STOCK OPTION PLAN
ARTICLE
I
PURPOSE
The
purpose of this Buck-A-Roo$ Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”) is to benefit the
shareholders of Buck-A-Roo$ Holding Corporation, a Nevada corporation (the
“Company”), by assisting the Company to attract, retain and provide incentives
to Employees and Directors of, and non-employee Consultants to, the Company
and
its Affiliates, and to align the interests of such Employees, Directors and
Consultants with those of the Company’s shareholders. Accordingly, the Plan
provides for the granting of Incentive Stock Options and Non-Qualified Stock
Options, as provided herein, as may be best suited to the circumstances of
the
particular Employee, Director or Consultant.
ARTICLE
II
DEFINITIONS
The
following capitalized words and phrases, when used in the text of this document,
shall have the meanings set forth below. Except where otherwise clearly
indicated by the context, words in the masculine gender include the feminine
gender, and vice versa, and, wherever any words are used in the singular form,
they shall be construed as if they were also used in the plural form in all
cases where the plural form would so apply, and vice versa. Any term used herein
without an initial capital letter that is used in a provision of the Code or
the
Exchange Act with which the Plan must comply to meet the requirements of such
provision of the Code or the Exchange Act shall be interpreted as having the
meaning used in such provision of the Code or Exchange Act, if necessary for
the
Plan to comply with such provision. Where a definition includes rules regarding
the definition, those rules shall apply.
2.1
|
“Affiliate”
shall mean any person or entity which, at the time of reference,
directly,
or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled
by, or is under common control with, the
Company.
|
2.2
|
“Award”
shall mean, individually or collectively, any
Option.
|
2.3
|
“Award
Agreement”
shall mean a written agreement between the Company and the Holder
with
respect to an Award, each of which shall constitute a part of the
Plan.
|
2.4
|
“Board”
shall mean the Board of Directors of the
Company.
|
2.5
|
“Cause”
shall have the meaning set forth in an Award Agreement or, if not
specifically defined in the Award Agreement, shall mean, with respect
to
an Employee, the Employee’s (a) failure to substantially perform his
duties in connection with his employment by the Company, as determined
by
the Board of Directors in its sole discretion, (b) willful engagement
in conduct which is injurious to the business or reputation of the
Company, as determined by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion,
(c) violation of any Company policy, as determined by the Board of
Directors in its sole discretion, or (d) felony
conviction.
|
2.6
|
“Change
of Control”
shall mean one or more of the
following:
|
(a)
|
A
change in the ownership of the Company.
A
change in the ownership of the Company occurs on the date that any
one
person, or more than one person acting as a group (as determined
under
Subsection (d),
a
“Group”),
acquires ownership of stock of the Company that, together with stock
held
by such person or Group, constitutes more than fifty percent (50%)
of the
total fair market value or total voting power of the stock of the
Company.
However, if any one person or a Group is considered to own more than
fifty
percent (50%) of the total fair market value or total voting power
of the
stock of the Company, the acquisition of additional stock by the
same
person or persons is not considered to cause a change in the ownership
of
the Company (or to cause a change in the effective control of the
Company
(within the meaning of Subsection (b),
below)). An increase in the percentage of stock owned by any one
person,
or a Group, as a result of a transaction in which the Company acquires
its
stock in exchange for property will be treated as an acquisition
of stock
for purposes of this Section. This Subsection (a)
applies only when there is a transfer of stock of the Company (or
issuance
of stock of the Company) and stock in the Company remains outstanding
after the transaction (see, Subsection (c)
for rules regarding the transfer of assets of the
Company).
|
(b)
|
A
change in the effective control of the Company.
|
(1)
|
Notwithstanding
that the Company has not undergone a change in ownership, as described
in
Subsection (a),
above, a change in the effective control of the Company occurs on
either
of the following dates:
|
(A)
|
The
date any one person, or a Group, acquires (or has acquired during
the
12-month period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition
by such
person or persons) ownership of stock of the Company possessing thirty
percent (30%) or more of the total voting power of the stock of the
Company; or
|
(B)
|
The
date a majority of members of the Company’s board of directors is replaced
during any 12-month period by directors whose appointment or election
is
not endorsed by a majority of the members of the Company’s board of
directors before the date of the appointment or election, provided
that
for purposes of this paragraph (B),
the term Company refers solely to (i) the corporation for whom a
Participant is performing services at the time of the Change in Control
event, (ii) the corporation that is liable for the payment of the
Deferred
Compensation (or all corporations liable for the payment if more
than one
corporation is liable) to Participants, or (iii) a corporation that
is a
majority shareholder of a corporation identified in paragraph (i)
or (ii),
or any corporation in a chain of corporations in which each corporation
is
a majority shareholder of another corporation in the chain, ending
in a
corporation identified in paragraph (i) or
(ii).
|
In
the
absence of an event described in paragraph (A)
or
(B),
a
change in the effective control of the Company will not have
occurred.
2
(2)
|
Acquisition
of additional control.
If any one person, or a Group, is considered to effectively control
the
Company (within the meaning of this Subsection (b)),
the acquisition of additional control of the Company by the same
person or
persons is not considered to cause a change in the effective control
of
the Company (or to cause a change in the ownership of the Company
within
the meaning of Subsection (a)).
|
(c)
|
A
change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the Company’s
assets.
|
(1)
|
A
change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the Company’s assets
occurs on the date that any one person, or a Group, acquires (or
has
acquired during the 12-month period ending on the date of the most
recent
acquisition by such person or persons) assets from the Company that
have a
total “gross fair market value” equal to or more than forty percent (40%)
of the total “gross fair market value” of all of the assets of the Company
immediately before such acquisition or acquisitions. For this purpose,
“gross fair market value” means the value of the assets of the Company, or
the value of the assets being disposed of, determined without regard
to
any liabilities associated with such assets.
|
(2)
|
Notwithstanding
paragraph (1), there is no Change in Control event under this Subsection
(c) when there is a transfer to an entity that is controlled by the
shareholders of the transferring corporation immediately after the
transfer, as provided in this paragraph (2).
A
transfer of assets by a corporation is not treated as a change in
the
ownership of such assets if the assets are transferred to:
|
(A)
|
A
shareholder of the Company (immediately before the asset transfer)
in
exchange for or with respect to its stock;
|
(B)
|
An
entity, fifty percent (50%) or more of the total value or voting
power of
which is owned, directly or indirectly, by the Company;
|
(C)
|
A
person, or a Group, that owns, directly or indirectly, fifty percent
(50%)
or more of the total value or voting power of all the outstanding
stock of
the Company; or
|
(D)
|
An
entity, at least fifty percent (50%) of the total value or voting
power of
which is owned, directly or indirectly, by a person described in
paragraph
(C).
|
For
purposes of this paragraph (2)
and
except as otherwise provided, a person’s status is determined immediately after
the transfer of the assets.
(d)
|
Persons
acting as a Group.
For purposes of the definition of “Change of Control,” persons will not be
considered to be acting as a Group solely because they purchase assets
of
the same corporation at the same time, or as a result of the same
public
offering. However, persons will be considered to be acting as a Group
if
they are owners of a corporation that enters into a merger, consolidation,
purchase or acquisition of assets, or similar business transaction
with
the corporation. If a person, including an entity shareholder, owns
stock
in both corporations that enter into a merger, consolidation, purchase
or
acquisition of stock, or similar transaction, such shareholder is
considered to be acting as a Group with other shareholders in a
corporation only to the extent of the ownership in that corporation
before
the transaction giving rise to the change and not with respect to
the
ownership interest in the other
corporation.

receive

of
Award shall be granted, the size of the Award and the number of shares

the
Committee shall not exercise its authority with respect to the Plan

connection with the exercise of Options to constitute “performance-based”
compensation for purposes of Section 162(m), including, but not limited to,
counting against such maximum number of shares, to the extent required under
Section 162(m), any shares subject to Options that are canceled or
repriced.

|
If
a Holder’s employment with, Director status with or Consultant status with

preserved if and to the extent determined by the Committee in its
sole
discretion.

the
period of time he is permitted to exercise Options under the provisions
of
the Plan (as set forth above in Sections 6.2,

and 6.4),
is unable to sell Common Stock because of the likelihood of a violation

provided, however, the Committee shall not exercise its discretion
under
this Section 6.5
with respect to any Award in any manner that would result in such
Award
being considered “nonqualified deferred compensation,” within the meaning
of Section 409A, so as to cause such Award or the Plan to become
subject
to the requirements of
Section 409A.

ARTICLE
VII
OPTION
TERMS
7.1
|
Option
Period.
The term of each Option shall be as specified in the Option Agreement;
provided, however, the term of each Incentive Stock Option shall
end no
later than the tenth (10th) anniversary of such Option’s date of grant.
|
7.2
|
Limitations
on Exercise of Option.
An Option shall be exercisable in whole or in such installments and
at
such times as specified in the Option
Agreement.
|
7.3
|
Special
Limitations on Incentive Stock Options.
|
(a)
|
To
the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined at the
time
the respective Incentive Stock Option is granted) of Common Stock
with
respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the
first
time by an individual during any calendar year under all plans of
the
Company and any parent corporation or subsidiary corporation thereof
(both
as defined in Section 424 of the Code) which provide for the grant
of
Incentive Stock Options exceeds One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000)
(or such other individual limit as may be in effect under the Code
on the
date of grant), such Incentive Stock Options shall be treated as
Non-Qualified Stock Options. The Committee shall determine, in accordance
with applicable provisions of the Code, Treasury Regulations and
other
administrative pronouncements, which of a Holder’s Options, which were
intended by the Committee to be Incentive Stock Options when granted
to
the Holder, will not constitute Incentive Stock Options because of
such
limitation and shall notify the Holder of-such determination as soon
as
practicable after such determination.
|
(b)
|
No
Incentive Stock Option shall be granted to an Employee if, at the
time the
Option is granted, such Employee is a Ten Percent Shareholder, unless
(1) at the time such Incentive Stock Option is granted the Option
price is at least one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market
Value
of the Common Stock subject to the Option, and (2) such Incentive
Stock
Option by its terms is not exercisable after the expiration of five
(5)
years from the date of grant.
|
7.4
|
Option
Agreement.
Each Option shall be evidenced by an Option Agreement in such form
and
containing such provisions not inconsistent with the provisions of
the
Plan as the Committee from time to time shall approve, including,
but not
limited to, provisions to qualify an Option as an Incentive Stock
Option.
In no event shall an Option be, or result in being, back-dated. An
Option
Agreement may provide for the payment of the Option price, in whole
or in
part, by the delivery of a number of shares of Common Stock (plus
cash if
necessary) having a Fair Market Value equal to such Option price.
Each
Option Agreement shall, solely to the extent inconsistent with the
provisions of Sections 6.2,
6.3
and 6.4,
as applicable, specify the effect of termination of employment, Director
status or Consultant status on the exercisability of the Option.
Moreover,
an Option Agreement may provide for a “cashless exercise” of the Option by
establishing procedures whereby the Holder, by a properly-executed
written
notice, directs (a) an immediate market sale or margin loan respecting
all
or a part of the shares of Common Stock to which he is entitled upon
exercise pursuant to an extension of credit by the Company to the
Holder
of the Option price, (b) the delivery of the shares of Common Stock
from
the Company directly to a brokerage firm and (c) the delivery of
the
Option price from sale or margin loan proceeds from the brokerage
firm
directly to the Company. An Option Agreement may also include provisions
relating to (a) subject to the provisions hereof, accelerated vesting
of
Options, (b) tax matters (including provisions covering any applicable
Employee wage withholding requirements and requiring additional “gross-up”
payments to Holders to meet any excise taxes or other additional
income
tax liability imposed as a result of a payment upon a Change of Control
resulting from the operation of the Plan or of such Option Agreement)
and
(c) any other matters not inconsistent with the terms and provisions
of
the Plan that the Committee shall in its sole discretion determine.
The
terms and conditions of the respective Option Agreements need not
be
identical. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the
contrary, an Option Agreement shall not contain any provision that
would
result in such Option being considered “nonqualified deferred
compensation,” within the meaning of Section 409A, so as to cause such
Option or the Plan to become subject to the requirements of Section
409A.
|
11
7.5
|
Option
Price and Payment.
The price at which a share of Common Stock may be purchased upon
exercise
of an Option shall be determined by the Committee, but such Option
price
(a) in the case of an Option that is an Incentive Stock Option or
that is
intended to constitute performance-based compensation within the
meaning
of Section 162(m), shall not be less than the Fair Market Value of a
share of Common Stock on the date such Option is granted and (b)
shall be
subject to adjustment as provided in Article
VIII.
The Option or portion thereof may be exercised by delivery of an
irrevocable notice of exercise to the Company, which notice shall
be in a
form acceptable to the Company. The Option price for the Option or
portion
thereof shall be paid in full in the manner prescribed by the Committee.
Separate stock certificates shall be issued by the Company for those
shares of Common Stock acquired pursuant to the exercise of an Incentive
Stock Option and for those shares of Common Stock acquired pursuant
to the
exercise of a Non-Qualified Stock
Option.
|
7.6
|
Shareholder
Rights and Privileges.
The Holder of an Option shall be entitled to all the privileges and
rights
of a shareholder of the Company solely with respect to such shares
of
Common Stock as have been purchased under the Option and for which
certificates of stock have been registered in the Holder’s
name.
|
7.7
|
Options
and Rights in Substitution for Stock Options Granted by Other
Corporations.
Options may be granted under the Plan from time to time in substitution
for stock options held by individuals employed by entities who become
Employees as a result of a merger or consolidation of the employing
entity
with the Company or any Affiliate, or the acquisition by the Company
or an
Affiliate of the assets of the employing entity, or the acquisition
by the
Company or an Affiliate of stock of the employing entity with the
result
that such employing entity becomes an Affiliate; provided, however,
such
grant is not made in a manner that would result in the Option being
considered “nonqualified deferred compensation,” within the meaning of
Section 409A, so as to cause such Option or the Plan to become subject
to
the requirements of Section 409A.

ARTICLE
VIII
RECAPITALIZATION
OR REORGANIZATION
8.1
|
Adjustments
to Common Stock.
The shares with respect to which Awards may be granted are shares
of
Common Stock as presently constituted; provided, however, that if,
and
whenever, prior to the expiration or distribution to the Holder of
an
Award theretofore granted, the Company shall effect a subdivision
or
consolidation of shares of Common Stock or the payment of a stock
dividend
on Common Stock without receipt of consideration by the Company,
the
number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which such Award
may
thereafter be exercised or satisfied, as applicable, (a) in the event
of
an increase in the number of outstanding shares, shall be proportionately
increased, and the purchase price per share shall be proportionately
reduced, and (b) in the event of a reduction in the number of
outstanding shares, shall be proportionately reduced, and the purchase
price per share shall be proportionately increased. Notwithstanding
the
foregoing, any such adjustment made with respect to an Award which
is an
Incentive Stock Option shall comply with the requirements of Section
424(a) of the Code, and in no event shall any such adjustment be
made
which would render any Incentive Stock Option granted under the Plan
to be
other than an “incentive stock option” for purposes of Section 422 of the
Code.
|
8.2
|
Recapitalization.
If the Company recapitalizes or otherwise changes its capital structure,
thereafter upon any exercise or satisfaction, as applicable, of a
previously granted Award, the Holder shall be entitled to receive
(or
entitled to purchase, if applicable) under such Award, in lieu of
the
number of shares of Common Stock then covered by such Award, the
number
and class of shares of stock and securities to which the Holder would
have
been entitled pursuant to the terms of the recapitalization if,
immediately prior to such recapitalization, the Holder had been the
holder
of record of the number of shares of Common Stock then covered by
such
Award.
|
8.3
|
Change
of Control.
Except to the extent otherwise provided in the applicable Award Agreement,
in the event of the occurrence of a Change of Control, and within
one (1)
year following the Change of Control (a) an Employee’s employment is
terminated by the Company without Cause or by the Employee with Good
Reason or (b) a Director is removed from the Board without the approving
vote of a majority of the directors in office immediately prior to
the
Change of Control, outstanding Awards of the Employee or Director,
as the
case may be, shall immediately vest and become exercisable and/or
required
employment or Board membership periods with the Company or an Affiliate
and/or performance goals and/or objectives shall be deemed to have
been
fully satisfied, as applicable. The Committee, in its discretion
by
unanimous action, may determine that upon the occurrence of a Change
of
Control, each Award outstanding hereunder shall terminate within
a
specified number of days after notice to the Holder, and such Holder
shall
receive, with respect to each share of Common Stock subject to such
Award,
cash in an amount equal to the excess of (i) the greater of (A) the
Fair
Market Value of such share of Common Stock immediately prior to the
occurrence of such Change of Control or (B) the value of the
consideration to be received in connection with such Change of Control
for
one share of Common Stock, over (ii) the exercise price per share,
if
applicable, of one share of Common Stock. If the consideration offered
to
shareholders of the Company in any transaction described in this
Section 8.3
consists of anything other than cash, the Committee shall determine
the
fair cash equivalent of the portion of the non-cash consideration
offered.
The provisions contained in this Section 8.3
shall not terminate any rights of the Holder to further payments
pursuant
to any other agreement with the Company following the occurrence
of a
Change of Control. The provisions contained in this
Section 8.3
do
not apply to Consultants.
|
13
8.4
|
Other
Events.
In the event of changes to the outstanding Common Stock by reason
of
recapitalization, reorganization, mergers, consolidations, combinations,
exchanges or other relevant changes in capitalization occurring after
the
date of the grant of any Award and not otherwise provided for under
this
Article
VIII,
any outstanding Awards and any Award Agreements evidencing such Awards
shall be subject to adjustment by the Committee in its discretion
as to
the number and price of shares of Common Stock or other consideration
subject to such Awards. In the event of any such change to the outstanding
Common Stock, the aggregate number of shares available under the
Plan may
be appropriately adjusted by the Committee, the determination of
which
shall be conclusive.
|
8.5
|
Powers
Not Affected.
The existence of the Plan and the Awards granted hereunder shall
not
affect in any way the right or power of the Board or of the shareholders
of the Company to make or authorize any adjustment, recapitalization,
reorganization or other change of the Company’s capital structure or
business, any merger or consolidation of the Company, any issue of
debt or
equity securities ahead of or affecting Common Stock or the rights
thereof, the dissolution or liquidation of the Company or any sale,
lease,
exchange or other disposition of all or any part of its assets or
business
or any other corporate act or
proceeding.

No
Adjustment for Certain Awards.
Except as hereinabove expressly provided, the issuance by the Company
of
shares of stock of any class or securities convertible into shares
of
stock of any class, for cash, property, labor or services, upon direct
sale, upon the exercise of rights or warrants to subscribe therefor
or
upon conversion of shares or obligations of the Company convertible
into
such shares or other securities, and in any case whether or not for
fair
value, shall not affect previously granted Awards, and no adjustment
by
reason thereof shall be made with respect to the number of shares
of
Common Stock subject to Awards theretofore granted or the purchase
price
per share, if applicable.
|
8.7
|
No
Adjustment to Result in Nonqualified Deferred Compensation.
Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary,
no
adjustment shall be made to any outstanding Award under the Plan
that
would result in such Award being considered “nonqualified deferred
compensation,” within the meaning of Section 409A, so as to cause such
Award or the Plan to become subject to the requirements of Section
409A.

Other
Laws; Withholding.
The Company shall not be obligated to issue any Common Stock pursuant
to
any Award granted under the Plan at any time when the shares covered
by
such Award have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933
and
such other state and federal laws, rules or regulations as the Company
or
the Committee deems applicable and, in the opinion of legal counsel
of the
Company, there is no exemption from the registration requirements
of such
laws, rules or regulations available for the issuance and sale of
such
shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be delivered,
nor shall
any cash in lieu of fractional shares be paid. The Company shall
have the
right to deduct in cash (whether under the Plan or otherwise) in
connection with all Awards any taxes required by law to be withheld
and to
require any payments required to enable it to satisfy its withholding
obligations. In the case of any Award satisfied in the form of shares
of
Common Stock, no shares shall be issued unless and until arrangements
satisfactory to the Company shall have been made to satisfy any tax
withholding obligations applicable with respect to such Award. Subject
to
such terms and conditions as the Committee may impose, the Company
shall
have the right to retain, or the Committee may, subject to such terms
and
conditions as it may establish from time to time, permit Holders
to elect
to tender Common Stock or have the Company withhold shares of Common
Stock
to satisfy, in whole or in part, the employer’s minimum statutory
withholding (based on minimum statutory withholding rates for federal
and
state tax purposes, including payroll taxes, that are applicable
to such
supplemental taxable income).
|

10.4
|
No
Restriction on Corporate Action.
Nothing contained in the Plan shall be construed to prevent the Company
or
any Affiliate from taking any corporate action which is deemed by
the
Company or such Affiliate to be appropriate or in its best interest,
whether or not such action would have an adverse effect on the Plan
or any
Award made under the Plan. No Employee, Director, Consultant, beneficiary
or other person shall have any claim against the Company or any Affiliate
as a result of any such action.
|
10.5
|
Restrictions
on Transfer.
No Award under the Plan or any Award Agreement and no rights or interests
herein or therein, shall or may be assigned, transferred, sold, exchanged,
encumbered, pledged or otherwise hypothecated or disposed of by a
Holder
except (a) by will or by the laws of descent and distribution or
(b)
except for an Incentive Stock Option, by gift to any Family Member
of the
Holder. An Award may be exercisable during the lifetime of the Holder
only
by such Holder or by the Holder’s guardian or legal representative unless
it has been transferred by gift to a Family Member of the Holder,
in which
case it shall be exercisable solely by such transferee. Notwithstanding
any such transfer, the Holder shall continue to be subject to the
withholding requirements provided for under Section 10.3
hereof.
|
10.6
|
Beneficiary
Designations.
Each Holder may, from time to time, name a beneficiary or beneficiaries
(who may be contingent or successive beneficiaries) for purposes
of
receiving any amount which is payable in connection with an Award
under
the Plan upon or subsequent to the Holder’s death. Each such beneficiary
designation shall serve to revoke all prior beneficiary designations,
be
in a form prescribed by the Company and be effective solely when
filed by
the Holder in writing with the Company during the Holder’s lifetime. In
the absence of any such written beneficiary designation, for purposes
of
the Plan, a Holder’s beneficiary shall be the Holder’s
estate.

It is intended that, at any time the Company is Publicly Traded,
the Plan
and any Award made to a person subject to Section 16 of the Exchange
Act
shall meet all of the requirements of Rule 16b-3. If any provision
of the
Plan or of any such Award would disqualify the Plan or such Award
under,
or would otherwise not comply with the requirements of, Rule 16b-3,
such
provision or Award shall be construed or deemed to have been amended
as
necessary to conform to the requirements of Rule
16b-3.
|
10.8
|
Section
162(m).
It is intended that, at any time when the Common Stock is Publicly-Traded,
the Plan shall comply fully with and meet all the requirements of
Section 162(m) so that Awards hereunder which are made to Holders who
are “covered employees” (as defined in Section 162(m)) shall constitute
“performance-based” compensation within the meaning of Section 162(m). The
performance criteria to be utilized under the Plan for such purposes

so intended, such provision shall be construed or deemed amended
to
