During the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company issued 15,000 Placement Agent warrants in connection with the sale of series E preferred stock raised in Note 5. The warrants have the same terms as the Series E warrants noted above. The warrants were not deemed to be derivative instruments because they do not have a reset feature, and therefore no liability were recorded related to the warrants. The Company valued these warrants using the Black-Scholes option pricing model totaling $18,210 under the following assumptions: $1.25 stock price, $2.00 exercise price, 7 years to maturity, 170.67% volatility, and 1.38% risk free rate. Options The Companys 2009 Employee Stock Incentive Plan (the 2009 Plan) was adopted by the Companys Board of Directors on February 9, 2009 in order to motivate participants by means of stock options and restricted stock to achieve the Companys long-term performance goals and enable our employees, officers, directors and consultants to participate in our long term growth and financial success. The 2009 Plan, which is administered by our Board of Directors, currently authorizes the issuance of a maximum of 3,000,000 (as of January 1, 2016) shares of our common stock, which may be authorized and unissued shares or treasury shares. Employee options shall be deemed Incentive Stock Options (as defined in the 2009 Option Plan) to the maximum extent permitted by Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code including a five-year limit on exercise for 10% or greater stockholders with any excess grant to the above individuals over the limits set by Section 422 being Non-Qualified Stock Options as defined in the 2009 Option Plan. Both the Incentive Stock Options or any Non-Qualified Stock Options must be granted at an exercise price of not less than the fair market value of shares of common stock at the time the option is granted and Incentive Stock Options granted to 10% or greater stockholders must be granted at an exercise price of not less than 110% of the fair market value of the shares on the date of grant. If any award under the 2009 Plan terminates, expires unexercised, or is cancelled, the shares of common stock that would otherwise have been issuable pursuant thereto will be available for issuance pursuant to the grant of new awards. The 2009 Plan will terminate on February 9, 2019.
