Amended and Restated 1999 Employee Incentive Plan

 Exhibit 10.2 
 SALIENT SURGICAL TECHNOLOGIES, INC. 
 AMENDED AND RESTATED 1999 EMPLOYEE INCENTIVE PLAN

  

	1.	PURPOSE 

 The purpose of this Amended and Restated
1999 Employee Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) is to advance the interests of Salient Surgical Technologies, Inc. (f/k/a Virtuel Medical Devices, Inc. and Tissuelink Medical, Inc.) (the “Company”) by enhancing the ability of the
Company and its subsidiaries to attract and retain directors and employees, consultants or advisers who are in a position to make significant contributions to the success of the Company, to reward them for their contributions and to encourage them
to take into account the long-term interests of the Company. 
 The Plan provides for the award of options to purchase shares of the
Company’s common stock (“Common Stock”), for awards of restricted and unrestricted Common Stock, and for bonus awards of options, cash, and opportunities to purchase shares of the Company’s Preferred Stock (each a “Preferred
Stock Purchase Opportunity”), each as described more fully below. 
  

	2.	ELIGIBILITY FOR AWARDS 

 Persons eligible to receive
awards under the Plan shall be all directors of the Company (including directors who are not employees), all executive officers of the Company and its subsidiaries and such other employees, consultants and advisers who, in the opinion of the Board
of Directors of the Company (the “Board”), are in a position to make a significant contribution to the success of the Company and its subsidiaries. (Incentive options (as defined in section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (as from
time to time amended, the “Code”)) shall be granted only to “employees” as defined in the provisions of the Code or regulations thereunder applicable to incentive stock options.) A subsidiary for purposes of the Plan shall be a
corporation in which the Company owns, directly or indirectly, stock representing 50% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock. Persons selected for awards under the Plan are referred to herein as “Participants.”

  

	3.	ADMINISTRATION 

 The Plan shall be administered by
the Board. The Board shall have authority, not inconsistent with the express provisions of the Plan, (a) to grant awards consisting of cash, options, restricted or unrestricted Common Stock, and Preferred Stock Purchase Opportunities to such
Participants as the Board may select; (b) to set periodic performance criteria for certain 

 
Participants in relation to Performance Awards, as defined below; (c) to determine the time or times when awards shall be granted, the number of shares
of Common Stock or Preferred Stock subject to or underlying each award and the type of each award; (d) to determine which options are, and which options are not, incentive options; (e) to determine the terms and conditions of each award;
(f) to prescribe the form or forms of any instruments evidencing awards and any other instruments required under the Plan and to change such forms from time to time; (g) to adopt, amend and rescind rules and regulations for the
administration of the Plan; and (h) to interpret the Plan and to decide any questions and settle all controversies and disputes that may arise in connection with the Plan. Such determinations of the Board shall be conclusive and shall bind all
parties. Subject to Section 9, the Board shall also have the authority, both generally and in particular instances, to waive compliance by a Participant with any obligation to be performed by the Participant under an award, to waive any
condition or provision of an award, and to amend or cancel any award (and if an award is canceled, to grant a new award on such terms as the Board shall specify) except that the Board may not take any action with respect to an outstanding award that
would adversely affect the rights of the Participant under such award without such Participant’s consent. Nothing in the preceding sentence shall be construed as limiting the power of the Board to make adjustments required by Section 5(c)
and Section 7(g). 
 The Board may, in its discretion, delegate some or all of its powers with respect to the Plan to a committee (the
“Committee”), in which event all references in this Plan (as appropriate) to the Board shall be deemed to refer to the Committee. The Committee, if one is appointed, shall consist of at least two directors. A majority of the members of the
Committee shall constitute a quorum, and all determinations of the Committee shall be made by a majority of its members. Any determination of the Committee under the Plan may be made without notice or meeting of the Committee by a writing signed by
a majority of the Committee members. 
  

	4.	EFFECTIVE DATE AND TERM OF THE PLAN 

 The Plan
became effective on the date on which it was initially approved by the stockholders of the Company. Grants of awards under the Plan may be made prior to that date (but contemporaneous with or after Board adoption of the Plan), subject to approval of
the Plan by such stockholders. This amended plan was approved by the board as of March 2, 2000 and by the shareholders as of April 18, 2000, and grants under Section 6.3 may be made subsequent to that date. [This amended plan was
approved by the board as of May , 2008 and by the shareholders as of May , 2008.] 
 No awards shall be granted under the Plan after the
completion of ten years from the date on which the Plan was adopted by the Board, but awards previously granted may extend beyond that date.

	5.	SHARES SUBJECT TO THE PLAN 

 (a) Number of Shares.

  

	 	(1)	Common Stock. Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 5(c), the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that may be delivered upon the exercise of awards granted
under the Plan shall be Fifteen Million, Forty-Seven Thousand, Four Hundred Fifty-Two (15,047,452). If any award of incentive options or of unrestricted or Restricted Common Stock granted under the Plan terminates without having been exercised in
full, the number of shares of Common Stock as to which such award was not exercised shall be available for future grants within the limits set forth in this Section 5(a). 

  

	 	(2)	Preferred Stock. Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 5(c), the aggregate number of shares of Preferred Stock that may be delivered in satisfaction of awards
granted under the Plan shall be Zero (0). If any award of a Preferred Stock Purchase Opportunity granted under the Plan terminates without having vested or having been exercised in full, the number of shares of Preferred Stock as to which such award
had not vested or was not exercised shall be available for future grants within the limits set forth in this Section 5(a). 

 (b) Shares to be Delivered. Shares of any class of stock delivered under the Plan shall be authorized but unissued stock or, if the Board so decides in its sole discretion, previously issued stock acquired by the Company and held in
its treasury. No fractional shares of any class of stock shall be delivered under the Plan. 
 (c) Changes in Capital Stock. In the
event of a stock dividend, stock split or combination of shares, recapitalization or other change in the Company’s capital stock after the effective date of the Plan, the number and kind of shares of any class of stock subject to or underlying
awards then outstanding or subsequently granted under the Plan, the exercise price of such awards, the maximum number of shares of any class of stock that may be delivered under the Plan, and other relevant provisions, shall be appropriately
adjusted by the Board, whose determination shall be binding on all persons. 
 The Board may also adjust the number and kind of shares
subject to or underlying outstanding awards and the exercise price and the terms of outstanding awards to take into consideration material changes in law or in accounting practices or principles, extraordinary dividends, consolidations or mergers
(except those described in Section 7(g)), acquisitions or dispositions of Common Stock or property or any other event if it is determined by the Board that such adjustment is appropriate to avoid distortion in the operation of the Plan, having
due regard for the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder (“Section 409A”), as applicable, provided that no such adjustment shall be made in 

  

 -3- 

 
the case of an incentive option, without the consent of the Participant, if it would constitute a modification, extension or renewal of the option within the
meaning of section 424(h) of the Code. 
  

	6.	TYPES OF AWARDS 

  

	 	6.1	OPTIONS 

 (a) Nature of Options. An option is
an award entitling the recipient on exercise thereof to purchase Common Stock at a specified exercise price. 
 Options granted pursuant to
the Plan may be incentive stock options as defined in section 422 of the Code (any option that is intended to qualify as an incentive stock option being referred to herein as an “incentive option”), or options that are not incentive
options, or both. Options granted pursuant to the Plan shall be presumed to be non-incentive options unless expressly designated as incentive options by the Board at the time of grant. Incentive options shall be granted only to “employees”
as defined in the provisions of the Code or regulations thereunder applicable to incentive stock options. 
 (b) Exercise Price of
Options. The exercise price of each option shall be determined by the Board but in the case of an incentive option shall not be less than 100% (110%, in the case of an incentive option granted to a ten-percent shareholder) of the fair market
value of the Common Stock subject to the option at the time the option is granted; nor shall the exercise price be less, in the case of an original issue of authorized Common Stock, than par value per share of the Common Stock. For this purpose,
“fair market value” in the case of incentive options shall have the same meaning as it does in the provisions of the Code and the regulations thereunder applicable to incentive options; and “ten-percent shareholder” shall mean
any Participant who at the time of grant owns directly, or by reason of the attribution rules set forth in section 424(d) of the Code is deemed to own, stock possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the
Company or of any of its parent or subsidiary corporations. 
 (c) Duration of Options. Options shall be exercisable during such
period or periods as the Board may specify. The latest date on which an option may be exercised (the “Final Exercise Date”) shall be the date that is ten years (five years, in the case of an incentive option granted to a “ten-percent
shareholder” as defined in (b) above) from the date the option was granted or such earlier date as the Board may specify at the time the option is granted. 
  

 -4- 

 (d) Exercise of Options. 
  

	 	(1)	Options shall become exercisable at such time or times and upon such conditions as the Board shall specify. In the case of an option not immediately exercisable in full, the Board
may at any time accelerate the time at which all or any part of the option may be exercised. 

  

	 	(2)	Options may be exercised only in writing. Written notice of exercise must be signed by the proper person and furnished to the Company, together with (i) such documents as the
Board may require and (ii) payment in full as specified below in Section 6.1(e) for the number of shares for which the option is exercised. 

 (e) Payment for and Delivery of Common Stock. Common Stock purchased upon exercise of an option under the Plan shall be paid for as follows: 
  

	 	(1)	in cash or by personal check, certified check, bank draft or money order payable to the order of the Company; or 

  

	 	(2)	if so permitted by the Board (which, in the case of an incentive option, shall specify the method of payment at the time of grant), (i) through the delivery of shares of Common
Stock (which, in the case of Common Stock acquired from the Company, shall have been held for at least six months prior to delivery or, in the case of options other than incentive options, such shorter period, if any, as the Board may determine)
having a fair market value on the last business day preceding the date of exercise equal to the purchase price, or (ii) to the extent permissible under applicable law, by delivery of a promissory note of the Participant to the Company, such
note to be payable on such terms as are specified by the Board, or (iii) by delivery of an unconditional and irrevocable undertaking by a broker to deliver promptly to the Company sufficient funds to pay the exercise price, or (iv) by any
combination of the permissible forms of payment; provided, that if the Common Stock delivered upon exercise of the option is an original issue of authorized Common Stock, at least so much of the exercise price as represents the par value of
such Common Stock must be paid other than by a personal check or promissory note of the person exercising the option. 

  

	 	6.2	RESTRICTED AND UNRESTRICTED STOCK 

 (a) Nature of
Restricted Stock Award. A Restricted Stock award entitles the recipient to acquire, for a purchase price to be specified by the Board but in no event less than par value, shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock subject to the restrictions
described in paragraph (d) below (generically, “Restricted Stock,” and in particular “Restricted Common Stock” or “Restricted Preferred Stock,” as appropriate). 
  

 -5- 

 (b) Acceptance of Award. A Participant who is granted a Restricted Stock award will have no rights
with respect to such award unless the Participant accepts the award by written instrument furnished to the Company at its principal office within thirty (30) days after grant, accompanied by payment in full of the specified purchase price, if
any, of the shares covered by the award. Payment may be by certified or bank check or other instrument acceptable to the Board. 
 (c)
Rights as a Stockholder. A Participant who receives Restricted Stock will have all the rights of a stockholder with respect to the stock, including, where applicable, voting and dividend rights, subject to the restrictions described in
paragraph (d) below and any other conditions imposed by the Board at the time of grant. Unless the Board otherwise determines, certificates evidencing shares of Restricted Stock will remain in the possession of the Company until such shares are
free of all restrictions under the Plan. 
 (d) Restrictions. Except as otherwise specifically provided by the Plan, Restricted Stock
may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered or disposed of, and if the Participant ceases to be an employee for any reason, or if there is a termination for any reason of the consulting, service or similar relationship in
respect of which a non-employee Participant was granted an award hereunder, must be offered to the Company for purchase for the amount of cash paid for the Restricted Stock, or forfeited to the Company if no cash was paid. These restrictions will
lapse at such time or times, and on such conditions, as the Board may specify. Upon lapse of such restrictions as to some or all of the shares of Restricted Stock, the Common Stock or Preferred Stock will cease to be Restricted Common Stock or
Restricted Preferred Stock, respectively. The Board may at any time accelerate the time at which the restrictions on all or any part of the shares will lapse. 
 (e) Notice of Election. Any Participant making an election under section 83(b) of the Code with respect to Restricted Stock must provide a copy thereof to the Company within 10 days of the filing of such
election with the Internal Revenue Service. 
 (f) Options Settled with Restricted Common Stock. The Board may, at the time any option
described in this Section 6 is granted, provide that any or all the Common Stock delivered upon exercise of the option will be Restricted Common Stock. 
 (g) Unrestricted Common Stock. The Board may, in its sole discretion, approve the sale to any Participant of shares of Common Stock free of restrictions under the Plan for a price which is not less than the par
value of the Common Stock. 
  

	6.3	PERFORMANCE AWARDS 

 (a) Nature of Award. A
Performance Award under this Plan shall consist of one or more of the following: (i) a payment of cash; (ii) an award of incentive options; and (iii) a Preferred Stock Purchase Opportunity, as described below. 
  

 -6- 

 (b) Eligibility for Awards. 
  

	 	(1)	The Board in its discretion may select certain Participants to be eligible for Performance Awards in such form or forms as the Board shall determine. Such selection shall not limit
the Board’s discretion to determine the eligibility of such Participants for other awards under this Plan. 

  

	 	(2)	The Board shall preestablish specific periodic performance goals for a Participant based on performance criteria for the Company as a whole, the department(s) with which the
Participant is principally affiliated, and for the Participant’s individual performance (together, the “Performance Goals”). 

  

	 	(3)	At a reasonable time before or after the commencement of the period of service to which the Performance Goals relate (the “Performance Period,” generally to be the
calendar year), the Board shall deliver in writing to the Participant a notice detailing (i) the Performance Goals applicable to him or her for the Performance Period, (ii) the form or forms and date of payment of the Performance Award, as
determined by the Board, should the Participant attain the Performance Goals, and (iii) such other information as the Board deems necessary. 

 (c) Payment of Awards. 
  

	 	(1)	Prior to the payment of any Performance Award, the Board shall certify whether the Performance Goals applicable to the Participant have been attained as of the end of the
Performance Period. Such determination shall be final and conclusive. 

  

	 	(2)	On or about the 15th of January of the year following the close of each Performance Period (for each Performance Period, the “Payment Date”), the Board shall issue to a
Participant whose Performance Targets for the Performance Period have been attained a cash payment or such other Performance Award as the Board shall have approved in accordance with this Section 6.3. Except as otherwise determined by the
Board, no Participant who is not employed by the Company on or as of the Payment Date for a Performance Period shall receive any Performance Award for such Performance Period. 

 A Participant who has been deemed eligible for a Preferred Stock Purchase Opportunity shall, in the event that his or her Performance Targets for the
Performance Period have been attained, receive on the Payment Date, together with such other Performance Awards to which he or she is entitled, a written communication from the Board giving notice of the terms and conditions of the Preferred Stock
Purchase Opportunity. In accordance with this notice, on or 

  

 -7- 

 
before the 31st of January of that same year, such Participant may elect to purchase a specified number of shares of Restricted Preferred Stock with a value
not to exceed seventy per cent (70%) of the value of the cash payment that such Participant shall have received on that same Payment Date. Unless otherwise determined by the Board, such Restricted Stock shall be available for purchase at a
price per share not less than the price per share paid by investors in the Company’s most recent round of financing. 
 Except as
otherwise provided in this Section 6.3, the delivery, receipt, transferability and other conditions with respect to Performance Awards of incentive options and Restricted Preferred Stock underlying a Preferred Stock Purchase Opportunity shall
be governed in accordance with the provisions of this Plan. 
  

	7.	TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF AWARDS 

 (a) Conditions
on Delivery of Stock. 
  

	 	(1)	The delivery of stock pursuant to the Plan shall occur at the Company’s principal office and shall be subject to compliance with (i) applicable federal and state laws and
regulations, (ii) if the outstanding stock is at the time listed on any stock exchange, the listing requirements of such exchange, and (iii) Company counsel’s approval of all other legal matters in connection with the issuance and
delivery of such stock. If the sale of stock has not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Company may require, as a condition to exercise of the award, such representations or agreements as counsel for the Company may
consider appropriate to avoid violation of such Act and may require that the certificates evidencing such stock bear an appropriate legend restricting transfer. 

  

	 	(2)	If at the time when any award is exercised, the Company is a party to any agreement restricting the transfer of any outstanding shares of its stock, the award may be exercised only
if the shares so acquired are made subject to the transfer restrictions set forth in that agreement (or if more than one such agreement is then in effect, the agreement specified by the Board). 

 In addition, the Participant must agree, for himself or herself and his or her heirs and Legal Representatives, that he or she will enter into any
“lock-up” or similar agreements requested by the Company in connection with a public offering of the shares of the Company’s stock. 
  

 -8- 

	 	(3)	If an award is exercised by the executor or administrator of a deceased Participant, or by the person or persons to whom the award has been transferred by the Participant’s
will or the applicable laws of descent and distribution, the Company shall be under no obligation to deliver stock pursuant to such exercise until the Company is satisfied as to the authority of the person or persons exercising the award.

 (b) Tax Withholding. 
  

	 	(1)	In the case of an option that is not an incentive option, or in the case of awards of stock or cash, the Board shall have the right to either (i) withhold from such award an
amount or (ii) require that the Participant remit to the Company an amount, sufficient in each case to satisfy any federal, state, or local withholding tax requirements prior to the delivery of any shares of stock or cash pursuant to the award.
If permitted by the Board, either at the time of the grant of the award or the time of exercise, the Participant may elect, at such time and in such manner as the Board may prescribe, to satisfy such withholding obligation by (i) delivering to
the Company shares of stock having a fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors) equal to such withholding obligation, or (ii) requesting that the Company withhold from the shares of shares of stock to be delivered upon the
exercise (in the case of an option) a number of shares of stock having a fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors) equal to such withholding obligation. 

 In the case of an incentive option, if the Board determines that under applicable law and regulations the Company could be liable for the withholding of
any federal, state or local tax with respect to the exercise or disposition of the Common Stock received upon exercise, the Board may require as a condition of exercise that the Participant exercising the option agree (i) to pay any withholding
taxes due upon exercise in the same manner as described above for non-incentive options, (ii) to inform the Company promptly of any disposition (within the meaning of section 424(c) of the Code and the regulations thereunder) of Common Stock
received upon exercise, and (iii) to give such security as the Board deems adequate to meet the potential liability of the Company for the withholding of tax upon such a disposition, and to augment such security from time to time in any amount
reasonably deemed necessary by the Board to preserve the adequacy of such security. 
 (c) Rights as Stockholder. A Participant shall
not have the rights of a stockholder with regard to awards under the Plan except as to Common Stock or Preferred Stock actually received by the Participant under the Plan. 
  

 -9- 

 (d) Nontransferability of Awards. Except as the Board may otherwise determine, no award may be
transferred other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and during a Participant’s lifetime an award requiring exercise may be exercised only by the Participant. 
 (e) Death. If a Participant dies, the following will apply: 
  

	 	(1)	Options. Each option held by the Participant immediately prior to death may be exercised, to the extent it was exercisable immediately prior to death, by the
Participant’s executor or administrator or by the person or persons to whom the option is transferred by will or the applicable laws of descent and distribution, at any time within the one-year period (or such longer or shorter period as the
Board may determine) beginning with the date of the Participant’s death but in no event beyond the Final Exercise Date. 

  

	 	(2)	Restricted Stock. Except as otherwise determined by the Board, all Restricted Stock held by the Participant must be transferred to the Company (and, in the event the
certificates representing such Restricted Stock are held by the Company, such Restricted Stock will be automatically transferred). The Company shall issue to the Participant following such transfer a certificate representing the shares of stock as
to which restrictions had lapsed prior to death. 

 (f) Termination of Service Other Than By Death. If a
Participant’s employment with or other service to the Company and its subsidiaries terminates for any reason other than by death, the following will apply: 
  

	 	(1)	Options. All options held by the Participant that are not exercisable at the time of termination shall terminate. Options that are exercisable on the date employment or other
service terminates shall continue to be exercisable for a period of two weeks (or such longer period as the Board may determine, but in no event beyond the Final Exercise Date). After completion of the post-termination exercise period, such options
shall terminate to the extent not previously exercised, expired or terminated. 

  

 -10- 

	 	(2)	Restricted Stock. Except as otherwise determined by the Board, all Restricted Stock held by the Participant must be transferred to the Company (and, in the event the
certificates representing such Restricted Stock are held by the Company, such Restricted Stock will be so transferred without any further action by the Participant). The Company shall issue to the Participant following such transfer a certificate
representing those shares of stock as to which restrictions had lapsed prior to termination of employment. 

 For purposes of this
Section 7(f), employment or other service shall not be considered terminated (i) in the case of sick leave or other bona fide leave of absence approved for purposes of the Plan by the Board, or (ii) in the case of a transfer of
employment between the Company and a subsidiary or between subsidiaries, or to the employment of a corporation (or a parent or subsidiary corporation of such corporation) issuing or assuming an option in a transaction to which section 424(a) of the
Code applies. 
 (g) Mergers, etc. In the event of a consolidation or merger in which the Company is not the surviving corporation or
which results in the acquisition of substantially all the Company’s outstanding capital stock by a single person or entity or by a group of persons and/or entities acting in concert, or in the event of the sale or transfer of substantially all
the Company’s assets, all outstanding awards under this Plan shall thereupon terminate, provided that all outstanding awards under this Plan shall become exercisable immediately prior to consummation of such merger, consolidation or sale of
assets unless, if there is a surviving or acquiring corporation, the Board has arranged, subject to consummation of the merger, consolidation or sale of assets, for the assumption of the awards made under this Plan or the grant to Participants of
replacement awards by that corporation or an affiliate of that corporation, which awards in the case of incentive options shall satisfy the requirements of section 424(a) of the Code. 
 The Board may grant awards under the Plan in substitution for awards held by directors, employees, consultants or advisers of another corporation who
concurrently become directors, employees, consultants or advisers of the Company or a subsidiary of the Company as the result of a merger or consolidation of that corporation with the Company or a subsidiary of the Company, or as the result of the
acquisition by the Company or a subsidiary of the Company of property or stock of that corporation. The Company may direct that substitute awards be granted on such terms and conditions as the Board considers appropriate in the circumstances.

  

	8.	EMPLOYMENT RIGHTS 

 Neither the adoption of the Plan
nor the grant of awards shall confer upon any Participant any right to continue as an employee or director of, or consultant or adviser to, the Company or any parent or subsidiary or affect in any way the right of the Company or parent or subsidiary
to terminate such Participant at any time. Except as specifically provided by the Board in any particular case, the loss of existing or potential profit in awards granted under this Plan shall not constitute an element of damages in the event of
termination of an employment, service or similar relationship of a Participant even if the termination is in violation of an obligation of the Company to the Participant by contract or otherwise. 
  

 -11- 

	9.	SECTION 409A 

 Each award shall contain such terms
as the Board determines, and shall be construed and administered, such that the award either (i) qualifies for an exemption from the requirements of Section 409A, or (ii) satisfies such requirements. 
  

	10.	EFFECT, DISCONTINUANCE, CANCELLATION, AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION 

 Neither adoption of the Plan nor the grant of awards to a Participant shall affect the Company’s right to make awards to such Participant that are not subject to the Plan, to issue to such Participant stock as a
bonus or otherwise, or to adopt other plans or arrangements under which stock may be issued to employees. 
 The Board may at any time
discontinue granting awards under the Plan. With the consent of the Participant, the Board may at any time cancel an existing award in whole or in part and grant another award for such number of shares as the Board specifies. The Board may at any
time or times amend the Plan or any outstanding award for the purpose of satisfying the requirements of section 422 of the Code or of any changes in applicable laws or regulations or for any other purpose that may at the time be permitted by law, or
may at any time terminate the Plan as to further grants of awards, but no such amendment shall adversely affect the rights of any Participant (without the Participant’s consent) under any award previously granted. 
  

	11.	LIMITATION OF LIABILITY 

 Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary in the Plan, neither the Company, nor any Affiliate, nor any person acting on behalf of the Company or any Affiliate, shall be liable to any Participant or to the estate or beneficiary of any Participant or to any other holder of an
award by reason of any acceleration of income, or any additional tax, asserted by reason of the failure of an award to satisfy the requirements of Section 422 or Section 409A or by reason of Section 4999 of the Code; provided, that
nothing in this Section 11 shall limit the ability of the Board or the Company to provide by separate express written agreement with a Participant for a gross-up payment or other payment in connection with any such tax or additional tax.

  

	12.	ESTABLISHMENT OF SUB-PLANS 

 The Board may from time
to time establish one or more sub-plans under the Plan for purposes of satisfying applicable blue sky, securities or tax laws of various jurisdictions. The Board shall establish such sub-plans by adopting supplements to the Plan setting forth such
additional terms and conditions not otherwise inconsistent with the Plan as the Board shall deem necessary or desirable. All supplements adopted by the Board shall be deemed to be part of the 

  

 -12- 

 
Plan, but each supplement shall apply only to Participants within the affected jurisdiction and the Company shall not be required to provide copies of any
supplement to Participants in any jurisdiction that is not affected.

 CALIFORNIA SUPPLEMENT 
 Pursuant to Section 12 of the Plan, this supplement has been adopted for purposes of satisfying the requirements of Section 25102(o) of the
California Corporations Code, to the extent applicable. This supplement may be amended by the Board without the approval of the Company, as necessary or desirable to comply with California law. Any awards granted under the Plan to a Participant who
is a resident of the State of California on the date of grant (a “California Participant”) shall be subject to the following additional limitations, terms and conditions, to the extent applicable: 
 1. Maximum Duration of Awards. No award granted to a California Participant will be for a term in excess of 10 years. 
 2. Minimum Conversion Period Following Termination. Unless the employment of a California Participant holding an otherwise vested Stock Option is
terminated for Cause, in the event of termination of employment of such Participant, he or she shall have the right to exercise the vested Stock Option as follows: (i) for a period of at least six months from the date of termination, if
termination was caused by such Participant’s death or “permanent and total disability” (within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Code) and (ii) for a period of at least 30 days from the date of termination, if
termination was caused other than by such Participant’s death or “permanent and total disability” (within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Code), but in no event later than the latest date on which such Participant could
have exercised such Stock Option in the absence of a termination of employment. 
  

 -14-Form of Indemnification Agreement

 EXHIBIT 10.4 
 INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT 
 This Agreement, made
and entered into this          day of                     , 2008 (“Agreement”), by
and between Salient Surgical Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and
                                        
(“Indemnitee”): 
 WHEREAS, it is reasonable, prudent and necessary for the Company to obligate itself to indemnify, and to advance
expenses on behalf of, its directors and executive officers to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law so that they will serve or continue to serve the Company free from undue concern that they will not be so indemnified; and 
 WHEREAS, Indemnitee is willing to serve the Company as a director and/or executive officer on the condition that he be so indemnified; 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the covenants contained herein, the Company and Indemnitee do hereby covenant and agree as follows:

  

	1.	Services by Indemnitee. Indemnitee agrees to serve as a director and/or executive officer of the Company. Indemnitee may at any time and for any reason resign from such
position (subject to any contractual obligation under any other agreement or any obligation imposed by operation of law). 

  

	2.	Indemnification - General. The Company shall indemnify, and advance Expenses (as hereinafter defined) to, Indemnitee (a) as provided in this Agreement; and (b) to
the fullest extent permitted by applicable law in effect on the date hereof and as amended from time to time. The rights of Indemnitee provided under the preceding sentence shall include, but shall not be limited to, the rights set forth in the
other Sections of this Agreement. 

  

	3.	Proceedings Other Than Proceedings by or in the Right of the Company. Indemnitee shall be entitled to the rights of indemnification provided in this Section 3 if, by
reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate Status (as hereinafter defined), Indemnitee is, or is threatened to be made, a party to or a participant in any threatened, pending or completed Proceeding (as hereinafter defined), other than a Proceeding by or
in the right of the Company. Pursuant to this Section 3, Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all Expenses, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement (including all interest, assessments and other charges paid or payable in
connection with or in respect of such Expenses, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement) actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on behalf of Indemnitee in connection with such Proceeding or any claim, issue or matter
therein, if Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Company and, with respect to any criminal Proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe
Indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful. 

  

	4.	 Proceedings by or in the Right of the Company. Indemnitee shall be entitled to the rights of indemnification provided in this Section 4 if, by reason of
Indemnitee’s Corporate Status, Indemnitee is, or is threatened to be made, a party to or a participant in any threatened, pending or completed Proceeding brought by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its 

  

 1 

	 	 
favor. Pursuant to this Section, Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all Expenses (including all interest, assessments and other charges paid or payable
in connection with or in respect of such Expenses) actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on behalf of Indemnitee in connection with such Proceeding if Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner Indemnitee reasonably believed to be
in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Company; provided, however, that indemnification against such Expenses shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter in such Proceeding as to which Indemnitee shall have been
adjudged to be liable to the Company if, and only to the extent that, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, or the court in which such Proceeding shall have been brought or is pending, shall determine that such indemnification may be made.

  

	5.	Mandatory Indemnification. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, to the extent that Indemnitee is, by reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate Status, a party
to (or a participant in) and is successful, on the merits or otherwise, in defense of any Proceeding, Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on behalf of Indemnitee in connection
therewith. If Indemnitee is not wholly successful in defense of such Proceeding but is successful, on the merits or otherwise, as to one or more but less than all claims, issues or matters in such Proceeding, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee
against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on behalf of Indemnitee in connection with each successfully resolved claim, issue or matter. For purposes of this Section and without limitation, the termination of any claim,
issue or matter in such a Proceeding by dismissal, with or without prejudice, on substantive or procedural grounds, shall be deemed to be a successful result as to such claim, issue or matter. 

  

	6.	Partial Indemnification. If Indemnitee is entitled under any provision of this agreement to indemnification by the Company for some or a portion of the Expenses, judgments,
penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement (including all interest, assessments and other charges paid or payable in connection with or in respect of such Expenses, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement) actually and
reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on behalf of Indemnitee in connection with such Proceeding or any claim, issue or matter therein, but not, however, for the total amount thereof, the Company shall nevertheless indemnify Indemnitee for the
portion to which Indemnitee is entitled. 

  

	7.	Indemnification for Additional Expenses. 

  

	 	a.	The Company shall indemnify Indemnitee against any and all Expenses and, if requested by Indemnitee, shall (within thirty (30) business days of such request) advance such
Expenses to Indemnitee, which are incurred by Indemnitee in connection with any action brought by Indemnitee for (i) indemnification or advance payment of Expenses by the Company under this Agreement or any other agreement or by-law of the
Company now or hereafter in effect; or (ii) recovery under any directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies maintained by the Company, regardless of whether Indemnitee ultimately is determined to be entitled to such
indemnification, advance expense payment or insurance recovery, as the case may be. 

  

	 	b.	Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, to the extent that Indemnitee is, by reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate Status, a witness in any Proceeding to which
Indemnitee is not a party, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee against, and the Company shall advance, all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on behalf of Indemnitee in connection therewith. 

  

 2 

	8.	Advancement of Expenses. The Company shall advance all reasonable Expenses incurred by or on behalf of Indemnitee in connection with any Proceeding within thirty
(30) days after the receipt by the Company of a statement or statements from Indemnitee requesting such advance or advances from time to time, whether prior to or after final disposition of such Proceeding. Such statement or statements shall
reasonably evidence the Expenses incurred by Indemnitee and shall include or be preceded or accompanied by an undertaking by or on behalf of Indemnitee to repay any Expenses advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that Indemnitee is not
entitled to be indemnified against such Expenses. The Company shall not be required to advance Expenses on behalf of Indemnitee for more than one law firm to represent Indemnitee. If Indemnitee is a participant in a Proceeding with any other
person(s) for whom the Company is required to advance Expenses with respect to such Proceeding, the Company shall not be required to advance Expenses for more than one law firm to represent collectively Indemnitee and such other person(s) unless the
representation of Indemnitee and such other person(s) gives rise to a material actual or potential conflict of interest. In the event that it is ultimately determined that the Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified for any Expenses advanced to
Indemnitee, then the Company shall be entitled to be reimbursed, within thirty (30) days of such determination, by Indemnitee (who hereby agrees to reimburse the Company) for all such amounts theretofore paid. 

  

	9.	Procedure for Advancement and for Determination of Entitlement to Indemnification. 

  

	 	a.	To obtain advancement of Expenses under this Agreement, Indemnitee shall submit to the Company a written request for advancement of Expenses, along with a written undertaking by or
on behalf of Indemnitee to repay any Expenses advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified against such Expenses. 

  

	 	b.	To obtain indemnification under this Agreement, Indemnitee shall submit a written request for indemnification, including therein or therewith such documentation and information as
is reasonably available to Indemnitee and is reasonably necessary to determine whether and to what extent Indemnitee is entitled to advancement or indemnification. The Secretary of the Company shall, promptly upon receipt of such a request for
indemnification, advise the Board in writing that Indemnitee has requested indemnification. Upon written request by Indemnitee for indemnification, a determination, if required by applicable law, with respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement thereto
shall be made in the specific case: (i) if a Change in Control (as hereinafter defined) shall have occurred, by Independent Counsel (as hereinafter defined) in a written opinion to the Board of Directors, a copy of which shall be delivered to
Indemnitee; or (ii) if a Change of Control shall not have occurred, (A) by a majority vote of the Disinterested Directors (as hereinafter defined), even though less than a quorum of the Board, or (B) if there are no such Disinterested
Directors or, if such Disinterested Directors so direct, by Independent Counsel in a written opinion to the Board, a copy of which shall be delivered to Indemnitee or (C) if so directed by the Board, by the stockholders of the Company; and, if
it is so determined that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, payment to Indemnitee shall be made within seven (7) days after such determination. 

  

 3 

	 	c.	The Company and Indemnitee shall each cooperate with the person, persons or entity making the determination with respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification,
including providing to such person, persons or entity upon reasonable advance request any documentation or information which is not privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure and which is reasonably available to Indemnitee and reasonably
necessary to such determination. Any costs or expenses (including attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by Indemnitee in so cooperating with the person, persons or entity making such determination shall be borne by the Company
(irrespective of the determination as to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification), and the Company hereby indemnifies and agrees to hold Indemnitee harmless therefrom. 

  

	 	d.	In the event the determination of entitlement to indemnification is to be made by Independent Counsel pursuant to Section 9(b) hereof, the Independent Counsel shall be selected
as provided in this Section 9(d). If a Change of Control shall not have occurred, the Independent Counsel shall be selected by the Board of Directors, and the Company shall give written notice to Indemnitee advising him of the identity of the
Independent Counsel so selected. If a Change of Control shall have occurred, the Independent Counsel shall be selected by Indemnitee (unless Indemnitee shall request that such selection be made by the Board of Directors, in which event the preceding
sentence shall apply), and Indemnitee shall give written notice to the Company advising it of the identity of the Independent Counsel so selected. In either event, Indemnitee or the Company, as the case may be, may, within 10 days after such written
notice of selection shall have been given, deliver to the Company or to Indemnitee, as the case may be, a written objection to such selection; provided, however, that such objection may be asserted only on the ground that the
Independent Counsel so selected does not meet the requirements of “Independent Counsel” as defined in Section 18 of this Agreement, and the objection shall set forth with particularity the factual basis of such assertion. If such
written objection is so made and substantiated, the Independent Counsel so selected may not serve as Independent Counsel unless and until such objection is withdrawn or a court has determined that such objection is without merit.

  

	 	e.	If, within thirty (30) days after submission by Indemnitee of a written request for indemnification pursuant to Section 9(b) hereof, no Independent Counsel shall have been
selected and not objected to, either the Company or Indemnitee may petition the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware for resolution of any objection which shall have been made by the Company or Indemnitee to the other’s selection of
Independent Counsel and/or for the appointment as Independent Counsel of a person selected by the Court or by such other person as the Court shall designate, and the person with respect to whom all objections are so resolved or the person so
appointed shall act as Independent Counsel under Section 9(b) hereof. The Company shall pay any and all reasonable fees and expenses of Independent Counsel incurred by such Independent Counsel in connection with acting pursuant to
Section 9(b) hereof, and the Company shall pay all reasonable fees and expenses incident to the procedures of this Section 9, regardless of the manner in which such Independent Counsel was selected or appointed, and if such Independent
Counsel was selected or appointed by Indemnitee or the Court, shall provide such Independent Counsel with such retainer as may requested by such counsel. Upon the due commencement of any judicial proceeding or arbitration pursuant to
Section 11(a)(iii) of this Agreement, Independent Counsel shall be discharged and relieved of any further responsibility in such capacity (subject to the applicable standards of professional conduct then prevailing). 

 

 4 

	 	f.	Indemnitee shall not compromise or settle any claim or Proceeding, release any claim, or make any admission of fact, law, liability or damages with respect to any losses for which
indemnification is sought hereunder without the prior written consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld (subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including any determination required by this
Section 9 or by applicable law). The Company shall not be liable for any amount paid by Indemnitee in settlement of any Proceeding, unless the Company has consented to such settlement or unreasonably withholds consent to such settlement.

  

	10.	Presumptions and Effect of Certain Proceedings. 

  

	 	a.	In making a determination with respect to entitlement to indemnification or the advancement of expenses hereunder, the person or persons or entity making such determination shall
presume that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification or advancement of expenses under this Agreement if Indemnitee has submitted a request for indemnification or the advancement of expenses in accordance with Section 9(a) or 9(b) of this
Agreement, and the Company shall have the burden of proof to overcome that presumption in connection with the making by any person, persons or entity of any determination contrary to that presumption. Neither the failure of the Company (including
its board of directors or independent legal counsel) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of any action pursuant to this Agreement that indemnification is proper in the circumstances because Indemnitee has met the applicable
standard of conduct, nor an actual determination by the Company (including its board of directors or independent legal counsel) that Indemnitee has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption
that Indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct. 

  

	 	b.	If the person, persons or entity empowered or selected under Section 9 of this Agreement to determine whether Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification shall not have made a
determination within ninety (90) days after receipt by the Company of the request therefor, the requisite determination of entitlement to indemnification shall be deemed to have been made and Indemnitee shall be entitled to such
indemnification, absent (i) a misstatement by Indemnitee of a material fact, or an omission of a material fact necessary to make Indemnitee’s statement not materially misleading, in connection with the request for indemnification, or
(ii) a prohibition of such indemnification under applicable law; provided, however, that the foregoing provisions of this Section 10(b) shall not apply (i) if the determination of entitlement to indemnification is to be
made by the stockholders pursuant to Section 9(b) of this Agreement and if (A) within fifteen (15) days after receipt by the Company of the request for such determination the Board of Directors has resolved to submit such
determination to the stockholders for their consideration at an annual meeting thereof to be held within seventy-five (75) days after such receipt and such determination is made thereat, or (B) a special meeting of stockholders is called
within fifteen (15) days after such receipt for the purpose of making such determination, such meeting is held for such purpose within sixty (60) days after having been so called and such determination is made thereat, or (ii) if the
determination of entitlement to indemnification is to be made by Independent Counsel pursuant to Section 9(b) of this Agreement. 

  

 5 

	 	c.	Reliance as Safe Harbor. For purposes of any determination of good faith, Indemnitee shall be deemed to have acted in good faith if Indemnitee’s action is based on the
records or books of account of the Company or relevant enterprise, including financial statements, or on information supplied to Indemnitee by the officers of the Company or relevant enterprise in the course of their duties, or on the advice of
legal counsel for the Company or relevant enterprise or on information or records given in reports made to the Company or relevant enterprise by an independent certified public accountant or by an appraiser or other expert selected with reasonable
care by the Company or relevant enterprise. The provisions of this Section 9(d) shall not be deemed to be exclusive or to limit in any way the other circumstances in which Indemnitee may be deemed to have met the applicable standard of conduct
set forth in this Agreement. 

  

	 	d.	Actions of Others. The knowledge and/or actions, or failure to act, of any director, officer, agent or employee of the Company or relevant enterprise shall not be imputed to
Indemnitee for purposes of determining the right to indemnification under this Agreement. 

  

	11.	Remedies of Indemnitee. 

  

	 	a.	In the event that (i) a determination is made pursuant to Section 9 of this Agreement that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification under this Agreement,
(ii) advancement of Expenses is not timely made pursuant to Section 8 of this Agreement, (iii) no determination of entitlement to indemnification shall have been made pursuant to Section 9(b) of this Agreement within 90 days
after receipt by the Company of the request for indemnification; or (iv) payment of indemnification is not made within twenty (20) days after a determination has been made that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, Indemnitee shall be
entitled to an adjudication by the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, or any other court of competent jurisdiction, of his entitlement to such indemnification or advancement of Expenses. Alternatively, Indemnitee, at his option, may seek an
award in arbitration to be conducted by a single arbitrator pursuant to the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association. 

  

	 	b.	In the event that a determination shall have been made pursuant to Section 9(b) of this Agreement that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification, any judicial proceeding or
arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 11 shall be conducted in all respects as a de novo trial, or arbitration, on the merits and Indemnitee shall not be prejudiced by reason of that adverse determination. If a Change of Control
shall have occurred, in any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 11, the Company shall have the burden of proving that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification or advancement of Expenses, as the case may
be. 

  

	 	c.	If a determination shall have been made pursuant to Section 9(b) of this Agreement that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, the Company shall be bound by such
determination in any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 11, absent (i) a misstatement by Indemnitee of a material fact, or an omission of a material fact necessary to make Indemnitee’s statement not
materially misleading in connection with the request for indemnification, or (ii) a prohibition of such indemnification under applicable law. 

  

 6 

	 	d.	In the event that Indemnitee, pursuant to this Section 11, seeks a judicial adjudication of or an award in arbitration to enforce his rights under, or to recover damages for
breach of, this Agreement, Indemnitee shall be entitled to recover from the Company, and shall be indemnified by the Company against, any and all expenses (of the types described in the definition of Expenses in Section 18 of this Agreement)
actually and reasonably incurred by him in such judicial adjudication or arbitration, but only if he prevails therein. If it shall be determined in said judicial adjudication or arbitration that Indemnitee is entitled to receive part but not all of
the indemnification or advancement of expenses sought, the expenses incurred by Indemnitee in connection with such judicial adjudication or arbitration shall be appropriately prorated. The Company shall indemnify Indemnitee against any and all
Expenses and, if requested by Indemnitee, shall (within thirty (30) days after receipt by the Company of a written request therefor) advance such expenses to Indemnitee, which are incurred by Indemnitee in connection with any act taken by
Indemnitee in order to obtain any amounts covered under any directors’ or officers’ liability insurance policies maintained by the Company, regardless of whether Indemnitee ultimately is determined to be entitled to such insurance
coverage. 

  

	12.	Non-Exclusivity; Survival of Rights; Insurance; Subrogation. 

  

	 	a.	The rights of indemnification and to receive advancement of Expenses as provided by this Agreement shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which Indemnitee may at any
time be entitled under applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation, the By-Laws, any agreement, a vote of stockholders or a resolution of directors, or otherwise. Indemnitee’s rights under this Agreement are present contractual rights that
shall fully vest upon Indemnitee’s first service as a director or executive officer of the Company. No amendment, alteration or repeal of this Agreement or of any provision hereof shall limit or restrict any right of Indemnitee under this
Agreement in respect of any action taken or omitted by such Indemnitee in Indemnitee’s Corporate Status prior to such amendment, alteration or repeal. To the extent that a change in the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, whether
by statute or judicial decision, permits greater indemnification or advancement of Expenses than would be afforded currently under the Company’s By-Laws and this Agreement, it is the intent of the parties hereto that Indemnitee shall enjoy by
this Agreement the greater benefits so afforded by such change. No right or remedy herein conferred is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every other right and remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to every other right
and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other right or
remedy. 

  

	 	b.	To the extent that the Company maintains an insurance policy or policies providing liability insurance for directors, officers, employees or agents of the Company or of any other
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise which such person serves at the request of the Company, Indemnitee shall be covered by such policy or policies in accordance with its or their terms to the
maximum extent of the coverage available for any director, officer, employee or agent insured under such policy or policies. 

  

 7 

	 	c.	In the event of any payment under this Agreement, the Company shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of Indemnitee, and Indemnitee hereby
agrees, as a condition to obtaining any advancement or indemnification to assign all of Indemnitee’s rights to obtain from any other person or entity any amounts which are paid to or for the benefit of Indemnitee as advancement or
indemnification under this Agreement, and Indemnitee shall (upon request by the Company) execute all papers required and take all action necessary to secure such rights, including execution of such documents as are necessary to enable the Company to
bring suit or enforce such rights. 

  

	 	d.	The Company shall not be liable under this Agreement to make any payment of amounts otherwise indemnifiable hereunder if and to the extent that Indemnitee has otherwise actually
received such payment under any insurance policy, contract, agreement or otherwise. 

  

	 	e.	The Company’s obligation to indemnify or advance expenses hereunder to Indemnitee who is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent
of any other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise shall be reduced by any amount Indemnitee has actually received as indemnification or advancement of expenses from such other corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise. 

  

	13.	Duration of Agreement. 

  

	 	a.	This Agreement shall continue until and terminate upon the later of: (i) 10 years after the date that Indemnitee shall have ceased to serve as a director and/or executive
officer of the Company (or of any other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise which Indemnitee served at the request of the Company); or (ii) the final termination of any Proceeding then
pending in respect of which Indemnitee is granted rights of indemnification or advancement of expenses hereunder and of any proceeding commenced by Indemnitee pursuant to Section 11 of this Agreement relating thereto. 

 

	 	b.	This Agreement shall not be deemed an employment contract between the Company (or any of its subsidiaries) and Indemnitee. Indemnitee specifically acknowledges that with respect to
Indemnitee’s service as an executive officer, such Indemnitee’s employment with the Company (or any of its subsidiaries), if any, is at will, and Indemnitee may be discharged at any time for any reason, with or without cause, except as may
be otherwise provided in any written contracts between Indemnitee and the Company (or any of its subsidiaries), other applicable formal severance policies duly adopted by the Board or by the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, By-laws, and
the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. Indemnitee specifically acknowledges that with respect to Indemnitee’s service as a director, such Indemnitee may be discharged from service at any time for any reason, with or without
cause, except as may be otherwise provided by the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, By-laws and the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. The foregoing notwithstanding, this Agreement shall continue in force as provided above
after Indemnitee has ceased to serve as a director and/or executive officer of the Company. 

  

 8 

	 	c.	This Agreement shall be binding upon the Company and its successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of Indemnitee and his heirs, executors and administrators.

  

	14.	Severability. If any provision or provisions of this Agreement shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever: (a) the validity,
legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement (including without limitation, each portion of any Section of this Agreement containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that is not itself
invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby; (b) such provision or provisions shall be deemed reformed to the extent necessary to conform to applicable law and to give the maximum effect to the intent
of the parties hereto; and (c) to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, each portion of any Section of this Agreement containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable, that is not itself invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall be construed so as to give effect to the intent manifested thereby. 

  

	15.	Exception to Right of Indemnification or Advancement of Expenses. Except as provided in Section 7(a) of this Agreement, Indemnitee shall not be entitled to
indemnification or advancement of Expenses under this Agreement with respect to any Proceeding brought by Indemnitee (other than a Proceeding by Indemnitee to enforce his rights under this Agreement), or any claim therein, unless the bringing of
such Proceeding or making of such claim shall have been approved by the Board of Directors. 

  

	16.	Identical Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall for all purposes be deemed to be an original but all of which together
shall constitute one and the same Agreement. Only one such counterpart signed by the party against whom enforceability is sought needs to be produced to evidence the existence of this Agreement. 

  

	17.	Headings. The headings of the paragraphs of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not be deemed to constitute part of this Agreement or to affect the
construction thereof.

has been, retained to represent: (i) the Company or Indemnitee in any matter material to either such party, or (ii) any other party to the Proceeding giving rise to a claim for indemnification hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
term “Independent Counsel” shall not include any person who, under the applicable standards of professional conduct then prevailing, would have a conflict of interest in representing either the Company or Indemnitee in an action to
determine Indemnitee’s rights under this Agreement. The Company agrees to pay the reasonable fees of the Independent Counsel referred to above and to fully indemnify such counsel against any and all Expenses, claims, liabilities and damages
arising out of or relating to this Agreement or its engagement pursuant hereto. 

  

	 	g.	“Proceeding” includes any threatened, pending or completed action, suit, arbitration, alternate dispute resolution mechanism, investigation, inquiry, administrative
hearing or any other actual, threatened or completed proceeding, whether brought by or in the right of the Company or otherwise and whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, in which Indemnitee was, is, may be or will be involved as
a party or otherwise, by reason of the fact that Indemnitee is or was a director or executive officer of the Company, by reason of any action taken by him or of any inaction on his part while acting as director or executive officer of the Company,
or by reason of the fact that he is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise; in each case whether or not he is acting or
serving in any such capacity at the time any liability or expense is incurred for which indemnification or advancement of expenses can be provided under this Agreement; except one (i) initiated by an Indemnitee pursuant to Section 11 of
this Agreement to enforce his right under this Agreement or (ii) pending on or before the Effective Date.

	19.	Enforcement. 

  

	 	a.	The Company expressly confirms and agrees that it has entered into this Agreement and assumed the obligations imposed on it hereby in order to induce Indemnitee to serve as a
director and/or executive officer of the Company, and the Company acknowledges that Indemnitee is relying upon this Agreement in serving as a director and/or executive officer of the Company. 

  

	 	b.	This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, oral,
written and implied, between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof. 

  

	20.	Modification and Waiver. No supplement, modification or amendment of this Agreement shall be binding unless executed in writing by both of the parties hereto. No waiver of
any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed or shall constitute a waiver of any other provisions hereof (whether or not similar) nor shall such waiver constitute a continuing waiver. 

  

	21.	Notice by Indemnitee. Indemnitee agrees promptly to notify the Company in writing upon being served with any summons, citation, subpoena, complaint, indictment, information
or other document relating to any Proceeding or matter which may be subject to indemnification or advancement of Expenses covered hereunder. The failure of Indemnitee to so notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of any obligation which it
may have to Indemnitee under this Agreement or otherwise. 

  

	22.	Notices. All notices, requests, demands or other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if (i) delivered by hand and
receipted for by the party to whom said notice or other communication shall have been direct, or (ii) mailed by certified or registered mail with postage prepaid, on the third business day after the date on which it is so mailed:

  

	 	a.	If to Indemnitee to: 

 [INDEMNITEE’S NAME]

 [ADDRESS] 
  

	 	b.	If to the Company to: 

 Salient Surgical Technologies,
Inc. 
 One Washington Center 
 Suite 400 
 Dover, NH 03820 
 Attn: Chief Financial Officer 
 or to such other address as may have been furnished to Indemnitee by the Company or to the Company
by Indemnitee, as the case may be. 
  

 12 

	23.	Contribution. To the fullest extent permissible under applicable law, if the indemnification provided for in this Agreement is unavailable to Indemnitee for any reason
whatsoever, the Company, in lieu of indemnifying Indemnitee, shall contribute to the amount incurred by Indemnitee, whether for judgments, fines, penalties, excise taxes, amounts paid or to be paid in settlement and/or for Expenses, in connection
with any claim relating to an indemnifiable event under this Agreement, in such proportion as is deemed fair and reasonable in light of all of the circumstances of such Proceeding in order to reflect (i) the relative benefits received by the
Company and Indemnitee as a result of the event(s) and/or transaction(s) giving cause to such Proceeding; and/or (ii) the relative fault of the Company (and its directors, officers, employees and agents) and Indemnitee in connection with such
event(s) and/or transaction(s). 

  

	24.	Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction; Appointment of Agent for Service of Process. This Agreement and the legal relations among the parties shall be governed by, and
construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict of laws rules. Except with respect to any arbitration commenced by Indemnitee pursuant to Section 11(a) of this Agreement, the Company
and Indemnitee hereby irrevocably and unconditionally (i) agree that any action or proceeding arising out of or in connection with this Agreement shall be brought only in the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware (the “Delaware
Court”), and not in any other state or federal court in the United States of America or any court in any other country, (ii) consent to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Delaware Court for purposes of any action or proceeding
arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, (iii) appoint, to the extent such party is not a resident of the State of Delaware, irrevocably the Corporation Trust Center, 1209 Orange Street, City of Wilmington, County of New Castle,
Delaware, as its agent in the State of Delaware for acceptance of legal process in connection with any such action or proceeding against such party with the same legal force and validity as if served upon such party personally within the State of
Delaware, (iv) waive any objection to the laying of venue of any such action or proceeding in the Delaware Court, and (v) waive, and agree not to plead or to make, any claim that any such action or proceeding brought in the Delaware Court
has been brought in an improper or otherwise inconvenient forum. 

  

	25.	Miscellaneous. Use of the masculine pronoun shall be deemed to include usage of the feminine pronoun where appropriate.
