(FOR EMPLOYEES SUBJECT TO THE LAWS OF BELGIUM)  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Pursuant to your Notice of Grant of Stock Option ("Grant Notice") and this Stock Option Agreement, Wind River Systems,&nbsp;Inc. (the "Company") has granted
you an option under its 1998 Non-Officer Stock Option Plan (the "Plan") to purchase the number of shares of the Company's Common Stock indicated in your Grant Notice at the exercise price
indicated in your Grant Notice. Defined terms not explicitly defined in this Stock Option Agreement but defined in the Plan shall have the same definitions as in the Plan. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
details of your option are as follows: </FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</FONT><FONT
SIZE=2><B>1.&nbsp;&nbsp;Vesting.</B></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;Subject to the limitations contained herein, your option will vest as provided in your
Grant Notice, provided that vesting will cease upon the termination of your Continuous Service. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</FONT><FONT
SIZE=2><B>2.&nbsp;&nbsp;Number of Shares and Exercise Price.</B></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;The number of shares of Common Stock subject to your option and
your exercise price per share is irrevocably determined in your Grant Notice and may not be adjusted. The Company will not provide, directly or indirectly, hedging or downside protection against a
decrease in the value of the shares of Common Stock. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</FONT><FONT
SIZE=2><B>3.&nbsp;&nbsp;Method of Payment.</B></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;Payment of the exercise price is due in full upon exercise of all or any part of
your option. You may elect to make payment of the exercise price in cash or by check, or in the Company's sole discretion at the time your option is exercised and provided that at the time of exercise
the Common Stock is publicly traded and quoted regularly in </FONT><FONT SIZE=2><I>The Wall Street Journal</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>, pursuant to a program developed under Regulation&nbsp;T as
promulgated by the Federal Reserve Board that, prior to the issuance of Common Stock, results in either the receipt of cash (or check) by the Company or the receipt of irrevocable instructions to pay
the aggregate exercise price to the Company from the sales proceeds. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</FONT><FONT
SIZE=2><B>4.&nbsp;&nbsp;Whole Shares.</B></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;You may exercise your option only for whole shares of Common Stock. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</FONT><FONT
SIZE=2><B>5.&nbsp;&nbsp;Securities Law Compliance.</B></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, you may not
exercise your option unless the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise are then registered under the Securities Act. The exercise of your option must also comply with other applicable laws
and regulations governing your option, and you may not exercise your option if the Company determines that such exercise would not be in material compliance with such laws and regulations. </FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</FONT><FONT
SIZE=2><B>6.&nbsp;&nbsp;Term.</B></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;The term of your option (the "Term") commences on 1 January of the first calendar year
following the third anniversary of the Date of Grant and expires (along with your option) on the fifth anniversary of the Date of Grant (the "Expiration Date"). In addition to the foregoing, your
option will in any event expire immediately and irrevocably: (a)&nbsp;eighteen (18)&nbsp;months after your death, if you die during, or within three (3)&nbsp;months after the termination of your
Continuous Service, (b)&nbsp;twelve (12)&nbsp;months after the termination of your Continuous Service due to disability or (c)&nbsp;three (3)&nbsp;months after the termination of your
Continuous Service for any other reason; </FONT><FONT SIZE=2><I>provided</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>, </FONT><FONT SIZE=2><I>however</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>, that if (x)&nbsp;such termination of your
Continuous Service occurs prior to the commencement of the Term and (y)&nbsp;at the time of such termination of your Continuous Service the option is vested (partially or fully), then the expiration
of the option pursuant to the foregoing clauses (a), (b)&nbsp;and (c)&nbsp;shall be effective as of the earlier of the Expiration Date set forth above or eighteen months (18)&nbsp;(in the case
of clause&nbsp;(a)), twelve (12)&nbsp;months (in the case of clause&nbsp;(b)), or three (3)&nbsp;months (in the case of clause&nbsp;(c)) after the commencement of the Term; and </FONT> <FONT SIZE=2><I>provided</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>, </FONT><FONT
SIZE=2><I>further</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>, that if during any part of the period prior to the expiration of the option it is not
exercisable solely because of the condition set forth in paragraph&nbsp;5 (Securities Law Compliance), the option shall not expire until the earlier of the Expiration Date or the date as of which it
shall have been exercisable for an aggregate period of time after the termination of Continuous Service that is equal to the applicable period of time under </FONT></P>

(2)&nbsp;the disposition of shares of Common Stock acquired upon such exercise. </FONT></P>

third party who, in the event of your death, shall thereafter be entitled to exercise your option. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</FONT><FONT
SIZE=2><B>9.&nbsp;&nbsp;Option Not a Service Contract.</B></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;Your option is not an employment or service contract, and nothing in
your option shall be deemed to create in any way whatsoever any obligation on your part to continue in the employ of the Company or an Affiliate, or of the Company or an Affiliate to continue your

you might have as a Director or Consultant for the Company or an Affiliate. </FONT></P>

Common Stock having a Fair Market Value, determined by the Company as of the date of exercise, not in excess of the minimum amount of tax required to be withheld by law. Any adverse consequences to
you arising in connection with such share withholding procedure shall be your sole responsibility. </FONT></P>
