If
an Award expires or becomes unexercisable without having been exercised in full, or, with
respect to Restricted Stock, Performance Shares or Restricted Stock Units, is forfeited to
or repurchased by the Company at its original purchase price due to such Award failing to
vest, the unpurchased Shares (or for Awards other than Options, the forfeited or
repurchased shares) which were subject thereto shall become 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 shall not be returned to the Plan and shall not
become available for future distribution under the Plan; provided, however, that if Shares
of Restricted Stock, Performance Shares or Restricted Stock Units are repurchased by the
Company at their original purchase price or are forfeited to the Company due to such
Awards failing to vest, such Shares shall become available for future grant under the
Plan. Shares used to pay the exercise price of an Option shall not become available for
future grant or sale under the Plan. Shares used to satisfy tax withholding obligations
shall not 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 stock, such cash payment shall not reduce
the number of Shares available for issuance under the Plan. Any payout of Dividend
Equivalents or Performance Units, because they are payable only in cash, shall not reduce
the number of Shares available for issuance under the Plan. Conversely, any forfeiture of

that           number of Shares or cash having a Fair Market Value equal to the minimum
amount           required to be withheld. The Fair Market Value of any Shares to be
withheld           shall be determined on the date that the amount of tax to be withheld
is to be           determined. All elections by a Participant to have Shares or cash
withheld for           this purpose shall be made in such form and under such conditions
as the           Administrator may deem necessary or advisable;

          Participant any right with respect to continuing the Participants

any           way with the Participants right or the Companys or Subsidiarys

          shall determine any conditions which must be satisfied before the Option may be
          exercised. In so doing, the Administrator may specify that an Option may not be
          exercised until the completion of a service period or until performance
          milestones are satisfied. In any event, no Option granted hereunder shall vest
          until at least six months following the Option grant date.
| | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | (d)         Form
of Consideration. The Administrator shall 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 shall determine the
          acceptable form of consideration at the time of grant. Subject to Applicable
          Laws, such consideration may consist entirely of:
| | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | (i)        cash;
| | ----------------

| | (ii)        check;
| | ------------------

| | (iii)        other
Shares which (A) in the case of Shares acquired upon exercise of an
          option, have been owned by the Participant 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 Shares as to which said Option
          shall be exercised;
| | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | (iv)        delivery
of a properly executed exercise notice together with such other           documentation
as the Administrator and the broker, if applicable, shall require           to effect an
exercise of the Option and delivery to the Company or Subsidiary of           the sale
proceeds required to pay the exercise price;
| | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | (v)        any
combination of the foregoing methods of payment; or
| | ------------------------------------------------------------------

| | (vi)        such
other consideration and method of payment for the issuance of Shares to the
          extent permitted by Applicable Laws.

| | (e)        Exercise
of Option; Rights as a Stockholder. Any Option granted hereunder           shall 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           Option
Agreement.
| | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

An
Option may not be exercised for a fraction of a Share.

An Option
shall be deemed exercised when the Company receives: (i) written or electronic notice
of exercise (in accordance with the Option Agreement) from the person entitled to
exercise the Option, and (ii) full payment for the Shares with respect to which the
Option is exercised. Full payment may consist of any consideration and method of payment
authorized by the Administrator and permitted by the Option Agreement and the Plan. Shares
issued upon exercise of an Option shall be issued in the name of the Participant. Until
the stock certificate evidencing such Shares is 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 stockholder shall exist
with respect to the optioned stock, notwithstanding the exercise of the Option. The
Company shall issue (or cause to be issued) such stock certificate 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 stock certificate is issued, except as provided
in Section 19 of the Plan.

Exercising
an Option in any manner shall decrease the number of Shares thereafter available for sale
under the Option, by the number of Shares as to which the Option is exercised.

| | (f)        ISO
$100,000 Rule. Each Option shall be designated in the Notice of Grant           as
either an Incentive Stock Option or a Nonstatutory Stock Option. However,
          notwithstanding such designations, to the extent that the aggregate Fair Market
          Value:
| | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | (i)        of
Shares subject to a Participants Incentive Stock Options granted by the
          Company or any Subsidiary, which
| | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | (ii)        become
exercisable for the first time during any calendar year (under all plans           of the
Company or any Subsidiary) exceeds $100,000, such excess Options           shall be
treated as Nonstatutory Stock Options. For purposes of this           Section 8(i),
Incentive Stock 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 time of grant.
| | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

of Restricted Stock. Subject to the terms and conditions of the           Plan,
Restricted Stock may be granted to Participants at any time as shall be
          determined by the Administrator, in its sole discretion. The Administrator
shall           have complete discretion to determine (i) the number of Shares
subject to a           Restricted Stock award granted to any Participant, and (ii) the
conditions           that must be satisfied, which typically will be based principally or
solely on           continued provision of services but may include a performance-based
component,           upon which is conditioned the grant, vesting or issuance of
Restricted Stock;           provided, however that no Restricted Stock Award shall vest
until at least one           year following the grant date.

Terms. The Administrator, subject to the provisions of the Plan,           shall have

granted under the Plan. Restricted Stock grants shall be           subject to the terms,
conditions, and restrictions determined by the           Administrator at the time the
stock or the restricted stock unit is awarded. The           Administrator may require

Stock Award Agreement. Each Restricted Stock grant shall be           evidenced by an
agreement that shall specify the purchase price (if any) and           such other terms
and conditions as the Administrator, in its sole discretion,           shall determine;
provided; however, that if the Restricted Stock grant has a           purchase price,
such purchase price must be paid no more than ten (10) years           following the date
of grant.

determined by the Administrator. The Administrator shall have complete
          discretion to determine (i) the number of Shares subject to a Restricted
          Stock Unit award granted to any Participant, and (ii) the conditions that
          must be satisfied, which typically will be based principally or solely on
          continued service but may include a performance-based component, upon which is
          conditioned the grant or vesting of Restricted Stock Units. Restricted Stock
          Units shall be granted in the form of units to acquire Shares. Each such unit
          shall be the equivalent of one Share for purposes of determining the number of
          Shares subject to an Award. Until the Shares are issued, no right to vote or
          receive dividends or any other rights as a stockholder shall exist with respect
          to the units to acquire Shares.
| | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | (b)        Vesting
Criteria and Other Terms. The Administrator shall set vesting           criteria in
its discretion, which, depending on the extent to which the criteria           are met,
will determine the number of Restricted Stock Units that will be paid           out to
the Participant. The Administrator may set vesting criteria based upon           the
achievement of Company-wide, Subsidiary-wide, business unit, or individual
          goals (including, but not limited to, continued employment), or any other basis
          determined by the Administrator in its discretion; provided, however that no
          Restricted Unit Award shall vest until at least one year following the grant
          date.
| | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | (c)        Earning
Restricted Stock Units. Upon meeting the applicable vesting           criteria, the
Participant shall be entitled to receive a payout as specified in           the
Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any
          time after the grant of Restricted Stock Units, the Administrator, in its sole
          discretion, may reduce or waive any vesting criteria that must be met to
receive           a payout.
| | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | (d)        Form

solely on           achievement of performance milestones but may include a service-based

Share of Ordinary Shares. No right to vote or receive dividends or any           other
rights as a stockholder shall exist with respect to Performance Units or           the
cash payable thereunder.

14.        Automatic
Stock Option Grants to Non-Employee Directors.

| | (a)        Procedure
for Grants. All grants of Options to Non-Employee Directors           under this
Section 14 shall be automatic and non-discretionary and shall be made           strictly
in accordance with the following provisions:
| | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | (i)        Each
Non-Employee Director shall be automatically granted an Option to purchase
          50,000 Shares, or a lesser amount determined by the Board, in its sole
          discretion (the First Option) upon the date on which such person
          first becomes a Director, whether through election by the stockholders of the
          Company or appointment by the Board of Directors to fill a vacancy; provided,
          however, that an Non-Employee Director who has previously been employed by the
          Company (or any Subsidiary) shall not be eligible to receive a First Option.
| | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | (ii)        At
each of the Companys annual stockholder meetings, and commencing in           2005,each
Non-Employee Director shall be automatically granted an Option           to purchase
25,000 Shares, or a lesser amount determined by the Board, in its           sole
discretion (the Subsequent Option), provided that such           individual
has served as an Non-Employee Director for at least six months prior           to the
date of such annual meeting.
| | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | (iii)        Notwithstanding
the provisions of subsections (i) and           (ii) hereof, in the event
that an automatic grant hereunder would cause the           number of Shares subject to
outstanding Options plus the number of Shares           previously purchased upon
exercise of Options to exceed the number of Shares           available for issuance under
the Plan, then each such automatic grant shall be           for that number of Shares
determined by dividing the total number of Shares           remaining available for grant
by the number of Non-Employee Directors on the           automatic grant date. Any
further grants shall then be deferred until such time,           if any, as additional
Shares become available for grant under the Plan.
| | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

exercise price per Share shall be 100% of the fair market value per Share on
          the date of grant of the Option.
| | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | (D)        the
First Option shall become exercisable as to 1/4th of the covered
          Shares each year on the day prior to each years normally scheduled annual
          stockholders meeting, so as to become 100% vested on the day prior to the
          normally scheduled annual stockholders meeting occurring approximately
          four years following the grant date, subject to the Participant maintaining
          Continuous Status as a Director on each vesting date.
| | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | (E)        The
Subsequent Option shall become exercisable as to 50% of the covered Shares           six
months following the grant date, and as to an additional 25% of the covered
          Shares each three months thereafter, so as to be 100% vested on the first
          anniversary of the grant date, subject to the Participant maintaining
Continuous           Status as a Director on each vesting date.
| | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | (b)        Consideration
for Exercising Non-Employee Director Stock Options. The           consideration to be
paid for the Shares to be issued upon exercise of an           automatic Non-Employee
Director Option shall consist of any consideration           permitted under section 8(e)
hereof and as set forth in the Award Agreement.
| | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | (c)        Post-Directorship
Exercisability. If a Non-Employee Director ceases to           serve as a Director,
he or she may, but only within one year after the date he           or she ceases to be a
Director, exercise his or her Option to the extent that he           or she was entitled
to exercise it at the date of such termination. To the           extent that he or she
was not entitled to exercise an Option at the date of such           termination, or if
he or she does not exercise such Option (which he was           entitled to exercise)
within the time specified herein, the Option shall           terminate.
| | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | (d)        Limitation
on Automatic Stock Option Grants. The Directors serving           immediately prior
to the appointment or election of a new Non-Employee Director,           or prior to an
annual stockholders meeting, as the case may be, shall           determine as to
each new Non-Employee Director whether he or she shall be           granted an Award
under this Section 14 or under the comparable provisions of           another incentive
plan of the Company. A new Non-Employee Director who receives           a First Option
under this Plan shall not be eligible to receive a comparable           automatic stock
option grant under any other incentive plan of the Company. A           new Non-Employee
Director who receives a Subsequent Option under this Plan shall           not be eligible
to receive a comparable automatic stock option grant under any           other incentive
plan of the Company with respect to such fiscal year of the           Company.

15.
       Termination
of Relationships, Death or Disability.

| | (a)  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,
then (i) in the case of an Award that is an Option, the           Participant may
exercise any Options within such period of time as is specified           in the Option
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 Option Agreement), and (ii) in the case of any           Award other
than an Option, the Participant shall be entitled to the benefit           conferred by
such Award during such period of time as is specified in the Award           Agreement to
the extent that the Award is vested on the date of termination (but           in no event
later than the expiration of the term of such Award, if any, as set           forth in
the Award Agreement). In the absence of a specified time in the Award
          Agreement, an Option shall remain exercisable, and the Participant shall be
          entitled to the benefit conferred by an Award other than an Option, for three
          months following the Participants termination. If, on the date of
          termination, the Participant is not vested as to his or her entire Award, the
          Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Award shall revert to the Plan.
          If, after termination, the Participant does not exercise his or her Option, or
          receive the benefit conferred by an Award other than an Option, within the time
          specified herein, the Award shall terminate, and the Shares covered by such
          Award shall revert to the Plan.

| | (b)
Disability. If a Participant ceases to be a Service Provider as a result
          of the Participants Disability, then (i) in the case of an Award
that           is an Option, the Participant may exercise his or her Option within such
period           of time as is specified in the Option 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 Option Agreement), and (ii) in
          the case of any Award other than an Option, the Participant shall be entitled
to           the benefit conferred by such Award during such period of time as is
specified           in the Award Agreement to the extent that the Award is vested on the
date of           termination (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of
such           Award, if any, as set forth in the Award Agreement). In the absence of a
          specified time in the Award Agreement, an Option shall remain exercisable, and
          the Participant shall be entitled to the benefit conferred by an Award other
          than an Option, for twelve (12) months following the Participants
          termination due to Disability. If, on the date of termination, the Participant
          is not vested as to his or her entire Award, the Shares covered by the unvested
          portion of the Award shall revert to the Plan. If, after termination, the
          Participant does not exercise his or her Option, or receive the benefit
          conferred by an Award other than an Option, within the time specified herein,
          the Award shall terminate, and the Shares covered by such Award shall revert to
          the Plan.
| | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | (c)
Death of Participant. If a Participant dies while a Service Provider,
          then (i) in the case of an Award that is an Option, the Option may be
          exercised following the Participants death within such period of time as
          is specified in the Option Agreement to the extent 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 Option 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, and (ii) in the case of any Award other than an Option, the
          Participants designated beneficiary, provided such beneficiary has been
          designated prior to Participants death in a form acceptable to the
          Administrator, shall be entitled to the benefit conferred by such Award during
          such period of time as is specified in the Award Agreement to the extent that
          the Award is vested on the date of death (but in no event later than the
          expiration of the term of such Award, if any, as set forth in the Award
          Agreement). If no such beneficiary has been designated by the Participant, then
          such Option may be exercised by, or the benefit conferred by such Award shall
be           provided to, the personal representative of the Participants estate or
by           the person(s) to whom the Award 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 shall remain exercisable, or the benefit conferred by such Award shall
be           provided, for twelve (12) months following Participants death. If the
          Option is not so exercised or the benefit conferred by such Award is not
          provided within the time specified herein, the Award shall terminate, and the
          Shares covered by such Award shall revert to the Plan.
| | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

16.        Leaves
of Absence. Unless the Administrator provides otherwise or except           as
otherwise required by Applicable Laws, vesting of Awards granted hereunder
          shall cease commencing on the first day of any unpaid leave of absence and
shall           only recommence upon return to active service.

17.        Part-Time
Service. Unless the Administrator provides otherwise or except           as otherwise
required by Applicable Laws, any service-based vesting of Awards           granted
hereunder shall be extended on a proportionate basis in the event an           Employee
transitions to a work schedule under which they are customarily           scheduled to
work on less than a full-time basis, or if not on a full-time work           schedule, to
a schedule requiring fewer hours of service. Such vesting shall be
          proportionately re-adjusted prospectively in the event that the Employee
          subsequently becomes regularly scheduled to work additional hours of service.

18.        Non-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           recipient, only by the recipient. If
the Administrator makes an Award           transferable, it may only be transferable for
no consideration to transferees           permitted pursuant to a Form S-8 Registration
Statement (such as family members           or pursuant to a settlement of marital
property rights) and such Award shall           contain such additional terms and
conditions as the Administrator deems           appropriate.

19.        Adjustments
Upon Changes in Capitalization, Dissolution or Liquidation or           Change of Control.

| | (a)        Changes
in Capitalization. Subject to any required action by the           stockholders of
the Company, the number of Ordinary Shares covered by each           outstanding Award,
the number of Ordinary Shares which have been authorized for           issuance under the
Plan but as to which no Awards have yet been granted           (including the automatic
annual replenishment of two million Ordinary Shares) or           which have been
returned to the Plan upon cancellation or expiration of an           Award, the number of
Ordinary Shares subject to automatic option grants to           Non-Employee Directors
under Section 14 hereof, as well as the price per           Ordinary Share covered by
each such outstanding Award shall be proportionately           adjusted for any increase
or decrease in the number of issued Ordinary Shares           resulting from a stock
split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, combination           or reclassification of
the Ordinary Shares, or any other increase or decrease in           the number of issued
Ordinary Shares effected without receipt of consideration           by the Company;
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,           whose
determination in that respect shall be final, binding and conclusive.           Except as
expressly provided herein, no issuance by the Company of shares of           stock of any
class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class,           shall
affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to,           the
number or price of Ordinary Shares subject to an Award.
| | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | (b)        Dissolution
or Liquidation. In the event of the proposed dissolution or           liquidation of
the Company, the Administrator shall notify each Participant as           soon as
practicable prior to the effective date of such proposed transaction.           The
Administrator in its discretion may provide for a Participant to have the           right
to exercise his or her Option until ten (10) days prior to such           transaction as
to all of the Awarded Stock covered thereby, including Shares as           to which the
Award would not otherwise be exercisable. In addition, the           Administrator may
provide that any Company repurchase option or forfeiture           rights applicable to
any Award shall lapse 100%, and that any Award vesting           shall accelerate 100%,
provided the proposed dissolution or liquidation takes           place at the time and in
the manner contemplated. To the extent it has not been           previously exercised
(with respect to Options) or vested (with respect to other           Awards), an Award
will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such           proposed action.

(c)        Change
of Control.

| | (i)        Stock
Options. In the event of a Change of Control, each outstanding           Option shall
be assumed or an equivalent option substituted by the successor           corporation or
a parent or Subsidiary of the successor corporation. In the event           that the
successor corporation refuses to assume or substitute for the Option,           the
Administrator, in its sole discretion, may provide that either (i) all           Options
shall terminate immediately prior to the consummation of the Change of           Control,
or (ii) Participants shall fully vest in and have the right to exercise           their
Options as to all of the Awarded Stock, including Shares as to which it           would
not otherwise be vested or exercisable. If an Option becomes fully vested           and
exercisable in lieu of assumption or substitution in the event of a Change           of
Control, the Administrator shall notify the Participant in writing or
          electronically that the Option shall be fully vested and exercisable for a
          period of fifteen (15) days from the date of such notice, and the Option shall
          terminate upon the expiration of such period. For the purposes of this
          paragraph, the Option shall be considered assumed if, following the Change of
          Control, the option confers the right to purchase or receive, for each Share of
          Awarded Stock subject to the Option immediately prior to the Change of Control,
          the consideration (whether stock, cash, or other securities or property)
          received in the Change of Control by holders of Ordinary Shares for each 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 Ordinary Shares); provided, however, that if such
          consideration received in the Change of Control is not solely stock 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 the Option, for each Share of Awarded Stock subject to the
Option,           to be solely stock of the successor corporation or its parent equal in
fair           market value to the per share consideration received by holders of
Ordinary           Shares in the Change of Control.
| | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | (ii)        Restricted
Stock, Restricted Stock Units, Performance Shares, Performance           Units and
Deferred StockUnits. In the event of a Change of Control, each           outstanding
Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Unit, Performance Share,           Performance Unit
and Deferred Stock Unit award (and any related Dividend           Equivalent) shall be
assumed or an equivalent Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock           Unit, Performance
Share, Performance Unit and Deferred Stock Unit award           substituted by the
successor corporation or a parent or Subsidiary of the           successor corporation.
In the event that the successor corporation refuses to           assume or substitute for
the Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Unit,           Performance Share, Performance
Unit or Deferred Stock Unit award, the           Administrator, in its sole discretion,
may provide either that (i) such Awards           shall terminate immediately prior to
the consummation of the Change of Control,           or (ii) Participants shall fully
vest in the Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock           Unit, Performance Share,
Performance Unit or Deferred Stock Unit Awards           including as to Shares (or with
respect to Performance Units, the cash           equivalent thereof) which would not
otherwise be vested. For the purposes of           this paragraph, a Restricted Stock,
Restricted Stock Unit, Performance Share,           Performance Unit and Deferred Stock
Unit award shall be considered assumed if,           following the Change of Control, the
award confers the right to purchase or           receive, for each Share (or with respect
to Performance Units, the cash           equivalent thereof) subject to the Award
immediately prior to the Change of           Control, the consideration (whether stock,
cash, or other securities or           property) received in the Change of Control by
holders of Ordinary Shares for           each 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 Ordinary
Shares); provided, however,           that if such consideration received in the Change
of Control is not solely stock           of the successor corporation or its parent, the
Administrator may, with the           consent of the successor corporation, provide for
the consideration to be           received, for each Share and each unit/right to acquire
a Share subject to the           Award, to be solely stock of the successor corporation
or its parent equal in           fair market value to the per share consideration
received by holders of Ordinary           Shares in the Change of Control.
| | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

20.        Date
of Grant. The date of grant of an Award shall 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 shall be provided to each Participant within a reasonable time
          after the date of such grant.

21.        Amendment
and Termination of the Plan.

| | (a)        Amendment
and Termination. The Board may at any time amend, alter,           suspend or
terminate the Plan.
| | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | (b)        Stockholder
Approval. The Company shall obtain stockholder approval of           any Plan
amendment to the extent necessary and desirable to comply with           Section 422
of the Code (or any successor rule or statute or other           Applicable Law). Such
stockholder approval, if required, shall be obtained in           such a manner and to
such a degree as is required by Applicable Law.
| | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | (c)        Effect
of Amendment or Termination. No amendment, alteration, suspension           or
termination of the Plan shall impair the rights of any Participant, unless
          mutually agreed otherwise between the Participant and the Administrator, which
          agreement must be in writing (or electronic format) and signed by the
          Participant and the Company or its Subsidiary.
| | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

22.        Conditions
Upon Issuance of Shares.

| | (a)        Legal
Compliance. Shares shall not be issued pursuant to the exercise of           an Award
unless the exercise of the Award or the issuance and delivery of such           Shares
(or with respect to Performance Units, the cash equivalent thereof) shall
          comply with Applicable Laws and shall 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 or receipt of           an Award, the
Company may require the person exercising or receiving such Award           to represent
and warrant at the time of any such exercise or receipt that the           Shares are
being purchased only for investment and without any present intention           to sell
or distribute such Shares if, in the opinion of counsel for the Company,           such a
representation is required.

23.        Liability
of Company.

| | (a)        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
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.
| | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | (b)        Grants
Exceeding Allotted Shares. If the Awarded Stock covered by an           Award
exceeds, as of the date of grant, the number of Shares which may be issued
          under the Plan without additional stockholder approval, such Award shall be
void           with respect to such excess Awarded Stock, unless stockholder approval of
an           amendment sufficiently increasing the number of Shares subject to the Plan
is           timely obtained in accordance with Section 21(b) of the Plan.
| | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

24.        Reservation

satisfy the requirements of the Plan.
