        in a particular case, Share Options may be exercised in whole or in part
        at any
        time during the term of the Option by giving written notice of exercise to
        the

        be in

        in

        payments shall be made by wire transfer, certified or bank check or personal
        check, in each case payable to the order of the Company; provided, however,
        that
        the Company shall not be required to deliver certificates for Ordinary Shares
        with respect to which an Option is exercised until the Company has confirmed

        receipt of good and available funds in payment of the purchase price thereof
        (except that, in the case of an exercise arrangement approved by the Committee
        and described in the last sentence of this paragraph, payment may be made
        as
        soon as practicable after the exercise). Payments in the form of Ordinary
        Shares
        shall be valued at the Fair Market Value on the date prior to the date of
        exercise. Such payments shall be made by delivery of share certificates in
        negotiable form that are effective to transfer good and valid title thereto
        to
        the Company, free of any liens or encumbrances. A Holder shall have none
        of the
        rights of a shareholder with respect to the shares subject to the Option
        until
        such shares shall be transferred to the Holder upon the exercise of the Option.
        The Committee may permit a Holder to elect to pay the Exercise Price upon
        the
        exercise of a Share Option by irrevocably authorizing a third party to sell
        Ordinary Shares (or a sufficient portion of the shares) acquired upon exercise
        of the Share Option and remit to the Company a sufficient portion of the
        sale
        proceeds to pay the entire Exercise Price and any tax withholding resulting

        consideration, or (B) pursuant to a domestic relations order, in either case,

        an
        interest in that entity, subject to such limits as the Committee may establish
        and the execution of such documents as the Committee may require, and the
        transferee shall remain subject to all the terms and conditions applicable
        to
        the Share Option prior to such transfer. The term &#8220;Immediate Family&#8221; shall mean
        any child, stepchild, grandchild, parent, stepparent, grandparent, spouse,
        former spouse, sibling, niece, nephew, mother-in-law, father-in-law, son-in-law,

        relationships, any person sharing the Holder&#8217;s household (other than a tenant or

        beneficial interest, and a foundation in which these persons (or the Holder)
        control the management of the assets.</font></div>
