PART II
INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
Item 1. Plan Information.
Innocap, Inc., (hereafter, the “Registrant” or the “Company”) has adopted an Amendment to its 2017 Non-Statutory Stock Option Plan (hereinafter referred to as the “Plan”), the nature and purpose of which is to compensate the Company’s officers, directors, employees, and consultants (hereafter, collectively, “Participants” or individually a “Participant”) for services rendered to the Company and to generate an increased incentive to contribute to the progress of the Company. The Amended Plan is attached as an exhibit to this filing and provides for the issuance of up to 23,000,000 shares of the Registrant’s common stock (par value $.001) in connection with common stock purchase options granted under the Plan (grants of common stock purchase options are hereafter generically referred to as “Awards.” Awards under the Plan may be made at any time up until July 25, 2027 (the “Plan Expiration Date”). All changes were made to clarify the intent of the initial Plan.
The Company’s Board of Directors (“Board”) may appoint and maintain as administrator of this Plan the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board which shall consist of at least three members of the Board. Until such time as the Committee is duly constituted, the Board itself shall have and fulfill the duties herein allocated to the Committee. The Committee shall have full power and authority to designate Plan participants, to determine the provisions and terms of respective Awards (which need not be identical as to number of shares covered by any Award, the method of exercise as related to exercise in whole or in installments, or otherwise), including the Award price, and to interpret the provisions and supervise the administration of this Plan.
The purchase price of each share of Stock placed under Award shall be determined by the Board not be less than ten percent (10%) of the fair market value of such share on the date the Award is granted or more than the fair market value of such share on the date the Award is granted.
The Stock subject to this Plan shall consist of un-issued shares or previously issued shares reacquired and held by the Company or any Affiliated Corporation, and such amount of shares shall be and is hereby reserved for sale for such purpose.
The Award exercise period shall be a term determined by the Committee but not for a period of more than ten (10) years from the date of grant.
The Plan is not qualified under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code. To the extent a Participant receives an Award of common stock purchase options with an exercise price below the fair value of the underlying common stock, such Participant may recognize ordinary income with respect to the difference between the exercise price and fair value. To the extent that a Participant receives an Award of common stock, the Participant will recognize ordinary income equal to the aggregate fair market value of the shares issued to the Participant as of the date of issuance.
The termination of a Participant’s directorship, employment, consulting relationship may result in the forfeiture of any unvested portion of an Award granted under the Plan. Moreover, any Award of common stock purchase options must be exercised within six months of the cessation of a Participant’s directorship, employment, or consulting relationship with the Company, as applicable. In the case of a Participant’s death, such exercise period is extended an additional six months. In the case of a Participant’s termination or removal for “cause” as defined in the Plan, any unvested portion of an Award of common stock purchase options or other securities shall be immediately forfeited to the Company.
Item 3. Incorporation of Certain Documents by Reference.
The following documents are hereby incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement:
(a)the Registrant’s Annual Report on Form 10-K (including amendments thereto) for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2017, as filed with the SEC; and
(b)all other reports filed with the SEC pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) since January 31, 2017.
2
In addition to the above, all documents subsequently filed by the Registrant pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14, and 15(d) of the Exchange Act, prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment, which indicates that all securities offered have been sold or which deregisters all securities then remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement and to be a part thereof from the date of filing of such documents.
Any statement contained herein or in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference herein shall be deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes of this Registration Statement to the extent that a statement contained herein or in any other subsequently filed document which also is or is deemed to be incorporated by reference herein modifies or supersedes such statement. Any statement so modified or superseded shall not be deemed, except as so modified or superseded, to constitute a part of this Registration Statement.
Item 5. Interest of Named Experts and Counsel.
Neither Morgan E. Petitti, Esq. nor GBH CPAs, have any shares of our common stock.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
The statute, charter provision, bylaw, contract, or other arrangement under which any controlling person, director or officer of the Registrant is insured or indemnified in any manner against any liability which he or may incur in his or her capacity as such, is as follows:
(a) Subsection (1) of Section 78.751 of the Nevada Corporation Law empowers a corporation to “indemnify any person who is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, except an action by or in the right of the corporation, by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, does not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and that, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, he had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.”
Subsection (2) of Section 78.751 empowers a corporation to “indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses, including amounts paid in settlement and attorneys’ fees actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of the action or suit if he acted in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation. Indemnification may not be made for any claim, issue or matter as to which such a person has been adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion of all appeals therefrom, to be liable to the corporation or for amounts paid in settlement to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which the action or suit was brought or other court of competent jurisdiction determines upon application that in view of all the circumstances of the case, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnify for such expenses as the court deems proper.”
Subsection 78.751(3) further provides that “to the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in subsections 1 and 2, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter herein, he must be indemnified by the corporation against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense.”
(b) The Registrant’s Articles of Incorporation provides that the Registrant shall indemnify directors, officers, employees and agents to the full extent allowed for under the Nevada Business Corporation Act.
INSOFAR AS INDEMNIFICATION FOR LIABILITIES ARISING UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 MAY BE PERMITTED TO DIRECTORS, OFFICERS OR PERSONS CONTROLLING THE COMPANY PURSUANT TO HE FOREGOING PROVISIONS, THE COMPANY HAS BEEN INFORMED THAT IN THE OPINION OF THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION, SUCH INDEMNIFICATION IS AGAINST PUBLIC POLICY AS EXPRESSED IN THE SECURITIES ACT IS THEREFORE UNENFORCEABLE.
3
In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of 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 of 1933, as amended, and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.

Item 8. Exhibits.
The exhibits to the registration statement are listed in the Exhibit Index elsewhere herein.
Item 9. Undertakings.
a. 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 of 1933;
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 thereto) which, individually or in the aggregate, represents a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement; and
iii.To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement;
iv.Provided, however, that paragraph a.1.i. and a.1.ii. shall not apply if 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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.
2.That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, 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.
b. The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered herein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
c. The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to deliver or cause to be delivered with the prospectus, to each person to whom the prospectus is sent or given, the latest annual report to security holders that is incorporated by reference in the prospectus and furnished pursuant to and meeting the requirements of Rule 14a-3 or Rule 124c-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; and, where interim financial information required to be presented by Article 3 of Regulation S-X is not set forth in the prospectus, to deliver, or cause to be delivered to each person to whom the prospectus is sent or given, the latest quarterly report that is specifically incorporated by reference in the prospectus to provide such interim financial information.
4
d. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the provisions described in Item 6, 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 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 Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, 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 or amendment thereto to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in Jefferson, Texas on January 23, 2018.

INNOCAP, INC.
AMENDED 2017 NON-STATUTORY STOCK OPTION PLAN
1. Purpose of this Plan
This Non-Statutory Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”) is intended as an employment incentive, to aid in attracting and retaining in the employ or service of Innocap, Inc. (the “Company”), a Nevada corporation, and any Affiliated Corporation, persons of experience and ability and whose services are considered valuable, to encourage the sense of proprietorship in such persons, and to stimulate the active interest of such persons in the development and success of the Company. This Plan provides for the issuance of non-statutory stock options (“NSOs” or “Options”) which are not intended to qualify as “incentive stock options” within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and for grants of common stock (“Stock Grants”).
2. Administration of this Plan
The Company’s Board of Directors (“Board”) may appoint and maintain as administrator of this Plan the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board which shall consist of at least three members of the Board. Until such time as the Committee is duly constituted, the Board itself shall have and fulfill the duties herein allocated to the Committee. The Committee shall have full power and authority to designate Plan participants, to determine the provisions and terms of respective NSOs (which need not be identical as to number of shares covered by any NSO, the method of exercise as related to exercise in whole or in installments, or otherwise), including the NSO price, and to interpret the provisions and supervise the administration of this Plan. The Committee may, in its discretion, provide that certain NSOs not vest (that is, become exercisable) until expiration of a certain period after issuance or until other conditions are satisfied, so long as not contrary to this Plan. The Committee shall also have total authority and discretion with respect to the awarding of any Stock Grants.
A majority of the members of the Committee shall constitute a quorum. All decisions and selections made by the Committee pursuant to this Plan’s provisions shall be made by a majority of its members. Any decision reduced to writing and signed by all of the members shall be fully effective as if it had been made by a majority at a meeting duly held. The Committee shall select one of its members as its chairman and shall hold its meetings at such times and places as it deems advisable. If at any time the Board shall consist of seven or more members, then the Board may amend this Plan to provide that the Committee shall consist only of Board members who shall not have been eligible to participate in this Plan (or similar stock or stock option plan) of the Company or its affiliates at any time within one year prior to appointment to the Committee.
All NSOs and Stock Grants granted under this Plan are subject to, and may not be exercised or, in the case of Stock Grants, sold by the recipients thereof before, the approval of this Plan by the holders of a majority of the Company’s outstanding shares, and if such approval is not obtained, all NSOs and Stock Grants previously granted shall be void. Each NSO shall be evidenced by a written agreement containing terms and conditions established by the Committee consistent with the provisions of this Plan.
3. Designation of Participants
The persons eligible for participation in this Plan as recipients of NSOs or Stock Grants shall include full-time and part-time employees (as determined by the Committee) and officers of the Company or of an Affiliated Corporation. In addition, directors of the Company or any Affiliated Corporation who are not employees of the Company or an Affiliated Corporation and any attorney, consultant or other adviser to the Company or any Affiliated Corporation shall be eligible to participate in this Plan. For all purposes of this Plan, any director who is not also a common law employee and is granted an option under this Plan shall be considered an “employee” until the effective date of the director’s resignation or removal from the Board of Directors, including removal due to death or disability. The Committee shall have full power to designate, from among eligible individuals, the persons to whom NSOs or Stock Grants may be granted. A person who has been granted an NSO hereunder may be granted an additional NSO or NSOs or Stock Grant(s), if the Committee shall so determine. Neither the granting of an NSO nor a Stock Grant shall not be construed as a contract of employment or as entitling the recipient thereof to any rights of continued employment.
4. Stock Reserved for this Plan
Subject to adjustment as provided in Paragraph 9 below, a total of 23,000,000 shares of Common Stock (“Stock”), of the Company shall be subject to this Plan. The Stock subject to this Plan shall consist of un-issued shares or previously issued shares reacquired and held by the Company or any Affiliated Corporation, and such amount of shares shall be and is hereby reserved for sale for such purpose. Any of such shares which may remain unsold and which are not subject to outstanding NSOs or Stock Grants at the termination of this Plan shall cease to be reserved for the purpose of this Plan, but until termination of this Plan, the Company shall at all times reserve a sufficient number of shares to meet the requirements of this Plan. Should any NSO or Stock Grant expire or be canceled prior to its exercise in full, the unexercised shares theretofore subject to such NSOor Stock Grant may again be subjected to an NSO or Stock Grant under this Plan.
5. Option Price
The purchase price of each share of Stock placed under NSO shall be determined by the Board but not be less than ten percent (10%) of the fair market value of such share on the date the NSO is granted or more than the fair market value of such share on the date the NSO is granted. The fair market value of a share on a particular date shall be deemed to be the average of either (i) the highest and lowest prices at which shares were sold on the date of grant, if traded on a national securities exchange, (ii) the high and low prices reported in the consolidated reporting system, if traded on a “last sale reported” system, such as NASDAQ, or (iii) the high bid and high asked price for over-the-counter securities. If no transactions in the Stock occur on the date of grant, the fair market value shall be determined as of the next earliest day for which reports or quotations are available. If the common shares are not then quoted on any exchange or in any quotation medium at the time the option is granted, then the Board of Directors or Committee will use its discretion in selecting a good faith value believed to represent fair market value based on factors then known to them. The cash proceeds from the sale of Stock are to be added to the general funds of the Company.
6. Exercise Period
a)The NSO exercise period shall be a term determined by the Committee but not for a period of more than ten (10) years from the date of granting of each NSO and shall automatically terminate:
1)Upon termination of the optionee’s employment with the Company for cause;
2)At the expiration of twelve (12) months from the date of termination of the optionee’s employment with the Company for any reason other than death, without cause; provided, that if the optioned dies within such twelve month period, subclause (iii) below shall apply; or
3)At the expiration of fifteen (15) months after the date of death of the optioned.
b)“Employment with the Company” as used in this Plan shall include employment with any Affiliated Corporation, and NSOs granted under this Plan shall not be affected by an employee’s transfer of employment among the Company and any Parent or Subsidiary thereof. An optionee’s employment with the Company shall not be deemed interrupted or terminated by a bona fide leave of absence (such as sabbatical leave or employment by the Government) duly approved, military leave, maternity leave or sick leave.
7. Exercise of Options
a)The Committee, in granting NSOs, shall have discretion to determine the terms upon which NSOs shall be exercisable, subject to applicable provisions of this Plan. Once available for purchase, un-purchased shares of Stock shall remain subject to purchase until the NSO expires or terminates in accordance with Paragraph 6 above. Unless otherwise provided in the NSO, an NSO may be exercised in whole or in part, one or more times, but no NSO may be exercised for a fractional share of Stock.
b)NSOs may be exercised solely by the optioned during his lifetime, or after his death (with respect to the number of shares which the optioned could have purchased at the time of death) by the person or persons entitled thereto under the decedent’s will or the laws of descent and distribution.
c)The purchase price of the shares of Stock as to which an NSO is exercised shall be paid in full at the time of exercise and no shares of Stock shall be issued until full payment is made therefore. Payment shall be made either (i) in cash, represented by bank or cashier’s check, certified check or money order or (ii) in lieu of payment for bona fide services rendered, and such services were not in connection with the offer or sale of securities in a capital raising transaction, (iii) by delivering shares of the Company’s Common Stock which have been beneficially owned by the optioned, the optionee’s spouse, or both of them for a period of at least six (6) months prior to the time of exercise (the “Delivered Stock”) in a number equal to the number of shares of Stock being purchased upon exercise of the NSO or (iv) by delivery of shares of corporate stock which are freely tradable without restriction and which are part of a class of securities which has been listed for trading on the NASDAQ system or a national securities exchange, with an aggregate fair market value equal to or greater than the exercise price of the shares of Stock being purchased under the NSO, or (v) a combination of cash, services, Delivered Stock or other corporate shares. An NSO shall be deemed exercised when written notice thereof, accompanied by the appropriate payment in full, is received by the Company. No holder of an NSO shall be, or have any of the rights and privileges of, a shareholder of the Company in respect of any shares of Stock purchasable upon exercise of any part of an NSO unless and until certificates representing such shares shall have been issued by the Company to him or her.
2
8. Assignability
No NSO shall be assignable or otherwise transferable (by the optioned or otherwise) except by will or the laws of descent and distribution or except as permitted in accordance with SEC Release No.33-7646 as effective April 7, 1999 and in particular that portion thereof which expands upon transferability as is contained in Article III entitled “Transferable Options and Proxy Reporting” as indicated in Section A 1 through 4 inclusive and Section B thereof. No NSO shall be pledged or hypothecated in any manner, whether by operation of law or otherwise, nor be subject to execution, attachment or similar process.
9. Reorganizations and Recapitalizations of the Company
a)The existence of this Plan and NSOs granted hereunder shall not affect in any way the right or power of the Company or its shareholders to make or authorize any and all adjustments, recapitalizations, reorganizations or other changes in the Company’s capital structure or its business, or any merger or consolidation of the Company, or any issue of bonds, debentures, preferred or prior preference stocks ahead of or affecting the Company’s Common Stock or the rights thereof, or the dissolution or liquidation of the Company, or any sale, exchange or transfer of all or any part of its assets or business, or the other corporation act or proceeding, whether of a similar character or otherwise.
b)The shares of Stock with respect to which NSOs may be granted hereunder are shares of the Common Stock of the Company as currently constituted. If, and whenever, prior to delivery by the Company of all of the shares of Stock which are subject to NSOs granted hereunder, the Company shall effect a subdivision or consolidation of shares or other capital readjustment, the payment of a Stock dividend, a stock split, combination of shares (reverse stock split) or recapitalization or other increase or reduction of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding without receiving compensation therefore in money, services or property, then the number of shares of Stock available under this Plan and the number of shares of Stock with respect to which NSOs granted hereunder may thereafter be exercised shall (i) in the event of an increase in the number of outstanding shares, be proportionately increased, and the cash consideration payable per share shall be proportionately reduced; and (ii) in the event of a reduction in the number of outstanding shares, be proportionately reduced, and the cash consideration payable per share shall be proportionately increased.
c)If the Company is reorganized, merged, consolidated or party to a plan of exchange with another corporation pursuant to which shareholders of the Company receive any shares of stock or other securities, there shall be substituted for the shares of Stock subject to the unexercised portions of outstanding NSOs an appropriate number of shares of each class of stock or other securities which were distributed to the shareholders of the Company in respect of such shares of Stock in the case of a reorganization, merger, consolidation or plan of exchange; provided, however, that all such NSOs may be canceled by the Company as of the effective date of a reorganization, merger, consolidation, plan of exchange, or any dissolution or liquidation of the Company, by giving notice to each optioned or his personal representative of its intention to do so and by permitting the purchase of all the shares subject to such outstanding NSOs for a period of not less than thirty (30) days during the sixty (60) days next preceding such effective date.
d)Except as expressly provided above, the Company’s issuance of shares of Stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of Stock of any class, for cash or property, or for labor or services, either upon direct sale or upon the exercise of rights or warrants to subscribe therefor, or upon conversion of shares or obligations of the Company convertible into shares of Stock or other securities, shall not affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number of shares of Stock subject to NSOs granted hereunder or the purchase price of such shares.
10. Purchase for Investment
Unless the shares of Stock covered by this Plan have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, each person exercising an NSO under this Plan may be required by the Company to give a representation in writing that he is acquiring such shares for his own account for investment and not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, the distribution of any part thereof.
11. Effective Date and Expiration of this Plan
This Plan shall be effective as of June 29, 2017, the date of its adoption by the Board, subject to the approval of the Company’s shareholders, and no NSO shall be granted pursuant to this Plan after its expiration. This Plan shall expire on June 29, 2027 except as to NSOs then outstanding, which shall remain in effect until they have expired or been exercised.
3
12. Amendments or Termination
The Board may amend, alter or discontinue this Plan at any time in such respects as it shall deem advisable in order to conform to any change in any other applicable law, or in order to comply with the provisions of any rule or regulation of the Securities and Exchange Commission required to exempt this Plan or any NSOs granted thereunder from the operation of Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”), or in any other respect not inconsistent with Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act; provided, that no amendment or alteration shall be made which would impair the rights of any participant under any NSO or Stock Grant theretofore granted, without his consent (unless made solely to conform such NSO to, and necessary because of, changes in the foregoing laws, rules or regulations), and except that no amendment or alteration shall be made without the approval of shareholders which would:
a)Increase the total number of shares reserved for the purposes of this Plan or decrease the NSO price provided for in Paragraph 5 (except as provided in Paragraph 9), or change the classes of persons eligible to participate in this Plan as provided in Paragraph 3; or
b)Extend the NSO period provided for in Paragraph 6; or
c)Materially increase the benefits accruing to participants under this Plan; or
d)Materially modify the requirements as to eligibility for participation in this Plan; or
e)Extend the expiration date of this Plan as set forth in Paragraph 11.
13. Government Regulations
This Plan, and the granting and exercise of NSOs or the award of Stock Grants hereunder, and the obligation of the Company to sell and deliver shares of Stock under such NSOs, shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules and regulations, and to such approvals by any governmental agencies or national securities exchanges as may be required.
14. Liability
No member of the Board of Directors, the Committee or officers or employees of the Company or any Affiliated Corporation shall be personally liable for any action, omission or determination made in good faith in connection with this Plan.
15. Miscellaneous.
The term “Affiliated Corporation” used herein shall mean any Parent or Subsidiary.
a)The term “Parent” used herein shall mean any corporation owning 50 percent or more of the total combined voting stock of all classes of the Company or of another corporation qualifying as a Parent within this definition.
b)The term “Subsidiary” used herein shall mean any corporation more than 50 percent of whose total combined voting stock of all classes is held by the Company or by another corporation qualifying as a Subsidiary within this definition.
16. Options in Substitution for Other Options
The Committee may, in its sole discretion, at any time during the term of this Plan, grant new options to an employee under this Plan or any other stock option plan of the Company on the condition that such employee shall surrender for cancellation one or more outstanding options which represent the right to purchase (after giving effect to any previous partial exercise thereof) a number of shares, in relation to the number of shares to be covered by the new conditional grant hereunder, determined by the Committee. If the Committee shall have so determined to grant such new options on such a conditional basis (“New Conditional Options”), no such New Conditional Option shall become exercisable in the absence of such employee’s consent to the condition and surrender and cancellation as appropriate. New Conditional Options shall be treated in all respects under this Plan as newly granted options. Option may be granted under this Plan from time to time in substitution for similar rights held by employees of other corporations who are about to become employees of the Company or an Affiliated Corporation, or the merger or consolidation of the employing corporation with the Company or an Affiliated Corporation, or the acquisition by the Company or an Affiliated Corporation of the assets of the employing corporation, or the acquisition by the Company or an Affiliated Corporation of stock of the employing corporation as the result of which it becomes an Affiliated Corporation.

In lieu of part or all of any such payment, the optioned may elect to have the Company withhold from the shares to be issued upon exercise of the option that number of shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount which the Company is required to withhold.
