(including any other powers given to the Administrator hereunder), and except as otherwise provided
by the Board, the Administrator shall have the authority, in its discretion:



                        (a)     to determine the eligibility of Grants, the classes of bands and the range of number of
Shares covered in each Band, to authorize and determine the number of shares of each Grant;



                        (b)     to approve forms of Option Agreements for use under the Plan;

                        (c)     to determine to grant Options with or without SARs;



                        (d)     to determine that the Options granted shall be either Incentive Share Options or
Non-Statutory Share Options or a combination thereof;



                        (e)     to determine the exercise price applicable to the Share covered by each Option;



                        (f) to determine the Option Period applicable thereto;



                        (g)     to establish additional terms, conditions, rules or procedures to accommodate the rules or
laws of applicable foreign jurisdictions and to afford Optionees favourable treatment under such
rules or laws; provided, however, that no Grant shall be granted under any such
additional terms, conditions, rules or procedures with terms or conditions which are inconsistent
with the provisions of the Plan;



                        (h)     to amend the terms of any outstanding Grant granted under the Plan;



                        (i)     to construe and interpret the terms of the Plan and Grants, including without limitation,
any notice of Grant or Option Agreement, granted pursuant to the Plan; and



                        (j)     to take such other action, not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, as the
Administrator deems appropriate.



     5.     Eligibility.



             Incentive Share Options may be granted only to Employees of the Company, a Parent or a
Subsidiary. Grants other than Incentive Share Options may be granted to Employees, Directors and
Consultants. An Employee, Director or Consultant who has been granted a Grant may, if otherwise
eligible, be granted additional Grants. Grants may be granted to such Employees, Directors or
Consultants who are residing in foreign jurisdictions as the Administrator may determine from time
to time.



     6.     Type of Grants; Terms and Conditions of Grants.



             Grants under the Plan may consist of one or more of the following: Options, SARs, or
Restricted Shares (which may be granted as Restricted Share units). Awards of Restricted Shares
may provide the Optionee with dividends or dividend equivalents and voting rights prior to vesting.
Each Grant shall be designated in the Option Agreement.



             6.1     Options.



                        (a)     Option Designation. In the case of an Option, the Option shall be designated as
either an Incentive Share Option or a Non-Statutory Share Option. However, notwithstanding such
designation, to the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value of Shares subject to Options
designated as Incentive Share Options which become exercisable for the first









 



7

time by an Optionee
during any calendar year (under all plans of the Company or any of its Parent or Subsidiary)
exceeds US$100,000, such excess Options, to the extent of the Shares covered thereby in excess of
the foregoing limitation, shall be treated as Non-Statutory Share Options. For this purpose,
Incentive Share Options shall be taken into account in the order in which they were granted, and
the Fair Market Value of the Shares shall be determined as of the grant date of the relevant
Option.




                        (b)     Option Exercise Price. The exercise price of an Option shall be the Fair Market
Value per Share on the date of grant.



                        (c)     Consideration. In addition to any other types of consideration the Administrator
may determine, the Administrator is authorized to accept as consideration for Shares issued under
the Plan the following: (i) cash or check in U.S. dollars (in connection therewith the
Administrator may require the Optionee to provide evidence that the funds were taken out of any
relevant non-U.S. jurisdiction in accordance with applicable foreign exchange control laws and
regulations); (ii) cancellation of indebtedness owed by the Company to the Optionee; (iii)
promissory note; (iv) Shares previously acquired by the Optionee valued at the Fair Market Value at
the time of the exercise; (v) withholding from delivery to the Optionee that number of whole Shares
having a Fair Market Value at the time of the exercise equal to the exercise price payable to the
Company upon exercise of the Option; or (vi) any combination of the foregoing methods of payment.



                        (d)     Easy-Sale Exercise.



                        (i)     Exercise/Sale. An Option Agreement may, but need not, provide that, if Shares are
publicly traded, all or part of the exercise price of an Option and any withholding taxes may be
paid by the delivery (on a form prescribed by the Company) of an irrevocable direction to a
securities broker approved by the Company to sell Shares and to deliver all or part of the sales
proceeds to the Company.



                        (ii)     Exercise/Pledge. An Option Agreement may, but need not, provide that, if Shares
are publicly traded, all or part of the exercise price of an Option and any withholding taxes may
be paid by the delivery (on a form prescribed by the Company) of an irrevocable direction to pledge
Shares to a securities broker or lender approved by the Company, as security for a loan, and to
deliver all or part of the loan proceeds to the Company.



             6.2     SARs.



                        (a)     Grant. SARs may be granted in tandem with an Option, in addition to an Option, or
may be freestanding and unrelated to an Option. SARs granted in tandem or in addition to an Option
may be granted either at the same time as the Option or at a later time. SARs shall vest and
become exercisable at a rate determined by the Administrator, and shall remain exercisable for such
period as specified by the Administrator. A SAR shall entitle the Optionee to receive from the
Company an amount equal to the excess of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the exercise of the
SAR over the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant or, in the case of an SAR granted in
tandem with an Option, the per Share exercise price applicable to such Option.









 



8


                        (b)     Settlement. The Administrator shall determine in its sole discretion whether the
SAR shall be settled in cash, Shares or a combination of cash and Shares. In no event may any
Optionee receive grants of SARs with respect to more than three percent (3%) of the issued share
capital of the Company in any calendar year.



             6.3     Restricted Shares.



                        (a)     Grant. Restricted Shares may be granted in the form of Shares or share units
having a value equal to an identical number of Shares. The employment conditions and the length of
the period for vesting of Restricted Shares shall be established by the Administrator at time of
grant. In the event that a share certificate is issued in respect of Restricted Shares, such
certificate shall be registered in the name of the Optionee but shall be held by the Company until
the end of the restricted period. During the restricted period, Restricted Shares may not be sold,
assigned, transferred or otherwise disposed of, or pledged or hypothecated as collateral for a loan
or as security for the performance of any obligation or for any other purpose as the Administrator
shall determine.



                        (b)     Settlement. The Administrator shall determine in its sole discretion whether
Restricted Shares granted in the form of share units shall be paid in cash, Shares, or a
combination of cash and Shares.



             6.4     Conditions of Grant; Vesting and Repurchase Right. Subject to the terms of the Plan, the
Administrator shall determine the provisions, terms, and conditions of each Grant including, but
not limited to, the Grant vesting schedule, repurchase provisions, rights of first refusal,
forfeiture provisions, form of payment (cash, Shares, or other consideration) upon settlement of
the Grant, payment contingencies, and satisfaction of any performance criteria, provided,
however, unless specifically provided otherwise in the relevant Option Agreement, a total
of one-third (1/3rd) of the Grant shall vest at the 1st anniversary following
the issuance of such Grant and, subsequently, a total of one-thirty-sixth (1/36th) of
the Grant shall vest at the end of each month of the 2nd and 3rd years for so
long as the Optionee provides Continuous Service to the Company, such that the entire Grant shall
be fully vested three (3) years from the date of the Grant.



             6.5     Acquisitions and Other Transactions. The Administrator may issue Grants under the Plan in
settlement, assumption or substitution for, outstanding Grants or
obligations to grant future Grants in connection with the Company or a Related Entity
acquiring another entity, an interest in another entity or an additional interest in a Related
Entity whether by merger, share purchase, asset purchase or other form of transaction.



             6.6     Deferral of Grant Payment. The Administrator may establish one or more programs under the
Plan to permit selected Optionees the opportunity to elect to defer receipt of consideration upon
exercise of a Grant, satisfaction of performance criteria, or other event that absent the election
would entitle the Optionee to payment or receipt of Shares or other consideration under a Grant.
The Administrator may establish the election procedures, the timing of such elections, the
mechanisms for payments of, and accrual of interest or other earnings, if any, on amounts, Shares
or other consideration so deferred, and such other terms,









 



9

conditions, rules and procedures that the
Administrator deems advisable for the administration of any such deferral program.




             6.7     Award Exchange Programs. The Administrator may establish one or more programs under the
Plan to permit selected Optionees to exchange a Grant under the Plan for one or more other types of
Grants under the Plan on such terms and conditions as determined by the Administrator from time to
time.



             6.8     Separate Programs. The Administrator may establish one or more separate programs under
the Plan for the purpose of issuing particular forms of Grants to one or more classes of Optionees
on such terms and conditions as determined by the Administrator from time to time.



             6.9     Early Exercise. The Option Agreement may, but need not, include a provision whereby the
Optionee may elect, at any time while being an Employee, Director or Consultant, to exercise any
part or all of the Grant prior to full vesting of the Grant. Any unvested Shares received pursuant
to such exercise may be subject to a repurchase right in favor of the Company or a Related Entity
or to any other restriction the Administrator determines to be appropriate.



             6.10     Option Period. The Option Period shall be the term stated in the Option Agreement up to
ten (10) years from the Effective Date of Grant thereof or such shorter term as may be provided in
the Option Agreement.



             6.11     Transferability of Grants. No Grant may 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 may be exercised, during the lifetime of the Optionee, only by the Optionee;
provided, however, during the lifetime of the Optionee, SARs may be transferred by
gift to members of the Optionee’s Immediate Family to the extent and manner determined by the
Administrator.



             6.12     Time of Grants. The date of grant of a Grant shall for all purposes be the date on which
the Administrator makes the determination to grant such Grant, or such other date as is determined
by the Administrator. Notice of the grant determination shall be given to each Employee, Director
or Consultant to whom a Grant is so granted within a reasonable time after
the date of such grant. Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, Grants will be made
twice a year.



             6.13     Buyout Provisions. The Administrator may at any time offer to buy out for a payment in
cash or Shares or other consideration, any Grant previously granted based on such terms and
conditions as the Administrator shall establish and communicate to the Optionee at the time such
offer is made.



     7.     Withholding.



     The Company shall have the right to deduct from any payment to be made pursuant to the Plan
the amount of any taxes required by law to be withheld therefrom, or to require an Optionee to pay
to the Company such amount required to be withheld prior to the









 



10



issuance or delivery of any Shares
or the payment of cash under the Plan. The Administrator may, in its discretion, permit an
Optionee to elect to satisfy such withholding obligation by having the Company retain the number of
Shares whose Fair Market Value equals the amount required to be withheld. Any fraction of a Share
required to satisfy such obligation shall be disregarded and the amount due shall instead be paid
in cash by the Optionee.




     8.     Exercise of Grant.



             8.1     Procedure for Exercise; Rights as a Shareholder.



                        (a)     Any Grant granted hereunder shall be exercisable at such times and under such conditions
as determined by the Administrator under the terms of the Plan and specified in the Option
Agreement provided always that any calculation of any period for vesting as aforesaid shall (i) be
suspended during any period beginning when the Optionee ceases Continuous Service until such
Optionee resumes Continuous Service, (ii) be suspended during the period of suspension referred to
in Section 8.2 below, and (iii) cease upon death of the Optionee and upon the lapse of the Option
for whatsoever reason and in such event of such cessation any vesting which has not taken place
shall automatically cease and lapse, and provided further that the Company shall not be liable in
any way nor shall the Optionee at any time have any rights (whatsoever) against the Company in
relation to such suspension, cessation of and/or lapse of vesting as aforesaid.



                        (b)     A Grant shall be deemed to be exercised when written notice of such exercise has been
given to the Company, as in a form required under the applicable Option Agreement, in accordance
with the terms of the Grant by the person entitled to exercise the Grant and full payment for the
Shares is made with respect to which the Grant is exercised. Until the issuance (as evidenced by
the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the
Company) of the share certificate evidencing such Shares, no right to vote or receive dividends or
any other rights as a shareholder shall exist with respect to Shares subject to a Grant,
notwithstanding the exercise of an Option or other Grant. The Company shall issue (or cause to be
issued) such share certificate as soon as practicable
following the exercise of the Grant. No adjustment will be made for a dividend or other right
for which the record date is prior to the date the share certificate is issued, except as provided
in the Option Agreement or Section 10, below.



             8.2     Misconduct. If an Optionee is found guilty of serious misconduct or has been convicted of
any criminal offence involving his integrity or honesty, any Option of his then subsisting shall
automatically lapse and become of no further effect on the date such verdict is given by the
relevant court of law, body or authority, and if any investigation is being carried out on the
Optionee in respect of any of the matters referred to above or if his office or duties as an
Employee or Consultant is/are suspended in connection therewith, then his right to exercise the
Option shall automatically be suspended for such period as the Board may in its discretion
determine.



             8.3     Death or Disability of Optionee.









 



11


                        (a)     If an Optionee’s Continuous Service is terminated due to death or Disability more than
three (3) months after such Optionee commenced service for the Company, the portion of the Grant
that would have vested at the 1st anniversary of such Optionee’s Continuous Service
shall automatically vest and be exercisable in accordance with and subject to paragraph (c) below.



                        (b)     If an Optionee’s Continuous Service is terminated due to death or Disability any time
following any anniversary of such Optionee’s Continuous Service, the portion of the Grant that would
have vested between such anniversary and the subsequent anniversary (and which have not already
vested) of such Optionee’s Continuous Service shall automatically vest and be exercisable in
accordance with and subject to paragraph (c) below.



                        (c)     If an Optionee’s Continuous Service is terminated due to death or Disability, the Option
or SAR may be exercised at any time within twelve (12) months following the date of death or
termination of employment due to Disability, in the case of death, by the Optionee’s estate or by a
person who acquired the right to exercise the Option or SAR by bequest or inheritance, or, in the
case of Disability, by the Optionee, but in any case (i) only to the extent the Optionee was
entitled to exercise the Option or SAR at the date of his or her termination of Continuous Service
by death or Disability or (ii) to such further extent as set forth in paragraphs (a) and (b) above;
provided, however, that no Option or SAR shall be exercisable after the expiration
of the term set forth in the Option Agreement. To the extent that such Optionee was not entitled
to exercise such Option or SAR at the date of his or her termination of employment by death or
Disability as augmented by the provisions of paragraphs (a) and (b) above or if such Option or SAR
is not exercised (to the extent it could be exercised) within the time specified herein, the Option
or SAR shall terminate.



             8.4     Extension of Time to Exercise. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section
8, the Administrator may at any time and from time to time prior to the termination of a
Non-Statutory Share Option, with the consent of the Optionee, extend the period of time during
which the Optionee may exercise his or her Non-Statutory Share Option following the date the
Optionee’s ceases Continuous Services; provided, however, that (a) the maximum
period of time during which a Non-Statutory Share Option shall be exercisable following such
termination date shall not exceed an aggregate of six (6) months, (b) the Non-Statutory Share
Option shall not become exercisable after the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in
the Option Agreement as a result of such extension, and (c) notwithstanding any extension of time
during which the Non-Statutory Share Option may be exercised, such Option, unless otherwise amended
by the Administrator, shall only be exercisable to the extent to which the Optionee was entitled to
exercise it on the date the Optionee ceased Continuous Services. To the extent that such Optionee
was not entitled to exercise the Option at the date of such termination, or if such Optionee does
not exercise an Option which the Optionee was entitled to exercise within the time specified
herein, the Option shall terminate.



             8.5     No compensation. Upon the lapse of an Option for whatsoever reason, under no circumstances
whatsoever shall an Optionee or any person whomsoever be entitled to any compensation for or in
respect of any consequential diminution or extinction of any rights or benefits (actual or
prospective) under and/or in relation to such Option subsisting prior to such lapse or otherwise in
anyway in connection with the Plan or such Option, including without









 



12

limitation, where such lapse
is by reason of termination of the Optionee’s office or employment by the Company or any Subsidiary
which is a breach of the contract of employment or otherwise, and/or whether the Optionee has any
rights against the Company or any Subsidiary for and/or in relation to such termination.




     9.     Conditions Upon Issuance of Shares.



             9.1     No Violation of Law. Shares shall not be issued pursuant to a Grant or the exercise of a
Grant unless the exercise of such Grant and the issuance and delivery of such Shares pursuant
thereto shall comply with all Applicable Laws, and the Administrator may further subject any
issuance of Shares to the approval of counsel for the Company with respect to such compliance.



             9.2     Execution of Documents. As a condition to the exercise of a Grant, the Administrator may
require the person exercising such Grant to execute an investment representation statement
acceptable to the Company or a share purchase agreement acceptable to the Company, each in forms
approved by the Administrator from time to time, in addition to any other instrument the
Administrator deems necessary or advisable.



     10.     Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization or Corporate Transaction.



             10.1     Adjustments upon Changes in Capitalization. Subject to any required action by the
shareholders of the Company, the number of Shares covered by each outstanding Grant, and the number
of Shares which have been authorized for issuance under the Plan but as to which no Grants have yet
been granted or which have been returned to the Plan, the exercise or purchase price of each such
outstanding Grant, as well as any other terms that the Administrator determines require adjustment
shall be proportionately adjusted for (a) any increase or decrease in the number of issued Shares
resulting from a share split, reverse share split, share dividend, combination or reclassification
of the Shares, or similar transaction
affecting the Shares, (b) any other increase or decrease in the number of issued Shares
effected without receipt of consideration by the Company, or (c) as the Administrator may determine
in its discretion, any other transaction with respect to Shares to which Section 424(a) of the Code
applies or a similar transaction; provided, however, that conversion of any
convertible securities of the Company shall not be deemed to have been “effected without receipt of
consideration.” Such adjustment shall be made by the Administrator and its determination shall be
final, binding and conclusive. Except as the Administrator determines, no issuance by the Company
of shares of any class, or securities convertible into shares of any class, shall affect, and no
adjustment by reason hereof shall be made with respect to, the number or price of Shares subject to
a Grant.



             10.2     Corporate Transaction. In the event of a proposed Corporate Transaction, subject to the
actual consummation of the proposed transaction, each outstanding Grant shall automatically become
fully vested and exercisable, unless the Grant is assumed or substituted with an equivalent option
or right by the successor corporation or the Parent or Subsidiary thereof. If the successor
corporation refuses to assume or substitute for the Grant, the Administrator shall notify the
Optionee that the Grant shall be fully vested and exercisable with respect to all of the Shares
underlying the Grant (including Shares as to which it would not otherwise be vested or exercisable)
for a period of fifteen (15) days from the date of such notice.









 



13

If the Grant thus becomes fully
vested and exercisable but is not exercised during this fifteen (15) day period, it shall terminate
immediately prior to the effective time of such Corporate Transaction. For the purposes of this
Section 10.2, the Grant shall be considered assumed or substituted with an equivalent option or
right if, in connection with the Corporate Transaction, the Grant is replaced with a comparable
option or right with respect to shares of the successor corporation or Parent or Subsidiary thereof
or is replaced with a cash incentive program of the successor corporation or Parent or Subsidiary
thereof which preserves the compensation element of such Grant existing at the time of the
Corporate Transaction and provides for subsequent payout in accordance with the same vesting
schedule applicable to such Grant. The determination of Grant comparability above shall be made by
the Administrator and its determination shall be final, binding and conclusive.




             10.3     Liquidation Event. In the event of a proposed Liquidation Event, the Administrator shall
notify each Optionee of the proposed event at least twenty (20) days prior to the proposed
effective date of the Liquidation Event. The Administrator in its discretion may provide for an
Optionee to have the right to exercise his or her Grant until ten (10) days prior to the proposed
effective date for the Liquidation Event with respect to all Shares underlying the Grant (including
Shares as to which it would not otherwise be vested or exercisable), subject to the actual
completion of the Liquidation Event at the time and in the manner contemplated. In addition, the
Administrator may provide that any Company repurchase option applicable to any Shares issued upon
grant or an exercise of a Grant shall lapse as to all Shares, subject to the actual completion of
the Liquidation Event at the time and in the manner contemplated. Any unexercised Grant shall
terminate immediately prior to effective time of the Liquidation Event.



     11.     Effective Date and Term of Plan.



             The Plan, and any amendments to the Plan, shall become effective upon its adoption by the
Board. It shall continue in effect until the end of 2008 unless sooner terminated. Subject to
Applicable Laws, Grants may be granted under the Plan upon its becoming effective.



             Upon the effectiveness of this Plan, no additional grants of Options shall be made under the
Old Plans. Options previously issued and outstanding pursuant to the Old Plans shall continue to
be governed under the rules of the Old Plans.



     12.     Amendment, Suspension or Termination of the Plan.



             The Board may at any time amend, suspend or terminate the Plan. No Grant may be granted
during any suspension of the Plan or after termination of the Plan. Any amendment, suspension or
termination of the Plan (including termination of the Plan pursuant to this Section 12) shall not
affect Grants already granted, and such Grants shall remain in full force and effect as if the Plan
had not been amended, suspended or terminated, unless mutually agreed otherwise between the
Optionee and the Administrator, which agreement must be in writing and signed by the Optionee and
the Company.

     13.     Availability of Shares; No Issuance in Violation of Law.



             13.1     Availability of Shares. The Company, during the term of the Plan, will at all times keep
available such number of unissued Shares as shall be sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the
Plan.



             13.2     No Issuance in Violation of Law. The inability of the Company to obtain authority from
any regulatory body having jurisdiction under Applicable Law, which authority is deemed by the
Company’s counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any Shares hereunder, shall
relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to issue or sell such Shares as to
which such requisite authority shall not have been obtained.



     14.     No Effect on Terms of Employment/Consulting Relationship.



             The Plan shall not confer upon any Optionee any right with respect to the Optionee’s
Continuous Service, nor shall it interfere in any way with his or her right or the Company’s or a
Related Entity’s right to terminate the Optionee’s Continuous Service at any time, with or without
cause.



     15.     No Effect on Retirement and Other Benefit Plans.



             Except as specifically required by law or provided in a retirement or other benefit plan of
the Company or a Related Entity, Grants shall not be deemed compensation for purposes of computing
benefits or contributions under any retirement plan of the Company or a Related Entity, and shall
not affect any benefits under any other benefit plan of any kind or any benefit plan subsequently
instituted under which the availability or amount of benefits is related to level of compensation.
The Plan is not a “Retirement Plan” or “Welfare Plan” under the U.S. Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974, as amended.



     16.     Liability of the Company; Consents.



             16.1     Qualification as Incentive Share Option. Neither the Company nor any Related Entity
shall be liable to any Optionee or to any other person if it is determined that an Option intended
to be an Incentive Share Option granted hereunder does not qualify as incentive share options
within the meaning of Section 422 or the Code.



             16.2     Consents. Optionee shall be responsible for obtaining any governmental or other official
consent that may be required by any country or jurisdiction in order to permit the grant or
exercise of any Grant. Neither the Company nor any Related Entity shall be responsible for any
failure by an Optionee to obtain such consent or for any tax or other liability to which an
Optionee may become subject to as a result of his or her participation in the Plan.
