                             (the “Grant Date”) between Fairchild Semiconductor

(“you” or the “Optionee”). 
  

							
	 1. Option Grant; Exercise Price
	    	The Company grants you the option to purchase up to              Shares at an exercise price of
$             per Share. This option grant is subject to the terms of this Agreement and the Plan. If there is a conflict between the terms of this Agreement and those of the Plan,
the terms of the Plan will govern. Capitalized terms not defined in this Agreement are defined in the Plan.
		
	 2. Option Term; Vesting
	    	The term of your option is 8 years and one day from the Grant Date. Your option terminates at the end of the term and cannot be exercised after the term. You can exercise your
option only to the extent it has vested. Your option will vest in increments, as follows:
				
	 	    	 Vesting Date
	  	 Percentage Vested
 (including portion that vested the preceding year)
	  	 
		    	 1st Anniversary of Grant

	 3. Termination of Employment
	    	 You must remain an employee of the Company or an Affiliate to be able to exercise your option, except as follows:
  
 Retirement, Disability or death. If your employment terminates because of your Retirement or
Disability (as those terms are defined in the Plan) or your death, then you (or your estate) will have five years from your termination date to exercise your option, unless the option term ends earlier, in which case you (or your estate) will have
until the end of the term to exercise. In addition, if your employment terminates because of your Retirement or Disability and you die within the five-year exercise period, your estate will have at least one year after your death to exercise, unless
the option term ends earlier, in which case your estate will have until the end of the term to exercise.
  
 Termination by the Company. If your employment is terminated for Cause (as defined in the Plan), all options will be terminated, whether or not vested, and you may have to repay any gains on prior exercised
options. If your employment is terminated by the Company not for Cause and not as a result of your Retirement, Disability or death, then you (or your estate) will have 90 days from your termination date to exercise your option, unless the option
term ends earlier, in which case you (or your estate) will have until the end of the term to exercise.
  
 All other cases. If your employment terminates because you resign voluntarily, or for any other reason other than those stated above, you (or your estate, if you die within the period) will have 30 days from
your termination date to exercise your option, unless the option term ends earlier, in which case you (or your estate) will have until the end of the term to exercise.
  

Regardless of the cause of your termination, you (or your estate) can exercise your option only to the extent it is vested on your termination
date.

		
	 4. No Acquired Rights
	    	 Discretionary grant. Any options granted under the terms of this Agreement are entirely at the discretion of the Company. With the
approval of the Board, and subject to the terms of the Plan, the Administrator may terminate, amend, or modify the Plan; provided, however, that except as provided in the Plan, no such termination, amendment, or modification of the Plan may
in any way impair your rights under this Agreement without your consent.
  
 No acquired
right. The options granted under the terms of this Agreement do not make you eligible for any further options at any time in the future.
  
 Not part of employment contract/No guarantee of employment. The options are not part of your employment relationship or remuneration under your employment
contract, nor will they be included in the calculation of severance payments, retirement benefits, or other payments, if any, upon termination of your employment. Moreover, neither the Plan nor this Agreement imposes an obligation on the Company to
at any time continue your employment relationship with the Company.
  
 Not liable for
Loss of Value. The Company is not liable for any financial loss on your part as a result of any mandatory taxes and other withholdings related to the options or financial loss due to foreign exchange fluctuations between your local currency and
the U.S. dollar (if applicable). Nor will the Company or its Affiliates be liable for any loss of value of the shares upon the exercise of the option.










							
		
	 5. Foreign Exchange/ Ownership
	    	Please note that the exercise of your option may result in your ownership of the Company’s common stock, and may also require the transfer of funds outside of your country to
the U.S. (if you are a non-U.S. participant), and the use of a U.S.-based brokerage account. By signing this Agreement you acknowledge that you will personally bear responsibility for any compliance requirements under local or national law
regulating such foreign investment and capital flows. These laws may change from time to time and the Company cannot guarantee that you will be able to use all of the exercise methods permitted under the Plan. It is recommended to seek your own
professional advice in relation to your participation in this stock option program.
		
	 6. Personal Data Protection
	    	By signing this Agreement, you confirm that you understand and agree that it will be necessary for the administration of the Plan to collect and process your personal data
relating to the options that were granted to you. Moreover, if you are a non-U.S. participant it may be necessary to transfer this personal data, outside of the country in which you work or are employed, to the United States or any other third
countries. By signing this Agreement, you explicitly consent to the collection, use and transfer of your personal data for the above described purpose to the Company or its Affiliates and any third party service provider as selected by the Company
insofar it relates to the administration of the Plan. The United States may be considered to have a different or lower level of data protection than your country. You may request access to and correction of your personal data by contacting your
local Human Resources Manager. You understand that failure to consent to the collection use and transfer of your personal data for the administration of Plan may affect your ability to receive options.
		
	 7. Electronic Delivery
	    	The Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to any awards granted under the Plan by electronic means or to request your consent to participate
in the Plan by electronic means. You hereby consent to receive such documents by electronic delivery and, if requested, to agree to participate in the Plan through an on-line or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or another
third party designated by the Company, and such consent shall remain in effect throughout your term of employment or service with the Company and thereafter until withdrawn in writing by you.
		
	 8. Non-Transferability
	    	Your options are not transferable except by will or the laws of descent and distribution. This option shall not be subject to attachment or similar process. Any attempted sale,
pledge, assignment, transfer or other disposition of your option contrary to the provisions of this Agreement or the Plan, or the levy of any attachment or similar process upon your option, shall be null and void without effect.
		
	 9. Applicable Law
	    	This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware.
