     1. GRANT OF OPTION

     Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Plan, the Company hereby grants to the Optionee an option (the “Option”) to purchase an aggregate of 1.319994 Ordinary Shares (the “Option Shares”).

The number of Option Shares shall be subject to adjustment in the event of changes in the capitalization of the Company as set forth in Section 19 of the Plan.

     2. EXERCISE PRICE

     Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, the exercise price (the “Option Price”) of this Option shall be $2,453,728 per Option Share (prorated for any partial Option Share), which is not less than the fair market value of the Ordinary Shares on the date of grant. The Option Price of this Option shall be subject to adjustment in the event of changes in the capitalization of the Company, as set forth in Section 19 of the Plan.

     3. TERM AND VESTING OF OPTION

     (a) Option Period. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, this Option shall terminate and all rights to purchase shares hereunder shall cease on the tenth anniversary of the Grant Date.

     (b) Vesting and Exercisability. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, this Option shall become exercisable upon the occurrence of the events

described in the following schedule and shall be exercisable as to not more than the vested percentage of the shares subject to this Option as follows:

For purposes hereof, the term “Market Capitalization” shall mean the closing sale price for an Ordinary Share on the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation System, or the principal U.S. securities exchange on which the Ordinary Shares are then listed, or if the Ordinary Shares are not quoted on the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation System and is not listed on a U.S. national or regional exchange, as reported on the principal other market on which the Ordinary Shares are then traded, multiplied by the total number of Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding as of such date.

     4. PROVISIONS OF PLAN.

     The provisions of the Plan shall govern if and to the extent that there are inconsistencies between those provisions and the provisions hereof. By execution of this Agreement, the Optionee acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan and represents that he or she (a) is familiar with the terms and provisions thereof, (b) accepts this Option granted hereby subject to all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement and the Plan, and (c) after reviewing the Plan and this Agreement in their entirety, has had the opportunity to obtain the advice of counsel and fully understands all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement and the Plan prior to the execution hereof.

     5. MANNER OF EXERCISE AND PAYMENT

          (a) Exercise. This Option may be exercised to the extent vested as provided in Section 3 hereof by delivery to the Company on any business day, at its principal office, addressed to the attention of the President of written notice of exercise, which notice shall specify the number of shares with respect to which this Option is being exercised, and shall be accompanied by payment in full of the Option Price of the shares for which this Option is being exercised, by one or more of the methods provided below.

          (b) Payment. Payment of the Option Price for the Ordinary Shares purchased pursuant to the exercise of this Option shall be made (i) in cash or in cash equivalents; (ii) through the tender to the Company of Ordinary Shares, which shares shall be valued, for purposes of determining the extent to which the Option Price has been paid thereby, at their fair market value (determined in good faith by the Board) on the date of exercise; (iii) by delivering a written direction to the Company that this Option be exercised pursuant to a “cashless” exercise/sale procedure (pursuant to which funds to pay for exercise of this Option are delivered to the Company by a broker upon receipt of stock certificates from the Company) or a cashless exercise/loan procedure (pursuant to which the Optionee would obtain a margin loan from a broker to fund the exercise) through a licensed broker acceptable to the Company whereby the stock certificate or certificates for the Ordinary Shares for which this Option is exercised will be delivered to such broker as the agent for the individual exercising this Option and the broker will deliver to the Company cash (or cash equivalents acceptable to the Company) equal to the Option Price for the Ordinary Shares purchased pursuant to the exercise of this Option plus the amount (if any) of federal and other taxes that the Company, may, in its judgment, be required to withhold with respect to the exercise of this Option; (iv) to the extent permitted by applicable law and agreed to by the Board in its sole and absolute discretion, by the delivery of a promissory note of the Optionee to the Company on such terms as the Board shall specify in its sole and absolute discretion; or (v) by a combination of the methods described in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv). Payment in full of the Option Price need not accompany the written notice of exercise if this Option is exercised pursuant to the cashless exercise/sale procedure described above.

Promptly after the exercise of this Option, Optionee shall be entitled to the issuance of a certificate or certificates evidencing his ownership of such Ordinary Shares. The Company shall use reasonable efforts to deliver the certificate within seven (7) days following such exercise. An individual holding or exercising an Option shall have none of the rights of a shareholder until the Ordinary Shares covered thereby are fully paid and issued to him and, except as provided in Section 19 of the Plan, no adjustment shall be made for dividends or other rights for which the record date is prior to the date of such issuance.

          (d) Execution of Shareholders’ Agreement as Condition to Exercise of Option.

     8. MISCELLANEOUS

          (a) Waivers, Etc.
