SYSCOMM INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION

2001 FLEXIBLE STOCK PLAN

(As Amended and Restated on December 4, 2008)

1. NAME AND PURPOSE

1.1.
Name.

The name of this Plan is the “SysComm International Corporation 2001 Flexible Stock Plan.”

1.2.
Purpose.

The Company has established this Plan to attract, retain, motivate and reward Employees and
other individuals, to encourage ownership of the Company’s Common Stock by Employees and other
individuals, and to promote and further the best interests of the Company by granting cash and
other awards. This Plan is intended to be “Broadly Based” (as such term is used for purposes of
rules promulgated by The National Association of Securities Dealers).

2. DEFINITIONS OF TERMS AND RULES OF CONSTRUCTION

2.1. General Definitions.

The following words and phrases, when used in the Plan, unless otherwise specifically defined or unless the context clearly otherwise requires, shall have the following respective meanings:

2.1.1. Affiliate.

Parent or Subsidiary of the Company.

2.1.2. Agreement.

The document which evidences the grant of any Benefit under the Plan and which sets forth the Benefit and the terms, conditions and provisions of, and restrictions relating to, such Benefit.

2.1.3. Benefit.

Any benefit granted to a Participant under the Plan.

2.1.4. Board.

The Board of Directors of the Company.

2.1.5. Cash Award.

A Benefit payable in the form of cash.

 

 

 

2.1.6. Change of Control.

The occurrence of any of the following:

(a) An acquisition of any Common Stock or other voting securities of the Company entitled to
vote generally for the election of directors (the “Voting Securities”) by any “Person” or “Group”
(as each such term is used for purposes of Section 13(d) or 14(d) of the Exchange Act), immediately
after which such Person or Group, as the case may be, has “Beneficial Ownership” (within the
meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of more than 20% of the then outstanding
shares of Common Stock or the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding Voting
Securities; provided, however, that in determining whether a Change of Control has occurred, shares
of Common Stock or Voting Securities that are acquired in a Non-Control Acquisition (as defined
below) shall not constitute an acquisition which would cause a Change of Control. A “Non-Control
Acquisition” shall mean an acquisition by (i) the Company, (ii) any Subsidiary or (iii) any
employee benefit plan maintained by the Company or any Subsidiary, including a trust forming part
of any such plan (an “Employee Benefit Plan”);

(b) When, during any 2-year period, individuals who, at the beginning of the 2-year period,
constitute the Board (the “Incumbent Board”), cease for any reason to constitute at least 50% of
the members of the Board; provided, however, that (i) if the election or nomination for election by
the Company’s shareholders of any new director was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the
Incumbent Board, such new director shall, for purposes hereof, be deemed to be a member of the
Incumbent Board; and (ii) no individual shall be deemed to be a member of the Incumbent Board if
such individual initially assumed office as a result of either an actual or threatened “Election
Contest” (as described in Rule 14a-11 promulgated under the Exchange Act) or other actual or
threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of a Person or Group other than the
Board (a “Proxy Contest”) including by reason of any agreement intended to avoid or settle any
Election Contest or Proxy Contest;

(c) The consummation of:

(i) a merger, consolidation or reorganization involving the Company or any Subsidiary,
unless the merger, consolidation or reorganization is a Non-Control Transaction. A
“Non-Control Transaction” shall mean a merger, consolidation or reorganization of the
Company or any Subsidiary where:

(A) the shareholders of the Company immediately prior to the merger,
consolidation or reorganization own, directly or indirectly, immediately following
such merger, consolidation or reorganization, at least 50% of the combined voting
power of the outstanding voting securities of the corporation resulting from such
merger, consolidation or reorganization (the “Surviving Corporation”) in
substantially the same proportion as their ownership of the Common Stock or Voting
Securities, as the case maybe, immediately prior to the merger, consolidation or
reorganization,

 

2

 

(B) the individuals who were members of the Incumbent Board immediately prior
to the execution of the agreement providing for the merger, consolidation or
reorganization constitute at least two-thirds of the members of the board of
directors of the Surviving Corporation, or a corporation beneficially owning,
directly or indirectly, a majority of the voting securities of the Surviving
Corporation, and

(C) no Person or Group, other than (1) the Company, (2) any Subsidiary, (3) any
Employee Benefit Plan or (4) any other Person or Group who, immediately prior to the
merger, consolidation or reorganization, had Beneficial Ownership of not less than
20% of the then outstanding Voting Securities or Common Stock, has Beneficial
Ownership of 20% or more of the combined voting power of the Surviving Corporation’s
then outstanding voting securities or common stock;

(ii) a complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company; or

(iii) the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the
Company to any Person (other than a transfer to a Subsidiary).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Change of Control shall not be deemed to have occurred solely
because any Person or Group (the “Subject Person”) acquired Beneficial Ownership of more than the
permitted amount of the then outstanding Voting Securities or Common Stock of the Company as a
result of an acquisition of Voting Securities or Common Stock by the Company which, by reducing the
number of shares of Voting Securities or Common Stock then outstanding, increases the proportional
number of shares beneficially owned by the Subject Person; provided, however, that if a Change of
Control would have occurred (but for the operation of this sentence) as a result of the acquisition
of Voting Securities or Common Stock by the Company, and after such acquisition by the Company, the
Subject Person becomes the beneficial owner of any additional shares of Voting Securities or Common
Stock, which increases the percentage of the then outstanding shares of Voting Securities or Common
Stock beneficially owned by the Subject Person, then a Change of Control shall be deemed to have
occurred. In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, the acquisition or ownership of any Common
Stock or Voting Securities by Applied Digital Solutions, Inc. and its Affiliates (determined as if
it was the Company) shall not cause or result in a Change of Control.

the OTC Bulletin Board on a given date, or, in the absence of sales on a given date, the
closing price on the OTC Bulletin Board on the last day on which a sale of Shares on the OTC

(ii) If the Shares are listed on any established stock exchange or a national market

exchange (or the exchange with the greatest volume of trading in Shares) on the date of
determination, as reported in The Wall Street Journal or such other source as the Committee
deems reliable.

(k) determine, except to the extent otherwise provided in the Plan, whether and the extent to
which Benefits under the Plan will be structured to conform to the requirements
applicable to
Performance-Based Compensation, and to take such action, establish such procedures, and impose such
restrictions at the time such Benefits are granted as the Committee determines to be necessary or
appropriate to conform to such requirements; and

(l) do and perform all acts which it may deem necessary or appropriate for the administration
of the Plan and carry out the purposes of the Plan.

(a) in a manner which would cause Options which are intended to qualify as ISOs to fail to
qualify;

(b) in a manner which would cause the Plan to fail to meet the requirements of Rule 16b-3; or

(c) in a manner which would violate applicable law.

7. TERM AND TERMINATION

to the provisions of Section 8.2, the amendment or termination of the Plan shall not
adversely affect a Participant’s right to any Benefit granted prior to such amendment or
termination.

8.2. Committee’s Right.

Any Benefit granted may be converted, modified, forfeited or canceled, in whole or in part, by
the Committee if and to the extent permitted in the Plan or applicable Agreement or with the
consent of the Participant to whom such Benefit was granted. Except as may be provided in an
Agreement, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, in whole or in part, waive any restrictions
or conditions applicable to, or accelerate the vesting of, any Benefit.

9. CHANGE OF CONTROL

10. AGREEMENTS AND CERTAIN BENEFITS

10.1. Grant Evidenced by Agreement.

The grant of any Benefit under the Plan may be evidenced by an Agreement which shall describe
the specific Benefit granted and the terms and conditions of the Benefit. The granting of any
Benefit shall be subject to, and conditioned upon, the recipient’s execution of any Agreement
required by the Committee. Except as otherwise provided in an Agreement, all capitalized terms
used in the Agreement shall have the same meaning as in the Plan, and the Agreement shall be
subject to all of the terms of the Plan.

10.2. Provisions of Agreement.

Each Agreement shall contain such provisions that the Committee shall determine to be
necessary, desirable and appropriate for the Benefit granted which may include, but not necessarily
be limited to, the following with respect to any Benefit: description of the type of Benefit; the
Benefit’s duration; its transferability; if an Option, the exercise price, the exercise period and
the person or persons who may exercise the Option; the effect upon such Benefit of the
Participant’s death, disability, changes of duties or termination of employment; the Benefit’s
conditions; when, if, and how any Benefit may be forfeited, converted into another Benefit,
modified, exchanged for another Benefit, or replaced; and the restrictions on any Shares purchased
or granted under the Plan.

10.3. Transferability.

Unless otherwise specified in an Agreement or permitted by the Committee, each Benefit granted
shall be not transferable other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution and shall be
exercisable during a Participant’s lifetime only by him.

The Committee may permit a Participant to elect to surrender a Benefit in exchange for a new

11

 

12. PAYMENT AND WITHHOLDING

12.1. Payment.

Upon the exercise of an Option or in the case of any other Benefit that requires a payment by
a Participant to the Company, the amount due the Company is to be paid:

(a) in cash, including by means of a so-called “cashless exercise” of an Option;

(b) by the surrender of all or part of a Benefit (including the Benefit being exercised);

(c) by the tender to the Company of Shares owned by the optionee and registered in his name
having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount due to the Company;

(d) in other property, rights and credits deemed acceptable by the Committee, including the
Participant’s promissory note;

(e) by any combination of the payment methods specified in (a), (b), (c) and (d) above.

Notwithstanding, the foregoing, any method of payment other than (a) may be used only with the
consent of the Committee or if and to the extent so provided in an Agreement. The proceeds of the
sale of Shares purchased pursuant to an Option and any payment to the Company for other Benefits
shall be added to the general funds of the Company or to the Shares held in treasury, as the case
may be, and used for the corporate purposes of the Company as the Board shall determine.

12.2. Dividend Equivalents.

Grants of Benefits in Shares or Share equivalents may include dividend equivalent payments or
dividend credit rights.

12.3. Withholding.

The Company may, at the time any distribution is made under the Plan, whether in cash or in
Shares, or at the time any Option is exercised, withhold from such distribution or Shares issuable
upon the exercise of an Option, any amount necessary to satisfy federal, state and local income
and/or other tax withholding requirements with respect to such distribution or exercise of such
Options. The Committee or the Company may require a participant to tender to the Company cash
and/or Shares in the amount necessary to comply with any such withholding requirements.

 

12

 

13. OPTIONS

13.1. Types of Options.

It is intended that both ISOs and NQSOs, which may be Reload Options, may be granted by the
Committee under the Plan.

13.2. Grant of ISOs and Option Price.

Each ISO must be granted to an Employee and granted within ten years from the earlier of the
date of adoption by the Board or the Effective Date. The purchase price for Shares under any ISO
shall be no less than the Fair Market Value of the Shares at the time the Option is granted.

13.3. Other Requirements for ISOs.

The terms of each Option which is intended to qualify as an ISO shall meet all requirements of
Section 422 of the Code.

13.4. NQSOs.

Except
as otherwise provided in Section 13.2 through Section 13.4, the terms of all Options shall be
determined by the Committee.

The Committee may grant SARs in tandem with an Option, in which case: the exercise of the
Option shall cause a correlative reduction in SARs standing to a Participant’s credit which were
granted in tandem with the Option; and the payment of SARs shall cause a correlative reduction of
the Shares under such Option.

14.3. ISO Tandem Award.

When SARs are granted in tandem with an ISO, the SARs shall have such terms and conditions as
shall be required for the ISO to qualify as an ISO.

14.4. Payment of Award.

SARs shall be paid by the Company to a Participant, to the extent payment is elected by the
Participant (and is otherwise due and payable), as soon as practicable after the date on which such
election is made.

15. ANNUAL LIMITATIONS

15.1. Limitation on Options and SARs.

Market Value of the Shares on the date of grant plus (b) SARs which may be granted to any
Participant in any Fiscal Year shall not exceed $1,250,000.

15.2. Computations.

For purposes of Section 15.1: Shares covered by an Option that is canceled shall count against
the maximum, and, if the exercise price under an Option is reduced, the transaction shall be
treated as a cancellation of the Option and a grant of a new Option; and SARs covered by a grant of
SARs that is canceled shall count against the maximum, and, if the Fair Market Value of a Share on
which the appreciation under a grant of SARs will be calculated is reduced, the transaction will be
treated as a cancellation of the SARs and the grant of a new grant of SARs.

16. RESTRICTED STOCK AND PERFORMANCE SHARES

16.1. Restricted Stock.

The
Committee may grant Benefits in Shares available under Section 3 of the Plan as Restricted
Stock. Shares of Restricted Stock shall be issued and delivered at the time of the grant or as

in the applicable Agreement or the Plan. Each certificate representing Shares of Restricted Stock
shall bear a legend referring to the Plan and the risk of forfeiture of the Shares and stating that
such Shares are nontransferable until all restrictions have been satisfied and the legend has been
removed. At the discretion of the Committee, the grantee may or may not be entitled to full voting

receive Shares or cash equal to the Fair Market Value of such Shares at a future date in accordance
with the terms and conditions of such grant. The terms and conditions shall be determined by the
Committee, in its sole discretion, but generally are expected to be based substantially upon the
attainment of targeted profit and/or performance objectives.

The Committee may grant an award of Performance Shares. The number of Performance Shares and
the terms and conditions of the grant shall be set forth in the applicable Agreement.

15

 

19. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

19.1. Underscored References.

The underscored references contained in the Plan are included only for convenience, and they
shall not be construed as a part of the Plan or in any respect affecting or modifying its
provisions.

19.2. Number and Gender.

The masculine and neuter, wherever used in the Plan, shall refer to either the masculine,
neuter or feminine; and, unless the context otherwise requires, the singular shall include the

19.3. Unfunded Status of Plan.

The Plan is intended to constitute an “unfunded” plan for incentive and deferred compensation.
With respect to any payments or deliveries of Shares not yet made to a Participant by the Company,
nothing contained herein shall give any rights that are greater than those of a general creditor of
the Company. The Committee may authorize the creation of trusts or other arrangements to meet the
obligations created under the Plan to deliver Shares or payments hereunder consistent with the
foregoing.

19.4. Termination of Employment.

If the employment of a Participant by the Company terminates for any reason, except as
otherwise provided in an Agreement, all unexercised, deferred, and unpaid Benefits may be
exercisable or paid only in accordance with rules established by the Committee. These rules may
provide, as the Committee may deem appropriate, for the expiration, forfeiture, continuation, or
acceleration of the vesting of all or part of the Benefits.

19.5. Designation of Beneficiary.

A Participant may file with the Committee a written designation of a beneficiary or
beneficiaries (subject to such limitations as to the classes and number of beneficiaries and
contingent beneficiaries as the Committee may from time to time prescribe) to exercise, in the
event of the death of the Participant, an Option, or to receive, in such event, any Benefits. The
Committee reserves the right to review and approve beneficiary designations. A Participant may
from time to time revoke or change any such designation of beneficiary and any designation of
beneficiary under the Plan shall be controlling over any other disposition, testamentary or
otherwise; provided, however, that if the Committee shall be in doubt as to the right of any such
beneficiary to exercise any Option or to receive any Benefit, the Committee may determine to
recognize only an exercise by the legal representative of the recipient, in which case the Company,
the Committee and the members thereof shall not be under any further liability to anyone.

 

16

 

19.6. Governing Law.

This Plan shall be construed and administered in accordance with the laws of the State of
Delaware.

19.7. Purchase for Investment.

under the Plan to represent to and agree with the Company in writing that such person is acquiring
the Shares for investment and without a view to distribution or resale. The certificates for such
Shares may include any legend which the Committee deems appropriate to reflect any restrictions on
transfer. All certificates for Shares delivered under the Plan shall be subject to such
stock-transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee may deem advisable under all
applicable laws, rules and regulations, and the Committee may cause a legend or legends to be put
on any such certificates to make appropriate references to such restrictions.

19.8. No Employment Contract.

Neither the adoption of the Plan nor any Benefit granted hereunder shall confer upon any
Employee any right to continued employment nor shall the Plan or any Benefit interfere in any way
with the right of the Employer to terminate the employment of any of its Employees at any time.

19.9. No Effect on Other Benefits.

The receipt of Benefits under the Plan shall have no effect on any benefits to which a
Participant may be entitled from the Employer, under another plan or otherwise, or preclude a
Participant from receiving any such benefits.
