the procedures set forth in Section 9) (the "Preferred Stock Certificates").
(ii) Corporation's
Response. Upon receipt by the Corporation of a copy of a Conversion Notice, the Corporation shall (A) as soon as practicable,
but in any event within three (3) Trading Days, send, via facsimile, a confirmation of receipt of such Conversion Notice to such
Holder and the Transfer Agent, if applicable, which confirmation shall constitute an instruction to the Transfer Agent to process
such Conversion Notice in accordance with the terms herein and (B) on or before the third (3rd) Trading Day following
the date of receipt by the Corporation of such Conversion Notice (the "Share Delivery Date"), (1) provided the
Transfer Agent is participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, credit such aggregate number of shares
of Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled to the Holder's or its designee's balance account with DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal
At Custodian system, or (2) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program,
issue and deliver to the address as specified in the Conversion Notice, a certificate, registered in the name of the Holder or
its designee, for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled. If the number of shares of Series
B Convertible Preferred Stock represented by the Preferred Stock Certificate(s) submitted for conversion pursuant to a Partial
Conversion Event, as may be required pursuant to Section 6(c)(iv), is greater than the number of shares of Series B Convertible
Preferred Stock being converted, then the Corporation shall or shall direct the Transfer Agent, as soon as practicable and in
no event later than three (3) Business Days after receipt of the Preferred Stock Certificate(s) (the "Preferred Stock
Delivery Date") and at its own expense, issue and deliver to the Holder a new Preferred Stock Certificate representing
the number of shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock not converted or it shall direct the Transfer Agent to update the
Holder’s account to reflect the number of shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock not converted.
(iii) Corporation's
Failure to Timely Convert.
(A) Cash
Damages. If within three (3) Trading Days after the Corporation's receipt of the facsimile copy of a Conversion Notice the
Corporation shall fail to credit a Holder's balance account with DTC or issue and deliver a certificate to such Holder for the
number of shares of Common Stock to which such Holder is entitled upon such Holder's conversion of Series B Convertible Preferred
Stock (a "Conversion Failure"), and if on or after such Trading Day the Holder purchases (in an open market transaction
or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the shares of Common Stock issuable
upon such conversion that the Holder anticipated receiving from the Corporation (a "Buy-In"), then the Corporation
shall, within three (3) Trading Days after the Holder's request and in the Holder's discretion, either (i) pay cash to the Holder
in an amount equal to the Holder's total purchase price (including brokerage commissions and out-of-pocket expenses, if any) for
the shares of Common Stock so purchased (the "Buy-In Price"), at which point the Corporation's obligation to
deliver such certificate (and to issue such Common Stock) shall terminate, or (ii) promptly honor its obligation to deliver to
the Holder a certificate or certificates representing such Common Stock and pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the excess
(if any) of the Buy-In Price over the product of (A) such number of shares of Common Stock, times (B) the Closing Sale Price on
the Conversion Date. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder's right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law
or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Corporation's
failure to timely deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the Series B Convertible Preferred
Stock as required pursuant to the terms hereof.
(iv) Book-Entry.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, upon conversion of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock in accordance
with the terms hereof, the Holder thereof shall not be required to physically surrender the Preferred Stock Certificate unless
(A) the full or remaining number of shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock represented by the Preferred Stock Certificate
are being converted, in which case the Holder shall deliver such Preferred Stock Certificate to the Corporation promptly following
such conversion, or (B) a Holder has provided the Corporation with prior written notice (which notice may be included in a Conversion
Notice) requesting reissuance of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock upon physical surrender of any Series B Convertible Preferred
Stock. The Holder and the Corporation shall maintain records showing the number of shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock
so converted and the dates of such conversions or shall use such other method, reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and the Corporation,
so as not to require physical surrender of the certificate representing the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock upon each such
conversion. In the event of any dispute or discrepancy, such records of the Corporation establishing the number of shares of Series
B Convertible Preferred Stock to which the record holder is entitled shall be controlling and determinative in the absence of
manifest error. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Series B Convertible Preferred Stock represented by a certificate are converted
as aforesaid, a Holder may not transfer the certificate representing the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock unless such Holder
first physically surrenders the certificate representing the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock to the Corporation, whereupon
the Corporation will forthwith issue and deliver upon the order of such Holder a new certificate of like tenor, registered as
such Holder may request, representing in the aggregate the remaining number of shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock
represented by such certificate. A Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of a
certificate, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following conversion of any Series B Convertible
Preferred Stock, the number of shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock represented by such certificate may be less than
the number of shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock stated on the face thereof. Each certificate for Series B Convertible
Preferred Stock shall bear the following legend:
THIS
SECURITY HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”)
OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY U.S. STATE, NOR IS ANY SUCH REGISTRATION CONTEMPLATED. THIS SECURITY MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD OR
OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR AN APPLICABLE EXEMPTION THEREFROM.
(d) Reservation
of Shares.
(i) The
Corporation shall, upon the happening of the Series B Automatic Conversion Event, reserve and keep available out of its authorized
but unissued stock, for the purposes of effecting the conversion of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, such number of its
duly authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding
Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Required Reserve Amount"). The initial number of shares of Common
Stock reserved for conversions of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and each increase in the number of shares so reserved
shall be allocated pro rata among the Holders based on the number of shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock held by each
Holder at the time of issuance of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock or increase in the number of reserved shares, as the
case may be (the "Authorized Share Allocation"). In the event a Holder shall sell or otherwise transfer any of
such Holder's Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, each transferee shall be allocated a pro rata portion of the number of reserved
shares of Common Stock reserved for such transferor. Any shares of Common Stock reserved and allocated to any Person which ceases
to hold any Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (other than pursuant to a transfer of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock in
accordance with the immediately preceding sentence) shall be allocated to the remaining Holders of Series B Convertible Preferred
Stock, pro rata based on the number of shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock then held by such Holders. Before taking
any action that would cause an adjustment reducing the Conversion Price below the then par value of the shares of Common Stock
issuable upon conversion of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, the Corporation will take any corporate action that may,
in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary in order that the Corporation may validly and legally issue fully-paid and nonassessable
shares of such Common Stock at such adjusted conversion price.
(e) Dispute
Resolution. In the case of a dispute as to the arithmetic calculation of the Conversion Rate, the Corporation shall issue
to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that is not disputed and shall transmit an explanation of the disputed determinations
or arithmetic calculations to the Holder via facsimile within one (1) Business Day of receipt of such Holder's Conversion Notice
or other date of determination. If such Holder and the Corporation are unable to agree upon the determination of the arithmetic
calculation of the Conversion Rate within two (2) Business Days of such disputed determination or arithmetic calculation being
transmitted to the Holder, then the Corporation shall within one (1) Business Day submit via facsimile the disputed arithmetic
calculation of the Conversion Rate to any "big four" international accounting firm. The Corporation shall cause, at
the Corporation's expense (unless the accounting firm determines in favor of the Corporation, in which case the Holder shall be
responsible for such expense), the accountant to perform the determinations or calculations and notify the Corporation and the
Holders of the results no later than five (5) Business Days from the time it receives the disputed determinations or calculations.
Such accountant's determination or calculation, as the case may be, shall be binding upon all parties absent error.
(f) Record
Holder. The Person or Persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon a conversion of Series B Convertible
Preferred Stock shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock on the Conversion
Date.
(g) Effect
of Conversion. All shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock which shall have been surrendered for conversion as herein
provided shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding and all rights with respect to such shares, including the rights, if any,
to receive notices and to vote, shall forthwith cease and terminate except only the right of the holder thereof to receive shares
of Common Stock in exchange therefor and payment of any accrued but unpaid dividends thereon (whether or not declared). Subject
to Section 6(c)(iii)(B), any shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock so converted shall be retired and canceled and shall
not be reissued, and the Corporation may from time to time take such appropriate action as may be necessary to reduce the authorized
Series B Convertible Preferred Stock accordingly.
(h) Transfer
Taxes. The issuance of certificates for shares of the Common Stock on conversion of this Series B Convertible Preferred Stock
shall be made without charge to the Holder hereof for any documentary stamp or similar taxes that may be payable in respect of
the issue or delivery of such certificates, provided that the Corporation shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable
in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any such certificate upon conversion in a name other than
that of the Holder of such shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock so converted and the Corporation shall not be required
to issue or deliver such certificates unless or until the person or persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to
the Corporation the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Corporation that such tax has been
paid.
7. Anti-Dilution
Provisions. The Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in accordance with this Section 7.
(a) Certain
Definitions. For purposes of this Certificate of Designations, the following definitions shall apply:
(i) "Convertible
Securities" means any stock or securities (other than Options) directly or indirectly convertible into or exchangeable
or exercisable for Common Stock.
(ii) "Options"
means any rights, warrants or options to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock or Convertible Securities.
(iii) "Principal
Market" means the Eligible Market that is the principal securities exchange market for the Common Stock.
(b) Adjustment
of Conversion Price upon Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock. If the Corporation at any time after the Initial Issuance
Date subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) its outstanding shares of Common Stock into
a greater number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced.
If the Corporation at any time after the Initial Issuance Date combines (by combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) its
outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such combination
will be proportionately increased.
(c) Notices.
(i) Immediately
upon any adjustment of the Conversion Rate and Conversion Price pursuant to Section 7 hereof, the Corporation will give written
notice thereof sent by mail, first class, postage prepaid to each Holder at its address appearing on the stock register, setting
forth in reasonable detail, and certifying, the calculation of such adjustment. In the case of a dispute as to the determination
of such adjustment, then such dispute shall be resolved in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 6(e).
(ii) Except
as otherwise required by law, the Corporation will give written notice to each Holder at least ten (10) Business Days prior to
the date on which the Corporation closes its books or takes a record (I) with respect to any dividend or distribution upon the
Common Stock, (II) with respect to any pro rata subscription offer to holders of Common Stock or (III) for determining rights
to vote with respect to any Twenty Percent Issuance, any Fundamental Transaction or any Liquidation Event.
(iii) The
Corporation will also give written notice to each Holder at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the date on which any Twenty
Percent Issuance, any Fundamental Transaction or any Liquidation Event will take place.
8. Status
of Converted Stock. In the event any shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall be converted pursuant to Section
6 hereof, the shares so converted shall be canceled and shall not be issuable by the Corporation.
9. Lost
or Stolen Certificates. Upon receipt by the Corporation of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation of the loss,
theft, destruction or mutilation of any Series B Convertible Preferred Stock Certificates representing the Series B Convertible
Preferred Stock, and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of an indemnification undertaking (with surety, if reasonably
requested by the Corporation) by the holder thereof to the Corporation in customary form and, in the case of mutilation, upon
surrender and cancellation of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock Certificate(s), the Corporation shall execute and deliver
new preferred stock certificate(s) of like tenor and date; provided, however, the Corporation shall not be obligated
to re-issue preferred stock certificates if the holder contemporaneously requests the Corporation to convert such Series B Convertible
Preferred Stock into Common Stock.
10. Remedies,
Characterizations, Other Obligations, Breaches and Injunctive Relief. The remedies provided in this Certificate of Designation
shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available under this Certificate of Designation, at law or in equity
(including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief). No remedy contained herein shall be deemed a waiver
of compliance with the provisions giving rise to such remedy. Nothing herein shall limit a holder of Series B Convertible Preferred
Stock's right to pursue actual damages for any failure by the Corporation to comply with the terms of this Certificate of Designation.
The Corporation covenants to each holder of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock that there shall be no characterization concerning
this instrument other than as expressly provided herein. Amounts set forth or provided for herein with respect to payments, conversion
and the like (and the computation thereof) shall be the amounts to be received by the holder of Series B Convertible Preferred
Stock thereof and shall not, except as expressly provided herein, be subject to any other obligation of the Corporation (or the
performance thereof). The Corporation acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm
to the holders of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and that the remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate. The Corporation
therefore agrees that, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach, the holders of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock
shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any breach, without the necessity
of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.
11. Notice.
Whenever notice or other communication is required to be given hereunder, unless otherwise provided herein, such notice shall
be given in accordance with contact information provided by each Holder to the Corporation and set forth in the register for the
Series B Convertible Preferred Stock maintained by the Corporation as set forth in Section 14.
12.
Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver. No failure or delay on the part of any holder of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock
in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial
exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right, power or privilege.
13. Transfer
of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock. A Holder may assign some or all of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and the
accompanying rights hereunder held by such Holder without the consent of the Corporation; provided that such assignment
is in compliance with applicable securities laws.
14. Series
B Convertible Preferred Stock Register. The Corporation shall maintain at its principal executive offices (or such other office
or agency of the Corporation as it may designate by notice to the Holders), a register for the Series B Convertible Preferred
Stock, in which the Corporation shall record the name and address of the persons in whose name the Series B Convertible Preferred
Stock have been issued, as well as the name and address of each transferee. The Corporation may treat the person in whose name
any Series B Convertible Preferred Stock is registered on the register as the owner and holder thereof for all purposes, notwithstanding
any notice to the contrary, but in all events recognizing any properly made transfers.
15. Stockholder
Matters. Any stockholder action, approval or consent required, desired or otherwise sought by the Corporation pursuant to
the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”), this Certificate of Designation or otherwise with respect to
the issuance of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock or the Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof may be effected
by written consent of the Corporation's stockholders or at a duly called meeting of the Corporation's stockholders, all in accordance
with the applicable rules and regulations of the DGCL and the applicable provisions hereof. This provision is intended to comply
with the applicable sections of the DGCL permitting stockholder action, approval and consent affected by written consent in lieu
of a meeting.
16. General
Provisions. In addition to the above provisions with respect to Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, such Series B Convertible
Preferred Stock shall be subject to and be entitled to the benefit of the provisions set forth in the Certificate of Incorporation
of the Corporation with respect to preferred stock of the Corporation generally.
17. Disclosure.
Upon receipt or delivery by the Corporation of any notice in accordance with the terms of this Certificate of Designation, unless
the Corporation has in good faith determined that the matters relating to such notice do not constitute material, nonpublic information
relating to the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries, the Corporation shall within one (1) Business Day after any such receipt
or delivery publicly disclose such material, nonpublic information on a Current Report on Form 8-K or otherwise. In the event
that the Corporation believes that a notice contains material, nonpublic information relating to the Corporation or its Subsidiaries,
the Corporation so shall indicate to the Holders contemporaneously with delivery of such notice, and in the absence of any such
indication, the Holders shall be allowed to presume that all matters relating to such notice do not constitute material, nonpublic
information relating to the Corporation or its Subsidiaries.

VRINGO, INC.
Form Common Stock Warrant
Vringo, Inc.
(the “Company”), for value received, hereby certifies that _____________, or its registered assigns (the “Registered
Holder”), is entitled, subject to the terms of this Common Stock Warrant (the “Warrant”) set forth
below, to purchase from the Company, at any time after the date hereof and on or before April 15, 2021 (the “Expiration
Date”), up to ____________ shares of common stock of the Company (the “Warrant Stock”), par value
$0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), at a per share exercise price (the “Exercise Price”)
equal to fifty cents ($0.50) per share (subject to adjustment as set forth in Section 2).
1. Exercise.
(a) Method of
Exercise. This Warrant may be exercised by the Registered Holder, in whole or in part, by delivering the form appended
hereto as Exhibit A duly executed by such Registered Holder (the “Exercise Notice”), at the principal
office of the Company, or at such other office or agency as the Company may designate in writing prior to the date of such exercise,
accompanied by payment in full of the Exercise Price payable with respect to the number of shares of Warrant Stock purchased upon
such exercise. The Exercise Price must be paid by cash, check or wire transfer in immediately available funds for the Warrant Stock
being purchased by the Registered Holder.
(b) Effective
Time of Exercise. Each exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to have been effected immediately prior to the close of
business on the day on which the Exercise Notice has been delivered to the Company (the “Exercise Date”) as
provided in this Section 1. At such time, the person or persons in whose name or names any certificates for Warrant Stock shall
be issuable upon such exercise as provided in Section 1(c) below shall be deemed to have become the holder or holders of record
of the Warrant Stock represented by such certificates.
(c) Delivery
to Holder. As soon as practicable after the exercise of this Warrant in whole or in part, and in any event within three
(3) business days thereafter (the “Warrant Stock Delivery Date”), the Company will cause to be issued in the
name of, and delivered to, the Registered Holder, or as such Registered Holder (upon payment by such Registered Holder of any applicable
transfer taxes) may direct:
(i) a certificate
or certificates for the number of shares of Warrant Stock to which such Registered Holder shall be entitled, and
(ii) in case such
exercise is in part only, a new warrant or warrants (dated the date hereof) of like tenor, calling in the aggregate on the face
or faces thereof for the number of shares of Warrant Stock equal (giving effect to any adjustment therein) to the number of such
shares called for on the face of this Warrant minus the number of such shares purchased by the Registered Holder upon such exercise
as provided in Section 1(a).
(d) Registered
Holder’s Exercise Limitations. The Company shall not effect any exercise of this Warrant, and a Registered Holder
shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, pursuant to Section 2 or otherwise, to the extent (but only to
the extent) that the Registered Holder or any of the Registered Holder’s affiliates, would beneficially own in excess of
the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of this Section 1(e), beneficial ownership shall be calculated
in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act (as defined herein) and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder,
it being acknowledged by the Registered Holder that the Company is not representing to the Registered Holder that such calculation
is in compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the Registered Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required
to be filed in accordance therewith. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 1(e) applies, the determination
of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Registered Holder together with any Affiliates)
and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of the Registered Holder, and the submission
of an Exercise Notice shall be deemed to be the Registered Holder’s determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable
(in relation to other securities owned by the Registered Holder together with any Affiliates) and of which portion of this Warrant
is exercisable, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the Company shall have no obligation to verify
or confirm the accuracy of such determination. Upon the written or oral request of a Registered Holder, the Company shall within
two business days confirm orally and in writing to the Registered Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding.
In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise
of securities of the Company, including this Warrant, by the Registered Holder or its Affiliates since the date as of which such
number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 4.99% of
the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable
upon exercise of this Warrant. The Registered Holder, upon not less than 61 days’ prior notice to the Company, may increase
or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 1(e), provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation
shall in no event exceed 9.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance
of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant held by the Registered Holder and the provisions of this Section 1(e) shall
continue to apply. Any such increase or decrease will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the
Company. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with
the terms of this Section 1(e) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the
intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly
give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this Warrant.
2. Adjustments.
(a) Stock Splits
and Dividends. If the outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock shall be subdivided into a greater number
of shares or a dividend in Common Stock shall be paid in respect of Common Stock, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior
to such subdivision or at the record date of such dividend shall, simultaneously with the effectiveness of such subdivision or
immediately after the record date of such dividend, be proportionately reduced and the number of Warrant Stock issuable upon exercise
of the Warrant shall be proportionately increased. If the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be combined into a smaller number
of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such combination shall, simultaneously with the effectiveness of such
combination, be proportionately increased and the number of shares of Warrant Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrant shall
be proportionately decreased.
(b) Fundamental
Transaction. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) the Company effects any merger or consolidation
of the Company with or into another person, (ii) the Company effects any sale of all or substantially all of its assets in one
or a series of related transactions, (iii) any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another person) is completed
pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property
or (iv) the Company effects any reclassification of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common
Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property (each, a “Fundamental Transaction”),
then, upon any subsequent exercise of this Warrant, the Registered Holder shall have the right to receive, for each share of Warrant
Stock that would have been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, the
number of shares of Common Stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation,
and any additional consideration (the “Alternate Consideration”) receivable as a result of such merger, consolidation
or disposition of assets by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately
prior to such event. For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the Exercise Price shall be appropriately adjusted
to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common
Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in
a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common
Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Registered
Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following
such Fundamental Transaction. To the extent necessary to effectuate the foregoing provisions, any successor to the Company or surviving
entity in such Fundamental Transaction shall issue to the Registered Holder a new warrant consistent with the foregoing provisions
and evidencing the Registered Holder’s right to exercise such warrant into Alternate Consideration. The terms of any agreement
pursuant to which a Fundamental Transaction is effected shall include terms requiring any such successor or surviving entity to
comply with the provisions of this Section 2(b) and insuring that this Warrant (or any such replacement security) will be similarly
adjusted upon any subsequent transaction analogous to a Fundamental Transaction.
(c) Adjustment
Certificate. When any adjustment is required to be made in the Exercise Price pursuant to this Section 2, the Company shall
promptly mail to the Registered Holder a certificate setting forth (i) a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment,
(ii) the Exercise Price after such adjustment and (iii) the kind and amount of stock or other securities or property
into which this Warrant shall be exercisable after such adjustment.
3. Transfers.
(a) Unregistered
Security. The holder of this Warrant acknowledges that this Warrant has not been registered under the Securities Act and
agrees not to sell, pledge, distribute, offer for sale, transfer or otherwise dispose of this Warrant or any Warrant Stock issued
upon its exercise in the absence of (i) an effective registration statement under the Securities Act as to this Warrant or
such Warrant Stock and registration or qualification of this Warrant or such Warrant Stock under any applicable U.S. federal or
state securities law then in effect or (ii) an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Company, that such registration
and qualification are not required.
(b) Transferability.
Subject to the provisions of Section 3(a) hereof, this Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable in whole to (i) any entity
controlling, controlled by or under common control of the Registered Holder, or (ii) to any other proposed transferee by surrendering
the Warrant with a properly executed assignment (in the form of Exhibit B hereto) at the principal office of the Company.
(c) Warrant
Register. The Company will maintain a register containing the names and addresses of the Registered Holders of this Warrant.
Until any transfer of this Warrant is made in the warrant register, the Company may treat the Registered Holder of this Warrant
as the absolute owner hereof for all purposes; provided, however, that if this Warrant is properly assigned in blank,
the Company may (but shall not be required to) treat the bearer hereof as the absolute owner hereof for all purposes, notwithstanding
any notice to the contrary. Any Registered Holder may change such Registered Holder’s address as shown on the warrant register
by written notice to the Company requesting such change.
4. Termination.
This Warrant (and the right to purchase securities upon exercise hereof) shall terminate at 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on the Expiration
Date.
5. Notices
of Certain Transactions. In case:
(a) the Company shall
take a record of the holders of its Common Stock (or other stock or securities at the time deliverable upon the exercise of this
Warrant) for the purpose of entitling or enabling them to receive any dividend or other distribution, or to receive any right to
subscribe for or purchase any shares of stock of any class or any other securities, or to receive any other right, to subscribe
for or purchase any shares of stock of any class or any other securities, or to receive any other right, or
(b) of any capital
reorganization of the Company, any reclassification of the capital stock of the Company, any consolidation or merger of the Company,
any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another corporation (other than a consolidation or merger in which the
Company is the surviving entity), or any transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or
(c) of the voluntary
or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Company, or
(d) of any Fundamental
Transaction,
then, and in each such case, the Company
will mail or cause to be mailed to the Registered Holder of this Warrant a notice specifying, as the case may be, (i) the date
on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or right, and stating the amount and character
of such dividend, distribution or right, or (ii) the effective date on which such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation,
merger, transfer, dissolution, liquidation, winding-up or Fundamental Transaction is to take place, and the time, if any is to
be fixed, as of which the holders of record of Common Stock (or such other stock or securities at the time deliverable upon such
reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up) are to be determined.
Failure to send such notice shall not act to invalidate any such transaction.
6. Reservation
of Stock. The Company covenants that at all times it will have authorized, reserve and keep available, solely for the issuance
and delivery upon the exercise of this Warrant, such shares of Warrant Stock and other stock, securities and property, as from
time to time shall be issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant. The Company covenants that all Warrant Stock that may be issued
upon the exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant will, upon exercise of the purchase rights represented by
this Warrant, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges in respect
of the issue thereof (other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with such issue). The Company further
covenants that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to its officers who are charged with the duty of executing
stock certificates to execute and issue the necessary certificates for the shares of Warrant Stock upon the exercise of the purchase
rights under this Warrant by the Registered Holder. The Company will take all such reasonable action as may be necessary to assure
that such Warrant Stock may be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation.
7. Replacement
of Warrants. Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation
of this Warrant and (in the case of loss, theft or destruction) upon delivery of an indemnity agreement (with surety if reasonably
required) in an amount reasonably satisfactory to the Company, or (in the case of mutilation) upon surrender and cancellation of
this Warrant, the Company will issue, in lieu thereof, a new Warrant of like tenor.
8. Notices.
Any notice required or permitted by this Warrant shall be in writing and shall be deemed duly given upon receipt, when delivered
personally or by courier, overnight delivery service or confirmed facsimile, or 48 hours after being deposited in the regular mail
as certified or registered mail (airmail if sent internationally) with postage prepaid, addressed (a) if to the Registered Holder,
to the address of the Registered Holder most recently furnished in writing to the Company and (b) if to the Company, to the address
set forth on the signature page of this Warrant or as subsequently modified by written notice to the Registered Holder.
9. No Rights
as Stockholder. Until the exercise of this Warrant, the Registered Holder of this Warrant shall not have or exercise any
rights by virtue hereof as a stockholder of the Company.
10. No Fractional
Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued in connection with any exercise hereunder. In lieu of any fractional
shares which would otherwise be issuable, the Company shall round the amount of Warrant Stock issuable to the nearest whole share.
11. Amendment
or Waiver. Any term of this Warrant may be amended or waived upon written consent of the Company and the Registered Holder.
12. Headings.
The headings in this Warrant are for purposes of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning of any provision
of this Warrant.
13. Governing
Law. This Warrant and all acts and transactions pursuant hereto and the rights and obligations of the parties hereto shall
be governed, construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to principles
of conflicts of law.
14. Representations
and Covenants of the Registered Holder. This Warrant has been entered into by the Company in reliance upon the following
representations and covenants of the Registered Holder:
(a) Investment
Purpose. The Registered Holder is acquiring the Warrant and the Warrant Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrant for
its own account, not as a nominee or agent and with no present intention of selling or otherwise distributing any part thereof.
(b) Private
Issue. The Registered Holder understands: (i) that the Warrant is not registered under the Securities Act or qualified
under applicable state securities laws on the ground that the issuance contemplated by this Warrant will be exempt from the registration
and qualifications requirements thereof pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws,
and (ii) that the Company’s reliance on such exemption is predicated on the representations set forth in this Section 14.
(c) Disposition
of Registered Holder’s Rights. In no event will the Registered Holder make a disposition of the Warrant or the Warrant
Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrant in the absence of (i) an effective registration statement under the Securities
Act as to this Warrant or such Warrant Stock and registration or qualification of this Warrant or such Warrant Stock under any
applicable U.S. federal or state securities law then in effect or (ii) an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the
Company, that such registration and qualification are not required. Whenever the restrictions imposed hereunder shall terminate,
as hereinabove provided, the Registered Holder or holder of a share of Common Stock then outstanding as to which such restrictions
have terminated shall be entitled to receive from the Company, without expense to such holder, one or more new certificates for
the Warrant or for such shares of Common Stock not bearing any restrictive legend.
(d) Financial
Risk. The Registered Holder has such business and financial experience as is required to give it the capacity to protect
its own interests in connection with its investment.
(e) Accredited
Investor. The Registered Holder is an “accredited investor” as defined by Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated
under the Securities Act.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed
this Warrant as of the date first above written.

(b) by
either the Buyer or the Sellers’ Representative by providing written notice to the other at any time after October 15, 2015
if the Closing will not have occurred by reason of the failure of any condition set forth in Section 7, in the case of the

specified date or time), or (ii) the Company or a Seller will have breached or violated in any material respect any of their
respective covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement; in each case of (i) or (ii) above, which breach or violation would

(e) by
the Sellers’ Representative if either (i) there will be a breach of, or inaccuracy in, any representation or warranty

date or time), or (ii) the Buyer will have breached or violated in any material respect any of its covenants and agreements
contained in this Agreement; in each case of (i) or (ii) above, which breach or violation would give rise, or could reasonably
be expected to give rise, to a failure of a condition set forth in Section 8 and cannot be or has not been cured within five
Business Days after the Sellers’ Representative notifies the Buyer of such breach or violation.
9.2 Effect

by the Seller Indemnified Persons or any of them as a result of, arising out of or relating to, directly or indirectly: (a) any
breach of, or inaccuracy in, any representation or warranty made by the Buyer in this Agreement any Ancillary Agreement or in any
document, Schedule, instrument or certificate delivered pursuant to this Agreement (in each case, as such representation or warranty
would read if all qualifications as to materiality, including each reference to the defined term “Material Adverse Effect,”
were deleted therefrom); or (b) any breach or violation of any covenant or agreement of the Buyer (including under this Section
10) or any covenant or agreement of the Company to the extent required to be performed or complied with by the Company after the
Closing, in either case in or pursuant to this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement.
10.3 Time
for Claims. No claim may be made or suit instituted seeking indemnification pursuant to Section 10.1.1 or 10.2 for

or intentional misrepresentation; (b) at any time prior to the thirtieth day after the expiration of the applicable statute of

pursuant to this Agreement); (c) at any time prior to the thirty-six month anniversary of the Closing, in the case of any breach
of covenant required to be performed or complied with at or prior to the Closing or breach of, or inaccuracy in, any other representation

instrument or certificate delivered pursuant to this Agreement) and (d) in the case of breaches of covenants hereunder that are
required to be performed after the Closing, at any time prior to the expiration of the time period within which such covenant is
to be performed or observed under the express terms of this Agreement.
Claims for indemnification pursuant to any
other provision of Sections 10.1.1 and 10.2 are not subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 10.3.
10.4 Third
Party Claims.
10.4.1 Notice
of Claim. If any third party will notify an Indemnified Party with respect to any matter (a “Third Party
Claim”) which may give rise to an Indemnified Claim against an Indemnifying Party under this Section 10, then the Indemnified
Party will promptly give written notice to the Indemnifying Party; provided, however, that no delay on the part of
the Indemnified Party in notifying the Indemnifying Party will relieve the Indemnifying Party from any obligation under this Section
10, except to the extent such delay actually and materially prejudices the Indemnifying Party.
10.4.2 Assumption
of Defense, etc. The Indemnifying Party will be entitled to participate in the defense of any Third Party Claim
and will have the right to defend the Indemnified Party against the Third Party Claim so long as (a) the Indemnifying Party gives
written notice to the Indemnified Party within fifteen (15) days after receipt of written notice of the claim pursuant to Section
10.4.1 that it will indemnify the Indemnified Party from and against the entirety of any and all Losses the Indemnified Party may
suffer resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, or caused by the Third Party Claim, (b) the Third Party Claim
involves only money damages and does not seek an injunction or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party, (c) the Indemnified
Party has not been advised by counsel that a conflict exists between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party in connection
with the defense of the Third Party Claim, (d) the Third Party Claim does not relate to or otherwise arise in connection with Taxes
or any criminal or regulatory enforcement action, (e) settlement of an adverse judgment with respect to, or the Indemnifying Party’s
conduct of, the defense of the Third Party Claim is not, in the good faith judgment of the Indemnified Party, likely to be adverse
to the Indemnified Party’s reputation or continuing business interests (including its relationships with current or potential
customers, suppliers or other parties material to the conduct of its business) and (f) the Indemnifying Party conducts the defense
of the Third Party Claim actively and diligently. The Indemnified Party may retain separate co-counsel at its sole cost
and expense and participate in the defense of the Third Party Claim; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party will pay the
fees and expenses of separate co-counsel retained by the Indemnified Party if the Indemnifying Party does not assume control of
the defense of the Third Party Claim within the 15-day period described above in this Section 10.4.1.
10.4.3 Limitations
on Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any compromise
or settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party unless such judgment,
compromise or settlement (a) provides for the payment by the Indemnifying Party of money as sole relief for the claimant, (b) results
in the full and general release of the Buyer Indemnified Persons or Seller Indemnified Persons, as applicable, from all liabilities
arising or relating to, or in connection with, the Third Party Claim and (c) involves no finding or admission of any violation
of Legal Requirements or the rights of any Person and no effect on any other claims that may be made against the Indemnified Party.
10.4.4 Indemnified
Party’s Control. If the Indemnifying Party does not deliver the notice contemplated by clause (a) of Section
10.4.2 within 15 days after the Indemnified Party has given notice of the Third Party Claim, or otherwise at any time fails to
conduct the defense of the Third Party Claim actively and diligently, the Indemnified Party may defend, and may consent to the
entry of any judgment or enter into any compromise or settlement with respect to, the Third Party Claim in any manner it may deem
appropriate. If such notice is given on a timely basis and the Indemnifying Party conducts the defense of the Third
Party Claim actively and diligently, but any of the other conditions in Section 10.4.2 is or becomes unsatisfied, the Indemnified
Party may defend, and may consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any compromise or settlement with respect to, the
Third Party Claim. In the event that the Indemnified Party conducts the defense of the Third Party Claim pursuant to this Section
10.4.4, the Indemnifying Party will (a) advance the Indemnified Party promptly and periodically for the costs of defending against
the Third Party Claim (including reasonable attorneys’ and experts’ fees and expenses) and (b) remain responsible for
any and all other Losses that the Indemnified Party may incur or suffer resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature
of or caused by the Third Party Claim to the fullest extent provided in this Section 10.
10.5 No
Circular Recovery. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, each Seller hereby agrees that it
will not make any claim for indemnification against the Buyer, any Buyer Indemnified Person or the Company for any matter with
respect to which such Seller (i) was an executive officer or director of the Company, and (ii) was either negligent
or was acting outside of his authorized authority, or otherwise did not intend to act in the best interests of the Acquired Companies,
and (iii) in such director or officer position was responsible for and in control of the facts or circumstances (with the ability
to modify such facts and circumstances at that time) that form the basis for an indemnification claim by a Buyer Indemnified Person
hereunder.
10.6 Certain
Limitations. The indemnification provided for in Section 10.1.1 and Section 10.2 shall be subject to the following
limitations:
(a) Except
as provided in Section 10.6(c) and Section 10.7, the aggregate amount of all Losses for which the Sellers’ Representative
or the Sellers shall be liable pursuant to Section 10.1.1 shall not exceed the Escrow Fund (the “Cap”). No
Buyer Indemnified Person shall be entitled to recover from the Escrow Fund for Losses pursuant to Section 10.1.1 unless and until
the total amount of all Losses that have been suffered or incurred by one or more of the Buyer Indemnified Persons exceeds $50,000
in the aggregate (the “Deductible”), after which, subject to the terms of this Section 10, Buyer Indemnified
Persons shall be entitled to recover from the Escrow Fund for all Losses pursuant to Section 8.02(a) that exceed the
Deductible.
(b) The
aggregate amount of all Losses for which Buyer shall be liable pursuant to Section 10.2 shall not exceed $2,500,000.
(c) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the limitations set forth in Section 10.6(a) shall not apply to Losses (i) based upon, arising out of, with respect
to or by reason of any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty of Sections 3.1 (Organization; Predecessors),
3.2 (Power and Authorization), 3.4 (Breach of Organizational Documents), 3.5 (Capitalization), 3.9 (Debt; Guarantees),
3.15 (Tax Matters), 3.19, (Affiliate Transactions), 3.26 (No Brokers), 4.1 (Organization), 4.2 (Power and Authorization),
4.4 (No Breach of Organizational Documents of Seller), 4.5 (Title), and 4.6 (No Brokers) (collectively, the “Excepted
Representations”), (ii) related to any of the items set forth on Schedule 10.6(c) or (iii) for fraud or willful
misrepresentation or breach of any covenant or agreement, for which the the Sellers’ Representatives and the Sellers shall
be severally liable for an aggregate amount not to exceed $6,600,000. For the avoidance of doubt, none of the limitations set forth
in this Section 10.6(c) shall apply to any claims for indemnification that relate to Taxes.
(d) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary set forth herein, all indemnification obligations pursuant to this Section 10 will exclude punitive Losses
(except to the extent punitive Losses constitute Losses payable to a third party as a result of a claim by a third party) and damages
(other than direct or incidental damages) that are not the probable and reasonably foreseeable result of the underlying breach,
misrepresentation, inaccuracy, default or event.
10.7 Escrow
Fund. At the Closing, the Escrow Fund shall be delivered to the Escrow Agent to be held and administered by the Escrow Agent
in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement. Buyer may make a claim against the Escrow Fund for the amount of any Losses
by sending a Notice of Claim pursuant to this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement to the Escrow Agent, as applicable. With respect
to claims for any Losses related to (i) the Excepted Representations, (ii) any of the items set forth on Schedule 10.6(c)
or (iii) for fraud or willful misrepresentation, Buyer shall seek payment for any Losses first from the Escrow Fund and then from
the Sellers’ Representative, who shall be personally liable for any such Losses above the Escrow Fund, and Buyer shall not
be entitled to seek payment for the above specified Losses from the Sellers except as it relates to the Escrow Fund.
10.8 Knowledge
and Investigation. The right of any party to indemnification pursuant to this Section 10 will not be affected by
any investigation conducted or knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) at any time, whether before or after the execution
and delivery of this Agreement or the Closing, with respect to the accuracy of any representation or warranty, or performance of
or compliance with any covenant or agreement. The waiver of any condition contained in this Agreement or in any Ancillary
Agreement based on the breach of any such representation or warranty, or on the performance of or compliance with any such covenant
or agreement, will not affect the right of any person to indemnification pursuant to this Section 10 based on such representation,
warranty, covenant or agreement. Such representations and warranties and covenants and agreements shall not be affected or deemed
waived by reason of the fact that the indemnified party knew or should have known that any representation or warranty might be
inaccurate or that the indemnifying party failed to comply with any agreement or covenant. Any investigation by such party shall
be for its own protection only and shall not affect or impair any right or remedy hereunder.
10.9 Remedies
Cumulative. The rights of each Buyer Indemnified Person and Seller Indemnified Person under this Section 10 are
cumulative and each Buyer Indemnified Person and Seller Indemnified Person, as the case may be, will have the right in any particular
circumstance, in its sole discretion, to enforce any provision of this Section 10 without regard to the availability of a remedy
under any other provision of this Section 10.
10.9.1 Definition
of Loss and Losses Not to Include Matters Related to JVIS or to the Automotive-Related Business of any Acquired Company. Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement, as used in this Agreement, the term “Loss” or “Losses” will not
include any Actions, Liabilities, Governmental Orders, Encumbrances, losses, damages, bonds, dues, assessments, fines, penalties,
Taxes, fees, costs (including costs of investigation, defense and enforcement of this Agreement), expenses or amounts paid in settlement
(in each case, including reasonable attorneys’ and experts’ fees and expenses), whether or not involving a Third Party
Claim, relating to any dispute or litigation involving JVIS (USA) Ltd., Jason Murar, Mitch Randall, Zii Energy, Gregory Clark.
11. TAX
MATTERS
11.1 Cooperation
on Tax Matters. Buyer and the Acquired Companies will cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested
by the other party, in connection with any Tax matters relating to the Acquired Companies (including by the provision of reasonably
relevant records or information). The party requesting such cooperation will pay the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses
of the other party.
11.2 Straddle
Period. In the case of any Straddle Period, the amount of Taxes allocable to the portion of the Straddle Period
ending on the Closing Date shall be deemed to be: (1) In the case of Taxes imposed on a periodic basis (such as real or personal
property Taxes), the amount of such Taxes for the entire period (or, in the case of such Taxes determined on an arrears basis,
the amount of such Taxes for the immediately preceding period) multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of
calendar days in the Straddle Period ending on and including the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of calendar
days in the entire relevant Straddle Period; and (2) In the case of Taxes not described in (1) above (such as franchise Taxes,
Taxes that are based upon or related to income or receipts, based upon occupancy or imposed in connection with any sale or other
transfer or assignment of property (real or personal, tangible or intangible)), the amount of any such Taxes shall be determined
as if such taxable period ended as of the close of business on the Closing Date.
11.3 Transfer
Taxes. Sellers shall be responsible for the timely payment of, and to such extent shall indemnify and hold harmless
the Buyer against, all sales (including without limitation, bulk sales), use, value added, documentary, stamp, gross receipts,

Taxes computed on the basis of income) and fees (“Transfer Taxes”) arising out of or in connection with or attributable
to the transactions effected pursuant to this Agreement. Sellers shall prepare and timely file all Tax Returns required
to be filed in respect of Transfer Taxes (including, without limitation, all notices required to be given with respect to bulk
sales taxes), provided that Buyer shall prepare any such Tax Returns that are the primary responsibility of Buyer under
applicable laws. Buyer’s preparation of any such Tax Returns shall be subject to Seller’s approval, which
approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.

such successors and permitted assigns will be deemed to be a party hereto for all purposes hereof. No party may assign,

writing and signed, in the case of an amendment, by Buyer, the Company and the Sellers’ Representative, or in the case of
a waiver, by the party (in the case of the Sellers, by the Sellers’ Representative) against whom the waiver is to be effective. No
waiver by any party of any breach or violation or, default under or inaccuracy in any representation, warranty or covenant hereunder,
whether intentional or not, will be deemed to extend to any prior or subsequent breach, violation, default of, or inaccuracy in,
any such representation, warranty or covenant hereunder or affect in any way any rights arising by virtue of any prior or subsequent
such occurrence. No delay or omission on the part of any party in exercising any right, power or remedy under this Agreement
will operate as a waiver thereof.
12.4 Provisions
Concerning Sellers’ Representative.
12.4.1 Appointment. Each
Seller hereby appoints Randall P. Marx as the Sellers’ Representative, to serve, in the manner and to the extent described
herein, as agent and proxy for such Seller for all purposes under this Agreement. Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, the Sellers’ Representative will be authorized to: (a) in connection with the Closing, execute and receive
all documents, instruments, certificates, statements and agreements on behalf of and in the name of the Sellers necessary to effectuate
the Closing and consummate the Contemplated Transactions; (b) take all actions on behalf of the Sellers with respect to the matters
set forth in Section 10; (c) take all actions on behalf of the Sellers in connection with any claims made under Section 10 to defend
or settle such claims, and to make payments in respect of such claims; (d) execute and deliver, should it elect to do so in its
sole discretion, on behalf of the Sellers, any amendment to this Agreement or the Escrow Agrement so long as such amendment will
apply equally to all Sellers and (e) take all other actions to be taken by or on behalf of the Sellers and exercise any and all
rights which the Sellers are permitted or required to do or exercise under this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement. All decisions
of the Sellers' Representative shall be final and binding on all of the Sellers, and no Seller shall have the right to object,
dissent, protest or otherwise contest the same. The Buyer shall be entitled to rely upon, without independent investigation,
any act, notice, instruction or communication from the Sellers' Representative and any document executed by the Sellers' Representative
on behalf of any such Sellers and shall be fully protected in connection with any action or inaction taken or omitted to be taken
in reliance thereon absent willful misconduct.
12.4.2 Liability. The
Sellers’ Representative will not be liable to any Seller for any action taken by it in good faith pursuant to this Agreement
or the Escrow Agrement. Michael Solomon and Keith Goodman, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify and hold harmless
the Sellers’ Representative for any liability incurred by the Sellers’ Representative for any losses or damages, including
reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by the Sellers’ Representative for any action taken by it in good faith pursuant
to this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement. The execution of this Agreement by each of Michael Solomon and Keith Goodman,
respectively, as Sellers, constitutes their agreement to the indemnification and other provisions of this Section 12.4.2. The
Sellers’ Representative is serving as Sellers’ Representative solely for purposes of administrative convenience, and
is not personally liable in such capacity for any of the obligations of the Sellers or for any other obligations hereunder, and
the Buyer agrees that it will not look to the personal assets of the Sellers’ Representative, acting in such capacity, for
the satisfaction of any obligations to be performed by the Sellers hereunder.
12.5 Entire
Agreement. This Agreement, together with the other Ancillary Agreements and any documents, instruments and certificates
explicitly referred to herein, constitutes the entire agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof
and supersedes any and all prior discussions, negotiations, proposals, undertakings, understandings and agreements, whether written
or oral, with respect thereto.
12.6 Schedules;
Listed Documents, etc.. Neither the listing nor description of any item, matter or document in any Schedule hereto
nor the furnishing or availability for review of any document will be construed to modify, qualify or disclose an exception to
any representation or warranty of any party made herein or in connection herewith, except to the extent that the applicability
of such disclosure to such representation or warranty is reasonably apparent on the face of such disclosure.
12.7 Counterparts. This
Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original, but all of which together will
constitute but one and the same instrument. This Agreement will become effective when duly executed by each party hereto.
12.8 Severability. Any

VRINGO ACQUIRES WIRE-FREE CHARGING AND
RUGGED COMPUTING COMPANY INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT GROUP
Conference Call Scheduled today at 8:30
a.m. Eastern Time
NEW YORK —
October 16, 2015 — Vringo, Inc. (NASDAQ: VRNG), a company engaged in the innovation,
development and monetization of intellectual property, today announced that it has entered into a
definitive agreement to acquire privately held International Development Group (IDG), a holding company consisting of two primary
businesses: fliCharge, a wire-free charging technology company, and Group Mobile, a market leading built-to-order supplier of rugged
computers, mobile devices and accessories.
Founded in
2014, fliCharge owns a patented, conductive, wire-free charging technology that is already on the market and available to consumers.
The patented fliCharge technology consists of a wire-free charging solution that can simultaneously charge multiple battery operated
devices on the same charging pad regardless of their power requirement or position on the pad; users simply place their enabled
device onto a fliCharge pad. fliCharge is currently commercializing, partnering or developing products in numerous markets
including automotive, education, office, healthcare, power tools and vaporizers.
Founded in 2002, Group
Mobile is a market-leading supplier of built-to-order rugged computers, mobile devices and accessories. Group Mobile provides a
high touch sales experience with full service technical and customer support in the rugged mobile computer market. Group Mobile’s
customers include large corporations, military suppliers, small businesses and individuals. Rugged products sold by Group Mobile
can be found in military helicopters, police cruisers and ambulance fleets as well as on construction sites, oil rigs and manufacturing
facilities.
The aggregate consideration
will be unregistered shares of Vringo preferred stock convertible into shares of common stock representing approximately 11.4 percent
of the combined company on a fully diluted basis, including contingent consideration.
"I am excited to announce the acquisition
of IDG. We believe that the combination with Vringo provides IDG with the necessary resources to accelerate
growth by increasing market awareness and brand identity stemming directly from the development, manufacturing, distribution, licensing
and sales of innovative products and technologies,” said Andrew D. Perlman, Chief Executive Officer of Vringo.
“Our existing patent
licensing and litigation strategy remains intact and on track. We believe this acquisition offers diversification to our shareholders
and additional licensing opportunities,” Mr. Perlman concluded.
“This transaction presents a fantastic
opportunity as we move towards the next chapter in our company,” said Randy Marx, the Chief Executive Officer of IDG. “I
speak on behalf of myself, IDG’s largest shareholder, as well as our employees and shareholders in saying that we are all
excited about our partnership with Vringo.”
Vringo has
released a presentation that provides an overview of the acquisition. The presentation is available on the homepage of Vringo’s
