 Exhibit 10.3 
 AngioDynamics, Inc. Management Profitability 
 Bonus Program (amended as of August 15, 2006) 
 

 
 Management Profitability Bonus Program 
 Overview 
 As it is results in an ideal situation when both the
corporation achieves its financial goals and when each member of the management staff achieves their individual objectives, it makes sense to use the AngioDynamics Profitability Bonus Program as a tool to help us manage our business and motive our
management staff to support the direction of the company. 
 Effective June 1, 2003, the AngioDynamics Profitability Bonus Program was modified to
include individual performance objectives, also known as MBO’s, which will constitute 30% of the employees total available bonus each year. The MBO segment of the bonus will be calculated and paid at year-end, while the EBIT achievement will
remain as a quarterly program, resulting in an available 70% of the total bonus opportunity for quarterly payout. 
 In addition one fourth (1/4) of the
70% opportunity based on achieving quarterly EBIT objectives will be held until year-end, to ensure that year-end financial goals are met in addition to those for each quarter. 
 MBO Development 
 The establishment of MBO’s will be done in conjunction with each employees’
immediate supervisor and the appropriate department head, prior to June 1st of each year. 
 Additional information will be provided to all members of the management team to help with the development of clear and effective individual objectives. 
 Standard Bonus Levels 
 Standard bonuses will be paid according
to the following schedule, based on management level: 
  

			
	 Title/Position
	  	 Annual
 Target Bonus

	President	  	50% of base salary
	Vice President	  	30% of base salary
	Director	  	20% of base salary
	Manager	  	15% of base salary
	Supervisor/Engineer	  	10% of base salary
	Individual Contributor	  	10% of base salary

 Eligibility 
 This plan is applicable to salaried managerial and supervisory personnel, as well as individual contributors when appropriate. In order to receive bonus payments: 
  

	 	•	 	Employees must be in good standing (as defined by the AngioDynamics employee handbook) for the entire quarter for which the bonus is being paid and/or escrow is being calculated.
Receipt of a written warning, a performance plan of action, or other disciplinary action will nullify an employees’ bonus opportunity for that particular quarter. 

  

	 	•	 	Employees must be considered “Active” at the time the bonus is actually paid. Terminated employees or those that resign for whatever reason will not be eligible for any
bonus payments for the current or prior quarter. 

  

	 	•	 	Anyone being considered for an Individual Contributor award must be nominated by their supervisor and be approved by executive management. 

 Bonus Payments 
 Quarterly Corporate Objectives

 The portion of the profitability bonus (70% of the total bonus opportunity) that is determined by the company’s financial results will be paid
quarterly based on achievement of the budgeted income from operations for the fiscal quarter. 
 25% of this earned quarterly bonus will be rolled into a
year-end profitability bonus pool. This money is eligible for distribution at fiscal year end and is based on achieving the year-end operating income budget. 
 No profitability bonus will be paid if 100% of the budgeted income from operations for the quarter is not achieved. 
 Year-End Individual
Objectives (MBO’S) 
 The MBO portion of the profitability bonus program (30% of the total bonus opportunity) will be paid at year-end based on
achievement of individual MBO’s. Your immediate supervisor will review each of the objectives with you at the end of the fiscal year and a determination will be made as to your progress towards completion and your bonus entitlement. 

Year End Corporate Objectives 
 Quarterly Escrow 
 The escrowed amount set aside from each of the prior quarters in which bonus was paid, is eligible for distribution at
fiscal year end and is based on achieving the year-end operating income budget. If year-end operating income budget is not achieved, this amount will not be distributed as a profitability bonus. 
 If a quarterly bonus payment is made but ultimately year-end income from operations budget is not achieved, the Company reserves the right to offset the quarterly bonus
payment against future bonuses 

 If certain quarterly bonus payments are not made but ultimately year-end results achieve 100% of budget, the Company will
pay bonuses proportionately with the amount remaining in the bonus pool. 
 Overachievement Bonus 
 This program also offers an addition element based on overachievement of the budgeted income from operations. At the completion of the fiscal year, should the company
have exceeded its EBIT goal, the total profitability bonus will be increased to a maximum of 1.5 times the original target bonus for 120% achievement of the income from operations. 
  

	 	•	 	No additional bonus will be paid for overachievement greater than 120% of budgeted income from operations. 

  

	 	•	 	The bonus will be extrapolated for overachievement between 100% and 120%. 

 Summary 
 For AngioDynamics to be successful in maintaining its business strategy, the organization must possess certain capabilities.
AngioDynamics must be able to do certain things well in order for our business strategy to become a reality. The primary element that will ensure our success is our people. The primary purpose of this program is to recognize those members of the
management team who contribute to AngioDynamics’ success and to reward them appropriately.Employment Agreement

 Exhibit 10.1 
 EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT 
 THIS EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is
made and entered into this 16th day of August 2006, by and between SeraCare Life Sciences, Inc., a California corporation (the “Company”), and Gregory A. Gould, an individual (the “Executive”). 
 RECITALS 
 THE PARTIES ENTER THIS
AGREEMENT on the basis of the following facts, understandings and intentions: 
 A. The Company desires that the Executive be
employed by the Company to carry out the duties and responsibilities described below, all on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth. 
 B. The Executive desires to accept such employment on such terms and conditions. 
 C. This Agreement shall govern the
employment relationship between the Executive and the Company from and after the Effective Date (as defined below) and supersedes and negates all previous agreements with respect to such relationship. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the above recitals incorporated herein and the mutual covenants and promises contained herein and other good
and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby expressly acknowledged, the parties agree as follows: 
  

	1.	Retention and Duties. 

  

	 	1.1	Bankruptcy Court Approval. On March 22, 2006, the Company filed a voluntary petition for reorganization under chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the
“Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of California (the “Bankruptcy Court”). The Company’s case is No. 06-00510-11 (the “Bankruptcy Case”). The parties
acknowledge that this Agreement shall not be effective unless and until approved by the Bankruptcy Court. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Effective Date” means the date on which the Company receives Bankruptcy Court
approval of this Agreement. 

  

	 	1.2	Retention. The Company does hereby hire, engage and employ the Executive for the Period of Employment (as defined in Section 2) on the terms and conditions
expressly set forth in this Agreement. The Executive does hereby accept and agree to such hiring, engagement and employment, on the terms and conditions expressly set forth in this Agreement. 

  

	 	1.3	 Duties. During the Period of Employment, the Executive shall serve the Company as its Chief Financial Officer and shall have such other duties and
responsibilities as the Chief Executive Officer of the Company (the “CEO”) or the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) may determine from time to time. The Executive shall be subject to the published
corporate policies of the 

	 	 
Company as they are in effect from time to time throughout the Period of Employment (including, without limitation, the Company’s business conduct and
ethics policies, as they may change from time to time). During the Period of Employment, the Executive shall report to the CEO. 

  

	 	1.4	No Other Employment; Minimum Time Commitment. During the Period of Employment, the Executive shall both (i) devote substantially all of the Executive’s
business time, energy and skill to the performance of the Executive’s duties for the Company, and (ii) hold no other employment. The Executive’s service on the boards of directors (or similar body) of other business entities, or the
provision of other services thereto, is subject to the prior written approval of the Board. The Company shall have the right to require the Executive to resign from any board or similar body on which he may then serve if the Board reasonably
determines that the Executive’s service on such board or body interferes with the effective discharge of the Executive’s duties and responsibilities to the Company or that any business related to such service is then in competition with
any business of the Company or any of its affiliates, successors or assigns. Subject to the Company’s rights pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Company expressly approves and acknowledges Executive’s service on the board of directors
of CytoDyn, Inc. (CYDY), without the need for further Board action. 

  

	 	1.5	No Breach of Contract. The Executive hereby represents to the Company that, to the best of his knowledge and belief: (i) the execution and delivery of this
Agreement by the Executive and the Company and the performance by the Executive of the Executive’s duties hereunder shall not constitute a breach of, or otherwise contravene, the terms of any other agreement or policy to which the Executive is
a party or otherwise bound; (ii) the Executive has no information (including, without limitation, confidential information or trade secrets) relating to any other person or entity which would prevent, or be violated by, the Executive entering
into this Agreement or carrying out his duties hereunder; and (iii) the Executive is not bound by any confidentiality, trade secret or similar agreement (other than this Agreement and the Employee Confidentiality Agreement attached hereto as
Exhibit A (the “Confidentiality Agreement”) and that certain Nondisclosure Agreement effective as of April 20, 2006 by and between Executive and Ciphergen Biosystems, Inc.), with any other person or entity.

  

	 	1.6	Location. The Executive’s principal place of employment shall be the Company’s principal executive offices, as they may be located from time to time. The
Executive agrees that he will be regularly present at the Company’s principal executive offices. The Executive acknowledges that he may be required to travel from time to time in the course of performing his duties for the Company.

  

	2.	 Period of Employment. The “Period of Employment” shall be a period of three (3) years commencing on the Effective Date and
ending at the close of business on the third (3rd) anniversary of the Effective Date (the “Termination Date”); provided, however, that 

	 	 
this Agreement shall be automatically renewed, and the Period of Employment shall be automatically extended for one (1) additional year on the
Termination Date and each anniversary of the Termination Date thereafter, unless either party gives notice, in writing, at least sixty (60) days prior to the expiration of the Period of Employment (including any renewal thereof) of such
party’s desire to terminate the Period of Employment. The term “Period of Employment” shall include any extension thereof pursuant to the preceding sentence. If the Company provides notice that the Period of Employment shall not be
extended or further extended, as the case may be, the Executive’s employment by the Company shall terminate at the end of the Period of Employment then in effect and, in connection with such termination of employment and subject to
Section 5.4, the Executive shall be entitled to all the severance benefits provided in Section 5.3(b)(i)-(iv). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Period of Employment is subject to earlier termination as provided below in this Agreement.

  

	3.	Compensation. 

  

	 	3.1	Base Salary. The Executive’s base salary (the “Base Salary”) shall be paid in accordance with the Company’s regular payroll practices in
effect from time to time, but not less frequently than in monthly installments. The Executive’s Base Salary for the first twelve (12) months of the Period of Employment shall be at an annualized rate of Two Hundred and Fifty Thousand
Dollars ($250,000). The Company will review the Executive’s Base Salary at least annually and may increase (but not decrease) the Executive’s Base Salary from the rate then in effect based on such review. 

  

	 	3.2	Incentive Bonus. For each fiscal year of the Company that ends during the Period of Employment, the Executive shall be eligible to receive an annual incentive bonus
(“Incentive Bonus”) in an amount to be determined by the Board (or the Compensation Committee thereof) in its sole discretion, based on the performance objectives established by the Board for that particular period. The
Executive’s target Incentive Bonus amount for any such fiscal year shall be equal to least seventy five percent (75%) of the Executive’s Base Salary for that particular year, and there shall be no caps (other than any maximum amount
provided under any applicable stockholder-approved incentive plan under which the particular bonus opportunity may be structured or any maximum amount that may be determined pursuant to any incentive compensation formula that may be adopted pursuant
to the applicable incentive plan) on the total Incentive Bonus payable to Executive for any year. 

  

	 	3.3	Signing Bonus. In consideration for the Executive’s execution of this Agreement and subject to the Executive’s actually commencing employment with the
Company, the Executive shall be entitled to a cash payment in the amount of Fifteen Thousand Dollars ($15,000) on or as soon as practicable after the Effective Date. 

  

	 	3.4	 Stock Option Grants. Subject to this Section 3.4, on the Effective Date the Company will grant to the Executive a nonqualified stock option (the
“Option”) to 

	 	 
purchase 250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, no par value (the “Common Stock”). The exercise price per share of the Option
will be equal to the fair market value of a share of the Common Stock on the Effective Date. The Board (or Compensation Committee thereof) will determine such fair market value in its reasonable, good faith discretion (it being intended that, if the
Common Stock is then not publicly traded other than on the over-the-counter market, such fair market value shall be based on the last sales price for a share of Common Stock as quoted on the Pink Sheets unless such methodology does not, in the
Board’s reasonable, good faith discretion, produce an accurate fair market value in the circumstances). The Option will vest in substantially equal annual installments (equal installments except that the installments will be rounded to produce
vesting installments of whole share increments) over the three-year period following the Effective Date. Except as otherwise provided herein or in the Option Agreement referenced below, in each case, the vesting of each installment of the Option is
subject to the Executive’s continued employment by the Company through the respective vesting date. The maximum term of the Option will be ten (10) years from the date of grant of the Option, subject to earlier termination upon the
termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company, a change in control of the Company and similar events. The Option shall be subject to such further terms and conditions as set forth in a written stock option agreement to be entered
into by the Company and the Executive to evidence the Option (the “Option Agreement”). The Option Agreement shall be in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit C. 

 Executive shall also be eligible to participate in and receive additional grants commensurate with his position and level in any stock option plan and
restricted stock plan or other equity-based or equity related compensation plan, programs or agreements of the Company made available generally to its senior executives; provided that the amount, timing, and other terms of any future grant shall be
determined by the Board (or the Compensation Committee thereof) in its sole discretion. 
  

	4.	Benefits. 

  

	 	4.1	Retirement, Welfare and Fringe Benefits. During the Period of Employment, the Executive shall be entitled to participate in all employee pension and welfare benefit
plans and programs, and fringe benefit plans and programs, made available by the Company to the Company’s employees generally, in accordance with the eligibility and participation provisions of such plans and as such plans or programs may be in
effect from time to time. 

  

	 	4.2	Reimbursement of Business Expenses. The Executive is authorized to incur reasonable expenses in carrying out the Executive’s duties for the Company under this
Agreement and reimbursement for all reasonable business expenses the Executive incurs during the Period of Employment in connection with carrying out the Executive’s duties for the Company, subject to the Company’s expense reimbursement
policies in effect from time to time. 

	 	4.3	Vacation and Other Leave. During the Period of Employment, the Executive shall accrue and be entitled to take paid vacation in accordance with the Company’s
vacation policies in effect from time to time, including the Company’s policies regarding vacation accruals; provided that the Executive’s rate of vacation accrual during the Period of Employment shall be no less than four (4) weeks
per year. The Executive shall also be entitled to all other holiday and leave pay generally available to other executives of the Company. 

  

	 	4.4	Relocation Costs. Upon commencement of the Period of Employment, the Company shall pay or reimburse the Executive for his reasonable, documented relocation expenses,
including but not limited to, real estate commissions, temporary housing and travel to and from Colorado, incurred in relocating his permanent residence to the area in which the Company’s principal offices are located. To the extent that any
such payment or reimbursement is taxable to the Executive, the Company shall pay the Executive a gross-up so the Executive has no after-tax costs with regard to such payment or reimbursement. In no event, however, will the Company have any such
payment, reimbursement or other obligation to the Executive pursuant to this Section 4.4 (including, without limitation, as to any such gross-up payment) to the extent that such payments, reimbursements, or other obligations to the Executive
pursuant to this Section 4.4 exceed One Hundred and Seventy Five Thousand Dollars ($175,000) in the aggregate taking into account all such previous payments and reimbursements. 

  

	5.	Termination. 

  

	 	5.1	Termination by the Company. The Executive’s employment by the Company, and the Period of Employment, may be terminated by the Company: (i) at any time with
Cause (as defined in and subject to the provisions of Section 5.5), or (ii) with no less than thirty (30) days advance notice to the Executive, without Cause, (iii) in the event of the Executive’s death, or (iv) in the
event that the Board determines in good faith that the Executive has a Disability (as defined in Section 5.5). 

  

	 	5.2	Termination by the Executive. The Executive’s employment by the Company, and the Period of Employment, may be terminated by the Executive with no less than thirty
(30) days advance notice to the Company; provided, however, that in the case of a termination for Good Reason, the Executive may provide immediate written notice if the Company fails to, or cannot, pursuant to Section 5.5(d) reasonably
cure the event that constitutes Good Reason. 

  

	 	5.3	 Benefits Upon Termination. If the Executive’s employment by the Company is terminated during the Period of Employment for any reason by the
Company or by the Executive, or upon or following the expiration of the Period of Employment (in any case, the date that the Executive’s employment by the Company terminates is referred to as the “Severance Date”), the Company
shall have no further obligation to make or provide to the Executive, and the Executive 

	 	 
shall have no further right to receive or obtain from the Company, any payments or benefits except as follows: 

  

	 	(a)	The Company shall pay the Executive (or, in the event of his death, the Executive’s estate) any Accrued Obligations (as defined in Section 5.5); 

 

	 	(b)	If, during the Period of Employment, the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause or by the Executive for Good Reason (as such terms are defined in
Section 5.5), the Company shall, subject to the following provisions of this Section 5.3 and the provisions of Section 5.4, pay (in addition to the Accrued Obligations) the Executive the following severance benefits (the
“Severance Benefits”): 

  

	 	(i)	The Company shall pay the Executive an amount, subject to tax withholding and other authorized deductions, equal to the sum of: 

  

	 	(x)	one times the Executive’s Base Salary at the annual rate in effect on the Severance Date, plus 

  

	 	(y)	a pro-rated amount of the Executive’s Incentive Bonus for the year in which such Severance Date occurs. For purposes of determining the pro-rated amount of the Incentive Bonus
to be paid pursuant to this clause (y), the applicable performance objectives for the year in which the Severance Date occurs shall be pro-rated to reflect the portion of the year completed prior to the Severance Date and the Board shall in good
faith determine the amount of the Incentive Bonus that would be paid if the applicable measurement criteria were such short-year objectives (by comparing actual performance for such short year against such pro-rated objectives). A pro-rated amount
of such Incentive Bonus amount shall then be paid pursuant to this clause(y). (For purposes of illustration, if the Severance Date occurs half-way through the related fiscal year of the Company, and the Executive’s target Incentive Bonus for
such fiscal year was 75% of his Base Salary for that year, and the Board determines that the related performance objectives (as pro-rated) were satisfied at target for such short year based on actual performance for the first half of that year,
37.5% of the target bonus amount (50% of 75%) would be paid.) 

 However, in the event that the Executive’s Severance Date
occurs upon or after the occurrence of both of the following events: (1) the occurrence of a Change in Control Event (as defined below) of the Company and (2) the Bankruptcy Effective Date (as such term is defined below), and the Executive
is entitled to benefits pursuant 

 
to this Section 5.3(b), then the amount paid pursuant to clause (i)(x) shall equal one and one-half (1.5) times the Executive’s Base
Salary at the annual rate in effect on the Severance Date (as opposed to, and not in addition to, the amount otherwise provided in clause (i)(x)). For purposes of this Agreement, “Change in Control Event” has the meaning given to such term
in the form of Option Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit C. For purposes of this Agreement, “Bankruptcy Effective Date” means the effective date of the Company’s plan of reorganization as approved by the Bankruptcy Court in the
Bankruptcy Case proceedings. 
 In the event that the Executive’s Severance Date occurs upon or after the occurrence of all of the
following events: (1) the occurrence of a Change in Control Event of the Company, (2) the Bankruptcy Effective Date, and (3) the first anniversary of the Effective Date, and the Executive is entitled to benefits pursuant to this
Section 5.3(b), then the amount otherwise payable pursuant to this clause (i) (as determined pursuant to the preceding paragraphs of this clause (i)) shall be increased by one and one-half (1.5) times the Executive’s target
Incentive Bonus for the year in which such Severance Date occurs. 
 Subject to Section 21, the severance benefit determined pursuant to
this clause (i) shall be paid by the Company in a single lump sum not later than thirty (30) days after the Executive’s Severance Date. 
  

	 	(ii)	The Company will pay or reimburse the Executive for his premiums charged to continue medical coverage pursuant to the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act
(“COBRA”), at the same or reasonably equivalent medical coverage for the Executive (and, if applicable, the Executive’s eligible dependents) as in effect immediately prior to the Severance Date, to the extent that the Executive
elects such continued coverage; provided that the Company’s obligation to make any payment or reimbursement pursuant to this clause (ii) shall cease upon the first to occur of (a) the first anniversary of the Severance Date;
(b) the Executive’s death; (c) the date the Executive becomes eligible for coverage under the health plan of a future employer; or (d) the date the Company or its affiliates ceases to offer any group medical coverage to its
active executive employees or the Company is otherwise under no obligation to offer COBRA continuation coverage to the Executive. 

  

	 	(iii)	 The stock options granted to the Executive pursuant to Section 3.4 and any additional stock options or equity or equity-related compensation or grants that
vest based on the passage of time and 

	 	 
continued performance of services (to the extent outstanding and not otherwise vested as of the Severance Date, and exclusive of any grants that include
performance-based vesting criteria) shall become fully vested immediately prior to such termination. Except as provided in this Section 5.3(b)(iii), the effect of a termination of the Executive’s employment on the Executive’s stock
options (including any limited period to exercise such options) shall be determined under the terms of the award agreement evidencing such option. 

  

	 	(iv)	Company shall reimburse Executive for amounts, not in excess of Thirty-Six Thousand Dollars ($36,000.00) in the aggregate taking into account all such expenses previously
reimbursed, expended by Executive for executive outplacement services from a provider of his choice. Such submitted expenses shall be reimbursed by the Company on the earlier of the date thirty (30) days after submission by the Executive of
such expenses for reimbursement or December 31st of the second calendar year following the Date of Termination. 

 Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.3, if the Executive materially breaches any of his obligations under the Confidentiality Agreement or under the Non-Competition Agreement (as defined in Section 6) at any
time, from and after the date of such breach, the Executive will no longer be entitled to, and the Company will no longer be obligated to pay, any remaining unpaid portion of the Severance Benefits (and, without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, any reimbursement obligation pursuant to clause (iii) or (iv) above shall terminate). 
 The foregoing provisions of this
Section 5.3 shall not affect: (i) the Executive’s receipt of benefits otherwise due terminated employees under group insurance coverage consistent with the terms of the applicable Company welfare benefit plan; (ii) the
Executive’s rights under COBRA to continue participation in medical, dental, hospitalization and life insurance coverage; or (iii) the Executive’s receipt of benefits otherwise due in accordance with the terms of the Company’s
401(k) plan (if any). 
  

	 	5.4	Release; Exclusive Remedy. 

  

	 	(a)	 This Section 5.4 shall apply notwithstanding anything else contained in this Agreement, the Option Agreement or any other stock option, restricted stock or
other equity-based award agreement to the contrary. As a condition precedent to any Company obligation to the Executive pursuant to Section 5.3(b) or any obligation to accelerate vesting of any equity-based award in connection with the
termination of the Executive’s employment, the Executive shall, upon or promptly following his last day of employment with the Company, provide the Company with a valid, executed general release agreement in a form acceptable to the Company,

	 	 
and such release agreement shall have not been revoked by the Executive pursuant to any revocation rights afforded by applicable law. Such release shall be
in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit E (together with any changes thereto as the Company may determine necessary or appropriate to render the release enforceable to the fullest extent possible). The Company shall have no obligation
to make any payment to the Executive pursuant to Section 5.3(b) (or otherwise accelerate the vesting of any equity-based award in the circumstances as otherwise contemplated by the applicable award agreement) unless and until the release
agreement contemplated by this Section 5.4 becomes irrevocable by the Executive in accordance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations. 

  

	 	(b)	The Company and the Executive acknowledge and agree that there is no duty of the Executive to mitigate damages under this Agreement. All amounts paid to the Executive pursuant to
Section 5.3 shall be paid without regard to whether the Executive has taken or takes actions to mitigate damages. 

  

	 	(c)	In the event of any termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company (regardless of the reason for such termination), Executive irrevocably resigns from the Board
effective as of the time of such termination. 

  

	 	5.5	Certain Defined Terms. 

  

	 	(a)	As used herein, “Accrued Obligations” means: 

  

	 	(i)	any Base Salary that had accrued but had not been paid (including accrued and unpaid vacation time) on or before the Severance Date; and 

  

	 	(ii)	any Incentive Bonus payable pursuant to Section 3.2 with respect to any fiscal year that ends during the Period of Employment preceding the fiscal year in which the Severance
Date occurs to the extent earned by but not previously paid to the Executive; and 

  

	 	(iii)	any reimbursement due to the Executive pursuant to Section 4.2 or Section 4.4 for expenses incurred by the Executive on or before the Severance Date.

  

	 	(b)	 As used herein, “Cause” shall mean, as reasonably determined by the Board (excluding the Executive, if he is then a member of the Board),
(i) any act of willful personal dishonesty taken by the Executive in connection with his responsibilities as an employee of the Company which is intended to result in substantial personal enrichment of the Executive, (ii) the
Executive’s conviction of, indictment for, or pleading guilty or nolo contendere to, or entering a similar plea to, a misdemeanor involving moral turpitude or a 

	 	 
felony, (iii) fraud or willful and material misconduct by the Executive, (iv) a willful violation by the Executive of the Executive’s material
obligations to the Company (including, without limitation, any willful refusal of the Executive to perform his duties for the Company) or other material breach by the Executive of this Agreement, (v) the Executive is found liable in any
Securities and Exchange Commission or other civil or criminal securities law action, or (vi) a material breach by the Executive of the Confidentiality Agreement or of the Non-Competition Agreement. No act or failure to act by Executive shall be
considered “willful” if such act is or was done (or is or was omitted to be done) in the good faith belief that it is or was in the best interests of the Company. Prior to any purported termination for Cause, the Company shall send a
written notice of termination to the Executive indicating the specific provision in this Agreement on which such a claim of Cause would be based, and setting forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances on which such a claim would be
based. In the event of any claim of Cause based on clause (iii) or (iv) of the foregoing definition of “Cause”, the Executive shall be given an opportunity (of not more than 30 days) to promptly cure such conduct (or lack
thereof); provided, however, that the Company need not give the Executive the opportunity to cure conduct (or lack thereof) that is substantially similar to past conduct (or lack thereof) for which such a notice was provided within the preceding
18-month period. Further, before any actual termination of the Executive’s employment for Cause, the Executive shall be given an opportunity to be heard by the Board as to the circumstances purporting to constitute Cause and any determination
to terminate the Executive’s employment for Cause shall be by a vote of not less than two-thirds of the entire Board (exclusive of the Executive if he is then a director). 

  

	 	(c)	As used herein, “Disability” shall mean a physical or mental impairment which, as reasonably determined by the Board, renders the Executive unable to perform the
essential functions of his employment with the Company, even with reasonable accommodation that does not impose an undue hardship on the Company, for more than 180 days in any 12-month period, unless a longer period is required by federal or state
law, in which case that longer period would apply. 

  

	 	(d)	 As used herein, “Good Reason” shall mean the occurrence of any of the following: (i) without the Executive’s express written consent, a
material reduction or material adverse change in the nature or scope of the Executive’s duties, authorities, titles, position or responsibilities relative to the Executive’s duties, authorities, titles, position or responsibilities in
effect immediately prior to such reduction, or the removal of the Executive from such duties, authorities, titles, position or responsibilities (in no 

	 	 
event, however, shall the Company ceasing to be a publicly-traded corporation, in and of itself, constitute Good Reason pursuant to this clause (i));
(ii) a reduction by the Company of the Executive’s rate of Base Salary or target level of annual incentive compensation below the minimum set forth in Section 3.2, or the termination or material reduction of any benefit plan or
program of the Company (other than a termination or reduction of any such benefit plan or program that is a termination or reduction of general applicability and does not single out the Executive); (iii) the relocation of the principal
executive offices of the Company to a location that is more than 50 miles outside of West Bridgewater, MA; (iv) failure of the Company to obtain the agreement from any successor to the Company to assume and agree to perform this Agreement as
required by Section 8; or (v) any other material breach of this Agreement by the Company; provided that Good Reason shall not exist pursuant to clause (i), (ii) or (v) above unless the Executive shall have first provided written
notice to the Company of the circumstances that would otherwise constitute Good Reason and the Company shall have failed to reasonably cure such circumstances promptly (and in no event more than 30 days after) its receipt of such notice (provided,
however, that the Executive need not give the Company the opportunity to cure conduct (or lack thereof) that is substantially similar to past conduct (or lack thereof) for which such a notice was provided within the preceding 18-month period);
further provided that any notice of termination for Good Reason must be made not later than 180 days after the circumstances giving rise to such claim of Good Reason are first known to exist (or first reasonably should have been known to exist) by
the Executive. 

  

	 	5.6	Notice of Termination. Any termination of the Executive’s employment under this Agreement shall be communicated by written notice of termination from the
terminating party to the other party. The notice of termination shall indicate the specific provision(s) of this Agreement relied upon in effecting the termination. 

  

	 	5.7	Section 280G. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, the Executive shall be covered by the provisions set forth in Exhibit D hereto, incorporated
herein by this reference. 

  

	6.	Confidential and Proprietary Information; Non-Solicitation. Concurrently with entering into this Agreement, the Executive will execute and deliver to the Company the
Confidentiality Agreement. Concurrently with entering into this Agreement, the Executive will also execute and deliver to the Company the Non-Competition Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Non-Competition
Agreement”). 

  

	7.	Withholding Taxes. Notwithstanding anything else herein to the contrary, the Company may withhold (or cause there to be withheld, as the case may be) from any amounts
otherwise due or payable under or pursuant to this Agreement such federal, state and local income, employment, or other taxes as may be required to be withheld pursuant to any applicable law or regulation. 

	8.	Assignment. This Agreement is personal in its nature and neither of the parties hereto shall, without the consent of the other, assign or transfer this Agreement or
any rights or obligations hereunder; provided, however, that the Company will require any successor (whether direct or indirect) by purchase, merger, consolidation, or transfer or sale of all or substantially all of its businesses or
assets of the Company with or to any other individual(s) or entity, or otherwise, to assume, discharge and perform all of the promises, covenants, duties, and obligations of the Company hereunder. 

 This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Executive’s personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators,
successors, heirs, distributees, devisees and legatees. If the Executive shall die while any amount would still be payable to the Executive hereunder (other than amounts which, by their terms, terminate upon the death of the Executive), all such
amounts, unless otherwise provided herein, shall be paid on the Executive’s behalf to the Executive’s executors, personal representatives or administrators of the Executive’s estate. 
  

	9.	Number and Gender. Where the context requires, the singular shall include the plural, the plural shall include the singular, and any gender shall include all other
genders. 

  

	10.	Section Headings. The section headings of, and titles of paragraphs and subparagraphs contained in, this Agreement are for the purpose of convenience only, and they
neither form a part of this Agreement nor are they to be used in the construction or interpretation thereof. 

  

	11.	Governing Law. This Agreement, and all questions relating to its validity, interpretation, performance and enforcement, as well as the legal relations hereby created
between the parties hereto, shall be governed by and construed under, and interpreted and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of Massachusetts, notwithstanding any Massachusetts or other conflict of law provision to the contrary.

  

	12.	Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof is held invalid, the invalidity shall not affect other provisions or applications of this
Agreement which can be given effect without the invalid provisions or applications and to this end the provisions of this Agreement are declared to be severable. 

  

	13.	Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the Confidentiality Agreement, the Non-Competition Agreement and the Option Agreement, embodies the entire agreement of
the parties hereto respecting the matters within its scope. This Agreement supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements of the parties hereto that directly or indirectly bears upon the subject matter hereof. Any prior negotiations,
correspondence, agreements, proposals or understandings relating to the subject matter hereof shall be deemed to have been merged into this Agreement, and to the extent inconsistent herewith, such negotiations, correspondence, agreements, proposals,
or understandings shall be deemed to be of no force or effect. There are no representations, warranties, or agreements, whether express or implied, or oral or written, with respect to the subject matter hereof, except as expressly set forth herein.

	14.	Modifications. This Agreement may not be amended, modified or changed (in whole or in part), except by a formal, definitive written agreement expressly referring to
this Agreement, which agreement is executed by both of the parties hereto. 

  

	15.	Waiver. Neither the failure nor any delay on the part of a party to exercise any right, remedy, power or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver
thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise of the same or of any right, remedy, power or privilege, nor shall any waiver of any right, remedy, power or privilege
with respect to any occurrence be construed as a waiver of such right, remedy, power or privilege with respect to any other occurrence. No waiver shall be effective unless it is in writing and is signed by the party asserted to have granted such
waiver. 

  

	16.	Arbitration. Any controversy arising out of or relating to the Executive’s employment or membership on the Board (whether or not before or after expiration
of the Period of Employment), any termination of the Executive’s employment or membership on the Board, this Agreement, the Confidentiality Agreement, the Non-Competition Agreement, the Option Agreement, the enforcement or interpretation of any
of such agreements, or because of an alleged breach, default, or misrepresentation in connection with any of the provisions of any such agreement, including (without limitation) any state or federal statutory claims, shall be submitted to
arbitration in Boston, Massachusetts before a sole arbitrator mutually agreed upon by the Executive and the Company. In the event the parties can not mutually agree upon such an arbitrator, the dispute shall be heard by a panel of three arbitrators,
one appointed by the Company, one appointed by the Executive, and the third heard by the other two arbitrators. Notwithstanding the foregoing, provisional injunctive relief may, but need not, be sought in a court of law while arbitration proceedings
are pending, and any provisional injunctive relief granted by such court shall remain effective until the matter is finally determined by the arbitrator (or arbitrators). The arbitration shall be administered by American Arbitration Association
pursuant to its Employment Arbitration Rules and Mediation Procedures. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. 

 The parties acknowledge and agree that they are hereby waiving any rights to trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim brought by either of the parties against the other in connection with any matter
whatsoever arising out of or in any way connected with any of the matters referenced in the first sentence of the first paragraph of this Section 16. 
 To the extent permitted by law, the prevailing party (if a prevailing party is determined to exist by the arbitrator or arbitrators) in any proceeding or action under this Section 16 shall be entitled, in
addition to any other damages or relief awarded, to an award of reasonable legal and accounting fees, expenses and other out-of-pocket costs incurred by such party (including any costs and fees incurred by and payable to the arbitrator (or
arbitrators) and any costs incurred in enforcing any such award), not to exceed such fees incurred by the non-prevailing party regardless of whether such proceeding or action proceeds to final judgment; provided, however, that the Company shall not
be deemed a “prevailing party” for this purpose unless the arbitrator (or arbitrators) determines that the 

 
Executive did not have a reasonable good faith belief that he would prevail as to at least one material issue presented to the arbitrator (or arbitrators).

 Without limiting the remedies available to the parties and notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 16, the Executive
and the Company acknowledge that any breach of any of the covenants or provisions contained in the Confidentiality Agreement or in the Non-Competition Agreement could result in irreparable injury to either of the parties hereto for which there might
be no adequate remedy at law, and that, in the event of such a breach or threat thereof, the non-breaching party shall be entitled to obtain a temporary restraining order and/or a preliminary injunction and a permanent injunction restraining the
other party hereto from engaging in any activities prohibited by any covenant or provision in the Confidentiality Agreement or the Non-Competition Agreement, as applicable, or such other equitable relief as may be required to enforce specifically
any of such covenants or provisions. 
  

	17.	Insurance. The Company shall have the right at its own cost and expense to apply for and to secure in its own name, or otherwise, life, health or accident insurance or
any or all of them covering the Executive, and the Executive agrees to submit to any usual and customary medical examination and otherwise cooperate with the Company in connection with the procurement of any such insurance and any claims thereunder.

  

	18.	Notices. 

 All notices, requests, demands and
other communications required or permitted under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given and made if (i) delivered by hand, (ii) otherwise delivered against receipt therefor, or (iii) sent by
registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested. Any notice shall be duly addressed to the parties as follows: 
 if
to the Company: 
 SeraCare Life Sciences, Inc. 
 375 West Street 
 West Bridgewater, MA 02379 
 Attn: Board of Directors 
 if to the
Executive, to the address most recently on file in the payroll records of the Company. 
 Any party may alter the address to which
communications or copies are to be sent by giving notice of such change of address in conformity with the provisions of this Section 18 for the giving of notice. Any communication shall be effective when delivered by hand, when otherwise
delivered against receipt therefor, or five (5) business days after being mailed in accordance with the foregoing. 
  

	19.	 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original as against any party whose
signature appears thereon, 

	 	 
and all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement shall become binding when one or more counterparts hereof,
individually or taken together, shall bear the signatures of all of the parties reflected hereon as the signatories. Photographic copies of such signed counterparts may be used in lieu of the originals for any purpose. 

 

	20.	Legal Counsel; Mutual Drafting. Each party recognizes that this is a legally binding contract and acknowledges and agrees that they have had the opportunity to consult
with legal counsel of their choice. Each party has cooperated in the drafting, negotiation and preparation of this Agreement. Hence, in any construction to be made of this Agreement, the same shall not be construed against either party on the basis
of that party being the drafter of such language. The Executive agrees and acknowledges that he has read and understands this Agreement, is entering into it freely and voluntarily, and has been advised to seek counsel prior to entering into this
Agreement and has had ample opportunity to do so. The Company agrees to reimburse the Executive for all expenses and costs (including fees for legal counsel), incurred by his relating to advice, drafting, negotiation, and preparation of this
Agreement and any related agreements, up to a maximum of Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000.00) in the aggregate. 

  

	21.	Code Section 409A. 

 It is
intended that any amounts payable under this Agreement and the Company’s and the Executive’s exercise of authority or discretion hereunder shall either be exempt from or comply with Section 409A of the Code (including the Treasury
regulations and other published guidance relating thereto) (“Code Section 409A”) so as not to subject the Executive to payment of any interest or additional tax imposed under Code Section 409A. To the extent that any
amount payable under this Agreement would trigger the additional tax imposed by Code Section 409A, the Agreement shall be modified to avoid such additional tax yet preserve (to the nearest extent reasonably possible) the intended benefit
payable to the Executive. 
 Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if the Executive is a “specified
employee” as defined in Code Section 409A, and, as a result of that status, any portion of the payments under this Agreement would otherwise be subject to taxation pursuant to Code Section 409A, the Executive shall not be entitled to
any payments upon a termination of his employment until the earlier of (i) the date which is six (6) months after his termination of employment for any reason other than death, or (ii) the date of the Executive’s death; provided
the first such payment thereafter shall include all amounts that would have been paid earlier but for such six (6) month delay. At the request of the Executive, the Company shall set aside those payments that would otherwise be made in such
six-(6) month period in a trust that is in compliance with Rev. Proc. 92-64. 
 Furthermore, with regard to any benefit to be provided
upon a termination of employment, to the extent required by Code Section 409A, the Executive shall pay the premium for such benefit during the aforesaid period and be reimbursed by the Company therefor promptly after the end of such period.

 The provisions of this Section 21 shall only apply if, and to the extent, required to comply with
Code Section 409A. 
  

	22.	Indemnification, Liability Insurance. The Company agrees to indemnify the Executive and hold the Executive harmless to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law
and under the bylaws of the Company against and in respect to any and all actions, suits, proceedings, claims, demands, judgments, costs, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), losses, and damages resulting from the Executive’s
good-faith performance of the Executive’s duties and obligations to the Company. The Company shall cover the Executive under directors and officers liability insurance both during and, while potential liability exists (but in any case not for
more than six years), after the term of this Agreement in substantially the same amount and on substantially the same terms as the Company covers its other active officers and directors.

Date.

	Re:	Confidentiality Agreement (“Agreement”) 

 Dear
Greg: 
 In the course of your work for SeraCare Life Sciences, Inc. or any of its affiliates (collectively, “SeraCare Life Sciences,
Inc.”), you may have access to SeraCare Life Sciences, Inc. confidential and proprietary information and/or you may create Developments (defined below). As a condition to SeraCare Life Sciences, Inc. hiring and employing you (and for other
legally sufficient consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which you acknowledge), you and SeraCare Life Sciences, Inc. agree as follows: 
 I. Definitions. The following terms are defined for purposes of this Agreement: 
 A. “Confidential
Information” means any and all information that has or could have value or utility to SeraCare Life Sciences, Inc., whether or not reduced to written or other tangible form and all copies thereof, relating to SeraCare Life Sciences, Inc.
private or proprietary matters, confidential matters or trade secrets. Confidential Information includes, but is not limited to, the following: 
  

	 	•	 	technical information (whether or not subject to patent registration or protection), such as research and development, methods, trade secrets, data and know-how, formulas,
compositions, testing protocols or test results, whether written or oral and whether technical or non-technical, as well as product sample. Processes and techniques or manufacturing information, business plans or projections, customer lists,
agreements, discoveries, machines, inventions, ideas, computer programs (including software and data used in all such programs), drawings, specifications; 

  

	 	•	 	except to the extent publicly disclosed by SeraCare Life Sciences, Inc. without any fault by you or any other person or entity, information relating to SeraCare Life Sciences, Inc.
patents, patent applications, and patent disclosures, together with all reissuances, continuations, continuations-in-part, revisions, extensions, and reexaminations thereof, and all improvements and inventions related thereto;

  

	 	•	 	business information, such as information concerning any products, customers, suppliers, production, developments, costs, purchasing, pricing, profits, markets, sales, accounts,
customers, financing, acquisitions, strategic alliances or collaborations, expansions; and 

  

	 	•	 	other information relating to SeraCare Life Sciences, Inc. business practices, strategies or policies. 

 B. “Competitive Business” means engaging in the research, development, sale,
lease, marketing, financing or distribution of technology, products or services similar to or competitive with SeraCare Life Sciences, Inc. actual or proposed products or services anywhere in the world. 
 C. “Development” means any invention, discovery, improvement, know-how, method, technique, work, copyrightable work or other
intellectual property (whether or not patentable or subject to registration with any governmental office) you conceive, reduce to practice, discover or make, alone or with others, that either (i) is directly related to the business or
demonstrably anticipated business of SeraCare Life Sciences, Inc. (ii) includes, or is a product or extension of, any Confidential Information, or (iii) results from duties assigned to you by SeraCare Life Sciences, Inc. or from the use of
any of SeraCare Life Sciences, Inc. assets or facilities. 
 D. “Restricted Period” means a period (i) starting
when you begin working for SeraCare Life Sciences, Inc. and (ii) ending on the earlier of (A) twelve (12) months after termination of your employment (regardless of the reason for termination), or (B) if you work less than
a total of 12 months, that number of months after termination of your employment which equals the total number of months you worked for SeraCare Life Sciences, Inc. (for example, if you work for SeraCare Life Sciences, Inc. for a total of six
months, the Restricted Period will end six months after your employment terminates), or (C) the longest period (if any) permitted by applicable law after termination of your employment which is less than 12 months. 
 II. Confidential Information. 
 During your employment by SeraCare Life Sciences, Inc. and at all times thereafter, you will hold in trust, keep confidential and not disclose, directly or indirectly, to any third parties or make any use of Confidential Information for any
purpose except for the benefit of SeraCare Life Sciences, Inc. in the performance of your employment duties. Confidential Information will not be subject to these restrictions if it becomes generally known to the public or in the industry without
any fault by you or any other person or entity, or if SeraCare Life Sciences, Inc. ceases to have a legally protectable interest in it. If you are required by valid subpoena or similar legal requirement to disclose Confidential Information, you will
promptly notify SeraCare Life Sciences, Inc. in writing and cooperate with SeraCare Life Sciences, Inc. efforts to obtain a protective order or similar relief, and you will only disclose the minimum amount of Confidential Information necessary. Upon
termination of your employment (regardless of the reason for termination), you will immediately return to SeraCare Life Sciences, Inc. all tangible Confidential Information and any other material made or derived from Confidential Information,
including information stored in electronic format and handwritten notes, which is in your possession or which you delivered to others. 
 III. Developments. You agree to promptly and fully disclose in writing to SeraCare Life Sciences, Inc.’s President (or, if you are then the President, the General Counsel, or in the absence of a General Counsel, the Chief
Financial Officer, in either case with a copy to the Chairman of the Board of Directors of SeraCare Life Science, Inc.) any Development that you make during the Restricted Period when created or developed. You hereby assign and transfer to SeraCare
Life Sciences, Inc. all of your right, title and interest in and to any Developments that 

 
you make during your employment, including all patents, patent applications and related patent rights. You agree to sign and deliver to SeraCare Life
Sciences, Inc. (during and after employment) other documents SeraCare Life Sciences, Inc. considers necessary or desirable to evidence its ownership of Developments that you make during your employment. All copyrightable works that are Developments
that you make during your employment, whether or not works made for hire (as defined in 17 U.S.C. §141), shall be owned by SeraCare Life Sciences, Inc. and it may file and own the same as the author throughout the world. If SeraCare Life
Sciences, Inc. is unable for any reason to secure your signature on any document necessary or desirable to apply for, prosecute, obtain, or enforce any patent, trademark, service mark, copyright, or other right or protection relating to any
Development that you make during your employment, you hereby irrevocably designate and appoint SeraCare Life Sciences, Inc. and each of its duly authorized officers and agents, as your agent and attorney-in-fact to act for and in your behalf and
stead to execute and file any such document and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the prosecution, issuance, and enforcement of patents, trademarks, service marks, copyrights, or other rights or protections with the same force and
effect as if personally executed and delivered by you. You agree that this power of attorney is irrevocable and is coupled with an interest and thereby survives your death or disability. It shall be presumed that any Development that you register,
file, make an application for, or otherwise claim with any governmental agency during the Restricted Period was made by you during your employment. 
 IV. California Goggin Act. You acknowledge that you have read the California Goggin Act attached hereto and understand that under its provisions you may retain ownership of inventions that you may make entirely on your own time and
in a manner not described in Section II above. You agree, however, to disclose to SeraCare Life Sciences, Inc. all inventions that you conceive during your employment, including any invention which you desire to retain as your own property, so that
SeraCare Life Sciences, Inc. may determine if such invention qualifies under the law for retention as your property. SeraCare Life Sciences, Inc. will treat any such disclosed information as confidential unless such information (1) was
previously known to SeraCare Life Sciences, Inc., (2) is disclosed in patents or other publications, (3) has been imparted to SeraCare Life Sciences, Inc. by third parties, or (4) is well known to the trade to which it relates. You
understand that this Section applies even if you work outside of California. 
 V. Non-Solicitation. You acknowledge that you may have
access to a significant amount of highly sensitive and valuable Confidential Information, you may be involved in formulating SeraCare Life Sciences, Inc. business strategies or in its research and development activities, and you may be involved in
important aspects of relationships with employees, consultants, suppliers, customers and others and you will be expected to promote SeraCare Life Sciences, Inc. business and goodwill. You also acknowledge that SeraCare Life Sciences, Inc. business
is international in scope and that SeraCare Life Sciences, Inc. employees and customers in any location can be solicited and serviced from any other location in the world. You therefore agree that during the Restricted Period, you will not, directly
or indirectly through any other person or entity: 
  

	 	•	 	solicit any other person or entity who is a customer of SeraCare Life Sciences, Inc. and whose name, identity, or business habits are trade secrets to engage in any Competitive
Business or to curtail or cease any business or business relationship with SeraCare Life Sciences, Inc. or its employees or independent contractors; 

	 	•	 	solicit any other employee or independent contractor to terminate any employment or engagement with SeraCare Life Sciences, Inc. and engage in a Competitive Business; or

  

	 	•	 	disparage SeraCare Life Sciences, Inc., its employees, independent contractors or their services or products. 

 VI. No Conflicts. You represent and warrant to, and agree with SeraCare Life Sciences, Inc. that: 
 A. You have set forth in a separate list attached to this Agreement as Schedule A-1 an accurate and complete list of all confidential,
proprietary or trade secret information (including invention disclosures and patent applications), including a brief description thereof (without revealing any confidential or proprietary information of any other party), which you made or conceived
prior to your employment with SeraCare Life Sciences, Inc. and for which you claim ownership or which is in the physical possession of a former employer or other person or entity and which are therefore excluded from the scope of this Agreement. If
there are no such exclusions, you have so indicated by writing “none.” 
 B. Neither you nor any third party has any
ownership or other interest in any idea, invention or other item of intellectual property that will be used in performing your duties for SeraCare Life Sciences, Inc. and all Developments made during your employment will be free and clear of any
encumbrances or claims of third parties. In performing your duties for SeraCare Life Sciences, Inc. you will not disclose to SeraCare Life Sciences, Inc. or use any confidential or proprietary information or trade secret of any third party, and you
will not interfere with the business of any third party in any way contrary to applicable law. 
 VII. No Employment Rights. Nothing
in this Agreement shall affect your or SeraCare Life Sciences, Inc. right to terminate your employment or SeraCare Life Sciences, Inc. right modify the terms of your employment, nor will this Agreement confer on you any other rights or benefits in
connection with your employment. 
 VIII. Remedies and Conflict Resolution. 
 A. The parties to this Agreement agree that (i) if you materially breach this Agreement, the damage to SeraCare Life Sciences, Inc.
may be substantial, although difficult to ascertain, and money damages will not afford SeraCare Life Sciences, Inc. an adequate remedy, and (ii) if you are in breach of any provision of this Agreement, or threaten a breach of this Agreement,
SeraCare Life Sciences, Inc. shall be entitled, in addition to all other rights and remedies as may be provided by law, this Agreement, the Employment Agreement being entered into by and between you and SeraCare Life Sciences, Inc. in connection
with this Agreement (the “Employment Agreement”), or otherwise, to seek and obtain provisional relief from a court in accordance with Section VIII.B hereof, and an arbitral order requiring specific performance and permanent injunctive and
other equitable relief to prevent or restrain a breach of any 

 
provision of this Agreement. You further agree that the SeraCare Life Sciences, Inc. shall not be required to obtain, furnish, secure or post any bond or
similar instrument in connection with or as a condition to obtaining any remedy referred to in this Section VIII, and you irrevocably waive any right you may have to require SeraCare Life Sciences, Inc. to obtain, furnish, secure or post any such
bond or similar instrument. 
 B. All claims for damages for a breach of this Agreement shall be submitted to arbitration in
accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 16 of the Employment Agreement. To the extent injunctive or other equitable relief is not available pursuant to Section 16 of the Employment Agreement or is not available pursuant to
Section 16 of the Employment Agreement in a sufficiently timely manner (in the seeking party’s good faith judgment) to preclude the risk of irreparable damage and to prevent any remedy from being rendered ineffectual pending the
arbitration, either party may seek such relief, including provisional relief in the form of a temporary restraining order or preliminary injunction, exclusively in a state or federal court of competent jurisdiction in the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts. 
 To the extent permitted by law, the prevailing party (if a prevailing party is determined to exist by the arbitrator or
arbitrators) in any proceeding or action under this Section VIII shall be entitled, in addition to any other damages or relief awarded, to an award of reasonable legal and accounting fees, expenses and other out-of-pocket costs incurred by such
party (including any costs and fees incurred by and payable to the arbitrator (or arbitrators) and any costs incurred in enforcing any such award), not to exceed such fees incurred by the non-prevailing party regardless of whether such proceeding or
action proceeds to final judgment; provided, however, that SeraCare Life Science, Inc. shall not be deemed a “prevailing party” for this purpose unless the arbitrator (or arbitrators) determines that you did not have a reasonable good
faith belief that you would prevail as to at least one material issue presented to the arbitrator (or arbitrators). 
 IN ANY
ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING HEREFROM, THE PARTIES HERETO CONSENT TO TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM BROUGHT BY ANY PARTY HERETO OR ITS SUCCESSORS AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY HERETO OR ITS SUCCESSORS IN RESPECT OF ANY
MATTER ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF ACTION OR PROCEEDING. 
 YOU REPRESENT
AND AGREE THAT YOU HAVE READ AND UNDERSTAND THIS SECTION VIII.B, WHICH DISCUSSES ARBITRATION. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT BY SIGNING THIS AGREEMENT, YOU AGREE TO SUBMIT ANY CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF, RELATING TO, OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, OR THE
INTERPRETATION, VALIDITY, CONSTRUCTION, PERFORMANCE, BREACH OR TERMINATION THEREOF TO CONFIDENTIAL BINDING ARBITRATION, AND THAT THIS ARBITRATION CLAUSE CONSTITUTES A WAIVER OF YOUR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL. 
 IX. Miscellaneous. 
 A. This Agreement contains the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements, written or oral, with respect 

 
thereto (except for the Employment Agreement and that certain Non-Competition Agreement referred to in and contemplated by such Employment Agreement). This
Agreement may be amended or modified and the terms and conditions hereof may be waived, only by a written instrument signed by each of the parties or, in the case of waiver, by the party waiving compliance. No delay on the part of either party in
exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any waiver on the part of either party of any right, power or privilege hereunder, nor any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege
hereunder, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege hereunder. The rights and remedies provided herein are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that either party may
otherwise have at law or in equity. Any waiver of any breach of or failure to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement shall not operate as a waiver of any other breach or waiver of performance of such provisions or any other provisions. Your
obligations under this Agreement survive termination of your employment, regardless of the manner or reason for termination. During, and upon termination of your employment (regardless of the reason therefore), you will certify to SeraCare Life
Sciences, Inc. in writing that you have fully complied with each provision of this Agreement and that you will continue to comply with all provisions herein that survive termination. 
 B. You represent and warrant that this Agreement is a legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable against you in accordance with its
terms to the fullest extent permitted under applicable federal, state or local law. 
 C. All notices, requests and other

 THE GOGGIN ACT 
 Sections 2870, 2871 and 2872 of the California Labor Code 
 2870. (a) Any provision in an employment
agreement which provides that an employee shall assign, or offer to assign, any of his or her rights in any invention to his or her employer shall not apply to an invention that the employee developed entirely on his or her own time without using
the employer’s equipment, supplies, facilities, or trade secret information except for those inventions that either: (1) Relate at the time of conception or reduction to practice of the invention to the employer’s business, or actual
or demonstrably anticipated research or development of the employer; or (2) Result from any work performed by the employee for the employer; (b) To the extent a provision in an employment agreement purports to require an employee to assign
an invention otherwise excluded from being required to be assigned under subdivision (a), the provision is against the public policy of this state and is unenforceable. 
 2871. No employer shall require a provision made void and unenforceable by Section 2870 as a condition of employment or continued employment. Nothing in this article shall be construed to forbid or restrict the
right of an employer to provide in contracts of employment for disclosure, provided that any such disclosures be received in confidence, of all of the employee’s inventions made solely or jointly with others during the term of his or her
employment, a review process by the employer to determine such issues as may arise, and for full title to certain patents and inventions to be in the United States, as required by contracts between the employer and the United States or any of its
agencies. 
 2872. If an employment agreement entered into after January 1, 1980, contains a provision requiring the employee to assign
or offer to assign any of his or her rights in any invention to his or her employer, the employer must also, at the time the agreement is made, provide a written notification to the employee that the agreement does not apply to an invention which
qualifies fully under the provisions of Section 2870. In any suit or action arising thereunder, the burden of proof shall be on the employee claiming the benefits of its provisions.” 

 EXHIBIT B 
 NON-COMPETITION AGREEMENT 
 This Non-Competition Agreement (this “Agreement”) is
entered into, as of August 16, 2006, by and among SeraCare Life Sciences, Inc., a California corporation (the “Company”), and Gregory A. Gould (“Executive”). 
 RECITALS 
 A. The Company is engaged in the
business of manufacturing, marketing distributing, and selling to diagnostic, therapeutic, drug discovery, and research organizations biological products and services, including but not limited to plasma-based therapeutic products, diagnostic
products and reagents, cell culture products, specialty plasmas, in vitro stabilizers, and the SeraCare BioBankTM, which is a proprietary database of medical information and associated blood, plasma, DNA and RNA samples (such business, being
collectively referred to herein as the “Business”). 
 B. The parties acknowledge that the relevant market for the Business
is worldwide in scope and that there exists worldwide competition for the products and services of the Business. 
 C. The Company desires to
employ Executive, and Executive desires to accept such employment, as Chief Financial Officer based on the terms and conditions of the Employment Agreement being executed concurrently with this Agreement (the “Employment Agreement”).

 D. Executive acknowledges that by virtue of his position with the Company, he will have special influence over and access to the
Company’s customers, employees, and consultants, will develop and have access to significant and unique contacts in the Business, and will develop and have access to the Company’s Confidential Information and Inventions (as such terms are
defined in the Confidentiality Agreement entered in connection with Section 6 of the Employment Agreement). 
 E. As a material
condition to the Company entering into the Employment Agreement, and to protect the Company’s good will, customer relationships, Confidential Information, and stable workforce, Executive has agreed to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants and agreements hereinafter set
forth, the Company and Executive, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows: 
 I. 
 NON-COMPETITION 
 1.1 Non-Competition.
Executive agrees that during the term of his employment with the Company and for a period of one (1) year thereafter (such period, the “Non-Competition Period”): 
 (a) Executive shall not, anywhere outside of the United States, directly or indirectly, engage, without the express prior written consent
of the Company, in any business or activity in direct or indirect competition with the Business, whether as an employee, consultant, partner, principal, agent, representative, equity holder or in any other individual, corporate or representative
capacity (without limitation by specific enumeration of the foregoing), or render any services or provide any advice to any business, activity or person in direct or indirect competition (or seeking or contemplating to compete, directly or
indirectly) with the Business (a “Competing Business”). 
 (b) Executive shall not, anywhere in the United
States, directly or indirectly, engage, without the express prior written consent of the Company, in any business or activity in direct or indirect competition with the Business, whether as an employee, consultant, partner, principal, agent,
representative, equity holder or in any other individual, corporate or representative capacity (without limitation by specific enumeration of the foregoing), or render any services or provide any advice to any Competing Business. 
 (c) Executive shall not, anywhere in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts or the state of Maryland, directly or indirectly, engage, without
the express prior written consent of the Company, in any business or activity in direct or indirect competition with the Business, whether as an employee, consultant, partner, principal, agent, representative, equity holder or in any other
individual, corporate or representative capacity (without limitation by specific enumeration of the foregoing), or render any services or provide any advice to any Competing Business. 
 1.2 Public Securities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive may own, directly or indirectly, up to one percent (1%) of any class of
“publicly traded securities” of any Person, which owns or operates a business that is a Competing Business. For the purposes of this Section 1.2, “publicly traded securities” shall mean securities that are traded on a
national securities exchange or listed on the Nasdaq Global Market. 
 1.3 No Interference with the Business; Non-Solicitation.
Executive agrees that during the Non-Competition Period, at any time or for any reason, Executive shall not, directly or indirectly: (a) solicit or divert, or attempt to solicit or divert, any business or clients or customers of the Company
and/or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates (“Affiliates”); (b) induce or attempt to induce customers, clients, suppliers, agents or other persons or business entities under contract or otherwise associated or doing business with the
Company and/or its Affiliates, to reduce or alter any such association or business with the Company and/or its Affiliates; (c) solicit or attempt to solicit any employee or consultant of the Company to (i) terminate such employment or
consulting engagement with the Company and/or its Affiliates, and/or (ii) accept employment, or 

 
enter into any consulting arrangement, with any person or business entity other than the Company and/or its Affiliates; or (d) condemn, criticize,
ridicule or otherwise disparage or put in disrepute the Company or its Affiliates (including but not limited to their products, services, directors, officers, agents or employees), in any way, whether orally or in writing; provided, however, that
Executive may provide truthful testimony in any legal, administrative, governmental or regulatory proceeding and may likewise respond truthfully to a lawfully-issued subpoena, court order, government or regulatory inquiry. 
 II. 
 REMEDIES AND CONFLICT RESOLUTION

 2.1 Remedies. The parties to this Agreement agree that (i) if Executive materially breaches Article 1 of this
Agreement, the damage to the Company may be substantial, although difficult to ascertain, and money damages will not afford the Company an adequate remedy, and (ii) if Executive is in breach of any provision of this Agreement, or threatens a
breach of this Agreement, the Company shall be entitled, in addition to all other rights and remedies as may be provided by law, this Agreement, the Employment Agreement, or otherwise, to seek and obtain provisional relief from a court in accordance
with Section 2.2 hereof, and an arbitral order requiring specific performance and permanent injunctive and other equitable relief to prevent or restrain a breach of any provision of this Agreement, including but not limited to an order
extending the Non-Competition Period by the same period of time that Executive is breach of terms of Article 1 of this Agreement. Executive further agrees that the Company shall not be required to obtain, furnish, secure or post any bond or
similar instrument in connection with or as a condition to obtaining any remedy referred to in this Article 2, and Executive irrevocably waives any right that Executive may have to require the Company to obtain, furnish, secure or post any
such bond or similar instrument. 
 2.2 All claims for damages for a breach of this Agreement shall be submitted to arbitration in accordance
with the terms and conditions of Section 16 of the Employment Agreement. To the extent injunctive or other equitable relief is not available pursuant to Section 16 of the Employment Agreement or is not available pursuant to Section 16
of the Employment Agreement in a sufficiently timely manner (in the seeking party’s good faith judgment) to preclude the risk of irreparable damage and to prevent any remedy from being rendered ineffectual pending the arbitration, either party
may seek such relief, including provisional relief in the form of a temporary restraining order or preliminary injunction, exclusively in a state or federal court of competent jurisdiction in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. 
 (a) To the extent permitted by law, the prevailing party (if a prevailing party is determined to exist by the arbitrator) in any
proceeding or action under this Section 2.2 shall be entitled, in addition to any other damages or relief awarded, to an award of reasonable legal and accounting fees, expenses and other out-of-pocket costs incurred by such party
(including any costs and fees incurred by and payable to the arbitrator and any costs incurred in enforcing any such award), not to exceed such fees incurred by the non-prevailing party regardless of whether such proceeding or action proceeds to
final judgment; provided, however, that the Company shall not be deemed a “prevailing party” for this purpose unless the arbitrator 

 
determines that the Executive did not have a reasonable good faith belief that the Executive would prevail as to at least one material issue presented to the
arbitrator. 
 (b) Waiver of Trial by Jury. IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING HEREFROM, THE PARTIES HERETO CONSENT TO
TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM BROUGHT BY ANY PARTY HERETO OR ITS SUCCESSORS AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY HERETO OR ITS SUCCESSORS IN RESPECT OF ANY MATTER ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, REGARDLESS OF
THE FORM OF ACTION OR PROCEEDING. 
 2.3 Acknowledgment. EXECUTIVE HAS READ AND UNDERSTANDS SECTION 2.2 OF THIS AGREEMENT,
WHICH DISCUSSES ARBITRATION. EXECUTIVE UNDERSTANDS THAT BY SIGNING THIS NON-COMPETITION AGREEMENT, EXECUTIVE AGREES TO SUBMIT ANY CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF, RELATING TO, OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS NON-COMPETITION AGREEMENT, OR THE INTERPRETATION,
VALIDITY, CONSTRUCTION, PERFORMANCE, BREACH OR TERMINATION THEREOF TO CONFIDENTIAL BINDING ARBITRATION, AND THAT THIS ARBITRATION CLAUSE CONSTITUTES A WAIVER OF EXECUTIVE’S RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL. 
 III. 
 MISCELLANEOUS 
 3.1 Entire Agreement; Amendments and Waivers; Several Agreements. This Agreement contains the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the
subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements, written or oral, with respect thereto (except for the Employment Agreement entered into by and between the parties in connection with this Agreement and that certain Confidentiality
Agreement referred to in and contemplated by such Employment Agreement). This Agreement may be amended or modified and the terms and conditions hereof may be waived, only by a written instrument signed by each of the parties or, in the case of
waiver, by the party waiving compliance. No delay on the part of either party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any waiver on the part of either party of any right, power or privilege
hereunder, nor any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege hereunder. The rights and remedies provided herein are
cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that either party may otherwise have at law or in equity. 
 3.2
Representations and Warranties. Executive represents and warrants that this Agreement is a legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable against Executive in accordance with its terms to the fullest extent permitted under applicable
federal, state or local law. 
 3.3 Notices. All notices, requests and other communications hereunder must be in writing and will be
deemed to have been duly given only if delivered in accordance with the terms of Section 18 of the Employment Agreement. 

 3.4 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the
internal laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws
of any jurisdiction other than the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. 
 3.5 Severability. To the extent any provision of this Agreement,
including without limitation the provisions set forth in Article 1 or Article 2 hereof, shall be determined to be unlawful or otherwise unenforceable, in whole or in part, such determination shall not affect the validity of the
remainder of this Agreement, and this Agreement shall be reformed to the extent necessary to carry out its provisions to the greatest extent possible. In the absence of such reformation, such part of such provision shall be considered deleted from
this Agreement and the remainder of such provision and of this Agreement shall be unaffected and shall continue in full force and effect. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, should the duration or geographical extent of, or
business activities covered by any provision of this Agreement be in excess of, that which is valid and enforceable under applicable law, then such provision shall be construed to cover only that duration, extent or activities which may validly and
enforceability be covered. To the extent any provision of this Agreement shall be declared invalid or unenforceable for any reason by any court, arbitrator or governmental or regulatory authority in any jurisdiction, this Agreement (or provision
thereof) shall remain valid and enforceable in each other jurisdiction where it applies. 
 3.6 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement
shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto, the heirs and legal representatives of Executive and the successors and assigns of the Company. Executive shall not be entitled to assign his obligations hereunder. The Company
may assign its rights under this Agreement to any person or business entity (including, without limitation, successors and assigns of the Company). Executive agrees that, upon request therefor, he will, in writing, acknowledge and consent to any
such assignment of this Agreement. 
 3.7 Defined Terms. Capitalized terms used herein and not defined shall have the respective
meanings ascribed to them in the Employment Agreement unless otherwise expressly indicated. 
 3.8 Independent Review and Advice.
Executive represents and warrants that Executive has carefully read this Agreement; that Executive executes this Agreement with full knowledge of the contents of this Agreement, the legal consequences thereof, and any and all rights which each party
may have with respect to one another; that Executive has had the opportunity to receive independent legal advice with respect to the matters set forth in this Agreement and with respect to the rights and asserted rights arising out of such matters;
that Executive has been advised to, and has had the opportunity to, consult with Executive’s personal attorney prior to entering into this Agreement; and that Executive is entering into this Agreement of Executive’s own free will.
Executive expressly agrees that he has no expectations or understandings contrary to the Agreement and no usage of trade or regular practice in the industry shall be used to modify this Agreement. The parties agree that this Agreement shall not be
construed for or against either party in any interpretation thereof. 

 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Agreement effective as of the date first written
above.

	1	Subject to adjustment under Section 4.1 of the Terms. 

	2	Subject to early termination under Section 4.2 or 4.3 of the Terms. 

 TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF OPTION 
 1. Vesting; Limits on Exercise. 
 As set forth on the cover page of the Option Agreement, the
Option shall vest and become exercisable in percentage installments of the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock subject to the Option. The Option may be exercised only to the extent the Option is vested and exercisable. 
  

	 	•	 	Cumulative Exercisability. To the extent that the Option is vested and exercisable, the Participant has the right to exercise the Option (to the extent not previously
exercised), and such right shall continue, until the expiration or earlier termination of the Option. 

  

	 	•	 	No Fractional Shares. Fractional share interests shall be disregarded, but may be cumulated. 

  

	 	•	 	Minimum Exercise. No fewer than 1001
shares of Common Stock may be purchased at any one time, unless the number purchased is the total number at the time exercisable under the Option. 

 2. Continuance of Employment Required; No Employment Commitment. 
 Except as otherwise provided herein, the vesting
schedule requires continued service through each applicable vesting date as a condition to the vesting of the applicable installment of the Option and the rights and benefits under this Option Agreement. Partial service, even if substantial, during
any vesting period will not entitle the Participant to any proportionate vesting or avoid or mitigate a termination of rights and benefits upon or following a termination of employment or services as provided in Section 4.3 below. 

Nothing contained in this Option Agreement constitutes an employment commitment by the Corporation, confers upon the Participant any right to remain
employed by the Corporation or any Subsidiary (as defined below), interferes in any way with the right of the Corporation or any Subsidiary at any time to terminate such employment, or affects the right of the Corporation or any Subsidiary to
increase or decrease the Participant’s other compensation. 
 For purposes of this Option Agreement, “Subsidiary” means
any corporation or other entity a majority of whose outstanding voting stock or voting power is beneficially owned directly or indirectly by the Corporation. 
 3. Exercise of Option. 
 3.1. Method of Exercise. The Option shall be exercisable by the delivery to the
Secretary of the Corporation of a written notice stating the number of shares of Common Stock to be purchased pursuant to the Option and accompanied by: 
  

	 	•	 	delivery of an executed Exercise Agreement in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A or such other form as from time to time may be required by the Corporation (the
“Exercise Agreement”); 

	 	•	 	payment in full for the Exercise Price of the shares to be purchased in one of the forms set forth under Section 3.2; 

  

	 	•	 	satisfaction of the tax withholding provisions of Section 3.3 below; and 

  

	 	•	 	any written statements or agreements required pursuant to Section 3.4 below. 

 3.2. Payment of Exercise Price. The Exercise Price of the shares to be purchased will be paid in full at the time of each purchase in one or a combination of the following methods: 
  

	 	•	 	in cash or by electronic funds transfer; 

  

	 	•	 	by check payable to the order of the Corporation; 

  

	 	•	 	if authorized by the Corporation, by a cashless exercise pursuant to such rules as the Corporation may adopt; 

  

	 	•	 	by notice and third party payment in such manner as may be authorized by the Corporation; 

  

	 	•	 	subject to the proviso below and the approval of the Corporation’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) at the time, by the delivery of shares of Common Stock
already owned by the Participant, provided that any shares of Common Stock delivered that were initially acquired from the Corporation upon exercise of a stock option must have been owned by the Participant at least six (6) months as of the
date of delivery. 

 Shares of Common Stock used to satisfy the Exercise Price will be valued at their Fair Market Value on the date of
exercise. “Fair Market Value” on any date means: 
  

	 	(a)	if the stock is listed or admitted to trade on a national securities exchange, the closing price of the stock on the Composite Tape, as published in the Western Edition of The Wall
Street Journal, of the principal national securities exchange on which the stock is so listed or admitted to trade, on such date, or, if there is no trading of the stock on such date (or if the market has not closed at the applicable time), then the
closing price of the stock as quoted on such Composite Tape on the next preceding date on which there was trading in such shares; 

  

	 	(b)	if the stock is not listed or admitted to trade on a national securities exchange, the last price for the stock, as furnished by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.
(“NASD”) through the NASDAQ Global Market Reporting System or a similar organization if the NASD is no longer reporting such information, on such date, or, if there is no trading of the stock on such date (or if the market has not
closed at the applicable time), then the last price of the stock as so furnished on the next preceding date on which there was trading in such shares; or 

  

	 	(c)	 if the stock is not listed or admitted to trade on a national securities exchange and is not reported by the NASD through the NASDAQ Global Market Reporting System
or a similar organization if the NASD is no 

	 	 
longer reporting such information, the value as established by the Corporation at such time for purposes of this Option Agreement (if the price of the stock
is furnished by the NASD through the NASDAQ SmallCap Market, the Corporation’s determination of Fair Market Value may be based on, without limitation, the last price and/or the mean between the bid and asked prices for the stock as of the
relevant date or as of the last date that there was trading in the stock, as applicable). 

 3.3. Tax Withholding.
Upon any exercise, vesting, or payment of the Option, the Corporation shall have the right at its option to: 
  

	 	•	 	require the Participant (or his personal representative or his beneficiary, in the case of the Participant’s disability or death, as the case may be) to pay or provide for
payment of at least the minimum amount of any taxes which the Corporation may be required to withhold with respect to the Option event or payment; 

  

	 	•	 	deduct from any amount payable in cash the minimum amount of any taxes which the Corporation may be required to withhold with respect to such cash payment; or

  

	 	•	 	reduce the number of shares of Common Stock to be delivered by (or otherwise reacquire) the appropriate number of shares of Common Stock, valued at their then Fair Market Value, to
satisfy such withholding obligation. 

 In no event will the value of any shares withheld exceed the minimum amount of required withholding
under applicable law. 
 3.4. Legal Compliance. The grant of the Option and the offer, issuance and delivery of shares of Common Stock
in respect of the Option are subject to compliance with all applicable federal and state laws, rules and regulations (including but not limited to state and federal securities law, federal margin requirements) and to such approvals by any listing,
regulatory or governmental authority as may, in the opinion of counsel for the Corporation, be necessary or advisable in connection therewith. In addition, any securities delivered in respect of the Option may be subject to any special restrictions
to preserve a pooling of interests under generally accepted accounting principles. The person acquiring any securities in respect of the Option will, if requested by the Corporation, provide such assurances and representations to the Corporation as
the Corporation may deem necessary or desirable to assure compliance with all applicable legal and accounting requirements. 
 4. Adjustments; Early
Termination. 
 4.1. Adjustments. Upon or in contemplation of any reclassification, recapitalization, stock split (including a
stock split in the form of a stock dividend) or reverse stock split; any merger, combination, consolidation, or other reorganization; any spin-off, split-up, or similar extraordinary dividend distribution (“spin-off”) in respect of the
Common Stock (whether in the form of securities or property); any exchange of Common Stock or other securities of the Corporation, or any similar, unusual or extraordinary corporate transaction in respect of the Common Stock; or a sale of all or
substantially all the assets of the Corporation as an entirety (“asset sale”); then the 

 
Corporation shall, in such manner, to such extent (if any) and at such time as it deems appropriate and equitable in the circumstances: 
  

	 	(a)	in any of such events, proportionately adjust any or all of (i) the number of shares of Common Stock or the number and type of other securities that thereafter may be made the
subject of the Option, and (ii) the Exercise Price of the Option, or 

  

	 	(b)	in the case of a reclassification, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, combination, or other reorganization, spin-off or asset sale, make provision for a cash payment or for
the substitution or exchange of the Option or the cash, securities or property deliverable to the Participant based upon the distribution or consideration payable to holders of the Common Stock upon or in respect of such event.

 The Corporation may adopt such valuation methodologies with respect to the Option as it deems reasonable in the event of a
cash or property settlement, including without limitation basing such settlement solely upon the excess if any of the per share amount payable upon or in respect of such event over the Exercise Price. 
 In any of such events, the Corporation may take such action prior to such event to the extent that the Corporation deems the action necessary to permit
the Participant to realize the benefits intended to be conveyed with respect to the underlying shares in the same manner as is or will be available to stockholders generally. 
 4.2. Possible Early Termination of Option Upon (or, as may be necessary to effectuate the purposes of the acceleration, immediately prior to) the
occurrence of a Change in Control Event, the then-outstanding and otherwise unvested portion of the Option shall become fully vested. To the extent the Option is vested and not exercised in connection with or prior to (a) a dissolution of the
Corporation, (b) an event described in Section 4.1 that the Corporation does not survive, or (c) the consummation of a Change in Control Event, the Option shall terminate, subject to any provision that has been made by the Corporation
through a plan of reorganization or otherwise for the substitution, assumption, exchange or other settlement of the Option. For purposes of this Option Agreement, “Change in Control Event” means the consummation of a merger,
consolidation, or other reorganization, with or into, or the sale of all or substantially all of the Corporation’s business and/or assets as an entirety to, one or more entities that are not Subsidiaries (a “Business
Combination”), unless as a result of the Business Combination at least 50% of the outstanding securities voting generally in the election of directors of the surviving or resulting entity or a parent thereof (the “Successor
Entity”) immediately after the reorganization are, or will be, owned, directly or indirectly, in substantially the same proportions, by shareholders of the Corporation immediately before the Business Combination. 
 4.3. Effects of Termination of Employment or Service. Reference is made to that certain Employment Agreement, dated
                         , 2006, by and between the Corporation and the Participant (the “Employment
Agreement”). If the Participant is terminated by the Corporation for any reason other than “Cause” (as such term is defined in the Employment Agreement) or if the Participant terminates his employment for “Good Reason”
(as such term is defined in the Employment Agreement) (the date of the Participant’s termination is referred to herein as the “Severance Date”), the portion, if 

 
any, of the Option that is outstanding and not otherwise vested as of such Severance Date shall become fully vested immediately prior to the Severance Date
and the Participant shall have twelve (12) months after the Severance Date to exercise the Option to the extent it shall be or shall have become exercisable on the Severance Date (subject to the maximum 10-year term of the Option and subject to
Section 4.2); provided, however, that the Option shall terminate immediately if the Participant materially breaches the Confidentiality Agreement or the Non-Competition Agreement entered into in connection with Section 6 of the Employment
Agreement. In the case of a termination for Cause, the Option shall terminate on the Severance Date. In all other cases, the Option, to the extent not exercisable on the Severance Date, shall terminate. 
 Notwithstanding any other provision herein, the Option shall not continue to vest during any leave of absence of the Participant, unless the Corporation
otherwise expressly provides in connection with the leave or unless continued vesting is required as a matter of law in respect of the nature of the leave. 
 5. Non-Transferability and Other Restrictions. 
 The Option and any other rights of the Participant under this Option
Agreement are nontransferable and exercisable only by the Participant, except as set forth below. 
 The exercise and transfer restrictions
set forth above will not apply to: 
  

	 	•	 	transfers to the Corporation, 

  

	 	•	 	the designation of a beneficiary to receive benefits in the event of the Participant’s death or, if the Participant has died, transfers to or exercise by the Participant’s
beneficiary, or, in the absence of a validly designated beneficiary, transfers by will or the laws of descent and distribution, 

  

	 	•	 	transfers pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order if approved or ratified by the Corporation, 

  

	 	•	 	if the Participant has suffered a disability, permitted transfers or exercises on behalf of the Participant by his legal representative, 

  

	 	•	 	the authorization by the Corporation of “cashless exercise” procedures consistent with applicable laws and the express authorization of the Corporation, or

  

	 	•	 	upon approval by the Corporation, transfers to certain persons or entities related to the Participant, subject to the condition that the Corporation receive evidence satisfactory to
it that the transfer is being made for essentially estate and/or tax planning purposes on a gratuitous or donative basis and without consideration (other than nominal consideration or in exchange for an interest in a qualified transferee).

 Absent an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), (and/or
compliance with any applicable state securities law registration requirements) covering the disposition of this Option or the Common Stock issued or issuable upon exercise of this Option, neither this Option nor the Common Stock issued or issuable
upon exercise of this Option may be sold, transferred, assigned, 

 
hypothecated or otherwise disposed of without first providing the Corporation with evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation that such sale,
transfer, assignment, hypothecation or other disposal will be exempt from the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of applicable federal and state securities laws and regulations. 
 6. Privileges of Stock Ownership. 
 Except as
otherwise expressly authorized by the Corporation, the Participant shall not be entitled to any privilege of stock ownership as to any shares of Common Stock not actually delivered to and held of record by the Participant. No adjustment will be made
for dividends or other rights as a shareholder for which a record date is prior to such date of delivery. 
 7. No Corporate Action Restriction.

 The existence of the Option and this Option Agreement shall not limit, affect or restrict in any way the right or power of the Board or
the shareholders of the Corporation to make or authorize: (a) any adjustment, recapitalization, reorganization or other change in the Corporation’s or any Subsidiary’s capital structure or its business, (b) any merger,
amalgamation, consolidation or change in the ownership of the Corporation or any subsidiary, (c) any issue of bonds, debentures, capital, preferred or prior preference stock ahead of or affecting the Corporation’s or any Subsidiary’s
capital stock or the rights thereof, (d) any dissolution or liquidation of the Corporation or any Subsidiary, (e) any sale or transfer of all or any part of the Corporation or any Subsidiary’s assets or business, or (f) any other
corporate act or proceeding by the Corporation or any Subsidiary. Neither the Participant nor any other person shall have any claim under the Option or this Option Agreement against any member of the Board, or the Corporation or any employees,
officers or agents of the Corporation or any Subsidiary, as a result of any such action. 
 8. Notices. 
 Any notice to be given under the terms of this Option Agreement or the Exercise Agreement shall be in writing and addressed to the Corporation at its
principal office to the attention of the Secretary, and to the Participant at the address given beneath the Participant’s signature hereto, or at such other address as either party may hereafter designate in writing to the other. Any such
notice shall be given only when received, but if the Participant is no longer employed by the Corporation or any Subsidiary, shall be deemed to have been duly given when enclosed in a properly sealed envelope addressed as aforesaid, registered or
certified, and deposited (postage and registry or certification fee prepaid) in a post office or branch post office regularly maintained by the United States Government. 
 9. Entire Agreement. 
 This Option Agreement (together with the form of Exercise Agreement
attached hereto and the Employment Agreement) constitutes the entire agreement and supersedes all prior understandings and agreements, written or oral, of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Option Agreement and the
Exercise Agreement may be amended only by a written instrument signed by both the Participant and the Corporation. The Corporation may, however, unilaterally waive any provision hereof or of the Exercise Agreement in writing to the extent such
waiver does not adversely affect the 

 
interests of the Participant hereunder, but no such waiver shall operate as or be construed to be a subsequent waiver of the same provision or a waiver of
any other provision hereof. 
 10. Governing Law; Limited Rights. 
 10.1. California Law. This Option Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of California without regard to conflict of law principles thereunder.

 10.2. Limited Rights. The Participant has no rights as a shareholder of the Corporation with respect to the Option as set forth in
Section 6. The Option does not place any limit on the corporate authority of the Corporation as set forth in Section 7. 
 11.
Representations by the Participant. 
 The Participant by executing this Option Agreement hereby makes the following
representations to the Corporation and acknowledges that the Corporation’s reliance on securities law exemptions from qualification in the State of California is predicated, in substantial part, upon the accuracy of these representations:

  

	 	•	 	The Participant is acquiring the Option and if and when he exercises the Option will acquire the shares of Common Stock solely for the Participant’s own account, for investment
purposes only, and not with a view to or an intent to sell, or to offer for resale in connection with any unregistered distribution, all or any portion of the shares within the meaning of the Securities Act, the California Corporate Securities Law,
or other applicable state securities laws. 

  

	 	•	 	The Participant is knowledgeable about the Corporation and has a preexisting personal or business relationship with the Corporation. As a result of such relationship, he is familiar
with, among other characteristics, its business and financial circumstances and has access on a regular basis to or may request the Corporation’s condensed consolidated balance sheet and condensed consolidated income statement setting forth
information material to the Corporation’s financial condition, operations and prospects. 

  

	 	•	 	The Participant understands that neither this Option nor the Common Stock to be purchased upon exercise of this Option has been registered pursuant to the Securities Act or any
state securities laws, and the offer and sale of the Common Stock to be purchased upon exercise of this Option is intended to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act and under applicable state securities laws, which exemption depends
upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent and the accuracy of the Participant’s representations as expressed herein. 

  

	 	•	 	The Participant is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501 promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act.

  

	 	•	 	 At no time was an oral representation made to the Participant relating to the Option or the purchase of shares of Common Stock and the Participant was 

	 	 
not presented with or solicited by any promotional meeting or material relating to the Option or the Common Stock.

 EXHIBIT D 
 SECTION 280G PROVISIONS 
 1.1 Potential Cut-Back. 
 (a) In the event it is determined (pursuant to Section 1.3) or finally determined (as defined in Section 1.4(d)) that any payment, distribution,
transfer, or benefit by the Company, or a direct or indirect subsidiary or affiliate of the Company, to or for the benefit of the Executive or the Executive’s dependents, heirs or beneficiaries (whether such payment, distribution, transfer,
benefit or other event occurs pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise in connection with, or arising out of, the Executive’s employment with the Company or a change in ownership or effective control of the Company or a substantial
portion of its assets, but determined without regard to any additional payments required under this Exhibit D) (each a “Payment” and collectively the “Payments”) is subject to the excise tax imposed by
Section 4999 of the Code, and any successor provision or any comparable provision of state or local income tax law (collectively, “Section 4999”), or any interest, penalty or addition to tax is incurred by the Executive with
respect to such excise tax (such excise tax, together with any such interest, penalty, and addition to tax, hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Excise Tax”), then the Payments shall be reduced (but not below zero) so that
the maximum amount of the Payments (after reduction) shall be one dollar ($1.00) less than the amount which would cause the Payments to be subject to the Excise Tax (the “Parachute Payment Threshold”); provided, however, that
in the event that the aggregate amount of the Payments exceeds an amount equal to one hundred and ten percent (110%) of the Parachute Payment Threshold, the Payments shall not be so reduced, and the Executive shall be entitled to a Gross-Up
Payment in accordance with Section 1.2 below. If the amount of the Payments is less than or equal to one hundred and ten percent (110%) of the Parachute Payment Threshold, the Payments shall be so reduced, and unless the Executive shall
have given prior written notice to the Company to effectuate a reduction in the Payments if such a reduction is required, the Company shall reduce the Payments by first reducing or eliminating any cash severance benefits, then by reducing or
eliminating any accelerated vesting of stock options, then by reducing or eliminating any accelerated vesting of restricted stock, then by reducing or eliminating any other remaining Payments. 
 (b) As a result of the uncertainty in the application of Section 4999 of the Code at the time of the initial determination by the Accounting Firm (as
such term is defined in Section 1.3), it is possible that Payments to the Executive which will not have been made by the Company pursuant to Section 1.1(a) should have been made. In such case, the Accounting Firm shall determine the amount
of such unpaid Payments and such amount shall be promptly paid by the Company to or for the benefit of the Executive. It is also possible that a reduction in the Payments made pursuant to Section 1.1(a) will be less than the amount of the
reduction which should have been made. In such case, the Executive shall promptly repay the amount of such excess to the Company together with interest on such amount (at the applicable federal rate provided for in Section 1274(d) of the Code)
from the date the reimbursable payment was received by the Executive to the 

 
date the same is repaid to the Company; provided, however, that if the sum of the amount by which the Payments were initially reduced and the amount
of such excess exceeds an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the Parachute Payment Threshold, the Executive shall be entitled to the full amount of the Payments (without any reduction pursuant to this Section 1.1) and a Gross-Up Payment
in accordance with Section 1.2. 
 1.2 Potential Gross-Up. 
 (a) In the event that the Payments would be subject to the Excise Tax and that Section 1.1 does not apply because the amount of the Payments exceeds 110% of the Parachute Payment Threshold as provided therein,
then the Executive shall be entitled to receive an additional payment (a “Gross-Up Payment”) equal to an amount such that after payment by the Executive of all taxes, interest, penalties, additions to tax and costs imposed or
incurred with respect to the Gross-Up Payment (including, without limitation, any income and excise taxes imposed upon the Gross-Up Payment), the Executive retains an amount of the Gross-Up Payment equal to the Excise Tax imposed upon such Payments.
This provision is intended to put the Executive in the same position as the Executive would have been had no Excise Tax been imposed upon or incurred as a result of any Payments. 
 (b) As a result of the uncertainty in the application of Section 4999 of the Code at the time of the initial determination by the Accounting Firm, it
is possible that no Gross-Up Payment will initially be made but that a Gross-Up Payment should have been made, or a Gross-Up Payment will initially be made in an amount that is less than what should have been made (any of such events is referred to
as an “Underpayment”). It is also possible that a Gross-Up Payment will initially be made in an amount that is greater than what should have been made (an “Overpayment”). The determination of any Underpayment or
Overpayment shall be made by the Accounting Firm in accordance with Section 1.3. In the event of an Underpayment, the amount of any such Underpayment shall be paid to the Executive as an additional Gross-Up Payment. In the event of an
Overpayment, the Executive shall promptly pay to the Company the amount of such Overpayment together with interest on such amount (at the applicable federal rate provided for in Section 1274(d) of the Code) for the period commencing on the date
of the Overpayment to the date of such payment by the Executive to the Company. The Executive shall make such payment to the Company as soon as administratively practicable after the Company notifies the Executive of (a) the Accounting
Firm’s determination that an Overpayment was made and (b) the amount to be repaid. 
 1.3 Determination. 
 (a) Except as provided in Section 1.4, the determination that a Payment is subject to an Excise Tax shall be made in writing by the Accounting Firm.
For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Accounting Firm” means a nationally-recognized accounting firm selected by the Company and agreed to by the Executive, which agreement shall not be unreasonably withheld by the Executive.
Such determination by the Accounting Firm shall include the amount of the Payment subject to an Excise Tax and, if applicable, any Gross-Up Payment and detailed computations thereof, including any assumptions used in 

 
such computations. Any determination by the Accounting Firm will be binding on the Company and the Executive. 
 (b) For purposes of determining the amount of any Gross-Up Payment to be made hereunder, the Executive shall be deemed to pay federal income taxes at the
highest marginal rate of federal individual income taxation in the calendar year in which the Gross-Up Payment is to be made. Such highest marginal rate shall take into account the loss of itemized deductions by the Executive and shall also include
the Executive’s share of the hospital insurance portion of FICA and state and local income taxes at the highest marginal rate of individual income taxation in the state and locality of the Executive’s residence on the date that the Payment
is made, net of the maximum reduction in federal income taxes that could be obtained from the deduction of such state and local taxes. 
 1.4 Notification

 (a) The Executive shall notify the Company in writing of any claim by the Internal Revenue Service (or any successor thereof) or any
state or local taxing authority (individually or collectively, the “Taxing Authority”) that, if successful, would require the payment by the Company of a Gross-Up Payment. Such notification shall be given as soon as practicable but
no later than 30 days after the Executive receives written notice of such claim and shall apprise the Company of the nature of such claim and the date on which such claim is requested to be paid; provided, however, that failure by the Executive to
give such notice within such 30-day period shall not result in a waiver or forfeiture of any of the Executive’s rights under this Exhibit D except to the extent of actual damages suffered by the Company as a result of such failure. The
Executive shall not pay such claim prior to the expiration of the 15-day period following the date on which the Executive gives such notice to the Company (or such shorter period ending on the date that any payment of taxes, interest, penalties or
additions to tax with respect to such claim is due). If the Company notifies the Executive in writing prior to the expiration of such 15-day period (regardless of whether such claim was earlier paid as contemplated by the preceding parenthetical)
that it desires to contest such claim, the Executive shall: 
  

	 	(1)	give the Company any information reasonably requested by the Company relating to such claim; 

  

	 	(2)	take such action in connection with contesting such claim as the Company shall reasonably request in writing from time to time, including, without limitation, accepting legal
representation with respect to such claim by an attorney selected by the Company; 

  

	 	(3)	cooperate with the Company in good faith in order effectively to contest such claim; and 

  

	 	(4)	permit the Company to participate in any proceedings relating to such claim; 

 provided, however, that the Company shall bear and pay directly all attorneys fees, costs and expenses
(including additional interest, penalties and additions to tax) incurred in connection with such contest and shall indemnify and hold the Executive harmless, on an after-tax basis, for all taxes (including, without limitation, income and excise
taxes), interest, penalties and additions to tax imposed in relation to such claim and in relation to the payment of such costs and expenses or indemnification. 
 (b) Without limitation on the foregoing provisions of this Section 1.4, and to the extent its actions do not unreasonably interfere with or prejudice the Executive’s disputes with the Taxing Authority as to
other issues, the Company shall control all proceedings taken in connection with such contest and, in its reasonable discretion, may pursue or forego any and all administrative appeals, proceedings, hearings and conferences with the Taxing Authority
in respect of such claim and may, at its or in their sole option, either direct the Executive to pay the tax, interest or penalties claimed and sue for a refund or contest the claim in any permissible manner, and the Executive agrees to prosecute
such contest to a determination before any administrative tribunal, in a court of initial jurisdiction and in one or more appellate courts, as the Company shall determine; provided, however, that if the Company directs the Executive to pay such
claim and sue for a refund, the Company shall advance an amount equal to such payment to the Executive, on an interest-free basis, and shall indemnify and hold the Executive harmless, on an after-tax basis, from all taxes (including, without
limitation, income and excise taxes), interest, penalties and additions to tax imposed with respect to such advance or with respect to any imputed income with respect to such advance, as any such amounts are incurred; and, further, provided, that
any extension of the statute of limitations relating to payment of taxes, interest, penalties or additions to tax for the taxable year of the Executive with respect to which such contested amount is claimed to be due is limited solely to such
contested amount; and, provided, further, that any settlement of any claim shall be reasonably acceptable to the Executive, and the Company’s control of the contest shall be limited to issues with respect to which a Gross-Up Payment would be
payable hereunder, and the Executive shall be entitled to settle or contest, as the case may be, any other issue. 
 (c) If, after receipt by
the Executive of an amount advanced by the Company pursuant to Section 1.4(a), the Executive receives any refund with respect to such claim, the Executive shall (subject to the Company’s compliance with the requirements of this Exhibit D)
promptly pay to the Company an amount equal to such refund (together with any interest paid or credited thereof after taxes applicable thereto), net of any taxes (including, without limitation, any income or excise taxes), interest, penalties or
additions to tax and any other costs incurred by the Executive in connection with such advance, after giving effect to such repayment. If, after the receipt by the Executive of an amount advanced by the Company pursuant to Section 1.4(a), it is
finally determined that the Executive is not entitled to any refund with respect to such claim, then such advance shall be forgiven and shall not be required to be repaid and the amount of such advance shall be treated as a Gross-Up Payment and
shall offset, to the extent thereof, the amount of any Gross-Up Payment otherwise required to be paid. 
 (d) For purposes of this Exhibit D,
whether the Excise Tax is applicable to a Payment shall be deemed to be “finally determined” upon the earliest of: (1) the expiration of the 

 
15-day period referred to in Section 1.4(a) if the Company or the Executive’s employer has not notified the Executive that it intends to contest
the underlying claim, (2) the expiration of any period following which no right of appeal exists, (3) the date upon which a closing agreement or similar agreement with respect to the claim is executed by the Executive and the Taxing
Authority (which agreement may be executed only in compliance with this section), or (4) the receipt by the Executive of notice from the Company that it no longer seeks to pursue a contest (which shall be deemed received if the Company does
not, within 15 days following receipt of a written inquiry from the Executive, affirmatively indicate in writing to the Executive that the Company intends to continue to pursue such contest). 
 1.5 Compliance with Law. Nothing in this Exhibit D is intended to violate the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, and to the extent that any advance or repayment
obligation hereunder would constitute such a violation, such obligation shall be modified so as to make the advance a nonrefundable payment to the Executive and the repayment obligation null and void to the extent required by such Act.
