THIS OPTION AGREEMENT is made as of the             day of             , 20            (the “Option Date”), between ARCTIC CAT INC., a Minnesota corporation (the “Company”), and                     , an employee of the Company or one or more of its subsidiaries (the “Optionee”).

WHEREAS, the Company desires, by affording the Optionee an opportunity to purchase shares of its Common Stock, $.01 par value (the “Common Stock”), as hereinafter provided, to carry out the purpose of the 2013 Omnibus Stock and Incentive Plan (the “2013 Stock Plan”) of the Company approved by its shareholders;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants hereinafter set forth and for other good and valuable consideration, the parties hereto have agreed, and do hereby agree, as follows:

1. Grant of Option. The Company hereby grants to the Optionee the right and option (hereinafter called the “Option”) to purchase from the Company all or any part of an aggregate amount of             shares of the Common Stock of the Company on the terms and conditions herein set forth. This grant does not qualify as an incentive stock option under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

2. Purchase Price. The purchase price of the shares of the Common Stock covered by this Option shall be $            per share.

3. Term of Option. The term of the Option shall be for a period of ten (10) years from the Option Date, subject to earlier termination as hereinafter provided. In no event shall the Option be exercisable after the expiration of the term of the Option.

4. Exercise of Option. During the first year the Option is outstanding it may not be exercised with respect to any of the shares covered thereby. Subject to the provisions of paragraphs 6 and 7 hereof, the Option may thereafter be exercised during the term specified in paragraph 3 as follows:

(a) from and after 12 months from the Option Date, the Option may be exercised as to             shares;

(b) from and after 24 months from the Option Date, the Option may be exercised as to an additional             shares;

(c) from and after 36 months from the Option Date, the Option may be exercised as to an additional             shares.

5. Non-Transferability. The Option shall not be transferable otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and the Option may be exercised, during the lifetime of the Optionee, only by the Optionee. More particularly (but without limiting the generality of the foregoing), the Option may not be assigned, transferred (except as provided above), pledged, or hypothecated in any way; shall not be assignable by operation of law; and shall not be subject to execution, attachment, or similar process. Any attempted assignment, transfer, pledge, hypothecation, or other disposition of the Option contrary to the provisions hereof, and the levy of any execution, attachment, or similar process upon the Option, shall be null and void and without effect.

6. Termination of Employment. In the event the employment of the Optionee shall be terminated for any reason whatsoever, the Option may be exercised by the Optionee at any time (i) until expiration of the term specified in paragraph 3, if such termination was by reason of Retirement (as defined in the 2013 Stock Plan) at any time following the first anniversary of the date of this Agreement, (ii) within one (1) month after such termination if such termination was for any reason other than Retirement, Cause (as defined in the 2013 Stock Plan) or as provided in paragraph 7 hereof, and (iii) no later than the date of termination if such termination was for Cause (as defined in the 2013 Stock Plan); provided, however, that in no event may the Option be exercised later than the expiration of the term specified in paragraph 3. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee (as defined in the 2013 Stock Plan) in writing after the Option Date, (A) upon termination by reason of Retirement at any time following the first anniversary of the date of this Agreement, all outstanding Options then held by the Optionee that have not vested will continue to vest in accordance with their terms and (B) upon termination for any reason other than Retirement, all Options held by the Optionee shall be exercisable only to the extent the Optionee shall have been entitled to do so at the date of his or her termination of employment. For purposes of clarity, if Optionee terminates his or her employment prior to the first anniversary of the date of this Agreement due to Retirement (as such term is defined in the 2013 Stock Plan), or for any other reason, Employee shall, for no consideration, forfeit to the Company all Options granted by this Agreement. So long as the Optionee shall continue to be an employee of the Company or one or more of its subsidiaries, the Option shall not be affected by any change of duties or position. Nothing in this Option Agreement shall confer upon the Optionee any right to continue in the employ of the Company or of any of its subsidiaries or interfere in any way with the right of the Company or any such subsidiary to terminate the employment of the Optionee at any time.

7. Death or Permanent Disability of Optionee. If the Optionee shall die while still employed by the Company or one or more of its subsidiaries, or shall become permanently and totally disabled (as determined by the Committee) while still employed by the Company or one or more of its subsidiaries, the Option may be exercised (to the extent that the Optionee shall have been entitled to do so at the date of his or her death or termination by reason of permanent and total disability, unless otherwise determined by the Committee in writing after the Option Date) by the Optionee, his or her legal representative or the person to whom the Option is transferred by will or the applicable laws of descent and distribution, at any time within twelve (12) months after the Optionee’s death or termination by reason of permanent and total disability, but in no event later than the expiration of the term specified in paragraph 3 hereof.

8. Method of Exercising Option. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Option Agreement, the Option may be exercised by written notice to the Chief Financial Officer of the Company at the principal office of the Company. Such notice shall state the election to exercise the Option and the number of shares in respect of which it is being exercised, and shall be signed by the person so exercising the Option. Such notice shall be accompanied by payment of the full purchase price of such shares which payment shall be made (i) in cash or by certified check or bank draft payable to the Company, (ii) by any other form of legal consideration deemed sufficient by the Company and consistent with the purpose of the 2013 Stock Plan and applicable law, (iii) in the sole discretion of the Company, by delivery of shares of Common Stock of the Company having a Fair Market Value equal to the purchase price, or (iv) by a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock, whose Fair Market Value shall equal the purchase price. For purposes of this paragraph, the “Fair Market Value” of the Common Stock of the Company shall be established in the manner set forth in Section 2(p) of the 2013 Stock Plan. The certificate or certificates for the shares as to which the Option shall have been so exercised shall be registered in the name of the person so exercising the Option, or if the Optionee so elects, in the name of the Optionee or one other person as joint tenants, and shall be delivered as soon as practicable after the notice shall have been received. In the event the Option shall be exercised by any person other than the Optionee, such notice shall be accompanied by appropriate proof of the right of such person to exercise the Option. All shares that shall be purchased upon the exercise of the Option as provided herein shall be fully paid and nonassessable.

9. Withholding Requirements. Upon exercise of the Option by the Optionee and prior to the delivery of shares purchased pursuant to such exercise, the Company shall have the right to require the Optionee to remit to the Company cash in an amount sufficient to satisfy applicable federal and state tax withholding requirements. The Company shall inform the Optionee as to whether it will require the Optionee to remit cash for withholding taxes in accordance with the preceding sentence within two (2) business days after receiving from the Optionee notice that such Optionee intends to exercise, or has exercised, all or a portion of the Option. Alternatively, in order to assist Optionee with paying all or a portion of applicable taxes to be withheld or collected upon exercise, the Committee, in its discretion and subject to such additional terms and conditions as it may adopt, may permit the Optionee to satisfy such tax obligation by (i) electing to have the Company withhold a portion of the shares otherwise to be delivered upon exercise of the Option having a Fair Market Value (determined in the manner set forth in Section 2(p) of the 2013 Stock Plan) equal to the amount of such taxes, provided that the maximum amount shall not exceed the amount of the required withholding, or (ii) delivering to the Company shares of Common Stock other than shares issuable upon exercise having a Fair Market Value (determined in the manner set forth in Section 2(p) of the 2013 Stock Plan) equal to the amount of such taxes.
