Delaware corporation (the “Company”), has granted to Participant the right to purchase the number
of shares of Restricted Stock under the Company’s 2006 Incentive Award Plan (as amended from time
to time, the “Plan”) as set forth in the Grant Notice.



ARTICLE I.




GENERAL




     1.1 Definitions. All capitalized terms used in this Agreement without definition
shall have the meanings ascribed in the Plan and the Grant Notice.



     1.2 Incorporation of Terms of Plan. The Award is subject to the terms and conditions
of the Plan which are incorporated herein by reference. In the event of any inconsistency between
the Plan and this Agreement, the terms of the Plan shall control.



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.

disposition thereof shall be null and void and of no effect; provided, however, that this Section
3.1 notwithstanding, with the consent of the Committee, the Shares may be transferred to certain
persons or entities related to Participant, including but not limited to members of Participant’s
family, charitable institutions or trusts or other entities whose beneficiaries or beneficial
owners are members of Participant’s family and/or charitable institutions, or to such other persons

promulgated thereunder by the Securities and Exchange Commission, including without limitation Rule

Agreement may be wholly or partially amended or otherwise modified, suspended or terminated at any
time or from time to time by the Committee or the Board, provided, that, except as may otherwise be

adversely effect the Award in any material way without the prior written consent of the
Participant.



     3.7 Notices. Notices required or permitted hereunder shall be given in writing and

by certified mail, with postage and fees prepaid, addressed to the Participant to his address shown
