Exhibit 10.30



Kewaunee Scientific Corporation

Executive Severance Pay Policy

Effective Date: December 12, 2005

|Revised: | N/A
|-------- | ---



PURPOSE



Severance pay benefits are intended to provide
support for Kewaunee Scientific Corporation (the Company) Executive Associates who become unemployed as a result of management action. The philosophy of this policy is to ensure that management does not take lightly the separation of any
Company Associate, whether because of performance deficiencies or Company action. The policy is designed to be fair to all affected Associates and even beneficial to those Associates who choose to sign a release and waiver of claims agreement.
Release and waiver agreements are strongly encouraged in this policy because the Company needs to protect its interests in exchange for the additional consideration provided to Associates.



SCOPE



The Executive Severance Pay Policy applies to active, regular, full-time, non-union, U.S. exempt salary Associates, in salary grade 19 or
higher, reporting directly to the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company.



| | A. | Director of Human Resources
| | -- | ---------------------------



The Director of Human Resources is responsible for administering the Severance Pay Policy in a way that is consistent with both the philosophy and the
mechanics of the policy, as well as entering the proper codes into the Companys HRIS and payroll systems.



| | B. | Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors
| | -- | ------------------------------------------------



The Compensation Committee is the Plan Administrator of the Executive Severance Pay Policy and is responsible for final interpretation of the Policy. Any
changes to the Policy must be approved by the Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors. The Associates covered under this policy shall be notified within ten (10) days of any such changes.



PROVISIONS



Eligibility



All active, regular, full-time, non-union, U.S. exempt salary Associates, in salary grade 19 or higher, reporting directly to the President and Chief Executive Officer of
the Company.



Severance Benefit Overview



Consistent with the Companys policy, severance benefits are intended to provide
support for Executive Associates who become unemployed as a result of a qualifying event. Two levels of benefits, standard and enhanced, are available under the severance program to Executive Associates who meet the eligibility and participation
requirements. For an Associate to receive the enhanced benefits, he or she must sign the Release and Waiver Agreement described below. Severance payment(s) are subject to applicable taxes and withholdings, and are not earned or deferred

Qualifying Events



A qualifying event is a termination of employment under circumstances that are typically management-initiated and not related to the Associates own action(s).
Examples of such events include, but are not limited to, reductions-in-force, plant closings, and major restructuring efforts. The following are examples of circumstances that would NOT constitute qualifying events. This list is not intended to be
all-inclusive.

Release and Waiver of Claims Agreements



The Release and Waiver Agreement contains a release of all legal claims, including employment discrimination claims under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, the Civil Rights Act of 1964 as amended, the Equal Pay Act, and the
Americans with Disabilities Act, against the Company. Release and waiver of claims agreements are a critical element in the Severance Pay Policy and, thus, should be used in instances involving qualifying events to help limit litigation challenging
such Company action. Thus, for an Associate to receive the enhanced severance pay and benefits outlined in this Policy, he or she must sign the release and waiver agreement.



All release agreements must be executed in accordance with the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act of 1990. Please be advised that the
legal requirements for release agreements vary depending on the nature of the qualifying event and the population of Associates involved. Consequently, the Director of Human Resources must review and approve all release and waiver agreements prior
to distributing any release agreements.



Associates who choose not to sign the
release and waiver of claims agreement will be eligible for the standard severance payment as designated below, COBRA coverage for up to 18 months, and vested/unused vacation earned prior to the termination date. They will not be eligible for any
other benefits provided for in this Policy.



If an Associate is terminated by
action of the Company as described above, the Associate will be paid a severance payment(s) according to one of the schedules below, depending on whether he or she signs a release and waiver agreement. To receive enhanced benefits, the Associate
must sign, submit, and not revoke the release agreement that provides additional consideration for signing a release of all potential claims and provides the Company certain protections authorized by law.



Associates must be advised to consult with an attorney prior to
executing the release and waiver agreement described in this Policy.



Release and waiver agreements are legal documents and may NOT be altered for any reason without prior approval from the Director of Human Resources.

When a severance package is offered to an Associate, he or she will receive a release and waiver agreement that includes
the following provisions:



| |  |  | Review period of 45 days
| | - |  | ------------------------

| |  |  | Revocation period of 7 days
| | - |  | ---------------------------

| |  |  | Attachment A to the release and waiver agreement (listing in accordance with the OWBPA)
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | Review Period
|- |  | -------------



The Associate may sign and return the agreement at any time within forty-five (45) days of receipt. Signed agreements should be returned to the
Director of Human Resources.



| |  | Revocation Right
|- |  | ----------------



If the Associate signs the release and waiver agreement, he or she may revoke it in writing within seven (7) days after it is signed and returned.
Revocations must also be returned to the Director of Human Resources and are not effective unless received within the seven-day period. Once the Associate has signed and returned the release and waiver agreement and the period for revocation has
expired, he or she is entitled to begin receiving the enhanced benefits. This seven-day revocation period cannot be shortened.



Severance Pay



Severance payments are calculated at the Associates base compensation rate at the time of his or her termination of employment. Base compensation does not include bonuses, overtime pay, commissions, fees,
incentives, or automobile allowances.



Severance pay is based on length
of service from the most recent hire date to the date the Associate is terminated because of the qualifying event. Associates with less than two full years of service will receive the minimum payment as applicable.



The Company reserves the right to amend or completely terminate this Policy for any or all
groups of Associates at any time, pursuant to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).



Standard Severance Payment (Without a Signed Release and Waiver Agreement)



Eligible Associates who choose notto sign the release and waiver of claims agreement are eligible for the Companys standard severance plan as
indicated below, COBRA for up to 18 months, and will be paid for any vested/unused vacation earned prior to the termination date. They will not be eligible for any other benefits provided for in this policy.

Continuation of Current Benefits
(only applicable with a signed release and waiver of claims agreement)



| |  |  | Medical and Dental
| | - |  | ------------------



In consideration of the Associate executing the release and waiver agreement, and in addition to the severance pay benefits, if the Associate is
participating in the Companys group medical and dental plan, he or she may continue to participate in the applicable group plans, pursuant to those plans terms until the end of the month in which he or she receives any separation pay.



The Companys and the Associates contributions for
these benefits are the same as the contributions for active Associates.



The Company reserves the right to modify or terminate any group medical and dental insurance plan at any time. The Company also reserves the right to change the required participant contributions for any group medical
and dental insurance plan at any time.



| |  |  | Optional COBRA Continuation Coverage
| | - |  | ------------------------------------



After the Associates insurance continuation has ceased, he or she will be eligible to elect optional COBRA coverage for 18 months. Associates will
receive an application for COBRA coverage from the COBRA administrator shortly after his or her termination date.



Benefits That End



In all circumstances, regardless of whether a release and waiver agreement is signed, all other benefits will cease as of the last day of employment consistent with Plan
documents.



Other Considerations



| |  |  | Workers Compensation
| | - |  | ---------------------



| |  | If the Associate is terminated immediately due to a qualifying event, severance benefits shall be paid as outlined in this Policy.
| | - | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | If the Associate is terminated due to a qualifying event only after the Company has satisfied a workers compensation obligation, severance benefits will be paid at termination
as outlined in this Policy, except that such benefits will include service only through the date at which the Associate would otherwise have been terminated.
| | - | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | If workers compensation has previously been denied by the Company and in legal dispute, and if the Associate is terminated due to a qualifying event, severance
| | - | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

benefits should be paid at termination as outlined in this Policy. However, prior to paying severance,
it is important to confer with legal counsel handling the matter to consider any ramifications to the Companys legal strategy.



| |  |  | Educational Reimbursement
| | - |  | -------------------------

The
Company will provide education reimbursement per the policy guidelines.



| |  |  | Medical Plan Option  With signed release and waiver of claims agreement
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------

If an Associate is participating in the Companys group medical and dental plan, since the loss of job is a life event, the
Associate may make an immediate change in their coverage level or medical plan option. The Associate should advise the Director of Human Resources of any change in coverage.



Reemployment



It is understood that the separated Associate will make reasonable efforts to secure employment during the separation pay period. Should an Associate become reemployed by
the Company or any other employer before receiving the full separation pay allowance to which he or she is entitled, no payments will be made beyond his or her date of reemployment. Medical insurance, which was in effect, will be in effect until the
end of the month during which he or she received any separation pay.



Method of Payment



| |  |  | Separation payments will be made based on an Associates normal payroll schedule.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Concurrent with the first separation check, and all subsequent checks, the separated Associate will be mailed a form stating, I am currently unemployed. This form must
be signed, dated, and returned to the Company prior to the distribution of the next scheduled check. This process will be followed until the separated Associate states he or she has employment, or the separation pay per the schedule has been
exhausted.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Claims Procedure



If an Associate is separated from employment and believes that he or she is entitled to
additional benefits, then the Associate should send a written notice of claim to the Director of Human Resources. The Human Resources Director must receive this notice within 90 days from the separation from employment. Claims received more than 90
days after separation will automatically be denied.



If the claim is properly
submitted, the Director of Human Resources needs to promptly send this claim to the Plan Administrator for review. The Company will send a written decision to a claimant within 30 days of receipt of the claim. The decision of the Plan Administrator
will be final. The Plan Administrator shall exercise his or her powers in a uniform and nondiscriminatory manner.



The Plan Administrator retains the discretion to reduce the Severance Allowance, or any other settlements or relocation subsidies, to recover any amounts the Associate
owes to the Company. By participating in this program, the Associate waives all notices and demands in connection with such offsets and consents thereto.
