Exhibit 10.1


CHINA BIOLOGIC PRODUCTS, INC.

 

2008 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN


1.

Purposes .  This Plan permits the Administrator to grant Options, Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units, Stock Appreciation Rights, and Other Share-Based Awards in order to retain, attract and motivate Employees, Directors and Consultants and to provide such persons with equity ownership opportunities and performance-based incentives that are intended to align their interests with those of our stockholders.  

2.

Stock Subject to the Plan .  Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 12, a maximum of five million (5,000,000) Shares will be available for issuance under the Plan.  The Shares may be authorized and unissued Shares or Shares now held or subsequently acquired by the Company.

If an Award granted under the Plan lapses, is forfeited, terminated or canceled, or expires without being exercised or without the issuance of Shares, the unissued and unpurchased Shares subject to the Award will become available for future grant or sale under the Plan (unless the Plan has terminated).

Shares that have actually been issued under the Plan under any Award will not be returned to the Plan and will not become available for grant or sale under the Plan.  With respect to SARs, only Shares actually issued pursuant to a SAR will cease to be available under the Plan; all remaining Shares subject to the SARs will remain available for future grant or sale under the Plan (unless the Plan has terminated).  Except with respect to issued Shares, Shares withheld by the Company to pay the exercise price of an Award or to satisfy tax withholding obligations with respect to an Award will become available for future grant or sale under the Plan.  To the extent an Award under the Plan is paid out in cash rather than Shares, such cash payment will not reduce the number of Shares available for issuance under the Plan.

The Company, during the term of this Plan, will at all time reserve and keep available such number of Shares as will be sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the Plan.

3.

Administration of the Plan .

a.

Administration .  The Board will act as Plan Administrator or will appoint a Committee consistent with Applicable Laws to act as Administrator.  If and so long as the Shares are registered under Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act, the Board will consider in selecting the membership of any Committee acting as Administrator the requirements regarding (1) “nonemployee directors” within the meaning of Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act; (2) “independent directors” as described in the listing requirements for any stock exchange on which Shares are listed; and (3) Section 14.b.1 of the Plan if the Company pays salaries for which it claims on its U.S. tax returns deductions that are subject to the Code section 162(m) limitation.  The Board will determine any Committee member’s term and may remove a Committee member at any time.  

1


b.

Powers of the Administrator .  The Administrator will, to the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Laws and the Plan, have full and sole discretionary authority:

i.

to determine Fair Market Value;

ii.

to select the Service Providers to whom Awards may be granted;

iii.

to determine the number of Shares to be covered by each Award;

iv.

to approve forms of agreement for use under the Plan;

v.

to determine the terms and conditions of each Award, including without limitation, the exercise price, amount, the exercise period, vesting conditions, any vesting acceleration, any waiver of forfeiture restrictions, and any other restriction, condition, or limitation regarding any Award or its related Shares;

vi.

to construe and interpret the terms of the Plan and Awards and resolve any disputes regarding Plan and Award provisions;

vii.

to prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to the Plan;

viii.

to modify or amend each Award;

ix.

to allow Participants to satisfy withholding tax obligations as permitted by  Section 13;

x.

to authorize any person to execute instruments to effectuate an Award;

xi.

to delay issuance of Shares or suspend a Participant’s right to exercise an Award to comply with Applicable Laws; and  

xii.

to determine any issues necessary or advisable for administering the Plan.  

c.

Effect of Administrator’s Decision .  Any act or decision of the Administrator will be binding and conclusive on the Company, all Participants, anyone holding an Award, and any person claiming under or through any Participant.  

4.

Eligibility .  ISOs may be granted only to Employees who are subject to U.S. tax.  NSOs, Restricted Stock,  RSUs, SARs, and Other Share-Based Awards may be granted to Service Providers; provided that NSOs and SARs may not be granted to Service Providers of a any Parent if the Service Provider is subject to U.S. tax.  Service Providers include prospective employees or consultants to whom Awards are granted in connection with written offers of employment or engagement of services, respectively, with the Company; provided that no Award granted to a prospective employee or consultant may be exercised or purchased prior to the commencement of employment or services with the Company.

b.

Option Award Agreement .  Each Option will be evidenced by an Award Agreement that will specify the type of Option granted, the exercise price, the number of Shares to which the Option pertains, vesting conditions, the exercise period, restrictions on transferability, and any other terms and conditions specified by the Administrator (which need not be identical among Participants).  If the Award Agreement does not specify that the Option is to be treated as an ISO, the Option will be a NSO.  

c.

Exercise Price .  The exercise price per share with respect to each Option will be determined by the Administrator provided that the exercise price per share cannot be less than the Fair Market Value of a Share on the Grant Date.  

d.

Exercisability .  An Option may be exercised at such time as the Option vests.  No Option will be exercisable after the expiration of ten (10) years from the Grant Date, provided that if an exercise would violate applicable securities laws, the Option will be exercisable no more than thirty (30) days after the exercise of the Option first would no longer violate applicable securities laws.  Subject to the terms of the Plan, Options may be exercised at such times, and in such amount and subject to such restrictions as will be determined by the Administrator, in its discretion.  

e.

Vesting Conditions .  The Administrator may impose any conditions on the vesting of an Option including, but not limited to the achievement of Company-wide, business unit, and individual goals (including, but not limited to continued employment or service).

g.

Exercise of Option .  An Option is exercised when the Company receives: (1) notice of exercise (in such form as the Administrator will specify from time to time) from the person entitled to exercise the Option, and (2) full payment for the Shares with respect to which the Option is exercised (together with all applicable withholding taxes).  An Option may not be exercised for a fraction of a Share.  Full payment may consist of any consideration and method of payment authorized by the Administrator and permitted by the Award Agreement and the Plan (together with all applicable withholding taxes).  Such consideration may consist entirely of:

cash;

ii.

check;

iii.

to the extent not prohibited by Section 402 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, a promissory note;

d.

Exercisability .  A SAR may be exercised at such time as the SAR vests.  No SAR will be exercisable after the expiration of ten (10) years from the Grant Date, provided that if an exercise would violate applicable securities laws, the SAR will be exercisable no more than thirty (30) days after the exercise of the SAR first would no longer violate applicable securities laws.  Subject to the terms of the Plan, SARs may be exercised at such times, and in such amount and subject to such restrictions as will be determined by the Administrator, in its discretion.  

e.

Vesting Conditions .  The Administrator may impose any conditions on the vesting of a SAR including, but not limited to the achievement of Company-wide, business unit, and individual goals (including, but not limited to continued employment or service).

f.

g.

f.

Removal of Restrictions .  All restrictions imposed on Restricted Stock and RSUs will lapse and the Period of Restriction will end upon the satisfaction of the vesting conditions imposed by the Administrator at which time:  

i.

vested Restricted Stock, if held in escrow, will be released from escrow as soon as practicable after the last day of the Period of Restriction or at such other time as the Administrator may determine, but in no event later than the 15 th day of the third month following the end of the year in which vesting occurred, or

11.

Transferability of Awards .  An Award 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 and Options and SARs may be exercised, during the lifetime of the Participant, only by the Participant or the Participant’s legal representative.

7


12.

Adjustments; Dissolution or Liquidation; Merger or Change in Control .  

a.

Adjustments .  In the event of a reorganization, recapitalization, stock split, stock dividend, extraordinary cash dividend, combination of shares, merger, consolidation, rights offering, spin off, split off, split up or other event identified by the Committee, the Committee will equitably adjust (i) the number and kind of shares authorized for issuance under the Plan, (ii) the number and kind of shares subject to outstanding Awards, and (iii) the exercise price of Options and SARs.  

b.

Dissolution or Liquidation .  In the event of the dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Administrator will notify each Participant as soon as practicable prior to the effective date of such transaction.  To the extent it has not been previously exercised, an Award will terminate immediately prior to the dissolution or liquidation.

c.

Change in Control .  In the event of a merger or Change in Control, the surviving or successor entity may either assume the Company’s rights and obligations with respect to outstanding Awards or substitute outstanding Awards for substantially equivalent property (including, but not limited to comparable equity interests in the surviving or successor entity) that are subject to vesting requirements and repurchase restrictions no less favorable to the Participant than those in effect prior to the merger or Change in Control.

In the event that the successor corporation does not assume or substitute Outstanding Awards, the Participant will fully vest in all Awards, all performance goals and vesting criteria will be deemed  to have been achieved at target levels, and all restrictions will lapse.  Any Option or SAR that is not assumed or substituted in the event of a Change in Control, will be exercisable for a period of time determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion.  The Administrator will provide reasonable notice of such exercise period to the Participant, and the Option or SAR will terminate upon the expiration of such exercise period.

For the purposes of this Section 12.c, an Award will be considered assumed if, following the Change in Control, the Award confers a right for each Share or Share equivalent subject to the Award to purchase or receive the consideration (or for an Award payable in cash, the fair market value of the consideration) received for each Share on the date of the transaction.   If holders were offered a choice of consideration, the type of consideration chosen by the holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares will be used.  If the consideration received in the Change in Control is not solely common stock of the successor corporation or its Parent, the Administrator may, with the consent of the successor corporation pay the Award in the form of common stock of the successor corporation or its Parent equal in fair market value to the per share consideration received by holders of Shares in the Change in Control.

Notwithstanding anything in this Section 12.c to the contrary, an Award that vests, is earned or paid-out upon the satisfaction of one or more performance goals will not be considered assumed if the Company or its successor, without the Participant’s consent, modifies any performance goals except a modification made solely to reflect the successor entity's post-Change in Control corporate structure (or similar entity level structure if the successor entity is not a corporation).

8


13.

Tax Withholding .

a.

Withholding Requirements .  Prior to the delivery of any Shares or cash pursuant to an Award (or exercise thereof), the Company will have the power and the right to deduct or withhold, or require a Participant to remit to the Company, an amount sufficient to satisfy federal, state, local, foreign or other taxes required by Applicable Laws to be withheld with respect to such Award (or exercise thereof).

b.

Withholding Arrangements .  The Administrator may permit a Participant to satisfy tax withholding obligations, in whole or in part and without limitation by (i) paying cash, (ii) electing to have the Company withhold otherwise deliverable Shares having a Fair Market Value (as of the date that the taxes should be withheld) equal to the withholding amount, or (iii) delivering to the Company already-owned Shares having a Fair Market Value (as of the date that the taxes should be withheld) equal to the withholding amount.  

14.

Provisions Applicable In the Event the Company or the Service Provider is Subject to U.S. Taxation .

a.

Grant of Incentive Stock Options .  If the Administrator grants Options to Employees that may be subject to U.S. taxation, the Administrator may grant such Employee an ISO.  Section 5 of this Plan and the following terms apply to all grants that are intended to qualify as ISO Awards:
