NONQUALIFIED STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT
PURSUANT TO THE FMC CORPORATION
INCENTIVE COMPENSATION AND STOCK PLAN

This Agreement is made by FMC CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation, (the
“Company”) and [Participant Name] (the “Employee”).
The Compensation and Organization Committee of the Board (the “Committee”)
determined that it would be to the competitive advantage and interest of the
Company and its stockholders to grant a stock option to the Employee as an
inducement to remain in the service of the Company or one of its Affiliates
(collectively, the “Employer”), and as an incentive for increased efforts during
such service.

The stock option evidenced hereby is granted pursuant to the FMC Corporation
Incentive Compensation and Stock Plan (the “Plan”). The Plan, as it may be
amended and continued, is incorporated by reference and made a part of this
Agreement and will control the rights and obligations of the Company and the
Employee under this Agreement. Capitalized not otherwise defined herein will
have the same meanings as in the Plan. To the extent there is a conflict between
the Plan and this Agreement, the Plan will prevail.

The Committee, on behalf of the Company, has granted to the Employee on the
[Grant Date] (the “Grant Date”) a nonqualified stock option (the “Option”) to
purchase an aggregate of [Number of Shares Granted] shares of the common stock
of the Company par value of $.10 per share (the “Common Stock”) at a price of
[Grant Price] per share upon the following terms and conditions:

1.    Time of Exercise of Option. Subject to its termination as provided in
Section 3, below, and to the satisfaction of the requirements of Section 2
below, 100% of the Option will become exercisable upon the earliest of the
following (the “Vesting Date”):

a.the third anniversary of the Grant Date;

b.the date of the Employee’s death;

c.the date of the Employee’s Disability;

d.the date of the Employee’s retirement after he or she (i) has both attained
age 62 and completed 10 years of service with the Employer; or (ii) attained age
65 (“Retirement”); or

e.the cessation of the Employee’s employment with the Employer within two years
following a Change in Control due to a termination by the Employer without Cause
or a resignation by the Employee with Good Reason (as defined in Section 18),
provided (i) the Employee executes and delivers to the Employer a general
release of claims against the Company and its Affiliates in a

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

form prescribed by the Employer, and (ii) such release becomes irrevocable
within 60 days following that cessation or such shorter period specified by the
Employer.

Once exercisable, the Option will remain exercisable from time to time, in whole
or in part, until terminated in accordance with the Plan or Section 3, below.
This right extends to the Employee or the person or persons to whom the
Employee’s rights under the Option pass by will or by the applicable laws of
descent and distribution.

2.    Employment. Subject to Section 3, below, it is a condition precedent to
the right to exercise the Option that the Employee remain in the employ of the
Employer continuously during the period from the Grant Date to the Vesting Date.
Any portion of the Option that is not vested as of the Employee’s termination of
employment with the Employer (including any portion subject to acceleration
under Section 1(e) but for which the release requirement is not timely
satisfied) will be forfeited as of such termination of employment.

3.    Termination of Option. The Option and all rights hereunder, to the extent
such rights will not have been exercised, will terminate and become null and
void on the earliest of (a)[Expiration Date], (b)  three months after the date
the Employee ceases to be an employee of the Employer for any reason other than
death, Disability or Retirement, (c) the fifth anniversary of the Employee’s
Retirement or termination due to Disability or death, (d) the date the Employee
is terminated for Cause, or (e) if so determined by the Committee, the date of
the consummation of a Change in Control, provided the Employee is afforded the
opportunity to exercise the Option immediately prior to that Change in Control
(such earliest date being referred to as the "Option Expiration Date").

4.    Right to Exercise. The Option may be exercised at any time on or after the
date on which it first becomes exercisable under Sections 1 and 2 above, to and
including the Option Expiration Date by the Employee or by the person or persons
to whom the Employee's rights under the Option will pass by will or by the
applicable laws of descent and distribution. In no event may the Option be
exercised to any extent by anyone before it becomes exercisable pursuant to
Sections 1 and 2 above, or after the Option Expiration Date.

5.    Method of Exercise. The Employee (or other person entitled to do so) may
exercise the Option with respect to all or any part of the shares then subject
to such exercise (a) by contacting the Company c/o Fidelity Stock Plan Services
via website netbenefits.com or telephone 1-800-544-9354, specifying the Grant
Date, the number of such shares as to which the Option is being exercised,
paying by cash or check, bank draft or postal or express money order payable to
the order of the Company in lawful money of the United States an amount equal to
the sum of the option price of such shares and the amount of any taxes required
to be withheld by the Company (the “Option Payment”) or by shares of Common
Stock having a Fair Market Value at the date of such notice equal to the Option
Payment or by a combination of cash, check, draft, money order and such shares,
and (b) by giving satisfactory assurance in writing that such shares will not be
publicly offered for sale, other than on a national securities exchange. The

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

Company may from time to time make available alternative methods of exercise
upon notice to the Employee. As soon as practicable after receipt of such notice
and payment, the Company will, without transfer or issue tax or other incidental
expense to the Employee or other person exercising the Option, issue the Common
Stock deliverable upon such exercise by causing its transfer agent to make an
appropriate book entry in the name of the Employee or other person exercising
the Option.

6.    Adjustment. The Committee may make equitable substitutions or adjustments
in the Option and/or Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Option as it
determines to be appropriate in the event of any corporate event or transaction
such as a stock split, merger, consolidation, separation, including a spin-off
or other distribution of stock or property of the Company, reorganization or any
partial or complete liquidation of the Company.

7.    Rights Prior to Exercise. The Option will during the Employee’s lifetime
be exercisable only by the Employee, and neither the Option nor any right
thereunder will be assignable or transferable by the Employee by voluntary or
involuntary act, operation of law, or otherwise, other than by testamentary
bequest or devise or the laws of descent and distribution. Any effort to assign
or transfer a right, except as provided for herein, will be ineffective and may
result in the Company terminating the Option. Neither the Employee nor any other
person entitled to exercise the Option will have any of the rights of a
stockholder with respect to the shares subject to the Option, except to the
extent that Common Stock will have been issued upon the exercise of the Option.

8.    No Limitation on Rights of the Company. The granting of the Option will
not in any way affect the right or power of the Company to make adjustments,
reclassifications or changes in its capital or business structure or to merge,
consolidate, reincorporate, dissolve, liquidate or sell or transfer all or any
part of its business or assets.

9    Clawback Policy. To the extent the Employee is a current or former
executive officer of the Company, this Option, any Common Stock or other
securities or property issued in respect of this Option or upon exercise of the
Option, and the rights of the Employee hereunder, are subject to any policy
(whether currently in existence or later adopted) established by the Company
providing for clawback or recovery of amounts paid or credited to current or
former executive officers of the Company. The Compensation Committee of the
Company’s Board of Directors will make any determination for clawback or
recovery under any such policy in its sole discretion and in accordance with any
applicable law or regulation, and the Employee agrees to be bound by any such
determination.

9.    Employment. Nothing in this Agreement or in the Plan will be construed as
constituting a commitment, guarantee, agreement or understanding of any kind or
nature that the Employer will continue to employ the Employee, or as affecting
in any way the right of the Employer to terminate the employment of the Employee
at any time.

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

10.    Government Regulation. The Company’s obligation to deliver Common Stock
upon exercise of the Option will be subject to all applicable laws, rules and
regulations and to such approvals by any governmental agencies or national
