STRATEGIC GAMING INVESTMENTS, INC.

2007 STOCK OPTION AND INCENTIVE PLAN

AS ADOPTED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS ON MAY 29, 2007

 

 

1. PURPOSE

The purpose of this 2007 Stock Option and Incentive Plan ("Plan") is to

further the interests of Strategic Gaming Investments, Inc. ("Company") by

providing selected employees, directors, independent contractors and advisors,

upon whose judgment, initiative and effort the Company is largely dependent for

the successful conduct of its business, the opportunity to participate in a

stock option and incentive plan designed to reward them for their services and

to encourage them to continue in the employ or service of the Company. This

Plan provides for both the direct award and sale of Shares and for the grant of

Options to purchase Shares. Options granted under this Plan may include

Nonstatutory Options as well as Incentive Options intended to qualify under

Section 422 of the Code.

2. DEFINITIONS

For all purposes of this Plan, the following definitions shall apply:

2.1."Board" shall mean the Board of Directors of the Company, as

constituted from time to time.

2.2."Code" shall mean the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended,

together with the regulations promulgated thereunder.

2.3. "Committee" shall mean the committee designated by the Board, which

is authorized to administer this Plan in accordance with Section hereof. The

Committee shall be composed solely of two or more Non-Employee Directors and

otherwise have such membership composition which enables the Options or other

rights granted under this Plan to qualify for exemption under Rule 16b-3 with

respect to persons who are subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act. Each

member of the Committee shall serve at the pleasure of the Board. If no

Committee is designated by the Board, the Board collectively shall act as the

Committee and administer this Plan.

2.4."Common Stock" shall mean the Company's common stock, $0.001 par

value.

2.5."Company" shall mean Strategic Gaming Investments, Inc., a Delaware

corporation, and any current or future Subsidiary of Strategic Gaming

Investments, Inc..

2.6."Employee" shall mean any individual who is a full-time employee of

the Company or a Subsidiary.

2.7."Exchange Act" shall mean the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as

amended, or any successor rule.

2.8."Exercise Price" shall mean the amount for which one Share may be

purchased upon exercise of an Option, as specified by the Committee in the

Option Grant.

2.9."Fair Market Value" shall mean (i) the closing price of a Share on

the principal exchange (including the Nasdaq Stock Market or a successor

quotation system) on which Common Stock is trading or quoted, on the date on

which the Fair Market Value is determined (if Fair Market Value is determined

on a date which the principal exchange is closed, Fair Market Value shall be

determined on the last immediately preceding trading day), or (ii) if Common

Stock is not traded on an exchange or quoted on the Nasdaq Stock Market or a

successor quotation system, the fair market value of a Share shall equal the

immediately preceding private placement price per share being utilized.

Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the contrary, no determination

made with respect to the Fair Market Value of a Share subject to an Incentive

Option shall be inconsistent with Section 422 of the Code.

2.10. "Immediate Family" shall mean, with respect to a particular

Optionee, the Optionee's spouse, children or grandchildren (including adopted

and step children and grandchildren).

2.11. "Incentive Option" shall mean an option granted under this Plan

which is designated and qualified as an incentive stock option within the

meaning of Section 422 of the Code. Neither the Committee, the Board nor the

Company shall have any liability if an Option or any part thereof that is

intended to be an Incentive Option does not qualify as such. An Option or any

part thereof that does not qualify as an Incentive Option is referred to herein

as a Nonstatutory Option.

2.12. "Non-Employee Director" shall have the meaning set forth in Rule

16b-3 promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the

Exchange Act.

2.13. "Nonstatutory Option" shall mean an option (or warrant for any

person other than an Employee or Non-Employee Director) granted under this Plan

which is designated as a non-qualified stock option and which does not qualify

as an incentive stock option within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code.

2.14. "Offeree" shall mean any person who has been offered the right to

acquire Shares under this Plan (other than upon exercise of an Option).

terms, conditions and restrictions pertaining to each Option granted to an

Optionee.

under this Plan.

within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Code.

Stock Option and Incentive Plan, as amended from time to time.

2.20. "Purchase Price" shall mean the consideration for which one Share

may be acquired under this Plan (other than upon exercise of an Option), as

classes of stock.

2.25. "Termination for Cause" shall mean the termination of the

employment or service of an individual with the Company, whether voluntary or

involuntary, that is determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion, to

have resulted from (i) the unauthorized use or disclosure of the confidential

information or trade secrets of the Company, which use or disclosure causes

harm to the Company, (ii) the conviction of, or plea of "guilty" or "no

contest" to, a felony under the laws of the United States or any state thereof,

(iii) willful misconduct, or (iv) continued failure to perform assigned duties

after receiving written notification from the Board. The foregoing, however,

shall not be deemed to be an exclusive list of all acts or omissions that the

evidenced by an Option Grant approved by the Committee. Such Option shall be

subject to all applicable terms and conditions of this Plan and may be subject

provisions of the various Option Grants entered into under this Plan need not

be identical. In no event shall the aggregate fair market value (determined as
