 Dear MaryAnne: 
  
 Natus Medical Inc. and Novation, LLC agree to extend the above-referenced Agreement from

 “2c. Market Competitive Pricing and Terms. 
  

	 	•	Pricing. Supplier will lower the Award Prices or increase any discount applicable to the purchase of the Products as necessary to promote market competitiveness for [***] or [***]
with [***] in the event Supplier [***] at a [***] to any [***] of such [***] or [***] in their [***]. However, this shall only apply if, at the time of sale, the [***] or [***] and [***] are equal to that of the [***] or [***] and will not apply to

	 	•	[***]. Supplier will [***], of [***] as necessary to promote market competitiveness for a [***] or [***] with [***] in the event Supplier [***] at [***] to any [***] of such [***]
or [***] in their [***]. However, this shall only apply if, at the time of sale, the [***] or [***] and [***] are equal to that of the [***] or [***] and will not apply to Supplier’s [***]. 

  
 If at any time during the Term Novation receives credible information that shows conclusively
that Supplier’s pricing or non-price terms to members violates this Agreement, Novation may provide written notices of such information to Supplier, which shall include all such credible information received by Novation and the detailed basis
for Novation’s conclusion that Supplier’s pricing violates this Agreement, and Supplier will, within five (5) business days for Novation’s private label products and within twenty (20) business days for all other Products, advise
Novation in writing of the reasons for the apparent discrepancy. If Novation does not accept the reasons for the discrepancy, they shall provide written notice of non-acceptance to Supplier within ten (10) days of receipt of Supplier’s written
reasons and then Supplier and Novation shall have ten (10) days to mutually resolve the dispute, to mutually agree to arbitrate or to mutually agree to terminate the Agreement without penalty within sixty (60) days written notice. The party
prevailing in any such arbitration shall be entitled to an award of fees and costs, including reasonable attorney’s fees, incurred in connection with such arbitration. If no mutual resolution is completed, the issue will become moot and no
action shall be taken. In addition, the parties agree that the following language shall be added to the existing Agreement: 
  
 “2f. Underutilized Businesses. Certain Members may be required by law, regulation and/or internal policy to do business with underutilized businesses
such as Minority Business Enterprises (MBE), Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBE), Small Business Enterprises (SBE), Historically Underutilized Businesses (HUB) and/or Women-owned Business Enterprises (WBE). To assist Novation in helping Members
meet these requirements, Supplier will comply with all Novation policies and programs with respect to such businesses and will provide, on request, Novation or any Member with statistical or other information with respect to Supplier’s
utilization of such businesses as a vendor, distributor, contractor or subcontractor. Novation, in its discretion, may make an award and/or negotiate another agreement with a HUB in addition to any sole or multi-source award.” 
  
 “4f. New Technology. (a) During the Term, Supplier will disclose to
Novation new technology developed by Supplier and made commercially available in the United States and which provides the same function as the Products or Equipment or any component thereof. Upon introduction of the new technology by Supplier, each
Member will be provided the option to purchase the new technology Equipment and receive Supplier’s standard trade-in credit for the older technology Equipment. In the event Supplier fails to provide such option to the members, (i) Novation will
have the right to terminate any or al of the Products which have been superseded by such new technology providing the same function as the Products or Equipment and (ii) Novation may elect at its discretion to contract with one or more additional
suppliers of comparatively similar new technology. 
  
 (b) If at
anytime during the Term, Novation determines that a third party vendor has developed new technology which provides substantially improved benefits over technology currently available, Novation shall provide written notice of such information to
Supplier, and may, within thirty (30) days, elect to contract with such third party vendor. Such action will not constitute a breach of this Agreement by Novation. However, Supplier will have the option to terminate this Agreement with sixty (60)
days notice and without penalty. 
  
 Please indicate your acceptance of this
extension to the Agreement as amended by signing in the space provided below, and returning one signed original to John Engles at your earliest convenience. A copy is provided for your records.

 WHEREAS, Employee’s employment with Company was terminated on or about
May 30, 2003 (the “Termination Date”); 
  
 WHEREAS, the
Parties, and each of them, wish to resolve any and all disputes, claims, complaints, grievances, charges, actions, petitions and demands that the Employee may have against the Company as defined herein, including, but not limited to, any and all
claims arising or in any way related to Employee’s employment with, or separation from, the Company; 
  
 NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises made herein, the Parties hereby agree as follows: 
  
 COVENANTS 
  
 1.    Consideration.

this lump sum payment, Employee agrees to provide the Company with services in a temporary transition role through August 29, 2003 (the “Consulting Period”). During the Consulting Period, upon the Company reasonable request, Employee
agrees that he will provide information and services to effectuate the transition of his job duties and responsibilities. 
  
 (b).    Stock.    The Parties agree that for purposes of determining the number of shares
of the Company’s common stock which Employee is entitled to purchase from the Company, pursuant to the exercise of outstanding options, the Employee will be considered to have vested only up to the Termination Date. The exercise of any stock
options shall continue to be subject to the terms and conditions of the Stock Agreements.

May, subject to Employee’s right to continue his/her health insurance under COBRA. Should Employee so elect, the Company shall reimburse Employee for up to three (3) months health care coverage. Employee’s participation in all other
benefits and incidents of employment ceased on the Termination Date. Employee ceased accruing employee benefits, including, but not limited to, vacation time and paid time off, as of the Termination Date. 

 2.    Confidential Information.    Employee shall continue
to maintain the confidentiality of all confidential and proprietary information of the Company and shall continue to comply with the terms and conditions of the Confidentiality Agreement between Employee and the Company. Employee shall return all of
the Company’s property and confidential and proprietary information in his/her possession to the Company on the Effective Date of this Agreement. 
  
 3.    Payment of Salary.    Employee acknowledges and represents that the Company has paid all salary,
wages, bonuses, accrued vacation, commissions and any and all other benefits due to Employee once the above noted payments and benefits are received.

material breach of this Agreement and, in the event of breach by Employee, shall entitle the Company immediately to recover the severance benefits provided to Employee under this Agreement. 
  
 5.    Acknowledgement of Waiver of Claims Under ADEA.
Employee acknowledges that he is waiving and releasing any rights he may have under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 (“ADEA”) and that this waiver and release is knowing and voluntary. Employee and the Company agree that
this waiver and release does not apply to any rights or claims that may arise under ADEA after the Effective Date of this Agreement. Employee acknowledges that the consideration given for this waiver and release Agreement is in addition to anything
of value to which Employee was already entitled. Employee further acknowledges that he has been advised by this writing that: 
  
 (a).    he should consult with an attorney prior to executing this Agreement;

 (c).    he has seven (7) days following his/her execution of this Agreement to revoke the Agreement; and 
  
 (d).    this Agreement shall not be effective until the revocation period has expired. 
  
 (e).    nothing in this Agreement
prevents or precludes Employee from challenging or seeking a determination in good faith of the validity of this waiver under the ADEA, nor does it impose any condition precedent, penalties or costs for doing so, unless specifically authorized by
federal law. 
  
 6.    Civil Code Section
1542.    The Parties represent that they are not aware of any claim by either of them other than the claims that are released by this Agreement. Employee and the Company acknowledge that they have been advised by legal
counsel and are familiar with the provisions of California Civil Code Section 1542, which provides as follows: 
  
 A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH
IF KNOWN BY HIM MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR. 
  
 Employee and the Company, being aware of said code section, agree to expressly waive any rights they may have thereunder, as well as under any other statute or common law principles of similar effect.

 8.    Application for
Employment.    Employee understands and agrees that, as a condition of this Agreement, he shall not be entitled to any employment with the Company, its subsidiaries, or any successor, and he hereby waives any right, or
alleged right, of employment or re-employment with the Company. Employee further agrees that he will not apply for employment with the Company, its subsidiaries or related companies, or any successor. 
  
 9.    Confidentiality.    The
Parties acknowledge that their agreement to keep the terms and conditions of this Agreement confidential was a material factor on which all parties relied in entering into this Agreement. The Parties hereto agree to use their best efforts to
maintain in confidence the existence of this Agreement, the contents and terms of 
  

 3 

 this Agreement, the consideration for this Agreement, and any allegations relating to the Company or employee’s
employment with the Company except as otherwise provided for in this Agreement (hereinafter collectively referred to as “Settlement Information”). The Parties agree to take every reasonable precaution to prevent disclosure of any
Settlement Information to third parties, and agree that there will be no publicity, directly or indirectly, concerning any Settlement Information. The Parties agree to take every precaution to disclose Settlement Information only to those attorneys,
accountants, governmental entities, and family members who have a reasonable need to know of such Settlement Information. The Parties agree that if a party proves that the other party breached this Confidentiality provision, it shall be entitled to
an award of its costs spent enforcing this provision, including all reasonable attorneys’ fees associated with the enforcement action without regard to whether the actual damages can be established from the breach. 
  
 10.    No Cooperation.    
Each Party agrees it will not act in any manner that might damage the other party. The Parties agree that they will not counsel or assist any attorneys or their clients in the presentation or prosecution of any disputes, differences, grievances,
claims, charges, or complaints by any third party against the other party and/or any officer, director, employee, agent, representative, shareholder or attorney of the Company, unless under a subpoena or other court order to do so. The Parties
further agree both to immediately notify the other party upon receipt of any court order, subpoena, or any legal discovery device that seeks or might require the disclosure or production of the existence or terms of this Agreement, and to furnish,
within three (3) business days of its receipt, a copy of such subpoena or legal discovery device to the other party. 
  
 11.    Non-Disparagement.    Each party agrees to refrain from any defamation, libel or slander of the
other, or tortious interference with the contracts and relationships of the other. All inquiries by potential future employers of Employee will be directed to Human Resources. Upon inquiry, the Company shall only state the following: Employee’s
last position and dates of employment. The Company’s obligations under this section extend only to then current executives, officers, members of the Board of Directors, and managing agents, and only for so long as those individuals are
employees and/or directors of the Company. 
  
 12.    Non-Solicitation.    Employee agrees that for a period of twelve (12) months immediately following the Effective Date of this Agreement, Employee shall not either directly or indirectly

any other person or entity. 
  
 13.    No
Admission of Liability.    The Parties understand and acknowledge that this Agreement constitutes a compromise and settlement of disputed claims. No action taken by the Parties hereto, or either of them, either previously or
in connection with this Agreement shall be deemed or construed to be: (a) an admission of the truth or falsity of any claims heretofore made or (b) an acknowledgment or admission by either party of any fault or liability whatsoever to the other
party or to any third party. 
  
 14.    No
Knowledge of Wrongdoing.    Employee represents that he has no knowledge of any wrongdoing involving improper or false claims against a federal or state governmental agency, or any other wrongdoing that involves Employee or
other present or former Company employees. 
  
 15.    Costs.    The Parties shall each bear their own costs, expert fees, attorneys’ fees and other fees incurred in connection with this Agreement. 
  
 16.    Indemnification.    Each party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the other party from and against any and all loss, costs, damages or expenses, including, without limitation,
attorneys’ fees or expenses incurred by the non-breaching party arising out of the breach of this Agreement by the other party, or from any false representation made herein by the other party, or from any action or proceeding which may be
commenced, prosecuted or threatened by the other party or for that party’s benefit, upon that party’s initiative, or with that party’s aid or approval, contrary to the provisions of this Agreement. Each party further agrees that in
any such action or proceeding, this Agreement may be pled by a party as a complete defense, or may be asserted by way of counterclaim or cross-claim. 
  
 17.    Arbitration.    The Parties agree that any and all disputes arising out of, or relating to, the
terms of this Agreement, their interpretation, and any of the matters herein released, shall be subject to binding arbitration in San Mateo County before the American Arbitration Association under its National Rules for the Resolution of Employment

  

 4 

 Disputes. The Parties agree that the prevailing party in any arbitration shall be entitled to injunctive relief in any
court of competent jurisdiction to enforce the arbitration award. The Parties agree that the prevailing party in any arbitration shall be awarded its reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs. The Parties hereby agree to waive their right to have
any dispute between them resolved in a court of law by a judge or jury. This section will not prevent either party from seeking injunctive relief (or any other provisional remedy) from any court having jurisdiction over the Parties and the
subject matter of their dispute relating to Employee’s obligations under this Agreement and the agreements incorporated herein by reference. 
  
 18.    Authority.    The Company represents and warrants that the undersigned has the authority to act on
behalf of the Company and to bind the Company and all who may claim through it to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Employee represents and warrants that he has the capacity to act on his own behalf and on behalf of all who might claim
through him to bind them to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Each Party warrants and represents that there are no liens or claims of lien or assignments in law or equity or otherwise of or against any of the claims or causes of action
released herein. 
  
 19.    No
Representations.    Each party represents that it has had the opportunity to consult with an attorney, and has carefully read and understands the scope and effect of the provisions of this Agreement. Neither party has relied
upon any representations or statements made by the other party hereto which are not specifically set forth in this Agreement. 
  
 20.    Severability.    In the event that any provision hereof becomes or is declared by a court of
competent jurisdiction to be illegal, unenforceable or void, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect without said provision so long as the remaining provisions remain intelligible and continue to reflect the original intent of the
Parties. 
  
 21.    Entire
Agreement.    This Agreement represents the entire agreement and understanding between the Company and Employee concerning the subject matter of this Agreement and Employee’s relationship with the Company, and supersedes
and replaces any and all prior agreements and understandings between the Parties concerning the subject matter of this Agreement and Employee’s relationship with the Company, with the exception of the Confidentiality Agreement and the Stock
Agreements. 
  
 22.    No
Waiver.    The failure of any party to insist upon the performance of any of the terms and conditions in this Agreement, or the failure to prosecute any breach of any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, shall not
be construed thereafter as a waiver of any such terms or conditions. This entire Agreement shall remain in full force and effect as if no such forbearance or failure of performance had occurred. 
  
 23.    No Oral
Modification.    Any modification or amendment of this Agreement, or additional obligation assumed by either party in connection with this Agreement, shall be effective only if placed in writing and signed by both Parties or
by authorized representatives of each party. No provision of this Agreement can be changed, altered, modified, or waived except by an executed writing by the Parties. 
  
 24.    Governing Law.    This Agreement shall be deemed to have been executed
and delivered within the State of California, and it shall be construed, interpreted, governed, and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict of law principles. To the extent that either party seeks
injunctive relief in any court having jurisdiction for any claim relating to the alleged misuse or misappropriation of trade secrets or confidential or proprietary information, each party hereby consents to personal and exclusive jurisdiction and
venue in the state and federal courts of the State of California. 
  
 25.    Attorneys’ Fees.    In the event that either Party brings an action to enforce or effect its rights under this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its costs
and expenses, including the costs of mediation, arbitration, litigation, court fees, plus reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred in connection with such an action. 
  
 26.    Effective Date.    This Agreement is effective after it has been
signed by both parties and after eight (8) days have passed since Employee has signed the Agreement (the “Effective Date”), unless revoked by Employee within seven (7) days after the date the Agreement was signed by Employee.

 27.    Counterparts.    This Agreement may be executed in
counterparts, and each counterpart shall have the same force and effect as an original and shall constitute an effective, binding agreement on the part of each of the undersigned.
