Item 1.01.
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

The information under Item 5.02 below concerning the grant of stock options to Richard C. Williams, Robert B. Rothermel and John Q. Adams, Sr., is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 2.01.
Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
 
On February 12, 2008, Cellegy Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Cellegy,” the “Company” or the “Registrant,” and Cellegy before the effective time of the merger sometimes referred to as “Old Cellegy”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the agreement, as amended, referred to as the “Merger Agreement”) with Adamis Pharmaceuticals Corporation (“Adamis” or “Old Adamis”), a Delaware corporation, and Cellegy Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cellegy (“Merger Sub”), providing for the acquisition of Cellegy by Adamis.  The Merger Agreement provided that Merger Sub will merge with and into Adamis, with Adamis becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cellegy and the surviving corporation in the merger (the “Merger”).
 
The stockholders of Old Cellegy and Old Adamis approved the transaction at a special meeting of Adamis stockholders held on March 23, 2009, and at an annual meeting of Old Cellegy’s stockholders held on March 23, 2009.
 
Effective as of April 1, 2009, Adamis and Cellegy completed the Merger transaction contemplated by the Merger Agreement.  In connection with the consummation of the Merger and pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Company changed its name from Cellegy Pharmaceuticals, Inc. to Adamis Pharmaceuticals Corporation, and Old Adamis changed its corporate name to Adamis Corporation.
 
Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, immediately before the consummation of the Merger Old Cellegy effected a reverse stock split of its common stock.  Pursuant to this reverse stock split, each 9.929060333 shares of common stock of Old Cellegy that were issued and outstanding immediately before the effective time was converted into one share of common stock of the Company and any remaining fractional shares held by a stockholder (after the aggregating fractional shares) were rounded up to the nearest whole share (the “Reverse Split”).
 
As a result, the total number of shares of Old Cellegy that were outstanding immediately before the effective time of the Merger were converted into approximately 3,000,000 shares of post-reverse split shares of common stock of the Company.  Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger, each share of Adamis common stock that was issued and outstanding immediately before the effective time of the Merger ceased to be outstanding and was converted into the right to receive one share of common stock of the Company.  As a result, the Company expects to issue approximately 42,978,067 post-reverse split shares of common stock of the Company to persons who were holders of outstanding shares of common stock of Old Adamis before the effective time of the Merger.

In connection with the Merger, each outstanding stock option, warrant, convertible security and other right to purchase or acquire the capital stock of Adamis was assumed by the Company and became an option, warrant, convertible security or other right to purchase or acquire shares of common stock of the Company, with the number of shares and exercise prices proportionately adjusted based on the exchange ratio in the Merger.  Because the exchange ratio in the Merger is one-for-one, the exercise prices and numbers of shares covered by outstanding Adamis warrants that the Company assumed in the Merger remained the same after the Merger.  As a result, outstanding Adamis warrants to purchase 1,000,000 shares of Adamis common stock were assumed by the Company in the Merger and were converted into a warrant to purchase 1,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company.
 
The Cellegy common stock will continue to trade on a pre-reverse split basis under the current trading symbol “CLGY.OB” until trading on a post-reverse split basis under a new trading symbol is approved by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) and is reflected on the OTC Bulletin Board.

Also in connection with the closing of the Merger, the Company amended its certificate of incorporation to increase the authorized number of shares of common stock from 50,000,000 to 175,000,000 and the authorized number of shares of preferred stock from 5,000,000 to 10,000,000.

The Company’s stockholders also approved a new 2009 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), which became effective upon the closing of the Merger.  The Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options, nonstatutory stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock unit awards, stock appreciation rights, performance stock awards, and other forms of equity compensation (collectively “stock awards”).  In addition, the Plan provides for the grant of performance cash awards.  The aggregate number of shares of common stock that may be issued initially pursuant to stock awards under the Plan is 7,000,000 shares.  The number of shares reserved of common stock reserved for issuance will automatically increase on January 1 of each calendar year, from January 1, 2010 through and including January 1, 2019, by the lesser of (a) 5.0% of the total number of shares of common stock outstanding on December 31 of the preceding calendar year or (b) a lesser number of shares of common stock determined by our board of directors before the start of a calendar year for which an increase applies.  Additional information concerning the Plan is included in the Form S-4 registration statement filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission, registration no. 333-155322, and the joint proxy statement/prospectus included therein (the “Registration Statement” or the “Proxy Statement”), and is incorporated herein by reference.
  
Additional disclosure, including information regarding the Merger Agreement, the Merger, the Company and Adamis, and the other matters described above, is included in the Proxy Statement and incorporated herein by reference.
 
Item 3.03 
Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders
 
The description of the Reverse Split under Item 2.01 above is incorporated herein by reference.  After the effective time of the Reverse Split, record owners of shares of Old Cellegy will be notified in a letter of transmittal that the reverse stock split has been effected.  Record holders of pre-split shares may surrender their pre-split certificates in accordance with procedures to be described in the letter of transmittal, and will receive a notification and statement of ownership concerning the number of post-reverse split shares that they hold.  The transfer agent may hold post-reverse split shares in a Direct Registration System (DRS) electronic book-entry system account managed by the transfer agent.  Any pre-split shares submitted for transfer, whether pursuant to a sale or other disposition, or otherwise, will automatically be exchanged for post-split shares pursuant to procedures to be described in the letter of transmittal.  Stockholders should not destroy any stock certificates and should not submit any certificates unless and until requested to do so.
 
As a result of the completion of the Merger described in Item 2.01, holders of certificates representing shares of Adamis common stock will be asked to surrender their certificates representing such shares of Adamis common stock in order to receive the shares of the Company to which they are entitled as a result of the Merger.

Item 5.01. 
Changes in Control of Registrant.
 
On April 1, 2009, as a result of the completion of the Merger described in Item 2.01, which description is incorporated by reference into this Item 5.01, the former Adamis stockholders, together with the holders of converted Adamis warrants, became entitled to receive shares of Company common stock, warrants and options representing in the aggregate approximately 93.6% of the outstanding shares of Company common stock immediately following the closing of the Merger.

Item 5.02.

Williams resigned as interim Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and Robert J. Caso resigned as Chief Financial Officer of the Company.

Election of Directors

Adamis, Sr., Robert B. Rothermel and Thomas M. Steinberg, to the Cellegy board of directors.  As contemplated by the Merger Agreement and disclosed in the Proxy Statement, at the closing of the Merger two Cellegy directors, Tobi B. Klar, M.D. and Thomas M. Steinberg, resigned, and three additional persons, Dennis J. Carlo, Ph.D., David J. Marguglio and Richard L. Aloi, each of whom was a director and officer of Adamis, were appointed as directors of the Company, to serve from and after consummation of the Merger until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified, or until the earlier of their death, resignation or removal.  Richard C.

Compensatory Arrangements; Option Grants to Non-Employee Directors.

Under the provisions of the Plan relating to non-employee directors, each non-employee director who is a member of the board of directors on or effective as of the closing of the Merger, and any person who thereafter becomes a non-employee director, will automatically receive an initial grant of a nonstatutory option to purchase 50,000 shares of common stock upon such person’s election or appointment.  These initial grants will vest 50% on the grant date, with the balance vesting in equal monthly installments over a period of three years from the grant date.  In addition, any person who is a non-employee director immediately after the annual meeting of our stockholders automatically will be granted, on the annual meeting date, beginning with our first annual meeting of stockholders after the closing of the Merger, a nonstatutory option to purchase 25,000 shares of common stock, or the annual grant, subject to adjustment of the board of directors from time to time.  These annual grants will vest in equal monthly installments over three years from the grant date.  In the event of certain corporate transactions, including change in control transactions, the vesting of options held by non-employee directors whose service has not terminated generally will be accelerated in full, and if the director ceases to serve as a director as a result of the transaction, the director will have 12 months from the date of cessation of service within which to exercise the option.
 
Consistent with the foregoing provisions and as described in the Proxy Statement, Richard C. Williams, Robert B. Rothermel and John Q. Adams, Sr., who were directors of Old Cellegy and who continued as directors of the Company, each were granted a new non-employee director stock option to purchase 50,000 post-reverse split shares of common stock, effective immediately after the effective time of the Merger.  The exercise price of these options was equal to $0.60 per share, which was the closing price of the common stock on a pre-reverse split basis on the date of grant, multiplied by the ratio of the reverse stock split (and rounded up to the nearest cent).  The options vest and become exercisable as to 50% of the total shares subject to the option on the date of grant, with the balance vesting in equal monthly installments over a period of three years from the grant date, so long as the non-employee director continuously remains a director, consultant or employee of the company.   In addition, following the Merger, outside directors will be eligible to receive cash outside director fee compensation pursuant to the Company’s director compensation policies.

2009 Equity Incentive Plan
 
As described in Item 2.01 above, the Plan became effective as of the effective time of the Merger.  Directors, officers and employees of the Company are eligible to receive awards under the Plan.  The description of the Plan set forth in Item 2.01 above, and in the section of the Proxy Statement entitled “Cellegy Proposal 5: Approval of 2009 Equity Incentive Plan,” are incorporated herein by reference.  Copies the Plan and related forms were filed as exhibits to the Registration Statement and are incorporated by reference herein.  The foregoing description of the Plan does not purport to be complete and is qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Plan.

Change in Fiscal Year
 
Adamis was the accounting acquirer in the reverse merger transaction, and as a result, after the effective time of the Merger the financial statements of the Registrant will be the financial statements of Adamis.  Adamis’ fiscal year ends on March 31, and accordingly the fiscal year-end of the Company will end on March 31.

ADAMIS PHARMACEUTICALS CORPORATION


Adamis Pharmaceuticals Corporation, a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware, hereby certifies as follows:

FIRST: The name of this corporation is Adamis Pharmaceuticals Corporation.

SECOND: The original name of this corporation was Cellegy Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and the date of filing of its original Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware was April 22, 2004.

THIRD: The Certificate of Incorporation of said corporation shall be amended and restated to read in full as follows:

I.

The name of this corporation is Adamis Pharmaceuticals Corporation (the "Company" ).

II.

The address of the registered office of the Company in the State of Delaware is 2711 Centerville Road, Suite 400, Wilmington, DE 19808. The name of the registered agent at that address is Corporation Service Company.

III.

The purpose of the Company is to engage in any lawful act or activity for which a corporation may be organized under the Delaware General Corporation Law ( "DGCL" ).

IV.

A. The Company is authorized to issue two classes of stock to be designated, respectively, "Common Stock" and "Preferred Stock." The total number of shares of all classes of capital stock which the Company shall have authority to issue is one hundred eighty-five million (185,000,000), of which one hundred seventy-five million (175,000,000) shares shall be Common Stock, having a par value of $0.0001 per share (the "Common Stock" ), and ten million (10,000,000) shares shall be Preferred Stock, having a par value of $0.0001 (the "Preferred Stock" ).
 

 
B. The Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series. The Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board of Directors" ) is hereby expressly authorized to provide for the issue of any or all of the unissued and undesignated shares of the Preferred Stock in one or more series, and to fix the number of shares and to determine or alter for each such series, such voting powers, full or limited, or no voting powers, and such designation, preferences, and relative, participating, optional, or other rights and such qualifications, limitations, or restrictions thereof, as shall be stated and expressed in the resolution or resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors providing for the issuance of such shares and as may be permitted by the DGCL. The Board of Directors is also expressly authorized to increase or decrease the number of shares of any series subsequent to the issuance of shares of that series, but not below the number of shares of such series then outstanding. In case the number of shares of any series shall be decreased in accordance with the foregoing sentence, the shares constituting such decrease shall resume the status that they had prior to the adoption of the resolution originally fixing the number of shares of such series. The number of authorized shares of Preferred Stock may be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding) by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the Common Stock, without a vote of the holders of the Preferred Stock, or of any series thereof, unless a vote of any such holders is required pursuant to the terms of any certificate of designation filed with respect to any series of Preferred Stock.

C. Each outstanding share of Common Stock shall entitle the holder thereof to one vote on each matter properly submitted to the stockholders of the Company for their vote; provided, however , that, except as otherwise required by law, holders of Common Stock shall not be entitled to vote on any amendment to this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (including any certificate of designation filed with respect to any series of Preferred Stock) that relates solely to the terms of one or more outstanding series of Preferred Stock if the holders of such affected series of Preferred Stock are entitled, either separately or together as a class with the holders of one or more other series of Preferred Stock, to vote thereon by law or pursuant to this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (including any certificate of designation filed with respect to any series of Preferred Stock).

V.

For the management of the business and for the conduct of the affairs of the Company, and in further definition, limitation and regulation of the powers of the Company, of its directors and of its stockholders or any class thereof, as the case may be, it is further provided that:

A. The management of the business and the conduct of the affairs of the Company shall be vested in its Board of Directors. The number of directors that shall constitute the Board of Directors shall be fixed exclusively by resolutions adopted by a majority of the authorized number of directors constituting the Board of Directors.

B. No decrease in the number of directors constituting the Board of Directors shall shorten the term of any incumbent director.

C. Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock that may be designated from time to time, any vacancies on the Board of Directors resulting from death, resignation, disqualification, removal or other causes and any newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the number of directors, shall, unless the Board of Directors determines by resolution that any such vacancies or newly created directorships shall be filled by the stockholders, except as otherwise provided by law, be filled only by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors then in office, even though less than a quorum of the Board of Directors, and not by the stockholders.

2009 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN



1.  GENERAL.

(a)  Successor to Prior Plan.   The Plan is intended as the successor to the Company's 2005 Equity Incentive Plan (the "Prior Plan" ). Following the Effective Date, no additional stock awards shall be granted under the Prior Plan. Any shares remaining available for issuance pursuant to the exercise of stock awards under the Prior Plan shall become available for issuance pursuant to Stock Awards granted hereunder. Any shares subject to outstanding stock awards granted under the Prior Plan that expire or terminate for any reason prior to exercise or settlement shall become available for issuance pursuant to Stock Awards granted hereunder. On the Effective Date, all outstanding stock awards granted under the Prior Plan shall be deemed to be stock awards granted pursuant to the Plan, but shall remain subject to the terms of the Prior Plan with respect to which they were originally granted. All Stock Awards granted subsequent to the Effective Date shall be subject to the terms of the Plan.

(b)  Eligible Award Recipients.   The persons eligible to receive Awards are Employees, Directors and Consultants.

(c)  Available Awards.   The Plan provides for the grant of the following Awards: (i) Incentive Stock Options, (ii) Nonstatutory Stock Options, (iii) Restricted Stock Awards, (iv) Restricted Stock Unit Awards, (v) Stock Appreciation Rights, (vi) Performance Stock Awards, (vii) Performance Cash Awards, and (viii) Other Stock Awards.

(d)  General Purpose.   The Company, by means of the Plan, seeks to secure and retain the services of the group of persons eligible to receive Awards as set forth in Section 1(b), to provide incentives for such persons to exert maximum efforts for the success of the Company and any Affiliate and to provide a means by which such eligible recipients may be given an opportunity to benefit from increases in value of the Common Stock through the granting of Stock Awards.

2.  ADMINISTRATION.

(a)  Administration by Board.   The Board shall administer the Plan unless and until the Board delegates administration of the Plan to a Committee or Committees, as provided in Section 2(c).

(b)  Powers of Board.   The Board shall have the power, subject to, and within the limitations of, the express provisions of the Plan:

(i)   To determine from time to time (A) which of the persons eligible under the Plan shall be granted Awards; (B) when and how each Award shall be granted; (C) what type or combination of types of Award shall be granted; (D) the provisions of each Award granted (which need not be identical), including the time or times when a person shall be permitted to receive cash or Common Stock pursuant to a Stock Award; and (E) the number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which a Stock Award shall be granted to each such person.

(ii)   To construe and interpret the Plan and Awards granted under it, and to establish, amend and revoke rules and regulations for its administration. The Board, in the exercise of this power, may correct any defect, omission or inconsistency in the Plan or in any Stock Award Agreement or in the written terms of a Performance Cash Award, in a manner and to the extent it shall deem necessary or expedient to make the Plan or Award fully effective.

(iii) To settle all controversies regarding the Plan and Awards granted under it.
 
 
 

 
 
(iv)   To accelerate the time at which a Stock Award may first be exercised or the time during which an Award or any part thereof will vest in accordance with the Plan, notwithstanding the provisions in the Award stating the time at which it may first be exercised or the time during which it will vest.

(v)   To suspend or terminate the Plan at any time. Suspension or termination of the Plan shall not impair rights and obligations under any Stock Award granted while the Plan is in effect except with the written consent of the affected Participant.

(vi)   To amend the Plan in any respect the Board deems necessary or advisable, including, without limitation, relating to Incentive Stock Options and certain nonqualified deferred compensation under Section 409A of the Code and to bring the Plan and/or Stock Awards granted under the Plan into compliance therewith, subject to the limitations, if any, of applicable law. However, except as provided in Section 9(a) relating to Capitalization Adjustments, stockholder approval shall be required for any amendment of the Plan that either (A) materially increases the number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the Plan, (B) materially expands the class of individuals eligible to receive Awards under the Plan, (C) materially increases the benefits accruing to Participants under the Plan or materially reduces the price at which shares of Common Stock may be issued or purchased under the Plan, (D) materially extends the term of the Plan, or (E) expands the types of Awards available for issuance under the Plan, but in each of (A) to (E) only to the extent required by applicable law or listing requirements. Except as provided above, rights under any Award granted before amendment of the Plan shall not be impaired by any amendment of the Plan unless (1) the Company requests the consent of the affected Participant, and (2) such Participant consents in writing.

(vii) To submit any amendment to the Plan for stockholder approval, including, but not limited to, amendments to the Plan intended to satisfy the requirements of (A) Section 162(m) of the Code and the regulations thereunder regarding the exclusion of performance-based compensation from the limit on corporate deductibility of compensation paid to Covered Employees, (B) Section 422 of the Code regarding Incentive Stock Options or (C) Rule 16b-3.

(viii) To approve forms of Award Agreements for use under the Plan and to amend the terms of any one or more Awards or stock awards granted under the Prior Plan, including, but not limited to, amendments to provide terms more favorable to the Participant than previously provided in the Award Agreement, subject to any specified limits in the Plan that are not subject to Board discretion; provided however, that the Participant's rights under any Award shall not be impaired by any such amendment unless (A) the Company requests the consent of the affected Participant, and (B) such Participant consents in writing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, subject to the limitations of applicable law, if any, the Board may amend the terms of any one or more Awards without the affected Participant's consent if necessary to maintain the qualified status of the Award as an Incentive Stock Option or to bring the Award into compliance with Section 409A of the Code and Department of Treasury regulations and other interpretive guidance issued thereunder, including without limitation any such regulations or other guidance that may be issued or amended after the Effective Date.

(ix)   Generally, to exercise such powers and to perform such acts as the Board deems necessary or expedient to promote the best interests of the Company and that are not in conflict with the provisions of the Plan or Awards.

(x)   To adopt such procedures and sub-plans as are necessary or appropriate to permit or facilitate participation in the Plan by Employees, Directors or Consultants who are foreign nationals or employed outside the United States.

(xi)   To effect, at any time and from time to time, with the consent of any adversely affected Optionholder, (A) the reduction of the exercise price of any outstanding Option under the Plan; (B) the cancellation of any outstanding Option under the Plan and the grant in substitution therefor of (1) a new Option under the Plan or another equity plan of the Company covering the same or a different number of shares of Common Stock, (2) a Restricted Stock Award (including a stock bonus), (3) a Stock Appreciation Right, (4) Restricted Stock Unit, (5) an Other Stock Award, (6) cash and/or (7) other valuable consideration (as determined by the Board, in its sole discretion); or (C) any other action that is treated as a repricing under generally accepted accounting principles.

(c)  Delegation to Committee.

(i)   General.   The Board may delegate some or all of the administration of the Plan to a Committee or Committees. If administration of the Plan is delegated to a Committee, the Committee shall have, in connection with the administration of the Plan, the powers theretofore possessed by the Board that have been delegated to the Committee, including the power to delegate to a subcommittee of the Committee any of the administrative powers the Committee is authorized to exercise (and references in the Plan to the Board shall thereafter be to the Committee or subcommittee), subject, however, to such resolutions, not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan, as may be adopted from time to time by the Board. The Board may retain the authority to concurrently administer the Plan with the Committee and may, at any time, revest in the Board some or all of the powers previously delegated to the Committee, Committees, subcommittee or subcommittees.

(ii)   Section 162(m) and Rule 16b-3 Compliance.   In the sole discretion of the Board, the Committee may consist solely of two (2) or more Outside Directors, in accordance with Section 162(m) of the Code, or solely of two (2) or more Non-Employee Directors, in accordance with Rule 16b-3. In addition, the Board or the Committee, in its sole discretion, may (A) delegate to a Committee which need not consist of Outside Directors the authority to grant Awards to eligible persons who are either (1) not then Covered Employees and are not expected to be Covered Employees at the time of recognition of income resulting from such Stock Award, or (2) not persons with respect to whom the Company wishes to comply with Section 162(m) of the Code, or (B) delegate to a Committee which need not consist of Non-Employee Directors the authority to grant Stock Awards to eligible persons who are not then subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act.

(d)  Delegation to an Officer.   The Board may delegate to one or more Officers the authority to do one or both of the following (i) designate Employees who are not Officers to be recipients of Options (and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, other Stock Awards) and the terms thereof, and (ii) determine the number of shares of Common Stock to be subject to such Stock Awards granted to such Employees; provided, however, that the Board resolutions regarding such delegation shall specify the total number of shares of Common Stock that may be subject to the Stock Awards granted by such Officer and that such Officer may not grant a Stock Award to himself or herself. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2(d), the Board may not delegate to an Officer authority to determine the Fair Market Value pursuant to Section 13(v)(ii) below.  The Board may delegate to one of more officers the authority to renew and resolve disputes with respect to Awards held by Participants who are not an officer or director of the Company or any other person whose transactions in the Company’s common stock are subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act.

(e)  Effect of Board's Decision.   All determinations, interpretations and constructions made by the Board in good faith shall not be subject to review by any person and shall be final, binding and conclusive on all persons.

3.  SHARES SUBJECT TO THE PLAN.

(a)  Share Reserve.   Subject to the provisions of Section 9(a) relating to Capitalization Adjustments, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued pursuant to Stock Awards shall consist of the sum of the seven million (7,000,000) of Common Stock (the "Share Reserve" ).  In addition, the number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under Stock Awards pursuant to the Plan shall automatically increase on January 1st of each year commencing in 2010 and ending on (and including) January 1, 2019, in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) five percent (5%) of the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on December 31st of the preceding calendar year, or (ii) a lessor number of shares of Common Stock determined by the Board before the start of a calendar year for which and increase applies. For clarity, the limitation in this Section 3(a) is a limitation in the number of shares of the Company's common stock that may be issued pursuant to the Plan. Accordingly, this Section 3(a) does not limit the granting of Stock Awards except as provided in Section 7(a). Shares may be issued in connection with a merger or acquisition as permitted by NASD Rule 4350(i)(1)(A)(iii) or, if applicable, NYSE Listed Company Manual Section 303A.08, or AMEX Company Guide Section 711 and such issuance shall not reduce the number of shares.
 
 
3

 
 
(b)  Reversion of Shares to the Share Reserve.   If a Stock Award (i) expires or otherwise terminates without having been exercised in full, (ii) are forfeited back to the Company because of the failure to meet a contingency or condition required to vest such shares in the Participant or (iii) is settled in cash (i.e., the holder of the Stock Award receives cash rather than stock), the shares not issued under such Stock Award shall remain available for issuance under the Plan, and such expiration, termination, forfeiture or settlement shall not reduce (or otherwise offset) the number of shares of the Company's common stock that may be issued pursuant to the Plan. Also, any shares reacquired by the Company pursuant to subsection 8(g) or as consideration for the exercise of an Option shall again become available for issuance under the Plan.

(c)  Incentive Stock Option Limit.   No more than 70,000,000 shares of common stock shall be issued pursuant to the exercise of Incentive Stock Options.

(d)  Section 162(m) Limitation on Annual Grants.   Subject to the provisions of Section 9(a) relating to Capitalization Adjustments, at such time as the Company may be subject to the applicable provisions of Section 162(m) of the Code, no Employee shall be eligible to be granted during any calendar year Stock Awards whose value is determined by reference to an increase over an exercise or strike price of at least one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value on the date the Stock Award is granted covering more than five million (5,000,000) shares of Common Stock.

(e)  Source of Shares.   The stock issuable under the Plan shall be shares of authorized but unissued or reacquired shares of Common Stock, including shares repurchased by the Company on the open market.

4.  ELIGIBILITY.

(a)  Eligibility for Specific Stock Awards.   Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to employees of the Company or a parent corporation or subsidiary corporation thereof (as such terms are defined in Sections 424(e) and 424(f) of the Code). Stock Awards other than Incentive Stock Options may be granted to Employees, Directors and Consultants.

(b)  Ten Percent Stockholders.   A Ten Percent Stockholder shall not be granted an Incentive Stock Option unless the exercise price of such Option is at least one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value on the date of grant and the Option is not exercisable after the expiration of five (5) years from the date of grant.

(c)  Consultants.   A Consultant shall be eligible for the grant of a Stock Award only if, at the time of grant, a Form S-8 Registration Statement under the Securities Act ( "Form S-8" ) is available to register either the offer or the sale of the Company's securities to such Consultant because of the nature of the services that the Consultant is providing to the Company, because the Consultant is a natural person, or because of any other rule governing the use of Form S-8.

5.  OPTION PROVISIONS.

Each Option shall be in such form and shall contain such terms and conditions as the Board shall deem appropriate. All Options shall be separately designated Incentive Stock Options or Nonstatutory Stock Options at the time of grant, and, if certificates are issued, a separate certificate or certificates shall be issued for shares of Common Stock purchased on exercise of each type of Option. If an Option is not specifically designated as an Incentive Stock Option, then the Option shall be a Nonstatutory Stock Option. The provisions of separate Options need not be identical; provided, however , that each Option Agreement shall conform to (through incorporation of provisions hereof by reference in the Option Agreement or otherwise) the substance of each of the following provisions:

(a)  Term. Subject to the provisions of Section 4(b) regarding Ten Percent Stockholders, no Option shall be exercisable after the expiration of ten (10) years from the date of its grant or such shorter period specified in the Option Agreement.

(b)  Exercise Price.   Subject to the provisions of Section 4(b) regarding Ten Percent Stockholders, the exercise price of each Option shall be not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value subject to the Option on the date the Option is granted. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Option may be granted with an exercise price lower than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value subject to the Option if such Option is granted pursuant to an assumption or substitution for another option in a manner consistent with the provisions of Section 424(a) of the Code (whether or not such options are Incentive Stock Options).

(c)  Consideration.   The purchase price of Common Stock acquired pursuant to the exercise of an Option shall be paid, to the extent permitted by applicable law and as determined by the Board in its sole discretion, by any combination of the methods of payment set forth below. The Board shall have the authority to grant Options that do not permit all of the following methods of payment (or otherwise restrict the ability to use certain methods) and to grant Options that require the consent of the Company to utilize a particular method of payment. The methods of payment permitted by this Section 5(c) are:

(i)   by cash, check, bank draft or money order payable to the Company;

(ii)   pursuant to a program developed under Regulation T as promulgated by the Federal Reserve Board that, prior to the issuance of the stock subject to the Option, results in either the receipt of cash (or check) by the Company or the receipt of irrevocable instructions to pay the aggregate exercise price to the Company from the sales proceeds;

(iii) by delivery to the Company (either by actual delivery or attestation) of shares of Common Stock;

(iv)   by a "net exercise" arrangement pursuant to which the Company will reduce the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise by the largest whole number of shares with a Fair Market Value that does not exceed the aggregate exercise price; provided, however, that the Company shall accept a cash or other payment from the Participant to the extent of any remaining balance of the aggregate exercise price not satisfied by such reduction in the number of whole shares to be issued; provided, further, that shares of Common Stock will no longer be subject to an Option and will not be exercisable thereafter to the extent that (A) shares issuable upon exercise are reduced to pay the exercise price pursuant to the "net exercise", (B) shares are delivered to the Participant as a result of such exercise, and/or (C) shares are withheld to satisfy tax withholding obligations; or

(v)   in any other form of legal consideration that may be acceptable to the Board in its sole discretion and permissible under applicable law.

(d)  Transferability of Options.   The Board may, in its sole discretion, impose such limitations on the transferability of Options as the Board shall determine. In the absence of such a determination by the Board to the contrary, the following restrictions on the transferability of Options shall apply:

(i)   Restrictions on Transfer.   An Option shall not be transferable except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution and shall be exercisable during the lifetime of the Optionholder only by the Optionholder; provided, however, that the Board may, in its sole discretion, permit transfer of the Option in a manner that is not prohibited by applicable tax and/or securities laws upon the Optionholder's request.

(ii)   Domestic Relations Orders.   Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Option may be transferred pursuant to a domestic relations order, provided, however, that if an Option is an Incentive Stock Option, such Option may be deemed to be a Nonstatutory Stock Option as a result of such transfer.

(iii)   Beneficiary Designation.   Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Optionholder may, by delivering written notice to the Company, in a form provided by or otherwise satisfactory to the Company, designate a third party who, in the event of the death of the Optionholder, shall thereafter be entitled to exercise the Option. In the absence of such a designation, the executor or administrator of the Optionholder's estate shall be entitled to exercise the Option.

(e)  Vesting of Options Generally.   The total number of shares of Common Stock subject to an Option may vest and therefore become exercisable in periodic installments that may or may not be equal. The Option may be subject to such other terms and conditions on the time or times when it may or may not be exercised (which may be based on the satisfaction of Performance Goals or other criteria) as the Board may deem appropriate. The vesting provisions of individual Options may vary. The provisions of this Section 5(e) are subject to any Option provisions governing the minimum number of shares of Common Stock as to which an Option may be exercised.
 
 
5

 
 
(f)  Termination of Continuous Service.   Except as otherwise provided in the applicable Option Agreement or any other written agreement between the Optionholder and the Company, in the event that an Optionholder's Continuous Service terminates (other than for Cause or upon the Optionholder's death or Disability), the Optionholder may exercise his or her Option (to the extent that the Optionholder was entitled to exercise such Option as of the date of termination of Continuous Service) but only within such period of time ending on the earlier of (i) the date three (3) months following the termination of the Optionholder's Continuous Service (or such longer or shorter period specified in the Option Agreement), or (ii) the expiration of the term of the Option as set forth in the Option Agreement. If, after termination of Continuous Service, the Optionholder does not exercise his or her Option within the time specified herein or in the Option Agreement (as applicable), the Option shall terminate.

(g)  Extension of Termination Date.   An Optionholder's Option Agreement may provide that if the exercise of the Option following the termination of the Optionholder's Continuous Service (other than for Cause or upon the Optionholder's death or Disability) would be prohibited at any time solely because the issuance of shares of Common Stock would violate the registration requirements under the Securities Act, then the Option shall terminate on the earlier of (i) the expiration of a period of three (3) months after the termination of the Optionholder's Continuous Service during which the exercise of the Option would not be in violation of such registration requirements, or (ii) the expiration of the term of the Option as set forth in the Option Agreement.

(h)  Disability of Optionholder.   In the event that an Optionholder's Continuous Service terminates as a result of the Optionholder's Disability, the Optionholder may exercise his or her Option (to the extent that the Optionholder was entitled to exercise such Option as of the date of termination of Continuous Service), but only within such period of time ending on the earlier of (i) the date twelve (12) months following such termination of Continuous Service (or such longer or shorter period specified in the Option Agreement), or (ii) the expiration of the term of the Option as set forth in the Option Agreement. If, after termination of Continuous Service, the Optionholder does not exercise his or her Option within the time specified herein or in the Option Agreement (as applicable), the Option shall terminate.

(i)  Death of Optionholder.   In the event that (i) an Optionholder's Continuous Service terminates as a result of the Optionholder's death, or (ii) the Optionholder dies within the period (if any) specified in the Option Agreement after the termination of the Optionholder's Continuous Service for a reason other than death, then the Option may be exercised (to the extent the Optionholder was entitled to exercise such Option as of the date of death) by the Optionholder's estate, by a person who acquired the right to exercise the Option by bequest or inheritance or, if applicable, by a person designated as the beneficiary of the option upon the Optionholder's death, but only within the period ending on the earlier of (A) the date eighteen (18) months following the date of death (or such longer or shorter period specified in the Option Agreement), or (B) the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Option Agreement. If, after the Optionholder's death, the Option is not exercised within the time specified herein or in the Option Agreement (as applicable), the Option shall terminate. If the Optionholder designates a third party beneficiary of the Option in accordance with Section 5(d)(iii), then upon the death of the Optionholder such designated beneficiary shall have the sole right to exercise the Option and receive the Common Stock or other consideration resulting from an Option exercise.

(j)  Termination for Cause.   Except as explicitly provided otherwise in an Optionholder's Option Agreement or any other written agreement between the Optionholder and the Company, in the event that an Optionholder's Continuous Service is terminated for Cause, the Option shall terminate upon the termination date of such Optionholder's Continuous Service, and the Optionholder shall be prohibited from exercising his or her Option from and after the time of such termination of Continuous Service.

(k)  Non-Exempt Employees.   No Option granted to an Employee that is a non-exempt employee for purposes of the Fair Labor Standards Act shall be first exercisable for any shares of Common Stock until at least six months following the date of grant of the Option. The foregoing provision is intended to operate so that any income derived by a non-exempt employee in connection with the exercise or vesting of an Option will be exempt from his or her regular rate of pay.

6.  PROVISIONS OF STOCK AWARDS OTHER THAN OPTIONS.

(a)  Restricted Stock Awards.   Each Restricted Stock Award Agreement shall be in such form and shall contain such terms and conditions as the Board shall deem appropriate. To the extent consistent with the Company's Bylaws, at the Board's election, shares of Common Stock may be (x) held in book entry form subject to the Company's instructions until any restrictions relating to the Restricted Stock Award lapse; or (y) evidenced by a certificate, which certificate shall be held in such form and manner as determined by the Board. The terms and conditions of Restricted Stock Award Agreements may change from time to time, and the terms and conditions of separate Restricted Stock Award Agreements need not be identical, provided, however , that each Restricted Stock Award Agreement shall include (through incorporation of the provisions hereof by reference in the agreement or otherwise) the substance of each of the following provisions:

(i)   Consideration.   A Restricted Stock Award may be awarded in consideration for (A) past or future services actually or to be rendered to the Company or an Affiliate, or (B) any other form of legal consideration that may be acceptable to the Board in its sole discretion and permissible under applicable law.

(ii)   Vesting.   Shares of Common Stock awarded under the Restricted Stock Award Agreement may be subject to forfeiture to the Company in accordance with a vesting schedule to be determined by the Board.

(iii)   Termination of Participant's Continuous Service.   In the event a Participant's Continuous Service terminates, the Company may receive via a forfeiture condition or a repurchase right, any or all of the shares of Common Stock held by the Participant which have not vested as of the date of termination of Continuous Service under the terms of the Restricted Stock Award Agreement.

(iv)   Transferability.   Rights to acquire shares of Common Stock under the Restricted Stock Award Agreement shall be transferable by the Participant only upon such terms and conditions as are set forth in the Restricted Stock Award Agreement, as the Board shall determine in its sole discretion, so long as Common Stock awarded under the Restricted Stock Award Agreement remains subject to the terms of the Restricted Stock Award Agreement.

(b)  Restricted Stock Unit Awards.   Each Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement shall be in such form and shall contain such terms and conditions as the Board shall deem appropriate. The terms and conditions of Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreements may change from time to time, and the terms and conditions of separate Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreements need not be identical, provided, however, that each Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement shall conform to (through incorporation of the provisions hereof by reference in the Agreement or otherwise) the substance of each of the following provisions:

(i)   Consideration.   At the time of grant of a Restricted Stock Unit Award, the Board will determine the consideration, if any, to be paid by the Participant upon delivery of each share of Common Stock subject to the Restricted Stock Unit Award. The consideration to be paid (if any) by the Participant for each share of Common Stock subject to a Restricted Stock Unit Award may be paid in any form of legal consideration that may be acceptable to the Board in its sole discretion and permissible under applicable law.

(ii)   Vesting.   At the time of the grant of a Restricted Stock Unit Award, the Board may impose such restrictions or conditions to the vesting of the Restricted Stock Unit Award as it, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate.

(iii)   Payment.   A Restricted Stock Unit Award may be settled by the delivery of shares of Common Stock, their cash equivalent, any combination thereof or in any other form of consideration, as determined by the Board and contained in the Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement.

(iv)   Additional Restrictions.   At the time of the grant of a Restricted Stock Unit Award, the Board, as it deems appropriate, may impose such restrictions or conditions that delay the delivery of the shares of Common Stock (or their cash equivalent) subject to a Restricted Stock Unit Award to a time after the vesting of such Restricted Stock Unit Award.
 
 
7

 
 
(v)   Dividend Equivalents.   Dividend equivalents may be credited in respect of shares of Common Stock covered by a Restricted Stock Unit Award, as determined by the Board and contained in the Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement. At the sole discretion of the Board, such dividend equivalents may be converted into additional shares of Common Stock covered by the Restricted Stock Unit Award in such manner as determined by the Board. Any additional shares covered by the Restricted Stock Unit Award credited by reason of such dividend equivalents will be subject to all the terms and conditions of the underlying Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement to which they relate.

(vi)   Termination of Participant's Continuous Service.   Except as otherwise provided in the applicable Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement, such portion of the Restricted Stock Unit Award that has not vested will be forfeited upon the Participant's termination of Continuous Service.

(vii)   Compliance with Section 409A of the Code.   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, any Restricted Stock Unit Award granted under the Plan that is not exempt from the requirements of Section 409A of the Code shall incorporate terms and conditions necessary to avoid the consequences of Section 409A(a)(1) of the Code. Such restrictions, if any, shall be determined by the Board and contained in the Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement evidencing such Restricted Stock Unit Award. For example, such restrictions may include, without limitation, a requirement that any Common Stock that is to be issued in a year following the year in which the Restricted Stock Unit Award vests must be issued in accordance with a fixed pre-determined schedule.

(c)  Stock Appreciation Rights.   Each Stock Appreciation Right Agreement shall be in such form and shall contain such terms and conditions as the Board shall deem appropriate. Stock Appreciation Rights may be granted as stand-alone Stock Awards or in tandem with other Stock Awards. The terms and conditions of Stock Appreciation Right Agreements may change from time to time, and the terms and conditions of separate Stock Appreciation Right Agreements need not be identical; provided, however , that each Stock Appreciation Right Agreement shall conform to (through incorporation of the provisions hereof by reference in the Agreement or otherwise) the substance of each of the following provisions:

(i)   Term.   No Stock Appreciation Right shall be exercisable after the expiration of ten (10) years from the date of its grant or such shorter period specified in the Stock Appreciation Right Agreement.

(ii)   Strike Price.   Each Stock Appreciation Right will be denominated in shares of Common Stock equivalents.

(d)  Performance Awards.
 
(i)   Performance Stock Awards.   A Performance Stock Award is a Stock Award that may be granted, may vest, or may be exercised based upon the attainment during a Performance Period of certain Performance Goals. A Performance Stock Award may, but need not, require the completion of a specified period of Continuous Service. The length of any Performance Period, the Performance Goals to be achieved during the Performance Period, and the measure of whether and to what degree such Performance Goals have been attained shall be conclusively determined by the Committee in its sole discretion. The maximum number of shares that may be granted to any Participant in a calendar year attributable to Performance Stock Awards described in this Section 6(d)(i) shall not exceed five million (5,000,000) shares of Common Stock. In addition, to the extent permitted by applicable law and the applicable Award Agreement, the Board may determine that cash may be used in payment of Performance Stock Awards.

(ii)   Performance Cash Awards.   A Performance Cash Award is a cash award that may be granted upon the attainment during a Performance Period of certain Performance Goals. A Performance Cash Award may also require the completion of a specified period of Continuous Service.

The maximum value that may be granted to any Participant in any calendar year attributable to cash awards described in this Section 6(d)(ii) shall not exceed one million dollars ($1,000,000). The Board may provide for or, subject to such terms and conditions as the Board may specify, may permit a Participant to elect for, the payment of any Performance Cash Award to be deferred to a specified date or event. The Committee may specify the form of payment of Performance Cash Awards, which may be cash or other property, or may provide for a Participant to have the option for his or her Performance Cash Award, or such portion thereof as the Board may specify, to be paid in whole or in part in cash or other property. In addition, to the extent permitted by applicable law and the applicable Award Agreement, the Board may determine that Common Stock authorized under the Plan may be used in payment of Performance Cash Awards, including additional shares in excess of the Performance Cash Award as an inducement to hold shares of Common Stock.

(b)   Securities Law Compliance.   The Company shall seek to obtain from each regulatory commission or agency having jurisdiction over the Plan such authority as may be required to grant Stock Awards and to issue and sell shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Stock Awards; provided, however, that this undertaking shall not require the Company to register under the Securities Act the Plan, any Stock Award or any Common Stock issued or issuable pursuant to any such Stock Award. If, after reasonable efforts, the Company is unable to obtain from any such regulatory commission or agency the authority that counsel for the Company deems necessary for the lawful issuance and sale of Common Stock under the Plan, the Company shall be relieved from any liability for failure to issue and sell Common Stock upon exercise of such Stock Awards unless and until such authority is obtained.

(c)   No Obligation to Notify.   The Company shall have no duty or obligation to any holder of a Stock Award to advise such holder as to the time or manner of exercising such Stock Award. Furthermore, the Company shall have no duty or obligation to warn or otherwise advise such holder of a pending termination or expiration of a Stock Award or a possible period in which the Stock Award may not be exercised. The Company has no duty or obligation to minimize the tax consequences of a Stock Award to the holder of such Stock Award.

(b)  Corporate Action Constituting Grant of Stock Awards.   Corporate action constituting a grant by the Company of a Stock Award to any Participant shall be deemed completed as of the date of such corporate action, unless otherwise determined by the Board, regardless of when the instrument, certificate, or letter evidencing the Stock Award is communicated to, or actually received or accepted by, the Participant.

(c)  Stockholder Rights.   No Participant shall be deemed to be the holder of, or to have any of the rights of a holder with respect to, any shares of Common Stock subject to such Stock Award unless and until (i) such Participant has validly exercised the Stock Award pursuant to its terms and (ii) the issuance of the Common Stock pursuant to such exercise has been entered into the books and records of the Company.
 
(d)  No Employment or Other Service Rights.   Nothing in the Plan, any Stock Award Agreement or other instrument executed thereunder or in connection with any Award granted pursuant to the Plan shall confer upon any Participant any right to continue to serve the Company or an Affiliate in the capacity in effect at the time the Stock Award was granted or shall affect the right of the Company or an Affiliate to terminate (i) the employment of an Employee with or without notice and with or without cause, (ii) the service of a Consultant pursuant to the terms of such Consultant's agreement with the Company or an Affiliate, or (iii) the service of a Director pursuant to the Bylaws of the Company or an Affiliate, and any applicable provisions of the corporate law of the state in which the Company or the Affiliate is incorporated, as the case may be.

(f)  Investment Assurances.   The Company may require a Participant, as a condition of exercising or acquiring Common Stock under any Stock Award, (i) to give written assurances satisfactory to the Company as to the Participant's knowledge and experience in financial and business matters and/or to employ a purchaser representative reasonably satisfactory to the Company who is knowledgeable and experienced in financial and business matters and that he or she is capable of evaluating, alone or together with the purchaser representative, the merits and risks of exercising the Stock Award; and (ii) to give written assurances satisfactory to the Company stating that the Participant is acquiring Common Stock subject to the Stock Award for the Participant's own account and not with any present intention of selling or otherwise distributing the Common Stock. The foregoing requirements, and any assurances given pursuant to such requirements, shall be inoperative if (x) the issuance of the shares upon the exercise or acquisition of Common Stock under the Stock Award has been registered under a then currently effective registration statement under the Securities Act, or (y) as to any particular requirement, a determination is made by counsel for the Company that such requirement need not be met in the circumstances under the then applicable securities laws. The Company may, upon advice of counsel to the Company, place legends on stock certificates issued under the Plan as such counsel deems necessary or appropriate in order to comply with applicable securities laws, including, but not limited to, legends restricting the transfer of the Common Stock.

(g)  Withholding Obligations.   Unless prohibited by the terms of a Stock Award Agreement, the Company may, in its sole discretion, satisfy any federal, state or local tax withholding obligation relating to an Award by any of the following means (in addition to the Company's right to withhold from any compensation paid to the Participant by the Company) or by a combination of such means: (i) causing the Participant to tender a cash payment; (ii) withholding shares of Common Stock from the shares of Common Stock issued or otherwise issuable to the Participant in connection with the Award; provided, however, that no shares of Common Stock are withheld with a value exceeding the minimum amount of tax required to be withheld by law (or such lower amount as may be necessary to avoid classification of the Stock Award as a liability for financial accounting purposes); (iii) withholding cash from an Award settled in cash; (iv) withholding payment from any amounts otherwise payable to the Participant; or (v) by such other method as may be set forth in the Award Agreement.

(h)  Electronic Delivery.   Any reference herein to a "written" agreement or document shall include any agreement or document delivered electronically or posted on the Company's intranet.

(i)  Deferrals.   To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Board, in its sole discretion, may determine that the delivery of Common Stock or the payment of cash, upon the exercise, vesting or settlement of all or a portion of any Award may be deferred and may establish programs and procedures for deferral elections to be made by Participants. Deferrals by Participants will be made in accordance with Section 409A of the Code. Consistent with Section 409A of the Code, the Board may provide for distributions while a Participant is still an employee. The Board is authorized to make deferrals of Stock Awards and determine when, and in what annual percentages, Participants may receive payments, including lump sum payments, following the Participant's termination of employment or retirement, and implement such other terms and conditions consistent with the provisions of the Plan and in accordance with applicable law.

(j)  Compliance with Section 409A of the Code.   To the extent that the Board determines that any Award granted under the Plan is subject to Section 409A of the Code, the Award Agreement evidencing such Award shall incorporate the terms and conditions necessary to avoid the consequences described in Section 409A(a)(1) of the Code. To the extent applicable, the Plan and Award Agreements shall be interpreted in accordance with Section 409A of the Code and related Department of Treasury guidance. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, in the event that following the Effective Date the Board determines that any Award may be subject to Section 409A of the Code and related Department of Treasury guidance, the Board may adopt such amendments to the Plan and the applicable Award Agreement or adopt other policies and procedures (including amendments, policies and procedures with retroactive effect), or take any other actions, that the Board determines are necessary or appropriate to (i) exempt the Award from Section 409A of the Code and/or preserve the intended tax treatment of the benefits provided with respect to the Award, or (ii) comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and related Department of Treasury guidance.

ADAMIS PHARMACEUTICAL CORPORATION
2009 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN
 
OPTION AGREEMENT
(INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION OR NONSTATUTORY STOCK OPTION)
 
 
Pursuant to your Stock Option Grant Notice ( "Grant Notice" ) and this Option Agreement, Adamis Pharmaceuticals Corporation (the "Company" ) has granted you an option under its 2009 Equity Incentive Plan (the "Plan" ) to purchase the number of shares of the Company's Common Stock indicated in your Grant Notice at the exercise price indicated in your Grant Notice. Defined terms not explicitly defined in this Option Agreement but defined in the Plan shall have the same definitions as in the Plan.  The number of shares indicated in the Grant Notice gives effect to the reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock effected on April 1, 2009 and reflects post-reverse split shares, and the exercise price per share indicated in the Grant Notice reflects the exercise price per post-reverse stock split share of Common Stock.
 
The details of your option are as follows:
 
1. VESTING. Subject to the limitations contained herein, your option will vest as provided in your Grant Notice, provided that vesting will cease upon the termination of your Continuous Service.  In addition, if the Company is subject to a Change in Control before your Continuous Service terminates, then all of the unvested shares subject to this option shall become fully vested and exercisable immediately prior to the effective date of such Change in Control.

2. NUMBER OF SHARES AND EXERCISE PRICE.   The number of shares of Common Stock subject to your option and your exercise price per share referenced in your Grant Notice may be adjusted from time to time for any Capitalization Adjustment, as provided in the Plan.

3. METHOD OF PAYMENT.   Payment of the exercise price is due in full upon exercise of all or any part of your option. You may elect to make payment of the exercise price in cash or by check or in any other manner permitted by your Grant Notice, which may include one or more of the following:

(a) In the Company's sole discretion at the time your option is exercised and provided that at the time of exercise the Common Stock is publicly traded and quoted regularly in The Wall Street Journal , pursuant to a program developed under Regulation T as promulgated by the Federal Reserve Board that, prior to the issuance of Common Stock, results in either the receipt of cash (or check) by the Company or the receipt of irrevocable instructions to pay the aggregate exercise price to the Company from the sales proceeds.

(b) In the Company's sole discretion at the time your option is exercised and provided that at the time of exercise the Common Stock is publicly traded and quoted regularly in The Wall Street Journal , by delivery of already-owned shares of Common Stock either that you have held for the period required to avoid a charge to the Company's reported earnings (generally six months) or that you did not acquire, directly or indirectly from the Company, that are owned free and clear of any liens, claims, encumbrances or security interests, and that are valued at Fair Market Value on the date of exercise. "Delivery" for these purposes, in the sole discretion of the Company at the time you exercise your option, shall include delivery to the Company of your attestation of ownership of such shares of Common Stock in a form approved by the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you may not exercise your option by tender to the Company of Common Stock to the extent such tender would violate the provisions of any law, regulation or agreement restricting the redemption of the Company's stock.
 
 
1

 

(c) If the Company has established procedures for net exercise of options, then by a "net exercise" arrangement pursuant to which the Company will reduce the number of shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise by the largest whole number of shares with a Fair Market Value that does not exceed the aggregate exercise price; provided, however , that the Company shall accept a cash or other payment from you to the extent of any remaining balance of the aggregate exercise price not satisfied by such reduction in the number of whole shares to be issued; provided, further , that shares of Common Stock will no longer be outstanding under your option and will not be exercisable thereafter to the extent that (i) shares are used to pay the exercise price pursuant to the "net exercise," (ii) shares are delivered to you as a result of such exercise, and (iii) shares are withheld to satisfy tax withholding obligations.

(d) In any other form of legal consideration that may be acceptable to the Board.

4. WHOLE SHARES.   You may exercise your option only for whole shares of Common Stock.

5. SECURITIES LAW COMPLIANCE.   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, you may not exercise your option unless the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise are then registered under the Securities Act or, if such shares of Common Stock are not then so registered, the Company has determined that such exercise and issuance would be exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. The exercise of your option must also comply with other applicable laws and regulations governing your option, and you may not exercise your option if the Company determines that such exercise would not be in material compliance with such laws and regulations.

6. TERM.   You may not exercise your option before the commencement or after the expiration of its term or after the term expires.  The term of your option commences on the Date of Grant and expires upon the earliest of the following:

(a) immediately upon the termination of your Continuous Service for Cause;

(b) twelve (12) months after the termination of your Continuous Service for any reason (including after the termination of your Continuous Service in connection with a Change in Control where all of the unvested shares subject to your option become fully vested and exercisable immediately before the effective date of such Change in Control in accordance with the provisions of Section 1 above), other than your Disability or death (the "Twelve Month Post-Termination Exercise Period" );
 
 
2

 

(c) twelve (12) months after the termination of your Continuous Service due to your Disability;

(d) twelve (12) months after your death if you die either during your Continuous Service or within three (3) months after your Continuous Service terminates;

(e) the Expiration Date indicated in your Grant Notice;

(f) the day before the tenth (10th) anniversary of the Date of Grant; or

(g)  otherwise as may be provided Section 13.7 of the Plan.
 
In addition, if your sale of the shares acquired upon exercise of your option would subject you to suit under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, your option shall remain exercisable for an additional period until the earlier of (i) the expiration of a period of ten (10) days after the date on which a sale of the shares by you would no longer be subject to such suit, or (ii) the Expiration Date indicated in your Grant Notice.
 
7. EXERCISE.     

(a) You may exercise the vested portion of your option (and the unvested portion of your option if your Grant Notice so permits) during its term by delivering a Notice of Exercise (in a form designated by the Company) together with the exercise price to the Secretary of the Company, or to such other person as the Company may designate, during regular business hours, together with such additional documents as the Company may then require.

(b) By exercising your option you agree that, as a condition to any exercise of your option, the Company may require you to enter into an arrangement providing for the payment by you to the Company of any tax withholding obligation of the Company arising by reason of (1) the exercise of your option, (2) the lapse of any substantial risk of forfeiture to which the shares of Common Stock are subject at the time of exercise, or (3) the disposition of shares of Common Stock acquired upon such exercise.

8. TRANSFERABILITY.     

(a) Restrictions on Transfer.   Your option is not transferable except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution and shall be exercisable during your lifetime only by you; provided, however, that the Board may, in its sole discretion, permit you to transfer your option in a manner that is not prohibited by applicable tax and/or securities laws upon your request.

(b) Domestic Relations Orders.   Notwithstanding the foregoing, your option may be transferred pursuant to a domestic relations order.
 
 
3

 

(c) Beneficiary Designation.   Notwithstanding the foregoing, you may, by delivering written notice to the Company, in a form provided by or otherwise satisfactory to the Company, designate a third party who, in the event of your death, shall thereafter be entitled to exercise your option.

9. OPTION NOT A SERVICE CONTRACT   Your option is not an employment or service contract, and nothing in your option shall be deemed to create in any way whatsoever any obligation on your part to continue in the employ of the Company or an Affiliate, or of the Company or an Affiliate to continue your employment. In addition, nothing in your option shall obligate the Company or an Affiliate, their respective stockholders, Boards of Directors, Officers or Employees to continue any relationship that you might have as a Director or Consultant for the Company or an Affiliate.

10. WITHHOLDING OBLIGATIONS.     

(a) At the time you exercise your option, in whole or in part, or at any time thereafter as requested by the Company, you hereby authorize withholding from payroll and any other amounts payable to you, and otherwise agree to make adequate provision as directed by the Company (including by means of a "cashless exercise" pursuant to a program developed under Regulation T as promulgated by the Federal Reserve Board to the extent directed by the Company), for any sums required to satisfy the federal, state, local and foreign tax withholding obligations of the Company or an Affiliate, if any, which arise in connection with your option.

(b) Upon your request and subject to approval by the Company, in its sole discretion, and compliance with any applicable conditions or restrictions of law, the Company may withhold from fully vested shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable to you upon the exercise of your option a number of whole shares of Common Stock having a Fair Market Value, determined by the Company as of the date of exercise, not in excess of the minimum amount of tax required to be withheld by law.  Any adverse consequences to you arising in connection with such share withholding procedure shall be your sole responsibility.

(c) You may not exercise your option unless the tax withholding obligations of the Company and/or any Affiliate are satisfied. Accordingly, you may not be able to exercise your option when desired even though your option is vested, and the Company shall have no obligation to issue a certificate for such shares of Common Stock or release such shares of Common Stock from any escrow provided for herein unless such obligations are satisfied.

11. PARACHUTE PAYMENTS.     

(a) If any payment or benefit you would receive pursuant to a Change in Control from the Company or otherwise ( "Payment" ) would (i) constitute a "parachute payment" within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, and (ii) but for this sentence, be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the "Excise Tax" ), then such Payment shall be equal to the Reduced Amount. The "Reduced Amount" shall be either (x) the largest portion of the Payment that would result in no portion of the Payment being subject to the Excise Tax or (y) the largest portion, up to and including the total, of the Payment, whichever amount, after taking into account all applicable federal, state and local employment taxes, income taxes, and the Excise Tax (all computed at the highest applicable marginal rate), results in your receipt, on an after-tax basis, of the greater amount of the Payment notwithstanding that all or some portion of the Payment may be subject to the Excise Tax. If a reduction in payments or benefits constituting "parachute payments" is necessary so that the Payment equals the Reduced Amount, reduction shall occur in the following order unless you elect in writing a different order ( provided, however, that such election shall be subject to Company approval if made on or after the effective date of the event that triggers the Payment): reduction of cash payments; cancellation of accelerated vesting of Stock Awards; reduction of employee benefits. In the event that acceleration of vesting of Stock Award compensation is to be reduced, such acceleration of vesting shall be cancelled in the reverse order of the date of grant of your Stock Awards (i.e., earliest granted Stock Award cancelled last) unless you elect in writing a different order for cancellation.

(b) The accounting firm engaged by the Company for general audit purposes as of the day prior to the effective date of the Change in Control shall perform the foregoing calculations. If the accounting firm so engaged by the Company is serving as accountant or auditor for the individual, entity or group effecting the Change in Control, the Company shall appoint a nationally recognized accounting firm to make the determinations required hereunder. The Company shall bear all expenses with respect to the determinations by such accounting firm required to be made hereunder.

(c) The accounting firm engaged to make the determinations hereunder shall provide its calculations, together with detailed supporting documentation, to you and the Company within fifteen (15) calendar days after the date on which your right to a Payment is triggered (if requested at that time by you or the Company) or such other time as requested by you or the Company. If the accounting firm determines that no Excise Tax is payable with respect to a Payment, either before or after the application of the Reduced Amount, it shall furnish you and the Company with an opinion reasonably acceptable to you that no Excise Tax will be imposed with respect to such Payment. Any good faith determinations of the accounting firm made hereunder shall be final, binding and conclusive upon you and the Company, except as specified below.

(d) If, notwithstanding any reduction described in this Section, the IRS determines that you are liable for the Excise Tax as a result of the receipt of the payment of benefits as described above, then you shall be obligated to pay back to the Company, within thirty (30) days after a final IRS determination or in the event that you challenge the final IRS determination, a final judicial determination, a portion of the payment equal to the "Repayment Amount." The Repayment Amount with respect to the payment of benefits shall be the smallest such amount, if any, as shall be required to be paid to the Company so that your net after-tax proceeds with respect to any payment of benefits (after taking into account the payment of the Excise Tax and all other applicable taxes imposed on such payment) shall be maximized. The Repayment Amount with respect to the payment of benefits shall be zero if a Repayment Amount of more than zero would not result in your net after-tax proceeds with respect to the payment of such benefits being maximized. If the Excise Tax is not eliminated pursuant to this paragraph, you shall pay the Excise Tax.
 
 
5
