Eligible Participants of the Company and its affiliated corporations.

The plan is known as the GREM USA 2005 Stock Option Plan (the

"Plan"). The Plan was adopted by the Company on April 29, 2005.

 

         1.2 Purpose. The purpose of the Plan is to promote the best

interest of the Company, and its stockholders by providing a means of

non-cash remuneration to selected Eligible Participants who contribute

most to the operating progress and earning power of the Company.

 

SECTION 2.      DEFINITIONS

 

         The following definitions shall be applicable to the terms

used in the Plan:

         2.2 "Code" means the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as it may

be amended from time to time.

 

         2.3 "Committee" means a committee designated by the Board of

Directors to administer the Plan or, if no committee is so designated,

Participant may receive a grant only if he abstains from voting in

favor of a grant to himself, and the grant is determined and approved

by the remaining Committee Members. The Board of Directors, in its sole

discretion, may at any time remove any member of the Committee and

appoint another Director to fill any vacancy on the Committee.

on such exchange on which the Company's Common Stock may be listed.

 

         2.9 "Option" means the grant to an Eligible Participant of a

right to acquire shares of Restricted Stock of the Company, unless said

shares are duly registered, and thus freely tradeable, pursuant to a

Grant of Option approved by the Committee and executed and delivered by

and which shares have been issued subject to the "blue sky" provisions

of any appropriate state jurisdiction. Special resale restrictions may,

however, apply to officers, directors, control shareholders and

an opinion of counsel as regards their ability to resell shares

received pursuant to this Plan.

 

         2.12 "Stock" or "Restricted Stock" means shares of common

stock, $.001 par value, of the Company issuable directly under the Plan

or underlying the grant of the Option, which are, upon issuance,

         The total number of shares of Common Stock reserved for

issuance by the Company either directly or underlying Options granted

under this Plan shall not be more than 150,000,000. The total number of

         7.1 As soon as practicable after the determination by the

Committee and approval by the Board of Directors (if necessary,

pursuant to Section 4 hereof) of the Eligible Participants and the

number of shares an Eligible Participant may be issued directly or

granted pursuant to an Option, the Committee shall give notice (written

or oral) thereof to each Eligible Participant, which notice may be

such Eligible Participant. Upon receipt, an Eligible Participant may

exercise his right to an Option to purchase Common Stock by providing

Stock, the Committee shall take into consideration, among other

factors, the restrictions set forth in Section 11 hereof.

 

SECTION 8.      PAYMENT UPON EXERCISE OF OPTION OR DIRECT ISSUANCE

 

         The Committee shall determine the terms of the Grant of Option

and the exercise price or direct issue price for payment by each

Participant for his shares of Common Stock granted thereunder.    Such

terms shall be set forth or referred to in the Grant of Option or Board

Resolution authorizing the share issuance. The terms and/or exercise

price so set by the Committee may vary from one Participant to another.

In the event that all the Committee approves an Option grant permitting

deferred payments, the Participant's obligation to pay for such Common

Stock shall be evidenced by a Promissory Note executed by such

Participant and containing such modifications thereto and such other

provisions as the Committee, in its sole discretion, may determine.

 

SECTION 9.      DELIVERY OF SHARES OF COMMON STOCK UPON EXERCISE

 

         The Company shall deliver to or on behalf of each Participant

such number of shares of Common Stock as such Participant elects to

purchase upon direct issuance or upon exercise of the Option. Such

shares, which shall be fully paid and nonassessable upon the issuance

thereof (unless a portion or all of the purchase price shall be paid on

a deferred basis) shall be represented by a certificate or certificates

registered in the name of the Participant and stamped with an

appropriate legend referring to the restrictions thereon, if any, as

may be set forth in the Grant of Option. Subject to the terms and

provisions of the Wyoming Business Corporation Act and the Grant of

Option to which he is a party, a Participant shall have all the rights

of a stockholder with respect to such shares, including the right to

vote the shares and to receive all dividends or other distributions

paid or made with respect thereto (except to the extent such

Participant defaults under the promissory note, if any, evidencing the

deferred purchase price for such shares), provided that such shares

shall be subject to the restrictions hereinafter set forth. In the

event of a merger or consolidation to which the Company is a party, or

of any other acquisition of a majority of the issued and outstanding

shares of common stock of the Company involving an exchange or a

substitution of stock of an acquiring corporation for common stock of

the Company, or of any transfer of all or substantially all of the

assets of the Company in exchange for stock of an acquiring

corporation, a determination as to whether the stock of the acquiring

corporation so received shall be subject to the restrictions set forth

in Section 11 shall be made solely by the acquiring corporation.
