3.

Shares Subject to the Plan.

     
a.

Shares Subject to the Plan. Subject to the provisions of Section 13, the maximum aggregate number of Shares that may be issued under the Plan is three million (3,000,000) Shares.

     
b.

Lapsed Awards. If an Award expires or becomes unexercisable without having been exercised in full or, with respect to Restricted Shares, Restricted Share Units, Performance Shares or Performance Units, is forfeited in whole or in part to the Company, the unpurchased, forfeited or unissued Shares (as the case may be) which were subject to the Award will become available for future grant or sale under the Plan (unless the Plan has terminated).

4.

Administration of the Plan.

If and so long as the ordinary shares are registered under Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act, the Board shall consider in selecting the Administrator and the membership of any committee acting as Administrator the requirements regarding: (i) “nonemployee directors” within the meaning of Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act; (ii) “independent directors” as described in the listing requirements for any share exchange on which Shares are listed; and (iii) Section 15(b)(i) of the Plan, if the Company grants any Qualified Performance-Based Award.

Committee members shall serve for such term as the Board may determine, subject to removal by the Board at any time.

       
b.

Powers of the Administrator. Subject to the provisions of the Plan and the approval of any relevant authorities, and in the case of a Committee, subject to the specific duties delegated by the Board to such Committee, the Administrator will have the authority, in its discretion:

       
i.

to determine the Fair Market Value;

       
ii.

to select the Service Providers to whom Awards may be granted hereunder;

       
iii.

to determine the type of Award and number of Shares to be covered by each Award granted hereunder;

       
iv.

to approve forms of agreement for use under the Plan;

       
v.

to determine the terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, of any Award granted hereunder. Such terms and conditions include, but are not limited to, the exercise price, the time or times when Awards may be exercised (which may be based on continued employment, continued service or performance criteria), any vesting acceleration (whether by reason of a Change of Control or otherwise) or waiver of forfeiture, and any restriction or limitation regarding any Award or the Shares relating thereto, based in each case on such factors as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, will determine;




  vi.

to construe and interpret the terms of the Plan and Awards granted pursuant to the Plan, including the right to construe disputed or doubtful Plan and Award provisions;

     
  vii.

to prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to the Plan;

     
  viii.

to modify or amend each Award to the extent any modification or amendment is consistent with the terms of the Plan, and does not materially impair the rights of any Participant unless mutually agreed otherwise between the Participant and the Administrator, which agreement must be in writing and signed by the Participant and the Company;

     
  ix.

to allow Participants to satisfy withholding tax obligations in such manner as prescribed in Section 14;

     
  x.

to authorize any person to execute on behalf of the Company any instrument required to effect the grant of an Award previously granted by the Administrator;

     
  xi.

to delay issuance of Shares or suspend Participant’s right to exercise an Award as deemed necessary to comply with Applicable Laws;

     
  xii

to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws, to delegate, as it may deem appropriate, to one or more executive officers of the Company the authority to grant Awards to Service Providers who are not Officers and Directors, and exercise such other powers under the Plan as the Administrator may determine, in accordance with such guidelines as the Administrator shall set forth at any time or from time to time; and

     
  xiii.

to make all other determinations deemed necessary or advisable for administering the Plan.


c.

Effect of Administrator's Decision. The Administrator’s decisions, determinations and interpretations will be final and binding on all Participants and any other holders of Awards. Any decision or action taken or to be taken by the Administrator, arising out of or in connection with the construction, administration, interpretation and effect of the Plan and of its rules and regulations, shall, to the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Laws, be within its absolute discretion (except as otherwise specifically provided in the Plan) and shall be final, binding and conclusive upon the Company, all Participants and any person claiming under or through any Participant.

     
5.

Authorization of Grants

     
a.

Eligibility. NSOs, Restricted Shares, Restricted Share Units, SARs, Performance Units and Performance Shares may be granted to Service Providers either alone or in combination with any other Awards. ISOs may be granted as specified in Section 15(a) to employees of the Company, and of any Parent or Subsidiary.

     
b.

General Terms of Awards. Each grant of an Award shall be subject to all applicable terms and conditions of the Plan (including but not limited to any specific terms and conditions applicable to that type of Award set out in the following Sections), and such other terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, as the Administrator may prescribe. Any additional terms of an Award shall be set forth in an agreement evidencing the Award by and between the Company and the Participant.




c.

Vesting Conditions. The Administrator may impose vesting schedules, limitations on transferability and forfeiture conditions on any Award granted under this Plan as the Administrator in its sole discretion may deem advisable or appropriate, on the basis of such conditions, including but not limited to, achievement of Company-wide, business unit, or individual goals (including, but not limited to, continued status as a Service Provider), or any other basis the Administrator may determine in its discretion and provide for in the applicable Award Agreement. Specifically, the options granted under the 2010 Plan are performance-based and do not begin vesting until the consummation of the Company’s initial public offering. However, upon the consummation of the Company’s initial public offering, the Option shall have an immediate vesting of all Shares that would have vested between the Grant Date and the consummation of the Company’s initial public offering. The Administrator, in its discretion, may accelerate the time at which any such restrictions will lapse or be removed. The Administrator may, in its discretion, also provide for such complete or partial exceptions to an employment or service restriction as it deems equitable.

     
d.

Effect of Termination of Employment, Etc. Except as otherwise provided in Section 13, unless the Administrator in its sole discretion shall at any time determine otherwise with respect to any Award, if the Participant’s employment or other association with the Company and its Affiliates ends for any reason, including because of the Participant’s employer ceasing to be an Affiliate, (a) any outstanding Option or SAR of the Participant shall cease to be exercisable in any respect not later than three (3) months following that event and, for the period it remains exercisable following that event, shall be exercisable only to the extent exercisable at the date of that event, and (b) any other outstanding Award of the Participant shall be forfeited or otherwise subject to return to or repurchase by the Company on the terms specified in the applicable Award Agreement. Military or sick leave or other bona fide leave shall not be deemed a termination of employment or other association, provided that it does not exceed the longer of three (3) months days or the period during which the absent Participant’s reemployment rights, if any, are guaranteed by statute or by contract.

     
6.

Share Options.

     
a.

Grant of Options. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, the Administrator, at any time and from time to time, may grant Options to Service Providers in such amounts as the Administrator will determine in its sole discretion. The Administrator may grant NSOs, ISOs, or any combination of the two. ISOs shall be granted in accordance with Section 15(a) of the Plan.

     
b.

Option Award Agreement. Each Option shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement that shall specify the type of Option granted, the Option’s exercise price, the exercise date, the term of the Option, the number of Shares to which the Option pertains, vesting criteria and such other terms and conditions (which need not be identical among Participants) as the Administrator shall determine in its sole discretion. If the Award Agreement does not specify that the Option is to be treated as an ISO, the Option shall be deemed a NSO.

     
c.

Exercise Price. The per Share exercise price for the Shares to be issued pursuant to exercise of an Option will be no less than the Fair Market Value per Share on the Grant Date. Notwithstanding the above or any other term in this Plan or any Award Agreement, Shares shall be issued pursuant to exercise of an Option at a price at least equal to their par value.




  d.

Term of Options. The term of each Option will be stated in the Award Agreement. Unless terminated sooner in accordance with the Plan or Award Agreement, no Option shall be exercisable on or after the tenth anniversary of the Grant Date.

         
  e.

Time and Form of Payment.

         
  i.

Exercise Date. Each Award Agreement shall specify how and when Shares covered by an Option may be purchased. The Award Agreement may specify waiting periods, the dates on which Options become exercisable or “vested” and, subject to the termination provisions of the Option, exercise periods. The Administrator may accelerate the exercisability of any Option or portion thereof.

         
  ii.

Exercise of Option. Any Option granted hereunder will be exercisable according to the terms of the Plan and at such times and under such conditions as determined by the Administrator and set forth in the Award Agreement. An Option may not be exercised for a fraction of a Share. An Option will be deemed exercised when the Company receives: (1) notice of exercise (in such form as the Administrator shall specify from time to time) from the person entitled to exercise the Option, and (2) full payment for the Shares with respect to which the Option is exercised (together with all applicable withholding taxes). Full payment may consist of any consideration and method of payment authorized by the Administrator and permitted by the Award Agreement and the Plan (together with all applicable withholding taxes). Shares issued upon exercise of an Option will be issued in the name of the Optionee or, if requested by the Optionee, in the name of the Optionee and his or her spouse or a Designated Beneficiary. Until the Shares are issued (as evidenced by the appropriate entry in the register of members of the Company), no right to vote or receive dividends or any other rights as a shareholder will exist with respect to the Shares subject to the Option, notwithstanding the exercise of the Option. The Company will issue (or cause to be issued) such Shares promptly after the Option is exercised. No adjustment will be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to the date the Shares are issued, except as provided in Section 13.

         
  iii.

Payment. The Administrator will determine the acceptable form of consideration for exercising an Option, including the method of payment. Such consideration may consist entirely of:

         
  (1)

cash;

         
  (2)

(5)

to the extent not prohibited by Section 402 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, in accordance with any broker-assisted cashless exercise procedures approved by the Company and as in effect from time to time;

(8)

such other consideration and method of payment for the issuance of Shares to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws.

b.

Restricted Shares Award Agreement. Each Award of Restricted Shares will be evidenced by an Award Agreement that will specify the Period of Restriction, the number of Shares granted, vesting criteria, transferability restrictions, and such other terms and conditions (which need not be identical among Participants) as the Administrator will determine in its sole discretion. Unless the Administrator determines otherwise, the Company’s designee as escrow agent will hold Restricted Shares until the restrictions on such Shares have lapsed. Any share certificates issued in respect of an Award of Restricted Shares shall be registered in the name of the Participant and, unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, deposited by the Participant, together with a signed share transfer instrument endorsed in blank, with the Company (or its designee).

     
c.

Terms and Conditions.

     
i.

Vesting Conditions. During the Period of Restriction, Restricted Shares shall be subject to forfeiture (including a right in the Company to repurchase Restricted Shares at less than the then Fair Market Value per Share) arising on the basis of such conditions as the Administrator may determine in its sole discretion. Any such risk of forfeiture may be waived or terminated, or the Period of Restriction shortened, at any time by the Administrator on such basis as it deems appropriate.

     
ii.

Voting Rights. During the Period of Restriction, Service Providers holding Restricted Shares granted hereunder may exercise full voting rights with respect to those Shares.




  iii.

Dividends and Other Distributions. During the Period of Restriction, Service Providers holding Restricted Shares will be entitled to receive all dividends and other distributions paid with respect to such Shares. If any such dividends or distributions are paid in Shares, the Shares will be subject to the same restrictions on transferability and forfeitability as the Restricted Shares with respect to which they were paid.

     
  iv.

Transferability. Except as provided in the Plan, Restricted Shares may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated until the end of the applicable Period of Restriction.


  d.

Removal of Restrictions. All restrictions imposed on Restricted Shares shall lapse and the Period of Restriction shall end upon the satisfaction of the vesting conditions imposed by the Administrator. Restricted Shares not previously forfeited will be released from escrow as soon as practicable after the last day of the Period of Restriction or at such other time as the Administrator may determine, but in no event later than the 15th day of the third month following the end of the year in which vesting occurred.

     
  e.

Share Grants. Share Grants shall be awarded solely in recognition of significant contributions to the success of the Company or its Affiliates, in lieu of compensation otherwise already due and in such other limited circumstances as the Administrator deems appropriate. Share Grants shall be made without forfeiture conditions of any kind.


8.

Restricted Share Units.

     
a.

Grant of Restricted Share Units. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, the Administrator, at any time and from time to time, may grant Restricted Share Units to Service Providers in such amounts as the Administrator will determine in its sole discretion.

     
b.

Restricted Share Units Award Agreement. Each Award of Restricted Share Units will be evidenced by an Award Agreement that will specify the number of Restricted Share Units granted, vesting criteria, form of payout, vesting criteria and such other terms and conditions (which need not be identical among Participants) as the Administrator will determine in its sole discretion.

     
c.

Vesting Conditions. During the Period of Restriction, Restricted Shares shall be subject to forfeiture arising on the basis of such conditions as the Administrator may determine in its sole discretion. Any such risk of forfeiture may be waived or terminated, or the Period of Restriction shortened, at any time by the Administrator on such basis as it deems appropriate.

     
d.

Time and Form of Payment. Upon satisfaction of the applicable vesting conditions, payment of vested Restricted Share Units shall occur in the manner and at the time provided in the Award Agreement, but in no event later than the 15th day of the third month following the end of the year in which vesting occurred. Except as otherwise provided in the Award Agreement, Restricted Share Units may be paid in cash (equal to the aggregate Fair Market Value of the Shares underlying the vested Restricted Share Units), Shares, or a combination thereof at the sole discretion of the Administrator. Restricted Share Units that are fully paid in cash will not reduce the number of Shares available for issuance under the Plan.




9.

Share Appreciation Rights.

     
a.

Grant of SARs. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, the Administrator, at any time and from time to time, may grant SARs to Service Providers in such amounts as the Administrator will determine in its sole discretion.

     
b.

Award Agreement. Each SAR grant will be evidenced by an Award Agreement that will specify the exercise price, the number of Shares underlying the SAR grant, the term of the SAR, the conditions of exercise, vesting criteria and such other terms and conditions (which need not be identical among Participants) as the Administrator will determine in its sole discretion.

     
c.

Exercise Price and Other Terms. The per Share exercise price for the exercise of an SAR will be no less than the Fair Market Value per Share on the Grant Date. No SAR shall be exercisable on or after the tenth anniversary of the Grant Date. Notwithstanding the above or any other term in this Plan or any Award Agreement, Shares shall be issued pursuant to exercise of an SAR at a price at least equal to their par value.

     
d.

Time and Form of Payment of SAR Amount. Upon exercise of a SAR, a Participant will be entitled to receive payment from the Company in an amount no greater than: (i) the difference between the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of exercise over the exercise price; times (ii) the number of Shares with respect to which the SAR is exercised. An Award Agreement may provide for a SAR to be paid in cash, Shares of equivalent value, or a combination thereof.

     
10.

Performance Units and Performance Shares.

     
a.

Grant of Performance Units and Performance Shares. Performance Units or Performance Shares may be granted to Service Providers at any time and from time to time, as will be determined by the Administrator, in its sole discretion. The Administrator will have complete discretion in determining the number of Performance Units and Performance Shares granted to each Participant.

     
b.

Award Agreement. Each Award of Performance Units and Shares will be evidenced by an Award Agreement that will specify the initial value, the Performance Period, the number of Performance Units or Performance Shares granted, and such other terms and conditions (which need not be identical among Participants) as the Administrator will determine in its sole discretion.

     
c.

Value of Performance Units and Performance Shares. Each Performance Unit will have an initial value that is established by the Administrator on or before the Grant Date. Each Performance Share will have an initial value equal to the Fair Market Value of a Share on the Grant Date.

     
d.

Vesting Conditions and Performance Period. The Administrator will set performance objectives or other vesting provisions (including, without limitation, continued status as a Service Provider) in its discretion which, depending on the extent to which they are met, will determine the number or value of Performance Units or Performance Shares that will be paid out to the Participant. The time period during which the performance objectives or other vesting provisions must be met will be called the “Performance Period.” After the applicable Performance Period has ended, the holder of Performance Units shall be entitled to receive payout on the number and value of Performance Units or Performance Shares earned by the Participant over the Performance Period, to be determined as a function of the extent to which the corresponding performance objectives have been achieved.




e.

Time and Form of Payment. After the applicable Performance Period has ended, the holder of Performance Units or Performance Shares will be entitled to receive a payout of the number of vested Performance Units or Performance Shares by the Participant over the Performance Period, to be determined as a function of the extent to which the corresponding performance objectives or other vesting provisions have been achieved. Vested Performance Units or Performance Shares will be paid as soon as practicable after the expiration of the applicable Performance Period, but in no event later than the 15th day of the third month following the end of the year the applicable Performance Period expired. An Award Agreement may provide for the satisfaction of Performance Unit or Performance Share Awards in cash or Shares (which have an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to the value of the vested Performance Units or Performance Shares at the close of the applicable Performance Period) or in a combination thereof.

   
f.

Forfeiture of Performance Units and Performance Shares. All unvested Performance Units or Performance Shares will be forfeited to the Company on the date set forth in the Award Agreement, and again will become available for grant under the Plan.

   
11.

Leaves of Absence/Transfer Between Locations. Unless the Administrator provides otherwise or as required by Applicable Laws, vesting of Awards will be suspended during any unpaid leave of absence. An Employee will not cease to be an Employee in the case of (i) any approved leave of absence or (ii) transfers between locations of the Company or between the Company and any Affiliate.

   
12.

Transferability of Awards. Unless otherwise provided in this Plan or otherwise determined by the Administrator, an Award 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 Participant, only by the Participant. However, the Administrator may, at or after the grant of an Award other than an ISO, provide that such Award may be transferred by the recipient to a family member; provided, however, that any such transfer is without payment of any consideration whatsoever and that no transfer shall be valid unless first approved by the Administrator, acting in its sole discretion and as required by the articles of association of the Company. For this purpose, “family member” means any child, stepchild, grandchild, parent, stepparent, spouse, former spouse, sibling, niece, nephew, mother-in-law, father-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, brother-in-law, or sister-in-law, including adoptive relationships, any person sharing the employee’s household (other than a tenant or employee), a trust in which the foregoing persons have more than fifty (50) percent of the beneficial interests, a foundation in which the foregoing persons (or the Participant) control the management of assets, and any other entity in which these persons (or the Participant) own more than fifty (50) percent of the voting interests. If the Administrator makes an Award transferable, such Award will contain such additional terms and conditions as the Administrator deems appropriate.

   
13.

Adjustments; Dissolution or Liquidation; Merger or Change in Control.

   
a.

Adjustments. In the event that any dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, Shares, other securities, or other property), recapitalization, share split, reverse share split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, repurchase, or exchange of Shares or other securities of the Company, or other change in the corporate structure of the Company affecting the Shares occurs, the Administrator, in order to prevent diminution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan, shall appropriately adjust the number and kind of Shares that may be delivered under the Plan, the Share-based limitations under Section 15b, and/or the number, kind, and price of Shares covered by each outstanding Award.




  b.

Dissolution or Liquidation. In the event of the proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Administrator will notify each Participant as soon as practicable prior to the effective date of such proposed transaction. To the extent it has not been previously exercised, an Award will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed action.

     
  c.

Change in Control. In the event of a Change in Control, any or all outstanding Awards may be assumed by the successor corporation on an equitable basis, which assumption shall be binding on all Participants. In the alternative, the successor corporation may substitute equivalent Awards (after taking into account the existing provisions of the Awards) on an equitable basis. The successor corporation may also issue, in place of outstanding Shares of the Company held by the Participant, substantially similar shares or other property subject to vesting requirements and repurchase restrictions no less favorable to the Participant than those in effect prior to the Change in Control.

     
 

In the event that the successor corporation does not assume or substitute for the Award, unless the Administrator provides otherwise, the Participant will fully vest in and have the right to exercise all of his or her outstanding Options and SARs, including Shares as to which such Awards would not otherwise be vested or exercisable, all restrictions on Restricted Shares and Restricted Share Units will lapse, and, with respect to Performance Shares and Performance Units, all Performance Goals or other vesting criteria will be deemed achieved at target levels and all other terms and conditions met. In addition, if an Option or SAR is not assumed or substituted in the event of a Change in Control, the Administrator will notify the Participant in writing or electronically that the Option or SAR will be exercisable for a period of time determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion, and the Option or SAR will terminate upon the expiration of such period.

     
 

For the purposes of this Section 13(c), an Award will be considered assumed if, following the Change in Control, the Award confers the right to purchase or receive, for each Share subject to the Award immediately prior to the Change in Control, the consideration (whether shares, cash, or other securities or property) or, in the case of a SAR upon the exercise of which the Administrator determines to pay cash or a Performance Share or Performance Unit which the Administrator can determine to pay in cash, the fair market value of the consideration, received in the Change in Control by holders of ordinary shares for each Share held on the effective date of the transaction (and if holders were offered a choice of consideration, the type of consideration chosen by the holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares); provided, however, that if such consideration received in the Change in Control is not solely ordinary shares of the successor corporation or its Parent, the Administrator may, with the consent of the successor corporation, provide for the consideration to be received upon the exercise of an Option or SAR or upon the payout of a Restricted Share Unit, Performance Share or Performance Unit, for each Share subject to such Award (or in the case of Restricted Share Units and Performance Units, the number of implied shares determined by dividing the value of the Restricted Share Units and Performance Units, as applicable, by the per share consideration received by holders of ordinary shares in the Change in Control), to be solely ordinary shares of the successor corporation or its Parent equal in fair market value to the per share consideration received by holders of ordinary shares in the Change in Control.



Notwithstanding anything in this Section 13(c) to the contrary, (A) an Award that vests, is earned or paid-out upon the satisfaction of one or more performance goals will not be considered assumed upon a Change in Control if the Company or its successor modifies any of such performance goals without the Participant's consent; provided, however, a modification to such performance goals only to reflect the successor corporation's post-Change in Control corporate structure will not be deemed to invalidate an otherwise valid Award assumption and (B) in the event of an involuntary termination of services of a Service Provider for any reason other than death, disability or cause within six (6) months following the consummation of a Change in Control, any of his or her Awards assumed or substituted in the Change in Control which are subject to vesting conditions and/or a right of repurchase in favor of the Company or a successor entity, shall accelerate in full. All such Accelerated Awards shall be exercisable for a period of one (1) year following termination, but in no event after expiration date of such Award.

14.

Tax Withholding.

       
a.

Withholding Requirements. Prior to the issue or delivery of any Shares or cash pursuant to an Award (or exercise thereof), the Company will have the power and the right to deduct or withhold or cause to be deducted or withheld, or require a Participant to remit to the Company or its Affiliates, an amount sufficient to satisfy national, federal, state, provincial, local, foreign or other taxes required by Applicable Laws to be withheld with respect to such Award (or exercise thereof).

       
b.

Withholding Arrangements. The Administrator, in its sole discretion and pursuant to such procedures as it may specify from time to time, may permit a Participant to satisfy such tax withholding obligation, in whole or in part by (without limitation) (i) paying cash, (ii) electing to have the Company withhold otherwise deliverable Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount required to be withheld, or (iii) delivering to the Company already-owned Shares for repurchase having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount required to be withheld. The amount of the withholding requirement will be deemed to include any amount which the Administrator agrees may be withheld at the time the election is made. The Fair Market Value of the Shares to be withheld or delivered will be determined as of the date that the taxes are required to be withheld.

       
15.

Provisions Applicable In the Event the Company or the Service Provider is Subject to U.S. Taxation.

       
a.

Grant of Incentive Share Options. If the Administrator grants Options to Employees subject to U.S. taxation, the Administrator may grant such Employee an ISO and the following terms shall also apply:

       
i.

Maximum Amount. Subject to the provisions of Section 13, to the extent consistent with Section 422 of the Code, not more than an aggregate of three million (3,000,000) Shares may be issued as ISOs under the Plan.




  ii.

General Rule. Only employees of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary shall be eligible for the grant of ISOs.

       
  iii.

Continuous Employment. Unless otherwise provided under the Code, the ISO will cease to be treated as an ISO unless the Optionee remains in the continuous employ of the Company or its Parent or Subsidiaries from the date the ISO is granted until not more than three months before the date on which it is exercised (or such longer periods as may be permitted by provisions in each Service Provider’s contract with the Company, such as the employment agreement, that predates this Plan, or in the event termination is due to death or Disability). A leave of absence approved by the Company may exceed three (3) months if reemployment upon expiration of such leave is guaranteed by statute or contract. If reemployment upon expiration of a leave of absence approved by the Company is not so guaranteed, then on the first day following the first three (3) months of such leave, the Optionee’s employment will be deemed terminated for this purpose and any ISO held by the Optionee will cease to be treated as an ISO if not exercised within three (3) months after the deemed termination date.

       
  iv.

Award Agreement.

       
  (1)

The Administrator shall designate Options granted as ISOs in the Award Agreement. Notwithstanding such designation, to the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value of the Shares with respect to which ISOs are exercisable for the first time by the Optionee during any calendar year (under all plans of the Company and any Parent or Subsidiary) exceeds one hundred thousand dollars (U.S.$100,000), Options will not qualify as an ISO. For purposes of this section, ISOs will be taken into account in the order in which they were granted. The Fair Market Value of the Shares will be determined as of the time the Option with respect to such Shares are granted.

       
  (2)

The Award Agreement shall specify the term of the ISO. The term shall not exceed ten (10) years from the Grant Date or five (5) years from the Grant Date for Ten Percent Owners.

       
  (3)

The Award Agreement shall specify an exercise price of not less than the Fair Market Value per Share on the Grant Date or one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value per Share on the Grant Date for Ten Percent Owners.

       
  (4)

The Award Agreement shall specify that an ISO is not transferable except by will, beneficiary designation or the laws of descent and distribution.

       
  v.

Form of Payment. The consideration to be paid for the Shares to be issued upon exercise of an ISO, including the method of payment, shall be determined by the Administrator in accordance with Section 6(e)(iii).

       
  vi.

Disability,” for purposes of an ISO, means total and permanent disability as defined in Section 22(e)(3) of the Code.




  vii.

Notice. In the event of any disposition of the Shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of an ISO within two years from the Grant Date or one year from the exercise date, the Optionee will notify the Company thereof in writing within thirty (30) days after such disposition. In addition, the Optionee shall provide the Company with such information as the Company shall reasonably request in connection with determining the amount and character of Optionee’s income, the Company’s deduction, and the Company’s obligation to withhold taxes or other amounts incurred by reason of a disqualifying disposition, including the amount thereof.


  b.

Performance-based Compensation. If the Company grants an Award as “performance- based compensation” for which it claims deductions that are subject to the Code Section 162(m) limitation on its U.S. tax returns, then the following terms shall control over any contrary provision contained in the Plan and be applied in a manner consistent with the requirements of, and only to the extent required for compliance with, the exclusion from the limitation on deductibility of compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code:

       
  i.

Outside Directors. All grants of Awards intended to qualify as Qualified Performance-Based Awards and determination of terms applicable thereto shall be made by the Administrator or, if not all of the members thereof qualify as “outside directors” within the meaning of applicable regulations under Section 162 of the Code, a subcommittee of the Administrator consisting of such of the members of the Administrator as do so qualify. Any action by such a subcommittee shall be considered the action of the Administrator for purposes of the Plan.

       
  ii.

Applicability. This Section 15(b) will apply only to those Covered Employees, or to those persons who the Administrator determines are reasonably likely to become Covered Employees in the period covered by an Award, selected by the Administrator to receive Qualified Performance-Based Awards. The Administrator may, in its discretion, grant Awards not intended to qualify as Qualified Performance-Based Awards to Covered Employees that do not satisfy the requirements of this Section 15(b).

       
  iii.

Maximum Amount. Subject to the provisions of Section 13, the maximum number of Shares that can be subject to Awards granted to any individual Participant in the aggregate in any one fiscal year of the Company is three million (3,000,000) Shares. For purposes of this limitation:


  (1)

For Awards denominated in Shares and satisfied in cash, the maximum Award to any individual Participant in the aggregate in any one fiscal year of the Company is the Fair Market Value of three million (3,000,000) Shares on the Grant Date; and

     
  (2)

The maximum amount payable pursuant to any cash Awards to any individual Participant in the aggregate in any one fiscal year of the Company is the Fair Market Value of three million (3,000,000) Shares on the Grant Date.


  iv.

Performance Criteria. All performance criteria must be objective and be established in writing prior to the beginning of the Performance Period or at later time as permitted by Section 162(m) of the Code and shall otherwise meet the requirements of Section 162(m) of the Code, including the requirement that the outcome of the performance goals be substantially uncertain (as defined in the regulations under Section 162(m) of the Code) at the time established. Performance criteria may include alternative and multiple performance goals and may be based on one or more business and/or financial criteria. In establishing the performance goals, the Committee in its discretion may include one or any combination of the following criteria in either absolute or relative terms, for the Company or any Subsidiary:



(1)

Increased revenue;

(2)

Net income measures (including but not limited to income after capital costs and income before or after taxes);

(3)

Share price measures (including but not limited to growth measures and total shareholder return);

(4)

Market share;

(5)

Earnings per Share (actual or targeted growth);

(6)

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“EBITDA”);

(7)

Cash flow measures (including but not limited to net cash flow and net cash flow before financing activities);

(8)

Return measures (including but not limited to return on equity, return on average assets, return on capital, risk-adjusted return on capital, return on investors’ capital and return on average equity);

(9)

Operating measures (including operating income, funds from operations, cash from operations, after-tax operating income, sales volumes, production volumes, and production efficiency);

(10)

Expense measures (including but not limited to overhead cost and general and administrative expense);

(11)

Margins;

(12)

Shareholder value;

(13)

Total shareholder return;

Proceeds from dispositions;

(15)

Total market value; and

(16)

Corporate values measures (including but not limited to ethics compliance, environmental, and safety).


  c.

Share Options and SARs Exempt from Section 409A of the Code. If the Administrator grants Options or SARs to Service Providers subject to U.S. taxation, the Company must qualify as an eligible issuer of service recipient shares within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code with respect to such Service Provider (unless the Option or SAR otherwise complies with Section 409A of the Code), and the Administrator may not modify or amend the Options or SARs to the extent that the modification or amendment adds a feature allowing for additional deferral within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code.



   
16.

Grants to Foreign Nationals. Awards may be granted to Service Providers who are foreign nationals or employed outside the United States, or both, on such terms and conditions different from those applicable to grants to Services Providers in the United States as in the judgment of the Administrator may be necessary or desirable in order to recognize differences in local law or tax policy, and such Awards shall be considered granted pursuant to a non-U.S. sub-plan. The Administrator also may impose conditions on the exercise or vesting of Awards in order to minimize the company’s obligation with respect to tax equalization for employees on assignments outside their home country.

     
17.

No Effect on Employment or Service. Neither the Plan nor any Award will confer upon any Participant any right with respect to continuing the Participant's relationship as a Service Provider with the Company or any Affiliate of the Company, nor will they interfere in any way with the Participant's right or the Company's or its Affiliates’ right to terminate such relationship at any time, with or without cause, to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws.

     
18.

Effective Date. The Plan’s effective date is the date on which it is adopted by the Board, so long as it is approved by the Company’s shareholders at any time within twelve (12) months of such adoption. Upon approval of the Plan by the shareholders of the Company, all Awards issued pursuant to the Plan on or after the Effective Date shall be fully effective as if the shareholders of the Company had approved the Plan on the Effective Date. If the shareholders fail to approve the Plan within one year after the Effective Date, any Awards made hereunder shall be null and void and of no effect.

     
19.

Term of Plan. The Plan will terminate 10 years following the earlier of (i) the date it was adopted by the Board or (ii) the date it became effective upon approval by shareholders of the Company, unless sooner terminated by the Board pursuant to Section 19.

     
20.

Amendment and Termination of the Plan.

     
a.

Amendment and Termination. The Board may at any time amend, alter, suspend or terminate the Plan.

     
b.

Shareholder Approval. The Company will obtain shareholder approval of any Plan amendment to the extent necessary and desirable to comply with Applicable Laws.

     
c.

Effect of Amendment or Termination. No amendment, alteration, suspension or termination of the Plan will impair the rights of any Participant, unless mutually agreed otherwise between the Participant and the Administrator, which agreement must be in writing and signed by the Participant and the Company. Termination of the Plan will not affect the Administrator's ability to exercise the powers granted to it hereunder with respect to Awards granted under the Plan prior to the date of such termination.

     
21.

Conditions Upon Issuance of Shares.

     
a.

Legal Compliance. The Administrator may delay or suspend the issuance and delivery of Shares, suspend the exercise of Options or SARs, or suspend the Plan as necessary to comply with Applicable Laws. Shares will not be issued pursuant to the exercise of an Award unless the exercise of such Award and the issuance and delivery of such Shares will comply with Applicable Laws and will be further subject to the approval of counsel for the Company with respect to such compliance.




  b.

Corporate Restrictions on Rights in Shares. Any Shares to be issued pursuant to Awards granted under the Plan shall be subject to all restrictions upon the transfer thereof which may be now or hereafter imposed by the memorandum and articles of association of the Company. In addition, either at the time an Award is granted or by subsequent action, the Administrator may, but need not, impose such restrictions, conditions or limitations as it determines appropriate as to the timing and manner of any resales or other subsequent transfers by a Participant, or a holder of Shares acquired pursuant to the Plan, of any Share issued under an Award, including without limitation (a) restrictions under an insider trading policy, (b) restrictions designed to delay and/or coordinate the timing and manner of sales by the Participant(s), and (c) restrictions as to the use of a specified brokerage firm for such resales or other transfers.

     
  c.

Registration. If the Company shall deem it necessary or desirable to register under the Securities Act or other Applicable Law any Shares issued or to be issued pursuant to Awards granted under the Plan, or to qualify any such Shares for exemption from the Securities Act or other Applicable Law, then the Company may, but shall not be required to, take such action at its own expense. The Company may require from each Participant, or each holder of Shares acquired pursuant to the Plan, such information in writing for use in any registration statement, prospectus, preliminary prospectus or offering circular as is reasonably necessary for that purpose and may require reasonable indemnity to the Company and its officers and directors from that holder against all losses, claims, damage and liabilities arising from use of the information so furnished and caused by any untrue statement of any material fact therein or caused by the omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances under which they were made. In addition, the Company may require any such person to agree to lock-up terms as the Company may deem advisable or appropriate.

     
  d.

Investment Representations. As a condition to the exercise of an Award, the Shares to be issued pursuant to such Award shall have been effectively registered under the Securities Act, or the Participant exercising such Award shall have made such written representations and warranties to the Company (upon which the Company believes it may reasonably rely) as the Administrator may deem necessary or appropriate for the purposes of confirming that the issuance of the Shares pursuant to such Award will be exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws and otherwise in compliance with all Applicable Laws, including but not limited to that the Participant is acquiring the Shares only for investment and without any present intention to sell or distribute such Shares.

     
  e.

Placement of Legends; Stop Orders; etc. Each Share to be issued pursuant to Awards granted under the Plan may bear a reference to the investment representation made in accordance with Section 20d in addition to any other applicable restriction under the Plan, the terms of the Award and to the fact that no registration statement has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission in respect to such Shares. All certificates for Shares or other securities delivered under the Plan shall be subject to such share transfer orders and other restrictions as the Administrator may deem advisable under the rules, regulations, and other requirements of any share exchange upon which the Shares are then listed, and any Applicable Law, and the Administrator may cause a legend or legends to be put on any such certificates to make appropriate reference to such restrictions.



   
22.

Inability to Obtain Authority. 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, will relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to issue or sell such Shares as to which such requisite authority will not have been obtained.

   
23.

Repricing; Exchange And Buyout of Awards. The repricing or termination and subsequent repricing of Options or SARs at a lower purchase price per Share than the original grant is permitted without prior shareholder approval. The Administrator may authorize the Company to issue new Option or SAR Awards in exchange for the surrender and cancellation of any or all outstanding Awards, subject to the consent of any Participant whose rights would be impaired. The Administrator may at any time repurchase Options with payment in cash, Shares or other consideration, based on such terms and conditions as the Administrator and the Participant shall agree.

AGREEMENT

1. Grant of Option. The Administrator grants to the Optionee named in the Notice of Share Option Grant in Part I of this Option Agreement, an Option to purchase the number of Shares set forth in the Notice of Share Option Grant, at the exercise price per Share set forth in the Notice of Share Option Grant (the “Exercise Price”), and subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, which is incorporated herein by reference. In the event of a conflict between the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Option Agreement, the terms and conditions of the Plan prevail.

If designated in the Notice of Share Option Grant as an Incentive Share Option, this Option is intended to qualify as an Incentive Share Option as defined in Section 422 of the Code. Nevertheless, to the extent that it exceeds the US$100,000 rule of Section 422(d) of the Code, this Option will be treated as a Nonstatutory Share Option.

2. Exercise of Option.

(a) Right to Exercise. This Option is exercisable during its term in accordance with the Vesting Schedule set out in the Notice of Share Option Grant and with the applicable provisions of the Plan and this Option Agreement.

(b) Method of Exercise. This Option is exercisable by (i) delivery of an exercise notice in the form attached as Exhibit A (the “Exercise Notice”), or in a manner and pursuant to procedures as the Administrator may determine, which will state the election to exercise the Option, the number of Shares with respect to which the Option is being exercised, and other representations and agreements as may be required by the Company and (ii) paying the Company in full the aggregate Exercise Price as to all Shares being acquired, together with any applicable tax withholding.

This Option will be deemed to be exercised upon receipt by the Company of a fully executed Exercise Notice accompanied by the aggregate Exercise Price, together with any applicable tax withholding.

No Shares will be issued pursuant to the exercise of an Option unless the issuance and exercise of Shares complies with Applicable Laws. Assuming compliance, for income tax purposes the Shares will be considered transferred to Optionee on the date on which the Option is exercised with respect to the Shares.


3. Method of Payment. The aggregate Exercise Price may be paid by any of the following, or a combination thereof, at the election of Optionee:

(a) cash;

(b) check;

(c) to the extent permittd by the Administrator and not prohibited by Section 402 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, a promissory note;

(d) to the extent permitted by the Administrator, other Shares, provided such Shares have a Fair Market Value on the date of surrender equal to the aggregate exercise price of the Shares as to which the Option will be exercised (such Shares will be repurchased by the Company at a repurchase price equal to their Fair Market Value);

(e) if the Shares are publicly traded, and to the extent not prohibited by Section 402 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, in accordance with any broker-assisted cashless exercise procedures approved by the Company and as in effect from time to time;

(f) to the extent permitted by the Administrator, by asking the Company to withhold Shares from the total Shares to be delivered upon exercise equal to the number of Shares having a value equal to the aggregate Exercise Price of the Shares being acquired;

(g) any combination of the foregoing methods of payment; or

(h) such other consideration and method of payment for the issuance of Shares to the extent permitted by the Administrator and Applicable Laws.

4. Restrictions on Exercise. This Option may not be exercised (a) until such time as the Plan has been approved by the shareholders of the Company, or (b) if the issuance of such Shares upon such exercise or the method of payment of consideration for such shares would constitute a violation of any Applicable Laws. The Company will be relieved of any liability with respect to any delayed issuance of shares or its failure to issue shares if such delay or failure is necessary to comply with Applicable Laws.

5. Non-Transferability of Option. This Option may not be transferred in any manner otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution or, upon notice to and consent of the Company, to family members (as defined in the Plan), and may be exercised only by Optionee or Designated Beneficiary. The terms of the Plan and this Option Agreement are binding upon the executors, administrators, heirs, successors and assigns of Optionee.

6. Term of Option. This Option may be exercised only within the term set out in the Notice of Share Option Grant, and may be exercised during the term only in accordance with the Plan and the terms of this Option Agreement.

7. No Rights as Shareholder. Until the issuance of the Shares (as evidenced by the appropriate entry in the register of members of the Company), no right to vote or receive dividends or any other rights as a shareholder exists with respect to the Shares, notwithstanding the exercise of the Option. Subject to the requirements of Section 8 and Section 11 below, the Shares will be issued to Optionee as soon as practicable after the Option is exercised in accordance with the Option Agreement. No adjustment will be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to the date of issuance except as provided in the Plan


8. Tax Obligations.

(a) Withholding Taxes. Optionee agrees to arrange for the satisfaction of all national, federal, provincial, state and local taxes (including income and employment taxes) required by Applicable Laws to be withheld with respect to the grant and exercise of the Option. Optionee acknowledges and agrees that the Company may refuse to honor the exercise and refuse to deliver the Shares if withholding amounts are not delivered at the time of exercise. In this regard, Optionee authorizes the Company or his/her actual employer to withhold all applicable tax withholding legally payable by Optionee from Optionee’s wages or other cash compensation payable to Optionee by the Company or his/her employer or from any equivalent cash payment received upon exercise of the Option. Alternatively, the Company or the employer may permit Optionee to satisfy such withholding or payment on account obligations, in whole or in part (without limitation) by paying cash. In addition, if permissible under local law, the Company or the employer, in their sole discretion and pursuant to such procedures as they may specify from time to time, may (a) withhold otherwise deliverable Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the minimum amount required to be withheld, and/or (b) sell or arrange for the sale of a sufficient number of such Shares otherwise deliverable to Optionee through such means as the Company may determine in its sole discretion (whether through a broker or otherwise) equal to the amount required to be withheld. Optionee shall pay to the Company or to the employer any amount of tax that the Company or the employer may be required to withhold as a result of the grant, vesting or exercise of the Option that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described.

(b) Notice of Disqualifying Disposition of ISO Shares. If the Option granted to Optionee is an ISO, and if Optionee sells or otherwise disposes of any of the Shares acquired pursuant to the ISO on or before the later of (i) the date two (2) years after the Grant Date, or (ii) the date one (1) year after the date of exercise, Optionee must immediately notify the Company of the disposition in writing. Optionee agrees that Optionee may be subject to income tax withholding by the Company on the compensation income recognized by Optionee.

(c) Code Section 409A. Under Section 409A of the Code, an Option that vests after December 31, 2004 that was granted with a per Share exercise price that is determined by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) to be less than the Fair Market Value of a Share on the Grant Date (a “discount option”) may be considered deferred compensation. For an Optionee subject to U.S. income tax, an Option that is a discount option may result in (i) income recognition by Optionee prior to the exercise of the Option, (ii) an additional twenty percent (20%) tax, and (iii) potential penalty and interest charges. Optionee acknowledges that the Company cannot and has not guaranteed that the IRS will agree that the per Share Exercise Price of this Option equals or exceeds Fair Market Value of a Share on the Grant Date in a later examination. Optionee agrees that if the IRS determines that the Option was granted with a per Share exercise price that was less than the Fair Market Value of a Share on the Grant Date, Optionee will be solely responsible for any and all resulting tax consequences.

9. No Guarantee of Continued Service. OPTIONEE ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THE VESTING OF SHARES PURSUANT TO THE VESTING SCHEDULE HEREOF IS EARNED ONLY BY CONTINUING AS A SERVICE PROVIDER AT THE WILL OF THE COMPANY (OR THE AFFILIATE EMPLOYING OR RETAINING OPTIONEE) AND NOT THROUGH THE ACT OF BEING HIRED, BEING GRANTED THIS OPTION OR ACQUIRING SHARES HEREUNDER. OPTIONEE FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THIS OPTION AGREEMENT, THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREUNDER AND THE VESTING SCHEDULE SET FORTH HEREIN DO NOT CONSTITUTE AN EXPRESS OR IMPLIED PROMISE OF CONTINUED ENGAGEMENT AS A SERVICE PROVIDER FOR THE VESTING PERIOD, FOR ANY PERIOD, OR AT ALL, AND WILL NOT INTERFERE IN ANY WAY WITH OPTIONEE’S RIGHT OR THE RIGHT OF THE COMPANY (OR THE AFFILIATE EMPLOYING OR RETAINING OPTIONEE) TO TERMINATE OPTIONEE’S RELATIONSHIP AS A SERVICE PROVIDER AT ANY TIME, WITH OR WITHOUT CAUSE.

All notices or other communications which are required or permitted hereunder will be in writing and sufficient if (i) personally delivered or sent by telecopy, (ii) sent by nationally-recognized overnight courier or (iii) sent by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, addressed as follows:

25. Other Agreements.

(a) Optionee understands and acknowledges that (i) the Plan is entirely discretionary, (ii) the Company and his/her employer have reserved the right to amend, suspend or terminate the Plan at any time, (iii) the grant of an Option does not in any way create any contractual or other right to receive additional grants of Options (or benefits in lieu of Options) at any time or in any amount and (iv) all determinations with respect to any additional grants, including (without limitation) the times when Options will be granted, the number of Shares offered, the exercise price and the vesting schedule, will be at the sole discretion of the Company.

Such period of time shall not exceed one hundred eighty (180) days and may be required by the underwriter as a market condition of the offering; provided, however, that if either (a) during the last seventeen (17) days of such one hundred eighty (180) day period, the Company issues an earnings release or material news or a material event relating to the Company occurs or (b) prior to the expiration of such one hundred eighty (180) day period, the Company announces that it will release earnings results during the sixteen (16) day period beginning on the last day of the one hundred eighty (180) day period, then the restrictions imposed during such one hundred eighty (180) day period shall continue to apply until the expiration of the eighteen (18) day period beginning on the issuance of the earnings release or the occurrence of the material news or material event; provided, further, that in the event the Company or the underwriter requests that the one hundred eighty (180) day period be extended or modified pursuant to then-applicable law, rules, regulations or trading policies, the restrictions imposed during the one hundred eighty (180) day period shall continue to apply to the extent requested by the Company or the underwriter to comply with such law, rules, regulations or trading policies.

During the period of restriction, Participants holding Restricted Shares are entitled to all regular cash dividends or other distributions paid with respect to all Shares while they are so held. If any such dividends or distributions are paid in Shares, such Shares will be subject to the same restrictions on transferability and forfeitability as the Restricted Shares with respect to which they were paid.

3. Vesting of Restricted Shares.

(a) The Restricted Shares are restricted and subject to forfeiture, as defined in Section 2 of the Plan (including a right in the Company to repurchase Restricted Shares for the price paid by Grantee) (“Forfeiture”), until vested. The Restricted Shares which have vested and are no longer subject to Forfeiture are referred to as “Vested Shares.” All Restricted Shares which have not become Vested Shares are referred to as “Nonvested Shares.”

(b) Restricted Shares will vest and become nonforfeitable in accordance with the vesting schedule contained in the Notice of Restricted Share Award.

(c) In the event of a Change in Control, the Administrator, in its discretion, may accelerate the time at which all or any portion of Grantee’s Restricted Shares will vest..

(d) Nonvested Shares may not be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged, or otherwise disposed of, directly or indirectly, whether by operation of law or otherwise. The restrictions set forth in this Section will terminate upon a Change in Control.

4. Forfeiture of Nonvested Shares. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, if Grantee's service with the Company ceases for any reason, any Nonvested Shares will be subject to Forfeiture to the Company; provided, however, that the Administrator may cause any Nonvested Shares immediately to vest and become nonforfeitable in its sole discretion.

(a) Legend. Each certificate evidencing Restricted Shares granted pursuant to the Notice of Restricted Share Award may bear a legend substantially as follows:

“THE SALE OR OTHER TRANSFER OF THE SHARES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE, WHETHER VOLUNTARY, INVOLUNTARY OR BY OPERATION OF LAW, IS SUBJECT TO CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER AS SET FORTH IN THE CHINA OUMEI REAL ESTATE INC. 2010 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN AND IN A RESTRICTED SHARE AWARD AGREEMENT. A COPY OF SUCH PLAN AND SUCH AGREEMENT MAY BE OBTAINED FROM CHINA OUMEI REAL ESTATE INC.”

(b) Escrow of Nonvested Shares. The Company has the right to retain the certificates evidencing Nonvested Shares in the Company’s possession until such time as all restrictions applicable to such Shares have been satisfied.

(c) Removal of Restrictions. The Participant is entitled to have the legend removed from certificates evidencing Vested Shares.

5. Recapitalizations, Exchanges, Mergers, Etc. The provisions of this Agreement apply to the full extent set forth herein with respect to any and all shares of the Company or successor of the Company which may be issued in respect of, in exchange for, or in substitution for the Restricted Shares by reason of any share dividend, split, reverse split, combination, recapitalization, reclassification, merger, consolidation or otherwise which does not terminate this Agreement. Except as otherwise provided herein, this Agreement is not intended to confer upon any other person except the parties hereto any rights or remedies hereunder.

6. Grantee Representations.

3


Grantee represents to the Company the following:

(a) Acknowledgement of Terms. Grantee acknowledges that Grantee has received, read and understood the Plan and the Agreement and agrees to abide by and be bound by their terms and conditions.

(b) Restrictions on Transfer. Grantee acknowledges that the Restricted Shares to be issued to Grantee must be held indefinitely unless subsequently registered and qualified under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), or unless an exemption from registration and qualification is otherwise available. Grantee hereby covenants and agrees with the Company that (i) Grantee is purchasing the Restricted Shares for Grantee’s own account and not with a view to the resale or distribution thereof, (ii) any subsequent offer for sale or sale of any such Restricted Shares shall be made either pursuant to either (x) a registration statement under that Act, which registration statement shall have become effective and shall be current with respect to the Restricted Shares being offered and sold, or (y) an exemption from the registration statement requirements of that Act, including the provisions of Regulation S promulgated under the Act (“Regulation S”), provided that Grantee is not a U.S. person (as defined in Regulation S) and is not acquiring the Restricted Shares for the account or benefit of a U.S. person, will resell the Restricted Shares only in accordance with the provisions of Regulation S and will not engage in any hedging transactions with regard to the Restricted Shares unless in compliance with the Act, but in claiming the exemption in (y), Grantee shall, prior to any offer for sale or sale of such Restricted Shares, obtain a favorable written opinion from counsel for or reasonably approved by the Company as to the applicability of such exemption, and (iii) the certificate evidencing such Restricted Shares shall bear an additional legend to the effect of the foregoing substantially as follows:

“THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 (THE “SECURITIES ACT”) OR UNDER APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF OTHER THAN IN COMPLIANCE WITH AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT, INCLUDING THE PROVISIONS OF REGULATION S PROMULGATED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, UNLESS REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, PROVIDED THAT THE SELLER DELIVERS TO THE COMPANY AN OPINION OF COUNSEL (WHICH OPINION IS REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY) CONFIRMING THE AVAILABILITY OF SUCH EXEMPTION. THESE SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT SECURED BY SUCH SECURITIES TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE FEDERAL AND STATE SECURITIES LAWS.”

Grantee further acknowledges that the Restricted Shares may be subject to such restrictions, conditions or limitations as the Company determines appropriate as to the timing and manner of any resales by Grantee or other subsequent transfers by Grantee of any Restricted Shares, including without limitation (a) restrictions under an insider trading policy, (b) restrictions designed to delay and/or coordinate the timing and manner of sales by Grantee, and (c) restrictions as to the use of a specified brokerage firm for such resales or other transfers.

(c) Relationship to the Company; Experience. Grantee hereby acknowledges that Grantee is aware of the Company’s business affairs and financial condition and has acquired sufficient information about the Company to reach an informed and knowledgeable decision to acquire the Restricted Shares. Grantee hereby acknowledges and understands that the grant, vest, or receipt of the Restricted Shares may be subject to and limited by the Act, the US Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (collectively, the “Securities Acts”), and other rules and regulations. Should the Company fail to register any grant, vest, or fail to issue the Restricted Shares to Grantee due to any restriction or limitation under the Securities Acts or such other rules and regulations, Grantee shall hold the Company, its Affiliates, or any of its or their officers and directors free from any liability for any of the foregoing failure.

(d) Grantee’s Liquidity. In reaching the decision to invest in the Restricted Shares, Grantee has carefully evaluated Grantee’s financial resources and investment position and the risks associated with this investment, and Grantee acknowledges that Grantee is able to bear the economic risks of the investment. Grantee (i) has adequate means of providing for Grantee’s current needs and possible personal contingencies, (ii) has no need for liquidity in Grantee’s investment, (iii) is able to bear the substantial economic risks of an investment in the Restricted Shares for an indefinite period and (iv) at the present time, can afford a complete loss of such investment. Grantee’s commitment to investments which are not readily marketable is not disproportionate to Grantee’s net worth and Grantee’s investment in the Restricted Shares will not cause Grantee’s overall commitment to become excessive.

(e) Access to Data. Grantee acknowledges that during the course of this transaction and before deciding to acquire the Restricted Shares, Grantee has been provided with financial and other written information about the Company. Grantee has been given the opportunity by the Company to obtain any information and ask questions concerning the Company, the Restricted Shares, and Grantee’s investment that Grantee felt necessary; and to the extent Grantee availed himself of that opportunity, Grantee has received satisfactory information and answers concerning the business and financial condition of the Company in response to all inquiries in respect thereof.

(f) Risks. Grantee acknowledges and understands that (i) an investment in the Company constitutes a high risk, (ii) the Restricted Shares are highly speculative, and (iii) there can be no assurance as to what investment return, if any, there may be. Grantee is aware that the Company may issue additional securities in the future which could result in the dilution of Grantee’s ownership interest in the Company.

(g) Valid Agreement. This Agreement when executed and delivered by Grantee will constitute a valid and legally binding obligation of Grantee which is enforceable in accordance with its terms.

(h) Residence. The address set forth on the Notice of Restricted Share Award is Grantee’s current address and accurately sets forth Grantee’s place of residence.

(i) Tax Consequences. Grantee has reviewed with Grantee’s own tax advisors the federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences of this investment and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Grantee is relying solely on such advisors and not on any statements or representations of the Company or any of its agents. Grantee understands that Grantee (and not the Company) is responsible for Grantee’s own tax liability that may arise as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Grantee understands that Section 83 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), taxes as ordinary income the difference between the purchase price for the Restricted Shares and the fair market value of the Restricted Shares as of the date any restrictions on the Restricted Shares lapse for U.S. Federal income tax purposes. Grantee understands that Grantee may elect to be taxed at the time the Restricted Shares are granted rather than when and as the restrictions lapse by filing an election under Section 83(b) of the Code with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service within 30 days from the date of grant. The form for making this election is attached as Exhibit A hereto.

GRANTEE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT IS GRANTEE’S SOLE RESPONSIBILITY AND NOT THE COMPANY’S TO FILE TIMELY ANY ELECTION UNDER SECTION 83(b), EVEN IF GRANTEE REQUESTS THE COMPANY OR ITS REPRESENTATIVES TO MAKE THIS FILING ON GRANTEE’S BEHALF.

5


(j) If Grantee is subject to the laws of the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”), Grantee hereby acknowledges that Grantee is aware of the relevant requirements under the laws of the PRC regarding overseas investment, including the requirements for approval and registration of overseas securities with competent authorities. Grantee is acquiring the Restricted Shares after obtaining requisite approval or registration from competent authorities of the PRC. Failure to obtain requisite approval or registration shall relieve the Company, and any Affiliate, of any liability in respect of the failure to issue the Restricted Shares. If the failure is revealed or occurs after the issuance of the Restricted Shares, the Company shall be entitled, at its sole discretion, to redeem or request Grantee to transfer the Restricted Shares to a transferee who is legally entitled to hold the Restricted Shares at a redemption price (if any) to be determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion. The Company and its Affiliates shall be relieved from any liability for any redemption or request for transfer made pursuant to the foregoing.

7. No Employment Contract Created. The issuance of the Restricted Shares is not to be construed as granting to Grantee any right with respect to continuance of employment or any service with the Company or any of its Affiliates. The right of the Company or any of its Affiliates to terminate at will Grantee's employment or terminate Grantee’s service at any time (whether by dismissal, discharge or otherwise), with or without cause, is specifically reserved, subject to any other written employment or other agreement to which the Company and Grantee may be a party.

8. Tax Withholding. The Company has the power and the right to deduct or withhold, or require Grantee to remit to the Company, an amount sufficient to satisfy national, federal, state, provincial and local taxes (including income and employment taxes) required by Applicable Laws to be withheld with respect to the grant and vesting of the Restricted Shares.

9. Interpretation. The Restricted Shares are being issued pursuant to the terms of the Plan, and are to be interpreted in accordance therewith. The Administrator will interpret and construe this Agreement and the Plan, and any action, decision, interpretation or determination made in good faith by the Administrator will be final and binding on the Company and Grantee.

10. Notices. All notices or other communications which are required or permitted hereunder will be in writing and sufficient if (i) personally delivered or sent by telecopy, (ii) sent by nationally-recognized overnight courier or (iii) sent by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, addressed as follows:

(a) if to Grantee, to the address (or telecopy number) set forth on the Notice of Restricted Share Award; and

(b) if to the Company, to its principal executive office as specified in any report filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission or to such address as the Company may have specified to Grantee in writing, Attention: Corporate Secretary;

or to such other address as the party to whom notice is to be given may have furnished to the other party in writing in accordance herewith. Any such communication will be deemed to have been given (i) when delivered, if personally delivered, or when telecopied, if telecopied with confirmation of transmission by the transmission equipment, (ii) on the first Business Day (as hereinafter defined) after dispatch, if sent by nationally-recognized overnight courier and (iii) on the fifth Business Day following the date on which the piece of mail containing such communication is posted, if sent by mail. As used herein, “Business Day” means a day that is not a Saturday, Sunday or a day on which banking institutions in the city to which the notice or communication is to be sent are not required to be open.

6


11. Specific Performance. Grantee expressly agrees that the Company will be irreparably damaged if the provisions of this Agreement and the Plan are not specifically enforced. Upon a breach or threatened breach of the terms, covenants and/or conditions of this Agreement or the Plan by Grantee, the Company will, in addition to all other remedies, be entitled to a temporary or permanent injunction, without showing any actual damage, and/or decree for specific performance, in accordance with the provisions hereof and thereof. The Administrator has the power to determine what constitutes a breach or threatened breach of this Agreement or the Plan. Any such determinations will be final and conclusive and binding upon Grantee.

12. No Waiver. No waiver of any breach or condition of this Agreement will be deemed to be a waiver of any other or subsequent breach or condition, whether of like or different nature.

13. Grantee Undertaking. Grantee hereby agrees to take whatever additional actions and execute whatever additional documents the Company may in its reasonable judgment deem necessary or advisable in order to carry out or effect one or more of the obligations or restrictions imposed on Grantee pursuant to the express provisions of this Agreement.

14. Modification of Rights. The rights of Grantee are subject to modification and termination in certain events as provided in this Agreement and the Plan.

15. Governing Law. This Agreement is governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to its conflict or choice of law principles that might otherwise refer construction or interpretation of this Agreement to the substantive law of another jurisdiction.

16. Counterparts; Facsimile Execution. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed to be an original, but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument. Facsimile execution and delivery of this Agreement or electronic transmission of signatures in portable document format (pdf) is legal, valid and binding execution and delivery for all purposes.

17. Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including the Notice of Restricted Share Award) and the Plan, constitute the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersede all previously written or oral negotiations, commitments, representations and agreements with respect thereto.

18. Severability. In the event one or more of the provisions of this Agreement should, for any reason, be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability will not affect any other provisions of this Agreement, and this Agreement will be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.

19. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. GRANTEE HEREBY EXPRESSLY, IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT AND FOR ANY COUNTERCLAIM THEREIN.

20. Other Agreements.

7


(a) Grantee understands and acknowledges that (i) the Plan is entirely discretionary, (ii) the Company and his/her employer have reserved the right to amend, suspend or terminate the Plan at any time, (iii) the grant of Restricted Shares does not in any way create any contractual or other right to receive additional grants of Restricted Shares (or benefits in lieu of Restricted Shares) at any time or in any amount and (iv) all determinations with respect to any additional grants, including (without limitation) the times when Restricted Shares will be granted, the number of Restricted Shares offered, the purchase price, and the vesting schedule, will be at the sole discretion of the Company.

(b) The value of these Restricted Shares shall be an extraordinary item of compensation outside the scope of Grantee’s employment contract, if any, and shall not be considered a part of Grantee’s normal or expected compensation for purposes of calculating severance, resignation, redundancy or end-of-service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits or similar payments.

(c) Grantee understands and acknowledges that participation in the Plan ceases upon termination of Grantee’s Service for any reason, except as may explicitly be provided otherwise in the Plan or this Agreement.

Grantee consents to the collection, use and transfer of personal data (the “Data”) for use by the Company, its Affiliates and third parties as necessary or appropriate to administer the Plan. Grantee may, at any time, view the Data, require any necessary modifications of Data or withdraw the consents set forth in this subsection by contacting the Human Resources Department of the Company in writing.

Grantee hereby agrees that in connection with any underwritten public offering by the Company of its equity securities pursuant to an effective registration statement filed under the Act, including the Company’s initial public offering, Grantee shall not, directly or indirectly, engage in any transaction prohibited by the underwriter, or sell, make any short sale of, contract to sell, transfer the economic risk of ownership in, loan, hypothecate, pledge, grant any option for the purchase of, or otherwise dispose or transfer for value or agree to engage in any of the foregoing transactions with respect to any Shares without the prior written consent of the Company or its underwriters, for such period of time after the effective date of such registration statement as may be requested by the Company or such underwriters. Such period of time shall not exceed one hundred eighty (180) days and may be required by the underwriter as a market condition of the offering; provided, however, that if either (i) during the last seventeen (17) days of such one hundred eighty (180) day period, the Company issues an earnings release or material news or a material event relating to the Company occurs or (ii) prior to the expiration of such one hundred eighty (180) day period, the Company announces that it will release earnings results during the sixteen (16) day period beginning on the last day of the one hundred eighty (180) day period, then the restrictions imposed during such one hundred eighty (180) day period shall continue to apply until the expiration of the eighteen (18) day period beginning on the issuance of the earnings release or the occurrence of the material news or material event; provided, further, that in the event the Company or the underwriter requests that the one hundred eighty (180) day period be extended or modified pursuant to then-applicable law, rules, regulations or trading policies, the restrictions imposed during the one hundred eighty (180) day period shall continue to apply to the extent requested by the Company or the underwriter to comply with such law, rules, regulations or trading policies.
