MAJESCO ENTERTAINMENT COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(In thousands, except share amounts)
1. PRINCIPAL BUSINESS ACTIVITY AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
     Majesco Entertainment Company, together with its wholly owned subsidiary, Majesco Europe Limited (“Majesco” or the “Company”), is a provider of interactive entertainment products. The Company’s offerings include video game software and other digital entertainment products.
     The Company’s products provide it with opportunities to capitalize on the large and growing installed base of interactive entertainment platforms and an increasing number of interactive entertainment enthusiasts. The Company sells its products directly and through resellers, primarily to U.S. retail chains, including Best Buy, GameStop/EB Games, Target, Toys “R” Us and Wal-Mart. Majesco also sells products internationally through partnerships with international publishers. The Company has developed retail and distribution network relationships over its more than 23-year history.
     Majesco provides offerings for most major interactive entertainment hardware platforms, including Nintendo’s Wii, DS, Game Boy Advance, or GBA, Sony’s PlayStation 3, or PS3, PlayStation 2, or PS2, and PlayStation Portable, or PSP, Microsoft’s Xbox and Xbox 360, and the personal computer, or PC.
     Majesco’s offerings include video game software and other digital entertainment products. The Company’s operations involve similar products and customers worldwide. These products are developed and sold domestically and internationally. The Company is centrally managed and the chief operating decision makers, the chief executive and other officers, use consolidated and other financial information supplemented by sales information by product category, major product title and platform for making operational decisions and assessing financial performance. Accordingly, the Company operates in a single segment. Net sales by geographic region were as follows:
                                                                 
    Three Months Ended April 30,     Six Months Ended April 30,  
    2009     %     2008     %     2009     %     2008     %  
United States
  $ 20,275       98.7 %   $ 11,366       89.0 %   $ 52,020       97.5 %   $ 29,811       94.8 %
Europe
    273       1.3 %     1,409       11.0 %     1,348       2.5 %     1,628       5.2 %
 
                                               
Total
  $ 20,548       100.0 %   $ 12,775       100.0 %   $ 53,368       100.0 %   $ 31,439       100.0 %
 
                                               
     The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company are unaudited, but in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim period. Accordingly, they do not include all information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. The Company’s financial results are impacted by the seasonality of the retail selling season and the timing of the release of new titles. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the entire fiscal year. The balance sheet at October 31, 2008 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes for the year ended October 31, 2008 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 10-K on January 29, 2009.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
     Revenue Recognition. The Company recognizes revenue upon the shipment of its products when: (1) title and the risks and rewards of ownership are transferred; (2) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (3) there are no continuing obligations to the customer; and (4) the collection of related accounts receivable is probable. Certain products are sold to customers with a street date (the earliest date these products may be resold by retailers). Revenue for sales of these products is not recognized prior to their street date. Some of the Company’s software products provide limited online features at no additional cost to the consumer. Generally, such features have been considered to be incidental to the Company’s overall product offerings and an inconsequential deliverable. Accordingly, the Company does not defer any revenue related to products containing these limited online features. However, in instances where online features or additional functionality is considered a substantive deliverable in addition to the software product, such characteristics will be taken into account when applying the Company’s revenue recognition policy.
     Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities or the disclosure of gain or loss contingencies at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Among the more significant estimates included in these financial statements are the estimated customer allowances, the valuation of inventory and the recoverability of advance payments for software development costs and intellectual property licenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
     (Loss) Income Per Share. Basic (loss) income per common share is computed by dividing net (loss) income by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Basic (loss) income per share excludes the impact of unvested shares of restricted stock issued under the Company’s incentive stock compensation plan. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential impact of common stock options and unvested shares of restricted stock issued under the Company’s incentive stock compensation plan, and outstanding common stock purchase warrants. Diluted and basic (loss) income per share for the three months ended April 30, 2009 and the three and six months ended April 30, 2008, are the same because the impact of shares and options issued under the incentive stock compensation plan and common stock purchase warrants are antidilutive after applying the treasury stock method, as is required by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 128 “Earnings per Share.” Diluted earnings per share for the six months ended April 30, 2009 includes the net addition of 213,194 shares representing the impact of 2,187,069 unvested shares of stock outstanding under the Company’s incentive stock compensation plan, after applying the treasury stock method, as previously noted. The table below provides total potential shares outstanding at the end of each reporting period:
                 
    April 30,   April 30,
    2009   2008
Shares issuable under common stock warrants
    2,311,469       2,311,469  
Shares issuable under stock options
    1,352,610       1,113,477

    5,851,148       4,751,604  
 
               
     Recent Accounting Pronouncements. In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements.” This Statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This Statement applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements, the FASB having previously concluded in those accounting pronouncements that fair value is the relevant measurement attribute. Accordingly, this Statement does not require any new fair value measurements. However, for some entities, the application of this Statement will change current practice. This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Management is currently evaluating the effect of this pronouncement on its financial statements.
     In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), “Business Combinations”(“SFAS 141(R)”), which establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer: (a) recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree; (b) recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase; and (c) determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS 141(R) requires contingent consideration to be recognized at its fair value on the acquisition date and, for certain arrangements, changes in fair value to be recognized in earnings until settled. SFAS 141(R) also requires acquisition-related transaction and restructuring costs to be expensed rather than treated as part of the cost of the acquisition. SFAS 141(R) applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008 and will impact the Company’s financial statements only in the event of such a business combination.

     In December 2007, FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements an Amendment of ARB No. 51” (“SFAS 160”), which establishes accounting and reporting standards for the non-controlling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. SFAS 160 clarifies that a non-controlling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. SFAS 160 also requires consolidated net income to be reported at amounts that include the amounts attributable to both the parent and the non-controlling interest. It also requires disclosure, on the face of the consolidated statement of income, of the amounts of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the non-controlling interest. SFAS 160 also provides guidance when a subsidiary is deconsolidated and requires expanded disclosures in the consolidated financial statements that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent’s owners and the interests of the noncontrolling owners of a subsidiary. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Management believes this Statement will have no impact on the financial statements of the Company once adopted.
     In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures About Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”, which amends and expands the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 133 “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” with the intent to provide users of financial statements with an enhanced understanding of how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, how the derivative instruments and the related hedged items are accounted for and how the related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, performance and cash flows. This Statement is effective for financial statements for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. Management believes this Statement will have no impact on the financial statements of the Company once adopted.
     In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (“FAS 162”). SFAS 162 is intended to improve financial reporting by identifying a consistent framework, or hierarchy, for selecting accounting principles to be used in preparing financial statements that are presented in conformity with GAAP for nongovernmental entities. SFAS 162 is effective 60 days following the SEC’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, “The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.” Management does not expect the adoption of this Statement to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
     In April 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS 142-3, “Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets” (“FSP 142-3”). FSP 142-3 amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (“SFAS 142”). This change is intended to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS 142 and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under FAS 141R and other GAAP. FSP 142-3 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years, which will be the fiscal year 2010. The requirement for determining useful lives must be applied prospectively to intangible assets acquired after the effective date and the disclosure requirements must be applied prospectively to all intangible assets recognized as of, and subsequent to, the effective date. Management does not expect the adoption of this statement to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
     In June 2008, the FASB ratified Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 07-5, “Determining Whether an Instrument (or Embedded Feature) Is Indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock” (“EITF 07-5”). EITF 07-5 mandates a two-step process for evaluating whether an equity-linked financial instrument or embedded feature is indexed to the entity’s own stock. It is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Management does not expect the adoption of EITF 07-5 will have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.
     In December 2007, the FASB ratified the EITF consensus on EITF Issue No. 07-1, “Accounting for Collaborative Arrangements” that discusses how parties to a collaborative arrangement (which does not establish a legal entity within such arrangement) should account for various activities. The consensus indicates that costs incurred and revenues generated from transactions with third parties (i.e. parties outside of the collaborative arrangement) should be reported by the collaborators on the respective line items in their income statements pursuant to EITF Issue No. 99-19, “Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal Versus Net as an Agent.” Additionally, the consensus provides that income statement characterization of payments between the participation in a collaborative arrangement should be based upon existing authoritative pronouncements; analogy to such pronouncements if not within their scope; or a reasonable, rational, and consistently applied accounting policy election. EITF Issue No. 07-1 is effective for interim or annual reporting periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008.

Management is currently evaluating the potential impact on the Company’s financial statements.
3. INCOME TAXES
     On November 1, 2007 the Company adopted FIN 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — An Interpretation of FASB Statement No.109 ” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 contains a two step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain income tax positions. The first step is to evaluate the uncertain tax position for recognition. Each position is evaluated based on its technical merits and a determination is made whether it is ''more likely than not’’ that the position would be sustained upon examination by a tax authority with full knowledge of the facts and circumstances. No benefit is recognized for a tax position that does not meet the ''more likely than not’’ recognition threshold. The second step is to measure the tax benefit of each position. The tax benefit is the largest amount that is more than 50% likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. Adoption of FIN 48 on November 1, 2007 had no impact on Majesco’s accumulated deficit balance.
     The Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, and in various state and foreign jurisdictions. The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, or non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for years prior to 2004. The Company’s policy is to recognize interest related to unrecognized tax benefits as interest expense and penalties as operating expenses. Accrued interest is insignificant and there are no penalties accrued at April 30, 2009. The Company believes that it has appropriate support for the income tax positions taken and to be taken on its tax and that its accruals for tax liabilities are adequate for all open years based on an assessment of many factors including past experience and interpretations of tax law applied to the facts of each matter.
     Realization of deferred tax assets, including those related to net operating loss carryforwards, are dependent upon future earnings, if any, of which the timing and amount are uncertain. Accordingly, the net deferred tax assets have been fully offset by a valuation allowance. Based upon the Company’s current operating results, management has concluded that it is not more likely than not that such assets will be realized.
     Utilization of the net operating loss carryforwards may be subject to a substantial annual limitation due to the ''change in ownership’’ provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. The annual limitation may result in the expiration of net operating loss carryforwards before utilization. The net operating loss carryforwards for income tax purposes at October 31, 2008 amounts to approximately $73,500 and expires between 2023 and 2027. The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. and various foreign jurisdictions. Income taxes payable approximated $100 at April 30, 2009.
     In November 2008, the Company received proceeds of approximately $1,100 from the sale of the rights to approximately $14,200 of New Jersey state income tax operating loss carryforwards, under the Technology Business Tax Certificate Program administered by the New Jersey Economic Development Authority. The amount represents utilization of approximately 34% of the $4,100 of net operating loss carryforwards available to the Company in the state of New Jersey, prior to the transfer. The amount has been recorded as an income tax benefit during the six months ended April 30, 2009.
     The Company has recorded a provision for federal alternative minimum taxes of $100 for the six months ended April 30, 2009.

          Deferred income consists of the net impact of the deferral of $3,051 of sales, $1,777 of cost of sales, and $96 of shipping and commission costs related to products that were shipped during the quarter, with restrictions on resale by the retailer until the occurrence of a “street date” in the subsequent quarter.
9. WARRANT LIABILITY
     On September 5, 2007, the Company issued warrants in connection with a private placement of its common stock. The warrants entitled the holders to purchase an aggregate of 1,586,668 shares of common stock. The warrants have an exercise price of $2.04 per share and a term of five years, which began six months from the issue date. The warrants contain a provision that may require settlement by transferring assets under certain change of control circumstances. Therefore, they are classified as liabilities at October 31, 2007 in accordance with SFAS No. 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity”, and FASB Staff Position 150-1 “Issuers Accounting for Freestanding Financial Instruments Composed of More Than One option or Forward Contract Embodying Obligations under FASB Statement 150.
     The Company measures the fair value of the warrants at each balance sheet date, and records the change in fair value as a non-cash charge or gain to earnings each period. The warrants were valued at $1,200 and $200 at April 30, 2009 and October 31, 2008, respectively, primarily due to fluctuations in the Company’s stock price. This resulted in a non-cash charge of $900 and $1,000 due to the change in fair value of warrants during the three and six months ended April 30, 2009, and a gain due to the change in fair value of warrants of $100 and $600 for the three and six months ended April 30, 2008. The Company used the Black Scholes method to value the warrants, assuming volatility ranging from 63.2% to 76.0% and a cost of capital ranging from 1.85% to 4.16%.
10. STOCKHOLDERS EQUITY
     Changes to stockholders equity includes an addition to common stock and paid in capital of $1,250 for the issuance of one million shares of common stock related to the settlement of litigation, and $162 related to the issuance of 130,000 shares of common stock related to the settlement of legal expenses reimbursable under an indemnification agreement (see commitment and contingencies below).
11. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
     The components of comprehensive (loss) income for the three and six month periods ended April 30, 2009 and 2008, are summarized as follows:

12. CONTINGENCIES AND COMMITMENTS
Commitments
     At April 30, 2009, the Company was committed under agreements with certain developers for future milestone and license fee payments aggregating $7,200 which are payable within one year from the balance sheet date. Milestone payments represent scheduled installments due to the Company’s developers based upon the developers providing the Company certain deliverables, as predetermined in the Company’s contracts. The milestone payments generally represent advances against royalties to the developers. These payments will be used to reduce future royalties due to the developers from sales of the Company’s video games.
     The Company has entered into “at will” employment agreements with certain key executives. These employment agreements include provisions for, among other things, annual compensation, bonus arrangements and equity compensation. These agreements also contain provisions related to severance terms and change of control provisions.

     On September 27, 2007, the Company entered into settlement agreements to settle certain litigations pending in the United States District Court, District of New Jersey: (i) a securities class action brought on behalf of a purported class of purchasers of the Company’s securities; (ii) a private securities action filed by Trinad Capital Master Fund, Ltd.; and (iii) a second action filed by Trinad purportedly on behalf of the Company. All three actions are now concluded.
     In January 2009, the Company entered into an amendment to the securities class action settlement agreement. Under the terms of the settlement agreement in the securities class action, as amended, the Company agreed to make cash payments totaling $700 in three installments. The first two payments were made in January and February 2009, and the last payment was made in May 2009. The Company also contributed one million shares of its common stock to the settlement fund. The Company’s insurance carrier also contributed a cash payment.
     On February 23, 2009, the settlement was approved by the Court, and the class action was dismissed. The dismissal is no longer subject to appeal. The settlement administrator distributed the shares and cash to eligible settlement claimants in May 2009 and the matter is now closed.
     Under the terms of the settlement of the private securities claim in the action brought by Trinad, on its own behalf, the Company’s insurance carrier made a cash payment to Trinad. The Court dismissed this action on February 23, 2009 and the matter is now closed.
     The settlement agreement in the action filed by Trinad, purportedly on behalf of the Company, did not result in a payment to the Company, and Plaintiff’s attorneys did not receive any fees in connection with the settlement. This settlement was approved by the Court, and the Court dismissed the action on May 12, 2009. The dismissal is no longer subject to appeal and the matter is now closed.
     The Company recorded aggregate expense of $1,950 under the amended settlement agreements, reflecting $700 in cash payments, and the $1,250 fair value of common stock, on its date of issuance, March 30, 2009.
     The Company originally recorded an accrual equal to the $2,500 fair value of common stock to be issued under the settlement agreement on the date of its execution, September 27, 2009. The accrual was adjusted each quarter to reflect the change in the value of shares to be issued under the agreement. This adjustment resulted in a gain of $322 for the six months ended April 30, 2008. The accrual was further adjusted at October 31, 2008 to $1,250 reflecting the $700 in cash payments, and $0.55 per share fair value of one million shares of common stock to be issued under the revised settlement agreement at that date. The share based portion of the accrual was adjusted to the fair value of the shares to be issued, at each balance sheet date thereafter, until their issuance on March 30, 2009. The fair value of the shares on date of issuance was $1,250 ($1.25 per share), resulting in expense of $560 and $700 for the three and six months ended April 30, 2009.
     Additionally, on March 30, 2009, the Company issued 130,000 shares of common stock, with a fair value of $162, to a group of underwriters named as defendants in the class action litigation, in payment of $458 in legal fees for which the Company was responsible under an indemnification agreement. The gain of $296 resulting from the difference between the fair value of the stock issued and the legal expenses, which had been recorded as general and administrative expenses during prior periods, was included in Settlement of Litigation and related charges, net, for the three and six months ended April 30, 2009.
     The Company at times may be a party to other routine claims and suits in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, after consultation with legal counsel, the outcome of such routine claims will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, and results of operations or liquidity.
13. RELATED PARTIES
     The Company currently has an agreement with Morris Sutton, the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer and Chairman Emeritus, under which he provides services as a consultant. The agreement provides for a monthly retainer of $13, effective January 1, 2009, and a commission equal to 2% of sales to certain specified accounts. Consulting expenses for the six months ended April 30, 2009 include $28 of fees earned in each of November and December of 2008 under Mr. Sutton’s prior agreement which expired December 31, 2008.
     The following table summarizes expense to Morris Sutton:

     The Company had accounts payable and accrued expenses of approximately $17 and $30 as of April 30, 2009 and October 31, 2008, respectively, due to Morris Sutton.
     The Company previously received printing and packaging services from a business of which the brother of Morris Sutton, the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer and Chairman Emeritus, and uncle of Jesse Sutton, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, is a principal. During the three months ended January 31, 2008, the Company was charged $100 for these services. No charges were incurred for these services for the three and six months ended April 30, 2009. These charges are included in product costs in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. Such charges were, to the Company’s knowledge, on terms no less favorable to those that would be incurred in arm’s length transactions with other providers of similar services.
14. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
          On May 1, 2009 the Company extended the lease at its existing offices in Edison, New Jersey from its original expiration date of October 31, 2009 to January 31, 2015. Annual rental payments under the lease are approximately $300.
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
     The statements contained in this Report on Form 10-Q that are not purely historical are forward-looking information and statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These include statements regarding management’s expectations, intentions, or strategies regarding future matters. All forward-looking statements included in this document are based on available information as of the date hereof. It is important to note that actual results could differ materially from those projected in such forward-looking statements contained in this Report on Form 10-Q. The forward-looking statements contained herein are based on current expectations that involve numerous risks and uncertainties. Assumptions relating to the foregoing involve judgments regarding among other things, the Company’s ability to secure financing or investment for capital expenditures, future economic and competitive market conditions, and future business decisions. All these matters are difficult or impossible to predict accurately, many of which may be beyond Majesco’s control. Although management believes that the assumptions underlying our forward-looking statements are reasonable, any of the assumptions could be inaccurate and, therefore, there can be no assurance that the forward-looking statements included in this Report on Form 10-Q will prove to be accurate.
Overview
     We are a provider of interactive entertainment products. We sell our products primarily to large retail chains, specialty retail stores, video game rental outlets and distributors. We also sell our products internationally through distribution agreements with other publishers. We have developed our retail and distribution network over our 23-year history.
     We publish video game software for most major interactive entertainment hardware platforms, including Nintendo’s Wii, Game Boy Advance, or GBA, DS, Sony’s PlayStation 3, or PS3, PlayStation 2, or PS2, and PlayStation Portable, or PSP, Microsoft’s Xbox, Xbox 360, the personal computer, or PC, and other mobile devices.
     Our video game titles are targeted at various demographics at a range of price points, from lower-priced “value” titles to more expensive “premium” titles. In some instances, these titles are based on licenses of well known properties, and in other cases based on original properties. We collaborate and enter into agreements with content providers and video game development studios for the creation of the majority of our video games.
     Our business model and product strategy is primarily focused on games with relatively lower development costs for both console and handheld systems targeting “mass-market” consumers. We believe this strategy allows us to capitalize on our strengths and expertise while

13


Table of Contents

reducing some of the cost and risk associated with publishing a large number of premium console titles. We continue to publish titles for popular handheld systems such as the DS and PSP. We also publish software for Nintendo’s Wii console, as we believe this platform allows us to develop games within our cost parameters, while enabling us to reach mass-market consumers. In addition, we continue to look opportunistically for titles to publish on the PC and other home console systems.
     Since February 2006, the distribution of our video games in Europe and the PAL territories has been handled via distribution agreements with third-party publishers. The distribution agreements gave exclusive distribution rights for the majority of our games for which we have the ability to sell in the territory and included a minimum guarantee from the distributor for purchases of those games. Since April 2009, we have been implementing a strategy to arrange for distribution on a country-by-country or regional basis, or in some cases to sell directly to retail. We expect to be able to establish better control and profitability over the long term through a more direct distribution strategy. However, we may experience higher volatilty in operating results due to factors such as sales demand, price protection and allowances, and inventory costs as we implement the strategy.
     We license rights to intellectual property used in our video games from third parties and work with third-party development studios to develop our own proprietary video game titles. In 2007, we began developing some of our video games internally. However, we expect to continue to use third-party studios for the significant majority of our video game development.
     Net Revenues. Our revenues are principally derived from sales of our video games. We primarily provide video games for the mass market and casual game player. Our revenues are recognized net of estimated reserves for price protection and other allowances.
     Cost of Sales. Cost of sales consists of product costs and amortization of software development costs and license fees. A significant component of our cost of sales is product costs. These are comprised primarily of manufacturing and packaging costs of the disc or cartridge media, royalties to the platform manufacturer and manufacturing and packaging costs of peripherals. Commencing upon the related product’s release, capitalized software development and intellectual property license costs are amortized to cost of sales.
     Gross Profit. Gross profit is the excess of net revenues over product costs and amortization of software development and license fees. Development and license fees incurred to produce video games are generally incurred up front and amortized to cost of sales. The recovery of these costs and total gross profit is dependent upon achieving a certain sales volume, which varies by title. Our value titles are generally characterized as having lower gross profit margin potential than premium titles as a result of their lower sales price and, carry lower financial risk associated with the recovery of upfront development and license fees as compared with premium game titles.
     Product Research and Development Expenses. Product research and development expenses relate principally to our cost of supervision of third party video game developers, testing new products and conducting quality assurance evaluations during the development cycle as well as costs incurred at our development studio, or outside studios, that are not allocated to games for which technological feasibility has been established. Costs incurred are employee-related, may include equipment, and are not allocated to cost of sales.
     Selling and Marketing Expenses. Selling and marketing expenses consist of marketing, advertising and promotion expenses, the cost of shipping products to customers and related employee costs. A component of these expenses is credits to retailers for trade advertising.
     General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses primarily represent employee related costs, including corporate executive and support staff, general office expenses, professional fees and various other overhead charges. Professional fees, including legal and accounting expenses, typically represent the second largest component of our general and administrative expenses. These fees are partially attributable to our required activities as a publicly traded company, such as SEC filings.
     Interest and Financing Costs. Interest and financing costs are directly attributable to our factoring and our purchase-order financing arrangements.
     Provision (Benefit) for Income Taxes. Utilization of our net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards may be subject to a substantial annual limitation due to the “change in ownership” provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. The annual limitation may result in the expiration of net operating loss carryforwards before utilization. Due to our history of losses, a valuation allowance sufficient to offset our NOL fully and

14


Table of Contents

other deferred tax assets has been established under the provisions of SFAS No. 109 “Accounting for Income Taxes”, and this valuation allowance will be maintained until sufficient positive evidence exists to support its reversal.
Seasonality and Variations in Interim Quarterly Results
     Our quarterly net revenues, gross profit, and operating income are impacted significantly by the seasonality of the retail selling season, and the timing of the release of new titles. Sales of our catalog and other products are generally higher in the first and fourth quarters of our fiscal year (ending January 31 and October 31, respectively) due to increased retail sales during the holiday season. Sales and gross profit as a percentage of sales also generally increase in quarters that we release significant new titles because of increased sales volume as retailers make purchases to stock their shelves and meet initial demand for the new release. These quarters also benefit from the higher selling prices that we are able to achieve early in the product’s life cycle. For example, sales and gross profit during the three months ended January 31, 2009 benefited from strong holiday sales of our existing products, and the release of Cooking Mama: World Kitchen for the Nintendo Wii in November 2008, and Jillian Michaels: Fitness Ultimatum for the Nintendo Wii in October 2008. Therefore, sales results in any one quarter are not necessarily indicative of expected results for subsequent quarters during the fiscal year.
Critical Accounting Policies
     Our discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
     The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
     We have identified the policies below as critical to our business operations and to the understanding of our financial results. The impact and any associated risks related to these policies on our business operations is discussed throughout management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations where such policies affect our reported and expected financial results.
     Revenue Recognition. We recognize revenue upon the shipment of our product when: (1) risks and rewards of ownership are transferred; (2) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (3) we have no continuing obligations to the customer; and (4) the collection of related accounts receivable is probable. Certain products are sold to customers with a street date (the earliest date these products may be resold by retailers). Revenue for sales of these products is not recognized prior to their street date. Some of our software products provide limited online features at no additional cost to the consumer. Generally, we have considered such features to be incidental to our overall product offerings and an inconsequential deliverable. Accordingly, we do not defer any revenue related to products containing these limited online features. However, in instances where online features or additional functionality is considered a substantive deliverable in addition to the software product, such characteristics will be taken into account when applying our revenue recognition policy.
     Reserves for Price Protection and Other Allowances. We generally sell our products on a no-return basis, although in certain instances, we may provide price protection or other allowances on certain unsold products in accordance with industry practices. Price protection, when granted and applicable, allows customers a partial credit with respect to merchandise unsold by them. Revenue is recognized net of estimates of these allowances. Sales incentives and other consideration that represent costs incurred by us for assets or services received, such as the appearance of our products in a customer’s national circular advertisement, are generally reflected as selling and marketing expenses. We estimate potential future product price protection and other discounts related to current period product revenue. Generally, our price protection for premium-priced titles is higher than that needed for our value titles.
     Our reserves for price protection and other allowances fluctuate over periods as a result of a number of factors including analysis of historical experience, current sell-through of retailer inventory of our products, current trends in the interactive entertainment market, the overall economy, changes in customer demand and acceptance of our products and other related factors. Significant management judgments and estimates must be made and used in connection with establishing the allowance for returns and price protection in any accounting period. However, actual allowances granted could materially exceed our estimates as unsold products in the distribution channels are exposed to rapid changes in consumer preferences, market conditions, technological obsolescence due to new platforms, product updates or competing products. For example, the risk of requests for allowances may increase as consoles pass the midpoint of their lifecycle and an increasing number of

15


Table of Contents

competitive products heighten pricing and competitive pressures. While management believes it can make reliable estimates regarding these matters, these estimates are inherently subjective. Accordingly, if our estimates change, this will result in a change in our reserves, which would impact the net revenues and/or selling and marketing expenses we report. We provided allowances for future price protection and other allowances of $0.5 and $1.1 million for the three and six month periods ended April 30, 2009, respectively, and $0.7 and $1.7 million for the three and six month periods ended April 30, 2008, respectively. The fluctuations in the provisions reflected our estimates of future price protection based on the factors discussed above. We limit our exposure to credit risk by factoring the majority of our receivables to a third party that generally buys our receivables without recourse.
     Software Development Costs and Prepaid License Fees. We account for software development costs in accordance with SFAS No. 86, “Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed”. Software development costs include development fees, in the form of milestone payments made to independent software developers, and direct payroll and overhead costs for our internal development studio. Software development costs are capitalized once technological feasibility of a product is established and management expects such costs to be recoverable against future revenues. For products where proven game engine technology exists, this may occur early in the development cycle. Technological feasibility is evaluated on a product-by-product basis. Amounts related to software development that are not capitalized are charged immediately to product research and development costs. Commencing upon a related product’s release capitalized software development costs are amortized to cost of sales based upon the higher of (i) the ratio of current revenue to total projected revenue or (ii) straight-line charges over the expected marketable life of the product.
     Prepaid license fees represent license fees to holders for the use of their intellectual property rights in the development of our products. Minimum guaranteed royalty payments for intellectual property licenses are initially recorded as an asset (prepaid license fees) and a current liability (accrued royalties payable) at the contractual amount upon execution of the contract or when specified milestones or events occur and when no significant performance remains with the licensor. Capitalized software development costs and prepaid license fees classified as non-current relate to titles for which we estimate the release date to be more than one year from the balance sheet date. Licenses are expensed to cost of sales at the higher of (1) the contractual royalty rate based on actual sales or (2) an effective rate based upon total projected revenue related to such license.
     When, in management’s estimate, future cash flows will not be sufficient to recover previously capitalized costs, we expense these capitalized costs to cost of sales—software development costs and license fees. If a game project is cancelled before its completion and release we record an expense to general and administrative expenses. If we incur costs related to games for which technological feasibility has not been established, or there is no known market for the product, we record an expense to research and development expenses. As of April 30, 2009, the net carrying value of our licenses and software development costs was $8.6 million. If we were required to write off licenses, due to changes in market conditions or product acceptance, our results of operations could be materially adversely affected.
     The amortization period for capitalized software development costs and prepaid license fees is usually no longer than one year from the initial release of the product. If actual revenues or revised forecasted revenues fall below the initial forecasted revenue for a particular license, the charge to cost of sales may be larger than anticipated in any given quarter. The recoverability of capitalized software development costs and prepaid license fees is evaluated quarterly based on the expected performance of the specific products to which the costs relate. When, in management’s estimate, future cash flows will not be sufficient to recover previously capitalized costs, we expense these capitalized costs to cost of sales. Significant management judgments and estimates are utilized in the assessment of the recoverability of capitalized costs. In evaluating the recoverability of capitalized costs, the assessment of expected product performance utilizes forecasted sales amounts and estimates of additional costs to be incurred to complete and publish the product.
     Prepaid license fees and milestone payments made to our third-party developers are typically considered non-refundable advances against the total compensation they can earn based upon the sales performance of the products. Any additional royalty or other compensation earned beyond the milestone payments is expensed to cost of sales as incurred.
     Inventory. Inventory, which consists principally of finished goods, is stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined by the first-in, first-out method. We estimate the net realizable value of slow-moving inventory on a title-by-title basis and charge the excess of cost over net realizable value to cost of sales.

     Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share Based Payment” (“SFAS 123(R”). SFAS 123(R) requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values. We adopted SFAS 123(R) on November 1, 2005 using the modified prospective transition method, which requires that compensation cost be recognized for all awards granted, modified or settled after the effective date as well as for all awards granted to employees prior to the effective date that remain unvested as of the effective date.
     Commitments and Contingencies. We account for commitments and contingencies in accordance with SFAS No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies.” We record a liability for commitments and contingencies when the amount is both probable and reasonably estimable.

Results of operations
Three months ended April 30, 2009 versus three months ended April 30, 2008
     Net Revenues. Net revenues for the three months ended April 30, 2009 increased to $20.5 million from $12.8 million in the comparable quarter last year. The $7.7 million increase is primarily due to increased revenue from new releases. Our quarterly net revenues are impacted significantly by the timing of new releases. Net revenues for the three months ended April 30, 2009 include the revenue impact of several releases, most notably Gardening Mama for the Nintendo DS and Major Minor for the Nintendo Wii, released during the current quarter, as well as continued sales of two titles for the Nintendo Wii released during the previous two quarters: Cooking Mama: World Kitchen and Jillian Michaels: Fitness Ultimatum 2009. Net revenues during the same quarter of prior year included one new release, with comparatively lower revenues, Wild Earth: African Safari.
     Gross Profit. Gross profit for the three months ended April 30, 2009 was $6.7 million compared to a gross profit of $4.4 million in the same quarter last year. The increase in gross profit is primarily attributable to the higher net revenues for 2009 discussed above. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales was 32.7% for the three months ended April 30, 2009 compared to 34.7% for the three months ended April 30, 2008. The decrease in gross profit as a percentage of sales is primarily attributable to higher royalties and amortization of development costs as a percentage of net sales in 2009, as compared to 2008, partially offset by lower manufacturing costs as a percentage of sales.
     Product Research and Development Expenses. Research and development expenses increased $0.7 million to $1.4 million for the three months ended April 30, 2009, from $0.7 million for the comparable period in 2008. The increase is primarily the result of expenses related to our development studio and approximately $0.2 paid to developers for the development of mobile games. During the three months ended April 30, 2008, substantially all of the work performed in the studio was allocated to capitalizable projects. During the three months ended April 30, 2009 no work was attributable to capitalizable projects. After evaluation of the studio’s performance, and changes in the availability and cost of development with our third party partners, we now believe that closing the studio and taking advantage of these external opportunities represents a better value for the Company. Therefore, we plan to reduce our personnel used for internal development during the three months ending July 31, 2009 and expect to incur approximately $0.2 million in severance and lease termination costs.

Development costs for mobile games is recorded as research and development costs because we are currently evaluating opportunities in this market and no significant revenue contribution is expected from current projects.
     Selling and Marketing Expenses. Total selling and marketing expenses were approximately $3.2 million for the three months ended April 30, 2009 compared to $1.9 million for the three months ended April 30, 2008. The increase was due to $1.0 million in television and internet advertising media, and increased commission, order fulfillment and shipping expenses related to increased sales volume. Selling and marketing expense as a percentage of net sales was approximately 15.6% for the three months ended April 30, 2009 and 15.0% for the three months ended April 30, 2008.
     General and Administrative Expenses. For the three month period ended April 30, 2009, general and administrative expenses were $2.4 million, an increase of $0.4 million from $2.0 million in the comparable period in 2008. The increase is primarily due to a $0.3 million expense related to the write-off of capitalized software development costs and license fees for products that were cancelled prior to their commercial release. General and administrative expenses included $0.4 million of non-cash compensation expenses for the three months ended April 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
     Settlement of Litigation Charges. For the three months ended April 30, 2009, settlement of litigation charges is comprised of an expense of $0.6 million related to the change in fair value of one million shares of stock issued in settlement of our class action litigation (see commitments and contingencies discussion below) and a gain on the settlement of legal fees of $0.3 million.
     Operating Loss. Operating loss for the three months ended April 30, 2009 was $0.6 million, compared to an operating loss of $0.3 million for the three months ended April 30, 2008. The increase in operating loss primarily resulted from the increased operating expenses and settlement of litigation charges discussed above, partially offset by the impact of the higher net revenue and gross profit.
     Interest and Financing Costs, Net. Interest and financing costs increased to $0.2 million for the three months ended April 30, 2009 from $0.1 million for the three months ended April 30, 2008. The increase of $0.1 million is the result of higher factoring fees related to sales volume.
     Change in Fair Value of Warrants. On September 5, 2007, we issued warrants in connection with an equity financing. The warrants contain a provision that may require settlement by transferring assets. Therefore, they are recorded at fair value as liabilities in accordance with SFAS No. 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity”, and FASB Staff Position 150-1 “Issuers Accounting for Freestanding Financial Instruments Composed of More Than One Option or Forward Contract Embodying Obligations under FASB Statement 150,” (“FSP 150-1”).
     We recorded an expense of $0.9 million for the three months ended April 30, 2009, reflecting the increase in the fair value of the warrants during the period, compared to income of $0.1 million for the three months ended April 30, 2008, reflecting a decrease in the fair value of warrants during the period.
     Income Taxes. For the three months ended April 30, 2009, we did not provide for any benefit for income taxes because the utilization of operating loss carryforwards can not be assured.
     Net Loss. Net loss for the three months ended April 30, 2009 was $1.7 million, an increase of $1.4 million from net loss of $0.3 million for the comparable period in 2008, primarily due to the increased operating loss and change in fair value of warrants discussed above.
Six months ended April 30, 2009 versus six months ended April 30, 2008
     Net Revenues. Net revenues for the six months ended April 30, 2009 increased to $53.4 million from $31.4 million in the comparable period last year. The $22.0 million increase is primarily due to increased revenue from new releases. Our net revenues are impacted significantly by the timing of new releases. Net revenues for the six months ended April 30, 2009 include the revenues from the release Gardening Mama for the Nintendo DS, as well as Cooking Mama: World Kitchen and Jillian Michaels: Fitness Ultimatum 2009 (released October 2008) for the Nintendo Wii. Significant releases during the prior year were Cooking Mama: Dinner with Friends, for the Nintendo Wii, and Wild Earth: African Safari, for the Nintendo Wii, which generated comparatively lower revenues.

     Gross Profit. Gross profit for the six months ended April 30, 2009 was $18.6 million compared to a gross profit of $11.9 million in the same period last year. The increase in gross profit is primarily attributable to the higher net revenues for 2009 discussed above. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales was 34.8% for the six months ended April 30, 2009 compared to 38.0% for the six months ended April 30, 2008. The decrease in gross profit as a percentage of sales is primarily attributable to higher royalties and amortization of development costs as a percentage of net sales in 2009, as compared to 2008.
     Product Research and Development Expenses. Research and development costs increased $1.1 million to $2.7 million for the six months ended April 30, 2009, from $1.6 million for the comparable period in 2008. The increase is primarily the result of expenses related to our development studio and approximately $0.2 paid to developers for the development of mobile games. During the six months ended April 30, 2009, substantially all of the work performed in the studio was allocated to non-capitalizable projects. After evaluation of the studio’s performance, and changes in the availability and cost of development with our third party partners, we now believe that closing the studio and taking advantage of these external opportunities represents a better value for the Company. Therefore, we plan to reduce our personnel used for internal development during the three months ending July 31, 2009 and expect to incur approximately $0.2 million in severance and lease termination costs Development costs for mobile games is recorded as research and development costs because we are currently evaluating opportunities in this market and no significant revenue contribution is expected from current projects.
     Selling and Marketing Expenses. Total selling and marketing expenses were approximately $7.3 million for the six months ended April 30, 2009 compared to $4.2 million for the six months ended April 30, 2008. The increase was due to approximately $2.3 million in television and internet advertising media, and increased commission, order fulfillment and shipping expenses related to increased sales volume. Selling and marketing expense as a percentage of net sales was approximately 13.7% for the three months ended April 30, 2009 and 13.4% for the three months ended April 30, 2008.
     General and Administrative Expenses. For the six months ended April 30, 2009, general and administrative expenses were $4.9 million, an increase of $0.8 million from $4.1 million in the comparable period in 2008. The increase is primarily due to higher compensation expenses relating to our incentive compensation program and $0.3 million expense related to the write-off of capitalized software development costs and license fees for products that were cancelled prior to their commercial release. This compensation program is primarily based on net income generated by the Company for the fiscal year. General and administrative expenses include $0.8 million of non-cash compensation expenses for the six months ended April 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
     Settlement of Litigation Charges. Settlement of litigation charges is comprised of $0.7 million related to the change in fair value of common stock issued in settlement of our class action securities litigation (see commitments and contingencies discussion below) and a gain on the settlement of legal fees of $0.3 million.
     Operating Income. Operating income for the six months ended April 30, 2009 was $3.1 million, compared to operating income of $2.1 million for the six months ended April 30, 2008. The increase in operating income primarily resulted from the impact of the higher net revenue and gross profit, partially offset by the increased operating expenses and settlement of litigation charges discussed above.
     Interest and Financing Costs, Net. Interest and financing costs increased to $0.7 million for the six months ended April 30, 2009 from $0.3 million for the six months ended April 30, 2008. The increase of $0.4 million is the result of a higher factoring fees related to sales volume.
     Change in Fair Value of Warrants. On September 5, 2007, we issued warrants in connection with an equity financing. The warrants contain a provision that may require settlement by transferring assets. Therefore, they are recorded at fair value as liabilities in accordance with FSP 150-1.
     We recorded an expense of $1.0 million for the six months ended April 30, 2009, reflecting the increase in the fair value of the warrants during the period, compared to income of $0.6 million for the six months ended April 30, 2008, reflecting the decrease in the fair value of warrants during the period.

     Income Taxes. For the six months ended April 30, 2009, income taxes is comprised of a provision for alternative minimum taxes of $0.1 million, and a tax benefit of $1.1 million related to the sale of the rights to certain state net operating loss carryforwards. We recorded no provision for income taxes other than alternative minimum taxes because our net operating loss carryforwards exceeded our taxable income.
     In November 2008, we received proceeds of approximately $1.1 million from the sale of the rights to approximately $14.2 million of New Jersey state income tax net operating loss carryforwards, under the Technology Business Tax Certificate Program administered by the New Jersey Economic Development Authority. The amount represents utilization of approximately 34% of the $41.0 million of net operating loss carryforwards available to the Company in the State of New Jersey, prior to the transfer. The amount has been recorded as an income tax benefit during the period ended April 30, 2009.
     For the six months ended April 30, 2008, we did not provide for any income taxes because our net operating loss carryforwards exceeded our taxable income.
     Net Income. Net income for the six months ended April 30, 2009 was $2.5 million, an increase of $0.1 million from net income of $2.4 million for the comparable period in 2008, primarily due to the increased operating income and change in fair value of warrants discussed above.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
     We generated net income of $3.4 million in our 2008 fiscal year. However, we incurred a net loss of $4.8 million in our 2007 fiscal year. Historically, we have funded our operating losses through sales of our equity and use of our purchase order financing and factor arrangements. We raised approximately $6.0 million in gross proceeds from the sale of our equity securities in September 2007.
     We generated net income of $2.5 million for the six months ended April 30, 2009. Our current plan is to fund our operations through product sales. However, we may be required to modify that plan, or seek outside sources of financing if our operating plan and sales targets are not met. There can be no assurance that such funds will be available on acceptable terms, if at all. In the event that we are unable to negotiate alternative financing, or negotiate terms that are acceptable to us, we may be forced to modify our business plan materially, including making reductions in game development and other expenditures. Management believes it can operate under the existing level of financing for at least one year. However, if the current level of financing was reduced and we were unable to obtain alternative financing, it could create a material adverse change in the business.
     While our cash and cash equivalents balance was $10.3 million as of April 30, 2009, we expect continued fluctuations in the use and availability of cash due to the seasonality of our business, timing of receivables collections and working capital needs necessary to finance our business and growth objectives.
     To provide liquidity, we factor our receivables. We also utilize purchase order financing through the factor and through a finance company to provide funding for the manufacture of our products. In connection with these arrangements, the finance company and the factor have a security interest in substantially all of our assets.
     Under our factoring agreement we have the ability to take cash advances against accounts receivable and inventory of up to $20.0 million, and the availability of up to $2.0 million in letters of credit. The factor, in its sole discretion, can reduce the availability of financing at anytime. In addition, we have $10.0 million of availability for letters of credit and purchase order financing with another lender.
     Factoring and Purchase Order Financing. As mentioned above, to provide liquidity, we take advances from our factor and utilize purchase order financing to fund the manufacturing of our products.
     Under the terms of our factoring agreement, we sell our accounts receivable to the factor. The factor, in its sole discretion, determines whether or not it will accept the credit risk associated with a receivable. If the factor does not accept the credit risk on a receivable, we may sell the accounts receivable to the factor while retaining the credit risk. In both cases we surrender all rights and control over the receivable to the factor. However, in cases where we retain the credit risk, the amount can be charged back to us in the case of non-payment by the customer. The factor is required to remit payments to us for the accounts receivable purchased from us, provided the customer does not have a valid dispute related to the invoice. The amount remitted to us by the factor equals the invoiced amount, adjusted for allowances and discounts we have provided to the customer, less factor charges of 0.45 to 0.5% of the invoiced amount.

     In addition, we may request that the factor provide us with cash advances based on our accounts receivable and inventory. The factor may either accept or reject our request for advances at its discretion. During the three months ended April 30, 2009, the factor allowed us to take advances in an amount equal to 70% of net accounts receivable, plus 30% of our inventory balance. Occasionally the factor allows us to take advances in excess of these amounts for short term working capital needs. These excess amounts are typically repaid within a 30-day period. At April 30, 2009, our cash balance and the balance of advances due to factor included excess advances of an additional $3.5 million.
     Amounts to be paid to us by the factor for any accounts receivable are offset by any amounts previously advanced by the factor. The interest rate is prime plus 1.5%, annually, subject to a 5.5% floor. In certain circumstances, an additional 1% annually is charged for advances against inventory.
     Manufacturers require us to present a letter of credit, or pay cash in advance, in order to manufacture the products required under a purchase order. We utilize letters of credit either from a finance company or our factor. The finance company charges 1.5% of the purchase order amount for each transaction for 30 days, plus administrative fees. Our factor provides purchase order financing at a cost of 0.5% of the purchase order amount for each transaction for 30 days. Additional charges are incurred if letters of credit remain outstanding in excess of the original time period and/or the financing company is not paid at the time the products are received. When our liquidity position allows, we will pay cash in advance instead of utilizing purchase order financing. This results in reduced financing and administrative fees associated with purchase order financing.
     Advances from Customers. On a case by case basis, distributors and other customers have agreed to provide us with cash advances on their orders. These advances are then applied against future sales to these customers. In exchange for these advances, we offer these customers beneficial pricing or other considerations.
     Commitments and Contingencies. We do not currently have any material commitments with respect to any capital expenditures.
     As of April 30, 2009, we had no open letters of credit for inventory purchases to be delivered during the subsequent quarter.
     We are committed under agreements with certain developers and content providers for milestone and license fee payments aggregating $7.2 million, which are payable within one year.
     As of April 30, 2009, we were committed under operating leases for office space for approximately $0.5 million through December 31, 2010.
     On May 1, 2009, we extended the lease at our existing offices in Edison, New Jersey from its original expiration date of October 31, 2009 to January 31, 2015. Annual rental payments under the lease are approximately $300,000, resulting in a total commitment of $1.4 million.
     On September 27, 2007, we entered into settlement agreements to settle certain litigations pending in the United States District Court, District of New Jersey: (i) a securities class action brought on behalf of a purported class of purchasers of the Company’s securities; (ii) a private securities action filed by Trinad Capital Master Fund, Ltd.; and (iii) a second action filed by Trinad purportedly on behalf of the Company. All three actions are now concluded.
     In January 2009, we entered into an amendment to the securities class action settlement agreement. Under the terms of the settlement agreement in the securities class action, as amended, we agreed to make cash payments totaling $700,000 in three installments. The first two payments were made in January and February 2009, and the last payment was made in May 2009. We also contributed one million shares of our common stock to the settlement fund. Our insurance carrier also contributed a cash payment.
     On February 23, 2009, the settlement was approved by the Court, and the class action was dismissed. The dismissal is no longer subject to appeal. The settlement administrator distributed the shares and cash to eligible settlement claimants in May 2009 and the matter is now closed.

Table of Contents

     Under the terms of the settlement of the private securities claim in the action brought by Trinad, on its own behalf, our insurance carrier made a cash payment to Trinad. The Court dismissed this action on February 23, 2009 and the matter is now closed.
     The settlement agreement in the action filed by Trinad, purportedly on behalf of the Company, did not result in a payment to the Company, and Plaintiff’s attorneys did not receive any fees in connection with the settlement. This settlement was approved by the Court, and the Court dismissed the action on May 12, 2009. The dismissal is no longer subject to appeal and the matter is now closed.
     We recorded aggregate expense of $1.95 million under the amended settlement agreements, reflecting $700,000 in cash payments, and $1.25 million fair value of common stock, on its date of issuance, March 30, 2009.
     We originally recorded an accrual equal to the $2.5 million fair value of common stock to be issued under the settlement agreement on the date of its execution, September 27, 2009. The accrual was adjusted each quarter to reflect the change in the value of shares to be issued under the agreement. This adjustment resulted in a gain of $322,000 for the six months ended April 30, 2008. The accrual was further adjusted at October 31, 2008 to $1.25 million reflecting the $700,000 in cash payments, and $0.55 per share fair value of one million shares of common stock to be issued under the revised settlement agreement at that date. The share based portion of the accrual was adjusted to the fair value of the shares to be issued, at each balance sheet date thereafter, until their issuance on March 30, 2009. The fair value of the shares on date of issuance was $1.25 million ($1.25 per share), resulting in expense of $560,000 and $140,000 for the three and six months ended April 30, 2009.
     On March 30, 2009, we issued 130,000 shares of common stock, with a fair value of $162,500, to a group of underwriters named as defendants in the class action litigation, in payment of $458,000 in legal fees for which we were responsible under an indemnification agreement. The gain of $296,000 resulting from the difference between the fair value of the stock issued and the legal expenses, which had been recorded as general and administrative expenses during prior periods, was included in Settlement of Litigation and other expenses, net, for the three months ended April 30, 2009.
     At times, we may be a party to other routine claims and suits in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, after consultation with legal counsel, the outcome of such routine claims would not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, and results of operations or liquidity.
Cash Flows
     Cash and cash equivalents were $10.3 million at April 30, 2009, compared to $5.5 million at October 31, 2008.
     Operating Cash Flows. Cash provided by operating activities during the six months ended April 30, 2009 was approximately $6.4 million compared to $1.1 million for the six months ended April 30, 2008. The increase in cash provided by operating activities is primarily due to increased operating income and working capital resulting from decreased accounts receivable and inventory, and increased accounts payable, partially offset by increased capitalized software development and royalties due to an increase in the number of games in development and increased prepaid expenses due to marketing. We expect continued volatility in the use and availability of cash due to the seasonality of our business, timing of receivables collections and working capital needs necessary to finance our business and growth objectives.
     Investing Cash Flows. Cash used in investing activities for the six months ended April 30, 2009 was approximately $0.1 million, compared to $0.2 million for the six months ended April 30, 2008. Cash used in investing activities consists primarily of purchases of computer equipment and leasehold improvements necessary to accommodate our infrastructure growth.
     Financing Cash Flows. Cash used in financing activities for the six months ended April 30, 2009 was due to a reduction in inventory financing.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
     We are exposed to various market risks, including the changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. Market risk is the potential loss arising from changes in market rates and prices.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
     Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e), as of the end of the period covered by this report.
     In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.
     While we believe our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal control over financial reporting have improved, no system of controls can prevent errors and fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur. Controls can also be circumvented by individual acts of some people, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with its policies or procedures. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
     Subject to the limitations above, management believes that the consolidated financial statements and other financial information contained in this report, fairly present in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented.
     Based on the evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) were effective at a reasonable assurance level. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
          As previously disclosed, in January 2009, the Company entered into an amendment to a securities class action settlement agreement relating to litigation pending in the United States District Court, District of New Jersey. Under the terms of the amended settlement agreement, we made cash payments totaling $700,000 in three installments, two of which were made in January and February 2009, and the last of which was paid in May 2009. We also contributed one million shares of our common stock to the settlement fund. Our insurance carrier also contributed a cash payment to the settlement fund.
          On February 23, 2009, the settlement was approved by the Court, and the class action was dismissed. The dismissal is no longer subject to appeal. The settlement administrator distributed the shares and cash to eligible settlement claimants in May 2009, and the matter is now closed.
          In addition, on February 23, 2009, the Court dismissed the private securities claim in the action brought by Trinad Capital, on its own behalf. Under the terms of this settlement, our insurance carrier made a cash payment to Trinad, and the matter is now closed.
          Finally, the settlement agreement in the action filed by Trinad, purportedly on behalf of the Company, did not result in a payment to the Company, and Plaintiff’s attorneys did not receive any fees in connection with the settlement. This settlement was approved by the Court, and the Court dismissed the action on May 12, 2009. The dismissal is no longer subject to appeal and the matter is now closed.

  2.   PURPOSES OF THE PLAN.
     The Plan is intended to encourage ownership of Shares by Employees and directors of and certain consultants to the Company in order to attract such people, to induce them to work for the benefit of the Company or of an Affiliate and to provide additional incentive for them to promote the success of the Company or of an Affiliate. The Plan provides for the granting of ISOs, Non-Qualified Options, Stock Grants, Stock-Based Awards and Cash Awards.
  3.   SHARES SUBJECT TO THE PLAN.
     (a) The number of Shares which may be issued from time to time pursuant to this Plan shall be 10,642,857, or the equivalent of such number of Shares after the Administrator, in its sole discretion, has interpreted the effect of any future stock split, stock dividend, combination, recapitalization or similar transaction in accordance with Paragraph 25 of the Plan.
     (b) The grant of any Stock Right other than an Option or a Stock Appreciation Right shall for purposes of Paragraph 3(a), reduce the number of Shares available for issuance under this Plan by 1.18 Shares for each such Share actually subject to the Stock Right and shall be deemed for purposes of this Paragraph 3, as a Stock Right of 1.18 Shares for each such Share actually subject to the Stock Right. The grant of an Option or a Stock Appreciation Right shall be deemed for purposes of this Paragraph 3, as a Stock Right for one Share for each such Share actually subject to the Stock Right. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Stock Appreciation Rights to be settled in shares of Common Stock shall be counted in full against the number of Shares available for issuance under the Plan, regardless of the number of exercise gain shares issued upon the settlement of the Stock Appreciation Right.
     (c) If an Option ceases to be “outstanding”, in whole or in part (other than by exercise), or if the Company shall reacquire (at no more than its original issuance price) any Shares issued pursuant to a Stock Grant or Stock Based Award, or if any Stock Right expires or is forfeited, cancelled, or otherwise terminated or results in any Shares not being issued, the unissued Shares which were subject to such Stock Right shall again be available for issuance from time to time pursuant to this Plan and in accordance with the provision of Paragraph 3(b) above. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Stock Right is exercised, in whole or in part, by tender of Shares or if the Company’s tax withholding obligation is satisfied by withholding Shares, the number of Shares deemed to have been issued under the Plan for purposes of the limitation set forth in Paragraph 3(a) above shall be the number of Shares that were subject to the Stock Right or portion thereof, and not the net number of Shares actually issued and any Stock Appreciation Right to be settled in shares of Common Stock shall be counted in full against the number of Shares available for issuance under the Plan, regardless of the number of exercise gain shares issued upon the settlement of the Stock Appreciation Right.
  4.   ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN.
     The Administrator of the Plan will be the Board of Directors, except to the extent the Board of Directors delegates its authority to the Committee, in which case the Committee shall be the Administrator. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Administrator is authorized to:

4


 

  a.   Interpret the provisions of the Plan and all Stock Rights and Cash Awards and make all rules and determinations which it deems necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan;
 
  b.   Determine which Employees, directors and consultants shall be granted Stock Rights and Cash Awards;
 
  c.   Determine the number of Shares for which a Stock Right or Stock Rights shall be granted, provided, however, that in no event shall Stock Rights with respect to more than 1,000,000 Shares be granted to any Participant in any fiscal year. Determine the amount of any Cash Award, provided, however the maximum payment which may become payable to a Participant with respect to a Cash Award in any calendar year is $2,000,000.
 
  d.   Specify the terms and conditions upon which Stock Rights and Cash Awards may be granted; and
 
  e.   Adopt any sub-plans applicable to residents of any specified jurisdiction as it deems necessary or appropriate in order to comply with or take advantage of any tax or other laws applicable to the Company or to Plan Participants or to otherwise facilitate the administration of the Plan, which sub-plans may include additional restrictions or conditions applicable to Cash Awards, Stock Rights or Shares issuable pursuant to a Stock Right.
provided, however, that all such interpretations, rules, determinations, terms and conditions shall be made and prescribed in the context of not causing any adverse tax consequences under Section 409A of the Code and preserving the tax status under Section 422 of the Code of those Options which are designated as ISOs. Subject to the foregoing, the interpretation and construction by the Administrator of any provisions of the Plan or of any Cash Award or Stock Right granted under it shall be final, unless otherwise determined by the Board of Directors, if the Administrator is the Committee. In addition, if the Administrator is the Committee, the Board of Directors may take any action under the Plan that would otherwise be the responsibility of the Committee.
     If permissible under applicable law, the Board of Directors or the Committee may allocate all or any portion of its responsibilities and powers to any one or more of its members and may delegate all or any portion of its responsibilities and powers to any other person selected by it. Any such allocation or delegation may be revoked by the Board of Directors or the Committee at any time.
  5.   ELIGIBILITY FOR PARTICIPATION.
     The Administrator will, in its sole discretion, name the Participants in the Plan, provided, however, that each Participant must be an Employee, director or consultant of the Company or of an Affiliate at the time a Stock Right or Cash Award is granted. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrator may authorize the grant of a Stock Right or Cash Award to a person not then

5


 

an Employee, director or consultant of the Company or of an Affiliate; provided, however, that the actual grant of such Stock Right or Cash Award shall be conditioned upon such person becoming eligible to become a Participant at or prior to the time of the execution of the Agreement evidencing such Stock Right or Cash Award. ISOs may be granted only to Employees. Non-Qualified Options, Stock Grants, Stock-Based Awards and Cash Awards may be granted to any Employee, director or consultant of the Company or an Affiliate. The granting of any Stock Right or Cash Award to any individual shall neither entitle that individual to, nor disqualify him or her from, participation in any other grant of any Stock Right or Cash Award.
  6.   TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF OPTIONS.
     Each Option shall be set forth in writing in an Option Agreement, duly executed by the Company and, to the extent required by law or requested by the Company, by the Participant. The Administrator may provide that Options be granted subject to such terms and conditions, consistent with the terms and conditions specifically required under this Plan, as the Administrator may deem appropriate including, without limitation, subsequent approval by the shareholders of the Company of this Plan or any amendments thereto. The Option Agreements shall be subject to at least the following terms and conditions:
  A.   Non-Qualified Options: Each Option intended to be a Non-Qualified Option shall be subject to the terms and conditions which the Administrator determines to be appropriate and in the best interest of the Company, subject to the following minimum standards for any such Non-Qualified Option:
  a.   Option Price: Each Option Agreement shall state the option price (per share) of the Shares covered by each Option, which option price shall be determined by the Administrator but shall not be less than the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock.
 
  b.   Number of Shares: Each Option Agreement shall state the number of Shares to which it pertains;
 
  c.   Option Periods: Each Option Agreement shall state the date or dates on which it first is exercisable and the date after which it may no longer be exercised, and may provide that the Option rights accrue or become exercisable in installments over a period of months or years, or upon the occurrence of certain conditions or the attainment of stated goals or events including, but not limited to, the Performance Goals; and
 
  d.   Option Conditions: Exercise of any Option may be conditioned upon the Participant’s execution of a Share purchase agreement in form satisfactory to the Administrator providing for certain protections for the Company and its other shareholders, including requirements that:
  i.   The Participant’s or the Participant’s Survivors’ right to sell or transfer the Shares may be restricted; and

6


 

  ii.   The Participant or the Participant’s Survivors may be required to execute letters of investment intent and must also acknowledge that the Shares will bear legends noting any applicable restrictions.
  e.   Each Non-Qualified Option shall terminate not more than seven years from the date of the grant or at such earlier time as the Option Agreement may provide.
  B.   ISOs: Each Option intended to be an ISO shall be issued only to an Employee and be subject to the following terms and conditions, with such additional restrictions or changes as the Administrator determines are appropriate but not in conflict with Section 422 of the Code and relevant regulations and rulings of the Internal Revenue Service:
  a.   Minimum standards: The ISO shall meet the minimum standards required of Non-Qualified Options, as described in Paragraph 6(A) above, except clause (a) thereunder.
 
  b.   Option Price: Immediately before the ISO is granted, if the Participant owns, directly or by reason of the applicable attribution rules in Section 424(d) of the Code:
  i.   10% or less of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or an Affiliate, the Option price per share of the Shares covered by each ISO shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value per share of the Shares on the date of the grant of the Option; or
 
  ii.   More than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or an Affiliate, the Option price per share of the Shares covered by each ISO shall not be less than 110% of the said Fair Market Value on the date of grant.
  c.   Term of Option: For Participants who own:
  i.   10% or less of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or an Affiliate, each ISO shall terminate not more than seven years from the date of the grant or at such earlier time as the Option Agreement may provide; or
 
  ii.   More than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or an Affiliate, each ISO shall terminate not more than five years from the date of the grant or at such earlier time as the Option Agreement may provide.
  d.   Limitation on Yearly Exercise: The Option Agreements shall restrict the amount of ISOs which may become exercisable in any calendar year (under this or any other ISO plan of the Company or an Affiliate) so that

7


 

      the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined at the time each ISO is granted) of the stock with respect to which ISOs are exercisable for the first time by the Participant in any calendar year does not exceed $100,000.
  7.   TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF STOCK GRANTS.
     Each offer of a Stock Grant to a Participant shall state the date prior to which the Stock Grant must be accepted by the Participant, and the principal terms of each Stock Grant shall be set forth in an Agreement, duly executed by the Company and, to the extent required by law or requested by the Company, by the Participant. The Agreement shall be in a form approved by the Administrator and shall contain terms and conditions which the Administrator determines to be appropriate and in the best interest of the Company, subject to the following minimum standards:
  a.   Each Agreement shall state the purchase price (per share), if any, of the Shares covered by each Stock Grant, which purchase price shall be determined by the Administrator but shall not be less than the minimum consideration required by the Delaware General Corporation Law on the date of the grant of the Stock Grant;
 
  b.   Each Agreement shall state the number of Shares to which the Stock Grant pertains; and
 
  c.   Each Agreement shall include the terms of any right of the Company to restrict or reacquire the Shares subject to the Stock Grant, including the time and events upon which such reacquisition rights shall accrue including, but not limited to, the attainment of any Performance Goals, and the purchase price therefor, if any.
  8.   TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF OTHER STOCK-BASED AWARDS.
     The Board shall have the right to grant other Stock-Based Awards based upon the Common Stock having such terms and conditions as the Board may determine, including, without limitation, the grant of Shares based upon certain conditions including, but not limited to, the Performance Goals, the grant of securities convertible into Shares and the grant of Stock Appreciation Rights, phantom stock awards or stock units. The principal terms of each Stock-Based Award shall be set forth in an Agreement, duly executed by the Company and, to the extent required by law or requested by the Company, by the Participant. The Agreement shall be in a form approved by the Administrator and shall contain terms and conditions which the Administrator determines to be appropriate and in the best interest of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Stock Appreciation Right shall (i) have a purchase price which shall not be less than the Fair Market Value per Share of Common Stock and (ii) terminate not more than seven years from the date of the grant or at such earlier time as the Agreement therefor may provide.

8


 

     The Company intends that the Plan and any Stock-Based Awards granted hereunder be exempt from the application of Section 409A of the Code or meet the requirements of paragraphs (2), (3) and (4) of subsection (a) of Section 409A of the Code (and any successor provisions of the Code) and the regulations and other guidance issued thereunder (the “Requirements”), to the extent applicable, and be operated in accordance with such Requirements so that any compensation deferred under any Stock-Based Award (and applicable investment earnings) shall not be included in income under Section 409A of the Code. Any ambiguities in the Plan shall be construed to effect the intent as described in this Paragraph 8.
  9.   TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF CASH AWARDS.
     The Administrator is authorized, subject to limitations under applicable law, to grant to any Participant a Cash Award, including as a short-term incentive bonus award, whether awarded separately or as a supplement to any Stock Right. The Administrator shall determine the terms and conditions of such Cash Awards. The Administrator acting in its absolute discretion may make Cash Awards subject to one or more Performance Goals that the Administrator deems appropriate for Participants generally or for a Participant in particular, and shall establish the Performance Cycle for satisfying the same. If the Cash Award is a short-term incentive bonus that is intended to qualify as “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code, the right to receive such Cash Award shall be conditional upon the achievement of objective Performance Goals that have been established by the Administrator in writing not later than the earlier of (i) 90 days after the beginning of a Performance Cycle and (ii) the date by which no more than 25% of a Performance Cycle has elapsed.
     The Administrator shall certify in writing the extent, if any, to which the Performance Goals for a Performance Cycle of a short-term incentive bonus that is intended to qualify as “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code have been met and shall determine the Cash Award payable to a Participant based on the extent to which he or she met his or her Performance Goals. If the Administrator certifies that a Cash Award is payable to a Participant for any Performance Cycle, such Cash Award shall be paid as soon as practical after such certification has been made, but in no event later than 21/2 months after the end of the calendar year in which the Performance Cycle ends. However, to the extent permitted by applicable law, no Participant shall have a nonforfeitable right to the payment of a bonus for any Performance Cycle if his or her employment with the Company has terminated for any reason whatsoever (other than death, Disability or retirement) before the date the bonus actually is paid. It is intended that a Cash Award be exempt from the application of Section 409A of the Code as a “short-term deferral.”

  10.   EXERCISE OF OPTIONS AND ISSUE OF SHARES.
     An Option (or any part or installment thereof) shall be exercised by giving written notice to the Company or its designee, together with provision for payment of the full purchase price in accordance with this Paragraph for the Shares as to which the Option is being exercised, and upon compliance with any other condition(s) set forth in the Agreement. Such notice shall be signed by the person exercising the Option, shall state the number of Shares with respect to which the Option is being exercised and shall contain any representation required by the Plan or the Agreement. Payment of the purchase price for the Shares as to which such Option is being exercised shall be made (a) in United States dollars in cash or by check, or (b) at the discretion of the Administrator, through delivery of shares of Common Stock having a Fair Market Value equal as of the date of the exercise to the cash exercise price of the Option, or (c) at the discretion of the Administrator, by having the Company retain from the shares otherwise issuable upon exercise of the Option, a number of shares having a Fair Market Value equal as of the date of exercise to the exercise price of the Option, or (d) at the discretion of the Administrator, by delivery of the grantee’s personal recourse note, bearing interest payable not less than annually at no less than 100% of the applicable Federal rate, as defined in Section 1274(d) of the Code, with or without the pledge of such Shares as collateral, or (e) at the discretion of the Administrator, in accordance with a cashless exercise program established with a securities brokerage firm, and approved by the Administrator, or (f) at the discretion of the Administrator, by any combination of (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) above, or (g) at the discretion of the Administrator, payment of such other lawful consideration as the Board may determine. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrator shall accept only such payment on exercise of an ISO as is permitted by Section 422 of the Code.
     The Company shall then reasonably promptly deliver the Shares as to which such Option was exercised to the Participant (or to the Participant’s Survivors, as the case may be). In determining what constitutes “reasonably promptly,” it is expressly understood that the issuance and delivery of the Shares may be delayed by the Company in order to comply with any law or regulation (including, without limitation, state securities or “blue sky” laws) which requires the Company to take any action with respect to the Shares prior to their issuance. The Shares shall, upon delivery, be fully paid, non-assessable Shares.
     The Administrator shall have the right to accelerate the date of exercise of any installment of any Option; provided that the Administrator shall not accelerate the exercise date of any installment of any Option granted to an Employee as an ISO (and not previously converted into a Non-Qualified Option pursuant to Paragraph 28) without the prior approval of the Employee if such acceleration would violate the annual vesting limitation contained in Section 422(d) of the Code, as described in Paragraph 6.B.d.
     The Administrator may, in its discretion, amend any term or condition of an outstanding Option provided (i) such term or condition as amended is permitted by the Plan, (ii) any such amendment shall be made only with the consent of the Participant to whom the Option was granted, or in the event of the death of the Participant, the Participant’s Survivors, if the amendment is adverse to the Participant, and (iii) any such amendment of any Option shall be made only after the Administrator determines whether such amendment would constitute a “modification” of any Option which is an ISO (as that term is defined in Section 424(h) of the

10


 

Code) or would cause any adverse tax consequences for the holder of such Option including, but not limited to, pursuant to Section 409A of the Code.
  11.   ACCEPTANCE OF STOCK GRANTS AND STOCK-BASED AWARDS AND ISSUE OF SHARES.
     A Stock Grant or Stock-Based Award (or any part or installment thereof) shall be accepted by executing the applicable Agreement and delivering it to the Company or its designee, together with provision for payment of the full purchase price, if any, in accordance with this Paragraph for the Shares as to which such Stock Grant or Stock-Based Award is being accepted, and upon compliance with any other conditions set forth in the applicable Agreement. Payment of the purchase price for the Shares as to which such Stock Grant or Stock-Based Award is being accepted shall be made (a) in United States dollars in cash or by check, or (b) at the discretion of the Administrator, through delivery of shares of Common Stock having a Fair Market Value equal as of the date of acceptance of the Stock Grant or Stock-Based Award to the purchase price of the Stock Grant or Stock-Based Award, or (c) at the discretion of the Administrator, by delivery of the grantee’s personal note, for full or partial recourse as determined by the Administrator, bearing interest payable not less than annually at no less than 100% of the applicable Federal rate, as defined in Section 1274(d) of the Code, or (d) at the discretion of the Administrator, by any combination of (a), (b) and (c) above.
     The Company shall then, if required pursuant to the applicable Agreement, reasonably promptly deliver the Shares as to which such Stock Grant or Stock-Based Award was accepted to the Participant (or to the Participant’s Survivors, as the case may be), subject to any escrow provision set forth in the applicable Agreement. In determining what constitutes “reasonably promptly,” it is expressly understood that the issuance and delivery of the Shares may be delayed by the Company in order to comply with any law or regulation (including, without limitation, state securities or “blue sky” laws) which requires the Company to take any action with respect to the Shares prior to their issuance.
     The Administrator may, in its discretion, amend any term or condition of an outstanding Stock Grant, Stock-Based Award or applicable Agreement provided (i) such term or condition as amended is permitted by the Plan, (ii) any such amendment shall be made only with the consent of the Participant to whom the Stock Grant or Stock-Based Award was made, if the amendment is adverse to the Participant, and (iii) any such amendment shall only be made after the Administrator determines whether such amendment would cause any adverse tax consequences to the Participant including, but not limited to, pursuant to Section 409A of the Code.
  12.   RIGHTS AS A SHAREHOLDER.
     No Participant to whom a Stock Right has been granted shall have rights as a shareholder with respect to any Shares covered by such Stock Right, except after due exercise of the Option or acceptance of the Stock Grant or as set forth in any Agreement and tender of the full purchase price, if any, for the Shares being purchased pursuant to such exercise or acceptance and registration of the Shares in the Company’s share register in the name of the Participant.
  13.   ASSIGNABILITY AND TRANSFERABILITY.

11


 

     By its terms, a Cash Award or Stock Right granted to a Participant shall not be transferable by the Participant other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. The designation of a beneficiary of a Cash Award or Stock Right by a Participant, with the prior approval of the Administrator and in such form as the Administrator shall prescribe, shall not be deemed a transfer prohibited by this Paragraph. Except as provided above, a Cash Award or Stock Right shall only be exercisable or may only be accepted, during the Participant’s lifetime, only by such Participant (or by his or her legal representative) and shall not be assigned, pledged or hypothecated in any way (whether by operation of law or otherwise) and shall not be subject to execution, attachment or similar process. Any attempted transfer, assignment, pledge, hypothecation or other disposition of any Cash Award or Stock Right or of any rights granted thereunder contrary to the provisions of this Plan, or the levy of any attachment or similar process upon a Cash Award or Stock Right, shall be null and void.
  14.   EFFECT ON OPTIONS OF TERMINATION OF SERVICE OTHER THAN “FOR CAUSE” OR DEATH OR DISABILITY.
     Except as otherwise provided in a Participant’s Option Agreement, in the event of a termination of service (whether as an employee, director or consultant) with the Company or an Affiliate before the Participant has exercised an Option, the following rules apply:
  a.   A Participant who ceases to be an employee, director or consultant of the Company or of an Affiliate (for any reason other than termination “for cause”, Disability, or death for which events there are special rules in Paragraphs 15, 16, and 17, respectively), may exercise any Option granted to him or her to the extent that the Option is exercisable on the date of such termination of service, but only within such term as the Administrator has designated in a Participant’s Option Agreement.
 
  b.   Except as provided in Subparagraph (c) below, or Paragraph 16 or 17, in no event may an Option intended to be an ISO, be exercised later than three months after the Participant’s termination of employment.
 
  c.   The provisions of this Paragraph, and not the provisions of Paragraph 16 or 17, shall apply to a Participant who subsequently becomes Disabled or dies after the termination of employment, director status or consultancy, provided, however, in the case of a Participant’s Disability or death within three months after the termination of employment, director status or consultancy, the Participant or the Participant’s Survivors may exercise the Option within one year after the date of the Participant’s termination of service, but in no event after the date of expiration of the term of the Option.
 
  d.   Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if subsequent to a Participant’s termination of employment, termination of director status or termination of consultancy, but prior to the exercise of an Option, the Board of Directors determines that, either prior or subsequent to the Participant’s termination, the

12


 

      Participant engaged in conduct which would constitute “cause”, then such Participant shall forthwith cease to have any right to exercise any Option.
 
  e.   A Participant to whom an Option has been granted under the Plan who is absent from work with the Company or with an Affiliate because of temporary disability (any disability other than a permanent and total Disability as defined in Paragraph 1 hereof), or who is on leave of absence for any purpose, shall not, during the period of any such absence, be deemed, by virtue of such absence alone, to have terminated such Participant’s employment, director status or consultancy with the Company or with an Affiliate, except as the Administrator may otherwise expressly provide; provided however that for ISOs any leave of absence granted by the Administrator of greater than ninety days unless pursuant to a contract or statute that guarantees the right to reemployment shall cause such ISO to become a Non-Qualified Option.
 
  f.   Except as required by law or as set forth in a Participant’s Agreement, Options granted under the Plan shall not be affected by any change of a Participant’s status within or among the Company and any Affiliates, so long as the Participant continues to be an employee, director or consultant of the Company or any Affiliate.
  15.   EFFECT ON OPTIONS OF TERMINATION OF SERVICE “FOR CAUSE”.
     Except as otherwise provided in a Participant’s Option Agreement, the following rules apply if the Participant’s service (whether as an employee, director or consultant) with the Company or an Affiliate is terminated “for cause” prior to the time that all his or her outstanding Options have been exercised:
  a.   All outstanding and unexercised Options as of the time the Participant is notified his or her service is terminated “for cause” will immediately be forfeited.
 
  b.   For purposes of this Plan, “cause” shall include (and is not limited to) dishonesty with respect to the Company or any Affiliate, insubordination, substantial malfeasance or non-feasance of duty, unauthorized disclosure of confidential information, breach by the Participant of any provision of any employment, consulting, advisory, nondisclosure, non-competition or similar agreement between the Participant and the Company, and conduct substantially prejudicial to the business of the Company or any Affiliate. The determination of the Administrator as to the existence of “cause” will be conclusive on the Participant and the Company.
 
  c.   “Cause” is not limited to events which have occurred prior to a Participant’s termination of service, nor is it necessary that the Administrator’s finding of “cause” occur prior to termination. If the Administrator determines, subsequent to a Participant’s termination of service but prior to the exercise of an Option, that either prior or subsequent to the Participant’s termination the Participant engaged

13


 

      in conduct which would constitute “cause”, then the right to exercise any Option is forfeited.
 
  d.   Any definition in an agreement between the Participant and the Company or an Affiliate, which contains a conflicting definition of “cause” for termination and which is in effect at the time of such termination, shall supersede the definition in this Plan with respect to that Participant.
  16.   EFFECT ON OPTIONS OF TERMINATION OF SERVICE FOR DISABILITY.
     Except as otherwise provided in a Participant’s Option Agreement, a Participant who ceases to be an employee, director or consultant of the Company or of an Affiliate by reason of Disability may exercise any Option granted to such Participant:
  a.   To the extent that the Option has become exercisable but has not been exercised on the date of Disability; and
 
  b.   In the event rights to exercise the Option accrue periodically over time, to the extent of a pro rata portion through the date of Disability of any additional vesting rights that would have accrued on the next vesting date had the Participant not become Disabled. The proration shall be based upon the number of days accrued in the current vesting period prior to the date of Disability.
     A Disabled Participant may exercise such rights only within the period ending one year after the date of the Participant’s termination of employment, directorship or consultancy, as the case may be, notwithstanding that the Participant might have been able to exercise the Option as to some or all of the Shares on a later date if the Participant had not become Disabled and had continued to be an employee, director or consultant or, if earlier, within the originally prescribed term of the Option.
     The Administrator shall make the determination both of whether Disability has occurred and the date of its occurrence (unless a procedure for such determination is set forth in another agreement between the Company and such Participant, in which case such procedure shall be used for such determination). If requested, the Participant shall be examined by a physician selected or approved by the Administrator, the cost of which examination shall be paid for by the Company.
  17.   EFFECT ON OPTIONS OF DEATH WHILE AN EMPLOYEE, DIRECTOR OR CONSULTANT.
     Except as otherwise provided in a Participant’s Option Agreement, in the event of the death of a Participant while the Participant is an employee, director or consultant of the Company or of an Affiliate, such Option may be exercised by the Participant’s Survivors:
  a.   To the extent that the Option has become exercisable but has not been exercised on the date of death; and

14


 

  b.   In the event rights to exercise the Option accrue periodically over time, to the extent of a pro rata portion through the date of death of any additional vesting rights that would have accrued on the next vesting date had the Participant not died. The proration shall be based upon the number of days accrued in the current vesting period prior to the Participant’s date of death.
     If the Participant’s Survivors wish to exercise the Option, they must take all necessary steps to exercise the Option within one year after the date of death of such Participant, notwithstanding that the decedent might have been able to exercise the Option as to some or all of the Shares on a later date if he or she had not died and had continued to be an employee, director or consultant or, if earlier, within the originally prescribed term of the Option.
  18.   EFFECT OF TERMINATION OF SERVICE ON UNACCEPTED STOCK GRANTS AND STOCK-BASED AWARDS.
     In the event of a termination of service (whether as an employee, director or consultant) with the Company or an Affiliate for any reason before the Participant has accepted a Stock Grant or Stock-Based Award, such offer shall terminate.
     For purposes of this Paragraph 18 and Paragraph 19 below, a Participant to whom a Stock Grant or Stock-Based Award has been offered and accepted under the Plan who is absent from work with the Company or with an Affiliate because of temporary disability (any disability other than a permanent and total Disability as defined in Paragraph 1 hereof), or who is on leave of absence for any purpose, shall not, during the period of any such absence, be deemed, by virtue of such absence alone, to have terminated such Participant’s employment, director status or consultancy with the Company or with an Affiliate, except as the Administrator may otherwise expressly provide.
     In addition, for purposes of this Paragraph 18 and Paragraph 19 below, any change of employment or other service within or among the Company and any Affiliates shall not be treated as a termination of employment, director status or consultancy so long as the Participant continues to be an employee, director or consultant of the Company or any Affiliate.
  19.   EFFECT ON STOCK GRANTS OF TERMINATION OF SERVICE OTHER THAN “FOR CAUSE” OR DEATH OR DISABILITY.
     Except as otherwise provided in a Participant’s Agreement, in the event of a termination of service (whether as an employee, director or consultant), other than termination “for cause,” Disability, or death for which events there are special rules in Paragraphs 20, 21, and 22, respectively, before all Company rights of repurchase shall have lapsed, then the Company shall have the right to repurchase that number of Shares subject to a Stock Grant as to which the Company’s repurchase rights have not lapsed.

15


 

  20.   EFFECT ON STOCK GRANTS OF TERMINATION OF SERVICE “FOR CAUSE”.
     Except as otherwise provided in a Participant’s Agreement, the following rules apply if the Participant’s service (whether as an employee, director or consultant) with the Company or an Affiliate is terminated “for cause”:
  a.   All Shares subject to any Stock Grant shall be immediately subject to repurchase by the Company at the purchase price, if any, thereof.
 
  b.   For purposes of this Plan, “cause” shall include (and is not limited to) dishonesty with respect to the employer, insubordination, substantial malfeasance or non-feasance of duty, unauthorized disclosure of confidential information, breach by the Participant of any provision of any employment, consulting, advisory, nondisclosure, non-competition or similar agreement between the Participant and the Company, and conduct substantially prejudicial to the business of the Company or any Affiliate. The determination of the Administrator as to the existence of “cause” will be conclusive on the Participant and the Company.
 
  c.   “Cause” is not limited to events which have occurred prior to a Participant’s termination of service, nor is it necessary that the Administrator’s finding of “cause” occur prior to termination. If the Administrator determines, subsequent to a Participant’s termination of service, that either prior or subsequent to the Participant’s termination the Participant engaged in conduct which would constitute “cause,” then the Company’s right to repurchase all of such Participant’s Shares shall apply.
 
  d.   Any definition in an agreement between the Participant and the Company or an Affiliate, which contains a conflicting definition of “cause” for termination and which is in effect at the time of such termination, shall supersede the definition in this Plan with respect to that Participant.
  21.   EFFECT ON STOCK GRANTS OF TERMINATION OF SERVICE FOR DISABILITY.
     Except as otherwise provided in a Participant’s Agreement, the following rules apply if a Participant ceases to be an employee, director or consultant of the Company or of an Affiliate by reason of Disability: to the extent the Company’s rights of repurchase have not lapsed on the date of Disability, they shall be exercisable; provided, however, that in the event such rights of repurchase lapse periodically over time, such rights shall lapse to the extent of a pro rata portion of the Shares subject to such Stock Grant through the date of Disability as would have lapsed had the Participant not become Disabled. The proration shall be based upon the number of days accrued prior to the date of Disability.
     The Administrator shall make the determination both of whether Disability has occurred and the date of its occurrence (unless a procedure for such determination is set forth in another agreement between the Company and such Participant, in which case such procedure shall be

16


 

used for such determination). If requested, the Participant shall be examined by a physician selected or approved by the Administrator, the cost of which examination shall be paid for by the Company.
  22.   EFFECT ON STOCK GRANTS OF DEATH WHILE AN EMPLOYEE, DIRECTOR OR CONSULTANT.
     Except as otherwise provided in a Participant’s Agreement, the following rules apply in the event of the death of a Participant while the Participant is an employee, director or consultant of the Company or of an Affiliate: to the extent the Company’s rights of repurchase have not lapsed on the date of death, they shall be exercisable; provided, however, that in the event such rights of repurchase lapse periodically over time, such rights shall lapse to the extent of a pro rata portion of the Shares subject to such Stock Grant through the date of death as would have lapsed had the Participant not died. The proration shall be based upon the number of days accrued prior to the Participant’s death.
  23.   PURCHASE FOR INVESTMENT.
     Unless the offering and sale of the Shares to be issued upon the particular exercise or acceptance of a Stock Right shall have been effectively registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as now in force or hereafter amended (the “1933 Act”), the Company shall be under no obligation to issue the Shares covered by such exercise unless and until the following conditions have been fulfilled:
  a.   The person(s) who exercise(s) or accept(s) such Stock Right shall warrant to the Company, prior to the receipt of such Shares, that such person(s) are acquiring such Shares for their own respective accounts, for investment, and not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, the distribution of any such Shares, in which event the person(s) acquiring such Shares shall be bound by the provisions of the following legend which shall be endorsed upon the certificate(s) evidencing their Shares issued pursuant to such exercise or such grant:
      “The shares represented by this certificate have been taken for investment and they may not be sold or otherwise transferred by any person, including a pledgee, unless (1) either (a) a Registration Statement with respect to such shares shall be effective under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or (b) the Company shall have received an opinion of counsel satisfactory to it that an exemption from registration under such Act is then available, and (2) there shall have been compliance with all applicable state securities laws.”
  b.   At the discretion of the Administrator, the Company shall have received an opinion of its counsel that the Shares may be issued upon such particular exercise or acceptance in compliance with the 1933 Act without registration thereunder.

17


 

  24.   DISSOLUTION OR LIQUIDATION OF THE COMPANY.
     Upon the dissolution or liquidation of the Company, all Options granted under this Plan which as of such date shall not have been exercised and all Stock Grants and Stock-Based Awards which have not been accepted will terminate and become null and void; provided, however, that if the rights of a Participant or a Participant’s Survivors have not otherwise terminated and expired, the Participant or the Participant’s Survivors will have the right immediately prior to such dissolution or liquidation to exercise or accept any Stock Right to the extent that the Stock Right is exercisable or subject to acceptance as of the date immediately prior to such dissolution or liquidation. Upon the dissolution or liquidation of the Company, any outstanding Cash Awards or Stock-Based Awards shall immediately terminate unless otherwise determined by the Administrator or specifically provided in the applicable Agreement.
  25.   ADJUSTMENTS.
     Upon the occurrence of any of the following events, a Participant’s rights with respect to any Stock Right granted to him or her hereunder shall be adjusted as hereinafter provided, unless otherwise specifically provided in a Participant’s Agreement:
     A. Stock Dividends and Stock Splits. If (i) the shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided or combined into a greater or smaller number of shares or if the Company shall issue any shares of Common Stock as a stock dividend on its outstanding Common Stock, or (ii) additional shares or new or different shares or other securities of the Company or other non-cash assets are distributed with respect to such shares of Common Stock, the number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon the exercise of an Option or acceptance of a Stock Grant shall be appropriately increased or decreased proportionately, and appropriate adjustments shall be made including, in the purchase price per share, to reflect such events. The number of Shares subject to the limitations in Paragraphs 3 and 4(c) shall also be proportionately adjusted upon the occurrence of such events.
     B. Corporate Transactions. If the Company is to be consolidated with or acquired by another entity in a merger, sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets other than a transaction to merely change the state of incorporation (a “Corporate Transaction”), the Administrator or the board of directors of any entity assuming the obligations of the Company hereunder (the “Successor Board”), shall, as to outstanding Options, either (i) make appropriate provision for the continuation of such Options by substituting on an equitable basis for the Shares then subject to such Options either the consideration payable with respect to the outstanding shares of Common Stock in connection with the Corporate Transaction or securities of any successor or acquiring entity; or (ii) upon written notice to the Participants, provide that all Options must be exercised (either to the extent then exercisable or, at the discretion of the Administrator, or, upon a change of control of the Company, all Options being made fully exercisable for purposes of this Subparagraph), within a specified number of days of the date of such notice, at the end of which period the Options shall terminate; or (iii) terminate all Options in exchange for a cash payment equal to the excess of the Fair Market Value of the Shares subject to such Options (either to the extent then exercisable or, at the discretion of the Administrator, all Options being made fully exercisable for purposes of this Subparagraph) over the exercise price thereof.

18


 

     With respect to outstanding Stock Grants, the Administrator or the Successor Board, shall either (i) make appropriate provisions for the continuation of such Stock Grants by substituting on an equitable basis for the Shares then subject to such Stock Grants either the consideration payable with respect to the outstanding Shares of Common Stock in connection with the Corporate Transaction or securities of any successor or acquiring entity; or (ii) upon written notice to the Participants, provide that all Stock Grants must be accepted (to the extent then subject to acceptance) within a specified number of days of the date of such notice, at the end of which period the offer of the Stock Grants shall terminate; or (iii) terminate all Stock Grants in exchange for a cash payment equal to the excess of the Fair Market Value of the Shares subject to such Stock Grants over the purchase price thereof, if any. In addition, in the event of a Corporate Transaction, the Administrator may waive any or all Company repurchase rights with respect to outstanding Stock Grants.
     C. Recapitalization or Reorganization. In the event of a recapitalization or reorganization of the Company other than a Corporate Transaction pursuant to which securities of the Company or of another corporation are issued with respect to the outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Participant upon exercising an Option or accepting a Stock Grant after the recapitalization or reorganization shall be entitled to receive for the purchase price paid upon such exercise or acceptance the number of replacement securities which would have been received if such Option had been exercised or Stock Grant accepted prior to such recapitalization or reorganization.
     D. Adjustments to Cash Awards and Stock-Based Awards. Upon the happening of any of the events described in Subparagraphs A, B or C above, any outstanding Cash Award and Stock-Based Award shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect the events described in such Subparagraphs. The Administrator or the Successor Board shall determine the specific adjustments to be made under this Paragraph 25 and, subject to Paragraph 4, its determination shall be conclusive.
     E. Modification of Options. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any adjustments made pursuant to Subparagraph A, B or C above with respect to Options shall be made only after the Administrator determines whether such adjustments would constitute a “modification” of any ISO (as that term is defined in Section 424(h) of the Code) or would cause any adverse tax consequences for the holders of such Options, including, but not limited to, pursuant to Section 409A of the Code. If the Administrator determines that such adjustments made with respect to Options would constitute a modification or other adverse tax consequence, it may refrain from making such adjustments, unless the holder of an Option specifically agrees in writing that such adjustment be made and such writing indicates that the holder has full knowledge of the consequences of such “modification” on his or her income tax treatment with respect to the Option. This paragraph shall not apply to the acceleration of the vesting of any ISO that would cause any portion of the ISO to violate the annual vesting limitation contained in Section 422(d) of the Code, as described in Paragraph 6B(d).
  26.   ISSUANCES OF SECURITIES.
     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

19


 

adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number or price of shares subject to Stock Rights. Except as expressly provided herein, no adjustments shall be made for dividends paid in cash or in property (including without limitation, securities) of the Company prior to any issuance of Shares pursuant to a Stock Right.
  27.   FRACTIONAL SHARES.
     No fractional shares shall be issued under the Plan and the person exercising a Stock Right shall receive from the Company cash in lieu of such fractional shares equal to the Fair Market Value thereof.
  28.   CONVERSION OF ISOs INTO NON-QUALIFIED OPTIONS; TERMINATION OF ISOs.
     The Administrator, at the written request of any Participant, may in its discretion take such actions as may be necessary to convert such Participant’s ISOs (or any portions thereof) that have not been exercised on the date of conversion into Non-Qualified Options at any time prior to the expiration of such ISOs, regardless of whether the Participant is an employee of the Company or an Affiliate at the time of such conversion. At the time of such conversion, the Administrator (with the consent of the Participant) may impose such conditions on the exercise of the resulting Non-Qualified Options as the Administrator in its discretion may determine, provided that such conditions shall not be inconsistent with this Plan. Nothing in the Plan shall be deemed to give any Participant the right to have such Participant’s ISOs converted into Non-Qualified Options, and no such conversion shall occur until and unless the Administrator takes appropriate action. The Administrator, with the consent of the Participant, may also terminate any portion of any ISO that has not been exercised at the time of such conversion.
  29.   WITHHOLDING.
     In the event that any federal, state, or local income taxes, employment taxes, Federal Insurance Contributions Act (“F.I.C.A.”) withholdings or other amounts are required by applicable law or governmental regulation to be withheld from the Participant’s salary, wages or other remuneration in connection with the exercise or acceptance of a Cash Award or Stock Right or in connection with a Disqualifying Disposition (as defined in Paragraph 30) or upon the lapsing of any right of repurchase, the Company may withhold from the Participant’s compensation, if any, or may require that the Participant advance in cash to the Company, or to any Affiliate of the Company which employs or employed the Participant, the statutory minimum amount of such withholdings unless a different withholding arrangement, including the use of shares of the Company’s Common Stock or a promissory note, is authorized by the Administrator (and permitted by law). For purposes hereof, the fair market value of the shares withheld for purposes of payroll withholding shall be determined in the manner provided in Paragraph 1 above, as of the most recent practicable date prior to the date of exercise. If the fair market value of the shares withheld is less than the amount of payroll withholdings required, the Participant may be required to advance the difference in cash to the Company or the Affiliate

20


 

employer. The Administrator in its discretion may condition the exercise of an Option for less than the then Fair Market Value on the Participant’s payment of such additional withholding.
  30.   NOTICE TO COMPANY OF DISQUALIFYING DISPOSITION.
     Each Employee who receives an ISO must agree to notify the Company in writing immediately after the Employee makes a Disqualifying Disposition of any shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of an ISO. A Disqualifying Disposition is defined in Section 424(c) of the Code and includes any disposition (including any sale or gift) of such shares before the later of (a) two years after the date the Employee was granted the ISO, or (b) one year after the date the Employee acquired Shares by exercising the ISO, except as otherwise provided in Section 424(c) of the Code. If the Employee has died before such stock is sold, these holding period requirements do not apply and no Disqualifying Disposition can occur thereafter.
  31.   TERMINATION OF THE PLAN.
     The Plan will terminate on February 13, 2018, the date which is ten years from the earlier of the date of its initial adoption by the Board of Directors and the date of its approval by the shareholders. The Plan may be terminated at an earlier date by vote of the shareholders or the Board of Directors of the Company; provided, however, that any such earlier termination shall not affect any Agreements executed prior to the effective date of such termination.
  32.   AMENDMENT OF THE PLAN AND AGREEMENTS.
     The Plan may be amended by the shareholders of the Company. The Plan may also be amended by the Administrator, including, without limitation, to the extent necessary to qualify any or all outstanding Stock Rights granted under the Plan or Stock Rights to be granted under the Plan for favorable federal income tax treatment (including deferral of taxation upon exercise) as may be afforded incentive stock options under Section 422 of the Code, and to the extent necessary to qualify the shares issuable upon exercise or acceptance of any outstanding Stock Rights granted, or Stock Rights to be granted, under the Plan for listing on any national securities exchange or quotation in any national automated quotation system of securities dealers. Any amendment approved by the Administrator which the Administrator determines is of a scope that requires shareholder approval shall be subject to obtaining such shareholder approval. Any modification or amendment of the Plan shall not, without the consent of a Participant, adversely affect his or her rights under a Cash Award or Stock Right previously granted to him or her. With the consent of the Participant affected, the Administrator may amend outstanding Agreements in a manner which may be adverse to the Participant but which is not inconsistent with the Plan. In the discretion of the Administrator, outstanding Agreements may be amended by the Administrator in a manner which is not adverse to the Participant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrator shall not allow either (a) the cancellation of outstanding Options or Stock Appreciation Rights and the grant in substitution therefore of new Stock Rights having a lower exercise price or (b) the amendment of outstanding Options or Stock Appreciation Rights to reduce the exercise price thereof without shareholder approval.

21


 

  33.   EMPLOYMENT OR OTHER RELATIONSHIP.
     Nothing in this Plan or any Agreement shall be deemed to prevent the Company or an Affiliate from terminating the employment, consultancy or director status of a Participant, nor to prevent a Participant from terminating his or her own employment, consultancy or director status or to give any Participant a right to be retained in employment or other service by the Company or any Affiliate for any period of time.
  34.   GOVERNING LAW.
     This Plan shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the law of the State of Delaware.

FORM OF PERSONAL INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT
     This Personal Indemnification Agreement is entered into as                     , 2009 (the “Agreement”), by and between Majesco Entertainment Company, a Delaware corporation (the “Company,” which term shall include, where appropriate, any Entity (as hereinafter defined) controlled, directly or indirectly, by the Company) and                      (the “Indemnitee”).
     WHEREAS, it is essential to the Company that it be able to retain and attract as directors and officers the most capable persons available;
     WHEREAS, increased corporate litigation has subjected directors and officers to litigation risks and expenses, and the limitations on the availability of directors and officers liability insurance have made it increasingly difficult for the Company to attract and retain such persons;
     WHEREAS, the Company’s Restated Bylaws (the “Bylaws”) require it to indemnify its directors to the fullest extent permitted by law and permit it to make other indemnification arrangements and agreements;
     WHEREAS, the Company desires to provide Indemnitee with specific contractual assurance of Indemnitee’s rights to full indemnification against litigation risks and expenses (regardless, among other things, of any amendment to or revocation of the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”) or Bylaws or any change in the ownership of the Company or the composition of its board of directors);
     WHEREAS, the Company intends that this Agreement provide Indemnitee with greater protection than that which is provided by the Company’s Bylaws; and
     WHEREAS, Indemnitee is relying upon the rights afforded under this Agreement in becoming or continuing as a director or officer of the Company.
     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and the covenants contained herein, the Company and Indemnitee do hereby covenant and agree as follows:

For purposes of subsection (iii) of this Section 1(a), if Indemnitee is serving or has served as a director, partner, trustee, officer, employee or agent of a Subsidiary, Indemnitee shall be deemed to be serving at the request of the Company.

     2. Services of Indemnitee. In consideration of the Company’s covenants and commitments hereunder, Indemnitee agrees to serve or continue to serve as a director or officer of the Company. However, this Agreement shall not impose any obligation on Indemnitee or the Company to continue Indemnitee’s service to the Company beyond any period otherwise required by law or by other agreements or commitments of the parties, if any. Indemnitee may at any time and for any reason resign from such position (subject to any other contractual obligation or any obligation imposed by operation of law), upon which event the Company shall have no obligation under this Agreement to continue Indemnitee in such position. Notwithstanding the forgoing, this Agreement shall continue in force until and terminate upon the later of: (a) ten (10) years after the date that the Corporate Status of Indemnitee has been terminated and (b) the final termination of all pending Proceedings.
     3. Indemnity in Third-Party Proceedings. The Company shall indemnify Indemnitee in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3 if Indemnitee is, or is threatened to be made, by reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate Status, a party to or a participant in any Proceeding, other than a Proceeding by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor. Pursuant to this Section 3, Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all Expenses and Liabilities actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on his behalf in connection with such Proceeding or any claim, issue or matter therein (indemnifiable Expenses and Liabilities collectively referred herein as “Indemnifiable Amounts”), if Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company and, in the case of a criminal Proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. Indemnitee shall not enter into any settlement in connection with a Proceeding without the consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
     4. Indemnity in Proceedings by or in the Right of the Company. The Company shall indemnify Indemnitee in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4 if Indemnitee is, or is threatened to be made, by reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate Status, a party to or a participant in any Proceeding by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor. Pursuant to this Section 4, Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him or on his behalf in connection with such Proceeding or any claim, issue or matter therein, if Indemnitee acted in good faith

2


 

and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company. No indemnification for Expenses shall be made under this Section 4 in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which Indemnitee shall have been finally adjudged by a court to be liable to the Company, unless and only to the extent that the Delaware Court of Chancery (the “Delaware Chancery Court”) or any court in which the Proceeding was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability, but in view of all the circumstances of the case, Indemnitee is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification for such Expenses as the Delaware Chancery Court or such other court shall deem proper.
     5. Indemnification for Expenses of a Party Who is Wholly or Partly Successful. If Indemnitee is not wholly successful in such Proceeding but is successful, on the merits or otherwise, as to one or more but less than all claims, issues or matters in such Proceeding, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee against: (a) all Expenses reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s behalf in connection with each successfully resolved claim, issue or matter; and (b) any claim, issue or matter related to any such successfully resolved claim, issue or matter. For purposes of this Agreement, the termination of any claim, issue or matter in such a Proceeding by dismissal, with or without prejudice, by reason of settlement, judgment, order or otherwise, shall be deemed to be a successful result as to such claim, issue or matter.
     6. Procedure for Payment of Indemnifiable Amounts. Indemnitee shall submit to the Company a written request specifying the Indemnifiable Amounts for which Indemnitee seeks payment under Sections 3, 4 or 5 of this Agreement and the basis for the claim. The Company shall pay such Indemnifiable Amounts to Indemnitee promptly upon receipt of Indemnitee’s written request. If the Indemnifiable Amounts have not been paid in full within sixty (60) days after the written request has been received by the Company, Indemnitee may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Company to recover any such unpaid amounts. At the request of the Company, Indemnitee shall furnish such documentation and information as are reasonably available to Indemnitee and necessary to establish that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification hereunder.
     7. Indemnification for Expenses as a Witness. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, to the extent that Indemnitee is, by reason of his or her Corporate Status, a witness in any Proceeding to which Indemnitee is not a party, he or she shall be indemnified against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him or her or on his or her behalf in connection therewith.
     8. Effect of Certain Resolutions. Neither the settlement or termination of any Proceeding nor the failure of the Company to award indemnification or to determine that indemnification is payable shall create a presumption that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification hereunder. In addition, the termination of any proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent shall not create a presumption that Indemnitee did not act in good faith and in a manner which Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company or, with respect to any criminal Proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that Indemnitee’s action was unlawful.
     9. Exclusions. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall not be obligated under this Agreement to make any indemnity in connection with any claim made against Indemnitee:
          (a) for which payment has actually been made to or on behalf of Indemnitee under any insurance policy or other indemnity provision, except with respect to any excess beyond the amount paid under any insurance policy or other indemnity provisions;

3


 

          (b) for an accounting of profits made from the purchase and sale (or sale and purchase) by Indemnitee of securities of the Company within the meaning of Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or similar provisions of state statutory law or common law; or
          (c) for which payment is prohibited by applicable law.
     10. Agreement to Advance Expenses; Undertaking. The Company shall advance all Expenses incurred by or on behalf of Indemnitee in connection with any Proceeding, including a Proceeding by or in the right of the Company, in which Indemnitee is involved by reason of such Indemnitee’s Corporate Status within twenty (20) business days after the receipt by the Company of a written statement from Indemnitee requesting such advance or advances from time to time, whether prior to or after final disposition of such Proceeding. Advances shall be made without regard to Indemnitee’s ability to repay the expenses and without regard to Indemnitee’s ultimate entitlement to indemnification under the other provisions of this Agreement. To the extent required by Delaware law, Indemnitee hereby undertakes to repay any and all of the amount of indemnifiable Expenses paid to Indemnitee if it is finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that Indemnitee is not entitled under this Agreement to indemnification with respect to such Expenses. This undertaking is an unlimited general obligation of Indemnitee.
     11. Procedure for Advance Payment of Expenses. Indemnitee shall submit to the Company a written request specifying the Expenses for which Indemnitee seeks an advancement under Section 10 of this Agreement, together with documentation evidencing that Indemnitee has incurred such Expenses (which shall include invoices received by Indemnitee in connection with such Expenses but, in the case of invoices in connection with legal services, any reference to legal work performed or to expenditures made that would cause Indemnitee to waive any privilege accorded by applicable law shall not be included with the invoice). Advances under Section 10 shall be made no later than twenty (20) business days after the Company’s receipt of such request. If a claim for advancement of Expenses hereunder by Indemnitee is not paid in full by the Company within twenty (20) business days after receipt by the Company of documentation of Expenses and the required undertaking, Indemnitee may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Company to recover the unpaid amount of the claim and if successful in whole or in part, Indemnitee shall also be entitled to be paid the expenses of prosecuting such claim. The burden of proving that Indemnitee is not entitled to an advancement of expenses shall be on the Company.
     12. Presumptions and Effect of Certain Proceedings.
          (a) In making a determination required to be made under Delaware law with respect to entitlement to indemnification hereunder, the person, persons or entity making such determination shall presume that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement if Indemnitee has submitted a request for indemnification in accordance with Section 6 of this Agreement, and the Company shall have the burden of proof to overcome that presumption in connection with the making of any determination contrary to that presumption. Neither the failure of the Company or of any person, persons or entity to have made a determination prior to the commencement of any action pursuant to this Agreement that indemnification is proper in the circumstances because Indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct, nor an actual determination by the Company or by any person, persons or entity that Indemnitee has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that Indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct.
          (b) The termination of any Proceeding or of any claim, issue or matter therein, by judgment, order, settlement or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not

4


 

(except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement) of itself adversely affect the right of Indemnitee to indemnification or create a presumption that Indemnitee did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company or, with respect to any criminal Proceeding, that Indemnitee had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.
          (c) For purposes of any determination of good faith, Indemnitee shall be deemed to have acted in good faith if Indemnitee’s action is based on the records or books of account of the Enterprise, including financial statements, or on information supplied to Indemnitee by the officers of the Enterprise in the course of their duties, or on the advice of legal counsel for the Enterprise or the board of directors or counsel selected by any committee of the board of directors or on information or records given or reports made to the Enterprise by an independent certified public accountant or by an appraiser, investment banker or other expert selected with reasonable care by the Company or the board of directors or any committee of the board of directors. The provisions of this Section 12(c) shall not be deemed to be exclusive or to limit in any way the other circumstances in which the Indemnitee may be deemed to have met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in this Agreement.
          (d) The knowledge and/or actions, or failure to act, of any director, officer, agent or employee of the Enterprise shall not be imputed to Indemnitee for purposes of determining the right to indemnification under this Agreement.
     13. Remedies of Indemnitee.
          (a) Right to Petition Court. In the event that Indemnitee makes a request for payment of Indemnifiable Amounts under Sections 3, 4 and 5 above or a request for an advancement of Expenses under Sections 10 and 11 above and the Company fails to make such payment or advancement in a timely manner pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, Indemnitee may petition the Delaware Chancery Court to enforce the Company’s obligations under this Agreement.
          (b) Burden of Proof. In any judicial proceeding brought under Section 13(a) above, the Company shall have the burden of proving that Indemnitee is not entitled to payment of Indemnifiable Amounts hereunder.
          (c) Expenses. The Company agrees to reimburse Indemnitee in full for any Expenses incurred by Indemnitee in connection with investigating, preparing for, litigating, defending or settling any action brought by Indemnitee under Section 13(a) above, or in connection with any claim or counterclaim brought by the Company in connection therewith, if Indemnitee is successful in whole or in part in connection with any such action.
          (d) Failure to Act Not a Defense. The failure of the Company (including its board of directors or any committee thereof, independent legal counsel, or stockholders) to make a determination concerning the permissibility of the payment of Indemnifiable Amounts or the advancement of indemnifiable Expenses under this Agreement shall not be a defense in any action brought under Section 13(a) above, and shall not create a presumption that such payment or advancement is not permissible.
     14. Defense of the Underlying Proceeding.
          (a) Notice by Indemnitee. Indemnitee agrees to notify the Company within five (5) calendar days of being served with any summons, citation, subpoena, complaint, indictment, information, or other document relating to any Proceeding which may result in the payment of Indemnifiable Amounts

5


 

or the advancement of Expenses hereunder; provided, however, that the failure to give any such notice shall not disqualify Indemnitee from the right, or otherwise affect in any manner any right of Indemnitee, to receive payments of Indemnifiable Amounts or advancements of Expenses unless the Company’s ability to defend in such Proceeding is materially and adversely prejudiced thereby.
          (b) Defense by Company. Subject to the provisions of the last sentence of this Section 14(b) and of Section 14(c) below, the Company shall have the right to defend Indemnitee in any Proceeding which may give rise to the payment of Indemnifiable Amounts hereunder; provided, however, that the Company shall notify Indemnitee of any such decision to defend within thirty (30) calendar days of receipt of notice of any such Proceeding under Section 14(a) above. The Company shall not, without the prior written consent of Indemnitee, consent to the entry of any judgment against Indemnitee or enter into any settlement or compromise which (i) includes an admission of fault of Indemnitee or (ii) does not include, as an unconditional term thereof, the full release of Indemnitee from all liability in respect of such Proceeding, which release shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Indemnitee. This Section 14(b) shall not apply to a Proceeding brought by Indemnitee under Section 13(a) above or pursuant to Section 22 below.
          (c) Indemnitee’s Right to Counsel. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 14(b) above, if in a Proceeding to which Indemnitee is a party by reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate Status, (i) Indemnitee reasonably concludes that he or she may have separate defenses or counterclaims to assert with respect to any issue which may not be consistent with the position of other defendants in such Proceeding, (ii) a conflict of interest or potential conflict of interest exists between Indemnitee and the Company, or (iii) if the Company fails to assume the defense of such proceeding in a timely manner, Indemnitee shall be entitled to be represented by a separate legal counsel of Indemnitee’s choice at the expense of the Company. In addition, if the Company fails to comply with any of its obligations under this Agreement or in the event that the Company or any other person takes any action to declare this Agreement void or unenforceable, or institutes any action, suit or proceeding to deny or to recover from Indemnitee the benefits intended to be provided to Indemnitee hereunder, Indemnitee shall have the right to retain a counsel of Indemnitee’s choice, at the expense of the Company, to represent Indemnitee in connection with any such matter.
     15. Representations and Warranties of the Company. The Company hereby represents and warrants to Indemnitee as follows:
          (a) Authority. The Company has all necessary power and authority to enter into, and be bound by the terms of, this Agreement, and the execution, delivery and performance of the undertakings contemplated by this Agreement have been duly authorized by the Company.
          (b) Enforceability. This Agreement, when executed and delivered by the Company in accordance with the provisions hereof, shall be a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, reorganization or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally.
     16. Insurance. The Company shall, from time to time, make the good faith determination whether or not it is practicable for the Company to obtain and maintain a policy or policies of insurance with a reputable insurance company providing the Indemnitee with coverage for losses from wrongful acts. For so long as Indemnitee shall remain a director of the Company and with respect to any such prior service, in all policies of director and officer liability insurance, Indemnitee shall be named as an insured in such a manner as to provide Indemnitee the same rights and benefits as are accorded to the most favorably insured of the Company’s directors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall
have no

6


 

obligation to obtain or maintain such insurance. The Company shall promptly notify Indemnitee of any good faith determination not to provide such coverage.
     17. Contract Rights Not Exclusive. The rights to payment of Indemnifiable Amounts and advancement of indemnifiable Expenses provided by this Agreement shall be in addition to, but not exclusive of, any other rights which Indemnitee may have at any time under applicable law, the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, or any other agreement, vote of stockholders or directors (or a committee of directors), or otherwise, both as to action in Indemnitee’s official capacity and as to action in any other capacity as a result of Indemnitee’s serving as a director of the Company.
     18. Successors. This Agreement shall be (a) binding upon all successors and assigns of the Company (including any transferee of all or a substantial portion of the business, stock and/or assets of the Company and any direct or indirect successor by merger or consolidation or otherwise by operation of law) and (b) binding on and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, personal representatives, executors and administrators of Indemnitee. This Agreement shall continue for the benefit of Indemnitee and such heirs, personal representatives, executors and administrators after Indemnitee has ceased to have Corporate Status.
     19. Subrogation. In the event of any payment of Indemnifiable Amounts under this Agreement, the Company shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of contribution or recovery of Indemnitee against other persons, and Indemnitee shall take, at the request of the Company, all reasonable action necessary to secure such rights, including the execution of such documents as are necessary to enable the Company to bring suit to enforce such rights.
     20. Change in Law. To the extent that a change in Delaware law (whether by statute or judicial decision) shall permit broader indemnification or advancement of expenses than is provided under the terms of the Bylaws and this Agreement, Indemnitee shall be entitled to such broader indemnification and advancements, and this Agreement shall be deemed to be amended to such extent.
     21. Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such a manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement, or any clause thereof, shall be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, such provision or clause shall be limited or modified in its application to the minimum extent necessary to make such provision or clause valid, legal and enforceable, and the remaining provisions and clauses of this Agreement shall remain fully enforceable and binding on the parties.
     22. Indemnitee as Plaintiff. Except as provided in Section 13(c) of this Agreement and in the next sentence, Indemnitee shall not be entitled to payment of Indemnifiable Amounts or advancement of indemnifiable Expenses with respect to any Proceeding brought by Indemnitee against the Company, any Entity which it controls, any director or officer thereof, or any third party, unless the board of directors of the Company has consented to the initiation of such Proceeding. This Section 22 shall not apply to counterclaims or affirmative defenses asserted by Indemnitee in an action brought against Indemnitee.
     23. Modifications and Waiver. Except as provided in Section 20 above with respect to changes in Delaware law which broaden the right of Indemnitee to be indemnified by the Company, no supplement, modification or amendment of this Agreement shall be binding unless executed in writing by each of the parties hereto. No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed or shall constitute a waiver of any other provisions of this Agreement (whether or not similar), nor shall such waiver constitute a continuing waiver.
