PART I

ITEM 1—DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Overview

        We are an eBusiness solutions services provider to large and major midsize companies. We use a solutions delivery approach we call the Enabled Enterprise, that helps clients reach new markets and increase revenues, acquire and strengthen customer relationships, reduce costs and increase productivity and empower employees. Our Enabled Enterprise is an Internet-based infrastructure with integrated business applications that extend enterprise technology assets to customers, suppliers, partners and employees. We market our eBusiness solutions services directly to large and major midsize companies, principally in the Midwestern United States through a seven person direct sales force.

        In addition to our direct-to-end customer solutions business, our Advanced Technology Services (ATS) group exclusively serves IBM Corporation and its customers throughout the United States. Our ATS group employs more than 55 employees with experience in a variety of IBM software products, including WebSphere™ middleware and application servers and WebSphere™ portal server. We have a services agreement with IBM under which our ATS group provides deployment, integration and training services to IBM's WebSphere™ customers. Under the agreement with IBM, we are paid for services rendered. Our current agreement with IBM expires in September 2004 and may be cancelled prior to that date upon five days written notice. In 2003, revenue from IBM accounted for approximately 35% of total revenues. Any termination of our relationship with, or significant reduction or modification of the services we perform for, IBM would materially reduce our revenue and net income.

        We were incorporated in Texas in September 1997. In May 1999 we reincorporated in Delaware. We employed 147 full-time professionals in 5 offices in the United States and Canada as of March 29, 2004.

Our eBusiness Solutions Services

        We help our clients use Internet-based technologies to reach new markets and increase revenues, strengthen customer relationships, reduce operating costs and increase productivity, and empower their workers. We employ a broad-based approach, grounded in a thorough understanding of our clients' overall business strategy and competitive environment. Our services strive to help clients develop new business opportunities by taking advantage of existing distribution channels, customer service networks, and information systems.

        For our project engagements, we perform any or all of the following services:

    analyze end-user customer business goals and requirements;

    define the scope of the implementation project;

2


    design a project plan; and

    custom develop solutions as well as install, configure, and integrate our partners' Internet software products.

        Our goal is to reduce significantly the time required for our clients to implement an effective eBusiness solution. This enables our customers to quickly realize the benefits associated with our strategic partners' software products and allows our strategic partners to more rapidly expand their market share.

        Our approach includes an integrated set of real-world solutions that leverage Internet technologies to extend our clients' legacy systems to customers, employees, suppliers, and partners through:

    eBusiness infrastructure;

    eCommerce platforms;

    Online customer management (eCRM);

    Supply chain Web-enablement (SCWE); and

    Enterprise portals.

        Our target market for eBusiness solutions services is large and major midsize corporations, principally located in the Midwestern United States. We believe that these businesses invest in technology products and related services for four principal reasons:

    to reach new markets and increase revenues;

    to strengthen customer relationships;

    to reduce operating costs and increase productivity; and

    to empower their workers.

        In addition, we believe that these companies require, as a predicate to making such investment, a demonstrable positive return-on-investment potential and an eBusiness solutions partner with both proven experience in delivering similar projects and familiarity with the issues and concerns specific to the industry in which they operate.

        Accordingly, we focus on a targeted number of industries for which we have developed domain expertise and offer eBusiness solutions services that we believe can generate a meaningful positive return-on-investment for our customers. Our primary eBusiness solutions services offerings are described below:

    eBusiness Infrastructure. Middleware and Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) software are two key components to developing enterprise-class, eCommerce platforms for large and mid-size companies. Perficient designs and implements complex website-to-legacy system integrations that significantly reduce round-trip transaction times for enterprise-class websites. This umbrella of technologies is commonly called Web Services. To maximize our value to customers, we have strategic relationships with Web Services firms such as IBM and Microsoft.

    eCommerce Platforms. We develop eCommerce applications and further enhance existing sites to introduce new technology. We design systems that manage the "back-end" order fulfillment process to leading ERP systems such as SAP and JD Edwards for business-to-consumer and business-to-business Web sites. We provide commerce site enhancements, including advanced catalog management and search and cross-sell and up-sell capabilities. We offer clients packaged or custom electronic bill presentation and implementation solutions based on an individual company's needs.

3


    eCRM. Customer Relationship Management provides businesses with information on the wants and needs of its customers. We integrate data from disparate information sources to provide continuous, interactive and multi-platform customer interaction and value exchange. We deliver CRM components including: personalization, point of sale, telesales, Web-based selling, data mining, online advertising, call/contact center information and systems integration, field service dispatch, lead tracking, geocoding, and multiple front and back-office applications.

    Supply Chain Web Enablement. In the manufacturing and service industries, the implementation of a portal, business hub, Net exchange or extranet system enables established companies to build new business models, alliances, partnerships and other business relationships. Each company and industry has unique design and build requirements to support purchasing, distribution and sales. We help companies develop strategies and build the solutions they need to facilitate the exchange of information and transactions at critical points along the supply-chain.

    Enterprise Portals. Communication is the basis of success for any organization. We design, build and deploy "self-service" and collaborative solutions for business-to-employee, business-to-consumer and business-to-business implementations and enable workflow efficiencies by exchanging data and information in a cost-efficient, effective manner. Many organizations implement business-to-employee portals to improve employee communication. We help clients to extend these benefits externally in business-to-consumer and business-to-business portals that provide a secure line of business application integration and personalized buying communities.

Our Strategy

        Our objective is to be a leading eBusiness solutions services provider to large and major midsize companies and Internet software vendors. To achieve our goal, our strategy is to:

    target for expansion vital but underserved markets in the Midwestern and Southwestern United States;

    use selective acquisitions to supplement organic growth and achieve critical mass;

    continue to grow our IBM relationship and expand it to include more solutions-oriented services and software sales;

    provide our customers end-to-end solutions that generate a demonstrable positive return on investment;

    continue to invest in the professional development of our consulting staff and provide them with entrepreneurial opportunities within Perficient; and

    retain and strengthen a culture built on teamwork, a passion for technology and client service, and a focus on cost control and the bottom line.

Sales and Marketing

        eBusiness Solutions Services.    Our business development approach is market-focused with specific and tailored strategies for the industry market segments we serve. We target companies with annual revenues between $250 million and $5 billion, specifically focused in financial services (insurance, banking and brokerage), healthcare (pharmacy benefit managers and pharmaceutical manufacturers) and commodity (agribusiness and energy) markets. We also pursue opportunities in other industries where we can leverage our expertise. We utilize a direct sales force that consists of seven consultative sales professionals.

4


        IBM Partnership.    Our ATS service engagements are generated through or with IBM. As a result, our principal sales and marketing activity consists of marketing our services in concert with IBM's sales and services organizations. We have a general manager dedicated to coordinating projects and stimulating additional demand from IBM. Early in 2004 we realigned our sales force and sales processes in support of IBM's new organization and solutions-oriented sales process.

        We have strategic relationships with eBusiness technology and services providers including IBM, Digex, Tibco, Wily Technology, Bowstreet, Stellent, and Microsoft. These companies are key vendors in middleware and application servers, enterprise application integration, content management, and Web services. We believe these relationships enable us to leverage our core competencies, extend our service offerings, reach new clients and decrease costs/time-to-market for us and our customers.

Technology Professionals

        Recruiting.    Our most valuable assets are our technology professionals. We are dedicated to hiring, developing and retaining technology professionals who combine a depth of understanding of current Internet and legacy technologies with the ability to implement complex and cutting-edge solutions.

        Our recruiting efforts are an important element of our continuing operations and future growth. We generally target technology professionals with extensive experience and demonstrated expertise. To attract technology professionals, we use a broad range of sources including outside recruiters, internal referrals, other technology companies and technical associations, the Internet and advertising in technical periodicals. After initially identifying qualified candidates, we conduct an extensive screening and interview process.

        We believe that our focus on a target set of core Internet technologies and our commitment to continuing training and advancement opportunities makes us an attractive career choice for experienced professionals. Because our strategic partners are established and emerging market leaders, our technology professionals have an opportunity to work with cutting-edge information technology. We foster professional development by training our technology professionals in the skills critical to successful consulting engagements such as implementation methodology and project management.

        Training.    To ensure continued development of our technical staff, we place a high priority on training. We offer extensive training for our professionals around industry-leading technologies, including an on-line, Internet-based education and training program that offers more than 200 topics, including CORBA, EJB architecture, HTML, J2EE, Linux, Network Security and XML fundamentals. This web-based education system is offered to all of our technology professionals to facilitate their ongoing professional development and increase their technical expertise.

        Technology Leadership Council.    Our technology leadership council performs a critical role in maintaining our technology leadership. Consisting of key employees from each of our practice areas, the council frames our new strategic partner strategies, conducts regular conferences on the Internet with our technology professionals on specific partner and general technology issues and trends, conducts promotional activities, such as white paper publication and speaking engagements by our professionals, identifies services opportunities between and among our strategic partners' products, oversees our quality assurance programs and assists in acquisition-related technology due diligence.

        The Perficient Promise.    We continue to build our corporate culture around a common set of values based on expertise, honesty and teamwork.

        We have codified our commitments to each other in The Perficient Promise, which consist of the following seven simple commitments our management and technology professionals make to each other:

    we work with cutting-edge technologies and leading-edge clients;

5


    we maintain an informal team culture;

    we provide our technology professionals with high-quality infrastructure support services;

    we provide competitive incentives including equity ownership;

    we reinvest in continuing training and education; and

    we treat each other with respect.

        We take these commitments extremely seriously, because we believe that we can succeed only if The Perficient Promise is kept.

        MyPerficient.com—The Corporate Portal.    To ensure ubiquitous access to a wide range of information and tools, we have created a corporate portal, MyPerficient.com. It is a secure, centralized communications tool implemented using IBM's Websphere Portal Server product. It allows each of our technology professionals unlimited access to information, productivity tools, time and expense entry, benefits administration and quality management information directories and documentation.

Employees

        As of March 29, 2004, we employed 147 full-time employees. Of our total employees, 126 were technology professionals and 21 were involved in sales, general administration and marketing. Our employees are not represented by any collective bargaining unit, and we have never experienced a work stoppage.

Competition

        The markets for the services that we provide are highly competitive. We believe that our competitors fall into several categories, including:

    in-house information technology and professional services and support departments of software companies;

    systems integrators, such as Sapient Corporation, SBI and Company, and Braun Consulting;

    large consulting firms, such as Accenture, Bearing Point, Braxton (formerly Deloitte Consulting) and Cap Gemini Ernst & Young;

    information technology staffing firms, such as Keane, Inc. and Aquent (formerly Renaissance Worldwide); and

    other eBusiness solutions service providers engaged by IBM as subcontractors.

        We believe that the principal competitive factors affecting our market, and on which we focus our efforts, include experience of personnel, number of customers, the breadth and depth of a given solution, service quality and performance, core technologies, product scalability, reliability and product features and the ability to implement solutions quickly and respond timely to customer needs. In addition, there are relatively low barriers to entry into this market, and we expect to face additional competition from new entrants. We expect competition from offshore outsourcing and development companies to increase in the future.

        Most of our competitors have longer operating histories, larger client bases, and greater name recognition and possess significantly greater financial, technical and marketing resources than we do. As a result, our competitors may be better able to attract customers to which we market our services and adapt more quickly to new technologies or evolving customer or industry requirements. Many competitive factors are outside of our control, such as the ability of our competitors to hire, retain and motivate qualified technology professionals.

RISK FACTORS

Risks Specific to Our Business

We have incurred losses during most of the quarters during which we have been in business and we may incur losses in the future.

        We have incurred operating losses in most of the quarters during which we have been in business. Although we have recently achieved profitability, we may not be able to sustain or increase profitability on a quarterly or annual basis in the future. We cannot assure you of any operating results. In future quarters, our operating results may not meet public market analysts' and investors' expectations. If that happens, the price of our common stock will likely fall.

We have a limited number of customers and the loss of sales to IBM would materially reduce our revenue and net income.

        We have arrangements with a limited number of customers. Revenue from IBM accounted for approximately 35% of total revenues for both the years ended December 31, 2002 and December 31, 2003. Any termination of our relationship with, or significant reduction or modification of the services we perform for, IBM would materially reduce our revenue and net income.

The failure of IBM to pay our accounts receivable would materially impact our cash and working capital balances.

        Amounts owed to us by IBM represented 37% of our accounts receivable, or $2,276,000, as of December 31, 2003. Failure of IBM to pay that amount would have a material adverse effect on our working capital, cash position, business, operating results and financial condition. Failure of IBM to pay us timely could also have a material impact our cash and working capital balances.

IBM may reduce substantially its use of our services, which would materially reduce our revenue and net income.

        Our current agreement with IBM will expire on September 1, 2004, and may be terminated by IBM prior to that date upon five (5) days written notice. A decision by IBM to reduce the amount of services performed by us or to terminate the agreement would have an adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition. In the event IBM decides not to use our services, our revenue and net income could be materially reduced.

Our customers may not be obligated to use our services.

        Our contracts with some of our customers do not obligate them to use our services. A customer may choose at any time to use another consulting firm or to perform the services we provide through internal resources. Termination of a relationship with certain customers, or the decision of such customers to employ other consulting firms or perform services in-house, could materially harm our business.

Our quarterly operating results may be volatile and may cause our stock price to fluctuate.

        A high percentage of our operating expenses, particularly personnel and rent, are fixed in advance of any particular quarter. As a result, if we experience unanticipated changes in the number or nature of our projects or in our employee utilization rates, we could experience large variations in quarterly operating results and losses in any particular quarter. Due to these factors, we believe that our historical quarter-to-quarter operating results should not be used to predict our future performance.

7



        Our quarterly revenue, expenses and operating results have varied significantly in the past and are likely to vary significantly in the future. These quarterly fluctuations have been and may continue to be affected by a number of factors, including:

    the loss of a significant customer or project;

    the number and types of projects that we undertake;

    our ability to attract, train and retain skilled management and technology professionals;

    seasonal variations in spending patterns;

    our employee utilization rates, including our ability to transition our technology professionals from one project to another;

    changes in our pricing policies;

    our ability to manage costs; and

    costs related to acquisitions of other businesses.

        In addition, many factors affecting our operating results are outside of our control, such as:

    demand for Internet software;

    end-user customer budget cycles;

    changes in end-user customers' desire for our partners' products and our services;

    pricing changes in our industry;

    government regulation and legal developments regarding the use of the Internet; and

    general economic conditions.

        We expect that we may experience seasonal fluctuations in revenues. We expect that revenues in the quarter ending December 31 of a given year may typically be lower than in other quarters in that year as there are fewer billable days in this quarter as a result of vacations and holidays. This seasonal trend may materially affect our quarter-to-quarter operating results.

Our revenues are difficult to predict because they are derived from project-based engagements.

        Almost all of our revenues are from project-based client engagements, which vary in size and scope. Our revenue is difficult to predict since a client that accounts for a significant portion of revenues in one period may not generate a similar amount of revenue, if any, in subsequent periods. In addition, because many of our project-based client engagements involve sequential stages, each of which may represent a different contractual commitment, a client may choose not to retain us for subsequent stages of an engagement or for new service projects.

Our gross margins are subject to fluctuations as a result of variances in utilization rates.

        Our services gross margins are affected by trends in the utilization rate of our professionals, defined as the percentage of our professionals' time billed to customers divided by the total available hours in a period. Our operating expenses, including employee salaries, rent and administrative expenses are relatively fixed and cannot be reduced on short notice to compensate for unanticipated variations in the number or size of projects in process. If a project ends earlier than scheduled, we may need to redeploy our project personnel. Any resulting non-billable time may adversely affect our gross margins. The absence of long-term contracts and the need for new partners and business create an uncertain revenue stream, which could negatively affect our financial condition.

We may not grow, or we may be unable to manage our growth.

8



        Our success will depend on our ability to increase the number of our partners, end-user customers and our teams of technology professionals. However, we may not grow as planned or at all. Many of our competitors have longer operating histories, more established reputations, more potential partner and end-user customer relationships and greater financial, technical and marketing resources than we do. If we experience growth, our growth will place significant strains on our management, personnel and other resources. If we are unable to grow or manage our growth effectively, this inability will adversely affect the quality of our services and our ability to retain key personnel, and could materially harm our business.

We may not be able to attract and retain technology professionals, which could affect our ability to compete effectively.

        Our business is labor intensive. Accordingly, our success depends in large part upon our ability to attract, train, retain, motivate, manage and utilize highly skilled technology professionals. Additionally, our technology professionals are at-will employees. Any inability to attract, train and retain highly skilled technology professionals would impair our ability to adequately manage, staff and utilize our existing projects and to bid for or obtain new projects, which in turn would adversely affect our operating results.

Our success will depend on retaining our senior management team and key technical personnel.

        We believe that our success will depend on retaining our senior management team and key technical personnel. Retention is particularly important in our business as personal relationships are a critical element of obtaining and maintaining our partners. If any of these individuals stops working for us, our level of management, technical, marketing and sales expertise could significantly diminish. These individuals would be difficult to replace, and losing them could seriously harm our business. We may not be able to prevent key personnel, who may leave our employ in the future, from disclosing or using our technical knowledge, practices or procedures. One or more of our key personnel may resign and join a competitor or form a competing company. As a result, we might lose existing or potential clients.

We face risks associated with finding and integrating acquisitions.

        We made three acquisitions during 2000 and we completed the acquisitions of Vertecon and Javelin in April 2002. We may continue to expand our technological expertise and geographical presence through selective acquisitions. Any acquisitions or investments we make in the future will involve risks. We may not be able to make acquisitions or investments on commercially acceptable terms. If we do buy a company, we could have difficulty retaining and assimilating that company's personnel. In addition, we could have difficulty assimilating acquired products, services or technologies into our operations and retaining the customers of that company. Our operating results may be adversely affected by increased intangibles amortization, stock compensation expense and increased compensation expense attributable to newly hired employees. Furthermore, our management's attention may be diverted from other aspects of our business and our reputation may be harmed if an acquired company performs poorly. These difficulties could disrupt our ongoing business, distract our management and employees, increase our expenses and materially and adversely affect our results of operations. Furthermore, we may incur debt or issue equity securities to pay for any future acquisitions. If we issue equity securities, your ownership share of our common stock will be diluted.

We may face potential liability to customers if our customers' systems fail.

        Our professional services and software are often critical to the operation of our customers' businesses and provide benefits that may be difficult to quantify. If one of our customers' systems fails, the customer could make a claim for substantial damages against us, regardless of our responsibility for that failure. The limitations of liability set forth in our contracts may not be enforceable in all instances and may not otherwise protect us from liability for damages. Our insurance coverage may not continue

9



to be available on reasonable terms or in sufficient amounts to cover one or more large claims. In addition, a given insurer might disclaim coverage as to any future claims. If we experience one or more large claims against us that exceed available insurance coverage or result in changes in our insurance policies, including premium increases or the imposition of large deductible or co-insurance requirements, our business and financial results could suffer.

Risks Relating to Our Industry

The Internet services market demand is subject to uncertainty.

        The market for Internet services is relatively new and is evolving rapidly. Our future growth is dependent upon our ability to provide strategic Internet services that are accepted by our end-user customers. Demand and market acceptance for recently introduced services are subject to a high level of uncertainty. The level of demand and acceptance of strategic Internet services is dependent upon a number of factors, including:

    the growth in consumer access to and acceptance of new interactive technologies such as the Internet;

    companies adopting Internet-based business models; and

    the development of technologies that facilitate two-way communication between companies and targeted audiences.

        Significant issues concerning the commercial use of these technologies include security, reliability, cost, ease of use and quality of service. These issues remain unresolved and may inhibit the growth of Internet business solutions providers that use these technologies.

We are dependent on the demand for Internet software and services, which may fluctuate.

        The market for Internet software and services has changed rapidly over the last four years. The market for Internet software and services expanded dramatically during 1999 and most of 2000, but declined significantly in 2001 and 2002. Market demand for internet software and service began to stabilize and improve throughout 2003, but there can be no assurances that this trend will continue. Our future growth is dependent upon the demand for Internet software and services and our ability to provide strategic Internet services that are accepted by our end-user customers. Demand and market acceptance for Internet services are subject to a high level of uncertainty. If companies continue to cancel or delay their business and technology initiatives or choose to move these initiatives in-house because of the current economic climate, or for other reasons, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

Businesses may decrease or delay their use of advanced technologies as a means for conducting commerce.

        Our future success depends heavily on the acceptance and use of advanced technologies as a means for conducting commerce and streamlining operations. We focus our services on the development and implementation of advanced technology strategies and solutions. If the use of these technologies does not grow, or such growth is delayed due to economic uncertainty or other conditions, our revenue could be less than we anticipate and our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

Our business will suffer if we do not keep up with rapid technological change, evolving industry standards or changing partner requirements.

10



        Rapidly changing technology, evolving industry standards and changing partner needs are common in the Internet professional services market. Accordingly, our success will depend, in part, on our ability to:

    continue to develop our technology expertise;

    enhance our current services;

    develop new services that meet changing partner and end-user customer needs;

    advertise and market our services; and

    influence and respond to emerging industry standards and other technological changes.

        We must accomplish all of these tasks in a timely and cost-effective manner. We might not succeed in effectively doing any of these tasks, and our failure to succeed could have a material and adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations, including materially reducing our revenue and operating results.

        We may also incur substantial costs to keep up with changes surrounding the Internet. Unresolved critical issues concerning the commercial use and government regulation of the Internet include the following:

    security;

    cost and ease of Internet access;

    intellectual property ownership;

    privacy;

    taxation; and

    liability issues.

        Any costs we incur because of these factors could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations, including reduced net income.

Our market is highly competitive and has low barriers to entry.

        The market for Internet professional services is relatively new, intensely competitive, rapidly evolving and subject to rapid technological change. In addition, there are relatively low barriers to entry into this market. Because of the rapid changes to, and volatility in, the Internet software and service industry, many well-capitalized companies that may have chosen sectors of the industry that are not competitive with our business, including some of our partners, may refocus their activities and resources. As a result, they could deploy their resources and enter into a business that is competitive with ours.

        Many of our current and potential competitors have longer operating histories, more established reputations and potential partner relationships and greater financial, technical, industry and marketing resources than we do. This may place us at a disadvantage to our competitors, which may harm our ability to grow or maintain revenue or generate net income.

Risks Relating to Ownership of Our Stock

The trading volume of our common stock has been limited and, as a result, our stock price has been, and will likely continue to be, volatile.

        Our common stock is traded on the NASDAQ SmallCap Market under the symbol "PRFT." The trading volume of our common stock has been limited, and the stock prices have been volatile. Our

11



common stock price may continue to be highly volatile and may fluctuate as a result of the limited trading volume.

Our officers, directors, and 5% and greater stockholders own a large percentage of our voting securities.

        Our executive officers, directors and existing 5% and greater stockholders beneficially own or control greater than 38% of the voting power of our common stock. This concentration of ownership of our common stock may make it difficult for other Perficient stockholders to successfully approve or defeat matters that may be submitted for action by our stockholders. It may also have the effect of delaying, deterring or preventing a change in control of our company.

It may be difficult for another company to acquire us, and this could depress our stock price.

        Provisions of our certificate of incorporation, by-laws and Delaware law could make it difficult for a third party to acquire us, even if doing so would be beneficial to our stockholders. In addition, under our agreement with IBM, we have granted IBM a right of first offer and a right to terminate its agreement with us with respect to any change of control transaction with a company that has a substantial portion of its business in the web application server product and services market, other than a systems integrator or professional services firm. As a result, a potential acquirer may be discouraged from making an offer to buy us.

We may need additional capital in the future, which may not be available to us. The raising of any additional capital may reduce the ownership percentages of our existing shareholders.

        We believe our existing line of credit and working capital should provide sufficient resources to satisfy our near term capital requirements. Our existing line of credit facility expires in December 2004. If we are unable to renew our line of credit, we may need to obtain an alternate debt financing facility. In the future we may decide to raise additional funds through public or private debt or equity financing in order to:

    take advantage of opportunities, including more rapid expansion or acquisitions of, or investments in, businesses or technologies;

    develop new services; or

    respond to competitive pressures.

        Any additional capital raised through the sale of equity will reduce the ownership percentages of existing shareholders. Furthermore, we cannot be certain that any additional financing we may need will be available on terms favorable to us, or at all. In such case, our business results would suffer.

Third Quarter     3.03     0.94
Fourth Quarter     3.82     2.15

        As of December 31, 2003, there were in excess of 2,400 holders of our common stock. On March 29, 2004, the last sale price reported on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market for our common stock was $3.73 per share.

        We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our common stock and do not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Our line of credit currently prohibits the payment of cash dividends without the prior written consent of Silicon Valley Bank. Our Series A Preferred Stock accrued dividends at an annual rate of the prime rate plus 1.5% and our Series B Preferred stock accrued dividends at an annual rate of 8%. On November 10, 2003 all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock were automatically converted into common stock, and as a result all accrued dividends were forfeited. During 2003, the Company paid $45,457 in dividends to certain holders of Series A Preferred Stock that had voluntarily converted their holdings into common stock prior to the date of automatic conversion.

ITEM 6—MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

        The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and notes thereto and the other financial information included elsewhere in this annual report on Form 10-KSB. In addition to historical information, this management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations and other parts of

15



this annual report contain forward-looking information that involves risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those indicated in such forward-looking information as a result of certain factors, including but not limited to, those set forth under Risk Factors and elsewhere in this annual report.

        We were incorporated in September 1997 and began generating revenue in February 1998. We generate revenue from professional services performed for our end-user customers, and the end-user customers of our software partners. Additionally, we generate revenue from reselling software.

        In August 2003, we entered into a one-year extension of our existing services agreement with IBM under which we provide deployment, integration and training services to IBM's WebSphere™ customers. The current agreement will terminate on September 1, 2004. Prior to that date, IBM has the right to terminate the agreement upon five (5) days prior written notice. Revenue from IBM accounted for approximately 35% of total revenue for both 2002 and 2003, and accounts receivable from IBM comprise approximately 35% and 37% of gross accounts receivable as of December 31, 2002 and December 31, 2003, respectively. Accordingly, any deterioration in our relationship with IBM could have a material adverse effect on our consulting revenue and net income. Our agreements generally do not obligate our customers to use our services for any minimum amount, or at all, and our customers may use the services of our competitors.

        Revenue is derived primarily from professional services provided on a time and materials basis, with the remaining revenue provided from fixed fee engagements and software sales. For time and material contracts, revenue is recognized and billed by multiplying the number of hours expended by our professionals in the performance of the contract by the established billing rates. For fixed fee projects, revenue is generally recognized using the proportionate performance method. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made on a contract-by-contract basis and are recognized in the period in which such losses are determined. Billings in excess of costs plus earnings are classified as deferred revenues. On many projects we are also reimbursed for out-of-pocket expenses such as airfare, lodging and meals. These reimbursements are included as a component of revenue. Revenue from resold software is recorded on a gross basis provided we act as a principal in the transaction. In the event we do not meet the requirements to be considered a principal in the software resale transaction and act as an agent, the revenue is recorded on a net basis.

        Our revenue and operating results are subject to substantial variations based on our customers' expenditures and the frequency with which we are chosen to perform services for our customers. Revenue from any given customer will vary from period to period. We expect, however, that IBM will remain a significant customer for the foreseeable future. To the extent that IBM, or any other significant customer, uses less of our services or terminates its relationship with us, our revenue could decline substantially.

        Our gross margins are affected by trends in the utilization rate of our professionals (defined as the percentage of our professionals' time billed to customers, divided by the total available hours in the respective period), the salaries we pay our consulting professionals, and the average rate we receive from our customers. If a project ends earlier than scheduled or we retain professionals in advance of receiving project assignments, our utilization rate will decline and adversely affect our gross margins.

        During 2002, we implemented certain workforce reductions and office closures resulting in charges of $579,427, consisting of severance pay and related benefits for former employees in addition to the costs associated with the closure of our London office. As part of these restructurings, we reduced our workforce by a total of 30 employees, of which 17 were technology professionals and 13 were involved in selling, general administration and marketing. As of December 31, 2002, approximately $228,000 of restructuring costs is included in other current liabilities, all of which was paid during 2003. There was no restructuring expense during 2003.

Results of Operations

Year Ended December 31, 2002 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2003

        Revenue.    Total gross revenue increased from $22,450,284 for the year ended December 31, 2002 to $30,191,922 for the year ended December 31, 2003. Services revenue increased from $20,391,587 in 2002 to $24,534,617 in 2003. The increase in services revenue resulted in part from the additional headcount related to the April 2002 acquisitions of Vertecon and Javelin, which impacted revenue for the full period in 2003, as well as the use of additional subcontractors during 2003. The increase in services revenue is also the result of an improvement in employee utilization rates. For the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2003, 35% of our revenue was derived from IBM. Revenue from resold software increased from $402,889 in 2002 to $3,786,864 in 2003. Revenue from reselling software is expected to fluctuate between periods depending on our customers' demand for such software. Generally we are reimbursed for our out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with our customers' consulting projects. Reimbursable expenses increased from $1,655,808 in 2002 to $1,870,441 in 2003. The aggregate amount of reimbursed expenses will fluctuate depending on the location of our customers, the general fluctuation of travel costs such as airfare, and the total number of our projects that require travel.

        Cost of Revenue.    Cost of revenue, consisting of salaries and benefits associated with our technology professionals, subcontractor costs, cost of resold software, and reimbursed and project related expenses, increased from $13,539,219 for the year ended December 31, 2002 to $18,816,509 for the year ended December 31, 2003. The increase in cost of revenue is due to the increase in average salaries as compared to the same period in 2002 as well as an increase in the number of billable employees, and the increase in headcount as a result of the acquisitions of Vertecon and Javelin in April 2002 being included in the full year for 2003. Subcontractor costs increased from $449,000 in 2002 to $977,000 in 2003. In addition, costs associated with resold software increased by $2,737,855 in connection with the increased software revenue in 2003 compared to 2002. Reimbursable expenses will fluctuate with the associated revenue because our customers reimburse us for these costs. Other project related expenses consist of travel and other out-of-pocket costs that are not reimbursed by our customers. These expenses will fluctuate depending generally on outside factors including the costs of travel and the location of our customers.

        Gross Margin.    Gross margin increased from $8,911,065 for the year ended December 31, 2002 to $11,375,413 for the year ended December 31, 2003. Gross margin as a percentage of revenue decreased slightly from 40% in 2002 to 38% in 2003. The decrease in gross margin as a percentage of revenue is primarily due to the increase in average salaries as well as the increase in software resales, which typically yield a lower margin than our services revenue. Services gross margin was 43% in 2002 and 2003. Software gross margin was 15% in 2002 and 19% in 2003. Gross margins can fluctuate depending upon a number of factors including our ability to successfully manage the utilization rates and salaries of our consultants, and the rates we can charge for our services.

        Selling, General and Administrative.    Selling, general and administrative expenses consist of salaries and benefits for sales, executive and administrative employees, training, marketing activities, investor relations, recruiting, non-reimbursable travel costs and expenses and miscellaneous expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased from $8,327,010 for the year ended December 31, 2002 to $7,857,081 for the year ended December 31, 2003. The decrease is the result of deliberate cost reductions including: a $292,000 reduction in administrative salaries and benefits, a $189,000 reduction in computer equipment leasing costs and other information technology related expenses, which were partially offset by a $151,000 increase in office costs resulting from the inclusion of Javelin and Vertecon expenses for the full period in 2003, and a $150,000 increase in costs related to the 2003 company meeting. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue decreased from 37% for the year ended December 31, 2002 to 26% for the year ended December 31, 2003. The

17



decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses as a percent of revenue is the result of an increase in software resales, for which there are generally less incremental costs, as well as a general reduction of costs in proportion to total revenue during the applicable periods.

        Stock Compensation.    Stock compensation expense consists of non-cash compensation arising from certain option grants to employees with exercise prices below fair market value at the date of grant, option grants made to outside consultants, and compensation expense associated with unvested stock options assumed in business combinations. Stock compensation expense decreased from $240,688 during the year ended December 31, 2002 to $135,927 for the year ended December 31, 2003 due to the fact that most unearned stock compensation became fully amortized to expense during 2003. Deferred stock compensation remaining at December 31, 2003 totaled $26,623 and is expected to be amortized to expense in its entirety during 2004.

        Depreciation.    Depreciation expense decreased slightly from $687,570 during 2002 to $670,436 during 2003. The decrease is due to a general decrease in purchases along with an increasing number of fully depreciated assets.

        Restructuring.    During 2002, we implemented certain workforce reductions and office closures resulting in charges of $579,427, consisting of severance pay and related benefits for former employees as well as costs associated with the closure of the London office. We recognized $118,000 of restructuring expense during 2002 related to the closure of the London office, which consisted of severance and benefits, lease commitments, as well as expected losses on the disposal of fixed assets, attorney and accounting fees, and other costs. As part of these restructurings, we reduced our workforce by a total of 30 employees, of which 17 were technology professionals and 13 were involved in selling, general administration and marketing. As of December 31, 2002, approximately $228,000 of restructuring costs are included in other current liabilities, all of which were paid during 2003. There was no workforce restructuring during 2003.

        Intangibles Amortization.    Intangibles amortization expense consists of amortization of intangibles arising from our acquisitions of Compete, Inc. in May 2000, Core Objective, Inc. in November 2000, and Vertecon and Javelin in April 2002. Amortization decreased from $1,285,524 during the year ended December 31, 2002 to $610,421 during the year ended December 31, 2003. The decrease in amortization expense reflects the end of the assigned three-year useful life for the Compete and Core Objective intangible assets.

        Interest Expense    Interest expense was $203,569 during the year ended December 31, 2002 compared to $285,938 for the year ended December 31, 2003. The increase in interest expense is due to increases of approximately $31,000 related to capital leases, approximately $9,000 related to imputed interest expense on the notes issued to the Javelin shareholders, and approximately $43,000 in bank audit fees, letter of credit renewal fees, and other costs associated with our line of credit facility.

        Provision for Income Taxes.    Our 2003 income tax provision was accrued for federal, state and foreign income tax at the applicable statutory rates. Although we have certain net operating loss carryforwards, substantially all of these losses relate to acquired entities and are subject to limitations due to "Change in control" provisions in the Internal Revenue Code. As such, the deferred tax asset resulting from these net operating loss carryforwards have a valuation allowance against them, and our tax provision does not materially benefit from these net operating loss carryforwards. There was no tax provision for 2002 as a result of the net loss for that period.

Liquidity And Capital Resources

        We have a line of credit arrangement with Silicon Valley Bank that will expire in December 2004. The agreement allows us to borrow up to 80% of eligible accounts receivable as defined in the

18



agreement up to a maximum of $6,000,000. We are also required to comply with certain financial covenants under this agreement which require us to maintain a minimum tangible net worth of at least $3,000,000 and to maintain a ratio of cash plus accounts receivable to current liabilities of at least 1.25 to 1.00 through March 31, 2004, at which time the ratio will increase to at least 1.50 to 1.00. Borrowings under the agreement bear interest at the bank's prime rate plus 1.00% (5.0% as of December 31, 2003). As of December 31, 2003, there were no amounts outstanding under this line of credit and available borrowings totaled $3,072,591.

        In connection with the acquisitions of Javelin and Vertecon in April 2002, we were required to establish various letters of credit totaling $550,000 to serve as collateral for certain office space and equipment leases. These letters of credit reduce the borrowings available under our line of credit facility with Silicon Valley Bank. The letters of credit totaling $300,000 will remain in effect through 2005, and the remaining letter of credit of $250,000 will remain in effect through 2007.

        Cash provided by operations for the year ended December 31, 2003 was $1,885,477. As of December 31, 2003, we had $1,989,395 in cash and working capital of $4,013,373.

        On December 21, 2001, we entered into a Convertible Preferred Stock Purchase agreement under which we sold 1,984,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock for a purchase price of $1.00 per share. In November 2003, all shares of then outstanding Series A Preferred Stock were automatically converted into 2,003,840 shares of common stock. We also issued Warrants to purchase up to 992,000 shares of our common stock in connection with this issuance. As a result of the Series B Preferred Stock issuance (described below), the number of warrants issued to the Series A investors increased to 1,001,604 and the exercise price was adjusted to $1.98 per share.

        We entered into a Convertible Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of June 26, 2002, with 2M Technology Ventures, L.P. under which we sold 1,111,000 shares of our Series B Convertible Preferred Stock to 2M for a purchase price of approximately $0.90 per share. In November 2003, the Series B Preferred stock was automatically converted into 1,111,000 shares of common stock. We have also issued to 2M, a Warrant to purchase up to 555,500 shares of our Common Stock in connection with this sale of Series B Preferred Stock. In February 2004, 2M exercised 277,750 warrants.

        2M had the option to purchase up to an additional 1,666,500 shares of our Series B Convertible Preferred Stock at a price of approximately $0.90 per share exercisable on or before June 26, 2003. 2M would have received a Warrant to purchase one share of our common stock for every two shares of Series B Preferred Stock it purchases pursuant to the option. The option to 2M expired unexercised in June 2003.

        In connection with the acquisition of Javelin, we issued $1.5 million in notes, of which $1 million of the notes are payable in four equal annual installments on the anniversary of the closing date of the acquisition. The other $500,000 is payable in eight equal quarterly installments that commenced in July 2002. Accordingly, we paid $125,000 in 2002 and $500,000 in 2003. We expect to make payments on these notes totaling $375,000 in 2004, $250,000 in 2005, and $250,000 in 2006.

        We have incurred commitments to make future payments under contracts such as leases and certain long-term liabilities. Maturities under these contracts are set forth in the following table of December 31, 2003, in thousands:

 
  Payments due by Period
 
  2004
  2005
  2006
  2007
  2008
  Thereafter
Operating lease obligations   $ 1,183   $ 1,237   $ 574   $ 243   $ 87   $ 35
Note payable to Related Party   $ 333   $ 226   $ 244   $   $   $

        We expect to fund our operations during 2004 from cash generated from operations and short-term borrowings as necessary from our line of credit facility. We believe our existing working

19



capital and line of credit should provide sufficient resources to satisfy our capital requirements through at least 2004. The amount of borrowings available to us is based on a percentage of our receivables. If our capital is insufficient to fund our activities in either the short or long term, we may need to raise additional funds. In the ordinary course of business, we may engage in discussions with various persons in connection with additional financing. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of equity securities, our existing stockholders' percentage ownership will be diluted. These equity securities may also have rights superior to our common stock. Additional debt or equity financing may not be available when needed or on satisfactory terms. If adequate funds are not available on acceptable terms, we may be unable to expand our services, respond to competition, pursue acquisition opportunities or continue our operations.

Critical Accounting Policies

        Consulting revenues are comprised of revenue from professional services fees recognized primarily on a time and materials basis as performed. For fixed fee engagements, revenue is recognized using the proportionate performance method (based on the ratio of hours expended to total estimated hours). Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made on a contract-by-contract basis and are recognized in the period in which such losses are determined. Billings in excess of costs plus earnings are classified as deferred revenues. Our normal payment terms are net 30 days. Our agreement with IBM provides for net 60 days payment terms. Reimbursements for out-of-pocket expenses are included in gross revenue. Revenue from resold software is recorded on a gross basis provided that we act as the principal in the transaction. In the event we do not meet the requirements to be considered the principal in the software resale transaction, we record the revenue on a net basis. There is no effect on net income between recording the software sales on a gross basis versus a net basis. We record an expense for the expected losses on uncollectible accounts receivable each period based on known facts and circumstances for the respective period.

        We adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets ("Statement 142") on January 1, 2002. In accordance with Statement 142, we replaced the ratable amortization of goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets with a periodic review and analysis of such intangibles for possible impairment. In accordance with Statement 142, we assess our goodwill on October 1 of each year or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that goodwill might be impaired.

        Business acquisitions typically result in goodwill and other intangible assets, and the recorded values of those assets may become impaired in the future. The determination of the value of such intangible assets requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect our consolidated financial statements. We assess potential impairments to intangible assets on an annual basis or when there is evidence that events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recovered. Our judgments regarding the existence of impairment indicators and future cash flows related to intangible assets are based on operational performance of the acquired businesses, market conditions and other factors. Future events could cause us to conclude that impairment indicators exist and that goodwill associated with the acquired businesses is impaired. Any resulting impairment loss could have an adverse impact on our results of operations by decreasing net income.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Perficient, Inc. and Subsidiaries

        We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Perficient, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2002 and 2003, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

        We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

        In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Perficient, Inc. and Subsidiaries at December 31, 2002 and 2003, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

PERFICIENT, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2003

1. Business Overview

        Perficient, Inc. (the "Company") is an eBusiness solutions provider to large and major midsize companies and Internet software vendors. The Company enables its clients and partners to optimize profitability and strengthen customer relationships through reliable, quick-to-market eBusiness solutions. The Company provides a broad range of end-to-end business and technology solutions with a focus on serving the financial services, healthcare, technology and energy industries.

        The Company was incorporated on September 17, 1997 in Texas. The Company began operations in 1997 and is structured as a "C" corporation. On May 3, 1999 the Company reincorporated in Delaware. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All material inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates

        The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and such differences could be material to the financial statements.

Revenue Recognition

        Revenues are primarily derived from professional services provided on a time and materials basis, with the remaining revenue derived from fixed fee engagements and software sales. For time and material contracts, revenue is recognized and billed by multiplying the number of hours expended in the performance of the contract by the established billing rates. For fixed fee projects, revenue is generally recognized using the proportionate performance method based on the ratio of hours expended to total estimated hours. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made on a contract-by-contract basis and are recognized in the period in which such losses are determined. Billings in excess of costs plus earnings are classified as deferred revenues. On many projects the Company is also reimbursed for out-of-pocket expenses such as airfare, lodging and meals. These reimbursements are included as a component of revenue in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board's Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") 01-14, Income Statement Characterization of Reimbursements Received for "Out-of-Pocket" Expenses Incurred. In accordance with EITF 99-19, Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal versus Net as an Agent, revenue from software resales is recorded on a gross basis based on the Company's role as principal in the transaction. As provided in EITF 99-19 criteria to be considered "principal", the Company is the primary obligator and bears the associated credit risk in the transaction. In the event the Company does not meet the requirements to be considered a principal in the software resale transaction and acts as an agent, the revenue would be recorded on a net basis.

Cash Equivalents

        Cash equivalents consist primarily of cash deposits and investments with original maturities of ninety days or less when purchased.

F-7



Advertising Expense

        The cost of advertising is expensed as incurred. Advertising costs for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2003 were not material.

Property and Equipment

        Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation of property and equipment is computed using the straight-line method over the useful lives of the assets (generally 2 to 5 years). Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the life of the lease or the estimated useful life of the assets. Amortization of assets recorded under capital leases is computed using the straight-line method and is included in depreciation expense. The cost and accumulated amortization of assets recorded under capital leases was approximately $412,000 and $52,000, respectively, at December 31, 2002 and approximately $412,000 and $134,000, respectively, at December 31, 2003.

Intangible Assets

        Intangible assets, primarily resulting from purchase business combinations, are being amortized using the straight-line method with a life of two to three years for employment and non-compete agreements and a life of three to five years for customer relationship intangibles. Intangible assets consist of the following:

 
  December 31,
 
 
  2002
  2003
 
Cost:              
Employment and noncompete agreements   $ 550,000   $ 550,000  
Customer relationships     3,600,000     3,600,000  
Goodwill     36,384,000     36,308,000  

Accumulated amortization:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
Employment and noncompete agreements     (370,000 )   (518,000 )
Customer relationships     (2,805,000 )   (3,267,000 )
Goodwill     (24,979,000 )   (24,979,000 )
   
 
 
Net Book Value:   $ 12,380,000   $ 11,694,000  
   
 
 

        Amortization expense for employment, non-compete agreements, and customer relationships is expected to be approximately $132,237 in 2004, $100,000 in 2005, $100,000 in 2006, and $32,237 in 2007.

        On January 1, 2002, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") 141, Business Combinations, and SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. Under these rules, ratable amortization of intangibles assets with indefinite lives, including goodwill, has been replaced with periodic review and analysis to assess possible impairment. Intangible assets with definite lives must be amortized over their estimated useful lives. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, the Company assesses its goodwill on October 1 of each year or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that goodwill might be impaired. The goodwill impairment test is a two-step

F-8



process. The first step of the impairment analysis compares the fair value to the net book value. In determining fair value, management utilizes a blended approach and calculates fair value based on market capitalization, revenue and earnings multiples based on industry comparables, and discounted cash flow analysis. Step two of the analysis compares the implied fair value of goodwill to its carrying amount. If the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, an impairment loss is recognized equal to that excess.

        Business acquisitions typically result in goodwill and other intangible assets, and the recorded values of those assets may become impaired in the future. The determination of the value of such intangible assets requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the Company's consolidated financial statements. Management assesses potential impairments to intangible assets on an annual basis or when there is evidence that events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recovered. Management's judgments regarding the existence of impairment indicators and future cash flows related to intangible assets are based on operational performance of the acquired businesses, market conditions and other factors. Future events could cause management to conclude that impairment indicators exist and that goodwill associated with the acquired businesses is impaired. Any resulting impairment loss could have an adverse impact on the Company's results of operations by decreasing net income.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

        The Company evaluates its long-lived assets in accordance with SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets. Long-lived assets held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their net book value may not be entirely recoverable. When such factors and circumstances exist, the Company compares the projected undiscounted future cash flows associated with the related asset or group of assets over their estimated useful lives against their respective carrying amounts. Impairment, if any, is based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of those assets and is recorded in the period in which the determination was made. The Company adopted SFAS No. 144 as of January 1, 2002.

Income Taxes

        The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. This Statement prescribes the use of the liability method whereby deferred tax asset and liability account balances are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse.

Foreign Currency Transactions

        For the Company's foreign subsidiaries, the functional currency has been determined to be the local currency, and therefore, assets and liabilities are translated at year-end or period-end exchange rates, and income statement items are translated at average exchange rates prevailing during the year or period. Such translation adjustments are recorded in aggregate as a component of stockholders' equity. Gains and losses from foreign currency denominated transactions, including a $7,500 loss during 2002 and a $15,800 gain in 2003, are included in other income (expense). Due to the on-going

F-9



liquidation of the United Kingdom subsidiary, a foreign currency gain of $15,500 was transferred from cumulative translation adjustments and included as a component of net income for the year ended December 31, 2003.

Segments

        The Company follows the provisions of the SFAS No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information. SFAS No. 131 requires a business enterprise, based upon a management approach, to disclose financial and descriptive information about its operating segments. Operating segments are components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available and regularly evaluated by the chief operating decision maker(s) of an enterprise. Under this definition, the Company operates as a single segment for all periods presented. The Company's chief operating decision maker is considered to be the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board. The chief operating decision maker allocates resources and assesses performance of the business and other activities at the consolidated level.

Earnings Per Share

        The Company follows the provisions of SFAS No. 128, Earnings Per Share. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share includes the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and the number of equivalent shares which would be issued related to the stock options and warrants using the treasury method, contingently issuance shares, and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method, unless such additional equivalent shares are anti-dilutive.

Stock-Based Compensation

        SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, prescribes accounting and reporting standards for all stock-based compensation plans, including employee stock options. As allowed by SFAS No. 123, the Company has elected to account for its employee stock-based compensation in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting For Stock Issued To Employees, ("APB 25"), which allows the use of the intrinsic value method. The Company's basis for electing accounting treatment under APB 25 is principally due to the satisfactory incorporation of the dilutive effect of these shares in the reported earnings per share calculation and the presence of pro forma supplemental disclosure of the estimated fair value methodology prescribed by SFAS No. 123 and SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure. The fair value of options was calculated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions for the year ended December 31, 2002 and 2003, respectively: risk free interest rate of 3.5% and 2.98%; dividend yield of 0%; weighted-average expected life of options of 5 years; and a volatility factor of 1.066 and 1.515.

        The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options which have no vesting restrictions and which are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models in general require the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected stock price volatility. Because the Company's employee stock options have characteristics significantly

F-10



different than traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management's opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a single reliable measure of the fair value of its stock options.

        The following table illustrates the effect on net income (loss) and earnings per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123:

 
  Year ended December 31,
 
 
  2002
  2003
 
Net income (loss) available to common stockholders—as reported   $ (4,230,803 ) $ 892,400

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

        Cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, other accrued liabilities, and debt are stated at cost which approximates fair value due to the short-term maturity of these instruments.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

        In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Interpretation No. 46 ("FIN 46"), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities. FIN 46 requires that if an entity has a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity, the assets, liabilities and results of activities of the variable interest entity should be included in the consolidated financial statements of the entity. FIN 46 is effective immediately for all new variable interest entities created or acquired after January 31, 2003. For variable interest entities created or acquired prior to February 1, 2003, the provisions of FIN 46 must be applied for the first interim or annual period beginning after December 15, 2003. Management does not believe that the adoption of FIN 46 will have a material impact on the Company's consolidated results of operations or financial position.

        In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity. SFAS No. 150 establishes standards on the classification and measurement of certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. The

F-11



provisions of SFAS No. 150 are effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and to all other instruments that exist as of the beginning of the first interim financial reporting period beginning after June 15, 2003. The changes that resulted from the issuance of SFAS No. 150 did not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated results of operations or financial position.

        In December 2003, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 104, Revenue Recognition, which codifies, revises and rescinds certain sections of SAB No. 101, Revenue Recognition, in order to make this interpretive guidance consistent with current authoritative accounting and auditing guidance and SEC rules and regulations. The changes noted in SAB No. 104 did not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated results of operations, consolidated financial position or consolidated cash flows.

3. Net Income (Loss) Per Share

        Computations of the net income (loss) per share are as follows:

 
  Year Ended December 31,

F-12



issuable shares resulting from business combinations, and shares of common stock issuable upon the conversion of convertible preferred stock is anti-dilutive due to the Company's net loss for that period. Diluted net loss per share for the year ended December 31, 2002 excludes common stock equivalents of 4,274,225.

4. Concentration of Credit Risk and Significant Customers

        Cash and accounts receivable potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk. Excess cash is placed with highly rated financial institutions. The Company provides credit, in the normal course of business, to its customers. The Company generally does not require collateral or up front payments. The Company performs periodic credit evaluations of its customers and maintains allowances for potential credit losses. Customers can be denied access to services in the event of non-payment. In August 2003, the Company entered into a one-year extension of its existing services agreement with IBM under which the Company provides deployment, integration and training services to IBM's WebSphere™ customers which are billed on a time and materials basis. The agreement will expire on September 1, 2004. The current contract stipulates that IBM may cancel the contract prior to its expiration date of September 1, 2004 upon 5 days written notice. Revenue from IBM accounted for approximately 35% of total revenue for both 2002 and 2003, and accounts receivable from IBM accounted for approximately 35% and 37% of total accounts receivable as of December 31, 2002 and December 31, 2003, respectively. In the event that IBM is no longer a customer following the cancellation or termination of the Company's current agreement, the Company's revenue would decrease significantly and, as with the loss of any significant customer, management may need to counteract this type of revenue decrease by reducing headcount to align with the lower demand for the Company's services. Due to the Company's significant fixed operating expenses, the loss of sales to IBM could result in the Company's inability to generate net income for some time in the future.

5. Employee Benefit Plan

        The Company has a qualified 401(k) profit sharing plan available to full-time employees who meet the plan's eligibility requirements. This defined contribution plan permits employees to make contributions up to maximum limits allowed by the Internal Revenue Code. The Company, at its discretion, matches a portion of the employee's contribution under a predetermined formula based on the level of contribution and years of vesting services. The Company made matching contributions equal to 25% of the first 6% of employee contributions totaling $130,000 and $143,000 during 2002 and 2003, respectively, which vest over a three year period of service. The Company's related costs for the plan were approximately $32,000 and $19,000 during 2002 and 2003, respectively.

6. Stockholders' Equity

Preferred Stock

        The Company entered into a Convertible Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of June 26, 2002, with 2M Technology Ventures, L.P. ("2M") under which the Company sold 1,111,000 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share ("Series B Preferred Stock"), to 2M for a purchase price of approximately $0.90 per share. The Company used the proceeds from the sale of the Series B Preferred Stock to strengthen its working capital position and for other

F-13



corporate purposes. Each share of Series B Preferred Stock was initially convertible into one share of Perficient common stock at the election of the holder. The agreement also stipulated criteria for the automatic conversion of Series B preferred shares into common shares in the event that the closing price for Perficient's common stock is greater than $3 per share for 20 consecutive days with an average trading volume greater than 50,000 shares over that same period. As of November 11, 2003, the criteria for automatic conversion were met, and accordingly, all outstanding shares of Series B preferred stock were converted to 1,111,000 shares of common stock. The Company has also issued to 2M a Warrant to purchase up to 555,500 shares of Perficient common stock in connection with this sale of Series B Preferred Stock.

        2M was given the option to purchase up to an additional 1,666,500 shares of Series B Preferred Stock on the same terms as described above, however, this option was not exercised and expired on June 26, 2003.

        Simultaneously with the sale of shares to 2M by the Company, 2M purchased from Steven Papermaster, Robert Anderson and Bryan Menell, 300,000, 100,000 and 100,000 shares of Perficient common stock, respectively, for $0.75 per share. Mr. Papermaster was a member of the Company's Board of Directors at the time of the transaction and each of Messrs. Papermaster, Menell and Anderson are or had been significant holders of Perficient common stock.

        In addition, the Company entered into Registration Rights Agreements with 2M pursuant to which the Company filed on October 10, 2002 a preliminary registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission covering the resale of the shares of common stock issuable upon the conversion of the Series B preferred stock (and exercise of the Warrants) sold in the private placement. Each share of Series B preferred stock had voting rights equal to the number of shares of common stock into which the preferred stock could then be converted. The Series B preferred stock accrued dividends payable in our common stock at an annual rate per share equal to $0.90 multiplied by an 8% interest rate. Accrued dividends on the Series B preferred stock totaled approximately $41,205 as of December 31, 2002 and $110,027 as of November 10, 2003, the date of the automatic conversion. The accrued dividends on the Series B preferred stock were forfeited under the terms of the automatic conversion.

        In connection with Series B preferred stock issuance, the Company recognized a beneficial conversion charge equal to approximately $459,000, which represents the intrinsic value of the feature using a fair market value of common stock of $1.16 and an exchange ratio of 1.34:1, in accordance with EITF 98-5, Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios, and EITF 00-27, Application of EITF Issue 98-5, Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features, or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios, to Certain Convertible Instruments. The beneficial conversion charge was calculated by first deducting the value of the warrants issued from the proceeds to compute an effective conversion ratio. The warrants were valued at approximately $170,000 using the Black-Scholes valuation model, an assumed volatility of 50%, a risk-free interest rate of 3.5%, a weighted-average expected life of 4 years, and a dividend rate of 0%.

        The Company entered into a Convertible Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of December 21, 2001, with a limited number of investors under which the Company sold 1,984,000 shares

F-14



of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock ("Series A") to such investors for a purchase price of $1.00 per share, for gross proceeds of $1,984,000. The Company used the proceeds from the sale of the Series A Preferred Stock to strengthen its working capital position and for other corporate purposes. Each share of Series A preferred stock was initially convertible into one share of Perficient common stock at the election of the holder, based on a conversion ratio as defined in the agreement, initially set at $1 and adjusted from time to time based on certain anti-dilution provisions. The Company has also issued warrants to purchase 992,000 shares of Perficient common stock in connection with this sale of Series A preferred stock. For every two shares of Series A preferred stock purchased by an investor, such investor received a Warrant to purchase one share of Perficient common stock at an initial exercise price of $2.00 per share of common stock. In addition, the Company entered into Registration Rights Agreements with each of the purchasers pursuant to which the Company filed a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission covering the resale of the shares of common stock issuable upon the conversion of the Series A preferred stock (and exercise of the Warrants) sold in the private placement which registration statement was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 10, 2002. Each share of Series A preferred stock had voting rights equal to the number of shares of common stock into which the preferred stock could then be converted. The Series A preferred stock accrues dividends at an annual rate per share equal to $1.00 multiplied by the prime rate plus 150 basis points. Accrued dividends on the Series A preferred stock totaled approximately $121,808 as of December 31, 2002 and $210,617 on November 10, 2003, the automatic conversion date. The company paid cash dividends totaling $45,457 to certain holders of Series A Preferred Stock who had voluntarily elected to convert their holdings to common stock prior to the automatic conversion date. The accrued dividends on the Series A preferred stock that was not voluntarily converted prior to November 10, 2003 were forfeited under the terms of the automatic conversion.

        In connection with Series A preferred stock issuance, the Company recognized a beneficial conversion charge equal to approximately $1,180,000, which represents the intrinsic value of the feature using a fair market value of common stock of $1.38 and an exchange ratio of 1.27:1, in accordance with EITF 98-5, Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios, and EITF 00-27, Application of EITF Issue 98-5, Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features, or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios, to Certain Convertible Instruments. The beneficial conversion charge was calculated by first deducting the value of the warrants issued from the proceeds to compute an effective conversion ratio. The warrants were valued at approximately $427,000 using the Black Scholes valuation model, an assumed volatility of 50%, a risk-free interest rate of 3.5%, a weighted-average expected life of 4 years, and a dividend rate of 0%.

        The Company obtained access to $825,000 of the proceeds from the Series A preferred stock issuance in January 2002. The remainder of the funds remained in escrow subject to the completion of the acquisitions of Javelin Solutions, Inc. and Primary Webworks, Inc. d/b/a Vertecon, Inc.. The Company obtained access to the remaining $1,159,000 in May 2002.

        As a result of the Series B issuance discussed above, the conversion ratio for the Series A preferred stock decreased to approximately $0.99. Additionally, as a result of the Series B preferred stock issuance, the number of warrants issued to the Series A investors increased to 1,001,920 and the

F-15


exercise price was adjusted to approximately $1.98 per share. A beneficial conversion charge of $22,000 related to the change in the Series A preferred stock conversion ratio and a beneficial conversion charge of $11,000 related to the increase in the number of common shares issuable upon the exercise of the warrants was recognized during the second quarter of 2002.

Common Stock

        In May 1999, the Company's Board of Directors and stockholders approved the 1999 Stock Option/Stock Issuance Plan (the "1999 Plan"). The 1999 Plan contains programs for (i) the discretionary granting of stock options to employees, non-employee board members and consultants for the purchase of shares of the Company's commons stock, (ii) the discretionary issuance of common stock directly to eligible individuals, and (iii) the automatic issuance of stock options to non-employee board members. The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors administers the 1999 Plan, and determines the exercise price and vesting period for each grant. Options granted under the 1999 Plan have a maximum term of 10 years. In the event that the Company is acquired, whether by merger or asset sale or board-approved sale by the stockholders of more than 50% of the Company's voting stock, each outstanding option under the discretionary option grant program which is not to be assumed by the successor corporation or otherwise continued will automatically accelerate in full, and all unvested shares under the discretionary option grant and stock issuance programs will immediately vest, except to the extent the Company's repurchase rights with respect to those shares are to be assigned to the successor corporation or otherwise continued in effect. The compensation committee may grant options under the discretionary option grant program that will accelerate in the acquisition even if the options are assumed or that will accelerate if the optionee's service is subsequently terminated. The compensation committee may grant options and issue shares that accelerate in connection with a hostile change in control effected through a successful tender offer for more than 50% of the Company's outstanding voting stock or by proxy contest for the election of board members, or the options and shares may accelerate upon a subsequent termination of the individual's service.

        The Company has granted stock options to various employees under the terms of the respective employee agreements. The stock options generally vest over three years. The term of each option is ten years from the date of grant.

        The Company recognized $240,688 and $135,927 of stock compensation expense during 2002 and 2003, respectively, as a result of options granted to employees with exercise prices below the fair market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant, certain modifications to existing options, and the grant of options to certain non-employees. During 2002, the Company recognized deferred compensation totaling $266,173 related to the acquisition of Javelin that is being amortized over the vesting period of the related options. Stock-compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the related vesting periods. Stock compensation expense for option grants to non-employees was determined using a Black-Scholes pricing model.

7. Line of Credit and Long Term Debt

        The Company has a line of credit facility providing for a borrowing capacity of up to $6,000,000 or 80% of the eligible receivables, subject to certain borrowing base calculations as defined. Borrowings under this agreement, which expires December 2004, bear interest at the bank's prime rate plus 1.00% (5.00% at December 31, 2003). The Company is required to maintain certain financial covenants under this agreement. The line of credit is collateralized by substantially all the assets of the Company.

8. Income Taxes

        As of December 31, 2003, the Company had tax net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $2.4 million that will begin to expire in 2019 if not utilized.

        Utilization of net operating losses may be subject to an annual limitation due to the "change in ownership" provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. The annual limitation may result in the expiration of net operating losses before utilization.

        Significant components of the provision for income taxes attributable to continuing operations are as follows:

Net deferred tax assets     370,901     236,179  
   
 
 
Net deferred taxes   $   $  
   
 
 

        The Company has established a valuation allowance equal to the net deferred tax assets due to uncertainties regarding the realization of deferred tax assets based on the Company's lack of earnings history. The valuation allowance increased by approximately $1,152,000 during 2002 and decreased by approximately $330,000 during 2003. The 2003 decrease is primarily due to the use of tax attributes that were not previously benefited. As of December 31, 2003, approximately $693,000 of the valuation allowance relates to acquired entities, and as such, if realized, will reduce goodwill or other noncurrent intangible assets prior to resulting in an income tax benefit.

        Undistributed earnings of the Company's foreign subsidiary are considered to be permanently reinvested and, accordingly, no provision for US federal and/or state income taxes has been provided thereon.

F-20



        The Company's provision for income taxes differs from the expected tax expense (benefit) amount computed by applying the statutory federal income tax rate of 34% to income before income taxes as a result of the following:

 
  Year Ended December 31,
 
 
  2002

2008     86,610
Thereafter     34,671
   
Total minimum lease payments   $ 3,358,124
   

        Rent expense for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2003 was $1,281,000 and $1,322,000, respectively. The Company expects to receive sublease income of $220,000 during 2004, $27,000 during 2005 and 2006, and $11,000 during 2005. The expected sublease amounts are reflected as a reduction of the lease commitments presented above.

        As required by certain of the Company's office and equipment leases, the Company has established letters of credit totaling $550,000 to serve as collateral for these certain leases. These letters of credit reduce the amount of borrowing available under the Company's line of credit.

        The Company signed a new employment agreement with its CEO, effective January 1, 2004.

13. Related Party Transaction

        During 2002, the Company executed an amendment to a non-compete agreement with a former employee, and as consideration, the Company required this individual to sell a portion of his holdings totaling 400,000 shares of Perficient common stock. With the consent of the Company, John T. McDonald, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, purchased 133,333 shares from this individual at a price of $0.375 per share.

14. Business Combinations

        On April 26, 2002, the Company consummated the acquisition of Primary Webworks, Inc. d/b/a Vertecon, Inc. ("Vertecon"), a Missouri corporation, through the merger of Vertecon with and into a wholly-owned subsidiary, Perficient Vertecon, Inc., a Delaware corporation. Perficient Vertecon, Inc. is the surviving corporation to the merger. Vertecon was a St. Louis based eBusiness Solutions provider that used advanced technology solutions to create competitive business advantages for its clients. Vertecon provided its customers with comprehensive solutions across the e-Business life cycle, including strategy, architecture, design, development and implementation services. The Company acquired Vertecon for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $3,247,000, subject to certain post-closing adjustments. The purchase price consisted of 1,994,586 shares of Perficient common stock, of which approximately 551,985 shares were held in escrow until April 2003 at which time 44,787 shares of common stock were forfeited and canceled in accordance with the escrow agreement, the assumption of outstanding Vertecon options and direct acquisition costs. The common stock issued in the Vertecon

F-23



acquisition was valued at $1.44 per share, which represents the average close price of the Company's common stock at the announcement of the acquisition in October 2001. The acquisition of Vertecon was consummated in order to increase and diversify Perficient's revenue base, add significant and longstanding customer relationships, provide geographic expansion into the St. Louis market, increase the number of qualified information technology consultants, and add experienced members of management among other factors. The majority of the excess cost over fair value of assets is attributed to the at-will workforce and, accordingly, is recorded as goodwill.

        On April 26, 2002, the Company consummated the acquisition of Javelin Solutions, Inc. ("Javelin"), a Minnesota "S" corporation, through the merger of Javelin with and into a wholly-owned subsidiary, Perficient Javelin, Inc., a Delaware corporation. Perficient Javelin, Inc. is the surviving corporation to the merger. Javelin Solutions, Inc. was a Minneapolis-based professional services firm providing eBusiness strategy consulting, application design, implementation and integration services to large and major midsize companies. Javelin helped its clients define eBusiness strategies to improve their competitive position and business efficiency and would then design, architect, develop and implement solutions to execute those strategies. Javelin would seek to solve complex eBusiness challenges and create solutions that provided its clients with significant competitive advantages. Javelin offered a full range of integrated services consisting of strategic consulting, design of information architectures, and the creation, customization and implementation of software applications. Javelin also provided consulting services to help clients address security issues and web hosting decisions. As part of these services, Javelin provided application management services for its clients. The Company acquired Javelin for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $5,951,000, subject to certain post-closing adjustments. The purchase price consists of 2,216,255 shares of Perficient common stock, of which approximately 1,108,127 shares were held in escrow until released in April 2003, $1,500,000 in non-interest bearing promissory notes, the assumption of outstanding Javelin options and direct acquisition costs. The notes issued consist of $1,000,000 that are payable in four equal annual installments, and $500,000 (all unpaid installments of these notes issued to certain employee shareholders are subject to forfeiture upon the termination of such employee shareholder for any reason during the two year period following the closing) that are payable in eight quarterly installments. The common stock issued in the Javelin acquisition was valued at $1.70 per share, which represents the average close price of the Company's common stock at the announcement of the acquisition in October 2001. The note payable was discounted using an assumed interest rate of 7.5%. The acquisition of Javelin was consummated in order to increase and diversify Perficient's revenue base, add significant and longstanding customer relationships, provide geographic expansion into the Minneapolis market, increase the number of qualified information technology consultants, and add experienced members of management among other factors. The majority of the excess cost over fair value of assets is attributed to the at-will workforce and, accordingly, is recorded as goodwill.

Exhibit 10.19


EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

        THIS EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT dated effective as of January 1, 2004, between Perficient, Inc. a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and John T. McDonald ("Employee").

WITNESSETH:

        WHEREAS, the Company desires that Employee continue to be employed by it and render services to it, and Employee is willing to be so employed and to render such services to the Company, all upon the terms and subject to the conditions contained herein.

        NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

        1.    EMPLOYMENT.    Subject to and upon the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement, the Company hereby agrees to continue to employ Employee and Employee agrees to continue in the employ of the Company, for the period set forth in Paragraph 2 hereof, to render to the Company, its affiliates and/or subsidiaries the services described in Paragraph 3 hereof.

        2.    TERM.    Employee's term of employment under this Agreement shall be two years, commencing as of the date hereof and continuing through and including December 31, 2005, unless extended in writing as provided below or earlier terminated pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth herein (the "Employment Term").

        4.    BEST EFFORTS.    Employee agrees to devote his best efforts, energies and skill to the discharge of the duties and responsibilities attributable to his position.

        5.    COMPENSATION.    

            (a)   As compensation for his services and covenants hereunder, Employee shall receive a salary ("Salary"), payable pursuant to the Company's normal payroll procedures in place from time to time, at the rate of $225,000 per annum, less all necessary and required federal, state and local payroll deductions. Employee shall be entitled to have his salary increased to $250,000 per annum, less all necessary and required federal, state and local payroll deductions, if the Company's net revenue per quarter equals or exceeds ten million dollars at any time following January 1, 2004. Employee shall be entitled to receive additional salary increases as may be determined from time to time by the Board of Directors of the Company.

            (b)   Employee shall be entitled to a bonus equal to one-hundred percent (100%) of his Salary at plan, less all necessary and required federal, state and local payroll deductions to be paid on January 15 following the year the bonus is accrued. The criteria for determining the amount of Employee's bonus, and the conditions to be satisfied for the receipt thereof, shall be determined in a manner consistent with that used to date and agreed upon by the Board of Directors of the Company and Employee.

            (c)   In addition, Employee shall be entitled to receive such other bonuses as may be determined from time to time by the Board of Directors of the Company and shall be eligible to receive stock options entitling Employee to acquire shares of Common Stock under the Company's 1999 Stock Option/Stock Issuance Plan, and successor plans, pursuant to the policies of the



    Company from time to time to generally make available stock options, to executive employees. As further consideration for the agreements and covenants hereunder, the Company hereby grants to Employee an option to purchase 150,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company, exercisable at the closing price of the Common Stock as of the date hereof, for each year of service hereunder (both such grants to be made on the date hereof). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any stock option agreement between Employee and the Company, all stock options granted to Employee shall continue to vest in accordance with their schedule and shall not terminate if Employee ceases to be an employee of the Company as long as Employee continues to serve as an officer, director or consultant of the Company.

        6.    EXPENSES.    Employee shall be reimbursed for, and entitled to advances (subject to repayment to the Company if not actually incurred by Employee) with respect to those business expenses incurred by him which are reasonable and necessary for Employee to perform his duties under this Agreement in accordance with policies established from time to time by the Company. Employee shall receive reimbursement for other expenses consistent with past practice and as approved by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors.

        7.    EMPLOYEE BENEFITS.    

            (a)   During the Employment Term and any severance period hereunder, Employee shall be entitled to such insurance, disability and health and medical benefits and be entitled to participate in such retirement plans or programs as are from time to time generally made available to executive employees of the Company pursuant to the policies of the Company; PROVIDED THAT Employee shall be required to comply with the conditions attendant to coverage by such plans and shall comply with and be entitled to benefits only in accordance with the terms and conditions of such plans. The Company may withhold from any benefits payable to Employee all federal, state, local and other taxes and amounts as shall be permitted or required to be withheld pursuant to any applicable law, rule or regulation.

        8.    DEATH AND DISABILITY.    

            (a)   The Employment Term shall terminate on the date of Employee's death, in which event Employee's Salary, reimbursable expenses and benefits owing to Employee through the date of Employee's death shall be paid to his estate, plus a lump sum equal to two year's Salary. Employee's estate will not be entitled to any other compensation upon termination of this Agreement pursuant to this subparagraph 8(a).

            (b)   The Employment term shall terminate upon Employee's Disability. For purposes of this Agreement, "Disability" shall mean a physical or mental disability or infirmity that prevents the material performance by Employee of his duties hereunder lasting for a continuous period of six months or longer. The reasoned and good faith judgment of the Company's Board of Directors as to Disability shall be based on such competent medical evidence as shall be presented to it by Employee or by any physician or group of physicians or other competent medical experts employed by Employee or the Company to advise the Company's Board of Directors. In case of such termination, Employee shall be entitled to receive his Salary, reimbursable expenses and benefits owing to Employee through the date of termination. In addition, the Company shall pay to Employee, within 60 days of the date of Employee's termination, in a lump-sum, an amount equal to Employee's then annual Salary. Employee will not be entitled to any other compensation upon termination of his employment pursuant to this subparagraph 8(b).

        9.    TERMINATION.    

            (a)   The Company shall have the right, upon delivery of written notice to the Employee, to terminate the Employee's employment hereunder prior to the expiration of the Employment Term (i) pursuant to a Termination for Cause or (ii) pursuant to a Without Cause Termination (all as defined below). The Employee shall have the right, upon delivery of written notice to the Company, to terminate his employment hereunder prior to the expiration of the Employment Term by providing the Company with not less than 30 days prior written notice.

            (b)   In the event that the Company terminates the Employee's employment pursuant to a Without Cause Termination (other than in connection with or following a Change in Control (as defined below)), the Company shall make a payment to the Employee in an amount equal to two year's Salary, payable in installments through regular payroll, and shall pay Employee his reimbursable expenses and benefits owing to Employee through the day on which Employee is terminated. Employee shall also be entitled to benefits during such period pursuant to Section 7 hereof and the use of his office and administrative assistant. No other payments shall be made, or benefits provided, by the Company under this Agreement in the event of a Without Cause Termination. In the event of a Without Cause termination, any and all options, agreements or rights to purchase securities of the Company granted to the Employee shall vest in their entirety, regardless of the satisfaction of any conditions contained therein.

            (c)   In the event that the Company terminates the Employee's employment hereunder due to a Termination for Cause or the Employee terminates employment with the Company, the Company shall be released from any and all further obligations under this Agreement, except that the Company shall be obligated to pay Employee his Salary, reimbursable expenses and benefits owing to Employee through the day on which Employee is terminated. Employee will not be entitled to any other compensation upon termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Paragraph 9(c).

                (i)  The term "Termination for Cause" means, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, a termination of the Employee's employment by the Company attributed to (a) the repeated willful failure of Employee substantially to perform his duties hereunder (other than any such failure due to physical or mental illness) that has not been cured reasonably promptly after a written demand for substantial performance is delivered to Employee by the Company's Board of Directors, which demand identifies the manner in which the Company's Board of Directors believes that Employee has not substantially performed his duties hereunder; (b) conviction of, or entering a plea of nolo contendere to, a crime that constitutes a felony; (c) Employee's engaging in conduct that is intentional or grossly negligent that results in material injury to the Company; or (d) the material breach by Employee of any written covenant or agreement with the Company under this Agreement or otherwise, including, but not limited to, an agreement not to disclose any information pertaining to the Company or not to compete with the Company, including (without limitation) the covenants and agreements contained in paragraph 11 hereof.

               (ii)  The term "Without Cause Termination" means a termination of the Employee's employment by the Company other than due to (a) a Termination for Cause, (b) Disability, (c) the Employee's death, or (d) the expiration of this Agreement.

        10.    CHANGE IN CONTROL—TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT AND COMPENSATION IN EVENT OF TERMINATION.    

            (a)   After a Change in Control (as defined below) of the Company has occurred, if the Company (or any successor thereto) terminates Employee's employment with the Company,

3


    pursuant to a Without Cause Termination or a With Cause Termination, or if the Employee terminates his employment voluntarily, at any time after the Change in Control, Employee shall be entitled to receive a lump-sum payment (the "Termination Compensation"), in cash, on the Termination Date, in an amount of two year's Salary and target bonus. In addition, and notwithstanding anything contained in any other agreement, including any stock option agreement between the Company and the Employee, immediately prior to a Change of Control, any and all options, agreements or rights to purchase securities of the Company granted to the Employee shall vest in their entirety, regardless of the satisfaction of any conditions contained therein. In addition, for a period of two years following such Termination Date, Employee shall also be entitled to benefits pursuant to Section 7 hereof and the use of his office and administrative assistant.

            (b)   For purposes hereof, a "Change In Control" shall be deemed to have occurred if: (i) any "person" or "group" (as such terms are used in Sections 3(a)(9) and 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Act")) becomes a "beneficial owner" (as such term is used in Rule13d-3 promulgated under the Act), after the date hereof, directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing 50% or more of the combined voting power of the Company's then outstanding securities; (ii) a change in "control" of the Company (as the term "control" is defined in Rule 12b-2 under the act or any successor rule promulgated under the Act) shall have occurred; (iii) the stockholders of the Company approve a plan of complete liquidation of the Company or an agreement for the sale or disposition by the Company of all or substantially all of the Company's assets; or (iv) the stockholders of the Company approve a merger or consolidation of the Company with any other company, other than a merger or consolidation which would result in the combined voting power of the Company's voting securities outstanding immediately prior thereto continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the surviving entity) more than 50% of the combined voting power of the voting securities of the Company or such surviving entity outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any transaction involving a leveraged buyout or other acquisition of the Company which would otherwise constitute a Change in Control, in which Employee participates in the surviving or successor entity (other than solely as an employee or consultant), shall not constitute a Change in Control.

        11.    DISCLOSURE OF TRADE SECRETS AND OTHER PROPRIETARY INFORMATION; RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS.    

            (a)   Employee acknowledges that he is bound by the terms of the Company's Confidentiality and Intellectual Property Agreement.

            (b)   Employee will not, during the term of this Agreement, directly or indirectly, as an employee, employer, consultant, agent, principal, partner, manager, stockholder, officer, director, or in any other individual or representative capacity, engage in or participate in any business that is competitive with the business of the Company. The ownership by Employee of 5% or less of the issued and outstanding shares of a class of securities which is traded on a national securities exchange or in the over-the-counter market, shall not cause Employee to be deemed a shareholder under this subparagraph 11(b) or constitute a breach of this subparagraph 11(b). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the ownership by Beekman Ventures, Inc. or any affiliate of Beekman Ventures, Inc. or any stockholder, officer, director or agent of Beekman Ventures, Inc. ("BV") in connection with the activities of BV as a venture capital firm, and the services provided by Employee to BV in connection with, any investment in any private or public company shall not be deemed to be a breach of any of the provisions of this Agreement and of this paragraph (b) of this Agreement.

            (c)   Employee will not, during the term of this Agreement and for a period of 24 months thereafter, directly or indirectly, work as an employee, employer, consultant, agent, principal, partner, manager, stockholder, officer, director, or in any other individual or representative

4



    capacity for any person or entity who or which was competitive with the business of providing virtual professional services organizations to Internet service corporations during the term of Employee's employment with the Company. The ownership by Employee of 5% or less of the issued and outstanding shares of a class of securities which is traded on a national securities exchange or in the over-the-counter market, shall not cause Employee to be deemed a shareholder under this subparagraph 11(c) or constitute a breach of this subparagraph 11(c). Employee's participation as a director or advisor in a company or other business enterprise in which BV has an interest shall not be deemed to be a violation of this Agreement.

            (d)   Employee will not, during the term of this Agreement and for a period of 24 months thereafter, on his behalf or on behalf of any other business enterprise, directly or indirectly, under any circumstance other than at the direction and for the benefit of the Company, (i) solicit for employment any person employed by the Company or any of its subsidiaries, or (ii) call on, solicit, or take away any person or entity who or which was a customer of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates during Employee's employment with the Company for a business that is competitive with the business of providing virtual professional services organizations to Internet service corporations. Employee's participation as a director or advisor in a company or other business enterprise in which BV has an interest shall not be deemed to be a violation of this Agreement.

            (e)   It is expressly agreed by Employee that the nature and scope of each of the provisions set forth above in this Paragraph 11 are reasonable and necessary. If, for any reason, any aspect of the above provisions as it applies to Employee is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unreasonable or unenforceable, the provisions shall only be modified to the minimum extent required to make the provisions reasonable and/or enforceable, as the case may be. Employee acknowledges and agrees that his services are of unique character and expressly grants to the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company or any successor of any of them, the right to enforce the above provisions through the use of all remedies available at law or in equity, including, but not limited to, injunctive relief.

            (f)    This Paragraph 11 and Paragraphs 12 and 13 hereof (and Paragraphs 14 through 19 hereof as they may apply to such Paragraphs) shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason.

        12.    COMPANY PROPERTY.    

            (a)   Any patents, inventions, discoveries, applications or processes designed, devised, planned, applied, created, discovered or invented by Employee in the course of Employee's employment under this Agreement and which pertain to any aspect of the Company's or its subsidiaries' or affiliates' business as described above shall be the sole and absolute property of the Company, and Employee shall promptly report the same to the Company and promptly execute any and all documents that may from time to time reasonably be requested by the Company to assure the Company the full and complete ownership thereof.

            (b)   All records, files, lists, including computer generated lists, drawings, documents, equipment and similar items relating to the Company's business which Employee shall prepare or receive from the Company shall remain the Company's sole and exclusive property. Upon termination of this Agreement, Employee shall promptly return to the Company all property of the Company in his possession. Employee further represents that he will not copy or cause to be copied, print out or cause to be printed out any software, documents or other materials originating with or belonging to the Company. Employee additionally represents that, upon termination of his employment with the Company, he will not retain in his possession any such software, documents or other materials.

5



        13.    EQUITABLE RELIEF.    It is mutually understood and agreed that Employee's services are special, unique, unusual, extraordinary and of an intellectual character giving them a peculiar value, the loss of which cannot be reasonably or adequately compensated in damages in an action at law. Accordingly, in the event of any breach of this Agreement by Employee, including, but not limited to, the breach of any of the provisions of Paragraphs 11 or 12 hereof, the Company shall be entitled to equitable relief by way of injunction or otherwise in addition to any damages which the Company may be entitled to recover.

The failure or delay of the Company at any time or times to require performance of, or to exercise any of its powers, rights or remedies with respect to, any term or provision of this Agreement or any other aspect of the Employee's conduct or employment in no manner (except as otherwise expressly provided herein) shall affect the Company's right at a later time to enforce any such term or provision.

This LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") dated as of the Effective Date between SILICON VALLEY BANK, a California chartered bank ("Bank"), with its principal place of business at 3003 Tasman Drive, Santa Clara, California 95054, and with a loan production office located at 9020 Capital of Texas Highway, North, Building 1, Suite 350, Austin, Texas, 78759 and PERFICIENT, INC. and PERFICIENT CANADA, INC., jointly and severally (collectively, the "Borrower"), each with its principal place of business at the location set forth on the Cover Page of this Agreement, provides the terms on which Bank will lend to Borrower and Borrower will repay Bank. The parties agree as follows:

1      ACCOUNTING AND OTHER TERMS.

        Accounting terms not defined in this Agreement will be construed following GAAP. Calculations and determinations must be made following GAAP. The term "financial statements" includes the notes and schedules. The terms "including" and "includes" always mean "including (or includes) without limitation" in this or any Loan Document.

2      LOAN AND TERMS OF PAYMENT.

        2.1    Promise to Pay.    Borrower promises to pay Bank the unpaid principal amount of all Credit Extensions and interest on the unpaid principal amount of the Credit Extensions.

            2.1.1    Revolving Advances.    

            (a)   Bank will make Advances not exceeding (i) the lesser of (A) the Committed Revolving Line or (B) the Borrowing Base, minus (ii) the amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit (including drawn but unreimbursed Letters of Credit) Amounts borrowed under this Section may be repaid and reborrowed during the term of this Agreement.

            (b)   To obtain an Advance, Borrower must notify Bank by facsimile or telephone by 3:00 p.m. Pacific time on the Business Day the Advance is to be made. Borrower must promptly confirm the notification by delivering to Bank the Payment/Advance Form attached as Exhibit B (a "Payment/Advance Form"). Bank will credit Advances to Borrower's deposit account. Bank may make Advances under this Agreement based on instructions from a Responsible Officer or his or her designee or without instructions if the Advances are necessary to meet Obligations which have become due. Bank may rely on any telephone notice given by a person whom Bank believes is a Responsible Officer or designee. Borrower will indemnify Bank for any loss Bank suffers due to such reliance.

            (c)   The Committed Revolving Line terminates on the Revolving Maturity Date, when all Advances are immediately payable.

            (d)   Bank's obligation to lend the undisbursed portion of the Obligations will terminate if, in Bank's sole discretion, there has been a material adverse change in the general affairs, management, results of operation, condition (financial or otherwise) or the prospect of repayment of the Obligations, or there has been any material adverse deviation by Borrower from the most recent business plan of Borrower presented to and accepted by Bank prior to the execution of this Agreement.

            2.1.2    Letters of Credit.    

            (a)   Bank has issued, as set forth on Schedule 2.1.2, and may in the future issue letters of credit (each a "Letter of Credit" and collectively, the "Letters of Credit") for Borrower's account not exceeding (i) the lesser of the Committed Revolving Line or the Borrowing Base minus (ii) the outstanding principal balance of the Advances; however the aggregate face amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit (including drawn but unreimbursed Letters of Credit) may not

1



    exceed $750,000. Each Letter of Credit will have an expiry date of no later than 180 days after the Revolving Maturity Date but Borrower's reimbursement obligation will be secured by cash on terms acceptable to Bank at any time after the Revolving Maturity Date if the term of this Agreement is not extended by Bank. Borrower agrees to execute any further documentation in connection with the Letters of Credit as Bank may reasonably request.

            (b)   Pursuant to the terms of that certain Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement dated June 30, 2000, as amended from time to time, Bank has issued the Letters of Credit identified on Schedule 2.1.2, attached hereto, for the be.nefit of Borrower (the "Outstanding Letters of Credit"). The outstanding Letters of Credit shall be governed by this Agreement.

        2.2    Overadvances.    If Borrower's Obligations under Section 2.1.1and 2.1.2 exceed the lesser of either (a) the Committed Revolving Line or (b) the Borrowing Base, Borrower must immediately pay in cash to Bank the excess.

        2.3    Interest Rate; Payments.    

            2.3.1    In General.    

            (a)    Spreading of Interest.    Due to irregular periodic balances of principal, the variable nature of the interest rate, or prepayment, the total interest that will accrue under this Agreement cannot be determined in advance. Bank does not intend to contract for, charge or receive more than the Maximum Lawful Rate or Maximum Lawful Amount permitted by applicable state or federal law, and to prevent such an occurrence Bank and Borrower agree that all amounts of interest, whenever contracted for, charged or received by Bank, with respect to the Obligations, will be spread, prorated or allocated over the full period of time the Obligations are outstanding, including the period of any renewal or extension thereof. If the maturity of the Obligations is accelerated for any reason whether as a result of an Event of Default or otherwise prior to the full stated term, the total amount of interest contracted for, charged or received to the time of such demand shall be spread, prorated or allocated along with any interest thereafter accruing over the full period of time that the Obligations thereafter remain unpaid for the purpose of determining if such interest exceeds the Maximum Lawful Amount.

            (b)    Excess Interest.    At maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) or on earlier final payment of the Obligations, Bank will compute the total amount of interest that has been contracted for, charged or received by Bank or payable by Borrower hereunder and compare such amount to the Maximum Lawful Amount that could have been contracted for, charged or received by Bank. If such computation reflects that the total amount of interest that has been contracted for, charged or received by Bank or payable by Borrower exceeds the Maximum Lawful Amount, then Bank shall apply such excess to the reduction of the principal balance, and any remaining excess shall be refunded to Borrower. This provision concerning the crediting or refund of excess interest shall control and take precedence over all other agreements between Borrower and Bank so that under no circumstances shall the total interest contracted for, charged or received by Bank exceed the Maximum Lawful Amount.

            (c)    Computation of Interest; Default Rate.    Interest is computed on a 360 day year for the actual number of days elapsed. Bank will not compute the interest in a manner that would cause Bank to contract for, charge or receive interest that would exceed the Maximum Lawful Rate or the Maximum Lawful Amount. After an Event of Default, Obligations accrue interest at the Default Interest Rate. The Default Interest Rate is the least of (i) the Maximum Lawful Rate, if the Maximum Lawful rate is established by applicable law, or (ii) the interest rate applicable immediately prior to the occurrence of the Event of Default plus 5 percentage points, if no Maximum Lawful Rate law has been established by applicable law; or (iii) 18% per annum; or

2



    (iv) such lesser rate of interest as Bank in its sole discretion may choose to charge; but in no event more than the Maximum Lawful Rate.

            (d)    Request to Debit Accounts.    Bank may debit any of Borrower's deposit accounts including Account Number 3300402717 for principal and interest payments or any amounts Borrower owes Bank. Bank will notify Borrower when it debits Borrower's accounts. These debits are not a set-off. Payments received after 12:00 noon Pacific time are considered received at the opening of business on the next Business Day.

            2.3.2    Committed Revolving Line.    

            (a)    Interest Rate.    Advances under the Committed Revolving Line accrue interest on the outstanding principal balance thereof at a per annum rate 1.0 percentage points (1.0%) above the Prime Rate. The interest rate on the Committed Revolving Line increases or decreases when the Prime Rate changes.

            (b)    Payments.    Interest on the Committed Revolving Line is payable on the first day of each month. When a payment is due on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment is due the next Business Day and additional fees or interest accrue.

        2.4    Fees.    Borrower will pay to Bank:

            (a)    Facility Fee.    A fully earned, non-refundable facility fee in the amount of $9,000, due on the date that Borrower executes and delivers this Agreement to Bank;

            (b)    Bank Expenses.    All Bank Expenses (including reasonable attorney's fees and expenses) incurred through and after the Effective Date when due; and

            (c)    Usage Fee.    A usage fee, payable in arrears within 15 days of the end of each calendar quarter, in an amount equal to the product of .12% times the per annum average Unused Balance. The term "Unused Balance" shall mean the result of (i) the Committed Revolving Line minus (ii) the aggregate amount of all Advances, and minus (iii) the face amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit (including drawn but unreimbursed Letters of Credit).

        2.5    Additional Costs.    If any law or regulation increases Bank's costs or reduces its income for any loan, Borrower will pay the increase in cost or reduction in income or additional expense.

3      CONDITIONS OF LOANS.

        3.1    Conditions Precedent to Initial Credit Extension.    Bank's obligation to make the initial Credit Extension is subject to the condition precedent that it receive the agreements, documents and fees it requires, including a Consent of Landlord from the landlord of each Borrower in the form attached as Exhibit E or such other form as may be approved by Bank.

        3.2    Conditions Precedent to all Credit Extensions.    Bank's obligations to make each Credit Extension, including the initial Credit Extension, is subject to the following:

            (a)   timely receipt of any Payment/Advance Form, as applicable; and

            (b)   the representations and warranties in Section 5 must be materially true on the date of the Payment/Advance Form, as applicable and on the effective date of each Credit Extension and no Event of Default may have occurred and be continuing, or result from the Credit Extension. Each Credit Extension is Borrower's representation and warranty on that date that the representations and warranties in Section 5 remain true.

3



4      CREATION OF SECURITY INTEREST.

        4.1    Grant of Security Interest.    Borrower grants Bank a continuing security interest in all presently existing and later acquired Collateral to secure all Obligations and performance of each of Borrower's duties under the Loan Documents. Except for Permitted Liens, any security interest will be a first priority security interest in the Collateral. Bank may place a "hold" on any deposit account pledged as Collateral. If this Agreement is terminated, Bank's lien and security interest in the Collateral will continue until Borrower fully satisfies its Obligations.

        4.2    Authorization to File.    Borrower authorizes Bank to file financing statements without notice to Borrower, with all appropriate jurisdictions, as Bank deems appropriate, in order to perfect or protect Bank's interest in the Collateral.

5    REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.    Borrower represents and warrants as follows:

        5.1    Due Organization and Authorization.    Borrower and each Subsidiary is duly existing and in good standing in its state of formation and qualified and licensed to do business in, and in good standing in, any state in which the conduct of its business or its ownership of property requires that it be qualified.

        The execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents have been duly authorized, and do not conflict with Borrower's formation documents, nor constitute an event of default under any material agreement by which Borrower is bound. Borrower is not in default under any agreement to which or by which it is bound in which the default could cause a Material Adverse Change.

        5.2    Collateral.    Borrower has good title to the Collateral, free of Liens except Permitted Liens or Borrower has Rights to each asset that is Collateral. Borrower has no other deposit account, other than the deposit accounts described in the Schedule. The Accounts are bona fide, existing obligations, and the service or property has been performed or delivered to the account debtor or its agent for immediate shipment to and unconditional acceptance by the account debtor. The Collateral is not in the possession of any third party bailee (such as at a warehouse). In the event that Borrower, after the date hereof, intends to store or otherwise deliver the Collateral to such a bailee, then Borrower will receive the prior written consent of Bank and such bailee must acknowledge in writing that the bailee is holding such Collateral for the benefit of Bank. Borrower has no notice of any actual or imminent Insolvency Proceeding of any account debtor whose accounts are an Eligible Account in any Borrowing Base Certificate. All Inventory is in all material respects of good and marketable quality, free from material defects. Borrower is the sole owner of the Intellectual Property, except for non-exclusive licenses granted to its customers in the ordinary course of business. Each Patent is valid and enforceable and no part of the Intellectual Property has been judged invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, and no claim has been made that any part of the Intellectual Property violates the rights of any third party except to the extent such claim could not reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change.

        5.3    Litigation.    Except as shown in the Schedule, there are no actions or proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of Borrower's Responsible Officers, threatened by or against Borrower or any Subsidiary in which a likely adverse decision could reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change.

        5.4    No Material Adverse Change in Financial Statements.    All consolidated financial statements for Borrower, and any Subsidiary, delivered to Bank fairly present in all material respects Borrower's consolidated financial condition and Borrower's consolidated results of operations. There has not been any material deterioration in Borrower's consolidated financial condition since the date of the most recent financial statements submitted to Bank.

4



        5.5    Solvency.    The fair salable value of Borrower's assets (including goodwill minus disposition costs) exceeds the fair value of its liabilities; the Borrower is not left with unreasonably small capital after the transactions in this Agreement; and Borrower is able to pay its debts (including trade debts) as they mature.

        5.6    Regulatory Compliance.    Borrower is not an "investment company" or a company "controlled" by an "investment company" under the Investment Company Act. Borrower is not engaged as one of its important activities in extending credit for margin stock (under Regulation U of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors). Borrower has complied with the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act. Borrower has not violated any laws, ordinances or rules, the violation of which could cause a Material Adverse Change. None of Borrower's or any Subsidiary's properties or assets has been used by Borrower or any Subsidiary or, to the best of Borrower's knowledge, by previous Persons, in disposing, producing, storing, treating, or transporting any hazardous substance other than legally. Borrower and each Subsidiary has timely filed all required tax returns and paid, or made adequate provision to pay, all material taxes. Borrower and each Subsidiary has obtained all consents, approvals and authorizations of, made all declarations or filings with, and given all notices to, all government authorities that are necessary to continue its business as currently conducted.

        5.7    Subsidiaries.    Borrower does not own any stock, partnership interest or other equity securities except for Permitted Investments.

        5.8    Full Disclosure.    No written representation, warranty or other statement of Borrower in any certificate or written statement given to Bank contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained in the certificates or statements not misleading.

6    AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS.    Borrower will do all of the following for so long as Bank has an obligation to lend, or there are outstanding obligations:

        6.1    Government Compliance.    Borrower will maintain its and all Subsidiaries' legal existence and good standing in its jurisdiction of formation and maintain qualification in each jurisdiction in which the failure to so qualify could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on Borrower's business or operations. Borrower will comply, and have each Subsidiary comply, with all laws, ordinances and regulations to which it is subject, noncompliance with which could have a material adverse effect on Borrower's business or operations or could reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change.

        6.2    Financial Statements, Reports, Certificates.    

            (a)   Borrower will deliver to Bank: (i) as soon as available, but no later than 30 days after the last day of each month, a company prepared consolidated balance sheet and income statement covering Borrower's consolidated operations during the period, in a form acceptable to Bank and certified by a Responsible Officer; (ii) as soon as available, but no later than 120 days after the end of Borrower's fiscal year, audited consolidated financial statements prepared under GAAP, consistently applied, together with an unqualified opinion on the financial statements from an independent certified public accounting firm acceptable to Bank; (iii) within 5 days of filing, copies of all statements, reports and notices made available to Borrower's security holders or to any holders of Subordinated Debt and all reports on Form 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission; (iv) a prompt report of any legal actions pending or threatened against Borrower or any Subsidiary that could result in damages or costs to Borrower or any Subsidiary of $100,000 or more; (v) prompt notice of any material change in the composition of the Intellectual Property, including any subsequent ownership right of Borrower in or to any Copyright, Patent or Trademark not shown in any intellectual property security agreement between Borrower and Bank

5

7

8    EVENTS OF DEFAULT.    Any one of the following is an Event of Default:

        8.1    Payment Default.    If Borrower fails to pay any of the Obligations within 3 days after their due date. During the additional period the failure to cure the default is not an Event of Default (but no Credit Extensions will be made during the cure period);

        8.2    Covenant Default.    If Borrower (a) does not perform any obligation in Article 6 or violates any covenant in Article 7 (for which failures or violations there are no grace or cure periods) or (b) does not perform or observe any other material term, condition or covenant in this Agreement, any Loan Documents, or in any agreement between Borrower and Bank and as to any default under a term, condition or covenant that can be cured, has not cured the default within 10 days after it occurs, or if the default cannot be cured within 10 days or cannot be cured after Borrower's attempts in the 10 day period, and the default may be cured within a reasonable time, then Borrower has an additional period, (of not more than 30 days) to attempt to cure the default. During the additional period the failure to cure the default is not an Event of Default (but no Credit Extensions will be made during the cure period);

        8.3    Material Adverse Change.

9      BANK'S RIGHTS AND REMEDIES.

        9.1    Rights and Remedies.    When an Event of Default occurs and continues Bank may, without notice or demand, do any or all of the following:

            (a)   Declare all Obligations immediately due and payable (but if an Event of Default described in Section 8.5 occurs all Obligations are immediately due and payable without any action by Bank);

            (b)   Stop advancing money or extending credit for Borrower's benefit under this Agreement or under any other agreement between Borrower and Bank;

            (c)   Settle or adjust disputes and claims directly with account debtors for amounts, on terms and in any order that Bank considers advisable;

            (d)   Make any payments and do any acts it considers necessary or reasonable to protect its security interest in the Collateral. Borrower will assemble the Collateral if Bank requests and make it available as Bank designates. Bank may enter premises where the Collateral is located, take and maintain possession of any part of the Collateral, and pay, purchase, contest, or compromise any Lien which appears to be prior or superior to its security interest and pay all expenses incurred. Borrower grants Bank a license to enter and occupy any of its premises, without charge, to exercise any of Bank's rights or remedies;

            (e)   Apply to the Obligations any (i) balances and deposits of Borrower it holds, or (ii) any amount held by Bank owing to or for the credit or the account of Borrower;

            (f)    Ship, reclaim, recover, store, finish, maintain, repair, prepare for sale, advertise for sale, and sell the Collateral. Bank is granted a non-exclusive, royalty-free license or other right to use, without charge, Borrower's labels, Patents, Copyrights, Mask Works, rights of use of any name, trade secrets, trade names, Trademarks, service marks, and advertising matter, or any similar property as it pertains to the Collateral, in completing production of, advertising for sale, and selling any Collateral and, in connection with Bank's exercise of its rights under this Section, Borrower's rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements inure to Bank's benefit; and

            (g)   Dispose of the Collateral according to the Code.

            (h)   Transfer this Agreement and all of Borrower's Obligations hereunder to Bank's Specialty Finance Division, at which time Borrower agrees, if Bank shall so require, to amend and restate the terms of this Agreement on documents provided by Bank's Specialty Finance Division.

        9.2    Power of Attorney.    Effective only when an Event of Default occurs and continues, Borrower irrevocably appoints Bank as its lawful attorney to: (a) endorse Borrower's name on any checks or other forms of payment or security; (b) sign Borrower's name on any invoice or bill of lading for any Account or drafts against account debtors, (c) make, settle, and adjust all claims under Borrower's insurance policies; (d) settle and adjust disputes and claims about the Accounts directly with account debtors, for amounts and on terms Bank determines reasonable; and (e) transfer the Collateral into the name of Bank or a third party as the Code permits. Bank may exercise the power of attorney to sign

9


Borrower's name on any documents necessary to perfect or continue the perfection of any security interest regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred. Bank's appointment as Borrower's attorney in fact, and all of Bank's rights and powers, coupled with an interest, are irrevocable until all Obligations have been fully repaid and performed and Bank's obligation to provide Credit Extensions terminates.

        9.3    Accounts Collection.    When an Event of Default occurs and continues, Bank may notify any Person owing Borrower money of Bank's security interest in the funds and verify the amount of the Account. Borrower must collect all payments in trust for Bank and, if requested by Bank, immediately deliver the payments to Bank in the form received from the account debtor, with proper endorsements for deposit.

        9.4    Bank Expenses.    If Borrower fails to pay any amount or furnish any required proof of payment to third persons Bank may make all or part of the payment or obtain insurance policies required in Section 6.5, and take any action under the policies Bank deems prudent. Any amounts paid by Bank are Bank Expenses and immediately due and payable, bearing interest at the then applicable rate and secured by the Collateral. No payments by Bank are deemed an agreement to make similar payments in the future or Bank's waiver of any Event of Default.

        9.5    Bank's Liability for Collateral.    If Bank complies with reasonable banking practices, it is not liable or responsible for: (a) the safekeeping of the Collateral; (b) any loss or damage to the Collateral; (c) any diminution in the value of the Collateral; or (d) any act or default of any carrier, warehouseman, bailee, or other person. Borrower bears all risk of loss, damage or destruction of the Collateral.

        9.6    Remedies Cumulative.    Bank's rights and remedies under this Agreement, the Loan Documents, and all other agreements are cumulative. Bank has all rights and remedies provided under the Code, by law, or in equity. Bank's exercise of one right or remedy is not an election, and Bank's waiver of any Event of Default is not a continuing waiver. Bank's delay is not a waiver, election, or acquiescence. No waiver is effective unless signed by Bank and then is only effective for the specific instance and purpose for which it was given.

        9.7    Demand Waiver.    Borrower waives demand, notice of default or dishonor, notice of acceleration, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of payment and nonpayment, notice of any default, nonpayment at maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension, or renewal of accounts, documents, instruments, chattel paper, and guaranties held by Bank on which Borrower is liable.

10    NOTICES AND WAIVERS.

        10.1    Notices.    Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, all notices or demands by any party relating to this Agreement or any other agreement entered into in connection herewith shall be in writing and (except for financial statements and other informational documents which may be sent by first-class mail, postage prepaid) shall be personally delivered or sent by a recognized overnight delivery service, certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, or by telefacsimile to Borrower or to Bank, as the case may be, at its addresses set above.

        10.2    Subrogation and Similar Rights.    Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any other document related to this Agreement, until payment to Bank in full and performance of all Obligations, each Borrower irrevocably waives all rights that it may have at law or in equity (including, without limitation, any law subrogating the Borrower to the rights of Bank under this Agreement) to seek contribution, indemnification, or any other form of reimbursement from any other Borrower, or any other entity now or hereafter primarily or secondarily liable for any of the Obligations, for any payment made by the Borrower with respect to the Obligations in connection with this Agreement or otherwise and all rights that it might have to benefit from, or to participate in, any security for the

10



Obligations as a result of any payment made by the Borrower with respect to the Obligations in connection with this Agreement or otherwise. Any agreement providing for indemnification, reimbursement or any other arrangement prohibited under this Section 10.2 shall be null and void. If any payment is made to a Borrower in contravention of this Section 10.2, such Borrower shall hold such payment in trust for Bank and such payment shall be promptly delivered to Bank for application to the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured.

        10.3    Waivers of Notice.    Each Borrower waives notice of acceptance hereof; notice of the existence, creation or acquisition of any of the Obligations; notice of an Event of Default; notice of the amount of the Obligations outstanding at any time; notice of intent to accelerate; notice of acceleration; notice of any adverse change in the financial condition of any other Borrower or of any other fact that might increase the Borrower's risk; presentment for payment; demand; protest and notice thereof as to any instrument; default; and all other notices and demands to which the Borrower would otherwise be entitled. Each Borrower waives any defense arising from any defense of any other Borrower, or by reason of the cessation from any cause whatsoever of the liability of any other Borrower. Bank's failure at any time to require strict performance by any Borrower of any provision of this Agreement shall not waive, alter or diminish any right of Bank thereafter to demand strict compliance and performance therewith. Nothing contained herein shall prevent Bank from foreclosing on the lien of any deed of trust, mortgage or other security instrument, or exercising any rights available thereunder, and the exercise of any such rights shall not constitute a legal or equitable discharge of any Borrower. Each Borrower also waives any defense arising from any act or omission of Bank that changes the scope of the Borrower's risks hereunder. Each Borrower hereby waives any right to assert against Bank any defense (legal or equitable), setoff, counterclaim, or claims that such Borrower individually may now or hereafter have against another Borrower or any other entity liable to Borrower with respect to the Obligations in any manner or whatsoever until the Obligations are paid in full to Bank.

        10.4    Subrogation Defenses.    Each Borrower waives the benefits, if any, of any statutory or common law rule that may permit a borrower to assert any defenses of a surety or guarantor, or that may give a borrower the right to require a senior creditor to marshal assets, and Borrower agrees that it shall not assert any such defenses or rights.

        10.5    Right to Settle, Release.    

            (a)   The liability of Borrower hereunder shall not be diminished by (i) any agreement, understanding or representation that any of the Obligations is or was to be guaranteed by another entity or secured by other property, or (ii) any release or unenforceability, whether partial or total, or rights, if any, which Borrower may now or hereafter have against any other entity, including another Borrower, or property with respect to any of the Obligations.

            (b)   Without notice to any Borrower and without affecting the liability of any Borrower hereunder, Bank may (i) compromise, settle, renew, extend the time for payment, change the manner or terms of payment, discharge the performance of, decline to enforce, or release all or any of the Obligations with respect to a Borrower, (ii) grant other indulgences to a Borrower in respect of the Obligations, (iii) modify in any manner any documents, relating to the Obligations with respect to a Borrower, (iv) release, surrender or exchange any deposits or other property securing the Obligations, whether pledged by a Borrower or any other entity, or (v) compromise, settle renew, or extend the time for payment, discharge the performance of, decline to enforce, or release all or any obligations of any guarantor, endorser or other entity who is now or may hereafter be liable with respect to any of the Obligations.
