		1.	Employment.

 

Employer hereby employs Employee
and Employee hereby accepts employment upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement effective July 31, 2014.

 

		2.	Term of Agreement.

 

Subject to the provisions for
termination hereinafter provided, the Term of this Agreement shall commence on July 31, 2014, and continue for a Term of three
(3) years. Thereafter, this Agreement shall automatically renew for successive one (1) year Terms, unless notification
of intent not to renew is provided in writing by either party to the other party thirty (30) days prior to the end of the
Term then in effect.

 

		3.	Duties and Responsibilities.

 

As of July 31, 2014 and
for the Term of this Agreement, Employee shall perform the duties of General Counsel & Vice President of Legal and Human
Resources. Employee shall execute and perform all duties related and necessary to his position(s) as determined by Employer. Employee
agrees to abide by all by-laws, policies, practices, procedures, and rules of Employer.

 

Employee shall devote all of
his professional time, efforts, skill and ability to the business of Employer, and shall not, during the Term of this Agreement,
be engaged in any other business activity, whether or not such business activity is pursued for gain, profit or other pecuniary
advantage, unless Employee has obtained the prior written approval of Employer. Further, this Paragraph 3 shall not prevent
Employee from participating in charitable or other not-for-profit activities as long as such activities do not materially interfere
with Employee’s work for Employer.

 

		4.	Business Opportunities.

 

Employee will take no action
that deprives Employer of any business opportunities within the scope of Employee’s existing duties and, should Employee
be offered or become aware of any such opportunities, Employee shall advise Employer in writing, and Employer shall have the right
of first refusal before Employee pursues such opportunity.

 

		5.	Compensation.

 

Employer shall compensate Employee
for services performed during the Term of this Agreement as follows:

 

     

     

    

 

		A.	Annual Salary. Employer shall pay Employee a total Annual Salary at the rate of One Hundred
Eighty Five Thousand and Four Hundred Dollars ($185,400) (minus all applicable deductions and withholdings, including federal,
state, and local taxes, and FICA) per year, payable in accordance with Employer’s normal payroll policies. Subsequent to
the initial Term of this Agreement, Employer shall review the Annual Salary at a minimum of once per Term for increase consideration.

 

		B.	Bonus Eligibility. Employee shall be eligible to earn bonus compensation as determined by
the Employer’s Compensation Committee (the “Bonus”). Unless expressly provided otherwise in the Bonus program
document, and except as otherwise provided in Section 10.B below, Employee must remain employed by Employer on the date of
payment to earn and become entitled to receive payment of any such Bonus.

 

		C.	Benefits. Employee shall be entitled to all benefits provided to similarly situated full-time
employees of Employer, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the benefit programs and Employer’s policies, excluding
any severance pay program or similar termination benefits. This currently includes, but is not limited to, paid holidays, paid
vacation and health and welfare benefits. Employee understands and agrees that all benefits are subject to change from time to
time at the sole discretion of Employer.

 

		6.	Expense Reimbursement.

 

Employer shall reimburse Employee
for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses that are incurred by Employee in providing services to Employer hereunder; provided,
however, that Employee provides Employer with reasonable documentation necessary to support such expenses. All expense reimbursement
shall be paid to Employee consistent with Employer’s expense reimbursement policy, in effect from time to time.

 

		7.	Confidential Information and Return of Property.

 

Employee acknowledges that in
the course of his employment with Employer, he will occupy a position of trust and confidence and will have access to and may develop
Confidential Information of actual or potential value to, or otherwise useful to, Employer. “Confidential Information”
means information that the Employer owns or possesses, that it uses or is potentially useful in its business, that it treats as
proprietary, private or confidential, and that is not generally known to the public, including, but not limited to, trade secrets
(as defined by the Indiana Trade Secrets Act, Ind. Code sec. 24-2-3-1, et. seq.), information relating to the
Employer’s business plans, financial condition, operating and other costs, sales, pricing, marketing, ideas, research records,
plans for service improvements and development, lists of actual or potential customers, actual and potential customer usage and
requirements, customer records, lists of referral sources, referral source records, information on product and product development,
inventions, trade secrets, and any other information which derives independent economic value, either actual or potential. Information
supplied to Employee from outside sources and/or third parties will also be presumed to be Confidential Information unless and
until Employer designates it otherwise.

 

    	 	2	 

     

    

 

Employee agrees to use Confidential
Information solely in the course of his duties as an employee of Employer and in furtherance of Employer’s business. Employee
hereby further agrees that the above-referenced information will be kept confidential at all times during the Term of this Agreement
and thereafter, that he will not disclose or communicate to any third party any of the Confidential Information and will not make
use of the Confidential Information on his own behalf or on the behalf of a third party.

 

Employee agrees that all Confidential
Information is and shall remain the exclusive property of Employer. Employee agrees to return to Employer on or before Employee’s
termination of employment with Employer all Employer property, information and documents, including and without limitation, all
reports, files, memoranda, records, software, hardware, credit cards, keys, computer access codes or disks, instruction or operational
manuals, handbooks or manuals, written financial information, business plans or other physical and personal property which Employee
received or prepared or helped prepare in connection with his employment with Employer; and Employee agrees that he will not retain
any copies, duplicates, reproductions or excerpts thereof.

 

		8.	Restrictive Covenant.

 

Employee acknowledges and agrees
that in consideration of Employee signing this Agreement and agreeing to its provisions, including the provisions set forth in
this Section 8, Employer is paying Employee severance benefits upon termination by Employer without Cause pursuant to Section 10B
hereof. Employee also acknowledges and agrees that such consideration is (a) adequate consideration to support the restrictive
covenant set forth herein, (b) different from and in addition to any payment or benefits that Employee already was receiving
or had any preexisting right to receive, and (c) consideration that Employee would not receive or have any right to receive
if Employee were to choose not to sign this Agreement. Employee acknowledges that during his employment with Employer, Employee
will have extensive access to Employer’s Confidential Information and may develop business relationships with Employer’s
customers. As a result of the extensive access to Confidential Information and the development of business relationships, Employee
agrees that during the Term of this Agreement, and for a period of one (1) year from the date of Employee’s termination
of employment, Employee shall not, without the prior written consent of Employer, directly or indirectly, for himself or on behalf
of any other person, entity or vendor:

 

		A.	Employ, solicit, contact, or communicate with, for the purpose of hiring, employing or engaging,
any individual who is an employee, commissioned agent, or independent contractor of Employer, or who has been, within the twelve
(12) month period immediately preceding Employee’s termination of employment.

 

    	 	3	 

     

    

 

		B.	Compete with Employer by participating in any manner in the provision of the business Employee
conducted on behalf of Employer, including, but not limited to, the design, manufacture or marketing of orthopedic products for
children, for any entity or company, or establish a financial interest in (as an owner, stockholder, partner, lender, or other
investor, director, officer, employee, independent contractor, consultant, agent or otherwise) any entity or company, which is
in direct or indirect competition with the business interests of Employer with respect to the design, manufacture or marketing
of orthopedic products for children, to the extent such entity or company operates within the geographical area:

 

		1.	Where Employer (a) conducts its business activity on the date of Employee’s termination,
or (b) contemplated conducting its business activity at any time during the twelve (12) month period immediately preceding
Employee’s termination of employment; and

 

		2.	Where Employee (a) did business on behalf of Employer at the time of Employee’s termination
of employment, or at any time during the twelve (12) month period immediately preceding Employee’s termination of employment,
or (b) which Employee had access to any Confidential Information regarding.

 

		C.	Contact, canvas, solicit, or accept business with respect to the sale, design, manufacture or marketing
of orthopedic products for children from any Customer or Potential Customer of Employer if such business would be of the type then
being carried on by Employer and which was performed by Employee on behalf of Employer.

 

		D.	Induce, cause, advise, or otherwise influence any Customer or Potential Customer of Employer to
cease doing business with Employer.

 

The term “Customer”
as used herein shall refer to any entity or company: (1) who Employer provides services or products to at the time of Employee’s
termination of employment or at any time during the twelve (12) month period immediately preceding Employee’s termination
of employment; and (2) which Employee did business with on behalf of Employer at the time of Employee’s termination
of employment or at any time during the twelve (12) month period immediately preceding Employee’s termination of employment,
or which Employee had access to any Confidential Information regarding.

 

The term “Potential Customer”
as used herein shall refer to any entity or company: (1) who Employer has solicited, approached, or contracted concerning
the possibility of doing business at the time of Employee’s termination of employment or at any time during the twelve (12) month
period immediately preceding Employee’s termination of employment; and (2) which Employee was involved in any such solicitation,
approach or contact, or which Employee had access to any Confidential Information regarding.

 

Employee acknowledges and agrees
that the restricted period of time, the geographical scope, and the definitions of “Customer” and “Potential
Customer” as used in this Paragraph 8 are reasonable.

 

    	 	4	 

     

    

 

		9.	Breach of Agreement.

 

		A.	Employee acknowledges that any breach of Paragraphs 7 or 8 of this Agreement, including all
subparagraphs thereof, by Employee may cause irreparable damage to Employer and that the legal remedies available to Employer will
be inadequate. Therefore, in the event of any threatened or actual breach of Paragraphs 7 or 8 of this Agreement by Employee,
Employee agrees that Employer shall be entitled to specific enforcement of this Agreement through injunctive or other equitable
relief in addition to legal remedies, without the need for posting bond. If Employee is found, by a court of competent jurisdiction,
to have breached any of the terms of Paragraphs 7 or 8 of this Agreement, Employee agrees to pay Employer reasonable attorney’s
fees and costs incurred in seeking relief from Employee’s breach of Paragraphs 7 or 8 of this Agreement, including all
subparagraphs thereof. Further, the restricted periods of time in Paragraph 8 of this Agreement shall be extended by one additional
day for each day a court of competent jurisdiction finds Employee to have been in breach of Paragraph 8 of this Agreement.

 

		B.	Employee and Employer hereby submit to the jurisdiction and venue of the Marion County, Indiana
Courts and the United States District Court for the Southern District of Indiana, as applicable, in any cause of action, claim,
controversy, or dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the breach thereof, including those identified in Paragraph 9.A
of this Agreement, and hereby waive any right to a jury trial.

 

		10.	Termination and Severance Benefits.

 

		A.	Termination by Employer for Cause or Resignation by Employee without Good Reason, or due to
Employee’s Death or Disability. The Term and Employee’s employment hereunder may be terminated by Employer for
Cause and shall terminate automatically upon Employee’s resignation without Good Reason; provided, that Employee
will be required to give Employer at least thirty (30) days’ advance written notice of a resignation without Good Reason.
In addition, the Term and Employee’s employment hereunder may be terminated by Employer upon the Employee’s Disability,
and shall terminate automatically upon Employee’s death (for purposes of clarity, Employee and Employer acknowledge and agree
that a termination due to Disability or death shall not constitute a termination without Cause for purposes of Paragraph 10.B
below). Upon termination for Cause or resignation without Good Reason, or termination due to Disability or death, Employee shall
only receive the portion of his Annual Salary earned through the Termination Date and such employee benefits, if any, as to which
Employee may be entitled under the terms of the applicable plans (the amounts of Annual Salary and any such employee benefits being
referred to as “Accrued Compensation”).

 

    	 	5	 

     

    

 

For the purposes of this Agreement,
“Termination Date” shall mean the actual date that Employee’s employment with the Employer and its affiliates
terminates for any reason.

 

As used in this Agreement “Cause”
exists in the event of:

 

		1.	An act or omission by the Employee that constitutes deliberate or willful misconduct, a breach
of fiduciary trust for the purpose of gaining a personal profit, or a violation of any law, rule or regulation;

 

		2.	An act or omission by the Employee that materially and adversely affects the best interests of
the Employer;

 

		3.	An act or omission by the Employee that, under the circumstances, would make it unreasonable to
expect Employer to continue to employ the Employee, including without limitation, (i) the commission of any crime (other than
minor vehicular violations), (ii) the commission or attempted commission of any act of fraud, embezzlement, neglect or negligence
in the performance of Employee’s duties or (iii) any act of malfeasance, substance abuse, sexual harassment, discrimination,
or moral turpitude that, in Employer’s reasonable judgment, reflects adversely on the reputation of Employer;

 

		4.	Material breach of any provision of this Agreement by Employee; or

 

		5.	Willful and continued failure to perform substantially Employee’s duties if such failure
continues for a period of thirty (30) calendar days after Employer delivers to Employee a written demand for substantial performance,
specifically identifying in such written demand the manner in which Employee has not substantially performed his duties.

 

As used in this Agreement, “Disability”
shall mean that Employee, because of accident, disability, or physical or mental illness, is incapable of performing Employee’s
duties to Employer or any affiliate, as determined by the Employer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Employee will be deemed to have
become incapable of performing Employee’s duties to Employer or any affiliate if (A) Employee is incapable of so doing
for (1) a continuous period of ninety (90) days and remains so incapable at the end of such ninety (90) day period
or (2) periods amounting in the aggregate to ninety (90) days within any one period of one hundred twenty (120) days
and remains so incapable at the end of such aggregate period of one hundred twenty (120) days, (B) Employee qualifies
to receive long-term disability payments under the long-term disability insurance program, as it may be amended from time to time,
covering employees of Employer or an affiliate to which the Employee provides services or (C) Employee is determined to be
totally disabled by the Social Security Administration.

 

    	 	6	 

     

    

 

		B.	Termination by Employer without Cause. Employer may immediately terminate Employee’s
employment without Cause. If, during the Term of this Agreement, Employee’s employment is terminated by Employer without
Cause (other than due to death or Disability), including if Employer declines to renew the Term of the Agreement, then Employee
shall be entitled to receive the Accrued Compensation. In addition, subject to Employee’s continuing compliance with the
covenants contained in Paragraphs 7 and 8 of this Agreement and any other similar applicable restrictive covenants with Employer
or an affiliate, and the execution by Employee of a binding general waiver and release of claims in a form acceptable to Employer
(the “Release”) within the time period specified by Employer at the time of the Termination Date (which shall be no
longer than 50 days after the Termination Date) and the expiration of any applicable revocation period with respect to the
Release, if Employee’s employment terminates pursuant to this Paragraph 10.B, then Employee shall be entitled to receive:

 

		1.	Payment of the Bonus, if any, that was earned by Employee in any fiscal year ending prior to the
Termination Date but remains unpaid as of the Termination Date, payable in a lump sum within seventy (70) days after the Termination
Date.

 

		2.	A pro-rated Bonus, if any, upon the satisfaction of any pre-established performance objectives
at the end of the applicable bonus performance period; such payable pro-rata portion of the Bonus shall be determined by multiplying
the Bonus amount by a fraction equal to the number of days of Employee’s employment during such applicable performance period
divided by the total number of days in the applicable performance period. Payment of any pro-rated Bonus under this paragraph
shall be made in the calendar year following the year in which the services were performed, when bonuses are generally paid to
similarly situated employees.

 

		3.	An amount equal to twelve (12) months of the Employee’s then-current Annual Salary,
payable in twelve (12) substantially equal monthly installments commencing with the first regular payroll period following
the expiration of any applicable revocation period with respect to the Release, and in any event, if at all, within seventy (70) days
after the Termination Date.

 

    	 	7	 

     

    

 

		4.	provided that Employee elects, and to the extent that he is and remains eligible for, continuation
coverage under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 (“COBRA”) and Employer’s group health
plan, payment of that part of the COBRA premiums for such continued coverage of Employee (and, if applicable as of the Termination
Date, his dependents) that exceeds the amount that Employee would pay for such coverage if he were an active employee of Employer
(“COBRA Subsidies”), starting on the first day following the date on which Employee’s coverage under that plan
as an active employee of Employer ends, and ending on the earlier of (A) the date that twelve (12) months of such COBRA
Subsidies have been paid, or (B) the date on which Employee’s right to continuation coverage under COBRA ends. Employee
agrees and acknowledges that for so long as Employee is covered by COBRA and receiving severance payments under Paragraph 10.B.3,
the amount that Employee would pay for coverage under Employer’s group health plan if he were an active employee of Employer
shall be deducted from such severance payments, and that this coverage under Employer’s group health plan shall run concurrently
with such plan’s obligation to provide continuation coverage pursuant to COBRA. Employee further agrees and understands that
this paragraph shall not limit such plan’s obligation to provide continuation coverage under COBRA.

 

		C.	Resignation for Good Reason. If, during the Term of this Agreement, Employee resigns from
his employment with the Employer and its affiliates for Good Reason in accordance with the requirements of this Paragraph 10.C,
then he shall become entitled to the Accrued Compensation. In addition, subject to Employee’s continuing compliance with
the covenants contained in Paragraphs 7 and 8 of this Agreement and any other similar applicable restrictive covenants with
Employer or an affiliate, and the execution by Employee of Release within the time period specified by Employer at the time of
the Termination Date (which shall be no longer than 50 days after the Termination Date) and the expiration of any applicable
revocation period with respect to the Release, then Employee shall become entitled to receive the same severance benefits set forth
in Paragraph 10.B, subject to the same terms and conditions set forth therein. Employee agrees that before Employee resigns
for Good Reason, Employee must give Employer 30 days’ advance written notice of the reason(s) therefor. For purposes
of this Agreement, “Good Reason” constitutes the happening of any of the following, without the consent of Employee:

 

		1.	Material breach of any provision of this Agreement by Employer;

 

		2.	The assignment to Employee of duties inconsistent with Employee’s position as General Counsel &
Vice President of Legal and Human Resources. (including his removal from the Executive Management Committee) or any other action
by Employer which results in a material diminution in such position, authority, duties, or responsibilities, excluding an isolated,
insubstantial action not taken in bad faith;

 

		3.	The material reduction of Employee’s Annual Salary or Bonus or any other action by Employer
which results in a material reduction of Employee’s annual compensation; or

 

		4.	Employer requiring Employee to be based in a city other than where Employee resides.

 

    	 	8	 

     

    

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing or
any provision to the contrary, Good Reason shall not be deemed to exist unless the notice of termination on account thereof is
given to Employer no later than thirty (30) days after the time at which the event or condition purportedly giving rise to
Good Reason first occurs or arises; and, provided, that if there exists an event or condition that constitutes Good Reason, Employer
shall have thirty (30) days from the date notice of such a termination is given to cure such event or condition and, if Employer
does so, such event or condition shall not constitute Good Reason for purposes of this Agreement.

 

		D.	Stock Incentive Plan Awards. Upon Employee’s termination of employment, the treatment
of all Awards (as that term is defined in Employer’s Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”)) granted to Employee while
employed by Employer will be determined in accordance with the Plan.

 

		11.	Employee Work Product.

 

Employee agrees that any invention,
enhancement, process, method, design and any other creation (hereinafter “Product”) that Employee may develop, invent,
discover, conceive or originate, alone or in conjunction with any other person during business hours or on behalf of Employer,
during Employee’s employment that relates to the business of Employer now or hereafter carried on by it, or to the use of
any product involved therein, shall be the exclusive property of Employer. Employee understands and agrees that in partial consideration
of Employee’s employment and for the compensation received, and for continued employment per this Agreement, all such Products
shall be the exclusive property of Employer and, thus, subject to patent, copyright, registration or other legal protective custody
of Employer.

 

Employer shall have the authority
and this instrument shall operate: (1) to give Employer authority to execute, sell and deliver as the act of Employee, any
license agreement, contract, assignment or other instrument in writing that may be necessary or proper with respect to the Product;
and (2) to convey to Employer the entire right, title and interest to any such Product. Employee further agrees to hold Employer
and its assigns harmless by reason of Employer’s acts pursuant to this Paragraph 11. Employee further agrees that, during
his/her employment and any time thereafter, Employee shall cooperate with Employer and its counsel in the prosecution and/or defense
of any litigation that may arise in connection with any Product referred to in this Paragraph 11.

 

		12.	Choice of Law.

 

This Agreement shall be interpreted,
construed, and governed by the laws of the State of Indiana, regardless of the place of execution or performance.

 

		13.	Entire Agreement.

 

This Agreement contains the entire
agreement of the parties and supersedes any prior agreements between the parties. This Agreement may not be changed orally, but
only by an agreement in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of any waiver, change, modification, extension, or
discharge is sought.

 

    	 	9	 

     

    

 

		14.	Severability.

 

If any provision of this Agreement
shall be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be contrary to law or public policy, the remaining provisions shall remain
in full force and effect. It is the intention and desire of the parties that the court treat any provisions of this Agreement which
are not fully enforceable as having been modified to the minimum extent deemed necessary by the court to render them reasonable
and enforceable and that the court enforce them to such extent.

 

		15.	Survival.

 

This Agreement and the covenants
and restrictions contained therein shall survive the termination of this Agreement and/or the termination of Employee’s employment
with Employer.

 

		16.	Notice.

 

Any notices, requests, demands,
or other communications provided for by this Agreement shall be sufficient if in writing and if (i) delivered by hand to the
other party; (ii) sent by facsimile communication with appropriate confirmation of delivery; (iii) sent by registered
or certified United States Mail, return receipt requested, with all postage prepaid; or (iv) sent by recognized commercial
express courier services, with all delivery charged prepaid; and addressed as follows:

	Warsaw, Indiana  46582	 

 

		17.	Section 409A.

 

Notwithstanding any provisions
herein to the contrary, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, amounts payable to Employee pursuant to Paragraph 10.B
and 10.D shall be made in reliance upon Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-1(b)(9) (Separation Pay Plans) or Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-1(b)(4)
(Short-Term Deferrals), as applicable. For this purpose, each payment shall be considered a separate and distinct payment. However,
to the extent any such payments are treated as nonqualified deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), then (i) if the 70-day payment period set forth under Paragraph 10.B.1
and 3 commences in one taxable year and ends in another, then payments will not commence until the second taxable year, and (ii) if
the Employee is deemed at the time of his separation from service to be a “specified employee” for purposes of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i)
of the Code, then to the extent delayed commencement of any portion of the compensation or benefits to which Employee is entitled
under this Agreement is required in order to avoid a prohibited distribution under Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, such
portion of Employee’s compensation or benefits shall not be provided to Employee prior to the earlier of (x) the first
business day of the seventh month measured from the date of the Employee’s “separation from service” or (y) the
date of Employee’s death. Upon the earlier of such dates, all payments deferred pursuant to this Paragraph 17 shall
be paid in a lump sum to Employee, and any remaining payments due under the Agreement shall be paid as otherwise provided herein.

 

    	 	10	 

     

    

 

In addition, any reimbursements
made or in-kind benefits provided under this Agreement shall be made in accordance with then-current Employer policy, but to the
extent such reimbursements or in-kind benefits constitute nonqualified deferred compensation subject to Section 409A, then
in no event shall any reimbursements be made later than the end of the calendar year following the year in which the expense was
incurred, the amounts eligible for reimbursement or in-kind benefits provided in one year shall not affect the amounts eligible
for reimbursement or in-kind benefits to be provided in any subsequent year, and the right to reimbursements or in-kind benefits
shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit.

 

The parties acknowledge and agree
that, to the extent applicable, this Agreement shall be interpreted in accordance with Section 409A of the Code and the regulations
and other interpretive guidance issued thereunder. Employee shall be solely responsible and liable for the satisfaction of all
taxes and penalties that may be imposed on Employee or for his account in connection with this Agreement (including any taxes and
penalties under Code Section 409A), and neither Employer nor any of its subsidiaries or affiliates shall have any obligation
to indemnify or otherwise hold Employee harmless from any or all of such taxes or penalties. Employer makes no representations
concerning the tax consequences of Employee’s participation in this Agreement under any Federal, state or local law.

 

		18.	Acknowledgement.

 

Employee represents and acknowledges
that Employee has had adequate time to review this Agreement, Employee has had the opportunity to ask questions and receive answers
from Employer regarding this Agreement, and Employee has had the opportunity to consult with legal advisors of his choice concerning
the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

 

This Agreement is intended to
supersede and replace all prior agreements, understandings and arrangements between or among Employer, or any agent thereof, and
the Employee, or any agent thereof, relating to the employment of Employee.

2.          LOAN:
GENERAL TERMS

 

2.1           Term
Loan. Subject to the terms and provisions hereof, Lender shall continue to lend to Borrower and Borrower shall continue to
borrow an aggregate amount of $11,510,757.32 on the date hereof (“Term Loan”), all of which has previously been
funded by Lender to Borrower under the Original Term Notes and remains outstanding (the “Existing Indebtedness”).
Borrower shall execute and deliver on the date hereof an amended and restated term note evidencing the Existing Indebtedness in
the form attached as Exhibit A to this Agreement (as amended and restated, the “Term Note”). The
Term Loan, the obligations of the Borrower and the rights and remedies of the Lender are senior to all other Indebtedness of the
Borrower.

 

2.2           Usury.
The provisions of this Section 2.2 shall govern and control over any irreconcilably inconsistent provision contained
in this Agreement, the Note, or in any Loan Document. Lender shall not be entitled to receive, collect, or apply as interest hereon
(for purposes of this Section 2.2, the word “interest” shall be deemed to include any sums treated
as interest under applicable law governing matters of usury and unlawful interest), any amount in excess of the Highest Lawful
Rate and, in the event Lender ever receives, collects, or applies as interest any such excess, such amount which would be excessive
interest shall be deemed a partial prepayment of principal and shall be treated hereunder as such; and, if the principal of this
Agreement is paid in full, any remaining excess shall forthwith be paid to Borrower. In determining whether or not the interest
paid or payable, under any specific contingency, exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate, Borrower and Lender shall, to the maximum extent
permitted under applicable law: (i) characterize any non-principal payment as an expense, fee or premium rather than as interest,
(ii) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (iii) spread the total amount of interest throughout
the entire contemplated term of this Agreement, provided, that if this Agreement is paid and performed in full prior
to the end of the full contemplated term hereof, and if the interest received for the actual period of existence hereof exceeds
the Highest Lawful Rate, Lender shall refund to Borrower the amount of such excess.

the occurrence of any Event of Default under Section 9.1 hereof (including after acceleration or judgment), the Term
Loan shall bear interest at the Default Rate. Interest in respect of the Term Loan shall be calculated based on a 360 day

thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, subordinated and/or required to be
repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other Person under any bankruptcy act, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause,

revived and continue in full force and effect, as if such payment(s) and/or proceeds had not been received by Lender and applied
on account of the Obligations and any lien on the Collateral and all other collateral shall be deemed to continue in full force

of properties), which should be set aside from such earnings in connection with its business. All determinations pursuant to this

accountant as shall then be regularly engaged by such Loan Party.

    	 	27	 

     

    

  

9.3           Rights
and Remedies.

 

(a)          Lender
shall have the right to exercise any and all rights and remedies provided for herein, under the other Loan Documents, under the
Stock Issuance and Purchase Agreement or under the Uniform Commercial Code and at law or equity generally, including the right
to foreclose the security interests granted herein and to realize upon any Collateral by any available judicial procedure and/or
to take possession of and sell any or all of the Collateral with or without judicial process. Lender may enter any of any Loan
Party’s premises or other premises without legal process and without incurring liability to any Loan Party therefor, and
Lender may thereupon, or at any time thereafter, in its discretion without notice or demand, take the Collateral and remove the
same to such place as Lender may deem advisable and Lender may require any Loan Party to make the Collateral available to Lender
at a convenient place. With or without having the Collateral at the time or place of sale, Lender may sell the Collateral, or any
part thereof, at public or private sale, at any time or place, in one or more sales, at such price or prices, and upon such terms,
either for cash, credit or future delivery, as Lender may elect. Except as to that part of the Collateral which is perishable or
threatens to decline speedily in value or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market, Lender shall give Borrower reasonable
notification of such sale or sales, such notice being deemed sufficient to provide notice to all Loan Parties, it being agreed
that in all events written notice mailed to Borrower at least 10 days prior to such sale or sales is reasonable notification.
At any public sale Lender may bid for and become the purchaser, and Lender or any other purchaser at any such sale thereafter shall
hold the Collateral sold absolutely free from any claim or right of whatsoever kind, including any equity of redemption and all
such claims, rights and equities are hereby expressly waived and released by each Loan Party. In connection with the exercise of
the foregoing remedies, including the sale of Inventory, Lender is granted a perpetual nonrevocable, royalty free, nonexclusive
license and Lender is granted permission to use all of Borrower’s (a) trademarks, trade styles, trade names, patents,
patent applications, copyrights, service marks, licenses, franchises and other proprietary rights which are used or useful in connection
with Inventory for the purpose of marketing, advertising for sale and selling or otherwise disposing of such Inventory and (b) Equipment
for the purpose of completing the manufacture of unfinished goods. The cash proceeds realized from the sale of any Collateral shall
be applied to the Obligations in the order set forth in Section 9.6 hereof. Noncash proceeds will only be applied to
the Obligations as they are converted into cash. If any deficiency shall arise, each Loan Party shall remain liable to Lender therefor.

 

(b)          To
the extent that the Law imposes duties on the Lender to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, each Loan Party
acknowledges and agrees that it is not commercially unreasonable for Lender (i) to fail to incur expenses reasonably deemed
significant by Lender to prepare Collateral for disposition or otherwise to complete raw material or work in process into finished
goods or other finished products for disposition, (ii) to fail to obtain third party consents for access to Collateral to
be disposed of, or to obtain or, if not required by other law, to fail to obtain governmental or third party consents for the collection
or disposition of Collateral to be collected or disposed of, (iii) to fail to exercise collection remedies against Customers
or other Persons obligated on Collateral or to remove Liens on or any adverse claims against Collateral, (iv) to exercise
collection remedies against customers and other Persons obligated on Collateral directly or through the use of collection agencies
and other collection specialists, (v) to advertise dispositions of Collateral through publications or media of general circulation,
whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (vi) to contact other Persons, whether or not in the same business
as a Loan Party, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of such Collateral, (vii) to hire one or more
professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of Collateral, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature,
(viii) to dispose of Collateral by utilizing internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in
the Collateral or that have the reasonable capacity of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets, (ix) to dispose
of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets, (x) to disclaim disposition warranties, such as title, possession or quiet
enjoyment, (xi) to purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure Lender against risks of loss, collection or disposition
of Collateral or to provide to Lender a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of Collateral, or (xii) to the
extent deemed appropriate by Lender, to obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals
to assist Lender in the collection or disposition of any of the Collateral.

 

    	 	28	 

     

    

  

(c)          Each
Loan Party acknowledges that the purpose of this Section 9.3 is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions
or omissions by the Lender would not be commercially unreasonable in Lender’s exercise of remedies against the Collateral
and that other actions or omissions by Lender shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account of not being indicated
in this Section 9.3. Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 9.3 shall
be construed to grant any rights to any Loan Party or to impose any duties on Lender that would not have been granted or imposed
by this Agreement or by Law in the absence of this Section 9.3. Lender shall have the right in its sole discretion
to determine which rights, Liens, security interests or remedies Lender may at any time pursue, relinquish, subordinate, or modify
or to take any other action with respect thereto and such determination will not in any way modify or affect any of Lender’s
or Lenders’ rights hereunder.

 

(d)          The
enumeration of the foregoing rights and remedies is not intended to be exhaustive and the exercise of any rights or remedy shall
not preclude the exercise of any other right or remedies provided for herein or otherwise provided by law, all of which shall be
cumulative and not alternative.

 

9.4           Default
Rate of Interest. At the election of Lender, after the occurrence of an Event of Default and for so long as it continues, the
Term Loan and other Obligations shall bear interest at the Default Rate.

 

9.5           Setoff
Rights. During the continuance of any Event of Default, Lender is hereby authorized by each Loan Party at any time or from
time to time, with reasonably prompt subsequent notice to Borrower (any prior or contemporaneous notice being hereby expressly
waived and such notice being deemed sufficient to provide notice to all Loan Parties) to set off and to appropriate and to apply
any and all (A) balances held by Lender at any of its offices for the account of any Loan Party (regardless of whether such
balances are then due to such Loan Party), and (B) other property at any time held or owing by Lender or any of its Affiliates
to or for the credit or for the account of any Loan Party against and on account of any of the Obligations then due and payable.
Each Loan Party agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by law, that Lender may exercise its right to set off with respect to the
Obligations as provided in this Section 9.5.

 

    	 	29	 

     

    

  

9.6           Application
of Proceeds. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, upon the occurrence and during the continuance
of an Event of Default, (a) each Loan Party irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of any and all payments
at any time or times thereafter received by Lender from or on behalf of such Loan Party of all or any part of the Obligations and
(b) all such payments and all proceeds of any sale of, or other realization upon, all or any part of the Collateral shall
be applied: first, to all Costs; second, to accrued and unpaid interest on the Obligations (including any interest
which but for the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, would have accrued on such amounts); third, to all outstanding principal
of the Obligations; and fourth to any other indebtedness or obligations of such Loan Party owing to Lender under the Loan
Documents. Any balance remaining shall be delivered to the applicable Loan Party or to whomever may be lawfully entitled to receive
such balance or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct.

 

10.         ASSIGNABILITY.

 

10.1         Assignments
by Borrower. Borrower shall not have the right to assign this Agreement or any interest therein except with the prior written
consent of Lender.

 

11.         GENERAL
PROVISIONS

 

11.1         Modification.

 

(a)          Neither
this Agreement nor any other Loan Document shall be amended, modified or supplemented, or any provision waived, without the written
agreement of Borrower and Lender at the time of such amendment, modification, supplement or waiver, and each such amendment, modification,
supplement or waiver shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.

 

(b)          Lender
shall have the absolute right to require full and complete performance of Borrower’s covenants and obligations and strict
compliance with the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by Borrower. Failure by Lender to insist upon full
and prompt performance of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, or failure by Lender to take action in the
event of any breach of any such provision or Event of Default, shall not constitute a waiver of any rights of Lender or any course
of conduct, and Lender may at any time thereafter exercise all rights specified herein, in any other Loan Document or provided
by Law with respect to such breach or Event of Default. If Lender fails to insist on strict performance of any covenant or condition
herein, Lender shall make such election or determination, in Lender’s exclusive discretion. Unless otherwise specifically
provided herein, all consents, to be granted herein, shall be granted or withheld, or continued to be granted or withheld, in Lender’s
exclusive discretion. Lender shall have no duty to Borrower to exercise any judgment or discretion under the terms of this Agreement
or any other Loan Document for the benefit of Borrower. Borrower hereby expressly acknowledges that failure to require strict compliance
by Borrower with the provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall not constitute a waiver by Lender or establish
a course of conduct, and that Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any right to insist on strict compliance with all provisions
thereafter. Borrower hereby expressly waives any right to assert that it detrimentally relied upon such continued waiver or that
Lender acted in bad faith in insisting upon strict compliance by Borrower with the provisions of this Agreement or in exercising
any right or remedy expressly granted to Lender hereunder. Receipt by Lender of any instrument or document shall not constitute
or be deemed to be an approval thereof.

 

    	 	30	 

     

    

  

11.2         Severability.
If any provision (in whole or in part) of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the application thereof to any Person or
circumstance is held invalid or unenforceable, then such provision shall be deemed modified, restricted, or reformulated to the
extent and in the manner necessary to render the same valid and enforceable, or shall be deemed excised from this Agreement and/or
such Loan Document, as the case may require, and this Agreement and/or such Loan Document shall be construed and enforced to the
maximum extent permitted by law, as if such provision had been originally incorporated herein as so modified, restricted, or reformulated
or as if such provision had not been originally incorporated herein, as the case may be. Borrower and Lender further agree to seek
a lawful substitute for any provision found to be unlawful. If such modification, restriction or reformulation is not reasonably
possible, the remainder of this Agreement and other the Loan Documents and the application of such provision to other Persons or
circumstances will not be affected thereby and the provisions of this Agreement and any other Loan Document shall be severable
in any such instance.

 

11.3         Successors
and Assigns. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the successors and
assigns of Borrower and Lender, provided that this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and no interest or right hereunder or thereunder
may be assigned by Borrower without prior written consent of Lender which may be withheld in Lender’s sole and exclusive
discretion.

 

11.4         Liability
Prior to Termination. Except to the extent provided to the contrary in this Agreement and in the other Loan Documents, no termination
or cancellation (regardless of cause or procedure) of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall in any way affect or impair
the powers, obligations, duties, rights and liabilities of Borrower or Lender in any way or respect relating to any transaction
or event occurring prior to such termination or cancellation with respect to any of the undertakings, agreements, covenants, warranties
and representations of Borrower or Lender contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

 

11.5         Waiver
of Notice Omitted. Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, Borrower waives any and all notice or demand
which Borrower might be entitled to receive with respect to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents by virtue of any applicable
statute or law, and waives presentment, demand and protest and notice of presentment, protest, default, dishonor, non-payment,
maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension or renewal of any or all commercial paper, accounts, contract rights, documents,
instruments, chattel paper and guaranties at any time held by Lender on which Borrower may in any way be liable and hereby ratifies
and confirms whatever Lender may do in this regard.

 

11.6         Designated
Person. Until Lender is notified by Borrower to the contrary in writing by registered or certified mail directed to Lender’s
principal place of business, the signature upon this Agreement or upon any of the other Loan Documents of any officer, partner,
manager or employee of Borrower or of any other Person designated in writing to Lender by any of the foregoing, or of a Responsible
Officer shall bind Borrower and be deemed to be the duly authorized act of Borrower.

 

    	 	31	 

     

    

  

11.7         Indemnification.
Borrower shall indemnify, defend, and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all losses, Costs, liabilities, actual damages,
and expenses (including other expenses incident thereto) of every kind, nature and description, that result from or arise out of
(a) the breach of any representation or warranty of Borrower set forth in this Agreement or in any certificate, schedule,
or other instrument by Borrower pursuant hereto, (b) the breach of any of the covenants of Borrower contained in or arising
out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, or (c) any third party claims relating to the conduct of Borrower’s
business (except to the extent that any of the foregoing are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent
jurisdiction to have resulted from Lender’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct).

 

11.8         No
Third Party Beneficiaries; Relationship of Borrower and Lender. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are solely for
the benefit of Lender, Borrower and their respective permitted successors and assigns. Nothing contained herein or therein shall
be deemed to confer upon any other Person any right to insist on or to enforce the performance or observance of any of the obligations,
terms or covenants contained herein or therein. All conditions to the obligations of Lender to make the Loan are imposed solely
and exclusively for the benefit of Lender and its successors and assigns and no other Person shall have standing to require satisfaction
of such conditions in accordance with their terms and no other Persons shall under any circumstances be deemed to be a beneficiary
of such conditions. Borrower is not and shall not be an affiliate of Lender for any purpose. Unless and until Lender expressly
assumes the Obligations following an Event of Default, Lender shall not be deemed to be in privity of contract with any contractor
or provider of services to the Collateral, and in no event shall any payment of funds directly to a contractor or subcontractor
or provider of services by itself be deemed to create any third-party beneficiary status or recognition of same by Lender. Lender
is not an Affiliate of Borrower for any purposes, unless Lender expressly exercises a right or remedy hereunder or under any Loan
Document as the Lender or attorney-in-fact of Borrower. The relationship between Borrower and Lender shall be solely that of borrower
and lender. No term in this Agreement or in the Loan Documents and no course of dealing between the parties, nor any action taken
or omitted to be taken by Lender or by Borrower shall be deemed to create any relationship of agency, partnership or joint venture
or any fiduciary duty by Lender to Borrower or any other Person. Lender undertakes no responsibility to Borrower to review or inform
Borrower of any matter in connection with any phase of Borrower’s business or operations. All rights and remedies granted
to Lender in the Loan Documents shall be in addition to and not in limitation of any rights and remedies to which it is entitled
in equity, at law or by statute, and the invalidity of any right or remedy herein provided by reason of its conflict with Law or
statute shall not affect any other valid right or remedy afforded to Lender. No waiver of any Event of Default or of any default
in the performance of any covenant contained in this Agreement or any Loan Document shall at any time thereafter be held to be
a waiver of any rights of Lender under this Agreement or any Loan Document, nor shall any waiver of a prior Event of Default or
default operate to waive any subsequent Event of Default or default. All remedies provided for herein and in any Loan Document,
at law or in equity are cumulative and may, at the election of Lender, be exercised alternatively, successively, or concurrently.
No act of Lender shall be construed as an election to proceed under any one provision herein or in any other Loan Document to the
exclusion of any other provision or to proceed against one portion of the Collateral to the exclusion of any other portion. Borrower
agrees that Lender shall not have any liability to Borrower (whether sounding in tort, contract or otherwise) for losses suffered
by Borrower in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to, the transactions contemplated and the relationship established
by the Loan Documents, or any act, omission or event occurring in connection therewith, unless it is determined in a final non-appealable
judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction that such losses resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the
party from which recovery is sought.

 

    	 	32	 

     

    

  

11.9         Acceptance
by Lender. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are submitted by Borrower to Lender (for Lender’s acceptance or
rejection thereof) at Lender’s principal place of business as an offer by Borrower to borrow monies from Lender now and from
time to time hereafter and shall not be binding upon Lender or become effective until and unless accepted by Lender, in writing,
at said place of business. If so accepted by Lender, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to have been made
at said place of business.

 

11.10         Prior

entirety any other agreement or understanding between Lender, and Borrower with respect to loans and advances made by Lender and

SUBSIDIARY GUARANTY

 

May 30,
2014

 

TO: SQUADRON CAPITAL LLC

 

1.          GUARANTY;
DEFINITIONS. In consideration of any credit or other financial accommodation heretofore, now or hereafter extended or made to ORTHOPEDIATRICS
CORP., a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”), by SQUADRON CAPITAL LLC (“Squadron”), and
for other valuable consideration, the undersigned (the “Guarantor”) unconditionally guarantees and promises
to pay to Squadron, or order, on demand in lawful money of the United States of America and in immediately available funds, any
and all Obligations of Borrower to Squadron. This Guaranty is a guaranty of payment and not collection. Capitalized words used
but not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in that certain Second Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement,
dated as of the date hereof (the “Loan Agreement”), by and between Borrower and Squadron.

 

2.          SUCCESSIVE
TRANSACTIONS. This is a continuing guaranty and all rights, powers and remedies hereunder shall apply to all past, present and
future Obligations of Borrower to Squadron, including that arising under successive transactions which shall either continue the
Obligations, increase or decrease it, or from time to time create new Obligations after all or any prior Obligations has been satisfied,
and notwithstanding the dissolution, liquidation or bankruptcy of Borrower or the Guarantor or any other event or proceeding affecting
Borrower or the Guarantor.

 

3.          OBLIGATIONS;
SEPARATE ACTIONS; WAIVER OF STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS; REINSTATEMENT OF LIABILITY. The obligations hereunder are independent of the
obligations of Borrower, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against the Guarantor whether action is
brought against Borrower or any other person, or whether Borrower or any other person is joined in any such action or actions.
Guarantor acknowledges that this Guaranty is absolute and unconditional, there are no conditions precedent to the effectiveness
of this Guaranty, and this Guaranty is in full force and effect and is binding on the Guarantor as of the date written below, regardless
of whether Squadron obtains collateral or any guaranties from others or takes any other action contemplated by the Guarantor. Guarantor
waives the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting the Guarantor’s liability hereunder or the enforcement thereof,
and the Guarantor agrees that any payment of any Obligations or other act which shall toll any statute of limitations applicable
thereto shall similarly operate to toll such statute of limitations applicable to the Guarantor’s liability hereunder. The
liability of the Guarantor hereunder shall be reinstated and revived and the rights of Squadron shall continue if and to the extent
for any reason any amount at any time paid on account of any Obligations guaranteed hereby is rescinded or must otherwise be restored
by Squadron, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise, all as though such amount had
not been paid. The determination as to whether any amount so paid must be rescinded or restored shall be made by Squadron in its
sole discretion; provided; however, that if Squadron chooses to contest any such matter at the request of a Guarantor,
the Guarantor agrees to indemnify and hold Squadron harmless from and against all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’
fees, expended or incurred by Squadron in connection therewith, including without limitation, in any litigation with respect thereto.

 

    	 	B-2	 

     

    

 

4.          AUTHORIZATIONS
TO BANK. The Guarantor authorizes Squadron either before or after revocation hereof, without notice to or demand on the Guarantor,
and without affecting the Guarantor’s liability hereunder, from time to time to: (a) alter, compromise, renew, extend,
accelerate or otherwise change the time for payment of, or otherwise change the terms of the Obligations or any portion thereof,
including increase or decrease of the rate of interest thereon; (b) take and hold security for the payment of this Guaranty
or the Obligations or any portion thereof, and exchange, enforce, waive, subordinate or release any such security; (c) apply
