 2005 STOCK OPTION PLAN 
  

 1. Purpose. The purpose of this Plan is to advance the interests of Coach Industries Group, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”),
by providing an additional incentive to attract, retain and motivate highly qualified and competent persons who are key to the Company, including key employees, consultants, independent contractors, Officers and Directors, and upon whose efforts and
judgment the success of the Company and its Subsidiaries is largely dependent, by authorizing the grant of options to purchase Common Stock of the Company and other related benefits to persons who are eligible to participate hereunder, thereby
encouraging stock ownership in the Company by such persons, all upon and subject to the terms and conditions of this Plan. 
 2.
Definitions. As used herein, the following terms shall have the meanings indicated: 
 (a) “Board” shall mean the Board of
Directors of the Company. 
 (b) “Cause” shall mean any of the following: 
 (i) a determination by the Company that there has been a willful, reckless or grossly negligent failure by the Optionee to perform his or her duties as
an employee of the Company; 
 (ii) a determination by the Company that there has been a willful breach by the Optionee of any of the
material terms or provisions of any employment agreement between such Optionee and the Company; 
 (iii) any conduct by the Optionee that
either results in his or her conviction of a felony under the laws of the United States of America or any state thereof, or of an equivalent crime under the laws of any other jurisdiction; 
 (iv) a determination by the Company that the Optionee has committed an act or acts involving fraud, embezzlement, misappropriation, theft, breach of
fiduciary duty or material dishonesty against the Company, its properties or personnel; 
 (v) any act by the Optionee that the Company
determines to be in willful or wanton disregard of the Company’s best interests, or which results, or is intended to result, directly or indirectly, in improper gain or personal enrichment of the Optionee at the expense of the Company;

 (vi) a determination by the Company that there has been a willful, reckless or grossly negligent failure
by the Optionee to comply with any rules, regulations, policies or procedures of the Company, or that the Optionee has engaged in any act, behavior or conduct demonstrating a deliberate and material violation or disregard of standards of behavior
that the Company has a right to expect of its employees; or 
 (vii) if the Optionee, while employed by the Company and for two years
thereafter, violates a confidentiality and/or noncompete agreement with the Company, or fails to safeguard, divulges, communicates, uses to the detriment of the Company or for the benefit of any person or persons, or misuses in any way, any
Confidential Information; provided, however, that, if the Optionee has entered into a written employment agreement with the Company which remains effective and which expressly provides for a termination of such Optionee’s employment for
“cause,” the term “Cause” as used herein shall have the meaning as set forth in the Optionee’s employment agreement in lieu of the definition of “Cause” set forth in this Section 2(b). 
 (c) “Change of Control” shall mean the acquisition by any person or group (as that term is defined in the Exchange Act, and the rules
promulgated pursuant to that act) in a single transaction or a series of transactions of thirty percent (30%) or more in voting power of the outstanding stock of the Company and a change of the composition of the Board of Directors so that,
within two years after the acquisition took place, a majority of the members of the Board of Directors of the Company, or of any corporation with which the Company may be consolidated or merged, are persons who were not directors or officers of the
Company or one of its Subsidiaries immediately prior to the acquisition, or to the first of a series of transactions which resulted in the acquisition of thirty percent (30%) or more in voting power of the outstanding stock of the Company.

“Closing Price” of the Common Stock on any business day shall be (i) if the Common Stock is listed or admitted for trading on any United States national securities exchange, or if actual transactions are otherwise reported on a
consolidated transaction reporting system, the last reported sale price of the Common Stock on such exchange or reporting system, as reported in any newspaper of general circulation, (ii) if the Common Stock is quoted on The Nasdaq Stock Market

asked quotations for the Common Stock on at least five of the 10 preceding days. If the information set forth in clauses (i) through (iii) above is unavailable or inapplicable to the Company (e.g., if the Company’s Common Stock is not
then publicly traded or quoted), then the “Fair Market Value” of a Share shall be the fair market value (i.e., the price at which a willing seller would sell a Share to a willing buyer when neither is acting under compulsion and when both
have reasonable knowledge of all relevant facts) of a share of the Common Stock on the business day immediately preceding such date as the Committee in its sole and absolute discretion shall determine in a fair and uniform manner. 
 (k) “Incentive Stock Option” shall mean an incentive stock option as defined in Section 422 of the Code. 
 (l) “Non-Statutory Stock Option” or “Nonqualified Stock Option” shall mean an Option which is not an Incentive Stock Option.

function, or any other person who performs similar policy-making functions for the Company. Officers of Subsidiaries shall be deemed Officers of the Company if they perform such policy-making functions for the Company. As used in this paragraph, the
phrase “policy-making function” does not include policy-making functions that are not significant. Unless specified otherwise in a resolution by the Board, an “executive officer” pursuant to Item 401(b) of Regulation S-K (17
C.F.R. § 229.401(b)) shall be only such person designated as an “Officer” pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this paragraph. 
 (n) “Option” (when capitalized) shall mean any stock option granted under this Plan.

upon approval by the Board, subject to approval, within 12 months of the date thereof by holders of a majority of the Company’s issued and outstanding Common Stock of the Company. 
 (q) “Share” or “Shares” shall mean a share or shares, as the case may be, of the Common Stock, as adjusted in accordance with
Section 10 of this Plan. 
 (r) “Subsidiary” shall mean any corporation (other than the Company) in any unbroken chain of
corporations beginning with the Company if, at the time of the granting of the Option, each of the corporations other than the last corporation in the unbroken chain owns stock possessing 50 percent or more of the total combined voting power of all
classes of stock in one of the other corporations in such chain. 
 3. Shares and Options. Subject to adjustment in accordance with
Section 10 hereof, the Company may issue up to three million (3,000,000) Shares from Shares held in the Company’s treasury or from authorized and unissued Shares through the exercise of Options issued pursuant to the provisions of
this Plan. If any Option granted under this Plan shall terminate, expire, or be canceled, forfeited or surrendered as to any Shares, the Shares relating to such lapsed Option shall be available for issuance pursuant to new Options subsequently
granted under this Plan. Upon the grant of any Option hereunder, the authorized and unissued Shares to which such Option relates shall be reserved for issuance to permit exercise under this Plan. Subject to the provisions of Section 14 hereof,
an Option granted hereunder shall be either an Incentive Stock Option or a Non-Statutory Stock Option as determined by the Committee at the time of grant of such Option and shall clearly state whether it is an Incentive Stock Option or Non-Statutory
Stock Option. All Incentive Stock Options shall be granted within 10 years from the effective date of this Plan. 
 4. Limitations.
Options otherwise qualifying as Incentive Stock Options hereunder will not be treated as Incentive Stock Options to the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined at the time the Option is granted) of the Shares, with respect to which
Options meeting the requirements of Code Section 422(b) are exercisable for the first time by any individual during any calendar year (under all stock option or similar plans of the Company and any Subsidiary), exceeds $100,000. 
 5. Conditions for Grant of Options. 
 (a) Each Option shall be evidenced by an option agreement that may contain any term deemed necessary or desirable by the Committee, provided such terms are not inconsistent with this Plan or any applicable law. Optionees shall be those
persons selected by the Committee from the class of all regular Employees of the Company or its Subsidiaries, including Employee Directors and Officers who are regular or former regular employees of the Company, Directors who are not regular
employees of the Company, as well as consultants to the Company. Any person who files with the Committee, in a form satisfactory to the Committee, a written waiver of eligibility to receive any Option under this Plan shall not be eligible to receive
any Option under this Plan for the duration of such waiver. 
  

 4 

 (b) In granting Options, the Committee shall take into consideration the contribution the person has
made, or is expected to make, to the success of the Company or its Subsidiaries and such other factors as the Committee shall determine. The Committee shall also have the authority to consult with and receive recommendations from Officers and other
personnel of the Company and its Subsidiaries with regard to these matters. The Committee may from time to time in granting Options under this Plan prescribe such terms and conditions concerning such Options as it deems appropriate, provided that
such terms and conditions are not more favorable to an Optionee than those expressly permitted herein; provided further, however, that to the extent not cancelled pursuant to Section 9(b) hereof, upon a Change in Control, any Options that have
not yet vested, may, in the sole discretion of the Committee, vest upon such Change in Control. 
 (c) The Options granted to employees under
this Plan shall be in addition to regular salaries, pension, life insurance or other benefits related to their employment with the Company or its Subsidiaries. Neither this Plan nor any Option granted under this Plan shall confer upon any person any
right to employment or continuance of employment (or related salary and benefits) by the Company or its Subsidiaries. 
 6. Exercise
Price. The exercise price per Share of any Option shall be any price determined by the Committee but in no event shall the exercise price per Share of any Option be less than the Fair Market Value of the Shares underlying such Option on the date
such Option is granted and, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to a 10% stockholder, the per Share exercise price will not be less than 110% of the Fair Market Value. Re-granted Options, or Options which are canceled and then
re-granted covering such canceled Options, will, for purposes of this Section 6, be deemed to have been granted on the date of the re-granting. 
 7. Exercise of Options. 
 (a) An Option shall be deemed exercised when (i) the Company has
received written notice of such exercise in accordance with the terms of the Option, (ii) full payment of the aggregate option price of the Shares as to which the Option is exercised has been made, (iii) the Optionee has agreed to be bound
by the terms, provisions and conditions of any applicable stockholders’ agreement, and (iv) arrangements that are satisfactory to the Committee in its sole discretion have been made for the Optionee’s payment to the Company of the
amount that is necessary for the Company or the Subsidiary employing the Optionee to withhold in accordance with applicable Federal or state tax withholding requirements. Unless further limited by the Committee in any Option, the exercise price of
any Shares purchased pursuant to the exercise of such Option shall be paid in cash, by certified or official bank check, by money order, with Shares or by a combination of the above; provided, however, that the Committee in its sole discretion may
accept a personal check in full or partial payment of any Shares. The Company in its sole discretion may, on an individual basis or pursuant to a general program established by the Committee in connection with this Plan, lend money to an Optionee to
exercise all or a portion of the Option granted hereunder. If the exercise price is paid in whole or part with the Optionee’s promissory note, such note shall (i) provide for full recourse to the maker, (ii) be collateralized by the
pledge of the Shares that the Optionee purchases upon exercise of such 
  

 5 

 Option, (iii) bear interest at a rate no less than the rate of interest payable by the Company to its principal
lender, and (iv) contain such other terms as the Committee in its sole discretion shall require. 
 (b) No Optionee shall be deemed to
be a holder of any Shares subject to an Option unless and until a stock certificate or certificates for such Shares are issued to such person(s) under the terms of this Plan. 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 date such stock certificate is issued, except as expressly provided in Section 10 hereof. 
 (c) Any Option may, in the discretion of the Committee, be exercised pursuant to a “cashless” or “net issue” exercise. In lieu of
exercising the Option as specified in subsection (a) above, the Optionee may pay in whole or in part with Shares, the number of which shall be determined by dividing (a) the aggregate Fair Value of such Shares otherwise issuable upon
exercise of the Option minus the aggregate Exercise Price of such Option by (b) the Fair Value of one such Share, or the Optionee may pay in whole or in part through a reduction in the number of Shares received through the exercise of the
Option equal to the quotient of the (a) aggregate Fair Value of all the Shares issuable upon exercise of the Option minus the aggregate Exercise Price of such Option (b) divided by the Fair Value of one such share. If the exercise price is
paid in whole or in part with Shares, the value of the Shares surrendered shall be their Fair Market Value on the date the Option is exercised. 
 8. Exercisability of Options. Any Option shall become exercisable in such amounts, at such intervals, upon such events or occurrences and upon such other terms and conditions as shall be provided in an individual Option agreement
evidencing such Option, except as otherwise provided in Section 5(b) or this Section 8. 
 (a) The expiration date(s) of an Option
shall be determined by the Committee at the time of grant, but in no event shall an Option be exercisable after the expiration of 10 years from the date of grant of the Option. 
 (b) Unless otherwise expressly provided in any Option as approved by the Committee, notwithstanding the exercise schedule set forth in any Option, each
outstanding Option, may, in the sole discretion of the Committee, become fully exercisable upon the date of the occurrence of any Change of Control, but, unless otherwise expressly provided in any Option, no earlier than six months after the date of
grant, and if and only if Optionee is in the employ of the Company on such date. 
 (c) The Committee may in its sole discretion accelerate
the date on which any Option may be exercised and may accelerate the vesting of any Shares subject to any Option or previously acquired by the exercise of any Option. 
  

 6 

 9. Termination of Option Period. 
 (a) Unless otherwise expressly provided in any Option, the unexercised portion of any Option shall automatically and without notice immediately terminate
and become forfeited, null and void at the time of the earliest to occur of the following: 
 (i) three months after the date on which the
Optionee’s employment is terminated for any reason other than by reason of (A) Cause, (B) the termination of the Optionee’s employment with the Company by such Optionee following less than 60 days’ prior written notice to
the Company of such termination (an “Improper Termination”), (C) a mental or physical disability (within the meaning of Section 22(e) of the Code) as determined by a medical doctor satisfactory to the Committee, or
(D) death; 
 (ii) immediately upon (A) the termination by the Company of the Optionee’s employment for Cause, or (B) an
Improper Termination; 
 (iii) one year after the date on which the Optionee’s employment is terminated by reason of a mental or
physical disability (within the meaning of Code Section 22(e)) as determined by a medical doctor satisfactory to the Committee or the later of three months after the date on which the Optionee shall die if such death shall occur during the
one-year period specified herein; or 
 (iv) the later of (a) one year after the date of termination of the Optionee’s employment
by reason of death of the employee, or (b) three months after the date on which the Optionee shall die if such death shall occur during the one year period specified in Subsection 9(a)(iii) hereof. 
 (b) The Committee in its sole discretion may, by giving written notice (“cancellation notice”), cancel effective upon the date of the
consummation of any corporate transaction described in Subsection 10(d) hereof, any Option that remains unexercised on such date. Such cancellation notice shall be given a reasonable period of time prior to the proposed date of such cancellation and
may be given either before or after approval of such corporate transaction. 
 (c) Upon termination of Optionee’s employment as
described in this Section 9, or otherwise, any Option (or portion thereof) not previously vested or not yet exercisable pursuant to Section 8 of this Plan or the vesting schedule set forth in such Option shall be immediately canceled.

 10. Adjustment of Shares. 
 (a) If at any time while this Plan is in effect or unexercised Options are outstanding, there shall be any increase or decrease in the number of issued and outstanding Shares through the declaration of a stock dividend or through any
recapitalization resulting in a stock split, combination or exchange of Shares (other than any such exchange or issuance of 
  

 7 

 Shares through which Shares are issued to effect an acquisition of another business or entity or the Company’s
purchase of Shares to exercise a “call” purchase option), then and in such event: 
 (i) appropriate adjustment shall be made in
the maximum number of Shares available for grant under this Plan, so that the same percentage of the Company’s issued and outstanding Shares shall continue to be subject to being so optioned; 
 (ii) appropriate adjustment shall be made in the number of Shares and the exercise price per Share thereof then subject to any outstanding Option, so
that the same percentage of the Company’s issued and outstanding Shares shall remain subject to purchase at the same aggregate exercise price; and 
 (iii) such adjustments shall be made by the Committee, whose determination in that respect shall be final, binding and conclusive. 
 (b) Subject to the specific terms of any Option, the Committee may change the terms of Options outstanding under this Plan, with respect to the option price or the number of Shares subject to the Options, or both,
when, in the Committee’s sole discretion, such adjustments become appropriate by reason of a corporate transaction described in Subsection 10(d) hereof, or otherwise. 
 (c) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the issuance by the Company of shares of its capital stock of any class, or securities convertible
into or exchangeable for shares of its capital stock of any class, either in connection with a direct or underwritten sale, or upon the exercise of rights or warrants to subscribe therefor or purchase such Shares, or upon conversion of obligations
of the Company into such Shares or other securities, shall not affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number of or exercise price of Shares then subject to outstanding Options granted under this Plan.

 (d) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the existence of outstanding Options granted under this Plan shall not affect in any
manner the right or power of the Company to make, authorize or consummate (i) any or all adjustments, reclassifications, recapitalizations, reorganizations or other changes in the Company’s capital structure or its business; (ii) any
merger or consolidation of the Company or to which the Company is a party; (iii) any issuance by the Company of debt securities, or preferred or preference stock that would rank senior to or above the Shares subject to outstanding Options;
(iv) any purchase or issuance by the Company of Shares or other classes of common stock or common equity securities; (v) the dissolution or liquidation of the Company; (vi) any sale, transfer, encumbrance, pledge or assignment of all
or any part of the assets or business of the Company; or (vii) any other corporate act or proceeding, whether of a similar character or otherwise. 
 (e) The Optionee shall receive written notice within a reasonable time prior to the consummation of such action advising the Optionee of any of the foregoing. The Committee may, in the exercise of its sole discretion,
in such instances declare that any Option shall terminate as of a date fixed by the Board and give each Optionee the right to exercise his or her Option. 
  

 8 

 11. Transferability. No Option or stock appreciation right granted hereunder shall be sold,
pledged, assigned, hypothecated, disposed or otherwise transferred by the Optionee other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, unless otherwise authorized by the Board, and no Option or stock appreciation right shall be exercisable
during the Optionee’s lifetime by any person other than the Optionee. 
 12. Issuance of Shares. As a condition of any sale or
issuance of Shares upon exercise of any Option, the Committee may require such agreements or undertakings, if any, as the Committee may deem necessary or advisable to assure compliance with any such law or regulation including, but not limited to,
the following: 
 (i) a representation and warranty by the Optionee to the Company, at the time any Option is exercised, that he is acquiring
the Shares to be issued to him for investment and not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, the distribution of any such Shares; and 
 (ii) an agreement and undertaking to comply with all of the terms, restrictions and provisions set forth in any then applicable stockholders’ agreement relating to the Shares, including, without limitation, any restrictions on
transferability, any rights of first refusal and any option of the Company to “call” or purchase such Shares under then applicable agreements, and 
 (iii) any restrictive legend or legends, to be embossed or imprinted on Share certificates, that are, in the discretion of the Committee, necessary or appropriate to comply with the provisions of any securities law or
other restriction applicable to the issuance of the Shares. 
 13. Stock Appreciation Rights. The Committee may grant stock
appreciation rights to Employees, either or tandem with Options that have been or are granted under the Plan or with respect to a number of Shares on which an Option is not granted. A stock appreciation right shall entitle the holder to receive,
with respect to each Share as to which the right is exercised, payment in an amount equal to the excess of the Share’s Fair Market Value on the date the right is exercised over its Fair Market Value on the date the right was granted. Such
payment may be made in cash or in Shares valued at the Fair Market Value as of the date of surrender, or partly in cash and partly in Shares, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion. The Committee may establish a maximum appreciation
value payable for stock appreciation rights. 
 14. Restricted Stock Awards. The Committee may grant restricted stock awards under the
Plan in Shares or denominated in units of Shares. The Committee, in its sole discretion, may make such awards subject to conditions and restrictions, as set forth in the instrument evidencing the award, which may be based on continuous service with
the Company or the attainment of certain performance goals related to profits, profit growth, cash-flow or shareholder returns, where such goals may be stated in absolute terms or relative to comparison companies or indices to be achieved during a
period of time. 
  

 9 

 15. Administration of this Plan. 
 (a) This Plan shall be administered by the Committee, which shall consist of not less than two Directors. The Committee shall have all of the powers of
the Board with respect to this Plan. Any member of the Committee may be removed at any time, with or without cause, by resolution of the Board and any vacancy occurring in the membership of the Committee may be filled by appointment by the Board.

or accelerate the exercise date of any Option, and (vii) make all other determinations deemed necessary or advisable for the administration of this Plan, including re-pricing, canceling and regranting Options. 
 (c) The Committee, from time to time, may adopt rules and regulations for carrying out the purposes of this Plan. The Committee’s determinations and
its interpretation and construction of any provision of this Plan shall be final, conclusive and binding upon all Optionees and any holders of any Options granted under this Plan.

 16. Incentive Options for 10% Stockholders. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Plan to the contrary, an Incentive Stock Option shall not
be granted to any person owning directly or indirectly (through attribution under Section 424(d) of the Code) at the date of grant, stock possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company (or of
its Subsidiary) at the date of grant unless the exercise price of such Option is at least 110% of the Fair Market Value of the Shares subject to such Option on the date the Option is granted, and such Option by its terms is not exercisable after the
expiration of 10 years from the date such Option is granted. 
 17. Interpretation. 
 (a) This Plan shall be administered and interpreted so that all Incentive Stock Options granted under this Plan will qualify as Incentive Stock Options
under Section 422 of the Code. If any provision of this Plan should be held invalid for the granting of Incentive Stock Options or illegal for any reason, such determination shall not affect the remaining provisions hereof, and this Plan shall
be construed and enforced as if such provision had never been included in this Plan.
