Item 1.01.

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
|
On October 28, 2010, ParkerVision, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a placement agency agreement (the “Placement Agency Agreement”) with Hudson Securities, Inc. (the “Hudson”). Pursuant to the Placement Agency Agreement, Hudson agreed to act as placement agent on a “best efforts” basis for a proposed placement (the “Offering”) of up to $7,000,000 equity and equity-linked securities of the Company, including shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $.01 per share (“Common Stock”), and warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s Common Stock. The Company agreed to pay Hudson a fee of 7% of the aggregate purchase price paid by purchasers who are introduced to the Company by Hudson, 4% of the first $2 million in aggregate purchase price paid by purchasers who are existing investors of the Company and 7% of the aggregate purchase price in excess of $2 million paid by purchasers who are existing investors of the Company. The Placement Agency Agreement contains customary representations and warranties of the Company and is subject to customary closing conditions. In addition, the Company has agreed to indemnify Hudson against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and liabilities arising from breaches of the representations, warranties or obligations contained in the placement agency agreement.
On October 28, 2010, the Company also entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) with the purchasers in the Offering (the “Investors”). Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company will sell, and the Investors will purchase, an aggregate of 8,582,602 shares (the “Shares”) of Common Stock and 4,291,298 warrants (“Warrants”). The Shares and Warrants will be sold at a price of $0.5085 for each combination of one Share and 0.5 Warrants. The Shares and the Warrants will be issued separately and will be transferable separately immediately upon issuance. The Securities Purchase Agreement contains customary representations and warranties of the Company and is subject to customary closing conditions. In addition, the Company has agreed to indemnify the Investors for liabilities arising out of or relating to (i) any breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by the Company in the Securities Purchase Agreement or related documents or (ii) any action instituted against an Investor by any of our stockholders (other than stockholders who are affiliated with such Investor) with respect to the offering, subject to certain exceptions.
The Warrants will be issued pursuant to a Warrant Agreement (the “Warrant Agreement”) by and between the Company and American Stock Transfer and Trust Company, LLC, as warrant agent. Each warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.5352 per share, during the five-year period commencing on the date of issuance. The exercise price and number of shares of common stock issuable on exercise of the Warrants will be subject to adjustment in the event of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, reorganization or similar transaction. The exercise price and the amount and/or type of property to be issued upon exercise of the Warrants will also be subject to adjustment if

the Company engages in a “Fundamental Transaction” (as defined in the Warrant Agreement).
Upon closing, net proceeds from the sale of the Shares and Warrants, after deducting the placement agent’s fees and other offering expenses, are expected to be approximately $3.95 million. The Company anticipates that the Offerings will close on November 3, 2010.
The offering of the Shares and Warrants is being made primarily to institutional investors pursuant to the Company’s “shelf” Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-156571) that was declared effective on January 20, 2009. A prospectus supplement describing the terms of the Offering was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 29, 2010.
The discussion in this Current Report is only a summary and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Placement Agency Agreement, the Warrant Certificate, the form of Warrant Agreement and the form of Securities Purchase Agreement, which are attached to this Current Report as Exhibits 1.1, 4.1, 4.2 and 10.1, respectively, and are incorporated by reference in this Item.
The Placement Agency Agreement and the Securities Purchase Agreement have been included to provide investors and security holders with information regarding their terms. They are not intended to provide any other factual information about the Company. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Placement Agency Agreement and the Securities Purchase Agreement were made only for purposes of such agreements and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to such agreements, and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties, including being qualified by confidential disclosures exchanged between the parties in connection with the execution of the Placement Agency Agreement and the Securities Purchase Agreement.
