Cc: Board of Directors

Dear Walter,

It is with mixed emotions that I hereby resign from the Board of Directors of Kensey Nash Corporation effective immediately.

I very much enjoyed my time serving on the Board of Kensey Nash and am proud of all of the accomplishments we have made together in a relatively short amount of time. At this time, there are other opportunities which are demanding more of my attention.

I look forward to continued constructive communication, solid execution, and future appreciation in the stock.

Warm regards,

/s/    Jeff Smith
