 The OraSure Technologies, Inc., 2000 Stock Award Plan (the “Plan”) is administered by the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of
Directors (the “Board”) of OraSure. This Agreement evidences the Committee’s grant of an Award of Restricted Shares to Participant under the Plan. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Agreement have the meanings given in
the Plan. 
  
 OraSure and Participant agree as

pledged, encumbered, or otherwise disposed of, voluntarily or involuntarily, by Participant. The foregoing restrictions are in addition to any other restrictions on transfer of the Restricted Shares arising under federal or state securities laws or
other agreements with OraSure. Any purported sale, assignment, transfer, pledge, encumbrance, or other disposition of Restricted Shares in violation of this Agreement shall be null and void and may and should be enjoined.

evidencing the Vested Restricted Shares, without the legend described in Section 4, and shall return the corresponding stock power or stock powers described in Section 4. 

	 	2.3	Employment Requirement—Forfeiture. If Participant’s employment with OraSure terminates for any reason other than an event described in Section 2.2(b) at any time
prior to the date the Restricted Shares become Vested, all of the Restricted Shares that are not then Vested shall be forfeited to OraSure with no payment to Participant. 

  
 3. Rights as Stockholder. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, Participant shall be entitled to all the rights of a
stockholder with respect to the Restricted Shares, including the right to vote the Restricted Shares and to receive dividends and other distributions, if any, payable with respect to the Restricted Shares. Any stock dividends issued with respect to
the Restricted Shares before the Restricted Shares have become Vested shall be treated as additional Restricted Shares subject to this Agreement.

OraSure withhold a portion of the Restricted Shares that would otherwise be issuable to Participant. Such Restricted Shares will be valued based on their Fair Market Value on the date the tax withholding is required to be made. Any stock withholding
with respect to Participant will be subject to such limitations as the Committee may impose to comply with the requirements of the Exchange Act.

 3.4 Additional Employee Benefits. Employee shall be entitled to
receive or participate in any additional benefits, including without limitation medical and dental insurance programs, qualified and non-qualified profit sharing or pension plans, disability plans, medical reimbursement plans and life insurance

provided that (a) Employee shall have a target amount of stock options as determined by the Compensation Committee under the Company’s stock award plan, which is at least equal to the target amount for Employee under the Company’s stock

disability and life insurance, in accordance with the most favorable plans of the Company in effect during the 90-day period immediately preceding the date of termination (amounts payable under clauses (ii), (iv) and (v) are collectively referred to
as “severance”). As a condition to receipt of severance under this Section 6.8.2, Employee shall sign and deliver a release agreement, in form and substance substantially as set forth in Exhibit C hereto, releasing all claims related to
Employee’s employment. The severance shall be in lieu of and not in addition to any other severance arrangement maintained by the Company, and shall be offset by any monies Employee may owe to the Company. The Company’s obligation to pay
the amounts stated in clauses (ii), (iv) and (v) of this Section 6.8.2 shall terminate if Employee fails to comply with the Confidentiality Agreement during the period that severance is being paid by the Company and such failure would constitute a
material breach of this Agreement under Section 5 hereof. 
  
 7.
Indemnification. The Company agrees that if Employee is made a party (or is threatened to be made a party to) any action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative (a “Proceeding”), by reason of
his service (including past service) as an officer, director, employee, agent, or the like of the Company, or is or was serving at the request of the Company as an officer, director, employee, agent, or the like of another entity, including, without
limitation, as a fiduciary of an employee benefit plan sponsored or established by the Company (any such service for a subsidiary, affiliate, joint venture or other entity in which the Company has an ownership or other financial interest, or as a
fiduciary of any employee benefit plan sponsored by the Company or any such other entity, shall be presumed to be at the request of the Company) whether or not the basis of such Proceeding is an act or omission alleged to have occurred while
Employee was acting in an official capacity as a director, officer, employee, agent, or the like, then Employee shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company to the fullest extent authorized by applicable law (including for all reasonable
attorneys’ fees and costs incurred by Employee), and such indemnification shall continue even if Employee has ceased to be a director, officer, employee, agent, or the like of the Company for any reason. 
  
 8. Insurance. During the Term and for a period of six years thereafter
(regardless of the reason for the termination of Employee’s employment), the Company shall maintain suitable directors and officers insurance coverage for Employee in his respective roles and shall name Employee as an additional insured under
such insurance policies, which policies shall be no less favorable to Employee than such insurance policies that cover the Company’s directors during such time period. 
  

 7 

 9. Non-Competition. In consideration of the severance payable hereunder, during the Term and for a
period of one (1) year thereafter, Executive agrees that, unless he obtains written agreement from the Company or the Board of Directors, he will not: 
  
 a. recruit, solicit, or hire any executive or employee of the Company; 
  
 b. induce or solicit any current or prospective customer, client, or supplier of the Company to cease being a customer,
client or supplier or divert Company business away from any customer, client, or supplier of the Company; or 
  
 c. own, manage, control, work for, or provide services to any entity which competes with the Company in the market for rapid point-of-care, oral fluid
diagnostic testing in the United States (the “Protected Business”); 
  
 provided, however, that this Section 9 (i) shall not prevent Employee from accepting a position with and working for any other entity which competes with the Company in the Protected Business, if such business is diversified, Employee is
employed in a department, division or other unit of the business that is not engaged in the Protected Business and Employee does not, directly or indirectly, provide any assistance, services, advice, consultation or information with respect to rapid
point-of-care oral fluid diagnostic testing to the department, division or unit of the business engaged in the Protected Business; and (ii) shall not prevent Employee from purchasing or owning less than five percent (5%) of the stock or other
securities of any entity, provided that such stock or other securities are traded on any national or regional securities exchange or are actively traded in the over-the-counter market and registered under Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended. 
  
 10. Golden Parachute Excise Tax. 

  
 a. Initial Determinations by Accounting Firm.
In the event a change in “the ownership or effective control” of the Company or “the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets” of the Company occurs or is expected to occur (in either case within the meaning of Section
280G of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended (the “Code”)) (a “Change in Ownership”), the Company shall retain a national accounting firm selected by the Company and reasonably acceptable to Employee (the “Accounting
Firm”) to perform the calculations necessary under this Section 10. The Accounting Firm shall have discretion to retain one or more independent appraisers with adequate expertise (collectively, the “Appraisers”) to provide any
valuations necessary for the Accounting Firm’s calculations hereunder. The Company shall pay all the fees and costs associated with the work performed by the Accounting Firm and any Appraiser retained by the Accounting Firm. If the Accounting
Firm has previously performed services for any person, entity or group in connection with the Change in Ownership, Employee may select an alternative national accounting firm to be the Accounting Firm. If any Appraiser otherwise performs work for
any of the entities involved in the Change in Ownership or their affiliates (or has performed work for any such entity within the three years preceding the calculations hereunder), then Employee may select an alternative appraiser of national
stature with adequate expertise to be an Appraiser. The Accounting Firm shall provide promptly to both the Company and Employee a written report setting forth the calculations required under this Section 10, together with a detailed report of all
relevant supporting data, valuations and 
  

 8 

 calculations. All determinations of the Accounting Firm and the Appraisers shall be binding on Employee and the Company.
When making the calculations required hereunder, Employee shall be deemed to pay (i) Federal income taxes at the highest applicable marginal rate of Federal income taxation for the taxable year for which any such calculation is made, and (ii) any
applicable state and local income taxes at the highest applicable marginal rate of taxation for the taxable year for which any such calculation is made, net of the maximum reduction in Federal income taxes which could be obtained by Employee from
deduction of such state and local taxes. The Accounting Firm shall determine (y) the aggregate amount of all payments, benefits and distributions provided by the Company to Employee or for his benefit, whether paid or payable or distributed or
distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other agreement, plan or arrangement of the Company or otherwise (other than any payment pursuant to this Section 10) which are in the nature of compensation and are contingent upon a
Change in Ownership (valued pursuant to Section 280G of the Code) (collectively the “Payments”); and (z) the maximum amount of the Payments Employee would be entitled to receive without being subject to the excise tax imposed by Section
4999 of the Code (the “Threshold Amount”) (such excise tax, together with any interest or penalties with respect to such excise tax, are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Excise Tax”). 
  
 b. Gross-up Payment. If the amount of the Payments exceeds the
Threshold Amount by more than Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000), then the Company shall pay to Employee an additional payment (a “Gross-up Payment”) in an amount of up to the first One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) of Excise Tax imposed upon
the Payments (inclusive of any Excise Tax, federal, state and local payroll (such as Social Security and Medicare taxes) and other taxes and income taxes imposed upon the Gross-up Payment). All determinations required to be made as to whether a
Gross-up Payment is required and the amount of such Gross-up Payment shall be made by the Accounting Firm. As a result of the uncertainty in the application of Section 4999 of the Code at the time of the initial determination by the Accounting Firm
hereunder, it is possible that Gross-up Payments which will not have been made by the Company should have been made (“Underpayment”), consistent with the calculations required to be made hereunder. In the event that the Company exhausts
its remedies as described below, and Employee is thereafter required to make a payment or an additional payment of any Excise Tax, the Accounting Firm shall determine the amount of the Underpayment that has occurred and any such Underpayment shall
be promptly paid by the Company to Employee or for his benefit, subject to the aggregate dollar limitation set forth in the first sentence of this Section 10(b). 
  
 c. Cut-Back. Payments shall be made without regard to whether the deductibility of such Payments (or any other
payments) would be limited or precluded by Section 280G of the Code and without regard to whether such payments would subject the Employee to Excise Tax; provided, however, that if the Total After-Tax Payments (as defined below) would be increased
by the limitation or elimination of any portion of the Payments, then the Payments will be reduced to the extent necessary to maximize the Total After-Tax Payments. In the event of any underpayment or overpayment under this Section 10 (as determined
after the application of this Section 10(c)), the amount of such underpayment or overpayment will be immediately paid by the Company to Employee or refunded by Employee to the Company. For purposes of this Agreement, “Total After-Tax
Payments” means the difference between (A) the sum of (i) the total of all “parachute payments” (as that term is defined in Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code) made to or for the benefit of Employee and (ii) the amount of any Gross-up
Payment (whether 
  

 9 

 made hereunder or otherwise), less (b) all applicable federal, state, and local payroll and other taxes and income taxes
(including, without limitation, the Excise Tax described in Section 4999 of the Code) imposed on the parachute payments and Gross-Up Payment. 
  
 d. Procedures With Respect to IRS Claims. Employee shall notify the Company in writing of any claim by the Internal Revenue Service relating
to any unpaid excise tax applicable to the Payments. Such notification shall be given as soon as practicable but no later than 20 business days after the Employee knows of such claim. Employee shall not pay such claim without the Company’s
written consent prior to the expiration of the 30-day period following the date on which Employee gives such notice to the Company (or such shorter period ending on the date that any payment of taxes with respect to such claim is due). If the
Company notifies Employee in writing prior to the expiration of such period that it desires to contest such claim, Employee shall (i) give the Company any information reasonably requested by the Company relating to such claim; (ii) take such action
in connection with contesting such claim as the Company shall reasonably request in writing from time to time including, without limitation, accepting legal representation with respect to such claim by an attorney reasonably selected by the Company;
(iii) cooperate with the Company in good faith in order effectively to contest such claim; and (iv) permit the Company to participate in any proceedings relating to such claim; provided, however, that the Company shall bear and pay directly all
costs and expenses (including additional interest and penalties) incurred in connection with such contest and shall indemnify and hold Employee harmless, on an after-tax basis, for any and all taxes, including any Excise Tax, and including interest
and penalties with respect thereto, imposed as a result of such representation and payment of costs and expenses. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if the Company has notified Employee that it desires to contest such claim, the
Company shall control all proceedings taken in connection with such contest and, at its sole option, may pursue or forego any and all administrative appeals, proceedings, hearings and conferences with the taxing authority in respect of such claim
and may, at its sole option, either direct Employee to pay the tax claimed and sue for a refund or contest the claim in any permissible manner, and Executive agrees to prosecute such contest to a determination before any administrative tribunal, in
a court of initial jurisdiction and in one or more appellate courts, as the Company shall determine. Furthermore, the Company’s control of the contest shall be limited to issues with respect to which a Gross-up Payment would be payable
hereunder and Employee shall be entitled to settle or contest, as the case may be, any other issue raised by the Internal Revenue Service or any other taxing authority. 
  
 11. Remedies. The respective rights and duties of the Company and Employee under this Agreement are in addition to,
and not in lieu of, those rights and duties afforded to and imposed upon them by law or at equity. 
  
 12. Severability of Provisions. The provisions of this Agreement are severable, and if any provision hereof is held invalid or unenforceable, it
shall be enforced to the maximum extent permissible, and the remaining provisions of the Agreement shall continue in full force and effect. 
  
 13. Nonwaiver. Failure by either party at any time to require performance of any provision of this Agreement shall not limit the right of the party
failing to require performance to enforce the provision. No provision of this Agreement may be waived by either party except by 
  

 10 

 a writing signed by that party. A waiver of any breach of a provision of this Agreement shall be construed narrowly and
shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any succeeding breach of that provision or a waiver of that provision itself or of any other provision. 
  
 14. Non-Disparagement. Both during and after his employment, Employee agrees not to disparage the Company or any of its stockholders, directors,
officers, or employees, and the Company agrees not to disparage, and to cause its directors, officers and employees not to disparage, Employee. Employee and the Company agree not to make any statement or engage in any conduct that might affect
adversely the business or professional reputation of the other party or, in the case of the Company, any of its stockholders, directors, officers or employees and the Company. Any breach of this Section 14 by a director, officer or employee of the
Company shall be deemed to be a breach by the Company. 
  
 15.
Other Agreements. Employee represents, warrants and, where applicable, covenants to the Company that: 
  
 a. There are no restrictions, agreements or understandings whatsoever to which Employee is a party which would prevent or make unlawful Employee’s
execution of this Agreement or Employee’s employment hereunder, or which is or would be inconsistent or in conflict with this Agreement or Employee’s employment hereunder, or would prevent, limit or impair in any way the performance by
Employee of his obligations hereunder; 
  
 b. Employee’s
execution of this Agreement and Employee’s employment hereunder shall not constitute a breach of any contract, agreement or understanding, oral or written, to which Employee is a party or by which Employee is bound; and 
  
 c. Employee is free to execute this Agreement and to be employed by the
Company as an employee pursuant to the provisions set forth herein. 
  
 16. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Company and Employee and their respective successors, executors, administrators, heirs and/or permitted assigns; provided, however, that
neither Employee nor the Company may make any assignments of this Agreement or any interest herein, by operation of law or otherwise, without the prior written consent of the other party, except that, without such consent, the Company may assign
this Agreement to any successor to all or substantially all the business or assets of the Company by means of liquidation, dissolution, merger, consolidation, transfer of assets, or otherwise and Employee may transfer this Agreement by will or the
laws of descent and distribution. The Company will require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by merger, consolidation, transfer of assets, or otherwise) acquiring all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company
(whether such assets are held directly or indirectly) to assume expressly and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place. As used
in this Agreement, “Company” shall mean the Company as hereinbefore defined and any successor to its business and/or assets as aforesaid which assumes and agrees to perform this Agreement by operation of law, or otherwise. 
  

 11 

 17. Non-exclusivity of Rights; Effect of Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or
limit the Employee’s continuing or further participation in any benefit, bonus, incentive, stock-based or other plan or program provided by Company and for which Employee may qualify. Except as otherwise provided herein, amounts and benefits
which are vested benefits or which Employee is otherwise entitled to receive at or subsequent to the date of termination shall be payable in accordance with such plan or program. In the event any term of this Agreement is more favorable to Employee
than the corresponding terms of any Company plan in which Employee participates or of any agreement applicable to any stock option, restricted stock grant, stock-based or other award granted to Employee by the Company, then the terms of this
Agreement shall govern and the benefit under each such Company plan and Employee’s rights and benefits under each such award shall be determined in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. For the avoidance of any doubt, in the event of the
termination of Employee’s employment under circumstances described in Section 6.8.2, the provisions of Section 4.1 shall apply to each stock option, restricted stock grant and to each other stock-based award whenever granted to the Employee and
any forfeiture or recapture provision in any stock option, restricted stock grant, or other stock-based or incentive award which arises upon engaging in competition with the Company shall apply only in the event of Executive’s material breach
of Section 9(c) of this Agreement. 
  
 18. Entire Agreement;
Amendments. This Agreement and the Confidentiality Agreement contain the entire agreement and understanding of the parties hereto relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and supersede all prior and contemporaneous discussions,
agreements and understandings of every nature relating to the employment of Employee by the Company. This Agreement may not be changed or modified, except by an agreement in writing signed by each of the parties hereto. 
  
 19. Consent to Suit. Any legal proceeding arising out of or relating
to this Agreement shall be instituted in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, or if such court does not have jurisdiction or will not accept jurisdiction, in any court of general jurisdiction in the county in
Pennsylvania in which the Company maintains its principal place of business, and Employee and the Company hereby consent to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of such court and hereby waive any objection that Employee or the Company may have to
personal jurisdiction, venue, and any claim or defense of inconvenient forum. 
  
 20. Counterparts and Facsimiles. This Agreement may be executed, including execution by facsimile signature, in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, and all of which together
shall be deemed to be one and the same instrument. 
  

 12 

 21. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and enforced in accordance with, the laws
of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania without regard to the application of the principles of conflicts of laws. 
  
 The parties have executed this Employment Agreement as of the date stated above.

Agreement” referenced in the Employment Agreement. 
  
 TERMS 
  
 NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the
premises and mutual covenants contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows: 
  
 1. Provision of Services. The Company hereby engages the Consultant
for, and the Consultant hereby agrees to render, from time to time to the extent reasonably requested by the Company, at mutually determined times and places, consulting and such other services as provided herein during the Consulting Period (as

 2. Duties. The Consultant shall make himself available to the Board of
Directors (the “Board”) and the senior executive officers of the Company from time to time, upon reasonable notice, for the rendering of advice and counsel, consistent with his knowledge and experience, on the Company’s
business and such other matters as the Board or such officers of the Company may reasonably request. Subject to reasonable business travel required in the performance of duties which are subject to reimbursement by the Company, it is agreed that
Consultant’s services shall generally be provided from his home. The Company agrees that it will (i) provide the Consultant with or, at its discretion reimburse the Consultant for the use of, a computer and fax machine and (ii) reimburse

 (b) No Right to Employee Benefits. Consultant hereby acknowledges and
agrees that he is providing services as an independent contractor to the Company and is not and will not claim to be an employee of the Company in the performance of such services; thus, Consultant hereby waives any claim or argument that he is or

merger, consolidation, transfer of assets, or otherwise) acquiring all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company (whether such assets are held directly or indirectly) to assume expressly and agree to perform this Agreement in
the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place. As used in this Agreement, “Company” shall mean the Company as hereinbefore defined and any successor to its
business and/or assets as aforesaid which assumes and agrees to perform this Agreement by operation of law, or otherwise. 
  
 16. Consent to Suit. Any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be instituted in the United States District Court for
the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, or if such court does not have jurisdiction or will not accept jurisdiction, in any court of general jurisdiction in the county in Pennsylvania in which the Company maintains its principal place of business, and
Employee and the Company hereby consent to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of such court and hereby waive any objection that Employee or the Company may have to personal jurisdiction, venue, and any claim or defense of inconvenient forum.

  
 17. Counterparts and Facsimiles. This Agreement may be
executed, including execution by facsimile signature, in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, and all of which together shall be deemed to be one and the same instrument. 
  
 18. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and enforced
in accordance with, the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania without regard to the application of the principles of conflicts of laws.
