Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer
Orinda, California
July 2, 2008
It is important that you promptly vote your proxy by signing, dating and returning the enclosed proxy card. You may still attend the annual

later decide not to attend the annual meeting.
PROXY STATEMENT FOR ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
The Board of Directors (the "Board") of Intraware, Inc. (the "Company") is soliciting proxies for the 2008 Annual
Meeting of Stockholders (the "Annual Meeting"). The meeting will be held on August 6, 2008 at 10:00 a.m. at the Garden Room of the
Orinda Community Center, 26 Orinda Way, Orinda, California 94563. Our headquarters are located at 25 Orinda Way, Orinda, California 94563.
Our telephone number is (925) 253-4500.
Solicitation and voting materials, which include this Proxy Statement, the proxy card and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year
ended February 29, 2008, were mailed to stockholders on or about July 2, 2008.
Questions and Answers about the Proxy Materials and the Annual Meeting
Q: Why am I receiving this Proxy Statement?
A: This Proxy Statement describes proposals on which you, as a stockholder, are entitled to vote. It also gives you information on
these proposals so that you can make an informed decision.
Q: Who can vote at the Annual Stockholders Meeting?
A: Stockholders who owned common stock, Series A preferred stock, or Series B preferred stock directly, or "of
record," as of the close of business on June 19, 2008, the record date, may attend and vote at the Annual Meeting. Stockholders who
hold their shares indirectly through a brokerage account as of the record date may also attend the Annual Meeting, but will be subject to the
additional requirements described in paragraph (3) under the question below titled, "
How do I vote?
" Each share of common
stock is entitled to one vote. Each share of Series A preferred stock is entitled to one vote. Each share of Series B preferred stock is
entitled to one thousand votes. As of June 19, 2008, there were issued 6,287,905 shares of common stock, 13,812 shares of
Series A Preferred Stock, and 1,000 shares of Series B preferred stock.
Q: What is the proxy card?
A: The proxy card enables you to appoint each of Peter H. Jackson and Wendy A. Nieto as your representatives at the Annual
Meeting. By completing and returning the proxy card, you are authorizing each of Mr. Jackson and Ms. Nieto to vote your shares at
the meeting, as you have instructed them on the proxy card. This way, your shares will be voted whether or not you attend the meeting. Even if
you plan to attend the meeting, it is a good idea to complete and return your proxy card before the meeting date just in case your plans
change.
If a proposal comes up for vote at the meeting that is not on the proxy card, Mr. Jackson or Ms. Nieto will vote your shares
represented by your proxy according to their judgment.
Q: What am I voting on?
A: You are being asked to vote on:
-
the election of two directors; and
-
the ratification our Audit Committee's selection of BDO Seidman LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm.
We also will transact any other business that properly comes before the meeting.
Q: How do I vote?
A
: (1) You may vote by mail.
You do this by completing, signing and dating your proxy card and returning it in the enclosed, postage-paid and addressed envelope. If
you mark your voting instructions on the proxy card, your shares will be voted:
-
as you instruct; and
-
according to the judgment of Mr. Jackson and Ms. Nieto if any other matter comes up for vote at the meeting that is not on the
proxy card.
-2-
If you return a signed card, but do not provide voting instructions, your shares will be voted:
-
FOR the two named nominees for directors;
-
FOR the ratification of our Audit Committee's selection of BDO Seidman LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm; and
-
according to the judgment of Mr. Jackson and Ms. Nieto if any other matter comes up for a vote at the meeting that is not on the
proxy card.
(2) For shares registered in the name of a brokerage firm or bank (shares in street name), you may be able to vote by telephone or
Internet.
If you hold your shares in "street name," a number of brokerage firms and banks that may hold your shares are participating in
a program provided through Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. that offers telephone and Internet voting options. Holding shares in "street
name" means you hold them through a brokerage firm, bank or other nominee, and therefore the shares are not held in your individual
name.
If your shares are held in an account at a brokerage firm or bank participating in the Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. program, you may
vote those shares by calling the telephone number which appears on your voting form or through the Internet in accordance with instructions set
forth on the voting form.
(3) You may vote in person at the meeting.
We will pass out written ballots to anyone who wants to vote at the meeting. However, if you hold your shares in "street
name," you must bring to the meeting a "legal proxy" from the broker, bank or other nominee holding your shares that confirms
your beneficial ownership of the shares and gives you the right to vote your shares.
We encourage you to examine your proxy card closely to make sure you are voting all of your shares in the Company.
Q: What does it mean if I receive more than one proxy card?
A: You may have multiple accounts listed with the transfer agent and/or with brokerage firms. Please sign and return all proxy cards
to ensure that all of your shares are voted.
Q: What if I change my mind after I return my proxy?
A: You may revoke your proxy and change your vote at any time before the polls close at the meeting. You may do this by:
-
sending a written notice to the Secretary of the Company at 25 Orinda Way, Orinda, California 94563 stating that you would like to revoke
your proxy of a particular date;
-
signing another proxy with a later date and returning it before the polls close at the meeting; or
-
attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person.
Please note, however, that if your shares are held in street name by a brokerage firm, bank or other nominee, you must instruct your broker,
bank or other nominee that you wish to change your vote by following the procedures on your voting form. If your shares are held in street name
and you wish to attend the meeting and vote at the meeting, you must bring to the meeting a legal proxy from the broker, bank or other nominee
holding your shares, confirming your beneficial ownership of the shares and giving you the right to vote your shares.
Q: Will my shares be voted if I do not sign and return my proxy card?
A: (1) If your shares are held in street name, your brokerage firm, under certain circumstances, may vote your shares. The
circumstances under which a broker may vote shares which are held in street name are described more fully under the question below titled,
"What is a `broker nonvote' and what impact do broker nonvotes have on the votes taken at the stockholder meeting?"
-3-
(2) If your shares are in your name and you do not sign and return your proxy card, your shares
will not be voted unless you vote in person at the meeting.
Q: How can I vote on each proposal?
A: You may vote:
-
either "for" each director nominee or "withhold" your vote from any one or more of the nominees; and
-
"for," "against," or "abstain" for all other proposals.
Q: How many stockholders are needed either in person or by proxy to hold the Annual Meeting?
A: To hold the Annual Meeting and conduct business, a majority of the Company's outstanding shares entitled to vote as of the close
of business on June 19, 2008 must be present at the Annual Meeting. This is called a quorum.
Shares are counted as present at the Annual Meeting if the stockholder either:
-
is present and votes in person at the Annual Meeting; or
-
has properly submitted a proxy card (including voting by telephone or using the Internet).
Shares voted "for all" or "for all except" in connection with the election of directors and shares voted "for,"
"against," or "abstain" for all other proposals are counted as present in person or by proxy. The impact of broker nonvotes
in establishing a quorum is described in the answer to the question below titled
"What is a `broker nonvote' and what impact do broker
nonvotes have on votes taken at the stockholder Annual Meeting?"
Q: What effect does an abstention have on the votes taken at the Annual Meeting?
A: Other than in the case of the election of directors, in which case an abstention has no effect on the outcome, abstentions generally
have the same effect as a vote against a proposal.
Q: What is a "broker nonvote" and what impact do broker nonvotes have on the votes taken at the stockholder Annual
Meeting?
A: Under applicable rules, a bank, broker, or other nominee may exercise discretionary authority to vote shares for the election of
directors and certain routine matters if specific instructions are not received from the holder of the shares. However, on any non-routine matters,
brokers may not exercise discretionary authority.
A "broker nonvote" occurs when a nominee holding shares for a beneficial owner does not vote on a particular proposal because
the nominee does not have discretionary voting power with respect to that item and has not received instructions from the beneficial owner as to
how to vote such shares. The broker nonvotes generally would count to establish a quorum for the Annual Meeting, but would not be counted for
or against the two proposals on the ballot this year.
Q: Does the Company's common stock and voting preferred stock vote separately on any matter?
A. Our common stock and voting preferred stock vote together as a single class (on an as converted to common stock basis) on all
matters expected to be submitted to a vote of the stockholders at the Annual Meeting.
Q: How many votes must the nominees have to be elected as directors?
A: The two nominees receiving the highest number of "yes" votes from the shares of the common stock and voting
preferred stock (voting on an as converted to common stock basis) will be elected as directors. This number is called a plurality. Since the
directors are elected by a plurality, abstentions and broker nonvotes will have no effect on the outcome of the election of directors.
Q: What happens if the nominees are unable to stand for re-election?
A: The Board may, by resolution, reduce the number of directors or designate substitute nominees. In the event of a substitution, if
you have completed and returned your proxy, either of Mr. Jackson or Ms. Nieto can vote your shares for substitute nominees. They
cannot vote for more than two nominees.
-4-
Q: How many votes are required to approve the ratification of the Audit Committee's selection of BDO Seidman LLP as the Company' s
independent registered public accounting firm?
A: A majority of the shares of common stock and voting preferred stock present in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting and
entitled to vote, voting together as a single class.
Q: Is my vote kept confidential?
A: Proxies, ballots and voting tabulations identifying stockholders are kept confidential and will not be disclosed except as may be
necessary to meet legal requirements.
Q: Where do I find the voting results of the Annual Meeting?
A: We will announce preliminary voting results at the Annual Meeting. We will publish the final results in our quarterly report on Form
10-Q for our quarter ending August 31, 2008. We will file that report with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), and
you can get a copy by calling the SEC at (800) SEC-0330 for the location of the nearest public reference room, or through the Internet at
www.sec.gov or www.intraware.com.
Q: Who can help answer my questions?
A: You can call Jason Golz of FD Ashton Partners at (415) 293-4411, or email him at ir@intraware.com, regarding the proposals
described in this Proxy Statement or how to vote.

ratify, this appointment. If the stockholders do not ratify the appointment, the Audit Committee will reconsider its selection of an independent
registered public accounting firm.
The Company expects representatives of BDO Seidman to be present at the Annual Meeting. They will have an opportunity to make a
statement, if they desire to do so, and will be available to respond to appropriate questions.

OTHER BUSINESS
The Board knows of no other business for consideration at the Annual Meeting. If other matters are properly presented at the Annual

by them in accordance with their judgment on such matters.
-6-
BOARD OF DIRECTORS
The Company's Board is currently composed of six members. Five of the directors are deemed to be independent directors under
applicable Nasdaq rules: Brendan A. McLoughlin, Raymond L. Ocampo Jr., Peter F. Pervere, Bradley M. Shuster and Alexander H. Danzberger,
Jr. Two directors, Messrs. Pervere and Shuster are nominees for re-election this year. The remaining four directors will continue to serve
the terms described below.
The directors serve staggered terms. This is accomplished as follows:
-
the Board is divided into three classes;
-
the classes are as nearly equal in number as possible;
-
the term of each class begins on a staggered schedule; and
-
each director serves a three-year term.
Unless otherwise instructed, the proxy holders will vote the proxies received by them for the two named nominees, both of whom are currently
directors of the Company. In the event that any nominee of the Company is unable or declines to serve as a director at the time of the Annual
Meeting, the proxies will be voted for any nominee who shall be designated by the present Board to fill the vacancy. In the event additional
persons are nominated for election as directors, the proxy holders intend to vote all proxies received by them in such a manner as will ensure the
election of as many of the nominees listed below as possible. The term of office of each person elected as a director will continue until the 2011
annual meeting of stockholders or until his successor has been duly elected and qualified, or until his earlier death, resignation or removal. We do
not expect any nominee will be unable or unwilling to serve as a director.
Information on the Nominees and Other Directors
Below is information on the nominees for Class I directors and on the directors whose terms continue after this year's Annual Meeting.

Board of Directors and Corporate Governance
Corporate governance is typically defined as the system that allocates duties and authority among a company's stockholders, board of
directors and management. The Company's stockholders elect the Board, ratify the appointment of the Company's independent registered public
accounting firm, and vote on extraordinary matters; the Board is the Company's governing body, responsible for hiring, overseeing and evaluating
management, particularly the Chief Executive Officer; and management runs the Company's day-to-day operations.
Independent Directors
Each of the directors of the Company, other than Mr. Jackson, qualifies as "independent" under the listing requirements
of The Nasdaq Stock Market. The Nasdaq independence definition includes a series of objective tests, such as that the director is not an
employee of the Company and has not engaged in various types of business dealings with the Company. Further, as required by the Nasdaq
rules, the Board has made a subjective determination as to each independent director that no relationships exist which, in the opinion of the Board,
would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of the director. In addition, the Board appointed
Mr. Pervere as its Lead Independent Director in June 2006.
Each member of the Company's Audit Committee qualifies as "independent" under special standards established by the SEC for
members of audit committees, and the Audit Committee includes at least one member who is determined by the Board to meet the qualifications of
an "audit committee financial expert" in accordance with SEC rules. Peter F. Pervere is the independent director who the Board has
determined to be qualified as an "Audit Committee financial expert." This designation is based on Mr. Pervere's experience in
and understanding of accounting and auditing matters, in accordance with SEC rules. It does not impose any greater duties, obligations or liability
on Mr. Pervere than are generally imposed on him as a member of the Audit Committee and of the Board, and his designation as an
"audit committee financial expert" for purposes of the SEC rules does not affect the duties, obligations or liability of any other member
of the Audit Committee or Board.
Board Responsibilities and Structure
The primary responsibilities of the Board are oversight, counseling and direction to Company management in the long-term interests of the
Company and its stockholders. The Board's detailed responsibilities include: (a) selecting the Chief Executive Officer and other senior
executives, and, through the Compensation Committee, regularly evaluating their performance and approving their compensation;
(b) reviewing and, where appropriate, approving the Company's major financial objectives, strategic and operating plans, and actions;
(c) overseeing the conduct of the Company's business to evaluate whether the business is being properly managed; and (d) through
the Audit Committee and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, overseeing the processes for maintaining the integrity of the
Company's financial statements and other public disclosures, and compliance with laws and ethics. The Company's Chief Executive Officer,
working with the other executive officers, has the authority and responsibility for managing the business in a manner consistent with corporate
standards and practices, and in accordance with any specific plans, instructions or directions of the Board. The Chief Executive Officer and
management are responsible for seeking the advice and, in appropriate situations, the approval of the Board regarding extraordinary actions to be
undertaken by the Company.
The Board and its committees meet throughout the year on a set schedule, and also hold special meetings and act by written consent from
time to time as appropriate. Board agendas include regularly scheduled sessions for the independent directors to meet without management
present. The Board has delegated various responsibilities and authority to different Board committees, as generally described below. Directors
have access to all the Company employees outside of Board meetings.
Board Committees and Charters
The Board currently has, and appoints the members of, standing Audit, Compensation, and Nominating and Corporate Governance
committees. The Board also currently has a temporary Special Litigation Committee, whose members are appointed by the Board. Each member
of the Audit, Compensation, Nominating and Corporate Governance, and Special Litigation committees is an independent director in accordance
with the Nasdaq standards described above. Each of the standing Board committees has a written charter approved by the Board. Copies of the
committee charters are posted on our web site at
http://www.intraware.com/investors/board_committees.php.

The table below describes the Board's committees, the current membership of those committees and the number of meetings held by
each committee in our 2008 fiscal year. The committees, including the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, also acted by action by
unanimous written consent outside of the listed meetings. The Board may establish other committees as it deems appropriate.

|
Attendance at Meetings
All directors are expected to attend each meeting of the Board and the committees on which they serve, and are strongly encouraged to
attend the annual meetings of stockholders. Three of the Company directors attended last year's annual meeting of stockholders. Non-employee
directors receive per-meeting fees for Board and committee meetings only if they attend the meetings in person or via teleconference (see
"
Director Compensation
" below). The Board held five meetings during our last fiscal year, which ended February 29, 2008. Each
director attended at least 75% percent of the aggregate of (a) all Board meetings held during the period that person was a director and
(b) all meetings of Board committees on which that person served which were held during the period he served. The Board does not have a
formal policy that seeks to limit the number of outside directorships held by a director, but the Board's guideline of attendance at all meetings
reflects the Board's expectation that each director will meet his or her commitments to the position.

All of the Company's non-employee directors receive both cash and equity compensation for their service on the Board and
its various committees, with the exception of Mr. Danzberger, who was nominated by Digital River in accordance with our Series B Preferred
Stock Purchase Agreement with Digital River dated November 9, 2005 ("Series B Purchase Agreement"). In connection
with the Series B Purchase Agreement, Digital River became entitled to have the Company's Board appoint or nominate, as applicable, a
representative to a seat on the Company's Board. Digital River will continue to have these rights so long as it owns ten percent or more of the
Company's outstanding common stock (on an as-converted to common stock basis). However, Board members who are nominated by Digital
River under the Series B Purchase Agreement receive no compensation for their Board service. Accordingly, all references to the cash or equity compensation of our
non-employee directors below
exclude
Board members who are appointed or nominated under the Series B Purchase
Agreement.
Our other non-employee directors receive the following cash compensation:
• The Chairman receives an annual retainer of $7,500 if he or she is a non-employee director.
• The Lead Independent Director receives an annual retainer of $7,500.
• Each other non-employee director receives an annual retainer of $5,000.
• Each non-employee director receives a $500 fee per Board meeting attended.
-
For Audit Committee membership:
• The Chairman receives an annual retainer of $6,000.
-11-
• Each other committee member receives an annual retainer of $4,000.
• Each committee member receives a $500 fee per committee meeting attended.
-
For membership on each other standing Board committee (excluding special or temporary committees):
• The Chairman receives an annual retainer of $4,500.
• Each other committee member receives an annual retainer of $3,000.
• Each committee member receives a $500 fee per committee meeting attended.
In addition, we reimburse non-employee directors for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in attending Board and committee
meetings.
Non-employee directors also receive automatic, nondiscretionary grants of restricted stock units at the time
they become directors and annually thereafter. A non-employee director receives an initial grant of 4,000
restricted stock units on the date such director is either first appointed or elected to the Board, and receives
a grant of 4,000 restricted stock units each year thereafter on the date of the annual meeting of stockholders
if the director has served on the Board for six months before the annual meeting. Each restricted Stock
Unit grant shall vest over two years, with 50% of the restricted stock units vesting on the one year
anniversary of the date of grant, and the balance vesting in quarterly installments over the remaining 12
months.
Messrs. McLoughlin, Ocampo, and Shuster each received a grant of 4,000 restricted stock units and Mr.
Pervere received 7,500 restricted stock units, on the date of the annual meeting of stockholders in August
2007. We did not grant a stock award to our remaining non-employee director, Mr. Danzberger, because
he serves on the Board without compensation under the Series B Purchase Agreement. The grants were
made from our 2006 Equity Incentive Plan, which was approved by our stockholders at our 2006 annual
meeting.
The Company's employee director receives no compensation for their service as directors, and we have no plans to change that practice.
Compensation received by Mr. Jackson for his services as Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President is described below under the
heading "
Other Executive Compensation Matters
."
Director Nomination Process
The Company's process for nominating directors is governed by the charter for the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.
That charter is posted on our corporate website at:
http://www.intraware.com/library/corporate_governance/nominating_corp_gov_comm_charter_7-9-03.pdf
.
All of the members of our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee are independent in accordance with Nasdaq Stock Market
rules.
The charter for the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee provides that, as part of the committee's consideration of qualified
candidates for nomination as directors, it shall evaluate stockholder nominees where applicable. In accordance with the charter, the committee
will nominate only those candidates, including candidates recommended by stockholders, who:
-
have the highest personal and professional integrity,
-
have strong business experience,
-
have demonstrated exceptional ability and judgment, and
-
can be most effective, in conjunction with the members of and other nominees to the Board, in collectively serving the long-term interests of
our stockholders.
The committee will also consider the then-current makeup of the Board and its committees and whether the background and expertise of the
candidate complement, or address any gaps perceived by the Committee in, those of the other directors and nominees.
-12-
The committee identifies potential Board candidates using a variety of channels, including current and former business associates, the
Company's stockholders, executives and directors in related industries, and relevant publications. The committee will typically evaluate
candidates by reviewing their resumes and biographical materials, analyzing the companies or organizations where the candidates have worked
and the performance of those companies or organizations during the candidates' tenure, interviewing the candidates, and consulting with people
who know and have worked with the candidates. The manner in which the committee evaluates candidates is the same for candidates
recommended by stockholders as for other candidates.
Stockholders may submit recommendations to the committee for Board nominees by sending those recommendations to:
Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee
c/o Corporate Secretary
Intraware, Inc.
25 Orinda Way
Orinda, CA 94563
The Company's Corporate Secretary will promptly forward any such submissions to the committee members for consideration. Submissions
should include the candidate's name, a resume or other summary of the candidate's relevant experience and credentials, and contact information
for the candidate and the stockholder submitting the recommendation. If the stockholder wishes that the committee consider naming a candidate
as a nominee for the Board in the proxy statement for our 2009 annual meeting of stockholders, the stockholder should submit the recommendation by the
deadline described under "
Other Matters: Deadline for Submission of Proposals for 2009 Annual Meeting
" below.
Stockholder Communication with Board Members
Stockholders may send communications to our directors by addressing the communications to:
[Name of director]
c/o Corporate Secretary
Intraware, Inc.
25 Orinda Way
Orinda, CA 94563
Stockholders may also send communications to directors electronically by using the web form on our Investor Relations website at
http://www.intraware.com/investors/shareholder_contacts.php
, and specifying in the communication the name of the director to whom it is
to be forwarded. All such stockholder communications received by the Company, that are sent or transmitted in the sender's capacity as a
stockholder, will be promptly forwarded directly to the directors to whom they are addressed.
Corporate Governance Guidelines
The Board has adopted a set of Corporate Governance Guidelines. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible
for overseeing the Corporate Governance Guidelines and reporting and making recommendations to the Board concerning corporate governance
matters. The Corporate Governance Guidelines are posted on the company's web site at
http://www.intraware.com/library/corporate_governance/corporate_governance_guidelines_9-8-05.pdf
.
Key provisions of the Corporate Governance Guidelines include the following:
-
The Board believes that there should be a substantial majority of independent directors on the Board. The Board also believes that it is useful
and appropriate to have members of management as directors.
-
Independent directors will meet on a regular basis apart from other directors and management representatives.
-
Board compensation should be a mix of cash and equity-based compensation. Management directors will not be paid for Board membership
in addition to their regular employee compensation. Independent
-13-
directors may not receive consulting, advisory or other fees from the Company in
addition to their Board compensation. To the extent practicable, independent directors who are affiliated with our service providers will undertake
to ensure that their compensation from those providers does not include amounts connected to payments by the Company.
-
Directors must at all times comply with our Code of Ethics. This obligation includes adherence to our policies with respect to conflicts of
interest, confidentiality, protection of the Company's assets, ethical conduct in business dealings, and respect for and compliance with applicable
law. Any waiver of the requirements of the Code of Ethics with respect to any individual director or executive officer is reported to and subject to
the approval of the Audit Committee or the full Board.
-
The Audit, Compensation, and Nominating and Corporate Governance committees must consist entirely of independent directors.
-
The annual cycle of agenda items for Board meetings is expected to evolve to reflect Board priorities and changing business and legal issues.
The Board will have regularly scheduled presentations from our Finance, Sales and Marketing and Product Management departments, and our
other major business segments and operations. The Board's annual agenda will include, among other items, our long-term strategic plan and
budget matters.
-
The Board will have direct access to all the Company employees.
-
Directors and officers are encouraged to be stockholders of the Company through their participation in the Company's stock option plans.
Directors and officers may not invest in derivatives of Company securities, e.g., puts and calls on Company securities (with limited exceptions) or
enter into any "short sales" or "short positions" with respect to Company securities. A short position is one in which the
person will profit if the market price of our securities either remains the same or decreases. The Company considers any such investment by a
director or officer of the Company to be inappropriate and contrary to the interests of the Company and its stockholders.
Code of Ethics
The Board has also adopted a Code of Ethics that applies to all of our directors, officers, employees, and contractors. The Audit
Committee is responsible for overseeing the administration of this Code of Ethics, which is posted on the company's web site at
http://www.intraware.com/library/corporate_governance/code_of_ethics_2-6-08.pdf
. The Code of Ethics addresses the following key
areas:
-
Maintaining business ethics (including observance of key financial controls);
-
Avoiding conflicts of interest;
-
Special obligations concerning financial reporting; and
-
Compliance with laws, rules and regulations, including:
• Insider trading rules;
• The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act;
• Record maintenance and destruction of documents; and
• Protection of confidential information.

Narrative Disclosure to Summary Compensation Table
The Company uses the following elements to compensate our named executive officers: cash compensation in the form of salaries and
cash bonuses; and equity compensation in the form of stock options and restricted stock units. We believe that each of these elements is
necessary to attract and retain named executive officers in a competitive market.
Bonus Incentives.
Each executive is eligible for a cash bonus representing a percentage of his or her salary in order to motivate
named executive officers to achieve certain performance objectives as determined by the Compensation Committee. Through the year ended
February 29, 2008, however, Mr. Benson was subject to a sales commission plan and was not eligible for a cash bonus. The performance
objectives determined by the Compensation Committee are directly tied to the financial performance of the Company and include certain
attainment levels for revenues and operating profit/loss. All performance objectives were developed to be consistent with the Company's overall
fiscal 2008 strategic plan. The target bonuses of eligible named executive officers ranged between amounts equal to 30 and 50 percent of their
base salaries. The Compensation Committee also compared the size of each executive's bonus target to the bonuses of our other named
executive officers for purposes of parity. We generally consider the revenue and earnings targets to be challenging but achievable and individual
accomplishments do not factor into the payout calculation. The Company achieved most of the objectives on which the incentive bonuses
depended and therefore paid bonuses under the general executive bonus program for fiscal 2008.
Exchange Program. Subsequent to the end of fiscal 2007, we offered to certain employees the opportunity to participate
in an employee Stock Option/Restricted Stock Unit Exchange Program ("Exchange Program"). Under the Exchange
Program, we offered employees the right to exchange "eligible stock options" for restricted stock units. "Eligible stock
options" were all unexercised and unvested stock options with an exercise price per share of $5.00 or more. The offer was
made to foster employee retention and better align the interest of employees and stockholders to maximize stockholder
value. The number of restricted stock units that an employee received in exchange for the eligible stock options, as well
as the vesting schedule of those restricted stock units, depended on the number and exercise price of the eligible stock
options exchanged.
Employment Contracts and Termination of Employment and Change-in-Control Arrangements
The Company acknowledges that the Company could undergo a change of control, and that this possibility could result in the distraction
or departure of named executive officers to the detriment of the Company and its stockholders. Accordingly, the Company has entered into
change of control severance agreements with each of the current named executive officers. The Company believes that these agreements will
help the named executive officers to remain focused on their assigned duties and will minimize the distractions that could result from the possibility
or consummation of a change of control of the Company. The agreements provide that in the event that any of the current named executive
officers are terminated without "cause" or deemed terminated through an "involuntary termination" within the period
commencing on the Company's public announcement of a proposed change of control and continuing until the earlier of the twelve month period
following the consummation of the change of control or the Company's public announcement that the proposed change of control will not occur,
the Company will provide to the terminated named executive officer:
-
a cash payment equal to a percentage of his or her annual salary, plus a pro rata portion of his or her annual target bonus, as described in
more detail below for each named executive officer;
-
a percentage of his or her health, dental and life insurance benefits, including benefits paid to any dependents (collectively
"benefits"), through the earlier of a specified time from the date of his or her termination, or the date he or she first becomes covered by
another employer's group health, dental or life insurance plans providing comparable benefits and coverage; and
-
accelerated vesting of his or her equity awards.
-17-
For changes in control that meet the above criteria, the named executive officers would receive the following under their respective
agreements:
-
Mr. Jackson would receive 100% of his annual salary and bonus target, along with up to twelve months' benefits;
-
Ms. Nieto would receive 50% of her annual salary and bonus target, and up to six months' benefits; and
-
Mr. Benson would receive 50% of his annual salary and bonus target, and up to six months' benefits, plus up to 50% of his annualized
commissions, based on the commissions he earns during the six months immediately preceding the termination.
Pursuant to the change of control arrangements, assuming that a change of control transaction occurred on February 29, 2008, the
estimated aggregate value of the amounts that each of the relevant named executive officers would be entitled to receive are as follows:

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
During our 2008 fiscal year we provided e-commerce solutions to our customers by using managed e-commerce services that were
provided by a wholly-owned subsidiary of Digital River. Digital River owns approximately 14% of our outstanding capital stock (on an as-converted
to common stock basis) and has designated a representative to serve on our Board of Directors. As a result of providing these solutions, we
recognized an immaterial amount of revenue and related costs of revenue. All of these costs were paid to the Digital River subsidiary. We also
have a strategic marketing agreement with Digital River. As a result of this alliance, we recognized an immaterial amount of revenue in our 2008
fiscal year.
Review, Approval or Ratification of Transactions with Related Persons
The Company's directors and executive officers are subject to the Company's Code of Ethics, and the Company's directors are guided in
their duties by the Company's Corporate Governance Guidelines. The Code of Ethics demands that the Company's directors and executive
officers avoid any relationship or situation where a conflict of interest might occur or appear to occur. The Company's directors and executive
officers are expected to make or participate in business decisions and actions in the course of their employment with the Company based on the
best interests of the Company as a whole, and not based on personal relationships or benefits, and employees are expected to apply sound
judgment to avoid conflicts of interest that could negatively affect the Company or its business.
Executive officers are expected to disclose to the Company any situations that may involve conflicts of interests, including related party
transactions, affecting them personally or affecting other employees or those with whom the Company does business. Waivers of interests
involving executive officers require the approval of the Board or its Audit Committee.
Directors of the Company are deemed to have a special responsibility because they are prominent individuals with substantial other
responsibilities. Directors are expected to disclose to their fellow directors and to the General Counsel any personal interest they may have in a
transaction upon which the Board passes and to recuse themselves from participation in any decision in which there is a conflict between his or
her personal interests and the interests of the Company.
The Code of Ethics advises our directors and executive officers to consult with the Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary of the
Company, the Chief Financial Officer, and the Director of Human Resources with any questions, and to report any possible violations of the Code
of Ethics.
SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE
Section 16(a) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 requires Company officers and directors, and persons who own more
than ten percent (10%) of a registered class of our common stock to file certain reports with the SEC regarding ownership of, and transactions in,
Company securities. Such officers, directors, and 10% stockholders are also required to furnish copies of all Section 16(a) forms that they
file.
Based solely on the Company's review of public filings made by the officers, directors and 10% stockholders with the SEC, we believe that all
required Section 16(a) filings by such persons were made on a timely basis in our fiscal year ended February 29, 2008, with the following
exceptions: 1) on March 20, 2008, the Company filed a Form 5 in connection with a late Form 4 filing for Wendy Nieto in relation to the exchange
of stock options for restricted stock units pursuant to the Exchange Program, 2) on March 21, 2008, the Company filed a Form 5 in connection with
a late Form 4 filing for Peter Jackson in relation to the exchange of stock options for restricted stock units pursuant to the Exchange Program, and
3) on April 8, 2008, the Company filed a Form 5 reflecting a late Form 3 filing for Alex Danzberger, Jr.

OTHER MATTERS
Cost of Proxy Solicitation
The Company has hired Computershare Investor Services LLC, and Command Financial Press to assist in the copying and distribution of
proxy materials at an aggregate cost of approximately $16,000, which includes printing and mailing of the proxy materials and the Company's
annual report to stockholders. The Company has also hired the Altman Group to assist in soliciting proxies at a cost of approximately $5,000 plus
reasonable and approved out-of-pocket expenses. Company employees, officers and directors may also solicit proxies, without additional
compensation other than reimbursement of their expenses. The Company will reimburse brokerage houses and other custodians, nominees and
fiduciaries for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses for forwarding proxy materials to the holders of our common stock.
"Householding" of Proxy Materials
The SEC has adopted rules that permit companies and intermediaries such as brokers to satisfy delivery requirements for proxy
statements with respect to two or more stockholders sharing the same address by delivering a single proxy statement addressed to those
stockholders. This process, which is commonly referred to as "householding," potentially provides extra convenience for stockholders
and cost savings for companies. The Company and some brokers household proxy materials, delivering a single proxy statement to multiple
stockholders sharing an address unless contrary instructions have been received from the affected stockholders. Upon written or oral request to
the Company, by mail at Intraware, Inc., 25 Orinda Way, Orinda, California 94563 or by telephone at (925) 253-4500, the Company will promptly
deliver a copy of the proxy statement to a stockholder if that stockholder shares an address with another stockholder to which a single copy of the
proxy statement was delivered. A stockholder may notify the Company as described above if the stockholder wishes to receive a separate copy of
the proxy statement in the future or, alternatively, if the stockholder wishes to receive a single copy of the materials instead of multiple copies.
Deadline for Submission of Proposals for 2009 Annual Meeting
If you wish to submit a proposal for possible inclusion in the Company's 2009 proxy materials, we must receive your notice, in accordance
with Rule 14a-8 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, by March 4, 2009, or, if the 2009 annual meeting is held more than 30 days
earlier or later than the one-year anniversary of our Annual Meeting, your proposal must be received by us within a reasonable time before we
begin to print and mail the proxy materials for our 2009 annual meeting. The proposal(s) should be mailed to the Company Secretary at our
principal executive offices at 25 Orinda Way, Orinda, California 94563.
Under Company bylaws, stockholder proposals not included in our 2009 proxy materials and any nominations for director must be submitted to
the Company Secretary, at the above address, not less than 90 days or more than 120 days prior to the first anniversary of the date on which the
Company first mailed its proxy materials for the preceding year's annual meeting of stockholders. Since this proxy statement is being mailed to you
on or about July 2, 2008, stockholder proposals must be received by our Secretary at our principal executive offices between March 4, 2009 and
April 3, 2009, in order to be raised at our 2009 annual meeting. However, if the date of the 2009 annual meeting is more than 30 days earlier or
later than the one-year anniversary of the Annual Meeting, such proposals or nominations must be submitted by the later of (1) the 120th day
before the 2009 annual meeting, or (2) the 10th day after the 2009 annual meeting date is first publicly announced.
Any such proposal or nomination you submit must contain:
-
for each person you propose to nominate for election or reelection as a director,
• all information about the person that would be required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for the election of that person as a director
under Regulation 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended; and
• the person's written consent to serve as a director if elected; and
-
as to any other business you propose to bring before the meeting,
-26-
• a brief description of the business;
• the reasons for conducting the business at the meeting; and
• any material interest that you, as the stockholder, and any beneficial owner on whose behalf the proposal is made, have in the business;
and
-
the following information about you, as the stockholder giving the notice, and any beneficial owner on whose behalf the nomination or
proposal is made:
• name and address, as they appear on our books;
• the class and number of the shares that are owned beneficially and of record; and
• whether you or the beneficial owner intend to deliver a proxy statement and form of proxy to holders of, in the case of a proposal, at least the
percentage of our voting shares legally required to carry the proposal or, in the case of a nomination or nominations, a sufficient number of holders
of our voting shares to elect the nominee or nominees.
These requirements are contained in the Company bylaws, which are posted on the Company's website at
http://www.intraware.com/library/corporate_governance/amended_restated_bylaws_09-08-05.pdf
.

or her to participate at the Annual Meeting may request reasonable assistance or accommodation from us by contacting Intraware, Inc., 25 Orinda
