                  Company may at any time amend, relax or waive such conditions
                  and/or limitations so that any new conditions and/or
                  limitations imposed are in its opinion, more appropriate and
                  are in the reasonable opinion of the Board no more difficult
                  to abide by or satisfy than when they were originally imposed
                  or last amended as the case may be.

                                       -5-

2.3       Where the circumstances noted in Rule 5.1 apply New Options may be

release of Options previously granted under this Scheme. Such New Options are
deemed to be equivalent to the old Options and to have been granted within the
terms of this Scheme.

2.4       No Option may be transferred, assigned or charged and any purported
transfer, assignment or charge shall be void ab initio. Each Option Certificate
shall carry a statement to this effect.

2.5       Options shall be granted to Eligible Employees by an Option
Certificate executed as a deed specifying the Date of Grant, the number of
Shares subject to Option, the Exercise Price and any Exercise Conditions. The
Option Certificate shall be sent to the Option Holder together with a Letter of
Grant as soon as practicable after the Date of Grant.

2.6       No Option Holder shall have any right as a shareholder with respect
to any Share that is subject to an Option granted under this Scheme unless and
until the date of issuance of such Share in accordance with this Scheme and such
Option and the delivery to such Option Holder of a certificate or certificates
representing such Shares.

3.        LIMITATIONS ON GRANTS

3.1       Options may be granted pursuant to Rule 2.1 provided that such
grant does not result in the aggregate of:

          (a)     the number of Shares which remain issuable on the exercise of
                  Subsisting Options; and

          (b)     the number of Shares which have been issued pursuant to the
                  exercise of Options,

exceeding any limit set from time to time by the Board.

3.2       Any Option granted to an Eligible Employee shall be limited and
take effect so that immediately following such grant he would hold Subsisting
Options over Shares with an aggregate Market Value not exceeding L30,000, or
such other limit specified in paragraph 28 of Schedule 9.


<PAGE>

                                       -6-


         For the purpose of this Rule 3.3, Subsisting Options shall including
Subsisting Options granted under this Scheme and subsisting options granted
under all Other Option Schemes.

         For the purpose of this Rule 3.3 the Market Value of Shares shall be
calculated in accordance with paragraph 28(3) of Schedule 9.

4.        EXERCISE OF OPTIONS AND OTHER OPTION TERMS

4.1       Subject to each of the rules of this Rule 4 and Rule 7 below any
Option may be exercised by the Option Holder in whole or in part as determined
by any Exercise Conditions imposed pursuant to Rule 2.2, but not earlier than
the date which is 90 days following the date on which the Company becomes a
Public Company.

4.2       No Option may be exercised by an Option Holder at any time when he
is precluded by paragraph 8 of Schedule 9 from participating in the Scheme. The
grant of such Options and the issuance of Shares under this Scheme and under
such Options, as the case may be, shall be carried out in compliance with
applicable law and with the rules, regulations and published policies of
governmental and regulatory authorities and applicable stock exchanges.

4.3       Each Option shall lapse, expire and terminate and become thereafter
incapable of exercise with respect to some or all of the Shares for which it
may be otherwise have been exercised as provided in the Exercise Conditions,
provided that, to the extent that such Option has not previously lapsed, expired
or terminated, such Option will so lapse, expire and terminate and become
thereafter incapable of exercise with respect to all Shares on the occurrence
of the eighth anniversary of the Date of Grant.

4.4       To the extent that an Option lapses, expires or terminates, such
event shall not increase the capacity of the Company to grant further Options
within any limit on the number of Shares available for the Scheme set by the
Board pursuant to Rule 3.1.

4.5       Each Option Holder shall cooperate with the Company, the
Corporation and D2D in relation to obtaining any registration or qualification
of any Shares or any other approval of any governmental or regulatory body which
is required, necessary or desirable under any applicable law, rule, regulation
or published policy of such body in connection with the exercise of an Option
and shall have no claim or cause of action against any of the Company, the
Corporation or D2D or any Subsidiary of any


<PAGE>

                                       -7-

of them or any of their officers or directors, as a result of any failure by
the Company, the Corporation or D2D to obtain or to take any steps to
obtain any such registration, qualification or approval.


5.        OPTION EXCHANGES

5.1       If as a result of any of the events specified in Rule 5.2, a
company has obtained Control of the Company, or if a company has become bound or
entitled to acquire Shares as mentioned in Rule 5.2, the Option Holder may, if
the company which is the Acquiring Company in respect of that event so agrees,
release any Subsisting Option he holds in consideration for the grant of a New
Option.

         A New Option issued in consideration of the release of an Option shall
be evidenced by an Option Certificate which shall import the relevant provisions
of these Rules and of the Exercise Conditions.

         A New Option shall, for all other purposes of this Scheme, be treated
as having been acquired at the same time as the corresponding released Option.

5.2       The events specified for the purpose of Rule 5.1 are:

          (a)     any company obtaining control of the Company as a result of
                  making:

                 (i)   a general offer to acquire the whole of the issued share
                       capital of the Company (other than that which is already
                       owned by him) which is unconditional or which is made on
                       a condition such that if it is satisfied the person
                       making the offer will have Control of the Company; or

                 (ii)  a general offer to acquire all the shares (other than
                       shares which are already owned by him) in the Company
                       which are of the same class as Shares subject to a
                       Subsisting Option; or

          (b)    any person becoming bound or entitled to acquire Shares in the
                 Company under sections 428 to 430 of the COMPANIES ACT 1985; or

          (c)     any person obtaining Control of the Company other than as a
                  result of the events specified in Rule 5.2(a) above.


<PAGE>

                                       -8-


5.3       For the purpose of this Rule 5 other than Rule 5.1 a person shall
be deemed to have obtained Control of a Company if he and others acting in
concert with him have together obtained Control of it.

5.4       A New Option shall not be exercisable by virtue of the event
pursuant to which it was granted.

6.        VARIATION OF SHARE CAPITAL

6.1       In the event of any variation of the share capital of the Company,
including, but without prejudice to the generality of the preceding words, any
capitalization or rights issue or any consolidation, subdivision or reduction of
capital of the Company, the number of Shares subject to any Option and the
Exercise Price may be adjusted by the Company in such manner as the Auditors
confirm in writing to be, in their opinion, fair and reasonable to prevent
substantial dilution or enlargement of the rights granted to, or available to,
Option Holders, provided that:

          (a)     the Exercise Price for a Share subject to an Option to
                  Subscribe is not reduced below the nominal value, if any, of
                  a Share unless (and to the extent that) the Company is
                  authorised to capitalise from its undistributed profits or
                  reserves upon the exercise of such Option an amount equal to
                  the difference between the aggregate Exercise Price and the
                  aggregate nominal value of the Shares to be issued upon such
                  exercise and to apply such sum in paying up the difference;

          (b)     at any time when the Scheme remains approved by the Inland
                  Revenue, no adjustment shall take effect without the prior
                  approval of the Board of Inland Revenue; and

          (c)     at any time when the Scheme remains approved by the Inland
                  Revenue following the adjustment, the Shares continue to
                  satisfy the conditions specified in paragraphs 10 to 14
                  inclusive of Schedule 9.

         Such variation shall be deemed to be effective and binding on all
persons once any necessary Inland Revenue approval has been given, from the
record date at which the respective variation applied to other shares of the
same class as the Shares. Any Options exercised within that period shall be
treated as exercised with the benefit of the variation confirmed by the Auditors
as aforesaid.


<PAGE>

                                       -9-


6.2       If an adjustment is made pursuant to Rule 6.1 above with the
intention that the Scheme shall cease to be approved by the Inland Revenue, the
Company shall immediately notify the Inland Revenue.

6.3       The Company shall take such steps as it considers necessary to
notify Option Holders of any adjustment made under Rule 6.1 and may call in,
cancel, endorse, issue or reissue any Option Certificate consequent upon such
adjustment.

7.        MANNER OF EXERCISE OF OPTIONS

7.1       No Option may be exercised whilst the Scheme is and is intended to
remain approved by the Inland Revenue unless the Shares satisfy the conditions
specified in paragraphs 10 to 14 inclusive of Schedule 9.

7.2       Subject to the Exercise Conditions, an Option shall be exercised in
whole or in part by the Option Holder giving notice in writing to the Company by
the appropriate Notice of Exercise detailing the number of Shares in respect of
which the corresponding Option is being exercised and accompanied by a certified
cheque, bank draft or money order in the amount of the aggregate Exercise Price
for such number of Shares and the relevant Option Certificate. Any exercise of
an Option thereby effected shall be irrevocable and binding from the time such
notice is given in such manner.

7.3       Subject to Rule 7.4 where an Option is exercised, the number of
Shares specified in the Notice of Exercise given in accordance with Rule 7.2
shall be allotted and issued credited as fully paid to the Option Holder within
30 days after the date of exercise and the Company shall arrange for the
delivery of a definitive share certificate in respect thereof. Save for any
rights determined by reference to a record date preceding the date of allotment,
such Shares shall rank pari passu with the other shares of the same class then
outstanding.

7.4       When an Option is exercised in part, the Option shall remain
exercisable with respect to the balance of the Shares subject thereto on the
same terms as originally applied to the Option, subject in all cases to these
Rules and to the terms of such Option, including the terms of the applicable
Exercise Conditions, and a new Option Certificate in respect of the balance of
such Shares shall be issued by the Company as soon as practicable after the
partial exercise.

7.5       Where Shares are or become quoted on any Recognised Exchange, the
Company shall apply for Shares issued on the exercise of any Option to be
admitted to that exchange, if they were not so admitted already.


<PAGE>

                                       -10-


7.6       Where Shares are quoted on any Recognised Exchange then no Option
may be exercised in contravention of the terms of any securities transactions
rules of that Recognised Exchange as may from time to time be in force.

8.        ADMINISTRATION AND AMENDMENT

8.1       The Scheme shall be administered by the Board whose decision on all
disputes shall be final save where the Rules require the concurrence of the
Auditors.

8.2       The Company may from time to time amend these Rules provided that:

          (a)     no amendment may materially affect an Option Holder as
                  regards an Option granted prior to the amendment being made;

          (b)     no amendment may be made without the consent of:

                  (i)     Onex Corporation; and

                  (ii)    subject to Rule 8.3, the persons appointed from time
                          to time as the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief
                          Financial Officer (or persons holding such offices,
                          however designated) of the Corporation;

          (c)     no amendment shall have effect until approved by the Board of
                  Inland Revenue whilst the Scheme is and is intended to remain

    TO BE TYPED ON HEADED NOTE PAPER OF CELESTICA INTERNATIONAL HOLDINGS INC.





Dear [OPTION HOLDER]:

              CELESTICA INTERNATIONAL HOLDINGS INC. (THE "COMPANY")
        THE CELESTICA 1997 UK APPROVED SHARE OPTION SCHEME (THE "SCHEME")

         I am pleased to inform you that the Company has granted you an option
under the rules of the Scheme on [ ] ("the Date of Grant") to subscribe for
[Number] of Class A Shares in the capital of the Company at an Exercise Price of
[ ] per share ("the Option"). Accordingly, I enclose an Option Certificate which
sets out the terms of the Option.

         Please note that the exercise of the Option is conditional on
satisfying the conditions set out in the Schedule attached to the Option
Certificate.

         When you wish to exercise the Option, whether in whole or in part, you
should complete the notice of exercise on the back of your Option Certificate
and send it to me. If you are only exercising part of the Option, a new
certificate will be sent to you together with a fresh notice of exercise. The
certificate states when you may first exercise your Option (although you may be
able to exercise it earlier in certain special circumstances specified in the
rules of the Scheme).

         The Company has delivered to the Inland Revenue a copy of an
undertaking made by it and approved by a resolution of the Directors to the
effect that the Directors will not use their power to refuse to register a
transfer of shares (conferred by the Company's articles of incorporation) to
discriminate against shareholders who acquired their shares by the exercise of
an option granted under the rules of the Scheme.

         Under current legislation, there will be no charge to income tax on the
exercise of the Option if, in addition to complying with the Rules of the
Scheme, you exercise the Option:

          -    not earlier than 3 or later than 10 years after the Date of
               Grant; and


<PAGE>

                                       -2-

          -    not earlier than 3 years following the last exercise by you of
               an Option (obtained under this or any other approved executive
               share option scheme) which enjoyed relief from income tax.
               Options exercised on the same day are treated as one exercise
               for this purpose.


                                                     Yours sincerely

                                                     [Representative]


Note:     This letter and the Option Certificate are important documents and
          should be kept in a safe place.
