	 	1/3rd on 3rd anniversary of date of grant

1. This Nonqualified Stock Option Agreement (the “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of      (the
“Date of Grant”) between General Cable Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and      , as a
participant (the “Participant”) in the General Cable Corporation 2005 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), a copy of
which is enclosed herewith. Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Plan.
It is the intent of the Company and the Participant that the Option (as defined in Paragraph 2 below) will not qualify
as an “incentive stock option” under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to time.

2. The Participant is granted an option to purchase      shares of the Common Stock of the Company (the
“Option”). The Option is granted as provided for under the Plan and is subject to the terms and conditions set forth
in the Plan and this Agreement. The Option granted hereunder is a matter of separate inducement and is not in lieu of
salary or other compensation for the services of a Participant who is an employee of the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries.

3. The Option’s exercise price is $    per share (the “Exercise Price”).

4. The Option shall become exercisable according to the vesting schedule set forth above, specifically, the grant
will vest 1/3rd on      , 1/3rd on      , and 1/3rd on      , unless the Option otherwise becomes exercisable
pursuant to Section 14 of the Plan. The Option shall remain exercisable, subject to Paragraph 5 below, until (i) an
expiration date resulting from the termination of the Participant’s employment in accordance with Section 14 of the
Plan or Paragraph 6 below, or (ii) a date established by the Committee within 60 days upon the occurrence of the Change
in Control of the Company in accordance with Section 13(a) or 13(c) of the Plan. For purposes of this Agreement and
Section 14 of the Plan, “disability” shall mean the Participant is, by reason of a mental or physical impairment,
eligible to receive long-term disability benefits under the applicable long-term disability plan of the Company.

5. The Option, unless sooner terminated or exercised in full, shall expire on the tenth anniversary of the Date of
Grant and, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no portion of the Option may be exercised after such date.

6. Notwithstanding Section 14 of the Plan, in the event of the termination of the Participant’s employment on
account of Retirement (as defined below), the exercisable portion of the Option held by the Participant on the date of
the Participant’s Retirement shall remain exercisable until the earlier of (i) the end of the three-year period
following the date of the Participant’s Retirement, or (ii) the date on which the Option would otherwise expire
pursuant to Paragraph 5 above (or, if earlier, the date described in Paragraph 4(ii) above). The portion of the Option
that is not exercisable at the termination date shall be forfeited. Retirement shall mean termination of employment
(other than for Cause, as defined in the Plan) after the Participant has attained age 62 and has completed ten years of
service with the Company and its Subsidiaries.

7. During the Participant’s lifetime, the Option shall not be subject in any manner to alienation, anticipation,
sale, assignment, pledge, encumbrance or other transfer and shall be exercisable only by the Participant. Upon the
death of the Participant, (i) the Option shall be exercisable only by the executor or administrator of the estate of
the deceased Participant or the person or persons to whom the deceased Participant’s rights with respect to the Option
shall pass by will or the laws of descent and distribution and (ii) the Option shall be exercisable in accordance with
Section 14 of the Plan.

8. The Participant may exercise the Option regardless of whether any other option that the Participant has been
granted by the Company remains unexercised. In no event may the Participant exercise the Option for a fraction of a
share or for the lesser of 100 shares or the remaining exercisable shares.

9. Any notice of exercise of the Option shall be in writing addressed to the Corporate Secretary of the Company at
the principal place of business of the Company, specifying the Option being exercised and the number of shares to be
purchased. The Option’s Exercise Price shall be paid by the Participant on the date the Option is exercised in
accordance with Section 6(c) of the Plan. Any shares of Common Stock delivered in payment of the Exercise Price shall
be valued at their Fair Market Value on the date the Option is exercised.

10. By his or her acceptance of this Agreement, the Participant agrees to reimburse the Company for any taxes
required by any government to be withheld or otherwise deducted and paid by the Company with respect to the issuance or
disposition of the shares subject to the Option. In lieu thereof, the Company shall have the right to withhold the
amount of such taxes from any other sums due or to become due from the Company or a Subsidiary, as the case may be, to
the Participant. The Company may, in its discretion, hold the stock certificate or certificates to which the
Participant is entitled upon the exercise of the Option as security for the payment of such withholding tax liability,
until cash sufficient to pay that liability has been accumulated. In addition, at any time that the Company becomes
subject to a withholding obligation under applicable law with respect to the exercise of the Option (the “Tax Date”),
except as set forth below, a holder of the Option may elect to satisfy, in whole or in part, the holder’s related
personal tax liabilities (an “Election”) by (a) directing the Company to withhold from shares issuable in the related
exercise either a specified number of shares or shares having a specified value (in each case not in excess of the
minimum required tax withholding amount), (b) tendering shares previously issued pursuant to the exercise of an Award
or other shares of the Company’s Common Stock owned by the holder or (c) combining any or all of the foregoing
Elections in any fashion. An Election shall be irrevocable. The withheld shares and other shares of Common Stock
tendered in payment shall be valued at their Fair Market Value on the Tax Date. The Committee may disapprove of any
Election, suspend or terminate the right to make Elections or provide that the right to make Elections shall not apply
to particular shares or exercises. The Committee may impose any additional conditions or restrictions on the right to
make an Election as it shall deem appropriate, including any limitations necessary to comply with Section 16 of the
Exchange Act.

11. The Participant shall not have any of the rights of a shareholder with respect to the shares of Common Stock
underlying the Option until the Option is exercised and the Participant receives such shares.

12. The Participant covenants and agrees with the Company that if, at the time of exercise of the Option, there
does not exist a Registration Statement on an appropriate form under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
“Act”), which Registration Statement shall have become effective and shall include a prospectus that is current with
respect to the shares subject to the Option, (i) that he or she is purchasing the shares for his or her own account and
not with a view to the resale or distribution thereof, (ii) that any subsequent offer for sale or sale of any such
shares shall be made either pursuant to (x) a Registration Statement on an appropriate form under the Act, which
Registration Statement shall have become effective and shall be current with respect to the shares being offered and
sold, or (y) a specific exemption from the registration requirements of the Act, but in claiming such exemption, the
Participant shall, prior to any offer for sale or sale of such shares, obtain a favorable written opinion from counsel
for or approved by the Company as to the applicability of such exemption and (iii) that the Participant agrees that the
certificate or certificates evidencing such shares shall bear a legend to the effect of the foregoing.

13. This Agreement is subject to all terms, conditions, limitations and restrictions contained in the Plan, which
shall be controlling in the event of any conflicting or inconsistent provisions.

14. This Agreement is not a contract of employment, as applicable, and the terms of the Participant’s employment
shall not be affected hereby or by any agreement referred to herein except to the extent specifically so provided
herein or therein. Nothing herein shall be construed to impose any obligation on the Company to continue the
employment of a Participant who is employed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, and it shall not impose any
obligation on the Participant’s part to remain in the employ of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. This Agreement
shall be governed by and construed in accord with the laws of the Commonwealth of Kentucky, excluding principles of
conflicts of law.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned have executed this Agreement as of the date written above.
