Form of Nonqualified Stock Option Award Agreement under the Companys 2005 Stock Incentive Plan

Grant of Option. The Company hereby grants to the Optionee the Option to purchase the Shares at the Exercise Price, subject to the terms, definitions and provisions of the Plan and this Agreement. All terms, provisions, and conditions applicable to the Option set forth in the Plan and not set forth herein are incorporated by reference. To the extent any provision hereof is inconsistent with a provision of the Plan, the provisions of the Plan will govern. All capitalized terms that are used in this Agreement and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Plan.

Exercise of Option.

Right to Exercise. This Option shall be exercisable prior to the expiration date set forth above (the “Expiration Date”), in accordance with the vesting schedule set forth above (the “Vesting Schedule”) and with the applicable provisions of the Plan and this Agreement. Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, in no event may this Option be exercised after the Expiration Date. Although vested within the meaning of Section 83 of the Internal Revenue Code since no substantial risk of forfeiture exists once the options become exercisable according to the Vesting Schedule above, the Options will not be earned until the Optionee has fulfilled all of the conditions precedent set forth in this Agreement, including, but not limited to, the obligations set forth in Sections 7(b), 7(c), 7(d), 7(e) and Section 8, and the Optionee shall have no right to retain the Shares or the value thereof upon vesting or exercise of the Options until all conditions precedent have been satisfied.

Method of Exercise. This Option shall be exercisable only by delivery of an exercise notice (the “Exercise Notice”), available on the UBS website, the Company’s designee, which shall state the election to exercise the Option, the whole number of vested Shares in respect of which the Option is being exercised and such other provisions as may be required by the Committee. Such Exercise Notice shall be signed by the Optionee and shall be delivered by mail or fax, to the Company’s designee accompanied by payment of the Exercise Price. The Company may require the Optionee to furnish or execute such other documents as the Company shall reasonably deem necessary (1) to evidence such exercise and (2) to comply with or satisfy the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Exchange Act, or any Applicable Laws.

Taxes. Pursuant to Section 16 of the Plan, the Committee shall have the power and the right to deduct or withhold, or require the Optionee to remit to the Company, an amount sufficient to satisfy any applicable tax withholding requirements applicable to this Option. The Committee may condition the issuance of Shares upon the Optionee’s satisfaction of such withholding obligations. The Optionee may elect to satisfy all or part of such withholding requirement by tendering previously-owned Shares or by having the Company withhold Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the minimum statutory tax withholding rate that could be imposed on the transaction (or such other rate that will not result in a negative accounting impact) or in such other manner as is acceptable to the Company. Such election shall be irrevocable, made in writing, signed by the Optionee, and shall be subject to any restrictions or limitations that the Committee, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate.

Method of Payment. Pursuant to Section 6(f) of the Plan and subject to such limitations as the Committee may impose (including prohibition of one or more of the following payment methods), payment of the Exercise Price may be made in cash or by check, Shares or a combination thereof.

Termination of Employment or Service and Expiration of Exercise Period.

Termination of Employment or Service. If the Optionee’s employment or service with the Company and its Subsidiaries is terminated, the Optionee may exercise all or part of this Option prior to the expiration dates set forth in paragraph (b) herein, but only to the extent that the Option had become vested before the Optionee’s employment or service terminated. Notwithstanding the above, if the Optionee’s termination of employment or service (1) is due to Retirement and is more than 6 months from the Date of Grant set forth in this Agreement, or (2) is due to death or Disability, the Option shall become 100% vested and shall remain exercisable until the expiration dates determined pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section.

Expiration of Exercise Period. Upon termination of the Optionee’s employment or service with the Company and its Subsidiaries, the Option shall expire on the earliest of the following occasions:

The Expiration Date;

The date ninety (90) days following the termination of the Optionee’s employment or service for any reason other than Cause, death, Disability, or Retirement;

The date one year following the termination of the Optionee’s employment or service due to death or Disability;

The date five (5) years following the termination of the Optionee’s employment or service due to Retirement, provided the Optionee’s Retirement is more than 6 months from the Date of Grant set forth in this Agreement; or

The date of termination of the Optionee’s employment or service for Cause.

Definition of “Retirement.” For purposes of this Agreement, the Optionee’s employment or service shall be deemed to have terminated due to “Retirement” if the Optionee terminates employment or service as an Employee for any reason, including Disability (but other than for Cause) after (1) twenty (20) or more years of “vesting service,” which solely for purposes of this Agreement, shall be calculated under Article III of The Clorox Company 401(k) Plan (the “401(k) Plan”) entitled “Service” along with any other relevant provisions of the 401(k) Plan necessary or desirable to give full effect thereto, or any successor provisions, regardless of the status of the Optionee with respect to the 401(k) Plan (“Vesting Service”), or (2) attaining age fifty-five (55) with ten (10) or more years of Vesting Service.

Definition of “Disability.” For purposes of this Agreement, the Optionee’s employment shall be deemed to have terminated due to the Optionee’s Disability if the Optionee is entitled to long-term disability benefits under the Company’s long-term disability plan or policy, as in effect on the date of termination of the Optionee’s employment.

Change in Control. Upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, unless otherwise specifically prohibited under Applicable Laws or by the rules and regulations of any governing governmental agencies or national securities exchanges, the Option shall become 100% vested and immediately exercisable, unless such Option is assumed, converted or replaced by the continuing entity; provided, however, that in the event the Participant’s employment is terminated without Cause or by the Participant for Good Reason upon or within twenty-four (24) months following consummation of a Change in Control, any replacement awards will become immediately exercisable. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Good Reason” shall have the meaning set forth in any employment agreement or severance agreement or policy applicable to the Optionee. If the Optionee is not a party to any agreement or covered by a policy in which a definition of “Good Reason” is provided, then the following definition shall apply:

The assignment to the Optionee of any duties inconsistent in any material respect with the Optionee’s position (including offices, titles and reporting requirements), authority, duties or responsibilities as they existed at any time during the 120-day period immediately preceding the Change in Control, or any other action by the Company which results in a material diminution in such position, authority, duties or responsibilities, excluding for this purpose an isolated, insubstantial and inadvertent action not taken in bad faith and which is remedied by the Company promptly after receipt of notice thereof given by the Optionee; or

Any material reduction by the Company of the Optionee’s Base Salary or bonus target, other than an isolated, insubstantial and inadvertent failure not occurring in bad faith and which is remedied by the Company promptly after receipt of notice thereof given by the Optionee; or

The Company requires the Optionee to be based at any office or location which increases his commute by more than 50 miles from his commute immediately prior to the Change in Control.

Transferability of Option. This Option shall not be transferable by the Optionee other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and the Option shall be exercisable during the Optionee’s lifetime only by the Optionee or on his or her behalf by the Optionee’s guardian or legal representative.

The Optionee understands that for purposes of this Section 7(b), Confidential Information further includes, but is not limited to, information pertaining to any aspect of the business of the Company or any Affiliated Company which is either information not known (or known as a result of a wrongful act of the Optionee or of others who were under confidentiality obligations as to the item or items involved) by actual or potential competitors of the Company or other third parties not under confidentiality obligations to the Company. If, prior to the expiration of the Option or at any time within one (1) year after the date of exercise of all or any portion of the Option, the Optionee discloses or uses, or threatens to disclose or use, any Confidential Information other than in the course of performing authorized services for the Company (or any Affiliated Company), the unexercised portion of the Option, whether vested or not, will be immediately forfeited and cancelled, and the Optionee shall immediately return to the Company the Shares or the pre-tax income derived from any disposition of the Shares.

No Interference with Customers or Suppliers. In partial consideration for the award of this Option, in order to forestall the disclosure or use of Confidential Information as well as to avoid the Optionee’s intentional interference with the contractual relations of the Company or any Affiliated Company, the Optionee’s intentional interference with prospective economic advantage of the Company or any Affiliated Company and to promote fair competition, the Optionee agrees that the Optionee’s right to exercise this Option is contingent upon the Optionee refraining, prior to the expiration of the Option and for a period of one (1) year after the date of exercise, for himself/herself or any third party, directly or indirectly, from using Confidential Information to (1) divert or attempt to divert from the Company (or any Affiliated Company) any business of any kind in which it is engaged, or (2) intentionally solicit its customers with which it has a contractual relationship as to Conflicting Products, or interfere with the contractual relationship with any of its suppliers or customers (collectively, “Interfere”).

For avoidance of doubt, the term “Interfere” shall not include any advertisement of Conflicting Products through the use of media intended to reach a broad public audience (such as television, cable or radio broadcasts, or newspapers or magazines) or the broad distribution of coupons through the use of direct mail or through independent retail outlets. THE OPTIONEE UNDERSTANDS THAT THIS PARAGRAPH IS NOT INTENDED TO AND DOES NOT PROHIBIT THE CONDUCT DESCRIBED, BUT PROVIDES FOR THE CANCELLATION OF THE UNEXERCISED PORTION OF THE OPTION AND A RETURN TO THE COMPANY OF THE SHARES OR THE GROSS TAXABLE PROCEEDS OF SHARES ISSUED UPON AN EXERCISE OF THE OPTION IF THE OPTIONEE SHOULD CHOOSE TO VIOLATE THIS “NO INTERFERENCE WITH CUSTOMERS OR SUPPLIERS” PROVISION PRIOR TO THE EXPIRATION OF THE OPTION OR WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER EXERCISE.

If, during the term of the Option or at any time within one (1) year after the date of exercise of all or any portion of the Option, the Optionee breaches his/her obligation not to Solicit, the Optionee’s right to the Shares upon exercise of the Option shall not have been earned and the unexercised portion of the Option, whether vested or not, will be immediately cancelled, and the Optionee shall immediately return to the Company any Shares acquired upon exercise of the Option or the pre-tax income derived from any disposition of such Shares.

Injunctive and Other Available Relief. By acceptance of this Option, the Optionee acknowledges that, if the Optionee were to breach or threaten to breach his/her obligation hereunder not to Interfere or Solicit or not to disclose or use any Confidential Information other than in the course of performing authorized services for the Company (or any Affiliated Company), the harm caused to the Company by such breach or

Permitted Reporting and Disclosure. Notwithstanding any language in this Agreement to the contrary, nothing in this Agreement prohibits Optionee from reporting possible violations of federal law or regulation to any governmental agency or governmental entity, or making other disclosures that are protected under federal law or regulation; provided, that, in each case such communications and disclosures are consistent with applicable law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, under no circumstance is Optionee authorized to disclose any information covered by the Company’s attorney-client privilege or attorney work product or the Company’s trade secrets without prior written consent of the Company’s General Counsel. Any reporting or disclosure permitted under this Section 7(f) shall not result in the cancellation of Options. Optionee is entitled to certain immunities from liability under state and federal law for disclosing trade secrets if the disclosure was made to report or investigate an alleged violation of law, subject to certain conditions. Please see the Company’s Confidential Information Policy for further details.

Right to Retain Shares Contingent on Continuing Non-Conflicting Employment. In partial consideration for the award of this Option in order to forestall the disclosure or use of Confidential Information, as well as to deter the Optionee’s intentional interference with the contractual relations of the Company or any Affiliated Company, the Optionee’s intentional interference with prospective economic advantage of the Company or any Affiliated Company, and to promote fair competition, the Optionee agrees that the Optionee’s right to exercise this Option is contingent upon the Optionee refraining, prior to the expiration of the Option and for a period of one (1) year after the date of exercise, from rendering services, directly or indirectly, as director, officer, employee, agent, consultant or otherwise, to any Conflicting Organization except a Conflicting Organization whose business is diversified and that, as to that part of its business to which the Optionee renders services, is not a Conflicting Organization, provided that the Company shall receive separate written assurances satisfactory to the Company from the Optionee and the Conflicting Organization that the Optionee shall not render services during such period with respect to a Conflicting Product.

Repayment Obligation. In the event that (1) the Company issues a significant restatement of financial results and (2) the Committee determines, in good faith, that the Optionee’s fraud or misconduct was a significant contributing factor to such restatement and (3) some or all of the Option that was granted and/or vested prior to such restatement would not have been granted and/or vested, as applicable, based upon the restated financial
