2002 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN

     The following provisions set forth the terms of the equity grant program (the “Program”) for
nonemployee directors of Cardiac Science Corporation (the “Company”) under the Company’s 2002 Stock
Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). The following terms are intended to supplement, not alter or change,
the provisions of the Plan, and in the event of any inconsistency between the terms contained
herein and in the Plan, the Plan shall govern. All capitalized terms that are not defined herein
shall be as defined in the Plan.

1. Certain Defined Terms

     “Restricted Stock Units” means an award denominated in units of Common Stock.

     “Restricted Stock Unit Award” means an award of Restricted Stock Units.

2. Eligibility

     Each director of the Company elected or appointed who is not otherwise an employee of the
Company or a Related Company (an “Eligible Director”) shall be eligible to receive Initial Grants
and Annual Grants under the Plan, as discussed below.

3. Initial Grants

     Each Eligible Director shall automatically receive an award of 4.000 Restricted Stock Units
upon such Eligible Director’s initial election or appointment to the Board (the “Initial Grant”).
Twenty-Five Percent (25%) of each Initial Grant shall vest and become payable one year after the
grant date of such Initial Grant and an additional 25% of such Initial Grant shall vest and become
payable on each anniversary of the grant date thereafter over the next three years.

4. Annual Grants

     Commencing with the 2008 annual stockholders meeting, each Eligible Director shall
automatically receive an award of 4,000 Restricted Stock Units immediately following each year’s
Annual Meeting (each, an “Annual Grant”); provided that any Eligible Director who received an
Initial Grant within three months prior to an annual meeting shall not receive an Annual Grant
until immediately following the second annual meeting after the date of such Initial Grant.
Twenty-Five Percent (25%) of each Annual Grant shall vest and become payable one year after the
grant date of such Annual Grant and an additional 25% of such Annual Grant shall vest and become
payable on each anniversary of the grant date thereafter over the next three years.

5. Settlement

     Restricted Stock Units that have vested and become payable and are no longer subject to
forfeiture are referred to herein as “Vested Units.” Restricted Stock Units that have not vested

 

 

and become payable and remain subject to forfeiture are referred to herein as “Unvested
Units.” The Unvested Units will vest and cease to be subject to forfeiture in accordance with the
applicable vesting schedule set forth in Section 3 or Section 4 hereof and the provisions of
Section 6 hereof. As soon as practicable after Unvested Units become Vested Units, the Company
will settle the Vested Units by issuing to the holder of the related Restricted Stock Unit Award
one share of the Company’s Common Stock for each Vested Unit.

6. Termination of Service as a Director

     The Restricted Stock Unit Awards shall be subject to the following:

     (a) In the event that an Eligible Director resigns from the Board without the consent of a
majority of the Board of Directors then in office, any portion of the Restricted Stock Unit Award
that has not vested as provided in the applicable vesting schedule set forth in Section 3 or
Section 4 hereof will immediately terminate and all Unvested Units shall immediately be forfeited
without payment of any further consideration to the director.

     (b) In the event that an Eligible Director ceases to be a director of the Company for any
reason other than death or resignation from the Board without the consent of a majority of the
Board of Directors then in office, the Unvested Units shall continue to vest and become Vested
Units in accordance with the applicable vesting schedule set forth in Section 3 or Section 4
hereof.

     (c) In the event of the death of an Eligible Director, the Unvested Units shall immediately
become Vested Units.

7. Company Transaction

     In the event of a Company Transaction, the vesting of the Restricted Stock Unit Awards shall
accelerate, and the forfeiture restrictions shall lapse, if and to the same extent that the vesting
of outstanding Options accelerates in connection with the Company Transaction, as provided for
under the Plan. If unvested Options are to be assumed or substituted by a Successor Company
without acceleration upon the occurrence of a Company Transaction, the vesting and forfeiture
provisions to which such Restricted Stock Unit Awards are subject shall continue with respect to
the assumed or substituted Restricted Stock Unit Awards.

8. Amendment

     The Board may amend the provisions contained herein in such respects as it deems advisable.
Any such amendment shall not, without the consent of the Eligible Director, impair or diminish any
rights of an Eligible Director or any rights of the Company under a Restricted Stock Unit Award.

     Provisions of the Plan (including any amendments) that were not discussed above, to the extent
applicable to Eligible Directors shall continue to govern the terms and conditions of Restricted
Stock Unit Awards granted to Eligible Directors.

CARDIAC SCIENCE

EXECUTIVE INCENTIVE PLAN

2009

SECTION 1 — INTRODUCTION

Plan Objectives

The goal of Cardiac Science’s Executive Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) is to enhance and reinforce the
goals of Cardiac Science Corporation (the “Company”) by providing Participants with additional
financial incentives and rewards upon the attainment of such goals. Final approval of the payment
of any awards made under the Plan is subject to the sole discretion of the Compensation Committee.
This Plan is intended to be a “bonus program” as defined under U.S. Department of Labor Regulation
Section 2510.3-2(c) and shall be construed and administered in accordance with such intention.

Effective Date

The Plan is effective for the year beginning January 1, 2009 and ending December 31, 2009.

SECTION 2 — DEFINITIONS

Unless defined elsewhere in the Plan, definitions of terms as used throughout this Plan document
are as follows:

	•	 	“Year” or “Plan Year” means the twelve-month period coinciding with the Company’s annual
fiscal year.
	 
	•	 	“Participant(s)” means an employee, or employees, as the case may be, designated and
approved by the Compensation Committee and/or the Chief Executive Officer to participate in
the Plan.

SECTION 3 — PLAN ADMINISTRATION

Administration

The Plan shall be administered by the Chief Executive Officer under the oversight of and subject to
the discretion of the Compensation Committee.

Participation

Participation in the Plan shall be limited to regular employees of the Company selected by the
Chief Executive Officer and/or the Compensation Committee. In order for an employee to remain
eligible to participate, such employee’s performance in the applicable Year must be at or above the
Company’s performance expectations for that employee. In selecting Participants, the Chief
Executive Officer and/or the Compensation Committee shall consider an employee’s position and
potential impact on the Company’s business results and performance. The incentive award for a
Participant who joins the plan mid-Year will be based on the Participant’s eligible base salary
earnings after becoming a Participant during the Year.

Bonus Awards

Page 1 of 4

 

A bonus fund shall be established for purposes of determining the total award allocations to each
Participant. Computation of the total bonus pool is described in Section 4 of this Plan. Each
Participant award is determined based on the Participant’s target incentive percentage of base
salary, achievement of company quantitative goals, and individual performance measures (Objectives)
as discussed in Section 4.

Payment of Incentives

Normal Payment. An annual incentive award is not vested until the day the award is paid
for a given Year. In order to receive an award under the Plan, the Participant receiving the award
must be an active employee on the day the award is paid. Incentive awards shall be made in the
first pay period after the Company has filed its Annual Report on Form 10-K with the SEC; provided
that such payment is made not later than the 15th day of the third calendar month of the calendar
year following the end of the applicable Plan Year. Except as provided below, no award shall be
earned by or paid to a Participant whose employment is terminated for any reason prior to the
payment date, whether during the Plan Year or during the following calendar year prior to the
payment date.

Approved Leaves of Absence. If an employee is on an approved Leave of Absence (subject to
Cardiac Science’s Leave of Absence policy) (a) on the date a Plan award payment is made that
relates to the prior Plan Year and such Participant was actively employed during the entire prior
Plan Year, such Participant shall be deemed to be employed on the date of the Plan payment and
shall receive his or her full incentive award as calculated in accordance with Section 4; or (b)
during the Plan Year, such Participant shall receive a proportionate share of what otherwise would
be the Participant’s incentive award based on his or her eligible base salary earnings (excluding
any company paid short-term disability) during the portion of the Plan Year that he or she was
actively employed and, if he or she remains on an approved Leave of Absence on the payment date, he
or she will be deemed to be employed on the payment date.

Death or Disability. If a Participant has died or become disabled and is no longer
employed (a) on the date a Plan payment is made that relates to the prior Plan Year and such
Participant was actively employed during the entire prior Plan Year, such Participant shall be
deemed to be employed on the date of the Plan payment and shall receive his or her full incentive
award as calculated in accordance with Section 4; or (b) during the Plan Year, such Participant
shall receive a proportionate share of what otherwise would be the Participant’s incentive award
based on his or her eligible base salary earnings (excluding any company paid short-term
disability) during the portion of the Plan Year that he or she was actively employed.

Participant Transfers. If a Participant is transferred to another position within the
Company during the Year, and, as a result of such transfer, is no longer eligible to participate in
the Plan as of the date of his or her transfer, he or she shall receive a proportionate share of
what otherwise would be the Participant’s incentive award based on his or her eligible base salary
earnings during the portion of the Plan Year that he or she was eligible to participate in the
Plan.

Plan Changes

The Company reserves the right to amend, revoke, or terminate this Plan or any portion of it, at
any time, for any reason whatsoever, with or without cause or advance notice. Payments may not be
made under this Plan at any time if, in the sole discretion of the Chief Executive Officer or
Compensation Committee, the overall performance of the Company does not warrant the payment of
incentive awards.

Other Conditions

Right of Assignment. No Participant may sell, assign, transfer, discount, or pledge as
collateral for a loan or otherwise anticipate his or her right to any distribution under the Plan.
In the event of a Participant’s death, payment shall be made to the Participant’s designated
beneficiary, or in the absence of such designation, to the Participant’s estate.

Right of Employment. Nothing in this Agreement alters the “at will” nature of every
Participant’s employment. A Participant or the Company may terminate a Participant’s employment
relationship for any reason or for no reason, with or without cause or advance notice.

Withholding for Taxes. The Company shall have the right, and the Participant consents, to
deduct from all payments under this Plan any federal or state taxes or other payroll withholdings
required by law to be withheld with respect to such payments.

Section 409A. The Company makes no representations or warranties to Participants with
respect to any tax, economic or legal consequences of this Plan or any payments or other benefits
provided hereunder, including without limitation under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended, the regulations issued thereunder and any applicable guidance (together “Code
Section 409A”) and no provision of the Plan shall be interpreted or construed to transfer any
liability for failure to comply with Code Section 409A from a Participant or any other individual
to the Company or any of its affiliates. Each Participant by accepting payment under the Plan
shall be deemed to have waived any claim against the Company and its affiliates with respect to any
such tax, economic or legal consequences. However, the parties intend that this Plan and the
payments and other benefits provided hereunder be exempt from the requirements of Code Section 409A
to the maximum extent possible, whether pursuant to the short-term deferral exception described in
Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(4), the involuntary separation pay plan exception described
in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii), or otherwise. To the extent Code Section 409A
is applicable to this Plan (and such payments and benefits), the parties intend that this Plan (and
such payments and benefits) comply with the deferral, payout and other limitations and restrictions
imposed under Code Section 409A. In addition, if a Participant is a “specified employee,” within
the meaning of Code Section 409A, then to the extent necessary to avoid subjecting the Participant
to the imposition of any additional tax under Code Section 409A, amounts that would otherwise be
payable under this Plan during the six month period immediately following a Participant’s
“separation from service,” as defined under Code Section 409A, shall not be paid to the Participant
during such period, but shall be accumulated and paid to the Participant in a lump sum on the first
business day after the earlier of the date that is six months following his or her separation from
service or his or her death. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan to the contrary,
this Plan shall be interpreted, operated and administered in a manner consistent with such
intentions. In accordance with the foregoing, the Plan shall be deemed to be amended, and any
deferrals and distributions hereunder shall be deemed to be modified, to the extent permitted by
and necessary to comply with Code Section 409A and to avoid or mitigate the imposition of
additional taxes under Code Section 409A.

Gender. Any masculine terminology used herein shall also include the feminine, and the
definition of any terms herein in the singular shall also include the plural.

SECTION 4 — OPERATING RULES

Plan Design

The Compensation Committee, may, at any time in its sole discretion, based on relevant facts and
circumstances, adjust incentive percentages or actual payout levels to be above or below the
established targets.

Bonus Pool. For 2009 the bonus pool will consist of 0% of consolidated pre-tax income
excluding the bonus accrual (“Adjusted Pre-Tax Income”) up to the budgeted amount of Adjusted
Pre-Tax Income,

Page 3 of 4

 

plus an accrual of 33% of any amount by which actual Adjusted Pre-Tax Income exceeds the budgeted
amount. Accordingly, the Company must achieve at least 100% of budgeted Adjusted Pre-Tax Income
before any awards will begin to accrue. In its sole discretion, the Compensation Committee
and/or the Board of Directors may make adjustments to Adjusted Pre-Tax Income for purposes of
calculating the bonus pool, in light of unusual/unexpected items or circumstances that may
otherwise affect the financial results of the Company. In addition, in its sole discretion, the
Compensation Committee and/or the Board of Directors may otherwise adjust the bonus pool directly,
based on any circumstances that the Committee/Board deem appropriate.

Target Incentives A Participant’s target incentive is a percentage of annual base salary
earnings based on his or her position with the Company in accordance with the chart below.

	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 
	CEO/COO	 	SVP	 	VP	 	Sales VP	 
	40%
	 	30%	 	25%	 	 	10%	

The target incentive is achieved based on weighted performance criteria which consist of a
combination of the Participant’s and the Company’s performance in the applicable Year as provided
in the following chart.

	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 
	Criteria	 	CEO /COO	 	SVP	 	VP	 	Sales VP	 
	Participant
	 	20%	 	20%	 	20%	 	 	100%	
	Company
	 	80%	 	80%	 	80%	 	 	0%	

Individual Performance Objectives = a weighted percentage of total incentive target.

Individual performance objectives that support the Company’s objectives are determined by
the Participant’s immediate supervisor and should be reviewed and updated semi-annually by
the Participant’s immediate supervisor. Successful achievement of a Participant’s
individual objectives is subject to the discretion of his or her immediate supervisor’s
discretion. In some cases individual performance objectives may be attached to this Plan as
Exhibit A. This portion of the incentive award is paid annually in accordance with Section
3.

Company Objectives = a weighted percentage of total incentive target.

Company objectives are based on the achievement of targeted Adjusted Pre-Tax Income, defined
below, and on meeting the corporate objectives agreed upon at the beginning of the Year.
This portion of the incentive award is also paid annually in accordance with Section 3.

The Compensation Committee, may, at any time in its sole discretion, based on relevant facts and
circumstances, adjust incentive percentages or actual payout levels to be above or below the
established targets.

The Plan is adopted by the Company and is effective January 1, 2009.
