STANDARD INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION FORM AGREEMENT

(VERSION 11/06 FORM S.C.)

UNDER THE ANHEUSER-XXXXX COMPANIES, INC.

1998 INCENTIVE STOCK PLAN

This Standard Incentive Stock Option Form Agreement (Version 11/06, Form S.C.) (the "Standard ISO Form"), and the Incentive Stock Option (Form S.C.) Cover Sheet (the "Cover Sheet") which specifically incorporates this Standard ISO Form by reference, together constitute a single Incentive Stock Option Agreement (this “ISO Agreement" or this "Agreement") under the Anheuser-Xxxxx Companies, Inc. 1998 Incentive Stock Plan (the "Plan"). This ISO Agreement is between Anheuser-Xxxxx Companies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and the person designated on the Cover Sheet under the caption "Granted To" (the "Optionee"). The parties agree as follows:

Section 1. GRANT. In conformity with the Plan, the provisions of which are incorporated herein by this reference, and pursuant to action by the Compensation Committee which administers the Plan (the "Committee"), the Company hereby irrevocably grants to the Optionee Incentive Stock Options (the "Options"), which are "incentive stock options" under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 ("Code"), as amended, to purchase all or any part of the number of shares of common stock of the Company ("Stock") equal to the number set forth on the Cover Sheet under the caption "Number of Options", on the terms and conditions herein set forth. The grant hereunder is made as of the Grant Date set forth on the Cover Sheet (the "Grant Date").

Section 2. OPTION PRICE. The purchase price per share of the Stock covered by the Options (the "Option Price") shall be the price specified on the Cover Sheet under the caption "Option Price $ Per Share".

Section 3. EXERCISABILITY.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Optionee shall have the right to exercise one-third of the Options on and after the first anniversary of the Grant Date, the next one-third of the Options on and after the second anniversary of the Grant Date, and the remaining one-third on and after the third anniversary of the Grant Date.

(b) Optionee shall not exercise and shall forfeit any of the Options which are not exercisable on the date Optionee ceases to be employed by any of the Company, a Subsidiary, or an Affiliate, unless such Options otherwise become exercisable as provided herein.

(c) All outstanding Options shall become immediately exercisable:

(i) on the date of the Optionee’s Retirement or Disability;

(ii) on the date of Optionee’s death while employed by Company;

(iii) on the occurrence of an Acceleration Date; or

(iv) as contemplated in Section 3(h).

2

(d) Optionee (or Optionee’s guardian or legal representative in the case of Section 3(d)(iv)) may exercise any or all exercisable Options through the Expiration Date set forth on the Cover Sheet (the “Expiration Date”) if:

(i)  the Optionee remains an employee of the Company or any Subsidiary or an Affiliate through the Expiration Date;

(ii) the Optionee voluntarily terminates his or her employment due to Retirement;

(iii) the Optionee’s employment is involuntarily terminated by any of the Company, a Subsidiary, or an Affiliate because of a sale of a Subsidiary or Interest in an Affiliate, or a sale of assets of any business operation owned by the Company, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate, or because of a liquidation, shutdown, spin-off, distribution, reorganization, reduction in force, lay-off or similar event and the Optionee is not contemporaneously hired by another of the Company, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate; or

(iv) the Optionee’s employment is terminated as a result of a Disability.

(e) If Optionee voluntarily terminates his or her employment other than due to Retirement, Optionee may exercise any or all Options that are exercisable on the date of such termination through the earlier of the Expiration Date or the period ending three (3) months following the date of such termination.

(f) If Optionee dies prior to the Expiration Date (whether or not Optionee is then employed by the Company, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate), all Options the Optionee (or Optionee’s guardian or legal representative in the case of Section 3(d)(iv)) had the right to exercise at the date of death (including all Options that become exercisable at the date of death pursuant to Section 3(c)(ii) hereof) may be exercised by Optionee’s “Post Death Representatives” (as defined in Section 5(a) hereof) but only until the earlier to occur of the Expiration Date or the date three (3) years after the date of death, and shall not be exercised thereafter.

(g) Optionee shall forfeit all Options, regardless of whether or not exercisable, if such Optionee’s employment is terminated for cause or for any other reason not set forth in Section 3(d)(ii), (iii), (iv), (e) or (f).

(h) The Committee may accelerate the dates on which the Options become exercisable at any time and for any reason.

(i) The exercisability of the Options shall not be affected by any change of duties or position of Optionee, including an Employer-authorized special assignment, so long as Optionee continues to be an employee of at least one of the Company, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate.

(j) An Optionee who is as of the Grant Date on, or following the Grant Date commences, an Employer-authorized leave of absence for any reason (a “Leave of Absence”) shall be deemed to remain employed by the Employer for purposes of this Option grant unless (i) the Leave of Absence extends beyond the second anniversary (the “Leave of Absence Expiration Date”) of the date on which the Leave of Absence commenced, and (ii) the Leave of Absence Expiration Date occurs prior to the Expiration Date, in which event the Optionee will be deemed to have terminated his or her employment with the effect set forth in Section 3(e) on and as of the Leave of Absence Expiration Date.

3

Section 4. TERMINATION. The Options shall terminate and cease to be exercisable in accordance with the following provisions:

(a) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, the Options shall terminate at the close of business on the Expiration Date, unless sooner terminated as provided below.

(b) The Options shall terminate when they no longer may be exercised pursuant to Section 3, if sooner than the Expiration Date.

Section 5. EXERCISES.

(a) Optionee may exercise some or all of the Options, to the extent exercisable, by paying the Option Price of the Options exercised and taking all other required actions in accordance with Section 5(b). The Options may be exercised only by Optionee or his or her guardian or legal representative during his or her lifetime, and only by Optionee’s Post-Death Representatives after Optionee’s death. The term "Post-Death Representatives" means the executor or administrator of Optionee's estate or the person or persons to whom Optionee's rights under this Agreement shall pass by his or her will or the laws of descent and distribution.

(b) Any exercise of the Options shall be made only in accordance with those procedures required or expressly permitted by the Secretary at the time of the exercise. Exercise procedures may be changed by the Secretary during the term of the Options. The Secretary's exercise procedures may impose restrictions and requirements concerning payment of the Option Price, payment of taxes, issuance and delivery of Stock, communications between the Company (or its agents) and the Optionee, the effectiveness and effective date of the exercise, and all other matters pertaining to the exercise. Optionee may request from the Secretary's office at any time a summary of those exercise procedures which then are in effect; it is Optionee's responsibility to ascertain and follow those exercise procedures in effect at the time of each exercise. Any deviation from the Secretary's procedures permitted in one exercise shall not entitle the Optionee to utilize or rely upon that deviation in a later exercise.

Section 6. WITHHOLDING TAXES. If and when Optionee's Employer becomes required to collect Required Withholding Taxes, the Optionee shall promptly pay to the Company or Employer (as required by the Committee or the Company at the time) the amount of such Required Withholding Taxes in cash. If at the time of exercise the Options have for any reason become Non-Qualified Stock Options, cash payment shall not be required if Optionee makes a Tax Election in accordance with the following terms and conditions:

(a) General Rules for Tax Elections. Optionee may make an election (a "Tax Election") to have the Company withhold from the shares of Stock payable to Optionee that number of shares determined in accordance with paragraph (b) below. Optionee may make a Tax Election only at the time of an exercise; such Election may relate only to such exercise. Each Tax Election shall be governed by the rules of the Committee or Secretary as in effect at the time of the Election. If a Tax Election is duly made, the Company will make a cash payment to the appropriate taxing authorities equal to the aggregate value on the exercise date of all shares of Stock withheld, even if (as a result of rounding) the amount paid exceeds the amount of Required Withholding Taxes. For purposes of this Section 6, the value of Stock on the exercise date may be determined in any manner approved by the Committee or Secretary at that time and need not be based on "Fair Market Value" as defined in the Plan. Moreover the Secretary shall establish rounding and all other administrative rules from time to time, which shall govern all Tax Elections.

4

(b) Number of Shares Withheld. The number of shares of Stock to be withheld with respect to an exercise as to which a Tax Election is duly made will be determined by dividing the amount of Required Withholding Taxes related to the exercise by the value of a share of Stock on the exercise date.

Section 7. ADJUSTMENTS. In the event of (a) any change in the outstanding shares of Stock by reason of any stock split, combination of shares, stock dividend, reorganization, merger, consolidation, or other corporate change having a similar effect, (b) any separation of the Company including a spin-off or other distribution of stock or property by the Company, or (c) any distribution to stockholders generally other than a normal dividend, the Committee shall make such equitable adjustment to the Options (to the extent then outstanding) as it shall deem appropriate in order to prevent the dilution or enlargement of (i) the shares of Stock which may be issued pursuant to the Options or (ii) the economic value of the Options, subject to the limitations and requirements of the Plan from time to time. Any such determination by the Committee shall be conclusive and binding on all concerned.

Section 8. COMPLIANCE WITH SECURITIES LAWS, ETC. In its discretion, the Company may place legends upon any Stock certificates issued hereunder, and otherwise may restrict Optionee's ability to transfer such Stock, if and to the extent necessary to comply with, or facilitate the Company's compliance with, federal or state securities laws or any regulations or rules thereunder, or the requirements of the New York Stock Exchange or other exchange upon which the Stock is listed or approved for listing. The provisions of this Section shall terminate upon the occurrence of an Acceleration Date described in Section 3(c) above.

Section 9. LIMITATION ON RIGHTS IN COMPANY STOCK. Neither Optionee nor his or her executor or administrator, legatees or distributees, as the case may be, shall have any of the rights of a shareholder with respect to shares of Stock covered by the Options until shares of Stock are issued to him, her or them upon exercise of the Options.

Section 10. LIMITATIONS ON TRANSFERS. The Options shall not be transferable by Optionee otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. If, at the time of exercise, the Options continue to be Incentive Stock Options, the certificate representing the shares of Stock issued upon exercise of the Options shall not be issued in the name of a nominee for the Optionee, and may be legended, as required by the Company, to prevent transfer into the name of a nominee; provided, however, that the restrictions stated in the legend shall terminate no later than the expiration of the restrictions on disposition of such shares specified in Section 422(a)(1) of the Code.

Section 11. NO RIGHT TO EMPLOYMENT. Nothing in this Agreement or the Plan shall confer on the Optionee any right or expectation to continue in the employ of his or her Employer or the Company, or to interfere in any manner with the absolute right of the Employer or the Company to change or terminate the Optionee's employment at any time for any reason or no reason.

If and as long as Optionee is a Reporting Person, he or she shall not act with respect to the Options in a manner which, in the Company's or Committee's judgment, would contravene any requirement of Rule 16b-3 as in effect at the time of such action, except with the written consent of the Company or the Committee.

Optionee and the Company acknowledge and agree that any and all disputes relating to or arising out of this Agreement shall be resolved through binding arbitration under the procedures specified by the Company's Dispute Resolution Program (DRP). The results of said arbitration shall be final and binding on both Optionee and the Company. Each party may enforce this Section. Each party hereto irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any and all rights to a jury trial.

Section 20. ENFORCEABILITY; MODIFICATION; CONFORMITY WITH LOCAL LAWS. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Company and Optionee agree that: (a) if for any reason any provision of this Agreement is determined to be legally invalid or unenforceable, the validity of the remainder of the Agreement will not be affected and such provision will be deemed modified to the minimum extent necessary to make such provision consistent with applicable law and, in its modified form, such provision will then be enforceable and enforced, (b) to the extent the laws of the country or province (other than the United States or its states) of which Optionee is a citizen or resident ("Local Laws") require this Agreement to contain a provision, whether it be a covenant, restriction, prohibition, or otherwise, that provision shall be deemed included in this Agreement; and (c) the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed changed to the extent necessary to ensure compliance by the Company and Optionee with all Local Laws governing taxation.
