Proxy Statement
 
August 9, 2005
 
The accompanying proxy is solicited on behalf of the Board of Directors of Mobilepro Corp., a Delaware corporation (referred to herein as “Mobilepro” or the “Company”), for use at the 2005 Annual Stockholders Meeting (the “2005 Annual Meeting”) to be held at the Marriott Bethesda Suites, 6711 Democracy Blvd., Bethesda, Maryland 20817, on Friday, August 19, 2005 at 10:00 a.m., local time. This proxy statement and the accompanying form of proxy card is being mailed to stockholders on or about August 9, 2005. Our annual report for fiscal year 2005 is enclosed with this proxy statement.
 
INFORMATION CONCERNING VOTING AND PROXY SOLICITATION
 
Voting
 
Each stockholder is entitled to one vote for each share of Mobilepro common stock (“Common Stock”) with respect to all matters presented at the 2005 Annual Meeting. Stockholders do not have the right to cumulate their votes in the election of directors.
 
Record Date
 
Only stockholders of record at the close of business (5:00 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time) on July 15, 2005 (the “Record Date”) are entitled to notice of and to vote at the meeting and at any adjournment or postponement thereof. Stockholders of record will be entitled to one vote for each share of Common Stock held. For information regarding holders of more than 5% of the outstanding Common Stock, see “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management.”
 
Shares Outstanding
 
At the close of business on the Record Date, there were 379,978,011 shares of Common Stock outstanding. The closing price of our Common Stock on the Record Date, as reported by the OTC Bulletin Board market was $0.32 per share.

Quorum; Effect of Abstentions and “Broker Non−Votes”
 
A majority of the shares of Common Stock outstanding on the Record Date, present in person or represented by proxy, will constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at the meeting.
 
If stockholders indicate on their proxy card that they wish to abstain from voting, including brokers holding their customers’ shares of record who cause abstentions to be recorded, these shares are considered present and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. These shares will count toward determining whether or not a quorum is present. However, these shares will not be taken into account in determining the outcome of any of the proposals.
 
If a stockholder does not give a proxy to its broker with instructions as to how to vote the shares, the broker has authority under New York Stock Exchange rules to vote those shares for or against “routine” matters, such as the election of directors to our Board and the ratification of Bagell, Josephs & Company, L.L.C., as our independent registered public accounting firm. Brokers cannot vote on their customers’ behalf on “non−routine” proposals such as the amendment of our Certificate of Incorporation. These rules apply to us notwithstanding the fact that shares of our Common Stock are traded on the OTC Bulletin Board market. If a broker votes shares that are unvoted by its customers
 
5

 
 for or against a “routine” proposal, these shares are counted for the purpose of establishing a quorum and will also be counted for the purpose of determining the outcome of such “routine” proposals. If a broker chooses to leave these shares unvoted, even on “routine” matters, they will be counted for the purpose of establishing a quorum, but not for determining the outcome of any of the proposals.
 
Voting Rights; Required Vote
 
Holders of Mobilepro Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each share held as of the record date. The effect of abstentions (i.e., if you or your broker mark “ABSTAIN” on a proxy card) and broker non−votes on the counting of votes for each proposal is described below. Broker non−votes occur when shares held by a broker for a beneficial owner are not voted with respect to a particular proposal because (1) the broker does not receive voting instructions from the beneficial owner, and (2) the broker lacks discretionary authority to vote the shares. Banks and brokers cannot vote on their clients’ behalf on “non−routine” proposals, such as the amendment of our Certificate of Incorporation. For the purpose of determining whether stockholders have approved a matter, abstentions are treated as shares present or represented and voting. Broker non−votes are not counted or deemed to be present or represented for the purpose of determining whether stockholders have approved a matter, though they are counted toward the presence of a quorum as discussed above.
 
The votes required to approve each proposal are as follows:
 
• Election of Directors. Directors will be elected by a plurality of the votes of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote in the election of directors. Abstentions and broker non−votes are not taken into account in determining the outcome of the election of directors.
 
• Amendment of Certificate of Incorporation. Approval of the proposal to amend Mobilepro’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation in Proposal No. 3 requires the affirmative vote by holders of at least a majority of shares of Mobilepro Common Stock outstanding on the record date. Abstentions and broker non−votes will have the effect of a vote against this proposal.
 
• Remaining Proposals. Approval of each of the remaining proposals requires the affirmative vote by holders of at least a majority of the shares of Mobilepro Common Stock who attend the meeting in person, or are represented at the meeting by proxy. Abstentions will have the effect of a vote against each of these proposals, while broker non−votes will not be taken into account in determining the outcome of the vote on these proposals.

This Proxy Statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Board of Directors of Mobilepro Corp. to be voted at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held at the Marriott Bethesda Suites, 6711 Democracy Blvd., Bethesda, Maryland 20817 on Friday, August 19, 2005 at 10:00 a.m. local time. The Board of Directors would like to have all stockholders represented at the meeting. Please complete, sign and return your proxy card in the enclosed return envelope, telephone the toll-free number listed on your proxy card, or use the Internet site listed on your proxy card.
 
The accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting, this Proxy Statement and the proxy card are first being mailed to stockholders on or about August 9, 2005. Mobilepro’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the recently completed fiscal year, which includes the consolidated financial statements of the Company, is also enclosed.
 
Only holders of record of the Company’s Common Stock at the close of business on the Record Date will be entitled to vote at the annual meeting or any adjournments or postponements of such meeting. On the Record Date, the Company had 379,978,011 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding. In the election of directors, and for any other matters to be voted upon at the 2005 Annual Meeting, each issued and outstanding share of Common Stock is entitled to one vote.

You may revoke your proxy at any time before it is voted. Unless so revoked, the shares represented by such proxies will be voted at the annual meeting and all adjournments thereof. You may revoke your proxy at any time before it is voted by delivering written notice of revocation to the Secretary of the Company at 6701 Democracy Blvd., Suite 300, Bethesda, MD 20817, by executing and delivering a subsequently dated proxy, by voting by telephone or through the Internet on a later date, or by attending the annual meeting and voting in person. Proxies solicited by the Board of Directors of the Company will be voted in accordance with the directions given therein. Where no instructions are indicated, proxies will be voted in accordance with the recommendations of the Board of Directors with respect to the proposal described herein.
 
6

 
A quorum of stockholders is necessary to take action at the 2005 Annual Meeting. The presence, in person or by proxy, of the holders of a majority of the shares of Common Stock of the Company entitled to vote at the meeting will constitute a quorum. Votes cast by proxy or in person at the meeting will be tabulated by the inspector of elections appointed for the meeting and will be counted as present for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present. The inspector of elections will treat broker non-votes as present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present. “Broker non-votes” refers to a broker or other nominee holding shares for a beneficial owner not voting on a particular proposal because the broker or other nominee does not have discretionary voting power regarding that item and has not received instructions from the beneficial owner.
 
The expenses of solicitation, including the cost of printing and mailing, will be paid by us. Proxies are being solicited principally by mail, by telephone and by e-mail. In addition, directors, officers and regular employees of the Company may solicit proxies personally, by telephone, by fax or by special letter. The Company may also reimburse brokers, nominees and other fiduciaries for their reasonable expenses in forwarding proxy materials to beneficial owners.
 
Voting of Proxies
Most stockholders have three options for submitting their votes: (1) via the Internet, (2) by telephone or (3) by mail. If you have Internet access, you may submit your proxy from any location in the world by following the “Vote by Internet” instructions on the proxy card. If you live in the United States or Canada, you may submit your proxy by following the “Vote by Telephone” instructions on the proxy card. If you complete and properly sign each proxy card you receive and return it in the prepaid envelope to us, it will be voted in accordance with the specifications made on the proxy card. If no specification is made on a signed and returned proxy card, the shares represented by the proxy will be voted “for” each proposal, including “for” the election to the Board of each of the nominees named on the proxy card, and “for” any other matter that may be properly brought before the meeting. We encourage stockholders with Internet access to record your vote on the Internet or, alternatively, to vote by telephone. Internet and telephone voting is convenient, saves on postage and mailing costs, and is recorded immediately, minimizing risk that postal delays may cause your vote to arrive late and therefore not be counted. If you attend the annual meeting, you may also vote in person, and any previously submitted votes will be superseded by the vote you cast at the annual meeting.
 
Adjournment of Meeting
 
If a quorum is not present to transact business at the meeting or if we do not receive sufficient votes in favor of the proposals by the date of the meeting, the persons named as proxies may propose one or more adjournments of the meeting to permit solicitation of proxies. Any adjournment would require the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting.
 
Expenses of Soliciting Proxies
 
We will pay the expenses of soliciting proxies for the meeting. After the original mailing of the proxies and other soliciting materials, we and/or our agents may also solicit proxies by mail, telephone, telegraph, facsimile, e-mail or in person. After the original mailing of the proxy cards and other soliciting materials, we will request that brokers, custodians, nominees and other record holders of our Common Stock forward copies of the proxy cards and other soliciting materials to persons for whom they hold shares and request authority for the exercise of proxies. We will reimburse the record holders for their reasonable expenses if they ask us to do so.

Revocability of Proxies

Any person signing a proxy card in the form accompanying this proxy statement has the power to revoke it at any time before it is voted. A proxy may be revoked by signing and returning a proxy card with a later date, by delivering a written notice of revocation to Interwest Transfer Company 1981 East Murray-Holladay Road, P. O. Box 17136, Salt Lake City, Utah 84121, that the proxy is revoked or by attending the meeting and voting in person. The mere presence at the meeting of a stockholder who has previously appointed a proxy will not revoke the appointment. Please note, however, that if a stockholder’s shares are held of record by a broker, bank or other nominee and that stockholder wishes to vote at the meeting, the stockholder must bring to the meeting a letter from the broker, bank or other nominee confirming the stockholder’s beneficial ownership of the shares and that the broker, bank or other nominee is not voting the shares at the meeting. In the event of multiple online or telephone votes by a stockholder, each vote will supersede the previous vote and the last vote cast will be deemed to be the final vote of the stockholder unless such vote is revoked in person at the meeting according to the revocability instructions outlined above.

Audit Committee. The Audit Committee is currently comprised of Messrs. O’Neil, MacFarland and Sledge, each of whom meets the independence and other requirements for audit committee members under the rules of The Nasdaq Stock Market. During fiscal 2005, the Audit Committee did not meet. The Board of Directors has determined that Mr. O’Neil is an “audit committee financial expert” as defined by SEC regulations. The Board has also determined that one or more other members of the Audit Committee may also meet the definition of “audit committee financial expert” as defined by SEC regulations. The Audit Committee assists the Board in its oversight of our financial accounting, reporting and controls by meeting with members of management and our independent auditors. The committee has the responsibility to review our annual audited financial statements, and meets with management and the independent auditors at the end of each quarter to review the quarterly financial results. In addition, the committee considers and approves the employment of, and approves the fee arrangements with, independent auditors for audit and other functions. The Audit Committee reviews our accounting policies and internal controls. The Audit Committee has a written charter which was adopted on June 16, 2005. The Audit Committee charter is also available in Exhibit A to this proxy statement.

Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee is currently comprised of Messrs. Sledge, MacFarland and O’Neil. During fiscal 2005, the Compensation Committee met one time. The Compensation Committee recommends cash-based and stock compensation for executive officers of Mobilepro, administers the Company’s equity performance plan and makes recommendations to the Board regarding such matters. The Compensation Committee has a written charter which was adopted on June 16, 2005. A copy of the Compensation Committee charter is available on our website at www.mobileprocorp.com.

Nominating and Governance Committee. The Nominating and Governance Committee is currently comprised of Messrs. MacFarland, O’Neil and Sledge. During fiscal 2005, the Nominating and Governance Committee did not meet. The Nominating and Governance Committee is entrusted with responsibility for consideration and review of corporate governance matters in addition to its responsibilities for nominating candidates for membership to the Board. The Nominating and Governance Committee has a written charter which was adopted on April 26, 2005. A copy of the Nominating and Governance Committee charter is available on our website at www.mobileprocorp.com.

Independent Directors

Each of our directors other than Mr. Wright and Mr. Beech qualifies as “independent” in accordance with the rules of The Nasdaq Stock Market. The Nasdaq independence definition includes a series of objective tests, such as that the director is not an employee of the Company and has not engaged in various types of business dealings with the Company. In addition, as further required by the Nasdaq rules, the Board has made a subjective determination as to each independent director that no relationships exist which, in the opinion of the Board, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director.

Communication with the Board

You may contact the Board of Directors by sending an e-mail to Jay Wright at jwright22@closecall.com or by mail to Board of Directors, Mobilepro Corp., 6701 Democracy Blvd., Suite 300, Bethesda, MD 20817.

Director Nomination Process

The Nominating and Governance Committee is responsible for identifying and recommending to the Board of Directors candidates for directorships. The Nominating and Governance Committee considers candidates for Board membership who are recommended by members of the Nominating and Governance Committee, other Board members, members of management and stockholders. Our President and Chief Executive Officer nominated all of the current nominees for the Board of Directors. Once the Nominating and Governance Committee has identified prospective nominees for director, the Lead Director, after discussions with the Chairman of the Board, may extend an invitation to join the Board of Directors. Additionally, nominees may be appointed to the Board of Directors by a majority vote of the independent directors on the Board of Directors. There is no formal procedure by which stockholders may recommend a candidate for the Board of Directors.
 
11

 
As set forth in the Nominating and Governance Committee Charter, the Board of Directors seeks to identify as candidates for director persons of the highest ethical standards and integrity who are willing to act on and be accountable for Board of Director decisions. The Board of Directors also seeks individuals who have an ability to provide wise, informed, and thoughtful counsel to top management on a range of issues, a history of achievement that reflects superior standards for themselves and others, a loyalty and commitment to driving the success of the Company, and an ability to take tough positions while at the same time working as a team player. In addition, the Board of Directors seeks candidates with a background that provides a portfolio of experience and knowledge commensurate with the Company’s needs.

Compensation of Directors

We are providing our independent directors $2,500 per month as compensation for services provided as a Director.

In April 2004, in connection with his agreement to serve on our Board of Directors, we granted Mr. Lozinsky a warrant to purchase 6,000,000 shares of our Common Stock, at an exercise price of $0.018 per share. 4,000,000 of the 6,000,000 shares related to prior services rendered and the remaining 2,000,000 were for future services, 1,000,000 of which vested in April 2005 and the remaining 1,000,000 in April 2006. Mr. Lozinsky subsequently resigned from our Board of Directors in May 2005. The Company expects to rely on Mr. Lozinsky for assistance with matters occurring during Mr. Lozinsky’s tenure as a Director and his understanding of the markets the Company entered while he was a Director.

Prior to his election to our Board of Directors, Mr. O’Neil had been serving on our advisory board. In connection with his service on the advisory board, in January 2004, we granted Mr. O’Neil a warrant to purchase 800,000 shares of our Common Stock, at an exercise price of $0.02 per share. Mr. O’Neil’s warrant is fully vested and exercisable.

Prior to his election to our Board of Directors, Mr. MacFarland had been serving on our advisory board. In connection with his service on the advisory board, in March 2004, we granted Mr. MacFarland an option to purchase 800,000 shares of our Common Stock, at an exercise price of $0.10 per share, of which 600,000 are fully vested. The remaining 200,000 will vest in February 2006.

In January 2005, in connection with his agreement to serve on our Board of Directors, we granted Mr. Sledge a warrant to purchase 500,000 shares of our Common Stock, at an exercise price of $0.185 per share. The warrants began vesting quarterly in January 2005, and concluding in October 2005

In April 2005 we granted each of our independent directors, Messrs. MacFarland, O’Neil and Sledge a warrant to purchase 250,000 shares of our Common Stock, at an exercise price of $0.15 per share, which warrants vest ratably from April 1, 2005 to March 31, 2006. These warrants were granted by Mr. Wright on April 20, 2005 and ratified by the Board of Directors on June 16, 2005.

As inside directors, neither Mr. Wright nor Mr. Beech receives any separate compensation for their service on our Board of Directors.

Options granted to our Directors have been priced at market based upon the closing bid price of our common stock at the time of grant.

Advisory Board

The advisory board is available to assist our CEO, at his request, with business issues where such advisory board member may have applicable expertise. The advisory board members receive options or warrants for shares of our common stock in an amount determined by discussions between our CEO and the prospective advisory board member. The options or warrants vest over time and are granted at fair market value at the time of grant.

PROPOSAL NO. 2

AMENDMENT TO 2001 EQUITY PERFORMANCE PLAN
TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF SHARES RESERVED UNDER THE PLAN

During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005, we issued 446,037 shares of Common Stock pursuant to the exercise of stock options granted under our 2001 Equity Performance Plan (the “2001 Plan”). As of July 5, 2005, 53,963 shares remain reserved for issuance under the stockholder approved 2001 Plan, not including the 29,000,000 additional shares that would be authorized if the amendment described below is approved.

Proposal
 
At the meeting, our stockholders will be asked to consider and vote upon a proposal to amend Mobilepro’s 2001 Plan, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit B, to make available for issuance thereunder an additional 29,000,000 shares of our Common Stock, which will raise the 2001 Plan’s limit on shares that may be issued pursuant to awards granted thereunder from 1,000,000 to 30,000,000.
 
The Board of Directors believes that the amendment to increase the shares of Mobilepro Common Stock available for issuance under the 2001 Plan is in the best interests of Mobilepro. The primary purpose of the 2001 Plan is to provide employees of Mobilepro with a convenient means to acquire an equity interest in Mobilepro, to provide to employees incentives based on an increase in the value of Mobilepro’s Common Stock, and to provide an incentive for continued employment. The Board believes that reserving additional shares is necessary to ensure that Mobilepro can meet these goals.
 
Without the 29,000,000 shares that are the subject of this proposal, stockholders have previously approved a total of 1,000,000 shares of Mobilepro’s Common Stock for issuance upon the exercise of options granted under the 2001 Plan. As of July 5, 2005, a total of 796,037 shares had been purchased upon the exercise of options issued under the stockholder approved 2001 Plan, and a total of 150,000 shares of Mobilepro Common Stock were subject to outstanding options that have been granted pursuant to the stockholder approved 2001 Plan to one person, leaving 53,963 shares reserved for future stock option grants under the stockholder approved 2001 Plan. The option to purchase 150,000 shares are exercisable at a price of $0.25 per share. During fiscal year 2005, an option to purchase 150,000 shares was granted by Mobilepro to an employee and no options to purchase shares were granted directors under the stockholder approved 2001 Plan. In addition, options to purchase 100,000 shares were canceled.
 
Raising the 2001 Plan’s limit on shares that may be issued pursuant to awards granted thereunder from 1,000,000 to 30,000,000 could have a dilutive effect on the earnings per share, voting power and share holdings of current stockholders.
 
There are no current plans to issue awards under this plan.
 
Summary of 2001 Equity Performance Plan
 
The following is a summary of the principal provisions of the 2001 Plan as proposed to be amended. This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the 2001 Plan, which is included as Exhibit B hereto.

History. On November 1, 2001, the Board of Directors and stockholders approved the 2001 Plan under which employees, officers, directors and consultants are eligible to receive grants of stock options. In April 2004, the Board of Directors approved an increase in the number of shares reserved for issuance under the 2001 Plan to 6,000,000. On June 16, 2005, the Board of Directors approved a further increase in the number of shares reserved for issuance under the 2001 Plan to 30,000,000.

Administration. Mobilepro’s Compensation Committee currently administers the 2001 Plan. The Committee determines the persons who are to receive awards, the number of shares subject to each such award and the terms and conditions
 
14

 
of such awards. The Committee also has the authority to interpret the provisions of the 2001 Plan and of any awards granted thereunder and to modify awards granted under the 2001 Plan. The Committee may not, however, reprice options issued under the 2001 Plan without prior approval of the Company’s stockholders.
 
Eligibility. The 2001 Plan provides that awards may be granted to employees, officers, directors, consultants, independent contractors and advisors of Mobilepro or of any parent, subsidiary or affiliate of Mobilepro as the Committee may determine. As of May 27, 2005, approximately 270 people were eligible to participate in the 2001 Plan. Over the term of the 2001 Plan, none of our named executive officers or directors have been granted options to purchase shares of Common Stock under the 2001 Plan. Over the term of the stockholder approved 2001 Plan, current employees as a group have been granted options to purchase 500,000 shares. No person will be eligible to receive more than 2,000,000 shares in any calendar year pursuant to the grant of awards under the 2001 Plan. A person may be granted more than one award under the 2001 Plan.

Shares that are subject to issuance upon exercise of an option under the 2001 Plan but cease to be subject to such option for any reason (other than exercise of such option), and shares that are subject to an award granted under the 2001 Plan but are forfeited or repurchased by Mobilepro at the original issue price, or that are subject to an award that terminates without shares being issued, will again be available for grant and issuance under the 2001 Plan.

Terms of Options. The Committee determines many of the terms and conditions of each option granted under the 2001 Plan, including whether the option is to be an incentive stock option (“ISO”) or a non-qualified stock option (“NQSO”), the number of shares for which the option will be granted, and the exercise price of the option and the periods during which the option may be exercised. Each option is evidenced by a stock option agreement in such form as the Committee approves and is subject to the following conditions (as described in further detail in the 2001 Plan):

(a) Vesting and Exercisability: Options and restricted shares become vested and exercisable, as applicable, within such periods, or upon such events, as determined by the Committee in its discretion and as set forth in the related stock option or restricted stock agreement. The term of each option is also set by the Committee. However, no option may be exercisable after ten years from the date of grant, and no ISO granted to a 10% stockholder can be exercisable after five years from the date of grant.

(b) Exercise Price: Each stock option agreement states the related option exercise price, which may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the shares of Mobilepro Common Stock on the date of the grant. The exercise price of an ISO granted to a 10% stockholder may not be less than 110% of the fair market value of shares of Mobilepro Common Stock on the date of grant. The exercise price for non-employee director option grants may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the shares of Mobilepro Common Stock on the date of grant. On July 5, 2005, the fair market value of Mobilepro’s Common Stock was $0.34 (or an aggregate market value of $69,347) for all shares subject to issuance under options authorized for issuance pursuant to the 2001 Plan).

(c) Method of Exercise: The option exercise price is typically payable in cash or by check, but may also be payable, at the discretion of the Committee, in a number of other forms of consideration.

(d) Recapitalization; Change of Control: The number of shares subject to any award, and the number of shares issuable under the 2001 Plan, are subject to proportionate adjustment in the event of a stock dividend, recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, subdivision, combination, reclassification or similar change relating to the capital structure of Mobilepro without consideration. In the event of a dissolution or liquidation of Mobilepro, a merger or consolidation in which Mobilepro does not survive (other than a merger with a wholly owned subsidiary or where there is no substantial change in the stockholders of the corporation and the options granted are assumed, converted or replaced by the successor corporation), a merger in which Mobilepro is the surviving corporation, but after which the stockholders of Mobilepro cease to own an equity interest in Mobilepro, a sale of all or substantially all of Mobilepro’s assets or any other transaction that qualifies as a “corporate transaction” under Section 424(a) of the Code, all outstanding awards may be assumed, converted or replaced by the successor corporation, or the successor corporation may substitute equivalent awards or provide substantially similar consideration to participants as was provided to stockholders; provided that option grants to non-employee directors shall accelerate and be fully vested upon such merger, consolidation or corporate transaction. In the event the Board does not authorize or otherwise
 
15

 
approve a change of control, then the vesting periods of any and all stock options and other awards granted and outstanding under the 2001 Plan shall be accelerated and all such stock options and awards will immediately and entirely vest, and the respective holders thereof will have the immediate right to purchase and/or receive any and all Common Stock subject to such stock options and awards on the terms set forth in the 2001 Plan and the respective agreements respecting such stock options and awards.

(e) Termination of Employment: If an optionee ceases to provide services as an employee, director, consultant, independent contractor or advisor to Mobilepro, or a parent, subsidiary or affiliate of Mobilepro (except in the case of death, disability, sick leave, military leave, or any other leave of absence approved by the Committee which does not exceed 90 days, or if reinstatement upon expiration of such leave is guaranteed by law), the optionee typically has three months to exercise any then-exercisable options except as may otherwise be provided.

(f) Other Provisions: The option grant and exercise agreements authorized under the 2001 Plan, which may be different for each option, may contain such other provisions as the Committee deems advisable, including without limitation, (i) restrictions upon the exercise of the option and (ii) a right of repurchase in favor of Mobilepro to repurchase unvested shares held by an optionee upon termination of the optionee’s employment at the original purchase price.

Amendment and Termination of the 2001 Plan. The Committee, to the extent permitted by law, and with respect to any shares at the time not subject to awards, may suspend or discontinue the 2001 Plan or amend the 2001 Plan in any respect; provided that the Committee may not, without approval of the stockholders, amend the 2001 Plan in a manner that requires stockholder approval.

Federal Tax Aspects

The following paragraphs are a summary of the general federal income tax consequences to U.S. taxpayers and Mobilepro of awards granted under the 2001 Plan. Tax consequences for any particular individual may be different. The participant must pay any taxes we are required to withhold at the time of the exercise or settlement.

Incentive Stock Options. No taxable income is recognized on grant of an incentive stock option nor on its exercise (unless the participant is subject to the alternative minimum tax (“AMT”)). If the participant holds the stock acquired upon exercise of an incentive stock option (the “ISO Shares”) for more than one year after the date the option was exercised and for more than two years after the date the option was granted, the participant generally will realize capital gain or loss (rather than ordinary income or loss) upon disposition of the ISO Shares. This gain or loss will be equal to the difference between the amount realized upon such disposition and the amount paid for the ISO Shares.

If the participant disposes of ISO Shares prior to the expiration of either required holding period described above (a “disqualifying disposition”), the gain realized upon such disposition, up to the difference between the fair market value of the ISO Shares on the date of exercise (or, if less, the amount realized on a sale of such shares) and the option exercise price, will be treated as ordinary income. Any additional gain will be long-term or short-term capital gain, depending upon the amount of time the ISO Shares were held by the participant.

Alternative Minimum Tax. The difference between the fair market value of the ISO Shares on the date of exercise and the exercise price is an adjustment to income for purposes of the AMT. The AMT (imposed to the extent it exceeds the taxpayer’s regular tax) is 26% of an individual taxpayer’s alternative minimum taxable income (28% in the case of alternative minimum taxable income in excess of $175,000). Alternative minimum taxable income is determined by adjusting regular taxable income for certain items, increasing that income by certain tax preference items (including the difference between the fair market value of the ISO Shares on the date of exercise and the exercise price) and reducing this amount by the applicable exemption amount ($58,000 in case of a joint return, and $40,250 in the case of an unmarried person, subject to reduction under certain circumstances). If a disqualifying disposition of the ISO Shares occurs in the same calendar year as exercise of the incentive stock option, there is no AMT adjustment with respect to those ISO Shares. Also, upon a sale of ISO Shares that is not a disqualifying disposition, alternative minimum taxable income is reduced in the year of sale by the excess of the fair market value of the ISO Shares at exercise over the amount paid for the ISO Shares.
 
16


 
Nonstatutory Stock Options. No taxable income is reportable when a nonstatutory stock option is granted to a participant. Upon exercise, the participant will recognize ordinary income in an amount equal to the excess of the fair market value (on the exercise date) of the shares purchased over the exercise price of the option. Any additional gain or loss recognized upon any later disposition of the shares would be capital gain or loss.

Stock Appreciation Rights. No taxable income is reportable when a stock appreciation right is granted to a participant. Upon exercise, the participant will recognize ordinary income in an amount equal to the amount of cash received and the fair market value of any shares received. Any additional gain or loss recognized upon any later disposition of the shares would be capital gain or loss.

Restricted Stock. A participant will not have taxable income upon grant unless he or she elects under Section 83(b) of the Code to be taxed at that time. Instead, he or she will recognize ordinary income at the time of vesting equal to the fair market value (on the vesting date) of the shares received minus any amount paid for the shares.

Restricted Stock Units. A participant will not be taxable upon grant or upon vesting of a restricted stock unit. Instead, he or she will be taxed upon receipt of the shares or cash value of the shares at the time that the shares or cash is distributed to the participant. The participant may not make an election under Section 83(b) of the Code with respect to any restricted stock unit.

Tax Effect on Mobilepro. We generally will be entitled to a tax deduction in connection with an award under the 2001 Plan in an amount equal to the ordinary income realized by a participant and at the time the participant recognizes such income (for example, the exercise of a nonstatutory stock option). Special rules limit the deductibility of compensation paid to our Chief Executive Officer and to each of our four other most highly compensated executive officers. Under Section 162(m) of the Code, the annual compensation paid to any of these specified executives will be deductible only to the extent that it does not exceed $1,000,000. However, we can preserve the deductibility of certain compensation in excess of $1,000,000 if the conditions of Section 162(m) are met. These conditions include stockholder approval of the 2001 Plan, setting limits on the number of shares subject to awards that any individual may receive in a calendar year, and for awards other than certain stock options, establishing performance criteria that must be met before the award actually will vest or be paid. The 2001 Plan has been designed to permit the Committee to grant awards that qualify as performance-based for purposes of satisfying the conditions of Section 162(m), thereby permitting us to continue to receive a federal income tax deduction in connection with such awards.

Required Vote and Board of Directors’ Recommendation

Approval of this proposal requires the affirmative vote by holders of at least a majority of the shares of Mobilepro Common Stock who attend the meeting in person, or are represented at the meeting by proxy. Abstentions will have the effect of a vote against this proposal, while broker non-votes will not be taken into account in determining the outcome of the vote on this proposal.

Our employees are our most valuable asset. Awards such as those provided under the 2001 Plan help us to attract, retain and motivate people whose skills and performance are critical to our success. We strongly believe that the 2001 Plan is essential for us to compete for talent in the very difficult labor markets in which we operate.

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” THE AMENDMENT OF OUR 2001 EQUITY
PERFORMANCE  PLAN.

PROPOSAL NO. 3

AMENDMENT OF CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION

Our Board of Directors has unanimously approved and adopted, subject to stockholder approval, an amendment to Article Fourth of the Company’s certificate of incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share, from 600,000,000 to 1,500,000,000 and the number of shares of Preferred Stock from 5,035,245 to 20,035,425. The Board of Directors believes that the proposed amendment to the certificate of incorporation is in the best interests of Mobilepro and its stockholders. The second paragraph of Article Fourth, as it is proposed to be amended, is as follows, and the amended and restated certificate of incorporation, as it is proposed to be adopted, is attached hereto as Exhibit C:

“The total number of shares of capital stock of all classes which the Corporation shall have authority to issues is 1,525,035,425, of which 1,500,000,000 shares shall be common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”), 20,000,000 shares shall be preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Preferred Stock”) and 35,425 shares shall be the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Series A Convertible Preferred Stock”).”

Current Use of Shares

As of July 5, 2005, there were:

373,978,011 shares of Common Stock outstanding

• 35,378 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding

• 62,957,500 shares subject to issuance upon the exercise of currently outstanding options and warrants and 53,963 shares available for grant under our 2001 Equity Performance Plan; and

• 53,652,846 shares subject to issuance upon the conversion of Mobilepro’s outstanding convertible notes.

Based upon the above figures, of the 600,000,000 shares of Common Stock currently authorized, approximately 109,322,302 shares of Common Stock remain available for other corporate purposes.

Purpose and Effect of the Proposed Amendment

The proposed increase in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock and Preferred Stock is necessary in order to provide us with the flexibility to issue shares for general corporate purposes that may be identified in the future including, but not limited to, funding the acquisition of other companies, raising equity capital through the issuance of shares of Common Stock, Preferred Stock or debt or equity securities convertible or exercisable into shares of Common Stock, or in the case of Common Stock, adopting additional employee benefit plans or reserving additional shares for issuance under existing plans. Additionally, while we currently have 250,000,000 shares of Common Stock registered for use in connection with our Standby Equity Distribution Agreement (“SEDA”) with Cornell Capital Partners, L.P., in the event that such number of shares was not sufficient to fully utilize the $100 million available under the SEDA we may use some of the shares of Common Stock available pursuant to the proposed increase to our authorized number of shares. No additional action or authorization by stockholders would be necessary prior to the issuance of such additional shares, unless required by applicable law or the rules of any stock exchange or national securities association trading system on which our Common Stock is then listed or quoted. Examples of circumstances in which further stockholder authorization generally would be required for issuance of such additional shares include (a) transactions that would result in a change of control of Mobilepro, and (b) adoption of, increases in shares available under, or material changes to equity compensation plans. We have no current plans, proposals or arrangements to engage in any corporate transactions that would require the issuance of the additional shares being authorized pursuant to this proposal.

The additional authorized shares would become part of the existing class of Common Stock or Preferred Stock, and the amendment would not affect the terms of the outstanding Common Stock and Preferred Stock or the rights of
 
18

 
the holders of the Common Stock and Preferred Stock. Mobilepro stockholders do not have preemptive rights with respect to our Common Stock or Preferred Stock. Should the Board of Directors elect to issue additional shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock, existing stockholders would not have any preferential rights to purchase such shares. Therefore, additional issuances of Common Stock could have a dilutive effect on the earnings per share, voting power and share holdings of current stockholders.

Anti−takeover Provisions

We are not introducing this proposal with the intent that it be utilized as a type of anti−takeover device. However, this action could, under certain circumstances, have an anti−takeover effect. For example, in the event of a hostile attempt to acquire control of Mobilepro, we could seek to impede the attempt by issuing shares of Common Stock, which would effectively dilute the voting power of the other outstanding shares and increase the potential cost to acquire control of Mobilepro. Further, we could issue additional shares in a manner that would impede the efforts of stockholders to elect directors other than those nominated by the then−current Board of Directors. These potential effects of the proposed increase in the number of authorized shares could limit the opportunity for Mobilepro stockholders to dispose of their shares at the higher price generally available in takeover attempts or to elect directors of their choice.

The following is a description of other anti−takeover provisions in our charter documents and other agreements. We have no current plans or proposals to enter into any other arrangement that could have material anti−takeover consequences.

Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws. Other provisions of Mobilepro’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws may have the effect of deterring unsolicited attempts to acquire a controlling interest in Mobilepro or impeding changes in our management including the fact that, as a Delaware corporation, we are subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which may deter certain unsolicited attempts to acquire control of us. Additionally, we may issue the unissued authorized preferred stock in one or more series having the rights, privileges, and limitations, including voting rights, conversion rights, liquidation preferences, dividend rights and redemption rights, as may, from time to time, be determined by the Board of Directors. Preferred stock may be issued in the future in connection with acquisitions, financings, or other matters, as the Board of Directors deems appropriate. In the event that we determine to issue any shares of preferred stock, a certificate of designation containing the rights, privileges, and limitations of this series of preferred stock will be filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. The effect of this preferred stock designation power is that our Board of Directors alone, subject to Federal securities laws, applicable blue sky laws, and Delaware law, may be able to authorize the issuance of preferred stock which could have the effect of delaying, deferring, or preventing a change in control of Mobilepro without further action by our stockholders, and may adversely affect the voting and other rights of the holders of our Common Stock.

Our certificate of incorporation does not provide our stockholders with cumulative voting rights. Our bylaws provide that only our President, our Board of Directors and the Chairman of our Board of Directors may call a special meeting of stockholders.

We are not aware of any attempt to take control of Mobilepro and are not presenting this proposal with the intent that it be utilized as a type of anti−takeover device. The proposal is being made at this time to provide us with greater flexibility to issue shares for general corporate purposes that may be identified in the future.

Required Vote and Board of Directors Recommendation

Approval of this proposal requires the affirmative vote by holders of at least a majority of shares of Mobilepro Common Stock outstanding on the record date. Abstentions and broker non−votes will have the effect of a vote against this proposal.

The Audit Committee requires advance review and approval of all proposed non−audit services that we wish to be performed by the independent registered public accounting firm. Occasionally, the Audit Committee chairperson pre−approves certain non−audit related fees and the entire Audit Committee ratifies the chairperson’s pre−approval in a subsequent Audit Committee meeting, in accordance with SEC requirements. In fiscal 2005, the Audit Committee followed these guidelines in approving all services rendered by Bagell Josephs.

PROPOSAL NO. 5
 
APPROVAL TO ADJOURN OR POSTPONE THE ANNUAL MEETING TO AUGUST 31, 2005 T0 PERMIT FURTHER SOLICITATION OF PROXIES IN THE EVENT THAT AN INSUFFICIENT NUMBER OF SHARES IS PRESENT IN PERSON OR BY PROXY TO APPROVE THE PROPOSALS PRESENTED AT THE ANNUAL MEETING.

We are also asking you to approve the adjournment or postponement of the Annual Meeting to August 31, 2005 to permit further solicitation of proxies in the event that an insufficient number of shares is present in person or by proxy to approve the proposals presented at the Annual Meeting.

Pursuant to Delaware law, the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company are required to approve the amendment to the certificate of incorporation. It is rare for a company to achieve 100% stockholder participation at an annual meeting of stockholders, and only a majority of the holders of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company are required to be represented at the meeting, in person or by proxy, for a quorum to be present. In the event that stockholder participation at the annual meeting is lower than expected, the Company would like the flexibility to adjourn or postpone the meeting in order to attempt to secure broader stockholder participation in the decision to approve the amendment to the certificate of incorporation.

Required Vote and Board of Directors’ Recommendation

Approval of this proposal requires the affirmative vote by holders of at least a majority of the shares of Mobilepro common stock who attend the meeting in person, or are represented at the meeting by proxy. Abstentions will have the effect of a vote against this proposal, while broker non-votes will not be taken into account in determining the outcome of the vote on this proposal.

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR
APPROVAL TO ADJOURN OR POSTPONE THE ANNUAL MEETING TO AUGUST 31, 2005 TO
PERMIT FURTHER SOLICITATION OF PROXIES IN THE EVENT THAT AN INSUFFICIENT
NUMBER OF SHARES IS PRESENT IN PERSON OR BY PROXY TO APPROVE THE PROPOSALS
PRESENTED AT THE ANNUAL MEETING.

The material in this report is not "soliciting material," is not deemed filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and is not to be incorporated by reference in any of our filings under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, whether made before or after the date of this proxy statement and irrespective of any general incorporation language in any filings.

The Audit Committee's purpose is, among other things, to assist the board of directors in its oversight of our financial accounting, reporting and controls. The board of directors has determined that all three members of the committee are "independent" as defined by the listing standards of The Nasdaq Stock Market. The committee operates under a charter, which was formally adopted by the board of directors in June 2005. This charter is available on our website at www.mobileprocorp.com and is also available in Exhibit A to this proxy statement. The Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed our consolidated financial statements with management and the independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committee has also discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm the matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, Communication with Audit Committees. Furthermore, the Committee received the written disclosures and the letter from the independent registered public accounting firm required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1, Independence Discussions with Audit Committees. The Committee also discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm that firm's independence and whether the provision of non-audit services by the independent registered public accounting firm is compatible with maintaining independence. Based on the review and discussions described in this report, and subject to the limitations on the role and responsibilities of the committee referred to in its charter, the Audit Committee recommended to the board of directors (and the board approved) that the audited financial statements be included in the Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

We granted warrants to purchase our Common Stock to certain of our directors prior to their appointment to our Board of Directors in connection with their service as members of our advisory board. We subsequently provided additional grants to our directors in connection with their service as members of our Board of Directors. The terms of those grants are described in this proxy statement in our discussion of the compensation provided to our directors.
 
We believe that each of the above referenced transactions was made on terms no less favorable to us than could have been obtained from an unaffiliated third party. Furthermore, any future transactions between us and our officers, directors, principal stockholders or affiliates will be on terms no less favorable to us than could be obtained from an unaffiliated third party, and will be approved by a majority of our directors.

Section 3.     Stock Subject to Plan.

3.1  Number of Shares. The total number of shares of Common Stock reserved and available for issuance under the Plan shall be 30,000,000 shares. Shares of Common Stock under the Plan ("Shares") may consist, in whole or in part, of authorized and unissued shares or treasury shares. If any shares of Common Stock that have been granted pursuant to a Stock Option cease to be subject to a Stock Option, or if any shares of Common Stock that are subject to any Stock Appreciation Right, Restricted Stock award, Deferred Stock award, Reload Stock Option or Other Stock-Based Award granted hereunder are forfeited or any such award otherwise terminates without a payment being made to the Holder in the form of Common Stock, such shares shall again be available for distribution in connection with future grants and awards under the Plan. If a Holder pays the exercise price of a Stock Option by surrendering any previously owned shares and/or arranges to have the appropriate number of shares otherwise issuable upon exercise withheld to cover the withholding tax liability associated with the Stock Option exercise, then the number of shares available under the Plan shall be increased by the lesser of (i) the number of such surrendered shares and shares used to pay taxes; and (ii) the number of shares purchased under such Stock Option.

3.2  Adjustment Upon Changes in Capitalization, Etc. In the event of any merger, reorganization, consolidation, common stock dividend payable on shares of Common Stock, Common Stock split or reverse split, combination or exchange of shares of Common Stock, or other extraordinary or unusual event which results in a change in the shares of Common Stock of the Company as a whole, the Committee shall determine, in its sole discretion, whether such change equitably requires an adjustment in the terms of any award (including number of shares subject to the award and the exercise price) or the aggregate number of shares reserved for issuance under the Plan. Any such adjustments will be made by the Committee, whose determination will be final, binding and conclusive.

Section 4.     Eligibility.

Awards may be made or granted to employees, officers, directors and consultants who are deemed to have rendered or to be able to render significant services to the Company or its Subsidiaries and who are deemed to have contributed or to have the potential to contribute to the success of the Company. No Incentive Stock Option shall be granted to any person who is not an employee of the Company or a Subsidiary at the time of grant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an award may be made or granted to a person in connection with his hiring or retention, or at any time on or after the date he reaches an agreement (oral or written) with the Company with respect to such hiring or retention, even though it may be prior to the date the person first performs services for the Company or its Subsidiaries; provided, however, that no portion of any such award shall vest prior to the date the person first performs such services.

Section 5.      Stock Options.

5.1  Grant and Exercise. Stock Options granted under the Plan may be of two types: (i) Incentive Stock Options and (ii) Nonqualified Stock Options. Any Stock Option granted under the Plan shall contain such terms, not inconsistent with this Plan, or with respect to Incentive Stock Options, not inconsistent with the Plan and the Code, as the Committee may from time to time approve. The Committee shall have the authority to grant Incentive Stock Options or Non-Qualified Stock Options, or both types of Stock Options which may be granted alone or in addition to other awards granted under the Plan. To the extent that any Stock Option intended to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option does not so qualify, it shall constitute a separate Nonqualified Stock Option.

5.2  Terms and Conditions.  Stock Options granted under the Plan shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:

(a) Option Term. The term of each Stock Option shall be fixed by the Committee; provided, however, that an Incentive Stock Option may be granted only within the ten-year period commencing from the Effective Date and may only be exercised within ten years of the date of grant (or five years in the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to an optionee who, at the time of grant, owns Common Stock possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of voting stock of the Company ("10% Stockholder").
 
4

 
(b) Exercise Price. The exercise price per share of Common Stock purchasable under a Stock Option shall be determined by the Committee at the time of grant and may not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value on the trading day immediately preceding the date of grant (or, if greater, the par value of a share of Common Stock); provided, however, that (i) the exercise price of an Incentive Stock Option granted to a 10% Stockholder shall not be less than 110% of the Fair Market Value on the trading day immediately preceding the date of grant; and (ii) if the Stock Option is granted in connection with the recipient's hiring, retention, reaching an agreement (oral or written) with the Company with respect to such hiring or retention, promotion or similar event, the option exercise price may be not less than the Fair Market Value on the trading day immediately preceding the date on which the recipient is hired or retained, reached such agreement with respect to such hiring or retention, or is promoted (or similar event), if the grant of the Stock Option occurs not more than 120 days after the date of such hiring, retention, agreement, promotion or other event.

(c) Exercisability. Stock Options shall be exercisable at such time or times and subject to such terms and conditions as shall be determined by the Committee and as set forth in Section 10, below. If the Committee provides, in its discretion, that any Stock Option is exercisable only in installments, i.e., that it vests over time, the Committee may waive such installment exercise provisions at any time at or after the time of grant in whole or in part, based upon such factors as the Committee shall determine.

(d) Method of Exercise. Subject to whatever installment, exercise and waiting period provisions are applicable in a particular case, Stock Options may be exercised in whole or in part at any time during the term of the Option by giving written notice of exercise to the Company specifying the number of shares of Common Stock to be purchased. Such notice shall be accompanied by payment in full of the purchase price, which shall be in cash or, if provided in the Agreement, either in shares of Common Stock (including Restricted Stock and other contingent awards under this Plan) or partly in cash and partly in such Common Stock, or such other means which the Committee determines are consistent with the Plan's purpose and applicable law. Cash payments shall be made by wire transfer, certified or bank check or personal check, in each case payable to the order of the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to deliver certificates for shares of Common Stock with respect to which an Option is exercised until the Company has confirmed the receipt of good and available funds in payment of the purchase price thereof (except that, in the case of an exercise arrangement approved by the Committee and described in the last sentence of this paragraph, payment may be made as soon as practicable after the exercise). Payments in the form of Common Stock shall be valued at the Fair Market Value on the date prior to the date of exercise. Such payments shall be made by delivery of stock certificates in negotiable form that are effective to transfer good and valid title thereto to the Company, free of any liens or encumbrances. Subject to the terms of the Agreement, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, at the request of the Holder, deliver upon the exercise of a Nonqualified Stock Option a combination of shares of Deferred Stock and Common Stock; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 8 of the Plan, such Deferred Stock shall be fully vested and not subject to forfeiture. A Holder shall have none of the rights of a Stockholder with respect to the shares subject to the Option until such shares shall be transferred to the Holder upon the exercise of the Option. The Committee may permit a Holder to elect to pay the Exercise Price upon the exercise of a Stock Option by irrevocably authorizing a third party to sell shares of Common Stock (or a sufficient portion of the shares) acquired upon exercise of the Stock Option and remit to the Company a sufficient portion of the sale proceeds to pay the entire Exercise Price and any tax withholding resulting from such exercise.

(e) Transferability. Except as may be set forth in the next sentence of this Section or in the Agreement, no Stock Option shall be transferable by the Holder other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and all Stock Options shall be exercisable, during the Holder's lifetime, only by the Holder (or, to the extent of legal incapacity or incompetency, the Holder's guardian or legal representative). Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Holder, with the approval of the Committee, may transfer a Stock Option (i) (A) by gift, for no consideration, or (B) pursuant to a domestic relations order, in either case, to or for the benefit of the Holder's "Immediate Family" (as defined below), or (ii) to an entity in which the Holder and/or members of Holder's Immediate Family own more than fifty percent of the voting interest, in exchange for an interest in that entity, subject to such limits as the Committee may establish and the execution of such documents as the Committee may require, and the transferee shall remain subject to all the terms and conditions applicable to the Stock Option prior to such transfer. The term "Immediate Family" shall mean any child, stepchild, grandchild, parent, stepparent, grandparent, spouse, former spouse, sibling, niece, nephew, mother-in-law, father-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, brother-in-law or sister-in-law, including adoptive relationships, any person sharing the Holder's household (other than a tenant or employee), a trust in which
 
5

 
these persons have more than fifty percent beneficial interest, and a foundation in which these persons (or the Holder) control the management of the assets.

(f) Termination by Reason of Death. If a Holder's employment by the Company or a Subsidiary terminates by reason of death, any Stock Option held by such Holder, unless otherwise determined by the Committee and set forth in the Agreement, shall thereupon automatically terminate, except that the portion of such Stock Option that has vested on the date of death may thereafter be exercised by the legal representative of the estate or by the legatee of the Holder under the will of the Holder, for a period of one year (or such other greater or lesser period as the Committee may specify in the Agreement) from the date of such death or until the expiration of the stated term of such Stock Option, whichever period is shorter.

(g) Termination by Reason of Disability. If a Holder's employment by the Company or any Subsidiary terminates by reason of Disability, any Stock Option held by such Holder, unless otherwise determined by the Committee and set forth in the Agreement, shall thereupon automatically terminate, except that the portion of such Stock Option that has vested on the date of termination may thereafter be exercised by the Holder for a period of one year (or such other greater or lesser period as the Committee may specify in the Agreement) from the date of such termination of employment or until the expiration of the stated term of such Stock Option, whichever period is shorter.

(h) Other Termination. Subject to the provisions of Section 13.3, below, and unless otherwise determined by the Committee and set forth in the Agreement, if such Holder's employment or retention by, or association with, the Company or any Subsidiary terminates for any reason other than death or Disability, the Stock Option shall thereupon automatically terminate, except that if the Holder's employment is terminated by the Company or a Subsidiary without cause or due to Normal Retirement, then the portion of such Stock Option that has vested on the date of termination of employment may be exercised for the lesser of three months after termination of employment or the balance of such Stock Option's term.

(i) Additional Incentive Stock Option Limitation. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option, the aggregate Fair Market Value (on the date of grant of the Option) with respect to which Incentive Stock Options become exercisable for the first time by a Holder during any calendar year (under all such plans of the Company and its Parent and Subsidiaries) shall not exceed $100,000.

(j) Buyout and Settlement Provisions. The Committee may at any time, in its sole discretion, offer to repurchase a Stock Option previously granted, based upon such terms and conditions as the Committee shall establish and communicate to the Holder at the time that such offer is made.

5.3  Stock Reload Option. If a Holder tenders shares of Common Stock to pay the exercise price of a Stock Option ("Underlying Option") and/or arranges to have a portion of the shares otherwise issuable upon exercise withheld to pay the applicable withholding taxes, then the Holder may receive, at the discretion of the Committee, a new Stock Reload Option to purchase that number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of shares tendered to pay the exercise price and the withholding taxes (but only if such tendered shares were held by the Holder for at least six months). Stock Reload Options may be any type of option permitted under the Code and will be granted subject to such terms, conditions, restrictions and limitations as may be determined by the Committee from time to time. Such Stock Reload Option shall have an exercise price equal to the Fair Market Value as of the date of exercise of the Underlying Option. Unless the Committee determines otherwise, a Stock Reload Option may be exercised commencing one year after it is granted and shall expire on the date of expiration of the Underlying Option to which the Reload Option is related.

Section 6.      Stock Appreciation Rights.

6.1  Grant and Exercise. The Committee may grant Stock Appreciation Rights to participants who have been or are being granted Stock Options under the Plan as a means of allowing such participants to exercise their Stock Options without the need to pay the exercise price in cash. In the case of a Nonqualified Stock Option, a Stock Appreciation Right may be granted either at or after the time of the grant of such Nonqualified Stock Option. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option, a Stock Appreciation Right may be granted only at the time of the grant of such Incentive Stock Option.
 
6

 
6.2  Terms and Conditions. Stock Appreciation Rights shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:

(a) Exercisability. Stock Appreciation Rights shall be exercisable as shall be determined by the Committee and set forth in the Agreement, subject to the limitations, if any, imposed by the Code with respect to related Incentive Stock Options.

(b) Termination. A Stock Appreciation Right shall terminate and shall no longer be exercisable upon the termination or exercise of the related Stock Option.

(c) Method of Exercise. Stock Appreciation Rights shall be exercisable upon such terms and conditions as shall be determined by the Committee and set forth in the Agreement and by surrendering the applicable portion of the related Stock Option. Upon such exercise and surrender, the Holder shall be entitled to receive a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the SAR Value divided by the Fair Market Value on the date the Stock Appreciation Right is exercised.

(d) Shares Affected Upon Plan. The granting of a Stock Appreciation Right shall not affect the number of shares of Common Stock available under for awards under the Plan. The number of shares available for awards under the Plan will, however, be reduced by the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon exercise of the Stock Option to which such Stock Appreciation Right relates.

Section 7.      Restricted Stock.

7.1  Grant. Shares of Restricted Stock may be awarded either alone or in addition to other awards granted under the Plan. The Committee shall determine the eligible persons to whom, and the time or times at which, grants of Restricted Stock will be awarded, the number of shares to be awarded, the price (if any) to be paid by the Holder, the time or times within which such awards may be subject to forfeiture ("Restriction Period"), the vesting schedule and rights to acceleration thereof and all other terms and conditions of the awards.

7.2  Terms and Conditions. Each Restricted Stock award shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:

(a) Certificates. Restricted Stock, when issued, will be represented by a stock certificate or certificates registered in the name of the Holder to whom such Restricted Stock shall have been awarded. During the Restriction Period, certificates representing the Restricted Stock and any securities constituting Retained Distributions (as defined below) shall bear a legend to the effect that ownership of the Restricted Stock (and such Retained Distributions) and the enjoyment of all rights appurtenant thereto are subject to the restrictions, terms and conditions provided in the Plan and the Agreement. Such certificates shall be deposited by the Holder with the Company, together with stock powers or other instruments of assignment, each endorsed in blank, which will permit transfer to the Company of all or any portion of the Restricted Stock and any securities constituting Retained Distributions that shall be forfeited or that shall not become vested in accordance with the Plan and the Agreement.

(b) Rights of Holder. Restricted Stock shall constitute issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock for all corporate purposes. The Holder will have the right to vote such Restricted Stock, to receive and retain all regular cash dividends and other cash equivalent distributions as the Board may in its sole discretion designate, pay or distribute on such Restricted Stock and to exercise all other rights, powers and privileges of a holder of Common Stock with respect to such Restricted Stock, with the exceptions that (i) the Holder will not be entitled to delivery of the stock certificate or certificates representing such Restricted Stock until the Restriction Period shall have expired and unless all other vesting requirements with respect thereto shall have been fulfilled; (ii) the Company will retain custody of the stock certificate or certificates representing the Restricted Stock during the Restriction Period; (iii) other than regular cash dividends and other cash equivalent distributions as the Board may in its sole discretion designate, pay or distribute, the Company will retain custody of all distributions ("Retained Distributions") made or declared with respect to the Restricted Stock (and such Retained Distributions will be subject to the same restrictions, terms and conditions as are applicable to the Restricted Stock) until such time, if ever, as the Restricted Stock with respect to which such Retained Distributions shall have been made, paid or declared shall have become vested and with respect
 
7

 
to which the Restriction Period shall have expired; (iv) a breach of any of the restrictions, terms or conditions contained in this Plan or the Agreement or otherwise established by the Committee with respect to any Restricted Stock or Retained Distributions will cause a forfeiture of such Restricted Stock and any Retained Distributions with respect thereto.

(c) Vesting; Forfeiture. Upon the expiration of the Restriction Period with respect to each award of Restricted Stock and the satisfaction of any other applicable restrictions, terms and conditions (i) all or part of such Restricted Stock shall become vested in accordance with the terms of the Agreement, subject to Section 10, below, and (ii) any Retained Distributions with respect to such Restricted Stock shall become vested to the extent that the Restricted Stock related thereto shall have become vested, subject to Section 10, below. Any such Restricted Stock and Retained Distributions that do not vest shall be forfeited to the Company and the Holder shall not thereafter have any rights with respect to such Restricted Stock and Retained Distributions that shall have been so forfeited.

Section 8.     Deferred Stock.

8.1  Grant. Shares of Deferred Stock may be awarded either alone or in addition to other awards granted under the Plan. The Committee shall determine the eligible persons to whom and the time or times at which grants of Deferred Stock will be awarded, the number of shares of Deferred Stock to be awarded to any person, the duration of the period ("Deferral Period") during which, and the conditions under which, receipt of the shares will be deferred, and all the other terms and conditions of the awards.

8.2  Terms and Conditions. Each Deferred Stock award shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:

(a) Certificates. At the expiration of the Deferral Period (or the Additional Deferral Period referred to in Section 8.2 (d) below, where applicable), share certificates shall be issued and delivered to the Holder, or his legal representative, representing the number equal to the shares covered by the Deferred Stock award.

(b) Rights of Holder. A person entitled to receive Deferred Stock shall not have any rights of a Stockholder by virtue of such award until the expiration of the applicable Deferral Period and the issuance and delivery of the certificates representing such Common Stock. The shares of Common Stock issuable upon expiration of the Deferral Period shall not be deemed outstanding by the Company until the expiration of such Deferral Period and the issuance and delivery of such Common Stock to the Holder.

(c) Vesting; Forfeiture. Upon the expiration of the Deferral Period with respect to each award of Deferred Stock and the satisfaction of any other applicable restrictions, terms and conditions all or part of such Deferred Stock shall become vested in accordance with the terms of the Agreement, subject to Section 10, below. Any such Deferred Stock that does not vest shall be forfeited to the Company and the Holder shall not thereafter have any rights with respect to such Deferred Stock.

(d) Additional Deferral Period. A Holder may request to, and the Committee may at any time, defer the receipt of an award (or an installment of an award) for an additional specified period or until a specified event ("Additional Deferral Period"). Subject to any exceptions adopted by the Committee, such request must generally be made at least one year prior to expiration of the Deferral Period for such Deferred Stock award (or such installment).

Section 9.     Other Stock-Based Awards.

Other Stock-Based Awards may be awarded, subject to limitations under applicable law, that are denominated or payable in, valued in whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise based on or related to, shares of Common Stock, as deemed by the Committee to be consistent with the purposes of the Plan, including, without limitation, purchase rights, shares of Common Stock awarded which are not subject to any restrictions or conditions, convertible or exchangeable debentures, or other rights convertible into shares of Common Stock and awards valued by reference to the value of securities of or the performance of specified Subsidiaries. Other Stock-Based Awards may be awarded either alone or in addition to or in tandem with any other awards under this Plan or any other plan of the Company. Each other Stock-Based Award shall be subject to such terms and conditions as may be determined by the Committee.

Section 10.     Accelerated Vesting and Exercisability.

10.1  Non-Approved Transactions. If any "person" (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("Exchange Act")), is or becomes the "beneficial owner" (as referred in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing more than 50% of the combined voting power of the Company's then outstanding securities in one or more transactions, and the Board does not authorize or otherwise approve such acquisition, then the vesting periods of any and all Stock Options and other awards granted and outstanding under the Plan shall be accelerated and all such Stock Options and awards will immediately and entirely vest, and the respective holders thereof will have the immediate right to purchase and/or receive any and all Common Stock subject to such Stock Options and awards on the terms set forth in this Plan and the respective agreements respecting such Stock Options and awards.

10.2  Approved Transactions. The Committee may, in the event of an acquisition of substantially all of the Company's assets or at least 50% of the combined voting power of the Company's then outstanding securities in one or more transactions (including by way of merger or reorganization) which has been approved by the Company's Board of Directors, (i) accelerate the vesting of any and all Stock Options and other awards granted and outstanding under the Plan, and (ii) require a Holder of any award granted under this Plan to relinquish such award to the Company upon the tender by the Company to Holder of cash in an amount equal to the Repurchase Value of such award.

Section 11.     Amendment and Termination.

The Board may at any time, and from time to time, amend alter, suspend or discontinue any of the provisions of the Plan, but no amendment, alteration, suspension or discontinuance shall be made that would impair the rights of a Holder under any Agreement theretofore entered into hereunder, without the Holder's consent.

Section 12.     Term of Plan.

12.1 Effective Date. The Plan shall be effective as of November 1, 2001, subject to the approval of the Plan by the Company's stockholders within one year after the Effective Date. Any awards granted under the Plan prior to such approval shall be effective when made (unless otherwise specified by the Committee at the time of grant), but shall be conditioned upon, and subject to, such approval of the Plan by the Company's stockholders and no awards shall vest or otherwise become free of restrictions prior to such approval.

12.2 Termination Date. Unless terminated by the Board, this Plan shall continue to remain effective until such time as no further awards may be granted and all awards granted under the Plan are no longer outstanding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, grants of Incentive Stock Options may be made only during the ten year period following the Effective Date.

Section 13.     General Provisions.

13.1  Written Agreements. Each award granted under the Plan shall be confirmed by, and shall be subject to the terms of, the Agreement executed by the Company and the Holder, or such other document as may be determined by the Committee. The Committee may terminate any award made under the Plan if the Agreement relating thereto is not executed and returned to the Company within 10 days after the Agreement has been delivered to the Holder for his or her execution.

13.2 Unfunded Status of Plan. The Plan is intended to constitute an "unfunded" plan for incentive and deferred compensation. With respect to any payments not yet made to a Holder by the Company, nothing contained herein shall give any such Holder any rights that are greater than those of a general creditor of the Company.

13.3 Employees.

(a) Engaging in Competition With the Company; Solicitation of Customers and Employees;
 
9

 
Disclosure of Confidential Information. If a Holder's employment with the Company or a Subsidiary is terminated for any reason whatsoever, and within 12 months after the date thereof such Holder either (i) accepts employment with any competitor of, or otherwise engages in competition with, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, (ii) solicits any customers or employees of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to do business with or render services to the Holder or any business with which the Holder becomes affiliated or to which the Holder renders services or (iii) discloses to anyone outside the Company or uses any confidential information or material of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in violation of the Company's policies or any agreement between the Holder and the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may require such Holder to return to the Company the economic value of any Shares that was realized or obtained by such Holder at any time during the period beginning on the date that is [six] months prior to the date such Holder's employment with the Company is terminated. In such event, Holder agrees to remit to the Company, in cash, an amount equal to the difference between the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date of termination (or the sales price of such Shares if the Shares were sold during such six month period) and the price the Holder paid the Company for such Shares.

(b) Termination for Cause. The Committee may, if a Holder's employment with the Company or a Subsidiary is terminated for cause, annul any award granted under this Plan to such employee and, in such event, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may require such Holder to return to the Company the economic value of any Shares that was realized or obtained by such Holder at any time during the period beginning on that date that is six months prior to the date such Holder's employment with the Company is terminated. In such event, Holder agrees to remit to the Company, in cash, an amount equal to the difference between the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date of termination (or the sales price of such Shares if the Shares were sold during such six month period) and the price the Holder paid the Company for such Shares.

(c) No Right of Employment. Nothing contained in the Plan or in any award hereunder shall be deemed to confer upon any Holder who is an employee of the Company or any Subsidiary any right to continued employment with the Company or any Subsidiary, nor shall it interfere in any way with the right of the Company or any Subsidiary to terminate the employment of any Holder who is an employee at any time.

13.4  Investment Representations; Company Policy. The Committee may require each person acquiring shares of Common Stock pursuant to a Stock Option or other award under the Plan to represent to and agree with the Company in writing that the Holder is acquiring the shares for investment without a view to distribution thereof. Each person acquiring shares of Common Stock pursuant to a Stock Option or other award under the Plan shall be required to abide by all policies of the Company in effect at the time of such acquisition and thereafter with respect to the ownership and trading of the Company's securities.

13.5 Additional Incentive Arrangements. Nothing contained in the Plan shall prevent the Board from adopting such other or additional incentive arrangements as it may deem desirable, including, but not limited to, the granting of Stock Options and the awarding of Common Stock and cash otherwise than under the Plan; and such arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases.

13.6  Withholding Taxes. Not later than the date as of which an amount must first be included in the gross income of the Holder for Federal income tax purposes with respect to any Stock Option or other award under the Plan, the Holder shall pay to the Company, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Committee regarding the payment of, any Federal, state and local taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld or paid with respect to such amount. If permitted by the Committee, tax withholding or payment obligations may be settled with Common Stock, including Common Stock that is part of the award that gives rise to the withholding requirement. The obligations of the Company under the Plan shall be conditioned upon such payment or arrangements and the Company or the Holder's employer (if not the Company) shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct any such taxes from any payment of any kind otherwise due to the Holder from the Company or any Subsidiary.

13.7 Governing Law. The Plan and all awards made and actions taken thereunder shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Arizona (without regard to choice of law provisions); provided, however, that all matters relating to or involving corporate law shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware.
 
10

 
13.8 Other Benefit Plans. Any award granted under the Plan shall not be deemed compensation for purposes of computing benefits under any retirement plan of the Company or any Subsidiary and shall not affect any benefits under any other benefit plan now or subsequently in effect under which the availability or amount of benefits is related to the level of compensation (unless required by specific reference in any such other plan to awards under this Plan).

13.9 Non-Transferability. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Plan or the Agreement, no right or benefit under the Plan may be alienated, sold, assigned, hypothecated, pledged, exchanged, transferred, encumbranced or charged, and any attempt to alienate, sell, assign, hypothecate, pledge, exchange, transfer, encumber or charge the same shall be void.

13.10 Applicable Laws. The obligations of the Company with respect to all Stock Options and awards under the Plan shall be subject to (i) all applicable laws, rules and regulations and such approvals by any governmental agencies as may be required, including, without limitation, the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act"), as amended, and (ii) the rules and regulations of any securities exchange on which the Common Stock may be listed.

13.11 Conflicts. If any of the terms or provisions of the Plan or an Agreement conflict with the requirements of Section 422 of the Code, then such terms or provisions shall be deemed inoperative to the extent they so conflict with such requirements. Additionally, if this Plan or any Agreement does not contain any provision required to be included herein under Section 422 of the Code, such provision shall be deemed to be incorporated herein and therein with the same force and effect as if such provision had been set out at length herein and therein. If any of the terms or provisions of any Agreement conflict with any terms or provisions of the Plan, then such terms or provisions shall be deemed inoperative to the extent they so conflict with the requirements of the Plan. Additionally, if any Agreement does not contain any provision required to be included therein under the Plan, such provision shall be deemed to be incorporated therein with the same force and effect as if such provision had been set out at length therein.

13.12 Non-Registered Stock. The shares of Common Stock to be distributed under this Plan have not been, as of the Effective Date, registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any applicable state or foreign securities laws and the Company has no obligation to any Holder to register the Common Stock or to assist the Holder in obtaining an exemption from the various registration requirements, or to list the Common Stock on a national securities exchange or any other trading or quotation system, including the Nasdaq National Market and Nasdaq SmallCap Market.
