 HAND DELIVERED 
 Dear Mike, 
 STERIS Corporation
recognizes that you will be required to play a significant role in the ongoing financial leadership of the Company during the CFO Transition (“Transition”). Based on your support and involvement, the Company considers it appropriate that
you should be rewarded during the Transition and at its successful conclusion. 
 The following paragraphs set out what is expected of you and what you
should expect to receive in return. 
 During the Transition you will report directly to me. In addition to your regular duties, during the Transition you
will: 
  

	 	•	 	 Act as the Company’s Principal Accounting Officer 


  

	 	•	 	 Participate in the Erie Transition to Mexico Steering Committee 


  

	 	•	 	 Act as a member of the Senior Management Team 


  

	 	•	 	 Be responsible for all necessary financial reporting and associated SEC filings 


  

	 	•	 	 Co-lead the Finance Organization Staff with Bill Aamoth 


 This agreement will become effective immediately. On an ongoing basis until the Transition has concluded, you and I will review the activities associated with the Transition. The duties assigned to you may be revised during those meetings
or at any other time as dictated by business needs. 
 In recognition of the increased responsibility you will assume during this Transition, your bi-weekly
base pay will be increased to $8,216.30, effective December 4, 2006. 
 If you comply fully with the terms of this letter agreement, you will also be
entitled to receive an incentive payment of up to $20,000. The actual amount will be based on your contribution toward the completion of the Transition. Any amount payable to you will be reduced by any taxes, Social Security payments and other
deductions or withholdings that STERIS is legally required to make and by any amounts you may owe STERIS. 
 The incentive will be paid within sixty
(60) days of the completion of the Transition at the discretion of STERIS and does not represent any variation to your existing terms of employment.
