Related Party Transactions	Executive Officer Agreements In February 2015, the members of the Compensation Committee revised the annual bonus structure to be paid to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Anthony Hayes, and established an incentive target bonus per the Employment Agreement (a “Target Bonus”). The amount of the Target Bonus shall be (i) $350,000 in cash, which shall be payable in a single lump-sum payment promptly following the consummation of a qualifying strategic transaction, and (ii) a discretionary bonus to be determined by the Compensation Committee, in its sole discretion, prior to the earlier of a proxy solicitation in 2015 in relation to a qualifying strategic transaction or the consummation thereof. The Target Bonus of $350,000 was included in accrued salaries and benefits in the first quarter of 2015 as management determined at that time it was probable that a qualifying strategic transaction would occur. During the second quarter of 2015, the Company’s management determined that it was no longer probable that a qualifying strategic transaction would occur and the accrual of the $350,000 bonus was reversed. On June 30, 2015, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Company accepted the resignation of Richard Cohen as Chief Financial Officer of the Company, effective immediately. In connection therewith, the Company amended and restated its consulting agreement with Chord Advisors, LLC (“Chord”), an advisory firm that provides the Company with certain accounting services, such that it will continue to provide the Company with certain financial accounting and advisory services, with the monthly fee to Chord reduced from $20,000 to $10,000 per month since its affiliate will no longer serve as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer. In connection with the resignation of Mr. Cohen, on June 30, 2015, the Board appointed Frank Reiner, the Interim Chief Financial Officer of the Company, effective immediately. Pursuant to Mr. Reiner’s employment agreement with the Company, dated as of March 14, 2014, as amended (the “Agreement”), the term of Mr. Reiner’s employment is one year and automatically extends for additional one-year terms unless no less than 60 days’ prior written notice of non-renewal is given by Mr. Reiner or the Company. Mr. Reiner’s base salary under the Agreement was $235,000 per year, but in connection with being named Interim Chief Financial Officer, the Board authorized an amendment to the Agreement to increase Mr. Reiner’s base salary to $271,000. Mr. Reiner is also entitled to receive an annual bonus if the Compensation Committee of the Board determines that performance targets have been met. The amount of the annual bonus is determined based on the Company’s gross proceeds from certain monetization of the Company’s intellectual property. Mr. Reiner is also eligible to participate in all employee benefits plans from time to time in effect for the Company’s other senior executive officers. On August 10, 2015, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with Mr. Howard E. Goldberg (d/b/a Forward Vision Associates, of which Mr. Goldberg is the sole proprietor and owner), on an independent contractor basis, pursuant to which Mr. Goldberg will, among other services, provide advisory services to the Company in areas including licensing, litigation and business strategies. The Company will pay Mr. Goldberg an agreed upon quarterly retainer amount of $20,400 (calculated on an hourly basis) and, if applicable, upon exhaustion of each quarterly retainer, at an hourly rate to be paid in equity (for the first 50 hours above the quarterly retainer), and subsequently (if applicable) at an hourly rate thereafter in cash. The Company will reimburse Mr. Goldberg for actual out-of-pocket expenses. The consulting agreement with Mr. Goldberg has an initial term of one year, unless consultant has completed the desired services by an earlier date or unless the agreement is earlier terminated pursuant to its terms. The consulting agreement with Mr. Goldberg may be extended by written agreement of both the Company and consultant. During the three-month period ended September 30, 2015, the Company incurred $20,400 consulting expenses related to this agreement. Mr. Goldberg was also appointed as a director of the Company.
