PROXY STATEMENT
FOR ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
To Be Held on June 11, 2002

 
INFORMATION CONCERNING SOLICITATION AND VOTING

Stockholders Meeting

      This proxy statement and the enclosed proxy card are furnished on behalf of the Board of Directors of Daleen Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company,” “we,” “our” or “us”), for use at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on June 11, 2002, at 10:00 a.m., Eastern time (the “Annual Meeting”), or at any adjournment or postponement thereof, for the purposes set forth herein and in the accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The Annual Meeting will be held at the Company’s headquarters, 902 Clint Moore Road, Suite 230, Boca Raton, Florida 33487. We intend to mail this proxy statement and the accompanying proxy card on or about April 29, 2002, to all stockholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting.

Proposals

      At the Annual Meeting, we will request that the stockholders consider and vote upon each of the following proposals:

      Election of Directors (Proposal 1). Proposal 1 is to elect two directors to our Board of Directors to serve a term expiring at the 2005 annual meeting of stockholders and to elect one director to our Board of Directors to serve a term expiring at the 2004 annual meeting of stockholders.

      Approve the Daleen Technologies, Inc. 2001 Broad-Based Stock Incentive Plan (Proposal 2). Proposal 2 is to approve and adopt the Daleen Technologies, Inc. 2001 Broad-Based Stock Incentive Plan. This plan was established to promote the interests of the Company by providing employees and key persons the opportunity to acquire shares of common stock and to receive compensation based upon appreciation in the value of those shares.

Stockholders Entitled to Vote and Quorum

      Only holders of record of our common stock and Series F convertible preferred stock (“Series F preferred stock”) at the close of business on April 19, 2002 (the “Record Date”), will be entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting. Pursuant to our Certificate of Incorporation, the holders of our outstanding common stock and Series F preferred stock are entitled to vote together as a single class on each matter to be voted on at the Annual Meeting. At the close of business on the Record Date, we had outstanding and entitled to vote 23,532,081 shares of common stock and 234,362 shares of Series F preferred stock. Each holder of record of common stock on such date will be entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters to be voted upon at the Annual Meeting. Each holder of record of Series F preferred stock on such date will be entitled to 100 votes for each share held on all matters to be voted upon at the Annual Meeting and will vote with the holders of common stock as a single class. As a result, an aggregate of 46,968,281 votes are eligible to be cast on each of the proposals at the Annual Meeting. The holders of a majority of the total shares of common stock and Series F preferred stock (voting on a


 

100 for 1 basis) outstanding on the Record Date, whether present at the Annual Meeting in person or represented by proxy, will constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at the Annual Meeting. The shares held by each stockholder who signs and returns the enclosed proxy card will be counted for the purposes of determining the presence of a quorum at the meeting, whether or not the stockholder abstains on all or any matter to be acted on at the meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes both will be counted toward fulfillment of quorum requirements. Broker-dealers who hold their customers’ shares in street name may, under the applicable rules of the exchanges and other self-regulatory organizations of which the broker-dealers are members, vote the shares of their customers on routine proposals, which under such rules typically includes the election of directors and the approval of a stock incentive plan where the issuance of stock for such plan is less than 5% of the outstanding shares of the class, when they have not received instructions from the customer. Under these rules, brokers may not vote shares of their customers on non-routine matters without instructions from their customers. A broker non-vote occurs with respect to any proposal when a broker holds shares of a customer in its name and is not permitted to vote on that proposal without instruction from the beneficial owner of the shares and no instruction is given.

Counting of Votes

      The purpose of the Annual Meeting is to consider and act upon the matters that are listed in the accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders and set forth in this Proxy Statement. The shares represented by each proxy card will be voted in accordance with the stockholder’s directions. A quorum must be present at the Annual Meeting, including representation by proxy.

      Election of Directors (Proposal 1). The enclosed proxy card provides a means for a stockholder to vote for all of the nominees for director listed thereon or to withhold authority to vote for one or more of such nominees. Our bylaws provide that directors are elected by a plurality of the votes cast. Accordingly, the withholding of authority by a stockholder (including broker non-votes) will not be counted in computing a plurality and thus will have no effect on the results of the election of such nominees.

      Approval and Adoption of Daleen Technologies, Inc. 2001 Broad-Based Stock Incentive Plan (Proposal 2). The accompanying proxy card also provides a means for a stockholder to vote for, against, or abstain from voting on the approval and adoption of the Daleen Technologies, Inc. 2001 Broad-Based Stock Incentive Plan. Each proxy will be voted in accordance with the stockholder’s directions. The affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of common stock and Series F preferred stock (voting on a 100 for 1 basis and with the common stock as a single class) present in person or represented by a proxy and entitled to vote on Proposal 2 is required for the approval of such proposal. Abstentions with respect to Proposal 2 will have the same effect as a vote against such proposal. With respect to broker non-votes, the shares will not be considered present at the meeting for the proposal to which authority was withheld. Consequently, broker non-votes will not be counted with regard to such proposals, but they will have the effect of reducing the number of affirmative votes required to approve Proposal 2, because they reduce the number of shares present or represented from which a majority is calculated.

      Other Matters. Approval of any other matters as may properly come before the meeting also will require the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of common stock and Series F preferred stock (voting on a 100 for 1 basis and with the common stock as a single class) present in person or represented by a proxy and entitled to vote at the meeting.

Proxies

      Proxies for use at the Annual Meeting are being solicited by our Board of Directors from our stockholders. The cost of this solicitation will be borne by the Company. We expect to make arrangements with brokerage firms, banks, custodians, nominees and other fiduciaries to forward proxy solicitation material for shares held of record by them to the beneficial owners of the shares. We will reimburse such persons for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in forwarding the material.

      There is a proxy card for common stock and a proxy card for Series F preferred stock. We have enclosed a proxy card that represents your shares. When the enclosed proxy card is properly signed and

2


 

returned, the shares that it represents will be voted at the Annual Meeting in accordance with the instructions noted thereon. In the absence of such instructions, the shares represented by a signed proxy card will be voted in favor of the nominees for election to the Board of Directors as set forth in Proposal 1 and in favor of Proposal 2. The proxy confers discretionary authority on the persons named therein to vote with respect to the election of any person as a director where the nominee is unable to serve, or will not serve, and matters incident to the conduct of the Annual Meeting. The proxy also confers on the designated proxy holders discretionary authority to vote the shares represented by the proxy in accordance with their best judgment on other business, if any, that may properly come before the Annual Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof.

      Stockholders who hold their shares through an intermediary must provide instructions on voting as requested by their bank or broker. A stockholder who signs and returns a proxy card may revoke it at any time before it is voted by taking one of the following three actions: (i) giving written notice of the revocation to the Secretary of the Company; (ii) executing and delivering a proxy card with a later date; or (iii) voting in person at the Annual Meeting.

      If you have any questions, please call our corporate secretary, Jeanne Prayther, at (561) 999-8000.

      Our executive offices are located at 902 Clint Moore Road, Suite 230, Boca Raton, Florida 33487, and our telephone number is (561) 999-8000.

PROPOSAL 1

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Introduction

      Our Board of Directors is divided into three classes, each of whose members serve for a staggered three-year term. At each annual meeting of stockholders, a class of directors is elected for a three-year term to succeed the directors of the same class whose terms are then expiring. The Board is currently comprised of two Class I directors (Paul G. Cataford and Paula J. Hilbert), one Class II director (Daniel J. Foreman), and three Class III directors (James Daleen, Ofer Nemirovsky and Stephen J. Getsy). The terms of the Class III directors expire at the Annual Meeting. The terms of the Class I directors and Class II directors will expire upon the election and qualification of successor directors at the 2003 and 2004 annual meeting of stockholders, respectively. In order to make the number of directors in each class equal in number, the Nominating Committee of the Board of Directors and the Board of Directors have recommended that two directors be elected as Class III directors for a three-year term expiring at the 2005 annual meeting of stockholders and one director be elected as a Class II director for a two-year term expiring at the 2004 annual meeting of stockholders. Based on the recommendation of the Nominating Committee, the Board of Directors has nominated James Daleen and Ofer Nemirovsky as Class III directors and Stephen J. Getsy as a Class II director.

      Our bylaws provide that each class of directors will be elected by a plurality of all votes cast at the meeting. Shares represented by executed proxies will be voted, if authority to do so is not withheld, for the election of each nominee. In the event that a nominee should be unavailable for election, such shares will be voted for the election of such substitute nominee as the Nominating Committee and the Board of Directors may select. Alternatively, the Board of Directors may choose to leave such vacancy open or fill the vacancy subsequent to the Annual Meeting. Each of the nominees currently is a member of our Board of Directors and has consented to serve as a director if elected. There are no family relationships among any of the directors or director nominees of the Company. Management has no reason to believe that any of the nominees will be unable to serve.

      The Nominating Committee has evaluated each nominee and recommended that the Board of Directors nominate each of the nominees for election to the Company’s Board of Directors. The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR each named nominee.

Information Concerning the Directors

      The name and age, principal occupation or employment, and other data regarding each director, including nominees for director, based on information received from the respective director, are set forth below:

Meetings of the Board of Directors

      During 2001, our Board of Directors held 20 meetings. During intervals between meetings, the directors engage in informal discussions among themselves and with management of the Company, and in some instances, take action by consent in lieu of meeting. In 2001, our Board of Directors took action by unanimous written consent one time. All of the incumbent directors attended at least 75% of the aggregate total number of meetings of the Board of Directors and meetings of committees of the Board of Directors on which they served.

Committees of the Board of Directors

      The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, which currently consists of Mr. Getsy, the chairman, and Ms. Hilbert and Mr. Nemirovsky, held four meetings during 2001. Ms. Hilbert replaced Neil E. Cox as a member of the Compensation Committee after Mr. Cox’s resignation from the Board of Directors in June 2001. Each of the members of the Compensation Committee was a member of the Board of Directors during 2001 and none of the members is an executive officer of the Company. The Compensation Committee reviews and evaluates the compensation and benefits of all of our officers, reviews general policy matters relating to compensation and benefits of our employees and makes recommendations concerning these matters to the Board of Directors. The Compensation Committee also administers our stock incentive plans.

      The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, which currently consists of Mr. Foreman, the chairman, and Messrs. Cataford and Nemirovsky, held six meetings during 2001. William A. Roper, Jr., a

9


 

former director of the Company, served on the Audit Committee until his resignation from the Board of Directors in March 2002. Mr. Nemirovsky was elected to the Audit Committee effective upon Mr. Roper’s resignation. The Audit Committee reviews the scope and timing of our audit services and any other services our independent auditors are asked to perform. In addition, the Audit Committee reviews and evaluates our audit and control functions and makes recommendations to our Board of Directors for the selection of independent auditors for the following year.

      The Nominating Committee, which consists of Ms. Hilbert, the chairperson, and Messers. Foreman and Cataford, was formed by the Company in February 2002. The Nominating Committee evaluates and recommends individuals for membership on the Company’s Board of Directors. While our Nominating Committee and Board of Directors will consider nominees recommended by stockholders, it has not actively solicited recommendations from our stockholders for nominees nor, subject to the procedural requirements set forth in our Certificate of Incorporation and our bylaws, has it established any procedures for this purpose.

Report of the Audit Committee

      Management is responsible for the Company’s financial reporting process including its system of internal control, and for the preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The Company’s independent auditors are responsible for auditing those financial statements. The Audit Committee’s responsibility is to monitor and review these processes. It is not the Audit Committee’s duty or responsibility to conduct auditing or accounting reviews or procedures. The members of the Audit Committee are not employees of the Company and may not be, and the members do not represent themselves to be or to serve as, accountants or auditors by profession or experts in the fields of accounting or auditing. Therefore, the Audit Committee has relied on management’s representation that the financial statements have been prepared with integrity and objectivity and in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and on the representations of the independent auditors included in their report on the Company’s financial statements. The Audit Committee’s oversight does not provide it with an independent basis to determine that management has maintained appropriate accounting and financial reporting principles or policies, or appropriate internal controls and procedures designed to assure compliance with accounting standards and applicable laws and regulations. Furthermore, the Audit Committee’s considerations and discussions with management and the independent auditors do not assure that the Company’s financial statements are presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, that the audit of the Company’s financial statements has been carried out in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards or that the Company’s independent accountants are in fact “independent.”

      The following report of the Audit Committee does not constitute soliciting material and should not be deemed filed or incorporated by reference into any other Company filing under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, except to the extent the Company specifically incorporates this report by reference therein.

      As set forth in more detail in the Audit Committee Charter, which was attached as Appendix F to the Company’s proxy statement for the 2001 annual meeting of stockholders, the Audit Committee’s primary responsibilities include:

  •  monitoring the integrity of the Company’s financial reporting process and systems of internal controls regarding finance, accounting and legal compliance;
 
  •  monitoring the independence and performance of the Company’s independent auditors; and
 
  •  providing an avenue of communication among the independent auditors, management and the Board of Directors.

      The Audit Committee recommends the selection of the Company’s independent auditors to the Board of Directors and meets with the Company’s independent auditors to discuss the scope and to review the results of the annual audit as well as the results of the independent auditor’s quarterly reviews.

10


 

      The Audit Committee has implemented procedures to ensure that during the course of each fiscal year it devotes the attention that it deems necessary or appropriate to each of the matters assigned to it under the Committee’s charter. To carry out its responsibilities, the Audit Committee met six times during 2001.

      Each of the directors who serve, or served, on this committee are “Independent” for purposes of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.’s listing standards. That is, the Board of Directors has determined that each of the members of the Audit Committee does not have any relationship to the Company that may interfere with the Audit Committee’s independence from the Company and its management.

      The Audit Committee has reviewed the Company’s consolidated financial statements and met with both management and KPMG LLP, the Company’s independent auditors, to discuss those consolidated financial statements, including the independent auditor’s delivery of a going concern paragraph in its report of our audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2001. Management has represented to the Audit Committee that the consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

      The Audit Committee has received from and discussed with KPMG LLP the written disclosure and the letter required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1 (Independence Discussions with Audit Committees). These items relate to that firm’s independence from the Company. The Audit Committee has also discussed with KPMG LLP any matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61 (Communication with Audit Committees).

      On the basis of these reviews and discussions, the Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the Board approve inclusion of the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001, for filing with the Commission.

Compensation of Directors

      Neither employee nor non-employee directors receive compensation for services performed in their capacity as directors except as provided below. We reimburse each director for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in attending meetings of the Board of Directors and any of its committees. In addition, it is our policy that non-employee directors who are not employed by venture capital firms with investments in the Company are eligible to receive options to purchase our common stock under our Amended & Restated 1999 Stock Incentive Plan and our 2001 Broad-Based Stock Incentive Plan. We generally issue to these non-employee directors options to purchase 50,000 shares of common stock upon initial election to our Board of Directors or their becoming otherwise eligible for the option grant and 15,000 options per year thereafter. From time to time directors may participate in receiving special grants that are offered to all the Company’s employees. The disinterested members of our Board of Directors determine the vesting schedule for options granted to non-employee directors. During 2001, Mr. Cataford was issued 50,000 options in December 2001 because he became an independent director upon his resignation as an officer of BCE Capital, Inc. in July 2001. He was also issued 7,500 options in December 2001 as a pro rata portion of the 2001 yearly grant because he became eligible in mid-year. Ms. Hilbert was issued 15,000 options in January 2001 for the 2000 yearly grant, 50,000 options in July 2001 as a special grant issued to all eligible directors, and 15,000 options in December 2001 for the 2001 yearly grant. Mr. Getsy was issued 15,000 options in January 2001 for the 2000 yearly grant, 50,000 options in

11


 

July 2001 as a special grant issued to all eligible directors and 15,000 options in December 2001 for the 2001 yearly grant.

The following table presents the total compensation for the three years ended December 31, 2001, for our chairman, president and chief executive officer and our three other executive officers who were serving as executive officers at the end of the fiscal year and one additional person who was an executive officer during 2001 but was not serving as an executive officer at the end of the fiscal year (collectively, the “Named Executive Officers”).

(1)  Amounts represent hypothetical gains that could be achieved for the respective options if exercised at the end of the option term. These gains are based on the fair market value per share on the date of grant and assumed rates of stock price appreciation of 5% and 10% compounded annually from the date the respective options were granted to their expiration date. These assumptions are mandated by the rules of the Commission and are not intended to forecast future appreciation of our stock price. The potential realizable value computation is net of the applicable exercise price, but does not take into account federal or state income tax consequences and other expenses of option exercises or sales of appreciated stock. Actual gains, if any, are dependent upon the timing of such exercise and the future performance of our common stock. There can be no assurance that the rates of appreciation in this table can be achieved. This table does not take into account any appreciation in the price of our common stock to date.

(3)  Mr. Wagman resigned from the Company effective on August 31, 2001. His options expired 90 days after such resignation.

Employment Agreements

      We entered into a five-year employment agreement with James Daleen, our chief executive officer, on December 1, 1994, which was amended on September 5, 1997 and March 1, 1999. Upon expiration of the initial term in December 1999, the agreement automatically renews for additional terms of three years each unless either party notifies the other of its intent to terminate the employment agreement. The employment agreement provides for a base salary to be determined by our Compensation Committee which may be increased annually, but not decreased. Mr. Daleen’s base salary was $328,900 in 2001 and is $328,900 in 2002. Mr. Daleen may also receive an annual bonus to be determined by our Compensation Committee, with the annual bonus targeted at 50% of Mr. Daleen’s base salary. The employment agreement also provides for option grants under our stock option plans or as determined by our Board of Directors. In the event of the termination of Mr. Daleen’s employment without substantial cause, Mr. Daleen is entitled to a severance payment equal to two years’ base salary in effect at the time of termination and a pro rated performance bonus. In the event of a change of control of the Company, Mr. Daleen will, for a period of two years after such event, have the right to resign and receive a change of control payment. This payment will be equal to two years base salary and prorated performance bonus in addition to the payment of all related excise, federal or state income taxes incurred by the executive as a result of the lump sum cash payment.

      We entered into an employment agreement with Jeanne Prayther on June 9, 2000, which was amended on August 22, 2001 when Ms. Prayther became our chief financial officer and secretary. Ms. Prayther’s base salary for 2001 was $149,500, was increased to $174,500 on November 19, 2001 and is $174,500 in 2002. Ms. Prayther may also receive an annual bonus targeted at up to 25% of her base salary. The employment agreement also provides for option grants under our stock option plans as determined by our Compensation Committee. In the event of termination of her employment by the Company without cause, unless other employment with the Company or a subsidiary is offered or she voluntarily resigns, Ms. Prayther is entitled to a severance payment equal to the lesser of (i) six months salary plus one month salary for each year of employment or (ii) twelve months salary. We also entered into a retention bonus agreement with Ms. Prayther dated August 22, 2001. Ms. Prayther is entitled to receive a retention bonus of $37,500 on each of two retention dates (February 22, 2002 and August 22, 2002). In the event of termination resulting in severance benefits, Ms. Prayther is entitled to a prorated portion of the retention bonus.

      We entered into an employment agreement with Steven R. Kim, our executive vice president of products and technologies, in April 2000. The agreement may be terminated by either party at any time. Mr. Kim’s salary was $200,000 in 2001 and is $200,000 in 2002. Annual salary increases and stock option grants are determined by our Compensation Committee. Mr. Kim may also receive an annual bonus targeted at up to 50% of Mr. Kim’s base salary. In the event of termination of his employment agreement without cause, Mr. Kim is entitled to a severance payment equal to the lesser of (i) nine months salary plus one month salary for each year of employment or (ii) twelve months salary.

      Our executive officers and some of our other employees have signed invention assignment and confidentiality agreements as well as non-compete agreements. Under the invention assignment and confidentiality agreement, these individuals have assigned to us all of their copyrights, trade secrets and patent rights that relate to our business. Under the terms of the non-compete agreement, each of these individuals has agreed not to compete, directly or indirectly, with us in the billing and customer care industry during the term of their employment and for six months after termination of employment. Each also has agreed not to solicit our customers or employees, directly or indirectly, during the period of employment and for one year following termination of employment.

      Effective December 31, 2001, David B. Corey resigned as an employee and as a director of the Company and we entered into a severance and release agreement with Mr. Corey effective on such date. Under the terms of the severance and release Agreement, Mr. Corey is entitled to severance in the amount of twelve months base salary. During the severance period, Mr. Corey may not directly or indirectly engage in any conduct in direct competition with the business of the Company.

      Effective August 31, 2001, Stephen M. Wagman resigned as an employee and as chief financial officer, treasurer and secretary of the Company. The non-compete clause of Mr. Wagman’s Employment Agreement was waived and no severance arrangements were paid as a result of his resignation.

Stock Option and Other Compensation Plans

      2001 Broad-Based Stock Incentive Plan. We have established the 2001 Broad-Based Stock Incentive Plan (“2001 Broad-Based Plan”) to promote our interests by providing employees and key persons the opportunity to purchase shares of common stock and to receive compensation based upon appreciation in the value of those shares. Pursuant to rules of The Nasdaq Stock Market, the 2001 Broad-Based Plan, as approved by the Board of Directors, must issue more than a majority of the eligible options under the 2001 Broad-Based Plan to non-management employees. While the 2001 Broad-Based Plan is eligible to issue options, it must be approved by the stockholders of the Company, as described in this proxy statement, within 12 months of its adoption by the Board, or the options that have been issued will be non-qualified stock options for purposes of the Internal Revenue Code. We have reserved 2,000,000 shares of common stock for issuance under the 2001 Broad-Based Plan. As of December 31, 2001, options to purchase an aggregate of 1,802,750 shares of common stock were outstanding under the 2001 Broad-Based Plan and no shares of common stock have been issued upon exercise of options under the 2001 Broad-Based Plan. If we sell 80% or more of our capital stock or assets, or if we agree to convert 80% or more of the outstanding shares of capital stock into another security, and a participant is terminated for any reason other than for cause or if a participant is terminated as a result of constructive discharge, then the vesting schedule of each option grant for such participant will accelerate by two years. The vesting period for the options granted under the 2001 Broad-Based Plan is at the discretion of the Board of Directors. The vesting period for the options issued in 2001 under the 2001 Broad-Based Plan range from two to four years.

      Amended & Restated 1999 Stock Incentive Plan. We established the Amended & Restated 1999 Stock Incentive Plan (“1999 Plan”) to promote our interests by providing employees and key persons the opportunity to purchase shares of common stock and to receive compensation based upon appreciation in the value of those shares. We have reserved 8,790,145 shares of common stock for issuance under the 1999 Plan. As of December 31, 2001, options to purchase an aggregate of 2,818,542 shares of common stock were outstanding under the 1999 Plan and 181,937 shares of common stock had been issued upon exercise of options granted under the 1999 Plan. If we sell 80% or more of our capital stock or assets, or if we agree to convert 80% or more of the outstanding shares of capital stock into another security, then the vesting schedule of each option grant will accelerate by two years.

      Prior Stock Option Plans. We adopted six other stock option plans between 1994 and 1998. Some of these plans provided for incentive stock options within the meaning of Subsection 422 of the Internal Revenue Code while others provided for non-qualified stock options.

16


 

      Our eight stock option plans are as follows: the 1994 Employee Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan (the “1994 Plan”), the 1995 Qualified Employee Incentive Stock Option Plan (the “1995 Plan”), the 1996 Employee Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan (the “1996 Plan”), the 1997 Employee Incentive Stock Option Plan (the “1997 Plan”), the 1998 Non-Qualified Employee Stock Option Plan (the “1998 Plan”), the 1998 Qualified Employee Incentive Stock Option Plan (the “1998 ISO Plan”), the 1999 Plan, and the 2001 Broad-Based Plan. Each plan provides that the exercise price of the options granted will be issued at no less than the fair market value of the underlying common stock at the date of grant. A summary of our stock option plans is presented below:

(1)  The administrative committee of the 1999 Plan and of the 2001 Broad-Based Plan is permitted to establish alternative vesting schedules.
 
(2)  The options issued in 2001 under the 2001 Broad-Based Plan have a vesting period of two to four years from grant.

      As of December 31, 2001, options to purchase an aggregate of 5,740,532 shares of common stock were outstanding under all the plans at a weighted average exercise price of $5.33 per share and 1,148,116 shares of common stock have been issued upon exercise of options granted under these plans. We are not authorized to issue any more options or other awards under any of these plans except the 2001 Broad-Based Plan and the 1999 Plan.

Limitation of Liability and Indemnification of Officers and Directors

      Our Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, provides that the liability of our directors for monetary damages shall be eliminated to the fullest extent permissible under Delaware law and that we shall indemnify our directors, officers, employees and agents to the fullest extent permitted under Delaware law. Our Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, provides that our directors will not be personally liable to the Company or any stockholder for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except if the director:

  •  is liable under Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law;
 
  •  has breached the director’s duty of loyalty to the Company or our stockholders;
 
  •  has acted in a manner involving intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law or, in failing to act, has acted in a manner involving intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; or
 
  •  has derived an improper personal benefit.

      If Delaware law is amended to provide for further limitations on the personal liability of directors of corporations for breach of duty of care or other duty as a director, then the personal liability of the directors will be so further limited to the greatest extent permitted by Delaware law.

      We maintain a directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

      The following non-employee directors were the members of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors during 2001: Messrs. Getsy, the chairman, Ms. Hilbert and Mr. Nemirovsky. Ms. Hilbert replaced Neil E. Cox as a member of the Compensation Committee after Mr. Cox’s resignation from the Board of Directors in June 2001. None of the members of the Compensation Committee is an executive officer of the Company.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

General

      The Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors has furnished the following report on executive compensation in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Commission. This report outlines the duties of the Compensation Committee with respect to executive compensation, the various components of the Company’s compensation program for executive officers and other key employees, and the basis on which the 2001 compensation was determined for the executive officers of the Company.

      The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors is responsible for establishing compensation levels for the executive officers of the Company, including the annual bonus plan for executive officers and for administering the Company’s stock option plans. The Compensation Committee’s overall objective is to establish a compensation policy that will (i) attract, retain and reward executives who contribute to achieving the Company’s business objectives; (ii) motivate executives to obtain these objectives; and (iii) align the interests of executives with those of the Company’s long-term investors. The Company compensates executive officers with a combination of salary and incentives designed to focus their efforts on maximizing both the near-term and long-term financial performance of the Company. In addition, the Company’s compensation program rewards individual performance that furthers Company goals. The executive compensation program includes the following: (i) base salary; (ii) incentive bonuses; (iii) long-term equity incentive awards in the form of stock option grants; (iv) retention agreements; and (v) other benefits. Each executive officer’s compensation package is designed to provide an appropriately-weighted mix of these elements which cumulatively provide a level of compensation roughly equivalent to that paid by companies of similar size and complexity.

 
Compensation of Executive Officers Generally

      Base Salary. Base salary levels for each of the Company’s executive officers, including the chief executive officer, are generally set within a range of base salaries that the Compensation Committee believes are paid to similar executive officers at companies deemed comparable based on the similarity in revenue level, industry segment and competitive employment market to the Company. In addition, the Compensation Committee generally takes into account the Company’s past financial performance and future expectations, as well as the performance of the executives and changes in the executives’ responsibilities.

      In 2002, the Compensation Committee determined that no annual salary increases would be provided to the executive officers.

      Incentive Bonuses. The Compensation Committee recommends the payment of bonuses to provide an incentive to executive officers to be productive over the course of each fiscal year. These bonuses are awarded only if the Company and the executives achieve or exceed certain pre-established performance objectives. In 2001, there were no bonuses paid to executives. In 2002, incentive bonuses will be based on the Company’s achievement of pre-established performance objectives.

      Retention Bonuses. Retention bonus agreements are used to provide additional financial incentive to retain key executives whose contributions are critical to the Company. The agreements generally provide for a bonus to be paid on each of two retention dates six months and one year from the date of the agreement. In the event of termination resulting in severance benefits, the executive is entitled to a

18


 

prorated portion of the retention bonus. In 2001, three agreements were executed and no bonus payments were made. However, the Company will make retention bonus payments under these agreements during 2002.

      Equity Incentives. Stock options are used by the Company for payment of long-term compensation to provide a stock-based incentive to improve the Company’s financial performance and to assist in the recruitment, retention and motivation of professional, managerial and other personnel. Generally, stock options are granted to executive officers from time to time based primarily upon the individual’s actual and/or potential contributions to the Company and the Company’s financial performance. Stock options are designed to align the interests of the Company’s executive officers with those of its stockholders by encouraging executive officers to enhance the value of the Company, the price of the common stock, and hence, the stockholders’ return. In addition, the vesting of stock options over a period of time is designed to create an incentive for the individual to remain with the Company. Generally, ongoing option grants occur at year-end and in connection with promotions or an executive’s acceptance of significant new and additional responsibilities. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001, the Company granted options to purchase an aggregate of 1,044,080 shares of common stock to its current executive officers.

      Other Benefits. Benefits offered to the Company’s executive officers are provided to serve as a safety net of protection against the financial catastrophes that can result from illness, disability, or death. Benefits offered to the Company’s executive officers are substantially the same as those offered to all of the Company’s regular employees. In January 1994, the Company established a tax-qualified deferred compensation 401(k) Savings Plan (the “401(k) Plan”) covering all of the Company’s eligible full-time employees. Under the 401(k) Plan, participants may elect to contribute, through salary reductions, up to 25% of their annual compensation subject to a statutory maximum. In 2000, the Company’s matching contribution was changed to 35% up to the first 8% contributed under the 401(k) Plan. In 2001, the Company continued to provide additional matching contributions in the amount of 35% up to the first 8% contributed under the 401(k) Plan. The 401(k) Plan is designed to qualify under Section 401 of the Internal Revenue Code so that the contributions by employees or by the Company to the 401(k) Plan, and income earned on plan contributions, are not taxable to employees until withdrawn from the 401(k) Plan, and so that contributions by the Company will be deductible by the Company when made.

Compensation of the Chief Executive Officer

      The Compensation Committee annually reviews the performance and compensation of the chief executive officer based on the assessment of his past performance and its expectation of his future contributions to the Company’s performance. James Daleen has served as the Company’s chief executive officer since our founding in 1989. In 2001, Mr. Daleen’s base salary was set at $328,900. The Compensation Committee believes the compensation paid to Mr. Daleen was reasonable.

19


 

Policy with Respect to Qualifying Compensation for Deductibility

      Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code imposes a limit on tax deductions for annual compensation (other than performance-based compensation) in excess of one million dollars paid by a corporation to its chief executive officer and the other four most highly compensated executive officers of a corporation. The Company has not established a policy with regard to Section 162(m) of the Code, since the Company has not and does not currently anticipate paying cash compensation in excess of one million dollars per annum to any employee. None of the compensation paid by the Company in 2001 was subject to the limitations on deductibility. The Board of Directors will continue to assess the impact of Section 162(m) on its compensation practices and determine what further action, if any, is appropriate.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

      Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder requires our directors, executive officers and persons who own beneficially more than 10% of our common stock and persons who own beneficially more than 10% of our Series F preferred stock to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership of such stock with the Commission. Based solely upon a review of such reports, we believe that all our directors, executive officers and 10% stockholders complied with all applicable Section 16(a) filing requirements during the last fiscal year, with the exception of one late filing of a Form 3 by Jeanne Prayther, the Company’s chief financial officer and secretary.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

Transactions with Companies Associated with SAIC

      William A. Roper, Jr., who resigned as a member of our Board of Directors in March 2002, is a corporate executive vice president of Science Applications International Corporation (“SAIC”). SAIC Venture Capital Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of SAIC, is a significant stockholder of the Company. Mr. Roper is the chairman of the board of SAIC Venture Capital Corporation. We derived $382,603 in 2000 and $36,893 in 2001 in revenue from SAIC pursuant to a license agreement between SAIC and the Company. In addition, SAIC owns 44% of all voting stock of Danet, Inc. (“Danet”) and 100% of the voting stock of Telcordia Technologies, Inc. (“Telcordia”). Danet is both a customer of ours as well as a distributor of our products. Sales to Danet for the years ended December 31, 1999, 2000 and 2001 amounted to $1,031,350, $0 and $7,688, respectively. We paid Danet, in its capacity as distributor of our products, $99,468, $144,862 and $249,018 for the years ended December 31, 1999, 2000 and 2001. We had a strategic alliance relationship with Telcordia in 2000 and 2001. We also entered into an OEM license agreement with Telcordia in July 2001 and a services agreement in December 2001. We did not receive any revenue from, or make any payments to, Telcordia in connection with the alliance relationship during 2000 or 2001. We derived revenue of $291,315 from Telcordia in 2001 as a result of the OEM license agreement and services agreement.

      SAIC Venture Capital Corporation also participated in the Private Placement as described below.

Private Placement Transaction

      On March 30, 2001, we entered into definitive agreements (collectively, the “Purchase Agreements”) for the sale (the “Private Placement”) of $27,500,000 of Series F preferred stock and Series F warrants. Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreements, we consummated the Private Placement on June 7, 2001. We received net proceeds on June 7, 2001, of approximately $25.7 million from the Private Placement. The consummation of the Private Placement was subject to the receipt of approval from our stockholders, including approval of an amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock to 200 million shares and to create and designate the Series F preferred stock. Our stockholders approved the Private Placement and the related amendments to the certificate of incorporation at the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders on June 7, 2001.

      The offering and sale of the Series F preferred stock and Series F warrants was exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, by virtue of Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder.

      Pursuant to the Purchase Agreements, we issued and sold (i) an aggregate of 247,882 shares Series F preferred stock and (ii) Series F warrants to purchase an aggregate of 109,068 shares of Series F preferred stock, including Series F warrants that we issued to Robertson Stephens, Inc., which acted as our placement agent in the Private Placement. The purchase price per share of the Series F preferred stock (without giving effect to the allocation of any part of the purchase price to the Series F warrants) was $110.94 per share, which is equal to (A) $1.1094, the average closing price per share of our common stock during the ten trading days ending on March 30, 2001, the date of the Purchase Agreements, multiplied by (B) 100, the number of shares of common stock initially issuable upon conversion of a share of Series F preferred stock. Each share of Series F preferred stock, including the shares issuable upon exercise of the Series F warrants, are currently convertible into 122.4503 shares of common stock, or an aggregate of approximately 43,708,637 shares of common stock.

PROPOSAL 2

APPROVAL AND ADOPTION OF THE DALEEN TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

2001 BROAD-BASED STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN

      On July 18, 2001, the Board of Directors approved the 2001 Broad-Based Plan. 2,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock were authorized for issuance under the 2001 Broad-Based Plan. For each option granted pursuant to the 2001 Broad-Based Plan, an equal number of shares will be reduced from the “evergreen” provision of the 1999 Plan. It is the Company’s intent that a majority of the stock incentives granted under the 2001 Broad-Based Plan be granted to employees other than directors and officers.

      On July 18, 2001, the Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors authorized the grant of options to purchase an aggregate of 1,403,250 shares of common stock to its employees under the 2001 Broad-Based Plan at the fair market value at date of grant. On December 31, 2001, the Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors authorized the issuance of options to purchase an aggregate of 399,500 shares of common stock to its employees under the 2001 Broad-Based Plan at the fair market value at date of grant. The vesting period for these options is at the discretion of the Board of Directors. The vesting period for the options issued in 2001 ranges from two to four years from date of grant. In the event our stockholders do not approve the 2001 Broad-Based Plan, each of these issued options remains outstanding but will be non-qualified stock options for purposes of the Internal Revenue Code. The text of the proposed 2001 Broad-Based Plan is set forth in Annex A to this Proxy Statement and is incorporated herein by reference.

      The following table sets forth the awards that have been made under the 2001 Broad-Based Plan to each of the Named Executive Officers, to all current executive officers as a group, to all directors as a group and to all employees as a group. Other benefits or amounts may be received by such individuals or others, but such amounts are not determinable.

Purpose of the 2001 Broad-Based Plan

      The purpose of the 2001 Broad-Based Plan is to promote the interests of the Company by providing the opportunity to purchase common stock of the Company or to receive compensation which is based upon appreciation in the value of the common stock of the Company to employees, directors, officers, consultants and advisors of the Company, in order to attract and retain such persons by providing an incentive to work to increase the value of the common stock of the Company and a stake in the future of the Company which corresponds to the stake of each of the Company’s stockholders.

Administration of the 2001 Broad-Based Plan

      The Board of Directors and/or the Compensation Committee of the Board will administer the 2001 Broad-Based Plan. The Board of Directors and/or the Compensation Committee have the authority to interpret the 2001 Broad-Based Plan, and subject to certain restrictions, to take such other action in the administration and operation of the 2001 Broad-Based Plan as they deem equitable under the circumstances. The Board of Directors generally has discretion to determine the terms of option grants, restricted stock awards and stock appreciation rights. Option grants are subject to certain limitations, including the following:

  •  the number of shares subject to options or stock appreciation rights granted to any one person in a year may not exceed an aggregate of 500,000 shares;
 
  •  incentive stock options may only be granted to persons who are employees of the Company;
 
  •  if an award is intended to be an incentive stock option, the option price per share may not be less than the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant, and if the award is granted to a stockholder holding more than 10% of the combined voting power of all classes of our capital stock, the option price per share may not be less than 110% of the fair market value of our common stock on the date of the grant; and
 
  •  the term of an incentive stock option may not exceed 10 years, or five years if granted to a stockholder owning more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock.

Number of Shares of Common Stock Reserved for Issuance under the 2001 Broad-Based Plan

      The 2001 Broad-Based Plan has 2,000,000 shares of common stock reserved for issuance pursuant to awards granted under the 2001 Broad-Based Plan. For each option granted pursuant to the 2001 Broad-Based Plan, an equal number of shares will be reduced from the “evergreen” provision of the 1999 Plan.

Eligible Participants

      The Compensation Committee determines the class of persons eligible to participate under the 2001 Broad-Based Plan. The class of eligible participants shall include, but is not limited to, all employees, officers, directors, consultants and advisors of the Company. It is the Company’s intent that a majority of the stock incentives granted under the 2001 Broad-Based Plan be granted to employees other than directors and officers.

Types of Awards That Can Be Granted

      The 2001 Broad-Based Plan provides for the grant of four types of awards:

  •  incentive stock options (if the 2001 Broad-Based Plan is approved by the stockholders within one year of adoption by the Board of Directors);
 
  •  non-qualified stock options;
 
  •  restricted stock awards; and
 
  •  stock appreciation rights.

25


 

      In the event the stockholders of the Company do not approve the 2001 Broad-Based Plan within one year after its adoption by the Board of Directors, all previously issued incentive stock options will become non-qualified stock options.

Amendment or Termination of the 2001 Broad-Based Plan

      The Board of Directors may amend the 2001 Broad-Based Plan without the consent of the stockholders at any time, with certain restrictions, including the following:

  •  to increase the number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance pursuant to awards under the 2001 Broad-Based Plan;
 
  •  to extend the life of the 2001 Broad-Based Plan beyond 10 years;
 
  •  to extend the maximum exercise period of any award; and
 
  •  to change who is eligible to receive awards under the 2001 Broad-Based Plan.

Federal Income Tax Consequences

      Incentive Stock Options. An option holder has no tax consequences upon issuance or, generally, upon exercise of an incentive stock option (“ISO”). However, the excess of the fair market value of the shares transferred upon the exercise of an ISO over the exercise price for such shares generally will constitute an item of alternative minimum tax adjustment to the option holder for the year in which the option is exercised, and thus may increase the federal income tax liability of the option holder as a result of the exercise of an ISO under the alternative minimum tax rules of the Internal Revenue Code. An option holder will recognize income when he sells or exchanges the shares acquired upon exercise of an ISO. This income will be taxed at the applicable capital gains rate if the sale or exchange occurs after the expiration of the requisite holding periods. Generally, the requisite holding periods expire two years after the date of grant of the ISO and one year after the date of acquisition of the common stock pursuant to the exercise of the ISO.

      If an option holder disposes of the common stock acquired pursuant to exercise of an ISO before the expiration of the requisite holding periods, the option holder will recognize ordinary income in an amount equal to the difference between the option price and the lesser of (i) the fair market value of the shares on the date of exercise and (ii) the price at which the shares are sold. However, if the option holder is subject to suit under Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the short swing profits rule), the option holder will recognize ordinary income in an amount equal to the difference between the option price and the lesser of (i) the fair market value of the shares as of a later date (such later date being the earlier of (1) the expiration of 6 months from the date of exercise, or (2) the first day on which the disposition of such property would not subject such option holder to suit under Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, unless the option holder makes a timely Internal Revenue Code § 83(b) election in which event the fair market value of the shares will be determined on the date of exercise) and (ii) the price at which the shares are sold. This amount will be taxed at ordinary income rates. If the sale price of the shares is greater than the fair market value on the date of exercise, the difference will be recognized as gain by the option holder and taxed at the applicable capital gains rate. If the sale price of the shares is less than the option price, the option holder will recognize a capital loss equal to the excess of the option price over the sale price. Such capital gain or loss will be treated as long-term or short-term capital gain or loss depending upon whether the holding period applicable to the long-term capital assets has been satisfied.

      For these purposes, the use of shares acquired upon exercise of an ISO to pay the option price of another option (whether or not it is an ISO) will be considered a disposition of the shares. If this disposition occurs before the expiration of the requisite holding periods, the option holder will have the same tax consequences as are described above in the preceding paragraph. If the option holder transfers any such shares after holding them for the requisite holding periods or transfers shares acquired pursuant to exercise of a nonqualified stock option (“NQSO”) or on the open market, he generally will not

26


 

recognize any income upon the exercise. Whether or not the transferred shares were acquired pursuant to an ISO and regardless of how long the option holder has held such shares, the basis of the new shares received pursuant to the exercise will be computed in two steps. In the first step, a number of new shares equal to the number of older shares tendered (in payment of the option’s exercise) is considered exchanged under Internal Revenue Code § 1036 and the rulings thereunder. Accordingly, these new shares receive the same holding period and the same basis the option holder had in the old tendered shares, if any, plus the amount included in income from the deemed sale of the old shares and the amount of cash or other nonstock consideration paid for the new shares, if any. In the second step, the number of new shares received by the option holder in excess of the old tendered shares receives a basis of zero, and the option holder’s holding period with respect to such shares commences upon exercise.

      An option holder may have tax consequences upon exercise of an ISO if the aggregate fair market value of shares of the common stock subject to ISO’s which first become exercisable by an option holder in any one calendar year exceeds $100,000. If this occurs, the excess shares will be treated as though they are subject to a NQSO instead of an ISO. Upon exercise of an option with respect to these shares, the option holder will have the tax consequences described below with respect to the exercise of NQSO’s.

      There will be no tax consequences to the Company upon issuance or, generally, upon exercise of an ISO. However, to the extent that an option holder recognizes ordinary income upon exercise, as described above, the Company generally will have a deduction in the same amount, provided the Company satisfies applicable federal income tax reporting requirements or the option holder actually reports such income on his or her federal income tax return.

      Nonqualified Stock Options. Neither the Company nor the option holder has income tax consequences from the issuance of NQSO’s. Generally, in the tax year when an option holder exercises NQSO’s, the option holder recognizes ordinary income in the amount by which the fair market value of the shares at the time of exercise exceeds the option price for such shares. However, if the option holder is subject to suit under Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the short swing profits rule), the option holder recognizes ordinary income in the amount by which the fair market value of the shares determined as of a later date exceeds the option price for such shares, with such later date being the earlier of (i) the expiration of 6 months from the date of exercise, or (ii) the first day on which the disposition of such property would not subject such option holder to suit under Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, unless the option holder makes a timely Internal Revenue Code § 83(b) election, in which event the fair market value of the shares will be determined on the date of exercise. The Company generally will be entitled to a deduction in the same amount as the ordinary income recognized by the option holder in the Company’s tax year during which the option holder recognizes ordinary income, provided the Company satisfies applicable federal income tax reporting requirements or the option holder actually reports such income on his or her federal income tax return.

      Depending upon the period shares of common stock are held after exercise, the sale or other taxable disposition of the shares acquired through the exercise of a NQSO generally will result in a short-term or long-term capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized on such disposition and the fair market value of such shares when the NQSO was exercised (or if the option holder was subject to Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and did not make a timely Internal Revenue Code § 83(b) election, the fair market value on the delayed determination date, if applicable.

      Special rules apply to an employee who exercises a NQSO by paying the exercise price, in whole or in part, by the transfer of shares of common stock to the Company. If an option holder exercises a NQSO by paying the option price with previously acquired common stock, the option holder will generally recognize income (relative to the new shares he is receiving) in two steps. In the first step, a number of new shares equivalent to the number of older shares tendered (in payment of the NQSO exercised) is considered to have been exchanged in accordance with Internal Revenue Code §1036 and the rulings thereunder. Accordingly, no gain or loss is recognized upon the exchange, and the new shares received in the exchange obtain the same holding period and the same basis the option holder had in the old tendered shares. In the second step, with respect to the number of new shares acquired in excess of the number of

27


 

old shares tendered, the option holder will recognize income on those new shares equal to their fair market value less any nonstock consideration tendered.

      The excess new shares received will obtain a basis equal to the amount of income recognized by the option holder by exercise, increased by any nonstock consideration tendered. Their holding period for the excess new shares commences upon the exercise of the option.

      Stock Appreciation Rights. At the time a stock appreciation right (“SAR”) is granted, a SAR holder will recognize no taxable income, and there are no tax consequences to the Company. The SAR holder will recognize taxable income at the time the SAR is exercised in an amount equal to the amount of cash and the fair market value of the shares of the common stock received upon such exercise. However, if the SAR holder is subject to suit under Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the short swing profits rule), the SAR holder will recognize taxable income at the time the SAR is exercise in an amount equal to the amount of cash received upon exercise and the fair market value (determined as of the earlier of (i) the expiration of 6 months from the date of exercise, or (ii) the first day on which the disposition of such property would not subject such SAR holder to suit under Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, unless the SAR holder makes a timely Internal Revenue Code § 83(b) election) of the common stock received upon such exercise. The income recognized on exercise of a SAR will be taxable at ordinary income tax rates. The Company generally will be entitled to a deduction with respect to the exercise of a SAR in an amount equal to the amount of ordinary income recognized by the SAR holder upon such exercise, provided the Company satisfies applicable federal income tax reporting requirements or the SAR holder actually reports such income on his or her federal income tax returns. Any gain or loss upon the disposition of the common stock acquired pursuant to the exercise of a SAR will qualify as short-term or long-term capital gain or loss depending on how long the SAR holder holds the common stock before such disposition.

      Restricted Stock. A holder of restricted stock will recognize income upon its receipt, but generally only to the extent that it is not subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture. If the restricted stock is subject to restrictions that lapse in increments over a period of time, so that the holder becomes vested in a portion of the shares as the restrictions lapse, the holder will recognize income in any tax year only with respect to the shares that become nonforfeitable during that year. If a holder of restricted stock cannot sell the common stock without being subject to suit under Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the short swing profits rule), the common stock will be treated as subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture. The income recognized will be equal to the fair market value of those shares, determined as of the time that the restrictions on those shares lapse. That income generally will be taxable at ordinary income tax rates. The Company generally will be entitled to a deduction in an amount equal to the amount of ordinary income recognized by the holder of the restricted stock, provided the Company satisfies applicable federal income tax reporting requirements or the holder of the restricted stock actually reports such income on his or her federal income tax return.

      Alternatively, a holder of restricted stock may make a timely Internal Revenue Code § 83(b) election to recognize ordinary income for the taxable year in which he receives an award of restricted stock in an amount equal to the fair market value of all shares of restricted stock awarded to him (even if the shares are subject to forfeiture). That income will be taxable at ordinary income tax rates. At the time of disposition of the shares, a holder who has made such an election will recognize gain in an amount equal to the difference between the sales price and the fair market value of the shares at the time of the award. Such gain will be taxable at the applicable capital gains rate. A timely Internal Revenue Code § 83(b) election must be made within 30 days after the transfer of the restricted stock to the holder. The Company generally will be entitled to a deduction equal to the amount of ordinary income recognized by the holder at the time of his election, provided the Company satisfies applicable federal income tax reporting requirements or the employee actually reports such income on his or her federal income tax return.

      Cash dividends paid to a holder of restricted stock prior to the date the restricted stock is no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture or is forfeited are treated as ordinary income of the holder of restricted stock in the year received. Depending upon the period shares of common stock are held after

28


 

receipt by a holder of restricted stock, the sale or other taxable disposition of such shares will result in short-term or long-term capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized on such disposition and the fair market value of such shares generally (i) when the restricted stock is no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture, or (ii) upon receipt if a timely Internal Revenue Code § 83(b) election was made with respect to the shares.

      Limitation on Company Deductions. Notwithstanding the preceding provisions, no federal income tax deduction is allowed for compensation paid to a “covered employee” in any taxable year of the Company beginning on or after January 1, 1994, to the extent that such compensation exceeds $1,000,000. For this purpose, “covered employees” are generally the chief executive officer of the Company and the four highest compensated officers of the Company, and the term “compensation” generally includes amounts includable in gross income as a result of the exercise of stock options or stock appreciation rights, or the receipt of restricted stock. This deduction limitation does not apply to compensation that is commission based compensation, performance based compensation, compensation which would not be includable in an employee’s gross income, and compensation payable under a written binding contract in existence on February 17, 1993, and not materially modified thereafter.

      Regulations indicate that compensation attributable to a stock option or a stock appreciation right generally will satisfy the limitation exception for performance based compensation if the grant or award is made by a “compensation committee” (a committee composed of “outside” directors), the plan under which the option or right is granted states the maximum number of shares with respect to which the options or rights may be granted during a specified period to any employee, and, under the terms of the option or right, the amount of compensation the employee could receive is based solely on an increase in the value of the stock after the date of the grant or award. Stock options and stock appreciation rights granted under the 2001 Broad-Based Plan may possibly satisfy these requirements, depending upon the specific terms, provisions, restrictions and limitations of such options or rights.

      ERISA. The 2001 Broad-Based Plan is not, and is not intended to be, an employee benefit plan or tax-qualified retirement plan. The 2001 Broad-Based Plan is not, therefore, subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”) or Internal Revenue Code §401(a).

      THE FOREGOING IS ONLY A SUMMARY OF THE EFFECT OF FEDERAL INCOME TAXATION UPON OPTIONEES AND THE COMPANY WITH RESPECT TO THE GRANT AND EXERCISE OF OPTIONS UNDER THE 2001 BROAD-BASED PLAN. IT DOES NOT PURPORT TO BE COMPLETE, AND DOES NOT DISCUSS THE TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE EMPLOYEE’S OR CONSULTANT’S DEATH OR THE PROVISIONS OF THE INCOME TAX LAWS OF ANY MUNICIPALITY, STATE OR FOREIGN COUNTRY IN WHICH THE EMPLOYEE OR CONSULTANT MAY RESIDE.

      The 2001 Broad-Based Plan will be fully adopted upon receiving the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the shares present or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting. Proxies will be voted in accordance with the specifications marked thereon, and if no specification is made, will be voted “FOR” adoption of the 2001 Broad-Based Plan. The Board has determined that the adoption of the 2001 Broad-Based Plan is in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders.

      The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR the adoption of the 2001 Broad-Based Plan.

The Board shall have the power to interpret this Plan and, subject to the terms and provisions of this Plan, to take such other action in the administration and operation of the Plan as it deems equitable under the circumstances.

Except as limited by law or by the Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Company, and subject to the provisions herein, the Board shall have full power to select Employees and Key Persons who shall participate in the Plan, to determine the sizes and types of Stock Incentives in a manner consistent with the Plan, to determine the terms and conditions of Stock Incentives in a manner consistent with the Plan, to construe and interpret the Plan and any agreement or instrument entered into under the Plan, to establish, amend or waive rules and regulations for the Plan’s administration, and to amend the terms and conditions of any outstanding Stock Incentives as allowed under the Plan and such Stock Incentives. Further, the Board may make all other determinations which may be necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan.

A-3

The Board may delegate its authority under the Plan, in whole or in part, to a Committee (the Compensation Committee) appointed by the Board consisting of not less than two (2) directors. The members of the Committee shall be appointed from time to time by, and shall serve at the discretion of, the Board. The Committee (if appointed) shall act according to the policies and procedures set forth in the Plan and to those policies and procedures established by the Board, and the Committee shall have such powers and responsibilities as are set forth by the Board. Reference to the Board in this Plan shall specifically include reference to the Committee where the Board has delegated its authority to the Committee, and any action by the Committee pursuant to a delegation of authority by the Board shall be deemed an action by the Board under the Plan. Notwithstanding the above, the Board may assume the powers and responsibilities granted to the Committee at any time, in whole or in part. With respect to Committee appointments and composition, only a Committee (or a sub-committee thereof) comprised solely of two (2) or more Outside Directors may grant Stock Incentives which will meet the Performance-Based Exception, and only a Committee comprised solely of Outside Directors may grant Stock Incentives to Insiders that will be exempt from Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act.

All determinations and decisions made by the Board (or its delegate) pursuant to the provisions of this Plan and all related orders and resolutions of the Board shall be final, conclusive and binding on all persons, including the Company, its stockholders, Directors, Employees, Key Persons, Participants, and their estates and beneficiaries.

SECTION 6.

ELIGIBILITY

      Employees and Key Persons selected by the Board shall be eligible for the grant of Stock Incentives under this Plan, but no Employee or Key Person shall have the right to be granted a Stock Incentive under this Plan merely as a result of his or her status as an Employee or Key Person. Only Employees shall be eligible to receive a grant of ISO’s. It is the Company’s intent that a majority of the Stock Incentives granted under this Plan be granted to Employees other than Directors and Officers.

SECTION 7.

TERMS OF STOCK INCENTIVES

      7.1     Terms and Conditions of All Stock Incentives.

        (a) The Board, in its absolute discretion, shall grant Stock Incentives under this Plan from time to time and shall have the right to grant new Stock Incentives in exchange for outstanding Stock Incentives. Stock Incentives shall be granted to Employees or Key Persons selected by the Board, and the Board shall be under no obligation whatsoever to grant Stock Incentives to all Employees or Key Persons, or to grant all Stock Incentives subject to the same terms and conditions.
 
        (b) The number of Shares as to which a Stock Incentive shall be granted shall be determined by the Board in its sole discretion, subject to the provisions of Section 3 as to the total number of shares available for grants under the Plan.
 
        (c) Each Stock Incentive shall be evidenced by a Stock Incentive Agreement executed by the Company and the Participant, which shall be in such form and contain such terms and conditions as the Board in its discretion may, subject to the provisions of the Plan, from time to time determine.
 
        (d) The date a Stock Incentive is granted shall be the date on which the Board has approved the terms and conditions of the Stock Incentive Agreement and has determined the recipient of the Stock Incentive and the number of Shares covered by the Stock Incentive and has taken all such other action necessary to complete the grant of the Stock Incentive.

A-4


 

      7.2     Terms and Conditions of Options. Each grant of an Option shall be evidenced by a Stock Incentive Agreement which shall:

        (a) specify whether the Option is an ISO or Non-ISO; and
 
        (b) incorporate such other terms and conditions as the Board, acting in its absolute discretion, deems consistent with the terms of this Plan, including (without limitation) a restriction on the number of Shares subject to the Option which first become exercisable or subject to surrender during any calendar year.

      In determining Employee(s) or Key Person(s) to whom an Option shall be granted and the number of Shares to be covered by such Option, the Board may take into account the recommendations of the Chief Executive Officer of the Company and its other officers, the duties of the Employee or Key Person, the present and potential contributions of the Employee or Key Person to the success of the Company, the anticipated number of years of service remaining before the attainment by the Employee of retirement age, and other factors deemed relevant by the Board, in its sole discretion, in connection with accomplishing the purpose of this Plan. An Employee or Key Person who has been granted an Option to purchase Shares, whether under this Plan or otherwise, may be granted one or more additional Options. If the Board grants an ISO and a Non-ISO to an Employee on the same date, the right of the Employee to exercise or surrender one such Option shall not be conditioned on his or her failure to exercise or surrender the other such Option.

        (a) Exercise Price. Subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 11 and the other provisions of this Section, the Exercise Price shall be as set forth in the applicable Stock Incentive Agreement. With respect to each grant of an ISO to a Participant who is not a Ten Percent Shareholder, the Exercise Price shall not be less than the Fair Market Value on the date the ISO is granted. With respect to each grant of an ISO to a Participant who is a Ten Percent Shareholder, a Ten Percent Shareholder shall not be less than one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value on the date the ISO is granted. If a Stock Incentive is a Non-ISO, the Exercise Price for each Share shall be no less than the minimum price required by applicable state law, or by the Company’s governing instrument, or $0.01, whichever price is greater. Any Stock Incentive intended to meet the Performance-Based Exception must be granted with an Exercise Price equivalent to or greater than the Fair Market Value of the Shares subject thereto.
 
        (b) Option Term. Each Option granted under this Plan shall be exercisable in whole or in part at such time or times as set forth in the related Stock Incentive Agreement, but no Stock Incentive Agreement shall:

        (i) make an Option exercisable before the date such Option is granted; or
 
        (ii) make an Option exercisable after the earlier of:

        (A) the date such Option is exercised in full, or
 
        (B) the date which is the tenth (10th) anniversary of the date such Option is granted, if such Option is a Non-ISO or an ISO granted to a non-Ten Percent Shareholder, or the date which is the fifth (5th) anniversary of the date such Option is granted, if such Option is an ISO granted to a Ten Percent Shareholder.

        A Stock Incentive Agreement may provide for the exercise of an Option after the employment of an Employee has terminated for any reason whatsoever, including death or disability; provided, however, in no event may an Option which is an ISO provide for the exercise of the Option later than ninety (90) days following a termination of employment or later than one year following a termination of employment on account of disability. The Employee’s rights, if any, upon termination of employment will be set forth in the applicable Stock Incentive Agreement.
 
        (c) Payment. Options shall be exercised by the delivery of a written notice of exercise to the Company, setting forth the number of Shares with respect to which the Option is to be exercised

A-5


 

  accompanied by full payment for the Shares. Payment for shares of Stock purchased pursuant to exercise of an Option shall be made in cash or, unless prohibited by the Stock Incentive Agreement, by delivery to the Company of a number of Shares which have been owned and completely paid for by the holder for at least six (6) months prior to the date of exercise (i.e., “mature shares” for accounting purposes) having an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to the amount to be tendered, or a combination thereof. In addition, unless prohibited by the Stock Incentive Agreement, the Option may be exercised through a brokerage transaction following registration of the Company’s equity securities under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as permitted under the provisions of Regulation T applicable to cashless exercises promulgated by the Federal Reserve Board. However, notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Option recipient who is an Insider, a tender of shares or a cashless exercise must (1) have met the requirements of an exemption under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act, or (2) be a subsequent transaction the terms of which were provided for in a transaction initially meeting the requirements of an exemption under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act. Unless the Stock Incentive Agreement provides otherwise, the foregoing exercise payment methods shall be subsequent transactions approved by the original grant of an Option. Except as provided in subparagraph (f) below, payment shall be made at the time that the Option or any part thereof is exercised, and no Shares shall be issued or delivered upon exercise of an Option until full payment has been made by the Participant. The holder of an Option, as such, shall have none of the rights of a stockholder.
 
        Notwithstanding the above, and in the sole discretion of the Board, an Option may be exercised as to a portion or all (as determined by the Board) of the number of Shares specified in the Stock Incentive Agreement by delivery to the Company of a promissory note, such promissory note to be executed by the Participant and which shall include, with such other terms and conditions as the Board shall determine, provisions in a form approved by the Board under which: (i) the balance of the aggregate purchase price shall be payable in equal installments over such period and shall bear interest at such rate (which shall not be less than the prime bank loan rate as determined by the Board) as the Board shall approve, and (ii) the Participant shall be personally liable for payment of the unpaid principal balance and all accrued but unpaid interest.
 
        (d) Conditions to Exercise of an Option. Each Option granted under the Plan shall be exercisable at such time or times, or upon the occurrence of such event or events, and in such amounts, as the Board shall specify in the Stock Incentive Agreement; provided, however, that unless otherwise specified in the applicable Stock Incentive Agreement, each Option shall vest and become exercisable based on the Participant’s continued service over a four-year period, with the Option vesting as to one-fourth (1/4) of the underlying Shares on each of the first four (4) anniversaries of the date of grant. Notwithstanding anything else contained herein, subsequent to the grant of an Option, the Board, at any time before complete termination of such Option, may accelerate the time or times at which such Option may be exercised in whole or in part. The Board may impose such restrictions on any Shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of an Option as it may deem advisable, including, without limitation, vesting or performance-based restrictions, restrictions under applicable federal securities laws, under the requirements of any stock exchange or market upon which such Shares are then listed and/or traded, and under any blue sky or state securities laws applicable to such Shares.
 
        (e) Transferability of Options. An Option shall not be transferable or assignable except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution and shall be exercisable, during the Participant’s lifetime, only by the Participant, or in the event of the disability of the Participant; provided, however, that in the event the Participant is incapacitated and unable to exercise his or her Option, such Option may be exercised by such Participant’s legal guardian, legal representative, or other representative whom the Board deems appropriate based on applicable facts and circumstances. The determination of incapacity of a Participant and the determination of the appropriate representative of the Participant who shall be able to exercise the Option if the Participant is incapacitated shall be determined by the Board in its sole and absolute discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Non-ISO may also be

A-6


 

  transferred as a bona fide gift to one or more members of the Optionee’s family or to a trust for the benefit of one or more family members, in which case the transferee shall be subject to all provisions of the Plan, the Stock Incentive Agreement and the Exercise and Shareholder Agreement provided by the Company in connection with the exercise of the Option and purchase of Shares. In the event of such a gift, the Optionee shall promptly notify the Board of such transfer and deliver to the Board such written documentation as the Board may in its discretion request, including, without limitation, the written acknowledgment of the donee that the donee is subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Stock Incentive Agreement and the Exercise and Shareholder Agreement.
 
        (f) Special Provisions for Certain Substitute Options. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section, any Option in substitution for a stock option previously issued by another entity, which substitution occurs in connection with a transaction to which Code §424(a) is applicable, may provide for an exercise price computed in accordance with Code §424(a) and the regulations thereunder and may contain such other terms and conditions as the Board may prescribe to cause such substitute Option to contain as nearly as possible the same terms and conditions (including the applicable vesting and termination provisions) as those contained in the previously issued stock option being replaced thereby.

      7.3     Terms and Conditions of Stock Appreciation Rights. A Stock Appreciation Right may be granted in connection with all or any portion of a previously or contemporaneously granted Option or not in connection with an Option. A Stock Appreciation Right shall entitle the Participant to receive upon exercise or payment the excess of: (I) the Fair Market Value of a specified number of Shares at the time of exercise, over (II) a specified price which shall be not less than the Exercise Price for that number of Shares in the case of a Stock Appreciation Right granted in connection with a previously or contemporaneously granted Option, or in the case of any other Stock Appreciation Right not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of that number of Shares at the time the Stock Appreciation Right was granted. A Stock Appreciation Right granted in connection with an Option may only be exercised to the extent that the related Option has not been exercised. The exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right shall result in a pro rata surrender of the related Option to the extent the Stock Appreciation Right has been exercised.

        (a) Payment. Upon exercise or payment of a Stock Appreciation Right, the Company shall pay to the Participant the appreciation in cash or Shares (at the aggregate Fair Market Value on the date of payment or exercise) as provided in the Stock Incentive Agreement or, in the absence of such provision, as the Board may determine.
 
        (b) Conditions to Exercise. Each Stock Appreciation Right granted under the Plan shall be exercisable at such time or times, or upon the occurrence of such event or events, and in such amounts, as the Board shall specify in the Stock Incentive Agreement; provided, however, that subsequent to the grant of a Stock Appreciation Right, the Board, at any time before complete termination of such Stock Appreciation Right, may accelerate the time or times at which such Stock Appreciation Right may be exercised in whole or in part.
 
        (c) Transferability of Stock Appreciation Rights. Except as otherwise provided in a Participant’s Stock Incentive Agreement, no Stock Appreciation Right granted under the Plan may be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned or otherwise alienated or hypothecated, other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. Further, except as otherwise provided in a Participant’s Stock Incentive Agreement, all Stock Appreciation Rights granted to a Participant under the Plan shall be exercisable, during the Participant’s lifetime, only by the Participant; provided, however, that in the event the Participant is incapacitated and unable to exercise his or her Stock Appreciation Right, such Stock Appreciation Right may be exercised by such Participant’s legal guardian, legal representative, or other representative whom the Board deems appropriate based on applicable facts and circumstances. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Stock Appreciation Right which is granted in connection with the grant of a Non-ISO may be transferred, but only with the Non-ISO and only as a bona fide gift, to one or more members of the Optionee’s family or to a trust for the benefit of one or more family

A-7


 

  members, in which case the transferee shall be subject to all provisions of the Plan and the Stock Incentive Agreement. In the event of such a gift, the Optionee shall promptly notify the Board of such transfer and deliver to the Board such written documentation as the Board may in its discretion request, including, without limitation, the written acknowledgment of the donee that the donee is subject to the provisions of the Plan and the Stock Incentive Agreement. The determination of incapacity of a Participant and the determination of the appropriate representative of the Participant shall be determined by the Board in its sole and absolute discretion.

      7.4     Terms and Conditions of Restricted Stock Awards. Shares awarded pursuant to Restricted Stock Awards shall be subject to such restrictions as determined by the Board for periods determined by the Board. Unless the applicable Stock Incentive Agreement provides otherwise, holders of Restricted Stock Awards shall be entitled to vote and receive dividends during the periods of restriction to the same extent as holders of unrestricted Common Stock. The Board shall have the power to permit, in its discretion, an acceleration of the expiration of the applicable restriction period with respect to any part or all of the Shares awarded to a Participant. The Board may require a cash payment from the Participant in an amount no greater than the aggregate Fair Market Value of the Shares awarded determined at the date of grant in exchange for the grant of a Restricted Stock Award or may grant a Restricted Stock Award without the requirement of a cash payment.

SECTION 8.

SURRENDER OF OPTIONS

      8.1     General Rule. The Board, acting in its absolute discretion, may incorporate a provision in a Stock Incentive Agreement to allow an Employee or Key Person to surrender his or Option in whole or in part in lieu of the exercise in whole or in part of that Option on any date that:

        (a) the Fair Market Value of the Shares subject to such Option exceeds Exercise Price for such Shares, and
 
        (b) the Option to purchase such Shares is otherwise exercisable.

      8.2     Procedure. The surrender of an Option in whole or in part shall be effected by the delivery of the Stock Incentive Agreement to the Board, together with a statement signed by the Participant which specifies the number of Shares (“Surrendered Shares”) as to which the Participant surrenders his or her Option and how he or she desires payment be made for such Surrendered Shares.

      8.3     Payment. A Participant in exchange for his or her Surrendered Shares shall receive a payment in cash or in Shares, or in a combination of cash and Shares, equal in amount on the date such surrender is effected to the excess of the Fair Market Value of the Surrendered Shares on such date over the Exercise Price for the Surrendered Shares. The Board, acting in its absolute discretion, can approve or disapprove a Participant’s request for payment in whole or in part in cash and can make that payment in cash or in such combination of cash and Shares as the Board deems appropriate. A request for payment only in Shares shall be approved and made in Shares to the extent payment can be made in whole shares of Shares and (at the Board’s discretion) in cash in lieu of any fractional Shares.

      8.4     Restrictions. Any Stock Incentive Agreement which incorporates a provision to allow a Participant to surrender his or her Option in whole or in part also shall incorporate such additional restrictions on the exercise or surrender of such Option as the Board deems necessary to satisfy the conditions to the exemption under Rule 16b-3 (or any successor exemption) to Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act.

A-8


 

SECTION 9.

SECURITIES REGULATION

      Each Stock Incentive Agreement may provide that, upon the receipt of Shares as a result of the surrender or exercise of a Stock Incentive, the Participant shall, if so requested by the Company, hold such Shares for investment and not with a view of resale or distribution to the public and, if so requested by the Company, shall deliver to the Company a written statement satisfactory to the Company to that effect. Each Stock Incentive Agreement may also provide that, if so requested by the Company, the Participant shall make a written representation to the Company that he or she will not sell or offer to sell any of such Shares unless a registration statement shall be in effect with respect to such Shares under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“1933 Act”), and any applicable state securities law or, unless he or she shall have furnished to the Company an opinion, in form and substance satisfactory to the Company, of legal counsel acceptable to the Company, that such registration is not required. Certificates representing the Shares transferred upon the exercise or surrender of a Stock Incentive granted under this Plan may at the discretion of the Company bear a legend to the effect that such Shares have not been registered under the 1933 Act or any applicable state securities law and that such Shares may not be sold or offered for sale in the absence of an effective registration statement as to such Shares under the 1933 Act and any applicable state securities law or an opinion, in form and substance satisfactory to the Company, of legal counsel acceptable to the Company, that such registration is not required.

SECTION 10.

LIFE OF PLAN

      No Stock Incentive shall be granted under this Plan on or after the earlier of:

        (a) the tenth (10th) anniversary of the effective date of this Plan (as determined under Section 4 of this Plan), in which event this Plan otherwise thereafter shall continue in effect until all outstanding Stock Incentives have been surrendered or exercised in full or no longer are exercisable, or
 
        (b) the date on which all of the Shares reserved under Section 3 of this Plan have (as a result of the surrender or exercise of Stock Incentives granted under this Plan) been issued or no longer are available for use under this Plan, in which event this Plan also shall terminate on such date.

SECTION 11.

ADJUSTMENT

      The number of Shares reserved under Section 3 of this Plan, the limit on the number of Shares which may be granted during a calendar year to any individual under Section 3 of this Plan, the number of Shares subject to Stock Incentives granted under this Plan, and the Exercise Price of any Options, shall be adjusted by the Board in an equitable manner to reflect any change in the capitalization of the Company, including, but not limited to, such changes as stock dividends or stock splits. Furthermore, the Board shall have the right to adjust (in a manner which satisfies the requirements of Code § 424(a)) the number of Shares reserved under Section 3, and the number of Shares subject to Stock Incentives granted under this Plan, and the Exercise Price of any Options in the event of any corporate transaction described in Code § 424(a) which provides for the substitution or assumption of such Stock Incentives. If any adjustment under this Section creates a fractional Share or a right to acquire a fractional Share, such fractional Share shall be disregarded, and the number of Shares reserved under this Plan and the number subject to any Stock Incentives granted under this Plan shall be the next lower number of Shares, rounding all fractions downward. An adjustment made under this Section by the Board shall be conclusive and binding on all affected persons and, further, shall not constitute an increase in the number of Shares reserved under Section 3.

SECTION 12.

SALE OR MERGER OF THE COMPANY

      In the event that the Company undergoes a Change of Control (as defined below), and, within twelve (12) months following such Change of Control, (a) a Participant’s employment (as used in this Section 12, “employment” shall also include providing services as a Director, consultant or advisor) with the Company, a Parent or a Subsidiary (or a successor entity) is terminated by the Company, a Parent or Subsidiary (or a successor entity) for any reason other than Cause (as defined below), or (b) the Participant’s employment terminates by reason of a Constructive Discharge, then the vesting schedule of each outstanding Stock Incentive held by such Participant shall be accelerated by a period of two (2) years, or until such Stock Incentive is fully vested if vesting would occur within such two year period.

      For purposes of this Section 12, a “Change of Control” shall be deemed to occur (I) if the Company agrees to sell or transfer in a single transaction or a series of related transactions (a) 80% or more of its capital stock, or (b) eighty percent (80%) or more of its assets (as reflected on the Company’s most recent audited balance sheet) and substantially all material customer agreements, for cash or property, or for a combination of cash and property, or (II) if the Company agrees to any merger, consolidation, reorganization, division or other transaction (whether in a single transaction or a series of related transactions) in which eighty percent (80%) or more of the Company’s issued and outstanding voting stock is converted into another security or into the right to receive securities or property (except a consolidation or merger into a subsidiary of the Company or merger in which the Company is the surviving corporation and the holders of the Company’s voting stock outstanding immediately prior to the transaction hold at least 19.9% of the voting stock outstanding immediately following the transaction) or (III) upon the sale or transfer, in a single transaction or in a series of related transactions, by the Company’s stockholders to a single entity, person or group (as defined below) of more than 80% in voting power of the Company’s capital stock . A public offering of the Company’s Common Stock in which a registration statement covering such offering is declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission, or a private or public offering of securities by the Company in which no single entity, person or group (as defined below) acquires eighty percent (80%) or more of the voting securities of the Company, shall not be deemed to constitute a Change of Control. When two or more persons act as a partnership, limited partnership, syndicate, or other group for the purpose of acquiring the voting securities of the Company or its successors, such persons shall be deemed to constitute a “group” for purposes of this Section 12.

      For purposes of this Section 12, “Cause” shall mean an act or acts by a Participant involving (a) the use for profit or willful disclosure to unauthorized persons of confidential information or trade secrets of the Company, a Parent or a Subsidiary in violation of company policy or company agreements with such persons protecting such matters, (b) the material and willful breach of any written contract between the holder of the Participant and the Company, a Parent or a Subsidiary, (c) the unlawful trading in the securities of the Company, a Parent or a Subsidiary, or of another corporation based on information gained as a result of the performance of services for the Company, a Parent or a Subsidiary, (d) a felony conviction for or pleading nolo contendre to a felony, or (f) conviction of embezzlement, fraud, or other criminal acts (other than traffic violations and similar misdemeanors).

      For purposes of this Section 12, “Constructive Discharge” means a termination of employment by a Participant within thirty (30) days following notice to the Participant of any of the following:

        (a) Forced Relocation or Transfer. The Participant may continue employment with the Company, a Parent or a Subsidiary (or a successor employer), but such employment is contingent on the Participant being transferred to a site of employment that is located more than fifty (50) miles from the Participant’s current site of employment. For this purpose, a Participant’s site of employment shall be the site of employment to which the Participant is assigned as his or her home base, from which the Participant’s work is assigned, or to which the Participant reports.

        (b) Decrease in Salary or Potential Bonus. The Participant may continue employment with the Company, a Parent or a Subsidiary (or a successor employer), but such employment is contingent upon the Participant’s acceptance of (i) a salary or wage rate which is less than the Participant’s prior salary or wage rate, or (ii) a reduction in the bonus or incentive compensation that the Participant has the opportunity to receive pursuant to a plan or agreement approved by the Board (“Target Bonus”), with Target Bonus defined as a percentage of base salary or base compensation plus any additional performance overachievement component provided pursuant to such plan or agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board shall have the authority on an annual basis to change the performance criteria set forth in any such plan or agreement pursuant to which a Participant’s Target Bonus is determined and such action shall not constitute a “Constructive Discharge.”
 
        (c) Significant and Substantial Reduction in Benefits. The Participant may continue employment with the Company, a Parent or a Subsidiary (or a successor employer), but such employment is contingent upon the Participant’s acceptance of a reduction in the pension, welfare or fringe benefits provided which is both significant and substantial when expressed as a dollar amount or when expressed as a percentage of the Participant’s cash compensation. The determination of whether a reduction in pension, welfare or fringe benefits is significant and substantial shall be made on the basis of all pertinent facts and circumstances, including the entire benefit (pension, welfare and fringe) package provided to the Participant, and any salary or wages paid to the Participant. However, notwithstanding the preceding, any modification or elimination of benefits which results solely from the provision of new benefits to an Participant by a successor employer as a result of a change of the Participant’s employment from employment with the Company, a Parent or a Subsidiary to employment with such successor shall not be deemed a Significant and Substantial Reduction in Benefits where such new benefits are identical to the benefits provided to similarly situated employees of the successor.
 
        (d) Significant Diminution of Duties. Without the Participant’s consent, the Participant’s duties and responsibilities as an employee are significantly reduced or altered such that the Participant’s duties and responsibilities are not comparable in scope or type to the Participant’s duties and responsibilities prior to the Change of Control.
 
        (e) Company’s Breach of Employment Agreement. The Company (or a successor employer) materially breaches the terms of any written employment agreement or comparable agreement that is in place between the Company and the Participant, and the Company fails to remedy such breach following notice of breach from the Participant and a reasonable opportunity to cure.

SECTION 13.

AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION

      This Plan may be amended by the Board from time to time to the extent that the Board deems necessary or appropriate; provided, however, no such amendment shall be made absent the approval of the shareholders of the Company: (a) to increase the number of Shares reserved under Section 3, except as set forth in Section 11, (b) to extend the maximum life of the Plan under Section 10 or the maximum exercise period under Section 7, (c) to decrease the minimum Exercise Price under Section 7, or (d) to change the designation of Employees or Key Persons eligible for Stock Incentives under Section 6. The Board also (1) may suspend the granting of Stock Incentives under this Plan at any time, (2) may terminate this Plan at any time, and (3) may amend any outstanding Stock Incentive previously granted under this Plan at any time (for example, to accelerate the vesting provisions thereof or to extend the term of a Stock Incentive); provided, however, the Board shall not have the right to modify, amend or cancel any Stock Incentive granted under this Plan unless: (I) the Participant consents in writing to such modification, amendment or cancellation, (II) there is a dissolution or liquidation of the Company or a transaction described in Section 11 or Section 12, or (III) the modification, amendment or cancellation would not adversely affect, in any way, the rights of a Participant owning such outstanding Stock Incentive without the written consent of such Participant. To the extent that the material terms (within the meaning

of Treas. Reg. § 1.162-27(e)(4)) of the Plan would be modified by the Board but shareholders approval would not be required by the foregoing provisions of this Section, the Board may, in its sole discretion, nonetheless determine that approval of the shareholders of the Company is desired.

SECTION 14.

MISCELLANEOUS

      14.1     Shareholder Rights. No Participant shall have any rights as a shareholder of the Company as a result of the grant of a Stock Incentive to him or to her under this Plan or his or her exercise or surrender of such Stock Incentive pending the actual delivery of Shares subject to such Stock Incentive to such Participant.

      14.2     No Guarantee of Continued Relationship. The grant of a Stock Incentive to a Participant under this Plan shall not constitute a contract of employment and shall not confer on a Participant any rights upon his or her termination of employment or relationship with the Company in addition to those rights, if any, expressly set forth in the Stock Incentive Agreement which evidences his or her Stock Incentive.

      14.3     Withholding. The Company shall have the power and the right to deduct or withhold, or require a Participant to remit to the Company as a condition precedent for the fulfillment of any Stock Incentive, an amount sufficient to satisfy Federal, state and local taxes, domestic or foreign, required by law or regulation to be withheld with respect to any taxable event arising as a result of this Plan. Whenever Shares are to be issued or cash paid to a Participant upon exercise of an Option, the Company shall have the right to require the Participant to remit to the Company, as a condition of exercise of the Option, an amount sufficient to satisfy federal, state and local withholding tax requirements at the time of exercise. However, notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that a Participant is an Insider, satisfaction of withholding requirements by having the Company withhold Shares may only be made to the extent that such withholding of Shares (1) has met the requirements of an exemption under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act, or (2) is a subsequent transaction the terms of which were provided for in a transaction initially meeting the requirements of an exemption under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act. Unless the Stock Incentive Agreement provides otherwise, the withholding of shares to satisfy federal, state and local withholding tax requirements shall be a subsequent transaction approved by the original grant of a Stock Incentive. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall payment of withholding taxes be made by a retention of Shares by the Company unless the Company retains only Shares with a Fair Market Value equal to the minimum amount of taxes required to be withheld.

      14.4     Notification of Disqualifying Dispositions of ISO Options. If a Participant sells or otherwise disposes of any of the Shares acquired pursuant to an Option which is an ISO on or before the later of (1) the date two (2) years after the date of grant of such Option, or (2) the date one (1) year after the exercise of such Option, then the Participant shall immediately notify the Company in writing of such sale or disposition and shall cooperate with the Company in providing sufficient information to the Company for the Company to properly report such sale or disposition to the Internal Revenue Service. The Participant acknowledges and agrees that he may be subject to income tax withholding by the Company on the compensation income recognized by Participant from any such early disposition by either (or both) his payment to the Company in cash or his payment out of the current wages or earnings otherwise payable to him by the Company, and agrees that he shall include the compensation from such early disposition in his gross income for federal tax purposes. Participant also acknowledges that the Company may condition the exercise of any Option which is an ISO on the Participant’s express written agreement with these provisions of this Plan.

      14.5     Transfer. The transfer of an Employee between or among the Company, a Subsidiary or a Parent shall not be treated as a termination of his or her employment under this Plan.

      14.5     Construction. This Plan shall be construed under the laws of the State of Delaware.
