2.: To approve the amendment and restatement of the certificate of incorporation of Iteris Holdings to: (a) automatically convert each outstanding share of Class B common stock into 1.1 shares of Class A common stock and remove the ability to issue any further shares of Class B common stock; (b) change the voting rights of the Class A common stock from one-tenth of one vote per share to one vote per share on all matters to be addressed by the stockholders; (c) change the name of the Class A common stock to "Common Stock;" and (d) change the name of Iteris Holdings to "Iteris, Inc."
3.: To ratify the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as the independent auditors of Iteris Holdings for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2005.
4.: To transact any other business which may properly come before the Annual Meeting or any adjournment(s) or postponement(s) thereof.

The Board of Directors has fixed the close of business on July 26, 2004 as the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Annual Meeting and at any continuation or adjournment thereof. A list of stockholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting will be available for inspection at the principal executive offices of Iteris Holdings.

We cordially invite all stockholders to attend the Annual Meeting. Whether or not you plan to attend, it is important that your shares be represented and voted at the Annual Meeting. You can vote your shares by completing and returning the enclosed proxy card.

Should you receive more than one proxy card or voting instruction form because your shares are held in multiple accounts or registered in different names or addresses, please sign, date and return each proxy card or voting instruction form to ensure that all of your shares are voted. You may revoke your proxy at any time prior to the Annual Meeting. If you attend the Annual Meeting and vote by ballot, any proxy that you previously submitted will be revoked automatically and only your vote at the Annual Meeting will be counted.

PROXY STATEMENT

ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
TO BE HELD SEPTEMBER 10, 2004

General

These proxy materials and the enclosed proxy card are being furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Board of Directors of Iteris Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Iteris Holdings" or the "Company"), to be voted at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on September 10, 2004 (the "Annual Meeting") and any adjournment or postponement of the meeting. The Annual Meeting will be held at 10:00 a.m., Pacific Time, at the Company's principal executive offices located at 1515 South Manchester Avenue, Anaheim, California 92802. These proxy materials and the form of proxy were first mailed to the Company's stockholders on or about August 6, 2004.

The mailing address of the Company's principal executive offices is 1515 South Manchester Avenue, Anaheim, California 92802.

Purpose of Meeting

The specific proposals to be considered and acted upon at the Annual Meeting are summarized in the accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Each proposal is described in more detail in this proxy statement.

Voting Rights

The record date for determining those stockholders who are entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Annual Meeting has been fixed as July 26, 2004. At the close of business on the record date, 24,762,636 shares of the Company's Class A common stock, par value $0.10 per share, and 922,067 shares of the Company's Class B common stock, par value $0.10 per share, were outstanding. The Company's Class A common stock and Class B common stock are collectively referred herein to as the "common stock."

Holders of the Class A common stock are entitled to elect 25% of the Board rounded up to the nearest whole number, or three directors. The holders of the Class A common stock and the holders of the Class B common stock, voting together as a single class, will be entitled to elect the balance of the Board, or six directors. Directors will be elected by a plurality of the voting power of the class or classes, as the case may be, of common stock entitled to vote and present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting, unless cumulative voting is in effect. With respect to the election of directors and when voting together as a single class, the holders of Class A common stock are entitled to one-tenth of one vote per share held and the holders of Class B common stock are entitled to one vote per share held.

Pursuant to the bylaws of Iteris Holdings, no stockholder is entitled to cumulate his or her votes (as described above) for candidates other than those whose names have been placed in nomination prior to the commencement of voting and unless at least one stockholder has given notice prior to commencement of the voting of his or her intention to cumulate votes. If any stockholder has given such notice, then each stockholder may cumulate votes by multiplying the number of votes of each class of common stock the stockholder is entitled to vote by the number of directors to be elected by such class. The number of cumulative votes thus determined may be voted all for one candidate or distributed among several candidates, at the discretion of the stockholder. The candidates receiving the highest number of votes, up to the number of directors to be elected by each class of common stock, will be elected. If cumulative voting is in effect, the persons named in the accompanying proxy will vote

the shares of each class of the common stock covered by proxies received by them (unless authority to vote for directors is withheld) among the named candidates as they determine.

Except as described above for the election of directors, holders of each class of common stock will vote at the Annual Meeting as a single class on all matters, with each holder of shares of Class A common stock entitled to one-tenth of one vote per share held and each holder of shares of Class B common stock entitled to one vote per share held. Proposals 2 and 3 require the approval of the affirmative vote of a majority of the voting power of the common stock present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on the matter. Proposal 2 also requires the approval of the affirmative vote of a majority of the Class B common stock present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on the matter.

The presence in person or by proxy of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the common stock entitled to vote will constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at the Annual Meeting. All votes will be tabulated by the inspectors of election appointed for the meeting, who will separately tabulate affirmative and negative votes, abstentions and broker non-votes. Broker non-votes occur when brokers who hold stock in "street name" return proxy cards stating that they do not have authority to vote the stock which they hold on behalf of beneficial owners. Abstentions and broker non-votes are counted as present for purposes of determining the presence or absence of a quorum for the transaction of business. Abstentions will be counted towards the tabulations of votes cast on proposals presented to the stockholders and will have the same effect as negative votes. Broker non-votes will not be counted for purposes of determining whether a proposal has been approved.

Proxies

Please use the enclosed proxy card to vote by mail. If your shares are held in "street name," that is, your shares are held in the name of a brokerage firm, bank or other nominee, in lieu of a proxy card you should receive from that institution an instruction form for voting by mail, the Internet or by telephone. Should you receive more than one proxy card or voting instruction form because your shares are held in multiple accounts or registered in different names or addresses, please be sure to complete, sign, date and return each proxy card or voting instruction form to ensure that all of your shares will be voted. Only proxy cards and voting instruction forms that have been signed, dated and timely returned will be counted in the quorum and voted. Properly executed proxies will be voted in the manner directed by the stockholders. If the proxy does not specify how the shares represented thereby are to be voted, the proxy will be voted FOR the election of the directors proposed by the Board unless the authority to vote for the election of any director is withheld and, if no contrary instructions are given, the proxy will be voted FOR the approval of Proposals 2 and 3 as described in this proxy statement and the accompanying notice.

The enclosed proxy also grants the proxy holders discretionary authority to vote on any other business that may properly come before the meeting as well as any procedural matters. We have not been notified by any stockholder of his or her intent to present a stockholder proposal at the Annual Meeting.

If your shares are held in your name, you may revoke or change your vote at any time before the Annual Meeting by filing a notice of revocation or another signed proxy card with a later date with the Company's Secretary, at the Company's principal executive offices at 1515 South Manchester Avenue, Anaheim, California 92802. If your shares are held in street name, you should contact the record holder to obtain instructions if you wish to revoke or change your vote before the Annual Meeting. If you attend the Annual Meeting and vote by ballot, any proxy that you submitted previously to vote the same shares will be revoked automatically and only your vote at the Annual Meeting will be counted. Please note, however, that if your shares are held in street name, your vote in person at the Annual Meeting

will not be effective unless you have obtained and present a proxy issued in your name from the record holder. Attendance at the Annual Meeting will not, by itself, revoke a proxy.

Voting Electronically via the Internet or Telephone

A large number of banks and brokerage firms are participating in the ADP Investor Communication Services online program. This program provides eligible stockholders who receive a paper copy of the proxy statement the opportunity to vote over the Internet or by telephone. If your voting instruction form does not reference Internet or telephone information, please complete and return the paper voting instruction form in the self-addressed, postage-paid envelope provided. Stockholders who vote over the Internet or by telephone need not return a proxy card or voting instruction form by mail but may incur costs, such as usage charges, from telephone companies or Internet service providers.

Solicitation

The enclosed proxy is being solicited by the Company's Board of Directors. The Company will bear the entire cost of proxy solicitation, including costs of preparing, assembling, printing and mailing this proxy statement, the proxy card and any additional material furnished to the stockholders. Copies of the solicitation materials will be furnished to brokerage houses, fiduciaries and custodians holding shares in their names that are beneficially owned by others so that they may forward this solicitation material to such beneficial owners. In addition, the Company may reimburse such persons for their reasonable expenses in forwarding the solicitation materials to the beneficial owners. The original solicitation of proxies by mail may be supplemented by a solicitation by telephone, facsimile or any other means by the Company's directors, officers or employees. No additional compensation will be paid to these individuals for any such services.

In the discretion of management, the Company reserves the right to retain a professional firm of proxy solicitors to assist in solicitation of proxies. Although the Company does not currently expect to retain such a firm, it estimates that the fees of such firm would range from $5,000 to $20,000 plus out-of-pocket expenses, all of which would be paid by the Company.

PROPOSAL NO. 1

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Nominees

Nine directors are to be elected at the Annual Meeting and hold office until their successors are duly elected and qualified at the next annual meeting of stockholders. Holders of Class A common stock are entitled to elect three of the nine directors to be elected at the Annual Meeting, and the holders of Class A common stock and the holders of Class B common stock, voting together as a single class, are entitled to elect the other six directors. The three candidates receiving the highest number of affirmative votes of shares of Class A common stock, present in person or represented by proxies and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting, will be elected as directors of Iteris Holdings, and the six candidates receiving the highest number of affirmative votes of shares of Class A common stock and shares of Class B common stock, voting together as a single class, present in person or represented by proxies and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting, will be elected directors of Iteris Holdings. When voting together as a single class, the holders of Class A common stock are entitled to one-tenth of one vote per share held and the holders of Class B common stock are entitled to one vote per share held. If cumulative voting is in effect, however, the proxy holders of each class of common stock will have the right to cumulate and allocate votes among those nominees standing for election with respect to such class of common stock as such proxy holders in their discretion elect.

meetings of those committees of the Board of Directors on which such person served, which were held during such period.

Iteris Holdings currently has three standing committees—the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.

Audit Committee. The Audit Committee oversees on behalf of the Board (a) the conduct of the accounting and financial reporting processes, the audits of the Iteris Holdings financial statements and the integrity of the its audited financial statements and other financial reports; (b) the performance of the internal accounting and financial controls function of Iteris Holdings; (c) the engagement, replacement, compensation, qualifications, independence and performance of the independent auditors for Iteris Holdings, and (d) the portions of the Code of Ethics and Business Conduct and related policies regarding the accounting, internal accounting controls or auditing matters of Iteris Holdings.

The current members of the Company's Audit Committee are Messrs. Seazholtz, Thomas and Wright, all of whom are "independent" under the SEC rules and the current AMEX listing standards regarding audit committee membership. The Board has identified Mr. Wright as the member of the Audit Committee who qualifies as an "audit committee financial expert" under applicable SEC rules and regulations governing the composition of the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee held six meetings during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004.

The Audit Committee meets privately with the independent auditors of Iteris Holdings, and the independent auditors have unrestricted access to and report directly to the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee has selected Ernst & Young LLP as Iteris Holdings' independent auditors for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2005 and is recommending that the stockholders of Iteris Holdings ratify this appointment at the Annual Meeting.

The Board of Directors initially adopted the Audit Committee Charter in 2000 and approved an amended and restated Audit Committee Charter in July 2002. The Board subsequently further amended and restated the Audit Committee Charter in March 2004, a copy of which is included as an Appendix to this proxy statement.

The Compensation Committee Charter is reviewed annually and revised as appropriate.

The current members of the Company's Compensation are Messrs. Daly, Seazholtz and Thomas. The Compensation Committee held one meeting during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004.

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. The primary purposes of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee are to: (a) identify, screen and review individuals qualified to serve as directors of the Company; (b) select or recommend to the Board of Directors the selection of nominees for election at the next annual meeting of stockholders; (c) recommend to the Board of

Directors candidates to fill any vacancies on the Board; (d) oversee the implementation and monitoring the effectiveness of the Company's corporate governance policies and developing and recommending to the Board modifications and or additions to such policies; and (e) reviewing on a regular basis the overall corporate governance of the Company and recommending improvements when necessary.

The Board of Directors adopted and approved a written charter for the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee in March 2004. A copy of such charter is attached to this proxy statement as an appendix and is available on the investor relations section of our website at www.iteris.com. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee Charter is reviewed annually and revised as appropriate.

The Nominating and Corporate Committee held no meetings during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004 because the members of such committee were not designated until after the end of such fiscal year. The current members of the Nominating and Corporate Committee are Messrs. Daly, Slutzky, Thomas and Wright.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider candidates for directors recommended by stockholders of Iteris Holding who meet the eligibility requirements for submitting stockholder proposals for inclusion in the Company's next proxy statement. This committee will evaluate such recommendations applying its regular nominee criteria. Eligible stockholders wishing to recommend a nominee must submit such recommendation in writing to the Chair, Nomination Committee, care of the Corporate Secretary of the Company, by the deadline for stockholder proposals set forth in the Company's last proxy statement, specifying the following information: (a) the name and address of the nominee, (b) the name and address of the stockholder making the nomination, (c) a representation that the nominating stockholder is a stockholder of record of the Company's stock entitled to vote at the next annual meeting and intends to appear in person or by proxy at such meeting to nominate the person specified in the notice, (d) the nominee's qualifications for membership on the Board, (e) a resume of the candidate's business experience and educational background as well as all of the information that would be required in a proxy statement soliciting proxies for the election of the nominee as a director, (f) a description of all direct or indirect arrangements or understandings between the nominating stockholder and the nominee and any other person or persons (naming such person or persons) pursuant to whose request the nomination is being made by the stockholder, (g) all other companies to which the nominee is being recommended as a nominee for director, and (h) a signed consent of the nominee to cooperate with reasonable background checks and personal interviews, and to serve as a director of the Company, if elected.

In connection with its evaluation, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may request additional information from the candidate or the recommending stockholder, and may request an interview with the candidate. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee has the discretion to decide which individuals to recommend for nomination as directors.

No candidates for director nominations were submitted to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee by any stockholder in connection with the election of directors at the Annual Meeting.

PROPOSAL NO. 2

APPROVAL OF THE AMENDMENT AND RESTATEMENT
OF THE COMPANY'S CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION

The Company currently has two classes of common stock outstanding—Class A common stock and Class B common stock. The rights, preferences and privileges of each class of common stock are identical in all respects except for voting and conversion rights. Currently, the holders of the Class A common stock are entitled to elect 25% of the Board of Directors rounded up to the nearest whole number, or three directors, and the holders of the Class A common stock and the Class B common stock, voting together as a single class, are entitled to elect the balance of the Board, or six directors. On all other matters to be addressed by a stockholder vote, the holders of Class A common stock have one-tenth of one vote per share held and the holders of Class B common stock have one vote per share held. In addition, each share of Class B common stock is currently convertible into one share of Class A common stock at the option of the holder of such Class B common stock. Holders of each class of common stock vote together as a single class on all other matters, unless otherwise required by law.

As of July 26, 2004, there were outstanding 24,762,636 shares of Class A common stock held by 513 stockholders of record and 922,067 shares of Class B common stock held by 94 stockholders of record. As of July 26, 2004, the outstanding Class B common stock represented approximately 4% of the Company's shares of outstanding common stock and approximately 27% to the total voting power of the outstanding common stock. Given the relatively few number of shares of Class B common stock currently remaining outstanding, the Board has determined that it is in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders to eliminate the extra class of common stock to simplify its capital structure and to reduce the expenses and confusion associated with maintaining two separate classes of common stock. The Company proposes to convert each outstanding share of Class B common stock into 1.1 shares of Class A common stock and to make other conforming changes to the Company's certificate of incorporation to provide that the Class A common stock, as the remaining class of common stock, be renamed "Common Stock" and that the voting rights of such shares be changed to one vote per share.

Iteris Holdings also currently intends to consolidate and merge with its subsidiary, Iteris, Inc., with Iteris Holdings as the surviving corporation in the merger. The Company currently holds more than 90% of the outstanding capital stock of Iteris, Inc. The roll-up transaction is anticipated to be completed within the next six months and is subject to the approval of the California Department of Corporations. In connection with of the merger of Iteris, Inc. into Iteris Holdings, the Company wishes to change the Company's corporate name from "Iteris Holdings, Inc." to "Iteris, Inc." in order to aid in communicating the completion of the consolidation of the two companies and to highlight the focus of the Company's business.

The stockholders are being asked to approve the amendment and restatement of the Company's certificate of incorporation to: (a) automatically convert each outstanding share of Class B common stock into 1.1 shares of Class A common stock and remove the ability to issue any further shares of Class B common stock; (b) change the voting rights of the Class A common stock from one-tenth of one vote per share to one vote per share on all matters to be addressed by the stockholders; (c) change the name of the Class A common stock to "Common Stock;" and (d) change the name of Iteris Holdings to "Iteris, Inc." The Board of Directors has determined that the proposed amendment and restatement of the Company's certificate of incorporation is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.

Stockholder Approval

The affirmative vote of (a) a majority of the voting power of the Class A common stock and Class B common stock of Iteris Holdings, voting together as a single class, present or represented and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting, and (b) a majority of the of the Class B common stock of Iteris Holdings present or represented and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting, will be required for the approval of the amendment and restatement of the certificate of incorporation as proposed in Proposal 2.

Recommendation of the Board of Directors

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT THE STOCKHOLDERS VOTE "FOR" THE AMENDMENT AND RESTATEMENT OF THE COMPANY'S CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION TO (A) AUTOMATICALLY CONVERT EACH OUTSTANDING SHARE OF CLASS B COMMON STOCK INTO 1.1 SHARES OF CLASS A COMMON STOCK AND REMOVE THE ABILITY OF THE COMPANY TO ISSUE ANY FURTHER SHARES OF CLASS B COMMON STOCK; (B) CHANGE THE VOTING RIGHTS OF THE CLASS A COMMON STOCK FROM ONE-TENTH OF ONE VOTE PER SHARE TO ONE VOTE PER SHARE ON ALL MATTERS TO BE ADDRESSED BY THE STOCKHOLDERS; (C) CHANGE THE NAME OF THE CLASS A COMMON STOCK TO "COMMON STOCK;" AND (D) CHANGE THE NAME OF THE COMPANY TO "ITERIS, INC."

(1): Mr. Miner's option was granted pursuant to the Company's 1997 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended (the "1997 Plan") and entitles him to purchase shares of Class A common stock of Iteris Holdings. The option has a maximum term of ten years, subject to earlier termination in the event of the optionee's termination of employment with Iteris Holdings or its subsidiaries. The option vests in equal monthly installments, subject to acceleration of vesting (a) in the event of the merger, consolidation or reorganization of Iteris Holdings if such option is not assumed or other wise continued in effect in such transaction or (b) in the case of a merger or consolidation with Iteris, Inc., if Mr. Miner is not offered the position of CEO in the consolidated company. In addition, the Compensation and Stock Option Committee has the authority to provide for the accelerated vesting of the option whether or not the option is assumed or other wise continued in effect or upon the termination of the optionee's employment following such transaction.
(2): The Company may also finance the option exercise by loaning the optionee sufficient funds to pay the exercise price for the purchased shares and the applicable federal and state withholding taxes to which the optionee becomes subject in connection with such exercise.
(3): The 5% and 10% assumed rates of appreciation are prescribed by the rules and regulations of the SEC and do not represent management's estimate or projection of future trading prices of the Class A common stock. Unless the market price of the Class A common stock does in fact appreciate over the option term, no value will be realized from the option grants. Actual gains, if any, are dependent upon numerous factors, including, without limitation, the future performance of the Company and its business units, overall business and market conditions, and the option holder's continued employment with the Company throughout the entire vesting period and option term, which factors are not reflected in this table.

2001 Option Exchange Program

In November 2001, Iteris Holdings implemented an option exchange program to address the substantial loss in value of the outstanding stock options held by Iteris Holdings' executive officers and the increasing inability of those options to serve as a meaningful incentive for optionees to remain employed with Iteris Holdings. Under the program, each executive officer who held outstanding stock options with an exercise price of $4.00 or more per share under the 1997 Plan or the 1994 Long-Term Equity Plan (the "1994 Plan"), was given the opportunity to exchange that option for a new option under the 1997 Plan for the same number of shares that would be granted at least six months and one day after the completion of the option exchange program.

On November 16, 2001, Iteris Holdings accepted for exchange and cancellation options to purchase an aggregate of 349,000 shares of Iteris Holdings' Class A common stock representing 100% of the options eligible to be tendered under the option exchange program. On May 20, 2002, Iteris Holdings granted new options to purchase an aggregate of 349,000 shares of Class A common stock under the 1997 Plan to replace the eligible options that had been tendered and cancelled under the program.

In general, the exercise price per share for the new options was $1.40, the last reported sales price of the Class A common stock on the grant date. In the case of Joel Slutzky, who is a holder of 10% or

more of the common stock, the exercise price per share for the new options was $1.54, or 110% of the last reported trading price of the Class A common stock on the grant date.

Each new option issued in exchange for a cancelled option will continue to vest and become exercisable for the option shares in accordance with the same vesting schedule in effect for the cancelled option.

The table below provides certain information concerning our executive officers who tendered eligible options in the option exchange program and the options that were cancelled pursuant to that program. Except for the November 2001 option exchange program, Iteris Holdings has not implemented any other option repricing or option cancellation/regrant programs.

Benefit Plans

Iteris Holdings maintains a 401(k) and Stock Ownership Plan (the "Stock Ownership Plan") which qualifies for favorable tax treatment under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Stock Ownership Plan is the result of the merger of the Iteris Holdings, Inc. Profit Sharing and 401(k) Plan and the Iteris Holdings Associates Stock Ownership Plan.

Employees become eligible to make pre-tax contributions to the Stock Ownership Plan pursuant to Internal Revenue Code Section 401(k) as of the January 1, April 1, July 1 or October 1 coincident with or next following the date on which they are hired. Participants may contribute an amount not in excess of $13,000 for calendar year 2004. Employees become eligible to receive an allocation of employer contributions to the Stock Ownership Plan as of the January 1, April 1, July 1 or October 1 coincident with or next following the date on which they have completed six months of service with Iteris

Holdings. These contributions may be made in the form of cash or Iteris Holdings stock. No contributions were made by Iteris Holdings to the Stock Ownership Plan for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2002, 2003 and 2004.

Contributions that are made to the Stock Ownership Plan are allocated to the separate accounts of participants and are held in a trust. Participant accounts are credited with investment gains and charged with investment losses. Participant contributions are always fully vested at all times, and the Iteris Holdings contributions on behalf of participants vest at the rate of 33¹/3 percent per year of service. Following termination of employment, the vested portion of the participant's account balance is distributed in a lump sum payment.

Iteris Holdings also maintains an Executive Deferral Plan which allows designated executives to defer the receipt of some of their current compensation until a future year. These executives may elect to defer the receipt of up to 75% of their annual compensation, but in no event may they elect to defer less than $5,000. Benefits are generally fully vested at all times, and are payable following termination of employment in the manner elected by the executive. The Executive Deferral Plan does not qualify for favorable income tax treatment under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code.

Employment Contracts, Termination of Employment Agreements and Change of Control Arrangements

Iteris Holdings does not currently have any employment contracts in effect with any of its Named Executive Officers other than the change in control agreement with Gregory A. Miner and Jack Johnson as described in "Certain Transactions" below. Iteris Holdings provides incentives such as salary, benefits and option grants to attract and retain executive officers and other key associates. The Compensation and Stock Option Committee, as Plan Administrator of the 1997 Plan, has the authority to provide for the accelerated vesting of outstanding options held by an individual, in connection with the termination of such individual's employment following an acquisition in which these options are assumed or the repurchase rights with respect to the unvested shares are assigned or upon certain hostile changes in control of Iteris Holdings. Other than such accelerated vesting and the agreements described below in "Certain Transactions," there is no agreement or policy which would entitle any executive officer to severance payments or any other compensation as a result of such officer's termination.

Compensation of Directors

Non-employee directors are also eligible to receive periodic option grants pursuant to the Automatic Option Grant Program under Iteris Holdings' 1997 Stock Incentive Plan. Under this plan, each non-employee director receives an option to purchase 20,000 shares of Class A common stock upon his initial appointment to the Board of Directors and an additional option to purchase 5,000 shares of Class A common stock on the date of each annual meeting after his appointment. Each option granted to non-employee directors under the Automatic Option Grant Program will have an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the Class A common stock on the grant date and will have a maximum term of ten years, subject to earlier termination following the optionee's cessation of service as a Board member.

Indemnification of Directors and Officers

Under Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, Iteris Holdings can indemnify its directors and officers against liabilities they may incur in such capacities, including liabilities under the

Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). The certificate of incorporation and the bylaws of Iteris Holdings provides that Iteris Holdings will indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by law, and the bylaws require Iteris Holdings to advance litigation expenses upon receipt by Iteris Holdings of an undertaking by the director or officer to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined that the director or officer is not entitled to indemnification. The bylaws further provide that rights conferred under such bylaws do not exclude any other right such persons may have or acquire under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.

Iteris Holdings' certificate of incorporation provides that, pursuant to Delaware law, its directors shall not be liable for monetary damages for breach of the directors' fiduciary duty of care to Iteris Holdings and its stockholders. This provision in the certificate of incorporation does not eliminate the duty of care, and in appropriate circumstances equitable remedies such as injunctive or other forms of non-monetary relief will remain available under Delaware law. In addition, each director will continue to be subject to liability for breach of the director's duty of loyalty to Iteris Holdings or its stockholders, for acts or omissions not in good faith or involving intentional misconduct or knowing violations of law, for actions leading to improper personal benefit to the director, and for payment of dividends or approval of stock repurchases or redemptions that are unlawful under Delaware law. The provision also does not affect a director's responsibilities under any other law, such as the federal securities laws or state or federal environmental laws.

Iteris Holdings has entered into agreements to indemnify its directors and certain of its officers in addition to the indemnification provided for in the certificate of incorporation and bylaws. These agreements, among other things, indemnify Iteris Holdings' directors and certain of its officers for certain expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and settlement amounts incurred by such person in any action or proceeding, including any action by or in the right of Iteris Holdings, on account of services as a director or officer of Iteris Holdings, or as a director or officer of any other company or enterprise to which the person provides services at the request of Iteris Holdings.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

The members of the Compensation and Stock Option Committee of Iteris Holdings' Board of Directors during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004 were Messrs. Daly, Seazholtz and Thomas. None of these individuals was an officer or employee of Iteris Holdings or its subsidiaries at any time during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004.

No executive officer of Iteris Holdings has served on the Board of Directors or on the compensation committee of any other entity that has, or has had, one or more executive officers serving as a member of the Board of Directors or on the Compensation and Stock Option Committee of Iteris Holdings.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

This report covers the Company's fiscal year ended March 31, 2004. The Compensation Committee for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004 was comprised of three outside directors, Messrs. Daly, Seazholtz and Thomas. The Compensation Committee recommends the general compensation levels for executives. The Compensation Committee meets periodically to review and recommend for approval by the Board of Directors, the salaries, bonuses and benefit plans for officers and key associates. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004, the Compensation Committee held one meeting.

General Compensation Policy

The guiding principle of the Compensation Committee is to establish a compensation program that aligns executive compensation with the Company's objectives and business strategies as well as with financial and operational performance. In keeping with this principle the Compensation Committee seeks to:

(1): Attract and retain qualified senior executives who can play a significant role in the achievement of the Company's goals;
(2): Reward executives for strategic management and the long-term enhancement of stockholder value; and
(3): Create a performance-oriented environment that rewards performance with respect to the financial and operational goals of Iteris Holdings.

In the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004, the annual compensation for the executive officers included base salaries and stock options.

The Company establishes salaries for the officers by considering the salaries of officers at comparably sized companies according to data obtained by the Compensation Committee from executive compensation consultants and from other independent outside sources, including the American Electronics Association annual survey of executive compensation.

A substantial portion of the compensation of executive officers is based upon the award of stock options which rely on increases in the value of the Company's securities. The award of options is intended to encourage executives to establish a meaningful, long-term ownership interest in the Company consistent with the interests of Iteris Holdings' stockholders. Under Iteris Holdings' stock option plans, options are granted from time to time to certain officers and key associates of the Company and its subsidiaries at the fair market value of the shares of Class A common stock at the time of grant. Because the compensation element of options is dependent on increases over time in the market value of such shares, stock options represent compensation that is tied to the Company's long-term performance. The award of stock options to the executive officers of the Company is determined based upon individual performance, level of base salary and position with the Company.

The Compensation Committee has reviewed the base salaries for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004 of each of the executive officers and is of the opinion that such salaries are not unreasonable in view of those paid by the Company's competitors and by other companies of similar size. The Compensation Committee also reviewed the stock options awarded to the executive officers for their services in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004 and is of the opinion that the option awards are reasonable in view of the officers' individual performance and positions with the Company.

CEO Compensation

In setting the total compensation payable to Gregory A. Miner, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004, the Compensation

Committee sought to make such compensation competitive with that provided by other companies with which the Company competes for executive talent.

With respect to the base salary of Mr. Miner, it was the Compensation Committee's intent to provide him with a level of stability and certainty each year. The Compensation Committee believes the base salary of Mr. Miner for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004 is at a competitive level with the base salaries in effect for similarly situated chief executive officers. The remaining components of Mr. Miner's compensation for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004, however, were primarily dependent upon corporate performance. Based upon such performance, among other factors, no bonus was paid to Mr. Miner for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004 and 200,000 options were granted to him for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004.

Compliance with Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m)

Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code generally disallows a tax deduction to publicly held corporations for compensation exceeding $1.0 million paid to certain of the corporation's executive officers. The limitation applies only to compensation which is not considered to be performance-based. The nonperformance based compensation to be paid to the Company's executive officers for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004 did not exceed the $1.0 million limit per officer, nor is it expected that the nonperformance based compensation to be paid to the Company's executive officers for the next fiscal year will exceed that limit. The Company's 1997 Stock Incentive Plan is structured so that any compensation deemed paid to an executive officer in connection with the exercise of option grants made under that plan will qualify as performance-based compensation which will not be subject to the $1.0 million limitation. Because it is very unlikely that the cash compensation payable to any of the Company's executive officers in the foreseeable future will approach the $1.0 million limit, the Compensation Committee has decided at this time not to take any other action to limit or restructure the elements of cash compensation payable to the executive officers. The Compensation Committee will reconsider this decision should the individual compensation of any executive officer ever approach the $1.0 million level.

CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS

In February 2002, the Company obtained a $1.25 million line of credit from Technology Lending Partners, L.L.C. ("TLP"), a California limited liability company that is controlled by Joel Slutzky, the Company's Chairman of the Board of Directors. Interest is payable on this line of credit monthly and accrues at the prime rate of interest designated by Bank of America from time to time plus 4%. In May 2003, in connection with Iteris Holdings' sale of the assets of its Zyfer, Inc. subsidiary, Iteris Holdings entered into a release of lien with TLP, pursuant to which Iteris Holdings repaid TLP $850,000 under this line of credit to obtain a release of TLP's security interest in the assets relating to the Zyfer business. As of July 1, 2004, no amounts are outstanding under this line of credit.

In October 2002, the Company entered into a Receivables Purchase Agreement with TLP, pursuant to which TLP advanced the Company an aggregate of $923,672 against certain of the Company's accounts receivable in exchange certain fees. As of March 31, 2003, the total fees earned by TLP in connection with this agreement were $111,248. Of the total amounts advanced, $232,347 remained outstanding and payable to TLP as of March 31, 2003. In May 2003, in connection with the Zyfer sale, the Company entered into an agreement with TLP, pursuant to which the Company repurchased the receivables remaining outstanding under this agreement, all of which related to the Zyfer business, for an aggregate repurchase price of $227,689. As of July 1, 2004, there were no outstanding factored receivables between TLP and Iteris Holdings.

In May 2003, the Company entered into change in control agreements with each of Greg Miner, the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer and a director of the Company, and John E. Johnson, a Vice President of Iteris Holdings and the President, Chief Executive Officer and a director of Iteris, Inc. In the event of an involuntary termination of the officer's employment within three months prior to or twenty-four months after a change in control, the agreement provides for a severance payment to such officer of 200% of such officer's annual base pay plus target bonus for the current fiscal year. In addition, such officer and his dependents are entitled to all insurance benefits for up to twenty-four months or until such officer obtains new employment with comparable benefits, whichever is earlier.

In July 2003, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with certain purchasers, including Mr. Miner, pursuant to which the Company sold an aggregate of 3,666,666 shares of its Class A common stock and issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 366,666 shares of its Class A common stock to seven accredited investors, including Mr. Miner, who participated in such private financing on the same terms as the other investors. Mr. Miner purchased an aggregate of 166,667 shares of the Class A common stock of Iteris Holdings at a purchase price of $0.60 per share, the closing sales price of the Class A common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board on the date of the agreement. In addition, in accordance with the terms of the agreement, Mr. Miner received a three year warrant to purchase up to 16,667 shares of the Class A common stock at an exercise price of $1.50 per share.

In September 2003, the Company sold the assets of its MAXxess subsidiary to MAIJ Corporation, which is currently owned by certain members of the MAXxess management team. Wes Appleby, the President of MAXxess, owned 331/3% of the capital stock of MAIJ Corporation as of the date of the sale. The purchase price for the assets of MAXxess consisted of the assumption of $2.7 million of liabilities of Iteris Holdings and its subsidiaries.

In May 2004, the Company entered into a Debenture and Warrant Purchase Agreement with a group of institutional investors, which included certain of our officers, pursuant to which we sold and issued subordinated convertible debentures in the aggregate principal amount of $10.1 million and issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 639,847 shares of our Class A common stock. The debentures are due in five years, provide for 6.0% annual interest, payable quarterly, and are convertible into our Class A common stock at an initial conversion price of $3.61 per share, subject to

certain adjustments, including adjustments for dilutive issuances. From May 19, 2007 until May 18, 2008, the debentures may be redeemed by us, at our option, at 120% of the principal amount being redeemed; and from May 19, 2008 until the maturity date of May 18, 2009, the debentures may be redeemed at 110% of the principal amount being redeemed.

Pursuant to the Debenture Purchase Agreement, each investor also received two warrants to purchase shares of the Class A common stock. For every dollar of debenture purchased, each investor received one warrant to purchase approximately 0.03235 shares of our Class A common stock at an exercise price of $3.83 per share and a second warrant to purchase approximately 0.03100 shares of our Class A common stock at an exercise price of $4.03 per share. The exercise prices are subject to certain adjustments, including adjustments for dilutive issuances. The warrants expire on May 18, 2009.

On June 30, 2004, the Company entered into an exchange agreement with certain of the holders of the common stock of Iteris, Inc., including Messrs. Miner, Mohaddes and Slutzky, pursuant to which such holders agreed to exchange an aggregate of 1,319,541 shares of Iteris, Inc. common stock for an aggregate of 2,639,082 shares of Iteris Holdings Class A common stock. The exchange of shares is part of a plan to merge Iteris, Inc. into Iteris Holdings, pursuant to which all of the outstanding shares of common stock of Iteris, Inc. will convert into shares of the Company's Class A common stock. The final step in this roll-up transaction is anticipated to be completed within the next six months and is subject to the approval of the California Department of Corporations. The foregoing transactions are part of a plan of reorganization to consolidate Iteris, Inc. into and with Iteris Holdings.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Under the federal securities laws, Iteris Holdings' directors and officers and any persons holding more than 10% of Iteris Holdings' common stock are required to report their ownership of Iteris Holdings' common stock and any changes in that ownership to the SEC. Specific due dates for these reports have been established, and Iteris Holdings is required to report in this proxy statement any failure to file by these dates. Based solely on its review of copies of the reports on Forms 3, 4 and 5 received by Iteris Holdings with respect to the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004, and the written representations received from the reporting persons that no other reports were required, Iteris Holdings believes that all directors, executive officers and persons who own more than 10% of Iteris Holdings' common stock, other than the persons noted below, have complied with the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) and have filed all reports required by such section, except as set forth below:

Each of Messrs.

APPENDIX B

Audit Committee Charter
of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of
Iteris Holdings, Inc.

Adopted as of March 18, 2004

1. Purposes.

The primary purposes of the Audit Committee (the "Committee") of Iteris Holdings, Inc. (the "Company") are to oversee on behalf of the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board"): (a) the conduct of the Company's accounting and financial reporting processes, the audits of the Company's financial statements and the integrity of the Company's audited financial statements and other financial reports; (b) the performance of the Company's internal accounting and financial controls function; (c) the engagement, replacement, compensation, qualifications, independence and performance of the Company's independent auditors, and (d) the portions of the Company's Code of Ethics and Business Conduct and related policies regarding the Company's accounting, internal accounting controls or auditing matters. The Committee's function is one of oversight only and shall not relieve the responsibilities of the Company's management for preparing financial statements that accurately and fairly present the Company's financial results and condition, or the responsibilities of the independent auditors relating to the audit or review of financial statements.

2. Composition.

(a) At Least Three Members. The Committee shall consist of at least three independent directors as defined in Section 2(b) below. The Board shall designate a Committee member as the Chairperson of the Committee, or if the Board does not do so, the Committee members shall appoint a Committee member as Chairperson by a majority vote of the authorized members of the Committee.

(b) Independence. All members of the Committee shall be "independent" as determined by the Board and as defined in the listing standards of the Nasdaq Stock Market or such other national securities exchange, if any, on which the Company's securities are then listed, as the same may be amended from time to time (the "listing standards"), Section 121A and Rule 10A-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), any other rules or regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and any other laws applicable to the Company

(d) Prohibition Against Past Involvement in Company Financial Statements. No Committee member shall have participated in the preparation of the financial statements of the Company or any current subsidiary of the Company at any time during the preceding three years.

(e) Appointment. Subject to the requirements of the listing standards and the Bylaws of the Company, the Board initially shall appoint the Committee members to serve until the first meeting of the Board following the next Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

Any member of the Committee may be removed, with or without cause, by the approval of a majority of the independent directors then

B-1

serving on the full Board. The Board may fill any vacancies on the Committee by a majority vote of the authorized number of directors.

3. Meetings; Reports and Resources of the Committee.

(a) Meetings. The Committee shall meet as often as it determines necessary or advisable, but not less frequently than quarterly. The Committee also may hold special meetings or act by unanimous written consent as the Committee may decide. The meetings may be in person or by telephone. The Committee shall keep written minutes of its meetings and shall deliver a copy of such minutes to the Board and to the Corporate Secretary of the Company for inclusion in the Company's minute books. The Committee periodically shall meet separately with management, the internal auditors and the independent auditors. The Committee may request any officer or employee of the Company or the Company's independent counsel or the independent auditors to attend a meeting of the Committee or to meet with any members of, or consultants to, the Committee. The foregoing notwithstanding, the Committee also may exclude from its meetings any persons it deems appropriate including, but not limited to, any director who is not a member of the Committee.

(b) Procedures. The Committee may establish its own procedures, including the formation and delegation of authority to subcommittees, in a manner not inconsistent with this Charter, the Company's Bylaws, applicable laws or regulations, or the listing standards. The Chairperson of the Committee or a majority of the Committee members may call meetings of the Committee. A majority of the authorized number of Committee members shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of Committee business, and the vote of a majority of the Committee members present at the meeting at which a quorum is present shall be the act of the Committee, unless in either case a greater number is required by this Charter, the Company's Bylaws, applicable laws or regulations, or the listing standards.

(c) Reports. The Committee shall report its actions and recommendations to the Board after each Committee meeting. The Committee also shall make regular reports to the Board regarding, among other things, any issues that arise with respect to the quality or integrity of the Company's financial statements, the Company's compliance with legal or regulatory requirements, the performance and independence of the Company's independent auditors, and the performance of the Company's internal audit function. The Committee shall provide to the Board at an appropriate time prior to preparation of the Company's proxy statement for its Annual Meeting of Stockholders, a report of the Committee, which report shall be included in such proxy statement. The report shall include such information as may be required under the SEC's rules and regulations.

(d) Committee Access and Resources. The Committee is at all times authorized to have direct, independent and confidential access to the Company's other directors, management and personnel, as well as to the Company's books, records and facilities, to carry out the Committee's purposes. The Committee shall have the sole authority, to the extent it deems necessary or appropriate, to retain and terminate independent legal, accounting or other experts or advisers selected by the Committee for matters related to the Committee's purposes. The Company shall provide for appropriate funding, as determined by the Committee, for payment of compensation to the independent auditors engaged for the purpose of preparing or issuing an audit report or performing other audit, review or attest services, compensation to any independent legal, accounting or other experts or advisers employed by the Committee, and ordinary administrative expenses of the Committee that are necessary or appropriate in carrying out the Committee's duties.

4. Authority and Responsibilities.

The Committee's role is one of oversight. The Company's management is responsible for preparing the Company's financial statements and for their accuracy, and the Company's independent auditors are responsible for auditing those financial statements. While the Committee has certain authority and

B-2

oversight responsibilities under this Charter, it is not the responsibility of the Committee to plan or conduct audits, or to determine that the Company's financial statements and disclosures are complete and accurate and are in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and applicable rules and regulations. In the absence of their reason to believe that such reliance is unwarranted, the Committee members may rely without independent verification on the information provided to them and on the representations made by the Company's management and independent auditors.

Additionally, the Committee recognizes that the Company's management, as well as the Company's independent auditors, have more time, knowledge and more detailed information concerning the Company than do Committee members. Consequently, in carrying out its oversight responsibilities, the Committee is not providing any expert or special assurance as to the Company's financial statements or any professional certification as to work of the Company's independent auditors. In addition, auditing literature, particularly Statement of Auditing Standards No. 71, defines the term "review" to include a particular set of required procedures to be undertaken by independent auditors. The Committee members are not independent auditors, and the term "review" as applied to the Committee in this Charter is not intended to have that meaning and should not be interpreted to suggest that the Committee members can or should follow the procedures required of auditors performing reviews of financial statements. Furthermore, the Committee's authority and oversight responsibilities do not assure that the audits of the Company's financial statements have been carried out in accordance with GAAP.

The Committee shall have the direct authority and responsibility to select, appoint, retain, compensate, evaluate and oversee the work of the Company's independent auditors (including resolving disagreements between management and the independent auditors regarding financial reporting) engaged for the purpose of preparing or issuing an audit report or performing other audit, review or attest services, and, if necessary or advisable in the Committee's sole discretion, to terminate and replace the Company's independent auditors. The Committee shall have the sole authority to approve all audit engagement fees and terms. The Company's independent auditors shall report directly and be accountable to the Committee.

The following functions and responsibilities are set forth as a guide with the understanding that the Committee has the authority to diverge from this guide as appropriate given the circumstances. The Committee, in carrying out its responsibilities, believes its policies and procedures should remain flexible to best react to changing conditions and circumstances, and that the Committee should take appropriate actions to set the overall corporate "tone" for quality financial reporting, sound business risk practices and ethical behavior.

To fulfill its purposes, the Committee shall:

Financial Statements and Disclosure Matters

(a) Review the Company's financial statements and, as part of that review, (i) review and discuss with management and the independent auditors, prior to public release: (A) the Company's annual audited and quarterly financial statements to be filed with the SEC; (B) the Company's disclosures under "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations;" (C) any certifications by the Company's principal executive officer and principal financial officer regarding the Company's financial statements, internal accounting and financial controls and procedures, and disclosure controls and procedures, that will be filed with or furnished to the SEC; and (ii) discuss with the independent auditors the matters of which the independent auditors inform the Committee and that are required to be discussed under applicable auditing standards; and (iii) make a recommendation to the Board regarding the inclusion of the annual audited financial statements in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K to be filed with the SEC.

(d) Discuss with management and review the Company's press releases regarding financial results, including the use of "pro forma" or "adjusted" non-GAAP information, as well as financial information and earnings guidance provided to analysts and rating agencies, prior to any public disclosure thereof. Such discussion may be done generally (for instance, discussing the types of information to be disclosed and the types of presentations to be made).

(e) Review and discuss with management and the independent auditors the existence and effect of any material off-balance sheet transactions, arrangements, obligations (including contingent obligations) and other relationships of the Company with entities of which the Committee is made aware whose accounts are not consolidated in the financial statements of the Company and that may have a material current or future effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, capital resources or significant components of revenues or expenses.

(f) Discuss with management and the independent auditors any significant new transactions or other significant matters or events not in the ordinary course of business that have occurred and their views of the accounting treatment given thereto.

(g) Review and discuss with management and the independent auditors (i) the accounting policies that may be viewed as critical; (ii) any significant changes in the accounting policies of the Company and any potential changes in accounting, auditing, review and financial reporting standards and regulations promulgated by authoritative standard setting or regulatory bodies that may have a significant impact on the Company's financial reports; and (iii) the independent auditors' views about management's choices among alternative accounting principles.

(h) Review and discuss periodically with legal counsel any legal and regulatory matters that may have a material impact on the Company's financial statements, or the Company's compliance policies and programs. Discuss with management and the independent auditors any correspondence with regulators or governmental agencies and any published reports that raise material issues regarding the Company's financial statements, disclosures or accounting policies.

(i) Discuss with management and the independent auditors the Company's significant financial risks or exposures and assess the steps management has taken to monitor, control and minimize such

B-4

risks or exposures. Discuss with management and the independent auditors the Company's systems and policies with respect to risk monitoring, assessment and management.

(j) Discuss with the independent auditors and management, before filing with the SEC any periodic report containing financial statements, the matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61 (as modified or amended from time to time), including the independent auditors' judgments about the quality, as well as the acceptability, of the accounting principles used and the judgments made in the preparation of the Company's financial statements.

(k) Consider and review with the independent auditors and management (i) the adequacy and effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls; (ii) all significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or operation of the Company's internal controls that are reasonably likely to adversely affect the Company's ability to record, process, summarize and report financial information; (iii) any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in the Company's internal controls; (iv) the adequacy and effectiveness of those portions of the Company's Code of Ethics and Business Conduct that relate to the integrity of the Company's financial reporting, including any changes to or waivers provided under such Code since the last review; and (v) the related findings and recommendations of the independent auditors together with management's responses.

Oversight of the Company's Relationship with the Independent Auditors

(l) At least annually, request and obtain from the independent auditors a formal written statement describing (i) all relationships between the independent auditors and the Company, consistent with Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1 (or any similar requirements as may be issued in the future by authoritative standards setting or regulatory bodies); (ii) the independent auditors' internal quality-control procedures; and (iii) any material issues raised by the most recent internal quality-control review, or peer review, of the independent auditors, or by any inquiry or investigation by governmental or professional authorities, within the preceding five years, regarding one or more independent audits carried out by the independent auditors, and any steps taken to deal with any such issues. The Committee shall actively engage in a dialogue with management and the independent auditors with respect to any disclosed relationships or services that may impact the objectivity and independence of the independent auditors from management and the Company, and shall take, or recommend that the full Board take, appropriate action in response to the independent auditors' report to satisfy itself of the independent auditors' objectivity and independence.

(m) Consider and pre-approve all permissible non-audit services that are not prohibited under Section 10A(g) of the Exchange Act and all audit, review and attest services (including the fees and terms thereof) to be performed for the Company by its independent auditors, subject to the de minimis exceptions for permissible non-audit services described in Section 10A(i)(1)(B) of the Exchange Act which are approved by the Committee prior to the completion of the audit. All such approvals shall be disclosed in the Company's definitive proxy statements for its Annual Meetings of Stockholders and additionally in its Annual Reports on Form 10-K if such information is not incorporated therein by reference to the proxy statement. The Committee may delegate the authority to grant pre-approvals to one or more members of the Committee, whose decisions must be presented to the full Committee at its next scheduled meeting.

(n) Review, evaluate and ensure the regular rotation of the lead or coordinating audit partners having primary responsibility for the audit, or the audit partners responsible for reviewing the audit, as required by Section 10A(j) of the Exchange Act.

(o) Establish clear policies, that are consistent with Section 10(A)(l) of the Exchange Act and Rule 2-01 of SEC Regulation S-K, for the Company's hiring of current or former partners, principals,

stockholders or employees of the independent auditors in an accounting role or a financial reporting oversight role at the Company (or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates).

(u) Review and discuss with management and the independent auditors, on an ongoing basis, any proposed transactions or courses of dealing with related parties identified in Item 404 of SEC Regulation S-K (such as directors, director nominees, executive officers, significant stockholders of the Company, or any of their immediate family members) for potential conflict of interest situations. In such review consider: (i) the financial accounting accorded the transaction or course of dealing; (ii) whether the terms or other aspects differ from those that would likely be negotiated with independent parties; and (iii) whether the proposed disclosure of the transaction or course of dealing is in accordance with GAAP.
