LICENSE, SETTLEMENT AND RELEASE AGREEMENT

On December 30, 2015, Finjan entered into a Confidential Patent License, Settlement and Release Agreement (“December 30, 2015 License”), effective December 29, 2015, with a United States-based third party (“Licensee”). The December 30, 2015 License provides for Licensee to pay Finjan the sum of $3.65 million in cash, in which $1.0 million was received on December 30, 2015, $1.65 million is payable on or before July 1, 2016, and $1.0 million is payable on or before September 30, 2016. The Company recognized $1.0 million of the $3.65 million license as revenues as of December 31, 2015, as such amount was determined to be fixed and determinable, in accordance with the Company’s revenue recognition policy as described in Note 3. The remaining balance of $2.65 million under the terms of the December 30, 2015 License will be recognized as revenues when the payments are due. In exchange for the foregoing and other valuable consideration, Finjan agreed to, subject to certain restrictions, limits and other conditions, grant Licensee a non-exclusive, irrevocable (except in the case of non-payment by Licensee or other material breach), worldwide license under Finjan Patents during the Term as specified in the December 30, 2015 License.

On November 15, 2015, Finjan entered into a Confidential Patent License, Settlement and Release Agreement (“November 15, 2015 License”), effective November 15, 2015, with a European-based third-party (“European Licensee”). The November 15, 2015 License provides for European Licensee to pay Finjan the sum of $2.975 million in cash on or before 14 days after the Effective date, which was received on November 27, 2015. Finjan recognized all of the $2.975 million license as revenues as of December 31, 2015, as such amount was determined to be fixed and determinable, in accordance with the Company’s revenue recognition policy as described in Note 3. In exchange for the foregoing and other valuable consideration, Finjan agreed to, subject to certain restrictions, limits and other conditions, grant European Licensee a non-exclusive, perpetual, worldwide, fully-paid up irrevocable (except in the case of non-payment by European Licensee or other material breach) license to Finjan Patent Rights as specified in the November 15, 2015 License.

On April 7, 2015, Finjan entered into a Confidential Asset Purchase and Patent License Agreement (the “April 7, 2015 License”), effective as of April 7, 2015, with F-Secure Corporation, a company incorporated in Finland (“F-Secure”). The April 7, 2015 License provides for F-Secure to pay Finjan the sum of $1.0 million in cash, of which $700,000 was received on April 22, 2015 and $300,000 is payable on or before March 31, 2016.  The Company recognized $700,000 of the $1.0 million license as revenues as of September 30, 2015, as such amount was determined to be fixed and determinable, in accordance with the Company’s revenue recognition policy as described in Note 3. The remaining balance of $300,000 under the terms of the April 7, 2015 License will be recognized as revenues when the payments are due. The April 7, 2015 License also provides for the assignment by F-Secure to Finjan of two patents, U.S. Patent Nos. 8,474,048 and 7,769,991, including among other things, all progeny applications or patents, foreign counterparts and reissues (the “F-Secure Patents”). The Company has not yet determined if these patents fit into its business model, therefore any value of these patents would be limited to their cost which would be their filing fees, an immaterial amount. As such, the Company has concluded that their value is de minimis. In exchange for the foregoing and other valuable consideration, Finjan agreed to, subject to certain restrictions, limits and other conditions, grant F-Secure a worldwide, fully-paid, non-exclusive field of use license to Finjan patents owned as of the effective date or acquired by Finjan or its affiliates within two years from the effective date, as well as to the F-Secure Patents.

On September 24, 2014, Finjan entered into a Confidential Patent License, Settlement and Release Agreement (the “September 24, 2014 License”) with Websense, Inc. (“Websense”) against whom Finjan had filed a patent infringement lawsuit.  Pursuant to this September 24, 2014 License, Websense and Finjan also agreed to dismiss the infringement litigation, and each party gave the other a general release for all claims that it might have against the other, known or unknown, based on the actions of either party on or before the date of the settlement. Under the September 24, 2014 License, Websense will pay Finjan a license fee of $8.0 million payable in four installments.  The first installment of $3.0 million was paid upon execution of the agreement and filing of the dismissal with prejudice, the second installment of $2.0 million was received on January 16, 2015, the third installment of $2.0 million was payable on or before January 15, 2016, and received on January 14, 2016. The fourth and final installment of $1.0 million is payable on or before January 13, 2017.  The Company recognized approximately $5.0 million of the $8.0 million license as revenues during 2014. The remaining balance of $3.0 million under the terms of the September 24, 2014 License will be recognized as revenues when the payments are due. Each party also agreed to bear its own legal fees and costs. The Company recognized $0.8 million of legal fees related to this settlement as cost of revenues.  At December 31, 2014, the second installment of $2.0 million was recognized as revenue and accounts receivable, which was received on January 16, 2015. The January 2016 payment was recognized as revenue in 2016.
