The Board may require, as a condition of the issue and delivery of certificates evidencing Ordinary Shares pursuant to the terms hereof, that the recipient of such shares make such covenants, agreements and representations, and that such certificates
bear such legends, as the Board deems necessary or desirable.
11. WITHHOLDING TAXES
The Board may make such provisions and take such steps as it may deem necessary or appropriate for the withholding of any taxes that the Company is required by any law or regulation of any governmental authority, whether federal, state or local, domestic or foreign, to withhold in connection with the grant, vesting or distribution in connection with an Award, or the removal of restrictions on an Award including, but not limited to: (i) the withholding of delivery of Ordinary Shares until the holder reimburses the Company for the amount the Company is required to withhold with respect to such taxes; (ii) the canceling of any number of Ordinary Shares issuable in an amount

14. GENERAL PROVISIONS
(a) Award Agreements. All Awards granted pursuant to the Plan shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement. Each Award Agreement shall specify the terms and conditions of the Award granted.
(b) Transferability of Awards. A Participant may not Transfer an Award other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. No Award shall be liable for or subject to the debts, contracts, or liabilities of any Participant, nor shall any Award be subject to legal process or attachment for or against such person. Any purported Transfer of an Award in contravention of the provisions of the Plan shall have no force or effect and shall be null and void, and the purported transferee of such Award shall not acquire any rights with respect to such Award. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Board may in its sole and absolute discretion permit the Transfer of an Award to a Participant’s “family member” as such term is defined in the Form 8-A Registration Statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
under such terms and conditions as specified by the Board.
(c) Modification or Substitution of an Award. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, the Board may modify outstanding Awards. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no modification of an Award shall adversely affect any rights or obligations of the Participant without the Participant’s consent. The Board in its sole and absolute discretion may rescind, modify, or waive any vesting requirements or other conditions applicable to an Award, provided however no such modification shall cause a violation of, or result to additional taxes or penalties under Section 409A of the Code.
(d) Amendment and Termination of Plan. The Board may, at any time and from time to time, amend, suspend or terminate the Plan as to any Ordinary Shares as to which Awards have not been granted; provided, however, that the approval of the shareholders of FDMP in accordance with applicable law and the Articles of Association and Memorandum of Association of FDMP shall be required for any amendment: (i) that changes the class of individuals eligible to receive Awards under the Plan: (ii) that increases the maximum number of Ordinary Shares in the aggregate that may be subject to Awards that are granted under the Plan (except as permitted under Section 10 hereof): (iii) the approval of which is necessary to comply with federal or state law (including without limitation Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act)
or with the rules of any stock exchange or automated quotation system on which the Ordinary Shares may be listed or traded; or (iv) that proposed to eliminate a requirement provided herein that the shareholders of FDMP must approve an action to be undertaken under the Plan. Except as permitted under Section 9 or Section 10 hereof, no amendment, suspension or termination of the Plan shall, without the consent of the holder of an Award, alter or impair rights or obligations under any Award theretofore granted under the Plan. Awards granted prior to the termination of the Plan may extend beyond the date the Plan is terminated and shall continue subject to the terms of the Plan as in effect on the date the Plan is terminated.
(e) Section 409A of the Code. The Awards issued under the Plan are intended to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code (“Section 409A”) and the regulations promulgated thereunder (the extent Section 409A is applicable). If any provision of the Plan or any term or condition of any Award would otherwise frustrate or conflict with this intent, the provision, term or condition will be interpreted and deemed amended so as to avoid this conflict. Further, for purposes of Section 409A, each payment made hereunder shall be treated as a separate payment, and in no event may any person or entity, directly or indirectly, designate the calendar year of the payment with respect to any payment due hereunder.
If and to the extent required to comply with Section 409A, any payment or benefit required to be paid under this Plan on account of termination of Participant’s membership on the Board, or any other term to that effect, shall be made upon Employee incurring a “separation of service” as a member of the Board, within the meaning of Section 409A.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Plan, the Company does not guarantee to any Participant or any other person that any Award intended to be exempt from Section 409A shall be so exempt, nor that any Award intended to comply with Section 409A shall so comply, nor will the Company indemnify, defend or hold harmless any individual with respect to the tax consequences of any such failure.
(f) Disclaimer of Rights. No provision in the Plan, any Award granted hereunder, or any Award Agreement entered into pursuant to the Plan shall be construed to confer upon any individual the right to remain in the employ of or other service with the Company or to interfere in any way with the right and authority of the Company either to increase or decrease the compensation of any individual, including any holder of an Award, at any time, or to terminate any employment or other relationship between any individual and the Company. The grant of an Award pursuant to the Plan shall not affect or limit in any way the right or power of the
Company to make adjustments, reclassifications, reorganizations or changes of its capital or business structure or to merge, consolidate, dissolve or liquidate, or to sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets.

EXHIBIT 10.1
(g) Unfunded Status of Plan. The Plan is intended to constitute an “unfunded” plan for incentive and deferred compensation. With respect to any payments as to which a Participant has a fixed and vested interest but which are not yet made to such Participant by the Company, nothing contained herein shall give any such Participant any rights that are greater than those of a general creditor of the Company.
(h) Nonexclusivity of Plan. The adoption of the Plan shall not be construed as creating any limitations upon the right and authority of the Board to adopt such other incentive compensation arrangements (which arrangements may be applicable either generally to a class or classes of individuals or specifically to a particular individual or individuals) as the Board in its sole and absolute discretion determines desirable.
(i) Other Benefits. No Award payment under the Plan shall be deemed compensation for purposes of computing benefits under any retirement plan of the Company or any agreement between a Participant and the Company, nor affect any benefits under any other benefit plan of the Company now or subsequently in effect under which benefits are based upon a Participant’s level of compensation.
(j) Headings. The section headings in the Plan are for convenience only; they form no part of this Agreement and shall not affect its interpretation.
(k) Pronouns. The use of any gender in the Plan shall be deemed to include all genders, and the use of the singular shall be deemed to include the plural and vice versa, wherever it appears appropriate from the context.
(l) Successors and Assigns. The Plan shall be binding on all successors of the Company and all successors and permitted assigns of a Participant, including, but not limited to, a Participant’s estate, devisee, or heir at law.
(m) Severability. If any provision of the Plan or any Award Agreement shall be determined to be illegal or unenforceable by any court of law in any jurisdiction, the remaining provisions hereof and thereof shall be severable and enforceable in accordance with their terms, and all provisions shall remain enforceable in any other jurisdiction.
Notices. unless otherwise provided by the Board, any communication or notice required or permitted to be given under the Plan shall be in writing, and mailed by registered or certified mail or delivered by hand, to FDMP, to its principal place of business, attention: corporate secretary and if to the holder of an Award, to the address as appearing on the records of the Company.
