Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

Summary of Agreements with QPRC Finance III LLC ("QF3")

On March 12, 2023, the Company and its newly formed wholly-owned subsidiary, Harbor Island Dynamic LLC ("Harbor"), entered into a series of agreements, all dated March 12, 2023, with QF3, a non-affiliated party, including a prepaid forward purchase agreement (the "Purchase Agreement"), a security agreement (the "Security Agreement"), a patent security agreement (the "Patent Security Agreement" together with the Security Agreement, the Patent Security Agreement, and the Purchase Agreement, the "Investment Documents") pursuant to which, at the closing held contemporaneously with the execution of the agreements:





       (i)    Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, QF3 agreed to make available to
              the Company a financing facility of: (a) up to $4,000,000 for
              operating expenses; (b) $3,300,000 to fund the cash portion of the
              purchase price of a patent portfolio Harbor is to purchase from
              Tower Semiconductor Ltd. ("Tower"); and (c) up to an additional
              $25,000,000 for the acquisition of mutually agreed patent rights
              that the Company would intend to monetize. In return, the Company
              transferred to QF3 a right to receive a portion of net proceeds
              generated from the monetization of those patents, including the
              patent portfolio being acquired from Tower. The terms of the
              Purchase Agreement are described under "QF3 Purchase Agreement."




       (ii)   Pursuant to the Security Agreement, the Company's obligations under
              the Purchase Agreement with QF3 are secured by: (a) the value of
              anything received from the monetization of the intellectual property
              rights covered by the Security Agreement; (b) the patents (as
              defined in the Security Agreement); (c) all general intangibles now
              or hereafter arising from or related to the foregoing (a) and (b);
              and (d) proceeds (including, without limitation, cash proceeds and
              insurance proceeds) and products of the foregoing (a)-(c).




       (iii)  Pursuant to the Patent Security Agreement, the Company and Harbor
              granted QF3 a first priority continuing security interest in and
              lien upon Collateral covered by the Security Agreement. The Patent
              Security Agreement is the instrument that is filed with the United
              States Patent and Trademark Office and other government agencies to
              perfect QF3's security interest in the Collateral.



The Company intends to use $3,300,000 of proceeds from the QF3 financing as the cash portion of the purchase price of a ten-patent portfolio (the "HID Portfolio") from Tower Semiconductor Ltd. ("Tower"); pursuant to an agreement under which Harbor retains a negotiated return on an amount equal to the cash purchase price plus any costs and fees incurred by Tower, after which Tower is entitled to a portion of net proceeds, as defined in the agreement, realized, if any. QF3 has wired the funds to the Company, subject to obtaining the execution by Intelligent Partners LLC of the intercreditor agreement describe below prior to March 17, 2023 (or such later date as may be acceptable to QF3). Upon receipt of the intercreditor agreement, the Company will acquire the HID Portfolio from Tower. If the intercreditor agreement is not signed the funds will be returned to QF3.





QF3 Purchase Agreement



Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, QF3 agreed to make available to us a financing facility of: (a) up to $4,000,000 for operating expenses; (b) $3,300,000 to fund the cash payment portion of the purchase of a patent portfolio from Tower Semiconductor Ltd. ("Tower"); and (c) up to an additional $25,000,000 for the acquisition of mutually agreed additional patent rights that the Company would intend to monetize. In return, the Company transferred to QF3 the right to receive a portion of net proceeds generated from the monetization of those patents. After QF3 has received a negotiated rate of return, the Company and QF3 shall share net proceeds equally until QF3 shall have achieved its Investment Return (as defined therein). Thereafter, we shall retain 100% of all net proceeds. Except in an Event of Default, as defined therein, all payments by us to QF3 pursuant to the Purchase Agreement are non-recourse and shall be paid only if and after net proceeds from monetization of the patent rights owned or acquire by us are received, or to be received.





                                       1




Events of Default include any breach of the Investment Documents, including non-payment, material misrepresentation, security interest compromise, criminal indictment or felony conviction of one or our officers or directors, our current chief executive no longer serving as our chief executive or as a director, the occurrence of any Event of Default under the Restructure Agreement with Intelligent Partners, LLC, as defined therein, and our insolvency. In addition to all rights and remedies available under law and the Investment Documents, upon and Event of Default, QF3 may: (i) declare the Investment Return immediately due and payable, (ii) except in the event of our insolvency, declare an amount equal to the aggregate amount of the capital provided pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, plus a late charge, immediately due and payable, or (iii) cease making capital available to us.

Under the agreement, QF3 may terminate capital advances other than in an Event of Default by giving written notice to us in which case QF3's interest in Net Proceeds shall be an amount equal to the greater of (i) the capital advanced to us plus interest at the prime rate, on the one hand, and (ii) Net Proceeds received by QF3 prior to the date of such termination.
