EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN

On August 22, 2007, the Company adopted an Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”).  Under the Plan, Stock Options may be granted to Employees, Directors, and Consultants in the form of Incentive Stock Options or Nonstatutory Stock Options.  Stock Purchase Rights, time vested and/performance invested Restricted Stock, and Stock Appreciation Rights and Unrestricted Shares may also be granted under the Plan.  The initial maximum number of shares that may be issued under the Plan shall be 400,000 shares, and no more than 100,000 Shares of Common Stock may be granted to any one Participant with respect to Options, Stock Purchase Rights and Stock Appreciation Rights during any one calendar year period.  Common Stock to be issued under the Plan may be either authorized and unissued or shares held in treasury by the Company.  The term of the Plan shall be ten years.  The Board of Directors may amend, alter, suspend, or terminate the Plan at any time.

Effective October 1, 2009, and December 1, 2009, the Company granted 75,000 and 115,000 incentive stock options, respectively, to certain consultants under the Plan. The granting of these options exhausted all the options outstanding for grant under the plan.  The fair value of the options was determined to be $47,500 using the Black-Scholes Model. The options that have a term of five years were issued in conjunction with consulting agreements business and financial advisory services. The stock options are in lieu of payment for these services and as such the Company will recognize operating expense over the term of the agreements. Accordingly, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, the Company recognized operating expense of $15,000 and $26,875, respectively.  Prepaid equity based compensation is reflected as a component of shareholders’ deficit for the related consulting services yet to be provided at the end of the period.  As of June 30, 2011, all consulting services under this plan had been provided.
