**SEVERANCE
      AGREEMENT**




THIS
      AGREEMENT made as of the ______ day of April, 2006, by and between Pressure
      BioSciences, Inc., a Massachusetts corporation, and [______________] (the
      "Executive").





WHEREAS,
      the Board of Directors (the "Board") of the Company (as hereinafter defined)
      recognizes that the possibility of a termination without Cause (as hereinafter
      defined), and the possibility of a Change in Control (as hereinafter defined),
      can create significant distractions for its key management personnel because
      of
      the uncertainties inherent in such situations;





WHEREAS,
      the Board has determined that it is essential and in the best interest of the
      Company and its stockholders to retain the services of the Executive, in
      general, and particularly in the event of a threat or the occurrence of a Change
      in Control and to ensure his continued and full attention, dedication and
      efforts in such event without undue concern for his personal financial and
      employment security; and





WHEREAS,
      in order to induce the Executive to become an employee of the Company and to
      remain in the employ of the Company, in general, and particularly in the event
      of a threat or the occurrence of a Change in Control, the Company desires to
      enter into this Agreement with the Executive to provide the Executive with
      severance benefits in the event his employment is terminated without Cause
      or as
      a result of, or in connection with, a Change in Control, in accordance with
      the
      terms and conditions set forth herein.




NOW,
      THEREFORE, in consideration of the respective agreements of the parties

      and entities who were the beneficial owners of the Outstanding Company Common
      Stock immediately prior to such acquisition in substantially the same proportion
      as their ownership, immediately prior to such acquisition, of the Outstanding
      Company Common Stock, shall not constitute a Change in Control; or

d.  Anything
      in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, if an event that would,

      a purchase or other acquisition of the Company, directly or indirectly, by
      a
      corporation or other entity in which the Executive has a greater than ten

      and
      Assigns to expressly assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same
      manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform
      it
      if no such succession or assignment had taken place; provided, however, that
      upon any such succession or assignment that constitutes or is in connection
      with
      a Change in Control, the obligations of the Company, and its Successors and
      Assigns, under Section 2.2 of this Agreement shall terminate, and the
      obligations under the remaining Sections of this Agreement, including but not
      limited to Section 2.1, shall continue in full force and effect upon the
      Executive and the corporation or other entity acquiring the assets and business
      of the Company as contemplated within the definition of Successors and Assigns.




b.  Neither
      this Agreement nor any right or interest hereunder shall be assignable or
      transferable by the Executive, his or her beneficiaries or legal
      representatives, except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.
      This
      Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Executive's
      personal representative.




c.  In
      the
      event that a Division (or part thereof) is sold, divested, or otherwise disposed

      the Executive is offered employment by the purchaser or acquiror thereof, the
      Company shall require such purchaser or acquiror to assume, and agree to
      perform, the Company's obligations under this Agreement, in the same manner,
      and

      acquisition or purchase had taken place; provided, however, neither such
      purchaser or acquiror, nor the Company and its Successors and Assigns, shall
      be
      obligated under Section 2.2 of this Agreement, which Section 2.2 shall terminate
      upon such acquisition or purchase.

      the breach, termination or invalidity hereof, (collectively, a "Claim") shall
      be
      settled by arbitration pursuant to the rules of the American Arbitration
      Association. Any such arbitration shall be conducted by one arbitrator, with
