Item 4. Description of Securities.

The class of securities to be offered is registered under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act; however, references to the Company's currently authorized securities are dispersed among several documents.  Moreover, as described below, the Company and the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock have authorized an amendment to the certificate of incorporation to increase the number of shares of common stock the Company is authorized to issue.

The following description of our capital stock summarizes the material terms and provisions of the indicated securities.  For the complete terms of our common stock, please refer to our certificate of incorporation and bylaws that we have filed with the SEC.  The terms of these securities may also be affected by the Nevada Revised Statutes.


General


We are authorized to issue 75,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share ("Common Stock") of which 16,045,000 shares have been issued.  


 



Common Stock


The holders of our common stock:


 

 

 

 

1.

Have equal ratable rights to dividends from funds legally available therefore, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors;

 

2.

Are entitled to share ratably in all of assets available for distribution to holders of common stock upon liquidation, dissolution, or otherwise winding up of corporate affairs;

 

 

 

 

3.

Do not have preemptive, subscription or conversion rights and there are no redemption or sinking fund provisions or rights; and

 

4.

Are entitled to one vote per share on all matters on which stockholders may vote.


Common Stock


The Company has issued 16,045,000 shares of common stock to date held by 35 shareholders of record.


All shares of common stock now outstanding are fully paid for and non-assessable and all shares of common stock which are the subject of this offering, when issued, will be validly issued, fully paid for, non-assessable and free of preemptive rights.


Preemptive Rights


No holder of any shares of Labor Smart Inc’s stock has preemptive or preferential rights to acquire or subscribe to any unissued shares of any class of stock or any unauthorized securities convertible into or carrying any right, option or warrant to subscribe for or acquire shares of any class of stock not disclosed herein.


Non-Cumulative Voting


Holders of the Company's common stock do not have cumulative voting rights, which means that the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding shares, voting for the election of directors, can elect all of the directors to be elected, if they so choose, and, in such event, the holders of the remaining shares will not be able to elect any directors.


Dividend Policy


As of the date of this Registration Statement, the Company has never declared nor paid any cash dividends to stockholders. The declaration of any future cash dividend will be at the discretion of the Board of Directors and will depend upon earnings, if any, capital requirements, our financial position, general economic conditions, and other factors deemed pertinent by the Board of Directors. The Company does not anticipate declaring any stock or cash dividends on our common and preferred (should any be issued) stock in the foreseeable future.


Item 5.  Interests of Named Experts and Counsel


Inapplicable.


Item 6.  Indemnification of Directors and Officers


The Company's Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws provide for the indemnification of any present or former director or officer. The Company indemnifies any director, officer, employee or agent who is successful on the merits or otherwise in defense on any action or suit. Such indemnification shall include, but not necessarily be limited to, expenses, including attorney's fees actually or reasonably incurred by him. Nevada law also provides for discretionary indemnification for each person who serves as or at our request as an officer or director. We may indemnify such individual against all costs, expenses and liabilities



incurred in a threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding brought because such individual is a director or officer. Such individual must have conducted himself in good faith and reasonably believed that his conduct was in, or not opposed to, our best interests. In a criminal action, he must not have had a reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.


Under our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the corporation, the Company may indemnify an officer or director who is made a party to any proceeding, including a lawsuit, because of his or her position, if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in the Company’s best interest. The Company may advance expenses incurred in defending a proceeding. To the extent that the officer or director is successful on the merits in a proceeding as to which he or she is to be indemnified, the Company must indemnify the officer or director against all expenses incurred, including attorney’s fees. With respect to a derivative action, indemnity may be made only for expenses actually and reasonably incurred in defending the proceeding, and if the officer or director is judged liable, then only by a court order. The indemnification coverage is intended to be to the fullest extent permitted by applicable laws.


Regarding indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, which may be permitted to officers or directors under applicable state law, the Company is informed that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, indemnification is against public policy, as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.


Item 7.  Exemption From Registration Claimed

Item 9.  Undertakings


The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:


(1)           To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:


(i)   To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;


(ii)  To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement;


(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;




provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-3 or Form S-8, and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.


(2)           That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.


(3)           To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.


The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.


 Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.


SIGNATURE


Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this registration statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in Atlanta, Georgia on July 9, 2012.

Gentlemen:

 

I have acted as legal counsel for Labor Smart, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), in connection with a Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the “Registration Statement”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), for the registration of 3,000,000 shares of Common Stock, $0.001 par value, of the Company (the “Shares”), which may be issued pursuant to the 2012 Stock Option Plan and associated stock option plan agreements and those certain board resolutions authorizing the issuance of shares of common stock to its employees and/or other contractual arrangements between the Company and third parties (collectively, the “Agreements”).


I have examined all instruments, documents and records which I deemed relevant and necessary for the basis of my opinion hereinafter expressed.  In such examination, I have assumed the genuineness of all signatures and the authenticity of all documents submitted to me as originals and the conformity to the originals of all documents submitted to me as copies.  I express no opinion concerning any law other than the corporation laws of the State of Delaware and the federal law of the United States.  As to matters of Delaware corporation law, I have based our opinion solely upon my examination of such laws and the rules and regulations of the authorities administering such laws, all as reported in standard, unofficial compilations.  


Based on such examination, I am of the opinion that the Shares issued pursuant to the Agreements are duly authorized and, when issued against receipt of the consideration therefor in accordance with the provisions of the Agreements, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. I am further of the opinion that the issuance of the Shares will not be a violation of any prohibitions of the rules and regulations pertaining to S-8.

I hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement referred to above and the use of my name wherever it appears in said Registration Statement.  In giving this consent, I do not admit that I am within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act, the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission promulgated thereunder or Item 509 of Regulation S-K.


This opinion letter is given to you solely for use in connection with the issuance of the Shares in accordance with the Registration Statement and is not to be relied on for any other purpose.  My opinion is expressly limited to the matters set forth above, and I render no opinion, whether by implication or otherwise, as to any other matters relating to the Company, the Shares or the Registration Statement.


Sincerely,

The Company may settle Options through the delivery of Common Shares, the granting of replacement Options or any combination thereof as the Plan Administrator shall determine.  Any Option settlement, including payment deferrals or payments deemed made by way of the settlement of pre-existing indebtedness from the Company, may be subject to such conditions, restrictions and contingencies as the Plan Administrator shall determine.  The Plan Administrator may permit or require the deferral of any Option payment, subject to such rules and procedures as it may establish, which may include provisions for the payment or crediting of interest, or dividend equivalents, including converting such credits into deferred stock equivalents.



ARTICLE 7. GRANTS OF OPTIONS


7.1

Grant of Options



- 5 -






The Plan Administrator shall have the authority, in its sole discretion, to grant Options as Incentive Stock Options or as Nonqualified Stock Options, which shall be appropriately designated.


7.2

Option Exercise Price


The exercise price for shares purchased under an Option shall be as determined by the Plan Administrator.


7.3

Term of Options


Subject to earlier termination in accordance with the terms of the Plan and the instrument evidencing the Option, the maximum term of an Option (the “Option Term”) shall be as established for that Option by the Plan Administrator or, if not so established, shall be ten years from the Grant Date.


7.4

Exercise of Options


The Plan Administrator shall establish and set forth in each instrument that evidences an Option the time at which, or the installments in which, the Option shall vest and become exercisable, any of which provisions may be waived or modified by the Plan Administrator at any time.


The Plan Administrator, in its sole discretion, may adjust the vesting schedule of an Option held by a Participant who works less than “full-time” as that term is defined by the Plan Administrator or who takes a Company-approved leave of absence.










To the extent an Option has vested and become exercisable, the Option may be exercised in whole or from time to time in part by delivery to the Company of a written stock option exercise agreement or notice, in a form and in accordance with procedures established by the Plan Administrator, setting forth the number of shares with respect to which the Option is being exercised, the restrictions imposed on the shares purchased under such exercise agreement, if any, and such representations and agreements as may be required by the Plan Administrator, accompanied by payment in full as described in Article 7.5 hereinbelow.  An Option may be exercised only for whole shares and may not be exercised for less than a reasonable number of shares at any one time, as determined by the Plan Administrator.


7.5

Payment of Exercise Price


The exercise price for shares purchased under an Option shall be paid in full to the Company by delivery of consideration equal to the product of the Option exercise price and the number of shares purchased.  Such consideration must be in accordance with the requirements of the Chapter 78 of the Nevada Revised Statutes and the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Company, must be paid before the



- 6 -





Company will issue the shares being purchased and must be in a form or a combination of forms acceptable to the Plan Administrator for that purchase.  As set forth in Article 6.2 hereinabove, any Option settlement, including payment deferrals or payments deemed made by way of the settlement of pre-existing indebtedness from the Company, may be subject to such conditions, restrictions and contingencies as the Plan Administrator shall determine.


7.6

Post-Termination Exercises


The Plan Administrator shall establish and set forth in each instrument that evidences an Option whether the Option shall continue to be exercisable, and the terms and conditions of such exercise, if the Participant ceases to be employed by, or to provide services to, the Company or a Related Company, which provisions may be waived or modified by the Plan Administrator at any time.  If not so established in the instrument evidencing the Option, the Option shall be exercisable according to the following terms and conditions, which may be waived or modified by the Plan Administrator at any time:


(a)

Except as otherwise set forth in this Article 7.6 hereinbelow, any portion of an Option that is not vested and exercisable on the Employment Termination Date shall expire on such date.


(b)

Any portion of an Option that is vested and exercisable on the Employment Termination Date shall expire on the earliest to occur of:


(i)

if the Participant’s Employment Termination Date occurs for reasons other than Cause, Retirement, Disability or death, the day which is three months after such Employment Termination Date;





(ii)

if the Participant’s Employment Termination Date occurs by reason of Retirement, Disability or death, the one-year anniversary of such Employment Termination Date; and


(iii)

the last day of the Option Term (the “Option Expiration Date”).


Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Participant dies after his or her Employment Termination Date but while an Option is otherwise exercisable, the portion of the Option that is vested and exercisable on such Employment Termination Date shall expire upon the earlier to occur of (c) the Option Expiration Date and (d) the one-year anniversary of the date of death, unless the Plan Administrator determines otherwise.


Also notwithstanding the foregoing, in case of termination of the Participant’s employment or service relationship for Cause, all Options granted to that Participant shall automatically expire upon first notification to the Participant of such termination, unless the Plan Administrator determines otherwise.  If a Participant’s employment or service relationship with the Company is suspended pending an investigation of whether the Participant shall be terminated for Cause, all the Participant’s rights under any Option shall likewise be suspended during the period of investigation.  If any facts that would constitute termination for Cause are discovered after the Participant’s relationship with the Company or a



- 7 -





Related Company has ended, any Option then held by the Participant may be immediately terminated by the Plan Administrator, in its sole discretion.


(c)

A Participant’s transfer of employment or service relationship between or among the Company and any Related Company, or a change in status from an employee to a consultant, agent, advisor or independent contractor or a change in status from a consultant, agent, advisor or independent contractor to an employee, shall not be considered a termination of employment or service relationship for purposes of this Article 7.  Unless the Plan Administrator determines otherwise, a termination of employment or service relationship shall be deemed to occur if a Participant’s employment or service relationship is with an entity that has ceased to be a Related Company.


(d)

The effect of a Company-approved leave of absence on the application of this Article 7 shall be determined by the Plan Administrator, in its sole discretion.


(e)

If a Participant’s employment or service relationship with the Company or a Related Company terminates by reason of Disability or death, the Option shall become fully vested and exercisable for all the shares subject to the Option. Such Option shall remain exercisable for the time period set forth in this Article 7.6.





ARTICLE 8. INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION LIMITATIONS


Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Plan, and to the extent required by Section 422 of the Code, Incentive Stock Options shall be subject to the following additional terms and conditions:


8.1

Dollar Limitation


To the extent the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the Grant Date) of Common Shares with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time during any calendar year (under the Plan and all other Stock Option Plans of the Company) exceeds $100,000, such portion in excess of $100,000 shall be treated as a Nonqualified Stock Option.  In the event the Participant holds two or more such Options that become exercisable for the first time in the same calendar year, such limitation shall be applied on the basis of the order in which such Options are granted.


8.2

Eligible Employees


Individuals who are not employees of the Company or one of its parent corporations or subsidiary corporations may not be granted Incentive Stock Options.


8.3

Exercise Price


The exercise price of an Incentive Stock Option shall be at least 100% of the Fair Market Value of the Common Shares on the Grant Date, and in the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to a Participant who owns more than 10% of the total



- 8 -





combined voting power of all classes of the stock of the Company or of its parent or subsidiary corporations (a “Ten Percent Stockholder”), shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of the Common Shares on the Grant Date.  The determination of more than 10% ownership shall be made in accordance with Section 422 of the Code.


8.4

Exercisability


An Option designated as an Incentive Stock Option shall cease to qualify for favorable tax treatment as an Incentive Stock Option to the extent it is exercised (if permitted by the terms of the Option):


(a)

more than three months after the Employment Termination Date if termination was for reasons other than death or disability;


(b)

more than one year after the Employment Termination Date if termination was by reason of disability; or


(c)

after the Participant has been on leave of absence for more than three months, unless the Participant’s reemployment rights are guaranteed by statute or contract.





8.5

Taxation of Incentive Stock Options


In order to obtain certain tax benefits afforded to Incentive Stock Options under Section 422 of the Code, the Participant must hold the shares acquired upon the exercise of an Incentive Stock Option for two years after the Grant Date and one year after the date of exercise.


A Participant may be subject to the alternative minimum tax at the time of exercise of an Incentive Stock Option.  The Participant shall give the Company prompt notice of any disposition of shares acquired on the exercise of an Incentive Stock Option prior to the expiration of such holding periods.


8.6

Code Definitions


For the purposes of this Article 8, “parent corporation”, “subsidiary corporation” and “disability” shall have the meanings attributed to those terms for purposes of Section 422 of the Code.



ARTICLE 9. WITHHOLDING


9.1

General


The Company may require the Participant to pay to the Company the amount of any taxes that the Company is required by applicable federal, state, local or foreign law to withhold with respect to the grant, vesting or exercise of an Option.  The Company shall not be required to issue any shares Common Shares under the Plan until such obligations are satisfied.


9.2

Payment of Withholding Obligations in Cash or Shares



- 9 -






The Plan Administrator may permit or require a Participant to satisfy all or part of his or her tax withholding obligations by:


(a)

paying cash to the Company;


(b)

having the Company withhold from any cash amounts otherwise due or to become due from the Company to the Participant;


(c)

having the Company withhold a portion of any Common Shares that would otherwise be issued to the Participant having a value equal to the tax withholding obligations (up to the employer’s minimum required tax withholding rate); or


(d)

surrendering any Common Shares that the Participant previously acquired having a value equal to the tax withholding obligations (up to the employer’s minimum required tax withholding rate to the extent the Participant has held the surrendered shares for less than six months).



ARTICLE 10. ASSIGNABILITY


Neither an Option nor any interest therein may be assigned, pledged or transferred by the Participant or made subject to attachment or similar proceedings other than by will or by the applicable laws of descent and distribution, and, during the Participant’s lifetime, such Options may be exercised only by the Participant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and to the extent permitted by Section 422 of the Code, the Plan Administrator, in its sole discretion, may permit a Participant to assign or transfer an Option or may permit a Participant to designate a beneficiary who may exercise the Option or receive payment under the Option after the Participant’s death; provided, however, that any Option so assigned or transferred shall be subject to all the terms and conditions of the Plan and those contained in the instrument evidencing the Option.



ARTICLE 11. ADJUSTMENTS


11.1

Adjustment of Shares


In the event, at any time or from time to time, a stock dividend, stock split, spin-off, combination or exchange of shares, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, distribution to stockholders other than a normal cash dividend, or other change in the Company’s corporate or capital structure, including, without limitation, a Related Party Transaction, results in (a) the outstanding Common Shares, or any securities exchanged therefor or received in their place, being exchanged for a different number or kind of securities of the Company or of any other corporation or (b) new, different or additional securities of the Company or of any other corporation being received by the holders of Common Shares of the Company, then the Plan Administrator shall make proportional adjustments in (i) the maximum number and kind of securities subject to the Plan and issuable as Incentive Stock Options as set forth in Article 4 hereinabove and the maximum number and kind of securities that may be made subject to Options and to Options to any individual as set forth in Article 4.3 hereinbelow, and (ii) the number and kind of securities that are subject to any outstanding award and the per share price of such securities, without any change in the aggregate price to be paid therefor.  The



- 10 -





determination by the Plan Administrator as to the terms of any of the foregoing adjustments shall be conclusive and binding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a dissolution or liquidation of the Company or a Corporate Transaction shall not be governed by this Article 11.1 but shall be governed by Articles 11.2 and 11.3, respectively, hereinbelow.


11.2

Dissolution or Liquidation


To the extent not previously exercised or settled, and unless otherwise determined by the Plan Administrator in its sole discretion, Options shall terminate immediately prior to the dissolution or liquidation of the Company.  To the extent a forfeiture provision or repurchase right applicable to an Option has not been waived by the Plan Administrator, the Option shall be forfeited immediately prior to the consummation of the dissolution or liquidation.




11.3

Corporate Transaction


(a)

In the event of a Corporate Transaction, except as otherwise provided in the instrument evidencing an Option (or in a written employment or services agreement between a Participant and the Company or Related Company) and except as provided in subsection (b) hereinbelow, each outstanding Option shall be assumed or an equivalent option or right substituted by the surviving corporation, the successor corporation or its parent corporation, as applicable (the “Successor Corporation”).


(b)

If, in connection with a Corporate Transaction, the Successor Corporation refuses to assume or substitute for an Option, then each such outstanding Option shall become fully vested and exercisable with respect to 100% of the unvested portion of the Option.  In such case, the Plan Administrator shall notify the Participant in writing or electronically that the unvested portion of the Option specified above shall be fully vested and exercisable for a specified time period. At the expiration of the time period, the Option shall terminate, provided that the Corporate Transaction has occurred.


(c)

For the purposes of this Article 11.3, the Option shall be considered assumed or substituted for if following the Corporate Transaction the option or right confers the right to purchase or receive, for each share of Common Shares subject to the Option immediately prior to the Corporate Transaction, the consideration (whether stock, cash, or other securities or property) received in the Corporate Transaction by holders of Common 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 Corporate Transaction is not solely Common Shares of the Successor Corporation, the Plan Administrator may, with the consent of the Successor Corporation, provide for the consideration to be received upon the exercise of the Option, for each share of Common Shares subject thereto, to be solely Common Shares of the Successor Corporation substantially equal in fair market value to the per share consideration received by holders of Common Shares in the Corporate Transaction. The determination of such substantial equality of value of consideration shall be made by the Plan Administrator and its determination shall be conclusive and binding.



- 11 -






(d)

All Options shall terminate and cease to remain outstanding immediately following the Corporate Transaction, except to the extent assumed by the Successor Corporation.







11.4

Further Adjustment of Options


Subject to Articles 11.2 and 11.3 hereinabove, the Plan Administrator shall have the discretion, exercisable at any time before a sale, merger, consolidation, reorganization, liquidation or change of control of the Company, as defined by the Plan Administrator, to take such further action as it determines to be necessary or advisable, and fair and equitable to the Participants, with respect to Options.  Such authorized action may include (but shall not be limited to) establishing, amending or waiving the type, terms, conditions or duration of, or restrictions on, Options so as to provide for earlier, later, extended or additional time for exercise, lifting restrictions and other modifications, and the Plan Administrator may take such actions with respect to all Participants, to certain categories of Participants or only to individual Participants.  The Plan Administrator may take such action before or after granting Options to which the action relates and before or after any public announcement with respect to such sale, merger, consolidation, reorganization, liquidation or change of control that is the reason for such action.


11.5

Limitations


The grant of Options shall in no way affect the Company’s right to adjust, reclassify, reorganize or otherwise change its capital or business structure or to merge, consolidate, dissolve, liquidate or sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets.


11.6

Fractional Shares


In the event of any adjustment in the number of shares covered by any Option, each such Option shall cover only the number of full shares resulting from such adjustment.



- 12 -







ARTICLE 12. AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION


12.1

Amendment or Termination of Plan


The Board may suspend, amend or terminate the Plan or any portion of the Plan at any time and in such respects as it shall deem advisable; provided, however, and only if applicable, that to the extent required for compliance with Section 422 of the Code or any applicable law or regulation only, stockholder approval shall be required for any amendment that would:


(a)

increase the total number of shares available for issuance under the Plan;


(b)

modify the class of employees eligible to receive Options; or


(c)

otherwise require stockholder approval under any applicable law or regulation.


Any amendment made to the Plan that would constitute a “modification” to Incentive Stock Options outstanding on the date of such amendment shall not, without the consent of the Participant, be applicable to such outstanding Incentive Stock Options but shall have prospective effect only.


12.2

Term of Plan


Unless sooner terminated as provided herein, the Plan shall terminate ten years after the earlier of the Plan’s adoption by the Board and approval by the stockholders.


12.3

Consent of Participant


The suspension, amendment or termination of the Plan or a portion thereof or the amendment of an outstanding Option shall not, without the Participant’s consent, materially adversely affect any rights under any Option theretofore granted to the Participant under the Plan.  Any change or adjustment to an outstanding Incentive Stock Option shall not, without the consent of the Participant, be made in a manner so as to constitute a “modification” that would cause such Incentive Stock Option to fail to continue to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any adjustments made pursuant to this Article 12 shall not be subject to these restrictions.



ARTICLE 13. GENERAL


13.1

Evidence of Options


Options granted under the Plan shall be evidenced by a written instrument that shall contain such terms, conditions, limitations and restrictions as the Plan Administrator shall deem advisable and that are not inconsistent with the Plan.





13.2

No Individual Rights




- 13 -





Nothing in the Plan or any Option granted under the Plan shall be deemed to constitute an employment contract or confer or be deemed to confer on any Participant any right to continue in the employ of, or to continue any other relationship with, the Company or any Related Company or limit in any way the right of the Company or any Related Company to terminate a Participant’s employment or other relationship at any time, with or without Cause.


13.3

Issuance of Shares


Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the Company shall have no obligation to issue or deliver any Common Shares under the Plan or make any other distribution of benefits under the Plan unless, in the opinion of the Company’s counsel, such issuance, delivery or distribution would comply with all applicable laws (including, without limitation, the requirements of the Securities Act), and the applicable requirements of any securities exchange or similar entity.


The Company shall be under no obligation to any Participant to register for offering or resale or to qualify for exemption under the Securities Act, or to register or qualify under state securities laws, any Common Shares, security or interest in a security paid or issued under, or created by, the Plan, or to continue in effect any such registrations or qualifications if made.  The Company may issue certificates for shares with such legends and subject to such restrictions on transfer and stop-transfer instructions as counsel for the Company deems necessary or desirable for compliance by the Company with federal and state securities laws.


To the extent the Plan or any instrument evidencing an Option provides for issuance of stock certificates to reflect the issuance of Common Shares, the issuance may be effected on a noncertificated basis, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law or the applicable rules of any stock exchange.


13.4

No Rights as a Stockholder


No Option or Stock Option denominated in units shall entitle the Participant to any cash dividend, voting or other right of a stockholder unless and until the date of issuance under the Plan of the shares that are the subject of such Option.


13.5

Compliance With Laws and Regulations


Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, the Plan Administrator, in its sole discretion, may bifurcate the Plan so as to restrict, limit or condition the use of any provision of the Plan to Participants who are officers or directors subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act without so restricting, limiting or conditioning the Plan with respect to other Participants.  Additionally, in interpreting and applying the provisions of the Plan, any Option granted as an Incentive Stock Option pursuant to the Plan shall, to the extent permitted by law, be construed as an “incentive stock option” within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code.


13.6

Participants in Other Countries


The Plan Administrator shall have the authority to adopt such modifications, procedures and subplans as may be necessary or desirable to comply with provisions of the laws of other countries in which the Company or any Related Company may operate to assure the viability of the benefits from Options granted to Participants employed in such countries and to meet the objectives of the Plan.



- 14 -






13.7

No Trust or Fund


The Plan is intended to constitute an “unfunded” plan.  Nothing contained herein shall require the Company to segregate any monies or other property, or Common Shares, or to create any trusts, or to make any special deposits for any immediate or deferred amounts payable to any Participant, and no Participant shall have any rights that are greater than those of a general unsecured creditor of the Company.


13.8

Severability


If any provision of the Plan or any Option is determined to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, or as to any person, or would disqualify the Plan or any Option under any law deemed applicable by the Plan Administrator, such provision shall be construed or deemed amended to conform to applicable laws, or, if it cannot be so construed or deemed amended without, in the Plan Administrator’s determination, materially altering the intent of the Plan or the Option, such provision shall be stricken as to such jurisdiction, person or Option, and the remainder of the Plan and any such Option shall remain in full force and effect.


13.9

Choice of Law


The Plan and all determinations made and actions taken pursuant hereto shall be governed by the laws of the State of Nevada, U.S.A., without giving effect to principles of conflicts of law.



ARTICLE 14. EFFECTIVE DATE


The effective date is June 17, 2012, being the date on which the Plan was adopted by the Board. If the stockholders of the Company do not approve the Plan within 12 months after the Board’s adoption of the Plan, any Incentive Stock Options granted under the Plan will be treated as Nonqualified Stock Options.
