The Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Littelfuse, Inc. (the “Company”), based
on the recommendation of the Compensation Committee, hereby grants to [Name]
(the “Grantee”), a Participant in the Amended and Restated Littelfuse, Inc.
Long-Term Incentive Plan, as amended from time-to-time (the “Plan”), a
non-qualified option to purchase shares of Littelfuse, Inc. common stock (the
“Options” or “Award”), subject to the terms and conditions as described herein.
This agreement to grant Options (the “Award Agreement”), is effective as of
[Date] (the “Grant Date”).

This Award Agreement provides the Grantee with the terms of the Award granted to
the Grantee. The terms specified in this Award Agreement are governed by the
provisions of the Plan, which is incorporated herein by reference. The
Compensation Committee of the Board, or its delegate (the “Committee”) has the
exclusive authority to interpret and apply the Plan and this Award Agreement.
Any interpretation of the Award Agreement by the Committee and any decision made
by it with respect to the Award Agreement are final and binding on all persons.
To the extent that there is any conflict between the terms of this Award
Agreement and the Plan, the Plan shall govern. Capitalized terms used herein
will have the same meaning as under the Plan, unless stated otherwise.

In consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants hereinafter set
forth, it is agreed by and between the Company and the Grantee, as follows:

anniversary of the Grant Date, subject to the provisions in Section 4.

Termination of Service.

a.
General. Except as otherwise set forth in Sections 4b., 4c. and 4d. below, if
the Grantee’s membership on the Board terminates for any reason (including upon
removal from the Board for Cause), any Option that is not vested under the
schedule in Section 2 is forfeited as of the date of the Grantee’s termination
of service.

Other than due to termination for Cause, any vested Option will remain
exercisable for 3 months following the Grantee’s termination of service (or the
Option Expiration Date, if sooner). In any event, if the Grantee’s termination
of service is due to removal from the Board for Cause, all Options will expire
on the date of termination, regardless of the vesting date.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

b.
Retirement or Resignation. If the Grantee terminates (including where not
re-elected) from continuous service on the Board after at least 5 years (other
than by removal from the Board for Cause), all unvested Options shall become
immediately vested and the Options will remain exercisable until 12 months after
the Grantee’s date of termination.

c.
Death or Disability. If the Grantee’s membership on the Board terminates as a
result of his or her death or Disability, all unvested Options shall become
immediately vested and the Options will remain exercisable until 3 months after
the Grantee’s date of termination in the case of Disability or 12 months after
the Grantee’s date of termination due to death.

d.
Change in Control. In the event of a Change in Control, then all unvested
Options shall become immediately vested and will remain exercisable until the
Option Expiration Date or based on the Grantee’s earlier termination of service
as described above.

The existence of Cause will be determined in the sole discretion of the Board.
Also, the Board may, in its sole discretion, choose to accelerate the vesting of
the Award in special circumstances.

5.
Method of Option Exercise. Subject to the terms of this Award Agreement and the
Plan, the Grantee may exercise, in whole or in part, any vested Option at any
time by complying with the exercise procedures established by the Company in its
sole discretion. The Grantee shall pay the Exercise Price for the Options being
exercised to the Company in full, at the time of the exercise, either:

a.
In cash;

b.
In shares of Stock having a Fair Market Value equal to the aggregate Exercise
Price for the shares of Stock being purchased and satisfying such other
requirements as may be imposed by the Company; provided, that, such shares of
Stock have been held by the Grantee for no less than six (6) months;

c.
Partly in cash and partly in shares of Stock (described in 5b); or

d.
Through the delivery of irrevocable instructions to a broker to deliver promptly
to the Company an amount equal to the aggregate Exercise Price for the shares of
Stock being purchased (“cashless exercise”).

Anything to the contrary herein notwithstanding, the Options cannot be
exercised, and the Company shall not be obligated to issue any shares of Stock
hereunder, if the Company determines that the issuance of such shares would
violate the provision of any applicable law, including the rules and regulations
of any securities exchange on which the Stock is traded. Fractional shares will
not be paid.

6.
Taxes. All exercises and distributions under this Award Agreement are subject to
withholding of all applicable taxes based on country specific tax requirements.
As a Director of the Company, the Grantee is subject to Section 16 of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Exchange Act") and other securities laws, and
as a result any surrender of previously-owned shares to satisfy tax withholding
obligations arising upon exercise of an Option, or a cashless exercise, must
comply with the requirements of Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act
and other relevant law, rules and regulations and Company guidelines.

7.
Transferability. The Options are not transferable other than: (a) by will or by
the laws of descent and distribution; (b) pursuant to a domestic relations
order; or (c) to members of the Grantee’s immediate family, to trusts solely for
the benefit of such immediate family members or to partnerships in which family
members and/or trusts are the only partners, all as provided under the terms of
the Plan. After any such transfer, the transferred Options shall remain subject
to the terms of the Plan.

8.
Adjustment of Shares. In the event of any transaction described in Section 4.3
of the Plan, the terms of this Award (including, without limitation, the number
and kind of shares subject to this Award and the Exercise Price) may be
adjusted, as applicable, as set forth in Section 4.3 of the Plan.

9.
Shareholder Rights. The grant of this Award does not confer on the Grantee any
rights as a shareholder or any contractual or other rights as a member of the
Board or otherwise with the Company or one or more of its subsidiaries. The
Grantee will not have shareholder rights with respect to any shares of Stock
subject to an Option until the Option is exercised and the shares of Stock are
delivered to the Grantee. No adjustment shall be made for dividends,
distributions or other rights for which the record date is prior to such date,
except as provided under the Plan.

10.
Electronic Delivery. The Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver
any documents related to the Options or other awards granted to the Grantee
under the Plan by electronic means. The Grantee hereby consents to receive such
documents by electronic delivery and agrees to participate in the Plan through
an online or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or a
third party designated by the Company.

11.
Severability. If one or more of the provisions in this Award Agreement shall be
held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality
and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected
thereby and the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions shall be deemed
null and void; however, to the extent permissible by law, any provisions which
could be deemed null and void shall first be construed, interpreted or revised
retroactively to permit this Award Agreement to be construed so as to foster the
intent of this Award Agreement and the Plan.

12.
Amendments. Except as otherwise provided in Section 13, this Award Agreement may
be amended only by a written agreement executed by the Company and the Grantee.

13.
Section 409A. The Options are intended to be exempt from the requirements of
Section 409A. The Plan and this Award Agreement shall be administered and
interpreted in a manner consistent with this intent. If the Company determines
that this Award Agreement is subject to Section 409A and that the Option Award
fails to comply with the requirements of Section 409A, the Company may, at the
Company’s sole discretion, and without the Grantee’s consent, amend this Award
Agreement to cause it to comply with Section 409A or be exempt from Section
409A.

14. Governing Law. This Award Agreement shall be construed under the laws of the
State of Delaware.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Award Agreement to be executed
in its name and on its behalf, as of the Grant Date.
