This Plan shall be administered by the Committee, which may delegate its duties and powers in whole or in part to any subcommittee thereof.  Additionally, the Committee may delegate the authority to grant Share Awards under the Plan to any employee or group of employees of the Company or an Affiliate; provided that such delegation and grants are consistent with Applicable Law and guidelines established by the Board from time to time.

The Committee is authorized to interpret the Plan, to establish, amend and rescind any rules and regulations relating to the Plan, and to make any other determinations that it deems 

4






necessary or desirable for the administration of the Plan. The Committee may correct any defect or supply any omission or reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan in the manner and to the extent the Committee deems necessary or desirable.  Any decision of the Committee in the interpretation and administration of the Plan, as described herein, shall lie within its sole and absolute discretion and shall be final, conclusive and binding on all parties concerned (including, but not limited to, Participants and their beneficiaries or successors).  The Committee shall have the full power and authority to establish the terms and conditions of any Share Award Agreement consistent with the provisions of the Plan and to waive any such terms and conditions at any time (including, without limitation, accelerating or waiving any vesting conditions).  The Committee shall require payment of any amount it may reasonably determine to be necessary to withhold for federal, state, local and/or non-U.S. taxes as a result of the exercise, grant or vesting of a Share Award (including, without limitation, any applicable income, employment and social security taxes or contributions).  The Committee shall also determine the acceptable form or forms pursuant to which the Participant will be able to elect to pay a portion of or all such withholding taxes.  To the extent permitted by the Committee in the Share Award Agreement or otherwise and, in each case, as permitted under Applicable Law, a Participant may elect to pay a portion or all of any withholding taxes (but no more than the minimum amount required to be withheld) by (a) delivery in Shares if permissible under local law, or (b) having Shares withheld (if permissible under local law) by the Company from any Shares that would have otherwise been received by the Participant.  
4.Shares Subject to the Plan and Participation.
Subject to Section 9, the total number of Shares which may be issued under this Plan is 2,149,419, which number is also the maximum number of Shares for which ISOs may be granted.  The Shares may consist, in whole or in part, of unissued Shares or treasury Shares.  The issuance of Shares or the payment of cash upon the exercise of a Share Award or in consideration of the cancellation or termination of a Share Award shall reduce the total number of Shares available under this Plan, as applicable.  Shares which are subject to Share Awards which terminate or lapse without the payment of consideration may be granted again under the Plan, unless prohibited by Applicable Law.  
Employees, directors and other service providers of the Company and its Affiliates (subject to Section 5(b) of this Plan) shall be eligible to be selected to receive Share Awards under the Plan; provided that ISOs may only be granted to employees of the Company and its Affiliates.  
5.General Limitations.
(a)Tenth Anniversary.  No Share Award may be granted under this Plan after the tenth anniversary of the Effective Date, but Share Awards theretofore granted may extend beyond such date.
(b)Consultants.  Prior to an Initial Public Offering, a Consultant shall not be eligible for the grant of a Share Award if, at the time of grant, either the offer or the sale of the Company’s securities to such Consultant is not exempt under Rule 701 of the Securities Act (“Rule 701”), unless the Company determines that such grant need not comply with the requirements of Rule 701 and will satisfy another exemption under the Securities Act, as well as comply with the securities laws of any other relevant jurisdictions.
6.Terms and Conditions of Options.
Options granted under this Plan shall be, as determined by the Committee, non-qualified or ISOs for federal income tax purposes, as evidenced by the related Share Award Agreements, and shall be subject to the foregoing and the following terms and conditions and to such other terms and conditions, not inconsistent therewith, as the Committee shall determine.

5






(a)Option Price.  The Option Price per Share shall be determined by the Committee, but shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date an Option is granted (other than in the case of Options granted in substitution of previously granted awards, as described in Section 3 hereof).
(b)Exercisability.  Options granted under this Plan shall be exercisable at such time and upon such terms and conditions as may be determined by the Committee, but in no event shall an Option be exercisable more than ten years after the date it is granted.  Subject to such ten-year limitation, in the event that the Participant’s Employment is terminated for any reason other than Cause, then any Option that is exercisable on the date of termination shall remain exercisable for a period of (i) six (6) months after the date of termination if the termination was caused by the Participant’s death or Disability and (ii) thirty (30) days after the date of termination if the termination was caused by other than the Participant’s death or Disability, or such longer period as may be specified in the applicable Share Award Agreement.
(c)Exercise of Options.  Except as otherwise provided in this Plan or in the applicable Share Award Agreement, an Option may be exercised for all, or from time to time any part, of the Shares for which it is then exercisable.  For purposes of this Section 6, the exercise date of an Option shall be the later of the date a notice of exercise is received by the Company and, if applicable, the date payment is received by the Company pursuant to clauses (i), (ii)(A), (ii)(B), (ii)(C), or (ii)(D) of the following sentence.  The purchase price for the Shares as to which an Option is exercised shall be paid to the Company (i) in cash or its equivalent (e.g., by personal check or wire transfer), or (ii) to the extent explicitly permitted by the Committee in the applicable Share Award Agreement or otherwise, pursuant to one or more of the following methods: (A) in Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the aggregate Option Price for the Shares being purchased and satisfying such other reasonable requirements as may be imposed by the Committee; provided that such Shares have been held by the Participant for no less than six months (or such other period as established from time to time by the Committee in order to avoid adverse accounting treatment applying generally accepted accounting principles); (B) partly in cash and partly in such Shares; (C) following an Initial Public Offering, through the delivery of irrevocable instructions to a broker to sell Shares obtained upon the exercise of the Option and to deliver promptly to the Company an amount out of the proceeds of such sale equal to the aggregate Option Price for the Shares being purchased; or (D) through net settlement in Shares.  No Participant shall have any rights to dividends or other rights of a shareholder with respect to Shares subject to an Option until the Participant has given written notice of exercise of the Option, paid in full for such Shares and, if applicable, has satisfied any other conditions imposed by the Committee pursuant to this Plan.
(d)ISOs.  The Committee may grant Options under the Plan that are intended to be ISOs.  Such ISOs shall comply with the requirements of Section 422 of the Code (or any successor section thereto).  No ISO may be granted to any Participant who at the time of such grant, owns more than ten percent of the total combined voting power of all classes of shares of the Company or of any Subsidiary, unless (i) the Option Price for such ISO is at least 110% of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date the ISO is granted and (ii) the date on which such ISO terminates is a date not later than the day preceding the fifth anniversary of the date on which the ISO is granted.  Any Participant who disposes of Shares acquired upon the exercise of an ISO either (i) within two years after the date of grant of such ISO or (ii) within one year after the transfer of such Shares to the Participant, shall notify the Company of such disposition and of the amount realized upon such disposition.  All Options granted under the Plan are intended to be nonqualified options, unless the applicable Share Award Agreement expressly states that the Option is intended to be an ISO.  If an Option is intended to be an ISO, and if for any reason such Option (or portion thereof) shall not 

6






qualify as an ISO, then, to the extent of such nonqualification, such Option (or portion thereof) shall be regarded as a nonqualified option granted under this Plan; provided that such Option (or portion thereof) otherwise complies with this Plan’s requirements relating to nonqualified options.  In no event shall any member of the Committee, the Company or any of its Affiliates (or their respective employees, officers or directors) have any liability to any Participant (or any other Person) due to the failure of an Option to qualify for any reason as an ISO.
(e)Attestation.  Wherever in this Plan or any Share Award Agreement a Participant is permitted to pay the exercise price of an Option or taxes relating to the exercise of an Option by delivering Shares, the Participant may, subject to procedures satisfactory to the Committee, satisfy such delivery requirement by presenting proof of beneficial ownership of such Shares, in which case the Company shall treat the Option as exercised without further payment and/or shall withhold such number of Shares from the Shares acquired by the exercise of the Option, as appropriate.
7.Terms and Conditions of Share Appreciation Rights.
(a)Grants.  The Committee may grant (i) a Share Appreciation Right independent of an Option or (ii) a Share Appreciation Right in connection with an Option, or a portion thereof.  A Share Appreciation Right granted pursuant to clause (ii) of the preceding sentence (A) may be granted at the time the related Option is granted or at any time prior to the exercise or cancellation of the related Option, (B) shall cover the same number of Shares covered by an Option (or such lesser number of Shares as the Committee may determine) and (C) shall be subject to the same terms and conditions as such Option except for such additional limitations as are contemplated by this Section 7 (or such additional limitations as may be included in the applicable Share Award Agreement). 
(b)Terms.  The exercise price per Share of a Share Appreciation Right shall be an amount determined by the Committee but in no event shall such amount be less than the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date the Share Appreciation Right is granted (other than in the case of Share Appreciation Rights granted in substitution of previously granted awards, as described in Section 3); provided, however, that in the case of a Share Appreciation Right granted in conjunction with an Option, or a portion thereof, the exercise price may not be less than the Option Price of the related Option.  Each Share Appreciation Right granted independent of an Option shall entitle a Participant upon exercise to an amount equal to (i) the excess of (A) the Fair Market Value on the exercise date of one Share over (B) the exercise price per Share, times (ii) the number of Shares covered by the Share Appreciation Right.  Each Share Appreciation Right granted in conjunction with an Option, or a portion thereof, shall entitle a Participant to surrender to the Company the unexercised Option, or any portion thereof, and to receive from the Company in exchange therefore an amount equal to (i) the excess of (A) the Fair Market Value on the exercise date of one Share over (B) the Option Price per Share, times (ii) the number of Shares covered by the Option, or portion thereof, which is surrendered.  In addition, each Share Appreciation Right that is granted in conjunction with an Option or a portion thereof shall automatically terminate upon the exercise of such Option or portion thereof, as applicable.  Payment shall be made in Shares or in cash, or partly in Shares and partly in cash (any such Shares valued at such Fair Market Value), all as shall be determined by the Committee.  Share Appreciation Rights may be exercised from time to time upon actual receipt by the Company of written notice of exercise stating the number of Shares with respect to which the Share Appreciation Right is being exercised.  The date a notice of exercise is received by the Company shall be the exercise date.  No fractional Shares will be issued in payment for Share Appreciation Rights, but instead cash will be 

7






paid for a fraction or, if the Committee should so determine, the number of Shares will be rounded downward to the next whole Share. 
(c)Limitations.   The Committee may impose, in its discretion, such conditions upon the exercisability of Share Appreciation Rights as it may deem fit, but in no event shall a Share Appreciation Right be exercisable more than ten years after the date it is granted.  
8.Other Share-Based Awards.
The Committee, in its sole discretion, may grant or sell Share Awards, Share Awards of restricted Shares and Share Awards that are valued in whole or in part by reference to, or are otherwise based on the Fair Market Value of, Shares (“Other Share-Based Awards”).  Such Other Share-Based Awards shall be in such form, and dependent on such conditions, as the Committee shall determine, including, without limitation, the right to receive, or vest with respect to, one or more Shares (or the equivalent cash value of such Shares) upon the completion of a specified period of service, the occurrence of an event and/or the attainment of performance objectives.  Other Share-Based Awards may be granted alone or in addition to any other Share Awards granted under the Plan.  Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Committee shall determine to whom and when Other Share-Based Awards will be made; the number of Shares to be awarded under (or otherwise related to) such Other Share-Based Awards; whether such Other Share-Based Awards shall be settled in cash, Shares or a combination of cash and Shares; and all other terms and conditions of such Other Share-Based Awards (including, without limitation, the vesting provisions thereof and provisions ensuring that all Shares so awarded and issued shall be fully paid and non-assessable).  
9.Adjustments upon Certain Events.
Notwithstanding any other provision in this Plan to the contrary, the following provisions shall apply to all Share Awards granted hereunder:


(a)Generally.  In the event of any change in the outstanding Shares after the Effective Date by reason of any Share dividend, Share split or reverse split, reorganization, recapitalization, merger, amalgamation, consolidation, spin-off, combination, transaction or exchange of Shares or other corporate exchange, or any cash dividend or distribution to shareholders other than ordinary cash dividends or any transaction similar to the foregoing or in the event of an initial public offering of the equity securities of Parent, the Committee shall make such proportionate substitution or adjustment, if any, as it deems to be equitable (subject to Section 17), as to (i) the number or kind of Shares or other securities issued or reserved for issuance pursuant to the Plan or pursuant to outstanding Share Awards, (ii) the Option Price or exercise price of any Share Appreciation Right and/or (iii) any other affected terms of such Share Awards; provided, that, for the avoidance of doubt, in the case of the occurrence of any of the foregoing events that is an “equity restructuring” (within the meaning of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standard Codification (ASC) Section 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation (FASB ASC 718)), the Committee shall make an equitable adjustment to outstanding Share Awards to reflect such event; and provided, further, that in the case of any Share dividend, Share split or reverse split, recapitalization, combination, reclassification or other distribution of the Company’s equity securities with respect to the Shares without receipt of consideration by the Company, the Committee shall make a proportionate adjustment.  
(b)Change in Control.  In the event of a Change in Control after the Effective Date, the Committee may (subject to Section 17 and any Participant’s rights under a Share Award Agreement), but shall not be obligated to, (i) accelerate, vest or cause the restrictions to lapse with respect to all or any portion of a Share Award, (ii) cancel such Share Awards for fair value (as 

8






determined by the Committee in its sole discretion in good faith) which, in the case of Options and Share Appreciation Rights, may equal the excess, if any, of value of the consideration to be paid in the Change in Control transaction, directly or indirectly, to holders of the same number of Shares subject to such Options or Share Appreciation Rights (or, if no consideration is paid in any such transaction, the Fair Market Value of the Shares subject to such Options or Share Appreciation Rights) over the aggregate Option Price of such Options or exercise price of such Share Appreciation Rights, (iii) subject to any limitations or reductions as may be necessary to comply with Sections 424 or 409A of the Code and, in each case, the applicable regulations thereunder, provide for the issuance of substitute Share Awards that will preserve the rights under, and the otherwise applicable terms of, any affected Share Awards previously granted hereunder as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion in good faith, or (iv) provide that for a period of at least 15 days prior to the Change in Control, such Options shall be exercisable as to all Shares subject thereto (whether or not vested) and that upon the occurrence of the Change in Control, such Options shall terminate and be of no further force and effect.  
10.No Right to Employment or Share Awards.
The granting of a Share Award under this Plan shall impose no obligation on the Company or any of its Affiliates to continue the Employment of a Participant and shall not lessen or affect the Company’s right or any of its Affiliates’ rights to terminate the Employment of such Participant for any reason whatsoever, and regardless of whether such termination is with or without Cause or with or without reasonable notice.  No Participant or other Person shall have any claim to be granted any Share Award, and there is no obligation for uniformity of treatment of Participants, or holders or beneficiaries of Share Awards.  The terms and conditions of Share Awards and the Committee’s determinations and interpretations with respect thereto need not be the same with respect to each Participant (whether or not such Participants are similarly situated). 
11.Successors and Assigns.
This Plan shall be binding on all successors and assigns of the Company and each Participant, including without limitation, the estate of each such Participant and the executor, administrator or trustee of any such estate and, if applicable, any receiver or trustee in bankruptcy or representative of the creditors of any such Participant.  
12.Nontransferability of Awards.
Unless expressly permitted by the Committee in a Share Award Agreement or otherwise in writing,  and, in each case, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, a Share Award shall not be transferable or assignable by the applicable Participant other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.  A Share Award exercisable after the death of a Participant may be exercised by the legatees, personal representatives or distributees of the Participant.  
13.Amendments or Termination.
The Board may amend, alter or discontinue the Plan, but no amendment, alteration or discontinuation shall be made, (a) without the approval of the shareholders of the Company, if such action would (except as is provided in Section 9 of the Plan), increase the total number of Shares reserved for the purposes of the Plan or, if applicable, change the maximum number of Shares for which Share Awards may be granted to any Participant, or (b) without the consent of a Participant, if such action would diminish any of the rights of such Participant under any Share Award theretofore granted to such Participant under the Plan; provided, however, that the Committee may amend the Plan in such manner as it deems necessary to permit the granting of Share Awards meeting the requirements of the Code or other Applicable Laws (including, without limitation, to avoid adverse tax consequences to the Company or to Participants).  

9






14.Choice of Law.
This Plan and the Share Awards granted hereunder shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of the Cayman Islands, without regard to conflicts of law principles thereof.  
15.Effectiveness of the Plan.
This Plan shall be effective as of the Effective Date.
16.Exchange Act Exemption.  
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan or any Share Award Agreement, until such time as the Company becomes subject to the reporting requirements of Sections 12 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, if the Company is relying on the exemption from registration under the Exchange Act set forth in Rule 12h-1(f) under the Exchange Act (the “Employee Options Exemption”) in connection with the grant of Options hereunder or the issuance of Shares upon the exercise of such Options, the Plan, the Options granted hereunder and the Share Award Agreements entered into in connection with such grants are intended to comply with the Employee Options Exemption and, accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, the Plan, such Options and such Share Award Agreements shall be interpreted to be in compliance therewith.
17.Section 409A.
Notwithstanding other provisions of this Plan or any Share Award Agreements hereunder, no Share Award shall be granted, deferred, accelerated, extended, paid out or modified under this Plan in a manner that would result in the imposition of an additional tax under Section 409A of the Code upon a Participant.  In the event that it is reasonably determined by the Committee that, as a result of Section 409A of the Code, payments in respect of any Share Award under the Plan may not be made at the time contemplated by the terms of the Plan or the relevant Share Award Agreement, as the case may be, without causing the Participant holding such Share Award to be subject to taxation under Section 409A of the Code, the Company will make such payment on the first day that would not result in the Participant incurring any tax liability under Section 409A of the Code.  The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to implement the provisions of this Section 17 in good faith; provided that neither the Company, the Committee nor any of the Company’s employees, directors or representatives shall have any liability to any Participant with respect to this Section 17.
18.General Provisions.
(a)No Fractional Shares. No fractional Shares shall be issued or delivered pursuant to the Plan or any Share Award, and the Committee shall determine whether cash or other securities or other property shall be paid or transferred in lieu of any fractional Shares or whether such fractional Shares or any rights thereto shall be canceled, terminated, or otherwise eliminated
(b)Company Governing Instruments.  All Shares issued and/or vested pursuant to a Share Award, or transferred thereafter, shall be held subject to the Memorandum and Articles of Association of the Company. 
(c)Proprietary Information and Inventions Agreement. A Participant shall, as a condition precedent to the exercise or settlement of a Share Award, have executed and be in compliance with the Company’s (or its Affiliate’s) standard form of confidentiality and non-disclosure agreement.

Employment, or any other working arrangement between the Optionee and the Company or any of its Affiliates, (ii) do not create any contractual entitlement to receive future Options or other Share Awards or to continued Employment, and (iii) do not form part of salary or remuneration for purposes of determining pension payments or any other purposes, including, without limitation, termination indemnities, severance, resignation, redundancy, bonuses, long-term service awards, pension or retirement benefits, or similar payments, except as otherwise required by Applicable Law or as otherwise provided in the Optionee’s Employment Agreement. 
Section 5.6.    Data Privacy
(a)The Optionee hereby explicitly and unambiguously consents to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of the Optionee’s personal data as described in this document by and among, as applicable, the Company and its Affiliates, (including any of their respective payroll administrators), wherever they may be located, (collectively, the “Data Recipients”) for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Optionee’s participation in the Plan.  The Optionee understands that the Data Recipients will collect, hold, and process certain personal information about the Optionee (including, without limitation, name, home address, telephone number, date of birth, nationality and job detail and details of the Option granted hereunder and any other Share Award granted to the Optionee).  
(b)The Data Recipients will treat the Optionee’s personal data as private and confidential and will not disclose such data for purposes other than the management and administration of the Optionee’s participation in the Plan and will take reasonable measures to keep such personal data private, confidential, accurate and current.
(c)Where the transfer is to a destination outside the jurisdiction in which the Optionee resides, the Company and its Affiliates (including any of their respective payroll administrators) shall take reasonable steps to ensure that such personal data continues to be adequately protected and securely held.  Nonetheless, by accepting the Option granted hereunder, the Optionee acknowledges that personal information about the Optionee may be transferred to a jurisdiction that does not offer the same level of protection as the jurisdiction in which the Optionee resides.  The Optionee understands that he or she may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Data by contacting his or her local human resources representative.  The Optionee authorizes the recipients to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the purposes of implementing, administering and managing the Optionee’s participation in the Plan, including any requisite transfer of such Data as may be required to a broker or other third party with whom he or she may elect to deposit any Shares of stock acquired upon exercise of this Option. The Optionee understands that Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage the Optionee’s participation in the Plan.  
(d)The Optionee may, at any time, view their personal data, require any necessary corrections to it or withdraw the consent referenced in this Section 5.6 by contacting the Secretary of the Company.  The Optionee understands, however, that refusing or withdrawing his or her consent may affect his or her ability to participate in the Plan. For more information on the processing of personal data, including the consequences of the Optionee’s refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent, the Optionee understands that he or she may contact his or her local human resources representative.  If you are a Malaysian Participant, a translation in Malay of this Section 5.6 is attached hereto as Annex A.
Section 5.7.    Nature of Grant

B - 6






(b)the grant of this Option is voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of options, or benefits in lieu of options, even if options have been granted repeatedly in the past;
(c)all decisions with respect to future option grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company;
(d)the Optionee’s participation in the Plan shall not create a right to further employment with the Company or any of its Affiliates and shall not interfere with the ability of the Company or any of its Affiliates to terminate the Optionee’s Employment at any time with or without cause;
(e)the Optionee is voluntarily participating in the Plan;
(f)this Option is an extraordinary item that does not constitute compensation of any kind for services of any kind rendered to the Company or its Affiliates, and which is outside the scope of the Optionee’s employment contract, if any;
(g)this Option and Option benefit is not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purposes, including, but not limited to, calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits or similar payments;
(h)in the event that the Optionee ceases to be an employee, director, or consultant, this Option grant will not be interpreted to form an employment contract or relationship with the Company or any of its Affiliates, and furthermore, this Option grant will not be interpreted to form an employment contract with the Company or any of its Affiliates;
(i)the future value of the underlying Shares is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty;
(j)if the underlying Shares do not increase in value, the Option will have no value;
(k)if the Optionee exercises his or her Option and obtains Shares, the value of those Shares acquired upon exercise may increase or decrease in value, even below the exercise price;
(l)no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from termination of the Option or diminution in value of the Option or Shares purchased through exercise of the Option resulting from termination of the Optionee’s Employment by the Company or any of its Affiliates (for any reason whatsoever and whether or not in breach of local labor laws) and the Optionee irrevocably releases the Company and its Affiliates from any such claim that may arise; if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen, then, by signing this Option Agreement, the Optionee shall be deemed irrevocably to have waived his or her entitlement to pursue such claim; 
(m)in the event of involuntary termination of Employment (whether or not in breach of local labor laws), the Optionee’s right to exercise the Option after termination of Employment, if any, will be measured by the date of termination of the Optionee’s active Employment (e.g., active employment would not include a period of “garden leave” or similar period pursuant to local law), and will not be extended by any notice period mandated under local law; the Company shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when the Optionee is no longer actively employed for purposes of the Optionee’s Option grant; and
(n)regardless of any action the Company or its Affiliates takes with respect to any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related withholding (“Tax-Related Items”), the Optionee acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items legally
