INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT UNDER THE TRACTOR SUPPLY COMPANY 2000 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT, dated as of ___ ___, between TRACTOR SUPPLY COMPANY, a Delaware corporation (the -- "Company"), and ____________ (the "Optionee"). The Company's Stock Option Committee has determined that the objectives of the Company's 2000 Stock Incentive Plan (the "Plan") will be furthered by granting to the Optionee an option pursuant to the Plan. In consideration of the foregoing and of the mutual undertakings set forth in this Stock Option Agreement (the "Agreement"), the Company and the Optionee hereby agree as follows: SECTION 1. GRANT OF OPTION. The Company hereby grants to the Optionee a stock option to purchase _______ shares of the Common Stock of the Company, at a purchase price of _______ per share, which option is intended to qualify for the special incentive stock option tax treatment described in Code section 422. The Company cannot guarantee that the special tax treatment will apply. For example, if the Optionee sells the Common Stock acquired pursuant to the exercise of this option either within two years after the date of this Agreement or within one year after the date this option (or part thereof) is exercised, this special tax treatment will not apply. If the option (or any part thereof) does not qualify for incentive stock option treatment for any reason, then, to the extent of such nonqualification, the option (or portion thereof) shall be treated as a nonqualified stock option granted under the Plan, provided that the option (or portion thereof) otherwise satisfies the terms and conditions of the Plan generally relating to nonqualified stock options. SECTION 2. EXERCISABILITY. Subject to Section 4 hereof and Section 2.7 of the Plan, the option shall be exercisable as follows:
% of Shares Becoming Exercisable ----------33.3% 33.3% 33.4% Cumulative % of Shares Exercisable ----------33.3% 66.6% 100.0%
On and After -----------VEST 1 DATE VEST 2 DATE through VEST3 DATE
The option shall not be exercisable prior to the first anniversary of the date of grant, and shall become cumulatively exercisable with respect to 33.3% of the shares of Common Stock subject thereto, rounded down to the next lower full share, on the first anniversary of the date of grant, and with respect to an additional 33.3% of the shares of Common Stock subject thereto, rounded Page 1 of 6
Page 8 of 16
down to the next lower full share, on the second anniversary of the date of grant, and shall become 100% exercisable on the third anniversary of the date of grant, and shall remain 100% exercisable until the day prior to DATE4 and shall terminate and cease to be exercisable on DATE4. SECTION 3. METHOD OF OPTION EXERCISE; INVOLUNTARY OPTION CASH-OUT. (a) The option or any part thereof may be exercised only by giving to the Company written notice of exercise in the form attached hereto as EXHIBIT A. The Optionee shall exercise any options through the Company sponsored exercise program. The Optionee shall have no right to receive shares of Common Stock with respect to an option exercise, prior to the option exercise date. For purposes of this Agreement, the option exercise date shall be deemed to be the sixth business day immediately following the date written notice of exercise is received by the Company. (b) At any time after the Company's receipt of written notice of exercise and prior to the option exercise date, the Committee, in its sole discretion, shall have the right, by written notice to the Optionee, to cancel the option or any part thereof subject to the written notice of exercise if the Committee, in its sole judgment, determines that legal or contractual restrictions and/or blockage and/or other market considerations would make the Company's acquisition of Common Stock from, and/or the Optionee's sale of Common Stock to, the public markets illegal, impracticable or inadvisable if the Committee determines to so cancel the option or any part thereof subject to the written notice of exercise, the Company shall pay to the Optionee an amount equal to the excess (if any) of (i) the aggregate fair market value of the shares of Common Stock subject to the option or part thereof cancelled (determined as of the option exercise date) over (ii) the aggregate option exercise price of the shares of Common Stock subject to the option or part thereof cancelled. Such amount shall be delivered to the Optionee as soon as practicable after such option or part thereof is cancelled. SECTION 4. TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT. (a) GENERAL RULE. The non-vested portion of any option shall terminate and expire upon the Optionee's termination of employment for any reason (including death); the vested portion shall remain exercisable following termination of employment only under the circumstances and to the extent provided in Section 2.7 of the Plan and this Section 4. (b) IMPROPER ACTIVITY; QUIT. If the Optionee's employment is terminated for cause or if the Optionee quits employment, whether or not the Optionee is a party to a written employment contract, the option granted hereunder shall terminate and expire on the day the Optionee's employment terminates. For purposes of this Section 4 and Section 2.7 of the Plan, an Optionee's employment shall be deemed to have been terminated for "cause" if he is discharged on account of fraud or embezzlement or other unlawful or tortuous conduct, whether or not involving or against the Company or any Affiliate, or for violation of a policy of the Company or any Affiliate or for serious and willful acts of misconduct detrimental to the business or reputation of the Company or any Affiliate (whether or not such acts constitute "cause" pursuant to any written employment contract with the Optionee) or if he is discharged for "cause" or any like term as defined in any written employment contract with the Optionee. Page 2 of 6
Page 9 of 16
(c) REGULAR TERMINATION; LEAVES OF ABSENCE. If the Optionee's employment terminates for reasons other than as provided in subsection (b) above or subsection (d) below, the vested portion of the option granted hereunder may be exercised until the earlier of (i) three months after the day his employment terminates and (ii) the date on which the option otherwise terminates or expires in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Plan and this Agreement (disregarding this Section 4 and Section 2.7 of the Plan); PROVIDED that the Committee may determine, in its sole discretion, such longer or shorter period for exercise in the case of an individual whose employment terminates solely because his employer ceases to be an Affiliate or he transfers his employment with the Company's consent to a purchaser of a business disposed of by the Company. The Committee may, in its discretion, determine (A) whether any leave of absence (including short-term or longterm disability or medical leave) constitutes a termination of employment within the meaning of the Plan and (B) the impact, if any, of any such leave on awards under the Plan theretofore made to an Optionee who takes any such leave. (d) DEATH. In the event that the optionee's employment terminates by reason of death, or if the Optionee's employment shall terminate as described in subsection (c) above and he dies within the period for exercise provided for therein, the vested portion of the option shall be exercisable by the person to whom the option has passed under the Optionee's will (or if applicable, pursuant to the laws of descent and distribution) until the earlier of (i) one year after the Optionee's death and (ii) the date on which the option otherwise terminates or expires in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Plan and this Agreement (disregarding this Section 4 and Section 2.7 of the Plan). (e) RIGHT OF DISCHARGE RESERVED. Nothing in the Plan or this Agreement shall confer upon the Optionee or any other person the right to continue in the employment of the Company or any Affiliate or affect any right which the Company or any Affiliate may have to terminate the employment of the Optionee or any other person. SECTION 5. WITHHOLDING TAX REQUIREMENTS. If as a condition of delivery of shares of Common Stock upon the Optionee's exercise of an option granted hereunder the Committee determines that it is necessary or advisable to withhold an amount sufficient to satisfy any federal, state and other governmental withholding tax requirements related thereto, then the Optionee shall be required to satisfy all withholding tax requirements related to such option in accordance with Section 3.4 of the Plan. By entering into this Agreement, the Optionee hereby agrees that, if the Committee shall make such determination, then (a) the Optionee shall remit the full amount necessary to satisfy such withholding tax requirements within 15 days after his receipt of a statement for such amount from the Committee (unless and to the extent that the Committee permits the Optionee to use the method of payment described in Section 3.4(b) of the Plan), and (b) the Company shall be entitled to withhold the amount of any such tax requirements from any salary or other payments due to the Optionee, and to refuse to recognize such option exercise until full satisfaction of such withholding tax requirements. The Optionee further agrees and acknowledges that all other taxes, duties and fees related to such option exercise are for the Optionee's own account and must be paid directly by the Optionee.

Any term defined in the Plan shall have the same meaning in this Agreement as in the Plan. In the event there is any inconsistency between the provisions of this Agreement and the Plan, the provisions of the Plan shall govern. SECTION 7. OPTIONEE'S ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. By entering into this Agreement the Optionee agrees and acknowledges that (a) he has received and read a copy of the Plan, including, without limitation, Section 3.8(c) thereof (generally relating to waivers of claims to continued exercise or vesting of awards, damages and severance entitlements related to non-continuation of awards), and accepts this option upon all of the terms thereof, and (b) no member of the Committee shall be liable for any action or determination made in good faith with respect to the Plan or this Agreement or any award thereunder or hereunder. SECTION 8. NONTRANSFERABILITY. No right granted to the Optionee under the Plan or this Agreement shall be assignable or transferable by the Optionee (whether by operation of law or otherwise and whether voluntarily or involuntarily), other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. During the lifetime of the Optionee, all rights granted to the Optionee under the Plan or under this Agreement shall be exercisable only by the Optionee. SECTION 9. EXECUTION OF AGREEMENT.
