below) and Directors (as defined below) of Sinda Ltd, a Delaware corporation formerly known as Minera Adularia International Ltd. (or any successor thereto, the “Company”), or a Subsidiary (as defined
below) with an additional incentive to use maximum efforts for the future success of the Company and any Subsidiary and to enhance the ability of the Company or a Subsidiary to attract, retain and motivate individuals upon whom the Company’s
sustained growth and financial success depend by providing such persons with an opportunity to acquire or increase their proprietary interest in the Company through receipt of rights to acquire Awards (as defined below).
2. Definitions. As used in the Plan, the following definitions shall apply to the capitalized terms indicated below:
“Authorized Officer” means the Executive Chairman, the Chief Executive Officer, the President, or any other senior officer of the Company to whom the
Executive Chairman, the Chief Executive Officer, or the President shall delegate the authority to execute any Award Agreement.
“Award” means the grant of any Option, Stock Appreciation Right, Stock Award, or Cash Award, any of which may be structured as a Performance Award, whether
granted singly, in combination or in tandem, to a Participant pursuant to such applicable terms, conditions, and limitations as the Committee may establish in accordance with the objectives of the Plan.
“Award Agreement” means the document (in written or electronic form) communicating the terms, conditions and limitations applicable to an Award.
“Board” or “Board of Directors” means the Board of Directors of the Company.
“Cash Award” means an Award denominated in cash.
“Change of Control” means the consummation of (i) any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into any other corporation or other entity or person,
or any other corporate reorganization, in which the stockholders of the Company immediately prior to such consolidation, merger or reorganization, own less than a majority of the aggregate voting power represented by the issued and outstanding
voting securities in the surviving entity immediately after such consolidation, merger or reorganization; (ii) any transaction or series of related transactions in which a person or group of persons acting together which would constitute a
“group” for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act or any successor provisions thereto acquires greater than a majority of the aggregate ordinary voting power represented by the issued and outstanding voting securities of the Company; or
(iii) a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company; provided that in no event will a Change of Control include any of the following transactions: (A) any consolidation, merger or similar transaction
effected exclusively to change the domicile of the Company; (B) any transaction or series of transactions in which voting securities of the Company are issued principally for bona fide financing purposes or any indebtedness or equity securities
of the Company are cancelled or converted or a combination thereof, including, without limitation, an initial public offering or other offering of the Company’s capital stock; (C) any acquisition of such voting power by an individual or entity
that, directly or indirectly, Controls, is Controlled by, or is under Common Control with, the Company; or (D) any transaction where a majority of the aggregate voting power represented by the issued and outstanding voting securities of the
Company, the surviving parent entity or the entity to which all or substantially all of the Company’s assets are transferred in the transaction or series of transactions is Controlled directly or indirectly by one or more Kaplan Parties. The
transfer of equity interests or assets of the Company in connection with a bankruptcy filing by or against the Company under Title 11 of the United States Code will not be considered to be a “Change of Control” for purposes of this Plan.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, for purposes of any Award that constitutes “deferred compensation” (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code), the payment of which would be accelerated or required upon a Change of Control, a transaction will
not be deemed a Change of Control unless the transaction qualifies as “a change in control event” (or similar term) within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and the regulations thereunder.
“Code” means the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
“Committee” means the Board of Directors, or a committee of the Board of Directors appointed in accordance with Section 3 of the Plan, when acting in

“Continuous Service” unless otherwise determined by the Committee and provided in the applicable Award Agreement, means that the Participant’s service with
the Company or a Subsidiary, whether as an Employee, Consultant or Director, is not interrupted or terminated. The Participant’s Continuous Service shall not be deemed to have terminated merely because of a change in the capacity in which the
Participant renders service to the Company or a Subsidiary as an Employee or Director or Consultant or a transfer between locations of the Company or between the Company, its Subsidiaries, or their respective successors, provided that there is no
interruption or termination of the Participant’s service. For example, a change in status from an Employee of the Company to a Director will not constitute an interruption of Continuous Service. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Participant’s
Continuous Service shall be deemed to have terminated with respect to all Incentive Stock Options granted to such Participant on such date as such Participant’s Continuous Service as an Employee terminates. To the extent permitted by law and any
leave of absence policy of the Company, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may determine whether Continuous Service shall be considered interrupted in the case of any leave of absence approved by that party, including sick leave, military
leave or any other personal leave; provided, however, a Participant’s Continuous Service shall not be deemed to have been terminated because of an approved leave of absence from active service with the
Company or a Subsidiary on account of temporary illness, authorized vacation, or granted for reasons of professional advancement, education, health, or government service, or during military leave for any period that is required by the Uniformed
Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act of 1994, as amended (“USERRA”) (if the Participant returns to active service with the Company or a Subsidiary within the period required by USERRA after
termination of military leave), or during any period required to be treated as a leave of absence by virtue of any applicable and binding statute (such as the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993, as amended), personnel policy, or employment
agreement. Whether an authorized leave of absence constitutes termination of Continuous Service hereunder shall be determined by the Committee. The Committee shall determine whether any corporate transaction, such as a sale or spin-off of a
division or business unit, or a joint venture, shall be deemed to result in a termination of Continuous Service. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of Awards that are subject to the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, whether a
termination of Continuous Service has occurred shall be determined in a manner consistent with the definition of “separation from service” under Section 409A of the Code.

agreement remains in effect; (ii) in the case of a Participant whose employment arrangement is with a Mexican Subsidiary and who is not subject to an employment agreement (or subject to an employment agreement that does not include a definition
of “Disability”), the meaning shall be determined in accordance with applicable Mexican law; and (iii) in all other cases, has the meaning set forth in Section 22(e)(3) of the Code; provided, however,
that as to any Award under the Plan that consists of deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code, the definition of “Disability” shall be deemed modified to the extent necessary to comply with Section 409A of the Code.
“Dividend Equivalents” means, in the case of Deferred Stock Units or Restricted Stock Units, an amount equal to all dividends and other distributions (or

7.
Types of Awards; Award Agreements and Terms. The Committee shall determine
the type or types of Awards to be made under the Plan and shall designate from time to time the Participants who are to be the recipients of such Awards. Each Award shall be embodied in an Award Agreement, which shall contain such terms,
conditions and limitations as shall be determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion, and, if required by the Committee, shall be signed by the Participant to whom the Award is granted and by an Authorized Officer for and on behalf of the
Company. Awards may be granted singly, in combination, or in tandem. Awards may also be made in combination or in tandem with, in replacement of, or as alternatives to, grants or rights under the Plan or any other plan of the Company or any of
its Subsidiaries, including the plan of any acquired entity. All or part of an Award may be subject to conditions established by the Committee. Upon the termination of service by a Participant, any unexercised, unvested or unpaid Awards shall
be treated as set forth in the applicable Award Agreement or in any other written agreement the Company has entered into with the Participant. The Company has no obligation to advise any Participant or other person of the expiration or pending
expiration of an Award.
(a) Options. Each
Option granted under the Plan shall be a Nonqualified Stock Option, unless the Option is specifically designated at the time of grant to be an ISO. If any Option designated as an ISO is determined for any reason not to qualify as an incentive
stock option within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code, such Option shall be treated as a Nonqualified Stock Option for all purposes under the provisions of the Plan. Each Option granted pursuant to the Plan shall be evidenced by an Award
Agreement in such form as the Committee shall from time to time approve, which Award Agreement shall comply with and be subject to the following terms and conditions and such other terms and conditions as the Committee shall from time to time
require that are not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan. The exercise period for an Option shall extend no more than ten (10) years after the Grant Date, except that the exercise period for an ISO that is granted to a Ten Percent
Stockholder shall be no more than five (5) years. Options may not include provisions that “reload” the Option upon exercise.
(i)
Exercise Price. Each Award Agreement shall state the Exercise Price applicable to the Option
granted therein. Subject to the provisions of Section 5(b) with respect to a Ten Percent Stockholder granted an ISO, the Exercise Price of any Option, whether a Nonqualified Stock Option or an ISO, shall in no event ever be less than 100% of
the Fair Market Value of the Ordinary Shares subject to the Option on the Grant Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Option may be granted with an Exercise Price lower than that set forth in the preceding sentence if such Option is granted
pursuant to an assumption or substitution for another option in a manner satisfying the provisions of Section 424(a) and/or Section 409A of the Code.
(ii)
Exercise. No Option shall be deemed to have been exercised prior to the receipt by the Company of written notice of
such exercise and of payment in full of the Exercise Price for the Ordinary Shares to be purchased. Each such notice shall specify the number of Ordinary Shares to be purchased.
(iii)
Method of Payment. The purchase price of Ordinary Shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of an Option shall be
paid, to the extent permitted by applicable law and as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, by one or more of the following methods. The Committee shall have authority to grant Options that do not entitle the Participant to use
all methods or that require prior written consent of the Company to use certain of the methods. The methods of payment of the Exercise Price are: (1) cash or check payable to the order of the Company; (2) by delivery to the Company of other
Ordinary Shares which, unless otherwise determined by the Committee, have been held for more than six (6) months; (3) by a “net exercise” arrangement pursuant to which the Company will reduce the number of Ordinary Shares issued upon exercise
by the largest whole number of the Ordinary Shares with a Fair Market Value that does not exceed the Exercise Price; provided, however, that the Company shall accept cash or other payment from the Participant to the extent of any remaining
balance of the aggregate Exercise Price not so satisfied, provided further that the Ordinary Shares will no longer be outstanding under an Option and will not be exercisable thereafter to the extent so
applied or withheld to satisfy tax withholding obligations pursuant to Section 17 below or the MITL, as applicable; or (4) any other form of legal consideration or combinations thereof that may be acceptable to the Committee.
(iv)
Limitation on ISO Grants. To the
extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value of the Ordinary Shares (determined at the time the ISO is granted) with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by a Participant during any calendar year under all
incentive stock option plans of the Company or its Subsidiaries in which such Participant has been granted ISOs exceeds $100,000 or such other limitation as then may be imposed by Section 422(d) of the Code, the Options or portions thereof that
exceed such limit (according to the order in which they were granted) shall be treated as Nonqualified Stock Options, notwithstanding any contrary provision of the applicable Award Agreement.
(b) Stock Appreciation Rights. An Award may be in
the form of a SAR. The Exercise Price for a SAR shall not be less than the Fair Market Value of the Ordinary Shares on the Grant Date. The holder of a SAR that is in tandem with an Option may elect to exercise either the Option or the SAR, but
not both. The exercise period for a SAR shall extend no more than ten (10) years after the Grant Date. SARs may not include provisions that “reload” the SAR upon exercise. Subject to the foregoing provisions, the terms, conditions, and
limitations applicable to any SAR, including, but not limited to, the term of any SAR and the date or dates upon which the SAR becomes vested and exercisable, shall be determined by the Committee.
