Exhibit 4.1


 





 







2018
INCENTIVE AND NONSTATUTORY STOCK OPTION PLAN


 


1.
Purpose


 


This
Incentive and Nonstatutory Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”) is intended to further the growth and financial success
of Harbor Custom Homes, Inc., a Washington corporation (the “Company”) by providing additional incentives to selected
employees, directors, and consultants to the Company or parent corporation or subsidiary corporation of the Company as those terms
are defined in Sections 424(e) and 424(f) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) (such parent
corporations and subsidiary corporations hereinafter collectively referred to as “Affiliates”) so that such employees,
directors, and consultants may acquire or increase their proprietary interest in the Company. Stock options granted under the
Plan (hereinafter “Options”) may be either “Incentive Stock Options,” as defined in Section 422A of the
Code and any regulations promulgated under said Section, or “Nonstatutory Options” at the discretion of the Board
of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) and as reflected in the respective written stock option agreements granted
pursuant hereto.


 


2.
Administration


 


The
Plan shall be administered by the Board of Directors of the Company; provided however, that the Board may delegate such administration
to a committee of not fewer than three members (the “Committee”), at least two of whom are members of the Board and
all of whom are disinterested administrators, as contemplated by Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended (“Rule 16b-3”); and provided further, that the foregoing requirement for disinterested administrators shall
not apply prior to the date of the first registration of any of the securities of the Company under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended (the “Act”).


 


Subject
to the provisions of the Plan, the Board and/or the Committee shall have authority to (a) grant, in its discretion,
Incentive Stock Options in accordance with Section 422A of the Code or Nonstatutory Options; (b) determine in good faith the
fair market value of the stock covered by an Option; (c) determine which eligible persons shall be granted Options and the
number of shares to be covered thereby and the term thereof; (d) construe and interpret the Plan; (e) promulgate, amend and
rescind rules and regulations relating to its administration, and correct defects, omissions, and inconsistencies in the Plan
or any Option; (f) consistent with the Plan and with the consent of the optionee, as appropriate, amend any outstanding
Option or amend the exercise date or dates thereof; (g) determine the duration and purpose of leaves of absence which may be
granted to optionholders without constituting termination of their employment for the purpose of the Plan; and (h) make all
other determinations necessary or advisable for the Plan’s administration. The interpretation and construction by the
Board of any provisions of the Plan or of any Option shall be conclusive and final. No member of the Board or the Committee
shall be liable for any action or determination made in good faith with respect to the Plan or any Option.

3.
Eligibility




 


The
persons who shall be eligible to receive Options shall be employees, directors, or consultants of the Company or any of its Affiliates
(“Optionees”). The term consultant shall mean any person who is engaged by the Company to render services and is compensated
for such services, and any director of the Company whether or not compensated for such services; provided that, if the Company
registers any of its securities pursuant to the Act, the term consultant shall thereafter not include directors who are not compensated
for their services or are paid only a director fee by the Company.


 


(a)
Incentive Stock Options. Incentive Stock Options may only be issued to employees of the Company or its Affiliates. Incentive
Stock Options may be granted to officers, whether or not they are directors, but a director shall not be granted an Incentive
Stock Option unless such director is also an employee of the Company. Payment of a director fee shall not be sufficient to constitute
employment by the Company. Any grant of option to an officer or director of the Company subsequent to the first registration of
any of the securities of the Company under the Act shall comply with the requirements of Rule 16b-3. An optionee may hold more
than one Option.


 


The
Company shall not grant an Incentive Stock Option under the Plan to any employee if such grant would result in such employee holding
the right to exercise for the first time in any one calendar year, under all options granted to such employee under the Plan or
any other stock option plan maintained by the Company or any Affiliate, with respect to shares of stock having an aggregate fair
market value, determined as of the date of the Option is granted, in excess of $100,000. Should it be determined that an Incentive
Stock Option granted under the Plan exceeds such maximum for any reason other than a failure in good faith to value the stock
subject to such option, the excess portion of such option shall be considered a Nonstatutory Option. If, for any reason, an entire
option does not qualify as an Incentive Stock Option by reason of exceeding such maximum, such option shall be considered a Nonstatutory
Option.


 


(b)
Nonstatutory Option. The provisions of the foregoing Section 3(a) shall not apply to any option designated as a “Nonstatutory
Stock Option Agreement” or which sets forth the intention of the parties that the option be a Nonstatutory Option.


 


4.
Stock




 


The
stock subject to Options shall be the shares of the Company’s authorized but unissued or reacquired Common Stock (the “Stock”).


 






    	2



    	 



    

 


(a)
Number of Shares. Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 5(h) of this Plan, the total number of shares of Stock which
may be purchased through exercise of Options granted under this Plan shall not exceed 1,500,000 shares. If any Option shall for
any reason terminate or expire, any shares allocated thereto but remaining unpurchased upon such expiration or termination shall
again be available for the grant of Options with respect thereto under this Plan as though no Option had been granted with respect
to such shares.


 


(b)
Reservation of Shares. The Company shall reserve and keep available at all times during the term of the Plan such number
of shares as shall be sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the Plan. If, after reasonable efforts, which efforts shall not
include the registration of the Plan or Options under the Act, the Company is unable to obtain authority from any applicable regulatory
body, which authorization is deemed necessary by legal counsel for the Company for the lawful issuance of shares hereunder, the
Company shall be relieved of any liability with respect to its failure to issue and sell the shares for which such requisite authority
was so deemed necessary unless and until such authority is obtained.


 


5.
Terms and Conditions of Options


 


Options
granted hereunder shall be evidenced by agreements between the Company and the respective Optionees, in such form and substance
as the Board or Committee shall from time to time approve. Such agreements need not be identical, and in each case may include
such provisions as the Board or Committee may determine, but all such agreements shall be subject to and limited by the following
terms and conditions:


 


(a)
Number of Shares: Each Option shall state the number of shares to which it pertains.


 


(b)
Option Price: Each Option shall state the Option Price, which shall be determined as follows:


 


(i)
Any Option granted to a person who at the time the Option is granted owns (or is deemed to own pursuant to Section 424(d) of the
Code) stock possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of value of all classes of stock of the Company, or of
any Affiliate, (“10% Holder”) shall have an Option Price of no less than 110% of the fair market value of the common
stock as of the date of grant;


 


(ii)
Incentive Stock Options granted to a person who at the time the Option is granted is not a 10% Holder shall have an Option price
of no less than 100% of the fair market value of the common stock as of the date of grant; and


 


(iii)
Nonstatutory Options granted to a person who at the time the Option is granted is not a 10% Holder shall have an Option Price
determined by the Board as of the date of grant.


 


For
the purposes of this Section 5(b), the fair market value shall be as determined by the Board, in good faith, which determination
shall be conclusive and binding; provided however, that if there is a public market for such stock, the fair market value per
share shall be the average of the bid and asked prices on the date of grant of the Option, or if listed on a stock exchange, the
closing price on such exchange on such date of grant.


 






    	3



    	 



    

 


(c)
Medium and Time of Payment: To the extent permissible by applicable law, the Option price shall be paid, at the discretion
of the Board, at either the time of grant or the time of exercise of the Option (i) in cash or by check, (ii) by delivery of other
common stock of the Company, provided such tendered stock was not acquired directly or indirectly from the Company, or, if acquired
from the Company, has been held by the Optionee for more than six months, or (iii) such other form of legal consideration permitted
by federal and state law as may be acceptable to the Board.


 


(d)
Term and Exercise of Options: Any Option granted to a 10% Holder shall become exercisable over a period of no longer than
five years. Any Option otherwise granted to an Employee of the Company shall become exercisable over a period of no longer than
ten years. No less than 20% of the shares covered by any Option granted shall become exercisable annually and no Option shall
be exercisable, in whole or in part, prior to one year from the date it is granted unless the Board shall specifically determine
otherwise, as provided herein. In no event shall any Option be exercisable after the expiration of ten years from the date it
is granted. Unless otherwise specified by the Board or the Committee in the resolution authorizing such option, the date of grant
of an Option shall be deemed to be the date upon which the Board or the Committee authorizes the granting of such Option.


 


Each
Option shall be exercisable to the nearest whole share, in installments or otherwise, as the respective option agreements may
provide. During the lifetime of an Optionee, the Option shall be exercisable only by the Optionee and shall not be assignable
or transferable by the Optionee, and no other person shall acquire any rights therein. To the extent not exercised, installments
(if more than one) shall accumulate, but shall be exercisable, in whole or in part, only during the period for exercise as stated
in the option agreement, whether or not other installments are then exercisable.


 


(e)
Termination of Status as Employee, Director, or Consultant: If Optionee’s status as an employee, director, or consultant
shall terminate for any reason, then the Optionee (or if the Optionee shall die after such termination, but prior to exercise,
Optionee’s personal representative or the person entitled to succeed to the Option) shall have the right to exercise any
vested Options, in whole or in part, at any time after such termination during the remaining term of the Option; provided, however,
that the Board may specify a shorter period for exercise following termination as the Board deems reasonable and appropriate,
but not shorter than six months in the event Optionee’s termination was caused by permanent disability within the meaning
of Section 22(e)(3) of the Code. The Option may be exercised only with respect to installments that the Optionee could have exercised
at the date of termination of employment. Nothing contained herein or in any Option granted pursuant hereto shall be construed
to affect or restrict in any way the right of the Company to terminate the employment of an Optionee with or without cause.


 






    	4



    	 



    

 


(f)
Death of Optionee: If an Optionee dies while employed or engaged as a director or consultant by the Company or an Affiliate,
the portion of such Optionee’s Option or Options which were exercisable at the date of death may be exercised, in whole
or in part, by the estate of the decedent or by a person succeeding to the right to exercise such Option or Options, at any time
within the remaining term of the Option, but only to the extent, that Optionee could have exercised the Option as of the date
of Optionee’s death; provided, in any case, that the Option may be so exercised only to the extent that the Option has not
previously been exercised by Optionee.


 


(g)
Nontransferability of Option: No Option shall be transferable by the Optionee, except by will or by the laws of descent
and distribution.


 


(h)
Recapitalization: Subject to any required action by the shareholders, the number of shares of common stock covered by each
outstanding Option, and the price per share thereof set forth in each such Option, shall be proportionately adjusted for any increase
or decrease in the number of issued shares of common stock of the Company resulting from a subdivision or consolidation of shares
or the payment of a stock dividend, or any other increase or decrease in the number of such shares affected without receipt of
consideration by the Company.


 


Subject
to any required action by the shareholders, if the Company shall be the surviving entity in any merger or consolidation, each
outstanding Option thereafter shall pertain to and apply to the securities to which a holder of shares of common stock equal to
the shares subject to the Option would have been entitled by reason of such merger or consolidation. A dissolution or liquidation
of the Company or a merger or consolidation in which the Company is not the surviving entity shall cause each outstanding Option
to terminate on the effective date of such dissolution, liquidation, merger, or consolidation. In such event, if the entity which
shall be the surviving entity does not tender to Optionee an offer, for which it has no obligation to do so, to substitute for
any unexercised Option, a stock option or capital stock of such surviving entity, as applicable, which on an equitable basis shall
provide the Optionee with substantially the same economic benefit as such unexercised Option, then the Board may grant to such
Optionee, but shall not be obligated to do so, the right for a period commencing 30 days prior to and ending immediately prior
to such dissolution, liquidation, merger, or consolidation or during the remaining term of the Option, whichever is the lesser,
to exercise any unexpired Option or Options, without regard to the installment provisions of Section 5(d) of this Plan; provided,
that any such right granted shall be granted to all Optionees not receiving an offer to substitute on a consistent basis, and
provided further, that any such exercise shall be subject to the consummation of such dissolution, liquidation, merger, or consolidation.


 


In
the event of a change in the common stock of the Company as presently constituted, which is limited to a change of all of its
authorized shares without par value into the same number of shares with a par value, the shares resulting from any such change
shall be deemed to be the common stock within the meaning of this Plan.


 


To
the extent that the foregoing adjustments relate to stock or securities of the Company, such adjustments shall be made by the
Board, whose determination in that respect shall be final, binding, and conclusive. Except as expressly provided in this Section
5(h), the Optionee shall have no rights by reason of any subdivision or consolidation of shares of stock or 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 number or price
of shares of common stock subject to any Option shall not be affected by, and no adjustment shall be made by reason of, any dissolution,
liquidation, merger or consolidation, or any issue by the Company of shares of stock of any class or securities convertible into
shares of stock of any class.


 






    	5



    	 



    

 


The
grant of an Option pursuant to the Plan shall not affect in any way the right or power of the Company to make any adjustments,
reclassifications, reorganizations, or changes in 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.


 


(i)
Rights as a Shareholder: An Optionee shall have no rights as a shareholder with respect to any shares covered by an Option
until the date of the exercise of the Option, including payment and execution of all documents required therefor (the “Exercise
Date”). No adjustment shall be made for dividends (ordinary or extraordinary, whether in cash, securities, or other property)
or distributions or other rights for which the record date is prior to the Exercise Date, except as expressly provided in Section
5(h) hereof.


 


(j)
Modification, Acceleration, Extension, and Renewal of Options: Subject to the terms and conditions and within the limitations
of the Plan, the Board may modify an Option, or once an Option is exercisable, accelerate the rate at which it may be exercised,
and may extend or renew outstanding Options granted under the Plan or accept the surrender of outstanding Options (to the extent
not theretofore exercised) and authorize the granting of new Options in substitution for such Options, provided such action is
permissible under Section 422A of the Code and state law.


 


Notwithstanding
the foregoing provisions of this Section 5(j), however, no modification of an Option shall, without the consent of the Optionee,
alter to the Optionee’s detriment or impair any rights or obligations under any Option theretofore granted under the Plan.


 


(k)
Investment Intent: Unless and until the issuance and sale of the shares subject to the Plan are registered under the Act,
each Option under the Plan shall provide that the purchases of stock thereunder shall be for investment purposes and not with
a view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution thereof. Further, unless the issuance and sale of the stock have
been registered under the Act, each Option shall provide that no shares shall be purchased upon the exercise of such Option unless
and until (i) any then applicable requirements of state and federal laws and regulatory agencies shall have been fully complied
with to the satisfaction of the Company and its counsel, and (ii) if requested to do so by the Company, the person exercising
the Option shall (A) give written assurances as to the knowledge and experience of such person (or a representative employed by
such person) in financial and business matters and the ability of such person (or representative) to evaluate the merits and risks
of exercising the Option, and (B) execute and deliver to the Company a letter of investment intent, all in such form and substance
as the Company may require. If shares are issued upon exercise of an Option without registration under the Act, subsequent registration
of such shares shall relieve the purchaser thereof of any investment restrictions or representations made upon the exercise of
such Options.


 






    	6



    	 



    

 


(l)
Exercise Before Exercise Date: At the discretion of the Board, the Option may, but need not, include a provision whereby
the Optionee may elect to exercise all or any portion of the Option prior to the stated exercise date of the Option or any installment
thereof. Any shares so purchased prior to the stated exercise date shall be subject to repurchase by the Company upon termination
of Optionee’s employment as contemplated by Sections 5(e), 5(f), and 5(g) hereof prior to the exercise date stated in the
Option and such other restrictions and conditions as the Board or Committee may deem advisable.


 


(m)
Other Provisions: The Option agreements authorized under this Plan shall contain such other provisions, including, without
limitation, restrictions upon the exercise of the Options, as the Board or the Committee shall deem advisable. Shares shall not
be issued pursuant to the exercise of an Option, if the exercise of such Option or the issuance of shares thereunder would violate,
in the opinion of legal counsel for the Company, the provisions of any applicable law or the rules or regulations of any applicable
governmental or administrative agency or body, such as the Act, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the rules promulgated under
the foregoing or the rules and regulations of any exchange upon which the shares of the Company are listed.


 


6.
Availability of Information


 


During
the term of the Plan and any additional period during which an Option granted pursuant to the Plan shall be exercisable, the Company
shall make available, not later than 120 days following the close of each of its fiscal years, such financial and other information
regarding the Company as is required by the bylaws of the Company and applicable law to be furnished to the shareholders of the
Company.


 


7.
Effectiveness of Plan; Expiration


 


Subject
to approval by the shareholders of the Company, this Plan shall be deemed effective as of the date it is adopted by the Board.
The Plan shall expire on November 19, 2028 but such expiration shall not affect the validity of outstanding Options.


 


8.
Amendment and Termination of the Plan


 


The
Board may, insofar as permitted by law, from time to time, with respect to any shares at the time not subject to Options, suspend
or terminate the Plan or revise or amend it in any respect whatsoever, except that without the approval of the shareholders of
the Company, no such revision or amendment shall (i) increase the number of shares subject to the Plan, (ii) decrease the price
at which Options may be granted, (iii) materially increase the benefits to Optionees, or (iv) change the class of persons eligible
to receive Options under this Plan; provided, however, no such action shall alter or impair the rights and obligations under any
Option outstanding as of the date thereof without the written consent of the Optionee thereunder. No Option may be granted while
the Plan is suspended or after it is terminated, but the rights and obligations under any Option granted while the Plan is in
effect shall not be impaired by suspension or termination of the Plan.

9.
Indemnification of Board


 


In
addition to such other rights or indemnifications as they may have as directors or otherwise, and to the extent allowed by applicable
law, the members of the Board and the Committee shall be indemnified by the Company against the reasonable expenses, including
attorneys’ fees, actually and necessarily incurred in connection with the defense of any claim, action, suit or proceeding,
or in connection with any appeal thereof, to which they or any of them may be a 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 claim, action, suit or proceeding, except in any case in relation to matters as to which it shall be
adjudged in such claim, action, suit or proceeding that such Board member is liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance
of his or her duties; provided that within 60 days after institution of any such action, suit or Board proceeding the member involved
shall offer the Company, in writing, the opportunity, at its own expense, to handle and defend the same.


 


10.
Application of Funds


 


The
proceeds received by the Company from the sale of common stock pursuant to the exercise of Options will be used for general corporate
purposes.


 


11.
No Obligation to Exercise Option


 


The
granting of an Option shall impose no obligation upon the Optionee to exercise such Option.


 


12.

All
notice, requests, demands, and other communications pursuant to this Plan shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been
duly given on the date of service if served personally on the party to whom notice is to be given, or on the fifth day following
the mailing thereof to the party to whom notice is to be given, by first class mail, registered or certified, postage prepaid,
or at the time and date of transmission by e-mail if such transmission is between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Pacific

on the next business day following transmission.
