EXHIBIT 10
VASOMEDICAL, INC.
2013 STOCK PLAN

I.   GENERAL PROVISIONS

A.   PURPOSE OF THE PLAN

This 2013 Stock Plan (the “Plan”) is intended to promote the interests of
VASOMEDICAL, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Corporation”), by providing eligible
persons in the employ or service of the Corporation or its affiliates with the
opportunity to acquire a proprietary interest, or otherwise increase their
proprietary interest, in the Corporation as an incentive for them to continue in
such employ or service.

Unless otherwise defined herein, all capitalized terms shall have the meaning
assigned to them in the attached Appendix.

B.   STRUCTURE OF THE PLAN

     The Plan shall be divided into two (2) separate equity programs:

     (i)  the Option Grant Program under which eligible persons (“Optionees”)
may, at the discretion of the Board, be granted options to purchase shares of
common stock; and

     (ii) the Stock Issuance Program under which eligible persons
(“Participants”) may, at the discretion of the Board, be issued shares of common
stock directly, either through the immediate purchase of such shares or as a
bonus for services rendered to the Corporation (or any Parent or Subsidiary).

The provisions of Articles One and Four shall apply to both equity programs
under the Plan and shall accordingly govern the interests of all persons under
the Plan.

C.   ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN

The Plan shall be administered by the Corporation’s Board of Directors
(“Board”), or in the discretion of the Board, a committee consisting of no less
than two Non-Employee Directors or persons meeting such other requirements as
may be imposed by Rule 16(b) under the 1934 Act (“Committee”).

The Board or Committee shall have full power and authority (subject to the
provisions of the Plan) to establish such rules and regulations as it may deem
appropriate for proper administration of the Plan and to make such
determinations under, and issue such interpretations of, the Plan and any
outstanding options or stock issuances thereunder as it may deem necessary or
advisable. Decisions of the Board shall be final and binding on all parties who
have an interest in the Plan or any option or stock issuance thereunder.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

 
D.   ELIGIBILITY

The persons eligible to participate in the Plan are:

     1.   Officers, directors and employees; and

     2.   consultants and other independent advisors who provide services to the
Corporation, or any parent or subsidiary of the Corporation.

The Board or Committee shall have full authority to determine, (i) with respect
to the grants made under the Option Grant Program, described in Article Two
below, which eligible persons are to receive the option grants, the time or
times when those grants are to be made, the number of shares to be covered by
each such grant, the status of the granted option as either an Incentive Option
or a Non-Qualified Option, the time or times when each option is to become
exercisable, the vesting schedule (if any) applicable to the option shares and
the maximum term for which the option is to remain outstanding, and (ii) with
respect to stock issuances made under the Stock Issuance Program, described in
Article Three, which eligible persons are to receive such stock issuances, the
time or times when those issuances are to be made, the number of shares to be
issued to each Participant, the vesting schedule (if any) applicable to the
issued shares and the consideration to be paid by the Participant for such
shares.

The Board or Committee shall have the absolute discretion either to grant
options in accordance with the Option Grant Program or to issue stock in
accordance with the Stock Issuance Program.

E.   STOCK SUBJECT TO THE PLAN

The stock issuable under the Plan shall be shares of the Corporation’s
authorized but unissued or reacquired common stock. The maximum number of shares
of common stock which may be issued under the Plan is 7,500,000 shares.

Shares of common stock subject to outstanding options shall be available for
subsequent issuance under the Plan to the extent (i) the options expire or
terminate for any reason prior to exercise in full, or (ii) the options are
cancelled in accordance with the cancellation-regrant provisions of Article Two.
Unvested shares issued under the Plan and subsequently repurchased by the
Corporation, at the option exercise or direct issue price paid per share,
pursuant to the Corporation’s repurchase rights under the Plan shall be added
back to the number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the
Plan.

If there is any change to the common stock by reason of any stock split, stock
dividend, recapitalization, combination of shares, exchange of shares or other
change affecting the outstanding common stock as a class without the
Corporation’s receipt of consideration, then appropriate adjustments shall be
made to (i) the maximum number and/or class of securities issuable under the
Plan, and (ii) the number and/or class of securities and the exercise price per
share in effect under each outstanding option in order to prevent the dilution
or enlargement of benefits thereunder.

outstanding, to:

               (i) extend the period of time for which the option is to remain
exercisable following Optionee’s cessation of Service or death from the limited
period otherwise in effect for that option to such greater period of time as it
shall deem appropriate, but in no event beyond the expiration of the option
term, and/or

               (ii) permit the option to be exercised, during the applicable
post-Service exercise period, not only with respect to the number of vested
shares of common stock for which such option is exercisable at the time of the

installments in which the Optionee would have vested under the option had the
Optionee continued in Service.

     5. Limited Transferability of Options. During the lifetime of the Optionee,
the option shall be exercisable only by the Optionee and shall not be assignable
or transferable other than by will or, following the Optionee’s death, by the
laws of descent and distribution.

B.   CORPORATE TRANSACTION

     1. All unvested options shall automatically vest in full if and when either
of the following stockholder approved transactions to which the Corporation is a
party are consummated: (i) a merger or consolidation in which securities
possessing more than fifty percent (50%) of the total combined voting power of
the Corporation’s outstanding securities are transferred to a person or persons
different from the persons holding those securities immediately prior to such
transaction, or (ii) the sale, transfer or other disposition of all or
substantially all of the Corporation’s assets in complete liquidation or
dissolution of the Corporation. However, the shares subject to an outstanding
option shall not vest on such an accelerated basis if and to the extent: (i)
such option is assumed by the successor corporation (or parent thereof) in the
Corporate Transaction or (ii) such option is to be replaced with a cash
incentive program of the successor corporation which preserves the spread
existing on the unvested option shares at the time of the Corporate Transaction
and provides for subsequent payout in accordance with the same vesting schedule
applicable to those unvested option shares or (iii) the acceleration of such
option is subject to other limitations imposed by the Board or Committee at the
time of the option grant.

     2. Each option which is assumed in connection with a Corporate Transaction
shall be appropriately adjusted, immediately after such Corporate Transaction,
to apply to the number and class of securities which would have been issuable to
the Optionee in consummation of such Corporate Transaction, had the option been
exercised immediately prior to such Corporate Transaction. Appropriate
adjustments shall also be made to (i) the number and class of securities
available for issuance under the Plan  following the consummation of such
Corporate Transaction and (ii) the exercise price payable per share under each
outstanding option, provided the aggregate exercise price payable for such
securities shall remain the same.

     3. The Board or Committee shall have the discretion, exercisable either at
the time the option is granted or at any time while the option remains
outstanding, to structure one or more options so that those options shall
automatically accelerate and vest in full (and any repurchase rights of the
Corporation with respect to the unvested shares subject to those options shall
immediately terminate) upon the occurrence of a Corporate Transaction, whether
or not those options are to be assumed in the Corporate Transaction.

     4. The Board or Committee shall also have full power and authority,
exercisable either at the time the option is granted or at any time while the
option remains outstanding, to structure such option so that the shares subject
to that option will automatically vest on basis should the Optionee’s Service
terminate by reason of the Optionee’s involuntary dismissal or discharge by the
Corporation for reasons other than misconduct (“Involuntary Termination”) within
a designated period (not to exceed one year) following the effective date of any
Corporate Transaction in which the option is assumed and the repurchase rights
applicable to those shares do not otherwise terminate. Any option so accelerated
shall remain exercisable for the fully-vested option shares until the expiration
or sooner termination of the option term.

     5. The portion of any Incentive Option accelerated in connection with a
Corporate Transaction shall remain exercisable as an Incentive Option only to
the extent the applicable One Hundred Thousand Dollar ($100,000.00) limitation
is not exceeded. To the extent such dollar limitation is exceeded, the
accelerated portion of such option shall be exercisable as a Non-Statutory
Option under the Federal tax laws.

     6. The grant of options under the Plan shall in no way affect the right of
the Corporation to adjust, reclassify, reorganize or otherwise change its
capital or business structure or to merge, consolidate, dissolve, liquidate or
sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets.
