 Exhibit 10.1 
 AMENDED AND RESTATED 
 EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
 THIS AMENDED AND RESTATED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (“Agreement”), is made and entered into as of January 1, 2009 (the
“Effective Date”) by and between Kensey Nash Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Joseph W. Kaufmann (“Executive”). Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Agreement shall
have the meanings ascribed to such terms in Exhibit C. 
 WHEREAS, the Company and Executive entered into that certain
employment agreement dated as of June 27, 2007 (the “Initial Agreement”); 
 WHEREAS, the Company and
Executive desire to amend and restate such employment agreement as set forth herein, primarily for the purpose of compliance with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”); and 

 WHEREAS, the Company wishes to continue to retain Executive as an executive employee, and Executive wishes to remain employed
by the Company in such capacity, all upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth; 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the
mutual covenants of the parties hereinafter set forth, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows: 
 1. EMPLOYMENT OF EXECUTIVE. The Company engages and employs Executive in an executive capacity and Executive accepts such employment and agrees to act as an
employee of the Company in accordance with the terms of employment hereinafter specified. Executive shall hold the office of Chief Executive Officer and shall, subject to the direction and supervision of the Board, (a) have the responsibilities
and authority customarily associated with such office, and (b) perform such other duties and responsibilities as the Board shall from time to time assign to him. Executive agrees to diligently and faithfully serve the Company and to devote his
best efforts, his full business time and his highest talents and skills to the furtherance and success of the Company’s business. 
 2.
COMPENSATION. As full and complete compensation to Executive for all services to be rendered by Executive hereunder, the Company shall pay Executive as follows: 
 (a) The Company shall, during the Employment Term (as defined in Paragraph 3(a)), pay or cause to be paid to Executive a base salary at the rate of $319,000 per annum, or Executive’s most recent per annum base
salary, whichever is greater (the “Base Salary”). Such Base Salary shall be paid in periodic installments at the discretion of the Company (but not less frequently than monthly) in accordance with the Company’s normal mode of
executive salary payment. 
 (b) The Company may, during the Employment Term (as defined in Paragraph 3(a)), pay or cause to be paid to
Executive an annual cash bonus not to exceed 100% of Executive’s Base Salary for 

  

 1 

 
the applicable Performance Period. Such annual cash bonus, if any, shall be paid following the end of the applicable Performance Period, but in no event
shall such annual cash bonus be paid later than March 15 following the calendar year in which the applicable Performance Period ends (e.g., the annual cash bonus for the Performance Period ending June 30, 2009 must be paid no later
than March 15, 2010). The amount of Executive’s cash bonus will be determined on an annual basis, in connection with the applicable Company bonus compensation plan (a “Bonus Plan”) and based upon specified goals and
objectives, at the discretion of the Board/Company’s Compensation Committee. In addition, Restricted Stock, Stock Options and other equity-based awards may be awarded to Executive in accordance with the applicable Company incentive compensation
plan (an “Incentive Plan”). 
 3. TERM OF EMPLOYMENT; SEVERANCE. 
 (a) The term of Executive’s employment under this Agreement (the “Employment Term”) shall commence on the Effective Date and shall
expire on the earliest to occur of the following dates: (i) June 27, 2010 (end of Employment Term in Initial Agreement); (ii) the effective date of Executive’s termination of employment by the Company, including any termination by the
Company for Cause; (iii) the effective date of Executive’s termination of employment due to his Retirement or resignation, including, but not limited to, a termination by Executive for Good Reason following a Change in Control; and
(iv) the date of Executive’s death; provided, however, that the Employment Term may be extended in additional two (2) year increments prior to its expiration by mutual written agreement of the parties hereto. Any such
extension shall also be referred to in this Agreement as the Employment Term. In the event that the Employment Term expires due to non-renewal of this Agreement and Executive’s employment with the Company continues, such employment shall be
at-will; provided, however, that Executive’s obligations under Paragraphs 6 through 10 hereof shall continue in full force and effect. 
 (b) Termination of Executive’s employment pursuant to this Agreement, voluntary termination of employment or non-renewal of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of any of Executive’s obligations
hereunder that survive termination hereof, including without limitation those arising under Paragraphs 6 through 10 inclusive hereof. 
 (c)
In the event Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause prior to a Change in Control during the Employment Term, the Company shall pay to Executive on the terms described below a severance fee equal to the greater of
(x) any amount of Base Salary remaining until the third anniversary of the Effective Date and a payment equal to one Estimated Bonus for each year of the original three-year Employment Term for which Executive has not yet received such a bonus
payment and to which Executive would otherwise be entitled but for such termination, or (y) twelve (12) months worth of Executive’s Base Salary and a payment equal to one Estimated Bonus. Such severance fee shall be paid (subject to
the proviso below) in a lump sum cash payment within sixty (60) days following the Termination Date, subject to Executive executing, returning to the Company and not revoking a Release Agreement and such Release Agreement becoming effective and
irrevocable no later than fifty-five (55) days following Executive’s Termination Date. Additionally, Executive shall continue to be eligible to receive those severance fringe benefits enumerated in Exhibit B hereof (the
“Continuation Benefits”) (subject to Paragraph 3(i)) for a period of time up to the third anniversary of the Effective Date (i.e., the remainder of the original three-year Employment Term) or twelve (12) months,
whichever is longer following Executive’s Termination Date; provided, however, that such Continuation Benefits must constitute COBRA Continuation Coverage in order for Executive to be eligible to receive such Continuation
Benefits. 
  

 2 

 In addition, subject to the terms of the applicable Incentive Plan, upon the termination of
Executive’s employment by the Company without Cause during the Employment Term, all of Executive’s Stock Options and Restricted Stock shall immediately vest and such Stock Options shall remain exercisable for a period of one (1) year
from Executive’s Termination Date (the “Extended Exercise Period”); provided, however, the Extended Exercise Period shall not be extended beyond the original term of the Stock Option provided for in the applicable
Grant Agreement or Incentive Plan. Upon the expiration of the Extended Exercise Period, all of Executive’s outstanding and unexercised Stock Options shall be immediately cancelled. 
 (d) In the event Executive’s employment is terminated either by the Company with Cause or by Executive other than for reasons provided in Paragraph
3(e) below during the Employment Term, the Company shall have no further obligations hereunder or otherwise with respect to Executive’s employment following the Termination Date, except for (i) the payment of Executive’s Base Salary
accrued through the Termination Date, and (ii) in the case of Executive’s termination due to Retirement, the provisions of Paragraph 3(h), if applicable. 
 (e) In the event, upon or following a Change in Control, the Company terminates Executive’s employment for a reason other than Cause or Executive quits his employment with the Company for Good Reason during the
Employment Term, the Company shall pay to Executive on the terms described below a severance fee equal to the greater of (x) the amount Executive would be entitled to receive under Paragraph 3(c) of this Agreement for a termination without
Cause, or (y) the sum of (A) two (2) times his regular Base Salary or two (2) times his most recent per annum Base Salary, whichever is greater, and (B) a payment in an amount equal to two (2) times an Estimated Bonus.
Such severance fee shall be paid (subject to the proviso below) in a lump sum cash payment within sixty (60) days following the Termination Date, subject to Executive executing, returning to the Company and not revoking a Release Agreement, and
such Release Agreement becoming effective and irrevocable, no later than fifty-five (55) days following Executive’s Termination Date. 
 Additionally, Executive shall continue to be eligible to receive the Continuation Benefits (subject to Paragraph 3(i)) for a period of up to twenty-four (24) months following Executive’s Termination Date; provided,
however, that such Continuation Benefits must constitute COBRA Continuation Coverage in order for Executive to be eligible to receive such Continuation Benefits. 
 In addition, subject to the terms of the applicable Incentive Plan, upon a Change in Control that occurs during the Employment Term, vesting of all unvested Stock Options granted and Restricted Stock awarded to
Executive shall accelerate such that Executive shall be immediately one hundred percent (100%) vested in all equity awarded. Upon or following a Change in Control, subject to the terms of the applicable Incentive Plan, in the event of
Executive’s termination without Cause or Executive’s resignation for Good Reason during the Employment Term, Executive’s Stock Options shall remain exercisable for a period of one (1) year from Executive’s Termination Date
(the “Extended Exercise Period”); provided, however, the Extended Exercise Period shall not be extended beyond the original term of the Stock Option provided for in the applicable Grant Agreement or Incentive Plan.
Upon the expiration of the Extended Exercise Period, all of Executive’s outstanding and unexercised Stock Options shall be immediately cancelled. 
 (f) In the event the Employment Term ends pursuant to Paragraph 3(a)(i), the Company shall have no further obligations hereunder and Executive’s employment shall be at-will in accordance with Paragraph 3(a).

  

 3 

 (g) In the event any payments or benefits received by Executive in connection with his termination of
employment or otherwise (which payments shall include, without limitation, the vesting of an equity award or other non-cash benefit or property), whether pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other plan, arrangement, or agreement with the
Company or any affiliated company (collectively, the “Total Payments”) would be subject (in whole or in part) to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, or any similar tax as may hereafter be imposed (the
“Excise Tax”), the provisions as attached in Exhibit D shall apply. 
 (h) In the event Executive’s employment
is terminated by Executive due to Executive’s Retirement during the Employment Term, subject to the terms of the applicable Incentive Plan, Executive’s Stock Options that are vested as of the Termination Date shall remain exercisable for a
period of one (1) year from the Termination Date (the “Extended Exercise Period”); provided, however, the Extended Exercise Period shall not be extended beyond the original term of the Stock Option provided for in
the applicable Grant Agreement or Incentive Plan. Upon the expiration of the Extended Exercise Period, all of Executive’s remaining outstanding and unexercised Stock Options shall be immediately cancelled. 
 (i) The Continuation Benefits Executive is eligible to receive, if any, under Paragraph 3(c) or 3(e), will cease immediately upon Executive becoming
gainfully employed and being eligible for benefits at his new place of employment. Executive shall notify the Company in writing promptly after Executive’s commencement of such other employment. 
 (j) Executive agrees that he shall not be entitled to receive any severance fee or other benefits under this Agreement if Executive breaches any of his
obligations arising under Paragraphs 8 through 10 hereof. Executive acknowledges that until a Release Agreement is timely executed, delivered to the Company and the applicable revocation period (if any) expires, the Company will not be obligated to
make any severance payments or provide any other benefits due under this Agreement following Executive’s Termination Date or Separation from Service. Executive further acknowledges that if either or both of the following occur: (x) the
Release Agreement is not timely executed and delivered to the Company, and/or (y) the applicable revocation period (if any) does not expire without revocation of the Release Agreement by Executive as provided in this Agreement, the severance
payments and other benefits described in Paragraph 3(c) or 3(e) (as applicable) shall be forfeited. Any severance paid pursuant to this Agreement shall be in addition to any other compensation or benefits to which Executive may be entitled under any
other plan, program or payroll practice of the Company, other than any applicable severance plan of the Company. 
 (k) The Company shall not
be required to provide additional accruals or contributions under any retirement plan qualified under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code following Executive’s Termination Date. 
 (l) The provision of any severance fringe benefit as described in this Agreement shall terminate upon the death of Executive if such death occurs prior
to the completion of such payments or benefits. 
 (m) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein provided, if Executive is considered a
“specified employee” (as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(i)) as of the Termination 

  

 4 

 
Date, no payment or benefits under this Agreement, if and to the extent such payment or benefits constitute deferred compensation, shall be paid or provided
before the date that is six (6) months after Executive’s Separation from Service (or upon Executive’s death, if earlier) (the “Delay Period”). Any deferred compensation owed to Executive during the Delay Period, and
for which payment is not otherwise provided, shall be accumulated by the Company and paid to Executive on the first business day after the end of the Delay Period. The foregoing restriction on the payment of amounts to Executive during the Delay
Period shall not apply to the payment of employment taxes. 
 4. FRINGE BENEFITS. 
 (a) During the Employment Term, Executive shall be entitled to participate in all health insurance and retirement benefit programs normally available to
other executives of the Company holding positions similar to that of Executive (subject to all applicable eligibility rules thereof), as from time to time in effect, and Executive shall also be eligible to receive the benefits listed on Exhibit
A hereto. 
 (b) During the Employment Term, Executive shall be entitled to paid vacation as listed in Exhibit A. Executive shall
make good faith efforts to schedule such vacations so as to least conflict with the conduct of the Company’s business and shall give the Company adequate advance notice of his planned absences. Unless otherwise required by applicable law,
accumulated, unused vacation time for executives of the Company is not vested and will not be paid to Executive either while employed or upon Executive’s termination of employment. 
 5. REIMBURSEMENTS. During the Employment Term, the Company shall reimburse Executive for all business-related expenses incurred by Executive at the Company’s direction. Executive shall submit to the
Company expense reports in compliance with established Company guidelines. 
 6. INVENTIONS. Executive agrees, on behalf of himself, his heirs
and personal representatives, that he will promptly communicate, disclose and transfer to the Company free of all encumbrances and restrictions (and will execute and deliver any papers and take any action at any time deemed necessary by the Company
to further establish such transfer) all inventions and improvements relating to Company’s business originated or developed by Executive solely or jointly with others during the term of his employment with the Company. Such inventions and
improvements shall belong to the Company whether or not they are patentable and whether or not patent applications are filed thereon. Such transfer shall include all patent rights (if any) to such inventions or improvements in the United States and
in all foreign countries. Executive further agrees, at the request of Company, to execute and deliver, at any time during the term of his employment with the Company or after his Termination Date, all assignments and other lawful papers (which will
be prepared at the Company’s expense) relating to any aspect of the prosecution of such patent applications and rights in the United States and foreign countries. 
 7. EXPOSURE TO PROPRIETARY INFORMATION. 
 (a) Executive acknowledges and agrees that during the
course of his employment by Company, he will be in continuous contact with customers, suppliers and others doing business with the Company throughout the world. Executive further acknowledges that the performance of his duties in connection with his
employment with the Company will expose him to data and information 

  

 5 

 
concerning the business and affairs of the Company, including but not limited to information relative to the Company’s proprietary rights and
technology, patents, financial statements, sales programs, pricing programs, profitability analyses and profit margin information, customer buying patterns, needs and inventory levels, supplier identities and other related matters, and that all of
such data and information (collectively “the Proprietary Information”) is vital, sensitive, confidential and proprietary to Company. 
 (b) In recognition of the special nature of his employment with the Company, including but not limited to his special access to the Proprietary Information, and in consideration of his employment, Executive
agrees to the covenants and restrictions set forth in Paragraphs 8 through 10 inclusive hereof. As used in Paragraphs 6 though 10, the term “Company” shall include, where applicable, any parent, subsidiary, sub-subsidiary, or affiliate of
Company. 
 8. USE OF PROPRIETARY INFORMATION. Executive acknowledges that the Proprietary Information constitutes a protectable business
interest of Company, and covenants and agrees that during his employment with the Company and after his Termination Date, he shall not, directly or indirectly, whether individually, as a director, stockholder, owner, partner, employee or
agent of any business, or in any other capacity, make known, disclose, furnish, make available or utilize any of the Proprietary Information, other than in the proper performance of his duties during his employment with the Company. Executive’s
obligations under this Paragraph 8 with respect to particular Proprietary Information shall terminate only at such time (if any) as the Proprietary Information in question becomes generally known to the public other than through a breach of
Executive’s obligations hereunder. 
 9. RESTRICTION AGAINST COMPETITION AND EMPLOYING OR SOLICITING COMPANY EMPLOYEES, CUSTOMERS OR
SUPPLIERS. Executive covenants and agrees that during Executive’s employment (both during the Employment Term and thereafter, if applicable) and for the twelve month period immediately following Executive’s Termination Date (the
“Restricted Period”), he shall not, directly or indirectly, whether individually, as a director, stockholder, partner, owner, employee or agent of any business, or in any other capacity, (i) engage in a business substantially
similar to that which is conducted by the Company in any market area in which such business is operated; (ii) solicit any party who is or was a customer or supplier of the Company on the Termination Date or at any time during the six month
period immediately prior thereto for the sale or purchase of any type or quantity of products sold by or used in the business of the Company on the Termination Date or at any time within such six month period; or (iii) solicit for employment
any person who was or is an employee of the Company on the Termination Date or at any time during the twelve month period immediately prior thereto. 
 If at
any time prior to the end of the Restricted Period, the Company determines that Executive is engaging in Competition, the Company shall have the right to immediately terminate further payments and benefits hereunder, and Executive shall reimburse
the Company for the gross amount of any severance benefits previously paid pursuant to Paragraph 3 of this Agreement. In addition, upon any such breach, Executive shall pay to the Company an amount equal to the aggregate “spread” on all
Stock Options exercised on or after the Termination Date (for this purpose “spread” in respect of any Stock Option shall mean the product of the number of shares as to which such Stock Option has been exercised on or after the Termination
Date multiplied by the difference between the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the exercise date (or if such common stock did not trade on the NASDAQ Global Select Market on the exercise date, the most recent date on which such
common stock did so trade) and the option price of the Stock Option). 
  

 6 

 If Executive engages in Competition at any time during the Restricted Period, Executive shall return all payments paid
under Paragraph 3, and the Company shall be entitled to enforce the return of any payments previously paid to Executive under Paragraph 3 of this Agreement. 
 10. RETURN OF COMPANY MATERIALS UPON TERMINATION. Executive acknowledges that all price lists, sales manuals, catalogs, binders, customer lists and other customer information, supplier lists, financial information, and
other records or documents containing Proprietary Information prepared by Executive or coming into his possession by virtue of his employment by the Company is and shall remain the property of the Company and that upon his Termination Date,
Executive shall return immediately to the Company all such items in his possession, together with all copies thereof. 
 11. EQUITABLE
REMEDIES. 
  

	 	(a)	Executive acknowledges and agrees that the covenants set forth in Paragraphs 6 through 10 inclusive hereof survive the expiration of the Employment Term; are reasonable and
necessary for the protection of the Company’s business interests; will cause irreparable injury to the Company if breached by Executive; and that in the event of Executive’s actual or threatened breach of any such covenants, the Company
will have no adequate remedy at law. Executive accordingly agrees that in the event of any actual or threatened breach by him of any of said covenants, the Company shall be entitled to immediate injunctive and other equitable relief, without bond
and without the necessity of showing actual monetary damages. Nothing contained herein shall be construed as prohibiting the Company from pursuing any other remedies available to it for such breach or threatened breach, including the recovery of any
damages which it is able to prove. 

  

	 	(b)	Each of the covenants in Paragraphs 6 through 10 inclusive hereof shall be construed as independent of any other covenants or other provisions of this Agreement.

  

	 	(c)	In the event of any judicial determination that any of the covenants set forth in Paragraphs 6 through 10 inclusive hereof is not fully enforceable, it is the intention and desire
of the parties that the court treat said covenants as having been modified to the extent deemed necessary by the court to render them reasonable and enforceable, and that the court enforce them to such extent. 

 12. LIFE INSURANCE. The Company may at its discretion and at any time apply for and procure as owner and for its own benefit and at its own expense,
insurance on the life of Executive in such amounts and in such form or forms as the Company may choose. Executive shall cooperate with the Company in procuring such insurance and shall, at the request of Company, submit to such medical examinations,
supply such information and execute such documents as may be required by the insurance company or companies to whom the Company has applied for such insurance. Executive shall have no interest whatsoever in any such policy or policies.

the Executive at the time specified below, an additional amount determined as set forth below (the “Gross-up Payment”). The Gross-up Payment shall be made with respect to the amount which equals 100% of the Executive’s
“excess parachute payments” subject to the Excise Tax. The Gross-up Payment shall be an amount such that the net amount retained by Executive with respect to the Total Payments after reduction for any Excise Tax on the Total Payments and
any federal, state and local income or employment tax and Excise Tax payable by the Executive on the Gross-up Payment hereunder (provided that such amount is actually paid when due) shall be equal to the amount of the Total Payments that the
Executive would retain if the Total Payments did not constitute parachute payments. 
 (3) For purposes of determining whether
any of the Total Payments will be subject to the Excise Tax and the amount of any Excise Tax: 
 (a) The Total Payments shall
be treated as “parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code, and all “excess parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(1) of the Code shall be treated as subject to the Excise
Tax, unless, and except that to the extent that, in the written opinion of independent legal counsel, compensation consultants or auditors of nationally recognized standing (“Independent Advisors”) selected by the Company and
reasonably acceptable to Executive, the Total Payments (in whole or in part) do not constitute parachute payments, or such excess parachute payments (in whole or in part) represent reasonable compensation for services actually rendered within the
meaning of Section 280G(b)(4) of the Code in excess of the base amount within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(3) of the Code or are otherwise not subject to the Excise Tax; 
 (b) The amount of the Total Payments which shall be treated as subject to the Excise Tax shall be equal to the lesser of (i) the
total amount of the Total Payments or (ii) the total amount of excess parachute payments within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(1) of the Code (after applying Paragraph 3(a) above); and 
  

 D-1 

 (c) The value of any non-cash benefits or any deferred payment or benefit shall be
determined by the Independent Advisors in accordance with the principles of Sections 280G(d)(3) and (4) of the Code. 
 (4) The Gross-up Payment provided for above or any payment made under this Exhibit D shall be paid no later than the end of Executive’s taxable year following the taxable year in which Executive remits the Excise Tax to the
applicable taxing authority; provided, however, that, to the extent that such Gross-Up Payment constitutes deferred compensation under Code Section 409A that is payable on account of Executive’s Separation from Service and
such Gross-up Payment is subject to the six (6) month delay provisions of Section 409A of the Code and Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(2), such payment shall be subject to the payment delay provisions of Paragraph 3(m). In the
event that the Excise Tax is subsequently determined to be less than the amount taken into account hereunder in the Gross-up Payment, Executive shall repay to the Company at the time that the amount of such reduction in Excise Tax is finally
determined (but, if previously paid to the taxing authorities, not prior to the time the amount of such reduction is refunded to Executive or otherwise realized as a benefit by Executive) the portion of the Gross-up Payment that would not have been
paid if such Excise Tax had been applied to initially calculating the Gross-up Payment, plus interest on the amount of such repayment at the rate provided in Section 1274(b)(2)(B) of the Code. In the event that the Excise Tax is determined to
exceed the amount taken into account hereunder at the time the Gross-up Payment is made (including by reason of any payment the existence or amount of which cannot be determined at the time of the Gross Up Payment), the Company shall pay an
additional Gross Up Payment and shall indemnify and hold Executive harmless in respect of such excess (plus any interest and penalties with respect to such excess) at the time that the amount of such excess is finally determined, but in no event
shall any such Gross-up Payment(s) be made later than the end of Executive’s taxable year following the taxable year in which Executive remits the Excise Tax to the applicable taxing authority.

the Released Parties (as defined in Paragraph 3 above). If Executive receives any subpoena or becomes subject to any legal obligation that implicates this Paragraph 6, Executive will provide prompt written notice of that fact to the Company with a
copy to Katten Muchin Rosenman LLP at the addresses provided in Paragraph 13 of the Employment Agreement, and will enclose a copy of the subpoena and any other documents describing the legal obligation.

This Release Agreement is entered into solely to resolve fully all matters related to or arising out of Executive’s employment with and termination from the Company, and its execution and implementation may not be used as evidence and shall not
be admissible in a subsequent proceeding of any kind, except one alleging a breach of this Release Agreement.

attorneys’ fees and costs incurred by the prevailing party in connection with such action.

provisions of this Release Agreement shall be severable and the invalidity of any provision shall not affect the validity of the other provisions; provided, however, that upon a finding by a court of competent jurisdiction that any
release or agreement in Paragraph 3 is illegal, void or unenforceable, Executive agrees to execute promptly a release, waiver and/or covenant that is legal and enforceable to the extent permitted by law.

 E-4Amended and Restated Employment Agreement

 Exhibit 10.2 
 AMENDED AND RESTATED 
 EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
 THIS AMENDED AND RESTATED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (“Agreement”), is made and entered into as of January 1, 2009 (the
“Effective Date”) by and between Kensey Nash Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Douglas G. Evans, P.E. (“Executive”). Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Agreement
shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in Exhibit C. 
 WHEREAS, the Company and Executive entered into that certain
employment agreement dated as of June 27, 2007 (the “Initial Agreement”); 
 WHEREAS, the Company and Executive
desire to amend and restate such employment agreement as set forth herein, primarily for the purpose of compliance with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”); and  
 WHEREAS, the Company wishes to continue to retain Executive as an executive employee, and Executive wishes to remain employed by the Company in
such capacity, all upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth; 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants of
the parties hereinafter set forth, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows: 
 1. EMPLOYMENT OF EXECUTIVE. The Company engages and employs Executive in an executive capacity and Executive accepts such employment and agrees to act as an employee of the Company in accordance with the
terms of employment hereinafter specified. Executive shall hold the office of Chief Operating Officer and shall, subject to the direction and supervision of the Board and the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), (a) have the
responsibilities and authority customarily associated with such office, and (b) perform such other duties and responsibilities as the CEO shall from time to time assign to him. Executive agrees to diligently and faithfully serve the Company and
to devote his best efforts, his full business time and his highest talents and skills to the furtherance and success of the Company’s business. 
 2.
COMPENSATION. As full and complete compensation to Executive for all services to be rendered by Executive hereunder, the Company shall pay Executive as follows: 
 (a) The Company shall, during the Employment Term (as defined in Paragraph 3(a)), pay or cause to be paid to Executive a base salary at the rate of $286,000 per annum, or Executive’s most recent per annum base
salary, whichever is greater (the “Base Salary”). Such Base Salary shall be paid in periodic installments at the discretion of the Company (but not less frequently than monthly) in accordance with the Company’s normal mode of
executive salary payment. 
  

 1 

 (b) The Company may, during the Employment Term (as defined in Paragraph 3(a)), pay or cause to be paid
to Executive an annual cash bonus not to exceed 100% of Executive’s Base Salary for the applicable Performance Period. Such annual cash bonus, if any, shall be paid following the end of the applicable Performance Period, but in no event shall
such annual cash bonus be paid later than March 15 following the calendar year in which the applicable Performance Period ends (e.g., the annual cash bonus for the Performance Period ending June 30, 2009 must be paid no later than
March 15, 2010). The amount of Executive’s cash bonus will be determined on an annual basis, in connection with the applicable Company bonus compensation plan (a “Bonus Plan”) and based upon specified goals and objectives,
at the discretion of the Board/Company’s Compensation Committee. In addition, Restricted Stock, Stock Options and other equity-based awards may be awarded to Executive in accordance with the applicable Company incentive compensation plan (an
“Incentive Plan”). 
 3. TERM OF EMPLOYMENT; SEVERANCE. 
 (a) The term of Executive’s employment under this Agreement (the “Employment Term”) shall commence on the Effective Date and shall
expire on the earliest to occur of the following dates: (i) June 27, 2010 (end of Employment Term in Initial Agreement); (ii) the effective date of Executive’s termination of employment by the Company, including any termination by the
Company for Cause; (iii) the effective date of Executive’s termination of employment due to his Retirement or resignation, including, but not limited to, a termination by Executive for Good Reason following a Change in Control; and
(iv) the date of Executive’s death; provided, however, that the Employment Term may be extended in additional two (2) year increments prior to its expiration by mutual written agreement of the parties hereto. Any such
extension shall also be referred to in this Agreement as the Employment Term. In the event that the Employment Term expires due to non-renewal of this Agreement and Executive’s employment with the Company continues, such employment shall be
at-will; provided, however, that Executive’s obligations under Paragraphs 6 through 10 hereof shall continue in full force and effect. 
 (b) Termination of Executive’s employment pursuant to this Agreement, voluntary termination of employment or non-renewal of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of any of Executive’s obligations
hereunder that survive termination hereof, including without limitation those arising under Paragraphs 6 through 10 inclusive hereof. 
 (c)
In the event Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause prior to a Change in Control during the Employment Term, the Company shall pay to Executive on the terms described below a severance fee equal to the greater of
(x) any amount of Base Salary remaining until the third anniversary of the Effective Date and a payment equal to one Estimated Bonus for each year of the original three-year Employment Term for which Executive has not yet received such a bonus
payment and to which Executive would otherwise be entitled but for such termination, or (y) twelve (12) months worth of Executive’s Base Salary and a payment equal to one Estimated Bonus. Such severance fee shall be paid (subject to
the proviso below) in a lump sum cash payment within sixty (60) days following the Termination Date, subject to Executive executing, returning to the Company and not revoking a Release Agreement and such Release Agreement becoming effective and
irrevocable no later than fifty-five (55) days following Executive’s Termination Date. Additionally, Executive shall continue to be eligible to receive those severance fringe benefits enumerated in Exhibit B hereof (the
“Continuation Benefits”) (subject to Paragraph 3(i)) for a period of time up to the third anniversary of the Effective Date (i.e., the remainder of the original three-year Employment Term) or twelve (12) months,
whichever is longer following Executive’s Termination Date; provided, however, that such Continuation Benefits must constitute COBRA Continuation Coverage in order for Executive to be eligible to receive such Continuation
Benefits. 
  

 2 

 In addition, subject to the terms of the applicable Incentive Plan, upon the termination of
Executive’s employment by the Company without Cause during the Employment Term, all of Executive’s Stock Options and Restricted Stock shall immediately vest and such Stock Options shall remain exercisable for a period of one (1) year
from Executive’s Termination Date (the “Extended Exercise Period”); provided, however, the Extended Exercise Period shall not be extended beyond the original term of the Stock Option provided for in the applicable
Grant Agreement or Incentive Plan. Upon the expiration of the Extended Exercise Period, all of Executive’s outstanding and unexercised Stock Options shall be immediately cancelled. 
 (d) In the event Executive’s employment is terminated either by the Company with Cause or by Executive other than for reasons provided in Paragraph
3(e) below during the Employment Term, the Company shall have no further obligations hereunder or otherwise with respect to Executive’s employment following the Termination Date, except for (i) the payment of Executive’s Base Salary
accrued through the Termination Date, and (ii) in the case of Executive’s termination due to Retirement, the provisions of Paragraph 3(h), if applicable. 
 (e) In the event, upon or following a Change in Control, the Company terminates Executive’s employment for a reason other than Cause or Executive quits his employment with the Company for Good Reason during the
Employment Term, the Company shall pay to Executive on the terms described below a severance fee equal to the greater of (x) the amount Executive would be entitled to receive under Paragraph 3(c) of this Agreement for a termination without
Cause, or (y) the sum of (A) two (2) times his regular Base Salary or two (2) times his most recent per annum Base Salary, whichever is greater, and (B) a payment in an amount equal to two (2) times an Estimated Bonus.
Such severance fee shall be paid (subject to the proviso below) in a lump sum cash payment within sixty (60) days following the Termination Date, subject to Executive executing, returning to the Company and not revoking a Release Agreement, and
such Release Agreement becoming effective and irrevocable, no later than fifty-five (55) days following Executive’s Termination Date. 
 Additionally, Executive shall continue to be eligible to receive the Continuation Benefits (subject to Paragraph 3(i)) for a period of up to twenty-four (24) months following Executive’s Termination Date; provided,
however, that such Continuation Benefits must constitute COBRA Continuation Coverage in order for Executive to be eligible to receive such Continuation Benefits. 
 In addition, subject to the terms of the applicable Incentive Plan, upon a Change in Control that occurs during the Employment Term, vesting of all unvested Stock Options granted and Restricted Stock awarded to
Executive shall accelerate such that Executive shall be immediately one hundred percent (100%) vested in all equity awarded. Upon or following a Change in Control, subject to the terms of the applicable Incentive Plan, in the event of
Executive’s termination without Cause or Executive’s resignation for Good Reason during the Employment Term, Executive’s Stock Options shall remain exercisable for a period of one (1) year from Executive’s Termination Date
(the “Extended Exercise Period”); provided, however, the Extended Exercise Period shall not be extended beyond the original term of the Stock Option provided for in the applicable Grant Agreement or Incentive Plan.
Upon the expiration of the Extended Exercise Period, all of Executive’s outstanding and unexercised Stock Options shall be immediately cancelled. 
  

 3 

 (f) In the event the Employment Term ends pursuant to Paragraph 3(a)(i), the Company shall have no
further obligations hereunder and Executive’s employment shall be at-will in accordance with Paragraph 3(a). 
 (g) In the event any
payments or benefits received by Executive in connection with his termination of employment or otherwise (which payments shall include, without limitation, the vesting of an equity award or other non-cash benefit or property), whether pursuant to
the terms of this Agreement or any other plan, arrangement, or agreement with the Company or any affiliated company (collectively, the “Total Payments”) would be subject (in whole or in part) to the excise tax imposed by
Section 4999 of the Code, or any similar tax as may hereafter be imposed (the “Excise Tax”), the provisions as attached in Exhibit D shall apply. 
 (h) In the event Executive’s employment is terminated by Executive due to Executive’s Retirement during the Employment Term, subject to the
terms of the applicable Incentive Plan, Executive’s Stock Options that are vested as of the Termination Date shall remain exercisable for a period of one (1) year from the Termination Date (the “Extended Exercise Period”);
provided, however, the Extended Exercise Period shall not be extended beyond the original term of the Stock Option provided for in the applicable Grant Agreement or Incentive Plan. Upon the expiration of the Extended Exercise Period,
all of Executive’s remaining outstanding and unexercised Stock Options shall be immediately cancelled. 
 (i) The Continuation Benefits
Executive is eligible to receive, if any, under Paragraph 3(c) or 3(e), will cease immediately upon Executive becoming gainfully employed and being eligible for benefits at his new place of employment. Executive shall notify the Company in writing
promptly after Executive’s commencement of such other employment. 
 (j) Executive agrees that he shall not be entitled to receive any
severance fee or other benefits under this Agreement if Executive breaches any of his obligations arising under Paragraphs 8 through 10 hereof. Executive acknowledges that until a Release Agreement is timely executed, delivered to the Company and
the applicable revocation period (if any) expires, the Company will not be obligated to make any severance payments or provide any other benefits due under this Agreement following Executive’s Termination Date or Separation from Service.
Executive further acknowledges that if either or both of the following occur: (x) the Release Agreement is not timely executed and delivered to the Company, and/or (y) the applicable revocation period (if any) does not expire without
revocation of the Release Agreement by Executive as provided in this Agreement, the severance payments and other benefits described in Paragraph 3(c) or 3(e) (as applicable) shall be forfeited. Any severance paid pursuant to this Agreement shall be
in addition to any other compensation or benefits to which Executive may be entitled under any other plan, program or payroll practice of the Company, other than any applicable severance plan of the Company. 
 (k) The Company shall not be required to provide additional accruals or contributions under any retirement plan qualified under Section 401(a) of
the Internal Revenue Code following Executive’s Termination Date. 
  

 4 

 (l) The provision of any severance fringe benefit as described in this Agreement shall terminate upon the
death of Executive if such death occurs prior to the completion of such payments or benefits. 
 (m) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
herein provided, if Executive is considered a “specified employee” (as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(i)) as of the Termination Date, no payment or benefits under this Agreement, if and to the extent such payment or
benefits constitute deferred compensation, shall be paid or provided before the date that is six (6) months after Executive’s Separation from Service (or upon Executive’s death, if earlier) (the “Delay Period”). Any
deferred compensation owed to Executive during the Delay Period, and for which payment is not otherwise provided, shall be accumulated by the Company and paid to Executive on the first business day after the end of the Delay Period. The foregoing
restriction on the payment of amounts to Executive during the Delay Period shall not apply to the payment of employment taxes. 
 4. FRINGE
BENEFITS. 
 (a) During the Employment Term, Executive shall be entitled to participate in all health insurance and retirement benefit
programs normally available to other executives of the Company holding positions similar to that of Executive (subject to all applicable eligibility rules thereof), as from time to time in effect, and Executive shall also be eligible to receive the
benefits listed on Exhibit A hereto. 
 (b) During the Employment Term, Executive shall be entitled to paid vacation as listed in
Exhibit A. Executive shall make good faith efforts to schedule such vacations so as to least conflict with the conduct of the Company’s business and shall give the Company adequate advance notice of his planned absences. Unless otherwise
required by applicable law, accumulated, unused vacation time for executives of the Company is not vested and will not be paid to Executive either while employed or upon Executive’s termination of employment. 
 5. REIMBURSEMENTS. During the Employment Term, the Company shall reimburse Executive for all business-related expenses incurred by Executive at the
Company’s direction. Executive shall submit to the Company expense reports in compliance with established Company guidelines. 
 6.
INVENTIONS. Executive agrees, on behalf of himself, his heirs and personal representatives, that he will promptly communicate, disclose and transfer to the Company free of all encumbrances and restrictions (and will execute and deliver
any papers and take any action at any time deemed necessary by the Company to further establish such transfer) all inventions and improvements relating to Company’s business originated or developed by Executive solely or jointly with others
during the term of his employment with the Company. Such inventions and improvements shall belong to the Company whether or not they are patentable and whether or not patent applications are filed thereon. Such transfer shall include all patent
rights (if any) to such inventions or improvements in the United States and in all foreign countries. Executive further agrees, at the request of Company, to execute and deliver, at any time during the term of his employment with the Company or
after his Termination Date, all assignments and other lawful papers (which will be prepared at the Company’s expense) relating to any aspect of the prosecution of such patent applications and rights in the United States and foreign countries.

  

 5 

 7. EXPOSURE TO PROPRIETARY INFORMATION. 
 (a) Executive acknowledges and agrees that during the course of his employment by Company, he will be in continuous contact with customers, suppliers and
others doing business with the Company throughout the world. Executive further acknowledges that the performance of his duties in connection with his employment with the Company will expose him to data and information concerning the business and
affairs of the Company, including but not limited to information relative to the Company’s proprietary rights and technology, patents, financial statements, sales programs, pricing programs, profitability analyses and profit margin information,
customer buying patterns, needs and inventory levels, supplier identities and other related matters, and that all of such data and information (collectively “the Proprietary Information”) is vital, sensitive, confidential and
proprietary to Company. 
 (b) In recognition of the special nature of his employment with the Company, including but not limited to his
special access to the Proprietary Information, and in consideration of his employment, Executive agrees to the covenants and restrictions set forth in Paragraphs 8 through 10 inclusive hereof. As used in Paragraphs 6 though 10, the term
“Company” shall include, where applicable, any parent, subsidiary, sub-subsidiary, or affiliate of Company. 
 8. USE OF PROPRIETARY
INFORMATION. Executive acknowledges that the Proprietary Information constitutes a protectable business interest of Company, and covenants and agrees that during his employment with the Company and after his Termination Date, he shall
not, directly or indirectly, whether individually, as a director, stockholder, owner, partner, employee or agent of any business, or in any other capacity, make known, disclose, furnish, make available or utilize any of the Proprietary Information,
other than in the proper performance of his duties during his employment with the Company. Executive’s obligations under this Paragraph 8 with respect to particular Proprietary Information shall terminate only at such time (if any) as the
Proprietary Information in question becomes generally known to the public other than through a breach of Executive’s obligations hereunder. 
 9.
RESTRICTION AGAINST COMPETITION AND EMPLOYING OR SOLICITING COMPANY EMPLOYEES, CUSTOMERS OR SUPPLIERS. Executive covenants and agrees that during Executive’s employment (both during the Employment Term and thereafter, if applicable)
and for the twelve month period immediately following Executive’s Termination Date (the “Restricted Period”), he shall not, directly or indirectly, whether individually, as a director, stockholder, partner, owner, employee or
agent of any business, or in any other capacity, (i) engage in a business substantially similar to that which is conducted by the Company in any market area in which such business is operated; (ii) solicit any party who is or was a
customer or supplier of the Company on the Termination Date or at any time during the six month period immediately prior thereto for the sale or purchase of any type or quantity of products sold by or used in the business of the Company on the
Termination Date or at any time within such six month period; or (iii) solicit for employment any person who was or is an employee of the Company on the Termination Date or at any time during the twelve month period immediately prior thereto.

 If at any time prior to the end of the Restricted Period, the Company determines that Executive is engaging in Competition, the Company shall have the
right to immediately terminate further payments and benefits hereunder, and Executive shall reimburse the Company for the gross amount of any 

  

 6 

 
severance benefits previously paid pursuant to Paragraph 3 of this Agreement. In addition, upon any such breach, Executive shall pay to the Company an amount
equal to the aggregate “spread” on all Stock Options exercised on or after the Termination Date (for this purpose “spread” in respect of any Stock Option shall mean the product of the number of shares as to which such Stock
Option has been exercised on or after the Termination Date multiplied by the difference between the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the exercise date (or if such common stock did not trade on the NASDAQ Global Select Market on
the exercise date, the most recent date on which such common stock did so trade) and the option price of the Stock Option). 
 If Executive engages in
Competition at any time during the Restricted Period, Executive shall return all payments paid under Paragraph 3, and the Company shall be entitled to enforce the return of any payments previously paid to Executive under Paragraph 3 of this
Agreement. 
 10. RETURN OF COMPANY MATERIALS UPON TERMINATION. Executive acknowledges that all price lists, sales manuals, catalogs,
binders, customer lists and other customer information, supplier lists, financial information, and other records or documents containing Proprietary Information prepared by Executive or coming into his possession by virtue of his employment by the
Company is and shall remain the property of the Company and that upon his Termination Date, Executive shall return immediately to the Company all such items in his possession, together with all copies thereof. 
 11. EQUITABLE REMEDIES. 
  

	 	(a)	Executive acknowledges and agrees that the covenants set forth in Paragraphs 6 through 10 inclusive hereof survive the expiration of the Employment Term; are reasonable and
necessary for the protection of the Company’s business interests; will cause irreparable injury to the Company if breached by Executive; and that in the event of Executive’s actual or threatened breach of any such covenants, the Company
will have no adequate remedy at law. Executive accordingly agrees that in the event of any actual or threatened breach by him of any of said covenants, the Company shall be entitled to immediate injunctive and other equitable relief, without bond
and without the necessity of showing actual monetary damages. Nothing contained herein shall be construed as prohibiting the Company from pursuing any other remedies available to it for such breach or threatened breach, including the recovery of any
damages which it is able to prove. 

  

	 	(b)	Each of the covenants in Paragraphs 6 through 10 inclusive hereof shall be construed as independent of any other covenants or other provisions of this Agreement.

  

	 	(c)	In the event of any judicial determination that any of the covenants set forth in Paragraphs 6 through 10 inclusive hereof is not fully enforceable, it is the intention and desire
of the parties that the court treat said covenants as having been modified to the extent deemed necessary by the court to render them reasonable and enforceable, and that the court enforce them to such extent. 

 12. LIFE INSURANCE. The Company may at its discretion and at any time apply for and procure as owner and for its own benefit and at its own expense,
insurance on the life of Executive in

such amounts and in such form or forms as the Company may choose. Executive shall cooperate with the Company in procuring such insurance and shall, at the
request of Company, submit to such medical examinations, supply such information and execute such documents as may be required by the insurance company or companies to whom the Company has applied for such insurance. Executive shall have no interest
whatsoever in any such policy or policies.

 C-3 

 Exhibit D 
 Excise Tax Gross-up Payment 
 (1) In the event that the Total Payments (as defined in
Paragraph 3(g) of the Agreement) cause Executive’s “parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code to equal or to exceed three times the Executive’s “base amount” within the meaning of
Section 280G(b)(3) of the Code (the “Trebled Base Amount”) by an amount which is not greater than 10% of the Trebled Base Amount, the Total Payments shall be reduced (or eliminated) such that no portion of the Total Payments is
subject to the Excise Tax (as defined in Paragraph 3(g) of the Agreement). Reductions shall be made first to those Total Payments arising under the terms of this Agreement. 
 (2) In the event that the Total Payments cause the parachute payments to exceed 110% of the Trebled Base Amount, the Company shall pay to
the Executive at the time specified below, an additional amount determined as set forth below (the “Gross-up Payment”). The Gross-up Payment shall be made with respect to the amount which equals 100% of the Executive’s
“excess parachute payments” subject to the Excise Tax. The Gross-up Payment shall be an amount such that the net amount retained by Executive with respect to the Total Payments after reduction for any Excise Tax on the Total Payments and
any federal, state and local income or employment tax and Excise Tax payable by the Executive on the Gross-up Payment hereunder (provided that such amount is actually paid when due) shall be equal to the amount of the Total Payments that the
Executive would retain if the Total Payments did not constitute parachute payments. 
 (3) For purposes of determining whether
any of the Total Payments will be subject to the Excise Tax and the amount of any Excise Tax: 
 (a) The Total Payments shall
be treated as “parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code, and all “excess parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(1) of the Code shall be treated as subject to the Excise
Tax, unless, and except that to the extent that, in the written opinion of independent legal counsel, compensation consultants or auditors of nationally recognized standing (“Independent Advisors”) selected by the Company and
reasonably acceptable to Executive, the Total Payments (in whole or in part) do not constitute parachute payments, or such excess parachute payments (in whole or in part) represent reasonable compensation for services actually rendered within the
meaning of Section 280G(b)(4) of the Code in excess of the base amount within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(3) of the Code or are otherwise not subject to the Excise Tax; 
 (b) The amount of the Total Payments which shall be treated as subject to the Excise Tax shall be equal to the lesser of (i) the
total amount of the Total Payments or (ii) the total amount of excess parachute payments within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(1) of the Code (after applying Paragraph 3(a) above); and 
  

 D-1 

 (c) The value of any non-cash benefits or any deferred payment or benefit shall be
determined by the Independent Advisors in accordance with the principles of Sections 280G(d)(3) and (4) of the Code. 
 (4) The Gross-up Payment provided for above or any payment made under this Exhibit D shall be paid no later than the end of Executive’s taxable year following the taxable year in which Executive remits the Excise Tax to the
applicable taxing authority; provided, however, that, to the extent that such Gross-Up Payment constitutes deferred compensation under Code Section 409A that is payable on account of Executive’s Separation from Service and
such Gross-up Payment is subject to the six (6) month delay provisions of Section 409A of the Code and Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(2), such payment shall be subject to the payment delay provisions of Paragraph 3(m). In the
event that the Excise Tax is subsequently determined to be less than the amount taken into account hereunder in the Gross-up Payment, Executive shall repay to the Company at the time that the amount of such reduction in Excise Tax is finally
determined (but, if previously paid to the taxing authorities, not prior to the time the amount of such reduction is refunded to Executive or otherwise realized as a benefit by Executive) the portion of the Gross-up Payment that would not have been
paid if such Excise Tax had been applied to initially calculating the Gross-up Payment, plus interest on the amount of such repayment at the rate provided in Section 1274(b)(2)(B) of the Code. In the event that the Excise Tax is determined to
exceed the amount taken into account hereunder at the time the Gross-up Payment is made (including by reason of any payment the existence or amount of which cannot be determined at the time of the Gross Up Payment), the Company shall pay an
additional Gross Up Payment and shall indemnify and hold Executive harmless in respect of such excess (plus any interest and penalties with respect to such excess) at the time that the amount of such excess is finally determined, but in no event
shall any such Gross-up Payment(s) be made later than the end of Executive’s taxable year following the taxable year in which Executive remits the Excise Tax to the applicable taxing authority.

 3. Executive Release of Rights and Agreement Not to Sue. Executive (defined for purposes of this Paragraph 3 and
Paragraphs 6-10 of the Employment Agreement as Executive and Executive’s agents, representatives, attorneys, assigns, heirs, executors, and administrators) fully and unconditionally releases the Company, its subsidiaries and affiliates, and any

suits, grievances, debts, sums of money, agreements, promises, damages, back and front pay, costs, expenses, attorneys’ fees, and remedies of any type, including without limitation those arising or that may have arisen out of or in connection

of any representation, warranty, or obligation set forth in this Release Agreement. 
 4. Preservation of Employment Agreement.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Release Agreement, Executive acknowledges and agrees that the provisions of the Employment Agreement, to which this Release Agreement is attached as Exhibit E, shall remain in full force and

assist any person or entity who may or who has filed a lawsuit, claim or complaint against the Released Parties (as defined in Paragraph 3 above). If Executive receives any subpoena or becomes subject to any legal obligation that implicates this
Paragraph 6, Executive will provide prompt written notice of that fact to the Company with a copy to Katten Muchin Rosenman LLP at the addresses provided in Paragraph 13 of the Employment Agreement, and will enclose a copy of the subpoena and any
other documents describing the legal obligation.

constitute an admission by the Company that any action it took with respect to Executive was wrongful, unlawful or in violation of any local, state, or federal act, statute, or constitution, or susceptible of inflicting any damages or injury on
Executive, and the Company specifically denies any such wrongdoing or violation. This Release Agreement is entered into solely to resolve fully all matters related to or arising out of Executive’s employment with and termination from the
Company, and its execution and implementation may not be used as evidence and shall not be admissible in a subsequent proceeding of any kind, except one alleging a breach of this Release Agreement. 
 8. Violation of Release Agreement. If Executive or the Company prevails in a legal or equitable action claiming that the other party has breached
this Release Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the other party the reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs incurred by the prevailing party in connection with such action. 
  

 E-2

invalidity of any provision shall not affect the validity of the other provisions; provided, however, that upon a finding by a court of competent jurisdiction that any release or agreement in Paragraph 3 is illegal, void or
unenforceable, Executive agrees to execute promptly a release, waiver and/or covenant that is legal and enforceable to the extent permitted by law.
