SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUEST UNDER 17 C.F.R SECTIONS 24-B-2, 200.80 (B)(4) AND 230.406. 
 2012 SUPPLY AGREEMENT 
 This Agreement (the “Agreement”)
effective as of the day the last party affixes its signature hereto (the “Effective Date”) is by and between Kensey Nash Corporation, a Delaware corporation, (“Seller”) whose principal place of business is 735 Pennsylvania Drive,
Exton, PA 19341 and St. Jude Medical, Cardiology Division, Inc. d/b/a St. Jude Medical, Cardiovascular Division a Delaware corporation, (“Buyer”), whose principal place of business is at 177 East County Road B, St. Paul, MN 55117 .

 WHEREAS, Buyer desires to purchase Products (as described below) from Seller and Seller desires to sell Products to Buyer
under the terms and conditions set forth herein. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, the parties, wishing to be legally bound, agree as follows:

 1. PRODUCTS: 
 Collagen plugs
in their current design configuration and used in currently commercially available Angio-Seal vascular closure devices (the “Collagen Plug”). Such collagen plugs are currently designated as Buyer’s Part Numbers: 

 

			
	22934-000	    	Collagen plug, Certified 5 hole, 6f STS
		
	22935-000	    	Rectangular collagen, 8f STS
		
	23378-000	    	Collagen plug, VIP, 6f plug
		
	23378-001	    	Collagen plug, VIP, 8f plug
		
	100000973	    	6f Aus collagen plug, VIP (Australian derived)
		
	100000974	    	8f Aus collagen plug, VIP (Australian derived)

 and, meeting the specifications (the “Specifications”) set forth in Schedule A, which is attached to and made a
part of this Agreement (collectively, the “Product” or “Products”). Such Specifications may be changed from time to time only as agreed to in writing by the parties. 
 2. DURATION: The duration of this Agreement shall be from the Effective Date until December 31, 2017 (“Initial Term”) unless terminated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or
otherwise agreed in writing by the parties. 

  
 1 of 23

 3. CO-EXCLUSIVITY: Subject to the terms of this Agreement Seller will be, along with Buyer and/or
Buyer’s affiliate(s), the co-exclusive supplier of Collagen Plugs during the Term of this Agreement. 
 4. QUANTITIES: 

4.1 Buyer shall purchase from Seller and Seller shall sell to Buyer a cumulative amount of 5,000,000 units of Product (the
“Cumulative Purchase Requirement”) deliverable during the Term of this Agreement; more specifically, (i) Buyer shall place a binding purchase order of 400,000 units of Product by March 31, 2012 to be shipped by Seller between
October 1, 2012 and December 31, 2012 (the “March 2012 Order”), (ii) Buyer shall place a binding purchase order of 1,500,001 units of Product by October 1, 2012 to be shipped by Seller between January 1, 2013 and
December 31, 2013, and (iii) Buyer shall purchase a minimum of 400,000 units of Product each calendar year during the Term until the Cumulative Purchase Requirement has been met. To avoid any doubt, the March 2012 Order counts toward the
Cumulative Purchasing Requirement. 
 4.2 Buyer may purchase from Seller a maximum of 2,000,000 units of Product deliverable in
each calendar year 2012 through 2017 (“Annual Maximum”). The maximum Purchases for Calendar year 2012 shall include the volume of units purchased on all orders for delivery in 2012, including those scheduled for delivery in 2012 and placed
under the parties’ prior Supply Agreement dated June 23, 2010 (“2010 Supply Agreement”). To avoid any doubt the purchases under the 2010 Supply Agreement shall not count toward the Cumulative Purchase Requirement in this
Agreement. Seller shall use reasonable efforts consistent with good business practice to meet Buyer’s requirements for quantities in excess of the Annual Maximum. 
 4.3 For Australian derived collagen plugs, Seller is not obligated to supply in excess of 200,000 units per calendar year. Seller is not obligated to make more than two deliveries of Australian derived
collagen per calendar year unless otherwise agreed to in writing. 
 5. ORDER AND DELIVERY:  

5.1 The March 2012 Order shall be for 400,000 units of U.S. derived Product at *** per plug. Should Buyer place any additional orders in
2012 for delivery in 2012, pricing for such additional orders will be subject to Exhibit B with the understanding that the price per plug for that order will be determined based on the volume of units purchased on all orders for delivery in 2012
including those scheduled for delivery and placed under the 2010 Supply Agreement. 
 5.2 On or before June 30 of each
calendar year (including 2012) during the Term of this Agreement, Buyer will provide Seller with a non-binding forecast of its Product needs for the following year. On or before October 1 of each calendar year, Buyer will issue a binding
purchase order for its Product needs for the subsequent calendar year “Initial Purchase Order”. Should Buyer need to place any 

  
 2 of 23

 
additional orders it shall issue a purchase order stating the desired shipment date(s) and quantity being ordered. Seller shall acknowledge promptly in writing to Buyer each purchase order issued
by Buyer and confirm delivery dates to destinations specified by Buyer, however, delivery must not conflict with Seller’s normal manufacturing lead times. 
 5.3 Each delivery of Products shall be accompanied by Seller’s Certificate of Conformance as described more fully in the Specifications for the Products. If any terms and conditions contained in such
purchase order or acknowledgment conflict with the terms of this Agreement, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall apply to the transaction. Changes in delivery date(s) or quantity specified in a purchase order may be made by Buyer by
means of a written amended purchase order, and shall become effective upon written approval by Seller. 
 6. ADDITIONAL QUANTITIES:
During the Term of this Agreement, Buyer shall notify Seller in writing at least ninety (90) days in advance of Buyer’s desired shipping date for quantities in excess of an Initial Purchase Order. Seller shall use commercially reasonable
efforts to meet Buyer’s requirements for such quantity in excess of an Initial Purchase Order. Should Seller be unable to supply Buyer with Product in excess of an Initial Purchase Order, Seller shall inform Buyer within thirty (30) days
of Seller’s receipt of notice whether Seller will supply all or a portion of such excess. Should Seller be unable to supply Buyer with any quantity of Products in excess of an Initial Purchase Order (the “Unfulfilled Excess”), Buyer
may purchase the Unfulfilled Excess from alternative suppliers, and such actions will not be a breach of any co-exclusivity provisions of this Agreement. 
 7. PRICE: Except as set forth in Section 5.1 of this Agreement the price for Products (the “Price”) shall be as set forth in Schedule B attached to this Agreement. 

8. WARRANTY: Subject to the conditions set forth below, Seller warrants that Products shipped hereunder meets and complies with the Specifications
set forth in Schedule A. Other than the foregoing, SELLER MAKES NO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE EVEN IF THAT PURPOSE IS KNOWN TO SELLER, NOR ANY OTHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTY. Buyer assumes all risk
and liability for results obtained by the use of Products covered by this Agreement, whether used singly or in combination with other products. 

9. INDEMNIFICATION: Subject to the conditions set forth below, Buyer shall fully indemnify Seller, and Seller’s agents, parent, subsidiaries,
affiliates, employees, officers and directors, successors or assigns against all loss and expense (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees) for injury to or death of any person or loss of or damage to property incurred by
Seller and resulting in any way from Buyer’s use or sale of vascular closure devices, or any act or omission, whether negligent or otherwise, on the part of the Buyer, its agents, employees, subcontractors or assignees, in connection with the

  
 3 of 23

 
performance of this Agreement except: (a) when such loss and expense are caused by a defect in any Products which were manufactured by Seller, wherein such defect caused such Products to not
meet Specifications, and wherein such Product(s) were a component of a vascular closure device manufactured and sold by Buyer, or an affiliate of Buyer; or (b) when caused solely by the willful misconduct or negligence of Seller. In the event
of either exception set forth in (a) or (b) in the preceding sentence, Seller shall fully indemnify Buyer, and Buyer’s agents, parent, subsidiaries, affiliates, employees, officers and directors, successors or assigns against all loss
and expense (including without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees). 
 The indemnifying party’s obligations under this Section
shall not apply unless: 
  

	 	A.	The indemnified party gives the indemnifying party prompt written notice of claims for which the indemnified party seeks indemnification;

	 	C.	The indemnifying party has the sole right to defend any such claim in the manner it deems prudent, including retaining counsel of its choice; and

  

	 	D.	The indemnifying party shall have the sole right to settle any such claim provided that in settling any claim the indemnifying party obtains a complete release for the
indemnified party and does not admit fault or liability on behalf of the indemnified party. 

 10. USE OF TRADEMARK: Each
party agrees that it will not, without the other party’s prior written consent, use and/or associate the other party, the other party’s corporate name or any of the other party’s trademarks, either orally or in writing, with any of
the other party’s products, except that Buyer may use Seller’s name and associate Seller with Buyer’s use of Products as is required by federal or state regulation in gaining approval to market or to continue marketing any of
Buyer’s devices or products. 
 11. CLAIMS OF NON-CONFORMITY: Buyer shall provide notice to Seller of any claim of non-conformity to
Specifications arising from Products within one hundred twenty (120) days after the later of the actual or scheduled date of receipt of the shipment containing the specific Products unit that is the subject of the claim (the “Claim
Period”). Except as to claims for indemnification set forth in Section 9, failure to give notice of claim within the Claim Period, shall constitute a waiver by Buyer of all claims in respect to such Products. No claim of non-conformity to
Specifications shall be allowed after Products has been processed by Buyer in any manner, except that opening the packages and inspecting Products with normal care in handling shall not constitute processing nor disallow such claim. Payment prior to
inspection of Products by Buyer shall not constitute waiver of any rights under this Agreement. In 

  
 4 of 23

 
addition, acknowledgement of receipt on packing slips or bills of lading shall not constitute acceptance of Products by Buyer. Products shall not be returned to Seller without Seller’s prior
permission, and then only in the manner and to the destination prescribed by Seller. Seller shall reimburse Buyer for the actual costs of returning any Products returned in accordance with Seller’s instructions. Upon Seller’s confirmation
of non-conformity, Seller will provide Buyer with credit, refund or replacement at Seller’s option for the non-conforming returned Products. In no event shall either party be liable to the other for special, indirect or consequential damages.

control standards and system which should be consistent and in conformity with the laws and regulations set forth in Section 17. If Buyer’s quality control inspection shows that any Products fails to meet the Specifications contained in
Schedule A, Buyer shall notify Seller within forty-five (45) days of discovery of the non-conformity. 
 12.2 Lot
Traceability. Vascular closure devices manufactured and sold by Buyer, or an affiliate of Buyer, shall contain lot numbers such that collagen components, including Products supplied hereunder, incorporated in such devices can be traced back to
the original supplier’s lot number. 
 13. DELIVERIES: Deliveries shall be F.O.B. Exton, Pennsylvania, USA via standard freight
carrier, using shipper of Buyer. Buyer shall be responsible for all delivery costs and will be invoiced for such by Seller. Title to and risk of loss in all Products sold hereunder shall pass to Buyer upon loading for shipment at Seller’s

be responsible for obtaining all necessary government approvals to market any device incorporating the Products. Seller shall manufacture Products under this Agreement in material compliance with the U.S. Quality System Regulation (QSR) and ISO
13485. Any changes to the Specifications relating to the Products must be agreed to in writing by both parties before such changes are implemented. Seller considers process validation to be a requirement of the QSR; therefore, Buyer shall either
fund such required validations, subject to negotiation with Seller regarding the price and extent of validation, or provide Seller with written confirmation that Buyer will assume all responsibility for validation. Upon terms of confidentiality
acceptable to Seller, Seller agrees to cooperate with Buyer in obtaining any such governmental approvals, including providing required information to the FDA or any other governmental agency requesting the information to the extent such information
is readily available or can be developed at little or no cost to Seller, unless Buyer agrees to fund such information research and preparation. Similarly, Seller agrees to provide reasonable assistance, including information and data, as needed by
Buyer to respond to complaints or claims asserted by third parties regarding devices incorporating the Products. If services or consulting is required to respond to issues raised by a governmental agency or in a complaint or claims asserted by a
third party beyond what is customarily or reasonably provided without charge (“Supplemental Consulting”), Seller will notify Buyer of its intent to charge for Supplemental Consulting with an estimate for anticipated charges. If, after
notice of Seller’s intent to charge, Buyer requests such Supplemental Consulting, Seller will charge at a rate that is discounted by twenty percent (-20%) from its regular consulting rates.
