Registration Date, have been reserved but not issued pursuant to any awards granted under the Company’s 2002 Share Plan (the “2002 Plan”) and are not subject to any awards granted thereunder, and (ii) any Shares subject to
stock options or similar awards granted under the 2002 Plan that expire or otherwise terminate without having been exercised in full and Shares issued pursuant to awards granted under the 2002 Plan that are forfeited to or repurchased by 

  

 -4- 








 
the Company, with the maximum number of Shares to be added to the Plan pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii) equal to 14,229,808 Shares. The Shares may
be authorized, but unissued, or reacquired Shares. 
 (b) Automatic Share Reserve Increase. The number of Shares available for
issuance under the Plan will be increased on the first day of each Fiscal Year beginning with the 2008 Fiscal Year, in an amount equal to the least of (A) 10,000,000 Shares, (B) three percent (3%) of the outstanding Shares on the last
day of the immediately preceding Fiscal Year or (C) such number of Shares determined by the Board. 
 (c) Lapsed Awards. If an
Award expires or becomes unexercisable without having been exercised in full, is surrendered pursuant to an Exchange Program, or, with respect to Restricted Shares, Restricted Share Units, Performance Units or Performance Shares, is forfeited to or
repurchased by the Company due to failure to vest, the unpurchased Shares (or for Awards other than Options or Share Appreciation Rights, the forfeited or repurchased Shares) which were subject thereto will become available for future grant or sale
under the Plan (unless the Plan has terminated). With respect to Share Appreciation Rights, only Shares actually issued pursuant to a Share Appreciation Right will cease to be available under the Plan; all remaining Shares under Share Appreciation
Rights will remain 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 future
distribution under the Plan; provided, however, that if Shares issued pursuant to Awards of Restricted Shares, Restricted Share Units, Performance Shares or Performance Units are repurchased by the Company or are forfeited to the Company, such
Shares will become available for future grant under the Plan. Shares used to pay the exercise price of an Award or to satisfy the tax withholding obligations related 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 result in reducing the number of Shares available for issuance under the Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing and, subject to adjustment as provided in
Section 13, the maximum number of Shares that may be issued upon the exercise of Incentive Stock Options will equal the aggregate Share number stated in Section 3(a), plus, to the extent allowable under Section 422 of the Code and the
Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, any Shares that become available for issuance under the Plan pursuant to Section 3(c). 
 (d) Share Reserve. The Company, during the term of this Plan, will at all times reserve and keep available such number of Shares as will be sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the Plan. 
 (e) Application to ADSs. For purposes of calculating the number of Shares issued under this Plan (and for purposes of calculating any other Share
limit set forth herein), the issuance of an ADS shall be deemed to equal one Share, provided, however, that if the number of Shares represented by an ADS is other than on a one-to-one basis, the number of Shares issued under this Plan (and any other
Share limit set forth herein) shall be adjusted to reflect such issuance of ADSs.

 4. Administration of the Plan. 
 (a) Procedure. 
 (i) Multiple
Administrative Bodies. Different Committees with respect to different groups of Service Providers may administer the Plan. 
 (ii)
Section 162(m). To the extent that the Administrator determines it to be desirable to qualify Options granted hereunder as “performance-based compensation” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code, the Plan will be
administered by a Committee of two (2) or more “outside directors” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code. 
 (iii) Rule 16b-3. To the extent desirable to qualify transactions hereunder as exempt under Rule 16b-3, the transactions contemplated hereunder will be structured to satisfy the requirements for exemption under Rule 16b-3.

 (iv) Other Administration. Other than as provided above, the Plan will be administered by (A) the Board or (B) a
Committee, which Committee will be constituted to satisfy Applicable Laws. 
 (b) Powers of the Administrator. Subject to the
provisions of the Plan, and in the case of a Committee, subject to the specific duties delegated by the Board to such Committee, the Administrator will have the authority, in its discretion: 
 (i) to determine the Fair Market Value; 
 (ii) to select the Service Providers to whom Awards may be granted hereunder; 
 (iii) to determine the number of Plan Shares to be
covered by each Award granted hereunder; 
 (iv) to approve forms of Award Agreements for use under the Plan; 
 (v) to determine the terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, of any Award granted hereunder. Such terms and conditions
include, but are not limited to, the exercise price, the time or times when Awards may be exercised (which may be based on performance criteria), any vesting acceleration or waiver of forfeiture restrictions, and any restriction or limitation
regarding any Award or the Plan Shares relating thereto, based in each case on such factors as the Administrator will determine; 
 (vi) to
determine the terms and conditions of any, and to institute any Exchange Program; 
 (vii) to construe and interpret the terms of the Plan
and Awards granted pursuant to the Plan; 
  

 -6- 








 (viii) to prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to the Plan, including rules and
regulations relating to sub-plans established for the purpose of satisfying applicable foreign laws; 
 (ix) to modify or amend each Award
(subject to Section 18(c) of the Plan), including the discretionary authority to extend the post-termination exercisability period of Awards; 
 (x) to allow Participants to satisfy withholding tax obligations in such manner as prescribed in Section 14; 
 (xi) to
authorize any person to execute on behalf of the Company any instrument required to effect the grant of an Award previously granted by the Administrator; 
 (xii) to allow a Participant to defer the receipt of the payment of cash or the delivery of Plan Shares that would otherwise be due to such Participant under an Award; and 
 (xiii) to make all other determinations deemed necessary or advisable for administering the Plan. 
 (c) Effect of Administrator’s Decision. The Administrator’s decisions, determinations and interpretations will be final and binding
on all Participants and any other holders of Awards. 
 5. Eligibility. Nonstatutory Stock Options, Share Appreciation Rights,
Restricted Shares, Restricted Share Units, Performance Shares and Performance Units may be granted to Service Providers. Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to Employees. 
 6. Stock Options. 
 (a)
Limitations. Each Option will be designated in the Award Agreement as either an Incentive Stock Option or a Nonstatutory Stock Option. However, notwithstanding such designation, to the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value of the Plan
Shares with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by the Participant during any calendar year (under all plans of the Company and any Parent or Subsidiary) exceeds one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000), such
Options will be treated as Nonstatutory Stock Options. For purposes of this Section 6(a), Incentive Stock Options will be taken into account in the order in which they were granted. The Fair Market Value of the Plan Shares will be determined as
of the time the Option with respect to such Plan Shares is granted. 
 (b) Term of Option. The term of each Option will be stated in
the Award Agreement. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option, the term will be ten (10) years from the date of grant or such shorter term as may be provided in the Award Agreement. Moreover, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to
a Participant who, at the time the Incentive Stock Option is granted, owns Shares representing more than ten percent (10%) of the total combined voting power of all classes of Shares of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary, the term of the
Incentive Stock Option will be five (5) years from the date of grant or such shorter term as may be provided in the Award Agreement. 
  

 -7- 








 (c) Option Exercise Price and Consideration. 
 (i) Exercise Price. The per share or per ADS exercise price for the Plan Shares to be issued pursuant to exercise of an Option will be determined
by the Administrator, subject to the following: 
 (1) In the case of an Incentive Stock Option 
 (A) granted to an Employee who, at the time the Incentive Stock Option is granted, owns Shares representing more than ten percent (10%) of the
voting power of all classes of Shares of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary, the per Plan Share exercise price will be no less than one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value per Plan Share on the date of grant. 
 (B) granted to any Employee other than an Employee described in paragraph (A) immediately above, the per Plan Share exercise price will be no less
than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value per Plan Share on the date of grant. 
 (2) In the case of a Nonstatutory
Stock Option, the per Plan Share exercise price will be no less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value per Plan Share on the date of grant. 
 (3) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Options may be granted with a per Plan Share exercise price of less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value per Plan Share on the date of grant pursuant to a
transaction described in, and in a manner consistent with, Section 424(a) of the Code. 
 (ii) Waiting Period and Exercise
Dates. At the time an Option is granted, the Administrator will fix the period within which the Option may be exercised and will determine any conditions that must be satisfied before the Option may be exercised. 
 (iii) Form of Consideration. The Administrator will determine the acceptable form of consideration for exercising an Option, including the method
of payment. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option, the Administrator will determine the acceptable form of consideration at the time of grant. Such consideration may consist entirely of: (1) cash; (2) check; (3) promissory note,
(4) other Plan Shares, provided Plan Shares acquired directly or indirectly from the Company, (A) have been owned by the Participant and not subject to substantial risk of forfeiture for more than six months on the date of surrender, and
(B) have a Fair Market Value on the date of surrender equal to the aggregate exercise price of the Plan Shares as to which said Option will be exercised; (5) consideration received by the Company under a broker-assisted (or other) cashless
exercise program implemented by the Company in connection with the Plan; (6) any combination of the foregoing methods of payment; or (7) such other consideration and method of payment for the issuance of Plan Shares to the extent permitted
by Applicable Laws. 
  

 -8- 








 (d) Exercise of Option. 
 (i) Procedure for Exercise; Rights as a Shareholder. Any Option granted hereunder will be exercisable according to the terms of the Plan and at
such times and under such conditions as determined by the Administrator and set forth in the Award Agreement. An Option may not be exercised for a fraction of a Plan Share. 
 An Option will be deemed exercised when the Company receives: (i) notice of exercise (in such form as the Administrator will specify from time to
time) from the person entitled to exercise the Option, and (ii) full payment for the Plan Shares with respect to which the Option is exercised (together with applicable withholding taxes). Full payment may consist of any consideration and
method of payment authorized by the Administrator and permitted by the Award Agreement and the Plan. Plan Shares issued upon exercise of an Option will be issued in the name of the Participant or, if requested by the Participant, in the name of the
Participant and his or her spouse. Until the Plan Shares are issued (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company), no right to vote or receive dividends or any other rights
as a shareholder will exist with respect to the Plan Shares subject to an Option, notwithstanding the exercise of the Option. The Company will issue (or cause to be issued) such Plan Shares promptly after the Option is exercised. No adjustment will
be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to the date the Plan Shares are issued, except as provided in Section 13 of the Plan. 
 Exercising an Option in any manner will decrease the number of Shares thereafter available, both for purposes of the Plan and for sale under the Option, by the number of Shares as to which the Option is exercised.

 (ii) Termination of Relationship as a Service Provider. If a Participant ceases to be a Service Provider, other than upon the
Participant’s death or Disability, the Participant may exercise his or her Option within such period of time as is specified in the Award Agreement to the extent that the Option is vested on the date of termination (but in no event later than
the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Award Agreement). In the absence of a specified time in the Award Agreement, the Option will remain exercisable for three (3) months following the Participant’s termination.
Unless otherwise provided by the Administrator, if on the date of termination the Participant is not vested as to his or her entire Option, the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option will revert to the Plan. If after termination the
Participant does not exercise his or her Option within the time specified by the Administrator, the Option will terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option will revert to the Plan. 
 (iii) Disability of Participant. If a Participant ceases to be a Service Provider as a result of the Participant’s Disability, the
Participant may exercise his or her Option within such period of time as is specified in the Award Agreement to the extent the Option is vested on the date of termination (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of such Option as set
forth in the Award Agreement). In the absence of a specified time in the Award Agreement, the Option will remain exercisable for twelve (12) months following the Participant’s termination. Unless otherwise provided by the Administrator, if
on the date of termination the Participant is not vested as to his or her entire Option, the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option will revert to the Plan. If after termination the Participant does not exercise his or her Option
within the time specified herein, the Option will terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option will revert to the Plan. 
  

 -9- 








 (iv) Death of Participant. If a Participant dies while a Service Provider, the Option may be
exercised following the Participant’s death within such period of time as is specified in the Award Agreement to the extent that the Option is vested on the date of death (but in no event may the option be exercised later than the expiration of
the term of such Option as set forth in the Award Agreement), by the Participant’s designated beneficiary, provided such beneficiary has been designated prior to Participant’s death in a form acceptable to the Administrator. If no such
beneficiary has been designated by the Participant, then such Option may be exercised by the personal representative of the Participant’s estate or by the person(s) to whom the Option is transferred pursuant to the Participant’s will or in
accordance with the laws of descent and distribution. In the absence of a specified time in the Award Agreement, the Option will remain exercisable for twelve (12) months following Participant’s death. Unless otherwise provided by the
Administrator, if at the time of death Participant is not vested as to his or her entire Option, the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option will immediately revert to the Plan. If the Option is not so exercised within the time
specified herein, the Option will terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option will revert to the Plan. 
 7. Restricted Shares.

 (a) Grant of Restricted Shares. Subject to the terms and provisions of the Plan, the Administrator, at any time and from time to
time, may grant Restricted Shares to Service Providers in such amounts as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, will determine. 
 (b)
Restricted Share Agreement. Each Award of Restricted Shares will be evidenced by an Award Agreement that will specify the Period of Restriction, the number of Plan Shares granted, and such other terms and conditions as the Administrator, in
its sole discretion, will determine. Unless the Administrator determines otherwise, the Company as escrow agent will hold Restricted Shares until the restrictions on such Plan Shares have lapsed. 
 (c) Transferability. Except as provided in this Section 7, Restricted Shares may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise
alienated or hypothecated until the end of the applicable Period of Restriction. 
 (d) Other Restrictions. The Administrator, in its
sole discretion, may impose such other restrictions on Restricted Shares as it may deem advisable or appropriate. 
 (e) Removal of
Restrictions. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 7, Restricted Shares covered by each Restricted Share grant made under the Plan 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. The Administrator, in its discretion, may accelerate the time at which any restrictions will lapse or be removed. 
 (f) Voting Rights. During the Period of Restriction, Service Providers holding Restricted Shares granted hereunder may exercise full voting rights
with respect to those Plan Shares, unless the Administrator determines otherwise. 
  

 -10- 








 (g) Dividends and Other Distributions. During the Period of Restriction, Service Providers holding
Restricted Shares will be entitled to receive all dividends and other distributions paid with respect to such Plan Shares, unless the Administrator provides otherwise. If any such dividends or distributions are paid in Plan Shares, the Plan Shares
will be subject to the same restrictions on transferability and forfeitability as the Restricted Shares with respect to which they were paid. 
 (h) Return of Restricted Shares to Company. On the date set forth in the Award Agreement, the Restricted Shares for which restrictions have not lapsed will revert to the Company and again will become available for grant under the
Plan. 
 8. Restricted Share Units. 
 (a) Grant. Restricted Share Units may be granted at any time and from time to time as determined by the Administrator. After the Administrator determines that it will grant Restricted Share Units under the
Plan, it will advise the Participant in an Award Agreement of the terms, conditions, and restrictions related to the grant, including the number of Restricted Share Units. 
 (b) Vesting Criteria and Other Terms. The Administrator will set vesting criteria in its discretion, which, depending on the extent to which the
criteria are met, will determine the number of Restricted Share Units that will be paid out to the Participant. The Administrator may set vesting criteria based upon the achievement of Company-wide, business unit, or individual goals (including, but
not limited to, continued employment), or any other basis determined by the Administrator in its discretion. 
 (c) Earning Restricted
Share Units. Upon meeting the applicable vesting criteria, the Participant will be entitled to receive a payout as determined by the Administrator. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time after the grant of Restricted Share Units, the
Administrator, in its sole discretion, may reduce or waive any vesting criteria that must be met to receive a payout. 
 (d) Form and
Timing of Payment. Payment of earned Restricted Share Units will be made as soon as practicable after the date(s) determined by the Administrator and set forth in the Award Agreement. The Administrator, in its sole discretion, may only settle
earned Restricted Share Units in cash, Plan Shares, or a combination of both. 
 (e) Cancellation. On the date set forth in the Award
Agreement, all unearned Restricted Share Units will be forfeited to the Company. 
 9. Share Appreciation Rights. 
 (a) Grant of Share Appreciation Rights. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, a Share Appreciation Right may be granted to Service
Providers at any time and from time to time as will be determined by the Administrator, in its sole discretion. 
 (b) Number of
Shares. The Administrator will have complete discretion to determine the number of Share Appreciation Rights granted to any Service Provider. 
  

 -11- 








 (c) Exercise Price and Other Terms. The per Plan Share exercise price for the Plan Shares to be
issued pursuant to exercise of a Share Appreciation Right will be determined by the Administrator and will be no less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value per Plan Share on the date of grant. Otherwise, subject to
Section 6(a) of the Plan, the Administrator, subject to the provisions of the Plan, will have complete discretion to determine the terms and conditions of Share Appreciation Rights granted under the Plan. 
 (d) Share Appreciation Right Agreement. Each Share Appreciation Right grant will be evidenced by an Award Agreement that will specify the exercise
price, the term of the Share Appreciation Right, the conditions of exercise, and such other terms and conditions as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, will determine. 
 (e) Expiration of Share Appreciation Rights. A Share Appreciation Right granted under the Plan will expire upon the date determined by the
Administrator, in its sole discretion, and set forth in the Award Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the rules of Section 6(d) also will apply to Share Appreciation Rights. 
 (f) Payment of Share Appreciation Right Amount. Upon exercise of a Share Appreciation Right, a Participant will be entitled to receive payment
from the Company in an amount determined by multiplying: 
 (i) The difference between the Fair Market Value of a Plan Share on the date of
exercise over the exercise price; times 
 (ii) The number of Plan Shares with respect to which the Share Appreciation Right is exercised.

 At the discretion of the Administrator, the payment upon Share Appreciation Right exercise may be in cash, in Plan Shares of equivalent
value, or in some combination thereof. 
 10. Performance Units and Performance Shares. 
 (a) Grant of Performance Units/Shares. Performance Units and Performance Shares may be granted to Service Providers at any time and from time to
time, as will be determined by the Administrator, in its sole discretion. The Administrator will have complete discretion in determining the number of Performance Units and Performance Shares granted to each Participant. 
 (b) Value of Performance Units/Shares. Each Performance Unit will have an initial value that is established by the Administrator on or before the
date of grant. Each Performance Share will have an initial value equal to the Fair Market Value of a Plan Share on the date of grant. 
 (c)
Performance Objectives and Other Terms. The Administrator will set performance objectives or other vesting provisions (including, without limitation, continued status as a Service Provider) in its discretion which, depending on the extent to
which they are met, will determine the number or value of Performance Units/Shares that will be paid out to the Service Providers. The time period during which the performance objectives or other vesting provisions must be met will be called the
“Performance Period.” Each Award of Performance Units/Shares will 

  

 -12- 








 
be evidenced by an Award Agreement that will specify the Performance Period, and such other terms and conditions as the Administrator, in its sole
discretion, will determine. The Administrator may set performance objectives based upon the achievement of Company-wide, divisional, or individual goals, applicable federal or state securities laws, or any other basis determined by the Administrator
in its discretion. 
 (d) Earning of Performance Units/Shares. After the applicable Performance Period has ended, the holder of
Performance Units/Shares will be entitled to receive a payout of the number of Performance Units/Shares earned by the Participant over the Performance Period, to be determined as a function of the extent to which the corresponding performance
objectives or other vesting provisions have been achieved. After the grant of a Performance Unit/Share, the Administrator, in its sole discretion, may reduce or waive any performance objectives or other vesting provisions for such Performance
Unit/Share. 
 (e) Form and Timing of Payment of Performance Units/Shares. Payment of earned Performance Units/Shares will be made as
soon as practicable after the expiration of the applicable Performance Period. The Administrator, in its sole discretion, may pay earned Performance Units/Shares in the form of cash, in Plan Shares (which have an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to
the value of the earned Performance Units/Shares at the close of the applicable Performance Period) or in a combination thereof. 
 (f)

 11. Leaves of Absence/Transfer Between Locations. Unless the Administrator provides otherwise, vesting of Awards granted hereunder will be
suspended during any unpaid leave of absence. A Service Provider will not cease to be an Employee in the case of (i) any leave of absence approved by the Company or (ii) transfers between locations of the Company or between the Company,
its Parent, or any Subsidiary. For purposes of Incentive Stock Options, no such leave may exceed ninety (90) days, unless reemployment upon expiration of such leave is guaranteed by statute or contract. If reemployment upon expiration of a
leave of absence approved by the Company is not so guaranteed, then three (3) months following the ninety-first (91st) day of such leave any Incentive Stock Option held by the Participant will cease to be treated as an Incentive Stock
Option and will be treated for tax purposes as a Nonstatutory Stock Option. 
 12. Transferability of Awards. Unless determined
otherwise by the Administrator, 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 may be exercised, during the lifetime of the
Participant, only by the Participant. If the Administrator makes an Award transferable, such Award will contain such additional terms and conditions as the Administrator deems appropriate. 
 13. Adjustments; Dissolution or Liquidation; Merger or Change in Control. 
 (a) Adjustments. In the event that any dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, Plan Shares, other securities, or other
property), recapitalization, share split, reverse share split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, 

  

 -13- 








 
repurchase, or exchange of Plan Shares or other securities of the Company, or other change in the corporate structure of the Company affecting the Plan
Shares occurs, the Administrator, in order to prevent diminution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan, will adjust the number and class of Plan Shares that may be delivered under the Plan
and/or the number, class, and price of Plan Shares covered by each outstanding Award and the numerical Share limits in Section 3 of the Plan. 
 (b) Dissolution or Liquidation. In the event of the proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Administrator will notify each Participant as soon as practicable prior to the effective date of such proposed transaction.
To the extent it has not been previously exercised, an Award will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed action. 
 (c) Change in Control. In the event of a merger or Change in Control, each outstanding Award will be treated as the Administrator determines, including, without limitation, that each Award be assumed or an equivalent option or right
substituted by the successor corporation or a Parent or Subsidiary of the successor corporation. The Administrator will not be required to treat all Awards similarly in the transaction. 
 In the event that the successor corporation does not assume or substitute for the Award, the Participant will fully vest in and have the right to
exercise all of his or her outstanding Options and Share Appreciation Rights, including as to Plan Shares as to which such Awards would not otherwise be vested or exercisable, all restrictions on Restricted Shares and Restricted Share Units will
lapse, and, with respect to Awards with performance-based vesting, all performance goals or other vesting criteria will be deemed achieved at one hundred percent (100%) of target levels and all other terms and conditions met. In addition, if an
Option or Share Appreciation Right is not assumed or substituted in the event of a Change in Control, the Administrator will notify the Participant in writing or electronically that the Option or Share Appreciation Right will be exercisable for a
period of time determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion, and the Option or Share Appreciation Right will terminate upon the expiration of such period. 
 For the purposes of this subsection (c), an Award will be considered assumed if, following the Change in Control, the Award confers the right to purchase or receive, for each Plan Share, subject to the Award
immediately prior to the Change in Control, the consideration (whether shares, cash, or other securities or property) received in the Change in Control by holders of Plan Shares for each Plan Share held on the effective date of the transaction (and
if holders were offered a choice of consideration, the type of consideration chosen by the holders of a majority of the outstanding Plan Shares); provided, however, that if such consideration received in the Change in Control is not solely ordinary
shares of the successor corporation or its Parent, the Administrator may, with the consent of the successor corporation, provide for the consideration to be received upon the exercise of an Option or Share Appreciation Right or upon the payout of a
Restricted Share Unit, Performance Unit or Performance Share, for each Plan Share subject to such Award, to be solely ordinary shares of the successor corporation or its Parent equal in fair market value to the per share consideration received by
holders of Plan Shares in the Change in Control. 
 Notwithstanding anything in this Section 13(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 modifies any of such performance goals without the 

  

 -14- 








 
Participant’s consent; provided, however, a modification to such performance goals only to reflect the successor corporation’s post-Change in
Control corporate structure will not be deemed to invalidate an otherwise valid Award assumption. 
 14. Tax Withholding. 

(a) Withholding Requirements. Prior to the delivery of any Plan 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 (including the Participant’s FICA obligation) required to be withheld
with respect to such Award (or exercise thereof). 
 (b) Withholding Arrangements. The Administrator, in its sole discretion and
pursuant to such procedures as it may specify from time to time, may permit a Participant to satisfy such tax withholding obligation, in whole or in part by (without limitation) (i) paying cash, (ii) electing to have the Company withhold
otherwise deliverable cash or Plan Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the minimum statutory amount required to be withheld, or (iii) delivering to the Company already-owned Plan Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the minimum
statutory amount required to be withheld. The Fair Market Value of the Plan Shares to be withheld or delivered will be determined as of the date that the taxes are required to be withheld. 
 15. No Effect on Employment or Service. Neither the Plan nor any Award will confer upon a Participant any right with respect to continuing the
Participant’s relationship as a Service Provider with the Company, nor will they interfere in any way with the Participant’s right or the Company’s right to terminate such relationship at any time, with or without cause, to the extent
permitted by Applicable Laws. 
 16. Date of Grant. The date of grant of an Award will be, for all purposes, the date on which the
Administrator makes the determination granting such Award, or such other later date as is determined by the Administrator. Notice of the determination will be provided to each Participant within a reasonable time after the date of such grant.

 17. Term of Plan. Subject to Section 21 of the Plan, the Plan will become effective upon its adoption by the Board. It will
continue in effect for a term of ten (10) years from the date adopted by the Board, unless terminated earlier under Section 18 of the Plan. 
 18. Amendment and Termination of the Plan. 
 (a) Amendment and Termination. The Board may at
any time amend, alter, suspend or terminate the Plan. 
 (b) Shareholder Approval. The Company will obtain shareholder approval of any
Plan amendment to the extent necessary and desirable to comply with Applicable Laws. 
 (c) Effect of Amendment or Termination. No
amendment, alteration, suspension or termination of the Plan will impair the rights of any Participant, unless mutually agreed otherwise between the Participant and the Administrator, which agreement must be in writing and signed by the Participant
and the Company. Termination of the Plan will not affect the Administrator’s ability to exercise the powers granted to it hereunder with respect to Awards granted under the Plan prior to the date of such termination.

 19. Conditions Upon Issuance of Plan Shares. 
 (a) Legal Compliance. Plan Shares will not be issued pursuant to the exercise of an Award unless the exercise of such Award and the issuance and
delivery of such Plan Shares will comply with Applicable Laws and will be further subject to the approval of counsel for the Company with respect to such compliance. 
 (b) Investment Representations. As a condition to the exercise of an Award, the Company may require the person exercising such Award to represent and warrant at the time of any such exercise that the Plan
Shares are being purchased only for investment and without any present intention to sell or distribute such Plan Shares if, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, such a representation is required. 
 20. Inability to Obtain Authority. The inability of the Company to obtain authority from any regulatory body having jurisdiction, which authority
is deemed by the Company’s counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any Plan Shares hereunder, will relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to issue or sell such Plan Shares as to which such requisite
authority will not have been obtained. 
 21. Shareholder Approval. The Plan will be subject to approval by the shareholders of the
Company within twelve (12) months after the date the Plan is adopted by the Board. Such shareholder approval will be obtained in the manner and to the degree required under Applicable Laws.
