2018 Proceeds Investment Agreement.

On July 31, 2018, the Company entered into a Proceeds Investment Agreement (the “PIA”) with Brickell Key Investments LP (“BKI”), pursuant to which BKI funded an aggregate of $500,000 (the “First Tranche”) to be used (i) to fund the Company’s litigation proceedings relating to the infringement of certain patent assets listed in the PIA and (ii) to repay the Company’s existing debt obligations and for certain working capital purposes set forth in the PIA. Pursuant to the PIA, BKI was granted an option to provide the Company with an additional $9.5 million, at BKI’s sole discretion (the “Second Tranche”). On August 21, 2018, BKI exercised its option on the Second Tranche for $9.5 million which completed the $10 million funding.

Pursuant to the PIA and in consideration for the $10.0 million in funding, the Company agreed to assign to BKI (i) 100% of all gross, pre-tax monetary recoveries paid by any defendant(s) to the Company or its affiliates agreed to in a settlement or awarded in judgment in connection with the patent assets, plus any interest paid in connection therewith by such defendant(s) (the “Patent Assets Proceeds”), up to the minimum return (as defined in the PIA) and (ii) if BKI has not received its minimum return by the earlier of a liquidity event (as defined in the PIA) and July 31, 2020, then the Company agreed to assign to BKI 100% of the Patent Asset Proceeds until BKI has received an amount equal to the minimum return on $4.0 million.

Pursuant to the PIA, the Company granted BKI (i) a senior security interest in the Patent Assets, the claims (as defined in the PIA) and the Patent Assets Proceeds until such time as the minimum return is paid, in which case, the security interest on the patent assets, the claims and the Patent Assets Proceeds will be released, and (ii) a senior security interest in all other assets of the Company until such time as the minimum return is paid on $4.0 million, in which case, the security interest on such other assets will be released.

The security interest is enforceable by BKI if the Company is in default under the PIA which would occur if (i) the Company fails, after five (5) days’ written notice, to pay any due amount payable to BKI under the PIA Agreement, (ii) the Company fails to comply with any provision of the PIA or any other agreement or document contemplated under the PIA, (iii) the Company becomes insolvent or insolvency proceedings are commenced (and not subsequently discharged) with respect to the Company, (iv) the Company’s creditors commence actions against the Company (which are not subsequently discharged) that affect material assets of the Company, (v) the Company, without BKI’s consent, incurs indebtedness other than immaterial ordinary course indebtedness up to $500,000, (vi) the Company fails, within five (5) business days following the closing of the second tranche, to fully satisfy its obligations to certain holders of the Company’s senior secured convertible promissory notes listed in the PIA Agreement and fails to obtain unconditional releases from such holders as to the Company’s obligations to such holders and the security interests in the Company held by such holders or (vii) there is an uncured non-compliance of the Company’s obligations or misrepresentations by the Company under the PIA.

Under the PIA, the Company issued BKI a warrant to purchase up to 465,712 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “PIA Warrant”), at an exercise price of $2.60 per share provided that the holder of the PIA Warrant will be prohibited from exercising the PIA Warrant if, as a result of such exercise, such holder, together with its affiliates, would own more than 4.99% of the total number of shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise. However, such holder may increase or decrease such percentage to any other percentage not in excess of 9.99%, provided that any increase in such percentage shall not be effective until 61 days after such notice to the Company. The PIA Warrant is exercisable for five years from the date of issuance and is exercisable on a cashless exercise basis if there is no effective registration statement. No contractual registration rights were given.

The Company elected to account for the PIA on the fair value basis. Therefore, the Company determined the fair value of the PIA and PIA Warrants which yielded estimated fair values of the PIA including their embedded derivatives and the detachable PIA Warrants as follows:

Proceeds investment agreement		$	9,067,513
Common stock purchase warrants			932,487

Gross cash proceeds		$	10,000,000

During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company settled its patent infringement litigation with WatchGuard whereby it received a lump-sum payment of $6.0 million as further described in Note 11. In accordance with the terms of the PIA, the Company remitted the $6.0 as a principal payment toward its minimum return payment obligations under the PIA. The Company recorded the receipt of the $6,000,000 settlement as Patent litigation settlement income in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations.

The following represents activity in the PIA during the nine months ended September 30, 2019:

Beginning balance as of January 1, 2019		$	9,142,000
Repayment of obligation			(6,000,000	)

Change in the fair value during the period			3,275,000

2019 Secured Convertible Notes.

On August 5, 2019, the Company, entered into a securities purchase agreement with several accredited investors providing for the issuance of (i) the Company’s 8% secured convertible notes due August 4, 2020 with a principal face amount of $2,777,777.78, which convertible notes are, subject to certain conditions, convertible into 1,984,126 shares of the Company’s common stock, at a price per share of $1.40; (ii) five-year warrants to purchase an aggregate of 571,428 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.8125, which warrants are immediately exercisable upon issuance and on a cashless basis if the Warrants have not been registered 180 days after the date of issuance; and (iii) the issuance of shares of common stock equal to 5% of the aggregate purchase price of the convertible notes, with an aggregate value of $125,000 (the “Commitment Shares”). The accredited investors purchased the foregoing securities for an aggregate cash purchase price of $2,500,000.

Pursuant to the purchase agreement, an aggregate of $1,153,320 in principal amount of convertible notes (the “Registered Notes”), the conversion shares underlying the Registered Notes and all of the Commitment Shares were issued to the accredited investors in a registered direct offering pursuant to a prospectus supplement to the Company’s currently effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3. Accordingly, $1,153,320 in original principal amount of our convertible notes were issued as Registered Notes pursuant to the shelf registration statement and therefore freely tradable.

In a related transaction and in accordance with the purchase agreement, the Company issued to the accredited investors in a concurrent private placement pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act provided in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and/or Regulation D promulgated thereunder, (1) the remaining aggregate of $1,624,457.78 in principal amount of convertible notes, (2) the shares of common stock issuable from time to time upon conversion of such convertible notes, and (3) the common shares underlying the common stock purchase warrants. On September 5, 2019, the Company filed a Registration Statement on Form S-1 covering the securities issued in the concurrent private placement including an aggregate of $1,624,457.78 in principal amount of previously non-registered convertible notes, the shares of common stock issuable from time to time upon conversion of such non-registered convertible notes and the common stock underlying the common stock purchase warrants. Such Registration Statement on Form S-1 was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 12, 2019.

In connection with the purchase agreement, the Company and its subsidiary entered into a security agreement, dated as of August 5, 2019, with the investors, pursuant to which the Company and its subsidiary granted a security interest in, among other items, the Company and its subsidiary’s accounts, chattel paper, documents, equipment, general intangibles, instruments and inventory, and all proceeds, as set forth in the security agreement. In addition, pursuant to an intellectual property security agreement, dated as of August 5, 2019, the Company granted a continuing security interest in all of the Company’s right, title and interest in, to and under certain of the Company’s trademarks, copyrights and patents. In addition, the Company’s subsidiary jointly and severally agreed to guarantee and act as surety for the Company’s obligation to repay the convertible notes pursuant to a subsidiary guarantee.

Under the purchase agreement, the convertible notes and warrants contain provisions whereby the accredited investors are prohibited from exercising their rights to convert the notes or exercise the warrants if, as a result of such conversion or exercise, such holder, together with its affiliates, would own more than 4.99% of the total number of shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise. However, the investors may increase or decrease such percentage to any other percentage not in excess of 9.99%, provided that any increase in such percentage shall not be effective until 61 days after such notice to the Company.

The Company elected to account for the secured convertible notes on the fair value basis. Therefore, the Company determined the fair value of the (1) secured convertible notes, (2) the Commitment Shares and (3) the common stock purchase warrants which yielded estimated fair values of the secured convertible notes including their embedded derivatives, the Commitment Shares and the detachable common stock purchase warrants. The following represents the resulting fair value as determined on August 5, 2019, the date of origination:

Secured convertible notes		$	1,845,512
Common stock issued as Commitment Shares			118,749
Common stock purchase warrants			535,739

Gross cash proceeds		$	2,500,000

Under the fair value basis, the Company determines the fair value of the secured convertible notes and adjusts the carrying value of the secured convertible notes at each reporting date with the resulting charge or credit being reflected in the consolidated statement of operations. Following is an analysis of the activity in the secured convertible notes during the nine months ended September 30, 2019:

		Amount
Balance at December 31, 2018		$	—
Issuance of convertible notes on August 5, 2019, at fair value			1,845,512
