INTERNAP NETWORK SERVICES CORPORATION 250 Williams Street Atlanta, Georgia 30303 PROXY STATEMENT FOR ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS TO BE HELD ON JUNE 17, 2003 INFORMATION ABOUT THE ANNUAL MEETING We are soliciting proxies on behalf of our board of directors, for use at our Annual Meeting of Stockholders on Tuesday, June 17, 2003, at 9:00 a.m. local time, or at any adjournment or postponement of the Annual Meeting. The Annual Meeting will be held at 250 Williams Street, Atlanta, Georgia 30303. When used in this proxy statement, the terms "we," "us," "our," the "company," and "Internap" refer to Internap Network Services Corporation. SEC rules require us to provide our Annual Report to stockholders who receive this proxy statement. We will also provide copies of the Annual Report to brokers, dealers, banks, voting trustees and their nominees for the benefit of their beneficial owners of record. Additional copies of the Annual Report, along with copies of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002 (not including documents incorporated by reference) are available to any stockholder without charge upon written request to Internap Network Services Corporation to the attention of Walter G. DeSocio, Vice President-Chief Administrative Officer, General Counsel and Secretary, 250 Williams Street, Atlanta, Georgia 30303. You may also obtain our Annual Report on Form 10-K over the Internet at the SEC's website, www.sec.gov, or at our website, www.Internap.com. The approximate date on which this proxy statement and form of proxy card are first being sent or given to stockholders is May 5, 2003. RECENT EVENTS On December 17, 2002, we held a special stockholders' meeting at which our stockholders approved a proposal regarding a reverse stock split. The proposal consisted of six separate amendments to our certificate of incorporation to authorize our board of directors to effect a reverse stock split, ranging from a one-for-five reverse stock split to a one-for-thirty reverse stock split, of all of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock. Our board of directors believes that effecting a reverse stock split may allow us to maintain our listing on The NASDAQ SmallCap Market and might in the future allow us to transfer our listing back to The NASDAQ National Market. If our board of directors determines to implement a reverse stock split, you will be provided with notice of the record date and other information regarding the reverse stock split. If implemented by our board of directors, the reverse stock split will be accomplished by converting all of our outstanding shares of common stock into a proportionately fewer number of shares of common stock. Each stockholder's proportionate ownership of the issued and outstanding shares of our common stock would remain the same, however, except for minor changes which may result from the treatment of fractional interests, as described below. Also, the reverse stock split, if implemented, will affect the outstanding options and warrants to purchase our common stock and certain other presently outstanding convertible securities with respect to our common stock (including the shares of our common stock issuable upon conversion of our Series A preferred stock), which contain anti-dilution provisions. Additionally, all of our option plans with respect to common stock include provisions requiring adjustments to the number of shares of our common stock covered thereby and the exercise prices of options granted under the plans, in the event of a reverse stock split. As a result, if the reverse stock split is implemented prior to our Annual Meeting, the share data contained in Proposals 4 through 9 will be adjusted to reflect the effects of the reverse stock split. No fractional shares of common stock will be issued in connection with a reverse stock split. If as a result of a reverse stock split, a stockholder of record will hold a fractional share, the stockholder, in lieu of the issuance of a fractional share, will be entitled to receive a payment in cash. However, the terms of some of our stock option plans do not require us to, and we therefore would not expect to, pay cash to optionholders in lieu of any fraction of a share issuable upon the exercise of an option. The ownership of a fractional interest will not give the holder thereof any voting, dividend or other right except to receive the cash payment therefore. The reverse stock split also will result in a relative increase in the available number of authorized but unissued shares of our common stock. The reverse stock split is more fully described in our definitive proxy statement dated November 8, 2002, and is available at the SEC's Internet website at www.sec.gov. GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT VOTING Who Can Vote Only holders of record of our common stock and our Series A preferred stock at the close of business on April 21, 2003 will be entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Annual Meeting. At the close of business on April 21, 2003, we had outstanding and entitled to vote 241,475,457 shares of common stock (including 79,441,696 shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of 2,887,661.284 outstanding shares of our Series A preferred stock and 17,113,606 warrants outstanding). Each holder of record of our common stock on April 21, 2003 will be entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters to be voted upon at the Annual Meeting. Each holder of record of our Series A preferred stock on April 21, 2003 will be entitled to the number of votes equal to the number of shares of common stock into which such shares of Series A preferred stock could then be converted pursuant to our certificate of incorporation. Quorum and Vote Required On all proposals, the presence, in person or by proxy, of a majority of the outstanding shares of our common stock and our Series A preferred stock is necessary to constitute a quorum at the Annual Meeting. With respect to Proposals 1, 2 and 3, the presence, in person or by proxy, of a majority of the outstanding shares of Series A preferred stock is also required. Although they may or may not be present for purposes of determining whether the requisite vote has been obtained for each of the proposals, proxies marked "abstain" and proxies which are held by a broker who does not have discretionary power to vote will be counted as present for determining whether a quorum is present at the Annual Meeting. In voting with regard to each of Proposals 1-9 and 11, and any other proposal that may properly come before the meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof, including, without limitation, an adjournment or postponement for the purpose of seeking additional proxies for any of the proposals, stockholders may vote in favor of the proposal or against the proposal or may abstain from voting. The vote required to approve each of Proposals 1 and 3 is governed by Delaware law and our certificate of incorporation, and is the affirmative vote of the holders of (i) sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66 2/3%) of the voting power of the outstanding shares of our common stock and Series A preferred stock (voting on an as converted basis), voting together as a single class, and (ii) a majority of the outstanding shares of our Series A preferred stock, voting as a separate class. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be considered present in determining whether a quorum is present and will have the same legal effect as voting against Proposals 1 and 3. The vote required to approve Proposal 2 also is governed by Delaware law and our certificate of incorporation, and is the affirmative vote of the holders of (i) a majority voting power of the outstanding shares of our common stock and our Series A preferred stock (voting on an as converted basis), voting together as a single class, and (ii) a majority of the voting power of the outstanding shares of our Series A preferred stock, voting as a separate class. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be considered in determining whether a quorum is present and will have the same legal effect as voting against Proposal 2. The vote required to approve Proposals 4 and 5 is governed by our certificate of incorporation and the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., or NASD, rules, and is the affirmative vote of the holders of (i) a majority of the voting power of the outstanding shares of our common stock and our Series A preferred stock (voting on an as converted basis), voting together as a single class, and (ii) a majority of the voting power of the outstanding shares of our Series A preferred stock, voting as a separate class. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be considered in determining whether a quorum is present and will have the same legal effect as voting against Proposals 4 and 5. 2 The vote required to approve each of Proposals 6, 7, 8 and 9 is governed by our bylaws and the NASD rules, and is the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of our common stock and our Series A preferred stock present in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting, voting together as a single class. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be considered present in determining whether a quorum is present and will have the same legal effect as voting against Proposals 6, 7, 8 and 9. In voting with regard to Proposal 10, stockholders may vote in favor of all nominees, withhold their votes as to all nominees or withhold their votes as to specific nominees. The vote required to approve Proposal 10 is governed by Delaware law and our bylaws and is a plurality of the votes of common stock and Series A preferred stock represented and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting, voting together as a single class. As a result, in accordance with Delaware law, votes that are withheld will be counted in determining whether a quorum is present but will have no other effect on the election of directors. The vote required to approve Proposal 11 is governed by our bylaws, and is the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of our common stock and our Series A preferred stock present in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting, voting together as a single class. As a result, abstentions will be considered in determining whether a quorum is present and the number of votes required to obtain the necessary majority vote and therefore, will have the same legal effect as voting against the proposal. Under the rules of the New York and American Stock Exchanges, which we refer to as the Exchanges, that govern most domestic stock brokerage firms, member firms that hold shares in street name for beneficial owners may, to the extent that such beneficial owners do not furnish voting instructions with respect to any or all proposals submitted for stockholder action, vote in their discretion upon proposals which are considered "discretionary" proposals under the rules of the Exchanges. These votes by brokers are considered as votes cast in determining the outcome of any discretionary proposal. We believe that Proposals 3, 10 and 11 are discretionary. Member brokerage firms that have received no instructions from their clients as to "non-discretionary" proposals do not have discretion to vote on these proposals. If the brokerage firm returns a proxy card without voting on a non-discretionary proposal because it received no instructions, this is referred to as a "broker non-vote" on the proposal. Granting A Proxy On The Internet You may grant a proxy to vote your shares by means of the Internet. The Internet voting procedures below are designed to authenticate your identity, to allow you to grant a proxy to vote your shares and to confirm that your instructions have been recorded properly. For shares registered in your name As a stockholder of record, you may go to http://www.voteproxy.com to grant a proxy to vote your shares by means of the Internet. You will be required to provide our number and control number contained on your proxy card. You will then be asked to complete an electronic proxy card. The votes represented by such proxy will be generated on the computer screen, and you will be prompted to submit or revise them as desired. For shares registered in the name of a broker or bank Most beneficial owners whose stock is held in street name receive instructions for granting proxies from their banks, brokers or other agents, rather than a proxy card. A number of brokers and banks are participating in a program provided through ADP Investor Communication Services that offers the means to grant proxies to vote shares by means of the telephone and Internet. If your shares are held in an account with a broker or bank participating in the ADP Investor Communication Services program, you may grant a proxy to vote those shares telephonically by calling the telephone number shown on the instruction form received from your broker or bank, or via the Internet at ADP Investor Communication Services' Web site at http://www.bsg.adp.com. General information for all shares voted via the Internet We must receive votes submitted via the Internet by 11:59 p.m., Eastern Daylight Time, on June 16, 2003. Submitting your proxy via the Internet will not affect your right to vote in person should you decide to attend the Annual Meeting. 3 Revocability of proxies Any stockholder delivering a proxy has the power to revoke it at any time before it is voted by (i) giving written notice to Walter G. DeSocio, Vice President-Chief Administrative Officer, General Counsel and Secretary, at 250 Williams Street, Atlanta, Georgia 30303, (ii) executing and delivering to Mr. DeSocio a proxy card bearing a later date, or (iii) voting in person at the Annual Meeting. Please note, however, that under the rules of the Exchanges, any beneficial owner of our common stock or our Series A preferred stock whose shares are held in a street name by a member brokerage firm may revoke his or her proxy and vote his or her shares in person at the Annual Meeting only in accordance with applicable rules and procedures of the Exchanges, as employed by the beneficial owner's brokerage firm. Cost of this Proxy We will bear the entire cost of solicitation of proxies, including the costs of preparing, assembling, printing and mailing this proxy statement, the proxy card and any additional information furnished to stockholders. We will furnish copies of solicitation materials to banks, brokerage houses, fiduciaries and custodians holding in their names shares of our common stock or our Series A preferred stock beneficially owned by others to forward to such beneficial owners. We may reimburse persons representing beneficial owners of common stock or our Series A preferred stock for their costs of forwarding solicitation materials to such beneficial owners. We have engaged W.F. Doring Co., a professional proxy solicitation firm, to solicit proxies on our behalf and anticipate the cost of those services will be $8,000. We may supplement the original solicitation of proxies by mail, by telephone, telegram or personal solicitation by our directors, officers or other regular employees. We will not pay any additional compensation to directors, officers or other regular employees for such services. 4 PROPOSAL 1 Amendment to Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws to Permit Holders of Series A Preferred Stock to Take Action By Written Consent in Lieu of a Meeting Our board of directors has unanimously approved, declared advisable and recommends that the stockholders approve, an amendment to our certificate of incorporation, which we refer to in this description as the Certificate Amendment and a related amendment to our bylaws, which we refer to as the Bylaws Amendment, pursuant to which the holders of our Series A preferred stock would be permitted to take action by written consent in lieu of a meeting. General On February 27, 2003, our board of directors adopted and declared advisable, subject to appropriate stockholder approval, the Certificate Amendment and the Bylaws Amendment, which together we refer to as the Consent Amendments as set forth in Appendix A hereto. The Company had previously received approval for the Consent Amendments at a special meeting of our holders of Series A preferred stock held on February 21, 2002 and at the 2002 Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on May 14, 2002, at which the holders of our common stock voting separately as a class approved the Consent Amendments. In late November 2002, we became aware that the Consent Amendments may not have been validly effected under Delaware law because although the holders of Series A preferred stock voting separately as a class and the holders of our common stock voting separately as a class approved the Consent Amendments, the Consent Amendments were not also approved by the requisite vote of the holders of our Series A preferred stock (voting on an as-converted basis) and our common stock, voting together as a single class, at the 2002 Annual Meeting. Summary Description of Amendments The following is a summary of the Consent Amendments. The complete text of the Consent Amendments (as well as the text of the provisions the Consent Amendments are replacing) is attached as Appendix A hereto. Certificate Amendment Article V, Section D of our certificate of incorporation provides that no action shall be taken by our stockholders (including both holders of our common stock and holders of our Series A preferred stock) except at an annual meeting or special meeting. The Certificate Amendment would revise Article V, Section D to permit the holders of our Series A preferred stock to take any action that may be taken or that is required by statute to be taken at any annual or special meeting, without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, so long as such action is taken in accordance with the bylaws. The proposed Certificate Amendment would, however, continue to require that any action to be taken by holders of our common stock be taken only at an annual or special meeting. Bylaws Amendment Section 13 of our bylaws provides that no action shall be taken by our stockholders (including both holders of our common stock and holders of our Series A preferred stock) except at an annual or special meeting. Section 13 also specifically states that no action shall be taken by our stockholders by written consent. The Bylaws Amendment would revise Section 13 to permit the holders of our Series A preferred stock to take any action that may be taken or that is required by statute to be taken at any annual or special meeting by written consent in lieu of a meeting. The Bylaws would, however, continue to require that any action taken by holders of our common stock be taken at an annual or special meeting and would also continue to specifically prohibit holders of our common stock from taking action by written consent. Reason for Permitting Series A Stockholder Action By Written Consent By amending our certificate of incorporation and bylaws as described above, we will have greater flexibility, speed and cost efficiency when soliciting approvals from holders of our Series A preferred stock. 5 Recommendation of the Board of Directors The Board of Directors unanimously recommends that you vote "FOR" the proposal to amend our certificate of incorporation and bylaws to permit the holders of Series A preferred stock to act by written consent in lieu of a meeting. 6 PROPOSAL 2 AMENDMENT TO CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION TO AMEND DEFINITION OF "LIQUIDATION EVENT" Our board of directors has approved and declared advisable, and recommends that the stockholders approve, an amendment to our certificate of incorporation that would limit the number of events giving rise to the liquidation rights of the holders of our Series A preferred stock, which in this description we refer to as the Liquidation Event Amendment. General On February 27, 2003, our board of directors unanimously adopted, subject to stockholder approval, the Liquidation Event Amendment as set forth in Appendix B hereto. During September and October 2002, we solicited and received the written consent of the holders of more than a majority of our shares of Series A preferred stock to the Liquidation Event Amendment. In late November 2002, it came to our attention that the written consent may not have been sufficient to validly effect the Liquidation Event Amendment under Delaware law because although the holders of more than a majority of our shares of Series A preferred stock voting as a single class approved the Liquidation Event Amendment, the Liquidation Event Amendment was not also approved by the holders of our Series A preferred stock (voting on an as-converted basis) and our common stock, voting together as a single class. As a result, we are now soliciting the vote of the holders of our common stock and our Series A preferred stock for Proposal 2. Effect of Liquidation Event Amendment The effect of the Liquidation Event Amendment will be to reduce the number of circumstances constituting a "deemed liquidation event" under the terms of our Series A preferred stock. The Liquidation Event Amendment would generally limit the occurrence of a "deemed liquidation event" to certain events that have been approved by our board of directors or that are otherwise under our control. Upon the occurrence of a liquidation, including a "deemed liquidation event", the holders of our Series A preferred stock would be entitled to be paid out of our assets legally available for distribution or the consideration received in such transaction certain preferential distributions before any distributions could be made to the holders of our common stock. More specifically, upon a liquidation of our company, the holders of our Series A preferred stock would be entitled to receive an amount equal to the original issue price of our Series A preferred stock, adjusted as provided in our certificate of incorporation, plus any declared and unpaid dividends thereon. Such amount is currently equal to $32.00 per share of Series A preferred stock or approximately $92,405,161 in the aggregate for all outstanding shares of Series A preferred stock. After receiving such preferential distribution upon a liquidation, holders of our Series A preferred stock would then be entitled to participate ratably with the holders of our common stock in any of our remaining assets or consideration received in such transaction until such holders of our Series A preferred stock shall have received three times their original issue price, adjusted as provided in our certificate of incorporation. By limiting the number of circumstances that would constitute a "deemed liquidation event", the number of circumstances that would result in such a preferential distribution to the holders of our Series A preferred stock would be correspondingly reduced. Reasons for Liquidation Event Amendment The Liquidation Event Amendment has been approved and declared advisable by our board of directors in order to permit the shares of Series A preferred stock to be treated as a component of stockholders' equity for purposes of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. Because of certain features of the definition of "deemed liquidation event" currently contained in our certificate of incorporation, our shares of Series A preferred stock are not treated under GAAP as a component of stockholders' equity. Our level of stockholders' equity is important for purposes of our NASDAQ listing because it is one of the listing criteria for continuation of our listing on the NASDAQ SmallCap Market and for possible transfer of our listing back to the NASDAQ National Market. As of December 31, 2002, our stockholders' equity was $1.8 million. Increasing our stockholders' equity would provide flexibility in meeting one of several core listing requirements for continued listing on the NASDAQ SmallCap Market or meeting the higher stockholders' equity criterion for listing on the NASDAQ National Market. 7 Other Considerations Relating to the Liquidation Event Amendment Although our board of directors has declared the Liquidation Event Amendment advisable and believes that the potential advantages of adopting the Liquidation Event Amendment outweigh any disadvantages that might result, the Liquidation Event Amendment could be viewed as having an adverse impact on the holders of our Series A preferred stock and a potential beneficial impact on the holders of our common stock. The Liquidation Event Amendment would require that the holders of our shares of Series A preferred stock forfeit certain rights that they have to construe as "deemed liquidation events" certain events that are not approved by our board of directors or not effected voluntarily by us. Recommendation of the Board of Directors The Board of Directors unanimously recommends that you vote "FOR" the proposal to amend our certificate of incorporation to amend the definition of "Liquidation Event." 8 PROPOSAL 3 AMENDMENT TO CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION TO INCREASE THE AUTHORIZED SIZE OF THE COMPANY'S BOARD OF DIRECTORS TO NINE MEMBERS Our board of directors has approved, declared advisable and recommends that stockholders approve, an amendment to our certificate of incorporation providing for the increase in the authorized maximum size of our board of directors to nine members. General Our board of directors regularly reviews the state of our corporate governance policies and procedures, including, through the board's nominations committee, an evaluation of the board's size, composition and functions. At a meeting on February 27, 2003, the board of directors adopted a resolution, subject to stockholder approval, setting forth an amendment to our certificate of incorporation to increase the maximum number of directors from seven to nine. Our board of directors currently consists of three classes of directors and seven members in total. Currently, subject to certain conditions set forth in our certificate of incorporation, the holders of our Series A preferred stock have the right, voting as a separate class, to elect two directors to our board of directors and to fill any vacancy caused by the resignation, death of removal of such directors. If Proposal 3 is approved by shareholders and the certificate of incorporation is amended as described herein, our board of directors may in the future increase the authorized number of directors from seven to some number greater than seven, but no more than nine, in accordance with our bylaws. Upon such increase, our board of directors will fill the vacancy caused by any such increase in the authorized number of directors and determine the class of directors (Class I, Class II or Class III) such director shall join. The company currently has three classes of directors, with Class I consisting of two directors, Class II consisting of two directors and Class III consisting of three directors. Reasons for Increasing the Size of the Board of Directors We believe that our board of directors should consist of a significant majority of directors who are not affiliated with Internap. We also believe that our directors should possess the breadth and depth of experience and skills necessary for proper oversight of our affairs and adequate participation of unaffiliated directors in key committees of the board, particularly those committees the composition of which are subject to applicable listing requirements or regulations or could in the future be subject to such requirements or regulations. While no individual has been formally recommended for election at this time, the proposed authorization will provide flexibility for the board to make future appointments as and when suitable candidates are identified. This will also facilitate our ability to address evolving governance standards and facilitate compliance with any new rules, regulations or standards issued or adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission or by NASDAQ. Summary Description of the Amendment Currently, the last sentence of Article IV, Subsection (D)(3)(c)(i) of our certificate of incorporation states: "[t]he Board of Directors shall consist of no more than seven (7) members." If approved, Proposal 3 would revise this sentence as follows: "The Board of Directors shall consist of no more than nine (9) members." If Proposal 3 is approved, and the board of directors increases the authorized number of directors from seven to some number greater than seven, but no more than nine, in accordance with our bylaws, the vacancies on the board of directors resulting from the increase in the number of directors shall be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors then in office, although less than a quorum. Any director so elected shall hold office for the remainder of the term of the class for which the vacancy was created or until such director's successor has been elected and qualified or until such directors earlier death, resignation or removal. 9 Recommendation of the Board of Directors The Board of Directors unanimously recommends that you vote "FOR" the proposal to amend our certificate of incorporation to increase the authorized size of the Board of Directors to nine members. 10 PROPOSAL 4 APPROVAL OF 2002 STOCK COMPENSATION PLAN AND AMENDMENTS TO INCREASE BY 22,000,000 SHARES THE NUMBER OF SHARES OF COMMON STOCK RESERVED FOR ISSUANCE THEREUNDER AND TO CHANGE THE DEFINITION OF CHANGE IN CONTROL General In September 2002, our board of directors approved and adopted the 2002 Stock Compensation Plan, which we refer to in this description as the 2002 Plan, in connection with a tender offer made to our employees in November 2002 providing, subject to certain conditions, for the surrender and cancellation of certain stock options and the future issuance of replacement stock options. The purposes of the 2002 Plan are to attract and retain the best available personnel for the company, to provide additional incentives to our personnel and to align the interests of our personnel with our interests. Currently the maximum number of shares that may be issued under the 2002 Plan is 32,000,000 shares, less the number of shares then subject to option under our other stock option plans, which as of April 7, 2003 was 2,078,533. On February 27, 2003, our board of directors adopted, subject to appropriate stockholder approval, a resolution requesting ratification of the 2002 Plan and an amendment to the 2002 Plan to increase by 22,000,000 shares the number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance thereunder. THE 22,000,000 SHARES WILL BE REDUCED PROPORTIONALLY TO REFLECT THE EFFECTS OF ANY REVERSE STOCK SPLIT, WHETHER EFFECTED PRIOR TO OR AFTER THE ANNUAL MEETING. In addition, our board of directors has approved, and recommends that stockholders approve, an amendment to the 2002 Plan such that the definition of "change in control" and related provisions conform to the corresponding definitions and provisions set forth in executive employment agreements dated as of December 31, 2002, between us and seven executives, including all of our executive officers. Reasons for Ratification and Increasing the Number of Shares Reserved for Issuance We have determined that approval of the 2002 Plan by our stockholders is advisable for several reasons. Shareholder approval would allow us to comply with specified exclusions from limitations imposed under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, on the deductibility by us of certain compensation expenses. Such approval also would be consistent with customary practice relative to stock compensation plans and would afford participants in those plans certain benefits that are consistent with our interests. Since we announced in June 2002 the decision to relocate our corporate headquarters from Seattle, Washington, to Atlanta, Georgia, we have recruited a substantial number of new employees, including the majority of our senior executives and other executive-level employees. In connection with that relocation and other personnel changes, and consistent with our philosophy that aligning the interests of employees and the company is an important factor for business success, we granted options to newly recruited employees and to a significant percentage of existing employees not located in our Atlanta headquarters office. We continue to recruit key employees and expect to do so for the foreseeable future. In addition, we expect that stock options and other equity-based compensation will be a significant component of bonus and long-term compensation for existing employees, particularly at and above the executive level. We also may require additional shares for compensation use in connection with future acquisitions or other business combinations. The Compensation Committee of our board of directors and our board evaluated all of the foregoing factors in reaching a determination to increase the number of shares available for option grants and awards under the 2002 Plan. As of January 31, 2003, an aggregate of 1,618,285 shares of common stock have been purchased or options with respect thereto have been granted under the 2002 Plan. Reasons for Amending the Change in Control Provisions On December 17, 2002, the Compensation Committee of our board of directors authorized our execution of employment agreements with six named executives. Since April 2002, we have recruited a significant number of executive-level employees, including all but one of our executive officers. In the fall of 2002, the Compensation Committee of our board determined that it would be in our best interests to ensure that key members of our executive management team were provided with at-will employment agreements that provided, among other things, 11 certain severance payments and benefits in the event of involuntary termination without cause and certain other severance payments and benefits in the event of involuntary termination without cause or constructive termination following specified events constituting a "change in control." The executive employment agreements are described in greater detail in the "Executive Employment Agreements" section of this proxy statement. Because the term "change in control" is not consistently defined between the executive employment agreements and the 2002 Plan, if an event occurred that constituted a change in control under the executive employment agreements but did not constitute a change in control under the 2002 Plan, it would be unclear whether we could perform our obligations under the executive employment agreements without violating the terms and conditions of the 2002 Plan. The board of directors believes that the amendment is necessary to assure that the provisions of the executive employment agreements are valid and binding agreements and that we are able to perform our obligations and commitments under the executive employment agreements. The board of directors believes that it is important for the performance of our executive officers to have confidence in their employment agreements and that such agreements will not be determined to be unenforceable or preempted as a result of an unintended inconsistency with the 2002 Plan. Summary Description of the 2002 Stock Compensation Plan and Proposed Amendments The following is a summary of the principal features of the 2002 Plan. However, the summary does not purport to be a complete description of all the provisions of the 2002 Plan. A copy of the full text of the 2002 Plan will be furnished to any stockholder without charge upon written request made to Walter G. DeSocio the Secretary of Internap. A copy of the proposed amendment to the 2002 Plan is contained in Appendix D attached to this proxy statement. Introduction The 2002 Plan is intended to help us attract and retain the best personnel, to provide additional incentive to our personnel, and to promote our success. Stock Subject to Awards The stock currently subject to the awards under the 2002 Plan is our authorized but unissued or reacquired common stock, par value $.001 per share. Currently, up to 32,000,000 shares of our common stock are authorized for issuance under the 2002 Plan (which would under the current terms of the 2002 Plan increase to 50,000,000 shares upon approval of the plan by our Series A preferred stockholders), less the number of shares of our common stock subject to options and other equity awards under the SwitchSoft Systems, Inc. Founders 1996 Stock Option Plan, the SwitchSoft Systems, Inc. 1997 Stock Option Plan, the Internap Network Services Corporation 1998 Stock Option/Stock Issuance Plan, the Internap Network Services Corporation Amended 1999 Equity Incentive Plan, the Internap Network Services Corporation 1999 Non-Employee Directors' Stock Option Plan, the Internap Network Services Corporation 1999 Stock Incentive Plan For Non-Officers (formerly the CO SPACE, Inc. 1999 Stock Incentive Plan), and the Internap Network Services Corporation 2000 Non-Officer Equity Incentive Plan. Under the proposed amendment, up to 54,000,000 shares of our common stock would be authorized for issuance under the 2002 Plan (the increase upon approval by our Series A preferred stockholders would be eliminated), less the shares subject to options and other equity awards under the plans listed above. In the event that any award expires or becomes unexercisable without having been exercised in full, the shares not acquired under the award will again become available for issuance under the 2002 Plan, and shares subject to unvested stock bonuses which expire or terminate will again become available for issuance under the 2002 Plan. The number of awards issued and the number of awards available for issuance under the 2002 Plan may be adjusted as described below in the event of a capital reorganization. On April 25, 2003, the closing price of our common stock as reported on the NASDAQ SmallCap Market was $.45 per share. 12 Types of Awards The 2002 Plan permits grants of nonqualified stock options, restricted stock bonuses, and rights to acquire restricted stock. Administration The 2002 Plan is administered by our board of directors, or one or more committees, or a combination thereof, as determined by the board. If permitted under law, the board may also authorize one or more of our employees to grant options under the plan. In this summary, we will refer to the administrative body of the 2002 Plan as the committee. Among other powers and duties, the committee interprets plan provisions; establishes rules for operation of the 2002 Plan; determines who will be granted awards from among the eligible individuals; determines the type of award, the price of any award where applicable, the provisions of each award granted, and the number of shares underlying each award; and has the power to modify or amend awards. Our board of directors has named our Compensation Committee as the committee authorized to administer the 2002 Plan. Eligibility for Awards General. In consideration of their services, our directors, employees and consultants are eligible for all awards permitted under the 2002 Plan. Consultants include any person engaged by us to render consulting or advisory services and who is compensated for those services, but excluding our officers and directors. Consultants also include any member of the board of directors or governing body of any of our affiliates. No employee, director or consultant is eligible to receive options for more than 10,000,000 shares of our stock during any calendar year. Limitation on Grants to Officers and Directors. The aggregate number of shares of our stock issued under the 2002 Plan to our officers (as defined under Rule 16a-1(f) of the Exchange Act) and directors cannot exceed 50% of the shares reserved under the 2002 Plan, as determined at the time of an award issuance to an officer or director, but shares for awards granted to officers not previously employed by us as an inducement to enter an employment contract with us are not counted in this limit. Furthermore, during each period beginning August 14, 2002 and ending August 14 of each year on and after 2005 through the term of the 2002 Plan, less than 50% of the shares subject to awards granted during each such period may be granted to officers and directors, but shares for awards granted to officers not previously employed by us as an inducement to enter an employment contract with us are not counted in this limit. As of April 7, 2003, there were approximately 7 directors, 5 officers, 323 employees (excluding officers and directors who are also employees) and 14 consultants eligible to receive grants under the 2002 Plan. Options Granted As of April 7, 2003, we have granted no options under the 2002 Plan. Terms of Options Options granted under the 2002 Plan have terms and conditions as determined by the committee, subject to the provisions and limitations described below: Option Price. The exercise price of each option granted under the 2002 Plan is determined by the committee. 13 Vesting. Exercisability and vesting of options is determined by the committee, and may include performance criteria. Vesting may be tolled during an unpaid leave of absence. Term of Options. The term of an option will not be more than ten years from the date of grant unless otherwise provided in the option agreement. Termination of Employment or Service. Following a termination of employment or service for any reason, all unexercised options that were exercisable on the date employment or service terminated remain exercisable (not extending beyond expiration of the options' term) for: o such period of time as may be provided in the option agreement, if the termination is for any reason other than death or disability; o 12 months, or such other period of time as may be provided in the option agreement, if the termination is due to disability; and o 18 months, or such other period of time as may be provided in the option agreement, if the termination is due to death. The committee has full power to extend the exercisability of options following termination of employment or service, up to the date of expiration. Exercise of Options. Payment of the exercise price is made in any form determined by the committee, including cash, check, promissory note, by surrender to us of shares of our common stock that have either been held for more than six months or were not acquired from us, retention of shares, broker-assisted cashless exercise, subscription agreement, or any other form of legal consideration permitted under law. Buy-Out. The committee is permitted to offer to buy out, in cash or shares of our common stock, an option previously granted, on such terms and conditions as the committee decides. Terms of Restricted Stock Bonuses Restricted stock bonuses granted under the 2002 Plan have terms and conditions as determined by our board of directors, subject to the provisions described below: Grant. Restricted stock bonuses may be granted in consideration for past services actually rendered. Vesting. A restricted stock bonus award may be subject to reacquisition by us under the provisions of a vesting schedule. Termination of Employment or Service. Upon a termination of employment or service with us for any reason, we may reacquire the unvested portion of a restricted stock bonus award under the terms of the agreement governing the award. Terms of Restricted Stock Purchase Awards Restricted stock purchase awards granted under the 2002 Plan have terms and conditions as determined by our board of directors, subject to the provisions described below: Purchase Price. The purchase price of restricted stock under restricted stock purchase awards under the 2002 Plan is determined by the board. The purchase price is to be paid in cash, under a deferred payment or similar arrangement if the board decides, or in any other form of legal consideration that may be acceptable to the board in its discretion. Vesting. Restricted stock issued under a restricted stock purchase award may be subject to reacquisition under the provisions of a vesting schedule. Termination of Employment or Service. Upon a termination of employment or service with us for any reason, we may reacquire the unvested portion of a restricted stock purchase award. 14 Fair Market Value Fair market value is generally the closing sale price of our common stock (or the closing bid, if no sales were reported) quoted for the relevant date (or preceding business day if not available for the relevant date) on the NASDAQ SmallCap Market, as published in The Wall Street Journal. Change in Control In the event of a change in control, each outstanding option shall be assumed or an equivalent option substituted by the successor or its parent or subsidiary. If the successor does not agree to assume the option or substitute an equivalent option, the option automatically terminates upon consummation of the change in control. Current Provisions. Under current provisions, the term "change in control" is not explicitly defined, but would include a proposed merger or consolidation of us with or into another corporation, or a sale, exchange, lease or similar transfer of all or substantially all of our assets. Proposed Amendment. Under the proposed amendment, "change in control" would be defined as: The acquisition by any individual, entity or group within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act of beneficial ownership within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act, of 30% or more of either our then outstanding shares of common stock or the combined voting power entitled to vote on election of our directors, but excluding: o acquisition directly from us other than by virtue of the exercise of a conversion privilege unless the converted security was acquired from us, o any acquisition by us, o any acquisition by an employee benefit plan or related trust sponsored or maintained by us or any company we control, o any acquisition by a corporation in a transaction in which all or substantially all of the beneficial owners of our common stock before the transaction beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than 60% of the outstanding shares of common stock of the resulting corporation (in this definition, the resulting corporation includes any parent owning our assets through its subsidiaries following a transaction), in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of our common stock before the transaction, o any acquisition by a corporation in a transaction in which all or substantially all of the beneficial owners of the combined voting power entitled to vote on election of our directors before the transaction beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than 60% of the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors of the resulting corporation, in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of such voting stock before the transaction, o any acquisition by a corporation in a transaction in which no entity (other than us, our employee benefit plan or related trust, or the resulting corporation in the transaction) will beneficially own, directly or indirectly, 50% or more of the outstanding shares of common stock of the resulting corporation or 50% or more of the combined voting power of the outstanding securities of the resulting corporation entitled to vote in the election of directors, unless such ownership resulted solely from ownership of our securities before the transaction, and o any acquisition by a corporation in a transaction in which members of the incumbent board (as described below) will immediately after consummation of the transaction constitute at least a majority of the board of the resulting corporation. A change in the composition of our board of directors such that individuals who constitute the board as of December 31, 2002, excluding members elected pursuant to the terms of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, which we refer to as the incumbent board, cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of our board (excluding the Series A directors); however, any director whose election or nomination was approved by a vote of at least a majority of the incumbent board will be considered to be included as a member of the incumbent board, and 15 any individual whose initial assumption of office as a director occurs as a result of or in connection with either an actual or threatened election contest as defined in Rule 14a-11 under the Exchange Act, or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents on behalf of an entity other than our board of directors, will not be considered a member of the incumbent board. Our stockholders' approval of a merger, reorganization, consolidation or sale or other disposition of all or substantially all our assets, or if any such transaction is subject to governmental consent, the obtaining of such consent, excluding the following: o a transaction in which all or substantially all of the beneficial owners of our common stock before the transaction beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than 60% of the outstanding shares of common stock of the resulting corporation (in this definition, the resulting corporation includes any parent owning our assets through its subsidiaries following a transaction), in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of our common stock before the transaction, o a transaction in which all or substantially all of the beneficial owners of the combined voting power entitled to vote on election of our directors before the transaction beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than 60% of the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors of the resulting corporation, in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of such voting stock before the transaction, o a transaction in which no entity (other than us, our employee benefit plan or related trust, or the resulting corporation in the transaction) will beneficially own, directly or indirectly, 50% or more of the outstanding shares of common stock of the resulting corporation or 50% or more of the combined voting power of the outstanding securities of the resulting corporation entitled to vote in the election of directors, unless such ownership resulted solely from ownership of our securities before the transaction, and o a transaction in which individuals who were members of the incumbent board will immediately after consummation of the transaction constitute at least a majority of the board of the resulting corporation. The approval by our stockholders of our complete dissolution or liquidation. The amendment also confirms that an award may specify that upon a Change in Control, vesting under such award may be accelerated and the time for exercise may be extended and that the Board may add such rights to previously granted awards by amendment. The amendment will become effective upon the date of stockholder approval. Amendment and Termination Except as prohibited by applicable law or otherwise expressly provided in an award agreement, the board may amend, alter, suspend or discontinue the 2002 Plan at any time, but no amendment, alteration, suspension or discontinuance or termination of the 2002 Plan will be made which would impair grantee rights under outstanding awards without the grantee's consent. No amendment will affect options already granted unless the award recipient and the board consent in writing. The board may amend the terms of outstanding awards at any time, but the grantee's rights will not be materially impaired and his or her obligations will not be materially increased without the grantee's written consent. Adjustments Subject to any required stockholder action, in the event of a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, spinoff, combination or reclassification of our common stock, or any other increase or decrease in the number of shares or change in the price or characteristic of shares of our common stock effected without our receiving consideration, the board will make an appropriate adjustment to the number of shares subject to the 2002 Plan, and to the number of securities and price per share of outstanding awards. In the event of any distribution to our stockholders of property other than dividends payable in cash or our common stock, without our receiving consideration, the committee may appropriately adjust the price per share of common stock covered by outstanding awards. 16 Dissolution or Liquidation If we are dissolved or liquidated, the board must notify optionees at least 15 days before the dissolution or liquidation, and all outstanding awards under the 2002 Plan automatically terminate immediately before the dissolution or liquidation. Transferability Unless otherwise provided by the committee, options are not transferable except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. The committee may in its discretion grant transferable options. Rights to acquire shares of our stock under a restricted stock bonus agreement are transferable as set forth in the stock bonus agreement (which is subject to the committee's discretion). Rights to acquire shares of our stock under a restricted stock purchase agreement are transferable as set forth in the restricted stock purchase agreement (which is subject to the committee's discretion). Federal Income Tax Consequences The following is a brief general description of the consequences under the Internal Revenue Code, or IRC, of the receipt or exercise of options under the 2002 Plan: Incentive Stock Options. The 2002 Plan does not provide for the grant of incentive stock options. Nonqualified Stock Options. Neither we nor the option holder has income tax consequences from the issuance of nonqualified stock options. Generally, in the tax year when an option holder exercises nonqualified stock options, the option holder recognizes ordinary income in the amount by which the fair market value of the shares at the time of exercise exceeds the option price for such shares. We generally will have a deduction in the same amount as the ordinary income recognized by the option holder in our tax year in which or with which the option holder's tax year (of exercise) ends. If an option holder exercises a nonqualified stock option by paying the option price with previously acquired shares of our common stock, additional rules apply. Limitation on Company Deductions. No federal income tax deduction is allowed for compensation paid to a "covered employee" in any of our taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 1994, to the extent that such compensation exceeds $1,000,000. For this purpose, "covered employees" are generally defined as our chief executive officer and our four highest compensated officers whose annual salary and bonus exceeds $100,000, and the term "compensation" generally includes amounts includable in gross income as a result of the exercise of stock options, or the receipt of stock options. This deduction limitation does not apply to compensation that is (1) commission-based compensation, (2) performance-based compensation, (3) compensation which would not be includable in an employee's gross income, and (4) compensation payable under a written binding contract in existence on February 17, 1993, and not materially modified thereafter. Compensation attributable to a stock option will generally satisfy the limitation exception for performance-based compensation if: o the grant or award is made by a "compensation committee" (a committee composed of "outside" directors); o the "material terms" (including which employees are eligible to receive compensation, the maximum number of shares that may be granted to an optionee and the exercise price of the options) of the plan under which the option or right is granted are disclosed to stockholders and approved by a majority of the stockholder vote; o the "compensation committee" certifies that performance goals were in fact satisfied before the compensation is paid; and o under the terms of the option or right, the amount of compensation the employee could receive is based solely on an increase in the value of the stock after the date of the grant or award. 17 Stock options granted under the 2002 Plan may satisfy these requirements, depending on their terms and conditions. The foregoing discussion is not a complete discussion of all federal income tax aspects of the 2002 Plan. Some of the provisions contained in the IRC have only been summarized, and additional qualifications and refinements may be contained in regulations which will be issued in the future by the Internal Revenue Service. Furthermore, subsequent legislative changes or changes in administrative or judicial interpretation could alter significantly the tax treatment discussed herein. No discussion of state income tax law has been included. Each employee should consult his or her own tax advisors with respect to the tax consequences of participation in the 2002 Plan and disposition of shares acquired under the 2002 Plan. ERISA. The 2002 Plan is not, and is not intended to be, an employee benefit plan or qualified retirement plan. The 2002 Plan is not, therefore, subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, or Section 401(a) of the IRC. Recommendation of the Board of Directors The Board of Directors unanimously recommends that you vote "FOR" the proposal to approve the 2002 Stock Compensation Plan and the amendments to the 2002 Stock Compensation Plan to increase by 22,000,000 shares the number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance thereunder and to change the definition of change in control. 18 PROPOSAL 5 AMENDMENT TO THE 1999 NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTORS' STOCK OPTION PLAN TO INCREASE BY 3,000,000 SHARES THE NUMBER OF SHARES OF COMMON STOCK RESERVED FOR ISSUANCE THEREUNDER Our board of directors has approved, and recommends that stockholders approve, an amendment to the Internap Network Services Corporation 1999 Non-Employee Directors' Stock Option Plan, which we refer to in this description as the NEDSOP, increasing by 3,000,000 shares the number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the NEDSOP. THE 3,000,000 SHARES WILL BE REDUCED PROPORTIONALLY TO REFLECT THE EFFECTS OF ANY REVERSE STOCK SPLIT, WHETHER EFFECTED PRIOR TO OR AFTER THE ANNUAL MEETING. General On July 22, 1999, our board of directors approved and adopted, subject to stockholder approval, the NEDSOP. The NEDSOP was approved by our stockholders on August 23, 1999. Currently, a maximum of 500,000 shares of the company's common stock may be issued under the NEDSOP. Reasons for Increasing the Number of Shares Reserved for Issuance Our board of directors believes that the amendment is necessary to assure that a sufficient reserve of common stock remains available for issuance under the NEDSOP to allow us to continue to utilize equity incentives to attract and retain the services of non-employee directors having the requisite skills and experience to serve as members of our board of directors. Consequently, we believe that the use of shares under the NEDSOP will provide us with a means for competing for and obtaining the services of such qualified persons. Under the proposed amendment to the NEDSOP, we will be authorized to grant options to purchase up to 3,500,000 shares of our common stock, an increase of 3,000,000 shares from the level currently authorized. Our board of directors anticipates that the 3,000,000 additional shares, combined with shares currently available for grant under the NEDSOP, should be sufficient for non-employee director grants for the foreseeable future. The amendment will become effective upon the date of stockholder approval. Summary Description of the 1999 Non-Employee Directors' Stock Option Plan The following is a summary of the principal features of the NEDSOP. However, the summary does not purport to be a complete description of all the provisions of the NEDSOP. A copy of the full text of the NEDSOP will be furnished to any stockholder without charge upon written request made to Walter G. DeSocio the Secretary of Internap. A copy of the proposed amendment to the NEDSOP is contained in Appendix E attached to this proxy statement. Introduction to the 1999 Non-Employee Directors Stock Option Plan The NEDSOP is intended to help us secure and retain the services of quality non-employee directors and to provide additional incentives for those individuals to increase their efforts on our behalf. Stock Subject to Awards The stock currently subject to the awards under the NEDSOP is our common stock, par value $.001 per share. Up to 500,000 shares of our common stock are authorized for issuance under the NEDSOP. In the event that an option expires or otherwise terminates without being exercised, the shares not acquired under the option will again become available for issuance under the plan. The number of awards issued and the number of awards available for issuance under the NEDSOP may be adjusted as described below in the event of a capital reorganization. On April 25, 2003, the closing price of our common stock as reported on the NASDAQ SmallCap Market was $.45 per share. 19 Types of Awards The NEDSOP permits grants of nonqualified stock options, which are options that do not qualify as incentive stock options under IRC Section 422, and therefore are taxed under IRC Section 83. Administration The NEDSOP is administered by our board of directors. Among other powers and duties, the board interprets plan provisions; establishes rules for operation of the NEDSOP; and determines the provisions of each option granted. Eligibility for Awards In consideration of their services, each person who is a non-employee director is eligible for all awards permitted under the NEDSOP. As of April 7, 2003, there were 6 directors eligible to receive grants under the NEDSOP. Options Granted As of April 7, 2003, current directors who are not executive officers have been granted an aggregate of 560,000 options. Each nominee for election as a director has been granted options as follows: Gregory A. Peters -- no options and Robert D. Shurtleff -- 140,000 options. Robert D. Shurtleff received or is to receive 5% of the options under the NEDSOP. Terms of Options Options granted under the NEDSOP have terms and conditions as determined by the board, subject to the following: Formula Grants to Directors. The NEDSOP provides for automatic option grants to non-employee directors according to a formula under the plan. Under the formula, as of the date of initial election or appointment as a non-employee, such non-employee director will automatically receive an option to purchase 40,000 shares. As of the day following the annual stockholders meeting each year, each director who is then a non-employee director and who has been a non-employee director for at least six months will automatically receive an option to purchase 10,000 shares. Option Price. The exercise price of each option shall be 100% of the fair market value of the stock subject to the option on the date the option is granted. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an option may be granted with an exercise price lower than that set forth in the preceding sentence if the option is granted pursuant to an assumption or substitution for another option in a manner satisfying the provisions of IRC Section 424(a). Vesting. The options are fully vested and exercisable upon receipt. Term of Options. The term of any option cannot be more than ten years from the date of grant. Termination of Employment or Service. Upon a termination of service with us, all unexercised options remain exercisable (not extending beyond expiration of the options' term) for: o three months, if the termination is for any reason other than death or disability; o one year, if the termination is due to disability; and o 18 months, if the termination is due to death or if the optionee dies within three months after termination of service other than due to death. Exercise of Options. Payment of the exercise price is generally made in cash, or, if the committee decides, by cashless exercise, by surrender to us of shares of our common stock, according to a deferred payment or other 20 arrangement or by any other form of legal consideration that may be acceptable to the board and provided in the option agreement. Fair Market Value Fair market value is generally the closing sales or bid price of our common stock quoted for the last business day before the relevant date for which prices are available on the NASDAQ SmallCap Market, as published in The Wall Street Journal. Change of Control In the event of a sale, lease or other disposition of all or substantially all of our assets, a merger or consolidation in which we are not the surviving corporation, or a reverse merger in which we are the surviving corporation but in which our shares are converted into other property, any surviving corporation or acquiring corporation may assume or continue outstanding awards or may substitute similar awards for those outstanding under the NEDSOP. Amendment and Termination Our board of directors may amend or terminate the NEDSOP at any time, and the NEDSOP automatically expires on July 21, 2009. However, awards already granted will not be affected by termination of the plan. The committee may amend, modify or terminate any outstanding awards under the NEDSOP, but the grantee's consent is required unless the committee determines that the action would not materially and adversely affect the grantee. No amendment will be effective without shareholder approval if necessary to satisfy Rule 16b-3 or any NASDAQ or Securities Exchange listing requirements, and the board may decide to submit any other amendment for shareholder approval. Adjustments In the event of changes in our common stock without our receiving consideration, through merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization, reincorporation, stock dividend, dividend in property other than cash, stock split, liquidating dividend, combination of shares, exchange of shares, change in corporate structure or other transaction, the board will make an appropriate adjustment to the classes and number of shares subject to the NEDSOP, and to the class of shares, number of securities and price per share of outstanding awards. Dissolution or Liquidation If we are dissolved or liquidated, all outstanding awards under the NEDSOP automatically terminate immediately before the dissolution or liquidation. Transferability Options may not be transferred except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. Federal Income Tax Consequences The receipt or exercise of options under the NEDSOP has the consequences described under the sub-heading Nonqualified Stock Options under the federal income tax consequences discussion in Proposal 4 above. The foregoing discussion is not a complete discussion of all federal income tax aspects of the NEDSOP. Some of the provisions contained in the IRC have only been summarized, and additional qualifications and refinements may be contained in regulations that will be issued in the future by the Internal Revenue Service. Furthermore, subsequent legislative changes or changes in administrative or judicial interpretation could alter significantly the tax treatment discussed herein. No discussion of state income tax law has been included. Each employee should consult his or her own tax advisors with respect to the tax consequences of participation in the NEDSOP and disposition of shares acquired under the NEDSOP. 21 ERISA. The NEDSOP is not, and is not intended to be, an employee benefit plan or qualified retirement plan. The NEDSOP is not, therefore, subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, or Section 401(a) of the IRC. Recommendation of the Board of Directors The Board of Directors unanimously recommends that you vote "FOR" the proposal to amend the 1999 Non-Employee Directors' Stock Plan to increase by 3,000,000 shares the number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance thereunder. 22 PROPOSAL 6 RATIFICATION OF AMENDED 1999 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN AND AMENDMENT TO CHANGE THE AMENDED DEFINITION OF CHANGE IN CONTROL Introduction to the Amended 1999 Equity Incentive Plan The Internap Network Services Corporation Amended 1999 Equity Incentive Plan, or EIP, is intended to help us secure and retain the services of quality directors, employees and consultants and to provide incentives for those individuals to exert maximum efforts for our success. Currently, up to 23,095,275 shares have been authorized for issuance under the EIP. Our board of directors has approved, and recommends that stockholders approve, an amendment to the EIP such that the definition of "change in control" and related provisions conform to the corresponding definitions and provisions set forth in executive employment agreements dated as of December 31, 2002, between us and seven executives, including all of our executive officers. The EIP as originally adopted was approved by our stockholders at the time of its adoption, but has since been amended, and we have determined that stockholder approval of the EIP as amended is advisable at this time. Reasons for Ratification and Amendment to Definition of Change in Control We have determined that ratification of the EIP by our stockholders is advisable because such approval would be consistent with customary practice relative to stock compensation plans and would afford participants in those plans certain benefits that are consistent with our interests. Our board of directors believes that the EIP provides an attractive method for key employees to purchase our common stock and provides key employees with an important benefit. Our board of directors believes that stock options play an important role in providing eligible employees and qualifying third parties with an incentive and inducement to contribute fully and to further the growth and development of the company and its affiliates because it aligns those individuals' interests with the interests of our stockholders. On December 17, 2002, the Compensation Committee of our board of directors authorized our execution of employment agreements with seven named executives, including all of our executive officers. From April 2002, we have recruited a significant number of executive-level employees, including all but one of our executive officers. In the fall of 2002, the Compensation Committee of our board determined that it would be in our best interests to ensure that key members of our executive management team were provided with at-will employment agreements that provided, among other things, certain severance payments and benefits in the event of involuntary termination without cause and certain other severance payments and benefits in the event of involuntary termination without cause or constructive termination following specified events constituting a "change in control." The executive employment agreements are described in greater detail in the Executive Employment Agreement Subheading under the section of this proxy statement entitled Director and Executive Compensation. Because the term "change in control" is not consistently defined between the executive employment agreements and the EIP, if an event occurred that constituted a change in control under the executive employment agreements but did not constitute a change in control under the EIP, it would be unclear whether we could perform our obligations under the executive employment agreements without violating the terms and conditions of the EIP. The board of directors believes that the amendment is necessary to assure that the provisions of the executive employment agreements are valid and binding agreements and that we are able to perform our obligations and commitments under the executive employment agreements. The board of directors believes that it is important for the performance of our executive officers to have confidence in their employment agreements and that such agreements will not be determined to be unenforceable or preempted as a result of an unintended inconsistency with the EIP. Summary Description of the Amended 1999 Equity Incentive Plan and Proposed Amendment The following is a summary of the principal features of the EIP. However, the summary does not purport to be a complete description of all the provisions of the EIP. A copy of the full text of the EIP will be furnished to any stockholder without charge upon written request made to Walter G. DeSocio the Secretary of Internap. A copy of the proposed amendment to the EIP is contained in Appendix F attached to this proxy statement. 23 Stock Subject to Awards The stock currently subject to the awards under the EIP is our unissued or reacquired common stock, par value $.001 per share. Up to 6,500,000 shares of our common stock were initially authorized for issuance under the EIP, but each year the available shares are automatically increased by 3.5% of the total number of shares of our stock outstanding on the anniversary of the EIP's effective date, although each increase is not to exceed 6,500,000. At this time, the authorized shares under the EIP have been increased to a total of 23,095,205 shares. In the event that any award expires or otherwise terminates without having been exercised in full, the shares not acquired under the award will again become available for issuance under the EIP. The number of awards issued and the number of awards available for issuance under the EIP may be adjusted as described below in the event of a capital reorganization On April 25, 2003, the closing price of our common stock as reported on the NASDAQ SmallCap Market was $.45 per share. Types of Awards The EIP permits grants of incentive stock options under IRC Section 422, nonqualified stock options, stock bonuses, and rights to acquire restricted stock. Administration The EIP is administered by our board of directors, except when our board of directors has delegated its authority to a committee of board members. The board may decide to limit members of the committee to "outside directors" within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the IRC and "non-employee directors" for purposes of Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act. In this summary, we will refer to the administrative body of the EIP as the committee. Among other powers and duties, the committee interprets plan provisions; establishes rules for operation of the EIP; determines who will be granted awards from among the eligible individuals; and determines the type of award, the provisions of each award granted, and the number of shares underlying each award. Our board of directors has named our Compensation Committee, which consists exclusively of independent directors in compliance with the provisions of Section 162(m) of the IRC and Section 16 of the Exchange Act, as the committee authorized to administer the EIP. Eligibility for Awards The EIP provides for grants of incentive stock options to employees in consideration of their services as employees. In addition, in consideration of their services, our directors, employees and consultants are eligible for all other awards permitted under the EIP. Consultants include (i) any person engaged by us to render consulting or advisory services and who is compensated for those services, or (ii) any person who is a member of the board of directors of a parent or subsidiary of Internap Network Services Corporation, excluding any such board member who is not compensated by us for services or who is merely paid a director's fee for services. No employee is eligible to receive options for more than 3,000,000 shares of our stock during any calendar year. As of April 7, 2003, there were approximately 7 directors, 326 employees (excluding directors who are also employees) and 14 consultants eligible to receive grants under the EIP. Options Granted As of April 7, 2003, we have granted options under the EIP to the named executive officers in the following amounts: Eugene Eidenberg -- 1,200,000 options, Ali Marashi -- 1,992,256 options. As of April 7, 2003, the current executive officers, as a group, have been granted a total of 5,942,256 options under the EIP, and current directors who are not executive officers have been granted an aggregate of 8,000,000 options. Each nominee for election as a director has been granted options as follows: Gregory A. Peters -- 7,400,000 options, Robert D. Shurtleff -- no options. Gregory A. Peters received or is to receive 5% of the options. All other employees have been granted a total of 8,328,063 options. 24 Terms of Options Options granted under the EIP have terms and conditions as determined by the committee, subject to the limitations described below: Option Price. The exercise price of each incentive stock option granted under the EIP generally cannot be less than the fair market value of a share of the common stock on the date of grant. The exercise price of each nonqualified stock option generally cannot be less than 85% of the fair market value of a share of our common stock on the date of grant. Exercise prices may be lower for options we issue in replacement of another company's options that we assume as part of a corporate transaction. Vesting. Exercisability and vesting of options may be periodic and/or based on other terms and conditions such as performance, and is determined by the committee. In addition, options may be exercisable but not vested, and subject to repurchase (of shares that would not otherwise be exercisable) upon termination of employment. The repurchase price could either be fair market value at the time of repurchase or another price not less than the exercise price paid by the optionee. Term of Options. The term of any incentive stock option cannot be more than 10 years from the date of grant. Termination of Employment or Service. Upon a termination of employment or service with us for cause, all unexercised options terminate immediately. Following a termination of employment or service for any other reason, all unexercised options that were exercisable on the date employment or service terminated remain exercisable (not extending beyond expiration of the options' term) for: o three months, or such other period of time as may be provided in the option agreement, if the termination is for any reason other than death or disability; o 12 months, or such other period of time as may be provided in the option agreement, if the termination is due to disability; and o 18 months, or such other period of time as may be provided in the option agreement, if the termination is due to death or, if the option agreement so provides, if the optionee dies within a period specified in the option agreement after termination of employment or service other than due to death (with respect to options that were exercisable on the date of death). Unless otherwise specified in the option agreement, upon a change in control in which an option is assumed, continued or substituted as described below, then upon termination of employment or service without cause within 13 months following the effective date of the change in control, the option (or any substituted award) automatically vests and becomes fully exercisable, and remains exercisable until it expires in accordance with its terms. Limitations apply if any payment or benefit to an optionee would constitute a "parachute payment" under IRC section 280G. Exercise of Options. Payment of the exercise price is generally made in cash, or, if the committee decides (which decision must be made at the time of grant in the case of an incentive stock option), by surrender to us of shares of our common stock, by a deferred payment or similar arrangement, or any other form of legal consideration acceptable to the committee. Re-Load Options. The committee is permitted to include in an option agreement a provision that the optionee will receive a re-load option upon exercise of the underlying option and payment of the exercise price in shares of our stock. Under such provision, the optionee would receive a re-load option for a number of shares of stock equal to the number of shares surrendered upon exercise of the underlying option. The re-load option would have an expiration date the same as the underlying option, and would have an exercise price equal to the fair market value of a share on the date the optionee exercised the underlying option and received the re-load option. Re-load options are otherwise subject to the terms and limitations of the EIP. 25 Terms of Stock Bonuses Stock bonuses granted under the EIP have terms and conditions as determined by the committee, subject to the provisions described below: Grant. The committee may grant stock bonuses in consideration for past services actually rendered. Vesting. A stock bonus award may be subject to repurchase under the provisions of a vesting schedule. The repurchase price could either be fair market value at the time of repurchase or another price not less than any purchase price paid by the award recipient. Termination of Employment or Service. Upon a termination of employment or service with us for any reason, we may reacquire the unvested portion of a stock bonus award. Unless otherwise specified in the stock bonus agreement, upon a change in control in which a stock bonus award is assumed, continued or substituted as described below, then upon termination of employment or service without cause within 13 months following the effective date of the change in control, the award (or any substituted award) automatically vests and becomes fully exercisable, and remains exercisable until it expires in accordance with its terms. Terms of Restricted Stock Awards Restricted stock awards granted under the EIP have terms and conditions as determined by the committee, subject to the limitations described below: Purchase Price. The purchase price of restricted stock under the EIP cannot be less than 85% of the fair market value of our stock on the date the award is made or at the time the purchase is consummated. The purchase price is generally paid in cash at the time of purchase, or, if the committee decides, by a deferred payment or similar arrangement, or any other form of legal consideration acceptable to the committee. Vesting. Restricted stock may be subject to repurchase under the provisions of a vesting schedule. The repurchase price could either be fair market value at the time of repurchase or another price not less than the purchase price paid by the award recipient. Termination of Employment or Service. Upon a termination of employment or service with us for any reason, we may reacquire the unvested portion of a restricted stock award. Unless otherwise specified in the restricted stock agreement, upon a change in control in which a restricted stock award is assumed, continued or substituted as described below, then upon termination of employment or service without cause within 13 months following the effective date of the change in control, the award (or any substituted award) automatically vests and becomes fully exercisable, and remains exercisable until it expires in accordance with its terms. Fair Market Value Fair market value is generally the closing sale price of our common stock (or the closing bid, if no sales were reported) quoted for the relevant date on the NASDAQ SmallCap Market, as published in The Wall Street Journal. Acceleration of Vesting and Change in Control The committee has the power at any time to accelerate the time at which an award may be exercised, or the vesting of an award. In the event we experience a change in control, any surviving corporation or acquiring corporation may assume or continue outstanding awards or may substitute similar awards for those outstanding under the EIP. If the surviving corporation or acquiring corporation does not either assume or continue outstanding awards or substitute similar awards for those outstanding under the EIP, awards held by active directors, employees and consultants will automatically become fully vested and exercisable, and all awards (including those held by terminated directors, employees and consultants) will terminate on the date of change in control if not exercised before then. In the event any person, entity or group within the meaning of Section 13(d) or 14(d) of the Exchange Act (excluding any employee benefit plan or related trust we or our parent or subsidiary maintains) acquires beneficial ownership within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act of securities representing at least 26 50% of the combined voting power entitled to vote on election of our directors, then all awards held by active directors, employees and consultants will automatically become fully vested and exercisable and remain exercisable until they expire in accordance with their terms. Limitations apply if any payment or benefit to an optionee would constitute a "parachute payment" under IRC section 280G. Current Change in Control Definition. Under current provisions, "change in control" (or "corporate transaction") is defined as a sale, lease or other disposition of all or substantially all of our assets, a merger or consolidation in which we are not the surviving corporation, or a reverse merger in which we are the surviving corporation but in which our shares are converted into other property. Proposed Amendment. Under the proposed amendment, "change in control" would be defined as: The acquisition by any individual, entity or group within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act of beneficial ownership within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act, of 30% or more of either our then outstanding shares of common stock or the combined voting power entitled to vote on election of our directors, but excluding: o acquisition directly from us other than by virtue of the exercise of a conversion privilege unless the converted security was acquired from us, o any acquisition by us, o any acquisition by an employee benefit plan or related trust sponsored or maintained by us or any company we control, o any acquisition by a corporation in a transaction in which all or substantially all of the beneficial owners of our common stock before the transaction beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than 60% of the outstanding shares of common stock of the resulting corporation (in this definition, the resulting corporation includes any parent owning our assets through its subsidiaries following a transaction), in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of our common stock before the transaction, o any acquisition by a corporation in a transaction in which all or substantially all of the beneficial owners of the combined voting power entitled to vote on election of our directors before the transaction beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than 60% of the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors of the resulting corporation, in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of such voting stock before the transaction, o any acquisition by a corporation in a transaction in which no entity (other than us, our employee benefit plan or related trust, or the resulting corporation in the transaction) will beneficially own, directly or indirectly, 50% or more of the outstanding shares of common stock of the resulting corporation or 50% or more of the combined voting power of the outstanding securities of the resulting corporation entitled to vote in the election of directors, unless such ownership resulted solely from ownership of our securities before the transaction, and o any acquisition by a corporation in a transaction in which members of the incumbent board (as described below) will immediately after consummation of the transaction constitute at least a majority of the board of the resulting corporation. A change in the composition of our board of directors such that individuals who constitute the board as of December 31, 2002, excluding members elected pursuant to the terms of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, which we refer to as the incumbent board, cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of our board (excluding the Series A directors); however, any director whose election or nomination was approved by a vote of at least a majority of the incumbent board will be considered to be included as a member of the incumbent board, and any individual whose initial assumption of office as a director occurs as a result of or in connection with either an actual or threatened election contest as defined in Rule 14a-11 under the Exchange Act, or other actual or threatened 27 solicitation of proxies or consents on behalf of an entity other than our board of directors, will not be considered a member of the incumbent board. Our stockholders' approval of a merger, reorganization, consolidation or sale or other disposition of all or substantially all our assets, or if any such transaction is subject to governmental consent, the obtaining of such consent, excluding the following: o a transaction in which all or substantially all of the beneficial owners of our common stock before the transaction beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than 60% of the outstanding shares of common stock of the resulting corporation (in this definition, the resulting corporation includes any parent owning our assets through its subsidiaries following a transaction), in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of our common stock before the transaction, o a transaction in which all or substantially all of the beneficial owners of the combined voting power entitled to vote on election of our directors before the transaction beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than 60% of the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors of the resulting corporation, in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of such voting stock before the transaction, o a transaction in which no entity (other than us, our employee benefit plan or related trust, or the resulting corporation in the transaction) will beneficially own, directly or indirectly, 50% or more of the outstanding shares of common stock of the resulting corporation or 50% or more of the combined voting power of the outstanding securities of the resulting corporation entitled to vote in the election of directors, unless such ownership resulted solely from ownership of our securities before the transaction, and o a transaction in which individuals who were members of the incumbent board will immediately after consummation of the transaction constitute at least a majority of the board of the resulting corporation. The approval by our stockholders of our complete dissolution or liquidation. The amendment also confirms that an award may specify that upon a Change in Control, vesting under such award may be accelerated and the time for exercise may be extended and that the Board may add such rights to previously granted awards by amendment. The amendment will become effective upon the date of stockholder approval. Amendment and Termination The committee may amend the EIP and the terms of any outstanding awards at any time. However, if necessary to satisfy the requirements of IRC Section 422, Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act or any NASDAQ or other securities exchange listing requirements, shareholder approval of any plan amendment is required. The committee may also decide to submit other EIP amendments to stockholders for approval. No amendment will impair the rights under awards already granted unless the award recipient consents in writing. The committee may terminate the EIP at any time, and the EIP will automatically terminate ten years after original approval. Adjustments In the event of changes in our common stock without our receiving consideration, through merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization, reincorporation, stock dividend, dividend in property other than cash, stock split, liquidating dividend, combination of shares, exchange of shares, change in corporate structure or other transaction, the committee will make an appropriate adjustment to the classes and number of shares subject to the EIP, to the maximum number of shares permitted to be awarded to any person, and to the class of shares, number of securities and price per share of outstanding awards. Dissolution or Liquidation If we are dissolved or liquidated, all outstanding awards under the EIP automatically terminate immediately before the dissolution or liquidation. 28 Transferability Incentive stock options are not transferable except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. Nonqualified stock options are transferable to the extent provided in the governing option agreement, or if the option agreement does not provide for transferability, nonqualified stock options are not transferable except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. Rights to acquire shares of our stock under a stock bonus agreement are transferable as set forth in the stock bonus agreement (which is subject to the committee's discretion). Rights to acquire shares of our stock under a restricted stock agreement are transferable as set forth in the restricted stock agreement (which is subject to the committee's discretion). Federal Income Tax Consequences The following is a brief general description of the consequences under the Internal Revenue Code, or IRC, of the receipt or exercise of options under the EIP: Incentive Stock Options. An option holder has no tax consequences upon issuance or, generally, upon exercise of an incentive stock option. An option holder will recognize income when he or she sells or exchanges the shares acquired upon exercise of an incentive stock option. This income will be taxed at the applicable capital gains rate if the sale or exchange occurs after the expiration of the requisite holding periods. Generally, the requisite holding periods expire two years after the date of grant of the incentive stock option and one year after the date of acquisition of our common stock pursuant to the exercise of the incentive stock option. If an option holder disposes of the common stock acquired pursuant to exercise of an incentive stock option before the expiration of the requisite holding periods, the option holder will recognize compensation income in an amount equal to the difference between the option price and the lesser of (i) the fair market value of the shares on the date of exercise and (ii) the price at which the shares are sold. This amount will be taxed at ordinary income rates. If the sale price of the shares is greater than the fair market value on the date of exercise, the difference will be recognized as gain by the option holder and taxed at the applicable capital gains rate. If the sale price of the shares is less than the option price, the option holder will recognize a capital loss equal to the excess of the option price over the sale price. For these purposes, the use of shares acquired upon exercise of an incentive stock option to pay the option price of another option (whether or not it is an incentive stock option) will be considered a disposition of the shares. An option holder may have tax consequences upon exercise of an incentive stock option if the aggregate fair market value of shares of the common stock subject to incentive stock options which first become exercisable by an option holder in any one calendar year exceeds $100,000. If this occurs, the excess shares will be treated as though they are subject to a nonqualified stock option instead of an incentive stock option. Upon exercise of an option with respect to these shares, the option holder will have the tax consequences described below with respect to the exercise of nonqualified stock options. Finally, except to the extent that an option holder has recognized income with respect to the exercise of an incentive stock option, as described in the preceding paragraphs, the amount by which the fair market value of a share of our common stock at the time of exercise of the incentive stock option exceeds the option price will be included in determining an option holder's alternative minimum taxable income, and may cause the option holder to incur an alternative minimum tax liability in the year of exercise. There will be no tax consequences to us upon issuance or, generally, upon exercise of an incentive stock option. However, to the extent that an option holder recognizes ordinary income upon exercise, as described above, we generally will have a deduction in the same amount. Nonqualified Stock Options. Neither we nor the option holder has income tax consequences from the issuance of nonqualified stock options. Generally, in the tax year when an option holder exercises nonqualified stock options, the option holder recognizes ordinary income in the amount by which the fair market value of the shares at the time of exercise exceeds the option price for such shares. We generally will have a deduction in the same amount as the ordinary income recognized by the option holder in our tax year in which or with which the option holder's tax year (of exercise) ends. 29 If an option holder exercises a nonqualified stock option by paying the option price with previously acquired shares of our common stock, additional rules apply. Limitation on Company Deductions. No federal income tax deduction is allowed for compensation paid to a "covered employee" in any of our taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 1994, to the extent that such compensation exceeds $1,000,000. For this purpose, "covered employees" are generally defined as our chief executive officer and our four highest compensated officers whose annual salary and bonus exceeds $100,000, and the term "compensation" generally includes amounts includable in gross income as a result of the exercise of stock options, or the receipt of stock options. This deduction limitation does not apply to compensation that is (1) commission-based compensation, (2) performance-based compensation, (3) compensation which would not be includable in an employee's gross income, and (4) compensation payable under a written binding contract in existence on February 17, 1993, and not materially modified thereafter. Compensation attributable to a stock option will generally satisfy the limitation exception for performance-based compensation if: o the grant or award is made by a "compensation committee" (a committee composed of "outside" directors); o the "material terms" (including which employees are eligible to receive compensation, the maximum number of shares that may be granted to an optionee and the exercise price of the options) of the plan under which the option or right is granted are disclosed to stockholders and approved by a majority of the stockholder vote; o the "compensation committee" certifies that performance goals were in fact satisfied before the compensation is paid; and o under the terms of the option or right, the amount of compensation the employee could receive is based solely on an increase in the value of the stock after the date of the grant or award. Stock options granted under the EIP may satisfy these requirements, depending upon the specific terms, provisions, restrictions and limitations of such options. The foregoing discussion is not a complete discussion of all federal income tax aspects of the EIP. Some of the provisions contained in the IRC have only been summarized, and additional qualifications and refinements may be contained in regulations which will be issued in the future by the Internal Revenue Service. Furthermore, subsequent legislative changes or changes in administrative or judicial interpretation could alter significantly the tax treatment discussed herein. No discussion of state income tax law has been included. Each employee should consult his or her own tax advisors with respect to the tax consequences of participation in the EIP and disposition of shares acquired under the EIP. ERISA. The EIP is not, and is not intended to be, an employee benefit plan or qualified retirement plan. The EIP is not, therefore, subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, or Section 401(a) of the IRC. Recommendation of the Board of Directors The Board of Directors unanimously recommends that you vote "FOR" the ratification of the 1999 Equity Incentive Plan and approval of the amendment to the 1999 Equity Incentive Plan to change the definition of change in control. 30 PROPOSAL 7 RATIFICATION OF AMENDED AND RESTATED 1999 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN FOR NON-OFFICERS AND AMENDMENT TO CHANGE THE DEFINITION OF CHANGE IN CONTROL Introduction to the 1999 Stock Incentive Plan for Non-Officers The Amended and Restated Internap Network Services Corporation 1999 Stock Incentive Plan for Non-Officers (formerly known as the CO SPACE Stock Incentive Plan), or SIP, is intended to help us secure and retain the services of quality non-officer employees, consultants and advisors, and to provide additional incentives for those individuals to increase their efforts on our behalf. Up to 1,346,840 shares have been authorized for issuance under the SIP, which we assumed in connection with the merger agreement dated May 26, 2000, between us and CO SPACE, Inc. Our board of directors has approved, and recommends that stockholders approve, an amendment to the SIP such that the definition of "change in control" and related provisions conform to the corresponding definitions and provisions set forth in executive employment agreements dated as of December 31, 2002, between us and seven executives, including all of our executive officers. Reasons for Ratification and Amendment to Definition of Change in Control We have determined that ratification of the SIP by our stockholders is advisable because such approval would be consistent with customary practice relative to stock compensation plans and would afford participants in those plans certain benefits that are consistent with our interests. Our board of directors believes that the SIP provides an attractive method for key employees to purchase our common stock and provides key employees with an important benefit. Our board of directors believes that stock options play an important role in providing eligible employees and qualifying third parties with an incentive and inducement to contribute fully and to further the growth and development of the company and its affiliates because it aligns those individuals' interests with the interests of our stockholders. On December 17, 2002, the Compensation Committee of our board of directors authorized our execution of employment agreements with seven named executives, including all of our executive officers. From April 2002, we have recruited a significant number of executive-level employees, including all but one of our executive officers. In the fall of 2002, the Compensation Committee of our board determined that it would be in our best interests to ensure that key members of our executive management team were provided with at-will employment agreements that provided, among other things, certain severance payments and benefits in the event of involuntary termination without cause and certain other severance payments and benefits in the event of involuntary termination without cause or constructive termination following specified events constituting a "change in control." The executive employment agreements are described in greater detail in the "Executive Employment Agreements" section of this proxy statement. Although the SIP is designed for the benefit of non-officers, one or more of our executive officers currently holds shares issued under the SIP. Therefore, because the term "change in control" is not consistently defined between the executive employment agreements and the SIP, if an event occurred that constituted a change in control under the executive employment agreements but did not constitute a change in control under the SIP, it would be unclear whether we could perform our obligations under the executive employment agreements without violating the terms and conditions of the SIP. The board of directors believes that the amendment is necessary to assure that the provisions of the executive employment agreements are valid and binding agreements and that we are able to perform our obligations and commitments under the executive employment agreements. The board of directors believes that it is important for the performance of our executive officers to have confidence in their employment agreements and that such agreements will not be determined to be unenforceable or preempted as a result of an unintended inconsistency with the SIP. Summary Description of the 1999 Stock Incentive Plan for Non-Officers and Proposed Amendment The following is a summary of the principal features of the SIP. However, the summary does not purport to be a complete description of all the provisions of the SIP. A copy of the full text of the SIP will be furnished to 31 any stockholder without charge upon written request made to Walter G. DeSocio the Secretary of Internap. A copy of the proposed amendment to the SIP is contained in Appendix G attached to this proxy statement. Stock Subject to Awards The stock currently subject to the awards under the SIP is our common stock, par value $0.001 per share. Up to 1,346,840 shares of our common stock are authorized for issuance under the SIP. The number of awards issued and the number of awards available for issuance under the SIP may be adjusted as described below in the event of a capital reorganization. On April 25, 2003, the closing price of our common stock as reported on the NASDAQ SmallCap Market was $.45 per share. Types of Awards The SIP permits grants of nonqualified stock options, which are options that do not qualify as incentive stock options under IRC Section 422, and therefore are taxed under IRC Section 83. The SIP also permits grants of awards of our stock in the form of bonus shares, deferred stock awards and performance share awards. In addition, the SIP permits grants of rights to make direct purchases of restricted stock. Administration The SIP is administered by our board of directors, except when our board of directors has delegated its authority to a committee of two or more board members. The board may also delegate administrative authority under the SIP to one of our officers who is also a board member. In this summary, we will refer to the administrative body of the SIP as the committee. Among other powers and duties, the committee interprets plan provisions; establishes rules for operation of the SIP; determines who will be granted awards from among the eligible individuals; and determines the type of award, the provisions of each award granted, and the number of shares underlying each award. Our board of directors has named our Compensation Committee as the committee authorized to administer the SIP. Eligibility for Awards In consideration of their services, our employees, consultants and advisors (and those of our parents or subsidiaries) are eligible for all awards permitted under the SIP. However, no person is eligible who holds a position of vice president or higher, who would be considered an officer or director under Rule 4460(i)(1)(A) of the National Association of Securities Dealers Manual, who would be subject to Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, or whose eligibility would require stockholder approval of the SIP under any law or regulation or rules of any stock exchange or market system on which our stock is listed. If not inconsistent with any law or regulation or rules of any stock exchange or market system on which our stock is listed, awards under the SIP may also be granted as an inducement to enter an employment contract with us or our parent or subsidiaries. As of April 7, 2003, there were approximately 322 employees, 14 consultants and no advisors eligible to receive grants under the SIP. Options Granted As of April 7, 2003, we have granted options under the SIP to the named executive officers in the following amounts: Ali Marashi - 50,000 options. As of April 7, 2003, the current executive officers, as a group, have been granted a total of 50,000 options under the SIP, and current directors who are not executive officers have been granted no options. Neither nominee for election as a director has been granted options under the SIP. All other employees have been granted a total of 2,003,343 options. 32 Terms of Options Options granted under the SIP have terms and conditions as determined by the committee, subject to the following: Option Price. The exercise price of an option is determined by the committee. Vesting. Unless otherwise specified by the committee, options become exercisable as to 25% of the shares on the first anniversary of the date of grant, and the remaining 75% vest in 36 equal monthly installments commencing one month after the first anniversary of grant. The committee may also specify any other conditions to the exercise of an option. The committee has the right to accelerate the exercisability of any option at any time. Term of Options. The term of any option cannot be more than 10 years from the date of grant. Termination of Employment or Service. Upon a termination of employment or service with us for cause, all unexercised options terminate immediately. Following a termination of employment or service for any other reason, all unexercised options that were exercisable on the date employment or service terminated remain exercisable (not extending beyond expiration of the options' term) for: o three months, if the termination is for any reason other than death or disability; o one year, if the termination is due to disability; and o 180 days, if the termination is due to death or if the optionee dies within 30 days after termination of employment other than due to death (with respect to options that were exercisable on the date of death). Unless otherwise specified in the option agreement, upon termination of service following a change in control in which an option is assumed, continued or substituted as described below, then upon termination of employment or service without cause within 13 months following the effective date of the change of control, the option (or any substituted award) automatically vests and becomes fully exercisable, and remains exercisable until it expires in accordance with its terms. Limitations apply if any payment or benefit to an optionee would constitute a "parachute payment" under IRC section 280G. Exercise of Options. Payment of the exercise price is generally made in cash, or, if the committee decides, by cashless exercise, by surrender to us of shares of our common stock that have been held for at least six months, by delivery of a promissory note, or a combination of any of the foregoing. Terms of Awards of Stock and Restricted Stock Rights Stock awards and rights to purchase restricted stock granted under the SIP have terms and conditions as determined by the committee. The committee may establish rules in a stock rights agreement with respect to misconduct committed by a grantee. The committee may also apply transfer restrictions, rights of first refusal, vesting provisions, and repurchase rights, and other restrictions applicable to shares issued in respect of an award as the committee decides. The committee determines the purchase price applicable to any rights to acquire restricted stock. Unless otherwise specified in the agreement governing an award, upon a change in control in which an award is assumed, continued or substituted as described below, then upon termination of employment or service without cause within 13 months following the effective date of the change of control, the award (or any substituted award) automatically vests and becomes fully exercisable, and remains exercisable until it expires in accordance with its terms. Fair Market Value Fair market value is the closing bid price last quoted for the relevant date by the applicable national securities exchange or quotation service. 33 Acceleration of Vesting and Change of Control In the event we experience a change of control (or corporate transaction), any surviving corporation or acquiring corporation may assume or continue outstanding awards or may substitute similar awards for those outstanding under the SIP. If the surviving corporation or acquiring corporation does not either assume or continue outstanding awards or substitute similar awards for those outstanding under the SIP, awards held by active directors, employees and consultants will automatically become fully vested and exercisable, and all awards (including those held by terminated directors, employees and consultants) will terminate on the date of change of control if not exercised before then. In the event any person, entity or group within the meaning of Section 13(d) or 14(d) of the Exchange Act (excluding any employee benefit plan or related trust we or our parent or subsidiary maintains) acquires beneficial ownership within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act of securities representing at least 50% of the combined voting power entitled to vote on election of our directors, then all awards held by active directors, employees and consultants will automatically become fully vested and exercisable and remain exercisable until they expire in accordance with their terms. Limitations apply if any payment or benefit to an optionee would constitute a "parachute payment" under IRC section 280G. The foregoing provisions will not apply if an agreement governing an award specifies otherwise. Current Change in Control/Corporate Transaction Definition. Under current provisions, "change in control" (or "corporate transaction") is defined as a sale, lease or other disposition of all or substantially all of our assets, a merger or consolidation in which we are not the surviving corporation, or a reverse merger in which we are the surviving corporation but in which our shares are converted into other property. Proposed Amendment. Under the proposed amendment, "change in control" and "corporate transaction" would be defined the same. Change in control and corporate transaction would be defined as: The acquisition by any individual, entity or group within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act of beneficial ownership within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act, of 30% or more of either our then outstanding shares of common stock or the combined voting power entitled to vote on election of our directors, but excluding: o acquisition directly from us other than by virtue of the exercise of a conversion privilege unless the converted security was acquired from us, o any acquisition by us, o any acquisition by an employee benefit plan or related trust sponsored or maintained by us or any company we control, o any acquisition by a corporation in a transaction in which all or substantially all of the beneficial owners of our common stock before the transaction beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than 60% of the outstanding shares of common stock of the resulting corporation (in this definition, the resulting corporation includes any parent owning our assets through its subsidiaries following a transaction), in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of our common stock before the transaction, o any acquisition by a corporation in a transaction in which all or substantially all of the beneficial owners of the combined voting power entitled to vote on election of our directors before the transaction beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than 60% of the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors of the resulting corporation, in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of such voting stock before the transaction, o any acquisition by a corporation in a transaction in which no entity (other than us, our employee benefit plan or related trust, or the resulting corporation in the transaction) will beneficially own, directly or indirectly, 50% or more of the outstanding shares of common stock of the resulting corporation or 50% or more of the combined voting power of the outstanding securities of the resulting corporation entitled to vote in the election of directors, 34 unless such ownership resulted solely from ownership of our securities before the transaction, and o any acquisition by a corporation in a transaction in which members of the incumbent board (as described below) will immediately after consummation of the transaction constitute at least a majority of the board of the resulting corporation. A change in the composition of our board of directors such that individuals who constitute the board as of December 31, 2002, excluding members elected pursuant to the terms of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, which we refer to as the incumbent board, cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of our board (excluding the Series A directors); however, any director whose election or nomination was approved by a vote of at least a majority of the incumbent board will be considered to be included as a member of the incumbent board, and any individual whose initial assumption of office as a director occurs as a result of or in connection with either an actual or threatened election contest as defined in Rule 14a-11 under the Exchange Act, or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents on behalf of an entity other than our board of directors, will not be considered a member of the incumbent board. The approval by our stockholders of our complete dissolution or liquidation. Our stockholders' approval of a merger, reorganization, consolidation or sale or other disposition of all or substantially all our assets, or if any such transaction is subject to governmental consent, the obtaining of such consent, excluding the following: o a transaction in which all or substantially all of the beneficial owners of our common stock before the transaction beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than 60% of the outstanding shares of common stock of the resulting corporation, in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of our common stock before the transaction, o a transaction in which all or substantially all of the beneficial owners of the combined voting power entitled to vote on election of our directors before the transaction beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than 60% of the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors of the resulting corporation, in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of such voting stock before the transaction, o a transaction in which no entity (other than us, our employee benefit plan or related trust, or the resulting corporation in the transaction) will beneficially own, directly or indirectly, 50% or more of the outstanding shares of common stock of the resulting corporation or 50% or more of the combined voting power of the outstanding securities of the resulting corporation entitled to vote in the election of directors, unless such ownership resulted solely from ownership of our securities before the transaction, and o a transaction in which individuals who were members of the incumbent board will immediately after consummation of the transaction constitute at least a majority of the board of the resulting corporation. The amendment also confirms that an award may specify that upon a Change in Control, vesting under such award may be accelerated and the time for exercise may be extended and that the Board may add such rights to previously granted awards by amendment. The amendment will become effective upon the date of stockholder approval. Amendment and Termination Our board of directors may amend or terminate the SIP at any time, and the SIP automatically expires on June 28, 2009. However, awards already granted will not be affected by termination of the plan. The committee may amend, modify or terminate any outstanding awards under the SIP, but the grantee's consent is required unless the committee determines that the action would not materially and adversely affect the grantee. Adjustments In the event of changes in our common stock without our receiving consideration, through merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization, reincorporation, stock dividend, dividend in property other than cash, stock split, liquidating dividend, combination of shares, exchange of shares, change in corporate structure or other transaction, the committee will make an appropriate adjustment to the classes and number of shares subject to the 35 SIP, and to the class of shares, number of securities and price per share of outstanding awards (except as otherwise provided in the agreement governing an award). Dissolution or Liquidation If we are dissolved or liquidated, all outstanding awards under the SIP automatically terminate immediately before the dissolution or liquidation, except as otherwise provided in an agreement governing an award. Transferability Options may be transferred to the extent provided in the option agreement for estate planning purposes. Otherwise, no awards are assignable or transferable except by will or the laws of descent and distribution. Any attempt to transfer an award in a way not permitted under the SIP renders the award null and void. Federal Income Tax Consequences The following is a brief general description of the consequences under the Internal Revenue Code, or IRC, of the receipt or exercise of options under the SIP: Incentive Stock Options. The SIP does not provide for the grant of incentive stock options. Nonqualified Stock Options. Neither we nor the option holder has income tax consequences from the issuance of nonqualified stock options. Generally, in the tax year when an option holder exercises nonqualified stock options, the option holder recognizes ordinary income in the amount by which the fair market value of the shares at the time of exercise exceeds the option price for such shares. We generally will have a deduction in the same amount as the ordinary income recognized by the option holder in our tax year in which or with which the option holder's tax year (of exercise) ends. If an option holder exercises a nonqualified stock option by paying the option price with previously acquired shares of our common stock, additional rules apply. Limitation on Company Deductions. No federal income tax deduction is allowed for compensation paid to a "covered employee" in any of our taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 1994, to the extent that such compensation exceeds $1,000,000. For this purpose, "covered employees" are generally defined as our chief executive officer and our four highest compensated officers whose annual salary and bonus exceeds $100,000, and the term "compensation" generally includes amounts includable in gross income as a result of the exercise of stock options, or the receipt of stock options. This deduction limitation does not apply to compensation that is (1) commission-based compensation, (2) performance-based compensation, (3) compensation which would not be includable in an employee's gross income, and (4) compensation payable under a written binding contract in existence on February 17, 1993, and not materially modified thereafter. Compensation attributable to a stock option will generally satisfy the limitation exception for performance-based compensation if: o the grant or award is made by a "compensation committee" (a committee composed of "outside" directors); o the "material terms" (including which employees are eligible to receive compensation, the maximum number of shares that may be granted to an optionee and the exercise price of the options) of the plan under which the option or right is granted are disclosed to stockholders and approved by a majority of the stockholder vote; o the "compensation committee" certifies that performance goals were in fact satisfied before the compensation is paid; and o under the terms of the option or right, the amount of compensation the employee could receive is based solely on an increase in the value of the stock after the date of the grant or award. Awards granted under the SIP are not designed to satisfy these requirements. 36 The foregoing discussion is not a complete discussion of all federal income tax aspects of the SIP. Some of the provisions contained in the IRC have only been summarized, and additional qualifications and refinements may be contained in regulations that will be issued in the future by the Internal Revenue Service. Furthermore, subsequent legislative changes or changes in administrative or judicial interpretation could alter significantly the tax treatment discussed herein. No discussion of state income tax law has been included. Each employee should consult his or her own tax advisors with respect to the tax consequences of participation in the SIP and disposition of shares acquired under the SIP. ERISA. The SIP is not, and is not intended to be, an employee benefit plan or qualified retirement plan. The SIP is not, therefore, subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, or Section 401(a) of the IRC. Recommendation of the Board of Directors The Board of Directors unanimously recommends that you vote "FOR" the ratification of the Amended and Restated 1999 Stock Incentive Plan for Non-Officers and the approval of the amendment to the Amended and Restated 1999 Stock Incentive Plan for Non-Officers to change the definition of change in control. 37 PROPOSAL 8 RATIFICATION OF THE AMENDED AND RESTATED 1998 STOCK OPTION/STOCK ISSUANCE PLAN AND AMENDMENT TO CHANGE THE DEFINITION OF CHANGE IN CONTROL Introduction to the Amended and Restated 1998 Stock Option/Stock Issuance Plan The Internap Network Services Corporation Amended and Restated 1998 Stock Option/Stock Issuance Plan, or 1998 Plan, is intended to provide eligible individuals who are responsible for our management, growth and financial success or who otherwise render valuable services to us with the opportunity to acquire (or increase) a proprietary interest in the company, and thereby encourage them to remain in our service. Currently, up to 4,035,000 shares have been authorized for issuance under the 1998 Plan. Our board of directors has approved, and recommends that stockholders approve, an amendment to the 1998 Plan such that the definition of "change in control" and related provisions conform to the corresponding definitions and provisions set forth in executive employment agreements dated as of December 31, 2002, between us and seven executives, including all of our executive officers. Reasons for Ratification and Amendment to Definition of Change in Control We have determined that ratification of the 1998 Plan as amended by our stockholders is advisable because such approval would be consistent with customary practice relative to stock compensation plans and would afford participants in those plans certain benefits that are consistent with our interests. Our board of directors believes that the 1998 Plan provides an attractive method for key employees to purchase our common stock and provides key employees with an important benefit. Our board of directors believes that stock options play an important role in providing eligible employees and qualifying third parties with an incentive and inducement to contribute fully and to further the growth and development of the company and its affiliates because it aligns those individuals' interests with the interests of our stockholders. On December 17, 2002, the Compensation Committee of our board of directors authorized our execution of employment agreements with seven named executives, including all of our executive officers. From April 2002, we have recruited a significant number of executive-level employees, including all but one of our executive officers. In the fall of 2002, the Compensation Committee of our board determined that it would be in our best interests to ensure that key members of our executive management team were provided with at-will employment agreements that provided, among other things, certain severance payments and benefits in the event of involuntary termination without cause and certain other severance payments and benefits in the event of involuntary termination without cause or constructive termination following specified events constituting a "change in control." The executive employment agreements are described in greater detail in the "Executive Employment Agreements" section of this proxy statement. Because the term "change in control" is not consistently defined between the executive employment agreements and the 1998 Plan, if an event occurred that constituted a change in control under the executive employment agreements but did not constitute a change in control under the 1998 Plan, it would be unclear whether we could perform our obligations under the executive employment agreements without violating the terms and conditions of the 1998 Plan. The board of directors believes that the amendment is necessary to assure that the provisions of the executive employment agreements are valid and binding agreements and that we are able to perform our obligations and commitments under the executive employment agreements. The board of directors believes that it is important for the performance of our executive officers to have confidence in their employment agreements and that such agreements will not be determined to be unenforceable or preempted as a result of an unintended inconsistency with the 1998 Plan. Summary Description of the Amended and Restated 1998 Stock Option/Stock Issuance Plan and Proposed Amendment The following is a summary of the principal features of the 1998 Plan. However, the summary does not purport to be a complete description of all the provisions of the 1998 Plan. A copy of the full text of the 1998 Plan will be furnished to any stockholder without charge upon written request made to Walter G. DeSocio the Secretary 38 of Internap. A copy of the proposed amendment to the 1998 Plan is contained in Appendix H attached to this proxy statement. Stock Subject to Awards The stock currently subject to the awards under the 1998 Plan is our unissued or reacquired common stock, par value $.001 per share. Up to 4,035,000 shares of our common stock have been authorized for issuance under the 1998 Plan. In the event that any options are not exercised or are surrendered prior to expiration or termination, or any options are canceled in accordance with provisions described below, the shares not acquired under the award will again become available for issuance under the 1998 Plan. The number of awards issued and the number of awards available for issuance under the 1998 Plan may be adjusted as described below in the event of a capital reorganization. On April 25, 2003, the closing price of our common stock as reported on the NASDAQ SmallCap Market was $.45 per share. Types of Awards The 1998 Plan permits grants of incentive stock options under IRC Section 422, nonqualified stock options and stock issuances. Administration The 1998 Plan is administered by our board of directors, except when our board of directors has delegated its authority to a committee of board members. The board may decide to limit members of the committee to "outside directors" within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the IRC and "non-employee directors" for purposes of Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act. In this summary, we will refer to the administrative body of the 1998 Plan as the committee. Among other powers and duties, the committee interprets plan provisions; establishes rules for operation of the 1998 Plan; and determines who among the eligible individuals will receive awards under the 1998 Plan, the number of shares covered by an award, the exercisability and vesting provisions of an award, and the term of an award. Our board of directors has named our Compensation Committee, which consists exclusively of independent directors in compliance with the provisions of Section 162(m) of the IRC and Section 16 of the Exchange Act, as the committee authorized to administer the 1998 Plan. Eligibility for Awards In consideration of their services, the 1998 Plan provides for grants of options and share issuances to the following: (i) key employees of the company or its parent or subsidiary corporations who render services that contribute to our success and growth, or that reasonably may be anticipated to contribute to our future success and growth; (ii) the non-employee members of our board of directors or a board of directors of our parent or subsidiary corporations; (iii) consultants and independent contractors who provide valuable services to the company or its parent or subsidiary corporations. No employee is eligible to receive options for more than 2,000,000 shares of our stock during any calendar year. As of April 7, 2003, there were approximately 6 non-employee directors, 327 employees and 14 consultants and independent contractors eligible to receive grants under the 1998 Plan. Options Granted As of April 7, 2003, we have granted options under the 1998 Plan to the named executive officers in the following amounts: Eugene Eidenberg -- 400,000 options. As of April 7, 2003, the current executive officers, as a group, have been granted a total of 400,000 options under the 1998 Plan, and current directors who are not executive officers have been granted an aggregate of 400,000 options. Neither nominee for election as a director has been granted options. All other employees have been granted a total of 12,295,052 options. 39 Terms of Options Options granted under the 1998 Plan have terms and conditions as determined by the committee, subject to the provisions described below: Option Price. The exercise price of options is determined by the committee, but the exercise price of each incentive stock option granted under the 1998 Plan cannot be less than the fair market value of a share of our common stock on the date of grant. Vesting. Exercisability and vesting of options is determined by the committee. Vesting and exercisability may be accelerated as described below. Termination of Employment or Service. Upon termination of employment or service with us for cause, all options terminate immediately. Upon a termination of employment or service with us for any other reason, all unexercised options that were exercisable on the date employment or service terminated remain exercisable (not extending beyond expiration of the options' term) for the period of time provided in the option agreement, not to exceed 12 months. Any option that is exercisable on the date of death of the optionee may be exercised within one year of the optionee's death, but not beyond expiration of the option's term. The committee has discretion under the 1998 Plan to permit outstanding options to be exercised, following termination of employment during the period during which an optionee's options remain exercisable, for which the option would have become exercisable during such period had termination of employment or service not occurred. The committee also has discretion to extend the period of exercisability of options following termination of employment or service, but not beyond the expiration of the options' term. Unless otherwise specified in the option agreement, following a change in control in which an option is assumed, continued or substituted as described below, then upon termination of employment or service without cause within 13 months following the effective date of the change in control, the option (or any substituted award) automatically vests and becomes fully exercisable, and remains exercisable until it expires in accordance with its terms. Limitations apply if any payment or benefit to an optionee would constitute a "parachute payment" under IRC section 280G. Term of Options. The term of any option cannot be more than ten years from the date of grant. Exercise of Options. Payment of the exercise price can be made in cash, check, by surrender of shares of our stock held for a minimum period, or by cashless exercise. The committee may permit payment through a company loan or in installments, and loans may be subject to forgiveness in the discretion of the committee. Re-Grant Options. The committee is permitted at any time, with the consent of affected optionees, to cancel outstanding options and grant new options in substitution for the canceled options. In the case of incentive stock options, the substitute options will have an exercise price at least 100% of the fair market value of our common stock on the new grant date. Terms of Stock Issuances Stock issuances granted under the 1998 Plan have terms and conditions as determined by the committee, subject to the provisions described below: Grant and Consideration. The committee may grant direct issuances of our stock under the 1998 Plan, for such consideration as the committee determines from time to time. The consideration received by us for stock issuances may be less than 100% of the fair market value of the issued shares. The form of consideration acceptable under the 1998 Plan is cash, check, promissory note, or services rendered. The committee may permit payment through a company loan or in installments, and loans may be subject to forgiveness in the discretion of the committee. Vesting. The committee determines any vesting provisions of the stock subject to a stock issuance award. Unvested shares may not be transferred, but a recipient is entitled to vote unvested shares and to receive dividends payable with respect to unvested shares. 40 Termination of Employment or Service. Upon a termination of employment or service with us for any reason, we may reacquire the unvested portion of a stock issuance award. Unless otherwise specified in the stock issuance agreement, following a change in control in which a stock issuance award is assumed, continued or substituted as described below, then upon termination of employment or service without cause within 13 months following the effective date of the change in control, the award (or any substituted award) automatically vests and becomes fully exercisable, and remains exercisable until it expires in accordance with its terms. Limitations apply if any payment or benefit to an optionee would constitute a "parachute payment" under IRC section 280G. Fair Market Value Fair market value is generally the closing selling price of our common stock quoted for the relevant date (or the most recent preceding date for which a quote is available, if there is no reported sale on the relevant date) on the NASDAQ SmallCap Market. Acceleration of Vesting and Change in Control The committee has the power at any time to accelerate the time at which an award may be exercised, or the vesting of an award. In the event we experience a change in control or corporate transaction, any surviving corporation or acquiring corporation may assume or continue outstanding awards or may substitute similar awards for those outstanding under the 1998 Plan. If the surviving corporation or acquiring corporation does not either assume or continue outstanding awards or substitute similar awards for those outstanding under the 1998 Plan, awards held by active directors, employees and consultants will automatically become fully vested and exercisable, and all awards (including those held by terminated directors, employees and consultants) will terminate on the date of change in control or corporate transaction if not exercised before then. In the event any person, entity or group within the meaning of Section 13(d) or 14(d) of the Exchange Act (excluding any employee benefit plan or related trust we or our parent or subsidiary maintains) acquires beneficial ownership within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act of securities representing at least 50% of the combined voting power entitled to vote on election of our directors, then all awards held by active directors, employees and consultants will automatically become fully vested and exercisable and remain exercisable until they expire in accordance with their terms. Limitations apply if any payment or benefit to an optionee would constitute a "parachute payment" under IRC section 280G. Current Change in Control Definition. Under current provisions, "change in control" (or "corporate transaction") is defined as a sale, lease or other disposition of all or substantially all of our assets, a merger or consolidation in which we are not the surviving corporation, or a reverse merger in which we are the surviving corporation but in which our shares are converted into other property. Proposed Amendment. Under the proposed amendment, "change in control" would be defined as: The acquisition by any individual, entity or group within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act of beneficial ownership within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act, of 30% or more of either our then outstanding shares of common stock or the combined voting power entitled to vote on election of our directors, but excluding: o acquisition directly from us other than by virtue of the exercise of a conversion privilege unless the converted security was acquired from us, o any acquisition by us, o any acquisition by an employee benefit plan or related trust sponsored or maintained by us or any company we control, o any acquisition by a corporation in a transaction in which all or substantially all of the beneficial owners of our common stock before the transaction beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than 60% of the outstanding shares of common stock of the resulting corporation (in this definition, the resulting corporation includes any parent owning our assets through its subsidiaries following a transaction), in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of our common stock before the transaction, 41 o any acquisition by a corporation in a transaction in which all or substantially all of the beneficial owners of the combined voting power entitled to vote on election of our directors before the transaction beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than 60% of the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors of the resulting corporation, in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of such voting stock before the transaction, o any acquisition by a corporation in a transaction in which no entity (other than us, our employee benefit plan or related trust, or the resulting corporation in the transaction) will beneficially own, directly or indirectly, 50% or more of the outstanding shares of common stock of the resulting corporation or 50% or more of the combined voting power of the outstanding securities of the resulting corporation entitled to vote in the election of directors, unless such ownership resulted solely from ownership of our securities before the transaction, and o any acquisition by a corporation in a transaction in which members of the incumbent board (as described below) will immediately after consummation of the transaction constitute at least a majority of the board of the resulting corporation. A change in the composition of our board of directors such that individuals who constitute the board as of December 31, 2002, excluding members elected pursuant to the terms of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, which we refer to as the incumbent board, cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of our board (excluding the Series A directors); however, any director whose election or nomination was approved by a vote of at least a majority of the incumbent board will be considered to be included as a member of the incumbent board, and any individual whose initial assumption of office as a director occurs as a result of or in connection with either an actual or threatened election contest as defined in Rule 14a-11 under the Exchange Act, or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents on behalf of an entity other than our board of directors, will not be considered a member of the incumbent board. The approval by our stockholders of our complete dissolution or liquidation. Our stockholders of a merger, reorganization, consolidation or sale or other disposition of all or substantially all our assets, or if any such transaction is subject to governmental consent, the obtaining of such consent, excluding the following: o a transaction in which all or substantially all of the beneficial owners of our common stock before the transaction beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than 60% of the outstanding shares of common stock of the resulting corporation (in this definition, the resulting corporation includes any parent owning our assets through its subsidiaries following a transaction), in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of our common stock before the transaction, o a transaction in which all or substantially all of the beneficial owners of the combined voting power entitled to vote on election of our directors before the transaction beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than 60% of the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors of the resulting corporation, in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of such voting stock before the transaction, o a transaction in which no entity (other than us, our employee benefit plan or related trust, or the resulting corporation in the transaction) will beneficially own, directly or indirectly, 50% or more of the outstanding shares of common stock of the resulting corporation or 50% or more of the combined voting power of the outstanding securities of the resulting corporation entitled to vote in the election of directors, unless such ownership resulted solely from ownership of our securities before the transaction, and o a transaction in which individuals who were members of the incumbent board will immediately after consummation of the transaction constitute at least a majority of the board of the resulting corporation. 42 A "corporate transaction" would be defined under the amendment as a "change in control". The amendment also confirms that an award may specify that upon a Change in Control, vesting under such award may be accelerated and the time for exercise may be extended and that the Board may add such rights to previously granted awards by amendment. The amendment will become effective upon the date of stockholder approval. Amendment and Termination The committee may amend the 1998 Plan at any time. However, shareholder approval is required for any amendment that would materially increase the number of shares authorized under the 1998 Plan, materially increase the benefits accruing to participants in the 1998 Plan, or materially modify the eligibility requirements for participation. No amendment will impair the rights under awards already granted unless the award recipient consents in writing. The 1998 Plan will automatically terminate ten years after original approval. Adjustments In the event of changes in our common stock without our receiving consideration, through merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization, reincorporation, stock dividend, dividend in property other than cash, stock split, liquidating dividend, combination of shares, exchange of shares, change in corporate structure or other transaction, the committee will make an appropriate adjustment to the classes and number of shares subject to the 1998 Plan, to the maximum number of shares permitted to be awarded to any person, and to the class of shares, number of securities and price per share of outstanding awards. Dissolution or Liquidation If we are dissolved or liquidated, all outstanding awards under the 1998 Plan automatically terminate immediately before the dissolution or liquidation. Transferability Options are not transferable except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. Shares subject to a stock issuance grant are not transferable until vested, except that a grantee may make a gift of unvested shares to his or her spouse, parents, issue or a trust for such individuals if the recipient of the gift agrees to be bound by the terms of the stock issuance award. Federal Income Tax Consequences The following is a brief general description of the consequences under the Internal Revenue Code, or IRC, of the receipt or exercise of options under the 1998 Plan: Incentive Stock Options. An option holder has no tax consequences upon issuance or, generally, upon exercise of an incentive stock option. An option holder will recognize income when he or she sells or exchanges the shares acquired upon exercise of an incentive stock option. This income will be taxed at the applicable capital gains rate if the sale or exchange occurs after the expiration of the requisite holding periods. Generally, the requisite holding periods expire two years after the date of grant of the incentive stock option and one year after the date of acquisition of our common stock pursuant to the exercise of the incentive stock option. If an option holder disposes of the common stock acquired pursuant to exercise of an incentive stock option before the expiration of the requisite holding periods, the option holder will recognize compensation income in an amount equal to the difference between the option price and the lesser of (i) the fair market value of the shares on the date of exercise and (ii) the price at which the shares are sold. This amount will be taxed at ordinary income rates. If the sale price of the shares is greater than the fair market value on the date of exercise, the difference will be recognized as gain by the option holder and taxed at the applicable capital gains rate. If the sale price of the shares is less than the option price, the option holder will recognize a capital loss equal to the excess of the option price over the sale price. For these purposes, the use of shares acquired upon exercise of an incentive stock option to pay the option price of another option (whether or not it is an incentive stock option) will be considered a disposition of the shares. An option holder may have tax consequences upon exercise of an incentive stock option if the aggregate fair market value of shares of the common stock subject to incentive stock options which first become exercisable by an option holder in any one calendar year exceeds $100,000. If this occurs, the excess shares will be treated as 43 though they are subject to a nonqualified stock option instead of an incentive stock option. Upon exercise of an option with respect to these shares, the option holder will have the tax consequences described below with respect to the exercise of nonqualified stock options. Finally, except to the extent that an option holder has recognized income with respect to the exercise of an incentive stock option, as described in the preceding paragraphs, the amount by which the fair market value of a share of our common stock at the time of exercise of the incentive stock option exceeds the option price will be included in determining an option holder's alternative minimum taxable income, and may cause the option holder to incur an alternative minimum tax liability in the year of exercise. There will be no tax consequences to us upon issuance or, generally, upon exercise of an incentive stock option. However, to the extent that an option holder recognizes ordinary income upon exercise, as described above, we generally will have a deduction in the same amount. Nonqualified Stock Options. Neither we nor the option holder has income tax consequences from the issuance of nonqualified stock options. Generally, in the tax year when an option holder exercises nonqualified stock options, the option holder recognizes ordinary income in the amount by which the fair market value of the shares at the time of exercise exceeds the option price for such shares. We generally will have a deduction in the same amount as the ordinary income recognized by the option holder in our tax year in which or with which the option holder's tax year (of exercise) ends. If an option holder exercises a nonqualified stock option by paying the option price with previously acquired shares of our common stock, additional rules apply. Limitation on Company Deductions. No federal income tax deduction is allowed for compensation paid to a "covered employee" in any of our taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 1994, to the extent that such compensation exceeds $1,000,000. For this purpose, "covered employees" are generally defined as our chief executive officer and our four highest compensated officers whose annual salary and bonus exceeds $100,000, and the term "compensation" generally includes amounts includable in gross income as a result of the exercise of stock options, or the receipt of stock options. This deduction limitation does not apply to compensation that is (1) commission-based compensation, (2) performance-based compensation, (3) compensation which would not be includable in an employee's gross income, and (4) compensation payable under a written binding contract in existence on February 17, 1993, and not materially modified thereafter. Compensation attributable to a stock option will generally satisfy the limitation exception for performance-based compensation if: o the grant or award is made by a "compensation committee" (a committee composed of "outside" directors); o the "material terms" (including which employees are eligible to receive compensation, the maximum number of shares that may be granted to an optionee and the exercise price of the options) of the plan under which the option or right is granted are disclosed to stockholders and approved by a majority of the stockholder vote; o the "compensation committee" certifies that performance goals were in fact satisfied before the compensation is paid; and o under the terms of the option or right, the amount of compensation the employee could receive is based solely on an increase in the value of the stock after the date of the grant or award. Stock options granted under the 1998 Plan may satisfy these requirements, depending upon the specific terms, provisions, restrictions and limitations of such options. The foregoing discussion is not a complete discussion of all federal income tax aspects of the 1998 Plan. Some of the provisions contained in the IRC have only been summarized, and additional qualifications and refinements may be contained in regulations which will be issued in the future by the Internal Revenue Service. Furthermore, subsequent legislative changes or changes in administrative or judicial interpretation could alter significantly the tax treatment discussed herein. No discussion of state income tax law has been included. Each 44 employee should consult his or her own tax advisors with respect to the tax consequences of participation in the 1998 Plan and disposition of shares acquired under the 1998 Plan. ERISA. The 1998 Plan is not, and is not intended to be, an employee benefit plan or qualified retirement plan. The 1998 Plan is not, therefore, subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, or Section 401(a) of the IRC. Recommendation of the Board of Directors The Board of Directors unanimously recommends that you vote "FOR" the proposal to ratify the Amended and Restated 1998 Stock Option/Stock Issuance Plan and approve the amendment to the Amended and Restated 1998 Stock Option/Stock Issuance Plan to change the definition of change in control. 45 PROPOSAL 9 RATIFICATION OF 2000 NON-OFFICER EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN AND AMENDMENT TO CHANGE THE DEFINITION OF CHANGE IN CONTROL Introduction to the 2000 Non-Officer Equity Incentive Plan The Internap Network Services Corporation 2000 Non-Officer Equity Incentive Plan, or 2000 Plan, is intended to provide a means by which selected employees and consultants may benefit from increases in the value of our common stock, and to help us secure and retain the services of employees and consultants and provide incentives for them to exert maximum efforts for our success. Up to 4,500,000 shares have been authorized for issuance under the 2000 Plan. Our board of directors has approved, and recommends that stockholders approve, an amendment to the 2000 Plan such that the definition of "change in control" and related provisions conform to the corresponding definitions and provisions set forth in executive employment agreements dated as of December 31, 2002, between us and seven executives, including all of our executive officers. Reasons for Ratification and Amendment to Definition of Change in Control We have determined that ratification of the 2000 Plan by our stockholders is advisable because such approval would be consistent with customary practice relative to stock compensation plans and would afford participants in those plans certain benefits that are consistent with our interests. Our board of directors believes that the 2000 Plan provides an attractive method for employees to purchase our common stock and provides employees with an important benefit. Our board of directors believes that stock options play an important role in providing eligible employees and qualifying third parties with an incentive and inducement to contribute fully and to further the growth and development of the company and its affiliates because it aligns those individuals' interests with the interests of our stockholders. On December 17, 2002, the Compensation Committee of our board of directors authorized our execution of employment agreements with seven named executives, including all of our executive officers. From April 2002, we have recruited a significant number of executive-level employees, including all but one of our executive officers. In the fall of 2002, the Compensation Committee of our board determined that it would be in our best interests to ensure that key members of our executive management team were provided with at-will employment agreements that provided, among other things, certain severance payments and benefits in the event of involuntary termination without cause and certain other severance payments and benefits in the event of involuntary termination without cause or constructive termination following specified events constituting a "change in control." The executive employment agreements are described in greater detail in the "Executive Employment Agreements" section of this proxy statement. Although the 2000 Plan is designed for the benefit of non-officers, one or more of our executive officers currently holds shares issued under the 2000 Plan. Therefore, because the term "change in control" is not consistently defined between the executive employment agreements and the 2000 Plan, if an event occurred that constituted a change in control under the executive employment agreements but did not constitute a change in control under the 2000 Plan, it would be unclear whether we could perform our obligations under the executive employment agreements without violating the terms and conditions of the 2000 Plan. The board of directors believes that the amendment is necessary to assure that the provisions of the executive employment agreements are valid and binding agreements and that we are able to perform our obligations and commitments under the executive employment agreements. The board of directors believes that it is important for the performance of our executive officers to have confidence in their employment agreements and that such agreements will not be determined to be unenforceable or preempted as a result of an unintended inconsistency with the 2000 Plan. Summary Description of the 2000 Non-Officer Equity Incentive Plan and Proposed Amendment The following is a summary of the principal features of the 2000 Plan. However, the summary does not purport to be a complete description of all the provisions of the 2000 Plan. A copy of the full text of the 2000 Plan will be furnished to any stockholder without charge upon written request made to Walter G. DeSocio the Secretary 46 of Internap. A copy of the proposed amendment to the 2000 Plan is contained in Appendix I attached to this proxy statement. Stock Subject to Awards The stock currently subject to the awards under the 2000 Plan is our common stock, par value $0.001 per share. Up to 4,500,000 shares of our common stock are authorized for issuance under the 2000 Plan. In the event that any award expires or otherwise terminates without having been exercised in full, the shares not acquired under the award will again become available for issuance under the 2000 Plan. The number of awards issued and the number of awards available for issuance under the 2000 Plan may be adjusted as described below in the event of a capital reorganization On April 25, 2003, the closing price of our common stock as reported on the NASDAQ SmallCap Market was $.45 per share. Types of Awards The 2000 Plan permits grants of nonqualified stock options, which are options not intended to meet the requirements of IRC Section 422, and thus are subject to taxation under IRC Section 83. The 2000 Plan also permits grants of stock bonuses and rights to acquire restricted stock. Administration The 2000 Plan is administered by our board of directors, except when our board of directors has delegated its authority to a committee of board members. In this summary, we will refer to the administrative body of the 2000 Plan as the committee. Among other powers and duties, the committee interprets plan provisions; establishes rules for operation of the 2000 Plan; determines who will be granted awards from among the eligible individuals; and determines the type of award, the provisions of each award granted, and the number of shares underlying each award. Our board of directors has named our Compensation Committee as the committee authorized to administer the 2000 Plan. Eligibility for Awards In consideration of their services, our employees and consultants are eligible for all awards permitted under the 2000 Plan. Consultants include any person engaged by us to render consulting or advisory services and who is compensated for those services. However, no person is eligible who holds a position of vice president or higher, who would be considered an officer or director under Rule 4460(i)(1)(A) of the National Association of Securities Dealers Manual, who would be subject to Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, or whose eligibility would require stockholder approval of the 2000 Plan under any law or regulation or rules of any stock exchange or market system on which our stock is listed. If not inconsistent with any law or regulation or rules of any stock exchange or market system on which our stock is listed, awards under the 2000 Plan may also be granted as an inducement to enter an employment contract with us or our parent or subsidiaries companies. As of April 7, 2003, there were approximately 327 employees and 14 consultants eligible to receive grants under the 2000 Plan. Options Granted As of April 7, 2003, we have granted options under the 2000 Plan to the named executive officers in the following amounts: Ali Marashi -- 23,200 options. As of April 7, 2003, the current executive officers, as a group, have been granted a total of 23,200 options under the 2000 Plan, and current directors who are not executive officers have been granted no options. Neither nominee for election as a director has been granted options. All other employees have been granted a total of 11,450,085 options. 47 Terms of Options Options granted under the 2000 Plan have terms and conditions as determined by the committee, subject to the provisions and limitations described below: Option Price. The exercise price of each option generally cannot be less than 85% of the fair market value of a share of our common stock on the date of grant. Exercise prices may be lower for options we issue in replacement of another company's options that we assume as part of a corporate transaction. Vesting. Exercisability and vesting of options may be periodic and/or based on other terms and conditions such as performance, and is determined by the committee. In addition, options may be exercisable but not vested, and subject to repurchase (of shares that would not otherwise be exercisable) upon termination of employment. Term of Options. The term of any option cannot be more than 10 years from the date of grant. Termination of Employment or Service. Following a termination of employment or service for any reason, all unexercised options that were exercisable on the date employment or service terminated remain exercisable (not extending beyond expiration of the options' term) for: o three months, or such other period of time as may be provided in the option agreement, if the termination is for any reason other than death or disability; o 12 months, or such other period of time as may be provided in the option agreement, if the termination is due to disability; and o 18 months, or such other period of time as may be provided in the option agreement, if the termination is due to death or, if the option agreement so provides, if the optionee dies within a period specified in the option agreement after termination of employment or service other than due to death (with respect to options that were exercisable on the date of death). Unless otherwise specified in the option agreement, upon a change in control in which an option is assumed, continued or substituted as described below, then upon termination of employment or service without cause within 13 months following the effective date of the change in control, the option (or any substituted award) automatically vests and becomes fully exercisable, and remains exercisable until it expires in accordance with its terms. Limitations apply if any payment or benefit to an optionee would constitute a "parachute payment" under IRC section 280G. Exercise of Options. Payment of the exercise price is generally made in cash, or, if the committee decides, by surrender to us of shares of our common stock, by a deferred payment or similar arrangement, or any other form of legal consideration acceptable to the committee. Unless otherwise provided in the option agreement, if the purchase price is paid by surrender of shares of our common stock that were acquired from us, the shares must have been held for more than six months. Terms of Stock Bonuses Stock bonuses granted under the 2000 Plan have terms and conditions as determined by the committee, subject to the provisions and limitations described below: Grant. The committee may grant stock bonuses in consideration for past services actually rendered. Vesting. A stock bonus award may be subject to repurchase under the provisions of a vesting schedule. Termination of Employment or Service. Upon a termination of employment or service with us for any reason, we may reacquire the unvested portion of a stock bonus award. Unless otherwise specified in the stock bonus agreement, upon a change in control in which a stock bonus award is assumed, continued or substituted as described below, then upon termination of employment or service without cause within 13 months following the effective date of the change in control, the award (or any substituted award) automatically vests and becomes fully exercisable, and remains exercisable until it expires in accordance with its terms. 48 Terms of Restricted Stock Awards Restricted stock awards granted under the 2000 Plan have terms and conditions as determined by the committee, subject to the limitations described below: Purchase Price. The purchase price of restricted stock under the 2000 Plan cannot be less than 85% of the fair market value of our stock on the date the award is made or at the time the purchase is consummated. The purchase price is generally paid in cash at the time of purchase, or, if the committee decides, by a deferred payment or similar arrangement, or any other form of legal consideration acceptable to the committee. Vesting. Restricted stock may be subject to repurchase under the provisions of a vesting schedule. Termination of Employment or Service. Upon a termination of employment or service with us for any reason, we may reacquire the unvested portion of a restricted stock award. Unless otherwise specified in the restricted stock agreement, upon termination of service following a change in control in which a restricted stock award is assumed, continued or substituted as described below, then upon termination of employment or service without cause within 13 months following the effective date of the change in control, the award (or any substituted award) automatically vests and becomes fully exercisable, and remains exercisable until it expires in accordance with its terms. Fair Market Value Fair market value is generally the closing sale price of our common stock (or the closing bid, if no sales were reported) quoted on the NASDAQ SmallCap Market, as published in The Wall Street Journal, for the last market trading day prior to the relevant date. Acceleration of Vesting and Change in Control The committee has the power at any time to accelerate the time at which an award may be exercised, or the vesting of an award. In the event we experience a change in control, any surviving corporation or acquiring corporation may assume or continue outstanding awards or may substitute similar awards for those outstanding under the 2000 Plan. If the surviving corporation or acquiring corporation does not either assume or continue outstanding awards or substitute similar awards for those outstanding under the 2000 Plan, awards held by active directors, employees and consultants will automatically become fully vested and exercisable, and all awards (including those held by terminated directors, employees and consultants) will terminate on the date of change in control if not exercised before then. In the event any person, entity or group within the meaning of Section 13(d) or 14(d) of the Exchange Act (excluding any employee benefit plan or related trust we or our parent or subsidiary maintains) acquires beneficial ownership within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act of securities representing at least 50% of the combined voting power entitled to vote on election of our directors, then all awards held by active directors, employees and consultants will automatically become fully vested and exercisable and remain exercisable until they expire in accordance with their terms. Limitations apply if any payment or benefit to an optionee would constitute a "parachute payment" under IRC section 280G. Current Change in Control Definition. Under current provisions, "change in control" is defined as a sale, lease or other disposition of all or substantially all of our assets, a merger or consolidation in which we are not the surviving corporation, or a reverse merger in which we are the surviving corporation but in which our shares are converted into other property. Proposed Amendment. Under the proposed amendment, "change in control" would be defined as: The acquisition by any individual, entity or group within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act of beneficial ownership within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act, of 30% or more of either our then outstanding shares of common stock or the combined voting power entitled to vote on election of our directors, but excluding: o acquisition directly from us other than by virtue of the exercise of a conversion privilege unless the converted security was acquired from us, 49 o any acquisition by us, o any acquisition by an employee benefit plan or related trust sponsored or maintained by us or any company we control, o any acquisition by a corporation in a transaction in which all or substantially all of the beneficial owners of our common stock before the transaction beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than 60% of the outstanding shares of common stock of the resulting corporation (in this definition, the resulting corporation includes any parent owning our assets through its subsidiaries following a transaction), in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of our common stock before the transaction, o any acquisition by a corporation in a transaction in which all or substantially all of the beneficial owners of the combined voting power entitled to vote on election of our directors before the transaction beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than 60% of the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors of the resulting corporation, in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of such voting stock before the transaction, o any acquisition by a corporation in a transaction in which no entity (other than us, our employee benefit plan or related trust, or the resulting corporation in the transaction) will beneficially own, directly or indirectly, 50% or more of the outstanding shares of common stock of the resulting corporation or 50% or more of the combined voting power of the outstanding securities of the resulting corporation entitled to vote in the election of directors, unless such ownership resulted solely from ownership of our securities before the transaction, and o any acquisition by a corporation in a transaction in which members of the incumbent board (as described below) will immediately after consummation of the transaction constitute at least a majority of the board of the resulting corporation. A change in the composition of our board of directors such that individuals who constitute the board as of December 31, 2002, excluding members elected pursuant to the terms of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, which we refer to as the incumbent board, cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of our board (excluding Series A directors); however, any director whose election or nomination was approved by a vote of at least a majority of the incumbent board will be considered to be included as a member of the incumbent board, and any individual whose initial assumption of office as a director occurs as a result of or in connection with either an actual or threatened election contest as defined in Rule 14a-11 under the Exchange Act, or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents on behalf of an entity other than our board of directors, will not be considered a member of the incumbent board. Our stockholders' approval of a merger, reorganization, consolidation or sale or other disposition of all or substantially all our assets, or if any such transaction is subject to governmental consent, the obtaining of such consent, excluding the following: o a transaction in which all or substantially all of the beneficial owners of our common stock before the transaction beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than 60% of the outstanding shares of common stock of the resulting corporation (in this definition, the resulting corporation includes any parent owning our assets through its subsidiaries following a transaction), in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of our common stock before the transaction, o a transaction in which all or substantially all of the beneficial owners of the combined voting power entitled to vote on election of our directors before the transaction beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than 60% of the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors of the resulting corporation, in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of such voting stock before the transaction 50 o a transaction in which no entity (other than us, our employee benefit plan or related trust, or the resulting corporation in the transaction) will beneficially own, directly or indirectly, 50% or more of the outstanding shares of common stock of the resulting corporation or 50% or more of the combined voting power of the outstanding securities of the resulting corporation entitled to vote in the election of directors, unless such ownership resulted solely from ownership of our securities before the transaction, and o a transaction in which individuals who were members of the incumbent board will immediately after consummation of the transaction constitute at least a majority of the board of the resulting corporation. The approval by our stockholders of our complete dissolution or liquidation. The amendment also confirms that an award may specify that upon a Change in Control, vesting under such award may be accelerated and the time for exercise may be extended and that the Board may add such rights to previously granted awards by amendment. The amendment will become effective upon the date of stockholder approval. Amendment and Termination The committee may amend the 2000 Plan and the terms of any outstanding awards at any time. However, if necessary to satisfy the requirements of IRC Section 422, Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act or any NASDAQ or other securities exchange listing requirements, shareholder approval of any plan amendment is required. The committee may also decide to submit other 2000 Plan amendments to stockholders for approval. No amendment will impair the rights under awards already granted unless the award recipient consents in writing. The committee may terminate the 2000 Plan at any time, and the 2000 Plan will automatically terminate 10 years after original approval. Adjustments In the event of changes in our common stock without our receiving consideration, through merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization, reincorporation, stock dividend, dividend in property other than cash, stock split, liquidating dividend, combination of shares, exchange of shares, change in corporate structure or other transaction, the committee will make an appropriate adjustment to the classes and number of shares subject to the 2000 Plan, and to the class of shares, number of securities and price per share of outstanding awards. Dissolution or Liquidation If we are dissolved or liquidated, all outstanding awards under the 2000 Plan automatically terminate immediately before the dissolution or liquidation. Transferability Options are transferable to the extent provided in the governing option agreement, or if the option agreement does not provide for transferability, options are not transferable except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. Rights to acquire shares of our stock under a stock bonus agreement are transferable as set forth in the stock bonus agreement (which is subject to the committee's discretion). Rights to acquire shares of our stock under a restricted stock agreement are transferable as set forth in the restricted stock agreement (which is subject to the committee's discretion). Federal Income Tax Consequences The following is a brief general description of the consequences under the Internal Revenue Code, or IRC, of the receipt or exercise of options under the 2000 Plan: Incentive Stock Options. The 2000 Plan does not provide for the grant of incentive stock options. Nonqualified Stock Options. Neither we nor the option holder has income tax consequences from the issuance of nonqualified stock options. Generally, in the tax year when an option holder exercises nonqualified stock options, the option holder recognizes ordinary income in the amount by which the fair market value of the shares at the time of exercise exceeds the option price for such shares. We generally will have a deduction in the 51 same amount as the ordinary income recognized by the option holder in our tax year in which or with which the option holder's tax year (of exercise) ends. If an option holder exercises a nonqualified stock option by paying the option price with previously acquired shares of our common stock, additional rules apply. Limitation on Company Deductions. No federal income tax deduction is allowed for compensation paid to a "covered employee" in any of our taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 1994, to the extent that such compensation exceeds $1,000,000. For this purpose, "covered employees" are generally defined as our chief executive officer and our four highest compensated officers whose annual salary and bonus exceeds $100,000, and the term "compensation" generally includes amounts includable in gross income as a result of the exercise of stock options, or the receipt of stock options. This deduction limitation does not apply to compensation that is (1) commission-based compensation, (2) performance-based compensation, (3) compensation which would not be includable in an employee's gross income, and (4) compensation payable under a written binding contract in existence on February 17, 1993, and not materially modified thereafter. Compensation attributable to a stock option will generally satisfy the limitation exception for performance-based compensation if: o the grant or award is made by a "compensation committee" (a committee composed of "outside" directors); o the "material terms" (including which employees are eligible to receive compensation, the maximum number of shares that may be granted to an optionee and the exercise price of the options) of the plan under which the option or right is granted are disclosed to stockholders and approved by a majority of the stockholder vote; o the "compensation committee" certifies that performance goals were in fact satisfied before the compensation is paid; and o under the terms of the option or right, the amount of compensation the employee could receive is based solely on an increase in the value of the stock after the date of the grant or award. Awards granted under the 2000 Plan are not designed to satisfy these requirements. The foregoing discussion is not a complete discussion of all federal income tax aspects of the 2000 Plan. Some of the provisions contained in the IRC have only been summarized, and additional qualifications and refinements may be contained in regulations which will be issued in the future by the Internal Revenue Service. Furthermore, subsequent legislative changes or changes in administrative or judicial interpretation could alter significantly the tax treatment discussed herein. No discussion of state income tax law has been included. Each employee should consult his or her own tax advisors with respect to the tax consequences of participation in the 2000 Plan and disposition of shares acquired under the 2000 Plan. ERISA. The 2000 Plan is not, and is not intended to be, an employee benefit plan or qualified retirement plan. The 2000 Plan is not, therefore, subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, or Section 401(a) of the IRC. Recommendation of the Board of Directors The Board of Directors unanimously recommends that you vote "FOR" the ratification of the 2000 Non-Officer Equity Incentive Plan and approval of the amendment to the 2000 Non-Officer Equity Incentive Plan to change the definition of change in control. 52 PROPOSAL 10 ELECTION OF DIRECTORS Our board of directors presently consists of seven members. The board is divided into three classes, with the directors in each class serving a three-year term. The terms are staggered so that the term of one class expires at each Annual Meeting. The directors in Class I, Mr. Gregory A. Peters and Mr. Robert D. Shurtleff, Jr., hold office until this annual meeting of stockholders. The directors in Class II, Fredric W. Harman and Kevin L. Ober, hold office until the 2004 annual meeting of stockholders. The directors in Class III, Mr. Eugene Eidenberg, Mr. William J. Harding and Mr. Anthony C. Naughtin, hold office until the 2005 annual meeting of stockholders. No family relationships exist among any of our directors or executive officers. Currently, subject to certain conditions set forth in our certificate of incorporation, the holders of our Series A preferred stock have the right, voting as a separate class, to elect two directors to our board of directors or to fill any vacancy caused by the resignation, death of removal of such directors. The board of directors has nominated Gregory A. Peters and Robert D. Shurtleff, Jr. for re-election as Class I directors to serve until the 2006 annual meeting of stockholders and until their successors are elected and have been qualified, or until such directors' death, resignation or removal. The persons nominated for election to Class I have agreed to serve if elected, and management has no reason to believe they will be unable to serve. The Board of Directors unanimously recommends that you vote "FOR" the named nominees.

Summaries of Plans Not Approved by Our Stockholders SwitchSoft Systems, Inc. Founders 1996 Stock Option Plan We assumed the SwitchSoft Systems, Inc. Founders 1996 Stock Option Plan, which we refer to as the 1996 Plan, in connection with the acquisition of VPNX.com, Inc.

The 1996 Plan provides for grants of incentive stock options and nonqualified stock options for which up to 1,041,050 shares have been authorized. Employees are eligible to receive incentive stock options and employees, directors and independent contractors are eligible for nonqualified options. Terms and conditions of options are determined by our board or a committee appointed by the board. The exercise price cannot be less than 85% of fair market value at grant in the case of a nonqualified option, or 100% in the case of an incentive stock option, and will be paid in cash, by check, or through a deferred payment arrangement approved by our board, or by delivery of other property if authorized by our board. The term of an option is limited to 10 years from grant. The options vest at a rate at least 20% per year. Upon termination of employment other than due to death or disability, options may generally be exercised for one month or a longer period determined by our board of directors. Upon termination due to death or disability, options may generally be exercised for 12 months or a longer period determined by our board of directors. If we are the surviving corporation in any merger, business combination, reorganization or reconsolidation, options under the 1996 Plan will be appropriately adjusted. If we are not the surviving corporation, outstanding options terminate unless assumed or replaced with substitute options. The board may amend the 1996 Plan at any time, but shareholder approval is required if the amendment would increase the shares available, materially modify the eligibility requirements, or materially increase the benefits accruing to plan participants, and optionee consent is required for the amendment to alter or impair the rights of existing optionees. The 1996 Plan automatically terminates ten years after its adoption. SwitchSoft Systems, Inc. 1997 Stock Option Plan We assumed the SwitchSoft Systems, Inc. 1997 Stock Option Plan, which we refer to as the 1997 Plan, in connection with the acquisition of VPNX.com, Inc. Although some grants are still outstanding under this plan, we do not intend to issue any additional grants from the 1997 Plan. The 1997 Plan provides for grants of incentive stock options and nonqualified stock options for which up to 1,746,450 shares have been authorized. Employees are eligible to receive incentive stock options and employees, directors and independent contractors are eligible for nonqualified options. Terms and conditions of options are determined by our board or a committee appointed by the board. The exercise price cannot be less than 85% of fair market value at grant in the case of a nonqualified option, 61 or 100% in the case of an incentive stock option, and will be paid in cash, by check, or through a deferred payment arrangement approved by our board, or by delivery of other property if authorized by our board. The term of an option is limited to 10 years from grant. The options vest at a rate at least 20% per year. Upon termination of employment other than due to death or disability, options may generally be exercised for one month or a longer period determined by our board of directors. Upon termination due to death or disability, options may generally be exercised for 12 months or a longer period determined by our board of directors.

If we are not the surviving corporation, outstanding options terminate unless assumed or replaced with substitute options. The board may amend the 1997 Plan at any time, but shareholder approval is required if the amendment would increase the shares available, materially modify the eligibility requirements, or materially increase the benefits accruing to plan participants, and optionee consent is required for the amendment to alter or impair the rights of existing optionees. The 1997 Plan automatically terminates ten years after its adoption. Brief summaries of the material features of our 2002 Stock Compensation Plan, Amended 1999 Equity Incentive Plan, Amended and Restated 1999 Stock Incentive Plan for Non-Officers, Amended and Restated 1998 Stock Option/Stock Issuance Plan and 2000 Non-Officer Equity Incentive Plan are provided in Proposals 4, 6, 7, 8 and 9, respectively. Executive Employment Agreements Agreement with Mr. Peters Effective March 28, 2002, Mr. Peters entered into an at-will employment agreement with us. The agreement provides that Mr. Peters serves as our President and Chief Executive Officer and receives an annual base salary of $350,000. Mr. Peters is eligible for a discretionary bonus ranging from 50% to 150% of his base salary based on performance. Under the agreement, Mr. Peters was required to relocate to Seattle, WA no later than October 1, 2002, and received a relocation allowance up to $100,000 (plus a gross-up payment to cover taxes on any taxable portion of the relocation allowance), which was repayable to us in part if Mr. Peters terminated employment without good reason before March 28, 2003. In addition, we paid for housing searches for Mr. Peters and his spouse in connection with the relocation. The agreement provides that Mr. Peters would receive an option to purchase 2,400,000 shares of our stock under our Amended 1999 Equity Incentive Plan, which would vest with respect to 25% of the shares on the first anniversary of grant and monthly in 1/48 increments thereafter, would have a term of ten years, would have an exercise price equal to the closing price of our common stock on the date of grant, and would remain exercisable for one year following termination of his employment other than for cause. The agreement also provides for a performance-based stock option grant of 1,000,000 shares under our Amended 1999 Equity Incentive Plan or our 1998 Stock Option/Stock Issuance Plan, which would vest with respect to 100% of the shares on the sixth anniversary of grant or earlier if certain performance goals are met, would have an exercise price equal to the closing price of our stock on the date of grant, would have a term of ten years, and would remain exercisable for one year following termination of Mr. Peters' employment other than for cause. The agreement provides that Mr. Peters receives 18 days of combined vacation and sick leave per year, plus three personal days. In addition, we reimbursed Mr. Peters up to $7,500 plus a tax bonus up to $5,500 for attorneys' fees in connection with Mr. Peters' negotiation of his employment agreement. The agreement also requires Mr. Peters to execute a confidentiality, non-raiding, invention assignment and non-competition agreement with us, which survives termination of Mr. Peters' employment. Severance Upon Termination Without Cause or Due to Good Reason. Upon our termination of Mr. Peters' employment without cause, or Mr. Peters' voluntary termination for good reason, Mr. Peters receives a cash severance payment equal to twelve months of his then current base salary, on the condition that Mr. Peters executes a release of claims. Severance Upon Change in Control. In the event that Mr. Peters' employment is terminated without cause or he resigns for good reason, in either case within 13 months of a change in control (as defined in the agreement), in lieu of the otherwise applicable severance payments, Mr. Peters will receive a cash severance payment equal to 12 months of his then-current base salary and then-current earned discretionary bonus, and 100% of his unvested stock options become fully vested and exercisable, on the condition that Mr. Peters executes a release of claims. 62 Limitations apply if any payment under the agreement would be considered a parachute payment under IRC section 280G. Other Severance. If Mr. Peters terminates employment with us and requests a waiver of non-competition provisions but we unreasonably refuse to waive the non-competition provisions, Mr. Peters receives a payment of 12 months of his base salary less any severance payments he is otherwise entitled to under the agreement, on the condition that Mr. Peters executes a release of claims. Such severance payments are to be paid pro rata over the remaining period of the non-competition provisions. Agreement with Mr. Eidenberg Effective July 25, 2001, Mr. Eidenberg began serving as our Chief Executive Officer and we entered into an at-will employment agreement with Mr. Eidenberg. Under this agreement, Mr. Eidenberg's employment could be terminated by us or by Mr. Eidenberg at any time, with or without cause and with or without notice. Under the agreement, Mr. Eidenberg received a base salary of $29,066.66 per month and accrued 10 days of paid time off after each six months of employment. The agreement also entitled Mr. Eidenberg to receive an option under our 1999 Equity Incentive Plan to purchase 1,000,000 shares of our common stock at fair market value on the date of grant, 250,000 of which were vested on the date of grant, 250,000 of which vested on January 25, 2000, and 500,000 of which will vest on July 25, 2003, subject to acceleration based on meeting certain corporate objectives or in the event of a change in control. The option remains exercisable for three years following termination of Mr. Eidenberg's employment for any reason. The agreement also required us to reimburse Mr. Eidenberg up to $4,100 per month for housing costs during his employment as Chief Executive Officer and to reimburse up to $7,500 for Mr. Eidenberg's attorneys' fees incurred in reviewing the agreement. Limitations apply if any payment under the agreement would be considered a parachute payment under IRC section 280G. Mr. Eidenberg's employment agreement also contains a confidentiality provision, assignment of inventions, and a one-year noncompetition covenant. On April 2, 2002, Mr. Eidenberg ceased serving as our Chief Executive Officer and became our Executive Chairman. Effective as of that date, Mr. Eidenberg agreed to devote one-third of his time to Company matters in his capacity as Executive Chairman and in consideration therefor his base salary was correspondingly reduced to one-third of his base salary immediately prior to April 2, 2003. The remaining provisions of Mr. Eidenberg's employment agreement continued without modification. Arrangement with Mr. Scanlon Effective October 31, 2002, we entered into a letter agreement with John Scanlon to provide for automatic termination of his employment with the Company no later than January 31, 2003. Prior to the effective date of the letter agreement, we had announced that Mr. Scanlon would not be relocating to Atlanta and would resign as Chief Financial Officer upon appointment of his successor. The letter agreement provides for Mr. Scanlon to receive six months' base salary and certain other customary severance benefits. The receipt of severance benefits by Mr. Scanlon is conditioned on his execution and delivery to us of a previously agreed upon release and settlement agreement. Pursuant to the letter agreement, Mr. Scanlon remains subject to certain confidentiality obligations and, for a period of one year after termination, certain non-competition obligations in favor of the Company. Agreement with Mr. Marashi Effective December 31, 2002, we entered into an at-will employment agreement with Mr. Ali Marashi. The agreement provides that Mr. Marashi will serve as our Vice President and Chief Technology Officer, and will receive an annual base salary of $190,000, which may be increased or decreased by our chief executive officer in consultation with our board or compensation committee. The agreement also provides that Mr. Marashi will receive a bonus of up to 50% of his base salary, based on the satisfaction of performance goals, in the event we adopt a bonus plan for executives and senior officers. We have not implemented such a bonus plan at this time. Any bonus may be payable in shares of our common stock or other equity securities, including restricted stock and stock options. The agreement provides that Mr. Marashi will accrue 20 days of combined vacation/sick leave annually and will receive three personal days each year. The agreement also contains a provision requiring Mr. Marashi to maintain the confidentiality of our confidential information, a non-competition provision for one year following 63 termination of employment (which may be waived), and a provision prohibiting solicitation of our employees within one year following termination of employment. Our employment of Mr. Marashi may be terminated under the agreement by us or by Mr. Marashi, at any time, with or without advance notice. Severance upon Termination Without Cause. The agreement provides that if Mr. Marashi's employment is terminated by us without cause, he will receive from us a cash severance payment equal to one year of his then-current base salary. In addition, upon our termination of Mr. Marashi's employment without cause, his unvested options and any other unvested equity compensation he received from us will terminate, and his vested options will remain exercisable no later than three months after termination of his employment. Severance Following Change in Control. Furthermore, pursuant to the agreement, in the event that Mr. Marashi's employment is terminated without cause or he resigns for good reason, in either case within 12 months of a change in control (as such term is defined in the agreement), he will receive a cash severance payment equal to 24 months of his then-current base salary and then-current maximum target bonus, and 100% of his unvested stock options and additional equity compensation shall become vested, free of restrictions (if any), and immediately exercisable for the remaining term of the relevant grant or award. In addition, he will continue to receive health care and life insurance coverage for 24 months as if he were an active employee (subject to the employee portion of premiums for such coverages). COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION The Compensation Committee of the board of directors consists of Kevin L. Ober and Robert D. Shurtleff, Jr., each of whom is a non-employee director. The Compensation Committee is responsible for establishing and administering compensation policies and programs for our executive officers. This report reflects our compensation philosophy. Executive Officer Compensation Our executive compensation program has been designed to (i) ensure that compensation provided to executive officers is closely aligned with its business objectives and financial performance; (ii) enable us to attract and retain those officers and other key executives who contribute to our long-term success; and (iii) maximize stockholder value. Executive compensation generally consists of three components: (i) base salary; (ii) annual cash bonus; and (iii) long-term incentive awards. The Chief Executive Officer annually recommends executive officer compensation levels to the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee makes the final determination of executive compensation levels but relies on the Chief Executive Officer's annual recommendations because it believes the Chief Executive Officer is the most qualified person to make assessments about individual performance. The Compensation Committee annually reviews and establishes each executive officer's compensation package by considering (i) the extent to which specified corporate objectives for the preceding year were attained; (ii) the experience and contribution levels of the individual executive officer; and (iii) to a lesser extent, the salary and bonus levels of executive officers in similar positions in companies in the same or related industries as Internap. In early 2002, the Compensation Committee recognized that the many restructuring and other cost-cutting steps required to be taken during the course of that year rendered impractical the establishment of specified corporate objectives. In light of the selection of a new Chief Executive Officer in April 2002 and the decision in June 2002 to relocate our headquarters from Seattle, Washington to Atlanta, Georgia, the Compensation Committee continued to view as impractical the establishment of such objectives. During 2002, in particular the latter half of that year, the Compensation Committee worked closely with the Chief Executive Officer and our human resources employees to recruit a number of executives to join the Company. In 2002, apart from the Chief Executive Officer, one current employee, Ali Marashi, became our Vice President and Chief Technology Officer. In evaluating and approving the compensation packages for our executive officers, the Compensation Committee took into account numerous factors, including the scope of the relevant position, level of experience and type and length of industry experience. 64 For 2003, the Compensation Committee has decided not to establish specific objectives, including financial performance goals, for its executive officers against which bonus compensation would be paid and not to implement a bonus program for such officers. There is no assurance that the Compensation Committee will establish such objectives or such a program or pay bonus compensation in the future. The Compensation Committee also grants stock options to executive officers to provide long-term incentives that are aligned with the creation of increased stockholder value over time. Options typically are granted at fair market value at the date of grant, have a ten year term and generally vest 25% on the first anniversary of vesting commencement date and in equal 36 monthly installments thereafter. Most stock option grants to executive officers occur in conjunction with the executive officer's acceptance of employment with us. The Compensation Committee, however, reviews stock option levels for all executive officers throughout each fiscal year in light of long-term strategic and performance objectives, each executive officer's current and anticipated contributions to our future performance and the value of such executive's current stock option package. When determining the number of stock options to be awarded to an executive officer, the Compensation Committee considers the executive officer's current contribution to our performance, the executive officer's past option awards and their current value, the executive officer's anticipated contribution in meeting our long-term strategic performance goals and comparisons to formal and informal surveys of executive stock option grants made by other Internet infrastructure companies. Compensation of the Chief Executive Officer The Compensation Committee reviews our Chief Executive Officer's compensation annually using the same criteria and policies as are employed for other executive officers. In April 2002, Mr. Eidenberg resigned as Chief Executive Officer and Mr. Peters began serving as Chief Executive Officer. In addition, pursuant to an employment agreement dated March 28, 2002 between Mr. Peters and us, Mr. Peters was granted a stock option to purchase 2,400,000 shares of common stock with a ten year term, with vesting for 25% of such shares on the first anniversary of vesting and in equal installments over the 36 months thereafter, and a performance-based option to purchase 1,000,000 shares with the same vesting terms. Limitations on the Deductibility of Executive Compensation Compensation payments in excess of $1 million to the Chief Executive Officer or the other five most highly compensated executive officers are subject to a limitation on deductibility by us under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Certain performance-based compensation is not subject to the limitation on deductibility. The Compensation Committee does not expect cash compensation in 2003 to our Chief Executive Officer or any other executive officer to be in excess of $1 million. We intend to maintain qualification of our 2002 Stock Compensation Plan, Amended and Restated 1998 Stock Option/Stock Issuance Plan, Amended 1999 Equity Incentive Plan for the performance-based exception to the $1 million limitation on deductibility of compensation payments. The Compensation Committee believes its executive compensation philosophy serves Internap's interests and the interests of our stockholders. Compensation Committee: Kevin L. Ober Robert D. Shurtleff, Jr. 65 Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation None of our executive officers or directors serve as a member of the board of directors or compensation committee of any entity that has one or more of its executive officers serving as a member of our board of directors or Compensation Committee. 66 STOCK PERFORMANCE GRAPH The graph set forth below compares cumulative total return to our stockholders from an investment in our common stock with the cumulative total return of the NASDAQ Composite Index and the Goldman/Sachs Internet Index, resulting from an initial assumed investment of $100 in each and assuming the reinvestment of any dividends, ending at December 31, 2000, December 31, 2001, and December 31, 2002, respectively.

In October 2002, our board of directors adopted an updated Audit Committee Charter that sets forth the responsibilities of the Audit Committee. A copy of the Audit Committee Charter is filed as Appendix J to this Proxy Statement. Management has primary responsibility for our financial statements and the overall reporting process, including our system of internal controls. The independent auditors audit the annual financial statements prepared by management, express an opinion as to whether those financial statements fairly present our financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and discuss with the Audit Committee any issues they believe should be raised with the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee monitors these processes, relying, without independent verification, on the information provided to it and on the representations made by management and the independent auditors. Representatives of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, our independent auditors, attended each meeting of the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee reviewed and discussed with management and PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP our audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2002 and our unaudited quarterly financial statements for the quarters ended March 31, June 30 and September 30, 2002. The Audit Committee also discussed with PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP the matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61 (Communications with Audit Committees). The Audit Committee also received the written disclosures and the letter from PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP that are required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1 (Independence Discussions with Audit Committees) and has discussed with PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP its independence. The Audit Committee considered whether the services provided by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP for the year ended December 31, 2002 are compatible with maintaining their independence. The Audit Committee has determined to engage PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as our independent auditors for the year ending December 31, 2003. Based upon its review of the audited financial statements and the discussions noted above, the Audit Committee recommended that the board of directors include the audited financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002 for filing with the SEC. Audit Committee: William J. Harding Fredric W. Harman Kevin L. Ober CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND TRANSACTIONS On January 1, 2002, we entered into a consulting agreement with Lyford Cay Securities Corp., an affiliate of one of our stockholders, INT Investments, Inc., that beneficially owns more than 5% of our outstanding common stock. Under the terms of this consulting agreement, which was completed in 2002, we paid Lyford Cay Securities Corp. $400,000 to provide us with financial advisory and strategic advice. In 2002, we engaged Korn/Ferry International, a national executive recruiting firm, to assist in the identification and recruitment of senior executives. We also entered into agreements with other nationally known recruiting firms for additional senior executive searches. For the 2002 fiscal year, we paid Korn/Ferry $262,096 in connection with executive placements. Gregory A. Peters, our President and Chief Executive Officer, is the son-in-law of a managing director of Korn/Ferry. We have entered into indemnification agreements with our directors and executive officers for the indemnification of and advancement of expenses to such persons to the fullest extent permitted by law. We also intend to enter into these agreements with our future directors and executive officers. 68 SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and regulations of the SEC thereunder require our directors, officers and persons who own more than 10% of our common stock, as well as certain affiliates of such persons, to file initial reports of their ownership of our common stock and subsequent reports of changes in such ownership with the SEC. Directors, officers and persons owning more than 10% of our common stock are required by SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) reports they file. Based solely on a review of the copies of such reports furnished to us and written representations that no other reports were required, during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002, all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to our officers, directors and greater than ten percent stockholders were complied with, except for the following: David L. Abrahamson, the Company's Chief Marketing Officer and Vice President, Sales, timely filed a Form 3 but inadvertently did not include in that report direct shareholdings. This error was corrected by amending the Form 3 report. David T. Benton, the Company's former Vice President, Service Delivery, did not complete three Form 4 filings regarding same day stock option exercise and sale transactions within the time period allowed. This error was corrected by the reporting of these transactions in his year-end Form 5. John M. Scanlon, the Company's former Vice President of Finance and Administration, Chief Financial Officer and Secretary, did not complete one Form 4 filing regarding a stock option grant within the time period allowed. This error was corrected by the reporting of this transaction in his year-end Form 5. Walter G. DeSocio, the Company's Vice President, Chief Administrative Officer, General Counsel and Secretary, did not complete a Form 3 filing within the time period allowed. This omission was corrected in his year-end Form 5. Also during fiscal 2002, Mr. DeSocio timely reported a transaction regarding a stock option grant but reported an incorrect exercise price on part of the options granted. This error was corrected by amending the Form 4 report. 69 PROPOSAL 11 RATIFICATION OF SELECTION OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS Our board of directors has selected PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as its independent accountants for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2003 and has further directed that management submit the selection of the independent accountants for ratification by the stockholders at the Annual Meeting. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP has audited our financial statements since our inception in 1996. Representatives of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP are expected to be present at the Annual Meeting, will have an opportunity to make a statement if they so desire and will be available to respond to appropriate questions. Stockholder ratification of the selection of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as our independent accountants is not required by our bylaws or otherwise. However, the board of directors is submitting the selection of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP to the stockholders for ratification as a matter of good corporate governance. If the stockholders fail to ratify the selection, the Audit Committee and the board of directors will reconsider whether to retain that firm. Even if the selection is ratified, the Audit Committee and the board of directors in their discretion may direct the appointment of different independent accountants at any time during the year if they determine that such a change would be in the best interests of us and our stockholders. Audit Fees During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002, the aggregate fees billed by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP for the audit of our financial statements for such fiscal year and for the reviews of our interim financial statements were $217,500. Financial Information Systems Design and Implementation Fees During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002, no fees were billed by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP for information technology consulting. All Other Fees During fiscal year ended December 31, 2002, the aggregate fees billed by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP for professional services other than audit fees were $250,238. Substantially all of these fees were for services traditionally provided by accountants, such as review of tax returns, consultation on tax accounting matters and other special purpose audits. The Audit Committee has determined the rendering of all other non-audit services by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP is compatible with maintaining the independence of our independent accountants. The Board of Directors unanimously recommends that you vote "FOR" the ratification of the selection of our independent accountants. 70 STOCKHOLDERS' PROPOSALS FOR 2004 ANNUAL MEETING Proposals of stockholders, including nominations for the board of directors, intended to be presented at the 2004 Annual Meeting of Stockholders must be received by us at our executive offices in Atlanta, Georgia, on or before February 17, 2004 to be eligible for inclusion in our proxy statement and form of proxy relating to that meeting and to be introduced for action at the meeting. In accordance with our bylaws, for business to be properly brought before a meeting, but not included in the proxy, a stockholder must submit a proposal, including nominations for the board of directors, not earlier than February 17, 2004 and not later than March 19, 2004. OTHER MATTERS THAT MAY COME BEFORE THE ANNUAL MEETING Our board of directors knows of no matters other than those referred to in the accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders which may properly come before the Annual Meeting. However, if any other matter should be properly presented for consideration and voting at the Annual Meeting or any adjournments thereof, it is the intention of the persons named as proxies on the enclosed form of proxy card to vote the shares represented by all valid proxy cards in accordance with their judgment of what is in the best interest of Internap.

In addition, during the periods commencing on August 14, 2002 and ending on (i) August 14, 2005 and (ii) and on each August 14 thereafter for the remaining Term of the Plan (as described in Section 6 hereof), less than fifty percent (50%) of the Shares subject to Stock Awards granted in such periods may be granted to Officers and Directors, except that there shall be excluded from this calculation Shares subject to Stock Awards granted to Officers not previously employed by the Company pursuant to Stock Awards granted as an inducement essential to such individuals entering into employment contracts with the Company. K-4 (d) Consultants. (i) A Consultant shall not be eligible for the grant of a Stock Award if, at the time of grant, a Form S-8 Registration Statement under the Securities Act ("Form S-8") is not available to register either the offer or the sale of the Company's securities to such Consultant because of the nature of the services that the Consultant is providing to the Company, or because the Consultant is not a natural person, or as otherwise provided by the rules governing the use of Form S-8, unless the Company determines both (i) that such grant (A) shall be registered in another manner under the Securities Act (e.g., on a Form S-3 Registration Statement) or (B) does not require registration under the Securities Act in order to comply with the requirements of the Securities Act, if applicable, and (ii) that such grant complies with the securities laws of all other relevant jurisdictions. (ii) Form S-8 generally is available to consultants and advisors only if (i) they are natural persons; (ii) they provide bona fide services to the issuer; and (iii) the services are not in connection with the offer or sale of securities in a capital-raising transaction, and do not directly or indirectly promote or maintain a market for the issuer's securities. (e) No Employment or Other Service Rights. Nothing in the Plan or any instrument executed or Stock Award granted pursuant thereto shall confer upon any Participant any right to continue to serve the Company or an Affiliate in the capacity in effect at the time the Stock Award was granted or shall affect the right of the Company or an Affiliate to terminate (i) the employment of an Employee at any time, for any reason or no reason, with or without notice and with or without cause, (ii) the service of a Consultant pursuant to the terms of such Consultant's agreement with the Company or an Affiliate or (iii) the service of a Director pursuant to the Bylaws of the Company or an Affiliate, and any applicable provisions of the corporate law of the state in which the Company or the Affiliate is incorporated, as the case may be. 6. Term of Plan. The Plan (as amended and restated hereby) became effective as of August 14, 2002 and shall continue in effect until terminated under Section 15 of the Plan. 7. Term of Option. The term of each Option shall be the term stated in the written option agreement; provided, however, that the term shall be no more than ten (10) years from the date of grant thereof, unless otherwise provided in the option agreement. 8. Option Exercise Price and Consideration. (a) The per Share exercise price for the Shares to be issued pursuant to exercise of an Option granted under the Plan shall be determined by the Administrator. Options may be granted with a per Share exercise price which is either above or below the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant, at the discretion of the Administrator. (b) The consideration to be paid by the Optionee (or permitted transferee as provided for in Section 10) for the Shares to be issued upon exercise of an Option by the Optionee (or permitted transferee), including the method of payment, shall be determined by the Administrator and may consist entirely of (1) cash, (2) check, (3) promissory note, (4) other Shares which (x) in the case of Shares acquired upon exercise of an Option either have been owned by the Optionee for more than six months on the date of surrender or were not acquired, directly or indirectly, from the Company, and (y) have a Fair Market Value on the date of surrender equal to the aggregate exercise price of the Shares as to which said Option shall be exercised, (5) authorization from the Company to retain from the total number of Shares as to which the Option is exercised that number of Shares having a Fair Market Value on the date of exercise equal to the exercise price for the total number of Shares as to which the Option is exercised, (6) delivery of a properly executed exercise notice together with such other documentation as the Administrator and the broker, if applicable, shall require to effect an exercise of the Option and delivery to the Company of the sale or broker loan proceeds required to pay the exercise price, (7) by delivering an irrevocable subscription agreement for the Shares which irrevocably obligates the Optionee to take and pay for the Shares not more than twelve months after the date of delivery of the subscription agreement, (8) any combination of the foregoing methods of payment, (9) or such other consideration and method of payment for the issuance of Shares to the extent permitted under Applicable Laws. In making its determination as to the type of consideration to accept, K-5 the Administrator shall consider whether acceptance of such consideration may be reasonably expected to benefit the Company. At any time that the Company is incorporated in Delaware, if the Optionee (or permitted transferee as provided for in Section 10) is permitted by the Company to pay the exercise price for the issuance of the applicable Shares by deferred payment or promissory note, then the Optionee (or permitted transferee) must pay an amount at least equal to the Common Stock's "par value," as defined in the Delaware General Corporation Law in cash or cash equivalents rather than by deferred payment or promissory note. In the case of any promissory note, such promissory note will be a full recourse promissory note, shall provide for interest to be compounded at least annually and to be charged at the market rate of interest necessary to avoid a charge to earnings for financial accounting purposes, and shall be on such further terms as the Board shall determine. No promissory note shall be permitted if the exercise of an Option using a promissory note would be a violation of any Applicable Law. 9. Exercise of Option. (a) Procedure for Exercise; Rights as a Stockholder. Any Option granted hereunder shall be exercisable at such times and under such conditions as determined by the Administrator, consistent with the terms of the Plan, and reflected in the written option agreement, including vesting requirements and/or performance criteria with respect to the Company and/or the Optionee. With respect to Options granted under the Plan, the Administrator shall have the discretion to determine whether and to what extent the vesting of such Options shall be tolled during any unpaid leave of absence or transfer from one member of the Affiliated Group to another member of the Affiliated Group; provided however that in the absence of such determination, vesting of such Options shall be tolled during any such leave, to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws. An Option may not be exercised for a fraction of a Share. An Option shall be deemed to be exercised when written or electronic notice of such exercise has been given to the Company in accordance with the terms of the Option by the person entitled to exercise the Option and full payment for the Shares with respect to which the Option is exercised has been received by the Company or its authorized agent. Full payment may, as authorized by the Administrator, consist of any consideration and method of payment allowable under Section 8(b) of the Plan and as set forth in the written option agreement. Until the Company or its duly authorized agent has issued the stock certificate evidencing such Shares (or transmitted such Shares via electronic delivery to the Optionee's brokerage account), no right to vote or receive dividends or any other rights as a stockholder shall exist with respect to the Optioned Stock, notwithstanding the exercise of the Option. The Company shall issue (or cause to be issued) such stock certificate or electronic Share delivery promptly upon exercise of the Option. No adjustment will be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to the date the stock certificate is issued or the date the Shares are electronically delivered to the Optionee's brokerage account, as applicable, except as provided in Section 13 of the Plan. Exercise of an Option in any manner shall result in a decrease in the number of Shares which thereafter may be available, both for purposes of the Plan and for sale under the Option, by the number of Shares as to which the Option is exercised. (b) Termination of Employment. With respect to Options granted under the Plan, in the event of termination of an Optionee's service with the Company and its Affiliates, such Optionee may, but only within such period of time as determined by the Board or the Committee and set forth in the option agreement (but in no event later than the expiration date of the term of such Option as set forth in the option agreement), exercise his or her Option to the extent that Optionee was entitled to exercise it at the date of such termination; unless such Option is amended while it remains outstanding. To the extent that Optionee was not entitled to exercise the Option at the date of such termination, or if Optionee does not exercise such Option to the extent so entitled within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate. With respect to Options granted under the Plan, the Board (or its delegate), in its sole discretion, shall determine whether a termination shall be deemed to occur and this Section 9(b) shall apply if (i) the Optionee is a Consultant or non-employee Director at the time of grant and subsequently becomes an Employee, (ii) the Optionee is an Employee at the time of grant and subsequently becomes a Consultant or non-employee Director or (iii) the Optionee transfers from one member of the Affiliated Group to another member of the Affiliated Group. K-6 (c) Disability of Optionee. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 9(b) above, with respect to Options granted under the Plan, in the event of termination of an Optionee's service with the Company and its Affiliates as a result of his or her Disability, such Optionee may, but only within twelve (12) months from the date of such termination or as otherwise determined by the Board or the Committee and set forth in the option agreement (but in no event later than the expiration date of the term of such Option as set forth in the option agreement), exercise the Option to the extent otherwise entitled to exercise it at the date of such termination. To the extent that Optionee was not entitled to exercise the Option at the date of termination, or if Optionee does not exercise such Option to the extent so entitled within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate. With respect to Options granted under the Plan, the Board (or its delegate), in its sole discretion, shall determine whether a termination shall be deemed to occur and this Section 9(c) shall apply if (i) the Optionee is a Consultant or non-employee Director at the time of grant and subsequently becomes an Employee, (ii) the Optionee is an Employee at the time of grant and subsequently becomes a Consultant or non-employee Director or (iii) the Optionee transfers from one member of the Affiliated Group to another member of the Affiliated Group. (d) Death of Optionee. In the event of Optionee's death while a Service Provider, with respect to Options granted under the Plan, his or her Option may be exercised, at any time within twelve (12) months following the date of death or as otherwise determined by the Board or the Committee and set forth in the option agreement (but in no event later than the expiration date of the term of such Option as set forth in the option agreement), by the Optionee's estate, by a person who acquired the right to exercise the Option by bequest or inheritance or by the laws of descent and distribution or by a beneficiary designated to exercise the Option upon the Optionee's death pursuant to Section 10, but only to the extent the Optionee was entitled to exercise the Option at the date of death. To the extent that Optionee was not entitled to exercise the Option at the date of death, or if Optionee's estate, the person who acquired the right to exercise the Option by bequest or inheritance or by the laws of descent and distribution or the beneficiary designated to exercise the Option upon the Optionee's death pursuant to Section 10 does not exercise such Option to the extent so entitled within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate. (e) Extension of Exercise Period. The Administrator shall have full power and authority to extend the period of time for which an Option is to remain exercisable following termination of an Optionee's status as a Service Provider from the periods set forth in Sections 9(b), 9(c) and 9(d) above or in the option agreement to such greater time as the Administrator shall deem appropriate, provided that in no event shall such Option be exercisable later than the date of expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the option agreement. (f) Buyout Provisions. The Administrator may at any time offer to buy out for a payment in cash or Shares, an Option previously granted, based on such terms and conditions as the Administrator shall establish and communicate to the Optionee at the time that such offer is made. 10. Non-Transferability of Options. Unless otherwise provided by the Administrator, Options are not transferable in any manner otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution, and may be exercised during the lifetime of the Optionee only by the Optionee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Optionee may, by delivering written notice to the Company, in a form satisfactory to the Company, designate a beneficiary who, in the event of the death of the Optionee, shall thereafter be entitled to exercise the Option. The Administrator may in its discretion grant transferable Nonstatutory Stock Options pursuant to option agreements specifying (i) the manner in which such Nonstatutory Stock Options are transferable and (ii) that any such transfer shall be subject to Applicable Laws. 11. Taxes. (a) As a condition of the exercise of an Option granted under the Plan, the Optionee (or in the case of the Optionee's death, the person exercising the Option) shall make such arrangements as the Administrator may require for the satisfaction of any applicable federal, state, local or foreign withholding tax obligations and/or social charges ("Tax-Related Items") that may arise in connection with the grant, vesting or exercise of the Option and the issuance of Shares ("Taxable Event"). The Company shall not be required to issue any Shares under the Plan until such obligations are satisfied. K-7 (b) In the case of an Optionee who is an Employee and in the absence of any other arrangement, the Employee shall be deemed to have directed the Company to withhold or collect from his or her compensation an amount sufficient to satisfy such obligations regarding Tax-Related Items from the next payroll payment otherwise payable after the date of a Taxable Event. (c) In the case of an Optionee other than an Employee (or in the case of an Employee where the next payroll payment is not sufficient to satisfy such obligations regarding Tax-Related Items, with respect to any remaining tax obligations), in the absence of any other arrangement and to the extent permitted under the Applicable Laws, the Optionee shall be deemed to have elected to have the Company withhold from the Shares to be issued upon exercise of the Option that number of Shares having a Fair Market Value determined as of the applicable Tax Date (as defined below) equal to the minimum statutory withholding rates for U.S. federal, state and foreign tax purposes, including payroll taxes, applicable to the Taxable Event. For purposes of this Section 11, the Fair Market Value of the Shares to be withheld shall be determined on the date that the amount of tax to be withheld is to be determined under the Applicable Laws (the "Tax Date"). (d) If permitted by the Administrator, in its discretion, an Optionee may satisfy his or her obligations regarding Tax-Related Items by surrendering to the Company Shares that have a Fair Market Value determined as of the applicable Tax Date equal to the minimum statutory withholding rates for U.S. federal, state and foreign tax purposes, including payroll taxes, applicable to the Taxable Event. (e) Any election or deemed election by an Optionee to have Shares withheld to satisfy obligations regarding Tax-Related Items under Section 11(c) or (d) above shall be irrevocable as to the particular Shares as to which the election is made and shall be subject to the consent or disapproval of the Administrator. Any election by an Optionee under Section 11(d) above must be made on or prior to the applicable Tax Date. (f) In the event an election to have Shares withheld is made by an Optionee and the Tax Date is deferred under Section 83 of the Code because no election is filed under Section 83(b) of the Code, the Company shall have the authority to establish an escrow to hold the shares until the latest applicable Tax Date. 12. Provisions of Stock Awards Other Than Options. (a) Restricted Stock Bonus Awards. Each restricted stock bonus agreement shall be in such form and shall contain such terms and conditions as the Board shall deem appropriate. The terms and conditions of restricted stock bonus agreements may change from time to time, and the terms and conditions of separate restricted stock bonus agreements need not be identical, but each restricted stock bonus agreement shall include (through incorporation of provisions hereof by reference in the agreement or otherwise) the substance of each of the following provisions: (i) Consideration. A restricted stock bonus may be awarded in consideration for past services actually rendered to the Company or an Affiliate for its benefit. (ii) Vesting. Shares awarded under the restricted stock bonus agreement may, but need not, be subject to a share reacquisition option in favor of the Company in accordance with a vesting schedule to be determined by the Board. (iii) Termination of Participant's Service. In the event a Participant's service terminates, the Company may reacquire any or all of the Shares held by the Participant which have not vested as of the date of termination under the terms of the restricted stock bonus agreement. (iv) Transferability. Rights to acquire Shares under the restricted stock bonus agreement shall be transferable by the Participant only upon such terms and conditions as are set forth in the restricted stock bonus agreement, as the Board shall determine in its discretion, so long as Shares awarded under the restricted stock bonus agreement remain subject to the terms of the restricted stock bonus agreement. K-8 (b) Restricted Stock Purchase Awards. Each restricted stock purchase agreement shall be in such form and shall contain such terms and conditions as the Board shall deem appropriate. The terms and conditions of restricted stock purchase agreements may change from time to time, and the terms and conditions of separate restricted stock purchase agreements need not be identical, but each restricted stock purchase agreement shall include (through incorporation of provisions hereof by reference in the agreement or otherwise) the substance of each of the following provisions: (i) Purchase Price. The purchase price under each restricted stock purchase agreement shall be such amount as the Board shall determine and designate in such restricted stock purchase agreement. (ii) Consideration. The purchase price of Shares acquired pursuant to the restricted stock purchase agreement shall be paid either: (i) in cash at the time of purchase; (ii) at the discretion of the Board, according to a deferred payment or other similar arrangement with the Participant; or (iii) in any other form of legal consideration that may be acceptable to the Board in its discretion. (iii) Vesting. Shares awarded under the restricted stock purchase agreement may, but need not, be subject to a share repurchase option in favor of the Company in accordance with a vesting schedule to be determined by the Board. (iv) Termination of Participant's Service. In the event a Participant's service terminates, the Company may repurchase or otherwise reacquire any or all of the Shares held by the Participant which have not vested as of the date of termination under the terms of the restricted stock purchase agreement. (v) Transferability. Rights to acquire Shares under the restricted stock purchase agreement shall be transferable by the Participant only upon such terms and conditions as are set forth in the restricted stock purchase agreement, as the Board shall determine in its discretion, so long as Shares awarded under the restricted stock bonus agreement remain subject to the terms of the restricted stock purchase agreement. 13. Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization, Dissolution or Liquidation, or Merger or Asset Sale. (a) Changes in Capitalization. Subject to any required action by the stockholders of the Company, the number of Shares covered by each outstanding Option and the number of shares of Common Stock which have been authorized for issuance under the Plan but as to which no Options have yet been granted or which have been returned to the Plan upon cancellation or expiration of an Option, as well as the price per share of Common Stock covered by each such outstanding Option, shall be proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number, or other changes in the price or other characteristics, of issued shares of Common Stock resulting from a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, spinoff combination or reclassification of the Common Stock, or any other increase or decrease in the number, or other change in the price or characteristic, of issued shares of Common Stock effected without receipt of consideration by the Company; provided, however, that conversion of any convertible securities of the Company shall not be deemed to have been "effected without receipt of consideration." Such adjustment shall be made by the Board, whose determination in that respect shall be final, binding and conclusive. Except as expressly provided herein, no issuance by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number or price of shares of Common Stock subject to an Option. (b) Dissolution or Liquidation. In the event of the proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Board shall notify the Optionee at least fifteen (15) days prior to such proposed action. To the extent it has not been previously exercised, the Option will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed action. K-9 (c) Merger or Sale of Assets. In the event of a proposed merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation or a sale, exchange, lease or similar transfer of all or substantially all of the Company's assets, each outstanding Option shall be assumed or an equivalent option shall be substituted by such successor corporation or a parent or subsidiary of such successor corporation, unless the successor corporation does not agree to assume the Option or to substitute an equivalent option, in which case such Option shall terminate upon the consummation of the merger or sale of assets. (d) Certain Distributions. In the event of any distribution to the Company's stockholders of securities of any other entity or other assets (other than dividends payable in cash or stock of the Company) without receipt of consideration by the Company, the Administrator may, in its discretion, appropriately adjust the price per share of Common Stock covered by each outstanding Option to reflect the effect of such distribution. 14. Time of Granting Stock Awards. The date of grant of a Stock Award shall, for all purposes, be the date on which the Administrator makes the determination granting such Stock Award, or such other date as is determined by the Board. Notice of the determination shall be given to each Service Provider to whom a Stock Award is so granted within a reasonable time after the date of such grant. 15. Amendment and Termination of the Plan. (a) Amendment and Termination. Except to the extent prohibited by Applicable Laws and unless otherwise expressly provided in a Stock Award agreement or in the Plan, the Board may at any time amend, alter, suspend or discontinue the Plan, but no amendment, alteration, suspension or discontinuance or termination (other than an adjustment made pursuant to Section 13 above) shall be made which would impair the rights of any Participant under any grant theretofore made, without his or her consent. (b) Effect of Amendment or Termination. Any such amendment or termination of the Plan shall not affect Options already granted and such Options shall remain in full force and effect as if this Plan had not been amended or terminated, unless mutually agreed otherwise between the Optionee and the Board, which agreement must be in writing and signed by the Optionee and the Company. 16. Amendment of Stock Awards. The Board at any time, and from time to time, may amend the terms of any one or more Stock Awards; provided, however, that the affected Participant's rights under any Stock Award shall not be materially impaired and his or her obligations under any Stock Award shall not be materially increased, by any such amendments unless (i) the Company requests the consent of the Participant and (ii) the Participant consents in writing. 17. Conditions Upon Issuance of Shares. Shares 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 pursuant thereto shall comply with all relevant provisions of Applicable Laws, including, without limitation, the Securities Act of 1933, the Exchange Act, and the requirements of any stock exchange upon which the Shares may then be listed, and shall be further subject to the approval of counsel for the Company with respect to such compliance. The inability of the Company to obtain authority from any regulatory body having jurisdiction, which authority is deemed by the Company's counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any Shares hereunder, shall relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to issue or sell such Shares as to which such requisite authority shall not have been obtained. As a condition to the exercise of an Option, the Company may require the person exercising such Option to represent and warrant at the time of any such exercise that the 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. 18. Reservation of Shares. The Company, during the term of this Plan, will at all times reserve and keep available such number of Shares as shall be sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the Plan. 19. Agreements. Options shall be evidenced by written agreements in such form as the Board shall approve from time to time. K-10 20. Code References. All references to any federal statute, rule, regulation or form are to the federal statute, rule, regulation or form in effect at the time or to any successor to such federal statute, rule, regulation or form. 21. Choice of Law. The law of the State of Delaware shall govern all questions concerning the construction, validity and interpretation of this Plan, without regard to such state's conflict of laws rules.

The exercise price of each Option shall be one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of the stock subject to the Option on the date the Option is granted. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Option may be granted with an exercise price lower than that set forth in the preceding sentence if such Option is granted pursuant to an assumption or substitution for another option in a manner satisfying the provisions of Section 424(a) of the Code. (c) Consideration. The purchase price of stock acquired pursuant to an Option may be paid in cash or by check at the time the Option is exercised or, to the extent permitted by the Option Agreement and applicable statutes and regulations, (i) by delivery to the Company of other Common Stock, (ii) according to a deferred payment or other arrangement or (iii) by any other form of legal consideration that may be acceptable to the Board and provided in the Option Agreement. In the case of any deferred payment arrangement (i) interest shall be compounded at least annually and shall be charged at the minimum rate of interest necessary to avoid the treatment as interest, under any applicable provisions of the Code, of any amounts other than amounts stated to be interest under the deferred payment arrangement and (ii) at any time the Company is incorporated in Delaware, payment of the Common Stock's par value shall not be made by deferred payment.

(e) Vesting. Options shall be fully vested and exercisable upon receipt. (f) Termination of Continuous Service. In the event an Optionholder's Continuous Service terminates (other than upon the Optionholder's death or Disability), the Optionholder may exercise his or her Option but only within such period of time ending on the earlier of (i) the date three (3) months following the termination of the Optionholder's Continuous Service, or (ii) the expiration of the term of the Option as set forth in the Option Agreement. If, after termination, the Optionholder does not exercise his or her Option within the time specified in the Option Agreement, the Option shall terminate. (g) Extension of Termination Date. If the exercise of the Option following the termination of the Optionholder's Continuous Service (other than upon the Optionholder's death or Disability) would be prohibited at any time solely because the issuance of shares would violate the registration requirements under the Securities Act, then the Option shall terminate on the earlier of (i) the expiration of the term of the Option set forth in Subsection 7(a) or (ii) the expiration of a period of three (3) months after the termination of the Optionholder's Continuous Service during which the exercise of the Option would not be in violation of such registration requirements. L-4 (h) Disability of Optionholder. In the event an Optionholder's Continuous Service terminates as a result of the Optionholder's Disability, the Optionholder may exercise his or her Option (to the extent that the Optionholder was entitled to exercise it as of the date of termination), but only within such period of time ending on the earlier of (i) the date twelve (12) months following such termination or (ii) the expiration of the term of the Option as set forth in the Option Agreement. If, after termination, the Optionholder does not exercise his or her Option within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate. (i) Death of Optionholder. In the event (i) an Optionholder's Continuous Service terminates as a result of the Optionholder's death or (ii) the Optionholder dies within the three-month period after the termination of the Optionholder's Continuous Service for a reason other than death, then the Option may be exercised by the Optionholder's estate, by a person who acquired the right to exercise the Option by bequest or inheritance or by a person designated to exercise the Option upon the Optionholder's death, but only within the period ending on the earlier of (1) the date eighteen (18) months following the date of death or (2) the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Option Agreement. If, after death, the Option is not exercised within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate. 8. COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY. (a) Availability of Shares. During the terms of the Options, the Company shall keep available at all times the number of shares of Common Stock required to satisfy such Options. (b) Securities Law Compliance. The Company shall seek to obtain from each regulatory commission or agency having jurisdiction over the Plan such authority as may be required to grant Options and to issue and sell shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Options; provided, however, that this undertaking shall not require the Company to register under the Securities Act the Plan, any Option or any stock issued or issuable pursuant to any such Option. If, after reasonable efforts, the Company is unable to obtain from any such regulatory commission or agency the authority which counsel for the Company deems necessary for the lawful issuance and sale of stock under the Plan, the Company shall be relieved from any liability for failure to issue and sell stock upon exercise of such Options unless and until such authority is obtained. 9. USE OF PROCEEDS FROM STOCK. Proceeds from the sale of stock pursuant to Options shall constitute general funds of the Company. 10. MISCELLANEOUS. (a) Stockholder Rights. No Optionholder shall be deemed to be the holder of, or to have any of the rights of a holder with respect to, any shares subject to such Option unless and until such Optionholder has satisfied all requirements for exercise of the Option pursuant to its terms. (b) No Service Rights. Nothing in the Plan or any instrument executed or Option granted pursuant thereto shall confer upon any Optionholder any right to continue to serve the Company as a Non-Employee Director or shall affect the right of the Company or an Affiliate to terminate (i) the employment of an Employee with or without notice and with or without cause, (ii) the service of a Consultant pursuant to the terms of such Consultant's agreement with the Company or an Affiliate or (iii) the service of a Director pursuant to the Bylaws of the Company or an Affiliate, and any applicable provisions of the corporate law of the state in which the Company or the Affiliate is incorporated, as the case may be. (c) Investment Assurances. The Company may require an Optionholder, as a condition of exercising or acquiring stock under any Option, (i) to give written assurances satisfactory to the Company as to the Optionholder's knowledge and experience in financial and business matters and/or to employ a purchaser representative reasonably satisfactory to the Company who is knowledgeable and experienced in financial and business matters and that he or she is capable of evaluating, alone or together with the purchaser representative, the merits and risks of exercising the Option; and (ii) to give written assurances satisfactory to the Company stating that the Optionholder is acquiring the stock subject to the Option for the Optionholder's own account and not with any present intention of selling or otherwise distributing the stock. The foregoing requirements, and any assurances L-5 given pursuant to such requirements, shall be inoperative if (A) the issuance of the shares upon the exercise or acquisition of stock under the Option has been registered under a then currently effective registration statement under the Securities Act or (B) as to any particular requirement, a determination is made by counsel for the Company that such requirement need not be met in the circumstances under the then applicable securities laws. The Company may, upon advice of counsel to the Company, place legends on stock certificates issued under the Plan as such counsel deems necessary or appropriate in order to comply with applicable securities laws, including, but not limited to, legends restricting the transfer of the stock. (d) Withholding Obligations. The Optionholder may satisfy any federal, state or local tax withholding obligation relating to the exercise or acquisition of stock under an Option by any of the following means (in addition to the Company's right to withhold from any compensation paid to the Optionholder by the Company) or by a combination of such means: (i) tendering a cash payment; (ii) authorizing the Company to withhold shares from the shares of the Common Stock otherwise issuable to the Optionholder as a result of the exercise or acquisition of stock under the Option; or (iii) delivering to the Company owned and unencumbered shares of the Common Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be authorized to withhold shares of Common Stock at rates in excess of the minimum statutory withholding rates for federal and state tax purposes, including payroll taxes. 11. ADJUSTMENTS UPON CHANGES IN STOCK. (a) Capitalization Adjustments. If any change is made in the stock subject to the Plan, or subject to any Option, without the receipt of consideration by the Company (through merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization, reincorporation, stock dividend, dividend in property other than cash, stock split, liquidating dividend, combination of shares, exchange of shares, change in corporate structure or other transaction not involving the receipt of consideration by the Company), the Plan will be appropriately adjusted in the class(es) and maximum number of securities subject both to the Plan pursuant to Subsection 4(a) and to the nondiscretionary Options specified in Section 5, and the outstanding Options will be appropriately adjusted in the class(es) and number of securities and price per share of stock subject to such outstanding Options. The Board shall make such adjustments, and its determination shall be final, binding and conclusive. (The conversion of any convertible securities of the Company shall not be treated as a transaction "without receipt of consideration" by the Company.) (b) Dissolution or Liquidation. In the event of a dissolution or liquidation of the Company, then all outstanding Options shall terminate immediately prior to such event. (c) Change in Control. In the event of (i) a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, (ii) a merger or consolidation in which the Company is not the surviving corporation or (iii) a reverse merger in which the Company is the surviving corporation but the shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately preceding the merger are converted by virtue of the merger into other property, whether in the form of securities, cash or otherwise, then any surviving corporation or acquiring corporation may assume any Options outstanding under the Plan or may substitute similar Options (including an option to acquire the same consideration paid to the stockholders in the transaction described in this Subsection 11(c)) for those outstanding under the Plan. 12. AMENDMENT OF THE PLAN AND OPTIONS. (a) Amendment of Plan. The Board at any time, and from time to time, may amend the Plan.

L-6 (d) Amendment of Options. The Board at any time, and from time to time, may amend the terms of any one or more Options; provided, however, that the rights under any Option shall not be impaired by any such amendment unless (i) the Company requests the consent of the Optionholder and (ii) the Optionholder consents in writing. 13. TERMINATION OR SUSPENSION OF THE PLAN. (a) Plan Term. The Board may suspend or terminate the Plan at any time. Unless sooner terminated, the Plan shall terminate on the day before the tenth (10th) anniversary of the date the Plan is adopted by the Board or approved by the stockholders of the Company, whichever is earlier.

The purchase price of Common Stock acquired pursuant to an Option shall be paid, to the extent permitted by applicable statutes and regulations, either (i) in cash at the time the Option is exercised or (ii) at the discretion of the Board at the time of the grant of the Option (or subsequently in the case of a Nonstatutory Stock Option) (1) by delivery to the Company of other Common Stock, (2) according to a deferred payment or other similar arrangement with the Optionholder (including an arrangement involving a promissory note issued by the Optionholder) or (3) in any other form of legal consideration that may be acceptable to the Board; provided, however, that at any time that the Company is incorporated in Delaware, payment of the Common Stock's "par value," as defined in the Delaware General Corporation Law, shall not be made by deferred payment. In the case of any deferred payment arrangement, interest shall be compounded at least annually and shall be charged at the minimum rate of interest necessary to avoid the treatment as interest, under any applicable provisions of the Code, of any amounts other than amounts stated to be interest under the deferred payment arrangement. (e) Transferability of an Incentive Stock Option. An Incentive Stock Option shall not be transferable except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution and shall be exercisable during the lifetime of the Optionholder only by the Optionholder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Optionholder may, by delivering written notice to the Company, in a form satisfactory to the Company, designate a third party who, in the event of the death of the Optionholder, shall thereafter be entitled to exercise the Option. (f) Transferability of a Nonstatutory Stock Option. A Nonstatutory Stock Option granted prior to the Listing Date shall not be transferable except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution and, to the extent provided in the Option Agreement, to such further extent as permitted by Section 260.140.41(d) of Title 10 of the California Code of Regulations at the time of the grant of the Option, and shall be exercisable during the lifetime of the Optionholder only by the Optionholder. A Nonstatutory Stock Option granted on or after the Listing Date shall be transferable to the extent provided in the Option Agreement. If the Nonstatutory Stock Option does not provide for transferability, then the Nonstatutory Stock Option shall not be transferable except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution and shall be exercisable during the lifetime of the Optionholder only by the Optionholder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Optionholder may, by delivering written notice to the Company, in a form satisfactory to the Company, designate a third party who, in the event of the death of the Optionholder, shall thereafter be entitled to exercise the Option. (g) Vesting Generally. The total number of shares of Common Stock subject to an Option may, but need not, vest and therefore become exercisable in periodic installments that may, but need not, be equal. The Option may be subject to such other terms and conditions on the time or times when it may be exercised (which may be based on performance or other criteria) as the Board may deem appropriate. The vesting provisions of individual Options may vary. The provisions of this subsection 6(g) are subject to any Option provisions governing the minimum number of shares of Common Stock as to which an Option may be exercised. (h) Minimum Vesting Prior to the Listing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing subsection 6(g), to the extent that the following restrictions on vesting are required by Section 260.140.41(f) of Title 10 of the California Code of Regulations at the time of the grant of the Option, then: (i) Options granted prior to the Listing Date to an Employee who is not an Officer, Director or Consultant shall provide for vesting of the total number of shares of Common Stock at a rate of at least twenty percent (20%) per year over five (5) years from the date the Option was granted, subject to reasonable conditions such as continued employment; and M-7 (ii) Options granted prior to the Listing Date to Officers, Directors or Consultants may be made fully exercisable, subject to reasonable conditions such as continued employment, at any time or during any period established by the Company. (i) Termination of Continuous Service. In the event an Optionholder's Continuous Service terminates (other than upon the Optionholder's death or Disability or for Cause), the Optionholder may exercise his or her Option (to the extent that the Optionholder was entitled to exercise such Option as of the date of termination) but only within such period of time ending on the earlier of (i) the date three (3) months following the termination of the Optionholder's Continuous Service (or such longer or shorter period specified in the Option Agreement, which period shall not be less than thirty (30) days for Options granted prior to the Listing Date unless such termination is for cause), or (ii) the expiration of the term of the Option as set forth in the Option Agreement. If, after termination, the Optionholder does not exercise his or her Option within the time specified in the Option Agreement, the Option shall terminate. In the event an Optionholder's Continuous Service terminates for Cause, then his or her Option shall terminate immediately upon such event. (j) Extension of Termination Date. An Optionholder's Option Agreement may also provide that if the exercise of the Option following the termination of the Optionholder's Continuous Service (other than upon the Optionholder's death or Disability or for Cause) would be prohibited at any time solely because the issuance of shares of Common Stock would violate the registration requirements under the Securities Act, then the Option shall terminate on the earlier of (i) the expiration of the term of the Option set forth in subsection 6(a) or (ii) the expiration of a period of three (3) months after the termination of the Optionholder's Continuous Service during which the exercise of the Option would not be in violation of such registration requirements. (k) Disability of Optionholder. In the event that an Optionholder's Continuous Service terminates as a result of the Optionholder's Disability, the Optionholder may exercise his or her Option (to the extent that the Optionholder was entitled to exercise such Option as of the date of termination), but only within such period of time ending on the earlier of (i) the date twelve (12) months following such termination (or such longer or shorter period specified in the Option Agreement, which period shall not be less than six (6) months for Options granted prior to the Listing Date) or (ii) the expiration of the term of the Option as set forth in the Option Agreement. If, after termination, the Optionholder does not exercise his or her Option within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate. (l) Death of Optionholder. In the event (i) an Optionholder's Continuous Service terminates as a result of the Optionholder's death or (ii) the Optionholder dies within the period (if any) specified in the Option Agreement after the termination of the Optionholder's Continuous Service for a reason other than death, then the Option may be exercised (to the extent the Optionholder was entitled to exercise such Option as of the date of death) by the Optionholder's estate, by a person who acquired the right to exercise the Option by bequest or inheritance or by a person designated to exercise the option upon the Optionholder's death pursuant to subsection 6(e) or 6(f), but only within the period ending on the earlier of (1) the date eighteen (18) months following the date of death (or such longer or shorter period specified in the Option Agreement, which period shall not be less than six (6) months for Options granted prior to the Listing Date) or (2) the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Option Agreement. If, after death, the Option is not exercised within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate. (m) Early Exercise. The Option may, but need not, include a provision whereby the Optionholder may elect at any time before the Optionholder's Continuous Service terminates to exercise the Option as to any part or all of the shares of Common Stock subject to the Option prior to the full vesting of the Option. Subject to the "Repurchase Limitation" in subsection 10(h), any unvested shares of Common Stock so purchased may be subject to a repurchase option in favor of the Company or to any other restriction the Board determines to be appropriate. (n) Right of Repurchase. Subject to the "Repurchase Limitation" in subsection 10(h), the Option may, but need not, include a provision whereby the Company may elect, prior to the Listing Date, to repurchase all or any part of the vested shares of Common Stock acquired by the Optionholder pursuant to the exercise of the Option. M-8 (o) Right of First Refusal. The Option may, but need not, include a provision whereby the Company may elect, prior to the Listing Date, to exercise a right of first refusal following receipt of notice from the Optionholder of the intent to transfer all or any part of the shares of Common Stock received upon the exercise of the Option. Except as expressly provided in this subsection 6(o), such right of first refusal shall otherwise comply with any applicable provisions of the Bylaws of the Company. (p) Re-Load Options. Without in any way limiting the authority of the Board to make or not to make grants of Options hereunder, the Board shall have the authority (but not an obligation) to include as part of any Option Agreement a provision entitling the Optionholder to a further Option (a "Re-Load Option") in the event the Optionholder exercises the Option evidenced by the Option Agreement, in whole or in part, by surrendering other shares of Common Stock in accordance with this Plan and the terms and conditions of the Option Agreement. Any such Re-Load Option shall (i) provide for a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Common Stock surrendered as part or all of the exercise price of such Option; (ii) have an expiration date which is the same as the expiration date of the Option the exercise of which gave rise to such Re-Load Option; and (iii) have an exercise price which is equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock subject to the Re-Load Option on the date of exercise of the original Option. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Re-Load Option shall be subject to the same exercise price and term provisions heretofore described for Options under the Plan. Any such Re-Load Option may be an Incentive Stock Option or a Nonstatutory Stock Option, as the Board may designate at the time of the grant of the original Option; provided, however, that the designation of any Re-Load Option as an Incentive Stock Option shall be subject to the one hundred thousand dollar ($100,000) annual limitation on the exercisability of Incentive Stock Options described in subsection 10(d) and in Section 422(d) of the Code. There shall be no Re-Load Options on a Re-Load Option. Any such Re-Load Option shall be subject to the availability of sufficient shares of Common Stock under subsection 4(a) and the "Section 162(m) Limitation" on the grants of Options under subsection 5(c) and shall be subject to such other terms and conditions as the Board may determine which are not inconsistent with the express provisions of the Plan regarding the terms of Options. 7. PROVISIONS OF STOCK AWARDS OTHER THAN OPTIONS. (a) Stock Bonus Awards. Each stock bonus agreement shall be in such form and shall contain such terms and conditions as the Board shall deem appropriate. The terms and conditions of stock bonus agreements may change from time to time, and the terms and conditions of separate stock bonus agreements need not be identical, but each stock bonus agreement shall include (through incorporation of provisions hereof by reference in the agreement or otherwise) the substance of each of the following provisions: (i) Consideration. A stock bonus may be awarded in consideration for past services actually rendered to the Company or an Affiliate for its benefit. (ii) Vesting. Subject to the "Repurchase Limitation" in subsection 10(h), shares of Common Stock awarded under the stock bonus agreement may, but need not, be subject to a share repurchase option in favor of the Company in accordance with a vesting schedule to be determined by the Board. (iii) Termination of Participant's Continuous Service. Subject to the "Repurchase Limitation" in subsection 10(h), in the event a Participant's Continuous Service terminates, the Company may reacquire any or all of the shares of Common Stock held by the Participant which have not vested as of the date of termination under the terms of the stock bonus agreement. (iv) Transferability. For a stock bonus award made before the Listing Date, rights to acquire shares of Common Stock under the stock bonus agreement shall not be transferable except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution and shall be exercisable during the lifetime of the Participant only by the Participant. For a stock bonus award made on or after the Listing Date, rights to acquire shares of Common Stock under the stock bonus agreement shall be transferable by the Participant only upon such terms and conditions as are set forth in the stock bonus agreement, as the Board shall determine in its M-9 discretion, so long as Common Stock awarded under the stock bonus agreement remains subject to the terms of the stock bonus agreement. (b) Restricted Stock Awards. Each restricted stock purchase agreement shall be in such form and shall contain such terms and conditions as the Board shall deem appropriate. The terms and conditions of the restricted stock purchase agreements may change from time to time, and the terms and conditions of separate restricted stock purchase agreements need not be identical, but each restricted stock purchase agreement shall include (through incorporation of provisions hereof by reference in the agreement or otherwise) the substance of each of the following provisions: (i) Purchase Price. Subject to the provisions of subsection 5(b) regarding Ten Percent Shareholders, the purchase price under each restricted stock purchase agreement shall be such amount as the Board shall determine and designate in such restricted stock purchase agreement. For restricted stock awards made prior to the Listing Date, the purchase price shall not be less than eighty-five percent (85%) of the Common Stock's Fair Market Value on the date such award is made or at the time the purchase is consummated. For restricted stock awards made on or after the Listing Date, the purchase price shall not be less than eighty-five percent (85%) of the Common Stock's Fair Market Value on the date such award is made or at the time the purchase is consummated. (ii) Consideration. The purchase price of Common Stock acquired pursuant to the restricted stock purchase agreement shall be paid either: (i) in cash at the time of purchase; (ii) at the discretion of the Board, according to a deferred payment or other similar arrangement with the Participant; or (iii) in any other form of legal consideration that may be acceptable to the Board in its discretion; provided, however, that at any time that the Company is incorporated in Delaware, then payment of the Common Stock's "par value," as defined in the Delaware General Corporation Law, shall not be made by deferred payment. (iii) Vesting. Subject to the "Repurchase Limitation" in subsection 10(h), shares of Common Stock acquired under the restricted stock purchase agreement may, but need not, be subject to a share repurchase option in favor of the Company in accordance with a vesting schedule to be determined by the Board. (iv) Termination of Participant's Continuous Service. Subject to the "Repurchase Limitation" in subsection 10(h), in the event a Participant's Continuous Service terminates, the Company may repurchase or otherwise reacquire any or all of the shares of Common Stock held by the Participant which have not vested as of the date of termination under the terms of the restricted stock purchase agreement. (v) Transferability. For a restricted stock award made before the Listing Date, rights to acquire shares of Common Stock under the restricted stock purchase agreement shall not be transferable except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution and shall be exercisable during the lifetime of the Participant only by the Participant. For a restricted stock award made on or after the Listing Date, rights to acquire shares of Common Stock under the restricted stock purchase agreement shall be transferable by the Participant only upon such terms and conditions as are set forth in the restricted stock purchase agreement, as the Board shall determine in its discretion, so long as Common Stock awarded under the restricted stock purchase agreement remains subject to the terms of the restricted stock purchase agreement. 8. COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY. (a) Availability of Shares. During the terms of the Stock Awards, the Company shall keep available at all times the number of shares of Common Stock required to satisfy such Stock Awards. (b) Securities Law Compliance. The Company shall seek to obtain from each regulatory commission or agency having jurisdiction over the Plan such authority as may be required to grant Stock Awards M-10 and to issue and sell shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Stock Awards; provided, however, that this undertaking shall not require the Company to register under the Securities Act the Plan, any Stock Award or any Common Stock issued or issuable pursuant to any such Stock Award. If, after reasonable efforts, the Company is unable to obtain from any such regulatory commission or agency the authority which counsel for the Company deems necessary for the lawful issuance and sale of Common Stock under the Plan, the Company shall be relieved from any liability for failure to issue and sell Common Stock upon exercise of such Stock Awards unless and until such authority is obtained. 9. USE OF PROCEEDS FROM STOCK. Proceeds from the sale of Common Stock pursuant to Stock Awards shall constitute general funds of the Company. 10. MISCELLANEOUS. (a) Acceleration of Exercisability and Vesting. The Board shall have the power to accelerate the time at which a Stock Award may first be exercised or the time during which a Stock Award or any part thereof will vest in accordance with the Plan, notwithstanding the provisions in the Stock Award stating the time at which it may first be exercised or the time during which it will vest. (b) Shareholder Rights. No Participant shall be deemed to be the holder of, or to have any of the rights of a holder with respect to, any shares of Common Stock subject to such Stock Award unless and until such Participant has satisfied all requirements for exercise of the Stock Award pursuant to its terms. (c) No Employment or other Service Rights. Nothing in the Plan or any instrument executed or Stock Award granted pursuant thereto shall confer upon any Participant any right to continue to serve the Company or an Affiliate in the capacity in effect at the time the Stock Award was granted or shall affect the right of the Company or an Affiliate to terminate (i) the employment of an Employee with or without notice and with or without cause, (ii) the service of a Consultant pursuant to the terms of such Consultant's agreement with the Company or an Affiliate or (iii) the service of a Director pursuant to the Bylaws of the Company or an Affiliate, and any applicable provisions of the corporate law of the state in which the Company or the Affiliate is incorporated, as the case may be. (d) Incentive Stock Option $100,000 Limitation. To the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined at the time of grant) of Common Stock with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by any Optionholder during any calendar year (under all plans of the Company and its Affiliates) exceeds one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000), the Options or portions thereof which exceed such limit (according to the order in which they were granted) shall be treated as Nonstatutory Stock Options. (e) Investment Assurances. The Company may require a Participant, as a condition of exercising or acquiring Common Stock under any Stock Award, (i) to give written assurances satisfactory to the Company as to the Participant's knowledge and experience in financial and business matters and/or to employ a purchaser representative reasonably satisfactory to the Company who is knowledgeable and experienced in financial and business matters and that he or she is capable of evaluating, alone or together with the purchaser representative, the merits and risks of exercising the Stock Award; and (ii) to give written assurances satisfactory to the Company stating that the Participant is acquiring Common Stock subject to the Stock Award for the Participant's own account and not with any present intention of selling or otherwise distributing the Common Stock. The foregoing requirements, and any assurances given pursuant to such requirements, shall be inoperative if (iii) the issuance of the shares of Common Stock upon the exercise or acquisition of Common Stock under the Stock Award has been registered under a then currently effective registration statement under the Securities Act or (iv) as to any particular requirement, a determination is made by counsel for the Company that such requirement need not be met in the circumstances under the then applicable securities laws. The Company may, upon advice of counsel to the Company, place legends on stock certificates issued under the Plan as such counsel deems necessary or appropriate in order to comply with applicable securities laws, including, but not limited to, legends restricting the transfer of the Common Stock. M-11 (f) Withholding Obligations. To the extent provided by the terms of a Stock Award Agreement, the Participant may satisfy any federal, state or local tax withholding obligation relating to the exercise or acquisition of Common Stock under a Stock Award by any of the following means (in addition to the Company's right to withhold from any compensation paid to the Participant by the Company) or by a combination of such means: (i) tendering a cash payment; (ii) authorizing the Company to withhold shares of Common Stock from the shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable to the Participant as a result of the exercise or acquisition of Common Stock under the Stock Award in an amount not to exceed the minimum amount of tax required to be withheld by law; or (iii) delivering to the Company owned and unencumbered shares of Common Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be authorized to withhold shares of Common Stock at rates in excess of the minimum statutory withholding rates for federal and state tax purposes, including payroll taxes. (g) Information Obligation. Prior to the Listing Date, to the extent required by Section 260.140.46 of Title 10 of the California Code of Regulations, the Company shall deliver financial statements to Participants at least annually. This subsection 10(g) shall not apply to key Employees whose duties in connection with the Company assure them access to equivalent information. (h) Repurchase Limitation. The terms of any repurchase option shall be specified in the Stock Award and may be either at Fair Market Value at the time of repurchase or at not less than the original purchase price. To the extent required by Section 260.140.41 and Section 260.140.42 of Title 10 of the California Code of Regulations at the time a Stock Award is made, any repurchase option contained in a Stock Award granted prior to the Listing Date to a person who is not an Officer, Director or Consultant shall be upon the terms described below: (i) Fair Market Value. If the repurchase option gives the Company the right to repurchase the shares of Common Stock upon termination of employment at not less than the Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock to be purchased on the date of termination of Continuous Service, then (i) the right to repurchase shall be exercised for cash or cancellation of purchase money indebtedness for the shares of Common Stock within ninety (90) days of termination of Continuous Service (or in the case of shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise of Stock Awards after such date of termination, within ninety (90) days after the date of the exercise) or such longer period as may be agreed to by the Company and the Participant (for example, for purposes of satisfying the requirements of Section 1202(c)(3) of the Code regarding "qualified small business stock") and (ii) the right terminates when the shares of Common Stock become publicly traded. (ii) Original Purchase Price. If the repurchase option gives the Company the right to repurchase the shares of Common Stock upon termination of Continuous Service at the original purchase price, then (i) the right to repurchase at the original purchase price shall lapse at the rate of at least twenty percent (20%) of the shares of Common Stock per year over five (5) years from the date the Stock Award is granted (without respect to the date the Stock Award was exercised or became exercisable) and (ii) the right to repurchase shall be exercised for cash or cancellation of purchase money indebtedness for the shares of Common Stock within ninety (90) days of termination of Continuous Service (or in the case of shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise of Options after such date of termination, within ninety (90) days after the date of the exercise) or such longer period as may be agreed to by the Company and the Participant (for example, for purposes of satisfying the requirements of Section 1202(c)(3) of the Code regarding "qualified small business stock"). 11. ADJUSTMENTS UPON CHANGES IN STOCK. (a) Capitalization Adjustments. If any change is made in the Common Stock subject to the Plan, or subject to any Stock Award, without the receipt of consideration by the Company (through merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization, reincorporation, stock dividend, dividend in property other than cash, stock split, liquidating dividend, combination of shares, exchange of shares, change in corporate structure or other transaction not involving the receipt of consideration by the Company), the Plan will be appropriately adjusted in the class(es) and maximum number of securities subject to the Plan pursuant to subsection 4(a) and the maximum number of securities subject to award to any person pursuant to subsection 5(c), and the outstanding Stock Awards will be appropriately adjusted in the class(es) and number of securities and price per share of Common Stock subject M-12 to such outstanding Stock Awards. The Board shall make such adjustments, and its determination shall be final, binding and conclusive. (The conversion of any convertible securities of the Company shall not be treated as a transaction "without receipt of consideration" by the Company.) (b) Dissolution or Liquidation. In the event of a dissolution or liquidation of the Company, then all outstanding Stock Awards shall terminate immediately prior to such event. (c) Certain Changes in Control. In the event of (i) a sale, lease or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, (ii) a merger or consolidation in which the Company is not the surviving corporation or (iii) a reverse merger in which the Company is the surviving corporation but the shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately preceding the merger are converted by virtue of the merger into other property, whether in the form of securities, cash or otherwise (collectively, a "Change in Control"), then any surviving corporation or acquiring corporation may assume or continue any Stock Awards outstanding under the Plan or may substitute similar stock awards (including an award to acquire the same consideration paid to the shareholders in the transaction described in this subsection 11(c)) for those outstanding under the Plan. In the event any surviving corporation or acquiring corporation refuses to assume or continue such Stock Awards or to substitute similar stock awards for those outstanding under the Plan, then with respect to Stock Awards held by Participants whose Continuous Service has not terminated, the vesting of such Stock Awards (and, if applicable, the time during which such Stock Awards may be exercised) shall be accelerated in full, and the Stock Awards shall terminate if not exercised (if applicable) at or prior to such event. With respect to any other Stock Awards outstanding under the Plan, such Stock Awards shall terminate if not exercised (if applicable) prior to such event. (d) Termination of Service Following a Change in Control. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Stock Award Agreement, in the event of the occurrence of a Change in Control and provided that a Participant's Stock Award remains in effect following such Change in Control or is assumed, continued or substituted for any similar stock award in connection with the Change in Control, then, if such Participant's Continuous Service is terminated by the Company without Cause within thirteen (13) months following the effective date of the Change in Control, all Stock Awards held by such Participant (or any substituted stock awards) shall, as of the date of such termination of Continuous Service, vest in full and become fully exercisable (if applicable) to the extent not previously vested or exercisable. Such Stock Awards shall remain exercisable until they expire in accordance with their terms. (e) Securities Acquisition. After the Listing Date, in the event of an acquisition by any person, entity or group within the meaning of Section 13(d) or 14(d) of the Exchange Act, or any comparable successor provisions (excluding any employee benefit plan, or related trust, sponsored or maintained by the Company or an Affiliate) of the beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act, or comparable successor rule) of securities of the Company representing at least fifty percent (50%) of the combined voting power entitled to vote in the election of Directors, then with respect to Stock Awards held by Participants whose Continuous Service has not terminated, the vesting of such Stock Awards (and, if applicable, the time during which such Stock Awards may be exercised) shall be accelerated in full. Such Stock Awards shall remain exercisable until they expire in accordance with their terms. (f) Parachute Payments. If any payment or benefit Optionholder would receive in connection with a Change in Control from the Company or otherwise ("Payment") would (i) constitute a "parachute payment" within the meaning of Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), and (ii) but for this sentence, be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the "Excise Tax"), then such Payment shall be reduced to the Reduced Amount. The "Reduced Amount" shall be either (x) the largest portion of the Payment that would result in no portion of the Payment being subject to the Excise Tax or (y) the largest portion, up to and including the total, of the Payment, whichever amount, after taking into account all applicable federal, state and local employment taxes, income taxes, and the Excise Tax (all computed at the highest applicable marginal rate), results in Optionholder's receipt, on an after-tax basis, of the greater amount of the Payment notwithstanding that all or some portion of the Payment may be subject to the Excise Tax. If a reduction in payments or benefits constituting "parachute payments" is necessary so that the Payment equals the Reduced Amount, reduction shall occur in the following order unless the Optionholder elects in writing a different order (provided, however, that such election shall be subject to Company approval if made on or after the effective date of the Change of Control): reduction of cash payments; cancellation of accelerated vesting of stock awards; reduction M-13 of employee benefits. In the event that acceleration of vesting of stock award compensation is to be reduced, such acceleration of vesting shall be cancelled in the reverse order of the date of grant of the Optionholder's stock awards unless the Optionholder elects in writing a different order for cancellation. The accounting firm engaged by the Company for general audit purposes as of the day prior to the effective date of the Change in Control shall perform the foregoing calculations. If the accounting firm so engaged by the Company is serving as accountant or auditor for the individual, entity or group effecting the Change in Control, the Company shall appoint a nationally recognized accounting firm to make the determinations required hereunder. The Company shall bear all expenses with respect to the determinations by such accounting firm required to be made hereunder. The accounting firm engaged to make the determinations hereunder shall provide its calculations, together with detailed supporting documentation, to the Company and Optionholder within fifteen (15) calendar days after the date on which Optionholder's right to a Payment arises (if requested at that time by the Company or Optionholder) or at such other time as requested by the Company or Optionholder. If the accounting firm determines that no Excise Tax is payable with respect to a Payment, either before or after the application of the Reduced Amount, it shall furnish the Company and Optionholder with an opinion reasonably acceptable to Optionholder that no Excise Tax will be imposed with respect to such Payment. Any good faith determination of the accounting firm made hereunder shall be final, binding and conclusive upon the Company and Optionholder. 12. AMENDMENT OF THE PLAN AND STOCK AWARDS. (a) Amendment of Plan. The Board at any time, and from time to time, may amend the Plan. However, except as provided in Section 11 relating to adjustments upon changes in Common Stock, no amendment shall be effective unless approved by the shareholders of the Company to the extent shareholder approval is necessary to satisfy the requirements of Section 422 of the Code, Rule 16b-3 or any NASDAQ or securities exchange listing requirements. (b) Shareholder Approval. The Board may, in its sole discretion, submit any other amendment to the Plan for shareholder approval, including, but not limited to, amendments to the Plan intended to satisfy the requirements of Section 162(m) of the Code and the regulations thereunder regarding the exclusion of performance-based compensation from the limit on corporate deductibility of compensation paid to certain executive officers. (c) Contemplated Amendments. It is expressly contemplated that the Board may amend the Plan in any respect the Board deems necessary or advisable to provide eligible Employees with the maximum benefits provided or to be provided under the provisions of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder relating to Incentive Stock Options and/or to bring the Plan and/or Incentive Stock Options granted under it into compliance therewith. (d) No Impairment of Rights. Rights under any Stock Award granted before amendment of the Plan shall not be impaired by any amendment of the Plan unless (i) the Company requests the consent of the Participant and (ii) the Participant consents in writing. (e) Amendment of Stock Awards. The Board at any time, and from time to time, may amend the terms of any one or more Stock Awards; provided, however, that the rights under any Stock Award shall not be impaired by any such amendment unless (i) the Company requests the consent of the Participant and (ii) the Participant consents in writing. 13. TERMINATION OR SUSPENSION OF THE PLAN. (a) Plan Term. The Board may suspend or terminate the Plan at any time. Unless sooner terminated, the Plan shall terminate on the day before the tenth (10th) anniversary of the date the Plan is adopted by the Board or approved by the shareholders of the Company, whichever is earlier. No Stock Awards may be granted under the Plan while the Plan is suspended or after it is terminated. M-14 (b) No Impairment of Rights. Suspension or termination of the Plan shall not impair rights and obligations under any Stock Award granted while the Plan is in effect except with the written consent of the Participant. 14. EFFECTIVE DATE OF PLAN. The Plan shall become effective as determined by the Board, but no Stock Award shall be exercised (or, in the case of a stock bonus, shall be granted) unless and until the Plan has been approved by the shareholders of the Company, which approval shall be within twelve (12) months before or after the date the Plan is adopted by the Board. 15. CHOICE OF LAW. The law of the State of Washington shall govern all questions concerning the construction, validity and interpretation of this Plan, without regard to such state's conflict of laws rules.

This 1999 Stock Incentive Plan For Non-Officers (the "Plan") is intended to provide incentives: (a) to non-officer employees and consultants of Internap Network Services Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and any present or future parent or subsidiaries of the Company (collectively, "Related Corporations") by providing them with opportunities to purchase stock in the Company pursuant to Non-Qualified Stock Options ("NSOs") that do not qualify as Incentive Stock Options under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") and (b) to non-officer employees and consultants of the Company and Related Corporations by providing them with opportunities to receive awards of stock in the Company whether such stock awards are in the form of bonus shares, deferred stock awards, or of performance share awards (the "Awards"), and (c) to non-officer employees and consultants of the Company and Related Corporations by providing them with opportunities to make direct purchases of restricted stock in the Company ("Restricted Stock Purchases"). Non-Qualified Options are referred to hereafter as "Option." Options, Awards and authorizations to make Restricted Stock Purchases are referred to hereafter individually as a "Stock Right" and collectively as "Stock Rights." Documents evidencing the award of Stock Rights may be referred to collectively as "Stock Rights Agreements." As used herein, the terms "parent" and "subsidiary" mean "parent corporation" and "subsidiary corporation", respectively, as those terms are defined in Section 424 of the Code. 2. Administration of the Plan. (a) Board or Committee Administration. The Plan shall be administered by the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board"). The Board may appoint a Compensation Committee or a Stock Incentive Plan Committee (as the case may be, the "Committee") of two (2) or more of its members to administer the Plan and to grant Stock Rights hereunder, provided such Committee is delegated such powers in accordance with state law. (All references in this Plan to the "Committee" shall mean the Board if no such Compensation Committee or Stock Incentive Plan Committee has been so appointed). (b) Authority of Board or Committee. Subject to the terms of the Plan, the Committee shall have the authority to: (i) determine the employees of the Company and Related Corporations to whom Options may be granted; (ii) determine the time or times at which Options or Awards may be granted or Restricted Stock Purchases made; (iii) determine the exercise price of shares subject to each Option, which price shall not be less than the minimum price specified in paragraph 6, and the purchase price of shares subject to each Restricted Stock Purchase or Award; (iv) determine (subject to paragraph 7) the time or times when each Option shall become exercisable and the duration of the exercise period; (v) determine whether restrictions such as repurchase options are to be imposed on shares subject to Options, Awards and Restricted Stock Purchases and the nature of such restrictions, if any; (vi) impose such other terms and conditions with respect to capital stock issued pursuant to Stock Rights not inconsistent with the terms of this Plan as it deems necessary or desirable; and (vii) interpret the Plan and prescribe and rescind rules and regulations relating to it. The interpretation and construction by the Committee of any provisions of the Plan or of any Stock Right granted under it shall be final unless otherwise determined by the Board. The Committee may from time to time adopt such rules and regulations for carrying out the Plan as it may deem best. No member of the Board or the Committee shall be liable for any action or determination made in good faith with respect to the Plan or any Stock Right granted under it. N-1 (c) Delegation of Authority to Grant Awards to Officer. Without limiting the foregoing, the Board, in its discretion, may also delegate to a single officer of the Company who is a member of the Board (to the extent consistent with state law) all or part of the Board's or Committee's authority and duties with respect to the granting of Stock Rights to individuals. Such officer (the "Delegated Officer") shall act as a one member committee of the Board, and shall in any event be subject to the same limitations as are applicable to the Committee. References to the Committee in this Plan shall also include the Delegated Officer, but only to the extent consistent with the authorities and duties delegated to the Delegated Officer by the Board. The Board may revoke or amend the terms of a delegation at any time but such action shall not invalidate any prior actions of the Delegated Officer that were consistent with the terms of the Plan. (d) Committee Actions. The Committee may select one of its members as its chairman and shall hold meetings at such time and places as it may determine. Acts by a majority of the Committee, acting at a meeting (whether held in person or by teleconference), or acts reduced to or approved in writing by all of the members of the Committee, shall be the valid acts of the Committee. From time to time the Board may increase the size of the Committee and appoint additional members thereof, remove members (with or without cause) and appoint new members in substitution therefor, fill vacancies however caused, or remove all members of the Committee and thereafter directly administer the Plan, subject to compliance with paragraph 2A. 3. Eligible Employees and Others. Stock Rights may be granted to any employee, consultant or advisor of the Company or any Related Corporation. However, notwithstanding any other provision herein to the contrary, no person shall be eligible for a Stock Right under the Plan (i) who holds a position of vice president or higher of the Company or Related Corporations, (ii) who would be considered an "officer" or " director" within the meaning of those terms under Rule 4460(i)(1)(A) of the National Association of Securities Dealers Manual (or such amended or successor rule), (iii) who would be considered a person subject to Section 16b of the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (and regulations promulgated thereunder), or (iv) whose eligibility would require approval of the Plan by the stockholders of the Company under any law or regulation or the rules of any stock exchange or market system upon which the Common Stock may then be listed. If not inconsistent with any such law, regulation or rule, a Stock Right may be granted to a person, not previously employed by the Company or a Related Corporation, as an inducement essential to entering into an employment contract with the Company or a Related Corporation. The Committee may take into consideration a recipient's individual circumstances in determining whether to grant a Stock Right. Granting a Stock Right to any individual or entity shall neither entitle that individual or entity to, nor disqualify him from, participation in any other grant of Stock Rights. 4. Stock. The stock subject to Stock Rights shall be the common stock of the Company (the "Common Stock"), or shares of Common Stock reacquired by the Company in any manner. The aggregate number of shares which may be issued pursuant to the Plan is 1,346,840, subject to adjustment as provided in paragraph 13. 5. Granting of Stock Rights. Stock Rights may be granted under the Plan at any time after June 29, 1999 and prior to June 28, 2009. The date of grant of a Stock Right under the Plan will be the date specified by the Committee at the time it grants the Stock Right or such date that is specified in the instrument or agreement evidencing such Stock Right; provided, however, that such date shall not be prior to the date on which the Committee acts to approve the grant. 6. Minimum Option Price. (a) Price for Incentive Stock Options. Incentive Stock Options shall not be granted under this Plan. (b) Determination of Fair Market Value. "Fair Market Value" shall be determined as of the last business day for which the prices or quotes discussed in this sentence are available prior to the date such Option is granted and shall mean (i) the average (on that date) of the high and low prices of the Common Stock on the principal national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is traded, if the Common Stock is then traded on a national securities exchange; or (ii) the last reported sale price (on that date) of the Common Stock on the NASDAQ National Market List, if the Common Stock is not then traded on a national securities exchange; or (iii) the closing bid price (or average of bid prices) last quoted (on that date) by an established quotation service for N-2 over-the-counter securities, if the Common Stock is not then traded on a national securities exchange and is not reported on the NASDAQ National Market List. 7. Option Duration. Subject to earlier termination as provided in paragraphs 9, 10, and 13, each Option shall expire on the date specified by or shall have such duration as may be specified by the Committee and set forth in the original stock option agreement granting such Option, but not more than ten years from the date of grant. Options shall expire on the date specified in the agreement granting such Options, subject to extension as determined by the Committee. 8. Exercise of Option. Subject to the provisions of paragraphs 9 through 13, each Option granted under the Plan shall be exercisable as follows: (a) Vesting. Unless otherwise specified by the Committee, Options granted to employees shall vest in accordance with the following schedule: (a) as to 25% of the shares subject to the Option, on the first anniversary of the date of grant of the Option; and (b) as to the remaining 75% of the shares subject to the Option, in 36 equal monthly installments (such monthly vesting dates shall commence one months following such first annual anniversary on the exact day of the month as the date of such first annual anniversary, and continue at one month intervals thereafter, except with respect to any month that does not have such date, in which case the date in such month shall be the last day of such month). The Committee may also specify such other conditions precedent as it deems appropriate to the exercise of an Option. (b) Full Vesting of Installments. Once an installment becomes exercisable it shall remain exercisable until expiration or termination of the Option, unless otherwise specified by the Committee. (c) Partial Exercise. Each Option or installment may be exercised at any time or from time to time, in whole or in part, for up to the total number of shares with respect to which it is then exercisable, provided that the Committee may specify a certain minimum number or percentage of the shares issuable upon exercise of any Option that must be purchased upon any exercise. (d) Acceleration of Vesting. The Committee shall have the right to accelerate the date of exercise of any installment of any Option, despite the fact that such acceleration may cause the application of Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code if a Change in Control Event, as defined below in paragraph 13C, occurs. 9. Termination of Employment. Nothing in the Plan shall be deemed to give any grantee of any Stock Right the right to be retained in employment or other service by the Company or any Related Corporation for any period of time. Notwithstanding anything contained in this paragraph 9 to the contrary, the Board or Committee may establish rules in particular stock option agreements with respect to Misconduct, committed by a grantee of a Stock Right. Misconduct shall have the same meaning as the term Cause, as defined below. In the event that grantee's Service terminates (other than upon death or Disability or for Cause), the grantee may exercise his or her Option (to the extent that the grantee was entitled to exercise such Option as of the date of termination) but only within such period of time ending on the earlier of (i) the date three (3) months following the termination of the grantee's Service, or (ii) the expiration of the term of the Option as set forth in the Option. If, after termination, the grantee does not exercise his or her Option within the time specified in the Option, the Option shall terminate. In the event an grantee's Service terminates for Cause, then his or her Option shall terminate immediately upon such event. 10. Death; Disability. (a) Death. If an optionee ceases to be employed by the Company and all Related Corporations by reason of his death, or if the employee dies within the thirty (30) day period after the employee ceases to be employed by the Company and all Related Corporations, any Option of his may be exercised, to the extent of the number of shares with respect to which he could have exercised it on the date of his death, by his estate, personal representative or beneficiary who has acquired the Option by will or by the laws of descent and N-3 distribution, at any time prior to the earlier of the specified expiration date of the Option or one hundred and eighty (180) days from the date of such optionee's death. (b) Disability. If an optionee ceases to be employed by the Company and all Related Corporations by reason of his disability, he shall have the right to exercise any Option held by him on the date of termination of employment, to the extent of the number of shares with respect to which he could have exercised it on that date, at any time prior to the earlier of the specified expiration date of the Option or one (1) year from the date of the termination of the optionee's employment. For the purposes of the Plan, the term "disability" shall mean "permanent and total disability" as defined in Section 22(e)(3) of the Code or successor statute. 11. Assignability. Except for Options which may be transferred for estate planning purposes to the extent provided in the instrument or agreement granting such Options, no Stock Right shall be assignable or transferable by the grantee except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and during the lifetime of the grantee each Stock Right shall be exercisable only by him. No Stock Right, nor the right to exercise any portion thereof, shall be subject to execution, attachment, or similar process, assignment, or any other alienation or hypothecation. Upon any attempt so to transfer, assign, pledge, hypothecate, or otherwise dispose of any Stock Right, or of any right or privilege conferred thereby, contrary to the provisions thereof or hereof or upon the levy of any attachment or similar process upon any Stock Right, right or privilege, such Stock Right and such rights and privileges shall immediately become null and void. The foregoing shall not be construed to restrict the ability to assign or transfer shares of Common Stock issued upon the exercise or award of a Stock Right to the extent that the instrument or agreement granting such Stock Right permits such assignment or transfer. 12. Terms and Conditions of Stock Rights. Stock Rights shall be evidenced by instruments (which need not be identical) in such forms as the Committee may from time to time approve. Such instruments shall conform to the terms and conditions set forth in paragraphs 6 through 11 hereof to the extent applicable and may contain such other provisions as the Committee deems advisable which are not inconsistent with the Plan. Without limiting the foregoing, such provisions may include transfer restrictions, rights of refusal, vesting provisions, and repurchase rights with respect to shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of Stock Rights, and such other restrictions applicable to shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of Stock Rights as the Committee may deem appropriate. The Committee may from time to time confer authority and responsibility on one or more of its own members and/or one or more officers of the Company to execute and deliver such instruments. The proper officers of the Company are authorized and directed to take any and all action necessary or advisable from time to time to carry out the terms of such instruments. 13. Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of any of the following events, an individual's rights with respect to Stock Rights granted to him hereunder shall be adjusted as hereinafter provided, unless otherwise specifically provided in the written agreement between the optionee and the Company relating to such Stock Right: (a) Capitalization Adjustments. If any change is made in the Common Stock subject to the Plan, or subject to any Stock Rights, without the receipt of consideration by the Company (through merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization, reincorporation, stock dividend, dividend in property other than cash, stock split, liquidating dividend, combination of shares, exchange of shares, change in corporate structure or other transaction not involving the receipt of consideration by the Company), the Plan will be appropriately adjusted in the class(es) and maximum number of securities subject to the Plan pursuant to subsection 4 and the outstanding Stock Rights will be appropriately adjusted in the class(es) and number of securities and price per share of Common Stock subject to such outstanding Stock Rights. The Board shall make such adjustments, and its determination shall be final, binding and conclusive. (The conversion of any convertible securities of the Company shall not be treated as a transaction "without receipt of consideration" by the Company.) (b) Dissolution or Liquidation. In the event of a dissolution or liquidation of the Company, then all outstanding Stock Rights shall terminate immediately prior to such event. (c) Certain Changes in Control. In the event of (i) a sale, lease or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, (ii) a merger or consolidation in which the Company is not the surviving corporation or (iii) a reverse merger in which the Company is the surviving corporation but the shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately preceding the merger are converted by virtue of the merger into other N-4 property, whether in the form of securities, cash or otherwise (collectively, a "Change in Control" or "Corporate Transaction"), then any surviving corporation or acquiring corporation may assume or continue any Stock Rights outstanding under the Plan or may substitute similar stock awards (including an award to acquire the same consideration paid to the shareholders in the transaction described in this subsection 13C) for those outstanding under the Plan. In the event any surviving corporation or acquiring corporation refuses to assume or continue such Stock Rights or to substitute similar stock awards for those outstanding under the Plan, then with respect to Stock Rights held by participants whose Service has not terminated, the vesting of such Stock Rights (and, if applicable, the time during which such Stock Rights may be exercised) shall be accelerated in full, and the Stock Rights shall terminate if not exercised (if applicable) at or prior to such event. With respect to any other Stock Rights outstanding under the Plan, such Stock Rights shall terminate if not exercised (if applicable) prior to such event. (d) Termination of Service Following a Change in Control. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Stock Rights Agreement, in the event of the occurrence of a Change in Control and provided that a participant's Stock Right remains in effect following such Change in Control or is assumed, continued or substituted for any similar stock award in connection with the Change in Control, then, if such participant's Service is terminated by the Company without Cause within thirteen (13) months following the effective date of the Change in Control, all Stock Rights held by such participant (or any substituted stock awards) shall, as of the date of such termination of Service, vest in full and become fully exercisable (if applicable) to the extent not previously vested or exercisable. Such Stock Rights shall remain exercisable until they expire in accordance with their terms. The term "Cause" shall have such meaning as is defined in the grantee's employment or consulting agreement with the Company or a Related Corporation. If the grantee does not have an employment or consulting agreement with the Company or a Related Corporation, or if such agreement does not define the term "cause," then the term "cause" shall mean: (i) misconduct or dishonesty that materially adversely affects the Company or a Related Corporation, including without limitation (A) an act materially in conflict with the financial interests of the Company or a Related Corporation, (B) an act that could damage the reputation or customer relations of the Company or a Related Corporation, (C) an act that could subject the Company or a Related Corporation to liability, (D) an act constituting sexual harassment or other violation of the civil rights of coworkers, (E) failure to obey any lawful instruction of the Board or any officer of the Company or of a Related Corporation and (F) failure to comply with, or perform any duty required under, the terms of any confidentiality, inventions or non-competition agreement the grantee may have with the Company or a Related Corporation, or (ii) acts constituting the unauthorized disclosure of any of the trade secrets or confidential information of the Company or a Related Corporation, unfair competition with the Company or a Related Corporation or the inducement of any customer of the Company or a Related Corporation to breach any contract with the Company or a Related Corporation. The right to exercise any Option shall be suspended automatically during the pendency of any investigation by the Board or its designee, and/or any negotiations by the Board or its designee and the grantee, regarding any actual or alleged act or omission by the grantee of the type described in this section. The term "Service" means the performance of services for the Company or a Related Corporation by an individual. An individual shall be deemed to remain in Service for so long as such individual renders services to the Company or a Related Corporation on a periodic basis in the capacity of an employee or an independent consultant or advisor. (e) Securities Acquisition. In the event of an acquisition by any person, entity or group within the meaning of Section 13(d) or 14(d) of the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), or any comparable successor provisions (excluding any employee benefit plan, or related trust, sponsored or maintained by the Company or an Affiliate) of the beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act, or comparable successor rule) of securities of the Company representing at least fifty percent (50%) of the combined voting power entitled to vote in the election of Directors, then with respect to Stock Rights held by participants whose Service has not terminated, the vesting of such Stock Rights (and, if applicable, the time during which such Stock Rights may be exercised) shall be accelerated in full. Such Stock Rights shall remain exercisable until they expire in accordance with their terms. (f) Parachute Payments. If any payment or benefit participant would receive in connection with a Change in Control from the Company or otherwise ("Payment") would (i) constitute a "parachute payment" within the meaning of Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), and (ii) but N-5 for this sentence, be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the "Excise Tax"), then such Payment shall be reduced to the Reduced Amount. The "Reduced Amount" shall be either (x) the largest portion of the Payment that would result in no portion of the Payment being subject to the Excise Tax or (y) the largest portion, up to and including the total, of the Payment, whichever amount, after taking into account all applicable federal, state and local employment taxes, income taxes, and the Excise Tax (all computed at the highest applicable marginal rate), results in participant's receipt, on an after-tax basis, of the greater amount of the Payment notwithstanding that all or some portion of the Payment may be subject to the Excise Tax. If a reduction in payments or benefits constituting "parachute payments" is necessary so that the Payment equals the Reduced Amount, reduction shall occur in the following order unless the participant elects in writing a different order (provided, however, that such election shall be subject to Company approval if made on or after the effective date of the Change of Control): reduction of cash payments; cancellation of accelerated vesting of stock awards; reduction of employee benefits. In the event that acceleration of vesting of stock award compensation is to be reduced, such acceleration of vesting shall be cancelled in the reverse order of the date of grant of the participant's stock awards unless the participant elects in writing a different order for cancellation. The accounting firm engaged by the Company for general audit purposes as of the day prior to the effective date of the Change in Control shall perform the foregoing calculations. If the accounting firm so engaged by the Company is serving as accountant or auditor for the individual, entity or group effecting the Change in Control, the Company shall appoint a nationally recognized accounting firm to make the determinations required hereunder. The Company shall bear all expenses with respect to the determinations by such accounting firm required to be made hereunder. The accounting firm engaged to make the determinations hereunder shall provide its calculations, together with detailed supporting documentation, to the Company and participant within fifteen (15) calendar days after the date on which participant's right to a Payment arises (if requested at that time by the Company or participant) or at such other time as requested by the Company or participant. If the accounting firm determines that no Excise Tax is payable with respect to a Payment, either before or after the application of the Reduced Amount, it shall furnish the Company and participant with an opinion reasonably acceptable to participant that no Excise Tax will be imposed with respect to such Payment. Any good faith determination of the accounting firm made hereunder shall be final, binding and conclusive upon the Company and participant. (g) Issuances of Securities and Non-Stock Dividends. Except as expressly provided herein, no issuance by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number or price of shares subject to Options. No adjustments shall be made for dividends paid in cash or in property other than securities of the Company (and, in the case of securities of the Company, such adjustments shall be made pursuant to the foregoing subparagraph A). (h) Fractional Shares. No fractional shares shall be issued under the Plan, and the optionee shall receive from the Company cash in lieu of such fractional shares. (i) Adjustments. Upon the happening of any of the foregoing events described in subparagraphs A, B or C above, the class and aggregate number of shares set forth in paragraph 4 hereof that are subject to Stock Rights which previously have been or subsequently may be granted under the Plan shall also be appropriately adjusted to reflect the events described in such subparagraphs. The Committee or the board of directors of the surviving entity shall determine the specific adjustments to be made under this paragraph 13 and its determination shall be conclusive. If any person or entity owning Common Stock obtained by exercise of a Stock Right made hereunder receives shares or securities or cash in connection with a corporate transaction described in this section as a result of owning such Common Stock, such shares or securities or cash shall be subject to all of the conditions and restrictions applicable to the Common Stock with respect to which such shares or securities or cash were issued, unless otherwise determined by the Committee or the Board of Directors of the surviving entity. (j) Pooling-of-Interests Accounting. If the Company proposes to engage in a Corporate Transaction or Change in Control intended to be accounted for as a pooling-of-interests, and in the event that the N-6 provisions of this Plan or of any agreement hereunder, or any actions of the Board taken in connection with such Corporate Transaction or Change in Control, are determined by the Company's or the surviving entity's independent public accountants to cause such Change in Control or Corporate Transaction to fail to be accounted for as a pooling-of-interests, then such provisions or actions may be amended or rescinded at the election of the Committee, without the consent of any grantee, to be consistent with pooling-of-interests accounting treatment for such Corporate Transaction or Change in Control. 14. Means of Exercising Options. An Option (or any part or installment thereof) shall be exercised by giving written notice to the Company at its principal office address. Such notice shall identify the Option being exercised and specify the number of shares as to which such Option is being exercised, accompanied by full payment of the purchase price therefor either (a) in United States dollars in cash or by check, or (b) at the discretion of the Committee, by delivery of an irrevocable and unconditional undertaking, satisfactory in form and substance to the Company, by a creditworthy broker to deliver promptly to the Company sufficient funds to pay the exercise price, or delivery to the Company of a copy of irrevocable and unconditional instructions, satisfactory in form and substance to the Company, to a creditworthy broker to deliver promptly to the Company cash or a check sufficient to pay the exercise price, or (c) at the discretion of the Committee through delivery of shares of Common Stock having a fair market value equal as of the date of the exercise to the cash exercise price of the Option, provided, however, that such shares of Common Stock delivered must have been acquired by the holder of the Option more than six months prior to the exercise of the Option, or (d) at the discretion of the Committee, by delivery of the grantee's personal recourse note bearing interest payable not less than annually at no less than 100% of the applicable Federal rate, as defined in Section 1274(d) of the Code, or (e) at the discretion of the Committee, by any combination of (a), (b) (c) and (d) above. The holder of an Option shall not have the rights of a shareholder with respect to the shares covered by his Option until the date of issuance of a stock certificate to him for the shares subject to the Option. Except as expressly provided above in paragraph 13 with respect to changes in capitalization and stock dividends, no adjustment shall be made for dividends or similar rights for which the record date is before the date such stock certificate is issued. 15. Term and Amendment of Plan. The Plan shall expire on June 28, 2009 (except as to Options outstanding on that date). The Board may terminate or amend the Plan in any respect at any time; provided, however that Stock Rights outstanding on such date shall not be affected by the termination of the Plan. 16. Section 162(m): Section 162(m) does not apply to grants of Stock Rights under this Plan. 17. Amendment of Stock Rights. The Board or Committee may amend, modify or terminate any outstanding Stock Rights including, but not limited to, substituting therefor another Stock Right of the same or a different type, and changing the date of exercise or realization, provided, that, except as otherwise provided in paragraphs 9 or 10, the grantee's consent to such action shall be required unless the Board or Committee determines that the action, taking into account any related action, would not materially and adversely affect the grantee. 18. Application of Funds. The proceeds received by the Company from the sale of shares pursuant to Options granted and Restricted Stock Purchases authorized under the Plan shall be used for general corporate purposes. 19. Governmental Regulation. The Company's obligation to sell and deliver shares of the Common Stock under this Plan is subject to the approval of any governmental authority required in connection with the authorization, issuance or sale of such shares. 20. Withholding of Additional Income Taxes. Upon the exercise of a Non-Qualified Option, the making of a Restricted Stock Purchase for less than its fair market value, the granting of an Award, or the vesting of restricted Common Stock acquired on the exercise of a Stock Right hereunder, the Company, in accordance with Section 3402(a) of the Code, may require the grantee or purchaser to pay additional withholding taxes in respect of the amount that is considered compensation includible in such person's gross income. The Committee in its discretion may condition (i) the exercise of an Option, (ii) the making of a Restricted Stock Purchase for less than its fair market value, (iii) the granting of an Award, or (iv) the vesting of restricted Common Stock acquired by exercising a Stock Right, on the grantee's payment of such additional withholding taxes. N-7 21. Governing Law; Construction. The validity and construction of the Plan and the instruments evidencing Options shall be governed by the laws of the state of Washington. In construing this Plan, the singular shall include the plural and the masculine gender shall include the feminine and neuter, unless the context otherwise requires. N-8 APPENDIX O AMENDED AND RESTATED 1998 STOCK OPTION/STOCK ISSUANCE PLAN AMENDED AND RESTATED SEPTEMBER 20, 2000 ARTICLE I GENERAL PROVISIONS Section 1.

(the "Corporation") by providing eligible individuals who are responsible for the management, growth and financial success of the Corporation or who otherwise render valuable services to the Corporation with the opportunity to acquire a proprietary interest, or increase their proprietary interest, in the Corporation and thereby encourage them to remain in the service of the Corporation. Capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in Section 6 of this Article I. Section 2. STRUCTURE OF THE PLAN The Plan shall be divided into two separate components: the Option Grant Program specified in Article II and the Stock Issuance Program specified in Article III. The provisions of Articles I, IV and V of the Plan shall apply to both the Option Grant Program and the Stock Issuance Program and shall accordingly govern the interests of all individuals in the Plan. Section 3. ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN (a) The Plan shall be administered by the Board. The Board at any time may appoint a Committee and delegate to such Committee some or all of the administrative powers allocated to the Board pursuant to the provisions of the Plan. Members of the Committee shall serve for such period of time as the Board may determine and shall be subject to removal by the Board at any time. The Board at any time may terminate the functions of the Committee and reassume all powers and authority previously delegated to the Committee. (b) The Plan Administrator (either the Board or the Committee, to the extent the Committee is at the time responsible for the administration of the Plan) shall have full power and authority (subject to the provisions of the Plan) to establish such rules and regulations as it may deem appropriate for the proper plan administration and to make such determinations under, and issue such interpretations of, the Plan and any outstanding option grants or share issuances as it may deem necessary or advisable. Decisions of the Plan Administrator shall be final and binding on all parties who have an interest in the Plan or any outstanding option or share issuance. (c) At such time as the Common Stock is publicly traded, in the discretion of the Board, a Committee may consist solely of two or more Outside Directors, in accordance with Section 162(m) of the Code, and/or solely of two or more Non-Employee Directors, in accordance with Rule 16b-3. Within the scope of such authority, the Board or the Committee may (1) delegate to a committee of one or more members of the Board who are not Outside Directors the authority to grant Stock Awards to eligible persons who are either (a) not then Covered Employees and are not expected to be Covered Employees at the time of recognition of income resulting from such Stock Award or (b) not persons with respect to whom the Corporation wishes to comply with Section 162(m) of the Code and/or) (2) delegate to a committee of one or more members of the Board who are not Non-Employee Directors the authority to grant Stock Awards to eligible persons who are not then subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act.

ARTICLE II OPTION GRANT PROGRAM Section 1. TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF OPTIONS Options granted pursuant to the Plan shall be authorized by action of the Plan Administrator and, at the discretion of the Plan Administrator, may be either Incentive Options or Non-Statutory Options. Each granted option shall be evidenced by one or more instruments in the form approved by the Plan Administrator; provided, that each such instrument shall comply with and incorporate the terms and conditions specified below. In addition, each instrument evidencing an Incentive Option shall be subject to the applicable provisions of Section 2 of this Article II. (a) Option Price. (1) The option price per share shall be fixed by the Plan Administrator. O-5 (2) The option price shall become immediately due upon exercise of the option, and subject to the provisions of Article IV, Section 2, shall be payable in cash or check drawn to the Corporation's order. Should the Corporation's outstanding Common Stock be registered under Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934 Act") at the time the option is exercised, then the option price may also be paid as follows: (A) in shares of Common Stock held by the optionee for the requisite period necessary to avoid a charge to the Corporation's earnings for financial reporting purposes and valued at Fair Market Value on the Exercise Date; or (B) through a special sale and remittance procedure pursuant to which the Optionee is to (i) provide irrevocable written instructions to a designated brokerage firm to effect the immediate sale of the purchased shares and remit to the Corporation, out of the sale proceeds, an amount sufficient to cover the aggregate option price payable for the purchased shares plus all applicable Federal and State income and employment taxes required to be withheld by the Corporation by reason of such purchase and (ii) concurrently provide written directives to the Corporation to deliver the certificates for the purchased shares directly to such brokerage firm in order to effect the sale transaction. (b) Term and Exercise of Options. Each option granted under the Plan shall be exercisable at such time or times, during such period, and for such number of shares as shall be determined by the Plan Administrator and set forth in the notice of grant and stock option agreement evidencing such option. No option granted under the Plan, however, shall have a term in excess of ten (10) years from the grant date. During the lifetime of the Optionee, the option shall be exercisable only by the Optionee and shall not be assignable or transferable by the Optionee otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution following the Optionee's death. (c) Termination of Service. (1) Should the Optionee cease to remain in Service for any reason (including death or Permanent Disability) while holding one or more outstanding options under the Plan, then except to the extent otherwise provided pursuant to Section 6 of this Article II, each such option shall remain exercisable for the limited period of time (not to exceed twelve (12) months after the date of such cessation of Service) specified by the Plan Administrator in the option agreement. In no event, however, shall any such option be exercisable after the specified expiration date of the option term. During such limited period of exercisability, the option may not be exercised for more than that number of shares (if any) for which such option is exercisable on the date of the Optionee's cessation of Service. Upon the expiration of such period or (if earlier) upon the expiration of the option term, the option shall terminate and cease to be exercisable. (2) Any option granted to an Optionee under the Plan and exercisable in whole or in part on the date of the Optionee's death may be subsequently exercised by the personal representative of the Optionee's estate or by the person or persons to whom the option is transferred pursuant to the Optionee's will or in accordance with the laws of descent and distribution. The maximum number of shares for which such option may be exercised shall be limited to the number of shares (if any) for which the option is exercisable on the date of the Optionee's cessation of Service. Any such exercise of the option must be effected prior to the earlier of the first anniversary of the date of the Optionee's death or the specified expiration date of the option term. Upon the occurrence of either such event, the option shall terminate and cease to be exercisable. (3) Notwithstanding subsections (1) and (2) above, the Plan Administrator shall have discretion, exercisable either at the time the option is granted or at the time the Optionee ceases Service, to allow one or more outstanding options held by the Optionee to be exercised, during the limited period of exercisability following the Optionee's cessation of Service, not only with respect to the number of shares for which the option is exercisable at the time of the Optionee's cessation of Service but also with respect to one or more subsequent installments of purchasable shares for which the option otherwise would have become exercisable had such cessation of Service not occurred. O-6 (4) Notwithstanding any provision of this Article II or any other provision of this Plan to the contrary, any options granted under this Plan shall terminate as of the date the Optionee ceases to be in the Service of the Corporation if the Optionee was terminated for "cause" or could have been terminated for "cause." If the Optionee has an employment or consulting agreement with the Corporation, the term "cause" shall have the meaning given that term in such employment or consulting agreement. If the Optionee does not have an employment or consulting agreement with the Corporation, or if such agreement does not define the term "cause," the term "cause" shall mean: (A) misconduct or dishonesty that materially adversely affects the Corporation, including without limitation (i) an act materially in conflict with the financial interests of the Corporation, (ii) an act that could damage the reputation or customer relations of the Corporation, (iii) an act that could subject the Corporation to liability, (iv) an act constituting sexual harassment or other violation of the civil rights of coworkers, (v) failure to obey any lawful instruction of the Board or any officer of the Corporation and (vi) failure to comply with, or perform any duty required under, the terms of any confidentiality, inventions or non-competition agreement the Optionee may have with the Corporation, or (B) acts constituting the unauthorized disclosure of any of the trade secrets or confidential information of the Corporation, unfair competition with the Corporation or the inducement of any customer of the Corporation to breach any contract with the Corporation. The right to exercise any option shall be suspended automatically during the pendency of any investigation by the Board or its designee, and/or any negotiations by the Board or its designee and the Optionee, regarding any actual or alleged act or omission by the Optionee of the type described in this section. (d) Shareholder Rights. An Optionee shall have none of the rights of a shareholder with respect to any shares covered by the option until such Optionee shall have exercised the option and paid the option price. (e) Repurchase Rights. The shares of Common Stock issued under the Plan shall be subject to certain repurchase rights of the Corporation in accordance with the following provisions: (1) (A) The Plan Administrator shall have the discretion to authorize the issuance of unvested shares of Common Stock under the Plan. Should the optionee cease Service or should the Corporation consummate a Corporate Transaction while the optionee is holding such unvested shares, the Corporation shall have the right to repurchase, at the option price paid per share, all or (at the discretion of the Corporation and with the consent of the Optionee) any portion of those such shares. The terms and conditions upon which such repurchase right shall be exercisable (including the period and procedure for exercise and the appropriate vesting schedule for the purchased shares) shall be established by the Plan Administrator and set forth in an instrument evidencing such right. (B) The repurchase right shall be assignable to any person or entity selected by the Corporation, including one or more of the Corporation's shareholders. If the selected assignee is other than a Parent or Subsidiary corporation, however, then the assignee must make a cash payment to the Corporation, upon the assignment of the repurchase right, in an amount equal to the amount by which the Fair Market Value of the unvested shares at the time subject to the assigned right exceeds the aggregate repurchase price payable for such unvested shares. (C) Upon the occurrence of a Corporate Transaction, the Plan Administrator may, at its sole discretion, (i) terminate all or any outstanding repurchase rights under the Plan and thereby cause the shares subject to such rights to vest immediately in full, (ii) arrange for all or any of the repurchase rights to be assigned to the successor corporation (or parent thereof) in connection with the Corporate Transaction or (iii) exercise the Corporation's right to repurchase any unvested shares contemporaneously with the consummation of the Corporate Transaction if such right is provided in the instrument pursuant to which such unvested shares were issued. (2) Until such time as the Corporation's outstanding shares of Common Stock are first registered under Section 12(g) of the 1934 Act, the Corporation shall have the right of first refusal with respect to any proposed sale or other disposition by the Optionee (or any successor in interest by reason of purchase, gift or other mode of transfer) of any shares of Common Stock issued under the Plan. Such right of first refusal shall be exercisable by the Corporation (or its assignees) in accordance with the terms and conditions established by the Plan Administrator and set forth in the instrument evidencing such right. O-7 Section 2. INCENTIVE OPTIONS The terms and conditions specified below shall be applicable to all Incentive Options granted under the Plan. Incentive Options may be granted only to individuals who are Employees. Options that are specifically designated as Non-Statutory Options when issued under the Plan shall not be subject to the following terms and conditions. (a) Option Price. The option price per share of the Common Stock subject to an Incentive Option shall in no event be less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the grant date; provided, if the individual to whom the option is granted is at the time a Ten Percent Shareholder, then the option price per share shall not be less than one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the grant date. (b) Dollar Limitation. The aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the respective date or dates of grant) of the Common Stock for which one or more options granted to any Employee under this Plan (or any other option plan of the Corporation or any Parent or Subsidiary corporation) may for the first time become exercisable as incentive stock options under the Federal tax laws during any one calendar year shall not exceed the sum of one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000). To the extent the Employee holds two or more such options which become exercisable for the first time in the same calendar year, the foregoing limitation on the exercisability thereof as Incentive Options under the Federal tax laws shall be applied on the basis of the order in which such options are granted. (c) Option Term for Ten Percent Shareholder. No option granted to a Ten Percent Shareholder shall have a term in excess of five (5) years from the grant date. Except as modified by the preceding provisions of this Section 2, all the provisions of the Plan shall be applicable to the Incentive Options granted hereunder. Section 3. CORPORATE TRANSACTION (a) The exercisability as incentive stock options under the Federal tax laws of any options accelerated in connection with the Corporate Transaction shall remain subject to the applicable dollar limitation of subsection 2(b) of this Article II. (b) The grant of options under this Plan shall in no way affect the right of the Corporation to adjust, reclassify, reorganize or otherwise change its capital or business structure or to merge, consolidate, dissolve, liquidate or sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets. Section 4. CANCELLATION AND NEW GRANT OF OPTIONS The Plan Administrator shall have the authority to effect, at any time and from time to time, with the consent of the affected Optionees, the cancellation of any or all outstanding options under the Plan and to grant in substitution therefor new options under the Plan covering the same or different numbers of shares of Common Stock but having, in the case of an Incentive Option, an option price per share not less than one hundred percent (100%) of such Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on the new grant date, or, in the case of a Ten Percent Shareholder, not less than one hundred and ten percent (110%) of such Fair Market Value. Section 5. EXTENSION OF EXERCISE PERIOD The Plan Administrator shall have full power and authority to extend (either at the time the option is granted or at any time that the option remains outstanding) the period of time for which the option is to remain exercisable following the Optionee's cessation of Service, from the limited period set forth in the option agreement, to such greater period of time as the Plan Administrator may deem appropriate under the circumstances. In no event, however, shall such option be exercisable after the specified expiration date of the option term. O-8 ARTICLE III STOCK ISSUANCE PROGRAM Section 6. TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF STOCK ISSUANCES Shares of Common Stock shall be issuable under the Stock Issuance Program through direct and immediate issuances without any intervening stock option grants. Each such stock issuance shall be evidenced by a Stock Issuance Agreement ("Issuance Agreement") that complies with the terms and conditions of this Article III. (a) Issue Price. (1) Shares may, in the absolute discretion of the Plan Administrator, be issued for consideration with a value less than one-hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of the issued shares. (2) Shares shall be issued under the Plan for such consideration as the Plan Administrator shall from time to time determine, provided that in no event shall shares be issued for consideration other than: (A) cash or check payable to the Corporation, (B) a promissory note in favor of the Corporation, which may be subject to cancellation by the Corporation in whole or in part upon such terms and conditions as the Plan Administrator shall specify, or (C) services rendered. (b) Vesting Schedule. (1) In the discretion of the Plan Administrator, the interest of a Participant in the shares of Common Stock issued to such Participant under the Plan may be fully and immediately vested upon issuance or may vest in one or more installments in accordance with the vesting provisions of subsection (b)(4) below. Except as otherwise provided in subsection (b)(2), the Participant may not transfer any issued shares in which such Participant does not have a vested interest. Accordingly, all unvested shares issued under the Plan shall bear the restrictive legend specified in Article IV, Section 1, until such legend is removed in accordance with such section. Regardless of whether or not a Participant's interest in such shares is vested, such Participant shall be entitled to exercise all the rights of a shareholder with respect to the shares of Common Stock issued to Participant hereunder, including the right to vote such shares and to receive any cash dividends or other distributions paid or made with respect to such shares. Any new, additional or different shares of stock or other property (including money paid other than as a regular cash dividend) that the holder of unvested Common Stock may have the right to receive with respect to such unvested shares by reason of a stock dividend, stock split, reclassification or other change affecting the outstanding Common Stock as a class without the Corporation's receipt of consideration therefor shall be issued subject to (i) the same vesting requirements under subsection (b)(4) applicable to the unvested Common Stock and (ii) such escrow arrangements as the Plan Administrator shall deem appropriate. (2) As used in this Article III, the term "transfer" shall include (without limitation) any sale, pledge, encumbrance, gift or other disposition of such shares. A Participant shall have the right to make a gift of unvested shares acquired under the Stock Issuance Program to Participant's spouse, parents or issue or to a trust established for such spouse, parents or issue, provided the donee of such shares delivers to the Corporation, at the time of such donee's acquisition of the gifted shares, a written agreement to be bound by all the provisions of the Plan and the Issuance Agreement executed by the Participant. (3) Should the Participant cease Service for any reason while Participant's interest in the Common Stock remains unvested, then the Corporation shall have the right to repurchase, at the original purchase price paid by the Participant, all or (at the discretion of the Corporation and with the consent of the Participant) any portion of the shares in which the Participant is not at the time vested, and the Participant shall thereafter cease to have any further shareholder rights with respect to the repurchased shares. O-9 (4) Any shares of Common Stock issued under the Stock Issuance Program that are not vested at the time of such issuance shall vest in one or more installments thereafter. The elements of the vesting schedule, specifically, the performance or service objectives to be completed or achieved, the number of installments in which the shares are to vest, the interval or intervals (if any) that are to lapse between installments and the effect that death, Permanent Disability or other event designated by the Plan Administrator is to have upon the vesting schedule, shall be determined by the Plan Administrator and specified in the Issuance Agreement. (5) In its discretion, the Plan Administrator may elect not to exercise, in whole or in part, its repurchase rights with respect to any unvested Common Stock or other assets that would otherwise at the time be subject to repurchase pursuant to the provisions of subsection (b)(3) above. Such an election shall result in the immediate vesting of the Participant's interest in the shares of Common Stock as to which the election applies. (6) No shares of Common Stock or other assets shall be issued or delivered under this Plan unless and until, in the opinion of counsel for the Corporation (or its successor in the event of any Corporate Transaction), there shall have been compliance with all applicable requirements of the securities exchange on which stock of the same class is then listed and all other requirements of Federal and state law or of any regulatory bodies having jurisdiction over such issuance and delivery. (c) Right of First Refusal. The Plan Administrator may also in its discretion establish as a term and condition of the issuance of one or more shares of Common Stock under the Stock Issuance Program that the Corporation shall have a right of first refusal with respect to any proposed disposition by the Participant (or any successor in interest by reason of purchase, gift or other mode of transfer) of one or more shares of such Common Stock. Such right of first refusal shall be exercisable by the Corporation (or its assignees) in accordance with the terms and conditions specified in the instrument evidencing such right. ARTICLE IV MISCELLANEOUS Section 7. Stock Legend. Each certificate representing shares of Common Stock (or other securities) issued pursuant to the Plan may bear a restrictive legend substantially as follows: (1) "This certificate and the shares represented hereby may not be sold, assigned, transferred, encumbered, or in any manner disposed of except in conformity with the terms of written agreements between the Corporation and the registered holder of the shares (or the predecessor in interest to the shares). Upon written request, the Corporation will furnish without charge a copy of such agreements to the holder hereof." Section 8. LOANS (a) The Plan Administrator, in its discretion, may assist any Optionee or Participant (including an Optionee or Participant who is an officer or director of the Corporation) in the exercise of one or more options granted to such Optionee under the Article II Option Grant Program or the purchase of one or more shares issued to such Participant under the Article III Stock Issuance Program, including the satisfaction of any Federal and State income and employment tax obligations arising therefrom, by (1) authorizing the extension of a loan from the Corporation to such Optionee or Participant, or (2) permitting the Optionee or Participant to pay the option price or purchase price for the purchased Common Stock in installments over a period of years. (b) The terms of any loan or installment method of payment (including the interest rate and terms of repayment applicable thereto) shall be established by the Plan Administrator. Loans or installment payments may be granted with or without security or collateral; provided, that any loan made to a consultant or other non-employee advisor must be secured by property other than the purchased shares of Common Stock. In all events the maximum credit available to each Optionee or Participant may not exceed the sum of (i) the aggregate option O-10 price or purchase price payable for the purchased shares (less the par value of such shares rounded up to the nearest whole cent) plus (ii) any Federal and State income and employment tax liability incurred by the Optionee or Participant in connection with such exercise or purchase. (c) The Plan Administrator, in its discretion, may determine that one or more loans extended under the financial assistance program shall be subject to forgiveness by the Corporation in whole or in part upon such terms and conditions as the Board deems appropriate. Section 9. AMENDMENT OF THE PLAN AND AWARDS (a) The Board shall have complete and exclusive power and authority to amend or modify the Plan in any or all respects whatsoever; provided, that no such amendment or modification shall adversely affect the rights and obligations of an Optionee with respect to options at the time outstanding under the Plan, nor adversely affect the rights of any Participant with respect to Common Stock issued under the Plan prior to such action, unless the Optionee or Participant consents to such amendment. In addition, the Board shall not, without the approval of the Corporation's shareholders, amend the Plan to (i) materially increase the maximum number of shares issuable under the Plan (except for permissible adjustments under Article I, Section 5(c)), (ii) materially increase the benefits accruing to individuals who participate in the Plan, or (iii) materially modify the eligibility requirements for participation in the Plan. (b) Options to purchase shares of Common Stock may be granted under the Option Grant Program and shares of Common Stock may be issued under the Stock Issuance Program, which in both instances are in excess of the number of shares then available for issuance under the Plan, provided any excess shares actually issued under the Option Grant Program or the Stock Issuance Program are held in escrow until the Corporation's shareholders approve an amendment that sufficiently increases the number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the Plan. If such shareholder approval is not obtained within twelve (12) months after the date the initial excess stock option grants or direct stock issuances are made, then any unexercised options representing such excess shall terminate and cease to be exercisable and the Corporation shall promptly refund to the Optionees and Participants the option or purchase price paid for any excess shares issued under the Plan and held in escrow, together with interest (at the applicable Short Term Federal Rate) thereon for the period the shares were held in escrow. Section 10. EFFECTIVE DATE AND TERM OF PLAN (a) The Plan shall become effective when adopted by the Board, but no option granted under the Plan shall become exercisable, and no shares shall be issuable under the Stock Issuance Program, unless and until the Plan shall have been approved by the Corporation's shareholders. If such shareholder approval is not obtained within twelve (12) months after the date of the Board's adoption of the Plan, then all options previously granted under the Plan shall terminate, and no further options shall be granted and no shares shall be issued under the Stock Issuance Program. Subject to such limitation, the Plan Administrator may grant options under the Plan at any time after the effective date and before the date fixed herein for termination of the Plan. (b) The Plan shall terminate upon the earlier of (i) ten years after the adoption of the Plan or (ii) the date on which all shares available for issuance under the Plan have been issued or canceled pursuant to the exercise of options granted under Article II or the issuance of shares under Article III. If the date of termination is determined under clause (i) above, then no options outstanding on such date under Article II and no shares issued and outstanding on such date under Article III shall be affected by the termination of the Plan, and such securities shall thereafter continue to have force and effect in accordance with the provisions of the stock option agreements evidencing such Article II options and the stock purchase agreements evidencing the issuance of such Article III shares. Section 11. USE OF PROCEEDS Any cash proceeds received by the Corporation from the issuance of shares of Common Stock under the Plan shall be used for general corporate purposes. O-11 Section 12. WITHHOLDING The Corporation's obligation to deliver shares upon the exercise of any options granted under Article II or upon the purchase of any shares issued under Article III shall be subject to the satisfaction of all applicable Federal, state and local income and employment tax withholding requirements. Section 13. REGULATORY APPROVALS The implementation of the Plan, the granting of any options under the Option Grant Program, the issuance of any shares under the Stock Issuance Program, and the issuance of Common Stock upon the exercise of the option grants made hereunder shall be subject to the Corporation's procurement of all approvals and permits required by regulatory authorities having jurisdiction over the Plan, the options granted under it, and the Common Stock issued pursuant to it. Section 14. ACCELERATION OF EXERCISABILITY AND VESTING The Board shall have the power to accelerate the time at which a Stock Award may first be exercised or the time during which a Stock Award or any part thereof will vest in accordance with the Plan, notwithstanding the provisions in the Stock Award stating the time at which it may first be exercised or the time during which it will vest. ARTICLE V CHANGE IN CONTROL OR CORPORATE TRANSACTIONS (a) Dissolution or Liquidation. In the event of a dissolution or liquidation of the Corporation, then all outstanding Options shall terminate immediately prior to such event. (b) Certain Changes in Control. In the event of (i) a sale, lease or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation, (ii) a merger or consolidation in which the Corporation is not the surviving corporation or (iii) a reverse merger in which the Corporation is the surviving corporation but the shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately preceding the merger are converted by virtue of the merger into other property, whether in the form of securities, cash or otherwise (collectively, a "Change in Control" or "Corporate Transaction"), then any surviving corporation or acquiring corporation may assume or continue any Stock Awards outstanding under the Plan or may substitute similar stock awards (including an award to acquire the same consideration paid to the shareholders in the transaction described in this paragraph) for those outstanding under the Plan. In the event any surviving corporation or acquiring corporation refuses to assume or continue such Stock Awards or to substitute similar stock awards for those outstanding under the Plan, then with respect to Stock Awards held by Participants whose Service has not terminated, the vesting of such Stock Awards (and, if applicable, the time during which such Stock Awards may be exercised) shall be accelerated in full, and the Stock Awards shall terminate if not exercised (if applicable) at or prior to such event. With respect to any other Stock Awards outstanding under the Plan, such Stock Awards shall terminate if not exercised (if applicable) prior to such event. (c) Termination of Service Following a Change in Control. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Stock Award Agreement, in the event of the occurrence of a Change in Control and provided that a participant's Stock Award remains in effect following such Change in Control or is assumed, continued or substituted for any similar stock award in connection with the Change in Control, then, if such participant's Service is terminated by the Corporation without Cause within thirteen (13) months following the effective date of the Change in Control, all Stock Awards held by such participant (or any substituted stock awards) shall, as of the date of such termination of Service, vest in full and become fully exercisable (if applicable) to the extent not previously vested or exercisable. Such Stock Awards shall remain exercisable until they expire in accordance with their terms. For the purposes of this section, Cause shall have the same meaning as is defined in Article II, Section 1(c)(4). (d) Securities Acquisition. In the event of an acquisition by any person, entity or group within the meaning of Section 13(d) or 14(d) of the Exchange Act, or any comparable successor provisions (excluding any employee benefit plan, or related trust, sponsored or maintained by the Corporation or an Affiliate) O-12 of the beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act, or comparable successor rule) of securities of the Corporation representing at least fifty percent (50%) of the combined voting power entitled to vote in the election of Corporation's Board of Directors, then with respect to Stock Awards held by Participants whose Service has not terminated, the vesting of such Stock Awards (and, if applicable, the time during which such Stock Awards may be exercised) shall be accelerated in full. Such Stock Awards shall remain exercisable until they expire in accordance with their terms. (e) Parachute Payments. If any payment or benefit a Participant would receive in connection with a Change in Control from the Corporation or otherwise ("Payment") would (i) constitute a "parachute payment" within the meaning of Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), and (ii) but for this sentence, be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the "Excise Tax"), then such Payment shall be reduced to the Reduced Amount. The "Reduced Amount" shall be either (x) the largest portion of the Payment that would result in no portion of the Payment being subject to the Excise Tax or (y) the largest portion, up to and including the total, of the Payment, whichever amount, after taking into account all applicable federal, state and local employment taxes, income taxes, and the Excise Tax (all computed at the highest applicable marginal rate), results in Participant's receipt, on an after-tax basis, of the greater amount of the Payment notwithstanding that all or some portion of the Payment may be subject to the Excise Tax. If a reduction in payments or benefits constituting "parachute payments" is necessary so that the Payment equals the Reduced Amount, reduction shall occur in the following order unless the Participant elects in writing a different order (provided, however, that such election shall be subject to Corporation approval if made on or after the effective date of the Change of Control): reduction of cash payments; cancellation of accelerated vesting of stock awards; reduction of employee benefits. In the event that acceleration of vesting of stock award compensation is to be reduced, such acceleration of vesting shall be cancelled in the reverse order of the date of grant of the Participant's stock awards unless the Participant elects in writing a different order for cancellation. The accounting firm engaged by the Corporation for general audit purposes as of the day prior to the effective date of the Change in Control shall perform the foregoing calculations. If the accounting firm so engaged by the Corporation is serving as accountant or auditor for the individual, entity or group effecting the Change in Control, the Corporation shall appoint a nationally recognized accounting firm to make the determinations required hereunder. The Corporation shall bear all expenses with respect to the determinations by such accounting firm required to be made hereunder. The accounting firm engaged to make the determinations hereunder shall provide its calculations, together with detailed supporting documentation, to the Corporation and Participant within fifteen (15) calendar days after the date on which Participant's right to a Payment arises (if requested at that time by the Corporation or Participant) or at such other time as requested by the Corporation or Participant. If the accounting firm determines that no Excise Tax is payable with respect to a Payment, either before or after the application of the Reduced Amount, it shall furnish the Corporation and Participant with an opinion reasonably acceptable to Participant that no Excise Tax will be imposed with respect to such Payment. Any good faith determination of the accounting firm made hereunder shall be final, binding and conclusive upon the Corporation and Participant.

The Board shall have the power, subject to, and within the limitations of, the express provisions of the Plan: (i) To determine from time to time which of the persons eligible under the Plan shall be granted Stock Awards; when and how each Stock Award shall be granted; what type or combination of types of Stock Award shall be granted; the provisions of each Stock Award granted (which need not be identical), including the time or times when a person shall be permitted to receive Common Stock pursuant to a Stock Award; and the number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which a Stock Award shall be granted to each such person. (ii) To construe and interpret the Plan and Stock Awards granted under it, and to establish, amend and revoke rules and regulations for its administration.

P-3 (b) Reversion of Shares to the Share Reserve. If any Stock Award shall for any reason expire or otherwise terminate, in whole or in part, without having been exercised in full, the shares of Common Stock not acquired under such Stock Award shall revert to and again become available for issuance under the Plan. (c) Source of Shares. The shares of Common Stock subject to the Plan may be unissued shares or reacquired shares, bought on the market or otherwise. 5. ELIGIBILITY. (a) Stock Awards may be granted only to Employees and Consultants. However, notwithstanding any other provision herein to the contrary, no person shall be eligible for a Stock Award under the Plan (i) who holds a position of vice president or higher of the Company or an Affiliate, (ii) who would be considered an "officer" or " director" within the meaning of those terms under Rule 4460(i)(1)(A) of the National Association of Securities Dealers Manual (or such amended or successor rule), (iv) who would be considered a person subject to Section 16b of the Exchange Act (and regulations promulgated thereunder), or (v) whose eligibility would require approval of the Plan by the stockholders of the Company under any law or regulation or the rules of any stock exchange or market system upon which the Common Stock may then be listed. If not inconsistent with any such law, regulation or rule, a Stock Award may be granted to a person, not previously employed by the Company or an Affiliate, as an inducement essential to entering into an employment contract with the Company or an Affiliate. (b) A Consultant shall not be eligible for the grant of a Stock Award if, at the time of grant, a Form S-8 Registration Statement under the Securities Act ("Form S-8") is not available to register either the offer or the sale of the Company's securities to such Consultant because of the nature of the services that the Consultant is providing to the Company, or because the Consultant is not a natural person, or as otherwise provided by the rules governing the use of Form S-8, unless the Company determines both (i) that such grant (A) shall be registered in another manner under the Securities Act (e.g., on a Form S-3 Registration Statement) or (B) does not require registration under the Securities Act in order to comply with the requirements of the Securities Act, if applicable, and (ii) that such grant complies with the securities laws of all other relevant jurisdictions. 6. OPTION PROVISIONS. Each Option shall be in such form and shall contain such terms and conditions as the Board shall deem appropriate. No Option shall be an Incentive Stock Option. The provisions of separate Options need not be identical, but each Option shall include (through incorporation of provisions hereof by reference in the Option or otherwise) the substance of each of the following provisions: (a) Term. No Option shall be exercisable after the expiration of ten (10) years from the date it was granted. (b) Exercise Price of an Option. The exercise price of each Option shall be not less than eighty-five percent (85%) of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock subject to the Option on the date the Option is granted. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Option may be granted with an exercise price lower than that set forth in the preceding sentence if such Option is granted pursuant to an assumption or substitution for another option in a manner satisfying the provisions of Section 424(a) of the Code. (c) Consideration. The purchase price of Common Stock acquired pursuant to an Option shall be paid, to the extent permitted by applicable statutes and regulations, either (i) in cash at the time the Option is exercised or (ii) at the discretion of the Board (1) by delivery to the Company of other Common Stock, (2) according to a deferred payment or other similar arrangement with the Optionholder or (3) in any other form of legal consideration that may be acceptable to the Board. Unless otherwise specifically provided in the Option, the purchase price of Common Stock acquired pursuant to an Option that is paid by delivery to the Company of other Common Stock acquired, directly or indirectly from the Company, shall be paid only by shares of the Common Stock of the Company that have been held for more than six (6) months (or such longer or shorter period of time required to avoid a charge to earnings for financial accounting purposes). At any time that the Company is P-4 incorporated in Delaware, payment of the Common Stock's "par value," as defined in the Delaware General Corporation Law, shall not be made by deferred payment. In the case of any deferred payment arrangement, interest shall be compounded at least annually and shall be charged at the minimum rate of interest necessary to avoid the treatment as interest, under any applicable provisions of the Code, of any amounts other than amounts stated to be interest under the deferred payment arrangement. (d) Transferability of an Option. An Option shall be transferable to the extent provided in the Option Agreement. If the Option does not provide for transferability, then the Option shall not be transferable except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution and shall be exercisable during the lifetime of the Optionholder only by the Optionholder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Optionholder may, by delivering written notice to the Company, in a form satisfactory to the Company, designate a third party who, in the event of the death of the Optionholder, shall thereafter be entitled to exercise the Option. (e) Vesting Generally. The total number of shares of Common Stock subject to an Option may, but need not, vest and therefore become exercisable in periodic installments that may, but need not, be equal. The Option may be subject to such other terms and conditions on the time or times when it may be exercised (which may be based on performance or other criteria) as the Board may deem appropriate. The vesting provisions of individual Options may vary. The provisions of this subsection 6(e) are subject to any Option provisions governing the minimum number of shares of Common Stock as to which an Option may be exercised. (f) Termination of Continuous Service. In the event an Optionholder's Continuous Service terminates (other than upon the Optionholder's death or Disability), the Optionholder may exercise his or her Option (to the extent that the Optionholder was entitled to exercise such Option as of the date of termination) but only within such period of time ending on the earlier of (i) the date three (3) months following the termination of the Optionholder's Continuous Service (or such longer or shorter period specified in the Option Agreement), or (ii) the expiration of the term of the Option as set forth in the Option Agreement. If, after termination, the Optionholder does not exercise his or her Option within the time specified in the Option Agreement, the Option shall terminate. (g) Extension of Termination Date. An Optionholder's Option Agreement may also provide that if the exercise of the Option following the termination of the Optionholder's Continuous Service (other than upon the Optionholder's death or Disability) would be prohibited at any time solely because the issuance of shares of Common Stock would violate the registration requirements under the Securities Act, then the Option shall terminate on the earlier of (i) the expiration of the term of the Option set forth in subsection 6(a) or (ii) the expiration of a period of three (3) months after the termination of the Optionholder's Continuous Service during which the exercise of the Option would not be in violation of such registration requirements. (h) Disability of Optionholder. In the event that an Optionholder's Continuous Service terminates as a result of the Optionholder's Disability, the Optionholder may exercise his or her Option (to the extent that the Optionholder was entitled to exercise such Option as of the date of termination), but only within such period of time ending on the earlier of (i) the date twelve (12) months following such termination (or such longer or shorter period specified in the Option Agreement) or (ii) the expiration of the term of the Option as set forth in the Option Agreement. If, after termination, the Optionholder does not exercise his or her Option within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate. (i) Death of Optionholder. In the event (i) an Optionholder's Continuous Service terminates as a result of the Optionholder's death or (ii) the Optionholder dies within the period (if any) specified in the Option Agreement after the termination of the Optionholder's Continuous Service for a reason other than death, then the Option may be exercised (to the extent the Optionholder was entitled to exercise such Option as of the date of death) by the Optionholder's estate, by a person who acquired the right to exercise the Option by bequest or inheritance or by a person designated to exercise the Option upon the Optionholder's death pursuant to subsection 6(d), but only within the period ending on the earlier of (1) the date eighteen (18) months following the date of death (or such longer or shorter period specified in the Option Agreement) or (2) the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Option Agreement. If, after death, the Option is not exercised within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate. P-5 (j) Early Exercise. The Option may, but need not, include a provision whereby the Optionholder may elect at any time before the Optionholder's Continuous Service terminates to exercise the Option as to any part or all of the shares of Common Stock subject to the Option prior to the full vesting of the Option. Any unvested shares of Common Stock so purchased may be subject to a repurchase option in favor of the Company or to any other restriction the Board determines to be appropriate. 7. PROVISIONS OF STOCK AWARDS OTHER THAN OPTIONS. (a) Stock Bonus Awards. Each stock bonus agreement shall be in such form and shall contain such terms and conditions as the Board shall deem appropriate. The terms and conditions of stock bonus agreements may change from time to time, and the terms and conditions of separate stock bonus agreements need not be identical, but each stock bonus agreement shall include (through incorporation of provisions hereof by reference in the agreement or otherwise) the substance of each of the following provisions: (i) Consideration. A stock bonus may be awarded in consideration for past services actually rendered to the Company or an Affiliate for its benefit. (ii) Vesting. Shares of Common Stock awarded under the stock bonus agreement may, but need not, be subject to a share repurchase option in favor of the Company in accordance with a vesting schedule to be determined by the Board. (iii) Termination of Participant's Continuous Service. In the event a Participant's Continuous Service terminates, the Company may reacquire any or all of the shares of Common Stock held by the Participant which have not vested as of the date of termination under the terms of the stock bonus agreement. (iv) Transferability. Rights to acquire shares of Common Stock under the stock bonus agreement shall be transferable by the Participant only upon such terms and conditions as are set forth in the stock bonus agreement, as the Board shall determine in its discretion, so long as Common Stock awarded under the stock bonus agreement remains subject to the terms of the stock bonus agreement. (b) Restricted Stock Awards. Each restricted stock purchase agreement shall be in such form and shall contain such terms and conditions as the Board shall deem appropriate. The terms and conditions of the restricted stock purchase agreements may change from time to time, and the terms and conditions of separate restricted stock purchase agreements need not be identical, but each restricted stock purchase agreement shall include (through incorporation of provisions hereof by reference in the agreement or otherwise) the substance of each of the following provisions: (i) Purchase Price. The purchase price under each restricted stock purchase agreement shall be such amount as the Board shall determine and designate in such restricted stock purchase agreement. The purchase price shall not be less than eighty-five percent (85%) of the Common Stock's Fair Market Value on the date such award is made or at the time the purchase is consummated. (ii) Consideration. The purchase price of Common Stock acquired pursuant to the restricted stock purchase agreement shall be paid either: (i) in cash at the time of purchase; (ii) at the discretion of the Board, according to a deferred payment or other similar arrangement with the Participant; or (iii) in any other form of legal consideration that may be acceptable to the Board in its discretion; provided, however, that at any time that the Company is incorporated in Delaware, then payment of the Common Stock's "par value," as defined in the Delaware General Corporation Law, shall not be made by deferred payment. (iii) Vesting. Shares of Common Stock acquired under the restricted stock purchase agreement may, but need not, be subject to a share repurchase option in favor of the Company in accordance with a vesting schedule to be determined by the Board. P-6 (iv) Termination of Participant's Continuous Service. In the event a Participant's Continuous Service terminates, the Company may repurchase or otherwise reacquire any or all of the shares of Common Stock held by the Participant which have not vested as of the date of termination under the terms of the restricted stock purchase agreement. (v) Transferability. Rights to acquire shares of Common Stock under the restricted stock purchase agreement shall be transferable by the Participant only upon such terms and conditions as are set forth in the restricted stock purchase agreement, as the Board shall determine in its discretion, so long as Common Stock awarded under the restricted stock purchase agreement remains subject to the terms of the restricted stock purchase agreement. 8. COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY. (a) Availability of Shares. During the terms of the Stock Awards, the Company shall keep available at all times the number of shares of Common Stock required to satisfy such Stock Awards. (b) Securities Law Compliance. The Company shall seek to obtain from each regulatory commission or agency having jurisdiction over the Plan such authority as may be required to grant Stock Awards and to issue and sell shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Stock Awards; provided, however, that this undertaking shall not require the Company to register under the Securities Act the Plan, any Stock Award or any Common Stock issued or issuable pursuant to any such Stock Award. If, after reasonable efforts, the Company is unable to obtain from any such regulatory commission or agency the authority which counsel for the Company deems necessary for the lawful issuance and sale of Common Stock under the Plan, the Company shall be relieved from any liability for failure to issue and sell Common Stock upon exercise of such Stock Awards unless and until such authority is obtained. 9. USE OF PROCEEDS FROM STOCK. Proceeds from the sale of Common Stock pursuant to Stock Awards shall constitute general funds of the Company. 10. MISCELLANEOUS. (a) Acceleration of Exercisability and Vesting. The Board shall have the power to accelerate the time at which a Stock Award may first be exercised or the time during which a Stock Award or any part thereof will vest in accordance with the Plan, notwithstanding the provisions in the Stock Award stating the time at which it may first be exercised or the time during which it will vest. (b) Stockholder Rights. No Participant shall be deemed to be the holder of, or to have any of the rights of a holder with respect to, any shares of Common Stock subject to such Stock Award unless and until such Participant has satisfied all requirements for exercise of the Stock Award pursuant to its terms. (c) No Employment or other Service Rights. Nothing in the Plan or any instrument executed or Stock Award granted pursuant thereto shall confer upon any Participant any right to continue to serve the Company or an Affiliate in the capacity in effect at the time the Stock Award was granted or shall affect the right of the Company or an Affiliate to terminate (i) the employment of an Employee with or without notice and with or without cause, (ii) the service of a Consultant pursuant to the terms of such Consultant's agreement with the Company or an Affiliate or (iii) the service of a Director pursuant to the Bylaws of the Company or an Affiliate, and any applicable provisions of the corporate law of the state in which the Company or the Affiliate is incorporated, as the case may be. (d) Investment Assurances. The Company may require a Participant, as a condition of exercising or acquiring Common Stock under any Stock Award, (i) to give written assurances satisfactory to the Company as to the Participant's knowledge and experience in financial and business matters and/or to employ a purchaser representative reasonably satisfactory to the Company who is knowledgeable and experienced in financial and business matters and that he or she is capable of evaluating, alone or together with the purchaser representative, P-7 the merits and risks of exercising the Stock Award; and (ii) to give written assurances satisfactory to the Company stating that the Participant is acquiring Common Stock subject to the Stock Award for the Participant's own account and not with any present intention of selling or otherwise distributing the Common Stock. The foregoing requirements, and any assurances given pursuant to such requirements, shall be inoperative if (1) the issuance of the shares of Common Stock upon the exercise or acquisition of Common Stock under the Stock Award has been registered under a then currently effective registration statement under the Securities Act or (2) as to any particular requirement, a determination is made by counsel for the Company that such requirement need not be met in the circumstances under the then applicable securities laws. The Company may, upon advice of counsel to the Company, place legends on stock certificates issued under the Plan as such counsel deems necessary or appropriate in order to comply with applicable securities laws, including, but not limited to, legends restricting the transfer of the Common Stock. (e) Withholding Obligations. To the extent provided by the terms of a Stock Award Agreement, the Participant may satisfy any federal, state or local tax withholding obligation relating to the exercise or acquisition of Common Stock under a Stock Award by any of the following means (in addition to the Company's right to withhold from any compensation paid to the Participant by the Company) or by a combination of such means: (i) tendering a cash payment; (ii) authorizing the Company to withhold shares of Common Stock from the shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable to the Participant as a result of the exercise or acquisition of Common Stock under the Stock Award, provided, however, that no shares of Common Stock are withheld with a value exceeding the minimum amount of tax required to be withheld by law; or (iii) delivering to the Company owned and unencumbered shares of Common Stock. 11. ADJUSTMENTS UPON CHANGES IN COMMON STOCK. (a) Capitalization Adjustments. If any change is made in the Common Stock subject to the Plan, or subject to any Stock Award, without the receipt of consideration by the Company (through merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization, reincorporation, stock dividend, dividend in property other than cash, stock split, liquidating dividend, combination of shares, exchange of shares, change in corporate structure or other transaction not involving the receipt of consideration by the Company), the Plan will be appropriately adjusted in the class(es) and maximum number of securities subject to the Plan pursuant to subsection 4(a) and the outstanding Stock Awards will be appropriately adjusted in the class(es) and number of securities and price per share of Common Stock subject to such outstanding Stock Awards. The Board shall make such adjustments, and its determination shall be final, binding and conclusive. (The conversion of any convertible securities of the Company shall not be treated as a transaction "without receipt of consideration" by the Company.) (b) Dissolution or Liquidation. In the event of a dissolution or liquidation of the Company, then all outstanding Stock Awards shall terminate immediately prior to such event. (c) Certain Changes in Control. In the event of (i) a sale, lease or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, (ii) a merger or consolidation in which the Company is not the surviving corporation or (iii) a reverse merger in which the Company is the surviving corporation but the shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately preceding the merger are converted by virtue of the merger into other property, whether in the form of securities, cash or otherwise (collectively, a "Change in Control"), then any surviving corporation or acquiring corporation may assume or continue any Stock Awards outstanding under the Plan or may substitute similar stock awards (including an award to acquire the same consideration paid to the shareholders in the transaction described in this subsection 11(c)) for those outstanding under the Plan. In the event any surviving corporation or acquiring corporation refuses to assume or continue such Stock Awards or to substitute similar stock awards for those outstanding under the Plan, then with respect to Stock Awards held by Participants whose Continuous Service has not terminated, the vesting of such Stock Awards (and, if applicable, the time during which such Stock Awards may be exercised) shall be accelerated in full, and the Stock Awards shall terminate if not exercised (if applicable) at or prior to such event. With respect to any other Stock Awards outstanding under the Plan, such Stock Awards shall terminate if not exercised (if applicable) prior to such event. (d) Termination of Service Following a Change in Control. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Stock Award Agreement, in the event of the occurrence of a Change in Control and provided that a Participant's Stock Award remains in effect following such Change in Control or is assumed, continued or P-8 substituted for any similar stock award in connection with the Change in Control, then, if such Participant's Continuous Service is terminated by the Company without Cause within thirteen (13) months following the effective date of the Change in Control, all Stock Awards held by such Participant (or any substituted stock awards) shall, as of the date of such termination of Continuous Service, vest in full and become fully exercisable (if applicable) to the extent not previously vested or exercisable. Such Stock Awards shall remain exercisable until they expire in accordance with their terms. (e) Securities Acquisition. In the event of an acquisition by any person, entity or group within the meaning of Section 13(d) or 14(d) of the Exchange Act, or any comparable successor provisions (excluding any employee benefit plan, or related trust, sponsored or maintained by the Company or an Affiliate) of the beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act, or comparable successor rule) of securities of the Company representing at least fifty percent (50%) of the combined voting power entitled to vote in the election of Directors, then with respect to Stock Awards held by Participants whose Continuous Service has not terminated, the vesting of such Stock Awards (and, if applicable, the time during which such Stock Awards may be exercised) shall be accelerated in full. Such Stock Awards shall remain exercisable until they expire in accordance with their terms. (f) Parachute Payments. If any payment or benefit Optionholder would receive in connection with a Change in Control from the Company or otherwise ("Payment") would (i) constitute a "parachute payment" within the meaning of Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), and (ii) but for this sentence, be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the "Excise Tax"), then such Payment shall be reduced to the Reduced Amount. The "Reduced Amount" shall be either (x) the largest portion of the Payment that would result in no portion of the Payment being subject to the Excise Tax or (y) the largest portion, up to and including the total, of the Payment, whichever amount, after taking into account all applicable federal, state and local employment taxes, income taxes, and the Excise Tax (all computed at the highest applicable marginal rate), results in Optionholder's receipt, on an after-tax basis, of the greater amount of the Payment notwithstanding that all or some portion of the Payment may be subject to the Excise Tax. If a reduction in payments or benefits constituting "parachute payments" is necessary so that the Payment equals the Reduced Amount, reduction shall occur in the following order unless the Optionholder elects in writing a different order (provided, however, that such election shall be subject to Company approval if made on or after the effective date of the Change of Control): reduction of cash payments; cancellation of accelerated vesting of stock awards; reduction of employee benefits. In the event that acceleration of vesting of stock award compensation is to be reduced, such acceleration of vesting shall be cancelled in the reverse order of the date of grant of the Optionholder's stock awards unless the Optionholder elects in writing a different order for cancellation. The accounting firm engaged by the Company for general audit purposes as of the day prior to the effective date of the Change in Control shall perform the foregoing calculations. If the accounting firm so engaged by the Company is serving as accountant or auditor for the individual, entity or group effecting the Change in Control, the Company shall appoint a nationally recognized accounting firm to make the determinations required hereunder. The Company shall bear all expenses with respect to the determinations by such accounting firm required to be made hereunder. The accounting firm engaged to make the determinations hereunder shall provide its calculations, together with detailed supporting documentation, to the Company and Optionholder within fifteen (15) calendar days after the date on which Optionholder's right to a Payment arises (if requested at that time by the Company or Optionholder) or at such other time as requested by the Company or Optionholder. If the accounting firm determines that no Excise Tax is payable with respect to a Payment, either before or after the application of the Reduced Amount, it shall furnish the Company and Optionholder with an opinion reasonably acceptable to Optionholder that no Excise Tax will be imposed with respect to such Payment. Any good faith determination of the accounting firm made hereunder shall be final, binding and conclusive upon the Company and Optionholder. 12. AMENDMENT OF THE PLAN AND STOCK AWARDS. (a) Amendment of Plan. The Board at any time, and from time to time, may amend the Plan. However, except as provided in Section 12 relating to adjustments upon changes in stock, no amendment shall be effective unless approved by the stockholders of the Company to the extent stockholder approval is necessary for P-9 the Plan to satisfy the requirements of Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act or any NASDAQ or securities exchange listing requirements. The Board may in its sole discretion submit such amendment to the Plan for stockholder approval. (b) No Impairment of Rights. Rights under any Stock Award granted before amendment of the Plan shall not be impaired by any amendment of the Plan unless (i) the Company requests the consent of the Participant and (ii) the Participant consents in writing. (c) Amendment of Stock Awards. The Board at any time, and from time to time, may amend the terms of any one or more Stock Awards; provided, however, that the rights under any Stock Award shall not be impaired by any such amendment unless (i) the Company requests the consent of the Participant and (ii) the Participant consents in writing. 13. TERMINATION OR SUSPENSION OF THE PLAN. (a) Plan Term. The Board may suspend or terminate the Plan at any time. Unless sooner terminated, the Plan shall terminate on the day before the tenth (10th) anniversary of the date the Plan is adopted by the Board. No Stock Awards may be granted under the Plan while the Plan is suspended or after it is terminated. (b) No Impairment of Rights. Suspension or termination of the Plan shall not impair rights and obligations under any Stock Award granted while the Plan is in effect except with the written consent of the Participant. 14. EFFECTIVE DATE OF PLAN. The Plan shall become effective as determined by the Board. 15. CHOICE OF LAW. The laws of the State of Washington shall govern all questions concerning the construction, validity and interpretation of this Plan, without regard to such state's conflict of laws rules.
