Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires our officers and directors and persons who own greater than 10% of a registered class of our equity securities to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC and the NASDAQ Global Select Market (NASDAQ). Based solely on a review of the forms we have received and on written representations from certain reporting persons that no such forms were required for them, we believe that all Section 16 filing requirements applicable to our officers, directors and 10% beneficial owners were complied with on a timely basis during our fiscal year ended June 30, 2009 (fiscal 2009), except that Mr. Chefitz filed a Form 4 one day late to report an exercise of stock options under his 10b5-1 plan, Mr. Nash filed a Form 4 one day late to report a sale of Common Stock under his 10b5-1 trading plan and Mr. Bobb filed a Form 4 three days late to report a purchase of Common Stock.

Code of Conduct

The Board adopted the Kensey Nash Corporation Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, articulating standards of business and professional ethics, applicable to all of our directors, officers and employees. This Code also functions as our code of ethics under Section 406 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, applicable to our principal executive officer and principal financial officer. The full text of our Code of Conduct is available in full text on our website at www.kenseynash.com in the “Corporate Governance” section.

Stockholder Nominations of Directors

During fiscal 2009, the Board amended and restated its bylaws in the form of the Third Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company (the Current Bylaws), to among other things, change the procedure by which stockholders of the Company may recommend nominees to the Board. Under the Current Bylaws, Stockholders who wish to nominate candidates are required to write to our Secretary. In accordance with the Current Bylaws, such nominations must be received by our Secretary not less than 90 days nor more than 120 days prior to first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual stockholder meeting; provided, however, that if the annual meeting date is advanced more than 30 days prior to, or delayed by more than 60 days after, the anniversary of the prior year’s annual meeting, or if no annual meeting of stockholders was held in the previous year, our Secretary must receive any stockholder nominations by the later of (1) 10 days after we have “publicly disclosed” the date of the annual meeting and (2) 90 days prior to the date of the annual meeting. In the event the number of directors to be elected to the Board is increased and there is no public announcement naming all of the nominees or specifying the size of the increased Board made by the Company at least 100 days prior to the anniversary of the prior year’s annual meeting, a stockholder’s nomination will be timely, but only with respect to nominees for any new positions created by the increase, if the notice is delivered not later than the tenth day following the date the public announcement is first made. Previously, nominations were generally required to be delivered to our Secretary not less than 60 days nor more than 90 days prior to an annual stockholder meeting.

In addition to other requirements included in the Current Bylaws, nominations must specify the name of the nominee and the qualifications of such nominee for membership on the Board, disclose any agreements of the nominee regarding how the nominee will act or vote on any issue, and any agreements with respect to direct or indirect compensation, reimbursement or indemnification for serving as a director, along with the written consent of the nominee to being named in the proxy statement as a nominee and to serving as a director if elected. In connection with any stockholder nomination, as set forth in the Current Bylaws, the nominating stockholder must also provide additional information as to the stockholder giving notice, and, if applicable, each nominee proposed by the stockholder, including the business proposed to be brought at the annual meeting and any material interest therein, information regarding beneficial ownership of securities of the Company, and whether the stockholder intends to deliver to the Company’s stockholders a proxy statement and form of proxy in connection with any proposed business.

Audit Committee

The Audit Committee consists of Robert J. Bobb (Chairman), Steven J. Lee and Harold N. Chefitz. After reviewing the qualifications of the current members of the Audit Committee, and any relationships they may have with the Company that might affect their independence from the Company, the Board determined that (1) all current members of the Audit Committee are “independent” as that concept is defined in Section 10A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, (2) all current members of the Audit Committee are “independent” as that concept is defined in the NASDAQ listing standards, (3) all current members of the Audit Committee are financially literate, and (4) each current member qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined under applicable SEC rules.

ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Introduction

Overview

This Compensation Discussion and Analysis (CD&A) explains the Company’s executive compensation program for our Chief Executive Officer, each person who served as our Principal Financial Officer during fiscal 2009, including our current and former Chief Financial Officer and our Director of Finance, and each of our three most highly compensated executive officers other than the CEO and each person who served as our Principal Financial Officer, as of the end of fiscal 2009. It describes our compensation philosophy, how the Compensation Committee of our Board (the “Compensation Committee” or “Committee”) establishes executive compensation for the NEOs, the objectives of the various compensation programs and how performance metrics are selected and evaluated for the various components of our compensation programs.

As used in this CD&A and elsewhere herein, the following terms have the following meanings:

• Our “CEO” is our Chief Executive Officer;

• Our “COO” is our Chief Operating Officer;

• Our “CFO” is our Chief Financial Officer;

• The “Named Executive Officers” or “NEOs” consist of the following executive officers:

• Joseph W. Kaufmann, CEO

• Douglas G. Evans, P.E., COO

• Michael Celano, CFO

• Wendy F. DiCicco, Former Chief Financial Officer

• Ryan D. Lake, Director of Finance, Former Interim Principal Financial and Accounting Officer

• Todd M. DeWitt, Vice President of Biomaterials

• Russell T. Kronengold, Ph.D., Vice President of Biomaterials Research

Role of the Compensation Committee

Our Compensation Committee, which consists of three independent members of the Board and all of whom are independent directors in accordance with the applicable independence requirements of the NASDAQ Marketplace Rules (NASDAQ independence requirements), maintains the primary responsibility and authority for determining our compensation philosophy and for reviewing and making all compensation decisions relating to our NEOs. The Compensation Committee may form and delegate the authority to one or more subcommittees

6

as it deems appropriate under circumstances set forth in the Compensation Committee charter. The Compensation Committee considers various factors in exercising its discretion to determine compensation, including the individual responsibilities and performance of each executive, the executives’ effectiveness in supporting the Company’s short-term and long-term goals, and the pay levels of similarly situated executives within our Company, as well as our Company’s overall financial performance. The Compensation Committee is solely responsible for reviewing and approving our CEO’s strategic individual objectives and total compensation.

During the annual review process, which takes place after the end of each fiscal year, the Compensation Committee considers the following information:

• Input from the CEO regarding the performance of the NEOs, other than the CEO, and input from the COO regarding the performance of the NEOs, other than the CEO and the COO, with respect to the achievement of corporate and/or individual performance targets;

• Compensation practices, including the amounts and nature of compensation paid to executive officers of similarly sized companies that comprise the Company’s peer group (see the discussion in the section titled “Peer Group Benchmarking” below);

• The proportionate mix and trend of compensation related to base salary, cash bonus compensation and long-term equity-based award incentives for comparable positions within the peer group; and

• The job responsibilities of the executive positions included in the peer group survey.

On an annual basis, the Committee reviews the effectiveness and competitiveness of the compensation program in the context of our compensation philosophy and program objectives (as explained in the section titled “Objectives of Our Compensation Philosophy” below). Annually, the CEO presents his annual reviews of our NEOs, other than his own, to the Committee. After consideration of all of the information above, the Committee approves the salary increases, cash bonuses and equity-based awards for each NEO. The information is evaluated and these compensation decisions are approved at the first Compensation Committee meeting following the end of the Company’s fiscal year, which, for fiscal 2009, was the Committee meeting held on September 22, 2009.

Objectives of Our Compensation Philosophy

The philosophy of the Compensation Committee is to provide competitive levels of total compensation to attract and retain talented and qualified executives who are critical to our long-term success. The compensation program is designed to motivate our executives and to align the financial interests of executives and stockholders through equity-based plans. Compensation is comprised of base salary, adjusted annually, as deemed necessary by the Compensation Committee, based on both compensation for similar executive positions and our executives’ individual performance and experience; cash bonus payments based upon the achievement of short-term annual corporate financial (based on total revenues and earnings per share) and strategic goals; and long-term equity-based awards incentives, which provide long-term incentives based on the same annual corporate financial and strategic goals. The Compensation Committee focuses on approving a balanced compensation package by combining components that emphasize both long-term strategic value for stockholders and shorter-term strategic and operational goals.

We believe that the compensation of our executives should reward their success in achieving key operating objectives such as, growth of total revenue and earnings per share. Our compensation philosophy is further designed to reward the execution of strategic non-financial goals that will provide both short-term and long-term growth for the Company, as well as other subjective factors determined and applied by the Committee and with input from our CEO and COO (as discussed below). In addition to the achievement of specific objectives within each NEO’s area of responsibility, it is expected that each executive must demonstrate exceptional personal performance and contribute as a member of the executive management team to the Company’s overall success. The Committee believes that a significant portion of the executive’s total compensation should be variable or “at-risk”.

7

The Committee approves the mix of “at-risk” and “not-at-risk” compensation elements based on the philosophy that each NEO’s compensation should be influenced significantly by the executive officer’s roles and responsibilities, performance (which is measured by both financial and non-financial performance) and the executive officer’s overall level of experience, as well as other subjective factors determined and applied by the Committee and management and ultimately approved by the Committee. The Committee approves challenging annual financial and operating goals, which are based on the Board-approved internal operating plan set at the time the annual budget process is approved by the Board, as well as individual strategic non-financial goals that are established by the CEO and COO and reviewed, modified if deemed appropriate, and approved by the Compensation Committee.

The Compensation Committee believes that it has instituted an executive compensation program which:

• Aligns our executives’ interests to be consistent with stockholders’ interests;

• Attracts and retains talented management;

• Provides short-term and long-term incentives;

• Focuses performance on achievement of the Company’s financial and strategic goals;

• Combines and weights elements of compensation and benefits appropriately in relationship to each NEO’s responsibilities and impact on the overall success of the Company, and for our CEO, COO and CFO, relative to similar executive officers of the Company’s peer group; and

• Weights elements of compensation and benefits appropriately in relationship to each other element with considering “at risk” elements.

Role of Executive Officers in the Compensation Process

Our CEO provides significant input on the compensation of our COO and CFO, including the individual’s performance rating, annual merit adjustments, cash bonuses and equity-based awards. Our CEO and COO provide significant input on the compensation of our Vice President of Biomaterials and Vice President of Biomaterials Research, including the individual’s performance rating, annual merit adjustments, cash bonuses and equity-based awards. Our CEO annually reviews the individual performance of each of the other NEOs and provides the Compensation Committee with (1) evaluations of each NEO, including an evaluation of each NEO’s personal performance against his or her individual performance objectives and contributions as a member of the executive management team, and (2) recommendations regarding any increase in each NEO’s base salary level (other than his own), as well as the NEO’s performance rating for purposes of calculating his or her cash bonus payment and the amount of any long-term equity-based award. Each of the other NEOs’ strategic individual performance goals, other than our CEO, are set based upon the recommendation of the CEO and COO and the approval of the goals by the Compensation Committee and vary depending upon each NEO’s roles and responsibilities.

Our CEO attends Compensation Committee meetings, as a non-voting participant, to provide the Committee with information regarding our NEOs’ and the Company’s financial and strategic performance. Our CEO is not in attendance during discussions and deliberations of individual compensation actions affecting him personally and during the Compensation Committee’s executive sessions. The Compensation Committee considers the CEO’s recommendations with respect to executive compensation and the Committee provides its input in an independent session. The Compensation Committee alone, however, makes the final decisions with respect to the compensation of our NEOs.

Compensation Consultants

We have not historically used compensation consultants in determining our NEO’s compensation and did not utilize any consultants related to the compensation of our NEOs for fiscal 2009.

Peer Group Benchmarking

In establishing our total direct compensation levels for our NEOs, compensation practices and total direct compensation are reviewed annually for comparable executive positions within our peer group. Our peer group has historically included, and currently includes, only publicly traded companies within the medical device industry, specifically cardiovascular or orthopaedics, and with similar financial metrics, which include, but are not limited to annual total revenue in a range of $36 million to $550 million, and market capitalization in a range of $70 million to $1.5 billion and with similarities to the Company in terms of financial profile, development stage, product focus, growth potential and revenue projections. Our CEO and the Compensation Committee evaluate the members of our peer group annually, and request additions or deletions of any member of our peer group as they deem appropriate. On an annual basis, the Compensation Committee approves the fiscal year’s peer group.

Our Human Resources Department compiles data from our peer group, by using Equilar Inc.’s Equilar Insight Research Database, to research compensation trends and analyses for purposes of recommending salary, target cash bonuses and equity compensation awards. This data provides useful comparisons that are used by the CEO and Compensation Committee as a guide when establishing compensation packages for our CEO, COO and CFO. The Committee reviews compensation practices at peer companies to help ensure the Company’s total compensation for our CEO, COO and CFO is within a reasonably competitive range, which generally means that the Compensation Committee targets total compensation levels, as well as individual compensation components, for our CEO, COO and CFO at somewhere around the 50^th percentile of that paid by peer group members to similarly situated executives. However, the Compensation Committee does not adjust compensation to be at these targets each year. Furthermore, we continue to exercise our judgment and discretion with respect to our determination, as to the appropriate compensation levels of each of our NEOs, as we believe that over-reliance on the benchmarking of peer groups can result in compensation that is unrelated to the value delivered by our NEOs, which actual value substantiates any discretionary bonuses determined by the Committee based on the individual’s performance review. The Compensation Committee generally does not directly compare any of the specific compensation elements, or the total compensation levels, for our other NEOs with those of executives at its peer group companies, as such comparisons are much more difficult given the unique job responsibilities and roles with our company of these other NEOs.

For the fiscal 2009 analysis, the companies comprising our peer group were:

Anika Therapeutics, Inc Cryolife, Inc. EV3, Inc. Exactech, Inc. Greatbatch, Inc. Micrus Endovascular Corporation Orthovita, Inc. Osteotech, Inc. The Spectranetics Corporation Stereotaxis, Inc. Surmodics, Inc. Synovis Life Technologies, Inc. Vascular Solutions, Inc.

For fiscal 2009, the following changes were made to our peer group:

Deletion

Vital Signs, Inc

The deletion of Vital Signs, Inc. from our fiscal 2009 peer group was due to the fact that it had been acquired by GE Healthcare and is no longer publicly traded.

Elements and Mix of Total Compensation and Benefits

There are three key compensation elements of our executive compensation program and they are collectively referred to as total compensation, which the Compensation Committee assesses and approves on an annual basis:

• Base salary,

• Cash bonus, and

• Long-term equity-based award incentives in the form of non-qualified stock options, restricted stock awards and other forms of equity-based awards.

The Committee assesses these elements individually for each NEO, as well as each NEO’s total compensation package, to create a unique compensation mix for each NEO, which is also consistent with our compensation philosophy, as described above in the section titled “Objectives of Our Compensation Philosophy.”

The table below summarizes the three key compensation elements of the Company’s executive compensation program, a description of each of the key elements, and the objectives they are designed to achieve.

Compensation Element	Description	Objective
•        Base salary	•        Annual fixed cash compensation, adjusted as deemed necessary by the Committee. •        Minimum amounts specified under terms of employment agreements.	•        Attraction and retention. •        Recognize differences in overall responsibility, experience and market value of the positions, as well as individual performance over the long-term.
•        Cash bonus	•        Variable pay tied to the achievement of key Company financial and operating objectives. Fiscal 2009 and fiscal 2010 primary measures are: •        Total Revenue; and •        Earnings per share, as adjusted, as necessary. •        Actual payouts are dependent on the percentage of the goals achieved with a minimum of 80% achievement required for any payout. •        Significant charges or events that are deemed to be out of the control of the executives by the Compensation Committee may be taken into consideration when the achievement percentage is determined. •        Payout at target is determined by the NEO’s contractually determined cash	•        Ensure organization is working together to achieve key financial and operating goals. •        Drive high levels of performance by ensuring that executives’ total cash compensation is linked to achievement of financial and operating goals.

10

Compensation Element	Description	Objective
	bonus eligibility or an amount determined by the Compensation Committee. •        Payout may be zero if threshold targets are not achieved. •        The Compensation Committee may reduce payouts at its discretion based on individual performance.
•        Equity-based awards	•        Senior executives typically receive non-qualified stock options (NQSOs) and/or restricted stock awards (RSAs) at the discretion of the Compensation Committee. Often times the type of equity-based awards to be granted is dependent on, amongst such other factors, the number of awards available for future grants and limits for any particular equity-based awards established within the Kensey Nash Corporation Employee Incentive Compensation Plan (as amended, the Employee Plan). •        All equity-based awards are granted at fair market value on the grant date (discounted awards are prohibited). •        The number of awards granted is based upon the achievement of annual corporate financial goals and strategic individual goals.	•        Align long-term compensation with stockholders. •        Opportunities for significant wealth accumulation by executives are tightly linked to stockholder returns. •        Company performance linked to executive long-term payout. •        Personal strategic goal achievement and performance tied to long-term payout.

Benefit Element	Description	Objective
•        401(k) Plan	•        The Company maintains a 401(k) defined contribution plan. •        The Company matches 50% of all employees first 6% of contributions.	•        Provide competitive retirement benefits.
•        Health and other benefits	•        Executives are eligible for a variety of benefits, including: •        Medical, dental and vision plans; and •        Life and disability insurance plans.	•        Provide competitive benefits. •        Ensure a competitive overall rewards package.

The three compensation elements that comprise each NEO’s total compensation are then weighted based on factors, which include, but are not limited to, the portion of compensation that is “at-risk” and “not-at-risk”, as well as, short-term and long-term in nature. The weighting of the compensation elements differ for each NEO

11

due to the their responsibilities, experience and individual performance in our Company. The fiscal 2009 approved compensation element arrangements for each NEO, and the weighted percentage of each element, have stayed relatively consistent for the CEO, COO, and CFO, when compared with our fiscal 2008 and fiscal 2007 compensation programs. The total compensation for each of the other NEOs was weighted relatively similar for each Vice President.

Each compensation element of each of our NEOs is weighted based on the role of the NEO, as well as its relation to the other two key compensation elements. Each NEO’s cash compensation element is based on the “at-risk” portion of the NEO’s weighted corporate financial and strategic individual goals. These goals are established such that it will be challenging for the respective NEOs to achieve them. The long-term equity award component for each NEO is weighted dependent on the role of the NEO, as well as its relation to the other two key compensation elements.

Mr. Kaufmann, as our CEO, is responsible for leading strategic business decisions, including mergers and acquisitions of technologies or companies which are best aligned with our Company’s, Board’s and stockholders’ interests. Our CEO is held highly responsible for our Company’s achievement of annual corporate financial goals, in addition to the achievement of his individual strategic goals, which are aligned with these corporate goals. The CEO’s strategic goals include individual and team objectives relating to such matters as, growing the Company’s biomaterials business by pre-defined measures established by the Compensation Committee, evaluating strategic opportunities for enhancing stockholder value, sustaining strong financial performance, profitability and growth, such as achievement of 100% of the Company’s Board-approved internal operating plan and sustaining high levels of meaningful investor communications. The approved goals of the CEO are considered challenging to achieve and primarily weighted on achieving financial metrics. Therefore, the Compensation Committee believes that a significant portion of the CEO’s total compensation is weighted on the “at-risk” compensation elements of cash bonuses and long-term equity awards. In addition, because of these responsibilities of our CEO with respect to our overall company strategy and performance, we set the total compensation and the individual compensation elements for our CEO at a level significantly higher than those of our other NEOs.

Mr. Evans, as our COO, is responsible for managing all aspects of operations, which includes manufacturing, quality control and assurance, product development, as well as overseeing biomaterials research, legal affairs, including intellectual property and business development and information technology. Similar to Mr. Kaufmann, Mr. Evans is also responsible for growing the Company’s biomaterials business by pre-defined measures established by the Compensation Committee, evaluating strategic opportunities for enhancing stockholder value, sustaining strong financial performance, profitability and growth, such as achievement of 100% of the Company’s Board-approved internal operating plan and sustaining high levels of meaningful investor communications. Mr. Evans is involved in all of the Company’s key strategic business decisions, including mergers and acquisitions of technologies or companies. In addition, Mr. Evans is a member of our Board. The “at-risk” compensation elements of the COO are weighted on achievement of corporate financial targets, as well as detailed strategic individual goals, which are considered appropriate for his role and considered challenging to achieve. The strategic goals of our COO typically include individual and team objectives relating to improvement of the quality, value and competitiveness of our Company’s products and business strategies. Therefore, the Compensation Committee believes that a significant portion of the COO’s total compensation is weighted on the “at-risk” compensation elements of cash bonuses and long-term equity awards, yet weighted differently than the CEO and the CFO. In addition, because of these responsibilities of our COO with respect to our overall company strategy and performance, we set the total compensation and the individual compensation elements for our COO at a level significantly higher than those of our other NEOs, other than our CEO.

Mr. Celano, as our CFO, is responsible for managing all aspects of the finance function of our Company. Similar to the CEO and COO, Mr. Celano is also responsible for sustaining strong financials, such as achievement of 100% of the Company’s internal operating plan (approved by the Board) and sustaining high levels of meaningful investor communications. The “at-risk” compensation elements of the CFO are weighted on achievement of corporate financial targets, as well as detailed strategic individual goals, which are considered appropriate for his role and considered challenging to achieve. The fiscal 2009 strategic goals of the CFO

12

included individual and team objectives relating to the Company’s financial operations including compliance issues, financial and cost accounting analysis and management, cash management and cost savings. Therefore, the Compensation Committee believes that a significant portion of the CFO’s total compensation is weighted on the “at-risk” compensation elements of cash bonuses and long-term equity awards, yet weighted differently than the CEO and the COO, due to their unique roles within the Company.

Mr. DeWitt and Dr. Kronengold, as our Vice Presidents, have similar strategic goals which are set by the CEO and COO, which include specific financials goals, such as biomaterials sales, growing the Company’s biomaterials business both with existing customers and seeking new customers, successfully conducting clinical trials, assisting in the regulatory compliance process for new and existing products and developing prototypes of new products. The “at-risk” compensation elements of each of the Vice Presidents are weighted on achievement of corporate financial targets, but more heavily weighted on detailed strategic individual goals, which are considered appropriate for their role and are considered challenging to achieve. Mr. DeWitt’s strategic individual goals and team objectives for fiscal 2009 focused on biomaterials sales, launching new products, assisting in receiving regulatory approvals, initiating studies and developing prototypes for new products, as well as assisting in the production of current products. Dr. Kronengold’s strategic individual goals and team objectives for fiscal 2009 focused on biomaterials sales goals, managing all aspects of our cartilage repair and extra-cellular matrix (ECM) technology programs, assisting in the regulatory process for new technologies and launching new products.

Fiscal 2009 Compensation Decisions

Base Salary.

We determine the salaries of our NEOs based on job responsibilities and individual experience, and we also compare the base salary amounts of our CEO, COO and CFO against comparable compensation for similar positions within our peer group. We do not apply formulas or assign these factors specific mathematical weights; instead we exercise our judgment and discretion with respect to these factors. Our Compensation Committee expects to continue to provide compensation to our executive officers that are competitive with that provided to executives within our peer group (as discussed in “Peer Group Benchmarking” above). Our Compensation Committee reviews the salaries of our executives annually and grants increases in salaries based on individual performance during the prior fiscal year and current market and Company conditions, as appropriate.

In September 2009, the Compensation Committee determined, based on the recommendation of the CEO, that base salaries for Mr. Evans, Mr. DeWitt and Dr. Kronengold would be increased to $294,580, $195,840 and $191,530, respectively, in order to align the salary of each of our NEOs in accordance with their respective responsibilities within the Company. In addition, the Compensation Committee determined the base salary of Mr. Kaufmann would increase to $328,570 from $319,000 in order to set the CEO’s base salary at a level that is generally competitive with that of other CEOs of the peer group, as well as at an appropriate level relative to each of our NEOs in accordance with their respective responsibilities within our Company. The fiscal 2009 increase in base salary for each of Messrs. Kaufmann, Evans, and DeWitt and Dr. Kronengold represents an average 3% increase from their prior year salary, reflecting annual merit adjustments. The Compensation Committee determined that the salary of Mr. Celano would remain at $250,000, as the Compensation Committee believed it continued to be appropriate from his recent hire date of March 2009, as well as considering the base salary and overall total compensation for other CFOs in our peer group.

In connection with the promotion of our Vice President of Biomaterials and Vice President of Biomaterials Research as executive officers, based on our CEO’s recommendation and the Committee’s review of the information provided by our Human Resources Department, the Committee approved the annual base salaries of Mr. DeWitt and Dr. Kronengold.

13

Cash Bonus.

The NEOs are eligible to receive a performance-based cash bonus based on the Company’s achievement of financial and operating performance goals, as well as individual performance of strategic individual goals and team objectives. This cash incentive is calculated for the CEO and the COO as a percentage of base salary. The cash incentive for the CFO, Vice President of Biomaterials and Vice President of Biomaterials Research is based on a fixed dollar value.

Target Bonus Percentage. The employment agreement for each of the current NEOs establishes the target cash bonus opportunity for the NEO, expressed as a percentage of his then current base salary or a fixed dollar amount. The fiscal 2009 target contractual cash bonus opportunities for the CEO and the COO are set at a maximum of 100% of base salary, the CFO’s is set at a maximum of 75% of base salary, and each of the Vice President of Biomaterials’ and the Vice President of Biomaterials Research’s is set at a maximum of 60% of base salary. The annual targets can be set below the maximum percentages, provided for in the respective employment agreements, as determined by the Compensation Committee. The fiscal 2009 target bonus for our current CFO was set at $125,000 but pro-rated to $41,100, for four months of service based on his recent hire date of March 2009. The fiscal 2009 target bonus for the Vice President of Biomaterials and the Vice President of Biomaterials Research was set at $40,000, as determined by the Compensation Committee considering the current responsibilities of the Vice Presidents and their influence on the Company’s achievement of corporate financial targets. In addition, the Vice President of Biomaterials and the Vice President of Biomaterials Research are eligible for additional discretionary cash bonuses as the CEO recommends, and as approved by the Compensation Committee.

Bonus Calculation. The total cash bonus for each NEO is weighted on the achievement of the Company’s annual corporate financial and strategic individual goals and team objectives. The weighted percentages are approved by the Compensation Committee and are primarily based on our compensation philosophy that a portion of the total compensation is of an “at-risk” nature for each respective NEO and the NEO’s roles and responsibilities. In the event the Company’s financial performance falls below a goal achievement factor of 80% for a particular corporate financial goal, no NEO will be eligible for the portion of his cash bonus attributable to that corporate financial. If the Company’s financial performance is above the 80% factor for a corporate financial goal, then the cash bonus is weighted on a combination of corporate financial goals, as well as achievement of strategic individual and team objectives.

For fiscal 2009, the calculation of the cash bonus for our CEO, COO and our current CFO was weighted 70% on the achievement of the Company’s corporate financial goals and 30% on the achievement of strategic individual and team objectives. Further, the portion of Mr. Kaufmann’s cash bonus related to the percent achievement of each corporate financial goal, up to the actual achievement of 100% of that goal, was weighted 60% on the actual achievement percentage of the Company’s earnings per share goal and 40% on the actual achievement percentage of the Company’s total revenue goal. This 60%/40% ratio is primarily due to our compensation philosophy of “at-risk” compensation for the CEO role, as the Committee believes that the CEO has greater responsibilities, relative to the other NEOs with respect to matters that would impact earnings per share. The cash bonus of the COO and CFO, related to the corporate financial goals, were weighted 50% on the actual achievement percentage of the Company’s earnings per share goal and 50% on the actual achievement percentage of the Company’s total revenue goal. This 50%/50% ratio is primarily due to our compensation philosophy of “at-risk” compensation for the roles of the COO and CFO, as the Committee believes that each of the COO and CFO have greater responsibilities, relative to the other NEOs, other than the CEO, with respect to matters that would impact both earnings per share and total revenue.

For fiscal 2009, calculation of the cash available for awards to the Vice President of Biomaterials and the Vice President of Biomaterials Research was determined by the set target bonus multiplied by the average achievement percentage completed for the Company’s financial goals. The cash available for their awards was then multiplied by the weight, as determined by the CEO and COO, of each strategic individual goal and the percent the executive has completed that goal.

14

We do not typically publicly disclose our financial targets or strategic targets, as our business plan is highly confidential. Due to the long-term nature of our Company’s business plan, many of our strategic goals extend beyond the fiscal year. Therefore, disclosing specific objectives would provide competitors and other third parties with insights into our Company’s planning process and would therefore cause competitive harm.

Fiscal 2009 Corporate Financial Goals

The Company’s corporate financial goals for fiscal 2009 to which the NEOs’ cash bonuses were tied were as follows:

	FY09 Goal		FY09 Achievement		Achievement %
Total Revenue ($ millions)	$	89.0	$	82.1	92	%
Earnings Per Share	$	1.63	$	1.69	104	%
Average Achievement Percentage Completed					98	%

Total revenues for fiscal 2009 as reported in our Form 10-K for fiscal 2009, as filed with the SEC on September 14, 2009, were $82.1 million and presented a 92% achievement of the $89.0 million corporate financial goal. The $89.0 million total revenue goal was 100% of the Company’s fiscal 2009 internal operating plan, as approved by the Board prior to the beginning of the fiscal year. Earnings per share as reported in our 10-K for fiscal 2009 was $1.69 and represented a 104% achievement of the $1.63 corporate financial goal.

Strategic Individual Goals and Team Objectives

For Fiscal 2009, the strategic individual goals and team objectives for each NEO were identified in the section above titled “Elements and Mix of Total Compensation and Benefits,” as these strategic goals are based specific to each NEO role and responsibility within our Company.

For fiscal 2009, based on the factors discussed above, we granted cash bonus awards as follows: Mr. Kaufmann, $312,700; Mr. Evans, $280,200; Mr. Celano, $41,100 (pro-rated for four months of service during fiscal 2009); Mr. DeWitt, $37,000 and Dr. Kronengold, $56,000. Dr. Kronengold’s cash bonus includes a $20,000 discretionary award recommended by the CEO and approved by the Compensation Committee for the accomplishments of goals related to the cartilage repair and ECM technology programs in fiscal 2009.

The Company has established total revenue, earnings per share and strategic goals for its fiscal year ending June 30, 2010 (fiscal 2010) at 100% of the Company’s internal operating plan, as approved by the Board prior to the beginning of fiscal 2010.

Equity-based awards.

We use stock options, restricted stock, and other equity-based equivalents to provide long-term incentives. These awards help us retain and attract executives and align their interests with stockholders by setting multi-year vesting requirements. These awards are granted at the fair market value (always tied to the market price on the date of grant, never discounted) and therefore are aligned with the growth of our stock. We believe that long-term compensation is a critical component of our executive compensation program and is a way to foster a long-term focus on the Company’s financial results. The amount of shares received in relation to the total potential received was based on a weighted consideration of the NEOs’ achievement of their strategic individual goals and team based objectives (consistent with the methodology described under the section titled “Elements and Mix of Total Compensation and Benefits” and “Target Bonus Percentage”).

Each year, the Compensation Committee decides the appropriate types and mix of equity-based awards. In addition, grant dates for equity-based awards are determined in accordance with our Equity Awards Policy,

15

which provides that awards generally will be granted at the first Compensation Committee meeting following the end of each fiscal year. Typically, the Compensation Committee will award stock options. The Compensation Committee considers stock options to be a particularly effective means to promote the overall financial objectives of the Company and its stockholders by motivating the executives who are granted stock options to achieve long-term growth in stockholder equity in the Company and by retaining those individuals who are instrumental in achieving this growth. The Compensation Committee will award other awards, such as restricted stock awards, at the Compensation Committee’s discretion. For fiscal 2009, the Compensation Committee decided to utilize only nonqualified stock options, rather than a mix of restricted stock and stock options.

We award long-term equity incentives annually to the CEO and each other NEO. Individual target awards were established for fiscal 2009 based on the same methodology as described above in the “Bonus Calculations” section, except, for the CEO, COO and our current CFO, 80% of the eligible award is weighted to the corporate financial goals and strategic individual and team objectives and 20% of the eligible award is discretionary and at the determination of the Compensation Committee. For fiscal 2009, we granted stock option awards as follows: Mr. Kaufmann, 38,000 shares; Mr. Evans, 29,000 shares; Mr. Celano, 4,400 shares (pro-rated for four months of service during fiscal 2009); Mr. DeWitt, 10,000 shares; Dr. Kronengold, 12,500 shares. These individual grants for fiscal 2009 performance were awarded on September 22, 2009, the date of the first Compensation Committee meeting following fiscal 2009. The shares awarded to each NEO were based on the ratio of other “at-risk” compensation elements. A significant portion of the CEO’s and COO’s “at-risk” compensation is tied to long-term incentives as compared to the CFO and to the Vice Presidents. The fiscal 2009 portion of equity compensation for our NEOs is consistent with that in relation to the median of our peer group.

Changes in the Principal Financial Officer During Fiscal 2009

On October 20, 2008, Wendy F. DiCicco submitted her resignation as Chief Financial Officer, as which she served as both the principal financial officer and principal accounting officer of the Company, which was effective on November 15, 2008, after the filing of the Company’s Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2008. Ms. DiCicco served as our Chief Financial Officer since August 1998.

Pursuant to the terms of Ms. DiCicco’s employment agreement with the Company, Ms. DiCicco was not entitled to receive any severance benefits upon resignation from the Company. However on November 15, 2008, the Company, in order to obtain certain restrictive covenants for the benefit of the Company, including a severance repayment provision in the event Ms. DiCicco violates any of the restrictive covenants and a general release of claims, entered into a Separation and General Release Agreement, as amended by the First Amendment to the Separation and General Release Agreement, effective as of December 4, 2008 (as amended, the “Separation Agreement”) with Ms. DiCicco. Among other things, the Separation Agreement provided for (1) payment of a lump sum bonus equal to $51,200 to be paid no later than December 12, 2008; and (2) accelerated vesting of options to purchase 16,000 shares of the Company’s common stock; and (3) all of Ms. DiCicco’s options to purchase 53,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, which, including those options vested pursuant to the Separation Agreement, would remain exercisable for a period of twelve months following the date of Ms. DiCicco’s termination.

The fiscal 2009 base salary of Ms. DiCicco of $223,800 was determined based on the recommendation by the CEO, after considerations of the total compensation mix appropriate based on her experience, individual performance, roles and responsibilities as CFO, in accordance with the Company’s compensation philosophy discussed above, and was approved by the Compensation Committee at the September 2008 Committee meeting.

On October 27, 2008, the Board designated Ryan D. Lake, who is the Company’s Director of Finance, to assume the additional roles of the Company’s principal financial officer and principal accounting officer on an interim basis, until the Board elected a new Chief Financial Officer. Mr. Lake was the appointed principal financial and accounting officer as of November 15, 2008, the effective date of Ms. DiCicco’s resignation, and served in such capacity until March 10, 2009, when Mr. Celano was named our CFO. During this interim period, Mr. Lake reported directly to the Company’s President and CEO, Mr. Kaufmann.

16

Mr. Lake, age 31, was appointed Director of Finance in October 2008. Mr. Lake has served in various senior roles at the Company since 2002. He had previously held the position of Director of Accounting since 2007. From 2005 to 2007, Mr. Lake served the Company as Senior Accounting and Compliance Manager. From 2003 to 2005, Mr. Lake served the Company as General Accounting Manager. From 1999 until he joined the Company in 2002, Mr. Lake was an Accounting and Audit Senior at the public accounting firm Deloitte & Touche, LLP. Prior to that, Mr. Lake was an accountant at the forensic accounting firm Nihill & Riedley, P.C. Mr. Lake holds a B.S. degree in Accounting from West Chester University of Pennsylvania and is a Certified Public Accountant in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

The base salary for Mr. Lake during fiscal 2009, which includes the period for which he served as interim principal financial and accounting officer, was set at $125,000 and was determined by the former Chief Financial Officer and approved by our CEO as part of the annual performance review in September 2008, and was based on Mr. Lake’s department contributions for fiscal 2008, as well as internal review of base salary of similarly situated employees, considerations of his professional accounting background and his several years of service with the Company as compared against national salary survey data provided by the Company’s Human Resources Department. In September 2009, as part of the annual performance review by our CFO and CEO, our CEO approved an increase to Mr. Lake’s base salary to $137,500. The salary increase was based upon Mr. Lake’s fiscal 2009 performance, similar salaries of the employees at the director level of the Company, as well as consideration of industry-published salary surveys available from Aon Corporation’s Radford Group. Mr. Lake is not employed pursuant to an executive compensation agreement.

The fiscal 2009 cash bonus granted to Mr. Lake was determined by the Compensation Committee and was based on several factors, which included the consideration of Mr. Lake’s appointment as interim Principal Financial and Accounting Officer between the former and the current CFO, the limited duration of Mr. Lake serving in such capacity, as well as his efforts and time to perform his duties as principal financial and accounting officer, in addition to those associated with serving as Director of Finance. For fiscal 2009, Mr. Lake was awarded a cash bonus of $25,000, which included a $15,000 discretionary bonus.

Mr. Lake was also awarded a non-qualified stock option to acquire 6,000 shares of Common Stock on September 22, 2009, in connection with the Company’s other equity-based awards for fiscal 2009.

Tax Deductibility of Compensation

Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code (the Code) provides that compensation paid to certain executive officers in excess of $1,000,000 in any year is not deductible by the Company for federal income tax purposes unless, in general, such compensation is performance-based, is established by a committee comprised solely of two or more independent directors and is objective, and unless the plan or agreement providing for such performance-based compensation has been approved by the stockholders in advance of payment. The Compensation Committee currently intends to maximize the tax deductibility of compensation paid to executive officers, where possible. However, the Compensation Committee also realizes that in order to attract and retain individuals with superior talent, it may, from time to time, pay compensation to our executive officers that may not be deductible.

Perquisites (fringe benefits)

Contractually, none of our executives are entitled to benefits that are not otherwise available to our employees generally. We do not provide a defined benefit pension arrangement, post-retirement health coverage or similar benefits for any of our executives.

Report of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors

(1) The amounts represent cash bonuses earned based on the NEO’s performance during the applicable fiscal years which were paid in September 2008 (fiscal 2009) and October 2009 (fiscal 2010), respectively. Ms. DiCicco’s bonus listed in the row for fiscal 2009 was paid to her in December 2008 per the terms of her Separation Agreement.

18

(2) These amounts do not represent compensation actually received. The amounts represent the aggregate expense recognized for awards of restricted stock, stock options and cash-settled stock appreciation rights (SARs) for financial statement reporting purposes for applicable fiscal years, in accordance with SFAS 123(R). Such amounts may include amounts recognized for awards granted during the applicable fiscal years and prior years. Cash-settled SARs awarded in stock-based payment transactions are accounted for under SFAS 123(R), which classifies these awards as liabilities. Accordingly, the fair value of the award is remeasured at each reporting period until the award is settled. Fluctuations in the fair value of the liability award are recorded as increases or decreases in compensation cost. During fiscal 2009 the Company recognized a benefit related to the outstanding cash-settled SARs which is reflected in the amounts shown above.

(3) In September 2009 (fiscal 2010), the Company granted the following option awards based on each NEO’s performance during fiscal 2009: Mr. Kaufmann- 38,000 shares; Mr. Celano- 4,400 shares; Mr. Lake- 6,000 shares; Mr. Evans- 29,000 shares; Dr. Kronengold- 12,500 shares; and Mr. DeWitt- 10,000 shares. These awards are not reflected in the summary compensation table above.

(4) For fiscal 2008, the acquisition by Ramius Capital Group, L.L.C. and its affiliates, of more than 20 percent of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock on August 30, 2007, constituted a “Change in Control” as defined under the Employee Plan as it then existed. As a result, all outstanding unvested stock options, cash-settled SARs and nonvested stock awards held by officers, employees, directors and others under this plan automatically became vested (and, in the case of options and stock appreciation rights, exercisable) in full. This acceleration of vesting increased the amounts recognized under SFAS 123(R) with respect to the stock awards and options/cash-settled SARs awards respectively, for each of the NEOs for fiscal 2008 as follows: Mr. Kaufmann: $301,168 for stock awards and $66,479 for option/cash-settled SARs awards; Ms. DiCicco: $96,771 and $13,567; and Mr. Evans: $255,702 and $47,485. Please refer to Note 17 “Stock-Based Compensation,” of our consolidated financial statements for fiscal 2009 included in our Form 10-K for fiscal 2009, for a discussion of accelerated vesting of all equity-based awards.

(5) Mr. Celano joined Kensey Nash in March 2009. Upon commencement of his employment, Mr. Celano was granted 10,000 shares of restricted stock and options to acquire 30,000 shares of Common stock, with both awards scheduled to vest over a four year period. All of Mr. Celano’s compensation as presented reflects his length of employment of four months during fiscal 2009.

(6) Mr. Lake served as our acting Principal Financial and Accounting Officer from November 2008 until March 2009.

(7) Ms. DiCicco resigned in November 2008. Ms. DiCicco’s salary presented in the row for fiscal 2009 was her salary as paid to her through her termination date. The cash-settled SARs held by Ms. DiCicco were forfeited, pursuant to the terms of her employment agreement, in connection with her termination of employment. Therefore, the liability with respect to the cash-settled SARs that Ms. DiCicco forfeited was reversed, and, in accordance with GAAP rules, the reversal resulted in the negative amount shown in the table. Please refer to Note 17 “Stock-Based Compensation,” of our consolidated financial statements for fiscal 2009 included in our Form 10-K for fiscal 2009, for a discussion of assumptions relevant to the calculation of such amounts. For a discussion of the Separation Agreement between the Company and Ms. DiCicco, see “Executive Compensation—Compensation Discussion and Analysis” in the section titled “Changes in the Principal Financial Officer During Fiscal 2009.”

(8) The amounts consist of life insurance premiums and 401(k) matching contributions as described below for fiscal 2009.

Employment Agreements—Effective January 1 2009, we updated each of our executive’s employment agreements entered into with the Company to, amongst other things, comply with Section 409A of the Code. Mr. Kaufmann is a party to an employment agreement with the Company dated as of January 1, 2009 that expires on the earlier of his employment termination and June 27, 2010 (unless extended by mutual agreement between us and Mr. Kaufmann), and provides for a minimum annual base salary of $319,000, or his most recent per annum base salary, whichever is greater. The Board increased Mr. Kaufmann’s salary to $328,570 effective October 1, 2009. Mr. Evans is a party to an employment agreement with the Company dated as of January 1, 2009 that expires on the earlier of his employment termination and June 27, 2010 (unless extended by mutual agreement between us and Mr. Evans), and provides for a minimum annual base salary of $286,000, or his most recent per annum base salary, whichever is greater. The Board increased Mr. Evans’ salary to $294,580 effective October 1, 2009. Mr. Celano is party to a two-year employment agreement with the Company dated as of March 10, 2009, his date of hire, that is set to expire on the earlier of his employment termination and March 9, 2011 (unless extended by mutual agreement between us and Mr. Celano). This agreement provides for a minimum annual base salary of $250,000, or his most recent per annum base salary, whichever is greater. Mr. DeWitt is party to a two year employment agreement with the Company dated January 1, 2009 that expires on the earlier of his employment termination or December 31, 2010 (unless extended by mutual agreement between us and Mr. DeWitt), and provides for a minimum annual base salary of $192,000, or his most recent per annum base salary, whichever is greater.

The Board increased Dr. Kronengold’s salary to $191,530 effective October 1, 2009.

Each of these employment agreements provides that a bonus may be paid, or an equity award granted, at the discretion of the Board or the Compensation Committee. In addition, the employment agreements restrict each of the executives from competing with us or soliciting our employees, customers or suppliers during the term of the agreement and for 12 months after termination of his employment with the Company.

These agreements provide for compensation and benefits in the event that (1) the executive’s employment is terminated by the Company without “Cause” prior to a “Change in Control” during his or her employment term; (2) the executive’s employment is terminated during the employment term by the Company with Cause or by the executive other than for Good Reason; and (3) upon or following a “Change in Control,” either the Company terminates the executive’s employment for a reason other than “Cause” or the executive terminates his employment with the Company for “Good Reason,” in either case during his employment term.

For purposes of all five of these employment agreements, the following terms are defined below:

“Cause” means any of the following:

• an act of fraud, embezzlement or other act of dishonesty that would reflect adversely on the integrity of the Company;

• conviction for violation of any criminal statute involving breach of fiduciary duty or moral turpitude;

• failure by the executive to discharge his or her duties in a reasonably satisfactory manner and that failure is not cured by the executive within 30 days after delivery of written notice to the executive specifying the nature of such failure;

• the death of the executive;

23

• a mental or physical disability of the executive which renders the executive unable to effectively perform his duties for 180 days; or

• the executive’s voluntary termination of employment other than as a result of a breach of the Company’s obligations under the executive’s employment agreement.

A “Change in Control” shall occur if:

• any individual, partnership, firm, corporation, association, trust, unincorporated organization or other entity, or any syndicate or group deemed to be a person is or becomes the “beneficial owner” directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing 50% or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities entitled to vote in the election of directors of the Company;

• during any period of two consecutive years, individuals who were directors at the beginning of the two-year period and any new directors, whose election or nomination for election was approved by a vote of at least three quarters of the directors who either were directors at the beginning of the two-year period or whose election or nomination was previously so approved, cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board; or

• all or substantially all of the assets of the Company are liquidated or distributed.

“Good Reason” means, following a Change in Control, any of the following:

• a material diminution in the executive’s base compensation as in effect on the date of the Change in Control;

• a material diminution in the executive’s responsibilities as in effect on the date of the Change of Control; or

• relocation of the executive’s location of employment more than 50 miles from the location on the date of the Change in Control.

For purposes of the agreements of Mr. Kaufmann, Mr. Evans and Mr. Celano, the following term is defined below:

“Estimated Bonus” means:

• an amount equal to the average of the value of the cash bonuses and restricted stock received by the executive for the last two full fiscal years for which the executive has received such cash bonuses and restricted stock, if any, prior to the executive’s termination date.

For purposes of the agreements of Mr. DeWitt and Dr. Kronengold agreements, the following term is defined below:

“Estimated Bonus” means:

• an amount equal to the average of the value of the cash bonuses received by the executive for the last two full fiscal years for which the executive has received such cash bonuses, if any, prior to the executive’s termination date.

If the employment of Mr. Kaufmann, Mr. Evans, Mr. Celano, Mr. DeWitt or Dr. Kronengold is terminated, then under his respective agreement, he will receive the compensation and benefits described below. If the executive violates the employment agreement’s restrictions on competing with the Company or soliciting its employees, customers or suppliers, the Company will have the right to terminate payment or provision of the compensation and benefits described below and the Company will be entitled to reimbursement of any of these amounts that the Company has already paid. In addition, for any stock option the executive exercised after his employment termination date, he will be required to pay the Company the difference between the exercise price of such stock option and the Company’s closing stock price on the date on his employment termination.

24

Termination Without Cause Prior to a Change in Control

If the Company terminates the executive without Cause and the executive executes a general release, then:

• the executive will be entitled to a lump sum cash severance payment within 60 days following his employment termination date equal to the greater of:

• any amount of base salary remaining until the expiration of the original employment term (which for Messrs. Kaufmann and Evans, means June 27, 2010, and for Messrs. Celano, DeWitt and Kronengold, means the second anniversary of the effective date) and a payment equal to one Estimated Bonus for each year of the original employment term (which for Messrs. Kaufmann and Evans, means the 3-year employment term ending June 27, 2010, and for Messrs. Celano, DeWitt and Kronengold means the 2-year employment term ending December 31, 2010) for which the executive has not yet received a bonus payment but would be entitled to if he had not been terminated; or

• 12 months of base salary and a payment equal to one Estimated Bonus.

• the executive will generally be eligible to continue his health/prescription, dental and vision insurance coverage until the expiration of the original employment term or for twelve (12) months after the termination date, whichever is longer, or until he becomes gainfully employed and is eligible for benefits at his new place of employment.

• the outstanding stock options and restricted stock held by the executive will immediately vest and any stock options would remain exercisable for a period of one year from the executive’s employment termination date, but not past the original term of the stock option.

Termination with Cause or Voluntarily by the Executive (including Retirement)

If the executive’s employment is terminated either by the Company with Cause, or by the executive other than for Good Reason following a Change in Control, during the employment term, the executive will be entitled to payment of his base salary accrued through the employment termination date. If executive’s employment termination is due to his retirement, the executive’s stock options that are vested on the employment termination date will remain exercisable for a period of one year from the employment termination date; but not past the original term of the stock option.

Termination Upon or Following a Change In Control

If, upon or following a Change in Control, either the Company terminates the executive for a reason other than Cause or the executive quits his employment with the Company for Good Reason, and if the executive executes a general release, then:

• the executive will be entitled to a lump sum cash severance payment within 60 days following his employment termination date, equal to the greater of:

• the amount of severance the executive would have received for a termination without cause, as described above; or

• the sum of, with respect to each of Messrs. Kaufmann and Evans, two times his base salary and two times his Estimated Bonus, and with respect to each of Messrs Celano, DeWitt and Kronengold, one and one half times his base salary and one and one half times his Estimated Bonus;

• the executive will generally be eligible to continue his health/prescription, dental and vision insurance coverage for 24 months after his employment termination date, or until he becomes gainfully employed and is eligible for benefits at his new place of employment; and

• upon a Change in Control, regardless of whether an employment termination occurs, the executive’s stock options and restricted stock will immediately vest.

• outstanding stock options would remain exercisable for a period of one year from the employment termination date, but not past the original term of the stock option.

25

Executive’s Employment Not Renewed

In the event the employment agreement is not renewed upon the expiration of its original term, the Company will not have any further obligations under that employment agreement and the executive’s employment will then be at-will.

All of the payments in the table shown above were determined in accordance with each respective NEO’s employment agreement unless otherwise described in the footnotes below.

(1) Assumes that the NEO executes and delivers a general release in favor of the Company.

(2) The meaning of “Change in Control” is described above under “Employment Agreements”.

(3) In the event that the NEO’s employment term expires due to non-renewal, the Company shall have no further obligations under that NEO’s employment agreement. If the NEO remains employed with the Company, the NEO will be an at-will employee.

(4) Bonus is an amount equal to the average of the value of the cash bonuses and restricted stock received by the NEO for the last two full fiscal years for which the NEO has received such cash bonuses and restricted stock, if any, prior to the NEO’s termination date.

(5) The amounts represent all unvested equity awards and are based on the market value of the Company’s Common Stock of $26.21 per share, the closing price on June 30, 2009 as reported by the NASDAQ Stock Market. If an award’s exercise price exceeds the closing price as of June 30, 2009, no value is presented. Please refer to Note 17 “Stock Based Compensation,” of our consolidated financial statements for fiscal 2009 included in our Form 10-K for fiscal year 2009, for a discussion of information relevant to the calculation of such amounts.

(6) If the NEO’s total severance benefits exceed 110% of the amount that would trigger a “golden parachute” excise tax under the Code, the Company will pay the NEO a “gross-up” payment such that the NEO will receive the same amount of benefits as he would have if the excise tax had not been imposed.

(7) The amounts are calculated using current insurance premium rates as of June 30, 2009.

(8) Mr. Celano joined Kensey Nash in March 2009. Mr. Celano’s bonus compensation as presented reflects his length of employment of four months during fiscal 2009.

(9) Mr. Lake does not have an employment agreement with the Company.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS COMPENSATION

The Compensation Committee recommends our directors’ compensation package, subject to approval by the Board, at the Board meeting immediately following our Annual Meeting. In discharging this duty, the Compensation Committee is guided by three goals: compensation should fairly pay directors for work required in a company of our operational size and scope; compensation should align directors’ interests with the long-term interests of stockholders; and the structure of the compensation should be adequate to enable the Company to attract and retain well-qualified directors. The Compensation Committee reviews the compensation of directors annually. The Compensation Committee reviews retainers and equity compensation of our peer group and benchmarks our directors’ compensation packages in conjunction with establishing the structure of our directors’ compensation. We do not pay additional compensation to our executive officers for their service as directors.

28

In consideration of service on the Board, on the date of our fiscal 2008 Annual Meeting of the stockholders of the Company, each non-employee director who was elected, re-elected or continued to serve as a director because his term had not expired, received the following compensation package for the period December 2008 to December 2009:

Cash Compensation

	Member		Chairman
Board of Directors Retainer	$	25,000	$	40,000
Strategic Committee Retainer	$	3,500	$	5,000
Audit Committee Retainer	$	5,000	$	7,000
Compensation Committee Retainer	$	3,500	$	5,000
Corporate Governance & Nominating Committee Retainer	$	3,500	$	3,500

Equity-based Compensation

	Restricted Stock Awarded 12/10/2008	Value of Restricted Stock Award ($17.72/sh)(1)
Chairman of the Board	7,900	$	139,988
Director (other than the Chairman)	6,490	$	115,003

(1) The assumptions we made to determine the amounts listed in this column are set forth in Note 17 “Stock Based Compensation” of our consolidated financial statements for fiscal 2009 included in our Form 10-K for fiscal 2009. The fair value of each award granted was $17.72 per share.

Other Factors:

• The grants of restricted Common Stock awarded to non-employee directors and the Chairman of the Board on December 10, 2008 do not contain performance vesting criteria.

• The Board collectively has an educational allowance for training programs totaling $10,000 per year, plus travel expenses and other costs associated with attending the training programs.

• Grants of options may be made, from time to time, as determined by the Compensation Committee.

• If the Compensation Committee determines to recommend a change to the current compensation package to the Board, it may present such changes at the first meeting of the Board immediately following the Annual Meeting on December 9, 2009.

The following table provides information on compensation earned during fiscal 2009 by each non-employee director:

(1) These amounts do not represent compensation actually received. Rather, the amounts represent the aggregate expense recognized for awards of restricted stock and stock options for financial statement reporting purposes for fiscal 2009 in accordance with FAS 123R. Such amounts may include amounts recognized for awards granted during fiscal 2009 and prior fiscal years. Please refer to Note 17 “Stock Based Compensation” of our consolidated financial statements for fiscal 2009 included in our Form 10-K for fiscal 2009, for a discussion of assumptions relevant to the calculation of such amount.

(2) No options were granted to members of the Board during fiscal 2009 and there are no outstanding unvested options that are currently being expensed.

(3) Mr. Smith resigned from the Board in February 2009. Mr. Smith’s unvested restricted shares were forfeited upon his resignation. As of June 30, 2009, Mr. Smith has no outstanding shares of restricted stock.

(4) Mr. Anquillare resigned from the Board in March 2009. Pursuant to the terms of a letter agreement between Mr. Anquillare and the Company, entered into in connection with his resignation from the Board, (a) an aggregate of 3,469 restricted shares held by Mr. Anquillare were accelerated, and (b) the Company repurchased all of Mr. Anquillare’s restricted shares that were vested as of the date of his letter agreement. The shares subject to acceleration represent shares that would have otherwise vested in calendar 2009 if Mr. Anquillare would have remained as a member of the Board through the original vesting dates in calendar 2009. Therefore, the expense with respect to the restricted shares that Mr. Anquillare held, and, in accordance with SEC rules, resulted in the increase in expense as shown in the table. Please refer to Note 17 “Stock-Based Compensation,” of our consolidated financial statements for fiscal 2009 included in our Form 10-K for fiscal 2009, for a discussion of assumptions relevant to the calculation of such amounts. As of June 30, 2009, Mr. Anquillare has no outstanding shares of restricted stock.

At June 30, 2009, each of the directors named below held the number of outstanding restricted stock awards and stock options (all of which are vested) to purchase the number of shares of our Common Stock shown next to his name:

Name	Number of Shares Underlying Restricted Stock Awards Granted During Last Fiscal Year (1)	Grant Date Fair Value (2)		Total Shares Underlying Unvested Restricted Stock Awards	Total Shares Underlying Unexercised Option Awards (vested)
Walter R. Maupay, Jr.	7,900	$	139,988	3,178	79,250
Robert J. Bobb	6,490	$	115,003	2,610	54,500
Harold N. Chefitz	6,490	$	115,003	2,610	32,000
C. McCollister Evarts, M.D.	6,490	$	115,003	2,610	59,500
Steven J. Lee	6,490	$	115,003	2,610	37,000

(1) Shares are scheduled to vest in three equal and annual installments on the first three anniversaries of the grant date and do not contain performance vesting criteria.

(2) Awards were granted on December 10, 2008. The closing price of our common stock on that date was $17.72 per share.

Related Party Transactions and Approval Policy

There are no transactions with related persons required to be disclosed herein pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.

As stated in our Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee charter, each director is responsible for disclosing to the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee situations that he or she reasonably believes give rise to a potential related person transaction or conflict of interest. In addition, the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee shall ask directors about potential related person transactions or potential conflicts of interest at least annually. The Board, upon recommendation of the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee and after consultation with our outside counsel, shall determine on a case-by-case basis whether a conflict of interest exists.

As stated in our Audit Committee charter, a function of the Audit Committee is to review and approve (or deny) related person transactions and resolve conflicts of interest questions involving Board members or management (as required by applicable securities laws, rules and regulations, and the rules of NASDAQ and any other securities exchange on which securities of the Company are listed) and review and monitor compliance with other written policies of the Company regarding related person transactions or conflicts of interest. Our Code of Conduct and Ethics has a section that describes how we identify potential conflicts of interest. Each of these charters and codes mentioned above are located on our website at www.kenseynash.com in the “Corporate Governance” section.

Director Independence

The Board has determined that each of Robert J. Bobb, Harold N. Chefitz, C. McCollister Evarts, M.D., Steven J. Lee and Walter R. Maupay, Jr. is a non-employee director who meets the NASDAQ independence requirements. In addition the Board has determined that each of the non-employee directors of the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee and the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee is a non-employee director who meets the NASDAQ independence requirements, including additional requirements for Audit Committee members.

In addition to the NASDAQ independence requirements, we also use the independence guidelines set forth in our Corporate Governance Guidelines, which are available on our website at www.kenseynash.com in the “Corporate Governance” section. The Board has determined that each of the directors that meet the NASDAQ independence requirements also meet the independence guidelines in our Corporate Governance Guidelines.
