 2012 Long-Term Incentive Plan 
 This Restricted Stock Grant Agreement (the “Agreement”) is made this             day of
            (the “Grant Date”) between Orthofix International N.V., a Curacao company (the “Company”), and the person signing this Agreement
adjacent to the caption “Award Recipient” on the signature page hereof (the “Award Recipient”). Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings attributed thereto in the Orthofix
International N.V. 2012 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). 
 WHEREAS, pursuant to the Plan, the
Company desires to afford the Award Recipient the opportunity to acquire Common Shares on the terms and conditions set forth herein; 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in connection with the mutual covenants hereinafter set forth and for other good and valuable consideration, the parties hereto agree as follows: 

1. Grant of Restricted Stock. 
 (a) Number of Shares/Vesting. The Company hereby grants to the Award Recipient, on the Grant Date, an Award of
            shares of Stock (“Common Shares”) under the Plan subject to the vesting schedule and terms and conditions set forth below (the
“Restricted Stock”). Subject to earlier termination in accordance with the Plan or this Agreement and the terms and conditions herein, Restricted Stock granted under this Agreement shall vest with respect to
            % of the shares covered hereby on each of the             anniversaries of the [Grant Date / Vesting Start Date]
(each, a “Vesting Date”); provided, however, for the avoidance of doubt, that there shall be no proportionate or partial vesting in the periods prior to or between each Vesting Date. [For purposes of this Agreement,
“Vesting Start Date” shall mean             .] 

(b) Additional Documents. The Award Recipient agrees to execute such additional documents and complete and execute such
forms as the Company may require for purposes of this Agreement. 
 (c) Issuance of Restricted Stock; Dividend and
Distribution Rights. Upon the vesting of any Restricted Stock pursuant to the terms hereof, the restrictions of Sections 1(a) and 3 shall lapse with respect to such vested Restricted Stock. The issuance of the Restricted Stock under
this grant shall be evidenced in such a manner as the Company, in its discretion, will deem appropriate, including, without limitation, book-entry registration or issuance of one or more stock certificates. As the Award Recipient’s vests as
described above, the recordation of the number of Common Shares attributable to such Award Recipient will be appropriately modified. 
 2. Incorporation of Plan. The Award Recipient acknowledges receipt of the Plan, a copy of which is annexed hereto, and represents that he or she is familiar with its terms and provisions and
hereby accepts this grant of Restricted Stock subject to all of the terms and provisions of the Plan and all interpretations, amendments, rules and regulations which may, from time to time, be promulgated and adopted pursuant to the Plan. The Plan
is incorporated herein by reference. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the Plan and this Agreement, the Plan shall govern and this Agreement shall be interpreted to minimize or eliminate any such conflict or inconsistency.

 3. Restrictions on Transfer. To the extent not yet vested, the Restricted Stock may not be sold,
transferred, assigned, pledged or otherwise encumbered or disposed of, whether by operation of law or otherwise. 

4. Notification of Election Under Section 83(b) of the Code. Under Section 83 of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended (the “Code”), the difference between the purchase price paid for the Restricted Stock (i.e., zero), and the fair market value of shares on the date any forfeiture restrictions lapse with respect to such
shares, will be reportable as ordinary income at that time. applicable to it. An Award Recipient may elect to be taxed at the time the shares are acquired, rather than when such shares cease to be subject to such forfeiture restrictions, by filing
an election under Section 83(b) of the Code with thirty days after the Grant Date. In such event, the Award Recipient will have to make a tax payment based on the fair market value of the shares on the Grant Date being treated as ordinary
income. The form for making this election is attached as Exhibit A hereto. Failure to make this filing within the thirty (30) day period will result in the recognition of ordinary income by the Award Recipient as the forfeiture restrictions
lapse. 







 BY SIGNING THIS AGREEMENT, THE AWARD RECIPIENT ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT IS HIS OR HER SOLE
RESPONSIBILITY, AND NOT THE COMPANY’S, TO FILE A TIMELY ELECTION UNDER SECTION 83(b), EVEN IF THE AWARD RECIPIENT REQUESTS THE COMPANY OR ITS REPRESENTATIVES TO MAKE THIS FILING ON HIS OR HER BEHALF. THE AWARD RECIPIENT AGREES AND ACKNOWLEDGES
THAT HE OR SHE IS RELYING SOLELY ON HIS OR HER OWN ADVISORS WITH RESPECT TO THE DECISION AS TO WHETHER OR NOT TO FILE ANY 83(b) ELECTION. 
 5. Termination of Service. 
 (a) Termination of Service Other
than for Cause, Death, Disability or Voluntary Termination. If, prior to vesting, the Award Recipient’s Service is terminated or the Optionee retires in accordance with the Company’s retirement policies, the Restricted Stock shall
be considered vested as of the date of such termination of Service with respect to the aggregate number of Common Shares as to which the Restricted Stock would have been vested as of December 31 of the year in which such termination of Service
occurs. The unvested portion of the Restricted Stock shall be forfeited by the Award Recipient and cancelled by the Company as of the date of the Award Recipient’s termination of Service, and the Award Recipient shall have no further right or
interest therein. In no event shall this Section 5(a) apply if the termination of Service is (i) for Cause, (ii) by reason of death or Disability or (iii) as a result of a Voluntary Termination. 

(b) Termination of Service for Cause; Voluntary Termination. If, prior to vesting, (i) the Award Recipient’s
Service is terminated by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for Cause, or (ii) the Award Recipient terminates Service under circumstances constituting a Voluntary Termination, the unvested portion of the Restricted Stock shall be forfeited
by the Award Recipient and cancelled by the Company as of the date of the Award Recipient’s termination of Service, and the Award Recipient shall have no further right or interest therein unless the Committee in its sole discretion shall
determine otherwise. 
 (c) Termination of Service for Death or Disability. If the Award Recipient’s Service
terminates by reason of death or Disability, the Restricted Stock shall automatically vest in full as of the date of the Award Recipient’s termination of Service. 
 (d) Effect of Employment Agreements Generally. The Company and the Award Recipient agree that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Employment Agreement, the terms of an
Employment Agreement expressly defining whether and in what manner (including upon termination of employment) the unvested portion of the Restricted Stock shall vest shall not control over the terms of this Agreement, and shall be disregarded
in their entirety with respect to the terms of this Award. 
 6 Change in Control. Upon the occurrence of a Change
in Control, the Restricted Stock shall automatically vest in full. 
 7. Withholding. The Award Recipient (or
following the Award Recipient’s death, the Award Recipient’s estate, personal representative, or beneficiary, as applicable) shall be liable for any and all U.S. federal, state or local taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with
respect to the vesting of Restricted Stock, as well as for any and all applicable withholding tax requirements of any other country or jurisdiction. When the Restricted Stock vests, the Company shall cause the Award Recipient (or following the
Award Recipient’s death, the Award Recipient’s estate, personal representative, or beneficiary, as applicable) to satisfy all of his or her tax withholding obligations by having the Company withhold a number of Common Shares that would
otherwise become vested having a Fair Market Value (as of the close of business on the Vesting Date) not in excess of the minimum amount of tax withholding obligations required by law to be withheld with respect to such vesting. 







 8. No Employment or Other Rights. This grant of Restricted Stock does not
confer upon the Award Recipient any right to be continued in the employment of, or otherwise provide Services to, the Company or any Subsidiary or other affiliate thereof, or interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company or any
Subsidiary or other affiliate thereof to terminate such Award Recipient’s employment or other service relationship at any time. For purposes of this Agreement only, the term “employment” shall include circumstances under which
Award Recipient provides consulting or other Services to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries as an independent contractor, but such Award Recipient is not, nor shall be considered, an employee; provided, however, nothing in this Section 8 or
this Agreement shall create an employment relationship between such person and the Company or its applicable Subsidiary, as the usages described in this Section are for convenience only. 

9. Adjustment of and Changes in Common Shares. In the event of any merger, consolidation, recapitalization, reclassification,
stock dividend, extraordinary dividend, or other event or change in corporate structure affecting the Common Shares, the Committee shall make such adjustments, if any, as it deems appropriate in the number and class of shares subject to the
Restricted Stock. The foregoing adjustments shall be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion. 
 10. Rights
as a Shareholder. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Award Recipient shall have all rights of a stockholder with respect to the Restricted Stock granted under this Agreement, including voting rights. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, dividends with respect to any Restricted Stock granted under this Agreement shall accrue, but shall not be paid, until the Award Recipient shall become the holder of record thereof, and no adjustment shall be made for dividends or
distributions or other rights in respect of any Restricted Stock for which the record date is prior to the date upon which the Award Recipient shall become the holder of record thereof. 

11. Discretionary Nature of Plan. The Plan is discretionary in nature, and the Company may suspend, modify, amend or
terminate the Plan in its sole discretion at any time, subject to the terms of the Plan and any applicable limitations imposed by law. This Restricted Stock grant under the Plan is a one-time benefit and does not create any contractual or other
right to receive additional Restricted Stock or other benefits in lieu of Restricted Stock in the future. Future grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Committee, including, but not limited to, the timing of any grant, the number
of shares of Restricted Stock granted, and the vesting provisions.

with the United States Postal Service, by registered or certified mail, with postage and fees prepaid, and shall be addressed to the Company at its principal executive office and to the Award Recipient at the address that he or she has most recently
provided to the Company. Any notice given electronically shall be deemed effective on the date of transmission. 

(c) Headings. The headings of sections and subsections are included solely for convenience of reference and shall not
affect the meaning of the provisions of this Agreement. 
 (d) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two
or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument.

with the provisions of Sections 5.3 and 18.10 of the Plan, and any alteration or amendment of the terms of this grant of Restricted Stock by the Board or the Committee shall, upon adoption, become and be binding on all persons affected thereby
without requirement for consent or other action with respect thereto by any such person. The Committee shall give notice to the Award Recipient of any such alteration or amendment as promptly as practicable after the adoption thereof. The foregoing
shall not restrict the ability of the Award Recipient and the Board or the Committee by mutual written consent to alter or amend the terms of this grant of Restricted Stock in any manner which is consistent with the Plan. 







 (f) Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon the heirs, executors,
administrators and successors of the Award Recipient and the Company.

respect thereto. In the event the Award Recipient has an Employment Agreement, any conflicts or ambiguities shall be resolved first by reference to the Plan, then to this Agreement, and finally to the Employment Agreement. In the event
such conflict or ambiguity cannot be resolved by reference to the Plan, reference shall be made to this Agreement. Finally, and only in the event such conflict or ambiguity cannot be resolved by reference to the Plan and this Agreement,

employment or similar agreement entered into outside the United States solely for purposes of complying with local law requirements with respect to employment. For purposes of this Agreement only and subject to Section 8, the term
“Employment Agreement” shall include a written agreement under which the Award Recipient provides consulting or other services as an independent contractor to the Company. 

“Voluntary Termination” shall occur when the Award Recipient voluntarily ceases Service for any reason or no
reason (e.g., the Award Recipient elects to cease being an employee or director or provide consulting services or the Award Recipient resigns or quits). For the avoidance of doubt, a Voluntary Termination shall not occur as a result of
termination of Service as a result of death, Disability (as provided hereunder), or termination for “good reason” or similar words (as permitted hereunder and pursuant to an Employment Agreement) or as the result of the Optionee’s
retirement in accordance with the Company’s retirement policies.
