                          STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT TERMS
                           UNDER THE PERCEPTRON, INC.
                    1998 GLOBAL TEAM MEMBER STOCK OPTION PLAN

      THESE STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT TERMS pertain to stock options granted
effective January 2, 2006, under the 1998 Global Team Member Stock Option 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 "Company"), and the employee named in the Notice who is
currently employed by the Company or one of its subsidiaries (the "Optionee"). A
copy of the 1998 Global Employee Stock Option Plan is not attached hereto but is
available upon written request made to the Secretary of the Company.

      1. GRANT OF OPTION. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the
Company hereby grants to the Optionee an option to purchase from the Company up
to, but not exceeding in the aggregate, the number of shares of the Company's
Common Stock detailed in the accompanying Notice at the price per share
designated in the Notice. This option is not intended to constitute an
"incentive stock option" with 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 Company on and after the first (1st) 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 (4th) anniversary of the
date of grant this option shall be fully exercisable. 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 (10th) anniversary of the date of grant.

      3. TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT. If, prior to the date on which this option
first shall become exercisable, the Optionee's employment with the Company or
any of its subsidiaries is 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 Company means any
"subsidiary corporation" as defined in Section 424(f) of the Code, the term
"employment" means employment with the Company or any subsidiary of the Company,
and the term "disability" means "total and permanent disability," as defined in
Section 22(e) of the Code.

      If, on or after the date on which this option first shall become
exercisable, the Optionee's employment is terminated for any reason other than
death or disability, the Optionee shall have the right to exercise this option,
to the extent that it was exercisable and unexercised on the date of the
Optionee's termination of employment, 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 on the date of exercise.

      If, on or after the date on which this option first shall become
exercisable, the Optionee's employment is terminated due to the Optionee's death
or disability, the Optionee, the executor or the administrator of the estate of
the Optionee, or the person(s) to whom the option has been transferred

<PAGE>

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 the option was exercisable and unexercised on
the date of the Optionee's death or disability, subject to any other limitation
on the exercise of such option in effect on the date of exercise.

      For purposes of this Agreement, the transfer of an Optionee to/from the
Company to/from any of its subsidiaries, shall not constitute a termination of
employment. In addition, a leave of absence by an Optionee shall not constitute
a termination of employment, provided the Optionee obtains the prior written
consent of the Company for such leave of absence.

      4. CHANGE IN CONTROL. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2 "Right
to Exercise Option" and Section 3 "Termination of Employment" of this Agreement,
in the event of a Change in Control, any portion of this option that is then not
exercisable shall become immediately exercisable. 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 the assets of the Corporation; or (iv) any person or group
of persons (as defined by Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended) (other than any employee benefit plan or employee benefit trust
benefiting the employees of the Corporation) becoming a beneficial owner,
directly or indirectly, of securities of the Corporation representing more than
fifty (50%) percent of either the then outstanding Common Stock of the
Corporation, or the combined voting power of the Corporation's then outstanding
voting securities.

      In the event of a Change of Control, the Company's Management Development,
Compensation and Stock Option Committee, or such other committee as determined
by the Board of Directors (the "Committee") may, in its sole discretion and
without the consent of the Optionee, cancel this option in exchange for a
payment with respect to each vested share of Common Stock as provided in Section
9 of the Plan.

      5. EXERCISE OF OPTION.

      (a) At any time during which this option may be exercised as provided in
this Agreement, the Optionee may exercise any portion of this option which is
then exercisable, in whole or in part, by delivering a written notice to the
Company, in the form attached hereto, signed by the Optionee.

      (b) In addition, the Optionee shall deliver, on the date of exercise:

            (i) cash, personal check, bank draft or money order equal t
