In connection with the terms of the agreement, the Company does not have a present obligation to pay any amounts until such time as the litigation has been settled or an event of default has occurred. In the event of an award or settlement of the litigation, the Company will be obligated to pay Bench Walk the greater of 10% of such award or settlement and $2,000,000 or $3,000,000 if the litigation proceeds to trial.

4 Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, patent litigation, restructuring and other costs. Adjusted EBITDA does not have any standardized meaning prescribed under IFRS and is therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA allows Route1 to compare its operating performance over time on a consistent basis.

Route1 generated net cash flow from operating activities of approximately $0.43 million during Q3 2019 compared with $0.43 million in Q3 2018. Non-cash working capital used was $0.41 million in Q3 2019 compared to $0.97 million in cash generated during the same period a year earlier. Net cash generated by the day-to-day operations for the three months ended September 30, 2019 was nil compared to $1.40 million in Q3 2018.
