VERIGY LTD. 2006 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN
SHARE OPTION AGREEMENT

For Awardees located outside the United States

Tax Treatment	This option is intended to be a nonstatutory stock option.
Vesting	This option becomes exercisable in installments, during the Option term as shown in the Notice of Share Option Grant, as long as you remain an Awardee Eligible to Vest (as defined in the Plan). In addition, this option is subject to certain vesting acceleration provisions set forth in the Plan in the event your Service terminates because of retirement, total and permanent disability, or death.
	This option will in no event become exercisable for additional shares after your Service has terminated for any reason, except as otherwise provided in the Plan and this Share Option Agreement.
Term	This option expires in any event at the close of business at Company headquarters on the day before the 7th anniversary of the Date of Grant, as shown in the Award Summary. (It may expire earlier if your Service terminates, as described below.)
Regular Termination	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 retirement policy, then this option will expire at the close of business at Company headquarters on the date three months after your termination date, or, if earlier, the expiration of the term of this option. The Company determines when your Service terminates for this purpose.
Termination as a result of Death, Disability or Retirement	If you die before your Service terminates, or if your Service terminates because of your total and permanent disability, or in connection with your retirement due to age, then (i) the vested portion of this option will be determined by adding 12 months to your length of service and (ii) you will be entitled to exercise this option until the close of business at Company headquarters on the one year anniversary of the date of

	death, disability or retirement, or, if earlier, until the expiration of the term of this option, as provided in the Plan. For all purposes under this Agreement, “total and permanent disability” means that you are unable to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which can be expected to result in death or which has lasted, or can be expected to last, for a continuous period of not less than one year.
Leaves of Absence and Part-Time Work	For purposes of this option, your Service does not terminate when you go on a military leave, a sick leave or another Company approved leave of absence, and if continued crediting of Service is required by the terms of the leave or by applicable law. But your Service terminates when the approved leave ends, unless you immediately return to active work.
	Your status as an Awardee Eligible to Vest (as defined in the Plan) will always cease upon termination of employment with the Company or a Subsidiary or Affiliate except as provided in Article 5 of the Plan.
	If you commence working on a part-time basis, then the vesting schedule specified in the Notice of Share Option Grant may be adjusted in accordance with the Company’s part-time work policy or the terms of an agreement between you and the Company pertaining to your part-time schedule.
Restrictions on Exercise	The Company will not permit you to exercise this option if the issuance of shares at that time would violate any law or regulation.
Notice of Exercise	You may exercise this option from time to time for any number of shares for which the option is then exercisable, by notice in writing, electronically or by other means to, and as prescribed by, the Company’s equity incentive administration service provider (the “administration service provider”). Your exercise notice will be effective and irrevocable at such time as your notice, method of payment (whether by cash, check, proceeds from the immediate sale of the option shares, or as otherwise provided in the Plan) and such other

	documentation as the administration service provider may require have been received by the administration service provider. You hereby direct the Company to deposit any shares issued upon exercise of the option in your Smith Barney account.
	If someone else wants to exercise this option after your death, that person must prove to the Company’s satisfaction that he or she is entitled to do so.
Form of Payment	When you exercise this option, you must provide for payment of the option exercise price for the shares that you are purchasing. To the extent permitted by applicable law, payment may be made in one (or a combination of two or more) of the forms set forth in Sections 5.7 (a), (c) and (d) of the Plan.
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	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.
Retention Rights	Your option or this Share Option 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.
