Under the Forward Contracts, Mr. Kaufmann has agreed to deliver a number of Shares (or, at the option of Mr. Kaufmann, the cash equivalent of such Shares) on the maturity date of each Forward Contract pursuant to the following formula:  (a) if the closing price of Common Stock of Kensey Nash on the applicable Maturity Date (the "Final Price") is less than the floor price with respect to any Tranche, then Mr. Kaufmann shall deliver the number of shares relating to such Tranche; (b) if the Final Price is less than or equal to the cap price, but greater than or equal to the floor price with respect to any Tranche, then Mr. Kaufmann shall deliver a number of Shares equal to the number of Shares relating to such Tranche times the floor price divided by the Final Price; and (c) if the Final Price is greater than the cap price with respect to any Tranche, then Mr. Kaufmann shall deliver a number of Shares equal to the number of Shares relating to such Tranche multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the sum of the floor price and the difference between the Final Price and the cap price, and the denominator of which is the Final Price.
