semi-monthly. As an incentive it is anticipated that you will receive 10,000 shares of TissueLink Medical, Inc. Incentive Stock Options at fair market value, subject to approval by the Board of Directors and pursuant to the TissueLink 1999 Amended
and Restated Stock Incentive Plan. In addition, you will be eligible to participate in the annual bonus plan with an opportunity to earn up to 12.5% of your salary in cash and a grant of Incentive Stock Options based on attainment of a combination
of company and personal milestones. Each year, the number of options available to be earned under the bonus plan will be established by the Board of Directors. 
 It is expected that you will relocate to the greater Seacoast of New Hampshire area within 1 year of your start date. You are eligible for relocation assistance in accordance with the company’s standard Director Level Relocation

offer is not to be considered a contract guaranteeing employment for any specific duration. As an at-will employee, both you and the company have the right to terminate your employment at any time. 
 Upon your first day of work, you will be required to complete an I-9 Form documenting your eligibility to work; and a Confidentiality Agreement. In accordance with
