INFORMATION CIRCULAR
(As at May 25, 2007)

THIS INFORMATION CIRCULAR IS FURNISHED TO YOU IN CONNECTION WITH THE SOLICITATION OF PROXIES BY THE MANAGEMENT OF SPROUT DEVELOPMENT INC. (“WE”, “US” OR THE “COMPANY”) FOR USE AT THE ANNUAL AND SPECIAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS OF THE COMPANY (AND ANY ADJOURNMENT THEREOF) (THE "MEETING") TO BE HELD ON JUNE 21, 2007 AT THE TIME AND PLACE AND FOR THE PURPOSES SET OUT IN THE ACCOMPANYING NOTICE OF MEETING.

The Company will conduct its solicitation by mail and may be supplemented by telephone or other personal contact to be made by officers and employees of the Company, without receiving special compensation. The Company will pay the cost of solicitation.

APPOINTMENT OF PROXYHOLDER

The purpose of a proxy is to designate persons who will vote the proxy on a shareholder's behalf in accordance with the instructions given by the shareholder in the proxy. The persons whose names are printed in the enclosed form of proxy are officers or directors of the Company (the “Management Proxyholders”).

A shareholder has the right to appoint a person other than the Management Proxyholders, to represent the shareholder at the Meeting by striking out the names of the Management Proxyholders and by inserting the desired person's name in the blank space provided or by executing a proxy in a form similar to the enclosed form. A proxyholder need not be a shareholder of the Company.

VOTING BY PROXY

Only registered shareholders or duly appointed proxyholders are permitted to vote at the Meeting. Shares represented by a properly executed proxy will be voted or be withheld from voting on each matter referred to in the Notice of Meeting in accordance with the instructions of the shareholder on any ballot that may be called for and if the shareholder specifies a choice with respect to any matter to be acted upon, the shares will be voted accordingly.

If a shareholder does not specify a choice and the shareholder has appointed one of the Management Proxyholders as proxyholder, the Management Proxyholder will vote in favor of the matters specified in the Notice of Meeting and in favor of all other matters proposed by management at the Meeting.






The enclosed form of proxy also gives discretionary authority to the person named therein as proxyholder with respect to amendments or variations to matters identified in the Notice of the Meeting and with respect to other matters which may properly come before the Meeting. At the date of this Information Circular, management of the Company knows of no such amendments, variations or other matters to come before the Meeting.

COMPLETION AND RETURN OF PROXY

Completed forms of proxy must be deposited at the office of 1530- 9 Avenue S.E. Calgary, Alberta T2G 0T7, by mail or by facsimile at 403-272-3620, in accordance with the instructions set out in the form of proxy accompanying this Information Circular not later than forty-eight (48) hours, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays, prior to the time of the Meeting, unless the chairman of the Meeting elects to exercise his discretion to accept proxies received subsequently.

NON-REGISTERED HOLDERS

Only shareholders whose shares appear on the records of the Company as the registered holders of shares or duly appointed proxyholders are permitted to vote at the Meeting. Certain of the shareholders of the Company are "non-registered" shareholders because the shares they own are not registered in their names but instead registered in the name of a nominee such as a brokerage firm through which they purchased the shares; bank, trust company, trustee or administrator of self-administered RRSP's, RRIF's, RESP's and similar plans; or clearing agency such as The Canadian Depository for Securities Limited (a “Nominee”). If you purchased your shares through a broker, you are likely an unregistered holder.

The Company has distributed copies of the Meeting materials, being the Notice of Meeting, this Information Circular and the Proxy, to the Nominees for distribution to non-registered holders.

Nominees are required to forward the Meeting materials to non-registered holders to seek their voting instructions in advance of the Meeting. Shares held by Nominees can only be voted in accordance with the instructions of the non-registered holder. The Nominees often have their own form of proxy, mailing procedures and provide their own return instructions. If you wish to vote by proxy, you should carefully follow the instructions from the Nominee in order that your Shares are voted at the Meeting.

If you, as a non-registered holder, wish to vote at the Meeting in person, you should appoint yourself as proxyholder by writing your name in the space provided on the request for voting instructions or proxy provided by the Nominee and return the form to the Nominee in the envelope provided. Do not complete the voting section of the form as your vote will be taken at the Meeting.

REVOCABILITY OF PROXY

Any registered shareholder who has returned a proxy may revoke it at any time before it has been exercised. In addition to revocation in any other manner permitted by law, a registered shareholder, his attorney authorized in writing or, if the registered shareholder is a corporation, a corporation under its corporate seal or by an officer or attorney thereof duly authorized, may




2




revoke a proxy by instrument in writing, including a proxy bearing a later date. The instrument revoking the proxy must be deposited at the registered office of the Company, at any time up to and including the last business day preceding the date of the Meeting, or any adjournment thereof, or with the chairman of the Meeting on the day of the Meeting. Only registered shareholders have the right to revoke a proxy. Non-Registered Holders who wish to change their vote must, at least 7 days before the Meeting, arrange for their Nominees to revoke the proxy on their behalf.

The Stock Option Plan is designed to advance the interests of the Company by encouraging employees, directors and certain others to hold equity in the Company through the acquisition of common shares. The Stock Option Plan is administered by the Company's Secretary, or such other senior officer or employee as may be designated by the Board of Directors from time to time.

The maximum number of common shares in the share capital of the Company currently authorized for issuance for the purposes of the Stock Option Plan will be fixed at 2,700,000 Shares.  There are no options to purchase Shares which are currently outstanding, prior to the Stock Option Plan.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Of Sprout Development Inc.

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Sprout Development Inc., (a Alberta, Canada corporation and a development stage enterprise) as of July 31, 2006, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the each of the two years in the period ended July 31, 2006, and for the period from inception, July 19, 2004, through July 31, 2006. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.

(A development stage enterprise)
Notes to Financial Statements
July 31, 2006 and 2005

Note 1 - Organization and summary of significant accounting policies:

Following is a summary of our organization and significant accounting policies:

Organization and nature of business – Sprout Development Inc. (identified in these footnotes as “we” or the Company) is an Alberta, Canada corporation incorporated on July 19, 2004. We are currently based in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. We use a July 31 fiscal year for financial reporting purposes.

Our president owns 78% of our shares and Puroil Technology, Inc. of Calgary, Alberta, Canada, owns 22% of our shares.

We intend to market web based software that provides a non-confrontational method for parents to communicate the schedules of their children in a co-parenting environment.

To date, our activities have been limited to formation, the raising of equity capital, and the development of a business plan. We have engaged a financial consulting firm to assist us in registering securities for trading by filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. In the current development stage, we anticipate incurring operating losses as we implement our business plan.

Basis of presentation - The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles applicable to development stage enterprises. The financial statements have been presented in U.S. dollars, which is our functional currency.

Use of estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and cash equivalents - For purposes of the statement of cash flows, we consider all cash in banks, money market funds, and certificates of deposit with a maturity of less than three months to be cash equivalents.

Accounting for long-lived assets – Impairment of long-lived assets is recognized when the fair value of a long-lived asset is less than its carrying value. At the end of the current year, no impairment of long-lived assets had occurred, in management’s opinion.

Property and equipment and depreciation – Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation computed principally accelerated methods over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Estimated lives of depreciable assets are five years.

Deferred registration costs – Legal and other expenses related to the filing of a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as described in Note 3 below, will be deferred until the stock offering is completed, at which time they will be charged against the proceeds of the stock offering.

SPROUT DEVELOPMENT INC.
(A development stage enterprise)
Notes to Financial Statements
July 31, 2006 and 2005

Intangible assets – We acquired a software license from our majority shareholders in exchange for common stock. SEC rules dictate that transfers of nonmonetary assets to a company by its promoters or shareholders in exchange for stock prior to or at the time of the company's initial public offering should be recorded at the transferors' historical cost basis determined under generally accepted accounting principles. Since the shareholders had no cost basis in the license, no value was recorded for it.

Fair value of financial instruments and derivative financial instruments - The carrying amounts of cash, receivables, and current liabilities approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these items. These fair value estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment, and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect these estimates. We do not hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes, nor do we utilize derivative instruments in the management of our foreign exchange, commodity price or interest rate market risks.

Canadian income taxes - Deferred income taxes are reported for timing differences between items of income or expense reported in the financial statements and those reported for income tax purposes in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards number 109 Accounting for Income Taxes, which requires the use of the asset/liability method of accounting for income taxes. Deferred income tax expenses and benefits are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, and for tax loss and credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The Company provides deferred taxes for the estimated future tax effects attributable to temporary differences and carryforwards when realization is more likely than not.

Net income per share of common stock – We follow FASB Statements pertaining to Earnings per Share, which require presentation of basic and diluted EPS on the face of the income statement for all entities with complex capital structures and requires a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic EPS computation to the numerator and denominator of the diluted EPS computation. In the accompanying financial statements, basic earnings per share of common stock is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Because we experienced an operating loss during the period, the calculation of diluted earnings per share did not include the warrants described in Note 5, below, as the calculation would have been antidilutive.

Note 2 – Future operations:

At July 31, 2006, we were not currently engaged in an operating business and expect to incur development stage operating losses until we commence operations and implement our business plan. We intend to rely on our officers and directors to perform essential functions without compensation until a business operation can be commenced. Management believes we have sufficient capital to implement our business plan and to complete a stock offering (see Note 3 below), and thus will continue as a going concern during this period while the plans are implemented. For the year ended July 31, 2006, $10,000 was recorded as contributed capital for the value of management services contributed by the officers and directors for which no payment was made or shares were issued. For the year ended July 31, 2005, nothing was recorded, as the amount was not considered material to the statements.

Note 3 – Commitments:

We have engaged a financial consulting firm to assist us in filing a registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to allow us to offer stock for sale to the public. We believe that doing this will enable us to raise the capital necessary to implement our business plan. Our financial consultant agreed to perform the services necessary to file a Form F-1 with the SEC, and to file with NASD to obtain an over-the-counter bulletin board listing, for a fixed fee of $9,000, payable as prescribed milestones are met. Additional compensation of $3,000 and 25,000 shares of common stock are due upon the consultant’s successful efforts in placing us with a market maker. Through July 31, 2006, $7,000 had been paid to the firm under the agreement.

These and other related costs are being deferred until the stock offering is completed, at which time they will be charged against the proceeds of the stock offering.

The Form F-1 became effective August 17, 2005, and the OTCBB listing became effective on November 13, 2006. Accordingly, additional payments of $5,000 in cash and 25,000 shares of our common stock will be made after July 31, 2006.

Note 4 - Canadian income tax:

We follow Statement of Financial Accounting Standards Number 109 (SFAS 109), Accounting for Income Taxes. Deferred income taxes reflect the net effect of (a) temporary difference between carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial purposes and the amounts used for income tax reporting purposes, and (b) net operating loss carryforwards. No net provision for Canadian income tax has been made in the accompanying statement of operations because no recoverable taxes were paid previously. Similarly, no deferred tax asset attributable to the net operating loss carryforward has been recognized, as it is not deemed likely to be realized.

The provision for refundable Canadian income tax consists of the following:

      Year Ended     Year Ended  
      July 31,     July 31,  
      2006     2005  
  Refundable Canadian income tax attributable to:            
   Current operations $ 8,000   $ 4,400  
   Nondeductible expenses   (3,400 )   -  
   Less, Change in valuation allowance   (4,600 )   (4,400 )
       Net refundable amount $  -   $  -  

The cumulative tax effect at the expected rate of 34% of significant items comprising our net deferred tax amount as of July 31, 2006 is as follows:

       Net deferred tax asset $  -   $  -  

At July 31, 2006, we had an unused net operating loss carryover approximating $27,200 that is available to offset future taxable income; it expires beginning in 2024.

Note 5 – Issuance of shares and warrants:

As of July 31, 2006, the Company had issued shares of its Class A, voting, no par value common stock as follows:

      Price Per  
Date Description Shares Price Per Share Amount
07/19/04 Shares issued for cash and software 13,990,000 $0.000000715 $10

07/23/04 Shares issued for cash 1,300,000 $0.02 26,000
07/26/04 Shares issued for cash 625,000 $0.02 12,500
07/28/04 Shares issued for cash 200,000 $0.02 4,000
07/31/05 Cumulative Totals 18,000,000   $80,010

* Restricted shares issued to officers of the Company were subscribed and issued at July 31, 2004, but not paid. The subscriptions were fully paid on September 9, 2004. Pursuant to EITF Abstract 85-1, the issuance of the shares has been recorded at July 31, 2004. In connection with the issuance of these shares, we also received an exclusive software license for a divorced-parent, child-time-management software concept. We have determined that the software license had no fair value at the time of issuance. Moreover, SEC rules dictate that transfers of nonmonetary assets to a company by its promoters or shareholders in exchange for stock prior to or at the time of the company's initial public offering should be recorded at the transferors' historical cost basis determined under generally accepted accounting principles. Therefore, since the shareholders had no cost basis in the license, capital stock has been credited only in the amount of the cash received.

In connection with the sale of 4,000,000 shares for cash noted above, we also issued 4,000,000 warrants to the same purchaser. The warrants became effective on August 17, 2005, concurrent with the effective date of the Form F-1 that we filed, and expired one year later. They allowed the holder to purchase 1 share of common stock for each 2 warrants tendered, at a price of $0.10 per share. Under certain circumstances, based on the performance of our stock on the open market, we could have redeemed the warrants for $0.0001 per share. At the time of issuance, management determined that the warrants did not have any fair market value. None of the warrants were exercised by August 17, 2006.

We are also authorized to issue an unlimited number of Class B voting common shares, Class C non-voting common shares, and Class D non-voting common shares, and 5,000,000 shares of Class E non-voting preferred shares. None of these other classes of shares had been issued at the date of the financial statements.

in determining the award to be made, shall be determined from time to time by the Administrator(s), in their sole discretion, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 8 below, from among those eligible, which may be based upon information furnished to the Administrator(s) by the Company's management; and the Administrator(s) shall determine, in their sole discretion, the number of shares to be covered by each Stock Award and option granted to each Director, employee or consultant selected.


7.

Duration of this Plan.  


No award or Option may be granted under this Plan after more than ten (10) years from the earlier of the date this Plan is adopted by the Board.


8.

Terms and Conditions of Stock Options.  


Options granted under this Plan may be either incentive stock options, as defined in Section 422 of the Code, or Options other than incentive stock options. Each Option shall be subject to all the applicable provisions of this Plan, including the following terms and conditions, and to such other terms and conditions not inconsistent therewith as the Administrator(s) shall determine:


(a)

The Option price per share shall be $0.50USD per share or such other price as may be set by the Board of Directors at the time of each Stock Award issuance or Option grant.


(b)

The exercise of certain Options granted under this Plan may be subject to the attainment of such performance goals, and/or during such period as may be determined by the Administrator(s) and stated in the Agreement.

 

(c)

An Option shall not be exercisable with respect to a fractional share of Common Stock or

with respect to the lesser of fifty (50) shares or the full number of shares then subject to the Option. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon the exercise of an Option. If a fractional share of Common Stock shall become subject to an Option by reason of a stock dividend or otherwise, the Optionee shall not be entitled to exercise the Option with respect to such fractional share.


(d)

Each Option shall state whether it will or will not be treated as an incentive stock option.


(e)

Each Option will be deemed exercised on the day written notice specifying the number of

shares to be purchased, accompanied by payment in full including, if required by law, applicable taxes, is received by the Company. Payment, except as provided in the Agreement shall be:


(i)

in United States dollars by check or bank draft, or


(i)

by tendering to the Company shares of Common Stock already owned for at

least six months by the person exercising the Option, which may include shares received as the result of a prior exercise of an Option, and having an aggregate fair market value, on the date on which the Option is exercised,  equal to the total cash exercise price applicable to the Options being exercised, or


(iii)

by a combination of United States dollars and shares of Common Stock valued as aforesaid.


For purposes of this Plan, fair market value shall be the mean between the highest and lowest prices at which the Common Stock is traded on a national securities exchange or an automated securities quotation exchange on the relevant date, provided however, if there is no sale of the Common Stock on such exchange on such date, fair market value shall be the mean between the bid and asked prices on such exchange at the close of the market on such date. No Optionee shall have any rights to dividends or other





5





right of a shareholder with respect to shares of Common Stock subject to his or her Option until he or she has given written notice of exercise of such Option and paid in full for such shares.


(f)

 Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrator(s) may, in their sole discretion, include in the Agreement a provision to allow for the cashless exercise of any Options granted by such Agreement under this Plan.


(g)

The Administrator(s) may, in their discretion, include in the grant of any Option the right of a grantee (hereinafter referred to as a “stock appreciation right”) to elect, in the manner described below, in lieu of exercising his or her Option for all or a portion of the shares of Common Stock covered by such Option, to relinquish his or her Option for all or a portion of the such shares and to receive from the Company a payment equal in value to (x) the fair market value, as determined in accordance with Section 8(e), of a share of Common Stock on the date of such election, multiplied by the number of shares as to which the grantee shall have made such election, less (y) the exercise price for that number of shares of Common Stock for which the grantee shall have made such election under the terms of such Option.  A stock appreciation right shall be exercisable at the time the tandem option is exercisable, and the “expiration date” for the stock appreciation right shall be the amount described in (x) above exceeds the amount described in (y) above.  An election to exercise stock appreciation rights shall be deemed to have been made on the day written notice of such election, addressed to the Administrator(s), is received by the Company.  An Option or any portion thereof with respect to which a grantee has elected to exercise a stock appreciation right shall be surrendered to the Company and such Option shall thereafter remain exercisable according to its terms only with respect to the number of shares as to which it would otherwise be exercisable, less the number of shares with respect to which stock appreciation rights have been exercised.  The grant of a stock appreciation right shall be evidenced by an Agreement.  The Agreement evidencing stock appreciation rights shall be personal and will provide that the stock appreciation rights will not be transferable by the grantee otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution and that they will be exercisable, during the lifetime of the grantee, only by him or her.


(h)

 Except as provided in the applicable Agreement, an Option may be exercised only if at all times during the period beginning with the date of the granting of the Option and ending on the date of such exercise, the grantee was a consultant or employee of either the Company (or of a division) or subsidiary of the Company or of another corporation referred to in Section 421(a)(2) of the Code. The Agreement shall provide whether, and to what extent, an Option may be exercised after termination of continuous employment, but any such exercise shall in no event be later than the termination date of the Option. If the grantee should die, or become permanently disabled as determined by the Administrator(s) at any time when the Option, or any portion thereof, shall be exercisable, the Option will be exercisable within a period provided for in the Agreement, by the Optionee or person or persons to whom his or her rights under the Option shall have passed by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, but in no event at a date later than the termination of the Option. The Administrator(s) may require medical evidence of permanent disability, including medical examinations by physicians selected by it.


(i)

Each Option by its terms shall be personal and shall not be transferable by the Optionee otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.  During the lifetime of an Optionee, the Option shall be exercisable only by the Optionee. In the event any Option is exercised by the executors, administrators, heirs or distributees of the estate of a deceased Optionee as provided in Section 8(h) above, the Company shall be under no obligation to issue Common Stock thereunder unless and until the Company is satisfied that the person or persons exercising the Option are the duly appointed legal representatives of the deceased Optionee’s estate or the proper legatees or distributes thereof.


(j)

No incentive stock option shall be granted to an employee  who owns or would be treated as owning by attribution under Code Section 424(d) immediately before the grant of such incentive stock option, directly or indirectly, stock possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company. This restriction shall not apply if, (i) at the time such incentive stock option is granted, the Option price is at least 110% of the fair market value of the shares of Common Stock subject to the Option, as determined in accordance with Section 8(e) on the date of grant, and (ii) the





6





incentive stock option by its terms is not exercisable after the expiration of five years from the date of its grant.


(k)

An Option and any Common Stock received upon the exercise of an Option shall be subject to such other transfer restriction and/or legending requirements as are specified in the applicable Agreement.


(l)

No Options or Stock Awards shall be made to any consultant in exchange for or as compensation for capital raising, investor relations or stock promotion.


(m)

Any Options or Stock Awards that are made to any Directors shall be held in trust by the Company until such issuance or issuances are approved by shareholders of the Company holding no less than a majority of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock at the time of such approval.


9.

Terms and Conditions of Restricted Stock Awards.   


Awards of restricted stock under this Plan shall be subject to all the applicable provisions of this Plan, including the following terms and conditions, and to such other terms and conditions not inconsistent therewith, as the Administrator(s) shall determine:


(a)

Awards of restricted stock may be in addition to or in lieu of Option grants.  Awards may be conditioned on the attainment of particular performance goals based on criteria established by the Administrator(s) at the time of each award of restricted stock. During a period set forth in the Agreement (the "Restriction Period"), the recipient shall not be permitted to sell, transfer, pledge, or otherwise encumber the shares of restricted stock; except that such shares may be used, if the Agreement permits, to pay the option price pursuant to any Option granted under this Plan, provided an equal number of shares delivered to the Optionee shall carry the same restrictions as the shares so used.


(b)

Shares of restricted stock shall become free of all restrictions if during the Restriction Period, (i) the recipient dies, (ii) the recipient's directorship, employment, or consultancy terminates by reason of permanent disability, as determined by the Administrator(s), (iii) the recipient retires after attaining both 59 1/2 years of age and five years of continuous service with the Company and/or a division or subsidiary, or (iv) if provided in the Agreement, there is a "change in control" of the Company (as defined in such Agreement).  The Administrator(s) may require medical evidence of permanent disability, including medical examinations by physicians selected by it.


(c)

Unless and to the extent otherwise provided in the Agreement, shares of restricted stock shall be forfeited and revert to the Company upon the recipient's termination of directorship, employment or consultancy during the Restriction Period for any reason other than death, permanent disability, as determined by the Administrator(s), retirement after attaining both 59 1/2 years of age and five years of continuous service with the Company and/or a subsidiary or division, or, to the extent provided in the Agreement, a "change in control" of the Company (as defined in such Agreement), except to the extent the Administrator(s), in their sole discretion, finds that such forfeiture might not be in the best interests of the Company and, therefore, waives all or part of the application of this provision to the restricted stock held by such recipient.

  

(d)

Stock certificates for restricted stock shall be registered in the name of the recipient but shall be appropriately legended and returned to the Company by the recipient, together with a stock power endorsed in blank by the recipient. The recipient shall be entitled to vote shares of restricted stock and shall be entitled to all dividends paid thereon, except that dividends paid in Common Stock or other property shall also be subject to the same restrictions.


(e)

Restricted Stock shall become free of the foregoing restrictions upon expiration of the applicable Restriction Period and the Company shall then deliver to the recipient Common Stock certificates evidencing such stock.





7





(f)

Restricted stock and any Common Stock received upon the expiration of the restriction period shall be subject to such other transfer restrictions and/or legending requirements as are specified in the applicable Agreement.


10.

Bonuses and Past Salaries and Fees Payable in Stock.


(a)

In lieu of cash bonuses otherwise payable under the Company’s or applicable division’s or subsidiary’s compensation practices to Directors, officers, employees and consultants eligible to participate in this Plan, the Administrator(s), in their sole discretion, may determine that such bonuses shall be payable in Common Stock or partly in Common Stock and partly in cash. Such bonuses shall be in consideration of services previously performed and as an incentive toward future services and shall consist of shares of Common Stock which shall be free trading unless otherwise determined by the Administrator(s) in their sole discretion. The number of shares of Common Stock payable in lieu of a bonus otherwise payable shall be determined by dividing such bonus amount by the fair market value of one share of Common Stock on the date the bonus is payable, plus ten percent with fair market value determined as of such date in accordance with Section 8(e).


(b)

In lieu of salaries and fees otherwise payable by the Company to Directors, officers, employees and consultants eligible to participate in this Plan that were incurred for services rendered at any time to the Company, in the event such Directors, officers, employees or consultants elect, the Administrator(s) may provide that such unpaid salaries and fees shall be payable in Common Stock or partly in Common Stock and partly in cash. Such awards shall be in consideration of services previously performed and as an incentive toward future services and shall consist of shares of Common Stock subject to such terms as the Administrator(s) may determine in their sole discretion. The number of shares of Common Stock payable in lieu of salaries and fees otherwise payable shall be determined by the Administrator.  


11.

Change in Control.  


Each Agreement may, in the sole discretion of the Administrator(s), provide that any or all of the following actions may be taken upon the occurrence of a change in control (as defined in the Agreement) with respect to the Company:


(a)

acceleration of time periods for purposes of vesting in, or realizing gain from, or exercise of any outstanding Option or stock appreciation right or shares of restricted stock awarded pursuant to this Plan;


(b)

offering to purchase any outstanding Option or stock appreciation right or shares of restricted stock made pursuant to this Plan from the holder for its equivalent cash value, as determined by the Administrator(s), as of the date of the change in control; or


(c)

making adjustments or modifications to outstanding Options or stock appreciation rights or with respect to restricted stock as the Administrator(s) deems appropriate to maintain and protect the rights and interests of the Participants following such change in control, provided, however, that the exercise period of any option may not be extended beyond 10 years from the date of grant.


12.

Transfer, Leave of Absence.  


For purposes of this Plan:


(a)

transfer of an employee from the Company the division or subsidiary of the Company,

whether or not incorporated, or vice versa, or from one division or subsidiary of the Company to another, and


(b)

a leave of absence, duly authorized in writing by the Company or a subsidiary or division of the Company, shall not be deemed a termination of employment.





8





13.

Rights of Directors, Employees and Consultants.  


(a)

No person shall have any rights or claims under this Plan except in accordance with the

provisions of this Plan and each Agreement.


(b)

Nothing contained in this Plan and Agreement shall be deemed to give any Director,

employee or consultant the right to continued employment by the Company or its divisions or subsidiaries.


14.

Withholding Taxes.


The Company shall require a payment from a Participant to cover applicable withholding for income and employment taxes upon the happening of any event pursuant to this Plan which requires such withholding. The Company reserves the right to offset such tax payment from any funds which may be due the Participant from the Company or its subsidiaries or divisions or, in its discretion, to the extent permitted by applicable law, to accept such tax payment through the delivery of shares of Common Stock owned by the Participant or by utilizing shares of the Common Stock which were to be delivered to the Participant pursuant to this Plan, having an aggregate fair market value, determined as of the date of payment, equal to the amount of the payment due.


15.

Adjustments.  


In the event of stock dividends, stock splits, recapitalizations, mergers, consolidations, combinations, exchanges of shares, spin-offs, liquidations, reclassifications or other similar changes in the capitalization of the Company, the number of shares of Common Stock available for grant under this Plan shall be adjusted appropriately by the Board, and, where deemed appropriate, the number of shares covered by outstanding stock options and stock appreciation rights outstanding and the number of shares of restricted stock outstanding, and the option price of outstanding stock options, shall be similarly adjusted. If another corporation or other business entity is acquired by the Company, and the Company has assumed outstanding employee option grants under a prior existing plan of the acquired entity, similar adjustments are permitted at the discretion of the Administrator(s). In the event of any other change affecting the shares of Common Stock available for awards under this Plan, such adjustment, if any, as may be deemed equitable by the Administrator(s), shall be made to preserve the intended benefits of this Plan giving proper effect to such event.


16.

Miscellaneous Provisions.


(a)

This Plan shall be unfunded.  The Company shall not be required to establish any special

or separate fund or to make any other segregation of assets to assure the issuance of shares or the payment of cash upon exercise of any option or stock appreciation right under this Plan. The expenses of this Plan shall be borne by the Company.


(b)

The Administrator(s) may, at any time and from time to time after the granting of an

Option or the award of restricted stock or bonuses payable in Common Stock hereunder, specify such additional terms, conditions and restrictions with respect to such Option or stock as may be deemed necessary or appropriate to ensure compliance with any and all applicable laws, including, but not limited to, the Code, federal and state securities laws and methods of withholding or providing for the payment of required taxes.


(c)  

If at any time the Administrator(s) shall determine in its discretion that the listing, registration or qualification of shares of Common Stock upon any national securities exchange or under any state or federal law, or the consent or approval of any governmental regulatory body, is necessary or desirable as a condition of, or in connection with, the sale or purchase of shares of Common Stock hereunder, no Option or stock appreciation right may be exercised or restricted stock or stock bonus may be transferred in whole or in part unless and until such listing registration, qualification, consent or approval





9





shall have been effected or obtained, or otherwise provided for, free of any conditions not acceptable to the Administrator(s).


(d)

By accepting any benefit under this Plan, each Participant and each person claiming under or through such Participant shall be conclusively deemed to have indicated his acceptance and ratification, and consent to, any action taken under this Plan by the Administrator(s), the Company or the Board.


(e)

This Plan shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Company’s state of incorporation.


(f)

Administrator(s) members exercising their functions under this Plan are serving as

directors of the Company and they shall therefore be entitled to all rights of indemnification and advancement of expenses accorded directors of the Company.


17.

Limits of Liability.


(a)

Any liability of the Company or a subsidiary of the Company to any Participant with respect to any option or award shall be based solely upon contractual obligations created by this Plan and Agreement.


(b)

Neither the Company nor a division or subsidiary of the Company, nor any member of the Administrator(s) or the Board, nor any other person participating in any determination of any question under this Plan, or in the interpretation, administration or application of this Plan, shall have any liability to any party for any action taken or not taken in connection with this Plan, except as may expressly be provided by statute.


18.

Amendments and Termination.  


The Board may, at any time, amend, alter or discontinue this Plan; provided, however, no amendment, alteration or discontinuation shall be made which would impair the rights of any holder of an award of restricted stock, Option, stock appreciation rights or stock bonus theretofore granted, without his or her written consent, or which, without the approval of the shareholders would:


(a)

except as provided in Section 15, increase the maximum number of shares of Common

Stock which may be issued under this Plan;


(b)

except as provided in Section 15, decrease the option price of an Option (and related

stock appreciation rights, if any) to less than 100% of the fair market value (as determined in accordance with Section 8(e)) of a share of Common Stock on the date of the granting of the Option (and related stock appreciation rights, if any);


(c)

materially change the class of persons eligible to receive an award of restricted stock or

Options or stock appreciation rights under this Plan;


(d)

extend the duration of this Plan; or


(e)

materially increase in any other way the benefits accruing to Participants.


19.

Duration.


This Plan shall be adopted by the Board and approved by the Company’s shareholders and such regulatory bodies as may in each case be necessary, which approvals, if required, must occur either before, or no later than the period ending twelve months after the date, this Plan is adopted. Subject to such approvals, grants and awards may be made under this Plan between the date of its adoption and receipt of





10





such approvals. This Plan shall terminate upon the earlier of the following dates or events to occur:


(a)

upon the adoption of a resolution of the Board terminating this Plan;


(b)

the date all shares of Common Stock subject to this Plan are purchased according to this

Plan’s provisions; or


(c)

ten years from the date of adoption of this Plan by the Board.


No such termination of this Plan shall adversely affect the rights of any Participant hereunder and all Options or stock appreciation rights previously granted and restricted stock and stock bonuses awarded hereunder shall continue in force and in operation after the termination of this Plan, except as they may be otherwise terminated in accordance with the terms of this Plan.


20.

Other Compensation Plans.



This Plan shall not be deemed to preclude the implementation by the Company or its divisions or subsidiaries of other compensation plans which may be in effect from time to time, nor adversely affect any rights of Participants under any other compensation plans of the Company or its divisions or subsidiaries.


21.

Non-Transferability.  


No right or interest in any award granted under this Plan shall be assignable or transferable, except as set forth in this Plan and required by law, and no right or interest of any participant in any award shall be liable for, or subject to, any lien, obligation or liability except as set forth in this Plan or as required by law.
