 The following
constitute the provisions of the 1997 Employee Stock Purchase Plan of Genesis Microchip Inc. 
  
 1.    Purpose.  The purpose of the Plan is to provide employees of the Company and its Designated Subsidiaries with an opportunity to purchase Shares of the Company through
accumulated payroll deductions. It is the intention of the Company to have the Plan qualify as an “Employee Stock Purchase Plan” under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The provisions of the Plan, accordingly,
shall be construed so as to extend and limit participation in a manner consistent with the requirements of that section of the Code. 
  
 2.    Definitions.

absence approved by the Company. Where the period of leave exceeds 90 days and the individual’s right to reemployment is not guaranteed either by statute or by contract, the employment relationship shall be deemed to have terminated on the 91st

 The Nasdaq Stock Market, the Fair Market Value of the Shares shall be the closing sales price for the Shares (or the
closing bid, if no sales were reported) as quoted on such exchange or system for the last market trading day prior to the time of determination, as reported in The Wall Street Journal or such other source as the Board deems reliable, or; 

 
 (2)  If the Shares are regularly quoted by a recognized
securities dealer but selling prices are not reported, the Fair Market Value of the Shares shall be the mean between the high bid and low asked prices for the Shares on the last market trading day prior to the day of determination, as reported in
The Wall Street Journal or such other source as the Board deems reliable, or; 
  
 (3)  In the absence of an established market for the Shares, the Fair Market Value thereof shall be determined in good faith by the Board, or; 
  
 (4)  For purposes of the Enrollment Date of the first Offering Period under the Plan, the Fair Market Value shall
be the initial price to the public as set forth in the final prospectus included within the registration statement in Form F-1 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the initial public offering of the Company’s Shares (the
“Registration Statement”). 
  
 (j)  “Offering Periods” shall mean the periods of approximately twenty-four (24) months during which an option granted pursuant to the Plan may be exercised, commencing on the first Trading Day on or after June 30 and
December 31 of each year and terminating on the last Trading Day in the periods ending twenty-four months later; provided, however, that the first Offering Period under the Plan shall commence with the first Trading Day on or after the date on which
the Securities and Exchange Commission declares the Company’s Registration Statement effective and ending on the last Trading Day on or before December 31, 1999. The duration and timing of Offering Periods may be changed pursuant to Section 4
of this Plan.

of Shares which have been authorized for issuance under the Plan but not yet placed under option.

 (p)  “Subsidiary” shall mean a corporation, domestic or foreign, of which not less than 50% of the
voting shares are held by the Company or a Subsidiary, whether or not such corporation now exists or is hereafter organized or acquired by the Company or a Subsidiary.

 3.    Eligibility. 
  
 (a)  Any Employee who shall be employed by the Company on a given
Enrollment Date shall be eligible to participate in the Plan. 
  
 (b)  Any provisions of the Plan to the contrary notwithstanding, no Employee shall be granted an option under the Plan (i) to the extent that, immediately after the grant, such Employee (or any other person whose shares would be
attributed to such Employee pursuant to Section 424(d) of the Code) would own shares of the Company and/or hold outstanding options to purchase such shares possessing five percent (5%) or more of the total combined voting power or value of all
classes of shares of the Company or of any Subsidiary, or (ii) to the extent that his or her rights to purchase shares under all employee stock purchase plans of the Company and its subsidiaries accrues at a rate which exceeds Twenty-Five Thousand
Dollars ($25,000) (U.S. dollars) worth of shares (determined at the fair market value of the shares at the time such option is granted) for each calendar year in which such option is outstanding at any time. 
  
 4.    Offering Periods.  The Plan shall
be implemented by consecutive, overlapping Offering Periods with a new Offering Period commencing on the first Trading Day on or after June 30 and December 31 of each year, or on such other date as the Board shall determine, and continuing
thereafter until terminated in accordance with Section 20 hereof; provided, however, that the first Offering Period under the Plan shall commence with the first Trading Day on or after the date on which the Securities and Exchange Commission
declares the Company’s Registration Statement effective and shall end on the last Trading Day on or before December 31, 1999. The Board shall have the power to change the duration of Offering Periods (including the commencement dates thereof)
with respect to future offerings without shareholder approval if such change is announced at least five (5) days prior to the scheduled beginning of the first Offering Period to be affected thereafter. 
  
 5.    Participation. 
  
 (a)  An eligible Employee may become a participant in the Plan by
completing a subscription agreement authorizing payroll deductions in the form of Exhibit A to this Plan and filing it with the Company’s payroll office prior to the applicable Enrollment Date. 
  
 (b)  Payroll deductions for a participant shall commence on the
first payroll following the Enrollment Date and shall end on the last payroll in the Offering Period to which such authorization is applicable, unless sooner terminated by the participant as provided in Section 10 hereof. 
  
 6.    Payroll Deductions. 
  
 (a)  At the time a participant files his or her subscription
agreement, he or she shall elect to have payroll deductions made on each pay day during the Offering Period in an amount not exceeding 15% of the Compensation which he or she receives on each pay day during the Offering Period. 
  
 (b)  All payroll deductions made for a participant shall be
credited to his or her account under the Plan and shall be withheld in whole percentages only. A participant may not make any additional payments into such account. 
  
 (c)  A participant may discontinue his or her participation in the Plan as provided in Section 10 hereof, or may
increase or decrease the rate of his or her payroll deductions during the Offering Period by completing or filing with the Company a new subscription agreement authorizing a change in payroll deduction rate. The Board may, in its discretion, limit
the number of participation rate changes during 

  

 3 








 
any Offering Period. The change in rate shall be effective with the first full payroll period following five (5) business days after the Company’s
receipt of the new subscription agreement unless the Company elects to process a given change in participation more quickly. A participant’s subscription agreement shall remain in effect for successive Offering Periods unless terminated as
provided in Section 10 hereof. 
  
 (d)  Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent necessary to comply with Section 423(b)(8) of the Code and Section 3(b) hereof, a participant’s payroll deductions may be decreased to zero percent (0%) at any time during a
Purchase Period. Payroll deductions shall recommence at the rate provided in such participant’s subscription agreement at the beginning of the first Purchase Period which is scheduled to end in the following calendar year, unless terminated by
the participant as provided in Section 10 hereof. 
  
 (e)  At the time the option is exercised in whole or in part, or at the time some or all of the Shares issued under the Plan are disposed of, the participant must make adequate provision for the Company’s federal, state, or
other tax withholding obligations, if any, which arise upon the exercise of the option or the disposition of the Shares. At any time, the Company may, but shall not be obligated to, withhold from the participant’s compensation the amount
necessary for the Company to meet applicable withholding obligations, including any withholding required to make available to the Company any tax deductions or benefits attributable to sale or early disposition of Shares by the Employee. 

 
 7.    Grant of Option.  On the
Enrollment Date of each Offering Period, each eligible Employee participating in such Offering Period shall be granted an option to purchase on each Exercise Date during such Offering Period (at the applicable Purchase Price) up to a number of
Shares determined by dividing such Employee’s payroll deductions accumulated prior to such Exercise Date and retained in the Participant’s account as of the Exercise Date by the applicable Purchase Price; provided that in no event shall an
Employee be permitted to purchase during each Purchase Period more than 20,000 Shares (subject to any adjustment pursuant to Section 19) on the Enrollment Date, and provided further that such purchase shall be subject to the limitations set forth in
Sections 3(b) and 12 hereof. Exercise of the option shall occur as provided in Section 8 hereof, unless the participant has withdrawn pursuant to Section 10 hereof. The option shall expire on the last day of the Offering Period. 
  
 8.    Exercise of Option.  Unless a
participant withdraws from the Plan as provided in Section 10 hereof, his or her option for the purchase of Shares shall be exercised automatically on the Exercise Date, and the maximum number of full Shares subject to option shall be purchased for
such participant at the applicable Purchase Price with the accumulated payroll deductions in his or her account. No fractional Shares shall be purchased; any payroll deductions accumulated in a participant’s account which are not sufficient to
purchase a full Share shall be retained in the participant’s account for the subsequent Purchase Period or Offering Period subject to earlier withdrawal by the participant as provided in Section 10 hereof. Any other monies left over in a
participant’s account after the Exercise Date shall be returned to the participant. During a participant’s lifetime, a participant’s option to purchase Shares hereunder is exercisable only by him or her. 
  
 9.    Delivery.  As promptly as
practicable after each Exercise Date on which a purchase of Shares occurs, the Company shall arrange the delivery to each participant as appropriate, of a certificate representing the Shares purchased upon exercise of his or her option. 

 
 10.    Withdrawal. 
  
 (a)  A participant may withdraw all but not less than all the
payroll deductions credited to his or her account and not yet used to exercise his or her option under the Plan at any time by giving written notice to the Company in the form of Exhibit B to this Plan. All of the participant’s payroll
deductions 

  

 4 








 
credited to his or her account shall be paid to such participant promptly after receipt of notice of withdrawal and such participant’s option for the
Offering Period shall be automatically terminated, and no further payroll deductions for the purchase of Shares shall be made for such Offering Period. If a participant withdraws from an Offering Period, payroll deductions shall not resume at the
beginning of the succeeding Offering Period unless the participant delivers to the Company a new subscription agreement. 
  
 (b) A participant’s withdrawal from an Offering Period shall not have any effect upon his or her eligibility to participate in any similar plan which
may hereafter be adopted by the Company or in succeeding Offering Periods which commence after the termination of the Offering Period from which the participant withdraws. 
  
 11. Termination of Employment. 
  
 Upon a participant’s ceasing to be an Employee, for any reason he or she shall be deemed to have elected to withdraw
from the Plan and the payroll deductions credited to such participant’s account during the Offering Period but not yet used to exercise the option shall be returned to such participant or, in the case of his or her death, to the person or
persons entitled thereto under Section 15 hereof, and such participant’s option shall be automatically terminated. The preceding sentence notwithstanding, a participant who receives payment in lieu of notice of termination of employment shall
be treated as continuing to be an Employee for the participant’s customary number of hours per week of employment during the period in which the participant is subject to such payment in lieu of notice. 
  
 12. Interest. No interest shall accrue on the payroll deductions of a
participant in the Plan. 
  
 13. Shares. 
  
 (a) Subject to adjustment upon changes in capitalization of the Company as
provided in Section 19 hereof, the maximum number of Shares which shall be made available for sale under the Plan shall be 500,000, plus an annual increase to be added on each anniversary date of the adoption of the Plan equal to the lesser of (i)
the number of Shares needed to restore the maximum aggregate number of Shares available for sale under the Plan to 500,000, or (ii) a lesser amount determined by the Board. If, on a given Exercise Date, the number of Shares with respect to which
options are to be exercised exceeds the number of Shares then available under the Plan, the Company shall make a pro rata allocation of the Shares remaining available for purchase in as uniform a manner as practicable and as it shall determine to be
equitable. 
  
 (b) The participant shall have no interest or
voting right in Shares covered by his option until such option has been exercised. 
  
 (c) Shares to be delivered under the Plan shall be registered in the name of the participant or in the name of the participant and his or her spouse. 
  
 14. Administration. The Plan shall be administered by the Board or a committee of members of the Board appointed by
the Board. The Board or its committee shall have full and exclusive discretionary authority to construe, interpret and apply the terms of the Plan, to determine eligibility and to adjudicate all disputed claims filed under the Plan. Every finding,
decision and determination made by the Board or its committee shall, to the full extent permitted by law, be final and binding upon all parties. 
  

 5 








 15. Designation of Beneficiary. 
  
 (a) A participant may file a written designation of a beneficiary who is to receive any Shares and cash, if any, from the
participant’s account under the Plan in the event of such participant’s death subsequent to an Exercise Date on which the option is exercised but prior to delivery to such participant of such Shares and cash. In addition, a participant may
file a written designation of a beneficiary who is to receive any cash from the participant’s account under the Plan in the event of such participant’s death prior to exercise of the option. If a participant is married and the designated
beneficiary is not the spouse, spousal consent shall be required for such designation to be effective. 
  
 (b) Such designation of beneficiary may be changed by the participant at any time by written notice. In the event of the death of a participant and in the
absence of a beneficiary validly designated under the Plan who is living at the time of such participant’s death, the Company shall deliver such Shares and/or cash to the executor or administrator of the estate of the participant, or if no such
executor or administrator has been appointed (to the knowledge of the Company), the Company, in its discretion, may deliver such Shares and/or cash to the spouse or to any one or more dependents or relatives of the participant, or if no spouse,
dependent or relative is known to the Company, then to such other person as the Company may designate. 
  
 16. Transferability. Neither payroll deductions credited to a participant’s account nor any rights with regard to the exercise of an option or
to receive Shares under the Plan may be assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of in any way (other than by will, the laws of descent and distribution or as provided in Section 15 hereof) by the participant. Any such attempt at
assignment, transfer, pledge or other disposition shall be without effect, except that the Company may treat such act as an election to withdraw funds from an Offering Period in accordance with Section 10 hereof. 
  
 17. Use of Funds. All payroll deductions received or held by the
Company under the Plan may be used by the Company for any corporate purpose, and the Company shall not be obligated to segregate such payroll deductions. 
  
 18. Reports. Individual accounts shall be maintained for each participant in the Plan. Statements of account shall be given to participating
Employees at least annually, which statements shall set forth the amounts of payroll deductions, the Purchase Price, the number of Shares purchased and the remaining cash balance, if any. 
  
 19. Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization, Dissolution, Liquidation, Merger or Asset Sale. 
  
 (a) Changes in Capitalization. Subject to any required action by the
shareholders of the Company, the Reserves, the maximum number of Shares each participant may purchase each Purchase Period (pursuant to Section 7), as well as the price per Share and the number of Shares covered by each option under the Plan which
has not yet been exercised shall be proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number of issued Shares resulting from a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, combination or reclassification of the Shares, or any other
increase or decrease in the number of 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 Board, whose determination in that respect shall be final, binding and conclusive. Except as expressly provided herein, no issuance by the Company of shares of any class, or securities
convertible into shares of any class, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number or price of Shares subject to an option. 
  

 6 








 (b)  Dissolution or Liquidation. In the event of the proposed dissolution or liquidation
of the Company, the Offering Period then in progress shall be shortened by setting a new Exercise Date (the “New Exercise Date”), and shall terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed dissolution or liquidation, unless
provided otherwise by the Board. The New Exercise Date shall be before the date of the Company’s proposed dissolution or liquidation. The Board shall notify each participant in writing, at least ten (10) business days prior to the New Exercise
Date, that the Exercise Date for the participant’s option has been changed to the New Exercise Date and that the participant’s option shall be exercised automatically on the New Exercise Date, unless prior to such date the participant has
withdrawn from the Offering Period as provided in Section 10 hereof. 
  
 (c)  Merger or Asset Sale. In the event of a proposed sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or the merger of the Company with or into another corporation, 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, any Purchase Periods then in progress
shall be shortened by setting a new Exercise Date (the “New Exercise Date”) and any Offering Periods then in progress shall end on the New Exercise Date. The New Exercise Date shall be before the date of the Company’s proposed sale or
merger. The Board shall notify each participant in writing, at least ten (10) business days prior to the New Exercise Date, that the Exercise Date for the participant’s option has been changed to the New Exercise Date and that the
participant’s option shall be exercised automatically on the New Exercise Date, unless prior to such date the participant has withdrawn from the Offering Period as provided in Section 10 hereof. 
  
 20.    Amendment or Termination. 
  
 (a)  The Board may at any time and for any reason terminate or
amend the Plan. Except as provided in Section 19 hereof, no such termination can affect options previously granted, provided that an Offering Period may be terminated by the Board on any Exercise Date if the Board determines that the termination of
the Plan is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. Except as provided in Section 19 hereof, no amendment may make any change in any option theretofore granted which adversely affects the rights of any participant. To the extent
necessary to comply with Section 423 of the Code (or any successor rule or Provision or any other applicable law, regulation or stock exchange rule), the Company shall obtain shareholder approval in such a manner and to such a degree as required.

  
 (b)  Without shareholder consent and without regard
to whether any participant rights may be considered to have been “adversely affected,” the Board (or its committee) shall be entitled to change the Offering Periods, limit the frequency and/or number of changes in the amount withheld
during an Offering Period, establish the exchange ratio applicable to amounts withheld in a currency other than U.S. dollars, permit payroll withholding in excess of the amount designated by a participant in order to adjust for delays or mistakes in
the Company’s processing of properly completed withholding elections, establish reasonable waiting and adjustment periods and/or accounting and crediting procedures to ensure that amounts applied toward the purchase of Shares for each
participant properly correspond with amounts withheld from the participant’s Compensation, and establish such other limitations or procedures as the Board (or its committee) determines in its sole discretion advisable which are consistent with
the Plan. 
  
 21.    Notices.  All notices or other communications by a participant to the Company under or in connection with the Plan shall be deemed to have been duly given when received in the form specified by
the Company at the location, or by the person, designated by the Company for the receipt thereof. 
  
 22.    Conditions Upon Issuance of Shares.  Shares shall not be issued with respect to an option unless the exercise
of such option and the issuance and delivery of such Shares pursuant thereto shall comply 
  

 7 








 
with all applicable provisions of law, domestic or foreign, including, without limitation, the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended, the Securities Act (Ontario), the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, and the requirements of any stock exchange upon which the Shares may then be listed, and shall be further subject to the approval of counsel for
the Company with respect to such compliance. 
  
 As a condition to
the exercise of an option, the Company may require the person exercising such option to represent and warrant at the time of any such exercise 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 by any of the aforementioned applicable provisions of law. 
  
 23.    Term of Plan.  The Plan shall become effective upon the effective date of its
adoption by the Board. It shall continue in effect for a term of ten (10) years unless sooner terminated under Section 20 hereof. 
  
 24.    Automatic Transfer to Low Price Offering Period.  To the extent permitted by any applicable laws, regulations,
or stock exchange rules, if the Fair Market Value of the Shares on any Exercise Date in an Offering Period is lower than the Fait Market Value of the Shares on the Enrollment Date of such Offering Period, then all participants in such Offering
Period shall be automatically withdrawn from such Offering Period immediately after the exercise of their option on such Exercise Date and automatically re-enrolled in the immediately following Offering Period as of the first day thereof.
