In consideration of the mutual covenants and representations herein set forth, the Company and Executive agree as follows:
SECTION 1. GRANT OF STOCK.
1.1 Precedence of Plan. This Agreement is subject to and shall be construed in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Heska Corporation 2003 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), as now or hereinafter in effect. Any capitalized terms that are used in this Agreement without being defined and that are defined in the Plan shall have the meaning specified in the Plan.
1.2 Grant of Stock. The Company hereby grants to Executive an aggregate of ___________ shares of Restricted Stock (the “Shares”), subject to vesting as provided in Section 2.
SECTION 2. UNVESTED SHARES SUBJECT TO FORFEITURE.
2.1 Shares Subject to Forfeiture.
a. The Shares are subject to vesting requirements as established in connection with the Management Incentive Plan, including the terms and conditions for awards made under the _____ Management Incentive Plan (the “MIP”). As described in more detail in the MIP, up to 100% of the Shares will vest at the later of the time payments are made under the MIP (the “Payout Time”) or one (1) year from the Grant Date, and will vest as determined by dividing ___% of the Executive’s MIP Payout (as defined in the MIP) by $_____, and rounding to the nearest whole Share. Executive will forfeit all Shares that do not vest at that time.
b. In the event that the Executive is an active employee through December 31, ____ and at least one (1) year from the Grant Date and Executive’s employment with the Company is terminated because of either (i) Executive's death or (ii) Executive’s Disability, up to 100% of the Shares will vest at the Payout Time as determined by dividing ___% of the Executive’s MIP Payout (as defined in the MIP) by $_____, and rounding to the nearest whole Share. Executive will forfeit all Shares that do not vest at that time.
c. Except in the cases of (i) either a Change in Control of the Company, the effect of which is governed by the MIP, or (ii) the circumstances described in subsection b. above, which is governed by subsection b. above, in the event that Executive’s employment with
the Company is terminated prior to vesting, Executive will forfeit all right to the Shares. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event Executive’s employment is terminated due to Executive’s death on or before December 31, ____, Executive will forfeit all right to the Shares but this forfeiture is not intended to dimish any MIP Payout to which Executive’s designated beneficiary is entitled, as governed by the MIP.
2.2 Restriction on Transfer. Until the Shares are vested, the Shares may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated.
SECTION 3. STOCKHOLDER RIGHTS
3.1 Stock Register and Certificates. The Shares will be recorded in the stock register of the Company in the name of Executive.

Executive may complete and file with the Internal Revenue Service an election pursuant to Section 83(b) of the Internal Revenue Code to be taxed currently on the fair market value of the Shares without regard to the vesting restrictions set forth in this Agreement. Executive shall be responsible for all taxes associated with the acceptance of the transfer of the Shares, including any tax liability associated with the representation of fair market value if the election is made pursuant to Code Section 83(b).
4.2 Withholding. In accordance with Section 11 of the Plan, Executive agrees to remit to the Company an amount sufficient to satisfy federal, state and local taxes (including the Executive’s FICA obligation) required to be withheld with respect to the vesting of the Shares, or
-2-
otherwise to satisfy such obligation as permitted under the Plan. The Company has the right to deduct from any salary or other payments to be made to Executive any federal, state or local taxes required by law to be so withheld.

Executive agrees that the Award will constitute special incentive compensation that will not be taken into account as “salary” or “compensation” or “bonus” in determining the amount of any payment under any pension, retirement, profit sharing or other remuneration plan of the Company unless so provided in such plan.
5.3 Further Assurances. The parties agree to execute such further instruments and to take such further action as may reasonably be necessary to carry out the intent of this Agreement.
5.4 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including any exhibits, is the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior oral and written understandings of the parties.
