MEETINGS AND COMMITTEES OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS


The business of the Corporation is managed under the direction of the Board of Directors.  The Board of Directors meets on a regular basis to review significant developments affecting the Corporation and to act on matters requiring Board approval.  All matters that require Board approval are acted on either by unanimous written consent of the Board or by a majority at Board meetings.  The Board of Directors did not hold any meetings during the fiscal year ended May 31, 2007 .  The Board of Directors acted by unanimous written consent two (2) times during the fiscal year ended  May 31st, 2007


The Corporation does not have a nominating committee because the Corporation has to date been a small business issuer traded on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board and the Board of Directors felt  it was not necessary to have a separate nominating committee.  The functions customarily attributable to this committee are performed by the Board of Directors.  At this time, the Board does not have a formal policy with regard to the consideration of any director candidates recommended by the Corporation shareholders because historically the Corporation has not received recommendations from its shareholders and the costs of establishing and maintaining procedures for the consideration of shareholder nominations would be unduly burdensome.


Qualifications for consideration as a Board nominee may vary according to the particular areas of expertise being sought as a complement to the existing Board composition.  However, in making its nominations, the Board of Directors considers, among other things, an individual’s business experience, industry experience, financial background, breadth of knowledge about issues affecting the Corporation, time available for meetings and consultation regarding Corporation matters and other particular skills and experience possessed by the individual.


COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS


The Corporation has made no arrangements for the remuneration of its directors except that they will be entitled to receive reimbursement for actual, demonstrable out-of-pocket expenses, including travel expenses, if any, made on the Corporation’s behalf.  No remuneration has been paid to the Corporation’s officers or directors for services to date.


There were no stock options granted to officers or directors of the Corporation during the fiscal year ended May 31st, 2007.


Currently, we do not offer any annuity, pension or retirement benefits to be paid to any of our officers, directors or employees, in the event of retirement.  There are also no compensatory plans or arrangements with respect to any individual named above which results or will result from the resignation, retirement or any other termination of employment with our Corporation, or from a change in the control of our Corporation.


The Corporation does not compensate the directors for their time spent on behalf of our Corporation, but the directors are entitled to receive reimbursement for all out of pocket expenses incurred for attendance at the Board of Directors meetings.


The following table sets forth information for the individuals who served as the senior executive officer of the Corporation during any portion of the last two (2) fiscal years and executive officers or key employees, other than the CEO, whose total annual salary and bonus for the last completed fiscal year exceeded one hundred thousand ($100,000) dollars.

On May 15, 2008, Sun World Partners Inc. (“we”, “us”, “our” or “Sun World”) finalized the execution of an acquisition agreement dated April 22, 2008 (the “Acquisition Agreement”) between Sun World, H Pay Card Inc.(“H Pay”), Tiempo de Mexico Ltd. (“Tiempo”), Kimberley Coonfer (“Coonfer”), Caribbean Overseas Investments Ltd. (“Caribbean”) and the stockholders of H Pay (the “H Pay Stockholders”).  Under the terms of the Acquisition Agreement, we agreed to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of H Pay resulting in H Pay,becoming a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Sun World.  Upon the acquisition of H Pay by Sun World, we agreed to issue to the shareholders of H Pay an aggregate of 12,000,000 shares of the common stock of Sun World.  Addition terms under the Acquisition Agreement provide for all of the issued and outstanding shares of our subsidiary, Tiempo (the “Tiempo Shares”) to be transferred to Coonfer and Caribbean in exchange for the  return to treasury of a total of 5,000,000 common shares of Sun World (the “Cancellation Shares”).  On the closing date, the Cancellation Shares shall be exchanged for the Tiempo Shares and $100,000 of the inter-company debt between Tiempo and Sun World shall be written off on the books of Tiempo and Sun World, and Tiempo shall provide a promissory note for the remaining intercompany debt between Tiempo and Sun World.


Closing of the Acquisition Agreement was scheduled for April 30, 2008, or any other dated that the Parties agreed to in writing (the “Closing Date”).  The closing of this transaction has not been completed and we anticipate the closing will take place on or prior to May 31, 2008.  The Acquisition Agreement is subject to, among other things, the following terms and conditions:


(a)

The satisfactory completion of due diligence investigations by both parties.


(b)

Delivery of audited financials of H Pay required pursuant to applicable securities laws.


Following completion of all of the above conditions on the Closing Date: (i) the Cancellation Shares of Sun World will be exchanged for all of the issued and outstanding shares of Tiempo and the Cancellation Shares will be returned to the treasury of Sun World and the Tiempo shares will be delivered to Coonfer and Caribbean; (ii)  Tiempo will no longer be a subsidiary of Sun World and $100,000 of intercompany debt shall be written off on the books of both Tiempo and Sun World with any remaining debt to be secured by a promissory note from Tiempo to Sun World; (iii)  H Pay will be acquired by Sun World and Sun World will be the sole shareholder of H Pay; and (iv) H Pay Stockholders will receive an aggregate of 12,000,000 shares of Sun World’s common stock representing 78.7% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company.  The closing of this transaction will effect a change in control of Sun World.


Following the completion of the acquisition of H Pay, we will be engaged in the business of the development, distribution, marketing and sale of health payment processing products and services.

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 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)






4







(ii)

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 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.





5








(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 Optio n 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 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:





6








(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.


(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





7







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 avai lable 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.





9








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


(a)

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.


(b)

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.

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);





10








(c)

materially change the class of persons eligible to receive an award of restricted stock or Options or stock appreciation rights under this Plan;

20.

Other Compensation Plans

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.
