STOCK SUBJECT TO THIS PLAN; MAXIMUM NUMBER OF GRANTS
|
Subject to the provisions of Section 6.1(a) of the Plan, a total of twenty million (20,000,000) shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share, shall be subject to the Plan. The maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be subject to Options shall conform to any requirements applicable to performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code, if qualification as performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code is intended. The shares of Common Stock subject to the Plan shall consist of unissued shares, treasury shares or previously issued shares held by any Subsidiary of the Company, and such amount of shares of Common Stock shall be and is hereby reserved for such purpose. Any of such shares of Common Stock that may remain unsold and that are not subject to outstanding Options at the termination of the Plan shall cease to be reserved for the purposes of the Plan, but until termination of the Plan the Company shall at all times reserve a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to meet the requirements of the Plan. Should any Options or Restricted Stock expire or be canceled prior to its exercise or vesting in full or should the number of shares of Common Stock to be delivered upon the exercise or vesting in full of any Options or Restricted Stock be reduced for any reason, the shares of Common Stock theretofore subject to such Options or Restricted Stock may be subject to future Options or Restricted Stock under the Plan, except where such reissuance is inconsistent with the provisions of Section 162(m) of the Code where qualification as performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code is intended.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF OPTIONS
|
Each Option granted under this Plan shall be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in Section 6.1 NQOs shall be also subject to the terms and conditions set forth in Section 6.2, but not those set forth in Section 6.3. ISOs shall also be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in Section 6.3, but not those set forth in Section 6.2.
6.1 Terms and Conditions to Which All Options Are Subject. All Options granted under this Plan shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:
a. Changes in Capital Structure. Subject to Sections 6.1(b), if the stock of the Company is changed by reason of a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, or recapitalization, combination or reclassification, appropriate adjustments shall be made by the Board in (i) the number and class of shares of stock subject to this Plan and each Option outstanding under this Plan, and (ii) the exercise price of each outstanding Option; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to issue fractional shares as a result of any such adjustments. Each such adjustment shall be subject to approval by the Board in its sole discretion.
b. Corporate Transactions. In the event of the proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Administrator shall notify each Optionee at least 30 days prior to such proposed action. To the extent not previously exercised, all Options will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed action; provided, however, that the Administrator, in the exercise of its sole discretion, may permit exercise of any Options prior to their termination, even if such Options were not otherwise exercisable. In the event of a merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation or entity in which the Company does not survive, or in the event of a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company in which the shareholders of the Company receive securities of the acquiring entity or an affiliate thereof, all Options shall be assumed or equivalent options shall be substituted by the successor corporation (or other entity) or a parent or subsidiary of such successor corporation (or other entity); provided, however, that if such successor does not agree to assume the Options or to substitute equivalent options therefor, the Administrator, in the exercise of its sole discretion, may permit the exercise of any of the Options prior to consummation of such event, even if such Options were not otherwise exercisable.
c. Time of Option Exercise. Subject to Section 5 and Section 6.1(d), Options granted under this Plan shall be exercisable (i) immediately as of the effective date of the stock option agreement granting the Option, or (ii) in accordance with a schedule as may be set by the Administrator (each such date on such schedule, the “Vesting Base Date”) and specified in the written stock option agreement relating to such Option. In any case, no Option shall be exercisable until a written stock option agreement in form satisfactory to the Company is executed by the Company and the Optionee.
d. Option Grant Date. The date of grant of an Option under this Plan shall be the date as of which the Administrator approves the grant.
e. Nontransferability of Option Rights. Except with the express written approval of the Administrator which approval the Administrator is authorized to give only with respect to NQOs, no Option granted under this Plan shall be assignable or otherwise transferable by the Optionee except by will, by the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order. During the life of the Optionee, an Option shall be exercisable only by the Optionee.
f. Payment. Except as provided below, payment in full, in cash, shall be made for all stock purchased at the time written notice of exercise of an Option is given to the Company, and proceeds of any payment shall constitute general funds of the Company. The Administrator, in the exercise of its absolute discretion, may authorize any one or more of the following additional methods of payment:
(i) Subject to the discretion of the Administrator and the terms of the stock option agreement granting the Option, delivery by the Optionee of shares of Common Stock already owned by the Optionee for all or part of the Option price, provided the fair market value (determined as set forth in section 6.1(j)) of such shares of Common Stock is equal on the date of exercise to the Option price, or such portion thereof as the Optionee is authorized to pay by delivery of such stock; and
(ii) Subject to the discretion of the Administrator, through the surrender of shares of Common Stock then issuable upon exercise of the Option, provided the fair market value determined as set forth is Section 6.1(j)) of such shares of Common Stock is equal on the date of exercise to the Option price, or such portion thereof as the Optionee is authorized to pay by surrender of such stock.
g. Termination of Employment. If for any reason other than death or permanent and total disability, an Optionee ceases to be employed by the Company or any of its Affiliates (such event being called a “Termination”), Options held at the date of Termination (to the extent then exercisable) may be exercised in whole or in part at any time within three months of the date of such Termination, or such other period of not less than 30 days after the date of such Termination as is specified in the Option Agreement or by amendment thereof (but in no event after the Expiration Date); provided, however, that if such exercise of the Option would result in liability for the Optionee under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, then such three-month period automatically shall be extended until the tenth day following the last date upon which Optionee has any liability under Section 16(b) (but in no event after the Expiration Date). If an Optionee dies or becomes permanently and totally disabled (within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Code) while employed by the Company or an Affiliate or within the period that the Option remains exercisable after Termination, Options then held (to the extent then exercisable) may be exercised, in whole or in part, by the Optionee, by the Optionee’s personal representative or by the person to whom the Option is transferred by devise or the laws of descent and distribution, at any time within six months after the death or six months after the permanent and total disability of the Optionee or any longer period specified in the Option Agreement or by amendment thereof (but in no event after the Expiration Date). For purposes of this Section 6(g), “employment” includes service as a director or as a consultant. For purposes of this Section 6(g), an Optionee’s employment shall not be deemed to terminate by reason of sick leave, military leave or other leave of absence approved by the Administrator, if the period of any such leave does not exceed 90 days or, if longer, if the Optionee’s right to reemployment by the Company or any Affiliate is guaranteed either contractually or by statute.
h. Withholding and Employment Taxes. At the time of exercise of an Option and as a condition thereto, or at such other time as the amount of such obligations becomes determinable (the “Tax Date”), the Optionee shall remit to the Company in cash all applicable federal and state withholding and employment taxes. Such obligation to remit may be satisfied, if authorized by the Administrator in its sole discretion, after considering any tax, accounting and financial consequences, by the Optionee’s (i) delivery of a promissory note in the required amount on such terms as the Administrator deems appropriate,(ii) tendering to the Company previously owned shares of Stock or other securities of the Company with a fair market value equal to the required amount, or (iii) agreeing to have shares of Common Stock (with a fair market value equal to the required amount) which are acquired upon exercise of the Option withheld by the Company.
i. Other Provisions. Each Option granted under this Plan may contain such other terms, provisions, and conditions not inconsistent with this Plan as may be determined by the Administrator, and each ISO granted under this Plan shall include such provisions and conditions as are necessary to qualify the Option as an “incentive stock option” within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code.
j. Determination of Value. For purposes of the Plan, the fair market value of Common Stock or other securities of the Company shall be determined as follows:
(i) Fair market value shall be the closing price of such stock on the date before the date the value is to be determined on the principal recognized securities exchange or recognized securities market on which such stock is reported, but if selling prices are not reported, its fair market value shall be the mean between the high bid and low asked prices for such stock on the date before the date the value is to be determined (or if there are no quoted prices for such date, then for the last preceding business day on which there were quoted prices).
(ii) In the absence of an established market for the stock, the fair market value thereof shall be determined in good faith by the Administrator, with reference to the Company’s net worth, prospective earning power, dividend-paying capacity, and other relevant factors, including the goodwill of the company, the economic outlook in the Company’s industry, the Company’s position in the industry, the Company’s management, and the values of stock of other corporations in the same or similar line of business.
k. Option Term. Subject to Section 6.3(d), no Option shall be exercisable more than 10 years after the date of grant, or such lesser period of time as is set forth in the stock option agreement (the end of the maximum exercise period stated in the stock option agreement is referred to in this Plan as the “Expiration Date”).
6.2 Terms and Conditions to Which Only NQOs Are Subject. Options granted under this Plan which are designated as NQOs shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:
a. Exercise Price
(i) Except as set forth in Section 6.2. (a)(ii), the exercise price of a NQO shall be not less than 85% of the fair market value (determined in accordance with Section 6.1 (j)) of the stock subject to the Option on the date of grant.
(ii) To the extent required by applicable laws, rules and regulations, the exercise price of a NQO granted to any person who owns, directly or by attribution under the Code (currently Section 424(d)), stock possessing more than ten percent of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Affiliate (a “Ten Percent Shareholder”) shall in no event be less than 110% of the fair market value (determined in accordance with Section 6.1(j)) of the stock covered by the Option at the time the Option is granted.
6.3 Terms and Conditions to Which Only ISOs Are Subject. Options granted under this Plan which are designated as ISOs shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:
a. Exercise Price.
(i) Except as set forth in Section 6.3(a)(ii), the exercise price of an ISO shall be determined in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Code and shall in no event be less than the fair market value (determined in accordance with Section 6.1(j)) of the stock covered by the Option at the time the Option is granted.
(ii) The exercise price of an ISO granted to any Ten Percent Shareholder shall in no event be less than 110% of the fair market value (determined in accordance with Section 6.1(j)) of the stock covered by the Option at the time the Option is granted.
b. Disqualifying Dispositions. If stock acquired by exercise of an ISO granted pursuant to this Plan is disposed of in a “disqualifying disposition” within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code (a disposition within two years from the date of grant of the Option or within one year after the transfer of such stock on exercise of the Option), the holder of the stock immediately before the disposition shall promptly notify the Company in writing of the date and terms of the disposition and shall provide such other information regarding the Option as the Company may reasonably require.
c. Grant Date. If an ISO is granted in anticipation of employment as provided in Section 5(d), the Option shall be deemed granted, without further approval, on the date the grantee assumes the employment relationship forming the basis for such grant, and, in addition, satisfies all requirements of this Plan for Options granted on that date.
d. Term. Notwithstanding Section 6.1(k), no ISO granted to any Ten Percent Shareholder shall be exercisable more than five years after the date of grant.

An Optionee wishing to exercise an Option shall give written notice to the Company at its principal executive office, to the attention of the officer of the Company designated by the Administrator, accompanied by payment of the exercise price and withholding taxes as provided in Sections 6.1(f) and 6.1(h). The date the Company receives written notice of an exercise hereunder accompanied by payment of the exercise price will be considered as the date such Option was exercised.
b. Promptly after receipt of written notice of exercise of an Option and the payments called for in Section 7(a), the Company shall, without stock issue or transfer taxes to the Optionee or other person entitled to exercise the Option, deliver to the Optionee or such other person a certificate or certificates for the requisite number of shares of stock.

8. TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF RESTRICTED STOCK
Restricted Stock may be granted under this Plan aside from, or in association with, any other award and shall be subject to the following conditions and shall contain such additional terms and conditions (including provisions relating to the acceleration of vesting of Restricted Stock upon a Change of Control), not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, as the Committee shall deem desirable:
a. Grantee rights. A Grantee shall have no rights to an award of Restricted Stock unless and until Grantee accepts the award within the period prescribed by the Committee and, if the Committee shall deem desirable, makes payment to the Company in cash, or by check or such other instrument as may be acceptable to the Committee. After acceptance and issuance of a certificate or certificates, as provided for below, the Grantee shall have the rights of a stockholder with respect to Restricted Stock subject to the non-transferability and forfeiture restrictions described in Section 8(d) below;
b. Issuance of Certificates. The Company shall issue in the Grantee’s name a certificate or certificates for the shares of Common Stock associated with the award promptly after the Grantee accepts such award, or if eligible, such shares of Common Stock shall be transferred after the Company’s receipt of a Deposit/Withdrawal At Custodian (DWAC) request;
c. Delivery of Certificates. Unless otherwise provided, any certificate or certificates issued evidencing shares of Restricted Stock shall not be delivered to the Grantee until such shares are free of any restrictions specified by the Committee at the time of grant;
d. Forfeitability, Non-transferability of Restricted Stock. Shares of Restricted Stock are forfeitable until the terms of the Restricted Stock grant have been satisfied. Shares of Restricted Stock are not transferable until the date on which the Committee has specified such restrictions have lapsed. Unless otherwise provided by the Committee at or after grant, distributions in the form of dividends or otherwise of additional shares or property in respect of shares of Restricted Stock shall be subject to the same restrictions as such shares of Restricted Stock;
e. Change of Control. Upon the occurrence of a Corporate Transaction as defined in Section 6.1(a)(ii), the Committee may accelerate the vesting of outstanding Restricted Stock, in whole or in part, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion; or
f. Termination of Employment. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee at or after grant, in the event the Grantee ceases to be an employee or otherwise associated with the Company for any other reason, all shares of Restricted Stock theretofore awarded to him which are still subject to restrictions shall be forfeited and the Company shall have the right to complete the blank stock power. The Committee may provide (on or after grant) that restrictions or forfeiture conditions relating to shares of Restricted Stock will be waived in whole or in part in the event of termination resulting from specified causes, and the Committee may in other cases waive in whole or in part restrictions or forfeiture conditions relating to Restricted Stock.

EMPLOYMENT OR CONSULTING RELATIONSHIP
|
Nothing in this Plan or any grant of Options or Restricted Stock hereunder shall interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company or of any of its Affiliates to terminate any Optionee’s employment or consulting at any time, nor confer upon any Optionee any right to continue in the employ of, or consult with, the Company or any of its Affiliates.
|
10.
|
CONDITIONS UPON ISSUANCE OF SHARES
|
Shares of Common Stock shall not be issued pursuant to the grant of Restricted Stock or the exercise of an Option unless such grant of Restricted Stock or the exercise of such Option and the issuance and delivery of such shares pursuant thereto shall comply with all relevant provisions of law, including, without limitation, the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

|
The Board may at any time amend, alter, suspend or discontinue this Plan.

No amendment, alteration, suspension or discontinuance shall require shareholder approval unless (a) shareholder approval is required to preserve incentive stock option treatment for federal income tax purposes or (b) the Board otherwise concludes that shareholder approval is advisable.

EFFECTIVE DATE OF PLAN; TERMINATION
|
This Plan was adopted by the Board of Directors on August 10, 2011 and became effective on August 10, 2011, subject to stockholder approval.
