Sysorex Note Purchase Agreement

On December 31, 2018, the Company and Sysorex entered into a note purchase agreement (the "Note Purchase Agreement") pursuant to which the Company agreed to purchase from Sysorex at a purchase price equal to the Loan Amount (as defined below), a secured promissory note (the "Secured Note") for up to an aggregate principal amount of $3 million (the "Principal Amount"), including any amounts advanced through the date of the Secured Note (the "Prior Advances"), to be borrowed and disbursed in increments (such borrowed amount, together with the Prior Advances, collectively referred to as the "Loan Amount"), with interest to accrue at a rate of 10% percent per annum on all such Loan Amounts, beginning as of the date of disbursement with respect to any portion of such Loan Amount. In addition, Sysorex agreed to pay $20,000 to the Company to cover the Company's legal fees, accounting costs, due diligence, monitoring and other transaction costs incurred in connection with the purchase and sale of the Secured Note (the "Transaction Expense Amount"), all of which amount is included in the Principal Amount. Sysorex may borrow repay and borrow under the Secured Note, as needed, for a total outstanding balance, exclusive of any unpaid accrued interest, not to exceed the Principal Amount at any one time.

All sums advanced by the Company to the Maturity Date (as defined below) pursuant to the terms of the Note Purchase Agreement will become part of the aggregate Loan Amount underlying the Secured Note. All outstanding principal amounts and accrued unpaid interest owing under the Secured Note shall become immediately due and payable on the earlier to occur of (i) 24 month anniversary of the date the Secured Note is issued (the "Maturity Date"), (ii) at such date when declared due and payable by the Company upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in the Secured Note), or (iii) at any such earlier date as set forth in the Secured Note. All accrued unpaid interest shall be payable in cash. On February 4, 2019, April 2, 2019, and May 22, 2019, the Secured Note was amended to increase the Principal Amount that may be outstanding at any time from $3 million to $5 million, $5 million to $8 million and $8 million to $10 million, respectively. On March 1, 2020, the Company extended the maturity date of the Secured Note to December 31, 2022. In addition, the Secured Note was amended to increase the default interest rate from 18% to 21% or the maximum rate allowable by law and to require a cash payment to the Company by Sysorex against the Loan Amount in an amount equal to no less than 6% of the aggregate gross proceeds raised following the completion of any financing, or series of related financings, in which Sysorex raises aggregate gross proceeds of at least $5 million.

In accordance with the terms of the Systat License Agreement (see Note 7), on June 30, 2020, the Company partitioned a portion of the Secured Note into a new note in an amount equal to $3 million in principal plus accrued interest (the "Closing Note") and assigned the Closing Note and all rights and obligations thereunder to Systat in accordance with the terms and conditions of that certain Promissory Note Assignment and Assumption Agreement. An additional $1.3 million of the principal balance underlying the Sysorex Note was partitioned and assigned to Systat as consideration payable for the rights granted under the license as of September 30, 2020. The amount owed for principal and accrued interest by Sysorex to the Company as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 was approximately $7.8 million and $10.6 million, respectively.

The Secured Note has been classified as "held for sale" and the Company, with the assistance of a third-party valuation firm, estimated the fair value of such using Sysorex financial projections, a discounted cash flow model and a 12.3% discount rate. As a result, the Company established a full valuation allowance as of September 30, 2020. The Company is required to periodically re-evaluate the carrying value of the note and the related valuation allowance based on various factors, including, but not limited to, Sysorex's performance and collectability of the note. Sysorex's performance against those financial projections will directly impact future assessments of the fair value of the note.
