as Amended February 6, 2003

Amendment to Stock Option Agreement

     This STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT AMENDMENT effective as of                                         , 2006, is entered into
between Imation Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) and Bruce A. Henderson, an employee
of the Company (the “Participant”), pursuant and subject to the terms and conditions of the Imation
Corp. 2000 Stock Incentive Plan, as Amended February 6, 2003 (the “Plan”).

     WHEREAS, pursuant to a certain Stock Option Agreement effective as of May 13, 2004 (as amended
by an Amendment effective as of February 1, 2005, the “Agreement”), the Company granted the
Participant under the Plan the right and option (the “Option”) to purchase from the Company shares
of the Company’s common stock, par value $.01 per share, on the terms and conditions set forth in
the Agreement.

     WHEREAS, the Agreement provides that the Option will become exercisable upon the achievement
of certain performance objectives.

     WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 3 of the Plan, the Compensation Committee has authority to amend
the terms and conditions of the Agreement and the Committee has determined to amend the Agreement
in the manner set forth below.

     NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are
hereby acknowledged, the Company and the Participant hereby agree to amend the Agreement as
follows:

     1. Subsection (a) of Section 5 of the Agreement is hereby amended in its entirety to
read as follows:

     (a) In the event (i) the Company or a subsidiary of the Company terminates the Participant’s
employment with the Company and all its subsidiaries without Cause (defined below) during the
Option Period, (ii) the Company or a subsidiary of the Company terminates the Participant’s
employment with the Company and all its subsidiaries during the Option Period and within
two years after a Change of Control (defined below) for any reason other than for Cause, the
Participant’s death or disability (as described in the Participant’s employment agreement with the
Company dated May 13, 2004 (the “Employment Agreement”)), or (iii) the Participant
terminates his employment with the Company and all its subsidiaries during the Option Period for
Company Breach (defined below) (any of the termination events described in these Sections 5(a)(i),
(ii) and (iii) and any declaration pursuant to Section 8(b)(ii) hereof being referred to herein as
an “Acceleration Termination Event”), then a portion of the Option
described in Section 4(a) or Section 4(b) (as applicable, determined based on the date of such
Acceleration Termination Event) shall immediately vest and become exercisable (subject to the time
periods for exercise set forth in other provisions of this Agreement), if (and only if) the
Company had achieved the required level of growth in operating income for the applicable

 

 

period ending on
the December 31 immediately prior to the date of such Acceleration Termination Event, in accordance
with Section 4(a) or Section 4(b), as applicable. Such Option shall accelerate (if at all) only in
an amount equal to the number of shares of Common Stock determined by multiplying the maximum
number of shares subject to such Option (either 100,000 shares or 75,000 shares, as applicable,
determined based on the date of such Acceleration Termination Event) by the ratio of (i) the
portion of the applicable measurement period set forth in Section 4(a) or 4(b) (expressed in full
fiscal years) through the December 31 immediately prior to the date of such Acceleration
Termination Event, divided by (ii) the total number of full fiscal years in the applicable
measurement period set forth in Section 4(a) or 4(b).

     2. Subsection (d) of Section 5 of this Agreement is hereby amended in its entirety to
read as follows:

          (d) Except as specifically provided in Section 5(a) or Section 8(b)(ii) hereof, there shall
not be any acceleration of vesting of the Option or any portion thereof. Without limiting the
foregoing, a voluntary resignation or retirement by the Participant shall not be an Acceleration
Termination Event.

     3. Subsection (a) of Section 7 of the Agreement is hereby amended in its entirety to
read as follows:

          (a) In the event the Participant shall cease to be employed by the Company or a Subsidiary for
any reason other than termination for Cause or death, or elects to accept Pre-Retirement Leave
(“PRL”) in conjunction with a Company sponsored severance plan, the Participant may
exercise the Option to the extent of (but only to the extent of) the number of vested shares the
Participant was entitled to purchase under the Option on the date of such termination or
commencement of PRL, and such exercise may be effected at any time within 90 days after such
termination of employment or commencement of PRL (or within six months after such termination of
employment or commencement of PRL if such termination or PRL is for any reason following a Change
of Control that would also have constituted a Change of Control prior to the amendment dated
                    , 2006 to this Agreement (the “2006 Amendment”), which definition prior to the 2006
Amendment is set forth in Exhibit A to the 2006 Amendment) but not thereafter; provided,
however, that the Option may not be exercised after the Option Period.

     4. Section 8 of the Agreement is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows:

     8. Adjustments for Stock Dividends, Stock Splits, Recapitalization, Merger or
Consolidation or other Fundamental Changes.

          (a) If all or any portion of the Option shall be exercised subsequent to any stock dividend,
stock split, recapitalization, merger or consolidation involving the Company or
its Common Stock, the Committee shall make appropriate adjustment to the Option to give effect
thereto on an equitable basis.

2

 

          (b) In the event of a proposed Fundamental Change, the Committee may, but shall not be
obligated to:

               (i) with respect to a Fundamental Change that involves a merger or
consolidation, make appropriate provision for the protection of the Option by the
substitution of options and appropriate voting common stock of the corporation
surviving any such merger or consolidation or, if appropriate, the “parent
corporation” (as defined in Section 424(e) of the Code, or any successor provision)
of the Company or such surviving corporation, in lieu of the Option and shares of
Common Stock of the Company, provided that nothing stated herein shall limit the
obligations of the Committee under Section 8(a), or

               (ii) with respect to any Fundamental Change, including, without limitation, a
merger or consolidation, declare, prior to the occurrence of the Fundamental Change,
and provide written notice to the holder of the Option of the declaration, that the
Option, whether or not then exercisable, shall be canceled at the time of, or
immediately prior to the occurrence of, the Fundamental Change in exchange for
payment to the holder of the Option, within 20 days after the Fundamental Change, of
cash (or, if the Committee so elects in lieu of solely cash, of such form(s) of
consideration, including cash and/or property, singly or in such combination as the
Committee shall determine, that the holder of the Option would have received as a
result of the Fundamental Change if the holder of the Option had exercised the
Option immediately prior to the Fundamental Change) equal to, for each share of
Common Stock covered by the canceled Option with respect to which the Option is
exercisable at the time of such cancellation (including shares with respect to which
the Option becomes exercisable pursuant to the following provisions of this Section
8(b)(ii)), the amount, if any, by which the Fair Market Value (as defined in this
Section 8(b)(ii)) per share of Common Stock with respect to which the Option is then
exercisable exceeds the exercise price per share of Common Stock covered by the
Option with respect to which the Option is then exercisable. At the time of the
declaration provided for in the immediately preceding sentence, an Acceleration
Termination Event shall be deemed to have occurred and the Option, to the extent it
has not previously become exercisable in full or expired, shall immediately become
exercisable, to the extent set forth in the next sentence, if (and only if) the
Company had achieved the required level of growth in operating income for the
applicable period ending on the December 31 immediately prior to the date of such
declaration. In such event, the Option shall accelerate only to the extent provided
in the last sentence of Section 5(a), for which purpose the Acceleration Termination
Event shall be deemed to have occurred on the date of the declaration. Following the
declaration, the holder of the Option shall have the right, during the period
preceding the time of cancellation of the Option, to exercise the Option as to all
or any part of the shares of Common Stock covered
thereby for which the Option is exercisable (including as a result of the
Acceleration Termination Event resulting from the declaration pursuant to this
Section 8(a)(ii) but not with respect to the Common Shares for which the Option has
not become exercisable). In the event of a declaration pursuant to this Section
8(b), the

3

 

 Option, to the extent that it shall not have been exercised prior to the
Fundamental Change, shall be canceled at the time of, or immediately prior to, the
Fundamental Change, as provided in the declaration, notwithstanding anything to the
contrary provided in this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the holder of
the Option shall not be entitled to the payment provided for in this Section 8(b) if
such Option shall have expired or been forfeited. For purposes of this Section 8(b)
only, “Fair Market Value” per share of Common Stock means the fair market value, as
determined in good faith by the Committee, of the consideration to be received per
share of Common Stock by the shareholders of the Company upon the occurrence of the
Fundamental Change, notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided in this
Agreement.

       5.  Section 11 of the Agreement is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows:

Imation Corp. 2000 Stock Incentive Plan,

as Amended February 6, 2003

Amendment to Stock Option Agreement

     This STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT AMENDMENT effective as of                                         , 2006, is entered into
between Imation Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) and Frank P. Russomanno, an employee
of the Company (the “Participant”), pursuant and subject to the terms and conditions of the Imation
Corp. 2000 Stock Incentive Plan, as Amended February 6, 2003 (the “Plan”).

     WHEREAS, pursuant to a certain Stock Option Agreement effective as of May 13, 2004 (the
“Agreement”), the Company granted the Participant under the Plan the right and option (the
“Option”) to purchase from the Company shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $.01 per
share, on the terms and conditions set forth in the Agreement.

     WHEREAS, the Agreement provides that the Option will become exercisable upon the achievement
of certain performance objectives.

     WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 3 of the Plan, the Compensation Committee has authority to amend
the terms and conditions of the Agreement and the Committee has determined to amend the Agreement
in the manner set forth below.

     NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are
hereby acknowledged, the Company and the Participant hereby agree to amend the Agreement as
follows:

     1. Subsection (a) of Section 5 of the Agreement is hereby amended in its entirety to
read as follows:

          (a) If prior to December 31, 2007 (i) the Company or a subsidiary of the Company terminates
the Participant’s employment with the Company and all its subsidiaries without Cause, (ii) the
Company or a subsidiary of the Company terminates the Participant’s employment with the Company and
all its subsidiaries and such termination is within two years after a Change of Control for
any reason other than Cause or the Participant’s death or Disability, or (iii) the Participant
terminates his employment with the Company and all its subsidiaries for Company Breach (any of the
termination events described in these Sections 5(a)(i), (ii) and (iii) and any declaration pursuant
to Section 8(b)(ii) hereof being referred to herein as an “Acceleration Termination Event”), then a
portion of the Option shall immediately vest and become exercisable (subject to the time periods
for exercise set forth in other provisions of this Agreement), if (and only if) the Company had
achieved the required level of growth in operating income for the applicable period ending on the
December 31 immediately prior to the date of
such Acceleration Termination Event, in accordance with Section 4. Such Option shall
accelerate (if at all) only in an amount equal to the number of shares of Common Stock determined
by multiplying fifty thousand (50,000) shares by the ratio of (i) the portion of the applicable
measurement period set forth in Section 4 (expressed in full fiscal years) through the December 31
immediately prior to the date of such Acceleration Termination Event, divided by (ii) four (4).

 

 

     2. Subsection (c) of Section 5 of the Agreement is hereby amended in its entirety to
read as follows:

          (c) Except as specifically provided in Section 5(a) or Section 8(b)(ii) hereof, there shall
not be any acceleration of vesting of the Option or any portion thereof. Without limiting the
foregoing, a voluntary resignation or retirement by the Participant shall not be an Acceleration
Termination Event.

     3. Subsection (a) of Section 7 of the Agreement is hereby amended in its entirety to
read as follows:

          (a) In the event the Participant shall cease to be employed by the Company or an Affiliate for
any reason other than termination for Cause, Retirement, death or Disability, the Participant may
exercise the Option to the extent of (but only to the extent of) the number of vested shares the
Participant was entitled to purchase under the Option on the date of such termination of employment
(including the shares, if any, that vested pursuant to Section 5 hereof if an Acceleration
Termination Event has occurred), and the exercise of the Option to that limited extent may be
effected at any time within ninety (90) days after the date of such termination of employment (or
within six (6) months after such termination of employment if such termination is for any reason
following a Change of Control that would also have constituted a Change of Control prior to the
amendment dated                                         , 2006 to this Agreement (the “2006 Amendment”), which definition prior
to the 2006 Amendment is set forth in Exhibit A to the 2006 Amendment) but not thereafter;
provided, however, that the Option may not be exercised after the Expiration Date.

     4. Section 8 of the Agreement is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows:

     8. Anti-Dilution and Fundamental Change Adjustments.

          (a) In the event that the Committee shall determine that any dividend or other distribution
(whether in the form of cash, shares of Common Stock, other securities or other property),
recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation,
split-up, spin-off, combination, repurchase or exchange of shares or other securities of the
Company, issuance of warrants or other rights to purchase shares of Common Stock or other
securities of the Company or other similar corporate transaction or event affects the shares of
Common Stock covered by the Option such that an adjustment is determined by the Committee to be
appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits
intended to be made available under this Agreement, then the Committee shall, in such manner
as it may deem equitable, in its sole discretion, adjust any or all of the number and type of
the shares covered by the Option and the exercise price of the Option.

2

 

          (b) In the event of a proposed Fundamental Change, the Committee may, but shall not be
obligated to:

               (i) with respect to a Fundamental Change that involves a merger or
consolidation, make appropriate provision for the protection of the Option by the
substitution of options and appropriate voting common stock of the corporation
surviving any such merger or consolidation or, if appropriate, the “parent
corporation” (as defined in Section 424(e) of the Code, or any successor provision)
of the Company or such surviving corporation, in lieu of the Option and shares of
Common Stock of the Company, provided that nothing stated herein shall limit the
obligations of the Committee under Section 8(a), or

               (ii) with respect to any Fundamental Change, including, without limitation, a
merger or consolidation, declare, prior to the occurrence of the Fundamental Change,
and provide written notice to the holder of the Option of the declaration, that the
Option, whether or not then exercisable, shall be canceled at the time of, or
immediately prior to the occurrence of, the Fundamental Change in exchange for
payment to the holder of the Option, within 20 days after the Fundamental Change, of
cash (or, if the Committee so elects in lieu of solely cash, of such form(s) of
consideration, including cash and/or property, singly or in such combination as the
Committee shall determine, that the holder of the Option would have received as a
result of the Fundamental Change if the holder of the Option had exercised the
Option immediately prior to the Fundamental Change) equal to, for each share of
Common Stock covered by the canceled Option with respect to which the Option is
exercisable at the time of such cancellation (including shares with respect to which
the Option becomes exercisable pursuant to the following provisions of this Section
8(b)(ii)), the amount, if any, by which the Fair Market Value (as defined in this
Section 8(b)(ii)) per share of Common Stock with respect to which the Option is then
exercisable exceeds the exercise price per share of Common Stock covered by the
Option with respect to which the Option is then exercisable. At the time of the
declaration provided for in the immediately preceding sentence, an Acceleration
Termination Event shall be deemed to have occurred and the Option, to the extent it
has not previously become exercisable in full or expired, shall immediately become
exercisable, to the extent set forth in the next sentence, if (and only if) the
Company had achieved the required level of growth in operating income for the
applicable period ending on the December 31 immediately prior to the date of such
declaration. In such event, the Option shall accelerate only to the extent provided
in the last sentence of Section 5(a), for which purpose the Acceleration Termination
Event shall be deemed to have occurred on the date of the declaration. Following the
declaration, the holder of the Option shall have the right, during the period
preceding the time of cancellation of the Option, to exercise the Option as to all
or any part of the shares of Common Stock covered
thereby for which the Option is exercisable (including as a result of the
Acceleration Termination Event resulting from the declaration pursuant to this
Section 8(a)(ii) but not with respect to the Common Shares for which the Option

has
not become exercisable). In the event of a declaration pursuant to this Section
8(b), the

3

 

Option, to the extent that it shall not have

been exercised prior to the
Fundamental Change, shall be canceled at the time of, or immediately prior to, the
Fundamental Change, as provided in the declaration, notwithstanding anything to the
contrary provided in this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the holder of
the Option shall not be entitled to the payment provided for in this Section 8(b) if
such Option shall have expired or been forfeited. For purposes of this Section 8(b)
only, “Fair Market Value” per share of Common Stock means the fair market value, as
determined in good faith by the Committee, of the consideration to be received per
share of Common Stock by the shareholders of the Company upon the occurrence of the
Fundamental Change, notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided in this
Agreement.

     5. Section 12 of the Agreement is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows:

     12. Definitions. Terms not defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings given to
them in the Plan, and the following terms shall have the following meanings when used in this

Participant from participating in the conduct of the affairs of the Company or (v) any breach of
this Agreement that is not remedied within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice from
the Company specifying such breach in reasonable detail.

approved by a vote of at least a majority of the directors then comprising the
Incumbent Board (other than a nomination of an individual whose initial assumption
of office is in connection with a solicitation with respect to the election or
removal of directors of the Company in opposition to the solicitation by the Board

election was approved in advance by a vote of a majority of the Continuing Directors (other
than a nomination of an individual whose initial assumption of office is in connection with
an actual or threatened solicitation with respect to the election or removal of the
Directors of the Company, as such terms are used in Regulation 14A under the Exchange Act)
shall be deemed to be a Continuing Director; or

     (iii) the approval by the shareholders of the Company of a reorganization, merger,

approved in advance by a vote of a majority of the Continuing Directors; or

     (iv) the first purchase under any tender offer or exchange offer (other than an offer
