2008 Grants Pursuant to the Speedemissions, Inc. 2008 Executive Incentive Plan

The primary compensation objective for the 2008 Executive Incentive Plan is to provide a strong incentive to increase shareholder value.

On May 19, 2008, the Compensation Committee of the Speedemissions, Inc. (the “Company”) Board of Directors approved stock option awards to certain named executive officers and directors under the Company’s 2008 Stock Grant and Option Plan. A copy of the plan was filed in the Company’s proxy statement filed on April 18, 2008 and approved by the shareholders on May 19, 2008. The award date is May 19, 2008.

Short-term incentive compensation

The executive officers annual Target Bonus is determined as a percentage of annual salary. The Compensation Committee decided to forgo setting an annual Target Bonus in 2008 under the Executive Incentive Compensation Plan as the Company’s net income (loss) was expected to fluctuate based on the scope, expense and timing of its expansion plans. No Target Bonus will be earned or paid as short-term incentive compensation in 2008.

The Company may award discretionary bonuses outside of the annual Target Bonus, for extraordinary individual performance under the Executive Incentive Plan. The Company may or may not award a discretionary cash bonus, and any amount awarded varies according to the achievement of the corporate and individual performance objectives.

Equity based incentives
