 BIOVENTUS LLC 

MANAGEMENT INCENTIVE PLAN 

AWARD AGREEMENT 

This Bioventus LLC Management Incentive Plan Award Agreement (this “Award Agreement”), dated as of December 2, 2013 (the
“Effective Date”), is delivered by Bioventus LLC (the “Company”) to Anthony P. Bihl III (the “Grantee”) 

RECITALS 
 A. The
Bioventus LLC Management Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) provides for the grant of Profits Interest Units in the Company in accordance with the terms of the Plan and the Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of
the Company, as amended (the “LLC Agreement”). The Administrator (as defined in the Plan) has granted the Award (as defined below) to encourage the Grantee to contribute materially to the growth of the Company’s owners, thereby
benefitting the Company, and to align the economic interests of the Grantee with those of the owners. A copy of the Plan is attached. All capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meaning given to such terms in the Plan or, if not defined
in the Plan, in the LLC Agreement. 
 B. The Administrator shall administer the Plan. 

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties to this Award Agreement, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows: 

1. Grant of Management Incentive Award. 

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Award Agreement, the Plan, and the LLC Agreement, the Company hereby grants to the
Grantee 333,330 Profits Interest Units (the “Award”). This Award Agreement (which is effective as of the Effective Date), the Plan, and the LLC Agreement govern the terms of the grant of the Award. 

(b) The Award is intended to qualify as “profits interests” within the meaning of Revenue Procedure
93-27 as clarified by Revenue Procedure 2001-43. The Award shall become vested according to Section 2 below. 

2. Vesting of Awarded Units. 
 (a)
The Award shall vest in accordance with the following schedule (each date described below, a “Vesting Date”), if the Grantee is employed by the Company on the applicable Vesting Date. 

 

			
	 Applicable Date
	  	Vesting Percentage
		
	 1st anniversary of the Effective
Date
	  	25%
		
	 First day of each quarter following the 1st
anniversary of the Effective Date
	  	6.25%

 (b) Upon termination of the employment of the Grantee for any reason, (i) any portion of the Award that
is vested shall be subject to a repurchase right as set forth in the Plan and (ii) any portion of the Award that is unvested shall be forfeited on the date of such termination. Notwithstanding any provision of this Award, the Plan or the LLC
Agreement to the contrary, if the Grantee terminates employment due to his retirement on or after the fifth anniversary of the Effective Date, the Grantee shall have the right to require the Company to repurchase the vested portion of the Award at
the fair market value on the date of termination, provided that the Grantee exercises such put right within 120 days of such termination of employment. For the purposes of this put right, “fair market value” shall be determined based
upon going concern value in an arms-length transaction, with no illiquidity or transferability discounts, either (i) as determined in good faith by the Administrator, but in no event shall such value be less than the value determined by
multiplying the annualized EBITDA for the most recently completed six month period prior to the repurchase, by the EBITDA multiple applicable in that certain transaction among Smith & Nephew, Inc. and various entities denominated as
“Beluga” or (ii) by a mutually acceptable independent qualified third party appraisal mechanism. Payment in full shall be made at the time of the repurchase.

 (c) Upon a Waterfall Distribution Event that occurs prior to the termination of employment of
the Grantee, the Board shall determine, in its sole discretion, whether any portion of the Award that is unvested shall vest. 
 3. Issuance of
Profits Interest Units. 
 (a) The obligation of the Company to deliver the Profits Interest Units shall be subject to all
applicable laws, rules, and regulations and such approvals by governmental agencies as may be deemed appropriate by the Administrator, including such actions as Company counsel shall deem necessary or appropriate to comply with relevant securities
laws and regulations. 
 (b) All obligations of the Company under this Agreement shall be subject to the rights of the Company to withhold
amounts required to be withheld for any taxes, if applicable. 
 (c) The Grantee shall have no balance in his Capital Account immediately
after receipt of this Award. The Grantee shall receive allocations and distributions of the Company’s profits and losses based upon the terms of the Plan, and the LLC Agreement and based upon a Benchmark Amount equal to $231,372,549.02, subject
to adjustment as provided in the LLC Agreement. 
 4. Transfer; Repurchase Right. As a condition of receiving the Award, the Grantee hereby
agrees that any Profits Interest Units issued hereby shall be subject to the transfer restrictions and repurchase rights described herein, in the Plan, and in the LLC Agreement. 

5. Restrictions on Transfer. Only the Grantee has any rights under this Award. The Grantee may not transfer those rights, directly or
indirectly, except by will or the laws of descent and distribution. 
 6. Award Subject to Plan and LLC Agreement Provisions. This Award is
made pursuant to the Plan and the LLC Agreement, the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference, and in all respects shall be interpreted in accordance with the Plan and the LLC Agreement; provided that, in the event of a conflict between
the Plan or LLC Agreement and this Award Agreement, this Award Agreement shall control.1 The Administrator shall have the full power and authority to administer and interpret the Plan and this
Award Agreement, to make factual determinations, and to adopt or amend such rules, regulations, agreements, and instruments for implementing the Plan and this Award Agreement and for the conduct of its business as it deems necessary or advisable.
All powers of the Administrator shall be executed without the approval or consent of the Grantee. 
 7. No Employment or Other Rights.
This Award Agreement is not an agreement of employment and the grant of this Award shall not confer upon the Grantee any right to be retained by or in the employ of the Company and shall not interfere in any way with the right of the Company to
terminate the Grantee’s employment at any time. The right of the Company, as applicable, to terminate at will the Grantee’s employment at any time for any reason is specifically reserved. The grant of this Award shall not entitle the
Grantee to any (i) voting rights with respect to any action or decision taken or made (or to be taken or made) by the Company or the Board of Managers, (ii) right to appoint Managers to the Board of Managers, or (iii) appraisal or
preemption rights.

May 4, 2012 or attached to that certain side letter entered into on May 4,2012 or any subsequent award agreement that is approved by the Board and Smith & Nephew, Inc. in accordance with Section 10(b) of the Plan.

requirements of any applicable law or regulation. Before amending or terminating the Plan or this Award to meet the requirements of an applicable law or regulation, the Administrator will attempt to bring the Plan or Award into compliance with the
applicable law or regulation without reducing the benefits or payments to the Grantee to the greatest extent possible. If amendment or termination is still necessary and adversely impacts the rights of the Grantee, the Administrator will reasonably
