APPROVAL OF THE COMPREHENSIVE CARE CORPORATION 2009 EQUITY COMPENSATION PLAN.

On November 11, 2009, our Board of Directors adopted, subject to stockholder approval, the Comprehensive Care Corporation 2009 Equity Compensation Plan (the “2009 Plan” or the “Plan”) for use in connection with the issuance of stock options, stock units, stock awards, stock appreciation rights and other stock based awards to executive officers, other key employees, non-employee members of our Board of Directors and consultants who render significant services to us and our subsidiaries. Our Board of Directors submitted the 2009 Plan to a majority of our stockholders for their approval pursuant to the Written Consent. Stockholder approval was sought so that compensation attributable to grants of stock options and stock appreciation rights under the Plan may qualify for an exemption from the deduction limit under section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended and the regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Code”) (see discussion of “Federal Income Tax Consequences” below) and in order for incentive stock options to meet the requirements of the Code.

The adoption of the 2009 Plan was prompted by our desire for sufficient flexibility regarding the forms of incentive compensation to reward our executive officers, key employees, non-employee members of our Board of Directors and consultants who render significant services to us. In adopting the 2009 Plan, we determined that our existing equity compensation plans lacked a sufficient amount of shares authorized to be made subject to awards and did not afford sufficient flexibility in creating incentive compensation arrangements for those individuals most likely to contribute significantly to our growth. Our Board of Directors intends to offer key personnel equity ownership in us through the grant of stock options and other rights pursuant to the 2009 Plan to enable us to attract and retain qualified personnel without unnecessarily depleting our cash reserves. Management believes that in order to implement the anticipated expansion of our operations over the next several years, we will be faced with an increasing demand for additional qualified personnel. In order to attract and retain such personnel, we will require a wide array of compensation alternatives. The 2009 Plan is designed to augment our existing compensation programs and is intended to enable us to offer executives, key employees, directors and consultants a personal interest in our growth and success through awards of either shares of Common Stock or rights to acquire shares of Common Stock.

The material terms of the 2009 Plan are summarized below. A copy of the 2009 Plan is attached to this Information Statement as Annex A. This summary of the 2009 Plan is not intended to be a complete description of the 2009 Plan and is qualified in its entirety by the actual text of the 2009 Plan.

General. The 2009 Plan provides that grants may be made in any of the following forms:

• incentive stock options (“ISOs”) (but only after stockholder approval);

• nonqualified stock options;

• stock units;

• stock awards;

• stock appreciation rights (“SARs”);

• dividend equivalents; and

3

• other stock-based awards.

The 2009 Plan authorizes 10,000,000 shares of our Common Stock for issuance, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances as described below. The 2009 Plan provides that the maximum aggregate number of shares of our Common Stock with respect to which grants may be made to any individual during any calendar year is 1,000,000 shares, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances as described below. If dividend equivalents are granted, a grantee may not accrue more than $1,000,000 of such dividend equivalents during any calendar year.

If, and to the extent options and SARs granted under the 2009 Plan terminate, expire or are cancelled, forfeited, exchanged or surrendered without being exercised or if any stock awards, stock units, or other stock-based awards, are forfeited, terminated, or otherwise not paid in full, the shares subject to such grants will become available again for purposes of the 2009 Plan. Shares surrendered in payment of the exercise price of an option will not become available again for issuance or transfer under the 2009 Plan. To the extent any grants are paid in cash, and not in shares of common stock, any shares previously subject to such grants will not count against the share limits under the 2009 Plan.

Administration. The 2009 Plan will be administered and interpreted by the Compensation and Stock Option Committee (the “Committee”). However, any grants to members of the Committee must be authorized by a disinterested majority of our Board of Directors. References to the Committee include our Board of Directors where appropriate. Ministerial functions may be performed by an administrative committee of our employees appointed by the Committee.

The Committee has the authority to (i) determine the individuals to whom grants will be made under the 2009 Plan, (ii) determine the type, size, terms and conditions of the grants, (iii) determine when grants will be made and the duration of any applicable exercise or restriction period, including the criteria for exercisability and the acceleration of exercisability, (iv) amend the terms and conditions of any previously issued grant, subject to the limitations described below and (v) deal with any other matters arising under the 2009 Plan. The Committee presently consists of Arthur K. Yeap (Chairman), Sharon Kay Ray, and Arnold B. Finestone, each of whom is a non-employee director.

Eligibility for Participation. All of our employees, non-employee directors, consultants and advisors who perform services for us and our subsidiaries are eligible to receive grants under the 2009 Plan. As of September 30, 2010, approximately 133 employees, four non-employee directors and ten consultants and advisors are eligible to receive grants under the 2009 Plan. The Committee is authorized to select the persons to receive grants from among those eligible and the Committee will determine the number of shares of our Common Stock that are subject to each grant.

Types of Awards allowable under the 2009 Plan.

Stock Options

Anyone eligible to participate in the 2009 Plan may receive a grant of non-qualified stock options (“NQSOs”). Only our employees and employees of our subsidiaries may receive a grant of ISOs. Any references to the grant of ISOs herein are references to grants or options following stockholder approval of the 2009 Plan.

The Committee will fix the exercise price per share of options on the date of grant. The exercise price of options granted under the 2009 Plan will not be less than the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant. However, if the grantee of an ISO is a person who holds

4

more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of our outstanding stock, the exercise price per share of an ISO granted to such person must be at least 110% of the fair market value of our Common Stock on the date of grant.

The Committee will determine the term of each option which shall not exceed 10 years from the date of grant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the grantee of an ISO is a person who holds more than 10% of the combined voting power of all classes of our outstanding stock, the term of the ISO may not exceed five years from the date of grant. To the extent that the aggregate fair market value of shares of our Common Stock, determined on the date of grant, with respect to which ISOs become exercisable for the first time by a grantee during any calendar year exceeds $100,000, such ISOs will be treated as NQSOs.

The Committee will determine the terms and conditions of options, including when they become exercisable. The Committee may accelerate the exercisability of any options. Except as provided in the grant instrument or as otherwise determined by the Committee, an option may only be exercised while a grantee is employed by, or providing service to, us or our subsidiaries or during an applicable period after termination of employment or service.

A grantee may exercise an option by delivering notice of exercise to the Company. The grantee will pay the exercise price and any withholding taxes for the option: (i) in cash, (ii) in certain circumstances as permitted by the Committee, by the surrender of shares of our Common Stock with an aggregate fair market value on the date the option is exercised equal to the exercise price, (iii) by payment through a broker in accordance with the procedures permitted by Regulation T of the Federal Reserve Board or (iv) by another method approved by our Committee. The 2009 Plan also include a net exercise feature to allow us to issue to a grantee on exercise of a NQSO, a net number of shares, by reducing the shares that would otherwise be issued on exercise by a number of shares with a fair market value equal to the difference between the exercise price and the current value. This will result in less shares being issued and sold into the market and will allow a grantee to exercise options without making a cash payment for the exercise of the options.

Stock Awards

The Committee may grant stock awards to anyone eligible to participate in the 2009 Plan. The Committee may require that grantees pay consideration for the stock awards and may impose restrictions on the stock awards. If restrictions are imposed on stock awards, the Committee will determine whether they will lapse over a period of time or according to such other criteria, including the achievement of specific performance goals, as the Committee determines.

The Committee will determine the number of shares of our Common Stock subject to the grant of stock awards and the other terms and conditions of the grant including whether the grantee will have the right to vote shares of our Common Stock and to receive dividends paid on such shares during the restriction period. Unless the Committee determines otherwise, all unvested stock awards are forfeited if the grantee’s employment or service is terminated for any reason.

Stock Units

The Committee may grant stock units to anyone eligible to participate in the 2009 Plan. Each stock unit provides the grantee with the right to receive a share of our Common Stock or an amount based on the value of a share of our Common Stock at a future date. The Committee will determine the number of stock units that will be granted, whether stock units will become payable based on achievement of performance goals or other conditions, and the other terms and conditions applicable to stock units.

5

Stock units may be paid at the end of a specified period or deferred to a date authorized by the Committee. If a stock unit becomes distributable, it will be paid to the grantee in cash, in shares of our Common Stock, or in a combination of cash and shares of our Common Stock, as determined by the Committee. All unvested stock units are forfeited if the grantee’s employment or service is terminated for any reason, unless the Committee determines otherwise.

The Committee may grant dividend equivalents in connection with grants of stock units made under the 2009 Plan. Dividend equivalents entitle the grantee to receive amounts equal to ordinary dividends that are paid on the shares underlying a grant while the grant is outstanding. The Committee will determine whether dividend equivalents will be paid currently or credited to a bookkeeping account as a dollar amount or in the form of stock units. Dividend equivalents may be paid in cash, in shares of our Common Stock or in a combination of the two. The terms and conditions of dividend equivalents will be determined by the Committee.

SARs

The Committee may grant SARs to anyone eligible to participate in the 2009 Plan. SARs may be granted in connection with, or independently of, any option granted under the 2009 Plan. Upon exercise of an SAR, the grantee will receive an amount equal to the excess of the fair market value of our Common Stock on the date of exercise over the base amount for the SAR. Such payment to the grantee will be in cash, in shares of Common Stock, or in a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock, as determined by the Committee.

The base amount of each SAR will be determined by the Committee and will be equal to the per share exercise price of the related option or, if there is no related option, an amount that is equal to or greater than the fair market value of our Common Stock on the date the SAR is granted. The Committee will determine the terms and conditions of SARs, including when they become exercisable. The Committee may accelerate the exercisability of any SARs.

Other Stock-Based Awards

The Committee may grant other stock-based awards, which are grants other than options, SARs, stock units, and stock awards. The Committee may grant other stock-based awards to anyone eligible to participate in the 2009 Plan. These grants will be based on or measured by shares of our Common Stock, and will be payable in cash, in shares of our Common Stock, or in a combination of cash and shares of our Common Stock. The terms and conditions for other stock-based awards will be determined by the Committee.

Deferrals. The Committee may permit or require grantees to defer receipt of the payment of cash or the delivery of shares of our Common Stock that would otherwise be due to the grantee in connection with any stock units or other stock-based awards under the 2009 Plan. The Committee will establish the rules and procedures applicable to any such deferrals and may provide for interest or other earnings to be paid on such deferrals.

Adjustment Provisions. In connection with stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations and certain other events affecting our common stock, the Committee will make adjustments as it deems appropriate in the maximum number of shares of our common stock reserved for issuance as grants, the maximum number of shares of our common stock that any individual participating in the 2009 Plan may be granted in any year, the number and kind of shares covered by outstanding grants,

6

the kind of shares that may be issued or transferred under the 2009 Plan, and the price per share or market value of any outstanding grants. Any fractional shares resulting from such adjustment will be eliminated. In addition, in the event of a change of control of the Company, the provisions applicable to a change in control will apply. Any adjustments to outstanding grants shall be consistent with Section 409A or Section 422 of the Code, to the extent applicable.

Change of Control. Unless the Committee determines otherwise, effective upon the date of the change of control:

• all outstanding options and SARs will automatically accelerate and become fully exercisable;

• the restrictions and conditions on all outstanding stock awards will immediately lapse; and

• all stock units, dividend equivalents and other stock-based awards will become fully vested and will be paid at their target value, or in such greater amounts as the Committee may determine.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a change of control, the Committee may take any of the following actions with respect to any or all outstanding grants under the 2009 Plan:

• require that grantees surrender their options and SARs in exchange for payment by us, in cash or shares of our common stock as determined by the Committee, in an amount equal to the amount by which the then fair market value of the shares subject to the grantee’s unexercised options and SARs exceeds the exercise price of the options or the base amount of the SARs, as applicable;

• after giving grantees the opportunity to exercise their options and SARs, terminate any or all unexercised options and SARs at such time as the Committee deems appropriate; or

• determine that outstanding options and SARs that are not exercised will be assumed by, or replaced with comparable options or rights by, the surviving corporation (or a parent or subsidiary of the surviving corporation), and other outstanding grants that remain in effect after the change of control will be converted to similar grants of the surviving corporation (or a parent or subsidiary of the surviving corporation).

In general terms, a change of control under the 2009 Plan occurs:

• if a person, entity or affiliated group (with certain exceptions) acquires more than 50% of our then outstanding voting securities;

• if we merge into another entity unless the holders of our voting shares immediately prior to the merger have at least 50% of the combined voting power of the securities in the merged entity or its parent;

• if we sell or dispose of all or substantially all of our assets;

• if we are liquidated or dissolved; or

• if after the effective date of the 2009 Plan, directors are elected such that a majority of our Board of Directors have been members of our Board of Directors for less than one

7

year, unless the election or nomination of each new director at the beginning of such one year period was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the directors then still in office who were directors at the beginning of such one year period

Transferability of Grants. Only the grantee may exercise rights under a grant during the grantee’s lifetime. A grantee may not transfer those rights except by will or the laws of descent and distribution; provided, however, that a grantee may transfer a grant other than an ISO pursuant to a domestic relations order. The Committee may also provide, in a grant agreement, that a grantee may transfer NQSOs to his or her family members, or one or more trusts or other entities for the benefit of or owned by such family members, consistent with applicable securities laws, according to such terms as the Committee may determine.

Participants Outside of the United States. If any individual who receives a grant under the 2009 Plan is subject to taxation in a country other than the United States of America, the Committee may make the grant on such terms and conditions as the Committee deems appropriate to comply with the laws of the applicable country.

No Repricing of Options. Neither our Board nor the Committee can amend the 2009 Plan or options previously granted under the 2009 Plan to permit a repricing of options, without prior stockholder approval.

Amendment and Termination of the 2009 Plan. Our Board may amend or terminate the 2009 Plan at any time, subject to stockholder approval if such approval is required under any applicable laws or stock exchange requirements. The 2009 Plan automatically terminates on the day immediately preceding the tenth anniversary of the 2009 Plan.

Grants Under the 2009 Plan. As of September 30, 2010, grants under the 2009 plan consist of stock options to purchase 1,665,000 shares of our Common Stock as set forth in the table below.

The foregoing grants were made subject to stockholder approval of the 2009 Plan and were subsequently approved by a majority of the stockholders pursuant to the Written Consent. Each of the foregoing grants was made on December 4, 2009 at an exercise price of $0.38 and with a term of ten years. The options vest according to the following schedule:

Vesting Date	Shares for which the option is exercisable on the vesting  date:
December 4, 2010	33	%
December 4, 2011	33	%
December 4, 2012	34	%

Grants under the 2009 Plan are discretionary, so it is not currently possible to predict the number of shares of our common stock that will be granted or who will receive grants under the 2009 Plan in the future in addition to the grants described above.

The last reported sale price of a share of our common stock on October 13, 2010, was $0.25 per share.

Federal Income Tax Consequences of the 2009 Plan

The federal income tax consequences of grants under the 2009 Plan will depend on the type of grant. The following summary provides only a general description of the application of federal income tax laws to grants under the 2009 Plan. This discussion is not intended as tax guidance to grantees, as the consequences may vary according to, among other things, the types of grants made, the identity of the grantees and the method of payment or settlement. The summary does not address the effects of other federal taxes (including possible “golden parachute” excise taxes) or taxes imposed under state, local, or foreign tax laws.

From the grantees’ standpoint, as a general rule, ordinary income will be recognized at the time of delivery of shares of our common stock or payment of cash under the 2009 Plan. Future appreciation on shares of our Common Stock held beyond the ordinary income recognition event will be taxable as capital gain when the shares of our common stock are sold. The tax rate applicable to capital gain will depend upon, among other things, how long the grantee holds the shares. We, as a general rule, will be entitled to a tax deduction that corresponds in time and amount to the ordinary income recognized by the grantee, and we will not be entitled to any tax deduction with respect to capital gain income recognized by the grantee.

Exceptions to these general rules arise under the following circumstances:

(i) If shares of our common stock, when delivered, are subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture by reason of any employment or performance-related condition, ordinary income taxation and our tax deduction will be delayed until the risk of forfeiture lapses, unless the grantee makes a special election to accelerate taxation under Section 83(b) of the Code.

(ii) If an employee exercises a stock option that qualifies as an ISO, no ordinary income will be recognized, and we will not be entitled to any tax deduction, if shares of our Common Stock acquired upon exercise of the stock option are held until the later of (A) one year from the date of exercise and (B) two years from the date of grant. However, if the employee disposes of the shares acquired upon exercise of an ISO before satisfying both holding period requirements, the employee will recognize ordinary income at the time of the disposition equal to the difference between the fair market value of the shares on the date of exercise (or the amount realized on the disposition, if less)

9

and the exercise price, and we will be entitled to a tax deduction in that amount. The gain, if any, in excess of the amount recognized as ordinary income will be long-term or short-term capital gain, depending upon the length of time the employee held the shares before the disposition.

(iii) A grant may be subject to a 20% tax, in addition to ordinary income tax, at the time the grant becomes vested, plus interest, if the grant constitutes deferred compensation under Section 409A of the Code and the requirements of Section 409A of the Code are not satisfied.

Section 162(m) of the Code generally disallows a publicly held corporation’s tax deduction for compensation paid to its chief executive officer or certain other officers in excess of $1 million in any year. Qualified performance-based compensation is excluded from the $1 million deductibility limit, and therefore remains fully deductible by the corporation that pays it. We intend that options and SARs granted under the 2009 Plan will be qualified performance-based compensation. Stock units, stock awards, dividend equivalents, and other stock-based awards granted under the 2009 Plan may be designated as qualified performance-based compensation if the Committee conditions such grants on the achievement of specific performance goals in accordance with the requirements of Section 162(m) of the Code.

We have the right to require that grantees pay to us an amount necessary for us to satisfy our federal, state or local tax withholding obligations with respect to grants. We may withhold from other amounts payable to a grantee an amount necessary to satisfy these obligations. The Committee may permit a grantee to satisfy our withholding obligation with respect to grants paid in shares of our common stock by having shares withheld, at the time the grants become taxable, provided that the number of shares withheld does not exceed the individual’s minimum applicable withholding tax rate for federal, state and local tax liabilities.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Overview and Philosophy

The Board designs compensation plans to enable us to attract and retain outstanding executives in the healthcare industry to assist us in meeting our long-range objectives, thereby serving the interests of our stockholders. The Board’s compensation philosophy is to provide rewards that (1) are linked to both our performance and individual performance, (2) align employee interests with stockholder interests, (3) are sufficient to attract and retain high-quality employees, and (4) provide a mix of cash and potential stock ownership tied to long-term as well as immediate business strategies.

The following key principles guide the Board in structuring compensation targets and packages of executive officers and key management:

• Total annual compensation will include salary as the core compensation plus an annual bonus, if specified criteria are met, and options or warrants to purchase shares of our common or preferred stock. The value of our common stock is a function of the market price, which is an extension of stockholder interests.

• Management development includes support of compensation opportunity structures to attract and retain individuals who can maximize the creation of stockholder value, and motivate employees to attain Company and individual objectives.

• Recognition of individual contributions as well as our overall results toward identified business results.

• Competitive position of both base salary and total compensation within the healthcare industry.

Determination of Compensation

The Board determines the total compensation levels for our executive officers by considering several factors, including each executive officer’s role and responsibilities, how the executive officer is performing against those responsibilities, our performance, and the competitive market data applicable to each executive officer’s position.

In arriving at specific levels of compensation for executive officers, the Board has relied on:

• the recommendations of our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and our Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) (but not with respect to their own compensation levels),

13

• benchmarks provided by generally available compensation surveys, and

• the experience of Board members and their knowledge of compensation paid by comparable companies or companies of similar size or generally engaged in the healthcare services business.

We seek an appropriate relationship between executive pay and corporate performance that focuses on customer service, fairness to employees, and the generation of a reasonable return for our stockholders, all within the parameters of good corporate governance. Executive officers are entitled to customary benefits generally available to all of our employees, including group medical, dental and life insurance, and a 401(k) plan. In recognition of the importance of the role played by our key executive officers in the success of our business, we have entered into employment agreements and severance arrangements with these key executive officers to provide them with the employment security and severance deemed necessary to retain them.

Components of Executive Compensation

Base Salary. Base salaries provide our executive officers with a degree of financial certainty and stability, and are intended to be maintained at slightly above the median range of salary for similar positions at public companies that are in the same line of business as the Company and are of similar size. We seek to provide base salaries sufficient to attract and retain highly qualified executives. The Board establishes the base salaries of our executive officers and salaries are reviewed in the case of executive promotions or other significant changes in responsibilities. In each case, the Board takes into account competitive salary practices, scope of responsibilities, the results previously achieved by the executive and his or her development potential.

The Board has the responsibility to determine increases or decreases in base salaries on an individual basis. Our objective is to reward performance consistent with our overall financial performance in the context of competitive practice, including changes to an executive officer’s scope of responsibilities, in combination with general market trends. No formulaic base salary increases are provided to the named executive officers.

In addition to complying with the requirements of applicable employment agreements, compensation for each of the executive officers during the year ended December 31, 2009 was based on the executive’s performance of his or her duties and responsibilities, our performance, both financial and otherwise, and the success of the executive in managing, developing and executing our business development, sales and marketing, financing and strategic plans, as appropriate.

Signing Bonus. In filling an open senior management position, we conduct an extensive search to identify an executive that will fit our corporate culture and be best able to accomplish our goals. To attract and secure the best managerial talent, we may offer a cash signing bonus to the candidate. We may also pay signing bonuses to retain existing executives at the time a new employment agreement is executed. The amount of the signing bonus is determined by the Board at its discretion and included as a component of the executive’s employment agreement. During 2009, we paid an $80,000 signing bonus to Clark Marcus, our Chairman and CEO, and a $20,000 signing bonus to Robert Landis, our Chief Accounting Officer (“CAO”).

Annual Incentive Bonus. Certain executive officers are eligible to receive cash bonuses based on the degree of our achievement of financial and other objectives, which are documented in each officer’s employment agreement. An executive’s performance against the objectives is

14

evaluated annually by the Board, most often after our yearly financial results have been audited. The primary purpose of our annual performance incentive awards is to motivate our executives to meet or exceed our short-term and long-term performance objectives. Our annual cash bonuses are designed to reward our executive officers for their contributions toward corporate objectives.

Our Chairman of the Board and CEO, Clark Marcus and our CFO, Giuseppe Crisafi, are each eligible to receive a special bonus in an amount equal to one percent of the Company’s pre-tax profits for a preceding year, up to the first $1 million of such profits, plus an additional sum equal to two percent of the Company’s pre-tax profits for all sums over $1 million.

Our CAO, Robert J. Landis, is eligible to receive an annual bonus as determined by and at the discretion of the Board.

Stock, stock options, and similar equity instruments. Equity participation is a key component of our executive compensation program. Equity awards are designed to retain executive officers and encourage recipients to pursue our continued growth and success to increase the value of their equity awards, thus aligning their financial interests with those of our stockholders. Under our 2002 Incentive Compensation Plan, as amended, and our 2009 Equity Compensation Plan (collectively, the “Plans”), we are able to award our employees, directors and consultants shares of common stock, stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, and restricted stock units. In addition, we have the ability to issue warrants for the purchase of our convertible preferred stock as an incentive equity instrument. To date, we have utilized common stock, stock options and warrants for the purchase of preferred stock as the means of providing equity participation. These instruments are intended to enable us to attract and retain key personnel and provide an effective incentive for management to create stockholder value over the long term since the value of the equity instruments depends on appreciation in the price of our common stock.

Equity incentive instruments issued during 2009 consist of 75,000 stock options issued to Robert Landis, our CAO, 50,000 stock options issued to John Hill, our former President and Co-CEO, a warrant to purchase 100 shares of our Series D Convertible Preferred Stock issued to each of Clark Marcus, Chairman of the Board and CEO, and Giuseppe Crisafi, CFO, and a warrant to purchase 70 shares of our Series D Convertible Preferred Stock issued to John Hill, former President and Co-CEO. At the request of Mr. Marcus, we subsequently subdivided his warrant and issued three warrants for the purchase of 30 shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock to each of his three adult children and one warrant to Mr. Marcus for the purchase of 10 shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock.

In certain instances, stock options may be granted to executive officers upon hiring as part of an employment package intended to attract top candidates. In the past we have not timed stock option grants in coordination with the release of material nonpublic information, nor do we plan to do so in the future. Stock option grants to employees are at the discretion of the Compensation Committee, which utilizes recommendations from management in determining awards. Stock option exercise prices are determined in accordance with the Plan, which specifies that the exercise price will be equal to fair market value of a share of our common stock on the date of grant. Such grants provide an incentive for our executives and other employees to increase our market value, as represented by our market price, as well as serving as a method for motivating and retaining our executives.

In determining to provide long-term incentive awards in the form of stock options, the Board considers cost and dilution impact, market trends relating to long-term incentive compensation and other relevant factors. The Board believes that an award of stock options more closely aligns the interests of the recipient with those of our stockholders because the recipient will only realize a return on the option if our stock price increases over the term of the option.

(4) Amounts reflect the aggregate grant date fair value of stock options and warrants computed in accordance with ASC 718 Compensation – Stock Compensation using the Black-Sholes option pricing model, which incorporates various assumptions about volatility, expected dividend yield, expected life, and applicable interest rates. Outstanding stock option and warrant awards for each non-employee director as of December 31, 2009 are as follows:

	Number of Common Shares Underlying Awards:
Name:	Options (#)	Warrants (#)
Arnold B. Finestone	25,000	600,000
Joshua I. Smith	25,000	800,000
Sharon Kay Ray	25,000	300,000
Arthur K. Yeap	25,000	300,000

(5) During 2009, Mr. Smith received $50,000 in consulting fees from a subsidiary of the Company.

Members of the Board of Directors who are also executive officers or employees of the Company receive no compensation for serving as directors. During 2009, non-employee directors were granted stock options from our Non-employee Directors’ Stock Option Plan that vest in 20% increments over five years. Our directors also received warrants for the purchase of shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock. The warrants were vested upon issuance and if exercised, allow the purchase of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock which may in turn be converted to 100,000 common shares per share of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock. Directors additionally received during the year monthly cash fees in amounts ranging from to $1,500 to $4,000, depending on committee chairs held.

Limitations on the deductibility of compensation

Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Tax Code”), places a limit of $1.0 million on the amount of compensation that we can deduct in any one year with respect to each of our five most highly paid executive officers. However, certain performance-based compensation as defined by Section 162(m) of the Tax Code is not subject to the deduction limit. Our Board of Directors believes that all anticipated compensation during the year ended December 31, 2009 will satisfy the requirements of Section 162(m) of the Tax Code and, as such, would be deductible for federal income tax purposes. Further, our Compensation Committee believes that the deductibility of officer compensation in excess of the $1.0 million threshold is not likely to be an issue for us to address in the foreseeable future.

CHANGES IN CONTROL

We underwent two changes in control since the beginning of our last fiscal year:

1) On January 16, 2009 Core Corporate Consulting Group, Inc. (“Core”), a privately held Delaware corporation, purchased a controlling, 49% interest in our equity securities for consideration of $1.5 million from Woodcliff Healthcare Investment Partners LLC (“Woodcliff”). Core acquired its 49% controlling interest through its acquisition from Woodcliff of 1,739,130 shares of our common stock and 14,400 shares of our then outstanding Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, convertible into 4,553,136 shares of our common stock. The source of the consideration was funds invested in Core by Core’s stockholders.

2) On January 20, 2009, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Core. To consummate the merger we exchanged on a one-for-one basis shares of our common stock for all shares of Core’s Class A common stock held by Core’s stockholders. We also exchanged shares of our newly created Series B-1 and B-2 Convertible Preferred Stock for all shares of Core’s Class B common stock held by Core’s stockholders. By virtue of these exchanges, Core’s stockholders became entitled to approximately 77% of our total voting power.

22

As a result of the transactions described above, three of the seven members of our Board of Directors resigned on January 16, 2009. In addition, two members of our Board of Directors resigned on January 20, 2009 and four new members of our Board of Directors were appointed by Core on January 21, 2009.

Ministerial functions may be performed by an administrative committee comprised of Company employees appointed by the Committee.

(b) Committee Authority. The Committee shall have the sole authority to (i) determine the Participants to whom Grants shall be made under the Plan, (ii) determine the type, size and terms and conditions of the Grants to be made to each such Participant, (iii) determine the time when the Grants will be made and the duration of any applicable exercise or restriction period, including the criteria for exercisability and the acceleration of exercisability, (iv) amend the terms and conditions of any previously issued Grant, subject to the provisions of Section 18 below, and (v) deal with any other matters arising under the Plan.

The Committee’s interpretations of the Plan and all determinations made by the Committee pursuant to the powers vested in it hereunder shall be conclusive and binding on all persons having any interest in the Plan or in any awards granted hereunder. All powers of the Committee shall be executed in its sole discretion, in the best interest of the Company, not as a fiduciary, and in keeping with the objectives of the Plan and need not be uniform as to similarly situated Participants.

4. Grants

(a) Grants under the Plan may consist of Options as described in Section 7, Stock Units as described in Section 8, Stock Awards as described in Section 9, SARs as described in Section 10 and Other Stock-Based Awards as described in Section 11.

5. Shares Subject to the Plan

(a) Shares Authorized. Subject to adjustment as described below in (d), the total aggregate number of shares of Company Stock that may be issued under the Plan shall be 10,000,000 shares of Company Stock.

(b) Source of Shares; Share Counting. Shares issued under the Plan may be authorized but unissued shares of Company Stock or reacquired shares of Company Stock, including shares purchased by the Company on the open market for purposes of the Plan. If and to the extent Options or SARs granted under the Plan terminate, expire, or are canceled, forfeited, exchanged or surrendered without having been exercised, and if and to the extent that any Stock Awards, Stock Units, or Other Stock-Based Awards are forfeited or terminated, or otherwise are not paid in full, the shares reserved for such Grants shall again be available for purposes of the Plan. Shares of Stock surrendered in payment of the Exercise Price of an Option, and shares withheld or surrendered for payment of taxes, shall not be available for re-issuance under the Plan. If SARs are granted, the full number of shares subject to the SARs shall be considered issued under the Plan, without regard to the number of shares issued upon exercise of the SARs and without regard to any cash settlement of the SARs. To the extent that a Grant of Stock Units is designated in the Grant Agreement to be paid in cash, and not in shares of Company Stock, such Grants shall not count against the share limits in subsection (a).

(c) Individual Limits. All Grants under the Plan shall be expressed in shares of Company Stock. The maximum aggregate number of shares of Company Stock with respect to which all Grants may be made under the Plan to any individual during any calendar year shall be 1,000,000 shares, subject to adjustment as described in subsection (d) below. The individual limits of this subsection (c) shall apply without regard to whether the Grants are to be paid in Company Stock or cash. All cash payments (other than with respect to Dividend Equivalents) shall equal the Fair Market Value of the shares of Company Stock to which the cash payments relate. A Participant may not accrue Dividend Equivalents during any calendar year in excess of $1,000,000.

(d) Adjustments. If there is any change in the number or kind of shares of Company Stock outstanding (i) by reason of a stock dividend, spinoff, recapitalization, stock split, or combination or exchange of shares, (ii) by reason of a merger, reorganization or consolidation, (iii) by reason of a reclassification or change in par value, or (iv) by reason of any other extraordinary or unusual event affecting the outstanding Company Stock as a class without the Company’s receipt of consideration, or if the value of outstanding shares of Company Stock is substantially reduced as a result of a

A-3

spinoff or the Company’s payment of an extraordinary dividend or distribution, the maximum number of shares of Company Stock available for issuance under the Plan, the maximum number of shares of Company Stock for which any individual may receive Grants in any year, the kind and number of shares covered by outstanding Grants, the kind and number of shares issued and to be issued under the Plan, and the price per share or the applicable market value of such Grants shall be equitably adjusted by the Committee, in such manner as the Committee deems appropriate, to reflect any increase or decrease in the number of, or change in the kind or value of, the issued shares of Company Stock to preclude, to the extent practicable, the enlargement or dilution of rights and benefits under the Plan and such outstanding Grants; provided, however, that any fractional shares resulting from such adjustment shall be eliminated. In addition, in the event of a Change of Control of the Company, the provisions of Section 16 of the Plan shall apply. Any adjustments to outstanding Grants shall be consistent with section 409A or 424 of the Code, to the extent applicable. Any adjustments determined by the Committee shall be final, binding and conclusive.

6. Eligibility for Participation

(a) Eligible Persons. All Employees and Non-Employee Directors shall be eligible to participate in the Plan including consultants and advisors who perform services for the Company or any of its subsidiaries (“Key Advisors”) if the Key Advisors render bona fide services to the Company or its subsidiaries, the services are not in connection with the offer and sale of securities in a capital-raising transaction, and the Key Advisors do not directly or indirectly promote or maintain a market for the Company’s securities.

(b) Selection of Participants. The Committee shall select the Employees, Non-Employee Directors and Key Advisors to receive Grants and shall determine the number of shares of Company Stock subject to each Grant.

7. Options

(a) General Requirements. The Committee may grant Options to an Employee, Non-Employee Director or Key Advisor upon such terms and conditions as the Committee deems appropriate under this Section 7. The Committee shall determine the number of shares of Company Stock that will be subject to each Grant of Options to Employees, Non-Employee Directors and Key Advisors.

(b) Type of Option, Price and Term.

(i) The Committee may grant Incentive Stock Options or Non-Qualified Stock Options or any combination of the two, all in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth herein. Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to Employees of the Company or its parents or subsidiaries, as defined in section 424 of the Code. Non-Qualified Stock Options may be granted to Employees, Non-Employee Directors or Key Advisors.

(ii) The Exercise Price of Company Stock subject to an Option shall be determined by the Committee and may be equal to or greater than the Fair Market Value of a share of Company Stock on the date the Option is granted. However, an Incentive Stock Option may not be granted to an Employee who, at the time of grant, owns stock possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any parent or subsidiary, as defined in section 424 of the Code, unless the Exercise Price per share is not less than 110% of the Fair Market Value of the Company Stock on the date of grant.

(iii) The Committee shall determine the term of each Option, which shall not exceed ten years from the date of grant. However, an Incentive Stock Option that is granted to an Employee who, at the time of grant, owns stock possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any parent or subsidiary, as defined in section 424 of the Code, may not have a term that exceeds five years from the date of grant.

(c) Exercisability of Options.

(i) Options shall become exercisable in accordance with such terms and conditions as may be determined by the Committee and specified in the Grant Agreement. The Committee may grant Options that are subject to achievement of performance goals or other conditions. The Committee may accelerate the exercisability of any or all outstanding Options at any time for any reason.

(ii) The Committee may provide in a Grant Agreement that the Participant may elect to exercise part or all of an Option before it otherwise has become exercisable. Any shares so purchased shall be restricted shares and shall be subject to a repurchase right in favor of the Company during a specified restriction period, with the repurchase price equal to the lesser of (A) the Exercise Price or (B) the Fair Market Value of such shares at the time of repurchase, or such other restrictions as the Committee deems appropriate.

A-4

(iii) Options granted to persons who are non-exempt employees under the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, as amended, may not be exercisable for at least six months after the date of grant (except that such Options may become exercisable, as determined by the Committee, upon the Participant’s death, disability or retirement, or upon a Change of Control or other circumstances permitted by applicable regulations).

(d) Termination of Employment or Service. Unless otherwise provided in the Grant Agreement, an Incentive Stock Option may only be exercised while the Participant is employed as an Employee and until the earliest of (i) the three month anniversary of the date employment terminates for any reason other than death or Disability; (ii) the one year anniversary of the date employment terminates due to death or Disability; or (iii) the expiration date of the option. Except as provided in the Grant Agreement, a Non-Qualified Stock Option may only be exercised while the Participant is employed as an Employee or providing service as a Non-Employee Director or Key Advisor. The Committee shall determine in the Grant Agreement under what circumstances and during what time periods, if any, a Participant may exercise a Non-Qualified Stock Option after termination of employment or service.

(e) Exercise of Options. A Participant may exercise an Option that has become exercisable, in whole or in part, by delivering a notice of exercise to the Company. The Participant shall pay the Exercise Price for the Option (i) in cash, (ii) if permitted by the Committee, by delivering shares of Company Stock owned by the Participant and having a Fair Market Value on the date of exercise equal to the Exercise Price or by attestation to ownership of shares of Company Stock having an aggregate Fair Market Value on the date of exercise equal to the Exercise Price, (iii) by payment through a broker in accordance with procedures permitted by Regulation T of the Federal Reserve Board, or (iv) by such other method as the Committee may approve, to the extent permitted by applicable law. Shares of Company Stock used to exercise an Option shall have been held by the Participant for the requisite period of time to avoid adverse accounting consequences to the Company with respect to the Option. Payment for the shares pursuant to the Option, and any required withholding taxes, must be received by the time specified by the Committee depending on the type of payment being made, but in all cases prior to the issuance of the Company Stock. In addition, only if allowable by Grant Agreement or approved by Committee, to the extent an Option is at the time exercisable for vested shares of Company Stock, all or any part of that vested portion may be surrendered to the Company for an appreciation distribution payable in shares of Company Stock with a Fair Market Value at the time of the Option surrender equal to the dollar amount by which the then Fair Market Value of the shares of Company Stock subject to the surrendered portion exceeds the aggregate Exercise Price payable for those shares.

(f) Limits on Incentive Stock Options. Each Incentive Stock Option shall provide that, if the aggregate Fair Market Value of the stock on the date of the grant with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by a Participant during any calendar year, under the Plan or any other stock option plan of the Company or a parent or subsidiary, as defined in section 424 of the Code, exceeds $100,000, then the Option, as to the excess, shall be treated as a Non-Qualified Stock Option. An Incentive Stock Option shall not be granted to any person who is not an Employee of the Company or a parent or subsidiary, as defined in section 424 of the Code.

8. Stock Units

(a) General Requirements. The Committee may grant Stock Units to an Employee, Non-Employee Director or Key Advisor, upon such terms and conditions as the Committee deems appropriate under this Section 8. Each Stock Unit shall represent the right of the Participant to receive a share of Company Stock or an amount based on the value of a share of Company Stock. All Stock Units shall be credited to bookkeeping accounts on the Company’s records for purposes of the Plan.

(b) Terms of Stock Units. The Committee may grant Stock Units that are payable on terms and conditions determined by the Committee, which may include payment based on achievement of performance goals. Stock Units may be paid at the end of a specified vesting or performance period, or payment may be deferred to a date authorized by the Committee. The Committee shall determine the number of Stock Units to be granted and the requirements applicable to such Stock Units.

(c) Payment With Respect to Stock Units. Payment with respect to Stock Units shall be made in cash, in Company Stock, or in a combination of the two, as determined by the Committee. The Grant Agreement shall specify the maximum number of shares that can be issued under the Stock Units.

(d) Requirement of Employment or Service. The Committee shall determine in the Grant Agreement under what circumstances a Participant may retain Stock Units after termination of the Participant’s employment or service, and the circumstances under which Stock Units may be forfeited.

(e) Dividend Equivalents. The Committee may grant Dividend Equivalents in connection with Stock Units, under such terms and conditions as the Committee deems appropriate. Dividend Equivalents may be paid to Participants currently or may be deferred. All Dividend Equivalents that are not paid currently shall be credited to bookkeeping accounts on the Company’s records for purposes of the Plan. Dividend Equivalents may be accrued as a cash obligation,

A-5

or may be converted to additional Stock Units for the Participant, and deferred Dividend Equivalents may accrue interest, all as determined by the Committee. The Committee may provide that Dividend Equivalents shall be payable based on the achievement of specific performance goals. Dividend Equivalents may be payable in cash or shares of Company Stock or in a combination of the two, as determined by the Committee.

9. Stock Awards

(a) General Requirements. The Committee may issue shares of Company Stock to an Employee, Non-Employee Director or Key Advisor under a Stock Award, upon such terms and conditions as the Committee deems appropriate under this Section 9. Shares of Company Stock issued pursuant to Stock Awards may be issued for cash consideration or for no cash consideration, and subject to restrictions or no restrictions, as determined by the Committee. The Committee may establish conditions under which restrictions on Stock Awards shall lapse over a period of time or according to such other criteria as the Committee deems appropriate, including restrictions based upon the achievement of specific performance goals. The Committee shall determine the number of shares of Company Stock to be issued pursuant to a Stock Award.

(b) Requirement of Employment or Service. The Committee shall determine in the Grant Agreement under what circumstances a Participant may retain Stock Awards after termination of the Participant’s employment or service, and the circumstances under which Stock Awards may be forfeited.

(c) Restrictions on Transfer. While Stock Awards are subject to restrictions, a Participant may not sell, assign, transfer, pledge or otherwise dispose of the shares of a Stock Award except upon death as described in Section 15(a). If certificates are issued, each certificate for a share of a Stock Award shall contain a legend giving appropriate notice of the restrictions in the Grant. The Participant shall be entitled to have the legend removed when all restrictions on such shares have lapsed. The Company may retain possession of any certificates for Stock Awards until all restrictions on such shares have lapsed.

(d) Right to Vote and to Receive Dividends. The Committee shall determine to what extent, and under what conditions, the Participant shall have the right to vote shares of Stock Awards and to receive any dividends or other distributions paid on such shares during the restriction period. The Committee may determine that dividends on Stock Awards shall be withheld while the Stock Awards are subject to restrictions and that the dividends shall be payable only upon the lapse of the restrictions on the Stock Awards, or on such other terms as the Committee determines. Dividends that are not paid currently shall be credited to bookkeeping accounts on the Company’s records for purposes of the Plan. Accumulated dividends may accrue interest, as determined by the Committee, and shall be paid in cash, shares of Company Stock, or in such other form as dividends are paid on Company Stock, as determined by the Committee.

10. Stock Appreciation Rights

(a) General Requirements. The Committee may grant SARs to an Employee, Non-Employee Director or Key Advisor separately or in tandem with an Option. The Committee shall establish the number of shares, the terms and the base amount of the SAR at the time the SAR is granted. The base amount of each SAR shall be not less than the Fair Market Value of a share of Company Stock as of the date of grant of the SAR.

(b) Tandem SARs. The Committee may grant tandem SARs either at the time the Option is granted or at any time thereafter while the Option remains outstanding; provided, however, that, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option, SARs may be granted only at the date of the grant of the Incentive Stock Option. In the case of tandem SARs, the number of SARs granted to a Participant that shall be exercisable during a specified period shall not exceed the number of shares of Company Stock that the Participant may purchase upon the exercise of the related Option during such period. Upon the exercise of an Option, the SARs relating to the Company Stock covered by such Option shall terminate. Upon the exercise of SARs, the related Option shall terminate to the extent of an equal number of shares of Company Stock.

(c) Exercisability. A SAR shall become exercisable in accordance with such terms and conditions as may be specified. The Committee may grant SARs that are subject to achievement of performance goals or other conditions. The Committee may accelerate the exercisability of any or all outstanding SARs at any time for any reason. The Committee shall determine in the Grant Agreement under what circumstances and during what periods a Participant may exercise a SAR after termination of employment or service. A tandem SAR shall be exercisable only while the Option to which it is related is exercisable.

(d) Grants to Non-Exempt Employees. SARs granted to persons who are non-exempt employees under the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, as amended, may not be exercisable for at least six months after the date of grant (except that such SARs may become exercisable, as determined by the Committee, upon the Participant’s death, Disability or retirement, or upon a Change of Control or other circumstances permitted by applicable regulations).

A-6

(e) Exercise of SARs. When a Participant exercises SARs, the Participant shall receive in settlement of such SARs an amount equal to the value of the stock appreciation for the number of SARs exercised. The stock appreciation for a SAR is the amount by which the Fair Market Value of the underlying Company Stock on the date of exercise of the SAR exceeds the base amount of the SAR as specified in the Grant Agreement.

(f) Form of Payment. The Committee shall determine whether the stock appreciation for a SAR shall be paid in the form of shares of Company Stock, cash or a combination of the two. For purposes of calculating the number of shares of Company Stock to be received, shares of Company Stock shall be valued at their Fair Market Value on the date of exercise of the SAR. If shares of Company Stock are to be received upon exercise of a SAR, cash shall be delivered in lieu of any fractional share.

11. Other Stock-Based Awards

The Committee may grant other awards not specified in Sections 7, 8, 9 or 10 above that are based on or measured by Company Stock to Employees, Non-Employee Directors and Key Advisors, on such terms and conditions as the Committee deems appropriate. Other Stock-Based Awards may be granted subject to achievement of performance goals or other conditions and may be payable in Company Stock or cash, or in a combination of the two, as determined by the Committee in the Grant Agreement.

12. Deferrals

The Committee may permit or require a Participant to defer receipt of the payment of cash or the delivery of shares that would otherwise be due to the Participant in connection with any Grant. The Committee shall establish rules and procedures for any such deferrals, consistent with applicable requirements of section 409A of the Code.

13. Withholding of Taxes

(a) Required Withholding. All Grants under the Plan shall be subject to applicable federal (including FICA), state and local tax withholding requirements. The Company may require that the Participant or other person receiving or exercising Grants pay to the Company the amount of any federal, state or local taxes that the Company is required to withhold with respect to such Grants, or the Company may deduct from other wages paid by the Company the amount of any withholding taxes due with respect to such Grants.

(b) Election to Withhold Shares. If the Committee so permits, shares of Company Stock may be withheld to satisfy the Company’s tax withholding obligation with respect to Grants paid in Company Stock, at the time such Grants become taxable, up to an amount that does not exceed the minimum applicable withholding tax rate for federal (including FICA), state and local tax liabilities.

14. Transferability of Grants

(a) Restrictions on Transfer. Except as described in subsection (b) below, only the Participant may exercise rights under a Grant during the Participant’s lifetime, and a Participant may not transfer those rights except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. When a Participant dies, the personal representative or other person entitled to succeed to the rights of the Participant may exercise such rights. Any such successor must furnish proof satisfactory to the Company of his or her right to receive the Grant under the Participant’s will or under the applicable laws of descent and distribution.

(b) Transfer of Non-Qualified Stock Options to or for Family Members. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may provide, in a Grant Agreement, that a Participant may transfer Non-Qualified Stock Options to family members, or one or more trusts or other entities for the benefit of or owned by family members, consistent with applicable securities laws, according to such terms as the Committee may determine; provided that the Participant receives no consideration for the transfer of a Non-Qualified Stock Option and the transferred Non-Qualified Stock Option shall continue to be subject to the same terms and conditions as were applicable to the Non-Qualified Stock Option immediately before the transfer.

15. Consequences of a Change of Control

(a) Notice and Acceleration. Unless the Committee determines otherwise, effective upon the date of the Change of Control, (i) all outstanding Options and SARs shall automatically accelerate and become fully exercisable, (ii) the restrictions and conditions on all outstanding Stock Awards shall immediately lapse, and (iii) all Stock Units, Other Stock-Based Awards and Dividend Equivalents shall become fully vested and shall be paid at their target values, or in such greater amounts as the Committee may determine.

(b) Other Alternatives. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a Change of Control, the Committee may take one or more of the following actions with respect to any or all outstanding Grants: the Committee may (i) require that Grantees surrender their outstanding Options and SARs in exchange for one or more payments by the

A-7

Company, in cash or Company Stock as determined by the Committee, in an amount equal to the amount by which the then Fair Market Value of the shares of Company Stock subject to the Grantee’s unexercised Options and SARs exceeds the Exercise Price of the Options or the base amount of the SARs, as applicable, (ii) after giving Grantees an opportunity to exercise their outstanding Options and SARs, terminate any or all unexercised Options and SARs at such time as the Committee deems appropriate, or (iii) determine that outstanding Options and SARs that are not exercised shall be assumed by, or replaced with comparable options or rights by, the surviving corporation, (or a parent or subsidiary of the surviving corporation), and other outstanding Grants that remain in effect after the Change of Control shall be converted to similar grants of the surviving corporation (or a parent or subsidiary of the surviving corporation). Such surrender or termination shall take place as of the date of the Change of Control or such other date as the Committee may specify.

16. Requirements for Issuance of Shares

No Company Stock shall be issued in connection with any Grant hereunder unless and until all legal requirements applicable to the issuance of such Company Stock have been complied with to the satisfaction of the Committee. The Committee shall have the right to condition any Grant made to any Participant hereunder on such Participant’s undertaking in writing to comply with such restrictions on his or her subsequent disposition of such shares of Company Stock as the Committee shall deem necessary or advisable, and certificates representing such shares may be legended to reflect any such restrictions. Certificates representing shares of Company Stock issued under the Plan will be subject to such stop-transfer orders and other restrictions as may be required by applicable laws, regulations and interpretations, including any requirement that a legend be placed thereon. No Participant shall have any right as a stockholder with respect to Company Stock covered by a Grant until shares have been issued to the Participant.

17. Amendment and Termination of the Plan

(a) Amendment. The Board may amend or terminate the Plan at any time; provided, however, that the Board shall not amend the Plan without approval of the stockholders of the Company if such approval is required in order to comply with the Code or applicable laws, or to comply with applicable stock exchange requirements. No amendment or termination of this Plan shall, without the consent of the Participant, materially impair any rights or obligations under any Grant previously made to the Participant under the Plan, unless such right has been reserved in the Plan or the Grant Agreement, or except as provided in Section 19(b) below. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, the Board may amend the Plan in such manner as it deems appropriate in the event of a change in applicable law or regulations.

(b) No Repricing Without Stockholder Approval. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, the Committee may not reprice Options or SARs, nor may the Board amend the Plan to permit repricing of Options or SARs, unless the stockholders of the Company provide prior approval for such repricing. The term “repricing” shall have the meaning given that term in accordance with the applicable stock exchange in which such shares of Company Stock are registered, as in effect from time to time.

(c) Termination of Plan. The Plan shall terminate on the day immediately preceding the tenth anniversary of its Effective Date, unless the Plan is terminated earlier by the Board or is extended by the Board with the approval of the stockholders. The termination of the Plan shall not impair the power and authority of the Committee with respect to an outstanding Grant.

18. Miscellaneous

(a) Effective Date. The Plan shall be effective as of the Effective Date.

(b) Grants in Connection with Corporate Transactions and Otherwise. Nothing contained in this Plan shall be construed to (i) limit the right of the Committee to make Grants under this Plan in connection with the acquisition, by purchase, lease, merger, consolidation or otherwise, of the business or assets of any corporation, firm or association, including Grants to employees thereof who become Employees, or for other proper corporate purposes, or (ii) limit the right of the Company to grant stock options or make other stock-based awards outside of this Plan. Without limiting the foregoing, the Committee may make a Grant to an employee of another corporation who becomes an Employee by reason of a corporate merger, consolidation, acquisition of stock or property, reorganization or liquidation involving the Company in substitution for a grant made by such corporation. The terms and conditions of the Grants may vary from the terms and conditions required by the Plan and from those of the substituted stock incentives, as determined by the Committee.

(c) Compliance with Law. The Plan, the exercise of Options and the obligations of the Company to issue or transfer shares of Company Stock under Grants shall be subject to all applicable laws and to approvals by any governmental or regulatory agency as may be required. With respect to persons subject to section 16 of the Exchange Act, it is the intent of the Company that the Plan and all transactions under the Plan comply with all applicable provisions of Rule 16b-3 or its successors under the Exchange Act. In addition, it is the intent of the Company that

A-8

Incentive Stock Options comply with the applicable provisions of section 422 of the Code, Grants comply with the requirements of section 409A of the Code or an exception from such requirements. To the extent that any legal requirement of section 16 of the Exchange Act or section 422, 162(m) or 409A of the Code as set forth in the Plan ceases to be required under section 16 of the Exchange Act or section 422, 162(m) or 409A of the Code, that Plan provision shall cease to apply. The Committee may revoke any Grant if it is contrary to law or modify a Grant to bring it into compliance with any valid and mandatory government regulation. The Committee may also adopt rules regarding the withholding of taxes on payments to Participants. The Committee may, in its sole discretion, agree to limit its authority under this Section.

(d) Enforceability. The Plan shall be binding upon and enforceable against the Company and its successors and assigns.

(e) Funding of the Plan; Limitation on Rights. This Plan shall be unfunded. The Company shall not be required to establish any special or separate fund or to make any other segregation of assets to assure the payment of any Grants under this Plan. Nothing contained in the Plan and no action taken pursuant hereto shall create or be construed to create a fiduciary relationship between the Company and any Participant or any other person. No Participant or any other person shall under any circumstances acquire any property interest in any specific assets of the Company. To the extent that any person acquires a right to receive payment from the Company hereunder, such right shall be no greater than the right of any unsecured general creditor of the Company.

(f) Rights of Participants. Nothing in this Plan shall entitle any Employee, Non-Employee Director, Key Advisor or other person to any claim or right to receive a Grant under this Plan. Neither this Plan nor any action taken hereunder shall be construed as giving any individual any rights to be retained by or in the employment or service of the Employer.

(g) No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Company Stock shall be issued or delivered pursuant to the Plan or any Grant. The Committee shall determine whether cash, other awards or other property shall be issued or paid in lieu of such fractional shares or whether such fractional shares or any rights thereto shall be forfeited or otherwise eliminated.

(h) Employees Subject to Taxation Outside the United States. With respect to Participants who are subject to taxation in countries other than the United States, the Committee may make Grants on such terms and conditions as the Committee deems appropriate to comply with the laws of the applicable countries, and the Committee may create such procedures, addenda and subplans and make such modifications as may be necessary or advisable to comply with such laws.

(i) Governing Law. The validity, construction, interpretation and effect of the Plan and Grant Agreements issued under the Plan shall be governed and construed by and determined in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to the conflict of laws provisions thereof.
