Item 1.01.  Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.


Adoption of 2014 Incentive and Nonstatutory Stock Option Plan


On July 18, 2014, the Board of Directors, (the “Board”) of Game Plan Holdings, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), adopted the Company’s “2014 Stock Option Plan” (the “Plan”) effective immediately.  The Board recognizes that stock options are one component of compensation that can help retain and motivate employees without increasing demands on the Company’s cash flow.


The maximum number of options issuable under the Plan is 7,750,000. If any shares of common stock subject to an award under the Plan are forfeited, expire, are settled for cash or are tendered by the participant, or withheld by the Company to satisfy any tax withholding obligation, then, in each case, the shares subject to the award may be used again for awards under the Plan to the extent of the forfeiture, expiration, cash settlement, or withholding. The stock option awards issuable under the Plan can be made up of any combination of incentive and nonstatutory stock options. In order to qualify for incentive stock option treatment, the Plan must be approved by holders of the Company’s common stock within 12 months of July 18, 2014. If such approval is not obtained, then all options granted under the Plan will be deemed nonstatutory stock options. The Plan dictates that stock options will be granted at or above fair market value on the date of grant and will vest as directed by the Board. Incentive stock options are only available to employees, while nonstatutory stock options are available to independent contractors and consultants.


The above description of the Plan is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Plan, which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K which is incorporated by reference herein.


Grant of Incentive and Nonstatutory Stock Options


On July 18, 2014, concurrently with the adoption of the Plan, the Board granted options to purchase a total of 7,500,000 shares of common stock under the Plan (the “Option Grant”). An option to purchase 10,000 shares under an earlier plan was also granted on July 18, 2014. The Option Grant includes options to purchase 500,000 shares granted to employees, consultants, and/or independent contractors of the Company that are not executive officers.


The Board granted to James (Jamie) Dingman, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, an option  to purchase 2,500,000 shares. This option will vest over approximately three years. 25% of the option vested and became exercisable on July 18, 2014, the date of grant. The Board also granted to Zach Allia, Chief Technology Officer, an option to purchase 2,500,000 shares. 25% of the option vested and became exercisable on July 18, 2014, the date of grant. Mr. Allia’s option similarly vests over approximately three years. Brett Maloley, the Company’s Chief Sales Officer, was granted an option to  purchase 2,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. Mr. Maloley’s option will be fully vested and exercisable on December 25, 2015. 25% of the option vested and became exercisable on July 18, 2014, the date of grant.


The exercise price for all granted options is $0.15 per share, which was the closing price of the Company’s common stock on July 18, 2014, the date of grant.

Each stock option granted under the Plan is subject to the terms of an individualized Stock Option Agreement. The Company will enter into Stock Option Agreements with each option recipient. A form of that Stock Option Agreement  is attached as Exhibit 10.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K. Please be advised that the form attached as Exhibit 10.2 does not cover the specific terms of the granted options described above.

1




(h)       "Cause" for termination of a Participant's Continuous Service Status will exist (unless another definition is provided in an applicable Option Agreement, employment agreement or other applicable written agreement) if the Participant's Continuous Service Status is terminated for any of the following reasons:   (i) any material breach by Participant of any material written agreement between Participant and the Company and Participant's failure to cure such breach within 30 days after receiving written notice thereof; (ii) any failure by Participant to comply with the Company's material written policies or rules as they may be in effect from time to time; (iii) neglect or persistent unsatisfactory performance of Participant's duties and Participant's failure to cure such condition within 30 days after receiving written notice thereof; (iv) Participant's repeated failure to follow reasonable and lawful instructions from the Board or Chief Executive Officer and Participant's failure to cure such condition within 30 days after receiving written notice thereof; (v) Participant's conviction of, or plea of guilty or nolo contendre to, any crime that results in, or is reasonably expected to result in, material harm to the business or reputation of the Company; (vi) Participant's commission of or participation in an act of fraud against the Company; (vii) Participant's intentional material damage to the Company's business, property or reputation; or (viii) Participant's unauthorized use or disclosure of any proprietary information or trade secrets of the Company or any other party to whom the Participant owes an obligation of nondisclosure as a result of his or her relationship with the Company.  For purposes of clarity, a termination without "Cause" does not include any termination that occurs as a result of Participant's death or disability.  The determination as to whether a Participant's Continuous Service Status has been terminated for Cause shall be made in good faith by the Company and shall be final and binding on the Participant.  The foregoing definition does not in any way limit the Company's ability to terminate a Participant's employment or consulting relationship at any time, and the term "Company" will be interpreted to include any Subsidiary, Parent, Affiliate, or any successor thereto, if appropriate.

4.         Administration of the Plan.


(a)        General.   The Plan shall be administered by the Board, a Committee appointed by the Board, or any combination thereof, as determined by the Board.  The Plan may be administered by different administrative bodies with respect to different classes of

Participants and, if permitted by Applicable Laws, the Board may authorize one or more officers of the Company to make awards of options under the Plan to Employees and Consultants (who are not subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act) within parameters specified by the Board.


(b)        Committee Composition.   If a Committee has been appointed pursuant to this Section 4, such Committee shall continue to serve in its designated capacity until otherwise directed by the Board.  From time to time the Board may increase the size of any Committee and appoint additional members thereof, remove members (with or without cause) and appoint new members in substitution therefor, fill vacancies (however caused) and dissolve a Committee and thereafter directly administer the Plan, all to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws and, in the case of a Committee administering the Plan in accordance with the requirements of Rule 16b-3 or Section 162(m) of the Code, to the extent permitted or required by such provisions.


(c)        Powers of the Administrator.   Subject to the provisions of the Plan and, in the case of a Committee, the specific duties delegated by the Board to such Committee, the Administrator shall have the authority, in its sole discretion:


(i)      to determine the Fair Market Value in accordance with Section 2(t) above, provided that such determination shall be applied consistently with respect to Participants under the Plan;

(iii)     to determine the number of Shares to be covered by each Option;

(iv)      to approve the form(s) of agreement(s) and other related

documents used under the Plan;


(v)       to determine the terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, of any Option granted hereunder, which terms and conditions include but are not limited to the exercise or purchase price, the time or times when Options may vest and/or be exercised (which may be based on performance criteria), the circumstances (if any) when vesting will be accelerated or forfeiture restrictions will be waived, and any restriction or limitation regarding any Option;




6




(vi)      to amend any outstanding Option or agreement related to any Optioned Stock, including any amendment adjusting vesting (e.g., in connection with a change in the terms or conditions under which such person is providing services to the Company), provided that no amendment shall be made that would materially and adversely affect the rights of any Participant without his or her consent;


(vii)       to construe and interpret the terms of the Plan, any Option award, any Option Agreement, and any agreement related to any Optioned Stock, which constructions, interpretations and decisions shall be final and binding on all Participants.


(d)        Indemnification.   To the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Laws, each member of the Committee (including officers of the Company, if applicable), or of the Board, as applicable, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company against and from (i) any loss, cost, liability, or expense that may be imposed upon or reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with or resulting from any claim, action, suit, or proceeding to which he or she may be a party or in which he or she may be involved by reason of any action taken or failure to act under the Plan or pursuant to the terms and conditions of any Option except for actions taken in bad faith or failures to act in bad faith, and (ii) any and all amounts paid by him or her in settlement thereof, with the Company's approval, or paid by him or her in satisfaction of any judgment in any such claim, action, suit, or proceeding against him or her, provided that such member shall give the Company an opportunity, at its own expense, to handle and defend any such claim, action, suit or proceeding before he or she undertakes to handle and defend it on his or her own behalf.  The foregoing right of indemnification shall not be exclusive of any other rights of indemnification to which such persons may be entitled under the Company's Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws, by contract, as a matter of law, or otherwise, or under any other power that the Company may have to indemnify or hold harmless each such person.


5.         Eligibility.


(a)        Recipients of Grants.   Nonstatutory Stock Options may be granted to Employees and Consultants.  Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to Employees, provided that Employees of Affiliates shall not be eligible to receive Incentive Stock Options.


(b)        Type of Option.   Each Option shall be designated in the Option

Agreement as either an Incentive Stock Option or a Nonstatutory Stock Option. To the extent an Option is designated as an Incentive Stock Option and the applicable requirements have not been met, that Option shall become a Nonstatutory Stock Option.


(c)        ISO $100,000 Limitation.   Notwithstanding any designation under Section 5(b) above, to the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value of Shares with respect to which options designated as incentive stock options are exercisable for the first time by any Optionee during any calendar year (under all plans of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary) exceeds $100,000, such excess options shall be treated as nonstatutory stock options.  For purposes of this Section 5(c), incentive stock options shall be taken into account in the order in which they were granted, and the Fair Market Value of the Shares subject to an incentive stock option shall be determined as of the date of the grant of such option.




7




(d)        No Employment Rights.   Neither the Plan nor any Option shall confer upon any Employee or Consultant any right with respect to continuation of an employment or consulting relationship with the Company (any Parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate), nor shall it interfere in any way with such Employee's or Consultant's right or the Company's (Parent's, Subsidiary's or Affiliate's) right to terminate his or her employment or consulting relationship at any time, with or without cause.


6.         Term of Plan.   The Plan shall become effective upon its adoption by the Board and shall continue in effect for a term of 10 years unless sooner terminated under Section 14 below.


7.         Options.


(a)        Term of Option.   The term of each Option shall be the term stated in the Option Agreement; provided that the term shall be no more than 10 years from the date of grant thereof or such shorter term as may be provided in the Option Agreement and provided further that, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to a person who at the time of such grant is a Ten Percent Holder, the term of the Option shall be 5 years from the date of grant thereof or such shorter term as may be provided in the Option Agreement.


(b)       Option Exercise Price and Consideration.


(i)         Exercise Price.   The per Share exercise price for the Shares to be issued pursuant to the exercise of an Option shall be such price as is determined by the Administrator and set forth in the Option Agreement, but shall be subject to the following:


(1)       In the case of an Incentive Stock Option


a.         granted to an Employee who at the time of grant is a Ten Percent Holder, the per Share exercise price shall be no less than 110% of the Fair Market Value on the date of grant;


b.         granted to any other Employee, the per Share exercise price shall be no less than 100% of the Fair Market Value on the date of grant;


(2)       Except as provided in subsection (3) below, in the case of a Nonstatutory Stock Option the per Share exercise price shall be such price as is determined by the Administrator, provided that, if the per Share exercise price is less than 100% of the Fair Market Value on the date of grant, it shall otherwise comply with all Applicable Laws, including Section 409A of the Code; and


(3)       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.







8




(ii)       Permissible Consideration.   The consideration to be paid for the Shares to be issued upon exercise of an Option, including the method of payment, shall be determined by the Administrator (and, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option and to the extent required by Applicable Laws, shall be determined at the time of grant) and may consist entirely of (1) cash; (2) check; (3)  to the extent permitted under, and in accordance with, Applicable Laws, delivery of a promissory note with such recourse, interest, security and redemption provisions as the Administrator determines to be appropriate; (4) cancellation of indebtedness; (5) other previously owned Shares that have a Fair Market Value on the date of surrender equal to the aggregate exercise price of the Shares as to which the Option is exercised; (6) a Cashless Exercise; (7) such other consideration and method of payment permitted under Applicable Laws; or (8) any combination of the foregoing methods of payment.  In making its determination as to the type of consideration to accept, the Administrator shall consider if acceptance of such consideration may be reasonably expected to benefit the Company and the Administrator may, in its sole discretion, refuse to accept a particular form of consideration at the time of any Option exercise.


(c)       Exercise of Option.

(i)        General.

(1)        Exercisability.   Any Option granted hereunder shall be exercisable at such times and under such conditions as determined by the Administrator, consistent with the terms of the Plan and reflected in the Option Agreement, including vesting requirements and/or performance criteria with respect to the Company, and Parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate, and/or the Optionee.


(2)        Leave of Absence.   The Administrator shall have the discretion to determine whether and to what extent the vesting of Options shall be tolled during any leave of absence; provided, however, that in the absence of such determination, vesting of Options shall continue during any paid leave and shall be tolled during any unpaid leave   (unless otherwise required by Applicable Laws).


(3)        Minimum Exercise Requirements.   An Option may not be exercised for a fraction of a Share.   The Administrator may require that an Option be exercised as to a minimum number of Shares, provided that such requirement shall not prevent an Optionee from exercising the full number of Shares as to which the Option is then exercisable.


(4)        Procedures for and Results of Exercise.   An Option shall be deemed exercised when written notice of such exercise has been received by the Company in accordance with the terms of the Option Agreement by the person entitled to exercise the Option and the Company has received full payment for the Shares with respect to which the Option is exercised and has paid, or made arrangements to satisfy, any applicable taxes, withholding, required deductions or other required payments in accordance with Section 8 below.  The exercise of an Option shall result in a decrease in the number of Shares that thereafter may be available, both for purposes of the Plan and for sale under the Option, by the number of Shares as to which the Option is exercised.




9




(5)        Rights as Holder of Capital Stock.   Until the issuance of the Shares (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company), no right to vote or receive dividends or any other rights as a holder of capital stock shall exist with respect to the Optioned Stock, notwithstanding the exercise of the Option.   No adjustment will be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to the date the stock is issued, except as provided in Section 9 below.


(ii)       Termination of Continuous Service Status.   The Administrator shall establish and set forth in the applicable Option Agreement the terms and conditions upon which an Option shall remain exercisable, if at all, following termination of an Optionee's Continuous Service Status, which provisions may be waived or modified by the Administrator at any time.   To the extent that an Option Agreement does not specify the terms and conditions upon which an Option shall terminate upon termination of an Optionee's Continuous Service Status, the following provisions shall apply:


(1)        General Provisions.   If the Optionee (or other person entitled to exercise the Option) does not exercise the Option to the extent so entitled within the time specified below, the Option shall terminate and the Optioned Stock underlying the unexercised portion of the Option shall revert to the Plan.  In no event may any Option be exercised after the expiration of the Option term as set forth in the Option Agreement (and subject to this Section 7). Upon the termination of the Optionee’s Continuous Service Status, any unvested portion of an Option will no longer be exercisable.


(2)        Termination other than Upon Disability or Death or for Cause.   In the event of termination of an Optionee's Continuous Service Status other than under the circumstances set forth in the subsections (3) through (5) below, such Optionee may exercise any outstanding Option at any time within 2 month(s) following such termination to the extent the Optionee is vested in the Optioned Stock.


(3)        Disability of Optionee.   In the event of termination of an Optionee's Continuous Service Status as a result of his or her Disability, such Optionee may exercise any outstanding Option at any time within 6 month(s) following such termination to the extent the Optionee is vested in the Optioned Stock.


(4)        Death of Optionee.   In the event of the death of an Optionee during the period of Continuous Service Status since the date of grant of any outstanding Option, or within 3 month(s) following termination of the Optionee's Continuous Service Status, the Option may be exercised by any beneficiaries designated in accordance with Section 15 below, or if there are no such beneficiaries, by the Optionee's estate, or by a person who acquired the right to exercise the Option by bequest or inheritance, at any time within 12 month(s) following the date the Optionee's Continuous Service Status terminated, but only to the extent the Optionee is vested in the Optioned Stock.








10




(5)        Termination for Cause.   In the event of termination of an Optionee's Continuous Service Status for Cause, any outstanding Option (including any vested portion thereof) held by such Optionee shall immediately terminate in its entirety upon first notification to the Optionee of termination of the Optionee's Continuous Service Status for Cause.  If an Optionee's Continuous Service Status is suspended pending an investigation of whether the Optionee's Continuous Service Status will be terminated for Cause, all the Optionee's rights under any Option, including the right to exercise the Option, shall be suspended during the investigation period.  Nothing in this Section 7(c)(ii)(5) shall in any way limit the Company's right to purchase unvested Shares issued upon exercise of an Option as set forth in the applicable Option Agreement.


(iii)      Buyout Provisions.   The Administrator may at any time offer to buy out for a payment in cash or Shares an Option previously granted under the Plan based on such terms and conditions as the Administrator shall establish and communicate to the Optionee at the time that such offer is made.


8.         Taxes.


(a)       As a condition of the grant, vesting and exercise of an Option, the Participant (or in the case of the Participant's death or a permitted transferee, the person holding or exercising the Award) shall make such arrangements as the Administrator may require for the satisfaction of any applicable U.S. federal, state, local or foreign tax, withholding, and any other required deductions or payments that may arise in connection with such Option.  The Company shall not be required to issue any Shares under the Plan until such obligations are satisfied.


(b)       The Administrator may, to the extent permitted under Applicable Laws, permit a Participant (or in the case of the Participant's death or a permitted transferee, the person holding or exercising the Award) to satisfy all or part of his or her tax, withholding, or any other required deductions or payments by Cashless Exercise or by surrendering Shares (either directly or by stock attestation) that he or she previously acquired; provided that, unless specifically permitted by the Company, any such Cashless Exercise must be an approved broker-assisted Cashless Exercise or the Shares withheld in the Cashless Exercise must be limited to avoid financial accounting charges under applicable accounting guidance and any such surrendered Shares must have been previously held for any minimum duration required to avoid financial accounting charges under applicable accounting guidance.  Any payment of taxes by surrendering Shares to the Company may be subject to restrictions, including, but not limited to, any restrictions required by rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission.


9.       Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization, Merger or Certain Other

Transactions.


(a)        Changes in Capitalization.   Subject to any action required under Applicable Laws by the holders of capital stock of the Company, (i) the numbers and class of Shares or other stock or securities:  (x) available for future Options under Section 3 above and (y) covered by each outstanding Option, (ii) the exercise price per Share of each such outstanding Option, and (iii) any repurchase price per Share applicable to Shares issued pursuant to any Option, shall be automatically proportionately adjusted in the event of a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, combination, consolidation, reclassification of the Shares or subdivision of the Shares.  In the event of any increase or decrease in the



11



number of issued Shares effected without receipt of consideration by the Company, a declaration of an extraordinary dividend with respect to the Shares payable in a form other than Shares in an amount that has a material effect on the Fair Market Value, a recapitalization (including a recapitalization through a large nonrecurring cash dividend), a rights offering, a reorganization, merger, a spin-off, split-up, change in corporate structure or a similar occurrence, the Administrator shall make appropriate adjustments, in its discretion, in one or more of (i) the numbers and class of Shares or other stock or securities: (x) available for future Option under Section 3 above and (y) covered by each outstanding Option, (ii) the exercise price per Share of each outstanding Option and (iii) any repurchase price per Share applicable to Shares issued pursuant to any Option, and any such adjustment by the Administrator shall be made in the Administrator's sole and absolute discretion and shall be final, binding and conclusive.  Except as expressly provided herein, no issuance by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number or price of Shares subject to an Option.  


(b)        Dissolution or Liquidation.   In the event of the dissolution or liquidation of the Company, each Option will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such action, unless otherwise determined by the Administrator.


(c)        Corporate Transactions.   In the event of (i) a transfer of all or substantially all of the Company's assets, (ii) a merger, consolidation or other capital reorganization or business combination transaction of the Company with or into another corporation, entity or person, or (iii) the consummation of a transaction, or series of related transactions, in which any "person" (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act) becomes the "beneficial owner" (as defined in Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the Company's then outstanding capital stock (a "Corporate Transaction"), each outstanding Option (vested or unvested) will be treated as the Administrator determines, which determination may be made without the consent of any Participant and need not treat all outstanding Awards (or portion thereof) in an identical manner. Such determination, without the consent of any Participant, may provide (without limitation) for one or more of the following in the event of a Corporate Transaction:  (A) the continuation of such outstanding Options by the Company (if the Company is the surviving corporation); (B) the assumption of such outstanding Awards by the surviving corporation or its parent; (C) the substitution by the surviving corporation or its parent of new options or equity awards for such Awards; (D) the cancellation of such Options in exchange for a payment to the Participants equal to the excess of (1) the Fair Market Value of the Shares subject to such Options as of the closing date of such Corporate Transaction over (2) the exercise price or purchase price paid or to be paid for the Shares subject to the Options; (E) the cancellation of any outstanding Options or an outstanding right to purchase Restricted Stock, in either case, for no consideration, or (F) the acceleration of all Option vesting such that all Options are deemed fully vested and exercisable immediately before the Corporate Transaction.


10.       Non-Transferability of Awards.


(a)        General.   Except as set forth in this Section 10, Options may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred or disposed of in any manner other than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution.  The designation of a beneficiary by a Participant will not constitute a transfer.  An Option may be exercised, during the lifetime of the holder of the Option, only by such holder or a transferee permitted by this Section 10.



12




(b)        Limited Transferability Rights.   Notwithstanding anything else in this Section 10, the Administrator may in its sole discretion provide that any Nonstatutory Stock Options may be transferred by instrument to an inter vivos or testamentary trust in which the Options are to be passed to beneficiaries upon the death of the trustor (settlor) or by gift to Family Members.   


11.       Transferability of Stock Underlying Options.   Stockholders shall not transfer, whether by sale, gift or otherwise, any Shares acquired from any Option to any person or entity unless such transfer is permissible under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules promulgated thereunder, including but not limited to Rule 144.


12.       Time of Granting Options.   The date of grant of an Option shall, for all purposes, be the date on which the Administrator makes the determination granting such Option, or such other date as is determined by the Administrator.


13.       Amendment and Termination of the Plan.   The Board may at any time amend or terminate the Plan, but no amendment or termination shall be made that would materially and adversely affect the rights of any Participant under any outstanding Option, without his or her consent.   In addition, to the extent necessary and desirable to comply with Applicable Laws, the Company shall obtain the approval of holders of capital stock with respect to any Plan amendment in such a manner and to such a degree as required.


14.       Conditions Upon Issuance of Shares.   Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or any agreement entered into by the Company pursuant to the Plan, the Company shall not be obligated, and shall have no liability for failure, to issue or deliver any Shares under the Plan unless such issuance or delivery would comply with Applicable Laws, with such compliance determined by the Company in consultation with its legal counsel.   As a condition to the exercise of any Option, the Company may require the person exercising the Option to represent and warrant at the time of any such exercise or purchase that the Shares are being purchased only for investment and without any present intention to sell or distribute such Shares if, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, such a representation is advisable or required by Applicable Laws.  


15.       Beneficiaries.   If permitted by the Company, a Participant may designate one or more beneficiaries with respect to an Option by timely filing the prescribed form with the Company.   A beneficiary designation may be changed by filing the prescribed form with the Company at any time before the Participant's death.   Except as otherwise provided in an Option Agreement, if no beneficiary was designated or if no designated beneficiary survives the Participant, then after a Participant's death any vested Options(s) shall be transferred or distributed to the Participant's estate or to any person who has the right to acquire the Options by bequest or inheritance.


16.       Approval of Holders of Capital Stock.   In order to comply with Incentive Stock Option requirements, this Plan must be approved by the holders of capital stock of the Company within 12 months before or after the date the Plan is adopted or, to the extent required by Applicable Laws, any date the Plan is amended. Such approval may be obtained in the manner and to the degree required under Applicable Laws. In the event such approval is not obtained, all Options granted under the Plan shall be deemed Nonstatutory Stock Options, even if previous designated as an Incentive Stock Option.



13




17.       Information to Holders of Options.   In the event the Company is relying on the exemption provided by Rule 12h-1(f) under the Exchange Act, the Company shall provide the information described in Rule 701(e)(3), (4) and (5) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, to all holders of Options in accordance with the requirements thereunder until such time as the Company becomes subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act.   The Company may request that holders of Options agree to keep the information to be provided pursuant to this Section confidential.   If the holder does not agree to keep the information to be provided pursuant to this Section confidential, then the Company will not be required to provide the information unless otherwise required pursuant to Rule 12h-1(f)(1) of the Exchange Act.

2014 Stock Option Plan


STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT



1.         Grant of Option.   Game Plan Holdings, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the "Company"), hereby grants to the person ("Optionee") named in the Notice of Stock Option Grant (the "Notice"), an option (the "Option") to purchase the total number of shares of Common Stock (the "Shares") set forth in the Notice, at the exercise price per Share set forth in the Notice (the "Exercise Price") subject to the terms, definitions and provisions of the Game Plan Holdings, Inc. 2014 Stock Option Plan (the "Plan") adopted by the Company, which is incorporated in this Stock Option Agreement (this "Agreement") by reference.   Unless otherwise defined in this Agreement, the terms used in this Agreement or the Notice shall have the meanings defined in the Plan.


2.         Designation of Option.   This Option is intended to be an Incentive Stock Option as defined in Section 422 of the Code only to the extent so designated in the Notice, and to the extent it is not so designated or to the extent this Option does not qualify as an Incentive Stock Option, it is intended to be a Nonstatutory Stock Option.


Notwithstanding the above, if designated as an Incentive Stock Option, in the event that the Shares subject to this Option (and all other incentive stock options granted to Optionee by the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary, including under other plans) that first become exercisable in any calendar year have an aggregate fair market value (determined for each Share as of the date of grant of the option covering such Share) in excess of $100,000, the Shares in excess of $100,000 shall be treated as subject to a nonstatutory stock option, in accordance with Section 5(c) of the Plan.


3.         Exercise of Option.   This Option shall be exercisable during its term in accordance with the Vesting/Exercise Schedule set out in the Notice and with the provisions of Section 7(c) of the Plan as follows:


(a)        Right to Exercise.


(i)        This Option may not be exercised for a fraction of a share.


(ii)       In the event of Optionee's death, Disability or other termination of Continuous Service Status, the exercisability of this Option is governed by Section 5 below, subject to the limitations contained in this Section 3.


(iii)     In no event may this Option be exercised after the Expiration Date set forth in the Notice.


(b)        Method of Exercise.

(ii)       As a condition to the exercise of this Option and as further set forth in Section 9 of the Plan, Optionee agrees to make adequate provision for federal, state or other applicable tax, withholding, required deductions or other payments, if any, which arise upon the grant, vesting or exercise of this Option, or disposition of Shares, whether by withholding, direct payment to the Company, or otherwise, as determined by the Company in its sole discretion.


(iii)     The Company is not obligated, and will have no liability for failure, to issue or deliver any Shares upon exercise of this Option unless such issuance or delivery would comply with the Applicable Laws, with such compliance determined by the Company in consultation with its legal counsel.   This Option may not be exercised if the issuance of such Shares upon such exercise or the method of payment of consideration for such Shares would constitute a violation of any Applicable Laws, including any applicable U.S. federal or state securities laws or any other law or regulation, including any rule under Part 221 of Title 12 of the Code of Federal Regulations as promulgated by the Federal Reserve Board. As a condition to the exercise of this Option, the Company may require Optionee to make any representation and warranty to the Company as may be required by the Applicable Laws. Assuming such compliance, for income tax purposes the Shares shall be considered transferred to Optionee on the date on which this Option is exercised with respect to such Shares.


(iv)      Subject to compliance with Applicable Laws, this Option shall be deemed to be exercised upon receipt by the Company of the appropriate written notice of exercise accompanied by the Exercise Price and the satisfaction of any applicable obligations described in Section 3(b)(ii) above.


4.         Method of Payment.   Payment of the Exercise Price shall be by cash or check or by Cashless Exercise pursuant to which the Optionee delivers an irrevocable direction to a securities broker (on a form prescribed by the Company and according to a procedure established by the Company).


5.         Termination of Relationship.   Following the date of termination of Optionee’s Continuous Service Status for any reason (the "Termination Date"), Optionee may exercise this Option to the extent then vested only as set forth in the Notice and this Section 5.   If Optionee does not exercise this Option within the Termination Period set forth in the Notice or the termination periods set forth below, this Option shall terminate in its entirety.   In no event, may any Option be exercised after the Expiration Date of this Option as set forth in the Notice.


(a)        General Termination.   In the event of termination of Optionee’s Continuous Service Status other than as a result of Optionee’s Disability or death or Optionee’s

(c)       Death of Optionee.   In the event of termination of Optionee’s Continuous Service Status as a result of Optionee’s death, or in the event of Optionee’s death within 3 month(s) following Optionee’s Termination Date, this Option may be exercised at any time within 12 month(s) following the Termination Date, or if later, 12 month(s) following the date of death by any beneficiaries designated in accordance with Section 15 of the Plan or, if there are no such beneficiaries, by the Optionee’s estate, or by a person who acquired the right to exercise the Option by bequest or inheritance, but only to the extent Optionee is vested in the Optioned Stock.


(d)        Termination for Cause.   In the event of termination of Optionee’s Continuous Service Status for Cause, this Option (including any vested portion thereof) shall immediately terminate in its entirety upon first notification to Optionee of such termination for Cause.   If Optionee’s Continuous Service Status is suspended pending an investigation of whether Optionee’s Continuous Service Status will be terminated for Cause, all Optionee’s rights under this Option, including the right to exercise this Option, shall be suspended during the investigation period.


6.         Non-Transferability of Option.   This Option may not be transferred in any manner otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution and may be exercised during the lifetime of Optionee only by him or her.   The terms of this Option shall be binding upon the executors, administrators, heirs, successors and assigns of Optionee.


7.         Effect of Agreement.   Optionee acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan and represents that he or she is familiar with the terms and provisions thereof (and has had an opportunity to consult counsel regarding the Option terms), and hereby accepts this Option and agrees to be bound by its contractual terms as set forth herein and in the Plan.   Optionee hereby agrees to accept as binding, conclusive and final all decisions and interpretations of the Administrator regarding any questions relating to this Option.   In the event of a conflict between the terms and provisions of the Plan and the terms and provisions of the Notice and this Agreement, the Plan terms and provisions shall prevail.


9.         Imposition of Other Requirements.   The Company reserves the right to impose other requirements on Optionee’s participation in the Plan, on the Option and on any Award or Shares acquired under the Plan, to the extent the Company determines it is necessary or advisable in order to comply with Applicable Laws or facilitate the administration of the Plan. Optionee agrees to sign any additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing.   Furthermore, Optionee acknowledges that the laws of the country in which Optionee is working at the time of grant, vesting and exercise of the Option or the sale of Shares received pursuant to this Agreement (including any rules or regulations governing securities, foreign exchange, tax, labor, or other matters) may subject Optionee to additional procedural or regulatory requirements that Optionee is and will be solely responsible for and must fulfill.

Game Plan Holdings, Inc.


2014 Stock Option Plan


EXERCISE AGREEMENT


This Exercise Agreement (this "Agreement") is made as of [date] by and between Game Plan Holdings, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the "Company"), and, ___________________("Purchaser").   To the extent any capitalized terms used in this Agreement are not defined, they shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Company’s 2014 Stock Option Plan (the "Plan") and the Option Agreement (as defined below).


1.         Exercise of Option.   Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Purchaser hereby elects to exercise his or her option to purchase _____________ shares of the Common Stock (the "Shares") of the Company under and pursuant to the Plan, the Notice of Stock Option Grant and the Stock Option Agreement granted (the "Option Agreement").   The purchase price for the Shares shall be $ ___________ per Share for a total purchase price of $ ___________. The term "Shares" refers to the purchased Shares and all securities received in connection with the Shares pursuant to stock dividends or splits, all securities received in replacement of the Shares in a recapitalization, merger, reorganization, exchange or the like, and all new, substituted or additional securities or other property to which Purchaser is entitled by reason of Purchaser’s ownership of the Shares.


2.         Time and Place of Exercise.   The purchase and sale of the Shares under this Agreement shall occur at the principal office of the Company simultaneously with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the payment of the aggregate exercise price by any method listed in Section 4 of the Option Agreement, and the satisfaction of any applicable tax, withholding, required deductions or other payments, all in accordance with the provisions of Section 3(b) of the Option Agreement.   The Company shall issue the Shares to Purchaser by entering such Shares in Purchaser’s name as of such date in the books and records of the Company or, if applicable, a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company, against payment of the exercise price therefor by Purchaser.   The Company will deliver to Purchaser a stock certificate or, in the case of uncertificated securities, notice of issuance, for the Shares as soon as practicable following such date.


3.         Limitations on Transfer.   In addition to any other limitation on transfer created by Applicable Laws and the Plan, Purchaser shall not assign, encumber or dispose of any interest in the Shares except in compliance with the provisions below and Applicable Laws.


4.         Investment and Taxation Representations.   In connection with the purchase of the Shares, Purchaser represents to the Company the following:






1




(a)       Purchaser is aware of the Company’s business affairs and financial condition and has acquired sufficient information about the Company to reach an informed and knowledgeable decision to acquire the Shares.   Purchaser is purchasing the Shares for investment for Purchaser’s own account only and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any "distribution" thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act or under any applicable provision of state law.   Purchaser does not have any present intention to transfer the Shares to any other person or entity.


(b)       Purchaser understands that the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act by reason of a specific exemption therefrom, which exemption depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of Purchaser’s investment intent as expressed herein.


(c)       Purchaser further acknowledges and understands that the securities must be held indefinitely unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available.   Purchaser further acknowledges and understands that the Company is under no obligation to register the securities.


(d)       Purchaser is familiar with the provisions of Rule 144, promulgated under the Securities Act, which, in substance, permits limited public resale of "restricted securities" acquired, directly or indirectly, from the issuer of the securities (or from an affiliate of such issuer), in a non-public offering subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions.   Purchaser understands that the Company provides no assurances as to whether he or she will be able to resell any or all of the Shares pursuant to Rule 144, which rule requires, among other things, that the Company be subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, that resales of securities take place only after the holder of the Shares has held the Shares for certain specified time periods, and under certain circumstances, that resales of securities be limited in volume and take place only pursuant to brokered transactions.   Notwithstanding this Section 4(d), Purchaser acknowledges and agrees to the restrictions set forth in Section 4(e) below.


(e)       Purchaser further understands that in the event all of the applicable requirements of Rule 144 are not satisfied, registration under the Securities Act, compliance with Regulation A, or some other registration exemption will be required; and that, notwithstanding the fact that Rule 144 is not exclusive, the Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission has expressed its opinion that persons proposing to sell private placement securities other than in a registered offering and otherwise than pursuant to Rule 144 will have a substantial burden of proof in establishing that an exemption from registration is available for such offers or sales, and that such persons and their respective brokers who participate in such transactions do so at their own risk.


(f)        Purchaser understands that Purchaser may suffer adverse tax consequences as a result of Purchaser’s purchase or disposition of the Shares.   Purchaser represents that Purchaser has consulted any tax consultants Purchaser deems advisable in connection with the purchase or disposition of the Shares and that Purchaser is not relying on the Company for any

tax advice.

(f)         Severability.   If one or more provisions of this Agreement are held to be unenforceable under applicable law, the parties agree to renegotiate such provision in good faith. In the event that the parties cannot reach a mutually agreeable and enforceable replacement for such provision, then (i) such provision shall be excluded from this Agreement, (ii) the balance of the Agreement shall be interpreted as if such provision were so excluded and (iii) the balance of the Agreement shall be enforceable in accordance with its terms.

Purchaser hereby consents to receive such documents and notices by such electronic delivery and agrees to participate through an on-line or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or a third party designated by the Company.
