Benefit Plans

The following descriptions summarize our employee benefits plans pursuant to which the Named Officers receive benefits. Our 2005 Equity Incentive Plan, referred to as the “2005 Equity Plan,” which was adopted by our stockholders at the 2005 annual meeting of stockholders, replaced our 1996 Equity Incentive Plan (described below), referred to as the “1996 Plan.”

Table of Contents

2005 Equity Incentive Plan

Our 2005 Equity Plan is intended to provide a means to secure and retain the services of our employees (including officers) and non-employee directors eligible to receive stock awards, to provide incentives for such individuals to exert maximum efforts for the success of us and our affiliates, and to provide a means by which such eligible individuals may be given an opportunity to benefit from increases in the value of our Common Stock through the grant of stock awards.

To achieve these purposes, the 2005 Equity Plan permits grants of incentive stock options, nonstatutory stock options, stock appreciation rights, stock purchase awards, stock bonus awards, stock unit awards, and other forms of equity compensation. The maximum total number of shares for which awards can be granted under the 2005 Equity Plan is 2,001,219 shares of Common Stock, subject to appropriate adjustment in a manner determined by the Board of Directors to reflect changes in our capitalization. In addition, such share reserve shall be increased from time to time by a number of shares equal to the number of shares of Common Stock that (i) are issuable pursuant to options or stock award agreements outstanding under the 1996 Plan as of the date the 2005 Equity Plan was approved by stockholders and (ii) but for the termination of the 1996 Plan, would otherwise have reverted to the share reserve of the 1996 Plan pursuant to the terms of the 1996 Plan.

The 2005 Equity Plan is administered by our Board of Directors. The Board of Directors has the authority to construe and interpret the plan, to determine the persons to whom and the dates on which stock awards will be granted, the number of shares of common stock to be subject to each stock award, the time or times during the term of each stock award within which all or a portion of the award may be exercised, the exercise, purchase, or strike price of each stock award, the type of consideration permitted to exercise or purchase each stock award, and other terms of the stock awards. The Board of Directors may delegate its authority under the 2005 Equity Plan to a committee of the board. The Board of Directors has delegated its authority to the Compensation Committee and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.

The Board of Directors may suspend or terminate the 2005 Equity Plan without stockholder approval or ratification at any time. The Board of Directors may amend or modify the 2005 Equity Plan at any time. However, no amendment shall be effective unless approved by our stockholders to the extent stockholder approval is necessary to satisfy applicable law. The Board of Directors also may submit any other amendment to the 2005 Equity Plan intended to satisfy the requirements of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended regarding the exclusion of performance-based compensation from the limitation on the deductibility of compensation paid to certain employees. Under the 2005 Equity Plan, the Board of Directors may, without obtaining the prior approval of our stockholders, (i) reduce the exercise price of any outstanding option under the 2005 Equity Plan; (ii) cancel or accept any outstanding option under the 2005 Equity Plan and grant in substitution or exchange therefor a new option or other stock award under the 2005 Equity Plan or another of our equity plans covering the same or a different number of shares of common stock; (iii) cancel or accept any outstanding option under the 2005 Equity Plan and grant in substitution or exchange therefor cash or any other valuable consideration; or (iv) conduct any other action that is treated as a repricing under generally accepted accounting principles.

As of December 31, 2005, 233,518 restricted stock units, 0 shares of unvested restricted stock and options to purchase 5,809,129 shares of Common Stock were outstanding under the 2005 Equity Plan. Additionally, as of December 31, 2005, the total number of additional shares for which awards could be granted under the 2005 Equity Plan was 1,821,055 shares of Common Stock.

1996 Equity Incentive Plan

Our 1996 Plan is intended to promote the long-term retention of our key employees and other persons who are in a position to make significant contributions to our success, further reward these employees and other persons for their contributions to our growth and expansion, provide additional incentive to these employees and other persons to continue making similar contributions and to further align the interests of these employees and other persons with those of our stockholders.

To achieve these purposes, the 1996 Plan permitted grants of incentive stock options, options not intended to qualify as incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted and unrestricted stock awards, deferred stock awards, performance awards, loans and supplemental awards. The maximum total number of shares for which awards could have been granted under the 1996 Plan was 9,500,000 shares of Common Stock, subject to appropriate adjustment in a manner determined by the Board of Directors to reflect changes in our capitalization.

The 1996 Plan is administered by our Board of Directors, which determines, among other things and subject to certain conditions, the persons eligible to receive awards, the persons who actually receive awards, the type of each award, the number of shares of Common Stock subject to each award, the date of grant, exercise schedule, vesting schedule and other terms and conditions of each award, whether to accelerate the exercise or vesting schedule or waive any other terms or conditions of each award, whether to reduce the exercise price of an option after the date of grant, whether to amend or cancel an award and the form of any instrument used under the 1996 Plan. The Board of Directors has the right to adopt rules for the administration of the 1996 Plan, settle all controversies regarding the 1996 Plan or any award, and construe and correct defects and omissions in the 1996 Plan or any award. The 1996 Plan may be amended, suspended or terminated by the Board of Directors, subject to certain conditions, provided that stockholder approval will be required whenever necessary for the 1996 Plan to continue to satisfy the requirements of certain securities and tax laws, rules and regulations. The Board of Directors may delegate its authority under the 1996 Plan to a committee of the board. The Board of Directors has delegated its authority to the Compensation Committee and the Nominating and Corporate Governance.

As of December 31, 2005, 86,107 restricted stock units, 18,350 shares of unvested restricted stock and options to purchase 188,250 shares of Common Stock were outstanding under the 1996 Plan. No additional awards may be granted under the 1996 Plan.

2006 Leadership Bonus Plan

On March 7, 2006, our Compensation Committee approved the 2006 leadership bonus plan, which is not set forth in a written agreement, for certain management-level employees, including the Named Officers. Under the 2006 leadership bonus plan, if we achieve an EBITDA target approved by the Compensation Committee, we will establish a fixed bonus pool to be paid out to eligible participants in cash. Each eligible participant’s bonus will be funded from this fixed pool and will be based upon a percentage of that participant’s base salary.

The 2006 leadership bonus plan sets an annual target bonus amount for each level of eligible employee based on our achieving EBITDA targets approved by the Compensation Committee. The bonus amount for senior management, including the Named Officers, is equal to 50% of the individual’s base salary. If we achieve the minimum EBITDA targets approved by the Compensation Committee, each eligible participant will receive a bonus equal to one-half of that individual’s target bonus amount. If we exceed the upper-end of the EBITDA targets approved by the Compensation Committee, each eligible participant will have the opportunity to receive

the other half of that individual’s target bonus amount. In addition, the bonus amount actually received by a participant is subject to upward and downward adjustment based on that individual’s performance.

2005 Leadership Bonus Plan

On January 24, 2005, our Compensation Committee approved the 2005 leadership bonus plan, which was not set forth in a written agreement, for certain management-level employees. Under the 2005 leadership bonus plan, if we achieved certain EBITDA targets approved by the Compensation Committee, we would establish a fixed bonus pool to be paid out to eligible participants. Each eligible participant’s bonus would have been funded from this fixed pool and would have been based upon a percentage of that participant’s base salary.

The 2005 leadership bonus plan set the annual incentive bonus targets for each level of eligible employee. The target bonus for senior management was equal to up to 50% of each individual’s base salary. If we achieved certain EBITDA targets, each eligible participant would have received 75% of that individual’s target bonus amount, with the remaining 25% subject to upward or downward adjustment based upon individual performance. Under the 2005 leadership bonus plan, one-third of the aggregate amount of bonus paid to each participant was to be paid in cash and two-thirds was to be paid in restricted stock or deferred stock. Each restricted stock award or deferred stock award paid under the 2005 leadership plan would have been 50% vested when issued, with the remaining 50% vesting on the first anniversary of the issue date. None of our executive officers received bonus compensation under the 2005 leadership bonus plan in 2005 because we did not meet the EBITDA targets approved by the Compensation Committee.

Compensation of Directors

The compensation payable to each of our directors for services provided as a director during the period beginning after our 2005 annual meeting of stockholders through our 2006 annual meeting of stockholders was as follows:

 

    each non-employee director received an option to purchase 25,000 shares of our Common Stock upon his initial election as a director;

 

    each non-employee director who was nominated for his continuing election as a director received an option to purchase 10,000 shares of our Common Stock;

 

    the director elected as Chairman of the Audit Committee received an additional option to purchase 5,000 shares of our Common Stock; and

 

    the director elected as Chairman of the Compensation Committee and the director elected as Chairman of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee each received an additional option to purchase 3,000 shares of our Common Stock.

In accordance with our compensation policy for directors, on June 6, 2005, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee granted options to purchase 8,500 shares of our Common Stock to each of Messrs. Fisher, Menell and Perlis and Dr. Rayport and an option to purchase 21,000 shares of our Common Stock to Mr. Branman, in each case, at an exercise price of $15.34 per share, the fair market value on the date of grant. These directors received only part of their grants because there were not enough shares available under the 1996 Plan to make the full grants. Following the approval of the 2005 Equity Plan at the 2005 annual meeting of stockholders, on June 30, 2005 the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee granted:

 

    each of Messrs. Fisher, Menell and Perlis and Dr. Rayport an option to purchase 1,500 shares of our Common Stock, in each case, at an exercise price of $16.75 per share, the fair market value on the date of grant;

 

    Mr. Branman an option to purchase 4,000 shares of our Common Stock, at an exercise price of $16.75 per share, the fair market value on the date of grant;

 

    Mr. Ronning an option to purchase 25,000 shares of our Common Stock, at an exercise price of $16.75 per share, the fair market value on the date of grant; and

 

    the Chairman of each of the Audit Committee (Mr. Menell), Compensation Committee (Mr. Perlis) and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee (Dr. Rayport) an option to purchase 5,000, 3,000 and 3,000 shares of our Common Stock, respectively, in each case, at an exercise price of $16.75 per share, the fair market value on the date of grant.

For purposes of determining the compensation payable to directors for the period beginning after our 2005 annual meeting of stockholders through our 2006 annual meeting of stockholders, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee determined to treat Mr. Branman as if his election at the 2005 annual meeting of stockholders was his initial election to our Board, because as of March 2005, he ceased being QK Holdings’ designee to the Board and ceased being affiliated with QK Holdings and was required to turn over to QK Holdings the financial benefit of the director compensation paid while serving as QK Holdings’ designee.

In connection with Mr. Hunter’s appointment to the Board, on November 4, 2005, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee granted Mr. Hunter an option to purchase 25,000 shares of our Common Stock, at an exercise price of $15.01 per share, the fair market value on the date of grant.

As of December 20, 2005, we entered into an agreement with Interactive Commerce Partners LLC, for certain financial advisory services in connection with our evaluation of two proposed transactions: a proposed acquisition and a proposed strategic relationship. M. Jeffrey Branman, one of our directors, is President and owner of ICP. See “Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions.”

The directors do not receive any cash compensation for their services on behalf of us but are reimbursed for reasonable travel and lodging expenses incurred in attending meetings of the Board of Directors and any committee. Mr. Rubin, the only director who is also an officer of us, does not receive any separate compensation for acting in his capacity as a director.

We are currently reviewing our director compensation and expect to adopt a new compensation policy for non-employee directors.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

During fiscal 2005, Messrs. Kenneth Adelberg (one of our former directors), Branman, Hunter, Menell, Perlis and Ronning all served on the Compensation Committee. None of these individuals is or has been an officer or employee of us.

No person who served as a member of the Compensation Committee during fiscal 2005 was our current or former officer or employee or, except as described below in “Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions,” engaged in certain transactions with us required to be disclosed by regulations of the SEC. There were no compensation committee “interlocks” during fiscal 2005, which generally means that none of our executive officers served as a director or member of the compensation committee of another entity, one of whose executive officers served as a director or member of our Compensation Committee.

The 2005 Equity Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options, nonstatutory stock options, stock appreciation rights, stock purchase awards, stock bonus awards, stock unit awards, and other forms of equity compensation. We issued restricted stock units under these Plans. These restricted stock units generally expire 10 years from the date of grant and vest over four years, although some restricted stock units vest in less than four years. Upon the occurrence of a change in control, certain of these restricted stock units will immediately become exercisable in full. The weighted average exercise price in the table above does not take these restricted stock units into account.
(2) Included are (a) stock options at less than the then-fair market value of our Common Stock to attract new key employees, to retain key employees of acquired companies and to retain existing employees in connection with restructured compensation packages, and (b) warrants to purchase our Common Stock to consultants, advisors, partners and investors. The Board of Directors approved these grants in fiscal 1999, fiscal 2000 and fiscal 2001, although some of these warrant grants relate to earlier periods. Except for these limited grants, grants are generally made by us under the 2005 Plan. These grants include options which generally expire 10 years from the date of grant and vests over four years. Upon the occurrence of a change in control, certain of these options will immediately become exercisable in full. These grants also include warrants which generally expire no less than five years and no more than 10 years from the date of grant. The exercise prices for these warrants range from $2.50 to $17.15.

All audit-related services, tax services and other services must be pre-approved by the Audit Committee. In accordance with our policy and applicable SEC rules and regulations, the Audit Committee pre-approves services provided to us by Deloitte & Touche LLP (“Auditor Services”).
