3.4 [***]
4. SUPPORT.
4.1 IBM Support.
(a) Inventors. The Parties hereto acknowledge that any prosecution, maintenance, reexamination, reissue and enforcement of the Assigned Patents after the Effective Date may require the provision of assistance from employees or agents (to the extent IBM has the authority to control any such agent) of IBM who are inventors on the Assigned Patents (“Inventors”). Upon Finjan Blue’s written request, provided any such Inventor is still employed by or under contract with IBM, at the time of such request, IBM shall timely make available to Finjan Blue the applicable Inventor, by phone and for a reasonable amount of time, to provide factual information related to their inventions in the Assigned Patents. IBM shall direct any such Inventor to provide such assistance to Finjan Blue in a professional, honest and workmanlike manner. Finjan Blue shall reimburse IBM reasonable time and out-of-pocket costs for such support in accordance with IBM’s then current rates for the engineering services of the Inventor, and with respect to contractors, no less than the costs IBM incurs as a result of such contractor providing support in accordance with this Section. IBM does not guarantee the accuracy of any statements or information provided by Inventors under this Section.
With respect to any former IBM employees or current or former consultants (including outside counsel) who are inventors or prosecuting attorneys of an Assigned Patent, IBM agress to waive any of IBM’s confidentiality restrictions (but not any attorney-client privilege relative to the Assigned Patents or the person’s involvement
Confidential Treatment has been requested for portions of this document marked as “[***]”. A complete version of this document has been filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. 4 of 22
therewith) that would prevent such individuals from disclosing information reasonably necessary to provide assistance to Finjan Blue in the same manner as described above for Inventors.
(b) Point of Contact; Privileged Information. Finjan Blue shall not communicate with any IBM employee or contractor in connection with this Agreement or the Assigned Patents other than through the point of contact set forth in Section 13.1 below. Any assistance provided under this Section 4 shall not include an obligation to disclose any attorney-client privileged information, provided, however, IBM may in its discretion waive such privilege and provide such information related to an Assigned Patent. Nothing in this Section 4.1 shall constitute a waiver of Finjan Blue’s legal rights to conduct discovery in connection with any litigation involving an Assigned Patent.
(c) Access to Other Personnel. IBM acknowledges that Finjan Blue may request to speak with subject matter experts of the technology claimed in the Assigned Patents who know the state of the art at the time of the invention, or someone with information regarding the filing or enforcement of the Assigned Patents, and any such request shall be addressed under a separate agreement between the Parties.
4.2 Other Opportunities. Finjan Blue desires and IBM acknowledges Finjan Blue’s interest in pursuing potential technology licensing opportunities and/or joint development opportunities between the Parties. IBM agrees to engage in discussions with Finjan Blue regarding such opportunities.
4.3 Searching LFMS Database. Upon Finjan Blue’s reasonable request, IBM shall within ten (10) business days conduct a search of IBM’s patent licensing database (LFMS) to confirm whether a third party is an IBM Licensee and, to the extent not prohibited by law or contract (and, where applicable, will notify Finjan Blue when it is so prohibited by law or contract), provide a response to Finjan Blue as to whether such search using the third party name provided by Finjan Blue results in a record in LFMS. The foregoing right shall be limited to no more than ten (10) inquiries per calendar year.
4.4 Privileged Information. If Finjan Blue requests IBM confidential information in connection with Sections 4.1 or 4.3 of this Agreement, and if such information has been designated by IBM as privileged, then the Parties may discuss in good faith the possibility of entering into a limited common interest agreement that serves to preserve the privilege with respect to such IBM confindential information.

If the claim alleges an Assigned Patent is invalid or unenforceable, then Finjan Blue shall assume sole control of the defense of the claim at Finjan Blue’s expense. If the claim does not contest the validity or enforceability of any Assigned Patent, then IBM shall have sole control of the defense, at IBM’s expense, and Finjan Blue may participate in the defense with its own counsel at its expense.
12.3 Notice and Cooperation. The indemnified party shall: (a) provide prompt written notice of any claim; and (b) provide the indemnifying party with the authority, information, and assistance that the indemnifying party deems reasonably necessary for the defense and settlement of the claim. An indemnified party shall not make any admission or take any action relating to the claim that it knows is prejudicial to its defense without the indemnifying party’s written consent.
