1997 EMPLOYEE SHARE PURCHASE PLAN

As Adopted September 10, 1997

As Amended August 27, 1999, September 21, 2000, August 29, 2002, September 30, 2003, and August 4, 2004

     1. Establishment of Plan. Flextronics International Ltd. (the “Company”) proposes to grant options for purchase of the Company’s Ordinary Shares to eligible employees of the Company and its Participating Subsidiaries (as hereinafter defined) pursuant to this Employee Share Purchase Plan (this "Plan”). For purposes of this Plan, “Parent Corporation” and “Subsidiary” (collectively, “Participating Subsidiaries”) shall have the same meanings as “parent corporation” and “subsidiary corporation” in Sections 424(e) and 424(f), respectively, of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code”). “Participating Subsidiaries” are Parent Corporations or Subsidiaries that the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) designates from time to time as corporations that shall participate in this Plan. The Company intends this Plan to qualify as an “employee stock purchase plan” under Section 423 of the Code (including any amendments to or replacements of such Section), and this Plan shall be so construed. Any term not expressly defined in this Plan but defined for purposes of Section 423 of the Code shall have the same definition herein. A total of 5,400,000* Ordinary Shares of the Company are reserved for issuance under this Plan. Such number shall be subject to adjustments effected in accordance with Section 14 of this Plan.

     2. Purpose. The purpose of this Plan is to provide eligible employees of the Company and Participating Subsidiaries with a convenient means of acquiring an equity interest in the Company through payroll deductions, to enhance such employees’ sense of participation in the affairs of the Company and Participating Subsidiaries, and to provide an incentive for continued employment.

     3. Administration. This Plan shall be administered by the Board or by a committee of not less than two members of the Board appointed to administer this Plan (the “Committee”). As used in this Plan, references to the “Committee” shall mean either such committee or the Board if no committee has been established. Subject to the provisions of this Plan and the limitations of Section 423 of the Code or any successor provision in the Code, all questions of interpretation or application of this Plan shall be determined by the Committee and its decisions shall be final and binding upon all participants. Members of the Committee shall receive no compensation for their services in connection with the administration of this Plan, other than standard fees as established from time to time by the Board for services rendered by Board members serving on Board committees. All expenses incurred in connection with the administration of this Plan shall be paid by the Company.

     4. Eligibility. Any employee of the Company or the Participating Subsidiaries is eligible to participate in an Offering Period (as hereinafter defined) under this Plan except the following:

           (a) employees who are not employed by the Company or Participating Subsidiaries one month before the beginning of such Offering Period;

           (b) employees who are customarily employed for twenty (20) hours or less per week;

           (c) employees who are customarily employed for five (5) months or less in a calendar year;

           (d) employees who, together with any other person whose shares would be attributed to such employee pursuant to Section 424(d) of the Code, own shares or hold options to purchase shares possessing five percent (5%) or more of the total combined voting power or value of all classes of shares of the Company or any of its Participating Subsidiaries or who, as a result of being granted an option under this Plan with respect to such Offering Period, would own shares or hold options to purchase shares possessing five percent (5%) or more of the total combined voting power or value of all classes of shares of the Company or any of its Participating Subsidiaries; and


*   The initial number of shares reserved for issuance was 600,000 shares. Amendments to increase the number of shares reserved for issuance were approved by shareholders on: August 27, 1999 (to 1,600,000 shares); September 21, 2000 (to 2,400,000 shares); August 29, 2002 (to 3,400,000 shares); September 30, 2003 (to 4,400,000 shares); and September 23, 2004 (to 5,400,000 shares). All share numbers reflect the two-for-one stock splits effected as a bonus issue (the Singapore equivalent of a stock dividend) paid on December 22, 1998, December 22, 1999 and October 16, 2000.

 


 

          (e) individuals who provide services to the Company or any of its Participating Subsidiaries as independent contractors who are reclassified as common law employees for any purpose other than federal income and employment tax purposes.

     5. Offering Dates. The offering periods of this Plan (each, an “Offering Period”) shall be of six (6) months duration commencing on December 1 and June 1 of each year and ending on May 31 and November 30 of each year. Each Offering Period shall consist of one (1) six-month purchase period (a “Purchase Period”) during which payroll deductions of the participants are accumulated under this Plan. The first Offering Period shall begin on December 1, 1997. The first business day of each Offering Period is referred to as the “Offering Date”. The last business day of each Purchase Period is referred to as the "Purchase Date”. The Board shall have the power to change the duration of Offering Periods or Purchase Periods with respect to offerings (and specifically shall have the power to change the duration of Offering Periods from six (6) months to twenty-four (24) months) without shareholder approval if such change is announced at least fifteen (15) days prior to the scheduled beginning of the first Offering Period or Purchase Period to be affected. The Board may amend or terminate any Offering Period that commences after November 30, 2004, if the Board determines that a change in applicable accounting rules or a change in applicable laws, renders an amendment or termination desirable.

     6. Participation in this Plan. Eligible employees may become participants in an Offering Period under this Plan on the first Offering Date after satisfying the eligibility requirements by delivering a subscription agreement to the Company’s treasury department (the “Treasury Department”) not later than fifteen (15) days before such Offering Date unless a later time for filing the subscription agreement authorizing payroll deductions is set by the Committee for all eligible employees with respect to a given Offering Period. An eligible employee who does not deliver a subscription agreement to the Treasury Department by such date after becoming eligible to participate in such Offering Period shall not participate in that Offering Period or any subsequent Offering Period unless such employee enrolls in this Plan by filing a subscription agreement with the Treasury Department not later than fifteen (15) days preceding a subsequent Offering Date. Once an employee becomes a participant in an Offering Period, such employee will automatically participate in the Offering Period commencing immediately following the last day of the prior Offering Period unless the employee withdraws from this Plan or terminates further participation in the Offering Period as set forth in Section 11 below. Such participant is not required to file any additional subscription agreement in order to continue participation in this Plan.

     7. Grant of Option on Enrollment. Enrollment by an eligible employee in this Plan with respect to an Offering Period will constitute the grant (as of the Offering Date) by the Company to such employee of an option to purchase on the Purchase Date up to that number of whole Ordinary Shares of the Company determined by dividing (a) the amount accumulated in such employee’s payroll deduction account during such Purchase Period by (b) the lower of (i) eighty-five percent (85%) of the fair market value of an Ordinary Share of the Company on the Offering Date (but in no event less than the par value of the Company’s Ordinary Shares), or (ii) eighty-five percent (85%) of the fair market value of an Ordinary Share of the Company on the Purchase Date (but in no event less than the par value of the Company’s Ordinary Shares) and rounding down to the nearest whole number, provided, however, that the number of Ordinary Shares of the Company subject to any option granted pursuant to this Plan shall not exceed the lesser of (a) the maximum number of shares set by the Committee pursuant to Section 10(c) below with respect to the applicable Purchase Date, or (b) the maximum number of shares which may be purchased pursuant to Section 10(b) below with respect to the applicable Purchase Date. The fair market value of the Company’s Ordinary Shares shall be determined as provided in Section 8 hereof.

     8. Purchase Price. The purchase price per share at which an Ordinary Share of the Company will be sold in any Offering Period shall be eighty-five percent (85%) of the lesser of:

           (a) The fair market value on the Offering Date; or

           (b) The fair market value on the Purchase Date.

           Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event may the purchase price of an Ordinary Share of the Company be less than the par value. For purposes of this Plan, the term “Fair Market Value” means, as of any date, the value of an Ordinary Share of the Company determined as follows:

2


 

(a)   if such Ordinary Shares are then quoted on the Nasdaq National Market, the closing price on the Nasdaq National Market on the date of determination as reported in The Wall Street Journal;

(b)   if such Ordinary Shares are publicly traded and are then listed on a national securities exchange, the closing price on the date of determination on the principal national securities exchange on which the Ordinary Shares are listed or admitted to trading as reported in The Wall Street Journal;

(c)   if such Ordinary Shares are publicly traded but are not quoted on the Nasdaq National Market nor listed or admitted to trading on a national securities exchange, the average of the closing bid and asked prices on the date of determination as reported in The Wall Street Journal;

(d)   if none of the foregoing is applicable, by the Board in good faith.

     9. Payment Of Purchase Price; Changes In Payroll Deductions; Issuance Of Shares.

           (a) The purchase price of the shares is accumulated by regular payroll deductions made during each Offering Period. The deductions are made as a percentage of the participant’s compensation in one percent (1%) increments not less than two percent (2%), nor greater than ten percent (10%) or such lower limit set by the Committee. Compensation shall mean base salary, overtime pay, commissions, bonuses, and shift premiums not to exceed $250,000 per year, provided however, that for purposes of determining a participant’s base salary, any election by such participant to reduce his or her regular cash remuneration under Sections 125 or 401(k) of the Code shall be treated as if the participant did not make such election. Payroll deductions shall commence on the first payday following the Offering Date and shall continue to the end of the Offering Period unless sooner altered or terminated as provided in this Plan.

           (b) A participant may lower (but not increase) the rate of payroll deductions during an Offering Period by filing with the Treasury Department a new authorization for payroll deductions, in which case the new rate shall become effective for the next payroll period commencing more than fifteen (15) days after the Treasury Department’s receipt of the authorization and shall continue for the remainder of the Offering Period unless changed as described below. Such change in the rate of payroll deductions may be made at any time during an Offering Period, but not more than one (1) change may be made effective during any Offering Period. A participant may increase or decrease the rate of payroll deductions for any subsequent Offering Period by filing with the Treasury Department a new authorization for payroll deductions not later than fifteen (15) days before the beginning of such Offering Period.

           (c) All payroll deductions made for a participant are credited to his or her account under this Plan and are deposited with the general funds of the Company. No interest accrues on the payroll deductions. All payroll deductions received or held by the Company may be used by the Company for any corporate purpose, and the Company shall not be obligated to segregate such payroll deductions.

           (d) On each Purchase Date, so long as this Plan remains in effect and provided that the participant has not submitted a signed and completed withdrawal form before that date which notifies the Company that the participant wishes to withdraw from that Offering Period under this Plan and have all payroll deductions accumulated in the account maintained on behalf of the participant as of that date returned to the participant, the Company shall apply the funds then in the participant’s account to the purchase of whole Ordinary Shares of the Company reserved under the option granted to such participant with respect to the Offering Period to the extent that such option is exercisable on the Purchase Date. The purchase price per share shall be as specified in Section 8 of this Plan. Any cash remaining in a participant’s account after such purchase of shares shall be refunded to such participant in cash, without interest; provided, however that any amount remaining in such participant’s account on a Purchase Date which is less than the amount necessary to purchase a full Ordinary Share of the Company shall be carried forward, without interest, into the next Purchase Period or Offering Period, as the case may be. In the event that this Plan has been oversubscribed, all funds not used to purchase shares on the Purchase Date shall be returned to the participant, without interest. No Ordinary Shares shall be purchased on a Purchase Date on behalf of any employee whose participation in this Plan has terminated prior to such Purchase Date.

3


 

           (e) As promptly as practicable after the Purchase Date, the Company shall issue shares for the participant’s benefit representing the shares purchased upon exercise of his or her option.

           (f) During a participant’s lifetime, such participant’s option to purchase shares hereunder is exercisable only by him or her. The participant will have no interest or voting right in shares covered by his or her option until such option has been exercised.

     10. Limitations on Shares to be Purchased.

           (a) No participant shall be entitled to purchase shares under this Plan at a rate which, when aggregated with his or her rights to purchase shares under all other employee share purchase plans of the Company or any Subsidiary, exceeds $25,000 in fair market value, determined as of the Offering Date (or such other limit as may be imposed by the Code) for each calendar year in which the employee participates in this Plan.

           (b) No more than two hundred percent (200%) of the number of shares determined by using eighty-five percent (85%) of the fair market value of an Ordinary Share of the Company on the Offering Date as the denominator may be purchased by a participant on any single Purchase Date.

           (c) No participant shall be entitled to purchase more than the Maximum Share Amount (as defined below) on any single Purchase Date. Not less than thirty (30) days prior to the commencement of any Offering Period, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, set a maximum number of shares which may be purchased by any employee at any single Purchase Date (hereinafter the "Maximum Share Amount”). Until otherwise determined by the Committee, there shall be no Maximum Share Amount. In no event shall the Maximum Share Amount, if any, exceed the amounts permitted under Section 10(b) above. If a new Maximum Share Amount is set, then all participants must be notified of such Maximum Share Amount prior to the commencement of the next Offering Period. Once the Maximum Share Amount is set, it shall continue to apply with respect to all succeeding Purchase Dates and Offering Periods unless revised by the Committee as set forth above.

           (d) If the number of shares to be purchased on a Purchase Date by all employees participating in this Plan exceeds the number of shares then available for issuance under this Plan, then the Company will make a pro rata allocation of the remaining shares in as uniform a manner as shall be reasonably practicable and as the Committee shall determine to be equitable. In such event, the Company shall give written notice of such reduction of the number of shares to be purchased under a participant’s option to each participant affected thereby.

           (e) Any payroll deductions accumulated in a participant’s account which are not used to purchase shares due to the limitations in this Section 10 shall be returned to the participant as soon as practicable after the end of the applicable Purchase Period, without interest.

     11. Withdrawal.

           (a) Each participant may withdraw from an Offering Period under this Plan by signing and delivering to the Treasury Department a written notice to that effect on a form provided for such purpose. Such withdrawal may be elected at any time at least fifteen (15) days prior to the end of an Offering Period.

           (b) Upon withdrawal from this Plan, the accumulated payroll deductions shall be returned to the withdrawn participant, without interest, and his or her interest in this Plan shall terminate. In the event a participant voluntarily elects to withdraw from this Plan, he or she may not resume his or her participation in this Plan during the same Offering Period, but he or she may participate in any Offering Period under this Plan which commences on a date subsequent to such withdrawal by filing a new authorization for payroll deductions in the same manner as set forth above for initial participation in this Plan.

           (c) If the purchase price on the first day of any current Offering Period in which a participant is enrolled is higher than the purchase price on the first day of any subsequent Offering Period, the Company will automatically enroll such participant in the subsequent Offering Period. Any funds accumulated in a participant’s account prior to the first day of such subsequent Offering Period will be applied to the purchase of shares on the Purchase Date immediately prior

4


 

     to the first day of such subsequent Offering Period. A participant does not need to file any forms with the Company to automatically be enrolled in the subsequent Offering Period

     12. Termination of Employment. Termination of a participant’s employment for any reason, including retirement, death or the failure of a participant to remain an eligible employee of the Company or of a Participating Subsidiary, immediately terminates his or her participation in this Plan. In such event, the payroll deductions credited to the participant’s account will be returned to him or her or, in the case of his or her death, to his or her legal representative, without interest. For purposes of this Section 12, an employee will not be deemed to have terminated employment or failed to remain in the continuous employ of the Company or of a Participating Subsidiary in the case of sick leave, military leave, or any other leave of absence approved by the Board; provided that such leave is for a period of not more than ninety (90) days or reemployment upon the expiration of such leave is guaranteed by contract or statute.

     13. Return of Payroll Deductions. In the event a participant’s interest in this Plan is terminated by withdrawal, termination of employment or otherwise, or in the event this Plan is terminated by the Board, the Company shall promptly deliver to the participant all payroll deductions credited to such participant’s account. No interest shall accrue on the payroll deductions of a participant in this Plan.

     14. Capital Changes. Subject to any required action by the shareholders of the Company, the number of Ordinary Shares covered by each option under this Plan which has not yet been exercised and the number of Ordinary Shares which have been authorized for issuance under this Plan but have not yet been placed under option (collectively, the “Reserves”), as well as the price of each Ordinary Share covered by each option under this Plan which has not yet been exercised, shall be proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number of issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares of the Company resulting from a stock split or the payment of a stock dividend (but only on the Ordinary Shares) or any other increase or decrease in the number of issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares effected without receipt of any consideration by the Company; provided, however, that (a) conversion of any convertible securities of the Company shall not be deemed to have been “effected without receipt of consideration” and (b) no such adjustment shall be made if as a result, the purchase price for each Ordinary Share shall fall below the par value thereof and if such adjustment would but for this paragraph (b) result in the purchase price being less than the par value of an Ordinary Share, the purchase price payable shall be the par value of an Ordinary Share. Such adjustment shall be made by the Committee, whose determination shall be final, binding and conclusive. Except as expressly provided herein, no issue by the Company of shares of any class, or securities convertible into shares of any class, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number or price of Ordinary Shares subject to an option.

     In the event of the proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Offering Period will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed action, unless otherwise provided by the Committee. The Committee may, in the exercise of its sole discretion in such instances, declare that the options under this Plan shall terminate as of a date fixed by the Committee and give each participant the right to exercise his or her option as to all of the optioned shares, including shares which would not otherwise be exercisable. In the event of (i) a merger or consolidation in which the Company is not the surviving corporation (other than a merger or consolidation with a wholly-owned subsidiary, a reincorporation of the Company in a different jurisdiction, or other transaction in which there is no substantial change in the shareholders of the Company or their relative share holdings and the options under this Plan are assumed, converted or replaced by the successor corporation, which assumption will be binding on all participants), (ii) a merger in which the Company is the surviving corporation but after which the shareholders of the Company immediately prior to such merger (other than any shareholder that merges, or which owns or controls another corporation that merges, with the Company in such merger) cease to own their shares or other equity interest in the Company, (iii) the sale of substantially all of the assets of the Company, or (iv) the acquisition, sale, or transfer of more than 50% of the outstanding shares of the Company by tender offer or similar transaction, each option under this Plan may be assumed or an equivalent option may be substituted by such successor corporation or a parent or subsidiary of such successor corporation. In the event such surviving corporation refuses to assume or substitute options under this Plan, (i) this Plan will terminate upon the consummation of such transaction, unless otherwise provided by the Committee, and (ii) the Committee may declare that the options under this Plan shall terminate as of a date fixed by the Committee, and give each Participant the right to exercise such participant’s option as to all of the optioned shares. If the Committee makes an option fully exercisable in the event of a merger, consolidation or sale of assets, the Committee shall notify the participant that the option shall be fully exercisable for a certain period, and the option and this Plan will terminate upon the expiration of such period.

5


 

     The Committee may, if it so determines in the exercise of its sole discretion, also make provision for adjusting the Reserves, as well as the price per share of Ordinary Shares covered by each outstanding option, in the event that the Company effects one or more reorganizations, recapitalizations, rights offerings or other increases or reductions of its outstanding Ordinary Shares, or in the event of the Company being consolidated with or merged into any other corporation, provided however, that no such adjustment shall be made if as a result, the purchase price for each Ordinary Share would fall below the par value thereof and if such adjustment would result in the purchase price being less than the par value of an Ordinary Share, the purchase price payable shall be the par value of an Ordinary Share.

     15. Nonassignability. Neither payroll deductions credited to a participant’s account nor any rights with regard to the exercise of an option or to receive shares under this Plan may be assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of in any way (other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution) by the participant. Any such attempt at assignment, transfer, pledge or other disposition shall be void and without effect.

     16. Reports. Individual accounts will be maintained for each participant in this Plan. Each participant shall receive promptly after the end of each Purchase Period a report of his or her account setting forth the total payroll deductions accumulated, the number of shares purchased, the per share price thereof and the remaining cash balance, if any, carried forward to the next Purchase Period or Offering Period, as the case may be.

     17. Notice of Disposition. Each participant shall notify the Company if the participant disposes of any of the shares purchased in any Offering Period pursuant to this Plan if such disposition occurs within two (2) years from the Offering Date or within one (1) year from the Purchase Date on which such shares were purchased (the “Notice Period”). Unless such participant is disposing of any of such shares during the Notice Period, such participant shall keep the certificates representing such shares in his or her name (and not in the name of a nominee) during the Notice Period. The Company may, at any time during the Notice Period, place a legend or legends on any certificate representing shares acquired pursuant to this Plan requesting the Company’s transfer agent to notify the Company of any transfer of the shares. The obligation of the participant to provide such notice shall continue notwithstanding the placement of any such legend on the certificates.

     18. No Rights to Continued Employment. Neither this Plan nor the grant of any option hereunder shall confer any right on any employee to remain in the employ of the Company or any Participating Subsidiary, or restrict the right of the Company or any Participating Subsidiary to terminate such employee’s employment.

     19. Equal Rights And Privileges. All eligible employees shall have equal rights and privileges with respect to this Plan so that this Plan qualifies as an “employee stock purchase plan” within the meaning of Section 423 or any successor provision of the Code and the related regulations. Any provision of this Plan which is inconsistent with Section 423 or any successor provision of the Code shall, without further act or amendment by the Company, the Committee or the Board, be reformed to comply with the requirements of Section 423. This Section 19 shall take precedence over all other provisions in this Plan.

     20. Notices. All notices or other communications by a participant to the Company under or in connection with this Plan shall be deemed to have been duly given when received in the form specified by the Company at the location, or by the person, designated by the Company for the receipt thereof.

     21. Term; Shareholder Approval. This Plan will become effective on the date that it is adopted by the Board. This Plan shall be approved by the shareholders of the Company, in any manner permitted by applicable corporate law, within twelve (12) months before or after the date this Plan is adopted by the Board. No purchase of shares pursuant to this Plan shall occur prior to such shareholder approval. This Plan shall continue until the earlier to occur of (a) termination of this Plan by the Board (which termination may be effected by the Board at any time), (b) issuance of all of the Ordinary Shares reserved for issuance under this Plan, or (c) ten (10) years from the adoption of this Plan by the Board.

     22. Conditions Upon Issuance of Shares; Limitation on Sale of Shares. Shares shall not be issued with respect to an option unless the exercise of such option and the issuance and delivery of such shares pursuant thereto shall comply with all applicable provisions of law, domestic or foreign, including, without limitation, the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, and the

6


 

requirements of any stock exchange or automated quotation system upon which the shares may then be listed, and shall be further subject to the approval of counsel for the Company with respect to such compliance.

     23. Applicable Law. The Plan shall be governed by the substantive laws of Singapore.

     24. Amendment or Termination of this Plan. The Board may at any time amend, terminate or extend the term of this Plan, except that any such termination cannot affect options previously granted under this Plan, nor may any amendment make any change in an option previously granted which would adversely affect the right of any participant, nor may any amendment be made without approval of the shareholders of the Company obtained in accordance with Section 21 hereof within twelve (12) months of the adoption of such amendment (or earlier if required by Section 21) if such amendment would:

           (a) increase the number of shares that may be issued under this Plan; or

           (b) change the designation of the employees (or class of employees) eligible for participation in this Plan.

2001 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN

As Adopted August 13, 2001 and amended through June 29, 2004

1. PURPOSE

      The purpose of this Plan is to provide incentives to attract, retain and motivate eligible persons whose present and potential contributions are important to the success of the Company, its Parent and Subsidiaries, by offering them an opportunity to participate in the Company’s future performance through grants of Awards. Capitalized terms not defined in the text are defined in Section 21.

2. SHARES SUBJECT TO THE PLAN

2.1 Number of Shares Available

      Subject to Sections 2.2 and 15, the total number of Shares reserved and available for grant and issuance pursuant to this Plan will be 7,000,000 Shares plus shares that are subject to issuance upon exercise of an Award but cease to be subject to such Award for any reason other than exercise of such Award. In addition, any authorized shares not issued or subject to outstanding grants under the Company’s 1993 Share Option Plan, 1997 Interim Option Plan, 1998 Interim Option Plan, 1999 Interim Option Plan, ASIC International, Inc. Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan, Wave Optics, Inc. 1997 Share Option Plan, Wave Optics, Inc. 2000 Share Option Plan, Chatham Technologies, Inc. Stock Option Plan, Chatham Technologies, Inc. 1997 Stock Option Plan, IEC Holdings Limited 1997 Share Option Scheme, Palo Alto Products International Private Ltd 1996 Share Option Plan, The DII Group, Inc. 1994 Stock Incentive Plan, The DII Group, Inc. 1993 Stock Option Plan, Orbit Semiconductor, Inc. 1994 Stock Incentive Plan, Telcom Global Solutions Holdings, Inc. 2000 Equity Incentive Plan, Telcom Global Solutions, Inc. 2000 Stock Option Plan, KMOS Semi-Customs, Inc. 1989 Stock Option Plan, and KMOS Semi-Customs, Inc. 1990 Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan, (each a “PRIOR Plan” and collectively, the “PRIOR PLANS”) that are forfeited and/or that are issuable upon exercise of options granted pursuant to the Prior Plans that expire or become unexercisable for any reason without having been exercised in full, will no longer be available for grant and issuance under the Prior Plans, but will be available for grant and issuance under this Plan. At all times the Company shall reserve and keep available a sufficient number of Shares as shall be required to satisfy the requirements of all outstanding Awards granted under this Plan. No more than 30,000,000 Shares shall be issued as ISOs and no more than 10,000,000 Shares shall be issued as Stock Bonuses. No more than 2,000,000 Shares may be issued and outstanding at any point during the term of this Plan pursuant to Awards granted under Section 20 of this Plan.

2.2 Adjustment of Shares

      Should any change be made to the Shares issuable under the Plan by reason of any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, combination of shares, exchange of shares or other change affecting the outstanding Shares as a class without the Company’s receipt of consideration, then appropriate adjustments shall be made to (i) the maximum number and/or class of securities issuable under the Plan, (ii) the maximum number and/or class of securities for which any Participant may be granted Awards over the term of the Plan, (iii) the number and/or class of securities and price per Share in effect under each Award outstanding under Sections 5, 7, and 20, and (iv) the class of securities for which automatic Option grants are to be subsequently made to newly elected or continuing Outside Directors under Section 7. Such adjustments to the outstanding Awards are to be effected in a manner which shall preclude the enlargement or dilution of rights and benefits under such Awards, provided, however, that (i) fractions of a Share will not be issued but will be replaced by a cash payment equal to the Fair Market Value of such fraction of a Share, as determined by the Committee, and (ii) no such adjustment shall be made if as a result, the Exercise Price would fall below the par value of a Share and if such adjustment would but for this paragraph (ii) result in the Exercise Price being less than the par value of a Share, the Exercise Price payable shall be the par value of a Share. The adjustments determined by the Committee shall be final, binding and conclusive. The repricing, replacement or regranting of any previously granted Award,

 


 

through cancellation or by lowering the Exercise Price or Purchase Price of such Award, shall be prohibited unless the shareholders of the Company first approve such repricing, replacement or regranting.

3. ELIGIBILITY

      All Awards may be granted to employees, officers and directors of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary of the Company. No person will be eligible to receive more than 4,000,000 Shares in any calendar year under this Plan pursuant to the grant of Awards hereunder; provided, however, that no Outside Director will be eligible to receive more than 50,000 Shares, in the aggregate, in any calendar year under this Plan pursuant to the grant of Awards hereunder. A person may be granted more than one Award under this Plan.

4. ADMINISTRATION

4.1 Committee Authority

      This Plan will be administered by the Committee or by the Board acting as the Committee. Except for automatic grants to Outside Directors pursuant to Section 7 hereof, and subject to the general purposes, terms and conditions of this Plan, and to the direction of the Board, the Committee will have full power to implement and carry out this Plan.

4.2 Committee Discretion

      Except for automatic grants to Outside Directors pursuant to Section 7 hereof, any determination made by the Committee with respect to any Award will be made in its sole discretion at the time of grant of the Award or, unless in contravention of any express term of this Plan or Award, at any later time, and such determination will be final and binding on the Company and on all persons having an interest in any Award under this Plan. The Committee may delegate to one or more officers of the Company the authority to grant an Award under this Plan to Participants who are not Insiders of the Company.

5. OPTIONS

      The Committee may grant Options to eligible persons and will determine whether such Options will be Incentive Stock Options within the meaning of the Code (“ISOs”) or Nonqualified Stock Options (“NQSOs”),

2


 

the number of Shares subject to the Option, the Exercise Price of the Option, the period during which the Option may be exercised, and all other terms and conditions of the Option, subject to the following:

5.1 Form of Option Grant

      Each Option granted under this Plan will be evidenced by an Award Agreement which will expressly identify the Option as an ISO or an NQSO (“STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT”), and, except as otherwise required by the terms of Section 7 hereof, will be in such form and contain such provisions (which need not be the same for each Participant) as the Committee may from time to time approve, and which will comply with and be subject to the terms and conditions of this Plan.

5.2 Date of Grant

      The date of grant of an Option will be the date on which the Committee makes the determination to grant such Option, unless otherwise specified by the Committee. The Stock Option Agreement and a copy of this Plan will be delivered to the Participant within a reasonable time after the granting of the Option.

5.3 Exercise Period

      Options may be exercisable within the times or upon the events determined by the Committee as set forth in the Stock Option Agreement governing such Option; provided, however, that no Option will be exercisable after the expiration of ten (10) years from the date the Option is granted; and provided further that (i) no ISO granted to a person who directly or by attribution owns more than ten percent (10%) of the total combined voting power of all classes of shares or stock of the Company or of any Parent or Subsidiary of the Company (“TEN PERCENT SHAREHOLDER”) will be exercisable after the expiration of five (5) years from the date the ISO is granted and (ii) no Option granted to a person who is not an employee of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary of the Company on the date of grant of that Option will be exercisable after the expiration of five (5) years from the date the Option is granted. The Committee also may provide for Options to become exercisable at one time or from time to time, periodically or otherwise, in such number of Shares or percentage of Shares as the Committee determines.

5.4 Exercise Price

      The Exercise Price of an Option will be determined by the Committee when the Option is granted; provided that: (i) the Exercise Price will be not less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date of grant; and (ii) the Exercise Price of any ISO granted to a Ten Percent Shareholder will not be less than 110% of the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date of grant. In no event may the Exercise Price of an Option be less than the par value of the Shares. Payment for the Shares purchased may be made in accordance with Section 6 of this Plan.

5.5 Method of Exercise

      (a) Options may be exercised only by delivery to the Company (or as the Company may direct) of a written stock option exercise agreement (the “Exercise Agreement”) (in the case of a written Exercise Agreement, in the form approved by the Board or the Committee, which need not be the same for each Participant), in each case stating the number of Shares being purchased, the restrictions imposed on the Shares purchased under such Exercise Agreement, if any, and such representations and agreements regarding Participant’s investment intent and access to information and other matters, if any, as may be required or desirable by the Company to comply with applicable securities laws, together with payment in full of the Exercise Price for the number of Shares being purchased.

      (b) A written Exercise Agreement may be communicated electronically through the use of such security device (including, without limitation, any logon identifier, password, personal identification number, smartcard, digital certificate, digital signature, encryption device, electronic key, and/or other code or any access procedure incorporating any one or more of the foregoing) as may be designated by the Board or the Committee for use in conjunction with the Plan from time to time (“Security Device”), or via an electronic page, site, or environment designated by the Company which is accessible only through the use of such Security Device, and such written Exercise Agreement shall thereby be deemed to have been sent by the designated holder of such Security

3


 

Device. The Company (or its agent) may accept and act upon any written Exercise Agreement issued and/or transmitted through the use of the Participant’s Security Device (whether actually authorized by the Participant or not) as his authentic and duly authorized Exercise Agreement and the Company (or its agent) may treat such Exercise Agreement as valid and binding on the Participant notwithstanding any error, fraud, forgery, lack of clarity or misunderstanding in the terms of such Exercise Agreement. All written Exercise Agreements issued and/or transmitted through the use of the Participant’s Security Device (whether actually authorized by the Participant or not) are irrevocable and binding on the Participant upon transmission to the Company (or as the Company may direct) and the Company (or its agent) shall be entitled to effect, perform or process such Exercise Agreement without the Participant’s further consent and without further reference to the Participant.

      (c) The Company’s records of the Exercise Agreements (whether delivered or communicated electronically or in printed form), and its record of any transactions maintained by any relevant person authorized by the Company relating to or connected with the Plan, whether stored in audio, electronic, printed or other form, shall be binding and conclusive on the Participant and shall be conclusive evidence of such Exercise Agreements and/or transactions. All such records shall be admissible in evidence and, in the case of a written Exercise Agreement which has been communicated electronically, the Participant shall not challenge or dispute the admissibility, reliability, accuracy or the authenticity of the contents of such records merely on the basis that such records were incorporated and/or set out in electronic form or were produced by or are the output of a computer system, and the Participant waives any of his rights (if any) to so object.

5.6 Termination

      Notwithstanding the exercise periods set forth in the Stock Option Agreement, exercise of an Option will always be subject to the following:

  (a) If the Participant is Terminated for any reason except death or Disability, then the Participant may exercise such Participant’s Options only to the extent that such Options would have been exercisable upon the Termination Date no later than three (3) months after the Termination Date (or such shorter or longer time period not exceeding five (5) years as may be determined by the Committee, provided, that any Option which is exercised beyond three (3) months after the Termination Date shall be deemed to be an NQSO), but in any event no later than the expiration date of the Options.

  (b) If the Participant is Terminated because of the Participant’s death or Disability (or the Participant dies within three (3) months after a Termination other than for Cause or because of the Participant’s Disability), then the Participant’s Options may be exercised only to the extent that such Options would have been exercisable by the Participant on the Termination Date and must be exercised by the Participant (or the Participant’s legal representative or authorized assignee) no later than twelve (12) months after the Termination Date (or such shorter or longer time period not exceeding five (5) years as may be determined by the Committee, provided, that any Option which is exercised beyond twelve (12) months after the Termination Date when the Termination is for Participant’s Disability, shall be deemed to be an NQSO), but in any event no later than the expiration date of the Options.

  (c) If the Participant is terminated for Cause, then the Participant’s Options shall expire on such Participant’s Termination Date, or at such later time and on such conditions as are determined by the Committee (but in any event, no later than the expiration date of the Options).

5.7 Limitations on Exercise

      The Committee may specify a reasonable minimum number of Shares that may be purchased on any exercise of an Option, provided that such minimum number will not prevent Participant from exercising the Option for the full number of Shares for which it is then exercisable.

5.8 Limitations on ISO

      The aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the date of grant) of Shares with respect to which ISO are exercisable for the first time by a Participant during any calendar year (under this Plan or under any other incentive stock option plan of the Company, Parent or Subsidiary of the Company) will not exceed US$100,000. If the Fair Market Value of Shares on the date of grant with respect to which ISO are exercisable for the first

4


 

time by a Participant during any calendar year exceeds US$100,000, then the Options for the first US$100,000 worth of Shares to become exercisable in such calendar year will be ISO and the Options for the amount in excess of US$100,000 that become exercisable in that calendar year will be NQSOs. In the event that the Code or the regulations promulgated thereunder are amended after the Effective Date of this Plan to provide for a different limit on the Fair Market Value of Shares permitted to be subject to ISO, such different limit will be automatically incorporated herein and will apply to any Options granted after the effective date of such amendment.

5.9 Modification, Extension or Renewal

      The Committee may modify, extend or renew outstanding Options and authorize the grant of new Options in substitution therefor, provided that any such action may not, without the written consent of a Participant, impair any of such Participant’s rights under any Option previously granted, and provided further that the exercise period of any Option may not in any event be extended beyond the periods specified in Section 5.3. Any outstanding ISO that is modified, extended, renewed or otherwise altered will be treated in accordance with Section 424(h) of the Code.

5.10 No Disqualification

      Notwithstanding any other provision in this Plan, no term of this Plan relating to ISO will be interpreted, amended or altered, nor will any discretion or authority granted under this Plan be exercised, so as to disqualify this Plan under Section 422 of the Code or, without the consent of the Participant affected, to disqualify any ISO under Section 422 of the Code.

6. PAYMENT FOR SHARE PURCHASES

6.1 Payment

      Payment for Shares purchased pursuant to this Plan may be made in cash (by check) or, where expressly approved for the Participant by the Committee and where permitted by law:

  (a) by cancellation of indebtedness of the Company to the Participant;

  (b) by waiver of compensation due or accrued to the Participant for services rendered;

  (c) with respect only to purchases upon exercise of an Option, and provided that a public market for the Company’s Shares exists:

       (i) through a “same day sale” commitment from the Participant and a broker-dealer that is a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers (an “NASD DEALER”) whereby the Participant irrevocably elects to exercise the Option and to sell a portion of the Shares so purchased to pay for the Exercise Price, and whereby the NASD Dealer irrevocably commits upon receipt of such Shares to forward the Exercise Price directly to the Company; or

       (ii)  through a “margin” commitment from the Participant and a NASD Dealer whereby the Participant irrevocably elects to exercise the Option and to pledge the Shares so purchased to the NASD Dealer in a margin account as security for a loan from the NASD Dealer in the amount of the Exercise Price, and whereby the NASD Dealer irrevocably commits upon receipt of such Shares to forward the Exercise Price directly to the Company;

  (d) conversion of a convertible note issued by the Company, the terms of which provide that it is convertible into Shares issuable pursuant to the Plan (with the principal amount and any accrued interest being converted and credited dollar for dollar to the payment of the Exercise Price); or

  (e) by any combination of the foregoing.

In no event, however, may any Outside Director be granted any Options under this Section 7 if such grant is (a) prohibited, or (b) restricted (either absolutely or subject to various securities requirements, whether legal or administrative, being complied with), in the jurisdiction in which such Outside Director is resident under the relevant securities laws of that jurisdiction.

7.3 Initial Grant

      Each Outside Director who first becomes a member of the Board after the Effective Date will automatically be granted an Option for 20,000 Shares (an “INITIAL GRANT”) on the date such Outside Director first becomes a member of the Board. Each Outside Director who became a member of the Board on or prior to the Effective Date and who did not receive a prior option grant (under this Plan or otherwise and from the Company or any of its corporate predecessors) will receive an Initial Grant on the Effective Date.

7.4 Succeeding Grant

      Immediately following each Annual General Meeting of shareholders of the Company, each Outside Director will automatically be granted an Option for 6,000 Shares (a “SUCCEEDING GRANT”), provided, that the Outside Director is a member of the Board on such date and has served continuously as a member of the Board for a period of at least twelve (12) months since the last Option grant (whether an Initial Grant or a Succeeding Grant) to such Outside Director. If less than twelve (12) months has passed, then the number of shares subject to the Succeeding Grant will be pro-rated based on the number of days passed since the last Option grant to such Outside Director, divided by 365 days.

7.5 Vesting and Exercisability

      The date an Outside Director receives an Initial Grant or a Succeeding Grant is referred to in this Plan as the “START DATE” for such Option.

      (a) Initial Grant. Each Initial Grant will vest and be exercisable as to 25% of the Shares on the first one year anniversary of the Start Date for such Initial Grant, and thereafter as to 1/48 of the Shares at the end of each full succeeding month, so long as the Outside Director continuously remains a director or a consultant of the Company.

      (b) Succeeding Grant. Each Succeeding Grant will vest and be exercisable as to 25% of the Shares on the first one year anniversary of the Start Date for such Succeeding Grant, and thereafter as to 1/48 of the Shares at the end of each full succeeding month, so long as the Outside Director continuously remains a director or a consultant of the Company. No Options granted to an Outside Director will be exercisable after the expiration of five (5) years from the date the Option is granted to such Outside Director. If the Outside Director is Terminated, the Outside Director may exercise such Outside Director’s Options only to the extent that such Options would have been exercisable upon the Termination Date for such period as set forth in Section 5.6. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, in the event of a Corporate Transaction described in Section 15.1, the vesting of all Options granted to Outside Directors pursuant to this Section 7 will accelerate and such Options will become exercisable in full prior to the consummation of such event at such times and on such conditions as the Committee determines, and must be exercised, if at all, within three (3) months of the consummation of said event. Any Options not exercised within such three-month period shall expire. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, in the event of a Hostile Take-Over, the Outside Director shall have a thirty-day period in which to surrender to the Company each option held by him or her under this Plan for a period of at least six (6) months. The Outside Director shall in return be entitled to a cash distribution from the Company in an amount equal to the excess of (i) the Take-Over Price of the Shares at the time subject to the surrendered Option (whether or not the Option is otherwise at the time exercisable for those Shares) over

6


 

(ii) the aggregate Exercise Price payable for such Shares. Such cash distribution shall be paid within five (5) days following the surrender of the Option to the Company. Neither the approval of the Committee nor the consent of the Board shall be required in connection with such option surrender and cash distribution. The Shares subject to each Option surrendered in connection with the Hostile Take-Over shall NOT be available for subsequent issuance under the Plan.

7.6 Exercise Price

      The Exercise Price of an Option pursuant to an Initial Grant and Succeeding Grant shall be the Fair Market Value of the Shares, at the time that the Option is granted.

8. WITHHOLDING TAXES

8.1 Withholding Generally

      Whenever Shares are to be issued in satisfaction of Awards granted under this Plan, the Company may require the Participant to remit to the Company an amount sufficient to satisfy federal, state and local withholding tax requirements prior to the delivery of any certificate or certificates for such Shares. Whenever, under this Plan, payments in satisfaction of Awards are to be made in cash, such payment will be net of an amount sufficient to satisfy federal, state, and local withholding tax requirements.

8.2 Stock Withholding

      When, under applicable tax laws, a Participant incurs tax liability in connection with the exercise or vesting of any Award that is subject to tax withholding and the Participant is obligated to pay the Company the amount required to be withheld, the Committee may in its sole discretion, and subject to compliance with all applicable laws and regulations, allow the Participant to satisfy the minimum withholding tax obligation by electing to have the Company withhold from the Shares to be issued that number of Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the minimum amount required to be withheld, determined on the date that the amount of tax to be withheld is to be determined. All elections by a Participant to have Shares withheld for this purpose will be made in accordance with the requirements established by the Committee and be in writing in a form acceptable to the Committee.

9. TRANSFERABILITY

      9.1 Except as otherwise provided in this Section 9, Awards granted under this Plan, and any interest therein, will not be transferable or assignable by a Participant, and may not be made subject to execution, attachment or similar process, otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution or as determined by the Committee and set forth in the Award Agreement with respect to Awards. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) Participants may transfer or assign their Options to Family Members through a gift or a domestic relations order (and not in a transfer for value), and (ii) if the terms of the applicable instrument evidencing the grant of an Option so provide, Participants who reside outside of the United States and Singapore may assign their Options to a financial institution outside of the United States and Singapore that has been approved by the Committee, in accordance with the terms of the applicable instrument, subject to Code regulations providing that any transfer of an ISO may cause such ISO to become a NQSO. The Participant shall be solely responsible for effecting any such assignment, and for ensuring that such assignment is valid, legal and binding under all applicable laws. The Committee shall have the discretion to adopt such rules as it deems necessary to ensure that any assignment is in compliance with all applicable laws.

9.2 All Awards other than NQSO’s

      All Awards other than NQSO’s shall be exercisable: (i) during the Participant’s lifetime, only by (A) the Participant, or (B) the Participant’s guardian or legal representative; and (ii) after Participant’s death, by the legal representative of the Participant’s heirs or legatees.

7


 

9.3 NQSOs

      Unless otherwise restricted by the Committee, an NQSO shall be exercisable: (i) during the Participant’s lifetime only by (A) the Participant, (B) the Participant’s guardian or legal representative, (C) a Family Member of the Participant who has acquired the NQSO by “permitted transfer;” as defined below, (ii) by a transferee that is permitted pursuant to clause (ii) of Section 9.2, for such period as may be authorized by the terms of the applicable instrument evidencing the grant of the applicable Option, or by the Committee, and (iii) after Participant’s death, by the legal representative of the Participant’s heirs or legatees. “Permitted transfer” means any transfer of an interest in such NQSO by gift or domestic relations order effected by the Participant during the Participant’s lifetime. A permitted transfer shall not include any transfer for value; provided that the following shall be permitted transfers and shall not be considered to be transfers for value: (a) a transfer under a domestic relations order in settlement of marital property rights or (b) a transfer to an entity in which more than fifty percent of the voting interests are owned by Family Members or the Participant in exchange for an interest in that entity.

10. PRIVILEGES OF STOCK OWNERSHIP

      No Participant will have any of the rights of a shareholder with respect to any Shares until the Shares are issued to the Participant. After Shares are issued to the Participant, the Participant will be a shareholder and have all the rights of a shareholder with respect to such Shares, including the right to vote and receive all dividends or other distributions made or paid with respect to such Shares.

11. CERTIFICATES

      All certificates for Shares or other securities delivered under this Plan will be subject to such stock transfer orders, legends and other restrictions as the Committee may deem necessary or advisable, including restrictions under any applicable federal, state or foreign securities law, or any rules, regulations and other requirements of the SEC or any stock exchange or automated quotation system upon which the Shares may be listed or quoted.

12. EXCHANGE AND BUYOUT OF AWARDS

      The Committee may, at any time or from time to time and subject to compliance with all applicable laws and regulations, authorize the Company, with the consent of the respective Participants, to issue new Awards in exchange for the surrender and cancellation of any or all outstanding Awards. The Committee may at any time and subject to compliance with all applicable laws and regulations buy from a Participant an Award previously granted with payment in cash, Shares or other consideration, based on such terms and conditions as the Committee and the Participant may agree.

13. SECURITIES LAW AND OTHER REGULATORY COMPLIANCE

      An Award will not be effective unless such Award is in compliance with all applicable federal and state securities laws, rules and regulations of any governmental body, and the requirements of any stock exchange or automated quotation system upon which the Shares may then be listed or quoted, as they are in effect on the date of grant of the Award and also on the date of exercise or other issuance. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Plan, the Company will have no obligation to issue or deliver certificates for Shares under this Plan prior to: (a) obtaining any approvals from governmental agencies that the Company determines are necessary or advisable; and/or (b) completion of any registration or other qualification of such Shares under any state or federal law or ruling of any governmental body that the Company determines to be necessary or advisable. The Company will be under no obligation to register the Shares with the SEC or to effect compliance with the registration, qualification or listing requirements of any state securities laws, stock exchange or automated quotation system, and the Company will have no liability for any inability or failure to do so.

14. NO OBLIGATION TO EMPLOY

      Nothing in this Plan or any Award granted under this Plan will confer or be deemed to confer on any Participant any right to continue in the employ of, or to continue any other relationship with, the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary of the Company or limit in any way the right of the Company or any Parent or

8


 

Subsidiary of the Company to terminate Participant’s employment or other relationship at any time, with or without cause.

15. CORPORATE TRANSACTIONS

15.1 Assumption or Replacement of Awards by Successor

      Except for automatic grants to Outside Directors pursuant to Section 7 hereof, in the event of (a) a dissolution or liquidation of the Company, (b) a merger or consolidation in which the Company is not the surviving corporation (other than a merger or consolidation with a wholly-owned subsidiary, a reincorporation of the Company in a different jurisdiction, or other transaction in which there is no substantial change in the shareholders of the Company or their relative share holdings and the Awards granted under this Plan are assumed, converted or replaced by the successor corporation, which assumption will be binding on all Participants), (c) a merger in which the Company is the surviving corporation but after which the shareholders of the Company immediately prior to such merger (other than any shareholder that merges, or which owns or controls another corporation that merges, with the Company in such merger) cease to own their shares or other equity interest in the Company, (d) the sale of substantially all of the assets of the Company, or (e) the acquisition, sale, or transfer of more than 50% of the outstanding shares of the Company by tender offer or similar transaction (each, a “CORPORATE TRANSACTION”), each Option which is at the time outstanding under this Plan shall automatically accelerate so that each such Option shall, immediately prior to the specified effective date for the Corporate Transaction, become fully exercisable with respect to the total number of Shares at the time subject to such Option and may be exercised for all or any portion of such Shares. However, subject to the specific terms of a Participant’s Award Agreement, an outstanding Option under this Plan shall not so accelerate if and to the extent: (i) such Option is, in connection with the Corporate Transaction, either to be assumed by the successor corporation or parent thereof or to be replaced with a comparable Option to purchase shares of the capital stock of the successor corporation or parent thereof, (ii) such Option is to be replaced with a cash incentive program of the successor corporation which preserves the Option spread existing at the time of the Corporate Transaction and provides for subsequent payout in accordance with the same vesting schedule applicable to such Option or (iii) the acceleration of such Option is subject to other limitations imposed by the Committee at the time of the Option grant. The determination of Option comparability under clause (i) above shall be made by the Committee, and its determination shall be final, binding and conclusive.

15.2 Other Treatment of Awards

      Subject to any greater rights granted to Participants under the foregoing provisions of this Section 15 or other specific terms of a Participant’s Award Agreement, in the event of the occurrence of any Corporate Transaction described in Section 15.1, any outstanding Awards will be treated as provided in the applicable agreement or plan of merger, consolidation, dissolution, liquidation, or sale of assets.

15.3 Assumption of Awards by the Company

      The Company, from time to time, also may substitute or assume outstanding awards granted by another company, whether in connection with an acquisition of such other company or otherwise, by either; (a) granting an Award under this Plan in substitution of such other company’s award; or (b) assuming such award as if it had been granted under this Plan if the terms of such assumed award could be applied to an Award granted under this Plan. Such substitution or assumption will be permissible if the holder of the substituted or assumed award would have been eligible to be granted an Award under this Plan if the other company had applied the rules of this Plan to such grant. In the event the Company assumes an award granted by another company, the terms and conditions of such award will remain unchanged (except that the Exercise Price and the number and nature of Shares issuable upon exercise of any such Option will be adjusted appropriately pursuant to Section 424(a) of the Code). In the event the Company elects to grant a new Option rather than assuming an existing Option, such new Option may be granted with a similarly adjusted Exercise Price.

16. ADOPTION AND SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL

      This Plan will become effective on the date on which the Board adopts the Plan (the “EFFECTIVE DATE”). This Plan shall be approved by the shareholders of the Company (excluding Shares issued pursuant to

9


 

this Plan), consistent with applicable laws, within twelve (12) months before or after the date this Plan is adopted by the Board. Upon the Effective Date, the Committee may grant Awards pursuant to this Plan; provided, however, that: (a) no Option may be exercised prior to initial shareholder approval of this Plan; (b) no Option granted pursuant to an increase in the number of Shares subject to this Plan approved by the Board will be exercised prior to the time such increase has been approved by the shareholders of the Company; (c) in the event that initial shareholder approval is not obtained within the time period provided herein, all Awards granted hereunder shall be cancelled; and (d) in the event that shareholder approval of such increase is not obtained within the time period provided herein, all Awards granted pursuant to such increase will be cancelled.

17. TERM OF PLAN/ GOVERNING LAW

      Unless earlier terminated as provided herein, this Plan will terminate ten (10) years from the date this Plan is adopted by the Board or, if earlier, the date of shareholder approval. This Plan and all agreements thereunder shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California.

18. AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION OF PLAN

      The Board has complete and exclusive power and authority to amend or modify the Plan (or any component thereof) in any or all respects whatsoever. However, (i) no such amendment or modification shall adversely affect rights and obligations with respect to Options at the time outstanding under the Plan, unless the Participant consents to such amendment, and (ii) the automatic grants to Outside Directors pursuant to Section 7 may not be amended at intervals more frequently than once every six (6) months, other than to the extent necessary to comply with applicable U.S. income tax laws and regulations. In addition, the Board may not, without the approval of the Company’s shareholders, amend the Plan to (i) materially increase the maximum number of Shares issuable under the Plan or the number of Shares for which Options may be granted per newly-elected or continuing Outside Director or the maximum number of Shares for which any one individual participating in the Plan may be granted Options, (ii) materially modify the eligibility requirements for plan participation or (iii) materially increase the benefits accruing to Participants. The Board may at any time terminate or amend this Plan in any respect, including without limitation amendment of any form of Award Agreement or instrument to be executed pursuant to this Plan; provided, however, that the Board will not, without the approval of the shareholders of the Company, amend this Plan in any manner that requires such shareholder approval.

19. NONEXCLUSIVITY OF THE PLAN

      Neither the adoption of this Plan by the Board, the submission of this Plan to the shareholders of the Company for approval, nor any provision of this Plan will be construed as creating any limitations on the power of the Board to adopt such additional compensation arrangements as it may deem desirable, including, without limitation, the granting of stock options and bonuses otherwise than under this Plan, and such arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases.

20. STOCK BONUSES

      A Stock Bonus is a grant of Shares by the Company to an individual who has satisfied the terms and conditions set by the Committee on the making of such grant. The Committee will determine to whom a grant may be made, the number of Shares that may be granted, the restrictions to the making of such grant, and all other terms and conditions of the Stock Bonus. The conditions to grant may be based upon completion of a specified number of years of service with the Company or upon completion of the performance goals as set out by the Committee. Grants of Stock Bonuses may vary from Participant to Participant and between groups of Participants. Prior to the grant of a Stock Bonus, the Committee shall: (a) determine the nature, length and starting date of any Performance Period that may be a condition precedent to grant of a Stock Bonus; (b) select from among the Performance Factors to be used to measure performance goals, if any; and (c) determine the number of Shares that may be awarded to the Participant. Prior to the grant of any Stock Bonus, the Committee shall determine the extent to which such Stock Bonus has been earned. Performance Periods may overlap and Participants may participate simultaneously with respect to Stock Bonuses that are subject to different Performance Periods and having different performance goals and other criteria. Participants shall be required to pay the par value for any Shares issued as a Stock Bonus.

FLEXTRONICS INTERNATIONAL LTD.
2001 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN
SHARE OPTION AGREEMENT

          1. Grant of Option. Flextronics International Ltd. (the “Company”) hereby grants to Participant an option (this “Option”) to purchase the total number of shares of Ordinary Shares of the Company set forth in the Notice of Grant of Stock Option (the “Notice”) as Total Option Shares (the “Shares”) at the Exercise Price Per Share set forth in the Notice (the “Exercise Price”), subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Notice and the 2001 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). If designated as an Incentive Stock Option set forth in the Notice, the Option is intended to qualify as an “incentive stock option” (the “ISO”) within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Plan.

          2. Vesting; Exercise Period.

               2.1 Vesting of Right to Exercise Option. This Option shall be exercisable as indicated in the Notice. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, the Notice and this Agreement, this Option shall vest and become exercisable as to portions of the Shares pursuant to the Vesting Schedule specified in the Notice. If application of the vesting percentage causes a fractional share, such share shall be rounded down to the nearest whole share for each month except for the last month in such vesting period, at the end of which last month this Option shall become vested for the full remainder of the Shares. This Option shall cease to vest upon Participant’s Termination and Participant shall in no event be entitled under this Option to purchase a number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock greater than the Total Option Shares as set forth in the Notice.

               2.2 Expiration. This Option shall expire on the Expiration Date set forth in the Notice and must be exercised, if at all, on or before the earlier of the Expiration Date or the date on which this Option is earlier terminated in accordance with the provisions of Section 3. Provided that, in the event that this Option is assigned with respect to any Shares to a financial institution in accordance with Section 7, then the Option insofar as it relates to the Shares so assigned shall expire at the close of business on the third trading day after the date of such assignment.

          3. Termination.

               3.1 Termination for Any Reason Except Death, Disability or Cause. If Participant is Terminated for any reason except Participant’s death, Disability or Cause, then this Option, to the extent (and only to the extent) that it is vested in accordance with the schedule set forth in the Notice on the Termination Date, may be exercised by the Participant no later than three (3) months after the Termination Date, but in any event no later than the Expiration Date.

               3.2 Termination Because of Death or Disability. If Participant is Terminated because of death or Disability of Participant (or the Participant dies within three (3) months after Termination other than for Cause or because of Disability), then this Option, to the extent that it is vested in accordance with the schedule set forth in the Notice on the Termination Date, may be exercised by Participant (or Participant’s legal representative or authorized assignee) no later than twelve (12) months after the Termination Date, but in any event no later than the Expiration Date. Any exercise after three months after the Termination Date when the Termination is for any reason other than Participant’s death or disability, within the meaning of Code Section 22(e)(3), shall be deemed to be the exercise of a nonqualified stock option.

               3.3 Termination for Cause. If Participant is Terminated for Cause, this Option will expire on the Participant’s Termination Date.

 


 

               3.4 No Obligation to Employ. Nothing in the Plan or this Agreement shall confer on Participant any right to continue in the employ of, or other relationship with, the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary of the Company, or limit in any way the right of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary of the Company to terminate Participant’s employment or other relationship at any time, with or without cause.

          4. Manner of Exercise.

               4.1 Share Option Exercise Agreement. To exercise this Option, Participant (or any assignee of Participant permitted under this Option, or in the case of exercise after Participant’s death, Participant’s executor, administrator, heir or legatee, as the case may be) must deliver to the Company an executed share option exercise agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, or in such other form as may be approved by the Company from time to time (the “Exercise Agreement”), which shall set forth, inter alia, Participant’s election to exercise this Option, the number of Shares being purchased, any restrictions imposed on the Shares and any representations, warranties and agreements regarding Participant’s investment intent and access to information as may be required by the Company to comply with applicable securities laws. If someone other than Participant exercises this Option, then such person must submit documentation reasonably acceptable to the Company that such person has the right to exercise this Option.

               4.2 Limitations on Exercise. This Option may not be exercised unless such exercise is in compliance with all applicable federal and state securities laws, as they are in effect on the date of exercise. This Option may not be exercised as to fewer than 100 Shares unless it is exercised as to all Shares as to which this Option is then exercisable.

               4.3 Payment. The Exercise Agreement shall be accompanied by full payment of the Exercise Price for the Shares being purchased in cash (by check), or where permitted by law:

  (a)   by cancellation of indebtedness of the Company to the Participant;
 
  (b)   by waiver of compensation due or accrued to Participant for services rendered;
 
  (c)   provided that a public market for the Company’s stock exists: (1) through a “same day sale” commitment from Participant and a broker-dealer that is a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers (an “NASD Dealer”) whereby Participant irrevocably elects to exercise this Option and to sell a portion of the Shares so purchased to pay for the Exercise Price and whereby the NASD Dealer irrevocably commits upon receipt of such Shares to forward the exercise price directly to the Company; or (2) through a “margin” commitment from Participant and an NASD Dealer whereby Participant irrevocably elects to exercise this Option and to pledge the Shares so purchased to the NASD Dealer in a margin account as security for a loan from the NASD Dealer in the amount of the Exercise Price, and whereby the NASD Dealer irrevocably commits upon receipt of such Shares to forward the Exercise Price directly to the Company; or
 
  (d)   by any combination of the foregoing.

               4.4 Tax Withholding. Prior to the issuance of the Shares upon exercise of this Option, Participant must pay or provide for any applicable federal or state withholding obligations of the Company. If the Committee permits, and subject to compliance with all applicable laws and regulations, Participant may provide for payment of withholding taxes upon exercise of this Option by requesting that the Company withhold from the Shares to be issued that number of Shares with a Fair Market Value equal to the minimum amount of taxes required to be withheld. In such case, the Company shall only issue the net number of Shares to the Participant by deducting the Shares withheld from the Shares issuable upon exercise.

               4.5 Issuance of Shares. Provided that the Exercise Agreement and payment are in form and substance satisfactory to counsel for the Company, the Company shall issue the Shares registered in the

2


 

name of Participant, Participant’s authorized assignee, or Participant’s legal representative, and shall deliver certificates representing the Shares with the appropriate legends affixed thereto.

          5. Notice of Disqualifying Disposition of ISO Shares. If this Option is an ISO, and if Participant sells or otherwise disposes of any of the Shares acquired pursuant to the ISO on or before the later of (a) the date two (2) years after the Date of Grant, and (b) the date one (1) year after allotment of such Shares to Participant upon exercise of this Option, then Participant shall immediately notify the Company in writing of such disposition. Participant agrees that Participant may be subject to income tax withholding by the Company on the compensation income recognized by Participant from the early disposition by payment in cash or out of the current wages or other compensation payable to Participant.

          6. Compliance with Laws and Regulations. The exercise of this Option and the issuance and allotment of Shares shall be subject to compliance by the Company and Participant with all applicable requirements of federal and state securities laws and with all applicable requirements of any stock exchange on which the Company’s Shares may be listed at the time of such issuance or allotment. Participant understands that the Company is under no obligation to register or qualify the Shares with the Securities and Exchange Commission, any state securities commission or any stock exchange to effect such compliance.

          7. Nontransferability of Option. Except as set forth in Section 9.1 of the Plan, this Option may not be transferred in any manner other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution and may be exercised during the lifetime of Participant only by Participant. In the event that the Participant assigns this Option (but only with respect to the Shares for which the Option is then exercisable pursuant to Section 2.1) to a financial institution outside the United States and Singapore approved by the Company, the Participant shall upon such assignment deliver to the Company a Notice of Assignment in the form of Exhibit B hereto, upon receipt of which the Company may issue to the Participant a letter confirming the balance number (if any) of the Shares comprised in this Option following such assignment. The terms of this Option shall be binding upon the executors, administrators, successors and assigns of Participant.

          8. Tax Consequences. Set forth below is a brief summary as of the Effective Date of the Plan of some of the federal and California tax consequences of exercise of the Option and disposition of the Shares. THIS SUMMARY IS NECESSARILY INCOMPLETE, AND THE TAX LAWS AND REGULATIONS ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE. PARTICIPANT SHOULD CONSULT A TAX ADVISER BEFORE EXERCISING THE OPTION OR DISPOSING OF THE SHARES.

               8.1 Exercise of ISO. If the Option qualifies as an ISO, there will be no regular federal or California income tax liability upon the exercise of the Option, although the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date of exercise over the Exercise Price will be treated as a tax preference item for federal alternative minimum tax purposes and may subject the Participant to the alternative minimum tax in the year of exercise.

               8.2 Exercise of Nonqualified Share Option. If the Option does not qualify as an ISO, there may be a regular federal and California income tax liability upon the exercise of the Option. Participant will be treated as having received compensation income (taxable at ordinary income tax rates) equal to the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date of exercise over the Exercise Price. If Participant is a current or former employee of the Company, the Company may be required to withhold from Participant’s compensation or collect from Participant and pay to the applicable taxing authorities an amount equal to a percentage of this compensation income at the time of exercise.

               8.3 Disposition of Shares. The following tax consequences may apply upon disposition of the Shares.

                    (a) Incentive Share Options. If the Shares are held for more than twelve (12) months after the date of the allotment of the Shares pursuant to the exercise of an ISO and are disposed of more than two (2) years after the Date of Grant, any gain realized on disposition of the Shares will be treated as long term

3


 

capital gain for federal and California income tax purposes. If Shares allotted under an ISO are disposed of within the applicable one (1) year or two (2) year period, any gain realized on such disposition will be treated as compensation income (taxable at ordinary income rates) to the extent of the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date of exercise over the Exercise Price.

                    (b) Nonqualified Share Options. If the Shares are held for more than twelve (12) months after the date of the transfer of the Shares pursuant to the exercise of an NQSO, any gain realized on disposition of the Shares will be treated as long-term capital gain.

                    (c) Withholding. The Company may be required to withhold from the Participant’s compensation or collect from the Participant and pay to the applicable taxing authorities an amount equal to a percentage of this compensation income.

          9. Privileges of Share Ownership. Participant shall not have any of the rights of a shareholder with respect to any Shares until Participant exercises this Option and pays the Exercise Price.

          10. Interpretation. Any dispute regarding the interpretation of this Agreement shall be submitted by Participant or the Company to the Committee for review. The resolution of such a dispute by the Committee shall be final and binding on the Company and Participant.

          11. Entire Agreement. The Plan is incorporated herein by reference. This Agreement, the Notice, the Plan and the Exercise Agreement constitute the entire agreement and understanding of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior understandings and agreements with respect to such subject matter.

          12. Notices. Any notice required to be given or delivered to the Company under the terms of this Agreement shall be in writing and addressed to the Corporate Treasurer of the Company at its principal corporate offices at 2090 Fortune Drive, San Jose, California 95131. Any notice required to be given or delivered to Participant shall be in writing and addressed to Participant at the address indicated above or to such other address as such party may designate in writing from time to time to the Company. All notices shall be deemed to have been given or delivered upon: personal delivery; three (3) days after deposit in the United States mail by certified or registered mail (return receipt requested); one (1) business day after deposit with any return receipt express courier (prepaid); or one (1) business day after transmission by rapifax or telecopier.

          13. Successors and Assigns. The Company may assign any of its rights under this Agreement. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Company. Subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth herein, this Agreement shall be binding upon Participant and Participant’s heirs, executors, administrators, legal representatives, successors and assigns.

          14. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California.

          15. Acceptance. Participant hereby acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan and this Agreement. Participant has read and understands the terms and provisions thereof, and accepts this Option subject to all the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Agreement. Participant acknowledges that there may be adverse tax consequences upon exercise of this Option or disposition of the Shares and that the Company has advised Participant to consult a tax advisor prior to such exercise or disposition.

Dear Sirs

Registration Statement on Form S-8 of Flextronics International Ltd. (the “Company”)

1.   At your request, we have examined the Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the “Registration Statement”) to be filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission on or about 29 September 2004 in connection with the registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, of an aggregate of:-

  (a)   20,000,000 ordinary shares of S$0.01 each in the capital of the Company (“Ordinary Shares”) subject to issuance by the Company upon the valid exercise of subscription rights represented by outstanding share options granted under the Company’s 2001 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2001 EIP”);
 
  (b)   1,000,000 Ordinary Shares subject to issuance by the Company upon the valid exercise of purchase rights represented by outstanding share options granted under the Company’s 1997 Employee Share Purchase Plan (the “1997 ESPP”); and
 
  (c)   a total of 1,660,927 Ordinary Shares previously reserved for issuance under:-

  (i)   the 1997 Interim Option Plan;
 
  (ii)   the 1998 Interim Option Plan;
 
  (iii)   the 1999 Interim Option Plan:
 
  (iv)   the Palo Alto Products International Pte Ltd 1996 Share Option Plan;
 
  (v)   the Chatham Technologies, Inc. Stock Option Plan;
 
  (vi)   the 1997 Stock Option Plan of Chatham Technologies, Inc.; and

A list of the partners and their professional qualifications is open to inspection at the above office.

 


 

(ALLEN & GLEHILL2)   PAGE 2

  (vii)   the IEC Holdings Limited 1997 Share Option Scheme,

     (collectively the “Option Shares").

2.   As your Singapore counsel, we have examined the following:-

  (a)   a copy of the resolutions of the shareholders of the Company passed at the Annual General Meeting of the Company held on 23 September 2004 in PDF format (the “Company’s Resolutions”) as provided to us by Fenwick & West LLP by electronic mail on 29 September 2004 relating to the authorisation for the issue of and allotment and issue of the ordinary shares in the capital of the Company;
 
  (b)   a copy of the resolutions of the Board of Directors of the Company passed on 9 September 1997 and 6 August 2001 (the “Company’s Board Resolutions”); and
 
  (c)   the procedures (as set out in the terms of the 1997 ESPP and the 2001 EIP and as set out in the resolutions passed by the Board of Directors of the Company on 29 May 2001 and 12 December 2001) taken by the Company in connection with the allotment and issuance of Ordinary Shares arising from the exercise of the purchase rights, or as the case may be, subscription rights represented by outstanding share options granted under the 1997 ESPP and the 2001 EIP (the “Company’s Allotment Procedures”).

3.   We have also made such other examinations of law and fact as we have considered necessary in order to form a basis for the opinion hereafter expressed.
 
4.   Based on the foregoing and assuming that:-

  (a)   the exercise price, or as the case may be, purchase price payable to the Company for each Option Share issued pursuant to the exercise of the purchase rights, or as the case may be, subscription rights represented by outstanding share options granted under the 1997 ESPP and the 2001 EIP is not less than the nominal or par value of the Option Share;
 
  (b)   the total issued and paid-up share capital of the Company consequent upon the issue of the Option Shares from time to time will not exceed the authorised share capital of the Company at any time;
 
  (c)   there shall be subsisting a valid authority given to the Board of Directors of the Company pursuant to Section 161 of the Singapore Companies Act, Chapter 50 in respect of the issue of the Option Shares at the time of the issue of the Option Shares;
 
  (d)   the Board of Directors of the Company shall before the issue of the Option Shares resolve to approve the allotment and issue by the Company of the Option Shares in accordance with the terms of the 1997 ESPP and the 2001 EIP upon the exercise of the purchase rights, or as the case may be, subscription rights represented by the outstanding share options granted under the 1997 ESPP and the 2001 EIP;

 


 

(ALLEN & GLEHILL2)   PAGE 3

  (e)   that copies of the Company’s Resolutions and the Company’s Board Resolutions submitted to us for examination are true, complete and up-to-date copies and that the Company’s Resolutions and the Company’s Board Resolutions have not been rescinded or modified and they remain in full force and effect and that no other resolution or other action has been taken which could affect the validity of the Company’s Resolutions and the Company’s Board Resolutions; and
 
  (f)   the genuineness of all signatures on all documents and the completeness, and the conformity to original documents of all copies or other specimen documents submitted to us,

    we are of the opinion that the Option Shares allotted and issued by the Company (i) upon the exercise of the purchase rights, or as the case may be, subscription rights represented by outstanding share options granted under the 1997 ESPP and the 2001 EIP in accordance with their respective terms against full payment of the applicable exercise price, (ii) pursuant to the Company’s Allotment Procedures, and (iii) represented by share certificates issued by the Company in respect of such Option Shares, will be legally issued, fully-paid and non-assessable.
 
5.   For the purposes of this opinion, we have assumed that the term “non-assessable” in relation to the Option Shares to be issued means under Singapore law that holders of such Option Shares, having fully paid up all amounts due on such Option Shares as to nominal amount and premium thereon, are under no further personal liability to contribute to the assets or liabilities of the Company in their capacities purely as holders of such Option Shares.
 
6.   We consent to the use of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and further consent to all references to us, if any, in the Registration Statement.

Yours faithfully
