Compensation Plans
Equity Compensation Plan
Our Amended and Restated 1995 Equity Compensation Plan provides for grants of incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, stock appreciation rights and restricted stock to our designated employees, selected consultants and non-employee directors.
General. The plan authorizes up to 2,565,038 shares of common stock for issuance under the terms of the plan. No more than 500,000 shares in the aggregate may be granted to any individual in
5
any calendar year, subject to adjustment. If options granted under the plan expire, terminate, or are canceled, forfeited, exchanged or surrendered for any reason without having been exercised, or shares of restricted stock are forfeited, the shares of common stock underlying that grant will again be available for purposes of the plan.
Administration of the Plan. A compensation committee administers and interprets the plan. The compensation committee consists of two or more non-employee directors approved by the board. The compensation committee has the sole authority to:
The compensation committee may also delegate to the Chief Executive Officer the authority to make grants and to designate individuals to receive grants under the plan.
Options. Options granted under the plan are generally not transferable by the optionee. Options granted under the plan must generally be exercised within 10 years. The exercise price of all options must be at least equal to the fair market value of the underlying shares of common stock on the date of grant. Incentive stock options granted to any participant who owns more than 10% of our outstanding common stock on the date of grant must have an exercise price equal to or exceeding 110% of the fair market value of a share of common stock on the date of grant and must not be exercisable for longer than five years. The vesting schedule of options granted after December 28, 1998 is determined by the compensation committee.
Restricted Stock. Restricted stock granted under the plan is generally not transferable by the grantee until restrictions on the grant lapse. Restrictions on the transfer of shares will lapse as to one-half of the shares subject to a restricted stock grant in four equal annual installments commencing on the first anniversary of the date of grant and the remaining one-half at the end of the fourth year, unless otherwise determined by the compensation committee. Restricted stock will generally be granted for no consideration.
Change of Control. All outstanding options will immediately vest and restrictions on restricted stock will immediately lapse upon a change of control. A change of control is defined to have occurred if:
6
Restricted Stock Option Plan
Our Amended and Restated 1998 Time Accelerated Restricted Stock Option Plan provides for grants of restricted non-qualified stock options to our officers, senior management and employee directors.
General. The plan authorizes up to 483,594 shares of common stock for issuance under the terms of the plan. If options granted under the plan expire or terminate for any reason without having been exercised, the shares of common stock underlying that grant will again be available for purposes of the plan.
Administration of the Plan. The board of directors administers and interprets the plan, except that no member of the board may act upon any matter exclusively affecting any option granted or to be granted to himself or herself under the plan. The board of directors has the sole authority to:
The board of directors may delegate its powers, duties and responsibilities to a committee consisting of two or more non-employee directors approved by the board and an outside director.
Grants. Options granted under the plan consist of non-qualified stock options that are not intended to qualify as incentive stock options under the Code and are generally not transferable by the optionee. Options granted under the plan will generally be exercisable within seven years and must be exercised within 10 years. The exercise price of all options must be at least equal to the fair market value of the underlying shares of common stock on the date of grant.
Changes Due to Reorganizations. In the event that the outstanding common stock is changed into or exchanged for a different number or kind of our shares or other of our securities or securities of another corporation as the result of any reorganization, merger, consolidation, recapitalization, reclassification, stock split, combination of shares or dividends payable in capital stock, appropriate adjustments will be made in the number and kind of shares for which options may be granted under the plan. In addition, all outstanding options will immediately vest and restrictions on restricted stock will immediately lapse upon a change of control. A change of control is defined to have occurred if:

Limitations on Liability and Indemnification
Limitations on Liability
Our articles of incorporation and applicable Pennsylvania law provide that our directors will not be personally liable to us or our shareholders for monetary damages resulting from a breach of fiduciary duty except for:
This limitation of liability does not apply to liability pursuant to any criminal statute nor does it relieve our directors from payment of taxes pursuant to federal, state or local law.
Indemnification
Our articles of incorporation provide that we will indemnify our directors and executive officers and may indemnify our other corporate agents, to the fullest extent permitted by Pennsylvania law. Section 1741 of the Pennsylvania corporate laws provides the power to indemnify any officer or director acting in his capacity as our representative who was, is or is threatened to be made a party to any action or proceeding for expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in connection with that action or proceeding. The indemnity provisions apply whether the action was instituted by a third party or arose by or in our right. Generally, the only limitation on our ability to indemnify our officers and directors is if the act violates a criminal statute or if the act or failure to act is finally determined by a court to have constituted willful misconduct or recklessness.
Employment Agreements
We have entered into employment agreements with our executive officers as described below. Unless otherwise specified below all of our executive officers are eligible to receive bonuses in amounts to be determined by the board of directors and to participate in our stock option plans. Each executive officer has agreed not to disclose confidential information, including, but not limited to, any of our trade secrets, policies and proprietary technology, which are not known to the public or consented to disclosure by us. In addition, each executive officer was required to sign a non-competition agreement and an invention assignment agreement with us. We may only terminate our executive officers under the terms of their employment agreement for circumstances relating to their willful failure to perform his duties, illegal, dishonest or fraudulent acts, for breach of the agreement or mental or physical disability. On April 11, 2003, we entered into amended and restated employment agreements with Drs. Paulus and Bushick and Messrs. Tretter and Zajac, the terms of which are summarized in this Amendment to Form 10-K.

REPORT OF THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
The compensation committee of our board of directors is responsible for determining salaries, incentives and other forms of compensation for our directors, officers and other employees and administering various incentive and benefit plans. The compensation committee also seeks to ensure that our compensation philosophy is consistent with our best interests and is properly implemented.
Compensation Philosophy
Our compensation philosophy for executive officers serves two principal purposes: (1) to provide a total compensation package for executive officers that is competitive with the current market for executive talent and enables us to attract and retain key executive and employee talent needed to achieve our business objectives and (2) to link executive compensation to improvements in our performance and increases in shareholder value as measured principally by the trading price of our common stock.
Elements of Executive Officer Compensation
CareScience's executive compensation consists primarily of salary, health insurance and similar benefits, and the award of stock options. CareScience has in the past and continue to emphasize the award of stock options in its executive compensation policy and to date CareScience has not made use of cash incentive bonuses. The Compensation Committee believes that in the highly competitive, emerging markets in which CareScience operates, equity-based compensation provides the greatest incentive for outstanding executive performance and encourages the greatest alignment of management and shareholder long-term interests.
Officer Salaries. The Compensation Committee annually reviews the salary of the Chief Executive Officer, President and Chief Financial Officer. In addition, the Compensation Committee sets guidelines for compensation of the other officers of CareScience. In determining the appropriate salary levels for such officers, the Compensation Committee considers, among other factors, the officer's scope of responsibility, prior experience, past accomplishments, and data on prevailing compensation levels in relevant markets for executive talent.
During 2002, the Compensation Committee did not change the salary of Dr. Brailer from $275,652 nor did we change the salary of Dr. Paulus from $237,037. The Compensation Committee believes its actions are appropriate in light of CareScience's continued emphasis on long-term equity-based compensation. Also during 2002, the Compensation Committee and all other non-participating directors approved a special bonus in the form of forgiveness of one-third of the principal amount plus accrued interest of loans that went into effect on June 15, 2001 for each of Messrs. Antoian, McCleary, Tretter and Zajac, Ms. Ryan, and Drs. Brailer, Bushick and Paulus. CareScience currently has employment agreements with the following executive officers: Drs. Brailer, Paulus, and Bushick, and Messrs. Tretter and Zajac.
10
Stock Option Grants. As noted above, CareScience has relied substantially on long-term equity-based compensation as the principal means of compensating and incentivizing its executive officers. It is the our practice to set option exercise prices for officers at not less than 100% of the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant. Thus, the value of the shareholders' investment in us must appreciate before an optionee receives any financial benefit from the option. Options are generally granted for a term of ten years. With certain exceptions, options granted to executive officers generally provide that they are not exercisable until one year after the date of grant, at which time they become exercisable on a cumulative basis at a maximum annual rate of 25% of the total number of shares underlying the option grant. In determining the number of shares subject to the stock option grants, the Compensation Committee considers various subjective factors primarily relating to the responsibilities of the individual officers, and also to their expected future contributions and the number of shares owned by the officer or which continue to be subject to vesting under outstanding options previously granted to such officer. In addition, the Compensation Committee examines the level of equity incentives held by each officer relative to the other officers' equity positions and their tenure, responsibilities, experience, and value to CareScience.
Policy on Deductibility of Compensation
Section 162(m) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, limits the tax deductibility by a corporation of compensation in excess of $1 million paid to its Chief Executive Officer and any other of its four most highly compensated executive officers. However, compensation which qualifies as "performance-based" is excluded from the $1 million limit if, among other requirements, the compensation is payable only upon attainment of pre-established, objective performance goals under a plan approved by the corporation's shareholders.
The Compensation Committee does not presently expect total cash compensation payable for salaries to exceed the $1 million limit for any individual executive officer of CareScience. After consideration of the requirements of Section 162(m), the Compensation Committee believes that stock option grants to date meet the requirement that such grants be "performance-based" and are, therefore, exempt from the limitations on deductibility. The Compensation Committee will continue to monitor the compensation levels potentially payable under CareScience's cash compensation programs, but intends to retain the flexibility necessary to provide total cash compensation in line with competitive practice, our compensation philosophy, and CareScience's best interests.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
The compensation committee consists of Mr. Antoian and Dr. Harris. Neither of Mr. Antoian or Dr. Harris are our employees or our current or former officers. No interlocking relationship exists between any member of our compensation committee and any member of any other company's board of directors or compensation committee.
On June 15, 2001, we entered into loan and security agreements with some of our officers and directors in order to facilitate the purchase of CareScience common stock by the officers and directors of CareScience. The aggregate value of the loans is $420,000 with no director or executive officer receiving more than $50,000. Each of the loans is full recourse against the individual. Upon execution of the loan and security agreements, we issued 28,395 shares of our common stock to Mr. Antoian. On June 15, 2002, the loan due from Mr. Antoian was reduced by $17,243 in the form of forgiveness of one-third of the principal plus accrued interest under the loan agreement as of that date.
