Note 2. Warrants

On October 25, 2010, we entered into a Support Services Agreement (the “Customer Agreement”) with Comcast Cable Communications Management, LLC (“Comcast”) under which Support.com provides technology support services to customers of Comcast in exchange for fees. In connection with the Customer Agreement, Support.com and Comcast entered into a Warrant Agreement, under which Support.com agreed to issue to Comcast warrants to purchase up to 975,000 shares of Support.com common stock in the future in the event that Comcast meets specified sales milestones under the Customer Agreement. Each warrant, if issued, will have an exercise price per share of $4.9498 and a term of three years from issuance. On September 27, 2011, the Company and Comcast amended the Warrant Agreement to extend the expiration date for the performance milestones while maintaining the previously agreed revenue thresholds. The warrants will be valued as they are earned, and the resulting value will be recorded as a charge against revenue in the period in which the performance milestone is met and the warrant is earned. During the third quarter of 2013, the performance milestones for the first tranche of warrants were met. Therefore, we issued to Comcast warrants to purchase 166,000 shares of our common stock and recorded warrant-related charges of $383,000 against revenue for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2013. The value of the first tranche of warrants was estimated using the following assumptions: risk-free interest rate of 0.64%, expected term of 3 years, volatility of 58.51% and expected dividend of 0%. As of September 30, 2013, the performance milestones for the second tranche (warrants to purchase 324,000 shares) and the third tranche (warrants to purchase 485,000 shares) have not been met.
