Mr. Rohit Kashyap, [***]


Dear Rohit,

I am pleased to confirm our offer of employment to you for the position of Chief Commercial Officer ("CCO") on behalf of MiMedx Group, Inc. ("MiMedx" or "Company"), which employment is to commence on or before August 3, 2020. In this position you will report directly to Tim Wright, Chief Executive Officer.

Your initial base salary will be $19,230 (gross before deductions) per biweekly pay period, which is equivalent to the gross amount of $500,000 on an annualized basis. Your salary will be payable on a biweekly basis. Your future salary adjustments will be in accordance with Company policy and based upon individual and Company performance.

You will be eligible to participate in the MiMedx Group 2020 Operating Incentive Plan ("OIP") with an annual target bonus amount equal to fifty two and one half percent (52.5%) of the annual base salary paid to you in accordance with the terms of such program in effect from time-to-time. You will be eligible to begin participating in the OIP effective July 27, 2020 and will be prorated according to your start date, provided, however, you shall be entitled to receive an amount equal to a minimum of 80% of your prorated annual target bonus amount for calendar year 2020 in view of your third quarter employment start date. Your 2020 OIP incentive will be calculated based on the achievement of MiMedx financial targets and your individual objectives. The individual objectives will be comprised of one or more key operational measures and/or outcomes that are specific to your position and directly influenced by your performance. In the 2020 OIP, specified portions of your above-referenced target bonus will be allocated to a) MiMedx revenue performance, b) MiMedx Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization ("Adjusted EBITDA") and c) your performance in the attainment of your 2020 individual objectives. Following the final approval of the 2020 OIP by the MiMedx Board of Directors, you will receive further confirmation of the details of the 2020 OIP.

Based on the Company’s analysis of competitive data, the Company has established a target annual long-term incentive value for each posit ion eligible to participate in the Company’s stock incentive program. This target is expressed as a percentage of the participant’s annual base salary, and is used as a guide by which to measure the appropriate and competitive value of the annual equity grant to be proposed by the Company for approval by the Compensation committee. In your position of CCO, your target annual long-term incentive value is two hundred percent (200%) of your annual base salary. (a) As an incentive to enter into the employ of the Company, you will be eligible to receive a one-time bonus payment in the amount



of $200,000 (gross before deductions). This amount will be payable within forty-five (45) days following the commencement of your employment with MiMedx . You must be an active employee with the Company on the date of payment in order to remain eligible for the above referenced one-time bonus. In accordance with Company policy, should you voluntarily elect to discontinue employment with MiMedx other than for "Good Reason", within twelve (12) months following the date of this Agreement, you agree to repay to MiMedx the full amount of the one-time bonus paid to you. "Good Reason" shall mean the occurrence of one or more of the following conditions, without your consent: (i) a material reduction in your annual base salary and/or annual target bonus, (ii) a material reduction in the nature and scope of your authority, responsibilities or duties; (iii) an adverse change in your reporting relationship such that you do not report to the Board of Directors of the Company or the Chief Executive Officer, or any adverse change in your title from Chief Commercial Officer; or (iv) Employee being required to change his principal place of residence.
As an incentive to enter into employ of the Company, you will be eligible for a restricted stock grant with a value of $1,000,000 dollars, or 200% of your initial base salary. The grant is contingent upon approval of the Board of Directors, but the Company agrees to recommend the grant to the Board no later than the meeting of the Board to be held prior to July 31, 2020. The grant will be made on later of the date your employment commences or the date the Board approves the grant (the "Grant Date"). The award will vest pro rata annually over three years, provided that you continue to be employed by the Company on each vesting date. The number of shares granted will be equal to such value divided by our closing stock price on the Grant Date.
In addition, you shall be entitled to a retention bonus in the amount of $100,000 ("Retention Bonus") to be paid (i) on or before March 30, 2022 if you are still employed by the Company, or (ii) immediately in the event a change in control of the Company occurs prior to March20, 2022. However, in the event your total target cash compensation for the year 2021 is equal to and/or greater than $875,000.00 you shall not be entitled to the retention bonus. In the event your total target cash compensation for 2021 is less than $875,000, you shall only be entitled to such a percent of the Retention Bonus as to ensure your total target cash compensation equals $875,000.
