                INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT TERMS - OFFICER

              UNDER THE PERCEPTRON, INC. 2004 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN

 

         THESE STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT TERMS pertain to stock options granted

effective ________________ under the 2004 Stock Incentive Plan (the "Plan") as

detailed in the accompanying Notice of Grant of Stock Options and Option

Agreement (the "Notice) between Perceptron, Inc., a Michigan corporation ("the

Corporation"), and the employee named in the Notice who is currently employed by

the Corporation or one of its subsidiaries (the "Optionee"). A copy of the 2004

Stock Incentive Plan is not attached hereto but is available upon written

request made to the Secretary of the Corporation.

 

1.        GRANT OF OPTION. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the

         Corporation hereby grants to the Optionee an option to purchase from

         the Corporation up to, but not exceeding in the aggregate, the number

         of shares of the Corporation's Common Stock detailed in the

         accompanying Notice at the price per share designated in the Notice.

          This option is intended to constitute an "incentive stock option"

         within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code

         ("Code").

 

2.        RIGHT TO EXERCISE OPTION. Unless otherwise indicated in the Notice, the

         Optionee may purchase from the Corporation on and after the first

         anniversary of the date of grant, 25% of the shares covered by this

         option, and on each succeeding one year anniversary thereof may

         exercise an additional 25% of the shares covered by the option, so that

         on the fourth anniversary of the date of grant this option shall be

         fully exercisable. To the extent not exercised, installments shall

         accumulate and the Optionee may exercise them in whole or in part in

         any subsequent period. Unless a shorter period is specified in the

         Notice under the "Expiration" column, and notwithstanding any provision

         of this Agreement, no portion of this option shall be exercisable on or

          after the tenth anniversary of the date of grant. The Committee (as

         defined in the Plan), in its sole discretion, may accelerate the time

         at which this option may be exercised in whole or in part.

 

3.        TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT. If, prior to the date that this option shall

         first become exercisable, the Optionee's employment with the

         Corporation or any of its subsidiaries shall be terminated for any

         reason, the Optionee's right to exercise this option shall terminate

         and all rights hereunder shall cease. As used in this Agreement, the

         term "subsidiary" of the Corporation means any "subsidiary corporation"

         as defined in Section 424(f) of the Code, the term "employment" means

          employment with the Corporation or any subsidiary of the Corporation,

         and the term "disability" means "total and permanent disability," as

         defined in Section 22(e) of the Code.

 

         If, on or after the date that this option shall first become

         exercisable, the Optionee's employment shall be terminated for any

         reason other than death or disability, the Optionee shall have the

         right to exercise this option to the extent that it shall have been

         exercisable and

 

                                       1

<PAGE>

         unexercised on the date of such termination of services, at any time on

         or before the earlier of: (i) the expiration date of the option, or

         (ii) three (3) months after the date of such termination of employment,

         subject to any other limitation on the exercise of such option in

         effect at the date of exercise.

 

         If on or after the date that this option shall first become exercisable

         the Optionee's employment shall be terminated due to death or

         disability, the Optionee or the executor or administrator of the estate

         of the Optionee (as the case may be) or the person or persons to whom

         the option shall have been transferred by will or by the laws of

         descent and distribution, shall have the right to exercise this option,

         at any time on or before the earlier of: (i) the expiration date of the

         option, or (ii) one (1) year from the date of the Optionee's death or

         disability, to the extent that it was exercisable and unexercised on

         the date of the Optionee's death or disability, subject to any other

         limitation on exercise in effect at the date of exercise.

 

         The transfer of the Optionee from one corporation to another among the

         Corporation and any of its subsidiaries, or a leave of absence with the

         written consent of the Corporation, shall not be a termination of

         services for purposes of this option.

 

4.        CHANGE IN CONTROL. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2 "Right

         to Exercise Option" and Section 3 "Termination of Employment" of this

         Agreement, (i) in the event of a termination by the Corporation of the

         Optionee's employment Without Cause (as defined below) or Diminishment

         of the Optionee's Responsibilities Without Cause (as defined below),

         following a Change in Control of the Corporation, or (ii), in the event

         of a Change in Control, if one of the corporations surviving the Change

         in Control or the person purchasing the Corporation's assets in the

         Change in Control does not assume this option, any portion of this

         option that is then not exercisable shall become immediately

         exercisable. For purposes hereof, "Without Cause" shall mean the

         Optionee's employment is terminated by the Corporation, or there is a

         Diminishment of the Optionee's Responsibilities, for any reason except

         (i) personal dishonesty; (ii) willful misconduct; (iii) breach of

         fiduciary duty to the Corporation; (iv) conviction for violation of any

         law (other than traffic violations or similar offenses); or (v)

         repeated or intentional failure to perform duties, after written notice

         is delivered identifying the failure, and it is not cured within ten

         (10) days following receipt of such notice. For purposes hereof,

         "Diminishment of the Optionee's Responsibilities" shall mean the

         Corporation, or any successor thereto, (i) reassigning the Optionee

         substantial duties which are materially inconsistent with the

         Optionee's position, duties and responsibilities with the Corporation

         immediately prior to the Change in Control, except for reassignments of

         duties which constitute a bona fide promotion of the Optionee, or (ii)

         reducing the Optionee's compensation such that (a) the Optionee's

         annual base salary is less than eighty (80%) percent of the Optionee's

         annual base salary prior to the Change in Control; and (b) the

         Optionee's annual base salary and the annual cash bonus which the

         Optionee is eligible to earn (including any performance based bonus),

         combined, is not at least equal to the combination of the Optionee's

         annual base salary prior to the Change in Control and the average of

         the annual cash bonuses which the Optionee was eligible to earn

         (including any performance based bonus, but excluding any bonus payable

         to the Optionee for completing the Change in Control), whether or not

         actually earned, for the year in which

 

                                       2

<PAGE>

         the Change in Control occurred and for the year prior thereto. For

         purposes hereof, a "Change in Control" shall be deemed to have occurred

         in the event of (i) a merger involving the Corporation in which the

         Corporation is not the surviving corporation (other than a merger with

         a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Corporation formed for the purpose of

         changing the Corporation's corporate domicile); (ii) a share exchange

         in which the shareholders of the Corporation exchange their stock in

         the Corporation for stock of another corporation (other than a share

         exchange in which all or substantially all of the holders of the voting

         stock of the Corporation, immediately prior to the transaction,

         exchange, on a pro rata basis, their voting stock of the Corporation

         for more than 50% of the voting stock of such other corporation); (iii)

         the sale of all or substantially all of
