Exhibit 10.8

SUMMARY OF NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

Cash Compensation
Effective January 1, 2015, directors of Kadant Inc. (the “company”) who are not employees are paid the following fees for serving on our board of directors:
		
	•
	An annual retainer of $50,000, payable in equal monthly installments.

		
	•
	An additional annual retainer for our non-executive chairman of the board of $60,000, payable in equal monthly installments. Prior to 2015, the non-executive chairman of the board received an annual retainer of $50,000.

		
	•
	An additional annual retainer for chairmen of the following committees: audit committee - $10,000 (increased from $8,000); compensation committee - $7,500 (increased from $4,000); nominating and corporate governance committee - $5,000 (increased from $2,500); and risk oversight committee - $5,000.

		
	•
	Reimbursement of out-of pocket expenses incurred in attending or participating in meetings of our board of directors or its committees.

We do not provide any meeting fees to our directors for their board service. All annual retainers are paid in equal monthly installments.
Restricted Stock Units
Each of our non-employee directors also receives an annual award of 5,000 stock-settled restricted stock units (“RSUs”), distributable in shares of common stock upon vesting.  The RSUs vest in installments of 1,250 shares each on the last day of each of the company’s fiscal quarters during the year. 
Prior to 2015, each of our non-employee directors also received an award of 10,000 stock-settled RSUs that vests only in the event that a change-in-control of our company occurs prior to the last day of the first quarter of 2015. Each of our non-employee directors has received a new five-year award of 10,000 cash-settled RSUs that vests and is distributable in cash only in the event that a change-in-control of our company occurs during the period beginning on the first day of the second quarter of fiscal 2015 and prior to the last day of the first quarter of 2020. Each cash-settled RSU is the economic equivalent of one share of common stock. 
All awards are made under our company’s stockholder-approved equity incentive plans. The vesting of all awards accelerates in the event of a change in control of our company. Any awards, to the extent not previously vested, are forfeited if the recipient is no longer a member of our board of directors on the vesting dates for any reason other than a change-in-control of the company. The terms and conditions governing these awards are stated in the form of restricted stock unit award agreement for non-employee directors filed as exhibits to the company’s annual report on Form 10-K.
Stock Ownership Guidelines
Under our stock ownership guidelines adopted in March 2011, our directors are required to hold shares of our company’s common stock equivalent in value to three times their annual cash retainer. Compliance with the guidelines is measured annually following the close of the fiscal year, and directors have five years from the later of adoption of our stock ownership guidelines or their appointment as a director to attain compliance.Exhibit 4.3

The Company desires to establish and provide

when authorized by or pursuant to a Board Resolution, and the Trustee, at any time and from time to time, may enter into one or

The Company has requested that the Original
Trustee enter into this Second Supplemental Indenture in connection with (i) the foregoing amendments, and (ii) the Company’s

the Holders of the Notes.

 

The Company has duly authorized the execution

of the premises and for other good and valuable consideration expressed herein, it is mutually agreed, for the equal and proportionate
benefit of all Holders of the Notes, as follows:

 

ARTICLE I

 

TERMS OF THE NOTES

 

Section 1.01. The following terms
relating to the Notes are hereby established:

 

(a)The Notes shall constitute a series
of Securities having the title “6.750% Senior Notes due 2025.” The Notes shall bear a CUSIP number of 041356502 and
an ISIN number of US0413565021.

 

(b)The aggregate principal amount of
the Notes that may be initially authenticated and delivered under the Indenture (except for Notes authenticated and delivered upon
registration of, transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of, other Notes pursuant to Sections 304, 305, 306, 906, 1107 or 1305
of the Base Indenture, and except for any Securities that, pursuant to Section 303 of the Base Indenture, are deemed never to have
been authenticated and delivered under the Indenture) shall be $35,300,000. Under a Board Resolution or supplemental indenture
to the Base Indenture, the Company may, without the consent of the Holders of Notes, issue additional Notes (in any such case “Additional
Notes”) in an unlimited amount in one or more issuances from time to time, having the same ranking and the same interest
rate, maturity and other terms and conditions as the Notes, except for issue date and, if applicable, the issue price, the initial
interest payment date and the initial interest accrual date applicable thereto, either of which may differ from the respective
terms of the previously issued Notes. Any Additional Notes and the existing Notes will constitute, and otherwise be treated as,
a single series under the Indenture. All references to Notes herein shall include the Additional Notes unless the context otherwise
requires. If Additional Notes are not fungible with any preexisting Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as applicable,
as determined by the Company, such Additional Notes may have a separate CUSIP number from any preexisting Notes.

 

(c)The Company Order for the authentication
and delivery of the Notes initially authenticated and delivered under the Indenture may set forth procedures acceptable to the
Trustee for the issuance of Additional Notes and determining the terms of particular Notes, such as date of issuance and date from
which interest shall accrue.

(d)The entire outstanding principal
of the Notes shall be payable on March 15, 2025.

 

(e)The rate at which the Notes shall
bear interest shall be 6.750% per annum (the “Applicable Interest Rate”). The date from which interest shall accrue
on the Notes shall be March 18, 2015, or the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or provided for;

Payment Date, and the subsequent interest periods will be the periods from and including an Interest Payment Date to, but excluding,
the next Interest Payment Date or the Stated Maturity, as the case may be; the interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly
provided for, on any Interest Payment Date, will be paid to the Person in whose name the Note (or one or more Predecessor Securities)

provided, however, that at the option of the Company payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the address of the Person
entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register. Interest on the Notes will be computed on the basis of
a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.

in global form (each such Note, a “Global Note”). The Global Notes and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication
thereon shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A to this Second Supplemental Indenture. Each Global Note shall represent
the outstanding Notes as shall be specified therein and each shall provide that it shall represent the aggregate amount of outstanding
Notes from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby may from time to
time be reduced or increased, as appropriate, to reflect exchanges and redemptions. Any endorsement of a Global Note to reflect
the amount of any increase or decrease in the amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby shall be made by the Trustee or the
Security Registrar, in accordance with Sections 203 and 305 of the Base Indenture.

 

(h)The depositary for such Global Notes
(the “Depositary”) shall be The Depository Trust Company, New York, New York. The initial Security Registrar and Paying
Agent with respect to the Global Notes shall be the Trustee.

 

(i)The Notes shall be defeasible pursuant
to Section 1402 or Section 1403 of the Base Indenture.

to redeem only a portion of the Notes, the Trustee will determine the method for selecting the particular Notes to be redeemed
in accordance with Section 1103 of the Base Indenture; provided that in the case of Global Notes, beneficial interests therein
will be selected for redemption by the Depositary in accordance with its standard procedures therefor.

 

(v)Unless the Company defaults
in payment of the Redemption Price, on and after the Redemption Date, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes called for redemption
hereunder.

 

(k)The Notes shall not be subject to
any sinking fund pursuant to Section 1201 of the Base Indenture.

6.750% Senior Note due
2025

 

This Security is one of a duly authorized
issue of senior debt securities of the Company (the “Securities”), issued and to be issued in one or more series under
an Indenture, dated as of May 1, 2013, as amended by the First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of May 1, 2013 (as so amended,
the “Base Indenture”), between the Company and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee (the “Original
Trustee”, which term includes any successor to the Original Trustee under the Base Indenture), and as further amended by
the Second Supplemental Indenture relating to the Securities of this series, dated as of March 18, 2015, by and among the Company,
the Original Trustee and The Bank of New York Mellon, as Series Trustee (the “Trustee”, which term includes any successor
Trustee under the Indenture (as defined below)) (the “Second Supplemental Indenture”; the Second Supplemental Indenture
and the Base Indenture collectively are herein called the “Indenture”).and reference is hereby made to the Indenture
for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee ,
and the Holders of the Securities and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. In
the event of any conflict between the Base Indenture and the Second Supplemental Indenture, the Second Supplemental Indenture shall
govern and control.

 

This Security is one of the series designated
on the face hereof, initially limited in aggregate principal amount to $35,300,000. Under a Board Resolution or supplemental indenture
to the Base Indenture, the Company may, without the consent of the Holders of Securities, issue additional Securities of this series
(herein called in any such case “Additional Securities”) in an unlimited amount in one or more issuances from time
to time having the same ranking and the same interest rate, maturity and other terms and conditions as the Securities, except for
issue date and, if applicable, the issue price and the initial interest payment date and the initial interest accrued date applicable
thereto, either of which may differ from the respective terms of the previously issued Securities. Any Additional Securities and
the existing Securities of this series will constitute a single series under the Indenture and all references to the relevant Securities
herein shall include the Additional Securities unless the context otherwise requires. The aggregate amount of outstanding Securities
represented hereby may from time to time be reduced or increased, as appropriate, to reflect exchanges and redemptions.

 

The Securities of this series are subject
to redemption in whole or in part at any time or from time to time, at the option of the Company, on or after March 15, 2018, at
a redemption price equal to 100% of the outstanding principal amount of the Securities of this series to be redeemed plus accrued
and unpaid interest to the date of redemption.

 

Notice of redemption shall be given in writing
and mailed, first-class postage prepaid or by overnight courier guaranteeing next-day delivery or transmitted, to each Holder of
the Securities of this series to be redeemed, not less than thirty (30) nor more than sixty (60) days prior to the Redemption Date,
at the Holder’s address appearing in the Security Register. All notices of redemption shall contain the information set forth
in Section 1104 of the Base Indenture.

 

    	4

    	 

    

 

Any exercise of the Company’s option
to redeem the Securities of this series will be done in compliance with the Indenture.

 

If the Company elects to redeem only a portion
of the Securities of this series, the Trustee will determine the method for selecting the particular Securities of this series
to be redeemed, in accordance with the Indenture. In the event of redemption of this Security in part only, a new Security or Securities
of this series and of like tenor for the unredeemed portion hereof will be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the cancellation
hereof.

 

Unless the Company defaults in payment of
the Redemption Price, on and after the Redemption Date, interest will cease to accrue on the Securities of this series called for
redemption.

 

Holders of Securities of this series do
not have the option to have such Securities repaid prior to March 15, 2025.

 

The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance
at any time of the entire indebtedness of this Security or certain restrictive covenants and Events of Default with respect to
this Security, in each case upon compliance with certain conditions set forth in the Indenture.

 

If an Event of Default with respect to Securities
of this series shall occur and be continuing, the principal of the Securities of this series may be declared due and payable in
the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.

 

The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions
as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of
the Holders of the Securities of each series to be affected under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with
the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of each series
to be affected. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in principal amount of the
Securities of each series at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive compliance
by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any
such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders
of this Security and of any Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof,
whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security.

 

As provided in and subject to the provisions
of the Indenture, the Holder of this Security shall not have the right to institute any proceeding with respect to the Indenture
or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee or for any other remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall have previously given
the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Securities of this series, the Holders of not less
than 25% in principal amount of the Securities of this series at the time Outstanding shall have made written request to the Trustee
to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default as Trustee and offered the Trustee reasonable indemnity against the
costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request, and the Trustee shall not have received from the
Holders of a majority in principal amount of Securities of this series at the time Outstanding a direction inconsistent with such
request, and shall have failed to institute any such proceeding, for sixty (60) days after receipt of such notice, request and
offer of indemnity. The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this Security for the enforcement of
any payment of principal hereof or interest hereon on or after the respective due dates expressed or provided for herein.

 

    	5

    	 

    

 

No reference herein to the Indenture and
no provision of this Security or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional,
to pay the principal of and interest on this Security at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.

 

As provided in the Indenture and subject
to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Security is registrable in the Security Register, upon surrender
of this Security for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in any place where the principal of and any
premium and interest on this Security are payable, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form
satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing,
and thereupon one or more new Securities of this series and of like tenor, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate
principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

 

The Securities of this series are issuable
only in registered form without coupons in denominations of $25.00 and any integral multiples of $25.00 in excess thereof. As provided
in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Securities of this series are exchangeable for a like aggregate
principal amount of Securities of this series and of like tenor of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder
surrendering the same.

 

No service charge shall be made for any
such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company or Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax
or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

 

Prior to due presentment of this Security
for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose
name this Security is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Security be overdue, and neither the
Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

 

All terms used in this Security which are
defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

 

The Indenture and this Security shall be
governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without regard to conflicts of laws principles
thereof (except for Sections 5-1401 and 5-1402 of the New York General Obligations Law).
