Other Events. ------------ In August 2006, an arbitral tribunal ("Tribunal") from the International Court of Arbitration in an arbitration proceeding between InterDigital Communications, LLC and InterDigital Technology Corporation (collectively, "InterDigital"), and Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. ("Samsung"), awarded InterDigital approximately $134 million in past royalties plus interest on Samsung's sale of single mode 2G GSM/TDMA and 2.5G GSM/GPRS/EDGE terminal units through 2005 ("Award"). The Samsung Tribunal also established the royalty rates to be applied to Samsung's sales of covered products in 2006. In September 2006, InterDigital filed an action seeking to enforce the Arbitration Award in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York (the "Enforcement Action"). Subsequent to that filing, in September 2006 Samsung filed an opposition to the enforcement action, including filing a cross-petition to vacate or modify the Award and to stay the Award. On October 30, 2007, the Honorable Richard J. Sullivan, the Judge overseeing the Enforcement Action issued an Order that the oral argument on the outstanding motions in the case will be held on November 19, 2007.
