Awards to Directors or Employees who are also Officers or Directors of the Company, the Plan shall
be administered by (A) the Board or (B) a Committee designated by the Board, which Committee shall
be constituted in such a manner as to satisfy the Applicable Laws and to permit such grants and
related transactions under the Plan to be exempt from Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act in
accordance with Rule 16b-3. Once appointed, such Committee shall continue to serve in its
designated capacity until otherwise directed by the Board.

               (ii) Administration With Respect to Consultants and Other Employees. With respect to
grants of Awards to Employees or Consultants who are neither Directors nor Officers of the Company,
the Plan shall be administered by (A) the Board or (B) a Committee designated by the Board, which
Committee shall be constituted in such a manner as to satisfy the Applicable Laws. Once appointed,
such Committee shall continue to serve in its designated capacity until otherwise directed by the
Board. The Board may authorize one or more Officers to grant such Awards and may limit such
authority as the Board determines from time to time.

               (iii) Administration Errors. In the event an Award is granted in a manner inconsistent
with the provisions of this subsection (a), such Award shall be presumptively valid as of its grant
date to the extent permitted by the Applicable Laws.

          (b) Powers of the Administrator. Subject to Applicable Laws and the provisions of the
Plan (including any other powers given to the Administrator hereunder), and except as otherwise
provided by the Board, the Administrator shall have the authority, in its discretion:

               (i) to select the Employees, Directors and Consultants to whom Awards may be granted from time
to time hereunder;

               (ii) to determine whether and to what extent Awards are granted
hereunder;

               (iii) to determine the number of Shares or the amount of other consideration to be covered by
each Award granted hereunder;

               (iv) to approve forms of Award Agreements for use under the Plan;

               (v) to determine the terms and conditions of any Award granted hereunder (including the
vesting schedule set forth in the Notice of Stock Option Award);

               (vi) to amend the terms of any outstanding Award granted under the Plan, provided that (A) any
amendment that would adversely affect the Grantee’s rights under an outstanding Award shall not be
made without the Grantee’s written consent;

7

 

               (vii) to construe and interpret the terms of the Plan and Awards, including without
limitation, any notice of award or Award Agreement, granted pursuant to the Plan;

               (viii) to grant Awards to Employees, Directors and Consultants employed outside the United
States on such terms and conditions different from those specified in the Plan as may, in the
judgment of the Administrator, be necessary or desirable to further the purpose of the Plan; and

               (ix) to take such other action, not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, as the
Administrator deems appropriate.

          (c) Indemnification. In addition to such other rights of indemnification as they

members of the Board and any Officers or Employees of the Company or a Related Entity to whom
authority to act for the Board, the Administrator or the Company is delegated shall be defended and
indemnified by the Company to the extent permitted by law on an after-tax basis against all
reasonable expenses, including attorneys’ fees, actually and necessarily incurred in connection
with the defense of any claim, investigation, action, suit or proceeding, or in connection with any
appeal therein, to which they or any of them may be a party by reason of any action taken or
failure to act under or in connection with the Plan, or any Award granted hereunder, and against
all amounts paid by them in settlement thereof (provided such settlement is approved by the
Company) or paid by them in satisfaction of a judgment in any such claim, investigation, action,
suit or proceeding, except in relation to matters as to which it shall be adjudged in such claim,
investigation, action, suit or proceeding that such person is liable for gross negligence, bad faith or intentional misconduct; provided, however, that within
thirty (30) days after the institution of such claim, investigation, action, suit or proceeding,
such person shall offer to the Company, in writing, the opportunity at the Company’s expense to
defend the same.

     5. Eligibility. Awards other than Incentive Share Options may be granted to Employees,
Directors and Consultants. Incentive Share Options may be granted only to Employees of the Company
or a Parent or a Subsidiary of the Company. An Employee, Director or Consultant who has been
granted an Award may, if otherwise eligible, be granted additional Awards.

     6. Terms and Conditions of Awards.

          (a) Types of Awards. The Administrator is authorized under the Plan to award any
type of arrangement to an Employee, Director or Consultant that is not inconsistent with the
provisions of the Plan and that by its terms involves or might involve the issuance of (i) Shares,
(ii) cash or (iii) an Option, a SAR, or similar right with a fixed or variable price related to the
Fair Market Value of the Shares and with an exercise or conversion privilege related to the passage
of time, the occurrence of one or more events, or the satisfaction of performance criteria or other
conditions. Such awards include, without limitation, Options, SARs, sales or bonuses of Restricted
Share, Restricted Share Units or Dividend Equivalent Rights, and an Award may

8

 

consist of one such
security or benefit, or two (2) or more of them in any combination or alternative.

          (b) Designation of Award. Each Award shall be designated in the Award Agreement. In
the case of an Option, the Option shall be designated as either an Incentive Share Option or a
Non-Qualified Share Option. However, notwithstanding such designation, to the extent that the
aggregate Fair Market Value of Shares subject to Options designated as Incentive Share Options
which become exercisable for the first time by a Grantee during any calendar year (under all plans
of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary of the Company) exceeds US$100,000, such excess Options,
to the extent of the Shares covered thereby in excess of the foregoing limitation, shall be treated
as Non-Qualified Share Options. For this purpose, Incentive Share Options shall be taken into
account in the order in which they were granted, and the Fair Market Value of the Shares shall be
determined as of the grant date of the relevant Option.

          (c) Conditions of Award. Subject to the terms of the Plan, the Administrator shall
determine the provisions, terms, and conditions of each Award including, but not limited to, the
Award vesting schedule, repurchase provisions, rights of first refusal, forfeiture provisions, form
of payment (cash, Shares, or other consideration) upon settlement of the Award, payment
contingencies, and satisfaction of any performance criteria. The performance criteria established
by the Administrator may be based on any one of, or combination of, the following: (i) increase in
share price, (ii) earnings per share, (iii) total shareholder return, (iv) operating margin, (v)
gross margin, (vi) return on equity, (vii) return on assets, (viii) return on investment, (ix)
operating income, (x) net operating income, (xi) pre-tax profit, (xii) cash flow, (xiii) revenue,
(xiv) expenses, (xv) earnings before interest, taxes and depreciation, (xvi) economic value added
and (xvii) market share. The performance criteria may be applicable to the Company, Related
Entities and/or any individual business units of the Company or any Related Entity. Partial
achievement of the specified criteria may result in a payment or vesting corresponding to the
degree of achievement as specified in the Award Agreement.

          (d) Acquisitions and Other Transactions. The Administrator may issue Awards under the
Plan in settlement, assumption or substitution for, outstanding awards or obligations to grant
future awards in connection with the Company or a Related Entity acquiring another entity, an
interest in another entity or an additional interest in a Related Entity whether by merger, share
purchase, asset purchase or other form of transaction.

          (e) Deferral of Award Payment. The Administrator may establish one or more programs
under the Plan to permit selected Grantees the opportunity to elect to defer receipt of
consideration upon exercise of an Award, satisfaction of performance criteria, or other event that
absent the election would entitle the Grantee to payment or receipt of Shares or other
consideration under an Award. The Administrator may establish the election procedures, the timing
of such elections, the mechanisms for payments of, and accrual of interest or other earnings, if
any, on amounts, Shares or other consideration so deferred, and such other terms, conditions, rules
and procedures that the Administrator deems advisable for the administration of any such deferral
program.

9

 

          (f) Separate Programs. The Administrator may establish one or more separate programs
under the Plan for the purpose of issuing particular forms of Awards to one or more classes of
Grantees on such terms and conditions as determined by the Administrator from time to time.

          (g) Early Exercise. The Award Agreement may, but need not, include a provision whereby
the Grantee may elect at any time while an Employee, Director or Consultant to exercise any part or
all of the Award prior to full vesting of the Award. Any unvested Shares received pursuant to such
exercise may be subject to a repurchase right in favor of the Company
or a Related Entity or to any other restriction the Administrator determines to be
appropriate.

          (h) Term of Award. The term of each Award shall be the term stated in the Award
Agreement, provided, however, that the term of an Incentive Share Option shall be no more than ten
(10) years from the date of grant thereof. However, in the case of an Incentive Share Option
granted to a Grantee who, at the time the Option is granted, owns shares representing more than ten
percent (10%) of the voting power of all classes of shares of the Company or any Parent or
Subsidiary of the Company, the term of the Incentive Stock Option shall be five (5) years from the
date of grant thereof or such shorter term as may be provided in the Award Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the specified term of any Award shall not include any period for
which the Grantee has elected to defer the receipt of the Shares or cash issuable pursuant to the
Award.

          (i) Transferability of Awards. Incentive Share Options may not be sold, pledged,
assigned, hypothecated, transferred, or disposed of in any manner other than by will or by the laws
of descent or distribution and may be exercised, during the lifetime of the Grantee, only by the
Grantee. Non-Qualified Stock Options and other Awards shall be transferable (i) by will and by the
laws of descent and distribution and (ii) during the lifetime of the Grantee, to the extent and in
the manner authorized by the Administrator. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Grantee may
designate one or more beneficiaries of the Grantee’s Award in the event of the Grantee’s death on a
beneficiary designation form provided by the Administrator.

          (j) Time of Granting Awards. The date of grant of an Award shall for all purposes
be the date on which the Administrator makes the determination to grant such Award, or such other
date as is determined by the Administrator.

     7. Award Exercise or Purchase Price, Consideration and Taxes.

          (a) Exercise or Purchase Price. The exercise or purchase price, if any, for an
Award shall be as follows:

            
   (i) In the case of an Incentive Share Option:

             
       (A) granted to an Employee who, at the time of the grant of such Incentive Share Option
owns shares representing more than ten percent (10%) of the voting power of all classes of shares
of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary of the Company, the per Share exercise price shall be
not less than one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of
grant; or

10

 

             
       (B) granted to any Employee other than an Employee described in the preceding paragraph,
the per Share exercise price shall be at One (1) United States Dollar even.

             
  (ii) In the case of a Non-Qualified Share Option, the per Share exercise price shall be not
less than eighty-five percent (85%) of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant unless
otherwise determined by the Administrator.

             
  (iii) In the case of other Awards, such price as is determined by the
Administrator.

            
   (iv) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 7(a), in the case of an Award
issued pursuant to Section 6(d), above, the exercise or purchase price for the Award shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of the relevant instrument
evidencing the agreement to issue such Award.

          (b) Consideration. Subject to Applicable Laws, the consideration to be paid for
the Shares to be issued upon exercise or purchase of an Award including the method of payment,
shall be determined by the Administrator (and, in the case of an Incentive Share Option, shall be
determined at the time of grant). In addition to any other types of consideration the Administrator
may determine, the Administrator is authorized to accept as consideration for Shares issued under
the Plan the following:

            
   (i) cash;

            
   (ii) check;

            
   (iii) if the exercise or purchase occurs on or after the Registration Date, surrender of
Shares or delivery of a properly executed form of attestation of ownership of Shares as the
Administrator may require which have a Fair Market Value on the date of surrender or attestation
equal to the aggregate exercise price of the Shares as to which said Award shall be exercised,
provided, however, that Shares acquired under the Plan or any other equity compensation plan or
agreement of the Company must have been held by the Grantee for a period of more than six (6)
months (and not used for another Award exercise by attestation during such period);

            
   (iv) with respect to Options, if the exercise occurs on or after the Registration Date,
payment through a broker-dealer sale and remittance procedure pursuant to which the Grantee (A)
shall provide written instructions to a Company designated brokerage firm to effect the immediate
sale of some or all of the purchased Shares and remit to the Company sufficient funds to cover the
aggregate exercise price payable for the purchased Shares and (B) shall provide written directives
to the Company to deliver the certificates for the purchased Shares directly to such brokerage firm
in order to complete the sale transaction; or

            
   (v) any combination of the foregoing methods of payment.

The Administrator may at any time or from time to time, by adoption of or by amendment to the
standard forms of Award Agreement described in Section 4(b)(iv), or by other means, grant

11

 

Awards which do not permit all of the foregoing forms of consideration to be used in payment for
the Shares or which otherwise restrict one or more forms of consideration.

          (c) Taxes. No Shares shall be delivered under the Plan to any Grantee or other
person until such Grantee or other person has made arrangements acceptable to the Administrator for
the satisfaction of any non-U.S., federal, state, or local income and employment tax withholding
obligations, including, without limitation, obligations incident to the receipt of Shares or the
disqualifying disposition of Shares received on exercise of an Incentive Share Option. Upon
exercise of an Award the Company shall withhold or collect from Grantee an amount sufficient to
satisfy such tax obligations.

     8. Exercise of Award.

          (a) Procedure for Exercise: Rights as a Shareholder.

as determined by the Administrator under the terms of the Plan and specified in the Award
Agreement.

               (ii) An Award shall be deemed to be exercised when written notice of such exercise has been
given to the Company in accordance with the terms of the Award by the person entitled to exercise
the Award and full payment for the Shares with respect to which the Award is exercised, including,
to the extent selected, use of the broker-dealer sale and remittance procedure to pay the purchase
price as provided in Section 7(b)(iv).

          (b) Exercise of Award Following Termination of Continuous Service.

               (i) An Award may not be exercised after the termination date of such Award set forth in the
Award Agreement and may be exercised following the termination of a Grantee’s Continuous Service
only to the extent provided in the Award Agreement.

               (ii) Where the Award Agreement permits a Grantee to exercise an Award following the
termination of the Grantee’s Continuous Service for a specified period, the Award shall terminate
to the extent not exercised on the last day of the specified period or the last day of the original
term of the Award, whichever occurs first.

               (iii) Any Award designated as an Incentive Share Option to the extent not exercised within the
time permitted by law for the exercise of Incentive Share Options following the termination of a
Grantee’s Continuous Service shall convert automatically to a Non-Qualified Share Option and
thereafter shall be exercisable as such to the extent exercisable by its terms for the period
specified in the Award Agreement.

     9. Conditions Upon Issuance of Shares.

          (a) Shares shall not be issued pursuant to the exercise of an Award unless the exercise of
such Award and the issuance and delivery of such Shares pursuant thereto shall comply with all
Applicable Laws, and shall be further subject to the approval of counsel for the Company with
respect to such compliance.

12

 

          (b) As a condition to the exercise of an Award, the Company may require the person exercising
such Award to represent and warrant at the time of any such exercise that the 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 Applicable
Laws.

          (c) As a condition to the exercise of an Award, the Grantee shall grant a power of attorney to
the Board or any person designated by the Board to exercise the voting rights with respect to the
Shares, and the Company may require the person exercising such Award to acknowledge and agree to be
bound by the provisions of the Shareholders Agreement entered into among the shareholders of the
Company from time to time, as if the Grantee is an Ordinary Shareholder thereunder.

     10. Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization. Subject to any required action by the
shareholders of the Company, the number of Shares covered by each outstanding Award, and the number
of Shares which have been authorized for issuance under the Plan but as to which no Awards have yet
been granted or which have been returned to the Plan, the exercise or purchase price of each such
outstanding Award, the maximum number of Shares with respect to which Awards may be granted to any
Grantee in any fiscal year of the Company, as well as any other terms that the Administrator
determines require adjustment shall be proportionately adjusted for (i) any increase or decrease in the number of issued Shares resulting from a share split, reverse
share split, share dividend, combination or reclassification of the Shares, or similar transaction
affecting the Shares, (ii) any other increase or decrease in the number of issued Shares effected
without receipt of consideration by the Company, or (iii) as the Administrator may determine in its
discretion, any other transaction with respect to Ordinary Shares including a corporate merger,
consolidation, acquisition of property or equity, separation (including a spin-off or other
distribution of shares or property), reorganization, liquidation (whether partial or complete) or
any similar transaction; provided, however that conversion of any convertible securities of the
Company shall not be deemed to have been “effected without receipt of consideration.” Such
adjustment shall be made by the Administrator and its determination shall be final, binding and
conclusive. Except as the Administrator determines, 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 hereof shall be made with respect to, the number or price of Shares subject to an Award. In
the event of a Spin-off Transaction, the Administrator may in its discretion make such adjustments
and take such other action as it deems appropriate with respect to outstanding Awards under the Plan, including but not limited to: (i) adjustments to the number and kind of
Shares, the exercise or purchase price per Share and the vesting periods of outstanding Awards,
(ii) prohibit the exercise of Awards during certain periods of time prior to the consummation of
the Spin-off Transaction, or (iii) the substitution, exchange or grant of Awards to purchase
securities of the Subsidiary; provided that the Administrator shall not be obligated to make any
such adjustments or take any such action hereunder.

     11. Corporate Transactions and Changes in Control.

            (a) Termination of Award to the Extent Not Assumed in Corporate Transaction.
Effective upon the consummation of a Corporate Transaction, all outstanding

13

 

Awards under the Plan
shall terminate. However, all such Awards shall not terminate to the extent they are Assumed in
connection with the Corporate Transaction.

          (b) Acceleration of Award Upon Corporate Transaction or Change in Control.

               (1). Corporate Transaction. Except as provided otherwise in an individual Award
Agreement, in the event of a Corporate Transaction, for the portion of each Award that is neither
Assumed nor Replaced, such portion of the Award shall automatically become fully vested and
exercisable and be released from any repurchase or forfeiture rights (other than repurchase rights
exercisable at Fair Market Value) for all of the Shares at the time represented by such portion of
the Award, immediately prior to the specified effective date of such Corporate Transaction,
provided that the Grantee’s Continuous Service has not terminated prior to such date. The portion
of the Award that is not Assumed shall terminate under subsection (a) of this Section 11 to the
extent not exercised prior to the consummation of such Corporate Transaction.

               (2) Change in Control. Except as provided otherwise in an individual Award
Agreement, in the event of a Change in Control (other than a Change in Control which also is a
Corporate Transaction), each Award which is at the time outstanding under the Plan automatically
shall become fully vested and exercisable and be released from any repurchase or forfeiture rights
(other than repurchase rights exercisable at Fair Market Value), immediately prior to the specified
effective date of such Change in Control, for all of the Shares at the time represented by such
Award, provided that the Grantee’s Continuous Service has not terminated prior to such date.

          (c) Effect of Acceleration on Incentive Share Options. Any Incentive Share Option
accelerated under this Section 11 in connection with a Corporate Transaction or Change in Control
shall remain exercisable as an Incentive Share Option under the Code only to the extent the
[$100,000] dollar limitation of Section 422(d) of the Code is not exceeded. To the extent such
dollar limitation is exceeded, the excess Options shall be treated as Non-Qualified Share Options.

     12. Effective Date and Term of Plan. The Plan shall become effective upon the later to
occur of its adoption by the Board or its approval by the shareholders of the Company. It shall
continue in effect for a term of ten (10) years unless sooner terminated. Subject to Section 17,
below, and Applicable Laws, Awards may be granted under the Plan upon its becoming effective.

     13. Amendment, Suspension or Termination of the Plan.

          (a) The Board may at any time amend, suspend or terminate the Plan; provided, however, that no
such amendment shall be made without the approval of the Company’s shareholders to the extent such
approval is required by Applicable Laws, or if such amendment would change any of the provisions of
Section 4(b)(vi) or this Section 13(a).

          (b) No Award may be granted during any suspension of the Plan or after termination of the
Plan.

14

 

          (c) No suspension or termination of the Plan (including termination of the Plan under
Section 12, above) shall adversely affect any rights under Awards already granted to a Grantee.

     14. Reservation of Shares.

          (a) The Company, during the term of the Plan, will at all times reserve and keep available
such number of Shares as shall be sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the Plan.

          (b) The inability of the Company to obtain authority from any regulatory body having
jurisdiction, which authority is deemed by the Company’s counsel to be necessary to the lawful
issuance and sale of any Shares hereunder, shall relieve the Company of any liability in respect of
the failure to issue or sell such Shares as to which such requisite authority shall not have been
obtained.

     15. No Effect on Terms of Employment/Consulting Relationship. The Plan shall not
confer upon any Grantee any right with respect to the Grantee’s Continuous Service, nor shall it
interfere in any way with his or her right or the right of the Company or any Related Entity to
terminate the Grantee’s Continuous Service at any time, with or without Cause, and with or without
notice. The ability of the Company or any Related Entity to terminate the employment of a Grantee
who is employed at will is in no way affected by its determination that the Grantee’s Continuous
Service has been terminated for Cause for the purposes of this Plan.

     16. No Effect on Retirement and Other Benefit Plans. Except as specifically provided
in a retirement or other benefit plan of the Company or a Related Entity, Awards shall not be
deemed compensation for purposes of computing benefits or contributions under any retirement plan
of the Company or a Related Entity, and shall not affect any benefits under any other benefit plan
of any kind or any benefit plan subsequently instituted under which the availability or amount of
benefits is related to level of compensation. The Plan is not a “Retirement Plan” or “Welfare Plan”
under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended.

     17. Shareholder Approval. The grant of Incentive Share Options under the Plan shall be
subject to approval by the shareholders of the Company within two (2) months after the date the
Plan is adopted excluding Incentive Share Options issued in substitution for outstanding Incentive
Share Options pursuant to Section 424(a) of the Code. Such shareholder approval shall be obtained
in the degree and manner required under Applicable Laws. The Administrator may grant Incentive
Share Options under the Plan prior to approval by the shareholders, but until such approval is
obtained, no such Incentive Share Option shall be exercisable. In the event that shareholder
approval is not obtained within the two (2) month period provided above, all Incentive Share
Options previously granted under the Plan shall be exercisable as Non-Qualified Share Options.

     18. Vesting Schedule. Except as unanimously approved by the Board, Options to be
issued under the Plan shall be subject to a minimum three (3) year vesting schedule calling for
vesting no faster than the following, counting from the applicable grant date with respect to the
total issued Options: thirty-three percent (33%) at the end of first twelve (12) months,
thirty-three(33%) at the end of (24) months, and thirty-four (34%) at the end of thirty-six (36)
months.

15

 

     19. Drag-Along Events. The Award Agreement shall include a provision whereby in the
event of a Drag-Along Event, the Grantees who hold any Shares upon exercise of the Award shall
sell, transfer, convey or assign all of their Shares pursuant to, and so as to give effect to, the
Drag-Along Event, and each of such Grantees shall grant to the then current [chief executive
officer of the Company or an authorized officer], a power of attorney to transfer his/her Shares
and to do and carry out all other acts and to sign all other documents that are necessary or
advisable to complete the Drag-Along Event.

     20. Qualified IPO. The Award Agreement shall include a provision whereby in the case
of a Qualified IPO, the Grantees shall enter into any agreements with any underwriter, coordinator,
bankers or sponsor elected by the Company for the purpose of the Qualified IPO, and each of such
Grantees shall grants to the then [current chief executive officer or other authorized officer] of
the Company a power of attorney to enter into any agreements with any underwriter, coordinator,
bankers or sponsor elected by the Company and to do and carry out all the acts and to sign all the
documents that are necessary or advisable to complete the Qualified IPO.

     21. Unfunded Obligation. Any amounts payable to Grantees pursuant to the Plan shall be
unfunded and unsecured obligations for all purposes, including,
without limitation, Title I of the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended. Neither the Company nor any Related
Entity shall be required to segregate any monies from its general funds, or to create any trusts,
or establish any special accounts with respect to such obligations. The Company shall retain at all
times beneficial ownership of any investments, including trust investments, which the Company may make to fulfill its payment obligations hereunder.
Any investments or the creation or maintenance of any trust or any Grantee account shall not create
or constitute a trust or fiduciary relationship between the Administrator, the Company or any
Related Entity and a Grantee, or otherwise create any vested or beneficial interest in any Grantee
or the Grantee’s creditors in any assets of the Company or a Related Entity. The Grantees shall
have no claim against the Company or any Related Entity for any changes in the value of any assets
that may be invested or reinvested by the Company with respect to the Plan.

     22. Construction. Captions and titles contained herein are for convenience only and
shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of any provision of the Plan. Except when otherwise
indicated by the context, the singular shall include the plural and the plural shall include the
singular. Use of the term “or” is not intended to be exclusive, unless the context clearly requires
otherwise.

Employee, Director or Consultant, Continuous Service shall be deemed terminated upon the actual
cessation of providing services to the Company or a Related Entity notwithstanding any required
notice period that must be fulfilled before a termination as an Employee, Director or Consultant
can be effective under Applicable Laws. A Grantee’s Continuous Service shall be deemed to have

the responsibilities and functions of the position held by the Grantee by reason of any medically

     3. Shares Subject to the Plan.

          (a) Subject to the provisions of Section 10, below, the maximum aggregate number of Shares which
may be issued pursuant to all Awards (including Incentive Share
Options) is 1,235,955 Shares
(proportionally adjusted to reflect any share dividends, share splits,

6

 

or similar transactions). The Shares to be issued pursuant to Awards may be authorized, but
unissued, or reacquired Ordinary Shares.

          (b) Any Shares covered by an Award (or portion of an Award) which is forfeited, canceled or expires
(whether voluntarily or involuntarily) shall be deemed not to have been issued for purposes of
determining the maximum aggregate number of Shares which may be issued under the Plan. Shares that
actually have been issued under the Plan pursuant to an Award shall not be returned to the Plan and
shall not become available for future issuance under the Plan, except that if unvested Shares are
forfeited, or repurchased by the Company at the lower of their original purchase price or their
Fair Market Value at the time of repurchase, such Shares shall become available for future grant
under the Plan. To the extent not prohibited by Section 422(b)(l) of the Code (and the
corresponding regulations thereunder), the listing requirements of The Nasdaq National Market (or
other established stock exchange or national market system on which the Ordinary Shares are traded)
and Applicable Law, any Shares covered by an Award which are surrendered (i) in payment of the
Award exercise or purchase price or (ii) in satisfaction of tax withholding obligations incident to
the exercise of an Award shall be deemed not to have been issued for purposes of determining the
maximum number of Shares which may be issued pursuant to all Awards under the Plan, unless
otherwise determined by the Administrator.

     4. Administration of the Plan.

          (a) Plan Administrator.

               (i) Administration with Respect to Directors and Officers. With respect to grants of Awards
to Directors or Employees who are also Officers or Directors of the Company, the Plan shall be
administered by (A) the Board or (B) a Committee designated by the Board, which Committee shall be
constituted in such a manner as to satisfy the Applicable Laws and to permit such grants and
related transactions under the Plan to be exempt from Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act in
accordance with Rule 16b-3. Once appointed, such Committee shall continue to serve in its
designated capacity until otherwise directed by the Board.

               (ii) Administration With Respect to Consultants and Other Employees. With respect to grants
of Awards to Employees or Consultants who are neither Directors nor Officers of the Company, the
Plan shall be administered by (A) the Board or (B) a Committee designated by the Board, which
Committee shall be constituted in such a manner as to satisfy the Applicable Laws. Once appointed,
such Committee shall continue to serve in its designated capacity until otherwise directed by the
Board. The Board may authorize one or more Officers to grant such Awards and may limit such
authority as the Board determines from time to time.

               (iii) Administration Errors. In the event an Award is granted in a manner inconsistent with
the provisions of this subsection (a), such Award shall be presumptively valid as of its grant date
to the extent permitted by the Applicable Laws.

          (b) Powers of the Administrator. Subject to Applicable Laws and the provisions of the Plan
(including any other powers given to the Administrator hereunder), and

7

 

except as otherwise provided by the Board, the Administrator shall have the authority, in its
discretion:

               (i) to select the Employees, Directors and Consultants to whom Awards may be granted from time to
time hereunder;

               (ii) to determine whether and to what extent Awards are granted hereunder;

               (iii) to determine the number of Shares or the amount of other consideration to be covered by each
Award granted hereunder;

               (iv) to approve forms of Award Agreements for use under the Plan;

               (v) to determine the terms and conditions of any Award granted hereunder (including the vesting
schedule set forth in the Notice of Stock Option Award);

               (vi) to amend the terms of any outstanding Award granted under the Plan, provided that (A) any
amendment that would adversely affect the Grantee’s rights under an outstanding Award shall not be
made without the Grantee’s written consent;

               (vii) to construe and interpret the terms of the Plan and Awards, including without limitation, any
notice of award or Award Agreement, granted pursuant to the Plan;

               (viii) to grant Awards to Employees, Directors and Consultants employed outside the United States
on such terms and conditions different from those specified in the Plan as may, in the judgment of
the Administrator, be necessary or desirable to further the purpose of the Plan; and

               (ix) to take such other action, not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, as the Administrator
deems appropriate.

          (c) Indemnification. In addition to such other rights of indemnification as they may have
as members of the Board or as Officers or Employees of the Company or a Related Entity, members of
the Board and any Officers or Employees of the Company or a Related Entity to whom authority to act
for the Board, the Administrator or the Company is delegated shall be defended and indemnified by
the Company to the extent permitted by law on an after-tax basis against all reasonable expenses,
including attorneys’ fees, actually and necessarily incurred in connection with the defense of any
claim, investigation, action, suit or proceeding, or in connection with any appeal therein, to
which they or any of them may be a party by reason of any action taken or failure to act under or
in connection with the Plan, or any Award granted hereunder, and against all amounts paid by them
in settlement thereof (provided such settlement is approved by the Company) or paid by them in
satisfaction of a judgment in any such claim, investigation, action, suit or proceeding, except in
relation to matters as to which it shall be adjudged in such claim, investigation, action, suit or
proceeding that such person is liable for gross negligence, bad faith or intentional misconduct;
provided, however, that within thirty (30)
days after the institution of such claim, investigation, action, suit or proceeding, such person

8

 

shall offer to the Company, in writing, the opportunity at the Company’s expense to defend the
same.

     5. Eligibility. Awards other than Incentive Share Options may be granted to Employees,
Directors and Consultants. Incentive Share Options may be granted only to Employees of the Company
or a Parent or a Subsidiary of the Company. An Employee, Director or Consultant who has been
granted an Award may, if otherwise eligible, be granted additional Awards.

     6. Terms and Conditions of Awards.

          (a) Types of Awards. The Administrator is authorized under the Plan to award any type of
arrangement to an Employee, Director or Consultant that is not inconsistent with the provisions of
the Plan and that by its terms involves or might involve the issuance of (i) Shares, (ii) cash or
(iii) an Option, a SAR, or similar right with a fixed or variable price related to the Fair Market
Value of the Shares and with an exercise or conversion privilege related to the passage of time,
the occurrence of one or more events, or the satisfaction of performance criteria or other
conditions. Such awards include, without limitation, Options, SARs, sales or bonuses of Restricted
Share, Restricted Share Units or Dividend Equivalent Rights, and an Award may consist of one such
security or benefit, or two (2) or more of them in any combination or alternative.

          (b) Designation of Award. Each Award shall be designated in the Award Agreement. In the
case of an Option, the Option shall be designated as either an Incentive Share Option or a
Non-Qualified Share Option. However, notwithstanding such designation, to the extent that the
aggregate Fair Market Value of Shares subject to Options designated as Incentive Share Options
which become exercisable for the first time by a Grantee during any calendar year (under all plans
of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary of the Company) exceeds $100,000, such excess Options,
to the extent of the Shares covered thereby in excess of the foregoing limitation, shall be treated
as Non-Qualified Share Options. For this purpose, Incentive Share Options shall be taken into
account in the order in which they were granted, and the Fair Market Value of the Shares shall be
determined as of the grant date of the relevant Option.

          (c) Conditions of Award. Subject to the terms of the Plan, the Administrator shall
determine the provisions, terms, and conditions of each Award including, but not limited to, the
Award vesting schedule, repurchase provisions, rights of first refusal, forfeiture provisions, form
of payment (cash, Shares, or other consideration) upon settlement of the Award, payment
contingencies, and satisfaction of any performance criteria. The performance criteria established
by the Administrator may be based on any one of, or
combination of, the following: (i) increase in share price, (ii) earnings per share, (iii) total
shareholder return, (iv) operating margin, (v) gross margin, (vi) return on equity, (vii) return on
assets, (viii) return on investment, (ix) operating income, (x) net operating income, (xi) pre-tax
profit, (xii) cash flow, (xiii) revenue, (xiv) expenses, (xv) earnings before interest, taxes and
depreciation, (xvi) economic value added and (xvii) market share. The performance criteria may be
applicable to the Company, Related Entities and/or any individual business units of the Company or
any Related Entity. Partial achievement of the specified criteria may result in a payment or
vesting corresponding to the degree of achievement as specified in the Award Agreement.

9

 

          (d) Acquisitions and Other Transactions. The Administrator may issue Awards under the Plan
in settlement, assumption or substitution for, outstanding awards or obligations to grant future
awards in connection with the Company or a Related Entity acquiring another entity, an interest in
another entity or an additional interest in a Related Entity whether by merger, share purchase,
asset purchase or other form of transaction.

          (e) Deferral of Award Payment. The Administrator may establish one or more programs under
the Plan to permit selected Grantees the opportunity to elect to defer receipt of consideration
upon exercise of an Award, satisfaction of performance criteria, or other event that absent the
election would entitle the Grantee to payment or receipt of Shares or other consideration under an
Award. The Administrator may establish the election procedures, the timing of such elections, the
mechanisms for payments of, and accrual of interest or other earnings, if any, on amounts, Shares
or other consideration so deferred, and such other terms, conditions, rules and procedures that the
Administrator deems advisable for the administration of any such deferral program.

          (f) Separate Programs. The Administrator may establish one or more separate programs under
the Plan for the purpose of issuing particular forms of Awards to one or more classes of Grantees
on such terms and conditions as determined by the Administrator from time to time.

          (g) Early Exercise. The Award Agreement may, but need not, include a provision whereby the
Grantee may elect at any time while an Employee, Director or Consultant to exercise any part or all
of the Award prior to full vesting of the Award. Any unvested Shares received pursuant to such
exercise may be subject to a repurchase right in favor of the Company or a Related Entity or to any
other restriction the Administrator determines to be appropriate.

          (h) Term of Award. The term of each Award shall be the term stated in the Award Agreement,
provided, however, that the term of an Incentive Share Option shall be no more than ten (10) years
from the date of grant thereof. However, in the case of an Incentive Share Option granted to a
Grantee who, at the time the Option is granted, owns shares representing more than ten percent
(10%) of the voting power of all classes of shares of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary of
the Company, the term of the Incentive Stock Option shall be five (5) years from the date of grant
thereof or such shorter term as may be provided in the Award Agreement. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the specified term of any Award shall not include any period for which the Grantee has
elected to defer the receipt of the Shares or cash issuable pursuant to the Award.

          (i) Transferability of Awards. Incentive Share Options may not be sold, pledged, assigned,
hypothecated, transferred, or disposed of in any manner other than by will or by the laws of
descent or distribution and may be exercised, during the lifetime of the Grantee, only by the
Grantee. Non-Qualified Stock Options and other Awards shall be transferable (i) by will and by the
laws of descent and distribution and (ii) during the lifetime of the Grantee, to the extent and in
the manner authorized by the Administrator.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Grantee may designate one or more beneficiaries of the Grantee’s
Award in the event of the Grantee’s death on a beneficiary designation form provided by the
Administrator.

10

 

          (j) Time of Granting Awards. The date of grant of an Award shall for all purposes be the
date on which the Administrator makes the determination to grant such Award, or such other date as
is determined by the Administrator.

     7. Award
Exercise or Purchase Price, Consideration and Taxes.

          (a) Exercise or Purchase Price. The exercise or purchase price, if any, for an Award shall
be as follows:

               (i) In the case of an Incentive Share Option:

                    granted to an Employee who, at the time of the grant of such Incentive Share Option owns shares
representing more than ten percent (10%) of the voting power of all classes of shares of the
Company or any Parent or Subsidiary of the Company, the per Share exercise price shall be not less
than one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant; or

                    granted to any Employee other than an Employee described in the preceding paragraph, the per Share
exercise price shall be at Eight (8) United States Dollars even.

               (ii) In
the case of a Non-Qualified Share Option, the per Share exercise price shall be not less
than eighty-five percent (85%) of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant unless
otherwise determined by the Administrator.

               (iii) In
the case of other Awards, such price as is determined by the Administrator.

               (iv) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 7(a), in the case of an Award issued
pursuant to Section 6(d), above, the exercise or purchase price for the Award shall be determined
in accordance with the provisions of the relevant instrument evidencing the agreement to issue such
Award.

          (b) Consideration. Subject to Applicable Laws, the consideration to be paid for the Shares
to be issued upon exercise or purchase of an Award including the method of payment, shall be
determined by the Administrator (and, in the case of an Incentive Share Option, shall be determined
at the time of grant). In addition to any other types of consideration the Administrator may
determine, the Administrator is authorized to accept as consideration for Shares issued under the
Plan the following:

               (i) cash;

               (ii) check;

               (iii) if the exercise or purchase occurs on or after the Registration Date, surrender of Shares or
delivery of a properly executed form of attestation of ownership of Shares as the Administrator may
require which have a Fair Market Value on the date of surrender or attestation equal to the
aggregate exercise price of the Shares as to which said Award
shall be exercised, provided, however, that Shares acquired under the Plan or any other equity

11

 

compensation plan or agreement of the Company must have been held by the Grantee for a period of
more than six (6) months (and not used for another Award exercise by attestation during such
period);

               (iv) with respect to Options, if the exercise occurs on or after the Registration Date, payment
through a broker-dealer sale and remittance procedure pursuant to which the Grantee (A) shall
provide written instructions to a Company designated brokerage firm to effect the immediate sale of
some or all of the purchased Shares and remit to the Company
sufficient funds to cover the
aggregate exercise price payable for the purchased Shares and (B) shall provide written directives
to the Company to deliver the certificates for the purchased Shares directly to such brokerage firm
in order to complete the sale transaction; or

               (v) any combination of the foregoing methods of payment.

The Administrator may at any time or from time to time, by adoption of or by amendment to the
standard forms of Award Agreement described in Section 4(b)(iv), or by other means, grant Awards
which do not permit all of the foregoing forms of consideration to be used in payment for the
Shares or which otherwise restrict one or more forms of consideration.

          (c) Taxes. No Shares shall be delivered under the Plan to any Grantee or other person until
such Grantee or other person has made arrangements acceptable to the Administrator for the
satisfaction of any non-U.S., federal, state, or local income and employment tax withholding
obligations, including, without limitation, obligations incident to the receipt of Shares or the
disqualifying disposition of Shares received on exercise of an Incentive Share Option. Upon
exercise of an Award the Company shall withhold or collect from Grantee an amount sufficient to
satisfy such tax obligations.

     8. Exercise of Award.

          (a) Procedure for Exercise; Rights as a Shareholder.

               (i) Any Award granted hereunder shall be exercisable at such times and under such conditions as
determined by the Administrator under the terms of the Plan and specified in the Award Agreement.

               (ii) An Award shall be deemed to be exercised when written notice of such exercise has been given
to the Company in accordance with the terms of the Award by the person entitled to exercise the
Award and full payment for the Shares with respect to which the Award is exercised, including, to
the extent selected, use of the broker-dealer sale and remittance procedure to pay the purchase
price as provided in Section 7(b)(iv).

          (b) Exercise of Award Following Termination of Continuous Service.

               (i) An Award may not be exercised after the termination date of such Award set forth in the Award
Agreement and may be exercised following the termination of a Grantee’s Continuous Service only to
the extent provided in the Award Agreement.

12

 

               (ii) Where the Award Agreement permits a Grantee to exercise an Award following the termination of
the Grantee’s Continuous Service for a specified period, the Award shall terminate to the extent
not exercised on the last day of the specified period or the last day of the original term of the
Award, whichever occurs first.

               (iii) Any Award designated as an Incentive Share Option to the extent not exercised within the time
permitted by law for the exercise of Incentive Share Options following the termination of a
Grantee’s Continuous Service shall convert automatically to a Non-Qualified Share Option and
thereafter shall be exercisable as such to the extent exercisable by its terms for the period
specified in the Award Agreement.

     9. Conditions Upon Issuance of Shares.

          (a) Shares shall not be issued pursuant to the exercise of an Award unless the exercise of such
Award and the issuance and delivery of such Shares pursuant thereto shall comply with all
Applicable Laws, and shall be further subject to the approval of counsel for the Company with
respect to such compliance.

          (b) As a condition to the exercise of an Award, the Company may require the person exercising such
Award to represent and warrant at the time of any such exercise that the 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 Applicable Laws.

          (c) As a condition to the exercise of an Award, the Grantee shall grant a power of attorney to the
[Board or any person designated by the Board] to exercise the voting rights with respect to the
Shares, and the Company may require the person exercising such Award to acknowledge and agree to be
bound by the provisions of the Shareholders Agreement entered into among the shareholders of the
Company from time to time, as if the Grantee is an Ordinary Shareholder thereunder.

     10. Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization. Subject to any required action by the
shareholders of the Company, the number of Shares covered by each outstanding Award, and the number
of Shares which have been authorized for issuance under the Plan but as to which no Awards have yet
been granted or which have been returned to the Plan, the exercise or purchase price of each such
outstanding Award, the maximum number of Shares with respect to which Awards may be granted to any
Grantee in any fiscal year of the Company, as well as any other terms that the Administrator
determines require adjustment shall be proportionately adjusted for (i) any increase or decrease in
the number of issued Shares resulting from a share split, reverse
share split,  share dividend,
combination or reclassification of the Shares, or similar transaction affecting the Shares, (ii)
any other increase or decrease in the number of issued Shares effected without receipt of
consideration by the Company, or (iii) as the Administrator may determine in its discretion, any
other transaction with respect to Ordinary Shares including a corporate merger, consolidation,
acquisition of property or equity, separation (including a spin-off or other distribution of shares
or property), reorganization, liquidation (whether partial or
complete) or any similar transaction; provided, however that conversion of any convertible
securities of the Company shall not be deemed to have been “effected without receipt of
consideration.” Such

13

 

adjustment shall be made by the Administrator and its determination shall be final, binding and
conclusive. Except as the Administrator determines, 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 hereof shall be made with respect to, the number or price of Shares subject to an Award. In
the event of a Spin-off Transaction, the Administrator may in its discretion make such adjustments
and take such other action as it deems appropriate with respect to outstanding Awards under the
Plan, including but not limited to: (i) adjustments to the number and kind of Shares, the exercise
or purchase price per Share and the vesting periods of outstanding Awards, (ii) prohibit the
exercise of Awards during certain periods of time prior to the consummation of the Spin-off
Transaction, or (iii) the substitution, exchange or grant of Awards to purchase securities of the
Subsidiary; provided that the Administrator shall not be obligated to make any such adjustments or
take any such action hereunder.

     11. Corporate Transactions and Changes in Control.

          (a) Termination of Award to the Extent Not Assumed in Corporate Transaction. Effective upon
the consummation of a Corporate Transaction, all outstanding Awards under the Plan shall terminate.
However, all such Awards shall not terminate to the extent they are Assumed in connection with the
Corporate Transaction.

          (b) Acceleration of Award Upon Corporate Transaction or Change in Control.

               (1). Corporate Transaction. Except as provided otherwise in an individual Award Agreement,
in the event of a Corporate Transaction, for the portion of each Award that is neither Assumed nor
Replaced, such portion of the Award shall automatically become fully vested and exercisable and be
released from any repurchase or forfeiture rights (other than repurchase rights exercisable at Fair
Market Value) for all of the Shares at the time represented by such portion of the Award,
immediately prior to the specified effective date of such Corporate Transaction, provided that the
Grantee’s Continuous Service has not terminated prior to such date. The portion of the Award that
is not Assumed shall terminate under subsection (a) of this Section 11 to the extent not exercised
prior to the consummation of such Corporate Transaction.

               (2) Change in Control. Except as provided otherwise in an individual Award Agreement, in
the event of a Change in Control (other than a Change in Control which also is a Corporate
Transaction), each Award which is at the time outstanding under the Plan automatically shall become
fully vested and exercisable and be released from any repurchase or forfeiture rights (other than
repurchase rights exercisable at Fair Market Value), immediately prior to the specified effective
date of such Change in Control, for all of the Shares at the time represented by such Award,
provided that the Grantee’s Continuous Service has not terminated prior to such date.

          (c) Effect of Acceleration on Incentive Share Options. Any Incentive Share Option
accelerated under this Section 11 in connection with a Corporate Transaction or Change in Control
shall remain exercisable as an Incentive Share Option under the Code only to
the extent the $100,000 dollar limitation of Section 422(d) of the Code is not exceeded. To the

14

 

extent such dollar limitation is exceeded, the excess Options shall be treated as Non-Qualified
Share Options.

     12. Effective Date and Term of Plan. The Plan shall become effective upon the later to
occur of its adoption by the Board or its approval by the shareholders of the Company. It shall
continue in effect for a term of ten (10) years unless sooner terminated. Subject to Section 17,
below, and Applicable Laws, Awards may be granted under the Plan upon its becoming effective.

     13. Amendment, Suspension or Termination of the Plan.

          (a) The Board may at any time amend, suspend or terminate the Plan; provided, however, that no such
amendment shall be made without the approval of the Company’s shareholders to the extent such
approval is required by Applicable Laws, or if such amendment would change any of the provisions of
Section 4(b)(vi) or this Section 13(a).

          (b) No Award may be granted during any suspension of the Plan or after termination of the Plan.

          (c) No suspension or termination of the Plan (including termination of the Plan under Section 12,
above) shall adversely affect any rights under Awards already granted to a Grantee.

     14. Reservation of Shares.

          (a) The Company, during the term of the Plan, will at all times reserve and keep available such
number of Shares as shall be sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the Plan.

          (b) The inability of the Company to obtain authority from any regulatory body having jurisdiction,
which authority is deemed by the Company’s counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale
of any Shares hereunder, shall relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to
issue or sell such Shares as to which such requisite authority shall not have been obtained.

     15. No Effect on Terms of Employment/Consulting Relationship. The Plan shall not confer
upon any Grantee any right with respect to the Grantee’s Continuous Service, nor shall it interfere
in any way with his or her right or the right of the Company or any Related Entity to terminate the
Grantee’s Continuous Service at any time, with or without Cause, and with or without notice. The
ability of the Company or any Related Entity to terminate the employment of a Grantee who is
employed at will is in no way affected by its determination that the Grantee’s Continuous Service
has been terminated for Cause for the purposes of this Plan.

     16. No Effect on Retirement and Other Benefit Plans. Except as specifically provided in a
retirement or other benefit plan of the Company or a Related Entity, Awards shall not be deemed
compensation for purposes of computing benefits or contributions under any
retirement plan of the Company or a Related Entity, and shall not affect any benefits under any
other benefit plan of any kind or any benefit plan subsequently instituted under which the
availability or amount of benefits is related to level of compensation. The Plan is not a
“Retirement Plan” or “Welfare Plan” under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as
amended.

15

 

     17. Shareholder Approval. The grant of Incentive Share Options under the Plan shall be
subject to approval by the shareholders of the Company within two (2) months after the date the
Plan is adopted excluding Incentive Share Options issued in substitution for outstanding Incentive
Share Options pursuant to Section 424(a) of the Code. Such shareholder approval shall be obtained
in the degree and manner required under Applicable Laws. The Administrator may grant Incentive
Share Options under the Plan prior to approval by the shareholders, but until such approval is
obtained, no such Incentive Share Option shall be exercisable. In the event that shareholder
approval is not obtained within the two (2) month period provided above, all Incentive Share
Options previously granted under the Plan shall be exercisable as Non-Qualified Share Options.

     18. Vesting Schedule. Except as unanimously approved by the Board, Options to be issued
under the Plan shall be subject to a minimum four (4) year vesting schedule calling for vesting no
faster than the following, counting from the applicable grant date with respect to the total issued
Options: twenty five percent (25%) at the end of first twelve (12) months, twenty five (25%) at the
