2006 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN

ARTICLE 1. INTRODUCTION.

The purpose of the Plan is to promote the long-term success of the Company and the creation of shareholder value by (a) encouraging Employees, Outside Directors and Consultants to focus on critical long-range objectives, (b) encouraging the attraction and retention of Employees, Outside Directors and Consultants with exceptional qualifications and (c) linking Employees, Outside Directors and Consultants directly to shareholder interests through increased share ownership. The Plan seeks to achieve this purpose by providing for Awards in the form of Options (which may constitute ISOs or NSOs), SARs, Restricted Shares or Share Units.

The Plan shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the Republic of Singapore (except its choice-of-law provisions).

ARTICLE 2. ADMINISTRATION.

2.1 Committee Composition. The Committee shall administer the Plan. The Committee shall consist exclusively of two or more directors of the Company, who shall be appointed by the Board. In addition, each member of the Committee shall meet the following requirements:

(a) Any listing standards prescribed by the principal securities market on which the Company’s equity securities are traded;

(b) Such requirements as the Internal Revenue Service may establish for outside directors acting under plans intended to qualify for exemption under section 162(m)(4)(C) of the Code;

(c) Such requirements as the Securities and Exchange Commission may establish for administrators acting under plans intended to qualify for exemption under Rule 16b-3 (or its successor) under the Exchange Act; and

(d) Any other requirements imposed by applicable law, regulations or rules.

2.2 Committee Responsibilities. The Committee shall (a) select the Employees, Outside Directors and Consultants who are to receive Awards under the Plan, (b) determine the type, number, vesting requirements and other features and conditions of such Awards, (c) interpret the Plan, (d) make all other decisions relating to the operation of the Plan and (e) carry out any other duties delegated to it by the Board. The Committee may adopt such rules or guidelines as it deems appropriate to implement the Plan, including rules and procedures relating to the operation and administration of the Plan in order to accommodate the specific requirements of local laws and procedures. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the

Committee is specifically authorized to adopt (a) rules and procedures regarding the conversion of local currency, withholding procedures and handling of stock certificates that vary with local requirements and (b) such sub-plans and Plan addenda as the Committee deems desirable to accommodate foreign tax laws, regulations and practice. The Committee’s determinations under the Plan shall be final and binding on all persons.

2.3 Administration with Respect to Substitute Awards. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, in connection with issuing Substitute Awards, the Committee may provide that the Substitute Awards shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the plan and/or agreements under which the awards being assumed or substituted were originally issued, even where such terms are in conflict or inconsistent with the terms of this Plan.

2.4 Minimum Vesting Requirement. All Awards that vest based solely on the continuation of Service shall vest over a period of not less than three years and all Awards that vest on the basis of one or more performance criteria set forth in Appendix A shall vest over a period of not less than one year. This Section 2.4 shall not apply to the following:

(a) An Award granted prior to December 2, 2009;

(b) An automatic Award to an Outside Director under Article 9; and

2.5 Limited Exceptions to Vesting and Acceleration Limitations. A reserve (the “Exceptions Share Reserve”) is hereby established equal to the sum of (i) 10% of the Shares available for issuance under Article 3 as of December 2, 2009, plus (ii) 10% of any Shares added after December 2, 2009. Up to the Exceptions Share Reserve, the Committee may:

(a) Issue Awards with vesting periods shorter than the minimum vesting requirements of Section 2.4;

(b) Accelerate the vesting of Awards in connection with a voluntary severance incentive program or workforce management plan approved by the Board or a Committee as provided in Sections 5.4(d), 6.4(d) and 8.4(d); and

(c) Accelerate the Vesting of Restricted Shares in connection with a voluntary severance incentive program or workforce management plan approved by the Board or a Committee.

(d) The following additional provisions shall apply:

(i) If Shares subject to an Award that was granted in reliance on Subsection (a)(i) of this Section 2.5 are returned to the reserve pursuant to Section 3.2, then the number of Shares subject to such Award shall be added back to the Exceptions Share Reserve;

(ii) Any acceleration of vesting in connection with a voluntary severance incentive program or workforce management plan approved by the Board or a Committee on or before December 2, 2009 shall not be subject to, and any Awards so accelerated shall not be deducted from, the Exceptions Share Reserve;

- 2 -

(iii) Any acceleration of vesting in connection with a voluntary severance incentive program or workforce management plan approved by the Board or a Committee on or after December 2, 2009 where the Awards, at the time of issuance, provided for partial or full acceleration of vesting in such circumstances, shall not be subject to, and any Awards so accelerated shall not be deducted from, the Exceptions Share Reserve; and

(iv) Any acceleration of vesting pursuant to any agreement between the Company and any Participant that was entered into before December 2, 2009 shall not be subject to, and any Awards so accelerated shall not be deducted from, the Exceptions Share Reserve.

ARTICLE 3. SHARES AVAILABLE FOR GRANTS.

3.1 Basic Limitation. Shares issued pursuant to the Plan may be unissued shares or treasury shares. The aggregate number of Shares issued under the Plan shall not exceed (a) 13,300,000 plus (b) the additional Shares described in Section 3.3. The number of Shares that are subject to Awards outstanding at any time under the Plan shall not exceed the number of Shares that then remain available for issuance under the Plan. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, the maximum number of Shares that may be issued upon the exercise of ISOs under this Plan is 13,300,000. The limitations of this Section 3.1 shall be subject to adjustment pursuant to Article 10.

3.2 Shares Returned to Reserve. If Options, SARs or Share Units (including Replacement Awards) are forfeited or terminated for any other reason before being exercised or settled, then the Shares subject to such Options, SARs or Share Units shall again become available for issuance under the Plan. If SARs are exercised, then only the number of Shares (if any) actually issued in settlement of such SARs shall reduce the number available under Section 3.1 and the balance shall again become available for issuance under the Plan. If Share Units are settled, then only the number of Shares (if any) actually issued in settlement of such Share Units shall reduce the number available under Section 3.1 and the balance shall again become available for issuance under the Plan.

3.3 Substitute Awards. Except with respect to Substitute Awards issued with respect to awards previously issued by Agilent Technologies, Inc., Substitute Awards shall not reduce the Shares authorized for issuance under the Plan or authorized for grant to a Participant in any calendar year. Additionally, in the event that a company acquired by the Company or any Subsidiary, or with which the Company or any Subsidiary combines, has shares available under a pre-existing plan approved by shareholders and not adopted in contemplation of such acquisition or combination, the shares available for grant pursuant to the terms of such pre-existing plan (as adjusted, to the extent appropriate, using the exchange ratio or other adjustment or valuation ratio or formula used in such acquisition or combination to determine the consideration payable to the holders of ordinary shares or common shares of the entities party to such acquisition or combination) may be used for Awards under the Plan and shall not reduce the Shares authorized for issuance under the Plan; provided that Awards using such available Shares shall not be made

- 3 -

after the date awards or grants could have been made under the terms of the pre-existing plan, absent the acquisition or combination, and shall only be made to individuals who were employees, directors or consultants of such acquired or combined company before such acquisition or combination.

3.4 Dividend Equivalents. Any dividend equivalents paid or credited under the Plan shall be applied against the number of Shares that may be issued under the Plan if such dividend equivalents are converted into Share Units.

ARTICLE 4. ELIGIBILITY.

4.1 Incentive Stock Options. Only Employees who are common-law employees of the Company, a Parent or a Subsidiary shall be eligible for the grant of ISOs. In addition, an Employee who owns more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of outstanding shares of the Company or any of its Parents or Subsidiaries shall not be eligible for the grant of an ISO unless the requirements set forth in section 422(c)(5) of the Code are satisfied.

4.2 Other Grants. Only Employees, Outside Directors and Consultants shall be eligible for the grant of Restricted Shares, Share Units, NSOs or SARs.

ARTICLE 5. OPTIONS.

5.1 Option Agreement. Each grant of an Option under the Plan shall be evidenced by an Option Agreement between the Optionee and the Company. Such Option shall be subject to all applicable terms of the Plan and may be subject to any other terms that are not inconsistent with the Plan. The Option Agreement shall specify whether the Option is an ISO or an NSO. The provisions of the various Option Agreements entered into under the Plan need not be identical.

5.2 Number of Shares. Each Option Agreement shall specify the number of Shares subject to the Option and shall provide for the adjustment of such number in accordance with Article 10. Options granted to any Optionee in a single fiscal year of the Company shall not cover more than 750,000 Shares, except that Options granted to a new Employee in the fiscal year of the Company in which his or her Service as an Employee first commences shall not cover more than 1,500,000 Shares. The limitations set forth in the preceding sentence shall be subject to adjustment in accordance with Article 10.

5.3 Exercise Price. Each Option Agreement shall specify the Exercise Price; provided that the Exercise Price shall in no event be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the Date of Grant. Other than in connection with an event or transaction described in Article 10, Options may not be repriced, replaced, regranted through cancellation or modified without shareholder approval if the effect of such repricing, replacement, regrant or modification would be to reduce the exercise price of such Options.

- 4 -

5.4 Exercisability and Term.

(a) General. Each Option Agreement shall specify the date or event when all or any installment of the Option is to become exercisable, subject to Section 2.4. The Option Agreement shall also specify the term of the Option; provided that the term of an ISO shall in no event exceed 10 years from the Date of Grant. Options may be awarded in combination with SARs, and such an Award may provide that the Options will not be exercisable unless the related SARs are forfeited.

(b) Cessation of Eligibility to Vest. Unless otherwise provided by the Option Agreement, if an Optionee ceases to be an Awardee Eligible to Vest, other than as a result of circumstances described in Subsection (c) or (d) below, such Optionee’s Option shall terminate immediately as to the unvested Shares and such unvested Shares shall revert to the Plan, and such Optionee’s Option shall be exercisable as to the vested Shares for three months after the date such individual ceases to be an Awardee Eligible to Vest or, if earlier, the expiration of the term of such Option. If, for any reason, the Optionee does not exercise his or her vested Option within the appropriate exercise period set forth above, the Option shall automatically terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option shall revert to the Plan.

(c) Death, Disability or Retirement of Optionee. Unless otherwise provided by the Option Agreement, if an Optionee ceases to be an Awardee Eligible to Vest as a result of the Optionee’s death, Disability, or Separation from Service after age 55 with at least 15 years of full-time equivalent service with the Company or an affiliate (including service with the Company’s predecessor companies), then (i) the vested portion of such Optionee’s Option shall be determined by adding 12 months to the length of his or her actual Service, (ii) such Optionee’s Option shall terminate immediately as to the unvested Shares and such unvested Shares shall revert to the Plan, and (iii) such Optionee’s Option shall be exercisable as to the vested Shares for one year after the date such individual ceases to be an Awardee Eligible to Vest or, if earlier, the expiration of the term of such Option. Where an individual ceases to be an Awardee Eligible to Vest as a result of death, the Option may be exercised by the beneficiary designated by the Optionee, the executor or administrator of the Optionee’s estate or, if none, by the person(s) entitled to exercise the Option under the Optionee’s will or the laws of descent or distribution. If, for any reason, the Option is not so exercised within the time specified herein, the Option shall automatically terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option shall revert to the Plan.

(d) Voluntary Severance Incentive Program. If an Optionee ceases to be an Awardee Eligible to Vest as a result of participation in a voluntary severance incentive program or workforce management plan approved by the Board or a Committee, unvested Options shall vest and Options shall remain exercisable, to the extent permitted under applicable laws and provided by the Board or a Committee in such voluntary severance incentive program or workforce management plan. The total number of Options that may be accelerated pursuant to this Section 5.4(d) shall be subject to the limitations of Section 2.5. Absent a specific provision for acceleration or extended exercise period, the provisions of Subsection (b) above shall apply.

- 5 -

5.5 Effect of Change in Control. The Committee may determine, at the time of granting an Option or thereafter, that such Option shall become exercisable as to all or part of the Shares subject to such Option if a Change in Control occurs with respect to the Company or if the Optionee’s Service is terminated without Cause after a Change in Control. In addition, acceleration of exercisability may be required under Section 10.3.

5.6 Buyout Provisions. The Committee may at any time (a) offer to buy out for a payment in cash or cash equivalents an Option previously granted or (b) authorize an Optionee to elect to cash out an Option previously granted, in either case at such time and based upon such terms and conditions as the Committee shall establish. Prior to exercising its authority under this Section 5.6, the Company shall first obtain the approval of the shareholders for the intended buy-out of Options or offer to Optionees of an election to cash out Options; provided, however, that shareholder approval will not be required with respect to offers, buy-outs or cash elections where the amount of purchase price or cash-out to be paid by the Company does not exceed the intrinsic value of the Option being bought- or cashed-out, measured on or about the date of the buy-out or cash-out. For clarity, the “intrinsic value” means the Fair Market Value of the Shares subject to the Option, minus the exercise price, multiplied by the number of Shares being bought- or cashed-out.

5.7 Payment for Option Shares.

(a) General Rule. The entire Exercise Price of Shares issued upon exercise of Options shall be payable in cash or cash equivalents at the time when such Shares are purchased, except that the Committee at its sole discretion may accept payment of the Exercise Price in any other form(s) described in this Section 5.7. However, if the Optionee is an Outside Director or executive officer of the Company, he or she may pay the Exercise Price in a form other than cash or cash equivalents only to the extent permitted by section 13(k) of the Exchange Act.

(b) Exercise/Sale. With the Committee’s consent, all or any part of the Exercise Price and any withholding taxes may be paid by delivering (in a manner prescribed by the Company) an irrevocable direction to a securities broker approved by the Company to sell all or part of the Shares being purchased under the Plan and to deliver all or part of the sales proceeds to the Company.

(c) Other Forms of Payment. With the Committee’s consent, all or any part of the Exercise Price and any withholding taxes may be paid in any other form that is consistent with applicable laws, regulations and rules.

ARTICLE 6. SHARE APPRECIATION RIGHTS.

6.1 SAR Agreement. Each grant of a SAR under the Plan shall be evidenced by a SAR Agreement between the Optionee and the Company. Such SAR shall be subject to all applicable terms of the Plan and may be subject to any other terms that are not inconsistent with the Plan. The provisions of the various SAR Agreements entered into under the Plan need not be identical.

6.2 Number of Shares. Each SAR Agreement shall specify the number of Shares to which the SAR pertains and shall provide for the adjustment of such number in accordance with Article 10. SARs granted to any Optionee in a single fiscal year shall in no event pertain to more

- 6 -

than 750,000 Shares, except that SARs granted to a new Employee in the fiscal year of the Company in which his or her Service as an Employee first commences shall not pertain to more than 1,500,000 Shares. The limitations set forth in the preceding sentence shall be subject to adjustment in accordance with Article 10.

6.3 Exercise Price. Each SAR Agreement shall specify the Exercise Price; provided that the Exercise Price shall in no event be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the Date of Grant. Other than in connection with an event or transaction described in Article 10, SARs may not be repriced, replaced, regranted through cancellation or modified without shareholder approval if the effect of such repricing, replacement, regrant or modification would be to reduce the exercise price of such SARs.

6.4 Exercisability and Term.

(a) General. Each SAR Agreement shall specify the date when all or any installment of the SAR is to become exercisable, subject to Section 2.4. The SAR Agreement shall also specify the term of the SAR. SARs may be awarded in combination with Options, and such an Award may provide that the SARs will not be exercisable unless the related Options are forfeited. An SAR may be included in an ISO only at the time of grant but may be included in an NSO at the time of grant or thereafter. An SAR granted under the Plan may provide that it will be exercisable only in the event of a Change in Control.

(b) Cessation of Eligibility to Vest. Unless otherwise provided by the SAR Agreement, if an Optionee ceases to be an Awardee Eligible to Vest, other than as a result of circumstances described in Subsection (c) or (d) below, such Optionee’s SAR shall terminate immediately as to the unvested Shares and such unvested Shares shall revert to the Plan, and the SAR shall be exercisable as to the vested Shares for three months after the date such individual ceases to be an Awardee Eligible to Vest or, if earlier, the expiration of the term of such SAR. If, for any reason, the Optionee does not exercise his or her vested SARs within the appropriate exercise period set forth above, the SAR shall automatically terminate, and the Shares covered by such SAR shall revert to the Plan.

(c) Death, Disability or Retirement of Optionee. Unless otherwise provided by the SAR Agreement, if an Optionee ceases to be an Awardee Eligible to Vest as a result of the Optionee’s death, Disability, or Separation from Service after age 55 with at least 15 years of full-time equivalent service with the Company or an affiliate (including service with the Company’s predecessor companies), then (i) the vested portion of such Optionee’s SAR shall be determined by adding 12 months to the length of his or her actual Service, (ii) such Optionee’s SAR shall terminate immediately as to the unvested Shares and such unvested Shares shall revert to the Plan, and (iii) such Optionee’s SAR shall be exercisable as to the vested Shares for one year after the date such individual ceases to be an Awardee Eligible to Vest or, if earlier, the expiration of the term of such SAR. Where an individual ceases to be an Awardee Eligible to Vest as a result of death, the SAR may be exercised by the beneficiary designated by the Optionee, the executor or administrator of the Optionee’s estate or, if none, by the person(s) entitled to exercise the SAR under the Optionee’s will or the laws of descent or distribution. If, for any reason, the SAR is not so exercised within the time specified herein, the SAR shall automatically terminate, and the Shares covered by such SAR shall revert to the Plan.

- 7 -

(d) Voluntary Severance Incentive Program. If an Optionee ceases to be an Awardee Eligible to Vest as a result of participation in a voluntary severance incentive program or workforce management plan approved by the Board or a Committee, unvested SARs shall vest and SARs shall remain exercisable, to the extent permitted under applicable laws and provided by the Board or a Committee in such voluntary severance incentive program or workforce management plan. The total number of SARs that may be accelerated pursuant to this Section 6.4(d) shall be subject to the limitations of Section 2.5. Absent a specific provision for acceleration or extended exercise period, the provisions of Subsection (b) above shall apply.

6.5 Effect of Change in Control. The Committee may determine, at the time of granting a SAR or thereafter, that such SAR shall become exercisable as to all or part of the Shares subject to such SAR if a Change in Control occurs with respect to the Company or if the Optionee’s Service is terminated without Cause after a Change in Control. In addition, acceleration of exercisability may be required under Section 10.3.

6.6 Exercise of SARs. Upon exercise of a SAR, the Optionee (or any person having the right to exercise the SAR after his or her death) shall receive from the Company consideration in the form of (a) Shares, (b) cash or (c) a combination of Shares and cash, as the Committee shall determine. Each SAR Agreement shall specify the amount and/or Fair Market Value of the consideration that the Optionee will receive upon exercising the SAR; provided that the aggregate consideration shall not exceed the amount by which the Fair Market Value (on the date of exercise) of the Shares subject to the SAR exceeds the Exercise Price of the SAR. If, on the date when a SAR expires, the Exercise Price of the SAR is less than the Fair Market Value of the Shares subject to the SAR on such date but any portion of the SAR has not been exercised, then the SAR shall automatically be deemed to be exercised as of such date with respect to such portion. An SAR Agreement may also provide for an automatic exercise of the SAR on an earlier date.

ARTICLE 7. RESTRICTED SHARES.

7.1 Restricted Share Agreement. Each grant of Restricted Shares under the Plan shall be evidenced by a Restricted Share Agreement between the recipient and the Company. Such Restricted Shares shall be subject to all applicable terms of the Plan and may be subject to any other terms that are not inconsistent with the Plan. The provisions of the various Restricted Share Agreements entered into under the Plan need not be identical.

7.2 Number of Shares. Each Restricted Share Agreement shall specify the number of Shares to which the Agreement pertains.

7.3 Payment for Awards. Restricted Shares may be sold or awarded under the Plan for such consideration as the Committee may determine, including (without limitation) cash, cash equivalents, property, past services and future services. Within the limitations of the Plan, the Committee may accept the cancellation of outstanding options in return for the grant of Restricted Shares.

- 8 -

7.4 Restrictions & Conditions. The Committee may, at the time of granting Restricted Shares, impose such conditions and restrictions on the Restricted Shares as it deems appropriate; provided, however, that: (a) Section 2.4 shall apply; (b) any acceleration of vesting, other than in the case of acceleration of vesting in connection with death, Disability, retirement or Change in Control shall be subject to the limitations of Section 2.5, and (c) such conditions and restrictions may not result in the Company reacquiring from a Participant Restricted Shares that have been issued.

7.5 Effect of Change in Control. The Committee may determine, at the time of granting Restricted Shares or thereafter, that all or some of any restrictions imposed on such Restricted Shares shall be removed if a Change in Control occurs with respect to the Company or if the Participant’s Service is terminated without Cause after a Change in Control.

7.6 Voting and Dividend Rights. The holders of Restricted Shares awarded under the Plan shall have the same voting, dividend and other rights as the Company’s other shareholders. A Restricted Share Agreement, however, may require that the holders of Restricted Shares invest any cash dividends received in additional Restricted Shares. Such additional Restricted Shares shall be subject to the same conditions and restrictions as the Award with respect to which the dividends were paid.

ARTICLE 8. SHARE UNITS.

8.1 Share Unit Agreement. Each grant of Share Units under the Plan shall be evidenced by a Share Unit Agreement between the recipient and the Company. Such Share Units shall be subject to all applicable terms of the Plan and may be subject to any other terms that are not inconsistent with the Plan. The provisions of the various Share Unit Agreements entered into under the Plan need not be identical.

8.2 Number of Shares. Each Share Unit Agreement shall specify the number of Shares to which the Share Unit pertains and shall provide for the adjustment of such number in accordance with Article 10. Such number shall be subject to the limitation of Section 8.4(a), if applicable.

8.3 Payment for Awards. To the extent that an Award is granted in the form of Share Units, no cash consideration shall be required of the Award recipients.

8.4 Vesting Conditions.

(a) General. Each Award of Share Units may or may not be subject to vesting, subject to Section 2.4. Vesting shall occur, in full or in installments, upon satisfaction of the conditions specified in the Share Unit Award. The Committee may include among such conditions continued performance of Service and/or the requirement that the performance of the Company (or a Subsidiary, Affiliate or business unit of the Company) for a specified period of not less than one fiscal year equal or exceed performance targets determined by the Committee. Such targets shall be based on one or more of the criteria set forth in Appendix A, and shall be determined not later than the 90 days following commencement of the specified performance period. As to Awards with respect to which the Company desires to secure an exemption from section 162(m) of the Code, no Participant shall receive more than 400,000 Share Units subject to performance-based vesting conditions in a single fiscal year, except that a new Employee may receive up to 800,000 Share Units subject to performance-based vesting conditions in the fiscal year of the Company in which his or her Service as an Employee first commences. The limitations set forth in the preceding sentence shall be subject to adjustment in accordance with Article 10.

- 9 -

(b) Cessation of Eligibility to Vest. Unless otherwise provided by the Share Unit Award, if a Participant ceases to be an Awardee Eligible to Vest, other than as a result of circumstances described in Subsection (c) or (d) below, then all unvested Share Units subject to a Share Unit Agreement shall immediately be forfeited and shall revert to the Plan.

(c) Death, Disability or Retirement of Participant. Unless otherwise provided by the Share Unit Award, if a Participant ceases to be an Awardee Eligible to Vest as a result of the Participant’s death, Disability, or Separation from Service after age 55 with at least 15 years of full-time equivalent service with the Company or an affiliate (including service with the Company’s predecessor companies), the provisions of Subsection (b) above will apply except that the vested portion of such Participant’s Share Unit Award shall be determined by adding 12 months to the length of his or her actual Service.

(d) Voluntary Severance Incentive Program. If a Participant ceases to be an Awardee Eligible to Vest as a result of participation in a voluntary severance incentive program or workforce management plan approved by the Board or a Committee, unvested Share Units shall vest to the extent permitted under applicable laws and provided by the Board or a Committee in such voluntary severance incentive program or workforce management plan. The total number of Share Units that may be accelerated pursuant to this Section 8.4(d) shall be subject to the limitations of Section 2.5. Absent a specific provision for acceleration, the provisions of Subsection (b) above shall apply.

8.5 Effect of Change in Control. The Committee may determine, at the time of granting Share Units or thereafter, that all or part of such Share Units shall become vested if a Change in Control occurs with respect to the Company or if the Participant’s Service is terminated without Cause after a Change in Control. In addition, acceleration of vesting may be required under Section 10.3.

8.6 Voting and Dividend Rights. The holders of Share Units shall have no voting rights. Prior to settlement or forfeiture, any Share Unit awarded under the Plan may, at the Committee’s discretion, carry with it a right to dividend equivalents. Such right entitles the holder to be credited with an amount equal to all cash dividends paid on one Share while the Share Unit is outstanding.

ARTICLE 10. PROTECTION AGAINST DILUTION.

10.1 Adjustments. In the event of a subdivision of the outstanding Shares, a declaration of a dividend payable in Shares or a combination or consolidation of the outstanding Shares (by reclassification or otherwise) into a lesser number of Shares, corresponding adjustments shall automatically be made in each of the following:

(a) The number of Options, SARs, Restricted Shares and Share Units available for future Awards under Article 3;

(b) The limitations set forth in Sections 2.5, 5.2, 6.2, 7.2 and 8.4(a);

- 12 -

(d) The Exercise Price under each outstanding Option and SAR; or

In the event of a declaration of a dividend payable in a form other than Shares in an amount that has a material effect on the price of Shares, a recapitalization, a spin-off or a similar occurrence, the Committee shall make such adjustments as it, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate in one or more of the foregoing. Except as provided in this Article 10, a Participant shall have no rights by reason of any issuance by the Company of shares of any class or securities convertible into shares of any class, any subdivision or consolidation of shares of any class, the payment of any share dividend or any other increase or decrease in the number of shares of any class.

10.2 Dissolution or Liquidation. To the extent not previously exercised or settled, Options, SARs and Share Units shall terminate immediately prior to the dissolution or liquidation of the Company.

10.3 Reorganizations. In the event that the Company is a party to a merger, consolidation or amalgamation, all outstanding Awards shall be subject to the agreement of merger, consolidation or amalgamation. Such agreement shall provide for one or more of the following:

(a) The continuation of such outstanding Awards by the Company (if the Company is the surviving corporation).

(d) Full exercisability of outstanding Options and SARs and full vesting of the Shares subject to such Options and SARs, followed by the cancellation of such Options and SARs. The full exercisability of such Options and SARs and full vesting of such Shares may be contingent on the closing of such merger, consolidation or amalgamation. The Optionees shall be able to exercise such Options and SARs during a period of not less than five full business days preceding the closing date of such merger, consolidation or amalgamation, unless (i) a shorter period is required to permit a timely closing of such merger, consolidation or amalgamation and (ii) such shorter period still offers the Optionees a reasonable opportunity to exercise such Options and SARs. Any exercise of such Options and SARs during such period may be contingent on the closing of such merger, consolidation or amalgamation.

(e) The cancellation of outstanding Options and SARs and a payment to the Optionees equal to the excess of (i) the Fair Market Value of the Shares subject to such Options and SARs (whether or not such Options and SARs are then exercisable or such Shares are then vested) as of the closing date of such merger, consolidation or amalgamation over (ii) their

- 13 -

Exercise Price. Such payment shall be made in the form of cash, cash equivalents, or securities of the surviving corporation or its parent with a Fair Market Value equal to the required amount. Such payment may be made in installments and may be deferred until the date or dates when such Options and SARs would have become exercisable or such Shares would have vested. Such payment may be subject to vesting based on the Optionee’s continuing Service, provided that the vesting schedule shall not be less favorable to the Optionee than the schedule under which such Options and SARs would have become exercisable or such Shares would have vested. If the Exercise Price of the Shares subject to such Options and SARs exceeds the Fair Market Value of such Shares, then such Options and SARs may be cancelled without making a payment to the Optionees. For purposes of this Subsection (e), the Fair Market Value of any security shall be determined without regard to any vesting conditions that may apply to such security.

(f) The cancellation of outstanding Share Units and a payment to the Participants equal to the Fair Market Value of the Shares subject to such Share Units (whether or not such Share Units are then vested) as of the closing date of such merger, consolidation or amalgamation. Such payment shall be made in the form of cash, cash equivalents, or securities of the surviving corporation or its parent with a Fair Market Value equal to the required amount. Such payment may be made in installments and may be deferred until the date or dates when such Share Units would have vested. Such payment may be subject to vesting based on the Participant’s continuing Service, provided that the vesting schedule shall not be less favorable to the Participant than the schedule under which such Share Units would have vested. For purposes of this Subsection (f), the Fair Market Value of any security shall be determined without regard to any vesting conditions that may apply to such security.

- 14 -

ARTICLE 12. LIMITATION ON RIGHTS.

12.1 Retention Rights. Neither the Plan nor any Award granted under the Plan shall be deemed to give any individual a right to remain an Employee, Outside Director or Consultant. The Company and its Parents, Subsidiaries and Affiliates reserve the right to terminate the Service of any Employee, Outside Director or Consultant at any time, with or without cause, subject to applicable laws, the Company’s Articles of Association and a written employment agreement (if any).

12.2 Shareholders’ Rights. A Participant shall have no dividend rights, voting rights or other rights as a shareholder with respect to any Shares covered by his or her Award prior to the time when such Shares are issued. No adjustment shall be made for cash dividends or other rights for which the record date is prior to such time, except as expressly provided in the Plan.

12.3 Regulatory Requirements. Any other provision of the Plan notwithstanding, the obligation of the Company to issue Shares under the Plan shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules and regulations and such approval by any regulatory body as may be required. The Company reserves the right to restrict, in whole or in part, the delivery of Shares pursuant to any Award prior to the satisfaction of all legal requirements relating to the issuance of such Shares, to their registration, qualification or listing or to an exemption from registration, qualification or listing.

ARTICLE 13. WITHHOLDING TAXES.

13.1 General. To the extent required by applicable federal, state, local or foreign law, a Participant or his or her successor shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Company for the satisfaction of any withholding tax obligations that arise in connection with the Plan. The Company shall not be required to issue any Shares or make any cash payment under the Plan until such obligations are satisfied.

13.2 Share Withholding. To the extent that applicable law subjects a Participant to tax withholding obligations, the Committee may permit such Participant to satisfy all or part of such obligations by having the Company withhold all or a portion of any Shares that otherwise would be issued to him or her Such Shares shall be valued at their Fair Market Value on the date when they are withheld.

ARTICLE 14. LIMITATION ON PAYMENTS.

14.1 Scope of Limitation. This Article 14 shall apply to an Award only if:

(a) The independent auditors selected for this purpose by the Committee (the “Auditors”) determine that the after-tax value of such Award to the Participant, taking into account the effect of all federal, state and local income taxes, employment taxes and excise taxes applicable to the Participant (including the excise tax under section 4999 of the Code), will be greater after the application of this Article 14 than it was before the application of this Article 14; or

(b) The Committee, at the time of making an Award under the Plan or at any time thereafter, specifies in writing that such Award shall be subject to this Article 14 (regardless of the after-tax value of such Award to the Participant).

- 15 -

If this Article 14 applies to an Award, it shall supersede any contrary provision of the Plan or of any Award granted under the Plan.

14.2 Basic Rule. In the event that the Auditors determine that any payment or transfer by the Company under the Plan to or for the benefit of a Participant (a “Payment”) would be nondeductible by the Company for federal income tax purposes because of the provisions concerning “excess parachute payments” in section 280G of the Code, then the aggregate present value of all Payments shall be reduced (but not below zero) to the Reduced Amount. For purposes of this Article 14, the “Reduced Amount” shall be the amount, expressed as a present value, which maximizes the aggregate present value of the Payments without causing any Payment to be nondeductible by the Company because of section 280G of the Code.

14.3 Reduction of Payments. If the Auditors determine that any Payment would be nondeductible by the Company because of section 280G of the Code, then the Company shall promptly give the Participant notice to that effect and a copy of the detailed calculation thereof and of the Reduced Amount, and the Participant may then elect, in his or her sole discretion, which and how much of the Payments shall be eliminated or reduced (as long as after such election the aggregate present value of the Payments equals the Reduced Amount) and shall advise the Company in writing of his or her election within 10 days of receipt of notice. If no such election is made by the Participant within such 10-day period, then the Company may elect which and how much of the Payments shall be eliminated or reduced (as long as after such election the aggregate present value of the Payments equals the Reduced Amount) and shall notify the Participant promptly of such election. For purposes of this Article 14, present value shall be determined in accordance with section 280G(d)(4) of the Code. All determinations made by the Auditors under this Article 14 shall be binding upon the Company and the Participant and shall be made within 60 days of the date when a Payment becomes payable or transferable. As promptly as practicable following such determination and the elections hereunder, the Company shall pay or transfer to or for the benefit of the Participant such amounts as are then due to him or her under the Plan and shall promptly pay or transfer to or for the benefit of the Participant in the future such amounts as become due to him or her under the Plan.

14.4 Overpayments and Underpayments. As a result of uncertainty in the application of section 280G of the Code at the time of an initial determination by the Auditors hereunder, it is possible that Payments will have been made by the Company which should not have been made (an “Overpayment”) or that additional Payments which will not have been made by the Company could have been made (an “Underpayment”), consistent in each case with the calculation of the Reduced Amount hereunder. In the event that the Auditors, based upon the assertion of a deficiency by the Internal Revenue Service against the Company or the Participant that the Auditors believe has a high probability of success, determine that an Overpayment has been made, such Overpayment shall be treated for all purposes as a loan to the Participant that he or she shall repay to the Company, together with interest at the applicable federal rate provided in section 7872(f)(2) of the Code; provided, however, that no amount shall be payable by the Participant to the Company if and to the extent that such payment would not reduce the amount that is subject to taxation under section 4999 of the Code. In the event that the Auditors determine that an Underpayment has occurred, such Underpayment shall promptly be paid or transferred by the Company to or for the benefit of the Participant, together with interest at the applicable federal rate provided in section 7872(f)(2) of the Code.

- 16 -

14.5 Related Corporations. For purposes of this Article 14, the term “Company” shall include affiliated corporations to the extent determined by the Auditors in accordance with section 280G(d)(5) of the Code.

ARTICLE 15. FUTURE OF THE PLAN.

15.1 Term of the Plan. The Plan shall remain in effect until the earlier of (a) the date when the Plan is terminated under Section 15.2 or (b) June 6, 2016.

15.2 Amendment or Termination. The Board may, at any time and for any reason, amend or terminate the Plan. No Awards shall be granted under the Plan after the termination thereof. The termination of the Plan, or any amendment thereof, shall not affect any Award previously granted under the Plan.

15.3 Shareholder Approval. An amendment of the Plan shall be subject to the approval of the Company’s shareholders only to the extent required by applicable laws, regulations or rules. The Company may, but is not required to, seek the approval (or re-approval) of the Company’s shareholders of the performance criteria set forth in Appendix A to the extent, and at such frequencies, as may be necessary to provide the full tax deductibility of performance-based Awards in accordance with Section 162(m) of the Code.
