PROXY STATEMENT

ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

DECEMBER 15, 2008

This proxy statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Board of Directors of I.D. Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation, to be used at our Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) to be held at our principal executive offices, located at One University Plaza, Hackensack, New Jersey 07601, on Monday, December 15, 2008, at 9:00 a.m. (Eastern Standard Time), and any adjournments or postponements thereof.

On or about November 5, 2008, our Annual Report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, including financial statements, this proxy statement and the accompanying form of proxy card are being mailed to our stockholders of record as of the close of business on October 29, 2008.

Purpose of the Annual Meeting

The purposes of the Annual Meeting are (i) to elect five directors; (ii) to approve and adopt the I.D. Systems, Inc. 2008 Non-Employee Director Equity Compensation Plan (the “2008 Plan”); (iii) to ratify the appointment of Eisner LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2008; and (iv) to transact such other business as may properly come before the Annual Meeting or at any adjournment or postponement thereof. In addition to the foregoing, there will be a report on the progress of our company and an opportunity for questions of general interest to the stockholders.

Record Date and Outstanding Shares

Our Board of Directors has fixed the close of business on October 29, 2008 as the record date (the “Record Date”) for the determination of stockholders entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Annual Meeting. Only stockholders of record at the close of business on the Record Date will be entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting or any and all adjournments or postponements thereof. As of the Record Date, we had issued and outstanding 10,892,993 shares of common stock. Our common stock comprises all of our issued and outstanding voting stock.

At least ten (10) days before the Annual Meeting, we will make a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting open to the examination of any of our stockholders for any purpose germane to the Annual Meeting. The list will be available for inspection during ordinary business hours at our offices at One University Plaza, Hackensack, New Jersey 07601, and will be made available to stockholders present at the Annual Meeting.

Voting at the Annual Meeting

Each share of our common stock outstanding on the Record Date will be entitled to one vote on each matter submitted to a vote of our stockholders. Cumulative voting by stockholders is not permitted.

The presence at the meeting, in person or by proxy, of the holders of a majority of the total outstanding shares of our common stock is necessary to constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at the Annual Meeting. Abstentions and broker “non-votes” (as defined below) are counted as present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining a quorum.

If you hold your shares of our common stock through a broker, bank or other representative, generally the broker, bank or representative may only vote the common stock that it holds for you in accordance with your instructions. However, if the broker, bank or representative has not timely received your instructions, it may vote on certain matters for which it has discretionary voting authority. A broker “non-vote” on a matter occurs when a broker, bank or your representative may not vote on a particular matter because it does not have discretionary voting authority and has not received instructions from the beneficial owner.

For the election of directors, a plurality of the votes cast is required. Since the number of candidates is equal to the number of vacancies, receipt of any votes in favor of any candidate will ensure that that candidate is elected. If no voting direction is indicated on the proxy cards, the shares will be considered votes for the nominees. In accordance with Delaware law, stockholders entitled to vote for the election of directors may withhold authority to vote for all nominees for directors or may withhold authority to vote for certain nominees for directors. Abstentions and broker “non-votes” are not considered for the purpose of the election of directors.

For the approval and adoption of the 2008 Plan, the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the total votes cast on such proposal in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting is required. Abstentions and broker “non-votes” for such proposal are not considered to have been voted on the proposal.

For the ratification of the appointment of Eisner LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2008, the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the total votes cast on such proposal in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting is required. Abstentions and broker “non-votes” for such proposal are not considered to have been voted on the proposal.

Holders of our common stock will not have any rights of appraisal or similar dissenter’s rights with respect to any matter to be acted upon at the Annual Meeting.

Voting of Proxies

You may vote your shares by signing the enclosed proxy or voting instruction card and returning it in a timely manner. Please mark the appropriate boxes on the card and sign, date and return the card promptly. A postage-paid return envelope is enclosed for your convenience.

Unless we receive specific instructions to the contrary or unless such proxy is revoked, shares represented by each properly executed proxy will be voted: (i) FOR the election of each of our nominees as a director; (ii) FOR the approval and adoption of the 2008 Plan; (iii) FOR the ratification of the appointment of Eisner LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2008; and (iv) with respect to any other matters that may properly come before the Annual Meeting, at the discretion of the proxy holders. We do not presently anticipate that any other business will be presented for action at the Annual Meeting.

Revocation of Proxies

Any person signing a proxy in the form accompanying this proxy statement has the power to revoke it prior to the Annual Meeting or at the Annual Meeting prior to the vote pursuant to the proxy. A proxy may be revoked by any of the following methods:

•

by writing a letter delivered to Ned Mavrommatis, our Secretary, stating that the proxy is revoked;

•

by submitting another proxy with a later date; or

•

by attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person.

Please note, however, that if a stockholder’s shares are held of record by a broker, bank or other nominee and that stockholder wishes to vote at the Annual Meeting, the stockholder must bring to the Annual Meeting a letter from the broker, bank or other nominee confirming that stockholder’s beneficial ownership of the shares.

Solicitation

The cost of preparing, assembling and mailing the proxy material and of reimbursing brokers, nominees and fiduciaries for the out-of-pocket and clerical expenses of transmitting copies of the proxy material to the beneficial owners of shares held of record by such persons will be borne by us. We do not intend to solicit proxies otherwise than by mail, but certain officers and regular employees of our company, without additional compensation, may use their personal efforts, by telephone or otherwise, to obtain proxies.

Execution of the accompanying proxy card will not affect a stockholder’s right to attend the Annual Meeting and vote in person. Any stockholder giving a proxy has the right to revoke it by giving written notice of revocation to our Secretary at any time before the proxy is voted or by attendance at the Annual Meeting and electing to vote in person.

PROPOSAL NO. 1

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Five (5) directors will be elected at the Annual Meeting to hold office until the next annual meeting of our stockholders and until their successors have been duly elected and qualified. If any nominee is unable to serve, which the Board of Directors has no reason to expect, the persons named in the accompanying proxy intend to vote for the balance of those named and, if they deem it advisable, for a substitute nominee. The five (5) nominees for election as directors to serve until the next annual meeting of our stockholders and until their successors have been duly elected and qualified are Jeffrey M. Jagid, Kenneth S. Ehrman, Lawrence Burstein, Harold D. Copperman and Michael Monaco.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT THE STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE ELECTION AS DIRECTORS (ITEM 1 OF THE ENCLOSED PROXY CARD) OF JEFFREY M. JAGID, KENNETH S. EHRMAN, LAWRENCE BURSTEIN, HAROLD D. COPPERMAN AND MICHAEL MONACO.

BOARD AND COMMITTEE MEETINGS

Our Board of Directors is responsible for the management and direction of our company and for establishing broad corporate policies. Members of the Board of Directors are kept informed of our business through various documents and reports provided by the Chief Executive Officer and other corporate officers, and by participating in Board of Directors and committee meetings. Each director has access to all our books, records and reports, and members of management are available at all times to answer their questions.

From the beginning of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 through May 2, 2008, the date that Beatrice Yormark, who was a director at such time, passed away, the majority of the Board of Directors was comprised of independent directors, Messrs. Burstein and Monaco and Ms. Yormark, in accordance with Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4350(c)(1) and the Audit Committee was comprised of three independent directors in accordance with Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4350(d)(2). As previously disclosed, in May 2008, we received a Nasdaq Staff Deficiency Letter indicating that as a result of the passing of Ms. Yormark and the resulting vacancy on each of the Board of Directors and the Audit Committee, we failed to have (i) a majority of the Board of Directors comprised of independent directors as required by Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4350(c)(1) and (ii) three independent directors serving on the Audit Committee of the Board as required by Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4350(d)(2). As a result of the appointment of Mr. Copperman as a member of the Board of Directors and a member of the Audit Committee on October 14, 2008, a majority of the Board of Directors is comprised of independent directors as required by Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4350(c)(1) and the Audit Committee of the Board is comprised of three independent directors as required by Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4350(d)(2). On October 14, 2008, we received notice from the staff of Nasdaq of its determination that, as a result of Mr. Copperman’s appointment as a director and member of the Audit Committee, we had regained compliance with Nasdaq Marketplace Rules 4350(c)(1) and 4350(d)(2).

The Board of Directors held five meetings during our fiscal year ended December 31, 2007. All of such meetings were attended, either in person or telephonically, by all of the members of the Board of Directors. Actions were also taken during such year by the unanimous written consent of the directors. We have adopted a policy of encouraging, but not requiring, members of the Board of Directors to attend our annual meetings of stockholders. All of the members of the Board of Directors at the time of our annual meeting of stockholders last year attended such meeting.

Committees of the Board of Directors

The standing committees of the Board of Directors include an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee and a Nominating Committee.

Audit Committee

The Audit Committee, which is a separately designated standing audit committee established in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is composed of Messrs. Burstein, Copperman and Monaco, each of whom is independent within the meaning of Rule 4200(a)(15) of the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules and under Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act. From the beginning of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 through May 2, 2008, the Audit Committee was composed of three members, Messrs. Burstein and Monaco and Ms. Yormark, and from May 2, 2008 until October 14, 2008, the Audit Committee was composed of two members, Messrs. Burstein and Monaco.

The Board of Directors has determined that it has at least one audit committee financial expert serving on the Audit Committee. Mr. Monaco serves as the audit committee financial expert. Mr. Monaco also serves as the Chairman of the Audit Committee.

The Audit Committee held six meetings during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007. All of such meetings were attended, either in person or telephonically, by all of the members of the Audit Committee, with the exception of one meeting at which one member was unable to attend.

The Board of Directors has adopted a written charter for the Audit Committee, a copy of which is publicly available on our website at www.id-systems.com. The Audit Committee’s charter sets forth the responsibilities, authority and specific duties of the Audit Committee and is reviewed and reassessed annually. The charter specifies, among other things, the structure and membership requirements of the Audit Committee, as well as the relationship of the Audit Committee to our independent registered public accounting firm and management.

In accordance with its written charter, the Audit Committee assists the Board of Directors in monitoring (1) the integrity of our financial reporting process including our internal controls regarding financial reporting, (2) our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and (3) the independence and performance of our internal and external auditors, and serves as an avenue of communication among the independent registered public accounting firm, management and the Board of Directors.

Audit Committee Report

The following report of the Audit Committee is not to be deemed “soliciting material” or deemed to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission or subject to Regulation 14A of the Exchange Act, except to the extent specifically requested by us or incorporated by reference in documents otherwise filed.

The Audit Committee has reviewed our audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2007 with management and Eisner LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm.

The Audit Committee has discussed and reviewed with Eisner LLP all the matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61 (Communication with Audit Committees). It has also received the written disclosures and the letter from Eisner LLP required

by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1 (Independence Discussions with Audit Committees) and has discussed with Eisner LLP their independence.

Based on this review and discussions, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that our audited financial statements be included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Nominating Committee

The Nominating Committee is composed of Messrs. Burstein, Copperman and Monaco, each of whom is independent within the meaning of Rule 4200(a)(15) of the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules.

The Nominating Committee held one meeting during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, which was attended, either in person or telephonically, by all of the members of the Nominating Committee

The Board of Directors has adopted a written charter for the Nominating Committee, which is publicly available on our website at www.id-systems.com. The Nominating Committee’s charter authorizes the committee to develop certain procedures and guidelines addressing certain nominating matters, such as procedures for considering nominations made by stockholders, minimum qualifications for nominees and identification and evaluation of candidates for the Board of Directors, and the Nominating Committee has adopted procedures addressing the foregoing.

Procedures for Considering Nominations Made by Stockholders. The Nominating Committee has adopted guidelines regarding procedures for nominations to be submitted by stockholders and other third-parties, other than candidates who have previously served on the Board of Directors or who are recommended by the Board of Directors. These guidelines provide that a nomination must be delivered to our Secretary at our principal executive offices not later than the close of business on the 90th day nor earlier than the close of business on the 120th day prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting; provided, however, that if the date of the annual meeting is more than 30 days before or more than 60 days after such anniversary date, notice to be timely must be so delivered not earlier than the close of business on the 120th day prior to such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the 90th day prior to such annual meeting or the close of business on the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made by us. The public announcement of an adjournment or postponement of an annual meeting will not commence a new time period (or extend any time period) for the giving of a notice as described above. The guidelines require a nomination notice to set forth as to each person whom the proponent proposes to nominate for election as a director: (a) all information relating to such person that is required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for election of directors in an election contest, or is otherwise required, in each case pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Exchange Act (including such person’s written consent to being named in the proxy statement as a nominee and to serving as a director if elected), and (b) information that will enable the Nominating Committee to determine whether the candidate or candidates satisfy the criteria established pursuant to the charter for director candidates.

Qualifications. The Nominating Committee has adopted guidelines describing the minimum qualifications for nominees and the qualities or skills that are necessary for directors to possess. Each nominee:

•

must satisfy any legal requirements applicable to members of the Board of Directors;

•

must have business or professional experience that will enable such nominee to provide useful input to the Board of Directors in its deliberations;

•

must have a reputation, in one or more of the communities serviced by us and our affiliates, for honesty and ethical conduct;

•

must have a working knowledge of the types of responsibilities expected of members of the board of directors of a public company; and

•

must have experience, either as a member of the board of directors of another public or private company or in another capacity, that demonstrates the nominee’s capacity to serve in a fiduciary position.

Identification and Evaluation of Candidates for the Board. Candidates to serve on the Board of Directors will be identified from all available sources, including recommendations made by stockholders. The Nominating Committee has a policy that there will be no differences in the manner in which the Nominating Committee evaluates nominees recommended by stockholders and nominees recommended by the Committee or management, except that no specific process shall be mandated with respect to the nomination of any individuals who have previously served on the Board of Directors. The evaluation process for individuals other than existing members of the Board of Directors will include:

•

a review of the information provided to the Nominating Committee by the proponent;

•

a review of reference letters from at least two sources determined to be reputable by the Nominating Committee; and

•

a personal interview of the candidate, together with a review of such other information as the Nominating Committee shall determine to be relevant.

In May 2008, we engaged a third-party consultant to assist the Nominating Committee in searching for and identifying qualified individuals to recommend to the Board of Directors to fill the vacancy on the Board of Directors that was created by Ms. Yormark’s passing.

Third Party Recommendations. In connection with the Annual Meeting, the Nominating Committee did not receive any nominations from any stockholder or group of stockholders which owned more than 5% of our common stock for at least one year.

Process for Sending Communications to the Board of Directors

The Board of Directors has established a procedure that enables stockholders to communicate in writing with members of the Board of Directors. Any such communication should be addressed to our Secretary and should be sent to such individual c/o One University Plaza, Hackensack, New Jersey 07601. Any such communication must state, in a conspicuous

manner, that it is intended for distribution to the entire Board of Directors. Under the procedures established by the Board of Directors, upon the Secretary’s receipt of such a communication, our Secretary will send a copy of such communication to each member of the Board of Directors, identifying it as a communication received from a stockholder. Absent unusual circumstances, at the next regularly scheduled meeting of the Board of Directors held more than two days after such communication has been distributed, the Board of Directors will consider the substance of any such communication.

Code of Ethics

We have a code of ethics that applies to its Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Controller and other persons who perform similar functions. A copy of our code of ethics can be found on our website at www.id-systems.com. Our code of ethics is intended to be a codification of the business and ethical principles that guide it, and to deter wrongdoing, to promote honest and ethical conduct, to avoid conflicts of interest, and to foster full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosures, compliance with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations, the prompt internal reporting of violations and accountability for adherence to this code.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Introduction

This discussion presents the principles underlying our executive officer compensation program. Our goal in this discussion is to provide the reasons why we award compensation as we do and to place in perspective the data presented in the tables that follow this discussion. The focus is primarily on compensation of our executive officers for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, but some historical and forward-looking information is also provided to put such year’s compensation information in context. The information presented herein relates to Jeffrey M. Jagid, our chief executive officer, Ned Mavrommatis, our chief financial officer, and our three other most highly compensated executive officers, who are sometimes referred to in this proxy statement as our “named executive officers.”

Compensation Philosophy and Objectives

We attempt to apply a consistent philosophy to compensation for all employees, including senior management. This philosophy is based on the premises that our success is dependent upon the efforts of each employee and that a cooperative, team-oriented environment is an essential part of our culture. We believe in the importance of rewarding our employees for our successes, which is why we emphasize pay-for-performance incentive compensation. Particular emphasis is placed on broad employee equity participation through the use of stock options and restricted stock awards, as well as on annual cash bonuses linked to achievement of our corporate performance goals.

Our compensation programs for our named executive officers are designed to achieve a variety of goals, including:

•

attracting and retaining talented and experienced executives;

•

motivating and rewarding executives whose knowledge, skills and performance are critical to our success;

•

aligning the interests of our executives and stockholders by motivating executives to increase stockholder value in a sustained manner; and

•

providing a competitive compensation package which rewards achievement of our goals.

Elements of Executive Officer Compensation

Overview. Total compensation paid to our executive officers is influenced significantly by the need to attract and retain management employees with a high level of expertise and to motivate and retain key executives for our long-term success. Some of the components of compensation, such as salary, are generally fixed and do not vary based on our financial and other performance. Some components, such as bonus, stock options and stock award grants, are dependent upon the achievement of certain goals jointly agreed upon by our management and the

Compensation Committee. Furthermore, the value of certain of these components, such as stock options and restricted stock, is dependent upon our future stock price.

We compensate our executive officers in these different ways in order to achieve different goals. Cash compensation, for example, provides executive officers a minimum base salary. Incentive bonus compensation is generally linked to the achievement of financial and business goals, and is intended to reward executive officers for our overall performance in reaching annual goals that are agreed to in advance by management and the Compensation Committee. Stock options and grants of restricted stock are intended to link our executive officers’ longer-term compensation with the performance of our stock and to build executive ownership positions in our stock. This encourages our executive officers to remain with us, to act in ways intended to maximize stockholder value, and to penalize them if we and/or our stock fails to perform to expectations.

We view the three components of our executive officer compensation as related but distinct. Although the Compensation Committee does review total compensation, it does not believe that compensation derived from one component of compensation necessarily should negate or reduce compensation from other components. We determine the appropriate level for each compensation component based in part, but not exclusively, on its historical practices with the individual and our view of individual performance and other information we deem relevant. The Compensation Committee has not adopted any formal or informal policies or guidelines for allocating compensation between long-term and currently paid out compensation, between cash and non-cash compensation, or among different forms of compensation. We have not reviewed wealth and retirement accumulation as a result of employment with us, and have only focused on fair compensation for the year in question.

The Compensation Committee utilized reports from Equilar, Inc., a market leader for benchmarking executive compensation. The Compensation Committee realizes that benchmarking our compensation against the compensation earned at comparable companies may not always be appropriate, but believes that engaging in a comparative analysis of compensation practices is useful.

Base Salary. We pay our executive officers a base salary, which we review and determine annually. We believe that a competitive base salary is a necessary element of any compensation program. We believe that attractive base salaries can motivate and reward executives for their overall performance. Base salaries are established in part based on the individual position, responsibility, experience, skills and expected contributions during the coming year of the executive and their performance during the prior year. We also have sought to align base compensation levels comparable to our competitors and other companies in similar stages of development. We do not view base salaries as primarily serving our objective of paying for performance, but in attracting and retaining the most qualified executives necessary to run our business.

Based on all of the factors described above, including base salary, company performance and individual performance reviews, in January 2007, effective as of January 1, 2007, we granted our Chief Executive Officer a base salary increase of 22.5%, each of our Chief Financial Officer and our President and Chief Operating Officer a base salary increase of 14.5% and our Executive

Vice President of Engineering a base salary increase of 18%. Based on all of the factors described above, in February 2008, effective as of January 1, 2008, we granted our Chief Executive Officer and each of the other named executive officers received, on average, a base salary increase of 4%.

Cash Incentive Bonuses. Consistent with our emphasis on pay-for-performance incentive compensation programs, each of our executives are eligible to receive up to 100% of his salary as an annual cash incentive bonus based upon meeting predetermined company financial and in the case of our Executive Vice President of Sales, Marketing & Customer Support, other measures established by us. The financial goals for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, included target measures for revenue, gross margins and operating income (before equity compensation) and in the case of our Executive Vice President of Sales, Marketing & Customer Support, additional performance objectives. The primary objective of our annual cash incentive bonuses is to motivate and reward our employees, including our named executive officers, for meeting our short-term objectives using a pay-for-performance program with objectively determinable performance goals. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, our Chief Executive Officer and our other named executive officers other than our Executive Vice President of Sales, Marketing & Customer Support earned 12.5% of their base salaries based on our meeting certain of our financial objectives, and our Executive Vice President of Sales, Marketing & Customer Support earned 28.4% of his base salary for the period from March 5, 2007 through December 31, 2007, based on our meeting certain of our financial objectives and certain other predetermined objectives.

Equity Compensation. We believe that stock options and restricted stock awards are an important long-term incentive for our executive officers and employees and that our stock option and restricted stock award program has been effective in aligning officer and employee interests with that of our stockholders. We review our equity compensation plans annually. Employees are eligible for annual stock option and restricted stock award grants based on targeted levels. These options and grants are intended to produce value for each executive officer if (i) our stockholders derive significant sustained value; and (ii) the executive officer remains with us.

At its January 19, 2007 meeting, the Compensation Committee, considered equity grants to be made for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007. The number of restricted stock units granted to and held by our executive officers are reflected in the “Summary Compensation Table” and the “Grants of Plan-Based Awards” table below.

We do not have any program, plan or obligation that requires us to grant equity compensation to any executive officer on specified dates. The authority to make equity grants to executive officers rests with the Compensation Committee, although, as noted above, the Compensation Committee does consider the recommendations of our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer in setting the compensation of our other executive officers.

Severance and Change-in-Control Benefits.

Except for the severance and change-in-control benefits described below, we do not provide to any of our executive officers any severance or change in control benefits in the event of termination or retirement, whether following a change-in-control or otherwise.

If we terminate Peter Fausel, our Executive Vice President - Sales, Marketing and Customer Support, other than for cause (as defined below) prior to March 5, 2010, Mr. Fausel will receive a continuation of his salary for a period of six months plus all earned but unpaid bonus as of the date of such termination. For this purpose, the term “cause” is defined by us and includes, but is not limited to, any willful or grossly negligent breach of Mr. Fausel’s duties as an employee and termination for fraud, embezzlement or any other similar dishonest conduct or for violation of our rules of conduct. If Mr. Fausel had been terminated other than for cause as of December 31, 2007, Mr. Fausel would have been entitled to receive severance payments through June 30, 2008 in the aggregate amount of $130,000.

Our 1999 Stock Option Plan provides that all outstanding stock options, including stock options held by our executive officers, will become immediately exercisable, and the restrictions with respect to outstanding restricted shares will lapse, upon the occurrence of a “change in control event.” For this purpose, a “change in control event” shall be deemed to occur if any of the following events occur: (a) the consummation of any merger of our company with any other company unless the combined voting power of our voting securities outstanding immediately prior thereto continue to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the surviving entity) more than 70% of the combined voting power of the voting securities of our company or such surviving entity outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation; (b) the consummation of any sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of our assets; (c) approval by our stockholders of a plan of liquidation of our company; (d) any action pursuant to which any person or group (as defined in Sections 3(a)(9) and 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) shall become the beneficial owner of 20% or more of our outstanding voting securities; or (e) the individuals who were members of our Board of Directors on May 14, 1999 (the date on which our 1999 Stock Option Plan was initially adopted by the Board), including any individuals who became or become directors after that date and whose election or nomination for election was approved by at least two-thirds of the directors of our Board, cease to constitute a majority of the members of our Board of Directors.

Our 2007 Equity Compensation Plan provides that, in the event of a consolidation or merger in which, after any such transaction our prior shareholder owns less than 50% of the voting shares of the continuing or surviving entity, or in the event of the sale or transfer of substantially all of our assets, all outstanding options will become exercisable and all restrictions and/or forfeitures with respect to restricted stock awards and restricted stock units will lapse.

Benefits. The executive officers participate in all of our employee benefit plans, such as medical and 401(k) plan, on the same basis as our other employees, except that we pay 100% of the premiums for health and dental insurance of our executive officers and 75% of the premiums for health and dental insurance of our other employees.

Perquisites. Our Chief Executive Officer and our other named executive officers receive an allowance for automobile and related expenses. Our use of perquisites as an element of compensation is very limited. We do not view perquisites as a significant element of our comprehensive compensation structure.

The Compensation Committee Process

Compensation Committee meetings typically involve a preliminary discussion with our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer prior to the Compensation Committee deliberating without any members of management present. For compensation decisions, including decisions regarding the grant of equity compensation relating to executive officers (other than our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer), the Compensation Committee considers the recommendations of our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and includes him in its discussions.

Regulatory Considerations

We account for the equity compensation expense for our employees under the rules of SFAS 123R, which requires us to estimate and record an expense for each award of equity compensation over the service period of the award. Accounting rules also require us to record cash compensation as an expense at the time the obligation is accrued.

Compensation of Directors

We reimburse our directors for reasonable travel expenses incurred in connection with their activities on our behalf. Non-employee directors also receive $2,500 per board meeting, $250 per telephonic board meeting, $5,000 per year for serving on the Audit Committee and $1,000 per year for serving on the Compensation Committee.

Non-employee directors are entitled to participate in our 1999 Director Option Plan. As of October 29, 2008, a total of 600,000 shares of our common stock have been reserved for issuance under such plan. The plan provides for the automatic grant of an option to purchase 15,000 shares to each non-employee director at the time he or she is first elected to our Board of Directors and an automatic grant of an option to purchase 5,000 shares on the first day of each fiscal quarter, if on such date he or she has served on our Board of Directors for at least six months. Each option grant under the plan has a term of 10 years and vests on a cumulative monthly basis over a four-year period. The exercise price of all options equals the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, each of our non-employee directors received options to purchase 5,000 shares of our common stock on each of January 3, 2007, April 2, 2007, July 2, 2007 and October 1, 2007 at a per share exercise price of $18.28, $11.61, $12.86 and $12.24, respectively.

No options may be granted under the 1999 Director Option Plan after May 13, 2009. On October 28, 2008, the Board of Directors adopted the 2008 Plan, subject to the approval of our stockholders. If the 2008 Plan is approved by our stockholders at the Annual Meeting, no additional options to purchase shares of our common stock will be granted under the 1999 Director Option Plan. A description of the 2008 Plan is set forth on pages 33 through 36 of this proxy statement.

Employee directors are entitled to participate in our 1999 Stock Option Plan. As of October 29, 2008, a total of 2,812,500 shares of our common stock have been reserved for issuance under the plan. The plan provides for grants of incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options and restricted stock awards. Options can be granted under the plan on terms and at prices as determined by our Board of Directors, or the Compensation Committee, except that the exercise price of incentive options will not be less than the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant. In the case of an incentive stock option granted to an employee who owns more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of our common stock, the

per share exercise price will not be less than 110% of the fair market value on the date of grant. The aggregate fair market value, determined on the date of grant, of the shares covered by incentive stock options granted under the plan that become exercisable by a grantee for the first time in any calendar year is subject to a $100,000 limit. Restricted stock units can be granted under the plan, with such shares subject to a risk of forfeiture or other restrictions that will lapse upon the achievement of one or more conditions relating to completion of service by the participant, or achievement of performance goals or such other objectives, as established and determined by our Board of Directors, or the Compensation Committee. At the time a grant of a restricted stock unit is made, our Board of Directors, or the Compensation Committee, shall establish a period of time applicable to the shares of our common stock that are the subject of such restricted stock unit. Each grant of restricted shares may be subject to a different restricted period.

Employee directors are also entitled to participate in our 2007 Equity Compensation Plan. As of October 29, 2008, a total of 2,000,000 shares of our common stock have been reserved for issuance under the plan. The plan provides for grants of incentive stock options, nonstatutory stock options, restricted or unrestricted stock awards, and restricted stock units. Options can be granted under the plan on terms and at prices as determined by our Board of Directors, or the Compensation Committee, except that the exercise price of options will not be less than the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant. In the case of an incentive stock option granted to an employee who owns more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of our common stock, the per share exercise price will not be less than 110% of the fair market value on the date of grant. No option may be exercisable for more than ten years (five years in the case of an incentive option granted to a ten-percent stockholder) from the date of grant. Options issued under the plan will be exercisable at such time or times as the Compensation Committee prescribes at the time of grant. The Board of Directors, or the Compensation Committee, also may grant a restricted stock award and/or a restricted stock unit award to any eligible employee director. Under a restricted stock award, shares of our common stock that are the subject of the award are generally subject to restrictions on transfer to the extent that the recipient terminates service with us prior to the award having vested. The Board of Directors, or the Compensation Committee, shall determine the restrictions and vesting terms of each stock award. Unless otherwise determined by the Board of Directors, or Compensation Committee, holders of restricted shares will have the right to vote such shares and to receive any cash dividends with respect thereto during the restriction period. Any stock dividends will be subject to the same restrictions as the underlying shares of restricted stock. The recipient of a restricted stock unit award will be entitled to receive a number of shares of our common stock that is equal to the number of units granted if and when the units vest. The Board of Directors, or the Compensation Committee, may grant unrestricted stock awards to any eligible employee director. Unrestricted shares do not require any payment by the recipient and are not subject to forfeiture or transfer restrictions (except to the extent imposed by law).

The following table provides certain information with respect to the compensation paid to our non-employee directors during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007.

PROPOSAL NO. 2

APPROVAL AND ADOPTION OF

THE I.D. SYSTEMS, INC. 2008 NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTOR EQUITY

COMPENSATION PLAN

General

On October 28, 2008, the Board of Directors adopted the I.D. Systems, Inc. 2008 Non-Employee Director Equity Compensation Plan, or the 2008 Plan, subject to the approval of our stockholders.

The Board of Directors believes that stock-based awards are a key component to our ability to retain and attract high quality directors to manage our business and affairs. The 2008 Plan advances our interests by enhancing our ability to attract and retain directors who are in a position to make significant contributions to our success and to reward those directors for their contributions through ownership of shares of our common stock.

If the 2008 Plan is approved by our stockholders, no additional options to purchase shares of our common stock will be granted under the 1999 Director Option Plan.

Description of the 2008 Non-Employee Director Equity Compensation Plan

The following description of the principal terms of the 2008 Plan is a summary and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the 2008 Plan, which is attached as Appendix A hereto.

Administration. The 2008 Plan will be administered by the Board of Directors or a committee designated by the Board of Directors and consisting solely of members of the Board of Directors. The administrator may grant options to purchase shares of our common stock, as well as restricted shares of our common stock. The administrator also has authority to determine the terms and conditions of each option or restricted stock award and adopt, amend and rescind rules and regulations for the administration of the 2008 Plan. No options or restricted stock awards may be made under the Plan after December 15, 2018, but the 2008 Plan will continue thereafter while previously granted options or awards remain subject to the 2008 Plan.

Non-Employee Directors Eligible to Receive Options or Awards Under the 2008 Plan. Each director who is not an employee of our company (or any of our subsidiaries) is eligible to receive options or restricted stock awards under the 2008 Plan. As of the date hereof, three of our directors are eligible to receive options or awards under the 2008 Plan.

Shares Subject to the 2008 Plan. The aggregate number of shares of common stock available for issuance in connection with options and awards granted under the 2008 Plan will be 1,000,000, subject to customary adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends or similar transactions. If any option granted under the 2008 Plan terminates without having been exercised in full or if any award is forfeited, the number of shares of common stock as to which that option or award was forfeited will be available for future grants within certain limits under

the 2008 Plan. As of October 29, 2008, the closing price of our common stock on the Nasdaq National Market was $5.60 per share.

Terms and Conditions of Options. The exercise price of options granted under the 2008 Plan shall be 100% of the fair market value per share on the date of grant. No option may be exercisable for more than ten years from the date of grant. Options issued under the 2008 Plan will be exercisable at such time or times as the administrator of the 2008 Plan prescribes at the time of grant. Unless otherwise determined by the administrator, options generally will be exercisable as to 25% of the shares of common stock underlying such option on the first anniversary date of the date of grant and as to an additional 25% on each of the next three anniversaries thereafter, provided that the recipient is in our service.

Generally, the option price may be paid (a) in cash or by certified check, bank draft or money order, (b) through delivery of shares of our common stock having a fair market value equal to the purchase price, or (c) a combination of these methods. The administrator is also authorized to establish a cashless exercise program.

No option may be transferred other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and during a recipient’s lifetime an option may be exercised only by the recipient. Unless otherwise determined by the administrator of the 2008 Plan, options that are exercisable at the time of a recipient’s termination of service with us will continue to be exercisable for three months (twelve months if the optionee terminates service due to death or disability).

Terms and Conditions of Restricted Stock Awards. The administrator of the 2008 Plan also may grant a restricted stock award to any director who is not an employee of our company (or any of our subsidiaries). Under a restricted stock award, shares of common stock that are the subject of the award are generally subject to restrictions on transfer to the extent that the recipient terminates service with us prior to the award having vested. Unless otherwise determined by the administrator, the transfer restrictions will lapse as to 25% of the shares subject to a restricted stock award on the first anniversary date of the date of grant and as to an additional 25% on each of the next three anniversaries thereafter, provided that the recipient is in our service. If the recipient of a restricted stock award terminates service with us before the restrictions have lapsed with respect to all shares, the shares for which the restrictions have not lapsed will be returned to us. Unless otherwise determined by the administrator, holders of restricted shares will have the right to vote such shares and to receive any cash dividends with respect thereto during the restriction period. Any stock dividends will be subject to the same restrictions as the underlying shares of restricted stock.

In the event of a consolidation or merger in which our company is not the surviving corporation or which results in the acquisition of substantially all of our outstanding stock by a single person or entity or by a group of persons and/or entities acting in concert, or in the event of the sale or transfer of substantially all of our assets, the 2008 Plan provides that all outstanding options will become exercisable unless the successor entity assumes such options. In addition, in the event that a holder of a restricted stock award under the 2008 Plan ceases to continue as a member of the board (or the board of directors of a successor company) following such a change

in control event, then all restrictions and/or forfeitures with respect to such restricted stock award will lapse.

Our Board of Directors may at any time amend the 2008 Plan for the purpose of satisfying the requirements of the Code, or other applicable law or regulation or for any other legal purpose, provided that, without the consent of our stockholders, the Board of Directors may not (a) increase the number of shares of common stock available under the 2008 Plan, (b) change the group of individuals eligible to receive options and/or awards or (c) extend the term of the 2008 Plan.

Federal Income Consequences

Following is a summary of the federal income tax consequences of option and restricted stock award grants under the 2008 Plan. Optionees and recipients of restricted stock awards granted under the 2008 Plan are advised to consult their personal tax advisors before exercising an option or award or disposing of any stock received pursuant to the exercise of an option or award. In addition, the following summary is based upon an analysis of the Code as currently in effect, existing laws, judicial decisions, administrative rulings, regulations and proposed regulations, all of which are subject to change and does not address state, local or other tax laws.

Treatment of Options

No income will be recognized to the optionee at the time of the grant of the options under the 2008 Plan, nor will our company be entitled to a tax deduction at that time.

Generally, upon exercise of a nonstatutory stock option, an optionee will recognize ordinary income tax on the excess of the fair market value of the stock on the exercise date over the option price. We will be entitled to a tax deduction in an amount equal to the ordinary income recognized by the optionee in the fiscal year which includes the end of the optionee’s taxable year. We will be required to satisfy applicable withholding requirements in order to be entitled to a tax deduction. In general, if an optionee, in exercising a nonstatutory stock option, tenders shares of our common stock in partial or full payment of the option price, no gain or loss will be recognized on the tender.

Treatment of Restricted Stock Awards

Generally, absent an election to be taxed currently under Section 83(b) of the Code (a “Section 83(b) Election”), there will be no federal income tax consequences to either the recipient or our company upon the grant of a restricted stock award. At the expiration of the restriction period and the satisfaction of any other restrictions applicable to the restricted shares, the recipient will recognize ordinary income and our company generally will be entitled to a corresponding deduction equal to the fair market value of the common stock at that time. If a Section 83(b) Election is made within 30 days after the date the restricted stock award is granted, the recipient will recognize an amount of ordinary income at the time of the receipt of the restricted shares, and our company generally will be entitled to a corresponding deduction, equal to the fair market value (determined without regard to applicable restrictions) of the shares at

such time. If a Section 83(b) Election is made, no additional income will be recognized by the recipient upon the lapse of restrictions on the shares (and prior to the sale of such shares), but, if the shares are subsequently forfeited, the recipient may not deduct the income that was recognized pursuant to the Section 83(b) Election at the time of the receipt of the shares.

Tax Withholding

As and when appropriate, we will require each recipient of an option or restricted stock award under the 2008 Plan to pay any federal, state or local taxes required by law to be withheld.

Option and Restricted Stock Award Grants

The grant of options and restricted stock awards under the 2008 Plan is discretionary, and we cannot determine now the number or type of options or restricted stock awards to be granted in the future to any particular person.

SECTION 16(A) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our executive officers, directors and persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of our equity securities to file statements on Form 3, Form 4 and Form 5 of ownership and changes in ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Officers, directors and greater than 10% stockholders are required by the regulation to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) reports that they file.

Based solely upon a review of Forms 3 and 4 and amendments to these forms furnished to us, all parties subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) filed all such required reports during and with respect to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, except that Mr. Jagid filed a Form 4 with respect to his exercise of options pursuant to a previously adopted Rule 10b5-1 trading plan two business days following the date such Form 4 was due, and each of Messrs.

Such stockholder proposals must comply with our bylaws and the requirements of Regulation 14A of the Exchange Act.

Rule 14a-4 of the Exchange Act governs our use of our discretionary proxy voting authority with respect to a stockholder proposal that is not addressed in the proxy statement. With respect to our 2008 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, if we are not provided notice of a stockholder proposal prior to September 19, 2009, we will be permitted to use its discretionary voting authority when the proposal is raised at the meeting, without any discussion of the matter in the proxy statement.

As of the date of this proxy statement, the Board of Directors is not informed of any matters, other than those stated above, that may be brought before the meeting.

(iii) to determine the number of Options to be granted to any Outside Director and the exercise price and other terms and conditions of Options;

6. Term of the Plan. No Option or Restricted Stock Award may be granted under the Plan more than ten (10) years after the Effective Date.

7. Grants of Restricted Stock Awards. Subject to Section 3 hereof, the Administrator may grant Restricted Shares to Participants in such numbers and at such times as the Administrator determines to be appropriate.

8. Terms of Restricted Stock Awards. Except as provided herein, Restricted Shares shall be subject to restrictions (“Restrictions”) prohibiting such Restricted Shares from being sold, transferred, assigned, pledged or otherwise encumbered or disposed of. Unless otherwise provided by the Administrator, the Restrictions with respect to each award of Restricted Shares shall lapse as to one-fourth of such Restricted Shares on each one-year anniversary date of the grant of such award; provided, however, that the Restrictions with respect to such Restricted Shares shall lapse immediately in the event that (i) the Participant is removed from service as a Director (other than for Cause) before his or her term has expired (and does not continue as, or become, an employee of the Company or a subsidiary of the Company), (ii) the Participant is nominated for a new term as an Outside Director but is not elected by stockholders of the Company, (iii) the Participant ceases to be a member of the Board due to death, disability or mandatory retirement (if any), or (iv) if the Participant ceases to continue as a member of the Board or of the board of directors of a successor company following a Change in Control.

The Company shall issue, in the name of each Participant to whom Restricted Shares have been granted, stock certificates representing the total number of Restricted Shares granted to such Participant as soon as reasonably practicable after the grant. However, the Company shall hold such certificates, properly endorsed for transfer, for the Participant’s benefit until such time as the Restriction Period applicable to such Restricted Shares lapses. Upon the expiration or termination of the Restricted Period, the restrictions applicable to the

A-5

Restricted Shares shall lapse and a stock certificate for the number of Restricted Shares with respect to which the restrictions have lapsed shall be delivered, free of all such restrictions, to the Participant or his or her beneficiary or estate, as the case may be. In the event that a Participant ceases to be a member of the Board before the applicable Restriction Period has expired or under circumstances in which the Restriction Period does not otherwise lapse, the Restricted Shares granted to such Participant shall thereupon be forfeited and transferred back to the Company.

During the Restriction Period, a Participant shall have the right to vote his or her Restricted Shares and shall have the right to receive any cash dividends with respect to such Restricted Shares. All distributions, if any, received by a Participant with respect to Restricted Shares as a result of any stock split, stock distribution, combination of shares, or other similar transaction shall be subject to the same restrictions as are applicable to the Restricted Shares to which such distributions relate.

9. Grants of Options. Subject to Section 3 hereof, the Administrator may grant Options to Participants in such numbers and at such times as the Administrator determines to be appropriate. Options shall be in such form and shall contain such terms and conditions as required by the Plan and the Administrator. Each Option shall include (through incorporation of provisions hereof or by reference in the Option Agreement or otherwise) the substance of each of the following provisions:

(a) Term. Each Option shall cease to be exercisable ten (10) years after the date on which it is granted.

(b) Exercise Price. The per share exercise price for the Shares to be issued pursuant to exercise of an Option shall be 100% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant.

(c) Vesting. Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator or unless the exercise date of an Option is accelerated pursuant to Section 14 hereof, the following provisions shall apply with respect to the exercise of Options:

(i)

during the first year after the date of grant, such Option shall not be exercisable; and

(ii)

upon the first anniversary of the date of grant, such Option may be exercised with respect to 25% of the shares of Common Stock initially covered thereby; and

(iii)

upon the second anniversary of the date of grant, such Option may be exercised with respect to 50%

A-6

of the shares of Common Stock initially covered thereby; and

(iv)

upon the third anniversary of the date of grant, such Option may be exercised with respect to 75% of the shares of Common Stock initially covered thereby; and

(v)

from and after the fourth anniversary of the date of grant and until the term of such Option expires or otherwise ends, such Option may be exercised with respect to 100% of the shares of Common Stock initially covered thereby.

(d) Exercise Period. Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator:

(i) subject to subsection (iii) below, in the event that an Optionee ceases to be a Director for any reason other than death or Disability, his or her Options, to the extent exercisable as of the date his or her services as a Director cease, shall remain exercisable for a period of ninety (90) days, but in no event longer than the term of the Option set forth in Section 9(a) above;

(ii) in the event that an Optionee ceases to be a Director due to death or Disability, his or her Options, to the extent exercisable as of the date his or her services as a Director cease, shall remain exercisable for a period of twelve (12) months, but in no event longer than the term of the Option set forth in Section 9(a) above.

(iii) in the event that an Optionee is removed as a Director for Cause, his or her Options, to the extent not exercised as of the date of the Optionee’s removal, shall be forfeited and shall not thereafter be exercisable.

A-7

10. Method of Exercise; Rights as a Shareholder.

(a) Procedure for Exercise. An Option shall be deemed exercised when the Company receives: (i) written or electronic notice of exercise (in accordance with the Option Agreement) from the person entitled to exercise the Option, and (ii) full payment for the Shares with respect to which the Option is exercised. Full payment may consist of any consideration and method of payment authorized by the Administrator and permitted by the Option Agreement and Section 10(b) of the Plan. Shares issued upon exercise of an Option shall be issued in the name of the Optionee. An Option may not be exercised for a fraction of a Share. Until the Shares are issued (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company), no right to vote or receive dividends or any other rights as a stockholder shall exist with respect to the Shares, notwithstanding the exercise of the Option. The Company shall issue (or cause to be issued) such Shares promptly after the Option is exercised. No adjustment will be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to the date the Shares are issued, except as provided in Section 13 of the Plan. Exercising an Option in any manner shall decrease the number of Shares thereafter available, both for purposes of the Plan and for sale under the Option, by the number of Shares as to which the Option is exercised.

(b) Form of Consideration. The Administrator shall determine the acceptable form of consideration for exercising an Option, including the method of payment. Such consideration may consist entirely of:

(i) cash;

(ii) check;

(iii) promissory note;

(iv) other Shares;

(v) consideration received by the Company under a cashless exercise program implemented by the Company in connection with the Plan;

(vii) any combination of the foregoing methods of payment; or

(vii) such other consideration and method of payment for the issuance of Shares to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws.

11. Non-Transferability of Options. Unless determined otherwise by the Administrator, an Option may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred, or disposed of in any manner other than by will or by the laws of

A-8

descent or distribution and may be exercised, during the lifetime of the Optionee, only by the Optionee. If the Administrator makes an Option transferable, such Option shall contain such additional terms and conditions as the Administrator deems appropriate.

12. Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization. Subject to any required action by the stockholders of the Company, the number of shares of Common Stock covered by each outstanding Option or Restricted Stock Award, and the number of shares of Common Stock which have been authorized for issuance under the Plan but as to which no Options or Restricted Stock Awards have yet been granted or which have been returned to the Plan upon cancellation or expiration of an Option, as well as the price per share of Common Stock covered by each such outstanding Option, shall be proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of Common Stock resulting from a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, combination or reclassification of the Common Stock, or any other increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of Common Stock effected without receipt of consideration by the Company; provided, however, that conversion of any convertible securities of the Company shall not be deemed to have been “effected without receipt of consideration.” Such adjustment shall be made by the Administrator, whose determination in that respect shall be final, binding and conclusive. Except as expressly provided herein, no issuance by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number or price of shares of Common Stock subject to an Option or Restricted Stock Award.

13. Corporate Transactions.

(a) Dissolution or Liquidation. In the event of the proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company, each Optionee shall have the right to exercise his or her Option until ten (10) days prior to such transaction as to all of the Shares covered thereby, including Shares as to which an applicable Option would not otherwise be exercisable. To the extent it has not been previously exercised, an Option will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed action.

(b) Merger or Asset Sale. In the event of a merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation or any other entity or the exchange of substantially all of the outstanding stock of the Company for shares of another entity or other property in which, after any such transaction the prior stockholders of the Company own less than fifty percent (50%) of the voting shares of the continuing or surviving entity, or in the event of the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, (any such event, a “Corporate Transaction”), then, absent a provision to the contrary in any particular Option Agreement, the Optionee shall fully vest in and have the right to exercise each

A-9

outstanding Option as to all of the Shares covered thereby, including Shares which would not otherwise be vested or exercisable. In the event that the Administrator determines that the successor corporation or a parent of the successor corporation refuses to assume or substitute an equivalent option, then the Administrator shall notify all Optionees that all outstanding Options shall be fully exercisable for a period of fifteen (15) days from the date of such notice and that any Options that are not exercised within such period shall terminate upon the expiration of such period. For the purposes of this paragraph, all outstanding Options shall be considered assumed if, following the consummation of the Corporate Transaction, the Option confers the right to purchase or receive, for each Share subject to the Option immediately prior to the consummation of the Corporate Transaction, the consideration (whether stock, cash, or other property) received in the Corporate Transaction by holders of Common Stock for each Share held on the effective date of the transaction (and if holders were offered a choice of consideration, the type chosen by the holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares); provided, however, that if such consideration received in the Corporate Transaction is not solely common stock of the successor corporation or its parent corporation, the Administrator may, with the consent of the successor corporation, provide for the consideration to be received upon the exercise of the Option, for each Share subject to the Option, to be solely common stock of the successor corporation or its parent corporation equal in fair market value to the per share consideration received by holders of Common Stock in the Corporate Transaction.

14. Grant Agreement. Each grant of an Option or Restricted Stock Award under the Plan will be evidenced by a document in such form as the Administrator may from time to time approve. Such document will contain such provisions as the Administrator may in its discretion deem advisable, including without limitation additional restrictions or conditions upon the exercise of an Option, provided that such provisions are not inconsistent with any of the provisions of the Plan.

15. Amendment and Termination of the Plan.

(a) Amendment and Termination. The Board may at any time amend, alter, suspend or terminate the Plan.

(b) Stockholder Approval. The Company shall obtain stockholder approval of any Plan amendment to the extent necessary to comply with Applicable Laws.

(c) Effect of Amendment or Termination. No amendment, alteration, suspension or termination of the Plan shall impair the rights of any Participant, unless mutually agreed otherwise between the Participant and the Administrator, which agreement must be in writing and signed by the Participant and the Company. Termination of the Plan shall not affect the Administrator’s ability to

A-10

exercise the powers granted to it hereunder with respect to Options or Restricted Shares granted under the Plan prior to the date of such termination.

16. Conditions Upon Issuance of Shares.

(a) Legal Compliance. Shares shall not be issued pursuant to a Restricted Stock Award or the exercise of an Option unless the exercise of such Option and the issuance and delivery of such Shares shall comply with Applicable Laws and shall be further subject to the approval of counsel for the Company with respect to such compliance.

(b) Investment Representations. As a condition to the exercise of an Option or the issuance of Restricted Shares, the Company may require the Participant to represent and warrant at the time of any such exercise or issuance that the Shares are being purchased or acquired, as the case may be, only for investment and without any present intention to sell or distribute such Shares if, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, such a representation is required. Not in limitation of any of the foregoing, in any such case referred to in the preceding sentence the Administrator may also require the Participant to execute and deliver documents containing such representations (including the investment representations described in this Section 16(b)), warranties and agreements as the Administrator or counsel to the Company shall deem necessary or advisable to comply with any exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, any applicable State securities laws, and any other applicable law, regulation or rule.

(c) Additional Conditions. The Administrator shall have the authority to condition the grant of any Option, the issuance of Shares pursuant to the exercise of an Option, or the grant of any Restricted Shares, in such other manner that the Administrator determines to be appropriate, provided that such condition is not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan.

17. Inability to Obtain Authority. The inability of the Company to obtain authority from any regulatory body having jurisdiction, which authority is deemed by the Company’s counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any Shares hereunder, shall relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to issue or sell such Shares as to which such requisite authority shall not have been obtained.

18. Reservation of Shares. The Company, during the term of this Plan, will at all times reserve and keep available such number of Shares as shall be sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the Plan.

19. Stockholder Approval. The Plan shall be subject to approval by the stockholders of the Company. Such stockholder approval shall be obtained in the manner and to the degree required under Applicable Laws.

A-11

20. Withholding; Notice of Sale. Each Participant shall, no later than the date as of which the value of an Option or Restricted Stock Award or of any Shares or other amounts received thereunder first becomes includable in the gross income of the Participant for Federal income tax purposes, pay to the Company, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Administrator regarding payment of, any Federal, state, or local taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with respect to such income. The Company shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct any such taxes from any payment of any kind otherwise due to the Participant. The Company’s obligation to deliver stock certificates to any Participant is subject to and conditioned on any such tax obligations being satisfied by the Participant. Subject to approval by the Administrator, a Participant may elect to have the minimum required tax withholding obligation satisfied, in whole or in part, by (i) authorizing the Company to withhold from Shares to be issued pursuant to any Option or Restricted Stock Award a number of Shares with an aggregate Fair Market Value (as of the date the withholding is effected) that would satisfy the withholding amount due, or (ii) transferring to the Company Shares owned by the Participant with an aggregate Fair Market Value (as of the date the withholding is effected) that would satisfy the minimum withholding amount due.

21. Governing Law. This Plan shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware.
