The terms of our employment agreements with Messrs. Gluckstern, Saloff, DiMino
and Gallantar are set forth below.
TERMS OF EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT WITH MR. GLUCKSTERN AND AMENDED AND RESTATED
EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS WITH MESSRS. SALOFF AND DIMINO.
On December 31, 2008, we entered into an employment agreement with Steven M.

Chief Technical Officer. Mr. DiMino's amended and restated employment agreement
still permits him to provide certain levels of service to ADM Tronics Unlimited
Inc., but requires him to devote at least a majority of his business time
towards providing service to us.
Each of the employment agreements has a term that expires on November 30, 2011;
provided that unless we or an executive gives written notice to the other party
at least 120 days prior to the expiration of the then-current term, the
then-current term shall be automatically extended for additional one-year

DiMino provides for a minimum annual salary of $225,000, a target annual bonus
opportunity of 75% of annual salary, and payments relating to personal benefits
and perquisites of such type that he determines not to exceed $25,000 per year.
The employment agreements provide for certain severance benefits in the event of
a termination of the executive's employment by us other than for "cause" (as
defined below), or by the executive for "good reason" (as defined below). Mr.
Gluckstern's severance benefits include a payment equal to 200% of the sum of
his then current annual base salary plus his most recent bonus (or target bonus
if no bonus has yet been paid), plus reimbursement for medical insurance
premiums for a period of 18 months. In addition, Mr. Gluckstern's unvested
equity grants will become fully vested. Mr. Gluckstern will also receive such
cash payment, and the vesting of equity grants, in the event of death or
"disability." Messrs. Saloff's and DiMino's severance benefits include a payment
equal to 200% of the sum of his then current annual base salary plus most recent
bonus paid (or if termination is after March 31, 2009 and no bonus with respect
to the fiscal year then ending has been paid, the amount of such bonus declared
by our Board of Directors prior to termination or if such bonus has not been
declared by our Board of Directors prior to termination, the target bonus for
such fiscal year), plus a pro rata bonus payment for the year in which the
termination occurs, plus an additional amount equal to $15,000 for Mr. Saloff,
and $25,000 for Mr. DiMino. In addition, the executive will be entitled to
reimbursement for medical insurance premiums for a period of 18 months, and all
unvested equity grants will become fully vested. Messrs. Saloff and DiMino will
also receive such cash payment, and the vesting of equity grants, in the event
of death or "disability" (as defined herein). In addition, Mr. DiMino may resign
from employment for any reason or no reason, no earlier than January 31, 2009
and no later than July 31, 2010, and be entitled to receive a severance payment
equal to 200% of the sum of base salary plus target bonus, plus $25,000, and
receive vesting of unvested equity awards granted prior to the date of the new
employment agreement.
For purposes of the employment agreements, the following terms have the
following meanings:
"CAUSE" means, generally, the executive's (i) conviction of, plea of guilty or
nolo contendre to, or confession of guilt of, a felony, (ii) commission of a
fraudulent, illegal or dishonest act (which dishonest act result in material
damage to us) in respect of our or any of our affiliates or subsidiaries, (iii)
willful misconduct or gross negligence that reasonably could be expected to be
injurious in our reasonable discretion to our business, operations or reputation
or any of our affiliates or subsidiaries (monetarily or otherwise), (iv)
material violation of our policies or procedures in effect from time to time,
(v) after a written warning and a reasonable opportunity to cure
non-performance, continued failure to perform the executive's duties as
assigned, in accordance with the terms of the employment agreement, to the
executive from time to time, or (vi) other material breach of the employment
agreement.
11
"GOOD REASON" means, generally, in the absence of the consent of the executive
(i) the failure of the Company or its successor to pay any amounts due to the
executive or to fulfill any other material obligations under the employment
agreement (ii) action by the Company or its successor that results in a material
diminution in the executive's title, position, authority or duties; (iii) any
material reduction in the amount of D&O liability insurance coverage (does not
apply to Mr. Saloff); or (iv) the Company's determination not to extend the
employment agreement. For Messrs. Saloff and DiMino, Good Reason also includes a
relocation of the offices of the Company or its successor (for Mr. DiMino, by
increasing his commute more than 10 additional miles, and for Mr. Saloff, by
making a material change to the geographic location of his office). For Mr.
DiMino, Good Reason also includes the occurrence of a (a) a merger or
consolidation of our company with or into any other corporation, entity or
person; or (b) a sale, lease, exchange or other transfer in one transaction or a
series of related transactions of all or substantially all our outstanding
securities or all or substantially all our assets (excluding a "related party
transaction" (as defined below); provided, however, that, in connection with
such event, the holders of our common stock receive aggregate consideration,
upon the closing, of at least $100 million.
"DISABILITY" means, generally, the executive's physical or mental disability
that prevents the executive from performing his duties for a period of at least
120 consecutive days in any 12-month period or 150 non-consecutive days in any
12-month period.
"RELATED PARTY TRANSACTION" means, generally, a merger or consolidation in which
the holders of our common stock immediately prior to the merger hold at least a
majority of the shares of our common stock in the successor corporation
immediately after the merger; a sale, lease, exchange or other transaction in
one transaction or a series of related transactions of all or substantially all
our assets to a wholly-owned subsidiary of our company; a mere reincorporation
of our company; or a transaction for the sole purpose of creating a holding
company.
During the term of the employment agreements and for a period of 24 months
thereafter, subject to applicable law, the executives will be subject to
restrictions on competition with us and restrictions on the solicitation of our
customers and executives. For all periods during and after the term, the
executives will be subject to nondisclosure and confidentiality restrictions
relating to our confidential information and trade secrets.
Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code denies a corporation a deduction for
"excess parachute payments." Excess parachute payments generally consist of
payments to specified individuals that are contingent upon a change in ownership
or control of a corporation, or a change in a substantial portion of the
corporation's assets, and that exceed a statutorily determined base amount. In
the event that any payment, coverage or benefit provided under the employment
agreements would not be deemed to be deductible by us in whole or in part in the
calculation of the Federal income tax by reason of Section 280G of the Internal
Revenue Code, the aggregate payments, coverage or benefits provided under the
employment agreement will be reduced to the "safe harbor" level under Section
280G of the Internal Revenue Code so that the entire amount which is paid or
provided to the executive will be deductible notwithstanding the provisions of
Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code (except that such reduction shall not
occur (i) in the case of Messrs. DiMino and Saloff, if the amount of income, net
of taxes, is greater by at least $10,000 in the absence of such reduction and
(ii) in the case of Mr. Gluckstern, in the event his payments, coverages or
benefits, before taxes, exceed the safe harbor by more than $50,000). The "safe
harbor" level under Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code is generally the
amount that is less than three times the average of five years of W-2
compensation.
In connection with entering into the employment agreements, each executive is
entitled to receive grants of equity incentive awards as described below:
For Mr. Gluckstern, subject to and following the approval of our shareholders of
the 2009 Equity Incentive Plan, as described in Proposal No. 2, Mr. Gluckstern
will be granted stock awards pursuant to a restricted stock award agreement to
be entered into between us and Mr. Gluckstern (the "Stock Award Agreement") on
the terms and conditions set forth below and upon such additional terms and
conditions determined by the Compensation Committee. The grant shall be for a
number of shares of restricted common stock which equals 10% of our outstanding
common stock on the date of grant (including as outstanding for purposes of
these calculations the restricted common stock then being granted to Mr.
Gluckstern), which as of the record date would have been a total of 1,124,103
restricted shares. The total number of restricted shares will be divided as
follows: (i) approximately 14% (or 160,586 restricted shares assuming 10,116,930
outstanding shares on the date of grant) will vest over three years subject to
Mr. Gluckstern's continued employment with us, (ii) approximately 29% (or
321,172 restricted shares assuming 10,116,930 outstanding shares on the date of
12
grant) will vest if our market capitalization reaches certain pre-established
targets set forth in the Stock Award Agreement or if our common stock is no
longer publicly traded and (iii) approximately 57% (or 642,345) restricted
shares assuming 10,116,930 outstanding shares on the date of grant) will vest
only if we successfully complete a financing or series of financings up to an
aggregate amount up to $20 million prior to December 31, 2010. The Stock Award
Agreement would govern the grant of the awards contemplated by the terms of Mr.
Gluckstern's employment agreement. The Stock Award Agreement will also provide
for potential future issuances of unrestricted stock and restricted stock units
to Mr. Gluckstern, subject to any necessary board and shareholder approval if an
increase in the shares authorized under the 2009 Equity Incentive Plan is
required. The potential future issuance of the unrestricted stock and restricted
stock units would be triggered in the event that we successfully complete a
financing or series of financings up to an aggregate amount up to $20 million
prior to December 31, 2010, and would be designed as an equitable adjustment
such that the number of shares of common stock that may be received by Mr.
Gluckstern will equal up to 10% of the outstanding shares of our common stock.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the restricted shares set forth in (c) will not
vest nor will any equitable adjustment be made for any financing (whether by
debt, equity or otherwise) to the extent the source of the financing is Mr.
Gluckstern or any of his affiliates or entities in which Mr. Gluckstern has an
ownership interest. In the event that the shareholders do not approve the 2009
Equity Incentive Plan to facilitate the restricted stock grants, we will provide
Mr. Gluckstern with an alternative incentive compensation award or arrangement,
to be determined by our Compensation Committee that provides the after-tax
economic equivalent of the restricted stock grants, which alternative
arrangement shall be subject to Mr. Gluckstern's reasonable consent and
approval.
Mr. Saloff will be granted equity incentive awards during the fiscal years
ending March 31, 2009, 2010 and 2011 as determined by the Compensation
Committee. The 2009 grant will have a value at the time of grant, as determined
by the Compensation Committee, equal to 75% of his then current annual base
salary. The 2010 and 2011 grants will have a value at the time of grant equal to
50% of this then current annual base salary. With respect to each grant, 50% of
the grant will vest over time subject to his continued employment with us, and
50% will vest subject to the attainment of pre-established performance goals to
be established by the Compensation Committee.
Upon execution of Mr. DiMino's employment agreement, Mr. DiMino was granted an
option to purchase 261,918 shares of our common stock with an exercise price
equal to 110% of the fair market value of a share of our common stock as of the
date of grant, which was $.308 per share. Mr. DiMino also will be granted equity
incentive awards during the fiscal years ending March 31, 2009, 2010 and 2011 as
determined by the Compensation Committee. The 2009 grant will have a value as of
the date of grant, as determined by the Compensation Committee, equal to 75% of
his then current annual base salary. The 2010 and 2011 grants will have a value
as of the date of grant equal to 50% of this then current annual base salary.
With respect to each grant other than the initial option grant, 50% of the grant
will vest over time subject to his continued employment with us, and 50% will
vest subject to the attainment of pre-established performance goals to be
established by the Compensation Committee.
The Compensation Committee retained the services of Compensation Resources, Inc.
to advise it with respect to the determining reasonable and appropriate levels
of compensation and terms and conditions applicable to the employment
agreements. In addition, Compensation Resources, Inc. will work with the
Compensation Committee to determine the performance criteria for future grants
to the executive officers.
ALAN GALLANTAR
As of July 13, 2006, we entered into an employment agreement with Alan Gallantar
to secure his service as Chief Financial Officer, effective as of October ,

extend it. The agreement provides for a minimum annual salary of $233,550 for
Mr. Gallantar and a discretionary annual cash bonus and participation on
generally applicable terms and conditions in other compensation and fringe
benefit plans.
13
The terms of the employment agreement provide that Mr. Gallantar will be
entitled to severance benefits in the amount of such executive's base salary for
a period of 12 months following the date of termination if his employment is
terminated without "cause" or if he resigns for "good reason" (as such terms are
defined below), or 18 months following the date of termination if his employment
is terminated without "cause" or if he resigns for "good reason" within 12
months following a "change in control" (as such terms are defined below), in
each case subject to the execution and delivery to us by the employee of a
general release.
For purposes of Mr. Gallantar's employment agreement, the following terms have
the following meanings:
"CAUSE" means the executive's (i) conviction of, plea of guilty or nolo
contendre to, or confession of guilt of, a felony or criminal act involving
moral turpitude (ii) commission of a fraudulent, illegal or dishonest act (which
dishonest act results in material damage to us) in respect of us, (iii) willful
misconduct or gross negligence that reasonably could be expected to be injurious
in our reasonable discretion to our business, operations or reputation
(monetarily or otherwise), (iv) material violation of our policies or procedures
in effect from time to time, subject to applicable cure periods after written
notice thereof, (v) after a written warning and a reasonable opportunity to cure
non-performance, continued failure to perform the executive's duties as assigned

employment agreement.

by us that results in a material diminution in the executive's title, position,

to certain exceptions; (iii) any move of our offices that would require the
executive to commute more than 10 miles more each way than such executive
commutes immediately prior to such move; or (iv) any material reduction in the
amount of our director and officer liability insurance coverage in effect as of
the consummation of our initial public offering.
"CHANGE IN CONTROL" means (i) any person becomes the "beneficial owner" (as

of any instruments as of the consummation of our initial public offering will
not be deemed a "change of control;" (ii) our merger or consolidation with any
other corporation, other than a merger or consolidation which would result in

represent at least fifty percent (50%) of the total voting power represented by
the voting securities of our company or such surviving entity outstanding
immediately after such merger or consolidation; or (iii) the sale or disposition
by us of all or substantially all of our assets.
During the term of the employment agreement and for a period of 18 months
thereafter, subject to applicable law, the executive will be subject to
restrictions on competition with us and restrictions on the solicitation of our
customers and executive. For all periods during and after the term, the
executive will be subject to nondisclosure and confidentiality restrictions
relating to our confidential information and trade secrets.
Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code denies a corporation a deduction for
"excess parachute payments." Excess parachute payments generally consist of
payments to specified individuals that are contingent upon a change in ownership
or control of a corporation, or a change in a substantial portion of the
corporation's assets, and that exceed a statutorily determined base amount. In
the event that any payment, coverage or benefit provided under the employment
agreements would not be deemed to be deductible by us in whole or in part in the
calculation of the Federal income tax by reason of Section 280G of the Internal
Revenue Code, the aggregate payments, coverage or benefits provided under the
employment agreement will be reduced to the "safe harbor" level under Section
280G of the Internal Revenue Code so that the entire amount which is paid or
provided to the executive will be deductible notwithstanding the provisions of
Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code (except that such reduction shall not
occur if the amount of income, net of taxes, is greater by at least $10,000 in
the absence of such reduction). The "safe harbor" level under Section 280G of
the Internal Revenue Code is generally the amount that is less than three times
the average of five years of W-2 compensation.

AMENDMENTS TO EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS
On April, 7, 2009, as a condition to the closing of the Financing (as described
in our Annual Report on Form 10-K), Steven Gluckstern, the Company's Chairman,
President and Chief Executive Officer, Andre DiMino, the Company's Vice Chairman
and Executive Vice President-Manufacturing and Technology and Chief Technical
Officer, David Saloff, the Company's Executive Vice President-Sales and
Marketing and Chief Business Development Officer, and Alan Gallantar, the
Company's Chief Financial Officer and Executive Vice President, and certain
other employees entered into amendments to their employment agreements, (the
"Employment Agreement Amendments") under which the terms of the severance
arrangements were amended as set forth below. Under the terms of the Employment
Agreement Amendments, in the event such employee is terminated without Cause or
in the event of a termination by such employee for Good Reason (as each term is
defined in the applicable employment agreement) prior to the Maturity Date under
the Note, such employee will only be entitled to receive his base salary through
the Maturity Date and all other severance obligations for such termination
events would be deferred as discussed below. In addition, following the Maturity
Date, all other severance that such employee would be entitled to receive under
the terms of the applicable employment agreement would be deferred until certain
events under the Employment Agreement Amendments occurred. Under the terms of
the Employment Agreement Amendments, each employee would be entitled to receive
any severance payments that were deferred and his original severance provisions
would again become applicable in the event that either (i) the Company completes
a Qualified Financing prior to eighteen months from the closing of the Financing
in which at least 50% of the amount of gross proceeds received by the Company
are from investors other than the Lender or its affiliates or (ii) the Company
completes a sale or merger prior to eighteen months from the closing of the
Financing in which the Lender receives cash of at least 200% of the Conversion
Amount (as defined in the Note) (each a "Severance Condition Event"); provided,
however, that if (i) a Severance Condition Event does not occur prior to 18
months from the closing of the Financing or (ii) the Lender or any of its
affiliates purchase any equity or debt from the Company (other than under the
Loan Documents or in connection with a Qualified Financing), then the severance
provisions in the applicable employment agreements shall terminate and cease to
be of effect.
2009 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN
GENERAL
On February 26, 2009, our Board of Directors adopted the Ivivi Technologies,
Inc. 2009 Equity Incentive Plan (the "Equity Incentive Plan"), subject to the
approval of our shareholders, and voted to cease making any further stock option
grants under the Company's 2004 Amended and Restated Stock Option Plan, as
amended (the "2004 Plan"), subject to approval of our shareholders of the Equity
Incentive Plan. As of February 26, 2009, there were 959,345 shares of common
stock with respect to which options were available for grant under the 2004 Plan
which will no longer be granted under the 2004 Plan, subject to approval by our
shareholders of the Equity Incentive Plan.
Stock options granted under the 2004 Plan will continue in effect under the
terms and conditions of the 2004 Plan. The Equity Incentive Plan permits the
grant of stock options and, unlike the 2004 Plan, also permits the grant of
stock-settled stock appreciation rights and restricted and unrestricted stock
awards.
The general purpose of the Equity Incentive Plan is to provide an incentive to
our employees, directors and consultants, including employees and consultants of
any parent or subsidiary, by enabling them to share in the future growth of our
business. The Board of Directors believes that the granting of stock options and
other equity awards promotes continuity of management and increases incentive
and personal interest in our welfare by those who are primarily responsible for
shaping and carrying out our long range plans and securing our growth and
financial success.
The Board believes that the Equity Incentive Plan will advance our interests by
enhancing our ability to (a) attract and retain employees, directors and
consultants who are in a position to make significant contributions to our
success; (b) reward employees, directors and consultants for these
contributions; and (c) encourage employees, directors and consultants to take
into account our long-term interests through ownership of our shares.
DESCRIPTION OF THE EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN
On February 26, 2009, our Board of Directors adopted the Ivivi Technologies,
Inc. 2009 Equity Incentive Plan (the "Equity Incentive Plan"), which was
approved by our shareholders on March 31, 2009, and voted to cease making any
further stock option grants under the Company's 2004 Amended and Restated Stock
Option Plan, as amended (the "2004 Plan").
15
The general purpose of the Equity Incentive Plan is to provide an incentive to
our employees, directors and consultants, including employees and consultants of
any parent or subsidiary, by enabling them to share in the future growth of our
business. Our Board of Directors believes that the Equity Incentive Plan will
advance our interests by enhancing our ability to (a) attract and retain
employees, directors and consultants who are in a position to make significant
contributions to our success; (b) reward employees, directors and consultants
for these contributions; and (c) encourage employees, directors and consultants
to take into account our long-term interests through ownership of our shares.
The 2009 Equity Incentive Plan authorizes the Administrator to grant options
("Options") that are Incentive Stock Options within the meaning of Section 422
of the Code, Non-statutory Stock Options or a combination of both. In addition,
the 2009 Equity Incentive Plan authorizes the Administrator to grant Stock
Appreciation Rights ("SARs"), and Restricted and Unrestricted Stock Awards
("Awards").
Subject to adjustments set forth in the Equity Incentive Plan, the aggregate
number of shares of common stock available for issuance in connection with all
Options, SARs and Awards granted to employees and consultants under the Equity
Incentive Plan will be 3,750,000, in each case subject to customary adjustments
for stock splits, stock dividends or similar transactions. Incentive Stock
Options may be granted under the Equity Incentive Plan with respect to all of
those shares.
If any Option, SAR or Award granted under the 2009 Equity Incentive Plan
terminates without having been exercised in full or if any Award is forfeited,
the number of shares of common stock as to which such Option or SAR was not
exercised or Award has been forfeited shall be available for future grants
within certain limits under the Equity Incentive Plan. No employee, director or
consultant may receive Options or SARs relating to more than 2,000,000 shares of
common stock in the aggregate in any year.
Stock options granted under the 2004 Plan will continue in effect under the
terms and conditions of the 2004 Plan. The 2009 Equity Incentive Plan permits
the grant of stock options and, unlike the 2004 Plan, also permits the grant of
stock-settled stock appreciation rights and restricted and unrestricted stock
awards.
Except Non-employee Director Options, the grant of Options, SARs and Awards
under the 2009 Equity Incentive Plan is discretionary, and we cannot determine
now the number or type of options, rights or other awards to be granted in the
future to any particular person or group. However, upon approval of the 2009
Equity Incentive Plan by our shareholders, we entered into a restricted stock
award agreement with Mr. Gluckstern (the "Stock Award Agreement") on the terms
and conditions set forth below and upon such additional terms and conditions
determined by the Compensation Committee. The grant shall be for a number of
shares of restricted common stock which equals 10% of our outstanding common
stock on the date of grant or 1,124,103 restricted shares, of which (i) 160,586
restricted shares will vest over three years subject to Mr. Gluckstern's
continued employment with us, (ii) 321,172 restricted shares will vest if our
market capitalization reaches certain pre-established targets, as defined, or if
our common stock is no longer publicly traded and (iii) 642,345 restricted
shares will vest only if we successfully complete a financing or series of
financings up to an aggregate amount up to $20 million prior to December 31,
2010. The Stock Award Agreement would govern the grant of the awards
contemplated by the terms of Mr. Gluckstern's employment agreement. The Stock
Award Agreement will also provide for potential future issuances of unrestricted
stock and restricted stock units to Mr. Gluckstern, subject to any necessary
board and shareholder approval if an increase in the shares authorized under the
2009 Equity Incentive Plan is required. The potential future issuance of the
unrestricted stock and restricted stock units would be triggered in the event
that we successfully complete a financing or series of financings up to an
aggregate amount up to $20 million prior to December 31, 2010, and would be
designed as an equitable adjustment such that the number of shares of common
stock that may be received by Mr. Gluckstern will equal up to 10% of the
outstanding shares of our common stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
restricted shares set forth above will not vest nor will any equitable
adjustment be made for any financing (whether by debt, equity or otherwise) to
the extent the source of the financing is Mr. Gluckstern or any of his
affiliates or entities in which Mr. Gluckstern has an ownership interest.
The 2009 Equity Incentive Plan provides, as did the 2004 Plan, for automatic
grants of Non-statutory Stock Options to our non-employee directors. Upon
initial election or appointment to the Board and each year thereafter in which
the non-employee director serves on our Board of Directors, a non-employee
director will receive a Non-statutory Stock Option to purchase 20,000 shares of
common stock. In addition to the 1,124,103 restricted shares granted on March
31, 2009 to Mr. Gluckstern, 80,000 shares of common stock with respect to
options were granted on March 31, 2009 to our non-employee directors, at an
exercised price of $0.22 per share, expiring on March 30, 2019.
16
As of March 31, 2009, there were 2,545,897 shares of common stock with respect
to which Options, SARs and Awards were available for grant under the 2009 Equity
Incentive Plan after the 1,124,103 restricted shares and the 80,000 common stock
options were issued. As of March 31, 2009, the 855,420 shares of common stock
with respect to which options were available for grant under the 2004 Plan were
cancelled.
The following description of the principal terms of the Equity Incentive Plan is
a summary.
ADMINISTRATION. The Equity Incentive Plan provides that it may be administered
by the Board of Directors or by one or more committees appointed by the Board of
Directors (as the case may be, the "Administrator").
The Equity Incentive Plan was adopted by the Board and approved by our
stockholders on March 1, 2009 and has a term of ten years measured from the date
of its adoption. Accordingly, no grants may be made under the Equity Incentive
Plan after March 1, 2019, but the Equity Incentive Plan will continue thereafter
while previously granted options, rights and awards remain subject to the Equity
Incentive Plan.
TYPES OF OPTIONS AND OTHER AWARDS. The Equity Incentive Plan authorizes the
Administrator to grant options ("Options") that are Incentive Stock Options
within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code, Nonstatutory Stock Options or a
combination of both. In addition, the Equity Incentive Plan authorizes the
Administrator to grant Stock Appreciation Rights ("SARs"), and Restricted and
Unrestricted Stock Awards ("Awards").
The Equity Incentive Plan provides, as did the 2004 Plan, for automatic grants
of Nonstatutory Stock Options to our non-employee directors ("Non-employee
Director Options"). Upon initial election or appointment to the Board, a
non-employee director will receive a Nonstatutory Stock Option to purchase
20,000 shares of common stock. Each non-employee director also will receive a
Nonstatutory Stock Option to purchase 20,000 shares of common stock on the date
of each annual meeting of shareholders (but will not receive a grant in the same
calendar year as the initial grant of options unless the individual has served
on the board for the six months preceding the annual meeting).
ELIGIBILITY. All our officers, employees, directors and consultants and our
subsidiaries are eligible to receive Options, SARs, and Awards under the Equity
Incentive Plan (approximately 25 persons as of February 24, 2009). Other than
automatic grants of Non-employee Director Options, grants of Options, SARs, and
Awards under the Equity Incentive Plan are discretionary, and we are, except to
the extent indicated below, unable, at the present time, to determine the
identity or number of directors, officers and other employees who may be granted
Options, SARs, and Awards under the Equity Incentive Plan in the future.
SHARES SUBJECT TO THE EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN. Subject to adjustments set forth in
the Equity Incentive Plan, the aggregate number of shares of common stock
available for issuance in connection with all Options, SARs, and Awards granted
to employees and consultants under the Equity Incentive Plan will be 3,750,000,
in each case subject to customary adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends
or similar transactions. Incentive Stock Options may be granted under the Equity
Incentive Plan with respect to all of those shares.
If any Option, SAR or Award granted under the Equity Incentive Plan terminates
without having been exercised in full or if any Award is forfeited, the number
of shares of common stock as to which such Option or SAR was not exercised or
Award has been forfeited shall be available for future grants within certain
limits under the Equity Incentive Plan. No employee, director or consultant may
receive Options or SARs relating to more than 2,000,000 shares of common stock
in the aggregate in any year.
TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF OPTIONS. Except with respect to Non-employee Director
Options, the Administrator determines the exercise price of Options granted
under the Equity Incentive Plan. The exercise price of Options may not be less
than the fair market value, on the date of grant, per share of common stock
issuable upon exercise of the Option (or 110% of fair market value in the case
of Incentive Stock Options granted to a ten-percent stockholder). The exercise
price of Non-employee Director Options is the fair market value, on the date of
grant, per share of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Option.
If on the date of grant the common stock is listed on a stock exchange or is
quoted on the automated quotation system of Nasdaq, the fair market value shall
generally be the closing sale price on the date of grant (or, if no trades were
made on the date of grant, for the last trading day before the date of grant).
If no such prices are available, the fair market value shall be determined in
good faith by the Administrator based on the reasonable application of a
reasonable valuation method. On February 24, 2009, the closing sale price of a
share of common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market was $0.23.
17
No option may be exercisable for more than ten years (five years in the case of
an Incentive Stock Option granted to a ten-percent stockholder) from the date of
grant. Options (other than Non-employee Director Options) issued under the
Equity Incentive Plan will be exercisable at such time or times as the
Administrator prescribes at the time of grant. No employee may receive Incentive
Stock Options that first become exercisable in any calendar year in an amount
exceeding $100,000.
Generally, the option price may be paid (a) in cash or by certified check, (b)
through delivery of shares of common stock having a fair market value equal to
the purchase price, or (c) a combination of these methods. The Administrator
also is authorized to establish a cashless exercise program.
No Option may be transferred other than by will or by the laws of descent and
distribution, and during a recipient's lifetime an Option may be exercised only
by the recipient. Unless otherwise provided by the Administrator, Options that
are exercisable at the time of a recipient's termination of service with us will
continue to be exercisable for three months, unless the optionee terminates
employment or service with us due to death, disability or retirement in which
case the Option will be exercisable for a period of one year, or for cause, in
which case the Option will cease to be exercisable upon termination.
STOCK AWARDS. The Administrator also may grant an Award of restricted stock,
restricted stock units ("Restricted Stock Units") or unrestricted stock to any
eligible employee, consultant or director. Under a restricted stock Award,
shares of common stock that are the subject of the Award are generally subject
to forfeiture to the extent that the recipient terminates service with us prior
to the Award having vested or if the performance goals established by the
Administrator as a condition of vesting are not achieved. Shares of common stock
subject to a restricted stock Award cannot be sold, transferred, assigned,
pledged or otherwise encumbered or disposed of by the recipient of the award
unless and until the applicable restrictions lapse. Unless otherwise determined
by the Administrator, holders of restricted shares will have the right to vote
such shares and to receive any cash dividends with respect thereto during the
restriction period. Any stock dividends will be subject to the same restrictions
as the underlying shares of restricted stock.
Under a Restricted Stock Unit Award, Restricted Stock Units that are the subject
of the Award are generally subject to forfeiture to the extent that the
recipient terminates service with us prior to the Award having vested or if the
performance goals established by the Administrator as a condition of vesting are
not achieved. To the extent that the Award of Restricted Stock Units vests, the
recipient shall become entitled to receive a number of shares of common stock
equal to the number of Restricted Stock Units that became vested. Restricted
Stock Units cannot be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged or otherwise
encumbered or disposed of by the recipient of the award and during a recipient's
lifetime may be exercised only by the recipient. Prior to the delivery of shares
of common stock with respect to an Award of Restricted Stock Units, the
recipient shall have no rights as a shareholder of the Company.
Unrestricted stock Awards are grants of shares of common stock that are not
subject to forfeiture.
To the extent that the Administrator grants Awards that are subject to the
satisfaction of performance goals specified by the Administrator ("Performance
Awards"), the Administrator shall establish the specified levels of performance
goals. Performance goals may be weighted for different factors and measures. The
Administrator will have discretion to make adjustments to a Performance Award in
certain circumstances, such as when a person is promoted into a position of
eligibility for a Performance Award, is transferred between eligible positions
with different performance goals, terminates employment and is subsequently
rehired, takes a leave of absence, or other similar circumstances deemed
appropriate by the Administrator. The Administrator may also increase or
decrease an Award to any individual, except that, an Award intended to be
"qualified performance-based compensation" for purposes of Section 162(m) of the
Code, may not be increased. The Administrator will certify the degree of
attainment of performance goals after the end of each year.
18
If Awards are intended to satisfy the conditions for deductibility under Section
162(m) of the Code as "performance-based compensation," the performance criteria
will be selected from among the following, which may be applied to us as a
whole, or to an individual recipient, or to a department, unit, division or
function within our company or an affiliate, and they may apply on a pre- or
post-tax basis, either alone or relative to the performance of other businesses
or individuals (including industry or general market indices): (a) earnings
(either in the aggregate or on a per-share basis, reflecting dilution of shares
as the Administrator deems appropriate and, if the Administrator so determines,
net of or including dividends) before or after interest and taxes ("EBIT") or
before or after interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization ("EBITDA"); (b)
gross or net revenue or changes in annual revenues; (c) cash flow(s) (including
either operating or net cash flows); (d) financial return ratios; (e) total
stockholder return, stockholder return based on growth measures or the
attainment by the shares of a specified value for a specified period of time,
share price, or share price appreciation; (f) earnings growth or growth in
earnings per share; (g) return measures, including return or net return on
assets, net assets, equity, capital, investment, or gross sales; (h) adjusted
pre-tax margin; (i) pre-tax profits; (j) operating margins; (k) operating
profits; (l) operating expenses; (m) dividends; (n) net income or net operating
income; (o) growth in operating earnings or growth in earnings per share; (p)
value of assets; (q) market share or market penetration with respect to specific
designated products or product groups and/or specific geographic areas; (r)
aggregate product price and other product measures; (s) expense or cost levels,
in each case, where applicable, determined either on a company-wide basis or in
respect of any one or more specified divisions; (t) reduction of losses, loss
ratios or expense ratios; (u) reduction in fixed costs; (v) operating cost
management; (w) cost of capital; (x) debt reduction; (y) productivity
improvements; (z) average inventory turnover; or (aa) satisfaction of specified
business expansion goals or goals relating to acquisitions or divestitures.
STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS. A SAR may be granted by the Administrator either
alone, or in tandem with, Options or other Awards under the Equity Incentive
Plan. A SAR shall relate to such number of shares of common stock as the
Administrator determines. Each SAR will have an exercise period determined by
the Administrator not to exceed ten years from the date of grant. Upon exercise
of a SAR, the holder will receive a number of shares of common stock equal to
(i) the number of shares for which the SAR is exercised times the appreciation
in the fair market value of a share of common stock between the date the SAR was
granted and its date of exercise; divided by (ii) the fair market value of a
share of common stock on the date that the SAR is exercised.
EFFECT OF CERTAIN CORPORATE TRANSACTIONS. In the event that we liquidate or
dissolve, to the extent not previously exercised or settled, and unless
otherwise determined by the Administrator, Options and SARs shall terminate
immediately prior to the liquidation or dissolution. In the event that we merge
or consolidate with another corporation, or if we sell substantially all of our
assets, or if a person or entity or a group of persons and/or entities acting in
concert becomes the beneficial owner of more than 50% of our outstanding
securities (any of the foregoing, a "Corporate Transaction"), then except as
otherwise provided in the applicable grant agreement, each Option or SAR will
either be assumed or substituted by the successor corporation. If the successor
corporation refuses to assume the Options and/or SARs, the Options and/or SARs
will become fully vested and exercisable for a specified period, and then
terminate. In the event of a Corporate Transaction in which the successor
corporation does not assume or substitute each outstanding Award, unless
otherwise provided in the Award agreement, all vesting periods and conditions
under the Award will be deemed to be satisfied.
AMENDMENT, TERMINATION. The Equity Incentive Plan may be amended or terminated
at any time by the Board, except that no amendment may be made without
shareholder approval if such approval is required by Rule 16b-3 promulgated
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or other applicable law,
and no amendment or revision may alter or impair an outstanding Option, SAR or
Award without the consent of the holder thereof.
FEDERAL INCOME CONSEQUENCES
Following is a summary of the federal income tax consequences of Option and
other grants under the Equity Incentive Plan. Optionees and recipients of SARs
and/or Awards granted under the Equity Incentive Plan are advised to consult
their personal tax advisors before exercising an Option, SAR or Award or
disposing of any stock received pursuant to the exercise of an Option, SAR or
Award. In addition, the following summary is based upon an analysis of the Code
as currently in effect, existing laws, judicial decisions, administrative
rulings, regulations and proposed regulations, all of which are subject to
change and does not address state, local or other tax laws.
19
TREATMENT OF OPTIONS
The Code treats Incentive Stock Options and Nonstatutory Stock Options
differently. However, as to both types of Options, no income will be recognized
to the optionee at the time of the grant of the options under the Equity
Incentive Plan, nor will we be entitled to a tax deduction at that time.
Generally, upon exercise of a Nonstatutory Stock Option, an optionee will
recognize ordinary income tax on the excess of the fair market value of the
stock on the exercise date over the option price. We will be entitled to a tax
deduction in an amount equal to the ordinary income recognized by the optionee
in the fiscal year which includes the end of the optionee's taxable year. We
will be required to satisfy applicable withholding requirements in order to be
entitled to a tax deduction. In general, if an optionee, in exercising a
Nonstatutory Stock Option, tenders shares of our common stock in partial or full
payment of the option price, no gain or loss will be recognized on the tender.
However, if the tendered shares were previously acquired upon the exercise of an
Incentive Stock Option and the tender is within two years from the date of grant
or one year after the date of exercise of the Incentive Stock Option, the tender
will be a disqualifying disposition of the shares acquired upon exercise of the
Incentive Stock Option.
For Incentive Stock Options, there is no taxable income to an optionee at the
time of exercise. However, the excess of the fair market value of the stock on
the date of exercise over the exercise price will be taken into account in
determining whether the "alternative minimum tax" will apply for the year of
exercise. If the shares acquired upon exercise are held until at least two years
from the date of grant and more than one year from the date of exercise, any
gain or loss upon the sale of such shares, if held as capital assets, will be
long-term capital gain or loss (measured by the difference between the sales
price of the stock and the exercise price). Under current federal income tax
law, a long-term capital gain will be taxed at a rate which is less than the
maximum rate of tax on ordinary income. If the two-year and one year holding
period requirements are not met (a "disqualifying disposition"), an optionee
will recognize ordinary income in the year of disposition in an amount equal to
the lesser of (i) the fair market value of the stock on the date of exercise
minus the exercise price or (ii) the amount realized on disposition minus the
exercise price. The remainder of the gain will be treated as long-term capital
gain, depending upon whether the stock has been held for more than a year. If an
optionee makes a disqualifying disposition, we will be entitled to a tax
deduction equal to the amount of ordinary income recognized by the optionee.
In general, if an optionee, in exercising an Incentive Stock Option, tenders
shares of common stock in partial or full payment of the option price, no gain
or loss will be recognized on the tender. However, if the tendered shares were
previously acquired upon the exercise of another incentive stock option and the
tender is within two years from the date of grant or one year after the date of
exercise of the other option, the tender will be a disqualifying disposition of
the shares acquired upon exercise of the other option.
As noted above, the exercise of an Incentive Stock Option could subject an
optionee to the alternative minimum tax. The application of the alternative
minimum tax to any particular optionee depends upon the particular facts and
circumstances which exist with respect to the optionee in the year of exercise.
However, as a general rule, the amount by which the fair market value of the
common stock on the date of exercise of an option exceeds the exercise price of
the option will constitute an item of "adjustment" for purposes of determining
the alternative minimum taxable income on which the alternative tax may be
imposed. As such, this item will enter into the tax base on which the
alternative minimum tax is computed, and may therefore cause the alternative
minimum tax to become applicable in any given year.
TREATMENT OF STOCK AWARDS
Generally, absent an election to be taxed currently under Section 83(b) of the
Code (a "Section 83(b) Election"), there will be no federal income tax
consequences to either the recipient or us upon the grant of a restricted stock
Award. At the expiration of the restriction period and the satisfaction of any
other restrictions applicable to the restricted shares, the recipient will
recognize ordinary income and we generally will be entitled to a corresponding
deduction equal to the fair market value of the common stock at that time. If a
Section 83(b) Election is made within 30 days after the date the restricted
stock Award is granted, the recipient will recognize an amount of ordinary
income at the time of the receipt of the restricted shares, and we generally
will be entitled to a corresponding deduction, equal to the fair market value
(determined without regard to applicable restrictions) of the shares at such
time. If a Section 83(b) Election is made, no additional income will be
recognized by the recipient upon the lapse of restrictions on the shares (and
prior to the sale of such shares), but, if the shares are subsequently
forfeited, the recipient may not deduct the income that was recognized pursuant
to the Section 83(b) Election at the time of the receipt of the shares.
20
The recipient of a Restricted Stock Unit Award will recognize ordinary income as
and when the units vest. The amount of the income will be equal to the fair
market value of the shares of the common stock issued at that time, and the
Company will be entitled to a corresponding deduction. The recipient of a
Restricted Stock Unit Award will not be permitted to make a Section 83(b)
Election with respect to such Award.
The recipient of an Unrestricted Stock Award will recognize ordinary income, and
we generally will be entitled to a corresponding deduction, equal to the fair
market value of the common stock at the time the Award is made.
TREATMENT OF STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS
Generally, the recipient of a SAR will not recognize any income upon grant of
the SAR, nor will we be entitled to a deduction at that time. Upon exercise of
the SAR, the holder will recognize ordinary income, and we generally will be
entitled to a corresponding deduction, equal to the fair market value of the
common stock at that time.
POTENTIAL LIMITATION ON COMPANY DEDUCTIONS
Code Section 162(m) denies a deduction to any publicly held corporation for
compensation paid to certain "covered employees" in a taxable year to the extent
that compensation exceeds $1 million for a covered employee. It is possible that
compensation attributable to Options granted in the future under the Equity
Incentive Plan, when combined with all other types of compensation received by a
covered employee from us, may cause this limitation to be exceeded in any
particular year. Certain kinds of compensation, including qualified
"performance-based compensation," are disregarded for purposes of the deduction
limitation. In accordance with Treasury regulations issued under Code Section
162(m), compensation attributable to options will qualify as performance-based
compensation, provided that: (i) the stock award plan contains a per-employee
limitation on the number of shares for which stock options may be granted during
a specified period; (ii) the per-employee limitation is approved by the
stockholders; (iii) the award is granted by a compensation committee comprised
solely of "outside directors"; and (iv) the exercise price of the award is no
less than the fair market value of the stock on the date of grant.
TAX WITHHOLDING
We, as and when appropriate, shall have the right to require each optionee
purchasing shares of common stock and each grantee receiving an Award of shares
of common stock to pay any federal, state or local taxes required by law to be
withheld.
EQUITY GRANTS
Except Non-employee Director Options, the grant of Options, SARs and Awards
under the Equity Incentive Plan is discretionary, and we cannot determine now
the number or type of options, rights or other awards to be granted in the
future to any particular person or group. Pursuant to a restricted stock
agreement between us and Mr. Gluckstern (the "Stock Award Agreement"), Mr.
Gluckstern was awarded 1,124,103 restricted shares. The total number of
restricted shares are divided as follows: (i) 160,586 restricted shares will
vest over three years subject to Mr. Gluckstern's continued employment with us,
(ii) 321,172 restricted shares will vest if our market capitalization reaches
certain pre-established targets set forth in the Stock Award Agreement or if our
common stock is no longer publicly traded and (iii) 642,345 restricted shares
will vest only if we successfully complete a financing or series of financings
up to an aggregate amount up to $20 million prior to December 31, 2010. The
Stock Award Agreement governs the grant of the awards contemplated by the terms
of Mr. Gluckstern's employment agreement. The Stock Award Agreement also
provides for potential future issuances of unrestricted stock and restricted
stock units to Mr. Gluckstern, subject to any necessary board and shareholder
approval if an increase in the shares authorized under the 2009 Equity Incentive
Plan is required. The potential future issuance of the unrestricted stock and
restricted stock units would be triggered in the event that we successfully
complete a financing or series of financings up to an aggregate amount up to $20
million prior to December 31, 2010, and would be designed as an equitable
adjustment such that the number of shares of common stock that may be received
by Mr. Gluckstern will equal up to 10% of the outstanding shares of our common
stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the restricted shares set forth in (c)
will not vest nor will any equitable adjustment be made for any financing
(whether by debt, equity or otherwise) to the extent the source of the financing
is Mr. Gluckstern or any of his affiliates or entities in which Mr. Gluckstern
has an ownership interest.
21
In addition, Mr. Saloff will be granted equity incentive awards during the
fiscal years ending March 31, 2009, 2010 and 2011 as determined by the
Compensation Committee. The 2009 grant will have a value at the time of grant,
as determined by the Compensation Committee, equal to 75% of his then current
annual base salary. The 2010 and 2011 grants will have a value at the time of
grant equal to 50% of his then current annual base salary. With respect to each
grant, 50% of the grant will vest over time subject to his continued employment
with us, and 50% will vest subject to the attainment of pre-established
performance goals to be established by the Compensation Committee. Mr. DiMino
also will be granted equity incentive awards during the fiscal years ending
March 31, 2009, 2010 and 2011 as determined by the Compensation Committee. The
2009 grant will have a value as of the date of grant, as determined by the
Compensation Committee, equal to 75% of his then current annual base salary. The
2010 and 2011 grants will have a value as of the date of grant equal to 50% of
his then current annual base salary. With respect to each grant other than the
initial option grant, 50% of the grant will vest over time subject to his
continued employment with us, and 50% will vest subject to the attainment of
pre-established performance goals to be established by the Compensation
Committee.
2004 AMENDED AND RESTATED STOCK OPTION PLAN
In February 2005, our board of directors and shareholders adopted the 2004
Amended and Restated Stock Option Plan, which was amended and restated in
February 2005, November 2005 and May 2006 and amended in February 2007 and
October 2007. The purpose of the 2004 Amended and Restated Stock Option Plan is
to advance our interests by encouraging and enabling the acquisition of a
personal financial interest in us for those employees and directors whose
judgment and efforts we are largely dependent on for the successful conduct of
our operations, and by those consultants, agents, independent contractors,
advisors, professionals and other third parties whose contributions to our
welfare may be recompensed in a manner that provides an ownership interest in
us. An additional purpose of this Plan is to provide a means by which our
employees and directors can acquire and maintain ownership in us, thereby
strengthening their commitment to our success and their desire to remain in our
employ. In furtherance of that purpose, the 2004 Amended and Restated Stock
Option Plan authorizes the grant to our directors, executives and other key
employees and consultants of incentive and/or non-qualified stock options.
The maximum number of shares of our common stock with respect to which options
may be granted pursuant to the 2004 Amended and Restated Stock Option Plan is
3,750,000, 1,934,975 shares of which have been granted at per share exercise
prices ranging from $.031 to $6.00. No participant may be granted options that
exceed the number of shares issuable under the plan during any fiscal year.
Shares issuable under the 2004 Amended and Restated Stock Option Plan may be
either treasury shares or authorized but un-issued shares. The number of shares
available for issuance will be subject to adjustment to prevent dilution in the
event of stock splits, stock dividends or other changes in our capitalization.
If an option is forfeited or expires without having been exercised, the shares
subject to such option will again be available for issuance under the Plan.
The 2004 Amended and Restated Stock Option Plan will be administered by a
committee consisting of not less than two (2) members of the Board of Directors
who are directors who are not also employees of Ivivi, or in the absence of such
committee, the entire Board. The Board has designated its compensation committee
as administrator of the 2004 Amended and Restated Stock Option Plan. Except for
certain options granted to non-employee directors (see "Director Options" and
"Committee Chairman Options" below), the Committee will determine the persons to
whom options will be granted, the type of option and the number of shares to be
covered by the option.
TYPES OF OPTIONS
STOCK OPTIONS. Options granted under the 2004 Amended and Restated Stock Option
Plan may be "incentive stock options" ("Incentive Options") or stock options
which are not incentive stock options ("Non-Qualified Options" and, collectively
with Incentive Options, hereinafter referred to as "Options"). Incentive Options
generally provide the employee with more effective tax treatment if the
requirements described in the 2004 Amended and Restated Stock Option Plan are
satisfied by the holder of the option. The Committee may determine the number of
shares subject to each Option and the prices at which Options may be exercised
(which, in the case of Incentive Options, shall not be less than the Fair Market
Value, as defined by the Plan, of our common stock on the date of grant).
Whether an Option will be an Incentive Option or a Non-Qualified Option, the
time or times and the extent to which Options may be exercised, and all other
terms and conditions of Options, will be determined by the Committee.
22
Each Incentive Option shall terminate no later than ten years from the date of
grant, (five years in the case of an Incentive Option granted to a person
possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all shares of our
stock or of a parent or subsidiary of ours ("10% Stockholder")). The exercise
price at which the shares may be purchased with respect to Incentive Options may
not be less than the Fair Market Value of shares of our common stock at the time
the Option is granted (and not less than 110% of the Fair Market Value at the
time the Option is granted with respect to Incentive Options granted to a 10%
Stockholder. The exercise price at which the shares may be purchased with
respect to Non-Qualified Options may not be less than 85% of the Fair Market
Value of shares of our common stock at the time the Option is granted. The
exercise price of the shares to be purchased pursuant to each Option shall be
paid in full in cash, by tendering other shares of our common stock, owned by
the optionee, or such other method as may be authorized by the Committee.
DIRECTOR OPTIONS. Each non-employee director (other than Steven Gluckstern in
his capacity as Chairman of the Board) was automatically granted Non-Qualified
Options ("Director Options") to acquire 20,000 shares of our common stock upon
the consummation of our initial public offering and was granted an additional
20,000 shares of our common stock each on October 1, 2007 and March 31, 2009,
the dates of our annual meetings of stockholders. The exercise price at which
the shares may be purchased with respect to Director Options may not be less
than the Fair Market Value of shares of our common stock at the time the Option
is granted. Each Director Option shall terminate ten years from the date of
grant. Director options shall vest as to one-third of the shares subject to the
option upon the date of grant, and one-third upon each of the first and second
anniversaries of the date of grant.
COMMITTEE CHAIRMAN OPTIONS. Non-Qualified Options ("Committee Chairman Options")
may be granted from time to time to each non-employee director that serves as a
chairman of our audit committee, compensation committee or nominating and
corporate governance committee. The exercise price at which the shares may be
purchased with respect to Committee Chairman Options may not be less than the
Fair Market Value of shares of our common stock at the time the Committee
Chairman Option is granted. Each Committee Chairman Option shall terminate ten
years from the date of grant. Committee Chairman Options shall vest as to
one-third of the shares subject to the option upon the date of grant, and
one-third upon each of the first and second anniversaries of the date of grant.
CORPORATE TRANSACTIONS. Upon a Corporate Transaction (as defined), any option
carrying a right to exercise that was not previously exercisable shall become
fully exercisable, except in certain circumstances were the options are assumed
by the successor company.
TRANSFERS. Options granted under the 2004 Amended and Restated Stock Option Plan
may not be transferred, pledged, mortgaged, hypothecated or otherwise encumbered
other than by will or under the laws of descent and distribution, except that
the Committee may permit transfers of options for estate planning purposes.
AMENDMENTS AND TERMINATIONS. The Board may amend, alter, suspend, discontinue or
terminate the 2004 Amended and Restated Stock Option Plan at any time, except
that any such action shall be subject to shareholder approval at the annual
meeting next following such Board action if such shareholder approval is
required by federal or state law or regulation or the rules of any exchange or
automated quotation system on which our common stock may then be listed or
quoted, or if the Board of Directors otherwise determines to submit such action
for shareholder approval. In addition, no amendment, alteration, suspension,
discontinuation or termination to the 2004 Amended and Restated Stock Option
Plan may materially impair the rights of any participant with respect to any
option without such participant's consent. Unless terminated earlier by action
of the Board of Directors, the 2004 Amended and Restated Stock Option Plan shall
terminate on January 5, 2014.
COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS
Until October 18, 2006, our directors did not receive compensation for serving
on our Board of Directors, but were entitled receive reimbursement for travel
and related expenses. From and after October 18, 2006, for each year of service
as a director of our company, each non-employee director (other than Steven
Gluckstern in his capacity as our Chairman of the Board, as discussed below)
will receive $10,000 ($2,500 per fiscal quarter). In addition, each non-employee
director (other than Steven Gluckstern in his capacity as our Chairman of the
Board) will receive non-qualified options to purchase 20,000 shares of our
common stock when such person is initially elected to our Board of Directors,
and for each year of service as a director of our company thereafter, options to
purchase 20,000 shares of our common stock, in each case at an exercise price
per share equal to the fair market value price per share of our common stock on
the grant date. Each of such options will fully vest one-third on the date of
grant and one-third upon each of the first and second anniversaries of the date
of grant.
23
On October 18, 2006, Steven Gluckstern, who began to serve as our Chairman of
the Board at such time, received options to purchase 775,000 shares of our
common stock at an exercise price equal to $5.11 per share, one-third of which
options vested upon the date of grant and one-third of which will vest on each
one-year anniversary thereafter. Such options will expire on the tenth
anniversary of the date of grant.
The following table provides certain information with respect to the
compensation earned by our non-employee directors during the fiscal year ended
March 31, 2009.

CONSULTING AGREEMENTS
We have entered into various consulting agreements in exchange for cash and
share based compensation with individuals and companies to assist in our
research and development, sales and marketing and administration. These
agreements are not with specific research and development facilities discussed
within Research and Development in our Form 10-K. Consulting expense totaled
$1,101,747 and $1,686,807 for the years ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 (including
share based compensation), respectively. Certain of the agreements contain
automatic renewal provisions. We intend to spend approximately $923,750
(excluding share based compensation) during our fiscal year ending March 31,
2010 on these consulting agreements. The dollar amount of our commitments
(excluding share based compensation) under our consulting agreements extending
beyond our fiscal year ending March 31, 2009 is approximately $878,767.
During the year ended March 31, 2009, we issued two Common Stock Purchase
Warrants ("CSPWs") to Mr. Eric Hanson, a consultant to us, each of which,
entitle the holder to purchase up to 2% of our outstanding shares of Common
Stock. The CSPWs have an initial exercise price equal to $0.45 per share. One
CSPW for 215,339 shares is currently exercisable and the other CSWP shall be
exercisable following our successful completion of a financing, if any, as
defined in the CSPW agreement. The number of shares issuable upon exercise of
the second CSPW will be adjusted such that the holder will have the right to
purchase, together with the first CSPW, 4% of our outstanding common stock
following our successful completion of a financing, if any, as defined in the
CSPW agreement. In addition, the holder shall be entitled to equitable
adjustments to maintain such 4% interest. The CSPWs have a term of ten years and
expire on September 29, 2018. During our fiscal year ended March 31, 2009, we
recorded and expense in the amount of $96,684 related to these CSPWs.
Also during the year ended March 31, 2009, we issued 15,000 CSPWs to Dr. Edward
Martin and 15,000 CSPWs to Dr. John Parker for consulting services. The CSPWs
have an initial exercise price equal to $2.10 per share. The CSPWs have a term
of five years and expire on June 26, 2013. During our fiscal year ended March
31, 2009, we recorded an expense in the amount of $28,447 related to these
warrants.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS AND DIRECTOR
INDEPENDENCE
CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
We have entered into a management service agreement and a manufacturing
agreement with ADM Unlimited, Inc., our largest shareholder, each of which is
described below. In addition, some of our officers and directors are also
officers and directors of ADM. These relationships may cause conflicts of
interests to arise between us and ADM.
MANAGEMENT SERVICES AGREEMENT
We entered into a management services agreement, dated as of August 15, 2001,
with ADM under which ADM provides us and its subsidiaries, Sonotron Medical
Systems, Inc. and Pegasus Laboratories, Inc., with management services and
allocates portions of its real property facilities for use by us and the other
subsidiaries for the conduct of our respective businesses.
The management services provided by ADM under the management services agreement
include administrative, technical, engineering and regulatory services with
respect to our products. We pay ADM for such services on a monthly basis
pursuant to an allocation determined by ADM based on a portion of its applicable
costs plus any invoices it receives from third parties specific to us. As we
have added employees to our marketing and sales staff and administrative staff
following the consummation of initial public offering, our reliance on the use
of the management services of ADM has been reduced.
We also use office, manufacturing and storage space in a building located in
Northvale, NJ, currently leased by ADM, pursuant to the terms of the management
services agreement to which we, ADM and two of ADM's subsidiaries are parties.
Pursuant to the management services agreement, ADM determines, on a monthly
basis, the portion of space utilized by us during such month, which may vary
from month to month based upon the amount of inventory being stored by us and
areas used by us for research and development, and we reimburse ADM for our
portion of the lease costs, real property taxes and related costs based upon the
portion of space utilized by us. We have incurred $28,782 and $42,360 for the
use of such space during the fiscal years ended March 31, 2009 and 2008,
respectively.
ADM determines the portion of space allocated to us and each subsidiary on a
monthly basis, and we and the other subsidiaries are required to reimburse ADM
for our respective portions of the lease costs, real property taxes and related
costs.
We have incurred $68,934 and $198,246 for management services and the use of
real property provided to us by ADM pursuant to the management services
agreement during the fiscal years ended March 31, 2009 and March 31, 2008,
respectively.
MANUFACTURING AGREEMENT
We, ADM and one subsidiary of ADM, Sonotron Medical Systems, Inc., are parties
to a second amended and restated manufacturing agreement. Under the terms of the
agreement, ADM has agreed to serve as the exclusive manufacturer of all current
and future medical and non-medical electronic and other devices or products to
be sold or rented by us. For each product that ADM manufactures for us, we pay
ADM an amount equal to 120% of the sum of (i) the actual, invoiced cost for raw
materials, parts, components or other physical items that are used in the
manufacture of the product and actually purchased for us by ADM, if any, plus
(ii) a labor charge based on ADM's standard hourly manufacturing labor rate,
which we believe is more favorable than could be attained from unaffiliated
third-parties. We generally purchase and provide ADM with all of the raw
materials, parts and components necessary to manufacture our products and as a
result, the manufacturing fee we pay to ADM generally is 120% of the labor rate
charged by ADM. On April 1, 2007, we instituted a procedure whereby ADM invoices
us for finished goods at ADM's costs plus 20%.
28
Under the terms of the agreement, if ADM is unable to perform its obligations
under our manufacturing agreement or is otherwise in breach of any provision of
our manufacturing agreement, we have the right, without penalty, to engage third
parties to manufacture some or all of our products. In addition, if we elect to
utilize a third-party manufacturer to supplement the manufacturing being
completed by ADM, we have the right to require ADM to accept delivery of our
products from these third-party manufacturers, finalize the manufacture of the
products to the extent necessary and ensure that the design, testing, control,
documentation and other quality assurance procedures during all aspects of the
manufacturing process have been met. Although we believe that there are a number
of third-party manufacturers available to us, we cannot assure you that we would
be able to secure another manufacturer on terms favorable to us or at all or how
long it will take us to secure such manufacturing. The initial term of the
agreement expires on March 31, 2009, subject to automatic renewals for
additional one-year periods, and which was renewed through March 31, 2010,
unless either party provides three months' prior written notice to the other
prior to the end of the relevant term of its desire to terminate the agreement.
We purchased $546,874 and $906,827 of finished goods and certain components from
ADM at contracted rates during the fiscal years ended March 31, 2009 and 2008,
respectively.
SERVICES AGREEMENT
Effective February 1, 2008, we entered into an agreement to share certain
information technology (IT) costs with ADM. During the fiscal years ended March
31, 2009 and 2008, there have been no cost reimbursements under this agreement.
Effective August 1, 2009, we will enter into an agreement with ADM to provide
the following services which will cancel the IT services agreement dated
February 1, 2008:
1. ADM will provide us with engineering services, including quality
control and quality assurance services along with regulatory compliance
services warehouse fulfillment services and network administration
services including hardware and software services.
2. ADM will be paid at the rate of $26,000 per month by us for these
services and the four full time engineers and three part time engineers
currently employed by us will be terminated by us. It is expected that
these four full time engineers will be employed by ADM.
3. The services agreement may be cancelled by either party upon sixty days
notice.
STOCK ISSUANCES AND VOTING AGREEMENT
In January 2004, we issued an aggregate of 186,875 and 398,125 shares of our
common stock to Andre' DiMino, our Vice Chairman and Co-Chief Executive Officer,
and David Saloff, our President and Co-Chief Executive Officer, respectively. Of
the shares of our common stock issued to Mr. Saloff, 211,575 of the shares are
subject to forfeiture and vest in equal yearly installments on January 5 of each
year through January 5, 2009. In addition, all of the shares issued to Mr.
Saloff are subject to a voting agreement among Mr. DiMino, Mr. Saloff, Edward
Hammel, our Executive Vice President, Sean Hagberg, Ph.D., our Chief Science
Officer, Arthur Pilla, Ph.D., one of our consultants, our Science Director and
the Chairman of our Scientific Advisory Board, Berish Strauch, M.D., one of our
consultants and a member of our Medical Advisory Board, and Fifth Avenue Capital
Partners, one of our shareholders. Under the voting agreement, in addition to
the shares of common stock beneficially owned by Mr. DiMino, Mr. DiMino has the
right to vote the shares of common stock held by such shareholders,
representing, as of August 15, 2007, an aggregate of 1,772,225 additional shares
of our common stock (including shares underlying options held by such
shareholders that are exercisable within 60 days of the date hereof). The voting
agreement, with respect to shares of common stock, and shares of common stock
underlying options, held by all of the shareholders party thereto, will expire
on October 24, 2009. Mr. DiMino shall continue to have the right to vote an
additional 349,375 shares of our common stock held by Fifth Avenue Capital
Partners indefinitely unless otherwise agreed to by Mr. DiMino and such
shareholder.
29
SHARE PURCHASE AGREEMENT
On November 8, 2005, each of Andre' DiMino, David Saloff, Edward Hammel, Sean
Hagberg, Ph.D. and Arthur Pilla, Ph.D., granted Steven Gluckstern, our Chairman
of the Board, the right to purchase up to 16,250, 30,875, 8,125, 8,125 and
17,875 shares of common stock, respectively, at an exercise price per share
equal to the lesser of (i) the initial public offering price per share and (ii)
$5.11 (subject to adjustment for any recapitalization, stock-split or other
similar event); provided, however, that if an initial public offering of our
common stock was not consummated on or before May 8, 2006, the exercise price
per share would be $4.31 and be decreased by $.31 each month after May 8, 2006
until the earlier to occur of (i) November 8, 2006 and (ii) the date a
registration statement with respect to an initial public offering of our common
stock was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission; provided
further, however, that in no event would the exercise price be less than $1.00
per share. Since the consummation of our initial public offering occurred on
October 24, 2006, the exercise price is $2.76 per share. These purchase rights
are exercisable at any time and from time to time during the period from
November 8, 2005 to November 8, 2010.
We believe that all of the transactions set forth above were made on terms no
less favorable to us than could have been obtained from unaffiliated third
parties. At the time of the above referenced transactions, we did not have
sufficient disinterested directors to approve or ratify such transactions.
However, all such transactions have been reviewed by the audit committee of our
Board of Directors and ratified by them. All future transactions between us and
our officers, directors and principal shareholders and their affiliates will be
on terms no less favorable than could be obtained from unaffiliated third
parties and will be approved by our audit committee or another independent
committee of our Board of Directors.
FINANCING
On April 7, 2009, we closed on a $2.5 million loan (the "Financing") with
Emigrant Capital Corp. (the "Lender"). Under the terms of the loan agreement
between us and the Lender (the "Loan Agreement"), we borrowed $1.0 million at
closing and borrowed $500,000 on May 1, 2009, $500,000 on June 1, 2009 and
$500,000 on July 1, 2009. Borrowings under the Financing are evidenced by a note
(the "Note") and shall bear interest at a rate of 12% per annum (which would
increase to 18% in the event of a default) and shall mature on the earlier of
(i) a subsequent financing of equity (or debt that is convertible into equity)
by us of at least $5.0 million, where at least $3.5 million is from
non-affiliates of the Company and for this purpose, the Lender is deemed to be a
non-affiliate (a "Qualified Financing") and (ii) July 31, 2009 (the "Maturity
Date"); provided that we shall have the right to extend such maturity date for
an additional 30 days if it has cash and cash equivalents of at least $1.0
million on the date of such requested extension. In the event we complete a
Qualified Financing prior to the Maturity Date, then the holder of the Note
shall have the right to elect to either (i) have the principal and interest on
the Note repaid by the Company or (ii) convert the principal amount of and all
accrued interest on the Note into the securities sold by the Company in such
Qualified Financing at the lowest price per share paid by purchasers in the
Qualified Financing. In the event the Company is unable to complete a Qualified
Financing by the Maturity Date, then the holder shall have the right to convert
the Note into shares of the Company's common stock, without par value (the
"Common Stock"), at an initial conversion price equal to $0.23 per share (the
"Conversion Price"). In addition, if (a) an event of default occurs under the
Note or (b) on or prior to the Maturity Date, the Company (i) merges or
consolidates with another person (other than a merger effected solely for the
purpose of changing its jurisdiction of incorporation), (ii) issues, sells or
transfers shares of its capital stock (or any holder of such shares issues,
sells or transfers shares of its capital stock) which results in the holders of
its capital stock immediately prior to such issuance, selling, transferring or
ceasing to continue to hold at least 51% by voting power of its capital stock,
(iii) sells, leases, abandons, transfers or otherwise disposes of all or
substantially all its assets or (iv) liquidates, dissolves or winds up the
Company's business, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, then the holder shall
have the right to convert the Note into shares of the Common Stock at the
Conversion Price.
The Loan Agreement and the Note contain customary affirmative and negative
covenants and events of default. Borrowings under the Note are secured by a
first lien on all of our assets. Proceeds from the Financing are being used for
working capital. In connection with the Financing, we issued warrants to the
lender (the "Warrants"). In the event we are unable to complete the Qualified
Financing prior to the Maturity Date, then the Lender has the right to exercise
such Warrants into that number of shares of Common Stock equal to the portion of
the $2.5 million principal amount of the loan then outstanding divided by the
Conversion Price and the Warrants would be exercisable at the Conversion Price;
provided, however that in the event we complete a Qualified Financing, then the
holder of the Warrants will thereafter have the right to exercise the Warrants
for such number of securities sold by us in such Qualified Financing that could
have been acquired by the lender based on the $2.5 million principal amount of
the loan at an exercise price equal to the price of the securities sold in the
Qualified Financing. In the event that we extend the Maturity Date as set forth
above, then the Warrants will be exercisable for an additional $500,000 worth of
securities. The Warrants also provide for cashless exercise.
30
In addition to customary mechanical adjustments with respect to stock splits,
reverse stock splits, recapitalizations, stock dividends, stock combinations and
similar events, the Note and the Warrants provide for certain "weighted average
anti-dilution" adjustments whereby if shares of the Common Stock or other
securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of the
Common Stock (such other securities, including, without limitation, convertible
notes, options, stock purchase rights and warrants, "Convertible Securities")
are issued by the Company other than in connection with certain excluded
securities (as defined in the Note and the Warrant and which include a Qualified
Financing and stock awards under our 2009 Equity Incentive Stock Plan), the
conversion price of the Note and the Warrants will be reduced to reflect the
"dilutive" effect of each such issuance (or deemed issuance upon conversion,
exercise or exchange of such Convertible Securities) of the Common Stock
relative to the holders of the Note and the Warrants.
In connection with "dilutive" issuances (as described above) other than certain
excluded securities, the conversion price of the Note and exercise price of the
Warrants in effect immediately prior to a dilutive issuance will be reduced to
an amount equal to the quotient determined by dividing (A) the sum of (i)(a) the
product derived by multiplying the conversion price in effect immediately prior
to such dilutive issuance and (b) the sum of the number of shares of the Common
Stock outstanding immediately prior to such dilutive issuance plus the number of
shares of the Common Stock deemed to be outstanding assuming the exercise,
exchange and conversion of all of our outstanding Convertible Securities for the
maximum number of shares underlying such securities immediately prior to such
dilutive issuance (collectively, the "Deemed Outstanding Share Amount"), plus
(ii) the consideration, if any, received by us upon such dilutive issuance, by
(B) the Deemed Outstanding Share Amount immediately after such dilutive
issuance.
In connection with the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Loan
Agreement, we incurred expenses which included legal and accounting fees and
other miscellaneous expenses of approximately $160,000, including legal fees for
counsel to the Lender in the amount of $65,000. In addition, we are required to
pay a placement agent, 5% of the total dollar amount that we borrow under the
Note. We expensed approximately $95,000 of these expenses in our financial
statements at March 31, 2009, of which approximately $44,000 was paid during the
year ended March 31, 2009 and approximately $51,000 was accrued at March 31,
2009.
In accordance with the Marketplace Rules of The Nasdaq Stock Market, we received
shareholder approval at its annual meeting of shareholders held on March 31,
2009 for the right to issue shares of Common Stock in certain events under the
terms of the Note and the Warrants.
In connection with the Financing, Steven Gluckstern, the Company's Chairman,
President and Chief Executive Officer, and Kathryn Clubb, a principal of WH
West, Inc. and a consultant of the Company and an employee of Ajax Capital LLC,
a company controlled by Steven Gluckstern, entered into a participation
arrangement with the Lender whereby Mr. Gluckstern and the consultant invested
$425,000 and $100,000, respectively, with the Lender and shall have a right to
participate with the Lender in the Note and the Warrant. As a result of such
relationship, the Company's Board of Directors, including its independent
members, approved the transactions contemplated by the Loan Agreement. During
our fiscal years ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 we paid $24,000 and $0 to WH
West, Inc. for consulting services rendered.
We have been in discussions with our Lender regarding an extension on the Loan
and certain other terms which may require us to issue additional securities to
the Lender. As a result, we continue to seek to raise additional capital in
order to (i) repay our outstanding obligations under the Loan of $2.5 million,
plus interest, and (ii) continue our operations. In the event we are unable to
raise additional capital or extend the term of the loan, we will not be able
to meet our obligations under the Loan and the Lender will have the right to
foreclose on the Loan and, as a result, we may have to cease our operations.
DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE
We have six directors, Steven M. Gluckstern, Andre' A. DiMino, David Saloff,
Kenneth S. Abramowitz, Pamela J. Newman, Ph.D. and Jeffrey A. Tischler. Our
Board of Directors has determined that each of Kenneth S. Abramowitz, Pamela J.
Newman, Ph.D. and Jeffrey A. Tischler are "independent" as defined under the
NASDAQ listing standards. Mrs. Waxman resigned from our Board of Directors on
July 20, 2009.
