Dear Michael:

In recognition of your past service to Misonix and as consideration for your
future service to Misonix, the Board of Directors of Misonix has authorized
a  severance payment payable to you upon a termination of your employment by
virtue of a change of control. Accordingly, we hereby agree with you as follows:

 
1.
(a) After a Change in Control of Misonix (as defined under subparagraphs 2 (b)
and (c) below), you shall be entitled to a one-time additional compensation in
an amount equal to a payment of twelve (12) months annual base salary. Such
additional compensation will be paid to you in a lump sum within sixty (60) days
after the date such Change in Control of Misonix takes effect and your
employment by Misonix or the acquiring company ceases (i) involuntarily on your
part or (ii) voluntarily on your part if you have suffered (x) a significant
diminution in your material duties and responsibilities without your express
prior written consent or (y) a reduction in your annual base salary.

 
(b) A “Change in Control of Misonix” shall be deemed to have occurred in the
event (i) any person (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), or group of
such "persons", without the consent of the Board of Directors of Misonix, is or
becomes a "beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act),
directly or indirectly, of securities of Misonix representing 50% or more of the
combined voting power of our then outstanding securities, or (ii) of a merger,
consolidation or other combination the result of which is the ownership by
shareholders of Misonix of less than 60% of the voting securities of the
resulting or acquiring entity having the power to elect a majority of the Board
of Directors of such entity.

group of persons which includes you, acquiring, directly or indirectly, 30% or
more of any class of voting securities of Misonix, or (ii) if you continue in
the employ of Misonix or the acquiring company more than nine (9) months
following the occurrence of an event which would otherwise constitute a Change
of Control of Misonix.
