 RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT
(pursuant to 2009 Equity Incentive Plan)

This Restricted Stock Agreement (“Agreement”) is made and entered into as of
________, 2010, by and between SeraCare Life Sciences, Inc. (the “Company”), and
__________  (the “Recipient”).  This Agreement is and shall be subject in every
respect to the provisions of the Company’s 2009 Equity Incentive Plan, as
amended from time to time (the “Plan”), which is incorporated herein by
reference and made a part hereof.  The Recipient acknowledges that this
Agreement shall be subject to all the terms and provisions of the Plan and
agrees that (a) in the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and those
of the Plan, the latter shall prevail, and (b) all decisions under and
interpretations of the Plan by the Board or the Committee shall be final,
binding and conclusive upon the Recipient and his or her heirs and legal
representatives.
 
In consideration of the mutual promises and covenants contained in this
Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as
follows:
 
1.           Grant of Shares.  Upon the execution of this Agreement, the Company
shall issue to the Recipient, in consideration of the Recipient’s service to the
Company, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement,
___________ shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share, of the Company
(“Common Stock”).  Such shares, together with any securities of the Company that
may be issued in exchange for or in respect of the shares, whether by way of
stock split, stock dividend, combination of shares, reclassification,
recapitalization, reorganization or any other means, shall be referred to herein
as the “Shares.”
 
2.           Forfeiture of Unvested Shares.  In the event that the Recipient
ceases to be an employee of the Company for any reason or no reason, with or
without cause (“Termination”), all of the Shares that have not become “Vested
Shares” as of the date of Termination in accordance with the vesting schedule
set forth in Exhibit A hereto (any such shares, “Unvested Shares”) and all
rights therein shall immediately be transferred to the Company pursuant to
Section 3 below, and as of the date of Termination the Recipient shall have no
further rights with respect to such Shares.
 
3.           Transfer of Unvested Shares to Company.

(a)           The Recipient acknowledges and agrees that any certificate or
other document evidencing any Shares shall be held by the Company until such
Shares become Vested Shares.  Promptly after any Shares become Vested Shares,
the Company shall issue to the Recipient a certificate or other document
evidencing such Vested Shares.  The Recipient shall execute and deliver to the
Company such number of stock assignments as and when the Company shall request,
duly endorsed in blank, in the form requested by the Company.  Upon Termination,
the Unvested Shares shall be transferred to the Company, and the certificates or
other documents evidencing the Unvested Shares shall be cancelled.

 
 

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

 

(b)           From and after the date of Termination,  the Company shall not pay
any dividend to the Recipient on account of such Unvested Shares or permit the
Recipient to exercise any of the privileges or rights as a stockholder with
respect to the Unvested Shares, but shall, in so far as permitted by law, treat
the Company as the owner of such Unvested Shares.

(c)           No amount shall be payable to the Recipient with respect to
Unvested Shares transferred to the Company pursuant to this Section 3.

4.           Restrictions on Transfer of Unvested Shares.  The Recipient shall
not sell, assign, transfer, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of,
voluntarily or involuntarily, by operation of law or otherwise (collectively
“Transfer”) any Unvested Shares or any interest therein, except for Transfers to
the Company pursuant to Section 3.

5.           Effect of Prohibited Transfer.  The Company shall not be required
(a) to transfer on its books any of the Shares which shall have been Transferred
in violation of any of the provisions set forth in this Agreement, or (b) to
treat as owner of such Shares or to pay dividends to any transferee to whom any
such Shares shall have been so Transferred.

6.           Restrictive Legend.  All certificates representing Shares shall
bear a legend which refers to the restrictions imposed by this Agreement and the
Plan and any applicable state or federal securities laws or regulations, and
which legend is otherwise in such form as the Company may deem appropriate.

7.           Adjustments for Recapitalizations and Other Transactions.  The
Shares issued pursuant to this Agreement shall be subject to adjustment upon
changes in recapitalizations or other transactions pursuant to the provisions of
Section 7(b) of the Plan.
 
8.           Taxes.  The Recipient understands and agrees that he or she shall
be fully liable for any income and employment taxes owed by him or her with
regard to issuance of the Shares, whether owed at the time of transfer pursuant
to the Recipient having made an election under Section 83(b) of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (an “83(b) Election”), or at the time that the
Shares vest pursuant to the vesting schedule set forth at Exhibit A hereto.  The
Company’s obligations to issue the Shares shall be subject to the Recipient’s
satisfaction of any federal, state and local income and employment tax
withholding requirements.
 
Unless otherwise determined by the Board or the Committee, any tax withholding
obligation shall be satisfied by (i) the Company withholding from the Shares a
number of shares of Common Stock having an aggregate fair market value on the
date the withholding is effected equal to the minimum amount of such tax
withholding obligation, or (ii) the Recipient delivering to the Company a number
of shares of Common Stock having an aggregate fair market value on the date the
withholding is effected equal to the minimum amount of such tax withholding
obligation.  For purposes of such withholding, the fair market value of the
Common Stock shall equal the closing price of the Common Stock on the Nasdaq
Capital Market (or such other national securities exchange on which the Common
Stock shall then be listed).  It is intended that any withholding or delivery to
the Company of shares of Common Stock to satisfy any such tax withholding
obligation shall be exempt from the application of Section 16(b) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, by virtue of Rule 16b-3(e)
thereunder.

of the date of execution of this Agreement.

of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other
