This RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") is made between Arrow
International, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation (the "Company"), and the
above-named individual, a director of the Company or one of its subsidiaries
(the "Director"), to record the granting of restricted shares of the Company's
Common Stock pursuant to the Company's 2006 Directors Stock Incentive Plan (the
"Plan"). Capitalized terms used in this Agreement without definition have the
respective meanings ascribed to them in the Plan.
1. GRANT OF SHARES. In accordance with the terms of the Plan, the
Company hereby grants to the Director, subject to the terms and conditions of
the Plan and this Agreement, the above-specified number of shares of Common
Stock at the specified value and grant date subject to the restrictions set
forth in Section 2.
2. VESTING OF SHARES. The shares granted under this Agreement shall
vest on the [first] [insert other vesting period, if applicable] anniversary of
the date of grant (the "Vesting Date"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the
sale of the shares on the Vesting Date would subject the Director to liability
under Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the
shares shall vest on such date after the Vesting Date when no Section 16(b)
liability will arise on account of the sale of the shares.
In the event of a "change in control," as defined in Section 14 of the
Plan, unless a resolution of the Board adopted prior to and specifically
relating to the occurrence of such change in control provides otherwise, all
restricted shares that have not yet vested shall immediately become fully
vested. All such shares shall be distributed to the Director as soon as
reasonably practicable.
3. LEGEND. Each share certificate granted under this Agreement
shall bear the following legend:
"The sale or other transfer of the shares of stock represented
by this certificate, whether voluntary, involuntary, or by
operation of law, is subject to certain restrictions on transfer
as set forth in the Arrow International, Inc. 2006 Directors
Stock Incentive Plan and in the associated restricted stock
agreement. A copy of the Plan and such restricted stock
agreement may be obtained from Arrow International, Inc."
4. VOTING RIGHTS. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED OR REQUIRED BY LAW, AS
DETERMINED BY THE BOARD, ALL SHARES OF RESTRICTED STOCK COVERED BY THIS
AGREEMENT SHALL HAVE FULL VOTING RIGHTS AT ALL TIMES, INCLUDING DURING THE
PERIOD PRIOR TO THEIR BECOMING VESTED.
5. DIVIDENDS AND OTHER DISTRIBUTIONS. DURING THE PERIOD PRIOR TO
THE RESTRICTED SHARES BECOMING VESTED, THEY SHALL BE CREDITED WITH DIVIDENDS
PAID, BUT THE DIVIDENDS SHALL BE ACCUMULATED AND RETAINED BY THE COMPANY UNTIL
THE SHARES VEST AS PROVIDED IN SECTION 10.

6. TRANSFERABILITY. The restricted shares shall become
transferable, subject to restrictions under applicable securities laws, only
when they become vested in accordance with Section 2. At that time, the Company
shall take such steps as may be appropriate to delete the restrictive stock
legend set forth in Section 3.
7. CONSEQUENCES OF TERMINATION OF BOARD SERVICE. All restricted
shares that have not vested on the date the Director terminates service on the
Board for any reason shall be forfeited along with the accumulated dividends on
those shares.
8. SECTION 83(B) ELECTION. The Director may elect, within 30 days
of the date of grant pursuant to Section 83(b) of the Code, to include in his or
her gross income the fair market value of the shares covered by this Agreement
in the taxable year of grant. If he or she makes this election, the Director
shall promptly notify the Company by submitting to the Company, in the manner
specified by the Board, a copy of the statement filed with the Internal Revenue
Service in which the Director makes such election.
9. RESTRICTED SHARE CERTIFICATES TO BE HELD BY THE COMPANY. Unless
otherwise agreed, certificates for some or all unvested shares shall be held by
the Company until such shares have become vested.
10. RIGHTS AS A SHAREHOLDER. Until such time as the restricted
shares vest, all dividends payable on such shares shall be held in by the
Company [and credited with 5% simple interest]. The accumulated dividends [and
interest] shall be paid to the Director as soon as reasonably practicable after
the underlying shares vest. If the underlying shares do not vest, all shares
obtained from the reinvested dividends shall be forfeited. Except for the
dividend restriction and the other restrictions set forth elsewhere in this
Agreement and in the Plan, the Director shall possess all the rights of a holder
of Common Stock with respect to all restricted stock awarded pursuant to this
Agreement.
11. GENERAL RESTRICTIONS. The Company shall not be required to
deliver any certificate upon the vesting of restricted shares until it has been
furnished with such opinion, representation or other document as it may
reasonably deem necessary, in its discretion, to ensure compliance with any law
or regulation of the Securities and Exchange Commission or any other
governmental authority having jurisdiction over the Company, the Director, or
the shares granted under the Plan or any interests granted thereunder. This
Agreement is also subject to the requirement that if at any time the Board shall
determine, in its discretion, that the listing, registration or qualification of
the restricted shares (or the interests evidenced hereby) subject to this
Agreement upon the Nasdaq National Market System or any securities exchange or
automated quotation system, or under any state or federal law, or the consent or
approval of any governmental regulatory body, is necessary or desirable as a
condition of, or in connection with, the granting of the restricted shares
hereunder (or the interests evidenced hereby), the restricted shares will not
vest or be delivered to the Director unless such listing, registration,
qualification, consent or approval shall have been effected or obtained free of
any conditions not acceptable to the Board in the exercise of its reasonable
judgment.
12. ADJUSTMENT OF SHARES. In the event of any change in the Common
Stock by reason of any stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization,
reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, combination, exchange of
shares, or rights offering to purchase shares of Common Stock at a price
substantially below fair market value, or of any similar change affecting the
Common Stock, the number and kind of shares subject to this Agreement and the
purchase price per share shall be appropriately adjusted consistent with such
change in such manner as the Board may deem equitable to prevent substantial
dilution or enlargement of the rights granted to, or available for, the Director
hereunder. Any such adjustment shall be final and binding on the Director.
13. NO RIGHTS TO BOARD SERVICE. Neither the Plan nor this Agreement
shall confer upon the Director any right with respect to continuance, nomination
or re-election as a director of the Company or any subsidiary nor shall they
interfere in any way with the right of the Company or any subsidiary on whose
board of directors the Director sits to terminate the Director's service as a
director at any time, with or without cause.
14. COORDINATION WITH PLAN. The Director hereby acknowledges receipt
of a copy of the Plan and agrees to be bound by all of the terms and provisions
thereof, including any which may conflict with those contained in this
Agreement. Capitalized terms used in this Agreement shall have the meaning given
to such terms under the Plan.
15. NOTICES. All notices to the Company shall be in writing and sent
to the Company's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer at the Company's offices,
0000 Xxxxxxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxxx 00000. Notices to the Director shall
be addressed to the Director at the Director's address as it appears in the
Company's records.
