Only stockholders of record at the close of business on August 5, 2011 (the “Record Date”) are entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting. As of the Record Date, there were issued and outstanding  42,312,088 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), the Company’s only class of voting securities. Each share of Common Stock entitles the holder thereof to cast one vote on each matter submitted to a vote at the Annual Meeting.
 
 
At the Annual Meeting, provided a quorum is present, the nominees for election as directors, receiving the greatest number of votes cast whether in person, or represented by proxy, up to the number of directors to be elected, which is five, will be elected as directors of the Company. All other matters to come before the Annual Meeting will be decided by the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of Common Stock present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on the matter presented in person or by proxy, provided a quorum is present. A quorum is present if at least a majority of the shares of Common Stock outstanding as of the Record Date are present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting. It is currently anticipated that votes will be counted and certified by an Inspector of Election who is currently expected to be either an employee of the Company or its transfer agent. In accordance with Delaware law, abstentions and “broker non-votes” (i.e. proxies from brokers or nominees indicating that such persons have not received instructions from the beneficial owner or other persons entitled to vote shares as to a matter with respect to which the brokers or nominees do not have discretionary power to vote) will be treated as present for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum. For purposes of determining approval of a matter presented at the meeting, abstentions will be deemed present and entitled to vote and will, therefore, have the same legal effect as a vote “against” a matter presented at the meeting if the matter requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of Common Stock present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on such matter. Broker non-votes will be deemed not entitled to vote on the subject matter as to which the non-vote is indicated. Broker non-votes will have no legal effect on the vote on the election of directors.
 
 
The enclosed proxies will be voted in accordance with the instructions thereon. Unless otherwise stated, all shares represented by such proxy will be voted as instructed. Any proxy given pursuant to this solicitation may be revoked by the person giving it at any time before its use by delivering to the Secretary of the Company a written notice of revocation or a duly executed proxy bearing a later date. Any stockholder who has executed a proxy but is present at the Annual Meeting, and who wishes to vote in person, may do so by revoking his or her proxy as described in the preceding sentence. Shares represented by valid proxies in the form enclosed, received in time for use at the Annual Meeting and not revoked at or prior to the Annual Meeting, will be voted at the Annual Meeting.
 
The entire cost of soliciting proxies, including the costs of preparing, assembling, printing and mailing this Proxy Statement, the proxy and any additional soliciting material furnished to stockholders, will be borne by the Company. Arrangements will be made with brokerage houses, banks and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries to send proxies and proxy materials to the beneficial owners of stock, and the Company expects to reimburse such persons for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses. Proxies may also be solicited by directors, officers or employees of the Company in person or by telephone, telegram or other means. No additional compensation will be paid to such individuals for these services.

At this year’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders, five (5) directors will be re-elected to the Board of Directors, which number will constitute the entire Board. Each director will be elected to a one-year term and will hold office until the 2012 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and until his successor has been duly elected and qualified or until his earlier death, resignation or removal. It is the intention of the Board of Directors to nominate Jonathan Bettsack, Gadi Peleg, Alon Raich, David W. Sass and Pierre L. Schoenheimer as directors.
 
At this year’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the proxies granted by stockholders will be voted individually for the election, as directors of the Company, of the persons listed below, unless a proxy specifies that it is not to be voted in favor of a nominee for director. In the event any of the nominees listed below shall be unable to serve, it is intended that the proxy will be voted for such other nominees as are designated by the Board of Directors. Each of the persons named below has indicated to the Board of Directors that he will be available to serve.
 
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT SHAREHOLDERS VOTE FOR THE ELECTION OF EACH OF THE NOMINEES SPECIFIED BELOW.
 
The following information is with respect to the nominees for election at this Annual Meeting of Stockholders:

In August 2011, the Board approved a resolution to adopt the InkSure 2011 Employees, Directors and Consultants Stock Plan (the “Stock Plan”).
 
The Board further recommended in its August 2011 resolution, that the Stock Plan be recommended and presented to the stockholders of the Company for their approval and ratification at the next Annual Meeting of the stockholders.

Summary of the Stock Plan

The following summary of the material features of the Stock Plan is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Stock Plan which is filed as Appendix A herewith.

Purposes of the Stock Plan

The purpose of the Stock Plan is to encourage employees, directors and other individuals (whether or not employees) who render services to the Company and its subsidiaries to continue their association with the Company and its subsidiaries by providing opportunities for them to participate in the ownership of the Company and in its future growth through the issuance to such persons of restricted shares of Common Stock of the Company (“Restricted Stock”).

Shares Subject to the Stock Plan

The total number of shares of  the Company’s Common Stock that can be issued under the Stock Plan shall be determined from time to time by the Board, provided, however, that such number, together with the number of shares of Common Stock underlying: (i) stock options that may be issued under the InkSure Technologies Inc. 2002 Employee, Director and Consultant Stock Option Plan (the “Stock Option Plan”), and (ii) stock options granted outside the Stock Option Plan, shall not exceed ten million (10,000,000) shares of the Company’s Common Stock. This number shall be subject to adjustment upon certain events in accordance with the provisions of the Stock Plan.

Administration of the Stock Plan

The Stock Plan shall be administered by the Board of Directors of the Company.  The Board shall from time to time determine to whom Restricted Stock shall be issued under the Stock Plan, and the terms and number of shares to be issued to such person. The Board may delegate to the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Committee”), if any, the authority of the Board to make determinations and to take actions described in the Stock Plan, but the authority to issue shares of Restricted Stock under the Stock Plan shall remain with the Board at all times, and the Committee may only make recommendations to the Board in connection with such issuances.

Eligibility for Participation

The individuals who shall be eligible to be issued shares of Restricted Stock under the Stock Plan shall be employees, directors and other individuals who render services to the management, operation or development of the Company or a subsidiary and who have contributed or may be expected to contribute to the success of the Company or a subsidiary (each a “Grantee”).

Terms and Conditions of the Restricted Stock

Upon the issuance of any shares of Restricted Stock to a Grantee, the Grantee shall execute and deliver to the Company a written Restricted Stock Agreement in such form as the Board shall approve from time to time, specifying the number of shares of Restricted Stock that were issued to the Grantee, the consideration, the restrictions on transfer of such Restricted Stock, and the terms under which the Restricted Stock may be released from restriction in whole or in part and such other terms and conditions as the Board shall approve.
 
Each Restricted Stock Agreement shall state: (i) the number of shares of Restricted Stock issued to such Grantee, (ii) an amount of purchase price, if any, to be paid by the Grantee in consideration for the issuance of the Restricted Stock, (iii) the terms of payment of such amount, and (iv) the vesting schedule, if any, for the Restricted Stock.
 
Restricted Stock may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of, except by will or the laws of descent and distribution, for such period as the Board or the Committee shall determine from the issuance date (the "Restricted Period"), and may be subject to repurchase provisions.
 
The Board or the Committee, as applicable, may also impose such additional or alternative restrictions and conditions on the Restricted Stock, as it deems appropriate, including the satisfaction of performance criteria. Certificates for shares issued pursuant to Restricted Stock shall bear an appropriate legend referring to such restrictions, and any attempt to dispose of any such shares in contravention of such restrictions shall be null and void and without effect. Such certificates may, if so determined by the Committee, be held in escrow by an escrow agent appointed by the Board or the Committee, or, if a Restricted Stock is issued pursuant to Section 102 of the Israeli Income Tax Ordinance, as amended, by a Trustee.
 
The Board or the Committee, as applicable, may adjust performance goals to take into account changes in law and accounting and tax rules and to make such adjustments as the Board or the Committee deems necessary or appropriate to reflect the inclusion or the exclusion of the impact of extraordinary or unusual items, events or circumstances. The Board or the Committee, as applicable, may also adjust the performance goals by reducing the amount to be received by any Grantee if and to the extent that the Board or the Committee deems it appropriate.
 
During the Restricted Period the Grantee shall possess all incidents of ownership of such Restricted Stock, including the right to receive dividends with respect to such Restricted Stock. All distributions, if any, received by a Grantee with respect to Restricted Stock as a result of any stock split, stock dividend, combination of shares, or other similar transaction shall be subject to the restrictions applicable to the original stock award.
 
Issuance of Restricted Stock

The issuance of Restricted Stock under the Stock Plan shall be made by action of the Board at a meeting at which a quorum of its members is present, or by unanimous written consent of all its members.

Effective Date, Duration, Amendment and Termination of the Stock Plan

The Stock Plan is effective as of August 4, 2011, subject to ratification by the stockholders within twelve (12) months after such date. Shares of Restricted Stock may be issued prior to such ratification.  The Board may issue Restricted Stock under the Stock Plan from time to time until the close of business on August 4, 2021. The Board may at any time amend the Stock; provided, however, that without approval of the Board, or if applicable, the Company’s stockholders, there shall be no:  (a) change in the number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued under the Stock Plan; (b) change in the class of persons eligible to receive Restricted Stock; or (c) other change in the Stock Plan that requires the Board’s or the Company’s stockholder approval under applicable law.  The Plan may be terminated at any time by action of the Board, but any such termination will not terminate any shares of Restricted Stock then outstanding.

U.S. Tax Treatment

To the extent required by law, the Company shall withhold or cause to be withheld income and other taxes with respect to any income recognized by a Grantee by reason of issuance of Restricted Stock or by reason of the vesting of Restricted Stock, and as a condition for the issuance of any Restricted Stock by the Company, the Grantee shall agree that if the amount payable to him by the Company or any subsidiary in the ordinary course is insufficient to pay such taxes, then he shall upon the request of the Company pay to the Company an amount sufficient to satisfy its tax withholding obligations. Without limiting the foregoing, the Board may in its sole discretion permit any Grantee’s withholding obligation to be paid in whole or in part in the form of shares of Common Stock of the Company, by withholding from the shares to be issued or by accepting delivery from the Grantee of shares already owned by him.
 
Under current federal income tax law, persons receiving common stock pursuant to a grant of restricted stock generally will recognize ordinary income equal to the excess of the fair market value of the shares received over the purchase price, if any. We generally will be entitled to a corresponding federal income tax deduction. When such stock is sold, the seller generally will recognize capital gain or loss based on the excess of the fair market value of the shares received over the seller's tax basis in the stock.
 
Special rules apply if the stock acquired is subject to vesting or is subject to certain restrictions on resale under federal securities laws applicable to directors, officers, and 10% stockholders.
 
If required by law, Participants must pay withholding taxes or agree to have such taxes withheld by transferring shares or allowing shares to be withheld, if allowed by law.
 
Israeli Tax Treatment
 
The Stock Plan includes an appendix, which governs the issuance of Restricted Stock to Israeli Grantees under Section 102 (“Section 102”) of the Israeli Income Tax Ordinance, as amended. The Company chose the Capital Gain Method (‘Maslul Revach Hon’) under Section 102, which choice may be changed in the future, by a Board resolution and according to the requirements of the Income Tax Ordinance. Under Section 102, all Restricted Stock to Israeli Grantees shall be issued to an Israeli Trustee to be held in Trust for the benefit of the relevant Israeli Grantees for a period of at least 24 months. Assuming the Restricted Stock is held by the Trustee for at least 24 months, under the Capital Gain Method, any gain that arises from the sale of the Restricted Stock by such Grantee will be taxed as follows: (i) the positive difference between the fair market value of the stock on the issue date (as determined according to the Income Tax Ordinance) and the exercise price (if any), will be treated as ordinary income by the Grantee’s and will be subject to the general income and social tax rates, and (ii) any additional gain (i.e. the positive difference between the fair market value of the stock on sale date and the fair market value of the stock on the issue date (as determined according to the Income Tax Ordinance)) will be treated as capital gain and will be subject to a reduced rate that is currently set at a 25%. To the extent that the Restricted Stock is sold or extracted from the trust prior to the end of the 24-month period, the entire amount will be treated as ordinary income by the Grantee and will be subject to income and social tax.
 
Rules Particular to Specific Countries

The terms and conditions of the Stock Plan may be amended with respect to particular types of Grantees as determined by the Board (for example – Israeli employees) by an addendum to the Stock Plan (the “Appendix”). The Company may adopt one or more Appendices. Each Appendix shall be approved by the Board and as required or advisable under applicable law. The terms of an Appendix shall govern only with respect to the types of Grantees specified in such Appendix. In the case that the terms and conditions set forth in an Appendix conflict with any provisions of the Plan, the provisions of the Appendix shall govern with respect to Grantees that are subject to such Appendix, provided, however, that such Appendix shall not be construed to grant the Grantees rights not consistent with the terms of the Plan, unless specifically provided in such Appendix.

SECTION 16(A) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE
 
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), requires our directors and officers, and persons who own more than 10% of our common stock, to file with the SEC initial reports of beneficial ownership and reports of changes in beneficial ownership of the common stock and other equity securities of the Company. Officers, directors and greater than 10% beneficial owners are required by SEC regulation to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.
 
To the Company's  knowledge, based solely on review of the copies of such reports furnished to us and written representations that no other reports were required, during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to our officers, directors and greater than 10% beneficial owners were filed on a timely basis, except the following:
 
Form 4 filed by Pierre L. Schoenheimer on February 1, 2010 for a transaction dated January 22, 2010;
 
Form 4 filed by Gadi Peleg on February 17, 2010 for a transaction dated January 19, 2010;
 
Form 4 filed by Pierre L. Schoenheimer on March 19, 2010 for a transaction dated March 11, 2010;
 
Form 4 filed by Yaron Meerfeld on March 22, 2010 for a transaction dated March 11, 2010;

 The position of Chairman of the Board is held by Gadi Peleg, who is not an executive officer.  As our Common Stock is currently traded on the OTC Bulletin Board, we are not subject to the rules of any national securities exchange which require that a majority of a listed company’s directors and specified committees of the board of directors meet independence standards prescribed by such rules. However, of our five directors currently serving on the Board of Directors, we believe that Gadi Peleg, David W. Sass, Pierre L. Schoenheimer,  Jonathan Bettsack and Alon Raich are independent directors within the meaning of Rule 5605(a)(2) of The NASDAQ Stock Market Inc. listing rules. The Board believes this leadership structure provides effective and clear leadership for the Company.
 
 
During 2010, the Board of Directors held 6 meetings. All of the directors attended at least 75% of the meetings of the Board of Directors and the committees on which he served.  Each of the directors is encouraged to attend the annual stockholder’s meeting.
 
 
Audit Committee. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, we had 6 meetings of our Audit Committee. The Audit Committee currently has three members: Messrs. Alon Raich (Chairman), David W. Saas and Pierre L. Schoenheimer. The Audit Committee recommends to the Company’s Board of Directors to retain or terminate the services of our independent accountants, reviews annual financial statements, considers matters relating to accounting policy and internal controls and reviews the scope of annual audits. All members of the Audit Committee satisfy the current independence standard promulgated by the SEC, as such standards apply specifically to members of audit committees. The Board of Directors has determined that Alon Raich and Pierre L. Schoenheimer are “audit committee financial experts” as the SEC has defined that term in Item 407 of Regulation S-K. The Audit Committee written charter is attached hereto as Appendix B.
 
Compensation Committee. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, there were no meetings of the Compensation Committee. The Board itself handled the functions typically administered by the Compensation Committee. The role of the Compensation Committee is to advise and make recommendations to the Board of Directors relating to the compensation of the Company’s executive officers, administration of all plans of the Company under which Company securities may be acquired by directors, executive officers, employees and consultants and to produce a report, if required, on executive compensation in the Company’s annual proxy statement in accordance with applicable rules and regulations. The current members of our Compensation Committee are Messrs. Gadi Peleg, Pierre L. Schoenheimer and Jonathan Bettsack, all of whom are independent directors. The Committee reports to the Board of Directors which has the final decisions with respect to all such matters. The Compensation Committee written charter is attached hereto as Appendix C.
 
We do not have a standing nominating committee. The Board of Directors has not established a nominating committee primarily because the current composition and size of the Board of Directors permits candid and open discussion regarding potential new members of the Board of Directors. The entire Board of Directors currently operates as the nominating committee for the Company. There is no formal process or policy that governs the manner in which we identify potential candidates for the Board of Directors. Historically, however, the Board of Directors has considered several factors in evaluating candidates for nomination to the Board of Directors, including the candidate's knowledge of the company and its business, the candidate's business experience and credentials, racial and gender diversity, and whether the candidate would represent the interests of all our stockholders as opposed to a specific group of stockholders. We do not have a formal policy with respect to our consideration of Board of Directors nominees recommended by stockholders of the Company. However, the Board of Directors will consider candidates recommended by stockholders on a case-by-case basis. A stockholder who desires to recommend a candidate for nomination to the Board of Directors should do so in writing to the Company at 589 Fifth Avenue, Suite 401, New York, NY 10017, Attn: Chief Financial Officer.

The following table presents fees for professional audit services rendered by BAC for the audit of the company's annual financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 and fees billed for other services rendered by BAC during the same period.

All of the services set forth above in the categories were approved by the Audit Committee pursuant to Rule 2-01(c)(7)(i)(C) (relating to the approval of a de minimis amount of non-audit services after the fact but before completion of the audit).
 
Policy on Audit Committee Pre-Approval of Audit and Permissible Non-Audit Services of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm.
 
Consistent with SEC policies regarding auditor independence, the Audit Committee has responsibility for appointing, setting compensation and overseeing the work of the independent auditor. In recognition of this responsibility, the Audit Committee has established a policy to approve all audit and permissible non-audit services provided by the independent registered public accounting firm.
 
Prior to engagement of the independent registered public accounting firm for the next year's audit, management will submit an estimate of fees for the services expected to be rendered during that year for each of four categories of services to the Audit Committee for approval.
 
 
1.
AUDIT services include audit work performed in the preparation of financial statements, as well as work that generally only the independent registered public accounting firm can reasonably be expected to provide, including comfort letters, statutory audits, and attest services and consultation regarding financial accounting and/or reporting standards.
 
2.
AUDIT-RELATED services are for assurance and related services that are traditionally performed by the independent registered public accounting firm, including due diligence related to mergers and acquisitions, employee benefit plan audits and special procedures required to meet certain regulatory requirements.
 
3.
TAX services include services related to tax compliance, tax planning and tax advice.
 
4.
OTHER FEES are those associated with services not captured in the other categories.
 
Prior to engagement, the Audit Committee pre-approves these services by category of service. The fees are budgeted and the Audit Committee requires the independent registered public accounting firm and management to report actual fees versus the budget periodically throughout the year by category of service. During the year, circumstances may arise when it may become necessary to engage the independent registered public accounting firm for additional services not contemplated in the original pre-approval. In those instances, the Audit Committee requires specific pre-approval before engaging the independent registered public accounting firm.
 
The Audit Committee may delegate pre-approval authority to one or more of its members. The member to whom such authority is delegated must report, for informational purposes only, any pre-approval decisions to the Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting. The Audit Committee pre-approved all the above listed fees in accordance with its policy.
 
AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT
 
In fulfilling its responsibilities for the financial statements for fiscal year 2010, the Audit Committee took the following actions:
 
 
·
Reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 with management and BAC;
 
 
15

 
 
 
·
Discussed with BAC the matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, as amended (AICPA, Professional Standards Vol. 1, AV Section 38), as adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board in Rule 3200T , relating to the conduct of the audit; and
 
 
·
Received written disclosures and the letter from BAC regarding the independent accountant's communications with the Audit Committee regarding independence required by applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board. The Audit Committee further discussed with BAC their independence. The Audit Committee also considered the status of pending litigation, taxation matters and other areas of oversight relating to the financial reporting and audit process that the Committee determined appropriate.
 
Based on the Audit Committee's review of the audited financial statements and discussions with management and BAC, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the audited financial statements be included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 for filing with the SEC.

STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS FOR 2012 ANNUAL MEETING
 
It is currently anticipated that the Company will hold its 2012 Annual Meeting of Stockholders in September, 2012 and would mail the notice of such meeting and related proxy statement to its stockholders in August, 2012.  Stockholders who wish to present proposals appropriate for consideration at our annual meeting of stockholders to be held in the year 2012 must submit the proposal in proper form consistent with our By-laws to us at our address as set forth on the first page of this proxy statement and in accordance with the applicable regulations under Rule 14a-8 of the Exchange Act no later than May 1, 2012 in order for the proposition to be considered for inclusion in our proxy statement and form of proxy relating to such annual meeting. Any such proposals should contain the name and record address of the stockholder, the class and number of shares of our Common Stock beneficially owned as of the record date established for the meeting, a description of, and reasons for, the proposal and all information that would be required to be included in the proxy statement file with the SEC if such stockholder was a participant in the solicitation subject to Section 14 of the Exchange Act. The proposal, as well as any questions related thereto, should be directed to our Secretary.
 
If a stockholder submits a proposal after the May 1, 2012 deadline required under Rule 14a-8 of the Exchange Act but still wishes to present the proposal at our Annual Meeting of Stockholders (but not in our proxy statement) for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2011 to be held in 2012, the proposal, which must be presented in a manner consistent with our By-laws and applicable law, must be submitted to our Secretary in proper form at the address set forth above so that it is received by our Secretary not less than fifty nor more than seventy five days prior to the meeting.
 
With respect to the deadlines discussed above, if the date of the Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held in 2012 is advanced by more than thirty days or delayed (other than as a result of adjournment) by more than thirty days from the anniversary of the Annual Meeting held in 2011, a stockholder must submit any such proposal to the Company no later than the close of business on the sixtieth day prior to the date of the 2012 Annual Meeting.
 
We did not receive notice of any proposed matter to be submitted by stockholders for a vote at this Annual Meeting and, therefore, in accordance with Exchange Act Rule 14a-4(c) any proxies held by persons designated as proxies by our Board of Directors and received in respect of this Annual Meeting will be voted in the discretion of our management on such other matter which may properly come before the Annual Meeting.

OTHER INFORMATION
 
Proxies for the Annual Meeting will be solicited by mail and through brokerage institutions and all expenses involved, including printing and postage, will be paid by us. In addition, arrangements will be made with brokerage houses and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries to send proxies and proxy materials to the beneficial owners of stock, and we may reimburse such persons for their expenses.
 
A copy of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, as filed with the SEC is being mailed with this Proxy Statement to each stockholder of record as of the close of business on August 5, 2011. A stockholder may also request an additional copy of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, as amended, without charge except for exhibits to the report, by writing to InkSure Technologies Inc., 589 Fifth Avenue, Suite 401, New York, NY 10017, Attention: Chief Financial Officer.

The Board of Directors is aware of no other matters, except for those incident to the conduct of the Annual Meeting, that are to be presented to stockholders for formal action at the Annual Meeting. If, however, any other matters properly come before the Annual Meeting or any adjournments thereof, it is the intention of the persons named in the proxy to vote the proxy in accordance with their judgment.

2011 EMPLOYEES, DIRECTORS AND CONSULTANTS
 
STOCK PLAN
 
1.
PURPOSE
 
The purpose of this Inksure Technologies, Inc. 2011 Employees, Directors and Consultants Stock Plan (this “Plan”) is to encourage employees, directors and other individuals (whether or not employees) who render services to Inksure Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) and its Subsidiaries (as hereinafter defined), to continue their association with the Company and its Subsidiaries by providing opportunities for them to participate in the ownership of the Company and in its future growth through the granting to such employees, directors and other individuals (the “Grantees”) of restricted shares of Common Stock of the Company (the “Restricted Stock”).  The term “Subsidiary” as used in this Plan means a corporation or other business entity of which the Company owns, directly or indirectly through an unbroken chain of ownership, fifty percent (50%) or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock, in the case of a corporation, or fifty percent (50%) or more of the total combined interests by value, in the case of any other type of business entity.
 
2.
ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN
 
(a)           The Plan shall be administered by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”).  The Board shall from time to time determine to whom Restricted Stock shall be granted under the Plan, and the terms and number of shares of Restricted Stock to be granted to such Grantee.
 
(b)           The Board may delegate to the Compensation Committee of the Board, if any, (the “Compensation Committee”) the authority of the Board to make determinations and to take actions described in this Plan. For the avoidance of doubt, the authority to issue stock under the Plan (or otherwise) shall remain with the Board at all times, and the Compensation Committee may only make recommendations to the Board in connection with such issuances.  The Board may otherwise delegate to the Compensation Committee the authority to make such determinations and to take such other actions as the Board shall determine in its discretion.  The Compensation Committee shall report to the Board of any such determinations made and actions taken pursuant to such delegated authority and make recommendations to the Board in connection with purported issuance of stock under the Plan.  Should the Board delegate such authority to the Compensation Committee, any reference in this Plan to the “Board” (except in the context of the authority to issue stock) shall refer also to the Compensation Committee.
 
(c)           The Board shall have the authority to adopt, amend and rescind such rules and regulations as, in its opinion, may be advisable in the administration of the Plan.  All questions of interpretation and application of such rules and regulations of the Plan and of Restricted Stock granted hereunder shall be subject to the determination of the Board, which shall be final and binding.
 
(d)           If at any time Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended from time to time (the “Exchange Act”), is applicable to the Company, each member of the Compensation Committee shall be a “non-employee director” or the equivalent within the meaning of Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act and, during any period that Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) is applicable to the Company, an “outside director” within the meaning of Section 162 of the Code and the regulations thereunder.  With respect to persons subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act (“Insiders”), transactions under the Plan are intended to comply with all applicable conditions of Rule 16b-3 or its successor under the Exchange Act.  To the extent any provision of the Plan or action by the Board or Compensation Committee fails to so comply, it shall be deemed to be modified so as to be in compliance with such Rule or, if such modification is not possible, it shall be deemed to be null and void, to the extent permitted by law and deemed advisable by the Board or Compensation Committee.
 
 
 

 
 
3.
STOCK SUBJECT TO THE PLAN
 
The total number of shares  of the Company’s Common Stock, $.01 par value per share (the “Common Stock”) that may be subject to Restricted Stock grants under the Plan shall be determined from time to time by the Board, provided, however, that such number, together with the number of shares of Common Stock underlying: (i) stock options that may be issued under the InkSure Technologies, Inc. 2002 Employee, Director and Consultant Stock Option Plan (the “Stock Option Plan”), and (ii) stock options granted outside the Stock Option Plan, shall not exceed ten million (10,000,000) shares of the Company’s Common Stock.  The number of shares stated in this Section 3 shall be subject to adjustment in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.  Shares of Restricted Stock that fail to vest prior to its expiration or other termination shall again become available for grant under the terms of the Plan.
 
4.
ELIGIBILITY
 
The individuals who shall be eligible to receive Restricted Stock grants under the Plan shall be employees, directors and other individuals who render services to the management, operation or development of the Company or a Subsidiary and who have contributed or may be expected to contribute to the success of the Company or a Subsidiary.  In determining the suitability of an individual to be granted Restricted Stock, as well as in determining the number of Restricted Stock to be granted to any individual, the Board shall take into account the position and responsibilities of the individual being considered, the nature and value to the Company or its subsidiaries of his or her service and accomplishments, his or her present and potential contribution to the success of the Company or its subsidiaries, and such other factors as the Board may deem relevant. The term “Grantee,” as used in the Plan, refers to any individual to whom a Restricted Stock has been granted.
 
5.
TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF RESTRICTED STOCK
 
(a)      Upon the issuance of any shares of Restricted Stock to a Grantee, the Grantee shall execute and deliver to the Company a written Restricted Stock Agreement in such form as the Board shall approve from time to time, specifying the number of shares of Common Stock that were issued to the Grantee, the consideration, the restrictions on transfer of such Restricted Stock, and the terms under which the Restricted Stock may be released from restriction in whole or in part and such other terms and conditions as the Board shall approve.
 
(b)      Each Restricted Stock Agreement shall state the number of shares of Restricted Stock issued to such Grantee.
 
(c)      Each Restricted Stock Agreement may state an amount of purchase price to be paid by the Grantee in consideration for the issuance of the Restricted Stock and the terms of payment thereof, which may include, payment by issuance of promissory notes or other evidence of indebtedness on such terms and conditions as determined by the Board or the Committee.
 
 
A - 2

 
 
(d)      A Restricted Stock Agreement may also provide for a vesting schedule for the Restricted Stock, as may be determined by the Board or the Committee, provided that (to the extent permitted under applicable law) the Board or the Committee, as applicable, shall have the authority to determine the vesting schedule and accelerate the vesting of any outstanding Restricted Stock at such time and under such circumstances as it, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate.
 
(e)      Restricted Stock may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of, except by will or the laws of descent and distribution, for such period as the Board or the Committee shall determine from the issuance date (the "Restricted Period"), and may be subject to repurchase provisions as provided in this Plan or otherwise provided in the Restricted Stock Agreement.
 
(f)      The Board or the Committee, as applicable, may also impose such additional or alternative restrictions and conditions on the Restricted Stock, as it deems appropriate, including the satisfaction of performance criteria. Such performance criteria may include, but are not limited to, sales, earnings before interest and taxes, return on investment, earnings per share, any combination of the foregoing or rate of growth of any of the foregoing, as may be determined by the Board or the Committee. Certificates for shares issued pursuant to Restricted Stock shall bear an appropriate legend referring to such restrictions, and any attempt to dispose of any such shares in contravention of such restrictions shall be null and void and without effect. Such certificates may, if so determined by the Committee, be held in escrow by an escrow agent appointed by the Board or the Committee, or, if a Restricted Stock is issued pursuant to Section 102, by the Trustee. In determining the Restricted Period, the Committee may provide that the foregoing restrictions shall lapse with respect to specified percentages of the awarded Restricted Stock on successive anniversaries of the date of such issuance.
 
(g)      The Board or the Committee, as applicable, may adjust performance goals to take into account changes in law and accounting and tax rules and to make such adjustments as the Board or the Committee deems necessary or appropriate to reflect the inclusion or the exclusion of the impact of extraordinary or unusual items, events or circumstances. The Board or the Committee, as applicable, may also adjust the performance goals by reducing the amount to be received by any Grantee if and to the extent that the Board or the Committee deems it appropriate.
 
(h)      During the Restricted Period the Grantee shall possess all incidents of ownership of such Restricted Stock, including the right to receive dividends with respect to such Restricted Stock. All distributions, if any, received by a Grantee with respect to Restricted Stock as a result of any stock split, stock dividend, combination of shares, or other similar transaction shall be subject to the restrictions applicable to the original stock award.
 
6.
LEGENDS
 
Each certificate evidencing Restricted Stock issued to a Grantee shall be imprinted with the following legend, to the effect that the shares represented may not be sold, exchanged, transferred, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of except in accordance with the terms of applicable securities laws.
 
 
A - 3

 
 
"THE RESTRICTED SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED STATES FEDERAL SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "ACT"), OR UNDER ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS (COLLECTIVELY, THE “SECURITIES LAWS”). THESE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD, EXCHANGED, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF, UNLESS FIRST REGISTERED UNDER THE ACT AND APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS, OR UNLESS THE COMPANY HAS RECEIVED AN OPINION OF COUNSEL OR OTHER EVIDENCE SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY, IN ITS SOLE DISCRETION, THAT REGISTRATION UNDER THE ACT AND SUCH APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS IS NOT REQUIRED.
 
7.
METHOD OF ISSUANCE OF RESTRICTED STOCK
 
The issuance of Restricted Stock shall be made by action of the Board at a meeting at which a quorum of its members is present, or by unanimous written consent of all its members.
 
8.
REQUIREMENTS OF LAW
 
The Company shall not be required to consent to, and record in its books and records any transfer of Restricted Stock from a Grantee to any other person, if the transfer of such shares by the Grantee will result in a violation by the Grantee or the Company of any provisions of any law, statute or regulation of any governmental authority, including, without limitation, the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended from time to time (the “Securities Act”). The Company shall not be required to issue certificates evidencing shares of Restricted Stock, unless the Board has received evidence satisfactory to it to the effect that the holder of the Restricted Stock will not transfer such shares except pursuant to a registration statement in effect under the Securities Act or unless an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company has been received by the Company to the effect that registration is not required.  Any determination in this connection by the Board shall be conclusive.  The Company shall not be obligated to take any other affirmative action in order to cause the transfer of Restricted Stock to comply with any law or regulations of any governmental authority, including, without limitation, the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws.
 
9.
CHANGES IN CAPITAL STRUCTURE
 
(a)           Except as otherwise provided in the preceding paragraph, if the Company is merged or consolidated with another corporation, whether or not the Company is the surviving entity, or if the Company is liquidated or sells or otherwise disposes of all or substantially all of its assets to another entity, or if other circumstances occur in which the Board in its sole and absolute discretion deems it appropriate for the provisions of this paragraph to apply (in each case, an “Applicable Event”), then:  (i) each holder of Restricted Stock shall be entitled to receive in lieu of his or her shares of Restricted Stock, such stock or other securities or property as he or she would have received if he or she  held unrestricted shares of Common Stock immediately prior to the Applicable Event.
 
(b)           Except as expressly provided to the contrary in this Section 9, the issuance by the Company of shares of stock of any class for cash or property or for services, either upon direct sale or upon the exercise of rights or warrants, or upon conversion of shares or obligations of the Company convertible into such shares or other securities, shall not affect the number, class or price of shares of Restricted Stock.
 
 
A - 4

 
 
10.
FORFEITURE FOR DISHONESTY OR TERMINATION FOR CAUSE
 
Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, if the Board determines, after full consideration of the facts, that:
 
(a)           the Grantee or holder of Restricted Stock has been engaged in fraud, embezzlement or theft in the course of his or her employment by or involvement with the Company or a Subsidiary, has made unauthorized disclosure of trade secrets or other proprietary information of the Company or a Subsidiary or of a third party who has entrusted such information to the Company or a Subsidiary, or has been indicted of a felony or any crime that reflects negatively upon the Company; or
 
(b)           the Grantee or holder of Restricted Stock has violated the terms of any employment, noncompetition, nonsolicitation, confidentiality, nondisclosure or other agreement with the Company to which he is a party; or
 
(c)           the employment or involvement with the Company or a Subsidiary of the Grantee or holder of Restricted Stock was terminated for “cause,” as defined in any agreement with the Grantee or holder of Restricted Stock governing his or her relationship with the Company, or if there is no such agreement, as determined by the Board, which may determine that “cause” includes among other matters the willful failure or refusal of the Grantee or holder of Restricted Stock to perform and carry out his or her assigned duties and responsibilities diligently and in a manner satisfactory to the Board;
 
then the Company shall have, at the Board’s sole discretion, the right to repurchase all or any part of the Restricted Stock owned by such Grantee as of the date of such act (in the case of (a) or (b)) or such termination (in the case of (c)), at a price equal to the par value of such Restricted Stock.  If a Grantee whose behavior the Company asserts falls within the provisions of the clauses above has purchased or attempts to purchase shares of Common Stock of the Company prior to consideration of the application of this Section 10 or prior to a decision of the Board, the Company shall not be required to recognize such purchase until the Board has made its decision and, in the event any purchase shall have taken place, it shall be of no force and effect (and shall be void ab initio) if the Board makes an adverse determination.  The decision of the Board as to the cause of a Grantee’s or holder of Restricted Stock’s discharge and the damage done to the Company shall be final, binding and conclusive.  No decision of the Board, however, shall affect in any manner the finality of the discharge of such Grantee or holder of Restricted Stock by the Company.  For purposes of this Section 10, reference to the Company shall include any Subsidiary.
 
11.           CERTAIN AGREEMENTS; REPURCHASE RIGHTS
 
Without limiting the foregoing, the Board may provide in a Grantee’s Restricted Stock Agreement that any grant of Restricted Stock is conditioned on the Grantee’s execution of one or more letter agreements or other documents concerning investment intent, transfer restrictions, repurchase rights and such other matters as the Board may deem appropriate.
 
12.           MISCELLANEOUS
 
(a)           No Guarantee of Employment or Other Service Relationship.  Neither the Plan nor any Restricted Stock Agreement shall give an employee the right to continue in the employment of the Company or a Subsidiary or give the Company or a Subsidiary the right to require an employee to continue in employment.  Neither the Plan nor any Restricted Stock Agreement shall give a director or other service provider the right to continue to perform services for the Company or a Subsidiary or give the Company or a Subsidiary the right to require the director or service provider to continue to perform services.
 
 
A - 5

 
 
(b)           Tax Withholding.  To the extent required by law, the Company shall withhold or cause to be withheld income and other taxes with respect to any income recognized by a Grantee by reason of issuance of Restricted Stock or by reason of the vesting of Restricted Stock, and as a condition for the issuance of any Restricted Stock by the Company, the Grantee shall agree that if the amount payable to him by the Company and any Subsidiary in the ordinary course is insufficient to pay such taxes, then he shall upon the request of the Company pay to the Company an amount sufficient to satisfy its tax withholding obligations.
 
Without limiting the foregoing, the Board may in its sole discretion permit any Grantee’s withholding obligation to be paid in whole or in part in the form of shares of Common Stock of the Company, by withholding from the shares to be issued or by accepting delivery from the Grantee of shares already owned by him. If payment of withholding taxes is made in whole or in part in shares of Common Stock, the Grantee shall deliver to the Company stock certificates registered in his name representing shares of Common Stock legally and beneficially owned by him, fully vested and free of all liens, claims and encumbrances of every kind, duly endorsed or accompanied by stock powers duly endorsed by the record holder of the shares represented by such stock certificates.  If the Grantee is subject to Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, his ability to pay his withholding obligation in the form of shares of Common Stock shall be subject to such additional restrictions as may be necessary to avoid any transaction that might give rise to liability under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act.
 
ALL TAX CONSEQUENCES UNDER ANY APPLICABLE LAW WHICH MAY ARISE FROM THE GRANT OF ANY RESTRICTED STOCK OR FROM THE SALE OR DISPOSITION OF THE SHARES OR RESTRICTED STOCK OR FROM ANY OTHER ACT OF THE GRANTEE IN CONNECTION WITH THE FOREGOING SHALL BE BORNE SOLELY BY THE GRANTEE, AND THE GRANTEE SHALL INDEMNIFY THE COMPANY AND SHALL HOLD IT HARMLESS AGAINST AND FROM ANY LIABILITY FOR ANY SUCH TAX OR PENALTY, INTEREST OR INDEXATION THEREON OR THEREUPON
 
Each Grantee shall notify the Company in writing within ten (10) days after the date such Grantee first obtains knowledge of any tax bureau inquiry, audit, assertion, determination, investigation, or question relating in any manner to the value of Restricted Stock issued, granted or received hereunder, and each Grantee agrees to any settlement, closing or other similar agreement in connection with the foregoing. Upon request, a Grantee shall provide to the Company any information or document relating to any event described in the preceding sentence which the Company (in its sole discretion) requires in order to calculate and substantiate any change in the Company’s tax liability as a result of such event.
 
(c)           Use of Proceeds.  The proceeds from the purchase of Restricted Stock shall constitute general funds of the Company.
 
(d)           Construction.  All masculine pronouns used in the Plan shall include both sexes; the singular shall include the plural and the plural the singular unless the context otherwise requires.  The titles of the sections of the Plan are included for convenience only and shall not be construed as modifying or affecting their provisions.
 
(e)           Governing Law.  The Plan shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to the principles of conflict of laws.
 
 
A - 6

 
 
13.           EFFECTIVE DATE, DURATION, AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION OF PLAN
