Vesting

Unless otherwise provided in an agreement between you and the Company, if your Service terminates for any reason except death, total and permanent disability, or retirement due to age, in accordance with the Company's or a Subsidiary's or Affiliate's

reason, then the per-share exercise price for each tranche of this option not already priced as of the date of such termination of Service shall become fixed at an amount equal to the closing price of Verigy ordinary shares on the last trading day
immediately preceding your last day of Service.
	

 	
No Affect On Vesting.    The Vesting provisions applicable to any tranche shall not be affected by a change in the timing of establishing the exercise price in accordance
with the preceding paragraphs.
	

Leaves of Absence and Part-Time Work

Withholding Taxes and Stock Withholding	

Regardless of any action the Company or your employer (the "Employer") takes with respect to any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related withholding ("Tax-Related Items"), you acknowledge that the
ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items legally due by you is and remains your responsibility and that the Company and/or the Employer (1) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection
with any aspect of the option grant, including the grant, vesting or exercise of the option, the subsequent sale of shares acquired pursuant to such exercise and the receipt of any dividends; and (2) do not commit to structure the terms of the grant
or any aspect of the option to reduce or eliminate your liability for Tax-Related Items.
	

 	

Prior to exercise of the option, you will pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Employer to satisfy all withholding and payment on account obligations of the Company and/or the Employer. In this regard, you
authorize the Company and/or the Employer to withhold all applicable Tax-Related Items legally payable by you from your wages or other cash compensation paid to you by the Company and/or the Employer or from proceeds of the sale of shares.
Alternatively, or in addition, if permissible under local law, the Company may (1) sell or arrange for the sale of shares that you acquire to meet the withholding obligation for Tax- Related Items, and/or (2) withhold in shares, provided that the
Company only withholds the amount of shares necessary to satisfy the minimum withholding amount. Finally, you will pay to the Company or the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Employer may be required to withhold as a
result of your participation in the Plan or your purchase of shares that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Company may refuse to honor the exercise and refuse to deliver the shares if you fail to comply with your obligations
in connection with the Tax-Related Items as described in this section.
	

Restrictions on Resale	

You agree not to sell any option shares at a time when applicable laws, Company policies or an agreement between the Company and its underwriters prohibit a sale. This restriction will apply as long as your Service continues and for such period of
time after the termination of your Service as the Company may specify.
	

Transfer of Option	

Unless determined otherwise by the Committee, this option may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred, or disposed of in any manner other than by the beneficiary designation, will or by the laws of descent or distribution and may be
exercised, during your lifetime, only by you. If the Committee makes this option transferable, it shall contain such additional terms and conditions as the Committee deems appropriate.
	

Retention Rights	

Your option or this Agreement does not give you the right to be retained by the Company or a subsidiary of the Company in any capacity. The Company and its subsidiaries reserve the right to terminate your Service at any time, with or without
cause.

Stockholder Rights	

You, or your estate or heirs, have no rights as a stockholder of the Company until you have exercised this option by submitting the required notice in accordance with the provisions under "Notice of Exercise" set forth above and paying the exercise
price and any applicable withholding taxes. No adjustments are made for dividends or other rights if the applicable record date occurs before you exercise this option, except as described in the Plan.
	

Adjustments	

In the event of a stock split, a stock dividend or a similar change in Company stock, the number of shares covered by this option and the exercise price per share may be adjusted pursuant to the Plan.
	

Nature of the Grant	

In accepting the grant, you acknowledge that:
	

 	

(a)	

the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature and it may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time, unless otherwise provided in the Plan and this Share Option 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 Company;
	

 	

(d)	

you are 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 Company or the Employer, and which is outside the scope of your employment contract, if any;
	

 	

(f)	

the option is not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purposes, including, but not limited to, calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or
retirement benefits or similar payments and in no event should be considered as compensation for, or relating in any way to, past services for the Company or the Employer;
	

 	

(g)	

in the event that you are not an employee of the Company, the option grant will not be interpreted to form an employment contract or relationship with the Company; and furthermore, the option grant will not be interpreted to form an employment
contract with the Employer or any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company;
	

 	

(h)	

the future value of the underlying shares is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty;
	

 	

(i)	

if the underlying shares do not increase in value, the option will have no value;

(k)

termination of your employment by the Company or the Employer (for any reason whatsoever and whether or not in breach of local labor laws) and you irrevocably release the Company and the Employer from any such claim that may arise; if,
notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen, then, by signing this Share Option Agreement, you shall be deemed irrevocably to have waived your entitlement to pursue such claim;
and
	

 	

(l)	

in the event of termination of your employment (whether or not in breach of local labor laws), your right to receive the option and vest in the option under the Plan, if any, will terminate effective as of the date that you are no longer actively
employed and will not be extended by any notice period mandated under local law (e.g., active employment would not include a period of "garden leave" or similar period pursuant to local law); furthermore, in the event of termination of employment
(whether or not in breach of local labor laws), your right to exercise the option after termination of employment, if any, will be measured by the date of termination of your active employment and will not be extended by any notice period mandated
under local law; the Company shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when you are no longer actively employed for purposes of your option grant.

You hereby explicitly and unambiguously consent to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of your personal data as described in this Share Option Agreement by and among, as applicable, your
