      BACKGROUND,
        PURPOSE AND DURATION 

       

      1.1 Background
        and Effective Date.
        The Plan
        provides for the granting of Nonqualified Stock Options, Incentive Stock
        Options, Stock Appreciation Rights (or SARs), Restricted Stock, Performance
        Units, and Performance Shares. The Plan is adopted and effective as of July
        3,
        2007. The Company will seek stockholder approval in the manner and to the
        degree
        required under Applicable Laws. If the Company fails to obtain stockholder
        approval of the Plan within twelve (12) months after the date this Plan is
        adopted by the Board, pursuant to Section 422 of the Code, any Option granted
        as
        an Incentive Option at any time under the Plan will not qualify as an Incentive
        Option within the meaning of the Code and will be deemed to be a Non-Statutory
        Option.

      

      1.2 Purpose
        of the Plan.
        The
        purpose of the Plan is to promote the success, and enhance the value, of
        the
        Company by aligning the interests of Participants with those of the Company’s
        shareholders, and by providing Participants with an incentive for outstanding
        performance. The Plan is further intended to provide flexibility to the Company
        in its ability to motivate, attract, and retain the services of outstanding
        individuals, upon whose judgment, interest, and special effort the success
        of
        the Company largely is dependent.

      

      1.3 Duration
        of the Plan.
        The
        Plan shall commence on the date specified in Section 1.1 and subject to Section

        are then listed and/or traded. 

       

      3.2 Authority

      The
        Committee, in its sole discretion and on such terms and conditions as it

        provide, may delegate all or any part of its authority and powers under the
        Plan
        to one or more directors and/or officers of the Company; provided,
        however,
        that

        of
        Shares available for grant under the Plan: 

       

      (a) While
        an
        Award is outstanding, it shall be counted against the authorized pool of
        Shares,
        regardless of its vested status. 

       

      (b) The
        grant
        of an Option or Restricted Stock shall reduce the Shares available for grant
        under the Plan by the number of Shares subject to such Award. 

       

      (c) The
        grant
        of a Tandem SAR shall reduce the number of Shares available for grant by
        the
        number of Shares subject to the related Option (i.e., there is no double
        counting of Options and their related Tandem SARs); provided,
        however,
        that,
        upon the exercise of such Tandem SAR, the authorized Share pool shall be
        credited with the appropriate number of Shares representing the number of
        shares
        reserved for such Tandem SAR less the number of Shares actually delivered
        upon
        exercise thereof or the number of Shares having a Fair Market Value equal
        to the
        cash payment made upon such exercise. 

       

      (d) The
        grant
        of an Affiliated SAR shall reduce the number of Shares available for grant
        by
        the number of Shares subject to the SAR, in addition to the number of Shares
        subject to the related Option; provided, however, that, upon the exercise
        of
        such Affiliated SAR, the authorized Share pool shall be credited with the
        appropriate number of Shares representing the number of shares reserved for
        such
        Affiliated SAR less the number of Shares actually delivered upon exercise
        thereof or the number of Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the cash
        payment made upon such exercise. 

       

      (e) The
        grant
        of a Freestanding SAR shall reduce the number of Shares available for grant
        by
        the number of Freestanding SARs granted; provided,
        however,
        that,
        upon the exercise of such Freestanding SAR, the authorized Share pool shall
        be
        credited with the appropriate number of Shares representing the number of
        shares
        reserved for such Freestanding SAR less the number of Shares actually delivered
        upon exercise thereof or the number of Shares having a Fair Market Value
        equal
        to the cash payment made upon such exercise. 

       

      (f) The
        Committee shall in each case determine the appropriate number of Shares to
        deduct from the authorized pool in connection with the grant of Performance
        Units and/or Performance Shares. 

       

      (g) To
        the
        extent that an Award is settled in cash rather than in Shares, the authorized
        Share pool shall be credited with the appropriate number of Shares having
        a Fair
        Market Value equal to the cash settlement of the Award. 

       

      4.3 Lapsed
        Awards.
        If an
        Award is cancelled, terminates, expires, or lapses for any reason (with the
        exception of the termination of a Tandem SAR upon exercise of the related

        combination thereof. 

       

      5.2 Award

        Each
        Option shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement that shall specify the Option
        Price, the expiration date of the Option, the number of Shares to which the
        Option pertains, any conditions to exercise of the Option, and such other
        terms
        and conditions as the Committee, in its discretion, shall determine. The
        Award
        Agreement also shall specify whether the Option is intended to be an ISO
        or a
        NQSO. 

       

      5.3 Option
        Price.
        Subject
        to the provisions of this Section 5.3,
        the

        sole
        discretion.

        In the
        case of a Nonqualified Stock Option, the Option Price shall be not less than

        Stock Options.
        In the
        case of an Incentive Stock Option, the Option Price shall be not less than
        one
        hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date that
        the

        however,
        that if
        at the time that the Option is granted, the Employee (together with persons
        whose stock ownership is attributed to the Employee pursuant to Section 424(d)
        of the Code) owns stock possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting
        power of all classes of stock of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries,
        the
        Option Price shall be not less than one hundred and ten percent (110%) of

      5.3.3 Substitute
        Options.
        Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 5.3.1
        and
5.3.2,
        in the
        event that the Company or an Affiliate consummates a transaction described
        in
        Section 424(a) of the Code (e.g., the acquisition of property or stock from
        an
        unrelated corporation), persons who become Employees, Consultants or Directors
        on account of such transaction may be granted Options in substitution for
        options granted by their former employer. If such substitute Options are
        granted, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may determine that such
        substitute Options shall have an exercise price less than 100% of the Fair
        Market Value of the Shares on the date the Option is granted. 

       

      5.4 Expiration
        of Options.
        Unless
        the applicable stock option agreement provides otherwise, each Option shall

      5.4.2 Committee
        Discretion.
        The
        Committee shall provide, in the terms of each individual Option, when such
        Option expires and becomes unexercisable. After the Option is granted, the
        Committee, in its sole discretion may extend the maximum term of such
        Option.
        The
        foregoing discretionary authority is subject to the limitations and restrictions
        on Incentive Stock Options set forth in Section 5.8.

       

      5.5 Exercise
        of Options.
        Options

        such
        restrictions and conditions, as the Committee shall determine in its sole
        discretion. After an Option is granted, the Committee, in its sole discretion,
        may accelerate the exercisability of the Option. 

       

      5.6 Payment.
        The
        Committee shall determine the acceptable form of consideration for exercising
        an
        Option, including the method of payment. In the case of an Incentive Stock
        Option, the Committee shall determine the acceptable form of consideration
        at
        the time of grant. Such consideration may consist entirely of:

        of
        surrender, and (ii) have a Fair Market Value on the date of surrender equal
        to the aggregate exercise price of the Shares as to which said Option shall
        be
        exercised;

       

      (e) consideration
        received by the Company from a licensed broker under a cashless exercise
        program
        implemented by the Company to facilitate “same day” exercises and sales of
        Options;

       

      (f) a
        reduction in the amount of any Company liability to the Participant, including
        any liability attributable to the Participant's participation in any
        Company-sponsored deferred compensation program or arrangement;

       

      (g) any
        combination of the foregoing methods of payment; or

        other consideration and method of payment for the issuance of Shares to the
        extent permitted by Applicable Laws. 

       

      5.7 Restrictions
        on Share Transferability.
        The
        Committee may impose such restrictions on any Shares acquired pursuant to
        the
        exercise of an Option, as it may deem advisable, including, but not limited
        to,
        restrictions related to Federal securities laws, the requirements of any
        national securities exchange or system upon which such Shares are then listed
        and/or traded, and/or any blue sky or state securities laws.

      5.8 Certain
        Additional Provisions for Incentive Stock Options. 

       

      5.8.1 Exercisability.
        The
        aggregate Fair Market Value (determined at the time the Option is granted)
        of
        the Shares with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable
        for the
        first time by any Employee during any calendar year (under all plans of the
        Company and its Subsidiaries) shall not exceed $100,000. 

       

      5.8.2 Termination
        of Employment.
        No
        Incentive Stock Option may be exercised more than three months after the
        Participant’s termination of employment for any reason other than Disability or
        death, unless (a) the Participant dies during such three-month period, and
        (b)
        the Award Agreement and/or the Committee permits later exercise. No Incentive
        Stock Option may be exercised more than one year after the Participant’s
        termination of employment on account of Disability, unless (a) the Participant
        dies during such one-year period, and (b) the Award Agreement and/or the
        Committee permit later exercise.

       

      5.8.3 Employees

        of the
        Company and/or a Subsidiary at the time of grant. 

       

      5.8.4 Expiration.
        No
        Incentive Stock Option may be exercised after the expiration of 10 years
        from
        the date such Option was granted; provided,
        however,
        that if
        the Option is granted to an Employee who, together with persons whose stock
        ownership is attributed to the Employee pursuant to Section 424(d) of the
        Code,
        owns stock possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of
        all
        classes of the stock of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, the Option
        may
        not be exercised after the expiration of 5 years from the date that it was
        granted.

       

      5.9 Nontransferability
        of Options.
        No
        Option granted under the Plan may be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned,
        or
        otherwise alienated or hypothecated, other than by will, the laws of descent
        and
        distribution, or as provided under Section 9. All Options granted to a
        Participant under the Plan shall be exercisable during his or her lifetime
        only
        by such Participant.

      6.1 Grant
        of SARs.
        An SAR
        may be granted to an Employee, Consultant or Director at any time and from
        time
        to time as determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion. The Committee
        may grant Affiliated SARs, Freestanding SARs, Tandem SARs, or any combination
        thereof. The Committee shall have complete discretion to determine the number
        of
        SARs granted to any Participant, and consistent with the provisions of the
        Plan,
        the terms and conditions pertaining to such SARs. However, the grant price
        of a
        Freestanding SAR shall be at least equal to the Fair Market Value of a Share
        on
        the date of grant. The grant price of Tandem or Affiliated SARs shall equal
        the
        Option Price of the related Option. 

       

      6.2 Exercise
        of Tandem SARs.
        Tandem
        SARs may be exercised for all or part of the Shares subject to the related
        Option upon the surrender of the right to exercise the equivalent portion
        of the
        related Option. A Tandem SAR may be exercised only with respect to the Shares
        for which its related Option is then exercisable. 

       

      6.2.1 ISOs.
        Notwithstanding any contrary provision of the Plan, with respect to a Tandem
        SAR
        granted in connection with an ISO: (i) the Tandem SAR shall expire no later
        than
        the expiration of the underlying ISO; (ii) the value of the payout with respect
        to the Tandem SAR shall be for no more than one hundred percent (100%) of
        the
        difference between the Option Price of the underlying ISO and the Fair Market
        Value of the Shares subject to the underlying ISO at the time the Tandem
        SAR is
        exercised; and (iii) the Tandem SAR shall be exercisable only when the Fair
        Market Value of the Shares subject to the ISO exceeds the Option Price of
        the
        ISO.

      6.3 Exercise
        of Affiliated SARs.
        An
        Affiliated SAR shall be deemed to be exercised upon the exercise of the related
        Option. The deemed exercise of an Affiliated SAR shall not necessitate a
        reduction in the number of Shares subject to the related Option. 

       

      6.4 Exercise
        of Freestanding SARs.
        Freestanding SARs shall be exercisable on such terms and conditions as the
        Committee, in its sole discretion, shall determine. 

       

      6.5 SAR
        Agreement.
        Each
        SAR shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement that shall specify the grant
        price,
        the term of the SAR, the conditions of exercise, and such other terms and
        conditions as the Committee, in its sole discretion, shall determine.

       

      6.6 Expiration
        of SARs.
        An SAR
        granted under the Plan shall expire upon the date determined by the Committee,
        in its sole discretion, and set forth in the Award Agreement. Notwithstanding
        the foregoing, the rules of Section 5.4
        (pertaining to Options) also shall apply to SARs. 

       

      6.7 Payment
        of SAR Amount.
        Upon
        exercise of an SAR, a Participant shall be entitled to receive payment from
        the
        Company in an amount determined by multiplying: 

       

      (a) The
        difference between the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of exercise
        over
        the grant price; times 

       

      (b) The
        number of Shares with respect to which the SAR is exercised. 

       

      At
        the
        discretion of the Committee, the payment upon SAR exercise may be in cash,
        in
        Shares of equivalent value, or in some combination thereof. 

       

      6.8 Nontransferability
        of SARs.
        No SAR
        granted under the Plan may be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise
        alienated or hypothecated, other than by will, the laws of descent and
        distribution, or as permitted under Section 9. An SAR granted to a Participant
        shall be exercisable during the Participant’s lifetime only by such Participant.

      7.1 Grant
        of Restricted Stock.
        Subject
        to the terms and provisions of the Plan, the Committee, at any time and from
        time to time, may grant Shares of Restricted Stock to Employees, Consultants
        or
        Directors in such amounts as the Committee, in its sole discretion, shall
        determine. 

       

      7.2 Restricted
        Stock Agreement.
        Each
        Award of Restricted Stock shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement that shall
        specify the Period of Restriction, the number of Shares granted, and such
        other
        terms and conditions as the Committee, in its sole discretion, shall determine.
        Unless the Committee determines otherwise, shares of Restricted Stock shall
        be
        held by the Company as escrow agent until the restrictions on such Shares
        have
        lapsed. 

       

      7.3 Transferability.
        Except
        as provided in this Section 7, Shares of Restricted Stock may not be sold,
        transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated until
        the
        end of the applicable Period of Restriction. All rights with respect to the
        Restricted Stock granted to a Participant under the Plan shall be available
        during his or her lifetime only to such Participant.

      7.4 Other
        Restrictions.
        The
        Committee, in its sole discretion, may impose such other restrictions on
        any
        Shares of Restricted Stock as it may deem advisable including, without
        limitation, restrictions based upon the achievement of specific performance
        goals (Company-wide, divisional, and/or individual), and/or restrictions
        under
        applicable Federal or state securities laws; and may legend the certificates
        representing Restricted Stock to give appropriate notice of such restrictions.
        For example, the Committee may determine that some or all certificates
        representing Shares of Restricted Stock shall bear the following
        legend: 

       

      “The
        sale
        or other transfer of the shares of stock represented by this certificate,
        whether voluntary, involuntary, or by operation of law, is subject to certain
        restrictions on transfer as set forth in the Universal Detection Technology
        2007-2 Equity Incentive Plan, and in a Restricted Stock Agreement. A copy
        of the
        Plan and such Restricted Stock Agreement may be obtained from the Secretary
        of
        Universal Detection Technology.”

       

      7.5 Removal
        of Restrictions.
        Except
        as otherwise provided in this Section 7, Shares of Restricted Stock covered
        by
        each Restricted Stock grant made under the Plan shall be released from escrow
        as
        soon as practicable after the last day of the Period of Restriction. The
        Committee, in its discretion, may accelerate the time at which any restrictions
        shall lapse, and/or remove any restrictions. After the restrictions have
        lapsed,
        the Participant shall be entitled to have any legend or legends under Section
        7.4
        removed
        from his or her Share certificate, and the Shares shall be freely transferable
        by the Participant. 

       

      7.6 Voting
        Rights.
        During
        the Period of Restriction, Participants holding Shares of Restricted Stock
        granted hereunder may exercise full voting rights with respect to those Shares,
        unless the Committee determines otherwise. 

       

      7.7 Dividends
        and Other Distributions.
        During
        the Period of Restriction, Participants holding Shares of Restricted Stock
        shall
        be entitled to receive all dividends and other distributions paid with respect
        to such Shares, unless otherwise provided in the Award Agreement. If any
        such
        dividends or distributions are paid in Shares, the Shares shall be subject
        to
        the same restrictions on transferability and forfeitability as the Shares
        of
        Restricted Stock with respect to which they were paid. 

       

      7.8 Return
        of Restricted Stock to Company.
        Subject
        to the applicable Award Agreement and Section 7.5,
        upon
        the earlier of (a) the Participant’s Termination of Employment, or (b) the date
        set forth in the Award Agreement, the Restricted Stock for which restrictions
        have not lapsed shall revert to the Company and, subject to Section 4.3,
        again
        shall become available for grant under the Plan. 

       

      7.9 Repurchase
        Option.

        Agreement shall be the original price paid by the Participant and may be

      PERFORMANCE
        UNITS AND PERFORMANCE SHARES 

       

      8.1 Grant
        of Performance Units/Shares.
        Performance Units and Performance Shares may be granted to Employees,
        Consultants or Directors at any time and from time to time, as shall be
        determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion. The Committee shall
        have
        complete discretion in determining the number of Performance Units and
        Performance Shares granted to each Participant. 

       

      8.2 Value
        of Performance Units/Shares.
        Each
        Performance Unit shall have an initial value that is established by the
        Committee at the time of grant. Each Performance Share shall have an initial
        value equal to the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant. The
        Committee shall set performance goals in its discretion which, depending
        on the
        extent to which they are met, will determine the number and/or value of
        Performance Units/Shares that will be paid out to the Participants. The time
        period during which the performance goals must be met shall be called the
        “Performance
        Period”.
        

       

      8.3 Earning
        of Performance Units/Shares.
        After
        the applicable Performance Period has ended, the holder of Performance
        Units/Shares shall be entitled to receive a payout of the number of Performance
        Units/Shares earned by the Participant over the Performance Period, to be
        determined as a function of the extent to which the corresponding performance
        goals have been achieved. After the grant of a Performance Unit/Share, the
        Committee, in its sole discretion, may adjust and/or waive the achievement
        of
        any performance goals for such Performance Unit/Share. 

       

      8.4 Form
        and Timing of Payment of Performance Units/Shares.
        Payment
        of earned Performance Units/Shares shall be made as soon as practicable after
        the expiration of the applicable Performance Period. The Committee, in its
        sole
        discretion, may pay earned Performance Units/Shares in the form of cash,
        in
        Shares (which have an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to the value of the
        earned Performance Units/Shares at the close of the applicable Performance
        Period) or in a combination thereof. 

       

      8.5 Cancellation
        of Performance Units/Shares.
        Subject
        to the applicable Award Agreement, upon the earlier of (a) the Participant’s
        Termination of Employment, or (b) the date set forth in the Award Agreement,
        all
        remaining Performance Units/Shares shall be forfeited by the Participant
        to the
        Company, and subject to Section 4.3,
        the
        Shares subject thereto shall again be available for grant under the Plan.
        

       

      8.6 Nontransferability.
        Performance Units/Shares may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned,
        or
        otherwise alienated or hypothecated, other than by will, the laws of descent
        and
        distribution, or as permitted under Section 9. A Participant’s rights under the
        Plan shall be exercisable during the Participant’s lifetime only by the
        Participant or the Participant’s legal representative.

      BENEFICIARY
        DESIGNATION 

       

      If
        permitted by the Committee, a Participant may name a beneficiary or
        beneficiaries to whom any unpaid vested Award shall be paid in event of the
        Participant’s death. Each such designation shall revoke all prior designations
        by the same Participant and shall be effective only if given in a form and
        manner acceptable to the Committee. In the absence of any such designation,
        benefits remaining unpaid at the Participant’s death shall be paid to the
        Participant’s estate and, subject to the terms of the Plan, any unexercised
        vested Award may be exercised by the Committee or executor of the Participant’s
        estate.

        to the
        Company Shares already owned for more than six (6) months having a value
        equal
        to the amount required to be withheld. The value of the Shares to be delivered

        by
        him or her in connection with or resulting from any claim, notion, suit,

      15.1 Changes
        in Capitalization; No Award Repricing.
        Subject
        to any required action by the shareholders of the Company, the number of
        Shares
        covered by each outstanding Award, and the number of Shares which have been
        authorized for issuance under the Plan but as to which no Awards have yet
        been
        granted or which have been returned to the Plan upon cancellation or expiration
        of an Award, as well as the price per Share covered by each such outstanding
        Award, shall be proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease in
        the
        number of issued Shares resulting from a stock split, reverse stock split,
        stock
        dividend, combination or reclassification of the Shares, or any other increase
        or decrease in the number of issued Shares effected without receipt of
        consideration by the Company; provided,

        that
        conversion of any convertible securities of the Company shall not be deemed
        to
        have been “effected without receipt of consideration.” Such adjustment shall be
        made by the Board, whose determination in that respect shall be final, binding
        and conclusive. Except as expressly provided herein, no issuance by the Company
        of shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of
        stock
        of any class, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be
        made
        with respect to, the number or price of Shares subject to an Award. Further,
        except for the adjustments provided herein, no Award may be amended to reduce
        its initial exercise price, and no Award may be cancelled and replaced with
        an
        Award with a lower price.

      

      15.2 
        Dissolution or Liquidation.
        In the
        event of the proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Committee
        shall notify each Participant as soon as practicable prior to the effective
        date
        of such proposed transaction. The Committee in its discretion may provide
        for a
        Participant to have the right to exercise his or her Award until ten (10)
        days
        prior to such transaction as to all of the Shares covered thereby, including
        Shares as to which the Award would not otherwise be exercisable. In addition,
        the Committee may provide that any Company repurchase option applicable to
        any
        Shares purchased upon exercise of an Award shall lapse as to all such Shares,
        provided the proposed dissolution or liquidation takes place at the time
        and in
        the manner contemplated. To the extent it has not been previously exercised,
        an

      15.3 Merger
        or Asset Sale.
        In the
        event of a merger of the Company with or into another corporation, or the
        sale
        of substantially all of the assets of the Company, each outstanding Award
        shall
        be assumed or an equivalent option or right substituted by the successor
        corporation or a Parent or Subsidiary of the successor corporation. In the
        event
        that the successor corporation refuses to assume or substitute for the Award,
        the Participant shall fully vest in and have the right to exercise the Award
        as
        to all of the Shares as to which it would not otherwise be vested or
        exercisable. If an Award becomes fully vested and exercisable in lieu of
        assumption or substitution in the event of a merger or sale of assets, the
        Committee shall notify the Participant in writing or electronically that
        the
        Award shall be fully vested and exercisable for a period of fifteen (15)
        days
        from the date of such notice, and the Award shall terminate upon the expiration
        of such period. For the purposes of this paragraph, the Award shall be
        considered assumed if, following the merger or sale of assets, the option
        or
        right confers the right to purchase or receive, for each Share subject to
        the
        Award immediately prior to the merger or sale of assets, the consideration
        (whether stock, cash, or other securities or property) received in the merger
        or
        sale of assets by holders of Shares for each Share held on the effective
        date of
        the transaction (and if holders were offered a choice of consideration, the
        type
        of consideration chosen by the holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares);
        provided,
        however,
        that if
        such consideration received in the merger or sale of assets is not solely
        common
        stock of the successor corporation or its Parent, the Committee may, with
        the
        consent of the successor corporation, provide for the consideration to be
        received upon the exercise of the Award, for each Share subject to the Award,
        to
        be solely common stock of the successor corporation or its Parent equal in
        fair
        market value to the per share consideration received by holders of Shares
        in the
        merger or sale of assets.

      15.4 Change
        in Control.
        In the
        event of a Change of Control (as defined below), except as otherwise determined
        by the Board, the Participant shall fully vest in and have the right to exercise
        the Awards as to all of the Shares, including Shares as to which it would
        not
        otherwise be vested or exercisable. If an Award becomes fully vested and
        exercisable as the result of a Change of Control, the Committee shall notify
        the
        Participant in writing or electronically prior to the Change of Control that
        the
        Award shall be fully vested and exercisable for a period of fifteen (15)
        days
        from the date of such notice, and the Award shall terminate upon the expiration
        of such period. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Change of Control” means the
        happening of any of the following events:

       

      (a) When
        any
“person,” as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange
        Act (other than the Company, a Subsidiary or a Company employee benefit plan,
        including any trustee of such plan acting as trustee) is or becomes the
“beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act),
        directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing fifty percent
        (50%) or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding
        securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors;
        or

       

      (b) The
        stockholders of the Company approve a merger or consolidation of the Company
        with any other corporation, other than a merger or consolidation which would
        result in the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior
        thereto continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being
        converted into voting securities of the surviving entity) more than fifty
        percent (50%) of the total voting power represented by the voting securities
        of
        the Company or such surviving entity outstanding immediately after such merger
        or consolidation, or the stockholders of the Company approve an agreement
        for
        the sale or disposition by the Company of all or substantially all the Company’s
        assets; or

       

      (c) A
        change
        in the composition of the Board of Directors of the Company, as a result
        of
        which fewer than a majority of the directors are Incumbent Directors.
“Incumbent
        Directors”
shall
        mean directors who either (A) are directors of the Company as of the date
        the Plan is approved by the stockholders, or (B) are elected, or nominated
        for election, to the Board of Directors of the Company with the affirmative
        votes of at least a majority of the Incumbent Directors at the time of such
        election or nomination (but shall not include an individual whose election
        or
        nomination is in connection with an actual or threatened proxy contest relating
        to the election of directors to the Company).

            Amendment to SHPI Employment Agreement
 

 

Dear David:

 

I refer to the Employment Agreement, dated August 23, 2006, between SHPI and yourself. Upon execution of this letter, the following Section 2.4 will supersede Section 2.4 of the Agreement as follows:

2.4       Termination Other Than For Cause. Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement, Corporation may effect a Termination Other Than For Cause at any time upon giving written notice to Employee of such termination. Upon any Termination Other Than For Cause, Employee shall promptly be paid all accrued salary, bonus compensation to the extent earned, vested deferred compensation (other than pension plan, profit sharing plan and stock option plan benefits which will be paid in accordance with the applicable plan), any benefits under any plans of the Corporation in which Employee is a participant to the full extent of Employee’s rights under such plans (other than pension plan, profit sharing plan and stock option plan benefits which will be paid in accordance with the applicable plan), accrued
vacation pay and any appropriate business expenses incurred by Employee in connection with his duties hereunder, all to the date of termination, with the exception of salary and medical benefits which shall continue for a period of twelve (12) months, so long as Employee complies with the provisions of Sections 5 through 8. In the event of a merger, acquisition, or substantial sale of Corporation’s controlling shares wherein the Corporation is no longer the controlling entity, if Employee is not offered an equivalent position, Employee shall be entitled to severance pay and medical benefits for a period of twelve (12) months, so long as Employee complies with the provisions of Sections 5 through 8.

Except as otherwise modified herein, the terms of your Employment Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. This letter agreement and the Employment Agreement contain the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and supersede in all respects any and all prior oral or written agreements or understandings. 

 

If the foregoing is in accordance with your understanding, please indicate by executing a copy of this letter, whereupon this letter shall become a binding agreement with SHPI.

 

Sincerely,

 

	
             
 	
            /s/ Jeffrey Soinski   
 

Jeffrey Soinski

President & CEO

 

Agreed to and accepted by:
