Appendix B - 2025 Long Term Incentive Plan

Article I. BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE

1.1 The Plan’s purpose is to (i) enhance the Company’s ability to attract, retain and motivate persons who make (or are expected to make) important contributions to the Company by providing these individuals with equity ownership opportunities, (ii) align the interests of such individuals with the Company’s shareholders and (iii) promote ownership of the Company’s equity. Capitalized terms used in the Plan are defined in Article XV. This Plan applies to all Awards granted on or after the Effective Date.

The Plan was adopted by the Board on February 28, 2025, and it becomes effective upon approval by the shareholders of the Company and the Applicable Stock Exchange (the “Effective Date”) in accordance with Section 14.3. As of the Effective Date, no additional awards will be granted under the Prior Plans. Awards granted prior to the Effective Date under a Prior Plan (“Prior Plan Awards”) will continue to be governed by the terms and conditions of the applicable Prior Plan and corresponding Award Agreement. The terms of this Plan are not intended to affect the interpretation of the terms of any Prior Plan as they existed prior to the Effective Date.

Article II. ELIGIBILITY

2.1 Eligible Individuals are eligible to be granted Awards under the Plan, subject to the limitations described herein. All Awards granted under the Plan are discretionary and grants of Awards hereunder do not entitle Eligible Individuals to future grants of Awards.

Article III. ADMINISTRATION AND DELEGATION

3.1 Administration. The Plan is administered by the Administrator. The Administrator will have the authority in its sole discretion to exercise all of the powers granted to it under the Plan. The Administrator has authority to determine which Eligible Individuals receive Awards, grant Awards and set Award terms and conditions, subject to the conditions and limitations in the Plan. The Administrator also has the authority to take all actions and make all determinations under the Plan, to interpret the Plan and Award Agreements and to adopt, amend and repeal Plan administrative rules, guidelines and practices (including those governing the Administrator’s own operations) as it deems advisable. The Administrator may correct defects and ambiguities, supply omissions and reconcile inconsistencies in the Plan or any Award as it deems necessary or appropriate to administer the Plan and any Awards, may amend the Plan to reflect changes in applicable law and may amend any Award Agreement in any respect (including modify, waive, amend, or adjust the terms and conditions of any Award, at any time or from time to time, including but not limited to Performance Criteria), subject to the conditions and limitations in the Plan. The Administrator’s determinations under the Plan are in its sole discretion and will be final and binding on all persons having or claiming any interest in the Plan or any Award.

3.2 Decisions Final. Any decision, interpretation, or other action made or taken in good faith by or at the direction of the Company, the Board, or the Committee (or any of its members) arising out of or in connection with this Plan shall be within the absolute discretion of all and each of them, as the case may be, and shall be final, binding, and conclusive on the Company and all employees and Participants and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors, and assigns.

3.3 Appointment of Committees. To the extent Applicable Laws permit, the Board may delegate any or all of its powers under the Plan to one or more Committees. The Board will, at all times, have all of the authority and responsibility delegated to a Committee hereunder and may abolish any Committee or re-vest in itself any previously delegated authority at any time. The Board (or its delegate) may in its sole discretion appoint from time to time one or more entities to act as administrative agent to administer the Awards granted under the Plan and to act as trustee to hold and administer the assets that may be held in respect of Awards granted under the Plan, the whole in accordance with the terms and conditions determined by the Board in its sole discretion.

3.4 Administrator. To the extent Applicable Laws permit, the Administrator, within its sole discretion, may delegate any of its duties and powers to any Director(s) or any officer(s) of the Company or its Subsidiaries.

Article IV. SHARES AVAILABLE FOR AWARDS

4.1 Number of Shares. Subject to adjustment under Article XII and the terms of this Article IV, the total number of Shares which may be delivered pursuant to Awards granted under the Plan on or after the Effective Date shall not exceed 7,000,000 Shares (the “Overall Share Limit”); provided that the Overall Share Limit shall be reduced on a one-for-one basis by any awards settled in Shares under the Prior Plans that are granted between April 22, 2025 and the date of the approval of this Plan by the shareholders of the Company.

4.2 Shares Counted Against the Overall Share Limit. If, on or after the Effective Date, any Award is settled in cash, forfeited or otherwise terminates or is canceled without the delivery of Shares, then the Shares covered by such forfeited, terminated or canceled Award shall thereafter become available to be delivered pursuant to Awards granted under this Plan. Shares are surrendered or withheld from any Award to satisfy any obligation of the Participant (including Federal, state, Canadian or foreign taxes) or Shares owned by a Participant are tendered to pay the grant, exercise or purchase price of any Award shall count against the Overall Share Limit at the time such Share is surrendered, withheld or tendered andshall not be available to be delivered pursuant to other Awards granted under this Plan. The payment of any dividend equivalent right in cash in conjunction with any outstanding Awards shall not count against the Overall Share Limit. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 4.2 does not apply to Prior Plan Awards, and in no event will Shares underlying Prior Plan Awards become available to be delivered under this Plan (including if such Prior Plan Awards are settled in cash, forfeited, withheld or otherwise are terminated without the delivery of Shares).

4.3 Annual Limit on Non-Employee Director Compensation. In each calendar year during any part of which this Plan is in effect, a Non-Employee Director may not receive Awards for such individual’s service on the Board that, taken together with any cash fees paid to such Non-Employee Director during such calendar year for such individual’s service on the Board, have a value in excess of 750,000 United States Dollars (calculating the value of any such Awards based on the grant date fair value of such Awards for financial reporting purposes); provided that, (a) the Administrator may make exceptions to this limit, except that the Non-Employee Director receiving such additional compensation may not participate in the decision to award such compensation or in other contemporaneous decisions involving compensation for Non-Employee Directors and (b) for the calendar year in which the pricing date of the Company’s initial public offering occurs or for any calendar year in which a Non-Employee Director (i) first commences service on the Board, (ii) serves on a special committee of the Board, or (iii) serves as lead director or non-executive chair of the Board, additional compensation may be provided to such Non-Employee Director in excess of such limit.

4.4 Incentive Stock Option Limitations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, a number of Shares that is no more than the Overall Share Limit may be issued pursuant to the exercise of Incentive Stock Options.

4.5 Substitute Awards.

(a)In connection with an Extraordinary Corporate Event involving the Company, a Change of Control, or the Company’s or any Subsidiary’s acquisition of an entity’s property or shares, the Administrator may grant Awards in substitution for any options or other share, share-based or share-linked awards granted before such Extraordinary Corporate Event, Change of Control or acquisition. Substitute Awards may be granted on such terms as the Administrator deems appropriate, notwithstanding limitations on Awards in the Plan. Substitute Awards will not count against the Overall Share Limit (nor shall Shares subject to a Substitute Award be added to the Shares available for Awards under the Plan as provided in Section 4.2).

(b)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event of a take-over bid or potential Change of Control, the Board will have the power, in its sole discretion, to modify the terms of the Plan and/or the Awards to assist the Participants in tendering to a take-over bid or other transaction leading to a Change of Control. For greater certainty, in the event of a take-over bid or other transaction leading to a Change of Control, the Board has the power, in its sole discretion, to accelerate the vesting of Awards and to permit Participants to conditionally exercise their Awards, such conditional exercise to be conditional upon the take-up by such offeror of the Shares or other securities tendered to such take-over bid in accordance with the terms of the take-over bid (or the effectiveness of such other transaction leading to a Change of Control). If, however, the potential Change of Control referred to in this Section 4.5(b) is not completed within the time specified (as the same may be extended), then despite this Section 4.5(b) or the definition of “Change of Control”, (i) any conditional exercise of vested Awards will be deemed to be null, void and of no effect, and such conditionally exercised Awards will for all purposes be deemed not to have been exercised, and (ii) Awards which vested pursuant to this Section 4.5(b) will be returned by the Participant to the Company and reinstated as authorized but unissued Shares and the original terms applicable to such Awards will be reinstated.

(c)If the Board has, pursuant to the provisions of Section 4.5(b) permitted the conditional exercise of Awards in connection with a potential Change of Control, then the Board will have the power, in its sole discretion, to terminate, immediately following actual completion of such Change of Control and on such terms as it sees fit, any Awards not exercised (including all vested and unvested Awards).

Article V. OPTIONS

5.1 General. The Administrator may grant Options to Eligible Individuals subject to the limitations in the Plan, including any limitations in the Plan that apply to Incentive Stock Options. The Administrator will determine the number of Shares covered by each Option, the exercise price of each Option and the vesting and other conditions and limitations applicable to each Option including, without limitation, any Performance Criteria if so desired. The terms and conditions for exercise of the Option will be included in the Participant’s Award Agreement.

5.2 Exercise Price. The Administrator will establish each Option’s exercise price and specify the exercise price in the Award Agreement. The exercise price will not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of the Share on the grant date (as determined pursuant to Section 15.26).

5.3 Expiration. Each Option will be exercisable at such times and as specified by the Administrator in the Award Agreement; provided that, in no event will any share option be exercisable after the expiration of ten years from the date on which the Option is granted. Notwithstanding the foregoing and unless determined otherwise by the Company, in the event that on the last business day of the term of an Option (other than an Incentive Stock Option) the exercise of the Option is prohibited by a Blackout Period, the term of the Option shall be extended until the date that is the tenth Trading Day following the expiration of the Blackout Period; provided, however, in no event shall the extension last beyond the ten year term of the applicable Option.

5.4 Violation of Restrictive Covenant. The Administrator, in its discretion, may include within an Award Agreement that notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Plan, if the Participant other than Non-Employee Directors, prior to the end of the term of an Option, violates the non-competition, non-solicitation, confidentiality or other similar restrictive covenant provisions of any Company policy, employment contract, confidentiality or nondisclosure agreement or other agreement between the Participant and the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, the right of the Participant and the Participant’s transferees to exercise any Option issued to the Participant shall terminate immediately upon such violation, unless determined otherwise by the Administrator.

5.5 Exercise. Options may be exercised by delivering to the Administrator a written notice of exercise, in a form the Administrator approves (which may be electronic), signed by the person authorized to exercise the Option, together with, as applicable, payment in full (i) as specified in Section 5.6 for the number of Shares for which the Award is exercised and (ii) as specified in Section 13.7 for any applicable taxes. Unless the Administrator otherwise determines, an Option may not be exercised for a fraction of a Share.

5.6 Automatic Exercise/Surrender. The Administrator may include a provision in an Award Agreement providing for the automatic exercise or surrender of a Non-Qualified Stock Option on a cashless basis on the last day of the term of such Option if the Participant has failed to exercise the Non-Qualified Stock Option as of such date, with respect to which the Fair Market Value of the Shares underlying the Non-Qualified Stock Option exceeds the exercise price of such Non-Qualified Stock Option on the date of expiration of such Option.

5.7 Payment Upon Exercise. Subject to Section 14.9, any Company insider trading policy (including Blackout Periods) and Applicable Laws, the exercise price of an Option must be paid by:

(a)certified check, bank draft or money order payable to the order of the Company;

(b)to the extent permitted by Applicable Law and the Administrator, if there is a public market for Shares at the time of exercise, unless the Company otherwise determines, (A) delivery (including telephonically to the extent permitted by the Company) of an irrevocable and unconditional undertaking by a broker acceptable to the Company to deliver promptly to the Company sufficient funds to pay the exercise price, or (B) the Participant’s delivery to the Company of a copy of irrevocable and unconditional instructions to a broker acceptable to the Company to deliver promptly to the Company cash or a check sufficient to pay the exercise price; provided that, such amount is paid to the Company at such time as may be required by the Administrator;

(c)to the extent permitted by Applicable Law and the Administrator, on such other terms and conditions as may be acceptable to the Administrator (including, without limitation, wire transfer of immediately available funds or having the Company withhold Shares issuable upon exercise of the Option (with the Fair Market Value of such withheld Shares determined as of the exercise date in the sole discretion of the Administrator)); or

(d)to the extent permitted by the Company, any combination of the above payment forms approved by the Administrator.

5.8 Termination. Unless otherwise set forth in an Award Agreement, upon a Participant’s Termination of Service for any reason, Options will be treated as set forth in Exhibit I attached hereto.

5.9 Additional Terms of Incentive Stock Options. The Administrator may grant Incentive Stock Options only to employees of the Company, any of its present or future parent or subsidiary corporations, as defined in Sections 424(e) or (f) of the Code, respectively, and any other entities the employees of which are eligible to receive Incentive Stock Options under the Code (and in no event may the Administrator grant Incentive Stock Options to Non-Employee Directors). If an Incentive Stock Option is granted to a Greater Than 10% Shareholder, the exercise price will not be less than 110% of the Fair Market Value on the grant date (as determined pursuant to Section 15.26) of the Incentive Stock Option, and in no event will such Incentive Stock Option be exercisable after the expiration of five years from the date on which the Incentive Stock Option is granted. All Incentive Stock Options will be subject to and construed consistently with Section 422 of the Code. By accepting an Incentive Stock Option, the Participant agrees to give prompt notice to the Company of dispositions or other transfers of Shares acquired under the Option made within (i) two years from the grant date of the Option or (ii) one year after the transfer of such Shares to the Participant, specifying the date of the disposition or other transfer and the amount the Participant realized, in cash, other property, assumption of indebtedness or other consideration, in such disposition or other transfer. Neither the Company nor the Administrator will be liable to a Participant, or any other party, if an Incentive Stock Option fails or ceases to qualify as an “incentive stock option” under

Section 422 of the Code. Any Incentive Stock Option or portion thereof that fails to qualify as an “incentive stock option” under Section 422 of the Code for any reason, including becoming exercisable with respect to Shares having a fair market value exceeding the U.S. $100,000 limitation under Treasury Regulation Section 1.422-4, will be a Non-Qualified Stock Option.

Article VI. RESTRICTED SHARE; RESTRICTED SHARE UNITS

6.1 General. The Administrator may grant Restricted Shares, or the right to purchase Restricted Shares, to any Eligible Individual, subject to the Company’s right to repurchase all or part of such Shares at their issue price or other stated or formula price from the Participant (or to require forfeiture of such Shares) if conditions the Administrator specifies in the Award Agreement are not satisfied before the end of the applicable restriction period or periods that the Administrator establishes for such Award. In addition, the Administrator may grant Restricted Shares Units to Eligible Individuals, which may be subject to vesting and forfeiture conditions during the applicable restriction period or periods, as set forth in an Award Agreement. The Administrator will determine and set forth in the Award Agreement the terms and conditions for each Restricted Shares Award and Restricted Shares Unit Award including, without limitation, any vesting and Performance Criteria if so desired, subject to the conditions and limitations contained in the Plan.

6.2 Restricted Shares.

(a)Dividends. All ordinary cash dividends or other ordinary distributions upon any Award of Restricted Shares will be retained by the Company and will be paid to the relevant Participant (without interest) when, if, and only to the extent the Award of Restricted Shares vests and will revert back to the Company if for any reason the Award of Restricted Shares upon which such dividends or other distributions were paid reverts back to the Company (in whole or in part). In accordance with the foregoing, if any dividends or distributions are paid in Shares, or consist of a dividend or distribution to holders of Shares or property other than an ordinary cash dividend, the Shares or other property will be subject to the same restrictions on vesting, transferability and forfeiture conditions as the Award of Restricted Shares with respect to which they relate.

(b)Share Certificates. The Company may require that the Participant deposit in escrow with the Company (or its designee) any share certificates issued in respect of shares of Restricted Shares, together with a stock power endorsed in blank.

(c)Voting Rights. Participants holding an Award of Restricted Shares will not be entitled to voting rights in such Shares unless and until the underlying Shares vest.

6.3 Restricted Shares Units. The Administrator may grant Restricted Shares Units in such amounts and subject to such terms and conditions as the Administrator may determine. A Participant will have only the rights of a general unsecured creditor of the Company with respect to a Restricted Shares Unit, until delivery of Shares, cash or other securities or property is made as specified in the applicable Award Agreement. The Administrator may provide that settlement of Restricted Shares Units will occur upon or as soon as reasonably practicable after the Restricted Shares Units vest or subject to Section 14.7, will instead be deferred, on a mandatory basis or at the Participant’s election, in a manner intended to comply with Section 409A.

6.4 Termination. Unless otherwise set forth in an Award Agreement, upon a Participant’s Termination of Service for any reason, Restricted Share Units will be treated as set forth in Exhibit I attached hereto.

Article VII. PERFORMANCE SHARE UNITS

7.1 General. Each Award of a Performance Share Unit granted under the Plan shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement. Each Award of a Performance Share Unit so granted shall be subject to the conditions set forth in this Article VII, and to such other conditions not inconsistent with the Plan as may be reflected in the applicable Award Agreement. The Administrator shall have the discretion to determine: (i) the number of Shares or share-denominated units subject to an Award of Performance Share Units granted to any Participant; (ii) the Performance Period applicable to any Award; (iii) the conditions that must be satisfied for a Participant to earn an Award; and (iv) the other terms, conditions and restrictions of the Award.

7.2 Earning Performance Awards. The value of the Performance Share Unit earned by a Participant will depend, in part, on the extent to which the Performance Goals established by the Administrator are attained within the applicable Performance Period, as determined by the Administrator. As permitted by Applicable Laws, the Performance Goals or performance results applicable to a Performance Share Unit Award may be subject to later revisions as the Administrator shall deem appropriate, including to reflect significant unforeseen events such as change in law, accounting practices or unusual or nonrecurring items or occurrences or to satisfy regulatory requirements. The value of the Performance Share Unit Award earned by a Participant may be paid in cash or Shares, as the Administrator determines.

7.3 Termination. Unless otherwise set forth in an Award Agreement, upon a Participant’s Termination of Service for any reason, Performance Share Units will be treated as set forth in Exhibit I attached hereto.

Article VIII. DIVIDEND EQUIVALENT RIGHTS

8.1 General. The Administrator may include in the Award Agreement with respect to any Award other than an Option, a dividend equivalent right entitling the Participant any portion of the dividends that would be paid on the Shares covered by such Award if such Shares had been delivered pursuant to such Award. The Participant will, with respect to a dividend equivalent right, have only the rights of a general unsecured creditor of the Company until payment of such amounts is made as specified in the applicable Award Agreement. In the event such a provision is included in an Award Agreement, the Administrator shall determine whether such payments shall be paid or credited to an account for the Participant, whether they should be settled in cash, Shares (with such number of Shares determined based on the Fair Market Value of one Share on the applicable settlement date or such other methodology determined by the Administrator and approved by the Applicable Stock Exchange), the time and times at which they should be made and such other terms and conditions as the Administrator shall deem appropriate, all as set forth in the Award Agreement.

8.2 Prohibition on Payment of Dividends on Unvested Awards. In no event may any dividend equivalent rights payable on any Award become payable unless and until the Award to which they relate vests. Any dividend equivalent rights that become payable in respect of any Award may only become payable to the extent the Award to which they relate vests. For any Award subject to performance-based vesting conditions, no payments of dividend equivalent rights will be made at a time when any performance-based goals that apply to the Award that is granted in connection with a dividend equivalent right have not been satisfied. Neither the Board nor the Administrator shall have the authority to override or change this Section 8.2 in any Award Agreement, and all other provisions of the Plan shall be interpreted consistently with the intent of this Section 8.2.

Article IX. DEFERRED SHARE UNITS

9.1 Deferred Share Units. The Administrator may grant Restricted Share Units with a deferral feature (“Deferred Share Units”) to Eligible Individuals, which may be subject to vesting and forfeiture conditions during the applicable restriction period or periods as set forth in an Award Agreement. The Administrator will determine the terms and conditions for each Deferred Share Unit Award including, without limitation, any vesting and Performance Criteria if so desired, subject to the conditions and limitations contained in the Plan.

(a)Participant Rights. A Participant will have only the rights of a general unsecured creditor of the Company with respect to a Deferred Share Unit until delivery of Shares, cash or other securities or property is made as specified in the applicable Award Agreement.

(b)Deferral and Settlement. The Administrator may provide that settlement of Deferred Share Units will be deferred, on a mandatory basis or at the Participant’s election, in a manner intended to comply with Section 409A. Settlement of Deferred Share Units shall occur as set forth in an Award Agreement.

Article X. DIRECTOR SHARE UNITS

10.1 Director Share Units. The Administrator may grant an Award of Restricted Share Units to Non-Employee Directors (“Director Share Units”), which may be in response to an election by a Non-Employee Director to receive all or a portion of his or her annual director, chair and/or committee retainer fees or other director compensation in the form of Director Share Units. Any Award of Director Share Units will be subject to the terms and conditions (including the vesting, forfeiture and other conditions) set forth in any applicable Award Agreement or the Director Compensation Policy.

(a)Non-Employee Director Rights. A Non-Employee Director will have only the rights of a general unsecured creditor of the Company with respect to Director Share Units until delivery of Shares, cash or other securities or property is made as specified in any applicable Award Agreement or the Director Compensation Policy.

(b)Deferral and Settlement. The Administrator may provide that settlement of Director Share Units will be deferred, on a mandatory basis or at the Non-Employee Director’s election, in a manner intended to comply with Section 409A. Settlement of Director Share Units will occur as set forth in an Award Agreement or the Director Compensation Policy.

Article XI. OTHER SHARE OR CASH-BASED AWARDS

11.1 Other Share or Cash-Based Awards. Other Share or Cash Based Awards may be granted to Participants, including Awards entitling Participants to receive Shares to be delivered in the future and including annual or other periodic or long-term cash bonus awards (whether based on specified Performance Criteria or otherwise), in each case subject to any conditions and limitations in the Plan, the applicable Award Agreement and any required prior approval by the Applicable Stock Exchange. Such Other Share or Cash Based Awards will also be available as a payment form in the settlement of other Awards, as standalone payments and as payment in lieu of compensation to which a Participant is otherwise entitled. Other Share or Cash Based Awards may be paid in Shares, cash or other property as the Administrator determines. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Administrator will determine the terms and conditions of each Other

Share or Cash Based Award, including any purchase price, Performance Goal (which may be based on the Performance Criteria), transfer restrictions, vesting conditions, and payment terms, which will be set forth in the applicable Award Agreement.

Article XII. ADJUSTMENTS FOR CHANGES IN SHARES AND CERTAIN OTHER EVENTS

12.1 Equity Restructuring. Subject to any required approval by the Applicable Stock Exchange or other securities regulatory authority having jurisdiction, in connection with any Equity Restructuring, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article XII, the Administrator will equitably adjust the Overall Share Limit and each outstanding Award as it deems appropriate to reflect the Equity Restructuring, which may include adjusting the number and type of securities subject to each outstanding Award and/or the Award’s grant, exercise or purchase price (if applicable), granting new Awards to Participants. The adjustments provided under this Section 12.1 will be final and binding on the affected Participant and the Company; provided that, the Administrator will determine whether an adjustment is equitable. Any adjustments made under this Section 12.1 shall be made in a manner that does not adversely affect the exemption provided pursuant to Rule 16b-3.

12.2 Corporate Transactions. Subject to any required approval by the Applicable Stock Exchange or other securities regulatory authority having jurisdiction over the Company, in the event of any extraordinary dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, Shares, other securities, or other property), Extraordinary Corporate Event involving the Company, Change of Control, issuance of warrants or other rights to purchase Shares or other securities of the Company, other similar corporate transaction or event, other unusual or nonrecurring transaction or event affecting the Company or its financial statements or any change in any Applicable Laws or accounting principles, the Administrator, on such terms and conditions as it deems appropriate, either by the terms of the Award or by action taken prior to the occurrence of such transaction or event (except that action to give effect to a change in Applicable Law or accounting principles may be made within a reasonable period of time after such change) and is hereby authorized to take such action whenever the Administrator determines that such action is appropriate in order to (x) prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended by the Company to be made available under the Plan or with respect to any Award granted or issued under the Plan, (y) to facilitate such transaction or event, or (z) give effect to such changes in Applicable Laws or accounting principles, including:

(a)To provide that such Award shall vest and, to the extent applicable, be exercisable as to all Shares covered thereby, including to provide that any such Awards not exercised prior to the consummation of an applicable event under this Section 12.2 will terminate and be of no force or effect as of the consummation of such event;

(b)To provide that such Award be assumed by the successor or survivor corporation, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, or shall be substituted for by awards covering the shares of the successor or survivor corporation, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, with appropriate adjustments as to the number and kind of shares and/or applicable grant, exercise or purchase price, in all cases, as determined by the Administrator to provide substantially equivalent value and to substantially preserve the otherwise applicable terms of any affected Awards previously granted under the Plan;

(c)To make adjustments in the number and type of Shares (or other securities or property) subject to outstanding Awards and/or with respect to which Awards may be granted under the Plan (including, but not limited to, adjustments of the limitations in Article IV hereof on the maximum number and kind of shares which may be issued) and/or in the terms and conditions of (including the grant, exercise or purchase price as applicable), and the criteria included in, outstanding Awards; provided that, such adjustments result in substantially equivalent value being provided to the holders of outstanding Awards;

(d)To replace such Award with other rights or property of substantially equivalent value as selected by the Administrator, and in such cases, the Administrator may provide that the Award will terminate and cannot vest, be exercised or become payable after an applicable event under this Section 12.2;

(e)To modify the terms of Awards to add events, conditions or circumstances (including Termination of Service within a specified period after a Change of Control or other corporate transaction under this Section 12.2) upon which the vesting of such Awards or lapse of restrictions thereon will accelerate; and/or

(f)To deem any performance conditions satisfied at target, maximum or actual performance through closing of the corporate transaction or to provide for the performance conditions to continue (either as is or as adjusted by the Administrator) after the closing.

12.3 Termination of Service upon a Change of Control. If there is a Change of Control, and a Participant experiences a Termination of Service by reason of a termination without Cause or for Good Reason, either (a) within the earlier of six month period preceding the Change of Control or the date of public disclosure of a transaction, which, if completed, would give rise to a Change of Control and (b) the two years following the Change of Control, the Participant’s Awards shall fully vest on the later of (i) the date of the Change of Control, and (ii) the date of the Participant’s Termination of Service (the “Determination Date”). For this purpose, for any Performance Share Units or other Awards subject to performance-based vesting conditions, the number of Shares issued thereunder shall be determined on the basis that: (A) for Awards subject to performance-based vesting conditions that were granted within 12 months prior to the Determination Date, based on the target level of performance specified within an Award Agreement unless actual performance at the time of Change of Control has exceeded the target performance in which case actual performance shall apply; and (B) for Awards that were granted more than 12 months prior to the Determination Date, based on at least 100% of actual performance. The Administrator will determine actual performance of the Awards by evaluating the metrics associated with the Awards, as determined in accordance with this Plan and any Award Agreement granted thereunder, and may also consider other appropriate factors in its sole discretion. For this purpose, any Awards held by a Participant that are not subject to performance-based vesting conditions (including Options, Restricted Share Units, and Deferred Share Units) will vest with respect to 100% of the Awards outstanding.

12.4 Administrative Standstill. In the event of any pending share dividend, share split, combination or exchange of shares, other distribution (other than normal cash dividends) of Company assets to shareholders, Extraordinary Corporate Event involving the Company, a Change of Control or any other extraordinary transaction or change affecting the Shares or the price of the Shares, including any Equity Restructuring or any securities offering or other similar transaction, for administrative convenience, the Administrator may refuse to permit the exercise of any Award for up to thirty days before or after such transaction.

12.5 General. Except as expressly provided in the Plan or the Administrator’s action under the Plan, no Participant will have any rights due to any subdivision or consolidation of Shares of any class, dividend payment, increase or decrease in the number of Shares of any class or dissolution or Extraordinary Corporate Event involving the Company or a Change of Control. Except as expressly provided with respect to an Equity Restructuring under Section 12.1 above or the Administrator’s action under the Plan, no issuance by the Company of Shares of any class, or securities convertible into Shares of any class, will affect, and no adjustment will be made regarding, the number of Shares subject to an Award or the Award’s grant, exercise or purchase price (as applicable). The existence of the Plan, any Award Agreements and the Awards granted hereunder will not affect or restrict in any way the Company’s right or power to make or authorize (i) any adjustment, recapitalization, reorganization or other change in the Company’s capital structure or its business, (ii) any Extraordinary Corporate Event involving the Company, (iii) any Change of Control; (iv) any sale of assets of the Company; or (v) the creation, sale and/or issuance of bonds, debentures or other securities, including securities with rights superior to those of the Shares or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Shares. The Administrator may treat Participants and Awards (or portions thereof) differently under this Plan for all purposes, including under this Article XII.

Article XIII. GENERAL PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO AWARDS

13.1 Transferability. Unless otherwise provided in an Award Agreement, no Award may be sold, exchanged, assigned, transferred, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise encumbered or disposed of, either voluntarily or by operation of law, except by will or the laws of descent and distribution, or, subject to the Administrator’s consent, pursuant to a domestic relations order, and, during the life of the Participant, will be exercisable only by the Participant. Any sale, exchange, assignment, transfer, pledge, hypothecation, or other disposition in violation of the provisions of this Section 13.1 will be null and void. References to a Participant, to the extent relevant in the context, will include references to a Participant’s authorized transferee that the Administrator specifically approves and all of the terms and conditions of the Plan and the Award Agreements will be binding on any successors and assigns.

13.2 Documentation. Each Award will be evidenced by an Award Agreement that will contain such provisions and conditions as the Administrator deems appropriate. Each Award may contain terms and conditions in addition to those set forth in the Plan. By accepting an Award, a Participant thereby agrees that the Award will be subject to all the terms and provisions of the Plan and the applicable Award Agreement.

13.3 Non-Uniform Determinations. The Administrator’s determinations under the Plan and Award Agreements need not be uniform and any such determinations may be made by it selectively among persons who receive, or are eligible to receive, Awards under the Plan (whether or not such persons are similarly situated). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrator will be entitled, among other things, to make non-uniform and selective determinations under Award Agreements, and to enter into non-uniform and selective Award Agreements, as to (a) the persons to receive Awards, (b) the terms and provisions of Awards and (c) whether a Participant’s service to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries has concluded for purposes of the Plan.

13.4 Termination of Status. The Award Agreement will determine how the Disability, death, Retirement, Leave of Absence, Termination of Service or any other change or purported change in a Participant’s Eligible Individual status affects an Award and the extent to which, and the period during which, the Participant, the Participant’s legal representative, conservator, guardian or Designated Beneficiary may exercise rights under the Award, if applicable. The Administrator, or its delegate, in its sole discretion, may determine, as permitted by Applicable Laws, whether a Participant remains an Employee while the Participant is seconded to an entity other than a Subsidiary. An individual shall not be eligible to receive a new Award after the individual’s Termination of Service, unless such individual is thereafter rehired as an Employee or Consultant, or appointed as a Non-Employee Director.

13.5 Restrictive Covenants. The Administrator, in its discretion, may include within an Award Agreement that notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Plan, if the Participant violates the non-competition, non-solicitation, confidentiality or other similar restrictive covenant provisions of any Company policy, employment contract, confidentiality or nondisclosure agreement or other agreement between the Participant and the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, the right of the Participant and the Participant’s transferees to vest in any Award, or retain any benefit received in respect of an Award (including any Share issuable thereunder) shall terminate immediately upon such violation and the Participant shall be required to repay any amounts previously received in respect of such Award, unless determined otherwise by the Administrator.

13.6 Right of Offset. Subject to Applicable Laws, the Company will have the right to offset against Options, Shares, or its obligation to deliver Shares (or other property or cash) under the Plan or any Award Agreement any outstanding amounts (including, without limitation, claw-back or recoupment obligations, travel and entertainment or advance account balances, loans, repayment obligations under any Awards, or amounts repayable to the Company pursuant to tax equalization, housing, automobile or other employee programs) that the Participant then owes to the Company and any amounts the Administrator otherwise deems appropriate pursuant to any tax equalization policy or agreement.

13.7 Withholding. Each Participant shall be responsible for the payment of all applicable taxes, including, but not limited to, income taxes payable in connection with the receipt, vesting, exercise or settlement of any Award, and the Company, its employees and agents shall bear no liability in connection with the payment of such taxes. As a condition to the delivery of any Shares, cash or other securities or property pursuant to an Award or the lifting or lapse of restrictions on any Award, or in connection with any other event that gives rise to a tax withholding obligation on the part of the Company relating to an Award, the Company may deduct an amount sufficient to satisfy such tax obligations based on the minimum statutory withholding rates (or such other rates as may be determined by the Company) from any payment of any kind otherwise due a Participant. Subject to the discretion of the Administrator, the Participant may satisfy any federal, provincial, state or local tax withholding obligation relating to an Award by any of the following means (in addition to the Company’s right to withhold from any compensation paid to the Participant by the Company) or by a combination of such means: (a) tendering a certified check, bank draft or money order payable to the order of the Company; (b) authorizing the Company to withhold and not issue Shares from the Shares otherwise issuable to the Participant as a result of the exercise or acquisition of Shares under the Award; (c) authorizing the Company to withhold an amount in cash otherwise payable to the Participant as a result of the receipt, vesting, exercise or settlement of an Award or (d) as permitted by Applicable Laws, any other method of withholding approved by the Administrator. In no event shall this Section 13.7 give a Participant any discretion to determine or affect the timing of payment of tax obligations.

13.8 Amendment of Award; Prohibition on Repricing. The Administrator may amend, modify or terminate any outstanding Award without shareholder approval (unless such approval is required by the Plan or Applicable Laws), including by substituting another Award of the same or a different type, changing the exercise or settlement date, and converting an Incentive Stock Option to a Non-Qualified Stock Option. The Participant’s consent to such action will be required unless (i) the action, taking into account any related action, does not materially and adversely affect the Participant’s rights under the Award, or (ii) the change is permitted under Article XII or pursuant to Section 14.7. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything in the Plan to the contrary, the Administrator may not except pursuant to Article XII, without the approval of the shareholders of the Company, reduce the exercise price per share of outstanding Options or cancel outstanding Options or in exchange for cash, other Awards or Options with an exercise price per share that is less than the exercise price per share of the original Options or to take any other action which is considered a “repricing” under generally accepted accounting principles or for purposes of the shareholder approval rules of any securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system on which the securities of the Company are listed or quoted.

13.9 Conditions on Delivery of Shares. The Company will not be obligated to deliver any Shares under the Plan or remove restrictions from Shares previously delivered under the Plan until such time that (i) all Award conditions have been met or removed to the Company’s satisfaction, (ii) as determined by the Company, all other legal matters regarding the issuance and delivery of such Shares have been satisfied, including any applicable securities laws and stock exchange or stock market rules and regulations, and (iii) the Participant has executed and delivered to the Company such representations or agreements as the Administrator deems necessary or appropriate to satisfy any Applicable Laws. The Company’s inability to obtain authority from any securities regulatory authority having jurisdiction over the Company, which the Administrator determines is necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any securities, will relieve the Company of any liability for failing to issue or sell such Shares as to which such requisite authority has not been obtained.

13.10 Acceleration. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained within this Plan or any Award Agreement, the Administrator may provide in any Award Agreement at the time of grant or at any other time provide that any Award will become immediately vested and fully or partially exercisable, free of some or all restrictions or conditions, or otherwise fully or partially realizable, upon the occurrence of a specific event, such as a Termination of Service or Change of Control or other corporate transaction.

13.11 Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act. It is the intent of the Company that this Plan satisfy, and be interpreted in a manner that satisfies, the applicable requirements of Rule 16b-3 as promulgated under Section 16 of the Exchange Act so that Participants will be entitled to the benefit of Rule 16b-3, or any other rule promulgated under Section 16 of the Exchange Act, and will not be subject to short-swing liability under Section 16 of the Exchange Act. Accordingly, if the operation of any provision of this Plan would conflict with the intent expressed in this Section 13.11, such provision to the extent possible shall be interpreted and/or deemed amended so as to avoid such conflict.

13.12 Additional Participation Limitations. The Grant of Awards under the Plan is subject to the following limitations:

(a)the total number of Shares issued to Insiders pursuant to all security based compensation arrangements of the Company within any one-year period shall not exceed 10% of the number of Shares outstanding at the time of issuance (excluding any other shares issued under all security based compensation arrangements of the Company during such one-year period); and

(b)the total number of Shares reserved for issuance to Insiders pursuant to all security based compensation arrangements of the Company shall not exceed 10% of the number of Shares outstanding at the time of reservation;

For the purposes of (a) and (b) above, any entitlement to acquire Shares granted pursuant to the Plan prior to the Participant becoming an Insider are to be excluded from the calculation.

Article XIV. MISCELLANEOUS

14.1 No Right to Employment or Other Status. Neither the adoption of the Plan nor the grant of any Award (or any provision in the Plan or Award Agreement) will confer upon any Participant any right to continued employment or other engagement, with the Company or any Subsidiary, nor will it interfere in any way with the right of the Company to terminate, or alter the terms and conditions of, such employment or other engagement at any time.

14.2 No Rights as Shareholder; Certificates. No Participant or Designated Beneficiary will have any rights as a shareholder with respect to any Shares to be distributed under an Award until becoming the record holder of such Shares.

14.4 Approval of Plan by Shareholders. This Plan shall be submitted for the approval of the Company’s shareholders within twelve months after adoption by the Board.

If this Plan is not approved by the Company’s shareholders, this Plan will terminate and the Prior Plans will continue in full force and effect in accordance with each such plan’s respective terms.

14.5 Amendments to the Plan and Awards.

(a)To the extent permitted by Applicable Laws, the Board may amend, suspend or terminate the Plan at any time without shareholder or approval; provided that, no amendment (or portion thereof): (a) may materially and adversely affect any Award outstanding at the time of such amendment except as permitted by the terms of this Plan without the affected Participant’s consent; and (b) shall be effective unless in compliance with Applicable Securities Laws and approved by the shareholders of the Company to the extent shareholder approval is necessary to satisfy any Applicable Securities Laws.

(b)If the Plan is terminated, the provisions of the Plan and any administrative guidelines and other rules and regulations adopted by the Administrator and in force on the date of termination will continue in effect as long as any Award or any rights awarded or granted under the Plan remain outstanding and, notwithstanding the termination of the Plan, the Administrator will have the ability to make such amendments to the Plan or the Awards as they would have been entitled to make if the Plan were still in effect.

(c)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 14.5(a) and subject to Section 14.5(d), the Administrator may from time to time, in its discretion and without the approval of shareholders, make changes to the Plan or any Award that do not require the approval of shareholders under Section 14.5(a) which may include but are not limited to:

14.6 Provisions for Foreign Participants.

To the extent that a Participant is subject to tax in respect of their Award under laws of both the United States and Canada, the Plan and the applicable Award Agreement shall be interpreted to the greatest extent possible, in manner which is in compliance with both tax regimes and, notwithstanding anything in this Plan, the Administrator may modify any such Awards in an applicable Award Agreement to carry out such intent.

14.7 Section 409A. The provisions of this Section 14.7 and all corresponding provisions regarding Section 409A in this Plan and any Award Agreement apply only to the extent a Participant is a U.S. taxpayer.

(a)General. The Company intends that all Awards be structured to comply with, or be exempt from, Section 409A, such that no adverse tax consequences, interest, or penalties under Section 409A apply. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan or any Award Agreement to the contrary, the Administrator may, without a Participant’s consent, amend this Plan or Awards, adopt policies and procedures, or take any other actions (including amendments, policies, procedures and retroactive actions) as are necessary or appropriate to preserve the intended tax treatment of Awards, including any such actions intended to (i) exempt this Plan or any Award from Section 409A, or (ii) comply with Section 409A, including regulations, guidance, compliance programs and other interpretative authority that may be issued after an Award’s grant date. The Company makes no representations or warranties as to an Award’s tax treatment under Section 409A or otherwise. The Company and its Subsidiaries will have no obligation under this Section 14.7 or otherwise to avoid the taxes, penalties or interest under Section 409A with respect to any Award and will have no liability to any Participant or any other person if any Award, compensation or other benefits under the Plan are determined to constitute noncompliant “nonqualified deferred compensation” subject to taxes, penalties or interest under Section 409A.

(b)Deferred Compensation: Without limiting the generality of Section 14.7(a), with respect to any Award made under the Plan that is intended to be “deferred compensation” subject to Section 409A:

(i)Separation from Service. Any payment or settlement of such Award upon a termination of a Participant’s Eligible Individual relationship will, to the extent necessary to avoid taxes under Section 409A, be made only upon the Participant’s “separation from service” (within the meaning of Section 409A), whether such “separation from service” occurs upon or after the termination of the Participant’s Eligible Individual relationship. For purposes of this Plan or any Award Agreement relating to any such payments or benefits, references to a “termination,” “termination of employment” or like terms means a “separation from service.” For purposes of determining whether the Participant has experienced a separation from service from the Company within the meaning of Section 409A, “subsidiary” will mean a corporation or other entity in a chain of corporations or other entities in which each corporation or other entity, starting with Celestica Inc., has a controlling interest in another corporation or other entity in the chain, ending with such corporation or other entity. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the term “controlling interest” has the same meaning as provided in Section 1.414(c)-2(b)(2)(i) of the Treasury Regulations; provided that, the language “at least 20 percent” is used instead of “at least 80 percent” each place it appears in Section 1.414(c)-2(b)(2)(i) of the Treasury Regulations.

(c)Payments to Specified Employees. Any payment(s) required to be made under an Award to a “specified employee” (as defined under Section 409A and as the Administrator determines) due to his or her “separation from service” will, to the extent necessary to avoid taxes under Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, be delayed for the six-month period immediately following such “separation from service” (or, if earlier, until the specified employee’s death) and will instead be paid (as set forth in the Award Agreement) on the day immediately following such six-month period or as soon as administratively practicable thereafter (without interest) but not later than 60 days following the end of such six-month period. Any payments of “nonqualified deferred compensation” under such Award payable more than six months following the Participant’s “separation from service” will be paid at the time or times the payments are otherwise scheduled to be made.

(d)Change of Control. Any payment with respect to any Award made under the Plan that is intended to be “deferred compensation” subject to Section 409A and due upon a Change of Control of the Company will be paid only if such Change of Control constitutes a “change in ownership” or “change in effective control” within the meaning of Section 409A, and in the event that such Change of Control does not constitute a “change in the ownership” or “change in the effective control” within the meaning of Section 409A, such Award will vest upon the Change of Control and any payment will be delayed until the first compliant date under Section 409A.

(e)No Delayed Payment or Delivery. To the extent necessary to comply with Section 409A, any other securities, other Awards or other property that the Company may deliver in lieu of Shares in respect of an Award will not have the effect of deferring delivery or payment beyond the date on which such delivery or payment would occur with respect to the Shares that would otherwise have been deliverable (unless the Administrator elects a later date for this purpose in accordance with the requirements of Section 409A).

(f)Series of Installment Payments. If the Award includes a “series of installment payments” (within the meaning of Section 1.409A-2(b)(2)(iii) of the Treasury Regulations), the Participant’s right to the series of installment payments will be treated as a right to a series of separate payments and not as a right to a single payment.

(g)Dividend Equivalents. If the Award includes “dividend equivalents” (within the meaning of Section 1.409A-3(e) of the Treasury Regulations), the Participant’s right to the dividend equivalents will be treated separately from the right to other amounts under the Award.

14.8 Limitations on Liability and Indemnification. Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Plan, neither the Administrator nor any individual to whom the Administrator delegates its powers, responsibilities or duties in writing, including by resolution (each such person, a “Covered Person”) will be liable to any Participant, former Participant, spouse, beneficiary, or any other person for any claim, loss, liability, or expense incurred in connection with the Plan or any Award, and such Covered Person will not be personally liable with respect to the Plan because of any contract or other instrument executed in his or her capacity as an Administrator, director, officer, other employee or agent of the Company or any Subsidiary. The Company will indemnify, defend and hold harmless each past or present Covered Person against any cost or expense (including attorneys’ fees) or liability (including any sum paid in settlement of a claim with the Administrator’s approval) arising from any act or omission concerning this Plan unless directly arising from such person’s own fraud or bad faith. This indemnification obligation of the Company shall supplement, and not supersede or replace, any other indemnification obligation, policy or agreement of the Company covering such Covered Person.

14.9 Lock-Up Period. The Company may, at the request of any underwriter, agent or representative, in connection an offering of any Company securities under Applicable Securities Laws, prohibit Participants from, directly or indirectly, selling or otherwise transferring any Shares or other Company securities during a period of up to one hundred eighty days following the closing date of any such offering, or such longer period as determined by any such underwriter, agent or representative.

14.10 Data Privacy. As a condition for receiving any Award, each Participant explicitly and unambiguously consents to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of personal data as described in this Section 14.10, by and among the Company and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates, exclusively for implementing, administering and managing the Participant’s participation in the Plan.

The Company and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates may transfer the Data amongst themselves as deemed to be necessary or appropriate to implement, administer and manage a Participant’s participation in the Plan, and the Company and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates may transfer the Data to third parties assisting the Company with Plan implementation, administration and management. All such transfers of Participant’s information shall be made only as permitted by applicable law and pursuant to security standards that comply with the Company’s privacy policy. By accepting an Award, each Participant hereby specifically authorizes such recipients to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, to implement, administer and manage the Participant’s participation in the Plan, including any required Data transfer to a broker or other third party with whom the Company or the Participant may elect to deposit any Shares. The Data related to a Participant will be held as long as necessary to implement, administer, and manage the Participant’s participation in the Plan. A Participant may, at any time, view the Data that the Company holds regarding such Participant, request additional information about the storage and processing of the Data regarding such Participant, recommend any necessary corrections to the Data regarding the Participant, or refuse or withdraw the consents in this Section 14.10, in writing, without cost, by contacting the Human Resources Department of the Company. If the Participant refuses or withdraws the consents in this Section 14.10, in the Administrator’s discretion, the Company may cancel the Participant’s ability to participate in the Plan.

14.11 Severability; Entire Agreement. If any portion of the Plan or any action taken under it is held illegal or invalid for any reason, the illegality or invalidity will not affect the remaining parts of the Plan, and the Plan will be construed and enforced as if the illegal or invalid provisions had been excluded, and the illegal or invalid action will be null and void. The Plan and any Award Agreements contain the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter thereof and supersede all prior agreements, promises, covenants, arrangements, communications, representations and warranties between them, whether written or oral with respect to the subject matter thereof.

14.12 Governing Documents. If any contradiction occurs between the Plan and any Award Agreement or other written agreement between a Participant and the Company (or any Subsidiary) that the Administrator has approved, the Award Agreement or such or other written agreement, as applicable, will govern.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company makes no representations that the payments and benefits provided under the Plan, including this Exhibit I, and any applicable Award Agreement comply with the Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Rules and in no event shall the Company be liable for all or any portion of any taxes, penalties, interest or other expenses that may be incurred by the Participant on account of non-compliance with the Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Rules.
