Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain  Officers

On June 21, 2011, the Board of Directors of Suspect Detection Systems Inc. (the “Company”) approved an amended and restated agreement, and on June 29, 2011, the Board of Directors approved certain changes to such agreement (the “Amended Consulting Agreement”) with Yoav Krill, the Company’s current Chairman of the Board which amends and restates Mr. Krill’s prior agreement with the Company dated January 13, 2010, except as otherwise indicated in the Amended Consulting Agreement with respect to certain fees, stock grants and options granted under the prior agreement.

Under the Amended Consulting Agreement, Mr. Krill will serve as the Company’s Chairman of the Board. In consideration of the services to be performed under the Amended Consulting Agreement, Mr. Krill shall receive an annual director’s fee of $25,000 for the first twelve-month period. Thereafter, the parties shall agree in writing prior to November 30th of each calendar year as to the amount to be paid as director’s fees, which amount shall not be less than $25,000 and shall be increased, proportionately, with any increase in the Company’s paid-in capital, sales revenues or net profits. In addition, under the Amended Consulting Agreement, Mr. Krill was granted 2,400,000 shares of common stock of the Company.

Mr. Krill was also granted a ten-year option to purchase 10,500,000 shares of common stock of the Company, exercisable at $0.10 per share, under the Company’s 2009 Global Stock Incentive Compensation Plan, 4,666,660 shares of which vest simultaneously with the execution and delivery of the Amended Consulting Agreement, and the balance shall vest in equal monthly installments of 291,667 shares for 20 months commencing July 1, 2011. Except as described below, all unvested options shall become null and void upon the termination of the Amended Consulting Agreement.

The Amended Consulting Agreement shall continue in effect until either party provides the other with no less than 90 days prior written notice. The Company shall also have the right to terminate the Amended Consulting Agreement in the event of a material breach by Mr. Krill in the performance of his duties under the Amended Consulting Agreement which is not cured or curable in accordance with the terms of the Amended Consulting Agreement. Failure of the Company to maintain directors’ and officers’ liability insurance covering Mr. Krill shall be deemed a material breach of the Amended Consulting Agreement and shall automatically terminate the Amended Consulting Agreement but shall not affect Mr. Krill’s right to the shares or options discussed above.

On June 21, 2011, the Board of Directors of the Company approved an amended and restated employment agreement, and on June 29, 2011, the Board of Directors approved certain changes to such agreement (the “Amended Employment Agreement”) with Gil Boosidan, the Company’s current Chief Executive Officer .

Under the Amended Employment Agreement, Mr. Boosidan will serve as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. In consideration of the services to be performed under the Amended Employment Agreement, Mr. Boosidan shall receive (i) an aggregate of $30,000 in cash in four equal quarterly installments commencing September 30, 2011, and (ii) 1,200,000 shares of common stock of the Company.

Mr. Boosidan was also granted a ten-year option to purchase 6,000,000 options of common stock of the Company, exercisable at $0.10 per share, under the Company’s 2009 Global Stock Incentive Compensation Plan, 2,666,680 shares of which vest simultaneously with the execution and delivery of the Amended Employment Agreement, and the balance shall vest in equal monthly installments of 166,667 shares for 20 months commencing July 1, 2011. Except as described below, all unvested options shall become null and void upon the termination of the Amended Employment Agreement.

The Amended Employment Agreement shall continue in effect until either party provides the other with no less than 90 days prior written notice. The Company shall also have the right to terminate the Amended Employment Agreement in the event of a material breach by Mr. Boosidan in the performance of his duties under the Amended Employment Agreement which is not cured or curable in accordance with the terms of the Amended Employment Agreement. Failure of the Company to maintain directors’ and officers’ liability insurance covering Mr. Boosidan shall be deemed a material breach of the Amended Employment Agreement and shall automatically terminate the Amended Employment Agreement but shall not affect Mr. Boosidan’s right to the options discussed above.  In the event of Mr. Boosidan’s death or substantial disability, payments to Mr. Boosidan under the Amended Employment Agreement shall cease.

The Amended Employment Agreement also contains non-competition and non-solicitation provisions for so long as Mr. Boosidan is employed by or affiliated with the Company.

The foregoing descriptions of the Amended Consulting Agreement and the Amended Employment Agreement do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Amended Consulting Agreement and the Amended Employment Agreement which are annexed hereto as Exhibits 10.14 and 10.16, respectively.

Furthermore, such Optionee shall agree to indemnify the Company and/or the Trustee, and/or the Company’s shareholders and/or directors and/or officers if applicable, and hold them harmless against and from any and all liability for any such tax or interest or penalty thereon, including without limitation, liabilities relating to the necessity to withhold, or to have withheld, any such tax from any payment made to the Optionee, provided that they acted in due care.  Except as otherwise required by law, the Company shall not be obligated to honor the exercise of any Option by or on behalf of an Optionee until all tax consequences (if any) arising from the exercise of such Options are resolved in a manner reasonably acceptable to the Company.

Set forth below is a brief summary as of the date of the grant of this Option of some of the tax consequences of the grant and exercise of this Option and the disposition of the Shares.

THIS SUMMARY IS NECESSARILY INCOMPLETE, AND THE TAX LAWS AND REGULATIONS ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE.  THEREFORE, OPTIONEE SHOULD CONSULT A TAX ADVISOR BEFORE EXERCISING THIS OPTION OR DISPOSING OF THE SHARES.

 
(a)
Exercise of ISO.  In the case of an ISO, the exercise of the Option will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax, although the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date of exercise over the Purchase Price will be treated as an adjustment to the alternative minimum tax for federal income tax purposes and may subject the Optionee to the alternative minimum tax in the year of exercise.

 
(b)
Exercise of NSO.  The exercise of an NSO may be subject to U.S. federal income tax liability (at ordinary tax rates) upon the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date of exercise over the Purchase Price.  If Optionee is an Employee or a former Employee, the Company will be required to withhold from Optionee's compensation or collect from Optionee and pay to the applicable taxing authorities an amount in cash equal to a percentage of this compensation income at the time of exercise, and may refuse to honor the exercise and refuse to deliver Shares if such withholding amounts are not delivered at the time of exercise.

 
(c)
Disposition of Shares.  In the case of an NSO, if Shares are held for at least one year, any gain realized on disposition of the Shares will be treated as long-term capital gain for U.S. federal income tax purposes.  In the case of an ISO, if Shares transferred pursuant to the Option are held for at least one year after exercise and for at least two years after the date of grant, any gain realized on disposition of the Shares will also be treated as long-term capital gain for federal income tax purposes.  If Shares purchased under an ISO are disposed of within one year after exercise or two years after the date of grant, any gain realized on such disposition will be treated as compensation income (taxable at ordinary income rates) to the extent of the difference between the Purchase Price and the lesser of (1) the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date of exercise, or (2) the sale price of the Shares.  Any additional gain will be taxed as capital gain.

7.    Tax Consequences (Cont.)

 
(d)
Notice of Disqualifying Disposition of ISO Shares. In the case of an ISO, if Optionee sells or otherwise disposes of any of the Shares acquired pursuant to the ISO on or before the later of (1) the date two years after the date of grant, or (2) the date one year after the date of exercise, Optionee shall immediately notify the Company in writing of such disposition.  Optionee agrees that Optionee may be subject to income tax withholding by the Company on the compensation income recognized by Optionee.

 
8.
Governing Law; Severability

This agreement shall be governed by, and interpreted in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, U.S.A., notwithstanding the conflicts of laws principles of any jurisdiction.

 
9.
Entire Agreement

The Plan is incorporated herein by reference.  The Plan and this Option Agreement constitute the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede in their entirety all prior undertakings and agreements of the Company and Optionee with respect to the subject matter hereof, and may not be modified adversely to the Optionee's interest except by means of a writing signed by the Company and Optionee.

 
10.
No Guarantee of Continued Service

Optionee acknowledges and agrees that the vesting of shares pursuant to the Vesting Schedule hereof is earned only by continuing as a Service Provider at the will of the Company. Optionee further acknowledges and agrees that this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereunder and the Vesting Schedule set forth herein do not constitute an express or implied promise of continued engagement as a Service Provider and shall not interfere in any way with Optionee's right or the Company’s right to terminate Optionee’s relationship as a Service Provider at any time, with or without cause.

 
11.
Confidentiality

The Optionee agrees and acknowledges that the terms and conditions of this Option Agreement, including without limitation the number of Shares for which Options have been granted, are confidential.  The Optionee agrees that he will not disclose these terms and conditions to any third party, except to the Optionee’s financial or legal advisors, tax advisors or family members, unless such disclosure is required by law.

II.           AGREEMENT (CONT.)

By affixing his signature hereunder, Optionee acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan and represents that Optionee is familiar with the terms and provisions thereof, and hereby accepts this Option subject to all of the terms and provisions thereof.  Optionee has reviewed the Plan and this Option in their entirety, has had an opportunity to obtain the advice of counsel prior to executing this Option and fully understands all provisions of the Option.  Optionee hereby agrees to accept as binding, conclusive and final all decisions or interpretations of the Administrator upon any questions arising under the Plan or this Option.  Optionee further agrees to notify the Company upon any change in the residence address indicated below.

3

 

14.1.           Attempt in any manner to persuade any customer of SDSS to cease to do business or to reduce the amount of business which any such customer has customarily done or contemplates doing with SDSS, whether or not the relationship between SDSS and such customer was originally established in whole or in part through the Employee’s efforts.

14.2.           Employ or attempt to employ or assist anyone else in employing any person who is in the employ of SDSS.

15.           Corporate Opportunities.  The Employee shall not enter into transactions for his own account that may be considered to be competitive with or a business opportunity that may be beneficial to SDSS.  The Employee shall account to SDSS and hold as trustee for it any property, profit or benefit received or derived by him from his use or appropriation of the property or the opportunities of SDSS, including, but not limited to, information developed exclusively for and opportunities expressly offered to SDSS.

16.           Trade Secrets.  At no time, either during the term of his employment or at any time thereafter, shall the Employee disclose to any person, firm or corporation or use, directly or indirectly, for his own benefit or the benefit of any other person, firm or corporation, any confidential information or trade secret of SDSS or any customer of SDSS or utilize such confidential information or trade secret for his own benefit or for the benefit of third parties, except pursuant to a lawful order of a court of competent jurisdiction.  The terms “confidential information or trade secret of SDSS” shall include, without limitation, the customer lists, financial reports and projections, business plans, product introductions and test results, processes, sales volume and overall project profits, corporate or trade names, and such other information pertaining to SDSS and its customers as would reasonably be considered confidential or proprietary.  The terms “confidential information or trade secret of SDSS” do not include any information which becomes generally available to the public other than by breach of this Amended and restated Employment Agreement.

17.           Injunctive Relief.  If the Employee commits a breach or threatens to commit a breach of any of the provisions of Paragraphs 15 or 16, above, SDSS shall have the right to have those provisions of this Amended and Restated Employment Agreement specifically enforced by any court having equity jurisdiction without being required to post a bond or other security and without having to prove the inadequacy of the available remedies at law, it being expressly acknowledged and agreed that any such breach or threatened breach will cause irreparable injury to SDSS and that money damages will not provide an adequate remedy to SDSS.  In addition, SDSS may take any such other actions and seek other remedies available to it under law or in equity and shall be entitled to any and all damages it can show it has sustained by reason of such breach.

18.           No Breaches.  The Employee represents that his execution of this Amended and Restated Employment Agreement and the performance of his duties required hereunder will not be a breach of any other agreement to which he is a party.

19.           Events of Default and Remedies.  The repeated failure, refusal or neglect of the Employee, other than by reason of disability, to report or to render his services when and as required hereunder, or to perform any covenant or condition of this Amended and Restated Employment Agreement on his part to be kept or performed, shall be an event of default hereunder and SDSS may terminate this Amended and Restated Employment Agreement if any such event or default shall occur and continue during the term hereof, as provided in Paragraph 20, below.

20.           Termination.  In addition to such rights of termination as are otherwise set forth in this Amended and Restated Employment Agreement, SDSS shall have the additional right to terminate this Amended and Restated Employment Agreement for cause in the event of the Employee’s material breach in the performance of his duties hereunder.  SDSS shall thereupon be relieved of all obligations to the Employee under this Amended and Restated Employment Agreement accruing from and after the date of the occurrence of such breach.

20.1.           If the Employee engages in activities or conduct which SDSS contends is a material breach of the Employee’s obligations under this Amended and Restated Employment Agreement, SDSS shall deliver a notice in writing to the Employee to terminate such activities or conduct.  If the Employee fails to take affirmative steps to cure or terminate the complained of activities or conduct on or before the expiration of ten (10) days following receipt of said notice, then the Employee shall be deemed in material breach hereunder.  In that event, SDSS shall have the right to immediately thereafter terminate this Amended and Restated Employment Agreement.  The provisions for notice of default and time to cure prior to termination shall not apply in the case of fraudulent conduct or dishonesty, or any other cause incapable of being cured, in which event SDSS may terminate this Amended and Restated Employment Agreement immediately and without prior notice.  The right of termination contained in this Paragraph 20.1 shall not preclude SDSS from exercising any other right it may have either pursuant to the other terms of this Amended and Restated Employment Agreement or by law.

21.           Notices.  All non-routine notices which either party is required or may desire to give or make to the other party hereunder shall be in writing.  Notice to SDSS shall be considered given when personally delivered and receipted or three (3) days after being mailed by first class mail postage prepaid addressed to the Chairman of the Board of Directors in care of SDSS at the address of the Principal Office.  Notice to the Employee shall be considered given when personally delivered and receipted or three (3) days after being mailed by first class mail postage prepaid addressed to the Employee at the address first above written, unless the Employee has given SDSS a notice of a different address.

22.           Miscellaneous.  This Amended and Restated Employment Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties pertaining to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings of the parties in connection herewith.  Neither SDSS nor the Employee shall be bound in any manner by any promises, statements, representations or information made, given or furnished by any person representing or purporting to represent SDSS or the Employee except to the extent that such promises, statements, representations or information are expressly set forth in this Amended and Restated Employment Agreement.  This Amended and Restated Employment Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to agreements made and to be performed entirely within New York.  The headings of the various paragraphs of this Amended and Restated Employment Agreement are inserted for convenience of reference only and are under no circumstances to be a part of, or construed as a part of, this Amended and Restated Employment Agreement.  This Amended and Restated Employment Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the respective heirs, successors, and assigns of the parties.

23.           Execution in Counterparts.  This Amended and Restated Employment Agreement may be executed in counterparts and by facsimile, each of which shall be deemed to be an original and all of which, when taken together, shall constitute but one and the same instrument.

(d)
The Optionee is aware that: (i) the Company intends to issue additional shares and options in the future to various entities and individuals, as the Company in its sole discretion shall determine; and (ii) the Company may increase its share capital by new securities in such amount as it finds expedient; and the Optionee hereby waives any claim and/or demand it has or may have regarding such issuance or increase.

(a)
Right to Exercise.  This Option shall be exercisable at any time from the Date of Grant and prior to the Expiration Date of the Term in accordance with the Vesting Schedule set forth in the Notice of Grant and subject to the applicable provisions of the Plan and this Option Agreement.

 
(b)
Method of Exercise.  This Option shall be exercisable by delivery of an exercise notice in the form attached as Exhibit B hereto (the “Exercise Notice”), and such other representations and agreements, as may be required by the Company.  The Exercise Notice shall be accompanied by (1) payment of the aggregate Purchase Price for the number of Shares to be purchased and (2) payment of the aggregate withholding taxes due with respect to the exercised Shares, if applicable.  This Option shall be deemed to be exercised upon receipt by the Company of such fully executed Exercise Notice accompanied by the aggregate Purchase Price and withholding taxes due with respect to the exercised Shares, if applicable.

No Shares shall be issued pursuant to the exercise of an Option unless such issuance and such exercise comply with Applicable Laws.  If any law or regulation requires the Company to take any action with respect to the Shares specified in such notice before the issuance thereof, then the date of their issuance shall be extended for the period necessary to take such action. Assuming such compliance, for income tax purposes the Shares shall be considered transferred to the Optionee on the date on which the Option is exercised with respect to such Shares.

(d)
Voting Rights.  Pursuant to the terms set forth in the Plan, and, when applicable, subject to the provisions of Section 422 of the Code, any Shares issued at grant of Options or exercise of Options (and securities of the Company issued with respect thereto) shall be voted by an irrevocable proxy, attached as Exhibit C hereto (the “Proxy”) in the same manner as the votes of the majority of other shareholders of the Company present and voting at the applicable meeting, such Proxy to be assigned to the person or persons designated by the Board and to provide for the power of such designated person(s) to act, instead of the Optionee and on its behalf, with respect to any and all aspects of the Optionee’s shareholdings in the Company.

4.              Restrictions on Exercise

This Option may not be exercised until such time the Plan has been approved by the shareholders of the Company or if the issuance of Shares upon such exercise or the method of payment of consideration for such Shares would constitute a violation of Applicable Laws.

5.              Non-Transferability of Options and Shares
 
 
 
(a)
Option may not be transferred in any manner otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution and may be exercised during the lifetime of Optionee only by Optionee.  The terms of the Plan and this Option Agreement shall be binding upon the executors, administrators, heirs, successors and assigns of Optionee.

7.              Tax Consequences

Any tax consequences arising from the grant or exercise of any Option or from the disposition of the Shares or from any other event or act (whether of the Optionee or of the Company or of its Trustee) hereunder, shall be borne solely by the Optionee.  The Company and/or the Trustee shall withhold taxes according to the requirements under the applicable laws, rules, and regulations, including withholding taxes at source.

Furthermore, such Optionee shall agree to indemnify the Company and/or the Trustee, and/or the Company’s shareholders and/or directors and/or officers if applicable, and hold them harmless against and from any and all liability for any such tax or interest or penalty thereon, including without limitation, liabilities relating to the necessity to withhold, or to have withheld, any such tax from any payment made to the Optionee, provided that they acted in due care.  Except as otherwise required by law, the Company shall not be obligated to honor the exercise of any Option by or on behalf of an Optionee until all tax consequences (if any) arising from the exercise of such Options are resolved in a manner reasonably acceptable to the Company.

Set forth below is a brief summary as of the date of the grant of this Option of some of the tax consequences of the grant and exercise of this Option and the disposition of the Shares.

THIS SUMMARY IS NECESSARILY INCOMPLETE, AND THE TAX LAWS AND REGULATIONS ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE.  THEREFORE, OPTIONEE SHOULD CONSULT A TAX ADVISOR BEFORE EXERCISING THIS OPTION OR DISPOSING OF THE SHARES.

 
(a)
Exercise of ISO.  In the case of an ISO, the exercise of the Option will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax, although the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date of exercise over the Purchase Price will be treated as an adjustment to the alternative minimum tax for federal income tax purposes and may subject the Optionee to the alternative minimum tax in the year of exercise.

 
(b)
Exercise of NSO.  The exercise of an NSO may be subject to U.S. federal income tax liability (at ordinary tax rates) upon the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date of exercise over the Purchase Price.  If Optionee is an Employee or a former Employee, the Company will be required to withhold from Optionee's compensation or collect from Optionee and pay to the applicable taxing authorities an amount in cash equal to a percentage of this compensation income at the time of exercise, and may refuse to honor the exercise and refuse to deliver Shares if such withholding amounts are not delivered at the time of exercise.

 
(c)
Disposition of Shares.  In the case of an NSO, if Shares are held for at least one year, any gain realized on disposition of the Shares will be treated as long-term capital gain for U.S. federal income tax purposes.  In the case of an ISO, if Shares transferred pursuant to the Option are held for at least one year after exercise and for at least two years after the date of grant, any gain realized on disposition of the Shares will also be treated as long-term capital gain for federal income tax purposes.  If Shares purchased under an ISO are disposed of within one year after exercise or two years after the date of grant, any gain realized on such disposition will be treated as compensation income (taxable at ordinary income rates) to the extent of the difference between the Purchase Price and the lesser of (1) the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date of exercise, or (2) the sale price of the Shares.  Any additional gain will be taxed as capital gain.

(d)
Notice of Disqualifying Disposition of ISO Shares. In the case of an ISO, if Optionee sells or otherwise disposes of any of the Shares acquired pursuant to the ISO on or before the later of (1) the date two years after the date of grant, or (2) the date one year after the date of exercise, Optionee shall immediately notify the Company in writing of such disposition.  Optionee agrees that Optionee may be subject to income tax withholding by the Company on the compensation income recognized by Optionee.

 
8.
Governing Law; Severability

This agreement shall be governed by, and interpreted in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, U.S.A., notwithstanding the conflicts of laws principles of any jurisdiction.

 
9.
Entire Agreement

The Plan is incorporated herein by reference.  The Plan and this Option Agreement constitute the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede in their entirety all prior undertakings and agreements of the Company and Optionee with respect to the subject matter hereof, and may not be modified adversely to the Optionee's interest except by means of a writing signed by the Company and Optionee.

 
10.
No Guarantee of Continued Service

Optionee acknowledges and agrees that the vesting of shares pursuant to the Vesting Schedule hereof is earned only by continuing as a Service Provider at the will of the Company. Optionee further acknowledges and agrees that this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereunder and the Vesting Schedule set forth herein do not constitute an express or implied promise of continued engagement as a Service Provider and shall not interfere in any way with Optionee's right or the Company’s right to terminate Optionee’s relationship as a Service Provider at any time, with or without cause.

 
11.
Confidentiality

The Optionee agrees and acknowledges that the terms and conditions of this Option Agreement, including without limitation the number of Shares for which Options have been granted, are confidential.  The Optionee agrees that he will not disclose these terms and conditions to any third party, except to the Optionee’s financial or legal advisors, tax advisors or family members, unless such disclosure is required by law.
