Item 9. Undertakings
 
1. The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
 
(a)  To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
 
(i) To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
 
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement.
 
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;
 
Provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(i) and (a)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.
 
(b) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered herein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
 
(c) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
 
(d) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
 
(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;
 
(ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;
 
(iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and
 
(iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.
 

 
2. The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered herein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
 
3. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
 

 
SIGNATURES
 
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of San Ramon, State of California, on April 21, 2008.

Stock Option Plan (individually and together, the “Plan”).

In rendering the opinions hereinafter expressed, we have made such legal and factual examinations and inquiries, including an examination of originals or copies certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction as being true reproductions of originals, of all such documents, records, agreements and other instruments, including the Registration Statement, the Plans, and the Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws, and Corporate Minutes as we have deemed necessary and appropriate for the purpose of this opinion.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in our examination, we have assumed without independent verification that (i) each of the parties thereto has duly and validly executed and delivered each instrument, document, and agreement to which such party is a signatory, (ii) each natural person executing any such instrument, document, or agreement is legally competent to do so, (iii) all documents submitted to us as originals are authentic, the signatures on all documents that we examined are genuine, and all documents submitted to us as certified, conformed, photostatic or facsimile copies conform to the original document, and (iv) all corporate records made available to us by the Company are accurate and complete.

Based upon the foregoing, and having regard to legal considerations and other information that we deem relevant, we are of the opinion that the Shares have been duly authorized and, when and to the extent Shares are issued and sold in accordance with the appropriate Plan, such Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

We express no opinion herein as to the laws of any state or jurisdiction other that the laws of the State of Delaware

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and the reference to this firm therein.

2006 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN
 
ADOPTED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS: JANUARY 17, 2006
APPROVED BY THE STOCKHOLDERS: MARCH 21, 2006
AMENDED AUGUST 19, 2007
TERMINATION DATE: JANUARY 16, 2016
 
1.  GENERAL.
 
(a)  Eligible Stock Award Recipients. The persons eligible to receive Stock Awards are Employees, Directors, and Consultants.
 
(b)  Available Stock Awards. The Plan provides for the grant of the following Stock Awards: (i) Incentive Stock Options, (ii) Nonstatutory Stock Options, and (iii) Stock Bonus Awards.
 
(c)  Purpose. The Company, by means of the Plan, seeks to secure and retain the services of the group of persons eligible to receive Stock Awards as set forth in Section 1(a), to provide incentives for such persons to exert maximum efforts for the success of the Company and any Affiliate and to provide a means by which such eligible recipients may be given an opportunity to benefit from increases in value of the Common Stock through the granting of Stock Awards.
 
2.  DEFINITIONS.
 
As used in the Plan, the following definitions shall apply to the capitalized terms indicated below:
 
(a)  “Affiliate” means (i) any corporation (other than the Company) in an unbroken chain of corporations ending with the Company, provided each corporation in the unbroken chain (other than the Company) owns, at the time of the determination, stock possessing fifty percent (50%) or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock in one of the other corporations in such chain, and (ii) any corporation (other than the Company) in an unbroken chain of corporations beginning with the Company, provided each corporation (other than the last corporation) in the unbroken chain owns, at the time of the determination, stock possessing fifty percent (50%) or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock in one of the other corporations in such chain. The Board shall have the authority to determine (i) the time or times at which the ownership tests are applied, and (ii) whether “Affiliate” includes entities other than corporations within the foregoing definition.
 
(b)  “Board” means the Board of Directors of the Company.
 
(c)  “Capitalization Adjustment” has the meaning ascribed to that term in Section 10(a).

(i)  any Exchange Act Person becomes the Owner, directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing more than fifty percent (50%) of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities other than by virtue of a merger, consolidation or similar transaction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Change in Control shall not be deemed to occur (A) on account of the acquisition of securities of the Company by an investor, any affiliate thereof or any other Exchange Act Person that acquires the Company’s securities in a transaction or series of related transactions the primary purpose of which is to obtain financing for the Company through the issuance of equity securities, or (B) solely because the level of Ownership held by any Exchange Act Person (the “Subject Person”) exceeds the designated percentage threshold of the outstanding voting securities as a result of a repurchase or other acquisition of voting securities by the Company reducing the number of shares outstanding, provided that if a Change in Control would occur (but for the operation of this sentence) as a result of the acquisition of voting securities by the Company, and after such share acquisition, the Subject Person becomes the Owner of any additional voting securities that, assuming the repurchase or other acquisition had not occurred, increases the percentage of the then outstanding voting securities Owned by the Subject Person over the designated percentage threshold, then a Change in Control shall be deemed to occur;
 
(ii)  there is consummated a merger, consolidation or similar transaction involving (directly or indirectly) the Company and, immediately after the consummation of such merger, consolidation or similar transaction, the stockholders of the Company immediately prior thereto do not Own, directly or indirectly, either (A) outstanding voting securities representing more than fifty percent (50%) of the combined outstanding voting power of the surviving Entity in such merger, consolidation or similar transaction or (B) more than fifty percent (50%) of the combined outstanding voting power of the parent of the surviving Entity in such merger, consolidation or similar transaction, in each case in substantially the same proportions as their Ownership of the outstanding voting securities of the Company immediately prior to such transaction;
 
(iii)  the stockholders of the Company approve or the Board approves a plan of complete dissolution or liquidation of the Company, or a complete dissolution or liquidation of the Company shall otherwise occur; or
 
(iv)  there is consummated a sale, lease, exclusive license or other disposition of all or substantially all of the consolidated assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, other than a sale, lease, license or other disposition of all or substantially all of the consolidated assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries to an Entity, more than fifty percent (50%) of the combined voting power of the voting securities of which are Owned by stockholders of the Company in substantially the same proportions as their Ownership of the outstanding voting securities of the Company immediately prior to such sale, lease, license or other disposition.
 
The term Change in Control shall not include a sale of assets, merger or other transaction effected exclusively for the purpose of changing the domicile of the Company.
 
 
2.

 
Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Plan, the definition of Change in Control (or any analogous term) in an individual written agreement between the Company or any Affiliate and the Participant shall supersede the foregoing definition with respect to Stock Awards subject to such agreement; provided, however, that if no definition of Change in Control or any analogous term is set forth in such an individual written agreement, the foregoing definition shall apply.
 
(e)  “Code” means the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
 
(f)  “Committee” means a committee of two (2) or more members of the Board to whom authority has been delegated by the Board in accordance with Section 3(c).
 
(g)  “Common Stock” means the common stock of the Company.
 
(h)  “Company” means Neonode, Inc., a Delaware corporation.
 
(i)  “Consultant” means any person, including an advisor, who is (i) engaged by the Company or an Affiliate to render consulting or advisory services and is compensated for such services, or (ii) serving as a member of the Board of Directors of an Affiliate and is compensated for such services. However, service solely as a Director, or payment of a fee for such service, shall not cause a Director to be considered a “Consultant” for purposes of the Plan. 
 
(j)  “Continuous Service” means that the Participant’s service with the Company or an Affiliate, whether as an Employee, Director or Consultant, is not interrupted or terminated. A change in the capacity in which the Participant renders service to the Company or an Affiliate as an Employee, Consultant or Director or a change in the entity for which the Participant renders such service, provided that there is no interruption or termination of the Participant’s service with the Company or an Affiliate, shall not terminate a Participant’s Continuous Service; provided, however, if the corporation for which a Participant is rendering service ceases to qualify as an Affiliate, as determined by the Board in its sole discretion, such Participant’s Continuous Service shall be considered to have terminated on the date such corporation ceases to qualify as an Affiliate. For example, a change in status from an employee of the Company to a consultant of an Affiliate or to a Director shall not constitute an interruption of Continuous Service. To the extent permitted by law, the Board or the chief executive officer of the Company, in that party’s sole discretion, may determine whether Continuous Service shall be considered interrupted in the case of any leave of absence approved by that party, including sick leave, military leave or any other personal leave. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a leave of absence shall be treated as Continuous Service for purposes of vesting in a Stock Award only to such extent as may be provided in the Company’s leave of absence policy or in the written terms of the Participant’s leave of absence.
 
(k)  “Corporate Transaction” means the occurrence, in a single transaction or in a series of related transactions, of any one or more of the following events:
 
(i)  a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all, as determined by the Board in its sole discretion, of the consolidated assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries;
 
 
3.

 
(ii)  a sale or other disposition of at least ninety percent (90%) of the outstanding securities of the Company;

(i)  To determine from time to time (1) which of the persons eligible under the Plan shall be granted Stock Awards; (2) when and how each Stock Award shall be granted; (3) what type or combination of types of Stock Award shall be granted; (4) the provisions of each Stock Award granted (which need not be identical), including the time or times when a person shall be permitted to receive Common Stock pursuant to a Stock Award; and (5) the number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which a Stock Award shall be granted to each such person.

6.  OPTION PROVISIONS.
 
Each Option shall be in such form and shall contain such terms and conditions as the Board shall deem appropriate. All Options shall be separately designated Incentive Stock Options or Nonstatutory Stock Options at the time of grant, and, if certificates are issued, a separate certificate or certificates shall be issued for shares of Common Stock purchased on exercise of each type of Option.

(d)  Consideration. The purchase price of Common Stock acquired pursuant to the exercise of an Option shall be paid, to the extent permitted by applicable law and as determined by the Board in its sole discretion, by any combination of the methods of payment set forth below.

The methods of payment permitted by this Section 6(d) are:
 
(i)  by cash or check;
 
(ii)  pursuant to a program developed under Regulation T as promulgated by the Federal Reserve Board that, prior to the issuance of Common Stock, results in either the receipt of cash (or check) by the Company or the receipt of irrevocable instructions to pay the aggregate exercise price to the Company from the sales proceeds;
 
(iii)  by delivery to the Company (either by actual delivery or attestation) of shares of Common Stock;

11.

 
(v)  according to a deferred payment or similar arrangement with the Optionholder; provided, however, that interest shall compound at least annually and shall be charged at the minimum rate of interest necessary to avoid (i) the imputation of interest income to the Company and compensation income to the Optionholder under any applicable provisions of the Code, and (ii) the treatment of the Option as a variable award or classification of the Option as a liability award for financial accounting purposes; or
 
(vi)  in any other form of legal consideration that may be acceptable to the Board.
 
(e)  Transferability of Options. The Board may, in its sole discretion, impose such limitations on the transferability of Options as the Board shall determine. In the absence of such a determination by the Board to the contrary, the following restrictions on the transferability of Options shall apply:

(ii)  Domestic Relations Orders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Option may be transferred pursuant to a domestic relations order; provided, however, that if an Option is an Incentive Stock Option, such Option shall be deemed to be a Nonstatutory Stock Option as a result of such transfer.
 
(iii)  Beneficiary Designation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Optionholder may, by delivering written notice to the Company, in a form provided by or otherwise satisfactory to the Company, designate a third party who, in the event of the death of the Optionholder, shall thereafter be entitled to exercise the Option. In the absence of such a designation, the executor or administrator of the Optionholder’s estate shall be entitled to exercise the Option.
 
(f)  Vesting of Options Generally. The total number of shares of Common Stock subject to an Option may vest and therefore become exercisable in periodic installments that may or may not be equal. The Option may be subject to such other terms and conditions on the time or times when it may or may not be exercised (which may be based on performance or other criteria) as the Board may deem appropriate. The vesting provisions of individual Options may vary. The provisions of this Section 6(f) are subject to any Option provisions governing the minimum number of shares of Common Stock as to which an Option may be exercised.
 
 
12.

 
(g)  Minimum Vesting. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6(f), to the extent that the Company is subject to the following restrictions on vesting under Section 260.140.41(f) at the time of the grant of the Option, then:
 
(i)  Options granted to an Employee who is not an Officer, Director or Consultant shall provide for vesting of the total number of shares of Common Stock at a rate of at least twenty percent (20%) per year over five (5) years from the date the Option was granted, subject to reasonable conditions such as continued employment; and

If, after termination of Continuous Service, the Optionholder does not exercise his or her Option within the time specified herein or in the Option Agreement (as applicable), the Option shall terminate.
 
(i)  Extension of Termination Date. An Optionholder’s Option Agreement may provide that if the exercise of the Option following the termination of the Optionholder’s Continuous Service (other than upon the Optionholder’s death or Disability) would be prohibited at any time solely because the issuance of shares of Common Stock would violate the registration requirements under the Securities Act, then the Option shall terminate on the earlier of (i) the expiration of a period of three (3) months after the termination of the Optionholder’s Continuous Service during which the exercise of the Option would not be in violation of such registration requirements, or (ii) the expiration of the term of the Option as set forth in the Option Agreement.
 
(j)  Disability of Optionholder. In the event that an Optionholder’s Continuous Service terminates as a result of the Optionholder’s Disability, the Optionholder may exercise his or her Option (to the extent that the Optionholder was entitled to exercise such Option as of the date of termination of Continuous Service), but only within such period of time ending on the earlier of (i) the date twelve (12) months following such termination of Continuous Service (or such longer or shorter period specified in the Option Agreement, which period, to the extent that the Company is subject to Section 260.140.41 at the time the Option is granted, shall not be less than six (6) months), or (ii) the expiration of the term of the Option as set forth in the Option Agreement. If, after termination of Continuous Service, the Optionholder does not exercise his or her Option within the time specified herein or in the Option Agreement (as applicable), the Option shall terminate.
 
 
13.

 
(k)  Death of Optionholder. In the event that (i) an Optionholder’s Continuous Service terminates as a result of the Optionholder’s death, or (ii) the Optionholder dies within the period (if any) specified in the Option Agreement after the termination of the Optionholder’s Continuous Service for a reason other than death, then the Option may be exercised (to the extent the Optionholder was entitled to exercise such Option as of the date of death) by the Optionholder’s estate, by a person who acquired the right to exercise the Option by bequest or inheritance or by a person designated to exercise the option upon the Optionholder’s death pursuant to Section 6(e)(iii), but only within the period ending on the earlier of (i) the date eighteen (18) months following the date of death (or such longer or shorter period specified in the Option Agreement, which period, to the extent that the Company is subject to Section 260.140.41 at the time the Option is granted, shall not be less than six (6) months), or (ii) the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Option Agreement. If, after the Optionholder’s death, the Option is not exercised within the time specified herein or in the Option Agreement (as applicable), the Option shall terminate.
 
(l)  Early Exercise. The Option may include a provision whereby the Optionholder may elect at any time before the Optionholder’s Continuous Service terminates to exercise the Option as to any part or all of the shares of Common Stock subject to the Option prior to the full vesting of the Option. Subject to the “Repurchase Limitation” in Section 9(h), any unvested shares of Common Stock so purchased may be subject to a repurchase option in favor of the Company or to any other restriction the Board determines to be appropriate. Provided that the “Repurchase Limitation” in Section 9(h) is not violated, the Company will not exercise its repurchase option until at least six (6) months (or such longer or shorter period of time necessary to avoid a charge to earnings for financial accounting purposes) have elapsed following exercise of the Option unless the Board otherwise specifically provides in the Option.
 
7.  STOCK BONUS AWARD PROVISIONS.

At the Board’s election, shares of Common Stock may be (i) held in book entry form subject to the Company’s instructions until any restrictions relating to the Stock Bonus Award lapse; or (ii) evidenced by a certificate, which certificate shall be held in such form and manner as determined by the Board. The terms and conditions of Stock Bonus Award Agreements may change from time to time, and the terms and conditions of separate Stock Bonus Award Agreements need not be identical; provided, however, that each Stock Bonus Award Agreement shall include (through incorporation of provisions hereof by reference in the agreement or otherwise) the substance of each of the following provisions:
 
(a)  Consideration. A Stock Bonus Award may be awarded in consideration for (i) past or future services rendered to the Company or an Affiliate, or (ii) any other form of legal consideration that may be acceptable to the Board in its sole discretion and permissible under applicable law.

(e)  Investment Assurances. The Company may require a Participant, as a condition of exercising or acquiring Common Stock under any Stock Award, (i) to give written assurances satisfactory to the Company as to the Participant’s knowledge and experience in financial and business matters and/or to employ a purchaser representative reasonably satisfactory to the Company who is knowledgeable and experienced in financial and business matters and that he or she is capable of evaluating, alone or together with the purchaser representative, the merits and risks of exercising the Stock Award; and (ii) to give written assurances satisfactory to the Company stating that the Participant is acquiring Common Stock subject to the Stock Award for the Participant’s own account and not with any present intention of selling or otherwise distributing the Common Stock.

The terms of any repurchase option shall be specified in the Stock Award, and the repurchase price may be either the Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock on the date of termination of Continuous Service or the lower of (i) the Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock on the date of repurchase or (ii) their original purchase price. To the extent that the Company is subject to Section 260.140.41 and Section 260.140.42 at the time a Stock Award is made, any repurchase option contained in a Stock Award granted to a person who is not an Officer, Director or Consultant shall be upon the terms described below:
 
(i)  Fair Market Value. If the repurchase option gives the Company the right to repurchase the shares of Common Stock upon termination of Continuous Service at not less than the Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock to be purchased on the date of termination of Continuous Service, then (i) the right to repurchase shall be exercised for cash or cancellation of purchase money indebtedness for the shares of Common Stock within ninety (90) days of termination of Continuous Service (or in the case of shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise of Stock Awards after such date of termination, within ninety (90) days after the date of the exercise) or such longer period as may be agreed to by the Company and the Participant, and (ii) the right terminates when the shares of Common Stock become publicly traded.
 
(ii)  Original Purchase Price. If the repurchase option gives the Company the right to repurchase the shares of Common Stock upon termination of Continuous Service at the lower of (i) the Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock on the date of repurchase, or (ii) their original purchase price, then (x) the right to repurchase at the original purchase price shall lapse at the rate of at least twenty percent (20%) of the shares of Common Stock per year over five (5) years from the date the Stock Award is granted (without respect to the date the Stock Award was exercised or became exercisable) and (y) the right to repurchase shall be exercised for cash or cancellation of purchase money indebtedness for the shares of Common Stock within ninety (90) days of termination of Continuous Service (or in the case of shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise of Options after such date of termination, within ninety (90) days after the date of the exercise) or such longer period as may be agreed to by the Company and the Participant.
 
(i)  Electronic Delivery. Any reference herein to a “written” agreement or document shall include any agreement or document delivered electronically or posted on the Company’s intranet.
 
10.  ADJUSTMENTS UPON CHANGES IN COMMON STOCK; CORPORATE TRANSACTIONS.
 
(a)  Capitalization Adjustments. If any change is made in, or other events occur with respect to, the Common Stock subject to the Plan or subject to any Stock Award without the receipt of consideration by the Company (through merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization, reincorporation, stock dividend, dividend in property other than cash, stock split, liquidating dividend, combination of shares, exchange of shares, change in corporate structure or other transaction not involving the receipt of consideration by the Company (each a “Capitalization Adjustment”)), the Board shall appropriately adjust: (i) the class(es) and maximum number of securities subject to the Plan pursuant to Section 4(a), (ii) the class(es) and maximum number of securities that may be issued pursuant to the exercise of Incentive Stock Options pursuant to Section 4(c), (iii) the class(es) and maximum number of securities that may be awarded to any person pursuant to Section 5(c), and (iv) the class(es) and number of securities and price per share of stock subject to outstanding Stock Awards. The Board shall make such adjustments, and its determination shall be final, binding and conclusive. (Notwithstanding the foregoing, the conversion of any convertible securities of the Company shall not be treated as a transaction “without receipt of consideration” by the Company.) 
 
 
17.

 
(b)  Dissolution or Liquidation. In the event of a dissolution or liquidation of the Company, all outstanding Stock Awards (other than Stock Awards consisting of vested and outstanding shares of Common Stock not subject to the Company’s right of repurchase) shall terminate immediately prior to the completion of such dissolution or liquidation, and the shares of Common Stock subject to the Company’s repurchase option may be repurchased by the Company notwithstanding the fact that the holder of such Stock Award is providing Continuous Service, provided, however, that the Board may, in its sole discretion, cause some or all Stock Awards to become fully vested, exercisable and/or no longer subject to repurchase or forfeiture (to the extent such Stock Awards have not previously expired or terminated) before the dissolution or liquidation is completed but contingent on its completion.
 
(c)  Corporate Transaction. The following provisions shall apply to Stock Awards in the event of a Corporate Transaction unless otherwise provided in a written agreement between the Company or any Affiliate and the holder of the Stock Award:
 
(i)  Stock Awards May Be Assumed. In the event of a Corporate Transaction, any surviving corporation or acquiring corporation (or the surviving or acquiring corporation’s parent company) may assume or continue any or all Stock Awards outstanding under the Plan or may substitute similar stock awards for Stock Awards outstanding under the Plan (including but not limited to, awards to acquire the same consideration paid to the stockholders of the Company pursuant to the Corporate Transaction), and any reacquisition or repurchase rights held by the Company in respect of Common Stock issued pursuant to Stock Awards may be assigned by the Company to the successor of the Company (or the successor’s parent company, if any), in connection with such Corporate Transaction. A surviving corporation or acquiring corporation may choose to assume or continue only a portion of a Stock Award or substitute a similar stock award for only a portion of a Stock Award. The terms of any assumption, continuation or substitution shall be set by the Board in accordance with the provisions of Section 3(b).
 
(ii)  Stock Awards Held by Current Participants. In the event of a Corporate Transaction in which the surviving corporation or acquiring corporation (or its parent company) does not assume or continue any or all outstanding Stock Awards or substitute similar stock awards for such outstanding Stock Awards, then with respect to Stock Awards that have not been assumed, continued or substituted and that are held by Participants whose Continuous Service has not terminated prior to the effective time of the Corporate Transaction (referred to as the “Current Participants”), the vesting of such Stock Awards (and, if applicable, the time at which such Stock Awards may be exercised) shall (contingent upon the effectiveness of the Corporate Transaction) be accelerated in full to a date prior to the effective time of such Corporate Transaction as the Board shall determine (or, if the Board shall not determine such a date, to the date that is five (5) days prior to the effective time of the Corporate Transaction), and such Stock Awards shall terminate if not exercised (if applicable) at or prior to the effective time of the Corporate Transaction, and any reacquisition or repurchase rights held by the Company with respect to such Stock Awards shall lapse (contingent upon the effectiveness of the Corporate Transaction).
 
 
18.

 
(iii)  Stock Awards Held by Former Participants. In the event of a Corporate Transaction in which the surviving corporation or acquiring corporation (or its parent company) does not assume or continue any or all outstanding Stock Awards or substitute similar stock awards for such outstanding Stock Awards, then with respect to Stock Awards that have not been assumed, continued or substituted and that are held by persons other than Current Participants, the vesting of such Stock Awards (and, if applicable, the time at which such Stock Award may be exercised) shall not be accelerated and such Stock Awards (other than a Stock Award consisting of vested and outstanding shares of Common Stock not subject to the Company’s right of repurchase) shall terminate if not exercised (if applicable) prior to the effective time of the Corporate Transaction; provided, however, that any reacquisition or repurchase rights held by the Company with respect to such Stock Awards shall not terminate and may continue to be exercised notwithstanding the Corporate Transaction.
 
(iv)  Payment for Stock Awards in Lieu of Exercise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event a Stock Award will terminate if not exercised prior to the effective time of a Corporate Transaction, the Board may provide, in its sole discretion, that the holder of such Stock Award may not exercise such Stock Award but will receive a payment, in such form as may be determined by the Board, equal in value to the excess, if any, of (i) the value of the property the holder of the Stock Award would have received upon the exercise of the Stock Award, over (ii) any exercise price payable by such holder in connection with such exercise.
 
(d)  Change in Control. A Stock Award may be subject to additional acceleration of vesting and exercisability upon or after a Change in Control as may be provided in the Stock Award Agreement for such Stock Award or as may be provided in any other written agreement between the Company or any Affiliate and the Participant. A Stock Award may vest as to all or any portion of the shares subject to the Stock Award (i) immediately upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, whether or not such Stock Award is assumed, continued, or substituted by a surviving or acquiring entity in the Change in Control, or (ii) in the event a Participant’s Continuous Service is terminated, actually or constructively, within a designated period following the occurrence of a Change in Control. In the absence of such provisions, no such acceleration shall occur.
 
11.  AMENDMENT OF THE PLAN AND STOCK AWARDS.
 
(a)  Amendment of Plan. Subject to the limitations, if any, of applicable law, the Board at any time, and from time to time, may amend the Plan. However, except as provided in Section 10(a) relating to Capitalization Adjustments, no amendment shall be effective unless approved by the stockholders of the Company to the extent stockholder approval is necessary to satisfy applicable law.

If the Plan Administrator deems it appropriate to do so, Options may be sold or otherwise transferred by Neonode to its Swedish Subsidiaries for sale or resale by such Swedish Subsidiaries to Optionees who are Swedish Participants. Optionees will comprise, in general, employees who contribute or who are expected to contribute to the management, direction, and overall success of the Company.
 

SECTION VI. TERMS OF OPTIONS
 
6.01.        All Options shall be evidenced by written agreements (in such form as may be prescribed by the Plan Administrator from time to time) executed by the Company and the Optionee. Such Options shall be subject to the applicable provisions of the Plan and shall contain such provisions as are required by the Plan and any other provisions the Plan Administrator may prescribe. All agreements evidencing Options shall specify the total number of shares exercisable pursuant to each Option sold, the Exercise Price, the Exercise Period and the Termination Date. An Option will become exercisable at such time or times, and on such conditions, as the Plan Administrator may specify. The Plan Administrator may at any time and from time to time accelerate the time at which all or any part of the Option may be exercised.
 
6.02.       The written agreement referred to in Section 6.01 also shall provide that (a) unless the Options or shares of Common Stock acquired on the exercise of the Option are then currently registered under the Securities Act, if counsel to Neonode advises that the same is required, prior to execution of an Option or delivery of the shares acquired upon the exercise of the Option the Optionee shall agree to hold such Option or shares for investment only and not with a view to resale or distribution thereof to the public and make such other such representations or agreements as counsel for the Neonode may consider appropriate to avoid violation of the Securities Act, and such Optionee shall deliver to Neonode a letter to that effect in a form specified by counsel to Neonode together with any additional documents specified by counsel (and Neonode may require that the Option or the certificates evidencing such Common Stock bear an appropriate legend restricting transfer), (b) in the event that sale of Options or issuance of shares of Common Stock on exercise of the Option is subject to laws, rules, and/or regulations of a jurisdiction other than the United States of America, the Optionee simultaneously shall comply with the requirements of counsel to Neonode to satisfy the same, (c) if an Optionee who is a Swedish Participant desires to sell his Options, he must notify Neonode and Neonode shall have the right to acquire it for the lesser of (i) the Market Value of the Option at the date of the notice, or if there is no Market Value, the price shall be the Optionee’s acquisition cost plus interest at the prime rate in New York City in effect from time to time from the date of acquisition to the date of payment by the Company and (ii) the proposed sale price for such Options, and (d) if on his Date of Employment Termination an Optionee who is a Swedish Participant owns Options, the Company shall have the right to purchase all such Options for the Market Value of the Options on the Date of Employment Termination or if there is no Market Value, the price shall be the Optionee’s acquisition cost plus interest at the prime rate in New York City in effect from time to time from the date of acquisition to the date of payment by the Company.
 
6.03.        The Exercise Price for an Option shall be a price to be determined by the Plan Administrator that is equal to or greater than the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the date the Option is sold to a Swedish Participant or granted to a Non-Swedish Participant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Option may be granted with an Exercise Price lower than 100% of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock subject to the Option if such Option is granted pursuant to an assumption or substitution for another option in a manner consistent with the provisions of Section 424(a) of the Code. In no case may the Exercise Price paid for Common Stock which is part of an original issue of authorized Common Stock be less than the par value per share of the Common Stock.
 

6.04.        The latest date on which an Option may be exercised will be the tenth anniversary of the day immediately preceding the date the Option was granted, or such earlier date as may have been specified by the Plan Administrator at the time the Option was granted.
 
6.05.        An Option or portion thereof shall be exercised by delivery of a written notice of exercise to Neonode and payment of the full price of the shares being purchased pursuant to the Option. An Optionee may exercise an Option with respect to less than the full number of shares for which the Option may then be exercised, but an Optionee must exercise the Option in full shares of Common Stock. Payment of the price of Common Stock purchased pursuant to an Option or portion thereof shall be made in United States dollars in cash or by check, bank draft, or money order payable to the order of Neonode, by wire transfer to an account designated by Neonode, or by such other payment method as the Plan Administrator, in its discretion, may authorize. The Plan Administrator may permit an Optionee to pay the Exercise Price by authorizing a third party to sell shares of Common Stock acquired upon exercise of the Option on condition that such third party remit to the Company a sufficient portion of the sale proceeds to pay the entire Exercise Price.
 
6.06.        The Company, in its discretion, may require an Optionee to pay any taxes or other statutory deductions for which the Company is obligated to withhold and the Optionee is liable based upon the sale or purchase of an Option or exercise of the Option. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Company shall have no duty or obligation to minimize the tax consequences of an Option to the holder of such Option.
 
6.07.        Unless otherwise permitted by the Plan Administrator, no Option issued to a Non-Swedish Participant may be transferred other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and during a Non-Swedish Participant’s lifetime an Option may be exercised only by the Non-Swedish Participant (or in the event of the Non-Swedish Participant’s incapacity, the person or persons legally appointed to act on the Non-Swedish Participant’s behalf). An option sold to a Swedish Participant may be exercised by such Swedish Participant or by his transferee.
 
6.08.        Any Optionee who was an employee or director of the Company at the time the Option was exercised who disposes of shares of Common Stock acquired upon the exercise of an Option either (a) within two years after the date of the sale of the Option under which the Common Stock was acquired or (b) within one year after the transfer of such shares to the Optionee, shall notify Neonode of such disposition and of the amount realized upon such disposition.
 
SECTION VII. EVENTS AFFECTING OUTSTANDING OPTIONS
 
7.01.        If a Non-Swedish Participant dies, all Options held by the Non-Swedish Participant immediately prior to death, to the extent then exercisable, may be exercised by the Non-Swedish Participant’s executor or administrator or the person or persons to whom the Option is transferred by will or the applicable laws of descent and distribution, at any time within the one year period ending with the first anniversary of the Non-Swedish Participant’s death (or such shorter or longer period as the Plan Administrator may determine), and shall thereupon terminate. In no event, however, shall an Option remain exercisable beyond the latest date on which it could have been exercised without regard to this Section 7.01. Except as otherwise determined by the Plan Administrator, all Options held by a Non-Swedish Participant immediately prior to death that are not then exercisable shall terminate at death.
 

7.02.        If a Non-Swedish Participant who is an employee ceases to be an employee for any reason other than death, or if there is a termination (other than by reason of death) of the directorship in respect of which a non-employee Non-Swedish Participant was granted an Option hereunder (such termination of the employment or other relationship being hereinafter referred to as a “Status Change”), except as otherwise determined by the Plan Administrator, all Options held by the Non-Swedish Participant that were not exercisable immediately prior to the Status Change shall terminate at the time of the Status Change. Any Options that were exercisable immediately prior to the Status Change will continue to be exercisable for a period of three months (or such longer period as the Plan Administrator may determine), and shall thereupon terminate, unless the Option provides by its terms for immediate termination in the event of a Status Change (unless otherwise determined by the Plan Administrator) or unless the Status Change results from a discharge for Cause which in the opinion of the Plan Administrator casts such discredit on the Non-Swedish Participant as to justify immediate termination of the Option (unless otherwise determined by the Plan Administrator). In no event, however, shall an Option remain exercisable beyond the latest date on which it could have been exercised without regard to this Section 7.02. For purposes of this paragraph, in the case of a Non-Swedish Participant who is an employee, a Status Change shall not be deemed to have resulted by reason of (i) a sick leave or other bona fide leave of absence approved for purposes of the Plan by the Plan Administrator, so long as the employee’s right to reemployment is guaranteed either by statute or by contract, or (ii) a transfer of employment between the Neonode and a Subsidiary or between Subsidiaries, or to the employment of a corporation (or a parent or Subsidiary corporation of such corporation) issuing or assuming an option in a transaction to which Section 424(a) of the Code applies.
 
7.03.        Except as otherwise provided by the Plan Administrator at the time of grant, in the event of a consolidation or merger in which the Neonode is not the surviving corporation or which results in the acquisition of substantially all the Neonode’s outstanding Stock by a single person or entity or by a group of persons and/or entities acting in concert, or in the event of the sale or transfer of substantially all the Company’s assets or a dissolution or liquidation of Neonode (a “Covered Transaction”), the following rules shall apply:
 
(a) Subject to paragraph (b) below, all outstanding Options requiring exercise will cease to be exercisable, and all other Options to the extent not fully vested (including Options subject to conditions not yet satisfied or determined) will be forfeited, as of the effective time of the covered transaction, provided that the Plan Administrator may in its sole discretion, on or prior to the effective date of the covered transaction, (1) make any outstanding Option exercisable in full, and (2) remove any performance or other conditions or restrictions on any Option.; or
 
(b) With respect to an outstanding Option held by a participant who, following the Covered Transaction, will be employed by or otherwise providing services to a corporation which is a surviving or acquiring corporation in the Covered Transaction or an affiliate of such a corporation, the Plan Administrator may at or prior to the effective time of the Covered Transaction, in its sole discretion and in lieu of the action described in paragraph (a) above, arrange to have such surviving or acquiring corporation or affiliate assume any Option held by such participant outstanding hereunder or grant a replacement award which, in the judgment of the Plan Administrator, is substantially equivalent to any Option being replaced.
 

7.04.       (a) In the event of a stock dividend, stock split or combination of shares, recapitalization or other change in Neonode’s capitalization, or other distribution to common stockholders other than normal cash dividends, after the effective date of the Plan, the Plan Administrator will make any appropriate adjustments to the maximum number of shares that may be delivered under the Plan under Section 4.01 above.
 
(b) In any event referred to in paragraph (a) above, the Plan Administrator will also make any appropriate adjustments to the number and kind of shares of stock or securities subject to Options then outstanding or subsequently granted, any exercise prices relating to Options and any other provision of Options affected by such change. The Plan Administrator may also make such adjustments to take into account material changes in law or in accounting practices or principles, mergers, consolidations, acquisitions, dispositions or similar corporate transactions, or any other event, if it is determined by the Plan Administrator that adjustments are appropriate to avoid distortion in the operation of the Plan.
 
SECTION VIII. AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION OF PLAN
 
8.01.       The Board may at any time, or from time to time, suspend or terminate the Plan in whole or in part or amend it in such respects as the Board may deem appropriate, provided that no such amendment shall be made which would, without approval of the stockholders of Neonode:
 
(a) Materially modify the eligibility requirements for purchasing or receiving grants of Options;
 
(b) Increase the total number of shares of Common Stock which may be issued pursuant to the exercise of Options, except as provided in Section VII; or
 
(c) Materially increase the benefits available under the Plan.
 
8.02.        No amendment, suspension, or termination of this Plan, without the Optionee’s consent, shall alter or impair any of the rights or obligations under any Option theretofore sold or granted to an Optionee under the Plan.
 
SECTION IX. GOVERNMENT AND OTHER REGULATIONS
 
9.01.        The obligation of Neonode to sell or grant Options and to issue, or transfer and deliver, shares when Options are exercised under the Plan shall be subject to satisfaction of all conditions contained in this Plan and the written agreement evidencing such Options, and to all applicable laws, regulations, rules, orders, and approvals which shall then be in effect and required by governmental entities and/or any national securities exchange on which Common Stock may be traded or listed and, in furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, if the outstanding Common Stock is at the time listed on any stock exchange or The Nasdaq National Market, until the shares to be delivered have been listed or authorized to be listed on such exchange or market upon official notice of notice of issuance.
 

SECTION X. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
 
10.01.     The right of the Company to terminate (whether by dismissal, discharge, retirement, or otherwise) the Optionee’s employment at any time at will or as otherwise provided by any agreement between the Company and the Optionee is specifically reserved. Except as specifically provided by the Plan Administrator in any particular case, the loss of existing or potential profit in Options granted under the Plan will not constitute an element of damages in the event of termination of an employment, service or similar relationship even if the termination is in violation of an obligation of the Company to the Optionee. No holder of an Option shall have any of the rights of a stockholder with respect to the shares subject to each Option except to the extent that, and until, such shares shall have been issued upon the exercise of each Option.
 
10.02.      All expenses of administering the Plan shall be borne by Neonode.
 
10.03.      Payments received from Optionees upon the sale and exercise of Options shall be used for the general corporate purposes of Neonode.
 
10.04.      In addition to such other rights of indemnification as they may have as members of the Board or the Committee, the members of the Board and the Committee shall be indemnified by Neonode against all costs and expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with any action, suit, or proceeding to which they or any of them may be party by reason of any action taken or failure to act under or in connection with the Plan or any Option sold under the Plan, and against all amounts paid by them in settlement thereof (provided such settlement is approved by independent legal counsel selected by Neonode) or paid by them in satisfaction of a judgment in any such action, suit, or proceeding, except a judgment based upon a finding of willful misconduct or bad faith, provided that upon the institution of any such action, suit, or proceeding, a Committee or Board member, in writing, shall give Neonode notice thereof and an opportunity, at its own expense, to handle and defend the same before such Board or Committee member undertakes to handle and defend it on such member’s own behalf.
 
10.05.      To the extent that the Plan Administrator determines that any Option granted under the Plan is subject to Section 409A of the Code, the written instruments evidencing such Option shall incorporate the terms and conditions necessary to avoid the consequences described in Section 409A(a)(1) of the Code. To the extent applicable, such written instruments shall be interpreted in accordance with Section 409A of the Code and Department of Treasury regulations and other interpretive guidance issued thereunder, including without limitation any such regulations or other guidance that may be issued or amended after the grant of any Option. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, in the event that following any grant the Plan Administrator determines that any Option may be subject to Section 409A of the Code and related Department of Treasury guidance (including such Department of Treasury guidance as may be issued after such grant), the Plan Administrator may adopt such amendments to the Plan and the applicable written instruments evidencing such Option or adopt other policies and procedures (including amendments, policies and procedures with retroactive effect), or take any other actions, that the Plan Administrator determines are necessary or appropriate to (1) exempt the Option from Section 409A of the Code and/or preserve the intended tax treatment of the benefits provided with respect to the Option, or (2) comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and related department of Treasury guidance.
 

10.06.      Neither adoption of the Plan nor the grant of Options to an Optionee will affect the Company’s right to grant to such Optionee awards that are not subject to the Plan, to issue to such Optionee Common Stock as a bonus or otherwise, or to adopt other plans or arrangements under which Common Stock may be issued to employees.
 
SECTION XI. SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL AND EFFECTIVE DATE
 
11.01.     The Plan shall become effective upon adoption by the Board. However, if the Plan is disapproved within one year after the Plan is adopted by the Board by the vote at a meeting of the stockholders of Neonode at which a quorum is present by the holders of a majority of the shares voting at that meeting, the Plan shall terminate at the time of that meeting of stockholders or, if no such meeting is held, after the passage of one year from the date the Plan was adopted by the Board, and all Options sold to Swedish Participants shall be reacquired by the Company at the Fair Market Value as at such date. Options may not be sold or granted under the Plan after the day before the 10th anniversary of adoption by the Board.
