FutureLand Corp. is required to withhold any federal and state income taxes and employee participant’s social security and Medicare contributions from compensation. Normally, there is no income tax, social security or Medicare withholding requirement for independent consultants, including board members. The Company is to provide the employee-participant with the number of shares an employee-participant is eligible to purchase on any compensation payment date. The employee shall be solely responsible for payment of applicable federal and state taxes computed on income and social security and Medicare contributions. The Company is to provide the employee-participant with a computation of federal and state taxes, and social security and Medicare contributions on all shares eligible to purchase by the employee-participant on any compensation date.  It is the employee-participant’s responsibility to reimburse the Company for any federal and state tax withholding no later than the due date for the payment of withholding taxes by the Company. Any gain or loss on the sale of the common stock, as compared to the tax basis, will be short or long term capital gain, as appropriate. The employee’s tax basis for the common stock will be the greater of the market value of the shares on the date of issue or the value pursuant to the Employment Agreement

 

5. Eligibility. Stock Grants may be granted to Service Providers, Officers and employees.

   

           6. Limitation. Neither the Plan nor any Option shall confer upon a Grantee any right with respect to continuing the Grantee’s relationship as a Service Provider with the Company, nor shall they interfere in any way with the Grantee’s right or the Company’s right to terminate such relationship at any time, with or without cause.

 

           7. Term of Plan. The Plan shall become effective upon its adoption by the Board. It shall continue in effect for ten (10) years, unless sooner terminated under Section 14 of the Plan.

 

           8. Term of Option. The term of each Option shall be stated in the Option Agreement.

 

           9. Option Exercise Price and Consideration.

 
 

 

                (a) Exercise Price. The per share exercise price for the Shares to be issued pursuant to exercise of an Option shall be determined by the Administrator.

 

                (b) Waiting Period and Exercise Dates. At the time an Option is granted, the Administrator shall fix the period within which the Option may be exercised and shall determine any conditions which must be satisfied before the Option may be exercised.

 

                (c) Form of Consideration. The Administrator shall determine the acceptable form of consideration for exercising an Option, including the method of payment. Such consideration may consist entirely of:

 

                     (i) cash;

                     (ii) check;

                     (iii) other Shares which (A) in the case of Shares acquired upon exercise of an option, have been owned by the Grantee for more than six months on the date of surrender, and (B) have a Fair Market Value on the date of surrender equal to the aggregate exercise price of the Shares as to which said Option shall be exercised;

                     (iv) consideration received by the Company under a cashless exercise program implemented by the Company in connection with the Plan;

                     (v) such other consideration and method of payment for the issuance of Shares to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws; or

                     (vi) any combination of the foregoing methods of payment.

 

           10. Exercise of Option.

 

                (a) Procedure for Exercise; Rights as a Shareholder. Any Option granted hereunder shall be exercisable according to the terms of the Plan and at such times and under such conditions as determined by the Administrator and set forth in the Option Agreement. An Option may not be exercised for a fraction of a Share. An Option shall be deemed exercised when the Company receives:

 (i) written or electronic notice of exercise (in accordance with the Option Agreement) from the person entitled to exercise the Option, and

(ii) full payment for the Shares with respect to which the Option is exercised. Full payment may consist

of any consideration and method of payment authorized by the Administrator and permitted by the Option Agreement and the Plan. Shares issued upon exercise of an Option shall be issued in the name of the Grantee or, if requested by the Grantee, in the name of the Grantee and his or her spouse. Until the Shares are issued (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company), no right to vote or receive dividends or any other rights as a shareholder shall exist with respect to the Optioned Stock, notwithstanding the exercise of the Option. The Company shall issue (or cause to be issued) such Shares promptly after the Option is exercised. No adjustment will be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to the date the Shares are issued, except as provided in Section 12 of the Plan. Exercising an Option in any manner shall decrease the number of Shares thereafter available, both for purposes of the Plan and for sale under the Option, by the number of Shares as to which the Option is exercised.

 

 

                (b) Termination of Relationship as a Service Provider. If an Grantee ceases to be a Service Provider, other than upon the Grantee’s death or Disability, the Grantee may exercise his or her Option, but only within such period of time as is specified in the Option Agreement, and only to the extent that the Option is vested on the date of termination (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Option Agreement). In the absence of a specified time in the Option Agreement, the Option shall remain exercisable for one (1) month following the Grantee’s termination. If, on the date of termination, the Grantee is not vested as to his or her entire Option, the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option shall revert to the Plan. If, after termination, the Grantee does not exercise his or her Option within the time specified by the Administrator, the Option shall terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option shall revert to the Plan.

 

                (c) Disability of Grantee. If an Grantee ceases to be a Service Provider as a result of the Grantee’s Disability, the Grantee may exercise his or her Option within such period of time as is specified in the Option Agreement, to the extent the Option is vested on the date of termination (but in no event later than the expiration of

 
 

the term of such Option as set forth in the Option Agreement). In the absence of a specified time in the Option Agreement, the Option shall remain exercisable for three (3) months following the Grantee’s termination. If, on the date of termination, the Grantee is not vested as to his or her entire Option, the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option shall revert to the Plan. If, after termination, the Grantee does not exercise his or her Option within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option shall revert to the Plan.

 

                (d) Death of Grantee. If an Grantee dies while a Service Provider, the Option may be exercised within such period of time as is specified in the Option Agreement (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Notice of Grant), by the Grantee’s estate or by a person who acquires the right to exercise the Option by bequest or inheritance, but only to the extent that the Option is vested on the date of death. In the absence of a specified time in the Option Agreement, the Option shall remain exercisable for three (3) months following the Grantee’s death. If, at the time of death, the Grantee is not vested as to his or her entire Option, the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option shall immediately revert to the Plan. The Option may be exercised by the executor or administrator of the Grantee’s estate or, if none, by the person(s) entitled to exercise the Option under the Grantee’s will or the laws of descent or distribution. If the Option is not so exercised within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option shall revert to the Plan.

 

                (e) Buyout Provisions. The Administrator may at any time offer to buy out for a payment in cash or Shares, an Option previously granted based on such terms and conditions as the Administrator shall establish and communicate to the Grantee at the time that such offer is made.

 

           11. Assignability. A Common Stock Grant may not be assigned without the approval of the administrator.

 

           12. Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization, Dissolution, Merger or Asset Sale.

 

                (a) Changes in Capitalization. Subject to any required action by the shareholders of the Company, the number of shares of Common Stock which have been authorized for issuance under the Plan but as to which have yet been granted, shall be proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of Common Stock resulting from a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, combination or reclassification of the Common Stock, or any other increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of Common Stock effected without receipt of consideration by the Company; provided, however, that conversion of any convertible securities of the Company shall not be deemed to have been “effected without receipt of consideration.” Such adjustment shall be made by the Board, whose determination in that respect shall be final, binding and conclusive. Except as expressly provided herein, no issuance by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number or price of shares of Common Stock subject to the Plan.

 

                (b) Dissolution or Liquidation. In the event of the proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Administrator shall notify each Grantee as soon as practicable prior to the effective date of such proposed transaction. The Administrator in its discretion may provide for a Grantee to have the right to exercise his or her Option until ten (10) days prior to such transaction as to all of the Optioned Stock covered thereby, including Shares as to which the Option would not otherwise be exercisable. In addition, the Administrator may provide that any Company repurchase option applicable to any Shares purchased upon exercise of an Option shall lapse as to all such Shares, provided the proposed dissolution or liquidation takes place at the time and in the manner contemplated. To the extent it has not been previously exercised, an Option will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed action.

 

                (c) Merger or Asset Sale. In the event of a merger of the Company with or into another corporation, or the sale of substantially all of the assets of the Company, each outstanding Option shall be assumed or an equivalent option or right substituted by the successor corporation or a Parent or Subsidiaries of the successor corporation. In the event that the successor corporation refuses to assume or substitute for the Option, the Grantee shall fully vest in and have the right to exercise the Option as to all of the Optioned Stock, including Shares as to which it would not otherwise be vested or exercisable. If an Option becomes fully vested and exercisable in lieu of assumption or substitution in the event of a merger or sale of assets, the Administrator shall notify the Grantee in writing or electronically that the Option shall be fully vested and exercisable for a period of fifteen (15) days from the date of

 
 

such notice, and the Option shall terminate upon the expiration of such period. For the purposes of this paragraph, the Option shall be considered assumed if, following the merger or sale of assets, the option or right confers the right to purchase or receive, for each Share of Optioned Stock, immediately prior to the merger or sale of assets, the consideration (whether stock, cash, or other securities or property) received in the merger or sale of assets by holders of Common Stock for each Share held on the effective date of the transaction (and if holders were offered a choice of consideration, the type of consideration chosen by the holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares); provided, however, that if such consideration received in the merger or sale of assets is not solely common stock of the successor corporation or its Parent, the Administrator  may, with the consent of the successor corporation, provide for the consideration to be received upon the exercise of the Option, for each Share of Optioned Stock to be solely common stock of the successor corporation or its Parent equal in fair market value to the per share consideration received by holders of Common Stock in the merger or sale of assets.

 

           13. Date of Grant. The date of grant of an Option shall be, for all purposes, the date on which the Administrator makes the determination granting such Option, or such other later date as is determined by the Administrator. Notice of the determination shall be provided to each Grantee within a reasonable time after the date of such grant.

 

           14. Amendment and Termination of the Plan.

 

                (a) Amendment and Termination. The Board may at any time amend, alter, suspend or terminate the Plan.

 

                (b) Effect of Amendment or Termination. No amendment, alteration, suspension or termination of the Plan shall impair the rights of any Grantee, unless mutually agreed otherwise between the Grantee and the Administrator, which agreement must be in writing and signed by the Grantee and the Company. Termination of the Plan shall not affect the Administrator’s ability to exercise the powers granted to it hereunder with respect to grants under the Plan prior to the date of such termination.

 

           15. Conditions Upon Issuance of Shares.  Legal Compliance. Shares shall not be issued pursuant to the exercise of an Option unless the exercise of such Option and the   issuance and delivery of such Shares shall comply with Applicable Laws and shall be further subject to the approval of counsel for the Company with respect to such compliance.

 

           16. Inability to Obtain Authority. The inability of the Company to obtain authority from any regulatory body having jurisdiction, which authority is deemed by the Company’s counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any Shares hereunder, shall relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to issue or sell such Shares as to which such requisite authority shall not have been obtained.

 

           17. Reservation of Shares. The Company, during the term of this Plan, will at all times reserve and keep available such number of Shares as shall be sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the Plan.

In no event shall this Option be exercised later than the Term/Expiration Date as provided on the attached “Notice of Grant of Stock Options and Option Agreement.”

 

      II. AGREEMENT

 

      1. Grant of Option. The Plan Administrator of the Company hereby grants to the Grantee named in the Notice of Grant attached as Part I of this Agreement (the “Grantee”) an option (the “Option”) to purchase the number of Shares, as set forth in the Notice of Grant, at the exercise price per share set forth in the Notice of Grant (the “Exercise Price”), for the exercise period,   subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, which is incorporated herein by reference. Subject to Section 14(b) of the Plan, in the event of a conflict between the terms and conditions of the Plan and the terms and conditions of this Option Agreement, the terms and conditions of the Plan shall prevail.

 

      2. Exercise of Option:

 

           (a) Right to Exercise. This Option is exercisable during its term in accordance with the Vesting Schedule set in the Notice of Grant and the applicable provisions of the Plan and this Option Agreement.

 

           (b) Method of Exercise. This Option is exercisable by delivery of an exercise notice, in the form attached as Exhibit A (the “Exercise Notice”, which shall state the election to exercise the Option, the number of Shares in respect of which the Option is being exercised (the “Exercised Shares”), and such other representations and agreements as may be required by the Company pursuant to the provisions of the Plan. The Exercise Notice shall be completed by the Grantee and delivered to the Stock Option Administrator. The Exercise Notice shall be accompanied by payment of the aggregate Exercise Price as to all Exercised Shares. This Option shall be deemed to be exercised upon receipt by the Company of such fully executed Exercise Notice accompanied by such aggregate Exercise Price.

 

           No Shares shall be issued pursuant to the exercise of this Option unless such issuance and exercise complies with Applicable Laws. Assuming such compliance, for income tax purposes the Exercised Shares shall be considered transferred to the Grantee on the date the Option is exercised       with respect to such Exercised Shares.

 

      3. Method of Payment. Payment of the aggregate Exercise Price shall be by any of the following, or a combination thereof, at the election of the Grantee:

 

             (a) cash;

             (b) check;

             (c) consideration received by the Company under a cashless exercise program implemented by the Company

 
 

in connection with the Plan; or

             (d) surrender of other Shares which (i) in the case of Shares acquired upon exercise of an option, have been owned by the Grantee for more than six (6) months of the date of surrender, and (ii) have a Fair Market Value on the date of surrender equal to the aggregate Exercise Price of the Exercised Shares.

 

      4. Transferability of Option. This Option may be transferred only by consent of the Grantor in writing, and in any manner otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution and may be exercised during the lifetime of Grantee only by the Grantee. The terms of the Plan and this Option Agreement shall be binding upon the executors, administrators, heirs, successors and assigns of the Grantee.

 

      5. Term of Option. This Option may be exercised only within the term set out in the Notice of Grant, and may be exercised during such term only in accordance with the Plan and the terms of this Option Agreement.

 

      6. Tax Consequences. Some of the federal tax consequences relating to this Option, as of the date of this Option, are set forth below. THIS SUMMARY IS NECESSARILY INCOMPLETE, AND THE TAX LAWS AND REGULATIONS ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE. THE GRANTEE SHOULD CONSULT A TAX ADVISOR BEFORE EXERCISING THIS OPTION OR DISPOSING OF THE SHARES.

 

           (a) Exercising the Option. The Grantee may incur regular federal income tax liability upon exercise of an NSO. The Grantee will be treated as having received compensation income (taxable at ordinary income tax rates) equal to the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value of the Exercised Shares on the date of exercise over their aggregate Exercise Price. If the Grantee is an Employee of a former Employee, the Company will be required to withhold from his or her compensation or collect from Grantee and pay to the applicable taxing authorities an amount in cash equal to a percentage of this compensation income at the time of exercise, and may refuse to honor the exercise and refuse to deliver Shares if such withholding amounts are not delivered at the time of exercise.

 

           (b) Disposition of Shares. If the Grantee holds NSO Shares for at least one year, any gain realized on disposition of the Shares will be treated as long-term capital gain for federal income tax purposes.

 

 

      7. Entire Agreement: Governing Law. The Plan is incorporated herein by reference. The Plan and this Option Agreement constitute the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede in their entirely all prior undertakings and agreements of the Company and Grantee with respect to the subject matter hereof, and may not be modified adversely to the Grantee’s interest except by means of a writing signed by the Company and Grantee. This agreement is governed by the internal substantive laws, but not the choice of law rules, of Colorado.

 

      8. NO GUARENTEE OF CONTINUED SERVICE: GRANTEE ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THE VESTING OF SHARES PURSUANT TO THE VESTING SCHEDULE HEREOF IS EARNED ONLY BY CONTINUING AS A SERVICE PROVIDER AT THE WILL OF THE COMPANY (AND NOT THROUGH THE ACT OF BEING HIRED, BEING GRANTED AN OPTION OR PURCHASING SHARES HEREUNDER). GRANTEE FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THIS AGREEMENT, THE TRANSACTIONS COMTEMPLATED HEREUNDER AND THE VESTING SCHEDULE SET FORTH HEREIN DO NOT CONSTITUTE AN EXPRESS OR IMPLIED PROMISE OF CONTINUED ENGAGEMENT AS A SERVICE PROVIDER FOR THE VESTING PERIOD, FOR ANY PERIOD, OR AT ALL, AND SHALL NOT INTERFERE WITH GRANTEE’S RIGHT OR THE COMPANY’S RIGHT TO TERMINATE GRANTEE’S RELATIONSHIP AS A SERVICE PROVIDER AT ANY TIME, WITH OR WITHOUT CAUSE.
