TheOur Compensation Committee annually reviews and determines both the cash and non-cash components of compensation paid to our directors and executive officers. In years past, the Compensation Committee has utilized information published by independent organizations, such as the American Electronics Association and Culpepper and Associates, for background information as to general compensation levels currently being offered in our industry. Our executive officers do not perform any role in determining or recommending the amount or form of executive or director compensation with the exception of our Chief Executive Officer, who is also a director, having input on compensation for executive officers other than himself. Our Compensation Committee administers our stock-based compensation plans. Our Compensation Committee does not have a charter.
 
Each committee has the power to engage independent legal, financial or other advisors, as it may deem necessary, without consulting or obtaining the approval of our Board of Directors or any of our officers.
 
Board Leadership Structure
 
Until recently, the roles of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer were held by the same individual.  However, effective in the second quarter of 2012, the Chairman of our Board is one of our independent directors.  We believe that having a non-executive Chairman acting in a leadership position to direct the meetings and procedures of the Board is beneficial to the Company and its employees.  Mr. Ledger’s deep experience advising companies with histories and financial make-ups similar to ours, and his ability to provide an independent perspective on issues, opportunities and challenges facing our company, makes him best positioned to develop agendas that ensure the Board’s time and attention are focused on matters which are critical to us, and conveys a clear, cohesive message of board independence and leadership to our employees and industry partners. The Board believes that this structure provides an efficient and effective
6
leadership model for our Company, facilitates efficient and open communication between our directors and management team, and helps to involve our other independent board members in Board activities and decision making.
 
Role of Board of Directors in Risk Oversight
 
One of the responsibilities of our Board is to review and evaluate the process used to assess major risks facing our company and to periodically review assessments prepared by our senior management of such risks, as well as options for their mitigation. Frequent interaction between our directors and members of senior management assist in this effort. Communications between our Board and senior management regarding long-term strategic planning and short-term operational practices include matters of material risk inherent in our business.
 
Our Board also plays an active role, as a whole and at the committee level, in overseeing management of our risks. Our entire Board of Directors is formally apprised at least annually of our enterprise risk management efforts. Our Board regularly reviews information regarding our credit, liquidity and operations, as well as the risks associated with each. Our Audit Committee is responsible for overseeing the management of financial and accounting risks. Our Compensation Committee is responsible for overseeing the management of risk-taking relating to executive compensation plans and arrangements. While each committee is responsible for the evaluation and management of such risks, our entire Board is regularly informed through committee reports.
 
Meetings of the Board of Directors and Committees
 
During 2011,2012, there were 1215 meetings of our Board of Directors, 45 meetings of our Audit Committee and 73 meetings of our Compensation Committee. Each then directorthen-director attended, either in person or by electronic means, all of the meetings of our Board of Directors and Board committees on which they served during 2011, with the exception of Steven Ledger, who was excused from one board meeting.2012.

Director Independence
 
Our Board of Directors has determined that each of our non-employee directors (August P. Klein, Gordon Watson, Steven Ledger, John Cronin, Sam M. Auriemma, and Michael Brochu), who collectively constitute a majority of our Board, meets the general independence criteria set forth in the NasdaqNASDAQ Marketplace rules. In addition, our Board has made a subjective determination as to each of the foregoing individuals that no relationships exist (including the relationship with ipCapital, or the consulting fee paid to Tamalpais Partners, that are described below under “Related-Party Transactions”) that, in the opinion of our Board, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director.

On October 11, 2011, we entered into anengaged ipCapital to assist us in the execution of our strategic decision to significantly strengthen, grow and commercially exploit our intellectual property assets.

Should we request ipCapital to perform all of these services, the cost to us will, in the aggregate be $440,000, which we expect would be expended over a continuous period of seven to nine months. In addition to thesethe fees we agreed to pay ipCapital for its services, we issued ipCapital a five-year warrant to purchase up to 400,000 shares of our common stock at an initial price of $0.26 per share.

Such performance was deemed satisfactory during 2012. We believe that these fees, together with the issuance of the warrant, constitute no greater compensation thatthan we would be required to pay to an unaffiliated person for substantially similar services.

Director Nominations and Qualifications for Director Nominee
 
As noted above, our Board of Directors has no nominating committee. Our Board has determined that given its relatively small size, the function of a nominating committee could be performed by our Board as a whole without unduly burdening the duties and responsibilities of our Board members. The nomination of the directors standing for election at the 20122013 Annual Meeting was unanimously approved by our Board of Directors.
 
Our Board does not have written guidelines regarding the qualifications or diversity of properly submitted stockholder candidates for membership on our Board as well as candidates submitted by current Board members and others. Qualifications for consideration as a new director nominee may vary according to the particular areas of expertise being sought as a complement to the existing Board composition. In reviewing nominations, our Board of Directors will consider, among other things, an individual’s business experience, industry experience, financial background, breadth of knowledge about issues affecting us, time available for meetings and consultation regarding company matters and other particular skills and experience possessed by the individual.

During the year ended December 31, 2011,2012, the Compensation Committee was comprised of Gordon Watson (Chairman), Michael Brochu and August Klein,John Cronin, each of whom is a non-employee director. August Klein was the committee chairman.
 
REPORT OF AUDIT COMMITTEE
 
The functions of our Audit Committee are focused on three areas:
 
·the adequacy of the internal controls and financial reporting process of GraphOn Corporation (the “Company”) and the reliability of its consolidated financial statements;
 
·the appointment, compensation, retention and oversight of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm; and
 
·the Company’s compliance with legal and regulatory requirements.
 
We operate under a written charter which has been approved by the Board of Directors. The Company has made the Audit Committee charter available on its website at www.GraphOn.com under the heading “Audit Committee Charter” found under “About GraphOn - Corp. Governance.”
 
We meet with management periodically to consider the adequacy of the Company’s internal controls and the objectivity of the Company’s financial reporting. We discuss these matters with the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm and with appropriate financial personnel. We periodically (at least annually) meet privately with both the independent registered public accounting firm and the Company’s financial personnel, each of whom has unrestricted access to us. We also appoint the independent registered public accounting firm and review their performance and independence from management. In addition, we review the Company’s financing plans.
 
Management is responsible for the financial reporting process, including the system of internal control, and the preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm is responsible for auditing those financial statements. Our responsibility is to monitor and review these processes. However, we are not professionally engaged in the practice of accounting or auditing and are not experts in the fields of
14
accounting or auditing, including with respect to auditor independence. We rely on, without independent verification, the information provided to us and on the representations made by management and the independent registered public accounting firm.
 
In this context, we held 45 meetings during 2011.2012. The meetings were designed, among other things, to facilitate and encourage communication among us, management, the internal accountants and the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal year 2011,2012, Macias Gini & O’Connell LLP (“MGO”). We discussed with MGO the overall scope and plans for their audit. We also met with MGO, with and without management present, to discuss the results of their audit and quarterly reviews and the Company’s internal controls. We reviewed and discussed the audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 20112012 with management and MGO.
 
We also discussed with MGO matters required to be discussed with audit committees under generally accepted auditing standards, including, among other things, matters related to the conduct of the audit of the Company’s consolidated financial statements and the matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, as amended (AICPA, Professional Standards, Vol. 1. AU section 380), as adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board in Rule 3200T.
 
We have received the written disclosures and the letter from MGO required by the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding the independent accountants’ communications with us concerning independence, and we discussed with MGO their independence from the Company. When considering MGO’s independence, we considered whether their provision of services to us beyond those rendered in connection with their audit and review of the Company’s consolidated financial statements was compatible with maintaining their independence. We also reviewed, among other things, the amount of fees paid to MGO for audit and non-audit services (primarily tax services).
 
18
Based on our review and these meetings, discussions and reports, and subject to the limitations on our role and responsibilities referred to above and in the Audit Committee charter, we recommended to the Board of Directors that the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 20112012 be included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
 
The Membersmembers of the Audit committee as of the filing of our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 20112012 were Sam Auriemma, August P. Klein and Steven Ledger;Ledger.  Mr. Auriemma joined the Audit Committee on August 15, 2012, Mr. Ledger joined the Audit Committee on August 6, 2011, and Mr. Klein joined the Audit Committee prior to January 1, 2011.

PROPOSAL II

APPROVAL OF THE15, 2012 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN
Overview
On September 28,on August 29, 2012.  Robert Dixon filed a Form 3 reporting a transaction on May 4, 2012 the Board of Directors adopted theon July 3, 2012. Sam Auriemma filed a Form 3 reporting a transaction on July 19, 2012 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2012 Plan”)on August 2, 2012 and now seeks shareholder approval of thefiled a Form 4 reporting a transaction on July 19, 2012 Plan at the Annual Meeting. A key objective of theon August 2, 2012.  Michael Brochu filed a Form 3 reporting a transaction on April 17, 2012 Plan is to provide more flexibility in the types of equity incentives that may be offered to employeeson April 23, 2012 and non-employee Directors and to ensure that certain types of awards, when properly structured, are treated as “performance-based” compensation under Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m). Shareholder approval is being sought solely for purposes of Section 162(m) and thefiled a Form 4 reporting a transaction on April 17, 2012 Plan and all awards thereunder shall remain valid whether or not such approval is obtained. The Company’s 2005 and 2008 Equity Incentive Plans (the “2005 and 2008 Plans”) provides for grants of options and restricted stock.  Other forms of equity incentives may be more advantageous to the Company and our shareholders and help our Company to be competitive in its efforts to attract, motivate and retain key talent. The 2012 Plan provides for several different types of equity awards in addition to stock options and restricted stock awards. The 2012 Plan is in substantially the form of Exhibit A.
The Board believes the 2012 Plan is necessary to give the Company flexibility to (i) attract and retain qualified non-employee directors, executives and other key employees and consultants with appropriate equity-based awards, (ii) motivate high levels of performance, (iii) recognize employee contributions to the Company’s success, and (iv) align the interests of plan participants with those of the Company’s shareholders. In addition, the Board believes a robust equity compensation program is necessary to provide the Company with flexibility in negotiating strategic acquisitions and other business relationships to further expand and grow our business.  In addition, the 2012 Plan provides the Board with the ability to grant stock options and other performance-based awards that are not subject to the $1 million deductible that applies to certain non-performance based compensation.  The Board did not have that ability under the 2005 and 2008 Plans.
The 2012 Plan reserves 5,700,000 shares for issuance plus the shares available for grant under the 2008 Equity Incentive Plan (1,780,493 as of August 15, 2012), plus the shares available for issuance under the 2005 Equity Incentive Plan (1,337,500 as of August 15, 2012) for an aggregate of 8,817,993 shares available for grant under the 2012 Plan.  No further grants will be made under the 2005 and 2008 Plans, but shares may continue to be issued under such plans pursuant to grants previously made.  The 8,817,993 shares reserved for issuance will serve as the underlying value for all equity awards under the 2012 Plan.
Summary of the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan
Background
Key employees of the Company currently have an opportunity to participate in the Company’s 2008 Equity Incentive Plan established in November 2008 and the Company’s 2005 Equity Incentive Plan established in December 2005 and approved by our shareholders on December 22, 2005. Options and restricted stock may be granted under the 2005 and 2008 Plans.  Prior to the 2005 Plan, equity awards were granted pursuant to the 1998 Stock Option/ Stock Issuance Plan and the 1996 Stock Option Plan, and other plans which allowed for incentive and nonqualified stock options.
The 2012 Plan provides for grants of stock options, stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), restricted stock and restricted stock units (sometimes referred to individually or collectively as “Awards”) to non-employee directors, employees and consultants of the Company and its subsidiaries. Stock options may be either “incentive stock options” (“ISOs”), as defined in Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or non-qualified stock options (“NQSOs”) or a combination thereof.
18

Plan Administration; Amendment and Termination
The Board, and/or one or more Committees, (“Administrator”) shall administer the 2012 Plan in accordance with applicable law. The Administrator may, amend, suspend or terminate any portion of the 2012 Plan for any reason, but must obtain the consent of affected Plan participants if any such action alters or impairs any obligations regarding Awards that have been granted. The 2012 Plan terminates in 2022. However, such termination will not affect Awards granted under the 2012 Plan prior to termination.
Reversion of Shares to the Plan
If any Award made under the 2012 Plan expires, or is forfeited or cancelled, the shares underlying such Awards shall become available for future Awards under the 2012 Plan.  In addition, any shares underlying an Award that are not issued upon the exercise or vesting of such Award shall become available for future Awards under the 2012 Plan (e.g., the exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right with the net gain settled in shares and the “net-share issuance” of an Award). 
Eligibility for Awards
Employees, consultants and non-employee directors of the Company or its subsidiaries may be granted Awards under the 2012 Plan. The Administrator determines which individuals will receive Awards, as well as the number and composition of each Award. Awards under the 2012 Plan may consist of a single type or any combination of the types of Awards permissible under the 2012 Plan as determined by the Administrator (or by the full Board in the case of Awards to non-employee directors). These decisions may be based on various factors, including a participant’s duties and responsibilities, the value of the participant’s past services, his/her potential contributions to the Company’s success, and other factors.
Exercise Price Limitations
The Administrator will determine the exercise price for the shares underlying each Award on the date the Award is granted in accordance with the terms of the 2012 Plan. The exercise price for shares under an ISO may not be less than 100% of fair market value on the date the Award is granted under Code Section 422. Similarly, under the terms of the 2012 Plan, the exercise price for SARs and NQSOs may not be less than 100% of fair market value on the date of grant. There is no minimum exercise price prescribed for restricted stock and restricted stock units awarded under the 2012 Plan.
Individual Grant Limits
No participant may be granted Awards in any one year to purchase more than an aggregate 2,000,000 shares. Such limitation is subject to proportional adjustment in connection with any change in the Company’s capitalization as described in the 2012 Plan.
Award Exercise; Payment of Exercise Price
The Administrator will determine when Awards become exercisable. However, no Award may have a term longer than 10 years from the date of grant, and no Award may be exercised after expiration of its term provided, however, that if an Incentive Stock Option is granted to an employee who, together with persons whose stock ownership is attributed to the employee pursuant to Section 424(d) of the Code, owns stock possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of the stock of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, the Incentive Stock Option may not be exercised after the expiration of five (5) years from the Grant Date. In its sole and absolute discretion, the Administrator will set the vesting provisions for the exercisability of each Award, which may include any combination of time-based or
19
performance-based vesting conditions.  The Administrator, in its discretion, may at any time accelerate the vesting of an Award.  Payment for any shares issued upon exercise of an Award shall be specified in each participant’s award agreement, and may be made by cash, check or other means specified in the 2012 Plan.
Tax Withholding
The Company shall have the right to deduct or withhold or require a participant to remit to the Company an amount sufficient to satisfy federal, state, local and any applicable foreign taxes (including FICA obligations, if applicable) required to be withheld with respect to the grant, exercise or vesting of any Award.
Effect of Termination, Death, or Disability
If a participant’s employment or consulting arrangement terminates for any reason, vesting of ISOs, NQSOs and SARs generally will cease as of the effective termination date. Participants generally have three months from their termination date to exercise vested unexercised options and SARs before they expire. Longer post-termination exercise periods apply in the event the termination of employment or cessation of service results from death or disability in the case of nonqualified stock options and stock appreciation rights. If a participant is dismissed for cause, the right to exercise shall generally terminate five business days following written notice from the Company.
Non-Transferability of Awards
Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, Awards granted under the 2012 Plan are not transferable other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and may be exercised by the participant only during the participant’s lifetime.
Stock Appreciation Rights
Under the 2012 Plan, SARs may be settled in shares or cash and must be granted with an exercise price not less than 100% of fair market value on the date of grant. Upon exercise of a SAR, a participant is entitled to receive cash or a number of shares equivalent in value to the difference between the fair market value on the exercise date and the exercise price of the SAR. For example, assume a participant is granted 100 SARs with an exercise price of $10 and assume the SARs are later exercised when the fair market value of the underlying shares is $20 per share. At exercise, the Participant is entitled to receive 50 shares [(($20-$10) x 100) / $20], or $1,000 in cash (50 x $20).
Restricted Stock
The 2012 Plan also permits the Company to grant restricted stock. The Administrator has discretion to establish periods of restriction during which shares awarded remain subject to forfeiture or the Company’s right to repurchase if the participant’s employment terminates for any reason (including death or disability). Restrictions may be based on the passage of time, the achievement of specific performance objectives, or other measures as determined by the Administrator in its discretion. During periods of restriction, a participant has the right to vote his/her restricted stock and to receive distributions and dividends, if any, but may not sell or transfer any such shares.
Restricted Stock Units
The 2012 Plan also permits the Company to grant restricted stock units that are payable in Company shares or in cash upon satisfaction of vesting conditions. Each restricted stock unit is equivalent in value to one share of the Company’s common stock. Depending on the number of restricted stock units that become vested at the end of the vesting period, the equivalent number of shares are payable to the participant, or the equivalent value in cash.
20
Performance-Base Awards

The 2012 Plan provides for both time-base or performance-based awards.  For performance-based awards, the performance goals may be based on the Company’s performance or in comparison with peer group performance objectives as determined by the Administrator.  The 2012 Plan is designed to permit the Company to pay compensation that qualifies as performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code.
Changes in Capitalization; Change of Control
The 2012 Plan provides for exercise price and quantity adjustments if the Company declares a stock dividend or stock split. Also, vesting or restriction periods may be accelerated if the Company merges with another entity that does not either assume the outstanding Awards or substitute equivalent Awards.
U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences
Option Grants
Options granted under the 2012 Plan may be either ISOs, which are intended to satisfy the requirements of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC), or NQSOs, which are not intended to meet those requirements. The federal income tax treatment for NQSOs and ISOs are summarized below.
Non-Qualified Stock Options
No taxable income is recognized by a participant upon the grant of an NQSO. Generally, the participant will recognize ordinary income in the year in which the option is exercised. The amount of ordinary income will equal the difference between the fair market value of the purchased shares on the exercise date compared to the grant date fair market value. The Company and the participant are required to satisfy the tax withholding requirements applicable to that income, unless the participant is a non-employee Director or consultant, in which case tax withholding is not required. The Company will be entitled to an income tax deduction equal to the amount of ordinary income recognized by the participant with respect to exercised NQSOs.
Incentive Stock Options
No taxable income is recognized by a participant upon the grant of an ISO. Generally, the participant will not recognize ordinary income in the year in which the option is exercised, although the participant’s gain from exercise may be subject to alternative minimum tax. If the participant sells the underlying shares acquired from the option within two years after the option grant date or within one year of the option exercise date, gain on that premature, “disqualifying” disposition will be treated as ordinary income to the extent of the lesser of: (1) the fair market value of the stock on the date of exercise minus the grant price, or (2) the amount realized on the disposition minus the grant price. The Company will be entitled to an income tax deduction that equals the amount of the participant’s compensatory ordinary income. If the participant does not make a disqualifying disposition, then the Company will not be entitled to a tax deduction.
Stock Appreciation Rights
No taxable income is recognized by a participant upon the grant of a SAR. The participant will recognize ordinary income in the year in which the SAR is exercised. The amount of ordinary income will be fair market value of the shares received or the cash payment. The Company and the participant are required to satisfy the applicable tax withholding requirements, unless the participant is a non-employee Director, where in such case tax withholding is not required. The Company will be entitled to an income tax deduction equal to the amount of ordinary income recognized by the participant with respect to exercised SARs.April 23, 2012.

PROPOSAL II
CHANGING THE COMPANY NAME TO HOPTO INC.
Our Board has unanimously approved and recommended to our stockholders an amendment to our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, as amended (“Certificate of Incorporation”), to change the Company’s name to hopTo Inc., subject to stockholder approval at the Annual Meeting. The tax principles applicableBoard believes it is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to change its corporate name to “hopTo Inc.” in order to more closely identify the Company with our “hopTo” brand of product offerings.  We believe the name change will more clearly communicate our business to our customers, vendors and other business partners, and to investors.
If this Proposal II is approved, our Board may (but is not required to) effect the change in the Company’s name without further stockholder approval. Even if this Proposal II is approved, our Board may decide not to effect the name change at all if it determines that the name change is not an effective course of action to achieve corporate objectives.  In the event the stockholders approve this Proposal II and the Board decides to proceed with the name change, the new name will become effective upon the filing of an amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. Changing the corporate name will be accomplished by amending Article I of our Certificate of Incorporation to read as follows:
“ARTICLE I.
The name of this corporation is hopTo Inc. (the “Corporation).”
Changing the corporate name will not affect the validity or transferability of stock certificates presently outstanding, and the Company’s stockholders will not be required to exchange any certificates presently held by them.
Vote Required
This Proposal II requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of our common stock. Stockholders may vote “for” or “against” the proposal, or they may abstain from voting on the proposal. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have the same effect as vote “against” this Proposal II. The proxy holders will vote your shares in accordance with your instructions. If you have not given specific instructions to the issuance of restrictedcontrary, your shares under the 2012 Plan will be substantiallyvoted “FOR” the sameapproval of this Proposal II.
Our Board will have sole discretion as those summarized above forto the exerciseexact timing of non-qualified stock optionsimplementing the change in the Company’s name. Our Board may also determine that they are both governed by Section 83the name change is no longer in the best interests of the IRC Code. Generally, whenCompany and its stockholders and decide to abandon the restriction lapses,name change, at any time before, during or after the participant will have ordinary income equalmeeting and prior to the difference between the fair market value of the shares on the vesting date and any amount paid for the shares. Alternatively, at the time of the grant, the participant may elect under Section 83(b) of the Code to include as ordinary income in the year of the grant, an amount equal to the difference between the fair market value of the granted shares on the grant date and any amount paid for the shares. If the IRC Section 83(b) election is made, the participant will not recognize any additional compensation income when the restriction lapses, but may have capital gain income or loss upon sale of the shares. The Company will be entitled to an income tax deduction equal to the ordinary income recognizedits effectiveness, without further action by the participant in the year in which the participant recognizes such income.stockholders.
 
Restricted Stock UnitsBoard Recommendation
 
Generally,Our Board Recommends a plan participant who is granted Restricted Stock Units will recognize ordinary incomeVote “FOR” Amendment of our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as Amended, to Change the Company’s name to hopTo Inc. as Described in the year payment occurs. The income recognized will generally be equal to the fair market value of the shares received or to the cash payment. The Company will generally be entitled to an income tax deduction equal to the income recognized by the participant on the payment date for the taxable year in which the ordinary income is recognized by the participant.
Deductibility of Executive Compensation
The Company intends that any compensation deemed paid by the Company in connection with the exercise of both ISOs and NQSOs granted with exercise prices equal to the fair market value of the shares on grant date will qualify as performance-based compensation not subject to IRC Section 162(m) $1 million limitation per covered individual on the deductibility of compensation paid to certain executive officers of the Company. A number of requirements must be met in order for particular compensation to so qualify, so there can be no assurance that such compensation under the Plan will be fully deductible in all circumstances.

(1)On November 19, 2008 our board of directors approved the 2008 Plan pursuant to which options or restricted stock may be granted to officers and other employees, non-employee directors and independent consultants and advisors who render services to the Company. The 2008 Plan was originally authorized to issue options or restricted stock for up to 3,000,000 shares of common stock. Under the 2008 Plan the exercise price of options granted is to be no less than 100% of the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date the option is granted.  The purchase price of performance-vested stock issued under the 2008 Plan shall also not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date the performance-vested stock is granted.  In the case of a restricted stock award, the entire number of shares subject to such award would be issued at the time of the grant and subject to vesting provisions based on time or performance conditions specified by our board of directors or an authorized committee of the board.  For awards based on time, should the grantee’s service to us end before full vesting occurred, all unvested shares would be forfeited and returned to us. In the case of awards granted with vesting provisions based on specific performance conditions, if those conditions are not met, then all shares would be forfeited and returned to us. Until forfeited, all shares issued under a performance vested stock award would be considered outstanding for dividend, voting and other purposes.  All options granted under the 2008 Plan are immediately exercisable by the optionee; however, there is a vesting period for the options.  The options vest, ratably, over a 33-month period, however no options vest until after three months from the date of the option grant.  The exercise price is immediately due upon exercise of the option.  Under the terms of the 2008 Plan, the exercise price of all options issued under the 2008 Plan would be equal to the fair market value of our common stock on the date of the grant.  Shares issued upon exercise of options are subject to our repurchase, which right lapses as the shares vest. The 2008 Plan will terminate no later than November 19, 2018.  As of December 31, 2011, options to purchase 9,469,194 shares were outstanding under the 2008 Plan, no restricted shares had been awarded, options to purchase 263,634 shares had been exercised, and 4,705,505 shares remained available for issuance.

23
(2)The supplemental stock option plan was approved by our board of directors in May 2000 and expired on April 30, 2010; thus, no options can be granted from this plan. Options were restricted to employees who were neither officers nor directors at the grant date. As of December 31, 2011, options to purchase 30,000 shares of common stock were outstanding.
Shareholder Approval
The Company is seeking shareholder approval of the 2012 Plan, including the shares reserved under the 2012 Plan. The Board believes that it is in the best interest of the Company to have a comprehensive equity incentive program. The 2012 Plan provides a meaningful opportunity for officers, directors, employees, consultants and other independent contractors to acquire a proprietary interest in the Company, thereby encouraging those individuals to remain in the Company’s service and more closely align their interests with those of the shareholders, and at the same time provide the Company with the flexibility to manage shareholder dilution. A copy of the 2012 Plan is attached hereto as Exhibit A.
Required Vote
The Company must receive the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of our common stock present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting to approve this proposal. If you are present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and abstain from voting on this proposal, it has the same effect as if you voted “AGAINST” the proposal.

Board recommendation
The Board unanimously recommends a vote FOR the adoption of the
2012 Equity Incentive Plan.

PROPOSAL III
REVERSE STOCK SPLIT
Our Board has unanimously approved and recommended to our stockholders an amendment to our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, as amended (“Certificate of Incorporation”), to effect a reverse stock split by a ratio of not less than one-for-two (1:2) and not greater than one-for-ten (1:10), with the exact ratio to be set as a whole number within this range determined by our Board and a related reduction in the authorized number of shares of our common stock based on one-half of the reverse stock split ratio set by the Board (except in the case of a one-for-two ratio in which case no adjustment to the number of authorized shares of Common Stock will be made) (collectively, the “Reverse Stock Split”). If this Proposal III is approved, our Board may (but is not required to) effect the Reverse Stock Split within one year of the date of the Annual Meeting without further stockholder approval. Even if this Proposal III is approved, our Board may decide not to effect the Reverse Stock Split at all if it determines that the Reverse Stock Split is not an effective course of action to achieve corporate objectives.
The Reverse Stock Split will have no effect on the par value of our common stock. The Company will pay cash in lieu of any fractional shares resulting from the Reverse Stock Split. The proposed form of amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation to implement the Reverse Stock Split is attached to this proxy statement as Annex A.
Reasons for the Reverse Stock Split
Our Board of Directors is submitting this Reverse Stock Split to our stockholders for approval with the primary intent of increasing the market price of our common stock to enhance our ability to meet the initial listing requirements of the NASDAQ Stock Market or NYSE MKT and to make our common stock more attractive to a broader range of institutional and other investors.   The Board also considered the need to adjust the number of authorized shares of our Common Stock and determined that an adjustment to the authorized number of shares of our Common Stock be made based on one-half of the reverse stock split ratio set by the Board with no adjustment made if the reverse stock ratio set by the Board is one-for-two.  We believe that effecting the Reverse Stock Split is in our and our stockholders' best interests.
We believe that the Reverse Stock Split will enhance our ability to obtain an initial listing on the NASDAQ Stock Market or NYSE MKT  The NASDAQ Stock Market requires, among other items, an initial bid price of least $4.00 per share or if certain financial and governance standards are achieved, a closing price on the OTC Bulletin Board of $3.00 (or $2.00 depending on the applicable listing standard) for five consecutive days and following initial listing, maintenance of a continued price of at least $1.00 per share. The NYSE MKT requires an initial listing bid price of $3.00 (or $2.00 depending on the applicable listing standard). Reducing the number of outstanding shares of our common stock should, absent other  factors, increase the per share market price of our common stock, although we cannot provide any assurance that our minimum bid price would remain following the Reverse Stock Split over the minimum bid price requirement of any such stock exchange.
Additionally, we believe that the Reverse Stock Split will make our common stock more attractive to a broader range of institutional and other investors, as we have been advised that the current market price of our common stock may affect its acceptability to certain institutional investors, professional investors and other members of the investing public.  Many brokerage houses and institutional investors have internal policies and practices that either prohibit them from investing in low-priced stocks or tend to discourage individual brokers from recommending low-priced stocks to their customers.  In addition, some of those policies and practices may function to make the processing of trades in low-priced stocks economically unattractive to brokers.  Moreover, because brokers' commissions on low-priced stocks generally represent a higher percentage of the stock price than commissions on higher-priced stocks, the current average price per share of common stock can result in individual stockholders paying transaction costs representing a higher percentage of their total share value than would be the case if the share price were substantially higher.  We believe that the Reverse Stock Split will make our common stock a more attractive and cost effective investment for many investors, which will enhance the liquidity of the holders of our common stock.
In order to provide maximum flexibility, we are submitting this proposal with a range of exchange ratios of not less than one-for-two (1:2) and not greater than one-for-ten (1:10). The need for the broad range is due to the volatility of the stock price which ranged from a high of $0.80 to a low of $0.11 during the twelve months prior to April 3, 2013.
23
We believe that enabling our Board to set the ratio within the stated range will provide us with the flexibility to implement the Reverse Stock Split in a manner designed to maximize the anticipated benefits for our stockholders. In determining whether to implement the Reverse Stock Split and selecting the exchange ratio, our Board will consider factors such as:
●
The initial listing standards of the NASDAQ Stock Market or NYSE MKT;

●The historical trading price and trading volume of our common stock;

●The then prevailing trading price and trading volume for our common stock;

●
The anticipated impact of the Reverse Stock Split on the trading price of and market for our common stock; and

●
Prevailing general market and economic conditions.
Reducing the number of outstanding shares of our common stock through a reverse stock split is intended, absent other factors, to increase the per share market price of our common stock. However, other factors, such as our financial results, market conditions and the market perception of our business may adversely affect the market price of our common stock. As a result, there can be no assurance that the Reverse Stock Split, if completed, will result in the intended benefits described above, that the market price of our common stock will increase following the Reverse Stock Split or that the market price of our common stock will not decrease in the future. Additionally, we cannot assure you that the market price per share of our common stock after a reverse stock split will increase in proportion to the reduction in the number of shares of our common stock outstanding before the Reverse Stock Split. Accordingly, the total market capitalization of our common stock after the Reverse Stock Split may be lower than the total market capitalization before the Reverse Stock Split.
Our Board will have sole discretion as to the exact timing and precise exchange ratio of the Reverse Stock Split within the range of ratios specified in this Proposal III for one year following the date of the Annual Meeting. Our Board may also determine that the Reverse Stock Split is no longer in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders and decide to abandon the Reverse Stock Split, at any time before, during or after the meeting and prior to its effectiveness, without further action by the stockholders.
Effect of the Reverse Split on Our Common Stock
Depending on the ratio for the Reverse Stock Split determined by our Board, a minimum of two and a maximum of ten shares of existing common stock will be combined into one new share of common stock.  In addition, the authorized number of shares of our common stock will be reduced based on one-half of the reverse stock split ratio set by the Board to the extent set forth in the table below.  For example, if the Board determines to set the ratio to combine six shares of existing common stock into one new share of common stock, the authorized number of shares of common stock will be amended to be one-third of the existing number of authorized shares (i.e., one-half of the adjustment to the outstanding shares in the reverse stock split).  No change will be made to the number of authorized shares of common stock if the reverse stock split ratio is set by the Board at two shares combined into one share.
24
The table below shows, as of April 1, 2013, the number of authorized shares of common stock and the approximate number of outstanding shares of common stock (excluding Treasury shares) that would result from the listed hypothetical reverse stock split ratios (without giving effect to the treatment of fractional shares) based on the 87,546,373 shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of such date and the 195,000,000 shares of common stock currently authorized:

1-for-99,727,37543,333,333
1-for-108,754,63739,000,000
The actual number of shares authorized and outstanding after giving effect to the Reverse Stock Split, if implemented, will depend on the Reverse Stock Split ratio that is ultimately determined by our Board.
The Reverse Stock Split will affect all holders of our common stock uniformly and will not affect any stockholder’s percentage ownership interest in us, except that, as described below in “— Fractional Shares,” record holders of common stock otherwise entitled to a fractional share as a result of the Reverse Stock Split will receive cash in lieu of such fractional share. In addition, the Reverse Stock Split will not affect any stockholder’s proportionate voting power (subject to the treatment of fractional shares).
The Reverse Stock Split may result in some stockholders owning “odd lots” of less than 100 shares of common stock. Odd lot shares may be more difficult to sell, and brokerage commissions and other costs of transactions in odd lots are generally somewhat higher than the costs of transactions in “round lots” of even multiples of 100 shares.
The Reverse Stock Split will result in the  number of authorized shares of capital stock being reduced based on the equivalent of one-half of the Reverse Stock Split ratio determined by the Board other than in the case of a one-for-two reverse split in which case no change will be made to the number of authorized shares of common stock.  Therefore, because the number of authorized shares will not be reduced by the same equivalent proportion as the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Reverse Stock Split will have the effect of an increase in the number of authorized but unissued shares of common stock. Authorized but unissued shares of our common stock and preferred stock are available for future issuance as may be determined by our Board without further action by our stockholders, unless stockholder approval is required by applicable law or securities exchange listing requirements in connection with a particular transaction. These additional shares may be issued in the future for a variety of corporate purposes including, but not limited to, raising additional capital, corporate acquisitions and equity incentive plans. Except for a stock split or stock dividend, future issuances of common shares will dilute the voting power and ownership of our existing stockholders and, depending on the amount of consideration received in connection with the issuance, could also reduce stockholders’ equity on a per share basis.
The Reverse Stock Split could, under certain circumstances, have an anti-takeover effect (for example, by enhancing our ability to approve future issuances that could dilute the stock ownership of a person seeking to effect a change in the composition of our Board of Directors or contemplating a tender offer or other transaction involving the Company with another company). This Proposal III is not being made in response to any effort of which the Board of Directors is aware to accumulate shares of our common stock or obtain control of the Company nor does the Company currently have any plans, proposals or arrangements to issue for any purpose, including future acquisitions or financings, any of the newly available authorized shares of common stock resulting from a change in the authorized shares.
25
Procedure for Implementing the Reverse Stock Split
The Reverse Stock Split, if approved by our stockholders, would become effective upon the filing (the “Effective Time”) of a certificate of amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. The exact timing of the filing of the certificate of amendment that will effect the Reverse Stock Split will be determined by our Board based on its evaluation as to when such action will be the most advantageous to us and our stockholders. In addition, our Board reserves the right, notwithstanding stockholder approval and without further action by the stockholders, to elect not to proceed with the Reverse Stock Split if, at any time prior to filing the amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation, our Board, in its sole discretion, determines that it is no longer in our best interest and the best interests of our stockholders to proceed with the Reverse Stock Split. If a certificate of amendment effecting the Reverse Stock Split has not been filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware by the close of business on the first anniversary of the Annual Meeting, our Board will abandon the Reverse Stock Split.
After the Effective Time, our common stock will have a new Committee on Uniform Securities Identification Procedures (“CUSIP”) number, which is a number used to identify our equity securities, and stock certificates with the older CUSIP number will need to be exchanged for stock certificates with the new CUSIP number by following the procedures described below.
Beneficial Holders of Common Stock (i.e., stockholders who hold in street name)
Upon the implementation of the Reverse Stock Split, we intend to treat shares held by stockholders through a bank, broker, custodian or other nominee in the same manner as registered stockholders whose shares are registered in their names. Banks, brokers, custodians or other nominees will be instructed to effect the Reverse Stock Split for their beneficial holders holding our common stock in street name. However, these banks, brokers, custodians or other nominees may have different procedures than registered stockholders for processing the Reverse Stock Split. Stockholders who hold shares of our common stock with a bank, broker, custodian or other nominee and who have any questions in this regard are encouraged to contact their banks, brokers, custodians or other nominees.
Registered “Book-Entry” Holders of Common Stock (i.e., stockholders that are registered on the transfer agent’s books and records but do not hold stock certificates)
Certain of our registered holders of common stock may hold some or all of their shares electronically in book-entry form with the transfer agent. These stockholders do not have stock certificates evidencing their ownership of the common stock. They are, however, provided with a statement reflecting the number of shares registered in their accounts.
Stockholders who hold shares electronically in book-entry form with the transfer agent will not need to take action (the exchange will be automatic) to receive whole shares of post-Reverse Stock Split common stock, subject to adjustment for treatment of fractional shares.
Exchange of Stock Certificates and Elimination of Fractional Share Interests
As soon as practicable after filing the certificate of amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation effecting a Reverse Stock Split with the Secretary of State of Delaware, stockholders will receive instructions for the exchange of their common stock certificates for new certificates representing the appropriate number of shares of common stock after the Reverse Stock Split. However, if permitted, the Company may elect to effect the exchange in the ordinary course of trading as certificates are returned for transfer. In either event, each current certificate representing shares of common stock will until so exchanged be deemed for all corporate purposes after the filing date to evidence ownership of our common stock in the proportionately reduced number. An exchange agent may be appointed to act for stockholders in effecting the exchange of their certificates.
26
Stockholders should NOT destroy any stock certificates or submit their stock certificates now. You should submit them only after you receive instructions from us or our exchange agent.
No service charges, brokerage commissions or transfer taxes will be payable by any stockholder, except that if any new stock certificates are to be issued in a name other than that in which the surrendered certificate(s) are registered it will be a condition of such issuance that (1) the person requesting such issuance pays all applicable transfer taxes resulting from the transfer (or prior to transfer of such certificate, if any) or establishes to our satisfaction that such taxes have been paid or are not payable, (2) the transfer complies with all applicable federal and state securities laws, and (3) the surrendered certificate is properly endorsed and otherwise in proper form for transfer.
Fractional Shares
We do not currently intend to issue fractional shares in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. Therefore, we will not issue certificates representing fractional shares. In lieu of issuing fractions of shares, we intend to pay cash as follows:
●
If a stockholder’s shares are held in street name, payment for the fractional shares will be deposited directly into the stockholder’s account with the organization holding the stockholder’s shares.
●
If the stockholder’s shares are registered directly in the stockholder’s name, payment for the fractional shares will be made by check, sent to the stockholder directly from our transfer agent upon receipt of the properly completed and executed transmittal letter and original stock certificates.
●
The amount of cash to be paid for fractional shares will be equal to the product obtained by multiplying:
●
The average closing price of our common stock as reported by the OTC Bulletin Board for the five trading days immediately preceding the date of the Reverse Stock Split, or if our common stock is not at such time traded on the OTC Bulletin Board, then as reported on the primary trading market for our common stock;
●
The amount of the fractional share.
Those stockholders who hold less than the number of shares set forth in the Reverse Stock Split ratio would be eliminated as a result of the payment of fractional shares in lieu of any fractional share interest in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. The Board reserves the right to aggregate all fractional shares for cash and arrange for their sale, with the aggregate proceeds from such sale being distributed to the holders of fractional shares on a pro rata basis.
Effect of the Reverse Stock Split on Employee Plans, Options, Restricted Stock Awards and Units, Warrants, and Convertible or Exchangeable Securities
Based upon the reverse stock split ratio determined by our Board, proportionate adjustments are generally required to be made to the per share exercise price and the number of shares issuable upon the exercise or conversion of all outstanding options, warrants, convertible or exchangeable securities entitling the holders to purchase, exchange for, or convert into, shares of common stock. This would result in approximately the same aggregate price being required to be paid under such options, warrants, convertible or exchangeable securities upon exercise, and approximately the same value of shares of common stock being delivered upon such exercise, exchange or conversion, immediately following the Reverse Stock Split as was the case immediately preceding the Reverse Stock Split. The number of shares deliverable upon settlement or vesting of restricted stock awards will be similarly adjusted, subject to our treatment of fractional shares. The number of shares reserved for issuance pursuant to these securities will be proportionately based upon the reverse stock split ratio determined by the Board, subject to our treatment of fractional shares.
27
Accounting Matters
This proposed amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation will not affect the par value of our common stock per share, which will remain $0.0001 par value per share. As a result, as of the Effective Time, the stated capital attributable to common stock will be proportionately reduced based on the applicable ratio used in the Reverse Stock Split and the additional paid-in capital account on our balance sheet will not be materially affected due to the Reverse Stock Split. Reported per share net income or loss will be higher because there will be fewer shares of common stock outstanding.
Certain Federal Income Tax Consequences
The following summary describes certain material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Reverse Stock Split to holders of our common stock.
Unless otherwise specifically indicated herein, this summary addresses the tax consequences only to a beneficial owner of our common stock that is a citizen or individual resident of the United States, a corporation organized in or under the laws of the United States or any state thereof or the District of Columbia or otherwise subject to U.S. federal income taxation on a net income basis in respect of our common stock (a “U.S. holder”). A trust may also be a U.S. holder if (1) a U.S. court is able to exercise primary supervision over administration of such trust and one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (2) it has a valid election in place to be treated as a U.S. person. An estate whose income is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source may also be a U.S. holder.
This summary does not address all of the tax consequences that may be relevant to any particular investor, including tax considerations that arise from rules of general application to all taxpayers or to certain classes of taxpayers or that are generally assumed to be known by investors. This summary also does not address the tax consequences to (i) persons that may be subject to special treatment under U.S. federal income tax law, such as banks, insurance companies, thrift institutions, regulated investment companies, real estate investment trusts, tax-exempt organizations, U.S. expatriates, persons subject to the alternative minimum tax, traders in securities that elect to mark to market and dealers in securities or currencies, (ii) persons that hold our common stock as part of a position in a “straddle” or as part of a “hedging,” “conversion” or other integrated investment transaction for federal income tax purposes, or (iii) persons that do not hold our common stock as “capital assets” (generally, property held for investment). If a partnership (or other entity classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) is the beneficial owner of our common stock, the U.S. federal income tax treatment of a partner in the partnership will generally depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. Partnerships that hold our common stock, and partners in such partnerships, should consult their own tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Reverse Stock Split.
This summary is based on the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, U.S. Treasury regulations, administrative rulings and judicial authority, all as in effect as of the date of this proxy statement. Subsequent developments in U.S. federal income tax law, including changes in law or differing interpretations, which may be applied retroactively, could have a material effect on the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Reverse Stock Split.
PLEASE CONSULT YOUR OWN TAX ADVISOR REGARDING THE U.S. FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL, AND FOREIGN INCOME AND OTHER TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE REVERSE STOCK SPLIT IN YOUR PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES UNDER THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE AND THE LAWS OF ANY OTHER TAXING JURISDICTION.
28
The Reverse Stock Split should be treated as a recapitalization for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Therefore, a stockholder generally will not recognize gain or loss on the Reverse Stock Split, except to the extent of cash, if any, received in lieu of a fractional share interest in the post-Reverse Stock Split shares. The aggregate tax basis of the post-split shares received will be equal to the aggregate tax basis of the pre-split shares exchanged therefore (excluding any portion of the holder’s basis allocated to fractional shares), and the holding period of the post-split shares received will include the holding period of the pre-split shares exchanged.
A holder of the pre-split shares who receives cash will generally recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between the portion of the tax basis of the pre-split shares allocated to the fractional share interest and the cash received. Such gain or loss will be a capital gain or loss and will be short term if the pre-split shares were held for one year or less and long term if held more than one year.
No gain or loss will be recognized by us as a result of the Reverse Stock Split.
No Appraisal Rights
Stockholders have no rights under Delaware law or under our charter documents to exercise dissenters’ rights of appraisal with respect to the Reverse Stock Split.
Vote Required
This Proposal III requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of our common stock. Stockholders may vote “for” or “against” the proposal, or they may abstain from voting on the proposal. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have the same effect as vote “against” this Proposal III. The proxy holders will vote your shares in accordance with your instructions. If you have not given specific instructions to the contrary, your shares will be voted “FOR” the approval of this Proposal III.
Board Recommendation
Our Board Recommends a Vote “FOR” Amendment of our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as Amended, to Effect a Reverse Stock Split as Described in this Proposal III.
29
PROPOSAL IV
ADVISORY (NON-BINDING) VOTE ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
We are required to permit a separate non-binding stockholder vote to approve the compensation of its named executive officers, as disclosed pursuant to the compensation disclosure rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (which disclosure includes the compensation tables and narrative discussion). This vote is not intended to address any specific item of compensation or the compensation of any particular officer, but rather to provide stockholders with an opportunity to make an advisory vote with respect to the overall compensation of our named executive officers and our compensation practices.
This proposal, commonly known as a "Say-On-Pay" proposal, permits stockholders to endorse or not endorse our executive compensation through the following resolution:
“RESOLVED, that the stockholders approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation paid to the Company's named executive officers, as disclosed pursuant to the compensation disclosure rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (which disclosure includes the compensation tables and narrative discussion).”
Because the stockholders’ vote is advisory, it will not be binding on the Board. However, the Board’s Compensation Committee will take into account the outcome of the vote when considering future executive compensation arrangements.
The frequency of future say-on-pay advisory votes shall be determined by the Board.  Proposal V, below, is a non-binding Say-On-Pay frequency advisory vote of the stockholders which the Board will take into consideration in determining when the next Say-On-Pay advisory vote should be brought before the stockholders.
Board Recommendation
Our Board Recommends a Vote “FOR” this Proposal IV.
30
PROPOSAL V
ADVISORY (NON-BINDING) VOTE ON THE FREQUENCY OF THE ADVISORY VOTE ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
At the Annual Meeting, the stockholders will vote on a non-binding, advisory proposal regarding the frequency of future advisory stockholder votes on executive compensation as discussed in Proposal IV in this proxy statement. Stockholders will have the opportunity to cast an advisory vote on whether the stockholder vote on executive compensation should occur every one, two or three years. Stockholders may also abstain from voting on the matter.
Because your vote is advisory, it will not be binding upon the Company or the Board. However, the Board will take into account the outcome of the vote when considering the frequency of the advisory stockholder vote on executive compensation. Your advisory vote will not be construed (i) as overruling a decision by the Company or the Board, (ii) to create or imply any change to the fiduciary duties of the Company or the Board, (iii) to create or imply any additional fiduciary duties for the Company or the Board, or (iv) to restrict or limit the ability of stockholders to make proposals for inclusion in proxy materials related to executive compensation.
The Board believes that a non-binding stockholder vote on executive compensation should occur every year to provide the stockholders with an opportunity to annually express their views on the Company’s executive compensation.  The results of such vote would then be considered by our Compensation Committee in connection with the subsequent review of executive compensation.  Accordingly, the Board recommends voting for an advisory stockholder vote on executive compensation to be held annually and therefore recommends voting for the “one year” alternative.
We emphasize, however, that you are not voting to approve or disapprove the Board’s recommendation. Instead, your proxy card provides you with four options regarding this non-binding, advisory proposal. You may cast an advisory vote for the stockholder vote on executive compensation to occur every year, every two years, every three years, or you may abstain from voting on the matter.

Board Recommendation
Our Board Recommends a Vote under this Proposal V for an Advisory Vote Every ONE Year.

PROPOSAL VI
 
RATIFICATION OF SELECTION OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 
Our audit committee has appointed Macias Gini & O’Connell LLP to audit our accounts for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2012.2013. Such firm, which has served as our independent registered public accounting firm since February 9, 2005, has reported to us that none of its members has any direct financial interest or material indirect financial interest in our company.
 
A proposal will be presented at the annual meetingAnnual Meeting to ratify the audit committee’s appointment of Macias Gini & O’Connell LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm. Although stockholder ratification of the audit committee’s action in this respect is not required, our Board of Directors considers it desirable for stockholders to pass upon such appointment.
 
A representative of Macias Gini & O’Connell LLP is expected to attend the Annual Meeting and will be afforded the opportunity to make a statement and/or respond to appropriate questions from stockholders.
 
24
Fees for professional services provided by Macias Gini & O’Connell LLP for the years ended December 31, 20112012 and 20102011 were as follows:
 
Category 2011  2010  2012  2011 
Audit fees $160,400  $142,600  $150,100  $160,400 
Audit – related fees  —   —   —   — 
Tax fees  15,000   14,000   15,000   15,000 
All Other fees  —   —   —   — 
Totals $175,400  $156,600  $165,100  $175,400

The audit committee has adopted a policy that requires advance approval of all audit, audit-related, tax services and other services performed by our independent registered public accounting firm. The policy provides for pre-approval by the audit committee of specifically defined audit and non-audit services. Unless the specific service has been previously pre-approved with respect to that year, the audit committee must approve the permitted service before the independent registered public accounting firm is engaged to perform it.
 
Board Recommendation
 
The Board unanimously recommends a vote FOR“FOR” ratification of the selection of Macias Gini & O’Connell LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2012.2013.
 
32
 
OTHER MATTERS
 
Our Board of Directors knows of no other matters to be brought before the Annual Meeting. However, if other matters should come before the meeting, it is the intention of each person named in the proxy to vote in accordance with his judgment on such matters.
 
HOUSEHOLDING OF PROXY MATERIALS
 
The SEC has adopted rules that permit companies and intermediaries (e.g., brokers) to satisfy the delivery requirements for proxy statements and annual reports with respect to two or more stockholders sharing the same address by delivering a single proxy statement addressed to those stockholders.  This process, which is commonly referred to as “householding,” potentially means extra convenience for stockholders and cost savings for companies.
 
This year, a number of brokers with account holders who are GraphOnour stockholders will be “householding” our proxy materials. A single proxy statement and annual report will be delivered to multiple stockholders sharing an address unless contrary instructions have been received from the affected stockholders. Once you have received notice from your broker that they will be “householding” communications to your address, “householding” will continue until you are notified otherwise or until you revoke your consent. If, at any time, you no longer wish to participate in “householding” and would prefer to receive a separate proxy statement and annual report, please notify your broker, direct your written request to Robert Dixon, our Secretary, at our address or contact Robert Dixon at (800) 472-7466.
 
25

Stockholders who currently receive multiple copies of the proxy statement and annual report at their address and would like to request “householding” of their communications should contact their broker.
 
20132014 STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS
 
Stockholders are entitled to submit proposals on matters appropriate for stockholder action consistent with regulations of the SEC. In order for stockholder proposals for the 20132014 Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be eligible for inclusion in our proxy statement, our Secretary must receive them at our principal offices not later than June 7,December 23, 2013. Such proposals should be submitted, in writing, to GraphOn Corporation, Attn: Robert Dixon, Secretary, 1901 S. Bascom Avenue, Suite 660, Campbell, CA 95008.
 
Under Rule 14a-4 promulgated under the Exchange Act, if a proponent of a proposal that is not intended to be included in the proxy statement fails to notify us of such proposal at least 45 days prior to the anniversary of the mailing date of the preceding year’s proxy statement or a reasonable time before we send our proxy materials for such meeting if the date of the meeting has changed by more than 30 days from the prior year, then we will be allowed to use our discretionary voting authority under proxies solicited by us when the proposal is raised at such annual meeting of stockholders, without any discussion of the matter in the proxy statement. We were not notified of any stockholder proposals to be addressed at our Annual Meeting, and will therefore be allowed to use our discretionary voting authority if any stockholder proposals are raised at the Annual Meeting.
 
ACCOMPANYING INFORMATION
 
Accompanying this proxy statement is a copy of our annual report to stockholders on Form 10-K, for our fiscal year ended December 31, 2011.2012. Such annual report includes our audited consolidated financial statements for the two fiscal years ended December 31, 2011.2012. No part of such annual report shall be regarded as proxy-soliciting material or as a communication by means of which any solicitation is being or is to be made.

STOCK OPTIONS
The provisions of this Section 5 are applicable to Options granted to Employees, Nonemployee Directors and Consultants.  Such Participants shall also be eligible to receive other types of Awards as set forth in the Plan.

5.2Award Agreement.  Each Option shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement that shall specify the Exercise Price, the expiration date of the Option, the number of Shares to which the Option pertains, any conditions to exercise the Option, and such other terms and conditions as the Administrator, in its discretion, shall determine.  The Award Agreement shall also specify whether the Option is intended to be an Incentive Stock Option or a Nonqualified Stock Option.

5.3.2Incentive Stock Options.  The grant of Incentive Stock Options shall be subject to the following limitations:

(b)Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to persons who are, as of the Grant Date, Employees of the Company or a Subsidiary, and may not be granted to Consultants or Nonemployee Directors.  In the event the Company fails to obtain shareholder approval of the Plan within twelve (12)
A-6
months from the Plan Adoption Date, all Options granted under this Plan designated as Incentive Stock Options shall become Nonqualified Stock Options and shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 5 applicable to Nonqualified Stock Options.
(c)To the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value of the Shares with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by the Participant during any calendar year (under all plans of the Company and any parent or Subsidiary) exceeds $100,000, such Options shall be treated as Nonqualified Stock Options. For purposes of this Section 5.3.2(c), Incentive Stock Options shall be taken into account in the order in which they were granted.  The Fair Market Value of the Shares shall be determined as of the time the Option with respect to such Shares is granted; and
(d)In the event of a Participant's change of status from Employee to Consultant or Director, an Incentive Stock Option held by the Participant shall cease to be treated as an Incentive Stock Option and shall be treated for tax purposes as a Nonqualified Stock Option three (3) months and one (1) day following such change of status.
5.3.3Substitute Options.  Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 5.3.1 and 5.3.2, in the event that the Company or an Affiliate consummates a transaction described in Section 424(a) of the Code (e.g., the acquisition of property or stock from an unrelated corporation), persons who become Employees, Nonemployee Directors or Consultants on account of such transaction may be granted Options in substitution for options granted by their former employer, and such Options may be granted with an Exercise Price less than the Fair Market Value of a Share on the Grant Date; provided, however, the grant of such substitute Option shall not constitute a “modification” as defined in Code Section 424(h)(3) and the applicable Treasury regulations.
5.4Expiration of Options
5.4.1Expiration Dates.  Unless otherwise specified in an Award Agreement, each Option shall immediately terminate on the date a Participant ceases his/her/its Continuous Status as an Employee, Director or Consultant with respect to the Shares that have not “vested.”  With respect to the “vested” Shares underlying a Participant’s Option, unless otherwise specified in the Award Agreement, each Option shall terminate no later than the first to occur of the following events:
(a)Date in Award Agreement.  The date for termination of the Option set forth in the written Award Agreement;
(b)Termination of Continuous Status as Employee, Nonemployee Director or Consultant.  The last day of the three (3)-month period following the date the Participant ceases his/her/its Continuous Status as an Employee, Nonemployee Director or Consultant (other than termination for a reason described in subsections (c), (d), (e), or (f) below);
(c)Cause.  In the event a Participant’s Continuous Status as an Employee, Director or Consultant is terminated for Cause as determined by the Administrator, all unexercised Options held by such Participant shall expire five (5) business days following written notice from the Company to the Participant; provided, however, that the Administrator may, in its sole discretion, prior to the expiration of such five (5) business day period, reinstate the Options by giving written notice of such reinstatement to Participant.  In the event of such reinstatement, the Participant may exercise the Option only to such extent, for such time, and upon such terms and conditions as if the Participant had ceased to be employed by or affiliated with the Company or a Subsidiary upon the date of such termination for a reason other than Cause, disability or death;
(d)Disability.  In the event that a Participant's Continuous Status as an Employee, Director or Consultant terminates as a result of the Participant's Disability, the Participant may exercise his or her Option at any time within twelve (12) months from the date of such termination, but only to the extent that the Participant was entitled to exercise it at the date of such termination (but in no event later than the
A-7
expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Award Agreement).  If, at the date of termination, the Participant is not entitled to exercise his or her entire Option, the Shares covered by the unexercisable portion of the Option shall revert to the Plan.  If, after termination, the Participant does not exercise his or her Option within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option shall revert to the Plan;
(e)Death.  In the event of the death of a Participant, the Participant’s Option may be exercised at any time within twelve (12) months following the date of death (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Award Agreement), by the Participant's estate or by a person who acquired the right to exercise the Option by bequest or inheritance, but only to the extent that the Participant was entitled to exercise the Option at the date of death. If, at the time of death, the Participant was not entitled to exercise his or her entire Option, the Shares covered by the unexercisable portion of the Option shall immediately revert to the Plan. If, after death, the Participant's estate or a person who acquired the right to exercise the Option by bequest or inheritance does not exercise the Option within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option shall revert to the Plan; or
(f)10 Years from Grant.  An Option shall expire no more than ten (10) years from the Grant Date; provided, however, that if an Incentive Stock Option is granted to an Employee who, together with persons whose stock ownership is attributed to the Employee pursuant to Section 424(d) of the Code, owns stock possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of the stock of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, such Incentive Stock Option may not be exercised after the expiration of five (5) years from the Grant Date.
5.4.2Administrator Discretion.  Notwithstanding the foregoing the Administrator may, after an Option is granted, extend the exercise period that an Option is exercisable following a Participant’s termination of employment (subject to limitations applicable to Incentive Stock Options); provided, however that such extension does not exceed the maximum term of the Option.
5.5Exercisability of Options.  Options granted under the Plan shall be exercisable at such times and be subject to such restrictions as set forth in the Award Agreement and conditions as the Administrator shall determine in its discretion.
5.6Exercise and Payment.  Options shall be exercised by the Participant’s delivery of a written notice of exercise to the Secretary of the Company (or its designee), setting forth the number of Shares with respect to which the Option is to be exercised, accompanied by full payment for the Shares.
5.6.1Form of Consideration.  Upon the exercise of any Option, the Exercise Price shall be payable to the Company in full in cash or its equivalent.  The Administrator, in its discretion, also may permit the exercise of Options and same-day sale of related Shares, or exercise by tendering previously acquired Shares having an aggregate Fair Market Value at the time of exercise equal to the total Exercise Price, or by any other means which the Administrator, in its discretion, determines to provide legal consideration for the Shares, and to be consistent with the purposes of the Plan.
5.6.2Delivery of Shares.  As soon as practicable after receipt of a written notification of exercise and full payment for the Shares purchased, the Company shall deliver to the Participant (or the Participant’s designated broker), Share certificates (which may be in book entry form) representing such Shares.

9.10Transfers Upon a Change in Control.  In the sole and absolute discretion of the Administrator, an Award Agreement may provide that in the event of certain Change in Control events, which may include any or all of the Change in Control events described in Section 2.8, Shares obtained pursuant to this Plan shall be subject to certain rights and obligations, which include but are not limited to the following: (i) the obligation to vote all such Shares in favor of such Change in Control transaction, whether by vote at a meeting of the Company’s shareholders or by written consent of such shareholders; (ii) the obligation to sell or exchange all such Shares and all rights to acquire Shares, under this Plan pursuant to the terms and conditions of such Change in Control transaction; (iii) the right to transfer less than all but not all of such Shares pursuant to the terms and conditions of such Change in Control transaction, and (iv) the obligation to execute all documents and take any other action reasonably requested by the Company to facilitate the consummation of such Change in Control transaction.
9.11Performance-Based Awards.  Each agreement for the grant of performance-based awards shall specify the number of Shares underlying the Award, the Performance Period and the Performance Goals (each as defined below).  As used herein, “Performance Goals” means performance goals specified in the agreement for any Award which the Administrators determine to make subject to Performance Goals, upon which the vesting or settlement of such award is conditioned and “Performance Period” means the period of time specified in an agreement over which the Award which the Administrators determine to make subject to a Performance Goal, are to be earned.  Each agreement for a performance-based Award shall specify in respect of a Performance Goal the minimum level of performance below which no payment will be made, shall describe the method of determining the amount of any payment to be made if performance is at or above the minimum acceptable level, but falls short of full achievement of the Performance Goal, and shall specify the maximum percentage payout under the agreement.
9.11.1Performance Goals for Covered Employees.  The Performance Goals  for any performance-based Award granted to a Covered Employee, if deemed appropriate by the Administrators, shall be objective and shall otherwise meet the requirements of Section 162(m)(4)(C) of the Code, and shall be based upon one or more of the following performance-based business criteria, either on a Company, subsidiary, division, business unit or line of business basis or in comparison with peer group performance or to an index: net sales; gross sales; net revenue; gross revenue; growth in number of customers, cash generation; cash flow; unit volume; market share; cost reduction; costs and expenses (including expense
A-12
efficiency ratios and other expense measures); strategic plan development and implementation; return on net assets; return on actual or proforma assets; return on equity; return on capital; return on investment; return on working capital; return on net capital employed; working capital; asset turnover; economic value added; total stockholder return; stock price; net income; net income before tax; operating income; operating profit margin; net income margin; net interest margin; sales margin; market share; inventory turnover; days sales outstanding; sales growth; capacity utilization; increase in customer base; cash flow; book value; earnings per share; stock price earnings ratio; earnings before interest; taxes; depreciation and amortization expenses (“EBITDA”); earnings before interest and taxes (“EBIT”); earnings before interest (“EBI”); or EBITDA, EBIT, EBI or earnings before taxes and unusual or nonrecurring items as measured either against the annual budget or as a ratio to revenue.  Achievement of any such Performance Goal shall be measured over a period of years not to exceed ten (10) as specified by the Administrators in the agreement for the performance-based Award.  No business criterion other than those named above in this Section 9.11.1 may be used in establishing the Performance Goal for an award to a Covered Employee under this Section 9.11.  For each such award relating to a Covered Employee, the Administrators shall establish the targeted level or levels of performance for each such business criterion.  The Administrators may, in their discretion, reduce the amount of a payout otherwise to be made in connection with an award under this Section 9.11, but may not exercise discretion to increase such amount, and the Administrators may consider other performance criteria in exercising such discretion.  All determinations by the Administrators as to the achievement of Performance Goals under this Section 9.11 shall be made in writing.  The Administrators may not delegate any responsibility under this Section 9.11.  As used herein, “Covered Employee” shall mean, with respect to any grant of an award, an executive of the Company or any subsidiary who is a member of the executive compensation group under the Company’s compensation practices (not necessarily an executive officer) whom the Administrators deem may be or become a covered employee as defined in Section 162(m)(3) of the Code for any year that such award may result in remuneration over $1 million which would not be deductible under Section 162(m) of the Code but for the provisions of the Plan and any other “qualified performance-based compensation” plan (as defined under Section 162(m) of the Code) of the Company; provided, however, that the Administrators may determine that a Plan Participant has ceased to be a Covered Employee prior to the settlement of any award.
9.11.2Mandatory Deferral of Income.  The Administrators, in their sole discretion, may require that one or more award agreements contain provisions which provide that, in the event Section 162(m) of the Code, or any successor provision relating to excessive employee remuneration, would operate to disallow a deduction by the Company with respect to all or part of any award under the Plan, a Plan Participant’s receipt of the benefit relating to such award that would not be deductible by the Company shall be deferred until the next succeeding year or years in which the Plan Participant’s remuneration does not exceed the limit set forth in such provisions of the Code; provided, however, that such deferral does not violate Code Section 409A.
SECTION 10
AMENDMENT, SUSPENSION, AND TERMINATION
10.1Amendment, Suspension, or Termination.  Except as provided in Section 10.2, the Board, in its sole discretion, may amend, suspend or terminate the Plan, or any part thereof, at any time and for any reason.  The amendment, suspension or termination of the Plan shall not, without the consent of the Participant, alter or impair any rights or obligations under any Award theretofore granted to such Participant.  No Award may be granted during any period of suspension or after termination of the Plan.
10.2No Amendment without Shareholder Approval.  The Company shall obtain shareholder approval of any material Plan amendment but only to the extent necessary to comply with the rules of the NASDAQ, the Exchange Act, Section 422 of the Code, or other Applicable Law.  As of the Plan Adoption Date and Plan Effective Date, the Company is not listed on NASDAQ or any national securities exchange and thus as of such times no shareholder approval would be necessary for material amendments of the Plan.
10.3Plan Effective Date and Duration of Awards .  The Plan shall be effective as of the Plan Effective Date, subject to Sections 10.1 and 10.2 (regarding the Board’s right to amend or terminate the Plan), and
A-13
shall remain in effect thereafter.  However, without further shareholder approval, no Award may be granted under the Plan more than ten (10) years after the Plan Adoption Date.  The Board of Directors of the Company, but need not, submit this Plan to its shareholders for approval.
SECTION 11
TAX WITHHOLDING
11.1Withholding Requirements.  Prior to the delivery of any Shares or cash pursuant to an Award (or exercise thereof), the Company shall have the power and the right to deduct or withhold, or require a Participant to remit to the Company, an amount sufficient to satisfy federal, state, and local taxes (including the Participant’s FICA obligation) required to be withheld with respect to such Award (or exercise thereof).
11.2Withholding Arrangements.  The Administrator, in its discretion and pursuant to such procedures as it may specify from time to time, may permit a Participant to satisfy such tax withholding obligation, in whole or in part by (a) electing to have the Company withhold otherwise deliverable Shares or (b) delivering to the Company already-owned Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the minimum amount required to be withheld.  The amount of the withholding requirement shall be deemed to include any amount which the Administrator agrees may be withheld at the time the election is made; provided, however, in the case Shares are withheld by the Company to satisfy the tax withholding that would otherwise by issued to the Participant, the amount of such tax withholding shall be determined by applying the statutory minimum federal, state or local income tax rates applicable to the Participant with respect to the Award on the date that the amount of tax to be withheld is to be determined.  The Fair Market Value of the Shares to be withheld or delivered shall be determined as of the date taxes are required to be withheld.
SECTION 12
LEGAL CONSTRUCTION
12.1Liability of Company.  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 grant or any Award or the issuance and sale of any Shares hereunder, shall relieve the Company, its officers, Directors and Employees of any liability in respect of the failure to grant such Award or to issue or sell such Shares as to which such requisite authority shall not have been obtained.
12.2Grants Exceeding Allotted Shares.  If the Shares covered by an Award exceed, as of the date of grant, the number of Shares, which may be issued under the Plan without additional shareholder approval, such Award shall be void with respect to such excess Shares, unless shareholder approval of an amendment sufficiently increasing the number of Shares subject to the Plan is timely obtained.
12.3Gender and Number.  Except where otherwise indicated by the context, any masculine term used herein also shall include the feminine; the plural shall include the singular and the singular shall include the plural.
12.4Severability.  In the event any provision of the Plan shall be held illegal or invalid for any reason, the illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining parts of the Plan, and the Plan shall be construed and enforced as if the illegal or invalid provision had not been included.
12.5Requirements of Law.  The granting of Awards and the issuance of Shares under the Plan shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules, and regulations, and to such approvals by any governmental agencies or national securities exchanges as may be required.
12.6Governing Law.  The Plan and all Award Agreements shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Delaware.
12.7Captions.  Captions are provided herein for convenience only, and shall not serve as a basis for interpretation or construction of the Plan.
