Thrasher’s employment agreement provided for his employment as Executive Vice President – Americas and Asia Pacific Sales of the Company; his base salary payments throughout 2005 were at an annualized amount of $210,000, with a cash target bonus of 75% of his base salary, pursuant to an arrangement under which 25% of his target bonus was based on the achievement of certain corporate objectives under the terms of the Company’s performance bonus plan, and the other 75% of his target bonus was based on the achievement of specific revenue levels in the Americas and Asia Pacific regions. Jonathan K. Hustis’s employment agreement provided for his employment as General Counsel, Executive Vice President - Legal and Corporate Secretary of the Company; his base salary payments throughout 2005 were at an annualized amount of $210,000, with a cash target bonus percentage of 56% of his base salary pursuant to the terms of the Company’s performance bonus plan. Michael J. Cullen’s employment agreement provided for his employment as Executive Vice President – Engineering of the Company; his base salary payments throughout 2005 were at an annualized amount of $210,000, with a cash target bonus percentage of 54% of his base salary pursuant to the terms of the Company’s performance bonus plan. In addition to the target bonus, in the event that the Company overachieved certain targets each Named Executive Officer was eligible to receive an additional overachievement bonus equal to 25% of his target bonus amount (and in the case of Mr. Thrasher 25% of that portion of his target bonus that was based on the achievement of certain corporate objectives under the Company’s bonus plan). Each of the Named Executive Officers’ compensation is subject to annual review by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. Under the employment agreements, each Named Executive Officer is subject to non-competition, non-solicitation and non-disclosure covenants.
The employment agreement for each Named Executive Officer provides severance benefits in the event that his employment is terminated (1) by the Company other than for cause, or (2) by the Named Executive Officer for good reason (e.g., a change in his status, title, position or responsibilities; the Company’s requiring him to be based outside of the location of the Company’s corporate headquarters; or any material breach by the Company of a provision of the employment agreement). Upon such termination without cause or with good reason, the Named Executive Officer shall receive an amount equal to one times his base salary plus his annual target performance bonus. In addition, any stock options granted up to the date of termination vest immediately upon termination under such circumstances. The Company will also pay for COBRA benefits for the period of eligibility under COBRA.
The employment agreement for each Named Executive Officer also provides severance benefits in the event that, at any time during the twenty-four month period following a change in control of the Company, (1) his employment is terminated by the Company without cause, or by the Named Executive Officer for good reason (which includes the reasons set forth above, and also the failure by the Company to continue in effect the Named Executive Officer’s compensation or employee benefits in which he was participating prior to the change in control, or the failure of the Company to obtain an agreement from its successor to assume the employment agreement), or (2) his employment agreement is not renewed by the Company. Upon such termination, and in lieu of the severance benefits described in the preceding paragraph, the Named Executive Officer shall receive an amount equal to two times his base salary plus two times his annual target performance bonus. The Company will also pay for COBRA benefits for the period of eligibility under COBRA. In the event that the amount paid to the Named Executive Officer exceeds a threshold set forth in the employment agreement and is subject to the excise tax provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, the employment agreement provides that the Named Executive Officer shall be paid a gross-up payment to cover the payment of the excise tax. In addition, any stock options, restricted stock awards, or restricted stock unit awards granted up to the date of termination vest immediately upon termination, and the Named Executive Officer shall have one year following the date of termination to exercise any unexercised options held by him. A change in control is defined to include the acquisition by any person or group of, or the completion by any person or group of a tender or exchange offer for, beneficial ownership of more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities of the
-9-
Company; a merger or consolidation of the Company which results in those stockholders of the Company prior to such merger or consolidation holding less than 50% of the total voting securities of the surviving or resulting entity; a transfer of substantially all of the property or assets of the Company; or the election to the Board of Directors of the Company, without the recommendation or approval of the incumbent Board of Directors, of the lesser of three directors, or directors constituting a majority of the number of the directors of the Company then in office.
Each of the Named Executive Officers received options in 2005 to purchase shares of Common Stock. Under the terms of their respective option agreements, in addition to the vesting rights set forth above, if their employment terminates after a change in control occurs, they also will immediately vest in all shares that otherwise would have vested during the twenty-four months following the date their employment terminates.
Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
Neither of the members of the Compensation Committee during 2005, Lawrence J. Bouman or Royce J. Holland, is currently or has been, at any time since the formation of the Company, an officer or employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries. No executive officer of the Company served, during fiscal year 2005, as a member of the board of directors or compensation committee of any entity that has one or more executive officers serving as a member of the Company’s Board of Directors or Compensation Committee.

Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management
The following table sets forth, as of February 24, 2006, certain information with respect to shares beneficially owned by (i) each person who is known by the Company to be the beneficial owner of more than five percent of the Company’s outstanding shares of Common Stock, (ii) each of the Company’s directors and the executive officers named in the Summary Compensation Table and (iii) all current directors and executive officers as a group. Unless otherwise indicated, each person named below has an address in care of the Company’s principal executive offices. Beneficial ownership has been determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Under this rule, certain shares may be deemed to be beneficially owned by more than one person (if, for example, persons share the power to vote or the power to dispose of the shares). In addition, shares are deemed to be beneficially owned by a person if the person has the right to acquire shares (for example, upon exercise of an option or warrant) within sixty days of the date as of which the information is provided. In computing the percentage ownership of any person, the number of shares outstanding is deemed to include the amount of shares beneficially owned by such person (and only such person) by reason of such acquisition rights. As a result, the percentage of outstanding shares of any person as shown in the following table does not necessarily reflect the person’s actual voting power at any particular date. Applicable percentage ownership as of February 24, 2006 is based upon 49,966,180 shares of Common Stock outstanding.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
The Company’s Certificate of Incorporation limits the liability of its directors for monetary damages arising from a breach of their fiduciary duty as directors, except to the extent otherwise required by Delaware law. Such limitation of liability does not affect the availability of equitable remedies such as injunctive relief or rescission.
The Company’s Bylaws provide that the Company shall indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law, including in circumstances in which indemnification is otherwise discretionary under Delaware law. The Company has also entered into indemnification agreements with its officers and directors containing provisions that may require the Company, among other things, to indemnify such officers and directors against certain liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors or officers and to advance their expenses incurred as a result of any proceeding against them as to which they could be indemnified.
On October 26, 2005, the Company completed a private placement of $23 million of its Common Stock and warrants to purchase Common Stock. The proceeds of the private placement will be used to grow the Company’s business and for general corporate purposes. As part of the private placement, the Company entered into Purchase Agreements, dated October 26, 2005 (the “Purchase Agreements”) with each of Bonanza Master Fund Ltd. (“Bonanza”) and Brookside Capital Partners Fund, L.P. (“Brookside”), among other entities. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreements, the Company sold 1,666,667 shares of its Common Stock, at a per share price of
-12-
$3.00, and warrants to purchase an additional 833,333 shares of Common Stock to Bonanza for an aggregate purchase price of $5.0 million, and 3,666,667 shares of its Common Stock, at a per share price of $3.00, and warrants to purchase an additional 1,833,333 shares of Common Stock to Brookside for an aggregate purchase price of $11.0 million. With each share of Common Stock purchased, Bonanza and Brookside received a warrant to purchase 0.50 of a share of Common Stock. As a result of the private placement, Bonanza and Brookside each became beneficial owners of more than five percent of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock.
ITEM 14. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES
Fees Paid to Independent Registered Public Accounting Firms
Fees for all services provided by Grant Thornton LLP in 2005 and KPMG LLP in 2004, the Company’s independent auditors for years 2005 and 2004, respectively, are as follows:
Audit Fees. Fees for services for years 2005 and 2004 related to the annual financial statement audits, review of and assistance with quarterly and annual financial statements filed in the periodic reports on Form 10-Q and Form 10-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), consents related to such reports filed with the SEC, audits of internal control over financial reporting as required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, and statutory audits approximated $509,813 and $742,000 respectively.
Audit-Related Fees. Fees for audit-related services for years 2005 and 2004, primarily related to audits of financial statements of certain employee benefit plans, acquisition due diligence assistance, regulatory filings, the review of registration statements and the issuance of consents, and internal control related services (including assistance with compliance required by Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002) approximated $32,100 and $26,000 respectively.

Guidelines of the MetaSolv, Inc. Audit Committee for Pre-Approval of Independent Auditor Services
The Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Audit Committee”) has adopted the following pre-approval policies and procedures regarding the engagement of the Company’s independent auditor to perform services for the Company, and the Audit Committee approved all services performed in 2005 by Grant Thornton LLP and its related entities, in accordance with the Company’s guidelines:
For audit services (including statutory audit engagements as required under local country laws), the independent auditor will provide the Audit Committee with an engagement letter during the January-March quarter of each year, or such other time as is determined by the Chair of the Audit Committee, outlining the scope of the audit services proposed to be performed during the fiscal year. If agreed to by the Audit Committee, this engagement letter will be formally accepted by the Audit Committee at either its February or April Audit Committee meeting, or at such other time as may be determined by the Chair of the Audit Committee.
The independent auditor will submit to the Audit Committee for approval an audit services fee proposal after acceptance of the engagement letter.
For non-audit services, Company management will submit to the Audit Committee for approval (during July or October of each fiscal year, or at such time as may be determined by the Chair of the Audit Committee) the list of non-audit services that it recommends the Audit Committee engage the independent auditor to provide for the fiscal year. Company management and the independent auditor will each confirm to the Audit Committee that each non-audit service on the list is permissible under all applicable legal requirements, and that it does not jeopardize the auditor’s independence. In addition to the list of planned non-audit services, a budget estimating non-audit service spending for the fiscal year will be provided. The Audit Committee will approve both the list of permissible non-audit services and the budget for such services. The Audit Committee will be informed routinely as to the non-audit services actually provided by the independent auditor pursuant to this pre-approval process.
To ensure prompt handling of unexpected matters, the Audit Committee delegates to the Chair of the Audit Committee the authority to amend or modify the list of approved permissible non-audit services and fees. The Chair of the Audit Committee will report action taken to the Audit Committee at the next Audit Committee meeting.
-13-
The independent auditor must ensure that all audit and non-audit services provided to the Company have been approved by the Audit Committee. The Company’s Controller will be responsible for tracking all independent auditor fees against the budget for such services and shall report at least annually to the Audit Committee.
In accordance with the Company’s pre-approval policies and procedures set forth above, prior to the engagement of the Company’s independent auditors, the Audit Committee approves the engagement and the terms of such engagement. The Audit Committee approves all audit and non-audit services provided by the Company’s independent auditors prior to their engagement or commencement of such services, except for the provision of certain services (other than audit, review or attest services) for which pre-approval is not required, in part because the aggregate of the fees billed for such services is no more than 5% of the total amount of fees paid by the Company to its independent auditors and such services are approved by the Audit Committee prior to the completion of the audit. For the year ended December 31, 2005, none of the audit-related fees, none of the tax fees and $2,200 of all other fees were approved by the Audit Committee pursuant to the exception to pre-approval for certain de minimis services described above. In addition, for the year ended December 31, 2004, none of the audit-related fees, none of the tax fees and none of all other fees (of which there were none) were approved by the Audit Committee pursuant to the exception to pre-approval for certain de minimis services described above.
