SHOCKWAVE MEDICAL, INC. 2019 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN

RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT

The Administrator of the Plan hereby grants to participant ( “Participant”)
named in the Notice of Restricted Stock Unit Award (the “Notice”) to which this
Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement (this “Agreement”) is attached, an Award
(the “Award”) of Restricted Stock Units pursuant to the ShockWave, Inc. 2019
Equity Incentive Plan (as it may be amended from time to time, the “Plan”),
subject to the terms of the Notice, this Agreement and the Plan, effective as of
the Date of Grant set forth in the Notice (the “Grant Date”). Except as
otherwise indicated, any capitalized term used but not defined in this Agreement
shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in the Plan.

1.Issuance of Shares. Each Restricted Stock Unit shall represent the right to
receive one Share upon the vesting of such Restricted Stock Unit, as determined
in accordance with and subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Plan and the
Notice. The number of Restricted Stock Units is set forth in the Notice.

2.Vesting Schedule. Subject to Section 3, the Award shall vest pursuant to the
Vesting Schedule set forth in the Notice.

3.Termination of Service. In the event of Participant’s Termination of Service
for any reason, any Restricted Stock Units that are not vested as of the date of
such Termination of Service will be forfeited.

4.Change in Control. In the event of a merger or Change in Control, the
Restricted Stock Units will be treated in accordance with Section 15(c) of the
Plan.

5.Voting Rights. Participant shall have no voting rights or any other rights as
a shareholder of the Company with respect to the Restricted Stock Units unless
and until Participant becomes the record owner of the Shares underlying the
Restricted Stock Units.

6.Dividend Equivalents. If dividend equivalents are included in this Award, as
determined by the Administrator and indicated in the Notice, and a cash dividend
is declared on Shares during the period commencing on the Grant Date and ending
on the date on which the Shares underlying the Restricted Stock Units are
distributed to Participant pursuant to this Agreement, Participant shall be
eligible to receive an amount in cash (a “Dividend Equivalent”) equal to the
dividend that Participant would have received had the Shares underlying the
Restricted Stock Units been held by Participant as of the time at which such
dividend was declared. Each Dividend Equivalent will be paid to Participant in
cash as soon as reasonably practicable (and in no event later than 30 days)
after the applicable Vesting Date of the corresponding Restricted Stock Units.
For clarity, no Dividend Equivalent will be paid with respect to any Restricted
Stock Units that are forfeited.

7.Distribution of Shares. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, upon the
vesting of any of the Restricted Stock Units, the Company shall deliver to
Participant, as soon as reasonably practicable (and in no event later than 30
days) after the applicable Vesting Date, one Share for each such Restricted
Stock Unit. Upon the delivery of Shares pursuant to this Agreement, the Shares
delivered shall be fully assignable, alienable, saleable and transferrable by
Participant; provided that any such assignment, alienation, sale, transfer or
other alienation with respect to such Shares shall be in accordance with
applicable securities laws and any applicable Company policy.

8.Responsibility for Taxes.

(a)Participant acknowledges that, regardless of any action taken by the Company
or the Employer, the ultimate liability for all income tax, social insurance,
payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, payment on account or other tax-related items
related to Participant’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable to
Participant (“Tax-Related Items”) is and remains Participant’s responsibility
and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or the Employer.
Participant further acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (i) make
no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related
Items in connection with any aspect of the Award, including, but not limited to,
the grant, vesting or settlement of the Award, the subsequent sale of Shares
acquired upon settlement of the Award and the receipt of any dividends and/or
Dividend Equivalents; and (ii) do not commit to and are under no obligation to
structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Award to reduce or
eliminate Participant’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any
particular tax result. Further, if Participant is subject to Tax-Related Items
in more than one jurisdiction, Participant acknowledges that the Company and/or
the Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or
account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.

(b)Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable,
Participant agrees to make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company
and/or the Employer to satisfy all Tax-Related Items. In this regard,
Participant authorizes the Company and/or the Employer, or their respective
agents, at their discretion, to satisfy any applicable withholding obligations
with regard to all Tax-Related Items in the manner determined by the Company
and/or the Employer from time to time, which may include: (i) withholding from
Participant’s wages or other cash compensation paid to Participant by the
Company and/or the Employer; (ii) requiring Participant to remit the aggregate
amount of such Tax-Related Items to the Company in full, in cash or by check,
bank draft or money order payable to the order of the Company or the Employer;
(iii) through a procedure whereby Participant delivers irrevocable instructions
to a broker reasonably acceptable to the Administrator to sell Shares obtained
upon settlement of the Award and to deliver promptly to the Company an amount of
the proceeds of such sale equal to the amount of the Tax-Related Items; (iv) by
a “net settlement” under which the Company reduces the number of Shares issued
on settlement of the Award by the number of Shares with an aggregate fair market
value that equals the amount of the Tax-Related Items associated with such
settlement; or (v) any other method of withholding determined by the Company and
permitted by applicable law.

(c)Depending on the withholding method, the Company or the Employer may withhold
or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable minimum statutory
withholding rates or other applicable withholding rates, including maximum
applicable rates, in which case Participant will receive a refund of any
over-withheld amount in cash and will have no entitlement to the equivalent
number of Shares. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by
withholding in Shares, for tax purposes, Participant is deemed to have been
issued the full number of Shares subject to the settled Award, notwithstanding
that a number of the Shares are held back solely for the purpose of paying the
Tax-Related Items.

(d)Participant agrees to pay to the Company or the Employer any amount of
Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Employer may be required to withhold
or account for as a result of Participant’s participation in the Plan that
cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Company may refuse to
issue or deliver the Shares or the proceeds of the sale of Shares, if
Participant fails to comply with Participant’s obligations in connection with
the Tax-Related Items.

(e)Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan or this Agreement to the contrary,
this Award is intended to be exempt from Code Section 409A; provided, that the
Company does not guarantee to Participant any particular tax treatment of the
Option. In no event whatsoever shall the Company be liable for any additional
tax, interest or penalties that may be imposed on Participant by Code Section
409A or any damages for failing to comply with Code Section 409A.

THE PARENT OR SUBSIDIARY EMPLOYING OR RETAINING PARTICIPANT) TO TERMINATE
PARTICIPANT’S RELATIONSHIP AS A SERVICE PROVIDER AT ANY TIME, WITH OR WITHOUT
CAUSE.

sell, pledge, assign, hypothecate or otherwise transfer the Award or any right
under the Award, other than as permitted by the Administrator, shall be void and
of no effect. This provision shall not apply to any portion of the Award that

13.Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is or becomes or is deemed

if it cannot be so construed or deemed amended without, in the determination of
the Board, materially altering the intent of this Agreement, such provision
shall be stricken as to such jurisdiction, and the remainder of this Agreement
shall remain in full force and effect.

14.Amendment; Waiver. No amendment or modification of any provision of this

liability arising hereunder or by reason hereof shall be assignable by
