`
`BACKGROUND AND QUALIFICATIONS
`
`1. My name is Joseph E. DeHaven. I am cmrently a Senior Principal
`
`Consultant in the Customer Solutions group at Callidus Software.
`
`2.
`
`I am over the age of eighteen and othetwise competent to make this
`
`declaration. I make this declaration from my personal knowledge and if called to
`
`testifY to the contents of it, could and would do so competently.
`
`3.
`
`I am a salaried Callidus employee. My compensation does not depend
`
`in any way on the outcome of this proceeding. I have not been offered any
`
`payment, incentive or inducement to provide this declaration.
`
`4.
`
`In preparing this Declaration, I reviewed US Patent No. 7,908,304
`
`dated March 15, 2011 , US Patent No. 7,958,024 dated June 7, 2011, and US Patent
`
`No. 7,904,326 dated March 8, 2011.
`
`5.
`
`I have worked in or have been associated with the insurance industiy
`
`for more than 40 years. A copy of my resume is attached as Exhibit A.
`
`6.
`
`I struied my career at The Prudential on or about July 1970. From
`
`July 1970 through August 1971, I was a Trainee (LevelS) in Newark, NJ. My
`
`initial assigrunent was to leru·n the legacy IBM 705 and IBM 1401 policy
`
`administration systems. These systems were used by The Prudential to administer
`
`life insmance policy functions -
`
`such as administering loans, accepting premium
`
`payments, processing premium changes, distributing dividends -
`
`and were known
`
`as the Policy Adminisn·ation System. After a rotation through a few assignments
`
`in this legacy policy administration system, I was a n·ainee for the new AOS policy
`
`adminisn·ation system. The AOS policy adminisn·ation system was a more
`
`advanced system to administer the srune life insurance policy functions listed
`
`above.
`
`7.
`
`On or about August 1971 to Mru-ch 1973, I was promoted a number of
`
`times to Supervising Accounting Exruniner (Levels 5 through 10). I was
`
`2
`
`Ex. 1011 02/14
`
`

`

`responsible for a section of the Ordinmy Records and Control division in the
`
`Central Accounting Unit that submitted daily policy accounting to the company
`
`ledger system. At this time, I was located in Fm1 Washington, Pennsylvania.
`
`8.
`
`On or about Mm·ch 1973 to April 1977, I was a Payroll Technician
`
`(Level 11). I was the lead technical resource for a field payroll operation for local
`
`offices throughout the regional home office tenitmy (Pennsylvania, Mmyland,
`
`Delawm·e and Washington, D.C.). At this time, I was located in Fort Washington,
`
`Pennsylvania.
`
`9.
`
`On or about April 1977, I was promoted to Compensation Consultant
`
`(Level20) and transfened to The Prudential ' s corporate office in the
`
`Compensation Unit of the Ordinmy Agencies Department. In this role, I was
`
`responsible for the design and modeling (used to estimate the price compensation)
`
`of compensation plans and component changes with the Actum"ial Department. At
`
`this time, I was located in Newm·k, New Jersey.
`
`10. On or about 1982, I becmne a Compensation Systems Analyst (Level
`
`28). In this role, I helped design compensation components including plan pricing.
`
`I was also a business liaison to the systems unit in Roseland, New Jersey. As a
`
`business liaison, 1 was responsible for conveying the details of new or modified
`
`compensation plans and/or compensation component changes to the Compensation
`
`Systems Progrmmning Area and negotiate delive1y timelines. Additionally, I
`
`ensured that any unit tests perfonned met the requirements of our new of modified
`
`plans and/or component changes.
`
`11. On or about 1984, I was promoted to Manager, Compensation
`
`Systems (Level 60). In this role, I had responsibilities similm· to those listed in
`
`Pm·agraphs 9 and 10.
`
`12. On or about 1989, I transferred to the Planning and Analysis Unit of
`
`the Ordinaty Agencies Depmtment in the corporate office as Manager, Planning
`
`3
`
`Ex. 1011 03/14
`
`

`

`and Analysis (Level 60). In this role, I was responsible for perfonnance analysis
`
`and monitoring. Specifically, I was responsible for analyzing and monitoring key
`
`perfonnance measures of the Ordimuy Agencies Department. I was also
`
`responsible for maintaining the department budget for all operations.
`
`13. On or about 1993, I transferred to the Accounting Unit within
`
`Pmdential Preferred Financial Services (formerly known as Ordinmy Agencies
`
`Department) as Manager, Accounting (Level 60). In this role, I was responsible
`
`for detailed budget management of the Corporate Depmtment.
`
`14. On or about Janumy 1995, I transferred to the Business Management
`
`Consultants group as a Senior Business Management Consultant (Level 60). I
`
`helped with all budget and financial matters throughout the Westem United States.
`
`For exmnple, in this role, I was responsible for business operations m1d analyzing
`
`and monitoring key perfonnance metrics ofWestem region offices. I worked
`
`directly with the Managing Directors and Business Managers of each local office.
`
`During this time, I was located in Scottsdale, Arizona. I held this position until I
`
`retired fi:om The Pmdential on or about June 1999.
`
`15.
`
`I joined Callidus Software on or about November 1999 as a
`
`Compensation Consultant in the Customer Solutions group. In this role, I was
`
`responsible for gathering business requirements from clients and implementing
`
`those requirements within Callidus' s TmeComp solution.
`
`16. On or about 2002, I was promoted to Principal Consultant within the
`
`Customer Solutions Depmtment. In this role, I had substantially the same role as
`
`described in Pm·agraph 15.
`
`17. On or about 2003, I was promoted to Principal Consultant and Project
`
`Manager in the Customer Solutions Department. In this role, I continued my
`
`responsibilities as Principle Consultant and assumed the role of Project Manager.
`
`4
`
`Ex. 1011 04/14
`
`

`

`18. On or about July 2005, I was promoted to Senior Architect in the
`
`Solutions Architecture group. In this role, I was responsible for visiting clients on
`
`short term assigmnents, analyzing their needs, and making changes to their
`
`implementations as needed. Additionally, I served as a business expett and
`
`resource for numerous projects.
`
`19. On or about 2007, I was promoted to Principal Architect within the
`
`Solutions Architecture group. I continued to perform the role of Senior Architect,
`
`but the promotion recognized my contribution and professional growth in my
`
`assigmnent.
`
`20. On or about Janumy 2011 , I retumed to the Customer Solutions group
`
`as Senior Principal Consultant in the Customer Solutions group.
`
`21. Over the yem·s, I have emned several professional designations. On or
`
`about 1981, I emned the Chmtered Life Underwriter (CLU) designation fi:om The
`
`American College. On or about 1981, I earned the Fellow Life Management
`
`Institute (FLMI) designation from the Life Office Management Association. On or
`
`about 1984, I eamed the Chmtered Financial Consultant (ChFC) designation from
`
`The American College.
`
`II. CALCULATING COMMISSIONS MANUALLY
`
`22. When I was at The Pmdential, management payroll from 1973 to
`
`1975 was manual (i.e., it was done by hand). At the time, The Pmdential had two
`
`different management cmmnission schemes or plans, one of which was the New
`
`Manpower Development Manager (NMDM) plan. Our group had a system for
`
`managing this cmmnission scheme by manually processing transactions for the
`
`sale ofvm·ious insurance products and services.
`
`23 . Each week, my section in the Ordinmy Agencies payroll unit
`
`calculated compensation under NMDM plan by hand. Generally, the NMDM plan
`
`managed cmmnissions for managers responsible for new agent recmiting,
`
`5
`
`Ex. 1011 05/14
`
`

`

`productivity and growth. Under this plan, a manager could receive an ovenide
`
`commission, which was essentially a commission on another agent's commissions.
`
`For example, if an agent received a $100 cmmnission, that agent's manager could
`
`be entitled to 10% or 30% of that $100 cmmnission.
`
`24.
`
`First, to calculate this ovenide cmmnission, an employee in my group
`
`would obtain copies of each transaction by gathering copies of one or more agent
`
`pay statements. We would manually review each statement and consider the line
`
`ofbusiness, policy year, the agent's length of service, and the agent's conunission
`
`amount.
`
`25. We screened out transactions ineligible for cmmnission by checking a
`
`manager's license. Specifically, we were responsible for ensuring that the manager
`
`was in confonnity with one or more regulatmy requirements. For example, we
`
`ensured that all managers were properly licensed in all jurisdictions where his or
`
`her agents sold business. In order to do this, I would need to be aware of which
`
`requirements an agent had to comply with to be eligible to receive compensation.
`
`At The Prudential, if my team had not already memorized this infonnation, we
`
`could find this information in a reference manual called the Ordinruy Agency
`
`Operations Manual, which smmnarized the vru·ious policies and procedures as
`
`described by the corporate office. The corporate office was responsible for
`
`maintaining this manual to reflect any new developments in process or procedure.
`
`If the manager was not properly licensed in a jurisdiction in which his or her agents
`
`sold business, the manager could not receive an ovenide cmmnission for that
`
`transaction. Om group kept track of the states in which these managers were
`
`licensed. We obtained this credential information :fimn District Agencies
`
`Adininistration and, for managers and stored this infonnation in a document called
`
`an Earnings Record Card (ERC), which was a large heavy stock card
`
`approximately 15" x 24" in size that we consulted regulru·ly. When reviewing an
`
`6
`
`Ex. 1011 06/14
`
`

`

`agent's pay statement, we would identifY in which jurisdiction the transaction was
`
`completed and then check whether the manager was licensed in that same
`
`jurisdiction. If the jurisdictions did not match, we would calculate the ovenide
`
`commission for that transaction as zero and mark that line in an agent's statement
`
`as "not payable. " This would happen occasionally when an agent sold business
`
`outside of his or her home area, in which case we would have to withhold ovenide
`
`COIIDIDSSlOnS.
`
`26.
`
`If, on the other hand, the jurisdictions matched and the manager was
`
`determined eligible, we would proceed to the next step. At this point, our group
`
`would have our tentative results, which identified those agent pay statements for
`
`which managers were eligible for compensation and for which we would calculate
`
`the management ovenide cotmnission. We would manually review each statement
`
`and consider the line of business, policy year, the agent' s length of service, and the
`
`agent's cmmnission amount. Based on that infonnation, my group would
`
`manually calculate his or her manager' s ovenide cmrunission. The members of
`
`my group would multiply the transaction amount with an appropriate ovenide rate
`
`to compute the ovenide cmmnission amount. The members of my team would
`
`know which rate to apply by having memorized the appropriate rate schedule.
`
`27. After we analyzed all of the transactions, we would sum the override
`
`cmmnissions for each transaction to anive at the manager' s override cmmnission
`
`for that week. Each week' s compensation infonnation was recorded on the ERC.
`
`The ERC for each manager had a row for each week of the year with additional
`
`rows to calculate subtotals for each month, quatter, and yem·. We would manually
`
`write in the dates and the totals for each week. The ERC also had columns for
`
`various elements of gross pay, deductions and exemptions. The purpose of this
`
`ERC was to manually track results (it was essentially a manual spreadsheet) for tax
`
`and other repmting.
`
`7
`
`Ex. 1011 07/14
`
`

`

`28. We calculated management ovenide commissions and paid them out
`
`evety week. In order to track the amount paid each month, it was possible to go
`
`back to evety transaction and recalculate the value for each month, but instead we
`
`looked to the sum of the last four or five weeks as we notated it on the ERC. In
`
`other words, although we could look up this infonnation manually evety time by
`
`manually calculating each week's cmmnissions and ovenides, we created a
`
`shorthand table of the same infonnation on the ERC, which provided a
`
`substantially faster way of working with this information. This was invaluable
`
`when tax statements were prepared both quarterly and annually.
`
`29. At that time, The Prudential would distribute management ovenides
`
`to managers with paper checks. If the manager had a preexisting debt (i.e., a prior
`
`overpayment or a clawed-back cmmnission), we calculated the manager's net pay
`
`by taking these deductions into account before preparing the check. These checks
`
`would be typed by hand by the Payroll Unit, in which I worked. During my time
`
`in this unit, I reviewed and signed manual pay statements. Manual checks were
`
`stored in a double-locked supply cabinet. The paper check and statement were sent
`
`to the Treasmy unit for review, check signature, and release.
`
`30.
`
`Even where payroll was largely automated at The Prudential, a
`
`significant amount of manual conection activity was often required when the
`
`system othetwise omitted a cmmnission authorization or made an error in
`
`calculating commissions. On or about March 1973 until April1977, when I was in
`
`the Ordinruy Agencies Field Payroll and Administration section, I would use the
`
`srune system described in Pru·agraphs 21-28 to calculate compensation for those
`
`sales representatives who were eligible to receive cmrunissions. These sales
`
`representatives included special agents and brokers.
`
`31.
`
`From 1974 to 1977, I worked with the Field Adtninistration unit.
`
`Among other responsibilities, we routinely processed a fonn called "Change in
`
`8
`
`Ex. 1011 08/14
`
`

`

`Credit and Commissions." Management would submit this fmm when requesting
`
`that a commission or credit be retroactively reassigned to another agent or sales
`
`representative. First, we would request a copy of the transaction by obtaining the
`
`physical policy application file. Once we had the file in hand, we manually
`
`verified that a properly licensed representative had witnessed the application (i.e.
`
`witness refers to physically signing the application), and that the agent to whom
`
`the commission would be reassigned was properly licensed in the jurisdiction at
`
`the time of sale. We would not approve any Change in Credit and Commissions
`
`fonns if the new agent was not fully in compliance with licensing requirements. If,
`
`on the other hand, the agent was in compliance with licensing requirements, we
`
`would approve the retroactive change of credit and cmrunission back to policy
`
`inception. If approved, the agent would receive an adjustment that appeared
`
`manually on their weekly commission statement and paper check that reflected the
`
`retroactive payment.
`
`32. From 1974 to 1977, my Field Administration Unit also had a system
`
`for preparing the paperwork to hire or onboard new agents. This paperwork
`
`included documents that identified the agent, the tenns of the selling agreement
`
`contract between the agent and The Prudential, and the agent's licenses and
`
`appointments. As part of the onboarding process, our group detennined whether
`
`the agent had a license and appointment to allow the agent to strut writing new
`
`business. Also as pmt of the onbom·ding process, we also had a checklist of
`
`approximately 20 different items with which the applicant had to comply in order
`
`to for The Prudential to appoint the agent to sell new business as a full-time special
`
`agent. Some of the items on the checklist conesponded to requirements under the
`
`agent's selling agreement (e.g., that the agent be properly licensed).
`
`33.
`
`Each of the processes described above in Pm·agraphs 22-31 were often
`
`completed collectively for multiple transactions in batch fonn (as opposed to
`
`9
`
`Ex. 1011 09/14
`
`

`

`calculated on a transaction by transaction basis). In other words, we could
`
`complete each step of the process for a stack of transactions before proceeding to
`
`the next step. This would save substantial time and expense.
`
`34. Based on my experience at The Prudential, my understanding is that
`
`payroll and license compliance was perfmmed manually at least since the 1930's,
`
`and likely substantially earlier than that.
`
`I declare under penalty of perjmy that the foregoing is true and conect.
