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

     AGREEMENT made this 12th day of November 1998, between Hologic, Inc., a

                             W I T N E S S E T H:
                             -------------------

     WHEREAS, the Employee is an employee of the Company; and

     WHEREAS, in consideration of the valuable services rendered by the Employee
to the Company, the Company desires to award to the Employee 3,000 shares (the
"Shares") of the Company's Common Stock, $.01 par value per share (the "Common
Stock"), and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein;

     NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as
follows:

ARTICLE 1 - ACQUISITION OF SHARES
---------------------------------

     1.1  Award of Shares. The Company hereby awards the Shares to the Employee,
          ---------------
subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The Company shall issue
to the Employee one or more certificates in the name of the Employee for the
number of Shares herein granted.

     1.2  Investment Representations. The Employee represents, warrants and
          --------------------------
covenants as follows:

          (a)  The Employee is acquiring the Shares for his own account for
investment only, and not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, any
distribution of the Shares in violation of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "Securities Act"), or any rule or regulation under the Securities
Act.

          (b)  The Employee understands that (i) the Shares have not been
registered under the Securities Act and are "restricted securities" within the
meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act, (ii) the Shares cannot be sold,
transferred or otherwise disposed of unless they are subsequently registered
under the Securities Act or an exemption from registration is then available;
(iii) in any event, the exemption from registration under Rule 144 will not be
available unless a public market then exists for the Common Stock, adequate
information concerning the Company is then available to the public, and other
terms and conditions of Rule 144 are complied with; and (iv) the Company has no
obligation or current intention to register the Shares under the Securities Act.

ARTICLE 2 - COMPANY REPURCHASE RIGHT
------------------------------------

     2.1  Purchase Option. In the event that the Employee ceases to be employed
          ---------------
by the Company as a full-time employee for any reason or no reason, with or
without cause, prior to November 12, 2000 (the "Vesting Date"), the Company
shall have the right and option (the
<PAGE>

"Purchase Option") to purchase from the Employee, for the sum of the par value
($.01) per share (the "Option Price") any or all of the Shares as the Company
shall elect. For purposes of this Agreement, employment with the Company shall
include employment with a subsidiary of the Company.

     2.2  Exercise of Purchase Option and Closing.
          ---------------------------------------

          (a)  The Company may exercise the Purchase Option by delivering or
mailing to the Employee (or his estate), in accordance with Section 3.7, written
notice of exercise by the later of the Vesting Date or 180 days after the
termination of the employment of the Employee with the Company. Such notice
shall specify the number of Shares to be purchased. If and to the extent the
Purchase Option is not so exercised by the later of the Vesting Date or such
180-day period, the Purchase Option shall automatically terminate effective upon
the expiration of the applicable time period.

          (b)  Within 10 days after his receipt of the Company's notice of the
exercise of the Purchase Option pursuant to subsection (a) above, the Employee
(or his estate) shall tender to the Company at its principal offices the
certificate or certificates representing the Shares which the Company has
elected to purchase, duly endorsed in blank by the Employee or with duly
executed stock powers attached thereto, all in form suitable for the transfer of
such Shares to the Company. Upon its receipt of such Shares, the Company shall
deliver or mail to the Employee a check in the amount of the aggregate Option
Price therefor.

          (c)  In the event that the Company elects to exercise its Purchase
Option (or its option to purchase the Employee's shares pursuant to Section
2.3(c)), it may do so by cancelling the certificate(s) representing the Shares
and depositing the purchase price determined hereunder with the Company's
transfer agent or in a bank account for the benefit of Employee, whereupon such
Shares shall be, for all purposes, cancelled and neither the Employee nor any
transferee shall have any rights as one of its stockholders with respect to such
Shares for any purpose, including without limitation dividend and voting rights.
In addition to any other legal or equitable remedies which it may have, the
Company may enforce its rights by actions for specific performance (to the
extent permitted by law).

          (d)  The Option Price may be payable, at the option of the Company, by
cancellation of all or a portion of any outstanding indebtedness of the Employee
to the Company or in cash (by check), or both.

     2.3  Restrictions on Transfer.
          ------------------------

          (a)  Except as otherwise provided in subsection (b) below, the
Employee shall not, prior to the later of the Vesting Date or termination of the
Purchase Option, if applicable, sell, assign, transfer, pledge, hypothecate or
otherwise dispose of, by operation of law or otherwise (collectively
"transfer"), any of the Shares, or any interest therein, unless and until such
Shares are no longer subject to the Purchase Option.

          (b)  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Employee may transfer Shares
to the Employee's executor, administrator, guardian, conservator or other legal
representative; provided, that the Stock held by such authorized transferee
shall remain subject to the provisions of this Agreement.

          (c)  If any transfer of any of the Shares is made or attempted
contrary to the provisions of this Agreement, in addition to any other remedies
that the Company may have, the

                                       2
<PAGE>

Company shall have the right and option to purchase the Shares from the owner
thereof or his transferee at any time before or after the transfer at the Option
Price, as herein provided.

ARTICLE 3 - MISCELLANEOUS
-------------------------

     3.1  Adjustments for Stock Splits, Stock Dividends, etc. If from time to
          ---------------------------------------------------
time during the term of the Purchase Option there is any stock split-up, stock
dividend, stock distribution or other reclassification of the Common Stock of
the Company, any and all new, substituted or additional securities to which the
Employee is entitled by reason of his ownership of the Shares shall be
immediately subject to the Purchase Option, the restrictions on transfer and the
other provisions of this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent as
the Shares, and the Option Price shall be appropriately adjusted.

     3.2  Withholding Taxes.
          -----------------

          (a)  The Employee acknowledges and agrees that the Company has the
right to deduct from payments of any kind otherwise due to the Employee any
federal, state or local taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with
respect to the award of the Shares by the Employee.

          (b)  If the Employee elects, in accordance with Section 83(b) of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, to recognize ordinary income in the
year of acquisition of the Shares, the Company may require that the Employee, at
the time of such election, make an additional payment for withholding tax
purposes (or enter into an alternative arrangement to assure such payment) based
on the difference, if any, between the purchase price for such Shares and the
fair market value of such Shares as of the day immediately preceding the date of
the purchase of such Shares by the Employee.

     3.3  No Rights To Employment. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be
          -----------------------
construed as giving the Employee any right to be retained as an employee of the
Company.

     3.4  Waiver; Disposition of Stock. From time to time the Company may waive
          ----------------------------
its rights hereunder either generally or with respect to one or more specific

          -------------------
affixed thereto legends in substantially the following form:

          restrictions on transfer and an option to purchase set forth in a
          certain Restricted Stock Agreement between the corporation and the
          registered owner of this certificate (or his predecessor in interest).
          Such Agreement is available for inspection without charge at the
          principal executive offices of the corporation."

          "The shares represented by this certificate have not been registered
          under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be sold,
          transferred or otherwise disposed of in the absence of an effective
          registration statement under such Act or an opinion of counsel
          satisfactory to the corporation to the effect that such registration
          is not required."

transaction or series of transactions, of shares of capital stock of the Maker
entitling such Person to exercise 50% or more of the total voting power of all

shall be entitled to collect a late payment charge for each month or fraction
thereof during which such payment is not made when due and for each month
thereafter that such sum remains unpaid, equal to the lesser of four percent
(4%) of such late payment or the maximum amount permitted by law, for the
purpose of defraying the expense incurred by Holder in handling and processing
such delinquent payment, and such amount shall be secured by the Loan Documents.
Such charge shall be payable to Holder as additional interest and not as a
penalty.

     In addition to any late payment charge which may be due under this Note,
Maker shall pay interest on all sums due hereunder at a rate (the "Default
                                                                   -------

hereunder, or in connection with enforcement of any of Holder's rights or
Maker's obligations under this Note, the Mortgage, or any of the other Loan
Documents, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate.

     8.  Continuing Liability.  The obligation of Maker to pay the Principal
         --------------------
Indebtedness, interest and all other sums due hereunder shall continue in full
force and effect and shall in no way be impaired until the actual payment
thereof to Holder, and in case of a sale or transfer of all or any part of the
Mortgaged Property, or in case of any further agreement given to secure the
payment of this Note, or in case of any agreement or stipulation extending the
time or modifying the terms of payment above recited, Maker shall nevertheless
continue to be liable on this Note, as extended or modified by any such
agreement or stipulation, unless released and discharged in writing by Holder.

     9.  Joint and Several Liability.  If more than one person, corporation,
         ---------------------------
partnership or other entity shall now or at any time in the future execute this
Note as Maker and/or assume the obligations of Maker hereunder, then each person
and entity shall be fully liable for all such assumed obligations of Maker
hereunder and such obligations shall be joint and several.

     10.  No Oral Changes; Waivers; Offsets.  This Note may not be changed
          ---------------------------------

nonpayment, notice of partial payment, notice of dishonor, protest of any
dishonor, notice of protest, and protest of this Note, and all other notices or

entitled, and all suretyship defenses of every kind and nature and notices in
connection with the delivery, acceptance, performance, default (except notice of
default required hereby, if any), or enforcement of the payment of this Note,
and they agree that the liability of each of them shall be unconditional without
regard to the liability of any other party and shall not be in any manner
affected by an indulgence, extension of time, renewal, waiver or modification
granted or consented to by Holder; and Maker and all future indemnitors,
indorsers, sureties and guarantors hereof consent to any and all extensions of
time, renewals, waivers or modifications that may be granted by Holder hereof
with respect to the payment or other provisions of this Note and to the release
of the collateral, or any part thereof, with or without substitution, and agree
that additional makers, indorsers, indemnitors, guarantors, or sureties may
become parties hereto without notice to them or affecting their liability
hereunder.

     Holder shall not by any act of omission or commission be deemed to waive
any of its rights or remedies hereunder unless such waiver shall be in writing
and signed by Holder, and then only to the extent specifically set forth
therein;  a waiver with respect to one event shall not be construed as
continuing or as a bar to or waiver of such right or remedy with respect to a
subsequent event.  The acceptance by Holder of payment hereunder that is less
than payment in full of all amounts due at the time of such payment shall not
without the express written consent of Holder:  (i) constitute a waiver of the
right to exercise any of Holder's remedies at that time or at any subsequent
time, (ii) constitute an accord and satisfaction or (iii) nullify any prior
exercise of any remedy.

     No failure to cause an Acceleration of Maturity hereof by reason of an
Event of Default hereunder, acceptance of a past due installment or indulgences
granted from time to time shall be construed (i) as a novation of this Note or
as a reinstatement of the indebtedness evidenced hereby or as a waiver of such
right of acceleration or of the right of Holder thereafter to insist upon strict
compliance with the terms of this Note, or (ii) to prevent the exercise of such
right of acceleration or any other right granted hereunder or by applicable
laws; and, to the maximum extent permitted by law, Maker hereby expressly waives
the benefit of any statute or rule of law or equity now provided, or which may
hereafter be provided, which would produce a result contrary to or in conflict
with the foregoing.

     To the maximum extent permitted by law, Maker hereby waives and renounces
for itself, its heirs, successors and assigns, all rights to the benefits of any
statute of limitations and any moratorium, reinstatement, marshalling,
forbearance, valuation, stay, extension, redemption (after a sale by
foreclosure), appraisement and

                                     - 6 -

exemption now provided, or which may hereafter be provided, by the Constitution
and laws of the United States of America and of any state thereof, both as to
itself and in and to all of its property, real and personal, against the
enforcement and collection of the obligations evidenced by this Note.

     All payments by the Maker hereunder and under the Mortgage shall be made
without setoff, deduction, defense or counterclaim, howsoever arising.  The
Holder may elect, in its sole discretion, to effect the payment of any
indemnification obligation of the Holder to the Maker pursuant to the terms of
the Asset Purchase Agreement by crediting such amounts against the outstanding
Principal Indebtedness and any accrued interest evidenced by this Note.

     12.  Bind and Inure.  This Note shall bind and inure to the benefit of the
          --------------
parties hereto and their respective legal representatives, heirs, successors and
assigns.

     13.  Applicable Law; Service of Process; Severability.  The provisions of
          ------------------------------------------------
this Note shall be construed and enforceable in accordance with the laws of the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts.  Service of process may be made upon the Maker by
mailing a copy of the summons and any complaint to the Borrower, by certified or
registered mail, return receipt requested, at the address to be used for the
giving of notice to the Maker under this Note.

     If any provision of this Note or the application hereof to any person or
circumstance shall, for any reason and to any extent, be invalid or
unenforceable, neither the remainder of this Note nor the application of such
provision to any other person or circumstance shall be affected thereby, but
rather the same shall be enforced to the greatest extent permitted by law,
except that if such provision relates to the payment of a monetary sum and if
Holder in its reasonable judgment concludes that timely payment of all
principal, interest, fees and expenses provided for in the Loan Documents is
jeopardized or threatened, then Holder may, at its option, declare the entire
indebtedness evidenced hereby due and payable upon sixty (60) days prior written
notice to Maker.

     14.  Usury.  It is hereby expressly agreed that if from any circumstances
          -----
whatsoever fulfillment of any provision of this Note, at the time performance of
such provision shall be due, shall involve transcending the limit of validity
then prescribed by any applicable usury statute or any other law, with regard to
obligations of like character and amount, then ipso facto the obligation to be
                                               ---- -----
fulfilled shall be reduced to the limit of such validity, so that in no

                                    - 7 -

<PAGE>

event shall any exaction be possible under this Note that is in excess of the
limit of such validity. In no event shall Maker be bound to pay for the use,
forbearance or detention of the money loaned pursuant hereto interest of more
than the legal limit in effect at the time, the right to demand any such excess
being hereby expressly waived by Holder.

     15.  Notice.  Any notice, request, demand, statement or consent made
          ------
hereunder shall be in writing signed by the party giving such notice, request,
demand, statement or consent, and shall be deemed to have been properly given if

certified return receipt requested, at the address set forth below, or at such
other address within the continental United States of America as may have

as aforesaid shall be the date of personal service, one (1) business day after
delivery to such overnight delivery service, or three (3) business days after
being deposited in the United States Mail, whichever is applicable.  The phrase
"business day" or "Business Day", and similar phrases, as used in this Note
