 Exhibit 10.8 
 FORM OF 
 WABCO HOLDINGS INC. 
 STOCK OPTION GRANT AGREEMENT 
 FOR NON-U.S. EMPLOYEES 
 WABCO HOLDINGS INC., a Delaware corporation (“Grantor”), hereby grants to             
(“Participant”), an employee of Grantor or one of its subsidiaries, the option to purchase (“Option”), at the exercise price set forth below, a total of          shares of Common
Stock, par value $.01 per share (“Common Stock”), of the Grantor, pursuant to and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Grantor’s Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) and to such further terms and conditions as
are set forth below in this Stock Option Grant Agreement (the “Agreement). Unless otherwise defined herein, the terms defined in the Plan shall have the same meanings in this Agreement. 
 1. Exercise Price. The exercise price applicable to the shares of Common Stock that may be purchased by the Participant pursuant to the Option is
$         per share, representing the Fair Market Value (as defined in the Plan) of the Common Stock on the date hereof. 
 2. Non-Qualified Stock Option. The option to purchase shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Option is granted as a “non-qualified stock option”, within the meaning of the United States
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. 
 3. Vesting. Participant’s right to purchase shares subject to the Option shall vest in three
equal installments on each of the first three anniversaries of the grant, unless otherwise cancelled pursuant to Section 6 of the Plan or Section 11 of this Agreement. 
 4. Nature of Grant. In accepting the grant, the Participant acknowledges that: 
 (a) the Plan
is established voluntarily by the Grantor, it is discretionary in nature and it may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Grantor at any time, unless otherwise provided in the Plan and this Agreement; 
 (b) the grant of the Option is voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of options, or
benefits in lieu of options, even if options have been granted repeatedly in the past; 
 (c) all decisions with respect to future option
grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Grantor; 
 (d) the Participant is voluntarily participating in the Plan; 

(e) the Option is an extraordinary item that does not constitute compensation of any kind for services of any kind rendered to the Grantor and
Subsidiary, and which is outside the scope of the Participant’s employment or service contract, if any; 
 (f) the Option is not part of
normal or expected compensation or salary for any purposes, including, but not limited to, calculation of any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension, retirement or welfare
benefits or similar payments and in no event should be considered as compensation for, or relating in any way, to past services for the Grantor, or any Subsidiary; 
 (g) in the event that the Participant is not an Employee of the Grantor, the Option and Participant’s participation in the Plan will not be interpreted to form an employment or service contract or relationship
with the Grantor; and, furthermore, the Option and Participant’s participation in the Plan will not be interpreted to form an employment or service contract or relationship with any Subsidiary of the Grantor; 







 (h) the future value of the underlying shares of Common Stock is unknown and cannot be predicted with
certainty; if the underlying shares do not increase in value, the Option will have no value; and 
 (i) in consideration of the Option, no
claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from termination of the Option or from any diminution in value of the Option or shares of Common Stock acquired upon exercise of the Option resulting from termination of Participant’s
employment by the Grantor or any Subsidiary (for any reason whatsoever and whether or not in breach of local labor laws) and Participant irrevocably releases the Grantor and any Subsidiary from any such claim that may arise. 
 5. Responsibility for Taxes. Regardless of any action the Grantor and/or Participant’s employer (the “Employer”) takes with respect to any
or all income tax (including U.S. federal, state and local tax and/or non-U.S. tax), social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related withholding (“Tax-Related Items”), Participant acknowledges that the ultimate
liability for all Tax-Related Items legally due by Participant is and remains Participant’s responsibility and that the Grantor and/or the Employer (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related
Items in connection with any aspect of the Option, including the grant, vesting and exercise of the Option, the delivery of shares of Common Stock, the subsequent sale of any shares of Common Stock acquired at exercise and the receipt of any
dividends; and (ii) do not commit to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Option to reduce or eliminate Participant’s liability for Tax-Related Items. 
 Prior to the relevant taxable event, Participant shall pay or make arrangements satisfactory to the Grantor and/or the Employer to satisfy all
Tax-Related Items withholding obligations of the Grantor and/or the Employer. In this regard, Participant authorizes the Grantor and/or the Employer to withhold all applicable Tax-Related Items legally payable by Participant from any wages or other
cash compensation paid to Participant by the Grantor and/or the Employer. Alternatively, or in addition, Participant authorizes the Grantor and/or the Employer, at its discretion and pursuant to such procedures as it may specify from time to time,
to satisfy the obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items legally payable by Participant by one or a combination of the following: (i) withholding otherwise deliverable shares of Common Stock, provided that the Grantor only withholds the
amount of shares of Common Stock necessary to satisfy the minimum withholding amount; and (ii) arranging for the sale of shares of Common Stock otherwise deliverable to Participant (on Participant’s behalf and at Participant’s
direction pursuant to this authorization) and withholding from the proceeds of the sale of shares. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding a number of shares of Common Stock as described herein, Participant is deemed to
have been issued the full number of shares of Common Stock subject to the Option, notwithstanding that a number of the shares of Common Stock are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items due as a result of any aspect of the
Option. Participant shall pay to the Grantor and/or the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Grantor and/or the Employer may be required to withhold as a result of Participant’s participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by
the means previously described. The Grantor may refuse to deliver to Participant any shares of Common Stock pursuant to Participant’s Option if Participant fails to comply with Participant’s obligations in connection with the Tax-Related
Items as described in this section.

EXPLICITLY AND UNAMBIGUOUSLY CONSENTS TO THE COLLECTION, USE AND TRANSFER, IN
ELECTRONIC OR OTHER FORM, OF HIS OR HER PERSONAL DATA AS DESCRIBED
IN THIS AGREEMENT BY AND AMONG, AS APPLICABLE, THE EMPLOYER, THE
