CHANGE IN CONTROL AGREEMENT

Exhibit 10.13

THIS CHANGE IN CONTROL AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”), is made as of the _______, 2013 between AngioDynamics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and [Executive], an individual resident of the State of New York (“Executive”).

WHEREAS, the Company considers it essential to the best interests of its shareholders to xxxxxx the continued employment of key management personnel; and

WHEREAS, the Board recognizes that, as is the case with many publicly held corporations, the possibility of a Change in Control exists and that such possibility, and the uncertainty and questions which it may raise among management, may result in the departure or distraction of management personnel to the detriment of the Company and its shareholders; and

WHEREAS, the Board has determined that appropriate steps should be taken to reinforce and encourage the continued attention and dedication of members of the Company's management, including the Executive, to their assigned duties without distraction in the face of potentially disturbing circumstances arising from the possibility of a Change in Control;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants herein contained, the Company and the Executive hereby agree as follows:

1. Defined Terms. The definitions of capitalized terms used in this Agreement are provided in the last Section hereof.

2. Term of Agreement. The Term of this Agreement shall commence on the date hereof and shall continue in effect through December 31, 2013; provided, however, that effective January 1, 2014 and each January 1 thereafter, the Term that is then in effect shall automatically be extended for one additional year unless the Company has given notice before the January 1 in question that the Term that is in effect at the time such notice is given will not be extended; and further provided, however, that if a Change in Control occurs during the Term, the Term shall expire no earlier than twelve (12) calendar months after the calendar month in which such Change in Control occurs. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement shall terminate if the Executive ceases to be an employee of the Company and its subsidiaries for any reason prior to a Change in Control. However, anything in this Agreement (including the preceding sentence) to the contrary notwithstanding, if a Change in Control occurs and if, within three months prior to the date on which such Change in Control occurs, the Executive's employment with the Company is terminated by the Company without Cause or an event occurs that would, if it took place after the Change in Control, constitute Good Reason for termination of employment by the Executive, and if it is reasonably demonstrated by the Executive that such termination of employment by the Company or event constituting Good Reason for termination of employment by the Executive (a) was undertaken at the request of a third party who has taken steps reasonably calculated to effect the Change in Control, or (b) otherwise arose in connection with or in anticipation of the Change in Control, then for purposes of this Agreement such termination of employment by the Company without Cause or event constituting Good Reason shall be deemed to occur during the 12 month period following the Change in Control and, if the Executive terminates his employment for such Good Reason before the Change in Control, such termination of employment by the Executive shall likewise be deemed to occur during the 12 month period following the Change in Control.

3. Company's Covenants Summarized. In order to induce the

Executive to remain in the employ of the Company and in consideration of the Executive's covenants set forth in Section 4 hereof, the Company agrees, under

the conditions described herein, to pay the Executive the Severance Payments and

the other payments and benefits described herein. Except as provided in Section 2, Section 6.3, Section 9.1 or Section 14.2 hereof, no amounts shall be payable under this Agreement unless the Executive's employment with the Company terminates following a Change in Control and during the Term. This Agreement shall not be construed as creating an express or implied contract of employment enforceable against the Company nor, except as provided in Section 4 below, enforceable against the Executive, and, except as otherwise agreed in writing between the Executive and the Company, the Executive shall not have any right to be retained in the employ of the Company.

4. The Executive's Covenants. The Executive agrees to remain in the employ of the Company, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, if a Potential Change in Control occurs during the Term and the Executive is then in the employ of the Company, until the earliest of (a) the date which is six (6) months from the date of such Potential Change in Control, (b) the date of a Change in Control, (c) the date of termination by the Executive of the Executive's employment for Good Reason or by reason of death, Disability or Retirement, or (d) the termination by the Company of the Executive's employment for any reason; provided that Executive’s agreement to remain in the employ of the Company shall be subject to the condition that no adverse change occurs after the Potential Change in Control in his title, duties, responsibilities, authority, reporting relationships, compensation, benefits or indemnification rights.

5. Certain Compensation Other Than Severance Payments.

5.1 If the Executive's employment shall be terminated for any reason following a Change in Control and during the Term, the Company shall pay the Executive his full salary through the date of termination at the rate in effect immediately prior to the date of termination or, if higher, the rate in effect immediately prior to the first occurrence of an event or circumstance constituting Good Reason, together with all compensation and benefits payable to the Executive through the date of termination under the terms of the Company's compensation and benefit plans, programs and arrangements as in effect immediately prior to the date of termination or, if more favorable to the Executive, as in effect immediately prior to the first occurrence of an event or circumstance constituting Good Reason.

5.2 Subject to Section 6.1 hereof, if the Executive's employment shall be terminated for any reason following a Change in Control and during the Term, the Company shall pay to the Executive the Executive's normal post-termination compensation and benefits as such payments become due. Any such post-termination compensation and benefits shall be determined under, and paid in accordance with, the Company's retirement, insurance and other compensation and benefit plans, programs and arrangements as in effect immediately prior to the date of termination or, if more favorable to the Executive, as in effect immediately prior to the occurrence of the first event or circumstance constituting Good Reason.

6. Severance Payments.

6.1 Subject to Section 6.2 and Section 6.3 hereof, if the Executive's employment is terminated following a Change in Control and during the Term either by the Company or by the Executive, other than (a) by the Company for Cause, (b) by reason of death or Disability, or (c) by the Executive without Good Reason, (any such employment termination being hereafter sometimes referred to as a "Compensable Termination"), then the Company shall pay the Executive the amounts, and provide the Executive the benefits, described in this Section 6.1 ("Severance Payments"), in addition to any payments and benefits to which the Executive is entitled under Sections 5 and 6.3 hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Executive shall

not be eligible to receive any payment or benefit provided for in this Section 6.1 unless the Executive shall have executed (i) a release substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto, and a covenant not to compete substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto, effective as of the date of the Compensable Termination or a date subsequent thereto and shall not have revoked said release. The Severance Payments are in lieu of any severance benefits that would otherwise be payable or provided pursuant to any severance plan or practice of the Company.

(i) The Company shall pay the Executive, at the time provided in Section 6.2 below, his annual bonus for the fiscal year of the Company preceding the fiscal year of the Company in which the Compensable Termination occurs, if unpaid at the time of the Compensable Termination, the amount of such bonus to be determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board on a basis no less favorable to the Executive than its bonus determinations with respect to the Executive prior to the Change in Control, unless the Committee made no bonus determinations with respect to the Executive before the Change in Control, in which case on a basis no less favorable to the Executive than its bonus determinations with respect to other executives of comparable rank before the Change in Control.

(ii) The Company shall pay the Executive, at the time provided in Section 6.2 below, a prorated annual bonus for the fiscal year of the Company in which the Compensable Termination occurs, such prorated bonus to be determined by multiplying the “Applicable Average Bonus” as defined below in this subsection (ii) by a fraction the numerator of which shall be the number of days elapsed in such fiscal year through (and including) the date on which the Compensable Termination occurs and the denominator of which shall be the number 365. For purposes of this Agreement, the “Applicable Average Bonus” means the higher of (A) the average of all annual bonuses (including any deferred bonuses) awarded to the Executive during the 36 months immediately preceding the Compensable Termination or, if the Executive was employed by the Company for less than 36 months before the Compensable Termination, during the period of his employment by the Company prior to the Compensable Termination (annualizing any bonus awarded for less than a full year of employment), or (B) the average of all annual bonuses (including any deferred bonuses) awarded to the Executive during the three fiscal years of the Company that precede the fiscal year in which the Compensable Termination occurs or during the portion of such three fiscal years in which he was employed by the Company (annualizing any bonus awarded for less than a full year of employment), or (C) the average of all annual bonuses (including any deferred bonuses) awarded to the Executive during the 36 months preceding the date on which the Change in Control occurred or during the portion of such 36 month period in which he was employed by the Company (annualizing any bonus awarded for less than a full year of employment).

(iii) The Company shall pay the Executive, at the time provided in Section 6.2 below, a lump sum cash payment equal to two (2) times the Executive's annual base salary at the rate in effect immediately prior to the Compensable Termination or, if higher, in effect immediately prior to the first occurrence of an event or circumstance constituting Good Reason (“Base Salary”).

(iv) The Company will pay the Executive for all earned but unused vacation leave at the time of the Compensable Termination.

6.2 All payments to be made pursuant to subsections (i) through (iv) of Section 6.1 above shall be made within thirty (30) calendar days after the date on which a Separation from Service occurs coincident with or following, or within 30 days before, the date on which the Compensable Termination occurs (the “Separation from Service Date”) unless on the Separation from Service Date the Executive is a Specified Employee, in which case such payments shall be made six months and one day after the Separation from Service Date (or, if earlier, the date of the Executive’s death). For purposes of the preceding sentence, a Specified Employee means a “specified employee” who is subject to the special rule set forth in subsection

(a)(2)(B)(i) of section 409A of the Code and the regulations thereunder (including, without limitation, Proposed Treasury Regulation section 1.409A-1(i)) with respect to such payments.

6.3 In the event that the severance and other benefits provided for in this Agreement or otherwise payable to Executive (i) constitute “parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, and (ii) would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”), then Executive’s benefits under this Agreement shall be either

(i) delivered in full, or

(ii) delivered as to such lesser extent which would result in no portion of such benefits being subject to the Excise Tax, whichever of the foregoing amounts, taking into account the applicable federal, state and local income taxes and the Excise Tax, results in the receipt by Executive on an after-tax basis, of the greatest amount of benefits, notwithstanding that all or some portion of such benefits may be taxable under Section 4999 of the Code. If a reduction in severance and other benefits constituting “parachute payments” is necessary so that benefits are delivered to a lesser extent, reduction will occur in the following order: reduction of cash payments, cancellation of equity awards granted within the twelve (12) month period prior to a “change in control” (as determined under Code Section 280G) that are deemed to have been granted contingent upon the change in control (as determined under Code Section 280G), cancellation of accelerated vesting of equity awards, reduction of employee benefits.

Unless the Company and Executive otherwise agree in writing, any determination required under this Section shall be made in writing by the Company’s independent public accountants (the “Accountants”), whose determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Executive and the Company for all purposes. For purposes of making the calculations required by this Section, the Accountants may make reasonable assumptions and approximations concerning applicable taxes and may rely on reasonable, good faith interpretations concerning the application of Section 280G and 4999 of the Code. The Company and Executive shall furnish to the Accountants such information and documents as the Accountants may reasonably request in order to make a determination under this Section. The Company shall bear all costs the Accountants may reasonably incur in connection with any calculations contemplated by this Section.

7. Payments During Dispute. Any payments to which the Executive may be entitled under this Agreement, including, without limitation, under sections 5 and 6 hereof, shall be made forthwith on the applicable date(s) for payment specified in this Agreement. If for any reason the amount of any payment due to the Executive cannot be finally determined on that date, such amount shall be estimated on a good faith basis by the Company and the estimated amount shall be paid no later than 10 days after such date. As soon as practicable thereafter, the final determination of the amount due shall be made and any adjustment requiring a payment to or from the Executive shall be made as promptly as practicable.

8. No Mitigation. The Company agrees that, if the Executive's employment with the Company terminates during the Term, the Executive is not required to seek other employment or to attempt in any way to reduce any amounts payable to the Executive by the Company pursuant to Section 6 hereof or any other provision of this Agreement. Further, the amount of any payment or benefit provided for in this Agreement shall not be reduced (a) by any compensation earned by the Executive as the result of employment by another employer, (b) by retirement benefits, (c) by offset against any amount claimed to be owed by the Executive to the Company, or (d) otherwise.

9. Successors; Binding Agreement.

9.1 In addition to any obligations imposed by law upon any

successor to the Company, the Company will require any successor (whether direct

or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company to expressly assume and agree to perform the Company’s obligations under this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform if no such succession had taken place. Failure of the Company to obtain such assumption and agreement prior to the effectiveness of any such succession during the Term shall be a breach of this Agreement and shall entitle the Executive to compensation from the Company in the same amount and on the same terms as the Executive would be entitled to hereunder if the Executive were to terminate the Executive's employment for Good Reason after a Change in Control and during the Term, except that, for purposes of implementing the foregoing, the date on which the Executive’s employment terminates (for any reason other than Cause) within 30 days before, or at any time during the Term and on or after, the date on which any such succession becomes effective during the Term shall be deemed the date of the Compensable Termination.

9.2 This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Executive's personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributees, devisees and legatees. If the Executive shall die while any amount would still be payable to the Executive hereunder (other than amounts which, by their terms, terminate upon the death of the Executive) if the Executive had continued to live, all such amounts, unless otherwise provided herein, shall be paid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement to the executors, personal representatives or administrators of the Executive's estate.

10. Notices. For the purpose of this Agreement, notices and all other communications provided for in the Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when delivered or mailed by United States registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed, if to the Executive, to his most recent address shown on the books and records of the Company at the time notice is given and, if to the Company, to the address set forth below, or to such other address as either party may have furnished to the other in writing in accordance herewith, except that notice of change of address shall be effective only upon actual receipt:

11. Miscellaneous. No provision of this Agreement may be modified, waived or discharged unless such waiver, modification or discharge is agreed to in writing and signed by the Executive and such officer as may be specifically designated by the Board. No waiver by either party hereto at any time of any breach by the other party hereto of, or of any lack of compliance with, any condition or provision of this Agreement to be performed by such other party shall be deemed a waiver of similar or dissimilar provisions or conditions at the same or at any prior or subsequent time. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the parties concerning the specific subject matter addressed by this Agreement and supersedes all prior agreements addressing the terms and conditions contained herein. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to amend or otherwise alter the change in control provisions or any other provisions of any (a) stock option or other compensation or incentive award that may heretofore have been or may hereafter be granted to the

Executive, or (b) employee benefit or fringe benefit plan in which the Executive may heretofore have been or may hereafter be a participant. The validity, interpretation, construction and performance of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York. All references to sections of the Code or the Exchange Act shall be deemed also to refer to any successor provisions to such sections and to IRS or SEC regulations and official guidance published thereunder. Any payments provided for hereunder shall be subject to any applicable withholding required under federal, state or local law and any additional withholding to which the Executive has agreed. The obligations of the Company and the Executive under this Agreement which by their nature may require either partial or total performance after the expiration of the Term (including, without limitation, those under Sections 6 and 7 hereof) shall survive such expiration.

12. Validity. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect.

13. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in several

counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument.

14. Settlement of Disputes; Arbitration.

14.1 All claims by the Executive for benefits under this Agreement shall be directed to and determined by the Board and shall be in writing. Any denial by the Board of a claim for benefits under this Agreement shall be delivered to the Executive in writing and shall set forth the specific reasons for the denial and the specific provisions of this Agreement relied upon. The Board shall afford a reasonable opportunity to the Executive for a review of the decision denying a claim and shall further allow the Executive to appeal to the Board a decision of the Board within sixty (60) days after

notification by the Board that the Executive's claim has been denied.

14.2 Any further dispute or controversy arising under or in connection with this Agreement shall be settled exclusively by arbitration in the Albany, New York metropolitan area in accordance with the employment dispute resolution rules of the American Arbitration Association then in effect. The arbitrator shall have the authority to require that the Company reimburse the Executive for the payment of all or any portion of the legal fees and expenses incurred by the Executive in connection with such dispute or controversy. Judgment may be entered on the arbitrator's award in any court having jurisdiction.

14.3 The Company agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to administer this Agreement, and operate any deferred compensation plans in which the Executive participates from time to time that are aggregated with this Agreement or with any payment or benefit provided by this Agreement for purposes of Section 409A of the Code (e.g., account balance plans, nonaccount balance plans, separation pay plans, and plans that are neither account balance nor nonaccount balance plans), in good faith compliance with Code Section 409A to the extent necessary to avoid inclusion of any amounts of benefits payable hereunder in the Executive’s income pursuant to Section 409A(a)(1)(A) of the Code.

(R) “Separation from Service” means termination of employment with the Company. However, the Executive shall not be deemed to have a Separation from Service if he continues to provide services to the Company in a capacity other than as an employee and if he is providing services at an annual rate that is fifty percent or more of the services he rendered, on average, during the immediately preceding three full calendar years of employment with the Company (or if employed by the Company less than three years, such lesser period) and the annual remuneration for his services is fifty percent or more of the annual remuneration earned during the final three full calendar years of employment (of if less, such lesser period); provided, however, that a Separation from Service will be deemed to have occurred if his service with the Company is reduced to an annual rate that is less than twenty percent of the services he rendered, on average, during the immediately preceding three full calendar years of employment with the Company (or if employed by the Company less than three years, such lesser period) or the annual remuneration for his services is less than twenty percent of the annual remuneration earned during the three full calendar years of employment with the Company (or if less, such lesser period).

The fact that information is not patentable or copyrightable shall not affect its status as Confidential Information.

Conflicting Product means any product, process, machine, or service of any person or organization other than AngioDynamics, whether now existing or hereafter developed: (a) which is identical to, substantially the same as, an adequate substitute for, resembles, or competes with a product, process, machine, system, or service upon or with which Executive worked during Executive’s term of employment with AngioDynamics or about which Executive acquired Confidential Information; or (b) whose use or marketability could be enhanced by application to it of Confidential Information to which Executive had access during Executive’s employment with AngioDynamics; or (c) which is (or could reasonably be anticipated to be) marketed or distributed in such a manner and in such a geographic area as to actually compete with such a product, process, machine, or service of AngioDynamics.


d.	Conflicting Organization means any person or organization, which is now or hereafter engaged directly or indirectly in research on or the acquisition, development, production, distribution, marketing, providing, or selling of a Conflicting Product.


e.	Terms not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to such terms in the Severance Agreement.


2.	Non-Competition.


a.	For a period of: twenty four (24) months after termination of Executive’s employment with AngioDynamics pursuant to the Severance Agreement, Executive will not render services, directly or indirectly, to any Conflicting Organization.

However, notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive understands that he/she may work for a Conflicting Organization whose business is diversified, provided Executive’s work for the Conflicting Organization does not involve selling, managing, overseeing, developing, creating, promoting, servicing, involvement in the financing and/or accounting of, or other responsibility for any Conflicting Product on which Executive worked or gained Confidential Information during the last two (2) years of Executive’s employment with AngioDynamics. Prior to accepting such employment, the Conflicting Organization and Executive must provide written assurances satisfactory to AngioDynamics, that Executive will not render services, directly or indirectly, in connection with any Conflicting Product on which Executive worked or gained Confidential Information during the last two (2) years of Executive’s employment with AngioDynamics and that necessary safeguards have been put in place to ensure that this does not happen. This section shall be construed in a manner to give effect to the restrictions contained herein to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.


b.	The restrictions set forth in Section 2(a) apply in the United States and in any foreign country or foreign territory where AngioDynamics produces, sells, or markets its goods and services.


1.	Non-Solicitation.

Business Relations. Executive agrees that for a period of twenty four (24) months after the termination of Executive’s employment with AngioDynamics pursuant to the Severance Agreement, Executive will not solicit, induce, attempt to induce, appropriate, direct, or assist another to appropriate or direct, or provide any services to any current customer, supplier, licensee, or other business relation (defined as any customer, supplier, licensee, or other business relation of AngioDynamics with whom Executive had dealings and/or for whom Executive performed services at any time during the last two (2) years of Executive’s employment with AngioDynamics) to cease doing business with AngioDynamics (including, without limitation, making any negative statements or communications concerning AngioDynamics or any of its directors, officers, or employees).

2.	Miscellaneous.


a.	This Agreement shall be binding upon Executive, and upon Executive’s spouse, heirs, executors, assigns and administrators and shall inure to the benefit of AngioDynamics, its successors, and assigns.


b.	Any dispute arising under or in connection with this Agreement or related to any matter which is the subject of this Agreement shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in New York, and this Agreement shall be construed under and according to the laws of the State of New York, without regard to its conflict of laws rules.

The parties acknowledge that any breach or threatened breach of this Agreement by Executive will cause AngioDynamics material and irreparable injury and monetary damages may not be an adequate remedy for such injury. In the event of a breach or threatened breach of this Agreement, AngioDynamics may pursue any remedies at law or equity available to it, including injunctive relief. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, in addition to any remedies available to AngioDynamics (and not in exclusion of any such remedies) in the event of a breach of this Agreement, the Executive shall be required to remit to AngioDynamics any severance payments paid to Executive by AngioDynamics pursuant to this Agreement

If any provision of this Agreement is held by any court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, overly broad, invalid, or otherwise unenforceable in duration, geographical coverage, substantive scope, or otherwise, then this Agreement will be deemed amended to the extent necessary to render the otherwise unenforceable provision, and the rest of the Agreement, valid and enforceable. If a court declines to amend this Agreement as provided herein, the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions, which shall be enforced as if the offending provision had not been included in this Agreement.


e.	Nothing herein shall obligate AngioDynamics to continue to retain Executive in AngioDynamics’ employment or limit or impair AngioDynamics’ ability to terminate Executive’s employment at will, with or without cause for any reason. Executive is an employee at will.

In the event of a violation of this Agreement, the time limitations set forth in this Agreement shall be extended for a period of time equal to the period of time during which such breach occurs, and, in the event AngioDynamics is required to seek relief from such breach before any court, board, or other tribunal, then the time limitation shall be extended for a period of time equal to the pendency of such proceedings, including all appeals.

For twenty four (24) months following the termination of Executive’s employment with AngioDynamics pursuant to the Severance Agreement, Executive agrees to show this Agreement to any prospective employer before Executive directly or indirectly owns, manages, operates, controls, becomes employed by, becomes a shareholder of, becomes a director of, becomes an officer of, participates in, contracts with or becomes connected in any capacity or in any manner with such person or entity during any restrictive period provided in this Agreement. Executive also agrees to inform AngioDynamics at the time Executive gives notice of separation from employment, of the identity of Executive’s new employer and Executive’s new job title and responsibilities.

Executive ACKNOWLEDGES HAVING READ, EXECUTED, AND RECEIVED A COPY OF THIS AGREEMENT, UNDERSTANDS HIS/HER OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, SIGNS IT VOLUNTARILY, INTENDS TO BE LEGALLY BOUND BY THIS AGREEMENT, AND AGREES THAT WITH RESPECT TO THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF IT IS EXECUTIVE’S ENTIRE AGREEMENT WITH ANGIODYNAMICS AND SUPERSEDES ANY PREVIOUS ORAL OR WRITTEN COMMUNICATIONS, REPRESENTATIONS, UNDERSTANDINGS, OR AGREEMENTS WITH ANGIODYNAMICS OR ANY OF ITS OFFICIALS OR REPRESENTATIVES.

Executive further acknowledges that the restrictions imposed by this Agreement are necessary and reasonable to protect AngioDynamics’ business interests and will not preclude Executive from becoming

gainfully employed in a suitable capacity following the termination of Executive’s employment with AngioDynamics given Executive’s general knowledge and experience.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Executive has hereunto affixed his/her signature, and thereafter AngioDynamics has witnessed this document this _____________ day of ______________________ 20 ______.
