Exhibit 10.5

PLANET BEACH FRANCHISING CORPORATION
2005 STOCK OPTION PLAN

ARTICLE I

Purpose of Plan

The 2005 Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”) of Planet Beach Franchising Corporation, a Louisiana corporation (the “Company”), adopted by the Board of Directors of the Company on July ___, 2005, through which the Company may award options to purchase shares of the Common Stock of the Company to employees, area representatives, directors and franchisees. The plan is expected to benefit the shareholders of the Company by associating the interests of the option recipients with those of the Company’s shareholders. The Plan will encourage those persons who have substantial responsibility for its management and growth with additional incentives by allowing them to acquire an ownership interest in the Company and thereby encouraging them to contribute to the success of the Company and to remain in its employ. The availability and offering of stock options under the Plan is also intended to increase the Company’s ability to attract and retain individuals of exceptional managerial talent upon whom, in large measure, the sustained progress, growth and profitability of the Company depends. The benefits of this Plan are not a substitute for compensation otherwise payable to Company employees pursuant to the terms of their employment. Proceeds for the purchase of stock pursuant to this Plan shall be used for the general business purpose of the Company.

Awards and Limitations

Options granted under this Plan may be nonqualified stock options (“NOOs”) subject to the provisions of Section 83 of the Code or options intended to qualify as incentive stock options (“ISOs”) within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code or any successor provision.

Exercisable. Options shall be exercisable at such time or times as the Committee shall determine at or subsequent to grant.

Payment of Exercise Price.

Term of Options. The Committee shall determine the term of each Option, which term shall in no event exceed ten years from the date of grant.

Limitations on ISOs. Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, any Option that is intended to be an ISO under Section 422 of the Code:

	(iii)		shall not be exercisable after the expiration of five years from the date of grant, in the case of a 10% Holder;

	(iv)		shall not be transferable other than by will or under the laws of descent and distribution and, during the lifetime of the Participant to whom such ISO was granted, may be exercised only by such Participant (or his legal guardian or legal representative);
	(v)		shall be exercisable only during such Participant’s employment by the Company, provided, however, that the Committee may, in its discretion, provide at the time such ISO is granted that such ISO may be exercised for a period ending on the earliest of (x) the expiration of the term of the Option as determined in accordance with paragraph 5.6, (y) the date that is 12 months after termination of such Participant’s employment as result of his disability or (z) the date that is three months after termination of such Participant’s employment for any other reason.

	(vi)		shall not be awarded to any Participant that is not an employee of the Company.

The Company shall be entitled, if necessary or desirable, to withhold from any Participant from any amounts due and payable by the Company to such Participant (or secure payment from such Participant in lieu of withholding) the amount of any withholding or other tax due from the Company with respect to any shares issuable under the Options, and the Company may defer such issuance unless indemnified to its satisfaction.

General Provisions

Rights of Participants. Nothing in this Plan or in any Option Agreement shall interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company to terminate any Participant’s employment at any time (with or without Cause), nor confer upon any Participant any right to continue in the employ of the Company for any period of time or to continue his present (or any other) rate of compensation, and except as otherwise provided under this Plan or by the Committee in the Option Agreement, in the event of any Participant’s termination of employment (including, but not limited to, the termination by the Company without Cause) any portion of such Participant’s Option that was not previously vested and exercisable shall expire and be forfeited as of the date of such termination. No employee shall have a right to be selected as a Participant or, having been so selected, to be selected again as a Participant.

Written Agreement. Each Option granted hereunder to a Participant shall be embodied in a written agreement (an “Option Agreement”) which shall be signed by the Participant and by the President of the Company for and in the name and on behalf of the Company and shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan prescribed in the Agreement (including, but not limited to, (i) the right of the shall designate (“Designees”) to repurchase from each Participant, and such Participant’s transferees, all shares of Common Stock issued or issuable to such Participant on the exercise of an Option in the event of such Participant’s termination of employment, (ii) rights

of first refusal granted to the Company and Designees, (iii) holdback and other registration right restrictions in the event of a public registration of any equity securities of the Company and (iv) any other terms and conditions which the Committee shall deem necessary and desirable).

Sale of the Company. In the event of a Sale of the Company, the Committee may provide, in its discretion, that the Options shall become immediately exercisable by any Participants who are employed by the Company or are members of the Board at the time of the Sale of the Company and that such Options shall terminate if not exercised as of the date of the Sale of the Company or other prescribed period of time.

Listing, Registration and Compliance with Laws and Regulations. Options shall be subject to the requirement that if at any time the Committee shall determine, in its discretion, that the listing, registration or qualification of the shares subject to the Options upon any securities exchange or under any state or federal securities or other law or regulation, or the consent or approval of any governmental regulatory body, is necessary or desirable as a condition to or in connection with the granting of the Options or the issuance or purchase of shares thereunder, no Options may be granted or exercised, in whole or in part, unless such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval shall have been effected or obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to the Committee. The holders of such Options shall supply the Company with such certificates, representations and information as the Company shall request and shall otherwise cooperate with the Company in obtaining such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval. In the case of officers and other Persons subject to Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the Committee may at any time impose any limitations upon the exercise of an Option that, in the Committee’s discretion, are necessary or desirable in order to comply with such Section 16(b) and the rules and regulations thereunder. If the Company, as part of an offering of securities or otherwise, finds it desirable because of federal or state regulatory requirements to reduce the period during which any Options may be exercised, the Committee, may, in its discretion and without the Participant’s consent, so reduce such period on not less than 15 days written notice to the holders thereof.

Nontransferability. Options may not be transferred other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution and, during the lifetime of the Participant, may be exercised only by such Participant (or his legal guardian or legal representative). In the event of the death of a Participant, exercise of Options granted hereunder shall be made only:

	(i)		by the executor or administrator of the estate of the deceased Participant or the Person or Persons to whom the deceased Participant’s rights under the Option shall pass by will or the laws of descent and distribution; and
	(ii)		to the extent that the deceased Participant was entitled thereto at the date of his death, unless otherwise provided by the Committee in such Participant’s Option Agreement.

Adjustments. In the event of a reorganization, recapitalization, stock dividend or stock split, or combination or other change in the Common Stock, the Board or the Committee shall, in order to prevent the dilution or enlargement of rights under outstanding Options, make such adjustments in the number and type of shares authorized by the Plan, the number and type of shares covered

by outstanding Options and the exercise prices specified therein as may be determined to be appropriate and equitable. The issuance by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or options or securities exercisable or convertible into shares of stock of any class, for cash or property, or for labor or services either upon direct sale, or upon the exercise of rights or warrants to subscribe therefor, or upon exercise or conversion of other securities, shall not affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number or price of shares of Common Stock then subject to any Options.

Amendment, Suspension and Termination of Plan. The Board may suspend or terminate the Plan or any portion thereof at any time and may amend it from time to time in such respects as the Board may deem advisable; provided that no such amendment shall be made without stockholder approval to the extent such approval is required by law, agreement or the rules of any exchange upon which the Common Stock is listed, and no such amendment, suspension or termination shall impair the rights of Participants under outstanding Options without the consent of the Participants affected thereby.

Amendment, Modification and Cancellation of Outstanding Options. The Committee may amend or modify any Option in any manner to the extent that the Committee would have had the authority under the Plan initially to grant such Option; provided that no such amendment or modification shall impair the rights of any Participant under any Option without the consent of such Participant. With the Participant’s consent, the Committee may cancel any Option and issue a new Option to such Participant.

Indemnification. In addition to such other rights of indemnification as they may have as members of the Board or the Committee, the members of the Committee shall be indemnified by the Company against all costs and expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with any action, suit or proceeding to which they or any of them may be party by reason of any action taken or failure to act under or in connection with the Plan or any Option granted thereunder, and against all amounts paid by them in settlement thereof (provided such settlement is approved by independent legal counsel selected by the Company) or paid by them in satisfaction of a judgment in any such action, suit or proceeding; provided that any such Committee member shall be entitled to the indemnification rights set forth in this paragraph only if such member has acted in good faith and in a manner that such member reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that such conduct was unlawful, and further provided that upon the institution of any such action, suit or proceeding a Committee member shall give the Company written notice thereof and an opportunity, at its own expense, to handle and defend the same before such Committee member undertakes to handle and defend it on his own behalf.
