ARTICLE II.

AWARD OF RESTRICTED STOCK

     2.1 Award of Restricted Stock.

          (a) Award. In consideration of the Participant’s agreement to remain in the service or employ of the Company or one of its Subsidiaries, and for other good and valuable consideration, the Company issues to the Participant the Award described in this Agreement (the “Award”). The number of shares of Restricted Stock (the “Shares”) subject to the Award is set forth in the Grant Notice. The Participant is an Employee, Director or other Service Provider.

          (b) Purchase Price; Book Entry Form. The purchase price of the Shares is set forth on the Grant Notice. At the sole discretion of the Committee, the Shares will be issued in either (i) uncertificated form, with the Shares recorded in the name of the Participant in the books and records of the Company’s transfer agent with appropriate notations to the extent that the Shares remain subject to the Restrictions (as defined below); or (ii) certificate form pursuant to the terms of Sections 2.1(c) and (d).

          (c) Legend. Certificates representing Shares issued pursuant to this Agreement shall, until all restrictions on transfer imposed pursuant to this Agreement lapse or shall have been removed and new certificates are issued, bear the following legend (or such other legend as shall be determined by the Committee):

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO CERTAIN VESTING REQUIREMENTS AND MAY BE SUBJECT TO FORFEITURE UNDER THE TERMS OF THAT CERTAIN RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD AGREEMENT, DATED [                                                             , 200                     ], BY AND BETWEEN THE SPECTRANETICS CORPORATION AND THE REGISTERED OWNER OF SUCH

SHARES, AND SUCH SHARES MAY NOT BE, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, OFFERED, TRANSFERRED, SOLD, ASSIGNED, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, EXCEPT PURSUANT TO THE PROVISIONS OF SUCH AGREEMENT.”

          (d) Escrow. The Secretary of the Company or such other escrow holder as the Committee may appoint may retain physical custody of the certificates representing the Shares until all of the restrictions on transfer imposed pursuant to this Agreement lapse or shall have been removed. In such event the Participant shall not retain physical custody of any certificates representing unvested Shares issued to the Participant.

     2.2 Restrictions.

          (a) Repurchase of Shares Subject to Restrictions. In the event that the Participant ceases to be an Employee, Director or other Service Provider for any reason, the Company shall have the right to repurchase from the Participant any or all Shares then subject to the Restrictions at a cash price per Share equal to the price paid by the Participant for such Shares. For purposes of this Agreement, “Restrictions” shall mean the restrictions on sale or other transfer set forth in Section 3.1 and the exposure to repurchase set forth in this Section 2.2(a).

          (b) Vesting and Lapse of Restrictions. Subject to Sections 2.2(a) and 2.2(c), the Award shall vest and the Restrictions shall lapse in accordance with the vesting schedule set forth on the Grant Notice.

          (c) Acceleration of Vesting. Notwithstanding Sections 2.2(a) and 2.2(b), pursuant to Section 11.2 of the Plan, the Award shall become fully vested and all Restrictions applicable to such Award shall lapse in the event of a Change in Control in connection with which the successor corporation does not assume the Award or substitute an equivalent right for the Award. Should the successor corporation assume the Award or substitute an equivalent right, then no such acceleration shall apply.

          (d) Tax Withholding; Conditions to Issuance of Certificates. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement (including without limitation Section 2.1(b)):

               (i) No Shares shall be recorded in the name of the Participant in the books and records of the Company’s transfer agent and no new certificate shall be delivered to the Participant or his legal representative unless and until the Participant or his legal representative shall have paid to the Company the full amount of all federal and state withholding or other taxes applicable to the taxable income of Participant resulting from the grant of Shares or the lapse or removal of the Restrictions.

               (ii) The Company shall not be required to record any Shares in the name of the Participant in the books and records of the Company’s transfer agent or issue or deliver any certificate or certificates for any Shares prior to the fulfillment of all of the following conditions: (A) the admission of the Shares to listing on all stock exchanges on which the Company’s Common Stock is then listed, (B) the completion of any registration or other qualification of the Shares under any state or federal law or under rulings or regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission or other governmental regulatory body, which the Committee shall, in its sole and absolute discretion, deem necessary and advisable, (C) the obtaining of any approval or other clearance from any state or federal governmental agency that the Committee shall, in its absolute discretion, determine to be necessary or advisable and (D) the lapse of any such reasonable period of time following the date the Restrictions lapse as the Committee may from time to time establish for reasons of administrative convenience.
