PROXY STATEMENT FOR
ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
TO BE HELD ON FEBRUARY 28, 2008
 


This Proxy Statement relates to the 2008 Annual Meeting of Stockholders of LiveDeal, Inc. (“LiveDeal” or the “Company”).  The Annual Meeting will be held on February 28, 2008 at 10:00 a.m. local time, at 2240 Village Walk Drive, Building 3, Second Floor, Henderson, Nevada 89052, or at such other time and place to which the Annual Meeting may be adjourned or postponed.  The enclosed proxy is solicited by our Board of Directors.  The proxy materials relating to the Annual Meeting are first being mailed to stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting on or about January __, 2008.

ABOUT THE MEETING

What is the purpose of the Annual Meeting?

At the Annual Meeting, stockholders will act upon the matters outlined in the accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting and this Proxy Statement, including (i) the election of seven directors to our Board; (ii) a proposal to increase the number of shares authorized for issuance under the LiveDeal, Inc. Amended and Restated 2003 Stock Plan (the “2003 Stock Plan”) from 800,000 shares to 1,100,000 shares; and (iii) the ratification of the appointment of our independent registered public accounting firm.  In addition, management will report on our most recent financial and operating results and respond to questions from stockholders.

Who is entitled to attend and vote at the Annual Meeting?

Only stockholders of record at the close of business on the record date, January 7, 2008, or their duly appointed proxies, are entitled to receive notice of the Annual Meeting, attend the meeting and vote the shares that they held on that date at the meeting or any postponement or adjournment of the meeting.  At the close of business on January 7, 2008, there were issued, outstanding and entitled to vote 6,612,366 shares of our common stock, par value $.001 per share, each of which is entitled to one vote.  You may not cumulate votes in the election of directors.

How do I vote?

You may vote on matters to come before the meeting in two ways: (i) you can attend the meeting and cast your vote in person; or (ii) you can vote by completing, signing and dating the enclosed proxy card and returning it to us via mail or facsimile.  If you do so, you will authorize the individuals named on the proxy card, referred to as the proxy holders, to vote your shares according to your instructions or, if you provide no instructions, according to the recommendations of our Board of Directors.

What if I vote and then change my mind?

You may revoke your proxy at any time before it is exercised by either (i) filing with our Corporate Secretary a notice of revocation; (ii) sending in another duly executed proxy bearing a later date; or (iii) attending the meeting and casting your vote in person.  Your last vote will be the vote that is counted.


What are the Board’s recommendations?

Unless you give other instructions on your proxy card, the persons named on the proxy card will vote in accordance with the recommendations of our Board of Directors.  Our Board’s recommendations are set forth together with a description of such items in this Proxy Statement.  In summary, our Board recommends a vote FOR election of the nominated slate of directors; FOR the proposed increase in the number of shares authorized for issuance under our 2003 Stock Plan from 800,000 shares to 1,100,000 shares; and FOR the ratification of our independent registered public accounting firm.

With respect to any other matter that properly comes before the meeting, the proxy holders will vote as recommended by our Board of Directors or, if no recommendation is given, in their own discretion.

What constitutes a quorum?

The presence at the Annual Meeting, in person or by proxy, of the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares on the record date will constitute a quorum, permitting us to conduct our business at the Annual Meeting.  Proxies received but marked as abstentions and broker non-votes (defined below) will be included in the calculation of the number of shares considered to be present at the meeting for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present.

What vote is required to approve each item?

Election of Directors.  Election of a director requires the affirmative votes of the holders of a plurality of the shares for which votes are cast at a meeting at which a quorum is present.  The seven persons receiving the greatest number of votes will be elected as directors.  Since only affirmative votes count for this purpose, a properly executed proxy marked “WITHHOLD AUTHORITY” with respect to the election of one or more directors will not be voted with respect to the director or directors indicated, although it will be counted for purposes of determining whether there is a quorum.  Stockholders may not cumulate votes in the election of directors.

Amendment to our 2003 Stock Plan.  The approval of the proposed amendment to our 2003 Stock Plan will require the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares for which votes are cast at a meeting at which a quorum is present.  A properly executed proxy marked “ABSTAIN” with respect to any such matter will not be voted, although it will be treated as a vote cast and will be counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present.  Accordingly, an abstention will have the effect of a vote against the proposal to amend our 2003 Stock Plan.  Brokers are not entitled to use their discretion to vote uninstructed proxies with respect to approval of the proposed amendment to our 2003 Stock Plan and are not deemed a vote cast.

Ratification of Auditors.  The ratification of the appointment of Mayer Hoffman McCann P.C. as our independent registered public accounting firm will require the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares for which votes are cast at a meeting at which a quorum is present.  A properly executed proxy marked “ABSTAIN” with respect to any such matter will not be voted, although it will be treated as a vote cast and will be counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present.  Accordingly, an abstention will have the effect of a negative vote.  Brokers are entitled to use their discretion to vote uninstructed proxies with respect to ratification of our independent auditors.


Effect of Broker Non-Votes.  If your shares are held by your broker in “street name,” you are receiving a voting instruction form from your broker or the broker’s agent asking you how your shares should be voted.  Please complete the form and return it in the envelope provided by the broker or agent.  No postage is necessary if mailed in the United States.  If you do not instruct your broker how to vote, your broker may vote your shares at its discretion or, on some matters, may not be permitted to exercise voting discretion.  Votes that could have been cast on the matter in question if the brokers have received their customers’ instructions, and as to which the broker has notified us on a proxy form in accordance with industry practice or has otherwise advised us that it lacks voting authority, are referred to as “broker non-votes.”  Thus, if you do not give your broker or nominee specific instructions, your shares may not be voted on those matters and will not be counted as a vote cast in determining the number of shares necessary for approval.  Shares represented by such “broker non-votes,” however, will be counted in determining whether there is a quorum.

Can I dissent or exercise rights of appraisal?

Under Nevada law, holders of our voting stock are not entitled to dissent from any of the proposals to be presented at the Annual Meeting or to demand appraisal of their shares as a result of the approval of any of the proposals.

Who pays for this proxy solicitation?

The Company will bear the entire cost of this proxy solicitation, including the preparation, assembly, printing, and mailing of this Proxy Statement, the proxy card and any additional solicitation materials furnished to the stockholders.  Copies of solicitation materials will be furnished to brokerage houses, fiduciaries and custodians holding shares in their names that are beneficially owned by others so that they may forward the solicitation material to such beneficial owners.


ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
(Proposal No. 1)

General

Our Board of Directors is currently comprised of seven directors, each of whom is elected annually.  Accordingly, stockholders will elect seven directors at the Annual Meeting.  Each director is to be elected to hold office until the next annual meeting of stockholders or until his successor is elected and qualified.  If a director resigns or otherwise is unable to complete his term of office, the Board may elect another director for the remainder of the departing director’s term.

The Board has no reason to believe that the nominees will not serve if elected, but if they should become unavailable to serve as a director, and if the Board designates a substitute nominee, the persons named as proxies will vote for the substitute nominee designated by our Board.

What committees has the Board established?

Our Board of Directors has a Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee, a Compensation Committee, and an Audit Committee.

Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee.  The purpose of the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee is to (a) identify individuals who are qualified to become members of our Board of Directors, consistent with criteria approved by the Board, and to select, or to recommend that the Board select, the director nominees for the next annual meeting of stockholders or to fill vacancies on the board; (ii) develop and recommend to the Board a set of corporate governance principles applicable to our Company; and (iii) oversee the evaluation of the Board and our Company’s management.  Messrs. Cunningham, Butler and Milk currently serve on the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee.  Each member of the committee satisfies the independence standards specified in Rule 4200(a)(15) of the NASDAQ Marketplace Rules and the related rules of the SEC.  Our Board of Directors has adopted a charter for the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee, a copy of which is posted on our website at www.livedeal.com.  The committee met two times during fiscal 2007.

Compensation Committee.  The purpose of the Compensation Committee is to discharge the Board’s responsibilities relating to compensation of the Company’s directors and executives, to produce an annual report on executive compensation for inclusion in the Company’s proxy statement, as necessary, and to oversee and advise the Board on the adoption of policies that govern the Company’s compensation programs including stock and benefit plans.  Messrs. Cunningham, Butler and Milk currently serve on the Compensation Committee, which is chaired by Mr. Butler.  Each member of the committee satisfies the independence standards specified in Rule 4200(a)(15) of the NASDAQ Marketplace Rules and the related rules of the SEC.  Our Board of Directors has adopted a charter for the Compensation Committee, a copy of which is posted on our website at www.livedeal.com.  The committee met one time during fiscal 2007.


Audit Committee.  The purpose of the Audit Committee is to assist our Board of Directors in overseeing (i) the integrity of our Company’s accounting and financial reporting processes, the audits of our financial statements, as well as our systems of internal controls regarding finance, accounting, and legal compliance; (ii) our Company’s compliance with legal and regulatory requirements; (iii) the qualifications, independence and performance of our independent public accountants; (iv) our Company’s financial risk; and (v) our Company’s internal audit function.  In carrying out this purpose, the Audit Committee maintains and facilitates free and open communication between the Board, the independent public accountants, and our management.  Messrs. Cunningham, Butler and Milk currently serve on the Audit Committee.  Each member of the committee satisfies the independence standards specified in Rule 4200(a)(15) of the NASDAQ Marketplace Rules and the related rules of the SEC.  Mr. Cunningham serves as the committee’s chairman and is the “audit committee financial expert” as defined under Item 401(h) of Regulation S-K.  Our Audit Committee reports its findings directly to the full Board.  Our Board of Directors has adopted a charter for the Audit Committee, a copy of which is posted on our website at www.livedeal.com.  The Audit Committee met one time during fiscal 2007.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation.  There were no interlocking relationships between our Company and other entities that might affect the determination of the compensation of our executive officers.

What are the procedures of the Governance and Nominating Committee in making nominations?

The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee will establish and periodically reevaluate the criteria and qualifications for board membership and the selection of candidates to serve as directors of our Company.  In determining whether to nominate a candidate for director, the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee will consider the candidate’s independence standards, experience relevant to the needs of our Company, leadership qualities, diversity, and the ability to represent our stockholders.  The committee, if it so chooses, has the authority to retain a search firm to identify director candidates and to approve any fees and retention terms of the search firm’s engagement.

The committee shall formulate a process to identify candidates for nomination or to be recommended to the Board for nomination as directors.  The process, at a minimum, shall

 
·
reflect the minimum qualifications that in the view of the committee are required for membership on the board;

 
·
reflect any additional qualifications that in the view of the Committee are required of one or more members of the board;

 
·
provide for the consideration of the qualifications, performance, and contributions of incumbent board members who consent to re-election;

 
·
provide for the identification and evaluation of potential nominees for positions for which the Committee does not select qualified incumbents for re-election; and

·
provide for appropriate documentation of the nominations process.

Our Board of Directors is of the view that the continuing service of qualified incumbents promotes stability and continuity in the boardroom, giving our Company the benefit of the familiarity and insight into our Company’s affairs that its directors have accumulated during their tenure, while contributing to the Board’s ability to work as a collective body.  Accordingly, the process of the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee for identifying nominees reflects the practice of re-nominating incumbent directors who continue to satisfy the committee’s criteria for membership on the Board, who the committee believes will continue to make important contributions to the Board, and who consent to continue their service on the Board.


What are our policies and procedures with respect to director candidates who are nominated by security holders?

The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee shall formulate and recommend for adoption to the full Board a policy regarding consideration of nominees for election to the Board who are recommended by security holders of the Company.  The policy shall state at a minimum that the committee will consider candidates nominated by stockholders of the Company.  The policy shall contain any other elements that the committee deems appropriate.  These elements may include requirements relating to minimum share ownership of recommending security holder; qualifications of recommended candidates; and compliance with procedures for submission of recommendations.

The committee shall adopt procedures for the submission to the committee of stockholder recommendations of nominees for election to the Board, consistent with the policy adopted by the Board.  These procedures, at a minimum, shall include requirements and specifications relating to the following:

 
·
the timing for the submission of recommendations;

 
·
the manner of submission of recommendations;

 
·
information required to be provided concerning the recommending security holder;

 
·
information required to be provided concerning proposed nominee;

 
·
the consent of the proposed nominee to be contacted and interviewed by the committee;

 
·
and the consent of the proposed nominee to serve if nominated and elected.

What is our policy on director attendance at our Annual Meetings?

The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee of the Board of Directors shall formulate and recommend to the Board for adoption a policy regarding attendance of directors at annual meetings of the Company's stockholders.  The policy may provide for attendance of directors by appropriate means of electronic conferencing.

All of our directors attended our 2007 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.  All current directors anticipate attending the 2008 Annual Meeting.

How can investors communicate with the Board of Directors?

Stockholders and other parties interested in communicating with the Board of Directors may do so by writing to Board of Directors, LiveDeal, Inc., 4840 East Jasmine Street, Suite 105, Mesa, Arizona 85205-3321.


Does the Company have a code of ethics?

We have adopted a code of ethics that applies to all directors, officers, and employees of our Company, including the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer.  We have filed our code of ethics as an exhibit to our quarterly report on Form 10-QSB for the period ended March 31, 2004.  In addition, our code of ethics is posted under “Investor Relations” on our Internet website at www.livedeal.com.  We will mail a copy of our code of ethics at no charge upon request submitted to LiveDeal, Inc., Attention: Investor Relations, 4840 East Jasmine Street, Suite 105, Mesa, Arizona, 85205.  If we make any amendment to, or grant any waivers of, a provision of the code of ethics that applies to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller where such amendment or waiver is required to be disclosed under applicable SEC rules, we intend to disclose such amendment or waiver and the reasons therefor on Form 8-K or on our Internet website at www.livedeal.com.


PROPOSAL TO AMEND OUR
2003 STOCK PLAN
(Proposal No. 2)

General Information

At the 2008 Annual Meeting there will be presented to stockholders a proposal to approve an amendment to our 2003 Stock Plan, which would increase the number of shares authorized for issuance under the 2003 Stock Plan from 800,000 to 1,100,000.  As of January 7, 2008, 173,743 shares remained available for future grants under the 2003 Stock Plan.  On January 14, 2008, the Board of Directors, acting as the Plan Committee, unanimously approved the proposed amendment subject to stockholder approval at the Annual Meeting.  The amendment to the 2003 Stock Plan increasing the number of shares authorized for issuance will not be effective unless and until stockholder approval is obtained.

The Board of Directors believes that the Company’s ability to grant awards under the 2003 Stock Plan, and under the amended 2003 Stock Plan, will promote the success and enhance the value of the Company by linking the personal interest of participants to those of the Company’s stockholders and by providing participants with an incentive for outstanding performance.  The Board of Directors believes that the 2003 Stock Plan helps the Company attract, retain and motivate employees, officers and directors.  In addition, the Board of Directors believes the proposed increase in the number of shares available for issuance under the 2003 Stock Plan is appropriate in light of the fact that the Company has repurchased or otherwise retired approximately 300,000 shares of its common stock in recent months.  The resulting decrease in the number of shares of our common stock that are issued and outstanding will mitigate any dilutive impact on current stockholders that this proposal would otherwise have.  For those reasons, the Board of Directors believes that an increase in the number of shares available for issuance in future years, as proposed, is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.

The 2003 Stock Plan provides for the granting of restricted stock, performance share awards and performance-based awards to eligible individuals.  A summary of the principal provisions of the 2003 Stock Plan, as amended, is set forth below.  The summary is qualified by reference to the full text of the 2003 Stock Plan, which is included as Appendix A to this Proxy Statement.

Administration

The 2003 Stock Plan is to be administered by a committee of the Board of Directors (the “Committee”).  If the Board does not appoint a Committee, the 2003 Stock Plan is to be administered by the Board of Directors and all references in the 2003 Stock Plan to the Committee shall refer to the Board.  The Committee shall have the exclusive authority to administer the 2003 Stock Plan, including the power to determine eligibility; the types and sizes of awards; the price and timing of awards; and any schedule for lapse of forfeiture restrictions or restrictions on the exercisability of an award, and accelerations or waivers thereof.


Eligibility

Persons eligible to participate in the 2003 Stock Plan include all employee and non-employee service providers of the Company or any subsidiary, as determined by the Committee.

Limitation on Awards and Shares Available

An aggregate of 1,100,000 shares of our common stock would be available for grant under the 2003 Stock Plan, as amended (of which, 626,257 shares have been granted).  The maximum number of shares of common stock payable in the form of performance-based awards to any one participant for a performance period is 100,000 shares, or in the event the performance-based award is paid in cash, the maximum is determined by multiplying 100,000 by the fair market value of one share of stock as of the date of grant of the performance-based award.

Awards

The 2003 Stock Plan provides for the grant of restricted stock, performance shares and performance-based awards.  No determination has been made as to the types or amounts of awards that will be granted to specific individuals under the 2003 Stock Plan.

A restricted stock award is the grant of shares of common stock at a price determined by the Committee (including zero), that is nontransferable and subject to substantial risk of forfeiture until specific conditions are met.  Conditions may be based on continuing employment or achieving performance goals.  During the period of restriction, participants holding shares of restricted stock may have full voting and dividend rights with respect to such shares. The restrictions will lapse in accordance with a schedule or other conditions determined by the Committee.  A grant of performance shares gives the recipient rights that are valued and payable to or exercisable by the recipient as established by the Committee upon the grant or thereafter.

Grants of performance-based awards under the 2003 Stock Plan enable the Committee to treat restricted stock awards and performance share awards granted under the 2003 Stock Plan as “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and preserve the deductibility of these awards for federal income tax purposes.  Because Section 162(m) of the Code only applies to those employees who are “covered employees,” as defined in Section 162(m) of the Code, only individuals who are, or could be, covered employees are eligible to receive performance-based awards.

Participants are only entitled to receive payment for a performance-based award for any given performance period to the extent that pre-established performance goals set by the Committee for the period are satisfied.  These pre-established performance goals must be based on one or more of the following performance criteria: pre- or after-tax net earnings, sales or revenue, operating earnings, operating cash flow, return on net assets, return on shareholders’ equity, return on assets, return on capital, shareholder returns, gross or net profit margin, earnings per share, price per share, and market share.  These performance criteria may be measured in absolute terms or as compared to any incremental increase or as compared to results of a peer group.  With regard to a particular performance period, the Committee shall have the discretion to select the length of the performance period, the type of performance-based awards to be granted, and the goals that will be used to measure the performance for the period.  In determining the actual size of an individual performance-based award for a performance period, the Committee may reduce or eliminate (but not increase) the award.  Generally, a participant will have to be employed on the date the performance-based award is paid to be eligible for a performance-based award for that period.


Amendment and Termination

The Committee, subject to approval of the Board of Directors, may terminate, amend, or modify the 2003 Stock Plan at any time; provided, however, that stockholder approval must be obtained for any amendment to the extent necessary to comply with any applicable law, regulation or stock exchange rule.

Federal Income Tax Consequences

A participant receiving restricted stock, performance shares or performance-based awards will not recognize taxable income at the time of grant.  At the time the restrictions lapse, the participant will recognize ordinary taxable income in an amount equal to the difference between the amount paid for such award and fair market value of the stock or amount received on the date of the lapse of restriction.  The Company will be entitled to a concurrent deduction equal to the ordinary income recognized by the participant.

Vote Required for Approval of Amendment

Approval of the amendment to the 2003 Stock Plan requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares for which votes are cast, in person or by valid proxy, at a meeting at which a quorum is present.

Our Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR the proposal to amend our 2003 Stock Plan to increase the number of shares eligible for grant under the 2003 Stock Plan from
800,000 shares to 1,100,000 shares.


RATIFICATION OF OUR INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
(Proposal No. 3)

Audit Committee Appointment – Mayer Hoffman McCann P.C.

Our Audit Committee, pursuant to authority granted to it by our Board of Directors, has selected Mayer Hoffman McCann P.C., certified public accountants, as independent auditors to examine our annual consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2008.  Our Board is submitting this proposal to the vote of the stockholders in order to ratify the Audit Committee’s selection.  If stockholders do not ratify the selection of Mayer Hoffman McCann P.C., the Audit Committee will reconsider its selection of our independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal 2008 although the Audit Committee will be under no obligation to change its selection.

Former Engagement of Epstein, Weber & Conover, P.L.C. and Moss Adams LLP

Our annual consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2007 were audited by Mayer Hoffman McCann P.C.  Our annual consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ending September 30, 2006 and 2005 were audited by Moss Adams LLP (“Moss Adams”).  Effective March 29, 2007, the Company dismissed Moss Adams as its independent registered public accounting firm.  Also on March 29, 2007, the Company engaged Mayer Hoffman McCann P.C. to replace Moss Adams.  Both actions were approved by the Audit Committee.


Moss Adams became the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm when it combined with the Company’s previous independent public accountant, Epstein, Weber & Conover, P.L.C. (“EWC”), effective January 1, 2007.  As such, Moss Adams was only involved in reviewing the Company’s financial statements for its fiscal quarter ended on December 31, 2006.  The reports issued by EWC with respect to the Company’s financial statements for the past two fiscal years, which ended on September 30, 2005 and September 30, 2006, respectively, did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

During the fiscal years ended September 30, 2005 and September 30, 2006 (during which time EWC was the Company’s independent public accountant) and the subsequent interim period preceding the Company’s dismissal of Moss Adams (during which time Moss Adams was the Company’s independent public accountant), there were no disagreements between the Company and EWC or Moss Adams on any matters relating to accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure.  In addition, there were no “reportable events” as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K during such periods.

During the fiscal years ended September 30, 2005 and September 30, 2006 and the subsequent interim period preceding the Company’s engagement of Mayer Hoffman McCann P.C., neither the Company nor anyone on its behalf consulted MHM regarding (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered by Mayer Hoffman McCann P.C. with respect to the Company’s financial statements; or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement between the Company and Moss Adams or a “reportable event” as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

Audit and Other Fees

We have paid or expect to pay the following fees to our independent registered public accounting firm for work performed in 2007 and 2006 or attributable to the audit of our 2007 and 2006 consolidated financial statements:

   
2007
   
2006
 
Audit Fees
  $ 135,150     $ 80,035  
Audit-Related Fees
    73,500       0  
Tax Fees
    16,800       0  
All Other Fees
    2,500       0  
Total
    227,950       80,035  

Each year, the Audit Committee approves the annual audit engagement in advance.  The Audit Committee also has established procedures to pre-approve all non-audit services provided by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.  All 2007 and 2006 non-audit services listed above were pre-approved.

Audit Fees:  This category includes the audit of our annual financial statements and review of financial statements included in our annual and period reports that are filed with the SEC, the audit of internal control over financial reporting and services that are normally provided by the independent registered public accounting firm in connection with regulatory filings or engagements for those fiscal years.  This category also includes advice on audit and accounting matters that arose during, or as a result of, the audit or the review of interim financial statements, and the preparation of an annual “management letter” on internal control and other matters.  In fiscal 2007, the Company paid $64,400 to EWC; $23,250 to Moss Adams; and $47,500 to Mayer Hoffmann McCann P.C. for audit fees.


Audit-Related Fees:  This category consists of assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of our financial statements and are not reported above under “Audit Fees.”  In fiscal 2007, these fees included the payment of $73,500 to Mayer Hoffman McCann P.C. for services that it rendered in connection with the Company’s acquisition of LiveDeal, Inc. (California).

Tax Fees:  This category consists of professional services rendered by Mayer Hoffman McCann P.C. for tax compliance and tax advice in fiscal 2007.  The services for the fees disclosed under this category include technical tax advice.

All Other Fees:  These fees were related to the Company’s transition from Moss Adams to Mayer Hoffman McCann P.C.

Attendance of Mayer Hoffman McCann P.C. at 2008 Annual Meeting

Representatives of Mayer Hoffman McCann P.C. are expected to be present at the Annual Meeting.  The representatives will have the opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so and will be available to respond to appropriate questions.

Vote Required to Ratify Appointment of Mayer Hoffman McCann P.C.

The affirmative vote of a majority of the shares for which votes are cast, in person or by valid proxy, at the Annual Meeting is required to ratify the selection of Mayer Hoffmann McCann P.C. as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal 2008.  An abstention counts as a vote cast and, therefore, effectively counts as a vote against this proposal.

Our Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR ratification of
Mayer Hoffman McCann P.C.
as our independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal 2008.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Overview

The purpose of this Compensation Discussion and Analysis (“CD&A”) is to provide material information about the Company’s compensation philosophy, objectives and other relevant policies and to explain and put into context the material elements of the disclosure that follows in this Proxy Statement with respect to the compensation of our Named Executive Officers.  For fiscal 2007, the Company’s Named Executive Officers were:

Daniel L. Coury, Sr., Chief Executive Officer;
Rajesh Navar, President;
Gary L. Perschbacher, Chief Financial Officer; and
John Raven, Chief Operating Officer.

The Compensation Committee

The Compensation Committee annually reviews the performance and compensation of the Chief Executive Officer and the Company’s other executive officers.  Additionally, the Compensation Committee reviews compensation of outside directors for service on the Board and for service on committees of the Board, and administers the Company’s stock plans.

Role of Executives in Determining Executive Compensation

The Chief Executive Officer provides input to the Compensation Committee regarding the performance of the other Named Executive Officers and offers recommendations regarding their compensation packages in light of such performance.  The Compensation Committee is ultimately responsible, however, for determining the compensation of the Named Executive Officers, including the Chief Executive Officer.

Compensation Philosophy and Objectives

The Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors believe that the Company’s compensation programs for its executive officers should reflect the Company’s performance and the value created for its stockholders.  In addition, we believe the compensation programs should support the goals and values of the Company and should reward individual contributions to the Company’s success.  Specifically, the Company’s executive compensation program is intended to:

 
·
attract and retain the highest caliber executive officers;
 
·
drive achievement of business strategies and goals;
 
·
motivate performance in an entrepreneurial, incentive-driven culture;
 
·
closely align the interests of executive officers with the interests of the Company’s stockholders;
 
·
promote and maintain high ethical standards and business practices; and
 
·
reward results and the creation of stockholder value.


Factors Considered in Determining Compensation; Components of Compensation

The Compensation Committee makes executive compensation decisions on the basis of total compensation, rather than on separate freestanding components.  We attempt to create an integrated total compensation program structured to balance both short and long-term financial and strategic goals.  Our compensation should be competitive enough to attract and retain highly skilled individuals.  In this regard, we utilize a combination of between two to four of the following types of compensation to compensate our executive officers:

 
·
base salary, which increases by 10% each year during the term of their employment agreement;
 
·
performance bonuses, which may be earned annually depending on the Company’s achievement of pre-established goals;
 
·
cash bonuses given at the discretion of the Board; and
 
·
equity compensation, consisting of restricted stock.

The Compensation Committee periodically reviews each executive officer’s base salary and makes appropriate recommendations to the Board of Directors.  Salaries are based on the following factors:

 
·
the Company’s performance for the prior fiscal years and subjective evaluation of each executive’s contribution to that performance;
 
·
the performance of the particular executive in relation to established goals or strategic plans; and
 
·
competitive levels of compensation for executive positions based on information drawn from compensation surveys and other relevant information.

Performance bonuses and equity compensation are awarded based upon the recommendation of the Compensation Committee.  Restricted stock is generally granted annually under the 2003 Stock Plan and is priced at 100% of the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant.  These grants are made with a view to linking executives’ compensation to the long-term financial success of the Company.

Use of Benchmarking and Compensation Peer Groups

The Compensation Committee did not utilize any benchmarking measure in fiscal 2007 and traditionally has not tied compensation directly to a specific profitability measurement, market value of the Company’s common stock or benchmark related to any established peer or industry group.  Salary increases are based on the terms of the Named Executive Officers’ employment agreements and correlated with the Board’s and the Compensation Committee’s assessment of each Named Executive Officer’s performance.  The Company also generally seeks to increase or decrease compensation, as appropriate, based upon changes in an executive officer’s functional responsibilities within the Company.

Compensation of Chief Executive Officer

As Chief Executive Officer of the Company, Mr. Coury’s compensation is based on his employment agreement with the Company, which provides for a minimum base salary, the minimum benefits to which he is entitled under the compensation plans available to the Company’s senior executive officers and payments or other benefits he is entitled to receive upon termination of his employment.  Mr. Coury’s employment agreement, as described more fully below, was entered into on September 19, 2006, shortly before the end of fiscal 2006.  Prior to that time, Mr. Coury acted as the interim Chief Executive Officer.


The Compensation Committee determined the amount of Mr. Coury’s base salary and the number of restricted stock shares to be awarded to him in fiscal 2007 after considering the competitive levels of compensation for chief executive officers managing companies of similar size, complexity and performance level, current trends in the Company’s growth, Mr. Coury’s contributions to the Company’s business success in fiscal 2007 and the conclusion that Mr. Coury has the vision and executive capabilities to continue to lead the growth of the Company.

Other Compensation Policies and Considerations

The intention of the Company has been to compensate the Named Executive Officers in a manner that maximizes the Company’s ability to deduct such compensation expenses for federal income tax purposes.  However, the Compensation Committee has the discretion to provide compensation that is not “performance-based” under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code it determines that such compensation is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.  For fiscal 2007 the Company expects to deduct all compensation expenses paid to the Named Executive Officers.

SEVERANCE AND CHANGE IN CONTROL PAYMENTS

As discussed elsewhere in this Proxy Statement, we have employment agreements with certain of our Named Executive Officers that provide severance benefits to the Named Executive Officers upon termination following a change in control or without cause.  In the table below, we summarize the estimated payments that will be made to each of our current Named Executive Officers upon a termination of employment without cause or in connection with a change in control of LiveDeal.  The major assumptions that we used in creating the table are set forth directly below.  The table includes an estimate of the compensation that would accrue for each executive if the triggering event occurred on September 30, 2007 (LiveDeal’s fiscal year-end) and, unless otherwise noted, is based on each executive’s compensation on that date.  Calculations requiring a per share stock price are made on the basis of the closing price of $6.99 per share of our common stock on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board on September 28, 2007.

Change in Control

No cash payment will be made solely because of a Change in Control (as that term is defined in the 2003 Stock Plan).  For each current Named Executive Officer, the cash payments described under the table heading “Change in Control” will be triggered upon a termination in connection with a Change in Control.

Acceleration upon a Change in Control

Under the 2003 Stock Plan, the committee administering the plan and/or the Board has the discretion to remove all restrictions on restricted stock awards that remain outstanding at the time of any Change in Control.  For purposes of the “Restricted Stock Award” column, we have assumed the acceleration of the restricted stock awards for Messrs. Coury, Perschbacher and Raven.

Medical and Other Benefits

The table below does not discuss certain medical, disability or outplacement services benefits that may be payable on termination to our current Named Executive Officers.  We also do not include any amounts payable on termination that are generally available to all employees on a non-discriminatory basis.  In addition, this table does not include specific treatment of a normal retirement.

Release

The payment of the severance benefits summarized below is subject to the current Named Executive Officers signing a general release acceptable to LiveDeal in order for such severance benefits to take effect.

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS

Daniel L. Coury, Sr.

On September 19, 2006, we entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Coury, which provides for his service as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer.  Pursuant to his employment agreement, Mr. Coury will receive a base salary of $420,000, plus 10% annual salary increases, beginning with the Company’s fiscal year ending September 30, 2008; an annual bonus of $150,000, provided the Company obtains certain performance measures as established by the Company’s Board of Directors; a one time bonus of $150,000 if and when the common stock of the Company is listed on a national exchange; and a grant of 10,000 shares of restricted stock of the Company (“Restricted Shares”), which vest upon the earlier to occur of three years or a “change of control” (as defined in the Company’s 2003 Stock Plan); provided, however, that Mr. Coury is obligated to return one-third of the Restricted Shares at the end of each fiscal year unless certain performance targets are reached for that fiscal year.

Additionally, in the event that Mr. Coury terminates his employment for “good reason” or the Company terminates his employment other than for “Cause” or on account of his death or “disability,” as each of those terms is defined in the employment agreement, Mr. Coury will receive 12 months of continuing salary, and all restricted stock granted to the employee prior to the employment agreement and the portion of the Restricted Shares that remain unvested and for which the annual risk of forfeiture has lapsed due to annual performance targets being achieved will be immediately accelerated.


Rajesh Navar

In connection with the Company’s acquisition of LiveDeal, Inc. on June 6, 2007, the Company entered into a three-year employment agreement with Mr. Navar.  The agreement provides for a base salary of $300,000 per year plus participation in the Company’s health, disability and dental benefits, insurance programs, pension and retirement plans, and all other employee benefit and compensation arrangements available to other senior officers of the Company.  Commencing in the second year, Mr. Navar’s annual salary will be increased on an annual basis at a rate of at least 10% of the preceding year’s annual salary.  The Company will also reimburse Mr. Navar for all business expenses incurred by him in connection with his employment with the Company.

The agreement also provides that, if Mr. Navar’s employment is terminated as a result of his death, disability, for Cause (as defined in the agreement), the agreement otherwise expires, or for any reason other than Good Reason (as defined in the agreement), Mr. Navar or his estate, conservator or designated beneficiary, as the case may be, will be entitled to payment of any earned but unpaid annual salary for the year in which Mr. Navar’s employment is terminated through the date of termination, as well as any accrued but unused vacation, reimbursement of expenses, and vested benefits to which Mr. Navar is entitled in accordance with the terms of each applicable benefit plan.  In the event Mr. Navar’s employment is terminated for any other reason or if Mr. Navar terminates his own employment for Good Reason on or before the expiration of the Agreement, and provided that Mr. Navar executes a valid release of any and all claims that Mr. Navar may have relating to his employment against the Company, Mr. Navar will be entitled to receive any earned but unpaid annual salary for the year, any accrued but unused vacation, reimbursement of expenses and vested benefits to which Mr. Navar is entitled in accordance with the terms of each applicable benefit plan, plus a lump sum amount equal to three months of annual salary that Mr. Navar would receive under the agreement if his employment with the Company had not been terminated.

In addition, in the event Mr. Navar’s employment is terminated as a result of his death, Mr. Navar’s estate, conservator or designated beneficiary, as the case may be, will be entitled to receive, in addition to Mr. Navar’s accrued salary and benefits through the date of death, a lump sum payment equivalent to three months of Mr. Navar’s annual salary in effect at the time of death.

Gary L. Perschbacher

Includes the 2003 Stock Plan.
(2)
This number represents the number of shares of restricted stock that have been granted to eligible participants under our 2003 Stock Plan.
(3)
This number represents shares of restricted stock that were granted to Peter J. Bergmann, our former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, pursuant to a restricted stock agreement dated June 6, 2004, as reduced per the terms of his Separation Agreement, dated November 3, 2005. These shares were not granted under our 2003 Stock Plan. These shares of restricted stock vest in accordance with a performance-based vesting schedule. As of September 30, 2007, all 60,000 of these shares were vested.


2003 Stock Plan

During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2002, our stockholders approved the 2002 Employees, Officers & Directors Stock Option Plan (the “2002 Plan”), which was intended to replace our 1998 Stock Option Plan (the “1998 Plan”).  The 2002 Plan was never implemented, however, and no options, shares or any other securities were issued or granted under the 2002 Plan.  There were 300,000 shares of our common stock authorized for issuance under the 2002 Plan.  On June 30, 2003 and July 21, 2003, respectively, our Board of Directors and a majority of our stockholders terminated both the 1998 Plan and the 2002 Plan and approved our 2003 Stock Plan.  The 300,000 shares of common stock previously allocated to the 2002 Plan were re-allocated to the 2003 Stock Plan.

In April 2004, our stockholders and our Board of Directors approved an amendment to the 2003 Stock Plan to increase the aggregate number of shares available there under by 200,000 shares in order to have an adequate number of shares available for future grants.  At the 2007 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, an amendment was approved that increased the aggregate number of shares available for issuance under the 2003 Stock Plan to 800,000 shares.  Subject to the approval of Proposal 2 discussed elsewhere in this Proxy Statement, the number of shares available for issuance will be increased by another 300,000 shares, to 1,100,000 shares in the aggregate.


The following Compensation Committee report does not constitute soliciting material and should not be deemed filed or incorporated by reference into any Company filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), except to the extent the intention to do so is expressed indicated.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT

The Compensation Committee has reviewed and discussed with management the Compensation Discussion and Analysis required by Item 402(b) of Regulation S-K and, based on such review and discussions, the Compensation Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in this Proxy Statement.

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT

The SEC rules require us to include in our Proxy Statement a report from the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors.  The following report concerns the Audit Committee’s activities regarding oversight of our financial reporting and auditing process and does not constitute soliciting material and should not be deemed filed or incorporated by reference into any other filing that we make under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, except to the extent we specifically incorporate this report in such filings.


It is the duty of the Audit Committee to provide independent, objective oversight of our accounting functions and internal controls.  The Audit Committee acts under a written charter that sets forth the audit-related functions we are expected to perform.  Our functions are to:

 
·
serve as an independent and objective party to monitor LiveDeal, Inc.’s financial reporting process and system of internal control structure;

 
·
review and appraise the audit efforts of LiveDeal, Inc.’s independent registered public accounting firm; and

 
·
provide an open avenue of communication among the independent auditors, financial and senior management, and the Board of Directors.

We meet with management periodically to consider the adequacy of the Company’s internal controls and the objectivity of its financial reporting.  We discuss these matters with the Company’s independent auditors and with appropriate financial personnel.  We regularly meet privately with the independent auditors, who have unrestricted access to the Audit Committee.  We also recommend to the Board the appointment of the independent auditors and review periodically their performance and independence from management.  Toward that end, we have considered whether the non-audit related services provided by LiveDeal, Inc.’s independent auditors are compatible with their independence.  In addition, we review our financing plans and report recommendations to the full Board for approval and to authorize action.

Management of LiveDeal, Inc. has primary responsibility for the Company’s financial statements and the overall reporting process, including its system of internal control structure.  The independent auditors (a) audit the annual financial statements prepared by management, (b) express an opinion as to whether those financial statements fairly present LiveDeal, Inc.’s financial position, results of operations, and cash flows in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, and (c) discuss with the Company any issues they believe should be raised.  Our responsibility is to monitor and review these processes.

It is not our duty or responsibility to conduct auditing or accounting reviews or procedures.  We are not employees of LiveDeal, Inc. while serving on the Audit Committee.  We are not and we may not represent ourselves to be or to serve as accountants or auditors by profession or experts in the fields of accounting and auditing.  Therefore, we have relied, without independent verification; 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 LiveDeal, Inc.’s consolidated financial statements.  Our oversight does not provide us 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, our considerations and discussions with management and the independent auditors do not assure that the Company’s consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, that the audit of the Company’s consolidated financial statements has been carried out in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards or that LiveDeal, Inc.’s independent accountants are, in fact, “independent.”

This year, we reviewed LiveDeal, Inc.’s audited consolidated financial statements and met with both management and Mayer Hoffman McCann P.C., LiveDeal, Inc.’s independent auditors, to discuss those consolidated financial statements.  Management has represented to us that the consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  We have received from and discussed with Mayer Hoffman McCann P.C. 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 LiveDeal, Inc.  We also discussed with Mayer Hoffman McCann P.C. any matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61 (Communication with Audit Committees), as amended by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 89 and No. 90.


Based on these reviews and discussions, we recommended to the Board that LiveDeal, Inc.’s audited consolidated financial statements should be included in LiveDeal, Inc.’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2007.

SECTION 16(A) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires our executive officers, directors, and persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class of our equity securities to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

Based solely on our review of the copies of such forms filed with the SEC and on written representations that no other reports were required, all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to our directors, executive officers and our ten percent or greater stockholders were complied with during the fiscal year that ended September 30, 2007, with the exception of the Form 3 that was required to be filed by Mr. Evans upon his election to our Board of Directors.


STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS AND NOMINATIONS

To be considered for inclusion in our proxy materials relating to our 2009 Annual Meeting, stockholder proposals must be received at our principal executive offices by September 28, 2008, which is 120 calendar days prior to the anniversary of the mailing date for this year’s proxy materials.  Any notice of a stockholder proposal submitted outside of the process prescribed by Rule 14a-8 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 after September 28, 2008 will be considered untimely.  All stockholder proposals must be in compliance with applicable laws and regulations in order to be considered for possible inclusion in the proxy statement and form of proxy for the 2009 Annual Meeting.

ELECTRONIC DELIVERY OF FUTURE ANNUAL MEETING MATERIALS

We are offering our stockholders the opportunity to consent to receive our future proxy materials and annual reports electronically by providing the appropriate information when voting via the Internet.  Electronic delivery could save us a significant portion of the costs associated with printing and mailing Annual Meeting materials, and we hope that our stockholders find this service convenient and useful.  If you consent and we elect to deliver future proxy materials and/or annual reports to you electronically, then we will send you a notice (either by electronic mail or regular mail) explaining how to access these materials but will not send you paper copies of these materials unless you request them.  We may also choose to send one or more items to you in paper form despite your consent to receive them electronically.  Your consent will be effective until you revoke it by terminating your registration at the website www.investor delivery.com if you hold shares at a brokerage firm or bank participating in the ADP program, or by contacting our transfer agent, Registrar and Transfer Company, if you hold shares in your own name.

By consenting to electronic delivery, you are stating to us that you currently have access to the Internet and expect to have access in the future.  If you do not have access to the Internet, or do not expect to have access in the future, please do not consent to electronic delivery because we may rely on your consent and not deliver paper copies of future Annual Meeting materials.  In addition, if you consent to electronic delivery, you will be responsible for your usual Internet charges (e.g., online fees) in connection with the electronic delivery of the proxy materials and annual report.

7.1           GRANT OF RESTRICTED STOCK.  The Committee is authorized to make Awards of Restricted Stock to Participants in such amounts and subject to such terms and conditions as may be selected by the Committee.  All Awards of Restricted Stock shall be evidenced by a Restricted Stock Award Agreement.

7.2           ISSUANCE AND RESTRICTIONS.  Restricted Stock shall be subject to such restrictions on transferability, repurchase, and other restrictions as the Committee may impose (including, without limitation, limitations on the right to vote Restricted Stock or the right to receive dividends on the Restricted Stock).  These restrictions may lapse separately or in combination at such times, under such circumstances, in such installments, or otherwise, as the Committee determines at the time of the grant of the Award or thereafter.

7.3           FORFEITURE.  Except as otherwise determined by the Committee at the time of the grant of the Award or thereafter, upon termination of employment or services during the applicable restriction period, Restricted Stock that is at that time subject to restrictions shall be forfeited, provided, however, that the Committee may provide in any Restricted Stock Award Agreement that restrictions or forfeiture conditions relating to Restricted Stock will be waived in whole or in part in the event of terminations resulting from specified causes, and the Committee may in other cases waive in whole or in part restrictions or forfeiture conditions relating to Restricted Stock.

7.4           CERTIFICATES FOR RESTRICTED STOCK.  Restricted Stock granted under the Plan may be evidenced in such manner as the Committee shall determine.  If certificates representing shares of Restricted Stock are registered in the name of the Participant, certificates must bear an appropriate legend referring to the terms, conditions, and restrictions applicable to such Restricted Stock, and the Company may, at its discretion, retain physical possession of the certificate until such time as all applicable restrictions lapse.

ARTICLE 8
PERFORMANCE SHARES

8.1           GRANT OF PERFORMANCE SHARES.  The Committee is authorized to grant Performance Shares to Participants on such terms and conditions as may be selected by the Committee.  The Committee shall have the complete discretion to determine the number of Performance Shares granted to each Participant.  All Awards of Performance Shares shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement.


8.2           RIGHT TO PAYMENT.  A grant of Performance Shares gives the Participant rights, valued as determined by the Committee, and payable to, or exercisable by, the Participant to whom the Performance Shares are granted, in whole or in part, as the Committee shall establish at grant or thereafter.  Subject to the terms of the Plan, the Committee shall set performance goals and other terms or conditions to payment of the Performance Shares in its discretion which, depending on the extent to which they are met, will determine the number and value of Performance Shares that will be paid to the Participant.

8.3           OTHER TERMS.  Performance Shares may be payable in cash, Stock, or other property, and have such other terms and conditions as determined by the Committee and reflected in a written Performance Share Award Agreement.  Unless otherwise provided in an Award Agreement, Performance Shares will lapse immediately if a Participant’s employment or service is terminated for Cause.

ARTICLE 9
PERFORMANCE-BASED AWARDS

9.1           PURPOSE.  The purpose of this Article 9 is to provide the Committee the ability to qualify the Restricted Stock Awards pursuant to Article 7 and the Performance Share Awards pursuant to Article 8 as “performance-based compensation” pursuant to Section 162(m) of the Code.  If the Committee, in its discretion, decides to grant a Performance-Based Award to a Covered Employee, the provisions of this Article 9 shall control over any contrary provision contained in Articles 7 or 8.

9.2           APPLICABILITY.  This Article 9 shall apply only to those Covered Employees selected by the Committee to receive Performance-Based Awards.  The Committee may, in its discretion, grant Restricted Stock Awards or Performance Share Awards to Covered Employees that do not satisfy the requirements of this Article 9.  The designation of a Covered Employee as a Participant for a Performance Period shall not in any manner entitle the Participant to receive an Award for the period.  Moreover, designation of a Covered Employee as a Participant for a particular Performance Period shall not require designation of such Covered Employee as a Participant in any subsequent Performance Period and designation of one Covered Employee as a Participant shall not require designation of any other Covered Employees as a Participant in such period or in any other period.

9.3           DISCRETION OF COMMITTEE WITH RESPECT TO PERFORMANCE AWARDS.  With regard to a particular Performance Period, the Committee shall have full discretion to select the length of such Performance Period, the type of Performance-Based Awards to be issued, the kind and/or level of the Performance Goal, and whether the Performance Goal is to apply to the Company, a Subsidiary or any division or business unit thereof.  Unless otherwise provided in an Award Agreement, Performance-Based Awards will be forfeited if a Participant’s employment is terminated for Cause.

9.4           PAYMENT OR GRANT OF PERFORMANCE AWARDS.  Unless otherwise provided in the relevant Award Agreement, a Participant must be employed by the Company or a Subsidiary on the day a Performance Award for such Performance Period is paid or granted to the Participant.  Furthermore, a Participant shall be eligible to receive payment pursuant to a Performance-Based Award for a Performance Period only if the Performance Goals for such period are achieved.  In determining the actual size of an individual Performance-Based Award, the Committee may reduce or eliminate the amount of the Performance-Based Award earned for the Performance Period, if in its sole and absolute discretion, such reduction or elimination is appropriate.


9.5           MAXIMUM AWARD PAYABLE OR GRANTED.  The maximum Performance-Based Award payable or granted to any one Participant pursuant to the Plan for a Performance Period is 100,000 shares of Stock, or in the event the Performance-Based Award is paid in cash, such maximum Performance-Based Award shall be determined by multiplying 100,000 by the Fair Market Value of one share of Stock as of the date of grant of the Performance-Based Award.

ARTICLE 10
PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO AWARDS

10.1          STAND-ALONE AND TANDEM AWARDS.  Awards granted under the Plan may, in the discretion of the Committee, be granted either alone or in addition to or in tandem with any other Award granted under the Plan.  Awards granted in addition to or in tandem with other Awards may be granted either at the same time as or at a different time from the grant of such other Awards.

10.2          EXCHANGE PROVISIONS.  The Committee may at any time offer to exchange or buy out any previously granted Award for a payment in cash, Stock, or another Award (subject to Section 10.1), based on the terms and conditions the Committee determines and communicates to the Participant at the time the offer is made.

10.3          TERM OF AWARD.  The term of each Award shall be for the period as determined by the Committee.

10.4          FORM OF PAYMENT FOR AWARDS.  Subject to the terms of the Plan and any applicable law or Award Agreement, payments or transfers to be made by the Company or a Subsidiary for the payment of an Award, if any, may be made in such forms as the Committee determines at or after the time of grant, including without limitation, cash, promissory note, Stock, other Awards, or other property, or any combination, and may be made in a single payment or transfer, in installments, or on a deferred basis, in each case determined in accordance with rules adopted by, and at the discretion of, the Committee.

10.5          LIMITS ON TRANSFER.  No right or interest of a Participant in any Award may be pledged, encumbered, or hypothecated to or in favor of any party other than the Company or a Subsidiary, or shall be subject to any lien, obligation, or liability of such Participant to any other party other than the Company or a Subsidiary.  Except as otherwise provided by the Committee or as otherwise provided in this Plan or in the applicable Award Agreement, no Award shall be assignable or transferable by a Participant other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution.

10.6          BENEFICIARIES.  Notwithstanding Section 10.5, a Participant may, in the manner determined by the Committee, designate a beneficiary to exercise the rights of the Participant and to receive any distribution with respect to any Award upon the Participant’s death.  A beneficiary, legal guardian, legal representative, or other person claiming any rights under the Plan is subject to all terms and conditions of the Plan and any Award Agreement applicable to the Participant, except to the extent the Plan and Award Agreement otherwise provide, and to any additional restrictions deemed necessary or appropriate by the Committee.  If the Participant is married, a designation of a person other than the Participant’s spouse as his beneficiary with respect to more than 50 percent of the Participant’s interest in the Award shall not be effective without the written consent of the Participant’s spouse.  If no beneficiary has been designated or survives the Participant, payment shall be made to the person entitled thereto under the Participant’s will or the laws of descent and distribution.  Subject to the foregoing, a beneficiary designation may be changed or revoked by a Participant at any time provided the change or revocation is filed with the Committee.


10.7          STOCK CERTIFICATES.  All Stock certificates delivered under the Plan are subject to any stop-transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee deems necessary or advisable to comply with Federal or state securities laws, rules and regulations and the rules of any national securities exchange or automated quotation system on which the Stock is listed, quoted, or traded.  The Committee may place legends on any Stock certificate to reference restrictions applicable to the Stock.

10.8          CHANGE OF CONTROL.  Unless otherwise provided in an Award Agreement, if a Change of Control occurs, the Board shall have the discretion to remove all restrictions on, or accelerate the vesting of, outstanding Awards.  Upon, or in anticipation of, such an event, the Committee may cause every Award outstanding hereunder to terminate at a specific time in the future and, if applicable, shall give each Participant the right to exercise Awards during a period of time as the Committee, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall determine.

ARTICLE 11
CHANGES IN CAPITAL STRUCTURE

11.1          GENERAL.  In the event a stock dividend is declared upon the Stock, the shares of Stock then subject to each Award (and the number of shares subject thereto) shall be increased proportionately without any change in the aggregate purchase price therefor.  In the event the Stock shall be changed into or exchanged for a different number or class of shares of Stock or of another corporation, whether through reorganization, recapitalization, stock split-up, combination of shares, merger or consolidation, the Committee has the authority to substitute for each such share of Stock then subject to each Award the number and class of shares of Stock into which each outstanding share of Stock shall be so exchanged, all without any change in the aggregate purchase price for the shares then subject to each Award.

ARTICLE 12
AMENDMENT, MODIFICATION AND TERMINATION

12.1          AMENDMENT, MODIFICATION AND TERMINATION.  With the approval of the Board, at any time and from time to time, the Committee may terminate, amend, or modify the Plan; provided, however, that to the extent necessary and desirable to comply with any applicable law, regulation, or stock exchange rule, the Company shall obtain shareholder approval of any Plan amendment in such a manner and to such a degree as required.

12.2          AWARDS PREVIOUSLY GRANTED.  Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, including without limitation, the provisions of Article 10, no termination, amendment, or modification of the Plan shall adversely affect in any material way any Award previously granted under the Plan, without the written consent of the Participant.

ARTICLE 13
GENERAL PROVISIONS

13.1          NO RIGHTS TO AWARDS.  No Participant, employee, non-employee service provider, or other person shall have any claim to be granted any Award under the Plan, and neither the Company nor the Committee is obligated to treat Participants, employees, non-employee service providers, and other persons uniformly.

13.2          NO STOCKHOLDERS RIGHTS.  No Award gives the Participant any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company unless and until shares of Stock are in fact issued to such person in connection with such Award.


13.3          WITHHOLDING.  The Company or any Subsidiary shall have the authority and the right to deduct or withhold, or require a Participant to remit to the Company, an amount sufficient to satisfy Federal, state, and local taxes (including the Participant’s FICA obligation) required by law to be withheld with respect to any taxable event arising as a result of this Plan.

13.4          NO RIGHT TO EMPLOYMENT OR SERVICES.  Nothing in the Plan or any Award Agreement shall interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company or any Subsidiary to terminate any Participant’s employment or services at any time, nor confer upon any Participant any right to continue in the employ of, or to provide services to, the Company or any Subsidiary.

13.5          UNFUNDED STATUS OF AWARDS.  The Plan is intended to be an “unfunded” plan for incentive compensation.  With respect to any payments not yet made to a Participant pursuant to an Award, nothing contained in the Plan or any Award Agreement shall give the Participant any rights that are greater than those of a general creditor of the Company or any Subsidiary.

13.6          INDEMNIFICATION.  To the extent allowable under applicable law, each member of the Committee or of the Board shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company from any loss, cost, liability, or expense that may be imposed upon or reasonably incurred by such member in connection with or resulting from any claim, action, suit, or proceeding to which he or she may be a party or in which he or she may be involved by reason of any action or failure to act under the Plan and against and from any and all amounts paid by him or her in satisfaction of judgment in such action, suit, or proceeding against him or her provided he or she gives the Company an opportunity, at its own expense, to handle and defend the same before he or she undertakes to handle and defend it on his or her own behalf.  The foregoing right of indemnification shall not be exclusive of any other rights of indemnification to which such persons may be entitled under the Company’s Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws, as a matter of law, or otherwise, or any power that the Company may have to indemnify them or hold them harmless.

13.7          RELATIONSHIP TO OTHER BENEFITS.  No payment under the Plan shall be taken into account in determining any benefits under any pension, retirement, savings, profit sharing, group insurance, welfare or other benefit plan of the Company or any Subsidiary.

13.8          EXPENSES.  The expenses of administering the Plan shall be borne by the Company and its Subsidiaries.

13.9          TITLES AND HEADINGS.  The titles and headings of the Sections in the Plan are for convenience of reference only, and in the event of any conflict, the text of the Plan, rather than such titles or headings, shall control.

13.10        FRACTIONAL SHARES.  No fractional shares of stock shall be issued and the Committee shall determine, in its discretion, whether cash shall be given in lieu of fractional shares or whether such fractional shares shall be eliminated by rounding up or down as appropriate.

13.11        SECURITIES LAW COMPLIANCE.  With respect to any person who is, on the relevant date, obligated to file reports under Section 16 of the Exchange Act, transactions under this Plan are intended to comply with all applicable conditions of Rule 16b-3 or its successors under the Exchange Act.  To the extent any provision of the Plan or action by the Committee fails to so comply, it shall be void to the extent permitted by law and voidable as deemed advisable by the Committee.


13.12        GOVERNMENT AND OTHER REGULATIONS.  The obligation of the Company to make payment of awards in Stock or otherwise shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules, and regulations, and to such approvals by government agencies as may be required.  The Company shall be under no obligation to register under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), any of the shares of Stock paid under the Plan.  If the shares paid under the Plan may in certain circumstances be exempt from registration under the 1933 Act, the Company may restrict the transfer of such shares in such manner as it deems advisable to ensure the availability of any such exemption.

13.13        GOVERNING LAW.  The Plan and all Award Agreements shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Arizona.
