          NONSTATUTORY
          STOCK OPTION

      

    

    (Initial
      Grant - Board Service)

     

    TERMS
      and CONDITIONS of STOCK OPTION

     

    This
      document sets forth the terms of an Option (the “Option”) granted by NVIDIA
      Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), pursuant to its 2007 Equity
      Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). The Option is evidenced by a Certificate of Stock
      Option Grant (“Certificate”) displayed on the website of Smith Barney Stock Plan
      Services or such other third party stock administration provider used by the
      Company from time to time (the “Website”). The Certificate is hereby
      incorporated herein by reference, including without limitation the information
      in the Certificate that specifies the person to whom the Option is granted
      (“you” or “Grantee”), the specific details of the Option, and your automatic
      electronic acceptance of the Certificate at the Website.  Defined
      terms not explicitly defined in this Terms and Conditions of Stock Option but
      defined in the Plan shall have the same definitions as in the Plan.

     

    The
      details of your Option are as follows:

     

    1.  The
      total number of shares of Common Stock subject to this Option are set forth
      in
      the Certificate This Option is not intended to qualify and will
not be treated as an “incentive stock option” within the meaning of
      Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
“Code”).

     

    2.  The
      exercise price of this Option is set forth on the Certificate, and is equal
      to
      the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the date of grant of this
      Option.

     

    3.  Subject
      to the limitations contained herein, this Option shall vest and be exercisable
      as follows:

     

    (a)  This
      Option will vest quarterly in equal installments over the three (3)-year period
      following the date of grant, such that this Option shall be fully vested and
      exercisable on the three (3)-year anniversary of the date of grant, subject
      to
      your Continuous Service.

     

    (b)  If
      your Continuous Service terminates at any time as a result of your death, this
      Option shall be immediately fully vested and exercisable.

    

    (c)   Except
      as otherwise expressly provided in the Plan (including Section 5(g) thereof),
      if
      your Continuous Service terminates for any reason or for no reason, this Option
      shall be exercisable only to the extent vested on such termination date, and
      shall terminate to the extent not exercised on the earlier of the Expiration
      Date (as defined below) or the date that is twelve (12) months following
      the date of termination.  However, if such termination of Continuous
      Service is due to your death, or if you die within the period in which this
      Option would otherwise be exercisable following the termination date, this
      Option shall terminate to the extent not exercised on the earlier of the
      Expiration Date or the date that is eighteen (18) months following the date
      of your death.

     

    4.    (a)  You
      may exercise this Option, to the extent specified above, by delivering a
      notice of exercise (in a form designated by the Company) together with the
      exercise price to the Secretary of the Company, or to such other person as
      the
      Company may designate, during regular business hours, together with such
      additional documents as the Company may then require pursuant to the Plan.
      You
      may exercise this Option only for whole shares.

     

    (b)  You
      may elect to pay the exercise price under one of the following
      alternatives:

     

    (i)            Payment
      in cash or check at the time of exercise;

     

    (ii)            Payment
      pursuant to a program developed under Regulation T as promulgated by the Federal
      Reserve Board that, prior to the issuance of Common Stock subject to this
      Option, results in either  the receipt of cash (or check) by the
      Company or the receipt of irrevocable instructions issued by you to pay the
      aggregate exercise price to the Company from the sales proceeds;

     

    (iii)            Provided
      that at the time of exercise the Company's Common Stock is publicly traded
      and
      quoted regularly in the Wall Street Journal, payment by delivery of
      already-owned shares of Common Stock, held for the period required at the time
      of exercise by the Company, and owned free and clear of any liens, claims,
      encumbrances or security interests, which Common Stock shall be valued at its
      Fair Market Value on the date of exercise; or

    

    (iv)     Payment
      by a
      combination of the methods of payment specified in subparagraphs (i) through
      (iii) above.

     

     

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    (c)  By
      accepting this Option, you agree that the Company may require you to enter
      an
      arrangement providing for the cash payment by you to the Company of any
      tax-withholding obligation of the Company relating to this Option, including
      any
      such obligation arising by reason of the vesting or exercise of this Option.
      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, you may not exercise
      this Option unless the shares issuable upon exercise of this Option are then
      registered under the Securities Act of 1933, or, if such shares are not then
      so
      registered, the Company has determined that such exercise and issuance would
      be
      exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities
      Act. 

     

    5.  This
      Option is not transferable except (i) by will or by the laws of descent and
      distribution; or (ii) pursuant to a domestic relations order.  You may
      deliver written notice to the Company, in a form satisfactory to the Company,
      pursuant to which you designate a third party who, in the event of your death,
      shall have the right to exercise the Option on the terms set forth in this
      document.  During your life, this Option is exercisable only by you or
      a transferee satisfying the conditions of this Section 5.  The terms
      of this Option shall be binding upon the transferees, executors, administrators,
      heirs, successors, and assigns of the Grantee.  The right of a
      transferee to exercise the transferred portion of this Option shall terminate
      in
      accordance with your right of exercise under Section 3 of this
      Option.

     

    6.  The
      term of this Option (“Expiration Date”) is six (6) years measured from the date
      of grant, subject, however, to earlier termination upon your termination of
      Continuous Service, as set forth herein and in the Plan.

     

    7.  Any
      notices provided for in this Option or the Plan shall be given in writing and
      shall be deemed effectively given upon receipt or, in the case of notices
      delivered by the Company to you, five (5) days after deposit in the United
      States mail, postage prepaid, addressed to you at the address most recently
      on
      file with the Company.

     

    8.  This
      Option is subject to all the provisions of the Plan, a copy of which is
      available at the Website, and its provisions are hereby made a part of this
      Option, including without limitation the provisions of Section 5 of the Plan,
      and is further subject to all interpretations, amendments, rules and regulations
      which may from time to time be promulgated and adopted pursuant to the Plan.
      In
      the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Option and those of
      the
      Plan, the provisions of the Plan shall control.  This Terms and
      Conditions of Stock Option sets forth the entire understanding between you
      and
      the Company regarding the acquisition of stock in the Company and supersedes
      all
      prior oral and written agreements on that subject with the exception of options
      previously granted and delivered to you under the Plan (including the Prior
      Plans).

     

     

    IN
      WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereunto set their hands as of the date
      the Certificate is accepted on the Website.

          NONSTATUTORY
          STOCK OPTION

         

      

      TERMS
        and CONDITIONS of STOCK OPTION

       

      This
        document sets forth the terms of an Option (the “Option”) granted by NVIDIA
        Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), pursuant to its 2007 Equity
        Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). The Option is evidenced by a Certificate of Stock
        Option Grant (“Certificate”) displayed on the website of the third party stock
        administration provider used by the Company (the “Website”). The Certificate is
        hereby incorporated herein by reference, including without limitation the
        information in the Certificate that specifies the person to whom the Option
        is
        granted (“you” or “Grantee”), the specific details of the Option, and your
        automatic electronic acceptance of the Certificate at the
        Website.  Defined terms not explicitly defined in this Terms and
        Conditions of Stock Option but defined in the Plan shall have the same
        definitions as in the Plan.

       

      The
        details of your Option are as follows:

       

      1.  The
        total number of shares of Common Stock subject to this Option are set forth
        in
        the Certificate. This Option is not intended to qualify and will
not be treated as an “incentive stock option” within the meaning of
        Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
        "Code").

       

      2.  The
        exercise price of this Option is set forth on the Certificate and is equal
        to
        the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the date of grant of this
        Option.

       

      3.  
        Subject to the limitations contained herein this Option shall vest and be
        exercisable as follows:

       

      (a)  The
        Option will vest and become exercisable with respect to each installment
        set
        forth in the Certificate as of the date of vesting applicable to such
        installment as set forth in the Certificate.

       

      (b)  If
        your Continuous Service terminates at any time as a result of your death,
        this
        Option shall become immediately fully vested and exercisable.

      

      (c)  Except
        as otherwise expressly provided in the Plan (including Section 5(g) of the
        Plan), if your Continuous Service terminates for any reason or for no reason,
        this Option shall be exercisable only to the extent vested on such termination
        date, and shall terminate to the extent not exercised on the earlier of the
        Expiration Date (as defined below) or the date that is ninety (90) days
        following the date of termination; provided, however, that if such
        termination of Continuous Service is due to your Disability, this Option
        shall
        terminate to the extent not exercised on the earlier of the Expiration Date
        or
        the date that is twelve (12) months following the date of termination;
provided, further, however, that if such termination of Continuous
        Service is due to your death, or if you die within the period in which this
        Option would otherwise be exercisable following the termination date, this
        Option shall terminate to the extent not exercised on the earlier of the
        Expiration Date or the date that is eighteen (18) months following the date
        of your death.

       

      4.    (a)  You
        may exercise this Option, to the extent specified above, by delivering a
        notice of exercise (in a form designated by the Company) together with the
        exercise price to the Secretary of the Company, or to such other person as
        the
        Company may designate, during regular business hours, together with such
        additional documents as the Company may then require pursuant to the Plan.
        You
        may exercise this Option only for whole shares.

       

      (b)  You
        may elect to pay the exercise price under one of the following
        alternatives:

       

      (i)            Payment
        in cash or check at the time of exercise;

       

      (ii)            Payment
        pursuant to a program developed under Regulation T as promulgated by the
        Federal
        Reserve Board that, prior to the issuance of Common Stock subject to this
        Option, results in either the receipt of cash (or check) by the Company or
        the
        receipt of irrevocable instructions issued by you to pay the aggregate exercise
        price to the Company from the sales proceeds;

       

      (iii)            Provided
        that at the time of exercise the Company's Common Stock is publicly traded
        and
        quoted regularly in the Wall Street Journal, payment by delivery of
        already-owned shares of Common Stock, held for the period required at the
        time
        of exercise by the Company, and owned free and clear of any liens, claims,
        encumbrances or security interests, which Common Stock shall be valued at
        its
        Fair Market Value on the date of exercise; or

      

      (iv)           Payment
        by a combination of the methods of payment specified in subparagraphs (i)
        through (iii) above.

       

       

      
        
          
          

        

        
          
          

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

       

      (c)  By
        accepting this Option, you agree that the Company may require you to enter
        an
        arrangement providing for the cash payment by you to the Company of any
        tax-withholding obligation of the Company relating to this Option, including
        any
        such obligation arising by reason of the vesting or exercise of this Option.
        Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, you may not exercise
        this Option unless the shares issuable upon exercise of this Option are then
        registered under the Securities Act of 1933, or, if such shares are not then
        so
        registered, the Company has determined that such exercise and issuance would
        be
        exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities
        Act. 

       

      5.  This
        Option is not transferable except (i) by will or by the laws of descent and
        distribution; or (ii) pursuant to a domestic relations order.  You may
        deliver written notice to the Company, in a form satisfactory to the Company,
        pursuant to which you designate a third party who, in the event of your
        death.  During your life, this Option is exercisable only by you or a
        transferee satisfying the conditions of this Section 5.  The terms of
        this Option shall be binding upon the transferees, executors, administrators,
        heirs, successors, and assigns of the Grantee.  The right of a
        transferee to exercise the transferred portion of this Option shall terminate
        in
        accordance with your right of exercise under Section 3 of this
        Option.

       

      6.  The
        term of this Option (“Expiration Date”) is six (6) years measured from the date
        of grant, subject, however, to earlier termination upon your termination
        of
        Continuous Service, as set forth herein and in the Plan.

       

      7.  Any
        notices provided for in this Option or the Plan shall be given in writing
        and
        shall be deemed effectively given upon receipt or, in the case of notices
        delivered by the Company to you, five (5) days after deposit in the United
        States mail, postage prepaid, addressed to you at the address most recently
        on
        file with the Company.

       

      8.             Nothing
        herein confers upon you any right to continue to serve the Company or an
        Affiliate in any capacity or interferes with the right of the Company or
        an
        Affiliate to terminate your service with or without cause and with or without
        notice.

      

      9.  This
        Option is subject to all the provisions of the Plan, a copy of which is
        available at the Website, and its provisions are hereby made a part of this
        Option, including without limitation the provisions of Section 5 of the Plan,
        and is further subject to all interpretations, amendments, rules and regulations
        which may from time to time be promulgated and adopted pursuant to the Plan.
        In
        the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Option and those
        of the
        Plan, the provisions of the Plan shall control.  This Terms and
        Conditions of Stock Option sets forth the entire understanding between you
        and
        the Company regarding the acquisition of stock in the Company and supersedes
        all
        prior oral and written agreements on that subject with the exception of options
        previously granted and delivered to you under the Plan (including the Prior
        Plans).

       

       

      IN
        WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereunto set their hands as of the date
        the Certificate is accepted on the Website.
