ITEM 1.01. ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT.
On February 10, 2005, BroadVision, Inc. (the “Company”) and Metropolitan Life Insurance Company (“Metropolitan Life”) entered into a Settlement Agreement to settle that certain lawsuit filed by Metropolitan Life against the Company on June 10, 2004 in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of Los Angeles. Under the Settlement Agreement, the Company agreed to pay Metropolitan Life an aggregate of $1,927,500 in three installments due in February 2005, May 2005 and September 2005, and in return Metropolitan Life has agreed to dismiss the lawsuit.
In its lawsuit, Metropolitan Life alleged that the Company was liable for unlawful detainer of premises leased from Metropolitan Life. Metropolitan Life thereafter filed a First Amended Complaint alleging that the Company no longer held possession of the premises but was in breach of the lease. The Settlement Agreement will settle approximately $3.1 million of past and future obligations under the lease.
The foregoing is a summary of the material features of the Settlement Agreement. This summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the terms of the Settlement Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.54 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and incorporated herein by reference.
