2003 INCENTIVE AWARD PLAN

DEFERRED ISSUANCE RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD AGREEMENT

          Pursuant to the Deferred Issuance Restricted Stock Award Grant Notice (the “Grant Notice”) and
this Deferred Issuance Restricted Stock Award Agreement (the “Agreement”), Gen-Probe Incorporated
(the “Company”) hereby grants to you a deferred issuance restricted stock award pursuant to Section
7 of The 2003 Incentive Award Plan of Gen-Probe Incorporated (the “Plan”) for the number of shares
as indicated in the Grant Notice (collectively, the “Award”).

          WHEREAS, Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) provides
that deferred compensation arrangements (including, in this case, the Award) that do not comply
with, among other things, the distribution requirements of Code Section 409A, are subject to an
additional 20% tax, plus interest, on the distribution.

          WHEREAS, Code Section 409A provides that the payment of the deferred compensation must not
occur prior to: (i) Termination of Service (but “key employees” of publicly traded companies must
wait an additional six months), (ii) Disability, (iii) death, (iv) a fixed date (or dates)
specified at the time of deferral, (v) a change in control, or (vi) the occurrence of an
unforeseeable emergency.

          WHEREAS, you are a “key employee” for purposes of the distribution limitations contained in
Code Section 409A and as defined in Code Section 416(i).

          NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained and other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto do hereby
agree as follows:

ARTICLE II

DETAILS OF AWARD

          2.1     Purchase Price Consideration. The Award is provided to you in consideration of
your past services. Therefore, you are not required to pay a purchase price to receive the Award.

          2.2     Vesting. Subject to the limitations contained herein, your Award will vest as
provided in the Grant Notice.

          2.3     Dividends. You shall be entitled to receive payments equal to any cash dividends
and other distributions paid with respect to a corresponding number of shares covered by your
Award, provided that if any such dividends or distributions are paid in shares, the Fair Market
Value of such shares shall be converted into additional shares covered by the Award, and further
provided that such additional shares shall be subject to the same forfeiture restrictions and
restrictions on transferability as apply to the shares subject to the Award with respect to which
they relate.

          2.4     Date of Issuance.

                    (a)     The Company will issue to you a number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock equal to
the number of vested shares subject to your Award, including any additional shares received
pursuant to Section 2.3 above that relate to those vested
shares, on the earlier of (i) ________ or (ii) the effective date of your Termination of Service.

                    (b)     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, because you are a “key
employee” for purposes of the distribution limitations contained in Code Section 409A and as
defined in Code Section 416(i), share issuances to you as a result of your

4

 

Termination of Service shall not be made before the date which is six (6) months following the
date of your Termination of Service, or, if earlier, the date of your death or Disability.

          2.5     Capitalization Adjustments to Number of Shares. The number of shares of Common
Stock subject to your Award may be adjusted from time to time for capitalization adjustments as
described in Section 10.3 of the Plan.

          2.6     Securities Law Compliance. You will not be issued any shares of Common Stock
under your Award unless the shares are either (a) then registered under the Securities Act of 1933
(the “Securities Act”) or (b) the Company has determined that such issuance would be exempt from
the registration requirements of the Securities Act. Your Award must also comply with other
applicable laws and regulations governing the Award, and you will not receive any shares of Common
Stock pursuant to your Award if the Company determines that such receipt would not be in material
compliance with such laws and regulations.

          2.7     Limitations on Transfer. Your Award is not transferable, except by will or by the
laws of descent and distribution. In addition to any other limitation on transfer created by
applicable securities laws, you agree not to assign, hypothecate, donate, encumber or otherwise
dispose of any interest in any of the shares of Common Stock held by you under the Award until the
shares are issued to you in accordance with Section 2.4 of this Agreement. After the shares have
been issued to you, you are free to assign, hypothecate, donate, encumber or otherwise dispose of
any interest in such shares provided that any such actions are in compliance with the provisions
herein and applicable securities laws.

          2.8     Corporate Event. If at any time prior to the issuance of the shares, an event as
described in subsection 10.3(b) of the Plan occurs, any successor of the Company may assume this
Award or substitute a similar stock award. If any surviving corporation or acquiring corporation
refuses to assume this Award or substitute a similar stock award in connection with such event, the
shares subject to the Award shall fully vest and be issued to you immediately prior to such event.

          2.9     Withholding Obligations.

                    (a)     On or before the time you receive a distribution of shares pursuant to your Award, or at
any time thereafter as requested by the Company, you hereby authorize withholding from payroll
and/or any other amounts payable to you, and otherwise agree to make adequate provision for any
sums required to satisfy the federal, state, local and foreign tax withholding obligations of the
Company or a Subsidiary, if any, which arise in connection with your Award.

                    (b)     Unless the tax withholding obligations of the Company and/or any Subsidiary are satisfied,
the Company shall have no obligation to issue a certificate for the shares of Common Stock subject
to your Award.

          2.10     Unsecured Obligation. Your Award is unfunded, and as a holder of a vested Award,
you shall be considered an unsecured creditor of the Company with respect to the Company’s
obligation, if any, to issue shares pursuant to this Agreement. You shall not have voting or any
other rights as a stockholder of the Company with respect to the shares purchased

5

 

pursuant to this Agreement until such shares are issued to you pursuant to Section 2.4 of this
Agreement. Upon such issuance, you will obtain full voting and other rights as a stockholder of
the Company. Nothing contained in this Agreement, and no action taken pursuant to its provisions,
shall create or be construed to create a trust of any kind or a fiduciary relationship between you
and the Company or any other person.

          2.11     Vesting Consideration. In consideration of the vesting of the Award, you agree
to render faithful and efficient services to the Company or any Subsidiary, with such duties and
responsibilities as the Company shall from time to time prescribe. Nothing in the Plan or this
Agreement shall confer upon you any right to continue in the service of the Company or any
Subsidiary or shall interfere with or restrict in any way the rights of the Company and its
Subsidiaries, which are hereby expressly reserved, to discharge you at any time for any reason
whatsoever, with or without Cause.

ARTICLE III

OTHER PROVISIONS

          3.1     Administration. The Committee shall have the power to interpret the Plan and this
Agreement and to adopt such rules for the administration, interpretation and application of the
Plan as are consistent therewith and to interpret, amend or revoke any such rules. All actions
taken and all interpretations and determinations made by the Committee in good faith shall be final
and binding upon you, the Company and all other interested persons. No member of the Committee
shall be personally liable for any action, determination or interpretation made in good faith with
respect to the Plan or this Agreement. In its absolute discretion, the Board may at any time and

Agreement.

          3.2     Transfers. The rights and obligations of the Company under your Award shall be

of the offering of any securities of the Company under the Securities Act, you shall not sell or
otherwise transfer any shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Company during such period
as may be requested in writing by the Managing Underwriter and agreed to in writing by the Company
(which period shall not be longer than 180 days) following the effective date of a registration
statement of the Company filed under the Securities Act.

          3.4     Restrictive Legends and Stop-Transfer Orders.

                    (a)     The share certificate or certificates evidencing the shares of Common Stock issued to you

effect in its own records.

                    (c)     The Company shall not be required: (i) to transfer on its books any shares of Common
Stock that have been sold or otherwise transferred in violation of any of the provisions of this
Agreement, or (ii) to treat as owner of such shares of Common Stock or to accord the right to vote
or pay dividends to any purchaser or other transferee to whom such shares shall have been so
transferred.

          3.5     Notices. Any notice to be given under the terms of this Agreement to the Company

notice given pursuant to this Section 3.5, either party may hereafter designate a different address

you are then deceased, be given to your personal representative if such representative has
previously informed the Company of such representative’s status and address by written notice under
this Section 3.5. Any notice shall be deemed duly given when delivered personally or enclosed in a
properly sealed envelope or wrapper addressed as aforesaid, deposited (with postage prepaid)
certified or registered mail in a post office or branch post office regularly maintained by the
United States Postal Service.

          3.6     Titles. Titles are provided herein for convenience only and are not to serve as a

and state securities laws and regulations. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the
Plan shall be administered, and the Award is granted, only in such a manner as to conform to such
laws, rules and regulations. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Plan and this
Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such laws, rules and
regulations.

          3.9     Amendments. This Agreement may not be modified, amended or terminated except by
an instrument in writing, signed by you and by a duly authorized representative of the Company.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended solely by the Committee by a writing
which specifically states that it is amending this

7

 

Agreement, so long as a copy of such amendment is delivered to you, and provided that no such
amendment adversely affecting your rights hereunder may be made without your written consent.
Without limiting the foregoing, the Committee reserves the right to change, by written notice to
you, the provisions of this Agreement in any way it may deem necessary or advisable to carry out
the purpose of the grant as a result of any change in applicable laws or regulations or any future

Plan, the provisions of which are hereby made a part of your Award, and is further subject to all
interpretations, amendments, rules and regulations which may from time to time be promulgated and
adopted pursuant to the Plan. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of your Award
and those of the Plan, the provisions of the Plan shall control; provided, however, that Section
2.4 of this Agreement shall govern the timing of any distribution of shares under your Award.

          3.11     Severability. If all or any part of this Agreement or the Plan is declared by
any court or governmental authority to be unlawful or invalid, such unlawfulness or invalidity
shall not invalidate any portion of this Agreement or the Plan not declared to be unlawful or
invalid. Any Section of this Agreement (or part of such a Section) so declared to be unlawful or
invalid shall, if possible, be construed in a manner which will give effect to the terms of such
Section or part of a Section to the fullest extent possible while remaining lawful and valid.

          3.12     Effect on Other Employee Benefit Plans. The value of the Award subject to this
Agreement shall not be included as compensation, earnings, salaries, or other similar terms used
when calculating the Employee’s benefits under any employee benefit plan sponsored by the Company
or any subsidiary, except as such plan otherwise expressly provides. The Company expressly reserves
its rights to amend, modify, or terminate any of the Company’s or any Subsidiary’s employee benefit
