Grant ID 0000000000XXX

     THIS AGREEMENT, made as of                                          , by and between Restore
Medical, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and                     (“Optionee”).

     WHEREAS, the Company, pursuant to the 1999 Omnibus Stock Plan (the “Plan”), wishes to grant
this stock option to Optionee;

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the mutual covenants herein contained,
the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

     1. Grant of Option. The Company hereby grants to Optionee the right and option (the
“Option”) to purchase all or any part of an aggregate of XXXX shares (the “Shares”) of
the common stock, par value $.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), of the Company at the price
of  $XX.XX  per Share on the terms and conditions set forth herein. It is understood and
agreed that such price is not less than 100% of the fair market value of each such Share on the
date of this Agreement. The Option is intended to be entitled to treatment as an incentive stock
option within the meaning of Section 422A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
“Code”).

     2. Duration and Exercisability. The Option may not be exercised by Optionee except as
set forth below, and the Option shall in all events terminate ten years from the date hereof.
Subject to the other terms and conditions set forth herein, the Option shall vest and may be
exercised by Optionee in cumulative installments as follows:

     Vesting Schedule:

XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX

XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX

XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX

XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX

XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX

XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX

XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX

XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX

During the lifetime of Optionee, the Option shall be exercisable only by Optionee. The Option
shall not be assignable or transferable by Optionee, other than by will or the laws of descent and
distribution. The vesting of the Option is subject to acceleration under the circumstances
described in Section 4.

     3. Effect of Termination of Relationship with the Company.

     (a) In the event that Optionee shall cease to be employed by the Company or its subsidiaries,
for any reason other than Optionee’s gross and willful misconduct or Optionee’s death or
disability, Optionee shall have the right to exercise the Option at any time within three months
after such termination of employment to the extent of the full number of Shares Optionee was
entitled to purchase under the Option on the date of termination, subject to the condition that the
Option shall not be exercisable after the expiration of its term.

 

 

     (b) In the event that Optionee shall cease to be employed by the Company or its subsidiaries
by reason of Optionee’s gross and willful misconduct during the course of his/her employment with
the Company (as reasonably determined by the Company), the Option shall terminate as of the date of
the misconduct and shall not be exercisable thereafter.

     (c) If Optionee shall die while employed by the Company or its subsidiaries, or within three
months after termination of his/her employment with the Company for any reason other than gross and
willful misconduct, or if Optionee shall become disabled within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of
the Code while employed by the Company or its subsidiaries, and Optionee shall not have fully
exercised the Option, the Option may be exercised at any time within twelve months after Optionee’s
death or disability by the legal representative or, if applicable, guardian of Optionee or by any
person to whom the Option is transferred by will or the applicable laws of descent and distribution
to the extent of the full number of Shares Optionee was entitled to purchase under the Option on
the date of death (or termination of his/her employment, if earlier) or disability and subject to
the condition that the Option shall not be exercisable after the expiration of its term.

     (d) With respect to the Option and any other incentive stock option granted to Optionee,
Optionee understands that to the extent that the aggregate fair market value (determined as of the
date of the Option and each other such incentive stock option) of the shares of Common Stock
issuable upon exercise of the Option and all other incentive stock options which become exercisable
for the first time by Optionee during any calendar year exceeds $100,000, then, in accordance with
Section 422(d) of the Code, the portion of the Option and any such other incentive stock options
that exceed $100,000 shall be treated as options that do not qualify as incentive stock options.

     4. Change in Control.

     (a) Except for an assumption of the Option as described in subsection (d), in the event
that a “Change in Control” (as hereinafter defined) occurs, the vesting schedule set forth in
Section 2 shall accelerate and the Option shall become exercisable with respect to 50% of the
unvested Shares upon the occurrence of such transaction; provided, however, that
if, in connection with the consummation of the transaction resulting in the Change in Control, the
Optionee is offered consideration, in exchange for the Option, equal to the excess of the value
received for one share of Common Stock in such transaction over the exercise price of the Option
multiplied by the number of Shares subject thereto, the Option shall terminate upon the
consummation of the Change in Control.

     (b) A “Change in Control” of the Company shall be deemed to have occurred if:

	 	(i)	 	Any “person” (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and
14(d)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange
Act”)) who did not own shares of the capital stock of the Company on the date
of grant of the Option shall, together with his, her or its “Affiliates” and
“Associates” (as such terms are defined in Rule 12b-2 promulgated under the
Exchange Act), become the “Beneficial Owner” (as such term is defined in Rule
13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of
securities of the Company representing 50% or more of the combined voting power
of the Company’s then outstanding securities (any such person being hereinafter
referred to as an “Acquiring Person”);
	 
	 	(ii)	 	The “Continuing Directors” (as hereinafter defined) shall cease
to constitute a majority of the Company’s Board of Directors;
	 
	 	(iii)	 	There should occur (A) any consolidation or merger involving
the Company and the Company shall not be the continuing or surviving
corporation or the shares
of the Company’s capital stock shall be converted into cash, securities or
other 

2

 

	 	 	 	property; provided, however, that this subclause (A)
shall not apply to a merger or consolidation in which (i) the Company is the
surviving corporation and (ii) the shareholders of the Company immediately
prior to the transaction have the same proportionate ownership of the
capital stock of the surviving corporation immediately after the
transaction; (B) any sale, lease, exchange or other transfer (in one
transaction or a series of related transactions) of all or substantially all
of the assets of the Company; or (C) any liquidation or dissolution of the
Company; or

	 	(iv)	 	The majority of the Continuing Directors determine, in their
sole and absolute discretion, that there has been a Change in Control.

     (c) “Continuing Director” shall mean any person who is a member of the Board of Directors of
the Company, while such person is a member of the Board of Directors, who is not an Acquiring
Person, an Affiliate or Associate of an Acquiring Person or a representative of an Acquiring Person
or of any such Affiliate or Associate and who (i) was a member of the Company’s Board of Directors
on the date of grant of the Option or (ii) subsequently became a member of the Board of Directors,
upon the nomination or recommendation, or with the approval of, a majority of the Continuing
Directors.

     5. Manner of Exercise.

     (a) The Option may only be exercised by Optionee or other proper party within the option
period by delivering written notice of exercise to the Company at its principal executive office.
The notice shall state the number of Shares as to which the Option is being exercised and shall be
accompanied by payment in full of the option price for all of the Shares designated in the notice.

     (b) Optionee may, at the Company’s election, pay the option price in cash, by check (bank
check, certified check or personal check) or by any other means set forth in the Plan.

     (c) The exercise of the Option is contingent upon receipt from Optionee (or other proper
person exercising the Option) of a representation that, at the time of such exercise, it is
Optionee’s intention to acquire the Shares being purchased for investment and not with a view to
the distribution or sale thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
“Securities Act”); provided, however, that the receipt of such representation shall
not be required upon exercise of the Option if, at the time of such exercise, the issuance of the
Shares subject to the Option shall have been properly registered under the Securities Act and all
applicable state securities laws. Such representation shall be in writing and in such form as the
Company may reasonably request. The certificate representing the Shares so issued for investment
shall be imprinted with an appropriate legend setting forth all applicable restrictions on their
transferability.

     6. Adjustments. If Optionee exercises all or any portion of the Option subsequent to
any change in the Common Stock through merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization,
stock dividend, stock split or other change in the corporate or capital structure of the Company,
Optionee shall then receive for the aggregate price paid by him or her on such exercise, the number
and type of securities or other consideration which he or she would have received if the Option had
been exercised prior to the event changing the outstanding Common Stock in order to prevent
dilution or enlargement of the rights granted hereunder.

     7. Miscellaneous.

     (a) The Option is issued pursuant to the Plan and is subject to its terms. Optionee hereby
acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan. The Plan is also available for inspection during
business hours at the principal office of the Company.

3

 

     (b) This Agreement shall not confer on Optionee any right with respect to continuance of
employment by the Company or any of its subsidiaries, nor will it interfere in any way with the
right of the Company to terminate such employment at any time. Optionee shall have none of the
rights of a shareholder with respect to the Shares until such Shares shall have been issued to him
or her upon exercise of the Option.

     (c) The Company shall at all times during the term of the Option reserve and keep available
such number of Shares as will be sufficient to satisfy the requirements thereof. The exercise of
all or any part of the Option shall only be effective at, and may be deferred until, such time as
the sale of the Shares pursuant to such exercise will not violate any federal or state securities
laws, it being understood that the Company shall have no obligation to register the issuance or
sale of the Shares for such purpose.

     (d) If Optionee shall dispose of any of the Shares acquired upon exercise of the Option within
two years from the date hereof or within one year after exercise of the Option, then, in order to
provide the Company with the opportunity to claim the benefit of any income tax deduction that may
be available to it under the circumstances, Optionee shall promptly notify the Company of the dates
of acquisition and disposition of such Shares, the number of Shares so disposed of, and the
consideration, if any, received for such Shares. In order to comply with all applicable federal
and state income tax laws and regulations, the Company may take such action as it deems appropriate
to ensure that, if necessary, all applicable federal or state payroll, withholding, income or other
taxes are withheld or collected from Optionee.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be executed on the day
and year first above written.
