Form of Incentive Stock Option Agreement



 Exhibit 10.2 
 NMT MEDICAL, INC. 
 Incentive Stock Option Agreement  
 Granted Under Amended and Restated 2007 Stock Incentive Plan 
  

	1.	Grant of Option. 

 This agreement evidences the
grant by NMT Medical, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), on                     , 200     (the
“Grant Date”) to                     , an employee of the Company (the “Participant”), of an option to purchase, in whole or in
part, on the terms provided herein and in the Company’s Amended and Restated 2007 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), a total of              shares (the
“Shares”) of common stock, $0.001 par value per share, of the Company (“Common Stock”) at $             per Share. Unless earlier terminated, this option shall expire at
5:00 p.m., Eastern time, on              (the “Final Exercise Date”). 
 It is intended that the option evidenced by this agreement shall be an incentive stock option as defined in Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and any regulations promulgated thereunder (the
“Code”). Except as otherwise indicated by the context, the term “Participant”, as used in this option, shall be deemed to include any person who acquires the right to exercise this option validly under its terms. 
  

	2.	Vesting Schedule. 

 This option will become
exercisable (“vest”) as to              % of the original number of Shares on the              anniversary of
the Grant Date and as to an additional % of the original number of Shares at the end of each successive              period following the
             anniversary of the Grant Date until the              anniversary of the Grant Date. 
 The right of exercise shall be cumulative so that to the extent the option is not exercised in any period to the maximum extent permissible it shall
continue to be exercisable, in whole or in part, with respect to all Shares for which it is vested until the earlier of the Final Exercise Date or the termination of this option under Section 3 hereof or the Plan. 
  

	3.	Exercise of Option. 

 (a) Form of Exercise.
Each election to exercise this option shall be by written notice in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, signed by the Participant, and received by the Company at its principal office, accompanied by this agreement, and payment in full in
the manner provided in the Plan. The Participant may purchase less than the number of shares covered hereby, provided that no partial exercise of this option may be for any fractional share or for fewer than ten whole shares. 
 (b) Continuous Relationship with the Company Required. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 3, this option may not be exercised
unless the Participant, at the time he or she exercises this option, is, and has been at all times since the Grant Date, an employee or officer of, or consultant or advisor to, the Company or any parent or subsidiary of the Company as defined in
Section 424(e) or (f) of the Code (an “Eligible Participant”). 







 (c) Termination of Relationship with the Company. If the Participant ceases to be an Eligible
Participant for any reason, then, except as provided in paragraphs (d) and (e) below, the right to exercise this option shall terminate three months after such cessation (but in no event after the Final Exercise Date), provided
that this option shall be exercisable only to the extent that the Participant was entitled to exercise this option on the date of such cessation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Participant, prior to the Final Exercise Date, violates
the non-competition or confidentiality provisions of any employment contract, confidentiality and nondisclosure agreement or other agreement between the Participant and the Company, the right to exercise this option shall terminate immediately upon
such violation. 
 (d) Exercise Period Upon Death or Disability. If the Participant dies or becomes disabled (within the meaning of
Section 22(e)(3) of the Code) prior to the Final Exercise Date while he or she is an Eligible Participant and the Company has not terminated such relationship for “cause” as specified in paragraph (e) below, this option shall be
exercisable, within the period of one year following the date of death or disability of the Participant, by the Participant (or in the case of death by an authorized transferee), provided that this option shall be exercisable only to the
extent that this option was exercisable by the Participant on the date of his or her death or disability, and further provided that this option shall not be exercisable after the Final Exercise Date. 
 (e) Termination for Cause. If, prior to the Final Exercise Date, the Participant’s employment is terminated by the Company for Cause (as
defined below), the right to exercise this option shall terminate immediately upon the effective date of such termination of employment. If, prior to the Final Exercise Date, the Participant is given notice by the Company of the termination of his
or her employment by the Company for Cause, and the effective date of such employment termination is subsequent to the date of delivery of such notice, the right to exercise this option shall be suspended from the time of the delivery of such notice
until the earlier of (i) such time as it is determined or otherwise agreed that the Participant’s employment shall not be terminated for Cause as provided in such notice or (ii) the effective date of such termination of employment (in
which case the right to exercise this option shall, pursuant to the preceding sentence, terminate upon the effective date of such termination of employment). If the Participant is party to an employment or severance agreement with the Company that
contains a definition of “cause” for termination of employment, “Cause” shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in such agreement. Otherwise, “Cause” shall mean willful misconduct by the Participant or willful
failure by the Participant to perform his or her responsibilities to the Company (including, without limitation, breach by the Participant of any provision of any employment, consulting, advisory, nondisclosure, non-competition or other similar
agreement between the Participant and the Company), as determined by the Company, which determination shall be conclusive. The Participant shall be considered to have been discharged for Cause if the Company determines, within 30 days after the
Participant’s resignation, that discharge for cause was warranted. 
  

	4.	Tax Matters. 

 (a) Withholding. No Shares
will be issued pursuant to the exercise of this option unless and until the Participant pays to the Company, or makes provision satisfactory to the Company for payment of, any federal, state or local withholding taxes required by law to be withheld
in respect of this option.

 (b) Disqualifying Disposition. If the Participant disposes of Shares acquired upon exercise of
this option within two years from the Grant Date or one year after such Shares were acquired pursuant to exercise of this option, the Participant shall notify the Company in writing of such disposition. 
  

	5.	Nontransferability of Option. 

 This option may not
be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered by the Participant, either voluntarily or by operation of law, except by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and, during the lifetime of the Participant, this option shall be
exercisable only by the Participant. 
  

	6.	Provisions of the Plan. 

 This option is subject to
the provisions of the Plan (including the provisions relating to amendments to the Plan), a copy of which is furnished to the Participant with this option. 
 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this option to be executed under its corporate seal by its duly authorized officer. This option shall take effect as a sealed instrument.
