      pursuant to a notice of exercise within thirty days of the date of
      exercise and a definitive share certificate issued to the Option Holder in
      respect thereof. Save for any rights determined by reference to a date
      preceding the date of allotment, such Shares shall rank equally with the
      other Shares of the same class in issue at the date of allotment.

8.3   If an Option is exercised only in part, the balance shall remain
      exercisable on the same terms as originally applied to the whole Option
      and a new Option certificate shall be issued accordingly by the Company as
      soon as possible after the partial exercise.

8.4   If the Company is issuing (or transferring) Shares upon the exercise of an
      Option by reason of any statutory, regulatory or other legal provision,
      rule or any other requirement or guidance issued by or on behalf of
      institutional investors in the Company or any other body and which relates
      to dealings in Shares by directors or employees of any member of the
      Group, the Company shall not be obliged to issue or transfer the Shares in
      consequence of such exercise until all such restrictions are lifted and
      shall do so within the period of thirty days thereafter.

                                      -6-
<PAGE>
8.5   The allotment (or transfer) of any Shares under this Plan shall be subject
      to the Articles of Incorporation of the Company and to any necessary
      consents of any governmental or other authorities (whether in the United
      States of America, Sweden or otherwise) under any enactments or
      regulations from time to time in force and it shall be the responsibility
      of the Option Holder to comply with any requirements to be fulfilled in
      order to obtain or obviate the necessity of any such consent.

8.6   On the exercise of the Option by the Option Holder, personal taxes will be
      withheld by the appropriate company within the Group and accounted for to
      the local tax authorities in accordance with Swedish laws and regulations
      and, as necessary, the Option Holder will contribute to the appropriate
      company within the Group any sum that is required by the appropriate
      company within the Group to meet his personal tax liability in relation to
      the exercise of the Option.

9.    ADMINISTRATION AND AMENDMENT

9.1   The Plan shall be administered by the Board whose decision on all disputes
      shall be final.

9.2   Subject to Rule 9.3 below, prior approval of the Company in general
      meeting must be obtained for any alterations or additions to the Rules,
      other than any minor alterations or additions to benefit the
      administration of the Plan, if such alterations or additions would be to
      the advantage of Option Holders.

9.3   Not withstanding the provisions of 9.2 above, the Board may at any time by
      resolution make any alterations or additions to the Plan to the extent
      necessary (or as may be consequential upon such necessary amendments) to
      take account of a change in legislation or to obtain or maintain
      favourable tax, exchange control or regulatory treatment of any member of
      the Company or any Option Holder, and subject to this Rule and Rule 9.2
      then the Board may by resolution make any alterations or additions to the
      Plan that it considers appropriate.

9.4   The cost of establishing and operating the Plan shall be borne by the
      Participating Companies in such proportions as the Board shall determine.

9.5   The Board may establish a committee consisting of not less than three
      Board members to whom any or all of its powers in relation to the Plan may
      be delegated. The Board may at any time dissolve the committee, alter its
      constitution or direct the manner in which it shall act.

9.6   Any notice or other communication under or in connection with the Plan may
      be given by the Company either personally or by post and to the Company
      either personally or by post to the company secretary; items sent by post
      shall be prepaid and shall be deemed to have been received seventy-two
      hours after posting.

9.7   The Company shall at all times keep available sufficient authorised and
      unissued Shares in order to satisfy the exercise to the full extent still

      unissued Shares.

      pursuant to a notice of exercise within thirty days of the date of
      exercise and a definitive share certificate issued to the Option Holder in

      preceding the date of allotment, such Shares shall rank equally with the
      other Shares of the same class in issue at the date of allotment.

8.3   If an Option is exercised only in part, the balance shall remain
      exercisable on the same terms as originally applied to the whole Option
      and a new Option certificate shall be issued accordingly by the Company as

8.4   If the Company is issuing (or transferring) Shares upon the exercise of an
      Option by reason of any statutory, regulatory or other legal provision,
      rule or any other requirement or guidance issued by or on behalf of
      institutional investors in the Company or any other body and which relates
      to dealings in Shares by directors or employees of any member of the
      Group, the Company shall not be obliged to

                                      -6-
<PAGE>
      issue or transfer the Shares in consequence of such exercise until all
      such restrictions are lifted and shall do so within the period of thirty
      days thereafter.

8.5   The allotment (or transfer) of any Shares under this Plan shall be subject
      to the Articles of Incorporation of the Company and to any necessary
      consents of any governmental or other authorities (whether in the United
      States of America, Finland or otherwise) under any enactments or
      regulations from time to time in force and it shall be the responsibility
      of the Option Holder to comply with any requirements to be fulfilled in
      order to obtain or obviate the necessity of any such consent.

8.6   On the exercise of the Option by the Option Holder, personal taxes will be
      withheld by the appropriate company within the Group and accounted for to
      the local tax authorities in accordance with Finnish laws and regulations
      and, as necessary, the Option Holder will contribute to the appropriate
      company within the Group any sum that is required by the appropriate
      company within the Group to meet his personal tax liability in relation to
      the exercise of the Option.

9.    ADMINISTRATION AND AMENDMENT

      the advantage of Option Holders.

9.3   Not withstanding the provisions of 9.2 above, the Board may at any time by
      resolution make any alterations or additions to the Plan to the extent
      necessary (or as may be consequential upon such necessary amendments) to
      take account of a change in legislation or to obtain or maintain
      favourable tax, exchange control or regulatory treatment of any member of
      the Company or any Option Holder, and subject to this Rule and Rule 9.2
      then the Board may by resolution make any alterations or additions to the
      Plan that it considers appropriate.

9.4   The cost of establishing and operating the Plan shall be borne by the
      Participating Companies in such proportions as the Board shall determine.

      constitution or direct the manner in which it shall act.

9.6   Any notice or other communication under or in connection with the Plan may
      be given by the Company either personally or by post and to the Company
      either

                                      -7-

      personally or by post to the company secretary; items sent by post shall
      be prepaid and shall be deemed to have been received seventy-two hours
      after posting.

9.7   The Company shall at all times keep available sufficient authorised and
      unissued Shares in order to satisfy the exercise to the full extent still
      possible of all Options which have neither lapsed nor been fully
      exercised, taking account of any other obligations of the Company to issue
      unissued Shares.
