GENERAL
We develop, market and support a family of security software and appliances that address vital security issues facing organizations deploying business applications over the Internet or internally via Intranets. We currently provide e-security solutions including intrusion detection systems, security assessment systems, virtual private network appliances and firewall appliances.
We market and distribute our products through a direct sales force to end-users, distributors and by numerous domestic and international system integrators, service providers and value-added resellers. Our end-user customers include high-technology, manufacturing, telecommunications, retail, transportation, health care, insurance, entertainment, utilities and energy companies, government agencies, financial institutions, and academic institutions.
Our company was organized in Texas in September 1983 and reincorporated in Delaware in October 1995. For more than 15 years, we provided local area networking equipment and were known as Optical Data Systems or ODS Networks. On April 17, 2000, we announced plans to sell, or otherwise dispose of, our networking divisions which include our Essential Communications division and our local area networking assets. In accordance with these plans, we have accounted for these businesses as discontinued operations. On June 1, 2000, we changed our name from ODS Networks, Inc. to Intrusion.com, Inc. and our NASDAQ ticker symbol from ODSI to INTZ to reflect our focus on e-security solutions.
Our principal executive offices are located at 1101 E. Arapaho Road, Richardson, Texas 75081, and our telephone number is (972) 234-6400. References to "we", "us", "our" or "Intrusion.com" refer to Intrusion.com, Inc. and its subsidiaries.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
In January 2001, we announced an agreement to sell our discontinued IS (Infinite Switch) 6000 product line to Shanghai Video and Audio Electronics Co., Ltd. ("SVA"). Under the agreement, all existing IS 6000 inventory, design specifications, manufacturing documentation and equipment are to be acquired by SVA. Additionally, we will provide technical support to SVA for 12 months. Under the terms of the agreement, subject to appropriate government approval, we will receive $6 million in the first quarter of 2001.
In January 2001, we announced an agreement to establish a joint venture with SVA. The new venture, Shanghai SVA Intrusion.com Joint Venture, will manufacture, market, distribute and sell our
security products in China (PRC Mainland) under an exclusive multi-year licensing agreement. Subject to appropriate government approvals, the joint venture is expected to be established in the first quarter of 2001 and under terms of the Agreement, we will receive $4.75 million in the first half of 2001.
INDUSTRY BACKGROUND
In the last decade, network computing has evolved from local-area networks to global systems communicating through open Internet connections. The widespread adoption of open computing environments, such as the Internet, enables organizations to increase revenue and reduce costs with electronic business-to-business and business-to-consumer transactions, business process re-engineering and secure messaging for telecommuters and widely distributed workforces.
Although open computing environments such as the Internet have many business advantages, their openness and accessibility make these systems, and the integrity of the information that is stored on them, vulnerable to security threats. These systems can be breached by computer hackers, curious or disgruntled employees, contractors and competitors who may compromise or destroy sensitive information within the system or otherwise disrupt the normal operation of the system. In addition, open computing environments such as the Internet are complex and typically involve a variety of hardware, operating systems and applications provided by numerous vendors. Each addition or change to the hardware, operating system or application may introduce new vulnerabilities and security risks to the system.
Enterprises are therefore adopting a variety of security solutions to meet the challenge posed by malicious intruders, curious hackers and disgruntled employees. To be effective, an organization requires an enterprise-wide information risk management process that can be managed centrally and implemented on a distributed basis. Organizations seek a set of individual, best-of-breed solutions designed to work standalone and in concert with one another to provide an integrated view of their security status. These solutions often include:
- firewalls to control the flow of data between an internal network and outside networks or the Internet;
- virtual private network ("VPN") systems to protect information during transmission and provide authentication of users;
- security assessment systems to identify potential security risks by comparing security policy with actual system configuration;
- intrusion detection systems to monitor the packet traffic on network segments to identify and respond to security breaches; and
- a comprehensive reporting system to automate the analysis and correlation of data generated by multiple security applications.
As e-business and open computing environments continue to expand, security management will become an essential system on the network. We are poised to take advantage of this requirement for robust security technologies.
INTRUSION.COM SOLUTION AND PRODUCTS
Intrusion.com's approach to the challenges of information security is to develop, market and support a family of intrusion detection and security assessment software and firewall and VPN appliances for deployment by enterprises and use by security service providers. We seek to protect information assets from attack and misuse and to safeguard data integrity. Implementing adequate perimeter defense, monitoring network traffic, profiling user behavior and responding rapidly to network intrusions are critical elements for the protection of information integrity.
SECURITY SOFTWARE PRODUCTS
SECURENET PRO-TM-
Intrusion.com's SecureNet Pro, introduced in July 2000, is a sophisticated network intrusion detection system ("NIDS"). SecureNet Pro allows security administrators to automatically monitor high speed network traffic, detect and respond to suspicious activity, and respond to internal and external network abuse. The SecureNet Pro architecture enables the recognition and response to a large number of attack patterns on high-speed networks. Additionally, SecureNet Pro provides for complete packet analysis, resulting in fewer false positives, thereby increasing the efficiency and effectiveness of security personnel. When a SecureNet Pro sensor detects an attack or misuse, it transmits an alarm to the SecureNet Pro console for administrative review. In addition, SecureNet Pro can respond immediately to an attack or misuse by terminating a connection, sending e-mail or pager alerts, recording the session or taking other user-definable actions. Its easy-to-use interface, monitoring and reporting capabilities increase the effectiveness of security professionals and enable them to secure their networks efficiently.
SECURITYANALYST-TM-
Intrusion.com's SecurityAnalyst is a security assessment system that helps to address security risks through identification of security weaknesses and deviations from security policies for Microsoft and Novell servers and workstations. SecurityAnalyst identifies security weaknesses by comparing actual computer configurations with an organization's security policy as well as industry "best practices." SecurityAnalyst enables fast, easy-to-use security compliance audits and provides more than 60 comprehensive reports, ranging from executive-level security report cards to a detailed identification of security risks and corrective actions.
Maintaining an effective security policy requires ongoing verification that the written policies are being complied with. SecurityAnalyst gives a big-picture view that generates measurable data about security policy compliance while providing comprehensive reporting capabilities. SecurityAnalyst evaluates the security health of the network in six critical areas: password strength, access control, user account restrictions, system monitoring, data integrity and data confidentiality.
SECUREENTERPRISE-TM-
Intrusion.com's SecureEnterprise is a centralized security monitoring system. SecureEnterprise blends the data from a variety of disparate systems, infrastructure devices and applications in a multivendor environment to enable security administrators to assess security events across a network.
With the gigabytes of data generated by hundreds of agents and devices, getting value from the data produced by myriad security devices has become increasingly complex and burdensome for time-constrained security professionals. SecureEnterprise enables security administrators to see the macro view of security events within networks and systems. A centralized security analysis tool that delineates itself with statistical behavioral profiling, SecureEnterprise detects anomalies and user misuse by analyzing data from firewalls, intrusion detection systems, routers, and workstations. By integrating audit and event data from these various sources into a single, standardized data-set, SecureEnterprise increases staff efficiencies, enables deeper security system analysis, and makes daily evaluation and assessment reviews easier.
SECURITY APPLIANCES
SECURECOM-TM- PERIMETER DEFENSE SYSTEM (PDS) SERIES
Effective deployment of a security strategy involves installation, configuration, validation, and implementation of all systems. The optimal solution is a combined software/appliance solution that enables optimized performance, effectively leverages personnel and reduces the total cost of ownership to the enterprise.
As organizations expand their operations to include remote offices, regional divisions, branch locations and telecommuters, securing the enterprise becomes more complex. The need to deploy complete, cost-effective security solutions that enable centralized management is paramount. Intrusion.com offers integrated security software/appliance solutions that allow businesses to more easily secure their networks by enabling a variety of complementary security technologies.
The SecureCom PDS Series of security appliances are Linux-based platforms integrating pre-configured software to secure enterprise networks reliably and affordably. These innovative perimeter defense systems deliver security software solutions to the managed service provider, large enterprise, small business, or enterprise remote offices.
While many security platforms can be difficult or costly to manage, a PDS appliance delivers Web-based setup and administration with centralized policy management. The PDS Series enables the deployment of complementary technologies--firewall, VPN and network intrusion detection systems, and needs only a Web browser for easy, centralized administration.
- The SecureNet PDS integrates Intrusion.com's SecureNet Pro network intrusion detection software with the PDS 2300 for cost-effective installation that can extend across the network. Its easy-to-use interface increases administrative efficiencies.
- The PDS 2315 offers the full version of Check Point Software Technologies' VPN-1/FireWall-1 software. Designed for larger user environments, the PDS 2315 enables a variety of centralized security management options.
- The PDS 2110 features Check Point's VPN-1/FireWall-1 SmallOffice software for the 5-to-50 user environment, and it needs only a Web browser for easy, centralized administration.
SECURECOM 8000 SERIES
The SecureCom 8000 Series is a family of security platforms that includes both stand-alone gateways and intelligent modular chassis solutions. This multivendor security platform integrates routing, firewall software, intrusion detection systems, virtual private networking, LAN connectivity and other security application modules in a multiblade 19" rack-mountable appliance.
SECURECOM 6000 SERIES
The SecureCom 6000 Series is a field-deployable, fault-tolerant platform that integrates network and application servers, routing, firewall software, intrusion detection systems, virtual private networking and LAN connectivity into a single, compact unit. Utilized in numerous military operations, this flexible chassis-based system greatly reduces equipment complexity and is reliable in battlefield conditions.
THIRD-PARTY PRODUCTS
We believe that it is beneficial to work with third parties with complementary technologies to provide integrated solutions to our customers. As we also compete with these technology partners in
certain segments of the market, there can be no assurance that we will have access to all of the third-party products which may be desirable in order to offer fully integrated solutions to our customers.
CUSTOMER SERVICES
In addition to offering best-of-breed security products, we also offer a wide range of services, including design and configuration, project planning and management, training, security analysis and installation and maintenance.
PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT
The data security industry is characterized by rapidly changing technology, standards and customer demands. We believe that our future success depends in large part upon the timely enhancement of existing products as well as the development of technologically advanced new products which meet industry standards, perform successfully and achieve market acceptance. We are currently developing and marketing next-generation data security products. We are also investing in the development of products which comply with emerging industry standards and are continuously engaged in testing to ensure that our products interoperate with other manufacturers' products which comply with industry standards.
During 2000, 1999 and 1998, our research and development expenditures were $13.1 million, $8.2 million and $2.8 million, respectively. All of our expenditures for hardware and software research and development costs have been expensed as incurred. At December 31, 2000, we had 59 employees engaged in research and product development.
MANUFACTURING AND SUPPLIES
Our operational strategy relies on outsourcing of manufacturing of components, assembly and certain other operations to reduce fixed costs and to provide flexibility in meeting market demand.
Our internal manufacturing operations consist primarily of replication of software on CDs, packaging, final assembly, testing and quality control of subassemblies and finished units. Materials used in our manufacturing processes include semiconductors such as microprocessors, memory chips and application specific integrated circuits ("ASICs"), printed circuit boards, power supplies and enclosures.
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY AND LICENSES
Our success and our ability to compete is dependent, in part, upon our proprietary technology. While we have applied for certain patents, we do not hold any issued patents and currently rely on a combination of contractual rights, trade secrets and copyright laws to establish and protect our proprietary rights in our products. We have also entered into confidentiality agreements with our employees and enter into non-disclosure agreements with our suppliers, resellers and certain customers to limit access to and disclosure of proprietary information. There can be no assurance that the steps taken by us to protect our intellectual property will be adequate to prevent misappropriation of our technology or that our competitors will not independently develop technologies that are substantially equivalent or superior to our technology.
We have entered into several software and product license agreements. These license agreements provide us with additional software and hardware components that add value to our security products. These license agreements do not provide proprietary rights which are unique or exclusive to us and are generally available to other parties on the same or similar terms and conditions, subject to payment of applicable license fees and royalties.
On September 30, 1999, we entered a technology licensing agreement with RSA Security Inc. ("RSA") under which we are the exclusive licensee of RSA's Kane security products in North America and Europe. The Kane security products include SecurityAnalyst, a host-based security assessment tool. We are responsible for marketing, sales, support, maintenance and development for the Kane security software.
SALES, MARKETING AND CUSTOMERS
We market and distribute our products primarily through a direct sales force to end users supplemented by numerous domestic and international distributors, system integrators and value added resellers. At December 31, 2000, our sales and marketing organization consisted of 131 individuals, including managers, sales representatives, marketing personnel and technical support personnel.
FIELD SALES FORCE. Our direct sales organization focuses on major account sales, promotes our products to current and potential customers, and monitors evolving customer requirements. Our channel sales force promotes our products to distributors, system integrators and value added resellers. The field sales and technical support force provides training and technical support to our resellers and end users and assists our customers to design secure data networking solutions.
We currently conduct sales and marketing efforts from our principal office in Richardson (Dallas), Texas; through domestic field offices located in the following metropolitan areas: Anaheim, Atlanta, Boston, Denver, San Diego, Vancouver and Vienna (Washington, D.C.); and through foreign sales offices located in the following countries: Canada, England, France, Germany, Japan, Malaysia, New Zealand and South Korea.
DISTRIBUTORS. We have signed distribution agreements with distributors in the United States, Europe and Asia. In general, these relationships are non-exclusive. Distributors typically maintain an inventory of our products. Under these agreements, we provide certain protection to the distributors for their inventory of our products for price reductions as well as products that are slow-moving or have been discontinued. Recognition of sales to distributors and related gross profits are deferred until the merchandise is resold by the distributors.
RESELLERS. Domestic and international system integrators and value added resellers (collectively, "resellers") sell our products as stand-alone solutions to end users and integrate our products with products sold by other vendors into data security systems that are sold to end users. Our field sales force and technical support organization provide support to these resellers. Our agreements with resellers are non-exclusive, and our resellers generally sell other products which may compete with our products. Resellers may place higher priority on products of other suppliers who are larger than and have more name recognition than Intrusion.com, and there can be no assurance that resellers will continue to sell and support our products.
FOREIGN SALES. We believe that rapidly evolving international markets are important sources of future net sales. Our export sales are currently being made through a direct sales force supplemented by international resellers in Europe, Asia, Latin America and Canada. Export sales accounted for approximately 19.2%, 14.0% and 25.3% of net sales in 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" included in this report for a geographic breakdown of our product revenue in 2000, 1999 and 1998. Sales to foreign customers and resellers generally have been made in United States dollars.
MARKETING. We have implemented several methods to market our products, including regular participation in trade shows and seminars, advertisement in trade journals, telemarketing, distribution of sales literature and product specifications and ongoing communication with our resellers and installed base of end-user customers.
CUSTOMERS. Our end-user customers include manufacturing, high-technology, telecommunications, retail, transportation, health care, insurance, entertainment, utilities and energy companies, government agencies, financial institutions and academic institutions. Sales to certain customers and groups of customers can be impacted by seasonal capital expenditure approval cycles, and sales to customers within certain geographic regions can be subject to seasonal fluctuations in demand.
Although we sell our products to many customers, direct sales to seven such resellers and end-user customers, iGov.com, TRW Systems & Information Technology ("TRW"), AT&T Corp. ("AT&T"), Federal Data Corporation ("Federal Data"), NCR Corp. ("NCR"), Comstor, Inc. ("Comstor") and Concentric Network Corp. ("Concentric") have each accounted for 10% or more of our net sales in at least one of the past three fiscal years as indicated in the following schedule.
PERCENTAGE OF NET SALES ------------------------------------ CUSTOMER 2000 1999 1998 -------- -------- -------- -------- iGov.com.................................................... 14.2% 21.3% 4.0% TRW......................................................... 24.1 7.4 0.0 AT&T........................................................ 0.2 10.9 7.8 Federal Data................................................ 1.9 16.0 0.0 NCR......................................................... 0.3 0.8 17.3 Comstor..................................................... 0.0 12.1 0.0 Concentric.................................................. 0.1 0.0 11.9 |
A large portion of the products sold to iGov.com, TRW and Federal Data during the periods shown were integrated with other products or services and sold to U.S. government customers by those system integrators. No other customer accounted for 10% or more of our net sales in 2000, 1999 or 1998, respectively. The loss of any of these customers could have a material adverse effect on Intrusion.com and our operating results if not replaced.
Most of our business with U.S. government agencies is on a fixed-price basis. Government contracts customarily include provisions which provide for cancellation at the convenience of the government. In addition, upon cancellation by the government, we generally would be entitled to reimbursement of costs incurred, plus a pro rata share of profit. We have never received a cancellation of a material government contract and have no reason to anticipate any such cancellation. The products sold, characteristics and business risks associated with our sales to U.S. government agencies do not differ materially from those associated with sales of our products to commercial customers.
BACKLOG. We believe that only a small portion of our order backlog is noncancelable and that the dollar amount associated with the noncancelable portion is immaterial. We purchase our products based upon our forecast of customer demand and maintain inventories of sub-assemblies and finished products in advance of receiving firm orders from customers. Orders are generally fulfilled within two to eight weeks following receipt of an order. Due to the generally short cycle between order and shipment and occasional customer-initiated changes in delivery schedules or cancellation of orders which are made without significant penalty, we do not believe that our backlog as of any particular date is indicative of future net sales.
CUSTOMER SUPPORT, SERVICE AND WARRANTY. We service, repair and provide technical support for our products. The Intrusion.com field sales and technical support force work closely with resellers and end-user customers on-site and by telephone to assist with pre- and post-sales support services such as network security design, system installation and technical consulting. By working closely with our customers, Intrusion.com employees gain a thorough understanding of end-user requirements and provide input to the product development process.
We warrant all of our products against defects in materials and workmanship for periods ranging from 90 days to 12 months. Before and after expiration of the product warranty period, we offer both on-site and factory-based support, parts replacement and repair services. Extended warranty services are separately invoiced on a time and materials basis or under an annual maintenance contract.
COMPETITION
The market for data security solutions is intensely competitive and subject to frequent product introductions with improved price/performance characteristics. Industry suppliers compete in areas such as conformity to existing and emerging industry standards, interoperability with networking and other security products, management and security capabilities, performance, price, ease of use, scalability, reliability, flexibility, product features and technical support. We believe that our solutions-oriented approach (combining security network design services, Intrusion.com products and third-party products to provide superior, secure networking systems to customers) provides us with a competitive advantage with large organizations with complex security requirements.
There are numerous companies competing in various segments of the data security markets. Our principal competitors include Internet Security Systems, Inc. ("ISS"), Cisco Systems, Inc. ("Cisco"), Symantec Corp. ("Symantec"), Cabletron Systems, Inc. ("Cabletron"), Nokia Corporation ("Nokia"), Nortel Networks ("Nortel"), Network Associates, Inc. ("Network Assoc."), SonicWALL, Inc. ("SonicWALL") and WatchGuard Technologies, Inc. ("WatchGuard"). Several of our competitors have substantially greater financial, technical, sales and marketing resources, better name recognition and a larger customer base than we do. In addition, many of our competitors offer customers a broader product line which provides a more comprehensive networking and security solution than we currently offer. Even if we do introduce advanced products which meet evolving customer requirements in a timely manner, there can be no assurance that our new products will gain market acceptance.
Certain companies in the data security industry have expanded their product lines or technologies in recent years as a result of acquisitions. Further, more companies have developed products which conform to existing and emerging industry standards and have sought to compete on the basis of price. We anticipate increased competition from large networking equipment vendors which are expanding their capabilities in the data security market. For example in 2000, Symantec acquired Axent Technologies, Nokia acquired Ramp Networks, Inc. and Cabletron acquired Network Security Wizards. We anticipate increased competition from private "start-up" companies that have developed or are developing advanced security products. Increased competition in the security industry could result in significant price competition, reduced profit margins or loss of market share, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition. There can be no assurance that we will be able to compete successfully in the future with current or new competitors.
EMPLOYEES
As of December 31, 2000, we employed a total of 294 persons, including 131 in sales, marketing and technical support, 35 in manufacturing and operations, 59 in research and product development, 30 in administration and finance, and 39 in the our discontinued networking operations.
None of our employees are represented by a labor organization, and we are not a party to any collective bargaining agreement. We have not experienced any work stoppages and consider our relations with our employees to be good.
Competition in the recruiting of personnel in the networking and data security industry is intense. We believe that our future success will depend in part on our continued ability to hire, motivate and retain qualified management, sales and marketing, and technical personnel. To date, we have not experienced significant difficulties in attracting and retaining qualified employees.
FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
In addition to the other information in this Form 10-K, the following factors should be considered in evaluating Intrusion.com and our business.
TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGES. The market for our products is characterized by frequent product introductions, rapidly changing technology and continued evolution of new industry standards. The market for security products requires our products to be compatible and interoperable with products and architectures offered by various vendors, including other security products, networking products, workstation and personal computer architectures and computer and network operating systems. Our success will depend to a substantial degree upon our ability to develop and introduce in a timely manner new products and enhancements to our existing products that meet changing customer requirements and evolving industry standards. The development of technologically advanced products is a complex and uncertain process requiring high levels of innovation as well as the accurate anticipation of technological and market trends. There can be no assurance that we will be able to identify, develop, manufacture, market and support new or enhanced products successfully in a timely manner. Further, we or our competitors may introduce new products or product enhancements that shorten the life cycle of or obsolete our existing product lines, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.
MARKET ACCEPTANCE. We are pursuing a strategy to increase the percentage of our revenue generated through indirect sales channels including distributors, value added resellers, system integrators, original equipment manufacturers and managed service providers. There can be no assurance that our products will gain market acceptance in these indirect sales channels. Further, competition among security companies to sell products through these indirect sales channels could result in significant price competition and reduced profit margins.
We are also pursuing a strategy to further differentiate our product line by introducing complementary security products and incorporating new technologies into our existing product line. There can be no assurance that we will successfully introduce these products or that such products will gain market acceptance. We anticipate competition from networking companies, network security companies and others in each of our product lines. We anticipate that profit margins will vary among our product lines and that product mix fluctuations could have an adverse effect on our overall profit margins.
ACQUISITIONS. ISS, Cisco, Symantec, Cabletron, Nokia, Nortel and other competitors have recently acquired several security companies with complementary technologies, and we anticipate that such acquisitions will continue in the future. These acquisitions may permit such competitors to accelerate the development and commercialization of broader product lines and more comprehensive solutions than we currently offer. In the past, we have relied upon a combination of internal product development and partnerships with other security vendors to provide competitive solutions to customers. Certain of the recent and future acquisitions by our competitors may have the effect of limiting our access to commercially significant technologies. Further, the business combinations and acquisitions in the security industry are creating companies with larger market shares, customer bases, sales forces, product offerings and technology and marketing expertise. There can be no assurance that we will be able to compete successfully in such an environment.
In September 1998, we completed an acquisition of certain assets of the Computer Misuse and Detection System ("CMDS") Division from Science Applications International Corporation ("SAIC"), a privately held company in San Diego, California. On September 30, 1999, we entered a technology licensing agreement with RSA under which we are the exclusive licensee of RSA's Kane Security products in North America and Europe. On June 30, 2000, we acquired MimeStar, Inc. ("MimeStar"), a Virginia corporation. MimeStar developed an advanced, network based intrusion detection system
called SecureNet Pro-TM-. The stockholder of MimeStar received $3 million in cash with an additional $1 million in cash and 95,969 shares of our common stock (which was valued at approximately $1 million on the date of the merger) placed in escrow, payable to the stockholder of MimeStar within one year subject to indemnification and other conditions. We may, in the future, acquire or invest in additional companies, business units, product lines, or technologies to accelerate the development of products and sales channels complementary to our existing products and sales channels. Acquisitions involve numerous risks, including: difficulties in assimilation of operations, technologies, and products of the acquired companies; risks of entering markets in which we have no or limited direct prior experience and where competitors in such markets have stronger market positions; the potential loss of key employees of the acquired company; and the diversion of our attention from normal daily operation of our business. There can be no assurance that any other acquisition or investment will be consummated or that such acquisition or investment will be realized.
PRODUCT TRANSITIONS. Once current security products have been in the market place for a period of time and begin to be replaced by higher performance products (whether of our design or a competitor's design), we expect the net sales of such products to decrease. In order to achieve revenue growth in the future, we will be required to design, develop and successfully commercialize higher performance products in a timely manner. There can be no assurance that we will be able to introduce new products and gain market acceptance quickly enough to avoid adverse revenue transition patterns during current or future product transitions. Nor can there be any assurance that we will be able to respond effectively to technological changes or new product announcements by competitors, which could render portions of our inventory obsolete.
Our goal is to transition an increasing proportion of our revenue from hardware products (which accounted to 81% of our net sales in 2000) to our software products or solutions that include both our hardware and software products. Such a transition would improve our gross profit margins. Our ability to achieve our revenue and product mix objectives over the next several quarters will largely depend upon the extent to which these product lines are accepted in the security marketplace. There can be no assurance that we will improve our product mix, nor can we assure an improvement in gross profit margins.
MANUFACTURING AND SUPPLIERS. Our operational strategy relies on outsourcing of product assembly and certain other operations. There can be no assurance that we will effectively manage our third-party contractors or that these contractors will meet our future requirements for timely delivery of products of sufficient quality and quantity. Further, we intend to introduce a number of new products and product enhancements in 2001 which will require that we rapidly achieve volume production of those new products by coordinating our efforts with those of our suppliers and contractors. The inability of the third-party contractors to provide us with adequate supplies of high-quality products could cause a delay in our ability to fulfill orders and could have an adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.
All of the materials used in our products are purchased under contracts or purchase orders with third parties. While we believe that many of the materials used in the production of our products are generally readily available from a variety of sources, certain components such as microprocessors and mother boards are available from one or a limited number of suppliers. The lead times for delivery of components vary significantly and can exceed twelve weeks for certain components. If we should fail to forecast our requirements accurately for components, we may experience excess inventory or shortages of certain components which could have an adverse effect on our business and operating results. Further, any interruption in the supply of any of these components, or the inability to procure these components from alternative sources at acceptable prices within a reasonable time, could have an adverse effect on our business and operating results.
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY AND LICENSES. There are many patents held by companies which relate to the design and manufacture of data security systems. Potential claims of infringement could be asserted by the holders of those patents. We could incur substantial costs in defending ourself and our customers against any such claim regardless of the merits of such claims. In the event of a successful claim of infringement, we may be required to obtain one or more licenses from third parties. There can be no assurance that we could obtain the necessary licenses on reasonable terms.
THIRD-PARTY PRODUCTS. We believe that it is beneficial to work with third parties with complementary technologies to broaden the appeal of our security products. These alliances allow Intrusion.com to provide integrated solutions to our customers by combining Intrusion.com developed technology with third-party products. As we also compete with these technology partners in certain segments of the market, there can be no assurance that we will have access to all of the third-party products which may be desirable or necessary in order to offer fully integrated solutions to Intrusion.com customers.
DEPENDENCE ON KEY CUSTOMERS. A relatively small number of customers have accounted for a significant portion of our revenue. U.S. government agencies, large system integrators and managed service providers are expected to continue to account for a substantial portion of our net revenue. We continuously face competition from ISS, Cisco, Symantec, Cabletron, Nokia, Network Assoc., SonicWALL, WatchGuard and others for U.S. government security projects and corporate security installations. Any reduction or delay in sales of our products to these customers could have a material adverse effect on our operating results.
INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS. Our international operations may be affected by changes in demand resulting from fluctuations in currency exchange rates and local purchasing practices, including seasonal fluctuations in demand, as well as by risks such as increases in duty rates, difficulties in distribution, regulatory approvals and other constraints upon international trade. Our sales to foreign customers are subject to export regulations. In particular, certain sales of our data security products require clearance and export licenses from the U.S. Department of Commerce under these regulations. Any inability to obtain such clearances or any required foreign regulatory approvals on a timely basis could have a material adverse effect on our operating results.
IMPACT OF GOVERNMENT CUSTOMERS. A significant portion of our revenue is derived from sales to the U.S. government, either directly by Intrusion.com or through system integrators and other resellers. Sales to the government present risks in addition to those involved in sales to commercial customers, including potential disruptions due to appropriation and spending patterns and the government's reservation of the right to cancel contracts and purchase orders for its convenience.
GENERAL. Sales of our products fluctuate, from time to time, based on numerous factors, including customers' capital spending levels and general economic conditions. While certain industry analysts believe that there is a significant market for data security products, there can be no assurance as to the rate or extent of the growth of such market or the potential adoption of alternative technologies. Future declines in data security product sales as a result of general economic conditions, adoption of alternative technologies or any other reason could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.
Due to the factors noted above and in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations", our future earnings and common stock price may be subject to significant volatility, particularly on a quarterly basis. Past financial performance should not be considered a reliable indicator of future performance and investors should not use historical trends to anticipate results or trends in future periods. Any shortfall in revenue and earnings from the levels anticipated by securities analysts could have an immediate and significant effect on the trading price of our common stock in any given period. Also, we participate in a highly dynamic industry which often results in volatility of our common stock price.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES.
Our headquarters is located in a modern, two-story building in Richardson, Texas, with an aggregate of approximately 95,000 square feet of floor space. This facility includes our corporate administration, manufacturing, marketing, research and development, sales and technical support personnel. We occupy this facility under a lease, the base term of which expires in February 2005, with two seven-year options to extend the lease term, subject to compliance with certain conditions. We also lease a separate warehouse facility consisting of approximately 8,000 square feet, adjacent to our headquarters, under a lease that expires in June 2002.
Personnel of the Essential division (part of the our discontinued operations) are located in a 15,120 square foot leased property in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The lease will expire in February 2009. Research and development, administrative, manufacturing, marketing and sales personnel occupy this property.
Much of our security software research and development staff is located in an 11,400 square foot leased property in San Diego, California. The lease will expire in August 2002. Research and development, sales and administrative personnel occupy this facility.
We have a sales office located in Vienna, Virginia occupying a 9,747 square foot leased property. The lease will expire in April 2004, with a five-year option to extend the lease term, subject to compliance with certain conditions.
In addition, we lease small amounts of office space for sales and technical support personnel domestically in California, Colorado, Georgia, Massachusetts and Washington, and internationally in Canada, England, France, Germany, Malaysia, New Zealand and South Korea. We also opened an office in Tokyo, Japan, in January 2001, under an initial 6-month lease. With the addition of the Japan office, we believe that the existing facilities at December 31, 2000 will be adequate to meet our requirements through 2001. See Note 6 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding our obligations under leases.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
We are not a party to any material litigation and are not aware of any threatened litigation which would have a material adverse effect on Intrusion.com, our operating results or our financial position.
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
"SAFE HARBOR" STATEMENT UNDER THE PRIVATE LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995
This Annual Report, other than historical information, may include forward-looking statements, including statements with respect to financial results, product introductions, market demand, sales channels, industry trends, sufficiency of cash resources and certain other matters. These statements are made under the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and involve risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements, including those discussed in the section entitled "Factors That May Affect Future Results of Operations" in Item 1 and elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
OVERVIEW
We develop, market and support a family of security software and appliances that address vital security issues facing organizations deploying business applications over the Internet or internally via Intranets. We currently provide e-security solutions including intrusion detection systems, security assessment systems, virtual private network appliances and firewall appliances. On June 1, 2000, we changed our name from ODS Networks, Inc. to Intrusion.com, Inc. and our NASDAQ ticker symbol from ODSI to INTZ to reflect our focus on e-security solutions. During the second quarter of 2000, we announced our plan to sell, or otherwise dispose of, our networking divisions which includes our Essential Communications division and our local area networking assets and began accounting for these networking divisions as discontinued operations. Given our change in strategy, our results of operations prior to 2000 do not necessarily reflect our current business.

2000 COMPARED WITH 1999
NET SALES
Net sales increased 191.5% to $23.2 million in 2000 from $8.0 million in
1999. Our increased revenue is attributed to several factors including:
increased sales in our SecureCom product line, SecurityAnalyst availability for
all of 2000 compared to only the fourth quarter of 1999, and new product
introductions of SecureNet Pro and PDS 2100.
Export sales in 2000 increased to $4.5 million, or 19.2% of net sales, compared to $1.1 million, or 14.0% of net sales in 1999 primarily due to greater international acceptance of our security products.
Sales to iGov.com in 2000 and 1999 were 14.2% and 21.3%, respectively of net sales. Sales to TRW in 2000 and 1999 were 24.1% and 7.4%, respectively of net sales. Sales to AT&T in 2000 and 1999 were 0.2% and 10.9%, respectively of net sales. Sales to Federal Data in 2000 and 1999 were 1.9% and 16.0%, respectively of net sales. Sales to Comstor in 2000 and 1999 were 0.0% and 12.1%, respectively of net sales. In addition, a portion of our sales to iGov.com, TRW, Federal Data and other corporations were resold by those organizations to various agencies of the U.S. government.
GROSS PROFIT
Gross profit increased 2.8% to $4.2 million in 2000 from $4.1 million in 1999. As a percentage of net sales, gross profit decreased to 18.1% for 2000 from 51.3% in 1999. This decrease is primarily associated to an increase in our operations infrastructure, which includes operations management, supply chain management, purchasing, quality, order entry, planning and other related functions as well as certain period costs associated with starting up new products and processes.
Gross profit as a percentage of net sales is impacted by several factors, including shifts in product mix, changes in channels of distribution, sales volume, fluctuations in manufacturing costs, pricing strategies, and fluctuations in sales of integrated third-party products.
SALES AND MARKETING
Sales and marketing expenses increased 126.7% to $27.7 million in 2000 from $12.2 million in 1999 as we expanded our sales and marketing programs and staff to support more products and new channels. As a percentage of net sales, sales and marketing expenses decreased to 119.5% in 2000 from 153.7% in 1999. We expect sales and marketing expenses to increase in 2001 compared to 2000 as we continue to invest in sales and marketing programs and personnel. We expect sales and marketing expenses, as a percentage of net sales, to decrease in 2001 compared to 2000. Sales and marketing expenses may vary as a percentage of net sales in the future.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
Research and development expenses increased 60.0% to $13.1 million, or 56.3% of net sales, in 2000 compared to $8.2 million, or 102.6% of net sales, in 1999. Much of this increase was to support product development of new products including SecureNet Pro, SecurityAnalyst and the PDS 2100. Our research and development costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. We expect research and development expenses to increase in 2001 compared to 2000 as we continue to invest in security software and appliances. The Company expects research and development, as a percentage of net sales, to decrease in 2001 compared to 2000. Research and development expenses may vary as a percentage of net sales in the future.
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE
General and administrative expenses, excluding amortization expenses, increased 137.8% to $5.9 million in 2000 from $2.5 million in 1999 primarily due to the shift of general and administrative personnel from our discontinued operations to our continuing operations. As a percentage of net sales, general and administrative expenses decreased to 25.3% in 2000 from 31.0% in 1999. We expect general and administration expenses to increase in 2001 compared to 2000 to support the sales and marketing and research and development infrastructure. General and administrative expenses may vary as a percentage of net sales in the future.
AMORTIZATION OF INTANGIBLES
Amortization of intangibles increased to $1.0 million in 2000 from $0.5 million in 1999, due to the acquisition of MimeStar in June 2000. We expect amortization expense to increase in 2001 to reflect a full year amortization of MimeStar intangibles. Amortization expenses may vary as a percentage of net sales in the future.
INTEREST INCOME, NET
Net interest income increased to $3.3 million in 2000 from $1.1 million in 1999 primarily due to an increase in average cash and interest-bearing investment balances related to our sale of Alteon WebSystems' common stock, generating gross proceeds of $67.1 million in the first quarter of 2000. As a percentage of net sales, net interest income was 14.2% and 13.9% in 2000 and 1999, respectively. We expect net interest income to decrease in 2001 compared to 2000 as we expect our average cash and interest-bearing investment balances to decline for 2001 when compared to 2000. Net interest income may vary in the future based on our cash flow and rate of return on investments.
INCOME TAXES
Our effective income tax rate was 7.6% in 2000 compared to an income tax rate of 0% in 1999. We fully utilized our net operating loss carryback in 1998. We did not record an income tax benefit in 1999 related to the net operating losses which can be carried forward to offset taxable income in future years. Due to our sale of Alteon WebSystems' common stock in 2000, we recognized the tax benefit of the 1999 net operating loss carryforward in 2000. See Note 9 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
1999 COMPARED WITH 1998
NET SALES
Net sales increased 314.7% to $8.0 million in 1999 from $1.9 million in 1998. This increase occurred as we began focusing more resources on our security products compared to our networking and high performance switching products (now discontinued operations).
Export sales in 1999 increased to $1.1 million, or 14.0% of net sales, compared to $0.5 million, or 25.3% of net sales in 1998 primarily due to greater international acceptance of our security products.
Sales to iGov.com in 1999 and 1998 were 21.3% and 4.0%, respectively of net sales. Sales to AT&T in 1999 and 1998 were 10.9% and 7.8%, respectively of net sales. Sales to Federal Data in 1999 and 1998 were 16.0% and 0.0%, respectively of net sales. Sales to NCR in 1999 and 1998 were 0.8% and 17.3%, respectively of net sales. Sales to Comstor in 1999 and 1998 were 12.1% and 0.0%, respectively of net sales. Sales to Concentric in 1999 and 1998 were 0.0% and 11.9%, respectively of net sales. In addition, a portion of our sales to iGov.com, Federal Data and other corporations were resold by those organizations to various agencies of the U.S. government.
GROSS PROFIT
Gross profit increased 329.2% to $4.1 million in 1999 from $1.0 million in 1998. As a percentage of net sales, gross profit remained relatively flat at 51.3% for 1999 compared to 49.6% in 1998.
Gross profit as a percentage of net sales is impacted by several factors, including shifts in product mix, changes in channels of distribution, sales volume, fluctuations in manufacturing costs, pricing strategies, and fluctuations in sales of integrated third-party products.
SALES AND MARKETING
Sales and marketing expenses decreased 31.3% to $12.2 million in 1999 from $17.8 million in 1998. As a percentage of net sales, sales and marketing expenses decreased to 153.7% in 1999 from 927.4% in 1998.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
Research and development expenses increased 187.0% to $8.2 million in 1999 from $2.8 million in 1998 as we continued to develop additional security products, primarily SecureEnterprise, which was acquired from SAIC in September 1998. As a percentage of net sales, research and development expenses decreased to 102.6% in 1999 from 148.3% in 1998. The Company's research and development costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.
IN-PROCESS RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
In 1998, we incurred one-time charges totaling $1.0 million associated with the acquisition of certain assets of SAIC. Such charges were necessary in order to expense the purchased in-process research and development that had not yet reached technological feasibility.
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE
General and administrative expenses, excluding amortization expenses, increased 237.3% to $2.5 million in 1999 from $0.7 million in 1998. As a percentage of net sales, general and administrative expenses decreased to 31.0% in 1999 from 38.1% in 1998.
AMORTIZATION OF INTANGIBLES
Amortization of intangibles increased to $0.5 million in 1999 from $0.3 million in 1998 to reflect a full year amortization related to the acquisition of certain assets of SAIC in September 1998. As a percentage of net sales, amortization of intangibles decreased to 6.9% in 1999 from 14.2% in 1998.
INTEREST INCOME, NET
Net interest income decreased to $1.1 million in 1999 from $1.4 million in 1998 primarily due to a decrease in the average cash and interest-bearing investment balances.
INCOME TAXES
Our effective income tax rate was 0% in 1999 compared to an income tax benefit of 14.5% in 1998. We fully utilized our net operating loss carryback in 1998. We did not record an income tax benefit in 1999 related to the net operating losses which can be carried forward to offset taxable income in future years. We recognize the benefit of our net operating loss carryforwards at such time as we generate taxable income and can be assured that such net operating loss carryforwards can be utilized. See Note 9 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our principal sources of liquidity at December 31, 2000 were $20.3 million of cash and cash equivalents, $17.5 million of short-term investments and $7.6 million of investments with a stated maturity beyond one year. As of December 31, 2000, working capital was $52.5 million compared to $66.6 million as of December 31, 1999.
Net cash flows used in operating activities in 2000 were $49.8 million, primarily due to an operating loss for the year, increased accounts receivable and inventories, and a decrease in accounts payable. Future fluctuations in accounts receivable, inventory balances and accounts payable will be dependent upon several factors, including but not limited to quarterly sales, timely collection of accounts receivable, and the accuracy of our forecasts of product demand and component requirements.
Net cash provided by investing activities in 2000 was $40.4 million, consisting of $67.1 million in proceeds from the sale of securities available for sale, offset by $16.2 million for net purchases of investments, $6.4 million for purchases of property and equipment and $4.0 for the purchase of MimeStar.
Net cash provided by financing activities in 2000 was $17.1 million, consisting of the receipt of $1.2 million for a note receivable and $15.9 million related to the exercise of warrants and certain employee stock options.
At December 31, 2000, we did not have any material commitments for capital expenditures. During 2000, we funded our operations through cash, cash equivalents and investments.
We believe that our cash, cash equivalents and investment balances will provide sufficient cash resources to finance our operations and currently projected capital expenditures through 2001. However, there can be no assurance our cash resources will be sufficient for 2001.
We intend to explore the possible acquisitions of businesses, products and technologies that are complementary to our existing business. We are continuing to identify and prioritize additional security technologies which we may wish to develop, either internally or through the licensing or acquisition of products from third parties. While we engage from time to time in discussions with respect to potential acquisitions, there can be no assurances that any such acquisitions will be made or that we will be able to successfully integrate any acquired business. In order to finance such acquisitions, it may be necessary for us to raise additional funds through public or private financings. Any equity or debt financings, if available at all, may be on terms which are not favorable to us and, in the case of equity financings, may result in dilution to our stockholders.
ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
Foreign Exchange. Our revenue originating outside the U.S. in 2000, 1999 and 1998 was 19.2%, 14.0% and 25.3% of total revenues, respectively. Revenues generated from the European region in 2000, 1999 and 1998 were 7.6%, 8.3% and 9.5% of total revenues, respectively. Revenues generated from the Asia region in 2000, 1999 and 1998 were 7.4%, 5.6% and 12.9% of total revenues, respectively. International sales are generated primarily from our foreign sales subsidiaries in the local countries and are typically denominated in U.S. dollars. These subsidiaries incur most of their expenses in the local currency.
Our international business is subject to risks typical of an international business, including, but not limited to: differing economic conditions, changes in political climate, differing tax structures, import and export regulations, other regulations and restrictions, and foreign exchange rate volatility. Accordingly, our results could be materially adversely impacted by changes in these or other factors. The effect of foreign exchange rate fluctuations on our business in 2000, 1999 and 1998 was not material.
Interest Rates. We invest our cash in a variety of financial instruments, including bank time deposits, fixed rate obligations of corporations, municipalities, and state and national governmental entities and agencies. These investments are denominated in U.S. dollars. Cash balances in foreign currencies overseas are operating balances and are invested in short-term time deposits of the local operating bank.
Interest income on our investments is carried in "Interest income, net". We account for our investment instruments in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities" ("SFAS 115"). All of the cash equivalents and short-term investments are treated as available-for-sale under SFAS 115.
Investments in fixed rate interest earning instruments carry a degree of interest rate risk. Fixed rate securities may have their fair market value adversely impacted due to a rise in interest rates. Due in part to these factors, our future investment income may fall short of expectations due to changes in interest rates or we may suffer losses in principal if forced to sell securities which have seen a decline in market value due to changes in interest rates. Our investment securities are held for purposes other than trading. Certain of the investment securities had maturities in excess of one year. The weighted-average interest rate on investment securities at December 31, 2000 was 6.1%. The fair value of investments held at December 31, 2000 approximated amortized cost.

The Board of Directors and Stockholders,

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Intrusion.com, Inc., and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2000, and 1999, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2000. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule included in the Index at Item 14(a). These financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedule based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Intrusion.com, Inc., and its subsidiaries at December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2000, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Intrusion.com, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
CASH EQUIVALENTS
The Company considers cash and all highly liquid investments purchased with an original or remaining maturity of less than three months as of the balance sheet date to be cash equivalents.
SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS
The Company's short-term investments consist of U.S. government obligations, government agencies, and corporate securities with maximum maturities of one year. Short-term investments are classified as available for sale. These investments are valued at market value, which approximates amortized cost. The difference between fair market value and amortized cost is not material.
RISK CONCENTRATION
Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk are primarily cash and cash-equivalents, investments and accounts receivable. The Company places its investments in U.S. government obligations, corporate securities and money market funds. Substantially
INTRUSION.COM, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) all of the Company's cash, cash equivalents and investments are maintained with two major financial institutions.
The Company sells its products to customers in diversified industries worldwide, primarily in North America, Europe, Asia and Latin America. Fluctuations in currency exchange rates and adverse economic developments in foreign countries could adversely effect the Company's operating results. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers' financial condition and generally requires no collateral. The Company maintains reserves for potential credit losses and such losses, in the aggregate, have not exceeded management expectations.
While the Company believes that many of the materials used in the production of its products are generally readily available from a variety of sources, certain components are available from one or a limited number of suppliers. The inability of any supplier or manufacturer to fulfill supply requirements of the Company could impact future results.
INVENTORIES
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is computed using standard cost, which approximates actual cost on a first-in, first-out basis. Management estimates the allowance required to state inventory at the lower of cost or market. There is a risk that the Company will forecast demand for its products and market conditions incorrectly and produce excess inventories. Therefore, there can be no assurance that the Company will not produce excess inventory and incur inventory lower of cost or market charges in the future.
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment is stated at cost and depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Such lives vary from 3 to 20 years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of their useful lives or the terms of the leases. Repair and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.
LONG-TERM INVESTMENTS
Long-term investments consist of U.S. government and corporate obligations with maturities which range up to two years from December 31, 2000. Long-term investments are classified as available for sale. These investments are valued at market value, which approximates amortized cost. The difference between fair value and amortized cost is not material.
GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price and related direct costs over the value assigned to the net tangible and specifically identifiable intangible assets of businesses acquired. Goodwill is being amortized using the straight-line method over 7 years. Intangibles generally relate to software and developed technology acquired in a purchase business combination or an acquisition of assets. Intangibles are being amortized over their estimated useful lives, generally estimated at 7 years. Annual amortization expense related to goodwill and other intangible assets for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999 was $1.0 million and $0.5 million, respectively.
INTRUSION.COM, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) The Company assesses whether its goodwill and other intangible assets are impaired as required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 121, ACCOUNTING FOR THE IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSET AND FOR LONG-LIVED ASSETS TO BE DISPOSED OF, based on the evaluation of undiscounted projected cash flows through the remaining amortization period. If an impairment exists, the amount of such impairment is calculated based on the estimated fair value of the asset.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION
The Company's international subsidiaries use their local currencies as their functional currencies. Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date, and income and expense accounts at average exchange rates during the year. Resulting translation adjustments are recorded directly to a separate component of stockholders' equity.
ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK OPTIONS
The Company has elected to continue to follow APB Opinion No. 25, ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK ISSUED TO EMPLOYEES, (APB 25) and related interpretations in accounting for its employee stock options. Under APB 25, if the exercise price of an employee's stock option equals or exceeds the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant, no compensation expense is recognized. The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) has issued SFAS No. 123, ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION, which provides for either recognition or disclosure of a hypothetical charge for stock options. The Company did not recognize any charge in its income statement, but has provided the required disclosure in Note 10.

The Company reports two separate earnings per share numbers, basic EPS and diluted EPS with additional disclosure made between continuing and discontinued operations. Diluted EPS includes the dilutive impact of employee stock options and warrants.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
The Company generally recognizes product revenue upon shipment of product. The Company accrues for estimated warranty costs, sales returns and other allowances at the time of shipment based on its experience. Revenue from maintenance contracts is deferred and recognized over the contractual period the services are performed. To date, warranty costs and sales returns have not been material. There is a risk that technical issues on new products could result in unexpected warranty costs and returns.
The Company recognizes software revenue from the licensing of its software products in accordance with Statement of Position ("SOP") No. 97-2 "Software Revenue Recognition" and SOP 98-9 "Modification of 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, with respect to certain transactions" whereby revenue from the licensing of the Company's products is not recognized until all four of the following have been met: i) execution of a written purchase order, license agreement or contract; ii) shipment of the product has occurred; iii) the license fee is fixed and determinable; and iv) collectibility is probable. The Company defers and recognizes maintenance and support revenue over the term of the contract period, which is generally one year.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) The Company has signed distribution agreements with distributors in the United States, Europe and Asia. In general, these relationships are non-exclusive. Distributors typically maintain an inventory of Intrusion.com products. Under these agreements, Intrusion.com provides certain protection to the distributors for their inventory of Intrusion.com products for price reductions as well as products that are slow-moving or have been discontinued by the Company. Recognition of sales to distributors and related gross profits are deferred until the merchandise is resold by the distributors.
ADVERTISING COSTS
Advertising expense is charged to operations in the period in which such costs are incurred. Total advertising included in sales and marketing expenses was $1.3 million, $0.1 million and $0.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS
The Company incurs research and development costs that relate primarily to the development of new security software, appliances and integrated solutions, and major enhancements to existing services and products. Research development costs are comprised primarily of salaries and related benefits expenses, contract labor and prototype and other related expenses.
Software development costs are included in research and development and are expensed as incurred. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 86, ACCOUNTING FOR THE COSTS OF COMPUTER SOFTWARE TO BE SOLD, LEASED OR OTHERWISE MARKETED, requires that software development costs incurred subsequent to reaching technological feasibility be capitalized, if material. If the process of developing a new product or major enhancement does not include a detailed program design, technological feasibility is determined only after completion of a working model. To date, the period between achieving technological feasibility and the general availability of such software has been short, and the software development costs qualifying for capitalization have been insignificant.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates are used for, but not limited to, the accounting for doubtful accounts, sales discounts, sales returns, distribution revenue, warranty costs, inventory obsolescence, depreciation and taxes. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
INCOME TAXES
The income tax provision is based on pretax financial accounting income or loss. The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to SFAS No. 109, ACCOUNTING FOR INCOME TAXES, which uses the liability method to calculate deferred income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected tax consequences of temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts. The realization of deferred tax assets is based on historical tax positions and expectations about future taxable income. The liability method also requires the recognition of future tax benefits such as net operating loss carryforwards, to the extent that realization of such benefits is more likely than not.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) RECLASSIFICATION
Certain amounts in prior year financial statements have been reclassified to conform with current year presentation.
NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 ("SFAS 133"), "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities". SFAS 133 requires companies to record derivatives on the balance sheet as assets or liabilities, measured at fair value. Gains or losses resulting from changes in the values of those derivatives would be accounted for depending on the use of the derivative and whether it qualifies for hedge accounting. SFAS 133, as amended by SFAS 138, is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. The adoption of SFAS 133 as of January 1, 2001 is not expected to have a material impact on the financial position or results of operations of the Company because the Company has no derivatives or hedges.
3. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS AND ACQUISITION OF ASSETS
On September 25, 1998, the Company completed an acquisition of certain assets from Science Applications International Corporation ("SAIC"), a privately-held company in San Diego, California. The Company acquired certain assets of the Computer Misuse and Detection System ("CMDS") Division of SAIC and certain other information security products under development. In exchange for the CMDS assets, the information security products under development and $1.5 million dollars in cash, Intrusion.com issued to SAIC 1.6 million shares of the Company's common stock and warrants to purchase an additional 1.5 million shares of its common stock. Two separate warrants each grant SAIC the right to purchase 750,000 shares of Intrusion.com common stock. The first warrant had an exercise price of $8.00 per share and a term of 18 months and was exercised on March 23, 2000. The second warrant had an exercise price of $10.50 per share and a term of 24 months and was exercised on September 22, 2000. Intrusion.com's acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase of software, in-process research and development and certain other assets. The transaction value of approximately $6.9 million less the $1.5 million cash received was allocated to the net assets acquired based on their estimated fair market value. Assets acquired included approximately $1.1 million of in-process research and development, $0.1 million of other intangible assets and approximately $4.2 million of purchased software to be amortized over seven years on a straight-line basis. During 1998, the Company recognized a one-time charge of $0.7 million (net of taxes), or $0.04 per share, for the write-off of the acquired in-process research and development. The acquisition of certain assets of SAIC does not meet the reporting requirements for pro forma financial information.
On September 30, 1999, the Company entered a technology licensing agreement with RSA Security Inc. ("RSA") under which the Company is the exclusive licensee of RSA's Kane Security Products in North America and Europe. The Kane Security Products include the Kane SecurityAnalyst, a security assessment tool, and the Kane Security Monitor, a host based intrusion detection tool. The Company is responsible for marketing, sales, support, maintenance and development for Kane Security software.
On June 30, 2000, the Company acquired MimeStar, Inc. ("MimeStar"), a Virginia corporation. MimeStar developed an advanced, network based intrusion detection system called SecureNet Pro-TM-. The acquisition, accounted for using the purchase method, was affected by the merger of a wholly

Pursuant to the Merger, the stockholder of MimeStar received $3 million in cash with an additional $1 million in cash and 95,969 shares of the Company's common stock (which was valued at approximately $1 million on the date of the Merger) placed in escrow, payable to the stockholder of MimeStar within one year subject to indemnification and other conditions. Transaction costs for this acquisition totaled approximately $100,000. The acquisition costs of $5.1 million were capitalized as purchased software, goodwill and other intangibles and are being amortized over seven years beginning on July 1, 2000.

8. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN
On April 24, 1997, the Company adopted an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "Purchase Plan") under which 0.5 million shares of common stock have been reserved for issuance. Eligible employees may designate not more than 10% of their compensation to be deducted each pay period for the purchase of common stock under the Purchase Plan. The Purchase Plan was amended January 17, 2001 to increase the maximum number of shares that can be purchased per participant from 500 shares to 1,000 shares per offering. Each participant may purchase up to 2,000 shares in any one calendar year. On January 31 and July 31 of each calendar year, shares of common stock are purchased with the employees' payroll deductions over the immediately preceding six months at a price per share of 85% of the lesser of the market price of the common stock on the purchase date or the market price on the first day of the six-month period. The Purchase Plan will terminate no later than April 24, 2007. A total of 71,163 shares have been issued under the Purchase Plan as of December 31, 2000. Subsequent to December 31, 2000, 21,615 shares of stock were issued under the Purchase Plan for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $136,000 related to the purchase period which commenced on August 1, 2000 and ended on January 31, 2001.
EMPLOYEE 401(K) PLAN
The Company has adopted a plan known as the Intrusion.com 401(k) Savings
Plan (formerly the ODS 401(k) Savings Plan) (the "Plan") to provide retirement
and incidental benefits for its employees. The Plan covers substantially all
employees who meet minimum age and service requirements. As allowed under
Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code, the Plan provides tax deferred
salary deductions for eligible employees.
Employees may contribute from 1% to 19% of their annual compensation to the Plan, limited to a maximum amount as set by the Internal Revenue Service. The Company matches employee contributions at the rate of $0.25 per each $1.00 of contribution on the first 4% of deferred

9. INCOME TAXES
Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Significant components of the Company's deferred tax assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998 are as follows (in thousands):

Deferred tax assets are required to be reduced by a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Realization of the future benefits related to the deferred tax assets is dependent on many factors, including the Company's ability to recover taxes previously paid and to generate taxable income within the near to medium term. Management has considered these factors in determining the valuation allowance in 2000.

10. STOCK, STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS
On September 25, 1998, in connection with the Company's acquisition of certain assets from Science Applications International Corporation ("SAIC"), the Company issued to SAIC 1.6 million shares of the Company's common stock and warrants to purchase an additional 1.5 million shares of its common stock. Two separate warrants each grant SAIC the right to purchase 750,000 shares of its common stock. The first warrant had an exercise price of $8.00 per share and a term of 18 months. The second warrant had an exercise price of $10.50 per share and a term of 24 months. On March 23, 2000, SAIC exercised the first warrant for 750,000 at an exercise price of $8.00 per share. On September 22, 2000, SAIC exercised the remaining 750,000 shares at an exercise price of $10.50 per share.
On May 7, 1998, in connection with the Company's acquisition of Essential, the Company issued approximately 306,000 shares of the Company's common stock for all outstanding shares of Essential capital stock, and the Company issued approximately 104,000 stock options in exchange for all unexpired and unexercised options to acquire Essential capital stock. At December 31, 2000, there are 27,543 options outstanding from the Essential assumed options.
At December 31, 2000, the Company has four stock-based compensation plans, which are described below. These plans were developed to retain and attract key employees and directors.
The Company established an Incentive Stock Option Plan in 1983, which provides for the issuance of options to key employees of the Company to purchase common stock of the Company. The 1983 Incentive Stock Option Plan was terminated on November 10, 1993.
In 1987, an additional Incentive Stock Option Plan was established with similar provisions to allow for further issuance of options. The 1987 Incentive Stock Option Plan was terminated on January 26, 1997. The 1983 and 1987 plans each provided for the issuance of up to 1.2 million shares of common stock upon exercise of options granted pursuant to the plans.
In 1995, the Company adopted the 1995 Stock Option Plan (the "1995 Plan") which provides for the issuance of up to 1.6 million shares of common stock upon exercise of options granted pursuant to the 1995 Plan. On April 19, 2000, the stockholders approved a 850,000 share increase to the 1995 Plan, which increased the overall shares available for issuance pursuant to the plan to 2,450,000 shares. The 1995 Plan provides for the issuance of both non-qualified and incentive stock options to employees, officers, and employee-directors of the Company.
In 1995, the Company adopted the 1995 Non-employee Director Stock Option Plan (the "1995 Non-employee Director Plan") which provides for the issuance of up to 160,000 shares of common stock upon exercise of options granted pursuant to the 1995 Non-employee Director Plan. The Plan provides for the issuance of non-qualified stock options to non-employee directors.
INTRUSION.COM, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
10. STOCK, STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS (CONTINUED) In 2000, 1995 and 1994, options to purchase 20,000 shares, 60,000 shares, and 12,000 shares, respectively, were granted to directors. The terms and exercise prices of these options are similar to the incentive stock options.
Common shares reserved for future issuance under all of the stock option plans and employee stock purchase plans total approximately 3 million shares at December 31, 2000.
The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors determines the term of each option, option exercise price within limits set forth in the plans, number of shares for which each option is granted and the rate at which each option is exercisable (generally ratably over three or five years from grant date). However, the exercise price of any incentive stock option may not be less than the fair market value of the shares on the date granted (or less than 110% of the fair market value in the case of optionees holding more than 10% of the voting stock of the Company), and the term cannot exceed ten years (five years for incentive stock options granted to holders of more than 10% of the Company's voting stock).

SFAS No. 123, ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK BASED COMPENSATION, requires the disclosure of pro forma net income and earnings per share information computed as if the Company had accounted for its employee stock options granted subsequent to December 31, 1994, under the fair value method set
INTRUSION.COM, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
10. STOCK, STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS (CONTINUED) forth in SFAS 123. The fair value for these options was estimated using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions:
EMPLOYEE STOCK OPTIONS ------------------------------------ 2000 1999 1998 -------- -------- -------- Expected dividend yield..................................... 0.0% 0.0% 0.0% Risk-free interest rate..................................... 6.7% 5.5% 4.8% Expected volatility......................................... 120.0% 70.0% 70.0% Expected life (in years).................................... 2.0 2.0 2.0 |
The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options which have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. Because the Company's employee stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management's opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its employee stock options. In addition, because SFAS 123 is applicable only to options granted subsequent to December 31, 1994, the pro forma information does not reflect the pro forma effect of all previous stock option grants of the Company, and thus the pro forma information is not necessarily indicative of future amounts until SFAS 123 is applied to outstanding stock options.
Information relating to the fair value of option grants made during 2000, 1999 and 1998 is as follows:
2000 1999 1998 -------- -------- -------- Options granted (all with exercise price equal to fair value of common stock): Number of options (in thousands).......................... 1,087 479 2,358 Weighted average exercise price per share................. $11.60 $4.95 $4.36 Weighted average fair value of stock options grants per Black-Sholes option valuation model..................... $ 8.40 $2.44 $2.24 |
For purposes of pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of the options is amortized to expense over the options' vesting period. For purposes of pro forma disclosure, the Company assumed that it would not receive a tax deduction or tax benefit for financial reporting purposes related to incentive stock options. In management's opinion, the pro forma disclosure is not necessarily indicative of the net financial effect, assuming the Company was required to expense the fair value of employee stock options, because an incentive stock option often generates a tax deduction for the Company whereby the stock option holder does not comply with the holding period requirements under applicable tax laws. The Company's pro forma information follows (in thousands, except earnings per share information):
2000 1999 1998 -------- -------- -------- Pro forma net income (loss)................................. $20,511 $(12,884) $(27,201) Pro forma earnings per share................................ $ 1.00 $ (0.69) $ (1.58) |

Such options are excluded due to the Company incurring a net loss per share in that year or due to exercise prices exceeding the average market value of the Company's common stock in the applicable period.

Gross profit decreased, as a percentage of net sales, from 1999 to 2000 primarily due to an increase in the Company's operations infrastructure, which includes operations management, supply chain management, purchasing, quality, order entry, planning and other related functions as well as certain period costs associated with starting up new products and processes.

The number of Directors of the Corporation may from time to time be changed in accordance with the Bylaws of the Corporation and the DGCL. A Director shall hold office until the next annual meeting of the Stockholders of the Corporation and until his successor shall be elected and shall qualify, subject, however, to prior death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal from office.

A Director elected by the Board of Directors to fill a newly created Directorship resulting from an increase in the number of Directors shall hold office until the next annual meeting of the Stockholders of the Corporation and until his successor shall be elected and shall qualify.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, whenever the holders of any one or more classes or series of Preferred Stock issued by the Corporation shall have the right, voting separately by class or series, to elect Directors at an annual or special meeting of Stockholders, the election, term of office, filling of vacancies and other features of such Directorships shall be governed by the terms of the Certificate of Designations applicable thereto, and such Directors so elected shall not be divided into classes unless expressly provided by such terms. Further, any such Directors elected by one or more classes or series of Preferred Stock may be removed at any time, with or without cause (except as other provided in Section 4 of this Article below), by, and only by, the affirmative vote of the holders of record of a majority of the outstanding shares of such class or series given at a special meeting if such Stockholders called for such purpose.
Section 2. LIMITATION ON LIABILITY OF DIRECTORS. Pursuant
to Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL, a Director of the Corporation shall not be
personally liable to the Corporation or its Stockholders for monetary damages
for breach of fiduciary duty as a Director, except for liability (1) for any
breach of the Director's duty of loyalty to the Corporation or its Stockholders;
(2) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional
misconduct or a knowing violation of law; (3) under Section 174 of the DGCL; or
(4) for any transaction from which the Director derived an improper personal
benefit. If the DGCL or other applicable provision of Delaware law hereafter is
amended to authorize further elimination or limitation of the liability
of Directors, then the liability of a Director of this Corporation, in addition to the limitation on personal liability provided herein, shall be limited to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL or other applicable provision of Delaware law as amended. Any repeal or modification of this Section 2 by the Stockholders of this Corporation shall be prospective only and shall not adversely affect any limitation on the personal liability of a Director of the Corporation existing at the time of such repeal or modification.

Any Director or the entire Board of Directors may be removed, with or without cause, by the holders of a majority of the shares then entitled to vote at an election of Directors, except as otherwise provided by law and except if the directors of the Corporation are ever divided into two or three classes, any Director may be removed only for cause by the holders of a majority of the shares then entitled to vote at an election for such class of Directors.

Such right shall be a contract right and shall include the right to require advancement by the Corporation of reasonable expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred in defending any such Proceeding in advance of its final disposition; provided, however, that the payment of such expenses in advance of the final disposition of such Proceeding shall be made by the Corporation only upon delivery to the Corporation of a written affirmation by such person of his good faith belief that he has met the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification under the DGCL and a written undertaking, by or on behalf of such person, to repay all amounts so advanced if it should be ultimately determined that such person has not satisfied such requirements.
Section 2. NATURE OF INDEMNIFICATION.

Whenever a compromise or arrangement is proposed between this Corporation and its creditors or any class of them and/or between this Corporation and its Stockholders or any class of them, any court of equitable jurisdiction within the State of Delaware may, on the application in a summary way of this Corporation or of any creditor or Stockholder thereof or on the application of any receiver or receivers appointed for this Corporation under the provisions of Section 291 of Title 8 of the Delaware Code, or on the application of trustees in dissolution or of any receiver or receivers appointed for this Corporation under the provisions of Section 279 of Title 8 of the Delaware Code, order a meeting of the creditors or class of creditors, and/or of the Stockholders or class of Stockholders of this Corporation, as the case may be, to be summoned in such manner as the said court directs.

ARTICLE 2
STOCKHOLDERS
2.1 PLACE OF MEETINGS. Each meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation is to be held at the principal offices of the Corporation or at such other place, either within or without the State of Delaware, as may be specified in the notice of the meeting or in a duly executed waiver of notice thereof.
2.2 ANNUAL MEETING. The annual meeting of the stockholders for the election of Directors and for the transaction of such other business as may properly come before the meeting shall be held at such date, time and place as may be designated each by resolution of the Board of Directors, provided, however, that the failure to hold the annual meeting within the designated period of time or on the designated date shall not work a forfeiture or dissolution of the Corporation.
2.3 SPECIAL MEETINGS. Special meetings of the stockholders, for any purpose or purposes, may be called by the Board of Directors, the Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer or the President. The notice of a special meeting shall state the purpose or purposes of the proposed meeting and the business to be transacted at any such special meeting of stockholders, and shall be limited to the purposes stated in the notice therefor.
2.4 NOTICE. Written or printed notice of the meeting stating the place, day and hour of the meeting, and in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called, shall be delivered not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of the meeting, either personally or by mail, by or at the direction of the Board of Directors, the Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer, the President, or the Secretary, to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting as determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.10 hereof. If mailed, such notice shall be deemed to be delivered when deposited in the United States Mail, with postage thereon prepaid, addressed to the stockholder entitled thereto at his address as it appears on the stock transfer books of the Corporation.
2.5 VOTING LIST. The officer or agent having charge and custody of the stock transfer books of the Corporation, shall prepare, at least ten (10) days before each meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at such meeting, arranged in alphabetical order and showing the address of each stockholder and the number of shares having voting privileges registered in the name of each stockholder. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting, during ordinary business hours for a period of not less than ten (10) days prior to such meeting either at the principal office of the Corporation or at a place within the city where the meeting is to be held, which place shall be specified in the notice of the meeting, or, if not so specified, at the place where the meeting is to be held. Such list shall also be produced and kept open at the time and place of the meeting and shall be subject to the inspection of any stockholder during the entire time of the meeting. The original stock ledger or transfer book, or a duplicate thereof, shall be prima facie evidence as to identity of the stockholders entitled to examine such list or stock ledger or transfer book and to vote at any such meeting of the stockholders. The failure to comply with the requirements of this Section shall not effect the validity of any action taken at such meeting.
2.6 QUORUM. The holders of a majority of the shares of the capital stock issued and outstanding entitled to vote thereat, represented in person or by proxy, shall be requisite and shall constitute a quorum at all meetings of the stockholders for the transaction of business except as otherwise provided by statute or by the Certificate of Incorporation or by these Bylaws. If, however, such quorum shall not be present or represented at any such meeting of the stockholders, the stockholders entitled to vote thereat, present in person, or represented by proxy, shall have the power to adjourn the meeting, from time to time, without notice other than
announcement at the meeting, until a quorum shall be present or represented. At such reconvened meeting at which a quorum shall be present or represented, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally notified. If the adjournment is for more than thirty (30) days, or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the reconvened meeting; a notice of said meeting shall be given to each stockholder entitled to vote at said meeting.
2.7 REQUISITE VOTE. With respect to any action to be taken by the stockholders on any matter other than the election of directors, the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of capital stock entitled to vote on that matter represented in person or by proxy at a meeting of the stockholders at which a quorum is present shall be the act of the stockholders.
2.8 WITHDRAWAL OF QUORUM. If a quorum is present at the time of commencement of any meeting, the stockholders present at such duly convened meeting may continue to transact any business which may properly come before said meeting until adjournment thereof, notwithstanding the withdrawal from such meeting of sufficient holders of the shares of capital stock entitled to vote thereat to leave less than a quorum remaining.
2.9 VOTING AT MEETING. Voting at meetings of stockholders shall be conducted and exercised subject to the following procedures and regulations:
(a) VOTING POWER. In the exercise of voting power with respect to each matter properly submitted to a vote at any meeting of stockholders, each stockholder of the capital stock of the Corporation having voting power shall be entitled to one (1) vote for each such share held in his name on the books of the Corporation, except to the extent otherwise specified by the Certificate of Incorporation or Certificate of Designations pertaining to a series of preferred stock.
(b) EXERCISE OF VOTING POWER. Each stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting or to express consent or dissent to corporate action in writing without a meeting may vote either in person or authorize another person or persons to act for him by proxy duly appointed by instrument in writing subscribed by such stockholder or by his duly authorized attorney-in-fact; provided, however, no such appointment of proxy shall be valid, voted or acted upon after the expiration of three (3) years from the date of execution of such written instrument of appointment, unless otherwise stated therein. A proxy shall be revocable unless expressly designated therein as irrevocable and coupled with an interest. Proxies coupled with an interest include the appointment as proxy of: (a) a pledgee; (b) a person who purchased or agreed to purchase or owns or holds an option to purchase the shares voted; (c) a creditor of the Corporation who extended its credit under terms requiring the appointment; (d) an employee of the Corporation whose employment contract requires the appointment; or (e) a party to a voting agreement created under Section 218 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware, as amended. Each proxy shall be filed with the Secretary of the Corporation prior to or at the time of the meeting. Any vote may be taken by voice vote or by show of hands unless someone entitled to vote at the meeting objects, in which case written ballots shall be used.
(c) ELECTION OF DIRECTORS. In all elections of Directors cumulative voting shall be prohibited.
2.10 RECORD DATE. As more specifically provided in Article 7, Section 7.7 hereof, the Board of Directors may fix in advance a record date for the purpose of determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors, and which record date shall not be less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days prior to such meeting. In the absence of any action by the Board of Directors fixing the record date, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be at the close of business on the day before the day on which notice of the meeting is given, or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day before the meeting is held.
2.11 NO ACTION WITHOUT MEETINGS. Any action permitted or required to be taken at a meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation shall be taken only at a duly called and convened annual or special meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation at which a quorum is present, and may not be taken without a meeting, without prior notice, and without a vote, by a consent or consents in writing setting forth the action so taken signed by the holder or holders of a majority of the outstanding stock entitled to vote thereon.
2.12 PREEMPTIVE RIGHTS. No holder of shares of capital stock of the Corporation shall, as such holder, have any right to purchase or subscribe for any capital stock of any class which the Corporation may issue or sell, whether or not exchangeable for any capital stock of the Corporation of any class or classes, whether issued out of unissued shares authorized by the Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, or out of shares of capital stock of the Corporation acquired by it after the issue thereof; nor shall any holder of shares of capital stock of the Corporation, as such holder, have any right to purchase, acquire or subscribe for any securities which the Corporation may issue or sell whether or not convertible into or exchangeable for shares of capital stock of the Corporation of any class or classes, and whether or not any such securities have attached or appurtenant thereto warrants, options or other instruments which entitle holders thereof to purchase, acquire or subscribe for shares of capital stock of any class or classes.
ARTICLE 3
DIRECTORS
3.1 MANAGEMENT POWERS. The powers of the Corporation shall be exercised by or under the authority of, and the business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed under the direction of, its Board of Directors which may exercise all such powers of the Corporation and do all such lawful acts and things as are not by statue or by the Certificate of Incorporation or by these Bylaws directed or required to be exercised or done by the stockholders.
3.2 NUMBER AND QUALIFICATION. The Board of Directors shall consist of not less than three (3) members nor more than eleven (11) members; provided, however, the initial Board of Directors shall consist of five (5) members. Directors need not be residents of the State of Delaware nor stockholders of the Corporation. Each Director shall qualify as a Director
following election as such by agreeing to act or acting in such capacity. The number of Directors shall be fixed, and may be increased or decreased, from time to time by resolution of the Board of Directors without the necessity of a written amendment to the Bylaws of the Corporation; provided, however, no decrease shall have the effect of shortening the term of any incumbent Director.
3.3 ELECTION AND TERM. Members of the Board of Directors shall hold office until the annual meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation and until their successors shall have been elected and qualified. At the annual meeting of stockholders, the stockholders entitled to vote in an election of Directors shall elect Directors to hold office until the next succeeding annual meeting of the stockholders. Each Director shall hold office for the term for which he is elected, and until his successor shall be elected and qualified or until his death, resignation or removal, if earlier.
3.4 VOTING ON DIRECTORS. Directors shall be elected by the vote of the holders of a plurality of the shares entitled to vote in the election of Directors and represented in person or by proxy at a meeting of stockholders at which a quorum is present. Cumulative voting in the election of Directors is expressly prohibited.
3.5 VACANCIES AND NEW DIRECTORSHIPS. Vacancies and newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the authorized number of Directors elected by all the stockholders having the right to vote as a single class may be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of the Directors then in office, although less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining Director, or by the requisite vote of the stockholders at an annual meeting of the stockholders or at a special meeting of the stockholders called for that purpose, and the Directors so elected shall hold office until their successors are elected and qualified. If the holders of any class or classes of stock or series of stock of the Corporation are entitled to elect one or more Directors by the Certificate of Incorporation or Certificate of Designations applicable to such class or series, vacancies and newly created directorships of such class or classes or series may be filled by a majority of the Directors elected by such class or classes or series thereof then in office, or by a sole remaining Director so elected, and the Directors so elected shall hold office until the next election of the class for which such Directors shall have been chosen, and until their successors shall be elected and qualified. For purposes of these Bylaws, a "vacancy" shall be defined as an unfilled directorship arising by virtue of the death, resignation or removal of a Director theretofore duly elected to service in such capacity in accordance with the relevant provisions of these Bylaws.
3.6 REMOVAL. Except as hereinafter stated, any Director may be removed either for or without cause at any duly convened special or annual meeting of stockholders, by the affirmative vote of a majority in number of shares of the stockholders present in person or by proxy at any meeting and entitled to vote for the election of such Director, provided notice of intention to act upon such matter shall have been given in the notice calling such meeting. Notwithstanding the preceding, if the Directors of the Corporation are ever divided into two or three classes, any Director may be removed only for cause by the affirmative vote of a majority in number of shares of the stockholders present in person or by proxy at any meeting and entitled to vote for the election of such Director, provided notice of intention to act upon such matter shall have been given in the notice calling such meeting.
3.7 MEETINGS. The meetings of the Board of Directors shall be held and conducted subject to the following regulations:
(a) PLACE. Meetings of the Board of Directors of the Corporation, annual, regular or special, are to be held at the principal office or place of business of the Corporation, or such other places, either within or without the State of Delaware, as may be specified in the respective notices, or waivers of notices, thereof.
(b) ANNUAL MEETING. The Board of Directors shall meet each year immediately after the annual meeting of the stockholders, at the place where such meeting of the stockholders has been held (either within or without the State of Delaware), for the purpose of organization, election of officers, and consideration of any other business that may properly be brought before the meeting. No notice of any kind to either old or new members of the Board of Directors for such annual meeting shall be required.
(c) REGULAR MEETINGS. Regular meetings of the Board of Directors may be held without notice at such time and at such place as shall from time to time be determined and designated by the Board.
(d) SPECIAL MEETINGS. Special meetings of the Board of Directors may be called by the Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer or the President of the Corporation on notice of two (2) days to each Director either personally or by mail or by telegram, telex or facsimile transmission and delivery. Special meetings of the Board of Directors shall be called by the Chairman of the Board or the President or Secretary in like manner and on like notice on the written request of two (2) Directors.
(e) NOTICE AND WAIVER OF NOTICE. Attendance of a Director at any meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except where a Director attends for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular meeting of the Board of Directors need be specified in the notice or waiver of notice of such meeting.
(f) QUORUM. At all meetings of the Board of Directors, a majority of the number of Directors shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business, unless a greater number is required by law or by the Certificate of Incorporation. If a quorum shall not be present at any meeting of Directors, the Directors present thereat may adjourn the meeting, from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum shall be present.
(g) REQUISITE VOTE. In the exercise of voting power with respect to each matter properly submitted to a vote at any meeting of the Board of Directors, each Director present at such meeting shall have one (1) vote. The act of a majority of the Directors present at any meeting at which a quorum is present shall be the act of the Board of Directors.
3.8 ACTION WITHOUT MEETINGS. Unless otherwise restricted by the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, any action required or permitted by law to be taken at any
meeting of the Board of Directors, or any committee thereof, may be taken without a meeting, if prior to such action a written consent thereto is signed by all members of the Board or of such committee, as the case may be, and such written consent is filed in the minutes or proceedings of the Board of Directors or committee.
3.9 COMMITTEES. Committees designated and appointed by the Board of Directors shall function subject to and in accordance with the following regulations and procedures:
(a) DESIGNATION AND APPOINTMENT. The Board of Directors may, by resolution adopted by a majority of the entire Board, designate and appoint one or more committees under such name or names and for such purpose or function as may be deemed appropriate.
(b) MEMBERS; ALTERNATE MEMBERS; TERMS. Each committee thus designated and appointed shall consist of one or more of the Directors of the Corporation, one of whom, in the case of the Executive Committee, shall be the Chief Executive Officer of the Company. The Board of Directors may designate one or more of its members as alternate members of any committee, who may, subject to any limitations imposed by the entire Board, replace absent or disqualified members at any meeting of that committee. The members or alternate members of any such committee shall serve at the pleasure of and subject to the discretion of the Board of Directors.
(c) AUTHORITY. Each committee, to the extent provided in the resolutions of the Board creating same, shall have and may exercise such of the powers and authority of the Board of Directors in the management of the business and affairs of the Corporation as the Board of Directors may direct and delegate, except, however, those matters which are required by statute to be reserved unto or acted upon by the entire Board of Directors.
(d) RECORDS. Each such committee shall keep and maintain regular records or minutes of its meetings and report the same to the Board of Directors when required.
(e) CHANGE IN NUMBER. The number of members or alternate members of any committee appointed by the Board of Directors, as herein provided, may be increased or decreased (but not below two) from time to time by appropriate resolution adopted by a majority of the entire Board of Directors.
(f) VACANCIES. Vacancies in the membership of any committee
designated and appointed hereunder shall be filled by the Board of
Directors, at a regular or special meeting of the Board of
Directors, in a manner consistent with the provisions of this
Section 3.9.
(g) REMOVAL. Any member or alternate member of any committee appointed hereunder may be removed by the Board of Directors by the affirmative vote of a majority of the entire Board, whenever in its judgment the best interests of the Corporation will be served thereby.
(h) MEETINGS. The time, place and notice (if any) of committee meetings shall be determined by the members of such committee.
(i) QUORUM; REQUISITE VOTE. At meetings of any committee appointed hereunder, a majority of the number of members designated by the Board of Directors shall constitute a quorum for the transactions of business. The act of a majority of the members and alternate members of the committee present at any meeting at which a quorum is present shall be the act of such committee, except as otherwise specifically provided by statute or by the Certificate of Incorporation or by these Bylaws. If a quorum is not present at a meeting of such committee, the members of such committee present may adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than an announcement at the meeting, until a quorum is present.
(j) COMPENSATION. Appropriate compensation for members and alternate members of any committee appointed pursuant to the authority hereof may be authorized by the action of a majority of the entire Board of Directors pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.10 hereof.
(k) ACTION WITHOUT MEETINGS. Any action required or permitted to be taken at a meeting of any committee may be taken without a meeting if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, is signed by all members of such committee. Such consent shall have the same force and effect as a unanimous vote at a meeting. The signed consent, or a signed copy, shall become a part of the record of such committee.
(l) RESPONSIBILITY. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein, the designation and appointment of a committee and the delegation of authority to it shall not operate to relieve the Board of Directors, or any member thereof, of any responsibility imposed upon it or him by law.
3.10 COMPENSATION. By appropriate resolution of the Board of Directors, the Directors may be reimbursed their expenses, if any, of attendance at each meeting of the Board of Directors and may be paid a fixed sum (as determined from time to time by the vote of a majority of the Directors then in office) for attendance at each meeting of the Board of Directors or a stated salary as Director, or both. No such payment shall preclude any Director from serving the Corporation in another capacity and receiving compensation therefor. Members of special or standing committees may, by appropriate resolution of the Board of Directors, be allowed similar reimbursement of expenses and compensation for attending committee meetings.
3.11 MAINTENANCE OF RECORDS. The Directors may keep the books and records of the Corporation, except such as required by law to be kept within the State, outside the State of Delaware or at such place or places as they may, from time to time, determine.
3.12 INTERESTED DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS. No contract or other transaction between the Corporation and one or more of its Directors or officers, or between the Corporation and any firm which one or more of its Directors or officers are members or employees, or in which they are interested, or between the Corporation and any corporation or association of which one or more of its Directors or officers are stockholders, members, directors, officers, or employees, or in which they are interested, shall be void or voidable solely for this reason, or solely because of the presence of such Director or Directors or officer or officers at the meeting of the Board of Directors of the Corporation, which acts upon, or in reference to, such contract, or transaction, if
(a) the material facts of such relationship or interest shall be disclosed or known to the Board of Directors and the Board of Directors shall, nevertheless in good faith, authorize, approve and ratify such contract or transaction by a vote of a majority of the Directors present, such interested Director or Directors to be counted in determining whether a quorum is present, but not to be counted in calculating the majority of such quorum necessary to carry such vote; (b) the material facts of such relationship or interest as to the contract or transaction are disclosed or are known to the stockholders entitled to vote thereon, and the contract or transaction is specifically approved in good faith by the vote of the stockholders; or (c) the contract or transaction is fair to the Corporation as of the time it is authorized, approved or ratified by the Board of Directors, a committee thereof or the stockholders. The provisions of this Section shall not be construed to invalidate any contract or other transaction which would otherwise be valid under the common and statutory law applicable thereto.
ARTICLE 4
NOTICES
4.1 METHOD OF NOTICE. Whenever under the provisions of the General Corporation Law of Delaware or of the Certificate of Incorporation or of these Bylaws, notice is required to be given to any Director or stockholder, it shall not be construed to mean personal notice, but such notice may be given in writing and delivered personally, through the United States mail, by a recognized delivery service (such as Federal Express) or by means of telegram, telex or facsimile transmission, addressed to such Director or stockholder, at his address or telex or facsimile transmission number, as the case may be, as it appears on the records of the Corporation, with postage and fees thereon prepaid. Such notice shall be deemed to be given at the time when the same shall be deposited in the United States Mail or with an express delivery service or when transmitted by telegram, telex or facsimile transmission or personally delivered, as the case may be.
4.2 WAIVER. Whenever any notice whatever is required to be given under the provisions of the General Corporation Law of Delaware or under the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, a waiver thereof in writing signed by the person or persons entitled to such notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent to the giving of such notice. Attendance by such person or persons, whether in person or by proxy, at any meeting requiring notice shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except where such person attends the meeting for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened.
4.3 EXCEPTION TO REQUIREMENT OF NOTICE. Any notice required to be given to any stockholder under any provision of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws need not be given to the stockholder if: (1) notice of two consecutive annual meetings and all notices of meetings held during the period between those annual meetings, if any, or (2) all (but in no event less than two) payments (if sent by first class mail) of dividends or interest on securities during a twelve-month period have been mailed to that person, addressed at his address as shown on the records of the Corporation, and have been returned undeliverable. Any action or meeting taken or held without notice to such person shall have the same force and effect as if the notice had been duly given and, if the action taken
by the Corporation is reflected in any certificate filed with the Secretary of State, that certificate need not state that notice was not given to persons to whom notice was not required to be given pursuant to this Section. If such a person delivers to the Corporation, a written notice setting forth his then current address, the requirement that notice be given to that person shall be reinstated.
ARTICLE 5
OFFICERS AND AGENTS
5.1 DESIGNATION. The officers of the Corporation shall be chosen by the Board of Directors and shall consist of the offices of:
(a) President and Secretary; and
(b) Such other offices and officers (including a Chairman of the Board, Vice Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Operating Officer, one or more additional Vice Presidents and a Treasurer) and assistant officers and agents as the Board of Directors shall deem necessary.
5.2 ELECTION OF OFFICERS. Each officer designated in Section 5.1(a) hereof shall be elected by the Board of Directors on the expiration of the term of office of such officer, as herein provided, or whenever a vacancy exists in such office. Each officer or agent designated in Section 5.1(b) above may be elected by the Board of Directors at any meeting.
5.3 QUALIFICATIONS. No officer or agent need be a stockholder of the Corporation or a resident of Delaware. No officer or agent is required to be a Director, except the Chairman of the Board. Any two or more offices may be held by the same person.
5.4 TERM OF OFFICE. Unless otherwise specified by the Board of Directors at the time of election or appointment, or by the express provisions of an employment contract approved by the Board, the term of office of each officer and each agent shall expire on the date of the first meeting of the Board of Directors next following the annual meeting of stockholders each year. Each such officer or agent, unless elected or appointed to an additional term, shall serve until the expiration of the term of his office or, if earlier, his death, resignation or removal.
5.5 AUTHORITY. Officers and agents shall have such authority and perform such duties in the management of the Corporation as are provided in these Bylaws or as may be determined by resolution of the Board of Directors not inconsistent with these Bylaws.
5.6 REMOVAL. Any officer or agent elected or appointed by the Board of Directors may be removed with or without cause by the Board of Directors whenever in its judgment the best interests of the Corporation will be served thereby. Such removal shall be without prejudice to the contract rights, if any, of the person so removed. Election or appointment of an officer or agent shall not of itself create contract rights.

indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation from and against any judgments, penalties (including excise taxes), fines, amounts paid in settlement and reasonable expenses (including court costs and attorneys' fees) actually incurred by such settlement and reasonable expenses (including court costs and attorneys' fees) actually incurred by such person in connection with such Proceeding if it is determined that he acted in good faith and reasonably believed (i) in the case of conduct in his official capacity on behalf of the Corporation that his conduct was in the Corporation's best interests, (ii) in all other cases, that his conduct was not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and (iii) with respect to any Proceeding which is a criminal action, that he had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful; provided, however, that in the event a determination is made that such person is liable to the Corporation or is found liable on the basis that personal benefit was improperly received by such person, the indemnification is limited to reasonable expenses actually incurred by such person in connection with the Proceeding and shall not be made in respect of any Proceeding in which such person shall have been found liable for willful or intentional misconduct in the performance of his duty to the Corporation. The termination of any Proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself be determinative of whether the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and with respect to any Proceeding which is a criminal action, had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful. A person shall be deemed to have been found liable in respect of any claim, issue or matter only after the person shall be been so adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction after exhaustion of all appeals therefrom.
6.2 DETERMINATION OF INDEMNIFICATION. Any indemnification under the foregoing Section 6.1 (unless ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction) shall be made by the Corporation only upon a determination that indemnification of such person is proper in the circumstances by virtue of the fact that it shall have been determined that such person has met the applicable standard of conduct. Such determination shall be made (1) by a majority of a quorum consisting of Directors who at the time of the vote are not named defendants or respondents in the Proceeding; (2) if such quorum cannot be obtained, by a majority vote of a committee of the Board of Directors, designated to act in the matter by a majority of all Directors, consisting of two or more Directors who at the time of the vote are not named defendants or respondents in the Proceeding; (3) by special legal counsel (in a written opinion) selected by the Board of Directors or a committee of the Board by a vote as set forth in Subsection (1) or (2) of this Section, or, if such quorum cannot be established, by a majority vote of all Directors (in which Directors who are named defendants or respondents in the Proceeding may participate); or (4) by the stockholders of the Corporation in a vote that excludes the shares held by Directors who are named defendants or respondents in the Proceeding.
6.3 ADVANCE OF EXPENSES. Reasonable expenses, including court costs and attorneys' fees, incurred by a person who was or is a witness or who was or is named as a defendant or respondent in a Proceeding, by reason of the fact that such individual is or was a Director or officer of the Corporation, or while a Director or officer of the Corporation is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, partner, venturer, proprietor, trustee, employee, agent or similar functionary of another corporation, partnership, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, shall be paid by the Corporation at reasonable intervals in advance of the final disposition of such Proceeding, and without the determination set forth in
Section 6.2, upon receipt by the Corporation of a written affirmation by such person of his good faith belief that he has met the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification under this Article 6, and a written undertaking by or on behalf of such person to repay the amount paid or reimbursed by the Corporation if it is ultimately determined that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as authorized in this Article 6. Such written undertaking shall be an unlimited obligation of such person and it may be accepted without reference to financial ability to make repayment.
6.4 PERMISSIVE INDEMNIFICATION. The Board of Directors of the Corporation may authorize the Corporation to indemnify employees or agents of the Corporation, and to advance the reasonable expenses of such persons, to the same extent, following the same determinations and upon the same conditions as are required for the indemnification of and advancement of expenses to Directors and officers of the Corporation.
6.5 NATURE OF INDEMNIFICATION. The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided hereunder shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under the Certificate of Incorporation, these Bylaws, any agreement, vote of stockholder or disinterested Directors or otherwise, both as to actions taken in an official capacity and as to actions taken in any other capacity while holding such office, shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a Director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such person.
6.6 INSURANCE. The Corporation shall have the power and authority to purchase and maintain insurance or another arrangement on behalf of any person who is or was a Director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or who is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, partner, venturer, proprietor, trustee, employee, agent, or similar functionary or another foreign or domestic corporation, partnership, joint venture, sole proprietorship, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, against any liability, claim, damage, loss or risk asserted against such person and incurred by such person in any capacity or arising out of the status of such person as such, irrespective of whether the Corporation would have the power to indemnify and hold such person harmless against such liability under the provisions hereof. If the insurance or other arrangement is with a person or entity that is not regularly engaged in the business of providing insurance coverage, the insurance or arrangement may provide for payment of a liability with respect to which the Corporation would not have the power to indemnify the person only if including coverage for the additional liability has been approved by the stockholders of the Corporation. Without limiting the power of the Corporation to procure or maintain any kind of insurance or other arrangement, the Corporation may, for the benefit of persons indemnified by the Corporation, (1) create a trust fund; (2) establish any form of self-insurance; (3) secure its indemnity obligation by grant of a security interest or other lien on the assets of the Corporation; or (4) establish a letter of credit, guaranty, or surety arrangement. The insurance or other arrangement may be procured, maintained, or established within the Corporation or with any insurer or other person deemed appropriate by the Board of Directors regardless of whether all or part of the stock or other securities of the insurer or other person are owned in whole or in part by the Corporation. In the absence of fraud, the judgment of the Board of Directors as to the terms and conditions of the insurance or other arrangement and the identity of the insurer or other person participating in the arrangement shall be
conclusive and the insurance or arrangement shall not be voidable and shall not subject the Directors approving the insurance or arrangement to liability, on any ground, regardless of whether the Directors participating in the approval is a beneficiary of the insurance or arrangement.

ARTICLE ONE--DEFINITIONS
For purposes of the Plan, unless the context or an alternative definition specified within another Article provides otherwise, the following words and phrases shall have the definitions provided:
1.1 "ACCOUNT" shall mean the individual bookkeeping accounts maintained for a Participant under the Plan which shall record (a) the Participant's allocations of Employer contributions, (b) amounts of Compensation deferred to the Plan pursuant to the Participant's election, (c) any amounts transferred to this Plan under Section 4.3 from another qualified retirement plan, and (d) the allocation of Trust investment experience.
1.2 "ADMINISTRATOR" shall mean the Plan Administrator appointed from time to time in accordance with the provisions of Article Nine hereof.
1.3 "BENEFICIARY" shall mean any person, trust, organization, or estate entitled to receive payment under the terms of the Plan upon the death of a Participant.
1.4 "BREAK IN SERVICE" shall mean the twelve (12)-month computation period specified in Article Two.
1.5 "CODE" shall mean the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to time.
1.6 "COMPENSATION" shall mean the compensation paid to a Participant by the
Employer for the Plan Year, but exclusive of stock options, car allowances,
relocation reimbursements, any program of deferred compensation or additional
benefits payable other than in cash and any compensation received prior to
his becoming a Participant in the Plan. Compensation shall include any
amounts deferred under a salary reduction agreement in accordance with
Section 4.1 or under a Code Section 125 plan maintained by the Employer.
In addition to other applicable limitations set forth in the Plan, and
notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, the annual
Compensation of each Participant taken into account under the Plan shall not
exceed the OBRA `93 annual compensation limit. The OBRA `93 annual
compensation limit is $150,000, as adjusted by the Secretary of the Treasury
or his delegate for increases in the cost of living in accordance with
Section 401(a)(17)(B) of the Code. The cost-of-living adjustment in effect
for a calendar year applies to any period, not exceeding twelve (12) months,
over which Compensation is determined (determination period) beginning in
such calendar year. If a determination period consists of fewer than twelve
(12) months, the OBRA `93 annual compensation limit shall be multiplied by a
fraction, the numerator of which is the number of months in the determination
period, and the denominator of which is twelve (12).
Any reference in the Plan to the limitation under Section 401(a)(17) of the Code shall mean the OBRA `93 annual compensation limit set forth in this provision.
If Compensation for any prior determination period is taken into account in determining a Participant's benefits accruing in the current Plan Year, the Compensation for that prior determination period is subject to the OBRA `93 annual compensation limit in effect for that prior determination period.
For purposes of determining who is a Highly-Compensated Employee, Compensation shall mean compensation as defined in Code Section 414(q)(7).
1.7 "DISABILITY." Disability shall mean a "permanent and total" disability incurred by a Participant while in the employ of the Employer. For this purpose, a permanent and total disability shall mean suffering from a physical or mental condition that, in the opinion of the Administrator and based upon appropriate medical advice and examination, can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of no less than twelve (12) months. The condition must be determined by the Administrator to prevent the Participant from engaging in substantial gainful employment. Receipt of a Social Security disability award shall be deemed proof of disability.
1.8 "EFFECTIVE DATE." The Effective Date of this restated Plan, on and after which it supersedes the terms of the existing Plan document, is April 1, 1997, except where the provisions of the Plan shall otherwise specifically provide. The rights of any Participant who separated from the Employer's Service prior to this date shall be established under the terms of the Plan and Trust as in effect at the time of the Participant's separation from Service, unless the Participant subsequently returns to Service with the Employer. Rights of spouses and Beneficiaries of such Participants shall also be governed by those documents.
1.9 "EMPLOYEE" shall mean a common law employee of the Employer who, for the entire period of his employment, was also treated as a common law employee on the payroll records of the Employer.
1.10 "EMPLOYER" shall mean Intrusion.com, Inc. and any subsidiary or affiliate which is a member of its "related group" (as defined in Section 2.5) which has adopted the Plan (a "Participating Affiliate"), and shall include any successor(s) thereto which adopt this Plan. Any such subsidiary or affiliate of Intrusion.com, Inc. may adopt the Plan with the approval of its board of directors (or noncorporate counterpart) subject to the approval of Intrusion.com, Inc. The provisions of this Plan shall apply equally to each Participating Affiliate and its Employees except as specifically set forth in the Plan; provided, however, notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, the amount and timing of contributions under Article 4 to be made by any Employer which is a Participating Affiliate shall be made subject to the approval of Intrusion.com, Inc. For purposes hereof, each Participating Affiliate shall be deemed to have appointed Intrusion.com, Inc. as its agent to act on its behalf in all matters relating to the administration, amendment, termination of the Plan and the investment of the assets of the Plan. For purposes of the Code and ERISA, the Plan as maintained by
Intrusion.com, Inc. and the Participating Affiliates shall constitute a single plan rather than a separate plan of each Participating Affiliate. All assets in the Trust shall be available to pay benefits to all Participants and their Beneficiaries.
1.11 "EMPLOYMENT DATE" shall mean the first date as of which an Employee is credited with an Hour of Service, provided that, in the case of a Break in Service, the Employment Date shall be the first date thereafter as of which an Employee is credited with an Hour of Service.
1.12 "HIGHLY-COMPENSATED EMPLOYEE" shall mean any Employee of the Employer who:
(a) was a five percent (5%) owner of the Employer (as defined in Code
Section 416(i)(1)) during the "determination year" or "look-back
year"; or
(b) earned more than $80,000 (as increased by cost-of-living adjustments) of Compensation from the Employer during the "look-back year" and, if the Employer elects, was in the top twenty percent (20%) of Employees by Compensation for such year.
An Employee who separated from Service prior to the "determination year" shall be treated as a Highly-Compensated Employee for the "determination year" if such Employee was a Highly-Compensated Employee when such Employee separated from Service, or was a Highly-Compensated Employee at any time after attaining age fifty-five (55).
For purposes of this Section, the "determination year" shall be the Plan Year
for which a determination is being made as to whether an Employee is a
Highly-Compensated Employee. The "look-back year" shall be the twelve (12)
month period immediately preceding the "determination year". However, if
permitted by applicable law and if the Employer shall elect, the "look-back
year" shall be the calendar year ending with or within the Plan Year for
which testing for the determination of which Employees are Highly-Compensated
Employees is being performed, and the "determination year" (if applicable)
shall be the period of time, if any, which extends beyond the "look-back
year" and ends on the last day of the Plan Year for which such testing is
being performed (the "lag period"). If the "lag period" is less than twelve
(12) months, the dollar threshold amounts specified in (b) above shall be
pro-rated based upon the number of months in the "lag period".
1.13 "HOUR OF SERVICE" shall mean: (a) each hour for which an Employee is paid or entitled to payment for the performance of duties for the Employer. These hours shall be credited to the Employee for the computation period in which the duties are performed; and (b) each hour for which an Employee is paid, or entitled to payment, by the Employer on account of a period of time during which no duties are performed (irrespective of whether the employment relationship has terminated) due to vacation, holiday, illness, incapacity (including disability), layoff, jury duty, involuntary military duty, or leave of absence. No more than five hundred and one (501) Hours of Service shall be credited under this |
subsection for any single continuous period during which no duties are performed (whether or not such period occurs in a single computation period). Hours under this subsection shall be calculated and credited pursuant to Section 2530.200b-2(b) and (c) of the Department of Labor Regulations which are incorporated herein by this reference; and (c) each hour for which back pay, irrespective of mitigation of damages, is either awarded or agreed to by the Employer. The same Hours of Service shall not be credited both under subsection (a) or subsection (b), as the case may be, and under this subsection (c). These hours shall be credited to the Employee for the computation period or periods to which the award or agreement pertains rather than the computation period in which the award, agreement, or payment is made. |
In crediting Hours of Service for Employees who are paid on an hourly basis, the "actual" method shall be utilized. For this purpose, the "actual" method shall mean the determination of Hours of Service from records of hours worked and hours for which the Employer makes payment or for which payment is due from the Employer, subject to the limitations enumerated above. In crediting Hours of Service for Employees who are not paid on an hourly basis, the "weeks of employment" method shall be utilized. Under this method, an Employee shall be credited with forty-five (45) Hours of Service for each week for which the Employee would be required to be credited with at least one (1) Hour of Service pursuant to the provisions enumerated above.
1.14 "LEASED EMPLOYEE" shall mean any person who, pursuant to an agreement
between the Employer and any other person or organization, has performed
services for the Employer (determined in accordance with Code Section
414(n)(6)) on a substantially full-time basis for a period of at least one
(1) year and where such services are performed under the primary direction
and control of the Employer. A person shall not be considered a Leased
Employee if the total number of Leased Employees does not exceed twenty
percent (20%) of the Nonhighly-Compensated Employees employed by the
Employer, and if any such person is covered by a money purchase pension plan
providing (a) a nonintegrated employer contribution rate of at least ten
percent (10%) of compensation, as defined in Section 11.1(b)(2) of the Plan
but including amounts contributed pursuant to a salary reduction agreement
which are excludable from the employee's gross income under Code Sections
125, 402(g) or 403(b), (b) immediate participation, and (c) full and
immediate vesting.
1.15 "NONHIGHLY-COMPENSATED EMPLOYEE" shall mean an Employee of the Employer who is not a Highly-Compensated Employee.
1.16 "NORMAL RETIREMENT DATE" shall mean a Participant's sixty-fifth (65th) birthday or, if later, the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Participant's commencement of initial Plan participation.
1.17 "PARTICIPANT" shall mean any Employee who has satisfied the eligibility requirements of Article Three and who is participating in the Plan.
1.18 "PLAN" shall mean the Amended and Restated Intrusion.com 401(k) Savings Plan, as set forth herein and as may be amended from time to time.
1.19 "PLAN YEAR" shall mean the twelve (12)-consecutive month period beginning January 1 and ending December 31.
1.20 "TRUST" shall mean the Trust Agreement entered into between the Employer and the Trustee forming part of this Plan, together with any amendments thereto. "Trust Fund" shall mean any and all property held by the Trustee pursuant to the Trust Agreement, together with income therefrom.
1.21 "TRUSTEE" shall mean the Trustee or Trustees appointed by the Employer, and any successors thereto.
1.22 "VALUATION DATE" shall mean the date or dates established by the Administrator for the valuation of the assets of the Plan. In no event shall the assets of the Plan be valued less frequently than once each Plan Year.
1.23 "YEAR OF SERVICE" OR "SERVICE" and the special rules with respect to crediting Service are in Article Two of the Plan.
ARTICLE TWO--SERVICE DEFINITIONS AND RULES
Service is the period of employment credited under the Plan. Definitions and special rules related to Service are as follows:
2.1 YEAR OF SERVICE. An Employee shall be credited with a Year of Service for each Plan Year in which he is credited with at least one thousand (1,000) Hours of Service.
Any Employee who was employed by Essential Communications Corporation ("Essential Communications") as of the date of its acquisition by the Employer, shall be credited with any prior service with Essential Communications in determining such Employee's Year(s) of Service.
Any Employee who was employed by Science Applications International Corporation ("SAIC") as of the date of the Employer's acquisition of certain operating assets of SAIC, shall be credited with any prior service with SAIC in determining such Employee's Year(s) of Service.
2.2 BREAK IN SERVICE. A Break in Service shall be a twelve (12)-month
computation period (as used for measuring Years of Service) in which an
Employee or Participant is not credited with at least five hundred and one
(501) Hours of Service.
2.3 LEAVE OF ABSENCE. A Participant on an unpaid leave of absence pursuant to the Employer's normal personnel policies shall be credited with Hours of Service at his regularly-scheduled weekly rate while on such leave, provided the Employer acknowledges in writing that the leave is with its approval. These Hours of Service shall be credited only for purposes of determining if a Break in Service has occurred and, unless specified otherwise by the Employer in writing, shall not be credited for eligibility to participate in the Plan, vesting, or qualification to receive an allocation of Employer contributions. Hours of Service during a paid leave of absence shall be credited as provided in Section 1.13.
For any individual who is absent from work for any period by reason of the individual's pregnancy, birth of the individual's child, placement of a child with the individual in connection with the individual's adoption of the child, or by reason of the individual's caring for the child for a period beginning immediately following such birth or adoption, the Plan shall treat as Hours of Service, solely for determining if a Break in Service has occurred, the following Hours of Service:
(a) the Hours of Service which otherwise normally would have been credited to such individual but for such absence; or
(b) in any case where the Administrator is unable to determine the Hours of Service, on the basis of an assumed eight (8) hours per day.
In no event shall more than five hundred and one (501) of such hours be credited by reason of such period of absence. The Hours of Service shall be credited in the computation period (used for
measuring Years of Service) which starts after the leave of absence begins. However, the Hours of Service shall instead be credited in the computation period in which the absence begins if it is necessary to credit the Hours of Service in that computation period to avoid the occurrence of a Break in Service.
2.4 HOURS OF SERVICE ON RETURN TO EMPLOYMENT. An Employee who returns to employment after a Break in Service shall retain credit for his pre-Break Years of Service; provided, however, that if a Participant incurs five (5) or more consecutive Breaks in Service, any Years of Service performed thereafter shall not be used to increase the nonforfeitable interest in his Account accrued prior to such five (5) or more consecutive Breaks in Service.
2.5 SERVICE IN EXCLUDED JOB CLASSIFICATIONS OR WITH RELATED COMPANIES.
(a) SERVICE WHILE A MEMBER OF AN INELIGIBLE CLASSIFICATION OF EMPLOYEES. An Employee who is a member of an ineligible classification of Employees shall not be eligible to participate in the Plan while a member of such ineligible classification. However, if any such Employee is transferred to an eligible classification, such Employee shall be credited with any prior periods of Service completed while a member of such an ineligible classification both for purposes of determining his Years of Service and his "Months of Service" under Section 3.1. For this purpose, an Employee shall be considered a member of an ineligible classification of Employees for any period during which: (i) he is a Leased Employee; or (ii) he is employed in a job classification which is excluded from participating in the Plan under Section 3.1 below.
(b) SERVICE WITH RELATED GROUP MEMBERS. For each Plan Year in which
the Employer is a member of a "related group", as hereinafter
defined, all Service of an Employee with any one or more members
of such related group shall be treated as employment by the
Employer for purposes of determining the Employee's Years of
Service under Section 2.1 and his Months of Service under Section
3.1. The transfer of employment by any such Employee to another
member of the related group shall not be deemed to constitute a
retirement or other termination of employment by the Employee for
purposes of the Plan, but the Employee shall be deemed to have
continued in employment with the Employer for purposes hereof.
For purposes of this subsection (b), "related group" shall mean
the Employer and all corporations, trades or businesses (whether
or not incorporated) which constitute a controlled group of
corporations with the Employer, a group of trades or businesses
under common control with the Employer, or an affiliated service
group which includes the Employer, within the meaning of Section
414(b), Section 414(c), or Section 414(m), respectively, of the
Code or any other entity required to be aggregated under Code
Section 414(o).
(c) CONSTRUCTION. This Section is included in the Plan to comply with the Code provisions regarding the crediting of Service, and not to extend any additional rights to Employees in ineligible classifications other than as required by the Code and regulations thereunder.
ARTICLE THREE--PLAN PARTICIPATION
3.1 PARTICIPATION. All Employees participating in the Plan prior to the Plan's restatement shall continue to participate, subject to the terms hereof.
Each other Employee shall become a Participant under the Plan effective as of the first day of the month following the Employee's Employment Date.
In no event, however, shall any Employee (or other individual) participate under the Plan while he is: (i) employed as an independent contractor on the payroll records of the Employer (regardless of any subsequent reclassification by the Employer, any governmental agency or court); (ii) employed as a Leased Employee; or (iii) employed as a nonresident alien who receives no earned income (within the meaning of Section 911(d)(2) of the Code) from the Employer which constitutes income from sources within the United States (within the meaning of Section 816(a)(3) of the Code).
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.1, any Employee who was employed by Essential Communications Corporation ("Essential Communications") as of the date of its acquisition by the Employer, shall be credited with any prior service with Essential Communications in determining such Employee's Month(s) of Service. In this regard, any such Employee who was credited with at least three (3) Months of Service pursuant to the preceding sentence, shall become a Participant under the Plan as of May 29, 1998, or as soon as administratively practical thereafter, subject to the terms hereof.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.1, any Employee who was employed by Science Applications International Corporation ("SAIC") as of the date of the Employer's acquisition of certain operating assets of SAIC, shall be credited with any prior service with SAIC in determining such Employee's Month(s) of Service. In this regard, any such Employee who was credited with at least three (3) Months of Service pursuant to the preceding sentence, shall become a Participant under the Plan as of October 1, 1998, or as soon as administratively practical thereafter, subject to the terms hereof."
3.2 RE-EMPLOYMENT OF FORMER PARTICIPANT. A Participant whose participation ceased because of termination of employment with the Employer shall participate as soon as administratively possible following his re-employment.
3.3 TERMINATION OF ELIGIBILITY. In the event a Participant is no longer a member of an eligible class of Employees and he becomes ineligible to participate, such Employee shall participate as soon as administratively possible following his return to an eligible class of Employees.
In the event an Employee who is not a member of an eligible class of Employees becomes a member of an eligible class, such Employee shall participate as soon as administratively possible thereafter, if such Employee has satisfied the eligibility requirements of Section 3.1 and would have otherwise previously become a Participant.
ARTICLE FOUR--ELECTIVE DEFERRALS, EMPLOYER CONTRIBUTIONS,
ROLLOVERS AND TRANSFERS FROM OTHER PLANS
4.1 ELECTIVE DEFERRALS.
(a) ELECTIONS. A Participant may elect to defer a portion of his Compensation for a Plan Year. The amount of a Participant's Compensation that is deferred in accordance with the Participant's election shall be withheld by the Employer from the Participant's Compensation on a ratable basis throughout the Plan Year. The amount deferred on behalf of each Participant shall be contributed by the Employer to the Plan and allocated to the Participant's Account.
(b) CHANGES IN ELECTION. A Participant may prospectively elect to change or revoke the amount (or percentage) of his elective deferrals during the Plan Year by filing a written election with the Employer, or via a telephone "voice response" system designated by the Administrator, provided that a written confirmation is forwarded in response to such oral request.
(c) LIMITATIONS ON DEFERRALS. No Participant shall defer an amount which exceeds $9,500 (or such amount as adjusted for cost-of-living increases under Section 402(g) of the Code) for any calendar year ending with or within the Plan Year.
(d) ADMINISTRATIVE RULES. All elections made under this Section 4.1, including the amount and frequency of deferrals, shall be subject to the rules of the Administrator which shall be consistently applied and which may be changed from time to time.
4.2 EMPLOYER CONTRIBUTIONS.
(a) EMPLOYER MATCHING CONTRIBUTIONS. For each Plan Year, the Employer may
contribute to the Plan, on behalf of each Participant, a discretionary
matching contribution equal to a percentage (as determined by the
Employer's board of directors) of the elective deferrals made by each
such Participant. The amount, if any, of the Employer matching
contribution for any Plan Year shall be made at the discretion of the
board of directors of the Employer. The Employer's board of directors
may also determine to suspend or reduce its contributions under this
Section for any Plan Year or any portion thereof. Allocations under
this Section shall be subject to the special rules of Section 13.3 in
any Plan Year in which the Plan is a Top-Heavy Plan (as defined in
Section 13.2(c)).
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.2(a), if a Participant's elective deferrals for a Plan Year reach the maximum amount set out in Section 4.1(c) and, as a result, the Participant is not eligible to make elective deferrals to the Plan for the balance of such Plan Year, if such Participant is employed by the Employer on the last day of such Plan Year, such Participant shall receive a supplemental matching contribution following the close of such Plan Year in an amount equal to the percentage (as determined by the Employer's board of directors for such Plan Year) of the Participant's Compensation
contributed to the Plan as elective deferrals for such Plan Year, minus the amount of the Employer matching contribution previously made on behalf of such Participant for such Plan Year.
(b) ADDITIONAL EMPLOYER CONTRIBUTIONS. Additional Employer contributions may be made at the discretion of the Employer's board of directors for any Plan Year, subject to limits for tax deductions under the Code and provided that the special allocation in Section 13.3 has been satisfied if the Plan is a Top-Heavy Plan (as defined in Section 13.2(c)).
(c) ELIGIBILITY FOR ADDITIONAL EMPLOYER CONTRIBUTIONS. To be eligible for an allocation of additional Employer contributions under Section 4.2(b) for a Plan Year, a Participant must have been credited with at least one thousand (1,000) Hours of Service in the Plan Year; provided, however, that if the Participant's failure to be credited with at least one thousand (1,000) Hours of Service is due to the Participant's Disability, death or retirement on or after his Normal Retirement Date during the Plan Year, such Participant shall nevertheless be entitled to share in the allocation of any additional Employer contributions for such Plan Year.
(d) ALLOCATION OF ADDITIONAL EMPLOYER CONTRIBUTIONS. Any contribution made under Section 4.2(b) shall be allocated among the Accounts of eligible Participants in accordance with the ratio that each such eligible Participant's Compensation bears to the total Compensation of all such eligible Participants for the Plan Year.
(e) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in any situation where the exclusion of certain Participants from receiving an allocation of any additional Employer contributions hereunder would result in the Plan failing to satisfy minimum coverage requirements under applicable provisions of the Code or income tax regulations, then the following shall apply:
(1) Such affected Participants shall receive an allocation of additional Employer contributions in order of priority based upon the number of Hours of Service rendered during the Plan Year by each Participant, so that an individual Participant who has rendered more Hours of Service during the Plan Year shall be first deemed an eligible Participant, and so on, until the minimum required number of eligible Participants is reached to satisfy the requirements for qualification of this Plan.
(2) If two individuals referred to in subsection (1) have the same number of Hours of Service, then they shall be deemed eligible Participants in order of a priority based upon the earliest Employment Date with the Employer.
4.3 ROLLOVERS AND TRANSFERS OF FUNDS FROM OTHER PLANS. With the approval of the Administrator, there may be paid to the Trustee amounts which have been held under other plans qualified under Code Section 401 either (a) maintained by the Employer which have been discontinued or terminated with respect to any Employee, or (b) maintained by another employer with respect to which any Employee has ceased to participate. Any such transfer or rollover may also be made by means of an Individual Retirement Account qualified under Section 408 of the Code, where the Individual Retirement Account was used as a conduit from the former plan. Any amounts so
transferred on behalf of any Employee shall be nonforfeitable and shall be maintained under a separate Plan account, to be paid in addition to amounts otherwise payable under this Plan. The amount of any such account shall be equal to the fair market value of such account as adjusted for income, expenses, gains, losses, and withdrawals attributable thereto.
Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Administrator accept on behalf of any Employee a transfer of funds from a qualified plan which would subject the Plan to the provisions of Section 401(a)(11) of the Code.
An Employee who would otherwise be eligible to participate in the Plan but for the failure to satisfy the age and/or service requirement for participation as set forth under Section 3.1, shall be eligible to complete a rollover to the Plan. Such an Employee shall also be eligible to obtain a loan or withdrawal in accordance with the provisions of Article Eight prior to satisfying such age and/or service requirement.
4.4 TIMING OF CONTRIBUTIONS. Employer contributions shall be made to the Plan no later than the time prescribed by law for filing the Employer's Federal income tax return (including extensions) for its taxable year ending with or within the Plan Year. Elective deferrals under Section 4.1 shall be paid to the Plan as soon as administratively possible, but no later than the time prescribed by applicable law, following receipt of such deferrals by the Administrator.
ARTICLE FIVE--ACCOUNTING RULES
5.1 INVESTMENT OF ACCOUNTS AND ACCOUNTING RULES.
(a) INVESTMENT FUNDS. The investment of Participants' Accounts shall be made in a manner consistent with the provisions of the Trust. The Administrator, in its discretion, may allow the Trust to provide for separate funds for the directed investment of each Participant's Account, including an Employer stock fund.
(b) PARTICIPANT DIRECTION OF INVESTMENTS. In the event Participants' Accounts are subject to their investment direction, each Participant may direct how his Account is to be invested among the available investment funds in the percentage multiples established by the Administrator. In the event a Participant fails to make an investment election, with respect to all or any portion of his Account, the Trustee shall invest all or such portion of his Account in the investment fund to be designated by the Administrator. A Participant may change his investment election, with respect to future contributions and, if applicable, forfeitures, and/or amounts previously accumulated in the Participant's Account, in writing, on such form as the Administrator shall specify, or via a telephone "voice response" system designated by the Administrator, provided that a written confirmation is forwarded in response to such oral request. Any such change in a Participant's investment election shall be effective at such time as may be prescribed by the Administrator. If the Plan's recordkeeper or investment manager is changed, the Administrator may suspend the Participants' investment direction of their Accounts.
(c) ALLOCATION OF INVESTMENT EXPERIENCE. As of each Valuation Date, the investment fund(s) of the Trust shall be valued at fair market value, and the income, loss, appreciation and depreciation (realized and unrealized), and any paid expenses of the Trust attributable to such fund shall be apportioned among Participants' Accounts within the fund based upon the value of each Account within the fund as of the preceding Valuation Date.
(d) ALLOCATION OF CONTRIBUTIONS. Employer contributions shall be allocated to the Account of each eligible Participant as of the last day of the period for which the contributions are made or as soon as administratively practical thereafter. Elective deferrals shall be allocated to the Account of each Participant as soon as administratively practical following receipt of such contributions by the Administrator.
(e) MANNER AND TIME OF DEBITING DISTRIBUTIONS. For any Participant who is entitled to receive a distribution from his Account, such distribution shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.2. The amount distributed shall be based upon the fair market value of the Participant's vested Account as of the Valuation Date preceding the distribution.
5.2 PARTICIPANTS OMITTED IN ERROR. In the event a Participant is not allocated a share of the Employer contribution as a result of an administrative error in any Plan Year, the Employer may elect to either (a) make an additional contribution on behalf of such omitted Participant in an appropriate amount, or (b) deduct the appropriate amount from the next succeeding Employer
contribution and/or forfeitures and allocate such amount to the Participant's Account prior to making the allocations set forth under Section 5.1(d).
ARTICLE SIX--VESTING, RETIREMENT AND DISABILITY BENEFITS
6.1 VESTING. A Participant shall at all times have a nonforfeitable (vested) right to his Account derived from elective deferrals, Employer "fail-safe" contributions under Section 10.2, and rollovers or transfers from other plans, as adjusted for investment experience. Except as otherwise provided with respect to Normal Retirement, Disability, or death, a Participant shall have a nonforfeitable (vested) right to a percentage of the value of his Account derived from Employer matching contributions under Section 4.2(a) and additional Employer contributions under Section 4.2(b) as follows:
YEARS OF SERVICE VESTED PERCENTAGE ---------------- ----------------- LESS THAN 1 YEAR 0% 1 YEAR BUT LESS THAN 2 20% 2 YEARS BUT LESS THAN 3 40% 3 YEARS BUT LESS THAN 4 60% 4 YEARS BUT LESS THAN 5 80% 5 YEARS AND THEREAFTER 100% |
6.2 FORFEITURE OF NONVESTED BALANCE. The nonvested portion of a Participant's Account, as determined in accordance with Section 6.1, shall be forfeited as of the earlier of (i) the date on which the Participant receives distribution of his vested Account or (ii) the last day of the Plan Year in which the Participant incurs five (5) consecutive Breaks in Service. The amount forfeited shall be used to reduce Employer contributions under Section 4.2.
If the Participant returns to the employment of the Employer prior to incurring five (5) consecutive Breaks in Service, and prior to receiving distribution of his vested Account, the nonvested portion shall be restored. However, if the nonvested portion of the Participant's Account was allocated as a forfeiture as the result of the Participant receiving distribution of his vested Account balance, the nonvested portion shall be restored if:
(a) the Participant resumes employment prior to incurring five (5) consecutive Breaks in Service; and
(b) the Participant repays to the Plan, as of the earlier of (i) the date which is five (5) years after his reemployment date or (ii) the date which is the last day of the period in which the Participant incurs five (5) consecutive Breaks in Service, an amount equal to the total distribution derived from Employer contributions under Section 4.2 and, if applicable, Section 13.3.
The nonvested amount shall be restored to the Participant's Account, without interest or adjustment for interim Trust valuation experience, by a special Employer contribution or from the next succeeding Employer contribution and forfeitures, as appropriate.
6.3 RETURN TO EMPLOYMENT BEFORE DISTRIBUTION OF VESTED ACCOUNT BALANCE. If distribution is made to an Employee of less than the Employee's entire vested Account, and if the Employee returns to Service, a separate record shall be maintained of said Account balance. The Employee's vested interest at any time in this separate account shall be an amount equal to the formula P(AB+D)-D, where P is the vested percentage at the relevant time, AB is the Account balance at the relevant time, and D is the amount of the distribution made to the Employee.
6.4 NORMAL RETIREMENT. A Participant who is in the employment of the Employer at his Normal Retirement Date shall have a nonforfeitable interest in one hundred percent (100%) of his Account, if not otherwise one hundred percent (100%) vested under the vesting schedule in Section 6.1. A Participant who continues employment with the Employer after his Normal Retirement Date shall continue to participate under the Plan.
6.5 DISABILITY. If a Participant incurs a Disability, the Participant shall have a nonforfeitable interest in one hundred percent (100%) of his Account, if not otherwise one hundred percent (100%) vested under the vesting schedule in Section 6.1. Payment of such Participant's Account balance shall be made at the time and in the manner specified in Article Seven, following receipt by the Administrator of the Participant's written distribution request.
ARTICLE SEVEN--MANNER AND TIME OF DISTRIBUTING BENEFITS
7.1 MANNER OF PAYMENT. The Participant's vested Account shall be distributed to the Participant (or to the Participant's Beneficiary in the event of the Participant's death) by any of the following methods, as elected by the Participant or, when applicable, the Participant's Beneficiary:
(a) in a single lump-sum payment; or
(b) provided the Participant's vested Account exceeds $5,000, in monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual installments, subject to the minimum distribution rules of Section 7.4.
However, if any portion of a Participant's vested Account is invested in the Employer stock fund, the Participant may elect to receive such portion of his Account, in a single sum payment, in the form of shares of stock; provided, however, that fractional shares and the cash equivalent portions of such fund shall be distributed in cash.
7.2 TIME OF COMMENCEMENT OF BENEFIT PAYMENTS. Distribution of the Participant's Account balance for a Participant who terminates employment on or after his Normal Retirement Date, or as a result of his Disability, may be made or commence as soon as administratively possible thereafter; provided, however, that if the amount required to be distributed cannot be ascertained by such date, distribution shall be made no later than sixty (60) days after the earliest date on which such amount can be ascertained; and provided, further, that, subject to the following provisions of this Section 7.2, distribution shall not be made or commence unless the Participant otherwise requests in writing. In such event, distribution shall commence as soon as administratively practical following receipt by the Administrator of the Participant's written request.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Participant's vested Account does not exceed $5,000, the Participant's vested Account shall be distributed to the Participant (or, in the event of the Participant's death, his Beneficiary) in a lump-sum payment as soon as administratively practicable following the date the Participant retires, dies or otherwise separates from Service.
Notwithstanding any provision contained herein to the contrary, a Participant who is not vested in any portion of his Account balance attributable to Employer contributions shall be deemed to have received distribution of such portion of his Account as of the end of the Plan Year in which he incurs a Break in Service.
A Participant who terminates employment after his Normal Retirement Date may elect to defer receipt of his Account. In no event, however, shall distribution under the Plan be made or commence later than the April 1st following the end of the calendar year in which the Participant attains age seventy and one-half (70-1/2) or, except for a Participant who is a five percent (5%) owner of the Employer (within the meaning of Section 401(a)(9) of the Code), if later, the April 1st following the calendar year in which the Participant retires or otherwise separates from Service.
7.3 FURNISHING INFORMATION. Prior to the payment of any benefit under the Plan, each Participant or Beneficiary may be required to complete such administrative forms and furnish such proof as may be deemed necessary or appropriate by the Employer, Administrator, and/or Trustee.
7.4 MINIMUM DISTRIBUTION RULES FOR INSTALLMENT PAYMENTS. If a distribution is made in installments the following rules shall apply:
(a) PAYMENTS TO PARTICIPANT OR TO PARTICIPANT AND SURVIVING SPOUSE.
Payment shall commence no later than a date provided for in Section
7.2. The amount to be distributed each year shall be at least equal to
the vested balance in the Participant's Account as of the preceding
Valuation Date multiplied by the following fraction: the numerator
shall be one (1) and the denominator shall be the life expectancy of
the Participant (or the joint life expectancies of the Participant and
the Participant's spouse) determined as of the Valuation Date
preceding the first payment and reduced by one for each succeeding
year.
(b) PAYMENTS TO PARTICIPANT AND NON-SPOUSE BENEFICIARY. Payment shall
commence no later than a date provided for in Section 7.2. The amount
to be distributed each year shall be at least equal to the vested
balance in the Participant's Account as of the preceding Valuation
Date multiplied by the following fraction: the numerator shall be one
(1) and the denominator shall be the joint life expectancies of the
Participant and the Participant's Beneficiary computed as of the
Valuation Date preceding the first payment and reduced by one (1) for
each succeeding year. Payments shall be restricted under this option
to insure compliance with the minimum distribution incidental death
benefit requirement of Section 401(a)(9) of the Code and the
regulations promulgated thereunder.
(c) PAYMENTS TO BENEFICIARY. Payment shall commence no later than a date provided for in Section 7.7. The amount to be distributed each year shall be at least equal to the vested balance in the Participant's Account as of the preceding Valuation Date multiplied by the following fraction: the numerator shall be one (1) and the denominator shall be the life expectancy of the Participant's Beneficiary computed as of the Valuation Date preceding the first payment and reduced by one (1) for each succeeding year.
(d) RECALCULATION OF LIFE EXPECTANCY. If distribution is to be made over the life expectancy of the Participant or, where the Participant's spouse is his Beneficiary, the life expectancy of the Participant's surviving spouse, or the joint life expectancies of the Participant and his spouse, such life expectancy or joint life expectancies, at the election of the Participant or his surviving spouse, as the case may be, may be recalculated annually. Any such election shall be irrevocable as to the Participant (and spouse, if applicable) and shall apply to all subsequent years. In no event, however, shall the life expectancy of a non-spouse Beneficiary be recalculated.
7.5 AMOUNT OF DEATH BENEFIT.
(a) DEATH BEFORE TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT. In the event of the death of a Participant while in the employ of the Employer, vesting in the Participant's Account shall be one hundred
percent (100%), if not otherwise one hundred percent (100%) vested under Section 6.1, with the credit balance of the Participant's Account being payable to his Beneficiary.
(b) DEATH AFTER TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT. In the event of the death of a former Participant after termination of employment, but prior to the complete distribution of his vested Account balance under the Plan, the undistributed vested balance of the Participant's Account shall be paid to the Participant's Beneficiary.
7.6 DESIGNATION OF BENEFICIARY. Each Participant shall file with the Administrator a designation of Beneficiary to receive payment of any death benefit payable hereunder if such Beneficiary should survive the Participant. However, no Participant who is married shall be permitted to designate a Beneficiary other than his spouse unless the Participant's spouse has signed a written consent witnessed by a Plan representative or a notary public, which provides for the designation of an alternate Beneficiary.
Subject to the above, Beneficiary designations may include primary and contingent Beneficiaries, and may be revoked or amended at any time in similar manner or form, and the most recent designation shall govern. In the absence of an effective designation of Beneficiary, or if the Beneficiary dies before complete distribution of the Participant's vested Account, all amounts shall be paid to the surviving spouse of the Participant, if living, or otherwise to the Participant's estate. Notification to Participants of the death benefits under the Plan and the method of designating a Beneficiary shall be given at the time and in the manner provided by regulations and rulings under the Code.
7.7 DISTRIBUTION OF DEATH BENEFITS. Distribution of any death benefit hereunder shall be made within one (1) year of the Participant's death or, in the case of a surviving spouse, within a reasonable time after the Participant's death or, if the surviving spouse so elects and if the Participant's vested Account exceeds $3,500, no later than the date on which the Participant would have reached age seventy and one-half (70-1/2). If a surviving spouse dies before distributions to the spouse begin, this paragraph shall be applied as if the surviving spouse were the Participant.
To the extent payments are not designated to or for the benefit of a natural person, or if payments commence after the required time, the following distribution modes shall be available:
(a) a lump sum payable at any time within five (5) years of the Participant's death; and
(b) payments of installments at such time and in such amount as determined by the Beneficiary, provided that all amounts must be paid from the Trust within five (5) years of the Participant's death.
If a Participant dies after payments have commenced, any survivor's benefit must be paid no less rapidly than the method of payment in effect at the time of the Participant's death.
7.8 ELIGIBLE ROLLOVER DISTRIBUTIONS. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article Seven, the provisions of this Section 7.8 shall apply to distributions made under the Plan.
(a) A distributee may elect, at the time and in the manner prescribed by the Administrator, to have any portion of an eligible rollover distribution paid directly to an eligible retirement plan specified by the distributee in a direct rollover.
(b) Definitions:
(i) ELIGIBLE ROLLOVER DISTRIBUTION. An eligible rollover distribution is any distribution of all or any portion of the balance to the credit of the distributee, except that an eligible rollover distribution does not include: any distribution that is one of a series of substantially equal periodic payments (not less frequently than annually) made for the life (or life expectancy) of the distributee or the joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of the distributee and the distributee's designated Beneficiary, or for a specified period of ten (10) years or more; any distribution to the extent such distribution is required under Section 401(a)(9) of the Code; and the portion of any distribution that is not includable in gross income (determined without regard to the exclusion for net unrealized appreciation with respect to employer securities).
(ii) ELIGIBLE RETIREMENT PLAN. An eligible retirement plan is an individual retirement account described in Section 408(a) of the Code, an individual retirement annuity described in Section 408(b) of the Code, an annuity plan described in Section 403(a) of the Code or a qualified trust described in Section 401(a) of the Code, that accepts the distributee's eligible rollover distribution. However, in the case of an eligible rollover distribution to the surviving spouse, an eligible retirement plan is an individual retirement account or individual retirement annuity.
(iii) DISTRIBUTEE. A distributee includes an Employee or former Employee. In addition, the Employee's or former Employee's surviving spouse and the Employee's or former Employee's spouse or former spouse who is the alternate payee under a qualified domestic relations order, as defined in Section 414(p) of the Code, are distributees with regard to the interest of the spouse or former spouse.
(iv) DIRECT ROLLOVER. A direct rollover is a payment by the Plan to the eligible retirement plan specified by the distributee.
(c) If a distribution is one to which Sections 401(a)(11) and 417 of the Code do not apply, such distribution may commence less than 30 days after the notice required under Section 1.411(a)-11(c) of the Income Tax Regulations is given, provided that:
(i) the Administrator clearly informs the Participant that the Participant has a right to a period of at least 30 days after receiving the notice to consider the decision of whether or not to elect a distribution (and, if applicable, a particular distribution option), and
(ii) the Participant, after receiving the notice, affirmatively elects a distribution.
ARTICLE EIGHT--LOANS AND IN-SERVICE WITHDRAWALS
8.1 LOANS.
(a) PERMISSIBLE AMOUNT AND PROCEDURES. Upon the application of a Participant, the Administrator may, in accordance with a uniform and nondiscriminatory policy, direct the Trustee to grant a loan to the Participant, which loan shall be secured by the Participant's vested Account balance. The Participant's signature shall be required on a promissory note. In determining a rate of interest on such loan, the Administrator may refer to the rate of interest used for obligations of a comparable nature by commercial lending institutions within a radius of fifty (50) miles of the Employer's principal place of business. Participant loans shall be treated as segregated investments, and interest repayments shall be credited only to the Participant's Account.
(b) LIMITATION ON AMOUNT OF LOANS. A Participant's loan shall not exceed the lesser of:
(1) $50,000, which amount shall be reduced by the highest
outstanding loan balance during the preceding twelve
(12)-month period; or
(2) one-half (1/2) of the vested value of the Participant's Account (excluding any portion thereof invested in the Employer stock fund), determined as of the Valuation Date preceding the date of the Participant's loan.
Any loan must be repaid within five (5) years, unless made for the purpose of acquiring the primary residence of the Participant, in which case such loan may be repaid over a longer period of time not to exceed fifteen (15) years. The repayment of any loan must be made in at least quarterly installments of principal and interest. If a Participant defaults on any outstanding loan, the unpaid balance, and any interest due thereon, shall become due and payable in accordance with the terms of the underlying promissory note; provided, however, that such foreclosure on the promissory note and attachment of security shall not occur until a distributable event occurs in accordance with the provisions of Article Seven.
If a Participant terminates employment while any loan balance is outstanding, the unpaid balance, and any interest due thereon, shall become due and payable in accordance with the terms of the underlying promissory note. If such amount is not paid to the Plan, it shall be charged against the amounts that are otherwise payable to the Participant or the Participant's Beneficiary under the provisions of the Plan.
In the case of a Participant who has loans outstanding from other plans of the Employer (or a member of the Employer's related group (within the meaning of Section 2.5(b)), the Administrator shall be responsible for reporting to the Trustee the existence of said loans in order to aggregate all such loans within the limits of Section 72(p) of the Code.
8.2 HARDSHIP DISTRIBUTIONS. In the case of a financial hardship resulting from a proven immediate and heavy financial need, a Participant may receive a distribution not to exceed the lesser
of (i) the vested value of the Participant's Account, without regard to earnings on his elective deferrals, and excluding any amounts invested in the Employer stock fund, determined as of the Valuation Date immediately preceding such withdrawal request, or (ii) the amount necessary to satisfy the financial hardship. The amount of any such immediate and heavy financial need may include any amounts necessary to pay Federal, state or local income taxes or penalties reasonably anticipated to result from the distribution. Such distribution shall be made in accordance with nondiscriminatory and objective standards consistently applied by the Administrator. Hardship distributions under this Section shall be deemed to be the result of an immediate and heavy financial need if such distribution is to (a) pay expenses for medical care (as described in Section 213(d) of the Code) previously incurred by the Participant, the Participant's spouse, or any dependents of the Participant (as defined in Section 152 of the Code), or to permit the Participant, the Participant's spouse, or any dependents of the Participant to obtain such medical care, (b) purchase the principal residence of the Participant (excluding mortgage payments), (c) pay tuition and related educational fees for the next twelve (12) months of post-secondary education for the Participant, Participant's spouse, or any of the Participant's dependents or (d) prevent the eviction of the Participant from his principal residence or foreclosure on the Participant's principal residence. Distributions paid pursuant to this Section shall be deemed to be made as of the Valuation Date immediately preceding the hardship distribution, and the Participant's Account shall be reduced accordingly.
The provisions of this Section (relating to hardship distributions) are intended to comply with Treasury Regulations issued under Section 401(k) of the Code, and shall be so interpreted.
No hardship distribution shall be made pursuant to this Section unless the Administrator, based upon the Participant's representation and such other facts as are known to the Administrator, determines that the following conditions are satisfied:
(a) The distribution is not in excess of the amount of the immediate and heavy financial need of the Participant; and
(b) The Participant has obtained all distributions, other than hardship distributions, and all non-taxable loans currently available under all plans maintained by the Employer.
Following a hardship distribution, the Participant's elective deferrals shall be suspended under the Plan, and all other plans maintained by the Employer, for at least twelve (12) months after receipt of the hardship distribution. In addition, the Participant's elective deferrals under the Plan, and all other plans maintained by the Employer, for the Participant's taxable year immediately following the taxable year of the hardship distribution shall not exceed an amount equal to the applicable limit under Code Section 402(g) for such next taxable year, less the amount of such Participant's elective deferrals for the taxable year of the hardship distribution.
8.3 WITHDRAWALS AFTER AGE 59-1/2. After attaining age fifty-nine and one-half (59-1/2), a Participant, by giving written notice to the Administrator, may withdraw from the Plan a sum (a) not in excess of the credit balance of his vested Account, excluding any amounts invested in the Employer stock fund, as of the Valuation Date preceding such notice and (b) not less than such minimum amount as the Administrator may establish from time to time to facilitate administration of the Plan.
Any such withdrawals shall be made in accordance with nondiscriminatory and objective standards consistently applied by the Administrator.
ARTICLE NINE--ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN
9.1 PLAN ADMINISTRATION. The Employer shall be the Plan Administrator, hereinbefore and hereinafter called the Administrator, and "named fiduciary" (for purposes of Section 402(a)(1) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended from time to time) of the Plan, unless the Employer, by action of its board of directors, shall designate a person or committee of persons to be the Administrator and named fiduciary. The administration of the Plan, as provided herein, including a determination of the payment of benefits to Participants and their Beneficiaries, shall be the responsibility of the Administrator; provided, however, that the Administrator may delegate any of its powers, authority, duties or responsibilities to any person or committee of persons. In the event more than one party shall act as Administrator, all actions shall be made by majority decisions. In the administration of the Plan, the Administrator may (a) employ agents to carry out nonfiduciary responsibilities (other than Trustee responsibilities), (b) consult with counsel, who may be counsel to the Employer, and (c) provide for the allocation of fiduciary responsibilities (other than Trustee responsibilities) among its members. Actions dealing with fiduciary responsibilities shall be taken in writing and the performance of agents, counsel and fiduciaries to whom fiduciary responsibilities have been delegated shall be reviewed periodically.
The expenses of administering the Plan and the compensation of all employees, agents, or counsel of the Administrator, including accounting fees, recordkeeper's fees, and the fees of any benefit consulting firm, shall be paid by the Plan, or shall be paid by the Employer if the Employer so elects. To the extent required by applicable law, compensation may not be paid by the Plan to full-time Employees of the Employer.
In the event the Employer pays the expenses of administering the Plan, the Employer may seek reimbursement from the Plan for the payment of such expenses. Reimbursement shall be permitted only for Plan expenses paid by the Employer within the last twelve (12)-month period.
The Administrator shall obtain from the Trustee, not less often than annually, a report with respect to the value of the assets held in the Trust Fund, in such form as may be required by the Administrator.
The Administrator shall administer the Plan and adopt such rules and regulations as, in the opinion of the Administrator, are necessary or advisable to implement and administer the Plan and to transact its business.
9.2 CLAIMS PROCEDURE. Pursuant to procedures established by the
Administrator, adequate notice in writing shall be provided to any
Participant or Beneficiary whose claim for benefits under the Plan has been
denied within ninety (90) days of receipt of such claim. Such notice shall be
written in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant, shall advise
the claimant the right to administrative review, and shall set forth the
specific reason for such denial, the specific references to the pertinent
Plan provisions on which the denial is based, and a description of any
additional material or information necessary to perfect the claim, and an
explanation of why such material or information is necessary. If such review
is requested by the claimant or his authorized representative within ninety
(90) days after receipt by the claimant of written notification of denial of
his claim, the Administrator shall afford a reasonable opportunity for a full
and fair review by the Administrator of
the decision denying the claim. The review shall focus on the additional facts, legal interpretations or material, if any, presented by the claimant. A hearing at its place of business may be scheduled by the Administrator, but a hearing is not required under the review procedure.
9.3 TRUST AGREEMENT. The Trust Agreement entered into by and between the Employer and the Trustee, including any supplements or amendments thereto, or any successor Trust Agreement, is incorporated by reference herein.
ARTICLE TEN--SPECIAL COMPLIANCE PROVISIONS
10.1 DISTRIBUTION OF EXCESS ELECTIVE DEFERRALS. If the amount of any elective deferrals made by a Participant exceeds the dollar limitation of Section 4.1(c), then the excess amount, and any income allocable thereto, shall be distributed to such Participant subject to the requirements of applicable law.
10.2 LIMITATIONS ON 401(k) CONTRIBUTIONS.
(a) AVERAGE ACTUAL DEFERRAL PERCENTAGE TEST. Amounts contributed as elective deferrals under Section 4.1(a), and any "fail-safe" contributions made under this Section, are considered to be amounts deferred pursuant to Section 401(k) of the Code. For purposes of this Article, these amounts are referred to as the "deferred amounts." For purposes of the "average actual deferral percentage test" described below, such deferred amounts must be made before the last day of the twelve (12)-month period immediately following the Plan Year to which the contributions relate. The Employer shall maintain records sufficient to demonstrate satisfaction of the average actual deferral percentage test and the deferred amounts used in such test.
As of the last day of each Plan Year, the deferred amounts for the Plan Year for the Participants who are Highly-Compensated Employees shall satisfy either of the following tests:
(1) The average actual deferral percentage for the eligible Participants who are Highly-Compensated Employees shall not exceed the average actual deferral percentage for eligible Participants who are Nonhighly-Compensated Employees multiplied by 1.25; or
(2) The average actual deferral percentage for eligible Participants who are Highly-Compensated Employees shall not exceed the average actual deferral percentage of eligible Participants who are Nonhighly-Compensated Employees multiplied by two (2), provided that the average actual deferral percentage for eligible Participants who are Highly-Compensated Employees does not exceed the average actual deferral percentage for eligible Participants who are Nonhighly-Compensated Employees by more than two (2) percentage points, or such lesser amount as the Secretary of the Treasury shall prescribe to prevent the multiple use of this alternative limitation with respect to any Highly-Compensated Employee.
For purposes of the above tests, the "actual deferral percentage" shall mean the ratio (expressed as a percentage) that the deferred amounts, which are allocated to the Participant's Account as of any day in the Plan Year, on behalf of each eligible Participant for the Plan Year bears to the eligible Participant's compensation, as defined in Code Section 414(s) and the regulations promulgated thereunder. The "average actual deferral percentage" shall mean the average (expressed as a percentage) of the actual deferral percentages of the eligible Participants in each group. "Eligible Participant" shall mean each Employee who is eligible to participate in the Plan under Section 3.1.
For purposes of this Section 10.2, the actual deferral percentage for any
eligible Participant who is a Highly-Compensated Employee for the Plan Year
and who is eligible to have elective deferrals allocated to his account under
two (2) or more plans or arrangements described in Code Section 401(k) that
are maintained by the Employer or any employer who is a related group member
(within the meaning of Section 2.5(b)) shall be determined as if all such
deferrals were made under a single arrangement. In the event that this Plan
satisfies the requirements of Code Section 410(b) only if aggregated with one
(1) or more other plans, or if one (1) or more other plans satisfy the
requirements of Code Section 410(b) only if aggregated with this Plan, then
the provisions of this Section 10.2 shall be applied by determining the
actual deferral percentage of eligible Participants as if all such plans were
a single plan.
The determination and treatment of deferred amounts and the actual deferral percentage of any Participant shall be subject to the prescribed requirements of the Secretary of the Treasury.
In the event the average actual deferral percentage test is not satisfied for a Plan Year, the Employer, in its discretion, may make a special "fail-safe" contribution for certain eligible Participants who are Nonhighly Compensated Employees, to be allocated among their Accounts in proportion to their Compensation for the Plan Year
(b) DISTRIBUTIONS OF EXCESS CONTRIBUTIONS.
(1) IN GENERAL. If the average actual deferral percentage test of Section 10.2(a) is not satisfied for a Plan Year, then the "excess contributions", and income allocable thereto, shall be distributed, to the extent required under Treasury regulations, no later than the last day of the Plan Year following the Plan Year for which the excess contributions were made. However, if such excess contributions are distributed later than two and one-half (2-1/2) months following the last day of the Plan Year in which such excess contributions were made, a ten percent (10%) excise tax shall be imposed upon the Employer with respect to such excess contributions.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent otherwise required to comply with the requirements of Section 401(a)(4) of the Code and the regulations thereunder, vested matching contributions may be forfeited.
(2) EXCESS CONTRIBUTIONS. For purposes of this Section, "excess contributions" shall consist of the excess of the aggregate amount of deferred amounts made by or on behalf of the affected Highly-Compensated Employee over the maximum amount of all such contributions permitted under the test under Section 10.2(a). In reducing the excess contribution hereunder, the reduction shall be first applied to the Highly-Compensated Employee with the highest percentage under Section 10.2(a). If reductions are further required to comply with Section 10.2(a), such reductions shall be applied to the Highly-Compensated Employee with the next highest percentage, and so forth until the nondiscrimination test of Section 10.2(a) is satisfied.
(3) DETERMINATION OF INCOME. The income allocable to excess contributions shall be determined by multiplying the income allocable to the Participant's deferred amounts for the Plan Year by a fraction, the numerator of which is the excess contributions made on behalf of the Participant for the Plan Year, and the denominator of which is the sum of the Participant's Account balances attributable to the Participant's deferred amounts on the last day of the Plan Year.
(4) MAXIMUM DISTRIBUTABLE AMOUNT. The excess contributions to
be distributed to a Participant shall be adjusted for income and, if there is a loss allocable to the excess contribution, shall in no event be less than the lesser of the Participant's Account under the Plan or the Participant's deferred amounts for the Plan Year. Excess contributions shall be distributed from that portion of the Participant's Account attributable to such deferred amounts to the extent allowable under Treasury regulations. 10.3 NONDISCRIMINATION TEST FOR EMPLOYER MATCHING CONTRIBUTIONS. (a) AVERAGE CONTRIBUTION PERCENTAGE TEST. The provisions of this Section shall apply if Employer matching contributions are made in any Plan Year under Section 4.2(a). As of the last day of each Plan Year, the average contribution percentage for Highly-Compensated Employees for the Plan Year shall satisfy either of the following tests: (1) The average contribution percentage for eligible Participants who are Highly-Compensated Employees shall not exceed the average contribution percentage for eligible Participants who are Nonhighly-Compensated Employees for the Plan Year multiplied by 1.25; or |
(2) The average contribution percentage for eligible Participants who are Highly-Compensated Employees shall not exceed the average contribution percentage for eligible Participants who are Nonhighly-Compensated Employees for the Plan Year multiplied by two (2), provided that the average contribution percentage for eligible Participants who are Highly-Compensated Employees does not exceed the average contribution percentage for eligible Participants who are Nonhighly-Compensated Employees by more than two (2) percentage points or such lesser amount as the Secretary of the Treasury shall prescribe to prevent the multiple use of this alternative limitation with respect to any Highly-Compensated Employee. |
For purposes of the above tests, the "average contribution percentage" shall mean the average (expressed as a percentage) of the contribution percentages of the "eligible Participants" in each group. The contribution percentage" shall mean the ratio (expressed as a percentage) that the sum of Employer matching contributions and elective deferrals (to the extent such elective deferrals are not used to satisfy the average actual deferral percentage test of Section 10.2) under the Plan on behalf of the eligible Participant for the Plan Year bears to the eligible Participant's compensation (as defined in Code Section 414(s) and the regulations promulgated thereunder) for the Plan Year. "Eligible Participant" shall mean each Employee who is eligible to participate in the Plan under Section 3.1.
For purposes of this Section 10.3, the contribution percentage for any
eligible Participant who is a Highly-Compensated Employee for the Plan Year
and who is eligible to have Employer matching contributions or elective
deferrals allocated to his account under two (2) or more plans described in
Section 401(a) of the Code or under arrangements described in Section 401(k)
of the Code that are maintained by the Employer or any member of the
Employer's related group (within the meaning of Section 2.5(b)), shall be
determined as if all such contributions and elective deferrals were made
under a single plan.
In the event that this Plan satisfies the requirements of Section 410(b) of the Code only if aggregated with one (1) or more other plans, or if one (1) or more other plans satisfy the requirements of Section 410(b) of the Code only if aggregated with this Plan, then the provisions of this Section 10.3 shall be applied by determining the contribution percentages of eligible Participants as if all such plans were a single plan.
The determination and treatment of the contribution percentage of any Participant shall satisfy such other requirements as may be prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury.
(b) DISTRIBUTION OF EXCESS EMPLOYER MATCHING CONTRIBUTIONS.
(1) IN GENERAL. If the nondiscrimination tests of Section 10.3(a) are not satisfied for a Plan Year, then the "excess contributions", and any income allocable thereto, shall be forfeited, if otherwise forfeitable, no later than the last day of the Plan Year following the Plan Year for which the nondiscrimination tests are not satisfied, and shall be used to reduce Employer contributions under Section 4.2(a). To the extent that such "excess contributions" are nonforfeitable, such excess contributions shall be distributed to the Participant on whose behalf the excess contributions were made no later than the last day of the Plan Year following the Plan Year for which such "excess contributions" were made. However, if such excess contributions are
distributed later than two and one-half (2-1/2) months following the last day of the Plan Year in which such excess contributions were made, a ten percent (10%) excise tax shall be imposed upon the Employer with respect to such excess contributions. For purposes of the limitations of Section 11.1(b)(1) of the Plan, excess contributions shall be considered annual additions.
(2) EXCESS CONTRIBUTIONS. For purposes of this Section, "excess
contributions" shall consist of the excess of the amount of
Employer matching contributions and elective deferrals (to the
extent not used to satisfy the average actual deferral percentage
test of Section 10.2) made on behalf of the affected
Highly-Compensated Employee over the maximum amount of all such
contributions permitted under the nondiscrimination tests under
Section 10.3(a). In reducing the excess contribution hereunder,
the reduction shall be first applied to the Highly-Compensated
Employee with the highest percentage under Section 10.3(a). If
reductions are further required to comply with Section 10.3(a),
such reductions shall be applied to the Highly-Compensated
Employee with the next highest percentage, and so forth until the
nondiscrimination tests of Section 10.3(a) are satisfied.
(3) DETERMINATION OF INCOME. The income allocable to excess contributions shall be determined by multiplying the income allocable to the Employer matching contributions and such elective deferrals by a fraction, the numerator of which is the excess contributions on behalf of the Participant for the Plan Year, and the denominator of which is the sum of the Participant's Account balances attributable to Employer matching contributions and such elective deferrals, on the last day of the Plan Year.
10.4 LIMITATION ON THE MULTIPLE USE ALTERNATIVE. The sum of the average actual deferral percentage of Highly-Compensated Employees under Section 10.2(a) and the average contribution percentage of Highly-Compensated Employees under Section 10.3(a) shall not exceed the "aggregate limit", as defined in Section 401(m)(9) of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder.
If the aggregate limit is exceeded, the average contribution percentage of
the Highly-Compensated Employees shall be reduced in accordance with the
provisions of Section 10.3(b). In lieu of reducing the average contribution
percentage, the Administrator may reduce the average actual deferral
percentage of the Highly-Compensated Employees in accordance with the
provisions of Section 10.2(b). The reductions under this Section shall be
made only to the extent necessary to comply with the restrictions on the
multiple use of the "alternative limitation" within the meaning of Code
Section 401(m)(9).
ARTICLE ELEVEN--LIMITATION ON ANNUAL ADDITIONS 11.1 RULES AND DEFINITIONS. (a) RULES. The following rules shall limit additions to Participants' Accounts: (1) If the Participant does not participate, and has never participated, in another qualified plan maintained by the Employer, the amount of annual additions which may be credited to the Participant's Account for any limitation year shall not exceed the lesser of the "maximum permissible" amount (as hereafter defined) or any other limitation contained in this Plan. If the Employer contribution that would otherwise be allocated to the Participant's Account would cause the annual additions for the limitation year to exceed the maximum permissible amount, the amount allocated shall be reduced so that the annual additions for the limitation year shall equal the maximum permissible amount. (2) Prior to determining the Participant's actual compensation for the limitation year, the Employer may determine the maximum permissible amount for a Participant on the basis of a reasonable estimation of the Participant's compensation for the limitation year, uniformly determined for all Participants similarly situated. (3) As soon as is administratively feasible after the end of the limitation year, the maximum permissible amount for the limitation year shall be determined on the basis of the Participant's actual compensation for the limitation year. (4) If there is an excess amount, the excess shall be disposed of as follows: (A) Any nondeductible voluntary Employee after-tax contributions and, to the extent elected by the Administrator pursuant to a nondiscriminatory procedure, elective deferrals under Section 4.1(a), and any earnings thereon, to the extent they would reduce the excess amount, shall be returned to the Participant. (B) If an excess amount still exists after the application of subparagraph (A), and the Participant is covered by the Plan at the end of the limitation year, the excess amount in the Participant's Account shall be used to reduce Employer contributions (including any allocation of forfeitures, if applicable) for such Participant in the next limitation year, and each succeeding limitation year if necessary; (C) If an excess amount still exists after the application of subparagraphs (A) and (B), and the Participant is not covered by the Plan at the end of the limitation year, the excess amount shall be held unallocated in a suspense account and applied to reduce future Employer contributions (including allocation of any forfeitures) for all remaining Participants in the next limitation year, and each succeeding limitation year if necessary. |
(D) If a suspense account is in existence at any time during the limitation year pursuant to this Section 11.1(a)(4), it shall not participate in the allocation of the Trust's investment gains and losses. In addition, all amounts held in the suspense account shall be allocated and reallocated to Participants' Accounts before any Employer or Employee contributions may be made for the limitation year. (5) If, in addition to this Plan, the Participant is covered under another defined contribution plan maintained by the Employer, or a welfare benefit fund, as defined in Code Section 419(e), maintained by the Employer, or an individual medical account, as defined in Code Section 415(1)(2), maintained by the Employer which provides an annual addition, the annual additions which may be credited to a Participant's account under all such plans for any such limitation year shall not exceed the maximum permissible amount. Benefits shall be reduced under any discretionary defined contribution plan before they are reduced under any defined contribution pension plan. If both plans are discretionary contribution plans, they shall first be reduced under this Plan. Any excess amount attributable to this Plan shall be disposed of in the manner described in Section 11.1(a)(4). (6) If the Employer maintains, or at any time maintained, a qualified defined benefit plan covering any Participant in this Plan, the sum of the Participant's defined benefit plan fraction and defined contribution plan fraction shall not exceed 1.0 in any limitation year. The annual additions which may be credited to the Participant's Account under this Plan for any limitation year shall be limited so that if the limitations of Code Section 415(e) become applicable, benefits under a defined benefit plan shall have first been provided before benefits under a defined contribution plan are provided. (7) In any Plan Year in which the Plan becomes a Super Top-Heavy Plan (as defined in Section 13.2(b)), the denominators of the defined benefit fraction and defined contribution fraction shall be computed using one hundred percent (100%) of the maximum dollar limitation instead of one hundred and twenty-five percent (125%). (8) In any year in which the Plan is a Top-Heavy Plan (as defined in Section 13.2(c)) (but not a Super Top-Heavy Plan), the limitations shall be similarly reduced, subject to the special provisions of Section 13.3, which provide for the use of the one hundred and twenty-five percent (125%) limitation subject to the added minimum allocations. (b) DEFINITIONS. (1) ANNUAL ADDITIONS: The following amounts credited to a Participant's Account for the limitation year shall be treated as annual additions: (A) Employer contributions; (B) Elective deferrals; |
(C) Employee after-tax contributions, if any; (D) Forfeitures, if any; and (E) Amounts allocated after March 31, 1984 to an individual medical account, as defined in Section 415(l)(2) of the Code, which is part of a defined benefit plan maintained by the Employer. Also, amounts derived from contributions paid or accrued after December 31, 1985 in taxable years ending after such date which are attributable to post-retirement medical benefits allocated to the separate account of a Key Employee, as defined in Section 419A(d)(3), and amounts under a welfare benefit fund, as defined in Section 419(e), maintained by the Employer, shall be treated as annual additions to a defined contribution plan. For this purpose, any excess amount applied under Section 11.1(a)(4) in the limitation year to reduce Employer contributions shall be considered annual additions for such limitation year. (2) COMPENSATION: For purposes of determining maximum permitted benefits under this Section, compensation shall include all of a Participant's earned income, wages, salaries, and fees for professional services, and other amounts received for personal services actually rendered in the course of employment with the Employer, including, but not limited to, commissions paid to salesmen, compensation for services on the basis of a percentage of profits, commissions on insurance premiums, tips and bonuses, and excluding the following: (A) Employer contributions to a plan of deferred compensation which are not included in the Employee's gross income for the taxable year in which contributed, or Employer contributions under a simplified employee pension plan (funded with individual retirement accounts or annuities) to the extent such contributions are deductible by the Employee, or any distributions from a plan of deferred compensation; (B) Amounts realized from the exercise of a nonqualified stock option, or when restricted stock (or property) held by the Employee either becomes freely transferable or is no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture; (C) Amounts realized from the sale, exchange, or other disposition of stock acquired under a qualified stock option; and (D) Other amounts which received special tax benefits, or contributions made by the Employer (whether or not under a salary reduction agreement) toward the purchase of an annuity described in Section 403(b) of the Code (whether or not the amounts are actually excludable from the gross income of the Employee). |
Compensation shall be measured on the basis of compensation paid in the limitation year. (3) DEFINED BENEFIT FRACTION: This shall mean a fraction, the numerator of which is the sum of the Participant's projected annual benefits under all the defined benefit plans maintained or previously maintained by the Employer, and the denominator of which is the lesser of one hundred and twenty-five percent (125%) of the dollar limitation in effect for the limitation year under Section 415(b)(1)(A) of the Code or one hundred and forty percent (140%) of the highest average compensation including any adjustment under Code Section 415(b). (4) DEFINED CONTRIBUTION FRACTION: This shall mean a fraction, the numerator of which is the sum of the annual additions to the Participant's account under all the defined contribution plans (whether or not terminated), welfare benefit funds, and individual medical accounts maintained by the Employer for the current and all prior limitation years, and the denominator of which is the sum of the maximum aggregate amounts for the current and all prior limitation years of Service with the Employer, regardless of whether a defined contribution plan was maintained by the Employer. The maximum aggregate amount in any limitation year is the lesser of one hundred and twenty-five percent (125%) of the dollar limitation then in effect under Section 415(c)(1)(A) of the Code or thirty-five (35%) of the Participant's compensation for such year. If the Employee, as of the end of the first day of the first limitation year beginning after December 31, 1986, was a participant in one (1) or more defined contribution plans maintained by the Employer which were in existence on May 5, 1986, the numerator of this fraction shall be adjusted if the sum of this fraction and the defined benefit fraction would otherwise exceed 1.0 under the terms of this Plan. Under the adjustment, an amount equal to the product of (i) the excess of the sum of the fractions over 1.0 and (ii) the denominator of this fraction, will be permanently subtracted from the numerator of this fraction. The adjustment is calculated using the fractions as they would be computed as of the end of the last limitation year beginning before January 1, 1987, and disregarding any changes in the terms and conditions of the Plan made after May 5, 1986, but using the Code Section 415 limitation applicable to the first limitation year beginning on or after January 1, 1987. The annual addition for any limitation year beginning before January 1, 1987, shall not be recomputed to treat all Employee contributions as annual additions. (5) DEFINED CONTRIBUTION DOLLAR LIMITATION: This shall mean the greater of $30,000 or one-fourth (1/4) of the defined benefit dollar limitation of Section 415(b)(1) of the Code in effect for the limitation year. |
(6) EMPLOYER: This term refers to the Employer that adopts this Plan, and all members of a controlled group of corporations (as defined in Section 414(b) of the Code, as modified by Section 415(h)), commonly-controlled trades or businesses (as defined in Section 414(c), as modified by Section 415(h)), or affiliated service groups (as defined in Section 414(m)) of which the Employer is a part, or any other entity required to be aggregated with the Employer under Code Section 414(o). (7) HIGHEST AVERAGE COMPENSATION: This means the average compensation for the three (3) consecutive limitation years with the Employer that produces the highest average. (8) LIMITATION YEAR: This shall mean the Plan Year. (9) MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE AMOUNT: This shall mean an amount equal to the lesser of the defined contribution dollar limitation or twenty-five percent (25%) of the Participant's compensation for the limitation year. If a short limitation year is created because of an amendment changing the limitation year to a different twelve (12)-consecutive month period, the maximum permissible amount shall not exceed the defined contribution dollar limitation multiplied by the following fraction: Number of months in the short limitation year --------------------------------------------- 12 (10) PROJECTED ANNUAL BENEFIT: This is the annual retirement benefit (adjusted to an actuarially equivalent straight life annuity if such benefit is expressed in a form other than a straight life annuity or qualified joint and survivor annuity) to which the Participant would be entitled under the terms of the plan, assuming: (A) the Participant will continue employment until normal retirement age under the plan (or current age, if later), and (B) the Participant's compensation for the current limitation year and all other relevant factors used to determine benefits under the plan will remain constant for all future limitation years. |
ARTICLE TWELVE--AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION
12.1 AMENDMENT. The Employer, by resolution of its board of directors, (or, to the extent permitted by resolution of such board of directors, by action of a duly authorized officer of the Employer) shall have the right to amend, alter or modify the Plan at any time, or from time to time, in whole or in part. Any such amendment shall become effective under its terms upon adoption by the Employer. However, no amendment affecting the duties, powers or responsibilities of the Trustee may be made without the written consent of the Trustee. No amendment shall be made to the Plan which shall:
(a) make it possible (other than as provided in Section 14.3) for any part of the corpus or income of the Trust Fund (other than such part as may be required to pay taxes and administrative expenses) to be used for or diverted to purposes other than the exclusive benefit of the Participants or their Beneficiaries;
(b) decrease a Participant's account balance or eliminate an optional form of payment with respect to benefits accrued as of the later of (i) the date such amendment is adopted, or (ii) the date the amendment becomes effective; or
(c) alter the schedule for vesting in a Participant's Account with respect to any Participant with three (3) or more Years of Service without his consent or deprive any Participant of any nonforfeitable portion of his Account.
Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section or any other provisions of the Plan, any amendment or modification of the Plan may be made retroactively if necessary or appropriate to conform to or to satisfy the conditions of any law, governmental regulation, or ruling, and to meet the requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as it may be amended.
12.2 TERMINATION OF THE PLAN. The Employer, by resolution of its board of directors, reserves the right at any time and in its sole discretion to discontinue payments under the Plan and to terminate the Plan. In the event the Plan is terminated, or upon complete discontinuance of contributions under the Plan by the Employer, the rights of each Participant to his Account on the date of such termination or discontinuance of contributions, to the extent of the fair market value under the Trust Fund, shall become fully vested and nonforfeitable. The Employer shall direct the Trustee to distribute the Trust Fund in accordance with the Plan's distribution provisions to the Participants and their Beneficiaries, each Participant or Beneficiary receiving a portion of the Trust Fund equal to the value of his Account as of the date of distribution. These distributions may be implemented by the continuance of the Trust and the distribution of the Participants' Account shall be made at such time and in such manner as though the Plan had not terminated, or by any other appropriate method, including rollover into Individual Retirement Accounts. Upon distribution of the Trust Fund, the Trustee shall be discharged from all obligations under the Trust and no Participant or Beneficiary shall have any further right or claim therein. If a partial termination of the Plan is deemed to have occurred, this Section shall apply only to those Participant's affected by such partial termination.
ARTICLE THIRTEEN--TOP-HEAVY PROVISIONS
13.1 APPLICABILITY. The provisions of this Article shall become applicable only for any Plan Year in which the Plan is a Top-Heavy Plan (as defined in Section 13.2(c)). The determination of whether the Plan is a Top-Heavy Plan shall be made each Plan Year by the Administrator.
13.2 DEFINITIONS. For purposes of this Article, the following definitions shall apply:
(a) "KEY EMPLOYEE": "Key Employee" shall mean any Employee or former
Employee (and the Beneficiaries of such Employee) who, at any
time during the determination period, was (1) an officer of the
Employer earning compensation (as defined in Section 416(i) of
the Code) in excess of fifty percent (50%) of the dollar
limitation under Section 415(b)(1)(A) of the Code, (2) an owner
(or considered an owner under Section 318 of the Code) of both
more than a one-half percent (1/2%) interest in the Employer and
one of the ten (10) largest interests in the Employer if such
individual's compensation exceeds the dollar limitation under
Section 415(c)(1)(A) of the Code, (3) a five percent (5%) owner
of the Employer, or (4) a one percent (1%) owner of the Employer
who has an annual compensation of more than $150,000. For
purposes of this Section, annual compensation shall mean
compensation as defined in Code Section 415(c)(3), but including
amounts contributed by the Employer pursuant to a salary
reduction agreement which are excludable from the Employee's
income under Code Sections 125, 402(g), 402(h) or 403(b). The
determination period of the Plan is the Plan Year containing the
"determination date" as defined in Section 13.2(c)(4) and the
four (4) preceding Plan Years.
The determination of who is a Key Employee (including the terms
"5% owner" and "1% owner") shall be made in accordance with
Section 416(i)(1) of the Code and the regulations thereunder.
(b) "SUPER TOP-HEAVY PLAN": The Plan shall constitute a "Super
Top-Heavy Plan" if it meets the test for status as a Top-Heavy
Plan, where "90%" is substituted for "60%" at each place in
Section 13.2(c).
(c) "TOP-HEAVY PLAN":
(1) The Plan shall constitute a "Top-Heavy Plan" if any of the following conditions exist:
(A) The top-heavy ratio for the Plan exceeds sixty percent (60%) and the Plan is not part of any required aggregation group or permissive aggregation group of plans; or
(B) The Plan is part of a required aggregation group of plans (but is not part of a permissive aggregation group) and the top-heavy ratio for the group of plans exceeds sixty percent (60%); or
(C) The Plan is a part of a required aggregation group of plans and part of a permissive aggregation group and the top-heavy ratio for the permissive aggregation group exceeds sixty percent (60%).
(2) If the Employer maintains one (1) or more defined contribution plans (including any simplified employee pension plan funded with individual retirement accounts or annuities) and the Employer maintains or has maintained one (1) or more defined benefit plans which have covered or could cover a Participant in this Plan, the top-heavy ratio is a fraction, the numerator of which is the sum of account balances under the defined contribution plans for all Key Employees and the actuarial equivalents of accrued benefits under the defined benefit plans for all Key Employees, and the denominator of which is the sum of the account balances under the defined contribution plans for all Participants and the actuarial equivalents of accrued benefits under the defined benefit plans for all Participants. Both the numerator and denominator of the top-heavy ratio shall include any distribution of an account balance or an accrued benefit made in the five (5)-year period ending on the determination date and any contribution due to a defined contribution pension plan but unpaid as of the determination date. In determining the accrued benefit of a non-Key Employee who is participating in a plan that is part of a required aggregation group, the method of determining such benefit shall be either (i) in accordance with the method, if any, that uniformly applies for accrual purposes under all plans maintained by the Employer or any member of the Employer's related group (within the meaning of Section 2.5(b)), or (ii) if there is no such method, as if such benefit accrued not more rapidly than the slowest accrual rate permitted under the fractional accrual rate of Code Section 411(b)(1)(C).
(3) For purposes of (1) and (2) above, the value of account balances and the actuarial equivalents of accrued benefits shall be determined as of the most recent Valuation Date that falls within or ends with the twelve (12)-month period ending on the determination date. The account balances and accrued benefits of a Participant who is not a Key Employee but who was a Key Employee in a prior year shall be disregarded. The accrued benefits and account balances of Participants who have performed no Hours of Service with any Employer maintaining the plan for the five (5)-year period ending on the determination date shall be disregarded. The calculations of the top-heavy ratio, and the extent to which distributions, rollovers, and transfers are taken into account shall be made under Section 416 of the Code and regulations issued thereunder. Deductible Employee contributions shall not be taken into account for purposes of computing the top-heavy ratio. When aggregating plans, the value of account balances and accrued benefits shall be calculated with reference to the determination dates that fall within the same calendar year.
(4) DEFINITION OF TERMS FOR TOP-HEAVY STATUS:
(A) "TOP-HEAVY RATIO" shall mean the following:
(1) If the Employer maintains one or more defined
contribution plans (including any simplified employee
pension plan funded with individual retirement accounts
or annuities) and the Employer has never maintained any
defined benefit plans which have covered or could cover
a Participant in this Plan, the top-heavy ratio is a
fraction, the numerator of which is the sum of the
account balances of all Key Employees as of the
determination date (including any part of any account
balance distributed in the five (5)-year period ending
on the determination date), and the denominator of
which is the sum of the account balances (including any
part of any account balance distributed in the five
(5)-year period ending on the determination date) of
all Participants as of the determination date. Both the
numerator and the denominator shall be increased by any
contributions due but unpaid to a defined contribution
pension plan as of the determination date.
(B) "PERMISSIVE AGGREGATION GROUP" shall mean the required aggregation group of plans plus any other plan or plans of the Employer which, when considered as a group with the required aggregation group, would continue to satisfy the requirements of Section 401(a)(4) and/or 410 of the Code.
(C) "REQUIRED AGGREGATION GROUP" shall mean (i) each qualified plan of the Employer (including any terminated plan) in which at least one Key Employee participates, and (ii) any other qualified plan of the Employer which enables a plan described in (i) to meet the requirements of Section 401(a)(4) and/or 410 of the Code.
(D) "DETERMINATION DATE" shall mean, for any Plan Year subsequent to the first Plan Year, the last day of the preceding Plan Year. For the first Plan Year of the Plan, "determination date" shall mean the last day of that Plan Year.
(E) "VALUATION DATE" shall mean the last day of the Plan Year.
(F) Actuarial equivalence shall be based on the interest and
mortality rates utilized to determine actuarial equivalence
when benefits are paid from any defined benefit plan. If no
rates are specified in said plan, the following shall be
utilized: pre- and post-retirement interest -- five percent
(5%); post-retirement mortality based on the Unisex Pension
(1984) Table as used by the Pension Benefit Guaranty
Corporation on the date of execution hereof.
13.3 ALLOCATION OF EMPLOYER CONTRIBUTIONS AND FORFEITURES FOR A TOP-HEAVY PLAN YEAR.
(a) Except as otherwise provided below, in any Plan Year in which the Plan is a Top-Heavy Plan, the Employer contributions and forfeitures allocated on behalf of any Participant who is a non-Key Employee shall not be less than the lesser of three percent (3%) of such Participant's compensation (as defined in Section 11.1(b)(2)) or the largest percentage of Employer contributions and forfeitures as a percentage of the Key Employee's Compensation, allocated on behalf of any Key Employee for that Plan Year. This minimum allocation shall be made even though, under other Plan provisions, the Participant would not otherwise be entitled to receive an allocation or would have received a lesser allocation for the Plan Year because of insufficient Employer contributions under Section 4.2, the Participant's failure to complete one thousand (1,000) Hours of Service or the Participant's failure to make elective deferrals under Section 4.1.
(b) The minimum allocation under this Section shall not apply to any Participant who was not employed by the Employer on the last day of the Plan Year.
(c) The minimum allocation under this Section shall be offset and reduced by any allocation of contributions and forfeitures under Section 4.2, and under any other defined contribution plan (if such contributions are not matching contributions under Code Section 401(m)) with a Plan Year ending in the same calendar year as the Valuation Date.
(d) For purposes of the Plan, a non-Key Employee shall be any Employee or Beneficiary of such Employee, any former Employee, or Beneficiary of such former Employee, who is not or was not a Key Employee during the Plan Year ending on the determination date, nor during the four (4) preceding Plan Years.
(e) If no defined benefit plan has ever been part of a permissive or required aggregation group of plans of the Employer, the contributions and forfeitures under this step shall be offset by any allocation of contributions and forfeitures under any other defined contribution plan of the Employer with a Plan Year ending in the same calendar year as this Plan's Valuation Date.
(f) There shall be no duplication of the minimum benefits required under Code Section 416. Benefits shall be provided under defined contribution plans before under defined benefit plans. If a defined benefit plan (active or terminated) is part of the permissive or required aggregation group of plans, the allocation method of subparagraph (a) above shall apply, except that "3%" shall be increased to "5%."
(g) There shall be no duplication of the minimum benefits required under Code Section 416. Benefits shall be provided under defined contribution plans before defined benefit plans. If a defined benefit plan (active or terminated) is part of the permissive or required aggregation group of plans, and if any Participant in the Plan would have his benefits limited due to the application of the Code limitation rule in Section 11.1 in a Plan Year in which the Plan is a Top-Heavy Plan but not a Super Top-Heavy Plan, the allocation
method of subparagraph (f) above shall apply, except that "5%" shall be increased to "7.5%."
13.4 VESTING. The provisions contained in Section 6.1 relating to vesting shall
continue to apply in any Plan Year in which the Plan is a Top-Heavy Plan, and
apply to all benefits within the meaning of Section 411(a)(7) of the Code except
those attributable to Employee contributions and elective deferrals under
Section 4.1, including benefits accrued before the effective date of Section 416
and benefits accrued before the Plan became a Top-Heavy Plan. Further, no
reduction in vested benefits may occur in the event the Plan's status as a
Top-Heavy Plan changes for any Plan Year and the vesting schedule is amended. In
addition, if a Plan's status changes from a Top-Heavy Plan to that of a
non-Top-Heavy Plan, a Participant with three (3) Years of Service shall continue
to have his vested rights determined under the schedule which he selects, in the
event the vesting schedule is subsequently amended.
Payment of a Participant's vested Account balance under this Section shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Article Seven.
ARTICLE FOURTEEN--MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
14.1 PLAN DOES NOT AFFECT EMPLOYMENT. Neither the creation of this Plan, any amendment thereto, the creation of any fund nor the payment of benefits hereunder shall be construed as giving any legal or equitable right to any Employee or Participant against the Employer, its officers or Employees, or against the Trustee. All liabilities under this Plan shall be satisfied, if at all, only out of the Trust Fund held by the Trustee. Participation in the Plan shall not give any Participant any right to be retained in the employ of the Employer, and the Employer hereby expressly retains the right to hire and discharge any Employee at any time with or without cause, as if the Plan had not been adopted, and any such discharged Participant shall have only such rights or interests in the Trust Fund as may be specified herein.
14.2 SUCCESSOR TO THE EMPLOYER. In the event of the merger, consolidation, reorganization or sale of assets of the Employer, under circumstances in which a successor person, firm, or corporation shall carry on all or a substantial part of the business of the Employer, and such successor shall employ a substantial number of Employees of the Employer and shall elect to carry on the provisions of the Plan, such successor shall be substituted for the Employer under the terms and provisions of the Plan upon the filing in writing with the Trustee of its election to do so.
14.3 REPAYMENTS TO THE EMPLOYER. Notwithstanding any provisions of this Plan to the contrary:
(a) Any monies or other Plan assets attributable to any contribution made to this Plan by the Employer because of a mistake of fact shall be returned to the Employer within one (1) year after the date of contribution.
(b) Any monies or other Plan assets attributable to any contribution made to this Plan by the Employer shall be refunded to the Employer, to the extent such contribution is predicated on the deductibility thereof under the Code and the income tax deduction for such contribution is disallowed. Such amount shall be refunded within one (1) taxable year after the date of such disallowance or within one (1) year of the resolution of any judicial or administrative process with respect to the disallowance. All Employer contributions hereunder are expressly contributed based upon such contributions' deductibility under the Code.
However, the provisions of this Section shall not apply to elective deferrals made by a Participant under Section 4.1.
14.4 BENEFITS NOT ASSIGNABLE. Except as provided in Section 414(p) of the Code with respect to "qualified domestic relations orders," the rights of any Participant or his Beneficiary to any benefit or payment hereunder shall not be subject to voluntary or involuntary alienation or assignment.
With respect to any "qualified domestic relations order" relating to the Plan,
the Plan shall permit distribution to an alternate payee under such order at any
time, irrespective of whether the Participant has attained his "earliest
retirement age" (within the meaning of Section 414(p)(4)(B) of the Code) under
the Plan. A distribution to an alternate payee prior to the Participant's
attainment of his earliest retirement age shall, however, be available only if:
(1) the order specifies distribution at that time or permits an agreement
between the Plan and the alternate payee to authorize an earlier distribution;
and (2) if the present value of the alternate payee's benefit under the Plan
exceeds $3,500, the order requires the alternate payee to consent to any
distribution occurring prior to the Participant's attainment of his earliest
retirement age. Nothing in this paragraph shall, however, give a Participant a
right to receive distribution at a time otherwise not permitted under the Plan
nor does it permit the alternate payee to receive a form of payment not
otherwise permitted under the Plan or under said Section 414(p) of the Code.
14.5 MERGER OF PLANS. In the case of any merger or consolidation of this Plan with, or transfer of the assets or liabilities of the Plan to, any other plan, the terms of such merger, consolidation or transfer shall be such that each Participant would receive (in the event of termination of this Plan or its successor immediately thereafter) a benefit which is no less than what the Participant would have received in the event of termination of this Plan immediately before such merger, consolidation or transfer.
14.6 INVESTMENT EXPERIENCE NOT A FORFEITURE. The decrease in value of any Account due to adverse investment experience shall not be considered an impermissible "forfeiture" of any vested balance.
14.7 DISTRIBUTION TO LEGALLY INCAPACITATED. In the event any benefit is payable to a minor or to a person deemed to be incompetent or to a person otherwise under legal disability, or who is by sole reason of advanced age, illness, or other physical or mental incapacity incapable of handling the disposition of his property, the Administrator, may direct the Trustee to apply all or any portion of such benefit directly to the care, comfort, maintenance, support, education or use of such person or to pay or distribute the whole or any part of such benefit to (a) the spouse of such person, (b) the parent of such person, (c) the guardian, committee, or other legal representative, wherever appointed, of such person, (d) the person with whom such person shall reside, (e) any other person having the care and control of such person, or (f) such person. The receipt of any such payment or distribution shall be a complete discharge of liability for Plan obligations.
14.8 CONSTRUCTION. Wherever appropriate, the use of the masculine gender shall be extended to include the feminine and/or neuter or vice versa; and the singular form of words shall be extended to include the plural; and the plural shall be restricted to mean the singular.
14.9 GOVERNING DOCUMENTS. A Participant's rights shall be determined under the terms of the Plan as in effect at the Participant's date of separation from Service.
14.10 GOVERNING LAW. The provisions of this Plan shall be construed under the laws of the state of the situs of the Trust, except to the extent such laws are preempted by Federal law.
14.11 HEADINGS. The Article headings and Section numbers are included solely for ease of reference. If there is any conflict between such headings or numbers and the text of the Plan, the text shall control.
14.12 COUNTERPARTS. This Plan may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original; said counterparts shall constitute but one and the same instrument, which may be sufficiently evidenced by any one counterpart.
14.13 LOCATION OF PARTICIPANT OR BENEFICIARY UNKNOWN. In the event that all or
any portion of the distribution payable to a Participant or to a Participant's
Beneficiary hereunder shall, at the expiration of five (5) years after it shall
become payable, remain unpaid solely by reason of the inability of the
Administrator to ascertain the whereabouts of such Participant or Beneficiary,
after sending a registered letter, return receipt requested, to the last known
address, and after further diligent effort, the amount so distributable shall be
treated as a forfeiture under the Plan. In the event a Participant or
Beneficiary is located subsequent to the reallocation of his Account balance,
such Account balance shall be restored in accordance with the provisions of
Section 6.2.
ARTICLE FIFTEEN--MULTIPLE EMPLOYER PROVISIONS
15.1 ADOPTION OF THE PLAN. With the consent of the board of directors of Intrusion.com, Inc., this Plan may be adopted by any other corporation or entity that is not a member of the Employer's "related group" (as defined in Section 2.5) for its employees, which adopting employer shall be known as a "Participating Employer." All assets may either be held within the Trust Fund, or each Participating Employer may maintain a separate trust fund attributable to its portion of Plan assets. Separate accounting shall be maintained for the Accounts of Employees of each adopting Participating Employer.
15.2 SERVICE. For purposes of vesting, eligibility to participate in the Plan, and determining eligibility for allocation of Participating Employer contributions, an Employee shall be credited with all of his Hours of Service with any Participating Employer which has adopted the Plan after the effective date of that adoption. Pre-adoption service will be credited in accordance with the rules in Article Two for such periods of time when the Employees were part of a controlled group of corporations, trades or businesses under common control or affiliated service group. These rules may be modified by an instrument of adoption.
15.3 PLAN CONTRIBUTIONS. All contributions made by a Participating Employer, as provided for in this Plan and unless modified by an instrument of adoption, shall be determined separately by each Participating Employer, and shall be paid to and held by the Trustee for the exclusive benefit of the Employees of such Participating Employer and the Beneficiaries of such Employees, subject to all the terms and conditions of this Plan. Any forfeiture by an Employee of a Participating Employer subject to allocation during each Plan Year shall be allocated only for the exclusive benefit of the Participants of such Participating Employer in accordance with the provisions of this Plan, unless modified by an instrument of adoption].
15.4 TRANSFERRING EMPLOYEES. The Administrator shall adopt equitable procedures whereby contributions and forfeitures are equitably allocated in the case of Employees transferring from the employment of one Participating Employer to another Participating Employer. Similarly, rules shall be adopted whereby Account records may be transferred from the records of one Participating Employer to another Participating Employer.
15.5 DELEGATION OF AUTHORITY. Each Participating Employer shall be deemed to have appointed Intrusion.com, Inc. as its agent to act on its behalf in all matters relating to the administration, amendment, termination of the Plan and the investment of the assets of the Plan.
15.6 TERMINATION. Any termination of the Plan or discontinuance of contributions by any one Participating Employer shall operate with regard only to the Participants employed by that Participating Employer. All Employees affected thereby shall have a one hundred percent (100%) nonforfeitable interest in their Accounts.
In the event any Participating Employer terminates its participation in this Plan, or in the event that any such Participating Employer shall cease to exist through sale, reorganization or bankruptcy, the Trust fund shall be allocated by the Trustee, in accordance with the direction of the Administrator, into separate Trust funds. The amount to be allocated to the Trust of the terminating Participating Employer shall be equal to the value of the Account balances of its Participants as of the most recent date as of which Plan assets were valued under Article Five, unless a special valuation is agreed to by the Administrator and the terminating Participating Employer.

INTRUSION.COM, INC.
1997 EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN
AS AMENDED JANUARY 17, 2001
1. PURPOSE:
The Intrusion.com 1997 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "Plan") is
intended to provide a method whereby employees of Optical Data Systems, Inc., a
Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and its subsidiaries will have an
opportunity to acquire an equity interest in the Company through the purchase of
shares of the Common Stock of the Company. It is the intention of the Company
that the rights to purchase Common Stock of the Company granted under the Plan
be considered options issued under an "employee stock purchase plan" as that
term is defined in Section 423(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the "Code"). The provisions of the Plan shall be construed so as to
extend and limit participation in a manner consistent with the requirements of
Section 423(b) of the Code.
2. DEFINITIONS:
(a) "Compensation" shall mean cash compensation including straight-time earnings, commissions, payments for overtime, shift premium, bonuses and other incentive payments, but excluding relocation allowances and non-cash compensation.
(b) "Code" shall mean the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
(c) "Common Stock" shall refer to the class of stock which, as of the effective date of this Plan, is designated as common stock of the Company.
(d) "Committee" shall mean the Compensation Committee appointed by the Board of Directors in accordance with Section 3 of the Plan.

(f) "Market Value" of the Company's Common Stock shall be determined by the lower of the closing price per share of the Common Stock on the Offering Commencement Date or Offering Termination Date for each Offering on which trading occurred on the NASDAQ National Market System (or other quotation system or stock exchange on which the Common Stock then trades), or, if on either of such dates no closing price was reported, on the last preceding date on which a closing price of the Common Stock was reported. In the event the Common Stock is not publicly traded on an Offering Commencement Date or Offering Termination Date, the determination of its Market Value shall be made by the Committee in such manner as it deems appropriate.
(g) "Offering" shall have the meaning as described in Section 4 of the Plan.
(h) "Offering Commencement Date" shall mean the date on which each Offering under the Plan commences.
(i) "Offering Termination Date" shall mean each July 31 and January 31 on which each Offering terminates.
(j) "Option" shall mean an option to purchase Common Stock granted under the Plan.
(k) "Participant" shall refer to an eligible Employee who participates in the Plan in accordance with the provisions contained herein.
(l) "Stock Administrator" shall mean an Employee or Employees designated by the Committee to perform certain day-to-day administrative functions to implement the Plan.
3. ADMINISTRATION:
The Plan shall be administered by the Compensation Committee (the Committee) of the Company appointed by the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board of Directors"). Members of the Committee shall not be full-time or part-time employees of the Company. Accordingly, no member of the Committee shall be eligible to purchase Common Stock under the Plan. Subject to the express provisions of the Plan, the Committee shall have plenary authority in its discretion to interpret and construe any and all provisions of the Plan, to adopt rules and regulations for administering the Plan, and to make all other determinations deemed necessary or advisable for administering the Plan. The Committee's determination on the foregoing matters shall be conclusive. Any member of the Committee may resign by submitting a letter of resignation to the Board of Directors. Further, the Board of Directors may from time to time appoint members of the Committee in substitution for, or in addition to, members previously appointed and may fill vacancies in the Committee. The Committee may correct any defect or omission or reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan, in the manner and to the extent it shall deem desirable. Any decision or determination reduced to writing and signed by a majority of the members of the Committee shall be effective as if it had been made by a majority vote at a meeting of the Committee duly called and held.
The Committee may designate an Employee or Employees to serve as Stock Administrator to implement the provisions of, and interpretations by the Committee, of the Plan. In absence of the designation by the Committee of a Stock Administrator, any reference herein to the Stock Administrator shall be deemed to be a reference to the Committee.
4. OFFERINGS:
The Plan will be implemented by two six-month offerings per year commencing each February 1 and August 1 (each, an "Offering"). The first Offering under the Plan shall begin on August 1, 1997 and will terminate January 31, 1998. Subsequent Offerings will begin on each successive February 1 and August 1, terminating on the next following July 31 and January 31 thereafter, respectively.
5. SHARES SUBJECT TO THE PLAN:
The maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable under the Plan shall be 500,000, subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 13 hereof. The maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable in each Offering shall be 100,000 plus all unissued shares from prior Offerings, not to exceed 500,000, subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 13 hereof. If the total number of shares of Common Stock for which Options are exercised on any Offering Termination Date exceeds the maximum number of shares for the applicable Offering, the Committee shall make a pro rata allocation of the shares available for delivery and distribution in as nearly a uniform manner as shall be practicable and as it shall determine to be equitable, and the balance of payroll deductions credited to the account of each Participant under the Plan shall be held in each such Participant's account for the purchase of shares under the next Offering under the Plan unless a Participant elects to withdraw from the Plan.
6. TERM OF PLAN:
The Plan shall become effective on the date on which the Company's stockholders approve the adoption of the Plan. Unless earlier terminated pursuant to the provisions of Section 12 hereof, the Plan shall continue in effect for a term of ten (10) years from the date of adoption of the Plan by the Company's
stockholders; provided, however, that the termination of this Plan shall not affect any shares of Common Stock issued or any outstanding and unexpired option granted under this Plan.
7. ELIGIBILITY AND PARTICIPATION:
INITIAL ELIGIBILITY: Any Employee who shall have completed ninety (90) days employment with the Company or a subsidiary of the Company shall be eligible to participate in Offerings under the Plan which commence on or after such ninety day period of employment has concluded, provided Employee is still employed with the Company. Directors who are not full-time or part-time officers or Employees are not eligible to participate in the Plan.
LEAVE OF ABSENCE: For purposes of participation in the Plan, a person on leave of absence shall be deemed to be an Employee for the first 90 days of such leave of absence and such Employee's employment shall be deemed to have terminated at the close of business on the 90th day of such leave of absence unless such Employee shall have returned to regular full-time or part-time employment prior to close of business on the 90th day. Termination by the Company of any Employee's leave of absence other than by such Employee's return to full-time, or part-time employment, shall terminate an Employee's employment for all purposes of the Plan and shall terminate such Employee's participation in the Plan and right to exercise any Options.
RESTRICTIONS ON PARTICIPATION: Notwithstanding any provisions of the Plan to the contrary, no Employee shall be permitted to purchase Common Stock under the Plan:
(a) if, immediately after the grant, such Employee would own stock and/or hold outstanding options or other rights to purchase capital stock of the Company possessing 5% or more of the total combined voting power or fair market value (as determined by the Committee) of all outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company (for purposes of this paragraph, the rules of Section 424(d) of the Code shall apply in determining stock ownership of any employee), or
(b) which permits such Employee's rights to purchase capital stock under all employee stock purchase plans of the Company to accrue at a rate which exceeds $25,000 in fair market value of the capital stock of the Company (determined at the time such option or right is granted) for each calendar year in which such option or right is outstanding.
PARTICIPATION: An eligible Employee may become a Participant by completing an authorization form (an "Authorization") for payroll deduction and providing the Authorization to the Company within the time specified in the Offering in such form as the Stock Administrator provides. Payroll deduction for a Participant shall commence on the applicable Offering Commencement Date when the authorization for a payroll deduction becomes effective. Once a Participant is enrolled, he will automatically be enrolled as a Participant in all Offerings unless the Participant terminates enrollment, becomes ineligible, or the Plan is terminated.
8. PAYROLL DEDUCTIONS:
AMOUNT OF DEDUCTION: An eligible Employee may become a Participant in an Offering by delivering a completed Authorization to the Stock Administrator within the time period specified which shall authorize payroll deductions of up to 10% (in increments of 1%) of such Participant's Compensation during the Offering, not to exceed the maximum number of shares that each Participant can purchase in each Offering (1,000 shares of Common Stock).
PARTICIPANT'S ACCOUNT: All payroll deductions made for a Participant shall be credited to his account under the Plan and applied toward the exercise of the Option and the purchase price of the underlying shares of Common Stock allocable to such Participant for each Offering Period on each applicable Offering Termination Date. At any time during an Offering period, a Participant may terminate his payroll deduction. A Participant may not make any separate cash payment into such account except when on leave
of absence and then only as provided in this Section 8. Other than discontinuing participation, a Participant may not otherwise change the terms of his participation in an Offering. No interest shall accrue to any balance of money credited to the account of a Participant under the Plan. Specifically, a Participant may not change his payroll deduction percentage for such Offering.
LEAVE OF ABSENCE: If a Participant takes a leave of absence, such Participant shall have the right to elect: (i) to withdraw the balance of the Participant's account, (ii) to discontinue contributions to the Plan but remain a Participant in the Plan during the first 90 days of such leave of absence, or (iii) to remain a Participant in the Plan during the first 90 days of such leave of absence, authorizing deductions to be made from payment by the Company to the Participant during such leave of absence. If the Participant agrees to remain a Participant in the Plan during such leave of absence, the Participant agrees to make cash payments to the Plan at the end of each payroll period to the extent that amounts payable by the Company to such Participant are insufficient to meet such Participant's authorized payroll deduction.
PARTICIPANTS SUBJECT TO SECTION 16 OF THE EXCHANGE ACT: Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Plan, except the provisions set forth in Section 7, any Participant subject to the requirements of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and the rules promulgated thereunder, shall not have the opportunity to withdraw or discontinue payroll deductions with respect to an Offering after such Participant completes an Authorization and the Offering period has commenced, provided that such Participant remains an Employee and subject to such requirements.
9. GRANT OF OPTION:
On the Offering Commencement Date, a participating Employee shall be deemed to have been granted an Option (each, an "Option") to purchase a maximum number of shares of Common Stock equal to an amount determined as follows: an amount equal to (i) that percentage of the Employee's Compensation which he has elected to have withheld up to 10% multiplied by (ii) the Participant's Compensation during the period of the Offering (iii) divided by 85% of the Market Value of the Common Stock. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that each Participant can purchase in each Offering is 1,000, subject to adjustment pursuant to the provisions of Section 13 hereof.
10. EXERCISE OF OPTION:
AUTOMATIC EXERCISE: On each Offering Termination Date, each Participant's accumulated payroll deduction (without any increase for interest) will be applied to the purchase of whole shares of Common Stock in accordance with the formula in Section 9, up to a maximum of 1,000 shares of Common Stock per employee. No fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of Options granted under the Plan. The amount, if any, of accumulated payroll deductions remaining in each Participant's account after the purchase of whole shares of Common Stock will be held in each such Participant's account for the purchase of shares under the next Offering under the Plan unless a Participant elects to withdraw from the Plan.
NON-TRANSFERABILITY OF OPTION: During a Participant's lifetime, Options held by such Participant under the Plan shall be exercisable only by that Participant.
DELIVERY OF STOCK: As promptly as is practicable after the Offering Termination Date of each Offering, the Company will deliver to each Participant, as appropriate, the Common Stock purchased upon exercise of Participant's option.
11. WITHDRAWAL:
GENERAL: A Participant may withdraw payroll deductions credited to his account under the Plan at any time by giving written notice to the Stock Administrator of the Company. All of the Participant's payroll deductions credited to the account will be paid promptly after receipt of the notice of withdrawal and no
further payroll deductions will be made from the Participant's pay during such Offering. The Company may treat any attempt to borrow by an Employee on the security of accumulated payroll deductions as an election to withdraw such payroll deductions.
EFFECT ON SUBSEQUENT PARTICIPATION: A Participant's withdrawal from any Offering will not have any effect upon his eligibility to participate in any succeeding Offering or in any similar plan which may hereafter be adopted by the Company.
TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT: Upon termination of the Participant's employment for any reason, including retirement (but excluding death while in the employ of the Company or continuation of a leave of absence for a period beyond 90 days), the payroll deductions credited to the participant's account will be returned to the Participant or, in the case of death subsequent to termination of employment, to the person or persons entitled to receive such payroll deductions as determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 14 hereof.
TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT DUE TO DEATH: Upon termination of the Participant's
employment because of death, the Participant's beneficiary shall have the right
to elect, by written notice given to the Stock Administrator prior to the
earlier of the Offering Termination Date or the expiration of a period of sixty
(60) days commencing with the date of the death of the Participant, either:
(a) to withdraw all of the payroll deductions credited to the Participant's account under the Plan, or
(b) to exercise the Participant's option for the purchase of Common Stock on the Offering Termination Date next following the date of the Participant's death for the purchase of the number of whole shares of Common Stock which the accumulated payroll deductions in the Participant's account at the date of the Participant's death will purchase in accordance with the formula set forth in Section 9 hereof, and any excess in such account will be returned to said beneficiary, without interest.
In the event that no such written notice of election shall be duly received by the Stock Administrator of the Company, the beneficiary shall automatically be deemed to have elected, pursuant to paragraph (b), to exercise the participant's option.
LEAVE OF ABSENCE: A Participant on leave of absence shall continue to be a
Participant in the Plan so long as such Participant is on continuous leave of
absence; provided, however, any Participant who has been on leave of absence for
more than 90 days and who is therefore not an Employee for the purpose of the
Plan shall not be entitled to participate in any Offering commencing after the
90th day of such leave of absence. Notwithstanding any other provisions of the
Plan, unless a Participant on leave of absence returns to regular full-time or
part-time employment with the Company or subsidiary of the Company, as
applicable, at the earlier of (a) the termination of such leave of absence or
(b) the 90th day of such leave of absence, such Participant's participation in
the Plan shall terminate on whichever of such dates first occurs, and the
payroll deductions credited to the Participant's account will be returned to the
Participant without interest.
12. AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION:
The Board of Directors shall have complete power and authority to
terminate or amend the Plan at any time; provided, however, that the Board of
Directors shall not, without the approval of the stockholders of the Company,
(i) materially increase the benefits accruing to Participants under the Plan,
(ii) increase the maximum number of shares of Common Stock which may be issued
under the Plan, (iii) materially modify requirements as to the class of
Employees eligible to participate in the Plan, or (iv) permit the members of the
Committee to participate in the Plan. No termination, modification, or amendment
of the Plan may adversely affect the rights of a Participant having an
outstanding Option under the Plan without the consent of such Participant.
13. RECAPITALIZATION OR REORGANIZATION:
If, at any time while any Options are outstanding, the outstanding shares of Common Stock have increased, decreased, changed into, or been exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or securities of the Company through reorganization, merger, recapitalization, reclassification, stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, or similar transaction, appropriate and proportionate adjustments may be made by the Committee in the number and/or kind of shares which are subject to purchase under outstanding Options and the exercise price or prices applicable to such outstanding Options.
Upon the dissolution or liquidation of the Company, or upon a reorganization, merger or consolidation of the Company with one or more corporations as a result of which the Company is not the surviving corporation, or upon a sale of substantially all of the property or stock of the Company to another corporation, the holder of each Option then outstanding under the Plan shall thereafter be entitled to receive at the next Offering Termination Date upon the exercise of such Options for each share as to which such Option shall be exercised, as nearly as reasonably may be determined, the cash, securities and/or property which a holder of one share of the Common Stock was entitled to receive upon and at the time of such transaction. The Board of Directors shall take such steps in connection with such transaction as it shall deem necessary to assure that all Participants shall receive the cash, securities and/or property as to which they may thereafter be entitled.
14. MISCELLANEOUS:
HOLDING PERIOD: An Employee must notify the Company promptly if the Employee disposes of Common Stock acquired under the Plan within two years of the date Options were granted hereunder to purchase such Common Stock.
RESTRICTIONS ON EXERCISE: Common Stock shall not be issued pursuant to the exercise of an Option, unless the exercise of such Option and the issuance and delivery of such shares of Common Stock pursuant thereto shall comply with all relevant provisions of law, including, without limitations, the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Exchange Act, the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, and the requirements of any stock exchange or quotation system upon which the Common Stock may then be traded, and shall be further subject to the approval of counsel for the Company with respect to such compliance.
As a condition to the exercise of an Option, the Company may require the Participant to represent and warrant at the time of such exercise that such shares are being purchased 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 by any of the aforementioned relevant provisions of law.
REGISTRATION OF STOCK: Common Stock to be delivered to a Participant under the Plan will be registered in the name of the Participant, or, if the Participant so directs by written notice to the Stock Administrator of the Company prior to the Offering Termination Date, in the names of the Participant and one such other person as may be designated by the Participant as joint tenants with rights of survivorship or as tenants by the entireties, to the extent permitted by applicable law.
DESIGNATION OF BENEFICIARY: A Participant may file a written designation of beneficiary who is to receive any Common Stock and/or payroll deductions remaining in such Participant's account. Such designation of beneficiary may be changed by the Participant at any time by written notice to the Stock Administrator. Upon the death of a Participant and upon receipt by the Stock Administrator of proof of identity and existence at the Participant's death of a beneficiary validly designated by him under the Plan, the Company shall deliver Common Stock and/or payroll deductions remaining in such Participant's account to such beneficiary. In the event of death of a Participant and in the absence of a beneficiary designated under the Plan who is living at the time of such Participant's death, the Stock Administrator shall deliver such Common Stock and/or remaining payroll deductions to the executor or administrator of the estate of the
Participant, or if no such executor or administrator has been appointed to the knowledge of the Stock Administrator, the Stock Administrator may deliver such Common Stock and/or remaining payroll deductions to the spouse or to any one or more dependents of the Participant as the Committee may designate. No beneficiary shall, prior to death of the Participant, acquire any interest in the stock or payroll deductions credited to the Participant's account.
TRANSFERABILITY: Neither payroll deductions credited to a Participant's account nor any rights to exercise an Option or to receive Common Stock under the Plan may be assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of in any way by a Participant other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. Any such attempted assignment, transfer, pledge or other disposition shall be without effect, except that the Committee may treat such act as an election by a Participant to withdraw his from an Offering or from the Plan.
PARTICIPANT'S INTEREST IN OPTION STOCK: Each Participant shall not have any rights or interest in the shares of Common Stock exercisable under an Option until such Option has been exercised in accordance with the provisions of the Plan.
USE OF FUNDS: All payroll deductions received or held by the Company under this Plan may be used by the Company for any corporate purpose and the Company shall not be obligated to segregate such payroll deductions from other Company assets.
NO EMPLOYMENT RIGHTS: The Plan does not, directly or indirectly, create any right for the benefit of any Employee or class of Employees to purchase any shares under the Plan, or create in any Employee or class of Employees any right with respect to continuation of employment by the Company or any subsidiary of the Company, and it shall not be deemed to interfere in any way with the Company's right to terminate, or otherwise modify, an Employee's employment at any time.
STOCKHOLDER RIGHTS: The holder of an option under this Plan shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to the shares of Common Stock covered by such option until the due exercise of such option and the date of issuance of one or more certificates registered in the name of such option holder evidencing such shares.
SECURITIES LAWS: With respect to persons subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, transactions under the Plan are intended to comply with all applicable conditions of Rule 16b-3 or its successors under the Exchange Act. To the extent any provision of the Plan or action by the Board of Directors or the Committee fails to so comply, it shall be deemed null and void to the extent permitted by law and deemed advisable by the Committee.
GOVERNING LAW: The provisions of this Plan shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware.
