Exhibit 10.2

CHANGE IN CONTROL AGREEMENT

THIS AGREEMENT, dated as of March 29, 2007, is made by and between Biomet, Inc., an Indiana corporation (the “ Company ”), and Jay P. Richardson (the “ Executive ”).

Recitals

A.            The Company considers it essential to the best interests of its shareholders to foster the continuous employment of certain key management personnel, including the Executive.

B.            The Board recognizes that, as is the case with many publicly-held corporations, the possibility of a Change in Control exists and that such a possibility, and the uncertainty and questions that it may raise among management, may result in the departure or distraction of certain key management personnel to the detriment of the Company and its shareholders.

C.            The Board has determined that appropriate steps should be taken to reinforce and encourage the continued attention and dedication of members of the Company’s management, including the Executive, to their assigned duties without distraction in the face of potentially disturbing circumstances arising from, among other things, the possibility of a Change in Control.

D.            The parties intend that no amount or benefit will be payable under this Agreement unless both of the following events occur: (i) a Change in Control occurs; and (ii) the Executive’s employment with the Company is terminated as provided in this Agreement.

AGREEMENT

In consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants and agreements set forth below, the Company and the Executive agree as follows:

ARTICLE I
Term of Agreement

Section 1.01           Term .

(a)           The “ Term ” of this Agreement is the period commencing on the date hereof and ending on the second anniversary of the date hereof; provided, however, that commencing on the date one year after the date hereof, and on each annual anniversary of such date (such date and each annual anniversary thereof shall be hereinafter referred to as the “ Renewal Date ”), unless previously terminated, the Term shall be automatically extended so as to terminate two years from such Renewal Date, unless at least 60 days prior to the Renewal Date the Board shall give notice to the Executive that the Term not be so extended.  Notwithstanding any notice to the Executive that the Term shall not be extended, if a Change in Control occurs prior to the expiration of the Term, then the Term shall be automatically extended so as to expire two years from the date of such Change in Control.

(b)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, this Agreement shall automatically terminate and be canceled and the Executive shall have no further rights or obligations hereunder immediately prior to the Closing, as defined in the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated December 18, 2006 by and among Biomet, Inc., LVB Acquisition

1

Merger Sub, Inc. and LVB Acquisitions LLC, as such may be amended from time to time (the “Transaction Agreement”).

Section 1.02           Post-Change in Control Employment Period .  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Company hereby agrees to continue the Executive in its employ, and the Executive hereby agrees to remain in the employ of the Company for the period commencing on the first date on which a Change in Control occurs during the Term and ending on the second anniversary of such date (the “ Post-CIC Employment Period ”).

ARTICLE II
Termination of Employment

Section 2.01           Death or Disability . The Executive’s employment shall terminate automatically upon the Executive’s death during the Term. If the Company determines in good faith that the Disability (pursuant to the definition of Disability set forth below) of the Executive has occurred during the Term, it may give to the Executive written notice in accordance with Article VII of this Agreement of its intention to terminate the Executive’s employment. In such event, the Executive’s employment with the Company shall terminate effective on the 30th day after receipt of such notice by the Executive (the “ Disability Effective Date ”), provided that, within the thirty days after such receipt, the Executive shall not have returned to full-time performance of the Executive’s duties. For purposes of this Agreement, “ Disability ” shall mean the absence of the Executive from the Executive’s duties with the Company on a full-time basis for 180 consecutive business days as a result of incapacity due to mental or physical illness, which is determined to be a disability pursuant to the Company’s then existing long term disability plan or, in the absence of such a plan, a disability determined to be total and permanent by a physician selected by the Company and acceptable to the Executive or the Executive’s legal representative.

Section 2.02           Cause .  The Company may terminate the Executive’s employment during the Term for Cause.

Section 2.03           Good Reason .  The Executive’s employment may be terminated by the Executive for Post-CIC Good Reason.

Section 2.04           Notice of Termination . Any termination by the Company for Cause, or by the Executive for Post-CIC Good Reason, shall be communicated by Notice of Termination to the other party hereto given in accordance with Article VII of this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, a “ Notice of Termination ” means a written notice which (i) indicates the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon, (ii) to the extent applicable, sets forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of the Executive’s employment under the provision so indicated and (iii) if the Date of Termination (as defined below) is other than the date of receipt of such notice, specifies the termination date. The failure by the Executive or the Company to set forth in the Notice of Termination any fact or circumstance which contributes to a showing of Post-CIC Good Reason or Cause shall not waive any right of the Executive or the Company, respectively, hereunder or preclude the Executive or the Company, respectively, from asserting such fact or circumstance in enforcing the Executive’s or the Company’s rights hereunder.

Section 2.05           Date of Termination . “ Date of Termination ” means (i) if the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company for Cause, or by the Executive for Post-CIC Good Reason, the date of receipt of the Notice of Termination or any later date up to six months thereafter specified therein, as the case may be, (ii) if the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company other than for Cause or Disability, the Date of Termination shall be the date on which the Company notifies the Executive of such termination or any later date specified therein within 30 days of such notice and (iii) if the

2

Executive’s employment is terminated by reason of death or Disability, the Date of Termination shall be the date of death of the Executive or the Disability Effective Date, as the case may be.

ARTICLE III
Obligations of the Company Upon Termination

Section 3.01           Post-CIC Good Reason; Other Than for Cause or Disability . If, during the Post-CIC Employment Period, the Executive shall terminate employment for Post-CIC Good Reason or the Company shall terminate the Executive’s employment other than for Cause or Disability (entitling the Executive to benefits under the Company’s long-term disability plan, after any applicable waiting period):

(a)           The Company shall pay to the Executive in a lump sum in cash on the tenth (10) Business Day following the Date of Termination the aggregate of the following amounts:

(i)            the sum of (1) the Executive’s Annual Base Salary (which for this purpose shall include any allowance for perquisites that is paid directly to the Executive) through the end of the fiscal year containing the Date of Termination; (2) an amount equal to (x) the higher of the target bonus amount or the bonus actually paid to the Executive under the Company’s incentive bonus plan (or any comparable successor plan(s)) for the fiscal year of the Company prior to the Date of Termination (or the first date on which a Change in Control occurs, if such date is earlier) or (y) the target bonus amount payable to the Executive under such plan(s) for the fiscal year of the Company which contains the Date of Termination, whichever of (x) or (y) is higher (the “ Target Bonus ”); (3) the total contributions (other than salary reduction contributions) made by the Company to all qualified retirement plans on behalf of the Executive through the end of the fiscal year containing the Date of Termination; (4) the total car allowance contributions made by the Company to the Executive through the end of the fiscal year containing the Date of Termination;  and (5) any accrued vacation or other pay not theretofore paid (the sum of the amounts described in clauses (1), (2), (3), (4) and (5) are herein referred to as the “ Accrued Obligations ”); and,

(ii)           the amount equal to the product of (1) one and (2) the sum of (w) the Executive’s Annual Base Salary (which for this purpose shall include any allowance for perquisites that is paid directly to the Executive) and (x) the higher of (aa) the Target Bonus and (bb) the highest annual incentive bonus earned by Executive during the last one (1) completed fiscal years of the Company immediately preceding Executive’s Date of Termination (annualized in the event Executive was not employed by the Company for the whole of any such fiscal year), with the product of (1) and (2) reduced by the amounts paid, if any, to the Executive pursuant to any other contractual arrangement with the Executive or plan providing coverage to the Executive as a result of such termination; (y)  the total contributions (other than salary reduction contributions) made by the Company to all qualified retirement plans on behalf of the Executive for the calendar year immediately preceding the calendar year in which the Change in Control occurs; and (z) the total car allowance contributions made by the Company to the Executive for the calendar year immediately preceding the calendar year in which the Change in Control occurs.

(b)           The Company shall provide the following benefit payments to the Executive:

(i)            For a 12-month period after the Date of Termination, the Company will arrange to provide the Executive with life insurance benefits and long-term disability benefits substantially similar to those that the Executive was receiving from the Company immediately prior to the Date of Termination (or the first date on which a Change in Control occurs, if such date is earlier). Life insurance benefits and long-term disability benefits otherwise receivable by the Executive pursuant to the preceding sentence will be reduced to the extent comparable benefits are actually received by or made available to the Executive by any source other than the Company without greater cost to him than as

3

provided by the Company during the 12-month period following the Executive’s termination of employment (and the Executive will report to the Company any such benefits actually received by or made available to the Executive). If, as of the Date of Termination, the Company reasonably determines that the continued life insurance coverage and/or long-term disability coverage required by this Section 3.01(b) is not available from the Company’s group insurance carrier, cannot be procured from another carrier, and cannot be provided on a self-insured basis without adverse tax consequences to the Executive or his death beneficiary, then, in lieu of continued life insurance coverage and/or long-term disability coverage, the Company will pay the Executive a lump sum payment, in cash, equal to 12 times the full monthly premium payable to the Company’s group insurance carrier for comparable coverage for an executive employee under the Company’s group life insurance plan or long-term disability plan then in effect.

(ii)           The Company will offer the Executive and any eligible family members the opportunity to elect to continue medical and dental coverage pursuant to the continuation coverage requirements of the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended (“ COBRA ”). The Executive will be responsible for paying the required monthly premium for that coverage, but the Company will pay the Executive a lump sum cash stipend equal to 18 times the monthly premium then charged to qualified beneficiaries for full family COBRA continuation coverage under the Company’s medical and dental plans, which the Executive may choose to use for the payment of COBRA premiums. The Company will pay the stipend to the Executive whether or not the Executive or anyone in his family elects COBRA continuation coverage, whether or not the Executive continues COBRA coverage for a full 18 months, and whether or not the Executive receives health coverage from another employer while the Executive is receiving COBRA continuation coverage.

(c)           All outstanding Options will become immediately vested and exercisable (to the extent not yet vested and exercisable as of the Date of Termination) and shall remain exercisable until the earlier of (i) the expiration of the option term or (ii) five (5) years after the Date of Termination. To the extent not otherwise provided under the written agreement, if any, evidencing the grant of any restricted Shares to the Executive, all outstanding Shares that have been granted to the Executive subject to restrictions that, as of the Date of Termination, have not yet lapsed will lapse automatically upon the Date of Termination, and the Executive will own those Shares free and clear of all such restrictions.

(d)           For 12 months following the Date of Termination the Company shall, at its sole expense, reimburse the Executive for the cost (but not in excess of $25,000 in the aggregate), as incurred, for outplacement services the scope and provider of which shall be selected by the Executive in Executive’s sole discretion.

(e)           To the extent not theretofore paid or provided, the Company shall timely pay or provide to Executive any other amounts or benefits required to be paid or provided or which Executive is eligible to receive under any plan, program, policy, practice, contract or agreement of the Company (such other amounts and benefits shall be hereinafter referred to as the “ Other Benefits ”).

Section 3.02           Death . If the Executive’s employment is terminated by reason of the Executive’s death during the Term and prior to a Change in Control, this Agreement shall terminate without further obligations to the Executive’s legal representatives under this Agreement. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, if the Executive’s  death occurs after a Change in Control, then this Section 3.02 shall not apply and the Executive’s estate and/or beneficiaries shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.01.

Section 3.03           Disability . If the Executive’s employment is terminated by reason of the Executive’s Disability during the Term, this Agreement shall terminate without further obligations to the Executive, other than for payment of Accrued Obligations and the timely payment or provision of Other

4

Benefits. Accrued Obligations shall be paid to the Executive in a lump sum in cash on the twentieth (20th) Business Day following the Date of Termination. The term “Other Benefits” as utilized in this Section 3.03 shall include, without limitation, and the Executive shall be entitled after the Disability Effective Date to receive, disability and other benefits at least equal to the most favorable of those generally provided by the Company and its affiliated companies to disabled executives and/or their families in accordance with such plans, programs, practices and policies relating to disability, if any, as in effect generally with respect to other peer executives and their families at any time during the 120-day period immediately preceding the Date of Termination (or the date on which a Change in Control occurs, if such date is earlier) or, if more favorable to the Executive and/or the Executive’s family, as in effect at any time thereafter generally with respect to other peer executives of the Company and their families.

Section 3.04           Termination in Anticipation of a Change in Control .

(a)           An “ Anticipatory Termination ” occurs if either

(i)            (1) the Company terminates the Executive’s employment other than for Cause or Disability prior to the date on which a Change in Control occurs, (2) it is reasonably demonstrated by the Executive that such termination of employment (x) was at the request or instruction of a third party who had taken steps reasonably calculated to effect a Change in Control or (y) otherwise arose within six months of, and was in connection with or in anticipation of, a Change in Control, and (3) a Change in Control occurs, or

(ii)           (1) during the Term, an event occurs that would have constituted Post-CIC Good Reason if the date on which a Change in Control occurs was deemed to be the date immediately prior to the date of such event and the Executive terminated his employment subsequent to such event, (2) the Executive can reasonably demonstrate that such Post-CIC Good Reason event (x) was at the request or instruction of a third party who had taken steps reasonably calculated to effect a Change in Control or (y) otherwise arose within six months of, and was in connection with or in anticipation of, a Change in Control, and (3) a Change in Control occurs.

(iii)          For purposes of clauses (i)(1)(y) and (ii)(1)(y) of this Section 3.04(a), it shall be presumed that such event was in connection with or in anticipation of a Change in Control unless the Company establishes otherwise by clear and convincing evidence.

(b)           If the Executive has reason to believe that an Anticipatory Termination may have occurred, he shall provide a notice setting forth such belief in accordance with Article VII of this Agreement within 120 days after a Change in Control has occurred. Upon an Anticipatory Termination, the Executive shall be entitled to (A) the payments specified in Sections 3.01(a),(d) and (e) (to the extent not previously paid), (B) the benefits specified in Section 3.01(b) (to the extent not previously provided) (or the after-tax equivalent thereof to the extent that such benefits have not been or are not provided in kind), (C) to the extent that the Executive has outstanding any unexercised stock options and other stock-based awards, the provisions of Section 3.01(c) shall apply to them, (D) in respect of any stock options or other stock based awards that were forfeited by the Executive as a result of his termination of employment but would have vested had Section 3.01(c) applied, such awards shall be reinstated (or if not reinstated, the Executive shall be paid in cash the fair value of such award), and (E) liquidated damages of $25,000 for penalties associated with the Anticipatory Termination. For the purposes of this Section 3.04(b), the Executive’s Date of Termination shall be deemed to be his last date of employment by the Company.

Section 3.05           Nonexclusivity of Rights . Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or limit the Executive’s continuing or future participation in any plan, program, policy or practice provided by the Company and for which the Executive may qualify, nor, subject to Section 8.02, shall anything herein

limit or otherwise affect such rights as the Executive may have under any contract or agreement with the Company. Amounts which are vested benefits or which the Executive is otherwise entitled to receive under any plan, policy, practice, or program of or any contract or agreement with the Company at or su
