2013 STOCK GRANT AND OPTION PLAN


 


Section 1. PURPOSE


 


The purpose of the INOLIFE TECHNOLOGIES, INC 2013 Stock Grant and Option Plan, as amended (the “Plan”) is to offer selected employees, directors and consultants an opportunity to acquire a proprietary interest in the success of the Company, or to increase such interest, to encourage such selected persons to remain in the employ of the Company, and to attract new employees with outstanding qualifications.


 


The Plan seeks to achieve this purpose by providing for Awards in the form of Registered Shares, Restricted Shares and Options (which may constitute Incentive Stock Options or Nonstatutory Stock Options) as well as the direct award or sale of Shares of the Company’s Common Stock.




Awards may be granted under this Plan in reliance upon federal and state securities law exemptions.


 


This Plan is not subject to any provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”).


 


Any and all such information requests shall be directed to the President, at InoLife Technologies, Inc., 6040-A, Six Forks Road, Suite 135, Raleigh, NC 27609, (919)-727-9186.

Section 2. ADMINISTRATION


 


(a) Committee Membership. The Plan shall be administered by a Committee (the “Committee”) appointed by the Company’s Board of Directors and comprised of at least two or more Directors (although Committee functions may be delegated to officers to the extent the awards relate to persons who are not subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16 of the Exchange Act). If no Committee has been appointed or can be appointed, then entire Board shall constitute the Committee.


 


(b) Committee Procedures. The Board of Directors shall designate one of the members of the Committee as chairperson. The Committee may hold meetings at such times and places as it shall determine. The acts of a majority of the Committee members present at meetings at which a quorum exists, or acts reduced to or approved in writing by all Committee members, shall be valid acts of the Committee.


 


(c) Committee Responsibilities. The Committee has and may exercise such power and authority as may be necessary or appropriate for the Committee to carry out its functions as described in the Plan. The Committee has authority in its discretion to determine eligible Employees to whom, and the time or times at which, Awards may be granted and the number of Shares subject to each Award. Subject to the express provisions of the respective Award agreements (which need not be identical) and to make all other determinations necessary or advisable for Plan administration, the Committee has authority to prescribe, amend, and rescind rules and regulations relating to the Plan. All interpretations, determinations, and actions by the Committee will be final, conclusive, and binding upon all persons. The Committee shall ensure that the Shares issued under this Plan shall:


 


(i) not be issued in connection with promotion of the Company’s Shares;


(ii) not be used if the Company controls or directs the resale of the Shares;


(iii) not be part of a capital raising-scheme or if the Company receives a share of the proceeds of resales;


(iv) not be issued to persons who arrange reverse mergers.


 


The Shares issued under this Plan shall be issued to natural persons who provide bona fide services that are beyond limited or no services per Rule 405 of Regulation C of the 1933 Securities Act.


 


(d) Committee Liability. No member of the Board or the Committee will be liable for any action or determination made in good faith by the Committee with respect to the Plan or any Award made under the Plan.


 


(e) Financial Reports. To the extent required by applicable law, and not less often than annually, the Company shall furnish to Offerees, Optionees and Shareholders who have received Stock under the Plan its financial statements including a balance sheet regarding the Company’s financial condition and results of operations, unless such Offerees, Optionees or Shareholders have duties with the Company that assure them access to equivalent information. Such financial statements need not be audited.

Section 3. ELIGIBILITY


 


(a) General Rule. Only Employees shall be eligible for designation as Participants by the Committee. In addition, only individuals who are employed as Common-Law Employees by the Company or a Subsidiary shall be eligible for the grant of ISOs.


 


(b) Ten-Percent Shareholders. An Employee who owns more than ten percent (10%) of the total combined voting power of all classes of outstanding stock of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall not be eligible for designation as an Offeree or Optionee, unless (i) the Exercise Price for an ISO (and a NSO to the extent required by applicable law) is at least one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant, (ii) if required by applicable law, the Purchase Price of Shares is at least one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant, and (iii) in the case of an ISO, such ISO by its terms is not exercisable after the expiration of ten years from the date of grant.


 


(c) Attribution Rules. For purposes of Subsection (b) above, in determining stock ownership, an Employee shall be deemed to own the stock owned, directly or indirectly, by or for his brothers, sisters, spouse, ancestors and lineal descendants. Stock owned, directly or indirectly, by or for a corporation, partnership, estate or trust shall be deemed to be owned proportionately by or for its shareholders, partners or beneficiaries. Stock with respect to which such Employee holds an Option shall not be counted.


 


(d) Outstanding Stock. For purposes of Subsection (b) above, “outstanding stock” shall include all stock actually issued and outstanding immediately after the grant. “Outstanding Stock” shall not include shares authorized for issuance under outstanding Options held (but not exercised) by the Employee or by any other person.


 


Section 4. STOCK SUBJECT TO PLAN


 


(a) Basic Limitation. Shares offered under the Plan shall be authorized but unissued Shares. Subject to Sections 4(b) and 8 of the Plan, the aggregate number of Shares which may be issued or transferred as common stock pursuant to an Award under the Plan shall not exceed Six Million (6,000,000) shares of Authorized Common Stock of the Company.


 


In any event, the number of Shares that are subject to Awards or other rights outstanding at any time under the Plan shall not exceed the number of Shares which then remain available for issuance under the Plan.


 


The Company, during the term of the Plan, shall at all times reserve and keep available sufficient Shares to satisfy the requirements of the Plan.


 


(b) Additional Shares. In the event that any outstanding Option or other right for any reason expires or is canceled or otherwise terminated, the Shares allocable to the unexercised portion of such Option or other right shall again be available for the purposes of the Plan. If a Restricted Share is forfeited before any dividends have been paid with respect to such Restricted Share, then such Restricted Share shall again become available for award under the Plan.

Such award or sale shall be subject to all applicable terms and conditions of the Plan and may be subject to any other terms and conditions which are not inconsistent with the Plan and which the Committee deems appropriate for inclusion in a Stock Purchase Agreement. The provisions of the various Stock Purchase Agreements entered into under the Plan need not be identical.

(ii) Cashless Exercise. To the extent that a Stock Option Agreement so provides and a public market for the Shares exists, payment may be made all or in part by delivery (on a form prescribed by the Committee) of an irrevocable direction to a securities broker to sell shares and to deliver all or part of the sale proceeds to the Company in payment of the aggregate Exercise Price.

(iii) Other Forms of Payment. To the extent provided in the Stock Option Agreement, payment may be made in any other form that is consistent with applicable laws, regulations and rules.


 


(e) Exercise of Awards on Termination of Service. Each Stock Award Agreement shall set forth the extent to which the recipient shall have the right to exercise the Award following termination of the recipient’s Service with the Company and its Subsidiaries.

Section 6. ADDITIONAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF RESTRICTED SHARES


 


(a) Form and Amount of Award. Each Stock Award Agreement shall specify the number of Shares that are subject to the Award. Restricted Shares may be awarded in combination with NSOs and such an Award may provide that the Restricted Shares will be forfeited in the event that the related NSOs are exercised.


 


(b) Exercisability. Each Stock Award Agreement shall specify the conditions upon which Restricted Shares shall become vested, in full or in installments. To the extent required by applicable law, each Stock Award shall become exercisable no less rapidly than the rate of 20% of the Award per year for each of the first five years from the date of grant. Subject to the preceding sentence, the exercisability of any Stock Award shall be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion.


 


(c) Effect of Change in Control. The Committee may determine at the time of making an Award or thereafter, that such Award shall become fully vested, in whole or in part, in the event that a Change in Control occurs with respect to the Company.


 


(d) Voting Rights. Holders of Restricted Shares awarded under the Plan shall have the same voting, dividend and other rights as the Company’s other stockholders. A Stock Award Agreement, however, may require that the holders invested any cash dividends received in additional Restricted Shares. Such additional Restricted Shares shall be subject to the same conditions and restrictions as the Award with respect to which the dividends were paid. Such additional Restricted Shares shall not reduce the number of Shares available under Section 4.


 


Section 7. TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF OPTIONS


 


(a) Stock Option Agreement. Each grant of an Option under the Plan shall be evidenced by a Stock Option Agreement between the Optionee and the Company. Such Option shall be subject to all applicable terms and conditions of the Plan and may be subject to any other terms and conditions which are not inconsistent with the Plan and which the Committee deems appropriate for inclusion in a Stock Option Agreement. The provisions of the various Stock Option Agreements entered into under the Plan need not be identical.

The Exercise Price of an ISO shall not be less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant, except as otherwise provided in Section 3(b). Except as otherwise provided in Section 3(b), the Exercise Price of a Nonstatutory Option is not subject to any minimum price and the exercise price does not have to be determined based on the Fair Market Value of a Share. Subject to the preceding two sentences, the Exercise Price under any Option shall be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion. The Exercise Price shall be payable in a form described in Subsection (h) below.


 


(d) Exercisability. Each Stock Option Agreement shall specify the date when all or any installment of the Option is to become exercisable.

Subject to the preceding sentence, the exercisability of any Option shall be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion.


 


(e) Effect of Change in Control. The Committee may determine, at the time of granting an Option or thereafter, that such Option shall become fully exercisable as to all Shares subject to such Option in the event that a Change in Control occurs with respect to the Company.

(g) Exercise of Options on Termination of Service. Each Option shall set forth the extent to which the Optionee shall have the right to exercise the Option following termination of the Optionee’s Service with the Company and its Subsidiaries. Such provisions shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Committee, need not be uniform among all Options issued pursuant to the Plan, and may reflect distinctions based on the reasons for termination of employment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent required by applicable law, each Option shall provide that the Optionee shall have the right to exercise the vested portion of any Option held at termination for at least 60 days following termination of Service with the Company for any reason, and that the Optionee shall have the right to exercise the Option for at least six months if the Optionee’s Service terminates due to death or Disability.

To the extent that a Stock Option Agreement or Stock Purchase Agreement so provides, and to the extent allowable to applicable law, payment may be made all or in part with a full recourse promissory note executed by the Optionee or Offeree. The interest rate and other terms and conditions of such note shall be determined by the Committee. The Committee may require that the Optionee or Offeree pledge his or her Shares to the Company for the purpose of securing the payment of such note. In no event shall the stock certificate(s) representing such Shares be released to the Optionee or Offeree until such note is paid in full.

(i) Cashless Exercise. To the extent that a Stock Option Agreement so provides and a public market for the Shares exists, payment may be made all or in part by delivery (on a form prescribed by the Committee) of an irrevocable direction to a securities broker to sell shares and to deliver all or part of the sale proceeds to the Company in payment of the aggregate Exercise Price.

(j) Modification, Extension and Assumption of Options. Within the limitations of the Plan, the Committee may modify, extend or assume outstanding Options or may accept the cancellation of outstanding Options (whether granted by the Company or another issuer) in return for the grant of new Options for the same or a different number of Shares and at the same or a different Exercise Price or for other consideration.


 


Section 8. ADJUSTMENT OF SHARES


 


(a) General. In the event of a subdivision of the outstanding Stock, a declaration of a dividend payable in Shares, a combination or consolidation of the outstanding Stock into a lesser number of Shares, a recapitalization, a reclassification or a similar occurrence, the Committee shall make appropriate adjustments, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 8(c), in one or more of (i) the number of Shares available for future Awards under Section 4, (ii) the number of Shares covered by each outstanding Option or Purchase Agreement or (iii) the Exercise Price or Purchase Price under each outstanding Option or Stock Purchase Agreement.


 


(b) Reorganizations. In the event that the Company is a party to a merger or reorganization, outstanding Options shall be subject to the agreement of merger or reorganization, provided however, that the limitations set forth in Section 8(c) shall apply.


 


(c) Reservation of Rights. Except as provided in this Section 8, an Optionee or an Offeree shall have no rights by reason of (i) any subdivision or consolidation of shares of stock of any class, (ii) the payment of any dividend or (iii) any other increase or decrease in the number of shares of stock of any class. 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, Exercise Price or Purchase Agreement of Shares subject to an Option or Stock Purchase Agreement. The grant of an Award pursuant to the Plan shall not affect in any way the right or power of the Company to make adjustments, reclassifications, reorganizations or changes of its capital or business structure, to merge or consolidate or to dissolve, liquidate, sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets.

(a) General. To the extent required by applicable federal, state, local or foreign law, a Participant or his or her successor shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Committee for the satisfaction of any withholding tax obligations that arise in connection with the Plan. The Company shall not be required to issue any Shares or make any cash payment under the Plan until such obligations are satisfied.


 


(b) Share Withholding. The Committee may permit a Participant to satisfy all or part of his or her withholding or income tax obligations by having the Company withhold all or a portion of any Shares that otherwise would be issued to him or her or by surrendering all or a portion of any Shares that he or she previously acquired. Such Shares shall be valued at their Fair Market Value on the date when taxes otherwise would be withheld in cash. Any payment of taxes by assigning Shares to the Company may be subject to restrictions, including any restrictions required by rules of any federal or state regulatory body or other authority.


 


(c) Cashless Exercise/Pledge. The Committee may provide that if Company Shares are publicly traded at the time of exercise, arrangements may be made to meet the Optionee’s withholding obligation by cashless exercise or pledge.


 


(d) Other Forms of Payment. The Committee may permit such other means of tax withholding as it deems appropriate.


 


Section 10. ASSIGNMENT OR TRANSFER OF AWARDS


 


(a) General. An Award granted under the Plan shall not be anticipated, assigned, attached, garnished, optioned, transferred or made subject to any creditor’s process, whether voluntarily, involuntarily or by operation of law, except as approved by the Committee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, ISOs may not be transferable. Also notwithstanding the foregoing, Offerees and Optionees may not transfer their rights hereunder except by will, beneficiary designation or the laws of descent and distribution.


 


(b) Trusts. Neither this Section 10 nor any other provision of the Plan shall preclude a Participant from transferring or assigning Restricted Shares to (a) the trustee of a trust that is revocable by such Participant alone, both at the time of the transfer or assignment and at all times thereafter prior to such Participant’s death, or (b) the trustee of any other trust to the extent approved by the Committee in writing. A transfer or assignment of Restricted Shares from such trustee to any other person than such Participant shall be permitted only to the extent approved in advance by the Committee in writing, and Restricted Shares held by such trustee shall be subject to all the conditions and restrictions set forth in the Plan and in the applicable Stock Award Agreement, as if such trustee were a party to such Agreement.


 


Section 11. LEGAL REQUIREMENTS


 


Shares shall not be issued under the Plan unless the issuance and delivery of such Shares complies with (or is exempt from) all applicable requirements of law, including (without limitation) the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, state securities laws and regulations, and the regulations of any stock exchange on which the Company’s securities may then be listed.

Section 13. DURATION AND AMENDMENTS
