THIS RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD AGREEMENT (the “Award Agreement”) is made and
entered into as of _______________, 200__ (the “Date of Grant”), by and between
Kinetic Concepts, Inc., a Texas corporation (the “Company”), and
[_________________________] (the “Grantee”).  Capitalized terms not defined
herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Company’s 2008 Omnibus
Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”).  Where the context permits, references to the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates shall include the successors to
the foregoing.
 
Pursuant to the Plan, the Administrator has determined that the Grantee is to be
granted Restricted Stock, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the
Plan and herein, and hereby grants such Restricted Stock.
 
1. Grant of Restricted Stock.  The Company hereby grants to the Grantee
[_______] shares of Restricted Stock (the "Award") on the terms and conditions
set forth in the Award Agreement and as otherwise provided in the Plan.
 
2. Terms and Conditions of Award.  The Award shall be subject to the following
terms, conditions and restrictions:
 
(a)  
Restrictions.  Restricted Stock and any interest therein, may not be sold,
transferred, pledged, hypothecated, assigned or otherwise disposed of, except by
will or the laws of descent and distribution, during the Restricted Period.  Any
attempt to dispose of any Restricted Stock in contravention of any such
restrictions (the "Restrictions") shall be null and void and without effect.
 

(b)  
Certificate; Restrictive Legend.  The Grantee agrees that shares of Restricted
Stock ("Shares") may be issued to Grantee in book-entry form on the Company's
stock ledger until such time as the Restrictions may lapse, at which time the
Company may deposit such Shares with an online broker or other service provider
contracted by the Company for such purpose.  The Company may also issue
certificates representing Restricted Stock prior to the lapse of Restrictions,
provided that any certificate issued for Restricted Stock prior to the lapse of
any outstanding Restrictions relating thereto shall be inscribed with the
following legend:
 

THIS CERTIFICATE AND THE SHARES OF STOCK REPRESENTED HEREBY ARE SUBJECT TO THE
TERMS AND CONDITIONS, INCLUDING FORFEITURE PROVISIONS AND RESTRICTIONS AGAINST
TRANSFER (THE "RESTRICTIONS"), CONTAINED IN THE KINETIC CONCEPTS, INC. 2008
OMNIBUS INCENTIVE  PLAN AND THE RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD AGREEMENT ENTERED INTO
BETWEEN THE REGISTERED OWNER AND THE COMPANY.  ANY ATTEMPT TO DISPOSE OF THESE
SHARES IN CONTRAVENTION OF THE RESTRICTIONS, INCLUDING BY WAY OF SALE,
ASSIGNMENT, TRANSFER, PLEDGE, HYPOTHECATION OR OTHERWISE, SHALL BE NULL AND VOID
AND WITHOUT EFFECT.
 
(c)  
Rights as a Shareholder.  Subject to the restrictions set forth in the Plan and
the Award Agreement, including the Restrictions set forth in Paragraphs 2(a) and
2(d), during the Restricted Period, the Grantee shall possess all incidents of
ownership with respect to the Restricted Stock granted hereunder, including the
right to receive dividends with respect to such Restricted Stock (provided
however, that any dividends paid in property other than cash shall be subject to
the same restrictions that apply to the underlying Restricted Stock) and the
right to vote such Restricted Stock.
 

(d)  
Lapse of Restrictions.  Except as may otherwise be provided herein, the
Restrictions on transfer set forth in Paragraph 2(a) shall lapse on the third
anniversary of the Date of Grant (the "Restriction Period").  Unless otherwise
provided herein, if the Restrictions on any Shares have not lapsed at such time
or times and/or the occurrence of the events specified herein, then the Grantee
shall immediately forfeit any rights to those Shares with respect to which such
Restrictions have not lapsed and shall have no further rights thereto.
 

Promptly after each lapse of Restrictions relating to the Restricted Stock, and
provided that the Grantee shall have complied with his or her obligations under
Paragraph 2(f) hereof, the Company may either (i) issue to the Grantee or the
Grantee's personal representative a stock certificate representing a number of
Shares equal to the number with respect to which such Restrictions have lapsed,
free of the restrictive legend described in Paragraph 2(b), or (ii) deposit
Shares equal to the number with respect to which such Restrictions have lapsed
with an online broker or other service provider contracted by the Company for
such purpose.  If certificates representing such Restricted Stock shall have
theretofore been delivered to the Grantee, such certificates shall be returned
to the Company, complete with any necessary signatures or instruments of
transfer prior to the issuance by the Company of such unlegended Shares.

(e)  
Effect of Termination of Service; or Change in Control.
 

(i)

for each full year such Grantee served as a Board member during the Restriction
Period, one-third (1/3) of the shares subject to the Award shall be deemed fully
vested, and the restrictions with respect such vested shares shall lapse on the
date of termination and the Grantee shall immediately forfeit any rights to the
Shares of Restricted Stock with respect to which the Restrictions have not
lapsed and shall have no further rights thereto.
 

(ii)  
In the event the Grantee is terminated as a Board member by reason of his or her
death or Disability during the Restricted Period, the Restrictions on all
outstanding Restricted Stock with respect to which the Restrictions have not
lapsed shall immediately lapse.
 

(iii)  
If the Grantee is terminated as a Board member for any reason other than as set
forth in subsections (i) or (ii) above, the Grantee shall immediately forfeit
any rights to the Shares of Restricted Stock with respect to which the

legal or equitable, available to enforce said provisions.
