(f)
to determine the amount, if any, that a Grantee shall pay for Restricted Shares, whether to permit or require the payment of cash dividends

of an Option) shall be forfeited and whether such shares shall be held in escrow;
(g)
to determine whether, to what extent and under 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 accelerated, vested, canceled, forfeited or surrendered or

5
(i)
to offer to exchange or buy out any previously granted Award for a payment in cash, Shares or other Award;

of the Plan;
(k)

adversely affect the rights of the Grantee, or (ii) which is necessary or advisable (as determined by the Committee) to carry out the
purpose of the Award as a result of any new Applicable Law or change in an existing Applicable Law, or (iii) to the extent the Award
Agreement specifically permits amendment without consent;
(n)
to cancel, with the consent of the Grantee, outstanding Awards and to grant new Awards in substitution therefor;
(o)
to impose such additional terms and conditions upon the grant, exercise or retention of Awards as the Committee may, before or concurrently
with the grant thereof, deem appropriate, including limiting the percentage of Awards which may from time to time be exercised by a Grantee;
(p)
to make adjustments in the terms and conditions of, and the criteria in, Awards in recognition of unusual or nonrecurring events (including

of the Plan.
Any
action of the Committee with respect to the Plan shall be final, conclusive and binding on all persons, including the Company, its Subsidiaries,
any Grantee, any person claiming any rights under the Plan from or through any Grantee, and shareholders. If not specified in the Plan,
the time at which the Committee must or may make any determination shall be determined by the Committee, and any such determination may
thereafter be modified by the Committee. The express grant of any specific power to the Committee, and the taking of any action by the
Committee, shall not be construed as limiting any power or authority of the Committee. Subject to Section 3.1(b), the Committee may delegate
to officers of the Company or any Subsidiary the authority, subject to such terms as the Committee shall determine, to perform specified
functions under the Plan.
3.3
No Repricing. Notwithstanding any provision in Section 3.2 to the contrary, the terms of any outstanding Option or SAR may not
be amended to reduce the Exercise Price of such Option or SAR or cancel any outstanding Option or SAR in exchange for other Options or
SARs with an Exercise Price that is less than the Exercise Price of the cancelled Option or SAR or for any cash payment (or Shares having
a Fair Market Value) in an amount that exceeds the excess of the Fair Market Value of the Shares underlying such cancelled Option or
SAR over the aggregate Exercise Price of such Option or SAR or for any other Award, without shareholder approval; provided, however,
that the restrictions set forth in this Section 3.3, shall not apply (i) unless the Company has a class of shares that is registered
under Section 12 of the Exchange Act or (ii) to any adjustment allowed under to Section 4.2.

Article
4.
Shares
Subject to the Plan
4.1
Number of Shares Available for Grants.
(a)
Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4.2 and except as provided in Section 5.6(b), the maximum number of Shares hereby reserved
for issuance under the Plan (including Incentive Share Options) shall be 350,000 Shares.
(b)
If any Shares subject to an Award granted hereunder (other than a Substitute Award granted pursuant to Section 5.6(b)) are forfeited
or such Award otherwise terminates without payment or delivery of such Shares, the Shares subject to such Award, to the extent of any
such forfeiture or termination, shall again be available for grant under the Plan except where otherwise specified hereunder. For avoidance
of doubt, however, if any Shares subject to an Award granted hereunder are withheld or applied as payment in connection with the exercise
of an Award or the withholding or payment of taxes related thereto (“Returned Shares”), such Returned Shares will be treated
as having been delivered for purposes of determining the maximum number of Shares available for grant under the Plan and shall not again
be treated as available for grant under the Plan. Moreover, the number of Shares available for issuance under the Plan may not be increased
through the Company’s purchase of Shares on the open market with the proceeds obtained from the exercise of any Options granted
hereunder. Upon settlement of an SAR, the number of Shares underlying the portion of the SAR that is exercised will be treated as having
been delivered for purposes of determining the maximum number of Shares available for grant under the Plan and shall not again be treated
as available for issuance under the Plan.
(c)
Shares issued pursuant to the Plan may be, in whole or in part, authorized and unissued Shares, or treasury Shares, including Shares
repurchased by the Company for purposes of the Plan. Additionally, at the discretion of the Committee, any Shares distributed pursuant
to an Award may be represented by American Depositary Shares.
4.2
Adjustments in Authorized Shares and Awards; Corporate Transaction, Liquidation or Dissolution.
(a)
Adjustment in Authorized Shares and Awards. In the event that the Committee determines that any dividend or other distribution
(whether in the form of cash, equity, or other property), recapitalization, forward or reverse share split, subdivision, consolidation
or reduction of capital, reorganization, merger, consolidation, scheme of arrangement, split-up, spin-off or combination involving the
Company or repurchase or exchange of Shares or other securities of the Company or other rights to purchase Shares or other securities
of the Company, or other similar corporate transaction or event affects the Shares such that any adjustment is determined by the Committee
to be appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under
the Plan, then the Committee shall, in such manner as it may deem equitable, adjust any or all of (i) the number and type of Shares (or
other securities or property) with respect to which Awards may be granted, (ii) the number and type of Shares (or other securities or
property) subject to outstanding Awards, (iii) the Exercise Price with respect to any Option or SAR or, if deemed appropriate, make provision
for a cash payment to the holder of an outstanding Award, and (iv) the number and kind of Shares of outstanding Restricted Shares, or
the Shares underlying any other form of Award. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such adjustment shall be authorized with respect to
any Options or SARs to the extent that such adjustment would cause the Option or SAR to violate Section 424(a) of the Code or otherwise
subject any Grantee to taxation under Section 409A of the Code; and provided further that the number of Shares subject to any
Award denominated in Shares shall always be a whole number. In the event any such adjustment would result in a fractional Share, such
fractional Share shall be rounded down to the nearest whole Share.
(b)
Merger, Consolidation or Similar Corporate Transaction. In the event of a merger or consolidation of the Company with or into
another entity or a sale of substantially all of the Shares of the Company (a “Corporate Transaction”), any outstanding Awards
that have not yet vested as of the consummation of such Corporate Transaction shall immediately accelerate and vest in full.
7
(c)
Liquidation, Winding-Up or Dissolution of the Company. In the event of the proposed liquidation, winding-up or dissolution of
the Company, each Award will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed action, unless otherwise provided by the
Committee. Additionally, the Committee may, in the exercise of its sole discretion, cause Awards to be vested and non-forfeitable and
cause any conditions on any such Award to lapse, as to all or any part of such Award, including Shares as to which the Award would not
otherwise be exercisable or non-forfeitable and allow all Grantees to exercise such Awards of Options and SARs within a reasonable period
prior to the consummation of such proposed action. Any Awards that remain unexercised upon consummation of such proposed action shall
be cancelled.
4.3
Evergreen Provision. On January 1 of each year beginning in 2027 and ending in (and including) 2036, the number of Shares reserved
under the Plan will be automatically increased by an amount equal to the lesser of:
(i)
5% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on December 31 of the immediately preceding year; or
(ii)
such other number determined by the Board.
4.4
Adjustments. In the event of stock splits, reverse stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations or other corporate reorganizations
or similar events, the number of shares subject to the evergreen provision shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect such events.
Article
5.
Eligibility
and General Conditions of Awards
5.1
Eligibility. The Committee may in its discretion grant Awards to any Eligible Person, whether or not he or she has previously
received an Award; provided, however, that all Awards made to Non-Employee Directors shall be determined by the Board in its sole discretion.
5.2
Award Agreement. To the extent not set forth in the Plan, the terms and conditions of each Award shall be set forth in an Award
Agreement.
5.3
General Terms and Termination of Affiliation. The Committee may impose on any Award or the exercise or settlement thereof, at
the date of grant or, subject to the provisions of Section 15.2, thereafter, such additional terms and conditions not inconsistent with
the provisions of the Plan as the Committee shall determine, including terms requiring forfeiture, acceleration or pro-rata acceleration
of Awards in the event of a Termination of Affiliation by the Grantee. Awards may be granted for no consideration other than prior and
future services. Except as set forth in an Award Agreement or as otherwise determined by the Committee, (a) all Options and SARs that
are not vested and exercisable at the time of a Grantee’s Termination of Affiliation, and any other Awards that remain subject
to a risk of forfeiture or which are not otherwise vested at the time of the Grantee’s Termination of Affiliation shall be forfeited
to the Company and (b) all outstanding Options and SARs not previously exercised shall expire three months after the Grantee’s
Termination of Affiliation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may not take any actions hereunder, and no Awards shall be granted,
that would violate any Applicable Law.
5.4
Non-transferability of Awards.
(a)
Each Award and each right under any Award shall be exercisable only by the Grantee during the Grantee’s lifetime, or, if permissible
under Applicable Law, by the Grantee’s guardian or legal representative.
(b)
No Award (prior to the time, if applicable, Shares are delivered in respect of such Award), and no right under any Award, may be assigned,
alienated, pledged, mortgaged, encumbered, attached, sold or otherwise transferred or encumbered by a Grantee otherwise than by will
or by the laws of descent and distribution (or in the case of Restricted Shares, to the Company), and any such purported assignment,
alienation, pledge, attachment, sale, transfer or encumbrance shall be void and unenforceable against the Company or any Subsidiary;
provided that the designation of a beneficiary to receive benefits in the event of the Grantee’s death shall not constitute an
assignment, alienation, pledge, attachment, sale, transfer or encumbrance.
8
(c)
Notwithstanding subsections (a) and (b) above, to the extent provided in the Award Agreement or as otherwise approved by the Committee,
Options (other than Incentive Share Options) and Restricted Shares, may be transferred, without consideration, to a Permitted Transferee.
For this purpose, a “Permitted Transferee” in respect of any Grantee means any member of the Immediate Family of such Grantee,
any trust of which all of the primary beneficiaries are such Grantee or members of his or her Immediate Family, or any partnership (including
limited liability companies and similar entities) of which all of the partners or members are such Grantee or members of his or her Immediate
Family; and the “Immediate Family” of a Grantee means the Grantee’s spouse, children, stepchildren, grandchildren,
parents, stepparents, siblings, grandparents, nieces and nephews. Such Option may be exercised by such transferee in accordance with
the terms of the Award Agreement. If so determined by the Committee, a Grantee may, in the manner established by the Committee, designate
a beneficiary or beneficiaries to exercise the rights of the Grantee, and to receive any distribution with respect to any Award upon
the death of the Grantee. A transferee, beneficiary, guardian, legal representative or other person claiming any rights under the Plan
from or through any Grantee shall be subject to and consistent with the provisions of the Plan and any applicable Award Agreement, except
to the extent the Plan and Award Agreement otherwise provide with respect to such persons, and to any additional restrictions or limitations
deemed necessary or appropriate by the Committee.
5.5
Cancellation and Rescission of Awards. Unless the Award Agreement specifies otherwise, the Committee may cancel, rescind, suspend,
withhold, or otherwise limit or restrict any unexercised Award at any time if the Grantee is not in compliance with all applicable provisions
of the Award Agreement and the Plan or if the Grantee has a Termination of Affiliation.
5.6
Stand-Alone, Tandem and Substitute Awards.
(a)
Awards granted under the Plan may, in the discretion of the Committee, be granted either alone or in addition to, in tandem with, or
in substitution for, any other Award granted under the Plan unless such tandem or substitution Award would subject the Grantee to tax
penalties imposed under Section 409A of the Code. If an Award is granted in substitution for another Award or any non-Plan award or benefit,
the Committee shall require the surrender of such other Award or non-Plan award or benefit in consideration for the grant of the new
Award. Awards granted in addition to or in tandem with other Awards or non-Plan awards or benefits may be granted either at the same
time as or at a different time from the grant of such other Awards or non-Plan awards or benefits; provided, however, that if any SAR
is granted in tandem with an Incentive Share Option, such SAR and Incentive Share Option must have the same Grant Date, Term and the
Exercise Price of the SAR may not be less than the Exercise Price of the Incentive Share Option.
(b)
The Committee may, in its discretion and on such terms and conditions as the Committee considers appropriate in the circumstances, grant
Awards under the Plan (“Substitute Awards”) in substitution for Shares and Share-based awards (“Acquired Entity Awards”)
held by current or former employees or non-employee directors of, or Consultants to, another corporation or entity who become Eligible
Persons as the result of a merger or consolidation of the employing corporation or other entity (the “Acquired Entity”) with
the Company or a Subsidiary or the acquisition by the Company or a Subsidiary of property or shares of the Acquired Entity immediately
prior to such merger, consolidation or acquisition in order to preserve for the Grantee the economic value of all or a portion of such
Acquired Entity Award at such price as the Committee determines necessary to achieve preservation of economic value. The limitations
in Section 4.1(a) on the number of Shares reserved or available for grants shall not apply to Substitute Awards granted under this Section
5.6(b).
5.7
Compliance with Rule 16b-3.
(a)
Six-Month Holding Period Advice. The provisions of this Section 5.7 shall apply only to Section 16 Persons. Unless a Grantee who
is a Section 16 Person could otherwise dispose of or exercise a derivative security or dispose of Shares issued under the Plan without
incurring liability under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, the Committee may advise or require such Grantee to comply with the following
in order to avoid incurring liability under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act: (i) at least six months must elapse from the date of acquisition
of a derivative security under the Plan to the date of disposition of the derivative security (other than upon exercise or conversion)
or its underlying equity security, and (ii) Shares granted or awarded under the Plan other than upon exercise or conversion of a derivative
security must be held for at least six months from the date of grant of an Award.
9
(b)
Reformation to Comply with Exchange Act Rules. To the extent the Committee determines that a grant or other transaction by a Section
16 Person should comply with applicable provisions of Rule 16b-3 (except for transactions exempted under alternative Exchange Act rules),
the Committee shall take such actions as necessary to make such grant or other transaction so comply, and if any provision of this Plan
or any Award Agreement relating to a given Award does not comply with the requirements of Rule 16b-3 as then applicable to any such grant
or transaction, such provision will be construed or deemed amended, if the Committee so determines, to the extent necessary to conform
to the then applicable requirements of Rule 16b-3.
(c)
Rule 16b-3 Administration. Any function relating to a Section 16 Person shall be performed solely by the Committee or the Board
if necessary to ensure compliance with applicable requirements of Rule 16b-3, to the extent the Committee determines that such compliance
is desired. Each member of the Committee or person acting on behalf of the Committee shall be entitled to, in good faith, rely or act
upon any report or other information furnished to him by any officer, manager or other employee of the Company or any Subsidiary, the
Company’s independent certified public accountants or any executive compensation consultant or attorney or other professional retained
by the Company to assist in the administration of the Plan.
5.8
Deferral of Award Payouts. The Committee may permit a Grantee to defer, or if and to the extent specified in an Award Agreement
require the Grantee to defer, receipt of the payment of cash or the delivery of Shares that would otherwise be due by virtue of the lapse
or waiver of restrictions with respect to Restricted Share Units, the satisfaction of any requirements or goals with respect to Performance
Share Units or Performance Shares, the lapse or waiver of the deferral period for Deferred Shares, or the lapse or waiver of restrictions
with respect to Other Share-Based Awards or Cash Incentive Awards. If the Committee permits such deferrals, the Committee shall establish
rules and procedures for making such deferral elections and for the payment of such deferrals. Except as otherwise provided in an Award
Agreement, any payment or any Shares that are subject to such deferral shall be made or delivered to the Grantee as specified in the
Award Agreement or pursuant to the Grantee’s deferral election.

Share
Options

Grant of Options. Subject to and consistent with the provisions of the Plan, Options may be granted to any Eligible Person in
such number, and upon such terms, and at any time and from time to time as shall be determined by the Committee.
6.2
Award Agreement. Each Option grant shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement that shall specify the Exercise Price, the Term of
the Option, the number of Shares to which the Option pertains, the time or times at which such Option shall be exercisable and such other
provisions as the Committee shall determine.
6.3
Option Exercise Price. The Exercise Price of an Option under this Plan shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Committee
but may not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the Grant Date.
6.4
Grant of Incentive Share Options. At the time of the grant of any Option, the Committee may in its discretion designate that such
Option shall be made subject to additional restrictions to permit it to qualify as an Incentive Share Option. Any Option designated as
an Incentive Share Option:
(a)
shall be granted only to an employee of the Company or a Subsidiary;
10
(b)
shall have an Exercise Price of not less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the Grant Date, and, if granted to a person
who owns Shares (including Shares treated as owned under Section 424(d) of the Code) possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting
power of all classes of shares of the Company or any Subsidiary (a “More Than 10% Owner”), have an Exercise Price not less
than 110% of the Fair Market Value of a Share on its Grant Date;
(c)
shall be for a period of not more than 10 years (five years if the Grantee is a More Than 10% Owner) from its Grant Date, and shall be
subject to earlier termination as provided herein or in the applicable Award Agreement;
(d)
shall not have an aggregate Fair Market Value (as of the Grant Date) of the Shares with respect to which Incentive Share Options (whether
granted under the Plan or any other share option plan of the Grantee’s employer or any parent or Subsidiary (“Other Plans”))
are exercisable for the first time by such Grantee during any calendar year (“Current Grant”), determined in accordance with
the provisions of Section 422 of the Code, which exceeds US$100,000 (the “$100,000 Limit”);
(e)
shall, if the aggregate Fair Market Value of the Shares (determined on the Grant Date) with respect to the Current Grant and all Incentive
Share Options previously granted under the Plan and any Other Plans which are exercisable for the first time during a calendar year (“Prior
Grants”) would exceed the $100,000 Limit, be, as to the portion in excess of the $100,000 Limit, exercisable as a separate option
that is not an Incentive Share Option at such date or dates as are provided in the Current Grant;
(f)
shall require the Grantee to notify the Committee of any disposition of any Shares issued pursuant to the exercise of the Incentive Share
Option under the circumstances described in Section 421(b) of the Code (relating to holding periods and certain disqualifying dispositions)
(“Disqualifying Disposition”) within 10 days of such a Disqualifying Disposition;
(g)
shall by its terms not be assignable or transferable other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution and may be exercised,
during the Grantee’s lifetime, only by the Grantee; provided, however, that the Grantee may, to the extent provided in the Plan
in any manner specified by the Committee, designate in writing a beneficiary to exercise his or her Incentive Share Option after the
Grantee’s death; and
(h)
shall, if such Option nevertheless fails to meet the foregoing requirements, or otherwise fails to meet the requirements of Section 422
of the Code for an Incentive Share Option, be treated for all purposes of this Plan, except as otherwise provided in subsections (d)
and (e) above, as an Option that is not an Incentive Share Option.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing and Section 3.2, the Committee may, without the consent of the Grantee, at any time before the exercise of an Option (whether
or not an Incentive Share Option), take any action necessary to prevent such Option from being treated as an Incentive Share Option.
6.5
Payment of Exercise Price. Except as otherwise provided in an Award Agreement, Options shall be exercised by the delivery of a
written notice of exercise to the Company, setting forth the number of Shares with respect to which the Option is to be exercised, accompanied
by full payment for the Shares made by any one or more of the following means:
(a)
cash, personal check or wire transfer;
(b)
with the approval of the Committee, delivery of Shares owned by the Grantee prior to exercise, valued at Fair Market Value on the date
of exercise;
(c)
with the approval of the Committee, Shares acquired upon the exercise of such Option, such Shares valued at Fair Market Value on the
date of exercise;
(d)
with the approval of the Committee, Restricted Shares held by the Grantee prior to the exercise of the Option, valued at Fair Market
Value on the date of exercise; or
11
(e)
subject to Applicable Law (including the prohibited loan provisions of Section 402 of the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002 if applicable),
through the sale of the Shares acquired on exercise of the Option through a broker-dealer to whom the Grantee has submitted an irrevocable
notice of exercise and irrevocable instructions to deliver promptly to the Company the amount of sale proceeds sufficient to pay for
such Shares, together with, if requested by the Company, the amount of federal, state, local or foreign withholding taxes payable by
Grantee by reason of such exercise.
The
Committee may in its discretion specify that, if any Restricted Shares (“Tendered Restricted Shares”) are used to pay the
Exercise Price, (x) all the Shares acquired on exercise of the Option shall be subject to the same restrictions as the Tendered Restricted
Shares, determined as of the date of exercise of the Option, or (y) a number of Shares acquired on exercise of the Option equal to the
number of Tendered Restricted Shares shall be subject to the same restrictions as the Tendered Restricted Shares, determined as of the
date of exercise of the Option.

Issuance. Subject to and consistent with the provisions of the Plan, the Committee, at any time and from time to time, may grant
SARs to any Eligible Person either alone or in addition to other Awards granted under the Plan. Such SARs may, but need not, be granted
in connection with a specific Option granted under Article 6. The Committee may impose such conditions or restrictions on the exercise
of any SAR as it shall deem appropriate.
7.2
Award Agreement. Each SAR grant shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement in such form as the Committee may approve and shall contain
such terms and conditions not inconsistent with other provisions of the Plan as shall be determined from time to time by the Committee.
7.3
SAR Exercise Price. The Exercise Price of an SAR shall be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion; provided that the
Exercise Price shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of the grant of the SAR.
7.4
Exercise and Payment. Upon the exercise of an SAR, a Grantee shall be entitled to receive payment from the Company in an amount
determined by multiplying:
(a)
The excess of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of exercise over the Exercise Price; by
(b)
The number of Shares with respect to which the SAR is exercised.
SARs
shall be deemed exercised on the date written notice of exercise in a form acceptable to the Committee is received by the Company. The
Company shall make payment in respect of any SAR within five (5) days of the date the SAR is exercised. Any payment by the Company in
respect of a SAR may be made in cash, Shares, other property, or any combination thereof, as the Committee, in its sole discretion, shall
determine or, to the extent permitted under the terms of the applicable Award Agreement, at the election of the Grantee.

such conditions and/or restrictions on any Restricted Shares granted pursuant to the Plan as it may deem advisable, including restrictions
based upon the achievement of specific performance goals, time-based restrictions on vesting following the attainment of the performance
goals, and/or restrictions under applicable securities laws; provided that such conditions and/or restrictions may lapse, if so determined
by the Committee, in the event of the Grantee’s Termination of Affiliation due to death, Disability, or involuntary termination
by the Company or a Subsidiary without Cause.

8.3
Consideration for Restricted Shares. The Committee shall determine the amount, if any, that a Grantee shall pay for Restricted
Shares.
8.4
Effect of Forfeiture. If Restricted Shares are forfeited, and if the Grantee was required to pay for such shares or acquired such
Restricted Shares upon the exercise of an Option, the Grantee shall be deemed to have resold such Restricted Shares to the Company at
a price equal to the lesser of (x) the amount paid by the Grantee for such Restricted Shares, or (y) the Fair Market Value of a Share
on the date of such forfeiture. The Company shall pay to the Grantee the deemed sale price as soon as is administratively practical.
Such Restricted Shares shall cease to be outstanding and shall no longer confer on the Grantee thereof any rights as a shareholder of
the Company, from and after the date of the event causing the forfeiture, whether or not the Grantee accepts the Company’s tender
of payment for such Restricted Shares.
8.5
Escrow; Legends. The Committee may provide that the certificates (if any) for any Restricted Shares (x) shall be held (together
with a share transfer power executed in blank by the Grantee) in escrow by the Company until such Restricted Shares become non-forfeitable

Restricted Shares become non-forfeitable, the Company shall cause certificates (if any) for such shares to be delivered without such
legend.

Earning of Performance Share Units and Performance Shares.
(a)
After the applicable Performance Period has ended, the holder of Performance Units or Performance Shares shall be entitled to payment
based on the level of achievement of performance goals set by the Committee. In determining the actual amount of an individual Grantee’s
performance compensation Award for a Performance Period, the Committee may reduce or eliminate the amount of the performance compensation
Award earned during the Performance Period through the use of negative discretion if, in its sole judgment, such reduction or elimination
is appropriate. The Committee shall not have the discretion, except as is otherwise provided in this Plan, to (A) grant or provide payment
in respect of performance compensation Awards for a Performance Period if the performance goals for such Performance Period have not
been attained; or (B) increase a performance compensation Award above the applicable overall share issuance limitations set forth in
this Plan.
13
(b)
The performance criteria that will be used to establish the performance goal(s) required to be achieved for the vesting of Performance
Share Units or Performance Shares shall be based on the attainment of specific levels of performance of the Company and/or one or more
Affiliates, divisions or operational units, or any combination of the foregoing, as determined by the Committee, which criteria will
be based on one or more of the following business criteria or any combination thereof: (i) revenue; (ii) sales; (iii) profit (net profit,
gross profit, operating profit, economic profit, profit margins or other corporate profit measures); (iv) earnings (EBIT, EBITDA, earnings
per share, or other corporate earnings measures); (v) net income (before or after taxes, operating income or other income measures);
(vi) cash (cash flow, cash generation or other cash measures); (vii) share price or performance; (viii) total shareholder return (share
price appreciation plus reinvested dividends divided by beginning share price); (ix) economic value added; (x) return measures (including,
but not limited to, return on assets, capital, equity, investments or sales, and cash flow return on assets, capital, equity, or sales);
(xi) market share; (xii) improvements in capital structure; (xiii) expenses (expense management, expense ratio, expense efficiency ratios
or other expense measures); (xiv) business expansion or consolidation (acquisitions and divestitures); (xv) internal rate of return or
increase in net present value; (xvi) working capital targets relating to inventory and/or accounts receivable; (xvii) inventory management;
(xviii) service or product delivery or quality; (xix) employee retention; (xx) safety standards; (xxi) productivity measures; (xxii)
cost reduction measures; and/or (xxiii) strategic plan development and implementation.
(c)
At the discretion of the Committee, the settlement of Performance Share Units or Performance Shares may be in cash, Shares of equivalent
value, or in some combination thereof, as set forth in the Award Agreement.
(d)
If a Grantee is promoted, demoted or transferred to a different business unit of the Company during a Performance Period, then, to the
extent the Committee determines that the Award, the performance goals, or the Performance Period are no longer appropriate, the Committee
may adjust, change, eliminate or cancel the Award, the performance goals, or the applicable Performance Period, as it deems appropriate
in order to make them appropriate and comparable to the initial Award, the performance goals, or the Performance Period.
(e)
At the discretion of the Committee, a Grantee may be entitled to receive any dividends or Dividend Equivalents declared with respect
to Shares issuable in connection with vested Performance Shares which have been earned, but not yet issued to the Grantee.

which it relates; provided, however, that any Dividend Equivalents granted in conjunction with any Award that is subject to forfeiture
conditions shall remain subject to the same forfeiture conditions applicable to the Award to which such Dividend Equivalents relate and

suspend, discontinue or terminate the Plan in whole or in part without the approval of the Company’s shareholders, except that
(a) any amendment or alteration shall be subject to the approval of the Company’s shareholders if such shareholder approval is
required by any federal or state law or regulation or the rules of any stock exchange or automated quotation system on which the Shares
may then be listed or quoted, and (b) the Board may otherwise, in its discretion, determine to submit other such amendments or alterations
to shareholders for approval.
15.2

Compliance
with Code Section 409A
The
Plan and all Awards granted hereunder are intended to comply with, or otherwise be exempt from, the requirements of Section 409A of the
Code. The Plan and all Awards granted under this Plan shall be administered, interpreted, and construed in a manner consistent with Section
409A of the Code to the extent necessary to avoid the imposition of additional taxes under Section 409A(a)(1)(B) of the Code. To the
extent that the Committee determines that any Award is subject to Section 409A of the Code, the Award Agreement evidencing such Award
shall incorporate the terms and conditions required by Section 409A of the Code. To the extent applicable, the Plan and Award Agreements
shall be interpreted in accordance with Section 409A of the Code and U.S. Department of Treasury regulations and other interpretive guidance
issued thereunder. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan or any Award Agreement to the contrary, if the Committee determines that
any Award may be subject to Section 409A of the Code, the Committee may adopt such amendments to the Plan and each applicable Award Agreement
as the Committee determines necessary or appropriate to (a) exempt the Award from Section 409A of the Code, or (b) comply with the requirements
of Section 409A of the Code and related U.S. Department of Treasury guidance.
Article
17.
Withholding
17.1
Required Withholding.
(a)
The Committee in its sole discretion may provide that when taxes under any Applicable Law are to be withheld in connection with the exercise
of an Option or SAR, or upon the lapse of restrictions on Restricted Shares, or upon the transfer of Shares, or upon payment of any other
benefit or right under this Plan (the date on which such exercise occurs or such restrictions lapse or such payment of any other benefit
or right occurs hereinafter referred to as the “Tax Date”), the Grantee may elect to make payment for the withholding of
taxes under Applicable Law, including without limitation United States federal, state and local taxes, including Social Security and
Medicare (“FICA”) taxes, by one or a combination of the following methods:
(i)
payment of an amount in cash equal to the amount to be withheld (including cash obtained through the sale of the Shares acquired on exercise
of an Option or SAR, upon the lapse of restrictions on Restricted Shares, or upon the transfer of Shares, through a broker-dealer to
whom the Grantee has submitted an irrevocable instructions to deliver promptly to the Company, the amount to be withheld);
(ii)
delivering part or all of the amount to be withheld in the form of Shares valued at its Fair Market Value on the Tax Date;
(iii)
requesting the Company to withhold from those Shares that would otherwise be received upon exercise of the Option or SAR, upon the lapse
of restrictions on Restricted Shares, or upon the transfer of Shares, a number of Shares having a Fair Market Value on the Tax Date equal
to the amount to be withheld; or
16
(iv)
withholding from any compensation otherwise due to the Grantee.
The
Committee shall provide that the amount of tax withholding upon exercise of an Option or SARs, upon the lapse of restrictions on Restricted
Shares, or upon the transfer of Shares, to be satisfied by withholding Shares upon exercise of such Option or SAR, upon the lapse of
restrictions on Restricted Shares, or upon the transfer of Shares, pursuant to clause (iii) above shall not exceed the maximum amount
of taxes, including FICA taxes, required to be withheld under federal, state and local law. An election by Grantee under this subsection
is irrevocable. Any fractional share amount and any additional withholding not paid by the withholding or surrender of Shares must be
paid in cash. If no timely election is made, the Grantee must deliver cash to satisfy all tax withholding requirements.
(b)
Any Grantee who makes a Disqualifying Disposition (as defined in Section 6.4(f)) or an election under Section 83(b) of the Code shall
remit to the Company an amount sufficient to satisfy all resulting tax withholding requirements in the same manner as set forth in subsection
(a).
17.2
Notification under Code Section 83(b). If the Grantee, in connection with the exercise of any Option, or the grant of Restricted
Shares, makes the election permitted under Section 83(b) of the Code to include in such Grantee’s gross income in the year of transfer
the amounts specified in Section 83(b) of the Code, then such Grantee shall notify the Company of such election within 10 days of filing
the notice of the election with the Internal Revenue Service, in addition to any filing and notification required pursuant to regulations
issued under Section 83(b) of the Code. The Committee may, in connection with the grant of an Award or at any time thereafter, prohibit
a Grantee from making the election described above.
Article
18.
Additional
Provisions
18.1
Successors. Subject to Section 4.2(b), all obligations of the Company under the Plan with respect to Awards granted hereunder
shall be binding on any successor to the Company, whether the existence of such successor is the result of a direct or indirect purchase,
merger, consolidation, or otherwise of all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company.
18.2
Severability. If any part of the Plan is declared by any court or governmental authority to be unlawful or invalid, such unlawfulness
or invalidity shall not invalidate any other part of the Plan. Any Section or part of a Section so declared to be unlawful or invalid
shall, if possible, be construed in a manner which will give effect to the terms of such Section or part of a Section to the fullest
extent possible while remaining lawful and valid.
18.3
Requirements of Law. The granting of Awards and the delivery of Shares under the Plan shall be subject to all Applicable Law,
rules, and regulations, and to such approvals by any governmental agencies or national securities exchanges as may be required. Notwithstanding
any provision of the Plan or any Award, Grantees shall not be entitled to exercise, or receive benefits under, any Award, and the Company
(and any Subsidiary) shall not be obligated to deliver any Shares or deliver benefits to a Grantee, if such exercise or delivery would
constitute a violation by the Grantee or the Company of any Applicable Law or regulation.
18.4
Securities Law Compliance.
(a)
If the Committee deems it necessary to comply with any applicable securities law, or the requirements of any stock exchange upon which
Shares may be listed, the Committee may impose any restriction on Awards or Shares acquired pursuant to Awards under the Plan as it may
deem advisable. In addition, if requested by the Company and any underwriter engaged by the Company, Shares acquired pursuant to Awards
may not be sold or otherwise transferred or disposed of for such period following the effective date of any registration statement of
the Company filed under the Securities Act as the Company or such underwriter shall specify reasonably and in good faith, not to exceed
180 days in the case of the Company’s initial public offering or 90 days in the case of any other public offering. All certificates
(if any) for Shares issued under the Plan pursuant to any Award or the exercise thereof shall be subject to such stop transfer orders
and other restrictions as the Committee may deem advisable under the rules, regulations and other requirements of the SEC, any stock
exchange upon which Shares are then listed, any applicable securities law, and the Committee may cause a legend or legends to be put
on any such certificates (if any) to make appropriate reference to such restrictions. If so requested by the Company, the Grantee shall
make a written representation to the Company that he or she will not sell or offer to sell any Shares unless a registration statement
shall be in effect with respect to such Shares under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and any applicable state securities law
or unless he or she shall have furnished to the Company, in form and substance satisfactory to the Company, that such registration is
not required.
17
(b)
If the Committee determines that the exercise or non-forfeitability of, or delivery of benefits pursuant to, any Award would violate
any applicable provision of securities laws or the listing requirements of any national securities exchange or national market system
on which are listed any of the Company’s equity securities, then the Committee may postpone any such exercise, non-forfeitability
or delivery, as applicable, but the Company shall use all reasonable efforts to cause such exercise, non-forfeitability or delivery to
comply with all such provisions at the earliest practicable date.
18.5
Forfeiture Events. Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the contrary, the Committee shall have the authority to provide in
any Award Agreement that a Grantee’s (including his or her estate’s, beneficiary’s or transferee’s) rights (including
the right to exercise any Option or SAR), payments and benefits with respect to any Award shall be subject to reduction, cancellation,
forfeiture or recoupment (to the extent permitted by Applicable Law) in the event of the Participant’s termination for Cause; serious
misconduct; violation of the Company’s or a Subsidiary’s policies; breach of fiduciary duty; unauthorized disclosure of any
trade secret or confidential information of the Company or a Subsidiary; breach of applicable non-competition, non-solicitation, confidentiality
or other restrictive covenants; or other conduct or activity that is in competition with the business of the Company or a Subsidiary,
or otherwise detrimental to the business, reputation or interests of the Company and/or a Subsidiary; or upon the occurrence of certain
events specified in the applicable Award Agreement (in any such case, whether or not the Grantee is then an Employee or Non-Employee
Director). The determination of whether a Grantee’s conduct, activities or circumstances are described in the immediately preceding
sentence shall be made by the Committee in its discretion, and pending any such determination, the Committee shall have the authority
to suspend the exercise, payment, delivery or settlement of all or any portion of such Grantee’s outstanding Awards pending any
investigation of the matter.
18.6
No Rights as a Shareholder. No Grantee shall have any rights as a shareholder of the Company with respect to the Shares (other
than Restricted Shares) which may be deliverable upon exercise or payment of such Award until such Shares have been delivered to him
or her. Restricted Shares, whether held by a Grantee or in escrow by the Company, shall confer on the Grantee all rights of a shareholder
of the Company, except as otherwise provided in the Plan or Award Agreement. At the time of a grant of Restricted Shares, the Committee
may require the payment of cash dividends thereon to be deferred and, if the Committee so determines, reinvested in additional Restricted
Shares. Share dividends and deferred cash dividends issued with respect to Restricted Shares shall be subject to the same restrictions
and other terms as apply to the Restricted Shares with respect to which such dividends are issued. The Committee may in its discretion
provide for payment of interest on deferred cash dividends.
18.7
Nature of Payments. Unless otherwise specified in the Award Agreement, Awards shall be special incentive payments to the Grantee
and shall not be taken into account in computing the amount of salary or compensation of the Grantee for purposes of determining any
pension, retirement, death or other benefit under (a) any pension, retirement, profit sharing, bonus, insurance or other employee benefit
plan of the Company or any Subsidiary, except as such plan shall otherwise expressly provide, or (b) any agreement between (i) the Company
or any Subsidiary and (ii) the Grantee, except as such agreement shall otherwise expressly provide.
18.8
Non-Exclusivity of Plan. Neither the adoption of the Plan by the Board nor its submission to the shareholders of the Company for
approval shall be construed as creating any limitations on the power of the Board to adopt such other compensatory arrangements for employees
or Non-Employee Directors as it may deem desirable.
18.9
Governing Law. The Plan is governed by and construed in accordance with, the laws of Delaware. The courts of New York and the
courts of appeal from them shall have non-exclusive jurisdiction to determine any disputes which may arise out of or in connection with
this Plan, accordingly, any legal action or proceedings arising out of or in connection with this Plan may be brought in those courts,
but without prejudice to the right of the Company or any Grantee to bring proceedings in any other appropriate jurisdiction.
18
18.10
Unfunded Status of Awards; Creation of Trusts. The Plan is intended to constitute an “unfunded” plan for incentive
and deferred compensation. With respect to any payments not yet made to a Grantee pursuant to an Award, nothing contained in the Plan
or any Award Agreement shall give any such Grantee any rights that are greater than those of a general creditor of the Company; provided,
however, that the Committee may authorize the creation of trusts or make other arrangements to meet the Company’s obligations under
the Plan to deliver cash, Shares or other property pursuant to any Award which trusts or other arrangements shall be consistent with
the “unfunded” status of the Plan unless the Committee otherwise determines.
18.11
Affiliation. Nothing in the Plan or an Award Agreement shall interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company or any
Subsidiary to terminate any Grantee’s employment or consulting contract at any time, nor confer upon any Grantee the right to continue
in the employ of or as an officer of or as a Consultant to or Non-Employee Director of the Company or any Subsidiary.
18.12
Participation. No employee or officer shall have the right to be selected to receive an Award under this Plan or, having been
so selected, to be selected to receive a future Award.
18.13
Construction. The following rules of construction will apply to the Plan: (a) the word “or” is disjunctive but not
necessarily exclusive, (b) “including” (and with correlative meaning “include”) means including without limiting
the generality of any description preceding or succeeding such term and shall be deemed in each case to be followed by the words “without
limitation”, and (c) words in the singular include the plural, words in the plural include the singular, and words in the neuter
gender include the masculine and feminine genders and words in the masculine or feminine gender include the other neuter genders.
18.14
Headings. The headings of articles and sections are included solely for convenience of reference, and if there is any conflict
between such headings and the text of this Plan, the text shall control.
18.15
Obligations. Unless otherwise specified in the Award Agreement, the obligation to deliver, pay or transfer any amount of money
or other property pursuant to Awards under this Plan shall be the sole obligation of a Grantee’s employer; provided that the obligation
to deliver or transfer any Shares pursuant to Awards under this Plan shall be the sole obligation of the Company.
18.16
No Right to Continue as Director. Nothing in the Plan or any Award Agreement shall confer upon any Non-Employee Director the right
to continue to serve as a director of the Company.
18.17
Shareholder Approval. The Plan is expressly conditioned upon approval by the Company’s shareholders. In the event that the
Company’s shareholders do not approve the Plan, the Plan shall be void and any Awards granted prior to the date of shareholder
approval shall be automatically cancelled and of no effect. All Incentive Share Options granted on or after the date the Board adopts
the Plan and prior to the date the Company’s shareholders approve the Plan are expressly conditioned upon and subject to approval
of the Plan by the Company’s shareholders.
18.18
Forfeiture of Shares. Any forfeiture of Shares described in this Plan will take effect as a surrender for no consideration of
such Shares as a matter of Delaware law.
18.19
Share Issuances. The allotment and issuance of Shares pursuant to the terms of this Plan following the exercise of an Option shall
be subject to the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association of the Company. Shares shall not in fact be allotted and
issued (or repurchased or forfeited) until the time at which the Grantee’s name (and number of Shares to be allotted and issued)
is entered on the Company’s Register of Members (or the existing entry is updated to reflect the repurchase or forfeiture) (the
register being prima facie evidence of legal title to Shares).
18.20
No Dividends on Unvested Awards. Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, in no event shall the Board or the Committee
approve the payment of any dividend by the Company on unvested Awards.
