not exceed 100% of annual salary. The agreement also provided for the

The

from the Company effective August 14, 2006.
On
September 6, 2005, we entered into an employment agreement with Gerard Casale,

On December 1, 2005, Mr. Casale became our Vice President of Business and

of
our restricted common stock.
On

Pursuant to the agreement, Mr. Lightman serves as Chief Executive Officer and

NOTICE
TO STOCKHOLDERS OF ACTIONS APPROVED BY CONSENTING MAJORITY STOCKHOLDERS
The
following actions were approved by written consent of the consenting majority
stockholders:
ADOPTION
OF THE
INNOFONE.COM,
INCORPORATED 2007 STOCK OPTION PLAN
On
March
1, 2007 the Board of Directors adopted, and on March 2, 2007 the consenting
majority stockholders approved, the Innofone.com, Incorporated 2007 Stock Option
Plan (the “Plan”). Currently, we have 1,500,000 shares of common stock reserved
for the Plan. As of the Record Date, none of the shares of common stock reserved
for the Plan have been issued. The text of the resolutions that were approved
by
the Board and majority stockholders are attached to this Information Statement
as Exhibit
A
and
Exhibit
B,
respectively. A copy of the Plan is attached as Exhibit
C.
Description
of the Plan
The
Plan
authorizes awards of both incentive stock options (“ISOs”) and non-qualified
stock options (“NQOs”). Persons eligible to receive awards under the Plan
include employees, officers, directors, consultants, independent contractors
and
advisers of Innofone or its subsidiaries. As of the Record Date, we have
nineteen employees, four officers, one of whom is also a director, and one
outside director who would be eligible to receive awards under the Plan. The
number of persons covered by the Plan may increase if we add additional
employees (including officers) and directors.
The
Plan
is administered by our Board of Directors or a committee to which the Board
has
delegated administration of the Plan. (in either case, the “Administrator”). The
Administrator has the authority, at its discretion, (a) to grant options; (b)
to
determine the fair market value of the shares of common stock subject to
options; (c) to determine the exercise price of options granted; (d) to
determine the persons to whom, and the time or times at which, options shall
be
granted, and the number of shares subject to each option; (e) to construe and
interpret the terms and provisions of the Plan and all options granted under
the
Plan; (f) to prescribe, amend, and rescind rules and regulations relating to
the
Plan; (g) to determine the terms and provisions of each option granted; (h)
with
the consent of the Grantee, to rescind any grant or exercise of an option;
(i)
to modify or amend the terms of any option (with the consent of the Grantee
if
the modification or amendment is adverse to the Grantee); (j) to accelerate
or
defer (with the consent of the Grantee) the exercise date of any option; (k)
to
authorize any person to execute on behalf of the Company any instrument
evidencing the grant of an option; (l) to determine the duration and purposes
of
leaves of absence which may be granted to participants without constituting
a
termination of their employment for the purposes of the Plan; and (m) to make
all other determinations deemed necessary or advisable for the administration
of
the Plan and any applicable option. The Administrator may not reduce the
exercise price of any outstanding option.
The
term
of the Plan is 10 years from January 1, 2007, the effective date of the Plan.
A
total of 1,500,000 shares of common stock are reserved for awards under the
Plan. As of the Record Date, the approximate total fair market value of the
common stock that may be awarded from the Plan was approximately
$525,000.
Options
may be designated as “incentive” options or “non-qualified” options. All options
must have an exercise price equivalent to the fair market value of the common
stock on the date of grant, except in the case of individuals owning 10% or
more
of the common stock, in which case the exercise price must be 110% of the fair
market value of the common stock on the date of grant. Neither incentive options
nor non-qualified options may have a term exceeding 10 years. In the case of
an
incentive option that is granted to an individual owning 10% or more of the
common stock, the term may not exceed 5 years.
A
recipient will recognize no income upon grant of an incentive option and incur
no tax on its exercise (unless the recipient is subject to the alternative
minimum tax). If the recipient holds the stock acquired upon exercise of an
incentive option (the “ISO Shares”) for more than one year after the date the
option was exercised and for more than two years after the date the option
was
granted, the recipient generally will realize capital gain or loss (rather
than
ordinary income or loss) upon disposition of the ISO Shares. This gain or loss
will be equal to the difference between the amount realized upon such
disposition and the amount paid for the ISO Shares.
If
the
recipient disposes of ISO Shares prior to the expiration of either required
holding period described above, the gain realized upon such disposition, up
to
the difference between the fair market value of the ISO Shares on the date
of
exercise (or, if less, the amount realized on a sale of such shares) and the
option exercise price, will be treated as ordinary income. Any additional gain
will be long-term capital gain, depending upon the amount of time the ISO Shares
were held by the recipient.
A
recipient will not recognize any taxable income at the time a non-qualified
option is granted. However, upon exercise of a non-qualified option, the
recipient will include in income as compensation an amount equal to the
difference between the fair market value of the shares on the date of exercise
and the recipient’s exercise price. The included amount will be treated as
ordinary income by the recipient and may be subject to withholding. Upon resale
of the shares by the recipient, any subsequent appreciation or depreciation
in
the value of the shares will be treated as capital gain or loss.
There
is
no tax consequence to Innofone as a result of either the grant or the vesting
of
non-qualified stock options or incentive stock options. However, if an employee
fails to meet the rules governing incentive stock options (for example, by
selling the stock sooner than the rules allow), Innofone would be allowed a
tax
deduction to the extent that the employee had ordinary taxable income from
the
disqualified incentive stock option. Innofone is required to withhold FICA,
Medicare and federal income taxes from both employees and former employees
upon
disqualified dispositions of incentive stock options. Innofone is also subject
to FICA, Medicare and FUTA on the amounts that are deemed to be
wages.
Amendment
to the Plan
The
Board
may at any time amend, alter, suspend or discontinue the Plan. Without the
consent of a Grantee, no amendment, alteration, suspension or discontinuance
may
adversely affect such person’s outstanding options, except to conform the Plan
and ISOs granted under the Plan to the requirements of federal or other tax
laws
relating to ISOs. No amendment, alteration, suspension or discontinuance shall
require stockholder approval unless (a) stockholder approval is required to
preserve incentive stock option treatment for federal income tax purposes or
(b)
the Board otherwise concludes that stockholder approval is
advisable.
Benefits
Allocated to Executive Officers, Directors and Employees Under the
Plan
As
of the
Record Date, no option awards have been granted under the Plan, and we have
not
determined any benefits or amounts under the Plan. The following table sets
forth the option awards that would have been made to persons who comprise our
executive group (our Chief Executive Officer, President and Principal Accounting
Officer, our Secretary and our Vice Presidents), non-executive director group
and non-executive officer employee group for the last completed fiscal year

the Plan had been in effect:

Affiliates to improve operations and increase the profitability of the

or

stock of the Company (the “Common
Stock”).
All
references herein to stock or shares, unless otherwise specified, shall mean
the

2.
|
TYPES
OF AWARDS; ELIGIBLE
PERSONS
|
2.1 The
Administrator (as defined below) may, from time to time, take the following
action, separately or in combination, under the Plan: (a) grant options intended
to satisfy the requirements of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986,
as amended, and the regulations thereunder (the “Code”),
as
“incentive stock options (“ISOs”)
and
(b) grant options not intended to be ISOs, so-called “non-qualified options”
(“NQOs,”
and
together with ISOs, “Options”).
Any
such grants may be made to employees, including employees who are officers
or
directors, and to individuals described in Section 1
of the
Plan who the Administrator believes have made or will make a contribution
to the
Company or any Affiliate (as defined below); provided,
however,
that
only a person who is an employee of the Company or any Affiliate at the date
of
the grant of an Option is eligible to receive ISOs under the Plan.
2.2 For
purposes of the Plan: (a) the term “Affiliate”
means
a
parent or subsidiary corporation as defined in the applicable provisions
(currently Sections 424(e) and (f), respectively) of the Code; (b) the term
“employee”
includes an officer or director who is an employee of the Company; (c) the term
“consultant”
includes persons employed by, or otherwise affiliated with, a consultant;
and
(iv) the term “adviser”
includes persons employed by, or otherwise affiliated with, an
adviser.
2.3 Except
as
otherwise expressly set forth in the Plan, no right or benefit under the
Plan
shall be subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, hypothecation,
or
charge, and any such attempted action shall be void. No right or benefit
under
the Plan shall in any manner be liable for or subject to debts, contracts,
liabilities, or torts of any Grantee or any other person except as otherwise
may
be expressly required by applicable law.
3.
|
STOCK
SUBJECT TO THE PLAN; MAXIMUM NUMBER OF
GRANTS
|
3.1 Subject
to the provisions of Section 3.2,
the
total number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued under the Plan
shall
not exceed 1,500,000 shares. The shares subject to an Option granted under
the
Plan that expire, terminate or are cancelled unexercised shall become available
again for grants under the Plan. Where the exercise price of an Option is
paid
by means of the Grantee’s surrender of previously owned shares of Common Stock
or the Company’s withholding of shares otherwise issuable upon exercise of the
Option as may be permitted in the Plan, only the net number of shares issued
and
which remain outstanding in connection with such exercise shall be deemed
“issued” and no longer available for issuance under the Plan. No eligible person
shall be granted Options during any twelve-month period covering more than
500,000 shares.
3.2 If
the
Common Stock is changed by reason of a stock split, reverse stock split,
stock
dividend, recapitalization, combination or reclassification, then the number
and
class of shares of stock subject to the Plan that may be issued under the
Plan,
and the maximum number of shares covered by Options to any eligible person
under
Section 3.1,
shall
be proportionately adjusted (provided that any fractional share resulting
from
such adjustment shall be disregarded).
4.1 The
Plan
shall be administered by the Board of Directors of the Company (the
“Board”)
or by
a committee (the “Committee”)
to
which the Board has delegated administration of the Plan (or of part thereof)
(in either case, the “Administrator”).
The
Board shall appoint and remove members of the Committee in its discretion
in
accordance with applicable laws. At the Board’s discretion, the Committee may be
comprised solely of “non-employee directors” within the meaning of Rule 16b-3
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange
Act”),
or
“outside directors” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code. The
Administrator may delegate non-discretionary administrative duties to such
employees of the Company as the Administrator deems proper. Notwithstanding
the
delegation of administration of the Plan by the Board to a Committee, the
Board,
in its absolute discretion, may at any time and from time to time exercise
any
and all rights and duties of the Administrator under the Plan.
4.2 Subject
to the other provisions of the Plan, the Administrator shall have the authority,
in its discretion: (a) to grant Options; (b) to determine the fair market
value
of the shares of Common Stock subject to Options; (c) to determine the exercise
price of Options granted, which shall be no less than the fair market value
of
the Common Stock on the date of grant; (d) to determine the persons to whom,
and
the time or times at which, Options shall be granted, and the number of shares
subject to each Option; (e) to construe and interpret the terms and provisions
of the Plan and all Options granted under the Plan; (f) to prescribe, amend,
and
rescind rules and regulations relating to the Plan; (g) to determine the
terms
and provisions of each Option granted (which need not be identical), including
but not limited to, the time or times at which Options shall be exercisable;
(h)
with the consent of the Grantee, to rescind any grant or exercise of an Option;
(i) to modify or amend the terms of any Option (with the consent of the Grantee
if the modification or amendment is adverse to the Grantee); (j) to accelerate
or defer (with the consent of the Grantee) the exercise date of any Option;
(k)
to authorize any person to execute on behalf of the Company any instrument
evidencing the grant of an Option; (l) to determine the duration and purposes
of
leaves of absence which may be granted to participants without constituting
a
termination of their employment for the purposes of the Plan; and (m) to
make
all other determinations deemed necessary or advisable for the administration
of
the Plan and any applicable Option. The Administrator may not reduce the
exercise price of any outstanding Option.
4.3 All
questions of interpretation, implementation, and application of the Plan
or any
Option or Option agreement shall be determined by the Administrator, which
determination shall be final and binding on all persons.
4.4 In
addition to such other rights of indemnification as they may have as Directors
or as members of the Committee, and to the extent allowed by applicable law,
the
Administrator shall be indemnified by the Company against the reasonable
expenses, including attorney's fees, actually incurred in connection with
any
action, suit or proceeding or in connection with any appeal therein, to which
the Administrator may be party by reason of any action taken or failure to
act
under or in connection with the Plan or any option granted under the Plan,
and
against all amounts paid by the Administrator in settlement thereof (provided,
however, that the settlement has been approved by the Company, which approval
shall not be unreasonably withheld) or paid by the Administrator in satisfaction
of a judgment in any such action, suit or proceeding, except in relation
to
matters as to which it shall be adjudged in such action, suit or proceeding
that
such Administrator did not act in good faith and in a manner which such person
reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the Company, and in the
case
of a criminal proceeding, had no reason to believe that the conduct complained
of was unlawful; provided, however, that within 60 days after institution
of any
such action, suit or proceeding, such Administrator shall, in writing, offer
the
Company the opportunity at its own expense to handle and defend such action,
suit or proceeding.
5.
|
GRANTING
OF OPTIONS; AGREEMENTS
|
5.1 No
Options shall be granted under the Plan after 10 years from the date of adoption
of the Plan by the Board.
5.2 Each
Option shall be evidenced by a written agreement, in form satisfactory to
the
Administrator, executed by the Company and the person to whom such grant
is made
(“Grantee,”
which
term shall include the permitted successors and assigns of the Grantee with
respect to the Option). In the event of a conflict between the terms or
conditions of an agreement and the terms and conditions of the Plan, the
terms
and conditions of the Plan shall govern.
5.3 Each
Option agreement shall specify whether the Option it evidences is an NQO
or an
ISO, provided,
however,
all
Options granted under the Plan to non-employee directors, consultants and
advisers of the Company are intended to be NQOs.
5.4 Subject
to Section 6.2.3
with
respect to ISOs, the Administrator may approve the grant of Options under
the
Plan to persons who are expected to become employees, directors, consultants
or
advisers of the Company, but are not employees, directors, consultants or
advisers at the date of approval.
5.5 For
purposes of the Plan, the term “employment”
shall
be deemed to include service as an employee, director, consultant or
adviser.

TERMS
AND CONDITIONS OF
OPTIONS
|
Each
Option granted under the Plan shall be subject to the terms and conditions
set
forth in Section 6.1.
ISOs
shall also be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in Section
6.2.
6.1 Terms
and Conditions to Which All Options Are Subject.
All
Options granted under the Plan shall be subject to the following terms and
conditions:
6.1.1 Exercise
Price.
The
exercise price of each Option shall be the amount determined by the
Administrator, but shall not be less than the fair market value of the Common
Stock on the date of grant (determined under Section 6.1.9).
6.1.2 Time
of Option Exercise (Vesting).
Subject
to Section 6.2.4,
an
Option granted under the Plan shall be exercisable (a) immediately as of
the
effective date of the applicable agreement or (b) in accordance with a schedule
or performance criteria as may be set by the Administrator and specified
in the
applicable agreement. However, in no case may an Option be exercisable until
the
Company and the Grantee execute a written agreement in form and substance
satisfactory to the Company.
6.1.3 Grant
Date.
The
date of grant of an Option under the Plan shall be the date approved by the
Administrator or a future date specified by the Administrator at the time
of
approval and reflected as the effective date of the applicable
agreement.
6.1.4 Non-Transferability
of 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 the Plan shall be assignable or otherwise transferable by the Grantee
except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. During the life
of
the Grantee, an Option shall be exercisable only by the Grantee or permitted
transferee.
6.1.5 Payment.
Except
as provided below, payment in full, in cash, shall be made for all Common
Stock
purchased at the time written notice of exercise of an Option is given to
the
Company and the proceeds of any payment shall be considered general funds
of the
Company. The Administrator in its discretion may include in any Option
agreement, or separately approve in connection with the exercise of any Option,
any one or more of the following additional methods of payment (subject to
applicable law):
(a) Acceptance
of the Grantee’s full recourse promissory note for all or part of the Option
price, payable on such terms and bearing such interest rate as determined
by the
Administrator (but in no event less than the minimum interest rate specified
under the Code at which no additional interest or original issue discount
would
be imputed), which promissory note may be either secured or unsecured in
such
manner as the Administrator shall approve (including, without limitation,
by a
security interest in the shares of the Company);
(b) Delivery
by the Grantee of shares of Common Stock already owned by the Grantee for
all or
part of the Option price, provided the fair market value of such shares of
Common Stock is equal on the date of exercise to the Option price, or such
portion thereof as the Grantee is authorized to pay by delivery of such stock;
(c) Through
the surrender of shares of Common Stock then issuable upon exercise of the
Option, provided the fair market value (determined as set forth in Section
6.1.9)
of such
shares of Common Stock is equal on the date of exercise to the Option price,
or
such portion thereof as the Grantee is authorized to pay by surrender of
such
stock; and
(d) By
means
of so-called cashless exercises through a securities broker to the extent
exercise in such manner does not violate applicable law or regulation (including
the Exchange Act and rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission).
6.1.6 Termination
of Employment.
Unless
otherwise provided in the applicable agreement, if for any reason a Grantee
ceases to be employed by the Company or any of its Affiliates, Options held
by
the Grantee at the date of termination of employment (to the extent then
exercisable) may be exercised in whole or in part at any time (but in no
event
after the Expiration Date) within one year of the date of termination in
the
case of termination by reason of death or disability; at the commencement
of
business on the date of a termination for “cause” (as defined in the applicable
agreement or in any agreement with the Company pertaining to employment);
and,
in all other cases, within 90 days of the date of termination. For purposes
of
this Section 6.1.6,
a
Grantee’s employment shall not be deemed to terminate by reason of the Grantee’s
transfer from the Company to an Affiliate, or vice versa, or 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 Grantee’s
right to reemployment by the Company or any Affiliate is guaranteed either
contractually or by statute
6.1.7 Withholding
and Employment Taxes.
At the
time of exercise and as a condition thereto, or at such other time as the
amount
of such obligation becomes determinable, the Grantee of an Option shall remit
to
the Company in cash all applicable federal and state withholding and employment
taxes if required by law. 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 holder’s (a) delivery of a
promissory note in the required amount on such terms as the Administrator
deems
appropriate, (b) tendering to the Company previously owned shares of Common
Stock or other securities of the Company with a fair market value equal to
the
required amount, or (c) 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.
6.1.8 Other
Provisions.
Each
Option granted under the Plan may contain such other terms, provisions, and
conditions not inconsistent with the Plan as may be determined by the
Administrator, and each ISO granted under the 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.
6.1.9 Determination
of Fair Market Value.
For
purposes of the Plan, the fair market value of Common Stock or other securities
of the Company shall be determined as follows:
(a) If
the
stock of the Company is listed on a securities exchange or is regularly quoted
by a recognized securities dealer, and selling prices are reported, its fair
market value shall be the closing price of such stock on the date the value
is
to be determined, 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 the value is to be determined (or if there are no quoted prices
for the
date of grant, then for the last preceding business day on which there were
quoted prices).
(b) 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 a similar line of business.
6.1.10 Option
Term.
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 applicable agreement (the end
of
the maximum exercise period stated in the agreement is referred to in the
Plan
as the “Expiration
Date”).
6.1.11 Corporate
Transactions.
(a) Except
as
otherwise provided in the applicable Option agreement, in the event of a
Corporate Transaction, all Options shall terminate upon consummation of the
Corporate Transaction unless the Administrator determines that they shall
survive. If the Administrator determines that outstanding Options shall survive,
and if the Company shall not be the Surviving Entity in the Corporate
Transaction, the Administrator shall provide that the outstanding Options
shall
be assumed or an equivalent Option substituted by an applicable successor
entity
or any Affiliate of the successor entity. If outstanding Options are to
terminate upon consummation of the Corporate Transaction, any Options
outstanding immediately prior to the consummation of the Corporate Transaction
shall be deemed fully vested and exercisable immediately prior to the
consummation of the Corporate Transaction (provided that the Option has not
expired by its terms and that the Grantee takes all steps necessary to exercise
the Option prior to the Corporate Transaction as required by the agreement
evidencing the Option). The Administrator shall notify each Grantee of an
outstanding Option of a proposed Corporate Transaction at least twenty (20)
days
prior thereto or as soon as may be practicable, and the exercise of any Option
by a Grantee thereafter shall be contingent upon consummation of the Corporate
Transaction unless the Grantee expressly elects otherwise with respect to
vested
shares.
(b) In
a
Corporate Transaction in which the holders of the Common Stock are to receive
only cash in exchange for or in cancellation of their shares of Common Stock,
the Administrator may provide that, with respect to each Option whose exercise
price per share is less than the per share cash consideration to the holders
of
the Common Stock that: (i) such Option shall be deemed automatically exercised
in full as of the consummation of the Corporate Transaction; and (ii) the
Grantee shall not be obligated to tender the exercise price in connection
with
such exercise, but shall be entitled to a payment equal to the number of
shares
that may be acquired upon exercise of the Option multiplied by the amount
by
which the per share cash consideration in the Corporate Transaction exceeds
the
exercise price.
(c) A
“Corporate
Transaction”
means:
(i) the direct or indirect sale, transfer, conveyance or other disposition
(other than by way of merger or consolidation), in one or a series of related
transactions, of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of
the
Company; (ii) the adoption of a plan relating to the liquidation or dissolution
of the Company; (iii) a merger or consolidation in which the Company is not
the
Surviving Entity; or (iv) a reverse merger in which the Company is the
Surviving Entity, but the shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately
preceding the merger are converted by virtue of the merger into other property,
whether in the form of securities, cash or otherwise. “Surviving
Entity”
means
the Company if immediately following any merger, consolidation or similar
transaction, the holders of outstanding voting securities of the Company
immediately prior to the merger or consolidation own equity securities
possessing more than 50% of the voting power of the entity existing following
the merger, consolidation or similar transaction. In all other cases, the
other
entity to the transaction and not the Company shall be the Surviving Entity.
In
making the determination of ownership by the stockholders of an entity
immediately after the merger, consolidation or similar transaction, equity
securities that the stockholders owned immediately before the merger,
consolidation or similar transaction as stockholders of another party to
the
transaction shall be disregarded. Further, outstanding voting securities
of an
entity shall be calculated by assuming the conversion of all equity securities
convertible (immediately or at some future time) into shares entitled to
vote.
6.2 Terms
and Conditions to Which Only ISOs Are Subject.
Options
granted under the Plan designated as ISOs shall be subject to the following
terms and conditions:
6.2.1 Exercise
Price.
Notwithstanding Section 6.1, the exercise price of an ISO granted to any
person
who owns, directly or by attribution under the Code (currently Section 424(d)),
stock possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all
classes
of stock of the Company or of any Affiliate (a “10%
Stockholder”)
shall
in no event be less than 110% of the fair market value (determined in accordance
with Section 6.1.9)
of the
stock covered by the Option at the time the Option is granted.
6.2.2 Disqualifying
Dispositions.
If
stock acquired by exercise of an ISO granted pursuant to the 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 issuance 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.
6.2.3 Grant
Date.
If an
ISO is granted in anticipation of employment as provided in Section 5.4,
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 the Plan for Options granted
on
that date.
6.2.4 Term.
Notwithstanding Section 6.1.10, no ISO granted to any 10% Stockholder shall
be
exercisable more than five years after the date of grant.
6.2.5 $100,000
Limitation.
To the
extent that the aggregate fair market value (determined at the time of grant)
of
Common Stock with respect to which ISOs are exercisable for the first time
by a
Grantee during any calendar year (under all plans of the Company and its
Affiliates) exceeds $100,000, the Options or portions thereof which exceed
such
limit (according to the order in which they were granted) shall be treated
as
NQOs.
6.3 Manner
of Exercise.
A
Grantee 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/or withholding taxes as provided in Sections 6.1.7
and
6.1.8.
The
date the Company receives written notice of an exercise hereunder accompanied
by
the applicable payment will be considered as the date such Option was exercised.
Promptly after receipt of written notice of exercise and the applicable payments
called for by this Section 6.3,
the
Company shall, without stock issue or transfer taxes to the holder or other
person entitled to exercise the Option, deliver to the holder or such other
person a certificate or certificates for the requisite number of shares of
Common Stock. A holder or permitted transferee of an Option shall not have
any
privileges as a stockholder with respect to any shares of Common Stock to
be
issued until the date of issuance (as evidenced by the appropriate entry
on the
books of the Company or a duly authorized transfer agent) of such
shares.
6.4 Stock
splits, mergers, etc.
6.4.1 If
outstanding shares of the Common Stock shall be subdivided into a greater
number
of shares, or a dividend in Common Stock shall be paid in respect of the Common
Stock, the exercise price of any outstanding Option in effect immediately
prior
to such subdivision or at the record date of such dividend shall, simultaneously
with the effectiveness of such subdivision or immediately after the record
date
of such dividend, be proportionately reduced, and conversely, if the outstanding
shares of the Common Stock shall be combined into a smaller number of shares,
the exercise price of any outstanding options in effect immediately prior
to
such combination shall, simultaneously with the effectiveness of such
combination, be proportionately increased.
6.4.2 When
any
adjustment is required to be made in the exercise price, the number of shares
purchasable upon the exercise of any outstanding Option shall be adjusted
to
that number of shares determined by (a) multiplying an amount equal to the
number of shares purchasable upon the exercise of the Option immediately
prior
to such adjustment by the exercise price in effect immediately prior to such
adjustment, and then (b) dividing that product by the exercise price in
effect immediately after such adjustment.
6.4.3 In
case
of any merger, consolidation or capital reorganization or any reclassification
of the Common Stock (other than the matters described in Section 6.4.1),
upon
exercise of any Option outstanding at the time of such merger, consolidation
or
capital reorganization or reclassification of the Common Stock, the holder
shall
receive the kind and number of shares of stock or other securities or property
receivable upon such event by a holder of the number of shares of the Common
Stock that such Option entitles the holder to purchase from the Company
immediately prior to such event. In every such case, appropriate adjustment
shall be made in the application of the provisions set forth in the Option
agreement and in the Plan with respect to the rights and interests thereafter
of
the Grantee, to the end that the provisions set forth in the Option agreements
and in the Plan (including the specified changes and other adjustments to
the
exercise price) shall thereafter be applicable in relation to any shares
or
other property thereafter purchasable upon exercise of such Option.
6.4.4 Any
adjustments required or contemplated by this Section 6.4 shall be made by
the
Administrator, whose determination in that respect shall be final, binding
and
conclusive.
6.4.5 Except
as
expressly provided in this Section 6.4,
no
Grantee shall have any rights by reason of any subdivision or consolidation
of
shares of stock of any class or the payment of any stock dividend or any
other
increase or decrease in the number of shares of stock of any class, and the
dissolution, liquidation, merger, consolidation or split-up or sale of assets
or
stock to another corporation, or any issue by the Company of shares of stock
of
any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall
not affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect
to,
the number of, or Exercise Price for, the shares.
6.4.6 Neither
the Plan, nor the grant or existence of Options under the Plan, shall affect
in
any way the right or power of the Company to make adjustments,
reclassifications, reorganizations or changes of its capital or business
structure or to merge, consolidate, dissolve or liquidate, or to sell or
transfer all or any part of its business or assets.
6.4.7 The
Company shall not be required to issue fractional shares as a result of any
adjustments pursuant to this Section 6.4.
If an
adjustment under this Section 6.4
would
result in a fractional share interest under an Option or any vesting of any
installment, the Administrator’s decision as to inclusion or exclusion of that
fractional share interest shall be final, but no fractional shares of stock
shall be issued under the Plan on account of any such adjustment.

EMPLOYMENT
OR CONSULTING
RELATIONSHIP
|
Nothing
in the Plan, or any Option granted under the Plan, shall interfere with or
limit
in any way the right of the Company or of any of its Affiliates to terminate
the
employment of any Grantee nor confer upon any Grantee any right to continue
in
the employ of, or consult with, or advise, the Company or any of its
Affiliates.
8.

CONDITIONS
UPON ISSUANCE OF
SHARES
|
8.1 Securities
Laws.
Notwithstanding the provisions of any Option, the Company shall have no
obligation to issue shares under the Plan unless such issuance shall be
registered or qualified under applicable securities laws, including, without
limitation, the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities
Act”)
or
exempt from such registration or qualification. The Company shall have no
obligation to register or qualify such issuance under the Securities Act
or
other securities laws.
8.2 Non-Compete
Agreement.
As a
further condition to the receipt of Common Stock pursuant to the exercise
of an
Option, the Grantee may be required not to render services for any organization,
or engage directly or indirectly in any business, competitive with the Company
at any time during which an Option is outstanding to such Grantee and for
six
months after any exercise of an Option. Failure to comply with this condition
shall cause such Option and the exercise or issuance of shares thereunder
to be
rescinded and the benefit of such exercise, issuance or award to be repaid
to
the Company.
9.
|
NON-EXCLUSIVITY
OF THE PLAN
|
The
adoption of the Plan shall not be construed as creating any limitations on
the
power of the Company to adopt such other incentive arrangements as it may
deem
desirable, including, without limitation, the granting of stock options other
than under the Plan.
The
Board
may at any time amend, alter, suspend or discontinue the Plan. Without the
consent of a Grantee, no amendment, alteration, suspension or discontinuance
may
adversely affect such person’s outstanding Options except to conform the Plan
and ISOs granted under the Plan to the requirements of federal or other tax
laws
relating to ISOs. No amendment, alteration, suspension or discontinuance
shall
require stockholder approval unless (a) stockholder approval is required
to
preserve incentive stock option treatment for federal income tax purposes
or (b)
the Board otherwise concludes that stockholder approval is
advisable.
11.

EFFECTIVE
DATE OF PLAN;
TERMINATION
|
The
Plan
became effective on January 1, 2007, the date of adoption by the Board;
provided,
however,
that no
shares of Common Stock shall be issued, and no Option shall be exercisable,
unless and until the Plan is approved by the shareholders pursuant to Nevada
law
within 12 months after adoption by the Board. If any Options are so granted
and
stockholder approval shall not have been obtained within 12 months of the
date
of adoption of the Plan by the Board, such Options shall terminate retroactively
as of the date they were granted. The Plan (but not Options previously granted
under the Plan) shall terminate on December 31, 2016. Termination of the
Plan
shall not affect any outstanding Options, which shall continue to be governed
by
the Plan and the related Option agreement.
