5.
Shares Subject to the Plan and to Awards
(a) Aggregate
Limits. The maximum aggregate number of Ordinary Shares issuable under the Plan shall be equal to 9,594,213. The reserved number of
Ordinary Shares will increase on January 1st of each calendar year beginning on January 1, 2024 and ending on and including January 1,
2029 (each, an “Evergreen Date”), in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) 5.0% of the total number of Ordinary Shares (and
beginning January 1, 2027, the sum of the total number of Ordinary Shares and the total number of Ordinary Shares underlying all pre-funded
warrants) outstanding on the December 31st immediately preceding the applicable Evergreen Date, (ii) 8,059,796 Ordinary Shares or (iii)
such lesser number of Ordinary Shares as determined to be appropriate by the Committee in its sole discretion.
(b) Adjustment
of Share Pool. The aggregate number of Ordinary Shares available for grant under this Plan and the number of Ordinary Shares subject
to Awards outstanding at the time of any event described in Section 16 shall be subject to adjustment as provided in Section
16. The Ordinary Shares issued pursuant to Awards granted under this Plan may be shares that are authorized and unissued or shares
that were reacquired by the Company, including shares purchased in the open market.
(c) Issuance
of Shares. For purposes of Section 5(a), the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares issued under this Plan at any time shall
equal only the number of Ordinary Shares actually issued upon exercise or settlement of an Award. Ordinary Shares subject to Awards that
have been canceled, expired, forfeited or otherwise not issued under an Award and Ordinary Shares subject to Awards settled in cash shall
not count as Ordinary Shares issued under this Plan. The aggregate number of shares available for issuance under this Plan at any time
shall not be reduced by (i) shares subject to Awards that have been terminated, expired unexercised, forfeited or settled in cash, (ii)
shares subject to Awards that have been retained or withheld by the Company in payment or satisfaction of the exercise price, purchase
price or tax withholding obligation of an Award, or (iii) shares subject to Awards that otherwise do not result in the issuance of shares
in connection with payment or settlement thereof. In addition, shares that have been delivered (either actually or by attestation) to
the Company in payment or satisfaction of the exercise price, purchase price or tax withholding obligation of an Award shall be available
for issuance under this Plan.
(d) Substitute
Awards. Substitute Awards shall not reduce the Ordinary 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 of the entities party to such acquisition or combination) may
be used for Awards under the Plan and shall not reduce the Ordinary Shares authorized for issuance under the Plan; provided that, Awards
using such available shares (i) shall not be made after the date awards or grants could have been made under the terms of the pre-existing
plan, absent the acquisition or combination, (ii) shall only be made to individuals who were employees of such acquired or combined company
before such acquisition or combination, and (iii) shall comply with the requirements of any stock exchange or market or quotation system
on which the Ordinary Shares are traded, listed or quoted.
(e) Tax
Code Limits. The aggregate number of Ordinary Shares that may be issued pursuant to the exercise of Incentive Share Options granted
under this Plan shall be equal to 8,059,796, which number shall be calculated and adjusted pursuant to Section 16 only
to the extent that such calculation or adjustment will not affect the status of any Option intended to qualify as an Incentive Share Option
under Section 422 of the Code.
(f) Limits
on Non-Employee Director Compensation. The aggregate dollar value of equity-based (based on the grant date Fair Market Value
of equity-based Awards) and cash compensation granted under this Plan or otherwise during any calendar year to any non-employee director
shall not exceed $750,000; provided, however, that (i) in the calendar year in which a non-employee director first joins the Board, the
maximum aggregate dollar value of equity-based and cash compensation granted to the non-employee director may be up to $1,000,000, (ii)
effective as of the closing of the merger of Zura Bio Limited with JATT Acquisition Corp (the “Closing”), the Chair of the
Board shall receive a special one-time grant of 500,000 time-based restricted stock units and 250,000 performance-based restricted stock
units, and (iii) the Chair of the Board in place as of the Closing shall receive $25,000 per month for so long as he is providing expanded
responsibilities in such capacity, as agreed to in writing by the Company, and after completion of such responsibilities, annual retainers
that are in no event more than $200,000 per calendar year.
6.
Administration of the Plan
(a) Administrator
of the Plan. The Plan shall be administered by the Committee. Any power of the Committee may also be exercised by the Board, except
to the extent that the grant or exercise of such authority would cause any Award or transaction to become subject to (or lose an exemption
under) the short-swing profit recovery provisions of Section 16 of the Exchange Act. To the extent that any permitted action taken by
the Board conflicts with action taken by the Committee, the Board action shall control. To the maximum extent permissible under applicable
law, the Committee (or any successor) may by resolution delegate any or all of its authority to one or more subcommittees composed of
one or more directors and/or officers of the Company, and any such subcommittee shall be treated as the Committee for all purposes under
this Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Board or the Committee (or any successor) delegates to a subcommittee the authority to
grant Awards, the resolution so authorizing such subcommittee shall specify the total number of Ordinary Shares such subcommittee may
award pursuant to such delegated authority, and no such subcommittee shall designate any officer serving thereon or any officer (within
the meaning of Section 16 of the Exchange Act) or non-employee director of the Company as a recipient of any Awards granted under such
delegated authority. The Committee may further designate and delegate to one or more additional officers or employees of the Company or
any Subsidiary, and/or one or more agents, authority to assist the Committee in any or all aspects of the day-to-day administration of
the Plan and/or of Awards granted under the Plan.
(b) Powers
of Committee. Subject to the express provisions of this Plan, the Committee shall be authorized and empowered to do all things that
it determines to be necessary or appropriate in connection with the administration of this Plan, including:
(i)
to prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to this Plan and to define terms not otherwise defined herein;
(ii) to
determine which Persons are Eligible Persons, to which of such Eligible Persons, if any, Awards shall be granted hereunder and the timing
of any such Awards;
(iii)
to prescribe and amend the terms of the Award Agreements, to grant Awards and determine the terms and conditions thereof;
(iv) to
establish and verify the extent of satisfaction of any performance goals or other conditions applicable to the grant, issuance, retention,
vesting, exercisability or settlement of any Award;
(v) to
prescribe and amend the terms of or form of any document or notice required to be delivered to the Company by Participants under this
Plan;
(vi)
to determine the extent to which adjustments are required pursuant to Section 16;
(vii) to
interpret and construe this Plan, any rules and regulations under this Plan and the terms and conditions of any Award granted hereunder,
and to make exceptions to any such provisions if the Committee, in good faith, determines that it is appropriate to do so;
(viii) to
approve corrections in the documentation or administration of any Award;
(ix) to
make all other determinations deemed necessary or advisable for the administration of this Plan; and
(x) to
adopt such procedures and sub-plans as are necessary or appropriate (A) to permit or facilitate participation in this Plan by persons
eligible to receive Awards under this Plan who are not citizens of or subject to taxation by, or who are employed outside, the United
States or (B) to allow Awards to qualify for special tax treatment in a jurisdiction other than the United States. Committee approval
will not be necessary for immaterial modifications to this Plan or any Award Agreement that are required for compliance with the laws
of the relevant jurisdiction.
Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary,
the Committee shall exercise its discretion in a manner that causes Awards to be compliant with or exempt from the requirements of Section
409A of the Code. Without limiting the foregoing, unless expressly agreed to in writing by the Participant holding an Award that is “deferred
compensation” under Section 409A of the Code, the Committee shall not take any action with respect to any Award which constitutes
(x) a modification of a stock right within the meaning of Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-1(b)(5)(v)(B) so as to constitute the grant of a new
stock right, (y) an extension of a stock right, including the addition of a feature for the deferral of compensation within
the meaning of Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-1 (b)(5)(v) (C), or (z) an impermissible acceleration of a payment date or a subsequent deferral
of a stock right subject to Section 409A of the Code within the meaning of Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-1(b)(5)(v)(E).
The Committee may, in its sole and absolute discretion,
without amendment to the Plan but subject to the limitations otherwise set forth in Section 20, waive or amend the operation
of Plan provisions respecting exercise after Termination of Employment. The Committee or any member thereof may, in its sole and absolute
discretion, except as otherwise provided in Section 20, waive, settle or adjust any of the terms of any Award so as to avoid
unanticipated consequences or address unanticipated events (including any temporary closure of an applicable stock exchange, disruption
of communications or natural catastrophe).
(c) Determinations
by the Committee. All decisions, determinations and interpretations by the Committee regarding the Plan, any rules and regulations
under the Plan and the terms and conditions of, or operation of, any Award granted hereunder, shall be final and binding on all Participants,
beneficiaries, heirs, assigns or other persons holding or claiming rights under the Plan or any Award. The Committee shall consider such
factors as it deems relevant, in its sole and absolute discretion, to making such decisions, determinations and interpretations, including
the recommendations or advice of any officer or other employee of the Company and such attorneys, consultants and accountants as it may
select. Members of the Board and members of the Committee acting under the Plan shall be fully protected in relying in good faith upon
the advice of counsel and shall incur no liability except for as a result of gross negligence or willful misconduct in the performance
of their duties.
(d) Subsidiary
Awards. In the case of a grant of an Award to any Participant employed by a Subsidiary, such grant may, if the Committee so directs,
be implemented by the Company issuing any subject Ordinary Shares to the Subsidiary, for such lawful consideration as the Committee may
determine, upon the condition or understanding that the Subsidiary will transfer the Ordinary Shares to the Participant in accordance
with the terms of the Award specified by the Committee pursuant to the provisions of the Plan. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof,
such Award may be issued by and in the name of the Subsidiary and shall be deemed granted on such date as the Committee shall determine.
7.
Plan Awards
(a) Terms
Set Forth in Award Agreement. Awards may be granted to Eligible Persons as determined by the Committee at any time and from time to
time prior to the termination of the Plan. The terms and conditions of each Award shall be set forth in an Award Agreement in a form approved
by the Committee for such Award, which Award Agreement may contain such terms and conditions as specified from time to time by the Committee,
provided such terms and conditions do not conflict with the Plan. The Award Agreement for any Award (other than Restricted Share Awards)
shall include the time or times at or within which and the consideration, if any, for which any Ordinary Shares or cash, as applicable,
may be acquired from the Company. The terms of Awards may vary among Participants, and the Plan does not impose upon the Committee any
requirement to make Awards subject to uniform terms. Accordingly, the terms of individual Award Agreements may vary.
(b) Termination
of Employment. Subject to the express provisions of the Plan, the Committee shall specify before, at, or after the time of grant of
an Award the provisions governing the effect(s) upon an Award of a Participant’s Termination of Employment.
(c) Rights
of a Shareholder. A Participant shall have no rights as a shareholder with respect to Ordinary Shares covered by an Award (including
voting rights) until the date the Participant becomes the holder of record of such Ordinary Shares. No adjustment shall be made for dividends
or other rights for which the record date is prior to such date, except as provided in Sections 10(b), 11(b) or 16 of
this Plan or as otherwise provided by the Committee.
8.
Options
(a) Grant,
Term and Price. The grant, issuance, retention, vesting and/or settlement of any Option shall occur at such time and be subject to
such terms and conditions as determined by the Committee or under criteria established by the Committee, which may include conditions
based on continued employment or engagement, passage of time, attainment of age and/or service requirements, and/or satisfaction of performance
conditions. The term of an Option shall in no event be greater than 10 years; provided, however, the term of an Option (other than an
Incentive Share Option) shall be automatically extended if, at the time of its scheduled expiration, the Participant holding such Option
is prohibited by law or the Company’s insider trading policy from exercising the Option, which extension shall expire on the 30th
day following the date such prohibition no longer applies. The Committee will establish the price at which Ordinary Shares may be purchased
upon exercise of an Option, which in no event will be less than the Fair Market Value of such shares on the date of grant; provided, however,
that the exercise price per Ordinary Share with respect to an Option that is granted as a Substitute Award may be less than the Fair Market
Value of the Ordinary Shares on the date such Option is granted if such exercise price is based on a formula set forth in the terms of
the options held by such optionees or in the terms of the agreement providing for such merger or other acquisition that satisfies the
requirements of (i) Section 409A of the Code, if such options held by such optionees are not intended to qualify as “incentive stock
options” within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code, and (ii) Section 424(a) of the Code, if such options held by such optionees
are intended to qualify as “incentive stock options” within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code. The exercise price of
any Option may be paid in cash or such other method as determined by the Committee, including an irrevocable commitment by a broker to
pay over such amount from a sale of the Ordinary Shares issuable under an Option, the delivery of previously owned Ordinary Shares or
withholding of Ordinary Shares deliverable upon exercise.
(b) Repricing.
Other than in connection with a change in the Company’s capitalization (as described in Section 16) or within the first
twenty-four months after the Effective Date, the Committee shall not, without shareholder approval, reduce the exercise price of a previously
awarded Option, provided, however, that at any time when the exercise price of an Option previously awarded at least two years ago is
at least 100% greater than the Fair Market Value of an Ordinary Share over a period of 90 trading days, the Committee may, in its sole
discretion and without shareholder approval, cancel and re-grant or exchange such Option for cash or a new Award with a lower (or no)
exercise price.
(c) No
Reload Grants. Options shall not be granted under the Plan in consideration for, and shall not be conditioned upon the delivery of,
Ordinary Shares to the Company in payment of the exercise price and/or tax withholding obligation under any other employee share option.
(d) Incentive
Share Options. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 8, in the case of the grant of an Incentive Share
Option, if the Participant owns shares possessing more than 10% of the combined voting power of all classes of shares of the Company,
the exercise price of such Option must be at least 110% of the Fair Market Value of the Ordinary Shares on the date of grant and the Option
must expire within a period of not more than five years from the date of grant. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 8 to
the contrary, Options designated as Incentive Share Options shall not be eligible for treatment under the Code as Incentive Share Options
(and will be deemed to be Nonqualified Share Options) to the extent that either (i) the aggregate Fair Market Value of the Ordinary Shares
(determined as of the time of grant) with respect to which such Options are exercisable for the first time by the Participant during any
calendar year (under all plans of the Company and any Subsidiary) exceeds $100,000, taking Options into account in the order in which
they were granted, or (ii) such Options otherwise remain exercisable but are not exercised within three months (or such other period of
time provided in Section 422 of the Code) of separation of service (as determined in accordance with Section 3401(c) of the Code and the
regulations promulgated thereunder).
(e) No
Shareholder Rights. Participants shall have no voting rights and will have no rights to receive dividends or Dividend Equivalents
in respect of an Option or any Ordinary Shares subject to an Option until the Participant has become the holder of record of such shares.
9.
Share Appreciation Rights
(a) General
Terms. The grant, issuance, retention, vesting and/or settlement of any Share Appreciation Right shall occur at such time and be subject
to such terms and conditions as determined by the Committee or under criteria established by the Committee, which may include conditions
based on continued employment or engagement, passage of time, attainment of age and/or service requirements, and/or satisfaction of performance
conditions. Share Appreciation Rights may be granted to Participants from time to time either in tandem with or as a component of Options
granted under the Plan (“tandem SARs”) or not in conjunction with other Awards (“freestanding SARs”).
Upon exercise of a tandem SAR as to some or all of the shares covered by the grant, the related Option shall be canceled automatically
to the extent of the number of shares covered by such exercise. Conversely, if the related Option is exercised as to some or all of the
shares covered by the grant, the related tandem SAR, if any, shall be canceled automatically to the extent of the number of shares covered
by the Option exercise. Any Share Appreciation Right granted in tandem with an Option may be granted at the same time such Option is granted
or at any time thereafter before exercise or expiration of such Option, provided that the Fair Market Value of an Ordinary Share on the
date of the SAR’s grant is not greater than the exercise price of the related Option. All freestanding SARs shall be granted subject
to the same terms and conditions applicable to Options as set forth in Section 8 and all tandem SARs shall have the same
exercise price as the Option to which they relate. Subject to the provisions of Section 8 and the immediately preceding
sentence, the Committee may impose such other conditions or restrictions on any Share Appreciation Right as it shall deem appropriate.
Share Appreciation Rights may be settled in Ordinary Shares, cash, Restricted Shares or a combination thereof, as determined by the Committee
and set forth in the applicable Award Agreement.
(b) No
Repricing without Shareholder Approval. Other than in connection with a change in the Company’s capitalization (as described
in Section 16) or within the first twenty-four months after the Effective Date, the Committee shall not, without shareholder
approval, reduce the exercise price of a previously awarded Share Appreciation Right, and at any time when the exercise price of a previously
awarded Share Appreciation Right is above the Fair Market Value of a Ordinary Share, the Committee shall not, without shareholder approval,
cancel and re-grant or exchange such Share Appreciation Right for cash or a new Award with a lower (or no) exercise price.
(c) No
Shareholder Rights. Participants shall have no voting rights and will have no rights to receive dividends or Dividend Equivalents
in respect of an Award of Share Appreciation Rights or any Ordinary Shares subject to an Award of Share Appreciation Rights until the
Participant has become the holder of record of such shares.
10.
Restricted Shares and Restricted Share Units
(a) Vesting
and Performance Criteria. The grant, issuance, vesting and/or settlement of any Award of Restricted Shares or Restricted Share Units
shall occur at such time and be subject to such terms and conditions as determined by the Committee or under criteria established by the
Committee, which may include conditions based on continued employment or engagement, passage of time, attainment of age and/or service
requirements, and/or satisfaction of performance conditions. In addition, the Committee shall have the right to grant Restricted Shares
or Restricted Share Unit Awards as the form of payment for grants or rights earned or due under other shareholder-approved compensation
plans or arrangements of the Company.
(b) Dividends
and Distributions. Participants in whose name Restricted Shares are granted shall be entitled to receive all dividends and other distributions
paid with respect to those Ordinary Shares, unless determined otherwise by the Committee. The Committee will determine whether any such
dividends or distributions will be automatically reinvested in additional Restricted Shares and/or subject to the same restrictions on
transferability as the Restricted Shares with respect to which they were distributed or whether such dividends or distributions will be
paid in cash. Shares underlying Restricted Share Units shall be entitled to dividends or distributions only to the extent provided by
the Committee. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event will dividends or Dividend Equivalents be paid during the
performance period with respect to unearned Awards of Restricted Shares or Restricted Share Units that are subject to performance-based
vesting criteria. Dividends or Dividend Equivalents accrued on such shares shall become payable no earlier than the date the performance-based
vesting criteria have been achieved and the underlying shares or Restricted Share Units have been earned.
11.
Other Share-Based Awards
(a) General
Terms. The Committee is authorized, subject to limitations under applicable law, to grant to Eligible Persons such other Awards
that may be denominated or payable in, valued in whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise based on, or related to, Ordinary Shares,
as deemed by the Committee to be consistent with the purposes of the Plan. The Committee shall determine the terms and conditions of such
Other Share-Based Awards. Ordinary Shares delivered pursuant to an Other Share-Based Award in the nature of a purchase right granted under
this Section 11 shall be purchased for such consideration, paid for at such times, by such methods, and in such forms,
including cash, Ordinary Shares, other Awards, or other property, as the Committee shall determine.
(b) Dividends
and Distributions. Shares underlying Other Share-Based Awards shall be entitled to dividends or distributions only to the extent provided
by the Committee. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event will Dividend Equivalents be paid during the performance
period with respect to unearned Other Share-Based Awards that are subject to performance-based vesting criteria. Dividend Equivalents
accrued on such shares shall become payable no earlier than the date the performance-based vesting criteria have been achieved and the
shares underlying the Other Share-Based Award have been earned.
12.
Incentive Bonuses
(a) Performance
Criteria. The Committee shall establish the performance criteria and level of achievement versus such criteria that shall determine
the amount payable under an Incentive Bonus, which may include a target, threshold and/or maximum amount payable and any formula for determining
such achievement, and which criteria may be based on performance conditions.
(b) Timing
and Form of Payment. The Committee shall determine the timing of payment of any Incentive Bonus. Payment of the amount due under an
Incentive Bonus may be made in cash or in Ordinary Shares, as determined by the Committee.
(c) Discretionary
Adjustments. Notwithstanding satisfaction of any performance goals and, the amount paid under an Incentive Bonus on account of either
financial performance or personal performance evaluations may be adjusted by the Committee on the basis of such further considerations
as the Committee shall determine.
13.
Performance Awards
The Committee may establish performance criteria
and level of achievement versus such criteria that shall determine the number of Ordinary Shares, Restricted Share Units, or cash to be
granted, retained, vested, issued or issuable under or in settlement of or the amount payable pursuant to an Award (any such Award, a
“Performance Award”). A Performance Award may be identified as “Performance Share,” “Performance
Equity,” “Performance Unit” or other such term as chosen by the Committee.
14.
Section 457A
To the extent that any Award is determined to
constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation” from a nonqualified entity within the meaning of Section 457A (a “457A
Award”), the Award shall be subject to such additional rules and requirements as may be specified by the Committee from
time to time. It is intended that any such 457A Award will either be in full compliance with or be exempt from Section 457A of the Code.
The Company makes no representation or warranty and shall have no liability to any Participant under the Plan or any other Person with
respect to any penalties or taxes under Section 457A that are, or may be, imposed with respect to any Award.
15.
Conditions and Restrictions Upon Securities Subject to Awards
The Committee may provide that the Ordinary Shares
issued upon exercise of an Option or Share Appreciation Right or otherwise subject to or issued under an Award shall be subject to such
further agreements, restrictions, conditions or limitations as the Committee in its discretion may specify prior to the exercise of such
Option or Share Appreciation Right or the grant, vesting or settlement of such Award, including conditions on vesting or transferability,
forfeiture or repurchase provisions and method of payment for the Ordinary Shares issued upon exercise, vesting or settlement of such
Award (including the actual or constructive surrender of Ordinary Shares already owned by the Participant) or payment of taxes arising
in connection with an Award. Without limiting the foregoing, such restrictions may address the timing and manner of any resales by the
Participant or other subsequent transfers by the Participant of any Ordinary Shares issued under an Award, including (a) restrictions
under an insider trading policy or pursuant to applicable law, (b) restrictions designed to delay and/or coordinate the timing and manner
of sales by the Participant and holders of other Company equity compensation arrangements, (c) restrictions as to the use of a specified
brokerage firm for such resales or other transfers and (d) provisions requiring Ordinary Shares be sold on the open market or to the Company
in order to satisfy tax withholding or other obligations.
16.
Adjustment of and Changes in the Shares
(a) The
number and kind of Ordinary Shares available for issuance under this Plan (including under any Awards then outstanding), and the number
and kind of Ordinary Shares subject to the limits set forth in Section 5, shall be equitably adjusted by the Committee to
reflect any reorganization, reclassification, combination of shares, share split, reverse share split, spin-off, extraordinary dividend
or distribution of securities, property or cash (and not regular, quarterly cash dividends), or any other event or transaction that affects
the number or kind of Ordinary Shares outstanding. Such adjustment may be designed to comply with Section 424 of the Code or may be designed
to treat the Ordinary Shares available under the Plan and subject to Awards as if they were all outstanding on the record date for such
event or transaction or to increase the number of such Ordinary Shares to reflect a deemed reinvestment in Ordinary Shares of the amount
distributed to the Company’s securityholders. The terms of any outstanding Award shall also be equitably adjusted by the Committee
as to price, number or kind of Ordinary Shares subject to such Award, vesting, and other terms to reflect the foregoing events, which
adjustments need not be uniform as between different Awards or different types of Awards. No fractional Ordinary Shares shall be issued
or issuable pursuant to such an adjustment.
(b) In
the event there shall be any other change in the number or kind of outstanding Ordinary Shares, or any shares or other securities into
which such Ordinary Shares shall have been changed, or for which it shall have been exchanged, by reason of a Change in Control, other
merger, consolidation or otherwise, then the Committee shall determine the appropriate and equitable adjustment to be effected, which
adjustments need not be uniform between different Awards or different types of Awards. In addition, in the event of such change described
in this paragraph, the Committee may accelerate the time or times at which any Award may be exercised, consistent with and as otherwise
permitted under Section 409A of the Code and may provide for cancellation of such accelerated Awards that are not exercised within a time
prescribed by the Committee in its sole discretion.
(c) Unless
otherwise expressly provided in the Award Agreement or another contract, including an employment, offer, services or severance agreement
or letter, or under the terms of a transaction constituting a Change in Control, the Committee shall provide that any or all of the following
shall occur upon a Participant’s Termination of Employment by the Company without Cause or by the Participant for Good Reason within
twenty-four (24) months following a Change in Control: (i) in the case of an Option or Share Appreciation Right, the Participant shall
have the ability to exercise any portion of the Option or Share Appreciation Right not previously exercisable, (ii) in the case of any
Award the vesting of which is in whole or in part subject to performance criteria or an Incentive Bonus, all conditions to the grant,
issuance, retention, vesting or transferability of, or any other restrictions applicable to, such Award shall immediately lapse and the
Participant shall have the right to receive a payment based on target level achievement or actual performance through a date determined
by the Committee, and (iii) in the case of outstanding Restricted Shares, Restricted Share Units or Other Share-Based Awards (other than
those referenced in subsection (ii)), all conditions to the grant, issuance, retention, vesting or transferability of, or any other restrictions
applicable to, such Award shall immediately lapse. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event of a Change in Control
in which the acquiring or surviving company in the transaction does not assume or continue outstanding Awards or issue substitute awards
upon the Change in Control, immediately prior to the Change in Control, all Awards that are not assumed, continued or substituted for
shall be treated as follows effective immediately prior to the Change in Control: (A) in the case of an Option or Share Appreciation Right,
the Participant shall have the ability to exercise such Option or Share Appreciation Right, including any portion of the Option or Share
Appreciation Right not previously exercisable, (B) in the case of any Award the vesting of which is in whole or in part subject to performance
criteria or an Incentive Bonus, all conditions to the grant, issuance, retention, vesting or transferability of, or any other restrictions
applicable to, such Award shall immediately lapse and the Participant shall have the right to receive a payment based on target level
achievement or actual performance through a date determined by the Committee, as determined by the Committee, and (C) in the case of outstanding
Restricted Shares, Restricted Share Units or Other Share-Based Awards (other than those referenced in subsection (B)), all conditions
to the grant, issuance, retention, vesting or transferability of, or any other restrictions applicable to, such Award shall immediately
lapse. In no event shall any action be taken pursuant to this Section 16(c) that would change the payment or settlement date
of an Award in a manner that would result in the imposition of any additional taxes or penalties pursuant to Section 409A of the Code.
(d) Notwithstanding
anything in this Section 16 to the contrary, in the event of a Change in Control, the Committee may provide for the cancellation
and cash settlement of all outstanding Awards upon such Change in Control.
(e) Notwithstanding
anything in this Section 16 to the contrary, an adjustment to an Option or Share Appreciation Right under this Section
16 shall be made in a manner that will not result in the grant of a new Option or Share Appreciation Right under Section 409A
of the Code.
17.
Transferability
Each Award may not be sold, transferred for value,
pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated by a Participant other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution,
and each Option or Share Appreciation Right shall be exercisable only by the Participant during his or her lifetime. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, (a) outstanding Options may be exercised following the Participant’s death by the Participant’s beneficiaries or
as permitted by the Committee and (b) a Participant may transfer or assign an Award as a gift to an entity wholly owned by such Participant
(an “Assignee Entity”), provided that such Assignee Entity shall be entitled to exercise assigned Options and
Share Appreciation Rights only during the lifetime of the assigning Participant (or following the assigning Participant’s death,
by the Participant’s beneficiaries or as otherwise permitted by the Committee) and provided further that such Assignee Entity shall
not further sell, pledge, transfer, assign or otherwise alienate or hypothecate such Award.
18.
Compliance with Laws and Regulations
(a) This
Plan, the grant, issuance, vesting, exercise and settlement of Awards hereunder, and the obligation of the Company to sell, issue or deliver
Ordinary Shares under such Awards, shall be subject to all applicable foreign, federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations, stock
exchange rules and regulations, and to such approvals by any governmental or regulatory agency as may be required. The Company shall not
be required to register in a Participant’s name or deliver Ordinary Shares prior to the completion of any registration or qualification
of such shares under any foreign, federal, state or local law or any ruling or regulation of any government body which the Committee shall
determine to be necessary or advisable. To the extent the Company is unable to or the Committee deems it infeasible to obtain authority
from any regulatory body having jurisdiction, which authority is deemed by the Company’s counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance
and sale of any Ordinary Shares hereunder, the Company and its Subsidiaries shall be relieved of any liability with respect to the failure
to issue or sell such Ordinary Shares as to which such requisite authority shall not have been obtained. No Option shall be exercisable
and no Ordinary Shares shall be issued and/or transferable under any other Award unless a registration statement with respect to the Ordinary
Shares underlying such Option is effective and current or the Company has determined, in its sole and absolute discretion, that such registration
is unnecessary.
(b) In
the event an Award is granted to or held by a Participant who is employed or providing services outside the United States, the Committee
may, in its sole discretion, modify the provisions of the Plan or of such Award as they pertain to such individual to comply with applicable
foreign law or to recognize differences in local law, currency or tax policy. The Committee may also impose conditions on the grant, issuance,
exercise, vesting, settlement or retention of Awards in order to comply with such foreign law and/or to minimize the Company’s obligations
with respect to tax equalization for Participants employed outside their home country.
19.
Withholding
To the extent required by applicable federal,
state, local or foreign law, the Committee may, and/or a Participant shall, make arrangements satisfactory to the Company for the satisfaction
of any withholding tax obligations that arise with respect to any Award or the issuance or sale of any Ordinary Shares. The Company shall
not be required to recognize any Participant rights under an Award, to issue Ordinary Shares or to recognize the disposition of such Ordinary
Shares until such obligations are satisfied. To the extent permitted or required by the Committee, these obligations may or shall be satisfied
by the Company withholding cash from any compensation otherwise payable to or for the benefit of a Participant, the Company withholding
a portion of the Ordinary Shares that otherwise would be issued to a Participant under such Award or any other Award held by the Participant,
or by the Participant tendering to the Company cash or, if allowed by the Committee, Ordinary Shares.
20.
Amendment of the Plan or Awards
The Board may amend, alter or discontinue this
Plan, and the Committee may amend or alter any Award Agreement or other document evidencing an Award made under this Plan; however, except
as provided pursuant to the provisions of Section 16, no such amendment shall, without the approval of the shareholders of
the Company:
(a)
increase the maximum number of Ordinary Shares for which Awards may be granted under this Plan;
(b)
reduce the price at which Options may be granted below the price provided for in Section 8(a);
(c)
reprice outstanding Options or SARs other than under the exceptions described in Sections 8(b) and 9(b);
(d)
extend the term of this Plan;
(e)
change the class of Persons eligible to be Participants;
(f)
increase the individual maximum limits in Section 5(e); or
(g) otherwise amend the Plan in
any manner requiring shareholder approval by law or the rules of any stock exchange or market or quotation system on which the Ordinary
Shares are traded, listed or quoted.
No amendment or alteration to the Plan or an Award
or Award Agreement shall be made which would materially impair the rights of the holder of an Award without such holder’s consent;
provided that no such consent shall be required if the Committee determines in its sole discretion and prior to the date of any Change
in Control that such amendment or alteration either (i) is required or advisable in order for the Company, the Plan or the Award to satisfy
any law or regulation or to meet the requirements of, or avoid adverse financial accounting consequences under, any accounting standard,
or (ii) is not reasonably likely to significantly diminish the benefits provided under such Award, or that any such diminishment has been
adequately compensated.
21.
No Liability of Company
The Company, any Subsidiary or Affiliate which
is in existence or hereafter comes into existence, the Board and the Committee shall not be liable to a Participant or any other person
as to: (a) the non-issuance or sale of Ordinary Shares as to which the Company has been unable to obtain from any regulatory body having
jurisdiction the authority deemed by the Company’s counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any Ordinary Shares
hereunder; and (b) any tax consequence expected, but not realized, by any Participant or other person due to the receipt, vesting, exercise
or settlement of any Award granted hereunder.
22.
Non-Exclusivity of Plan
Neither the adoption of this Plan by the Board
nor the submission of this Plan to the shareholders of the Company for approval shall be construed as creating any limitations on the
power of the Board or the Committee to adopt such other incentive arrangements as either may deem desirable, including the granting of
Restricted Shares or Options otherwise than under this Plan, and such arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only
in specific cases.
23.
Governing Law
This Plan and any agreements or other documents
hereunder shall be interpreted and construed in accordance with the laws of the Cayman Islands (without regard to its choice of law provisions).
Any reference in this Plan or in the agreement or other document evidencing any Awards to a provision of law or to a rule or regulation
shall be deemed to include any successor law, rule or regulation of similar effect or applicability.
24.
No Right to Employment, Reelection or Continued Service
Nothing in this Plan or an Award Agreement shall
interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company, its Subsidiaries and/or its Affiliates to terminate any Participant’s
employment, service on the Board or service at any time or for any reason not prohibited by law, nor shall this Plan or an Award itself
confer upon any Participant any right to continue his or her employment or service for any specified period of time. Neither an Award
nor any benefits arising under this Plan shall constitute an employment contract with the Company, any Subsidiary and/or its Affiliates.
Subject to Sections 4 and 20, this Plan and the benefits hereunder may be terminated at any time in the sole
and exclusive discretion of the Board without giving rise to any liability on the part of the Company, its Subsidiaries and/or its Affiliates.
25.
Specified Employee Delay
To the extent any payment under this Plan is considered
deferred compensation subject to the restrictions contained in Section 409A of the Code, such payment may not be made to a specified employee
(as determined in accordance with a uniform policy adopted by the Company with respect to all arrangements subject to Section 409A of
the Code) upon Separation from Service before the date that is six months after the specified employee’s Separation form Service
(or, if earlier, the specified employee’s death). Any payment that would otherwise be made during this period of delay shall be
accumulated and paid on the sixth month plus one day following the specified employee’s Separation from Service (or, if earlier,
as soon as administratively practicable after the specified employee’s death).
26.
No Liability of Committee Members
No member of the Committee shall be personally
liable by reason of any contract or other instrument executed by such member or on his or her behalf in his or her capacity as a member
of the Committee nor for any mistake of judgment made in good faith, and the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each member of
the Committee and each other employee, officer or director of the Company to whom any duty or power relating to the administration or
interpretation of the Plan may be allocated or delegated, against any cost or expense (including counsel fees) or liability (including
any sum paid in settlement of a claim) arising out of any act or omission to act in connection with the Plan, unless arising out of such
Person’s own fraud or willful bad faith; provided, however, that approval of the Board shall be required for the payment of any
amount in settlement of a claim against any such Person. The foregoing right of indemnification shall not be exclusive of any other rights
of indemnification to which such Persons may be entitled under the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws (as each may
be amended from time to time), as a matter of law, or otherwise, or any power that the Company may have to indemnify them or hold them
harmless.
27.
Severability
If any provision of the Plan or any Award is or
becomes or is deemed to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction or as to any Person or Award, or would disqualify the
Plan or any Award under any law deemed applicable by the Committee, such provision shall be construed or deemed amended to conform to
the applicable laws, or if it cannot be construed or deemed amended without, in the determination of the Committee, materially altering
the intent of the Plan or the Award, such provision shall be stricken as to such jurisdiction, Person or Award, and the remainder of the
Plan and any such Award shall remain in full force and effect.
28.
Unfunded Plan
The Plan is intended to be an unfunded plan. Participants
are and shall at all times be general creditors of the Company with respect to their Awards. If the Committee or the Company chooses to
set aside funds in a trust or otherwise for the payment of Awards under the Plan, such funds shall at all times be subject to the claims
of the creditors of the Company in the event of its bankruptcy or insolvency.
29.
Clawback/Recoupment
Awards granted under this Plan will be subject
to recoupment in accordance with any clawback policy that the Company adopts or is required to adopt pursuant to the listing standards
of any national securities exchange or association on which the Company’s securities are listed or as is otherwise required by the
Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act or other applicable law. In addition, the Committee may impose such other clawback,
recovery or recoupment provisions in an Award Agreement as the Committee determines necessary or appropriate, including a reacquisition
right in respect of previously acquired Ordinary Shares or other cash or property upon the occurrence of misconduct. No recovery of compensation
under such a clawback policy will be an event giving rise to a right to resign for Good Reason or otherwise be deemed to be a form of
“constructive termination” (or any similar term) as such terms are used in any agreement between any Participant and the Company.
30. Failure
to Accept Award. If a Participant has not accepted an Award to the extent such acceptance has been requested or required by the Company
or has not taken all administrative and other steps (e.g., setting up an account with a broker designated by the Company) necessary for
the Company to issue Ordinary Shares upon the vesting, exercise, or settlement of the Award prior to the first date the Ordinary Shares
subject to such Award are scheduled to vest, then the portion of the Award scheduled to vest on such date will be cancelled on such date
and such Shares subject to the Award immediately will revert to the Plan for no additional consideration unless otherwise provided by
the Administrator.
31.
Interpretation
Headings are given to the Sections and subsections
of the Plan solely as a convenience to facilitate reference and shall not be deemed in any way material or relevant to the construction
or interpretation of the Plan or any provision thereof. Words in the masculine gender shall include the feminine gender, and where appropriate,
the plural shall include the singular and the singular shall include the plural. The use herein of the word “including” following
any general statement, term or matter shall not be construed to limit such statement, term or matter to the specific items or matters
set forth immediately following such word or to similar items or matters, whether or not non-limiting language (such as “without
limitation”, “but not limited to”, or words of similar import) is used with reference thereto, but rather shall be deemed
to refer to all other items or matters that could reasonably fall within the broadest possible scope of such general statement, term or
matter. References herein to any agreement, instrument or other document means such agreement, instrument or other document as amended,
supplemented and modified from time to time to the extent permitted by the provisions thereof and not prohibited by the Plan.
