The value of each unexercised option is based on a market price of $5.875 per share, the last sale price of the common stock on the Nasdaq National Market on December 31, 1999, minus the per share exercise price, multiplied by the number of shares underlying the option. Employment and Severance Arrangements Until her resignation in May 1999, Nancy Hamilton was employed as our Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer pursuant to an employment agreement with us dated February 9, 1999. Under 5 the employment agreement, Ms. Hamilton is working as a part-time employee of SCC until May 2000, in exchange for the continuation of her base salary and benefits. Under the agreement, Ms. Hamilton's options vested in full as of May 1999. Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation The compensation committee currently consists of Darrell Williams, Winston Wade and Mary Beth Vitale. Mr. Williams, Mr. Wade and Ms. Vitale have never been officers or employees of SCC. From April 1998 through June 1999, the compensation committee consisted of Mr. Williams and John Hill, who resigned from the board in June 1999. None of the named officers have ever served as a member of the board of directors or compensation committee of any other entity that has or has had one or more executive officers serving as a member of our board or compensation committee. Director Compensation We reimburse our directors for all reasonable and necessary travel and other incidental expenses incurred in connection with their attendance at meetings of the board and committees of the board. In addition, all board members are eligible for compensation equal to $1,000 for each board and committee meeting attended in person and $500 for each telephonic board and committee meeting. Such compensation is payable in cash or stock at the director's discretion. Board members may be paid additional amounts for consulting services that extend beyond their normal board duties, although no such payments were made to date. Under the Discretionary Option Grant Program, each individual who first became a non-employee Board member was automatically granted an option to purchase 30,000 shares of Common Stock on the date such individuals joined the Board. Compensation Committee Report on Executive Compensation The compensation committee reviews and acts on matters relating to compensation levels and benefits plans for our executive officers and key employees. The compensation committee also provides for grants of stock awards, stock options, stock appreciation rights and other awards to be made under our existing incentive compensation plans. General Compensation Policy. The fundamental policy of the compensation committee is to provide our executive officers with competitive compensation opportunities based upon their contribution to our development and financial success and their personal performance. The compensation committee's objective is to have a portion of each executive officer's compensation contingent on our performance as well as on the executive officer's own level of performance. Accordingly, the compensation package for each executive officer is comprised of three elements: (1) base salary, which principally reflects an executive officer's performance and is designed primarily to be competitive with salary levels in the industry; (2) bonus, which principally reflects our performance; and (3) long-term incentive compensation, which strengthens the mutuality of interests between our executive officers and stockholders. Factors. The principal factors that the compensation committee considered in ratifying the components of each executive officer's compensation package for 1999 are summarized below. The compensation committee may apply entirely different factors in advising the chief executive officer and the board of directors with respect to executive compensation for future years. . Base Salary. The suggested base salary for each executive officer is determined on the basis of experience, personal performance, the salary levels in effect for comparable positions within and outside the industry, and internal base salary comparability considerations. The 6 weight given to each of these factors differs from individual to individual, as the compensation committee deems appropriate. . Bonus. The compensation committee may suggest a bonus for each executive officer determined on the basis of our performance, personal performance, and the bonus levels in effect for comparable positions within and outside the industry. The compensation committee establishes annual bonus amounts for each executive officer based on the bonus levels for comparable positions, and earned bonus amounts are based on performance results. The weight given to each of these factors differs from individual to individual, as the compensation committee deems appropriate. In addition, the compensation committee may from time to time award additional cash bonuses when it determines those bonuses to be in our best interest. . Long-Term Incentive Compensation. Long-term incentives are provided primarily through grants of stock options. The grants are designed to align the interests of each executive officer with those of the stockholders and to provide each individual with a significant incentive to manage SCC from the perspective of an owner with an equity stake. Each option grant allows the executive officer to acquire shares of the common stock at a fixed price per share, typically equal to the market price on the grant date, over a specified period of time of up to ten years. Options generally become exercisable in installments over a 50-month period, contingent upon an executive officer's continued employment with SCC. Accordingly, an option grant generally provides a return to the executive officer only if the executive officer remains employed by us during the vesting period, and then only if the market price of the underlying shares appreciates. The number of shares subject to each option grant is set at a level intended to create a meaningful opportunity for stock ownership based on the executive officer's current position, the base salary associated with that position, the size of comparable awards made to individuals in similar positions within the industry, the executive officer's potential for increased responsibility and promotion over the option term, and the executive officer's personal performance in recent periods. The compensation committee also considers the number of unvested options held by the executive officer in order to maintain an appropriate level of equity incentive for that executive officer. The compensation committee does not adhere to any specific guidelines as to the relative option holdings of our executive officers. Both Mr. Heinrichs and Ms. Nelson were granted options in 1999 as shown in the Summary Compensation Table. CEO Compensation. SEC regulations require the board of directors to disclose the basis for compensation paid to George Heinrichs, our President and Chief Executive Officer, in 1999 and to discuss the relationship between our performance factors and Mr. Heinrichs' performance in 1999. In advising the board with respect to Mr. Heinrichs' compensation, the compensation committee seeks to establish a level of base salary competitive with that paid by companies of comparable size within the industry and by companies outside of the industry with which we compete for executive talent. The base salary established for Mr. Heinrichs for 1999 on the basis of the foregoing criteria was intended to provide a level of stability and certainty each year. Accordingly, this element of compensation was not affected to any significant degree by our performance factors. Although the Company incurred losses during 1999, the Company was very successful in a number of key areas. Management completed several major strategic objectives that provide a strong foundation for SCC's future success. These include market demonstration and acceptance of the Direct Services model, launch of EWE, closure of several key contracts, growth in subscribers managed, creation of the 2000 Initiative Strategy and the passage of key Federal legislation which was important for the Company. Based on these accomplishments, the compensation committee awarded Mr. Heinrichs a bonus and option grants. Compliance with Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m). As a result of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, we are not allowed a federal income tax deduction for compensation paid to certain executive officers to the extent that compensation exceeds $1,000,000 per officer in any year. This limitation applies to all compensation paid to the covered executive officers that is not considered to have been performance based. The management incentive compensation plan contains provisions intended to ensure that any compensation deemed paid in connection with the exercise of stock options granted under the plan with an exercise price equal to the market price of the common stock on the grant date will qualify as performance-based compensation. The compensation committee does 7 not expect that the compensation that will be paid to either of our executive officers during 2000 will exceed $1,000,000. COMPENSATION COMMITTEE Mary Beth Vitale Winston J. Wade Darrell A. Williams Stock Performance Graph The graph depicted below shows a comparison of cumulative total stockholder returns for us, the Nasdaq Stock Market-US Index and a stock index comprised of companies in a line of business similar to our during the same period. [GRAPH APPEARS HERE] The graph covers the period from June 24, 1998, the initial date of the registration of our common stock under the Securities Exchange Act, to December 31, 1999. The graph assumes that $100 was invested on June 24, 1998 in our common stock and in each index, and that any dividends were reinvested. No cash dividends have been declared on our common stock. Benefit Plans 1998 Stock Incentive Plan The Company's 1998 Stock Incentive Plan (the "1998 Plan") is intended to serve as the successor equity incentive program to the Company's 1990 Stock Option Plan, as amended (the "Predecessor Plan"). The 1998 Plan was adopted by the Board and the stockholders on April 7, 1998 (the "Plan Effective Date"). A total of 2,560,768 shares of Common Stock have been authorized for issuance under the 1998 Plan, including automatic increases to date. The share reserve automatically increases on the first trading day of 8 each calendar year, beginning with the 1999 calendar year, by an amount equal to 3% of the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the last trading day in December of the immediately preceding calendar year, but in no event shall any such annual increase exceed 731,000 shares. To the extent any unvested shares of Common Stock issued under the Predecessor Plan are repurchased by the Company after the date on which the Common Stock is first registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), at the exercise price paid per share, in connection with the holder's termination of service, those repurchased shares will be added to the reserve of Common Stock available for issuance under the 1998 Plan, but in no event shall more than 476,776 shares be added to the reserve from such repurchases. In no event may any one participant in the 1998 Plan receive option grants, separately exercisable stock appreciation rights or direct stock issuances for more than 500,000 shares of Common Stock in the aggregate per calendar year. On the date on which the Common Stock was first registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act, outstanding options issued under the Predecessor Plan were incorporated into the 1998 Plan. No further option grants will be made under the Predecessor Plan. The incorporated options will continue to be governed by their existing terms, unless the Plan Administrator elects to extend one or more features of the 1998 Plan to those options. Except as otherwise noted below, the incorporated options have substantially the same terms as will be in effect for grants made under the Discretionary Option Grant Program of the 1998 Plan. The 1998 Plan is divided into five separate components: (i) the Discretionary Option Grant Program, under which eligible individuals in the Company's employ or service (including officers, non-employee Board members and consultants) may, in the Plan Administrator's discretion, be granted options to purchase shares of Common Stock at an exercise price not less than their fair market value on the grant date; (ii) the Stock Issuance Program, under which such individuals may, in the Plan Administrator's discretion, be issued shares of Common Stock directly, through the purchase of such shares at a price not less than their fair market value at the time of issuance or as a bonus tied to the performance of services; (iii) the Salary Investment Option Grant Program, which may, in the Plan Administrator's discretion, be activated for one or more calendar years and thereby allow executive officers and other highly compensated employees the opportunity to invest a portion of their base salary in special below-market stock option grants; (iv) the Automatic Option Grant Program, under which option grants will automatically be made at periodic intervals to eligible non-employee Board members to purchase shares of Common Stock at an exercise price equal to their fair market value on the grant date; and (v) the Director Fee Option Grant Program, which may, in the Plan Administrator's sole discretion, be activated for one or more calendar years and thereby allows non-employee Board members the opportunity to apply all or any portion of the annual retainer fee otherwise payable to them in cash each year to the acquisition of special below-market option grants. The Discretionary Option Grant and Stock Issuance Program are effective. The implementation date, if any, of the Automatic Option Program, the Salary Investment Option Grant Program and the Director Fee Option Program will be decided by the Compensation Committee. The Discretionary Option Grant Program and the Stock Issuance Program are administered by the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee as Plan Administrator has complete discretion to determine which eligible individuals are to receive option grants or stock issuances under those programs, the time or times when such option grants or stock issuances are to be made, the number of shares subject to each such grant or issuance, the status of any granted option as either an incentive stock option or a non-statutory stock option under the Federal tax laws, the vesting schedule to be in effect for the option grant or stock issuance, and the maximum term for which any granted option is to remain outstanding. The Compensation Committee also has the exclusive authority to select the executive officers and other highly compensated employees who may participate in the Salary Investment Option Grant 9 Program in the event that program is activated for one or more calendar years, but neither the Compensation Committee nor the Board will exercise any administrative discretion with respect to option grants made under the Salary Investment Option Grant Program or under the Automatic Option Grant or Director Fee Option Grant Program for the non-employee Board members. In the event the Plan Administrator elects to activate the Salary Investment Option Grant Program for one or more calendar years, each executive officer and other highly compensated employee of the Company selected for participation may elect, prior to the start of the calendar year, to reduce his or her base salary for that calendar year by a specified dollar amount not less than $10,000 nor more than $50,000. If such election is approved by the Plan Administrator, the individual will automatically be granted, on the first trading day in January of the calendar year for which that salary reduction is to be in effect, a non- statutory option to purchase that number of shares of Common Stock determined by dividing the salary reduction amount by two-thirds of the fair market value per share of Common Stock on the grant date. The option will be exercisable at a price per share equal to one-third of the fair market value of the option shares on the grant date. As a result, the total spread on the option shares at the time of grant (the fair market value of the option shares on the grant date less the aggregate exercise price payable for those shares) will be equal to the amount of salary invested in that option. The option will vest in a series of 12 equal monthly installments over the calendar year for which the salary reduction is to be in effect and will be subject to full and immediate vesting upon certain changes in the ownership or control of the Company. Should the Automatic Option Grant Program be activated in the future, each individual who first becomes a non-employee Board member will automatically be granted an option to purchase 15,000 shares of Common Stock on the date such individual joins the Board, provided such individual has not been in the prior employ of the Company. In addition, on the date of each Annual Stockholders Meeting, each non-employee Board member who is to continue to serve as a non- employee Board member will automatically be granted an option to purchase 3,000 shares of Common Stock, provided such individual has served on the Board for at least six months. Each automatic grant for the non-employee Board members will have a term of 10 years, subject to earlier termination following the optionee's cessation of Board service. Each automatic option will be immediately exercisable for all of the option shares; however, any unvested shares purchased under the option will be subject to repurchase by the Company at the exercise price paid per share should the optionee cease Board service prior to vesting in those shares. The shares subject to each initial 15,000 share automatic option grant will vest over a four-year period, as follows: (i) 25% of the option shares upon the optionee's completion of one year of Board service measured from the grant date and (ii) the balance of the option shares in a series of 36 successive equal monthly installments upon the optionee's completion of each additional month of service measured from the first anniversary of the grant date. The shares subject to each annual 3,000 share grant will vest upon the optionee's completion of one year of Board service measured from the grant date. However, the shares subject to each automatic option grant will immediately vest in full upon certain changes in control or ownership of the Company or upon the optionee's death or disability while a Board member. Should the Director Fee Option Grant Program be activated in the future, each non-employee Board member will have the opportunity to apply all or a portion of the annual retainer fee otherwise payable in cash to the acquisition of a below- market option grant. The option grant will automatically be made on the first trading day in January in the calendar year for which the retainer fee would otherwise be payable in cash. The option will have an exercise price per share equal to one-third of the fair market value of the option shares on the grant date, and the number of shares subject to the option will be determined by dividing the amount of the retainer fee applied to the program by two-thirds of the fair market value per share of Common Stock on the grant date. As a result, the total spread on the option (the fair market value of the option shares on the grant date less the aggregate exercise price payable for those shares) will be equal to the portion of the retainer fee invested in that option. The option will become exercisable for the option shares in a series of twelve (12) equal monthly installments over the calendar year for which the election is to be in effect. However, the option will become immediately exercisable for all the option shares upon (i) certain changes in the ownership or control of the Company or (ii) the death or disability of the optionee while serving as a Board member. 10 The Board may amend or modify the 1998 Plan at any time, subject to any required stockholder approval. The 1998 Plan will terminate on the earliest of (i) April 30, 2008, (ii) the date on which all shares available for issuance under the 1998 Plan have been issued as fully-vested shares or (iii) the termination of all outstanding options in connection with certain changes in control or ownership of the Company. The federal income tax consequences of the issuance and exercise of options under the 1998 Plan are summarized below. the summary is based on federal income tax laws in effect as of the date hereof. The summary does not constitute tax advice and, among other things, does not address possible state, local or foreign tax consequences. The grant of an option will have no tax consequences for the grantee or SCC. In general, the grantee will have no taxable income upon the exercise of an incentive stock option if the applicable incentive stock option holding period is satisfied (except that the alternative minium tax may apply) and SCC will is satisfied (except that the alternative minimum tax may apply) and SCC will have no deduction upon exercise of the incentive stock option. Upon exercising a non- qualified option, the grantee will recognize ordinary income in an amount equal to the difference between the fair market value on the date of exercise of the stock acquired on exercise and the option exercise price; SCC will be entitled to a deduction in the same amount, subject to the possible applicability of the $1,000,000 limitation on deductibility under Section 162(m) of the Code. Generally, there will be no tax consequence to SCC in connection with a disposition of shares acquired on exercise of an option, except that SCC may be entitled to a deduction upon disposition of shares acquired on exercise of an incentive stock option before the applicable holding period has been satisfied. Under current rulings of the IRS, a grantee who pays the exercise price for an option with SCC Common Stock does not recognize gain or loss with respect to the disposition of the stock transferred in payment of the option price. However, the grantee normally will recognize ordinary income upon the exercise of a non- qualified option in the manner discussed above. The grantee's basis in a number of acquired shares equal to the number surrendered will be the same as the grantee's basis in the surrendered shares; the grantee's basis in any additional shares received will be equal to the amount of income the grantee recognizes upon exercise of the option. 1998 Employee Stock Purchase Plan The Company's Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "Purchase Plan") was adopted by the Board of Directors in March 1998 and approved by the Company's stockholders in April 1998. A total of 200,000 shares of Common Stock have been reserved for issuance under the Purchase Plan. There is automatically added to the Purchase Plan in March of each year (i) that number of shares needed to restore the maximum aggregate shares available to 200,000 shares or (ii) a lesser amount determined by the Board. The Purchase Plan, which is intended to qualify under Section 423 of the Code, provides for two six-month offering periods each year beginning on the first of January and the first of July, respectively; however, the initial offering period began on March 1, 1998 and continued through December 31, 1998. The Purchase Plan is administered by a committee of at least two disinterested Directors appointed by the Board. Employees (including officers and employee directors) of the Company are eligible to participate if they are employed by the Company on a regular full time or part time basis and if they are regularly scheduled to work more than 20 hours per week. The Purchase Plan permits eligible employees to purchase shares of Common Stock through periodic payroll deductions at a price equal to the lower of 85% of the fair market value of the Company's Common Stock at the beginning or end of the offering period. Employees may end their participation in the offering at any time during the offering period, and participation ends automatically on termination of employment with the Company. The Board of Directors has the power to amend or terminate the Purchase Plan as long as such action does not adversely affect any outstanding rights to purchase stock thereunder. Limitations on Liability and Indemnification Matters The Company's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation eliminates, subject to certain exceptions, directors' personal liability to the Company or its stockholders for monetary damages for breaches of fiduciary duties. The Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation does not, however, eliminate or limit the personal liability of a Director for (i) any breach of the Director's duty of loyalty to the Company or its stockholders, (ii) acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions as provided in Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law or (iv) any transaction from which the Director derived an improper personal benefit. The Company's Restated Bylaws, which became effective June 23, 1998, provide that the Company shall indemnify its Directors and executive officers to the fullest extent permitted under the Delaware General Corporation Law and may indemnify its other officers, employees and other agents as set forth in the Delaware General Corporation Law. In addition, the Company entered into indemnification agreements (the "Indemnification Agreements") with each of its Directors and executive officers, which became effective on June 23, 1998. The indemnification agreements contain provisions that require the Company, among other things, to indemnify its Directors and executive officers against certain liabilities (other than liabilities arising from intentional or knowing and culpable violations of law) that may arise by reason of their status or service as Directors or executive officers of the Company or other entities to which they provide service at the request of the Company and to advance expenses they may incur as a result of any proceeding against them as to which they could be indemnified. The Company believes that these provisions and agreements are desirable to attract and retain qualified Directors and officers. The Company has obtained an insurance policy covering Directors and officers for claims that such Directors and officers may otherwise be required to pay or for which the Company is required to indemnify them, subject to certain exclusions. 11 Management Incentive Compensation Plan No formal plan was in place during 1999; however, on April 19, 2000, the Board approved a discretionary bonus of $120,000 for Mr. Heinrichs for 1999. 12 ITEM 12.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS Our certificate of incorporation generally eliminates directors' personal liability to us and our stockholders for monetary damages for breaches of fiduciary duties. The certificate of incorporation does not eliminate or limit the personal liability of a director for (1) any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to us or our stockholders, (2) any act or omission not in good faith or involving intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (3) any unlawful payment of dividends or unlawful stock repurchase or redemption or (4) any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. Our by-laws provide that we shall indemnify our directors and executive officers to the fullest extent permitted under the Delaware General Corporation Law and that we may indemnify our other officers, employees and agents as set forth in the Delaware General Corporation Law. In addition, we have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our directors and executive officers. The indemnification agreements require us to indemnify our directors and executive officers against specified liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors or executive officers of SCC or other entities to which they provide service at our request. The indemnification agreements also require that we advance expenses to our directors and executive officers incurred as a result of any proceeding against them as to which they could be indemnified. The indemnification agreements do not provide indemnification for liabilities arising from intentional or knowing and culpable violations of law. We intend to execute similar indemnification agreements in the future with other individuals who become directors or executive officers of SCC. We believe the indemnification agreements are desirable to attract and retain qualified directors and executive officers. We have obtained an insurance policy covering our directors and officers for claims that they may otherwise be required to pay or for which we are required to indemnify them. We provide 9-1-1 operations support systems, or OSS, services pursuant to a 9-1- 1 service agreement dated August 31, 1994 with Ameritech Information Systems. Under a master lease dated March 11, 1996, we lease personal property from Ameritech Credit Corporation. Ameritech Information Systems and Ameritech Credit Corporation are affiliates of Ameritech Development Corp., which beneficially owned approximately 14.8% of our common stock as of February 29, 2000. Under these agreements, we received net proceeds of approximately $6,979,000 in 1999. We believe that the terms of the transactions described above were no less favorable to us than would have been obtained from an unaffiliated third party. Any further transactions between us and any of our officers, 14 directors or principal stockholders will be on terms no less favorable to us than could be obtained from unaffiliated third parties and will be approved by a majority of the independent and disinterested members of the board of directors. 15 SIGNATURES Pursuant to the requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, therunto duly authorized, as of April 28, 2000.
