Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), requires our executive officers and directors, and any person or entity who own more than 10% of a registered class of our Common Stock or other equity securities, to file with the SEC certain reports of ownership and changes in ownership of our securities. Executive officers, directors and stockholders who hold more than 10% of our outstanding Common Stock are required by the SEC to furnish us with copies of all required forms filed under Section 16(a). We typically assist our executive officers and directors in the preparation of their Section 16(a) forms (except for Messrs. Connolly and Schwartz who prepare their own filings), based on the information provided by them. Based solely on review of this information, we believe that, during 2011, no reporting person failed to file the forms required by Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act on a timely basis.

Code of Ethics

We have adopted a written Code of Ethics (the “Code of Ethics”) that applies to our Chief Executive Officer and senior financial officers and a written Code of Conduct (the “Code of Conduct”) that applies to all our directors, officers and employees.

Copies of the Code of Ethics and the Code of Conduct are available on our web site at www.edgar-online.com and print copies are available to any stockholder that requests a copy. Any amendment to the Code of Ethics or the Code of Conduct or any waiver of the Code of Ethics or the Code of Conduct will be disclosed on our web site promptly following the date of such amendment or waiver.

Audit Committee

The Audit Committee reviews, acts on and reports to the Board of Directors with respect to various auditing and accounting matters, including selecting the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, the scope of the annual audits, fees to be paid to the accountants, the performance of the independent registered public accounting firm and the Company’s accounting practices. The members of the Audit Committee currently are Messrs. Herr, Berkeley, and Copperman, each of whom is a non-employee director and, as required by Nasdaq, qualifies as “independent.” The Audit Committee also includes at least one independent member who is determined by the Board to meet the qualifications of an “audit committee financial expert” in accordance with U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules, including that the person meets the relevant definition of an “independent director.”

Mr. Herr, the Chairman of the Audit Committee, is the independent director who has been determined by our Board of Directors to be an audit committee financial expert. Stockholders should understand that this designation is a disclosure requirement of the SEC related to Mr. Herr’s experience and understanding with respect to certain accounting and auditing matters. The designation does not impose upon Mr. Herr any duties, obligations or liability that are greater than are generally imposed on him as a member of the Audit Committee and the Board of Directors, and his designation as an audit committee financial expert pursuant to this SEC requirement does not affect the duties, obligations or liability of any other member of the Audit Committee or the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors has also determined that each Audit Committee member has sufficient knowledge in reading and understanding the Company’s financial statements to serve on the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee held four meetings during 2011. On March 23, 2004, the Board of Directors adopted an Amended and Restated Audit Committee Charter, a copy of which is available on our website at www.edgar-online.com.

Employment Agreements and Arrangements; Potential Payments upon Termination or Change of Control

The following is a summary of the terms of each of our Named Executive Officer’s employment agreements. Where applicable, the tables below reflect the amount of compensation payable to each of the Named Executive Officers in the event of termination of such executive’s employment. The amount of compensation payable to each Named Executive Officer upon termination for “cause,” termination in the event of death or disability, involuntary not-for-cause termination, termination for “good reason,” and termination following a “change of control” is shown below.

Robert J. Farrell

On March 1, 2011 we entered into an Employment Agreement with Robert J. Farrell to serve as our President and Chief Executive Officer and as a member of our Board of Directors. On March 28, 2011, the day Mr. Farrell commenced his service with the Company, we entered into a Restricted Stock Grant Agreement with him pursuant to which he received 3,448,310 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock as an inducement grant under the NASDAQ rules and not under the Company’s 2005 Stock Award and Incentive Plan, as amended. The restricted shares vest in equal installments on the first three anniversaries of such date.

Mr. Farrell’s Employment Agreement provides that if the Company terminates him for cause he will only be entitled to his earned but unpaid accrued salary and benefits. “Cause” under Mr. Farrell’s Employment Agreement means: (a) Mr. Farrell’s willful and continued failure to substantially perform his duties as specified by the Board (other than any such failure resulting from his disability) that has not been cured within 30 days after a written demand for substantial performance is delivered to Mr. Farrell by the Board, which demand specifically identifies the manner in which the Board believes that Mr. Farrell has not substantially performed his duties; (b) the conviction of, or plea of guilty or nolo contendere, to a felony or other crime involving moral turpitude; (c) Mr. Farrell willfully engages in conduct that is materially injurious to the Company; (d) the Board determines that Mr. Farrell has engaged in any conduct constituting fraud, embezzlement, or misappropriation of funds; (e) Mr. Farrell violates any reasonable rules, regulations, or policies of the Company that has a material adverse effect on the Company; or (f) Mr. Farrell breaches any restrictive covenants set forth in Sections 6 and 7 of the Employment Agreement.

Mr. Farrell’s compensation pursuant to the Employment Agreement includes an annual base salary of at least $325,000 and an annual bonus opportunity up to $325,000 based on annual performance objectives based on the financial performance of the Company. Mr. Farrell also received 3,448,310 restricted shares pursuant to the Restricted Stock Grant Agreement referenced above. Mr. Farrell will be eligible to receive three future grants of 229,887 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock within 90 days after December 31st of 2011, 2012 and 2013 (each, an “SOP Grant”) based on overall corporate performance and individual performance, and in accordance with the terms of the Company’s 2005 Stock Award and Incentive Plan, as amended.

Mr. Farrell’s employment continues until terminated and contains customary termination provisions for disability, death and cause as described above. In addition, the Company may terminate Mr. Farrell’s employment without Cause and Mr. Farrell may resign his employment for Good Reason. In the case of a termination without Cause or a resignation for Good Reason, Mr. Farrell will be entitled to receive severance pay consisting of (i) six (6) months of his base salary in effect immediately prior to such termination if such termination occurs before the third anniversary of the commencement date of employment; or (ii) twelve (12) months of his base salary in effect immediately prior to such termination if such termination occurs on or after the third anniversary of the commencement date of employment. He will also receive reimbursement for his COBRA payments for a certain time period following termination, and fifty percent (50%) of all unvested awards of restricted stock granted to Mr. Farrell by the Company that would have vested under their predefined schedule during the 12 months immediately following the date of termination of employment will immediately vest on such date of termination.

Table of Contents

Mr. Farrell is entitled to terminate the Agreement for “good reason” in the event (i) he is assigned any duties or responsibilities inconsistent with the duties or responsibilities ordinarily incident to the office of a chief executive officer of a similarly situated company, (ii) he is required to report to a corporate officer or employee instead of reporting directly to the Board, (iii) he is not appointed or elected as a member of the Board or, following such election or appointment, he is no longer a member of the Board for any reason, (iv) either his annual base salary or annual bonus opportunity is reduced, or (v) the occurrence of any other action or inaction that constitutes a material breach by the Company of this Agreement without Mr. Farrell’s express written consent, unless such action is corrected by the Company within 30 days following written notification by Mr. Farrell to the Company of such occurrence.

In the event of a Change of Control of the Company, fifty percent (50%) of Mr. Farrell’s unvested shares of restricted stock granted to him by the Company shall immediately vest. In addition, Mr. Farrell shall also receive the SOP Grant due to him (if any) for the fiscal year in which the Change of Control occurs, and such grant shall consist of immediately vested shares upon issuance. If Mr. Farrell is terminated pursuant to a Change of Control or he resigns for Good Reason relating thereto, all unvested shares of restricted stock granted to him by the Company as of the date of Change of Control shall immediately vest. In addition, Mr. Farrell shall receive a payment consisting of (i) six (6) months of his base salary in effect immediately prior to such termination if such termination occurs before the third anniversary of the Commencement Date; or (ii) twelve (12) months of his base salary in effect immediately prior to such termination if such termination occurs on or after the third anniversary of the Commencement Date. Mr. Farrell will also receive reimbursement for his COBRA payments for a certain time period following termination.

For purposes of Mr. Farrell’s Agreement, “Change of Control” shall be deemed to occur if and when

 

  (i) any person, including a “person” as such term is used in Section 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act (a “Person”), is or becomes a beneficial owner (as such term is defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing fifty percent (50%) or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities;

 

  (ii) any plan or proposal for the dissolution or liquidation of the Company is adopted by the stockholders of the Company;

 

  (iii) individuals who, as of June 24, 2005, constitute the Board (the “Incumbent Board”) cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board; provided, however, that any individual becoming a director subsequent to June 24, 2005 whose election, or nomination for election by the Company’s stockholders, was approved by a vote of at least a majority of the directors then comprising the Incumbent Board shall be considered as though such individual were a member of the Incumbent Board, but excluding, for this purpose, any such individual whose initial assumption of office occurs as a result of either an actual or threatened election contest or solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of a Person other than the Board;

 

  (iv) all or substantially all of the assets of the Company are sold, transferred or distributed; or

 

  (v) there occurs a reorganization, merger, consolidation or other corporate transaction involving the Company (a “Transaction”), in each case, with respect to which the stockholders of the Company immediately prior to such Transaction do not, immediately after the Transaction, own more than 50 percent (50%) of the combined voting power of the Company or other corporation resulting from such Transaction in substantially the same respective proportions as such stockholders’ ownership of the voting power of the Company immediately before such Transaction.

David J. Price

On June 25, 2010 we entered into an Employment Agreement with David Price to serve as our Chief Financial Officer. On July 6, 2010, the day Mr. Price commenced his service with the Company, we entered into a Restricted Stock Grant Agreement with him pursuant to which he received 675,000 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock as an inducement grant under the NASDAQ rules and not under the Company’s 2005 Stock Award and Incentive Plan, as amended. The restricted shares vest in equal installments on the first three anniversaries of such date.

Mr. Price’s Employment Agreement provides that if the Company terminates him for cause he will only be entitled to his earned but unpaid accrued salary and benefits. “Cause” under Mr. Price’s Employment Agreement, means: (a) the failure by Mr. Price to meet performance objectives or perform material responsibilities set for his position by the Board and CEO, except to the extent Mr. Price becomes totally medically disabled and cannot substantially perform the essential functions of his duties, with or without reasonable accommodation (b) Mr. Price fails or refuses to carry out the reasonable and lawful directions of the Board concerning duties or actions consistent with his position; (c) Mr. Price engages in any conduct constituting fraud, embezzlement, misappropriation of funds or breach of fiduciary duty; (d) Mr. Price engages in any conduct resulting in substantial loss to the Company or substantial damage to the Company’s reputation; (e) Mr. Price materially violates any reasonable rules, regulations, policies, directions or restrictions of the Company regarding employee conduct; or (f) Mr. Price is grossly negligent in the performance of his duties.

Mr. Price’s compensation pursuant to the Employment Agreement includes an annual base salary of at least $250,000, a $125,000 bonus opportunity based on his annual performance in the first year of his employment, a one-time $40,000 signing bonus payable across six (6) months, and reimbursement of up to $60,000 in relocation expenses. Mr. Price also received 675,000 restricted shares pursuant to the Restricted Stock Grant Agreement referenced above.

Mr. Price’s employment continues until terminated and contains customary termination provisions for disability, death and cause as described above. In addition, the Company may terminate Mr. Price’s employment without Cause and Mr. Price may resign his employment for Good Reason. In the case of a termination without Cause or a resignation for Good Reason, Mr. Price will be entitled to receive six (6) months base salary as severance pay, a prorated share of his bonus during such period and the continued vesting of all stock options and restricted stock awards that are not performance based according to their predefined schedule (in an amount equivalent to six (6) months of monthly vesting) over the six (6) month period following the date of such termination which will then remain exercisable for the remainder of the term of such stock option.

Mr. Price is entitled to terminate the Agreement for “good reason” in the event of the relocation of the Company’s place of business at which Mr. Price is principally located to a location that is greater than 90 miles commuting distance after Mr. Price establishes his relocation residency or there is a significant reduction in Mr. Price’s duties, responsibilities, or position.

In the event of a Change of Control of the Company, Mr. Price’s stock options and other stock awards immediately vest and remain exercisable for the remainder of the original term of each stock option. In addition, in the event of a Change of Control of the Company in connection with which Mr. Price’s employment is terminated without Cause or he resigns for Good Reason, Mr. Price shall receive six (6) months base salary.

For purposes of Mr. Price’s Agreement, “Change of Control” means: (a) the acquisition of 50% or more of the Company’s outstanding common stock or the Company’s voting securities; (b) the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, other than to a subsidiary of the Company, which is approved by the Company’s stockholders; or (c) the reorganization, merger or consolidation of the Company into another entity, which is approved by the Company’s stockholders.

The following chart details the severance benefits that would be received by Mr. Price according to his contract if the severance event occurred on December 31, 2011.

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

The Company uses a combination of cash and stock-based incentive compensation to attract and retain qualified candidates to serve on the Board of Directors. In setting director compensation, the Company considers the significant amount of time that directors expend in fulfilling their duties to the Company, as well as the skill-level required by the Company of members of the Board of Directors.

Cash Compensation Paid to Board Members

In 2011 the Board amended its Board compensation package, with such changes implemented following the Company’s last annual meeting in August 2011. As amended, the package consisted of the following elements: upon their election to the Board, each non-employee director is to receive options to purchase 75, 000 shares of the the Company’s common stock and an option to acquire 25,000 shares of common stock annually. Other changes included increasing the annual cash retainer for directors who are not employees of the Company to $20,000; setting the Chairman of the Board’s additional retainer at $7,500 per annum; setting the Lead Independent Director’s additional retainer at $5,000 per annum; and setting the additional retainer for the Chairman of the Audit Committee and the Chairman of the Compensation Committee at $5,000 and $3,000, respectively, per annum.

The Board recently amended its Board compensation package again, with such changes implemented effective March 1, 2012. As amended, the package consists of granting non-employee directors an annual restricted stock grant of 25,000, subject to vesting in equal quarterly installments over a one-year period. Other changes included increasing the annual cash retainer for directors who are not employees of the Company to $26,000; setting the Chairman of the Board’s additional retainer at $10,500 per annum; setting the Lead Independent Director’s additional retainer at $5,000 per annum; and setting the additional retainer for the Chairs of the Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and Nominating Committee at $10,000, $8,000, and $6,000 respectively, per annum. Cash compensation is paid to members of the Board on a quarterly basis, though each director has the right, but not the requirement, to elect to receive shares of Company common stock in lieu of their cash compensation. Directors who are employees of the Company receive no compensation for their service as directors.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE.

Related Persons Transactions Policy

The Board of Directors is charged with approving transactions involving our directors, executive officers or any nominees for director and any stockholder holding more than 5% of our Common Stock and their immediate family members. There were no such transactions during our last fiscal year. The types of transactions covered by this policy are transactions, arrangements or relationships or any series of similar transactions, arrangements or relationships (including any indebtedness or guarantee of indebtedness) in which (1) we (including any of our subsidiaries) were, or will be a participant, (2) the aggregate amount involved exceeds $120,000 in any calendar year, and (3) any related person had, has or will have a direct or indirect interest (other than solely as a result of being a director or holding less than a 10 percent beneficial ownership interest in another entity), and which is required by the rules and regulations of the SEC to be disclosed in our public filings. The Board of Directors will only approve transactions with related persons when the Board of Directors determines such transactions are in our best interests or the best interests of our stockholders. In determining whether to approve or ratify a related person transaction, the Board of Directors will apply the following standards and such other standards it deems appropriate:

 

   

whether the related person transaction is on terms no less favorable than terms generally available to an unaffiliated third-party under the same or similar circumstances;

 

   

whether the transaction is material to us or the related person;

 

   

the role the related person has played in arranging the related person transaction;

 

   

the structure of the related person transaction;

 

   

the extent of the related person’s interest in the transaction; and

 

   

whether there are alternative sources for the subject matter of the transaction.

Independence of the Board of Directors

Our Board of Directors has concluded that a majority of our Board of Directors, specifically Messrs. Berkeley, Connolly, Copperman, Herr, Maged, Schuler and Schwartz, qualify as “independent” within the meaning of the director independence standards of The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. (“Nasdaq”). In reaching its conclusions regarding Messrs. Connolly, Schuler and Schwartz, the Board did consider the fact that Messrs. Connolly and Schwartz were elected in accordance with the rights of the holders of our Series B Preferred Stock (currently Bain Capital Ventures) to cause two directors to be elected to the Board of Directors, and that Mr. Schuler was elected in accordance with the rights of the holders of our Series C Preferred Stock (currently Draper Fisher Jurvetson) to cause one director to be elected to the Board of Directors. Messrs. Schwartz and Connolly are principals of Bain Capital Ventures as discussed above and Mr. Schuler is the Managing Member of The Meteor Group, LLC.
