ADVANCED FINANCIAL, INC.
1992 INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION PLAN
1. Purpose of plan. This Incentive Stock Option Plan (the "Plan"), is intended to encourage ownership of shares of Advanced Financial, Inc. (the "Corporation"), by key employees of the Corporation and its subsidiaries and to provide additional incentive for them to promote the success of the business.
2. Shares subject to plan. There will be reserved for use upon the exercise of options to be granted from time to time under the Plan ("Options"), an aggregate of 500,000 Common Shares, of the par value $.001 per share (the "Common Shares"), of the Corporation, which shares may be in whole or in part, as the Board of Directors of the Corporation (the "Board of Directors"), shall from time to time determine, authorized but unissued Common Shares or issued Common Shares which shall have been reacquired by the Corporation. For purposes of the Plan, the "Plan Year" shall be the 12-month period ending on each June 30. Options shall not be granted in any Plan Year for in excess of an aggregate of 100,000 Common Shares; provided, however, that, if an Option shall expire or terminate for any reason without having been exercised in full, the unpurchased shares covered thereby shall (unless the Plan shall have been terminated) be added to the shares otherwise available for Options which may be granted in accordance with the terms of the Plan.
3. Administration of plan. The Board of Directors shall appoint a Stock Option Plan Committee (the "Committee"), which shall consist of not less than three members of the Board of Directors. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Committee shall have complete authority in its discretion to determine the employees of the Corporation and its subsidiaries to whom Options shall be granted, the number of shares to be covered by each of the Options, and the time or times at which Options shall be granted; to interpret the Plan; and to prescribe, amend, and rescind rules and regulations relating to it; provided, however, that, in the case of employees who shall also be directors of the Corporation, Options shall be granted in accordance with the provisions of paragraphs 4 and 5 hereof. The Board of Directors may from time to time appoint members of the Committee in substitution for or in addition to members previously appointed and may fill vacancies, however caused, in the Committee. The Committee shall select one of its members as its chairman and shall hold its meetings at such times and places as it shall deem advisable. A majority of its members shall constitute a quorum. All action of the Committee shall be taken by a majority of its members. Any action may be then by a written instrument signed by a majority of the members and action so taken shall be fully as effective as if it had been taken by a vote of a majority of the members at a meeting duly called and held. The Committee may appoint a secretary, shall keep minutes of its meetings, and shall make such rules and regulations for the conduct of its business as it shall deem advisable. Members of the Committee shall be indemnified by the Company for any act or omission in connection with the Plan or any option granted thereunder.
