STOCK OPTION AND RESTRICTED STOCK PLANS


In August 1999, the Company adopted a stock option and restricted stock plan (the "1999 Plan") which provides that non-qualified options and incentive stock options and restricted stock covering an aggregate of 1,000,000 shares of the Company's unissued common stock may be granted to affiliates, employees or consultants of the Company. As of January 1, of each calendar year, commencing January 1, 2000, this amount is subject to automatic annual increases equal to the lesser of 1.5% of the total number of outstanding common shares, assuming conversion of convertible securities, or 500,000 shares. The 1999 plan expired in November 2009. Options granted under the 1999 Plan were granted at prices not less than 80% of the then fair market value of the common stock and expired not more than 10 years after the date of grant.


In August 2010, the Company adopted a stock option and restricted stock plan (the "2010 Plan") which provides that non-qualified options and incentive stock options and restricted stock covering an aggregate of 850,000 shares of the Company's unissued common stock may be granted to affiliates, employees or consultants of the Company. This plan was approved by shareholders in December 2010.  The 2010 Plan expires in December 2020. Options granted under the 2010 Plan will be granted at prices not less than 80% of the then fair market value of the common stock and will expire not more than 10 years after the date of grant.


In December 2014, the Company adopted a stock option and restricted stock plan (the "2014 Plan") which provides that non-qualified options and incentive stock options and restricted stock covering an aggregate of 850,000 shares of the Company's unissued common stock may be granted to affiliates, employees or consultants of the Company. This plan was approved by shareholders in December 2014.  The 2014 Plan expires in December 2024. Options granted under the 2014 Plan will be granted at prices not less than 80% of the then fair market value of the common stock and will expire not more than 10 years after the date of grant.
