ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
TO BE HELD ON NOVEMBER 19, 2007
 
October 17, 2007
 
Dear Stockholders:
 
You are invited to attend the Annual Meeting of Stockholders of Network CN Inc. (the “Company”, “we”, “our” or  “Network CN”), which will be held at the Company’s offices at 21st Floor, Chinachem Century Tower, 178 Gloucester Road, Wanchai, Hong Kong, on Monday, November 19, 2007, at 10:00 a.m. (Australian Western Standard Time, also known as Chinese Standard Time).
 
We discuss the matters to be acted upon at the meeting in more detail in the attached Notice of Annual Meeting and Proxy Statement. There are three specific items for which you are being asked to vote: (i) the election of a full slate of nine (9) directors to the Board of Directors of the Company; (ii) ratification of appointment of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firms for the fiscal year ending on December 31, 2007 and (iii) approval of the Company’s 2007 Stock Option/Stock Issuance Plan. The Board of Directors recommends that you vote “FOR” the nine (9) individuals nominated, “FOR” ratification of the independent registered public accounting firms and “FOR” approval of the Company’s 2007 Stock Option/Stock Issuance Plan.  Included with the Proxy Statement is a copy of our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006. We encourage you to read the Form 10-KSB. It includes our audited financial statements and information about our operations, markets, products and services.
 
You can vote by signing and returning the enclosed proxy card in the postage prepaid envelope provided or via facsimile. Returning the proxy card by mail or by facsimile will ensure your representation at the meeting but does not deprive you of your right to attend the meeting and to vote your shares in person. The Proxy Statement explains more about how to vote by proxy. Please read it carefully.
 
You are entitled to attend the annual meeting only if you were a Network CN Inc. stockholder as of the close of business on October 5, 2007 or hold a valid proxy for the annual meeting. You should be prepared to present valid government-issued photo identification for admittance. In addition, if you are a stockholder of record, your ownership will be verified against the list of stockholders of record on the record date prior to being admitted to the meeting. If you are not a stockholder of record but hold shares through a broker or nominee (i.e., in street name), you should provide proof of beneficial ownership as of the record date, such as your most recent account statement prior to October 5, 2007, a copy of the voting instruction card provided by your broker, trustee or nominee, or other similar evidence of ownership. If you do not provide photo identification or comply with the other procedures outlined above upon request, you may not be admitted to the annual meeting. We hope that you can attend the Annual Meeting. Whether or not you plan to attend, you can be sure that your shares are represented at the meeting by promptly voting by one of the methods provided. Any stockholder attending the Annual Meeting may vote in person, even if that stockholder has returned a proxy. Your vote is important, whether you own a few shares or many.

 
If you have questions concerning the Annual Meeting or your stock ownership, please call our Corporate Secretary, Daley Mok, at (852) 2833-2186. Thank you for your continued support of Network CN Inc.
 
Very truly yours,
 
/s/ Godfrey Hui

1

Q:
Who is entitled to vote at the meeting?
   
A:
Stockholders Entitled to Vote.  Stockholders who our records show owned shares of Network CN as of the close of business on October 5, 2007 (the “Record Date”) may vote at the Annual Meeting. On the Record Date, we had a total of 69,151,608 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding, which were held of record by approximately 210 stockholders. The stock transfer books will not be closed between the Record Date and the date of the meeting. As of the Record Date, we had no shares of Preferred Stock outstanding. Each share of Network CN Common Stock is entitled to one vote.
 
Registered Stockholders.  If your shares are registered directly in your name with Network CN’s transfer agent, you are considered, with respect to those shares, the stockholder of record, and these proxy materials are being sent to you by Network CN. As the stockholder of record, you have the right to grant your voting proxy directly to the individuals listed on the proxy card or to vote in person at the Annual Meeting.
 
Street Name Stockholders.  If your shares are held in a stock brokerage account or by a bank or other nominee, you are considered the beneficial owner of shares held in street name. These proxy materials are being forwarded to you by your broker or nominee, who is considered, with respect to those shares, the record holder. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker or nominee how to vote, and you are also invited to attend the Annual Meeting. However, since you are not the record holder, you may not vote these shares in person at the Annual Meeting unless you follow your broker’s procedures for obtaining a legal proxy. Your broker or nominee has enclosed a voting instruction card for you to use.
   
Q:
Can I attend the meeting in person?
   
A:
You are entitled to attend the annual meeting only if you were a Network CN Inc. stockholder as of the close of business on October 5, 2007 or hold a valid proxy for the annual meeting. You should be prepared to present valid government-issued photo identification for admittance. In addition, if you are a stockholder of record, your ownership will be verified against the list of stockholders of record on the record date prior to being admitted to the meeting. If you are not a stockholder of record but hold shares through a broker or nominee (i.e., in street name), you should provide proof of beneficial ownership as of the record date, such as your most recent account statement prior to October 5, 2007, a copy of the voting instruction card provided by your broker, trustee or nominee, or other similar evidence of ownership. If you do not provide photo identification or comply with the other procedures outlined above upon request, you may not be admitted to the annual meeting.
   
Q:
How can I vote my shares?
   
A:
Registered Stockholders:  Registered stockholders may vote in person at the Annual Meeting or by one of the following methods:
 
·  By Mail.  Complete, sign and date the enclosed proxy card and return it in the prepaid envelope provided;
 
·  By Fax.  Complete, sign and date the enclosed proxy card and fax to Holladay Stock Transfer at 480-481-3941;
 
Please note that voting facilities for registered stockholders will close at 12:00 p.m. Pacific Time on November 18, 2007
   
 
Street Name Stockholders:  If your shares are held by a broker, bank or other nominee, you must follow the instructions on the form you receive from your broker, bank or other nominee in order for your shares to be voted. Please follow their instructions carefully. Also, please note that if the holder of record of your shares is a broker, bank or other nominee and you wish to vote at the Annual Meeting, you must request a legal proxy from the bank, broker or other nominee that holds your shares and present that proxy and proof of identification at the Annual Meeting to vote your shares.
 
Based on the instructions provided by the broker, bank or other holder of record of their shares, street name stockholders may generally vote by one of the following methods:
 
·  By Mail.  You may vote by signing, dating and returning your voting instruction card in the enclosed pre-addressed envelope;

2

 
·  By Methods Listed on Voting Instruction Card.  Please refer to your voting instruction card or other information forwarded by your bank, broker or other holder of record to determine whether you may vote by mail or fax, and follow the instructions on the voting instruction card or other information provided by the record holder; or
 
·  In Person With a Proxy from the Record Holder.  A street name stockholder who wishes to vote at the Annual Meeting will need to obtain a legal proxy from his or her bank or brokerage firm. Please consult the voting instruction card sent to you by your bank or broker to determine how to obtain a legal proxy in order to vote in person at the Annual Meeting.
   
Q:
If I sign a proxy, how will it be voted?
   
A:
When proxies are properly dated, executed and returned, the shares represented by such proxies will be voted at the Annual Meeting in accordance with the instructions of the stockholder. However, if no specific instructions are given, the shares will be voted in accordance with the above recommendations of our Board of Directors. If any matters not described in the Proxy Statement are properly presented at the Annual Meeting, the proxy holders will use their own judgment to determine how to vote your shares. If the Annual Meeting is adjourned, the proxy holders can vote your shares on the new meeting date as well, unless you have revoked your proxy instructions, as described below under “Can I change my vote?”
   
Q:
What should I do if I get more than one proxy or voting instruction card?
   
A:
Stockholders may receive more than one set of voting materials, including multiple copies of these proxy materials and multiple proxy cards or voting instruction cards. For example, stockholders who hold shares in more than one brokerage account may receive a separate voting instruction card for each brokerage account in which shares are held. Stockholders of record whose shares are registered in more than one name will receive more than one proxy card. You should sign and return all proxies and voting instruction cards you receive relating to our Annual Meeting to ensure that all of your shares are voted.
   
Q:
Can I change my vote?
   
A:
You may change your vote at any time prior to the vote at the Annual Meeting. To revoke your proxy instructions and change your vote if you are a holder of record, you must (i) attend the Annual Meeting and vote your shares in person, (ii) advise Daley Mok, the Company’s Corporate Secretary, at our principal executive office in writing before the proxy holders vote your shares, or (iii) deliver later dated and signed proxy instructions.
   
Q:
What happens if I decide to attend the Annual Meeting but I have already voted or submitted a proxy covering my shares?
   
A:
You may attend the meeting and vote in person even if you have already voted or submitted a proxy. Please be aware that attendance at the Annual Meeting will not, by itself, revoke a proxy. If a bank, broker or other nominee holds your shares and you wish to attend the Annual Meeting and vote in person, you must obtain a “legal proxy” from the record holder of the shares giving you the right to vote the shares.
   
Q:
How are votes counted?
   
A:
The Annual Meeting will be held if a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock entitled to vote is represented in person or by proxy at the meeting. If you have returned valid proxy instructions or attend the Annual Meeting in person, your Common Stock will be counted for the purpose of determining whether there is a quorum, even if you wish to abstain from voting on some or all matters at the meeting.
 
Shares that are voted “WITHHELD” or “ABSTAIN” are treated as being present for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum and as entitled to vote on a particular subject matter at the Annual Meeting. If you hold shares of Network CN common stock in street name through a bank, broker or other nominee holder, the nominee holder may only vote your shares in accordance with your instructions. If you do not give specific instructions to your nominee holder as to how you want your shares voted, your nominee will indicate that it does not have authority to vote on the proposal, which will result in what is called a “broker non-vote”. All shares of Network CN common stock represented at the Annual Meeting, including broker non-votes and abstentions, will be counted for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum.

Q:
Who will tabulate the votes?
   
A:
Network CN will designate Benedict Fung as the Inspector of Election who will tabulate the votes.
   
Q:
Who is making this solicitation?
   
A:
This proxy is being solicited on behalf of Network CN’s Board of Directors.
   
Q:
Who pays for the proxy solicitation process?
   
A:
Network CN will pay the cost of preparing, assembling, printing, mailing and distributing these proxy materials and soliciting votes. We do not plan to retain a solicitor to assist with the solicitation.  We may, on request, reimburse brokerage firms and other nominees for their expenses in forwarding proxy materials to beneficial owners. In addition to soliciting proxies by mail, we expect that our directors, officers and employees may solicit proxies in person or by facsimile. None of these individuals will receive any additional or special compensation for doing this, although we will reimburse these individuals for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses.
   
Q:
May I propose actions for consideration at next year’s annual meeting of stockholders or nominate individuals to serve as directors?
   
A:
You may present proposals for action at a future meeting only if you comply with the requirements of the proxy rules established by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and our bylaws. In order for a stockholder proposal to be included in our Proxy Statement and form of Proxy relating to the meeting for our 2008 Annual Meeting of Stockholders under rules set forth in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Securities Exchange Act”), the proposal must be received by us no later than 5:00 p.m. (Chinese Standard Time) no later than the 90th day, and not earlier than the 120th day, prior to the first anniversary of the mailing of the notice for the preceding year’s annual meeting. Accordingly, stockholder proposals intended to be presented in our proxy materials for the 2008 Annual Meeting must be received by Daley Mok, Corporate Secretary, on or after Thursday, June 19, 2008, and prior to 5:00 p.m. (Chinese Standard Time) on Monday July 21, 2008 and must satisfy the requirements of the proxy rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Our bylaws require that certain information and acknowledgments with respect to the proposal and the stockholder making the proposal be set forth in the notice. A copy of the relevant bylaw provision is available upon written request to Network CN Inc. at Corporate Secretary at 21st Floor, Chinachem Century Tower, 178 Gloucester Road, Wanchai, Hong Kong. You can also access our SEC filings, including our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB, on our website at www.ncnincorporated.com. The information on our website is not a part of this Proxy Statement.
   
Q:
How do I obtain a separate set of proxy materials or request a single set for my household?
   
A:
If you share an address with another stockholder, have the same last name, and do not participate in electronic delivery of proxy materials, you will receive only one set of proxy materials (including our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB and Proxy Statement). If you wish to receive a separate Proxy Statement at this time, please request the additional copy by contacting our transfer agent, Holladay Stock Transfer by telephone at 480-481-3940, or by facsimile at 480-481-3941.

PROPOSAL THREE:

APPROVAL OF THE 2007 STOCK OPTION/STOCK ISSUANCE PLAN

The Company's stockholders are being asked to approve the Network CN Inc. 2007 Stock Option/Stock Issuance Plan (the "2007 Plan"). The Board of Directors of the Company unanimously approved the 2007 Plan on February 28, 2007. The principal provisions of the 2007 Plan are summarized below. This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the actual 2007 Plan, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit A to this Proxy Statement.

Summary of the 2007 Plan
 
Purpose. The purpose of the 2007 Plan is to promote the interests of the Company, by providing eligible persons employed by or serving the Company or any subsidiary or parent with the opportunity to acquire a proprietary interest, or otherwise increase their proprietary interest, in the Company as an incentive for them to continue in such employ or service.
 
Administration of the Plan. The 2007 Plan may be administered by either the Board of Directors or, at the discretion of the Board, a committee of the Board (the “Administrator”). The Administrator has broad discretion and authority in administering the 2007 Plan, including the right to reduce the exercise price of any option, or to accelerate vesting.
 
Types of Awards. The Administrator may authorize the following types of awards under the 2007 Plan: (1) the grant of “incentive” stock options which are options intended to satisfy the requirements of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“ISOs”); and (2) the grant of options which do not meet those requirements (“Non-Qualified Options”).
 
Eligible Participants. All employees, directors, consultants and advisors of the Company and any of its subsidiaries are eligible to receive awards under the 2007 Plan.
 
Shares Subject to the Plan. We may issue up to 7,500,000 shares of our Common Stock pursuant to the 2007 Plan. Any share subject to an option that terminates or expires without being exercised becomes available for future awards under the 2007 Plan. No eligible person shall be granted options during any twelve-month period covering shares of common stock with the aggregate fair market value of more than $100,000.
 
Terms and Conditions of Options. The exercise price of any option, may not be less than the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant (110% of the fair market value for options granted to 10% stockholders). No option may be exercised more than 10 years after the date of grant (five years with respect to options granted to 10% stockholders). No option may be transferred or assigned without the consent of the Administrator except by will or the laws of descent and distribution. The exercise price of options may be paid in cash or, with the consent of the Administrator, by a full recourse promissory note, delivery of other shares of Common Stock (including shares acquired upon exercise of the related options), or by cashless exercise, to the extent and subject to applicable regulations.
 
Amendments to the Plan. The Board may amend, alter, suspend or discontinue the Plan at any time. No amendment, alteration, suspension or discontinuance requires stockholder approval unless such approval is required to preserve incentive stock option treatment for federal income tax purposes or the Board otherwise concludes that stockholder approval is advisable or required by law.
 
Termination of the Plan. The Plan shall terminate upon the earlier of (1) the expiration of the ten year period measured from the date the Plan is adopted by the Board or (2) termination by the Board. All options and unvested stock issuances outstanding at the time of the termination of the Plan shall continue in effect in accordance with the provisions of the documents evidencing those options or issuances.
 
Certain U.S. Federal Tax Consequences
 
The following is a brief summary of the principal federal income tax consequences of awards under the 2007 Plan based on applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and Treasury Regulations now in effect.
 
12

 
General. A recipient of an award of options under the 2007 Plan realizes no taxable income at the time of grant.
 
Incentive Stock Options. The holder of an ISO does not recognize taxable income upon exercise of the ISO. In order to retain this tax benefit, the holder must make no disposition of the shares so received for at least one year from the date of exercise and at least two years from the grant of the ISO. Assuming compliance with this and other applicable tax provisions, the holder will realize long-term capital gain or loss when he or she disposes of the shares, measured by the difference between the exercise price and the amount received for the shares at the time of disposition. If a holder disposes of shares acquired by exercise of an ISO before the expiration of the above-noted periods, the gain arising from such disqualifying disposition will be taxable as ordinary income in the year of disposition to the extent that the lesser of (i) the fair market value of the shares on the date the ISO was exercised or (ii) the amount realized upon such disposition exceeds the exercise price. Any amount realized in excess of the fair market value on the date of exercise is treated as long-term or short-term capital gain, depending upon the holding period of the shares. If the amount realized upon such disposition is less than the exercise price, the loss will be treated as long-term or short-term capital loss, depending upon the holding period of the shares.
 
For purposes of the alternative minimum tax, the holder will recognize as an addition to his or her tax base, upon the exercise of an ISO, an amount equal to the excess of the fair market value of the shares at the time of exercise over the exercise price. If the holder makes a disqualifying disposition in the year of exercise, the holder will recognize taxable income for purposes of the regular income tax and the holder’s alternative minimum tax base will not be additionally increased.
 
Nonqualified Options. The holder of a Non-Qualified Option recognizes ordinary income at the time of the exercise in an amount equal to the excess of the fair market value of the shares on the date of exercise over the exercise price. This taxable income is subject to payroll tax withholding if the holder is an employee. When a holder disposes of shares acquired upon the exercise of a Non-Qualified Option, any amount received in excess of the fair market value of the shares on the date of exercise will be treated as long-term or short-term capital gain, depending upon the holding period of the shares, and if the amount received is less than the fair market value of the shares on the date of exercise, the loss will be treated as long-term or short-term capital loss, depending upon the holding period of the shares.
 
Deduction to the Company. The Company will be entitled to a deduction for federal income tax purposes at the same time and in the same amount as the recipient of an award is considered to have realized ordinary income as a result of the award, assuming that the limitation under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code is not applicable. 
 
Outstanding Options

              All awards to directors, executive officers, employees and consultants are made at the discretion of the Administrator of the 2007 Plan. Therefore, the benefits and amounts that will be received or allocated under the 2007 Plan are not determinable at this time. The following table is for illustrative purposes only and provides certain summary information concerning equity awards made in fiscal 2007.

During the last two fiscal years, we have not entered into any material transactions or series of transactions that would be considered material in which any officer, director or beneficial owner of 5% or more of any class of our capital stock, or any immediate family member of any of the preceding persons, had a direct or indirect material interest. There are transactions presently proposed, except as follows:

HOUSEHOLDING

We have adopted a procedure approved by the Securities and Exchange Commission called “householding.” Under this procedure, a householding notice will be sent to stockholders who have the same address and last name and do not participate in electronic delivery of proxy materials, and they will receive only one copy of our annual report and Proxy Statement unless one or more of these stockholders notifies us that they wish to continue receiving individual copies. This procedure reduces our printing costs and postage fees. Each stockholder who participates in householding will continue to receive a separate proxy card.
 
If any stockholders in your household wish to receive a separate annual report and a separate Proxy Statement, they may call our Corporate Secretary, Daley Mok, at (852) 2833-2186 or write to Network CN Inc., 21st Floor, Chinachem Century Tower, 178 Gloucester Road, Wanchai, Hong Kong.

EXHIBIT A



2007 STOCK OPTION/STOCK ISSUANCE PLAN




 







 

NETWORK CN INC.
 
2007 STOCK OPTION/STOCK ISSUANCE PLAN
 
ARTICLE ONE
 
GENERAL PROVISIONS
 
       I.       PURPOSE OF THE PLAN
 
This Plan is intended to promote the interests of Network CN Inc. (the “Corporation”), by providing eligible persons employed by or serving the Corporation or any Subsidiary or Parent with the opportunity to acquire a proprietary interest, or otherwise increase their proprietary interest, in the Corporation as an incentive for them to continue in such employ or service.
 
Capitalized terms herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the attached Appendix.
 
       II.     STRUCTURE OF THE PLAN
 
A. The Plan shall be divided into two separate equity programs:
 
(1) the Option Grant Program under which eligible persons may, at the discretion of the Plan Administrator, be granted options to purchase shares of Common Stock, and
 
(2) the Stock Issuance Program under which eligible persons may, at the discretion of the Plan Administrator, be issued shares of Common Stock directly, either through the immediate purchase of such shares or as a bonus for services rendered the Corporation (or any Parent or Subsidiary).
 
B. The provisions of Articles One and Four shall apply to both equity programs under the Plan and shall accordingly govern the interests of all persons under the Plan.
 
       III.    ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN
 
A. The Board shall administer the Plan. However, any or all administrative functions otherwise exercisable by the Board may be delegated to the Committee.  Members of the Committee shall serve for such period of time as the Board may determine and shall be subject to removal by the Board at any time. The Board may also at any time terminate the functions of the Committee and reassume all powers and authority previously delegated to the Committee.  The initial Committee and Plan Administrator shall be the Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation; provided that he/she remains a director of the Corporation.
 
B. The Plan Administrator shall have full power and authority (subject to the provisions of the Plan) to establish such rules and procedures as it may deem appropriate for proper administration of the Plan and to make such determinations under, and issue such interpretations of, the Plan and any outstanding options or stock issued under the Plan as it may deem necessary or advisable. Decisions of the Plan Administrator shall be final and binding on all parties who have an interest in the Plan or any option grant or stock issued under the Plan.
 
C. The Plan Administrator shall have full authority to determine, (1) with respect to the grants made under the Option Grant Program, which eligible persons are to receive such grants, the time or times when those grants are to be made, the number of shares to be covered by each such grant, the status of the granted option as either an Incentive Option or a Non-Statutory Option, the time or times when each option is to become exercisable, the vesting schedule (if any) applicable to the option shares and the maximum term for which the option is to remain outstanding, and (2) with respect to stock issuances made under the Stock Issuance Program, which eligible persons are to receive such issuances, the time or times when those issuances are to be made, the number of shares to be issued to each Participant, the vesting schedule (if any) applicable to the issued shares and the consideration to be paid by the Participant for such shares. Each option grant or stock issuance approved by the Plan Administrator shall be evidenced by the appropriate documentation.
 


IV.   ELIGIBILITY
 
A. The persons eligible to participate in the Plan are as follows:
 
(1) employees;
 
(2) members of the Board and the members of the board of directors of any Parent or Subsidiary; and
 
(3) independent contractors who provide services to the Corporation (or any Parent or Subsidiary).
 
       V.      STOCK SUBJECT TO THE PLAN
 
A. The shares issuable under the Plan shall be shares of authorized but unissued or reacquired shares of Common Stock. The maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued and outstanding or subject to options outstanding under the Plan shall not exceed seven million five hundred thousand (7,500,000) shares.
 
B. Shares of Common Stock subject to outstanding options shall be available for subsequent issuance under the Plan to the extent (1) the options expire or terminate for any reason prior to exercise in full or (2) the options are cancelled in accordance with the cancellation and re-grant provisions of Article Two. Unvested Shares issued under the Plan and subsequently repurchased by the Corporation, at a price per share not greater than the option exercise or direct issue price paid per share, pursuant to the Corporation’s repurchase rights under the Plan shall be added back to the number of shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance under the Plan and shall accordingly be available for reissuance through one or more subsequent option grants or direct stock issuances under the Plan.
 
C. Should any change be made to the Common Stock by reason of any stock split, stock dividend, reverse stock split, recapitalization, combination of shares, exchange of shares or other change affecting the outstanding Common Stock as a class without the Corporation’s receipt of consideration, appropriate adjustments shall be made to (1) the maximum number and/or class of securities issuable under the Plan and (2) the number and/or class of securities and the exercise price per share in effect under each outstanding option in order to prevent the dilution or enlargement of benefits thereunder. The adjustments determined by the Plan Administrator shall be final and binding. In no event shall any such adjustments be made in connection with the conversion of one or more outstanding shares of the Corporation’s preferred stock into shares of Common Stock.
 
D. The grant of options or the issuance of shares of Common Stock under the Plan shall in no way affect the right of the Corporation to adjust, reclassify, reorganize or otherwise change its capital or business structure or to merge, consolidate, dissolve, liquidate or sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets.

 


ARTICLE TWO
 
OPTION GRANT PROGRAM
 
       I      OPTION TERM
 
A. Agreement

Each option shall be in such form and shall contain such terms and conditions as the Board or Committee shall deem appropriate.  All Options shall be separately designated Incentive Stock Options or Non-Statutory Stock Options at the time of grant, and, if certificates are issued, a separate certificate or certificates will be issued for shares of Common Stock purchased on exercise of each type of Option.  The provisions of separate Options need not be identical, but each Option shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan:

B. Exercise Price.
 
(1) The Plan Administrator shall fix the exercise price per share, subject to any requirements of U.S. federal and state securities laws.  However, with respect to Incentive Stock Options, (a) if the option is granted to a 10% Stockholder, the exercise price per share must not be less than 110% of the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on the date the option is granted, and (b) if the option is granted to an Optionee who is not a 10% Stockholder, the exercise price per share shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on the date the option is granted.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, options may be granted with a per share exercise price other than as required above pursuant to a merger or other corporate transaction.
 
(2) The exercise price shall become immediately due upon exercise of the option and shall, subject to the provisions of Section I of Article Four and the documents evidencing the option, be payable in cash or check made payable to the Corporation. Should the Common Stock be registered under Section 12 of the 1934 Act at the time the option is exercised, then the exercise price (and any applicable withholding taxes) may also be paid as follows:
 
(a) in shares of Common Stock held for the requisite period, if any, necessary to avoid a charge to the Corporation’s earnings for financial reporting purposes and valued at Fair Market Value on the Exercise Date, or
 
(b) to the extent the option is exercised for Vested Shares, through a special sale and remittance procedure pursuant to which the Optionee shall concurrently provide irrevocable instructions (i) to a Corporation-designated brokerage firm to effect the immediate sale of the purchased shares and remit to the Corporation, out of the sale proceeds available on the settlement date, sufficient funds to cover the aggregate exercise price payable for the purchased shares plus all applicable income and employment taxes required to be withheld by the Corporation by reason of such exercise and (ii) to the Corporation to deliver the certificates for the purchased shares directly to such brokerage firm in order to complete the sale.
 
Except to the extent such sale and remittance procedure is utilized, payment of the exercise price for the purchased shares must be made on the Exercise Date.
 
C. Exercise and Term of Options. Each option shall be exercisable at such time or times, during such period and for such number of shares as shall be determined by the Plan Administrator and set forth in the documents evidencing the option grant. However, no Incentive Stock Option shall have a term in excess of ten years measured from the option grant date.
 
D. Effect of Termination of Service.
 
(1) The following provisions shall govern the exercise of any options granted to the Optionee that remain outstanding at the time the Optionee’s Service ceases:
 

 
(a) Should the Optionee cease to remain in Service for any reason other than death, Disability or Misconduct, then each option shall be exercisable for the number of shares subject to the option that were Vested Shares at the time the Optionee’s Service ceased and shall remain exercisable until the close of business on the earlier of (i) the three month anniversary of the date Optionee’s Service ceased or (ii) the expiration date of the option.
 
(b) Should the Optionee cease to remain in Service by reason of death or Disability, then each option shall be exercisable for the number of shares subject to the option which were Vested Shares at the time of the Optionee’s Service ceased and shall remain exercisable until the close of business on the earlier of (i) the twelve month anniversary of the date Optionee’s Service ceased or (ii) expiration date of the option.
 
(c) No additional vesting will occur after the date the Optionee’s Service ceases, and the option shall immediately terminate with respect to the Unvested Shares. Upon the expiration of any post-Service exercise period or (if earlier) upon the expiration date of the term of the option, the option shall terminate with respect to the Vested Shares.
 
(d) Should the Optionee’s Service be terminated for Misconduct or should the Optionee otherwise engage in Misconduct, then each outstanding option granted to the Optionee shall terminate immediately with respect to all shares.
 
(2) Understanding that there may be adverse tax and accounting consequences to doing so, the Plan Administrator shall have the discretion, exercisable either at the time an option is granted or at any time while the option remains outstanding, to:
 
(a) extend the period of time for which the option is to remain exercisable following the Optionee’s cessation of Service for such period of time as the Plan Administrator shall deem appropriate, but in no event beyond the expiration of the option, and/or
 
(b) permit the option to be exercised, during the applicable post-Service exercise period, not only with respect to the number of Vested Shares for which such option is exercisable at the time of the Optionee’s cessation of Service but also with respect to one or more additional installments in which the Optionee would have vested under the option had the Optionee continued in Service.
 
E. Stockholder Rights. The holder of an option shall have no stockholder rights with respect to the shares subject to the option until such person shall have exercised the option, paid the exercise price and become the recordholder of the purchased shares.
 
F. Unvested Shares. The Plan Administrator shall have the discretion to grant options that are exercisable for Unvested Shares. Should the Optionee’s Service cease while the shares issued upon the early exercise of the Optionee’s option are still unvested, the Corporation shall have the right to repurchase, any or all of those Unvested Shares at the lower of (1) the exercise price paid per share, or (2) the Fair Market Value per share on the date the Optionee’s Service ceased. Once the Corporation exercises its repurchase right, the Optionee shall have no further stockholder rights with respect to those shares. The terms upon which such repurchase right shall be exercisable (including the period and procedure for exercise and the appropriate vesting schedule for the purchased shares) shall be established by the Plan Administrator and set forth in the document evidencing such repurchase right. Any such repurchase must be made in accordance with applicable corporate law.  The Plan Administrator may set the vesting schedule, subject to applicable U.S. federal and state securities laws.
 
G. Limited Transferability of Options. An Incentive Option shall be exercisable only by the Optionee during his or her lifetime and shall not be assignable or transferable other than by will or by the laws of inheritance following the Optionee’s death. A Non-Statutory Option may be assigned in whole or in part during the Optionee’s lifetime to one or more members of the Optionee’s family (as defined in Rule 701 promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission) or to a trust established exclusively for one or more such family members or to the Optionee’s former spouse, to the extent such assignment is in connection with the Optionee’s estate plan or pursuant to a domestic relations order. The terms applicable to the assigned portion shall be the same as those in effect for the option immediately prior to such assignment and shall be set forth in such documents issued to the assignee as the Plan Administrator may deem appropriate.
 

 
       II.      INCENTIVE OPTIONS
 
The terms specified below shall be applicable to all Incentive Options. Except as modified by the provisions of this Section II, all the provisions of Articles One, Two and Four shall be applicable to Incentive Options. Options that are specifically designated as Non-Statutory Options shall not be subject to the terms of this Section II.
 
A. Eligibility. Incentive Options may only be granted to Employees.
 
B. Dollar Limitation. The aggregate Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock (determined as of the respective date or dates of grant) for which one or more options granted to any Employee under the Plan (or any other option plan of the Corporation or any Parent or Subsidiary) may for the first time become exercisable as Incentive Options during any one calendar year shall not exceed $100,000.
 
C. Term of Option Granted to a 10% Stockholder. If any Employee to whom an Incentive Option is granted is a 10% Stockholder, then the option term shall not exceed five years measured from the date the option is granted.
 
       III.     CHANGE IN CONTROL
 
A. The shares subject to each option outstanding under the Plan at the time of a Change in Control shall automatically become Vested Shares, and each such option shall, immediately prior to the effective date of the Change in Control, become exercisable for all of the shares of Common Stock at the time subject to that option. However, the shares subject to an outstanding option shall not become Vested Shares on an accelerated basis if and to the extent: (1) such option is assumed by the successor corporation (or parent thereof) or otherwise continued in full force and effect pursuant to the terms of the Change in Control transaction or (2) such option is to be replaced with a cash incentive program of the Corporation or any successor corporation which preserves the spread existing on the Unvested Shares at the time of the Change in Control and provides for subsequent payout of that spread no later than the time the Optionee would vest in those Unvested Shares or (3) the acceleration of such option is subject to other limitations imposed by the Plan Administrator.
 
B. All outstanding repurchase rights under the Option Grant Program shall also terminate automatically, and the shares of Common Stock subject to those terminated rights shall immediately become Vested Shares, in the event of any Change in Control, except to the extent: (1) those repurchase rights are assigned to the successor corporation (or parent thereof) or otherwise continued in effect pursuant to the terms of the Change in Control transaction, (2) the property (including cash payments) issued with respect to Unvested Shares is to be held in escrow and released in accordance with the vesting schedule in effect for the Unvested Shares pursuant to the Change in Control transaction or (3) such accelerated vesting is precluded by other limitations imposed by the Plan Administrator.
 
C. Immediately following the consummation of the Change in Control, all outstanding options shall terminate, except to the extent assumed by the successor corporation (or parent thereof) or otherwise continued in effect pursuant to the terms of the Change in Control transaction.
 
D. Each option that is assumed in connection with a Change in Control or otherwise continued in effect shall be appropriately adjusted, immediately after such Change in Control, to apply to the number and class of securities which would have been issuable to the Optionee in consummation of such Change in Control, had the option been exercised immediately prior to such Change in Control. Appropriate adjustments shall also be made to (1) the number and class of securities available for issuance under the Plan following the consummation of such Change in Control and (2) the exercise price payable per share under each outstanding option, provided the aggregate exercise price payable for such securities shall remain the same. To the extent the holders of the Common Stock receive cash consideration for their Common Stock in consummation of the Change in Control, the successor corporation may, in connection with the assumption of the outstanding options under this Plan, substitute one or more shares of its own common stock with a fair market value equivalent to the cash consideration paid per share of Common Stock in such Change in Control.
 
E. The Plan Administrator shall have the discretion, exercisable either at the time the option is granted or at any time while the option remains outstanding, to structure one or more options so that the option shall become immediately exercisable and some or all of the shares subject to those options shall automatically become Vested Shares (and some or all of the repurchase rights of the Corporation with respect to the Unvested Shares subject to those options shall immediately terminate) upon the occurrence of a Change in Control or another specified event, or the Optionee’s Involuntary Termination within a designated period following a specified event.
 

 
 
F. In addition, the Plan Administrator may provide that one or more of the Corporation’s outstanding repurchase rights with respect to some or all of the shares held by the Optionee at the time of a Change in Control or other specified event, or the Optionee’s Involuntary Termination following a specified event, shall immediately terminate on an accelerated basis, and the shares subject to those terminated rights shall become Vested Shares at that time.
 
G. The portion of any Incentive Option accelerated in connection with a Change in Control shall remain exercisable as an Incentive Option only to the extent the applicable $100,000 limitation set forth in Section II.C. of Article Two is not exceeded. To the extent such dollar limitation is exceeded, the accelerated portion of such option shall be exercisable as a Non-Statutory Option under the federal tax laws.
 
       IV.    CANCELLATION AND REGRANT OF OPTIONS
 
The Plan Administrator shall have the authority to effect, at any time and from time to time, with the consent of the affected option holders, the cancellation of any or all outstanding options under the Plan and to grant in substitution therefore new options covering the same or different number of shares of Common Stock.

(4) Should the Participant cease to remain in Service while holding one or more Unvested Shares issued under the Stock Issuance Program or should the performance objectives not be attained with respect to one or more such Unvested Shares, then the Corporation shall have the right to repurchase the Unvested Shares at the lower of (a) the purchase price paid per share or (b) the Fair Market Value per share on the date Participant’s Service ceased or the performance objective was not attained. The terms upon which such repurchase right shall be exercisable shall be established by the Plan Administrator and set forth in the document evidencing such repurchase right. Any repurchase must be made in compliance with the relevant provisions of California law.
 
(5) The Plan Administrator may in its discretion waive the surrender and cancellation of one or more Unvested Shares (or other assets attributable thereto) which would otherwise occur upon the non-completion of the vesting schedule applicable to those shares. Such waiver shall result in the immediate vesting of the Participant’s interest in the shares of Common Stock as to which the waiver applies. Such waiver may be effected at any time, whether before or after the Participant’s Service ceases or he or she attains the applicable performance objectives.
 

     
 
  II.      CHANGE IN CONTROL
 
A. Upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, all outstanding repurchase rights under the Stock Issuance Program shall terminate automatically, and the shares of Common Stock subject to those terminated rights shall immediately become Vested Shares, except to the extent: (1) those repurchase rights are assigned to the successor corporation (or parent thereof) or otherwise continued in effect pursuant to the terms of the Change in Control transaction, (2) the property (including cash payments) issued with respect to the Unvested Shares is held in escrow and released in accordance with the vesting schedule in effect for the Unvested Shares pursuant to the terms of the Change in Control transaction, or (3) such accelerated vesting is precluded by other limitations imposed by the Plan Administrator.
 
B. The Plan Administrator shall have the discretionary authority, exercisable either at the time the Unvested Shares are issued or any time while the Corporation’s repurchase rights with respect to those shares remain outstanding, to provide that those rights shall automatically terminate in whole or in part on an accelerated basis, and some or all of the shares of Common Stock subject to those terminated rights shall immediately become Vested Shares, in the event of a Change of Control or other event or the Participant’s Service is terminated by reason of an Involuntary Termination within a designated period following a Change in Control or any other specified event.

 


ARTICLE FOUR
 
MISCELLANEOUS
 
       I.       FINANCING
 
The Plan Administrator may permit any Optionee or Participant to pay the option exercise price under the Option Grant Program or the purchase price for shares issued under the Stock Issuance Program by delivering a full-recourse, interest bearing promissory note secured by the purchased shares. The Plan Administrator, after considering the potential adverse tax and accounting consequences, shall set the remaining terms of the note. In no event may the maximum credit available to the Optionee or Participant exceed the sum of (A) the aggregate option exercise price or purchase price payable for the purchased shares (less the par value of those shares) plus (B) any applicable income and employment tax liability incurred by the Optionee or the Participant in connection with the option exercise or share purchase.
 
       II.      FIRST REFUSAL RIGHTS
 
Upon the grant of options or shares, the Corporation may impose a right of first refusal with respect to any proposed disposition by the Optionee or Participant (or any successor in interest) of any shares of Common Stock issued under the Plan. Such right of first refusal shall be exercisable and lapse in accordance with the terms established by the Plan Administrator and set forth in the document evidencing such right.
 
       III.     SHARE ESCROW/LEGENDS
 
Unvested Shares may, in the Plan Administrator’s discretion, be held in escrow by the Corporation until the Unvested Shares vest or may be issued directly to the Participant or Optionee with restrictive legends on the certificates evidencing the fact that the Participant or Optionee does not have a vested right to them.
 
       IV.     EFFECTIVE DATE AND TERM OF PLAN
 
A. The Plan shall become effective when adopted by the Board, but no Incentive Stock Options granted under the Plan may be exercised until the Corporation’s stockholders approve the Plan.  Subject to such limitation, the Plan Administrator may grant options and issue shares under the Plan at any time after the effective date of the Plan and before the date fixed herein for termination of the Plan.
 
B. The Plan shall terminate upon the earlier of (1) the expiration of the ten year period measured from the date the Plan is adopted by the Board or (2) termination by the Board. All options and unvested stock issuances outstanding at the time of the termination of the Plan shall continue in effect in accordance with the provisions of the documents evidencing those options or issuances.
 
       V.      AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION OF THE PLAN
 
A. The Board shall have complete and exclusive power and authority to amend or terminate the Plan or any awards made thereunder in any or all respects. However, no such amendment or termination shall adversely affect the rights and obligations with respect to options or unvested stock issuances at the time outstanding under the Plan unless the Optionee or the Participant consents to such amendment or termination. In addition, certain amendments may require stockholder approval pursuant to applicable laws and regulations.
 
B. Although there may be adverse accounting consequences to doing so, options may be granted under the Option Grant Program and shares may be issued under the Stock Issuance Program which are in each instance in excess of the number of shares of Common Stock then available for issuance under the Plan, provided any excess shares actually issued under those programs shall be held in escrow until there is obtained stockholder approval of an amendment sufficiently increasing the number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the Plan. If such stockholder approval is not obtained within twelve months after the date the first such excess grants or issuances are made, then (1) any unexercised options granted on the basis of such excess shares shall terminate and (2) the Corporation shall promptly refund to the Optionees and the Participants the exercise or purchase price paid for any excess shares issued under the Plan and held in escrow, together with interest (at the applicable Short Term Federal Rate) for the period the shares were held in escrow, and such shares shall thereupon be automatically cancelled.
 

       
 
      VI.      USE OF PROCEEDS
 
Any cash proceeds received by the Corporation from the sale of shares of Common Stock under the Plan shall be used for any corporate purpose.
 
       VII.   WITHHOLDING
 
The Corporation’s obligation to deliver shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of any options granted under the Plan or upon the issuance or vesting of any shares issued under the Plan shall be subject to the satisfaction of all applicable income and employment tax withholding requirements.
 
      VIII.   REGULATORY APPROVALS
 
The implementation of the Plan, the granting of any options under the Plan and the issuance of any shares of Common Stock (A) upon the exercise of any option or (B) under the Stock Issuance Program shall be subject to the Corporation’s procurement of all approvals and permits required by regulatory authorities having jurisdiction over the Plan, the options granted under it and the shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to it.
 
       IX.    NO EMPLOYMENT OR SERVICE RIGHTS
 
Nothing in the Plan shall confer upon the Optionee or the Participant any right to continue in Service for any period of specific duration or interfere with or otherwise restrict in any way the rights of the Corporation (or any Parent or Subsidiary employing or retaining such person) or of the Optionee or the Participant, which rights are hereby expressly reserved by each, to terminate such person’s Service at any time for any reason, with or without cause.
