	 Under the StarHub Share Option Plan 2004, the exercise price for each ordinary share in respect of which an option is
          exercisable shall be determined by the Company’s Executive Resource and Compensation Committee (“ERCC”) in its absolute
          discretion on the date of grant to be either:

	 (i)	a price which is equal to the volume-weighted average price for the Company’s shares on the Singapore Exchange
                    Securities Trading Limited (“SGX”) over the three consecutive trading days immediately preceding the date of grant of
                    that option (“Market Price”), or such higher price as may be determined by the ERCC in its absolute discretion; or

	 (ii)	a price which is set, at the absolute discretion of the ERCC, at a discount to the Market Price so long as the maximum
                    discount for any option shall not exceed 20% of the Market Price in respect of that option.
