....enter VPC and another agreement negotiated when the company was in a "precarious" financial situation.

If LQMT hadn't secured financing to keep going, AAPL could have gotten all the patents; negotiating those terms in their agreement was an example of AAPL looking out for their future.

In other words, one could as easily say that AAPL wasn't going to save LQMT if they got in trouble before a specific date; no bailout.
