On July 29, 2010, Support.com, Inc. issued the press release attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 announcing its results of operations for the second quarter of 2010.

The information contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K and Exhibit 99.1 hereto shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference to any filing under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

The press release contains statements that the Company believes to be “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

In addition, forward-looking statements generally can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “intend,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “should,” “project” or “plan,” or the negative thereof or variations thereon or similar terminology. The Company cannot provide any assurance that such expectations will prove to have been correct. Additional information concerning factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements is contained from time to time in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Offices

Section 1. Registered Office. The Board of Directors shall fix from time to time the location of the registered office and registered agent of the Corporation within the State of Delaware.

Section 2. Other Offices. The Corporation may also have other offices, either within or without the State of Delaware, at such place or places as the Board of Directors may from time to time appoint or the business of the Corporation may require.

ARTICLE II

Meetings of Stockholders

Section 1. Annual Meetings. Annual meetings of stockholders shall be held at such date and time as shall be designated from time to time by the Board of Directors and stated in the notice of meeting. At the annual meeting the stockholders shall elect by a plurality vote the number of Directors equal to the number of Directors whose term expires at such meeting (or, if fewer, the number of Directors properly nominated and qualified for election) to hold office until the next annual meeting of stockholders after their election.

At an annual meeting of the stockholders, only such business shall be conducted as shall have been properly brought before the meeting. To be properly brought before an annual meeting, business must be specified in the notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto) given by or at the direction of the Board of Directors, otherwise properly brought before the meeting by or at the direction of the Board of Directors, or otherwise properly brought before the meeting by a stockholder. In addition to any other applicable requirements, for business to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder, the stockholder must have given timely notice thereof in writing to the Secretary of the Corporation. To be timely, a stockholder’s notice must be delivered to or mailed and received at the principal executive offices of the Corporation, not less than fifty (50) days nor more than seventy-five (75) days prior to the meeting; provided, however, that in the event that less than sixty-five (65) days’ notice or prior public disclosure of the date of the meeting is given or made to stockholders, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so received not later than the close of business on the 15th day following the day on which such notice of the date of the annual meeting was mailed or such public disclosure was made. A stockholder’s notice to the Secretary shall set forth as to each matter the stockholder proposes to bring before the annual meeting (a) a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the annual meeting and the reasons for conducting such business at the annual meeting, (b) the name and record address of the stockholder proposing such business, (c) the class and number of shares of the Corporation which are beneficially owned by the stockholder, (d) any material interest of the stockholder in such business.

Notwithstanding anything in the Bylaws to the contrary, no business shall be conducted at the annual meeting except in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 1 by any stockholder of any business properly brought before the annual meeting in accordance with said procedure.

The Chairman of an annual meeting shall, if the facts warrant, determine and declare to the meeting that business was not properly brought before the meeting in accordance with the provisions of this Section, and if he or she should so determine, he or she shall so declare to the meeting and any such business not properly brought before the meeting shall not be transacted.

Section 2. Special Meetings. Special meetings of the stockholders for any proper purpose or purposes may be called only by the Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation or by a resolution adopted by the affirmative vote of a majority of the Board of Directors.

Section 3. Notice of Meeting. Notice, signed by the Chief Executive Officer, the President, any Vice President, the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary, of every annual or special meeting of stockholders stating the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called, and the date and time when, and the place where it is to be held, shall be prepared in writing and personally delivered or mailed, postage prepaid by first class mail, to each stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before the meeting, except as otherwise provided by statute. If mailed, such notice shall be directed to a stockholder at his or her address as it shall appear on the stock record book of the Corporation, unless the stockholder shall have filed with the Secretary a written request that notices intended for him or her be mailed to some other address, in which case it shall be mailed to the address designated in such request. Notice shall be deemed given when personally delivered or deposited to the United States mail, as the case may be; provided, however, that such notice may also be given by telegram, cablegram, radiogram or other means of electronically transmitted written copy and in such case shall be deemed given when ordered or, if a delayed delivery is ordered, as of such delayed delivery time, or when transmitted, as the case may be.

Section 4. List of Stockholders. A complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at each meeting of stockholders, arranged in alphabetical order and showing the address of each such stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each such stockholder, shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to such meeting, during ordinary business hours, for a period of at least ten (10) days prior to the meeting, either at a place within the city where the meeting is to be held, which place shall be specified in the notice of such meeting, or, if not so specified, at the place where the meeting is to be held. The list shall also be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting and during the whole time thereof, and may be inspected by any stockholder who is present.

Section 5. Quorum. The presence at any meeting, in person or by proxy, of the holders of record of a majority of the shares then issued and outstanding and entitled to vote shall be necessary and sufficient to constitute a quorum for the transaction of business, except where otherwise provided by statute.

Section 6. Adjournments. In the absence of a quorum, stockholders representing a majority of the shares then issued and outstanding and entitled to vote, present in person or by proxy, or, if no stockholder entitled to vote is present in person or by proxy, any officer entitled to preside at or act as secretary of such meeting, may adjourn the meeting from time to time without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum shall be present or represented. At such adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be present or represented, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting originally noticed. If the adjournment is for more than thirty (30) days, or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting.

Section 7. Voting. When a quorum is present at any meeting, the holders of a majority of the shares of the Corporation, present in person or by proxy, shall decide any question brought before the meeting, unless the question is one upon which by express provision of the statutes or of the certificate of incorporation a different vote is required in which case such express provision shall govern and control the decision of such question.

Section 8. Proxies. Any stockholders entitled to vote may vote by proxy, provided that the instrument authorizing such proxy to act shall have been executed in writing (which shall include telegraphing, cabling or other means of electronically transmitted written copy) by the stockholder himself or herself or by his or her duly authorized attorney-in-fact. No proxy shall be voted or acted upon after three (3) years from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period.

Section 9. Judges of Election. The Board of Directors may appoint judges of election to serve at any election of directors and at balloting on any other matter that may properly come before a meeting of stockholders. If no such appointment shall be made, or if any of the judges so appointed shall fail to attend, or refuse or be unable to serve, then such appointment may be made by the presiding officer of the meeting at the meeting.

Section 10. Written Consent. No action required or permitted to be taken at any annual or special meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation may be taken without a meeting and the power of the stockholders to consent in writing, without a meeting, to the taking of any action is specifically denied.

Section 11. Waiver of Notice. Notice of any meeting need not be given to any stockholder who shall attend such meeting in person or shall waive notice thereof, before or after such meeting, in writing or by telegram, radiogram, cablegram or other means of electronically transmitted written copy.

ARTICLE III

Board of Directors

Section 1. Number. The number of directors which shall constitute the whole Board of Directors shall be fixed at six (6). Thereafter, the number of directors which shall constitute the whole Board of Directors shall be fixed from time to time by resolution of the Board of Directors or stockholders at the annual meeting or any special meeting called for that purpose.

Section 2. Election and Term of Office. Directors shall be elected at the annual meeting of the stockholders except as provided in Section 4 of this Article. Each Director (whether elected at an annual meeting or to fill a vacancy or otherwise) shall continue in office until a successor shall have been elected and qualified or until his or her death, resignation or removal in the manner hereinafter provided, whichever shall first occur.

Section 3. Nominations. Subject to the rights of holders of any class or series of stock having a preference over the common stock as to dividends or upon liquidation, nominations for election to the Board of Directors of the Corporation at a meeting of stockholders may be made on behalf of the Board by the Nominating Committee appointed by the Board, or by any stockholder of the Corporation entitled to vote for the election of directors at such meeting. Such nominations, other than those made by the Nominating Committee on behalf of the Board, shall be made by notice in writing delivered or mailed by first class United States mail, postage prepaid, to the Secretary or Assistant Secretary of the Corporation, and received by him or her not less than one hundred twenty (120) days prior to any meeting of stockholders called for the election of directors; provided, however, that if less than one hundred (100) days notice of the meeting is given to stockholders, such nomination shall have been mailed or delivered to the Secretary or the Assistant Secretary of the Corporation not later than the close of business on the seventh (7th) day following the day on which the notice of meeting was mailed. Such notice shall set forth as to each proposed nominee who is not an incumbent director (a) the name, age, business address and, if known, residence address of each nominee proposed in such notice, (b) the principal occupation or employment of each such nominee, (c) the number of shares of stock of the Corporation which are beneficially owned by each such nominee and by the nominating stockholder, and (d) any other information concerning the nominee that must be disclosed of nominees in proxy solicitations regulated by Regulation 14A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

The Chairman of the meeting may, if the facts warrant, determine and declare to the meeting that a nomination was not made in accordance with the foregoing procedure, and if he or she should so determine, he or she shall so declare to the meeting and the defective nomination shall be disregarded.

Section 4. Vacancies and Additional Directorships. If any vacancy shall occur among the directors by reason of death, resignation, or removal, or as the result of an increase in the number of directorships, the directors then in office shall continue to act and may fill any such vacancy by a vote of the majority of directors then in office, though less than a quorum, and each director so chosen shall hold office until the next annual election at which the term to which he or she has been elected expires and until his or her successor shall be duly elected and shall qualify, or until his or her earlier death, resignation or removal.

Section 5. Powers. The business of the Corporation shall be managed by its Board of Directors, which may exercise all powers of the Corporation and do all lawful acts and things as are not by law or by the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws reserved to the stockholders.

Section 7. Compensation of Directors. Directors shall receive such reasonable compensation for their services as such, whether in the form of salary or a fixed fee for attendance at meetings, with expenses, if any, as the Board of Directors may from time to time determine. Nothing herein contained shall be construed to preclude any director from serving the Corporation in any other capacity and receiving compensation therefor.

In case any officer, transfer agent or registrar who shall have signed or whose facsimile signature has been placed upon such certificate shall have ceased to be such officer, transfer agent or registrar before such certificates are issued, they may nevertheless be issued by the Corporation with the same effect as if such officer, transfer agent, or registrar were still such at the date of their issue.

Within a reasonable time after the issuance or transfer of uncertificated stock, the Corporation shall send to the registered owner thereof a written notice containing the information required by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware or a statement that the Corporation will furnish without charge to each stockholder who so requests the powers, designations, preferences and relative participating, optional or other special rights of each class of stock or series thereof and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions of such preferences and/or rights.

Section 3. Transfers of Stock. Upon surrender to the Corporation or the transfer agent of the Corporation of a certificate of shares duly endorsed or accompanied by proper evidence of succession, assignation or authority to transfer, and proper evidence of compliance of other conditions to rightful transfer, it shall be the duty of the Corporation to issue a new certificate to the person entitled thereto, cancel the old certificate and record the transaction upon its books.

Upon receipt of proper transfer instructions and proper evidence of compliance of other conditions to rightful transfer from the registered owner of uncertificated shares, such uncertificated shares shall be canceled and issuance of new equivalent uncertificated shares or certificated shares shall be made to the person entitled thereto and the transaction shall be recorded upon the books of the Corporation.

Except as otherwise provided by law, the Corporation shall be entitled to recognize the exclusive right of a person in whose name any share or shares stand on the record of stockholders as the owner of such share or shares for all purposes, including, without limitation, the rights to receive dividends or other distributions, and to vote as such owner, and the Corporation shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or legal claim to or interest in any such share or shares on the part of any other person whether or not the Corporation shall have express or other notice thereof.

Section 4. Regulations. The Board of Directors may make such additional rules and regulations, not inconsistent with these Bylaws, as it may deem expedient concerning the issue, transfer and registration of certificates for shares of the capital stock of the Corporation. It may appoint, or authorize any officer or officers to appoint, one or more transfer agents or one or more registrars and may further provide that no stock certificate shall be valid until countersigned by one of such transfer agents and registered by one of such registrars. Nothing herein shall be construed to prohibit the Corporation from acting as its own transfer agent or registrar.

Section 5. Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. The holder of any certificate representing any share or shares of the capital stock of the Corporation shall immediately notify the Corporation of any loss, theft, or destruction of such certificate. The Board of Directors may direct that a new certificate or certificates be issued in the place of any certificate or certificates theretofore issued by it which the owner thereof shall allege to have been lost, stolen or destroyed upon the furnishing to the Corporation of an affidavit to that effect by the person claiming that the certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed. When authorizing such issue of a new certificate of certificates, the Board of Directors may, in its discretion, require such owner or his or her legal representatives to give to the Corporation and its transfer agent(s) and registrar(s) a bond in such sum, limited or unlimited, and in such form and with such surety or sureties as the Board of Directors in it absolute discretion shall determine, sufficient to indemnify the Corporation against any claim that may be made against it on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of any such certificate, or the issuance of a new certificate.

Section 6. Stockholder’s Right of Inspection. Any stockholder of record of the Corporation, in person or by attorney or other agent, shall upon written demand under oath stating the purpose thereof, have the right during the usual hours for business to inspect for any proper purpose the Corporation’s stock ledger, a list of its stockholders, and its other books and records, and to make copies or extracts therefrom. A proper purpose shall mean a purpose reasonably related to such person’s interest as a stockholder. In every instance where an attorney or other agent shall be the person who seeks the right to inspection, the demand under oath shall be accompanied by a power of attorney or such other writing which authorized the attorney or other agent to so act on behalf of the stockholder. The demand under oath shall be directed to the Corporation at its registered office in Delaware or at its principal place of business.

Section 1. Borrowing. No loans or advances shall be obtained or contracted for, by or on behalf of the Corporation and no negotiable paper shall be issued in its name, unless and except as authorized by the Board of Directors. Such authorization may be general or confined to specific instances.

Section 3. Checks, Drafts, Etc. All checks, drafts or other orders for the payment of money, and all negotiable and non-negotiable notes or other negotiable or non-negotiable evidences of indebtedness issued in the name of the Corporation, shall be signed by such officer or officers or agent or agents of the Corporation, and in such manner, as from time to time shall be determined by the Board of Directors.

ARTICLE IX

Record Dates

In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, or to express consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, or entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights, or entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock or for the purpose of any other lawful action, the Board of Directors may fix, in advance, a record date, which shall be not more than sixty (60) nor less than ten (10) days before the date of such meeting, nor more than sixty (60) days prior to any other action. Only those stockholders of record on the date so fixed shall be entitled to any of the foregoing rights, notwithstanding the transfer of any such stock on the books of the Corporation after any such record date fixed by the Board of Directors.

ARTICLE X

Dividends

Subject to any agreement to which the Corporation is a party or by which it is bound, the Board of Directors may declare to be payable, in cash, in other property or in stock of the Corporation of any class or series, such dividends in respect of outstanding stock of the Corporation of any class or series as the Board of Directors may at any time deem to be advisable. Before declaring any such dividend, the Board of Directors may cause to be set aside any funds or other property or assets of the Corporation legally available for the payment of dividends.

ARTICLE XI

Fiscal Year

The fiscal year of the Corporation shall be determined by resolution of the Board of Directors.

ARTICLE XII

Indemnification

Section 1. Right to Indemnification. Each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (hereinafter a “proceeding”), by reason of the fact that such person, or another person of whom such person is the legal representative, is or was a director, officer, or employee of the corporation or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, or employee of, or in some other representative capacity for, another corporation or a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a director, officer, or employee or in any other capacity while serving as a director, officer, or employee, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the corporation to the fullest extent authorized by the Delaware General Corporation Law, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended, against all expense, liability and loss (including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or

 

10


penalties and amounts to be paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such person in connection therewith and such indemnification shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, or employee and shall inure to the benefit of such person’s heirs, executors and administrators; provided, however, that except as provided in Section 2 hereof with respect to proceedings seeking to enforce rights to indemnification, the corporation shall indemnify any such person seeking indemnification in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person only if such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the board of directors of the corporation. The right to indemnification conferred in this Article shall be a contract right and shall include the right to be paid by the corporation the expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition; provided, however, that, if the Delaware General Corporation Law so requires, the payment of such expenses incurred by a director, officer, employee or representative in such person’s capacity as a director, officer, employee or representative (and not in any other capacity in which service was or is rendered by such person while a director, officer, employee or representative, including, without limitation, service to an employee benefit plan) in advance of the final disposition of a proceeding, shall be made only upon delivery to the corporation of an undertaking, by or on behalf of such person, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that such director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified under this Article or otherwise.

Section 2. Right of Claimant to Bring Suit. If a claim under Section 1 of this Article is not paid in full by the corporation within ninety (90) days after a written claim has been received by the corporation, the claimant may at any time thereafter bring suit against the corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim and, if successful in whole or in part, the claimant shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting such claim. It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for expenses incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition where the required undertaking, if any is required, has been tendered to the corporation) that the claimant has not met the standards of conduct which make it permissible under the Delaware General Corporation Law for the corporation to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed, but the burden of proving such defense shall be on the corporation. Neither the failure of the corporation (including its board of directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances because the claimant has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the Delaware General Corporation Law, nor an actual determination by the corporation (including its board of directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) that the claimant has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that the claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct.

Section 3. Non-Exclusivity of Rights. The right to indemnification and the payment of expenses incurred in defending a proceeding in advance of its final disposition conferred in this Article shall not be exclusive of any other right which any person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the Certificate of Incorporation, bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in such person’s official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office, and shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.

Section 4. Insurance. The corporation may maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any director, officer, or employee of the corporation serving in any capacity on behalf of the corporation or at its request for any other entity to the fullest extent authorized by the Delaware General Corporation Law, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under the Delaware General Corporation Law.

Section 5. Severability. If any word, clause or provision of this Article XII or any award made hereunder shall for any reason be determined to be invalid, the provisions hereof shall not otherwise be affected thereby but shall remain in full force and effect.

Section 6. Intent of Article. The intent of this Article XII is to provide for indemnification to the fullest extent permitted by section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. To the extent that such section or any successor section may be amended or supplemented from time to time, this Article XII shall be amended automatically and construed so as to permit indemnification to the fullest extent from time to time permitted

 

11


by law. Neither an amendment nor repeal of this Article XII, nor the adoption of any provision of these Bylaws inconsistent with this Article XII, shall eliminate or reduce the effect of this Article XII in respect of any matter occurring, or action or proceeding accruing or arising or that, but for this Article XII, would accrue or arise, prior to such amendment repeal or adoption of any inconsistent provision.

ARTICLE XIII

Corporate Seal

The Corporate Seal shall be circular in form and shall bear the name of the Corporation and the words and figures denoting its organization under the laws of the State of Delaware and year thereof and otherwise shall be in such form as shall be approved from time to time by the Board of Directors.

ARTICLE XIV

Amendments

The Board of Directors is expressly empowered to adopt, amend or repeal Bylaws of the Corporation, provided, however, that any adoption, amendment or repeal of Bylaws of the corporation by the Board of Directors shall require the approval of at sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66 2/3%) of the total number of authorized directors (whether or not there exist any vacancies in previously authorized directorships at the time any resolution providing for adoption, amendment or repeal is presented to the Board). The stockholders shall also have power to adopt, amend or repeal these Bylaws, provided, however, that in addition to any vote of the holders of any class or series of stock of this corporation required by law or by the Restated Certificate of Incorporation of this corporation, the affirmative vote of the holders of at least sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66 2/3%) of the voting power of all of the then outstanding shares of the stock of the corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class, shall be required for such adoption, amendment or repeal by the stockholders of any provisions of these Bylaws.

Support.com Reports Second Quarter 2010 Financial Results

REDWOOD CITY, CA—(Marketwire - July 29, 2010) - Support.com, Inc. (NASDAQ: SPRT), a leading provider of services and software that help consumers and small businesses with their technology needs, today reported unaudited financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2010.

For the second quarter of 2010, total revenue was $9.9 million, compared to $3.4 million in the second quarter of 2009 and $9.9 million in the first quarter of 2010. Second quarter 2010 revenue consisted of $6.9 million in services revenue and $3.0 million in software and other revenue.

On a GAAP basis, net loss from continuing operations for the second quarter of 2010 was $6.2 million, or $(0.13) per share, compared to $4.2 million, or $(0.09) per share, in the second quarter of 2009, and $4.2 million, or $(0.09) per share, in the first quarter of 2010.

Non-GAAP net loss from continuing operations for the second quarter of 2010 was $5.1 million, or $(0.11) per share, compared to $6.1 million, or $(0.13) per share, in the second quarter of 2009, and $3.2 million, or $(0.07) per share, in the first quarter of 2010.

Non-GAAP results exclude stock-based compensation expenses, amortization of intangible assets, restructuring and impairment charges, and the income tax impact of the disposition of business units on continuing operations. These items impacted results from continuing operations by $1.1 million in the second quarter of 2010, $(1.8) million in the second quarter of 2009, and $944,000 in the first quarter of 2010. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results is presented in the tables below.

“In the second quarter, we staffed up to roll out new programs that will contribute substantially to future growth,” said Josh Pickus, President and Chief Executive Officer of Support.com. “Revenue took longer than expected to ramp, adversely affecting our results. Looking forward, we believe the investment to ensure superior customer experience in the early stages of programs will drive long-term success for both our partners and the Company.”

Disclosure Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Support.com has excluded stock-based compensation expenses, amortization of intangible assets, restructuring and impairment charges, and the income tax impact of the disposition of business units on continuing operations from its GAAP results in order to determine the non-GAAP financial measure of net income (loss) per share referenced in this document. We believe that the non-GAAP measure, when viewed in addition to and not in lieu of our reported GAAP results, assists investors in understanding our results of operations.

A. Stock-based compensation. Management excludes stock-based compensation expenses when evaluating its performance from period to period because such expenses do not require cash settlement and because such expenses are not used by management to assess the performance of the Company’s business. Stock-based compensation expense was $1.0 million in the second quarter of 2010, compared to $634,000 in the second quarter of 2009 and $856,000 in the first quarter of 2010.

B. Amortization of intangible assets. The Company does not acquire businesses on a predictable cycle; therefore management excludes acquisition-related intangible asset amortization and related charges when evaluating its operating performance. The Company also excludes such charges as they represent non-cash expenses. Amortization expense was $93,000 in the second quarter of 2010, compared to $42,000 in the second quarter of 2009 and $88,000 in the first quarter of 2010.


C. Restructuring and impairment charges. The Company does not undertake significant restructurings on a predictable basis and, as result, excludes associated charges in order to enable better and more consistent evaluation of the Company’s operating expenses before and after such actions are taken. Restructuring and impairment expense was zero in the second quarter of 2010, compared to $328,000 in the second quarter of 2009 and zero in the first quarter of 2010.

D. Income tax impact of disposition of business units. The Company excludes the income tax impact of the disposition of business units when evaluating the performance of its continuing operations, because this tax impact is not a result of the Company’s continuing operations. The income tax benefit related to the disposal of business units was zero in the second quarter of 2010, compared to $2.8 million in the second quarter of 2009 and zero in the first quarter of 2010.

The Company believes that non-GAAP measures have significant limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with the Company’s financial results as determined in accordance with GAAP and that these measures should only be used to evaluate the Company’s financial results in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures. In addition, the exclusion of the charges and expenses indicated above from the non-GAAP financial measures presented does not indicate an expectation by management that such charges and expenses will not be incurred in subsequent periods.

Note 1: The adjustments above reconcile the Company's GAAP financial results to the non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company. The Company's non-GAAP financial measures exclude restructuring charges, stock-based compensation, amortization of intangible assets, and the income tax benefit from the sale of the Enterprise business from the GAAP financial results. The Company believes that the presentation of these non-GAAP items provides meaningful supplemental information to investors, when viewed in conjunction with, and not in lieu of, the Company's GAAP results. However, the non-GAAP financial measures have not been prepared under a comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. Non-GAAP information should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Moreover, there are material limitations associated with the use of non-GAAP financial measures. See the text of this press release for more information on non-GAAP financial measures.

2010 amounts are subject to completion of management's and its independent registered public accounting firm's customary closing and review procedures.

Note 2: Amounts are reclassified to conform to current presentation from reviewed financial statements.
