 Exhibit 10.2 
 STERIS CORPORATION 
 NONQUALIFIED STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT 
 This Agreement is between STERIS Corporation (“STERIS”) and [Optionee’s Name] (“Optionee”), with respect to the grant of a Nonqualified
Stock Option by STERIS to Optionee pursuant to the STERIS Corporation 2006 Long-Term Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). (Capitalized terms used in this Agreement and not otherwise defined have the meanings assigned to them in the Plan.)

 1. Grant of Option. STERIS hereby grants to Optionee, as of
                , 20     an option (the “Option”) to purchase all or any number of an aggregate of [Number of Shares
Granted] STERIS Common Shares, at an exercise price of $             per share, upon and subject to the terms of this Agreement and the Plan. 
 2. Documents Delivered with Agreement. STERIS has delivered to Optionee, along with two copies of this Agreement, the following documents: (a) a copy of
STERIS’s Policy Prohibiting the Improper Use of Material Non-Public Information (the “Policy”); (b) a copy of the Plan and its related Prospectus; (c) two execution copies of a Nondisclosure and Noncompetition Agreement to
be entered into between STERIS and Optionee (the “Nondisclosure Agreement”); (d) two copies of an acknowledgment form (the “Acknowledgment Form”); and (e) a copy of STERIS’s most recent integrated Annual Report to
Shareholders and Form 10-K (the “Annual Report”). By executing this Agreement, Optionee acknowledges receipt of these documents. 
 3. Terms and
Conditions of Option. The Option is a Nonqualified Option and shall not be treated as an Incentive Stock Option. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Option shall be subject to all of the terms and conditions of the Plan. As a
condition to the effectiveness of the Option, Optionee must return to STERIS signed copies of (a) this Agreement and (b) the Nondisclosure Agreement, and (c) the Acknowledgment Form. If Optionee violates the terms of the Policy, the
Plan, or this Agreement, the Nondisclosure Agreement, or any agreement with similar terms previously entered into (collectively “Prior Agreements”), any and all options to purchase Common Shares that were granted by STERIS to Optionee
(including the Option granted by this Agreement or any Prior Agreements) shall be forfeited, void, and of no further force and effect. 
 4. Term of
Option. Unless earlier terminated pursuant to Section 11 of the Plan, the Option shall terminate at the close of business on, and shall not be exercisable at any time after,
            , 20     [10 years after Date of Grant]. 
 5. Vesting. So long as Optionee remains in the employ of STERIS, but subject to the terms of this Agreement and the Plan (including Section 11 thereof, the rules of which shall apply to this Agreement), the Option shall vest and
first become exercisable in equal increments (excluding any fractional shares) as follows: 
 [TO BE PROVIDED] 
 6. Exercise of Vested Option. Except as otherwise provided in Section 11 of the Plan, the rules of which shall apply to this Agreement, the Option shall
be exercisable only while Optionee is in the employ of STERIS. To the extent exercisable under the Agreement, the Option may be exercised from time to time in whole or in part. 

 7. Method of Exercise. A request to exercise the Option requires delivery of (a) the Option Price
payable in cash or by check acceptable to the Company or by wire transfer of immediately available funds, or by such other methods as may be approved by the Board or the Chief Executive Officer or his delegatee or delegatees, as applicable and
(b) a written notice to STERIS identifying this Agreement and specifying the number of Common Shares as to which the Option is being exercised. Subject to the terms of the Plan and this Agreement, STERIS shall deliver to Optionee
certificates representing the Option shares as soon as administratively feasible following such exercise. 
 8. Certain Determinations. Application,
violation, or other interpretation of the terms of this Agreement, the Plan, the Policy, any Prior Agreement, or any STERIS policy shall be determined by the Board or the Chief Executive Officer or his delegatee or delegatees, if applicable, in its
sole discretion, and its determination shall be final and binding on Optionee and STERIS. 
 9. Termination of the Plan; No Right to Future Grants; No
Right of Employment; Extraordinary Item of Compensation. By entering into this Agreement, Optionee acknowledges: (a) that the Plan is discretionary in nature and may be suspended or terminated by STERIS at any time; (b) that each grant
of an Option is a one-time benefit which does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of Options, or benefits in lieu of Options; (c) that all determinations with respect to any such future grants, including, but not
limited to, the times when the Option shall be granted, the number of shares subject to each Option, the Option Price, and the time or times when each Option shall be exercisable, will be at the sole discretion of STERIS; (d) that
Optionee’s participation in the Plan shall not create a right to further employment with Optionee’s employer and shall not interfere with the ability of Optionee’s employer to terminate Optionee’s employment relationship at any
time with or without cause; (e) that Optionee’s participation in the Plan is voluntary; (f) that the value of the Options is an extraordinary item of compensation which is outside the scope of Optionee’s employment contract, if
any; (g) that the Option is not part of normal and expected compensation for purposes of any other employee benefit plan or program of STERIS, including for purposes of calculating any severance, resignation, redundancy, end of service, bonus,
long-service, pension or retirement benefits or similar payments; (h) that the right to purchase stock ceases upon termination of employment for any reason except as may otherwise be explicitly provided in the Plan or this Agreement;
(i) that the future value of the shares is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty; (j) that, where Optionee’s employer is a Subsidiary or affiliate of STERIS, the Option has been granted to Optionee in Optionee’s status
as an employee of such Subsidiary or affiliate, and can in no event be understood or interpreted to mean that STERIS is Optionee’s employer or that Optionee has an employment relationship with STERIS; and (k) that if the underlying shares
do not increase in value, the Option will have no value. 
 10. Employee Data Privacy. By entering into the Agreement, and as a condition of the grant
of the Option, Optionee consents to the collection, use and transfer of personal data as described in this Section 10. Optionee understands that STERIS and its Subsidiaries hold certain personal information about Optionee, including, but not
limited to, Optionee’s name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number, salary, nationality, job title, any shares of stock or directorships held in STERIS, details of all Options or other entitlement to shares
of stock awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in Optionee’s favor, for the purpose of managing and administering the Plan (“Data”). Optionee further understands that STERIS and/or its Subsidiaries will
transfer Data among themselves as necessary for the purposes of implementation, administration and management of the Optionee’s participation in the Plan, and that STERIS and/or its Subsidiaries may each further transfer Data to any third
parties assisting STERIS in the implementation, administration and management of the Plan (“Data Recipients”). Optionee understands that these Data Recipients may be located in Optionee’s country of residence, the European Economic
Area, and in countries outside the 
  

 2 

 European Economic Area, including the United States. Optionee authorizes the Data Recipients to receive, possess, use,
retain and transfer Data in electronic or other form, for the purposes of implementing, administering and managing the Plan, including any transfer of such Data, as may be necessary or appropriate for the administration of the Plan and/or the
subsequent holding of shares of stock on Optionee’s behalf, to a broker or third party with whom the shares acquired on exercise may be deposited. Optionee understands that he or she may, at any time, review the Data, require any necessary
amendments to it or withdraw the consent herein by notifying STERIS in writing. Optionee further understands that withdrawing consent may affect Optionee’s ability to participate in the Plan, at the sole discretion of the Board or the Chief
Executive Officer or his delegatee or delegatees, if applicable. 
 11. Relation to Plan. This Agreement is subject to the terms and conditions
of the Plan. In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of this Agreement and the Plan, the Plan shall govern. All terms used herein with initial capital letters and not otherwise defined herein that are defined in the Plan shall have
the meanings assigned to them in the Plan. 
 12. Amendments. Any amendment to the Plan shall be deemed to be an amendment to this Agreement to the
extent that the amendment is applicable hereto; provided, however, that no amendment shall adversely affect the rights of Optionee under this Agreement without Optionee’s consent. 
 13. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the application of any provision hereof to any person or circumstances is held invalid or unenforceable,
the remainder of this Agreement and the application of such provision to any other person or circumstances shall not be affected, and the provisions so held to be invalid or unenforceable shall be reformed to the extent (and only to the extent)
necessary to make it enforceable and valid. 
 14. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the
internal substantive laws of the State of Ohio, without giving effect to any principle of law that would result in the application of the law of any other jurisdiction. 
 15. Miscellaneous. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be understood as conferring on Optionee any right to continue as an employee of STERIS or any Subsidiary or affiliate. STERIS reserves the right
to correct any clerical, typographical, or other error in this Agreement or otherwise with respect to this grant. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon its parties and their respective heirs, executors, administrators,
successors, and assigns, but the Option shall not be transferable by Optionee other than as provided in Section 17 of the Plan.

 4STERIS Corporation Form of Restricted Stock Agreement for Employees

 Exhibit 10.3 
 STERIS CORPORATION 
 RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT 
 WHEREAS,
                                        
     (the “Grantee”) is an employee of STERIS Corporation, an Ohio corporation (“STERIS”), or a Subsidiary; and 
 NOW, THEREFORE, pursuant to the STERIS Corporation 2006 Long-Term Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), STERIS, as of
                                     (the “Date of
Grant”), hereby grants to the Grantee                              shares of Restricted Stock (as
defined in the Plan) (the “Restricted Shares”), effective as of the Date of Grant, subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and the following additional terms, conditions, limitations and restrictions. 
  

	1.	Issuance of Restricted Shares. The Restricted Shares covered by this Agreement shall be issued to the Grantee effective upon the Date of Grant. The Common Shares subject to
this grant of Restricted Shares shall be registered in the Grantee’s name and shall be fully paid and nonassessable. Any certificate or other evidence of ownership shall bear an appropriate legend referring to the restrictions hereinafter set
forth. 

  

	2.	Documents Delivered with Agreement. STERIS has delivered to the Grantee, along with two copies of this Agreement, the following documents: (a) a copy of STERIS’s
Policy Prohibiting the Improper Use of Material Non-Public Information (the “Policy”); (b) a copy of the Plan and its related Prospectus; (c) two execution copies of a Nondisclosure and Noncompetition Agreement to be entered into
between STERIS and Grantee (the “Nondisclosure Agreement”); (d) two copies of an acknowledgement form (the “Acknowledgement Form”); and (d) a copy of STERIS’s most recent integrated Annual Report to Shareholders
and Form 10-K (the “Annual Report”). By executing this Agreement, the Grantee acknowledges receipt of these documents. 

  

	3.	Restrictions on Transfer of Shares. The Common Shares subject to this grant of Restricted Shares may not be sold, exchanged, assigned, transferred, pledged, encumbered or
otherwise disposed of by the Grantee, except to STERIS, unless the Restricted Shares are nonforfeitable as provided in Section 4 hereof; provided, however, that the Grantee’s rights with respect to such Common Shares may be
transferred by will or pursuant to the laws of descent and distribution. Any purported transfer or encumbrance in violation of the provisions of this Section 3 shall be void, and the other party to any such purported transaction shall not
obtain any rights to or interest in such Common Shares. The Company in its sole discretion, when and as permitted by the Plan, may waive the restrictions on transferability with respect to all or a portion of the Common Shares subject to this grant
of Restricted Shares. 

  

	4.	Vesting of Restricted Shares. Subject to the terms of this Agreement and the Plan (including Section 11 thereof, the rules of which shall apply to this Agreement), all
of the Restricted Shares covered by this Agreement shall become nonforfeitable on the [                    ] anniversary of the Date of Grant
if the Grantee shall have remained in the continuous employ of STERIS or a Subsidiary during that period. 

  

	5.	Forfeiture of Shares. Subject to the terms of this Agreement and the Plan (including Section 11 thereof, the rules of which shall apply to this Agreement), the
Restricted 

	  	Shares shall be forfeited if the Grantee ceases to be employed by STERIS or a Subsidiary prior to
[            ] years from the Date of Grant. In the event of a forfeiture, the certificate(s) representing the Restricted Shares covered by this Agreement shall be cancelled.

  

	6.	Dividend, Voting and Other Rights. Except as otherwise provided herein, from and after the Date of Grant, the Grantee shall have all of the rights of a shareholder with
respect to the Restricted Shares covered by this Agreement, including the right to vote such Restricted Shares and receive any dividends that may be paid thereon; provided, however, that any additional Common Shares or other securities
that the Grantee may become entitled to receive pursuant to a stock dividend, issuance of rights or warrants, stock split, combination of shares, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, separation, or reorganization or any other change in the
capital structure of STERIS shall be subject to the same restrictions as the Restricted Shares covered by this Agreement. 

  

	7.	Retention of Stock Certificate(s) by STERIS. Certificates representing the Common Shares subject to this grant of Restricted Shares, if any, will be held in custody by STERIS
together with a stock power endorsed in blank by the Grantee with respect thereto, until those shares have become nonforfeitable in accordance with Section 4. 

  

	8.	Compliance with Law. STERIS shall make reasonable efforts to comply with all applicable federal and state securities laws; provided, however, notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement, STERIS shall not be obligated to issue any Common Shares pursuant to this Agreement if the issuance thereof would result in a violation of any such law. 

  

	9.	Continuous Employment. For purposes of this Agreement, the continuous employment of the Grantee with STERIS or a Subsidiary shall not be deemed to have been interrupted, and
the Grantee shall not be deemed to have ceased to be an employee of STERIS or Subsidiary, by reason of (i) the transfer of his or her employment among STERIS and its Subsidiaries or (ii) a leave of absence approved by the Board or the
Committee. 

  

	10.	Certain Determinations. Application, violation, or other interpretation of the terms of this Agreement, the Plan, the Nondisclosure Agreement, the Policy, any
Prior Agreement, or any STERIS policy shall be determined by the Board or the Chief Executive Officer or his delegatee or delegatees, if applicable, in its sole discretion, and its determination shall be final and binding on the Grantee and STERIS.

  

	11.	Termination of the Plan; No Right to Future Grants; No Right of Employment; Extraordinary Item of Compensation. By entering into this Agreement, the Grantee acknowledges:
(a) that the Plan is discretionary in nature and may be suspended or terminated by STERIS at any time; (b) that each grant of Restricted Shares is a one-time benefit which does not create any contractual or other right to receive future
grants of Restricted Shares, or benefits in lieu of Restricted Shares; (c) that all determinations with respect to any such future grants, including, but not limited to, the times when the Restricted Shares shall be granted, the number of
shares subject to each grant of Restricted Shares, and the time or times when the Restricted Shares shall become nonforfeitable, will be at the sole discretion of STERIS; (d) that the Grantee’s participation in the Plan shall not create a
right to further employment with the Grantee’s employer and shall not interfere with the ability of the Grantee’s employer to terminate the Grantee’s employment relationship at any time with or without cause; (e) that the
Grantee’s participation in the Plan is voluntary; (f) that the value of the Restricted Shares 

  

 2 

	    	is an extraordinary item of compensation which is outside the scope of the Grantee’s employment contract, if any; (g) that the Restricted Shares are not part of normal and
expected compensation for purposes of any other employee benefit plan or program of STERIS, including for purposes of calculating any severance, resignation, redundancy, end of service, bonus, long-service, pension or retirement benefits or similar
payments; (h) that the right to earn a nonforfeitable right to the Restricted Shares ceases upon termination of employment for any reason except as may otherwise be explicitly provided in the Plan or this Agreement; (i) that the future
value of the shares is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty; and (j) that, where the Grantee’s employer is a Subsidiary or affiliate of STERIS, the Restricted Shares have been granted to the Grantee in the Grantee’s status
as an employee of such Subsidiary or affiliate, and can in no event be understood or interpreted to mean that STERIS is the Grantee’s employer or that the Grantee has an employment relationship with STERIS. 

  

	12.	Employee Data Privacy. By entering into the Agreement, and as a condition of this award of Restricted Shares, the Grantee consents to the collection, use and transfer of
personal data as described in this Section 12. The Grantee understands that STERIS and its Subsidiaries hold certain personal information about the Grantee, including, but not limited to, the Grantee’s name, home address and telephone
number, date of birth, social insurance number, salary, nationality, job title, any shares of stock or directorships held in STERIS, details of all Restricted Shares or other entitlement to shares of stock awarded, canceled, exercised, vested,
unvested or outstanding in the Grantee’s favor, for the purpose of managing and administering the Plan (“Data”). The Grantee further understands that STERIS and/or its Subsidiaries will transfer Data among themselves as necessary for
the purposes of implementation, administration and management of the Grantee’s participation in the Plan, and that STERIS and/or its Subsidiaries may each further transfer Data to any third parties assisting STERIS in the implementation,
administration and management of the Plan (“Data Recipients”). The Grantee understands that these Data Recipients may be located in the Grantee’s country of residence, the European Economic Area, and in countries outside the European
Economic Area, including the United States. The Grantee authorizes the Data Recipients to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer Data in electronic or other form, for the purposes of implementing, administering and managing the Plan, including
any transfer of such Data, as may be necessary or appropriate for the administration of the Plan and/or the subsequent holding of shares of stock on the Grantee’s behalf, to a broker or third party with whom the shares acquired on exercise may
be deposited. The Grantee understands that he or she may, at any time, review the Data, require any necessary amendments to it or withdraw the consent herein by notifying STERIS in writing. The Grantee further understands that withdrawing consent
may affect the Grantee’s ability to participate in the Plan, at the sole discretion of the Board or the Chief Executive Officer or its delegatee or delegatees. 

  

	13.	Relation to Plan. This Agreement is subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan. In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of this Agreement and the Plan,
the Plan shall govern. All terms used herein with initial capital letters and not otherwise defined herein that are defined in the Plan shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Plan. 

  

	14.	Amendments. Any amendment to the Plan shall be deemed to be an amendment to this Agreement to the extent that the amendment is applicable hereto; provided,
however, that no amendment shall adversely affect the rights of the Grantee under this Agreement without the Grantee’s consent. 

  

 3 

	15.	Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the application of any provision hereof to any person or circumstances is held invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of
this Agreement and the application of such provision to any other person or circumstances shall not be affected, and the provisions so held to be invalid or unenforceable shall be reformed to the extent (and only to the extent) necessary to make it
enforceable and valid. 

  

	16.	Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal substantive laws of the State of Ohio, without giving effect to any principle
of law that would result in the application of the law of any other jurisdiction. 

  

	17.	Miscellaneous. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be understood as conferring on Grantee any right to continue as an employee of STERIS or any Subsidiary or
affiliate. STERIS reserves the right to correct any clerical, typographical, or other error in this Agreement or otherwise with respect to this grant. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon its parties and their
