 Exhibit 10.1 
 EXECUTION VERSION 
 AMENDED AND RESTATED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT 

This AMENDED AND RESTATED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (“Agreement”), dated as of January 14, 2013 is made by and between
Biomet, Inc., an Indiana corporation (the “Company”), and Jeffrey R. Binder (the “Executive”). 
 WHEREAS, the Company and the Executive entered into that certain Employment Agreement dated as of June 11, 2008, as amended (the “Prior Agreement”); 

WHEREAS, the Company and the Executive desire to amend and restate the Prior Agreement to set out the terms and conditions for the
continued employment relationship of the Executive with the Company; 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants
and agreements set forth herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which hereby are acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows: 

1. Employment Agreement. On the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Company agrees to employ the Executive and
the Executive agrees to be employed by the Company for the Employment Period set forth in Section 2 and in the positions and with the duties set forth in Section 3. Terms used herein with initial capitalization not otherwise defined are
defined in Section 23. 
 2. Term. The initial term of employment (the “Initial Term”) under this
Agreement shall be for a three-year period commencing on January 14, 2013 (the “Effective Date”). The term of employment shall be automatically extended for an additional consecutive 12-month period (the “Extended
Term”) on the first anniversary of the Effective Date and each subsequent anniversary of the Effective Date, unless and until the Company or Executive provides written notice to the other party in accordance with Section 11 hereof not
less than 90 days before such anniversary date that such party is electing not to extend the term of employment under this Agreement (“Non-Renewal”), in which case the term of this Agreement shall end as of the end of such Initial
Term or Extended Term, as the case may be, unless sooner terminated as hereinafter set forth. Such Initial Term and all such Extended Terms are collectively referred to herein as the “Employment Period.” 

3. Position and Duties. During the Employment Period, the Executive shall serve as President and Chief Executive Officer of the
Company. In such capacities, the Executive shall report to the Board (or, if the Company becomes a subsidiary of a different entity, the board of directors of the Company’s ultimate parent company). During the Employment Period, the Executive
shall have the powers and authority customarily exercised by individuals serving as president and chief executive officer of a company of the size and nature of the Company. In addition, the Executive shall be appointed as a member of the
Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) and appointed to the Board’s Executive Committee, if existing at the time. During the Employment Period, the Board shall nominate the Executive for re-election to the Board at the
annual meeting(s) that the Executive’s position is up for re-election in the ordinary course. The Executive shall devote the Executive’s reasonable best efforts and full business time to the performance of the Executive’s duties
hereunder and the advancement of the business and affairs 







 
of the Company; provided that the Executive shall be entitled to serve as a member of the board of directors of another company approved by the Board, to serve on civic, charitable, educational,
religious, public interest or public service boards approved by the Board, and to manage the Executive’s personal and family investments, in each case, to the extent such activities do not, individually or in the aggregate, materially interfere
with the performance of the Executive’s duties and responsibilities hereunder. 
 4. Place of Performance. During
the Employment Period, the Executive shall be based primarily at the principal executive offices of the Company in Warsaw, Indiana, except for reasonable travel on the Company’s business consistent with the Executive’s position.

 5. Compensation and Benefits. 
 (a) Base Compensation. During the Employment Period, the Company shall pay to the Executive a base salary (the “Base Salary”) at the rate of no less than $736,396 per year. The
Base Salary shall be reviewed for increase by the Company no less frequently than annually and shall be increased in the discretion of the Company and any such adjusted Base Salary shall constitute “Base Salary” for purposes of this
Agreement. The Base Salary shall be paid in substantially equal installments in accordance with the Company’s regular payroll procedures. 
 (b) Annual Bonus. The Executive shall be given the opportunity to earn an annual incentive bonus for each fiscal year that ends during the Employment Period in accordance with the annual bonus plan
generally applicable to the Company’s executive officers, as the same may be in effect from time to time (the “Annual Plan”). The Executive’s target annual incentive bonus opportunity under the Annual Plan shall be
no less than 110% of the Executive’s Base Salary for on-target performance with the possibility of exceeding 110% for high achievement. The actual amount payable to the Executive as an annual bonus under the Annual Plan shall be dependent upon
the achievement of performance objectives established in accordance with the Annual Plan by the Board or the compensation committee of the Board (or its successor committee) (the “Compensation Committee”). Any bonus payable pursuant
to this Section 5(b) shall be paid at the same time annual bonuses are payable to other officers of the Company in accordance with the terms of the Annual Plan. 
 (c) Vacation; Benefits. During the Employment Period, the Company shall provide to the Executive employee benefits and perquisites on a basis that is no less favorable than that provided to other
senior officers of the Company, including participation in the Company’s deferred compensation plan (if any), as in effect from time to time. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, all benefits are provided at the Company’s sole
discretion. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Company shall have the right to change insurance carriers and to adopt, amend, terminate or modify employee benefit plans and arrangements at any time and without the consent of the Executive.
Notwithstanding anything in this Section 5(c) to the contrary, the Executive shall be entitled to an additional four (4) week vacation in the summer of calendar year 2014. 

(d) Reimbursement for Weekly Travel Expenses. Unless otherwise required by the reasonable needs of the Company, the Company
acknowledges that the Executive will 

  
 2 








 
spend weekends during the Employment Period at his home in Austin, Texas. The Company shall arrange, at its expense, for the Executive to fly once per week to and from the Executive’s Texas
home and the Company’s headquarters (or such other location as the Company may reasonably specify) during the Employment Period. The Company shall not gross up the Executive for taxes incurred in connection with these benefits, which shall be
calculated in accordance with applicable law; provided, however, that if the Executive uses a commercial flight and the income imputed in connection therewith is greater than the amount that would have been imputed to the Executive if he had used a
Company-operated aircraft, the Company shall gross up the Executive for taxes incurred on the amount by which Executive’s income imputed in connection with the commercial flight exceeds the income that would have been imputed to the Executive
if he had used a Company-operated aircraft. Any gross-up payment required to be paid by the Company under this Section 5(d) shall be paid by the Company to the Executive as soon as administratively practicable following the Company’s
receipt of a detailed accounting of (i) any such excess income imputed to the Executive as described in the preceding sentence and (ii) the taxes payable by the Executive as a result thereof, but in no event later than the last day of the
calendar year immediately following the calendar year in which the Executive first remits the taxes to which the gross-up payment relates. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company’s incremental costs associated
with extending these benefits to the Executive shall not exceed $500,000 in any 12-month period. For purposes of applying this limitation, the Company’s incremental cost for (a) commercial flights shall be the cost of the Executive’s
ticket and (b) flights on Company-operated aircraft shall be the incremental per-hour cost associated with the Executive’s flight(s) and other incremental costs related to such flights, such as landing fees, transportation and housing
costs of aircrew and other similar costs. 
 6. Expenses. The Executive is expected and is authorized to incur reasonable
expenses in the performance of his duties hereunder. The Company shall reimburse the Executive for all such expenses reasonably and actually incurred in accordance with policies which may be adopted from time to time by the Company promptly upon
periodic presentation by the Executive of an itemized account, including reasonable substantiation, of such expenses. 
 7.
Confidentiality, Non-Disclosure and Non-Competition Agreement. The Company and the Executive acknowledge and agree that during the Executive’s employment with the Company, the Executive will have access to and may assist in developing
Company Confidential Information and will occupy a position of trust and confidence with respect to the Company’s affairs and business and the affairs and business of the Company’s Affiliates. The Executive agrees that the following
obligations are necessary to preserve the confidential and proprietary nature of Company Confidential Information and to protect the Company and its Affiliates against harmful solicitation of employees and customers, harmful competition and other
actions by the Executive that would result in serious adverse consequences for the Company and its Affiliates: 
 (a)
Non-Disclosure. During the Executive’s employment with the Company and thereafter, the Executive will not knowingly use, disclose or transfer any Company Confidential Information other than as authorized in writing by the Company or
within Executive’s good faith interpretation of the scope of the Executive’s duties. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the provisions of this Section 7(a) shall not apply (i) when


  
 3 








 
disclosure is required by law or by any court, arbitrator, mediator or administrative or legislative body (including any committee thereof) with actual or apparent jurisdiction to order the
Executive to disclose or make accessible any information; or (ii) to information that becomes generally known to the public or within the relevant trade or industry other than due to the Executive’s violation of this Section 7(a).

 (b) Materials. The Executive will not remove any Company Confidential Information or any other property of the Company
or any of its Affiliates from the Company’s premises or make copies of such materials except for normal and customary use in the Company’s business. The Company acknowledges that the Executive, in the ordinary course of his duties,
routinely uses and stores Company Confidential Information at home and other locations. The Executive will return to the Company all Company Confidential Information and copies thereof and all other property of the Company or any of its Affiliates
at any time upon the request of the Company and in any event promptly after termination of Executive’s employment. The Executive agrees to attempt in good faith to identify and return to the Company any copies of any Company Confidential
Information after the Executive ceases to be employed by the Company. Anything to the contrary notwithstanding, nothing in this Section 7 shall prevent the Executive from retaining a home computer, papers and other materials of a personal
nature (including diaries and calendars), information relating to his compensation or relating to reimbursement of expenses, information that he reasonably believes may be needed for tax purposes, and copies of plans, programs and agreements
relating to his employment. 
 (c) No Solicitation or Hiring of Employees. During the Non-Compete Period, the Executive
shall not solicit, entice, persuade or induce any individual who is employed by the Company or any of its Affiliates (or who was so employed within 180 days prior to the Executive’s action) to terminate or refrain from continuing such
employment or to become employed by or enter into contractual relations with any other individual or entity other than the Company or any of its Affiliates, and the Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, hire, or participate in the hiring, as
an employee, consultant or otherwise, any such Person. 
 (d) Non-Competition. 

(i) During the Non-Compete Period, the Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, (A) solicit or encourage any
client or customer of the Company or any of its Affiliates, or any Person who was a client or customer within 180 days prior to Executive’s action to terminate, reduce or alter in a manner adverse to the Company, any existing business
arrangements with the Company or any of its Affiliates or to transfer existing business from the Company or any of its Affiliates to any other Person, (B) provide services to any entity that competes with the Company or its Affiliate in the
United States or any other jurisdiction in which the Executive has any responsibility during his employment hereunder or that provides a product or service competitive with any product or service provided by the Company or its Affiliate or
(C) own an interest in any entity described in subsection (B) immediately above; provided, however, that Executive may own, as a passive investor, securities of any such entity that has outstanding publicly traded securities so long as his
direct holdings in any such entity shall not in the aggregate constitute more than 2% of the voting power of such entity. The Executive agrees that, before providing services, whether as an employee or


  
 4 








 
consultant, to any entity during the Non Compete Period, he will provide a copy of this Agreement to such entity and acknowledge, to the Company in writing, that he has done so. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, nothing in this Section 7 shall prevent the Executive from providing services to a division or a subsidiary of an entity that does not compete with the Company or any of its Affiliates and that does not provide products or
services competitive with products or services provided by the Company or any of its Affiliates even if other divisions or subsidiaries of that entity compete with the Company so long as the Executive does not have any managerial or supervisory
authority with respect to such competitive division or subsidiary. The Executive acknowledges that this covenant has a unique, very substantial and immeasurable value to the Company, that the Executive has sufficient assets and skills to provide a
livelihood for the Executive while such covenant remains in force and that, as a result of the foregoing, in the event that the Executive breaches such covenant, monetary damages would be an insufficient remedy for the Company and equitable
enforcement of the covenant would be proper. The Executive further covenants that he shall not challenge the reasonableness of any of the covenants set forth in this Section 7, but reserves the right to challenge the Company’s
interpretation of such covenants. 
 (ii) If the restrictions contained in Section 7(d)(i) shall be
determined by any court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable by reason of their extending for too great a period of time or over too great a geographical area or by reason of their being too extensive in any other respect,
Section 7(d)(i) shall be modified to be effective for the maximum period of time for which it may be enforceable and over the maximum geographical area as to which it may be enforceable and to the maximum extent in all other respects as to
which it may be enforceable. 
 (e) Publicity. During the Employment Period, the Executive hereby grants to the Company
the right to use, in a reasonable and appropriate manner, the Executive’s name and likeness, without additional consideration, on, in and in connection with technical, marketing or disclosure materials, or any combination thereof, published by
or for the Company or any of its Affiliates. 
 (f) Conflicting Obligations and Rights. The Executive represents and
warrants that he is not subject to agreement or contractual commitment that prevents or in any way limits his ability to fully discharge his duties and responsibilities hereunder and that he is not in possession of any confidential or proprietary
information of another Person that will be used in connection with the discharge of his duties hereunder. The Executive acknowledges and agrees that the accuracy of the foregoing representation and warranty is a condition precedent to the
enforceability of the Company’s obligations hereunder. 
 (g) Enforcement. The Executive acknowledges that in the
event of any breach of this Section 7, the business interests of the Company and its Affiliates will be irreparably injured, the full extent of the damages to the Company and its Affiliates will be impossible to ascertain, monetary damages will
not be an adequate remedy for the Company and its Affiliates, and the Company will be entitled to enforce this Agreement by a temporary, preliminary and/or permanent injunction or other equitable relief, without the necessity of posting bond or
security, which the Executive expressly waives. The Executive understands that the Company may waive 

  
 5 








 
some of the requirements expressed in this Agreement, but that such a waiver to be effective must be made in writing and should not in any way be deemed a waiver of the Company’s right to
enforce any other requirements or provisions of this Agreement. The Executive agrees that each of the Executive’s obligations specified in this Agreement is a separate and independent covenant and that the unenforceability of any of them shall
not preclude the enforcement of any other covenants in this Agreement. 
 8. Termination of Employment. The
Executive’s employment hereunder may be terminated during the Employment Period under the following circumstances: 
 (a)
Death. The Executive’s employment hereunder shall terminate upon the Executive’s death; 
 (b) By the
Company. The Company may terminate the Executive’s employment for: 
 (i) Disability. If the
Executive shall have been substantially unable to perform the Executive’s material duties hereunder by reason of illness, physical or mental disability or other similar incapacity, which inability shall continue for 90 consecutive days or 180
non-consecutive days in any 24-month period and which qualified Executive for long term disability coverage under applicable Company disability plans (a “Disability”); 

(ii) Cause. The Company may terminate the Executive’s employment for Cause as defined herein; or 

(iii) Without Cause. The Company may terminate the Executive’s employment without Cause at any time upon not
less than 90 days notice to the Executive. The Company’s Non-Renewal of the Initial Term or the Extended Term shall constitute a termination of the Executive’s employment by the Company without Cause, and the Company’s notice of
Non-Renewal pursuant to Section 2 hereof shall constitute notice of termination without Cause for purposes of this Section 8(b)(iii). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company’s Non-Renewal of the Initial Term or the Extended Term
shall constitute a termination of the Executive’s employment by the Company without Cause only if the Company determines that a “separation from service” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation l.409A-l(h) has occurred. 

(c) By the Executive. The Executive may terminate his employment with or without Good Reason upon not less than 90 days notice to
the Company. The Executive’s Non-Renewal of the Initial Term or the Extended Term shall constitute a termination of employment by the Executive without Good Reason, and the Executive’s notice of Non-Renewal pursuant to Section 2
hereof shall constitute notice of the Executive’s termination of his employment for purposes of this Section 8(c). During this 90-day notice period, the Company may, without breaching this Agreement or constituting Good Reason or a
Termination without Cause, relieve the Executive of his positions, titles, duties and responsibilities and direct the Executive to cease appearing on Company property. In addition, upon delivery of such Notice of Termination by the Executive, the
Executive shall be deemed to have resigned as a member of the Board. 

  
 6 








 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Executive’s Non-Renewal of the Initial Term or the Extended Term shall constitute a termination of employment by the Executive without Good Reason only if
the Company determines that a “separation from service” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation 1.409A-l(h) has occurred. Any termination of employment by the Executive prior to January 1, 2014 may not be treated as a termination
for Good Reason under clause (iv) of the definition thereof. 
 (d) Notice of Termination. Any termination of the
Employment Period, other than pursuant to the Executive’s death, shall be effected by delivery to the other party of a notice of termination (a “Notice of Termination”) from the party terminating the Employment Period.

 (e) Other Resignations. Upon any termination of the Executive’s employment, he shall automatically resign, and
shall automatically be deemed to have resigned, from all positions with the Company and its Affiliates, including his position as a member of the Board. 
 9. Compensation Upon Termination. 
 (a) Death. If the
Executive’s employment is terminated during the Employment Period as a result of the Executive’s death, this Agreement and the Employment Period shall terminate without further notice or any action required by the Company or the
Executive’s legal representatives. Upon the Executive’s death, the Company shall pay or provide the following: (i) the Company shall pay to the Executive’s legal representative or estate, as applicable, the Executive’s Base
Salary due through the Executive’s Date of Termination; (ii) the Company shall pay to the Executive’s legal representative or estate, as applicable, a pro rated portion (based on the percentage of the Company’s fiscal year

incentive bonus the Executive would have received for the fiscal year that contains the Date of Termination if his employment had not been terminated, as determined by the Board based on the Company’s performance to the Date of Termination
extrapolated through the end of such fiscal year; and (iii) the Company shall pay, at the time when such payments are due, to the Executive’s legal representative or estate, as applicable, the Accrued Benefits and the rights of the
Executive’s legal representative or estate with respect to any equity or equity-related awards shall be governed by the applicable terms of the related plan or award agreement. The total amount of the pro rated bonus described in clause
(ii) of the preceding sentence will be paid in a lump sum at the time the Company pays annual incentive bonuses under the Annual Plan to its similarly situated active employees for the fiscal year that contains the Date of Termination. Except
as set forth herein, the Company shall have no further obligation to the Executive under this Agreement. 
 (b)
Disability. If the Company terminates the Executive’s employment during the Employment Period because of the Executive’s Disability pursuant to Section 8(b)(i), (i) the Company shall pay to the Executive or the
Executive’s legal representative, as applicable, the Executive’s Base Salary due through the Executive’s Date of Termination, (ii) the Company shall pay to the Executive or the Executive’s legal representative, as
applicable, a pro rated portion (based on the percentage of the Company’s fiscal year preceding the Executive’s Date of Termination) of the average of (x) the annual incentive bonus earned by the Executive for the


  
 7 








 
fiscal year immediately preceding the fiscal year that contains the Date of Termination and (y) the annual incentive bonus the Executive would have received for the fiscal year that contains
the Date of Termination if his employment had not been terminated, as determined by the Board based on the Company’s performance to the Date of Termination extrapolated through the end of such fiscal year; and (iii) the Company shall pay
to the Executive or the Executive’s legal representative, as applicable, at the time when such payments are due, the Accrued Benefits and the rights of the Executive or the Executive’s legal representative, as applicable, with respect to
any equity or equity-related awards shall be governed by the applicable terms of the related plan or award agreement. The total amount of the pro rated bonus described in clause (ii) of the preceding sentence will be paid in a lump sum at the
time the Company pays annual incentive bonuses under the Annual Plan to its similarly situated active employees for the fiscal year that contains the Date of Termination. Except as set forth herein, the Company shall have no further obligation to
the Executive under this Agreement. 
 (c) Certain Terminations by the Company or Voluntarily by the Executive. If,
during the Employment Period, the Company terminates the Executive’s employment for Cause at any time or, prior to January 1, 2015, the Executive voluntarily terminates his employment other than for Good Reason, the Company shall pay to
the Executive the Executive’s Base Salary due through the Date of Termination and all Accrued Benefits, if any, to which the Executive is entitled as of the Date of Termination, at the time such payments are due, and the Executive’s rights
with respect to any equity or equity-related awards shall be governed by the applicable terms of the related plan or award agreement. 
 (d) Certain Terminations by the Company Other Than For Cause, Death or Disability, or by the Executive, Prior to a Change of Control. If the Company terminates the Executive’s employment
during the Employment Period other than for Cause or due to the Executive’s death or Disability, or if Executive terminates the Executive’s employment during the Employment Period for Good Reason or, on or after January 1, 2015, with
or without Good Reason (and his employment could not be terminated by the Company for Cause at such time), in either case at any time other than during the two year period following a Change of Control, then 

(i) Executive shall be entitled to an amount equal to (A) 2 times the Executive’s Base Salary in effect at the
Date of Termination (the “Base Component”) plus (B) 2 times the annual incentive bonus the Executive would have received for the fiscal year that contains the Date of Termination if his employment had not been terminated, as
determined by the Board based on the Company’s performance to the Date of Termination extrapolated through the end of such fiscal year (the “Bonus Component”, and together with the Base Component, the “Severance
Benefit”). The total amount of the Severance Benefit will be paid in equal, ratable installments in accordance with the Company’s regular payroll policies over the course of the Non-Compete Period; 

(ii) Executive shall be entitled to a pro rated portion (based on the percentage of the Company’s fiscal year

on the Company’s performance to the Date of 

  
 8 








 
Termination extrapolated through the end of such fiscal year. The total amount of the pro rated bonus described in the preceding sentence will be paid in a lump sum at the time the Company pays
annual incentive bonuses under the Annual Plan for such fiscal year to its similarly situated active employees; 

(iii) If the Executive is eligible for and elects continuation coverage pursuant to COBRA (with respect to the Executive
and/or the Executive’s dependents who are eligible to elect COBRA under the Company’s group health plan(s) as a direct result of the Executive’s termination of employment), the Company shall pay (as of the first of each applicable
month) the premiums for such coverage (or reimburse the Executive for such premiums) until the earlier to occur of (x) the end of the Non-Compete Period or (y) the date the Executive becomes eligible for coverage under another group health
plan; 
 (iv) Executive shall be entitled to continued payment of the Executive’s Company-provided car

 (e) Certain Terminations by the Company Other Than For Cause, Death or Disability, or by the Executive, Following a Change of Control. If the Company terminates the Executive’s employment
during the Employment Period other than for Cause or due to the Executive’s death or Disability, or if Executive terminates the Executive’s employment during the Employment Period for Good Reason or, on or after January 1, 2015, with

(i) Executive shall be entitled to an amount equal to (A) 2 times the Executive’s Base Salary in effect at the
Date of Termination plus (B) 2 times the annual incentive bonus the Executive would have received for the fiscal year that contains the Date of Termination if his employment had not been terminated, as determined by the Board based on the
Company’s performance to the Date of Termination extrapolated through the end of such fiscal year (the “Change of Control Severance Benefit”). To the extent that the Change of Control qualifies as a change in the ownership or
effective control of the Company or a change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Company within the meaning of U.S. Treasury Department Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(5), the total amount of the Change of Control
Severance Benefit will be paid in a lump sum as soon as administratively practicable following the Date of Termination and, in all other circumstances, the total amount of the Change of Control Severance Benefit will be paid in equal, ratable

 9 








 (ii) Executive shall be entitled to a pro rated portion (based on the

plan; 
 (iv) Executive shall be entitled to continued payment of the Executive’s Company-provided car
allowance, if any, for a period of twelve months from the termination date; 
 (v) The Company shall pay to the
Executive, at the time when such payments are due, the Accrued Benefits; and

 (f) Delay in Payments. Notwithstanding the preceding provisions or any provision in
this Agreement to the contrary, all payments pursuant hereto are intended to comply with Code Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and the guidance thereunder, and this Agreement shall be
construed accordingly. To the extent that compliance with Section 409A(a)(2)(B) would require any payment otherwise provided for by this Agreement to be delayed for six months, such payment shall be made as soon as administratively practicable
after the end of such six-month period. 
 (g) Liquidated Damages. The parties acknowledge and agree that damages which
will result to the Executive for termination by the Company of the Executive’s employment shall be extremely difficult or impossible to establish or prove, and agree that the amounts payable to the Executive under Section 9(d) or 9(e), as
applicable (the “Severance Payments”), shall constitute liquidated damages for any such termination. 
 (h)
Full Discharge of Company Obligations. In the event of any breach of this Agreement by the Company, the Executive shall be entitled to the lesser of (i) the amount of damages incurred by the Executive as a direct result of each breach
and (ii) the Severance Payments the Executive would be entitled to under Section 9(d) or 9(e), as applicable, if his 

  
 10 









 
employment were terminated thereunder. The amounts payable to Executive following termination of the Employment Period or upon or any actual or constructive termination of the Executive’s
employment pursuant to this Section 9 shall be in full and complete satisfaction of Executive’s rights under this Agreement and any other claims he may have in respect of his employment by the Company or any of its Affiliates, and
Executive acknowledges that such amounts are fair and reasonable, and his sole and exclusive remedy, in lieu of all other remedies at law or in equity, with respect to the termination of his employment hereunder. Payment of any Severance Payment
pursuant to Section 9(d) or 9(e), as applicable, shall be conditioned upon (x) Executive’s execution and non-revocation of a release in a form substantively identical in terms to the form attached as Exhibit A and
(y) Executive’s compliance with the provisions set forth in Section 7 hereof. 
 (i) Section 409A. To
the extent the Executive would be subject to the additional 20% tax imposed on certain deferred compensation arrangements pursuant to Section 409A of the Code as a result of any provision of this Agreement, such provision shall be deemed
amended to the minimum extent necessary to avoid application of such tax and the parties shall promptly execute any amendment reasonably necessary to implement this Section 9(i). 

10. Tax Gross Up. 
 (a) Anything in this Agreement or in any other agreement between the Company and the Executive or in any stock option or other benefit plan to the contrary notwithstanding, and except as set forth below,
in the event that it shall be determined that any payment or distribution by the Company to or for the benefit of the Executive (whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise,
but determined without regard to any additional payments required under this Section 10) (a “Payment”) would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code or any interest or penalties
are incurred by the Executive with respect to such excise tax (such excise tax, together with any such interest and penalties, are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Excise Tax”), then the Executive shall be entitled
to receive an additional payment (a “Gross-Up Payment”) in an amount such that after payment by the Executive of all taxes (including any interest or penalties imposed with respect to such taxes), including, without
limitation, any income taxes (and any interest and penalties imposed with respect thereto) and Excise Tax imposed upon the Gross-Up Payment, the Executive retains an amount of the Gross-Up Payment equal to the Excise Tax imposed upon the Payments.

 (b) All determinations required to be made under this Section 10, including whether and when a Gross-Up Payment is
required and the amount of such Gross-Up Payment and the assumptions to be utilized in arriving at such determinations, shall be made by a nationally recognized certified public accounting firm to be selected by the Company (the “Accounting
Firm”), which shall provide detailed supporting calculations both to the Company and the Executive within fifteen business days of the receipt of notice from the Executive that there has been a Payment, or such earlier time as is requested
by the Company. In the event that the Accounting Firm is serving as accountant or auditor for the individual, entity or group effecting the Change of Control, the Company shall appoint another nationally recognized accounting firm to make the
determinations required hereunder (which accounting firm shall then be referred to as the Accounting Firm hereunder). All fees and expenses of the Accounting

Firm shall be borne solely by the Company. Any Gross-Up Payment, as determined pursuant to this Section 10, shall be paid by the Company to the Executive as soon as administratively
practicable following the Company’s receipt of the Accounting Firm’s detailed calculations as described in this Section 10(b), but in no event later than the last day of the calendar year immediately following the calendar year in
which the Executive first remits the Payment to which the Gross-Up Payment relates. Any determination by the Accounting Firm shall be binding upon the Company and the Executive. 

(c) As a result of the uncertainty in the application of Section 4999 of the Code, it is possible that the amount of the Gross-Up
Payment determined by the Accounting Firm to be due to (or on behalf of) the Executive was lower than the amount actually due (“Underpayment”). In the event that the Company exhausts its remedies pursuant to Section 10(d) and
the Executive thereafter is required to make a payment of any Excise Tax, the Accounting Firm shall determine the amount of the Underpayment plus any interest and penalties incurred as a result of the Underpayment that has occurred and any such
Underpayment shall be promptly paid by the Company to or for the benefit of Executive. 
 (d) The Executive shall notify the
Company in writing of any claim by the Internal Revenue Service that, if successful, would require the payment by the Company of any Gross-Up Payment. Such notification shall be given as soon as practicable but no later than thirty calendar days
after the Executive is informed in writing of such claim and shall apprise the Company of the nature of such claim and the date on which such claim is requested to be paid. The Executive shall not pay such claim prior to the expiration of the
thirty-day period following the date on which he gives such notice to the Company (or such shorter period ending on the date that any payment of taxes with respect to such claim is due). If the Company notifies the Executive in writing prior to the
expiration of such period that it desires to contest such claim, the Executive shall (i) give the Company any information reasonably requested by the Company relating to such claim, (ii) take such action in connection with contesting such
claim as the Company shall reasonably request in writing from time to time, including, without limitation, accepting legal representation with respect to such claim by an attorney reasonably selected by the Company and reasonably acceptable to the
Executive, (iii) cooperate with the Company in good faith in order to effectively contest such claim and (iv) permit the Company to participate in any proceedings relating to such claim; provided, however, that the Company shall bear and
pay directly all costs and expenses (including additional interest and penalties) incurred in connection with such contest and shall indemnify and hold the Executive harmless, on an after-tax basis, for any Excise Tax or income or employment tax
(including interest and penalties with respect thereto) imposed as a result of such representation and payment of costs and expenses. Without limitation on the foregoing provisions of this Section 10, the Company shall control all proceedings
taken in connection with such contest and, at its sole option, may pursue or forego any and all administrative appeals, proceedings, hearings and conferences with the taxing authority in respect of such claim and may, at its sole option, either
direct the Executive to pay the tax claimed and sue for a refund or contest the claim in any permissible manner, and the Executive agrees to prosecute such contest to a determination before any administrative tribunal, in a court of initial
jurisdiction and in one or more appellate courts, as the Company shall determine; provided, further, that if the Company directs the Executive to pay such claim and sue for a refund, the Company shall advance the amount of such payment to the
Executive, on an interest-free basis, and shall indemnify and hold the Executive harmless, on an after-tax basis, 

  
 12 









 
from any Excise Tax or income or employment tax (including interest or penalties with respect thereto) imposed with respect to such advance or with respect to any imputed income with respect to
such advance; provided, further, that if the Executive is required to extend the statute of limitations to enable the Company to contest such claim, the Executive may limit this extension solely to such contested amount. The Company’s control
of the contest shall be limited to issues with respect to which a Gross-Up Payment would be payable hereunder and the Executive shall be entitled to settle or contest, as the case may be, any other issue raised by the Internal Revenue Service or any
other taxing authority. 
 11. Notices. All notices, demands, requests, or other communications which may be or are
required to be given or made by any party to any other party pursuant to this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be hand delivered, mailed by first-class registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, delivered by

return receipt, the delivery receipt, confirmation of facsimile transmission or the affidavit of messenger being deemed conclusive but not exclusive evidence of such delivery) or at such time as delivery is refused by the addressee upon
presentation.

shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect.

 15. Assignment. The rights and obligations of the parties to this Agreement shall not
be assignable or delegable, except that (i) in the event of the Executive’s death, the personal representative or legatees or distributees of the Executive’s estate, as the case may be, shall have the right to receive any amount owing
and unpaid to the Executive hereunder and (ii) the rights and obligations of the Company hereunder shall be assignable and delegable in connection with any subsequent merger, consolidation, sale of all or substantially all of the assets or
equity interests of the Company or similar transaction involving the Company or a successor corporation. The Company shall require any successor to the Company to expressly assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the
same extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place.

representatives, successors and assigns. 
 17. Amendment; Waiver. This Agreement shall not be amended, altered or
modified except by an instrument in writing duly executed by the party against whom enforcement is sought. Neither the waiver by either of the parties hereto of a breach of or a default under any of the provisions of this Agreement, nor the failure
of either of the parties, on one or more occasions, to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement or to exercise any right or privilege hereunder, shall thereafter be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach or default of a similar
nature, or as a waiver of any such provisions, rights or privileges hereunder. 
 18. Headings. Section and subsection
headings contained in this Agreement are inserted for convenience of reference only, shall not be deemed to be a part of this Agreement for any purpose, and shall not in any way define or affect the meaning, construction or scope of any of the
provisions hereof. 
 19. Governing Law. This Agreement, the rights and obligations of the parties hereto, and any claims
or disputes relating thereto, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Indiana (but not including any choice of law rule thereof that would cause the laws of another jurisdiction to apply). Except as otherwise
provided in Section 7(g), each of the parties agrees that any dispute between the parties shall be resolved only in the courts of the State of Indiana or the United States District Court for the Northern District of Indiana and the appellate
courts having jurisdiction of appeals in such courts. In that context, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing (but subject to Section 7(g)), each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally (a) submits for himself
or itself in any proceeding relating to this Agreement or Executive’s employment by the Company or any of its Affiliates, or for the recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof (a “Proceeding”), to
the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Indiana, the court of the United States of America for the Northern District of Indiana, and appellate courts having jurisdiction of appeals from any of the foregoing, and agrees that all
claims in respect of any such Proceeding shall be heard and determined in such Indiana State court or, to the extent permitted by law, in such federal court; (b) consents that any such Proceeding may and shall be brought in such courts and
waives any objection that he or it may now or thereafter have to the venue or jurisdiction of any such Proceeding in any such court or that such Proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court


  
 14 









 
and agrees not to plead or claim the same; (c) waives all right to trial by jury in any Proceeding (whether based on contract, tort or otherwise) arising out of or relating to this Agreement
or Executive’s employment by the Company or any of its Affiliates, or his or its performance under or the enforcement of this Agreement; (d) agrees that service of process in any such Proceeding may be effected by mailing a copy of such
process by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to such party at his or its address as provided in Section 11; and (e) agrees that nothing in this Agreement shall affect the right to
effect service of process in any other manner permitted by the laws of the State of Indiana.
