Amendment to Offer Letter for William Kucheman Regarding 2012 Annual Equity Grant – Boston Scientific Corporation

This letter agreement supplements your Offer Letter (“Offer Letter”) dated September 6, 2011 that was delivered to you by Boston Scientific Corporation (“Boston Scientific” or the “Company”).

The Offer Letter provides that during the normal annual executive review process in 2012, you will be granted an equity award having a total value of $3,000,000 on the effective date of grant (“2012 Annual Equity Grant”). The total value of your 2012 Annual Equity Grant remains unchanged. However, as you know, in December 2011, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors adopted a new Performance Share Program to align the Company’s executive compensation program with the interests of shareholders and to reinforce the concept of pay for performance by providing incentives for the achievement of key business performance objectives which are critical to the success of Boston Scientific (the Free Cash Flow Performance Share Program”). As a result, the Offer Letter is amended to reflect the change in the mix of equity awards comprising the 2012 Annual Equity Grant, as follows:

Non-Qualified Stock Options:                     25%

Deferred Stock Units (DSUs):                     25%

Total Shareholder Return Performance Share Units (TSR PSUs):    25%

Free Cash Flow Performance Share Units (FCF PSUs):        25%

Except as specifically amended hereby, the Offer Letter is and remains unmodified and in full force and effect.
