connection with such Substitute Awards shall not be counted against the number of Shares reserved under the Plan, but shall be available under the Plan, and (ii) if a company acquired by the Company or any Affiliate or with which the Company or

such acquisition or combination) may be used for post-transaction Awards under the Plan and shall not reduce the Shares authorized for grant under the Plan. Awards using such available shares shall not be made after the date awards or grants could
have been made under the terms of the pre-existing plan, absent the acquisition or combination, and shall only be made to individuals who were not Eligible Individuals prior to such acquisition or combination.

listing requirements of any such foreign securities exchange; (d) establish subplans and modify exercise procedures and other terms and procedures, to the extent such actions may be necessary or advisable (any such subplans and/or modifications
shall be attached to the Plan as appendices); provided, however, that no such subplans and/or modifications shall increase the share limitations contained in Section 3.1; and (e) take any action, before or after an Award is
made, that it deems advisable to obtain approval or comply with any necessary local governmental regulatory exemptions or approvals or listing requirements of any such foreign securities exchange. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may not
take any actions hereunder, and no Awards shall be granted, that would violate any Applicable Law. For purposes of the Plan, all references to foreign laws, rules, regulations or taxes shall be references to the laws, rules, regulations and taxes of
any applicable jurisdiction other than the United States or a political subdivision thereof. 
 4.6 Non-Employee Director Awards. The
Committee, in its sole discretion, may provide that Awards granted to Non-Employee Directors shall be granted pursuant to a written nondiscretionary formula established by the Committee (the “Non-Employee Director Equity Compensation
Policy”), subject to the limitations of the Plan. The Non-Employee Director Equity Compensation Policy shall set forth the type of Award(s) to be granted to Non-Employee Directors, the number of Shares to be subject to Non-Employee Director
Awards, the conditions on which such Awards shall be granted, become vested and exercisable and/or payable and expire, and such other terms and conditions as the Committee shall determine in its sole discretion. The Non-Employee Director Equity
Compensation Policy may be modified by the Committee from time to time in its sole discretion. 
 4.7 Stand-Alone and Tandem Awards.
Awards granted pursuant to the Plan may, in the sole discretion of the Committee, be granted either alone, in addition to, or in tandem with, any other Award granted pursuant to the Plan. Awards granted in addition to or in tandem with other Awards
may be granted either at the same time as or at a different time from the grant of such other Awards. 
 ARTICLE 5. 

GRANTING OF OPTIONS 
 5.1
Granting of Options to Eligible Individuals. The Committee is authorized to grant Options to Eligible Individuals from time to time, in its sole discretion, on such terms and conditions as it may determine, which shall not be inconsistent
with the Plan. 
 5.2 Qualification of Incentive Share Options. No Incentive Share Option shall be granted to any person who is not
an Employee of the Company or any parent or subsidiary corporation (each as defined in Section 424(e) and 424(f) of the Code, respectively) of the Company. No person who qualifies as a Greater Than 10% Shareholder may be granted an Incentive
Share Option unless such Incentive Share Option conforms to the applicable provisions of Section 422 of the Code. Any Incentive Share Option granted under the Plan may be modified by the Committee, with the consent of the Holder, to disqualify
such Option from treatment as an 

  
 12 








 
“incentive stock option” under Section 422 of the Code. To the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value of the Shares with respect to which “incentive stock options”
(within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code, but without regard to Section 422(d) of the Code) are vested and exercisable for the first time by a Holder during any calendar year under the Plan, and all other plans of the Company and any
parent or subsidiary corporation thereof (each as defined in Section 424(e) and 424(f) of the Code, respectively), exceeds $100,000, the Options shall be treated as Non-Qualified Share Options to the extent required by Section 422 of the
Code. The rule set forth in the immediately preceding sentence shall be applied by taking Options and other “incentive stock options” 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 the respective options were granted. Incentive Share Options that are not exercised within three (3) months following a Holder’s termination of employment with the Company and its Affiliates shall be treated as
Non-Qualified Share Options to the extent required by Section 422 of the Code. 
 5.3 Option Exercise Price. The exercise price
per Share subject to each Option shall be set by the Committee, but shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date the Option is granted (or, as to Incentive Share Options, on the date the Option is modified, extended or
renewed for purposes of Section 424(h) of the Code) unless otherwise determined by the Committee. In addition, in the case of Incentive Share Options granted to a Greater Than 10% Shareholder, such price shall not be less than 110% of the Fair
Market Value of a Share on the date the Option is granted (or the date the Option is modified, extended or renewed for purposes of Section 424(h) of the Code). 

5.4 Option Term. The term of each Option (the “Option Term”) shall be set by the Committee in its sole discretion;
provided, however, that the Option Term shall not be more than ten (10) years from the date the Option is granted, or five (5) years from the date an Incentive Share Option is granted to a Greater Than 10% Shareholder. The
Committee shall determine the time period, including the time period following a Termination of Service, during which the Holder has the right to exercise the vested Options, which time period may not extend beyond the last day of the Option Term.
Except as limited by the requirements of Section 409A or Section 457A of the Code and regulations and rulings thereunder or the first sentence of this Section 5.4, the Committee may extend the Option Term of any outstanding Option,
and may extend the time period during which vested Options may be exercised, in connection with any Termination of Service of the Holder, and may amend, subject to Section 13.1, any other term or condition of such Option relating to such a
Termination of Service. 
 5.5 Option Vesting. The period during which the right to exercise, in whole or in part, an Option vests in
the Holder shall be set by the Committee and the Committee may determine that an Option may not be exercised in whole or in part for a specified period after it is granted. Such vesting may be based on service with the Company or any Subsidiary, any
Performance Criteria or any other criteria selected by the Committee, and, except as limited by the Plan, at any time after the grant of an Option, the Committee, in its sole discretion and subject to whatever terms and conditions it selects, may
accelerate the period during which an Option vests. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee at grant (or, if no rights of the Holder (or, in the case of his death, his estate) are reduced, thereafter): 

  
 13 








 (a) if a Holder’s Termination of Service is by reason of death or Disability, all Options
that are held by such Holder that are vested and exercisable on the date of the Holder’s Termination of Service may be exercised by the Holder (or, in the case of death, by the legal representative of the Holder’s estate) at any time
within a period of one year after the date of such a Termination of Service, but in no event beyond the expiration of the stated term of such Options; 

(b) if a Holder’s Termination of Service is by involuntary termination without Cause, all Options that are held by such Holder that are
vested and exercisable on the date of the Holder’s Termination of Service may be exercised by the Holder at any time within a period of 90 days after the date of such a Termination of Service, but in no event beyond the expiration of the stated
term of such Options; 
 (c) if a Holder’s Termination of Service is voluntary (other than a voluntary Termination of Service described
in subsection (d)(ii) below), all Options that are held by such Holder that are vested and exercisable on the date of the Holder’s Termination of Service may be exercised by the Holder at any time within a period of 90 days after the date of
such a Termination of Service, but in no event beyond the expiration of the stated term of such Options; or 
 (d) if a Holder’s
Termination of Service (i) is for Cause or (ii) is a voluntary Termination of Service after the occurrence of an event that would be grounds for a Termination of Service for Cause, all Options, whether vested or not vested, that are held
by such Holder shall terminate and expire on the date of such Termination; 
 Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, Options that are
not vested as of the date of a Holder’s Termination of Service for any reason shall terminate and expire on the date of such Termination. 

ARTICLE 6. 
 EXERCISE OF
OPTIONS 
 6.1 Partial Exercise. A vested and exercisable Option may be exercised in whole or in part. However, an Option shall
not be exercisable with respect to fractional Shares and the Committee may require that, by the terms of the Option, a partial exercise must be with respect to a minimum number of Shares. 

6.2 Manner of Exercise. All or a portion of a vested and exercisable Option shall be deemed exercised upon delivery of all of the
following to the Company, the share plan administrator of the Company or such other person or entity designated by the Committee, or his, her or its office, as applicable: 

(a) A written or electronic notice complying with the applicable rules established by the Committee stating that the Option, or a portion
thereof, is exercised. The notice shall be signed by the Holder or other person then entitled to exercise the Option or such portion of the Option; 

(b) Such representations and documents as the Committee, in its sole discretion, deems necessary or advisable to effect compliance with
Applicable Law. The 

  
 14 








 
Committee, in its sole discretion, may also take whatever additional actions it deems appropriate to effect such compliance including the placement of legends on share certificates and issuing
stop-transfer notices to agents and registrars; 
 (c) In the event that the Option shall be exercised pursuant to Section 11.3 by any
person or persons other than the Holder, appropriate proof of the right of such person or persons to exercise the Option, as determined in the sole discretion of the Committee; and 

(d) Full payment of the exercise price and applicable withholding taxes to the share plan administrator of the Company for the Shares with
respect to which the Option, or portion thereof, is exercised, in a manner permitted by Sections 11.1 and 11.2. 
 6.3 Notification
Regarding Disposition. The Holder shall give the Company prompt written or electronic notice of any disposition of Shares acquired by exercise of an Incentive Share Option which occurs within (a) two years from the date of granting
(including the date the Option is modified, extended or renewed for purposes of Section 424(h) of the Code) such Option to such Holder, or (b) one year after the transfer of such Shares to such Holder. 

ARTICLE 7. 
 AWARD OF
RESTRICTED SHARES 
 7.1 Award of Restricted Shares. 

(a) The Committee is authorized to grant Restricted Shares to Eligible Individuals, and shall determine the terms and conditions, including
the restrictions applicable to each award of Restricted Shares, which terms and conditions shall not be inconsistent with the Plan, and may impose such conditions on the issuance of such Restricted Shares as it deems appropriate. 

(b) The Committee shall establish the purchase price, if any, and form of payment for Restricted Shares; provided, however, that
if a purchase price is changed, such purchase price shall not be less than the par value of the Shares to be purchased, unless otherwise permitted by Applicable Law. 

7.2 Rights as Shareholders. Subject to Section 7.4, upon issuance of Restricted Shares, the Holder shall have, unless otherwise
provided by the Committee, all the rights of a shareholder with respect to said Shares, subject to the restrictions in the applicable Award Agreement, including the right to receive all dividends and other distributions paid or made with respect to
the Shares; provided, however, that, in the sole discretion of the Committee, any distributions with respect to the Shares shall be subject to the restrictions set forth in Section 7.3. The Committee may, in its discretion,
determine at the time of grant that the payment of dividends shall be deferred until, and conditioned upon, the expiration of the applicable restriction period. 

7.3 Restrictions. All Restricted Shares (including any shares received by Holders thereof with respect to Restricted Shares as a result
of share dividends, bonus issuance, share splits or any other form of recapitalization) shall, in the terms of the applicable Award 

  
 15 








 
Agreement, be subject to such restrictions and vesting requirements as the Committee shall provide. Such restrictions may include restrictions concerning voting rights and transferability and
such restrictions may lapse separately or in combination at such times and pursuant to such circumstances or based on such criteria as selected by the Committee, including criteria based on the Holder’s duration of employment, directorship or
consultancy with the Company and its Affiliates, performance criteria, Company performance, individual performance or other criteria selected by the Committee. By action taken after the Restricted Shares are issued, the Committee may, on such terms
and conditions as it may determine to be appropriate, accelerate the vesting of such Restricted Shares by removing any or all of the restrictions imposed by the terms of the applicable Award Agreement. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee,
Restricted Shares may not be sold or encumbered until all restrictions are terminated or expire. 
 7.4 Repurchase or Forfeiture of
Restricted Shares. Except as otherwise determined by the Committee at the time of the grant of the Award or thereafter, if no price was paid by the Holder for the Restricted Shares, upon a Termination of Service during the applicable restriction
period, the Holder’s rights in unvested Restricted Shares then subject to restrictions shall lapse, and such Restricted Shares shall be surrendered to the Company and cancelled without consideration. If a price was paid by the Holder for the
Restricted Shares, upon a Termination of Service during the applicable restriction period, the Company shall have the right to repurchase from the Holder the unvested Restricted Shares then subject to restrictions at a cash price per share equal to
the lesser of the Fair Market Value per share and the price paid by the Holder for such Restricted Shares, or such other amount as may be specified in the applicable Award Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee, in its sole
discretion, may provide that upon certain events, including a Change in Control, the Holder’s death, retirement or disability or any other specified Termination of Service or any other event, the Holder’s rights in unvested Restricted
Shares shall not lapse, such Restricted Shares shall vest and, if applicable, the Company shall not have a right of repurchase. 
 7.5
Certificates for Restricted Shares. Restricted Shares granted pursuant to the Plan may be evidenced in such manner as the Committee shall determine. Certificates or book entries in respect of Restricted Shares shall include an appropriate
legend referring to the terms, conditions, and restrictions applicable to such Restricted Shares. The Company, in its sole discretion, may (a) retain physical possession of any share certificate evidencing Restricted Shares until the
restrictions thereon shall have lapsed and/or (b) require that the share certificates (if any) issued in respect of Restricted Shares be held in custody by a designated escrow agent (which may but need not be the Company) until the restrictions
thereon shall have lapsed, and that the Holder deliver a duly-executed but undated share transfer form endorsed in blank, together with the grant of authority in a form acceptable to the Committee to deal with such Restricted Shares, relating to
such Restricted Shares. 
 ARTICLE 8. 

AWARD OF RESTRICTED SHARE UNITS 

8.1 Grant of Restricted Share Units. The Committee is authorized to grant Awards of Restricted Share Units to any Eligible Individual
selected by the Committee in such amounts and subject to such terms and conditions as determined by the Committee.

shall be set by the Committee in its sole discretion. 
 8.3 Purchase Price. The Committee shall specify the purchase price, if any,
to be paid by the Holder to the Company with respect to any Restricted Share Unit award; provided, however, that value of the consideration shall not be less than the par value of a Share, unless otherwise permitted by Applicable Law.

 8.4 Vesting of Restricted Share Units. At the time of grant, the Committee shall specify the date or dates on which the Restricted
Share Units shall become fully vested and nonforfeitable, and may specify such conditions to vesting as it deems appropriate, including any vesting based upon the Holder’s duration of service to the Company or any Affiliate, one or more
performance criteria, Company performance, individual performance or other specific criteria, in each case on a specified date or dates or over any period or periods, as determined by the Committee. 

8.5 Maturity and Payment. At the time of grant, the Committee shall specify the maturity date applicable to each grant of Restricted
Share Units, which shall be no earlier than the vesting date or dates of the Award and may be determined at the election of the Holder (if permitted by the applicable Award Agreement); provided that, except as otherwise determined by the
Committee, set forth in any applicable Award Agreement, and subject to compliance with Section 409A and Section 457A of the Code, in no event shall the maturity date relating to each Restricted Share Unit occur following the later of
(a) the 15th day of the third month following the end of the calendar year in which the applicable portion of the Restricted Share Unit vests; or (b) the 15th day of the third month following the end of the Company’s fiscal year in
which the applicable portion of the Restricted Share Unit vests. On the maturity date, the Company shall, subject to Section 11.4 and the applicable Award Agreement, transfer to the Holder one unrestricted, fully transferable Share for each
Restricted Share Unit scheduled to be paid out on such date and not previously forfeited, or as determined by the Committee, an amount in cash equal to the Fair Market Value of such Shares on the maturity date or a combination of cash and Shares as
determined by the Committee.

while the Holder is an Employee, a Consultant or a member of the Board, as applicable; provided, however, that the Committee, in its sole discretion, may provide (in an Award Agreement or otherwise) that a Restricted Share Unit award
may be paid subsequent to a Termination of Service in certain events, including a Change in Control, the Holder’s death, retirement or disability or any other specified Termination of Service. 

8.7 No Rights as a Shareholder. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, a Holder of Restricted Share Units shall possess no
incidents of ownership with respect to the Shares represented by such Restricted Share Units, unless and until such Shares are transferred to the Holder pursuant to the terms of this Plan and the Award Agreement.

PAYMENTS, DEFERRED SHARES 
 9.1 Performance Awards. The Committee is
authorized to grant Performance Awards and other Awards to any Eligible Individual from time to time, in its sole discretion, on such terms and conditions as it may determine, which shall not be inconsistent with the Plan. The value of Performance
Awards may be linked to the attainment of the Performance Goals or other specific criteria, whether or not objective, determined by the Committee, in each case on a specified date or dates or over any period or periods and in such amounts as may be
determined by the Committee. 
 9.2 Dividend Equivalents. Dividend Equivalents may be granted by the Committee based on dividends
declared on the Shares, to be credited as of dividend payment dates with respect to dividends with record dates that occur during the period between the date an Award is granted to a Holder and the date such Award vests, is exercised, is distributed
or expires, as determined by the Committee. Such Dividend Equivalents shall be converted to cash or additional Shares by such formula and at such time and subject to such restrictions and limitations as may be determined by the Committee. 

9.3 Share Payments. The Committee is authorized to make Share Payments to any Eligible Individual that are payable in, valued in whole

sponsored or maintained by the Company or an Affiliate thereof, and Awards valued by reference to book value of the Shares. The number or value of Shares of any Share Payment shall be determined by the Committee and may be based upon one or more
Performance Criteria or any other specific criteria, including service to the Company or any Affiliate, determined by the Committee. Shares underlying a Share Payment which is subject to a vesting schedule or other conditions or criteria set by the
Committee shall not be issued until those conditions have been satisfied. Unless otherwise provided by the Committee, a Holder of a Share Payment shall have no rights as a Company shareholder with respect to such Share Payment until such time as the
Share Payment has vested and the Shares underlying the Award have been issued to the Holder. Share Payments may, but are not required to, be made in lieu of base salary, bonus, fees or other cash compensation otherwise payable to such Eligible
Individual. 
 9.4 Deferred Shares. The Committee is authorized to grant Deferred Shares to any Eligible Individual. The number of
Deferred Shares shall be determined by the Committee and may (but is not required to) be based on one or more Performance Criteria or other specific criteria, including service to the Company or any Affiliate, as the Committee determines, in each
case on a specified date or dates or over any period or periods determined by the Committee. Shares underlying a Deferred Share award which is subject to a vesting schedule or other conditions or criteria set by the Committee shall be issued on the
vesting date(s) or date(s) that those conditions and criteria have been satisfied, as applicable. Unless otherwise provided by the Committee, a Holder of Deferred Shares shall have no rights as a Company shareholder with respect to such Deferred
Shares until such time as the Award has vested and any other applicable conditions and/or criteria have been satisfied and the Shares underlying the Award have been issued to the Holder. 

  
 18 








 9.5 Term. The term of a Dividend Equivalent award, Share Payment award, and/or Deferred
Share award shall be established by the Committee in its sole discretion. 
 9.6 Purchase Price. The Committee may establish the

Applicable Law. 
 9.7 Termination of Service. A Share Payment award, Dividend Equivalent award, and/or Deferred Shares award is

terms and conditions as it may determine, which shall not be inconsistent with the Plan. 
 (b) A Share Appreciation Right shall entitle the
Holder (or other person entitled to exercise the Share Appreciation Right pursuant to the Plan) to exercise all or a specified portion of the Share Appreciation Right (to the extent then vested and exercisable pursuant to its terms) and to receive
from the Company an amount determined by multiplying the difference obtained by subtracting the exercise price per share of the Share Appreciation Right from the Fair Market Value on the date of exercise of the Share Appreciation Right by the number
of Shares with respect to which the Share Appreciation Right shall have been exercised, subject to any limitations the Committee may impose. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, the exercise price per Share subject to each Share
Appreciation Right shall be set by the Committee, but shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value on the date the Share Appreciation Right is granted. 

10.2 Share Appreciation Right Vesting. 

(a) The period during which the right to exercise, in whole or in part, a Share Appreciation Right vests in the Holder shall be set by the
Committee and the Committee may determine that a Share Appreciation Right may not be exercised in whole or in part for a specified period after it is granted. Such vesting may be based on service with the Company or any Affiliate, any Performance
Criteria or any other criteria selected by the Committee. Except as limited by the Plan, at any time after grant of a Share Appreciation Right, the Committee, in its sole discretion and subject to whatever terms and conditions it selects, may
accelerate the period during which a Share Appreciation Right vests. 

  
 19 








 (b) No portion of a Share Appreciation Right which is unvested or unexercisable at a
Holder’s Termination of Service shall thereafter become vested or exercisable, except as may be otherwise provided by the Committee in the applicable Award Agreement evidencing the grant of a Share Appreciation Right, or by action of the
Committee following the grant of the Share Appreciation Right. 
 10.3 Manner of Exercise. All or a portion of a vested and
exercisable Share Appreciation Right shall be deemed exercised upon delivery of all of the following to the Secretary of the Company, the share plan administrator of the Company, or such other person or entity designated by the Committee, or his,
her or its office, as applicable: 
 (a) A written or electronic notice complying with the applicable rules established by the Committee

Applicable Law. The Committee, in its sole discretion, may also take whatever additional actions it deems appropriate to effect such compliance, including the placement of legends on share certificates and issuing stop-transfer notices to agents and
registrars; 
 (c) In the event that the Share Appreciation Right shall be exercised pursuant to this Section 10.3 by any person or
persons other than the Holder, appropriate proof of the right of such person or persons to exercise the Share Appreciation Right, as determined in the sole discretion of the Committee; and 

(d) Full payment of the exercise price and applicable withholding taxes to the share plan administrator of the Company for the Shares with
respect to which the Share Appreciation Right, or portion thereof, is exercised, in a manner permitted by Sections 11.1 and 11.2. 

10.4 Share Appreciation Right Term. The term of each Share Appreciation Right (the “Share Appreciation Right Term”)
shall be set by the Committee in its sole discretion; provided, however, that the Share Appreciation Right Term shall not be more than ten (10) years from the date the Share Appreciation Right is granted. The Committee shall
determine the time period, including the time period following a Termination of Service, during which the Holder has the right to exercise the vested Share Appreciation Rights, which time period may not extend beyond the last day of the Share
Appreciation Right Term applicable to such Share Appreciation Right. Except as limited by the requirements of Section 409A or 457A of the Code and regulations and rulings thereunder or the first sentence of this Section 10.4, the Committee
may extend the Share Appreciation Right Term of any outstanding Share Appreciation Right, and may extend the time period during which vested Share Appreciation Rights may be exercised, in connection with any Termination of Service of the Holder, and
may amend, subject to Section 13.1, any other term or condition of such Share Appreciation Right relating to such a Termination of Service. 

  
 20 








 10.5 Payment. Payment of the amounts payable with respect to Share Appreciation Rights
pursuant to this Article 10 shall be in cash, Shares (based on its Fair Market Value as of the date the Share Appreciation Right is exercised), or a combination of both, as determined by the Committee. 

ARTICLE 11. 
 ADDITIONAL
TERMS OF AWARDS 
 11.1 Payment. The Committee shall determine the methods by which payments by any Holder with respect to any
Awards granted under the Plan shall be made, including: (a) cash or check, (b) Shares (including, in the case of payment of the exercise price of an Award, Shares issuable pursuant to the exercise of the Award) or Shares held for such
period of time as may be required by the Committee in order to avoid adverse accounting consequences, in each case, having a Fair Market Value on the date of delivery equal to the aggregate payments required, (c) delivery of a written or
electronic notice that the Holder has placed a market sell order with a broker acceptable to the Company with respect to Shares then issuable upon exercise or vesting of an Award, and that the broker has been directed to pay a sufficient portion of
the net proceeds of the sale to the Company in satisfaction of the aggregate payments required; provided that payment of such proceeds is then made to the Company upon settlement of such sale, or (d) any other form of legal consideration
acceptable to the Committee in its sole discretion. The Committee shall also determine the methods by which Shares shall be delivered or deemed to be delivered to Holders. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, no Holder
who is a Director or officer of the Company (or any of its Affiliates) shall take any action in respect of any Award in violation of any Applicable Law. 

11.2 Tax Withholding. 

(a) The Company or any Affiliate shall have the authority and the right to deduct or withhold from an amount paid in cash, or require a Holder
to remit to the Company, an amount paid in cash sufficient to satisfy federal, state, local and foreign taxes (including the Holder’s FICA, employment tax or other social security contribution obligation or any applicable employer’s
national insurance contributions) required by law to be withheld with respect to any taxable event concerning a Holder arising as a result of the Plan. The Committee, in its sole discretion, may provide in an Award Agreement for payment by the
Holder to the Company of an amount that is equal to the sum of all employment and other taxes, insurance premiums and other amounts imposed by any and all applicable tax authorities on the Company or any Affiliate with respect to any amounts payable
to, or earned by, such Holder in respect of any Award made under the Plan. The Committee, in its sole discretion and in satisfaction of the foregoing requirement, may (i) purchase or allow a Holder to elect to have the Company purchase Shares
otherwise issuable under an Award or (ii) cause the sale of a sufficient number of Shares on behalf of the Holder to realize sale proceeds equivalent to the applicable tax liabilities and remit such amount to or at the direction of the
Holder’s employer or the Committee in satisfaction of such tax liabilities. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, the number of Shares which may be so purchased or sold on behalf of the Holder shall be limited to the number of Shares
which have a fair market value on the date of purchase or sale (as the case may be) necessary to pay the aggregate amount of such liabilities based on the minimum statutory withholding rates 

  
 21 








 
for federal, state, local and foreign income tax and payroll tax purposes that are applicable to such supplemental taxable income. The Committee shall determine the fair market value of the
Shares, consistent with applicable provisions of the Code, for tax withholding obligations due in connection with a broker-assisted cashless Option or Share Appreciation Right exercise involving the sale of Shares to pay the Option or Share
Appreciation Right exercise price or any tax withholding obligation. 
 (b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event
that, upon the vesting of an Award (other than an Option) or the exercise of an Option, (i) the Company or any Affiliate employing the Holder (the “Secondary Contributor”) would otherwise be liable for United Kingdom secondary
employer’s National Insurance Contributions in respect of such vesting or exercise (such contributions, the “Secondary Contributions”) and (ii) the Committee provides the Holder written or electronic notice requiring the
Holder to enter into an agreement or election as referred to in sub clauses (1) and (2) below not later than the date that is thirty (30) days after either the vesting date of such Award or the receipt by the Company of notice of
exercise with respect to such Option, as applicable, then, the vesting of such Award or the exercise of such Option, as applicable, shall not be effective unless, not later than the date that is thirty (30) days after the date of such notice
from the Committee, such Holder has entered into either (as required and directed by the Committee in its sole discretion): 

(1) an agreement that allows the Secondary Contributor to recover the whole amount or any portion of the Secondary
Contributions from the Holder; or 
 (2) a form of joint election, in such form as determined by the Committee and approved
in advance by Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (“HMRC”), for the transfer to the Holder of the whole amount or any portion of the Secondary Contributions (and the arrangements made in such election for securing that the Holder
will satisfy the amount of Secondary Contributions transferred to the Holder have also been approved in advance by HMRC); and 
 If the relevant
requirements of Section 11.2(b)(1) or (2) are satisfied within the specified period, the date of vesting of such Award or exercise of such Option, as applicable, shall be the date on which the condition is satisfied. If such requirements
are not satisfied within the specified period, the vesting of such Award or exercise of such Option, as applicable, shall be ineffective, null and void. 

11.3 Transferability of Awards. 

(a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 11.3(b) and 11.3(c): 

(i) No Award under the Plan may be sold, pledged, charged, assigned or transferred in any manner other than by will or the laws of descent
and distribution or, subject to the consent of the Committee, pursuant to a DRO, unless and until such Award has been exercised, or the Shares underlying such Award have been issued, and all restrictions applicable to such Shares have lapsed; 

(ii) No Award or interest or right therein shall be liable for the debts, contracts or engagements of the Holder or the Holder’s
successors in interest or shall be subject 

  
 22 








 
to disposition by transfer, alienation, anticipation, pledge, charge, hypothecation, encumbrance, assignment or any other means whether such disposition be voluntary or involuntary or by
operation of law by judgment, levy, attachment, garnishment or any other legal or equitable proceedings (including bankruptcy), and any attempted disposition thereof shall be null and void and of no effect, except to the extent that such disposition
is permitted by Section 11.3(a)(i); and 
 (iii) During the lifetime of the Holder, only the Holder may exercise an Award (or any
portion thereof) granted to such Holder under the Plan, unless it has been disposed of pursuant to a DRO; after the death of the Holder, any vested and exercisable portion of an Award may, prior to the time when such portion becomes unexercisable
under the Plan or the applicable Award Agreement, be exercised by the Holder’s personal representative or by any person empowered to do so under the deceased Holder’s will or under the then-applicable laws of descent and distribution. 

(b) Notwithstanding Section 11.3(a), the Committee, in its sole discretion, may determine to permit a Holder to transfer an Award other
than an Incentive Share Option to any one or more Permitted Transferees, subject to the following terms and conditions: (i) an Award transferred to a Permitted Transferee shall not be assignable or transferable by the Permitted Transferee other
than by will or the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to a DRO; (ii) an Award transferred to a Permitted Transferee shall continue to be subject to all the terms and conditions of the Award as applicable to the original Holder (other
than the ability to further transfer the Award); and (iii) the Holder and the Permitted Transferee shall execute any and all documents requested by the Committee, including any documents to (A) confirm the status of the transferee as a
Permitted Transferee, (B) satisfy any requirements for an exemption for the transfer under Applicable Law and (C) evidence the transfer. 

(c) Notwithstanding Section 11.3(a), a Holder may, in the manner determined by the Committee, designate a beneficiary to exercise the
rights of the Holder and to receive any distribution with respect to any Award upon the Holder’s death. A beneficiary, legal guardian, legal representative, or other person claiming any rights pursuant to the Plan is subject to all terms and
conditions of the Plan and any Award Agreement applicable to the Holder, except to the extent the Plan and the Award Agreement otherwise provide, and to any additional restrictions deemed necessary or appropriate by the Committee. If the Holder is
married or a domestic partner in a domestic partnership qualified under Applicable Law and resides in a community property state, a designation of a person other than the Holder’s spouse or domestic partner, as applicable, as the Holder’s
beneficiary with respect to more than 50% of the Holder’s interest in the Award shall not be effective without the prior written or electronic consent of the Holder’s spouse or domestic partner. If no beneficiary has been designated or
survives the Holder, payment shall be made to the person entitled thereto pursuant to the Holder’s will or the laws of descent and distribution. Subject to the foregoing, a beneficiary designation may be changed or revoked by a Holder at any
time; provided that the change or revocation is filed with the Committee prior to the Holder’s death. 
 11.4 Conditions to
Issuance of Shares. 
 (a) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any
certificates or make any book entries evidencing Shares issued 

  
 23 








 
pursuant to the exercise of any Award, unless and until the Board or the Committee has determined, with advice of counsel, that the issuance of such Shares is in compliance with Applicable Law
and the Shares are covered by an effective registration statement or applicable exemption from registration. In addition to the terms and conditions provided herein, the Board or the Committee may require that a Holder make such reasonable
covenants, agreements and representations as the Board or the Committee, in its sole discretion, deems advisable in order to comply with Applicable Law. 

(b) Any share certificates delivered pursuant to the Plan and all Shares issued pursuant to book entry procedures are subject to any
stop-transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee deems necessary or advisable to comply with Applicable Law. The Committee may place legends on any share certificate or book entry to reference restrictions applicable to the Shares. 

(c) The Committee shall have the right to require any Holder to comply with any timing or other restrictions with respect to the settlement,
distribution or exercise of any Award, including a window-period limitation, as may be imposed in the sole discretion of the Committee. 

(d) No fractional Shares shall be issued and the Committee, in its sole discretion, shall determine whether cash shall be given in lieu of
fractional Shares or whether such fractional Shares shall be eliminated by rounding down. 
 (e) Notwithstanding any other provision of the
Plan, unless otherwise determined by the Committee or required by Applicable Law, the Company shall not deliver to any Holder certificates evidencing Shares issued in connection with any Award and instead such Shares shall be recorded in the
register of members of the Company (or, as applicable, its transfer agent or share plan administrator). 
 11.5 Forfeiture and Claw-Back
Provisions. Pursuant to its general authority to determine the terms and conditions applicable to Awards under the Plan, the Committee shall have the right to provide, in an Award Agreement or otherwise, or to require a Holder to agree by
separate written or electronic instrument, that: 
 (a) (i) Any proceeds, gains or other economic benefit actually or constructively
received by the Holder upon any receipt, vesting or exercise of the Award, or upon the receipt or resale of any Shares underlying the Award, shall be paid to the Company, and (ii) the Award shall terminate and any unexercised portion of the
Award (whether or not vested) shall be forfeited, if (x) a Termination of Service occurs prior to a specified date, or within a specified time period following receipt or exercise of the Award, or (y) the Holder at any time, or during a
specified time period, engages in any activity in competition with the Company or any Affiliate, or which is inimical, contrary or harmful to the interests of the Company or any Affiliate, as further defined by the Committee or (z) the Holder
incurs a Termination of Service for Cause; and 
 (b) All Awards (including any proceeds, gains or other economic benefit actually or
constructively received by the Holder upon any receipt, vesting or exercise of any 

  
 24 








 
Award or upon the receipt or resale of any Shares underlying the Award) shall be subject to the provisions of any claw-back policy implemented by the Company, including any claw-back policy
adopted to comply with the requirements of Applicable Law, including the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and any rules or regulations promulgated thereunder, to the extent set forth in such claw-back policy and/or in the
applicable Award Agreement. 
 11.6 Option Repricing. The Committee (a) may, without shareholder consent, (i) authorize the
amendment of any outstanding Option or Share Appreciation Right to reduce its price per share or (ii) cancel any Option or Share Appreciation Right in exchange for cash or another Award when the Option or Share Appreciation Right price per
share exceeds the Fair Market Value of the underlying Shares; and (b) shall have the authority, without the approval of the shareholders of the Company, to amend any outstanding Award to increase the price per share or to cancel and replace an
Award with the grant of an Award having a price per share that is greater than or equal to the price per share of the original Award. The Committee may take any action permitted by this Section 11.6 in connection with a transaction described in
Section 13.2 or at any other time determined by the Committee, subject only to any limitations specifically provided by Applicable Laws. 

ARTICLE 12. 

ADMINISTRATION 
 12.1
Administrator. The Committee shall administer the Plan (except as otherwise permitted herein). Additionally, to the extent the Board deems necessary to comply with Applicable Law, each of the individuals constituting the Committee shall be an
“independent director” under the rules of any securities exchange or automated quotation system on which the Common Shares are listed, quoted or traded. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any action taken by the Committee shall be valid and
effective, whether or not members of the Committee at the time of such action are later determined not to have satisfied the requirements for membership set forth in this Section 12.l or otherwise provided in any charter of the Committee.
Except as may otherwise be provided in any charter of the Committee, appointment of Committee members shall be effective upon acceptance of appointment. Committee members may resign at any time by delivering written or electronic notice to the

the Committee to conduct the general administration of the Plan in accordance with its provisions. The Committee shall have the power to interpret the Plan and the Award Agreement, and to adopt such rules for the administration, interpretation and
application of the Plan as are not inconsistent therewith, to interpret, amend or revoke any such rules and to amend any Award Agreement; provided that the rights or obligations of the Holder of the Award that is the subject of any such Award
Agreement are not affected adversely in a material manner by such amendment, unless the consent of the Holder is obtained or such amendment is otherwise permitted under Section 11.5 or Section 13.10. Any such grant or award under the Plan
need not be the same with respect to each Holder. Any such interpretations and rules with respect to Incentive Share Options shall be consistent with the provisions of Section 422 of the Code. In its sole discretion, the Board may at any time


  
 25 








 
and from time to time exercise any and all rights and duties of the Committee under the Plan except with respect to the rules of any securities exchange or automated quotation system on which the
Common Shares are listed, quoted or traded are required to be determined in the sole discretion of the Committee. 
 12.3 Action by the
Committee. Unless otherwise established by the Board or in any charter of the Committee, a majority of the Committee shall constitute a quorum and the acts of a majority of the members present at any meeting at which a quorum is present, and
acts approved in writing by all members of the Committee in lieu of a meeting, shall be deemed the acts of the Committee. Each member of the Committee is entitled to, in good faith, rely or act upon any report or other information furnished to that
member by any officer or other employee of the Company or any Affiliate, the Company’s independent certified public accountants, or any executive compensation consultant or other professional retained by the Company to assist in the
administration of the Plan. 
 12.4 Authority of Administrator. Subject to the Company’s Memorandum of Association and Bye-laws,
the Committee’s charter and any specific designation in the Plan, the Committee has the exclusive power, authority and sole discretion to: 

(a) Designate Eligible Individuals to receive Awards; 

(b) Determine the type or types of Awards to be granted to each Eligible Individual; 

(c) Determine the number of Awards to be granted and the number of Shares to which an Award will relate; 

(d) Determine the terms and conditions of any Award granted pursuant to the Plan, including the exercise price, grant price, purchase price,
any Performance Criteria, any Performance Goal, any reload provision, any restrictions or limitations on the Award, any schedule for vesting, lapse of forfeiture restrictions or restrictions on the exercisability of an Award, and accelerations or
waivers thereof, and any provisions related to non-competition and recapture of gain on an Award, based in each case on such considerations as the Committee in its sole discretion determines; 

(e) Determine whether, to what extent, and pursuant to what circumstances an Award may be settled in, or the exercise price of an Award may be
paid in cash, Shares, other Awards, or other property, or an Award may be canceled, forfeited, repurchased or surrendered; 
 (f) Prescribe
the form of each Award Agreement, which need not be identical for each Holder; 
 (g) Decide all other matters that must be determined in
connection with an Award; 
 (h) Establish, adopt, or revise any rules and regulations as it may deem necessary or advisable to administer
the Plan; 

  
 26

advisable to administer the Plan; 
 (k) Correct any defect or supply any omission or reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan or any Award
Agreement in such manner and to the extent the Committee deems necessary or desirable in order to carry out the purposes and intent of the Plan; and 

(l) Accelerate wholly or partially the vesting or lapse of restrictions of any Award or portion thereof at any time after the grant of an
Award, subject to whatever terms and conditions it selects and Section 13.2. 
 12.5 Section 162(m) of the Code. When
necessary or desirable for an Award to qualify as “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code, the Committee shall consist solely of at least two persons who are “outside directors” (as defined under
Section 162(m) of the Code) and the Committee shall approve the grant of such Award and timely determine (as applicable) the Performance Period and any Performance Goals upon which vesting or settlement of any portion of such Award is to be
subject. When required by Section 162(m) of the Code, prior to settlement of any such Award, the Committee shall determine and certify in writing the extent to which such Performance Goals have been timely achieved and the extent to which the
Shares (or other amounts denominated in dollars) subject to such Award have thereby been earned. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, with respect to Holders whose compensation is subject to Section 162(m) of the Code, (A) provided
that such adjustments are consistent with the regulations promulgated under Section 162(m) of the Code, the Committee may adjust the applicable Performance Goals to account for changes in law and accounting and to make such adjustments as the
Committee deems necessary or appropriate to reflect the impact of extraordinary or unusual items, events or circumstances to avoid windfalls or hardships, including without limitation (i) restructurings, discontinued operations, extraordinary
items, and other unusual or non-recurring charges, (ii) an event either not directly related to the operations of the Company or not within the reasonable control of the Company’s management, or (iii) a change in accounting standards
required by generally accepted accounting principles, (B) the maximum number of Shares that may be made subject to Awards denominated in Shares granted to each such Holder during any fiscal year of the Company is
[                ] Shares per type of Award (subject to increase or decrease pursuant to Section 13.2); provided that the maximum number of Shares for all types of
Awards during any fiscal year of the Company that may be granted and paid to each such Holder is [                ] Shares (subject to increase or decrease pursuant to
Section 13.2), and (C) the maximum value at grant of Awards (including Performance Awards) denominated in dollars that may be granted and paid during any fiscal year of the Company to each such Holder is
$[        ]. 
 12.6 Decisions Binding. The Committee’s interpretation of the Plan, any
Awards granted pursuant to the Plan, any Award Agreement and all decisions and determinations by the Committee with respect to the Plan are final, binding and conclusive on all parties. 

  
 27 








 12.7 Delegation of Authority. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law and applicable
securities exchange rules and regulations, the Board or Committee may from time to time delegate to a committee of one or more members of the Board or one or more officers of the Company (or any of its Subsidiaries) the authority to grant or amend
Awards or to take other administrative actions pursuant to this Article 12; provided, however, that any such officer of the Company (or Director) (or any of the Company’s Subsidiaries) to whom authority to grant or amend Awards
has been delegated may not grant Awards to himself or herself hereunder. The Committee may designate professional advisors to assist the Committee in the administration of the Plan (to the extent permitted by Applicable Law and applicable securities
exchange rules and regulations). Any delegation hereunder shall be subject to the restrictions and limits that the Board or Committee specifies at the time of such delegation, and the Board may at any time rescind the authority so delegated or
appoint a new delegatee. At all times, the delegatee appointed under this Section 12.7 shall serve in such capacity at the pleasure of the Board and the Committee. 

12.8 Liability and Indemnification. The Committee may employ such legal counsel, consultants and agents as it may deem desirable for
the administration of the Plan and may rely upon any opinion received from any such counsel or consultant and any computation received from any such consultant or agent. Expenses incurred by the Committee or Board in the engagement of any such
counsel, consultant or agent shall be paid by the Company. The Committee, its members and any person designated pursuant to Section 12.7 above shall not be liable for any action or determination made in good faith with respect to the Plan.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, no officer or former officer of the Company or member or former member of the Committee or of the Board shall be liable for any action or determination made in good faith with respect to the Plan or
any Award granted under it. To the maximum extent allowable pursuant to Applicable Law, each member of the Committee or of the Board shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company from any loss, cost, liability, or expense that may be imposed
upon or reasonably incurred by such member in connection with or resulting from any claim, action, suit, or proceeding to which he or she may be a party or in which he or she may be involved by reason of any action or failure to act pursuant to the
Plan and against and from any and all amounts paid by him or her in satisfaction of judgment in such action, suit, or proceeding against him or her; provided he or she gives the Company an opportunity, at its own expense, to handle and defend
the same before he or she undertakes to handle and defend it on his or her own behalf. The foregoing right of indemnification shall not be exclusive of any other rights of indemnification to which such persons may be entitled pursuant to the
Company’s Bye-laws, as a matter of law, or otherwise, or any power that the Company may have to indemnify them or hold them harmless. 

ARTICLE 13. 

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS 

13.1 Amendment, Suspension or Termination of the Plan. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 13.1, the Plan may be wholly
or partially amended or otherwise modified, suspended or terminated at any time or from time to time by the Board or the Committee. However, without approval of the Company’s shareholders given within twelve (12) months before or after the
action by the Committee, no action of the Committee may, except as 

  
 28 








 
provided in Section 13.2, increase the limits imposed in Section 3.1 on the maximum number of Shares which may be issued under the Plan. Except as provided in Section 11.5 and
Section 13.10, no amendment, suspension or termination of the Plan shall, without the consent of the Holder, impair any rights or obligations under any Award theretofore granted or awarded, unless the Award itself otherwise expressly so
provides. No Awards may be granted or awarded during any period of suspension or after termination of the Plan, and notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event may any Award be granted under the Plan after the tenth
(10th) anniversary of the date the Plan is first adopted by the Board (the “Expiration Date”). Any Awards that are outstanding as of the Expiration Date shall remain in force according to the terms of the Plan and the
applicable Award Agreement. 
 13.2 Changes in Shares or Assets of the Company, Acquisition or Liquidation of the Company and Other
Corporate Events. 
 (a) In the event of any share dividend, bonus issuance, share split, share consolidation or exchange of shares,
merger, amalgamation, consolidation, reorganization or other distribution (other than normal cash dividends) of Company assets to shareholders, or any other change affecting the shares in the Company’s share capital or the price of the
Company’s shares (other than an Equity Restructuring), the Committee may, subject to Applicable Law, make equitable adjustments, if any, to reflect such change with respect to: (i) the aggregate number and kind of Shares that may be issued
under the Plan (including any adjustments to the limitations in Section 3.1 on the maximum number and kind of Shares which may be issued under the Plan, and adjustments of the Award Limit; (ii) the number and kind of Shares (or other
securities or property) subject to outstanding Awards; (iii) the number and kind of Shares (or other securities or property) for which automatic grants are subsequently to be made to new and continuing Non-Employee Directors pursuant to
Section 4.6; (iv) the terms and conditions of any outstanding Awards (including any applicable performance targets or criteria with respect thereto); and (v) the grant or exercise price per share for any outstanding Awards under the
Plan. 
 (b) In the event of any transaction or event described in Section 13.2(a) or any unusual or nonrecurring transactions or
events affecting the Company, any Affiliate of the Company, or the financial statements of the Company or any Affiliate, or of changes in Applicable Law or accounting principles, the Committee, in its sole discretion, and on such terms and
conditions as it deems appropriate, either by the terms of the Award or by action taken prior to the occurrence of such transaction or event and either automatically or upon the Holder’s request, is hereby authorized to take any one or more of
the following actions to facilitate such transactions or events or to give effect to such changes in laws, regulations or principles: 

(i) To provide for either (A) termination of any such Award in exchange for an amount of cash, if any, equal to the amount that would
have been attained upon the exercise of such Award or realization of the Holder’s rights (and, for the avoidance of doubt, if as of the date of the occurrence of the transaction or event described in this Section 13.2 the Committee
determines in good faith that no amount would have been attained upon the exercise of such Award or realization of the Holder’s rights, then such Award may be terminated by the Company without payment) or (B) the replacement of such Award
with other rights or property selected by the Committee, in its sole discretion, having an aggregate value not exceeding the 

  
 29 








 
amount that could have been attained upon the exercise of such Award or realization of the Holder’s rights had such Award been currently exercisable or payable or fully vested; 

(ii) To provide that such Award be assumed by the successor or survivor corporation or company, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, or shall
be substituted for by similar options, rights or awards covering the stock of the successor or survivor corporation, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, with appropriate adjustments as to the number and kind of shares and prices; 

(iii) To make adjustments in the number and type of shares in the Company’s capital (or other securities or property) subject to
outstanding Awards, and in the number and kind of issued and outstanding Restricted Shares or Deferred Shares and/or in the terms and conditions of (including the grant or exercise price), and the criteria included in, outstanding Awards and Awards
which may be granted in the future; 
 (iv) To provide that such Award shall be exercisable or payable or fully vested with respect to all
Shares covered thereby, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan or the applicable Award Agreement; and 
 (v) To provide that
the Award cannot vest, be exercised or become payable after such event. 
 (c) In connection with the occurrence of any Equity
Restructuring, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 12.2(a) and 12.2(b), the Committee shall equitably adjust each outstanding Award, which adjustments may include adjustments to the number and type of securities subject to
each outstanding Award and/or the exercise price or grant price thereof, if applicable, the grant of new Awards to Holders, and/or the making of a cash payment to Holders, as the Committee deems appropriate to reflect such Equity Restructuring. The
adjustments provided under this Section 12.2(c) shall be nondiscretionary and shall be final and binding on the affected Holder and the Company; provided that whether an adjustment is equitable shall be determined in the discretion of the
Committee. 
 (d) Except as otherwise set forth in the applicable Award Agreement or determined by the Committee, in the event of a Change
in Control, each outstanding Award shall continue in effect or be assumed or an equivalent Award substituted by the successor corporation or a parent or subsidiary of the successor corporation. 

(e) In the event that the successor corporation in a Change in Control refuses to assume or substitute for the Award, the Committee may cause
any or all of such Awards to become fully exercisable immediately prior to the consummation of such transaction and all forfeiture restrictions on any or all of such Awards to lapse. If an Award is exercisable in lieu of assumption or substitution
in the event of a Change in Control, the Committee shall in writing or electronically notify the Holder that the Award shall be fully exercisable for a period of fifteen (15) days from the date of such notice, contingent upon the occurrence of
the Change in Control, and the Award shall terminate upon the expiration of such period. 
 (f) For the purposes of this Section 13.2,
an Award shall be considered assumed if, following the Change in Control, the Award confers the right to purchase or receive, 

  
 30 








 
for each 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 Common Shares for each Common 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 issued and outstanding Common
Shares); provided, however, that if such consideration received in the Change in Control was not solely common stock of the successor corporation or its parent, the Committee may, with the consent of the successor corporation, provide
for the consideration to be received upon the exercise of the Award, for each Share subject to an Award, to be solely common stock of the successor corporation or its parent equal in fair market value to the per-share consideration received by
holders of Common Shares in the Change in Control. 
 (g) The Committee, in its sole discretion, may include such further provisions and
limitations in any Award, agreement or certificate, as it may deem equitable and in the best interests of the Company that are not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan. 

(h) No adjustment or action described in this Section 13.2 or in any other provision of the Plan shall be authorized to the extent that
such adjustment or action would cause the Plan to violate Section 422(b)(1) of the Code. 
 (i) The existence of the Plan, the Award
Agreement and the Awards granted hereunder shall not affect or restrict in any way the right or power of the Company or the shareholders of the Company to make or authorize any adjustment, recapitalization, reorganization or other change in the
Company’s capital structure or its business, any merger, amalgamation or consolidation of the Company, any issue of shares or of options, warrants or rights to purchase shares or of bonds, debentures, preferred or prior preference shares whose
rights are superior to or affect the Shares or the rights thereof or which are convertible into or exchangeable for Shares, or the dissolution or liquidation of the Company, or any sale or transfer of all or any part of its assets or business, or
any other corporate act or proceeding, whether of a similar character or otherwise. 
 (j) No action shall be taken under this
Section 13.2 which shall cause an Award to fail to be exempt from or comply with Section 409A or 457A of the Code or the Treasury Regulations thereunder. 

(k) In the event of any pending share dividend, bonus issuance, share split, share consolidation or exchange of shares, merger, consolidation
or other distribution (other than normal cash dividends) of Company assets to shareholders, or any other change affecting the Common Shares or the share price of the Common Shares (including any Equity Restructuring), for reasons of administrative
convenience, the Company in its sole discretion, may refuse to permit the exercise of any Award during a period of up to thirty (30) days prior to the consummation of any such transaction. 

13.3 Approval of Plan by Shareholders. The Plan shall be submitted for the approval of the Company’s shareholders within twelve
(12) months after the date of the Board’s initial adoption of the Plan. Awards may be granted or awarded prior to such shareholder approval; provided that such Awards shall not be exercisable, shall not vest and the restrictions
thereon 

  
 31 








 
shall not lapse and no Shares shall be issued pursuant thereto prior to the time when the Plan is approved by the shareholders; and provided, further, that if such approval has not
been obtained at the end of said twelve (12) month period, all Awards previously granted or awarded under the Plan shall thereupon be canceled and become null and void. 

13.4 No Shareholders Rights. Except as otherwise provided herein, a Holder shall have none of the rights of a shareholder with respect
to Shares covered by any Award until the Holder becomes the record owner of such Shares. 
 13.5 Paperless Administration. In the
event that the Company establishes, for itself or using the services of a third party, an automated system for the documentation, granting or exercise of Awards, such as a system using an internet website or interactive voice response, then the
paperless documentation, granting or exercise of Awards by a Holder may be permitted through the use of such an automated system. 
 13.6
Effect of Plan upon Other Compensation Plans. The adoption of the Plan shall not affect any other compensation or incentive plans in effect for the Company or any Affiliate. Nothing in the Plan shall be construed to limit the right of the
Company or any Affiliate: (a) to establish any other forms of incentives or compensation for Employees, Directors or Consultants of the Company or any Affiliate, or (b) to grant or assume options or other rights or awards otherwise than
under the Plan in connection with any proper corporate purpose including the grant or assumption of options in connection with the acquisition by purchase, lease, merger, amalgamation, consolidation or otherwise, of the business, stock, shares or
assets of any corporation, partnership, limited liability company, firm or association. 
 13.7 Compliance with Laws. The Plan, the
granting and vesting of Awards under the Plan and the issuance and delivery of Shares and the payment of money under the Plan or under Awards granted or awarded hereunder are subject to compliance with all Applicable Law (including any state,
federal and foreign securities law and margin requirements), and to such approvals by any listing, regulatory or governmental authority as may, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, be necessary or advisable in connection therewith. Any
securities delivered under the Plan shall be subject to such restrictions, and the person acquiring such securities shall, if requested by the Company, provide such assurances and representations to the Company as the Company may deem necessary or
desirable to assure compliance with all Applicable Law. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Plan and Awards granted or awarded hereunder shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to Applicable Law. 

13.8 Titles and Headings, References to Sections of the Code or Exchange Act. The titles and headings of the Sections in the Plan are
for convenience of reference only and, in the event of any conflict, the text of the Plan, rather than such titles or headings, shall control. References to sections of the Code or the Exchange Act shall include any amendment or successor thereto.

 13.9 Governing Law. The Plan and any agreements hereunder shall be administered, interpreted and enforced under Delaware law
without regard to conflicts of laws thereof or of any other jurisdiction. 

  
 32 








 13.10 Section 409A and Section 457A. 

(e) To the extent that the Committee determines that any Award granted under the Plan is subject to Section 409A or Section 457A of
the Code, the Award Agreement evidencing such Award shall incorporate the terms and conditions required by Section 409A or Section 457A of the Code. To the extent applicable, the Plan and any Award Agreements shall be interpreted in
accordance with Section 409A and Section 457A of the Code and Department of Treasury regulations and other interpretive guidance issued thereunder, including any such regulations or other guidance that may be issued from time to time. For
purposes of Section 409A of the Code, a Holder’s right to receive any installment payments under the Plan or pursuant to a Section 409A Covered Award shall be treated as a right to receive a series of separate and distinct payments.

 (a) Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary or any Award Agreement, in the event the Committee determines that any
Award may be subject to Section 409A or Section 457A of the Code and related Department of Treasury guidance (including such Department of Treasury guidance as may be issued from time to time), the Committee may adopt such amendments to
the Plan and the applicable Award Agreement or adopt other policies and procedures (including amendments, policies and procedures with retroactive effect), or take any other actions, that the Committee determines are necessary or appropriate to
(a) exempt the Award from Section 409A or Section 457A of the Code and/or preserve the intended tax treatment of the benefits provided with respect to the Award, or (b) comply with the requirements of Section 409A or
Section 457A of the Code and related Department of Treasury guidance and thereby avoid the application of any penalty taxes under such Sections. 

(b) Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary or any Award Agreement, if any Holder is deemed on the date of his or her
“separation from service” (within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-1(h)) with the Company or its Affiliates to be a “specified employee” (within the meaning of Treasury Regulations
Section 1.409A-1(i)), then, with regard to any payment in respect of a Section 409A Covered Award that is payable on account of a “separation from service” that is required to be delayed pursuant to Section 409A(a)(2)(B) of
the Code (after taking into account any applicable exceptions to such requirement), such payment shall be made on the date that is the first day of the seventh month following the date of the Holder’s “separation from service” or, if
earlier, on the date of the Holder’s death (the “Delay Period”). Upon the expiration of the Delay Period, all payments delayed pursuant to this Section shall be paid to the Holder in a lump sum. 

(c) Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary or any Award Agreement, a termination of employment shall not be deemed to have
occurred for purposes of any provision of a Section 409A Covered Award providing for payment upon or following a termination of a Holder’s employment unless such termination is also a “separation from service” and, for purposes
of any such provision of such Section 409A Covered Award, references to a “termination,” “termination of employment” or like terms shall mean “separation from service.” 

(d) The Company shall not have any obligation to indemnify or otherwise protect the Holder from any obligation to pay any taxes, interest or
penalties pursuant to Section 409A or 457A of the Code. 

  
 33 








 13.11 No Rights to Awards. No Eligible Individual or other person shall have any claim to
be granted any Award pursuant to the Plan, and neither the Company nor the Committee is obligated to treat Eligible Individuals, Holders or any other persons uniformly. 

13.12 Unfunded Status of Awards. The Plan is intended to be an “unfunded” plan for incentive compensation. With respect to
any payments not yet made to a Holder pursuant to an Award, nothing contained in the Plan or any Award Agreement shall give the Holder any rights that are greater than those of a general creditor of the Company or any Affiliate. 

13.13 Relationship to other Benefits. No payment pursuant to the Plan shall be taken into account in determining any benefits under any
pension, retirement, savings, profit sharing, group insurance, welfare or other benefit plan of the Company or any Affiliate except to the extent otherwise expressly provided in writing in such other plan or an agreement thereunder. 

13.14 Data Protection. By participating in the Plan, each Holder shall consent to the holding and processing of personal information
provided by such Holder to the Company, any Affiliate, trustee or third party service provider, for all purposes relating to the operation of the Plan. These include, but are not limited to: (i) administering and maintaining Holder records;
(ii) providing information to the Company, Affiliates, trustees of any employee benefit trust, registrars, brokers or third party administrators of the Plan; (iii) providing information to future purchasers or merger partners of the
Company or any Affiliate, or the business in which the Holder works; and (iv) transferring information about the Holder to any country or territory that may not provide the same protection for the information as the Holder’s home country.

 13.15 Expenses. The expenses of administering the Plan shall be borne by the Company and its Subsidiaries.
