−Removed: 15% of the net monetization proceeds received from (a) the patents acquired by us from Intellectual Ventures and (b) the patents
−Removed: in our mobile data and financial data intellectual property portfolios.
−Removed: On July 31, 2017, we entered into a monetization agreement
−Removed: with United Wireless pursuant to which we agreed to pay United Wireless 7.5% of the net monetization proceeds from the patents
−Removed: acquired by CXT.
−Removed: This obligation was recorded as an expense and is reflected in interest expenses.
−Removed: CXT’s obligations under
−Removed: the monetization proceeds agreement are secured by a security interest in the proceeds (from litigation or otherwise) from the

−Removed: upon conversion of the notes.
−Removed: agreed that, within 135 days from the closing date ( i.e.
−Removed: , by March 2, 2016), we would increase our authorized common stock
−Removed: from 390,000,000 shares to 1,250,000,000 shares, and, in the event that, in the future, the number of authorized shares of common
−Removed: stock is not sufficient to enable the full conversion of the notes, we will have 135 days to take corporate action, as necessary,
−Removed: so as to have a sufficient number of shares, including to increase the common stock (or effect a reverse split or a combination
−Removed: of an increase in the authorized common stock and a reverse split) to an amount requested by United Wireless, or absent such request,
−Removed: as we believe to be necessary such that there will be sufficient shares of common stock available for full conversion of the notes.
−Removed: United Wireless agreed to vote its shares or give its consent in connection with any such increase in authorized common stock.
−Removed: On January 22, 2016, we filed an amended and restated certificate of incorporation which increased our authorized common stock

−Removed: The failure to have sufficient authorized common stock may result
−Removed: in a Conversion Eligible Event of Default.
−Removed: agreed with United Wireless that, as long as United Wireless’
−Removed: stockholdings exceed 10%, United Wireless has the right to
−Removed: designate one member of the board of directors and at such time and for as long as United Wireless’

−Removed: 24.9%, United Wireless may nominate a second director to the board.
−Removed: Unless a Conversion Eligible Event of Default shall have occurred,
−Removed: United Wireless agreed not to seek to elect a majority of the board for a period of at least three years from the closing date.
−Removed: We agreed that the size of the board would not exceed five during the two years following the closing date.
−Removed: six months from the closing date, if the shares owned by United Wireless cannot be sold pursuant to a registration statement and
−Removed: cannot be sold pursuant to Rule 144 without our being in compliance with the current public information requirements of Rule 144,
−Removed: if we are not in compliance with the current public information requirements, the agreements provide for the payment of damages

−Removed: we are to pay interest quarterly, with the first interest payment being due on December 31, 2018.
−Removed: We have the right to prepay

−Removed: As required under our agreements with United Wireless, we have increased our authorized common stock
−Removed: to 10,000,000,000 shares.
−Removed: However, we cannot assure you that such number of shares would be sufficient to permit conversion of
−Removed: the notes in full if a Conversion Eligible Event of Default should occur.

−Removed: as revenue can be generated from the intellectual property covered by the agreement.
−Removed: monetization proceeds represent the amount by which any consideration received from the patents, including royalty payments and
−Removed: amounts received as a result of litigation relating to the patents exceeds monetization expenses, including legal fees, and certain
