ASTRONOVA, INC.

NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTOR

RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT

This Restricted Stock Agreement (“Agreement”) is made and entered into as of
                     (the “Grant Date”), by and between AstroNova, Inc. (the
“Company”), and                      (the “Recipient”) pursuant to the Company’s
Non-Employee Director Annual Compensation Program (the “Program”). This
Agreement is and shall be subject in every respect to the provisions of the
Company’s 2015 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended from time to time (the “Plan”)
and the Program. The Program and the Plan are incorporated herein by reference
and made a part hereof. The Recipient acknowledges that this Agreement shall be
subject to all the terms and provisions of the Plan and the Program and agrees
that (a) in the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and those of the
Plan and/or Program, the terms of the Plan and/or Program shall prevail, and (b)
all decisions under and interpretations of the Plan or Program by the Board or
the Committee shall be final, binding and conclusive upon the Recipient and his
or her heirs and legal representatives.

In consideration of the mutual promises and covenants contained in this
Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as
follows:

1.    Grant of Shares. Upon the execution of this Agreement, the Company shall
issue to the Recipient, in consideration of the Recipient’s service to the
Company, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this
Agreement,                      shares of common stock, $0.05 par value per
share, of the Company (“Common Stock”). Such shares, together with any
securities of the Company that may be issued in exchange for or in respect of
the shares, whether by way of stock split, stock dividend, combination of
shares, reclassification, recapitalization, reorganization or any other means,
shall be referred to herein as the “Shares.”

2.    Vesting. The Shares shall become fully vested on the first anniversary of
the Grant Date, subject to the Recipient continuing Service as a member of the
Board. If a Director’s Service as a member of the Board terminates other than
for death or Disability (“Termination”), all of the Shares that have not vested
as of the date of Termination (any such shares, “Unvested Shares”) will be
forfeited. The foregoing notwithstanding, in the event of the Recipient’s death
or Disability or a Change in Control of the Company during Recipient’s Service
as a member of the Board, all Unvested Shares shall become immediately vested
and no longer subject to restrictions on Transfer hereunder.

3.    Restrictions on Transfer. Other than as part of a Change in Control,
Recipient may not sell, transfer, assign, pledge or otherwise encumber
(collectively, “Transfer”) any Shares or any interest therein until such Shares
have vested. In addition, the Recipient may not Transfer any Shares if the
Recipient has not satisfied the requirements of any stock ownership guidelines
established for Directors by the Board or if such Transfer would cause the
Recipient to be out of compliance with any such guideline. The periods during
which all or any Shares are subject to forfeiture or restrictions on Transfer as
provided in this Section 3 is referred to herein as a “Restricted Period” with
respect to such Shares

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

4.    Voting Rights; Dividends. Subject to the other provisions of this
Agreement, during the Restricted Period applicable to the Shares, the Recipient
shall have all of the rights of a shareholder of the Company holding shares of
Common Stock, including the right to vote such shares and to receive all
dividends and other distributions paid with respect to such shares; provided,
however, that if any such dividends or distributions are paid in shares of
Common Stock, such shares shall be subject to the same vesting schedule and
restrictions on Transfer as the Shares with respect to which the dividends or
distributions were paid.

5.    End of Restricted Period. On the expiration or termination of a Restricted
Period, the restrictions on Transfer shall lapse, and it shall be free of all
restrictions (except any that may be imposed by law or by any applicable stock
ownership guidelines). A stock certificate for the number of shares of Common
Stock with respect to which the restrictions have lapsed shall be delivered to
the Recipient or a book entry or other appropriate electronic record with
respect to such shares shall me made..

6.    Forfeiture of Unvested Shares. In the event of the forfeiture of any
Unvested Shares, the Company shall reacquire such Unvested Shares without the
payment of consideration in any form to such holder of such Unvested Shares, and
the Recipient shall unconditionally forfeit any right, title or interest to such
Unvested Shares. Automatically and without action by any person, all forfeited
Unvested Shares and certificates therefor shall be transferred and delivered to
the Company.

7.    Effect of Prohibited Transfer. The Company shall not be required (a) to
transfer on its books any of the Shares which shall have been sold or
transferred in violation of any of the provisions set forth in this Agreement,
or (b) to treat as owner of such Shares or to pay dividends to any transferee to
whom any such Shares shall have been so sold or transferred.

8.    Restrictive Legend. All certificates representing Shares shall bear a
legend which refers to the restrictions imposed by this Agreement and the Plan
and any applicable state or federal securities laws or regulations, and which
legend is otherwise in such form as the Company may deem appropriate. All Shares
registered in book-entry shall include stop transfer instructions consistent
with such legends.

9.    Adjustments for Recapitalizations and Other Transactions. The Shares
issued pursuant to this Agreement shall be adjusted to reflect any
recapitalizations, reorganizations or other changes in the Company’s capital
structure or its business, or any merger or consolidation of the Company, or any
issue of stock, or any issue of bonds, debentures, preferred or prior preference
stock or other capital stock ahead of or affecting the stock or the rights
thereof, or the dissolution or liquidation of the Company, or any sale or
transfer of all or any part of its assets or business, or any other corporate
act or proceeding, whether of a similar character or otherwise pursuant to the
provisions of Section 11 of the Plan.

8.    Taxes. The Recipient understands and agrees that he or she will be fully
liable for any federal, state or local taxes of any kind owed by him or her with
regard to issuance of the Shares, whether owed at the time of transfer pursuant
to the Recipient having made an election

under Section 83(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (an “83(b)
Election”), or at the time that the Shares vest pursuant to the vesting schedule

9.    83(b) Election. The Recipient understands that it shall be his or her
decision whether to make an 83(b) Election with respect to the Shares, and that
if he or she chooses to make such election, it must be made within 30 days of
the date of execution of this Agreement. The filing of a Section 83(b) election

such an election with respect to issuance of the Shares, he or she must provide
a copy of such election to the Company.

10.    Miscellaneous.

and enforceable to the extent permitted by law.

of the Company and the Recipient and their respective heirs, executors,
