[FORM OF REVERSE SIDE OF NOTE]

1.50% Senior Convertible Note due 2020

INTERDIGITAL, INC., a Pennsylvania corporation (such corporation, and its successors and assigns under the Indenture hereinafter referred to, being herein called the “Company”), issued this Note under an Indenture, dated as of March 11, 2015 (as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof, the “Indenture”), between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as Trustee, to which reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Trustee, the Company and the Holders and of the terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be, authorized and delivered. Except as specifically provided in Section 1(a) hereof, all terms used in this Note which are defined in the Indenture shall have the meaning assigned to them in the Indenture.

 

1. Further Provisions Relating to Interest

(a) Additional Interest. If, at any time during the six-month period beginning on, and including, the date which is six months after the last original issuance date of the Notes (including any Notes issued pursuant to the Initial Purchasers’ over-allotment option to purchase Additional Notes), the Company fails to timely file any document or report that the Company is required to file with the SEC pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, as applicable (after giving effect to all applicable grace periods thereunder and other than current reports on Form 8-K), the Company shall pay additional interest (the “Rule 144 Additional Interest”) on the Notes which shall accrue on all transfer restricted Notes at an annual rate of 0.50% per annum of the principal amount of such Notes outstanding for each day during such period for which the Company’s failure to file continues.

(b) In the event of the Company’s failure to comply with the covenant in Section 4.03(a) of the Indenture and the Company’s failure to comply with the requirements of Section 314(a)(1) of the Trust Indenture Act (which also relate to the provision of reports), the Company may elect that the sole remedy for the resulting Event of Default for the 180 days after the occurrence of such Event of Default shall consist exclusively of the right to receive additional interest (the “Reporting Additional Interest”) on the Notes at an annual rate equal to (i) 0.25% of the outstanding principal amount of the Notes from the first date of the occurrence of such Event of Default to, but not including, the 90th day thereafter (or such earlier date on which the Event of Default relating to the Company’s reporting obligations pursuant to Section 4.03(a) of the Indenture and Section 314(a)(1) of the Trust Indenture Act shall have been cured or waived) and (ii) 0.50% of the outstanding principal amount of the Notes from the 91st date following the occurrence to the 180th day after the first date of the occurrence of such Event of Default (or such earlier date on which the Event of Default relating to the Company’s reporting obligations pursuant to Section 4.03(a) of the Indenture and Section 314(a)(1) of the Trust Indenture Act shall have been cured or waived). In the event the Company does not elect to pay the Reporting Additional Interest upon an Event of Default in accordance with Section 6.13 of the Indenture, the Notes shall be subject to acceleration pursuant to Section 6.02 of the Indenture. This Reporting

 

A-5


Additional Interest shall be payable in arrears on the same dates and in the same manner as regular interest on the Notes. On such 180th day, if such Event of Default is continuing, such Reporting Additional Interest shall cease to accrue and the Notes shall be subject to acceleration as provided in Section 6.02 of the Indenture. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event Rule 144 Additional Interest is triggered under Section 4.12 of the Indenture or Free Transferability Additional Interest is triggered under Section 4.13 of the Indenture during any period in which the Company has elected that the accrual of Reporting Additional Interest be the sole remedy for any such Event of Default, no Reporting Additional Interest shall be payable pursuant to Section 6.13 of the Indenture for so long as Rule 144 Additional Interest is accruing and payable pursuant to Section 4.12 of the Indenture or Free Transferability Additional Interest is accruing under Section 4.13 of the Indenture.

(c) Further, if, and for so long as, the Restricted Note Legend on the Notes has not been removed, the Notes are assigned a restricted CUSIP or the Notes are not otherwise Freely Transferable by holders other than Affiliates of the Company or Persons that were Affiliates of the Company during the immediately preceding three months (without restrictions pursuant to U.S. securities law or the terms of the Indenture or the Notes) as of the 380th day after the last date of original issuance of the Notes, the Company shall pay additional interest (“Free Transferability Additional Interest”) on the Notes at a rate equal to 0.50% per annum of the principal amount of Notes outstanding until the Notes are Freely Transferable as described above by holders other than Affiliates of the Company or Persons that were Affiliates of the Company during the immediately preceding three months. No Free Transferability Additional Interest shall be payable pursuant to Section 4.13 of the Indenture for so long as Rule 144 Additional Interest is accruing and payable pursuant to Section 4.12 of the Indenture; provided, however, that, for the avoidance of any doubt, Free Transferability Additional Interest shall accrue and be payable pursuant to Section 4.13 of the Indenture once such Rule 144 Additional Interest ceases to accrue and be payable pursuant to Section 4.12 of the Indenture.

(d) Except as otherwise specifically set forth, all references herein to “interest” include Defaulted Interest, if any, Rule 144 Additional Interest, if any, Reporting Additional Interest, if any, and Free Transferability Additional Interest, if any.

 

2. Method of Payment

The Company shall pay interest on the Notes (except Defaulted Interest) to the Persons who are registered holders of Notes at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the February 15 and August 15 next preceding the Interest Payment Date. Holders must surrender Notes to a Paying Agent to collect principal payments. The Company shall pay principal and interest in money of the United States of America that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts.

The Company shall pay interest on:

(i) any Global Notes to the Depositary in immediately available funds;

(ii) any Notes in certificated form by check mailed to the address of the Person in whose name such Notes are registered as it appears in the Register or by wire transfer in

 

A-6


immediately available funds at the election of the Holder of such Notes duly delivered to the Trustee at least five Business Days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date.

 

3. Paying Agent, Registrar and Conversion Agent

Initially, The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., a national banking association organized under the laws of the United States (the “Trustee”), shall act as Paying Agent, Registrar and Conversion Agent. The Company may appoint and change any Paying Agent, Registrar or co-registrar or Conversion Agent without notice. The Company or any of its Wholly Owned Subsidiaries that is not a Foreign Subsidiary may act as Paying Agent, Registrar or co-registrar.

 

4. Sinking Fund

The Notes are not subject to any sinking fund.

 

5. Repurchase of Notes at the Option of Holders

Upon the occurrence of a Fundamental Change, the Holder has the right to require the Company to repurchase all or part of such Holder’s Notes in a principal amount thereof that is equal to $1,000 in principal amount or whole multiples thereof on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date at a price, payable in cash, equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes such Holder elects to require the Company to repurchase, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date. The Company or, at the written request of the Company, the Trustee shall provide to all record Holders a notice of the occurrence of a Fundamental Change and of the repurchase right arising as a result thereof on or before the tenth Business Day after the occurrence of such Fundamental Change.

 

6. Conversion

Subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder hereof may convert, during certain periods and upon the occurrence of certain conditions specified in the Indenture and prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the second Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the Maturity Date, any Notes or portion thereof that is $1,000 or multiples thereof at a Conversion Rate specified in the Indenture, as adjusted from time to time as provided in the Indenture, upon surrender of this Note, together with a conversion notice as provided in the Indenture and this Note, to the Company at the office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose and, unless the shares issuable on conversion are to be issued in the same name as this Note, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company duly executed by, the Holder or by its duly authorized attorney. Upon conversion, the Company shall satisfy its Conversion Obligation in cash, shares of Common Stock or a combination of cash and Shares of Common Stock, if applicable. The initial Conversion Rate shall be 13.8172 shares of Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of Notes (equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $72.37 per share of Common Stock). No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon any conversion, but an adjustment in cash shall be paid to the Holder, as provided in the Indenture, in respect of any fraction of a share that would otherwise be issuable upon the surrender of any Note or Notes for conversion. No adjustment

 

A-7


shall be made for dividends or any shares issued upon conversion of such Note except as provided in the Indenture.

 

7. Denominations, Transfer, Exchange

The Notes are in registered form without coupons in denominations of $1,000 and whole multiples of $1,000. A Holder may transfer or exchange Notes in accordance with the Indenture. Upon any transfer or exchange, the Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements or transfer documents and to pay any taxes required by law or permitted by the Indenture.

 

8. Persons Deemed Owners

The registered Holder of this Note may be treated as the owner of it for all purposes.

 

9. Unclaimed Money

Subject to any applicable abandoned property law, the Trustee and the Paying Agent shall pay to the Company upon written request any money held by them for the payment of principal or interest and any shares of Common Stock or other property due in respect of converted Notes that remains unclaimed for two years, and, thereafter, Holders entitled to the money and/or securities must look to the Company for payment as general creditors.

 

10. Amendment, Waiver

Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture contains provisions permitting a modification or amendment of the Indenture or the Notes with the written consent or affirmative vote of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes and the waiver of any Event of Default (other than with respect to nonpayment, a failure to satisfy the Conversion Obligation or a provision that cannot be amended without the written consent of each Holder affected) or noncompliance with any provision with the written consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes.

In addition, the Indenture permits an amendment of the Indenture or the Notes without the consent of any Holder under circumstances specified in the Indenture. The Indenture also permits an amendment of the Indenture or the Notes only with the consent of any Holder affected thereby under circumstances specified in the Indenture.

 

11. Defaults and Remedies

Except as specified in the Indenture, if an Event of Default occurs (other than an Event of Default relating to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Company and Subsidiary Guarantors) and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes may declare the principal amount of the Notes and accrued and unpaid interest on the outstanding Notes to be due and payable. If an Event of Default relating to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor occurs, the principal amount of the Notes and accrued

 

A-8


and unpaid interest on the outstanding Notes shall become immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holders. Under certain circumstances, the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes may rescind any such acceleration with respect to the Notes and its consequences.

If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers under the Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders unless such Holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense. Subject to certain exceptions, no Holder may pursue any remedy with respect to the Indenture or the Notes unless (i) such Holder has given the Trustee written notice of an Event of Default, (ii) holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes have made a written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy and offered reasonable security or indemnity against any costs, liability or expense of the Trustee, (iii) the Trustee fails to comply with such request within 60 calendar days after receipt of such request and the offer of indemnity and (iv) the Trustee has not received an inconsistent direction from the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes. Subject to certain restrictions, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes are given the right to direct the time, method and place of any proceedings for any remedy available to the Trustee. The Trustee, however, may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or the Indenture or that the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other Holder or that would involve the Trustee in personal liability or expense for which the Trustee has not received adequate indemnity as determined by it in good faith. Prior to taking any action under the Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to indemnification or security reasonably satisfactory to it in its sole discretion against all losses, liabilities and expenses caused by taking or not taking such action.

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall impair, as among the Company and the holder of the Notes, the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on this Note at the place, at the respective times, at the rate and in the coin or currency herein and in the Indenture prescribed.

 

12. Trustee Dealings with the Company

Subject to certain limitations imposed by the Trust Indenture Act, the Trustee under the Indenture, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee.

 

13. No Recourse Against Others

No past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, shareholder or partner, as such, of the Company shall have any liability for any obligations of the Company under the Notes or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. By accepting a Note, each Holder shall waive and release all such liability. The waiver and release shall be part of the consideration for the issue of the Notes.

 

A-9


14. Authentication

This Note shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the Trustee (or an authenticating agent) manually signs the certificate of authentication on the other side of this Note.

16. GOVERNING LAW

THIS NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

 

17. CUSIP and ISIN Numbers
