MAJORITY STOCKHOLDER CONSENT AND
DELIVERY OF INFORMATION STATEMENT
 
This Information Statement is first being mailed on or about June [   ], 2009 to our stockholders of record on the Record Date to provide material information regarding the Actions.
 
Messrs. Louis J. Brothers and Larry K. Wilhide, two of our directors, have voting control of 37,760,000 shares our Common Stock, representing, in the aggregate, approximately 73.4% of the outstanding shares of our Common Stock at the Record Date and constituting the Majority Stockholders, have consented in writing to the Actions.  Such approval and consent are sufficient under Section 607.0704 of the Florida Business Corporations Act and our bylaws to approve the Actions.  Our Board does not intend to solicit any proxies or consents in connection with the Actions.  Accordingly, the Actions will not be submitted to our other stockholders for a vote and this Information Statement is being furnished to stockholders solely to provide them with certain information concerning the Actions and the Company in accordance with the requirements of Florida law and Regulation 14C promulgated under the Exchange Act.
 
Our Board has previously unanimously approved the Actions.
 
Regulation 14C promulgated by the SEC under Section 14(c) of the Exchange Act requires that we distribute to our stockholders of record on the Record Date this Information Statement with respect to the Actions authorized by consent of the Majority Shareholders.  Regulation 14C also provides for an effective date of the Actions of not earlier than the 20th day after the mailing of this Information Statement in the definitive form filed with the SEC (the “Effective Date”).
 
Only one Information Statement is being delivered to two or more stockholders who share an address unless we have received a contrary instruction from one or more of such stockholders.  We will promptly deliver, upon written or oral request, a separate copy of this Information Statement to a stockholder at a shared address to which a single copy of the document was delivered.  If you would like to request additional copies of this Information Statement, or if in the future you would like to receive multiple copies of Information Statements or proxy statements, or annual reports, or if you are currently receiving multiple copies of these documents and would, in the future, like to receive only a single copy, please so instruct us by writing to the corporate secretary at our executive offices at the address specified above.

Outstanding Shares and Voting Rights
 
As of May 13, 2009, our authorized capitalization consisted of 100,000,000 shares of Common Stock, of which 51,415,349 shares were issued and outstanding.  Holders of Common Stock have equal rights to receive dividends when, as and if declared by our Board of Directors, out of funds legally available therefore.  Holders of Common Stock have one vote for each share held of record and do not have cumulative voting rights and are entitled, upon liquidation, to share ratably in the net assets available for distribution, subject to the rights, if any, of holders of any preferred stock then outstanding.  Shares of Common Stock are not redeemable and have no preemptive or similar rights.  All outstanding shares of Common Stock are fully paid and non-assessable.

The elimination of the need for a meeting of shareholders to approve these actions is made possible by Section 607.0704 of the Florida Business Corporations Act, as may be amended, which provides that the written consent of the holders of outstanding shares of voting capital stock, having not less than the minimum number of votes which would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted, may be substituted for such a meeting. In order to eliminate the costs involved in holding a physical special meeting, our Board of Directors voted to utilize the written consent of the holder of a majority in interest of our voting securities.
 
Our Principal Shareholders
 
As of May 13, 2009, there were 51,415,349 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding.  Our common stock is our only class of voting securities. Each share of common stock has one vote per share on all matters submitted to a vote of our shareholders.
 
The following table sets forth, as of December 31, 2008, information known to us relating to the beneficial ownership of these shares by:
 
a. each person who is the beneficial owner of more than 5% of the outstanding shares of voting securities;
b. each director;
c. each executive officer; and
d. all executive officers and directors as a group.
 
Unless otherwise indicated, the address of each beneficial owner in the table set forth below is care of Valley Forge Composite Technologies, Inc., 50 East River Center Boulevard, Suite 820, Covington, Kentucky 41011.
 
We believe that all persons named in the table have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of beneficially owned by them. Under securities laws, a person may be considered to be the beneficial owner of securities he owns and that can be acquired upon the exercise of options, warrants, convertible securities or other understandings.

ACTION ONE - AMENDMENT AND RESTATEMENT OF ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION
 
We are amending and restating our original electronically filed articles of incorporation.  A copy of our proposed Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation are attached to this Schedule 14C as Exhibit “A.”
 
The Company’s electronic Articles of Incorporation contained the minimum requirements for incorporation under Florida Law.  The Board of Directors has taken action to update and amplify the protections offered in the Articles of Incorporation, consistent with current Florida law.
 
In general, we are increasing our authorized stock to include 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock issuable by resolution of the Board of Directors and according to the terms set by the Board but subject to certain limitations provided in the amended articles.  We are also providing that we must have at least one director, and we are authorizing the Company to indemnify officers and directors to the fullest extent permitted by law and may indemnify employees, agents, and others as the Bylaws may provide.  A summary of the forthcoming amendments to the Articles of Incorporation is as follows:
 
Article III of the Articles of Incorporation is amended by adding:
 
 
·
Section 3.2, entitled, “Preferred Stock,” which states that the Corporation shall have the authority to issue an aggregate of 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock (“Preferred Stock”) with no par value.
 
·
Section 3.2 (a), entitled, “Board Authorized to Fix Terms,” which authorizes the Board of Directors to issue shares of preferred stock in one or more series and to establish the number of shares to be included in each series and to fix the designation, powers, preferences and rights and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions of each series.  Section 3.2 (a) also provides for the authority of the Board of Directors, which includes but is not limited to determining:
 
o
(i) the number of shares constituting each series;
 
o
(ii) the dividend rate and whether dividends shall be cumulative of each series;
 
o
(iii) the voting rights of each series;
 
o
(iv) the terms and conditions upon which each series may be convertible;
 
o
(v) the terms and conditions of any right of redemption, as well as whether any redemption rights shall exist;
 
o
(vi) the obligation to retire shares to a fund for the redemption or purchase of shares as well as the terms and conditions of such obligation;
 
o
(vii) the rights of shares in the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation and the relative priority rights;
 
o
(viii) the preemptive or preferential rights of each series
 
o
(ix) any other rights, preferences and limitation of the shares of each series as may be permitted by law.
 
·
Section 3.2 (b), entitled “Dividend Preference,” which provides that any outstanding dividends on preferred stock shall be paid or declared before any dividends shall be paid or declared on shares of common stock for the same dividend period.
 
·
Section 3.2 (c), entitled “Relative Liquidation Preference,” which provides for a distribution of the assets, ratably among the shares of preferred stock in accordance with their respective priorities, if upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up the assets are insufficient to pay all preferred stock its full preferential amount.
 
·
Section 3.2 (d), entitled “Reissuance of Preferred Stock,” which provides that subject to the conditions or restrictions set forth in the resolution or resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors, a series of stock may be reissued as part of the same series of which they were originally a part of or may be reissued as part of a new issues of Preferred Stock, or any other series of Preferred Stock, pursuant to the filing of an appropriate certificate with the Florida Secretary of State, when applicable.

Article V is amended by adding “Directors,” which states that the Corporation shall have at least one director, the number of directors may be increased or decreased pursuant to the bylaws of the Corporation, but shall not be less than one.
 
Article VI, entitled, “Indemnification,” is added to the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation and states the Corporation shall indemnify and advance expenses on behalf of its officers and directors to the fullest extent permitted by law; and may indemnify employees, agents and others as the bylaws may provide.
 
ACTION TWO - AMENDMENT OF BYLAWS
 
We are amending our Bylaws by substituting our existing bylaws, which have been in existence and unaltered since inception, and contain only the minimum requirements specified by Florida law.  The new bylaws, the more important revisions of which are set forth in the summary table below, are consistent with current Florida law and provide greater flexibility to and protection of Management.  In general, the new proposed Bylaws conform certain administrative practices and conform to current Florida law by providing for emergency bylaws; by providing for indemnification rights to officers, directors, and others, and providing a procedure for indemnification claims; by eliminating a ceiling on the number of directors; and by increasing from 10% to 50% the votes required to call a Special Meeting.  A copy of our proposed amended Bylaws are attached to this Schedule 14C as Exhibit “B”.

ACTION THREE – APPOINTMENT OF DIRECTORS
 
Effective April 15, 2008, majority shareholders Louis J. Brothers and Larry K. Wilhide appointed the following persons to the Company’s board of directors: Andrew T. Gilinsky, Richard S. Relac, Dr. Victor E. Alessi, and Raul A. Fernandez.  Effective March 25, 2008, majority shareholders Louis J. Brothers and Larry K. Wilhide appointed Eugene Breyer to the Company’s Board of Directors. Each appointee will remain a director until their successors are elected and qualified or until their earlier resignations or removals from office. Our independent directors are Messrs. Fernandez and Relac and Dr. Alessi.  Our definition of “independent” is that of NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 4200(a)(15). However, the Company’s securities are not listed on any platform in the NASDAQ Stock Market. The first board meeting attended by newly appointed directors occurred on August 14, 2008.
 
The board members have not been compensated for their services rendered in 2008.  Accordingly, the Board of Directors voted in March 2009 to pay themselves 2,000 shares of common stock per month of service as directors for the calendar year 2009, retroactive to January 2009. Such compensation is not provided pursuant to the proposed 2008 Equity Incentive Plan.
 
Mr. Relac is compensated by the Company for translating services unrelated to his position as a director. Mr. Breyer has provided consulting services to the Company on human resource matters but has not been and does not expect to be compensated for such services.  Mr. Gilinsky’s employer, Clairmont Paciello & Co., P.C., serves the Company as its outsourced accounting staff, but Mr. Gilinsky has not been directly or indirectly compensated by the Company additionally for his services as a director in 2008.
 
The following table sets forth the name and, age, and position of each officer and director of the Company.

Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act
 
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires that the Company’s directors and executive officers and persons who beneficially own more than ten percent (10%) of a registered class of its equity securities file with the SEC reports of ownership and changes in ownership of its common stock and other equity securities.  Executive officers, directors, and greater than ten percent (10%) beneficial owners are required by SEC regulation to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) reports that they file.  Based solely upon a review of the copies of such reports furnished to us, the Company believes that during 2008 the filing requirements applicable to its newly appointed directors were delinquent.  The Company believes that the filing requirements for its existing executive officers, directors, and greater than ten percent (10%) beneficial owners were met.
 
The following reports were filed late for newly appointed directors’ Section 16(a) disclosures:
 
Forms 3 for Andrew T. Gilinsky, Eugene Breyer, Dr. Victor E. Alessi, Raul A. Fernandez, and Richard S. Relac.
 
Corporate Governance
 
The Board of Directors held formal meetings in August, September, October, November, and December 2008. Meetings of the board have been conducted by telephone.  We have never held an annual meeting of shareholders because all actions requiring shareholder approval have been conducted by the written consent of our majority shareholders, Messrs. Brothers and Wilhide.  We anticipate that we will begin to hold annual shareholder meetings when we enter into the operational phase of our core business plan.  
 
Audit Committee and Audit Committee Financial Expert
 
We do not have an audit committee or an audit committee financial expert sitting on the board.  Due to our stagnant growth during 2008, we did not expand our board of directors as expected to include an audit committee or an audit committee financial expert.  It is not likely that we will expand the board in 2009 to include an audit committee or an audit committee financial expert unless and until we enter into the operational phase of our core business plan.
 
Transactions with Related Persons
 
At December 31, 2008 the Company owed Louis J. Brothers, the Company’s president and major shareholder, $326,558 for advances made to the Company. Such amount, which is included in the due to shareholders balance on the balance sheet at December 31, 2008 earns 6% annual interest compounded quarterly, and is due on demand.
 
The Company paid Rosemary A. Brothers, the wife of director Louis J. Brothers, $26,667 for administrative services.  Rosemary A. Brothers is, as of the filing date of this report, the Company’s only administrative employee.
 
Review, Approval or Ratification of Transactions with Related Persons
 
As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to report this information.

Indemnification of Directors and Officers
 
Our bylaws contained the broadest form of indemnification for our officers and directors permitted under Florida law.  We are amending the bylaws as summarized below in this Schedule 14C to modernize or indemnification rights consistent with current Florida law. Our current bylaws generally provide as follows:
 
The Company shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by, or in the right of the Company) by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company, or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of any other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses (including attorney's fees), judgments, fines, amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, including any appeal thereof, if he or she acted in good faith in a manner he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, and with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful.  The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or upon a plea of no contenders or its equivalent shall not create, of itself, a presumption that the person did not act in good faith or in a manner which he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Company or, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful.
 
To the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to above, or in any defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he or she shall be indemnified against expenses, including attorneys fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith.
 
Any indemnification shall be made only if a determination is made that indemnification of the director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances because such person has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth above. Such determination shall be made either (1) by the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, or (2) by the shareholders who were not parties to such action, suit or proceeding.  If neither of the above determinations can occur because the Board of Directors consists of a sole director or the Company is owned by a sole shareholder, which is controlled by the sole officer and director, then the sole officer and director or sole shareholder shall be allowed to make such determination.
 
Expenses incurred in defending any action, suit or proceeding may be paid in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding as authorized in the manner provided above upon receipt of any undertaking by or on behalf of the director, officer, employee or agent to repay such amount, unless it shall ultimately be determined that she is entitled to be indemnified by the Company.
 
The indemnification provided shall be in addition to the indemnification rights provided pursuant to Chapter 607 of the Florida Statutes, and shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which any person seeking indemnification may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in such person's official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office, and shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.
 
ACTION FOUR – ADOPTION OF 2008 EQUITY COMPENSATION PLAN
 
On September 10, 2008 our Board authorized the adoption of and our Majority Stockholders approved, the Valley Forge Composite Technologies, Inc. 2008 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2008 Plan”). In accordance with Regulation 14C promulgated by the SEC, the 2008 Plan will become effective on the Effective Date.
-17-

 
Our Board believes that stock options and the other stock-based incentives offered under the 2008 Plan play an important role in retaining the services of outstanding personnel and in encouraging such personnel, together with existing employees, to have a greater financial investment in the Company.
 
The 2008 Plan, which is incorporated herein, is set forth in its entirety in Exhibit C attached to this Information Statement. Set forth below is a summary of certain aspects of the 2008 Plan:
 
General Information
 
Administration of the 2008 Plan. The 2008 Plan will be administered by the Board of Directors. If it chooses, the Board may delegate its authority to a Compensation Committee to be appointed by the Board (the “Committee”), which Committee may be comprised of two or more “outside directors” as described in Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Subject to certain limitations in the 2008 Plan, the Board establishes the terms and conditions of awards granted under the 2008 Plan, interprets the 2008 Plan and all awards under the 2008 Plan, and administers the 2008 Plan.
 
Benefits under the 2008 Plan. As defined under the 2008 Plan, the Board may grant any one or a combination of Incentive Stock Options (within meaning of the Code), Non-Qualified Stock Options, Restricted Stock, Stock Appreciation Rights and Phantom Stock Awards, as well as Performance Units and Performance Shares (collectively, “Awards”).
 
Eligible Participants under the 2008 Plan. Except for Incentive Stock Options which may only be granted to Employees of the Company, Awards under the 2008 Plan may be granted to Employees, Directors, and Consultants of the Company (as such terms are defined in the 2008 Plan) who are designated by the Board. No employee may receive Awards under this 2008 Plan in any given year which, singly or in the aggregate, cover more than150,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock.
 
Shares Available under the 2008 Plan. The aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued or transferred to grantees under the 2008 Plan shall not exceed 10,000,000 shares. If there is a stock split, stock dividend or other relevant change affecting the Company’s shares, appropriate adjustments will be made in the number of shares that may be issued or transferred in the future and in the number of shares and price of all outstanding Awards made before such event. If shares under an Award are not issued or transferred, those shares would again be available for inclusion in future Award grants.
 
Awards Under the 2008 Plan
 
Stock Options. The Board may grant options qualifying as incentive stock options under the Code and nonqualified stock options. The term of an option shall be fixed by the Board, but shall not exceed ten years. In the case of death of the holder of the option or upon the termination, removal or resignation of the option holder for any reason other than for cause within one year of the occurrence of a Change of Control (as that term is defined in the 2008 Plan), an option may be extended for up to 12 months depending on the circumstances. The option price shall not be less than the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant. In the case of an award of Incentive Options to an employee possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any parent corporation or subsidiary corporation as those terms are defined in the Code, the option price shall not be less than 110% of the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant and the option term shall not exceed five years from date of grant. Payment of the option price may be by cash or, with the consent of the Board, by tender of shares of Common Stock having an equivalent fair market value or delivery of shares of Common Stock for which the option is being exercised to a broker for sale on behalf of the option holder. With respect to Incentive Options, the aggregate fair market value of shares of Common Stock for which one or more options granted may for the first time become exercisable during any calendar year shall not exceed $100,000.
-18-

 
Restricted Stock. The Board may also award shares of Restricted Stock. The shares will be issued as restricted stock within the meaning of Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Such grant would set forth the terms and conditions of the award, including the imposition of a vesting schedule during which the grantee must remain in the employ of the Company in order to retain the shares under grant. If the grantee’s employment terminates during the period, the grant would terminate and the grantee would be required to return any unvested shares to the Company. However, the Board may provide complete or partial exceptions to this requirement as it deems equitable. Unless an Award specifically provides otherwise, any shares not otherwise vested shall vest upon the death, disability, termination, removal or resignation of the grantee for any reason other than for cause within one year of the occurrence of a Change of Control (as that term is defined in the 2008 Plan). The grantee can not dispose of the shares prior to the expiration of forfeiture restrictions set forth in the grant. During this period, however, the grantee would be entitled to vote the shares and, at the discretion of the Board, receive dividends. Each certificate would bear a legend giving notice of the restrictions in the grant.
 
Performance Awards. The Board may grant Performance Units or Performance Shares in consideration of services performed or to be performed, under which payment may be made in shares of the Common Stock, a combination of shares and cash or cash if the performance of the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company selected by the Board meets certain goals established by the Board during an award period. The Board would determine the goals, the length of an award period (not less than one year and not more than ten years), the maximum payment value of a Performance Award (not to exceed $1,000,000 to any employee in any one year) and the minimum performance required before a payment would be made. In order to receive payment, a grantee must remain in the employ of the Company until the completion of, and settlement under, the award period, except that the Board may provide complete or partial exceptions to that requirement as it deems equitable.
 
Other Stock or Performance-Based Awards. The Board also may grant shares of Common Stock or performance based Awards on the terms and conditions it determines in its discretion, as well as other rights not an Award otherwise described in the 2008 Plan but is denominated or payable in, valued in whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise based on or related to, shares of Common Stock or cash as are deemed by the Board to be consistent with the purposes of the 2008 Plan. Such other stock or performance-based Awards may be in addition to, or in lieu of, cash or other compensation due the grantee.
 
U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences
 
Following is an explanation of the U.S. federal income tax consequences for grantees who are subject to tax in the United States.
 
Stock Options. The grant of an Incentive Option or a Non-qualified Stock Option would not result in income for the grantee or a deduction for the Company.
 
The exercise of a Non-qualified Stock Option would result in ordinary income for the grantee and a deduction for the Company measured by the difference between the option price and the fair market value of the shares received at the time of exercise. Income tax withholding would be required.
 
The exercise of an incentive stock option would not result in income for the grantee if the grantee (i) does not dispose of the shares within two years after the date of grant or one year after the transfer of shares upon exercise and (ii) is an employee of the Company or a subsidiary of the Company from the date of grant and through and until three months before the exercise date. If these requirements are met, the basis of the shares upon later disposition would be the option price. Any gain will be taxed to the employee as long-term capital gain and the Company would not be entitled to a deduction. The excess of the market value on the exercise date over the option price is an item of tax preference, potentially subject to the alternative minimum tax.
 
If the grantee disposes of the shares prior to the expiration of either of the holding periods, the grantee would recognize ordinary income and the Company would be entitled to a deduction equal to the lesser of the fair market value of the shares on the exercise date minus the option price or the amount realized on disposition minus the option price. Any gain in excess of the ordinary income portion would be taxable as long-term or short-term capital gain.
-19-

 
Performance Awards. The grant of a Performance Award would not result in income for the grantee or a deduction for the Company. Upon the exercise of a Performance Award or the receipt of shares or cash under a Performance Award, the grantee would recognize ordinary income and the Company would be entitled to a deduction measured by the fair market value of the shares plus any cash received. Income tax withholding would be required.
 
Restricted Stock Grants. The grant of Restricted Stock should not result in income for the grantee or in a deduction for the Company for federal income tax purposes, assuming the shares transferred are subject to restrictions resulting in a “substantial risk of forfeiture” as intended by the Company, and further assuming no Section 83(b) election is made by the grantee. If there are no such restrictions, the grantee would recognize ordinary income upon receipt of the shares. Any dividends paid to the grantee while the stock remained subject to restriction would be treated as compensation for federal income tax purposes. At the time the restrictions lapse, the grantee would receive ordinary income and the Company would be entitled to a deduction measured by the fair market value of the shares at the time of lapse. Income tax withholding would be required.
  
Other Tax Consideration. Section 162(m) of the Code places a $1,000,000 annual limit on the compensation deductible by us paid to covered employees. The limit, however, does not apply to “qualified performance-based compensation”. We believe that grants of stock options, Performance Awards and other Awards payable upon the attainment of performance goals under the 2008 Plan will qualify as qualified performance-based compensation. Also, section 409A of the Code provides that deferrals of compensation under a nonqualified deferred compensation plan for all taxable years are currently includible in gross income to the extent not subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture and not previously included in gross income, unless certain requirements are met. The Board intends to structure deferred compensation items in compliance with Section 409A. In addition, Awards that are granted, accelerated or enhanced upon the occurrence of a Change in Control may give rise, in whole or in part, to “excess parachute payments” within the meaning of Internal Revenue Code Section 280G and, to such extent, will be non-deductible by the Company and subject to a 20% excise tax on the participant.
 
State tax consequences may in some cases differ from the federal tax consequences. In addition, awards under the 2008 Plan may in some instances be made to recipients who are subject to tax in jurisdictions other than the United States and may result in consequences different from those described above.
 
The foregoing summary of the U.S. income tax consequences in respect of the 2008 Plan is for general information only. Interested parties should consult their own advisors as to specific tax consequences, including the application and effect to foreign, state and local tax laws.
 
Other Information
 
The 2008 Plan will be effective approximately 20 days after the mailing of this Information Statement to all stockholders of the Company on the Record Date and will terminate on the tenth (10th) year anniversary thereof, unless terminated earlier by our Board or extended by our Board with the approval of the stockholders.
 
Our Board may amend, suspend or terminate the 2008 Plan at any time, but such amendment, suspension or termination shall not adversely affect any Award then outstanding without the participant’s consent. Any amendment that would constitute a “material amendment” of the 2008 Plan (as determined by the Board, in its sole discretion, subject to the rules and regulations of the OTC Bulletin Board, if any, governing the use of such term in the context of an employee benefit plan), as amended, shall be subject to stockholder approval. Likewise, if the Exchange Act requires the Company to obtain stockholder approval, then such approval will be sought.
 
Unless approved by stockholders or as specifically otherwise required by the 2008 Plan (for example, in the case of a stock split), no adjustments or reduction of the exercise price of any outstanding incentive may be made in the event of a decline in stock price, either by reducing the exercise price of outstanding incentives or by canceling outstanding incentives in connection with re-granting incentives at a lower price to the same individual.
 
Awards may be exercised only by the Employee, Director, or Consultant to whom they are granted and are generally not assignable or transferable except for limited circumstances upon a grantee’s death, or pursuant to rules that may be adopted by the Board. The Board may establish rules and procedures to permit a grantee to defer recognition of income or gain for incentives under the 2008 Plan.

Specific Award Grants
 
It is anticipated that all members of the Board of Directors will participate in the 2008 Plan.  Although the 2008 Plan has been approved, the Board of Directors has not contracted with the Company to implement the 2008 Plan into effect.
 
Amendments to the 2008 Plan
 
Amendments, Termination, Alteration or Suspension of the plan will impair the rights of any participate, only if mutually agreed to, in writing and signed by the participant and the Company.

Section 1.                                Principal Office.  The principal office of Valley Forge Composite Technologies, Inc., a Florida corporation (the “Corporation”), shall be located in the County of Kenton, State of Kentucky, unless otherwise designated by the Board of Directors.
 
Section 2.                                Other Offices.  The Corporation may also have offices at such other places, either within or without the State of Kentucky, as the Board of Directors of the Corporation (the “Board of Directors”) may from time to time determine or as the business of the Corporation may require.
 
ARTICLE TWO
 
MEETINGS OF SHAREHOLDERS
 
Section 1.                                Place.  All annual meetings of shareholders shall be held at such place, within or without the State of Kentucky, as may be designated by the Board of Directors and stated in the notice of the meeting or in a duly executed waiver of notice thereof.  Special meetings of shareholders may be held at such place, within or without the State of Kentucky, and at such time as shall be stated in the notice of the meeting or in a duly executed waiver of notice thereof.
 
Section 2.                                Time of Annual Meeting.  Annual meetings of shareholders shall be held on such date and at such time fixed, from time to time, by the Board of Directors, provided that there shall be an annual meeting held every year at which the shareholders shall elect a Board of Directors and transact such other business as may properly be brought before the meeting.
 
Section 3.                                Call of Special Meetings.  Special meetings of the shareholders shall be held if called by the Board of Directors, the President, or if the holders of not less than 50 percent of all the votes entitled to be cast on any issue proposed to be considered at the proposed special meeting sign, date, and deliver to the Secretary one or more written demands for the meeting describing the purpose or purposes for which it is to be held.
 
Section 4.                                Conduct of Meetings.  The Chairman of the Board (or in his absence, the Vice Chairman of the Board, if any, or if none, the President or such other designee of the Chairman of the Board) shall preside at the annual and special meetings of shareholders and shall be given full discretion in establishing the rules and procedures to be followed in conducting the meetings, except as otherwise provided by law or in these Bylaws.
B-1-

 
Section 5.                                Notice and Waiver of Notice.  Except as otherwise provided by law, written or printed notice stating the place, day and hour of the meeting and, in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called, shall be delivered not less than 10 nor more than 60 days before the day of the meeting, either personally or by first-class mail, by or at the direction of the President, the Secretary, or the officer or person calling the meeting, to each shareholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting.  If the notice is mailed at least 30 days before the date of the meeting, it may be done by a class of United States mail other than first-class.  If mailed, such notice shall be deemed to be delivered when depos­ited in the United States mail addressed to the shareholder at his address as it appears on the stock transfer books of the Corporation, with postage thereon prepaid.  If a meeting is adjourned to another time and/or place, and if an announcement of the adjourned time and/or place is made at the meeting, it shall not be necessary to give notice of the adjourned meeting unless the Board of Directors, after adjourn­ment, fixes a new record date for the adjourned meeting.  Whenever any notice is required to be given to any shareholder, a waiver thereof in writing signed by the person or persons entitled to such notice, whether signed before, during or after the time of the meeting stated therein, and delivered to the Corporation for inclusion in the minutes or filing with the corporate records, shall be equivalent to the giving of such notice.  Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special meeting of the shareholders need be specified in any written waiver of notice.  Attendance of a person at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of (a) lack of or defective notice of such meeting, unless the person objects at the beginning to the holding of the meeting or the transacting of any business at the meeting, or (b) lack of defective notice of a particular matter at a meeting that is not within the purpose or purposes described in the meeting notice, unless the person objects to considering such matter when it is presented.
 
Section 6.                                Business of Special Meeting.  Business transacted at any special meeting shall be confined to the purposes stated in the notice thereof.
 
Section 7.                                Quorum.  Shares entitled to vote as a separate voting group may take action on a matter at a meeting only if a quorum of these shares exists with respect to that matter.  Except as otherwise provided in the Articles of Incorporation, as amended, or these Bylaws, a majority of the shares entitled to vote on the matter by each voting group, represented in person or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at any meeting of shareholders, but in no event shall a quorum consist of less than one-third (1/3) of the shares of each voting group entitled to vote.  If less than a majority of outstanding shares entitled to vote are represented at a meeting, a majority of the shares so represented may adjourn the meeting from time to time without further notice.  After a quorum has been established at any shareholders’ meeting, the subsequent withdrawal of shareholders, so as to reduce the number of shares entitled to vote at the meeting below the number required for a quorum, shall not affect the validity of any action taken at the meeting or any adjournment thereof.  Once a share is represented for any purpose at a meeting, it is deemed present for quorum purposes for the remainder of the meeting and for any adjournment of that meeting unless a new record date is or must be set for that adjourned meeting.
B-2-

 
Section 8.                                Voting Per Share.  Except as otherwise provided in the Articles of Incorporation, as amended, a resolution of the Board of Directors authorized thereby, or these Bylaws, each shareholder is entitled to one vote for each outstanding share held by him on each matter voted at a shareholders’ meeting.
 
Section 9.                                Voting of Shares.  A shareholder may vote at any meeting of shareholders of the Corporation, either in person or by proxy.  Shares standing in the name of another corporation, domestic or foreign, may be voted by the officer, agent or proxy designated by the bylaws of such corporate shareholder or, in the absence of any applicable bylaw, by such person or persons as the board of directors of the corporate shareholder may designate.  In the absence of any such designation, or, in case of conflicting designation by the corporate shareholder, the chairman of the board, the president, any vice president, the secretary and the treasurer of the corporate shareholder, in that order, shall be presumed to be fully authorized to vote such shares.  Shares held by an administrator, executor, guardian, personal representative, or conservator may be voted by him, either in person or by proxy, without a transfer of such shares into his name.  Shares standing in the name of a trustee may be voted by him, either in person or by proxy, but no trustee shall be entitled to vote shares held by him without a transfer of such shares into his name or the name of his nominee.  Shares held by or under the control of a receiver, a trustee in bankruptcy proceedings, or an assignee for the benefit of creditors may be voted by such person without the transfer thereof into his name.  If shares stand of record in the names of two or more persons, whether fiduciaries, members of a partnership, joint tenants, tenants in common, tenants by the entirety or otherwise, or if two or more persons have the same fiduciary relationship respecting the same shares, unless the Secretary of the Corporation is given notice to the contrary and is furnished with a copy of the instrument or order appointing them or creating the relationship wherein it is so provided, then acts with respect to voting shall have the following effect:  (a) if only one votes, in person or by proxy, his act binds all; (b) if more than one vote, in person or by proxy, the act of the majority so voting binds all; (c) if more than one vote, in person or by proxy, but the vote is evenly split on any particular matter, each faction is entitled to vote the share or shares in question proportionally; or (d) if the instrument or order so filed shows that any such tenancy is held in unequal interest, a majority or a vote evenly split for purposes hereof shall be a majority or a vote evenly split in interest.  The principles of this paragraph shall apply, insofar as possible, to execution of proxies, waivers, consents, or objections and for the purpose of ascertaining the presence of a quorum.
 
Section 10.                                Proxies.  Any shareholder of the Corporation, other person entitled to vote on behalf of a shareholder pursuant to law, or attorney-in-fact for such persons may vote the shareholder’s shares in person or by proxy.  Any shareholder of the Corporation may appoint a proxy to vote or otherwise act for him by signing an appointment form, either personally or by his attorney-in-fact.  A photographic, photostatic, electronically imaged or equivalent reproduction of an executed appointment form, shall be deemed a sufficient appointment form.  An appointment of a proxy is effective when received by the Secretary of the Corporation or such other officer or agent who is authorized to tabulate votes, and shall be valid for up to 11 months, unless a longer period is expressly provided in the appointment form.  The death or incapacity of the shareholder appointing a proxy does not affect the right of the Corporation to accept the proxy’s authority unless notice of the death or incapacity is received by the secretary or other officer or agent authorized to tabulate votes before the proxy exercises his authority under the appointment.  An appointment of a proxy is revocable by the shareholder unless the appointment is coupled with an interest.
B-3-

 
Section 11.                                Shareholder List.  After fixing a record date for a meeting of shareholders, the Corporation shall prepare an alphabetical list of the names of all its shareholders who are entitled to notice of the meeting, arranged by voting group with the address of, and the number and class and series, if any, of shares held by each.  The shareholders’ list must be available for inspection by any shareholder for a period of 10 days prior to the meeting or such shorter time as exists between the record date and the meeting and continuing through the meeting at the Corporation’s principal office, at a place identified in the meeting notice in the city where the meeting will be held, or at the office of the Corporation’s transfer agent or registrar.  Any shareholder of the Corporation or his agent or attorney is entitled on written demand to inspect the shareholders’ list (subject to the requirements of law), during regular business hours and at his expense, during the period it is available for inspection.  The Corporation shall make the shareholders’ list available at the meeting of shareholders, and any shareholder or his agent or attorney is entitled to inspect the list at any time during the meeting or any adjournment.
 
Section 12.                                Action Without Meeting.  Any action required by law to be taken at a meeting of shareholders, or any action that may be taken at a meeting of shareholders, may be taken without a meeting or notice if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted with respect to the subject matter thereof, and such consent shall have the same force and effect as a vote of shareholders taken at such a meeting.
 
Section 13.                                Fixing Record Date.  For the purpose of determining shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of shareholders or any adjournment thereof, or entitled to receive payment of any dividend, or in order to make a determination of shareholders for any other proper purposes, the Board of Directors may fix in advance a date as the record date for any such determination of shareholders, such date in any case to be not more than 60 days, and, in case of a meeting of shareholders, not less than 10 days, prior to the date on which the particular action requiring such determination of shareholders is to be taken.  If no record date is fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of shareholders, or shareholders entitled to receive payment of a dividend, the date on which the notice of the meeting is mailed or the date on which the resolutions of the Board of Directors declaring such dividend is adopted, as the case may be, shall be the record date for such determination of shareholders.  When a determination of shareholders entitled to vote at any meeting of shareholders has been made as provided in this Section 13, such determination shall apply to any adjournment thereof, except where the Board of Directors fixes a new record date for the adjourned meeting or as required by law.
 
Section 14.                                Inspectors and Judges.  The Board of Directors in advance of any meeting may, but need not, appoint one or more inspectors of election or judges of the vote, as the case may be, to act at the meeting or any adjournment(s) thereof.  If any inspector or inspectors, or judge or judges, are not appointed, the person presiding at the meeting may, but need not, appoint one or more inspectors or judges.  In case any person who may be appointed as an inspector or judge fails to appear or act, the vacancy may be filled by the Board of Directors in advance of the meeting, or at the meeting by the person presiding thereat.  The inspectors or judges, if any, shall determine the number of shares of stock outstanding and the voting power of each, the shares of stock represented at the meeting, the existence of a quorum, the validity and effect of proxies, and shall receive votes, ballots and consents, hear and determine all challenges and questions arising in connection with the right to vote, count and tabulate votes, ballots and consents, determine the result, and do such acts as are proper to conduct the election or vote with fairness to all shareholders.  On request of the person presiding at the meeting, the inspector or inspectors or judge or judges, if any, shall make a report in writing of any challenge, question or matter determined by him or them, and execute a certificate of any fact found by him or them.

INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
 
Section 1.                                Right to Indemnification. The Company shall indemnify each person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any threatened, pending or completed action, suit, proceeding or alternative dispute resolution procedure, whether (a) civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or otherwise, (b)formal or informal or (c) by or in the right of the Corporation (collectively, a "proceeding"), by reason of the fact that he or she, or a person of whom he or she is the legal representative, is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, manager, officer, partner, trustee, employee or agent of another foreign or domestic corporation or of a foreign or domestic limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as such a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or in any other capacity while serving as such other director, manager, officer, partner, trustee, employee or agent, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation against all judgments, penalties and fines incurred or paid, and against all expenses(including attorneys' fees) and settlement amounts incurred or paid, in connection with any such proceeding and any appeal or appeals thereof, if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in conformity with, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that the person's conduct was unlawful. Until such time as there has been a final judgment to the contrary, a person shall be presumed to be entitled to be indemnified under this Section 1. The termination of any proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, either rebut such presumption or create a presumption that (a) the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which the person reasonably believed to be in conformity with, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Corporation, (b) with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, the person had reasonable cause to believe that the person's conduct was unlawful or (c) the person was not successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of the proceeding or of any claim, issue or matter therein. If the FBCA is hereafter amended to provide for indemnification rights broader than those provided by this Section 1, then the persons referred to in this Section 1 shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to the fullest extent permitted by the FBCA as so amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than permitted prior to such amendment).
B-12-

 
Section 2.                                Determination of Entitlement to Indemnification. A determination as to whether a person who is a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation at the time of the determination is entitled to be indemnified and held harmless under Section 1 shall be made (a) a majority vote of the directors who are not parties to such proceeding, even though less than a quorum, (b) by a committee of such directors designated by majority vote of such directors, even though less than a quorum, (c) if there are no such directors, or if such directors so direct, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (d) by the stockholders. A determination as to whether a person who is not a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation at the time of the determination is entitled to be indemnified and held harmless under Section 1 shall be made by or as directed by the Board of Directors of the Corporation.
 
Section 3.                                Mandatory Advancement of Expenses. The right to indemnification conferred in this Article Eight is a contract right and shall include the right to require the Corporation to pay the expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition; provided, however, that, if the Board of Directors so determines, an advancement of expenses incurred by an indemnitee in his or her capacity as a director or officer of the Corporation (but not in any other capacity in which service was or is rendered by such indemnitee, including, without limitation, service to an employee benefit plan) shall be made only upon delivery to the Corporation of an undertaking, by or on behalf of such indemnitee, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall be finally determined pursuant to the procedure in Section 2 above that such indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified for such expenses under Section 1 or otherwise.
 
Section 4.                                Written Claim Required, Deadline for Response.  If a claim under Section 1 is not paid in full by the Corporation within thirty days after a written claim has been received by the Corporation, the claimant may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim and, if successful in whole or in part, the claimant shall be entitled to an award of reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses for prosecuting the claim.  It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for expenses incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition where the required undertaking, if any is required, has been tendered to the Corporation) that the claimant has not met the standards of conduct which make it permissible under the FBCA for the Corporation to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed, but the burden of proving such defense shall be on the Corporation.  Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its board of directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the FBCA, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including its board of directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) that the claimant has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that the claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct.
B-13-

 
Section 5.                                Non-Exclusivity of Rights. The right to indemnification and the advancement of expenses conferred in this Article Eight shall not be exclusive of any other right which any person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, any provision of the Articles of Incorporation, as amended, or of any bylaw, agreement, or insurance policy or arrangement, or any vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise, both as to action in such person's official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office, and shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.
 
Section 6.                                Authority to Indemnify and Obtain Insurance.  The Board of Directors is expressly authorized to adopt and enter into indemnification agreements with, and obtain insurance for, directors, officers, employees or agents of the Corporation and those serving at the request of the Corporation as directors, managers, officers, partners, trustees, employees or agents of another foreign or domestic corporation or of a foreign or domestic limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit plans.

6.3.3    Substitute Options.  Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 6.3.1 and 6.3.2, in the event that the Company consummates a transaction described in section 424(a) of the Code, persons who become Participants on account of such transaction may be granted Options in substitution for options granted by such former employer or recipient of services.  If such substitute Options are granted, the Board, consistent with section 424(a) of the Code, may determine that such substitute Options shall have an exercise price less than one hundred (100%) of the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the Grant Date.

6.5           Exercise of Options.  Options granted under this Plan shall be exercisable at such times and be subject to such restrictions and conditions as the Board shall determine.  After an Option is granted, the Board may accelerate the exercisability of the Option.  If the Board provides that any Option is exercisable only in installments, the Board may at any time waive such installment exercise provisions, in whole or in part, based on such factors as the Board may determine.
C-11-

 
6.6           Payment.  Options shall be exercised by the Participant’s delivery of a written notice of exercise to the Board (or its designee), setting forth the number of Shares with respect to which the Option is to be exercised, accompanied by full payment for the Shares.  Upon the exercise of any Option, the Exercise Price shall be payable to the Company in full in cash or its equivalent.  The Board also may permit exercise (a) by tendering previously acquired Shares having an aggregate Fair Market Value at the time of exercise equal to the total Exercise Price, or (b) by any other means which the Board determines (i) to provide legal consideration for the Shares, and (ii) to be consistent with the purposes of this Plan.  As soon as practicable after receipt of a written notification of exercise and full payment for the Shares purchased, the Company shall deliver to the Participant, Share certificates (which may be in book entry form) representing such Shares.

6.8           Termination of Service.
 
6.8.1  Termination for Cause.  An Option may not be exercised in the event a Participant’s Termination of Service is for cause.
 
6.8.2  Termination Due To Disability, or Retirement. Unless otherwise specifically provided in the Award Agreement, an Option may not be exercised more than one (1) year after a Participant’s Termination of Service due to Disability, or Retirement.  Unless otherwise provided by the Administrator, if on the date of termination the Participant is not vested as to his or her entire Option, the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option will revert to the Plan. If after termination the Participant does not exercise his or her Option within the time specified herein, the Option will terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option will revert to the Plan.

If no such beneficiary has been designated by the Participant, then such Option may be exercised by the personal representative of the Participant’s estate or by the person(s) to whom the Option is transferred pursuant to the Participant’s will or in accordance with the laws of descent and distribution. In the absence of a specified time in the Award Agreement, the Option will remain exercisable for twelve (12) months following Participant’s death. Unless otherwise provided by the Administrator, if at the time of death Participant is not vested as to his or her entire Option, the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option will immediately revert to the Plan. If the Option is not so exercised within the time specified herein, the Option will terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option will revert to the Plan.

6.8.4   Termination For Other Reasons.  Unless otherwise specifically provided in the Award Agreement, an Option may not be exercised more than ninety (90) days after a Participant’s Termination of Service for any reason other than described in Section 6.8.2 or 6.8.3.

Subject to the terms and provisions of this Plan, the Board, at any time and from time to time, may grant Shares of Restricted Stock to Participants in such amounts as the Board shall determine.  The Board shall determine the number of Shares to be granted to each Participant; provided, however, no Participant shall receive more than 100,000 Shares of Restricted Stock during any Fiscal Year.
 
7.2           The terms and conditions of Restricted Stock Award Agreements may change from time to time, and the terms and conditions of separate Restricted Stock Award Agreements need not be identical, provided, however, that each Restricted Stock Award Agreement shall include (through incorporation of provisions hereof by reference in the agreement or otherwise) the substance of each of the following provisions:
               
7.2.1  Consideration. A Restricted Stock Award may be awarded in consideration for (A) past or future services actually or to be rendered to the Company or an Affiliate, or (B) any other form of legal consideration that may be acceptable to the Board in its sole discretion and permissible under applicable law.

7.3           Transferability. Rights to acquire shares of Common Stock under the Restricted Stock Award Agreement shall be transferable by the Participant only upon such terms and conditions as are set forth in the Restricted Stock Award Agreement, as the Board shall determine in its sole discretion, so long as Common Stock awarded under the Restricted Stock Award Agreement remains subject to the terms of the Restricted Stock Award Agreement.

7.5           Removal of Restrictions.  Shares of Restricted Stock covered by each Restricted Stock grant made under this Plan shall be released from escrow as soon as practicable after the end of the applicable Period of Restriction.  The Board may accelerate the time at which any restrictions shall lapse and remove any restrictions.   After the end of the applicable Period of Restriction, the Participant shall be entitled to have any legend or legends under Section 7.4.2 removed from his or her Share certificate, and the Shares shall be freely transferable by the Participant.

7.7           Dividends and Other Distributions.  During the Period of Restriction, Participants holding Shares of Restricted Stock shall be entitled to receive all dividends and other distributions paid with respect to such Shares unless otherwise provided in the applicable Award Agreement.  If any such dividends or distributions are paid in Shares, the Shares shall be subject to the same restrictions on transferability and forfeitability as the Shares of Restricted Stock with respect to which they were paid.
 
7.8            Return of Restricted Stock to Company.  On the date set forth in the applicable Award Agreement, the Restricted Stock for which restrictions have not lapsed shall revert to the Company and thereafter shall be available for grant under this Plan.

8.1           Grant of Performance Units/Shares. Performance Units and Performance Shares may be granted to Service Providers at any time and from time to time, as will be determined by the Administrator, in its sole discretion. The Administrator will have complete discretion in determining the number of Performance Units and Performance Shares granted to each Participant.
 
8.2           Value of Performance Units/Shares. Each Performance Unit will have an initial value that is established by the Administrator on or before the date of grant. Each Performance Share will have an initial value equal to the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant.
C-14-

 
8.3           Performance Objectives and Other Terms. The Administrator will set performance objectives or other vesting provisions (including, without limitation, continued status as a Service Provider) in its discretion which, depending on the extent to which they are met, will determine the number or value of Performance Units/Shares that will be paid out to the Service Providers. The time period during which the performance objectives or other vesting provisions must be met will be called the “Performance Period.” Each Award of Performance Units/Shares will be evidenced by an Award Agreement that will specify the Performance Period, and such other terms and conditions as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, will determine. The Administrator may set performance objectives based upon the achievement of Company-wide, divisional, or individual goals, applicable federal or state securities laws, or any other basis determined by the Administrator in its discretion.
 
8.4           Earning of Performance Units/Shares. After the applicable Performance Period has ended, the holder of Performance Units/Shares will be entitled to receive a payout of the number of Performance Units/Shares earned by the Participant over the Performance Period, to be determined as a function of the extent to which the corresponding performance objectives or other vesting provisions have been achieved. After the grant of a Performance Unit/Share, the Administrator, in its sole discretion, may reduce or waive any performance objectives or other vesting provisions for such Performance Unit/Share.
 
8.5           Form and Timing of Payment of Performance Units/Shares. Payment of earned Performance Units/Shares will be made as soon as practicable after the expiration of the applicable Performance Period.

8.6           Cancellation of Performance Units/Shares. On the date set forth in the Award Agreement, all unearned or unvested Performance Units/Shares will be forfeited to the Company, and again will be available for grant under the Plan.
 
SECTION 9
LEAVES OF ABSENCE/TRANSFER BETWEEN LOCATIONS
 
Unless the Administrator provides otherwise, vesting of Awards granted hereunder will be suspended during any unpaid leave of absence. A Service Provider will not cease to be an Employee in the case of (i) any leave of absence approved by the Company or (ii) transfers between locations of the Company or between the Company, its Parent, or any Subsidiary. For purposes of Incentive Stock Options, no such leave may exceed ninety (90) days, unless reemployment upon expiration of such leave is guaranteed by statute or contract. If reemployment upon expiration of a leave of absence approved by the Company is not so guaranteed, then three (3) months following the ninety-first (91st) day of such leave any Incentive Stock Option held by the Participant will cease to be treated as an Incentive Stock Option and will be treated for tax purposes as a Nonqualified Stock Option.
C-15-

 
SECTION 10
TRANSFERABILITY OF AWARDS
 
10.1           General. Unless determined otherwise by the Administrator, an Award may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred, or disposed of in any manner other than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution and may be exercised, during the lifetime of the Participant, only by the Participant. If the Administrator makes an Award transferable, such Award will contain such additional terms and conditions as the Administrator deems appropriate.
 
10.2           Award Transfer Program. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of the Plan, the Administrator shall have all discretion and authority to determine and implement the terms and conditions of any Award Transfer Program instituted pursuant to this Section 10 and shall have the authority to amend the terms of any Award participating, or otherwise eligible to participate in, the Award Transfer Program, including (but not limited to) the authority to (i) amend (including to extend) the expiration date, post-termination exercise period and/or forfeiture conditions of any such Award, (ii) amend or remove any provisions of the Award relating to the Award holder’s continued service to the Company, (iii) amend the permissible payment methods with respect to the exercise or purchase of any such Award, (iv) amend the adjustments to be implemented in the event of changes in the capitalization and other similar events with respect to such Award, and (v) make such other changes to the terms of such Award as the Administrator deems necessary or appropriate in its sole discretion.
 
SECTION 11
ADJUSTMENTS UPON CHANGES IN CAPITALIZATION; DISSOLUTION OR LIQUIDATION; MERGER OR CHANGE IN CONTROL
 
11.1           Changes in Capitalization. Subject to any required action by the stockholders of the Company, the number of shares of Common Stock which has been authorized for issuance under the Plan, including Shares as to which no Award have yet been granted or which have been returned to the Plan upon cancellation or expiration of an Award and including the annual increase provided for in Section 3, the number of shares of Common Stock covered by each outstanding Award and/or the price per share of Common Stock covered by each such outstanding Award, shall be proportionately adjusted for any dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, Shares, other securities, or other property), recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, repurchase, or exchange of Shares or other securities of the Company, or other change in the corporate structure of the Company affecting the Shares occurs in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan. Such adjustment shall be made by the Administrator, whose determination in that respect shall be final, binding and conclusive. Notwithstanding the preceding, the number of Shares subject to any Award always shall be a whole number. 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 an Award.
 
11.2           Dissolution or Liquidation. In the event of the proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Administrator will notify each Participant as soon as practicable prior to the effective date of such proposed transaction. To the extent it has not been previously exercised, an Award will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed action.
C-16-

 
11.3           Merger or Change in Control. In the event of a merger or Change in Control, each outstanding Award will be treated as the Administrator determines, including, without limitation, that each Award be assumed or an equivalent option or right substituted by the successor corporation or a Parent or Subsidiary of the successor corporation. The Administrator will not be required to treat all Awards similarly in the transaction.
In the event that the successor corporation does not assume or substitute for the Award, the Participant will fully vest in and have the right to exercise all of his or her outstanding Options, including Shares as to which such Awards would not otherwise be vested or exercisable, all restrictions on Restricted Stock will lapse, and all performance goals or other vesting criteria will be deemed achieved at one hundred percent (100%) of target levels and all other terms and conditions met. In addition, if an Option is not assumed or substituted in the event of a Change in Control, the Administrator will notify the Participant in writing or electronically that the Option will be exercisable for a period of time determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion, and the Option will terminate upon the expiration of such period.
 
For the purposes of this subsection, an Award will be considered assumed if, following the Change in Control, the Award confers the right to purchase or receive, for each Share subject to the Award immediately prior to the Change in Control, the consideration (whether stock, cash, or other securities or property) received in the Change in Control 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 Change in Control 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 an Option or upon the payout of a Performance Unit or Performance Share, for each Share subject to such Award, 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 Change in Control.
 
Notwithstanding anything in this Section 11.3 to the contrary, an Award that vests, is earned or paid-out upon the satisfaction of one or more performance goals will not be considered assumed if the Company or its successor modifies any of such performance goals without the Participant’s consent; provided, however, a modification to such performance goals only to reflect the successor corporation’s post-Change in Control corporate structure will not be deemed to invalidate an otherwise valid Award assumption.
 
11.4           Outside Director Awards. With respect to Awards granted to an Outside Director that are assumed or substituted for, if on the date of or following such assumption or substitution the Participant’s status as a Director or a director of the successor corporation, as applicable, is terminated other than upon a voluntary resignation by the Participant (unless such resignation is at the request of the acquirer), then the Participant will fully vest in and have the right to exercise Options as to all of the Shares underlying such Award, including those Shares which would not otherwise be vested or exercisable, all restrictions on Restricted Stock will lapse, and, with respect to Performance Units and Performance Shares, all performance goals or other vesting criteria will be deemed achieved at one hundred percent (100%) of target levels and all other terms and conditions met.
C-17-

  
SECTION 12
TAX WITHHOLDING
 
12.1           Withholding Requirements. Prior to the delivery of any Shares or cash pursuant to an Award (or exercise thereof), the Company will have the power and the right to deduct or withhold, or require a Participant to remit to the Company, an amount sufficient to satisfy federal, state, local, foreign or other taxes (including the Participant’s FICA obligation) required to be withheld with respect to such Award (or exercise thereof).
 
12.2           Withholding Arrangements. The Administrator, in its sole discretion and pursuant to such procedures as it may specify from time to time, may permit a Participant to satisfy such tax withholding obligation, in whole or in part (without limitation), by (a) paying cash, (b) electing to have the Company withhold otherwise deliverable Shares, or (c) delivering to the Company Shares then owned by the Participant having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount required to be withheld.  The amount of the withholding requirement shall be deemed to include any amount that the Board agrees may be withheld at the time any such election is made, not to exceed the amount determined by using the maximum federal, state or local marginal income tax rates applicable to the Participant with respect to the Award on the date that the amount of tax to be withheld is to be determined.  The Fair Market Value of the Shares to be withheld or delivered shall be determined as of the date that the taxes are required to be withheld.
 
SECTION 13
MISCELLANEOUS
 
13.1           Term of Plan. Subject to Section 21 of the Plan, the Plan will become effective upon its adoption by the Board. It will continue in effect for a term of ten (10) years from the date adopted by the Board, unless terminated earlier under Section 14 of the Plan.
 
13.2           No Employment or Other Service Rights. Nothing in the Plan, any Stock Award Agreement or other instrument executed thereunder or in connection with any Award granted pursuant to the Plan shall confer upon any Participant any right to continue to serve the Company or an Affiliate in the capacity in effect at the time the Stock Award was granted or shall affect the right of the Company or an Affiliate to terminate (i) the employment of an Employee with or without notice and with or without cause, (ii) the service of a Consultant pursuant to the terms of such Consultant’s agreement with the Company or an Affiliate, or (iii) the service of a Director pursuant to the Bylaws of the Company or an Affiliate, and any applicable provisions of the corporate law of the state in which the Company or the Affiliate is incorporated, as the case may be.
 
13.3           Use of Proceeds from Sales of Common Stock. Proceeds from the sale of shares of Common Stock pursuant to Stock Awards shall constitute general funds of the Company.
 
13.4           Corporate Action Constituting Grant of Stock Awards. Corporate action constituting a grant by the Company of a Stock Award to any Participant shall be deemed completed as of the date of such corporate action, unless otherwise determined by the Board, regardless of when the instrument, certificate, or letter evidencing the Stock Award is communicated to, or actually received or accepted by, the Participant.
 
13.5           Stockholder Rights. No Participant shall be deemed to be the holder of, or to have any of the rights of a holder with respect to, any shares of Common Stock subject to such Stock Award unless and until such Participant has exercised the Stock Award pursuant to its terms and the Participant shall not be deemed to be a stockholder of record until the issuance of the Common Stock pursuant to such exercise has been entered into the books and records of the Company.
C-18-

     
13.6           Investment Assurances. The Company may require a Participant, as a condition of exercising or acquiring Common Stock under any Stock Award, (i) to give written assurances satisfactory to the Company as to the Participant’s knowledge and experience in financial and business matters and/or to employ a purchaser representative reasonably satisfactory to the Company who is knowledgeable and experienced in financial and business matters and that he or she is capable of evaluating, alone or together with the purchaser representative, the merits and risks of exercising the Stock Award; and (ii) to give written assurances satisfactory to the Company stating that the Participant is acquiring Common Stock subject to the Stock Award for the Participant’s own account and not with any present intention of selling or otherwise distributing the Common Stock. The foregoing requirements, and any assurances given pursuant to such requirements, shall be inoperative if (x) the issuance of the shares upon the exercise or acquisition of Common Stock under the Stock Award has been registered under a then currently effective registration statement under the Securities Act, or (y) as to any particular requirement, a determination is made by counsel for the Company that such requirement need not be met in the circumstances under the then applicable securities laws. The Company may, upon advice of counsel to the Company, place legends on stock certificates issued under the Plan as such counsel deems necessary or appropriate in order to comply with applicable securities laws, including, but not limited to, legends restricting the transfer of the Common Stock.
 
13.7           Electronic Delivery. Any reference herein to a “written” agreement or document shall include any agreement or document delivered electronically or posted on the Company’s intranet.
 
13.8            Deferrals. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Board, in its sole discretion, may determine that the delivery of Common Stock or the payment of cash, upon the exercise, vesting or settlement of all or a portion of any Award may be deferred and may establish programs and procedures for deferral elections to be made by Participants. Deferrals by Participants will be made in accordance with Section 409A of the Code. Consistent with Section 409A of the Code, the Board may provide for distributions while a Participant is still an employee. The Board is authorized to make deferrals of Stock Awards and determine when, and in what annual percentages, Participants may receive payments, including lump sum payments, following the Participant’s termination of employment or retirement, and implement such other terms and conditions consistent with the provisions of the Plan and in accordance with applicable law.
 
 13.9           Compliance with Section 409A. To the extent that the Board determines that any Award granted under the Plan is subject to Section 409A of the Code, the Award Agreement evidencing such Award shall incorporate the terms and conditions necessary to avoid the consequences described in Section 409A(a)(1) of the Code. To the extent applicable, the Plan and Award Agreements shall be interpreted in accordance with Section 409A of the Code and Department of Treasury regulations and other interpretive guidance issued thereunder, including without limitation any such regulations or other guidance that may be issued or amended after the Effective Date. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, in the event that following the Effective Date the Board determines that any Award may be subject to Section 409A of the Code and related Department of Treasury guidance (including such Department of Treasury guidance as may be issued after the Effective Date), the Board may adopt such amendments to the Plan and the applicable Award Agreement or adopt other policies and procedures (including amendments, policies and procedures with retroactive effect), or take any other actions, that the Board determines are necessary or appropriate to (1) exempt the Award from Section 409A of the Code and/or preserve the intended tax treatment of the benefits provided with respect to the Award, or (2) comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and related Department of Treasury guidance.

13.12         Successors. All obligations of the Company under this Plan, with respect to Awards granted hereunder, shall be binding on any successor to the Company, whether the existence of such successor is the result of a direct or indirect purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise, of all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Company.
 
13.13         Beneficiary Designations.  If permitted by the Board, a Participant under this Plan may name a beneficiary or beneficiaries to whom any vested but unpaid Award shall be paid in the event of the Participant’s death.  Each such designation shall revoke all prior designations by the Participant and shall be effective only if given in a form and manner acceptable to the Board.  In the absence of any such designation, any vested benefits remaining unpaid at the Participant’s death shall be paid to the Participant’s estate and, subject to the terms of this Plan and of the applicable Award Agreement, any unexercised vested Award may be exercised by the administrator or executor of the Participant’s estate.

INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT
OF
VALLEY FORGE COMPOSITE TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
(A Florida Corporation)
 
This INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT (“Option Agreement”) is entered into as of ____________, 2008 (the “Grant Date”), by and between Valley Forge Composite Technologies, Inc., a Florida corporation (the “Company”), and ___________________ (the “Participant”).
 
The Company and Participant agree as follows:
 
1.           Grant of Option. Participant is hereby granted an Incentive Stock Option, within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code (the “Option”), to purchase Common Stock of the Company pursuant to the Valley Forge Composite Technologies, Inc. 2008 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). The Option and this Option Agreement are subject to and shall be construed in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Plan, as now or hereinafter in effect. Any terms which are used in this Option Agreement without being defined and which are defined in the Plan shall have the meaning specified in the Plan. This Option may only be granted to persons who are Employees of the Company or a Subsidiary on the Grant Date.
 
2.           Date of Grant. The date of the grant of the Option is the date set forth above, the date of the action by the Board of Directors or its Committee which administers the Plan (the “Board”) in granting the same.
 
3.            Number and Price of Shares. The Option entitles the Participant to purchase _________ shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Option Shares”), at a price of $______ per share (the “Option Price”). The exercise price shall not be less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the Grant Date.
 
4.           Exercise of Option.
 
(a)           Vesting.  25 percent (25%) of the Option Shares (rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares) shall vest on first anniversary of the Grant Date; and the remaining Option Shares shall vest ratably (rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares), as of the last day of each calendar month, over the next 36-month period.
 
(b)           After an Option is granted, the Board may accelerate the exercisability of the Option. If the Board provides that any Option is exercisable only in installments, the Board may at any time waive such installment exercise provisions, in whole or in part, based on such factors as the Board may determine.
C-23-

 
(c)           In all events, vesting under this Section shall cease upon termination of Participant’s service with the Company for any reason.  Termination of Service as defined in the Plan means (a) in the case of an Employee, a cessation of the employee-employer relationship between an employee and the Company for any reason, and (b) in the case of a Director or Consultant, a cessation of service as a member of the Board for any reason; but excluding in all cases any such cessation where there is a simultaneous reengagement of individual by the Company.
 
(d)           Time of Exercise.  No Incentive Stock Option may be exercised after the expiration of ten (10) years from the Grant Date; provided, however, that if the Option is granted to an Employee who, together with persons whose stock ownership is attributed to the Employee pursuant to section 424(d) of the Code, owns stock possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all class of stock of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, the Option may not be exercised after expiration of five (5) years from the Grant Date.
 
If the Participant does not pertain to the provision 4(d) above, then the Participant may exercise the right to purchase vested Option Shares at any time, in whole or in part, on or before the earlier of:
 
(i)           Twelve (12) months following the Participant’s Termination of Service due to death or Disability; or
 
(ii)           Ninety (90) days following the Participant’s Termination of Service for a reason other than death or Disability; or
 
(iii)           The tenth (10th) anniversary of the Grant Date.
 
In the event the Participant fails to exercise his right to acquire vested Option Shares within the foregoing timeframe, all rights of the Participant with respect to such Option Shares shall terminate.
 
(e)           Change of Control.  Notwithstanding any provision in this Option Agreement or the Plan to the contrary, a Change in Control shall not accelerate vesting with respect to the Participant’s outstanding Option Shares.
 
5.           Notice of Exercise.  The Participant, or the person or persons having the right to exercise the Option upon the death or Disability of the Participant, shall exercise the Option by delivering to the Company written notice specifying the number of Option Shares which the Participant elects to purchase, together with either (i) cash, (ii) cancellation of any indebtedness owed by the Company to the Participant, or (iii) any combination of the above, the sum of which equals the total price to be paid upon the exercise of the Option, and the common stock purchased shall thereupon be promptly delivered.  The Participant will not be deemed to be a holder of any shares, pursuant to the exercise of the Option, until the date of issuance to the Participant of a stock certificate, for such shares, and until the shares are paid in full.
 
6.           Limited Transferability of Option. This Option may not be transferred, gifted, bequeathed, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated, voluntarily or involuntarily, except that the Board may permit a transfer, upon the Participant’s death, to beneficiaries designated by the Participant as provided in Sections 13.14 and 6.8.3 of the Plan. The Board may also permit a limited transfer due to disability, or retirement as provided in Section 6.8.2 of the Plan.
C-24-

 
7.           Forfeiture of Option and Option Proceeds. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Option Agreement, if the Participant incurs a Termination of Service for Cause (as defined below), then the following events of “Forfeiture” shall occur:
 
(a)           The Participant’s unexercised Options, irrespective of whether or not exercisable or vested, shall immediately terminate; and
 
(b)           The Company, in its sole discretion, shall have the right to acquire from the Participant all or any portion of the Option Shares previously issued to the Participant for cash in an amount equal to Option Price paid by the Participant with respect to such shares, without interest.  The Company may exercise its right under this subparagraph by giving written notice thereof to the Participant not more than one year after the event giving rise to such Forfeiture, with such notice including the number of Option Shares to be acquired by the Company, the closing date of such acquisition (which shall not be more than thirty (30) days after the date of such notice), and the purchase price of such Option Shares.
 
For the purposes of this Option Agreement, Termination of Service for “Cause” shall occur if the Board reasonably and in good faith determines that the Participant (i) has committed a significant act of dishonesty, deceit or breach of duty in the performance of the Participant’s duties for the Company or a Subsidiary, including but not limited to, fraud, dishonesty, embezzlement, failure of the Participant to follow the directions of the Board or the officers and supervisors of the Company, or any willful or negligent misconduct; (ii) is convicted of, or files a guilty plea or plea of nolo contendere to any felony, misdemeanor involving moral turpitude, or crime or offense involving dishonesty with respect to the Company; or (iii) has failed to comply with the covenants contained in the Plan or any other restrictive covenants that may apply with respect to the Participant.
 
This Section 7 shall survive termination of this Option Agreement. The Participant acknowledges and agrees that the restrictions contained in this Section 7 are necessary for the protection of the business and goodwill of the Company and are considered by the Participant to be reasonable for such purpose.  The Participant agrees that any breach of this Section 7 will result in substantial and irrevocable damage to the Company and therefore, in the event of any such breach, in addition to the consequences set forth in the first paragraph of this Section 7 and such other remedies which may be available, the Company shall have the right to seek specific performance and injunctive relief.
 
8.           Notices.  Any notice required or permitted under this Option Agreement shall be deemed given when delivered personally, or when deposited in a United States Post Office, postage prepaid, addressed, as appropriate, to the Participant or the Company.
 
9.           Withholding of Taxes.  As a condition to the issuance of the Option Shares, the Participant shall (a) remit to the Company at the time of any exercise of the Option any taxes required to be withheld by the Company under federal, state or local laws as a result of the exercise of the Option; or (b) instruct the Company to withhold in accordance with applicable law from any compensation payable to the Participant the taxes required to be held by the Company under federal, state or local laws as a result of the exercise of the Option; or (c) make other arrangements acceptable to the Board in its discretion. The Company may in its sole and absolute discretion withhold a portion of the Option Shares that otherwise would be issued to the Participant upon exercise of the Option in order to satisfy tax withholding requirements, or it may in its sole and absolute discretion permit Participant to tender Option Shares previously acquired in order to satisfy such requirements.  The determination of the amount of any such withholding and the satisfaction of this condition shall be made by the Company in its sole discretion.
C-25-

 
10.           Disposition of Option Shares.  As a condition of issuing the Option Shares hereunder, the Participant agrees that unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, a Participant may not sell, make any short sale of, grant any option for the purchase of, or otherwise dispose of any Option Shares issued pursuant to this Option Agreement other than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution, and, during the lifetime of the Participant, may be exercised only by the Participant.
 
11.           Restrictions on Transfer and Right of First Refusal.  In the event that the Participant incurs a Termination of Service for any reason, the Company shall have the right to acquire from the Participant all or a portion of such Option Shares for cash in an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of the Option Shares by giving written notice thereof to the Participant not more than 3 months after such termination (or if later, one year after the last date that any outstanding Option awarded under this Option Agreement may be exercised by the Participant following such termination), such notice to include the number of Option Shares to be acquired by the Company, the closing date of such acquisition (which shall not be more than thirty (30) days after the date of such notice), and the Fair Market Value of such Option Shares.
 
12.           Adjustment of Option Shares. In the event of any merger, reorganization, consolidation, recapitalization, separation, liquidation, stock split, stock dividend, or other change affecting the corporate structure of the Company’s Shares, the Board shall adjust the number and class of Shares which may be delivered under the Plan, the number, class and price of Shares subject to outstanding Awards, and the numerical limits of Sections 4.1, 6.1, and 7.1 of the Plan in such a manner as the Board shall determine to be advisable or appropriate to prevent the dilution or diminution of such Awards.
 
13.           Legend on Stock Certificates.  All stock certificates representing shares of common stock issued to the Participant upon exercise of this Option shall have affixed thereto a legend substantially in the following form, in addition to any other legends required by the Company or applicable state law:
 
“THE SHARES OF STOCK REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED UNLESS AND UNTIL SUCH STOCK IS REGISTERED UNDER SUCH ACT OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY IS OBTAINED TO THE EFFECT THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.  THE SHARES OF STOCK REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE ALSO SUBJECT TO OTHER RESTRICTIONS ENFORCED PURSUANT TO THE TERMS OF THE COMPANY’S 2008 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN.”
 
14.           Employee Benefits. Participant agrees that the grant and vesting of the Option and the receipt of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Option will constitute special incentive compensation that will not be taken into account as “salary” or “compensation” or “bonus” in determining the amount of any payment under any pension, retirement, profit sharing or other remuneration plan of the Company.
 
15.           No Employment Contract.  Participant understands and agrees that this Agreement is not an employment contract and nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to create in any way whatsoever any obligation on the Participant's part to continue to work for the Company (or any subsidiary of the Company), or of the Company (or any subsidiary of the Company) to continue to employ the Participant, if applicable.
 
16.           Failure to Enforce Not a Waiver.  The failure of the Company to enforce at any time any provision of this Option Agreement shall in no way be construed to be a waiver of such provision or of any other provision hereof.
C-26-

 
17.           Receipt and Incorporation of Plan.  By entering into this Option Agreement, Participant acknowledges (i) that he or she has received and read a copy of the Plan, (ii) that this Option Agreement is subject to and shall be construed in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Plan, as now or hereinafter in effect, and (iii) that the Plan is hereby incorporated by reference and made a part hereof, and the Option and this Option Agreement are subject to all terms and conditions of the Plan, as the same may be amended from time to time in the discretion of the Board.
 
18.           Governing Law. The terms of this Award Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida applicable to contracts made and to be performed entirely within Florida.
 
19.           Amendment. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, the Board may modify, extend or renew the Option, or accept the surrender of the Option to the extent not theretofore exercised and authorize the granting of new Options in substitution therefore, except that no such action shall diminish or impair the rights under the Option without the consent of the Participant.
 
20.           Interpretation. The interpretations and constructions of any provision of and determinations on any question arising under the Plan or this Option Agreement in good faith shall be made by the Board, and all such interpretations, constructions and determinations shall be final and conclusive as to all parties.

Unless otherwise defined herein, the terms defined in the Plan shall have the same defined meanings in this Agreement. In the event of a conflict between the terms of the Plan and this Agreement, the Plan shall prevail.
 
1.           Restricted Stock. The Board shall determine the number of Shares of Restricted Stock to be granted to each Participant; provided, however, no Participant shall receive more than 100,000 Shares of Restricted Stock during any Fiscal Year.
 
2.           Vesting Schedule and Conversion of SAs. Subject to the terms of this Award Agreement and the Plan and provided that Participant continues to serve as an Employee or Consultant of the Company throughout the vesting periods set out below, the SAs shall vest and be converted into an equivalent number of Shares that will be distributed to the Participant as follows, provided that fractional shares shall be rounded up to the nearest whole number or paid in cash at the discretion of the Company:
 
(a)           Twenty-five percent (25%) of the SAs shall vest on first anniversary of the Award Date; and the remaining SAs shall vest ratably, over the next 36-month period.
 
(b)           The Merger or Change in Control provisions in Section 11 of the Plan shall, in appropriate circumstances, modify the application of the vesting provisions above.
 
3.           Termination of Participant’s Status.  In the event of termination of Participant’s status as an Employee or Consultant of the Company, Participant’s rights under this Award Agreement in any unvested SAs shall terminate.
 
4.           Conversion of SAs to Shares. Provided Participant has satisfied the requirements of Section 5 below, on the vesting of any SAs, such vested SAs shall be converted into an equivalent number of Shares that will be distributed to Participant or, in the event of Participant’s death, to Participant’s legal representative, as soon as practicable. An Participant’s rights with respect to the SAs issued under this Award Agreement shall terminate at the time such SAs are converted into Shares. The distribution to the Participant of Shares in respect of the vested SAs shall be evidenced by a stock certificate, appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company, or other appropriate means as determined by the Company. In the event ownership or issuance of Shares is not feasible due to applicable exchange controls, securities regulations, tax laws or other provisions of applicable law, as determined by the Company in its sole discretion, Participant shall receive cash proceeds in an amount equal to the value of the Shares otherwise distributable to Participant, net of the satisfaction of the requirements of Section 5 below.
C-29-

 
5.           Withholding of Taxes. Prior to the issuance of Common Shares upon vesting of SAs or the receipt of an equivalent cash payment as provided in Section 4 above, Participant shall pay, or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company to satisfy any withholding obligations of the Company. Except where applicable legal or regulatory provisions prohibit, the standard process for the payment of a Participant’s withholding obligations shall be for the Company to withhold in Common Shares only to the amount of shares necessary to satisfy the minimum withholding amount.
 
6.           Rights With Respect to Shares. Until the distribution to Participant of the Shares in respect to the vested SAs is evidenced by a stock certificate, appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company, or other appropriate means, Participant shall have no right to vote or receive dividends or any other rights as a shareholder with respect to such Shares, notwithstanding the vesting of SAs. The Company shall cause such distribution to Participant to occur promptly upon the vesting of SAs.
 
7.           Non-Transferability of SAs.  Participant’s right in the SAs awarded under this Award Agreement and any interest therein may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred, or disposed of in any manner, other than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution, prior to the distribution of the Shares in respect of such SAs. SAs shall not be subject to execution, attachment or other process.
 
8.           Additional Representations by Participant
 
(a)           By accepting the Award of SAs evidenced by this Award Agreement, Participant agrees not to sell any of the Shares received on account of vested SAs at a time when applicable laws or Company policies prohibit a sale. This restriction shall apply so long as Participant is an Employee or Consultant of the Company.
 
(b)           Participant understands and agrees that this Agreement is not an employment contract and nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to create in any way whatsoever any obligation on the Participant's part to continue to work for the Company (or any subsidiary of the Company), or of the Company (or any subsidiary of the Company) to continue to employ the Participant, if applicable.
 
9.            Plan Governs.  Notwithstanding anything in this Award Agreement to the contrary, the terms of this Award Agreement shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan.

The Certificate is made a part of this Agreement.
 
1.           Performance Award. The Company hereby grants to you, effective as of the Grant Date, a performance award (the “Performance Award”) representing the right to receive the Award, as set forth in the attached Certificate and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Certificate and the Plan. The Performance Award, to the extent it becomes payable, shall be paid in the form set forth in the Certificate. You will not be required to pay any purchase price for the Performance Award.
 
2.           Performance Period and Performance Goals. The performance period (the “Performance Period”) and performance goals for purposes of determining whether, and the extent to which, the Performance Award will be paid shall be set forth in the attached Certificate, which is made a part of this Agreement.

After the Performance Award becomes payable pursuant to Section 3, 4 or 5 hereof, and following payment of any applicable withholding taxes pursuant to Section 7 hereof, the Company shall promptly cause the Award to be issued to you or your legal representatives, beneficiaries or heirs, as the case may be.
 
4.           Forfeiture.

Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3 of this Agreement, in the event of a Change in Control during the Performance Period, you may be entitled to receive a payment of the Performance Award as set forth in Certificate attached to this Agreement.

In order to comply with all applicable federal or state income tax laws or regulations, the Company may take such action as it deems appropriate to ensure that all applicable federal or state payroll, withholding, income or other taxes, which are your sole and absolute responsibility, are withheld or collected from you.

NONQUALIFIED STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT
OF
VALLEY FORGE COMPOSITE TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
(A Florida Corporation)
 
This STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT is entered into as of ____________, 2008 (the “Grant Date”), by and between Valley Forge Composite Technologies, Inc., a Florida corporation (the “Company”), and ___________________ (the “Participant”).
 
The Company and Participant agree as follows:
 
1.           Grant of Option. Participant is hereby granted a Nonqualified Stock Option (“the Option”), to purchase Common Stock of the Company pursuant to the VALLEY FORGE COMPOSITE TECHNOLOGIES, INC. 2008 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). The Option is not intended to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option within the meaning of Section 422(d) of the Code. This Option and this Option Agreement are subject to and shall be construed in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Plan, as now or hereinafter in effect. Any terms which are used in this Option Agreement without being defined and which are defined in the Plan shall have the meaning specified in the Plan.
 
2.           Date of Grant. The date of the grant of the Option is the date set forth above, the date of the action by the Board of Directors or its Committee which administers the Plan (the “Board”) in granting the same.
 
3.            Number and Price of Shares. The Option entitles the Participant to purchase _________ shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Option Shares”), at a price of $______ per share (the “Option Price”). The exercise price shall not be less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the Grant Date.
 
4.           Exercise of Option.
 
(a)           Vesting.  25 percent (25%) of the Option Shares (rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares) shall vest on the first anniversary of the Grant Date; and the remaining Option Shares shall vest ratably (rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares), as of the last day of each calendar month, over the next 36-month period.
 
(b)           After an Option is granted, the Board may accelerate the exercisability of the Option. If the Board provides that any Option is exercisable only in installments, the Board may at any time waive such installment exercise provisions, in whole or in part, based on such factors as the Board may determine.
 
(c)           In all events, vesting under this Section shall cease upon termination of Participant’s service with the Company for any reason.  Termination of Service as defined in the Plan means (a) in the case of an Employee, a cessation of the employee-employer relationship between an employee and the Company for any reason, and (b) in the case of a Director or Consultant, a cessation of service as a member of the Board for any reason; but excluding in all cases any such cessation where there is a simultaneous reengagement of individual by the Company.
C-36-

 
(d)           Time of Exercise.  The Participant may exercise the right to purchase vested Option Shares at any time, in whole or in part, on or before the earlier of:
 
(i)           Twelve (12) months following the Participant’s Termination of Service due to death or Disability; or
 
(ii)           Ninety (90) days following the Participant’s Termination of Service for a reason other than death or Disability; or
 
(iii)           The tenth (10th) anniversary of the Grant Date.
 
In the event the Participant fails to exercise his right to acquire vested Option Shares within the foregoing timeframe, all rights of the Participant with respect to such Option Shares shall terminate.
 
(e)           Change of Control.  Notwithstanding any provision in this Option Agreement or the Plan to the contrary, a Change in Control shall not accelerate vesting with respect to the Participant’s outstanding Option Shares.
 
5.           Notice of Exercise.  The Participant, or the person or persons having the right to exercise the Option upon the death or Disability of the Participant, shall exercise the Option by delivering to the Company written notice specifying the number of Option Shares which the Participant elects to purchase, together with either (i) cash, (ii) cancellation of any indebtedness owed by the Company to the Participant, or (iii) any combination of the above, the sum of which equals the total price to be paid upon the exercise of the Option, and the common stock purchased shall thereupon be promptly delivered.  The Participant will not be deemed to be a holder of any shares, pursuant to the exercise of the Option, until the date of issuance to the Participant of a stock certificate, for such shares, and until the shares are paid in full.
 
6.           Limited Transferability of Option. This Option may not be transferred, gifted, bequeathed, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated, voluntarily or involuntarily, except that the Board may permit a transfer, upon the Participant’s death, to beneficiaries designated by the Participant as provided in Sections 13.14 and 6.8.3 of the Plan. The Board may also permit a limited transfer due to disability, or retirement as provided in Section 6.8.2 of the Plan.
 
7.           Forfeiture of Option and Option Proceeds. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Option Agreement, if the Participant incurs a Termination of Service for Cause (as defined below), then the following events of “Forfeiture” shall occur:
 
(a)           The Participant’s unexercised Options, irrespective of whether or not exercisable or vested, shall immediately terminate; and
 
(b)           The Company, in its sole discretion, shall have the right to acquire from the Participant all or any portion of the Option Shares previously issued to the Participant for cash in an amount equal to Option Price paid by the Participant with respect to such shares, without interest.  The Company may exercise its right under this subparagraph by giving written notice thereof to the Participant not more than one year after the event giving rise to such Forfeiture, with such notice including the number of Option Shares to be acquired by the Company, the closing date of such acquisition (which shall not be more than thirty (30) days after the date of such notice), and the purchase price of such Option Shares.
C-37-

 
Termination of Service for “Cause” shall occur if the Board of Directors reasonably and in good faith determines that the Participant (i) has committed a significant act of dishonesty, deceit or breach of duty in the performance of the Participant’s duties for the Company or a Subsidiary, including but not limited to, fraud, dishonesty, embezzlement, failure of the Participant to follow the directions of the Board of Directors or the officers and supervisors of the Company, or any willful or negligent misconduct; (ii) is convicted of, or files a guilty plea or plea of nolo contendere to any felony, misdemeanor involving moral turpitude, or crime or offense involving dishonesty with respect to the Company; or (iii) has failed to comply with the covenants contained in the Plan or any other restrictive covenants that may apply with respect to the Participant..
 
This Section 7 shall survive termination of this Option Agreement. The Participant acknowledges and agrees that the restrictions contained in this Section 7 are necessary for the protection of the business and goodwill of the Company and are considered by the Participant to be reasonable for such purpose.  The Participant agrees that any breach of this Section 7 will result in substantial and irrevocable damage to the Company and therefore, in the event of any such breach, in addition to the consequences set forth in the first paragraph of this Section 7 and such other remedies which may be available, the Company shall have the right to seek specific performance and injunctive relief.
 
8.           Notices.  Any notice required or permitted under this Option Agreement shall be deemed given when delivered personally, or when deposited in a United States Post Office, postage prepaid, addressed, as appropriate, to the Participant or the Company.
 
9.           Withholding of Taxes.  As a condition to the issuance of the Option Shares, the Participant shall (a) remit to the Company at the time of any exercise of the Option any taxes required to be withheld by the Company under federal, state or local laws as a result of the exercise of the Option; or (b) instruct the Company to withhold in accordance with applicable law from any compensation payable to the Participant the taxes required to be held by the Company under federal, state or local laws as a result of the exercise of the Option; or (c) make other arrangements acceptable to the Board of Directors in its discretion. The Company may in its sole and absolute discretion withhold a portion of the Option Shares that otherwise would be issued to the Participant upon exercise of the Option in order to satisfy tax withholding requirements, or it may in its sole and absolute discretion permit Participant to tender Option Shares previously acquired in order to satisfy such requirements.  The determination of the amount of any such withholding and the satisfaction of this condition shall be made by the Company in its sole discretion.
 
10.           Disposition of Option Shares.  As a condition of issuing the Option Shares hereunder, the Participant agrees that unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, a Participant may not sell, make any short sale of, grant any option for the purchase of, or otherwise dispose of any Option Shares issued pursuant to this Option Agreement other than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution and may be exercised, during the lifetime of the Participant, only by the Participant.
 
11.           Restrictions on Transfer.  In the event that the Participant incurs a Termination of Service for any reason, the Company shall have the right to acquire from the Participant all or a portion of such Option Shares for cash in an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of the Option Shares by giving written notice thereof to the Participant not more than 3 months after such termination (or if later, one year after the last date that any outstanding Option awarded under this Option Agreement may be exercised by the Participant following such termination), such notice to include the number of Option Shares to be acquired by the Company, the closing date of such acquisition (which shall not be more than thirty (30) days after the date of such notice), and the Fair Market Value of such Option Shares.
 
12.           Adjustment of Option Shares. In the event of any merger, reorganization, consolidation, recapitalization, separation, liquidation, stock split, stock dividend, or other change affecting the corporate structure of the Company’s Shares, the Board shall adjust the number and class of Shares which may be delivered under the Plan, the number, class and price of Shares subject to outstanding Awards, and the numerical limits of Sections 4.1, 6.1, and 7.1 of the Plan in such a manner as the Board shall determine to be advisable or appropriate to prevent the dilution or diminution of such Awards.
C-38-

 
13.           Legend on Stock Certificates.  All stock certificates representing shares of common stock issued to the Participant upon exercise of this Option shall have affixed thereto a legend substantially in the following form, in addition to any other legends required by the Company or applicable state law:
 
“THE SHARES OF STOCK REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED UNLESS AND UNTIL SUCH STOCK IS REGISTERED UNDER SUCH ACT OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY IS OBTAINED TO THE EFFECT THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.  THE SHARES OF STOCK REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE ALSO SUBJECT TO OTHER RESTRICTIONS ENFORCED PURSUANT TO THE TERMS OF THE COMPANY’S 2008 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN.”
 
14.           Employee Benefits. Participant agrees that the grant and vesting of the Option and the receipt of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Option will constitute special incentive compensation that will not be taken into account as “salary” or “compensation” or “bonus” in determining the amount of any payment under any pension, retirement, profit sharing or other remuneration plan of the Company.
 
15.           No Employment Contract.  Participant understands and agrees that this Agreement is not an employment contract and nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to create in any way whatsoever any obligation on the Participant's part to continue to work for the Company (or any subsidiary of the Company), or of the Company (or any subsidiary of the Company) to continue to employ the Participant, if applicable.
 
16.           Failure to Enforce Not a Waiver.  The failure of the Company to enforce at any time any provision of this Option Agreement shall in no way be construed to be a waiver of such provision or of any other provision hereof.
 
17.           Receipt and Incorporation of Plan.  By entering into this Option Agreement, Participant acknowledges (i) that he or she has received and read a copy of the Plan, (ii) that this Option Agreement is subject to and shall be construed in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Plan, as now or hereinafter in effect, and (iii) that the Plan is hereby incorporated by reference and made a part hereof, and the Option and this Option Agreement are subject to all terms and conditions of the Plan, as the same may be amended from time to time in the discretion of the Board.
 
18.           Governing Law. The terms of this Award Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida applicable to contracts made and to be performed entirely within Florida.
 
19.           Amendment. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, the Board may modify, extend or renew the Option, or accept the surrender of the Option to the extent not theretofore exercised and authorize the granting of new Options in substitution therefore, except that no such action shall diminish or impair the rights under the Option without the consent of the Participant.
 
20.           Interpretation. The interpretations and constructions of any provision of and determinations on any question arising under the Plan or this Option Agreement in good faith shall be made by the Board, and all such interpretations, constructions and determinations shall be final and conclusive as to all parties.

This Option Agreement constitutes the entire understanding and agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements or understandings, inducements or conditions, express or implied, written or oral, between the parties with respect hereto. If any provision of this Option Agreement, or the application thereof, shall for any reason and to any extent be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Option Agreement and the application of such provision to other circumstances shall be interpreted so as best to reasonably effect the intent of the parties hereto. All notices or other communications which are required to be given or may be given to either party pursuant to the terms of this Option Agreement shall be in writing and shall be delivered personally or by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to the address of the parties as set forth following the signature of such party.

            This NON-DISCRETIONARY GRANT PROGRAM FOR DIRECTORS is entered into as of ____________, 2008 (the “Grant Date”), by and between Valley Forge Composite Technologies, Inc., a Florida corporation (the “Company”), and ___________________ (the “Participant”).
 
     The Company and Participant agree as follows:
 
1.           Grant of Option. Pursuant to you Option Grant Notice, Participant is hereby granted a Non-Discretionary Stock Option (“the Option”) pursuant to the VALLEY FORGE COMPOSITE TECHNOLOGIES, INC. 2008 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN (the “Plan”) to purchase the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company indicated on your Grant Notice.  This Option and this Agreement are subject to and shall be construed in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Plan, as now or hereinafter in effect. Any terms which are used in this Agreement without being defined and which are defined in the Plan shall have the meaning specified in the Plan.
 
2.           Date of Grant. The date of the grant of the Option is the date set forth above, the date of the action by the Committee which administers the Plan (the “Committee”) in granting the same.
 
3.            Number and Price of Shares.  The number of shares of Common Stock subject to your option and your exercise price per share referenced in your Grant Notice may be adjusted from time to time for Capitalization Adjustments.
 
4.           Exercise of Option.
 
(a) Vesting. Subject to the limitations contained herein, your option will vest as provided in your Grant Notice, provided that vesting will cease upon the termination of your Continuous Service.
 
(b) Method of Payment.  Payment of the exercise price is due in full upon exercise of all or any part of your option. You may elect to make payment of the exercise price in cash or by check or in any other manner permitted by your Grant Notice, which may include one or more of the following:
 
(c)  It is the Company’s sole discretion at the time your option is exercised and provided that at the time of exercise the Common Stock is publicly traded and quoted regularly in The Wall Street Journal, pursuant to a program developed under Regulation T as promulgated by the Federal Reserve Board that, prior to the issuance of Common Stock, results in either the receipt of cash (or check) by the Company or the receipt of irrevocable instructions to pay the aggregate exercise price to the Company from the sales proceeds.
 
(d)  It is the Company’s sole discretion at the time your option is exercised and provided that at the time of exercise the Common Stock is publicly traded and quoted regularly in The Wall Street Journal, by delivery to the Company (either by actual delivery or attestation) of already-owned shares of Common Stock either that you have held for the period required to avoid a charge to the Company’s reported earnings (generally six (6) months) or that you did not acquire, directly or indirectly from the Company, that are owned free and clear of any liens, claims, encumbrances or security interests, and that are valued at Fair Market Value on the date of exercise. “Delivery” for these purposes, in the sole discretion of the Company at the time you exercise your option, shall include delivery to the Company of your attestation of ownership of such shares of Common Stock in a form approved by the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you may not exercise your option by tender to the Company of Common Stock to the extent such tender would violate the provisions of any law, regulation or agreement restricting the redemption of the Company’s stock.
C-42-

 
(e)  You may exercise the vested portion of your option (and the unvested portion of your option if your Grant Notice so permits) during its term by delivering a Notice of Exercise (in a form designated by the Company) together with the exercise price to the Secretary of the Company, or to such other person as the Company may designate, during regular business hours, together with such additional documents as the Company may then require. The exercise may be made only on whole shares of Common Stock.
 
(f)  By exercising your option you agree that, as a condition to any exercise of your option, the Company may require you to enter into an arrangement providing for the payment by you to the Company of any tax withholding obligation of the Company arising by reason of (i) the exercise of your option, (ii) the lapse of any substantial risk of forfeiture to which the shares of Common Stock are subject at the time of exercise, or (iii) the disposition of shares of Common Stock acquired upon such exercise.
 
(g)  Term.  You may not exercise your option before the commencement or after the expiration of its term. The term of your option commences on the Date of Grant and expires upon the earliest of the following:
 
 
(i)
twelve (12) months after the termination of your Continuous Service for any reason other than your Disability or death, provided that if during any part of such twelve (12) month period your option is not exercisable solely because of the condition set forth in Section 5, your option shall not expire until the earlier of the Expiration Date or until it shall have been exercisable for an aggregate period of twelve (12) months after the termination of your Continuous Service;
 
 
(ii)
twelve (12) months after the termination of your Continuous Service due to your Disability;
 
 
(iii)
eighteen (18) months after your death if you die either during your Continuous Service or within three (3) months after your Continuous Service terminates;
 
 
(iv)
the Expiration Date indicated in your Grant Notice; or
 
 
(v)
the day before the tenth (10th) anniversary of the Date of Grant.
 
5.           Change in Control.
 
          (a) In the event of (i) a Corporate Transaction, or (ii) any Exchange Act Person becoming the Owner, directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing more than fifty percent (50%) of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities, then your option shall (contingent upon the effectiveness of such transaction) become fully vested and exercisable immediately prior to the effectiveness of such transaction, and your option shall terminate if not exercised at or prior to such time.
 
          (b) Except as otherwise provided in a written agreement between you and the Company, if any payment or benefit you would receive pursuant to a Change in Control from the Company or otherwise (“Payment”) would (i) constitute a “parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, and (ii) but for this sentence, be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”), then such Payment shall be equal to the Reduced Amount. The “Reduced Amount” shall be either (x) the largest portion of the Payment that would result in no portion of the Payment being subject to the Excise Tax, or (y) the largest portion, up to and including the total, of the Payment, whichever amount, after taking into account all applicable federal, state and local employment taxes, income taxes, and the Excise Tax (all computed at the highest applicable marginal rate), results in your receipt, on an after-tax basis, of the greater amount of the Payment notwithstanding that all or some portion of the Payment may be subject to the Excise Tax. If a reduction in payments or benefits constituting “parachute payments” is necessary so that the Payment equals the Reduced Amount, reduction shall occur in the following order unless you elect in writing a different order (provided, however, that such election shall be subject to Company approval if made on or after the effective date of the event that triggers the Payment): reduction of cash payments; cancellation of accelerated vesting of Stock Awards; reduction of employee benefits. In the event that acceleration of vesting of Stock Award compensation is to be reduced, such acceleration of vesting shall be cancelled in the reverse order of the date of grant of your Stock Awards (i.e., earliest granted Stock Award cancelled last) unless you elect in writing a different order for cancellation.
C-43-

 
          (c) The accounting firm engaged by the Company for general tax purposes as of the day prior to the effective date of the Change in Control shall perform the foregoing calculations. If the accounting firm so engaged by the Company is serving as accountant or auditor for the individual, entity or group effecting the Change in Control, the Company shall appoint a nationally recognized accounting firm to make the determinations required hereunder. The Company shall bear all expenses with respect to the determinations by such accounting firm required to be made hereunder.
 
          (d) The accounting firm engaged to make the determinations hereunder shall provide its calculations, together with detailed supporting documentation, to you and the Company within fifteen (15) calendar days after the date on which your right to a Payment is triggered (if requested at that time by you or the Company) or such other time as requested by you or the Company. If the accounting firm determines that no Excise Tax is payable with respect to a Payment, either before or after the application of the Reduced Amount, it shall furnish you and the Company with an opinion reasonably acceptable to you that no Excise Tax will be imposed with respect to such Payment. Any good faith determinations of the accounting firm made hereunder shall be final, binding and conclusive upon you and the Company.
 
6.           Limited Transferability of Option. This Option may not be transferred, gifted, bequeathed, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated, voluntarily or involuntarily, except that the Board may permit a transfer, upon the Participant’s death, to beneficiaries designated by the Participant as provided in Sections 13.14 and 6.8.3 of the Plan. The Board may also permit a limited transfer due to disability, or retirement as provided in Section 6.8.2 of the Plan.
 
7.           Securities Law Compliance.   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, you may not exercise your option unless the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise are then registered under the Securities Act or, if such shares of Common Stock are not then so registered, the Company has determined that such exercise and issuance would be exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. The exercise of your option also must comply with other applicable laws and regulations governing your option, and you may not exercise your option if the Company determines that such exercise would not be in material compliance with such laws and regulations.
 
8.           Option Not a Service Contract.  Your option is not an employment or service contract, and nothing in your option shall be deemed to create in any way whatsoever any obligation on your part to continue in the employ of the Company or an Affiliate, or of the Company or an Affiliate to continue your employment. In addition, nothing in your option shall obligate the Company or an Affiliate, their respective stockholders, Boards of Directors, Officers or Employees to continue any relationship that you might have as a Director or Consultant for the Company or an Affiliate.
 
9.           Withholding of Taxes.  As a condition to the issuance of the Option Shares, the Participant shall (a) remit to the Company at the time of any exercise of the Option any taxes required to be withheld by the Company under federal, state or local laws as a result of the exercise of the Option; or (b) instruct the Company to withhold in accordance with applicable law from any compensation payable to the Participant the taxes required to be held by the Company under federal, state or local laws as a result of the exercise of the Option; or (c) make other arrangements acceptable to the Board in its discretion. The Company may in its sole and absolute discretion withhold a portion of the Option Shares that otherwise would be issued to the Participant upon exercise of the Option in order to satisfy tax withholding requirements, or it may in its sole and absolute discretion permit Participant to tender Option Shares previously acquired in order to satisfy such requirements.  The determination of the amount of any such withholding and the satisfaction of this condition shall be made by the Company in its sole discretion.
 
10.           Governing Law. This Option Agreement shall be construed and shall take effect in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to the conflicts of laws, rules of such State.
 
11.           Amendment. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, the Board may modify, extend or renew the Option, or accept the surrender of the Option to the extent not theretofore exercised and authorize the granting of new Options in substitution therefore, except that no such action shall diminish or impair the rights under the Option without the consent of the Participant.
C-44-

 
12.           Interpretation. The interpretations and constructions of any provision of and determinations on any question arising under the Plan or this Agreement in good faith shall be made by the Board, and all such interpretations, constructions and determinations shall be final and conclusive as to all parties.
 
13.           Miscellaneous. This Option Agreement constitutes the entire understanding and agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements or understandings, inducements or conditions, express or implied, written or oral, between the parties with respect hereto. If any provision of this Option Agreement, or the application thereof, shall for any reason and to any extent be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Option Agreement and the application of such provision to other circumstances shall be interpreted so as best to reasonably effect the intent of the parties hereto. All notices or other communications which are required to be given or may be given to either party pursuant to the terms of this Option Agreement shall be in writing and shall be delivered personally or by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to the address of the parties as set forth following the signature of such party.
