PART III
Item 10. Directors, Executive Officers and Corporate Governance
DIRECTORS
     Our restated certificate of incorporation and bylaws provide that our Board of Directors, or the Board, is divided into three classes, with each class having a three-year term. Only persons elected by a majority of the remaining directors may fill vacancies on our Board. A director elected by our Board to fill a vacancy in a class (including a vacancy created by an increase in the number of directors) will serve until the next election of the class for which this director has been elected and until his or her successor has been duly elected and qualified.
     Our Board of Directors presently has five members and no vacancies. There is one director in the class whose term of office expires in 2009 (H. William Jesse, Jr.), two directors in the class whose term of office expires in 2010 (Jerry Colonna and Stephen B. Davis) and two directors in the class whose term of office expires in 2011(Phillip S. Kleweno and John E. Marcom, Jr.). On March 2, 2009, Karen Magee, our former Chief Executive Officer, resigned from her position as Chief Executive Officer and as a director on our Board of Directors, effective March 3, 2009, and our Board voted to reduce the number of directors from six to five, effective upon Ms. Magee’s resignation.
     Each of our directors qualifies as “independent” in accordance with the published listing requirements of the NASDAQ Stock Market. The NASDAQ independence definition includes a series of objective tests, such as that the director is not our employee and has not engaged in various types of business dealings with us. In addition, as further required by the NASDAQ rules, our Board has made a subjective determination as to each independent director that no relationships exist which, in the opinion of our Board, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. In making these determinations, the directors reviewed and discussed information provided by the directors and by us with regard to each director’s business and personal activities as they may relate to us and our management.
     Set forth below is the name, age and biographical information for each person currently serving on our Board of Directors.

Officers, directors and greater than 10% beneficial owners are required by SEC regulation to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.
     To our knowledge, based solely on a review of the copies of such reports furnished to us and written representations that no other reports were required, during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to our officers, directors and greater than 10% beneficial owners were complied with.
BOARD COMMITTEES AND MEETINGS
     During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, our Board of Directors met 16 times and did not act by unanimous written consent. Our Board has an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee and a Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee.

Table of Contents

     It is our policy that all directors are encouraged to attend our Annual Meetings of Stockholders in person. Last year, Messrs. Davis, Kleweno and Marcom, as well as Ms. Magee, who was then serving as a director, attended the annual meeting.
Audit Committee
     Our Board of Directors has a separately-designated standing Audit Committee established in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Exchange Act. Our Audit Committee is composed of Messrs. Jesse, Kleweno and Marcom, each of whom is a non-employee member of our Board.
     Our Board has determined that each member of the Audit Committee meets the requirements for independence under the current requirements of the NASDAQ Stock Market and SEC rules and regulations. Mr. Jesse is the Chair of the Audit Committee and our Board has determined that he is the “audit committee financial expert,” as that term is defined under the SEC rules. The Audit Committee met nine times during the last fiscal year and did not act by unanimous written consent. The Audit Committee has a written charter, which can be viewed on our corporate governance web page at www.planetoutinc.com under the “Investor Center — Corporate Governance” section.
     The Audit Committee is responsible for overseeing the preparation of reports, statements or charters as may be required by the NASDAQ Stock Market or federal securities laws, as well as, among other things: (i) overseeing and monitoring (a) the integrity of our financial statements, (b) our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements as they relate to financial statements or accounting matters, (c) our independent auditors’ engagement, qualifications, independence, compensation and performance, and (d) our internal accounting and financial controls; (ii) preparing the report that SEC rules and regulations require be included in our annual proxy statement; (iii) providing our Board with the results of its monitoring and recommendations; and (iv) providing to our Board additional information and materials as it deems necessary to make our Board aware of significant financial matters that require the attention of our Board.
Compensation Committee
     Our Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors is composed of Messrs. Colonna, Davis and Marcom, each of whom is a non-employee member of our Board. Mr. Colonna is the Chair of the Compensation Committee.
     Our Board has determined that each member of the Compensation Committee meets the requirements for independence under the current requirements of the NASDAQ Stock Market and SEC rules and regulations. Each member of the Compensation Committee is an “outside director” as defined in Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and is a “non-employee” director within the meaning of Rule 16b-3 of the rules promulgated under the Exchange Act. The Compensation Committee met four times during the last fiscal year and did not act by unanimous written consent. The Compensation Committee has a written charter, which can be viewed on our corporate governance web page at www.planetoutinc.com under the “Investor Center — Corporate Governance” section.
     Under its charter, the Compensation Committee has the following scope and authority:
    review, modify (as needed) and approve our overall compensation strategy and policies,
 
    review and approve a compensation package for, in its sole discretion, our chief executive officer and evaluate our chief executive officer’s performance in light of relevant corporate performance goals and objectives,
 
    review and approve the corporate performance goals and objectives of our other executive officers,
 
    with respect to directors and executive officers, review and approve grants and awards under our stock option plans and similar programs,

    annually review and approve our organizational structure, succession plans for executive officers and programs to encourage development of individuals to assume positions of higher responsibility,
 
    prepare and review any report required by SEC rules and regulations to be included in the proxy statement, and
 
    review, discuss and assess its own performance.

Table of Contents

     When reviewing our overall compensation strategy and policies, the Compensation Committee reviews performance goals and objectives relating to compensation, reviews and advises the Board concerning regional and industry-wide compensation practices and trends to assess the adequacy and competitiveness of our executive compensation programs among comparable companies in our industry, and reviews the terms of any employment agreement, severance agreement and change of control protections for our executive officers.
     The Compensation Committee has the ability to delegate its authority to administer equity compensation plans as it determines is appropriate. The Compensation Committee has delegated to our chief executive officer the authority to make stock option and restricted stock grants to non-executive employees and consultants, so long as each such grant does not exceed 1,000 shares and 400 shares, respectively.
     The chief executive officer and the chief financial officer may attend any meeting of the Compensation Committee unless the Compensation Committee determines that there are portions of the meetings where her, his or their presence would be inappropriate. With respect to other executive officers, the Compensation Committee considers recommendations from the chief executive officer regarding total compensation for such executive officers. Those recommendations include salary increases or target incentive award opportunities, based on our chief executive officer’s evaluation of their performance, job responsibilities, and leadership roles within the company. While the Compensation Committee considers these recommendations for the chief executive officer’s direct reports, the Compensation Committee does not delegate authority for compensation decisions relating to the chief executive officer and the other executive officers, which are determined by the Compensation Committee and approved by our full Board of Directors.
Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee
     Our Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee of our Board of Directors is composed of Messrs. Davis, Jesse and Kleweno, each of whom is a non-employee member of our Board. Mr. Kleweno is the Chair of the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee.
     Our Board has determined that each member of the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee meets the requirements for independence under the current requirements of the NASDAQ Stock Market and SEC rules and regulations. The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee met three times during the last fiscal year and did not act by unanimous written consent. The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee has a written charter, which can be viewed on our corporate governance web page at www.planetoutinc.com under the “Investor Center — Corporate Governance” section.
     The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee is responsible for, among other things: (i) reviewing Board structure, composition and practices, and making recommendations on these matters to our Board; (ii) reviewing, soliciting and making recommendations to our Board and stockholders with respect to candidates for election to our Board; (iii) overseeing compliance with our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics; and (iv) overseeing compliance with corporate governance requirements.
     Our bylaws contain provisions that address the process by which a stockholder may nominate an individual to stand for election to our Board at our annual meeting of stockholders. The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee will consider qualified candidates for director suggested by stockholders. Stockholders can suggest candidates by writing to the attention of our corporate secretary at 1355 Sansome Street, San Francisco, CA 94111. We will forward suggestions that we receive to the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee for further review and consideration. Stockholder suggestions are encouraged to be submitted to our corporate secretary at least six months prior to the one-year anniversary of the previous year’s annual meeting of stockholders to ensure time for meaningful consideration.
     Although the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee has not formally adopted minimum criteria for director nominees, the Committee does seek to ensure that the members of our Board possess both exemplary professional and personal ethics and values and an in-depth understanding of our business and industry. The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee also believes in the value of professional diversity among members of our Board, and it feels that it is appropriate for members of our senior management to participate as members of our Board. The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee requires that at least one member of our Board qualify as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined by SEC rules and regulations, and that a majority of the members of our Board meet the definition of independence under the NASDAQ Stock Market rules.

Table of Contents

     The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee identifies nominees for the class of directors being elected at each annual meeting of stockholders by first evaluating the current members of the class of directors willing to continue in service. Current members of our Board with skills and experience that are relevant to our business and who are willing to continue to serve on our Board are considered for re-nomination, balancing the value of continuity of service by existing members of our Board with the benefits of bringing on members with new perspectives. If any member of a class of directors does not wish to continue in service or if the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee decides not to re-nominate a member of the class of directors for reelection, the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee identifies the desired skills and experience of a new nominee in light of the criteria above.
Code of Business Conduct and Ethics
     We have adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that applies to our chief executive officer and senior financial officers, including our chief financial officer, who is our principal financial and accounting officer, and controller, as well as to all of our employees and directors. The Code can be viewed on our corporate governance web page at www.planetoutinc.com under the “Investor Center — Corporate Governance” section. To the extent permitted by NASDAQ Stock Market rules, we intend to disclose any amendments to, or waivers from, the Code provisions applicable to our chief executive officer and senior financial officers, including our chief financial officer and controller, or with respect to the required elements of the Code on our corporate governance web page at www.planetoutinc.com under the “Investor Center — Corporate Governance” section.

Cash Compensation
     Each non-employee director receives a quarterly cash retainer of $3,000 and a $1,000 payment for each all-day board meeting attended in person. The Chairperson of the Audit Committee receives an additional quarterly payment of $1,250 and the Chairpersons of the Compensation Committee and the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee receive additional quarterly payments of $750. Further, effective as of the first business day of January 2007, and on the first business day of each January thereafter, each non-employee director who has attended 80% or more of all Board and applicable Committee meetings held during his or her tenure as a Board member during the prior calendar year receives a payment of $2,000.
Equity Compensation
     Effective as of January 1, 2007, as of the date of first joining our Board, each non-employee director receives a grant of 600 restricted shares of our common stock (“Restricted Shares”), which vest quarterly over a three year period from the date of grant, with 1/12th of the Restricted Shares vesting on the first day after the date of grant on which our trading window opens pursuant to our Insider Trading Policy during each fiscal quarter, unless the trading window does not open during the quarter, in which case those Restricted Shares vest on the last business day immediately preceding the 16th day of the last month of that quarter.
     Effective as of December 22, 2005, each non-employee director, other than Ms. Magee (who was then a non-employee director but did not receive a grant because her employer at the time did not allow her to be compensated for her service on our Board), was granted a non-statutory stock option to purchase up to 1,350 shares of our common stock. The options were 100% vested on the date of grant; provided, however, that a total of 300 of the shares that may be acquired upon exercise of the options were transferable, and the remaining 1,050 of the shares were nontransferable (with certain exceptions for transfer upon death or qualified domestic relations orders); provided, further however, that the 1,050 shares become transferable over a three year monthly schedule, such that 1/36th of the shares will become transferable each month following the date of grant. On January 26, 2006, Ms. Magee was granted a non-statutory stock option to purchase 1,350 shares of our common stock, 300 of which were vested on the date of grant and 1/36th of the remaining options vest monthly thereafter. We recognized $33,225 of stock-based compensation expense with respect to this stock option grant in 2006. For additional information with respect to Ms. Magee’s option and other compensation after Ms. Magee became our employee in July 2006, refer to the Summary Compensation Table.
     In addition, each non-employee director receives an automatic annual grant of 200 restricted shares of our common stock on the date of our annual stockholder’s meeting, which vests quarterly over a one year period from the date of grant, with 1/4th of the restricted shares vesting on the first day after the date of grant on which our trading window opens pursuant to our Insider Trading Policy during each fiscal quarter, unless the trading window does not open during a quarter, in which case the restricted shares will vest on the last business day immediately preceding the 16th day of the last month of that quarter.

Employment Agreements
      Daniel E. Steimle: On September 17, 2007, we retained the services of Daniel E. Steimle, then our Interim Chief Financial Officer, through an executive services firm. Pursuant to our agreement with the executive services firm, we paid Mr. Steimle $23,800 per month in salary, but he was not entitled to receive any bonuses or equity incentive grants in connection with his provision of services as our Interim Chief Financial Officer. Mr. Steimle was, however, eligible for a paid parking space. The executive services firm also received specified consideration as Mr. Steimle performed services for us. On March 2, 2009, Mr. Steimle was appointed as our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. We pay Mr. Steimle $23,800 per month in salary, but he is not entitled to any bonus or equity incentive grants in connection with his provision of services as our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Mr. Steimle is, however, eligible for a paid parking space. We continue to pay the executive services firm specified consideration for Mr. Steimle’s services.
     On January 11, 2008, to provide Mr. Steimle with an incentive to remain with us while we evaluated our strategic alternatives, we entered into a retention agreement with Mr. Steimle whereby we agreed to provide him with a one-time cash payment of $100,000 if he continued to provide services to us through December 31, 2008, or some pro-rata portion of $100,000 if he ceased providing services to us prior to December 31, 2008. A portion of this retention amount was payable to the executive services firm through which we retained Mr. Steimle’s services. On January 15, 2009, we paid Mr. Steimle this one time retention bonus of $70,000, less applicable taxes and withholding, with $30,000 being paid to the executive services firm through which we retained his services.
      Karen Magee: Ms. Magee, our Chief Executive Officer from July 1, 2006, resigned her employment with us effective March 3, 2009. Through that date, Ms. Magee was compensated pursuant to the terms of her employment agreement dated June 20, 2006, as amended on June 28, 2007. In 2006, pursuant to Ms. Magee’s employment agreement, as an inducement to accept the Chief Executive Officer position, she was awarded 9,000 shares of restricted stock, which were vesting in four equal annual installments and were otherwise subject to all of the terms and conditions of our stockholder-approved equity incentive plan. The June 28, 2007 amendment to Ms. Magee’s employment agreement fixed the term of her employment agreement through June 30, 2010, granted her 30,000 shares of restricted stock, vesting annually over a three-year period, for purposes of retention and additional incentive and provided that any merit-based increases to which Ms. Magee was entitled in 2007 would be paid in shares of restricted stock rather than in cash. Ms. Magee’s base salary in both 2007 and 2008 was $390,000. She was generally eligible for an annual incentive bonus at a target level of 40% of her base salary based on the achievement of certain individual and performance goals. In 2007, no specific goals were set and no incentive bonus was earned. For 2007, Ms. Magee’s bonus was guaranteed at 70% of the target level of her annual incentive bonus. The bonus earned for 2007 was $109,200 and was paid in 2008 in accordance with the terms of Ms. Magee’s employment agreement. In 2008, no specific goals were set and no incentive bonus was earned. For 2008, Ms. Magee’s bonus was guaranteed at 55% of the target level of her annual incentive bonus. The bonus earned for 2008 was $85,800 and was paid in March 2009.

2007. Ms. Magee was eligible for paid time off in accordance with our standard policy, was eligible to participate in all of our employee benefit plans in accordance with the terms and conditions of those plans and was eligible for a paid parking space.

Pursuant to the separation and release agreement, all of Ms. Magee’s equity awards were accelerated as if she had provided an additional twelve months’ service to us. If Ms. Magee elects to continue group health coverage through COBRA, we will reimburse her premium payments for a period of twelve months from March 3, 2009 or until she is no longer eligible for COBRA coverage, whichever is sooner.

Through that date, Mr. Bain was compensated pursuant to the terms of his employment agreement dated February 14, 2007, as amended January 11, 2008. Pursuant to his employment agreement, Mr. Bain’s base salary in 2007 was $250,000 and he was eligible for and received a one-time signing bonus of $25,000.

Also in February 2008, Mr. Bain received a cost-of-living increase in his base salary to $257,500. Mr. Bain was also eligible to receive an annual incentive bonus based on criteria established in advance by our chief executive officer and Board of Directors. However, in 2007 and 2008 no such criteria were established and no such annual incentive bonus, other than the one-time incentive bonus discussed previously, was earned. On March 13, 2007, pursuant to his employment agreement, Mr. Bain also received a grant of 5,000 shares of restricted stock which vested annually over a two-year period on the anniversary of his employment with us. In January 2008, to provide Mr. Bain with an incentive to remain with us while we evaluated our strategic alternatives, we amended Mr. Bain’s employment agreement to provide him with a one-time cash payment of $50,000 if he continued to provide services to us through December 31, 2008, or some pro-rata portion of $50,000 if he ceased providing services to us prior to December 31, 2008. Mr. Bain was paid this retention bonus of $50,000, less applicable taxes and withholding, in March 2009.

Mr. Bain remains subject to his proprietary information and inventions agreement with us.

Additional Information Related to Equity Compensation
     During 2007, none of the stock options granted to the named executive officers was repriced and none of the stock options or restricted stock awards was materially modified. All stock options and restricted stock awards are granted pursuant to the terms and conditions of our stockholder approved equity incentive plan.
     We use equity incentives, including stock options and restricted stock, as a vehicle to reward and retain named executive officers. Our philosophy in granting equity incentives is to encourage ownership of our stock as a means to align the interests of executives and stockholders. We believe that stock-based equity grants reinforce a long-term interest in our overall performance and encourage our named executive officers to manage our business with a view toward maximizing long-term stockholder value. The equity incentives we provide to our named executive officers include a mix of stock options and restricted stock.
     In accordance with out stockholder-approved equity incentive plan, stock options are granted with an exercise price equal to 100% of the closing market price of our stock on the date of grant, and thus provide compensation to the named executive officer only to the extent that the market price of the stock increases between the date of grant and the date the option is exercised. The date of grant of each stock option is the date the Compensation Committee meets in person or by telephone to approve the grant. Generally, stock options granted to the named executive officers vest over a four-year period. Restricted stock awards generally vest quarterly or annually over a three-year or four-year period.
Severance and Change of Control Agreements
     We engage the services of Mr. Steimle, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, pursuant to an agreement with an executive services firm. We may terminate the agreement with the executive services firm at any time, with or without cause, on 30 days written notice. Mr. Steimle is entitled to receive continued payment of his then current base salary for the 30 day notice period, whether or not he performed services during the 30 day notice period.
     Ms. Magee’s employment terminated March 3, 2009 and she signed a separation and release agreement which included a release of any claims she may have had against us. Pursuant to the agreement, Ms. Magee will be paid her base salary of $390,000 over a period of twelve months, with six months’ salary being paid on October 1, 2009, and the remaining six months’ salary being paid out pursuant to our regular payroll schedule over the six months following October 1, 2009. Also pursuant to the agreement, all of Ms. Magee’s equity awards were accelerated as if she had provided an additional twelve months’ service to us and, if she elects to continue group health coverage through COBRA, we will reimburse her premium payments for a period of twelve months from March 3, 2009 or until she is no longer eligible for COBRA coverage, whichever is sooner. Ms. Magee remains subject to her proprietary information and inventions agreement with us.

We have entered into indemnification agreements with all of our directors and executive officers and hold directors’ and officers’ liability insurance. In addition, our certificate of incorporation limits the personal liability of our Board members for breaches by the directors of their fiduciary duties.

Pre-Approval Policies And Procedures
     The Audit Committee meets with our independent auditors to approve the annual scope of accounting services to be performed, including all audit and non-audit services, and the related fee estimates. The Audit Committee also meets with our independent auditors, on a quarterly basis, following completion of their quarterly reviews and annual audit and prior to our earnings announcements, to review the results of their work. As appropriate, management and our independent auditors update the Audit Committee with material changes to any service engagement and related fee estimates as compared to amounts previously approved.
     Under its charter, the Audit Committee has the authority and responsibility to review and approve the retention of our independent auditors to perform any proposed permissible non-audit services. To date, all audit and non-audit services provided by Stonefield have been pre-approved by the Audit Committee in advance.
Auditors’ Independence
     The Audit Committee has determined that the rendering of all the services described above by Stonefield was compatible with maintaining the auditors’ independence.
