&lt;p style="font: 10pt/normal Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 8pt"&gt;In May
2013, Victory adopted the 2013 Stock Option Plan (the &amp;#147;Plan&amp;#148;) which is intended to advance the interest of the Company&amp;#146;s
shareholders by enhancing the company&amp;#146;s ability to attract, retain, and motivate persons who make (or are expected to make)
important contributions to the Company. The maximum aggregate number of shares of the Victory&amp;#146;s common stock that may be
issued under the Plan is 10,000,000 shares.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/normal Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 8pt"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/normal Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 8pt"&gt;On June
25, 2013, Victory granted an aggregate of 6,200,000 stock options to purchase Victory common stock to directors, officers and
certain employees and consultants. The options are exercisable at $0.25 per share for a period of 5 years from the date of grant.
Options to purchase 200,000 shares vested immediately, options to purchase the additional 6,000,000 shares vest 50% at the end
of December 31, 2013 and 50% at the end of December 31, 2014. As of June 30, 2013, there was approximately $108,000 of total unrecognized
compensation expense related to the options granted. These costs are expected to be recognized over a period of 1.5 years. The
options were valued using the Black-Sholes option pricing model. In order to calculate the fair value of the options, certain
assumptions are made regarding components of the model including the estimated fair value of underlying common stock, risk&amp;#150;free
interest rate, volatility, expected dividend yield and expected option life. Changes to the assumptions could cause significant
adjustment to the valuation. The options were valued on their grant date at $.018 per option based on the assumptions used. Total
vested options included in compensation expense for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, were $3,600 and $0 respectively.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/normal Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 8pt"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
