PROPOSAL NO. 2
APPROVAL OF PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO THE COMPANYS 2002
STOCK OPTION
PLAN TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF SHARES OF COMMON STOCK
AUTHORIZED FOR ISSUANCE PURSUANT TO STOCK OPTIONS
General
In 2002, the Board unanimously adopted and the
stockholders approved the 2002 Stock Option Plan, or the 2002 Plan. As described below, on August 25, 2004 the Board, subject to stockholder approval,
approved an amendment to the 2002 Plan to increase by 6,500,000 (from 2,275,000 to 8,775,000) the number of shares of common stock authorized for
issuance under the 2002 Plan. As of September 15, 2004, only 493,250 shares were available for future grant under the 2002 Plan. The purpose of this
amendment is to ensure that the Company has the flexibility to meet its foreseeable future needs for awards to be granted under the 2002 Plan. Such
needs include providing stock options for the purposes of retaining key employees as well as in connection with annual compensation reviews or ordinary
course promotions and to new hires as inducement grants. The stockholders are being asked to
approve an amendment to the 2002 Plan to increase the number of shares of common stock authorized for issuance under the 2002 Plan by 6,500,000, which
shares will be available for future grants. The Board recommends stockholders approve the proposed amendment to the 2002 Plan to increase the number of
shares of common stock authorized for issuance pursuant to stock options.
Description of the 2002 Stock Option Plan
The following summary of the 2002 Plan is qualified
in its entirety by the specific language of the 2002 Plan, a copy of which, as proposed to be amended, is included as Appendix A to this proxy
statement.
General. The
2002 Plan is established to attract, retain and reward persons providing services to the Company and to its eligible parent or subsidiary corporations,
and to motivate such persons to contribute to the growth and profits of the Company in the future. Options granted under the 2002 Plan may be either
incentive stock options, as defined in Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code, or the Code, or nonqualified stock options. See Summary of
Federal Income Tax Consequences of the 2002 Stock Option Plan below for information concerning the tax treatment of both incentive stock options
and nonqualified stock options. The 2002 Plan is not a qualified deferred compensation plan under Section 401(a) of the Code, and is not subject to the
provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended. Benefits to be granted under the 2002 Plan are not
determinable.
Shares Subject to
Plan. Options shall be for the purchase of shares of the authorized but unissued, or reacquired (treasury) common stock
of the Company. The maximum number of shares of stock which may be issued under the 2002 Plan shall be 8,775,000 shares. In the event that any
outstanding option for any reason expires or is terminated or canceled, the shares allocable to the unexercised portion of such option may again be
subject to an option grant. Shares issued upon exercise of an option and repurchased by the Company will not increase the number of shares available
for issuance under the 2002 Plan.
As of September 15, 2004, no shares had been issued
under the 2002 Plan and options to purchase 1,781,750 shares were outstanding, leaving only 493,250 shares available for future grant. Options
outstanding on September 15, 2004 have per share exercise prices ranging from $2.15 to $4.23, or a weighted average per share exercise price of $3.33,
and expire 10 years from the date of grant of the option (unless exercised or cancelled prior to that time).
If the stockholders approve the 2002 Plan, as
amended, options to purchase an aggregate of 6,993,250 shares of common stock would be available for future stock option grants under the 2002 Plan. If
the stockholders do not approve the 2002 Plan, as amended, then the 2002 Plan will not be amended at this time.
As of September 15, 2004, the total number of
options outstanding was 8,487,097, of which 1,781,750 were issued pursuant to the 2002 Plan, 2,581,527 were issued pursuant to the 2000 Supplemental
Stock Option Plan, 975,000 were issued pursuant to a restricted stock grant agreement, 2,624,585 were issued pursuant to the 1993 Stock Option Plan,
479,483 were issued in connection with the Companys acquisition of Synchrologic and the assumption by the Company of options to purchase
Synchrologic common stock and 44,752 were issued in connection with the Companys acquisitions of ProxiNet, Inc. and NetMind Technologies, Inc. in
prior fiscal years.
Administration. The Board is responsible for administering the Companys stock plans, including the
2002 Plan. The Board may, however, delegate authority to administer the 2002 Plan to one or more committees. Currently,
9
the 2002 Plan is administered by the stock option committee, which consists of Mr.
Hobbs. This committee is primarily responsible for approving all stock option grants of 50,000 shares or fewer to new and continuing employees (other
than executive officers), while the compensation committee is primarily responsible for approving all stock option grants greater than 50,000 shares.
Any officer of the Company shall have the authority to act on behalf of the Company with respect to any matter, right, obligation, or election which is
the responsibility of or which is allocated to the Company herein, provided the officer has apparent authority with respect to such matter, right,
obligation, or election. The Board or its committee(s) administer the 2002 Plan pursuant to applicable laws and regulations.
The administrator determines the terms and
conditions provided in the 2002 Plan, including the power to terminate or amend the 2002 Plan at any time, subject to the terms of the 2002 Plan and
any legal requirements. The administrator determines the number of shares of stock for which each option is granted, the option exercise price of each
option, the timing and terms of exercisability and vesting of each option, whether each option is to be treated as an incentive stock option or as a
nonqualified stock option and all other terms and conditions of the option. The administrator will interpret the 2002 Plan or the terms of any options
granted under the 2002 Plan, and all determinations of the administrator will be final and binding upon all persons bound by the 2002 Plan or holding
an option.
Eligibility. Options may be granted only to employees (including officers and directors who are also
employees) and directors of the Company or to individuals who are rendering services as consultants of or advisors to the Company. Incentive stock
options may be granted only to employees. A director of the Company may only be granted a nonqualified stock option unless the director is also an
employee of the Company. An individual who is rendering services as a consultant, advisor, or other independent contractor may only be granted a
nonqualified stock option. Eligible persons may be granted more than one option. As of September 15, 2004, approximately 369 employees, officers,
consultants, and directors were eligible to participate in the 2002 Plan.
Terms, Conditions and Form of
Options. The terms of options granted under the 2002 Plan are determined by the administrator. Each option granted
pursuant to the 2002 Plan is evidenced by a written agreement specifying the number of shares of stock covered by the option. This written agreement
also specifies other provisions that the administrator may determine. The option may incorporate all or any of the terms of the 2002 Plan by reference
and shall comply with and be subject to the following terms and conditions:
Limits on Plan
Awards. The 2002 Plan limits the maximum number of shares of common stock that may be subject to awards granted to any
one employee under the 2002 Plan during any fiscal year. Subject to adjustment as provided in the 2002 Plan, the maximum number of shares subject to
awards that may be granted to any one employee during a fiscal year under the 2002 Plan is 2,275,000. This annual limitation is designed to comply with
the Section 162(m) rules requiring that the plan include a limit on the number of shares that may be granted during a specified
period.
Option Exercise
Price. The option exercise price for each option is established in the sole discretion of the administrator. However,
the option exercise price per share, (i) for an incentive stock option, shall not be less than the fair market value, as determined by the
administrator, which determination will generally be based upon the closing price on the Nasdaq National Market on the date of grant, of a share of
stock, (ii) for a nonqualified stock option, shall not be less than eighty-five percent 85 percent of the fair market value, as determined by the
administrator, of a share of stock on the date of the granting of the option. Additionally, no incentive stock option granted to an optionee who at the
time the option is granted owns stock possessing more than ten percent of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company will
have an option exercise price per share less than 110 percent of the fair market value, as determined by the administrator, of a share of stock on the
date of the granting of the option. The administrator may, however, grant options to participants having exercise prices that are less than the minimum
exercise prices set forth above if grants are in compliance with the applicable laws and regulations. As of September 15, 2004, the closing price of a
share of our common stock on the Nasdaq National Market was $2.18.
Exercise Of
Options. The administrator determines when options are exercisable, including any vesting requirements and/or
performance criteria with respect to the Company or the optionee, and the term of each option. The Companys standard vesting schedule calls for
25 percent of the stock options to be exercisable at the end of the first year, and of the total number of shares each month thereafter. Generally,
the optionee must earn the right to exercise the option by continuing to work for the Company, although the plan permits the grant of
fully
10
vested options. An option is exercised by giving written notice of exercise to the
Company specifying the number of full shares of common stock to be purchased, and by tendering payment of the purchase price to the Company.
Payment Of Option Exercise
Price. Payment of the option exercise price for the number of shares of stock being purchased pursuant to any option
shall be made (i) in cash, by check, or cash equivalent; (ii) by tender to the Company of shares of the Companys stock owned by the optionee
having a value not less than the aggregate exercise price of the option shares being exercised, provided that in the case of shares acquired from the
Company, such shares must have been owned by the optionee for more than six months on the date of tender (or such other period as may be required to
avoid the Companys incurring an adverse accounting charge); (iii) by the assignment of the proceeds of a sale of some or all of the shares being
acquired upon the exercise of the option (including, without limitation, through an exercise complying with the provisions of Regulation T as
promulgated from time to time by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System); (iv) any other method permissible under the applicable laws; or
(v) by any combination of the foregoing methods.
Exercise on
Termination. If the optionees employment or consulting relationship with the Company is terminated for any reason
other than death or total and permanent disability, options under the 2002 Plan may be exercised within three months (or some other period determined
by the administrator) after the date of such termination to the extent the option was vested on the termination date. If an optionee is unable to
continue his or her employment or consulting relationship with the Company as a result of his or her disability, options may be exercised within 12
months (or some other period determined by the administrator) after the date of termination and may be exercised to the extent the option was vested on
the date of termination. If an optionee dies while working for the Company, or within 30 days after the optionee has ceased to work for the Company,
and such optionee has worked for the Company since the date of grant of the option, the option may be exercised within 12 months after the date of
death (or some other period determined by the administrator) by the optionees estate or by a person who inherited the right to exercise the
option to the extent the option would have been vested at the date of death.
Option Termination
Date. Incentive stock options granted under the 2002 Plan expire 10 years from the date of grant unless a shorter period
is provided in the option agreement. Incentive stock options granted to 10 percent stockholders may not have a term of more than five years. Although
non-statutory stock options granted under the 2002 Plan may have any term specified by the administrator, the applicable term is generally 10
years.
Nontransferability of
Options. Incentive stock options are not transferable by the optionee, other than by will or the laws of descent and
distribution, and are exercisable only by the optionee during his or her lifetime or, in the event of death, by a person who acquires the right to
exercise the option by bequest or inheritance or by reason of the death of the optionee. The administrator may grant nonqualified stock options having
limited transferability.
$100,000 Limitation Applicable To Incentive
Stock Options. Notwithstanding any designation by the administrator of an option as an incentive stock option, to the
extent that the aggregate fair market value of shares with respect to which options designated as incentive stock options are exercisable for the first
time by any optionee during any calendar year (under all plans of the Company) exceeds $100,000, such excess options shall be treated as nonqualified
stock options. For purposes of this paragraph, incentive stock options shall be taken into account in the order in which they were granted, and the
fair market value of the shares subject to an incentive stock option shall be determined as of the date of the grant of such option.
Withholding
Taxes. As a condition of the grant, vesting or exercise of an option, the optionee (or in the case of the
optionees death, the person succeeding to the optionees rights under the option) shall make such arrangements as the administrator may
require for the satisfaction of any applicable federal, state, local or foreign withholding tax obligations that may arise in connection with such
grant, vesting or exercise of the option and the issuance of shares thereunder. The Company shall not be required to issue any shares under the 2002
Plan until such obligations are satisfied. If the compensation committee allows the withholding or surrender of shares of Company stock to satisfy an
optionees tax withholding obligations under this paragraph, the administrator shall not allow shares to be withheld in an amount that exceeds the
minimum statutory withholding rates for federal and state tax purposes, including payroll taxes.
Other
Provisions. An award agreement may contain other terms, provisions, and conditions not inconsistent with the 2002 Plan,
as may be determined by the administrator.
11
Transfer of Control;
Liquidation. The 2002 Plan provides that in the event of (a) a sale of all or substantially all of the Companys
assets, or (b) a merger, consolidation or other capital reorganization or transaction of the Company with or into another corporation, entity or
person, the acquiring or successor corporation may assume the Companys rights and obligations under outstanding options or substitute options for
the acquiring corporations stock for such outstanding options. Any unexercised options which are neither assumed or substituted for by the
acquiring corporation in connection with the transfer of control, shall terminate and cease to be outstanding effective as of the date of the transfer
of control. The administrator may grant options that permit acceleration of vesting upon a change of control of the Company.
In the event of a liquidation or dissolution of the
Company, each option will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such action, unless otherwise determined by the administrator in its sole
discretion.
Adjustments Upon Changes in
Capitalization. In the event any change, such as a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, combination,
recapitalization or reclassification, is made in the Companys capitalization that results in an increase or decrease in the number of issued
shares of common stock without receipt of consideration by the Company, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the exercise price of each outstanding
option, the number of shares subject to each option, and the annual Section 162(m) limitation on grants to employees, as well as the number of shares
available for issuance under the 2002 Plan.
Termination or Amendment of
Plan. The administrator may at any time amend, alter, suspend, discontinue, or terminate the 2002 Plan or one or more
outstanding options at any time; provided, however, that without the approval of the Companys stockholders, there shall be (a) no increase in the
total number of shares of stock covered by the 2002 Plan, (b) no change in the class of persons eligible to receive incentive stock options and (c) no
expansion in the class of persons eligible to receive nonqualified stock options. In any event, no amendment, alteration, suspension, discontinuance,
or termination (except as otherwise provided in the 2002 Plan) may adversely affect the rights of any optionee under any outstanding stock option grant
without his or her consent, unless such amendment is required to enable an option designated as an incentive stock option to qualify as an incentive
stock option. Unless terminated earlier, the 2002 Plan will terminate in October 2012.
Summary of Federal Income Tax Consequences of the 2002 Stock Option
Plan
The following is a brief summary of the United
States federal income tax consequences of transactions under the 2002 Plan based on federal securities and income tax laws in effect as of the date of
this proxy statement (which laws could change at any time hereafter, possibly with retroactive effect). This summary is not intended to be exhaustive
and does not discuss the tax consequences of a participants death or provisions of the income tax laws of any municipality, state or other
country in which an optionee may reside. This summary does not purport to be complete. The Company advises all optionees to consult their own tax
advisors concerning tax implications of option grants and exercises, and the disposition of shares acquired upon such exercise, under the 2002
Plan.
Options granted under the 2002 Plan may be either
incentive stock options, as defined in Section 422 of the Code, or nonqualified stock options.
If an option granted under the 2002 Plan is an
incentive stock option, the optionee will recognize no income upon grant of the incentive stock option and incur no regular tax liability upon its
exercise, although the exercise of an incentive stock option may give rise to alternative minimum tax (see below). The Company will not be allowed a
deduction for federal income tax purposes as result of the exercise of an incentive stock option regardless of the applicability of the alternative
minimum tax. Upon the sale or exchange of the shares more than two years after grant of the option and more than one year after transfer of the shares
to the optionee, any gain will be treated as long-term capital gain. If both of these holding periods are not satisfied (a disqualifying
disposition), the optionee will recognize ordinary income equal to the difference between the exercise price and the lower of the fair market
value of the stock at the date of the option exercise or the sale price of the stock. The Company will be entitled to a deduction in the same amount as
the ordinary income recognized by the optionee. Any gain recognized on such a disqualifying disposition of the shares in excess of the amount treated
as ordinary income will be characterized as long-term capital gain if the sale occurs more than one year after exercise of the option or as short-term
capital gain if the sale is made earlier. Different tax rules may apply upon a disqualifying disposition if the shares acquired upon exercise of an
incentive stock option were unvested (i.e., subject to a repurchase right on the part of the Company at the original purchase price if the
optionee ceases to perform services for the Company prior to completion of a specified service period) at the time of exercise, and optionees should
consult their own
12
tax advisors regarding such special rules in that event. The tax rate on long-term
capital gains under current federal tax laws is capped at 15 percent for shares held more than one year. Capital losses are allowed in full against
capital gains plus $3,000 of other income.
All other options which do not qualify as incentive
stock options are referred to as nonqualified stock options. An optionee will not recognize any taxable income under U.S. tax laws at the time he or
she is granted a nonqualified stock option. However, upon its exercise, under U.S. tax laws the optionee will recognize ordinary income for tax
purposes measured by the excess of the then fair market value of the shares over the exercise price. In certain circumstances, where the shares are
unvested (as defined above) when acquired or where the optionee is an officer, director or 10 percent stockholder of the Company and sale of the shares
could give rise to a suit to disgorge profits under Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the date when taxation occurs and
the fair market value of the shares is measured for purposes of determining such ordinary income may be deferred unless the optionee files an election
with the Internal Revenue Service under Section 83(b) of the Code. The income recognized at the time of exercise by an optionee who is also an employee
of the Company will be subject to income and employment tax withholding by the Company by payment in cash or out of the current earnings paid to the
optionee. Upon sale of such shares by the optionee, any difference between the sale price and the fair market value of the shares on the exercise date
(or any later applicable measurement date) will be treated as capital gain or loss, and will qualify for long-term capital gain or loss treatment if
the shares have been held for more than one year.
Alternative Minimum Tax
As noted above, the exercise of an incentive stock
option may subject the optionee to the alternative minimum tax, or AMT. The AMT is calculated for federal tax purposes by applying a tax rate of 26
percent to alternative minimum taxable income up to $175,000 ($87,500 for married taxpayers filing separately) and 28 percent to alternative minimum
income above such amount. Alternative minimum taxable income for federal tax purposes is equal to (i) taxable income adjusted for certain items, plus
(ii) items of tax preference less (iii) an exclusion of $58,000 for 2004, and $45,000 thereafter for joint filers, and $40,250 for 2004, and $33,750
thereafter, for unmarried individual returns, with the exclusion amount phased out for upper-income taxpayers.
In computing alternative minimum taxable income,
shares purchased upon exercise of an incentive stock option are treated as if they had been acquired by the optionee pursuant to a nonqualified option,
as described above. Because the AMT rules are complex and their effects depend upon the personal circumstances of each taxpayer, an optionee should
consult his or her own tax advisor prior to exercising an incentive stock option.
If an optionee pays AMT as a result of exercising an
incentive stock option, the amount of such AMT may be carried forward as a credit against any subsequent years regular tax in excess of the
AMT.

purchase common stock that were granted under the 2002 Plan to current executive officers named in this proxy statement, nominees for re-election to

PROPOSAL NO. 3
RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT
REGISTERED
PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The audit committee of the Board has selected
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as independent registered public accounting firm to audit the financial statements of the Company for the fiscal year ending
July 31, 2005. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP has acted as the Companys independent registered public accounting firm since the Companys
inception. A representative of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP is expected to be present at the Annual Meeting with the opportunity to make a statement if
the representative desires to do so, and is expected to be available to respond to appropriate questions.
Neither the Companys bylaws nor other
governing documents or law require stockholder ratification of the selection of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as our independent registered public
accounting firm. However, the Board is submitting the selection of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP to the stockholders for ratification as a matter of good
corporate practice. If the stockholders fail to ratify the selection, the audit committee will reconsider whether or not to retain that firm. Even if
the selection is ratified, the audit committee in its discretion may direct the appointment of different independent registered public accounting firm
at any time during the year if they determine that such a change would be in our best interests and the best interests of our
stockholders.

Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures
The audit committees policy is to pre-approve
all audit and permissible non-audit services provided by the independent registered public accounting firm. These services may include audit services,
audit-related services, tax services and other services. Pre-approval is generally provided for up to one year and any pre-approval is detailed as to
the particular service or category of services and is often subject to a specific budget. The independent registered public accounting firm and
management are required to report periodically to the audit committee regarding the extent of services provided by the independent registered public
accounting firm in accordance with this pre-approval, and the fees for the services performed to date. The audit committee may also pre-approve
particular services on a case-by-case basis.

Percentage ownership is based on 65,783,251 shares of common
stock outstanding as of September 15, 2004. Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC. In computing the number of
shares beneficially owned by a person and the percentage ownership of that person, shares of common stock subject to options held by that person that
are currently exercisable or will become exercisable within 60 days after September 15, 2004 are deemed outstanding, while such shares are not deemed
outstanding for purposes of computing percentage ownership of any other person. Options granted under the Companys Amended and Restated 1993
Stock Option Plan, or the 1993 Option Plan, are fully exercisable from the date of grant, subject to the Companys right to repurchase any
unvested shares at the original exercise price upon termination of employment. Options granted under the 2002 Plan are generally subject to a standard
vesting schedule that calls for 25 percent of the stock options to be exercisable after 12 months from the date of grant, and of the total number of
shares each month thereafter. Unless otherwise indicated in the footnotes below, the persons and entities named in the table have sole voting and

Represents shares of common stock remaining available as of July
31, 2004 for future issuance under the Companys Employee Stock Purchase Plan, as amended. During the fiscal year ended July 31, 2004, employees
purchased an aggregate of 278,868 shares of common stock at the weighted average exercise price of $1.21 per share. |
The following is a brief description of the
Companys equity compensation plans that have not been submitted to the Companys stockholders for approval:
2000 Supplemental Stock Option
Plan. In March 2000, the Board adopted the 2000 Supplemental Stock Option Plan, or the SSOP. The SSOP provides for
granting of nonqualified stock options to purchase shares of common stock to non-executive officers, employees and consultants of the Company. In
accordance with the SSOP, the stated exercise price shall not be less than 85 percent of the estimated fair market value of common stock on the date of
grant as determined by the Board. The SSOP allows optionees to purchase stock on exercise of options using cash, through a tender of shares or through
a same-day sale option exercise program. The SSOP provides that the options shall be exercisable over a period not to exceed ten years. Options
generally vest 25 percent 12 months after date of grant and each month thereafter for the next 36 months. The SSOP provides that, in the event of
certain change of control transactions involving the Company, outstanding options will be assumed by the Companys acquiror or the Companys
acquiror would issue replacement options. If the Companys acquiror did not assume or replace outstanding options, then these options would
terminate upon the closing of the transactions. Options available for grant as of July 31, 2004 were approximately 72,513 shares.
Restricted Stock Grant
Agreement. In June 2002, the Company granted its new president and chief executive officer, Woodson Hobbs, an option to
purchase 1,500,000 restricted shares of common stock at $0.59 per share (the fair market value on July 14, 2002, the date of the grant). The options
may be exercised prior to the options becoming vested, but such shares are subject to repurchase over the option vesting period. If the officers
employment is terminated for any reason, the Company has the right to repurchase any unvested shares. A total of 700,000 shares, conditional upon
continued employment, vest 25 percent 12 months after date of grant and each month thereafter for the next 36 months. The remaining 800,000 shares
vest in full on June 14, 2009, but the vesting may be accelerated upon achievement of certain performance objectives. The grant provides for
acceleration of vesting upon change of control, as more fully described in the Employment Contracts and Termination of Employment and Change of
Control Arrangements section. In June 2002, Mr. Hobbs exercised 525,000 shares in exchange for a full recourse, interest-bearing promissory note.
The note was paid in full in January 2004.
Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
The compensation committee currently consists of Ms.
Berg-Painter and Messrs. Arnold, Clair and Praisner. No member of the compensation committee has a relationship that would constitute an interlocking
relationship with executive officers or directors of another entity.
Compensation of Directors
Prior to September 30, 2003, all of the
Companys directors were reimbursed for their out-of-pocket expenses incurred in executing their responsibilities to the Company, as well as
attending board and committee meetings. In addition, non-employee directors received a $2,000 fee for each board meeting that they attended in person
and a fee of $500 for each audit committee meeting that they attended in person. Directors are also eligible to receive stock option
grants.
On September 30, 2003, the Board approved changes to
the compensation paid to its directors. Under the modified board fee structure, non-employee directors generally receive a $1,000 fee for each board
meeting or audit committee meeting that they attend in person and a $500 fee for each board meeting or audit committee that they attend telephonically.
In addition, non-employee directors will receive a $500 fee for each compensation committee meeting that they attend in person or telephonically. The
chairman of the audit committee will receive an additional $500 fee for each meeting that the chairman attends, and the chairman of the compensation
committee will receive an additional $250 fee for each meeting that the chairman attends. The chairman of the board will receive an additional $500 for
each meeting that the chairman attends. Additionally, beginning on February 15, 2004, each non-employee director receives annual cash compensation in
the amount of $20,000, payable quarterly, provided
23
that the directors service was not terminated at the end of such quarter. In
addition, the chairman of the board will receive additional annual cash compensation in the amount of $15,000, payable quarterly, provided that the
directors service was not terminated at the end of such quarter, and each Board committee chairman will receive additional annual cash
compensation in the amount of $10,000. Due to the distance traveled and expense incurred, Mr. Arnold receives compensation of $3,000 to cover his
travel expenses in lieu of the regular director fee for each board meeting or audit committee meeting that he attends in person.
On September 30, 2003, the Board approved the grant
of options to purchase 90,600 shares of common stock to Mr. Clair, 47,200 shares to Mr. Praisner and 29,700 shares to Ms. Berg-Painter, each option to
vest pro-rata over a three-year term. The options are exercisable at $4.76 per share. On June 1, 2004, the Board approved the grant of option to
purchase 25,000 shares of common stock to Mr. Arnold. The option is exercisable at $2.42 per share and vests 25 percent 12 months after date of grant
and each month thereafter for the next 36 months.
Additionally, on September 30, 2003, the Board
approved personal compensation agreements with Ms. Berg-Painter, Mr. Clair and Mr. Praisner, filed as Exhibits 10.28, 10.26 and 10.17 to the
Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K filed for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2003. The personal compensation agreements provide for the cash
compensation described above and the acceleration of vesting of options to purchase common stock in the event of a change of control of the
Company.
Employment Contracts and Termination of Employment and Change-in-Control
Arrangements
Woodson
Hobbs. The Company entered into an employment agreement with Woodson Hobbs dated June 14, 2002, pursuant to which Mr.
Hobbs was engaged as the Companys President and Chief Executive Officer at an initial annual base salary of $300,000. On September 30, 2003, the
compensation committee increased Mr. Hobbs annual base salary to $350,000, retroactively effective June 14, 2003. In addition to base
compensation, Mr. Hobbs received a signing bonus of $200,000 upon execution of his employment agreement. Mr. Hobbs was also issued an immediately
exercisable restricted stock option to purchase up to 1,500,000 shares of the Companys common stock at $0.59 per share. The option is fully
exercisable from the time of grant, subject to the Companys right to repurchase any unvested shares at the original exercise price in the event
of Mr. Hobbs termination. The option shares vest as follows: 700,000 shares vest over four years, with 25 percent vesting after one year and then
vesting monthly thereafter; 400,000 shares vest on the seventh anniversary of the date of grant, with acceleration for meeting certain operating plan
criteria, including revenue and net income objectives; and 400,000 shares vest on the seventh anniversary of the date of grant, with acceleration for
meeting certain stock price targets. Mr. Hobbs exercised the option with respect to 525,000 shares and paid for the shares by issuing the Company a
full recourse promissory note in the aggregate principal amount of $309,750 with interest accruing at the rate of 4.75 percent per annum. The note was
paid in full in January 2004. Mr. Hobbs is entitled to receive pro-rata compensation and benefits for a three-month period if he is subject to an
Involuntary Termination (as defined below). If Mr. Hobbs is subject to Involuntary Termination within 12 months following a
Change of Control (as defined below), he will be entitled to receive pro-rata compensation and benefits for a six-month period. In
addition, upon a Change of Control, all unvested shares of the Companys stock owned or under options held by Mr. Hobbs will vest in full. In
addition, the Company will increase any severance amounts payable to Mr. Hobbs to cover any excise tax he may owe if his severance payments are deemed
to constitute excess parachute payments under Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, in connection with a Change of
Control. On October 18, 2003, the compensation committee approved the Amendment to Attachment 1 to Employment Agreement amending the definition of
Change of Control such that Change of Control means the occurrence of any of the following events:
(a) Any
person (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), excluding existing beneficial
owners as of the date of this Letter, is or becomes the beneficial owner (as defined in Section 13d-3 of said Act), directly or indirectly,
of securities of the Company representing 50 percent or more of the total voting power represented by the Companys then outstanding voting
securities, excluding conversion of any convertible securities issued as of the date of this Agreement;
(b) The composition of
the Board changes during any period of 36 months that follows October 20, 2003, such that individuals who, at the beginning of the period, were members
of the Board (the Continuing Directors), cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority thereof; unless at least 50 percent of the
Continuing Directors has either (i) approved the election of the new Directors, (ii) if the election of the new Directors is voted on by stockholders,
recommended that the stockholders vote for approval, or (iii) otherwise
24
determined that such change in composition does not constitute a Change of Control,
even if the Continuing Directors do not constitute a quorum of the whole Board (it being understood that this requirement shall not be capable of
satisfaction unless there is at least one Continuing Director);
(c) The stockholders
of the Company approve a merger or consolidation of the Company with any other corporation, other than a merger or consolidation which would result in
the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior thereto continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being
converted into voting securities of the surviving entity) at least 50 percent of the total voting power represented by the voting securities of the
Company or such surviving entity outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation, or the stockholders of the Company approve a plan of
complete liquidation of the Company or an agreement for the sale or disposition by the Company of all or substantially all of the Companys
assets;
Any other provision of this
notwithstanding, the term Change of Control shall not include either of the following events undertaken at the election of the
Company:
(i) Any transaction, the
sole purpose of which is to change the state of the Companys incorporation; or
(ii) A transaction, the
result of which is to sell all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to another corporation (the surviving corporation)
provided that the surviving corporation is owned directly or indirectly by the stockholders of the Company immediately following such transaction in
substantially the same proportions as their ownership of the Companys common stock immediately preceding such transaction.
Clyde
Foster. The Company entered into an employment agreement with Clyde Foster dated September 5, 2002, pursuant to which
Mr. Foster was engaged as the Companys Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing at an annual base salary of currently $240,000. Under the
employment agreement Mr. Foster was initially eligible to earn a commission-based bonus of up to $160,000 annually at quota, with additional over quota
commission possible, of up to a maximum of $80,000 annually. Mr. Foster is eligible to participate in the Companys medical, dental, life
insurance, and long-term disability programs as of the first day of his employment. Mr. Foster was issued an immediately exercisable stock option to
purchase up to 300,000 shares of the Companys common stock at $0.34 per share. The option is fully exercisable from the time of grant, subject to
the Companys right to repurchase any unvested shares at the original exercise price in the event of Mr. Fosters termination. The option
shares originally vested over four years, with 25 percent vesting after 12 months from the date of grant and then vesting monthly thereafter. Mr.
Foster also received an additional grant of an option for 100,000 shares of the Companys common stock at $0.34 per share. The option to purchase
100,000 shares is fully vested as a result of the satisfaction of certain performance milestones. In the event the Company terminates Mr. Fosters
employment at any time other than for good reason (as defined in the agreement), then he shall be entitled to receive as a severance six months
continuation of his base salary, based upon his base salary as of the date of his employment ceases, and the Company will continue to pay for coverage
of the executive under the Companys health, life, dental and other insurance programs for a period of six months, provided that he first sign a
comprehensive release of claim in favor of the Company, and that release becomes effective according to its terms. On September 30, 2003, the Board
granted Mr. Foster an option to purchase 200,000 shares of the Companys common stock at $4.76 per share. As of the date of grant, the option
shares will vest over four years, with 25 percent vesting after 12 months from the date of grant and then vesting monthly thereafter. On that date,
the Board also approved a Change of Control Agreement with Mr. Foster that provides for 12 months acceleration of vesting of Mr. Fosters options
in the event of a Change of Control (as defined below).
Steven
Goldberg. On February 23, 2004, the Board granted Mr. Goldberg an option to purchase 150,000 shares of the
Companys common stock at $3.30 per share. As of the date of the grant, option shares will vest over four years, with 25 percent vesting after 12
months from the date of grant and then vesting monthly thereafter. The Board also approved a Change of Control Agreement with Mr. Goldberg that
provides for 12 months acceleration of vesting of Mr. Goldbergs options in the event of a Change of Control (as defined below).

Kitchen. On September 30, 2003, the Board granted Mr. Kitchen an option to purchase 150,000 shares of the Companys
common stock. As of the date of the grant, option shares will vest over four years, with 25 percent vesting after 12 months from the date of grant and
then vesting monthly thereafter. On that date, the Board also approved a Change of Control Agreement with Mr. Kitchen that provides for 12 months
acceleration of vesting of Mr. Kitchens options in the event of a Change of Control (as defined below).
25
Under the Change of Control Agreements with Messrs.
Foster, Goldberg and Kitchen, Change of Control means the occurrence of any of the following events:
(a) Any
person (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), excluding existing beneficial
owners as of the date of this letter, is or becomes the beneficial owner (as defined in Section 13d-3 of said Act), directly or indirectly,
of securities of the Company representing 50 percent or more of the total voting power represented by the Companys then outstanding voting
securities, excluding conversion of any convertible securities issued as of the date of this letter;
(b) The composition of
the Board changes during any period of 36 months that follows the date of the change of control agreement, such that individuals who, at the beginning
of the period, were members of the Board (the Continuing Directors), cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority thereof; unless
at least 50 percent of the Continuing Directors has either (i) approved the election of the new Directors, (ii) if the election of the new Directors is
voted on by stockholders, recommended that the stockholders vote for approval, or (iii) otherwise determined that such change in composition does not
constitute a Change of Control, even if the Continuing Directors do not constitute a quorum of the whole Board (it being understood that this
requirement shall not be capable of satisfaction unless there is at least one Continuing Director); or
(c) The stockholders
of the Company approve a merger or consolidation of the Company with any other corporation, other than a merger or consolidation which would result in
the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior thereto continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being
converted into voting securities of the surviving entity) at least 50 percent of the total voting power represented by the voting securities of the
Company or such surviving entity outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation, or the stockholders of the Company approve a plan of
complete liquidation of the Company or an agreement for the sale or disposition by the Company of all or substantially all of the Companys
assets.
The Change of Control Agreements
provide that Change of Control shall not include either of the following events undertaken at the election of the Company:
(i) Any transaction, the
sole purpose of which is to change the state of the Companys incorporation; or
(ii) A transaction, the
result of which is to sell all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to another corporation (the surviving corporation)
provided that the surviving corporation is owned directly or indirectly by the stockholders of the Company immediately following such transaction in
substantially the same proportions as their ownership of the Companys common stock immediately preceding such transaction.

REPORT OF THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE OF THE INTELLISYNC
BOARD OF DIRECTORS
ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
The following is the report of the compensation
committee of the Company, describing the compensation policies and rationale applicable to the Companys executive officers with respect to the
compensation paid to such executive officers for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2004. The information contained in the report shall not be deemed to be
soliciting material or to be filed with the SEC nor shall such information be incorporated by reference into any future filing
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except to
the extent that the Company specifically incorporates it by reference into such filing.
The committee is responsible for setting and
administering the policies governing annual compensation of the executive officers of the Company. In addition, the committee reviews the performance
and compensation levels for executive officers, sets base salary levels for executive officers, and is primarily responsible for approving stock option
grants greater than 50,000 shares. The members of this committee for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2004 were Ms. Berg-Painter and Messrs. Arnold (who
was appointed to the committee in May 2004), Clair and Praisner, who were non-employee directors of the Company for the fiscal year ended July 31,
2004.
Overview
The goals of the Companys executive officer
compensation policies are to attract, retain and reward executive officers who contribute to the Companys success, to align executive officer
compensation with the Companys performance and to motivate executive officers to achieve the Companys business objectives. The Company uses
salary, bonuses, incentive cash compensation and option grants to attain these goals. The committee reviews compensation surveys and other data to
enable the committee to compare the Companys compensation package with that of similarly-sized high technology companies in the Companys
geographic areas.
Salary
Compensation of executive officers, other than for
Mr. Hobbs, the Companys president and chief executive officer, are reviewed annually by the committee, and adjustments are made based on
individual executive officer performance, scope of responsibilities and levels paid by similarly-sized high technology companies in the applicable
geographic area.

Stock Options
The Company strongly believes that equity ownership
by executive officers provides incentives to build stockholder value and align the interests of executive officers with the stockholders. The size of
an initial option grant to an executive officer has generally been determined with reference to similarly-sized high technology companies in the
relevant geographic area for similar positions, the responsibilities and future contributions of the executive officer, as well as recruitment and
retention considerations. See also Stock Options Granted in Fiscal Year 2004 above.
Chief Executive Officer Compensation
The committee annually reviews the performance and
compensation of Mr. Hobbs. Mr. Hobbs has served as the Companys president and chief executive officer since June 2002. The compensation of Mr.
Hobbs is largely based upon the same criteria as that applicable to the other executive officers of the Company although the committee added a number
of performance criteria to Mr. Hobbs option grants not typical of options granted to other executive officers. In addition to base compensation,
Mr. Hobbs received a signing bonus of $200,000 upon execution of his Employment Agreement with the Company in June 2002. Mr. Hobbs was also issued an
immediately exercisable restricted stock option to purchase up to 1,500,000 shares of the Companys common stock at $0.59 per share. The option is
fully exercisable from the time of grant, subject to the Companys right to repurchase any unvested shares at the original exercise price in the
event of Mr. Hobbs termination. The option shares vest as follows: 700,000 shares vest over four years, with 25 percent vesting after 12 months
from the date of grant and then vesting monthly thereafter; 400,000 shares vest on the seventh anniversary of the date of grant, with acceleration for
meeting certain operating plan criteria, including revenue and net income objectives; and 400,000 shares vest on the seventh anniversary of the date of
grant, with acceleration for meeting certain stock price targets. Mr. Hobbs exercised the option with respect to 525,000 shares and paid for the shares
by issuing the Company a full recourse promissory note in the aggregate principal amount of $309,750 with interest accruing at the rate of 4.75 percent
per annum. The note was fully paid in January 2004. While the chief executive officer makes recommendations about the
28
compensation levels, goals and performance of the other executive officers, he does
not participate in discussions regarding his own compensation or performance. On September 30, 2003, the Board agreed to increase Mr. Hobbs
annual salary to $350,000, retroactive to June 14, 2003, the anniversary of Mr. Hobbs employment with the Company, based on Mr. Hobbs performance
as chief executive officer.

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE OF THE INTELLISYNC BOARD OF DIRECTORS
The following is the report of the audit committee

consolidated financial statements in the Annual Report, including a discussion of the quality, not just the acceptability, of the accounting
principles, the reasonableness of significant judgments and the clarity of disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Management represented
to the audit committee that the Companys consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles. The audit committee has discussed with PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, the Companys independent registered public accounting firm, the
matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, Communication with Audit Committees, including, among other items, matters
related to the conduct of the audit of the Companys financial statements. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP has provided to the audit committee the
written disclosures and the letter required by Independent Standards Board Standard No. 1, Independence Discussions with Audit Committees,
and the audit committee has discussed with PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP its independence from the Company.
Conclusion
Based upon the reviews and discussions referred to
above, the audit committee recommended that the Board include the audited consolidated financial statements in the Companys Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended July 31, 2004, as filed with the SEC.

CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS
The Companys certificate of incorporation
limits the liability of its directors for monetary damages arising from a breach of their fiduciary duty as directors, except to the extent otherwise
required by the Delaware law. Such limitation of liability does not affect the availability of equitable remedies such as injunctive relief or
rescission.
The Companys bylaws provide that the Company
shall indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law, including in circumstances in which indemnification is
otherwise discretionary under Delaware law. The Company has also entered into indemnification agreements with its officers and directors containing
provisions that may require the Company, among other things, to indemnify such officers and directors against certain liabilities that may arise by
reason of their status or service as directors or officers (other than liabilities arising from willful misconduct of a culpable nature), to advance
their expenses incurred as a result of any proceeding against them as to which they could be indemnified, and to obtain directors, and officers
insurance if available on reasonable terms.
The Companys general counsel, Richard Mosher,
an employee of the Company, is the son-in-law of Michael Praisner, a member of the Board, chairman of the audit committee and a member of the
compensation committee. Mr. Moshers annual total compensation in fiscal 2004 was $145,833.00. Additionally, during fiscal 2004, Mr. Mosher was
granted options to purchase a total of 25,000 shares of the Companys common stock. Mr. Moshers employment with the Company pre-dates the
election of Mr. Praisner to the Board. Mr. Praisner has not been involved in any decisions regarding Mr. Moshers compensation or stock option
grants.

Appendix A
INTELLISYNC CORPORATION
2002 STOCK OPTION PLAN,
as amended by the Board of Directors on August 25,
2004
1. Purpose. Intellisync Corporation 2002 Stock Option Plan, as amended (the 2002 Plan)
is established to attract, retain and reward persons providing services to Intellisync Corporation and any successor corporation thereto (collectively
referred to as the Company), and any Parent and/or Subsidiary (all of whom along with the Company being individually referred to as
a Participating Company and collectively referred to as the Participating Company Group), and to motivate such
persons to contribute to the growth and profits of the Participating Company Group in the future. For purposes of the 2002 Plan, a parent corporation
and a subsidiary corporation shall be as defined in sections 424(e) and 424(f) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
Code).
Capitalized terms not defined in the test of the
2002 Plan are defined as set forth in Section 15 below.
2. Administration. The 2002 Plan shall be administered by the Board of Directors of the Company (the
Board) and/or by one or more duly appointed committees (collectively, the Committee) of the Board having such
powers as shall be specified by the Board. The composition of, and authority delegated to, the Committee shall conform to any mandatory requirements of
the Applicable Laws. Subsequent references herein to the Board shall also mean the Committee if such Committee has been appointed and, unless the
powers of the Committee have been specifically limited, the Committee shall have all of the powers of the Board granted herein, including, without
limitation, the power to terminate or amend the 2002 Plan at any time, subject to the terms of the 2002 Plan and any limitations imposed by the
Applicable Laws. If permitted by the Applicable Laws, the Board may authorize one or more officers to make awards under the 2002 Plan, within such
limits as the Board may specify in connection with such grant of authority.
All questions of interpretation of the 2002 Plan or
of any options granted under the 2002 Plan (an Option) shall be determined by the Board, and such determinations shall be final and
binding upon all persons having an interest in the 2002 Plan and/or any Option. Options may be either incentive stock options as defined in section 422
of the Code (Incentive Stock Options) or nonqualified stock options. Any officer of a Participating Company shall have the authority
to act on behalf of the Company with respect to any matter, right, obligation, or election which is the responsibility of or which is allocated to the
Company herein, provided the officer has apparent authority with respect to such matter, right, obligation, or election.
3. Eligibility and Consequences of
Participation in 2002 Plan.
(a) Eligibility. Options may be granted only to employees (including officers and directors who are
also employees) and directors of the Participating Company Group or to individuals who are rendering services as consultants of or advisors to the
Participating Company Group. The Board shall, in its sole discretion, determine which persons shall be granted Options. A director of the Company may
only be granted a nonqualified stock option unless the director is also an employee of the Company. An individual who is rendering services as a
consultant, advisor, or other independent contractor may only be granted a nonqualified stock option. Eligible persons may be granted more than one (1)
Option.
(b) Rights as
Stockholder. Until the issuance of the shares following exercise of an Option (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the
books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company), no right to vote or receive dividends or any other rights as a stockholder
shall exist with respect to the shares of Stock subject to an Option.
(c) No Employment
Rights. The 2002 Plan shall not confer upon any Optionee any right with respect to continuation of an employment or
consulting relationship with the Company, nor shall it interfere in any way with such participants right or the Companys right to terminate
the employment or consulting relationship at any time for any reason.
A-1
4. Shares Subject to Options; Limitation on
Awards to Employees.
(a) Options shall be
for the purchase of shares of the authorized but unissued, or reacquired (treasury) common stock of the Company (the Stock), subject
to adjustment as provided in Section 9 below. The maximum number of shares of Stock which may be issued under the 2002 Plan shall be eight million
seven hundred seventy five thousand (8,775,000) shares. In the event that any outstanding Option for any reason expires or is terminated or canceled,
the shares allocable to the unexercised portion of such Option may again be subject to an Option grant.
(b) Subject to
adjustment as provided in Section 9 below, the maximum number of shares of Stock that may be subject to Options granted to any one employee for any
fiscal year of the Company shall not be more than two million two hundred and seventy five thousand (2,275,000) shares of Stock which may be issued
under the 2002 Plan.
5. Time for Granting
Options. All Options shall be granted, if at all, within ten (10) years from the earlier of the date the 2002 Plan is
adopted by the Board or the date the 2002 Plan is duly approved by the stockholders of the Company.
6. Terms, Conditions and Form of
Options. Subject to the provisions of the 2002 Plan, the Board shall determine for each Option (which need not be identical)
the number of shares of Stock for which the Option shall be granted, the option exercise price of the Option, the timing and terms of exercisability
and vesting of the Option, whether the Option is to be treated as an Incentive Stock Option or as a nonqualified stock option and all other terms and
conditions of the Option not inconsistent with the 2002 Plan. Options granted pursuant to the 2002 Plan shall be evidenced by written agreements
specifying the number of shares of Stock covered thereby, in such form as the Board shall from time to time establish, which agreements may incorporate
all or any of the terms of the 2002 Plan by reference and shall comply with and be subject to the following terms and conditions:
(a) Option Exercise
Price. The option exercise price for each Option shall be established in the sole discretion of the Board; provided,
however, that (i) the option exercise price per share for an Incentive Stock Option shall be not less than the fair market value, as determined by the
Board, of a share of Stock on the date of the granting of the Option, (ii) the option exercise price per share for a nonqualified stock option shall
not be less than eighty-five percent (85%) of the fair market value, as determined by the Board, of a share of Stock on the date of the granting of the
Option and (iii) no Incentive Stock Option granted to an Optionee who at the time the Option is granted owns stock possessing more than ten percent
(10%) of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of a Participating Company within the meaning of section 422(b)(6) of the Code (a
Ten Percent Owner Optionee) shall have an option exercise price per share less than one hundred ten percent (110%) of the fair
market value, as determined by the Board, of a share of Stock on the date of the granting of the Option. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Option
(whether an Incentive Stock Option or a nonqualified stock option) may be granted with an option exercise price lower than the minimum exercise price
set forth above if such Option is granted pursuant to an assumption or substitution for another option in a manner qualifying with the provisions of
section 424(a) of the Code.
(b) Exercise Period
of Options. The Board shall have the power to set the time or times within which each Option shall be exercisable or the
event or events upon the occurrence of which all or a portion of each Option shall be exercisable, including vesting requirements and/or performance
criteria with respect to the Company and/or the Optionee, and the term of each Option; provided, however, that (i) no Option shall be exercisable after
the expiration of ten (10) years after the date such Option is granted, and (ii) no Incentive Stock Option granted to a Ten Percent Owner Optionee
shall be exercisable after the expiration of five (5) years after the date such Option is granted. The Board shall have the discretion to determine
whether and to what extent the vesting of Options shall be tolled during any unpaid leave of absence; provided, however, that in the absence of such
determination, vesting of Options shall be tolled after the thirtieth (30th) calendar day of any such unpaid leave (unless otherwise required by the
Applicable Laws). In the event of military leave, vesting shall toll during any unpaid portion of such leave, provided that, upon a Participants
returning from military leave (under conditions that would entitle him or her to protection upon such return under the Uniform Services Employment and
Reemployment Rights Act), he or she shall be given vesting credit with respect to Options to the same extent as would have applied had the Optionee
continued to provide services to the Company throughout the leave on the same terms as he or she was providing services immediately prior to such
leave.
A-2
(c) Payment of
Option Exercise Price. Payment of the Option exercise price for the number of shares of Stock being purchased pursuant to
any Option shall be made (i) in cash, by check, or cash equivalent; (ii) by tender to the Company of shares of the Companys stock owned by the
Optionee having a value, as determined by the Board (but without regard to any restrictions on transferability applicable to such stock by reason of
federal or state securities laws or agreements with an underwriter for the Company) not less than the aggregate exercise price of the Option shares
being exercised, provided that in the case of Shares acquired, directly or indirectly, from the Company, such Shares must have been owned by the
Optionee for more than six months on the date of tender (or such other period as may be required to avoid the Companys incurring an adverse
accounting charge); (iii) by the assignment of the proceeds of a sale of some or all of the shares being acquired upon the exercise of the Option
(including, without limitation, through an exercise complying with the provisions of Regulation T as promulgated from time to time by the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System); (iv) any other method permissible under the Applicable Laws, or (v) by any combination of the foregoing
methods. The Board may at any time or from time to time, by adoption of or by amendment to either of the standard forms of stock option agreement
described in Section 7 below, or by other means, grant Options which do not permit all of the foregoing forms of consideration to be used in payment of
the Option exercise price and/or which otherwise restrict one (1) or more forms of consideration. The Company reserves, at any and all times, the
right, in the Companys sole and absolute discretion, to establish, decline to approve and/or terminate any program and/or procedures for the
exercise of Options by means of an assignment of the proceeds of a sale of some or all of the shares of Stock to be acquired upon such exercise, and
the Company may, in its sole discretion, refuse to accept a particular form of consideration at the time of any Option exercise if the Board determines
that acceptance of such form is not in the best interests of the Company or its stockholders at such time.
(d) $100,000
Limitation Applicable to Incentive Stock Options. Notwithstanding any designation by the Board of an Option as an
Incentive Stock Option, to the extent that the aggregate fair market value of shares with respect to which Options designated as Incentive Stock
Options are exercisable for the first time by any Optionee during any calendar year (under all plans of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary)
exceeds $100,000, such excess Options shall be treated as nonstatutory stock options. For purposes of this paragraph, Incentive Stock Options shall be
taken into account in the order in which they were granted, and the fair market value of the shares subject to an Incentive Stock Option shall be
determined as of the date of the grant of such Option.
(e) Withholding
Taxes. As a condition of the grant, vesting or exercise of an option, the optionee (or in the case of the optionees
death, the person succeeding to the optionees rights under the option) shall make such arrangements as the administrator may require for the
satisfaction of any applicable federal, state, local or foreign withholding tax obligations that may arise in connection with such grant, vesting or
exercise of the option and the issuance of shares thereunder. The Company shall not be required to issue any shares under the Plan until such
obligations are satisfied. If the Compensation Committee allows the withholding or surrender of shares of Company stock to satisfy an optionees
tax withholding obligations under this paragraph, the administrator shall not allow shares to be withheld in an amount that exceeds the minimum
statutory withholding rates for federal and state tax purposes, including payroll taxes.
7. Standard Forms of Stock Option
Agreement. The Board shall set forth the terms of each Option in a written document (the Stock Option
Agreement), at the time an Option is granted or as otherwise provided for by this Section 7, the form(s) of which shall be approved from time to
time by the Board, including any documents attached to or incorporated into such Option agreement, including, but not limited to, a notice of stock
option grant and a form of exercise notice.
(a) Incentive Stock
Options. Unless otherwise provided for by the Board at the time an Option is granted, an Option designated as an
Incentive Stock Option shall comply with and be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the form of incentive stock option
agreement and the Applicable Laws.
(b) Nonqualified
Stock Options. Unless otherwise provided for by the Board at the time an Option is granted, an Option designated as a
Nonqualified Stock Option shall comply with and be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the form of nonqualified stock option
agreement and the Applicable Laws.
(c) Termination of
Options. The Board shall provide in the applicable form of Option agreement for the treatment of an Option upon termination
of the Optionees service relationship to the Participating Company
A-3
in compliance with the Applicable Laws. Notwithstanding the above, unless the Board
otherwise provides in the applicable Stock Option Agreement, each Option shall terminate as to those shares in which the Optionee is unvested as of the
date of termination of his or her service relationship effective immediately upon such date of termination. Similarly, if the Optionee (or other person
entitled to exercise the Option) does not exercise the Option to the extent entitled within the time period specified in the option agreement, the
Option shall terminate even as to vested shares effective upon the expiration of such period.
8. Authority to Vary
Terms. The Board shall have the authority from time to time to vary the terms of the forms of Stock Option Agreement either
in connection with the grant of an individual Option or in connection with the authorization of a new standard form or forms; provided, however, that
the terms and conditions of such revised or amended standard form or forms of Stock Option Agreement shall be in accordance with the terms of the 2002
Plan and the Applicable Laws. Such authority shall include, but not by way of limitation, the authority to grant Options which are immediately
exercisable subject to the Companys right to repurchase any unvested shares of Stock acquired by an Optionee on exercise of an Option in the
event such Optionees employment with the Participating Company Group is terminated for any reason, with or without cause.
9. Effect of Change in Stock Subject to the
2002 Plan. Subject to any action required under the Applicable Laws by the stockholders of the Company, the number of shares
of Stock covered by each outstanding Option, the numbers of Shares set forth in Section 4(b) above, and the number of Shares of Stock that have been
authorized for issuance under the 2002 Plan but as to which no Option have yet been granted or that have been returned to the 2002 Plan upon
cancellation or expiration of an award, as well as the exercise price per share of outstanding Options, shall be proportionately adjusted for any
increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of Stock resulting from a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, combination,
recapitalization or reclassification of the Common Stock, or any other increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of Stock effected without
receipt of consideration by the Company; provided, however, that conversion of any convertible securities of the Company shall not be deemed to have
been effected without receipt of consideration. Such adjustment shall be made by the Board, whose determination in that respect shall be
final, binding and conclusive. Except as expressly provided herein, no issuance by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities
convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number or price of
shares of Stock subject to an Option.
10. Transfer of Control;
Liquidation. A Transfer of Control shall be deemed to have occurred in the event of (a) a sale of all or
substantially all of the Companys assets, (b) a merger, consolidation or other capital reorganization or transaction of the Company with or into
another corporation, entity or person.
In the event of a Transfer of Control, the Board, in
its sole discretion, may arrange with the surviving, continuing, successor, or purchasing corporation or parent corporation thereof, as the case may be
(the Acquiring Corporation), for the Acquiring Corporation to either assume the Companys rights and obligations under
outstanding Options or substitute options for the Acquiring Corporations stock for such outstanding Options. Any Options which are neither
assumed, substituted for by the Acquiring Corporation in connection with the Transfer of Control, nor exercised as of the date of the Transfer of
Control, shall terminate and cease to be outstanding effective as of the date of the Transfer of Control. In the event of a liquidation or dissolution
of the Company, each Option will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such action, unless otherwise determined by the Board in its sole
discretion.
11. Provision of
Information. The Company shall comply with any requirements of the Applicable Laws relating to provision of financial or
other information about the Company to 2002 Plan participants.
12. Transferability of
Options. During the lifetime of the Optionee, the Option shall be exercisable only by the Optionee. No Incentive Stock
Option shall be assignable or transferable by the Optionee, except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. Subject to the Applicable Laws,
the Board may in its sole discretion, and to the extent reflected in the applicable form of stock option agreement, grant transferable nonstatutory
stock options.
13. Termination or Amendment of the 2002
Plan. The Board may terminate or amend the 2002 Plan or one or more outstanding Options at any time; provided, however, that
without the approval of the Companys stockholders, there shall be (a) no increase in the total number of shares of Stock covered by the 2002 Plan
(except by operation of the provisions of Section 9 above), (b) no change in the class of persons eligible to receive Incentive
A-4
Stock Options and (c) no expansion in the class of persons eligible to receive
nonqualified stock options. In any event, no amendment may adversely affect any then outstanding Option or any unexercised portion thereof, without the
consent of the Optionee, unless such amendment is required to enable an Option designated as an Incentive Stock Option to qualify as an Incentive Stock
Option.
14. Conditions Upon Issuance of
Shares. Notwithstanding any other provision of the 2002 Plan or any stock option agreement entered into by the Company
pursuant to the 2002 Plan, the Company shall not be obligated, and shall have no liability for failure, to issue or deliver any shares under the 2002
Plan unless such issuance or delivery would comply with the Applicable Laws, with such compliance determined by the Company in consultation with its
legal counsel. As a condition to the exercise of an Option, the Company may require the person exercising the award to represent and warrant at the
time of any such exercise that the shares are being purchased only for investment and without any present intention to sell or distribute such shares
if, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, such a representation is required by law or in the best interests of the Company.
15. Definitions. The following definitions apply to terms used in the 2002 Plan:
(a) Applicable Laws means the legal requirements relating to the administration of stock option plans, including
under applicable U.S. state corporate laws, U.S. federal and applicable state securities laws, other U.S. federal and state laws, the Code, any Stock
Exchange rules or regulations and the applicable laws, rules and regulations of any other country or jurisdiction where Options are granted under the
2002 Plan, as such laws, rules, regulations and requirements shall be in place from time to time.
(b) Optionee means any person granted an Option under the 2002 Plan.
(c) Parent means a parent corporation, whether now or hereafter existing, as defined in section
424(e) of the Code, or any successor provision.
(d) Subsidiary means a subsidiary corporation, whether now or hereafter existing, as defined in
section 424(f) of the Code, or any successor provision.
