RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT
 
This Restricted Stock Unit Agreement (this “Agreement”), dated [INSERT DATE HERE] (the “Grant Date”), is by and between Finjan Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and [INSERT NAME HERE] (the “Grantee”).

In accordance with Section 9 of the Finjan Holdings, Inc. 2014 Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Plan”), and subject to the terms of the Plan and this Agreement, the Company hereby grants to the Grantee an award of Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”) on the terms and conditions as set forth below.  Each RSU covered by this Agreement represents an unfunded and unsecured promise of the Company to issue to the Grantee, on or after the date the RSUs become vested, the Fair Market Value of one Share per such RSU.  All capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings as set forth in the Plan.

To evidence the award of RSUs and to set forth its terms, the Company and the Grantee agree as follows:

1. Grant.  The Committee hereby grants to the Grantee on the Grant Date [INSERT NUMBER HERE] RSUs (subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4.2 of the Plan).

2. Vesting of the RSUs.  The aggregate RSU award will cease to have any Restrictions and shall become non-forfeitable and payable to the Grantee as follows:  [[INSERT VESTING TERMS, E.G.,:][One-third (1/3) of the RSUs will cease to have Restrictions and shall become non-forfeitable and payable to the Grantee on the first anniversary of the Grant Date and an additional one-twelfth (1/12) of the RSUs will cease to have Restrictions and shall become non-forfeitable and payable to the Grantee on each of the eight quarterly anniversaries of the Grant Date following the first anniversary of the Grant Date (each such date, a “Vesting Date”).]]

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2, and except as otherwise determined by the Committee, as provided in the Plan or as provided herein, any portion of the RSUs that is not vested at the time of the Grantee’s Termination of Service with the Company and its Subsidiaries will be immediately cancelled and forfeited to the Company[, provided, however, in the event the Grantee’s Termination of Service is because of the Grantee’s death or Disability or is without Cause, the greater of: (a) an additional one-twelfth (1/12) of the RSUs will cease to have Restrictions and shall become non-forfeitable and payable to the Grantee on the date of such Termination of Service or (b) any RSUs that would have vested in the three-month period following such Termination of Service will cease to have Restrictions and shall become non-forfeitable and payable to the Grantee on the date of such Termination of Service].
 
 
 

 
 
3. Payment upon Vesting of RSUs.  Subject to the terms of this Agreement, following the vesting of RSUs hereunder, the Company, in its sole discretion, shall issue to the Grantee (or, in the event of the Grantee’s death, to his or her Beneficiary) either (i) the number of Shares of a Fair Market Value equal to the value of to the number of vested RSUs (with one RSU having a value equal to the Fair Market Value of one Share) or (ii) a cash payment which is equal to the value of clause (i).  Such issuance shall be made to the Grantee either in the form of Shares or cash as soon as administratively practicable, but in no event later than two and one-half months following the end of the calendar year in which the RSUs vest pursuant to Section 2 above.
 
4. Limitation Upon Transfer.  At any time prior to vesting in accordance with Section 2, the RSUs, or any interest therein, shall not (a) be transferred by the Grantee, other than by will, by the laws of descent and distribution, or to a Permitted Transferee; (b) be otherwise assigned, pledged or hypothecated in any way; and (c) be subject to execution, attachment or similar process.  Any attempt to transfer the RSUs, or any interest therein, other than as permitted in the preceding sentence shall be void and unenforceable against the Company or any Subsidiary; provided, however, that the Grantee may designate a Beneficiary to receive benefits in the event of Grantee’s death.
