In addition, a 3% per annum paid-in-kind (PIK) interest will be paid by increasing the principal amount of the Fortress Notes by the amount of such interest.

Contract Claims Description											the Company is required to apply, towards its obligations pursuant to the Fortress Notes, 86% of the difference between (a) any revenues generated from the Monetization Revenue less (b) any litigation or licensing related third party expenses (including fees paid to the original patent owners) reasonably incurred by the Company to earn Monetization Revenue, subject to certain limits (such difference defined as Monetization Net Revenues). If Monetization Net Revenue is applied to outstanding principal of the Fortress Notes (defined as Mandatory Prepayments), such Mandatory Prepayments are not subject to the prepayment premium described above. To the extent that any obligations under the Fortress Notes are past due, including if such payments are past due as a result of an Acceleration of the Fortress Notes or certain conditions of breach or alleged breach have occurred, the percentage will increase from 86% to 100%.
Payments for Fees				385,000
Revenue Recognition Under Agreement Description											the Company granted to the purchasers identified in the Fortress Agreement (Revenue Participants) a right to receive a portion of the Companys Monetization Revenues totaling $8,539,650 (unless the Revenue Participants have not received $8,539,650 by the Maturity Date, in which case the Revenue Participants have a right to receive a portion of Monetization Revenues totaling $10,369,575) (the Revenue Stream).
Revenue Recognition of Participants Under Proportionate Share Agreement Description											The Revenue Participants will not receive any portion of the Revenue Stream until all obligations under the Fortress Notes are paid in full. Following payment in full of the Fortress Notes, the Company will pay to the Revenue Participants their proportionate share of the Monetization Net Revenues. The Revenue Participants proportionate share is equal to (a) 46% of Monetization Net Revenues until $5,489,775 has been paid to the Revenue Participants, (b) 31% of Monetization Net Revenues until the next $2,744,888 has been paid to the Revenue Participants and (c) 6% of Monetization Net Revenues until the remaining amount has been paid to the Revenue Participants if (a) and (b) have not been fully paid by the Maturity Date. Under the terms of the Second Amendment, should Monetization Net Revenues result from the sale of patents (a Patent Sale), the Revenue Participants proportionate share will be, following payment in full of the Fortress Notes, 75% of the next $6,666,667 of net proceeds from a Patent Sale, and 50% of remaining net proceeds until an additional $3,539,650 is paid ($5,369,575 if paid after the Maturity Date). All Revenue Stream Payments will be payable on a monthly basis in arrears. The rights of the Revenue Participants to the Revenue Stream are secured by all of the Companys current patent assets and the Cash Collateral Account, in each case junior in priority to the rights of the Note Purchasers. In connection with the Revenue Participants right to receive a portion of the Companys Monetization Revenues, the Company has recorded a net liability of $6,034,278, which represents theamount of the expected Monetization Revenues, discounted 18% over the expected life of the revenue share agreement.
