Sixth Amended and Restated Employee Incentive Plan

 Exhibit 10.1 
 SIXTH AMENDED AND RESTATED 
 KENSEY NASH CORPORATION 
 EMPLOYEE INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN 
 ARTICLE I 
 ESTABLISHMENT 
 1.1 Purpose. The Sixth Amended and Restated Kensey Nash Corporation Employee Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Plan”), which amends and restates the Fifth Amended and Restated Kensey Nash Corporation
Employee Incentive Compensation Plan, is hereby established by Kensey Nash Corporation (“Company”). The purpose of the Plan is to promote the overall financial objectives of the Company and its stockholders by motivating those persons
selected to participate in the Plan to achieve long-term growth in stockholder equity in the Company and by retaining the association of those individuals who are instrumental in achieving this growth. The Plan is intended to qualify certain
compensation awarded under the Plan for tax deductibility under Section 162(m) of the Code (as defined herein) to the extent deemed appropriate by the Committee (as defined herein). The Plan and the grant of awards hereunder are expressly
conditioned upon the Plan’s approval by the stockholders of the Company. If such approval is not obtained, then this Plan and all Awards (as defined herein) hereunder shall be null and void ab initio with respect to all Awards granted on or
after the Effective Date (as defined below). The Plan is adopted (and accordingly, the Company’s Fourth Amended and Restated Employee Incentive Compensation Plan is amended and restated), subject to stockholder approval, effective as of
December 5, 2007 (the “Effective Date”), and the Plan’s terms shall govern Awards granted hereunder (including all prior versions hereof) before, on or after the Effective Date.

	 	(m)	to determine whether and with what effect a Participant has incurred a Termination of Employment;

differ with respect to Awards granted at different times or to different Participants. 
 Any determination made by the Committee pursuant to
the provisions of the Plan shall be made in its sole discretion, and in the case of any determination relating to an Award, may be made at the time of the grant of the Award or, unless in contravention of any express term of the Plan or an
Agreement, at any time thereafter. All decisions made by the Committee pursuant to the provisions of the Plan shall be final and binding on all persons, including the Company and Participants. No determination shall be subject to de novo review if
challenged in court. 
 ARTICLE IV 
 STOCK SUBJECT TO PLAN 
 4.1 Number of Shares. Subject to the adjustment under
Section 4.6, the total number of shares of Common Stock reserved and available for distribution pursuant to Awards under the Plan shall be 4,700,000 shares of 
  

 6 

 
Common Stock authorized for issuance on the Effective Date. Shares of Common Stock available for distribution pursuant to Awards under the Plan may consist,
in whole or in part, of authorized and unissued shares or treasury shares. 
 4.2 Release of Shares. Subject to Section 7.3(e),
if any shares of Common Stock that are subject to any Award cease to be subject to an Award or are forfeited, or if any Award otherwise terminates without issuance of shares of Common Stock being made to the Participant, such shares, in the
discretion of the Committee, may again be available for distribution in connection with Awards under the Plan. Any shares (whether or not restricted) of Common Stock that the Company receives in connection with the exercise of an Award, including
the satisfaction of any tax withholding obligation, shall not again be available for Awards under the Plan. 
 4.3 Restrictions on
Shares. Shares of Common Stock issued as or in conjunction with an Award shall be subject to the terms and conditions specified herein and to such other terms, conditions and restrictions as the Committee in its discretion may determine or
provide in an Award Agreement. The Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any certificates for shares of Common Stock, cash or other property prior to (i) the listing of such shares on any stock exchange or NASDAQ (or other public
market) on which the Common Stock may then be listed (or regularly traded), (ii) the completion of any registration or qualification of such shares under Federal or state law, or any ruling or regulation of any government body which the
Committee determines to be necessary or advisable, and (iii) the satisfaction of any applicable withholding obligation in order for the Company or an Affiliate to obtain a deduction with respect to the exercise of an Award. The Company may
cause any certificate for any share of Common Stock to be delivered to be properly marked with a legend or other notation reflecting the limitations on transfer of such Common Stock as provided in this Plan or as the Committee may otherwise require.
The Committee may require any person exercising an Award to make such representations and furnish such information as it may consider appropriate in connection with the issuance or delivery of the shares of Common Stock in compliance with applicable
law or otherwise. Fractional shares shall not be delivered, but shall be rounded to the next lower whole number of shares. 
 4.4
Stockholder Rights. No person shall have any rights of a stockholder as to shares of Common Stock subject to an Award until, after proper exercise of the Award or other action required, such shares shall have been recorded on the
Company’s official stockholder records as having been issued or transferred. Upon exercise of the Award or any portion thereof, the Company will have thirty (30) days in which to issue the shares, and the Participant will not be treated as
a stockholder for any purpose whatsoever prior to such issuance. No adjustment shall be made for cash dividends or other rights for which the record date is prior to the date such shares are recorded as issued or transferred in the Company’s
official stockholder records, except as provided herein or in an Agreement. 
 4.5 Best Efforts To Register. The Company will register
under the Securities Act the Common Stock delivered or deliverable pursuant to Awards on Commission Form S-8 if available to the Company for this purpose (or any successor or alternate form that is substantially similar to that form to the extent
available to effect such registration), in accordance with the rules and regulations governing such forms, as soon after stockholder approval of the Plan as the Committee, in its sole discretion, shall deem such registration appropriate. The Company
will use its best efforts to cause the registration statement to become effective and will file such supplements and amendments to the registration statement as may be necessary to keep the registration statement in effect until the earliest of
(a) one year following the expiration of the Option Period of the last Option outstanding, (b) the date the Company is no longer a reporting company under the Exchange Act and (c) the date all Participants have disposed of all shares
delivered pursuant to any Award. The Company may delay the foregoing obligation if the Committee reasonably determines that any such registration would materially and adversely affect the Company’s interests or if there is no material benefit
to Participants. 
  

 7 

 4.6 Adjustments. In the event of any Company stock dividend, stock split, combination or exchange
of shares, recapitalization or other change in the capital structure of the Company, corporate separation or division of the Company (including, but not limited to, a split-up, spin-off, split-off or distribution to Company stockholders other than a
normal cash dividend), sale by the Company of all or a substantial portion of its assets (measured on either a stand-alone or consolidated basis), reorganization, rights offering, a partial or complete liquidation, or any other corporate
transaction, Company stock offering or event involving the Company and having an effect similar to any of the foregoing, then the Committee shall adjust or substitute, as the case may be, the number of shares of Common Stock available for Awards
under the Plan, the number of shares of Common Stock covered by outstanding Awards, the exercise price per share of outstanding Awards, the limitations set forth in Section 5.2 and performance conditions and any other characteristics or terms
of the Awards as the Committee shall deem necessary or appropriate to reflect equitably the effects of such changes to the Participants; provided, however, that the Committee may limit any such adjustment so as to maintain the deductibility of the
Awards under Code Section 162(m) and to prevent the Plan or Awards from qualifying for exemption under Code Section 409A or to prevent a violation of Code Section 409A and that any fractional shares resulting from such adjustment
shall be eliminated by rounding to the next lower whole number of shares with appropriate payment for such fractional shares as shall reasonably be determined by the Committee. 
 ARTICLE V 
 ELIGIBILITY 
 5.1 Eligibility. Except as herein provided, the persons who shall be eligible to participate in the Plan and be granted Awards shall be those
persons who are directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Company or any Affiliate of the Company, who shall be in a position, in the opinion of the Committee, to make contributions to the growth, management, protection and success of
the Company and its subsidiaries. Of those persons described in the preceding sentence, the Committee may, from time to time, select persons to be granted Awards and shall determine the terms and conditions with respect thereto. In making any such
selection and in determining the form of the Award, the Committee may give consideration to the person’s functions and responsibilities, the person’s contributions to the Company and its subsidiaries, the value of the individual’s
service to the Company and its subsidiaries and such other factors deemed relevant by the Committee. 
 5.2 Per-Person Award
Limitations. Subject to adjustment under Section 4.6, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be covered by Stock Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, Restricted Stock, Other Stock Based Awards and other Awards, in the
aggregate, granted to any one Participant during any three consecutive fiscal years of the Company shall be 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock. In addition, the maximum aggregate amount that may be paid out as Cash Incentive Awards or other cash
Awards in any fiscal year of the Company shall be $500,000. 
 ARTICLE VI 
 STOCK OPTIONS 
 6.1
General. The Committee shall have authority to grant Stock Options under the Plan at any time or from time to time. Stock Options may be granted alone or in addition to other Awards and may be either Incentive Stock Options or Nonqualified
Stock Options. A Stock Option shall entitle the Participant to receive shares of Common Stock upon exercise of such Option, subject to the Participant’s satisfaction in full of any conditions, restrictions or limitations imposed in accordance
with the Plan or an Agreement (the terms and provisions of which may differ from other Agreements), including, without limitation, payment of the Option Price. 
 6.2 Grant and Exercise. The grant of a Stock Option shall occur as of the date the Committee determines. Each Option granted under this Plan shall be evidenced by an Agreement, in a form approved by the
Committee, which shall embody the terms and conditions of such Option and which shall be subject to the 
  

 8 

 express terms and conditions set forth in the Plan. Such Agreement shall become effective upon execution by the
Participant. Only a person who is a common-law employee of the Company, any parent corporation of the Company or a subsidiary (as such terms are defined in Section 424 of the Code) on the date of grant shall be eligible to be granted an Option
which is intended to be and is an Incentive Stock Option. To the extent that any Stock Option is not designated as an Incentive Stock Option or even if so designated does not qualify as an Incentive Stock Option, it shall constitute a Nonqualified
Stock Option. Anything in the Plan to the contrary notwithstanding, no term of the Plan relating to Incentive Stock Options shall be interpreted, amended or altered, nor shall any discretion or authority granted under the Plan be exercised, so as to
disqualify the Plan under Section 422 of the Code or, without the consent of the Participant affected, to disqualify any Incentive Stock Option under such Section 422. 
 6.3 Terms and Conditions. Stock Options shall be subject to such terms and conditions as shall be determined by the Committee, including the
following: 
  

	 	(a)	Option Period. The Option Period of each Stock Option shall be fixed by the Committee; provided that no Stock Option shall be exercisable more than ten (10) years after
the date the Stock Option is granted. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to an individual who owns more than ten percent (10%) of the combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company, a corporation which is a parent
corporation of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company (each as defined in Section 424 of the Code), the Option Period shall not exceed five (5) years from the date of grant. No Option which is intended to be an Incentive Stock Option
shall be granted more than ten (10) years from the date the Plan is adopted by the Company or the date the Plan is approved by the stockholders of the Company, whichever is earlier. 

  

	 	(b)	Option Price. The Option Price per share of the Common Stock purchasable under a Stock Option shall be determined by the Committee; provided, however, that the Option Price
per share shall be not less than the Fair Market Value per share on the date the Option is granted. If such Option is intended to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option and is granted to an individual who owns or who is deemed to own stock possessing
more than ten percent (10%) of the combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company, a corporation which is a parent corporation of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company (each as defined in Section 424 of the Code), the
Option Price per share shall not be less than one hundred ten percent (110%) of such Fair Market Value per share. 

  

	 	(c)	Exercisability. Subject to Section 11.1, Stock Options shall be exercisable at such time or times and subject to such terms and conditions as shall be determined by the
Committee. If the Committee provides that any Stock Option is exercisable only in installments, the Committee may at any time waive such installment exercise provisions, in whole or in part. In addition, the Committee may at any time accelerate the
exercisability of any Stock Option. If the Committee intends that an Option be an Incentive Stock Option, the Committee may, in its discretion, provide that the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined at the Grant Date) of the Common Stock as to
which such Incentive Stock Option which is exercisable for the first time during any calendar year shall not exceed $100,000. 

  

	 	(d)	 Method of Exercise. Subject to the provisions of this Article VI, a Participant may exercise Stock Options, in whole or in part, at any time during the
Option Period by the Participant’s giving written notice of exercise on a form provided by the Committee (if available) to the Company specifying the number of shares of Common Stock subject to the Stock Option to be purchased. Such notice
shall be accompanied by payment in full of the purchase price by cash or check or such other form of payment as the Company may accept. If approved by the Committee, payment in full or in part may also be made (i) by delivering Common Stock
already owned by the Participant for a period of at least six (6) months prior to such payment and having a total Fair Market Value on the date of such delivery equal to the 

  

 9 

	 	 
Option Price; (ii) by the execution and delivery of a full recourse promissory note or other full recourse evidence of indebtedness (and any security
agreement thereunder) satisfactory to the Committee and permitted in accordance with Section 6.3(e); (iii) by authorizing the Company to retain shares of Common Stock which would otherwise be issuable upon exercise of the Option having a
total Fair Market Value on the date of delivery equal to the Option Price; (iv) by the delivery of cash or the extension of credit by a broker-dealer to whom the Participant has submitted a notice of exercise or otherwise indicated an intent to
exercise an Option (in accordance with Part 220, Chapter II, Title 12 of the Code of Federal Regulations, so-called “cashless” exercise); or (v) by any combination of the foregoing. If payment of the Option Price of a Nonqualified
Stock Option is made in whole or in part in the form of Restricted Stock, the number of shares of Common Stock to be received upon such exercise that is equal to the number of shares of Restricted Stock used for payment of the Option Price shall be
subject to the same forfeiture restrictions to which such Restricted Stock was subject, unless otherwise determined by the Committee. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option, the right to make a payment in the form of already owned shares of Common
Stock of the same class as the Common Stock subject to the Stock Option may be authorized only at the time the Stock Option is granted. No shares of Common Stock shall be issued until full payment therefor, as determined by the Committee, has been
made. Subject to any forfeiture restrictions that may apply if a Stock Option is exercised using Restricted Stock, a Participant shall have all of the rights of a stockholder of the Company holding the class of Common Stock that is subject to such
Stock Option (including, if applicable, the right to vote the shares and the right to receive dividends) when the Participant has given written notice of exercise, has paid in full for such shares and such shares have been recorded on the
Company’s official stockholder records as having been issued or transferred. 

  

	 	(e)	Company Loan or Guarantee. Upon the exercise of any Option and subject to the pertinent Agreement, the discretion of the Committee and applicable law, the Company may, at the
request of the Participant: 

  

	 	(i)	lend to the Participant, on a full recourse basis, an amount equal to such portion of the Option Price as the Committee may determine; or 

  

	 	(ii)	guarantee a loan obtained by the Participant on a full recourse basis from a third-party for the purpose of tendering the Option Price. 

 The remaining terms and conditions of any loan or guarantee, including the interest rate and any security interest thereunder, shall be determined by the
Committee, except that (1) the term of any loan may not exceed twenty-four (24) months and (2) no extension of credit or guarantee shall obligate the Company for an amount to exceed the lesser of the aggregate Fair Market Value per
share of the Common Stock on the date of exercise, less the par value of the shares of Common Stock to be purchased upon the exercise of the Award, or the amount permitted under applicable laws or the regulations and rules of the Federal Reserve
Board and any other governmental agency having jurisdiction. 
  

	 	(f)	Non-transferability of Options. Except as provided herein or in an Agreement, no Stock Option or interest therein shall be transferable by the Participant other than by will
or by the laws of descent and distribution, and all Stock Options shall be exercisable during the Participant’s lifetime only by the Participant. If and to the extent transferability is permitted by Rule 16b-3 or does not result in liability to
any Participant and except as otherwise provided by an Agreement, every Option granted hereunder shall be freely transferable, but only if such transfer is consistent with the use of Form S-8 (or the Committee’s waiver of such condition) and
consistent with an Award’s intended status as an Incentive Stock Option (as applicable). 

  

 10 

 6.4 Termination by Reason of Death. Unless otherwise provided in an Agreement or determined by the
Committee, if a Participant incurs a Termination of Employment due to death, any unexpired and unexercised Stock Option held by such Participant shall thereafter be fully exercisable for a period of ninety (90) days following the date of the
appointment of a Representative (or such other period or no period as the Committee may specify) or until the expiration of the Option Period, whichever period is the shorter. 
 6.5 Termination by Reason of Disability. Unless otherwise provided in an Agreement or determined by the Committee, if a Participant incurs a
Termination of Employment due to a Disability, any unexpired and unexercised Stock Option held by such Participant shall thereafter be fully exercisable by the Participant for the one (1) year period (or such other period or no period as the
Committee may specify) immediately following the date of such Termination of Employment or until the expiration of the Option Period, whichever period is shorter, and the Participant’s death at any time following such Termination of Employment
due to Disability shall not affect the foregoing. In the event of Termination of Employment by reason of Disability, if an Incentive Stock Option is exercised after the expiration of the exercise periods that apply for purposes of Section 422
of the Code, such Stock Option will thereafter be treated as a Nonqualified Stock Option. 
 6.6 Other Termination. Unless otherwise
provided in an Agreement or determined by the Committee, if a Participant incurs a Termination of Employment which is a Retirement, or the Termination of Employment is involuntary on the part of the Participant (but is not due to death or Disability
or with Cause), any Stock Option held by such Participant shall thereupon terminate, except that such Stock Option, to the extent then exercisable, may be exercised for the lesser of the ninety (90) day period commencing with the date of such
Termination of Employment or until the expiration of the Option Period. Unless otherwise provided in an Agreement or determined by the Committee, if a Participant incurs a Termination of Employment which is either (a) voluntary on the part of
the Participant (and is not a Retirement) or (b) with Cause, the Option shall terminate immediately. The death or Disability of a Participant after a Termination of Employment otherwise provided herein shall not extend the time permitted to
exercise an Option. 
 ARTICLE VII 
 STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS 
 7.1 General. The Committee shall have authority to grant
Stock Appreciation Rights under the Plan at any time or from time to time. Subject to the Participant’s satisfaction in full of any conditions, restrictions or limitations imposed in accordance with the Plan or an Agreement, a Stock
Appreciation Right shall entitle the Participant to surrender to the Company the Stock Appreciation Right and to be paid therefor in shares of the Common Stock, cash or a combination thereof as herein provided, the amount described in
Section 7.3(b). 
 7.2 Grant. Stock Appreciation Rights may be granted in conjunction with all or part of any Stock Option
granted under the Plan, in which case the exercise of the Stock Appreciation Right shall require the cancellation of a corresponding portion of the Stock Option, and the exercise of a Stock Option shall result in the cancellation of a corresponding
portion of the Stock Appreciation Right. Such rights may be granted only at the time of grant of such Stock Option. A Stock Appreciation Right may also be granted on a stand-alone basis. The grant of a Stock Appreciation Right shall occur as of the
date the Committee determines. Each Stock Appreciation Right granted under this Plan shall be evidenced by an Agreement, which shall embody the terms and conditions of such Stock Appreciation Right and which shall be subject to the terms and
conditions set forth in this Plan. 
 7.3 Terms and Conditions. Stock Appreciation Rights shall be subject to such terms and
conditions as shall be determined by the Committee, including the following: 
  

 11 

	 	(a)	Period and Exercise. The term of a Stock Appreciation Right shall be established by the Committee in accordance with this Section 7.3(a). If granted in conjunction with
a Stock Option, the Stock Appreciation Right shall have a term which is the same as the Option Period and shall be exercisable only at such time or times and to the extent the related Stock Option would be exercisable in accordance with the
provisions of Article VI; provided, however, that the term of the Stock Appreciation Right shall not exceed five years from the Grant Date of such Stock Appreciation Right. A Stock Appreciation Right which is granted on a stand-alone basis shall be
for such period and shall be exercisable at such times and to the extent provided in an Agreement; provided, however, that the term of the Stock Appreciation Right shall not exceed five years from the Grant Date of such Stock Appreciation Right.
Stock Appreciation Rights shall be exercised by the Participant’s giving written notice of exercise on a form provided by the Committee (if available) to the Company specifying the portion of the Stock Appreciation Right to be exercised.

  

	 	(b)	Amount. Upon the exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right granted in conjunction with a Stock Option, a Participant shall be entitled to receive an amount in cash, shares of
Common Stock or both as determined by the Committee or as otherwise permitted in an Agreement equal in value to the excess of the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock over the Option Price per share of Common Stock specified in the related
Agreement multiplied by the number of shares in respect of which the Stock Appreciation Right is exercised; provided, however, that the Option Price may not be less than the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on the date the Stock
Appreciation Right is granted. In the case of a Stock Appreciation Right granted on a stand-alone basis, the Agreement shall specify the value to be used in lieu of the Option Price per share of Common Stock; provided, however, that such value may
not be less than the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on the date the Stock Appreciation Right is granted. The aggregate Fair Market Value per share of the Common Stock shall be determined as of the date of exercise of such Stock
Appreciation Right. 

  

	 	(c)	Non-transferability of Stock Appreciation Rights. Stock Appreciation Rights shall be transferable only when and to the extent that a Stock Option would be transferable under
the Plan unless otherwise provided in an Agreement. 

  

	 	(d)	Termination. A Stock Appreciation Right shall terminate at such time as a Stock Option would terminate under the Plan, unless otherwise provided in an Agreement.

  

	 	(e)	Effect on Shares Under the Plan. Upon the exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right, the Stock Option or part thereof to which such Stock Appreciation Right is related shall be
deemed to have been exercised for the purpose of the limitation set forth in Section 4.2 on the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued under the Plan, but only to the extent of the number of shares of Common Stock covered by the Stock
Appreciation Right at the time of exercise based on the value of the Stock Appreciation Right at such time. 

  

	 	(f)	Incentive Stock Option. A Stock Appreciation Right granted in tandem with an Incentive Stock Option shall not be exercisable unless the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock
on the date of exercise exceeds the Option Price. In no event shall any amount paid pursuant to the Stock Appreciation Right exceed the difference between the Fair Market Value on the date of exercise and the Option Price. 

ARTICLE VIII 
 RESTRICTED STOCK 
 8.1 General. The Committee shall have authority to grant Restricted Stock under the Plan at
any time or from time to time. Shares of Restricted Stock may be awarded either alone or in addition to other Awards 
  

 12 

 
granted under the Plan. The Committee shall determine the persons to whom and the time or times at which grants of Restricted Stock will be awarded, the
number of shares of Restricted Stock to be awarded to any Participant, the time or times within which such Awards may be subject to forfeiture and any other terms and conditions of the Awards. Each Award shall be confirmed by, and be subject to the
terms of, an Agreement. The Committee may condition the grant of Restricted Stock upon the attainment of specified performance goals by the Participant or by the Company or an Affiliate (including a division or department of the Company or an
Affiliate) for or within which the Participant is primarily employed or upon such other factors or criteria (such as length of tenure) as the Committee shall determine. The provisions of Restricted Stock Awards need not be the same with respect to
any Participant. 
 8.2 Awards and Certificates. Notwithstanding the limitations on issuance of shares of Common Stock otherwise
provided in the Plan, each Participant receiving an Award of Restricted Stock shall be issued a certificate in respect of such shares of Restricted Stock. Such certificate shall be registered in the name of such Participant and shall bear an
appropriate legend referring to the terms, conditions, and restrictions applicable to such Award as determined by the Committee. The Committee may require that the certificates evidencing such shares be held in custody by the Company until the
restrictions thereon shall have lapsed and that, as a condition of any Award of Restricted Stock, the Participant shall have delivered a stock power, endorsed in blank, relating to the Common Stock covered by such Award. 
 8.3 Terms and Conditions. Shares of Restricted Stock shall be subject to the following terms and conditions: 
  

	 	(a)	Limitations on Transferability. Subject to the provisions of the Plan and the Agreement, during a period set by the Committee commencing with the date of such Award (the
“Restriction Period”), the Participant shall not be permitted to sell, assign, transfer, pledge or otherwise encumber any interest in shares of Restricted Stock. 

  

	 	(b)	Rights. Except as provided in Section 8.3(a), the Participant shall have, with respect to the shares of Restricted Stock, all of the rights of a stockholder of the
Company holding the class of Common Stock that is the subject of the Restricted Stock, including, if applicable, the right to vote the shares and the right to receive any cash dividends; provided, however, that any cash dividends on the class of
Common Stock that is the subject of the Restricted Stock shall be automatically reinvested in additional Restricted Stock, and any dividends on the class of Common Stock that is the subject of the Restricted Stock payable in Common Stock shall be
paid in the form of Restricted Stock of the same class as the Common Stock on which such dividend was paid. 

  

	 	(c)	Acceleration. Based on service, performance by the Participant or by the Company or an Affiliate, including any division or department for which the Participant is employed,
or such other factors or criteria as the Committee may determine, the Committee may provide for the lapse of restrictions in installments and may accelerate the vesting of all or any part of any Award and waive the restrictions for all or any part
of such Award. 

  

	 	(d)	Forfeiture. Unless otherwise provided in an Agreement or determined by the Committee, if the Participant incurs a Termination of Employment during the Restriction Period due
to death or Disability, the restrictions shall lapse and the Participant shall be fully vested in the Restricted Stock. Unless otherwise provided in an Agreement, upon a Participant’s Termination of Employment for any reason during the
Restriction Period other than death or Disability, all shares of Restricted Stock still subject to restriction shall be forfeited by the Participant, except the Committee shall have the discretion to waive in whole or in part any or all remaining
restrictions with respect to any or all of such Participant’s shares of Restricted Stock. 

  

 13 

	 	(e)	Delivery. If and when the Restriction Period expires without a prior forfeiture of the Restricted Stock subject to such Restriction Period, unlegended certificates for such
shares shall be delivered to the Participant. 

 ARTICLE IX 
 OTHER AWARDS 
 9.1 Bonus
Stock and Awards In Lieu of Obligations. The Committee is authorized to grant Common Stock as a bonus, or to grant Common Stock or other Awards in lieu of Company obligations to pay cash or deliver other property under other plans or
compensatory arrangements, provided that, in the case of Participants subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, the amount of such grants remains within the discretion of the Committee to the extent necessary to ensure that acquisition of
Common Stock or other Awards are exempt from liability under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act. Common Stock or Awards granted hereunder shall be subject to such other terms as shall be determined by the Committee and shall be paid to the
Participant no later than March 15 of the year following the calendar year in which such Common Stock or Awards are granted and vested. 
 9.2 Other Stock-Based Awards. The Committee is authorized, subject to limitations under applicable law, including, but not limited to, Section 409A of the Code, to grant to Participants such other Awards that may be denominated
or payable in, valued in whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise based on, or related to, Common Stock, as deemed by the Committee to be consistent with the purposes of the Plan, including, without limitation, convertible or exchangeable debt
securities, other rights convertible or exchangeable into Common Stock, purchase rights for Common Stock, Awards with value and payment contingent upon performance of the Company or any other factors designated by the Committee, and Awards valued by
reference to the book value of Common Stock or the value of securities of or the performance of specified subsidiaries. The Committee shall determine the terms and conditions of such Awards. Common Stock delivered pursuant to an Award in the nature
of a purchase right granted under this Section 9.2 shall be purchased for such consideration, paid for at such times, by such methods, and in such forms, including, without limitation, cash, Common Stock, other Awards, or other property, as the
Committee shall determine. Cash awards, as an element of or supplement to any other Award under the Plan, may also be granted pursuant to this Section 9.2. 
 9.3 Performance Awards. 
  

	 	(a)	Performance Conditions. The right of a Participant to exercise or receive a grant or settlement of any Award, and its timing, may be subject to performance conditions
specified by the Committee. The Committee may use business criteria and other measures of performance it deems appropriate in establishing any performance conditions, and may exercise its discretion to reduce or increase the amounts payable under
any Award subject to performance conditions, except as limited under Sections 9.4(b) and 9.4(c) hereof in the case of a Performance Award intended to qualify under Code Section 162(m). 

  

	 	(b)	Performance Awards Granted to Designated Covered Employees. If the Committee determines that a Performance Award to be granted to a person the Committee regards as likely to
be a Covered Employee should qualify as “performance-based compensation” for purposes of Code Section 162(m), the grant and/or settlement of such Performance Award shall be contingent upon achievement of preestablished performance
goals and other terms set forth in this Section 9.3(b). 

  

	 	(i)	 Performance Goals Generally. The performance goals for such Performance Awards shall consist of one or more business criteria and a targeted level or levels
of performance with 

  

 14 

	 	 
respect to such criteria, as specified by the Committee consistent with this Section 9.3(b). Performance goals shall be objective and shall otherwise
meet the requirements of Code Section 162(m), including the requirement that the level or levels of performance targeted by the Committee result in the performance goals being “substantially uncertain.” The Committee may determine
that more than one performance goal must be achieved as a condition to settlement of such Performance Awards. Performance goals may differ for Performance Awards granted to any one Participant or to different Participants.

  

	 	(ii)	Business Criteria. One or more of the following business criteria for the Company, on a consolidated basis, and/or for specified subsidiaries or business units of the Company
(except with respect to the total stockholder return and earnings per share criteria), shall be used exclusively by the Committee in establishing performance goals for such Performance Awards: (1) total stockholder return; (2) such total
stockholder return as compared to total return (on a comparable basis) of a publicly available index such as, but not limited to, the Standard & Poor’s 500 or the Nasdaq-U.S. Index; (3) net income; (4) pre-tax earnings;
(5) EBITDA or earnings before interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization; or (6) pre-tax operating earnings after interest expense and before bonuses, service fees, and extraordinary or special items; (7) operating margin;
(8) earnings per share; (9) return on equity; (10) return on capital; (11) return on investment; (12) operating income before payment of executive bonuses; (13) working capital; (14) pro forma net income, excluding
facility transition charges and equity compensation expense; and (15) pro forma earnings per share, excluding facility transition charges and equity compensation expense. The foregoing business criteria shall also be exclusively used in
establishing performance goals for Cash Incentive Awards granted under Section 9.3(c) hereof. 

  

	 	(iii)	Performance Period: Timing For Establishing Performance Goals. Achievement of performance goals in respect of Performance Awards shall be measured over such periods as may be
specified by the Committee. Performance goals shall be established on or before the dates that are required or permitted for “performance-based compensation” under Code Section 162(m). 

  

	 	(iv)	Settlement of Performance Awards; Other Terms. Settlement of Performance Awards may be in cash or Common Stock, or other Awards, or other property, in the discretion of the
Committee. The Committee may, in its discretion, reduce the amount of a settlement otherwise to be made in connection with such Performance Awards, but may not exercise discretion to increase any such amount payable in respect of a Performance Award
subject to this Section 9.3(b). The Committee shall specify the circumstances in which such Performance Awards shall be forfeited or paid in the event of a Termination of Employment or a Change in Control prior to the end of a performance
period or settlement of Performance Awards, and other terms relating to such Performance Awards. 

  

	 	(c)	Cash Incentive Awards Granted to Designated Covered Employees. The Committee may grant Cash Incentive Awards to Participants, including those designated by the Committee as
likely to be Covered Employees, which Awards shall represent a conditional right to receive a payment in cash, unless otherwise determined by the Committee, after the end of a specified calendar year or calendar quarter or other period specified by
the Committee, in accordance with this Section 9.3(c). 

  

	 	(i)	 Cash Incentive Award. The Cash Incentive Award for Participants that the Committee regards as likely to be regarded as Covered Employees shall be based on
achievement of a performance goal or goals based on one or more of the business criteria set forth in Section 9.3(b), and may 

  

 15 

	 	 
be based on such criteria for any other Participant. The Committee may specify the amount of the individual Cash Incentive Award as a percentage of any such
business criteria, a percentage thereof in excess of a threshold amount, or another amount which need not bear a strictly mathematical relationship to such relationship criteria. The Committee may establish a Cash Incentive Award pool that includes
Participants the Committee regards likely to be regarded as Covered Employees, which shall be an unfunded pool, for purposes of measuring Company performance in connection with Cash Incentive Awards. The amount of the Cash Incentive Award pool shall
be based upon the achievement of a performance goal or goals based on one or more of the business criteria set forth in Section 9.3(b) hereof in the given performance period, as specified by the Committee. The Committee may specify the amount
of the Cash Incentive Award pool as a percentage of any of such business criteria, a percentage thereof in excess of a threshold amount, or as another amount which need not bear a strictly mathematical relationship to such business criteria.

  

	 	(ii)	Potential Cash Incentive Awards. Not later than the date required or permitted for “qualified performance-based compensation” under Code Section 162(m), the
Committee shall determine the Participants who will potentially receive Cash Incentive Awards for the specified year, quarter or other period, either as individual Cash Incentive Awards or out of an Cash Incentive Award pool established by such date
and the amount or method for determining the amount of the individual Cash Incentive Award or the amount of such Participant’s portion of the Cash Incentive Award pool or the individual Cash Incentive Award. 

  

	 	(iii)	Payout of Cash Incentive Awards. After the end of the specified year, quarter or other period, as the case may be, the Committee shall determine the amount, if any, of
potential individual Cash Incentive Award otherwise payable to a Participant, the Cash Incentive Award pool and the maximum amount of potential Cash Incentive Award payable to each Participant in the Cash Incentive Award pool. The Committee may, in
its discretion, determine that the amount payable to any Participant as a final Cash Incentive Award shall be increased or reduced from the amount of his or her potential Cash Incentive Award, including a determination to make no final Award
whatsoever, but may not exercise discretion to increase any such amount in the case of a Cash Incentive Award intended to qualify under Code Section 162(m). The Committee shall specify the circumstances in which a Cash Incentive Award shall be
paid or forfeited in the event of Termination of Employment by the Participant or a Change in Control prior to the end of the period for measuring performance or the payout of such Cash Incentive Award, and other terms relating to such Cash
Incentive Award in accordance with the Plan. Upon the completion of the measuring period and the determination of the right to payment and the amount, the Committee shall direct the Committee to make payment, which shall occur no later than the
later of (A) the fifteenth day of the third month following the end of the Participant’s taxable year in which he or she earned the Cash Incentive Award or (B) the fifteenth day of the third month following the end of the
Company’s taxable year in which the Participant earned the Cash Incentive Award. 

  

	 	(d)	Written Determinations. All determinations by the Committee as to the establishment of performance goals and the potential Performance Awards or Cash Incentive Awards related
to such performance goals and as to the achievement of performance goals relating to such Awards, the amount of any Cash Incentive Award pool and the amount of final Cash Incentive Awards, shall be made in writing in the case of any Award intended
to qualify under Code Section 162(m). The Committee may not delegate any responsibility relating to such Performance Awards or Cash Incentive Awards. 

  

 16 

 ARTICLE X 
 PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO STOCK ACQUIRED UNDER THE PLAN 
 10.1 Transfer of Shares. A
Participant may at any time make a transfer of shares of Common Stock received pursuant to the exercise of an Award to his parents, spouse or descendants, to any trust for the benefit of the foregoing or to a partnership the interests of which are
principally for the foregoing or to a custodian under a uniform gifts to minors act or similar statute for the benefit of any of the Participant’s descendants. Any transfer of shares received pursuant to the exercise of an Award shall not be
permitted or valid unless and until the transferee agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Plan, and any provision respecting Common Stock under the applicable Agreement, provided that “Termination of Employment” shall continue to
refer to the Termination of Employment of the Employee. 
 10.2 Limited Transfer During Offering. In the event there is an effective
registration statement under the Securities Act pursuant to which shares of Common Stock shall be offered for sale in an underwritten offering, a Participant shall not, during the period requested by the underwriters managing the registered public
offering, effect any public sale or distribution of shares received directly or indirectly pursuant to an exercise of an Award. 
 10.3
Committee Discretion. The Committee may in its sole discretion include in any Agreement an obligation that the Company purchase a Participant’s shares of Common Stock received upon the exercise of an Award (including the purchase of any
unexercised Awards which have not expired), or may obligate a Participant to sell shares of Common Stock to the Company, upon such terms and conditions as the Committee may determine and set forth in an Agreement. The provisions of this Article X
shall be construed by the Committee in its sole discretion, and shall be subject to such other terms and conditions as the Committee may from time to time determine. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the Company may upon
determination by the Committee assign its right to purchase shares of Common Stock under this Article X, whereupon the assignee of such right shall have all the rights, duties and obligations of the Company with respect to purchase of the shares of
Common Stock. 
 10.4 No Company Obligation. None of the Company, an Affiliate or the Committee shall have any duty or obligation to
disclose affirmatively to a record or beneficial holder of Common Stock or an Award, and such holder shall have no right to be advised of, any material information regarding the Company or any Affiliate at any time prior to, upon or in connection
with receipt or the exercise of an Award or the Company’s purchase of Common Stock or an Award from such holder in accordance with the terms hereof. 
 ARTICLE XI 
 CHANGE IN CONTROL PROVISIONS 
 11.1 Impact of Event. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, unless otherwise provided in an Agreement, in the event of
a Change in Control (as defined in Section 11.2): 
  

	 	(a)	Any Stock Appreciation Rights and Stock Options outstanding as of the date of such Change in Control and not then exercisable shall become fully exercisable to the full extent of
the original grant; 

  

	 	(b)	The restrictions applicable to any Restricted Stock or other Award shall lapse, and such Restricted Stock or other Award shall become free of all restrictions and become fully
vested and transferable to the full extent of the original grant. 

  

 17 

	 	(c)	The performance goals and other conditions with respect to any outstanding Performance Award or Cash Incentive Award shall be deemed to have been satisfied in full, and such Award
shall be fully distributable, if and to the extent provided by the Committee in the Agreement relating to such Award or otherwise, notwithstanding that the Award may not be fully deductible to the Company under Section 162(m) of the Code.

  

	 	(d)	Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, unless the Committee shall provide otherwise in an Agreement, any Award of any Participant who is an officer or director of the
Company (within the meaning of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act) for which the Grant Date is less than six (6) months prior to the Change in Control, shall be cancelled in exchange for a cash payment to the Participant, at the time of the
Participant’s Termination of Employment, equal to the amount which the Change in Control Price (as defined in Section 11.3) per share of Common Stock on the date of such election shall exceed the amount which the Participant must pay
to exercise the Award per share of Common Stock under the Award (the “Spread”) multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock granted under the Award, plus interest on such amount at the prime rate as reported from time to time in The
Wall Street Journal, compounded annually and determined from time to time. 

 11.2 Definition of Change in Control. For
purposes of the Plan, a “Change in Control” shall mean the happening of any of the following events: 
  

	 	(a)	An acquisition of at least fifty percent (50%) by any individual, entity or group (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act) (a
“Person”) of the beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of the then outstanding shares of common stock of the Company (the “Outstanding Company Common Stock”) or the combined
voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of the Company entitled to vote generally in the election of directors (the “Outstanding Company Voting Securities”); or 

  

	 	(b)	The approval by the stockholders of the Company of a reorganization, merger, consolidation, complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company, the sale or disposition of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Company or similar corporate transaction (in each case referred to in this Section 11.2 as a “Corporate Transaction”) or, if consummation of such Corporate Transaction is subject, at the time of
such approval by stockholders, to the consent of any government or governmental agency, the obtaining of such consent (either explicitly or implicitly); or 

  

	 	(c)	A change in the composition of the Board such that the individuals who, as of the date of the Public Offering, constitute the Board (such Board shall be hereinafter referred to as
the “Incumbent Board”) cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board; provided, however, for purposes of this Section 11.2(c), that any individual who becomes a member of the Board whose election, or nomination
for election by the Company’s stockholders, was approved by a vote of at least a majority of those individuals who are members of the Board and who were also members of the Incumbent Board (or deemed to be such pursuant to this proviso) shall
be considered as though such individual were a member of the Incumbent Board; but, provided, further, that any such individual whose initial assumption of office occurs as a result of either an actual or threatened election contest (as such terms
are used in Rule 14a-11 of Regulation 14A promulgated under the Exchange Act) or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of a Person other than the Board shall not be so considered as a member of the Incumbent
Board. 

  

 18 

 Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section, the following shall be excluded from the events described in
(a) and (b) above: (i) any acquisition by or consummation of a Corporate Transaction with the Company, an Affiliate or an employee benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained by the Company or an Affiliate, (ii) the
acquisition by or consummation of a Corporate Transaction with any Person who beneficially owned, immediately prior to such acquisition or Corporate Transaction, directly or indirectly, twenty percent (20%) or more of the Outstanding Company
Common Stock or Outstanding Company Voting Securities, or (iii) any acquisition or Corporate Transaction, if more than a majority of the beneficial ownership of the entity resulting from the acquisition or Corporate Transaction is held by
Persons who held the beneficial ownership of the Outstanding Company Voting Securities before the acquisition or Corporate Transaction. 
 11.3 Change in Control Price. For purposes of the Plan, “Change in Control Price” means the higher of (a) the highest reported sales price of a share of Common Stock in any transaction reported on the principal
exchange on which such shares are listed or on NASDAQ during the sixty (60)-day period prior to and including the date of a Change in Control or (b) if the Change in Control is the result of a tender or exchange offer or Corporate Transaction,
the highest price per share of Common Stock paid in such tender or exchange offer or Corporate Transaction, except that, in the case of Incentive Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights relating to Incentive Stock Options, such price shall be
based only on the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the date any such Incentive Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right is exercised. To the extent that the consideration paid in any such transaction described above consists all or in part
of securities or other non-cash consideration, the value of such securities or other non-cash consideration shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Committee. 
 ARTICLE XII 
 MISCELLANEOUS 
 12.1 Amendments and Termination. The Board may amend, alter or discontinue the Plan at any time, but no amendment, alteration or discontinuation
shall be made which would impair the rights of a Participant under a Stock Option, Stock Appreciation Right or Restricted Stock Award theretofore granted without the Participant’s consent, except such an amendment made to cause the Plan to
qualify for the exemption provided by Rule 16b-3 or made to comply with an exemption from, or prevent a violation of, Section 409A of the Code. In addition, no such amendment shall be made without the approval of the Company’s stockholders
to the extent such approval is required by law, agreement or the rule of any stock exchange or NASDAQ (or other public market) on which the Common Stock is listed (or regularly traded). 
 The Committee may amend the Plan at any time provided that (a) no amendment shall impair the rights of any Participant under any Award theretofore
granted without the Participant’s consent, and (b) any amendment shall be subject to the approval or rejection of the Board. 
 The
Committee may amend the terms of any Award or other Award theretofore granted, prospectively or retroactively, but no such amendment shall impair the rights of any Participant without the Participant’s consent. Notwithstanding anything in the
Plan to the contrary, neither the Board nor the Committee will be permitted to (i) amend an Option to reduce its Option Price, (ii) cancel an Option and re-grant an Option with a lower Option Price than the original Option Price of the
cancelled Option, or (iii) take any other action (whether in the form of an amendment, cancellation or replacement grant) that has the effect of repricing an Option. 
 Subject to the above provisions, the Board shall have authority to amend the Plan to take into account changes in law and tax and accounting rules, as well as other developments, and to grant Awards which qualify for
beneficial treatment under such rules without stockholder approval. 
  

 19 

 12.2 Stand-Alone, Additional, Tandem, and Substitute Awards. Awards granted under the Plan may, in
the discretion of the Committee, be granted either alone or in addition to, in tandem with, or in substitution or exchange for, any other Award or any award granted under another plan of the Company, any subsidiary, or any business entity to be
acquired by the Company or a subsidiary, or any other right of a Participant to receive payment from the Company or any subsidiary. Such additional, tandem, and substitute or exchange Awards may be granted at any time. If an Award is granted in
substitution or exchange for another Award or award, the Committee shall require the surrender of such other Award or award in consideration for the grant of the new Award. In addition, Awards may be granted in lieu of cash compensation, including
in lieu of cash amounts payable under other plans of the Company or any subsidiary, in which the Fair Market Value of Common Stock subject to the Award is equivalent in value to the cash compensation, or in which the exercise price, grant price or
purchase price of the Award in the nature of a right that may be exercised is equal to the Fair Market Value of the underlying Common Stock minus the value of the cash compensation surrendered. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no grant or substitution
made pursuant to this Section 12.2 shall be made to the extent that such grant or substitution would violate Section 409A of the Code or prevent the Plan or an Award from qualifying for exemption under Section 409A of the Code.

 12.3 Form and Timing of Payment Under Awards. Subject to the terms of the Plan and any applicable Agreement, payments to be made by
the Company or an Affiliate upon the exercise of an Award or settlement of an Award may be made in such form(s) as the Committee shall determine, including, without limitation, cash, Common Stock, other Awards or other property, and may be made in a
single payment or transfer or in installments, as specified in the applicable Award Agreement. The settlement of any Award may be accelerated, and cash paid in lieu of Common Stock in connection with such settlement, in the discretion of the
Committee or upon occurrence of one or more specified events (in addition to a Change in Control). An Award may provide, without limitation, for the payment or crediting of reasonable interest on installment payments. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
no form or timing of payment made pursuant to this Section 12.3 shall be made to the extent that such form or timing of payment would violate Section 409A of the Code or prevent the Plan or an Award from qualifying for exemption under
Section 409A of the Code. 
 12.4 Status of Awards Under Code Section 162(m). It is the intent of the Company that Awards
granted to persons who are Covered Employees within the meaning of Code Section 162(m) shall constitute “qualified performance-based compensation” satisfying the requirements of Code Section 162(m). Accordingly, the provisions of
the Plan shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with Code Section 162(m). If any provision of the Plan or any agreement relating to such an Award does not comply or is inconsistent with the requirements of Code Section 162(m), such
provision shall be construed or deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such requirements. 
 12.5 Unfunded Status of Plan;
Limits on Transferability. It is intended that the Plan be an “unfunded” plan for incentive compensation. The Committee may authorize the creation of domestic trusts or other arrangements to meet the obligations created under the Plan
to deliver Common Stock or make payments; provided, however, that, unless the Committee otherwise determines, the existence of such trusts or other arrangements is consistent with the “unfunded” status of the Plan. Unless otherwise
provided in this Plan or in an Agreement, no Award shall be subject to the claims of Participants’ creditors and no Award may be transferred, assigned, alienated or encumbered in any way other than by will or the laws of descent and
distribution or to a Representative upon the death of the Participant. 
 12.6 Section 409A of the Code. No Award granted
pursuant to this Plan is intended to constitute “deferred compensation” as defined in Section 409A of the Code, and the Plan and the terms of all Awards shall be interpreted accordingly. If any provision of the Plan or an Award
contravenes any regulations or Treasury guidance promulgated under Section 409A of the Code or could cause an Award to be subject to the penalties and interest under Section 409A of the Code, such provision of the Plan or Award shall be
modified to 
  

 20 

 maintain, to the maximum extent practicable, the original intent of the applicable provision without
violating the provisions of Section 409A of the Code. 
 12.7 General Provisions. 
  

	 	(a)	Representation. The Committee may require each person purchasing or receiving shares pursuant to an Award to represent to and agree with the Company in writing that such
person is acquiring the shares without a view to the distribution thereof. The certificates for such shares may include any legend which the Committee deems appropriate to reflect any restrictions on transfer. 

  

	 	(b)	No Additional Obligation. Nothing contained in the Plan shall prevent the Company or an Affiliate from adopting other or additional compensation arrangements for its
employees. 

  

	 	(c)	Withholding. No later than the date as of which an amount first becomes includible in the gross income of the Participant for Federal income tax purposes with respect to any
Award, the Participant shall pay to the Company (or other entity identified by the Committee), or make arrangements satisfactory to the Company or other entity identified by the Committee regarding the payment of, any Federal, state, local or
foreign taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with respect to such amount required in order for the Company or an Affiliate to obtain a current deduction. If the Participant disposes of shares of Common Stock acquired pursuant to an
Incentive Stock Option in any transaction considered to be a disqualifying transaction under the Code, the Participant must give the Committee written notice of such transfer and the Company shall have the right to deduct any taxes required by law
to be withheld from any amounts otherwise payable to the Participant. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, withholding obligations may be settled with Common Stock, including Common Stock that is part of the Award that gives rise to the
withholding requirement. The obligations of the Company under the Plan shall be conditional on such payment or arrangements, and the Company and its Affiliates shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct any such taxes from any
payment otherwise due to the Participant. 

  

	 	(d)	Reinvestment. The reinvestment of dividends in additional Restricted Stock at the time of any dividend payment shall be permissible only if sufficient shares of Common Stock
are available under the Plan for such reinvestment (taking into account then outstanding Options and other Awards). 

  

	 	(e)	Representation. The Committee shall establish such procedures as it deems appropriate for a Participant to designate a Representative to whom any amounts payable in the event
of the Participant’s death are to be paid. 

  

	 	(f)	Controlling Law. The Plan and all Awards made and actions taken thereunder shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware (other than
its law respecting choice of law). The Plan shall be construed to comply with all applicable law and to avoid liability to the Company, an Affiliate or a Participant, including, without limitation, liability under Section 16(b) of the Exchange
Act. 

  

	 	(g)	Offset. Any amounts owed to the Company or an Affiliate by the Participant of whatever nature may be offset by the Company from the value of any shares of Common Stock, cash
or other thing of value under this Plan or an Agreement to be transferred to the Participant, and no shares of Common Stock, cash or other thing of value under this Plan or an Agreement shall be transferred unless and until all disputes between the
Company and the Participant have been fully and finally resolved and the Participant has waived all claims to such against the Company or an Affiliate. 

  

 21 

	 	(h)	Fail Safe. With respect to persons subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, transactions under this Plan are intended to comply with all applicable conditions of Rule
16b-3. To the extent any action by the Committee fails to so comply, it shall be deemed null and void, to the extent permitted by law and deemed advisable by the Committee. 

 12.8 Mitigation of Excise Tax. Unless otherwise provided in an Agreement or determined by the Committee, if any payment or right accruing to a
Participant under this Plan (without the application of this Section 13.7), either alone or together with other payments or rights accruing to the Participant from the Company or an Affiliate (“Total Payments”), would constitute a
“parachute payment” (as defined in Section 280G of the Code and regulations thereunder), such payment or right shall be reduced to the largest amount or greatest right that will result in no portion of the amount payable or right
accruing under the Plan being subject to an excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code or being disallowed as a deduction under Section 280G of the Code. The determination of whether any reduction in the rights or payments under this Plan
is to apply shall be made by the Committee in good faith after consultation with the Participant, and such determination shall be conclusive and binding on the Participant. The Participant shall cooperate in good faith with the Committee in making
such determination and providing the necessary information for this purpose. 
 12.9 No Rights with Respect to Continuance of
Employment. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to alter the relationship between the Company or an Affiliate and a Participant, or the contractual relationship between a Participant and the Company or an Affiliate if there is a written
contract regarding such relationship. Nothing contained herein shall be construed to constitute a contract of employment between the Company or an Affiliate and a Participant. The Company or an Affiliate and each of the Participants continue to have
the right to terminate the employment or service relationship at any time for any reason, except as provided in a written contract. The Company or an Affiliate shall have no obligation to retain the Participant in its employ or service as a result
of this Plan. There shall be no inference as to the length of employment or service hereby, and the Company or an Affiliate reserves the same rights to terminate the Participant’s employment or service as existed prior to the individual’s
becoming a Participant in this Plan. 
 12.10 Awards in Substitution for Awards Granted by Other Corporations. Awards (including cash
in respect of fractional shares) may be granted under the Plan from time to time in substitution for awards held by employees, directors or service providers of other corporations who are about to become officers, directors or employees of the
Company or an Affiliate as the result of a merger or consolidation of the employing corporation with the Company or an Affiliate, or the acquisition by the Company or an Affiliate of the assets of the employing corporation, or the acquisition by the
Company or Affiliate of the stock of the employing corporation, as the result of which it becomes a designated employer under the Plan. The terms and conditions of the Awards so granted may vary from the terms and conditions set forth in this Plan
at the time of such grant as the majority of the members of the Committee may deem appropriate to conform, in whole or in part, to the provisions of the awards in substitution for which they are granted. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no grant or
substitution made pursuant to this Section 12.10 shall be made to the extent that such grant or substitution would violate Section 409A of the Code or prevent the Plan or an Award from qualifying for an exemption under Section 409A of
the Code. 
 12.11 Procedure for Adoption. Any Affiliate of the Company may by resolution of such Affiliate’s board of directors,
with the consent of the Board of Directors and subject to such conditions as may be imposed by the Board of Directors, adopt the Plan for the benefit of its employees as of the date specified in the board resolution. 
 12.12 Procedure for Withdrawal. Any Affiliate which has adopted the Plan may, by resolution of the board of directors of such Affiliate, with the
consent of the Board of Directors and subject to such conditions as may be imposed by the Board of Directors, terminate its adoption of the Plan. 
  

 22 

 12.13 Delay. If at the time a Participant incurs a Termination of Employment (other than due to
Cause) or if at the time of a Change in Control, the Participant is subject to “short-swing” liability under Section 16 of the Exchange Act, any time period provided for under the Plan or an Agreement to the extent necessary to avoid
the imposition of liability shall be suspended and delayed during the period the Participant would be subject to such liability, but not more than six (6) months and one (1) day and not to exceed the Option Period, or the period for
exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right as provided in the Agreement, whichever is shorter. The Company shall have the right to suspend or delay any time period described in the Plan or an Agreement if the Committee shall determine that the action
may constitute a violation of any law or result in liability under any law to the Company, an Affiliate or a stockholder of the Company until such time as the action required or permitted shall not constitute a violation of law or result in
liability to the Company, an Affiliate or a stockholder of the Company. 
 12.14 Headings. The headings contained in this Plan are for
reference purposes only and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of this Plan. 
 12.15 Severability. If any provision of
this Plan shall for any reason be held to be invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision hereby, and this Plan shall be construed as if such invalid or unenforceable provision were omitted.

 12.16 Successors and Assigns. This Plan shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon each successor and assign of the Company.
All obligations imposed upon a Participant, and all rights granted to the Company hereunder, shall be binding upon the Participant’s heirs, legal representatives and successors. 
 12.17 Entire Agreement. This Plan and each Agreement constitute the entire agreement with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof,
provided that in the event of any inconsistency between the Plan and the Agreement, the terms and conditions of this Plan shall control. 
 Executed on this
5th day of December, 2007.

 23Form of Stock Option Agreement under the Plan

 Exhibit 10.2 
 STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT 
 THIS STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT dated as of
                    , (“Grant Date”), is between KENSEY NASH CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and the
employee designated on the attached Notice of Grant of Stock Options of the Company (the “Participant”). 
 WHEREAS, the
Company desires, by affording the Participant an opportunity to purchase shares of the Company’s Common Stock as hereinafter provided, to carry out the purposes of the Kensey Nash Corporation Employee Incentive Compensation Plan (the
“Plan”); and 
 WHEREAS, the Committee has duly made all determinations necessary or appropriate to the grants hereunder;

 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants hereinafter set forth and for other good and valuable
consideration, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto have agreed, and do hereby agree, as follows: 
  

	1.	Grant of Option, Option Price and Term. 

 (a) The
Company hereby grants to the Participant, as a matter of separate agreement and not in lieu of salary or any other compensation for services, the right and option (the “Option”) to purchase the number of shares designated on the attached
Notice of Grant of Stock Options of the Common Stock of the Company (“Option Shares”) on the terms and conditions herein set forth. 
 (b) For each of the Option Shares purchased, the Participant shall pay to the Company                      dollars
($                    ) per share (the “Option Price”). Accordingly, the aggregate Option Price to exercise all of the Option is as
specified on the attached Notice of Grant of Stock Options (“Aggregate Option Price”). 
 (c) The term of the Option shall be a
period of ten (10) years from the Grant Date (the “Option Period”). During the Option Period, the Option shall be exercisable in accordance with the schedule on the attached Notice of Grant of Stock Options. 
 (d) The Option granted hereunder is designated as a nonqualified stock option. 
 (e) The Company shall not be required to issue any fractional Option Shares. 
  

	2.	Termination of Option. Subject to Paragraph 1(c): 

 (a) If a Participant has an involuntary (as to the Participant) Termination of Employment for reasons other than Cause, Disability or death, or if a Participant has a Termination of Employment which is a Retirement, the Option shall be
cancelled ninety (90) days after such Termination of Employment or after the expiration of the remaining Option Period, whichever period is shorter. 
 (b) If the Termination of Employment is on account of the Disability or death of the Participant, the Option shall be cancelled one (1) year after the date of the occurrence of the Disability or death or after
the expiration of the remaining Option Period, whichever period is shorter. 
  

 1 

 (c) If the Participant has a Termination of Employment for Cause or a voluntary Termination of Employment
(other than Retirement), the Option shall automatically be cancelled simultaneously with the date of such Termination of Employment. 
 A
Participant’s Termination of Employment due to death or Disability shall result in the Option becoming fully vested and exercisable. A Participant’s Termination of Employment for reasons other than death or Disability does not accelerate
the percentage of Option Shares otherwise exercisable with respect to the Participant. Any portion of the Option which is not exercisable as of a Participant’s Termination of Employment (other than an Option which becomes fully exercisable upon
Termination of Engagement due to death or Disability) is cancelled simultaneously with the date of such Termination of Employment. 
 3.     Exercise. The Option shall be exercisable during the Participant’s lifetime only by the Participant, and after the Participant’s death only by a Representative. The Option may only be exercised by
the delivery to the Company of a properly completed written notice, in form satisfactory to the Committee, which notice shall specify the number of Option Shares to be purchased and the aggregate Option Price for such shares, together with payment
in full of such aggregate Option Price. Payment shall only be made: 
 (a) in cash or by check; 
 (b) by the delivery to the Company of a valid and enforceable stock certificate (or certificates) representing shares of Common Stock already owned by the
Participant for a period of at least six months prior to such payment, which is endorsed in blank or accompanied by an executed stock power (or powers) and guaranteed in a manner acceptable to the Committee; 
 (c) by authorizing the Company to retain shares of Common Stock already owned by the Participant for a period of at least six months prior to such
payment, thereby reducing the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued and delivered to the Participant upon such exercise; 
 (d) in
cash by a broker-dealer to whom the Participant has submitted an irrevocable notice of exercise; or 
 (e) in any combination of (a), (b),
(c) or (d). 
 If any part of the payment of the Option Price is made in shares of Common Stock, such shares shall be valued by using their Fair Market
Value as of their date of delivery. 
 The Option shall not be exercised unless there has been compliance with all the preceding provisions
of this Paragraph 3, and, for all purposes of this Stock Option Agreement, the date of the exercise of the Option shall be the date upon which there is compliance with all such requirements. 
 4.    Payment of Withholding Taxes. If the Company is obligated to withhold an amount on account of any tax imposed as a result of the
exercise of the Option, the Participant shall be required to pay such amount to the Company, as provided in the Plan. 
 5.    Requirements of Law; Registration and Transfer Requirements. The Company shall not be required to sell or issue any shares under the Option if the issuance of such shares shall constitute a violation of any
provision of any law or regulation of any governmental authority. The Option and each and every obligation of the Company hereunder are subject to the requirement that the Option may not be exercised or performed, in whole or in part, unless and
until the Option Shares are listed, registered or qualified, properly marked with a legend or other notation, or otherwise restricted, as is provided for in the Plan. 
  

 2 

 6.    Adjustments/Change in Control. In the event of a Change in Control or other corporate
restructuring provided for in the Plan, the Participant shall have such rights, and the Committee shall take such actions, as are provided for in the Plan; provided however, that Section 11.1 of the Plan shall not apply to any Change in Control
consisting, in whole or in part, of an acquisition at any time hereafter by the Ramius Group (as defined below) or any member thereof, of the beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of less than 50%
of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock or the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of the Company entitled to vote generally in the election of directors; provided, further that in the event that the definition of
Change in Control in the Plan is amended or modified (including, without limitation, to increase the percentage set forth in Section 11.2(a) of the Plan), such amended or modified definition of Change in Control shall apply for purposes of this
Agreement. 
 The “Ramius Group” means Starboard Value and Opportunity Master Fund Ltd.; Ramius Capital Group, L.L.C.; Parche, LLC;
RGC Starboard Advisors, LLC; C4S & CO., LLC; RCG Enterprise, Ltd; Peter A. Cohen; Morgan B. Stark; Jeffrey M. Solomon; Thomas W. Strauss; Ceasar Anquillare; Peter A. Feld; Jeffrey C. Smith and any other individual or entity constituting a
group (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act) with any of the foregoing in connection with the beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of any securities of the
Company. 
 7.    Nontransferability. Except for transfers specifically authorized under the terms of the Plan, the Option and any
interest in the Option may not be sold, assigned, conveyed, gifted, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise transferred in any manner other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Stock Option
Agreement, any such attempted sale, assignment, conveyance, gift, pledge, hypothecation or transfer shall be null and void and shall terminate the Option immediately. 
 8.    Plan. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Stock Option Agreement, the Option is granted pursuant to the Plan, as in effect on the date hereof, and is subject to all the terms
and conditions of the Plan, as the same may be amended from time to time; provided, however, that no amendment to either the Plan or this Stock Option Agreement shall deprive the Participant, without the Participant’s consent, of the Option or
of any of Participant’s rights under this Stock Option Agreement. The interpretation and construction by the Committee of the Plan, this Stock Option Agreement, the Option, and such rules and regulations as may be adopted by the Committee for
the purpose of administering the Plan, shall be final and binding upon the Participant. Until the Option shall expire, terminate or be exercised in full, the Company shall, upon written request therefor, send a copy of the Plan, in its then current
form, to the Participant or any other person or entity then entitled to exercise the Option. 
 The Participant hereby acknowledges receipt
of a copy of the Plan. 
 9.    No Stockholder Rights. Until the Option shall have been duly exercised to purchase such Option
Shares and such shares have been officially recorded as issued on the Company’s official stockholder records, no person or entity shall be entitled to vote, receive dividends or be deemed for any purpose the holder of any Option Shares, and
adjustments for dividends or otherwise shall be made only if the record date therefor is subsequent to the date such shares are recorded and after the date of exercise and without duplication of any adjustment. 
 10.    No Employment Rights. No provision of this Stock Option Agreement or of the Option granted hereunder shall give the Participant any
right to continue in the employ of the Company or any of its Affiliates, create any inference as to the length of employment of the Participant, affect the right of the Company or its Affiliates to terminate the employment of the Participant,
with or without Cause, or give the Participant any right to participate in any employee welfare or benefit plan or other program (other than the Plan) of the Company or any of its Affiliates. 
  

 3 

 11.    No Disclosure Rights. The Company shall have no duty or obligation to affirmatively
disclose to the Participant or a Representative, and the Participant or Representative shall have no right to be advised of, any material information regarding the Company or an Affiliate at any time prior to, upon or in connection with the exercise
of an Option or the Company’s acquisition of Common Stock in accordance with the terms of this Stock Option Agreement. 
 12.    Investment Representation and Agreement. The Committee may require the Participant to furnish to the Company, prior to the issuance of any shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of all or any part of the
Option, an agreement (in such form as such Committee may specify) in which the Participant represents that the shares of Common Stock acquired by him upon exercise are being acquired for investment and not with a view to the sale or distribution
thereof. 
 13.    Governing Law. This Stock Option Agreement and the Option granted hereunder shall be governed by, and construed
and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware (other than its laws respecting choice of law). 
 14.    Entire
Agreement. This Stock Option Agreement, together with the Plan, constitute the entire obligation of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and shall supersede any prior expressions of intent or understanding with respect to
this transaction. 
 15.    Definitions. Wherever initial capitalization of a term is used in this Stock Option Agreement, it
shall have the same meaning as that given to it by the Plan, except to the extent such meaning should conflict with any meaning afforded to such term in this Stock Option Agreement. 
 16.    Amendment. Any amendment to this Stock Option Agreement shall be in writing and signed on behalf of the Company. 
 17.    Waiver; Cumulative Rights. The failure or delay of either party to require performance by the other party of any provision hereof shall not affect its right to require performance of
such provision unless and until such performance has been waived in writing. Each and every right hereunder is cumulative and may be exercised in part or in whole from time to time. 
 18.    Counterparts. This Stock Option Agreement may be signed in two (2) counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but both of which shall constitute but one and the same
instrument. 
 19.    Notices. Any notice which either party hereto may be required or permitted to give the other shall be in
writing and may be delivered personally or by mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the Secretary of the Company, 735 Pennsylvania Drive, Exton, Pennsylvania 19341, or the Participant at his address as shown on the Company’s payroll records, or
to such other address as the Participant, by notice to the Company, may designate in writing from time to time. 
 20.    Headings. The headings contained in this Stock Option Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of this Stock Option Agreement. 
 21.    Severability. If any provision of this Stock Option Agreement shall for any reason be held to be invalid or unenforceable, such
invalidity or unenforceability shall not effect any other provision hereof, and this Stock Option Agreement shall be construed as if such invalid or unenforceable provision were omitted. 
  

 4 

 22.    Successors and Assigns. This Stock Option Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and
be binding upon each successor and assign of the Company. All obligations imposed upon the Participant or a Representative, and all rights granted to the Company hereunder, shall be binding upon the Participant’s or the Representative’s
heirs, legal representatives and successors. 
 23.    Conditional Grant. The Option is granted upon the condition that, and the
Option Shares hereunder shall be forfeited unless, each and any person who is a spouse of the Participant at any time on or after the Grant Date (including any person who becomes a spouse after the Grant Date) executes a Consent of Spouse form
provided by the Committee, unless the Committee shall waive either such condition. 
 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Stock
Option Agreement to be duly executed by an officer thereunto duly authorized.
