RULES 
 Introduction 

This 2011 Senior Executive & Directors Share Option Plan (the “Plan”) is intended to promote the interests of Digicel Group Limited (the

respect to the Option Shares in a series of cumulative instalments over a period of time beginning on the Grant Date or on such other date as the Plan Administrator shall determine (but in no event earlier than the date on which the Optionholder

Date. 

 The number of Option Shares with respect to which an Option may be exercised shall be cumulative, such that once the
Option shall become exercisable with respect to Option Shares, it shall remain exercisable with respect to such Option Shares until the exercise or expiration, lapse, cancellation or other termination of the Option with respect to such Option Shares

 The Plan Administrator shall have the authority, exercisable in its sole discretion at any time an Option

	 	(ii)	the number of Option Shares subject to the Option; 

  

	 	(iii)	the Exercise Price payable per Option Share; 

  
 8 

	 	(iv)	the Exercise Schedule (if any) applicable to the Option; 

  

	 	(v)	the Expiration Date of the Option; and 

  

	 	(vi)	subject as aforesaid, shall be in the form set out in Appendix 1 to these Rules or such other form as the Plan Administrator shall from time to time prescribe. 

 

	 	(f)	Save as otherwise provided hereunder, an Option granted under the Plan shall be personal to the Optionholder and shall be non-assignable and shall automatically lapse and cease to be exercisable if it is purported to be
transferred, assigned, mortgaged, charged or otherwise disposed of by the Optionholder, provided, however, that: 

  

	 	(i)	in the event an Optionholder dies while holding an outstanding Option granted hereunder, such Option may be exercised by the legal personal representative of such Optionholder subject to these Rules; or

  

	 	(ii)	following a written request from the Optionholder seeking the consent of the Plan Administrator to the transfer, assignment or otherwise disposal of such Option, the Plan Administrator shall have the authority,
exercisable in its sole discretion at any time an Option remains outstanding, and after due consideration of such written request to permit the Option granted under the Plan to be transferred, assigned or otherwise disposed of by the Optionholder.

  

	5.	Share Limits 

 The maximum aggregate number of Shares in respect of which Options may be
granted under the Plan shall not exceed 5,744,681 Shares. This aggregate limit shall include options issued under any other option plans operated by the Company. Shares issued pursuant to the exercise of Options granted hereunder shall reduce on a
share-for-share basis the maximum aggregate number of Shares available for issuance hereunder. To the extent Options granted hereunder are cancelled or lapse, expire or otherwise terminate prior to exercise, the Shares subject to such Options shall
become available for issuance pursuant to future Option grants under the Plan. 
  

	6.	Management Agreement 

 It shall be a condition of both the grant and the exercise of an
Option that the Participant shall upon exercise thereof at any time prior to a Change of Control or IPO enter into a Management Agreement in respect of all Shares acquired by him thereunder and shall remain party thereto, observing and performing
all of the provisions thereof, throughout the period of the Participant’s ownership of such Shares, or (if earlier) until such Management Agreement shall terminate, on which date or dates all applicable restrictions on the sale of the Shares
subject to such Option shall lapse subject to Rule 12. 

  
 9 

	7.	Exercise of Options 

  

	 	(a)	An Option may be exercised at any time for some or all of the Option Shares which are exercisable as of such time in accordance with the Exercise Schedule applicable to such Option and the provisions of these Rules.

  

	 	(b)	The exercise of an Option shall be effected by a notice in writing by the Optionholder to the Company (an “Exercise Notice”) which shall: 

 

	 	(i)	specify the number of Option Shares in respect of which the Option is being exercised; 

  

	 	(ii)	be accompanied by payment to the Company in cash or by cheque of an amount equal to the product of the number of Option Shares for which the Option is being exercised and the Exercise Price payable per Option Share, or
pursuant to Section 7(e) below; 

  

	 	(iii)	if required pursuant to Rule 6, be accompanied by a Management Agreement in the form applicable to such Option, duly executed by the Optionholder; and 

 

	 	(iv)	subject as aforesaid, be in the form set out in Appendix 2 to these Rules or such other form as the Plan Administrator may from time to time prescribe. 

 

	 	(c)	Within thirty (30) days after an Exercise Notice has taken effect, the Plan Administrator on behalf of the Company shall allot to the Participant the number of Shares in respect of which the Exercise Notice has
taken effect. 

  

	 	(d)	As soon as reasonably practicable after allotting Shares, the Plan Administrator on behalf of the Company shall issue to the Participant (or to the Manager on his behalf) a share certificate in respect of the Shares so
allotted. 

  

	 	(e)	In addition to the exercise procedure set forth in Rule 7(b), if an Option is exercised after the IPO date, such Option may be exercised, to the extent permitted by the Plan Administrator and the Securities Exchange on
which the Shares are quoted or listed, through a special sale and remittance or same-day sale procedure pursuant to which the Optionholder shall provide irrevocable written instructions to a Company-designated brokerage firm to effect the immediate
sale of the purchased Shares and remit to the Company, out of the sale proceeds available on the settlement date, sufficient funds to cover the aggregate Exercise Price payable for the purchased Shares, and shall concurrently provide irrevocable
written instructions to the Company to transfer the Shares directly to the brokerage firm to complete the sale transaction. 

  

	 	(f)	 The Plan Administrator, on behalf of the Company, shall not be under any obligation to allot or issue Shares to or on behalf of a Participant under or
in connection with this Plan unless and until the Plan Administrator is satisfied in its absolute discretion that such Participant has made payment to the Company of such sum as is, in the discretion of the Plan Administrator, sufficient to settle
any liability for any income tax and/or social insurance contributions and/or similar 

  
 10 

	 	
imposts which are or would be recoverable from such Participant as a result of the exercise of an Option and in respect of which the Company or any Qualifying Company is liable to account (in any
jurisdiction). 

  

	 	(g)	All Shares allotted under Options shall rank pari passu in all respects with the Shares for the time being in issue save as regards any rights attaching to such Shares by reference to a record date prior to the date of
such allotment. 

  

	 	(h)	The Company shall apply to such Securities Exchanges upon which Shares are listed from time to time for the listing of the Shares issuable under the Plan.

provide services to the Company or another Qualifying Company, of the following option (the “Option”) to purchase common shares of Digicel Group Limited (the “Company”) under the Company’s 2011 Senior Executive &
Directors Share Option Plan (the “Plan”):

	Address of Optionholder:	  	
		
	Grant Date of Option:	  	
		
	Number of Option Shares:	  	
		
	Exercise Price:	  	 US$[        ] per Option Share

		
	Vesting Commencement Date:

	Expiration Date:	  	[date immediately preceding 7-year anniversary of Grant Date], subject to earlier termination in accordance with the Rules of the Plan.

 The Optionholder understands and agrees that the Option is granted subject to and in accordance with the Rules of the Plan and
the Optionholder hereby acknowledges receipt of a copy of such Rules and agrees to be bound by such Rules. 
 The Optionholder further understands and
agrees that each vesting event as outlined in the above schedule may be conditional on achievement of certain agreed performance criteria which if applicable will be communicated to the option holder in conjunction with this Grant of Option. 

The Plan Administrator shall have the authority, exercisable in its absolute discretion to amend any of the agreed criteria but not if such amendment results
in a more onerous performance measure. This will normally only apply if there is an Act of God or if decisions are made by the Board which have an adverse effect on the achievement of any of the agreed performance criteria in which instance the
amendment will be limited to the direct impact of that specific matter. 
 Subject to Rule 4(f) of the Plan, the Optionholder further acknowledges that the
Option is personal to the Optionholder and may not be transferred, assigned, mortgaged, charged or otherwise disposed of by the Optionholder, that nothing in this Notice or in the Plan shall confer upon the Optionholder any right to continue in the
service or employment of the Company or any Qualifying Company for any period of specific duration and that this Option shall not form part of the terms and conditions of the Optionholder’s Service Contract with the Company or any Qualifying
Company employing him. Accordingly, the Optionholder acknowledges that he or she shall have no right to any compensation arising for the loss of his or her entitlement with respect to the Option or the Option Shares as a result of the termination of
the Optionholder’s status as a Service Provider (for any reason whatsoever). 
 Except as the Plan Administrator may otherwise provide at the time the
Option is granted or thereafter, or as required to comply with applicable law: 
  

	 	(a)	If the Participant’s employment or service with the Company and its affiliates is terminated by Participant or by the Company for any reason (other than death or disability or by the Company for cause), then
(i) to the extent not yet vested as of the Termination Date, an Option shall immediately be forfeited, and (ii) to the extent vested as of the Termination Date, an Option may be retained and, if applicable, exercised until the earlier of
(A) the date three (3) months (or such longer or shorter period, if any, specified in the applicable Service Agreement or Grant Notice) after the Termination Date or (B) the date such Option would have expired had it not been for the
termination of employment or service, after which time, in either case, such Option shall expire. 

  

	 	(b)	 If the Participant’s employment or service with the Company and its Affiliates is terminated by Participant or if he/she has served notice of
termination, or by the Company due to Participant’s death or disability, then (i) to the extent not yet vested as of the Termination Date or at the date of serving of the notice of termination, an Option shall immediately be forfeited, and
(ii) to the extent vested 

  
 12 

	 	
as of the Termination Date, an Option may be retained and, if applicable, exercised until the earlier of (A) the date one (1) year (or such longer or shorter period, if any, specified
in the applicable Service Agreement or Grant Notice) after such termination of employment or service or (B) the date such Option would have expired had it not been for the termination of employment or service, after which time, in either case,
such Option shall expire. 

  

	 	(c)	If the Participant’s employment or service with the Company and/or its Affiliates is terminated by the Participant or if he/she has served notice of termination, prior to any specified vesting period as defined in
the Schedule above, then the upside on the already vested options is restricted to 50% of any uplift between the Exercise Price and the Market Price. 

  

	 	(d)	If an Optionholder’s Service Provider status is terminated by the Company (or other Qualifying Company employing the Optionholder) for cause, as determined in accordance with the laws, de facto governing the
Service Provider’s Service Contract, then, as of the Optionholder’s Termination Date, each outstanding Option held by such individual shall automatically lapse and cease to be exercisable with respect to all of the Option Shares subject to
such Option. 

  

	 	(e)	If the Participant is in breach of the Confidentiality undertaking in Rule 16 the Plan Administrator is entitled to notify such Participant that each outstanding Option held by such individual will lapse and cease to be
exercisable with respect to all of the Option Shares subject to such Option. 

  

	 	(f)	In no event shall any additional Option Shares become exercisable after an Optionholder’s Termination Date. 

Each capitalised term in this Notice shall have the meaning assigned to such term in this Notice or the Plan. 

By executing the attached duplicate of this Notice, the Optionholder confirms his or her acceptance of the Option upon the terms and conditions described
herein. In the event the attached duplicate is not returned to the Company duly executed on or prior to [                    ], the Option shall be

	Number of Option Shares:

	Expiration Date:	  	[date immediately preceding 7-year anniversary of Grant Date], subject to earlier termination in accordance with the Rules of the Plan.

 The Optionholder understands and agrees that the Option is granted subject to and in accordance with the Rules of the Plan and
the Optionholder hereby acknowledges receipt of a copy of such Rules and agrees to be bound by such Rules. 
 The Optionholder further understands and
agrees that each vesting event as outlined in the above schedule may be conditional on achievement of certain agreed performance criteria which if applicable will be communicated to the option holder in conjunction with this Grant of Option. 

 The Plan Administrator shall have the authority, exercisable in its absolute discretion to amend any of the
agreed criteria but not if such amendment results in a more onerous performance measure. This will normally only apply if there is an Act of God or if decisions are made by the Board which have an adverse effect on the achievement of any of the
agreed performance criteria in which instance the amendment will be limited to the direct impact of that specific matter. 
 Subject to Rule 4(f) of the
Plan, the Optionholder further acknowledges that the Option is personal to the Optionholder and may not be transferred, assigned, mortgaged, charged or otherwise disposed of by the Optionholder, that nothing in this Notice or in the Plan shall
confer upon the Optionholder any right to continue in the service or employment of the Company or any Qualifying Company for any period of specific duration and that this Option shall not form part of the terms and conditions of the
Optionholder’s Service Contract with the Company or any Qualifying Company employing him. Accordingly, the Optionholder acknowledges that he or she shall have no right to any compensation arising for the loss of his or her entitlement with
respect to the Option or the Option Shares as a result of the termination of the Optionholder’s status as a Service Provider (for any reason whatsoever). 

Except as the Plan Administrator may otherwise provide at the time the Option is granted or thereafter, or as required to comply with applicable law: 

 

	 	(a)	If the Participant’s employment or service with the Company and its affiliates is terminated by Participant or by the Company for any reason (other than death or disability or by the Company for cause), then
(i) to the extent not yet vested as of the Termination Date, an Option shall immediately be forfeited, and (ii) to the extent vested as of the Termination Date, an Option may be retained and, if applicable, exercised until the earlier of
(A) the date three (3) months (or such longer or shorter period, if any, specified in the applicable Service Agreement or Grant Notice) after the Termination Date or (B) the date such Option would have expired had it not been for the
termination of employment or service, after which time, in either case, such Option shall expire. 

  

	 	(b)	If the Participant’s employment or service with the Company and its Affiliates is terminated by Participant or if he/she has served notice of termination, or by the Company due to Participant’s death or
disability, then (i) to the extent not yet vested as of the Termination Date or at the date of serving of the notice of termination, an Option shall immediately be forfeited, and (ii) to the extent vested as of the Termination Date, an
Option may be retained and, if applicable, exercised until the earlier of (A) the date one (1) year (or such longer or shorter period, if any, specified in the applicable Service Agreement or Grant Notice) after such termination of
employment or service or (B) the date such Option would have expired had it not been for the termination of employment or service, after which time, in either case, such Option shall expire. 

 

	 	(c)	If the Participant’s employment or service with the Company and/or its Affiliates is terminated by the Participant or if he/she has served notice of termination, prior to any specified vesting period as defined in
the Schedule above, then the upside on the already vested options is restricted to 50% of any uplift between the Exercise Price and the Market Price. 

	 	(d)	If an Optionholder’s Service Provider status is terminated by the Company (or other Qualifying Company employing the Optionholder) for cause, as determined in accordance with the laws, de facto governing the
Service Provider’s Service Contract, then, as of the Optionholder’s Termination Date, each outstanding Option held by such individual shall automatically lapse and cease to be exercisable with respect to all of the Option Shares subject to
such Option. 

  

	 	(e)	If the Participant is in breach of the Confidentiality undertaking in Rule 16 the Plan Administrator is entitled to notify such Participant that each outstanding Option held by such individual will lapse and cease to be
exercisable with respect to all of the Option Shares subject to such Option. 

  

	 	(f)	In no event shall any additional Option Shares become exercisable after an Optionholder’s Termination Date. 

Each capitalised term in this Notice shall have the meaning assigned to such term in this Notice or the Plan.

herein. In the event the attached duplicate is not returned to the Company duly executed on or prior to [                    ], the Option shall be
