Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

Indenture and the Notes

On February 13, 2015, Wright Medical Group, Inc. (the “ Company ”) issued $632.5 million aggregate principal amount of 2.00% Cash Convertible Senior Notes due 2020 (the “ Notes ”) pursuant to an indenture, dated as of February 13, 2015 (the “ Indenture ”), between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as Trustee. The Notes will pay interest semi-annually on each February 15 and August 15 at an annual rate of 2.00%, and will mature on February 15, 2020 unless earlier converted or repurchased. The Notes will be convertible, subject to certain conditions, solely into cash. The initial conversion rate for the Notes will be 32.3939 shares of common stock (subject to adjustment as provided in the Indenture) per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes (subject to, and in accordance with, the settlement provisions of the Indenture), which is equal to an initial conversion price of approximately $30.87 per share of common stock.

The notes would be subject to modifications if the Company’s pending merger with Tornier N.V. (“ Tornier ,” which would be known as Wright Medical Group N.V. (“ Wright N.V. ”) at and after the effective time of the Tornier merger) is consummated, including that upon consummation of the merger, Wright N.V. would fully and unconditionally guarantee the Company’s obligations under the indenture and the notes on a senior unsecured basis, and calculations and other determinations with respect to the notes relating to the Company’s common stock would instead be calculated or determined by reference to Wright N.V.’s ordinary shares.

Prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding August 15, 2019, holders may surrender their Notes for conversion solely into cash, in multiples of $1,000 principal amount, upon satisfaction of one or more of the following circumstances:

 

    during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ending on March 31, 2015 (and only during such calendar quarter), if the last reported sale price of the common stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price on each applicable trading day;

 

    during the five business day period after any five consecutive trading day period in which the trading price (as defined in the Indenture) per $1,000 principal amount of Notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of our common stock and the conversion rate on each such trading day; or

 

    upon the occurrence of specified corporate events.

On or after August 15, 2019 until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date holders may convert their Notes, in multiples of $1,000 principal amount, solely into cash at the option of the holder regardless of the foregoing circumstances.

If the Company undergoes a fundamental change (as defined in the Indenture), subject to certain conditions, holders of the Notes would have the option to require the Company to repurchase for cash all or a portion of their Notes at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be purchased, plus any accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date. In addition, following certain corporate transactions, the Company, under certain circumstances, would increase the applicable conversion rate for a holder that elects to convert its Notes in connection with such corporate transaction.

The Indenture provides for customary events of default. In the case of an event of default arising from specified events of bankruptcy or insolvency, all outstanding Notes would become due and payable immediately without further action or notice. If any other event of default under the Indenture occurs or is continuing, the Trustee or holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may declare all of the Notes to be due and payable immediately. In certain circumstances if the Company fails to timely file certain documents or reports required under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, additional interest would accrue on the Notes during the period in which its failure to file has occurred and is continuing. In addition, if, and for so long as, the restrictive legend on the Notes has not been removed, the Notes are assigned a restricted CUSIP or the Notes are not otherwise freely tradable by holders of the Notes (other than the Company’s affiliates) as of the 365th day after the last date of original issuance of the Notes, the Company would pay additional interest on the Notes until such restrictive legend is removed, the Notes have been assigned an unrestricted CUSIP and the Notes are freely tradable.

The foregoing description of the Indenture and the Notes does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Indenture and the form of the Notes, which is filed as Exhibit 4.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference.


Convertible Note Hedge and Warrant Transactions

On February 9, 2015 and February 10, 2015, the Company entered into cash-settled convertible note hedging transactions with the three counterparties, Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch, JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (the “ Option Counterparties ”), which are expected generally to reduce the net cash payments we may be required to make upon conversion of the notes to the extent that the cash payments exceed the principal amount of converted notes if the Company’s stock price exceeds the strike price of the convertible note hedging transactions, which initially corresponds to the conversion price of the notes and is subject to anti-dilution adjustments substantially similar to those applicable to the conversion rate of the notes. The Company also entered into warrant transactions in which it sold warrants that are initially exercisable into 20,489,142 shares of its common stock and subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events to the Option Counterparties. The strike price of the warrants will initially be $40 per share, which is 59% above the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock on February 9, 2015. The warrants are exercisable over the 200 trading day period beginning on May 15, 2020. The warrant transactions will have a dilutive effect to the extent that the market value per share of the Company’s common stock during such period exceeds the applicable strike price of the warrants. The Company paid approximately $144.8 million to the Option Counterparties for the note hedging transactions, and received approximately $86.4 million from the Option Counterparties for the warrants, resulting in a net cost to the Company of $58.4 million.

Aside from the initial payment of a premium to the Option Counterparties of approximately $144.8 million and subject to the right of the Option Counterparties to terminate the convertible note hedging transactions in certain circumstances, the Company will not be required to make any cash payments to the Option Counterparties under the convertible note hedging transactions and will be entitled to receive from the Option Counterparties an amount of cash, generally equal to the amount by which the market price per share of common stock exceeds the then-effective conversion price of the Notes during the relevant valuation period. The Company will not receive any additional proceeds if warrants are exercised.

The foregoing description of the convertible note hedge transactions and warrant transactions is qualified in its entirety by reference to call option transaction confirmations relating to the convertible note hedge transactions and the warrant confirmations relating to the warrant transactions with each of the three Option Counterparties, which are filed as Exhibits 10.1 through 10.12 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference.

Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation Under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

The information set forth under Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K with respect to the Notes is incorporated by reference herein.

Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

As described in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, which is incorporated herein by reference, on February 9, 2015 and February 10, 2015, the Company entered into warrant transactions with each of the Option Counterparties. Pursuant to the warrant transactions, the Company issued warrants to purchase an aggregate maximum of 20,489,142 shares with a strike price of $40 per share. The number of shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants and the strike price are subject to adjustment under certain circumstances described in the warrants confirmations. The Company offered and sold the warrants in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. Neither the warrants nor the underlying shares of common stock (issuable in the event the market price per share of the common stock exceeds the strike price of the warrants on the date the warrants are exercised) have been registered under the Securities Act. Neither the warrants nor such underlying shares of common stock may be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements.

Item 8.01 Other Events.

On February 10, 2015, the Company issued a press release announcing the pricing of the Notes offering, and on February 13, 2015, issued a press release announcing the closing of the Notes offering. Copies of the press releases are attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and Exhibit 99.2 and are incorporated by reference into this Item 8.01.

Payment of principal (including the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, if applicable) of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, a Global Note shall be made to the Holder of such Note on the date of payment, unless a record date or other means of determining Holders eligible to receive payment is provided for herein.

Section 2.03. Date and Denomination of Notes; Payments of Interest and Defaulted Amounts . (a) The Notes shall be issuable in registered form without coupons in denominations of $1,000 principal amount and integral multiples thereof. Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication and shall bear interest from the date specified on the face of such Note. Accrued interest on the Notes shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year composed of twelve 30-day months.

(b) The Person in whose name any Note (or its Predecessor Note) is registered on the Note Register at the close of business on any Regular Record Date with respect to any Interest Payment Date shall be entitled to receive the interest payable on such Interest Payment Date. Interest shall be payable at the office or agency of the Company maintained by the Company for such purposes in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, which shall initially be the office or agency of the Trustee. The Company shall pay interest (i) on any Physical Notes by wire transfer in immediately available funds to that Holder’s account within

 

15


the United States, which application shall remain in effect until the Holder notifies, in writing, the Note Registrar to the contrary or (ii) on any Global Note by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of the Depositary or its nominee.

(c) Any Defaulted Amounts shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on the relevant payment date but shall accrue interest per annum at the rate borne by the Notes, subject to the enforceability thereof under applicable law, from, and including, such relevant payment date to, but excluding, the date on which such Defaulted Amounts, together with such interest thereon, shall have been paid by the Company, at its election in each case, as provided in clause (i) or (ii) below:

(i) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Amounts to the Persons in whose names the Notes (or their respective Predecessor Notes) are registered at the close of business on a special record date for the payment of such Defaulted Amounts, which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of the Defaulted Amounts proposed to be paid on each Note and the date of the proposed payment (which shall be not less than 25 days after the receipt by the Trustee of such notice, unless the Trustee shall consent to an earlier date), and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Amounts or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit on or prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Amounts as in this clause provided. Thereupon the Company shall fix a special record date for the payment of such Defaulted Amounts which shall be not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment, and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee of such special record date and the Trustee, in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Amounts and the special record date therefor to be mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder at its address as it appears in the Note Register, not less than 10 days prior to such special record date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Amounts and the special record date therefor having been so mailed, such Defaulted Amounts shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the Notes (or their respective Predecessor Notes) are registered at the close of business on such special record date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following clause (ii) of this Section 2.03(c).

(ii) The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Amounts in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange or automated quotation system on which the Notes may be listed or designated for issuance, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange or automated quotation system, if, after notice given by the Company to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this clause, such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee.

Section 2.04. Execution, Authentication and Delivery of Notes . The Notes shall be signed in the name and on behalf of the Company by the manual or facsimile signature of an Officer of the Company.

At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, subject to Section 2.10 if this Indenture is being reopened in order to issue additional Notes hereunder, the Company may deliver Notes executed by the Company to the Trustee for authentication, together with a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of such Notes, and the Trustee in accordance with such Company Order shall authenticate and deliver such Notes, without any further action by the Company hereunder.

Only such Notes as shall bear thereon a certificate of authentication substantially in the form set forth on the form of Note attached as Exhibit A hereto, executed manually by an authorized officer of the Trustee (or an authenticating agent appointed by the Trustee as provided by Section 17.10), shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose. Such certificate by the Trustee (or such an authenticating agent) upon any Note executed by the Company shall be conclusive evidence that the Note so authenticated has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and that the Holder is entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.

In case any Officer of the Company who shall have signed any of the Notes shall cease to be such Officer before the Notes so signed shall have been authenticated and delivered by the Trustee, or disposed of by the Company, such Notes nevertheless may be authenticated and delivered or disposed of as though the Person who signed such Notes had not ceased to be such Officer of the Company; and any Note may be signed on behalf of the Company by such Persons as, at the actual date of the execution of such Note, shall be the Officers of the Company, although at the date of the execution of this Indenture any such Person was not such an Officer.

Section 2.05. Exchange and Registration of Transfer of Notes; Restrictions on Transfer; Depositary . (a) The Company shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office a register (the register maintained in such office or in any other office or agency of the Company designated pursuant to Section 4.02, the “ Note Register ”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of Notes and of transfers of Notes. Such register shall be in written form or in any form capable of being converted into written form within a reasonable period of time. The Trustee is hereby initially appointed the “ Note Registrar ” for the purpose of registering Notes and transfers of Notes as herein provided. The Company may appoint one or more co-Note Registrars in accordance with Section 4.02.

Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Note to the Note Registrar or any co-Note Registrar, and satisfaction of the requirements for such transfer set forth in this Section 2.05, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Notes of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount and bearing such restrictive legends as may be required by this Indenture.

Notes may be exchanged for other Notes of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Notes to be exchanged at any such office or

 

17


agency maintained by the Company pursuant to Section 4.02. Whenever any Notes are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Notes that the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive, bearing registration numbers not contemporaneously outstanding.

All Notes presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange, repurchase or conversion shall (if so required by the Company, the Trustee, the Note Registrar or any co-Note Registrar) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company, the Trustee, the Note Registrar or any co-Note Registrar and duly executed, by the Holder thereof or its attorney-in-fact duly authorized in writing.

No service charge shall be imposed by the Company, the Trustee, the Note Registrar, any co-Note Registrar or the Paying Agent for any exchange or registration of transfer of Notes, but the Company may require a Holder to pay a sum sufficient to cover any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax or other similar governmental charge required by law or otherwise permitted hereunder.

None of the Company, the Trustee, the Note Registrar and any co-Note Registrar shall be required to exchange or register a transfer of (i) any Notes surrendered for conversion or, if a portion of any Note is surrendered for conversion, such portion thereof surrendered for conversion or (ii) any Notes, or a portion of any Note, surrendered for repurchase (and not withdrawn) in accordance with Article 15.

All Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes in accordance with this Indenture shall be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as the Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.

(b) So long as the Notes are eligible for book-entry settlement with the Depositary, unless otherwise required by law, subject to the fourth paragraph from the end of Section 2.05(c) all Notes shall be represented by one or more Notes in global form (each, a “ Global Note ”) registered in the name of the Depositary or the nominee of the Depositary. The transfer and exchange of beneficial interests in a Global Note that does not involve the issuance of a Physical Note, shall be effected through the Depositary (but not the Trustee or the Custodian) in accordance with this Indenture (including the restrictions on transfer set forth herein) and the procedures of the Depositary therefor.

(c) Every Note that bears or is required under this Section 2.05(c) to bear the legend set forth in this Section 2.05(c) (the “ Restricted Securities ”) shall be subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section 2.05(c) (including the legend set forth below), unless such restrictions on transfer shall be eliminated or otherwise waived by written consent of the Company, and the Holder of each such Restricted Security, by such Holder’s acceptance thereof, agrees to be bound by all such restrictions on transfer.

Until the date (the “ Resale Restriction Termination Date ”) that is the later of (1) the date that is one year after the last date of original issuance of the Notes, or such shorter period of

 

18


time as permitted by Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any successor provision thereto, and (2) such later date, if any, as may be required by applicable law, any certificate evidencing such Note (and all securities issued in exchange therefor or substitution thereof, if applicable) shall bear a legend in substantially the following form (unless such Notes have been transferred pursuant to a registration statement that has become or been declared effective under the Securities Act and that continues to be effective at the time of such transfer, or sold pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144 or any similar provision then in force under the Securities Act, or unless otherwise agreed by the Company in writing, with notice thereof to the Trustee):

THIS SECURITY HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ SECURITIES ACT ”), AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE FOLLOWING SENTENCE. BY ITS ACQUISITION HEREOF OR OF A BENEFICIAL INTEREST HEREIN, THE ACQUIRER:

1. REPRESENTS THAT IT AND ANY ACCOUNT FOR WHICH IT IS ACTING IS A “QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER” (WITHIN THE MEANING OF RULE 144A UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT) AND THAT IT EXERCISES SOLE INVESTMENT DISCRETION WITH RESPECT TO EACH SUCH ACCOUNT, AND

2. AGREES FOR THE BENEFIT OF WRIGHT MEDICAL GROUP, INC. (THE “ COMPANY ”), AND AT AND AFTER THE EXECUTION OF THE GUARANTEE, THE GUARANTOR, THAT IT WILL NOT OFFER, SELL, PLEDGE OR OTHERWISE TRANSFER THIS SECURITY OR ANY BENEFICIAL INTEREST HEREIN PRIOR TO THE DATE THAT IS THE LATER OF (X) ONE YEAR AFTER THE LAST ORIGINAL ISSUE DATE HEREOF OR SUCH SHORTER PERIOD OF TIME AS PERMITTED BY RULE 144 UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR ANY SUCCESSOR PROVISION THERETO AND (Y) SUCH LATER DATE, IF ANY, AS MAY BE REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EXCEPT:

(A) TO THE COMPANY, THE GUARANTOR, IF APPLICABLE, OR ANY SUBSIDIARIES THEREOF, OR

(B) PURSUANT TO A REGISTRATION STATEMENT WHICH HAS BECOME EFFECTIVE UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, OR

(C) TO A QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER IN COMPLIANCE WITH RULE 144A UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, OR

(D) PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION PROVIDED BY RULE 144 UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR ANY OTHER AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT.

PRIOR TO THE REGISTRATION OF ANY TRANSFER IN ACCORDANCE WITH (2)(D) ABOVE, THE COMPANY, THE GUARANTOR, IF APPLICABLE, AND THE

 

19


TRUSTEE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO REQUIRE THE DELIVERY OF SUCH LEGAL OPINIONS, CERTIFICATIONS OR OTHER EVIDENCE AS MAY REASONABLY BE REQUIRED IN ORDER TO DETERMINE THAT THE PROPOSED TRANSFER IS BEING MADE IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE SECURITIES ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. NO REPRESENTATION IS MADE AS TO THE AVAILABILITY OF ANY EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT.

No transfer of any Note prior to the Resale Restriction Termination Date will be registered by the Note Registrar unless the applicable box on the Form of Assignment and Transfer has been checked.

Any Note (or security issued in exchange or substitution therefor) as to which such restrictions on transfer shall have expired in accordance with their terms may, upon surrender of such Note for exchange to the Note Registrar in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.05, be exchanged for a new Note or Notes, of like tenor and aggregate principal amount, which shall not bear the restrictive legend required by this Section 2.05(c) and shall not be assigned a restricted CUSIP number. The Company shall be entitled to instruct the Custodian in writing to so surrender any Global Note as to which such restrictions on transfer shall have expired in accordance with their terms for exchange, and, upon such instruction, the Custodian shall so surrender such Global Note for exchange; and any new Global Note so exchanged therefor shall not bear the restrictive legend specified in this Section 2.05(c) and shall not be assigned a restricted CUSIP number. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee upon the occurrence of the Resale Restriction Termination Date and promptly after a registration statement, if any, with respect to the Notes has been declared effective under the Securities Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, on and after the Resale Restriction Termination Date, any Note (or security issued in exchange or substitution therefor) will bear the restrictive legend required by this Section 2.05(c) at any time the Company reasonably determines that, to comply with applicable law, such Note (or security issued in exchange or substitution therefore) must bear such legend.

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture (other than the provisions set forth in this Section 2.05(c)), a Global Note may not be transferred as a whole or in part except (i) by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary or by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or another nominee of the Depositary or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary and (ii) to the extent otherwise permitted hereunder.

The Depositary shall be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act. The Company initially appoints The Depository Trust Company to act as Depositary with respect to each Global Note. Initially, each Global Note shall be issued to the Depositary, registered in the name of Cede & Co., as the nominee of the Depositary, and deposited with the Trustee as custodian for Cede & Co.

A beneficial interest in a Global Note may only be exchanged for a Physical Note if (i) the Depositary notifies the Company at any time that the Depositary is unwilling or unable to continue as depositary for the Global Notes and a successor depositary is not appointed within

 

20


90 days, (ii) the Depositary ceases to be registered as a clearing agency under the Exchange Act and a successor depositary is not appointed within 90 days or (iii) an Event of Default with respect to the Notes has occurred and is continuing and a beneficial owner of any Note requests that its beneficial interest therein be issued as a Physical Note, and in any such event the Company shall execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of Notes, shall authenticate and deliver (x) in the case of clause (iii), a Physical Note to such beneficial owner in a principal amount equal to the principal amount of such Note corresponding such beneficial owner’s beneficial interest and (y) in the case of clause (i) or (ii), Physical Notes to each beneficial owner of the related Global Notes (or a portion thereof) in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of such Global Notes in exchange for such Global Notes, and upon delivery of the Global Notes to the Trustee such Global Notes shall be canceled.

Physical Notes issued in exchange for all or a part of the Global Note pursuant to this Section 2.05(c) shall be registered in such names and in such authorized denominations as the Depositary, pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee. Upon execution and authentication, the Trustee shall deliver such Physical Notes to the Persons in whose names such Physical Notes are so registered.

At such time as all interests in a Global Note have been converted, canceled, repurchased or transferred, such Global Note shall be, upon receipt thereof, canceled by the Trustee in accordance with standing procedures and existing instructions between the Depositary and the Custodian. At any time prior to such cancellation, if any interest in a Global Note is exchanged for Physical Notes, converted, canceled, repurchased or transferred to a transferee who receives Physical Notes therefor or any Physical Note is exchanged or transferred for part of such Global Note, the principal amount of such Global Note shall, in accordance with the standing procedures and instructions existing between the Depositary and the Custodian, be appropriately reduced or increased, as the case may be, and an endorsement shall be made on such Global Note, by the Trustee or the Custodian, at the direction of the Trustee, to reflect such reduction or increase.

None of the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall have any responsibility or liability for the payment of amounts to owners of beneficial interests in a Global Note, for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests of a Global Note or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests. None of the Company, the Trustee, any agent of the Company or the Trustee, the Note Registrar, any co-Note Registrar, the Paying Agent, the Bid Solicitation Agent or the Conversion Agent shall have any responsibility for the performance by the Depositary or its participants or indirect participants of their respective obligations under the rules and procedures governing their operations.

(d) [Reserved.]

(e) Any Note that is repurchased or owned by any Affiliate of the Company may not be resold by such Affiliate unless registered under the Securities Act or resold pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act in a transaction that results in such Note no longer being a “restricted security” (as defined under Rule 144 under the Securities Act).

Section 2.06. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Notes . In case any Note shall become mutilated or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Company in its discretion may execute, and upon its written request the Trustee or an authenticating agent appointed by the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, a new Note, bearing a registration number not contemporaneously outstanding, in exchange and substitution for the mutilated Note, or in lieu of and in substitution for the Note so destroyed, lost or stolen. In every case the applicant for a substituted Note shall furnish to the Company, to the Trustee and, if applicable, to such authenticating agent such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless from any loss, liability, cost or expense caused by or connected with such substitution, and, in every case of destruction, loss or theft, the applicant shall also furnish to the Company, to the Trustee and, if applicable, to such authenticating agent evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of such Note and of the ownership thereof.

The Trustee or such authenticating agent may authenticate any such substituted Note and deliver the same upon the receipt of such security or indemnity as the Trustee, the Company and, if applicable, such authenticating agent may require. No service charge shall be imposed by the Company, the Trustee, the Note Registrar, any co-Note Registrar or the Paying Agent upon the issuance of any substitute Note, but the Company may require a Holder to pay a sum sufficient to cover any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax or other similar governmental charge required by law or otherwise permitted hereunder. In case any Note that has matured or is about to mature or has been surrendered for required repurchase or is about to be converted in accordance with Article 14 shall become mutilated or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Company may, in its sole discretion, instead of issuing a substitute Note, pay or authorize the payment of or convert or authorize the conversion of the same (without surrender thereof except in the case of a mutilated Note), as the case may be, if the applicant for such payment or conversion shall furnish to the Company, to the Trustee and, if applicable, to such authenticating agent such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless for any loss, liability, cost or expense caused by or connected with such substitution, and, in every case of destruction, loss or theft, evidence satisfactory to the Company, the Trustee and, if applicable, any Paying Agent or Conversion Agent evidence of their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of such Note and of the ownership thereof.

Every substitute Note issued pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.06 by virtue of the fact that any Note is destroyed, lost or stolen shall constitute an additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall be found at any time, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of (but shall be subject to all the limitations set forth in) this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Notes duly issued hereunder. To the extent permitted by law, all Notes shall be held and owned upon the express condition that the foregoing provisions are exclusive with respect to the replacement or payment or conversion or repurchase of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes and shall preclude any and all other rights or remedies notwithstanding any law or statute existing or hereafter enacted to the contrary with respect to the replacement or payment or conversion of negotiable instruments or other securities without their surrender.

Section 2.07. Temporary Notes . Pending the preparation of Physical Notes, the Company may execute and the Trustee or an authenticating agent appointed by the Trustee shall, upon written request of the Company, authenticate and deliver temporary Notes (printed or

 

22


lithographed). Temporary Notes shall be issuable in any authorized denomination, and substantially in the form of the Physical Notes but with such omissions, insertions and variations as may be appropriate for temporary Notes, all as may be determined by the Company. Every such temporary Note shall be executed by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee or such authenticating agent upon the same conditions and in substantially the same manner, and with the same effect, as the Physical Notes. Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall execute and deliver to the Trustee or such authenticating agent Physical Notes (other than any Global Note) and thereupon any or all temporary Notes (other than any Global Note) may be surrendered in exchange therefor, at each office or agency maintained by the Company pursuant to Section 4.02 and the Trustee or such authenticating agent shall authenticate and deliver in exchange for such temporary Notes an equal aggregate principal amount of Physical Notes. Such exchange shall be made by the Company at its own expense and without any charge therefor. Until so exchanged, the temporary Notes shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits and subject to the same limitations under this Indenture as Physical Notes authenticated and delivered hereunder.

Section 2.08. Cancellation of Notes Paid, Converted, Etc . The Company shall cause all Notes surrendered for the purpose of payment, repurchase, registration of transfer or exchange or conversion, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee (including any of the Company’s Agents, Subsidiaries or Affiliates), to be delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. All Notes delivered to the Trustee shall be canceled promptly by it, and no Notes shall be authenticated in exchange thereof except as expressly permitted by any of the provisions of this Indenture. The Trustee shall dispose of canceled Notes in accordance with its customary procedures and, after such disposition, shall deliver a certificate of such disposition to the Company, at the Company’s written request in a Company Order.

Section 2.09. CUSIP Numbers . The Company in issuing the Notes may use “CUSIP” numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use “CUSIP” numbers in all notices issued to Holders as a convenience to such Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or on such notice and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any change in the “CUSIP” numbers.

Section 2.10. Additional Notes; Repurchases . The Company may, without the consent of the Holders, reopen this Indenture and issue additional Notes hereunder with the same terms and conditions, except for any difference in the issue price and interest accrued prior to the issue date of the additional Notes, and with the same CUSIP number as the Notes initially issued hereunder in an unlimited aggregate principal amount; provided that if such additional Notes are not fungible with the Notes initially issued hereunder for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the additional Notes shall have a separate CUSIP number. In addition, the Company may, to the extent permitted by law, and directly or indirectly (regardless of whether such Notes are surrendered to the Company), repurchase Notes in the open market or otherwise, whether by the Company or its Subsidiaries or through a privately negotiated transaction or public tender or exchange offer or through counterparties to private agreements, including by cash-settled swaps or other derivatives, in each case, without prior notice to Holders and without any obligation under this Section 2.10 to repurchase any other Holder’s Notes. The Company shall cause any

 

23


Notes so repurchased (other than Notes repurchased pursuant to cash-settled swaps or other cash-settled derivatives) to be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation in accordance with Section 2.08.

Section 2.11. Additional Amounts . (a) All payments made by or on behalf of, the Company or Tornier (or any successor entity) under or with respect to the notes or any guarantee will be made free and clear of and without withholding or deduction for, or on account of, any present or future tax, duty, levy, impost, assessment or other governmental charge (including penalties, interest and any other liabilities related thereto, and, for the avoidance of doubt, including any withholding or deduction for or on account of any of the foregoing) (“ Taxes ”), unless the withholding or deduction of such Taxes is then required by law. To the extent Tornier (or any successor entity) is not a “United States person” as defined in section 7701(a)(30) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “ Code ” and any such person that is not a “United States person”, a “ non-U.S. person ”) and any deduction or withholding for, or on account of, any Taxes imposed or levied by or on behalf of (1) any jurisdiction in which a non-U.S. person is then incorporated, engaged in business, organized or resident for tax purposes or any political subdivision thereof or therein or (2) any jurisdiction from or through which payment is made by or on behalf of such non-U.S. person (including, without limitation, the jurisdiction of any paying agent) or any political subdivision thereof or therein (each of (1) and (2), a “ Tax Jurisdiction ”), will at any time be required to be made from any payments under or with respect to any guarantee of the Notes, including, without limitation, payments of principal, purchase price, interest or premium, such non-U.S. person will pay such additional amounts (the “ Additional Amounts ”) as may be necessary in order that the net amounts received and retained in respect of such payments after such withholding or deduction will equal the respective amounts of cash that would have been received and retained in respect of such payments in the absence of such withholding or deduction; provided, however , that no Additional Amounts will be payable with respect to:

(i) any Taxes, to the extent such Taxes would not have been imposed but for the Holder or the beneficial owner of the Notes (or a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, partner of, member or shareholder of, or possessor of a power over, the relevant holder, if the relevant holder is an estate, trust, nominee, partnership, limited liability company or corporation) being a citizen or resident or national of or incorporated in, the relevant Tax Jurisdiction in which such Taxes are imposed or having any other present or former connection with the relevant Tax Jurisdiction other than the acquisition or holding of such Notes, the exercise or enforcement of rights under such Note or this Indenture or under a guarantee or the receipt of payments in respect of such Note or a guarantee;

(ii) any Taxes, to the extent such Taxes were imposed as a result of the presentation of a Note for payment (where presentation is required) more than 30 days after the relevant payment is first made available for payment to the Holder (except to the extent that the Holder would have been entitled to Additional Amounts had the Note been presented on the last day of such 30 day period);

(iii) any estate, inheritance, gift, sale, transfer, personal property or similar Taxes;

 

24


(iv) any Taxes withheld, deducted or imposed on a payment to an individual and that are required to be made pursuant to European Council Directive 2003/48/EC or any other directive implementing the conclusions of the ECOFIN Council meeting of November 26 and 27, 2000 on the taxation of savings income, or any law implementing or complying with or introduced in order to conform to, such directive;

(v) any Taxes payable other than by deduction or withholding from payments under, or with respect to, any guarantee of the Notes;

(vi) any Taxes to the extent such Taxes are imposed or withheld by reason of the failure of the Holder or beneficial owner of notes, following the Company’s reasonable written request addressed to the Holder or beneficial owner at least 60 days before any such withholding or deduction would be applied to a payment to the Holder or beneficial owner, to comply with any certification, identification, information or other reporting requirements, whether required by statute, treaty, regulation or administrative practice of a Tax Jurisdiction, as a precondition to exemption from, or reduction in the rate of deduction or withholding of, Taxes imposed by the Tax Jurisdiction (including, without limitation, a certification that the Holder or beneficial owner is not resident in the Tax Jurisdiction), but in each case, only to the extent the Holder or beneficial owner is legally entitled to provide such certification or documentation;

(vii) any Taxes imposed or withheld by reason of the failure of the Holder or beneficial owner of the Notes to comply with the requirements of Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code as of the date hereof (or any amended or successor version that is substantively comparable and not materially more onerous to comply with), the U.S. Treasury Regulations issued thereunder or any official interpretation thereof or any agreement entered into pursuant to Section 1471(b) of the Code; or

(viii) any combination of clauses (i) through (vii) above.

In addition to the foregoing, any such non-U.S. person will also pay and indemnify the Holder for any present or future stamp, issue, registration, value added, transfer, court or documentary Taxes, or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies (including penalties, interest and any other liabilities related thereto) which are levied by any non-U.S. jurisdiction on the execution, delivery, issuance, or registration of any of the Notes, this Indenture, any guarantee or any other document referred to therein, or the receipt of any payments with respect thereto, or enforcement of, any of the Notes or any guarantee.

If any such non-U.S. person becomes aware that it will be obligated to pay Additional Amounts with respect to any payment under or with respect to any guarantee of the Notes, it will deliver to the Trustee on a date that is at least 30 days prior to the date of that payment (unless the obligation to pay Additional Amounts arises after the 30th day prior to that payment date, in which case it shall notify the Trustee promptly thereafter) an Officer’s Certificate stating the fact that Additional Amounts will be payable and the amount estimated to be so payable. The Officer’s Certificate must also set forth any other information reasonably necessary to enable the paying agents to pay Additional Amounts to Holders on the relevant payment date. Any such non-U.S. person will provide the Trustee with documentation reasonably satisfactory to the

 

25


Trustee evidencing the payment of Additional Amounts. The Trustee shall be entitled to rely absolutely on an Officer’s Certificate as conclusive proof that such payments are necessary, and may conclusively presume that no payments are necessary unless and until it receives any such Officer’s Certificate.

Any such non-U.S. person will make all withholdings and deductions (within the time period and in the minimum amount) required by law and will remit the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Tax authority in accordance with applicable law. Any such non-U.S. person will use its reasonable efforts to obtain Tax receipts from each Tax authority evidencing the payment of any Taxes so deducted or withheld.

(d) If, at any time during the six-month period beginning on, and including, the date that is six months after the last date of original issuance of the Notes, the Company fails to timely file any document or report that it is required to file with the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, as applicable (after giving effect to all applicable grace periods thereunder and other than reports on Form 8-K), or the Notes are not otherwise freely tradable by Holders other than the Company’s Affiliates (as a result of restrictions pursuant to U.S. securities laws or the terms of this Indenture or the Notes) (other than solely as a result of the Company no longer being subject to the reporting requirements under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act after the consummation of the Permitted Tornier Merger Transaction), the Company shall pay Additional Interest on the Notes.

Section 4.07. Stay, Extension and Usury Laws . The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it shall not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law or other law that would prohibit or forgive the Company from paying all or any portion of the principal of or interest on the Notes as contemplated herein, wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, or that may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Company (in each case, to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not, resort to any such law to the extent it would hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

The immediately preceding paragraph, however, is subject to the conditions that if, at any time after the principal of the Notes shall have been so declared due and payable, and before any judgment or decree for the payment of the monies due shall have been obtained or entered as hereinafter provided, the Company shall pay or shall deposit with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay installments of accrued and unpaid interest upon all Notes and the principal of any and all Notes that shall have become due otherwise than by acceleration (with interest on overdue installments of accrued and unpaid interest and on such principal to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under applicable law, at the rate borne by the Notes at such time) and amounts due to the Trustee pursuant to Section 7.06, and if (1) rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction and (2) any and all existing Events of Default under this Indenture, other than the nonpayment of the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on Notes that shall have become due solely by such acceleration, shall have been cured or waived pursuant to Section 6.09, then and in every such case (except as provided in the immediately succeeding sentence) the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, by written notice to the Company and to the Trustee, may waive all Defaults or Events of Default with respect to the Notes and rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences and such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver or rescission and annulment shall extend to or shall affect any subsequent Default or Event of Default, or shall impair any right consequent thereon. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no such waiver or rescission and annulment shall extend to or shall affect any Default or Event of Default resulting from (i) the nonpayment of the principal (including the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, if applicable) of, or accrued and unpaid interest on, any Notes or (ii) a failure to pay the cash due upon conversion of the Notes.

Section 6.03. Additional Interest . Notwithstanding anything in this Indenture or in the Notes to the contrary, to the extent the Company elects, the sole remedy for Event of Default relating to the Company’s failure to comply with its obligations (or, in addition rather than in lieu of, at and after the effective time of the Tornier Merger Transaction, Tornier’s failure to comply with its obligations) as set forth in Section 4.06(b) shall (i) for the first 90 days after the occurrence of such an Event of Default (beginning on, and including, the date on which such an Event of Default first occurs), consist exclusively of the right to receive Additional Interest on the notes equal to 0.25% per annum of the principal amount of such Notes outstanding for each day during such 90-day period on which such Event of Default is occurring and (ii) for the period from, and including, the 91st day after the occurrence of such an Event of Default to, and including, the 180th day after the occurrence of such an Event of Default, consist exclusively of the right to receive Additional Interest on the notes equal to 0.50% per annum of the principal amount of Notes outstanding for each day during such additional 90-day period on which such Event of Default is continuing. Additional Interest payable pursuant to this Section 6.03 shall be in addition to, not in lieu of, any Additional Interest payable pursuant to Section 4.06(d) or Section 4.06(e). If the Company so elects, such Additional Interest shall be payable in the same

 

33


manner and on the same dates as the stated interest payable on the Notes. On the 181st day after such Event of Default (if the Event of Default relating to the Company’s failure to file under Section 4.06(b) is not cured or waived prior to such 181st day), the Notes will be subject to acceleration as provided in Section 6.02. In the event the Company does not elect to pay Additional Interest following an Event of Default in accordance with this Section 6.03 or the Company elected to make such payment but does not pay the Additional Interest when due, the Notes shall be subject to acceleration as provided in Section 6.02.

In order to elect to pay Additional Interest as the sole remedy during the first 180 days after the occurrence of any Event of Default relating to the Company’s failure to comply with its obligations as set forth in Section 4.06(b), the Company must notify all Holders of the Notes, the Trustee and the Paying Agent of such election prior to the beginning of such 180-day period. Upon the failure to timely give such notice, the Notes shall be immediately subject to acceleration as provided in Section 6.02.

Section 6.04. Payments of Notes on Default; Suit Therefor . If an Event of Default described in clause (a) or (b) of Section 6.01 shall have occurred and is continuing, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, may institute a judicial proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree and may enforce the same against the Company or any other obligor upon the Notes and collect the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company or any other obligor upon the Notes, wherever situated.

In the event there shall be pending proceedings for the bankruptcy or for the reorganization of the Company or any other obligor on the Notes under Title 11 of the United States Code, or any other applicable law, or in case a receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization, liquidator, sequestrator or similar official shall have been appointed for or taken possession of the Company or such other obligor, the property of the Company or such other obligor, or in the event of any other judicial proceedings relative to the Company or such other obligor upon the Notes, or to the creditors or property of the Company or such other obligor, the Trustee shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceedings or otherwise, to file and prove a claim or claims for the whole amount of principal and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, in respect of the Notes, and, in case of any judicial proceedings, to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents and to take such other actions as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and of the Holders allowed in such judicial proceedings relative to the Company or any other obligor on the Notes, its or their creditors, or its or their property, and to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims, and to distribute the same after the deduction of any amounts due to the Trustee under Section 7.06; and any receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization, liquidator, custodian or similar official is hereby authorized by each of the Holders to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for reasonable compensation, expenses, advances and disbursements, including agents and counsel fees, and including any other amounts due to the Trustee under Section 7.06, incurred by it up to the date of such distribution. To the extent that such payment of reasonable compensation, expenses, advances and disbursements out of the

 

34


estate in any such proceedings shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, monies, securities and other property that the Holders of the Notes may be entitled to receive in such proceedings, whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise.

Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting such Holder or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

All rights of action and of asserting claims under this Indenture, or under any of the Notes, may be enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Notes, or the production thereof at any trial or other proceeding relative thereto, and any such suit or proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Notes.

In any proceedings brought by the Trustee (and in any proceedings involving the interpretation of any provision of this Indenture to which the Trustee shall be a party) the Trustee shall be held to represent all the Holders of the Notes, and it shall not be necessary to make any Holders of the Notes parties to any such proceedings.

In case the Trustee shall have proceeded to enforce any right under this Indenture and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned because of any waiver pursuant to Section 6.09 or any rescission and annulment pursuant to Section 6.02 or for any other reason or shall have been determined adversely to the Trustee, then and in every such case the Company, the Holders, and the Trustee shall, subject to any determination in such proceeding, be restored respectively to their several positions and rights hereunder, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Company, the Holders, and the Trustee shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.

Any monies collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article 6 with respect to the Notes shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee for the distribution of such monies, upon presentation of the several Notes, and stamping thereon the payment, if only partially paid, and upon surrender thereof, if fully paid:

First , to the payment of all amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.06;

Second , to Holders for amounts due and unpaid on the Notes for principal and interest, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Notes for principal and interest, respectively; and

Third , to the Company.

Section 6.06. Proceedings by Holders . Except to enforce the right to receive payment of principal (including, if applicable, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price) or interest when due, or the right to receive payment of the cash due upon conversion, no Holder of any Note shall have any right by virtue of or by availing of any provision of this Indenture to institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law upon or under or with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver, trustee, liquidator, custodian or other similar official, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless:

(a) such Holder previously shall have given to the Trustee written notice of an Event of Default and of the continuance thereof, as herein provided;

(b) Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding have made written request upon the Trustee to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name as Trustee hereunder;

(c) such Holders have offered to the Trustee security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense to be incurred therein or thereby;

(d) the Trustee, for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity, has neglected or refused to institute any such action, suit or proceeding; and

(e) the Holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding have not given the Trustee a direction pursuant to Section 6.09 that, in the opinion of the Trustee, is inconsistent with such written request within such 60-day period, it being understood and intended, and being expressly covenanted by the taker and Holder of every Note with every other taker and Holder and the Trustee that no one or more Holders shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of or by availing of any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Holder, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority over or preference to any other such Holder, or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal, ratable and common benefit of all Holders (except as otherwise provided herein). For the protection and enforcement of this Section 6.06, each and every Holder and the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity.

Section 6.08. Remedies Cumulative and Continuing . Except as provided in the last paragraph of Section 2.06, all powers and remedies given by this Article 6 to the Trustee or to the Holders shall, to the extent permitted by law, be deemed cumulative and not exclusive of any thereof or of any other powers and remedies available to the Trustee or the Holders of the Notes, by judicial proceedings or otherwise, to enforce the performance or observance of the covenants and agreements contained in this Indenture, and no delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any of the Notes to exercise any right or power accruing upon any Default or Event of Default shall impair any such right or power, or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such Default or Event of Default or any acquiescence therein; and, subject to the provisions of Section 6.06 or as otherwise expressly provided in this Indenture, every power and remedy given by this Article 6 or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as shall be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders.

Upon any such waiver the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon. Whenever any Default or Event of Default hereunder shall have been waived as permitted by this Section 6.09, said Default or Event of Default shall for all purposes of the Notes and this Indenture be deemed to have been cured and to be not continuing; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

before the giving of such notice; provided that, except in the case of a Default in the payment of the principal of (including the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, if applicable), or accrued and unpaid interest on, any of the Notes or a Default in the payment of the cash due upon conversion, the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so long as a committee of Responsible Officers of the Trustee in good faith determines that the withholding of such notice is in the interests of the Holders.

Section 6.11. Undertaking to Pay Costs . All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Note by its acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may, in its discretion, require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; provided that the provisions of this Section 6.11 (to the extent permitted by law) shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Holder, or group of Holders, holding in the aggregate more than 10% in principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding determined in accordance with Section 8.04, or to any suit instituted by any Holder pursuant to the last paragraph of Section 6.06 (or, for the avoidance of doubt, to enforce the payment of any related Additional Amounts, if applicable).

Section 7.08. Eligibility of Trustee . There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder which shall be a Person that is eligible pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act to act as such and has a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000.

(ii) the Trustee shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation,

then, in either case, the Company may by execution of a Company Order remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so removed and one copy to the successor trustee, or, subject to the provisions of Section 6.11, any Holder who has been a bona fide holder of a Note or Notes for at least six months may, on behalf of himself or herself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor trustee. Such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee.

(c) The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding, as determined in accordance with Section 8.04, may at any time remove the Trustee and nominate a successor trustee that shall be deemed appointed as successor trustee unless within ten days after notice to the Company of such nomination the Company objects thereto, in which case the Trustee so removed or any Holder, upon the terms and conditions and otherwise as in Section 7.09(a) provided, may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for an appointment of a successor trustee.

Section 7.10. Acceptance by Successor Trustee . Any successor trustee appointed as provided in Section 7.09 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to its predecessor trustee an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor trustee shall become effective and such successor trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as Trustee herein; but, nevertheless, on the written request of the Company or of the

 

43


successor trustee, the trustee ceasing to act shall, upon payment of any amounts then due it pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.06, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor trustee all the rights and powers of the trustee so ceasing to act. Upon request of any such successor trustee, the Company shall execute any and all instruments in writing for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor trustee all such rights and powers. Any trustee ceasing to act shall, nevertheless, retain a senior claim to which the Notes are hereby made subordinate on all money or property held or collected by such trustee as such, except for funds held in trust for the benefit of Holders of particular Notes, to secure any amounts then due it pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.06.

No successor trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section 7.10 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor trustee shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 7.08.

Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided in this Section 7.10, each of the Company and the successor trustee, at the written direction and at the expense of the Company shall mail or cause to be mailed notice of the succession of such trustee hereunder to the Holders at their addresses as they shall appear on the Note Register.

In case at the time such successor to the Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by this Indenture, any of the Notes shall have been authenticated but not delivered, any such successor to the Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor trustee or authenticating agent appointed by such predecessor trustee, and deliver such Notes so authenticated; and in case at that time any of the Notes shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the Trustee or an authenticating agent appointed by such successor trustee may authenticate such Notes either in the name of any predecessor trustee hereunder or in the name of the successor trustee; and in all such cases such certificates shall have the full force which it is anywhere in the Notes or in this Indenture provided that the certificate of the Trustee shall have; provided, however , that the right to adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor trustee or to authenticate Notes in the name of any predecessor trustee shall apply only to its successor or successors by merger, conversion or consolidation.

Notes so owned that have been pledged in good faith may

 

45


be regarded as outstanding for the purposes of this Section 8.04 if the pledgee shall establish to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee’s right to so act with respect to such Notes and that the pledgee is not the Company, a Subsidiary thereof or a Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Company or a Subsidiary thereof. In the case of a dispute as to such right, any decision by the Trustee taken upon the advice of counsel of its selection shall be full protection to the Trustee.

Upon such time, the Guarantor shall acknowledge and agree that it has provided its Guarantee for good and valuable consideration. Accordingly, subject to the provisions of this Article 13, the Guarantor shall unconditionally guarantee, on a senior unsecured basis, to each Holder and its successors and assigns that: (x) the principal of, premium, if any, and interest and Additional Interest, if any, on the Notes shall be duly and punctually paid in full when due, whether at the Maturity Date, upon acceleration, upon a repurchase, upon repurchase due to a Fundamental Change or otherwise, and interest on overdue principal, premium, if any, Additional Interest, if any, and (to the extent permitted by law) interest on any interest, if any, on the Notes and (y) in the case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other obligations, the same shall be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at the Maturity Date, by acceleration, upon repurchase, upon repurchase due to a Fundamental Change or otherwise. Furthermore, subject to the provisions of this Article 13, the Guarantor shall unconditionally guarantee, on a senior unsecured basis, to the Trustee and to each Holder and their respective successors and assigns that (z) all other obligations of the Company to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or under the Notes (including fees, expenses or other) shall be paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof, subject, however, in the case of clauses (x), (y) and (z) above, to the limitations set forth in Section 13.02 (the obligations set forth in this Section 13.01 collectively the “ Guarantee Obligations ”).

Subject to the provisions of this Article 13, the Guarantor shall agree that its Guarantee will be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of the Notes with respect to any thereof, the entry of any judgment against the Issuer, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of the Guarantor (other than payment in full of all of the obligations of the Company hereunder and under the Notes or release of the same in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture).

The Guarantor shall covenant that, except as otherwise provided herein or therein, the Guarantee shall not be discharged except by payment in full of all Guarantee Obligations, including the principal, premium, if any, and interest and Additional Interest, if any, on the Notes and all other costs provided for under this Indenture or as provided in Article 7 or by release of the same in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture.

If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to either the Company or the Guarantor, or any trustee or similar official acting in relation to either the Company or the Guarantor, any amount paid by the Company or the Guarantor to the Trustee or such Holder, the Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect. The Guarantor agrees that it shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the Holders in respect of any Guarantee Obligations hereby until payment in full of all such obligations guaranteed hereby. The Guarantor shall agree that, subject to the provisions of this Article 13, as between it, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (x) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated for purposes of the Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the Guarantee Obligations, and (y) in the event of any acceleration of such obligations, such Guarantee Obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantor for the purpose of the Guarantee.

Limitation of Guarantor’s Liability; Certain Bankruptcy Events . The Guarantor, and by its acceptance of the Notes, each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Guarantee Obligations of the Guarantor pursuant to its Guarantee shall not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of any Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal, state or other law to the extent applicable to the Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Holders and the Guarantor irrevocably agree that the Guarantee Obligations of the Guarantor under this Article 13 shall be limited to the maximum amount as shall, after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other contingent and fixed liabilities of the Guarantor that are relevant under such laws, result in the Guarantee Obligations of the Guarantor under the Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance under applicable law or being void or voidable under any law relating to insolvency or debt.

 

52


Section 13.03. Release of Guarantee . The Guarantee shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged, and shall thereupon terminate and be of no further force and effect, and no further action by the Guarantor, the Company or the Trustee is required for the release of the Guarantor’s Guarantee, upon the discharge of the Company’s obligations under this Indenture in accordance with the terms of this Indenture.

ARTICLE 14

CONVERSION OF NOTES

Section 14.01. Conversion Privilege . (a) Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of this Article 14, each Holder of a Note shall have the right, at such Holder’s option, to convert all or any portion (if the portion to be converted is $1,000 principal amount or an integral multiple thereof) of such Note solely into cash (i) subject to satisfaction of the conditions described in Section 14.01(b), at any time prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding August 15, 2019, and (ii) irrespective of the conditions described in Section 14.01(b), during the period from, and including, August 15, 2019 to the close of business on the second Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the Maturity Date, in each case, at an initial conversion rate of 32.3939 shares of Common Stock (subject to adjustment as provided in this Article 14, the “ Conversion Rate ”) per $1,000 principal amount of Notes (subject to, and in accordance with, the settlement provisions of Section 14.02, the “ Conversion Obligation ”). In addition, upon the effective time of the Tornier Merger Transaction, the Conversion Rate shall be equal to the product of (A) the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to such effective time multiplied by (B) the sum of (x) the quotient of the amount of cash that a holder of one share of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive in the Tornier Merger Transaction, if any, divided by the average of the Daily VWAPs for each of the 10 consecutive Trading Days immediately preceding the effective time of the Tornier Merger Transaction and (y) the number of Tornier Ordinary Shares that a holder of one share of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive in the Tornier Merger Transaction (subject to other adjustments to the Conversion Rate as provided in this Article 14). For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of this Section 14.01(a), the cash and the number of Tornier Ordinary Shares that a holder of one share of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive in the Tornier Merger Transaction will be determined without giving effect to any rounding down to the nearest Tornier Ordinary Share and excluding any cash paid for fractional Tornier Ordinary Shares as a result of any such rounding. The Notes shall not be convertible into shares of Common Stock or any other securities under any circumstances.

(b) (i) Prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding August 15, 2019, a Holder may surrender its Notes for conversion solely into cash during the five Business Day period immediately after any five consecutive Trading Day period (the “ Measurement Period ”) in which the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, as determined following a request by a Holder of Notes in accordance with this subsection (b)(i), for each Trading Day of the Measurement Period was less than 98% of the product of the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock and the Conversion Rate on each such Trading Day. The Trading Prices shall be determined by the Bid Solicitation Agent pursuant to this subsection (b)(i) and the definition of Trading Price set forth in this Indenture. The Bid Solicitation Agent shall have no obligation to determine the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes unless the Company has requested it in writing to make such determination, and the Company shall have no obligation to make such request unless a Holder provides the

 

53


Company with reasonable evidence that the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes would be less than 98% of the product of the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock and the Conversion Rate, at which time the Company shall instruct the Bid Solicitation Agent in writing to determine the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes in accordance with the provisions of the definition of Trading Price set forth in this Indenture beginning on the next Trading Day and on each successive Trading Day until the Trading Price per Note is greater than or equal to 98% of the product of the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock and the Conversion Rate. If on any date of determination (i) the Bid Solicitation Agent cannot reasonably obtain at least one bid for $5,000,000 principal amount of Notes from an independent nationally recognized securities dealer on any determination date, (ii) the Company has failed to request the Bid Solicitation Agent to obtain bids when required, (iii) the Company requested the Bid Solicitation Agent to obtain bids and the Bid Solicitation Agent has failed to obtain such bids or (iv) the Bid Solicitation Agent has obtained one or more such bids but the Company has failed to determine the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes for the relevant day, then, in any such case, the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes on such determination date shall be deemed to be less than 98% of the product of the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock and the Conversion Rate for the Notes on such date. If the Trading Price condition set forth above has been met, the Company shall so notify the Holders, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee). If, at any time after the Trading Price condition set forth above has been met, the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes is greater than or equal to 98% of the product of the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock and the applicable Conversion Rate, the Company shall so notify the Holders of the Notes, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee).

(ii) If:

(A) prior to the effective time of the Tornier Merger Transaction, the Company elects to:

(i) issue to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock any rights, options or warrants entitling them, for a period of not more than 60 calendar days after the announcement date of such issuance, to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Common Stock at a price per share that is less than the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock for the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of such issuance; or

(ii) distribute to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock the Company’s assets, debt securities or rights to purchase securities of the Company, which distribution has a per share value, as reasonably determined by the Board of Directors, exceeding 10% of the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day preceding the date of announcement for such distribution; or

 

54


(B) at and after the effective time of the Tornier Merger Transaction, Tornier elects to:

(i) issue to all or substantially all holders of Tornier Ordinary Shares any rights, options or warrants entitling them, for a period of not more than 60 calendar days after the announcement date of such issuance, to subscribe for or purchase Tornier Ordinary Shares at a price per share that is less than the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of Tornier Ordinary Shares for the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of such issuance; or

(ii) distribute to all or substantially all holders of Tornier Ordinary Shares Tornier’s assets, debt securities or rights to purchase securities of Tornier, which distribution has a per share value, as reasonably determined by Tornier’s Board of Directors, exceeding 10% of the Last Reported Sale Price of Tornier Ordinary Shares on the Trading Day preceding the date of announcement for such distribution,

then, in each case, the Company shall notify all Holders of the Notes, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee) at least 70 Scheduled Trading Days prior to the Ex-Dividend Date for such issuance or distribution. Once the Company has given such notice, the Holders may surrender their Notes for conversion solely into cash at any time until the earlier of (1) the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such issuance or distribution and (2) the Company’s (or Tornier’s, as applicable) announcement that such issuance or distribution will not take place, in each case, even if the Notes are not otherwise convertible at such time.

(iii) If (i) a transaction or event that constitutes a Fundamental Change or a Make-Whole Fundamental Change occurs, regardless of whether a Holder has the right to require the Company to repurchase the Notes pursuant to Section 15.02, or (ii)(x) prior to the effective time of the Tornier Merger Transaction, the Company is a party to a consolidation, merger, binding share exchange, or transfer or lease of all or substantially all of its assets, pursuant to which the Common Stock would be converted into cash, securities or other assets (in the case of this clause (x), (a) other than the Permitted Tornier Merger Transaction and (b) other than any merger or binding share exchange, in each case, solely for the purpose of changing the Company’s jurisdiction of organization that (I) does not constitute a Fundamental Change or a Make-Whole Fundamental Change and (II) results in a reclassification, conversion or exchange of outstanding shares of the Common Stock solely into shares of common stock of the surviving entity and such surviving entity is a corporation or limited liability company that is treated, or, if disregarded for U.S. federal income tax purposes, its regarded corporate owner is treated, as a “United States person” under Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (a “ U.S. Entity ”)) or (y) after the effective time of the Tornier Merger Transaction, Tornier is a party to a consolidation, merger, binding share exchange, or transfer or lease of all or substantially

 

55


all of Tornier’s assets, pursuant to which the Tornier Ordinary Shares would be converted into cash, securities or other assets (in the case of this clause (y), other than any merger or binding share exchange, in each case, solely for the purpose of changing Tornier’s jurisdiction of organization that (I) does not constitute a Fundamental Change or a Make-Whole Fundamental Change and (II) results in a reclassification, conversion or exchange of outstanding Tornier Ordinary Shares solely into shares of common stock of the surviving entity which common stock is listed on The New York Stock Exchange, The NASDAQ Global Select Market or The NASDAQ Global Market (or any of their respective successors), and such surviving entity is a corporation or limited liability company organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof, or the District of Columbia), in each case, the Notes may be surrendered for conversion solely into cash at any time from or after the date that is 35 Scheduled Trading Days prior to the anticipated effective date of the transaction (or, if later, the Business Day after the Company gives notice of such transaction) until 35 Trading Days after the actual effective date of such transaction or, if such transaction also constitutes a Fundamental Change, until the related Fundamental Change Repurchase Date. The Company shall notify Holders, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee) (i) as promptly as practicable following the date the Company (or Tornier, as applicable) publicly announces such transaction but in no event less than 35 Scheduled Trading Days prior to the anticipated effective date of such transaction or (ii) if the Company (and Tornier, if applicable) does not have knowledge of the anticipated effective date of such transaction at least 35 Scheduled Trading Days prior to the anticipated effective date of such transaction, within three Business Days of the date upon which the Company (or Tornier, as applicable) receives notice, or otherwise becomes aware, of the anticipated effective date of such transaction, but in no event later than the actual effective date of such transaction. The anticipated effective date of any such transaction shall be determined by the Company in the Company’s reasonable discretion, and in no event shall the Company be deemed to have knowledge of the anticipated effective date of a merger prior to entering into the related merger agreement.

(iv) Prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding August 15, 2019, a Holder may surrender all or a portion of its Notes for conversion solely into cash during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ending on March 31, 2015 (and only during such calendar quarter), if the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock for at least 20 Trading Days (whether or not consecutive) during the period of 30 consecutive Trading Days ending on the last Trading Day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the Conversion Price on each applicable Trading Day. The Conversion Agent, at the beginning of each calendar quarter commencing after March 31, 2015, shall notify the Company and the Trustee (if other than the Conversion Agent) if it believes the Notes have become convertible in accordance with this clause (iv), and the Company shall determine whether the Notes have become so convertible. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee) of such determination.

 

56


Section 14.02. Conversion Procedure; Payment Upon Conversion .

(a) Except as provided in Section 14.03(b) and Section 14.07(a), upon conversion of any Note, on the third Business Day immediately following the last Trading Day of the relevant Observation Period, the Company shall pay to the converting Holder, in respect of each $1,000 principal amount of Notes being converted, a “ Settlement Amount ” in cash equal to the sum of the Daily Conversion Values for each of the 60 Trading Days during the relevant Observation Period for such Note. The Daily Conversion Values and the Settlement Amount shall be determined by the Company promptly following the last Trading Day of the relevant Observation Period. Promptly after such determination of the Daily Conversion Values and the Settlement Amount, the Company shall notify the Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee) of the Daily Conversion Values and the Settlement Amount. The Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee) shall have no responsibility for any such determination.

(b) Subject to Section 14.02(e), before any Holder of a Note shall be entitled to convert a Note as set forth above, such Holder shall (i) in the case of a Global Note, comply with the procedures of the Depositary in effect at that time and, if required, pay funds equal to interest payable on the next Interest Payment Date to which such Holder is not entitled as set forth in Section 14.02(h) and (ii) in the case of a Physical Note (1) complete, manually sign and deliver an irrevocable notice to the Conversion Agent as set forth in the Form of Notice of Conversion (or a facsimile thereof) (a “ Notice of Conversion ”) at the office of the Conversion Agent and state in writing therein the principal amount of Notes to be converted, (2) surrender such Notes, duly endorsed to the Company or in blank (and accompanied by appropriate endorsement and transfer documents), at the office of the Conversion Agent, (3) if required, furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and (4) if required, pay funds equal to interest payable on the next Interest Payment Date to which such Holder is not entitled as set forth in Section 14.02(h). The Trustee (and, if different, the Conversion Agent) shall notify the Company of any conversion pursuant to this Article 14 on the Conversion Date for such conversion. No Notice of Conversion with respect to any Notes may be surrendered by a Holder thereof if such Holder has also delivered a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice to the Company in respect of such Notes and has not validly withdrawn such Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice in accordance with Section 15.03.

If more than one Note shall be surrendered for conversion at one time by the same Holder, the Conversion Obligation with respect to such Notes shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes (or specified portions thereof to the extent permitted thereby) so surrendered.

(c) A Note shall be deemed to have been converted immediately prior to the close of business on the date (the “ Conversion Date ”) that the Holder has complied with the requirements set forth in subsection (b) above.

(d) In case any Note shall be surrendered for partial conversion, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to or upon the written order of the Holder of the Note so surrendered a new Note or Notes in authorized denominations in an aggregate principal amount equal to the unconverted portion of the surrendered Note, without payment of any service charge by the converting Holder but, if required by the Company or Trustee, with payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge required by law or otherwise permitted hereunder.

 

57


(e) [Reserved.]

(f) [Reserved.]

(g) Upon the conversion of an interest in a Global Note, the Trustee, or the Custodian at the direction of the Trustee, shall make a notation on such Global Note as to the reduction in the principal amount represented thereby. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of any conversion of Notes effected through any Conversion Agent other than the Trustee.

(h) Upon conversion, a Holder shall not receive any separate cash payment for accrued and unpaid interest, if any, except as set forth below. The Company’s payment of the full Conversion Obligation shall be deemed to satisfy in full its obligation to pay the principal amount of the Note and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the relevant Conversion Date. As a result, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the relevant Conversion Date shall be deemed to be paid in full rather than cancelled, extinguished or forfeited. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Notes are converted after the close of business on a Regular Record Date, Holders of such Notes as of the close of business on such Regular Record Date will receive the full amount of interest payable on such Notes on the corresponding Interest Payment Date notwithstanding the conversion. Notes surrendered for conversion during the period from the close of business on any Regular Record Date to the open of business on the immediately following Interest Payment Date must be accompanied by funds equal to the amount of interest payable on the Notes so converted; provided that no such payment shall be required (1) for conversions following the Regular Record Date immediately preceding the Maturity Date; (2) if the Company has specified a Fundamental Change Repurchase Date that is after a Regular Record Date and on or prior to the Business Day immediately following the corresponding Interest Payment Date; or (3) to the extent of any overdue interest, if any overdue interest exists at the time of conversion with respect to such Note.

Section 14.03. Increased Conversion Rate Applicable to Certain Notes Surrendered in Connection with Make-Whole Fundamental Changes . (a) If a Make-Whole Fundamental Change occurs prior to the Maturity Date and a Holder elects to convert its Notes in connection with such Make-Whole Fundamental Change, the Company shall, under the circumstances described below, pay a cash make-whole premium (the “ Cash Make-Whole Premium ”) by increasing the Conversion Rate for the Notes so surrendered for conversion, as described below. A conversion of Notes shall be deemed for these purposes to be “in connection with” such Make-Whole Fundamental Change if the relevant Notice of Conversion is received by the Conversion Agent from, and including, the Effective Date of the Make-Whole Fundamental Change up to, and including, the Business Day immediately prior to the related Fundamental Change Repurchase Date (or, in the case of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change that would have been a Fundamental Change but for the proviso in clause (b)(x) or (b)(y) of the definition thereof, the 35th Trading Day immediately following the Effective Date of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change).

 

58


(b) Upon surrender of Notes for conversion in connection with a Make-Whole Fundamental Change pursuant to Section 14.01(b)(iii), the Company shall satisfy the related Conversion Obligation in solely cash in accordance with Section 14.02 based on the Conversion Rate as increased to reflect the Cash Make-Whole Premium pursuant to the table below; provided , however , that if, at the effective time of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change described in clause (b) of the definition of Fundamental Change, the Reference Property following such Make-Whole Fundamental Change is composed entirely of cash, for any conversion of Notes following the Effective Date of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change, the Conversion Obligation shall be calculated based solely on the Stock Price for the transaction and shall be deemed to be an amount of cash per $1,000 principal amount of converted Notes equal to the Conversion Rate (including any adjustment for the Cash Make-Whole Premium), multiplied by such Stock Price. In such event, the Conversion Obligation shall be paid to Holders in cash on the third Business Day following the Conversion Date. The Company shall notify the Holders of Notes of the Effective Date of any Make-Whole Fundamental Change and issue a press release announcing such Effective Date no later than five Business Days after such Effective Date.

(c) The amount, if any, by which the Conversion Rate shall be increased to reflect the Cash Make-Whole Premium for conversions of Notes in connection with a Make-Whole Fundamental Change shall be determined by reference to the table below, based on the date on which the Make-Whole Fundamental Change occurs or becomes effective (the “ Effective Date ”) and the price (the “ Stock Price ”) paid (or deemed to be paid) per share of the Common Stock in the Make-Whole Fundamental Change. If the holders of the Common Stock receive in exchange for their Common Stock only cash in a Make-Whole Fundamental Change described in clause (b) of the definition of Fundamental Change, the Stock Price shall be the cash amount paid per share. Otherwise, the Stock Price shall be the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the five Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the Effective Date of the Make-Whole Fundamental Change. The Board of Directors shall make appropriate adjustments to the Stock Price, in its good faith determination, to account for any adjustment to the Conversion Rate that becomes effective, or any event requiring an adjustment to the Conversion Rate where the Ex-Dividend Date of the event occurs, during such five consecutive Trading Day period.

(d) The Stock Prices set forth in the column headings of the table below shall be adjusted as of any date on which the Conversion Rate of the Notes is otherwise adjusted. The adjusted Stock Prices shall equal the Stock Prices applicable immediately prior to such adjustment, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Conversion Rate immediately prior to such adjustment giving rise to the Stock Price adjustment and the denominator of which is the Conversion Rate as so adjusted. The amount by which the Conversion Rate shall be increased to reflect the Cash Make-Whole Premium set forth in the table below shall be adjusted in the same manner and at the same time as the Conversion Rate as set forth in Section 14.04.

 

59


(e) The following table sets forth the amount, if any, by which the Conversion Rate will be increased per $1,000 principal amount of Notes pursuant to this Section 14.03 for each Stock Price and Effective Date set forth below:

 

    Stock price

The exact Stock Prices and Effective Dates may not be set forth in the table above, in which case:

(i) if the Stock Price is between two Stock Prices in the table above or the Effective Date is between two Effective Dates in the table, the amount of the Conversion Rate increase shall be determined by a straight-line interpolation between the amount of the Conversion Rate increase set forth for the higher and lower Stock Prices and the earlier and later Effective Dates, as applicable, based on a 365-day year;

(ii) if the Stock Price is greater than $75.00 per share (subject to adjustment in the same manner as the Stock Prices set forth in the column headings of the table above pursuant to subsection (d) above), no adjustment to the Conversion Rate shall be made; and

(iii) if the Stock Price is less than $25.20 per share (subject to adjustment in the same manner as the Stock Prices set forth in the column headings of the table above pursuant to subsection (d) above), no adjustment to the Conversion Rate shall be made.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Conversion Rate per $1,000 principal amount of Notes exceed 39.6825, subject to adjustment in the same manner as the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 14.04.

(f) Nothing in this Section 14.03 shall prevent an adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 14.04 in respect of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change.

Section 14.04. Adjustment of Conversion Rate . The Conversion Rate shall be adjusted from time to time by the Company if any of the following events occurs, except that the Company shall not make any adjustments to the Conversion Rate if Holders of the Notes participate (other than in the case of a share split or share combination), at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of the Common Stock and solely as a result of holding the Notes, in any of the transactions described in this Section 14.04, without having to convert their Notes, as if they held a number of shares of the Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate, multiplied by the principal amount (expressed in thousands) of Notes held by such Holder.

(a) If the Company (or, at and after the effective time of the Tornier Merger Transaction, Tornier) exclusively issues shares of Common Stock as a dividend or distribution on shares of the Common Stock, or if the Company (or, at and after the effective time of the Tornier Merger Transaction, Tornier) effects a share split or share combination, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on the following formula:

 

  CR' = CR 0   x    

OS'

 
     OS 0    

 

60


where,

 

CR 0   =   the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date of such dividend or distribution, or immediately prior to the open of business on the Effective Date of such share split or share combination, as applicable;
CR'   =   the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the open of business on such Ex-Dividend Date or Effective Date;
OS 0   =   the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the open of business on such Ex-Dividend Date or Effective Date; and
OS'   =   the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such dividend, distribution, share split or share combination.

Any adjustment made under this Section 14.04(a) shall become effective immediately after the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution, or immediately after the open of business on the Effective Date for such share split or share combination, as applicable. If any dividend or distribution of the type described in this Section 14.04(a) is declared but not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall be immediately readjusted, effective as of the date the Board of Directors (or, at and after the effective time of the Tornier Merger Transaction, Tornier’s Board of Directors) determines not to pay such dividend or distribution, to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.

(b) If the Company (or, at and after the effective time of the Tornier Merger Transaction, Tornier) issues to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock any rights, options or warrants entitling them, for a period of not more than 60 calendar days after the announcement date of such issuance, to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Common Stock at a price per share that is less than the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock for the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of such issuance, the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:

 

  CR' = CR 0   x    

OS + X

 
    OS + Y  

where,

 

CR 0   =   the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such issuance;

 

61


CR'   =   the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the open of business on such Ex-Dividend Date;
OS 0   =   the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the open of business on such Ex-Dividend Date;
X   =   the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to such rights, options or warrants; and
Y   =   the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights, options or warrants, divided by the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of the issuance of such rights, options or warrants.

Any increase made under this Section 14.04(b) shall be made successively whenever any such rights, options or warrants are issued and shall become effective immediately after the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such issuance. To the extent that shares of the Common Stock are not delivered after the expiration of such rights, options or warrants, the Conversion Rate shall be decreased to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the increase with respect to the issuance of such rights, options or warrants been made on the basis of delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually delivered. If such rights, options or warrants are not so issued, the Conversion Rate shall be decreased to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such Ex-Dividend Date for such issuance had not occurred.

For purposes of this Section 14.04(b) and for the purpose of Section 14.01(b)(ii)(A)(i) and Section 14.01(b)(ii)(B)(i), in determining whether any rights, options or warrants entitle the holders to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Common Stock at less than such average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock for the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement for such issuance, and in determining the aggregate offering price of such shares of Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration received by the Company (or, at and after the effective time of the Tornier Merger Transaction, Tornier) for such rights, options or warrants and any amount payable on exercise or conversion thereof, the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined by the Board of Directors (or, at and after the effective time of the Tornier Merger Transaction, Tornier’s Board of Directors).

(c) If the Company distributes shares of its Capital Stock, evidences of its indebtedness, other of its assets or property or rights, options or warrants to acquire its Capital Stock or other securities, to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock (or, at and after the effective time of the Tornier Merger Transaction, Tornier distributes shares of Tornier’s Capital Stock, evidences of Tornier’s indebtedness, other assets or property of Tornier’s or rights, options or warrants to acquire Tornier’s Capital Stock or other securities, to all or substantially all holders of Tornier Ordinary Shares), excluding (i) dividends, distributions or issuances as to which an adjustment was effected pursuant to Section 14.04(a) or Section 14.04(b), (ii) dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash as to which an adjustment was effected pursuant to Section 14.04(d), and (iii) Spin-Offs as to which the

 

62


provisions set forth below in this Section 14.04(c) shall apply (any of such shares of Capital Stock, evidences of indebtedness, other assets or property or rights, options or warrants to acquire Capital Stock or other securities, the “ Distributed Property ”), then the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:

 

  CR' = CR 0   x    

SP 0

 
    SP 0  – FMV  

where,

 

CR 0   =   the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution;
CR'   =   the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the open of business on such Ex-Dividend Date;
SP 0   =   the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution; and
FMV   =   the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors) of the Distributed Property with respect to each outstanding share of the Common Stock on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution.

Any increase made under the portion of this Section 14.04(c) above shall become effective immediately after the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution. If such distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall be decreased to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such distribution had not been declared. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if “FMV” (as defined above) is equal to or greater than “SP 0 ” (as defined above), in lieu of the foregoing increase, each Holder of a Note shall receive, in respect of each $1,000 principal amount thereof, at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of the Common Stock receive the Distributed Property, the amount and kind of Distributed Property such Holder would have received if such Holder owned a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate in effect on the Ex-Dividend Date for the distribution. If the Board of Directors determines the “FMV” (as defined above) of any distribution for purposes of this Section 14.04(c) by reference to the actual or when-issued trading market for any securities, it shall in doing so consider the prices in such market over the same period used in computing the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution.

With respect to an adjustment pursuant to this Section 14.04(c) where there has been a payment of a dividend or other distribution on the Common Stock of shares of Capital Stock of any class or series, or similar equity interest, of or relating to a Subsidiary or other business unit of the Company, that are, or, when issued, will be, listed or admitted for trading on a U.S. national securities exchange (a “ Spin-Off ”), the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:

 

  CR' = CR 0   x    

FMV + MP 0

 
    MP 0  

 

63


where,

 

CR 0   =   the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the end of the Valuation Period;
CR'   =   the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the end of the Valuation Period;
FMV 0   =   the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Capital Stock or similar equity interest distributed to holders of the Common Stock applicable to one share of the Common Stock (or, at and after the effective time of the Tornier Merger Transaction, to holders of Tornier Ordinary Shares applicable to one Tornier Ordinary Share) (determined by reference to the definition of Last Reported Sale Price as set forth in Section 1.01 as if references therein to Common Stock were to such Capital Stock or similar equity interest) over the first 10 consecutive Trading Day period after, and including, the Ex-Dividend Date of the Spin-Off (the “ Valuation Period ”); and
MP 0   =   the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the Valuation Period.

The adjustment to the Conversion Rate under the preceding paragraph shall occur on the last Trading Day of the Valuation Period; provided that (i) in respect of any conversion during the Valuation Period, references in the portion of this Section 14.04(c) related to Spin-Offs with respect to “10 Trading Days” shall be deemed to be replaced solely in respect of that conversion with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed between the Ex-Dividend Date of such Spin-Off and the Conversion Date in determining the Conversion Rate and (ii) if the Ex-Dividend Date for the Spin-Off is less than 10 Trading Days prior to, and including, the end of the Observation Period in respect of any conversion, references in this Section 14.04(c) with respect to 10 Trading Days shall be deemed to be replaced solely in respect of that conversion with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed from, and including, the Ex-Dividend Date for the Spin-Off to, and including, the last Trading Day of such Observation Period.

For purposes of this Section 14.04(c), rights, options or warrants distributed by the Company pursuant to a stockholders rights or other plan to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Company’s Capital Stock, including Common Stock (either initially or under certain circumstances), which rights, options or warrants, until the occurrence of a specified event or events (“ Trigger Event ”): (i) are deemed to be transferred with such shares of the Common Stock; (ii) are not exercisable; and (iii) are also issued in respect of future issuances of the Common Stock, shall be deemed not to have been distributed for purposes of this Section 14.04(c) (and no adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this Section 14.04(c) will be required) until the occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event, whereupon such rights, options or warrants shall be deemed to have been distributed and an appropriate adjustment (if any is required) to the Conversion Rate shall be made under this Section 14.04(c). If any such right, option or warrant, including any such

 

64


existing rights, options or warrants distributed prior to the date of this Indenture, are subject to events, upon the occurrence of which such rights, options or warrants become exercisable to purchase different securities, evidences of indebtedness or other assets, then the date of the occurrence of any and each such event shall be deemed to be the date of distribution and Ex-Dividend Date with respect to new rights, options or warrants with such rights (in which case the existing rights, options or warrants shall be deemed to terminate and expire on such date without exercise by any of the holders thereof). In addition, in the event of any distribution (or deemed distribution) of rights, options or warrants, or any Trigger Event or other event (of the type described in the immediately preceding sentence) with respect thereto that was counted for purposes of calculating a distribution amount for which an adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this Section 14.04(c) was made, (1) in the case of any such rights, options or warrants that shall all have been redeemed or purchased without exercise by any holders thereof, upon such final redemption or purchase (x) the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted as if such rights, options or warrants had not been issued and (y) the Conversion Rate shall then again be readjusted to give effect to such distribution, deemed distribution or Trigger Event, as the case may be, as though it were a cash distribution, equal to the per share redemption or purchase price received by a holder or holders of the Common Stock with respect to such rights, options or warrants (assuming such holder had retained such rights, options or warrants), made to all holders of the Common Stock as of the date of such redemption or purchase, and (2) in the case of such rights, options or warrants that shall have expired or been terminated without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted as if such rights, options and warrants had not been issued.

For purposes of Section 14.04(a), Section 14.04(b) and this Section 14.04(c), any dividend or distribution to which this Section 14.04(c) is applicable that also includes one or both of:

(A) a dividend or distribution of shares of the Common Stock to which Section 14.04(a) is applicable (the “ Clause A Distribution ”); or

(B) a dividend or distribution of rights, options or warrants to which Section 14.04(b) is applicable (the “ Clause B Distribution ”),

then (1) such dividend or distribution, other than the Clause A Distribution and the Clause B Distribution, shall be deemed to be a dividend or distribution to which this Section 14.04(c) is applicable (the “ Clause C Distribution ”) and any Conversion Rate adjustment required by this Section 14.04(c) with respect to such Clause C Distribution shall then be made, and (2) the Clause A Distribution and Clause B Distribution shall be deemed to immediately follow the Clause C Distribution and any Conversion Rate adjustment required by Section 14.04(a) and Section 14.04(b) with respect thereto shall then be made, except that, if determined by the Company (I) the “Ex-Dividend Date” of the Clause A Distribution and the Clause B Distribution shall be deemed to be the Ex-Dividend Date of the Clause C Distribution and (II) any shares of the Common Stock included in the Clause A Distribution or Clause B Distribution shall be deemed not to be “outstanding immediately prior to the open of business on such Ex-Dividend Date or Effective Date” within the meaning of Section 14.04(a) or “outstanding immediately prior to the open of business on such Ex-Dividend Date” within the meaning of Section 14.04(b).

 

65


(d) If the Company (or, at and after the effective time of the Tornier Merger Transaction, Tornier) makes any cash dividend or distribution to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on the following formula:

 

  CR' = CR 0   x    

SP 0

 
    SP 0  – C  

where,

 

CR 0   =   the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution;
CR'   =   the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution;
SP 0   =   the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution; and
C   =   the amount in cash per share the Company (or, at and after the effective time of the Tornier Merger Transaction, Tornier) distributes to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock.

Any increase pursuant to this Section 14.04(d) shall become effective immediately after the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution. If such dividend or distribution is not so paid, the Conversion Rate shall be decreased, effective as of the date the Board of Directors (or, at and after the effective time of the Tornier Merger Transaction, Tornier’s Board of Directors) determines not to make or pay such dividend or distribution, to be the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if “C” (as defined above) is equal to or greater than “SP 0 ” (as defined above), in lieu of the foregoing increase, each Holder of a Note shall receive, for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes, at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of shares of the Common Stock, the amount of cash that such Holder would have received if such Holder owned a number of shares of the Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate on the Ex-Dividend Date for such cash dividend or distribution.

(e) If the Company or any of its Subsidiaries make (or, at and after the effective time of the Tornier Merger Transaction, Tornier or any of its Subsidiaries makes) a payment in respect of a tender or exchange offer for the Common Stock, to the extent that the cash and value of any other consideration included in the payment per share exceeds the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day next succeeding the last date on which tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer, as the case may be, the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:

 

  CR' = CR 0   x    

AC + (SP' x OS')

 
    OS 0  x SP'  

 

66


where,

 

CR 0   =   the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the 10th Trading Day immediately following, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires;
CR'   =   the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the close of business on the 10th Trading Day immediately following, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires;
AC   =   the aggregate value of all cash and any other consideration (as determined by the Board of Directors (or, at and after the effective time of the Tornier Merger Transaction, Tornier’s Board of Directors)) paid or payable for shares of the Common Stock purchased in such tender or exchange offer;
OS 0   =   the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the date such tender or exchange offer expires (prior to giving effect to the purchase of all shares of the Common Stock accepted for purchase or exchange in such tender or exchange offer);
OS'   =   the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after the date such tender or exchange offer expires (after giving effect to the purchase of all shares of the Common Stock accepted for purchase or exchange in such tender or exchange offer); and
SP'   =   the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period commencing on, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires.

The adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this Section 14.04(e) shall occur at the close of business on the 10th Trading Day immediately following, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires; provided that (i) in respect of any conversion within the 10 Trading Days immediately following, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the expiration date of any tender or exchange offer, references in this Section 14.04(e) with respect to 10 Trading Days shall be deemed replaced solely in respect of that conversion with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed between the date that such tender or exchange offer expires and the Conversion Date in determining the Conversion Rate and (ii) if the Trading Day next succeeding the expiration date of any tender or exchange offer is less than 10 Trading Days prior to, and including, the end of the Observation Period in respect of any conversion, references in this Section 14.04(e) with respect to 10 Trading Days shall be deemed replaced solely in respect of that conversion with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed from, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the expiration date to, and including, the last Trading Day of such Observation Period.

(f) [Reserved.]

(g) Except as stated herein, the Company shall not adjust the Conversion Rate for the issuance of (i) prior to the effective time of the Tornier Merger Transaction, shares of the Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of the Common Stock or the right to purchase shares of the Common Stock or such convertible or exchangeable

 

67


securities or (ii) at and after the effective time of the Tornier Merger Transaction, Tornier Ordinary Shares or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for Tornier Ordinary Shares or the right to purchase Tornier Ordinary Shares or such convertible or exchangeable securities.

(h) In addition to those adjustments required by clauses (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) of this Section 14.04, and to the extent permitted by applicable law and subject to the applicable rules of any exchange on which any of the Company’s securities are then listed, the Company from time to time may increase the Conversion Rate by any amount for a period of at least 20 Business Days if the Board of Directors (or, at and after the effective time of the Tornier Merger Transaction, Tornier’s Board of Directors) determines that such increase would be in the Company’s best interest. In addition, to the extent permitted by applicable law and subject to the applicable rules of any exchange on which any of the Company’s securities are then listed, the Company may (but is not required to) increase the Conversion Rate to avoid or diminish any income tax to holders of the Common Stock or rights to purchase Common Stock in connection with a dividend or distribution of shares (or rights to acquire shares) or similar event. Whenever the Conversion Rate is increased pursuant to either of the preceding two sentences, the Company shall mail to the Holder of each Note at its last address appearing on the Note Register a notice of the increase at least 15 days prior to the date the increased Conversion Rate takes effect, and such notice shall state the increased Conversion Rate and the period during which it will be in effect.

(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article 14, the Conversion Rate shall not be adjusted:

(i) upon the issuance of any shares of the Common Stock pursuant to any present or future plan providing for the reinvestment of dividends or interest payable on the Company’s (or, at and after the effective time of the Tornier Merger Transaction, Tornier’s) securities and the investment of additional optional amounts in shares of the Common Stock under any plan;

(ii) upon the issuance of any shares of the Common Stock or options or rights to purchase those shares pursuant to any present or future employee, director or consultant benefit plan or program of or assumed by the Company or any of the Company’s Subsidiaries (or, at and after the effective time of the Tornier Merger Transaction, Tornier or any of its Subsidiaries);

(iii) upon the issuance of any shares of the Common Stock pursuant to any option, warrant, right or exercisable, exchangeable or convertible security not described in clause (ii) of this subsection and outstanding as of the date the Notes were first issued;

(iv) solely for a change in the par value of the Common Stock; or

(v) for accrued and unpaid interest, if any.

(j) All calculations and other determinations in respect of the Conversion Rate shall be made by the Company and shall be made to the nearest one-ten thousandth (1/10,000th) of a share.

 

68


(k) Whenever the Conversion Rate is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall promptly file with the Trustee (and the Conversion Agent if not the Trustee) an Officer’s Certificate setting forth the Conversion Rate after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment. Unless and until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have received such Officer’s Certificate, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any adjustment of the Conversion Rate and may assume without inquiry that the last Conversion Rate of which it has knowledge is still in effect. Promptly after delivery of such certificate, the Company shall disseminate a press release detailing the new Conversion Rate and other relevant information. Failure to disseminate such press release shall not affect the legality or validity of any such adjustment.

(l) For purposes of this Section 14.04, the number of shares of the Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of the Company so long as the Company does not pay any dividend or make any distribution on shares of the Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company, but shall include shares issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of shares of the Common Stock.

(m) A Holder may, in some circumstances, including a distribution of cash dividends to holders of shares of Common Stock, be deemed to have received a distribution subject to U.S. federal income tax as a result of an adjustment or the nonoccurrence of an adjustment to the Conversion Rate. To the extent the applicable withholding agent pays withholding taxes or backup withholding on behalf of a holder or beneficial owner (for U.S. federal income tax purposes) of a Note as a result of an adjustment or the nonoccurrence of an adjustment to the Conversion Rate, the applicable withholding agent may, at its option, set off such payments against payments of interest on the Note or the proceeds from the sale, conversion or other disposition of the Note.

Section 14.05. Adjustments of Prices . Whenever any provision of this Indenture requires the Company to calculate the Last Reported Sale Prices, the Daily VWAPs or the Daily Conversion Values (or, in each case, any function thereof) over a span of multiple days (including an Observation Period and the period for determining the Stock Price for purposes of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change), the Board of Directors (or, at and after the effective time of the Tornier Merger Transaction, Tornier’s Board of Directors) shall make appropriate adjustments to each to account for any adjustment to the Conversion Rate that becomes effective, or any event requiring an adjustment to the Conversion Rate where the Ex-Dividend Date of the event (or the effective time of the Tornier Merger Transaction, as applicable) occurs, at any time during the period when the Last Reported Sale Prices, the Daily VWAPs or the Daily Conversion Values are to be calculated.

Section 14.06. [Reserved] .

Section 14.07. Effect of Recapitalizations, Reclassifications and Changes of the Common Stock .

(a) In the case of:

(i) any recapitalization, reclassification or change of the Common Stock (other than changes resulting from a subdivision or combination),

(ii) any consolidation, merger or combination involving the Company (or, after the effective time of the Tornier Merger Transaction and after giving effect to the requirements and other provisions described in this Section 14.07 as they relate to the Tornier Merger Transaction, Tornier),

(iii) any sale, lease or other transfer to a third party of the consolidated assets of the Company and the Company’s Subsidiaries (or, after the effective time of the Tornier Merger Transaction and after giving effect to the requirements and other provisions described in this Section 14.07 as they relate to the Tornier Merger Transaction, of Tornier and its Subsidiaries) substantially as an entirety or

(iv) any statutory share exchange,

in each case, as a result of which the Common Stock would be converted into, or exchanged for, stock, other securities, other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof) (any such event, a “ Reorganization Event ”), then, at and after the effective time of such Reorganization Event, upon conversion of the Notes the Settlement Amount shall continue to be paid in solely cash; provided , however , that the Daily VWAP from and after the effective time of such Reorganization Event shall be calculated based on the value of the shares of stock, other securities or other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof) that a holder of one share of the Common Stock immediately prior to such Reorganization Event would have owned or been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such Reorganization Event (such shares of stock, other securities or other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof) the “ Reference Property ”, with each “ unit of Reference Property ” meaning the kind and amount of Reference Property that a holder of one share of Common Stock is entitled to receive), except that, in the case of the Tornier Merger Transaction, the Daily VWAP shall be calculated based on the value of the sum of (x) the amount of cash that a holder of one share of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive in the Tornier Merger Transaction, if any, and (y) the number of Tornier Ordinary Shares that a holder of one share of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive in the Tornier Merger Transaction. Prior to or at the effective time of such Reorganization Event, the Company or the successor or purchasing Person, as the case may be, shall execute with the Trustee a supplemental indenture permitted under Section 10.01(f) providing for such change in the right to convert each $1,000 principal amount of Notes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of the Permitted Tornier Merger Transaction, Tornier shall not be required to execute a supplemental indenture until 90 days after the effective date of the Permitted Tornier Merger Transaction.

For purposes of the foregoing, if the Reorganization Event causes the Common Stock to be converted into, or exchanged for, the right to receive more than a single type of consideration (determined based in part upon any form of stockholder election), then (i) the Reference Property used to determine the amount of cash into which the Notes will be convertible shall be deemed to be the weighted average of the types and amounts of consideration received by the holders of the Common Stock that affirmatively make such an election, except that, in the case of the Tornier Merger Transaction, the Reference Property will be based on the number of Tornier Ordinary

 

70


Shares equal to the Conversion Rate, subject to adjustment as described in this Article 14 and (ii) the unit of Reference Property for purposes of the immediately preceding paragraph shall refer to the consideration referred to in clause (i) attributable to one share of the Common Stock, except that, in the case of the Tornier Merger Transaction, such unit of Reference Property shall refer to the consideration referred to in clause (i) attributable to one Tornier Ordinary Share. If the holders receive only cash in such Reorganization Event, then for all conversions that occur after the effective date of such Reorganization Event (x) the consideration due upon conversion of each $1,000 principal amount of Notes shall be solely cash in an amount equal to the Conversion Rate in effect on the Conversion Date (as may be increased by any Cash Make-Whole Premium pursuant to Section 14.03), multiplied by the price paid per share of the Common Stock in such Reorganization Event and (y) the Company shall satisfy the Conversion Obligation by paying cash to converting Holders on the third Business Day immediately following the Conversion Date. The Company shall notify Holders, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee) of such weighted average as soon as practicable after such determination is made. For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of the foregoing, the cash and number of Tornier Ordinary Shares that a holder of one share of Common Stock will be entitled to receive in the Tornier Merger Transaction will be determined without giving effect to any rounding down to the nearest Tornier Ordinary Share and excluding any cash paid for fractional Tornier Ordinary Shares as a result of any such rounding.

Such supplemental indenture described in the second immediately preceding paragraph shall provide for anti-dilution and other adjustments that shall be as nearly equivalent as is possible to the adjustments provided for in this Article 14. If, in the case of any Reorganization Event, the Reference Property includes shares of stock, securities or other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof) of a Person other than the successor or purchasing corporation, as the case may be, in such Reorganization Event, then such supplemental indenture shall also be executed by such other Person and shall contain such additional provisions to protect the interests of the Holders of the Notes as the Board of Directors shall reasonably consider necessary by reason of the foregoing, including, to the extent reasonably considered necessary by the Board of Directors, the provisions providing for the purchase rights set forth in Article 15.

(b) When the Company executes a supplemental indenture pursuant to subsection (a) of this Section 14.07, the Company shall promptly file with the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate briefly stating the reasons therefor, the kind or amount of cash, securities or property or asset that will comprise a unit of Reference Property after any such Reorganization Event, any adjustment to be made with respect thereto and that all conditions precedent have been complied with, and shall promptly mail notice thereof to all Holders. The Company shall cause notice of the execution of such supplemental indenture to be mailed to each Holder, at its address appearing on the Note Register provided for in this Indenture, within 20 days after execution thereof. Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect the legality or validity of such supplemental indenture.

(c) The Company shall not become a party to any Reorganization Event unless its terms are consistent with this Section 14.07; provided , however , that for the purposes of this Section 14.07(c) it is agreed and understood that the terms of the Permitted Tornier Merger Transaction are consistent with this Section 14.07. None of the foregoing provisions shall affect the right of a holder of Notes to convert its Notes into cash as set forth in Section 14.01 and Section 14.02 prior to the effective date of such Reorganization Event.

(d) The above provisions of this Section shall similarly apply to successive Reorganization Events.

 

71


Section 14.08. Exchange in Lieu of Conversion .

(a) When a Holder surrenders a Note for conversion, and the relevant Conversion Date occurs prior to the 65th Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding February 15, 2020, the Company may, at its election, direct the Conversion Agent to surrender, on or prior to the second Business Day following the Conversion Date, such Notes to a financial institution designated by the Company for exchange in lieu of conversion. In order to accept any Notes surrendered for conversion, the designated institution must agree to deliver, in exchange for such Notes, the amount of cash that the Company would be obligated to deliver upon conversion of such Notes at the time the Company would otherwise be required to deliver such cash, all in accordance with Section 14.02. By the close of business on the second Business Day following the Conversion Date, the Company shall notify the Holder surrendering Notes for conversion, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent that the Company has directed the designated institution to make an exchange in lieu of conversion and that the designated financial institution has agreed to make such exchange in lieu of conversion.

(b) If the designated financial institution accepts any such Notes, it will deliver the amount of cash due upon conversion of such Notes directly to the Holder of such Notes on the date the Company would have otherwise been required to deliver such cash. Notes exchanged by the designated institution will remain outstanding. If the designated institution agrees to accept any Notes for exchange in lieu of conversion but does not timely deliver the related cash amount, or if such designated institution does not accept the Notes for exchange, the Company will deliver the relevant cash amount to the Holder on the applicable Settlement Date therefor in accordance with Section 14.02 as if the Company had not made an exchange in lieu of conversion election. The Company’s designation of a financial institution to which the Notes may be submitted for exchange does not require the financial institution to accept any Notes. The Company may, but will not be obligated to, enter into a separate agreement with any designated financial institution that would compensate it for any such transaction.

Section 14.09. Responsibility of Trustee . The Trustee and any other Conversion Agent shall not at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any Holder to determine the Conversion Rate (or any adjustment thereto) or whether any facts exist that may require any adjustment (including any increase) of the Conversion Rate, or with respect to the nature or extent or calculation of any such adjustment when made, or with respect to the method employed, or herein or in any supplemental indenture provided to be employed, in making the same. The Trustee and any other Conversion Agent shall not be accountable with respect to the validity or value (or the kind or amount) of any cash that may at any time be paid upon the conversion of any Note; and the Trustee and any other Conversion Agent make no representations with respect thereto. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, neither the Trustee nor any Conversion Agent shall be under any responsibility to determine the correctness of any provisions contained in any supplemental indenture entered into pursuant to Section 14.07

 

72


relating either to the kind or amount of shares of stock or securities or property (including cash) upon which the Conversion Obligation of a Holder’s Notes may be based after any event referred to in such Section 14.07 or to any adjustment to be made with respect thereto, but, subject to the provisions of Section 7.01, may accept (without any independent investigation) as conclusive evidence of the correctness of any such provisions, and shall be protected in relying upon, the Officer’s Certificate (which the Company shall be obligated to file with the Trustee prior to the execution of any such supplemental indenture) with respect thereto. Neither the Trustee nor the Conversion Agent shall be responsible for determining whether any event contemplated by Section 14.01(b) has occurred that makes the Notes eligible for conversion or no longer eligible therefor until the Company has delivered to the Trustee and the Conversion Agent the notices referred to in Section 14.01(b) with respect to the commencement or termination of such conversion rights, on which notices the Trustee and the Conversion Agent may conclusively rely, and the Company agrees to deliver such notices to the Trustee and the Conversion Agent immediately after the occurrence of any such event or at such other times as shall be provided for in Section 14.01(b).

ARTICLE 15

REPURCHASE OF NOTES AT OPTION OF HOLDERS

Section 15.01. [Reserved] .

Section 15.02. Repurchase at Option of Holders Upon a Fundamental Change . (a) If a Fundamental Change occurs at any time, each Holder shall have the right, at such Holder’s option, to require the Company to repurchase for cash all of such Holder’s Notes, or any portion of the principal amount thereof that is equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000, on the date (the “ Fundamental Change Repurchase Date ”) specified by the Company (subject to postponement to comply with applicable law) that is not less than 5 calendar days or more than 35 calendar days following the date of the Fundamental Change Company Notice at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date (the “ Fundamental Change Repurchase Price ”), unless the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date falls after a Regular Record Date but on or prior to the Interest Payment Date to which such Regular Record Date relates, in which case the Company shall instead pay the full amount of accrued and unpaid interest to Holders of record as of such Regular Record Date, and the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price shall be equal to 100% of the principal amount of Notes to be repurchased pursuant to this Article 15.

(b) Repurchases of Notes under this Section 15.02 shall be made, at the option of the Holder thereof, upon:

(i) delivery to the Paying Agent by a Holder of a duly completed notice (the “ Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice ”) in the form set forth in Attachment 2 to the Form of Note attached hereto as Exhibit A, if the Notes are Physical Notes, or in compliance with the Depositary’s procedures for surrendering interests in Global Notes, if the Notes are Global Notes, in each case on or before the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date (subject to postponement to comply with applicable law); and

 

73


(ii) delivery of the Notes, if the Notes are Physical Notes, to the Paying Agent at any time after delivery of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice (together with all necessary endorsements for transfer) at the Corporate Trust Office of the Paying Agent, or book-entry transfer of the Notes, if the Notes are Global Notes, in compliance with the procedures of the Depositary, in each case such delivery being a condition to receipt by the Holder of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price therefor.

The Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice in respect of any Notes to be repurchased shall state:

(iii) in the case of Physical Notes, the certificate numbers of the Notes to be delivered for repurchase;

(iv) the portion of the principal amount of Notes to be repurchased, which must be $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof; and

(v) that the Notes are to be repurchased by the Company pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Notes and this Indenture;

provided , however , that if the Notes are Global Notes, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice must comply with appropriate Depositary procedures.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any Holder delivering to the Paying Agent the Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice contemplated by this Section 15.02 shall have the right to withdraw, in whole or in part, such Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice at any time prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date by delivery of a written notice of withdrawal to the Paying Agent in accordance with Section 15.03.

The Paying Agent shall promptly notify the Company of the receipt by it of any Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice or written notice of withdrawal thereof.

(c) Within the 20 calendar days after the occurrence of the effective date of a Fundamental Change, the Company shall provide to all Holders of Notes and the Trustee and the Paying Agent (in the case of a Paying Agent other than the Trustee) a notice (the “ Fundamental Change Company Notice ”) of the occurrence of the effective date of the Fundamental Change and of the repurchase right at the option of the Holders arising as a result thereof. In the case of Physical Notes, such notice shall be by first class mail or, in the case of Global Notes, such notice shall be delivered in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depositary. Simultaneously with providing such notice, the Company shall publish a notice containing the information set forth in the Fundamental Change Company Notice in a newspaper of general circulation in The City of New York or publish such information on the Company’s website or through such other public medium as the Company may use at that time. Each Fundamental Change Company Notice shall specify:

(ix) the procedures that Holders must follow to require the Company to repurchase their Notes.

No failure of the Company to give the foregoing notices and no defect therein shall limit the Holders’ repurchase rights or affect the validity of the proceedings for the repurchase of the Notes pursuant to this Section 15.02.

At the Company’s written request delivered at least five Business Days before such notice is to be delivered to the Holders (unless a shorter period is acceptable to the Trustee), the Trustee shall give such notice in the Company’s name and at the Company’s expense; provided , however , that, in all cases, the text of such Fundamental Change Company Notice shall be prepared by the Company.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Notes may be repurchased by the Company on any date at the option of the Holders upon a Fundamental Change if the principal amount of the Notes has been accelerated, and such acceleration has not been rescinded, on or prior to such date (except in the case of an acceleration resulting from a Default by the Company in the payment of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price with respect to such Notes). The Paying Agent will promptly return to the respective Holders thereof any Physical Notes held by it during the acceleration of the Notes (except in the case of an acceleration resulting from a Default by the Company in the payment of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price with respect to such Notes), or any instructions for book-entry transfer of the Notes in compliance with the procedures of the Depositary shall be deemed to have been cancelled, and, upon such return or cancellation, as the case may be, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice with respect thereto shall be deemed to have been withdrawn.

Section 15.03. Withdrawal of Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice . (i) A Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice may be withdrawn (in whole or in part) by means of a written notice of withdrawal delivered to the office of the Paying Agent in accordance with this Section 15.03 at any time prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, specifying:

75


(iii) if Physical Notes have been issued, the certificate number of the Note in respect of which such notice of withdrawal is being submitted, and

(iv) the principal amount, if any, of such Note that remains subject to the original Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice, which portion must be in principal amounts of $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000;

provided , however , that if the Notes are Global Notes, the notice must comply with appropriate procedures of the Depositary.

Section 15.04. Deposit of Fundamental Change Repurchase Price . (a) The Company will deposit with the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company, or if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, set aside, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 4.04) on or prior to 12:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date an amount of money sufficient to repurchase all of the Notes to be repurchased at the appropriate Fundamental Change Repurchase Price. Subject to receipt of funds and/or Notes by the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company), payment for Notes surrendered for repurchase (and not withdrawn prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date) will be made on the later of (i) the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date ( provided the Holder has satisfied the conditions in Section 15.02) and (ii) the time of book-entry transfer or the delivery of such Note to the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) by the Holder thereof in the manner required by Section 15.02 by mailing checks for the amount payable to the Holders of such Notes entitled thereto as they shall appear in the Note Register; provided , however , that payments to the Depositary shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of the Depositary or its nominee. The Trustee shall, promptly after such payment and upon written demand by the Company, return to the Company any funds in excess of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price.

(b) If by 12:00 p.m. New York City time, on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) holds money sufficient to make payment on all the Notes or portions thereof that are to be repurchased on such Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, then, with respect to the Notes that have been properly surrendered for repurchase and not validly withdrawn, (i) such Notes will cease to be outstanding, (ii) interest will cease to accrue on such Notes (whether or not book-entry transfer of the Notes has been made or the Notes have been delivered to the Trustee or Paying Agent) and all other rights of the Holders of such Notes will terminate (other than the right to receive the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price).

(c) Upon surrender of a Note that is to be repurchased in part pursuant to Section 15.02, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder a new Note in an authorized denomination equal in principal amount to the unrepurchased portion of the Note surrendered.

[FORM OF REVERSE OF NOTE]

Wright Medical Group, Inc.

2.00% Cash Convertible Senior Note due 2020

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Company, designated as its 2.00% Cash Convertible Senior Notes due 2020 (the “ Notes ”), in an initial aggregate principal amount of $632,500,000, all issued or to be issued under and pursuant to an Indenture dated as of February 13, 2015 (the “ Indenture ”), between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. (the “ Trustee ”), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a description of the rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Trustee, the Company and the Holders of the Notes. Additional Notes may be issued in an unlimited aggregate principal amount, subject to certain conditions specified in the Indenture.

In case certain Events of Default, as defined in the Indenture, shall have occurred and be continuing, the principal of, and interest on, all Notes may be declared, by either the Trustee or Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding, and upon said declaration shall become, due and payable, in the manner, with the effect and subject to the conditions and certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture.

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Indenture, the Company will make all payments in respect of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date and the principal amount on the Maturity Date, as the case may be, to the Holder who surrenders a Note to a Paying Agent to collect such payments in respect of the Note. The Company will pay cash amounts in money of the United States that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts.

The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Company and the Trustee in certain circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of the Notes, and in certain other circumstances, with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding, evidenced as in the Indenture provided, to execute supplemental indentures modifying the terms of the Indenture and the Notes as described therein. It is also provided in the Indenture that, subject to certain exceptions, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes waive any past Default or Event of Default under the Indenture and its consequences.

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal (including the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, if applicable) of, accrued and unpaid interest on, and the cash due upon conversion of, this Note (and, for the avoidance of doubt, any related Additional Amounts, if applicable) at the place, at the respective times, at the rate and in the lawful money herein prescribed as provided in the last paragraph of Section 6.06 of the Indenture.

 

90


In any case where any Interest Payment Date, Fundamental Change Repurchase Date or Maturity Date is not a Business Day, then any action to be taken on such date need not be taken on such date, but may be taken on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if taken on such date, and no interest shall accrue in respect of the delay.

The Notes are issuable in registered form without coupons in denominations of $1,000 principal amount and integral multiples thereof. At the office or agency of the Company referred to on the face hereof, and in the manner and subject to the limitations provided in the Indenture, Notes may be exchanged for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes of other authorized denominations, without payment of any service charge but, if required by the Company or Trustee, with payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or other similar governmental charge required by law or otherwise permitted under the Indenture.

The Notes are not subject to redemption through the operation of any sinking fund or otherwise.

Upon the occurrence of a Fundamental Change, the Holder has the right, at such Holder’s option, to require the Company to repurchase for cash all of such Holder’s Notes or any portion thereof (in principal amounts of $1,000 or integral multiples thereof) on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date at a price equal to the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price.

Subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder hereof has the right, at its option, during certain periods and upon the occurrence of certain conditions specified in the Indenture, prior to the close of business on the second Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the Maturity Date, to convert any Notes or portion thereof that is $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof, solely into cash at the Conversion Rate specified in the Indenture, as adjusted from time to time as provided in the Indenture.

Terms used in this Note and defined in the Indenture are used herein as therein defined.

  (b) Neither the execution and delivery of this Confirmation nor the incurrence or performance of obligations of Counterparty hereunder will conflict with or result in a breach of the certificate of incorporation or by-laws (or any equivalent documents) of Counterparty, or any applicable law or regulation, or any order, writ, injunction or decree of any court or governmental authority or agency, or any agreement or instrument to which Counterparty or any of its subsidiaries is a party or by which Counterparty or any of its subsidiaries is bound or to which Counterparty or any of its subsidiaries is subject, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation of any lien under, any such agreement or instrument.

18


  (e) Transfer or Assignment .

 

  (i) Counterparty shall have the right to transfer or assign its rights and obligations hereunder with respect to all, but not less than all, of the Options hereunder (such Options, the “ Transfer Options ”); provided that such transfer or assignment shall be subject to reasonable conditions that Dealer may impose, including but not limited, to the following conditions:

 

  (A) With respect to any Transfer Options, Counterparty shall not be released from its notice and indemnification obligations pursuant to Section 9(b) or any obligations under Section 9(m) or 9(q) of this Confirmation;

 

  (B) Any Transfer Options shall only be transferred or assigned to a third party that is a United States person (as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code);

 

  (C) Such transfer or assignment shall be effected on terms, including any reasonable undertakings by such third party (including, but not limited to, an undertaking with respect to compliance with applicable securities laws in a manner that, in the reasonable judgment of Dealer, will not expose Dealer to material risks under applicable securities laws) and execution of any documentation and delivery of legal opinions with respect to securities laws and other matters by such third party and Counterparty, as are requested and reasonably satisfactory to Dealer;

 

  (D) Dealer will not, as a result of such transfer and assignment, be required to pay the transferee on any payment date an amount under Section 2(d)(i)(4) of the Agreement greater than an amount that Dealer would have been required to pay to Counterparty in the absence of such transfer and assignment;

 

  (E) An Event of Default, Potential Event of Default or Termination Event will not occur as a result of such transfer and assignment;

 

  (F) Without limiting the generality of clause (B), Counterparty shall cause the transferee to make such Payee Tax Representations and to provide such tax documentation as may be reasonably requested by Dealer to permit Dealer to determine that results described in clauses (D) and (E) will not occur upon or after such transfer and assignment; and

 

  (G) Counterparty shall be responsible for all reasonable costs and expenses, including reasonable counsel fees, incurred by Dealer in connection with such transfer or assignment;

and, for the avoidance of doubt, without limitation of any other provision hereof, the consummation of the Permitted Tornier Merger Transaction (as defined in the Indenture) shall not be deemed to be a transfer or assignment of the Company’s rights and obligations under the Transaction.

 

19


  (ii)

Dealer may, without Counterparty’s consent, transfer or assign all or any part of its rights or obligations under the Transaction (A) to any affiliate of Dealer (1) that has a rating for its long term, unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness that is equal to or better than Dealer’s credit rating at the time of such transfer or assignment, or (2) whose obligations hereunder will be guaranteed, pursuant to the terms of a customary guarantee in a form used by Dealer generally for similar transactions, by Dealer, or (B) to any other third party with a rating for its long term, unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness equal to or better than the lesser of (1) the credit rating of Dealer at the time of the transfer and (2) A- by Standard and Poor’s Rating Group, Inc. or its successor (“ S&P ”), or A3 by Moody’s Investor Service, Inc. (“ Moody’s ”) or, if either S&P or Moody’s ceases to rate such debt, at least an equivalent rating or better by a substitute rating agency mutually agreed by Counterparty and Dealer. If at any time at which (A) the Section 16 Percentage exceeds 7.5%, (B) the Option Equity Percentage exceeds 14.5%, or (C) the Share Amount exceeds the Applicable Share Limit (if any applies) (any such condition described in clauses (A), (B) or (C), an “ Excess Ownership Position ”), Dealer is unable after using its good faith and commercially reasonable efforts to effect a transfer or assignment of Options to a third party on pricing terms reasonably acceptable to Dealer and within a time period reasonably acceptable to Dealer such that no Excess Ownership Position exists, then Dealer may designate any Exchange Business Day as an Early Termination Date with respect to a portion of the Transaction (the “ Terminated Portion ”), such that following such partial termination no Excess Ownership Position exists. In the event that Dealer so designates an Early Termination Date with respect to a portion of the Transaction, a payment shall be made pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement as if (1) an Early Termination Date had been designated in respect of a Transaction having terms identical to the Transaction and a Number of Options equal to the number of Options underlying the Terminated Portion, (2) Counterparty were the sole Affected Party with respect to such partial termination and (3) the Terminated Portion were the sole Affected Transaction (and, for the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of Section 9(k) shall apply to any amount that is payable by Dealer to Counterparty pursuant to this sentence as if Counterparty was not the Affected Party). The “ Section 16 Percentage ” as of any day is the fraction, expressed as a percentage, (A) the numerator of which is the number of Shares that Dealer and each person subject to aggregation of Shares with Dealer under Section 13 or Section 16 of the Exchange Act and rules promulgated thereunder directly or indirectly beneficially own (as defined under Section 13 or Section 16 of the Exchange Act and rules promulgated thereunder) and (B) the denominator of which is the number of Shares outstanding. The “ Option Equity Percentage ” as of any day is

 

20


  the fraction, expressed as a percentage, (A) the numerator of which is the sum of (1) the product of the Number of Options and the Option Entitlement and (2) the aggregate number of Shares underlying any other call option transaction sold by Dealer to Counterparty or Issuer, as applicable, and (B) the denominator of which is the number of Shares outstanding. The “ Share Amount ” as of any day is the number of Shares that Dealer and any person whose ownership position would be aggregated with that of Dealer (Dealer or any such person, a “ Dealer Person ”) under any law, rule, regulation, regulatory order or organizational documents or contracts of Issuer that are, in each case, applicable to ownership of Shares (“ Applicable Restrictions ”), owns, beneficially owns, constructively owns, controls, holds the power to vote or otherwise meets a relevant definition of ownership under any Applicable Restriction, as determined by Dealer in its reasonable discretion. The “ Applicable Share Limit ” means a number of Shares equal to (A) the minimum number of Shares that could give rise to reporting or registration obligations or other requirements (including obtaining prior approval from any person or entity) of a Dealer Person, or could result in an adverse effect on a Dealer Person, under any Applicable Restriction, as determined by Dealer in its reasonable discretion, minus (B) 1% of the number of Shares outstanding.

 

  (iii) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Confirmation to the contrary requiring or allowing Dealer to purchase, sell, receive or deliver any Shares or other securities, or make or receive any payment in cash, to or from Counterparty, Dealer may designate any of its affiliates to purchase, sell, receive or deliver such Shares or other securities, or to make or receive such payment in cash, and otherwise to perform Dealer’s obligations in respect of the Transaction and any such designee may assume such obligations. Dealer shall be discharged of its obligations to Counterparty to the extent of any such performance.

 

  (f) Ratings Decline . If at any time the long term, unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of Dealer is rated Ba1 or lower by Moody’s or BB+ or lower by S&P (any such rating, a “ Ratings Downgrade ”), then Counterparty may, at any time following the occurrence and during the continuation of such Ratings Downgrade, provide written notice to Dealer specifying that it elects for this Section 9(f) to apply (a “ Trigger Notice ”). Upon receipt by Dealer of a Trigger Notice from Counterparty, Dealer shall promptly elect that either (i) the parties shall negotiate in good faith terms for collateral arrangements pursuant to which Dealer is required to provide collateral (including, but not limited to, equity or equity-linked securities issued by Counterparty or Issuer, as applicable) to Counterparty in respect of the Transaction with a value equal to the full mark-to-market exposure of Counterparty under the Transaction, as determined by Dealer in a good faith commercially reasonable manner, or (ii) an Additional Termination Event shall occur and, with respect to such Additional Termination Event, (A) Counterparty shall be deemed to be the sole Affected Party, and (B) the Transaction shall be the sole Affected Transaction.

 

21


  (g) Matters Related to Agent . The Agent is acting as Agent for Dealer. The Agent does not act as agent of Counterparty. For the avoidance of doubt, any performance by Dealer of its obligations hereunder solely to Agent shall not relieve Dealer of such obligations. Agent’s performance to Counterparty of Dealer’s obligations hereunder shall relieve Dealer of such obligations to the extent of such performance. Any performance by Counterparty of its obligations (including notice obligations) through or by means of Agent’s agency for Dealer shall constitute good performance of Counterparty’s obligations hereunder to Dealer.

 

  (h) Additional Termination Events .

 

  (i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Confirmation if an event of default occurs under the terms of the Convertible Notes as set forth in Section 6.01 of the Indenture, then such event of default shall constitute an Additional Termination Event applicable to the Transaction and, with respect to such Additional Termination Event, (A) Counterparty shall be deemed to be the sole Affected Party, (B) the Transaction shall be the sole Affected Transaction and (C) Dealer shall be the party entitled to designate an Early Termination Date pursuant to Section 6(b) of the Agreement.

 

  (i) Amendments to the Equity Definitions .

 

  (i) Section 12.6(a)(ii) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended by (1) deleting from the fourth line thereof the word “or” after the word “official” and inserting a comma therefor, and (2) deleting the semi-colon at the end of subsection (B) thereof and inserting the following words therefor “or (C) at Dealer’s option, the occurrence of any of the events specified in Section 5(a)(vii)(1) through (9) of the ISDA Master Agreement with respect to that Issuer.”

 

  (ii) Section 12.9(b)(i) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended by (1) replacing “either party may elect” with “Dealer may elect” and (2) replacing “notice to the other party” with “notice to Counterparty” in the first sentence of such section.

 

  (j) Setoff . Obligations under the Transaction shall not be set off by either party against any other obligations of the parties, whether arising under the Agreement, this Confirmation, under any other agreement between the parties hereto, by operation of law or otherwise. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event of bankruptcy or liquidation of either Counterparty or Dealer neither party shall have the right to set off any obligation that it may have to the other party under the Transaction against any obligation such other party may have to it, whether arising under the Agreement, this Confirmation or any other agreement between the parties hereto, by operation of law or otherwise.

 

22


  (k) Alternative Calculations and Payment on Early Termination and on Certain Extraordinary Events . If in respect of the Transaction, an amount is payable by Dealer to Counterparty (i) pursuant to Section 12.7 or Section 12.9 of the Equity Definitions or (ii) pursuant to Section 6(d)(ii) of the Agreement (any such amount, a “ Payment Obligation ”), Dealer shall satisfy the Payment Obligation by the Share Termination Alternative (as defined below), unless (a) Counterparty gives irrevocable telephonic notice to Dealer, confirmed in writing within one Scheduled Trading Day, no later than 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Merger Date, the Tender Offer Date, the Announcement Date (in the case of Nationalization, Insolvency or Delisting), the Early Termination Date or date of cancellation, as applicable, of its election that the Share Termination Alternative shall not apply, (b) Counterparty remakes (which representation is confirmed to Dealer in writing by Issuer, if other than Counterparty) the representation set forth in Section 8(f) as of the date of such election and (c) Dealer agrees, in its reasonable discretion, to such election, in which case the provisions of Section 12.7 or Section 12.9 of the Equity Definitions, or the provisions of Section 6(d)(ii) of the Agreement, as the case may be, shall apply.

 

Share Termination Alternative: If applicable, Dealer shall deliver to Counterparty the Share Termination Delivery Property on, or within a commercially reasonable period of time after, the date when the relevant Payment Obligation would otherwise be due pursuant to Section 12.7 or 12.9 of the Equity Definitions or Section 6(d) (ii) and 6(e) of the Agreement, as applicable (the “ Share Termination Payment Date ”), in satisfaction of such Payment Obligation in the manner reasonably requested by Counterparty free of payment.
Share Termination Delivery Property: A number of Share Termination Delivery Units, as calculated by the Calculation Agent, equal to the Payment Obligation divided by the Share Termination Unit Price. The Calculation Agent shall adjust the Share Termination Delivery Property by replacing any fractional portion of a security therein with an amount of cash equal to the value of such fractional security based on the values used to calculate the Share Termination Unit Price.
Share Termination Unit Price: The value to Dealer of property contained in one Share Termination Delivery Unit, as determined by the Calculation Agent in its

 

23


discretion by commercially reasonable means and notified by the Calculation Agent to Dealer at the time of notification of the Payment Obligation. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties agree that in determining the Share Termination Delivery Unit Price the Calculation Agent may consider, if commercially reasonable, the purchase price paid in connection with the purchase of Share Termination Delivery Property.
Share Termination Delivery Unit: One Share or, if the Shares have changed into cash or any other property or the right to receive cash or any other property as the result of a Nationalization, Insolvency or Merger Event (any such cash or other property, the “ Exchange Property ”), a unit consisting of the type and amount of such Exchange Property received by a holder of one Share (without consideration of any requirement to pay cash or other consideration in lieu of fractional amounts of any securities) in such Nationalization, Insolvency or Merger Event, as determined by the Calculation Agent.
Failure to Deliver: Applicable
Other applicable provisions: If Share Termination Alternative is applicable, the provisions of Sections 9.8, 9.9 and 9.11 (as modified above) of the Equity Definitions and the provisions set forth opposite the caption “Representation and Agreement” in Section 2 will be applicable, except that all references in such provisions to “Physically-settled” shall be read as references to “Share Termination Settled” and all references to “Shares” shall be read as references to “Share Termination Delivery Units”. “Share Termination Settled” in relation to the Transaction means that the Share Termination Alternative is applicable to the Transaction.

 

  (l)

Waiver of Jury Trial . Each party waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any right it may have to a trial by jury in respect of any suit,

 

24


  action or proceeding relating to the Transaction. Each party (i) certifies that no representative, agent or attorney of either party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other party would not, in the event of such a suit, action or proceeding, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver and (ii) acknowledges that it and the other party have been induced to enter into the Transaction, as applicable, by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications provided herein.

 

  (m) Registration . Counterparty hereby agrees that if, in the good faith reasonable judgment of Dealer, the Shares (“ Hedge Shares ”) acquired by Dealer for the purpose of hedging its obligations pursuant to the Transaction cannot be sold in the public market by Dealer without registration under the Securities Act, Counterparty shall (or shall cause Issuer to), at its election, either (i) in order to allow Dealer to sell the Hedge Shares in a registered offering, make available to Dealer an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and enter into an agreement, in form and substance satisfactory to Dealer, substantially in the form of an underwriting agreement for a registered secondary offering; provided , however , that if Dealer, in its sole reasonable discretion, is not satisfied with access to due diligence materials, the results of its due diligence investigation, or the procedures and documentation for the registered offering referred to above, then clause (ii) or clause (iii) of this paragraph shall apply at the election of Counterparty, (ii) in order to allow Dealer to sell the Hedge Shares in a private placement, enter into a private placement agreement substantially similar to private placement purchase agreements customary for private placements of equity securities, in form and substance satisfactory to Dealer (in which case, the Calculation Agent shall make any adjustments to the terms of the Transaction that are necessary, in its reasonable judgment, to compensate Dealer for any discount from the public market price of the Shares incurred on the sale of Hedge Shares in a private placement), or (iii) purchase the Hedge Shares from Dealer at the Relevant Price on such Exchange Business Days, and in the amounts, requested by Dealer.

 

  (n) Tax Disclosure . Effective from the date of commencement of discussions concerning the Transaction, Counterparty and each of its employees, representatives, or other agents may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of the Transaction and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to Counterparty relating to such tax treatment and tax structure.

 

  (o)

Right to Extend . Dealer may postpone or add, in whole or in part, any Valid Day or Valid Days during the Settlement Averaging Period or any other date of valuation, payment or delivery by Dealer, with respect to some or all of the Options hereunder, if Dealer reasonably and in good faith determines, based on the advice of counsel in the case of the immediately following clause (ii), that such action is reasonably necessary or appropriate (i) to preserve Dealer’s commercially reasonable hedging or hedge unwind activity hereunder in light of existing liquidity conditions or (ii) to enable Dealer to effect transactions with respect to Shares in connection with its commercially reasonable hedging, hedge

 

25


  unwind or settlement activity hereunder in a manner that would, if Dealer were Issuer or an affiliated purchaser of Issuer, be in compliance with applicable legal, regulatory or self-regulatory requirements, or with related policies and procedures applicable to Dealer.

 

  (p) Securities Contract; Swap Agreement . The parties hereto intend for (i) the Transaction to be a “securities contract” and a “swap agreement” as defined in the Bankruptcy Code (Title 11 of the United States Code) (the “ Bankruptcy Code ”), and the parties hereto to be entitled to the protections afforded by, among other Sections, Sections 362(b)(6), 362(b)(17), 546(e), 546(g), 555 and 560 of the Bankruptcy Code, (ii) a party’s right to liquidate the Transaction and to exercise any other remedies upon the occurrence of any Event of Default under the Agreement with respect to the other party to constitute a “contractual right” as described in the Bankruptcy Code, and (iii) each payment and delivery of cash, securities or other property hereunder to constitute a “margin payment” or “settlement payment” and a “transfer” as defined in the Bankruptcy Code.

 

  (q) Notice of Certain Other Events . Counterparty covenants and agrees that:

 

  (i) promptly following the public announcement of the results of any election by the holders of Shares with respect to the consideration due upon consummation of any Merger Event, Counterparty shall give Dealer written notice of the types and amounts of consideration that holders of Shares have elected to receive upon consummation of such Merger Event (the date of such notification, the “ Consideration Notification Date ”); provided that in no event shall the Consideration Notification Date be later than the date on which such Merger Event is consummated;

 

  (ii) promptly following any adjustment to the Convertible Notes in connection with any Potential Adjustment Event, Merger Event or Tender Offer, Counterparty shall give Dealer written notice of the details of such adjustment; and

 

  (iii) promptly following the public announcement of any change to the pending merger transaction between Counterparty and Tornier N.V. (including, without limitation, any termination, amendment or modification of the related merger agreement, any change to the consideration for the Shares and/or the withdrawal, or abandonment or discontinuation of, such transaction).

 

  (r)

Wall Street Transparency and Accountability Act . In connection with Section 739 of the Wall Street Transparency and Accountability Act of 2010 (“ WSTAA ”), the parties hereby agree that neither the enactment of WSTAA or any regulation under the WSTAA, nor any requirement under WSTAA or an amendment made by WSTAA, shall limit or otherwise impair either party’s otherwise applicable rights to terminate, renegotiate, modify, amend or supplement this Confirmation or the Agreement, as applicable, arising from a termination event, force majeure,

 

26


  illegality, increased costs, regulatory change or similar event under this Confirmation, the Equity Definitions incorporated herein, or the Agreement (including, but not limited to, rights arising from Change in Law, Hedging Disruption, Increased Cost of Hedging, an Excess Ownership Position, or Illegality (as defined in the Agreement)).

 

  (s) Agreements and Acknowledgements Regarding Hedging . Counterparty understands, acknowledges and agrees that: (A) at any time on and prior to the Expiration Date, Dealer and its affiliates may buy or sell Shares or other securities or buy or sell options or futures contracts or enter into swaps or other derivative securities in order to adjust its hedge position with respect to the Transaction; (B) Dealer and its affiliates also may be active in the market for Shares other than in connection with hedging activities in relation to the Transaction; (C) Dealer shall make its own determination as to whether, when or in what manner any hedging or market activities in securities of Issuer shall be conducted and shall do so in a manner that it deems appropriate to hedge its price and market risk with respect to the Relevant Prices; and (D) any market activities of Dealer and its affiliates with respect to Shares may affect the market price and volatility of Shares, as well as the Relevant Prices, each in a manner that may be adverse to Counterparty.

 

  (t) Early Unwind . In the event the sale of the “Underwritten Securities” (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) is not consummated with the Initial Purchasers for any reason by 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Premium Payment Date, or such later date as agreed upon by the parties (the Premium Payment Date or such later date, the “ Early Unwind Date ”), the Transaction shall automatically terminate (the “ Early Unwind ”) on the Early Unwind Date and (i) the Transaction and all of the respective rights and obligations of Dealer and Counterparty under the Transaction shall be cancelled and terminated and (ii) each party shall be released and discharged by the other party from and agrees not to make any claim against the other party with respect to any obligations or liabilities of the other party arising out of and to be performed as Hedging Positions in respect of this Transaction either prior to or after the Early Unwind Date. Each of Dealer and Counterparty represents and acknowledges to the other that, subject to the proviso included in this Section 9(t), upon an Early Unwind, all obligations with respect to the Transaction shall be deemed fully and finally discharged.

 

  (u) Designation of Dealer . Notwithstanding any other provision in this Confirmation to the contrary requiring or allowing Dealer to purchase, sell, receive or deliver any Shares or other securities to or from Issuer, Dealer may designate any of its affiliates to purchase, sell, receive or deliver such Shares or other securities and otherwise to perform Dealer obligations in respect of the Transaction and any such designee may assume such obligations. Dealer shall be discharged of its obligations to Counterparty to the extent of any such performance.

 

27


  (v) Non-US Merger Transactions. Issuer shall not enter into or consummate any Non-US Merger Transaction (other than the Permitted Tornier Merger Transaction) unless the successor Issuer immediately following such Non-US Merger Transaction repeats to Dealer immediately following such Non-US Merger Transaction the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 8(a), 8(b), 8(c) and 8(d) of this Confirmation (as if references therein to (i) “execute, deliver” were replaced with “assume”, (ii) “execution, delivery” and “execution and delivery” were replaced with “assumption” and (iii) “executed and delivered” were replaced with “assumed”).

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Confirmation if (a) at or prior to the Tornier Merger Transaction, (1) Issuer enters into or consummates any Non-US Merger Transaction pursuant to which Issuer following such Non-US Merger Transaction is not a corporation organized under the laws of the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia (or, solely in the case of the Tornier Merger Transaction, not a Dutch public limited company or an entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes organized and existing under the laws of the Netherlands), or (2) Counterparty ceases to be a corporation organized under the laws of the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia that is Issuer or a wholly-owned subsidiary of Issuer, or (3) Issuer enters into or consummates any Non-US Merger Transaction and does not comply with the requirements of the immediately previous paragraph of this Section 9(v), or (b) after the Tornier Merger Transaction, (1) Issuer enters into or consummates any Non-US Merger Transaction pursuant to which Issuer following such Non-US Merger Transaction is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than the Islands of Bermuda, the Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland, Luxembourg, the Republic of Ireland, Canada or the United Kingdom, (2) Counterparty ceases to be a corporation organized under the laws of the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia that is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Issuer, or (3) Issuer enters into or consummates any Non-US Merger Transaction and does not comply with the requirements of the immediately previous paragraph of this Section 9(v), then, in any such case of clauses (a) and (b), such transaction or event shall constitute an Additional Termination Event applicable to the Transaction and, with respect to such Additional Termination Event, (A) Counterparty shall be deemed to be the sole Affected Party, (B) the Transaction shall be the sole Affected Transaction and (C) Dealer shall be the party entitled to designate an Early Termination Date pursuant to Section 6(b) of the Agreement.

If, at any time following the occurrence of any Non-US Merger Transaction (other than the Permitted Tornier Merger Transaction), Dealer determines in good faith that (x) such Non-US Merger Transaction has had an adverse effect on Dealer’s rights and obligations under the Transaction or (y) Dealer would incur an increased amount of tax, duty, expense or fee to (1) acquire, establish, re-establish, substitute, maintain, unwind or dispose of any transaction(s) or asset(s) it deems necessary to hedge the economic risk of entering into and performing its obligations with respect to the Transaction, or (2) realize, recover or remit the proceeds of any such transaction(s) or asset(s) (each of the events described in

 

28


clause (x) and clause (y) above, a “ Non-US Merger Event ”), then, in either case, Dealer shall give notice to Counterparty of such Non-US Merger Event. Concurrently with delivering such notice, Dealer shall give notice to Counterparty of a Price Adjustment that Dealer reasonably and in good faith determines appropriate to account for the economic effect on the Transaction of such Non-US Merger Event (unless Dealer determines that no Price Adjustment will produce a commercially reasonably result, in which case Dealer shall so notify Counterparty). Unless Dealer determines in good faith that no Price Adjustment will produce a commercially reasonably result, within one Scheduled Trading Day of receipt of such notice, Counterparty shall notify Dealer that it elects to (A) agree to amend the Transaction to take into account such Price Adjustment or (B) pay Dealer the amount determined by Dealer that corresponds to such Price Adjustment (and, in each case, Counterparty shall repeat the representation set forth in Section 8(f) of this Confirmation (which representation is confirmed to Dealer in writing by Issuer, if other than Counterparty) as of the date of such election). If Counterparty fails to give such notice to Dealer of its election in accordance with the foregoing by the end of that first Scheduled Trading Day, or if Dealer determines that no Price Adjustment will produce a commercially reasonably result, then such failure or such determination, as the case may be, shall constitute an Additional Termination Event applicable to the Transaction (it being understood that in the case of a Non-US Merger Event solely pursuant to clause (x) of the definition thereof, such determination shall constitute an Additional Termination Event only if the relevant adverse effect may have a material impact on Dealer’s rights and obligations under the Transaction, as determined by Dealer in good faith) and, with respect to such Additional Termination Event, (1) Counterparty shall be deemed to be the sole Affected Party, (2) the Transaction shall be the sole Affected Transaction and (3) Dealer shall be the party entitled to designate an Early Termination Date pursuant to Section 6(b) of the Agreement.

For the avoidance of doubt, the parties hereto agree and acknowledge that (I) the occurrence of an Non-US Merger Event shall not preclude the occurrence of one or more additional, subsequent Non-US Merger Events and (II) if a Non-US Merger Event occurs, Dealer will determine, in its sole discretion, whether to exercise its rights under the provisions of this Section 9(v) and/or the rights and remedies of Dealer and its affiliates under any other provision of this Confirmation, the Equity Definitions and the Agreement.

 

  (w) Tax Forms . Counterparty shall provide to Dealer a valid U.S. Internal Revenue Service (“ IRS ”) Form W-9 on or before the date of execution of this Confirmation and will promptly tender an updated IRS Form W-9 or applicable IRS Form W-8 if the previously tendered IRS Form W-9 becomes incorrect as a result of a change in facts. Dealer shall provide Counterparty a valid IRS Form W-9 or applicable IRS Form W-8 on or before the date of execution of this Confirmation and will promptly tender an updated IRS Form W-9 or applicable IRS Form W-8 if the previously tendered IRS Form W-9 or applicable IRS Form W-8 becomes incorrect as a result of a change in facts.

 

29


  (x) Certain Withholding Taxes . “Indemnifiable Tax” as defined in Section 14 of the Agreement shall not include any (i) tax imposed on payments treated as dividends from sources within the United States under Section 871(m) of the Code or any regulations or official guidance issued thereunder (an “871(m) Withholding Tax”) or (ii) tax imposed or collected pursuant to Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code, any current or future regulations or official interpretations thereof, any agreement entered into pursuant to Section 1471(b) of the Code, or any fiscal or regulatory legislation, rules or practices adopted pursuant to any intergovernmental agreement entered into in connection with the implementation of such Sections of the Code (a “FATCA Withholding Tax”). For the avoidance of doubt, an 871(m) Withholding Tax or a FATCA Withholding Tax is a Tax the deduction or withholding of which is required by applicable law for the purposes of Section 2(d) of the Agreement.

 

  (y) Method of Delivery . Whenever delivery of funds or other assets is required hereunder by or to Counterparty, such delivery shall be effected through DBSI. In addition, all notices, demands and communications of any kind relating to the Transaction between Deutsche and Counterparty shall be transmitted exclusively through DBSI.

 

  (z) 2013 EMIR Portfolio Reconciliation, Dispute Resolution and Disclosure Protocol .

 

  (i) The parties agree that the terms of the 2013 EMIR Portfolio Reconciliation, Dispute Resolution and Disclosure Protocol published by ISDA on July 19, 2013 (“Protocol”) apply to the Agreement as if the parties had adhered to the Protocol without amendment. In respect of the Attachment to the Protocol, (i) the definition of “Adherence Letter” shall be deemed to be deleted and references to “Adherence Letter” shall be deemed to be to this Section i (and references to “such party’s Adherence Letter” and “its Adherence Letter” shall be read accordingly), (ii) references to “adheres to the Protocol” shall be deemed to be “enters into this Agreement”, (iii) references to “Protocol Covered Agreement” shall be deemed to be references to this Agreement (and each “Protocol Covered Agreement” shall be read accordingly), and (iv) references to “Implementation Date” shall be deemed to be references to the date of this Agreement.

  (A) The parties agree that the provisions set out in the Attachment to the ISDA 2013 EMIR NFC Representation Protocol published by ISDA on March 8, 2013 (the “ NFC Representation Protocol ”) shall apply to the Agreement as if each party were an Adhering Party under the terms of the NFC Representation Protocol. In respect of the Attachment to the Protocol, (i) the definition of “Adherence Letter” shall be deemed to be deleted and references to “Adherence Letter” shall be deemed to be to this Section 2 (and references to “the relevant Adherence Letter” and “its Adherence Letter” shall be read accordingly), (ii) references to “adheres to the Protocol” shall be deemed to be “enters into this Agreement”, (iii) references to “Covered Master Agreement” shall be deemed to be references to this Agreement (and each “Covered Master Agreement” shall be read accordingly), and (iv) references to “Implementation Date” shall be deemed to be references to the date of this Agreement.

 

  (B) Company confirms that it enters into this Agreement as a party making the NFC Representation (as such term is defined in the NFC Representation Protocol). Company shall promptly notify Dealer of any change to its status as a party making the NFC Representation.

 

31

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in the Agreement or any non-disclosure, confidentiality or other agreements entered into between the parties from time to time, each party hereby consents to the Disclosure of information (the “Reporting Consent”):

 

  (A) to the extent required by, or necessary in order to comply with, any applicable law, rule or regulation which mandates Disclosure of transaction and similar information or to the extent required by, or necessary in order to comply with, any order, request or directive regarding Disclosure of transaction and similar information issued by any relevant authority or body or agency (“ Reporting Requirements ”); or

  (h) Counterparty (A) is capable of evaluating investment risks independently, both in general and with regard to all transactions and investment strategies involving a security or securities; (B) will exercise independent judgment in evaluating the recommendations of any broker-dealer or its associated persons, unless it has otherwise notified the broker-dealer in writing; and (C) has total assets of at least $50 million.

 

9. Other Provisions .

 

  (a) Opinions . In connection with the entry into or consummation of any Non-US Merger Transaction (as defined below) (other than the Permitted Tornier Merger Transaction), Counterparty shall deliver to Dealer an opinion of counsel (subject to customary qualifications, assumptions and exceptions), dated as of the date of such Non-US Merger Transaction, with respect to the matters set forth in Sections 8(a), 8(b) and 8(c) of this Confirmation (as if references therein to (i) “execute, deliver” were replaced with “assume”, (ii) “execution, delivery” and “execution and delivery” were replaced with “assumption” and (iii) “executed and delivered” were replaced with “assumed”). “ Non-US Merger Transaction ” means any Merger Event, reincorporation of Issuer, corporate inversion of Issuer or similar transaction pursuant to which (x) the consideration for the Shares includes (or, at the option of a holder of Shares, may include) shares of an entity or person that is not a corporation or is not organized under the laws of the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia or (y) the Issuer following such Merger Event, reincorporation of Issuer or corporate inversion of Issuer is organized in a jurisdiction other than the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia.

 

  (b)

Repurchase Notices . Counterparty shall, on any day on which Issuer effects any repurchase of Shares, promptly give Dealer a written notice of such repurchase (a “ Repurchase Notice ”) on such day if following such repurchase, the number of outstanding Shares as determined on such day is (i) less than 49,827,871 (in the case of the first such notice) or (ii) thereafter more than 1,183,002 less than the number of Shares included in the immediately preceding Repurchase Notice. Counterparty agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Dealer and its affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, affiliates, advisors, agents and

 

17


  controlling persons (each, an “ Indemnified Person ”) from and against any and all losses (including losses relating to Dealer’s hedging activities as a consequence of becoming, or of the risk of becoming, a Section 16 “insider”, including without limitation, any forbearance from hedging activities or cessation of hedging activities and any losses in connection therewith with respect to the Transaction), claims, damages, judgments, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees), joint or several, which an Indemnified Person may become subject to, as a result of Counterparty’s failure to provide Dealer with a Repurchase Notice on the day and in the manner specified in this paragraph, and to reimburse, within 30 days, upon written request, each of such Indemnified Persons for any reasonable legal or other expenses incurred in connection with investigating, preparing for, providing testimony or other evidence in connection with or defending any of the foregoing. If any suit, action, proceeding (including any governmental or regulatory investigation), claim or demand shall be brought or asserted against the Indemnified Person as a result of Counterparty’s failure to provide Dealer with a Repurchase Notice in accordance with this paragraph, such Indemnified Person shall promptly notify Counterparty in writing, and Counterparty, upon request of the Indemnified Person, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person to represent the Indemnified Person and any others Counterparty may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel related to such proceeding. Counterparty shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding contemplated by this paragraph that is effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, Counterparty agrees to indemnify any Indemnified Person from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Counterparty shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Person, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding contemplated by this paragraph that is in respect of which any Indemnified Person is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding on terms reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person. If the indemnification provided for in this paragraph is unavailable to an Indemnified Person or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then Counterparty hereunder, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Person thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Person as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities. The remedies provided for in this paragraph (b) are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any Indemnified Person at law or in equity. The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this paragraph shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the termination of the Transaction.

 

  (c)

Regulation M . Counterparty is not on the Trade Date engaged in a distribution, as such term is used in Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “ Exchange Act ”), of any securities of Counterparty, other than a

 

18


  distribution meeting the requirements of the exception set forth in Rules 101(b)(10) and 102(b)(7) of Regulation M. Counterparty shall not, until the second Scheduled Trading Day immediately following the Effective Date, engage in any such distribution.

 

  (d) No Manipulation . Counterparty is not entering into the Transaction to create actual or apparent trading activity in the Shares (or any security convertible into or exchangeable for the Shares) or to raise or depress or otherwise manipulate the price of the Shares (or any security convertible into or exchangeable for the Shares) or otherwise in violation of the Exchange Act.

 

  (e) Transfer or Assignment .

 

  (i) Counterparty shall have the right to transfer or assign its rights and obligations hereunder with respect to all, but not less than all, of the Options hereunder (such Options, the “ Transfer Options ”); provided that such transfer or assignment shall be subject to reasonable conditions that Dealer may impose, including but not limited, to the following conditions:

 

  (A) With respect to any Transfer Options, Counterparty shall not be released from its notice and indemnification obligations pursuant to Section 9(b) or any obligations under Section 9(m) or 9(q) of this Confirmation;

 

  (B) Any Transfer Options shall only be transferred or assigned to a third party that is a United States person (as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code);

 

  (C) Such transfer or assignment shall be effected on terms, including any reasonable undertakings by such third party (including, but not limited to, an undertaking with respect to compliance with applicable securities laws in a manner that, in the reasonable judgment of Dealer, will not expose Dealer to material risks under applicable securities laws) and execution of any documentation and delivery of legal opinions with respect to securities laws and other matters by such third party and Counterparty, as are requested and reasonably satisfactory to Dealer;

 

  (D) Dealer will not, as a result of such transfer and assignment, be required to pay the transferee on any payment date an amount under Section 2(d)(i)(4) of the Agreement greater than an amount that Dealer would have been required to pay to Counterparty in the absence of such transfer and assignment;

 

  (E) An Event of Default, Potential Event of Default or Termination Event will not occur as a result of such transfer and assignment;

 

19


  (F) Without limiting the generality of clause (B), Counterparty shall cause the transferee to make such Payee Tax Representations and to provide such tax documentation as may be reasonably requested by Dealer to permit Dealer to determine that results described in clauses (D) and (E) will not occur upon or after such transfer and assignment; and

 

  (G) Counterparty shall be responsible for all reasonable costs and expenses, including reasonable counsel fees, incurred by Dealer in connection with such transfer or assignment;

and, for the avoidance of doubt, without limitation of any other provision hereof, the consummation of the Permitted Tornier Merger Transaction (as defined in the Indenture) shall not be deemed to be a transfer or assignment of the Company’s rights and obligations under the Transaction.

 

  (ii)

Dealer may, without Counterparty’s consent, transfer or assign all or any part of its rights or obligations under the Transaction (A) to any affiliate of Dealer (1) that has a rating for its long term, unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness that is equal to or better than Dealer’s credit rating at the time of such transfer or assignment, or (2) whose obligations hereunder will be guaranteed, pursuant to the terms of a customary guarantee in a form used by Dealer generally for similar transactions, by Dealer, or (B) to any other third party with a rating for its long term, unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness equal to or better than the lesser of (1) the credit rating of Dealer at the time of the transfer and (2) A- by Standard and Poor’s Rating Group, Inc. or its successor (“ S&P ”), or A3 by Moody’s Investor Service, Inc. (“ Moody’s ”) or, if either S&P or Moody’s ceases to rate such debt, at least an equivalent rating or better by a substitute rating agency mutually agreed by Counterparty and Dealer. If at any time at which (A) the Section 16 Percentage exceeds 7.5%, (B) the Option Equity Percentage exceeds 14.5%, or (C) the Share Amount exceeds the Applicable Share Limit (if any applies) (any such condition described in clauses (A), (B) or (C), an “ Excess Ownership Position ”), Dealer is unable after using its good faith and commercially reasonable efforts to effect a transfer or assignment of Options to a third party on pricing terms reasonably acceptable to Dealer and within a time period reasonably acceptable to Dealer such that no Excess Ownership Position exists, then Dealer may designate any Exchange Business Day as an Early Termination Date with respect to a portion of the Transaction (the “ Terminated Portion ”), such that following such partial termination no Excess Ownership Position exists. In the event that Dealer so designates an Early Termination Date with respect to a portion of the Transaction, a payment shall be made pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement as if (1) an Early Termination Date had been designated in respect of a Transaction having terms identical to the Transaction and a Number of Options equal

 

20


  to the number of Options underlying the Terminated Portion, (2) Counterparty were the sole Affected Party with respect to such partial termination and (3) the Terminated Portion were the sole Affected Transaction (and, for the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of Section 9(k) shall apply to any amount that is payable by Dealer to Counterparty pursuant to this sentence as if Counterparty was not the Affected Party). The “ Section 16 Percentage ” as of any day is the fraction, expressed as a percentage, (A) the numerator of which is the number of Shares that Dealer and each person subject to aggregation of Shares with Dealer under Section 13 or Section 16 of the Exchange Act and rules promulgated thereunder directly or indirectly beneficially own (as defined under Section 13 or Section 16 of the Exchange Act and rules promulgated thereunder) and (B) the denominator of which is the number of Shares outstanding. The “ Option Equity Percentage ” as of any day is the fraction, expressed as a percentage, (A) the numerator of which is the sum of (1) the product of the Number of Options and the Option Entitlement and (2) the aggregate number of Shares underlying any other call option transaction sold by Dealer to Counterparty or Issuer, as applicable, and (B) the denominator of which is the number of Shares outstanding. The “ Share Amount ” as of any day is the number of Shares that Dealer and any person whose ownership position would be aggregated with that of Dealer (Dealer or any such person, a “ Dealer Person ”) under any law, rule, regulation, regulatory order or organizational documents or contracts of Issuer that are, in each case, applicable to ownership of Shares (“ Applicable Restrictions ”), owns, beneficially owns, constructively owns, controls, holds the power to vote or otherwise meets a relevant definition of ownership under any Applicable Restriction, as determined by Dealer in its reasonable discretion. The “ Applicable Share Limit ” means a number of Shares equal to (A) the minimum number of Shares that could give rise to reporting or registration obligations or other requirements (including obtaining prior approval from any person or entity) of a Dealer Person, or could result in an adverse effect on a Dealer Person, under any Applicable Restriction, as determined by Dealer in its reasonable discretion, minus (B) 1% of the number of Shares outstanding.

 

  (iii) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Confirmation to the contrary requiring or allowing Dealer to purchase, sell, receive or deliver any Shares or other securities, or make or receive any payment in cash, to or from Counterparty, Dealer may designate any of its affiliates to purchase, sell, receive or deliver such Shares or other securities, or to make or receive such payment in cash, and otherwise to perform Dealer’s obligations in respect of the Transaction and any such designee may assume such obligations. Dealer shall be discharged of its obligations to Counterparty to the extent of any such performance.

 

  (f)

Ratings Decline . If at any time the long term, unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of Dealer is rated Ba1 or lower by Moody’s or BB+ or lower by

 

21


  S&P (any such rating, a “ Ratings Downgrade ”), then Counterparty may, at any time following the occurrence and during the continuation of such Ratings Downgrade, provide written notice to Dealer specifying that it elects for this Section 9(f) to apply (a “ Trigger Notice ”). Upon receipt by Dealer of a Trigger Notice from Counterparty, Dealer shall promptly elect that either (i) the parties shall negotiate in good faith terms for collateral arrangements pursuant to which Dealer is required to provide collateral (including, but not limited to, equity or equity-linked securities issued by Counterparty or Issuer, as applicable) to Counterparty in respect of the Transaction with a value equal to the full mark-to-market exposure of Counterparty under the Transaction, as determined by Dealer in a good faith commercially reasonable manner, or (ii) an Additional Termination Event shall occur and, with respect to such Additional Termination Event, (A) Counterparty shall be deemed to be the sole Affected Party, and (B) the Transaction shall be the sole Affected Transaction.

 

  (g) Matters Related to Agent . The Agent is acting as Agent for Dealer. The Agent does not act as agent of Counterparty. For the avoidance of doubt, any performance by Dealer of its obligations hereunder solely to Agent shall not relieve Dealer of such obligations. Agent’s performance to Counterparty of Dealer’s obligations hereunder shall relieve Dealer of such obligations to the extent of such performance. Any performance by Counterparty of its obligations (including notice obligations) through or by means of Agent’s agency for Dealer shall constitute good performance of Counterparty’s obligations hereunder to Dealer.

 

  (h) Additional Termination Events .

 

  (i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Confirmation if an event of default occurs under the terms of the Convertible Notes as set forth in Section 6.01 of the Indenture, then such event of default shall constitute an Additional Termination Event applicable to the Transaction and, with respect to such Additional Termination Event, (A) Counterparty shall be deemed to be the sole Affected Party, (B) the Transaction shall be the sole Affected Transaction and (C) Dealer shall be the party entitled to designate an Early Termination Date pursuant to Section 6(b) of the Agreement.

 

  (i) Amendments to the Equity Definitions .

 

  (i) Section 12.6(a)(ii) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended by (1) deleting from the fourth line thereof the word “or” after the word “official” and inserting a comma therefor, and (2) deleting the semi-colon at the end of subsection (B) thereof and inserting the following words therefor “or (C) at Dealer’s option, the occurrence of any of the events specified in Section 5(a)(vii)(1) through (9) of the ISDA Master Agreement with respect to that Issuer.”

 

  (ii) Section 12.9(b)(i) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended by (1) replacing “either party may elect” with “Dealer may elect” and (2) replacing “notice to the other party” with “notice to Counterparty” in the first sentence of such section.

 

22


  (j) Setoff . Obligations under the Transaction shall not be set off by either party against any other obligations of the parties, whether arising under the Agreement, this Confirmation, under any other agreement between the parties hereto, by operation of law or otherwise. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event of bankruptcy or liquidation of either Counterparty or Dealer neither party shall have the right to set off any obligation that it may have to the other party under the Transaction against any obligation such other party may have to it, whether arising under the Agreement, this Confirmation or any other agreement between the parties hereto, by operation of law or otherwise.

 

  (k) Alternative Calculations and Payment on Early Termination and on Certain Extraordinary Events . If in respect of the Transaction, an amount is payable by Dealer to Counterparty (i) pursuant to Section 12.7 or Section 12.9 of the Equity Definitions or (ii) pursuant to Section 6(d)(ii) of the Agreement (any such amount, a “ Payment Obligation ”), Dealer shall satisfy the Payment Obligation by the Share Termination Alternative (as defined below), unless (a) Counterparty gives irrevocable telephonic notice to Dealer, confirmed in writing within one Scheduled Trading Day, no later than 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Merger Date, the Tender Offer Date, the Announcement Date (in the case of Nationalization, Insolvency or Delisting), the Early Termination Date or date of cancellation, as applicable, of its election that the Share Termination Alternative shall not apply, (b) Counterparty remakes (which representation is confirmed to Dealer in writing by Issuer, if other than Counterparty) the representation set forth in Section 8(f) as of the date of such election and (c) Dealer agrees, in its reasonable discretion, to such election, in which case the provisions of Section 12.7 or Section 12.9 of the Equity Definitions, or the provisions of Section 6(d)(ii) of the Agreement, as the case may be, shall apply.

 

Share Termination Alternative:

If applicable, Dealer shall deliver to Counterparty the Share Termination Delivery Property on, or within a commercially reasonable period of time after, the date when the relevant Payment Obligation would otherwise be due pursuant to Section 12.7 or 12.9 of the Equity Definitions or Section 6(d) (ii) and 6(e) of the Agreement, as applicable (the “ Share Termination Payment Date ”), in satisfaction of such Payment Obligation in the manner reasonably requested by Counterparty free of payment.

 

23


Share Termination Delivery Property:

A number of Share Termination Delivery Units, as calculated by the Calculation Agent, equal to the Payment Obligation divided by the Share Termination Unit Price. The Calculation Agent shall adjust the Share Termination Delivery Property by replacing any fractional portion of a security therein with an amount of cash equal to the value of such fractional security based on the values used to calculate the Share Termination Unit Price.

Share Termination Unit Price:

The value to Dealer of property contained in one Share Termination Delivery Unit, as determined by the Calculation Agent in its discretion by commercially reasonable means and notified by the Calculation Agent to Dealer at the time of notification of the Payment Obligation. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties agree that in determining the Share Termination Delivery Unit Price the Calculation Agent may consider, if commercially reasonable, the purchase price paid in connection with the purchase of Share Termination Delivery Property.

Share Termination Delivery Unit:

One Share or, if the Shares have changed into cash or any other property or the right to receive cash or any other property as the result of a Nationalization, Insolvency or Merger Event (any such cash or other property, the “ Exchange Property ”), a unit consisting of the type and amount of such Exchange Property received by a holder of one Share (without consideration of any requirement to pay cash or other consideration in lieu of fractional amounts of any securities) in such Nationalization, Insolvency or Merger Event, as determined by the Calculation Agent.

Failure to Deliver:

Applicable

Other applicable provisions:

If Share Termination Alternative is applicable, the provisions of Sections 9.8, 9.9 and 9.11 (as modified above) of the

 

24


   Equity Definitions and the provisions set forth opposite the caption “Representation and Agreement” in Section 2 will be applicable, except that all references in such provisions to “Physically-settled” shall be read as references to “Share Termination Settled” and all references to “Shares” shall be read as references to “Share Termination Delivery Units”. “Share Termination Settled” in relation to the Transaction means that the Share Termination Alternative is applicable to the Transaction.

 

  (l) Waiver of Jury Trial . Each party waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any right it may have to a trial by jury in respect of any suit, action or proceeding relating to the Transaction. Each party (i) certifies that no representative, agent or attorney of either party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other party would not, in the event of such a suit, action or proceeding, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver and (ii) acknowledges that it and the other party have been induced to enter into the Transaction, as applicable, by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications provided herein.

 

  (m) Registration . Counterparty hereby agrees that if, in the good faith reasonable judgment of Dealer, the Shares (“ Hedge Shares ”) acquired by Dealer for the purpose of hedging its obligations pursuant to the Transaction cannot be sold in the public market by Dealer without registration under the Securities Act, Counterparty shall (or shall cause Issuer to), at its election, either (i) in order to allow Dealer to sell the Hedge Shares in a registered offering, make available to Dealer an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and enter into an agreement, in form and substance satisfactory to Dealer, substantially in the form of an underwriting agreement for a registered secondary offering; provided , however , that if Dealer, in its sole reasonable discretion, is not satisfied with access to due diligence materials, the results of its due diligence investigation, or the procedures and documentation for the registered offering referred to above, then clause (ii) or clause (iii) of this paragraph shall apply at the election of Counterparty, (ii) in order to allow Dealer to sell the Hedge Shares in a private placement, enter into a private placement agreement substantially similar to private placement purchase agreements customary for private placements of equity securities, in form and substance satisfactory to Dealer (in which case, the Calculation Agent shall make any adjustments to the terms of the Transaction that are necessary, in its reasonable judgment, to compensate Dealer for any discount from the public market price of the Shares incurred on the sale of Hedge Shares in a private placement), or (iii) purchase the Hedge Shares from Dealer at the Relevant Price on such Exchange Business Days, and in the amounts, requested by Dealer.

 

25


  (n) Tax Disclosure . Effective from the date of commencement of discussions concerning the Transaction, Counterparty and each of its employees, representatives, or other agents may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of the Transaction and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to Counterparty relating to such tax treatment and tax structure.

 

  (o) Right to Extend . Dealer may postpone or add, in whole or in part, any Valid Day or Valid Days during the Settlement Averaging Period or any other date of valuation, payment or delivery by Dealer, with respect to some or all of the Options hereunder, if Dealer reasonably and in good faith determines, based on the advice of counsel in the case of the immediately following clause (ii), that such action is reasonably necessary or appropriate (i) to preserve Dealer’s commercially reasonable hedging or hedge unwind activity hereunder in light of existing liquidity conditions or (ii) to enable Dealer to effect transactions with respect to Shares in connection with its commercially reasonable hedging, hedge unwind or settlement activity hereunder in a manner that would, if Dealer were Issuer or an affiliated purchaser of Issuer, be in compliance with applicable legal, regulatory or self-regulatory requirements, or with related policies and procedures applicable to Dealer.

 

  (p) Securities Contract; Swap Agreement . The parties hereto intend for (i) the Transaction to be a “securities contract” and a “swap agreement” as defined in the Bankruptcy Code (Title 11 of the United States Code) (the “ Bankruptcy Code ”), and the parties hereto to be entitled to the protections afforded by, among other Sections, Sections 362(b)(6), 362(b)(17), 546(e), 546(g), 555 and 560 of the Bankruptcy Code, (ii) a party’s right to liquidate the Transaction and to exercise any other remedies upon the occurrence of any Event of Default under the Agreement with respect to the other party to constitute a “contractual right” as described in the Bankruptcy Code, and (iii) each payment and delivery of cash, securities or other property hereunder to constitute a “margin payment” or “settlement payment” and a “transfer” as defined in the Bankruptcy Code.

 

  (q) Notice of Certain Other Events . Counterparty covenants and agrees that:

 

  (i) promptly following the public announcement of the results of any election by the holders of Shares with respect to the consideration due upon consummation of any Merger Event, Counterparty shall give Dealer written notice of the types and amounts of consideration that holders of Shares have elected to receive upon consummation of such Merger Event (the date of such notification, the “ Consideration Notification Date ”); provided that in no event shall the Consideration Notification Date be later than the date on which such Merger Event is consummated;

 

  (ii) promptly following any adjustment to the Convertible Notes in connection with any Potential Adjustment Event, Merger Event or Tender Offer, Counterparty shall give Dealer written notice of the details of such adjustment; and

 

26


  (iii) promptly following the public announcement of any change to the pending merger transaction between Counterparty and Tornier N.V. (including, without limitation, any termination, amendment or modification of the related merger agreement, any change to the consideration for the Shares and/or the withdrawal, or abandonment or discontinuation of, such transaction).

 

  (r) Wall Street Transparency and Accountability Act . In connection with Section 739 of the Wall Street Transparency and Accountability Act of 2010 (“ WSTAA ”), the parties hereby agree that neither the enactment of WSTAA or any regulation under the WSTAA, nor any requirement under WSTAA or an amendment made by WSTAA, shall limit or otherwise impair either party’s otherwise applicable rights to terminate, renegotiate, modify, amend or supplement this Confirmation or the Agreement, as applicable, arising from a termination event, force majeure, illegality, increased costs, regulatory change or similar event under this Confirmation, the Equity Definitions incorporated herein, or the Agreement (including, but not limited to, rights arising from Change in Law, Hedging Disruption, Increased Cost of Hedging, an Excess Ownership Position, or Illegality (as defined in the Agreement)).

 

  (s) Agreements and Acknowledgements Regarding Hedging . Counterparty understands, acknowledges and agrees that: (A) at any time on and prior to the Expiration Date, Dealer and its affiliates may buy or sell Shares or other securities or buy or sell options or futures contracts or enter into swaps or other derivative securities in order to adjust its hedge position with respect to the Transaction; (B) Dealer and its affiliates also may be active in the market for Shares other than in connection with hedging activities in relation to the Transaction; (C) Dealer shall make its own determination as to whether, when or in what manner any hedging or market activities in securities of Issuer shall be conducted and shall do so in a manner that it deems appropriate to hedge its price and market risk with respect to the Relevant Prices; and (D) any market activities of Dealer and its affiliates with respect to Shares may affect the market price and volatility of Shares, as well as the Relevant Prices, each in a manner that may be adverse to Counterparty.

 

  (t)

Early Unwind . In the event the sale of the “Option Securities” (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) is not consummated with the Initial Purchasers for any reason by 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Premium Payment Date, or such later date as agreed upon by the parties (the Premium Payment Date or such later date, the “ Early Unwind Date ”), the Transaction shall automatically terminate (the “ Early Unwind ”) on the Early Unwind Date and (i) the Transaction and all of the respective rights and obligations of Dealer and Counterparty under the Transaction shall be cancelled and terminated and (ii) each party shall be released and discharged by the other party from and agrees not to make any claim against

 

27


  the other party with respect to any obligations or liabilities of the other party arising out of and to be performed as Hedging Positions in respect of this Transaction either prior to or after the Early Unwind Date. Each of Dealer and Counterparty represents and acknowledges to the other that, subject to the proviso included in this Section 9(t), upon an Early Unwind, all obligations with respect to the Transaction shall be deemed fully and finally discharged.

 

  (u) Designation of Dealer . Notwithstanding any other provision in this Confirmation to the contrary requiring or allowing Dealer to purchase, sell, receive or deliver any Shares or other securities to or from Issuer, Dealer may designate any of its affiliates to purchase, sell, receive or deliver such Shares or other securities and otherwise to perform Dealer obligations in respect of the Transaction and any such designee may assume such obligations. Dealer shall be discharged of its obligations to Counterparty to the extent of any such performance.

 

  (v) Non-US Merger Transactions. Issuer shall not enter into or consummate any Non-US Merger Transaction (other than the Permitted Tornier Merger Transaction) unless the successor Issuer immediately following such Non-US Merger Transaction repeats to Dealer immediately following such Non-US Merger Transaction the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 8(a), 8(b), 8(c) and 8(d) of this Confirmation (as if references therein to (i) “execute, deliver” were replaced with “assume”, (ii) “execution, delivery” and “execution and delivery” were replaced with “assumption” and (iii) “executed and delivered” were replaced with “assumed”).

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Confirmation if (a) at or prior to the Tornier Merger Transaction, (1) Issuer enters into or consummates any Non-US Merger Transaction pursuant to which Issuer following such Non-US Merger Transaction is not a corporation organized under the laws of the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia (or, solely in the case of the Tornier Merger Transaction, not a Dutch public limited company or an entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes organized and existing under the laws of the Netherlands), or (2) Counterparty ceases to be a corporation organized under the laws of the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia that is Issuer or a wholly-owned subsidiary of Issuer, or (3) Issuer enters into or consummates any Non-US Merger Transaction and does not comply with the requirements of the immediately previous paragraph of this Section 9(v), or (b) after the Tornier Merger Transaction, (1) Issuer enters into or consummates any Non-US Merger Transaction pursuant to which Issuer following such Non-US Merger Transaction is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than the Islands of Bermuda, the Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland, Luxembourg, the Republic of Ireland, Canada or the United Kingdom, (2) Counterparty ceases to be a corporation organized under the laws of the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia that is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Issuer, or (3) Issuer enters into or consummates any Non-US Merger Transaction and does not comply with the requirements of the immediately previous paragraph of this Section 9(v), then, in any such case of clauses (a) and (b), such transaction or

 

28


event shall constitute an Additional Termination Event applicable to the Transaction and, with respect to such Additional Termination Event, (A) Counterparty shall be deemed to be the sole Affected Party, (B) the Transaction shall be the sole Affected Transaction and (C) Dealer shall be the party entitled to designate an Early Termination Date pursuant to Section 6(b) of the Agreement.

If, at any time following the occurrence of any Non-US Merger Transaction (other than the Permitted Tornier Merger Transaction), Dealer determines in good faith that (x) such Non-US Merger Transaction has had an adverse effect on Dealer’s rights and obligations under the Transaction or (y) Dealer would incur an increased amount of tax, duty, expense or fee to (1) acquire, establish, re-establish, substitute, maintain, unwind or dispose of any transaction(s) or asset(s) it deems necessary to hedge the economic risk of entering into and performing its obligations with respect to the Transaction, or (2) realize, recover or remit the proceeds of any such transaction(s) or asset(s) (each of the events described in clause (x) and clause (y) above, a “ Non-US Merger Event ”), then, in either case, Dealer shall give notice to Counterparty of such Non-US Merger Event.

the date hereof with the understanding that (i) definitions set forth in the Indenture which are also defined herein by reference to the Indenture and (ii) sections of the Indenture that are referred to herein will conform to the descriptions thereof in the Offering Memorandum. If any such definitions in the Indenture or any such sections of the Indenture differ from the descriptions thereof in the Offering Memorandum, the descriptions thereof in the Offering Memorandum will govern for purposes of this Confirmation. The parties further acknowledge that the Indenture section numbers used herein are based on the draft of the Indenture last reviewed by Dealer as of the date of this Confirmation, and if any such section numbers are changed in the Indenture as executed, the parties will amend this Confirmation in good faith to preserve the intent of the parties. Subject to the foregoing, references to the Indenture herein are references to the Indenture as in effect on the date of its execution, and if the Indenture is amended following such date, any such amendment will be disregarded for purposes of this Confirmation unless the parties agree otherwise in writing.

Transaction in a commercially reasonable manner, after consultation with Counterparty; provided , further , that, notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Potential Adjustment Event occurs during the Settlement Averaging Period but no adjustment was made to any Convertible Note under the Indenture because the relevant Holder (as such term is defined in the Indenture) was deemed to be a record owner of the underlying Shares on the related Conversion Date, then the Calculation Agent shall make an adjustment, as determined by it in a commercially reasonable manner, after consultation with Counterparty, to the terms hereof in order to account for such Potential Adjustment Event.

8. Representations and Warranties of Counterparty .

Each of the representations and warranties of Counterparty set forth in Section 3 of the Purchase Agreement (the “ Purchase Agreement ”), dated as of February 9, 2015, between Counterparty and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, as representative of the Initial Purchasers party thereto (the “ Initial Purchasers ”), are true and correct and are hereby deemed to be repeated to Dealer as if set forth herein. Counterparty hereby further represents and warrants to Dealer on the date hereof and on and as of the Premium Payment Date that:

 

  (a) Counterparty has all necessary corporate power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations in respect of the Transaction; such execution, delivery and performance have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on Counterparty’s part; and this Confirmation has been duly and validly executed and delivered by Counterparty and constitutes its valid and binding obligation, enforceable against Counterparty in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights and remedies generally, and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity, including principles of commercial reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding at law or in equity) and except that rights to indemnification and contribution hereunder may be limited by federal or state securities laws or public policy relating thereto.

 

  (b) Neither the execution and delivery of this Confirmation nor the incurrence or performance of obligations of Counterparty hereunder will conflict with or result in a breach of the certificate of incorporation or by-laws (or any equivalent documents) of Counterparty, or any applicable law or regulation, or any order, writ, injunction or decree of any court or governmental authority or agency, or any agreement or instrument to which Counterparty or any of its subsidiaries is a party or by which Counterparty or any of its subsidiaries is bound or to which Counterparty or any of its subsidiaries is subject, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation of any lien under, any such agreement or instrument.


  (c) No consent, approval, authorization, or order of, or filing with, any governmental agency or body or any court is required in connection with the execution, delivery or performance by Counterparty of this Confirmation, except such as have been obtained or made and such as may be required under the Securities Act or state securities laws.

 

  (d) Counterparty is not and, after consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, will not be required to register as an “investment company” as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

 

  (e) Counterparty is an “eligible contract participant” (as such term is defined in Section 1a(18) of the Commodity Exchange Act, as amended, other than a person that is an eligible contract participant under Section 1a(18)(C) of the Commodity Exchange Act).

 

  (f) Each of it and its affiliates is not, on the date hereof, in possession of any material non-public information with respect to Issuer or the Shares.

 

  (g) No state or local (including any non-U.S. jurisdiction’s) law, rule, regulation or regulatory order applicable to the Shares would give rise to any reporting, consent, registration or other requirement (including without limitation a requirement to obtain prior approval from any person or entity) as a result of Dealer or its affiliates owning or holding (however defined) Shares.

 

  (h) Counterparty (A) is capable of evaluating investment risks independently, both in general and with regard to all transactions and investment strategies involving a security or securities; (B) will exercise independent judgment in evaluating the recommendations of any broker-dealer or its associated persons, unless it has otherwise notified the broker-dealer in writing; and (C) has total assets of at least $50 million.

 

9. Other Provisions .

 

  (a)

Opinions . In connection with the entry into or consummation of any Non-US Merger Transaction (as defined below) (other than the Permitted Tornier Merger Transaction), Counterparty shall deliver to Dealer an opinion of counsel (subject to customary qualifications, assumptions and exceptions), dated as of the date of such Non-US Merger Transaction, with respect to the matters set forth in Sections 8(a), 8(b) and 8(c) of this Confirmation (as if references therein to (i) “execute, deliver” were replaced with “assume”, (ii) “execution, delivery” and “execution and delivery” were replaced with “assumption” and (iii) “executed and delivered” were replaced with “assumed”). “ Non-US Merger Transaction ” means any Merger Event, reincorporation of Issuer, corporate inversion of Issuer or similar transaction pursuant to which (x) the consideration for the Shares includes (or, at the option of a holder of Shares, may include) shares of an entity or person that is not a corporation or is not organized under the laws of the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia or (y) the Issuer following such Merger Event,


  reincorporation of Issuer or corporate inversion of Issuer is organized in a jurisdiction other than the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia.

 

  (b)

Repurchase Notices . Counterparty shall, on any day on which Issuer effects any repurchase of Shares, promptly give Dealer a written notice of such repurchase (a “ Repurchase Notice ”) on such day if following such repurchase, the number of outstanding Shares as determined on such day is (i) less than 49,032,912 (in the case of the first such notice) or (ii) thereafter more than 1,880,680 less than the number of Shares included in the immediately preceding Repurchase Notice. Counterparty agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Dealer and its affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, affiliates, advisors, agents and controlling persons (each, an “ Indemnified Person ”) from and against any and all losses (including losses relating to Dealer’s hedging activities as a consequence of becoming, or of the risk of becoming, a Section 16 “insider”, including without limitation, any forbearance from hedging activities or cessation of hedging activities and any losses in connection therewith with respect to the Transaction), claims, damages, judgments, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees), joint or several, which an Indemnified Person may become subject to, as a result of Counterparty’s failure to provide Dealer with a Repurchase Notice on the day and in the manner specified in this paragraph, and to reimburse, within 30 days, upon written request, each of such Indemnified Persons for any reasonable legal or other expenses incurred in connection with investigating, preparing for, providing testimony or other evidence in connection with or defending any of the foregoing. If any suit, action, proceeding (including any governmental or regulatory investigation), claim or demand shall be brought or asserted against the Indemnified Person as a result of Counterparty’s failure to provide Dealer with a Repurchase Notice in accordance with this paragraph, such Indemnified Person shall promptly notify Counterparty in writing, and Counterparty, upon request of the Indemnified Person, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person to represent the Indemnified Person and any others Counterparty may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel related to such proceeding. Counterparty shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding contemplated by this paragraph that is effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, Counterparty agrees to indemnify any Indemnified Person from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Counterparty shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Person, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding contemplated by this paragraph that is in respect of which any Indemnified Person is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding on terms reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person. If the indemnification provided for in this paragraph is unavailable to an Indemnified Person or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to


  therein, then Counterparty hereunder, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Person thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Person as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities. The remedies provided for in this paragraph (b) are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any Indemnified Person at law or in equity. The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this paragraph shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the termination of the Transaction.

 

  (c) Regulation M . Counterparty is not on the Trade Date engaged in a distribution, as such term is used in Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “ Exchange Act ”), of any securities of Counterparty, other than a distribution meeting the requirements of the exception set forth in Rules 101(b)(10) and 102(b)(7) of Regulation M. Counterparty shall not, until the second Scheduled Trading Day immediately following the Effective Date, engage in any such distribution.

 

  (d) No Manipulation . Counterparty is not entering into the Transaction to create actual or apparent trading activity in the Shares (or any security convertible into or exchangeable for the Shares) or to raise or depress or otherwise manipulate the price of the Shares (or any security convertible into or exchangeable for the Shares) or otherwise in violation of the Exchange Act.

 

  (e) Transfer or Assignment .

 

  (i) Counterparty shall have the right to transfer or assign its rights and obligations hereunder with respect to all, but not less than all, of the Options hereunder (such Options, the “ Transfer Options ”); provided that such transfer or assignment shall be subject to reasonable conditions that Dealer may impose, including but not limited, to the following conditions:

 

  (A) With respect to any Transfer Options, Counterparty shall not be released from its notice and indemnification obligations pursuant to Section 9(b) or any obligations under Section 9(m) or 9(q) of this Confirmation;

 

  (B) Any Transfer Options shall only be transferred or assigned to a third party that is a United States person (as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code);

 

  (C) Such transfer or assignment shall be effected on terms, including any reasonable undertakings by such third party (including, but not limited to, an undertaking with respect to compliance with applicable securities laws in a manner that, in the reasonable judgment of Dealer, will not expose Dealer to material risks under applicable securities laws) and execution of any documentation and delivery of legal opinions with respect to securities laws and other matters by such third party and Counterparty, as are requested and reasonably satisfactory to Dealer;


  (D) Dealer will not, as a result of such transfer and assignment, be required to pay the transferee on any payment date an amount under Section 2(d)(i)(4) of the Agreement greater than an amount that Dealer would have been required to pay to Counterparty in the absence of such transfer and assignment;

 

  (E) An Event of Default, Potential Event of Default or Termination Event will not occur as a result of such transfer and assignment;

 

  (F) Without limiting the generality of clause (B), Counterparty shall cause the transferee to make such Payee Tax Representations and to provide such tax documentation as may be reasonably requested by Dealer to permit Dealer to determine that results described in clauses (D) and (E) will not occur upon or after such transfer and assignment; and

 

  (G) Counterparty shall be responsible for all reasonable costs and expenses, including reasonable counsel fees, incurred by Dealer in connection with such transfer or assignment;

and, for the avoidance of doubt, without limitation of any other provision hereof, the consummation of the Permitted Tornier Merger Transaction (as defined in the Indenture) shall not be deemed to be a transfer or assignment of the Company’s rights and obligations under the Transaction.

 

  (ii)

Dealer may, without Counterparty’s consent, transfer or assign all or any part of its rights or obligations under the Transaction (A) to any affiliate of Dealer (1) that has a rating for its long term, unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness that is equal to or better than Dealer’s credit rating at the time of such transfer or assignment, or (2) whose obligations hereunder will be guaranteed, pursuant to the terms of a customary guarantee in a form used by Dealer generally for similar transactions, by Dealer, or (B) to any other third party with a rating for its long term, unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness equal to or better than the lesser of (1) the credit rating of Dealer at the time of the transfer and (2) A- by Standard and Poor’s Rating Group, Inc. or its successor (“ S&P ”), or A3 by Moody’s Investor Service, Inc. (“ Moody’s ”) or, if either S&P or Moody’s ceases to rate such debt, at least an equivalent rating or better by a substitute rating agency mutually agreed by Counterparty and Dealer. If at any time at which (A) the Section 16 Percentage exceeds 7.5%, (B) the Option Equity Percentage exceeds 14.5%, or (C) the Share Amount exceeds the Applicable Share Limit (if any applies) (any such condition described in clauses (A), (B) or (C), an “ Excess Ownership Position ”),


  Dealer is unable after using its good faith and commercially reasonable efforts to effect a transfer or assignment of Options to a third party on pricing terms reasonably acceptable to Dealer and within a time period reasonably acceptable to Dealer such that no Excess Ownership Position exists, then Dealer may designate any Exchange Business Day as an Early Termination Date with respect to a portion of the Transaction (the “ Terminated Portion ”), such that following such partial termination no Excess Ownership Position exists. In the event that Dealer so designates an Early Termination Date with respect to a portion of the Transaction, a payment shall be made pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement as if (1) an Early Termination Date had been designated in respect of a Transaction having terms identical to the Transaction and a Number of Options equal to the number of Options underlying the Terminated Portion, (2) Counterparty were the sole Affected Party with respect to such partial termination and (3) the Terminated Portion were the sole Affected Transaction (and, for the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of Section 9(k) shall apply to any amount that is payable by Dealer to Counterparty pursuant to this sentence as if Counterparty was not the Affected Party). The “ Section 16 Percentage ” as of any day is the fraction, expressed as a percentage, (A) the numerator of which is the number of Shares that Dealer and each person subject to aggregation of Shares with Dealer under Section 13 or Section 16 of the Exchange Act and rules promulgated thereunder directly or indirectly beneficially own (as defined under Section 13 or Section 16 of the Exchange Act and rules promulgated thereunder) and (B) the denominator of which is the number of Shares outstanding. The “ Option Equity Percentage ” as of any day is the fraction, expressed as a percentage, (A) the numerator of which is the sum of (1) the product of the Number of Options and the Option Entitlement and (2) the aggregate number of Shares underlying any other call option transaction sold by Dealer to Counterparty or Issuer, as applicable, and (B) the denominator of which is the number of Shares outstanding. The “ Share Amount ” as of any day is the number of Shares that Dealer and any person whose ownership position would be aggregated with that of Dealer (Dealer or any such person, a “ Dealer Person ”) under any law, rule, regulation, regulatory order or organizational documents or contracts of Issuer that are, in each case, applicable to ownership of Shares (“ Applicable Restrictions ”), owns, beneficially owns, constructively owns, controls, holds the power to vote or otherwise meets a relevant definition of ownership under any Applicable Restriction, as determined by Dealer in its reasonable discretion. The “ Applicable Share Limit ” means a number of Shares equal to (A) the minimum number of Shares that could give rise to reporting or registration obligations or other requirements (including obtaining prior approval from any person or entity) of a Dealer Person, or could result in an adverse effect on a Dealer Person, under any Applicable Restriction, as determined by Dealer in its reasonable discretion, minus (B) 1% of the number of Shares outstanding.


  (iii) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Confirmation to the contrary requiring or allowing Dealer to purchase, sell, receive or deliver any Shares or other securities, or make or receive any payment in cash, to or from Counterparty, Dealer may designate any of its affiliates to purchase, sell, receive or deliver such Shares or other securities, or to make or receive such payment in cash, and otherwise to perform Dealer’s obligations in respect of the Transaction and any such designee may assume such obligations. Dealer shall be discharged of its obligations to Counterparty to the extent of any such performance.

 

  (f) Ratings Decline . If at any time the long term, unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of Dealer is rated Ba1 or lower by Moody’s or BB+ or lower by S&P (any such rating, a “ Ratings Downgrade ”), then Counterparty may, at any time following the occurrence and during the continuation of such Ratings Downgrade, provide written notice to Dealer specifying that it elects for this Section 9(f) to apply (a “ Trigger Notice ”). Upon receipt by Dealer of a Trigger Notice from Counterparty, Dealer shall promptly elect that either (i) the parties shall negotiate in good faith terms for collateral arrangements pursuant to which Dealer is required to provide collateral (including, but not limited to, equity or equity-linked securities issued by Counterparty or Issuer, as applicable) to Counterparty in respect of the Transaction with a value equal to the full mark-to-market exposure of Counterparty under the Transaction, as determined by Dealer in a good faith commercially reasonable manner, or (ii) an Additional Termination Event shall occur and, with respect to such Additional Termination Event, (A) Counterparty shall be deemed to be the sole Affected Party, and (B) the Transaction shall be the sole Affected Transaction.

 

  (g) Role of Agent . Each party agrees and acknowledges that (i) J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, an affiliate of JPMorgan (“ JPMS ”), has acted solely as agent for Dealer and not as principal with respect to the Transaction and (ii) JPMS has no obligation or liability, by way of guaranty, endorsement or otherwise, in any manner in respect of the Transaction (including, if applicable, in respect of the settlement thereof). Each party agrees it will look solely to the other party (or any guarantor in respect thereof) for performance of such other party’s obligations under the Transaction. For the avoidance of doubt, any performance by Dealer of its obligations hereunder solely to JPMS shall not relieve Dealer of such obligations. Any performance by Counterparty of its obligations (including notice obligations) through or by means of JPMS’ agency for Dealer shall constitute good performance of Counterparty’s obligations hereunder to Dealer.

 

  (h) Additional Termination Events .

 

  (i)

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Confirmation if an event of default occurs under the terms of the Convertible Notes as set forth in Section 6.01 of the Indenture, then such event of default shall constitute an Additional Termination Event applicable to the Transaction and, with respect to such Additional Termination Event, (A) Counterparty shall be


  deemed to be the sole Affected Party, (B) the Transaction shall be the sole Affected Transaction and (C) Dealer shall be the party entitled to designate an Early Termination Date pursuant to Section 6(b) of the Agreement.

 

  (i) Amendments to the Equity Definitions .

 

  (i) Section 12.6(a)(ii) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended by (1) deleting from the fourth line thereof the word “or” after the word “official” and inserting a comma therefor, and (2) deleting the semi-colon at the end of subsection (B) thereof and inserting the following words therefor “or (C) at Dealer’s option, the occurrence of any of the events specified in Section 5(a)(vii)(1) through (9) of the ISDA Master Agreement with respect to that Issuer.”

 

  (ii) Section 12.9(b)(i) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended by (1) replacing “either party may elect” with “Dealer may elect” and (2) replacing “notice to the other party” with “notice to Counterparty” in the first sentence of such section.

 

  (j) Setoff . Obligations under the Transaction shall not be set off by either party against any other obligations of the parties, whether arising under the Agreement, this Confirmation, under any other agreement between the parties hereto, by operation of law or otherwise. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event of bankruptcy or liquidation of either Counterparty or Dealer neither party shall have the right to set off any obligation that it may have to the other party under the Transaction against any obligation such other party may have to it, whether arising under the Agreement, this Confirmation or any other agreement between the parties hereto, by operation of law or otherwise.

 

  (k) Alternative Calculations and Payment on Early Termination and on Certain Extraordinary Events . If in respect of the Transaction, an amount is payable by Dealer to Counterparty (i) pursuant to Section 12.7 or Section 12.9 of the Equity Definitions or (ii) pursuant to Section 6(d)(ii) of the Agreement (any such amount, a “ Payment Obligation ”), Dealer shall satisfy the Payment Obligation by the Share Termination Alternative (as defined below), unless (a) Counterparty gives irrevocable telephonic notice to Dealer, confirmed in writing within one Scheduled Trading Day, no later than 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Merger Date, the Tender Offer Date, the Announcement Date (in the case of Nationalization, Insolvency or Delisting), the Early Termination Date or date of cancellation, as applicable, of its election that the Share Termination Alternative shall not apply, (b) Counterparty remakes (which representation is confirmed to Dealer in writing by Issuer, if other than Counterparty) the representation set forth in Section 8(f) as of the date of such election and (c) Dealer agrees, in its reasonable discretion, to such election, in which case the provisions of Section 12.7 or Section 12.9 of the Equity Definitions, or the provisions of Section 6(d)(ii) of the Agreement, as the case may be, shall apply.


Share Termination Alternative:

If applicable, Dealer shall deliver to Counterparty the Share Termination Delivery Property on, or within a commercially reasonable period of time after, the date when the relevant Payment Obligation would otherwise be due pursuant to Section 12.7 or 12.9 of the Equity Definitions or Section 6(d) (ii) and 6(e) of the Agreement, as applicable (the “ Share Termination Payment Date ”), in satisfaction of such Payment Obligation in the manner reasonably requested by Counterparty free of payment.

Share Termination Delivery Property:

A number of Share Termination Delivery Units, as calculated by the Calculation Agent, equal to the Payment Obligation divided by the Share Termination Unit Price. The Calculation Agent shall adjust the Share Termination Delivery Property by replacing any fractional portion of a security therein with an amount of cash equal to the value of such fractional security based on the values used to calculate the Share Termination Unit Price.

Share Termination Unit Price:

The value to Dealer of property contained in one Share Termination Delivery Unit, as determined by the Calculation Agent in its discretion by commercially reasonable means and notified by the Calculation Agent to Dealer at the time of notification of the Payment Obligation. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties agree that in determining the Share Termination Delivery Unit Price the Calculation Agent may consider, if commercially reasonable, the purchase price paid in connection with the purchase of Share Termination Delivery Property.

Share Termination Delivery Unit:

One Share or, if the Shares have changed into cash or any other property or the right to receive cash or any other property as the result of a Nationalization, Insolvency or Merger Event (any such cash or other property, the “ Exchange Property ”), a unit


consisting of the type and amount of such Exchange Property received by a holder of one Share (without consideration of any requirement to pay cash or other consideration in lieu of fractional amounts of any securities) in such Nationalization, Insolvency or Merger Event, as determined by the Calculation Agent.

Failure to Deliver:

Applicable

Other applicable provisions:

If Share Termination Alternative is applicable, the provisions of Sections 9.8, 9.9 and 9.11 (as modified above) of the Equity Definitions and the provisions set forth opposite the caption “Representation and Agreement” in Section 2 will be applicable, except that all references in such provisions to “Physically-settled” shall be read as references to “Share Termination Settled” and all references to “Shares” shall be read as references to “Share Termination Delivery Units”. “Share Termination Settled” in relation to the Transaction means that the Share Termination Alternative is applicable to the Transaction.

 

  (l) Waiver of Jury Trial . Each party waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any right it may have to a trial by jury in respect of any suit, action or proceeding relating to the Transaction. Each party (i) certifies that no representative, agent or attorney of either party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other party would not, in the event of such a suit, action or proceeding, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver and (ii) acknowledges that it and the other party have been induced to enter into the Transaction, as applicable, by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications provided herein.

 

  (m)

Registration . Counterparty hereby agrees that if, in the good faith reasonable judgment of Dealer, the Shares (“ Hedge Shares ”) acquired by Dealer for the purpose of hedging its obligations pursuant to the Transaction cannot be sold in the public market by Dealer without registration under the Securities Act, Counterparty shall (or shall cause Issuer to), at its election, either (i) in order to allow Dealer to sell the Hedge Shares in a registered offering, make available to Dealer an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and enter into an agreement, in form and substance satisfactory to Dealer, substantially in the form of an underwriting agreement for a registered secondary offering; provided , however , that if Dealer, in its sole reasonable discretion, is not satisfied with access to due diligence materials, the results of its due diligence investigation, or


  the procedures and documentation for the registered offering referred to above, then clause (ii) or clause (iii) of this paragraph shall apply at the election of Counterparty, (ii) in order to allow Dealer to sell the Hedge Shares in a private placement, enter into a private placement agreement substantially similar to private placement purchase agreements customary for private placements of equity securities, in form and substance satisfactory to Dealer (in which case, the Calculation Agent shall make any adjustments to the terms of the Transaction that are necessary, in its reasonable judgment, to compensate Dealer for any discount from the public market price of the Shares incurred on the sale of Hedge Shares in a private placement), or (iii) purchase the Hedge Shares from Dealer at the Relevant Price on such Exchange Business Days, and in the amounts, requested by Dealer.

 

  (n) Tax Disclosure . Effective from the date of commencement of discussions concerning the Transaction, Counterparty and each of its employees, representatives, or other agents may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of the Transaction and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to Counterparty relating to such tax treatment and tax structure.

 

  (o) Right to Extend . Dealer may postpone or add, in whole or in part, any Valid Day or Valid Days during the Settlement Averaging Period or any other date of valuation, payment or delivery by Dealer, with respect to some or all of the Options hereunder, if Dealer reasonably and in good faith determines, based on the advice of counsel in the case of the immediately following clause (ii), that such action is reasonably necessary or appropriate (i) to preserve Dealer’s commercially reasonable hedging or hedge unwind activity hereunder in light of existing liquidity conditions or (ii) to enable Dealer to effect transactions with respect to Shares in connection with its commercially reasonable hedging, hedge unwind or settlement activity hereunder in a manner that would, if Dealer were Issuer or an affiliated purchaser of Issuer, be in compliance with applicable legal, regulatory or self-regulatory requirements, or with related policies and procedures applicable to Dealer.

 

  (p) Securities Contract; Swap Agreement . The parties hereto intend for (i) the Transaction to be a “securities contract” and a “swap agreement” as defined in the Bankruptcy Code (Title 11 of the United States Code) (the “ Bankruptcy Code ”), and the parties hereto to be entitled to the protections afforded by, among other Sections, Sections 362(b)(6), 362(b)(17), 546(e), 546(g), 555 and 560 of the Bankruptcy Code, (ii) a party’s right to liquidate the Transaction and to exercise any other remedies upon the occurrence of any Event of Default under the Agreement with respect to the other party to constitute a “contractual right” as described in the Bankruptcy Code, and (iii) each payment and delivery of cash, securities or other property hereunder to constitute a “margin payment” or “settlement payment” and a “transfer” as defined in the Bankruptcy Code.


  (q) Notice of Certain Other Events . Counterparty covenants and agrees that:

 

  (i) promptly following the public announcement of the results of any election by the holders of Shares with respect to the consideration due upon consummation of any Merger Event, Counterparty shall give Dealer written notice of the types and amounts of consideration that holders of Shares have elected to receive upon consummation of such Merger Event (the date of such notification, the “ Consideration Notification Date ”); provided that in no event shall the Consideration Notification Date be later than the date on which such Merger Event is consummated;

 

  (ii) promptly following any adjustment to the Convertible Notes in connection with any Potential Adjustment Event, Merger Event or Tender Offer, Counterparty shall give Dealer written notice of the details of such adjustment; and

 

  (iii) promptly following the public announcement of any change to the pending merger transaction between Counterparty and Tornier N.V.

  (s) Agreements and Acknowledgements Regarding Hedging . Counterparty understands, acknowledges and agrees that: (A) at any time on and prior to the Expiration Date, Dealer and its affiliates may buy or sell Shares or other securities or buy or sell options or futures contracts or enter into swaps or other derivative securities in order to adjust its hedge position with respect to the Transaction; (B) Dealer and its affiliates also may be active in the market for Shares other than in connection with hedging activities in relation to the Transaction; (C) Dealer shall make its own determination as to whether, when or in what manner any hedging or market activities in securities of Issuer shall be conducted and shall do so in a manner that it deems appropriate to hedge its price and market risk with respect to the Relevant Prices; and (D) any market activities of Dealer and its affiliates with respect to Shares may affect the market price and volatility of Shares, as well as the Relevant Prices, each in a manner that may be adverse to Counterparty.

Each of Dealer and Counterparty represents and acknowledges to the other that, subject to the proviso included in this Section 9(t), upon an Early Unwind, all obligations with respect to the Transaction shall be deemed fully and finally discharged.

 

  (u) Designation of Dealer . Notwithstanding any other provision in this Confirmation to the contrary requiring or allowing Dealer to purchase, sell, receive or deliver any Shares or other securities to or from Issuer, Dealer may designate any of its affiliates to purchase, sell, receive or deliver such Shares or other securities and otherwise to perform Dealer obligations in respect of the Transaction and any such designee may assume such obligations. Dealer shall be discharged of its obligations to Counterparty to the extent of any such performance.

 

  (v) Non-US Merger Transactions . Issuer shall not enter into or consummate any Non-US Merger Transaction (other than the Permitted Tornier Merger Transaction) unless the successor Issuer immediately following such Non-US Merger Transaction repeats to Dealer immediately following such Non-US Merger Transaction the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 8(a), 8(b), 8(c) and 8(d) of this Confirmation (as if references therein to (i) “execute, deliver” were replaced with “assume”, (ii) “execution, delivery” and “execution and delivery” were replaced with “assumption” and (iii) “executed and delivered” were replaced with “assumed”).

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Confirmation if (a) at or prior to the Tornier Merger Transaction, (1) Issuer enters into or consummates any Non-US Merger Transaction pursuant to which Issuer following such Non-US Merger Transaction is not a corporation organized under the laws of the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia (or, solely in the case of the Tornier Merger Transaction, not a Dutch public limited company or an entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes organized and existing under the laws of the Netherlands), or (2) Counterparty ceases to be a corporation organized under the laws of the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia


that is Issuer or a wholly-owned subsidiary of Issuer, or (3) Issuer enters into or consummates any Non-US Merger Transaction and does not comply with the requirements of the immediately previous paragraph of this Section 9(v), or (b) after the Tornier Merger Transaction, (1) Issuer enters into or consummates any Non-US Merger Transaction pursuant to which Issuer following such Non-US Merger Transaction is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than the Islands of Bermuda, the Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland, Luxembourg, the Republic of Ireland, Canada or the United Kingdom, (2) Counterparty ceases to be a corporation organized under the laws of the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia that is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Issuer, or (3) Issuer enters into or consummates any Non-US Merger Transaction and does not comply with the requirements of the immediately previous paragraph of this Section 9(v), then, in any such case of clauses (a) and (b), such transaction or event shall constitute an Additional Termination Event applicable to the Transaction and, with respect to such Additional Termination Event, (A) Counterparty shall be deemed to be the sole Affected Party, (B) the Transaction shall be the sole Affected Transaction and (C) Dealer shall be the party entitled to designate an Early Termination Date pursuant to Section 6(b) of the Agreement.

If, at any time following the occurrence of any Non-US Merger Transaction (other than the Permitted Tornier Merger Transaction), Dealer determines in good faith that (x) such Non-US Merger Transaction has had an adverse effect on Dealer’s rights and obligations under the Transaction or (y) Dealer would incur an increased amount of tax, duty, expense or fee to (1) acquire, establish, re-establish, substitute, maintain, unwind or dispose of any transaction(s) or asset(s) it deems necessary to hedge the economic risk of entering into and performing its obligations with respect to the Transaction, or (2) realize, recover or remit the proceeds of any such transaction(s) or asset(s) (each of the events described in clause (x) and clause (y) above, a “ Non-US Merger Event ”), then, in either case, Dealer shall give notice to Counterparty of such Non-US Merger Event. Concurrently with delivering such notice, Dealer shall give notice to Counterparty of a Price Adjustment that Dealer reasonably and in good faith determines appropriate to account for the economic effect on the Transaction of such Non-US Merger Event (unless Dealer determines that no Price Adjustment will produce a commercially reasonably result, in which case Dealer shall so notify Counterparty). Unless Dealer determines in good faith that no Price Adjustment will produce a commercially reasonably result, within one Scheduled Trading Day of receipt of such notice, Counterparty shall notify Dealer that it elects to (A) agree to amend the Transaction to take into account such Price Adjustment or (B) pay Dealer the amount determined by Dealer that corresponds to such Price Adjustment (and, in each case, Counterparty shall repeat the representation set forth in Section 8(f) of this Confirmation (which representation is confirmed to Dealer in writing by Issuer, if other than Counterparty) as of the date of such election). If Counterparty fails to give such notice to Dealer of its election in accordance with the foregoing by the end of that first Scheduled Trading Day, or if Dealer determines that no Price Adjustment will produce a commercially reasonably result, then such failure or such determination, as the case may be,


shall constitute an Additional Termination Event applicable to the Transaction (it being understood that in the case of a Non-US Merger Event solely pursuant to clause (x) of the definition thereof, such determination shall constitute an Additional Termination Event only if the relevant adverse effect may have a material impact on Dealer’s rights and obligations under the Transaction, as determined by Dealer in good faith) and, with respect to such Additional Termination Event, (1) Counterparty shall be deemed to be the sole Affected Party, (2) the Transaction shall be the sole Affected Transaction and (3) Dealer shall be the party entitled to designate an Early Termination Date pursuant to Section 6(b) of the Agreement.

For the avoidance of doubt, the parties hereto agree and acknowledge that (I) the occurrence of an Non-US Merger Event shall not preclude the occurrence of one or more additional, subsequent Non-US Merger Events and (II) if a Non-US Merger Event occurs, Dealer will determine, in its sole discretion, whether to exercise its rights under the provisions of this Section 9(v) and/or the rights and remedies of Dealer and its affiliates under any other provision of this Confirmation, the Equity Definitions and the Agreement.

 

  (w) Tax Forms . Counterparty shall provide to Dealer a valid U.S. Internal Revenue Service (“ IRS ”) Form W-9 on or before the date of execution of this Confirmation and will promptly tender an updated IRS Form W-9 or applicable IRS Form W-8 if the previously tendered IRS Form W-9 becomes incorrect as a result of a change in facts. Dealer shall provide Counterparty a valid IRS Form W-9 or applicable IRS Form W-8 on or before the date of execution of this Confirmation and will promptly tender an updated IRS Form W-9 or applicable IRS Form W-8 if the previously tendered IRS Form W-9 or applicable IRS Form W-8 becomes incorrect as a result of a change in facts.

 

  (x) Certain Withholding Taxes . “Indemnifiable Tax” as defined in Section 14 of the Agreement shall not include any (i) tax imposed on payments treated as dividends from sources within the United States under Section 871(m) of the Code or any regulations or official guidance issued thereunder (an “871(m) Withholding Tax”) or (ii) tax imposed or collected pursuant to Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code, any current or future regulations or official interpretations thereof, any agreement entered into pursuant to Section 1471(b) of the Code, or any fiscal or regulatory legislation, rules or practices adopted pursuant to any intergovernmental agreement entered into in connection with the implementation of such Sections of the Code (a “FATCA Withholding Tax”). For the avoidance of doubt, an 871(m) Withholding Tax or a FATCA Withholding Tax is a Tax the deduction or withholding of which is required by applicable law for the purposes of Section 2(d) of the Agreement.

If any such definitions in the Indenture or any such sections of the Indenture differ from the descriptions thereof in the Offering Memorandum, the descriptions thereof in the Offering Memorandum will govern for purposes of this Confirmation. The parties further acknowledge that the Indenture section numbers used herein are based on the draft of the Indenture last reviewed by Dealer as of the date of this Confirmation, and if any such section numbers are changed in the Indenture as executed, the parties will amend this Confirmation in good faith to preserve the intent of the parties.

Notwithstanding the foregoing and “Consequence of Merger Events / Tender Offers” below, if the Calculation Agent in good faith disagrees with any adjustment to the Convertible Notes that involves an exercise of discretion by Counterparty, Issuer or its board of directors, as applicable (including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 14.05 of the Indenture, Section 14.07(a) of the Indenture or any supplemental indenture entered into thereunder or in connection with any proportional adjustment or the determination of the fair value of any securities, property, rights or other assets), then in


   each such case, the Calculation Agent will determine the adjustment to be made to any one or more of the Strike Price, Number of Options, Option Entitlement and any other variable relevant to the exercise, settlement or payment for the Transaction in a commercially reasonable manner, after consultation with Counterparty; provided , further , that, notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Potential Adjustment Event occurs during the Settlement Averaging Period but no adjustment was made to any Convertible Note under the Indenture because the relevant Holder (as such term is defined in the Indenture) was deemed to be a record owner of the underlying Shares on the related Conversion Date, then the Calculation Agent shall make an adjustment, as determined by it in a commercially reasonable manner, after consultation with Counterparty, to the terms hereof in order to account for such Potential Adjustment Event.

Dilution Adjustment Provisions:

Consequence of Merger Events / Tender Offers:

   Notwithstanding Section 12.2 and Section 12.3 of the Equity Definitions, upon the occurrence of a Merger Event or a Tender Offer, and to the extent the Calculation Agent determines appropriate, the Calculation Agent shall make a corresponding

   be the Issuer or a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Issuer following such Merger Event or Tender Offer, then Cancellation and Payment (Calculation Agent Determination) may apply at Dealer’s sole election, except that Cancellation and Payment will not apply if (1) such Merger Event constitutes the “Permitted Tornier Merger Transaction” (as defined in the Indenture), (2) Issuer following such Merger Event is a Dutch public limited company or an entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes organized and existing under the laws of the Netherlands and (3) Counterparty following such Merger Event is a corporation organized under the laws of the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia that is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Issuer following such Merger Event.

Nationalization, Insolvency or Delisting:

   Cancellation and Payment (Calculation Agent Determination); provided that the Permitted Tornier Merger Transaction (as defined in the Indenture) shall not constitute and shall not be deemed to constitute a Nationalization, Insolvency or Delisting; provided further that, in addition to the provisions of Section 12.6(a)(iii) of the Equity Definitions, it will also constitute a Delisting if the Exchange is located in the United States and the Shares are not immediately re-listed, re-traded or re-quoted on any of the New York Stock Exchange, The NASDAQ Global Select Market or The NASDAQ Global Market (or their respective successors); if the Shares are immediately re-listed, re-traded or re-quoted on any of the New York Stock Exchange, The NASDAQ Global Select Market or The NASDAQ Global Market (or their respective successors), such exchange or quotation system shall thereafter be deemed to be the Exchange.

8. Representations and Warranties of Counterparty .

Each of the representations and warranties of Counterparty set forth in Section 3 of the Purchase Agreement (the “ Purchase Agreement ”), dated as of February 9, 2015, between Counterparty and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, as representative of the Initial Purchasers party thereto (the “ Initial Purchasers ”), are true and correct and are hereby deemed to be repeated to Dealer as if set forth herein. Counterparty hereby further represents and warrants to Dealer on the date hereof and on and as of the Premium Payment Date that:

 

  (a) Counterparty has all necessary corporate power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations in respect of the Transaction; such execution, delivery and performance have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on Counterparty’s part; and this Confirmation has been duly and validly executed and delivered by Counterparty and constitutes its valid and binding obligation, enforceable against Counterparty in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights and remedies generally, and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity, including principles of commercial reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding at law or in equity) and except that rights to indemnification and contribution hereunder may be limited by federal or state securities laws or public policy relating thereto.

 

  (b) Neither the execution and delivery of this Confirmation nor the incurrence or performance of obligations of Counterparty hereunder will conflict with or result in a breach of the certificate of incorporation or by-laws (or any equivalent documents) of Counterparty, or any applicable law or regulation, or any order, writ, injunction or decree of any court or governmental authority or agency, or any agreement or instrument to which Counterparty or any of its subsidiaries is a party or by which Counterparty or any of its subsidiaries is bound or to which Counterparty or any of its subsidiaries is subject, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation of any lien under, any such agreement or instrument.


  (c) No consent, approval, authorization, or order of, or filing with, any governmental agency or body or any court is required in connection with the execution, delivery or performance by Counterparty of this Confirmation, except such as have been obtained or made and such as may be required under the Securities Act or state securities laws.

 

  (d) Counterparty is not and, after consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, will not be required to register as an “investment company” as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

 

  (e) Counterparty is an “eligible contract participant” (as such term is defined in Section 1a(18) of the Commodity Exchange Act, as amended, other than a person that is an eligible contract participant under Section 1a(18)(C) of the Commodity Exchange Act).

 

  (f) Each of it and its affiliates is not, on the date hereof, in possession of any material non-public information with respect to Issuer or the Shares.

 

  (g) No state or local (including any non-U.S. jurisdiction’s) law, rule, regulation or regulatory order applicable to the Shares would give rise to any reporting, consent, registration or other requirement (including without limitation a requirement to obtain prior approval from any person or entity) as a result of Dealer or its affiliates owning or holding (however defined) Shares.

 

  (h) Counterparty (A) is capable of evaluating investment risks independently, both in general and with regard to all transactions and investment strategies involving a security or securities; (B) will exercise independent judgment in evaluating the recommendations of any broker-dealer or its associated persons, unless it has otherwise notified the broker-dealer in writing; and (C) has total assets of at least $50 million.

 

9. Other Provisions .

 

  (a)

Opinions . In connection with the entry into or consummation of any Non-US Merger Transaction (as defined below) (other than the Permitted Tornier Merger Transaction), Counterparty shall deliver to Dealer an opinion of counsel (subject to customary qualifications, assumptions and exceptions), dated as of the date of such Non-US Merger Transaction, with respect to the matters set forth in Sections 8(a), 8(b) and 8(c) of this Confirmation (as if references therein to (i) “execute, deliver” were replaced with “assume”, (ii) “execution, delivery” and “execution and delivery” were replaced with “assumption” and (iii) “executed and delivered” were replaced with “assumed”). “ Non-US Merger Transaction ” means any Merger Event, reincorporation of Issuer, corporate inversion of Issuer or similar transaction pursuant to which (x) the consideration for the Shares includes (or, at the option of a holder of Shares, may include) shares of an entity or person that is


  not a corporation or is not organized under the laws of the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia or (y) the Issuer following such Merger Event, reincorporation of Issuer or corporate inversion of Issuer is organized in a jurisdiction other than the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia.

 

  (b)

Repurchase Notices . Counterparty shall, on any day on which Issuer effects any repurchase of Shares, promptly give Dealer a written notice of such repurchase (a “ Repurchase Notice ”) on such day if following such repurchase, the number of outstanding Shares as determined on such day is (i) less than 49,032,912 (in the case of the first such notice) or (ii) thereafter more than 1,880,680 less than the number of Shares included in the immediately preceding Repurchase Notice. Counterparty agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Dealer and its affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, affiliates, advisors, agents and controlling persons (each, an “ Indemnified Person ”) from and against any and all losses (including losses relating to Dealer’s hedging activities as a consequence of becoming, or of the risk of becoming, a Section 16 “insider”, including without limitation, any forbearance from hedging activities or cessation of hedging activities and any losses in connection therewith with respect to the Transaction), claims, damages, judgments, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees), joint or several, which an Indemnified Person may become subject to, as a result of Counterparty’s failure to provide Dealer with a Repurchase Notice on the day and in the manner specified in this paragraph, and to reimburse, within 30 days, upon written request, each of such Indemnified Persons for any reasonable legal or other expenses incurred in connection with investigating, preparing for, providing testimony or other evidence in connection with or defending any of the foregoing. If any suit, action, proceeding (including any governmental or regulatory investigation), claim or demand shall be brought or asserted against the Indemnified Person as a result of Counterparty’s failure to provide Dealer with a Repurchase Notice in accordance with this paragraph, such Indemnified Person shall promptly notify Counterparty in writing, and Counterparty, upon request of the Indemnified Person, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person to represent the Indemnified Person and any others Counterparty may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel related to such proceeding. Counterparty shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding contemplated by this paragraph that is effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, Counterparty agrees to indemnify any Indemnified Person from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Counterparty shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Person, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding contemplated by this paragraph that is in respect of which any Indemnified Person is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding on terms reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person. If the indemnification


  provided for in this paragraph is unavailable to an Indemnified Person or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then Counterparty hereunder, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Person thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Person as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities. The remedies provided for in this paragraph (b) are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any Indemnified Person at law or in equity. The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this paragraph shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the termination of the Transaction.

 

  (c) Regulation M . Counterparty is not on the Trade Date engaged in a distribution, as such term is used in Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “ Exchange Act ”), of any securities of Counterparty, other than a distribution meeting the requirements of the exception set forth in Rules 101(b)(10) and 102(b)(7) of Regulation M. Counterparty shall not, until the second Scheduled Trading Day immediately following the Effective Date, engage in any such distribution.

 

  (d) No Manipulation . Counterparty is not entering into the Transaction to create actual or apparent trading activity in the Shares (or any security convertible into or exchangeable for the Shares) or to raise or depress or otherwise manipulate the price of the Shares (or any security convertible into or exchangeable for the Shares) or otherwise in violation of the Exchange Act.

 

  (e) Transfer or Assignment .

 

  (i) Counterparty shall have the right to transfer or assign its rights and obligations hereunder with respect to all, but not less than all, of the Options hereunder (such Options, the “ Transfer Options ”); provided that such transfer or assignment shall be subject to reasonable conditions that Dealer may impose, including but not limited, to the following conditions:

 

  (A) With respect to any Transfer Options, Counterparty shall not be released from its notice and indemnification obligations pursuant to Section 9(b) or any obligations under Section 9(m) or 9(q) of this Confirmation;

 

  (B) Any Transfer Options shall only be transferred or assigned to a third party that is a United States person (as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code);

 

  (C)

Such transfer or assignment shall be effected on terms, including any reasonable undertakings by such third party (including, but not limited to, an undertaking with respect to compliance with applicable securities laws in a manner that, in the reasonable judgment of Dealer, will not expose Dealer to material risks under


  applicable securities laws) and execution of any documentation and delivery of legal opinions with respect to securities laws and other matters by such third party and Counterparty, as are requested and reasonably satisfactory to Dealer;

 

  (D) Dealer will not, as a result of such transfer and assignment, be required to pay the transferee on any payment date an amount under Section 2(d)(i)(4) of the Agreement greater than an amount that Dealer would have been required to pay to Counterparty in the absence of such transfer and assignment;

 

  (E) An Event of Default, Potential Event of Default or Termination Event will not occur as a result of such transfer and assignment;

 

  (F) Without limiting the generality of clause (B), Counterparty shall cause the transferee to make such Payee Tax Representations and to provide such tax documentation as may be reasonably requested by Dealer to permit Dealer to determine that results described in clauses (D) and (E) will not occur upon or after such transfer and assignment; and

 

  (G) Counterparty shall be responsible for all reasonable costs and expenses, including reasonable counsel fees, incurred by Dealer in connection with such transfer or assignment;

and, for the avoidance of doubt, without limitation of any other provision hereof, the consummation of the Permitted Tornier Merger Transaction (as defined in the Indenture) shall not be deemed to be a transfer or assignment of the Company’s rights and obligations under the Transaction.

 

  (ii)

Dealer may, without Counterparty’s consent, transfer or assign all or any part of its rights or obligations under the Transaction (A) to any affiliate of Dealer (1) that has a rating for its long term, unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness that is equal to or better than Dealer’s credit rating at the time of such transfer or assignment, or (2) whose obligations hereunder will be guaranteed, pursuant to the terms of a customary guarantee in a form used by Dealer generally for similar transactions, by Dealer, or (B) to any other third party with a rating for its long term, unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness equal to or better than the lesser of (1) the credit rating of Dealer at the time of the transfer and (2) A- by Standard and Poor’s Rating Group, Inc. or its successor (“ S&P ”), or A3 by Moody’s Investor Service, Inc. (“ Moody’s ”) or, if either S&P or Moody’s ceases to rate such debt, at least an equivalent rating or better by a substitute rating agency mutually agreed by Counterparty and Dealer. If at any time at which (A) the Section 16 Percentage exceeds 7.5%, (B) the Option Equity Percentage exceeds 14.5%, or (C) the Share Amount


  exceeds the Applicable Share Limit (if any applies) (any such condition described in clauses (A), (B) or (C), an “ Excess Ownership Position ”), Dealer is unable after using its good faith and commercially reasonable efforts to effect a transfer or assignment of Options to a third party on pricing terms reasonably acceptable to Dealer and within a time period reasonably acceptable to Dealer such that no Excess Ownership Position exists, then Dealer may designate any Exchange Business Day as an Early Termination Date with respect to a portion of the Transaction (the “ Terminated Portion ”), such that following such partial termination no Excess Ownership Position exists. In the event that Dealer so designates an Early Termination Date with respect to a portion of the Transaction, a payment shall be made pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement as if (1) an Early Termination Date had been designated in respect of a Transaction having terms identical to the Transaction and a Number of Options equal to the number of Options underlying the Terminated Portion, (2) Counterparty were the sole Affected Party with respect to such partial termination and (3) the Terminated Portion were the sole Affected Transaction (and, for the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of Section 9(k) shall apply to any amount that is payable by Dealer to Counterparty pursuant to this sentence as if Counterparty was not the Affected Party). The “ Section 16 Percentage ” as of any day is the fraction, expressed as a percentage, (A) the numerator of which is the number of Shares that Dealer and each person subject to aggregation of Shares with Dealer under Section 13 or Section 16 of the Exchange Act and rules promulgated thereunder directly or indirectly beneficially own (as defined under Section 13 or Section 16 of the Exchange Act and rules promulgated thereunder) and (B) the denominator of which is the number of Shares outstanding. The “ Option Equity Percentage ” as of any day is the fraction, expressed as a percentage, (A) the numerator of which is the sum of (1) the product of the Number of Options and the Option Entitlement and (2) the aggregate number of Shares underlying any other call option transaction sold by Dealer to Counterparty or Issuer, as applicable, and (B) the denominator of which is the number of Shares outstanding. The “ Share Amount ” as of any day is the number of Shares that Dealer and any person whose ownership position would be aggregated with that of Dealer (Dealer or any such person, a “ Dealer Person ”) under any law, rule, regulation, regulatory order or organizational documents or contracts of Issuer that are, in each case, applicable to ownership of Shares (“ Applicable Restrictions ”), owns, beneficially owns, constructively owns, controls, holds the power to vote or otherwise meets a relevant definition of ownership under any Applicable Restriction, as determined by Dealer in its reasonable discretion. The “ Applicable Share Limit ” means a number of Shares equal to (A) the minimum number of Shares that could give rise to reporting or registration obligations or other requirements (including obtaining prior approval from any person or entity) of a Dealer Person, or could result in an adverse effect on a Dealer Person, under any Applicable Restriction, as determined by Dealer in its reasonable discretion, minus (B) 1% of the number of Shares outstanding.


  (iii) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Confirmation to the contrary requiring or allowing Dealer to purchase, sell, receive or deliver any Shares or other securities, or make or receive any payment in cash, to or from Counterparty, Dealer may designate any of its affiliates to purchase, sell, receive or deliver such Shares or other securities, or to make or receive such payment in cash, and otherwise to perform Dealer’s obligations in respect of the Transaction and any such designee may assume such obligations. Dealer shall be discharged of its obligations to Counterparty to the extent of any such performance.

 

  (f) Ratings Decline . If at any time the long term, unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of Dealer is rated Ba1 or lower by Moody’s or BB+ or lower by S&P (any such rating, a “ Ratings Downgrade ”), then Counterparty may, at any time following the occurrence and during the continuation of such Ratings Downgrade, provide written notice to Dealer specifying that it elects for this Section 9(f) to apply (a “ Trigger Notice ”). Upon receipt by Dealer of a Trigger Notice from Counterparty, Dealer shall promptly elect that either (i) the parties shall negotiate in good faith terms for collateral arrangements pursuant to which Dealer is required to provide collateral (including, but not limited to, equity or equity-linked securities issued by Counterparty or Issuer, as applicable) to Counterparty in respect of the Transaction with a value equal to the full mark-to-market exposure of Counterparty under the Transaction, as determined by Dealer in a good faith commercially reasonable manner, or (ii) an Additional Termination Event shall occur and, with respect to such Additional Termination Event, (A) Counterparty shall be deemed to be the sole Affected Party, and (B) the Transaction shall be the sole Affected Transaction.

 

  (g) Role of Agent . Each party agrees and acknowledges that (i) J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, an affiliate of JPMorgan (“ JPMS ”), has acted solely as agent for Dealer and not as principal with respect to the Transaction and (ii) JPMS has no obligation or liability, by way of guaranty, endorsement or otherwise, in any manner in respect of the Transaction (including, if applicable, in respect of the settlement thereof). Each party agrees it will look solely to the other party (or any guarantor in respect thereof) for performance of such other party’s obligations under the Transaction. For the avoidance of doubt, any performance by Dealer of its obligations hereunder solely to JPMS shall not relieve Dealer of such obligations. Any performance by Counterparty of its obligations (including notice obligations) through or by means of JPMS’ agency for Dealer shall constitute good performance of Counterparty’s obligations hereunder to Dealer.

 

  (h) Additional Termination Events .

 

  (i)

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Confirmation if an event of default occurs under the terms of the Convertible Notes as set forth in


  Section 6.01 of the Indenture, then such event of default shall constitute an Additional Termination Event applicable to the Transaction and, with respect to such Additional Termination Event, (A) Counterparty shall be deemed to be the sole Affected Party, (B) the Transaction shall be the sole Affected Transaction and (C) Dealer shall be the party entitled to designate an Early Termination Date pursuant to Section 6(b) of the Agreement.

 

  (i) Amendments to the Equity Definitions .

 

  (i) Section 12.6(a)(ii) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended by (1) deleting from the fourth line thereof the word “or” after the word “official” and inserting a comma therefor, and (2) deleting the semi-colon at the end of subsection (B) thereof and inserting the following words therefor “or (C) at Dealer’s option, the occurrence of any of the events specified in Section 5(a)(vii)(1) through (9) of the ISDA Master Agreement with respect to that Issuer.”

 

  (ii) Section 12.9(b)(i) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended by (1) replacing “either party may elect” with “Dealer may elect” and (2) replacing “notice to the other party” with “notice to Counterparty” in the first sentence of such section.

 

  (j) Setoff . Obligations under the Transaction shall not be set off by either party against any other obligations of the parties, whether arising under the Agreement, this Confirmation, under any other agreement between the parties hereto, by operation of law or otherwise. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event of bankruptcy or liquidation of either Counterparty or Dealer neither party shall have the right to set off any obligation that it may have to the other party under the Transaction against any obligation such other party may have to it, whether arising under the Agreement, this Confirmation or any other agreement between the parties hereto, by operation of law or otherwise.

 

  (k)

Alternative Calculations and Payment on Early Termination and on Certain Extraordinary Events . If in respect of the Transaction, an amount is payable by Dealer to Counterparty (i) pursuant to Section 12.7 or Section 12.9 of the Equity Definitions or (ii) pursuant to Section 6(d)(ii) of the Agreement (any such amount, a “ Payment Obligation ”), Dealer shall satisfy the Payment Obligation by the Share Termination Alternative (as defined below), unless (a) Counterparty gives irrevocable telephonic notice to Dealer, confirmed in writing within one Scheduled Trading Day, no later than 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Merger Date, the Tender Offer Date, the Announcement Date (in the case of Nationalization, Insolvency or Delisting), the Early Termination Date or date of cancellation, as applicable, of its election that the Share Termination Alternative shall not apply, (b) Counterparty remakes (which representation is confirmed to Dealer in writing by Issuer, if other than Counterparty) the representation set forth in Section 8(f) as of the date of such election and (c) Dealer agrees, in its


  reasonable discretion, to such election, in which case the provisions of Section 12.7 or Section 12.9 of the Equity Definitions, or the provisions of Section 6(d)(ii) of the Agreement, as the case may be, shall apply.

 

Share Termination Alternative:    If applicable, Dealer shall deliver to Counterparty the Share Termination Delivery Property on, or within a commercially reasonable period of time after, the date when the relevant Payment Obligation would otherwise be due pursuant to Section 12.7 or 12.9 of the Equity Definitions or Section 6(d) (ii) and 6(e) of the Agreement, as applicable (the “ Share Termination Payment Date ”), in satisfaction of such Payment Obligation in the manner reasonably requested by Counterparty free of payment.
Share Termination Delivery Property:    A number of Share Termination Delivery Units, as calculated by the Calculation Agent, equal to the Payment Obligation divided by the Share Termination Unit Price. The Calculation Agent shall adjust the Share Termination Delivery Property by replacing any fractional portion of a security therein with an amount of cash equal to the value of such fractional security based on the values used to calculate the Share Termination Unit Price.
Share Termination Unit Price:    The value to Dealer of property contained in one Share Termination Delivery Unit, as determined by the Calculation Agent in its discretion by commercially reasonable means and notified by the Calculation Agent to Dealer at the time of notification of the Payment Obligation. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties agree that in determining the Share Termination Delivery Unit Price the Calculation Agent may consider, if commercially reasonable, the purchase price paid in connection with the purchase of Share Termination Delivery Property.
Share Termination Delivery Unit:    One Share or, if the Shares have changed into cash or any other property or the right


   to receive cash or any other property as the result of a Nationalization, Insolvency or Merger Event (any such cash or other property, the “ Exchange Property ”), a unit consisting of the type and amount of such Exchange Property received by a holder of one Share (without consideration of any requirement to pay cash or other consideration in lieu of fractional amounts of any securities) in such Nationalization, Insolvency or Merger Event, as determined by the Calculation Agent.
Failure to Deliver:    Applicable
Other applicable provisions:    If Share Termination Alternative is applicable, the provisions of Sections 9.8, 9.9 and 9.11 (as modified above) of the Equity Definitions and the provisions set forth opposite the caption “Representation and Agreement” in Section 2 will be applicable, except that all references in such provisions to “Physically-settled” shall be read as references to “Share Termination Settled” and all references to “Shares” shall be read as references to “Share Termination Delivery Units”. “Share Termination Settled” in relation to the Transaction means that the Share Termination Alternative is applicable to the Transaction.

 

  (l) Waiver of Jury Trial . Each party waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any right it may have to a trial by jury in respect of any suit, action or proceeding relating to the Transaction. Each party (i) certifies that no representative, agent or attorney of either party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other party would not, in the event of such a suit, action or proceeding, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver and (ii) acknowledges that it and the other party have been induced to enter into the Transaction, as applicable, by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications provided herein.

 

  (m)

Registration . Counterparty hereby agrees that if, in the good faith reasonable judgment of Dealer, the Shares (“ Hedge Shares ”) acquired by Dealer for the purpose of hedging its obligations pursuant to the Transaction cannot be sold in the public market by Dealer without registration under the Securities Act, Counterparty shall (or shall cause Issuer to), at its election, either (i) in order to allow Dealer to sell the Hedge Shares in a registered offering, make available to Dealer an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and enter into


  an agreement, in form and substance satisfactory to Dealer, substantially in the form of an underwriting agreement for a registered secondary offering; provided , however , that if Dealer, in its sole reasonable discretion, is not satisfied with access to due diligence materials, the results of its due diligence investigation, or the procedures and documentation for the registered offering referred to above, then clause (ii) or clause (iii) of this paragraph shall apply at the election of Counterparty, (ii) in order to allow Dealer to sell the Hedge Shares in a private placement, enter into a private placement agreement substantially similar to private placement purchase agreements customary for private placements of equity securities, in form and substance satisfactory to Dealer (in which case, the Calculation Agent shall make any adjustments to the terms of the Transaction that are necessary, in its reasonable judgment, to compensate Dealer for any discount from the public market price of the Shares incurred on the sale of Hedge Shares in a private placement), or (iii) purchase the Hedge Shares from Dealer at the Relevant Price on such Exchange Business Days, and in the amounts, requested by Dealer.

 

  (n) Tax Disclosure . Effective from the date of commencement of discussions concerning the Transaction, Counterparty and each of its employees, representatives, or other agents may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of the Transaction and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to Counterparty relating to such tax treatment and tax structure.

 

  (o) Right to Extend . Dealer may postpone or add, in whole or in part, any Valid Day or Valid Days during the Settlement Averaging Period or any other date of valuation, payment or delivery by Dealer, with respect to some or all of the Options hereunder, if Dealer reasonably and in good faith determines, based on the advice of counsel in the case of the immediately following clause (ii), that such action is reasonably necessary or appropriate (i) to preserve Dealer’s commercially reasonable hedging or hedge unwind activity hereunder in light of existing liquidity conditions or (ii) to enable Dealer to effect transactions with respect to Shares in connection with its commercially reasonable hedging, hedge unwind or settlement activity hereunder in a manner that would, if Dealer were Issuer or an affiliated purchaser of Issuer, be in compliance with applicable legal, regulatory or self-regulatory requirements, or with related policies and procedures applicable to Dealer.

 

  (p) Securities Contract; Swap Agreement . The parties hereto intend for (i) the Transaction to be a “securities contract” and a “swap agreement” as defined in the Bankruptcy Code (Title 11 of the United States Code) (the “ Bankruptcy Code ”), and the parties hereto to be entitled to the protections afforded by, among other Sections, Sections 362(b)(6), 362(b)(17), 546(e), 546(g), 555 and 560 of the Bankruptcy Code, (ii) a party’s right to liquidate the Transaction and to exercise any other remedies upon the occurrence of any Event of Default under the Agreement with respect to the other party to constitute a “contractual right” as described in the Bankruptcy Code, and (iii) each payment and delivery of cash, securities or other property hereunder to constitute a “margin payment” or “settlement payment” and a “transfer” as defined in the Bankruptcy Code.


  (q) Notice of Certain Other Events . Counterparty covenants and agrees that:

 

  (i) promptly following the public announcement of the results of any election by the holders of Shares with respect to the consideration due upon consummation of any Merger Event, Counterparty shall give Dealer written notice of the types and amounts of consideration that holders of Shares have elected to receive upon consummation of such Merger Event (the date of such notification, the “ Consideration Notification Date ”); provided that in no event shall the Consideration Notification Date be later than the date on which such Merger Event is consummated;

  (s)

Agreements and Acknowledgements Regarding Hedging . Counterparty understands, acknowledges and agrees that: (A) at any time on and prior to the Expiration Date, Dealer and its affiliates may buy or sell Shares or other securities or buy or sell options or futures contracts or enter into swaps or other derivative securities in order to adjust its hedge position with respect to the Transaction; (B) Dealer and its affiliates also may be active in the market for Shares other than in connection with hedging activities in relation to the Transaction; (C) Dealer shall make its own determination as to whether, when or in what manner any


  hedging or market activities in securities of Issuer shall be conducted and shall do so in a manner that it deems appropriate to hedge its price and market risk with respect to the Relevant Prices; and (D) any market activities of Dealer and its affiliates with respect to Shares may affect the market price and volatility of Shares, as well as the Relevant Prices, each in a manner that may be adverse to Counterparty.

Each of Dealer and Counterparty represents and acknowledges to the other that, subject to the proviso included in this Section 9(t), upon an Early Unwind, all obligations with respect to the Transaction shall be deemed fully and finally discharged.

 

  (u) Designation of Dealer . Notwithstanding any other provision in this Confirmation to the contrary requiring or allowing Dealer to purchase, sell, receive or deliver any Shares or other securities to or from Issuer, Dealer may designate any of its affiliates to purchase, sell, receive or deliver such Shares or other securities and otherwise to perform Dealer obligations in respect of the Transaction and any such designee may assume such obligations. Dealer shall be discharged of its obligations to Counterparty to the extent of any such performance.

 

  (v) Non-US Merger Transactions. Issuer shall not enter into or consummate any Non-US Merger Transaction (other than the Permitted Tornier Merger Transaction) unless the successor Issuer immediately following such Non-US Merger Transaction repeats to Dealer immediately following such Non-US Merger Transaction the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 8(a), 8(b), 8(c) and 8(d) of this Confirmation (as if references therein to (i) “execute, deliver” were replaced with “assume”, (ii) “execution, delivery” and “execution and delivery” were replaced with “assumption” and (iii) “executed and delivered” were replaced with “assumed”).

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Confirmation if (a) at or prior to the Tornier Merger Transaction, (1) Issuer enters into or consummates any Non-US Merger Transaction pursuant to which Issuer following such Non-US Merger Transaction is not a corporation organized under the laws of the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia (or, solely in the case of the Tornier Merger Transaction, not a Dutch public limited company or an entity treated as a


corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes organized and existing under the laws of the Netherlands), or (2) Counterparty ceases to be a corporation organized under the laws of the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia that is Issuer or a wholly-owned subsidiary of Issuer, or (3) Issuer enters into or consummates any Non-US Merger Transaction and does not comply with the requirements of the immediately previous paragraph of this Section 9(v), or (b) after the Tornier Merger Transaction, (1) Issuer enters into or consummates any Non-US Merger Transaction pursuant to which Issuer following such Non-US Merger Transaction is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than the Islands of Bermuda, the Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland, Luxembourg, the Republic of Ireland, Canada or the United Kingdom, (2) Counterparty ceases to be a corporation organized under the laws of the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia that is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Issuer, or (3) Issuer enters into or consummates any Non-US Merger Transaction and does not comply with the requirements of the immediately previous paragraph of this Section 9(v), then, in any such case of clauses (a) and (b), such transaction or event shall constitute an Additional Termination Event applicable to the Transaction and, with respect to such Additional Termination Event, (A) Counterparty shall be deemed to be the sole Affected Party, (B) the Transaction shall be the sole Affected Transaction and (C) Dealer shall be the party entitled to designate an Early Termination Date pursuant to Section 6(b) of the Agreement.

If, at any time following the occurrence of any Non-US Merger Transaction (other than the Permitted Tornier Merger Transaction), Dealer determines in good faith that (x) such Non-US Merger Transaction has had an adverse effect on Dealer’s rights and obligations under the Transaction or (y) Dealer would incur an increased amount of tax, duty, expense or fee to (1) acquire, establish, re-establish, substitute, maintain, unwind or dispose of any transaction(s) or asset(s) it deems necessary to hedge the economic risk of entering into and performing its obligations with respect to the Transaction, or (2) realize, recover or remit the proceeds of any such transaction(s) or asset(s) (each of the events described in clause (x) and clause (y) above, a “ Non-US Merger Event ”), then, in either case, Dealer shall give notice to Counterparty of such Non-US Merger Event. Concurrently with delivering such notice, Dealer shall give notice to Counterparty of a Price Adjustment that Dealer reasonably and in good faith determines appropriate to account for the economic effect on the Transaction of such Non-US Merger Event (unless Dealer determines that no Price Adjustment will produce a commercially reasonably result, in which case Dealer shall so notify Counterparty). Unless Dealer determines in good faith that no Price Adjustment will produce a commercially reasonably result, within one Scheduled Trading Day of receipt of such notice, Counterparty shall notify Dealer that it elects to (A) agree to amend the Transaction to take into account such Price Adjustment or (B) pay Dealer the amount determined by Dealer that corresponds to such Price Adjustment (and, in each case, Counterparty shall repeat the representation set forth in Section 8(f) of this Confirmation (which representation is confirmed to Dealer in writing by Issuer, if other than Counterparty) as of the date of such election). If Counterparty fails to give such notice to Dealer of its election in


accordance with the foregoing by the end of that first Scheduled Trading Day, or if Dealer determines that no Price Adjustment will produce a commercially reasonably result, then such failure or such determination, as the case may be, shall constitute an Additional Termination Event applicable to the Transaction (it being understood that in the case of a Non-US Merger Event solely pursuant to clause (x) of the definition thereof, such determination shall constitute an Additional Termination Event only if the relevant adverse effect may have a material impact on Dealer’s rights and obligations under the Transaction, as determined by Dealer in good faith) and, with respect to such Additional Termination Event, (1) Counterparty shall be deemed to be the sole Affected Party, (2) the Transaction shall be the sole Affected Transaction and (3) Dealer shall be the party entitled to designate an Early Termination Date pursuant to Section 6(b) of the Agreement.

For the avoidance of doubt, the parties hereto agree and acknowledge that (I) the occurrence of an Non-US Merger Event shall not preclude the occurrence of one or more additional, subsequent Non-US Merger Events and (II) if a Non-US Merger Event occurs, Dealer will determine, in its sole discretion, whether to exercise its rights under the provisions of this Section 9(v) and/or the rights and remedies of Dealer and its affiliates under any other provision of this Confirmation, the Equity Definitions and the Agreement.

 

  (w) Tax Forms . Counterparty shall provide to Dealer a valid U.S. Internal Revenue Service (“ IRS ”) Form W-9 on or before the date of execution of this Confirmation and will promptly tender an updated IRS Form W-9 or applicable IRS Form W-8 if the previously tendered IRS Form W-9 becomes incorrect as a result of a change in facts. Dealer shall provide Counterparty a valid IRS Form W-9 or applicable IRS Form W-8 on or before the date of execution of this Confirmation and will promptly tender an updated IRS Form W-9 or applicable IRS Form W-8 if the previously tendered IRS Form W-9 or applicable IRS Form W-8 becomes incorrect as a result of a change in facts.

 

  (x) Certain Withholding Taxes . “Indemnifiable Tax” as defined in Section 14 of the Agreement shall not include any (i) tax imposed on payments treated as dividends from sources within the United States under Section 871(m) of the Code or any regulations or official guidance issued thereunder (an “871(m) Withholding Tax”) or (ii) tax imposed or collected pursuant to Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code, any current or future regulations or official interpretations thereof, any agreement entered into pursuant to Section 1471(b) of the Code, or any fiscal or regulatory legislation, rules or practices adopted pursuant to any intergovernmental agreement entered into in connection with the implementation of such Sections of the Code (a “FATCA Withholding Tax”). For the avoidance of doubt, an 871(m) Withholding Tax or a FATCA Withholding Tax is a Tax the deduction or withholding of which is required by applicable law for the purposes of Section 2(d) of the Agreement.

In the event of any inconsistency between the terms defined in the Offering Memorandum, the Indenture and this Confirmation, this Confirmation shall govern. The parties acknowledge that this Confirmation is entered into on the date hereof with the understanding that (i) definitions set forth in the Indenture which are also defined herein by reference to the Indenture and (ii) sections of the Indenture that are referred to herein will conform to the descriptions thereof in the Offering Memorandum. If any such definitions in the Indenture or any such sections of the Indenture differ from the descriptions thereof in the Offering Memorandum, the descriptions thereof in the Offering Memorandum will govern for purposes of this Confirmation. The parties further acknowledge that the Indenture section numbers used herein are based on the draft of the Indenture last reviewed by Dealer as of the date of this Confirmation, and if any such section numbers are changed in the Indenture as executed, the parties will amend this Confirmation in good faith to preserve the intent of the parties. Subject to the foregoing, references to the Indenture herein are references to the Indenture as in effect on the date of its execution, and if the Indenture is amended following such date, any such amendment will be disregarded for purposes of this Confirmation unless the parties agree otherwise in writing.

Each party is hereby advised, and each such party acknowledges, that the other party has engaged in, or refrained from engaging in, substantial financial transactions and has taken other material actions in reliance upon the parties’ entry into the Transaction to which this Confirmation relates on the terms and conditions set forth below.

 

1. This Confirmation evidences a complete and binding agreement between Dealer and Counterparty as to the terms of the Transaction to which this Confirmation relates. This Confirmation shall supplement, form a part of, and be subject to an agreement in the form of the 2002 ISDA Master Agreement (the “ Agreement ”) as if Dealer and Counterparty had executed an agreement in such form (but without any Schedule except for (i) the election of US Dollars (“USD”) as the Termination Currency, and (ii) the election of the laws of the State of New York as the governing law (without reference to choice of law doctrine)) on the Trade Date. In the event of any inconsistency between provisions of the Agreement and this Confirmation, this Confirmation will prevail for the purpose of the Transaction to which this Confirmation relates. The parties hereby agree that no transaction other than the Transaction to which this Confirmation relates shall be governed by the Agreement. The parties acknowledge that the Transaction to which this Confirmation relates is not governed by, and shall not be treated as a transaction under, any other ISDA Master Agreement entered into between the parties from time to time.

Notwithstanding the foregoing and “Consequence of Merger Events / Tender Offers” below, if the Calculation Agent in good faith disagrees with any adjustment to the Convertible Notes that involves an exercise of discretion by Counterparty, Issuer or its board of directors, as applicable (including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 14.05 of the Indenture, Section 14.07(a) of the Indenture or any supplemental indenture entered into thereunder or in connection with any proportional adjustment or the determination of the fair value of any securities, property, rights or other assets), then in


   each such case, the Calculation Agent will determine the adjustment to be made to any one or more of the Strike Price, Number of Options, Option Entitlement and any other variable relevant to the exercise, settlement or payment for the Transaction in a commercially reasonable manner, after consultation with Counterparty; provided , further , that, notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Potential Adjustment Event occurs during the Settlement Averaging Period but no adjustment was made to any Convertible Note under the Indenture because the relevant Holder (as such term is defined in the Indenture) was deemed to be a record owner of the underlying Shares on the related Conversion Date, then the Calculation Agent shall make an adjustment, as determined by it in a commercially reasonable manner, after consultation with Counterparty, to the terms hereof in order to account for such Potential Adjustment Event.

Consequence of Merger Events / Tender Offers:

   Notwithstanding Section 12.2 and Section 12.3 of the Equity Definitions, upon the occurrence of a Merger Event or a Tender Offer, and to the extent the Calculation Agent determines appropriate, the Calculation Agent shall make a corresponding

be the Issuer or a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Issuer following such Merger Event or Tender Offer, then Cancellation and Payment (Calculation Agent Determination) may apply at Dealer’s sole election, except that Cancellation and Payment will not apply if (1) such Merger Event constitutes the “Permitted Tornier Merger Transaction” (as defined in the Indenture), (2) Issuer following such Merger Event is a Dutch public limited company or an entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes organized and existing under the laws of the Netherlands and (3) Counterparty following such Merger Event is a corporation organized under the laws of the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia that is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Issuer following such Merger Event.

Counterparty hereby further represents and warrants to Dealer on the date hereof and on and as of the Premium Payment Date that:

 

  (a) Counterparty has all necessary corporate power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations in respect of the Transaction; such execution, delivery and performance have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on Counterparty’s part; and this Confirmation has been duly and validly executed and delivered by Counterparty and constitutes its valid and binding obligation, enforceable against Counterparty in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights and remedies generally, and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity, including principles of commercial reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding at law or in equity) and except that rights to indemnification and contribution hereunder may be limited by federal or state securities laws or public policy relating thereto.

 

  (b) Neither the execution and delivery of this Confirmation nor the incurrence or performance of obligations of Counterparty hereunder will conflict with or result in a breach of the certificate of incorporation or by-laws (or any equivalent documents) of Counterparty, or any applicable law or regulation, or any order, writ, injunction or decree of any court or governmental authority or agency, or any agreement or instrument to which Counterparty or any of its subsidiaries is a party or by which Counterparty or any of its subsidiaries is bound or to which Counterparty or any of its subsidiaries is subject, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation of any lien under, any such agreement or instrument.


  (c) No consent, approval, authorization, or order of, or filing with, any governmental agency or body or any court is required in connection with the execution, delivery or performance by Counterparty of this Confirmation, except such as have been obtained or made and such as may be required under the Securities Act or state securities laws.

  (e) Counterparty is an “eligible contract participant” (as such term is defined in Section 1a(18) of the Commodity Exchange Act, as amended, other than a person that is an eligible contract participant under Section 1a(18)(C) of the Commodity Exchange Act).

 

  (f) Each of it and its affiliates is not, on the date hereof, in possession of any material non-public information with respect to Issuer or the Shares.

 

  (g) No state or local (including any non-U.S. jurisdiction’s) law, rule, regulation or regulatory order applicable to the Shares would give rise to any reporting, consent, registration or other requirement (including without limitation a requirement to obtain prior approval from any person or entity) as a result of Dealer or its affiliates owning or holding (however defined) Shares.

 

  (h) Counterparty (A) is capable of evaluating investment risks independently, both in general and with regard to all transactions and investment strategies involving a security or securities; (B) will exercise independent judgment in evaluating the recommendations of any broker-dealer or its associated persons, unless it has otherwise notified the broker-dealer in writing; and (C) has total assets of at least $50 million.

 

9. Other Provisions .

 

  (a)

Opinions . In connection with the entry into or consummation of any Non-US Merger Transaction (as defined below) (other than the Permitted Tornier Merger Transaction), Counterparty shall deliver to Dealer an opinion of counsel (subject to customary qualifications, assumptions and exceptions), dated as of the date of such Non-US Merger Transaction, with respect to the matters set forth in Sections 8(a), 8(b) and 8(c) of this Confirmation (as if references therein to (i) “execute, deliver” were replaced with “assume”, (ii) “execution, delivery” and “execution and delivery” were replaced with “assumption” and (iii) “executed and delivered” were replaced with “assumed”). “ Non-US Merger Transaction ” means any Merger Event, reincorporation of Issuer, corporate inversion of Issuer or similar transaction pursuant to which (x) the consideration for the Shares includes (or, at


  the option of a holder of Shares, may include) shares of an entity or person that is not a corporation or is not organized under the laws of the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia or (y) the Issuer following such Merger Event, reincorporation of Issuer or corporate inversion of Issuer is organized in a jurisdiction other than the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia.

 

  (b)

Repurchase Notices . Counterparty shall, on any day on which Issuer effects any repurchase of Shares, promptly give Dealer a written notice of such repurchase (a “ Repurchase Notice ”) on such day if following such repurchase, the number of outstanding Shares as determined on such day is (i) less than 48,074,186 (in the case of the first such notice) or (ii) thereafter more than 2,663,694 less than the number of Shares included in the immediately preceding Repurchase Notice. Counterparty agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Dealer and its affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, affiliates, advisors, agents and controlling persons (each, an “ Indemnified Person ”) from and against any and all losses (including losses relating to Dealer’s hedging activities as a consequence of becoming, or of the risk of becoming, a Section 16 “insider”, including without limitation, any forbearance from hedging activities or cessation of hedging activities and any losses in connection therewith with respect to the Transaction), claims, damages, judgments, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees), joint or several, which an Indemnified Person may become subject to, as a result of Counterparty’s failure to provide Dealer with a Repurchase Notice on the day and in the manner specified in this paragraph, and to reimburse, within 30 days, upon written request, each of such Indemnified Persons for any reasonable legal or other expenses incurred in connection with investigating, preparing for, providing testimony or other evidence in connection with or defending any of the foregoing. If any suit, action, proceeding (including any governmental or regulatory investigation), claim or demand shall be brought or asserted against the Indemnified Person as a result of Counterparty’s failure to provide Dealer with a Repurchase Notice in accordance with this paragraph, such Indemnified Person shall promptly notify Counterparty in writing, and Counterparty, upon request of the Indemnified Person, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person to represent the Indemnified Person and any others Counterparty may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel related to such proceeding. Counterparty shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding contemplated by this paragraph that is effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, Counterparty agrees to indemnify any Indemnified Person from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Counterparty shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Person, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding contemplated by this paragraph that is in respect of which any Indemnified Person is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding on terms


  reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person. If the indemnification provided for in this paragraph is unavailable to an Indemnified Person or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then Counterparty hereunder, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Person thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Person as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities. The remedies provided for in this paragraph (b) are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any Indemnified Person at law or in equity. The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this paragraph shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the termination of the Transaction.

 

  (c) Regulation M . Counterparty is not on the Trade Date engaged in a distribution, as such term is used in Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “ Exchange Act ”), of any securities of Counterparty, other than a distribution meeting the requirements of the exception set forth in Rules 101(b)(10) and 102(b)(7) of Regulation M. Counterparty shall not, until the second Scheduled Trading Day immediately following the Effective Date, engage in any such distribution.

 

  (d) No Manipulation . Counterparty is not entering into the Transaction to create actual or apparent trading activity in the Shares (or any security convertible into or exchangeable for the Shares) or to raise or depress or otherwise manipulate the price of the Shares (or any security convertible into or exchangeable for the Shares) or otherwise in violation of the Exchange Act.

 

  (e) Transfer or Assignment .

 

  (i) Counterparty shall have the right to transfer or assign its rights and obligations hereunder with respect to all, but not less than all, of the Options hereunder (such Options, the “ Transfer Options ”); provided that such transfer or assignment shall be subject to reasonable conditions that Dealer may impose, including but not limited, to the following conditions:

 

  (A) With respect to any Transfer Options, Counterparty shall not be released from its notice and indemnification obligations pursuant to Section 9(b) or any obligations under Section 9(m) or 9(q) of this Confirmation;

 

  (B) Any Transfer Options shall only be transferred or assigned to a third party that is a United States person (as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code);

 

  (C)

Such transfer or assignment shall be effected on terms, including any reasonable undertakings by such third party (including, but not limited to, an undertaking with respect to compliance with applicable securities laws in a manner that, in the reasonable


  judgment of Dealer, will not expose Dealer to material risks under applicable securities laws) and execution of any documentation and delivery of legal opinions with respect to securities laws and other matters by such third party and Counterparty, as are requested and reasonably satisfactory to Dealer;

 

  (D) Dealer will not, as a result of such transfer and assignment, be required to pay the transferee on any payment date an amount under Section 2(d)(i)(4) of the Agreement greater than an amount that Dealer would have been required to pay to Counterparty in the absence of such transfer and assignment;

 

  (E) An Event of Default, Potential Event of Default or Termination Event will not occur as a result of such transfer and assignment;

 

  (F) Without limiting the generality of clause (B), Counterparty shall cause the transferee to make such Payee Tax Representations and to provide such tax documentation as may be reasonably requested by Dealer to permit Dealer to determine that results described in clauses (D) and (E) will not occur upon or after such transfer and assignment; and

 

  (G) Counterparty shall be responsible for all reasonable costs and expenses, including reasonable counsel fees, incurred by Dealer in connection with such transfer or assignment;

and, for the avoidance of doubt, without limitation of any other provision hereof, the consummation of the Permitted Tornier Merger Transaction (as defined in the Indenture) shall not be deemed to be a transfer or assignment of the Company’s rights and obligations under the Transaction.

 

  (ii)

Dealer may, without Counterparty’s consent, transfer or assign all or any part of its rights or obligations under the Transaction (A) to any affiliate of Dealer (1) that has a rating for its long term, unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness that is equal to or better than Dealer’s credit rating at the time of such transfer or assignment, or (2) whose obligations hereunder will be guaranteed, pursuant to the terms of a customary guarantee in a form used by Dealer generally for similar transactions, by Dealer, or (B) to any other third party with a rating for its long term, unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness equal to or better than the lesser of (1) the credit rating of Dealer at the time of the transfer and (2) A- by Standard and Poor’s Rating Group, Inc. or its successor (“ S&P ”), or A3 by Moody’s Investor Service, Inc. (“ Moody’s ”) or, if either S&P or Moody’s ceases to rate such debt, at least an equivalent rating or better by a substitute rating agency mutually agreed by Counterparty and Dealer. If at any time at which (A) the Section 16 Percentage exceeds 7.5%, (B) the


  Option Equity Percentage exceeds 14.5%, or (C) the Share Amount exceeds the Applicable Share Limit (if any applies) (any such condition described in clauses (A), (B) or (C), an “ Excess Ownership Position ”), Dealer is unable after using its good faith and commercially reasonable efforts to effect a transfer or assignment of Options to a third party on pricing terms reasonably acceptable to Dealer and within a time period reasonably acceptable to Dealer such that no Excess Ownership Position exists, then Dealer may designate any Exchange Business Day as an Early Termination Date with respect to a portion of the Transaction (the “ Terminated Portion ”), such that following such partial termination no Excess Ownership Position exists. In the event that Dealer so designates an Early Termination Date with respect to a portion of the Transaction, a payment shall be made pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement as if (1) an Early Termination Date had been designated in respect of a Transaction having terms identical to the Transaction and a Number of Options equal to the number of Options underlying the Terminated Portion, (2) Counterparty were the sole Affected Party with respect to such partial termination and (3) the Terminated Portion were the sole Affected Transaction (and, for the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of Section 9(k) shall apply to any amount that is payable by Dealer to Counterparty pursuant to this sentence as if Counterparty was not the Affected Party). The “ Section 16 Percentage ” as of any day is the fraction, expressed as a percentage, (A) the numerator of which is the number of Shares that Dealer and each person subject to aggregation of Shares with Dealer under Section 13 or Section 16 of the Exchange Act and rules promulgated thereunder directly or indirectly beneficially own (as defined under Section 13 or Section 16 of the Exchange Act and rules promulgated thereunder) and (B) the denominator of which is the number of Shares outstanding. The “ Option Equity Percentage ” as of any day is the fraction, expressed as a percentage, (A) the numerator of which is the sum of (1) the product of the Number of Options and the Option Entitlement and (2) the aggregate number of Shares underlying any other call option transaction sold by Dealer to Counterparty or Issuer, as applicable, and (B) the denominator of which is the number of Shares outstanding. The “ Share Amount ” as of any day is the number of Shares that Dealer and any person whose ownership position would be aggregated with that of Dealer (Dealer or any such person, a “ Dealer Person ”) under any law, rule, regulation, regulatory order or organizational documents or contracts of Issuer that are, in each case, applicable to ownership of Shares (“ Applicable Restrictions ”), owns, beneficially owns, constructively owns, controls, holds the power to vote or otherwise meets a relevant definition of ownership under any Applicable Restriction, as determined by Dealer in its reasonable discretion. The “ Applicable Share Limit ” means a number of Shares equal to (A) the minimum number of Shares that could give rise to reporting or registration obligations or other requirements (including obtaining prior approval from any person or


  entity) of a Dealer Person, or could result in an adverse effect on a Dealer Person, under any Applicable Restriction, as determined by Dealer in its reasonable discretion, minus (B) 1% of the number of Shares outstanding.

 

  (iii) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Confirmation to the contrary requiring or allowing Dealer to purchase, sell, receive or deliver any Shares or other securities, or make or receive any payment in cash, to or from Counterparty, Dealer may designate any of its affiliates to purchase, sell, receive or deliver such Shares or other securities, or to make or receive such payment in cash, and otherwise to perform Dealer’s obligations in respect of the Transaction and any such designee may assume such obligations. Dealer shall be discharged of its obligations to Counterparty to the extent of any such performance.

 

  (f) Ratings Decline . If at any time the long term, unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of Dealer is rated Ba1 or lower by Moody’s or BB+ or lower by S&P (any such rating, a “ Ratings Downgrade ”), then Counterparty may, at any time following the occurrence and during the continuation of such Ratings Downgrade, provide written notice to Dealer specifying that it elects for this Section 9(f) to apply (a “ Trigger Notice ”). Upon receipt by Dealer of a Trigger Notice from Counterparty, Dealer shall promptly elect that either (i) the parties shall negotiate in good faith terms for collateral arrangements pursuant to which Dealer is required to provide collateral (including, but not limited to, equity or equity-linked securities issued by Counterparty or Issuer, as applicable) to Counterparty in respect of the Transaction with a value equal to the full mark-to-market exposure of Counterparty under the Transaction, as determined by Dealer in a good faith commercially reasonable manner, or (ii) an Additional Termination Event shall occur and, with respect to such Additional Termination Event, (A) Counterparty shall be deemed to be the sole Affected Party, and (B) the Transaction shall be the sole Affected Transaction.

 

  (g) [Reserved . ]

 

  (h) Additional Termination Events .

 

  (i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Confirmation if an event of default occurs under the terms of the Convertible Notes as set forth in Section 6.01 of the Indenture, then such event of default shall constitute an Additional Termination Event applicable to the Transaction and, with respect to such Additional Termination Event, (A) Counterparty shall be deemed to be the sole Affected Party, (B) the Transaction shall be the sole Affected Transaction and (C) Dealer shall be the party entitled to designate an Early Termination Date pursuant to Section 6(b) of the Agreement.


  (i) Amendments to the Equity Definitions .

 

  (i) Section 12.6(a)(ii) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended by (1) deleting from the fourth line thereof the word “or” after the word “official” and inserting a comma therefor, and (2) deleting the semi-colon at the end of subsection (B) thereof and inserting the following words therefor “or (C) at Dealer’s option, the occurrence of any of the events specified in Section 5(a)(vii)(1) through (9) of the ISDA Master Agreement with respect to that Issuer.”

 

  (ii) Section 12.9(b)(i) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended by (1) replacing “either party may elect” with “Dealer may elect” and (2) replacing “notice to the other party” with “notice to Counterparty” in the first sentence of such section.

 

  (j) Setoff . Obligations under the Transaction shall not be set off by either party against any other obligations of the parties, whether arising under the Agreement, this Confirmation, under any other agreement between the parties hereto, by operation of law or otherwise. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event of bankruptcy or liquidation of either Counterparty or Dealer neither party shall have the right to set off any obligation that it may have to the other party under the Transaction against any obligation such other party may have to it, whether arising under the Agreement, this Confirmation or any other agreement between the parties hereto, by operation of law or otherwise.

 

  (k) Alternative Calculations and Payment on Early Termination and on Certain Extraordinary Events . If in respect of the Transaction, an amount is payable by Dealer to Counterparty (i) pursuant to Section 12.7 or Section 12.9 of the Equity Definitions or (ii) pursuant to Section 6(d)(ii) of the Agreement (any such amount, a “ Payment Obligation ”), Dealer shall satisfy the Payment Obligation by the Share Termination Alternative (as defined below), unless (a) Counterparty gives irrevocable telephonic notice to Dealer, confirmed in writing within one Scheduled Trading Day, no later than 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Merger Date, the Tender Offer Date, the Announcement Date (in the case of Nationalization, Insolvency or Delisting), the Early Termination Date or date of cancellation, as applicable, of its election that the Share Termination Alternative shall not apply, (b) Counterparty remakes (which representation is confirmed to Dealer in writing by Issuer, if other than Counterparty) the representation set forth in Section 8(f) as of the date of such election and (c) Dealer agrees, in its reasonable discretion, to such election, in which case the provisions of Section 12.7 or Section 12.9 of the Equity Definitions, or the provisions of Section 6(d)(ii) of the Agreement, as the case may be, shall apply.

 

Share Termination Alternative:    If applicable, Dealer shall deliver to Counterparty the Share Termination Delivery Property on, or within a commercially reasonable period of time    


   after, the date when the relevant Payment Obligation would otherwise be due pursuant to Section 12.7 or 12.9 of the Equity Definitions or Section 6(d) (ii) and 6(e) of the Agreement, as applicable (the “ Share Termination Payment Date ”), in satisfaction of such Payment Obligation in the manner reasonably requested by Counterparty free of payment.
Share Termination Delivery Property:    A number of Share Termination Delivery Units, as calculated by the Calculation Agent, equal to the Payment Obligation divided by the Share Termination Unit Price. The Calculation Agent shall adjust the Share Termination Delivery Property by replacing any fractional portion of a security therein with an amount of cash equal to the value of such fractional security based on the values used to calculate the Share Termination Unit Price.
Share Termination Unit Price:    The value to Dealer of property contained in one Share Termination Delivery Unit, as determined by the Calculation Agent in its discretion by commercially reasonable means and notified by the Calculation Agent to Dealer at the time of notification of the Payment Obligation. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties agree that in determining the Share Termination Delivery Unit Price the Calculation Agent may consider, if commercially reasonable, the purchase price paid in connection with the purchase of Share Termination Delivery Property.
Share Termination Delivery Unit:    One Share or, if the Shares have changed into cash or any other property or the right to receive cash or any other property as the result of a Nationalization, Insolvency or Merger Event (any such cash or other property, the “ Exchange Property ”), a unit consisting of the type and amount of such Exchange Property received by a holder of one Share (without consideration of any requirement to pay cash or other


   consideration in lieu of fractional amounts of any securities) in such Nationalization, Insolvency or Merger Event, as determined by the Calculation Agent.
Failure to Deliver:    Applicable
Other applicable provisions:    If Share Termination Alternative is applicable, the provisions of Sections 9.8, 9.9 and 9.11 (as modified above) of the Equity Definitions and the provisions set forth opposite the caption “Representation and Agreement” in Section 2 will be applicable, except that all references in such provisions to “Physically-settled” shall be read as references to “Share Termination Settled” and all references to “Shares” shall be read as references to “Share Termination Delivery Units”. “Share Termination Settled” in relation to the Transaction means that the Share Termination Alternative is applicable to the Transaction.

 

  (l) Waiver of Jury Trial . Each party waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any right it may have to a trial by jury in respect of any suit, action or proceeding relating to the Transaction. Each party (i) certifies that no representative, agent or attorney of either party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other party would not, in the event of such a suit, action or proceeding, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver and (ii) acknowledges that it and the other party have been induced to enter into the Transaction, as applicable, by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications provided herein.

 

  (m)

Registration . Counterparty hereby agrees that if, in the good faith reasonable judgment of Dealer, the Shares (“ Hedge Shares ”) acquired by Dealer for the purpose of hedging its obligations pursuant to the Transaction cannot be sold in the public market by Dealer without registration under the Securities Act, Counterparty shall (or shall cause Issuer to), at its election, either (i) in order to allow Dealer to sell the Hedge Shares in a registered offering, make available to Dealer an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and enter into an agreement, in form and substance satisfactory to Dealer, substantially in the form of an underwriting agreement for a registered secondary offering; provided , however , that if Dealer, in its sole reasonable discretion, is not satisfied with access to due diligence materials, the results of its due diligence investigation, or the procedures and documentation for the registered offering referred to above, then clause (ii) or clause (iii) of this paragraph shall apply at the election of Counterparty, (ii) in order to allow Dealer to sell the Hedge Shares in a private placement, enter into a private placement agreement substantially similar to


  private placement purchase agreements customary for private placements of equity securities, in form and substance satisfactory to Dealer (in which case, the Calculation Agent shall make any adjustments to the terms of the Transaction that are necessary, in its reasonable judgment, to compensate Dealer for any discount from the public market price of the Shares incurred on the sale of Hedge Shares in a private placement), or (iii) purchase the Hedge Shares from Dealer at the Relevant Price on such Exchange Business Days, and in the amounts, requested by Dealer.

 

  (n) Tax Disclosure . Effective from the date of commencement of discussions concerning the Transaction, Counterparty and each of its employees, representatives, or other agents may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of the Transaction and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to Counterparty relating to such tax treatment and tax structure.

 

  (o) Right to Extend . Dealer may postpone or add, in whole or in part, any Valid Day or Valid Days during the Settlement Averaging Period or any other date of valuation, payment or delivery by Dealer, with respect to some or all of the Options hereunder, if Dealer reasonably and in good faith determines, based on the advice of counsel in the case of the immediately following clause (ii), that such action is reasonably necessary or appropriate (i) to preserve Dealer’s commercially reasonable hedging or hedge unwind activity hereunder in light of existing liquidity conditions or (ii) to enable Dealer to effect transactions with respect to Shares in connection with its commercially reasonable hedging, hedge unwind or settlement activity hereunder in a manner that would, if Dealer were Issuer or an affiliated purchaser of Issuer, be in compliance with applicable legal, regulatory or self-regulatory requirements, or with related policies and procedures applicable to Dealer.

 

  (p) Securities Contract; Swap Agreement . The parties hereto intend for (i) the Transaction to be a “securities contract” and a “swap agreement” as defined in the Bankruptcy Code (Title 11 of the United States Code) (the “ Bankruptcy Code ”), and the parties hereto to be entitled to the protections afforded by, among other Sections, Sections 362(b)(6), 362(b)(17), 546(e), 546(g), 555 and 560 of the Bankruptcy Code, (ii) a party’s right to liquidate the Transaction and to exercise any other remedies upon the occurrence of any Event of Default under the Agreement with respect to the other party to constitute a “contractual right” as described in the Bankruptcy Code, and (iii) each payment and delivery of cash, securities or other property hereunder to constitute a “margin payment” or “settlement payment” and a “transfer” as defined in the Bankruptcy Code.

 

  (q) Notice of Certain Other Events . Counterparty covenants and agrees that:

 

  (i)

promptly following the public announcement of the results of any election by the holders of Shares with respect to the consideration due upon consummation of any Merger Event, Counterparty shall give Dealer


  written notice of the types and amounts of consideration that holders of Shares have elected to receive upon consummation of such Merger Event (the date of such notification, the “ Consideration Notification Date ”); provided that in no event shall the Consideration Notification Date be later than the date on which such Merger Event is consummated;

 

  (ii) promptly following any adjustment to the Convertible Notes in connection with any Potential Adjustment Event, Merger Event or Tender Offer, Counterparty shall give Dealer written notice of the details of such adjustment; and

 

  (iii) promptly following the public announcement of any change to the pending merger transaction between Counterparty and Tornier N.V.

In connection with Section 739 of the Wall Street Transparency and Accountability Act of 2010 (“ WSTAA ”), the parties hereby agree that neither the enactment of WSTAA or any regulation under the WSTAA, nor any requirement under WSTAA or an amendment made by WSTAA, shall limit or otherwise impair either party’s otherwise applicable rights to terminate, renegotiate, modify, amend or supplement this Confirmation or the Agreement, as applicable, arising from a termination event, force majeure, illegality, increased costs, regulatory change or similar event under this Confirmation, the Equity Definitions incorporated herein, or the Agreement (including, but not limited to, rights arising from Change in Law, Hedging Disruption, Increased Cost of Hedging, an Excess Ownership Position, or Illegality (as defined in the Agreement)).

 

  (s) Agreements and Acknowledgements Regarding Hedging . Counterparty understands, acknowledges and agrees that: (A) at any time on and prior to the Expiration Date, Dealer and its affiliates may buy or sell Shares or other securities or buy or sell options or futures contracts or enter into swaps or other derivative securities in order to adjust its hedge position with respect to the Transaction; (B) Dealer and its affiliates also may be active in the market for Shares other than in connection with hedging activities in relation to the Transaction; (C) Dealer shall make its own determination as to whether, when or in what manner any hedging or market activities in securities of Issuer shall be conducted and shall do so in a manner that it deems appropriate to hedge its price and market risk with respect to the Relevant Prices; and (D) any market activities of Dealer and its affiliates with respect to Shares may affect the market price and volatility of Shares, as well as the Relevant Prices, each in a manner that may be adverse to Counterparty.


  (t) Early Unwind . In the event the sale of the “Underwritten Securities” (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) is not consummated with the Initial Purchasers for any reason by 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Premium Payment Date, or such later date as agreed upon by the parties (the Premium Payment Date or such later date, the “ Early Unwind Date ”), the Transaction shall automatically terminate (the “ Early Unwind ”) on the Early Unwind Date and (i) the Transaction and all of the respective rights and obligations of Dealer and Counterparty under the Transaction shall be cancelled and terminated and (ii) each party shall be released and discharged by the other party from and agrees not to make any claim against the other party with respect to any obligations or liabilities of the other party arising out of and to be performed as Hedging Positions in respect of this Transaction either prior to or after the Early Unwind Date.

  (u) Designation of Dealer . Notwithstanding any other provision in this Confirmation to the contrary requiring or allowing Dealer to purchase, sell, receive or deliver any Shares or other securities to or from Issuer, Dealer may designate any of its affiliates to purchase, sell, receive or deliver such Shares or other securities and otherwise to perform Dealer obligations in respect of the Transaction and any such designee may assume such obligations. Dealer shall be discharged of its obligations to Counterparty to the extent of any such performance.

 

  (v) Non-US Merger Transactions. Issuer shall not enter into or consummate any Non-US Merger Transaction (other than the Permitted Tornier Merger Transaction) unless the successor Issuer immediately following such Non-US Merger Transaction repeats to Dealer immediately following such Non-US Merger Transaction the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 8(a), 8(b), 8(c) and 8(d) of this Confirmation (as if references therein to (i) “execute, deliver” were replaced with “assume”, (ii) “execution, delivery” and “execution and delivery” were replaced with “assumption” and (iii) “executed and delivered” were replaced with “assumed”).

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Confirmation if (a) at or prior to the Tornier Merger Transaction, (1) Issuer enters into or consummates any Non-US Merger Transaction pursuant to which Issuer following such Non-US Merger Transaction is not a corporation organized under the laws of the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia (or, solely in the case of the Tornier Merger Transaction, not a Dutch public limited company or an entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes organized and existing under the laws of the Netherlands), or (2) Counterparty ceases to be a corporation organized under the laws of the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia that is Issuer or a wholly-owned subsidiary of Issuer, or (3) Issuer enters into or consummates any Non-US Merger Transaction and does not comply with the requirements of the immediately previous paragraph of this Section 9(v), or (b)


after the Tornier Merger Transaction, (1) Issuer enters into or consummates any Non-US Merger Transaction pursuant to which Issuer following such Non-US Merger Transaction is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than the Islands of Bermuda, the Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland, Luxembourg, the Republic of Ireland, Canada or the United Kingdom, (2) Counterparty ceases to be a corporation organized under the laws of the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia that is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Issuer, or (3) Issuer enters into or consummates any Non-US Merger Transaction and does not comply with the requirements of the immediately previous paragraph of this Section 9(v), then, in any such case of clauses (a) and (b), such transaction or event shall constitute an Additional Termination Event applicable to the Transaction and, with respect to such Additional Termination Event, (A) Counterparty shall be deemed to be the sole Affected Party, (B) the Transaction shall be the sole Affected Transaction and (C) Dealer shall be the party entitled to designate an Early Termination Date pursuant to Section 6(b) of the Agreement.

If, at any time following the occurrence of any Non-US Merger Transaction (other than the Permitted Tornier Merger Transaction), Dealer determines in good faith that (x) such Non-US Merger Transaction has had an adverse effect on Dealer’s rights and obligations under the Transaction or (y) Dealer would incur an increased amount of tax, duty, expense or fee to (1) acquire, establish, re-establish, substitute, maintain, unwind or dispose of any transaction(s) or asset(s) it deems necessary to hedge the economic risk of entering into and performing its obligations with respect to the Transaction, or (2) realize, recover or remit the proceeds of any such transaction(s) or asset(s) (each of the events described in clause (x) and clause (y) above, a “ Non-US Merger Event ”), then, in either case, Dealer shall give notice to Counterparty of such Non-US Merger Event. Concurrently with delivering such notice, Dealer shall give notice to Counterparty of a Price Adjustment that Dealer reasonably and in good faith determines appropriate to account for the economic effect on the Transaction of such Non-US Merger Event (unless Dealer determines that no Price Adjustment will produce a commercially reasonably result, in which case Dealer shall so notify Counterparty). Unless Dealer determines in good faith that no Price Adjustment will produce a commercially reasonably result, within one Scheduled Trading Day of receipt of such notice, Counterparty shall notify Dealer that it elects to (A) agree to amend the Transaction to take into account such Price Adjustment or (B) pay Dealer the amount determined by Dealer that corresponds to such Price Adjustment (and, in each case, Counterparty shall repeat the representation set forth in Section 8(f) of this Confirmation (which representation is confirmed to Dealer in writing by Issuer, if other than Counterparty) as of the date of such election). If Counterparty fails to give such notice to Dealer of its election in accordance with the foregoing by the end of that first Scheduled Trading Day, or if Dealer determines that no Price Adjustment will produce a commercially reasonably result, then such failure or such determination, as the case may be, shall constitute an Additional Termination Event applicable to the Transaction (it being understood that in the case of a Non-US Merger Event solely pursuant to clause (x) of the definition thereof, such determination shall constitute an


Additional Termination Event only if the relevant adverse effect may have a material impact on Dealer’s rights and obligations under the Transaction, as determined by Dealer in good faith) and, with respect to such Additional Termination Event, (1) Counterparty shall be deemed to be the sole Affected Party, (2) the Transaction shall be the sole Affected Transaction and (3) Dealer shall be the party entitled to designate an Early Termination Date pursuant to Section 6(b) of the Agreement.

For the avoidance of doubt, the parties hereto agree and acknowledge that (I) the occurrence of an Non-US Merger Event shall not preclude the occurrence of one or more additional, subsequent Non-US Merger Events and (II) if a Non-US Merger Event occurs, Dealer will determine, in its sole discretion, whether to exercise its rights under the provisions of this Section 9(v) and/or the rights and remedies of Dealer and its affiliates under any other provision of this Confirmation, the Equity Definitions and the Agreement.

 

  (w) Tax Forms . Counterparty shall provide to Dealer a valid U.S. Internal Revenue Service (“ IRS ”) Form W-9 on or before the date of execution of this Confirmation and will promptly tender an updated IRS Form W-9 or applicable IRS Form W-8 if the previously tendered IRS Form W-9 becomes incorrect as a result of a change in facts. Dealer shall provide Counterparty a valid IRS Form W-9 or applicable IRS Form W-8 on or before the date of execution of this Confirmation and will promptly tender an updated IRS Form W-9 or applicable IRS Form W-8 if the previously tendered IRS Form W-9 or applicable IRS Form W-8 becomes incorrect as a result of a change in facts.

 

  (x) Certain Withholding Taxes . “Indemnifiable Tax” as defined in Section 14 of the Agreement shall not include any (i) tax imposed on payments treated as dividends from sources within the United States under Section 871(m) of the Code or any regulations or official guidance issued thereunder (an “871(m) Withholding Tax”) or (ii) tax imposed or collected pursuant to Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code, any current or future regulations or official interpretations thereof, any agreement entered into pursuant to Section 1471(b) of the Code, or any fiscal or regulatory legislation, rules or practices adopted pursuant to any intergovernmental agreement entered into in connection with the implementation of such Sections of the Code (a “FATCA Withholding Tax”). For the avoidance of doubt, an 871(m) Withholding Tax or a FATCA Withholding Tax is a Tax the deduction or withholding of which is required by applicable law for the purposes of Section 2(d) of the Agreement.

The definitions and provisions contained in the 2002 ISDA Equity Derivatives Definitions (the “ Equity Definitions ”), as published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc.

pursuant to the Purchase Agreement (as defined herein)) pursuant to an Indenture to be dated February 13, 2015 between Counterparty and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee (the “ Indenture ”). In the event of any inconsistency between the terms defined in the Offering Memorandum, the Indenture and this Confirmation, this Confirmation shall govern. The parties acknowledge that this Confirmation is entered into on the date hereof with the understanding that (i) definitions set forth in the Indenture which are also defined herein by reference to the Indenture and (ii) sections of the Indenture that are referred to herein will conform to the descriptions thereof in the Offering Memorandum. If any such definitions in the Indenture or any such sections of the Indenture differ from the descriptions thereof in the Offering Memorandum, the descriptions thereof in the Offering Memorandum will govern for purposes of this Confirmation. The parties further acknowledge that the Indenture section numbers used herein are based on the draft of the Indenture last reviewed by Dealer as of the date of this Confirmation, and if any such section numbers are changed in the Indenture as executed, the parties will amend this Confirmation in good faith to preserve the intent of the parties. Subject to the foregoing, references to the Indenture herein are references to the Indenture as in effect on the date of its execution, and if the Indenture is amended following such date, any such amendment will be disregarded for purposes of this Confirmation unless the parties agree otherwise in writing.

Each party is hereby advised, and each such party acknowledges, that the other party has engaged in, or refrained from engaging in, substantial financial transactions and has taken other material actions in reliance upon the parties’ entry into the Transaction to which this Confirmation relates on the terms and conditions set forth below.

 

1. This Confirmation evidences a complete and binding agreement between Dealer and Counterparty as to the terms of the Transaction to which this Confirmation relates. This Confirmation shall supplement, form a part of, and be subject to an agreement in the form of the 2002 ISDA Master Agreement (the “ Agreement ”) as if Dealer and Counterparty had executed an agreement in such form (but without any Schedule except for (i) the election of US Dollars (“USD”) as the Termination Currency, and (ii) the election of the laws of the State of New York as the governing law (without reference to choice of law doctrine)) on the Trade Date. In the event of any inconsistency between provisions of the Agreement and this Confirmation, this Confirmation will prevail for the purpose of the Transaction to which this Confirmation relates. The parties hereby agree that no transaction other than the Transaction to which this Confirmation relates shall be governed by the Agreement. The parties acknowledge that the Transaction to which this Confirmation relates is not governed by, and shall not be treated as a transaction under, any other ISDA Master Agreement entered into between the parties from time to time.

  Consequence of Merger Events / Tender Offers:   Notwithstanding Section 12.2 and Section 12.3 of the Equity Definitions, upon the occurrence of a Merger Event or a Tender Offer, and to the extent the Calculation Agent determines appropriate, the Calculation Agent shall make a corresponding adjustment in respect of any adjustment under the Indenture to any one or more of the nature of the Shares (in the case of a Merger Event), Strike Price, Number of Options, Option Entitlement, the definitions of “Exchange”, “Relevant Price”, “Settlement Averaging Period”, “Valid Day”, “Scheduled Valid Day”, “Market Disruption Event”, the number of Shares thresholds in Sections 9(b)(i) and 9(b)(ii) of this Confirmation and any other variable relevant to the exercise, settlement or payment for the Transaction, subject to the second paragraph under “Method of Adjustment”; provided , however , that such adjustment shall be made without regard to any adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to any Excluded Provision; provided further that if, with respect to a Merger Event or a Tender Offer, (i) the consideration for the Shares includes (or, at the option of a holder of Shares, may include) shares of an entity or person that is (x) at or prior to the Tornier Merger Transaction, not a corporation or a limited liability company that is treated, or, if disregarded for U.S. federal income tax purposes, its regarded owner is treated, as a “United States person” under Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code or 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or (y) after the Tornier Merger Transaction, not a (1) Dutch public limited company, (2) corporation or limited liability company that is treated, or, if disregarded for U.S. federal income tax purposes, its regarded owner is treated, as a “United States person” under Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (any such corporation or limited liability company being referred to hereinafter as a “U.S. Entity”) or (3) solely in the case of a Non-US Merger Transaction in respect of which Counterparty and Issuer have satisfied all of the requirements set forth in Sections 9(a) and 9(v) below, a corporation or entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes organized and existing under


    the laws of the Islands of Bermuda, the Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland, Luxembourg, the Republic of Ireland, Canada or the United Kingdom), or (ii) the Counterparty to the Transaction following such Merger Event or Tender Offer, will not be a U.S. Entity or will not be the Issuer or a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Issuer following such Merger Event or Tender Offer, then Cancellation and Payment (Calculation Agent Determination) may apply at Dealer’s sole election, except that Cancellation and Payment will not apply if (1) such Merger Event constitutes the “Permitted Tornier Merger Transaction” (as defined in the Indenture), (2) Issuer following such Merger Event is a Dutch public limited company or an entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes organized and existing under the laws of the Netherlands and (3) Counterparty following such Merger Event is a corporation organized under the laws of the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia that is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Issuer following such Merger Event.

Counterparty hereby further represents and warrants to Dealer on the date hereof and on and as of the Premium Payment Date that:

 

  (a)

Counterparty has all necessary corporate power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations in respect of the Transaction; such execution, delivery and performance have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on Counterparty’s part; and this Confirmation has been duly and validly executed and delivered by Counterparty and constitutes its valid and binding obligation, enforceable against Counterparty in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights and remedies generally,


  and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity, including principles of commercial reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding at law or in equity) and except that rights to indemnification and contribution hereunder may be limited by federal or state securities laws or public policy relating thereto.

 

  (b) Neither the execution and delivery of this Confirmation nor the incurrence or performance of obligations of Counterparty hereunder will conflict with or result in a breach of the certificate of incorporation or by-laws (or any equivalent documents) of Counterparty, or any applicable law or regulation, or any order, writ, injunction or decree of any court or governmental authority or agency, or any agreement or instrument to which Counterparty or any of its subsidiaries is a party or by which Counterparty or any of its subsidiaries is bound or to which Counterparty or any of its subsidiaries is subject, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation of any lien under, any such agreement or instrument.

 

  (c) No consent, approval, authorization, or order of, or filing with, any governmental agency or body or any court is required in connection with the execution, delivery or performance by Counterparty of this Confirmation, except such as have been obtained or made and such as may be required under the Securities Act or state securities laws.

 

  (d) Counterparty is not and, after consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, will not be required to register as an “investment company” as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

 

  (e) Counterparty is an “eligible contract participant” (as such term is defined in Section 1a(18) of the Commodity Exchange Act, as amended, other than a person that is an eligible contract participant under Section 1a(18)(C) of the Commodity Exchange Act).

 

  (f) Each of it and its affiliates is not, on the date hereof, in possession of any material non-public information with respect to Issuer or the Shares.

 

  (g) No state or local (including any non-U.S. jurisdiction’s) law, rule, regulation or regulatory order applicable to the Shares would give rise to any reporting, consent, registration or other requirement (including without limitation a requirement to obtain prior approval from any person or entity) as a result of Dealer or its affiliates owning or holding (however defined) Shares.

 

  (h) Counterparty (A) is capable of evaluating investment risks independently, both in general and with regard to all transactions and investment strategies involving a security or securities; (B) will exercise independent judgment in evaluating the recommendations of any broker-dealer or its associated persons, unless it has otherwise notified the broker-dealer in writing; and (C) has total assets of at least $50 million.


9. Other Provisions .

 

  (a) Opinions . In connection with the entry into or consummation of any Non-US Merger Transaction (as defined below) (other than the Permitted Tornier Merger Transaction), Counterparty shall deliver to Dealer an opinion of counsel (subject to customary qualifications, assumptions and exceptions), dated as of the date of such Non-US Merger Transaction, with respect to the matters set forth in Sections 8(a), 8(b) and 8(c) of this Confirmation (as if references therein to (i) “execute, deliver” were replaced with “assume”, (ii) “execution, delivery” and “execution and delivery” were replaced with “assumption” and (iii) “executed and delivered” were replaced with “assumed”). “ Non-US Merger Transaction ” means any Merger Event, reincorporation of Issuer, corporate inversion of Issuer or similar transaction pursuant to which (x) the consideration for the Shares includes (or, at the option of a holder of Shares, may include) shares of an entity or person that is not a corporation or is not organized under the laws of the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia or (y) the Issuer following such Merger Event, reincorporation of Issuer or corporate inversion of Issuer is organized in a jurisdiction other than the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia.

 

  (b)

Repurchase Notices . Counterparty shall, on any day on which Issuer effects any repurchase of Shares, promptly give Dealer a written notice of such repurchase (a “ Repurchase Notice ”) on such day if following such repurchase, the number of outstanding Shares as determined on such day is (i) less than 48,074,186 (in the case of the first such notice) or (ii) thereafter more than 2,663,694 less than the number of Shares included in the immediately preceding Repurchase Notice. Counterparty agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Dealer and its affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, affiliates, advisors, agents and controlling persons (each, an “ Indemnified Person ”) from and against any and all losses (including losses relating to Dealer’s hedging activities as a consequence of becoming, or of the risk of becoming, a Section 16 “insider”, including without limitation, any forbearance from hedging activities or cessation of hedging activities and any losses in connection therewith with respect to the Transaction), claims, damages, judgments, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees), joint or several, which an Indemnified Person may become subject to, as a result of Counterparty’s failure to provide Dealer with a Repurchase Notice on the day and in the manner specified in this paragraph, and to reimburse, within 30 days, upon written request, each of such Indemnified Persons for any reasonable legal or other expenses incurred in connection with investigating, preparing for, providing testimony or other evidence in connection with or defending any of the foregoing. If any suit, action, proceeding (including any governmental or regulatory investigation), claim or demand shall be brought or asserted against the Indemnified Person as a result of Counterparty’s failure to provide Dealer with a Repurchase Notice in accordance with this paragraph, such Indemnified Person shall promptly notify Counterparty in writing, and Counterparty, upon request of the Indemnified Person, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person to represent the Indemnified


  Person and any others Counterparty may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel related to such proceeding. Counterparty shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding contemplated by this paragraph that is effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, Counterparty agrees to indemnify any Indemnified Person from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Counterparty shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Person, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding contemplated by this paragraph that is in respect of which any Indemnified Person is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding on terms reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person. If the indemnification provided for in this paragraph is unavailable to an Indemnified Person or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then Counterparty hereunder, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Person thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Person as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities. The remedies provided for in this paragraph (b) are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any Indemnified Person at law or in equity. The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this paragraph shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the termination of the Transaction.

 

  (c) Regulation M . Counterparty is not on the Trade Date engaged in a distribution, as such term is used in Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “ Exchange Act ”), of any securities of Counterparty, other than a distribution meeting the requirements of the exception set forth in Rules 101(b)(10) and 102(b)(7) of Regulation M. Counterparty shall not, until the second Scheduled Trading Day immediately following the Effective Date, engage in any such distribution.

 

  (d) No Manipulation . Counterparty is not entering into the Transaction to create actual or apparent trading activity in the Shares (or any security convertible into or exchangeable for the Shares) or to raise or depress or otherwise manipulate the price of the Shares (or any security convertible into or exchangeable for the Shares) or otherwise in violation of the Exchange Act.

 

  (e) Transfer or Assignment .

 

  (i) Counterparty shall have the right to transfer or assign its rights and obligations hereunder with respect to all, but not less than all, of the Options hereunder (such Options, the “ Transfer Options ”); provided that such transfer or assignment shall be subject to reasonable conditions that Dealer may impose, including but not limited, to the following conditions:

 

  (A) With respect to any Transfer Options, Counterparty shall not be released from its notice and indemnification obligations pursuant to Section 9(b) or any obligations under Section 9(m) or 9(q) of this Confirmation;


  (B) Any Transfer Options shall only be transferred or assigned to a third party that is a United States person (as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code);

 

  (C) Such transfer or assignment shall be effected on terms, including any reasonable undertakings by such third party (including, but not limited to, an undertaking with respect to compliance with applicable securities laws in a manner that, in the reasonable judgment of Dealer, will not expose Dealer to material risks under applicable securities laws) and execution of any documentation and delivery of legal opinions with respect to securities laws and other matters by such third party and Counterparty, as are requested and reasonably satisfactory to Dealer;

 

  (D) Dealer will not, as a result of such transfer and assignment, be required to pay the transferee on any payment date an amount under Section 2(d)(i)(4) of the Agreement greater than an amount that Dealer would have been required to pay to Counterparty in the absence of such transfer and assignment;

 

  (E) An Event of Default, Potential Event of Default or Termination Event will not occur as a result of such transfer and assignment;

 

  (F) Without limiting the generality of clause (B), Counterparty shall cause the transferee to make such Payee Tax Representations and to provide such tax documentation as may be reasonably requested by Dealer to permit Dealer to determine that results described in clauses (D) and (E) will not occur upon or after such transfer and assignment; and

 

  (G) Counterparty shall be responsible for all reasonable costs and expenses, including reasonable counsel fees, incurred by Dealer in connection with such transfer or assignment;

and, for the avoidance of doubt, without limitation of any other provision hereof, the consummation of the Permitted Tornier Merger Transaction (as defined in the Indenture) shall not be deemed to be a transfer or assignment of the Company’s rights and obligations under the Transaction.

 

  (ii)

Dealer may, without Counterparty’s consent, transfer or assign all or any part of its rights or obligations under the Transaction (A) to any affiliate of


  Dealer (1) that has a rating for its long term, unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness that is equal to or better than Dealer’s credit rating at the time of such transfer or assignment, or (2) whose obligations hereunder will be guaranteed, pursuant to the terms of a customary guarantee in a form used by Dealer generally for similar transactions, by Dealer, or (B) to any other third party with a rating for its long term, unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness equal to or better than the lesser of (1) the credit rating of Dealer at the time of the transfer and (2) A- by Standard and Poor’s Rating Group, Inc. or its successor (“ S&P ”), or A3 by Moody’s Investor Service, Inc. (“ Moody’s ”) or, if either S&P or Moody’s ceases to rate such debt, at least an equivalent rating or better by a substitute rating agency mutually agreed by Counterparty and Dealer. If at any time at which (A) the Section 16 Percentage exceeds 7.5%, (B) the Option Equity Percentage exceeds 14.5%, or (C) the Share Amount exceeds the Applicable Share Limit (if any applies) (any such condition described in clauses (A), (B) or (C), an “ Excess Ownership Position ”), Dealer is unable after using its good faith and commercially reasonable efforts to effect a transfer or assignment of Options to a third party on pricing terms reasonably acceptable to Dealer and within a time period reasonably acceptable to Dealer such that no Excess Ownership Position exists, then Dealer may designate any Exchange Business Day as an Early Termination Date with respect to a portion of the Transaction (the “ Terminated Portion ”), such that following such partial termination no Excess Ownership Position exists. In the event that Dealer so designates an Early Termination Date with respect to a portion of the Transaction, a payment shall be made pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement as if (1) an Early Termination Date had been designated in respect of a Transaction having terms identical to the Transaction and a Number of Options equal to the number of Options underlying the Terminated Portion, (2) Counterparty were the sole Affected Party with respect to such partial termination and (3) the Terminated Portion were the sole Affected Transaction (and, for the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of Section 9(k) shall apply to any amount that is payable by Dealer to Counterparty pursuant to this sentence as if Counterparty was not the Affected Party). The “ Section 16 Percentage ” as of any day is the fraction, expressed as a percentage, (A) the numerator of which is the number of Shares that Dealer and each person subject to aggregation of Shares with Dealer under Section 13 or Section 16 of the Exchange Act and rules promulgated thereunder directly or indirectly beneficially own (as defined under Section 13 or Section 16 of the Exchange Act and rules promulgated thereunder) and (B) the denominator of which is the number of Shares outstanding. The “ Option Equity Percentage ” as of any day is the fraction, expressed as a percentage, (A) the numerator of which is the sum of (1) the product of the Number of Options and the Option Entitlement and (2) the aggregate number of Shares underlying any other call option transaction sold by Dealer to Counterparty or Issuer, as


  applicable, and (B) the denominator of which is the number of Shares outstanding. The “ Share Amount ” as of any day is the number of Shares that Dealer and any person whose ownership position would be aggregated with that of Dealer (Dealer or any such person, a “ Dealer Person ”) under any law, rule, regulation, regulatory order or organizational documents or contracts of Issuer that are, in each case, applicable to ownership of Shares (“ Applicable Restrictions ”), owns, beneficially owns, constructively owns, controls, holds the power to vote or otherwise meets a relevant definition of ownership under any Applicable Restriction, as determined by Dealer in its reasonable discretion. The “ Applicable Share Limit ” means a number of Shares equal to (A) the minimum number of Shares that could give rise to reporting or registration obligations or other requirements (including obtaining prior approval from any person or entity) of a Dealer Person, or could result in an adverse effect on a Dealer Person, under any Applicable Restriction, as determined by Dealer in its reasonable discretion, minus (B) 1% of the number of Shares outstanding.

 

  (iii) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Confirmation to the contrary requiring or allowing Dealer to purchase, sell, receive or deliver any Shares or other securities, or make or receive any payment in cash, to or from Counterparty, Dealer may designate any of its affiliates to purchase, sell, receive or deliver such Shares or other securities, or to make or receive such payment in cash, and otherwise to perform Dealer’s obligations in respect of the Transaction and any such designee may assume such obligations. Dealer shall be discharged of its obligations to Counterparty to the extent of any such performance.

 

  (f) Ratings Decline . If at any time the long term, unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of Dealer is rated Ba1 or lower by Moody’s or BB+ or lower by S&P (any such rating, a “ Ratings Downgrade ”), then Counterparty may, at any time following the occurrence and during the continuation of such Ratings Downgrade, provide written notice to Dealer specifying that it elects for this Section 9(f) to apply (a “ Trigger Notice ”). Upon receipt by Dealer of a Trigger Notice from Counterparty, Dealer shall promptly elect that either (i) the parties shall negotiate in good faith terms for collateral arrangements pursuant to which Dealer is required to provide collateral (including, but not limited to, equity or equity-linked securities issued by Counterparty or Issuer, as applicable) to Counterparty in respect of the Transaction with a value equal to the full mark-to-market exposure of Counterparty under the Transaction, as determined by Dealer in a good faith commercially reasonable manner, or (ii) an Additional Termination Event shall occur and, with respect to such Additional Termination Event, (A) Counterparty shall be deemed to be the sole Affected Party, and (B) the Transaction shall be the sole Affected Transaction.

 

  (g) [Reserved. ]


  (h) Additional Termination Events .

 

  (i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Confirmation if an event of default occurs under the terms of the Convertible Notes as set forth in Section 6.01 of the Indenture, then such event of default shall constitute an Additional Termination Event applicable to the Transaction and, with respect to such Additional Termination Event, (A) Counterparty shall be deemed to be the sole Affected Party, (B) the Transaction shall be the sole Affected Transaction and (C) Dealer shall be the party entitled to designate an Early Termination Date pursuant to Section 6(b) of the Agreement.

 

  (i) Amendments to the Equity Definitions .

 

  (i) Section 12.6(a)(ii) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended by (1) deleting from the fourth line thereof the word “or” after the word “official” and inserting a comma therefor, and (2) deleting the semi-colon at the end of subsection (B) thereof and inserting the following words therefor “or (C) at Dealer’s option, the occurrence of any of the events specified in Section 5(a)(vii)(1) through (9) of the ISDA Master Agreement with respect to that Issuer.”

 

  (ii) Section 12.9(b)(i) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended by (1) replacing “either party may elect” with “Dealer may elect” and (2) replacing “notice to the other party” with “notice to Counterparty” in the first sentence of such section.

 

  (j) Setoff . Obligations under the Transaction shall not be set off by either party against any other obligations of the parties, whether arising under the Agreement, this Confirmation, under any other agreement between the parties hereto, by operation of law or otherwise. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event of bankruptcy or liquidation of either Counterparty or Dealer neither party shall have the right to set off any obligation that it may have to the other party under the Transaction against any obligation such other party may have to it, whether arising under the Agreement, this Confirmation or any other agreement between the parties hereto, by operation of law or otherwise.

 

  (k)

Alternative Calculations and Payment on Early Termination and on Certain Extraordinary Events . If in respect of the Transaction, an amount is payable by Dealer to Counterparty (i) pursuant to Section 12.7 or Section 12.9 of the Equity Definitions or (ii) pursuant to Section 6(d)(ii) of the Agreement (any such amount, a “ Payment Obligation ”), Dealer shall satisfy the Payment Obligation by the Share Termination Alternative (as defined below), unless (a) Counterparty gives irrevocable telephonic notice to Dealer, confirmed in writing within one Scheduled Trading Day, no later than 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Merger Date, the Tender Offer Date, the Announcement Date (in the case of Nationalization, Insolvency or Delisting), the Early Termination Date or date of cancellation, as applicable, of its election that the Share Termination Alternative shall not apply, (b) Counterparty remakes (which representation is confirmed to


  Dealer in writing by Issuer, if other than Counterparty) the representation set forth in Section 8(f) as of the date of such election and (c) Dealer agrees, in its reasonable discretion, to such election, in which case the provisions of Section 12.7 or Section 12.9 of the Equity Definitions, or the provisions of Section 6(d)(ii) of the Agreement, as the case may be, shall apply.

 

Share Termination Alternative:    If applicable, Dealer shall deliver to Counterparty the Share Termination Delivery Property on, or within a commercially reasonable period of time after, the date when the relevant Payment Obligation would otherwise be due pursuant to Section 12.7 or 12.9 of the Equity Definitions or Section 6(d) (ii) and 6(e) of the Agreement, as applicable (the “ Share Termination Payment Date ”), in satisfaction of such Payment Obligation in the manner reasonably requested by Counterparty free of payment.
Share Termination Delivery Property:    A number of Share Termination Delivery Units, as calculated by the Calculation Agent, equal to the Payment Obligation divided by the Share Termination Unit Price. The Calculation Agent shall adjust the Share Termination Delivery Property by replacing any fractional portion of a security therein with an amount of cash equal to the value of such fractional security based on the values used to calculate the Share Termination Unit Price.
Share Termination Unit Price:    The value to Dealer of property contained in one Share Termination Delivery Unit, as determined by the Calculation Agent in its discretion by commercially reasonable means and notified by the Calculation Agent to Dealer at the time of notification of the Payment Obligation. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties agree that in determining the Share Termination Delivery Unit Price the Calculation Agent may consider, if commercially reasonable, the purchase price paid in connection with the purchase of Share Termination Delivery Property.


Share Termination Delivery Unit:    One Share or, if the Shares have changed into cash or any other property or the right to receive cash or any other property as the result of a Nationalization, Insolvency or Merger Event (any such cash or other property, the “ Exchange Property ”), a unit consisting of the type and amount of such Exchange Property received by a holder of one Share (without consideration of any requirement to pay cash or other consideration in lieu of fractional amounts of any securities) in such Nationalization, Insolvency or Merger Event, as determined by the Calculation Agent.
Failure to Deliver:    Applicable
Other applicable provisions:    If Share Termination Alternative is applicable, the provisions of Sections 9.8, 9.9 and 9.11 (as modified above) of the Equity Definitions and the provisions set forth opposite the caption “Representation and Agreement” in Section 2 will be applicable, except that all references in such provisions to “Physically-settled” shall be read as references to “Share Termination Settled” and all references to “Shares” shall be read as references to “Share Termination Delivery Units”. “Share Termination Settled” in relation to the Transaction means that the Share Termination Alternative is applicable to the Transaction.

 

  (l) Waiver of Jury Trial . Each party waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any right it may have to a trial by jury in respect of any suit, action or proceeding relating to the Transaction. Each party (i) certifies that no representative, agent or attorney of either party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other party would not, in the event of such a suit, action or proceeding, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver and (ii) acknowledges that it and the other party have been induced to enter into the Transaction, as applicable, by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications provided herein.

 

  (m)

Registration . Counterparty hereby agrees that if, in the good faith reasonable judgment of Dealer, the Shares (“ Hedge Shares ”) acquired by Dealer for the purpose of hedging its obligations pursuant to the Transaction cannot be sold in the public market by Dealer without registration under the Securities Act, Counterparty shall (or shall cause Issuer to), at its election, either (i) in order to


  allow Dealer to sell the Hedge Shares in a registered offering, make available to Dealer an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and enter into an agreement, in form and substance satisfactory to Dealer, substantially in the form of an underwriting agreement for a registered secondary offering; provided , however , that if Dealer, in its sole reasonable discretion, is not satisfied with access to due diligence materials, the results of its due diligence investigation, or the procedures and documentation for the registered offering referred to above, then clause (ii) or clause (iii) of this paragraph shall apply at the election of Counterparty, (ii) in order to allow Dealer to sell the Hedge Shares in a private placement, enter into a private placement agreement substantially similar to private placement purchase agreements customary for private placements of equity securities, in form and substance satisfactory to Dealer (in which case, the Calculation Agent shall make any adjustments to the terms of the Transaction that are necessary, in its reasonable judgment, to compensate Dealer for any discount from the public market price of the Shares incurred on the sale of Hedge Shares in a private placement), or (iii) purchase the Hedge Shares from Dealer at the Relevant Price on such Exchange Business Days, and in the amounts, requested by Dealer.

 

  (n) Tax Disclosure . Effective from the date of commencement of discussions concerning the Transaction, Counterparty and each of its employees, representatives, or other agents may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of the Transaction and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to Counterparty relating to such tax treatment and tax structure.

 

  (o) Right to Extend . Dealer may postpone or add, in whole or in part, any Valid Day or Valid Days during the Settlement Averaging Period or any other date of valuation, payment or delivery by Dealer, with respect to some or all of the Options hereunder, if Dealer reasonably and in good faith determines, based on the advice of counsel in the case of the immediately following clause (ii), that such action is reasonably necessary or appropriate (i) to preserve Dealer’s commercially reasonable hedging or hedge unwind activity hereunder in light of existing liquidity conditions or (ii) to enable Dealer to effect transactions with respect to Shares in connection with its commercially reasonable hedging, hedge unwind or settlement activity hereunder in a manner that would, if Dealer were Issuer or an affiliated purchaser of Issuer, be in compliance with applicable legal, regulatory or self-regulatory requirements, or with related policies and procedures applicable to Dealer.

 

  (p)

Securities Contract; Swap Agreement . The parties hereto intend for (i) the Transaction to be a “securities contract” and a “swap agreement” as defined in the Bankruptcy Code (Title 11 of the United States Code) (the “ Bankruptcy Code ”), and the parties hereto to be entitled to the protections afforded by, among other Sections, Sections 362(b)(6), 362(b)(17), 546(e), 546(g), 555 and 560 of the Bankruptcy Code, (ii) a party’s right to liquidate the Transaction and to exercise any other remedies upon the occurrence of any Event of Default under the


  Agreement with respect to the other party to constitute a “contractual right” as described in the Bankruptcy Code, and (iii) each payment and delivery of cash, securities or other property hereunder to constitute a “margin payment” or “settlement payment” and a “transfer” as defined in the Bankruptcy Code.

 

  (q) Notice of Certain Other Events . Counterparty covenants and agrees that:

 

  (i) promptly following the public announcement of the results of any election by the holders of Shares with respect to the consideration due upon consummation of any Merger Event, Counterparty shall give Dealer written notice of the types and amounts of consideration that holders of Shares have elected to receive upon consummation of such Merger Event (the date of such notification, the “ Consideration Notification Date ”); provided that in no event shall the Consideration Notification Date be later than the date on which such Merger Event is consummated;

 

  (ii) promptly following any adjustment to the Convertible Notes in connection with any Potential Adjustment Event, Merger Event or Tender Offer, Counterparty shall give Dealer written notice of the details of such adjustment; and

 

  (iii) promptly following the public announcement of any change to the pending merger transaction between Counterparty and Tornier N.V. (including, without limitation, any termination, amendment or modification of the related merger agreement, any change to the consideration for the Shares and/or the withdrawal, or abandonment or discontinuation of, such transaction).

 

  (r) Wall Street Transparency and Accountability Act . In connection with Section 739 of the Wall Street Transparency and Accountability Act of 2010 (“ WSTAA ”), the parties hereby agree that neither the enactment of WSTAA or any regulation under the WSTAA, nor any requirement under WSTAA or an amendment made by WSTAA, shall limit or otherwise impair either party’s otherwise applicable rights to terminate, renegotiate, modify, amend or supplement this Confirmation or the Agreement, as applicable, arising from a termination event, force majeure, illegality, increased costs, regulatory change or similar event under this Confirmation, the Equity Definitions incorporated herein, or the Agreement (including, but not limited to, rights arising from Change in Law, Hedging Disruption, Increased Cost of Hedging, an Excess Ownership Position, or Illegality (as defined in the Agreement)).

Dealer shall be discharged of its obligations to Counterparty to the extent of any such performance.

 

  (v) Non-US Merger Transactions . Issuer shall not enter into or consummate any Non-US Merger Transaction (other than the Permitted Tornier Merger Transaction) unless the successor Issuer immediately following such Non-US Merger Transaction repeats to Dealer immediately following such Non-US Merger Transaction the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 8(a), 8(b), 8(c) and 8(d) of this Confirmation (as if references therein to (i) “execute, deliver” were replaced with “assume”, (ii) “execution, delivery” and “execution and delivery” were replaced with “assumption” and (iii) “executed and delivered” were replaced with “assumed”).

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Confirmation if (a) at or prior to the Tornier Merger Transaction, (1) Issuer enters into or consummates any Non-US Merger Transaction pursuant to which Issuer following such Non-US Merger Transaction is not a corporation organized under the laws of the United States,


any State thereof or the District of Columbia (or, solely in the case of the Tornier Merger Transaction, not a Dutch public limited company or an entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes organized and existing under the laws of the Netherlands), or (2) Counterparty ceases to be a corporation organized under the laws of the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia that is Issuer or a wholly-owned subsidiary of Issuer, or (3) Issuer enters into or consummates any Non-US Merger Transaction and does not comply with the requirements of the immediately previous paragraph of this Section 9(v), or (b) after the Tornier Merger Transaction, (1) Issuer enters into or consummates any Non-US Merger Transaction pursuant to which Issuer following such Non-US Merger Transaction is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than the Islands of Bermuda, the Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland, Luxembourg, the Republic of Ireland, Canada or the United Kingdom, (2) Counterparty ceases to be a corporation organized under the laws of the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia that is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Issuer, or (3) Issuer enters into or consummates any Non-US Merger Transaction and does not comply with the requirements of the immediately previous paragraph of this Section 9(v), then, in any such case of clauses (a) and (b), such transaction or event shall constitute an Additional Termination Event applicable to the Transaction and, with respect to such Additional Termination Event, (A) Counterparty shall be deemed to be the sole Affected Party, (B) the Transaction shall be the sole Affected Transaction and (C) Dealer shall be the party entitled to designate an Early Termination Date pursuant to Section 6(b) of the Agreement.

If, at any time following the occurrence of any Non-US Merger Transaction (other than the Permitted Tornier Merger Transaction), Dealer determines in good faith that (x) such Non-US Merger Transaction has had an adverse effect on Dealer’s rights and obligations under the Transaction or (y) Dealer would incur an increased amount of tax, duty, expense or fee to (1) acquire, establish, re-establish, substitute, maintain, unwind or dispose of any transaction(s) or asset(s) it deems necessary to hedge the economic risk of entering into and performing its obligations with respect to the Transaction, or (2) realize, recover or remit the proceeds of any such transaction(s) or asset(s) (each of the events described in clause (x) and clause (y) above, a “ Non-US Merger Event ”), then, in either case, Dealer shall give notice to Counterparty of such Non-US Merger Event. Concurrently with delivering such notice, Dealer shall give notice to Counterparty of a Price Adjustment that Dealer reasonably and in good faith determines appropriate to account for the economic effect on the Transaction of such Non-US Merger Event (unless Dealer determines that no Price Adjustment will produce a commercially reasonably result, in which case Dealer shall so notify Counterparty). Unless Dealer determines in good faith that no Price Adjustment will produce a commercially reasonably result, within one Scheduled Trading Day of receipt of such notice, Counterparty shall notify Dealer that it elects to (A) agree to amend the Transaction to take into account such Price Adjustment or (B) pay Dealer the amount determined by Dealer that corresponds to such Price Adjustment (and, in each case, Counterparty shall repeat the representation set forth in Section 8(f) of this Confirmation (which representation is confirmed to


Dealer in writing by Issuer, if other than Counterparty) as of the date of such election). If Counterparty fails to give such notice to Dealer of its election in accordance with the foregoing by the end of that first Scheduled Trading Day, or if Dealer determines that no Price Adjustment will produce a commercially reasonably result, then such failure or such determination, as the case may be, shall constitute an Additional Termination Event applicable to the Transaction (it being understood that in the case of a Non-US Merger Event solely pursuant to clause (x) of the definition thereof, such determination shall constitute an Additional Termination Event only if the relevant adverse effect may have a material impact on Dealer’s rights and obligations under the Transaction, as determined by Dealer in good faith) and, with respect to such Additional Termination Event, (1) Counterparty shall be deemed to be the sole Affected Party, (2) the Transaction shall be the sole Affected Transaction and (3) Dealer shall be the party entitled to designate an Early Termination Date pursuant to Section 6(b) of the Agreement.

For the avoidance of doubt, the parties hereto agree and acknowledge that (I) the occurrence of an Non-US Merger Event shall not preclude the occurrence of one or more additional, subsequent Non-US Merger Events and (II) if a Non-US Merger Event occurs, Dealer will determine, in its sole discretion, whether to exercise its rights under the provisions of this Section 9(v) and/or the rights and remedies of Dealer and its affiliates under any other provision of this Confirmation, the Equity Definitions and the Agreement.

 

  (w) Tax Forms . Counterparty shall provide to Dealer a valid U.S. Internal Revenue Service (“ IRS ”) Form W-9 on or before the date of execution of this Confirmation and will promptly tender an updated IRS Form W-9 or applicable IRS Form W-8 if the previously tendered IRS Form W-9 becomes incorrect as a result of a change in facts. Dealer shall provide Counterparty a valid IRS Form W-9 or applicable IRS Form W-8 on or before the date of execution of this Confirmation and will promptly tender an updated IRS Form W-9 or applicable IRS Form W-8 if the previously tendered IRS Form W-9 or applicable IRS Form W-8 becomes incorrect as a result of a change in facts.

 

  (x) Certain Withholding Taxes . “Indemnifiable Tax” as defined in Section 14 of the Agreement shall not include any (i) tax imposed on payments treated as dividends from sources within the United States under Section 871(m) of the Code or any regulations or official guidance issued thereunder (an “871(m) Withholding Tax”) or (ii) tax imposed or collected pursuant to Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code, any current or future regulations or official interpretations thereof, any agreement entered into pursuant to Section 1471(b) of the Code, or any fiscal or regulatory legislation, rules or practices adopted pursuant to any intergovernmental agreement entered into in connection with the implementation of such Sections of the Code (a “FATCA Withholding Tax”). For the avoidance of doubt, an 871(m) Withholding Tax or a FATCA Withholding Tax is a Tax the deduction or withholding of which is required by applicable law for the purposes of Section 2(d) of the Agreement.

Each of the representations and warranties of Company set forth in Section 3 of the Purchase Agreement (the “ Purchase Agreement ”), dated as of February 9, 2015, between Company and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, as representative of the Initial Purchasers party thereto (the “ Initial Purchasers ”), are true and correct and are hereby deemed to be repeated to Dealer as if set forth herein. Company hereby further represents and warrants to Dealer on the date hereof, on and as of the Premium Payment Date and, in the case of the representations in Section 8(d), at all times until termination of the Transaction, that:

 

  (a) Company has all necessary corporate power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations in respect of the Transaction; such execution, delivery and performance have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on Company’s part; and this Confirmation has been duly and validly executed and delivered by Company and constitutes its valid and binding obligation, enforceable against Company in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights and remedies generally, and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity, including principles of commercial reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding at law or in equity) and except that rights to indemnification and contribution hereunder may be limited by federal or state securities laws or public policy relating thereto.

 

  (b) Neither the execution and delivery of this Confirmation nor the incurrence or performance of obligations of Company hereunder will conflict with or result in a breach of the certificate of incorporation or by-laws (or any equivalent documents) of Company, or any applicable law or regulation, or any order, writ, injunction or decree of any court or governmental authority or agency, or any agreement or instrument to which Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party or by which Company or any of its subsidiaries is bound or to which Company or any of its subsidiaries is subject, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation of any lien under, any such agreement or instrument.

 

  (c) No consent, approval, authorization, or order of, or filing with, any governmental agency or body or any court is required in connection with the execution, delivery or performance by Company of this Confirmation, except such as have been obtained or made and such as may be required under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ Securities Act ”) or state securities laws.

 

  (d)

A number of Shares equal to the Maximum Number of Shares (as defined below) (the “ Warrant Shares ”) have been reserved for issuance by all required corporate action of Issuer. The Warrant Shares have been duly authorized and, when delivered against payment therefor (which may include Net Share Settlement in lieu of cash) and otherwise as contemplated by the terms of the Warrants following the exercise of the Warrants in accordance with the terms and


  conditions of the Warrants, will be validly issued, fully-paid and non-assessable, and the issuance of the Warrant Shares will not be subject to any preemptive or similar rights and the Warrant Shares shall upon issuance (subject to notice of issuance) be accepted for listing or quotation on the Exchange.

 

  (e) Company is not and, after consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, will not be required to register as an “investment company” as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

 

  (f) Company is an “eligible contract participant” (as such term is defined in Section 1a(18) of the Commodity Exchange Act, as amended, other than a person that is an eligible contract participant under Section 1a(18) (C) of the Commodity Exchange Act).

 

  (g) Company and each of its affiliates are not, on the date hereof, in possession of any material non-public information with respect to Company or the Shares.

 

  (h) No state or local (including any non-U.S. jurisdiction’s) law, rule, regulation or regulatory order applicable to the Shares would give rise to any reporting, consent, registration or other requirement (including without limitation a requirement to obtain prior approval from any person or entity), except for the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act and rules promulgated thereunder, or, at and after the Tornier Merger Transaction, the reporting or registration requirements of the Dutch Corporate Income Tax Act 1969 ( Wet op de vennootschapsbelasting 1969 ), in each case, as a result of Dealer or its affiliates owning or holding (however defined) Shares.

 

  (i) Company (A) is capable of evaluating investment risks independently, both in general and with regard to all transactions and investment strategies involving a security or securities; (B) will exercise independent judgment in evaluating the recommendations of any broker-dealer or its associated persons, unless it has otherwise notified the broker-dealer in writing; and (C) has total assets of at least $50 million.

9. Other Provisions .

 

  (a)

Opinions . In connection with the entry into or consummation of any Non-US Merger Transaction (as defined below) (other than the Permitted Tornier Merger Transaction), Issuer shall deliver to Dealer an opinion of counsel (subject to customary qualifications, assumptions and exceptions), dated as of the date of such Non-US Merger Transaction, with respect to the matters set forth in Sections 8(a), 8(b), 8(c) and 8(d) of this Confirmation (as if references therein to (i) “execute, deliver” were replaced with “assume”, (ii) “execution, delivery” and “execution and delivery” were replaced with “assumption” and (iii) “executed and delivered” were replaced with “assumed”). “ Non-US Merger Transaction ” means any Merger Event, reincorporation of Issuer, corporate inversion of Issuer or similar transaction pursuant to which (x) the consideration for the Shares


  includes (or, at the option of a holder of Shares, may include) shares of an entity or person that is not a corporation or is not organized under the laws of the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia or (y) the Issuer following such Merger Event, reincorporation of Issuer or corporate inversion of Issuer is organized in a jurisdiction other than the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia.

 

  (b)

Repurchase Notices . Issuer shall, on any day on which Issuer effects any repurchase of Shares, promptly give Dealer a written notice of such repurchase (a “ Repurchase Notice ”) on such day if following such repurchase, the number of outstanding Shares on such day, subject to any adjustments provided herein, is (i) less than 49,827,871 (in the case of the first such notice) or (ii) thereafter more than 1,183,002 less than the number of Shares included in the immediately preceding Repurchase Notice. Issuer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Dealer and its affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, affiliates, advisors, agents and controlling persons (each, an “ Indemnified Person ”) from and against any and all losses (including losses relating to Dealer’s hedging activities as a consequence of becoming, or of the risk of becoming, a Section 16 “insider”, including without limitation, any forbearance from hedging activities or cessation of hedging activities and any losses in connection therewith with respect to the Transaction), claims, damages, judgments, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees), joint or several, which an Indemnified Person actually may become subject to, as a result of Issuer’s failure to provide Dealer with a Repurchase Notice on the day and in the manner specified in this paragraph, and to reimburse, within 30 days, upon written request, each of such Indemnified Persons for any reasonable legal or other expenses incurred in connection with investigating, preparing for, providing testimony or other evidence in connection with or defending any of the foregoing. If any suit, action, proceeding (including any governmental or regulatory investigation), claim or demand shall be brought or asserted against the Indemnified Person, such Indemnified Person shall promptly notify Issuer in writing, and Issuer, upon request of the Indemnified Person, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person to represent the Indemnified Person and any others Issuer may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel related to such proceeding. Issuer shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, Issuer agrees to indemnify any Indemnified Person from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Issuer shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Person, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Person is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding on terms reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person. If the indemnification provided for in this paragraph is unavailable to an Indemnified Person or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or


  liabilities referred to therein, then Issuer under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Person thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Person as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities. The remedies provided for in this paragraph are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any Indemnified Person at law or in equity. The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this paragraph shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the termination of the Transaction.

 

  (c) Regulation M . Issuer is not on the Trade Date engaged in a distribution, as such term is used in Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “ Exchange Act ”), of any securities of Issuer, other than a distribution meeting the requirements of the exception set forth in Rules 101(b)(10) and 102(b)(7) of Regulation M. Issuer shall not, until the second Scheduled Trading Day immediately following the Effective Date, engage in any such distribution.

 

  (d) No Manipulation . Issuer is not entering into the Transaction to create actual or apparent trading activity in the Shares (or any security convertible into or exchangeable for the Shares) or to raise or depress or otherwise manipulate the price of the Shares (or any security convertible into or exchangeable for the Shares) or otherwise in violation of the Exchange Act.

 

  (e)

Transfer or Assignment . Company may not transfer any of its rights or obligations under the Transaction without the prior written consent of Dealer; provided, however , without limitation of any other provision hereof, that the consummation of the Permitted Tornier Merger Transaction shall not be deemed to be a transfer or assignment of the Company’s rights and obligations under the Transaction. Dealer may, without Company’s or Issuer’s (if other than Company) consent, transfer or assign all or any part of its rights or obligations under the Transaction to any third party; provided , however , that the transferee or assignee shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment of additional amounts under Section 2(d)(i)(4) of the Agreement than Dealer would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Tax Law that occurs after the date of the transfer or assignment. If at any time at which (A) the Section 16 Percentage exceeds 7.5%, (B) the Warrant Equity Percentage exceeds 14.5%, or (C) the Share Amount exceeds the Applicable Share Limit (if any applies) (any such condition described in clauses (A), (B) or (C), an “ Excess Ownership Position ”), Dealer is unable after using its commercially reasonable efforts to effect a transfer or assignment of Warrants to a third party on pricing terms reasonably acceptable to Dealer and within a time period reasonably acceptable to Dealer such that no Excess Ownership Position exists, then Dealer may designate any Exchange Business Day as an Early Termination Date with respect to a portion of the Transaction (the “ Terminated Portion ”), such that following such partial termination no Excess Ownership Position exists. In the event that Dealer so designates an Early Termination Date with respect to a Terminated Portion, a payment shall be made


  pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement as if (1) an Early Termination Date had been designated in respect of a Transaction having terms identical to the Transaction and a Number of Warrants equal to the number of Warrants underlying the Terminated Portion, (2) Company were the sole Affected Party with respect to such partial termination and (3) the Terminated Portion were the sole Affected Transaction (and, for the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of Section 9(j) shall apply to any amount that is payable by Company to Dealer pursuant to this sentence as if Company was not the Affected Party). The “ Section 16 Percentage ” as of any day is the fraction, expressed as a percentage, (A) the numerator of which is the number of Shares that Dealer and each person subject to aggregation of Shares with Dealer under Section 13 or Section 16 of the Exchange Act and rules promulgated thereunder directly or indirectly beneficially own (as defined under Section 13 or Section 16 of the Exchange Act and rules promulgated thereunder) and (B) the denominator of which is the number of Shares outstanding. The “ Warrant Equity Percentage ” as of any day is the fraction, expressed as a percentage, (A) the numerator of which is the sum of (1) the product of the Number of Warrants and the Warrant Entitlement and (2) the aggregate number of Shares underlying any other warrants purchased by Dealer from Company or Issuer, as applicable, and (B) the denominator of which is the number of Shares outstanding. The “ Share Amount ” as of any day is the number of Shares that Dealer and any person whose ownership position would be aggregated with that of Dealer (Dealer or any such person, a “ Dealer Person ”) under any law, rule, regulation, regulatory order or organizational documents or contracts of Issuer that are, in each case, applicable to ownership of Shares (“ Applicable Restrictions ”), owns, beneficially owns, constructively owns, controls, holds the power to vote or otherwise meets a relevant definition of ownership under any Applicable Restriction, as determined by Dealer in its reasonable discretion. The “ Applicable Share Limit ” means a number of Shares equal to (A) the minimum number of Shares that could give rise to reporting or registration obligations or other requirements (including obtaining prior approval from any person or entity) of a Dealer Person, or could result in an adverse effect on a Dealer Person, under any Applicable Restriction, as determined by Dealer in its reasonable discretion, minus (B) 1% of the number of Shares outstanding. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Confirmation to the contrary requiring or allowing Dealer to purchase, sell, receive or deliver any Shares or other securities, or make or receive any payment in cash, to or from Company or Issuer, as applicable, Dealer may designate any of its affiliates to purchase, sell, receive or deliver such Shares or other securities, or make or receive such payment in cash, and otherwise to perform Dealer’s obligations in respect of the Transaction and any such designee may assume such obligations. Dealer shall be discharged of its obligations to Company or Issuer (if other than Company) to the extent of any such performance.

 

  (f)

Dividends . If at any time during the period from and including the Effective Date, to and including the last Expiration Date, an ex-dividend date for a cash dividend occurs with respect to the Shares (an “ Ex-Dividend Date ”), then the Calculation Agent will adjust any of the Strike Price, Number of Warrants, Daily Number of


  Warrants and/or any other variable relevant to the exercise, settlement or payment of the Transaction to preserve the fair value of the Warrants to Dealer after taking into account such dividend.

 

  (g) Role of Agent . The Agent is acting as Agent for Dealer. The Agent does not act as agent of Counterparty. For the avoidance of doubt, any performance by Dealer of its obligations hereunder solely to Agent shall not relieve Dealer of such obligations. Agent’s performance to Counterparty of Dealer’s obligations hereunder shall relieve Dealer of such obligations to the extent of such performance. Any performance by Counterparty of its obligations (including notice obligations) through or by means of Agent’s agency for Dealer shall constitute good performance of Counterparty’s obligations hereunder to Dealer.

 

  (h) Additional Provisions .

 

  (i) Amendments to the Equity Definitions:

 

  (A) Section 11.2(a) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended by deleting the words “a diluting or concentrative” and replacing them with the words “an”; and adding the phrase “or Warrants” at the end of the sentence.

 

  (B) Section 11.2(c) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended by (w) replacing the words “a diluting or concentrative” with “an” in the fifth line thereof, (x) adding the phrase “or Warrants” after the words “the relevant Shares” in the same sentence, (y) deleting the words “diluting or concentrative” in the sixth to last line thereof and (z) deleting the phrase “(provided that no adjustments will be made to account solely for changes in volatility, expected dividends, stock loan rate or liquidity relative to the relevant Shares)” and replacing it with the phrase “(and, for the avoidance of doubt, adjustments may be made to account solely for changes in volatility, expected dividends, stock loan rate or liquidity relative to the relevant Shares).”

 

  (C) Section 11.2(e)(vii) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended by deleting the words “a diluting or concentrative” and replacing them with the word “a material”; and adding the phrase “or Warrants” at the end of the sentence.

In addition, it shall constitute a Potential Adjustment Event if on any day during the period from and including the Trade Date, to and including the final Expiration Date, Company or Tornier makes a public announcement of any transaction or event, or any change to the contemplated terms of the Tornier Merger Transaction or any other previously announced transaction or event (including, without limitation, any change to the “Exchange Ratio”


contemplated pursuant to the Tornier Merger Transaction), that, in the reasonable opinion of Dealer would, upon consummation of such transaction or upon the occurrence of such event, as applicable, and after giving effect to any applicable adjustments hereunder (including, without limitation, any applicable adjustment in respect of the Tornier Merger Transaction), cause the amount in EUR equal to the product of (i) a number of Shares equal to the Number of Warrants multiplied by the Warrant Entitlement and (ii) the par value per ordinary share of Tornier to exceed EUR 275,508.00 (the amount of any such excess, the “ Relevant Excess Amount ”).

In making adjustments in respect of a Potential Adjustment Event occurring pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph, Company acknowledges and agrees that Dealer may take into account the economic cost to Dealer of the Relevant Excess Amount; provided that, Company may elect to pay to Dealer, within three Currency Business Days of notice of the relevant adjustment to Company, an amount in EUR equal to the Relevant Excess Amount, in which case Dealer shall not make such adjustment to the extent it reflects the economic cost to Dealer of the Relevant Excess Amount.

 

  (D) Section 12.6(a)(ii) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended by (1) deleting from the fourth line thereof the word “or” after the word “official” and inserting a comma therefor, and (2) deleting the semi-colon at the end of subsection (B) thereof and inserting the following words therefor “or (C) at Dealer’s option, the occurrence of any of the events specified in Section 5(a)(vii) (1) through (9) of the ISDA Master Agreement with respect to that Issuer.”

 

  (E) Section 12.9(b)(iv) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended by:

 

  (x) deleting (1) subsection (A) in its entirety, (2) the phrase “or (B)” following subsection (A) and (3) the phrase “in each case” in subsection (B); and

 

  (y) replacing the phrase “neither the Non-Hedging Party nor the Lending Party lends Shares” with the phrase “such Lending Party does not lend Shares” in the penultimate sentence.


  (F) Section 12.9(b)(v) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended by:

 

  (x) adding the word “or” immediately before subsection “(B)” and deleting the comma at the end of subsection (A); and

 

  (y) (1) deleting subsection (C) in its entirety, (2) deleting the word “or” immediately preceding subsection (C), (3) deleting the penultimate sentence in its entirety and replacing it with the sentence “The Hedging Party will determine the Cancellation Amount payable by one party to the other.” and (4) deleting clause (X) in the final sentence.

 

  (ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Confirmation, upon the occurrence of one of the following events, with respect to the Transaction, (1) Dealer shall have the right to designate such event an Additional Termination Event and designate an Early Termination Date pursuant to Section 6(b) of the Agreement, (2) Company shall be deemed the sole Affected Party with respect to such Additional Termination Event and (3) the Transaction, or, at the election of Dealer in its reasonable discretion, any portion of the Transaction, shall be deemed the sole Affected Transaction; provided that if Dealer so designates an Early Termination Date with respect to a portion of the Transaction, (a) a payment shall be made pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement as if an Early Termination Date had been designated in respect of a Transaction having terms identical to the Transaction and a Number of Warrants equal to the number of Warrants included in the terminated portion of the Transaction, and (b) for the avoidance of doubt, the Transaction shall remain in full force and effect except that the Number of Warrants shall be reduced by the number of Warrants included in such terminated portion:

 

  (A) A “person” or “group” within the meaning of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, other than Issuer or its subsidiaries files a Schedule TO or any schedule, form or report under the Exchange Act disclosing that such person or group has become the direct or indirect “beneficial owner,” as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act, of the common equity of Issuer representing more than 50% of the voting power of such common equity. The Permitted Tornier Merger Transaction will not constitute an Additional Termination Event pursuant to this clause (A).

 

  (B)

Consummation of (I) any recapitalization, reclassification or change of the Shares (other than changes resulting from a subdivision or combination), including resulting from the Tornier Merger Transaction (except if it constitutes the Permitted Tornier Merger Transaction), as a result of which the Shares would be converted into, or exchanged for, stock, other securities, other property or assets; (II) any share exchange, consolidation or merger of Issuer pursuant to which the Shares will be converted into cash, securities or other property; or (III) any sale, lease or


  other transfer in one transaction or a series of transactions of all or substantially all of the consolidated assets of Issuer and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to any person other than one of Issuer’s subsidiaries; provided , however , that a transaction or transactions described in this clause (B) shall not constitute an Additional Termination Event pursuant to this clause (B), if at least 90% of the consideration received or to be received by holders of the Shares, excluding cash payments for fractional Shares and cash payments made pursuant to dissenters’ appraisal rights, in connection with such transaction or transactions consists of shares of common stock (1) a U.S. Entity or (2) a corporation or entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes organized and existing under the laws of the Islands of Bermuda, the Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland, Luxembourg, the Republic of Ireland, Canada or the United Kingdom, in each case, that are listed or quoted on any of The New York Stock Exchange, The NASDAQ Global Select Market or The NASDAQ Global Market (or any of their respective successors) or will be so listed or quoted when issued or exchanged in connection with such transaction or transactions, and as a result of such transaction or transactions, the reference property for the Shares becomes such consideration, excluding cash payments for fractional Shares. For purposes of the exception described in the immediately preceding proviso, any transaction or event described under both clause (A) above and this clause (B) will be evaluated solely under this clause (B). The Permitted Tornier Merger Transaction will not constitute an Additional Termination Event pursuant to this clause (B).

 

  (C) Default by the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries with respect to any mortgage, agreement or other instrument under which there may be outstanding, or by which there may be secured or evidenced, any indebtedness for money borrowed in excess of $25 million in the aggregate of the Issuer and/or any such subsidiary, whether such indebtedness now exists or shall hereafter be created (i) resulting in such indebtedness becoming or being accelerated and declared due and payable prior to its stated maturity date or (ii) constituting a failure to pay the principal or interest of any such debt when due and payable (after the expiration of any applicable grace period) at its stated maturity, upon required repurchase, upon declaration of acceleration or otherwise; provided , however , the acceleration of any indebtedness of Parent as a result of the Permitted Tornier Merger Transaction shall not constitute an Additional Termination Event pursuant to this clause (C) if such accelerated indebtedness is repaid in full within 50 calendar days.


  (D) Certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency, or reorganization of the Issuer or any of its significant subsidiaries as defined in Article 1, Rule 1-02 of Regulation S-X.

 

  (E) The Tornier Merger Transaction is consummated but (i) does not constitute the Permitted Tornier Merger Transaction, (ii) occurs on or after the Cut-Off Date (as defined below) or (iii) within 90 calendar days of the Effective Time of the Tornier Merger Transaction, Tornier has not fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior basis the Company’s obligations under the Indenture to be dated February 13, 2015 between Company and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee (the “ Indenture ”) and the Company’s 2.00% Cash Convertible Senior Notes due 2020 (the “ Notes ”). The “ Cut-Off Date ” shall mean 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on September 30, 2015, which date may be extended by the Company in its sole discretion by written notice to Dealer (which notice contains a representation and warranty from Company that Company and each of its affiliates are not, on the date thereof, in possession of any material non-public information with respect to Company or the Shares) to a date not beyond December 31, 2015.

 

  (F) At or after the Effective Time of the Tornier Merger Transaction, the Company ceases to be, (1) a U.S. Entity, or (2) a corporation or entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes organized and existing under the laws of the Islands of Bermuda, the Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland, Luxembourg, the Republic of Ireland, Canada or the United Kingdom.

 

  (G) Within 90 calendar days of the Effective Time of the Tornier Merger Transaction, each of the Company and Wright Medical Group N.V. has not executed and delivered to Dealer an amendment to this Confirmation substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A hereto and/or has not delivered to Dealer the legal opinions required thereunder. For the avoidance of doubt, none of a Hedging Disruption, Increased Cost of Hedging, Loss of Stock Borrow and/or Increased Cost of Stock Borrow shall occur solely as a result of Dealer not receiving such executed amendment and legal opinions as of any day prior to the end of such 90 calendar day period.

 

  (H) Dealer, despite using commercially reasonable efforts, is unable or reasonably determines that it is impractical or illegal, to hedge its exposure with respect to the Transaction in the public market without registration under the Securities Act or as a result of any legal, regulatory or self-regulatory requirements or related policies and procedures (whether or not such requirements, policies or procedures are imposed by law or have been voluntarily adopted by Dealer).


  (i) No Collateral or Setoff . Notwithstanding any provision of the Agreement or any other agreement between the parties to the contrary, the obligations of Company hereunder are not secured by any collateral. Obligations under the Transaction shall not be set off by either party against any other obligations of the parties, whether arising under the Agreement, this Confirmation, under any other agreement between the parties hereto, by operation of law or otherwise. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event of bankruptcy or liquidation of either Company or Dealer, neither party shall have the right to set off any obligation that it may have to the other party under the Transaction against any obligation such other party may have to it, whether arising under the Agreement, this Confirmation or any other agreement between the parties hereto, by operation of law or otherwise.

  (i) If, in respect of the Transaction, an amount is payable by Company to Dealer, (A) pursuant to Section 12.7 or Section 12.9 of the Equity Definitions or (B) pursuant to Section 6(d)(ii) of the Agreement (any such amount, a “ Payment Obligation ”), Company shall satisfy the Payment Obligation by the Share Termination Alternative (as defined below), unless (a) Company gives irrevocable telephonic notice to Dealer, confirmed in writing within one Scheduled Trading Day, no later than 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Merger Date, Tender Offer Date, Announcement Date (in the case of a Nationalization, Insolvency or Delisting), Early Termination Date or date of cancellation, as applicable, of its election that the Share Termination Alternative shall not apply, (b) Company remakes the representation set forth in Section 8(g) as of the date of such election and (c) Dealer agrees, in its sole discretion, to such election, in which case the provisions of Section 12.7 or Section 12.9 of the Equity Definitions, or the provisions of Section 6(d)(ii) of the Agreement, as the case may be, shall apply.

 

Share Termination   
Alternative:   

If applicable, Company shall deliver to Dealer the Share Termination Delivery Property on the date (the “ Share Termination Payment Date ”) on which the Payment Obligation would otherwise be due pursuant to Section 12.7 or Section 12.9 of the Equity Definitions or Section 6(d)(ii) of the Agreement, as applicable, subject to Section 9(k)(i) below, in satisfaction, subject to Section 9(k)(ii) below, of the relevant Payment Obligation, in the manner reasonably requested by Dealer free of payment.

 


Share Termination Delivery   
Property:    A number of Share Termination Delivery Units, as calculated by the Calculation Agent, equal to the relevant Payment Obligation divided by the Share Termination Unit Price. The Calculation Agent shall adjust the amount of Share Termination Delivery Property by replacing any fractional portion of a security therein with an amount of cash equal to the value of such fractional security based on the values used to calculate the Share Termination Unit Price (without giving effect to any discount pursuant to Section 9(k)(i)).
Share Termination Unit   
Price:    The value to Dealer of property contained in one Share Termination Delivery Unit on the date such Share Termination Delivery Units are to be delivered as Share Termination Delivery Property, as determined by the Calculation Agent in its discretion by commercially reasonable means. In the case of a Private Placement of Share Termination Delivery Units that are Restricted Shares (as defined below), as set forth in Section 9(k)(i) below, the Share Termination Unit Price shall be determined by the discounted price applicable to such Share Termination Delivery Units. In the case of a Registration Settlement of Share Termination Delivery Units that are Restricted Shares (as defined below) as set forth in Section 9(k)(ii) below, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Share Termination Unit Price shall be the Settlement Price on the Merger Date, Tender Offer Date, Announcement Date (in the case of a Nationalization, Insolvency or Delisting), Early Termination Date or date of cancellation, as applicable. The Calculation Agent shall notify Company of the Share Termination Unit Price at the time of notification of such Payment Obligation


   to Company or, if applicable, at the time the discounted price applicable to the relevant Share Termination Units is determined pursuant to Section 9(k)(i).
Share Termination Delivery   
Unit:    One Share or, if the Shares have changed into cash or any other property or the right to receive cash or any other property as the result of a Nationalization, Insolvency or Merger Event (any such cash or other property, the “ Exchange Property ”), a unit consisting of the type and amount of Exchange Property received by a holder of one Share (without consideration of any requirement to pay cash or other consideration in lieu of fractional amounts of any securities) in such Nationalization, Insolvency or Merger Event. If such Nationalization, Insolvency or Merger Event involves a choice of Exchange Property to be received by holders, such holder shall be deemed to have elected to receive the maximum possible amount of cash.
Failure to Deliver:    Inapplicable
Other applicable   
provisions:    If Share Termination Alternative is applicable, the provisions of Sections 9.8, 9.9, 9.11 and 9.12 (as modified above) of the Equity Definitions will be applicable, except that all references in such provisions to “Physically-settled” shall be read as references to “Share Termination Settled” and all references to “Shares” shall be read as references to “Share Termination Delivery Units”. “Share Termination Settled” in relation to the Transaction means that the Share Termination Alternative is applicable to the Transaction.

 

  (k)

Registration/Private Placement Procedures . If, in the reasonable opinion of Dealer, following any delivery of Shares or Share Termination Delivery Property to Dealer hereunder, such Shares or Share Termination Delivery Property would be in the hands of Dealer subject to any applicable restrictions with respect to any registration or qualification requirement or prospectus delivery requirement for


  such Shares or Share Termination Delivery Property pursuant to any applicable federal or state securities law (including, without limitation, any such requirement arising under Section 5 of the Securities Act as a result of such Shares or Share Termination Delivery Property being “restricted securities”, as such term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act, or as a result of the sale of such Shares or Share Termination Delivery Property being subject to paragraph (c) of Rule 145 under the Securities Act) (such Shares or Share Termination Delivery Property, “ Restricted Shares ”), then delivery of such Restricted Shares shall be effected pursuant to either clause (i) or (ii) below at the election of Issuer, unless Dealer waives the need for registration/private placement procedures set forth in (i) and (ii) below. Notwithstanding the foregoing, solely in respect of any Daily Number of Warrants exercised or deemed exercised on any Expiration Date, Issuer shall elect, prior to the first Settlement Date for the first applicable Expiration Date, a Private Placement Settlement or Registration Settlement for all deliveries of Restricted Shares for all such Expiration Dates which election shall be applicable to all remaining Settlement Dates for such Warrants and the procedures in clause (i) or clause (ii) below shall apply for all such delivered Restricted Shares on an aggregate basis commencing after the final Settlement Date for such Warrants. The Calculation Agent shall make reasonable adjustments to settlement terms and provisions under this Confirmation to reflect a single Private Placement or Registration Settlement for such aggregate Restricted Shares delivered hereunder.

 

  (i)

If Issuer elects to settle the Transaction pursuant to this clause (i) (a “ Private Placement Settlement ”), then delivery of Restricted Shares by Issuer shall be effected in customary private placement procedures with respect to such Restricted Shares reasonably acceptable to Dealer; provided that Issuer may not elect a Private Placement Settlement if, on the date of its election, it has taken, or caused to be taken, any action that would make unavailable either the exemption pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act for the sale by Issuer to Dealer (or any affiliate designated by Dealer) of the Restricted Shares or the exemption pursuant to Section 4(a)(1) or Section 4(a)(3) of the Securities Act for resales of the Restricted Shares by Dealer (or any such affiliate of Dealer). The Private Placement Settlement of such Restricted Shares shall include customary representations, covenants, blue sky and other governmental filings and/or registrations, indemnities to Dealer, due diligence rights (for Dealer or any designated buyer of the Restricted Shares by Dealer), opinions and certificates, and such other documentation as is customary for private placement agreements, all reasonably acceptable to Dealer. In the case of a Private Placement Settlement, Dealer shall determine the appropriate discount to the Share Termination Unit Price (in the case of settlement of Share Termination Delivery Units pursuant to Section 9(j) above) or any Settlement Price (in the case of settlement of Shares pursuant to Section 2 above) applicable to such Restricted Shares in a commercially reasonable manner and appropriately adjust the number of such Restricted Shares to be delivered to Dealer hereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the


  contrary in the Agreement or this Confirmation, the date of delivery of such Restricted Shares shall be the Exchange Business Day following notice by Dealer to Issuer, of such applicable discount and the number of Restricted Shares to be delivered pursuant to this clause (i). For the avoidance of doubt, delivery of Restricted Shares shall be due as set forth in the previous sentence and not be due on the Share Termination Payment Date (in the case of settlement of Share Termination Delivery Units pursuant to Section 9(j) above) or on the Settlement Date for such Restricted Shares (in the case of settlement in Shares pursuant to Section 2 above).

 

  (ii)

If Issuer elects to settle the Transaction pursuant to this clause (ii) (a “ Registration Settlement ”), then Issuer shall promptly (but in any event no later than the beginning of the Resale Period) file and use its reasonable best efforts to make effective under the Securities Act a registration statement or supplement or amend an outstanding registration statement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Dealer, to cover the resale of such Restricted Shares in accordance with customary resale registration procedures, including covenants, conditions, representations, underwriting discounts (if applicable), commissions (if applicable), indemnities due diligence rights, opinions and certificates, and such other documentation as is customary for equity resale underwriting agreements, all reasonably acceptable to Dealer. If Dealer, in its reasonable discretion, is not satisfied with such procedures and documentation Private Placement Settlement shall apply. If Dealer is satisfied with such procedures and documentation, it shall sell the Restricted Shares pursuant to such registration statement during a period (the “ Resale Period ”) commencing on the Exchange Business Day following delivery of such Restricted Shares (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be (x) the Share Termination Payment Date in case of settlement in Share Termination Delivery Units pursuant to Section 9(j) above or (y) the Settlement Date in respect of the final Expiration Date for all Daily Number of Warrants) and ending on the earliest of (i) the Exchange Business Day on which Dealer completes the sale of all Restricted Shares or, in the case of settlement of Share Termination Delivery Units, a sufficient number of Restricted Shares so that the realized net proceeds of such sales equals or exceeds the Payment Obligation (as defined above), (ii) the date upon which all Restricted Shares have been sold or transferred pursuant to Rule 144 (or similar provisions then in force) or Rule 145(d)(2) (or any similar provision then in force) under the Securities Act and (iii) the date upon which all Restricted Shares may be sold or transferred by a non-affiliate pursuant to Rule 144 (or any similar provision then in force) or Rule 145(d)(2) (or any similar provision then in force) under the Securities Act. If the Payment Obligation exceeds the realized net proceeds from such resale, Issuer shall transfer to Dealer by the open of the regular trading session on the Exchange on the Exchange Trading Day immediately following such resale the amount of such excess (the


  Additional Amount ”) in cash or in a number of Shares (“ Make-whole Shares ”) in an amount that, based on the Settlement Price on such day (as if such day was the “Valuation Date” for purposes of computing such Settlement Price), has a dollar value equal to the Additional Amount. The Resale Period shall continue to enable the sale of the Make-whole Shares. If Issuer elects to pay the Additional Amount in Shares, the requirements and provisions for Registration Settlement shall apply. This provision shall be applied successively until the Additional Amount is equal to zero. In no event shall Issuer deliver a number of Restricted Shares greater than the Maximum Number of Shares.

 

  (iii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Issuer agrees that (A) any Restricted Shares delivered to Dealer may be transferred by and among Dealer and its affiliates and Issuer shall effect such transfer without any further action by Dealer and (B) after the period of 6 months from the Trade Date (or 1 year from the Trade Date if, at such time, informational requirements of Rule 144 (C) under the Securities Act are not satisfied with respect to Issuer) has elapsed in respect of any Restricted Shares delivered to Dealer, Issuer shall promptly remove, or cause the transfer agent for such Restricted Shares to remove, any legends referring to any such restrictions or requirements from such Restricted Shares upon request by Dealer (or such affiliate of Dealer) to Issuer or such transfer agent, without any requirement for the delivery of any certificate, consent, agreement, opinion of counsel, notice or any other document, any transfer tax stamps or payment of any other amount or any other action by Dealer (or such affiliate of Dealer). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, to the extent the provisions of Rule 144 of the Securities Act or any successor rule are amended, or the applicable interpretation thereof by the Securities and Exchange Commission or any court change after the Trade Date, the agreements of Issuer herein shall be deemed modified to the extent necessary, in the opinion of outside counsel of Issuer, to comply with Rule 144 of the Securities Act, as in effect at the time of delivery of the relevant Shares or Share Termination Delivery Property.

 

  (iv) If the Private Placement Settlement or the Registration Settlement shall not be effected as set forth in clauses (i) or (ii), as applicable, then failure to effect such Private Placement Settlement or such Registration Settlement shall constitute an Event of Default with respect to which Issuer shall be the Defaulting Party.

 

  (l)

Limit on Beneficial Ownership . Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, Dealer may not exercise any Warrant hereunder or be entitled to take delivery of any Shares deliverable hereunder, and Automatic Exercise shall not apply with respect to any Warrant hereunder, to the extent (but only to the extent) that, after such receipt of any Shares upon the exercise of such Warrant or otherwise hereunder (i) the Section 16 Percentage would exceed 7.5%, or (ii) the Share Amount would exceed the Applicable Share Limit. Any purported delivery


  hereunder shall be void and have no effect to the extent (but only to the extent) that, after such delivery, (i) the Section 16 Percentage would exceed 7.5%, or (ii) the Share Amount would exceed the Applicable Share Limit. If any delivery owed to Dealer hereunder is not made, in whole or in part, as a result of this provision, Company’s obligation to make such delivery shall not be extinguished and Company shall make such delivery as promptly as practicable after, but in no event later than one Business Day after, Dealer gives notice to Company that, after such delivery, (i) the Section 16 Percentage would not exceed 7.5%, and (ii) the Share Amount would not exceed the Applicable Share Limit.

 

  (m) Share Deliveries . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Issuer agrees that any delivery of Shares or Share Termination Delivery Property shall be effected by book-entry transfer through the facilities of DTC, or any successor depositary, if at the time of delivery, such class of Shares or class of Share Termination Delivery Property is in book-entry form at DTC or such successor depositary.

 

  (n) Waiver of Jury Trial . Each party waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any right it may have to a trial by jury in respect of any suit, action or proceeding relating to the Transaction. Each party (i) certifies that no representative, agent or attorney of the other party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other party would not, in the event of such a suit, action or proceeding, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver and (ii) acknowledges that it and the other party have been induced to enter into the Transaction, as applicable, by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications provided herein.

 

  (o) Tax Disclosure . Effective from the date of commencement of discussions concerning the Transaction, Company and each of its employees, representatives, or other agents may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of the Transaction and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to Company relating to such tax treatment and tax structure.

 

  (p) Maximum Share Delivery .

 

  (i) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Confirmation, the Agreement or the Equity Definitions, in no event will Company at any time be required to deliver a number of Shares greater than two times the Number of Warrants (the “ Maximum Number of Shares ”) to Dealer in connection with the Transaction, subject to the provisions regarding Deficit Shares in Section 9 (p)(ii).

 

  (ii)

In the event Issuer shall not have delivered to Dealer the full number of Shares or Restricted Shares otherwise deliverable by Issuer to Dealer pursuant to the terms of the Transaction because Issuer has insufficient authorized but unissued Shares (such deficit, the “ Deficit Shares ”), Issuer shall be continually obligated to deliver, from time to time, Shares or


  Restricted Shares, as the case may be, to Dealer until the full number of Deficit Shares have been delivered pursuant to this Section 9(p)(ii), when, and to the extent that, (A) Shares are repurchased, acquired or otherwise received by Company or any of its subsidiaries after the Trade Date (whether or not in exchange for cash, fair value or any other consideration), (B) authorized and unissued Shares previously reserved for issuance in respect of other transactions become no longer so reserved or (C) Issuer additionally authorizes any unissued Shares that are not reserved for other transactions; provided that in no event shall Issuer deliver any Shares or Restricted Shares to Dealer pursuant to this Section 9(p)(ii) to the extent that such delivery would cause the aggregate number of Shares and Restricted Shares delivered to Dealer to exceed the Maximum Number of Shares. Issuer shall immediately notify Dealer of the occurrence of any of the foregoing events (including the number of Shares subject to clause (A), (B) or (C) and the corresponding number of Shares or Restricted Shares, as the case may be, to be delivered) and promptly deliver such Shares or Restricted Shares, as the case may be, thereafter.

 

  (q) Right to Extend . Dealer may postpone or add, in whole or in part, any Expiration Date or any other date of valuation or delivery with respect to some or all of the relevant Warrants (in which event the Calculation Agent shall make appropriate adjustments to the Daily Number of Warrants with respect to one or more Expiration Dates) if Dealer determines, in good faith and in its commercially reasonable judgment, that such extension is reasonably necessary or appropriate to preserve Dealer’s hedging or hedge unwind activity hereunder in light of existing liquidity conditions or to enable Dealer to effect transactions with respect to Shares in connection with its hedging, hedge unwind or settlement activity hereunder in a manner that would, if Dealer were Issuer or an affiliated purchaser of Issuer, be in compliance with applicable legal, regulatory or self-regulatory requirements, or with related policies and procedures applicable to Dealer.

 

  (r) Status of Claims in Bankruptcy . Dealer acknowledges and agrees that this Confirmation is not intended to convey to Dealer rights against Issuer with respect to the Transaction that are senior to the claims of common stock shareholders of Issuer in any Dutch or United States bankruptcy proceedings of Issuer; provided that nothing herein shall limit or shall be deemed to limit Dealer’s right to pursue remedies in the event of a breach by Issuer of its obligations and agreements with respect to the Transaction other than during any such bankruptcy proceedings; provided further that nothing herein shall limit or shall be deemed to limit Dealer’s rights in respect of any transactions other than the Transaction

  (t) Wall Street Transparency and Accountability Act . In connection with Section 739 of the Wall Street Transparency and Accountability Act of 2010 (“ WSTAA ”), the parties hereby agree that neither the enactment of WSTAA or any regulation under the WSTAA, nor any requirement under WSTAA or an amendment made by WSTAA, shall limit or otherwise impair either party’s otherwise applicable rights to terminate, renegotiate, modify, amend or supplement this Confirmation or the Agreement, as applicable, arising from a termination event, force majeure, illegality, increased costs, regulatory change or similar event under this Confirmation, the Equity Definitions incorporated herein, or the Agreement (including, but not limited to, rights arising from Change in Law, Hedging Disruption, Increased Cost of Hedging, an Excess Ownership Position, or Illegality (as defined in the Agreement)).

 

  (u) Agreements and Acknowledgements Regarding Hedging . Issuer understands, acknowledges and agrees that: (A) at any time on and prior to the last Expiration Date, Dealer and its affiliates may buy or sell Shares or other securities or buy or sell options or futures contracts or enter into swaps or other derivative securities in order to adjust its hedge position with respect to the Transaction; (B) Dealer and its affiliates also may be active in the market for Shares other than in connection with hedging activities in relation to the Transaction; (C) Dealer shall make its own determination as to whether, when or in what manner any hedging or market activities in securities of Issuer shall be conducted and shall do so in a manner that it deems appropriate to hedge its price and market risk with respect to the Settlement Prices; and (D) any market activities of Dealer and its affiliates with respect to Shares may affect the market price and volatility of Shares, as well as the Settlement Prices, each in a manner that may be adverse to Issuer.

 

  (v) Early Unwind . In the event the sale of the “Underwritten” Securities” (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) is not consummated with the Initial Purchasers for any reason by 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Premium Payment Date, or such later date as agreed upon by the parties (the Premium Payment Date or such later date the “ Early Unwind Date ”), the Transaction shall automatically terminate (the “ Early Unwind ”), on the Early Unwind Date and (i) the Transaction and all of the respective rights and obligations of Dealer and Company under the Transaction shall be cancelled and terminated and (ii) each party shall be released and discharged by the other party from and agrees not to make any claim against the other party with respect to any obligations or liabilities of the other party arising out of and to be performed in connection with the Transaction either prior to or after the Early Unwind Date. Each of Dealer and Company represents and acknowledges to the other that, subject to the proviso included in this Section 9(v), upon an Early Unwind, all obligations with respect to the Transaction shall be deemed fully and finally discharged.


  (w) Payment by Dealer . In the event that (i) an Early Termination Date occurs or is designated with respect to the Transaction as a result of a Termination Event or an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default arising under Section 5(a)(ii) or 5(a)(iv) of the Agreement) and, as a result, Dealer owes to Company an amount calculated under Section 6(e) of the Agreement, or (ii) Dealer owes to Company, pursuant to Section 12.7 or Section 12.9 of the Equity Definitions, an amount calculated under Section 12.8 of the Equity Definitions, such amount shall be deemed to be zero.

Notwithstanding any other provision in this Confirmation to the contrary requiring or allowing Dealer to purchase, sell, receive or deliver any Shares or other securities to or from Company or Issuer, as applicable, Dealer may designate any of its affiliates to purchase, sell, receive or deliver such Shares or other securities and otherwise to perform Dealer obligations in respect of the Transaction and any such designee may assume such obligations. Dealer shall be discharged of its obligations to Company to the extent of any such performance.

 

  (y) Non-US Merger Transactions . Issuer shall not enter into or consummate any Non-US Merger Transaction unless the successor Issuer immediately following such Non-US Merger Transaction either (x) repeats to Dealer immediately following such Non-US Merger Transaction the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 8(a), 8(b), 8(c) and 8(d) of this Confirmation (as if references therein to (i) “execute, deliver” were replaced with “assume”, (ii) “execution, delivery” and “execution and delivery” were replaced with “assumption” and (iii) “executed and delivered” were replaced with “assumed”) or (y) solely in the case of the Tornier Merger Transaction, executes and delivers to Dealer an amendment to this Confirmation substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto within the time period set forth under Section 9(h)(ii)(G) above. For the avoidance of doubt, clause (x) of this paragraph shall not apply to the Permitted Tornier Merger Transaction.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Confirmation if (a) at or prior to the Tornier Merger Transaction, (1) Issuer enters into or consummates any Non-US Merger Transaction pursuant to which Issuer following such Non-US Merger Transaction is not a U.S. Entity (or, solely in the case of the Tornier Merger Transaction that occurs prior to the Cut-Off Date, not a Dutch public limited company or an entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes organized and existing under the laws of the Netherlands), (2) Company ceases to be a corporation organized under the laws of the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia that is Issuer (except solely as a result of the Tornier Merger Transaction that occurs prior to the Cut-Off Date), or (3) Issuer enters into or consummates any Non-US Merger Transaction and does not comply with the requirements of the immediately previous paragraph of this Section 9(y), or (b) after the Tornier Merger Transaction, (1) Issuer enters into or consummates


any Non-US Merger Transaction pursuant to which Issuer following such Non-US Merger Transaction is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than the Islands of Bermuda, the Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland, Luxembourg, the Republic of Ireland, Canada or the United Kingdom that also becomes Company hereunder, (2) Company ceases to be Issuer or (3) Issuer enters into or consummates any Non-US Merger Transaction and does not comply with the requirements of the immediately previous paragraph of this Section 9(y), then, in any such case of clauses (a) and (b), such transaction or event shall constitute an Additional Termination Event applicable to the Transaction and, with respect to such Additional Termination Event, (A) Company shall be deemed to be the sole Affected Party, (B) the Transaction shall be the sole Affected Transaction and (C) Dealer shall be the party entitled to designate an Early Termination Date pursuant to Section 6(b) of the Agreement.

If, at any time following the occurrence of any Non-US Merger Transaction (other than the Permitted Tornier Merger Transaction), Dealer determines in good faith that (x) such Non-US Merger Transaction has had an adverse effect on Dealer’s rights and obligations under the Transaction or (y) Dealer would incur an increased amount of tax, duty, expense or fee to (1) acquire, establish, re-establish, substitute, maintain, unwind or dispose of any transaction(s) or asset(s) it deems necessary to hedge the economic risk of entering into and performing its obligations with respect to the Transaction, or (2) realize, recover or remit the proceeds of any such transaction(s) or asset(s) (each of the events described in clause (x) and clause (y) above, a “ Non-US Merger Event ”), then, in either case, Dealer shall give notice to Company of such Non-US Merger Event. Concurrently with delivering such notice, Dealer shall give notice to Company of a Price Adjustment that Dealer reasonably and in good faith determines appropriate to account for the economic effect on the Transaction of such Non-US Merger Event (unless Dealer determines that no Price Adjustment will produce a commercially reasonably result, in which case Dealer shall so notify Company). Unless Dealer determines in good faith that no Price Adjustment will produce a commercially reasonably result, within one Scheduled Trading Day of receipt of such notice, Company shall notify Dealer that it elects to (A) agree to amend the Transaction to take into account such Price Adjustment or (B) pay Dealer an amount determined by Dealer that corresponds to such Price Adjustment (and, in each case, Company shall repeat the representation set forth in Section 8(g) of this Confirmation (which representation is confirmed to Dealer in writing by Issuer, if other than Company) as of the date of such election). If Company fails to give such notice to Dealer of its election in accordance with the foregoing by the end of that first Scheduled Trading Day, or if Dealer determines that no Price Adjustment will produce a commercially reasonably result, then such failure or such determination, as the case may be, shall constitute an Additional Termination Event applicable to the Transaction (it being understood that in the case of a Non-US Merger Event solely pursuant to clause (x) of the definition thereof, such determination shall constitute an Additional Termination Event only if the relevant adverse effect may have a material impact on Dealer’s rights and obligations under the Transaction, as determined by Dealer in good faith) and,


with respect to such Additional Termination Event, (1) Company shall be deemed to be the sole Affected Party, (2) the Transaction shall be the sole Affected Transaction and (3) Dealer shall be the party entitled to designate an Early Termination Date pursuant to Section 6(b) of the Agreement.

For the avoidance of doubt, the parties hereto agree and acknowledge that (I) the occurrence of an Non-US Merger Event shall not preclude the occurrence of one or more additional, subsequent Non-US Merger Events and (II) if a Non-US Merger Event occurs, Dealer will determine, in its sole discretion, whether to exercise its rights under the provisions of this Section 9(y) and/or the rights and remedies of Dealer and its affiliates under any other provision of this Confirmation, the Equity Definitions and the Agreement.

 

  (z) Changes to Par Value . Company will promptly notify Dealer of any change to the par value of the ordinary shares of Tornier.

 

  (aa) Non-Occurrence of Tornier Merger Transaction . If as of the Cut-Off Date both (i) the Tornier Merger Transaction has not occurred and (ii) equity securities issued by a Dutch public limited company or an entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes organized and existing under the laws of the Netherlands have not otherwise become included in the “Shares” hereunder, then Dealer will, within 3 Currency Business Days of the Cut-Off Date, pay to Company an amount in EUR equal to EUR 275,508.00.

Dealer shall be obliged to make the Par Value Payment to the extent set forth in Section 1(b) of an amendment to this Confirmation substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto (it being understood that Dealer will not be obliged to make such Par Value Payment to the extent Dealer makes the payment required pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph).

 

  (bb) Certain Restricted Transactions . During the period commencing on, and including, the Trade Date and ending when Wright Medical Group N.V. executes and delivers to Dealer an amendment to this Confirmation substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A hereto, Company shall not, without Dealer’s prior written consent, sell, convey, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of a material amount of its, or its subsidiaries’, properties or assets to Tornier or its affiliates provided, however , that nothing in this subsection (bb) shall require the consent of the Dealer to consummate the Permitted Tornier Merger Transaction. For purposes of the preceding sentence, a material amount of the Company’s, or its subsidiaries’, properties or assets shall be deemed to be 15% or more on an aggregated basis of the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ properties and assets.

 

  (cc) Notice of Certain Events . Promptly following the public announcement by Issuer of any Potential Adjustment Event, Company shall notify Dealer of such public announcement; provided , however , that Company’s failure to notify Dealer of such public announcement shall not constitute an Event of Default or Termination Event to the extent Company pays to Dealer an amount in EUR equal to the Relevant Excess Amount, if any, corresponding to such Potential Adjustment Event.


  (dd) Method of Delivery . Whenever delivery of funds or other assets is required hereunder by or to Counterparty, such delivery shall be effected through DBSI. In addition, all notices, demands and communications of any kind relating to the Transaction between Deutsche and Counterparty shall be transmitted exclusively through DBSI.

The purpose of this Amendment to the Confirmation (this “ Amendment ”) is to amend certain terms and conditions of the Transaction (as defined below). Reference is made to the letter agreement dated as of February 9, 2015 (the “ Confirmation ”) that confirms the terms and conditions of the Warrants issued by the Company to the Dealer as of the Trade Date, as amended hereby (the “ Transaction ”). Capitalized terms used herein but not defined herein shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Confirmation; provided that if such meaning is amended thereby, such amended meaning shall apply.


On [            ], 2015 at [        ] [a.m.] / [p.m.], Company and [Wright Medical Group N.V.] 1 (which was previously known as Tornier N.V., the “ Parent ”) completed the Tornier Merger Transaction.

(“DBSI”) HAS ACTED SOLELY AS AGENT IN CONNECTION WITH THE TRANSACTION AND HAS NO OBLIGATION, BY WAY OF ISSUANCE, ENDORSEMENT, GUARANTEE OR OTHERWISE WITH RESPECT TO THE PERFORMANCE OF EITHER PARTY UNDER THE TRANSACTION. AS SUCH, ALL DELIVERY OF FUNDS, ASSETS, NOTICES, DEMANDS AND COMMUNICATIONS OF ANY KIND RELATING TO THIS TRANSACTION BETWEEN DEUTSCHE BANK AG, LONDON BRANCH, AND COUNTERPARTY SHALL BE TRANSMITTED EXCLUSIVELY THROUGH DEUTSCHE BANK SECURITIES INC. DEUTSCHE BANK AG, LONDON BRANCH IS NOT A MEMBER OF THE SECURITIES INVESTOR PROTECTION CORPORATION (SIPC).

In consideration of the premises and the agreements, provisions and covenants contained in this Amendment, Company, Dealer and Parent hereby agree as follows:

 

1. Assignment and Assumption .

 

  (a) For an agreed consideration, the Company hereby assigns to the Parent, and the Parent hereby irrevocably assumes from the Company, as of the date hereof, all the obligations of Company under the Confirmation and all the obligations of the “Issuer” (with the meaning of such term amended in accordance with Section 2(a) below) under the Confirmation, provided that the representations and warranties of the Company in Section 8 of the Confirmation shall be replaced by the representations and warranties of the Parent in Section 3 of this Amendment. From and after the date hereof, Parent shall assume and succeed to the obligation of the Company to make due and punctual payment and delivery of all payment and delivery obligations under the Confirmation and the performance and observation of every covenant or other obligation on the part of the Company and/or the Issuer to be performed or observed by it.

 

  (b) On or prior to the Currency Business Day immediately following the date hereof, the Dealer shall transfer to the Parent a cash amount in Euros (the “ Par Value Payment ”) equal to the product of (i) a number of Shares equal to the Number of Warrants multiplied by the Warrant Entitlement, subject to any adjustments made to such numbers by the Calculation Agent on or prior to the date of such payment, and (ii) the par value per Share as of such date. Such Par Value Payment shall constitute an advance payment for purposes of paying up the Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants. Upon receipt, Parent shall reserve the Par Value Payment and apply the Par Value Payment against the obligation to pay-up the Shares upon exercise of the Warrants. To the extent that the Par Value Payment exceeds the aggregate nominal value of the Shares issued upon exercise of the Warrants, then such excess shall be regarded as share premium.

  (b) Neither the execution and delivery of this Amendment nor the incurrence or performance of obligations of Parent hereunder will conflict with or result in a breach of the articles of association of Parent, or any applicable law or regulation, or any order, writ, injunction or decree of any court or governmental authority or agency, or any agreement or instrument to which Parent or any of its subsidiaries is a party or by which Parent or any of its subsidiaries is bound or to which Parent or any of its subsidiaries is subject, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation of any lien under, any such agreement or instrument.

  (f) Parent is an “eligible contract participant” (as such term is defined in Section 1a(18) of the Commodity Exchange Act, as amended, other than a person that is an eligible contract participant under Section 1a(18) (C) of the Commodity Exchange Act).

 

  (g) Parent and each of its affiliates are not, on the date hereof, in possession of any material non-public information with respect to Parent or the Shares.

 

  (h) No state or local (including any non-U.S. jurisdiction’s) law, rule, regulation or regulatory order applicable to the Shares would give rise to any reporting, consent, registration or other requirement (including without limitation a requirement to obtain prior approval from any person or entity), except for the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act and rules promulgated thereunder, or, at and after the Tornier Merger Transaction, the reporting or registration requirements of the Dutch Corporate Income Tax Act 1969 (Wet op de vennootschapsbelasting 1969), in each case, as a result of Dealer or its affiliates owning or holding (however defined) Shares.

4. Other Provisions .

 

  (a) Opinions .

Parent shall deliver to Dealer an opinion of counsel, dated as of the date hereof, with respect to the matters set forth in Sections 3(a) through (d) of this Amendment. Delivery of such opinion to Dealer shall be a condition precedent for the purpose of Section 2(a)(iii) of the Agreement with respect to each obligation of Dealer under Section 2(a)(i) of the Agreement.

 

  (b) Repurchase Notices . The first sentence of Section 9(b) of the Confirmation is replaced with the following sentence:

“Issuer shall, on any day on which Issuer effects any repurchase of Shares, promptly give Dealer a written notice of such repurchase (a “ Repurchase Notice ”) on such day if following such repurchase, the number of outstanding Shares on such day, subject to any adjustments provided herein, is (i) less than [        ] 3  million (in the case of the first such notice) or (ii) thereafter more than [        ] 4  million less than the number of Shares included in the immediately preceding Repurchase Notice.”.

 

  (c) Additional Termination Events . Section 9(h)(ii) of the Confirmation is hereby amended by inserting the following clause (J) at the end thereof:

(J) On any day during the period from and including the date hereof, to and including the final Expiration Date, (I) the Notional Unwind Shares (as defined below) as of such day exceeds a number of Shares equal to 90.0% of the Par Value Delivery Number, or (II) Company makes a public announcement of any transaction or event that, in the reasonable opinion of Dealer would, upon consummation of such transaction or upon the occurrence of such event, as applicable, and after giving effect to any applicable adjustments hereunder, cause the Notional Unwind Shares immediately following the consummation of such transaction or the occurrence of such event to exceed a number of Shares equal to 90.0% of the Par Value Delivery Number. The “ Notional Unwind Shares ” as of any day is a number of Shares equal to (1) the amount that would be payable pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement (determined as of such day as if an Early Termination Date had been designated in respect of the Transaction and as if the Company were the sole Affected Party and the Transaction were the sole Affected Transaction), divided by (2) the Settlement Price (determined as if such day were a Valuation Date). “ Par Value Delivery Number ” means a number of Shares equal to (i) the Par Value Payment divided by (ii) the par value per Share.

 

3   Insert the number of Shares outstanding that would cause Dealer’s current position in the Warrants (including the number of Warrants if the greenshoe is exercised in full, and any warrants under pre-existing warrant transactions with Issuer) to increase by 0.5%.
4   Insert the number of Shares that, if repurchased, would cause Dealer’s current position in the Warrants (including the number of Warrants if the greenshoe is exercised in full, and any warrants under pre-existing warrant transactions with Issuer) to increase by a further 0.5% from the threshold for the first Repurchase Notice.


  (d) Alternative Calculations and Payment on Early Termination and on Certain Extraordinary Events . Section 9(j)(b) of the Confirmation is replaced in its entirety with the following new Section 9(j)(b):

  (e) Status of Claims in Bankruptcy . Section 9(r) of the Confirmation is replaced in its entirety with the following new Section 9(r):

Status of Claims in Bankruptcy. Dealer acknowledges and agrees that this Confirmation is not intended to convey to Dealer rights against Issuer with respect to the Transaction that are senior to the claims of shareholders of Issuer in any bankruptcy proceedings of Issuer; provided that nothing herein shall limit or shall be deemed to limit Dealer’s right to pursue remedies in the event of a breach by Issuer of its obligations and agreements with respect to the Transaction other than during any such bankruptcy proceedings; provided further that nothing herein shall limit or shall be deemed to limit Dealer’s rights in respect of any transactions other than the Transaction.”.

 

  (f) Non-Occurrence of Tornier Merger Transaction . Sections 9(aa) and 9(bb) of the Confirmation are hereby deleted in their entirety and replaced with “[Reserved]”.

 

  (g) Maximum Share Delivery . Section 9(p)(ii) of the Confirmation is replaced in its entirety with the following new Section 9(p)(ii):

In the event Issuer shall not have issued to Dealer the full number of Shares or Restricted Shares otherwise to be issued by Issuer to Dealer pursuant to the terms of the Transaction because Issuer has insufficient authorized capital to issue the full number of Shares or Restricted Shares (such deficit, the “ Deficit Shares ”), Issuer shall be continually obligated to transfer, from time to time, Shares or Restricted Shares, as the case may be, to Dealer until the full number of Deficit Shares have been transferred pursuant to this Section 9(p)(ii), when, and to the extent that Shares are repurchased, acquired or otherwise received by Company or any of its subsidiaries after the Trade Date (whether or not in exchange for cash, fair value or any other consideration), provided that in no event shall Issuer transfer any Shares or Restricted Shares to Dealer pursuant to this Section 9(p)(ii) to the extent that such transfer would cause the aggregate number of Shares and Restricted Shares transferred to Dealer to exceed the Maximum Number of Shares. Issuer shall immediately notify Dealer of the occurrence of any of the foregoing events (including the number of Shares that are repurchased, acquired or otherwise received by Company or any of its subsidiaries after the Trade Date and the corresponding number of Shares or Restricted Shares, as the case may be, to be transferred) and promptly transfer such Shares or Restricted Shares, as the case may be, thereafter.


5. Share Issue . Dealer acknowledges that to the extent (but solely to the extent) the issue of a Share hereunder would result in (i) the amount in EUR equal to the product of (x) the aggregate number of Shares issued to Dealer pursuant hereto and (y) the par value per Share to exceed (ii) the aggregate amount in EUR paid to Parent in connection with the Transaction (whether pursuant to the Par Value Payment or otherwise paid to Parent for purposes of paying up the aggregate par value of the Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, and whether on the date of issue or delivery of such Share or at such prior time as Dealer may elect), Parent will not be required to issue such Share unless and until Dealer pays such amounts to the Parent as a payment ( volstorting ) on such Share as required to eliminate such excess or otherwise takes such steps (if any) as required under Dutch law to give effect to such issue. If any issue and/or delivery owed to Dealer under the Transaction is not made, in whole or in part, as a result of this provision, Parent’s obligation to make such issue and/or delivery shall not be extinguished and Parent shall make such issue and delivery as promptly as practicable after, but in no event later than one Business Day after, Dealer (whether on or after the original date of issue and delivery of the relevant Share) pays such amounts to the Parent as a payment ( volstorting ) on such Share as required under this provision to give effect to such issue or otherwise takes such steps (if any) as required under Dutch law to give effect to such issue.

 

6. Scope of the Amendment . This Amendment amends solely the terms and provisions of the Transaction and the Confirmation set forth herein and nothing in this Amendment is intended or shall be construed as amending or waiving any other terms or provisions of the Transaction, the Confirmation or any other rights of the Company or Dealer under the Transaction or the Confirmation. Company, Parent and Dealer acknowledge that each of the Transaction and the Confirmation (each as amended by this Amendment) are in full force and effect and is hereby confirmed and ratified in all respects. References in the Confirmation to the Transaction or the Confirmation shall mean the Transaction or the Confirmation as amended by this Amendment.

 

7. Governing Law . This Amendment will be governed by and construed in accordance with laws of the State of New York (without reference to choice of law doctrine).

 

8. Waiver of Jury Trial . Each party waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any right it may have to a trial by jury in respect of any suit, action or proceeding relating to the Transaction, as amended by this Amendment. Each party (i) certifies that no representative, agent or attorney of any party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other party would not, in the event of such a suit, action or proceeding, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver and (ii) acknowledges that it and the other parties have been induced to enter into the Transaction, as amended by this Amendment, as applicable, by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications provided herein.

 

9. Counterparts . This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument.

   Each Exercise Date.
Settlement Terms .   

Settlement Method:

   Net Share Settlement.

Net Share Settlement:

   On the relevant Settlement Date, Company shall deliver to Dealer a number of Shares equal to the Share Delivery Quantity for such Settlement Date to the account specified herein free of payment through the Clearance System, and Dealer shall be treated as the holder of record of such Shares at the time of delivery of such Shares or, if earlier, at 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on such Settlement Date, and Company shall pay to Dealer cash in lieu of any fractional Share based on the Settlement Price on the relevant Valuation Date.

Share Delivery Quantity:

   For any Settlement Date, a number of Shares, as calculated by the Calculation Agent, equal to the Net Share Settlement Amount for such Settlement Date divided by the Settlement Price on the Valuation Date for such Settlement Date.


Net Share Settlement Amount:

   For any Settlement Date, an amount equal to the product of (i) the number of Warrants exercised or deemed exercised on the relevant Exercise Date, (ii) the Strike Price Differential for the relevant Valuation Date and (iii) the Warrant Entitlement.

Settlement Price:

   For any Valuation Date, the per Share volume-weighted average price as displayed under the heading “Bloomberg VWAP” on Bloomberg page WMGI <equity> AQR (or any successor thereto) in respect of the period from the scheduled opening time of the Exchange to the Scheduled Closing Time on such Valuation Date (or if such volume-weighted average price is unavailable, the market value of one Share on such Valuation Date, as determined by the Calculation Agent). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (i) any Expiration Date is a Disrupted Day and (ii) the Calculation Agent determines that such Expiration Date shall be an Expiration Date for fewer than the Daily Number of Warrants, as described above, then the Settlement Price for the relevant Valuation Date shall be the volume-weighted average price per Share on such Valuation Date on the Exchange, as determined by the Calculation Agent based on such sources as it deems appropriate using a volume-weighted methodology, for the portion of such Valuation Date for which the Calculation Agent determines there is no Market Disruption Event.

Settlement Dates:

   As determined pursuant to Section 9.4 of the Equity Definitions, subject to Section 9(k)(i) hereof.

Other Applicable Provisions:

   The provisions of Sections 9.1(c), 9.8, 9.9, 9.11 (except that, with respect to any Private Placement Settlement, the Representation and Agreement contained in Section 9.11 of the Equity Definitions shall be modified by excluding any representations therein relating to restrictions, obligations, limitations or requirements under applicable securities laws arising as a result of the fact that Seller is the Issuer of the Shares) and 9.12 of the Equity Definitions will be applicable, except that all references in such provisions to “Physically-settled” shall be read as references to “Net Share Settled.” “Net Share Settled” in relation to any Warrant means that Net Share Settlement is applicable to that Warrant.

Representation and Agreement:

   Notwithstanding Section 9.11 of the Equity Definitions, the parties acknowledge that any Shares delivered to Dealer may be, upon delivery, subject to restrictions and limitations arising from Issuer’s status as issuer of the Shares under applicable securities laws.


3. Additional Terms applicable to the Transaction .

 

Adjustments applicable to the Transaction:

  (b) Neither the execution and delivery of this Confirmation nor the incurrence or performance of obligations of Company hereunder will conflict with or result in a breach of the certificate of incorporation or by-laws (or any equivalent documents) of Company, or any applicable law or regulation, or any order, writ, injunction or decree of any court or governmental authority or agency, or any agreement or instrument to which Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party or by which Company or any of its subsidiaries is bound or to which Company or any of its subsidiaries is subject, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation of any lien under, any such agreement or instrument.

 

  (c) No consent, approval, authorization, or order of, or filing with, any governmental agency or body or any court is required in connection with the execution, delivery or performance by Company of this Confirmation, except such as have been obtained or made and such as may be required under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ Securities Act ”) or state securities laws.

 

  (d)

A number of Shares equal to the Maximum Number of Shares (as defined below) (the “ Warrant Shares ”) have been reserved for issuance by all required corporate action of Issuer. The Warrant Shares have been duly authorized and, when delivered against payment therefor (which may include Net Share Settlement in lieu of cash) and otherwise as contemplated by the terms of the Warrants following the exercise of the Warrants in accordance with the terms and


  conditions of the Warrants, will be validly issued, fully-paid and non-assessable, and the issuance of the Warrant Shares will not be subject to any preemptive or similar rights and the Warrant Shares shall upon issuance (subject to notice of issuance) be accepted for listing or quotation on the Exchange.

 

  (e) Company is not and, after consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, will not be required to register as an “investment company” as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

Opinions . In connection with the entry into or consummation of any Non-US Merger Transaction (as defined below) (other than the Permitted Tornier Merger Transaction), Issuer shall deliver to Dealer an opinion of counsel (subject to customary qualifications, assumptions and exceptions), dated as of the date of such Non-US Merger Transaction, with respect to the matters set forth in Sections 8(a), 8(b), 8(c) and 8(d) of this Confirmation (as if references therein to (i) “execute, deliver” were replaced with “assume”, (ii) “execution, delivery” and “execution and delivery” were replaced with “assumption” and (iii) “executed and delivered” were replaced with “assumed”). “ Non-US Merger Transaction ” means any Merger Event, reincorporation of Issuer, corporate inversion of Issuer or similar transaction pursuant to which (x) the consideration for the Shares


  includes (or, at the option of a holder of Shares, may include) shares of an entity or person that is not a corporation or is not organized under the laws of the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia or (y) the Issuer following such Merger Event, reincorporation of Issuer or corporate inversion of Issuer is organized in a jurisdiction other than the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia.

 

  (b)

Repurchase Notices . Issuer shall, on any day on which Issuer effects any repurchase of Shares, promptly give Dealer a written notice of such repurchase (a “ Repurchase Notice ”) on such day if following such repurchase, the number of outstanding Shares on such day, subject to any adjustments provided herein, is (i) less than 49,827,871 (in the case of the first such notice) or (ii) thereafter more than 1,183,002 less than the number of Shares included in the immediately preceding Repurchase Notice. Issuer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Dealer and its affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, affiliates, advisors, agents and controlling persons (each, an “ Indemnified Person ”) from and against any and all losses (including losses relating to Dealer’s hedging activities as a consequence of becoming, or of the risk of becoming, a Section 16 “insider”, including without limitation, any forbearance from hedging activities or cessation of hedging activities and any losses in connection therewith with respect to the Transaction), claims, damages, judgments, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees), joint or several, which an Indemnified Person actually may become subject to, as a result of Issuer’s failure to provide Dealer with a Repurchase Notice on the day and in the manner specified in this paragraph, and to reimburse, within 30 days, upon written request, each of such Indemnified Persons for any reasonable legal or other expenses incurred in connection with investigating, preparing for, providing testimony or other evidence in connection with or defending any of the foregoing. If any suit, action, proceeding (including any governmental or regulatory investigation), claim or demand shall be brought or asserted against the Indemnified Person, such Indemnified Person shall promptly notify Issuer in writing, and Issuer, upon request of the Indemnified Person, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person to represent the Indemnified Person and any others Issuer may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel related to such proceeding. Issuer shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, Issuer agrees to indemnify any Indemnified Person from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Issuer shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Person, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Person is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding on terms reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person. If the indemnification provided for in this paragraph is unavailable to an Indemnified Person or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or


  liabilities referred to therein, then Issuer under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Person thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Person as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities. The remedies provided for in this paragraph are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any Indemnified Person at law or in equity. The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this paragraph shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the termination of the Transaction.

 

  (c) Regulation M . Issuer is not on the Trade Date engaged in a distribution, as such term is used in Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “ Exchange Act ”), of any securities of Issuer, other than a distribution meeting the requirements of the exception set forth in Rules 101(b)(10) and 102(b)(7) of Regulation M. Issuer shall not, until the second Scheduled Trading Day immediately following the Effective Date, engage in any such distribution.

 

  (d) No Manipulation . Issuer is not entering into the Transaction to create actual or apparent trading activity in the Shares (or any security convertible into or exchangeable for the Shares) or to raise or depress or otherwise manipulate the price of the Shares (or any security convertible into or exchangeable for the Shares) or otherwise in violation of the Exchange Act.

 

  (e)

Transfer or Assignment . Company may not transfer any of its rights or obligations under the Transaction without the prior written consent of Dealer; provided, however , without limitation of any other provision hereof, that the consummation of the Permitted Tornier Merger Transaction shall not be deemed to be a transfer or assignment of the Company’s rights and obligations under the Transaction. Dealer may, without Company’s or Issuer’s (if other than Company) consent, transfer or assign all or any part of its rights or obligations under the Transaction to any third party; provided , however , that the transferee or assignee shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment of additional amounts under Section 2(d)(i)(4) of the Agreement than Dealer would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Tax Law that occurs after the date of the transfer or assignment. If at any time at which (A) the Section 16 Percentage exceeds 7.5%, (B) the Warrant Equity Percentage exceeds 14.5%, or (C) the Share Amount exceeds the Applicable Share Limit (if any applies) (any such condition described in clauses (A), (B) or (C), an “ Excess Ownership Position ”), Dealer is unable after using its commercially reasonable efforts to effect a transfer or assignment of Warrants to a third party on pricing terms reasonably acceptable to Dealer and within a time period reasonably acceptable to Dealer such that no Excess Ownership Position exists, then Dealer may designate any Exchange Business Day as an Early Termination Date with respect to a portion of the Transaction (the “ Terminated Portion ”), such that following such partial termination no Excess Ownership Position exists. In the event that Dealer so designates an Early Termination Date with respect to a Terminated Portion, a payment shall be made


  pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement as if (1) an Early Termination Date had been designated in respect of a Transaction having terms identical to the Transaction and a Number of Warrants equal to the number of Warrants underlying the Terminated Portion, (2) Company were the sole Affected Party with respect to such partial termination and (3) the Terminated Portion were the sole Affected Transaction (and, for the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of Section 9(j) shall apply to any amount that is payable by Company to Dealer pursuant to this sentence as if Company was not the Affected Party). The “ Section 16 Percentage ” as of any day is the fraction, expressed as a percentage, (A) the numerator of which is the number of Shares that Dealer and each person subject to aggregation of Shares with Dealer under Section 13 or Section 16 of the Exchange Act and rules promulgated thereunder directly or indirectly beneficially own (as defined under Section 13 or Section 16 of the Exchange Act and rules promulgated thereunder) and (B) the denominator of which is the number of Shares outstanding. The “ Warrant Equity Percentage ” as of any day is the fraction, expressed as a percentage, (A) the numerator of which is the sum of (1) the product of the Number of Warrants and the Warrant Entitlement and (2) the aggregate number of Shares underlying any other warrants purchased by Dealer from Company or Issuer, as applicable, and (B) the denominator of which is the number of Shares outstanding. The “ Share Amount ” as of any day is the number of Shares that Dealer and any person whose ownership position would be aggregated with that of Dealer (Dealer or any such person, a “ Dealer Person ”) under any law, rule, regulation, regulatory order or organizational documents or contracts of Issuer that are, in each case, applicable to ownership of Shares (“ Applicable Restrictions ”), owns, beneficially owns, constructively owns, controls, holds the power to vote or otherwise meets a relevant definition of ownership under any Applicable Restriction, as determined by Dealer in its reasonable discretion. The “ Applicable Share Limit ” means a number of Shares equal to (A) the minimum number of Shares that could give rise to reporting or registration obligations or other requirements (including obtaining prior approval from any person or entity) of a Dealer Person, or could result in an adverse effect on a Dealer Person, under any Applicable Restriction, as determined by Dealer in its reasonable discretion, minus (B) 1% of the number of Shares outstanding. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Confirmation to the contrary requiring or allowing Dealer to purchase, sell, receive or deliver any Shares or other securities, or make or receive any payment in cash, to or from Company or Issuer, as applicable, Dealer may designate any of its affiliates to purchase, sell, receive or deliver such Shares or other securities, or make or receive such payment in cash, and otherwise to perform Dealer’s obligations in respect of the Transaction and any such designee may assume such obligations. Dealer shall be discharged of its obligations to Company or Issuer (if other than Company) to the extent of any such performance.

 

  (f)

Dividends . If at any time during the period from and including the Effective Date, to and including the last Expiration Date, an ex-dividend date for a cash dividend occurs with respect to the Shares (an “ Ex-Dividend Date ”), then the Calculation Agent will adjust any of the Strike Price, Number of Warrants, Daily Number of


  Warrants and/or any other variable relevant to the exercise, settlement or payment of the Transaction to preserve the fair value of the Warrants to Dealer after taking into account such dividend.

 

  (g) Role of Agent . The Agent is acting as Agent for Dealer. The Agent does not act as agent of Counterparty. For the avoidance of doubt, any performance by Dealer of its obligations hereunder solely to Agent shall not relieve Dealer of such obligations. Agent’s performance to Counterparty of Dealer’s obligations hereunder shall relieve Dealer of such obligations to the extent of such performance. Any performance by Counterparty of its obligations (including notice obligations) through or by means of Agent’s agency for Dealer shall constitute good performance of Counterparty’s obligations hereunder to Dealer.

contemplated pursuant to the Tornier Merger Transaction), that, in the reasonable opinion of Dealer would, upon consummation of such transaction or upon the occurrence of such event, as applicable, and after giving effect to any applicable adjustments hereunder (including, without limitation, any applicable adjustment in respect of the Tornier Merger Transaction), cause the amount in EUR equal to the product of (i) a number of Shares equal to the Number of Warrants multiplied by the Warrant Entitlement and (ii) the par value per ordinary share of Tornier to exceed EUR 41,326.00 (the amount of any such excess, the “ Relevant Excess Amount ”).

  (ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Confirmation, upon the occurrence of one of the following events, with respect to the Transaction, (1) Dealer shall have the right to designate such event an Additional Termination Event and designate an Early Termination Date pursuant to Section 6(b) of the Agreement, (2) Company shall be deemed the sole Affected Party with respect to such Additional Termination Event and (3) the Transaction, or, at the election of Dealer in its reasonable discretion, any portion of the Transaction, shall be deemed the sole Affected Transaction; provided that if Dealer so designates an Early Termination Date with respect to a portion of the Transaction, (a) a payment shall be made pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement as if an Early Termination Date had been designated in respect of a Transaction having terms identical to the Transaction and a Number of Warrants equal to the number of Warrants included in the terminated portion of the Transaction, and (b) for the avoidance of doubt, the Transaction shall remain in full force and effect except that the Number of Warrants shall be reduced by the number of Warrants included in such terminated portion:

 

  (A) A “person” or “group” within the meaning of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, other than Issuer or its subsidiaries files a Schedule TO or any schedule, form or report under the Exchange Act disclosing that such person or group has become the direct or indirect “beneficial owner,” as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act, of the common equity of Issuer representing more than 50% of the voting power of such common equity. The Permitted Tornier Merger Transaction will not constitute an Additional Termination Event pursuant to this clause (A).

 

  (B)

Consummation of (I) any recapitalization, reclassification or change of the Shares (other than changes resulting from a subdivision or combination), including resulting from the Tornier Merger Transaction (except if it constitutes the Permitted Tornier Merger Transaction), as a result of which the Shares would be converted into, or exchanged for, stock, other securities, other property or assets; (II) any share exchange, consolidation or merger of Issuer pursuant to which the Shares will be converted into cash, securities or other property; or (III) any sale, lease or other transfer in one transaction or a series of transactions of all or substantially all of the consolidated assets of Issuer and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to any person other than one of


  Issuer’s subsidiaries; provided , however , that a transaction or transactions described in this clause (B) shall not constitute an Additional Termination Event pursuant to this clause (B), if at least 90% of the consideration received or to be received by holders of the Shares, excluding cash payments for fractional Shares and cash payments made pursuant to dissenters’ appraisal rights, in connection with such transaction or transactions consists of shares of common stock (1) a U.S. Entity or (2) a corporation or entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes organized and existing under the laws of the Islands of Bermuda, the Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland, Luxembourg, the Republic of Ireland, Canada or the United Kingdom, in each case, that are listed or quoted on any of The New York Stock Exchange, The NASDAQ Global Select Market or The NASDAQ Global Market (or any of their respective successors) or will be so listed or quoted when issued or exchanged in connection with such transaction or transactions, and as a result of such transaction or transactions, the reference property for the Shares becomes such consideration, excluding cash payments for fractional Shares. For purposes of the exception described in the immediately preceding proviso, any transaction or event described under both clause (A) above and this clause (B) will be evaluated solely under this clause (B). The Permitted Tornier Merger Transaction will not constitute an Additional Termination Event pursuant to this clause (B).

 

  (C) Default by the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries with respect to any mortgage, agreement or other instrument under which there may be outstanding, or by which there may be secured or evidenced, any indebtedness for money borrowed in excess of $25 million in the aggregate of the Issuer and/or any such subsidiary, whether such indebtedness now exists or shall hereafter be created (i) resulting in such indebtedness becoming or being accelerated and declared due and payable prior to its stated maturity date or (ii) constituting a failure to pay the principal or interest of any such debt when due and payable (after the expiration of any applicable grace period) at its stated maturity, upon required repurchase, upon declaration of acceleration or otherwise; provided, however, the acceleration of any indebtedness of Parent as a result of the Permitted Tornier Merger Transaction shall not constitute an Additional Termination Event pursuant to this clause (C) if such accelerated indebtedness is repaid in full within 50 calendar days .

 

  (D) Certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency, or reorganization of the Issuer or any of its significant subsidiaries as defined in Article 1, Rule 1-02 of Regulation S-X.

The “ Cut-Off Date ” shall mean 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on September 30, 2015, which date may be extended by the Company in its sole discretion by written notice to Dealer (which notice contains a representation and warranty from Company that Company and each of its affiliates are not, on the date thereof, in possession of any material non-public information with respect to Company or the Shares) to a date not beyond December 31, 2015.

 

  (F) At or after the Effective Time of the Tornier Merger Transaction, the Company ceases to be, (1) a U.S. Entity, or (2) a corporation or entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes organized and existing under the laws of the Islands of Bermuda, the Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland, Luxembourg, the Republic of Ireland, Canada or the United Kingdom.

 

  (G) Within 90 calendar days of the Effective Time of the Tornier Merger Transaction, each of the Company and Wright Medical Group N.V. has not executed and delivered to Dealer an amendment to this Confirmation substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A hereto and/or has not delivered to Dealer the legal opinions required thereunder. For the avoidance of doubt, none of a Hedging Disruption, Increased Cost of Hedging, Loss of Stock Borrow and/or Increased Cost of Stock Borrow shall occur solely as a result of Dealer not receiving such executed amendment and legal opinions as of any day prior to the end of such 90 calendar day period.

 

  (H) Dealer, despite using commercially reasonable efforts, is unable or reasonably determines that it is impractical or illegal, to hedge its exposure with respect to the Transaction in the public market without registration under the Securities Act or as a result of any legal, regulatory or self-regulatory requirements or related policies and procedures (whether or not such requirements, policies or procedures are imposed by law or have been voluntarily adopted by Dealer).


  (i) No Collateral or Setoff . Notwithstanding any provision of the Agreement or any other agreement between the parties to the contrary, the obligations of Company hereunder are not secured by any collateral. Obligations under the Transaction shall not be set off by either party against any other obligations of the parties, whether arising under the Agreement, this Confirmation, under any other agreement between the parties hereto, by operation of law or otherwise. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event of bankruptcy or liquidation of either Company or Dealer, neither party shall have the right to set off any obligation that it may have to the other party under the Transaction against any obligation such other party may have to it, whether arising under the Agreement, this Confirmation or any other agreement between the parties hereto, by operation of law or otherwise.

 

  (j) Alternative Calculations and Payment on Early Termination and on Certain Extraordinary Events .

 

  (i) If, in respect of the Transaction, an amount is payable by Company to Dealer, (A) pursuant to Section 12.7 or Section 12.9 of the Equity Definitions or (B) pursuant to Section 6(d)(ii) of the Agreement (any such amount, a “ Payment Obligation ”), Company shall satisfy the Payment Obligation by the Share Termination Alternative (as defined below), unless (a) Company gives irrevocable telephonic notice to Dealer, confirmed in writing within one Scheduled Trading Day, no later than 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Merger Date, Tender Offer Date, Announcement Date (in the case of a Nationalization, Insolvency or Delisting), Early Termination Date or date of cancellation, as applicable, of its election that the Share Termination Alternative shall not apply, (b) Company remakes the representation set forth in Section 8(g) as of the date of such election and (c) Dealer agrees, in its sole discretion, to such election, in which case the provisions of Section 12.7 or Section 12.9 of the Equity Definitions, or the provisions of Section 6(d)(ii) of the Agreement, as the case may be, shall apply.

 

Share Termination Alternative:  
If applicable, Company shall deliver to Dealer the Share Termination Delivery Property on the date (the “ Share Termination Payment Date ”) on which the Payment Obligation would otherwise be due pursuant to Section 12.7 or Section 12.9 of the Equity Definitions or Section 6(d)(ii) of the Agreement, as applicable, subject to Section 9(k)(i) below, in satisfaction, subject to Section 9(k)(ii) below, of the relevant Payment Obligation, in the manner reasonably requested by Dealer free of payment.
 


Share Termination Delivery Property:  
A number of Share Termination Delivery Units, as calculated by the Calculation Agent, equal to the relevant Payment Obligation divided by the Share Termination Unit Price. The Calculation Agent shall adjust the amount of Share Termination Delivery Property by replacing any fractional portion of a security therein with an amount of cash equal to the value of such fractional security based on the values used to calculate the Share Termination Unit Price (without giving effect to any discount pursuant to Section 9(k)(i)).
Share Termination Unit Price:  
The value to Dealer of property contained in one Share Termination Delivery Unit on the date such Share Termination Delivery Units are to be delivered as Share Termination Delivery Property, as determined by the Calculation Agent in its discretion by commercially reasonable means. In the case of a Private Placement of Share Termination Delivery Units that are Restricted Shares (as defined below), as set forth in Section 9(k)(i) below, the Share Termination Unit Price shall be determined by the discounted price applicable to such Share Termination Delivery Units. In the case of a Registration Settlement of Share Termination Delivery Units that are Restricted Shares (as defined below) as set forth in Section 9(k)(ii) below, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Share Termination Unit Price shall be the Settlement Price on the Merger Date, Tender Offer Date, Announcement Date (in the case of a Nationalization, Insolvency or Delisting), Early Termination Date or date of cancellation, as applicable. The Calculation Agent shall notify Company of the Share Termination Unit Price at the time of notification of such Payment Obligation to Company or, if applicable, at the time the discounted price applicable to the relevant Share Termination Units is determined pursuant to Section 9(k)(i).


Share Termination Delivery Unit:  
One Share or, if the Shares have changed into cash or any other property or the right to receive cash or any other property as the result of a Nationalization, Insolvency or Merger Event (any such cash or other property, the “ Exchange Property ”), a unit consisting of the type and amount of Exchange Property received by a holder of one Share (without consideration of any requirement to pay cash or other consideration in lieu of fractional amounts of any securities) in such Nationalization, Insolvency or Merger Event. If such Nationalization, Insolvency or Merger Event involves a choice of Exchange Property to be received by holders, such holder shall be deemed to have elected to receive the maximum possible amount of cash.
Failure to Deliver:   Inapplicable
Other applicable provisions:   If Share Termination Alternative is applicable, the provisions of Sections 9.8, 9.9, 9.11 and 9.12 (as modified above) of the Equity Definitions will be applicable, except that all references in such provisions to “Physically-settled” shall be read as references to “Share Termination Settled” and all references to “Shares” shall be read as references to “Share Termination Delivery Units”. “Share Termination Settled” in relation to the Transaction means that the Share Termination Alternative is applicable to the Transaction.

 

  (k)

Registration/Private Placement Procedures . If, in the reasonable opinion of Dealer, following any delivery of Shares or Share Termination Delivery Property to Dealer hereunder, such Shares or Share Termination Delivery Property would be in the hands of Dealer subject to any applicable restrictions with respect to any registration or qualification requirement or prospectus delivery requirement for such Shares or Share Termination Delivery Property pursuant to any applicable federal or state securities law (including, without limitation, any such requirement


  arising under Section 5 of the Securities Act as a result of such Shares or Share Termination Delivery Property being “restricted securities”, as such term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act, or as a result of the sale of such Shares or Share Termination Delivery Property being subject to paragraph (c) of Rule 145 under the Securities Act) (such Shares or Share Termination Delivery Property, “ Restricted Shares ”), then delivery of such Restricted Shares shall be effected pursuant to either clause (i) or (ii) below at the election of Issuer, unless Dealer waives the need for registration/private placement procedures set forth in (i) and (ii) below. Notwithstanding the foregoing, solely in respect of any Daily Number of Warrants exercised or deemed exercised on any Expiration Date, Issuer shall elect, prior to the first Settlement Date for the first applicable Expiration Date, a Private Placement Settlement or Registration Settlement for all deliveries of Restricted Shares for all such Expiration Dates which election shall be applicable to all remaining Settlement Dates for such Warrants and the procedures in clause (i) or clause (ii) below shall apply for all such delivered Restricted Shares on an aggregate basis commencing after the final Settlement Date for such Warrants. The Calculation Agent shall make reasonable adjustments to settlement terms and provisions under this Confirmation to reflect a single Private Placement or Registration Settlement for such aggregate Restricted Shares delivered hereunder.

 

  (i)

If Issuer elects to settle the Transaction pursuant to this clause (i) (a “ Private Placement Settlement ”), then delivery of Restricted Shares by Issuer shall be effected in customary private placement procedures with respect to such Restricted Shares reasonably acceptable to Dealer; provided that Issuer may not elect a Private Placement Settlement if, on the date of its election, it has taken, or caused to be taken, any action that would make unavailable either the exemption pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act for the sale by Issuer to Dealer (or any affiliate designated by Dealer) of the Restricted Shares or the exemption pursuant to Section 4(a)(1) or Section 4(a)(3) of the Securities Act for resales of the Restricted Shares by Dealer (or any such affiliate of Dealer). The Private Placement Settlement of such Restricted Shares shall include customary representations, covenants, blue sky and other governmental filings and/or registrations, indemnities to Dealer, due diligence rights (for Dealer or any designated buyer of the Restricted Shares by Dealer), opinions and certificates, and such other documentation as is customary for private placement agreements, all reasonably acceptable to Dealer. In the case of a Private Placement Settlement, Dealer shall determine the appropriate discount to the Share Termination Unit Price (in the case of settlement of Share Termination Delivery Units pursuant to Section 9(j) above) or any Settlement Price (in the case of settlement of Shares pursuant to Section 2 above) applicable to such Restricted Shares in a commercially reasonable manner and appropriately adjust the number of such Restricted Shares to be delivered to Dealer hereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement or this Confirmation, the date of delivery of such Restricted Shares shall be the Exchange Business Day following


  notice by Dealer to Issuer, of such applicable discount and the number of Restricted Shares to be delivered pursuant to this clause (i). For the avoidance of doubt, delivery of Restricted Shares shall be due as set forth in the previous sentence and not be due on the Share Termination Payment Date (in the case of settlement of Share Termination Delivery Units pursuant to Section 9(j) above) or on the Settlement Date for such Restricted Shares (in the case of settlement in Shares pursuant to Section 2 above).

 

  (ii)

If Issuer elects to settle the Transaction pursuant to this clause (ii) (a “ Registration Settlement ”), then Issuer shall promptly (but in any event no later than the beginning of the Resale Period) file and use its reasonable best efforts to make effective under the Securities Act a registration statement or supplement or amend an outstanding registration statement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Dealer, to cover the resale of such Restricted Shares in accordance with customary resale registration procedures, including covenants, conditions, representations, underwriting discounts (if applicable), commissions (if applicable), indemnities due diligence rights, opinions and certificates, and such other documentation as is customary for equity resale underwriting agreements, all reasonably acceptable to Dealer. If Dealer, in its reasonable discretion, is not satisfied with such procedures and documentation Private Placement Settlement shall apply. If Dealer is satisfied with such procedures and documentation, it shall sell the Restricted Shares pursuant to such registration statement during a period (the “ Resale Period ”) commencing on the Exchange Business Day following delivery of such Restricted Shares (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be (x) the Share Termination Payment Date in case of settlement in Share Termination Delivery Units pursuant to Section 9(j) above or (y) the Settlement Date in respect of the final Expiration Date for all Daily Number of Warrants) and ending on the earliest of (i) the Exchange Business Day on which Dealer completes the sale of all Restricted Shares or, in the case of settlement of Share Termination Delivery Units, a sufficient number of Restricted Shares so that the realized net proceeds of such sales equals or exceeds the Payment Obligation (as defined above), (ii) the date upon which all Restricted Shares have been sold or transferred pursuant to Rule 144 (or similar provisions then in force) or Rule 145(d)(2) (or any similar provision then in force) under the Securities Act and (iii) the date upon which all Restricted Shares may be sold or transferred by a non-affiliate pursuant to Rule 144 (or any similar provision then in force) or Rule 145(d)(2) (or any similar provision then in force) under the Securities Act. If the Payment Obligation exceeds the realized net proceeds from such resale, Issuer shall transfer to Dealer by the open of the regular trading session on the Exchange on the Exchange Trading Day immediately following such resale the amount of such excess (the “ Additional Amount ”) in cash or in a number of Shares (“ Make-whole Shares ”) in an amount that, based on the Settlement Price on such day (as


  if such day was the “Valuation Date” for purposes of computing such Settlement Price), has a dollar value equal to the Additional Amount. The Resale Period shall continue to enable the sale of the Make-whole Shares. If Issuer elects to pay the Additional Amount in Shares, the requirements and provisions for Registration Settlement shall apply. This provision shall be applied successively until the Additional Amount is equal to zero. In no event shall Issuer deliver a number of Restricted Shares greater than the Maximum Number of Shares.

 

  (iii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Issuer agrees that (A) any Restricted Shares delivered to Dealer may be transferred by and among Dealer and its affiliates and Issuer shall effect such transfer without any further action by Dealer and (B) after the period of 6 months from the Trade Date (or 1 year from the Trade Date if, at such time, informational requirements of Rule 144 (C) under the Securities Act are not satisfied with respect to Issuer) has elapsed in respect of any Restricted Shares delivered to Dealer, Issuer shall promptly remove, or cause the transfer agent for such Restricted Shares to remove, any legends referring to any such restrictions or requirements from such Restricted Shares upon request by Dealer (or such affiliate of Dealer) to Issuer or such transfer agent, without any requirement for the delivery of any certificate, consent, agreement, opinion of counsel, notice or any other document, any transfer tax stamps or payment of any other amount or any other action by Dealer (or such affiliate of Dealer). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, to the extent the provisions of Rule 144 of the Securities Act or any successor rule are amended, or the applicable interpretation thereof by the Securities and Exchange Commission or any court change after the Trade Date, the agreements of Issuer herein shall be deemed modified to the extent necessary, in the opinion of outside counsel of Issuer, to comply with Rule 144 of the Securities Act, as in effect at the time of delivery of the relevant Shares or Share Termination Delivery Property.

 

  (iv) If the Private Placement Settlement or the Registration Settlement shall not be effected as set forth in clauses (i) or (ii), as applicable, then failure to effect such Private Placement Settlement or such Registration Settlement shall constitute an Event of Default with respect to which Issuer shall be the Defaulting Party.

 

  (l)

Limit on Beneficial Ownership . Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, Dealer may not exercise any Warrant hereunder or be entitled to take delivery of any Shares deliverable hereunder, and Automatic Exercise shall not apply with respect to any Warrant hereunder, to the extent (but only to the extent) that, after such receipt of any Shares upon the exercise of such Warrant or otherwise hereunder and after taking into account any Shares deliverable to Dealer under the letter agreement dated February 9, 2015 between Dealer and Company regarding Base Warrants (the “ Base Warrant Confirmation ”), (i) the Section 16 Percentage would exceed 7.5%, or (ii) the Share Amount would exceed the


  Applicable Share Limit. Any purported delivery hereunder shall be void and have no effect to the extent (but only to the extent) that, after such delivery and after taking into account any Shares deliverable to Dealer under the Base Warrant Confirmation, (i) the Section 16 Percentage would exceed 7.5%, or (ii) the Share Amount would exceed the Applicable Share Limit. If any delivery owed to Dealer hereunder is not made, in whole or in part, as a result of this provision, Company’s obligation to make such delivery shall not be extinguished and Company shall make such delivery as promptly as practicable after, but in no event later than one Business Day after, Dealer gives notice to Company that, after such delivery, (i) the Section 16 Percentage would not exceed 7.5%, and (ii) the Share Amount would not exceed the Applicable Share Limit.

 

  (m) Share Deliveries . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Issuer agrees that any delivery of Shares or Share Termination Delivery Property shall be effected by book-entry transfer through the facilities of DTC, or any successor depositary, if at the time of delivery, such class of Shares or class of Share Termination Delivery Property is in book-entry form at DTC or such successor depositary.

 

  (n) Waiver of Jury Trial . Each party waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any right it may have to a trial by jury in respect of any suit, action or proceeding relating to the Transaction. Each party (i) certifies that no representative, agent or attorney of the other party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other party would not, in the event of such a suit, action or proceeding, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver and (ii) acknowledges that it and the other party have been induced to enter into the Transaction, as applicable, by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications provided herein.

 

  (o) Tax Disclosure . Effective from the date of commencement of discussions concerning the Transaction, Company and each of its employees, representatives, or other agents may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of the Transaction and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to Company relating to such tax treatment and tax structure.

 

  (p) Maximum Share Delivery .

 

  (i) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Confirmation, the Agreement or the Equity Definitions, in no event will Company at any time be required to deliver a number of Shares greater than two times the Number of Warrants (the “ Maximum Number of Shares ”) to Dealer in connection with the Transaction, subject to the provisions regarding Deficit Shares in Section 9 (p)(ii).

 

  (ii)

In the event Issuer shall not have delivered to Dealer the full number of Shares or Restricted Shares otherwise deliverable by Issuer to Dealer pursuant to the terms of the Transaction because Issuer has insufficient


  authorized but unissued Shares (such deficit, the “ Deficit Shares ”), Issuer shall be continually obligated to deliver, from time to time, Shares or Restricted Shares, as the case may be, to Dealer until the full number of Deficit Shares have been delivered pursuant to this Section 9(p)(ii), when, and to the extent that, (A) Shares are repurchased, acquired or otherwise received by Company or any of its subsidiaries after the Trade Date (whether or not in exchange for cash, fair value or any other consideration), (B) authorized and unissued Shares previously reserved for issuance in respect of other transactions become no longer so reserved or (C) Issuer additionally authorizes any unissued Shares that are not reserved for other transactions; provided that in no event shall Issuer deliver any Shares or Restricted Shares to Dealer pursuant to this Section 9(p)(ii) to the extent that such delivery would cause the aggregate number of Shares and Restricted Shares delivered to Dealer to exceed the Maximum Number of Shares. Issuer shall immediately notify Dealer of the occurrence of any of the foregoing events (including the number of Shares subject to clause (A), (B) or (C) and the corresponding number of Shares or Restricted Shares, as the case may be, to be delivered) and promptly deliver such Shares or Restricted Shares, as the case may be, thereafter.

 

  (q) Right to Extend . Dealer may postpone or add, in whole or in part, any Expiration Date or any other date of valuation or delivery with respect to some or all of the relevant Warrants (in which event the Calculation Agent shall make appropriate adjustments to the Daily Number of Warrants with respect to one or more Expiration Dates) if Dealer determines, in good faith and in its commercially reasonable judgment, that such extension is reasonably necessary or appropriate to preserve Dealer’s hedging or hedge unwind activity hereunder in light of existing liquidity conditions or to enable Dealer to effect transactions with respect to Shares in connection with its hedging, hedge unwind or settlement activity hereunder in a manner that would, if Dealer were Issuer or an affiliated purchaser of Issuer, be in compliance with applicable legal, regulatory or self-regulatory requirements, or with related policies and procedures applicable to Dealer.

Dealer shall be discharged of its obligations to Company to the extent of any such performance.

 

  (y) Non-US Merger Transactions . Issuer shall not enter into or consummate any Non-US Merger Transaction unless the successor Issuer immediately following such Non-US Merger Transaction either (x) repeats to Dealer immediately following such Non-US Merger Transaction the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 8(a), 8(b), 8(c) and 8(d) of this Confirmation (as if references therein to (i) “execute, deliver” were replaced with “assume”, (ii) “execution, delivery” and “execution and delivery” were replaced with “assumption” and (iii) “executed and delivered” were replaced with “assumed”) or (y) solely in the case of the Tornier Merger Transaction, executes and delivers to Dealer an amendment to this Confirmation substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto within the time period set forth under Section 9(h)(ii)(G) above. For the avoidance of doubt, clause (x) of this paragraph shall not apply to the Permitted Tornier Merger Transaction.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Confirmation if (a) at or prior to the Tornier Merger Transaction, (1) Issuer enters into or consummates any Non-US Merger Transaction pursuant to which Issuer following such Non-US Merger Transaction is not a U.S. Entity (or, solely in the case of the Tornier Merger Transaction that occurs prior to the Cut-Off Date, not a Dutch public limited company or an entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes organized and existing under the laws of the Netherlands), (2) Company ceases to be a corporation organized under the laws of the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia that is Issuer (except solely as a result of the Tornier Merger Transaction that occurs prior to the Cut-Off Date), or (3) Issuer enters into or consummates any Non-US Merger Transaction and does not comply


with the requirements of the immediately previous paragraph of this Section 9(y), or (b) after the Tornier Merger Transaction, (1) Issuer enters into or consummates any Non-US Merger Transaction pursuant to which Issuer following such Non-US Merger Transaction is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than the Islands of Bermuda, the Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland, Luxembourg, the Republic of Ireland, Canada or the United Kingdom that also becomes Company hereunder, (2) Company ceases to be Issuer or (3) Issuer enters into or consummates any Non-US Merger Transaction and does not comply with the requirements of the immediately previous paragraph of this Section 9(y), then, in any such case of clauses (a) and (b), such transaction or event shall constitute an Additional Termination Event applicable to the Transaction and, with respect to such Additional Termination Event, (A) Company shall be deemed to be the sole Affected Party, (B) the Transaction shall be the sole Affected Transaction and (C) Dealer shall be the party entitled to designate an Early Termination Date pursuant to Section 6(b) of the Agreement.

If, at any time following the occurrence of any Non-US Merger Transaction (other than the Permitted Tornier Merger Transaction), Dealer determines in good faith that (x) such Non-US Merger Transaction has had an adverse effect on Dealer’s rights and obligations under the Transaction or (y) Dealer would incur an increased amount of tax, duty, expense or fee to (1) acquire, establish, re-establish, substitute, maintain, unwind or dispose of any transaction(s) or asset(s) it deems necessary to hedge the economic risk of entering into and performing its obligations with respect to the Transaction, or (2) realize, recover or remit the proceeds of any such transaction(s) or asset(s) (each of the events described in clause (x) and clause (y) above, a “ Non-US Merger Event ”), then, in either case, Dealer shall give notice to Company of such Non-US Merger Event. Concurrently with delivering such notice, Dealer shall give notice to Company of a Price Adjustment that Dealer reasonably and in good faith determines appropriate to account for the economic effect on the Transaction of such Non-US Merger Event (unless Dealer determines that no Price Adjustment will produce a commercially reasonably result, in which case Dealer shall so notify Company). Unless Dealer determines in good faith that no Price Adjustment will produce a commercially reasonably result, within one Scheduled Trading Day of receipt of such notice, Company shall notify Dealer that it elects to (A) agree to amend the Transaction to take into account such Price Adjustment or (B) pay Dealer an amount determined by Dealer that corresponds to such Price Adjustment (and, in each case, Company shall repeat the representation set forth in Section 8(g) of this Confirmation (which representation is confirmed to Dealer in writing by Issuer, if other than Company) as of the date of such election). If Company fails to give such notice to Dealer of its election in accordance with the foregoing by the end of that first Scheduled Trading Day, or if Dealer determines that no Price Adjustment will produce a commercially reasonably result, then such failure or such determination, as the case may be, shall constitute an Additional Termination Event applicable to the Transaction (it being understood that in the case of a Non-US Merger Event solely pursuant to clause (x) of the definition thereof, such determination shall constitute an Additional Termination Event only


if the relevant adverse effect may have a material impact on Dealer’s rights and obligations under the Transaction, as determined by Dealer in good faith) and, with respect to such Additional Termination Event, (1) Company shall be deemed to be the sole Affected Party, (2) the Transaction shall be the sole Affected Transaction and (3) Dealer shall be the party entitled to designate an Early Termination Date pursuant to Section 6(b) of the Agreement.

For the avoidance of doubt, the parties hereto agree and acknowledge that (I) the occurrence of an Non-US Merger Event shall not preclude the occurrence of one or more additional, subsequent Non-US Merger Events and (II) if a Non-US Merger Event occurs, Dealer will determine, in its sole discretion, whether to exercise its rights under the provisions of this Section 9(y) and/or the rights and remedies of Dealer and its affiliates under any other provision of this Confirmation, the Equity Definitions and the Agreement.

 

  (z) Changes to Par Value . Company will promptly notify Dealer of any change to the par value of the ordinary shares of Tornier.

 

  (aa) Non-Occurrence of Tornier Merger Transaction . If as of the Cut-Off Date both (i) the Tornier Merger Transaction has not occurred and (ii) equity securities issued by a Dutch public limited company or an entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes organized and existing under the laws of the Netherlands have not otherwise become included in the “Shares” hereunder, then Dealer will, within 3 Currency Business Days of the Cut-Off Date, pay to Company an amount in EUR equal to EUR 41,326.00.

Dealer shall be obliged to make the Par Value Payment to the extent set forth in Section 1(b) of an amendment to this Confirmation substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto (it being understood that Dealer will not be obliged to make such Par Value Payment to the extent Dealer makes the payment required pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph).

 

  (bb) Certain Restricted Transactions . During the period commencing on, and including, the Trade Date and ending when Wright Medical Group N.V. executes and delivers to Dealer an amendment to this Confirmation substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A hereto, Company shall not, without Dealer’s prior written consent, sell, convey, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of a material amount of its, or its subsidiaries’, properties or assets to Tornier or its affiliates provided, however , that nothing in this subsection (bb) shall require the consent of the Dealer to consummate the Permitted Tornier Merger Transaction. For purposes of the preceding sentence, a material amount of the Company’s, or its subsidiaries’, properties or assets shall be deemed to be 15% or more on an aggregated basis of the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ properties and assets.

 

  (cc)

Notice of Certain Events . Promptly following the public announcement by Issuer of any Potential Adjustment Event, Company shall notify Dealer of such public announcement; provided , however , that Company’s failure to notify Dealer of


  such public announcement shall not constitute an Event of Default or Termination Event to the extent Company pays to Dealer an amount in EUR equal to the Relevant Excess Amount, if any, corresponding to such Potential Adjustment Event.

 

  (dd) Method of Delivery . Whenever delivery of funds or other assets is required hereunder by or to Counterparty, such delivery shall be effected through DBSI. In addition, all notices, demands and communications of any kind relating to the Transaction between Deutsche and Counterparty shall be transmitted exclusively through DBSI.

From and after the date hereof, Parent shall assume and succeed to the obligation of the Company to make due and punctual payment and delivery of all payment and delivery obligations under the Confirmation and the performance and observation of every covenant or other obligation on the part of the Company and/or the Issuer to be performed or observed by it.

 

  (b) On or prior to the Currency Business Day immediately following the date hereof, the Dealer shall transfer to the Parent a cash amount in Euros (the “ Par Value Payment ”) equal to the product of (i) a number of Shares equal to the Number of Warrants multiplied by the Warrant Entitlement, subject to any adjustments made to such numbers by the Calculation Agent on or prior to the date of such payment, and (ii) the par value per Share as of such date. Such Par Value Payment shall constitute an advance payment for purposes of paying up the Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants. Upon receipt, Parent shall reserve the Par Value Payment and apply the Par Value Payment against the obligation to pay-up the Shares upon exercise of the Warrants. To the extent that the Par Value Payment exceeds the aggregate nominal value of the Shares issued upon exercise of the Warrants, then such excess shall be regarded as share premium.

  (b) Neither the execution and delivery of this Amendment nor the incurrence or performance of obligations of Parent hereunder will conflict with or result in a breach of the articles of association of Parent, or any applicable law or regulation, or any order, writ, injunction or decree of any court or governmental authority or agency, or any agreement or instrument to which Parent or any of its subsidiaries is a party or by which Parent or any of its subsidiaries is bound or to which Parent or any of its subsidiaries is subject, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation of any lien under, any such agreement or instrument.

  (g) Parent and each of its affiliates are not, on the date hereof, in possession of any material non-public information with respect to Parent or the Shares.

  (a) Opinions .

Parent shall deliver to Dealer an opinion of counsel, dated as of the date hereof, with respect to the matters set forth in Sections 3(a) through (d) of this Amendment. Delivery of such opinion to Dealer shall be a condition precedent for the purpose of Section 2(a)(iii) of the Agreement with respect to each obligation of Dealer under Section 2(a)(i) of the Agreement.

 

  (b) Repurchase Notices . The first sentence of Section 9(b) of the Confirmation is replaced with the following sentence:

“Issuer shall, on any day on which Issuer effects any repurchase of Shares, promptly give Dealer a written notice of such repurchase (a “ Repurchase Notice ”) on such day if following such repurchase, the number of outstanding Shares on such day, subject to any adjustments provided herein, is (i) less than [        ] 3  million (in the case of the first such notice) or (ii) thereafter more than [        ] 4  million less than the number of Shares included in the immediately preceding Repurchase Notice.”.

The “ Notional Unwind Shares ” as of any day is a number of Shares equal to (1) the amount that would be payable pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement (determined as of such day as if an Early Termination Date had been designated in respect of the Transaction and as if the Company were the sole Affected Party and the Transaction were the sole Affected Transaction), divided by (2) the Settlement Price (determined as if such day were a Valuation Date). “ Par Value Delivery Number ” means a number of Shares equal to (i) the Par Value Payment divided by (ii) the par value per Share.

In the event Issuer shall not have issued to Dealer the full number of Shares or Restricted Shares otherwise to be issued by Issuer to Dealer pursuant to the terms of the Transaction because Issuer has insufficient authorized capital to issue the full number of Shares or Restricted Shares (such deficit, the “ Deficit Shares ”), Issuer shall be continually obligated to transfer, from time to time, Shares or Restricted Shares, as the case may be, to Dealer until the full number of Deficit Shares have been transferred pursuant to this Section 9(p)(ii), when, and to the extent that Shares are repurchased, acquired or otherwise received by Company or any of its subsidiaries after the Trade Date (whether or not in exchange for cash, fair value or any other consideration), provided that in no event shall Issuer transfer any Shares or Restricted Shares to Dealer pursuant to this Section 9(p)(ii) to the extent that such transfer would cause the aggregate number of Shares and Restricted Shares transferred to Dealer to exceed the Maximum Number of Shares. Issuer shall immediately notify Dealer of the occurrence of any of the foregoing events (including the number of Shares that are repurchased, acquired or otherwise received by Company or any of its subsidiaries after the Trade Date and the corresponding number of Shares or Restricted Shares, as the case may be, to be transferred) and promptly transfer such Shares or Restricted Shares, as the case may be, thereafter.


5. Share Issue . Dealer acknowledges that to the extent (but solely to the extent) the issue of a Share hereunder would result in (i) the amount in EUR equal to the product of (x) the aggregate number of Shares issued to Dealer pursuant hereto and (y) the par value per Share to exceed (ii) the aggregate amount in EUR paid to Parent in connection with the Transaction (whether pursuant to the Par Value Payment or otherwise paid to Parent for purposes of paying up the aggregate par value of the Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, and whether on the date of issue or delivery of such Share or at such prior time as Dealer may elect), Parent will not be required to issue such Share unless and until Dealer pays such amounts to the Parent as a payment ( volstorting ) on such Share as required to eliminate such excess or otherwise takes such steps (if any) as required under Dutch law to give effect to such issue. If any issue and/or delivery owed to Dealer under the Transaction is not made, in whole or in part, as a result of this provision, Parent’s obligation to make such issue and/or delivery shall not be extinguished and Parent shall make such issue and delivery as promptly as practicable after, but in no event later than one Business Day after, Dealer (whether on or after the original date of issue and delivery of the relevant Share) pays such amounts to the Parent as a payment ( volstorting ) on such Share as required under this provision to give effect to such issue or otherwise takes such steps (if any) as required under Dutch law to give effect to such issue.

The definitions and provisions contained in the 2002 ISDA Equity Derivatives Definitions (the “ Equity Definitions ”), as published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc.

Each party is hereby advised, and each such party acknowledges, that the other party has engaged in, or refrained from engaging in, substantial financial transactions and has taken other material actions in reliance upon the parties’ entry into the Transaction to which this Confirmation relates on the terms and conditions set forth below.

1. This Confirmation evidences a complete and binding agreement between Dealer and Company as to the terms of the Transaction to which this Confirmation relates. This Confirmation shall supplement, form a part of, and be subject to an agreement in the form of the


2002 ISDA Master Agreement (the “ Agreement ”) as if Dealer and Company had executed an agreement in such form (but without any Schedule except for (i) the election of the laws of the State of New York as the governing law (without reference to choice of law doctrine), and (ii) the election of US Dollars (“ USD ”) as the Termination Currency) on the Trade Date.

The parties hereby agree that no Transaction other than the Transaction to which this Confirmation relates shall be governed by the Agreement. The parties acknowledge that the Transaction to which this Confirmation relates is not governed by, and shall not be treated as a transaction under, any other ISDA Master Agreement entered between the parties from time to time.

Share Delivery Quantity:

   For any Settlement Date, a number of Shares, as calculated by the Calculation Agent, equal to the Net Share Settlement Amount for such Settlement Date divided by the Settlement Price on the Valuation Date for such Settlement Date.

8. Representations and Warranties of Company .

Each of the representations and warranties of Company set forth in Section 3 of the Purchase Agreement (the “ Purchase Agreement ”), dated as of February 9, 2015, between Company and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, as representative of the Initial Purchasers party thereto (the “ Initial Purchasers ”), are true and correct and are hereby deemed to be repeated to Dealer as if set forth herein. Company hereby further represents and warrants to Dealer on the date hereof, on and as of the Premium Payment Date and, in the case of the representations in Section 8(d), at all times until termination of the Transaction, that:

 

  (a) Company has all necessary corporate power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations in respect of the Transaction; such execution, delivery and performance have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on Company’s part; and this Confirmation has been duly and validly executed and delivered by Company and constitutes its valid and binding obligation, enforceable against Company in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights and remedies generally, and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity, including principles of commercial reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding at law or in equity) and except that rights to indemnification and contribution hereunder may be limited by federal or state securities laws or public policy relating thereto.


  (b) Neither the execution and delivery of this Confirmation nor the incurrence or performance of obligations of Company hereunder will conflict with or result in a breach of the certificate of incorporation or by-laws (or any equivalent documents) of Company, or any applicable law or regulation, or any order, writ, injunction or decree of any court or governmental authority or agency, or any agreement or instrument to which Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party or by which Company or any of its subsidiaries is bound or to which Company or any of its subsidiaries is subject, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation of any lien under, any such agreement or instrument.

 

  (c) No consent, approval, authorization, or order of, or filing with, any governmental agency or body or any court is required in connection with the execution, delivery or performance by Company of this Confirmation, except such as have been obtained or made and such as may be required under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ Securities Act ”) or state securities laws.

 

  (d) A number of Shares equal to the Maximum Number of Shares (as defined below) (the “ Warrant Shares ”) have been reserved for issuance by all required corporate action of Issuer. The Warrant Shares have been duly authorized and, when delivered against payment therefor (which may include Net Share Settlement in lieu of cash) and otherwise as contemplated by the terms of the Warrants following the exercise of the Warrants in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Warrants, will be validly issued, fully-paid and non-assessable, and the issuance of the Warrant Shares will not be subject to any preemptive or similar rights and the Warrant Shares shall upon issuance (subject to notice of issuance) be accepted for listing or quotation on the Exchange.

 

  (e) Company is not and, after consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, will not be required to register as an “investment company” as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

 

  (f) Company is an “eligible contract participant” (as such term is defined in Section 1a(18) of the Commodity Exchange Act, as amended, other than a person that is an eligible contract participant under Section 1a(18) (C) of the Commodity Exchange Act).

 

  (g) Company and each of its affiliates are not, on the date hereof, in possession of any material non-public information with respect to Company or the Shares.

 

  (h)

No state or local (including any non-U.S. jurisdiction’s) law, rule, regulation or regulatory order applicable to the Shares would give rise to any reporting, consent, registration or other requirement (including without limitation a requirement to obtain prior approval from any person or entity), except for the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act and rules promulgated thereunder, or,


  at and after the Tornier Merger Transaction, the reporting or registration requirements of the Dutch Corporate Income Tax Act 1969 ( Wet op de vennootschapsbelasting 1969 ), in each case, as a result of Dealer or its affiliates owning or holding (however defined) Shares.

 

  (i) Company (A) is capable of evaluating investment risks independently, both in general and with regard to all transactions and investment strategies involving a security or securities; (B) will exercise independent judgment in evaluating the recommendations of any broker-dealer or its associated persons, unless it has otherwise notified the broker-dealer in writing; and (C) has total assets of at least $50 million.

9. Other Provisions .

 

  (a) Opinions . In connection with the entry into or consummation of any Non-US Merger Transaction (as defined below) (other than the Permitted Tornier Merger Transaction), Issuer shall deliver to Dealer an opinion of counsel (subject to customary qualifications, assumptions and exceptions), dated as of the date of such Non-US Merger Transaction, with respect to the matters set forth in Sections 8(a), 8(b), 8(c) and 8(d) of this Confirmation (as if references therein to (i) “execute, deliver” were replaced with “assume”, (ii) “execution, delivery” and “execution and delivery” were replaced with “assumption” and (iii) “executed and delivered” were replaced with “assumed”). “ Non-US Merger Transaction ” means any Merger Event, reincorporation of Issuer, corporate inversion of Issuer or similar transaction pursuant to which (x) the consideration for the Shares includes (or, at the option of a holder of Shares, may include) shares of an entity or person that is not a corporation or is not organized under the laws of the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia or (y) the Issuer following such Merger Event, reincorporation of Issuer or corporate inversion of Issuer is organized in a jurisdiction other than the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia.

 

  (b)

Repurchase Notices . Issuer shall, on any day on which Issuer effects any repurchase of Shares, promptly give Dealer a written notice of such repurchase (a “ Repurchase Notice ”) on such day if following such repurchase, the number of outstanding Shares on such day, subject to any adjustments provided herein, is (i) less than 49,032,912 (in the case of the first such notice) or (ii) thereafter more than 1,880,680 less than the number of Shares included in the immediately preceding Repurchase Notice. Issuer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Dealer and its affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, affiliates, advisors, agents and controlling persons (each, an “ Indemnified Person ”) from and against any and all losses (including losses relating to Dealer’s hedging activities as a consequence of becoming, or of the risk of becoming, a Section 16 “insider”, including without limitation, any forbearance from hedging activities or cessation of hedging activities and any losses in connection therewith with respect to the Transaction), claims, damages, judgments, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees), joint or several, which an


  Indemnified Person actually may become subject to, as a result of Issuer’s failure to provide Dealer with a Repurchase Notice on the day and in the manner specified in this paragraph, and to reimburse, within 30 days, upon written request, each of such Indemnified Persons for any reasonable legal or other expenses incurred in connection with investigating, preparing for, providing testimony or other evidence in connection with or defending any of the foregoing. If any suit, action, proceeding (including any governmental or regulatory investigation), claim or demand shall be brought or asserted against the Indemnified Person, such Indemnified Person shall promptly notify Issuer in writing, and Issuer, upon request of the Indemnified Person, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person to represent the Indemnified Person and any others Issuer may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel related to such proceeding. Issuer shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, Issuer agrees to indemnify any Indemnified Person from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Issuer shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Person, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Person is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding on terms reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person. If the indemnification provided for in this paragraph is unavailable to an Indemnified Person or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then Issuer under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Person thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Person as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities. The remedies provided for in this paragraph are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any Indemnified Person at law or in equity. The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this paragraph shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the termination of the Transaction.

 

  (c) Regulation M . Issuer is not on the Trade Date engaged in a distribution, as such term is used in Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “ Exchange Act ), of any securities of Issuer, other than a distribution meeting the requirements of the exception set forth in Rules 101(b)(10) and 102(b)(7) of Regulation M. Issuer shall not, until the second Scheduled Trading Day immediately following the Effective Date, engage in any such distribution.

 

  (d) No Manipulation . Issuer is not entering into the Transaction to create actual or apparent trading activity in the Shares (or any security convertible into or exchangeable for the Shares) or to raise or depress or otherwise manipulate the price of the Shares (or any security convertible into or exchangeable for the Shares) or otherwise in violation of the Exchange Act.


  (e)

Transfer or Assignment . Company may not transfer any of its rights or obligations under the Transaction without the prior written consent of Dealer; provided, however , without limitation of any other provision hereof, that the consummation of the Permitted Tornier Merger Transaction shall not be deemed to be a transfer or assignment of the Company’s rights and obligations under the Transaction. Dealer may, without Company’s or Issuer’s (if other than Company) consent, transfer or assign all or any part of its rights or obligations under the Transaction to any third party; provided , however , that the transferee or assignee shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment of additional amounts under Section 2(d)(i)(4) of the Agreement than Dealer would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Tax Law that occurs after the date of the transfer or assignment. If at any time at which (A) the Section 16 Percentage exceeds 7.5%, (B) the Warrant Equity Percentage exceeds 14.5%, or (C) the Share Amount exceeds the Applicable Share Limit (if any applies) (any such condition described in clauses (A), (B) or (C), an “ Excess Ownership Position ”), Dealer is unable after using its commercially reasonable efforts to effect a transfer or assignment of Warrants to a third party on pricing terms reasonably acceptable to Dealer and within a time period reasonably acceptable to Dealer such that no Excess Ownership Position exists, then Dealer may designate any Exchange Business Day as an Early Termination Date with respect to a portion of the Transaction (the “ Terminated Portion ”), such that following such partial termination no Excess Ownership Position exists. In the event that Dealer so designates an Early Termination Date with respect to a Terminated Portion, a payment shall be made pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement as if (1) an Early Termination Date had been designated in respect of a Transaction having terms identical to the Transaction and a Number of Warrants equal to the number of Warrants underlying the Terminated Portion, (2) Company were the sole Affected Party with respect to such partial termination and (3) the Terminated Portion were the sole Affected Transaction (and, for the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of Section 9(j) shall apply to any amount that is payable by Company to Dealer pursuant to this sentence as if Company was not the Affected Party). The “ Section 16 Percentage as of any day is the fraction, expressed as a percentage, (A) the numerator of which is the number of Shares that Dealer and each person subject to aggregation of Shares with Dealer under Section 13 or Section 16 of the Exchange Act and rules promulgated thereunder directly or indirectly beneficially own (as defined under Section 13 or Section 16 of the Exchange Act and rules promulgated thereunder) and (B) the denominator of which is the number of Shares outstanding. The “ Warrant Equity Percentage ” as of any day is the fraction, expressed as a percentage, (A) the numerator of which is the sum of (1) the product of the Number of Warrants and the Warrant Entitlement and (2) the aggregate number of Shares underlying any other warrants purchased by Dealer from Company or Issuer, as applicable, and (B) the denominator of which is the number of Shares outstanding. The “ Share Amount ” as of any day is the number of Shares that Dealer and any person whose ownership position would be aggregated with that of Dealer (Dealer or any such person, a “ Dealer Person ”)


  under any law, rule, regulation, regulatory order or organizational documents or contracts of Issuer that are, in each case, applicable to ownership of Shares (“ Applicable Restrictions ”), owns, beneficially owns, constructively owns, controls, holds the power to vote or otherwise meets a relevant definition of ownership under any Applicable Restriction, as determined by Dealer in its reasonable discretion. The “ Applicable Share Limit ” means a number of Shares equal to (A) the minimum number of Shares that could give rise to reporting or registration obligations or other requirements (including obtaining prior approval from any person or entity) of a Dealer Person, or could result in an adverse effect on a Dealer Person, under any Applicable Restriction, as determined by Dealer in its reasonable discretion, minus (B) 1% of the number of Shares outstanding. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Confirmation to the contrary requiring or allowing Dealer to purchase, sell, receive or deliver any Shares or other securities, or make or receive any payment in cash, to or from Company or Issuer, as applicable, Dealer may designate any of its affiliates to purchase, sell, receive or deliver such Shares or other securities, or make or receive such payment in cash, and otherwise to perform Dealer’s obligations in respect of the Transaction and any such designee may assume such obligations. Dealer shall be discharged of its obligations to Company or Issuer (if other than Company) to the extent of any such performance.

 

  (f) Dividends . If at any time during the period from and including the Effective Date, to and including the last Expiration Date, an ex-dividend date for a cash dividend occurs with respect to the Shares (an “ Ex-Dividend Date ”), then the Calculation Agent will adjust any of the Strike Price, Number of Warrants, Daily Number of Warrants and/or any other variable relevant to the exercise, settlement or payment of the Transaction to preserve the fair value of the Warrants to Dealer after taking into account such dividend.

 

  (g) Role of Agent . Each party agrees and acknowledges that (i) J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, an affiliate of JPMorgan (“ JPMS ”), has acted solely as agent for Dealer and not as principal with respect to the Transaction and (ii) JPMS has no obligation or liability, by way of guaranty, endorsement or otherwise, in any manner in respect of the Transaction (including, if applicable, in respect of the settlement thereof). Each party agrees it will look solely to the other party (or any guarantor in respect thereof) for performance of such other party’s obligations under the Transaction. For the avoidance of doubt, any performance by Dealer of its obligations hereunder solely to JPMS shall not relieve Dealer of such obligations. Any performance by Counterparty of its obligations (including notice obligations) through or by means of JPMS’ agency for Dealer shall constitute good performance of Counterparty’s obligations hereunder to Dealer.

  (ii)

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Confirmation, upon the occurrence of one of the following events, with respect to the Transaction, (1) Dealer shall have the right to designate such event an Additional Termination Event and designate an Early Termination Date pursuant to Section 6(b) of the Agreement, (2) Company shall be deemed the sole Affected Party with respect to such Additional Termination Event and (3) the Transaction, or, at the election of Dealer in its reasonable discretion, any portion of the Transaction, shall be deemed the sole Affected Transaction; provided that if Dealer so designates an Early


  Termination Date with respect to a portion of the Transaction, (a) a payment shall be made pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement as if an Early Termination Date had been designated in respect of a Transaction having terms identical to the Transaction and a Number of Warrants equal to the number of Warrants included in the terminated portion of the Transaction, and (b) for the avoidance of doubt, the Transaction shall remain in full force and effect except that the Number of Warrants shall be reduced by the number of Warrants included in such terminated portion:

 

  (A) A “person” or “group” within the meaning of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, other than Issuer or its subsidiaries files a Schedule TO or any schedule, form or report under the Exchange Act disclosing that such person or group has become the direct or indirect “beneficial owner,” as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act, of the common equity of Issuer representing more than 50% of the voting power of such common equity. The Permitted Tornier Merger Transaction will not constitute an Additional Termination Event pursuant to this clause (A).

 

  (B)

Consummation of (I) any recapitalization, reclassification or change of the Shares (other than changes resulting from a subdivision or combination), including resulting from the Tornier Merger Transaction (except if it constitutes the Permitted Tornier Merger Transaction), as a result of which the Shares would be converted into, or exchanged for, stock, other securities, other property or assets; (II) any share exchange, consolidation or merger of Issuer pursuant to which the Shares will be converted into cash, securities or other property; or (III) any sale, lease or other transfer in one transaction or a series of transactions of all or substantially all of the consolidated assets of Issuer and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to any person other than one of Issuer’s subsidiaries; provided , however , that a transaction or transactions described in this clause (B) shall not constitute an Additional Termination Event pursuant to this clause (B), if at least 90% of the consideration received or to be received by holders of the Shares, excluding cash payments for fractional Shares and cash payments made pursuant to dissenters’ appraisal rights, in connection with such transaction or transactions consists of shares of common stock (1) a U.S. Entity or (2) a corporation or entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes organized and existing under the laws of the Islands of Bermuda, the Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland, Luxembourg, the Republic of Ireland, Canada or the United Kingdom, in each case, that are listed or quoted on any of The New York Stock Exchange, The NASDAQ Global Select Market or The NASDAQ Global Market (or any of their respective successors) or will be so listed or quoted when issued or exchanged in connection with such transaction or


  transactions, and as a result of such transaction or transactions, the reference property for the Shares becomes such consideration, excluding cash payments for fractional Shares. For purposes of the exception described in the immediately preceding proviso, any transaction or event described under both clause (A) above and this clause (B) will be evaluated solely under this clause (B). The Permitted Tornier Merger Transaction will not constitute an Additional Termination Event pursuant to this clause (B).

 

  (C) Default by the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries with respect to any mortgage, agreement or other instrument under which there may be outstanding, or by which there may be secured or evidenced, any indebtedness for money borrowed in excess of $25 million in the aggregate of the Issuer and/or any such subsidiary, whether such indebtedness now exists or shall hereafter be created (i) resulting in such indebtedness becoming or being accelerated and declared due and payable prior to its stated maturity date or (ii) constituting a failure to pay the principal or interest of any such debt when due and payable (after the expiration of any applicable grace period) at its stated maturity, upon required repurchase, upon declaration of acceleration or otherwise; provided, however, the acceleration of any indebtedness of Parent as a result of the Permitted Tornier Merger Transaction shall not constitute an Additional Termination Event pursuant to this clause (C) if such accelerated indebtedness is repaid in full within 50 calendar days .

The “ Cut-Off Date ” shall mean 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on September 30, 2015, which date may be extended by the Company in its sole discretion by written notice to Dealer (which notice contains a representation and warranty from Company that Company and each of its affiliates are not, on the date thereof, in possession of any material non-public information with respect to Company or the Shares) to a date not beyond December 31, 2015.


  (F) At or after the Effective Time of the Tornier Merger Transaction, the Company ceases to be, (1) a U.S. Entity, or (2) a corporation or entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes organized and existing under the laws of the Islands of Bermuda, the Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland, Luxembourg, the Republic of Ireland, Canada or the United Kingdom.

 

  (G) Within 90 calendar days of the Effective Time of the Tornier Merger Transaction, each of the Company and Wright Medical Group N.V. has not executed and delivered to Dealer an amendment to this Confirmation substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A hereto and/or has not delivered to Dealer the legal opinions required thereunder. For the avoidance of doubt, none of a Hedging Disruption, Increased Cost of Hedging, Loss of Stock Borrow and/or Increased Cost of Stock Borrow shall occur solely as a result of Dealer not receiving such executed amendment and legal opinions as of any day prior to the end of such 90 calendar day period.

 

  (H) Dealer, despite using commercially reasonable efforts, is unable or reasonably determines that it is impractical or illegal, to hedge its exposure with respect to the Transaction in the public market without registration under the Securities Act or as a result of any legal, regulatory or self-regulatory requirements or related policies and procedures (whether or not such requirements, policies or procedures are imposed by law or have been voluntarily adopted by Dealer).

 

  (i) No Collateral or Setoff . Notwithstanding any provision of the Agreement or any other agreement between the parties to the contrary, the obligations of Company hereunder are not secured by any collateral. Obligations under the Transaction shall not be set off by either party against any other obligations of the parties, whether arising under the Agreement, this Confirmation, under any other agreement between the parties hereto, by operation of law or otherwise. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event of bankruptcy or liquidation of either Company or Dealer, neither party shall have the right to set off any obligation that it may have to the other party under the Transaction against any obligation such other party may have to it, whether arising under the Agreement, this Confirmation or any other agreement between the parties hereto, by operation of law or otherwise.

 

  (j) Alternative Calculations and Payment on Early Termination and on Certain Extraordinary Events .

 

  (i)

If, in respect of the Transaction, an amount is payable by Company to Dealer, (A) pursuant to Section 12.7 or Section 12.9 of the Equity Definitions or (B) pursuant to Section 6(d)(ii) of the Agreement (any such amount, a “ Payment Obligation ”), Company shall satisfy the Payment


  Obligation by the Share Termination Alternative (as defined below), unless (a) Company gives irrevocable telephonic notice to Dealer, confirmed in writing within one Scheduled Trading Day, no later than 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Merger Date, Tender Offer Date, Announcement Date (in the case of a Nationalization, Insolvency or Delisting), Early Termination Date or date of cancellation, as applicable, of its election that the Share Termination Alternative shall not apply, (b) Company remakes the representation set forth in Section 8(g) as of the date of such election and (c) Dealer agrees, in its sole discretion, to such election, in which case the provisions of Section 12.7 or Section 12.9 of the Equity Definitions, or the provisions of Section 6(d)(ii) of the Agreement, as the case may be, shall apply.

 

Share Termination Alternative: If applicable, Company shall deliver to Dealer the Share Termination Delivery Property on the date (the “ Share Termination Payment Date ”) on which the Payment Obligation would otherwise be due pursuant to Section 12.7 or Section 12.9 of the Equity Definitions or Section 6(d)(ii) of the Agreement, as applicable, subject to Section 9(k)(i) below, in satisfaction, subject to Section 9(k)(ii) below, of the relevant Payment Obligation, in the manner reasonably requested by Dealer free of payment.
Share Termination Delivery Property:
A number of Share Termination Delivery Units, as calculated by the Calculation Agent, equal to the relevant Payment Obligation divided by the Share Termination Unit Price. The Calculation Agent shall adjust the amount of Share Termination Delivery Property by replacing any fractional portion of a security therein with an amount of cash equal to the value of such fractional security based on the values used to calculate the Share Termination Unit Price (without giving effect to any discount pursuant to Section 9(k)(i)).
Share Termination Unit Price: The value to Dealer of property contained in one Share Termination Delivery Unit on the date such Share Termination Delivery Units


   are to be delivered as Share Termination Delivery Property, as determined by the Calculation Agent in its discretion by commercially reasonable means. In the case of a Private Placement of Share Termination Delivery Units that are Restricted Shares (as defined below), as set forth in Section 9(k)(i) below, the Share Termination Unit Price shall be determined by the discounted price applicable to such Share Termination Delivery Units. In the case of a Registration Settlement of Share Termination Delivery Units that are Restricted Shares (as defined below) as set forth in Section 9(k)(ii) below, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Share Termination Unit Price shall be the Settlement Price on the Merger Date, Tender Offer Date, Announcement Date (in the case of a Nationalization, Insolvency or Delisting), Early Termination Date or date of cancellation, as applicable. The Calculation Agent shall notify Company of the Share Termination Unit Price at the time of notification of such Payment Obligation to Company or, if applicable, at the time the discounted price applicable to the relevant Share Termination Units is determined pursuant to Section 9(k)(i).
Share Termination Delivery Unit:    One Share or, if the Shares have changed into cash or any other property or the right to receive cash or any other property as the result of a Nationalization, Insolvency or Merger Event (any such cash or other property, the “ Exchange Property ”), a unit consisting of the type and amount of Exchange Property received by a holder of one Share (without consideration of any requirement to pay cash or other consideration in lieu of fractional amounts of any securities) in such Nationalization, Insolvency or Merger Event. If such Nationalization, Insolvency or Merger Event involves a choice of Exchange Property to be received by holders, such holder shall be deemed to have elected to receive the maximum possible amount of cash.


Failure to Deliver:    Inapplicable
Other applicable provisions:    If Share Termination Alternative is applicable, the provisions of Sections 9.8, 9.9, 9.11 and 9.12 (as modified above) of the Equity Definitions will be applicable, except that all references in such provisions to “Physically-settled” shall be read as references to “Share Termination Settled” and all references to “Shares” shall be read as references to “Share Termination Delivery Units”. “Share Termination Settled” in relation to the Transaction means that the Share Termination Alternative is applicable to the Transaction.

 

  (k) Registration/Private Placement Procedures . If, in the reasonable opinion of Dealer, following any delivery of Shares or Share Termination Delivery Property to Dealer hereunder, such Shares or Share Termination Delivery Property would be in the hands of Dealer subject to any applicable restrictions with respect to any registration or qualification requirement or prospectus delivery requirement for such Shares or Share Termination Delivery Property pursuant to any applicable federal or state securities law (including, without limitation, any such requirement arising under Section 5 of the Securities Act as a result of such Shares or Share Termination Delivery Property being “restricted securities”, as such term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act, or as a result of the sale of such Shares or Share Termination Delivery Property being subject to paragraph (c) of Rule 145 under the Securities Act) (such Shares or Share Termination Delivery Property, “ Restricted Shares ”), then delivery of such Restricted Shares shall be effected pursuant to either clause (i) or (ii) below at the election of Issuer, unless Dealer waives the need for registration/private placement procedures set forth in (i) and (ii) below. Notwithstanding the foregoing, solely in respect of any Daily Number of Warrants exercised or deemed exercised on any Expiration Date, Issuer shall elect, prior to the first Settlement Date for the first applicable Expiration Date, a Private Placement Settlement or Registration Settlement for all deliveries of Restricted Shares for all such Expiration Dates which election shall be applicable to all remaining Settlement Dates for such Warrants and the procedures in clause (i) or clause (ii) below shall apply for all such delivered Restricted Shares on an aggregate basis commencing after the final Settlement Date for such Warrants. The Calculation Agent shall make reasonable adjustments to settlement terms and provisions under this Confirmation to reflect a single Private Placement or Registration Settlement for such aggregate Restricted Shares delivered hereunder.


  (i) If Issuer elects to settle the Transaction pursuant to this clause (i) (a “ Private Placement Settlement ”), then delivery of Restricted Shares by Issuer shall be effected in customary private placement procedures with respect to such Restricted Shares reasonably acceptable to Dealer; provided that Issuer may not elect a Private Placement Settlement if, on the date of its election, it has taken, or caused to be taken, any action that would make unavailable either the exemption pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act for the sale by Issuer to Dealer (or any affiliate designated by Dealer) of the Restricted Shares or the exemption pursuant to Section 4(a)(1) or Section 4(a)(3) of the Securities Act for resales of the Restricted Shares by Dealer (or any such affiliate of Dealer). The Private Placement Settlement of such Restricted Shares shall include customary representations, covenants, blue sky and other governmental filings and/or registrations, indemnities to Dealer, due diligence rights (for Dealer or any designated buyer of the Restricted Shares by Dealer), opinions and certificates, and such other documentation as is customary for private placement agreements, all reasonably acceptable to Dealer. In the case of a Private Placement Settlement, Dealer shall determine the appropriate discount to the Share Termination Unit Price (in the case of settlement of Share Termination Delivery Units pursuant to Section 9(j) above) or any Settlement Price (in the case of settlement of Shares pursuant to Section 2 above) applicable to such Restricted Shares in a commercially reasonable manner and appropriately adjust the number of such Restricted Shares to be delivered to Dealer hereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement or this Confirmation, the date of delivery of such Restricted Shares shall be the Exchange Business Day following notice by Dealer to Issuer, of such applicable discount and the number of Restricted Shares to be delivered pursuant to this clause (i). For the avoidance of doubt, delivery of Restricted Shares shall be due as set forth in the previous sentence and not be due on the Share Termination Payment Date (in the case of settlement of Share Termination Delivery Units pursuant to Section 9(j) above) or on the Settlement Date for such Restricted Shares (in the case of settlement in Shares pursuant to Section 2 above).

 

  (ii)

If Issuer elects to settle the Transaction pursuant to this clause (ii) (a “ Registration Settlement ”), then Issuer shall promptly (but in any event no later than the beginning of the Resale Period) file and use its reasonable best efforts to make effective under the Securities Act a registration statement or supplement or amend an outstanding registration statement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Dealer, to cover the resale of such Restricted Shares in accordance with customary resale registration procedures, including covenants, conditions, representations, underwriting discounts (if applicable), commissions (if applicable), indemnities due diligence rights, opinions and certificates, and such other documentation as is customary for equity resale underwriting agreements, all reasonably acceptable to Dealer. If Dealer, in its reasonable discretion, is not satisfied


  with such procedures and documentation Private Placement Settlement shall apply. If Dealer is satisfied with such procedures and documentation, it shall sell the Restricted Shares pursuant to such registration statement during a period (the “ Resale Period ”) commencing on the Exchange Business Day following delivery of such Restricted Shares (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be (x) the Share Termination Payment Date in case of settlement in Share Termination Delivery Units pursuant to Section 9(j) above or (y) the Settlement Date in respect of the final Expiration Date for all Daily Number of Warrants) and ending on the earliest of (i) the Exchange Business Day on which Dealer completes the sale of all Restricted Shares or, in the case of settlement of Share Termination Delivery Units, a sufficient number of Restricted Shares so that the realized net proceeds of such sales equals or exceeds the Payment Obligation (as defined above), (ii) the date upon which all Restricted Shares have been sold or transferred pursuant to Rule 144 (or similar provisions then in force) or Rule 145(d)(2) (or any similar provision then in force) under the Securities Act and (iii) the date upon which all Restricted Shares may be sold or transferred by a non-affiliate pursuant to Rule 144 (or any similar provision then in force) or Rule 145(d)(2) (or any similar provision then in force) under the Securities Act. If the Payment Obligation exceeds the realized net proceeds from such resale, Issuer shall transfer to Dealer by the open of the regular trading session on the Exchange on the Exchange Trading Day immediately following such resale the amount of such excess (the “ Additional Amount ”) in cash or in a number of Shares (“ Make-whole Shares ”) in an amount that, based on the Settlement Price on such day (as if such day was the “Valuation Date” for purposes of computing such Settlement Price), has a dollar value equal to the Additional Amount. The Resale Period shall continue to enable the sale of the Make-whole Shares. If Issuer elects to pay the Additional Amount in Shares, the requirements and provisions for Registration Settlement shall apply. This provision shall be applied successively until the Additional Amount is equal to zero. In no event shall Issuer deliver a number of Restricted Shares greater than the Maximum Number of Shares.

 

  (iii)

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Issuer agrees that (A) any Restricted Shares delivered to Dealer may be transferred by and among Dealer and its affiliates and Issuer shall effect such transfer without any further action by Dealer and (B) after the period of 6 months from the Trade Date (or 1 year from the Trade Date if, at such time, informational requirements of Rule 144 (C) under the Securities Act are not satisfied with respect to Issuer) has elapsed in respect of any Restricted Shares delivered to Dealer, Issuer shall promptly remove, or cause the transfer agent for such Restricted Shares to remove, any legends referring to any such restrictions or requirements from such Restricted Shares upon request by Dealer (or such affiliate of Dealer) to Issuer or such transfer agent, without any requirement for the delivery of any certificate, consent,


  agreement, opinion of counsel, notice or any other document, any transfer tax stamps or payment of any other amount or any other action by Dealer (or such affiliate of Dealer). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, to the extent the provisions of Rule 144 of the Securities Act or any successor rule are amended, or the applicable interpretation thereof by the Securities and Exchange Commission or any court change after the Trade Date, the agreements of Issuer herein shall be deemed modified to the extent necessary, in the opinion of outside counsel of Issuer, to comply with Rule 144 of the Securities Act, as in effect at the time of delivery of the relevant Shares or Share Termination Delivery Property.

 

  (iv) If the Private Placement Settlement or the Registration Settlement shall not be effected as set forth in clauses (i) or (ii), as applicable, then failure to effect such Private Placement Settlement or such Registration Settlement shall constitute an Event of Default with respect to which Issuer shall be the Defaulting Party.

 

  (l) Limit on Beneficial Ownership . Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, Dealer may not exercise any Warrant hereunder or be entitled to take delivery of any Shares deliverable hereunder, and Automatic Exercise shall not apply with respect to any Warrant hereunder, to the extent (but only to the extent) that, after such receipt of any Shares upon the exercise of such Warrant or otherwise hereunder (i) the Section 16 Percentage would exceed 7.5%, or (ii) the Share Amount would exceed the Applicable Share Limit. Any purported delivery hereunder shall be void and have no effect to the extent (but only to the extent) that, after such delivery, (i) the Section 16 Percentage would exceed 7.5%, or (ii) the Share Amount would exceed the Applicable Share Limit. If any delivery owed to Dealer hereunder is not made, in whole or in part, as a result of this provision, Company’s obligation to make such delivery shall not be extinguished and Company shall make such delivery as promptly as practicable after, but in no event later than one Business Day after, Dealer gives notice to Company that, after such delivery, (i) the Section 16 Percentage would not exceed 7.5%, and (ii) the Share Amount would not exceed the Applicable Share Limit.

 

  (m) Share Deliveries . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Issuer agrees that any delivery of Shares or Share Termination Delivery Property shall be effected by book-entry transfer through the facilities of DTC, or any successor depositary, if at the time of delivery, such class of Shares or class of Share Termination Delivery Property is in book-entry form at DTC or such successor depositary.

 

  (n) Waiver of Jury Trial . Each party waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any right it may have to a trial by jury in respect of any suit, action or proceeding relating to the Transaction. Each party (i) certifies that no representative, agent or attorney of the other party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other party would not, in the event of such a suit, action or proceeding, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver and (ii) acknowledges that it and the other party have been induced to enter into the Transaction, as applicable, by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications provided herein.


  (o) Tax Disclosure . Effective from the date of commencement of discussions concerning the Transaction, Company and each of its employees, representatives, or other agents may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of the Transaction and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to Company relating to such tax treatment and tax structure.

 

  (p) Maximum Share Delivery .

 

  (i) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Confirmation, the Agreement or the Equity Definitions, in no event will Company at any time be required to deliver a number of Shares greater than two times the Number of Warrants (the “ Maximum Number of Shares ”) to Dealer in connection with the Transaction, subject to the provisions regarding Deficit Shares in Section 9 (p)(ii).

 

  (ii) In the event Issuer shall not have delivered to Dealer the full number of Shares or Restricted Shares otherwise deliverable by Issuer to Dealer pursuant to the terms of the Transaction because Issuer has insufficient authorized but unissued Shares (such deficit, the “ Deficit Shares ”), Issuer shall be continually obligated to deliver, from time to time, Shares or Restricted Shares, as the case may be, to Dealer until the full number of Deficit Shares have been delivered pursuant to this Section 9(p)(ii), when, and to the extent that, (A) Shares are repurchased, acquired or otherwise received by Company or any of its subsidiaries after the Trade Date (whether or not in exchange for cash, fair value or any other consideration), (B) authorized and unissued Shares previously reserved for issuance in respect of other transactions become no longer so reserved or (C) Issuer additionally authorizes any unissued Shares that are not reserved for other transactions; provided that in no event shall Issuer deliver any Shares or Restricted Shares to Dealer pursuant to this Section 9(p)(ii) to the extent that such delivery would cause the aggregate number of Shares and Restricted Shares delivered to Dealer to exceed the Maximum Number of Shares. Issuer shall immediately notify Dealer of the occurrence of any of the foregoing events (including the number of Shares subject to clause (A), (B) or (C) and the corresponding number of Shares or Restricted Shares, as the case may be, to be delivered) and promptly deliver such Shares or Restricted Shares, as the case may be, thereafter.

 

  (q)

Right to Extend . Dealer may postpone or add, in whole or in part, any Expiration Date or any other date of valuation or delivery with respect to some or all of the relevant Warrants (in which event the Calculation Agent shall make appropriate adjustments to the Daily Number of Warrants with respect to one or more


  Expiration Dates) if Dealer determines, in good faith and in its commercially reasonable judgment, that such extension is reasonably necessary or appropriate to preserve Dealer’s hedging or hedge unwind activity hereunder in light of existing liquidity conditions or to enable Dealer to effect transactions with respect to Shares in connection with its hedging, hedge unwind or settlement activity hereunder in a manner that would, if Dealer were Issuer or an affiliated purchaser of Issuer, be in compliance with applicable legal, regulatory or self-regulatory requirements, or with related policies and procedures applicable to Dealer.

 

  (r) Status of Claims in Bankruptcy . Dealer acknowledges and agrees that this Confirmation is not intended to convey to Dealer rights against Issuer with respect to the Transaction that are senior to the claims of common stock shareholders of Issuer in any Dutch or United States bankruptcy proceedings of Issuer; provided that nothing herein shall limit or shall be deemed to limit Dealer’s right to pursue remedies in the event of a breach by Issuer of its obligations and agreements with respect to the Transaction other than during any such bankruptcy proceedings; provided further that nothing herein shall limit or shall be deemed to limit Dealer’s rights in respect of any transactions other than the Transaction.

 

  (s) Securities Contract; Swap Agreement . The parties hereto intend for (i) the Transaction to be a “securities contract” and a “swap agreement” as defined in the Bankruptcy Code (Title 11 of the United States Code) (the “ Bankruptcy Code ”), and the parties hereto to be entitled to the protections afforded by, among other Sections, Sections 362(b)(6), 362(b)(17), 546(e), 546(g), 555 and 560 of the Bankruptcy Code, (ii) a party’s right to liquidate the Transaction and to exercise any other remedies upon the occurrence of any Event of Default under the Agreement with respect to the other party to constitute a “contractual right” as described in the Bankruptcy Code, and (iii) each payment and delivery of cash, securities or other property hereunder to constitute a “margin payment” or “settlement payment” and a “transfer” as defined in the Bankruptcy Code.

 

  (t) Wall Street Transparency and Accountability Act . In connection with Section 739 of the Wall Street Transparency and Accountability Act of 2010 (“ WSTAA ”), the parties hereby agree that neither the enactment of WSTAA or any regulation under the WSTAA, nor any requirement under WSTAA or an amendment made by WSTAA, shall limit or otherwise impair either party’s otherwise applicable rights to terminate, renegotiate, modify, amend or supplement this Confirmation or the Agreement, as applicable, arising from a termination event, force majeure, illegality, increased costs, regulatory change or similar event under this Confirmation, the Equity Definitions incorporated herein, or the Agreement (including, but not limited to, rights arising from Change in Law, Hedging Disruption, Increased Cost of Hedging, an Excess Ownership Position, or Illegality (as defined in the Agreement)).

 

  (u)

Agreements and Acknowledgements Regarding Hedging . Issuer understands, acknowledges and agrees that: (A) at any time on and prior to the last Expiration Date, Dealer and its affiliates may buy or sell Shares or other securities or buy or


  sell options or futures contracts or enter into swaps or other derivative securities in order to adjust its hedge position with respect to the Transaction; (B) Dealer and its affiliates also may be active in the market for Shares other than in connection with hedging activities in relation to the Transaction; (C) Dealer shall make its own determination as to whether, when or in what manner any hedging or market activities in securities of Issuer shall be conducted and shall do so in a manner that it deems appropriate to hedge its price and market risk with respect to the Settlement Prices; and (D) any market activities of Dealer and its affiliates with respect to Shares may affect the market price and volatility of Shares, as well as the Settlement Prices, each in a manner that may be adverse to Issuer.

 

  (v) Early Unwind . In the event the sale of the “Underwritten Securities” (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) is not consummated with the Initial Purchasers for any reason by 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Premium Payment Date, or such later date as agreed upon by the parties (the Premium Payment Date or such later date the “ Early Unwind Date ”), the Transaction shall automatically terminate (the “ Early Unwind ”), on the Early Unwind Date and (i) the Transaction and all of the respective rights and obligations of Dealer and Company under the Transaction shall be cancelled and terminated and (ii) each party shall be released and discharged by the other party from and agrees not to make any claim against the other party with respect to any obligations or liabilities of the other party arising out of and to be performed in connection with the Transaction either prior to or after the Early Unwind Date. Each of Dealer and Company represents and acknowledges to the other that, subject to the proviso included in this Section 9(v), upon an Early Unwind, all obligations with respect to the Transaction shall be deemed fully and finally discharged.

 

  (w) Payment by Dealer . In the event that (i) an Early Termination Date occurs or is designated with respect to the Transaction as a result of a Termination Event or an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default arising under Section 5(a)(ii) or 5(a)(iv) of the Agreement) and, as a result, Dealer owes to Company an amount calculated under Section 6(e) of the Agreement, or (ii) Dealer owes to Company, pursuant to Section 12.7 or Section 12.9 of the Equity Definitions, an amount calculated under Section 12.8 of the Equity Definitions, such amount shall be deemed to be zero.

 

  (x) Designation of Dealer . Notwithstanding any other provision in this Confirmation to the contrary requiring or allowing Dealer to purchase, sell, receive or deliver any Shares or other securities to or from Company or Issuer, as applicable, Dealer may designate any of its affiliates to purchase, sell, receive or deliver such Shares or other securities and otherwise to perform Dealer obligations in respect of the Transaction and any such designee may assume such obligations. Dealer shall be discharged of its obligations to Company to the extent of any such performance.

 

  (y)

Non-US Merger Transactions . Issuer shall not enter into or consummate any Non-US Merger Transaction unless the successor Issuer immediately following such Non-US Merger Transaction either (x) repeats to Dealer immediately


  following such Non-US Merger Transaction the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 8(a), 8(b), 8(c) and 8(d) of this Confirmation (as if references therein to (i) “execute, deliver” were replaced with “assume”, (ii) “execution, delivery” and “execution and delivery” were replaced with “assumption” and (iii) “executed and delivered” were replaced with “assumed”) or (y) solely in the case of the Tornier Merger Transaction, executes and delivers to Dealer an amendment to this Confirmation substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto within the time period set forth under Section 9(h)(ii)(G) above. For the avoidance of doubt, clause (x) of this paragraph shall not apply to the Permitted Tornier Merger Transaction.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Confirmation if (a) at or prior to the Tornier Merger Transaction, (1) Issuer enters into or consummates any Non-US Merger Transaction pursuant to which Issuer following such Non-US Merger Transaction is not a U.S. Entity (or, solely in the case of the Tornier Merger Transaction that occurs prior to the Cut-Off Date, not a Dutch public limited company or an entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes organized and existing under the laws of the Netherlands), (2) Company ceases to be a corporation organized under the laws of the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia that is Issuer (except solely as a result of the Tornier Merger Transaction that occurs prior to the Cut-Off Date), or (3) Issuer enters into or consummates any Non-US Merger Transaction and does not comply with the requirements of the immediately previous paragraph of this Section 9(y), or (b) after the Tornier Merger Transaction, (1) Issuer enters into or consummates any Non-US Merger Transaction pursuant to which Issuer following such Non-US Merger Transaction is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than the Islands of Bermuda, the Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland, Luxembourg, the Republic of Ireland, Canada or the United Kingdom that also becomes Company hereunder, (2) Company ceases to be Issuer or (3) Issuer enters into or consummates any Non-US Merger Transaction and does not comply with the requirements of the immediately previous paragraph of this Section 9(y), then, in any such case of clauses (a) and (b), such transaction or event shall constitute an Additional Termination Event applicable to the Transaction and, with respect to such Additional Termination Event, (A) Company shall be deemed to be the sole Affected Party, (B) the Transaction shall be the sole Affected Transaction and (C) Dealer shall be the party entitled to designate an Early Termination Date pursuant to Section 6(b) of the Agreement.

If, at any time following the occurrence of any Non-US Merger Transaction (other than the Permitted Tornier Merger Transaction), Dealer determines in good faith that (x) such Non-US Merger Transaction has had an adverse effect on Dealer’s rights and obligations under the Transaction or (y) Dealer would incur an increased amount of tax, duty, expense or fee to (1) acquire, establish, re-establish, substitute, maintain, unwind or dispose of any transaction(s) or asset(s) it deems necessary to hedge the economic risk of entering into and performing its obligations with respect to the Transaction, or (2) realize, recover or remit the proceeds of any such transaction(s) or asset(s) (each of the events described in


clause (x) and clause (y) above, a “ Non-US Merger Event ”), then, in either case, Dealer shall give notice to Company of such Non-US Merger Event. Concurrently with delivering such notice, Dealer shall give notice to Company of a Price Adjustment that Dealer reasonably and in good faith determines appropriate to account for the economic effect on the Transaction of such Non-US Merger Event (unless Dealer determines that no Price Adjustment will produce a commercially reasonably result, in which case Dealer shall so notify Company). Unless Dealer determines in good faith that no Price Adjustment will produce a commercially reasonably result, within one Scheduled Trading Day of receipt of such notice, Company shall notify Dealer that it elects to (A) agree to amend the Transaction to take into account such Price Adjustment or (B) pay Dealer an amount determined by Dealer that corresponds to such Price Adjustment (and, in each case, Company shall repeat the representation set forth in Section 8(g) of this Confirmation (which representation is confirmed to Dealer in writing by Issuer, if other than Company) as of the date of such election). If Company fails to give such notice to Dealer of its election in accordance with the foregoing by the end of that first Scheduled Trading Day, or if Dealer determines that no Price Adjustment will produce a commercially reasonably result, then such failure or such determination, as the case may be, shall constitute an Additional Termination Event applicable to the Transaction (it being understood that in the case of a Non-US Merger Event solely pursuant to clause (x) of the definition thereof, such determination shall constitute an Additional Termination Event only if the relevant adverse effect may have a material impact on Dealer’s rights and obligations under the Transaction, as determined by Dealer in good faith) and, with respect to such Additional Termination Event, (1) Company shall be deemed to be the sole Affected Party, (2) the Transaction shall be the sole Affected Transaction and (3) Dealer shall be the party entitled to designate an Early Termination Date pursuant to Section 6(b) of the Agreement.

For the avoidance of doubt, the parties hereto agree and acknowledge that (I) the occurrence of an Non-US Merger Event shall not preclude the occurrence of one or more additional, subsequent Non-US Merger Events and (II) if a Non-US Merger Event occurs, Dealer will determine, in its sole discretion, whether to exercise its rights under the provisions of this Section 9(y) and/or the rights and remedies of Dealer and its affiliates under any other provision of this Confirmation, the Equity Definitions and the Agreement.

 

  (z) Changes to Par Value . Company will promptly notify Dealer of any change to the par value of the ordinary shares of Tornier.

 

  (aa) Non-Occurrence of Tornier Merger Transaction . If as of the Cut-Off Date both (i) the Tornier Merger Transaction has not occurred and (ii) equity securities issued by a Dutch public limited company or an entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes organized and existing under the laws of the Netherlands have not otherwise become included in the “Shares” hereunder, then Dealer will, within 3 Currency Business Days of the Cut-Off Date, pay to Company an amount in EUR equal to EUR 165,305.00.


Dealer shall be obliged to make the Par Value Payment to the extent set forth in Section 1(b) of an amendment to this Confirmation substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto (it being understood that Dealer will not be obliged to make such Par Value Payment to the extent Dealer makes the payment required pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph).

 

  (bb) Certain Restricted Transactions . During the period commencing on, and including, the Trade Date and ending when Wright Medical Group N.V. executes and delivers to Dealer an amendment to this Confirmation substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A hereto, Company shall not, without Dealer’s prior written consent, sell, convey, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of a material amount of its, or its subsidiaries’, properties or assets to Tornier or its affiliates provided, however , that nothing in this subsection (bb) shall require the consent of the Dealer to consummate the Permitted Tornier Merger Transaction. For purposes of the preceding sentence, a material amount of the Company’s, or its subsidiaries’, properties or assets shall be deemed to be 15% or more on an aggregated basis of the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ properties and assets.

 

  (cc) Notice of Certain Events . Promptly following the public announcement by Issuer of any Potential Adjustment Event, Company shall notify Dealer of such public announcement; provided , however , that Company’s failure to notify Dealer of such public announcement shall not constitute an Event of Default or Termination Event to the extent Company pays to Dealer an amount in EUR equal to the Relevant Excess Amount, if any, corresponding to such Potential Adjustment Event.

Subject: Amendment to the Base Warrant Confirmation dated February 9, 2015

The purpose of this Amendment to the Confirmation (this “ Amendment ”) is to amend certain terms and conditions of the Transaction (as defined below). Reference is made to the letter agreement dated as of February 9, 2015 (the “ Confirmation ”) that confirms the terms and conditions of the Warrants issued by the Company to the Dealer as of the Trade Date, as amended hereby (the “ Transaction ”). Capitalized terms used herein but not defined herein shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Confirmation; provided that if such meaning is amended thereby, such amended meaning shall apply.

On [            ], 2015 at [        ] [a.m.] / [p.m.], Company and [Wright Medical Group N.V.] 1 (which was previously known as Tornier N.V., the “ Parent ”) completed the Tornier Merger Transaction.

 

1   Global - To be conformed to the legal name of Tornier N.V. post the Tornier Merger Transaction.


In consideration of the premises and the agreements, provisions and covenants contained in this Amendment, Company, Dealer and Parent hereby agree as follows:

 

1. Assignment and Assumption .

 

  (a) For an agreed consideration, the Company hereby assigns to the Parent, and the Parent hereby irrevocably assumes from the Company, as of the date hereof, all the obligations of Company under the Confirmation and all the obligations of the “Issuer” (with the meaning of such term amended in accordance with Section 2(a) below) under the Confirmation, provided that the representations and warranties of the Company in Section 8 of the Confirmation shall be replaced by the representations and warranties of the Parent in Section 3 of this Amendment. From and after the date hereof, Parent shall assume and succeed to the obligation of the Company to make due and punctual payment and delivery of all payment and delivery obligations under the Confirmation and the performance and observation of every covenant or other obligation on the part of the Company and/or the Issuer to be performed or observed by it.

 

  (b) On or prior to the Currency Business Day immediately following the date hereof, the Dealer shall transfer to the Parent a cash amount in Euros (the “ Par Value Payment ”) equal to the product of (i) a number of Shares equal to the Number of Warrants multiplied by the Warrant Entitlement, subject to any adjustments made to such numbers by the Calculation Agent on or prior to the date of such payment, and (ii) the par value per Share as of such date. Such Par Value Payment shall constitute an advance payment for purposes of paying up the Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants. Upon receipt, Parent shall reserve the Par Value Payment and apply the Par Value Payment against the obligation to pay-up the Shares upon exercise of the Warrants. To the extent that the Par Value Payment exceeds the aggregate nominal value of the Shares issued upon exercise of the Warrants, then such excess shall be regarded as share premium.

 

2. Adjustments to General Terms .

The definition of “Shares” in the Confirmation is replaced in its entirety with the following new definition:

“The ordinary shares, par value [0.03] 2 Euros per share, of [Wright Medical Group N.V.] (Exchange symbol “WMGI”). As a result, for the avoidance of doubt, references to “Issuer” and to “Company” throughout this Confirmation refer to [Wright Medical Group N.V.].”.

 

3. Representations and Warranties .

Parent hereby represents and warrants to Dealer on the date hereof, and in the case of the representations in Section 3(a) below, at all times until termination of the Transaction that:

 

  (a) Parent has all necessary corporate power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations in respect of the Transaction as amended by this

 

2  

Global – to be conformed to the par value of the Parent’s ordinary shares on the date of the Amendment.


  Amendment; such execution, delivery and performance have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on Parent’s part; and this Amendment has been duly and validly executed and delivered by Parent and constitutes its valid and binding obligation, enforceable against Parent in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights and remedies generally, and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity, including principles of commercial reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding at law or in equity) and except that rights to indemnification and contribution hereunder may be limited by federal or state securities laws or public policy relating thereto.

In the event Issuer shall not have issued to Dealer the full number of Shares or Restricted Shares otherwise to be issued by Issuer to Dealer pursuant to the terms of the Transaction because Issuer has insufficient authorized capital to issue the full number of Shares or Restricted Shares (such deficit, the “ Deficit Shares ”), Issuer shall be continually obligated to transfer, from time to time, Shares or Restricted Shares, as the case may be, to Dealer until the full number of Deficit Shares have been transferred pursuant to this Section 9(p)(ii), when, and to the extent that Shares are repurchased, acquired or otherwise received by Company or any of its subsidiaries after the Trade Date (whether or not in exchange for cash, fair value or any other consideration), provided that in no event shall Issuer transfer any Shares or Restricted Shares to Dealer pursuant to this Section 9(p)(ii) to the extent that such transfer would cause the aggregate number of Shares and Restricted Shares transferred to Dealer to exceed the Maximum Number of Shares. Issuer shall immediately notify Dealer of the occurrence of any of the foregoing events (including the number of Shares that are repurchased, acquired or otherwise received by Company or any of its subsidiaries after the Trade Date and the corresponding number of Shares or Restricted Shares, as the case may be, to be transferred) and promptly transfer such Shares or Restricted Shares, as the case may be, thereafter.

If any issue and/or delivery owed to Dealer under the Transaction is not made, in whole or in part, as a result of this provision, Parent’s obligation to make such issue and/or delivery shall not be extinguished and Parent shall make such issue and delivery as promptly as practicable after, but in no event later than one Business Day after, Dealer (whether on or after the original date of issue and delivery of the relevant Share) pays such amounts to the Parent as a payment ( volstorting ) on such Share as required under this provision to give effect to such issue or otherwise takes such steps (if any) as required under Dutch law to give effect to such issue.

The definitions and provisions contained in the 2002 ISDA Equity Derivatives Definitions (the “ Equity Definitions ”), as published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc.

Each party is hereby advised, and each such party acknowledges, that the other party has engaged in, or refrained from engaging in, substantial financial transactions and has taken other material actions in reliance upon the parties’ entry into the Transaction to which this Confirmation relates on the terms and conditions set forth below.

1. This Confirmation evidences a complete and binding agreement between Dealer and Company as to the terms of the Transaction to which this Confirmation relates. This Confirmation shall supplement, form a part of, and be subject to an agreement in the form of the

The parties hereby agree that no Transaction other than the Transaction to which this Confirmation relates shall be governed by the Agreement.

8. Representations and Warranties of Company .

Each of the representations and warranties of Company set forth in Section 3 of the Purchase Agreement (the “ Purchase Agreement ”), dated as of February 9, 2015, between Company and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, as representative of the Initial Purchasers party thereto (the “ Initial Purchasers ”), are true and correct and are hereby deemed to be repeated to Dealer as if set forth herein. Company hereby further represents and warrants to Dealer on the date hereof, on and as of the Premium Payment Date and, in the case of the representations in Section 8(d), at all times until termination of the Transaction, that:

 

  (a) Company has all necessary corporate power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations in respect of the Transaction; such execution, delivery and performance have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on Company’s part; and this Confirmation has been duly and validly executed and delivered by Company and constitutes its valid and binding obligation, enforceable against Company in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights and remedies generally, and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity, including principles of commercial reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding at law or in equity) and except that rights to indemnification and contribution hereunder may be limited by federal or state securities laws or public policy relating thereto.


  (b) Neither the execution and delivery of this Confirmation nor the incurrence or performance of obligations of Company hereunder will conflict with or result in a breach of the certificate of incorporation or by-laws (or any equivalent documents) of Company, or any applicable law or regulation, or any order, writ, injunction or decree of any court or governmental authority or agency, or any agreement or instrument to which Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party or by which Company or any of its subsidiaries is bound or to which Company or any of its subsidiaries is subject, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation of any lien under, any such agreement or instrument.

 

  (c) No consent, approval, authorization, or order of, or filing with, any governmental agency or body or any court is required in connection with the execution, delivery or performance by Company of this Confirmation, except such as have been obtained or made and such as may be required under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ Securities Act ”) or state securities laws.

 

  (d) A number of Shares equal to the Maximum Number of Shares (as defined below) (the “ Warrant Shares ”) have been reserved for issuance by all required corporate action of Issuer. The Warrant Shares have been duly authorized and, when delivered against payment therefor (which may include Net Share Settlement in lieu of cash) and otherwise as contemplated by the terms of the Warrants following the exercise of the Warrants in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Warrants, will be validly issued, fully-paid and non-assessable, and the issuance of the Warrant Shares will not be subject to any preemptive or similar rights and the Warrant Shares shall upon issuance (subject to notice of issuance) be accepted for listing or quotation on the Exchange.

 

  (e) Company is not and, after consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, will not be required to register as an “investment company” as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

 

  (f) Company is an “eligible contract participant” (as such term is defined in Section 1a(18) of the Commodity Exchange Act, as amended, other than a person that is an eligible contract participant under Section 1a(18) (C) of the Commodity Exchange Act).

 

  (g) Company and each of its affiliates are not, on the date hereof, in possession of any material non-public information with respect to Company or the Shares.

 

  (h)

No state or local (including any non-U.S. jurisdiction’s) law, rule, regulation or regulatory order applicable to the Shares would give rise to any reporting, consent, registration or other requirement (including without limitation a requirement to obtain prior approval from any person or entity), except for the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act and rules promulgated thereunder, or,


  at and after the Tornier Merger Transaction, the reporting or registration requirements of the Dutch Corporate Income Tax Act 1969 ( Wet op de vennootschapsbelasting 1969 ), in each case, as a result of Dealer or its affiliates owning or holding (however defined) Shares.

 

  (i) Company (A) is capable of evaluating investment risks independently, both in general and with regard to all transactions and investment strategies involving a security or securities; (B) will exercise independent judgment in evaluating the recommendations of any broker-dealer or its associated persons, unless it has otherwise notified the broker-dealer in writing; and (C) has total assets of at least $50 million.

9. Other Provisions .

 

  (a) Opinions . In connection with the entry into or consummation of any Non-US Merger Transaction (as defined below) (other than the Permitted Tornier Merger Transaction), Issuer shall deliver to Dealer an opinion of counsel (subject to customary qualifications, assumptions and exceptions), dated as of the date of such Non-US Merger Transaction, with respect to the matters set forth in Sections 8(a), 8(b), 8(c) and 8(d) of this Confirmation (as if references therein to (i) “execute, deliver” were replaced with “assume”, (ii) “execution, delivery” and “execution and delivery” were replaced with “assumption” and (iii) “executed and delivered” were replaced with “assumed”). “ Non-US Merger Transaction ” means any Merger Event, reincorporation of Issuer, corporate inversion of Issuer or similar transaction pursuant to which (x) the consideration for the Shares includes (or, at the option of a holder of Shares, may include) shares of an entity or person that is not a corporation or is not organized under the laws of the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia or (y) the Issuer following such Merger Event, reincorporation of Issuer or corporate inversion of Issuer is organized in a jurisdiction other than the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia.

 

  (b)

Repurchase Notices . Issuer shall, on any day on which Issuer effects any repurchase of Shares, promptly give Dealer a written notice of such repurchase (a “ Repurchase Notice ”) on such day if following such repurchase, the number of outstanding Shares on such day, subject to any adjustments provided herein, is (i) less than 49,032,912 (in the case of the first such notice) or (ii) thereafter more than 1,880,680 less than the number of Shares included in the immediately preceding Repurchase Notice. Issuer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Dealer and its affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, affiliates, advisors, agents and controlling persons (each, an “ Indemnified Person ”) from and against any and all losses (including losses relating to Dealer’s hedging activities as a consequence of becoming, or of the risk of becoming, a Section 16 “insider”, including without limitation, any forbearance from hedging activities or cessation of hedging activities and any losses in connection therewith with respect to the Transaction), claims, damages, judgments, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees), joint or several, which an


  Indemnified Person actually may become subject to, as a result of Issuer’s failure to provide Dealer with a Repurchase Notice on the day and in the manner specified in this paragraph, and to reimburse, within 30 days, upon written request, each of such Indemnified Persons for any reasonable legal or other expenses incurred in connection with investigating, preparing for, providing testimony or other evidence in connection with or defending any of the foregoing. If any suit, action, proceeding (including any governmental or regulatory investigation), claim or demand shall be brought or asserted against the Indemnified Person, such Indemnified Person shall promptly notify Issuer in writing, and Issuer, upon request of the Indemnified Person, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person to represent the Indemnified Person and any others Issuer may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel related to such proceeding. Issuer shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, Issuer agrees to indemnify any Indemnified Person from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Issuer shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Person, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Person is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding on terms reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person. If the indemnification provided for in this paragraph is unavailable to an Indemnified Person or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then Issuer under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Person thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Person as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities. The remedies provided for in this paragraph are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any Indemnified Person at law or in equity. The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this paragraph shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the termination of the Transaction.

 

  (c) Regulation M . Issuer is not on the Trade Date engaged in a distribution, as such term is used in Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “ Exchange Act” ), of any securities of Issuer, other than a distribution meeting the requirements of the exception set forth in Rules 101(b)(10) and 102(b)(7) of Regulation M. Issuer shall not, until the second Scheduled Trading Day immediately following the Effective Date, engage in any such distribution.

 

  (d) No Manipulation . Issuer is not entering into the Transaction to create actual or apparent trading activity in the Shares (or any security convertible into or exchangeable for the Shares) or to raise or depress or otherwise manipulate the price of the Shares (or any security convertible into or exchangeable for the Shares) or otherwise in violation of the Exchange Act.


  (e)

Transfer or Assignment . Company may not transfer any of its rights or obligations under the Transaction without the prior written consent of Dealer; provided, however , without limitation of any other provision hereof, that the consummation of the Permitted Tornier Merger Transaction shall not be deemed to be a transfer or assignment of the Company’s rights and obligations under the Transaction. Dealer may, without Company’s or Issuer’s (if other than Company) consent, transfer or assign all or any part of its rights or obligations under the Transaction to any third party; provided , however , that the transferee or assignee shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment of additional amounts under Section 2(d)(i)(4) of the Agreement than Dealer would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Tax Law that occurs after the date of the transfer or assignment. If at any time at which (A) the Section 16 Percentage exceeds 7.5%, (B) the Warrant Equity Percentage exceeds 14.5%, or (C) the Share Amount exceeds the Applicable Share Limit (if any applies) (any such condition described in clauses (A), (B) or (C), an “ Excess Ownership Position ”), Dealer is unable after using its commercially reasonable efforts to effect a transfer or assignment of Warrants to a third party on pricing terms reasonably acceptable to Dealer and within a time period reasonably acceptable to Dealer such that no Excess Ownership Position exists, then Dealer may designate any Exchange Business Day as an Early Termination Date with respect to a portion of the Transaction (the “ Terminated Portion ”), such that following such partial termination no Excess Ownership Position exists. In the event that Dealer so designates an Early Termination Date with respect to a Terminated Portion, a payment shall be made pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement as if (1) an Early Termination Date had been designated in respect of a Transaction having terms identical to the Transaction and a Number of Warrants equal to the number of Warrants underlying the Terminated Portion, (2) Company were the sole Affected Party with respect to such partial termination and (3) the Terminated Portion were the sole Affected Transaction (and, for the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of Section 9(j) shall apply to any amount that is payable by Company to Dealer pursuant to this sentence as if Company was not the Affected Party). The “ Section 16 Percentage” as of any day is the fraction, expressed as a percentage, (A) the numerator of which is the number of Shares that Dealer and each person subject to aggregation of Shares with Dealer under Section 13 or Section 16 of the Exchange Act and rules promulgated thereunder directly or indirectly beneficially own (as defined under Section 13 or Section 16 of the Exchange Act and rules promulgated thereunder) and (B) the denominator of which is the number of Shares outstanding. The “ Warrant Equity Percentage ” as of any day is the fraction, expressed as a percentage, (A) the numerator of which is the sum of (1) the product of the Number of Warrants and the Warrant Entitlement and (2) the aggregate number of Shares underlying any other warrants purchased by Dealer from Company or Issuer, as applicable, and (B) the denominator of which is the number of Shares outstanding. The “ Share Amount ” as of any day is the number of Shares that Dealer and any person whose ownership position would be aggregated with that of Dealer (Dealer or any such person, a “ Dealer Person ”)


  under any law, rule, regulation, regulatory order or organizational documents or contracts of Issuer that are, in each case, applicable to ownership of Shares (“ Applicable Restrictions ”), owns, beneficially owns, constructively owns, controls, holds the power to vote or otherwise meets a relevant definition of ownership under any Applicable Restriction, as determined by Dealer in its reasonable discretion. The “ Applicable Share Limit ” means a number of Shares equal to (A) the minimum number of Shares that could give rise to reporting or registration obligations or other requirements (including obtaining prior approval from any person or entity) of a Dealer Person, or could result in an adverse effect on a Dealer Person, under any Applicable Restriction, as determined by Dealer in its reasonable discretion, minus (B) 1% of the number of Shares outstanding. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Confirmation to the contrary requiring or allowing Dealer to purchase, sell, receive or deliver any Shares or other securities, or make or receive any payment in cash, to or from Company or Issuer, as applicable, Dealer may designate any of its affiliates to purchase, sell, receive or deliver such Shares or other securities, or make or receive such payment in cash, and otherwise to perform Dealer’s obligations in respect of the Transaction and any such designee may assume such obligations. Dealer shall be discharged of its obligations to Company or Issuer (if other than Company) to the extent of any such performance.

 

  (f) Dividends . If at any time during the period from and including the Effective Date, to and including the last Expiration Date, an ex-dividend date for a cash dividend occurs with respect to the Shares (an “ Ex-Dividend Date ”), then the Calculation Agent will adjust any of the Strike Price, Number of Warrants, Daily Number of Warrants and/or any other variable relevant to the exercise, settlement or payment of the Transaction to preserve the fair value of the Warrants to Dealer after taking into account such dividend.

 

  (g) Role of Agent . Each party agrees and acknowledges that (i) J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, an affiliate of JPMorgan (“ JPMS ”), has acted solely as agent for Dealer and not as principal with respect to the Transaction and (ii) JPMS has no obligation or liability, by way of guaranty, endorsement or otherwise, in any manner in respect of the Transaction (including, if applicable, in respect of the settlement thereof). Each party agrees it will look solely to the other party (or any guarantor in respect thereof) for performance of such other party’s obligations under the Transaction. For the avoidance of doubt, any performance by Dealer of its obligations hereunder solely to JPMS shall not relieve Dealer of such obligations. Any performance by Counterparty of its obligations (including notice obligations) through or by means of JPMS’ agency for Dealer shall constitute good performance of Counterparty’s obligations hereunder to Dealer.


  (h) Additional Provisions .

 

  (i) Amendments to the Equity Definitions:

In making adjustments in respect of a Potential Adjustment Event occurring pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph, Company acknowledges and agrees that Dealer may take into account the economic cost to Dealer of the Relevant Excess Amount; provided that, Company may elect to pay to Dealer, within three Currency Business Days of notice of the relevant


adjustment to Company, an amount in EUR equal to the Relevant Excess Amount, in which case Dealer shall not make such adjustment to the extent it reflects the economic cost to Dealer of the Relevant Excess Amount.

  (y) (1) deleting subsection (C) in its entirety, (2) deleting the word “or” immediately preceding subsection (C), (3) deleting the penultimate sentence in its entirety and replacing it with the sentence “The Hedging Party will determine the Cancellation Amount payable by one party to the other.” and (4) deleting clause (X) in the final sentence.

 

  (ii)

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Confirmation, upon the occurrence of one of the following events, with respect to the Transaction, (1) Dealer shall have the right to designate such event an Additional Termination Event and designate an Early Termination Date pursuant to Section 6(b) of the Agreement, (2) Company shall be deemed the sole Affected Party with respect to such Additional Termination Event and (3) the Transaction, or, at the election of Dealer in its reasonable discretion, any portion of the Transaction, shall be deemed the sole Affected Transaction; provided that if Dealer so designates an Early Termination Date with respect to a portion of the Transaction, (a) a


  payment shall be made pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement as if an Early Termination Date had been designated in respect of a Transaction having terms identical to the Transaction and a Number of Warrants equal to the number of Warrants included in the terminated portion of the Transaction, and (b) for the avoidance of doubt, the Transaction shall remain in full force and effect except that the Number of Warrants shall be reduced by the number of Warrants included in such terminated portion:

 

  (A) A “person” or “group” within the meaning of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, other than Issuer or its subsidiaries files a Schedule TO or any schedule, form or report under the Exchange Act disclosing that such person or group has become the direct or indirect “beneficial owner,” as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act, of the common equity of Issuer representing more than 50% of the voting power of such common equity.

  reference property for the Shares becomes such consideration, excluding cash payments for fractional Shares. For purposes of the exception described in the immediately preceding proviso, any transaction or event described under both clause (A) above and this clause (B) will be evaluated solely under this clause (B).

The “ Cut-Off Date ” shall mean 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on September 30, 2015, which date may be extended by the Company in its sole discretion by written notice to Dealer (which notice contains a representation and warranty from Company that Company and each of its affiliates are not, on the date thereof, in possession of any material non-public information with respect to Company or the Shares) to a date not beyond December 31, 2015.


  (F) At or after the Effective Time of the Tornier Merger Transaction, the Company ceases to be, (1) a U.S. Entity, or (2) a corporation or entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes organized and existing under the laws of the Islands of Bermuda, the Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland, Luxembourg, the Republic of Ireland, Canada or the United Kingdom.

 

  (G) Within 90 calendar days of the Effective Time of the Tornier Merger Transaction, each of the Company and Wright Medical Group N.V. has not executed and delivered to Dealer an amendment to this Confirmation substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A hereto and/or has not delivered to Dealer the legal opinions required thereunder. For the avoidance of doubt, none of a Hedging Disruption, Increased Cost of Hedging, Loss of Stock Borrow and/or Increased Cost of Stock Borrow shall occur solely as a result of Dealer not receiving such executed amendment and legal opinions as of any day prior to the end of such 90 calendar day period.

 

  (H) Dealer, despite using commercially reasonable efforts, is unable or reasonably determines that it is impractical or illegal, to hedge its exposure with respect to the Transaction in the public market without registration under the Securities Act or as a result of any legal, regulatory or self-regulatory requirements or related policies and procedures (whether or not such requirements, policies or procedures are imposed by law or have been voluntarily adopted by Dealer).

 

  (i) No Collateral or Setoff . Notwithstanding any provision of the Agreement or any other agreement between the parties to the contrary, the obligations of Company hereunder are not secured by any collateral. Obligations under the Transaction shall not be set off by either party against any other obligations of the parties, whether arising under the Agreement, this Confirmation, under any other agreement between the parties hereto, by operation of law or otherwise. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event of bankruptcy or liquidation of either Company or Dealer, neither party shall have the right to set off any obligation that it may have to the other party under the Transaction against any obligation such other party may have to it, whether arising under the Agreement, this Confirmation or any other agreement between the parties hereto, by operation of law or otherwise.

 

  (j) Alternative Calculations and Payment on Early Termination and on Certain Extraordinary Events .

 

  (i)

If, in respect of the Transaction, an amount is payable by Company to Dealer, (A) pursuant to Section 12.7 or Section 12.9 of the Equity Definitions or (B) pursuant to Section 6(d)(ii) of the Agreement (any such amount, a “ Payment Obligation ”), Company shall satisfy the Payment


  Obligation by the Share Termination Alternative (as defined below), unless (a) Company gives irrevocable telephonic notice to Dealer, confirmed in writing within one Scheduled Trading Day, no later than 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Merger Date, Tender Offer Date, Announcement Date (in the case of a Nationalization, Insolvency or Delisting), Early Termination Date or date of cancellation, as applicable, of its election that the Share Termination Alternative shall not apply, (b) Company remakes the representation set forth in Section 8(g) as of the date of such election and (c) Dealer agrees, in its sole discretion, to such election, in which case the provisions of Section 12.7 or Section 12.9 of the Equity Definitions, or the provisions of Section 6(d)(ii) of the Agreement, as the case may be, shall apply.

 

Share Termination Alternative:    If applicable, Company shall deliver to Dealer the Share Termination Delivery Property on the date (the “ Share Termination Payment Date ”) on which the Payment Obligation would otherwise be due pursuant to Section 12.7 or Section 12.9 of the Equity Definitions or Section 6(d)(ii) of the Agreement, as applicable, subject to Section 9(k)(i) below, in satisfaction, subject to Section 9(k)(ii) below, of the relevant Payment Obligation, in the manner reasonably requested by Dealer free of payment.
Share Termination Delivery Property:   
A number of Share Termination Delivery Units, as calculated by the Calculation Agent, equal to the relevant Payment Obligation divided by the Share Termination Unit Price. The Calculation Agent shall adjust the amount of Share Termination Delivery Property by replacing any fractional portion of a security therein with an amount of cash equal to the value of such fractional security based on the values used to calculate the Share Termination Unit Price (without giving effect to any discount pursuant to Section 9(k)(i)).
Share Termination Unit Price:    The value to Dealer of property contained in one Share Termination Delivery Unit on the date such Share Termination Delivery Units


   are to be delivered as Share Termination Delivery Property, as determined by the Calculation Agent in its discretion by commercially reasonable means. In the case of a Private Placement of Share Termination Delivery Units that are Restricted Shares (as defined below), as set forth in Section 9(k)(i) below, the Share Termination Unit Price shall be determined by the discounted price applicable to such Share Termination Delivery Units. In the case of a Registration Settlement of Share Termination Delivery Units that are Restricted Shares (as defined below) as set forth in Section 9(k)(ii) below, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Share Termination Unit Price shall be the Settlement Price on the Merger Date, Tender Offer Date, Announcement Date (in the case of a Nationalization, Insolvency or Delisting), Early Termination Date or date of cancellation, as applicable. The Calculation Agent shall notify Company of the Share Termination Unit Price at the time of notification of such Payment Obligation to Company or, if applicable, at the time the discounted price applicable to the relevant Share Termination Units is determined pursuant to Section 9(k)(i).
Share Termination Delivery Unit:   
One Share or, if the Shares have changed into cash or any other property or the right to receive cash or any other property as the result of a Nationalization, Insolvency or Merger Event (any such cash or other property, the “ Exchange Property ”), a unit consisting of the type and amount of Exchange Property received by a holder of one Share (without consideration of any requirement to pay cash or other consideration in lieu of fractional amounts of any securities) in such Nationalization, Insolvency or Merger Event. If such Nationalization, Insolvency or Merger Event involves a choice of Exchange Property to be received by holders, such holder shall be deemed to have elected to receive the maximum possible amount of cash.


Failure to Deliver:    Inapplicable
Other applicable provisions:    If Share Termination Alternative is applicable, the provisions of Sections 9.8, 9.9, 9.11 and 9.12 (as modified above) of the Equity Definitions will be applicable, except that all references in such provisions to “Physically-settled” shall be read as references to “Share Termination Settled” and all references to “Shares” shall be read as references to “Share Termination Delivery Units”. “Share Termination Settled” in relation to the Transaction means that the Share Termination Alternative is applicable to the Transaction.

 

  (k) Registration/Private Placement Procedures . If, in the reasonable opinion of Dealer, following any delivery of Shares or Share Termination Delivery Property to Dealer hereunder, such Shares or Share Termination Delivery Property would be in the hands of Dealer subject to any applicable restrictions with respect to any registration or qualification requirement or prospectus delivery requirement for such Shares or Share Termination Delivery Property pursuant to any applicable federal or state securities law (including, without limitation, any such requirement arising under Section 5 of the Securities Act as a result of such Shares or Share Termination Delivery Property being “restricted securities”, as such term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act, or as a result of the sale of such Shares or Share Termination Delivery Property being subject to paragraph (c) of Rule 145 under the Securities Act) (such Shares or Share Termination Delivery Property, “ Restricted Shares ”), then delivery of such Restricted Shares shall be effected pursuant to either clause (i) or (ii) below at the election of Issuer, unless Dealer waives the need for registration/private placement procedures set forth in (i) and (ii) below. Notwithstanding the foregoing, solely in respect of any Daily Number of Warrants exercised or deemed exercised on any Expiration Date, Issuer shall elect, prior to the first Settlement Date for the first applicable Expiration Date, a Private Placement Settlement or Registration Settlement for all deliveries of Restricted Shares for all such Expiration Dates which election shall be applicable to all remaining Settlement Dates for such Warrants and the procedures in clause (i) or clause (ii) below shall apply for all such delivered Restricted Shares on an aggregate basis commencing after the final Settlement Date for such Warrants. The Calculation Agent shall make reasonable adjustments to settlement terms and provisions under this Confirmation to reflect a single Private Placement or Registration Settlement for such aggregate Restricted Shares delivered hereunder.


  (i) If Issuer elects to settle the Transaction pursuant to this clause (i) (a “ Private Placement Settlement ”), then delivery of Restricted Shares by Issuer shall be effected in customary private placement procedures with respect to such Restricted Shares reasonably acceptable to Dealer; provided that Issuer may not elect a Private Placement Settlement if, on the date of its election, it has taken, or caused to be taken, any action that would make unavailable either the exemption pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act for the sale by Issuer to Dealer (or any affiliate designated by Dealer) of the Restricted Shares or the exemption pursuant to Section 4(a)(1) or Section 4(a)(3) of the Securities Act for resales of the Restricted Shares by Dealer (or any such affiliate of Dealer). The Private Placement Settlement of such Restricted Shares shall include customary representations, covenants, blue sky and other governmental filings and/or registrations, indemnities to Dealer, due diligence rights (for Dealer or any designated buyer of the Restricted Shares by Dealer), opinions and certificates, and such other documentation as is customary for private placement agreements, all reasonably acceptable to Dealer. In the case of a Private Placement Settlement, Dealer shall determine the appropriate discount to the Share Termination Unit Price (in the case of settlement of Share Termination Delivery Units pursuant to Section 9(j) above) or any Settlement Price (in the case of settlement of Shares pursuant to Section 2 above) applicable to such Restricted Shares in a commercially reasonable manner and appropriately adjust the number of such Restricted Shares to be delivered to Dealer hereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement or this Confirmation, the date of delivery of such Restricted Shares shall be the Exchange Business Day following notice by Dealer to Issuer, of such applicable discount and the number of Restricted Shares to be delivered pursuant to this clause (i). For the avoidance of doubt, delivery of Restricted Shares shall be due as set forth in the previous sentence and not be due on the Share Termination Payment Date (in the case of settlement of Share Termination Delivery Units pursuant to Section 9(j) above) or on the Settlement Date for such Restricted Shares (in the case of settlement in Shares pursuant to Section 2 above).

 

  (ii)

If Issuer elects to settle the Transaction pursuant to this clause (ii) (a “ Registration Settlement ”), then Issuer shall promptly (but in any event no later than the beginning of the Resale Period) file and use its reasonable best efforts to make effective under the Securities Act a registration statement or supplement or amend an outstanding registration statement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Dealer, to cover the resale of such Restricted Shares in accordance with customary resale registration procedures, including covenants, conditions, representations, underwriting discounts (if applicable), commissions (if applicable), indemnities due diligence rights, opinions and certificates, and such other documentation as is customary for equity resale underwriting agreements, all reasonably acceptable to Dealer. If Dealer, in its reasonable discretion, is not satisfied


  with such procedures and documentation Private Placement Settlement shall apply. If Dealer is satisfied with such procedures and documentation, it shall sell the Restricted Shares pursuant to such registration statement during a period (the “ Resale Period ”) commencing on the Exchange Business Day following delivery of such Restricted Shares (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be (x) the Share Termination Payment Date in case of settlement in Share Termination Delivery Units pursuant to Section 9(j) above or (y) the Settlement Date in respect of the final Expiration Date for all Daily Number of Warrants) and ending on the earliest of (i) the Exchange Business Day on which Dealer completes the sale of all Restricted Shares or, in the case of settlement of Share Termination Delivery Units, a sufficient number of Restricted Shares so that the realized net proceeds of such sales equals or exceeds the Payment Obligation (as defined above), (ii) the date upon which all Restricted Shares have been sold or transferred pursuant to Rule 144 (or similar provisions then in force) or Rule 145(d)(2) (or any similar provision then in force) under the Securities Act and (iii) the date upon which all Restricted Shares may be sold or transferred by a non-affiliate pursuant to Rule 144 (or any similar provision then in force) or Rule 145(d)(2) (or any similar provision then in force) under the Securities Act. If the Payment Obligation exceeds the realized net proceeds from such resale, Issuer shall transfer to Dealer by the open of the regular trading session on the Exchange on the Exchange Trading Day immediately following such resale the amount of such excess (the “ Additional Amount ”) in cash or in a number of Shares (“ Make-whole Shares ”) in an amount that, based on the Settlement Price on such day (as if such day was the “Valuation Date” for purposes of computing such Settlement Price), has a dollar value equal to the Additional Amount. The Resale Period shall continue to enable the sale of the Make-whole Shares. If Issuer elects to pay the Additional Amount in Shares, the requirements and provisions for Registration Settlement shall apply. This provision shall be applied successively until the Additional Amount is equal to zero. In no event shall Issuer deliver a number of Restricted Shares greater than the Maximum Number of Shares.

 

  (iii)

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Issuer agrees that (A) any Restricted Shares delivered to Dealer may be transferred by and among Dealer and its affiliates and Issuer shall effect such transfer without any further action by Dealer and (B) after the period of 6 months from the Trade Date (or 1 year from the Trade Date if, at such time, informational requirements of Rule 144 (C) under the Securities Act are not satisfied with respect to Issuer) has elapsed in respect of any Restricted Shares delivered to Dealer, Issuer shall promptly remove, or cause the transfer agent for such Restricted Shares to remove, any legends referring to any such restrictions or requirements from such Restricted Shares upon request by Dealer (or such affiliate of Dealer) to Issuer or such transfer agent, without any requirement for the delivery of any certificate, consent,


  agreement, opinion of counsel, notice or any other document, any transfer tax stamps or payment of any other amount or any other action by Dealer (or such affiliate of Dealer). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, to the extent the provisions of Rule 144 of the Securities Act or any successor rule are amended, or the applicable interpretation thereof by the Securities and Exchange Commission or any court change after the Trade Date, the agreements of Issuer herein shall be deemed modified to the extent necessary, in the opinion of outside counsel of Issuer, to comply with Rule 144 of the Securities Act, as in effect at the time of delivery of the relevant Shares or Share Termination Delivery Property.

 

  (iv) If the Private Placement Settlement or the Registration Settlement shall not be effected as set forth in clauses (i) or (ii), as applicable, then failure to effect such Private Placement Settlement or such Registration Settlement shall constitute an Event of Default with respect to which Issuer shall be the Defaulting Party.

 

  (l) Limit on Beneficial Ownership . Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, Dealer may not exercise any Warrant hereunder or be entitled to take delivery of any Shares deliverable hereunder, and Automatic Exercise shall not apply with respect to any Warrant hereunder, to the extent (but only to the extent) that, after such receipt of any Shares upon the exercise of such Warrant or otherwise hereunder and after taking into account any Shares deliverable to Dealer under the letter agreement dated February 9, 2015 between Dealer and Company regarding Base Warrants (the “ Base Warrant Confirmation ”), (i) the Section 16 Percentage would exceed 7.5%, or (ii) the Share Amount would exceed the Applicable Share Limit. Any purported delivery hereunder shall be void and have no effect to the extent (but only to the extent) that, after such delivery and after taking into account any Shares deliverable to Dealer under the Base Warrant Confirmation , (i) the Section 16 Percentage would exceed 7.5%, or (ii) the Share Amount would exceed the Applicable Share Limit. If any delivery owed to Dealer hereunder is not made, in whole or in part, as a result of this provision, Company’s obligation to make such delivery shall not be extinguished and Company shall make such delivery as promptly as practicable after, but in no event later than one Business Day after, Dealer gives notice to Company that, after such delivery, (i) the Section 16 Percentage would not exceed 7.5%, and (ii) the Share Amount would not exceed the Applicable Share Limit.

 

  (m) Share Deliveries . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Issuer agrees that any delivery of Shares or Share Termination Delivery Property shall be effected by book-entry transfer through the facilities of DTC, or any successor depositary, if at the time of delivery, such class of Shares or class of Share Termination Delivery Property is in book-entry form at DTC or such successor depositary.

 

  (n)

Waiver of Jury Trial . Each party waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any right it may have to a trial by jury in respect of any suit,


  action or proceeding relating to the Transaction. Each party (i) certifies that no representative, agent or attorney of the other party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other party would not, in the event of such a suit, action or proceeding, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver and (ii) acknowledges that it and the other party have been induced to enter into the Transaction, as applicable, by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications provided herein.

 

  (o) Tax Disclosure . Effective from the date of commencement of discussions concerning the Transaction, Company and each of its employees, representatives, or other agents may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of the Transaction and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to Company relating to such tax treatment and tax structure.

 

  (p) Maximum Share Delivery .

 

  (i) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Confirmation, the Agreement or the Equity Definitions, in no event will Company at any time be required to deliver a number of Shares greater than two times the Number of Warrants (the “ Maximum Number of Shares ”) to Dealer in connection with the Transaction, subject to the provisions regarding Deficit Shares in Section 9 (p)(ii).

 

  (ii) In the event Issuer shall not have delivered to Dealer the full number of Shares or Restricted Shares otherwise deliverable by Issuer to Dealer pursuant to the terms of the Transaction because Issuer has insufficient authorized but unissued Shares (such deficit, the “ Deficit Shares ”), Issuer shall be continually obligated to deliver, from time to time, Shares or Restricted Shares, as the case may be, to Dealer until the full number of Deficit Shares have been delivered pursuant to this Section 9(p)(ii), when, and to the extent that, (A) Shares are repurchased, acquired or otherwise received by Company or any of its subsidiaries after the Trade Date (whether or not in exchange for cash, fair value or any other consideration), (B) authorized and unissued Shares previously reserved for issuance in respect of other transactions become no longer so reserved or (C) Issuer additionally authorizes any unissued Shares that are not reserved for other transactions; provided that in no event shall Issuer deliver any Shares or Restricted Shares to Dealer pursuant to this Section 9(p)(ii) to the extent that such delivery would cause the aggregate number of Shares and Restricted Shares delivered to Dealer to exceed the Maximum Number of Shares. Issuer shall immediately notify Dealer of the occurrence of any of the foregoing events (including the number of Shares subject to clause (A), (B) or (C) and the corresponding number of Shares or Restricted Shares, as the case may be, to be delivered) and promptly deliver such Shares or Restricted Shares, as the case may be, thereafter.


  (q) Right to Extend . Dealer may postpone or add, in whole or in part, any Expiration Date or any other date of valuation or delivery with respect to some or all of the relevant Warrants (in which event the Calculation Agent shall make appropriate adjustments to the Daily Number of Warrants with respect to one or more Expiration Dates) if Dealer determines, in good faith and in its commercially reasonable judgment, that such extension is reasonably necessary or appropriate to preserve Dealer’s hedging or hedge unwind activity hereunder in light of existing liquidity conditions or to enable Dealer to effect transactions with respect to Shares in connection with its hedging, hedge unwind or settlement activity hereunder in a manner that would, if Dealer were Issuer or an affiliated purchaser of Issuer, be in compliance with applicable legal, regulatory or self-regulatory requirements, or with related policies and procedures applicable to Dealer.

 

  (r) Status of Claims in Bankruptcy . Dealer acknowledges and agrees that this Confirmation is not intended to convey to Dealer rights against Issuer with respect to the Transaction that are senior to the claims of common stock shareholders of Issuer in any Dutch or United States bankruptcy proceedings of Issuer; provided that nothing herein shall limit or shall be deemed to limit Dealer’s right to pursue remedies in the event of a breach by Issuer of its obligations and agreements with respect to the Transaction other than during any such bankruptcy proceedings; provided further that nothing herein shall limit or shall be deemed to limit Dealer’s rights in respect of any transactions other than the Transaction.

 

  (s) Securities Contract; Swap Agreement . The parties hereto intend for (i) the Transaction to be a “securities contract” and a “swap agreement” as defined in the Bankruptcy Code (Title 11 of the United States Code) (the “ Bankruptcy Code ”), and the parties hereto to be entitled to the protections afforded by, among other Sections, Sections 362(b)(6), 362(b)(17), 546(e), 546(g), 555 and 560 of the Bankruptcy Code, (ii) a party’s right to liquidate the Transaction and to exercise any other remedies upon the occurrence of any Event of Default under the Agreement with respect to the other party to constitute a “contractual right” as described in the Bankruptcy Code, and (iii) each payment and delivery of cash, securities or other property hereunder to constitute a “margin payment” or “settlement payment” and a “transfer” as defined in the Bankruptcy Code.

 

  (t) Wall Street Transparency and Accountability Act . In connection with Section 739 of the Wall Street Transparency and Accountability Act of 2010 (“ WSTAA ”), the parties hereby agree that neither the enactment of WSTAA or any regulation under the WSTAA, nor any requirement under WSTAA or an amendment made by WSTAA, shall limit or otherwise impair either party’s otherwise applicable rights to terminate, renegotiate, modify, amend or supplement this Confirmation or the Agreement, as applicable, arising from a termination event, force majeure, illegality, increased costs, regulatory change or similar event under this Confirmation, the Equity Definitions incorporated herein, or the Agreement (including, but not limited to, rights arising from Change in Law, Hedging Disruption, Increased Cost of Hedging, an Excess Ownership Position, or Illegality (as defined in the Agreement)).


  (u) Agreements and Acknowledgements Regarding Hedging . Issuer understands, acknowledges and agrees that: (A) at any time on and prior to the last Expiration Date, Dealer and its affiliates may buy or sell Shares or other securities or buy or sell options or futures contracts or enter into swaps or other derivative securities in order to adjust its hedge position with respect to the Transaction; (B) Dealer and its affiliates also may be active in the market for Shares other than in connection with hedging activities in relation to the Transaction; (C) Dealer shall make its own determination as to whether, when or in what manner any hedging or market activities in securities of Issuer shall be conducted and shall do so in a manner that it deems appropriate to hedge its price and market risk with respect to the Settlement Prices; and (D) any market activities of Dealer and its affiliates with respect to Shares may affect the market price and volatility of Shares, as well as the Settlement Prices, each in a manner that may be adverse to Issuer.

 

  (v) Early Unwind . In the event the sale of the “Option Securities” (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) is not consummated with the Initial Purchasers for any reason by 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Premium Payment Date, or such later date as agreed upon by the parties (the Premium Payment Date or such later date the “ Early Unwind Date ”), the Transaction shall automatically terminate (the “ Early Unwind ”), on the Early Unwind Date and (i) the Transaction and all of the respective rights and obligations of Dealer and Company under the Transaction shall be cancelled and terminated and (ii) each party shall be released and discharged by the other party from and agrees not to make any claim against the other party with respect to any obligations or liabilities of the other party arising out of and to be performed in connection with the Transaction either prior to or after the Early Unwind Date. Each of Dealer and Company represents and acknowledges to the other that, subject to the proviso included in this Section 9(v), upon an Early Unwind, all obligations with respect to the Transaction shall be deemed fully and finally discharged.

 

  (w) Payment by Dealer . In the event that (i) an Early Termination Date occurs or is designated with respect to the Transaction as a result of a Termination Event or an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default arising under Section 5(a)(ii) or 5(a)(iv) of the Agreement) and, as a result, Dealer owes to Company an amount calculated under Section 6(e) of the Agreement, or (ii) Dealer owes to Company, pursuant to Section 12.7 or Section 12.9 of the Equity Definitions, an amount calculated under Section 12.8 of the Equity Definitions, such amount shall be deemed to be zero.

 

  (x) Designation of Dealer . Notwithstanding any other provision in this Confirmation to the contrary requiring or allowing Dealer to purchase, sell, receive or deliver any Shares or other securities to or from Company or Issuer, as applicable, Dealer may designate any of its affiliates to purchase, sell, receive or deliver such Shares or other securities and otherwise to perform Dealer obligations in respect of the Transaction and any such designee may assume such obligations. Dealer shall be discharged of its obligations to Company to the extent of any such performance.


  (y) Non-US Merger Transactions . Issuer shall not enter into or consummate any Non-US Merger Transaction unless the successor Issuer immediately following such Non-US Merger Transaction either (x) repeats to Dealer immediately following such Non-US Merger Transaction the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 8(a), 8(b), 8(c) and 8(d) of this Confirmation (as if references therein to (i) “execute, deliver” were replaced with “assume”, (ii) “execution, delivery” and “execution and delivery” were replaced with “assumption” and (iii) “executed and delivered” were replaced with “assumed”) or (y) solely in the case of the Tornier Merger Transaction, executes and delivers to Dealer an amendment to this Confirmation substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto within the time period set forth under Section 9(h)(ii)(G) above. For the avoidance of doubt, clause (x) of this paragraph shall not apply to the Permitted Tornier Merger Transaction.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Confirmation if (a) at or prior to the Tornier Merger Transaction, (1) Issuer enters into or consummates any Non-US Merger Transaction pursuant to which Issuer following such Non-US Merger Transaction is not a U.S. Entity (or, solely in the case of the Tornier Merger Transaction that occurs prior to the Cut-Off Date, not a Dutch public limited company or an entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes organized and existing under the laws of the Netherlands), (2) Company ceases to be a corporation organized under the laws of the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia that is Issuer (except solely as a result of the Tornier Merger Transaction that occurs prior to the Cut-Off Date), or (3) Issuer enters into or consummates any Non-US Merger Transaction and does not comply with the requirements of the immediately previous paragraph of this Section 9(y), or (b) after the Tornier Merger Transaction, (1) Issuer enters into or consummates any Non-US Merger Transaction pursuant to which Issuer following such Non-US Merger Transaction is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than the Islands of Bermuda, the Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland, Luxembourg, the Republic of Ireland, Canada or the United Kingdom that also becomes Company hereunder, (2) Company ceases to be Issuer or (3) Issuer enters into or consummates any Non-US Merger Transaction and does not comply with the requirements of the immediately previous paragraph of this Section 9(y), then, in any such case of clauses (a) and (b), such transaction or event shall constitute an Additional Termination Event applicable to the Transaction and, with respect to such Additional Termination Event, (A) Company shall be deemed to be the sole Affected Party, (B) the Transaction shall be the sole Affected Transaction and (C) Dealer shall be the party entitled to designate an Early Termination Date pursuant to Section 6(b) of the Agreement.

If, at any time following the occurrence of any Non-US Merger Transaction (other than the Permitted Tornier Merger Transaction), Dealer determines in good faith that (x) such Non-US Merger Transaction has had an adverse effect on Dealer’s rights and obligations under the Transaction or (y) Dealer would incur an increased amount of tax, duty, expense or fee to (1) acquire, establish, re-establish, substitute, maintain, unwind or dispose of any transaction(s) or asset(s)


it deems necessary to hedge the economic risk of entering into and performing its obligations with respect to the Transaction, or (2) realize, recover or remit the proceeds of any such transaction(s) or asset(s) (each of the events described in clause (x) and clause (y) above, a “ Non-US Merger Event ”), then, in either case, Dealer shall give notice to Company of such Non-US Merger Event. Concurrently with delivering such notice, Dealer shall give notice to Company of a Price Adjustment that Dealer reasonably and in good faith determines appropriate to account for the economic effect on the Transaction of such Non-US Merger Event (unless Dealer determines that no Price Adjustment will produce a commercially reasonably result, in which case Dealer shall so notify Company). Unless Dealer determines in good faith that no Price Adjustment will produce a commercially reasonably result, within one Scheduled Trading Day of receipt of such notice, Company shall notify Dealer that it elects to (A) agree to amend the Transaction to take into account such Price Adjustment or (B) pay Dealer an amount determined by Dealer that corresponds to such Price Adjustment (and, in each case, Company shall repeat the representation set forth in Section 8(g) of this Confirmation (which representation is confirmed to Dealer in writing by Issuer, if other than Company) as of the date of such election). If Company fails to give such notice to Dealer of its election in accordance with the foregoing by the end of that first Scheduled Trading Day, or if Dealer determines that no Price Adjustment will produce a commercially reasonably result, then such failure or such determination, as the case may be, shall constitute an Additional Termination Event applicable to the Transaction (it being understood that in the case of a Non-US Merger Event solely pursuant to clause (x) of the definition thereof, such determination shall constitute an Additional Termination Event only if the relevant adverse effect may have a material impact on Dealer’s rights and obligations under the Transaction, as determined by Dealer in good faith) and, with respect to such Additional Termination Event, (1) Company shall be deemed to be the sole Affected Party, (2) the Transaction shall be the sole Affected Transaction and (3) Dealer shall be the party entitled to designate an Early Termination Date pursuant to Section 6(b) of the Agreement.

For the avoidance of doubt, the parties hereto agree and acknowledge that (I) the occurrence of an Non-US Merger Event shall not preclude the occurrence of one or more additional, subsequent Non-US Merger Events and (II) if a Non-US Merger Event occurs, Dealer will determine, in its sole discretion, whether to exercise its rights under the provisions of this Section 9(y) and/or the rights and remedies of Dealer and its affiliates under any other provision of this Confirmation, the Equity Definitions and the Agreement.

 

  (z) Changes to Par Value . Company will promptly notify Dealer of any change to the par value of the ordinary shares of Tornier.

 

  (aa)

Non-Occurrence of Tornier Merger Transaction . If as of the Cut-Off Date both (i) the Tornier Merger Transaction has not occurred and (ii) equity securities issued by a Dutch public limited company or an entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes organized and existing under the laws of the


  Netherlands have not otherwise become included in the “Shares” hereunder, then Dealer will, within 3 Currency Business Days of the Cut-Off Date, pay to Company an amount in EUR equal to EUR 24,796.00.

Dealer shall be obliged to make the Par Value Payment to the extent set forth in Section 1(b) of an amendment to this Confirmation substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto (it being understood that Dealer will not be obliged to make such Par Value Payment to the extent Dealer makes the payment required pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph).

 

  (bb) Certain Restricted Transactions . During the period commencing on, and including, the Trade Date and ending when Wright Medical Group N.V. executes and delivers to Dealer an amendment to this Confirmation substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A hereto, Company shall not, without Dealer’s prior written consent, sell, convey, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of a material amount of its, or its subsidiaries’, properties or assets to Tornier or its affiliates provided, however , that nothing in this subsection (bb) shall require the consent of the Dealer to consummate the Permitted Tornier Merger Transaction. For purposes of the preceding sentence, a material amount of the Company’s, or its subsidiaries’, properties or assets shall be deemed to be 15% or more on an aggregated basis of the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ properties and assets.

Subject: Amendment to the Additional Warrant Confirmation dated February 10, 2015

The purpose of this Amendment to the Confirmation (this “ Amendment ”) is to amend certain terms and conditions of the Transaction (as defined below). Reference is made to the letter agreement dated as of February 10, 2015 (the “ Confirmation ”) that confirms the terms and conditions of the Warrants issued by the Company to the Dealer as of the Trade Date, as amended hereby (the “ Transaction ”). Capitalized terms used herein but not defined herein shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Confirmation; provided that if such meaning is amended thereby, such amended meaning shall apply.

On [            ], 2015 at [        ] [a.m.] / [p.m.], Company and [Wright Medical Group N.V.] 1 (which was previously known as Tornier N.V., the “ Parent ”) completed the Tornier Merger Transaction.

 

1   Global - To be conformed to the legal name of Tornier N.V. post the Tornier Merger Transaction.


In consideration of the premises and the agreements, provisions and covenants contained in this Amendment, Company, Dealer and Parent hereby agree as follows:

 

1. Assignment and Assumption .

 

  (a) For an agreed consideration, the Company hereby assigns to the Parent, and the Parent hereby irrevocably assumes from the Company, as of the date hereof, all the obligations of Company under the Confirmation and all the obligations of the “Issuer” (with the meaning of such term amended in accordance with Section 2(a) below) under the Confirmation, provided that the representations and warranties of the Company in Section 8 of the Confirmation shall be replaced by the representations and warranties of the Parent in Section 3 of this Amendment. From and after the date hereof, Parent shall assume and succeed to the obligation of the Company to make due and punctual payment and delivery of all payment and delivery obligations under the Confirmation and the performance and observation of every covenant or other obligation on the part of the Company and/or the Issuer to be performed or observed by it.

 

  (b) On or prior to the Currency Business Day immediately following the date hereof, the Dealer shall transfer to the Parent a cash amount in Euros (the “ Par Value Payment ”) equal to the product of (i) a number of Shares equal to the Number of Warrants multiplied by the Warrant Entitlement, subject to any adjustments made to such numbers by the Calculation Agent on or prior to the date of such payment, and (ii) the par value per Share as of such date. Such Par Value Payment shall constitute an advance payment for purposes of paying up the Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants. Upon receipt, Parent shall reserve the Par Value Payment and apply the Par Value Payment against the obligation to pay-up the Shares upon exercise of the Warrants. To the extent that the Par Value Payment exceeds the aggregate nominal value of the Shares issued upon exercise of the Warrants, then such excess shall be regarded as share premium.

 

2. Adjustments to General Terms .

The definition of “Shares” in the Confirmation is replaced in its entirety with the following new definition:

“The ordinary shares, par value [0.03] 2 Euros per share, of [Wright Medical Group N.V.] (Exchange symbol “WMGI”). As a result, for the avoidance of doubt, references to “Issuer” and to “Company” throughout this Confirmation refer to [Wright Medical Group N.V.].”.

  (b) Neither the execution and delivery of this Amendment nor the incurrence or performance of obligations of Parent hereunder will conflict with or result in a breach of the articles of association of Parent, or any applicable law or regulation, or any order, writ, injunction or decree of any court or governmental authority or agency, or any agreement or instrument to which Parent or any of its subsidiaries is a party or by which Parent or any of its subsidiaries is bound or to which Parent or any of its subsidiaries is subject, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation of any lien under, any such agreement or instrument.

 

  (c) No consent, approval, authorization, or order of, or filing with, any governmental agency or body or any court is required in connection with the execution, delivery or performance by Parent of this Amendment, except such as have been obtained or made and such as may be required under the Securities Act or state securities laws or under the Dutch Act on Financial Supervision ( Wet op het Financieel Toezicht ).

 

  (d) The Warrant Shares have been duly authorized and, upon payment in full of the Warrant Shares (which may include Net Share Settlement in lieu of cash) in accordance with Section 5 below and otherwise as contemplated by the terms of the Warrants following the exercise of the Warrants in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Warrants, will be validly issued, fully-paid, and the issuance of the Warrant Shares will not be subject to any preemptive or similar rights and the Warrant Shares shall upon issuance be accepted for listing or quotation on the Exchange.

  (g) Parent and each of its affiliates are not, on the date hereof, in possession of any material non-public information with respect to Parent or the Shares.

 

  (h) No state or local (including any non-U.S. jurisdiction’s) law, rule, regulation or regulatory order applicable to the Shares would give rise to any reporting, consent, registration or other requirement (including without limitation a requirement to obtain prior approval from any person or entity), except for the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act and rules promulgated thereunder, or, at and after the Tornier Merger Transaction, the reporting or registration requirements of the Dutch Corporate Income Tax Act 1969 (Wet op de vennootschapsbelasting 1969), in each case, as a result of Dealer or its affiliates owning or holding (however defined) Shares.

 

  (i) Parent (A) is capable of evaluating investment risks independently, both in general and with regard to all transactions and investment strategies involving a security or securities; (B) will exercise independent judgment in evaluating the recommendations of any broker-dealer or its associated persons, unless it has otherwise notified the broker-dealer in writing; and (C) has total assets of at least $50 million.

3   Insert the number of Shares outstanding that would cause Dealer’s current position in the Warrants (including the number of Warrants if the greenshoe is exercised in full, and any warrants under pre-existing warrant transactions with Issuer) to increase by 0.5%.
4   Insert the number of Shares that, if repurchased, would cause Dealer’s current position in the Warrants (including the number of Warrants if the greenshoe is exercised in full, and any warrants under pre-existing warrant transactions with Issuer) to increase by a further 0.5% from the threshold for the first Repurchase Notice.


  (c) Additional Termination Events . Section 9(h)(ii) of the Confirmation is hereby amended by inserting the following clause (J) at the end thereof:

The “ Notional Unwind Shares ” as of any day is a number of Shares equal to (1) the amount that would be payable pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement (determined as of such day as if an Early Termination Date had been designated in respect of the Transaction and as if the Company were the sole Affected Party and the Transaction were the sole Affected Transaction), divided by (2) the Settlement Price (determined as if such day were a Valuation Date). “ Par Value Delivery Number ” means a number of Shares equal to (i) the Par Value Payment divided by (ii) the par value per Share.

 

  (d) Alternative Calculations and Payment on Early Termination and on Certain Extraordinary Events . Section 9(j)(b) of the Confirmation is replaced in its entirety with the following new Section 9(j)(b):

In the event Issuer shall not have issued to Dealer the full number of Shares or Restricted Shares otherwise to be issued by Issuer to Dealer pursuant to the terms of the Transaction because Issuer has insufficient authorized capital to issue the full number of Shares or Restricted Shares (such deficit, the “ Deficit Shares ”), Issuer shall be continually obligated to transfer, from time to time, Shares or Restricted Shares, as the case may be, to Dealer until the full number of Deficit Shares have been transferred pursuant to this Section 9(p)(ii), when, and to the extent that Shares are repurchased, acquired or otherwise received by Company or any of its subsidiaries after the Trade Date (whether or not in exchange for cash, fair value or any other consideration), provided that in no event shall Issuer transfer any Shares or Restricted Shares to Dealer pursuant to this Section 9(p)(ii) to the extent that such transfer would cause the aggregate number of Shares and Restricted Shares transferred to Dealer to exceed the Maximum Number of Shares. Issuer shall immediately notify Dealer of the occurrence of any of the foregoing events (including the number of Shares that are repurchased, acquired or otherwise received by Company or any of its subsidiaries after the Trade Date and the corresponding number of Shares or Restricted Shares, as the case may be, to be transferred) and promptly transfer such Shares or Restricted Shares, as the case may be, thereafter.

 

5. Share Issue . Dealer acknowledges that to the extent (but solely to the extent) the issue of a Share hereunder would result in (i) the amount in EUR equal to the product of (x) the aggregate number of Shares issued to Dealer pursuant hereto and (y) the par value per Share to exceed (ii) the aggregate amount in EUR paid to Parent in connection with the Transaction (whether pursuant to the Par Value Payment or otherwise paid to Parent for purposes of paying up the aggregate par value of the Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, and whether on the date of issue or delivery of such Share or at such prior time as Dealer may elect), Parent will not be required to issue such Share unless and until Dealer pays such amounts to the Parent as a payment ( volstorting ) on such Share as required to eliminate such excess or otherwise takes such steps (if any) as required under Dutch law to give effect to such issue. If any issue and/or delivery owed to Dealer under the Transaction is not made, in whole or in part, as a result of this provision, Parent’s obligation to make such issue and/or delivery shall not be extinguished and Parent shall make such issue and delivery as promptly as practicable after, but in no event later than one Business Day after, Dealer (whether on or after the original date of issue and delivery of the relevant Share) pays such amounts to the Parent as a payment ( volstorting ) on such Share as required under this provision to give effect to such issue or otherwise takes such steps (if any) as required under Dutch law to give effect to such issue.


6. Scope of the Amendment . This Amendment amends solely the terms and provisions of the Transaction and the Confirmation set forth herein and nothing in this Amendment is intended or shall be construed as amending or waiving any other terms or provisions of the Transaction, the Confirmation or any other rights of the Company or Dealer under the Transaction or the Confirmation. Company, Parent and Dealer acknowledge that each of the Transaction and the Confirmation (each as amended by this Amendment) are in full force and effect and is hereby confirmed and ratified in all respects. References in the Confirmation to the Transaction or the Confirmation shall mean the Transaction or the Confirmation as amended by this Amendment.

 

7. Governing Law . This Amendment will be governed by and construed in accordance with laws of the State of New York (without reference to choice of law doctrine).

 

8. Waiver of Jury Trial . Each party waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any right it may have to a trial by jury in respect of any suit, action or proceeding relating to the Transaction, as amended by this Amendment. Each party (i) certifies that no representative, agent or attorney of any party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other party would not, in the event of such a suit, action or proceeding, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver and (ii) acknowledges that it and the other parties have been induced to enter into the Transaction, as amended by this Amendment, as applicable, by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications provided herein.

 

9. Counterparts . This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument.

Announcement Event Adjustment Date for such Warrant, the Calculation Agent may make such adjustment to the exercise, settlement, payment or any other terms of such Warrant as the Calculation Agent determines appropriate to account for such economic effect, which adjustment shall be effective immediately prior to the exercise, termination or cancellation of such Warrant, as the case may be.

Each of the representations and warranties of Company set forth in Section 3 of the Purchase Agreement (the “ Purchase Agreement ”), dated as of February 9, 2015, between Company and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, as representative of the Initial Purchasers party thereto (the “ Initial Purchasers ”), are true and correct and are hereby deemed to be repeated to Dealer as if set forth herein. Company hereby further represents and warrants to Dealer on the date hereof, on and as of the Premium Payment Date and, in the case of the representations in Section 8(d), at all times until termination of the Transaction, that:

 

  (a) Company has all necessary corporate power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations in respect of the Transaction; such execution, delivery and performance have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on Company’s part; and this Confirmation has been duly and validly executed and delivered by Company and constitutes its valid and binding obligation, enforceable against Company in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights and remedies generally, and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity, including principles of commercial reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding at law or in equity) and except that rights to indemnification and contribution hereunder may be limited by federal or state securities laws or public policy relating thereto.


  (b) Neither the execution and delivery of this Confirmation nor the incurrence or performance of obligations of Company hereunder will conflict with or result in a breach of the certificate of incorporation or by-laws (or any equivalent documents) of Company, or any applicable law or regulation, or any order, writ, injunction or decree of any court or governmental authority or agency, or any agreement or instrument to which Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party or by which Company or any of its subsidiaries is bound or to which Company or any of its subsidiaries is subject, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation of any lien under, any such agreement or instrument.

 

  (c) No consent, approval, authorization, or order of, or filing with, any governmental agency or body or any court is required in connection with the execution, delivery or performance by Company of this Confirmation, except such as have been obtained or made and such as may be required under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ Securities Act ”) or state securities laws.

 

  (d) A number of Shares equal to the Maximum Number of Shares (as defined below) (the “ Warrant Shares ”) have been reserved for issuance by all required corporate action of Issuer. The Warrant Shares have been duly authorized and, when delivered against payment therefor (which may include Net Share Settlement in lieu of cash) and otherwise as contemplated by the terms of the Warrants following the exercise of the Warrants in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Warrants, will be validly issued, fully-paid and non-assessable, and the issuance of the Warrant Shares will not be subject to any preemptive or similar rights and the Warrant Shares shall upon issuance (subject to notice of issuance) be accepted for listing or quotation on the Exchange.

 

  (e) Company is not and, after consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, will not be required to register as an “investment company” as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

 

  (f) Company is an “eligible contract participant” (as such term is defined in Section 1a(18) of the Commodity Exchange Act, as amended, other than a person that is an eligible contract participant under Section 1a(18) (C) of the Commodity Exchange Act).

 

  (g) Company and each of its affiliates are not, on the date hereof, in possession of any material non-public information with respect to Company or the Shares.

 

  (h)

No state or local (including any non-U.S. jurisdiction’s) law, rule, regulation or regulatory order applicable to the Shares would give rise to any reporting, consent, registration or other requirement (including without limitation a requirement to obtain prior approval from any person or entity), except for the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act and rules promulgated thereunder, or,


  at and after the Tornier Merger Transaction, the reporting or registration requirements of the Dutch Corporate Income Tax Act 1969 ( Wet op de vennootschapsbelasting 1969 ), in each case, as a result of Dealer or its affiliates owning or holding (however defined) Shares.

 

  (i) Company (A) is capable of evaluating investment risks independently, both in general and with regard to all transactions and investment strategies involving a security or securities; (B) will exercise independent judgment in evaluating the recommendations of any broker-dealer or its associated persons, unless it has otherwise notified the broker-dealer in writing; and (C) has total assets of at least $50 million.

9. Other Provisions .

 

  (a) Opinions . In connection with the entry into or consummation of any Non-US Merger Transaction (as defined below) (other than the Permitted Tornier Merger Transaction), Issuer shall deliver to Dealer an opinion of counsel (subject to customary qualifications, assumptions and exceptions), dated as of the date of such Non-US Merger Transaction, with respect to the matters set forth in Sections 8(a), 8(b), 8(c) and 8(d) of this Confirmation (as if references therein to (i) “execute, deliver” were replaced with “assume”, (ii) “execution, delivery” and “execution and delivery” were replaced with “assumption” and (iii) “executed and delivered” were replaced with “assumed”). “ Non-US Merger Transaction ” means any Merger Event, reincorporation of Issuer, corporate inversion of Issuer or similar transaction pursuant to which (x) the consideration for the Shares includes (or, at the option of a holder of Shares, may include) shares of an entity or person that is not a corporation or is not organized under the laws of the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia or (y) the Issuer following such Merger Event, reincorporation of Issuer or corporate inversion of Issuer is organized in a jurisdiction other than the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia.

 

  (b)

Repurchase Notices . Issuer shall, on any day on which Issuer effects any repurchase of Shares, promptly give Dealer a written notice of such repurchase (a “ Repurchase Notice ”) on such day if following such repurchase, the number of outstanding Shares on such day, subject to any adjustments provided herein, is (i) less than 48,074,186 (in the case of the first such notice) or (ii) thereafter more than 2,663,694 less than the number of Shares included in the immediately preceding Repurchase Notice. Issuer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Dealer and its affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, affiliates, advisors, agents and controlling persons (each, an “ Indemnified Person ”) from and against any and all losses (including losses relating to Dealer’s hedging activities as a consequence of becoming, or of the risk of becoming, a Section 16 “insider”, including without limitation, any forbearance from hedging activities or cessation of hedging activities and any losses in connection therewith with respect to the Transaction), claims, damages, judgments, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees), joint or several, which an


  Indemnified Person actually may become subject to, as a result of Issuer’s failure to provide Dealer with a Repurchase Notice on the day and in the manner specified in this paragraph, and to reimburse, within 30 days, upon written request, each of such Indemnified Persons for any reasonable legal or other expenses incurred in connection with investigating, preparing for, providing testimony or other evidence in connection with or defending any of the foregoing. If any suit, action, proceeding (including any governmental or regulatory investigation), claim or demand shall be brought or asserted against the Indemnified Person, such Indemnified Person shall promptly notify Issuer in writing, and Issuer, upon request of the Indemnified Person, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person to represent the Indemnified Person and any others Issuer may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel related to such proceeding. Issuer shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, Issuer agrees to indemnify any Indemnified Person from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Issuer shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Person, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Person is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding on terms reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person. If the indemnification provided for in this paragraph is unavailable to an Indemnified Person or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then Issuer under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Person thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Person as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities. The remedies provided for in this paragraph are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any Indemnified Person at law or in equity. The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this paragraph shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the termination of the Transaction.

 

  (c) Regulation M . Issuer is not on the Trade Date engaged in a distribution, as such term is used in Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “ Exchange Act ), of any securities of Issuer, other than a distribution meeting the requirements of the exception set forth in Rules 101(b)(10) and 102(b)(7) of Regulation M. Issuer shall not, until the second Scheduled Trading Day immediately following the Effective Date, engage in any such distribution.

 

  (d) No Manipulation . Issuer is not entering into the Transaction to create actual or apparent trading activity in the Shares (or any security convertible into or exchangeable for the Shares) or to raise or depress or otherwise manipulate the price of the Shares (or any security convertible into or exchangeable for the Shares) or otherwise in violation of the Exchange Act.


  (e)

Transfer or Assignment . Company may not transfer any of its rights or obligations under the Transaction without the prior written consent of Dealer; provided, however , without limitation of any other provision hereof, that the consummation of the Permitted Tornier Merger Transaction shall not be deemed to be a transfer or assignment of the Company’s rights and obligations under the Transaction. Dealer may, without Company’s or Issuer’s (if other than Company) consent, transfer or assign all or any part of its rights or obligations under the Transaction to any third party; provided , however , that the transferee or assignee shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment of additional amounts under Section 2(d)(i)(4) of the Agreement than Dealer would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Tax Law that occurs after the date of the transfer or assignment. If at any time at which (A) the Section 16 Percentage exceeds 7.5%, (B) the Warrant Equity Percentage exceeds 14.5%, or (C) the Share Amount exceeds the Applicable Share Limit (if any applies) (any such condition described in clauses (A), (B) or (C), an “ Excess Ownership Position ”), Dealer is unable after using its commercially reasonable efforts to effect a transfer or assignment of Warrants to a third party on pricing terms reasonably acceptable to Dealer and within a time period reasonably acceptable to Dealer such that no Excess Ownership Position exists, then Dealer may designate any Exchange Business Day as an Early Termination Date with respect to a portion of the Transaction (the “ Terminated Portion ”), such that following such partial termination no Excess Ownership Position exists. In the event that Dealer so designates an Early Termination Date with respect to a Terminated Portion, a payment shall be made pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement as if (1) an Early Termination Date had been designated in respect of a Transaction having terms identical to the Transaction and a Number of Warrants equal to the number of Warrants underlying the Terminated Portion, (2) Company were the sole Affected Party with respect to such partial termination and (3) the Terminated Portion were the sole Affected Transaction (and, for the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of Section 9(j) shall apply to any amount that is payable by Company to Dealer pursuant to this sentence as if Company was not the Affected Party). The “ Section 16 Percentage as of any day is the fraction, expressed as a percentage, (A) the numerator of which is the number of Shares that Dealer and each person subject to aggregation of Shares with Dealer under Section 13 or Section 16 of the Exchange Act and rules promulgated thereunder directly or indirectly beneficially own (as defined under Section 13 or Section 16 of the Exchange Act and rules promulgated thereunder) and (B) the denominator of which is the number of Shares outstanding. The “ Warrant Equity Percentage ” as of any day is the fraction, expressed as a percentage, (A) the numerator of which is the sum of (1) the product of the Number of Warrants and the Warrant Entitlement and (2) the aggregate number of Shares underlying any other warrants purchased by Dealer from Company or Issuer, as applicable, and (B) the denominator of which is the number of Shares outstanding. The “ Share Amount ” as of any day is the number of Shares that Dealer and any person whose ownership position would be aggregated with that of Dealer (Dealer or any such person, a “ Dealer Person ”)


  under any law, rule, regulation, regulatory order or organizational documents or contracts of Issuer that are, in each case, applicable to ownership of Shares (“ Applicable Restrictions ”), owns, beneficially owns, constructively owns, controls, holds the power to vote or otherwise meets a relevant definition of ownership under any Applicable Restriction, as determined by Dealer in its reasonable discretion. The “ Applicable Share Limit ” means a number of Shares equal to (A) the minimum number of Shares that could give rise to reporting or registration obligations or other requirements (including obtaining prior approval from any person or entity) of a Dealer Person, or could result in an adverse effect on a Dealer Person, under any Applicable Restriction, as determined by Dealer in its reasonable discretion, minus (B) 1% of the number of Shares outstanding. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Confirmation to the contrary requiring or allowing Dealer to purchase, sell, receive or deliver any Shares or other securities, or make or receive any payment in cash, to or from Company or Issuer, as applicable, Dealer may designate any of its affiliates to purchase, sell, receive or deliver such Shares or other securities, or make or receive such payment in cash, and otherwise to perform Dealer’s obligations in respect of the Transaction and any such designee may assume such obligations. Dealer shall be discharged of its obligations to Company or Issuer (if other than Company) to the extent of any such performance.

 

  (f) Dividends . If at any time during the period from and including the Effective Date, to and including the last Expiration Date, an ex-dividend date for a cash dividend occurs with respect to the Shares (an “ Ex-Dividend Date ”), then the Calculation Agent will adjust any of the Strike Price, Number of Warrants, Daily Number of Warrants and/or any other variable relevant to the exercise, settlement or payment of the Transaction to preserve the fair value of the Warrants to Dealer after taking into account such dividend.

 

  (g) [Reserved. ]

In making adjustments in respect of a Potential Adjustment Event occurring pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph, Company acknowledges and agrees that Dealer may take into account the economic cost to Dealer of the Relevant Excess Amount; provided that, Company may elect to pay to Dealer, within three Currency Business Days of notice of the relevant adjustment to Company, an amount in EUR equal to the Relevant Excess Amount, in which case Dealer shall not make such adjustment to the extent it reflects the economic cost to Dealer of the Relevant Excess Amount.

  (ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Confirmation, upon the occurrence of one of the following events, with respect to the Transaction, (1) Dealer shall have the right to designate such event an Additional Termination Event and designate an Early Termination Date pursuant to Section 6(b) of the Agreement, (2) Company shall be deemed the sole Affected Party with respect to such Additional Termination Event and (3) the Transaction, or, at the election of Dealer in its reasonable discretion, any portion of the Transaction, shall be deemed the sole Affected Transaction; provided that if Dealer so designates an Early Termination Date with respect to a portion of the Transaction, (a) a payment shall be made pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement as if an Early Termination Date had been designated in respect of a Transaction having terms identical to the Transaction and a Number of Warrants equal to the number of Warrants included in the terminated portion of the Transaction, and (b) for the avoidance of doubt, the Transaction shall remain in full force and effect except that the Number of Warrants shall be reduced by the number of Warrants included in such terminated portion:

 

  (A)

A “person” or “group” within the meaning of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, other than Issuer or its subsidiaries files a Schedule TO or any schedule, form or report under the Exchange Act


  disclosing that such person or group has become the direct or indirect “beneficial owner,” as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act, of the common equity of Issuer representing more than 50% of the voting power of such common equity. The Permitted Tornier Merger Transaction will not constitute an Additional Termination Event pursuant to this clause (A).

 

  (B) Consummation of (I) any recapitalization, reclassification or change of the Shares (other than changes resulting from a subdivision or combination), including resulting from the Tornier Merger Transaction (except if it constitutes the Permitted Tornier Merger Transaction), as a result of which the Shares would be converted into, or exchanged for, stock, other securities, other property or assets; (II) any share exchange, consolidation or merger of Issuer pursuant to which the Shares will be converted into cash, securities or other property; or (III) any sale, lease or other transfer in one transaction or a series of transactions of all or substantially all of the consolidated assets of Issuer and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to any person other than one of Issuer’s subsidiaries; provided , however , that a transaction or transactions described in this clause (B) shall not constitute an Additional Termination Event pursuant to this clause (B), if at least 90% of the consideration received or to be received by holders of the Shares, excluding cash payments for fractional Shares and cash payments made pursuant to dissenters’ appraisal rights, in connection with such transaction or transactions consists of shares of common stock (1) a U.S. Entity or (2) a corporation or entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes organized and existing under the laws of the Islands of Bermuda, the Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland, Luxembourg, the Republic of Ireland, Canada or the United Kingdom, in each case, that are listed or quoted on any of The New York Stock Exchange, The NASDAQ Global Select Market or The NASDAQ Global Market (or any of their respective successors) or will be so listed or quoted when issued or exchanged in connection with such transaction or transactions, and as a result of such transaction or transactions, the reference property for the Shares becomes such consideration, excluding cash payments for fractional Shares. For purposes of the exception described in the immediately preceding proviso, any transaction or event described under both clause (A) above and this clause (B) will be evaluated solely under this clause (B). The Permitted Tornier Merger Transaction will not constitute an Additional Termination Event pursuant to this clause (B).

 

  (C)

Default by the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries with respect to any mortgage, agreement or other instrument under which there may be outstanding, or by which there may be secured or evidenced, any


  indebtedness for money borrowed in excess of $25 million in the aggregate of the Issuer and/or any such subsidiary, whether such indebtedness now exists or shall hereafter be created (i) resulting in such indebtedness becoming or being accelerated and declared due and payable prior to its stated maturity date or (ii) constituting a failure to pay the principal or interest of any such debt when due and payable (after the expiration of any applicable grace period) at its stated maturity, upon required repurchase, upon declaration of acceleration or otherwise; provided, however, the acceleration of any indebtedness of Parent as a result of the Permitted Tornier Merger Transaction shall not constitute an Additional Termination Event pursuant to this clause (C) if such accelerated indebtedness is repaid in full within 50 calendar days.

 

  (D) Certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency, or reorganization of the Issuer or any of its significant subsidiaries as defined in Article 1, Rule 1-02 of Regulation S-X.

 

  (E) The Tornier Merger Transaction is consummated but (i) does not constitute the Permitted Tornier Merger Transaction, (ii) occurs on or after the Cut-Off Date (as defined below) or (iii) within 90 calendar days of the Effective Time of the Tornier Merger Transaction, Tornier has not fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior basis the Company’s obligations under the Indenture to be dated February 13, 2015 between Company and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee (the “ Indenture ”) and the Company’s 2.00% Cash Convertible Senior Notes due 2020 (the “ Notes ”). The “ Cut-Off Date ” shall mean 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on September 30, 2015, which date may be extended by the Company in its sole discretion by written notice to Dealer (which notice contains a representation and warranty from Company that Company and each of its affiliates are not, on the date thereof, in possession of any material non-public information with respect to Company or the Shares) to a date not beyond December 31, 2015.

 

  (F) At or after the Effective Time of the Tornier Merger Transaction, the Company ceases to be, (1) a U.S. Entity, or (2) a corporation or entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes organized and existing under the laws of the Islands of Bermuda, the Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland, Luxembourg, the Republic of Ireland, Canada or the United Kingdom.

 

  (G)

Within 90 calendar days of the Effective Time of the Tornier Merger Transaction, each of the Company and Wright Medical Group N.V. has not executed and delivered to Dealer an amendment to this Confirmation substantially in the form set forth


  in Exhibit A hereto and/or has not delivered to Dealer the legal opinions required thereunder. For the avoidance of doubt, none of a Hedging Disruption, Increased Cost of Hedging, Loss of Stock Borrow and/or Increased Cost of Stock Borrow shall occur solely as a result of Dealer not receiving such executed amendment and legal opinions as of any day prior to the end of such 90 calendar day period.

 

  (H) Dealer, despite using commercially reasonable efforts, is unable or reasonably determines that it is impractical or illegal, to hedge its exposure with respect to the Transaction in the public market without registration under the Securities Act or as a result of any legal, regulatory or self-regulatory requirements or related policies and procedures (whether or not such requirements, policies or procedures are imposed by law or have been voluntarily adopted by Dealer).

 

  (i) No Collateral or Setoff . Notwithstanding any provision of the Agreement or any other agreement between the parties to the contrary, the obligations of Company hereunder are not secured by any collateral. Obligations under the Transaction shall not be set off by either party against any other obligations of the parties, whether arising under the Agreement, this Confirmation, under any other agreement between the parties hereto, by operation of law or otherwise. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event of bankruptcy or liquidation of either Company or Dealer, neither party shall have the right to set off any obligation that it may have to the other party under the Transaction against any obligation such other party may have to it, whether arising under the Agreement, this Confirmation or any other agreement between the parties hereto, by operation of law or otherwise.

 

  (j) Alternative Calculations and Payment on Early Termination and on Certain Extraordinary Events .

 

  (i) If, in respect of the Transaction, an amount is payable by Company to Dealer, (A) pursuant to Section 12.7 or Section 12.9 of the Equity Definitions or (B) pursuant to Section 6(d)(ii) of the Agreement (any such amount, a “ Payment Obligation ”), Company shall satisfy the Payment Obligation by the Share Termination Alternative (as defined below), unless (a) Company gives irrevocable telephonic notice to Dealer, confirmed in writing within one Scheduled Trading Day, no later than 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Merger Date, Tender Offer Date, Announcement Date (in the case of a Nationalization, Insolvency or Delisting), Early Termination Date or date of cancellation, as applicable, of its election that the Share Termination Alternative shall not apply, (b) Company remakes the representation set forth in Section 8(g) as of the date of such election and (c) Dealer agrees, in its sole discretion, to such election, in which case the provisions of Section 12.7 or Section 12.9 of the Equity Definitions, or the provisions of Section 6(d)(ii) of the Agreement, as the case may be, shall apply.


Share Termination Alternative:    If applicable, Company shall deliver to Dealer the Share Termination Delivery Property on the date (the “ Share Termination Payment Date ”) on which the Payment Obligation would otherwise be due pursuant to Section 12.7 or Section 12.9 of the Equity Definitions or Section 6(d)(ii) of the Agreement, as applicable, subject to Section 9(k)(i) below, in satisfaction, subject to Section 9(k)(ii) below, of the relevant Payment Obligation, in the manner reasonably requested by Dealer free of payment.
Share Termination Delivery Property:    A number of Share Termination Delivery Units, as calculated by the Calculation Agent, equal to the relevant Payment Obligation divided by the Share Termination Unit Price. The Calculation Agent shall adjust the amount of Share Termination Delivery Property by replacing any fractional portion of a security therein with an amount of cash equal to the value of such fractional security based on the values used to calculate the Share Termination Unit Price (without giving effect to any discount pursuant to Section 9(k)(i)).
Share Termination Unit Price:    The value to Dealer of property contained in one Share Termination Delivery Unit on the date such Share Termination Delivery Units are to be delivered as Share Termination Delivery Property, as determined by the Calculation Agent in its discretion by commercially reasonable means. In the case of a Private Placement of Share Termination Delivery Units that are Restricted Shares (as defined below), as set forth in Section 9(k)(i) below, the Share Termination Unit Price shall be determined by the discounted price applicable to such Share


   Termination Delivery Units. In the case of a Registration Settlement of Share Termination Delivery Units that are Restricted Shares (as defined below) as set forth in Section 9(k)(ii) below, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Share Termination Unit Price shall be the Settlement Price on the Merger Date, Tender Offer Date, Announcement Date (in the case of a Nationalization, Insolvency or Delisting), Early Termination Date or date of cancellation, as applicable. The Calculation Agent shall notify Company of the Share Termination Unit Price at the time of notification of such Payment Obligation to Company or, if applicable, at the time the discounted price applicable to the relevant Share Termination Units is determined pursuant to Section 9(k)(i).
Share Termination Delivery Unit:    One Share or, if the Shares have changed into cash or any other property or the right to receive cash or any other property as the result of a Nationalization, Insolvency or Merger Event (any such cash or other property, the “ Exchange Property ”), a unit consisting of the type and amount of Exchange Property received by a holder of one Share (without consideration of any requirement to pay cash or other consideration in lieu of fractional amounts of any securities) in such Nationalization, Insolvency or Merger Event. If such Nationalization, Insolvency or Merger Event involves a choice of Exchange Property to be received by holders, such holder shall be deemed to have elected to receive the maximum possible amount of cash.
Failure to Deliver:    Inapplicable
Other applicable provisions:    If Share Termination Alternative is applicable, the provisions of Sections 9.8, 9.9, 9.11 and 9.12 (as modified above) of the Equity Definitions will be applicable, except


   that all references in such provisions to “Physically-settled” shall be read as references to “Share Termination Settled” and all references to “Shares” shall be read as references to “Share Termination Delivery Units”. “Share Termination Settled” in relation to the Transaction means that the Share Termination Alternative is applicable to the Transaction.

 

  (k) Registration/Private Placement Procedures . If, in the reasonable opinion of Dealer, following any delivery of Shares or Share Termination Delivery Property to Dealer hereunder, such Shares or Share Termination Delivery Property would be in the hands of Dealer subject to any applicable restrictions with respect to any registration or qualification requirement or prospectus delivery requirement for such Shares or Share Termination Delivery Property pursuant to any applicable federal or state securities law (including, without limitation, any such requirement arising under Section 5 of the Securities Act as a result of such Shares or Share Termination Delivery Property being “restricted securities”, as such term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act, or as a result of the sale of such Shares or Share Termination Delivery Property being subject to paragraph (c) of Rule 145 under the Securities Act) (such Shares or Share Termination Delivery Property, “ Restricted Shares ”), then delivery of such Restricted Shares shall be effected pursuant to either clause (i) or (ii) below at the election of Issuer, unless Dealer waives the need for registration/private placement procedures set forth in (i) and (ii) below. Notwithstanding the foregoing, solely in respect of any Daily Number of Warrants exercised or deemed exercised on any Expiration Date, Issuer shall elect, prior to the first Settlement Date for the first applicable Expiration Date, a Private Placement Settlement or Registration Settlement for all deliveries of Restricted Shares for all such Expiration Dates which election shall be applicable to all remaining Settlement Dates for such Warrants and the procedures in clause (i) or clause (ii) below shall apply for all such delivered Restricted Shares on an aggregate basis commencing after the final Settlement Date for such Warrants. The Calculation Agent shall make reasonable adjustments to settlement terms and provisions under this Confirmation to reflect a single Private Placement or Registration Settlement for such aggregate Restricted Shares delivered hereunder.

 

  (i)

If Issuer elects to settle the Transaction pursuant to this clause (i) (a “ Private Placement Settlement ”), then delivery of Restricted Shares by Issuer shall be effected in customary private placement procedures with respect to such Restricted Shares reasonably acceptable to Dealer; provided that Issuer may not elect a Private Placement Settlement if, on the date of its election, it has taken, or caused to be taken, any action that would make unavailable either the exemption pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act for the sale by Issuer to Dealer (or any affiliate designated by Dealer) of the Restricted Shares or the exemption pursuant


  to Section 4(a)(1) or Section 4(a)(3) of the Securities Act for resales of the Restricted Shares by Dealer (or any such affiliate of Dealer). The Private Placement Settlement of such Restricted Shares shall include customary representations, covenants, blue sky and other governmental filings and/or registrations, indemnities to Dealer, due diligence rights (for Dealer or any designated buyer of the Restricted Shares by Dealer), opinions and certificates, and such other documentation as is customary for private placement agreements, all reasonably acceptable to Dealer. In the case of a Private Placement Settlement, Dealer shall determine the appropriate discount to the Share Termination Unit Price (in the case of settlement of Share Termination Delivery Units pursuant to Section 9(j) above) or any Settlement Price (in the case of settlement of Shares pursuant to Section 2 above) applicable to such Restricted Shares in a commercially reasonable manner and appropriately adjust the number of such Restricted Shares to be delivered to Dealer hereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement or this Confirmation, the date of delivery of such Restricted Shares shall be the Exchange Business Day following notice by Dealer to Issuer, of such applicable discount and the number of Restricted Shares to be delivered pursuant to this clause (i). For the avoidance of doubt, delivery of Restricted Shares shall be due as set forth in the previous sentence and not be due on the Share Termination Payment Date (in the case of settlement of Share Termination Delivery Units pursuant to Section 9(j) above) or on the Settlement Date for such Restricted Shares (in the case of settlement in Shares pursuant to Section 2 above).

 

  (ii)

If Issuer elects to settle the Transaction pursuant to this clause (ii) (a “ Registration Settlement ”), then Issuer shall promptly (but in any event no later than the beginning of the Resale Period) file and use its reasonable best efforts to make effective under the Securities Act a registration statement or supplement or amend an outstanding registration statement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Dealer, to cover the resale of such Restricted Shares in accordance with customary resale registration procedures, including covenants, conditions, representations, underwriting discounts (if applicable), commissions (if applicable), indemnities due diligence rights, opinions and certificates, and such other documentation as is customary for equity resale underwriting agreements, all reasonably acceptable to Dealer. If Dealer, in its reasonable discretion, is not satisfied with such procedures and documentation Private Placement Settlement shall apply. If Dealer is satisfied with such procedures and documentation, it shall sell the Restricted Shares pursuant to such registration statement during a period (the “ Resale Period ”) commencing on the Exchange Business Day following delivery of such Restricted Shares (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be (x) the Share Termination Payment Date in case of settlement in Share Termination Delivery Units pursuant to Section 9(j) above or (y) the Settlement Date in respect of the final Expiration Date for all Daily Number of Warrants) and


  ending on the earliest of (i) the Exchange Business Day on which Dealer completes the sale of all Restricted Shares or, in the case of settlement of Share Termination Delivery Units, a sufficient number of Restricted Shares so that the realized net proceeds of such sales equals or exceeds the Payment Obligation (as defined above), (ii) the date upon which all Restricted Shares have been sold or transferred pursuant to Rule 144 (or similar provisions then in force) or Rule 145(d)(2) (or any similar provision then in force) under the Securities Act and (iii) the date upon which all Restricted Shares may be sold or transferred by a non-affiliate pursuant to Rule 144 (or any similar provision then in force) or Rule 145(d)(2) (or any similar provision then in force) under the Securities Act. If the Payment Obligation exceeds the realized net proceeds from such resale, Issuer shall transfer to Dealer by the open of the regular trading session on the Exchange on the Exchange Trading Day immediately following such resale the amount of such excess (the “ Additional Amount ”) in cash or in a number of Shares (“ Make-whole Shares ”) in an amount that, based on the Settlement Price on such day (as if such day was the “Valuation Date” for purposes of computing such Settlement Price), has a dollar value equal to the Additional Amount. The Resale Period shall continue to enable the sale of the Make-whole Shares. If Issuer elects to pay the Additional Amount in Shares, the requirements and provisions for Registration Settlement shall apply. This provision shall be applied successively until the Additional Amount is equal to zero. In no event shall Issuer deliver a number of Restricted Shares greater than the Maximum Number of Shares.

 

  (iii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Issuer agrees that (A) any Restricted Shares delivered to Dealer may be transferred by and among Dealer and its affiliates and Issuer shall effect such transfer without any further action by Dealer and (B) after the period of 6 months from the Trade Date (or 1 year from the Trade Date if, at such time, informational requirements of Rule 144 (C) under the Securities Act are not satisfied with respect to Issuer) has elapsed in respect of any Restricted Shares delivered to Dealer, Issuer shall promptly remove, or cause the transfer agent for such Restricted Shares to remove, any legends referring to any such restrictions or requirements from such Restricted Shares upon request by Dealer (or such affiliate of Dealer) to Issuer or such transfer agent, without any requirement for the delivery of any certificate, consent, agreement, opinion of counsel, notice or any other document, any transfer tax stamps or payment of any other amount or any other action by Dealer (or such affiliate of Dealer). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, to the extent the provisions of Rule 144 of the Securities Act or any successor rule are amended, or the applicable interpretation thereof by the Securities and Exchange Commission or any court change after the Trade Date, the agreements of Issuer herein shall be deemed modified to the extent necessary, in the opinion of outside counsel of Issuer, to comply with Rule 144 of the Securities Act, as in effect at the time of delivery of the relevant Shares or Share Termination Delivery Property.

 

  (iv) If the Private Placement Settlement or the Registration Settlement shall not be effected as set forth in clauses (i) or (ii), as applicable, then failure to effect such Private Placement Settlement or such Registration Settlement shall constitute an Event of Default with respect to which Issuer shall be the Defaulting Party.


  (l) Limit on Beneficial Ownership . Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, Dealer may not exercise any Warrant hereunder or be entitled to take delivery of any Shares deliverable hereunder, and Automatic Exercise shall not apply with respect to any Warrant hereunder, to the extent (but only to the extent) that, after such receipt of any Shares upon the exercise of such Warrant or otherwise hereunder, (i) the Section 16 Percentage would exceed 7.5%, or (ii) the Share Amount would exceed the Applicable Share Limit. Any purported delivery hereunder shall be void and have no effect to the extent (but only to the extent) that, after such delivery, (i) the Section 16 Percentage would exceed 7.5%, or (ii) the Share Amount would exceed the Applicable Share Limit. If any delivery owed to Dealer hereunder is not made, in whole or in part, as a result of this provision, Company’s obligation to make such delivery shall not be extinguished and Company shall make such delivery as promptly as practicable after, but in no event later than one Business Day after, Dealer gives notice to Company that, after such delivery, (i) the Section 16 Percentage would not exceed 7.5%, and (ii) the Share Amount would not exceed the Applicable Share Limit.

 

  (m) Share Deliveries . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Issuer agrees that any delivery of Shares or Share Termination Delivery Property shall be effected by book-entry transfer through the facilities of DTC, or any successor depositary, if at the time of delivery, such class of Shares or class of Share Termination Delivery Property is in book-entry form at DTC or such successor depositary.

 

  (n) Waiver of Jury Trial . Each party waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any right it may have to a trial by jury in respect of any suit, action or proceeding relating to the Transaction. Each party (i) certifies that no representative, agent or attorney of the other party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other party would not, in the event of such a suit, action or proceeding, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver and (ii) acknowledges that it and the other party have been induced to enter into the Transaction, as applicable, by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications provided herein.

 

  (o) Tax Disclosure . Effective from the date of commencement of discussions concerning the Transaction, Company and each of its employees, representatives, or other agents may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of the Transaction and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to Company relating to such tax treatment and tax structure.


  (p) Maximum Share Delivery .

 

  (i) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Confirmation, the Agreement or the Equity Definitions, in no event will Company at any time be required to deliver a number of Shares greater than two times the Number of Warrants (the “ Maximum Number of Shares ”) to Dealer in connection with the Transaction, subject to the provisions regarding Deficit Shares in Section 9 (p)(ii).

 

  (ii) In the event Issuer shall not have delivered to Dealer the full number of Shares or Restricted Shares otherwise deliverable by Issuer to Dealer pursuant to the terms of the Transaction because Issuer has insufficient authorized but unissued Shares (such deficit, the “ Deficit Shares ”), Issuer shall be continually obligated to deliver, from time to time, Shares or Restricted Shares, as the case may be, to Dealer until the full number of Deficit Shares have been delivered pursuant to this Section 9(p)(ii), when, and to the extent that, (A) Shares are repurchased, acquired or otherwise received by Company or any of its subsidiaries after the Trade Date (whether or not in exchange for cash, fair value or any other consideration), (B) authorized and unissued Shares previously reserved for issuance in respect of other transactions become no longer so reserved or (C) Issuer additionally authorizes any unissued Shares that are not reserved for other transactions; provided that in no event shall Issuer deliver any Shares or Restricted Shares to Dealer pursuant to this Section 9(p)(ii) to the extent that such delivery would cause the aggregate number of Shares and Restricted Shares delivered to Dealer to exceed the Maximum Number of Shares. Issuer shall immediately notify Dealer of the occurrence of any of the foregoing events (including the number of Shares subject to clause (A), (B) or (C) and the corresponding number of Shares or Restricted Shares, as the case may be, to be delivered) and promptly deliver such Shares or Restricted Shares, as the case may be, thereafter.

 

  (q) Right to Extend . Dealer may postpone or add, in whole or in part, any Expiration Date or any other date of valuation or delivery with respect to some or all of the relevant Warrants (in which event the Calculation Agent shall make appropriate adjustments to the Daily Number of Warrants with respect to one or more Expiration Dates) if Dealer determines, in good faith and in its commercially reasonable judgment, that such extension is reasonably necessary or appropriate to preserve Dealer’s hedging or hedge unwind activity hereunder in light of existing liquidity conditions or to enable Dealer to effect transactions with respect to Shares in connection with its hedging, hedge unwind or settlement activity hereunder in a manner that would, if Dealer were Issuer or an affiliated purchaser of Issuer, be in compliance with applicable legal, regulatory or self-regulatory requirements, or with related policies and procedures applicable to Dealer.


  (r) Status of Claims in Bankruptcy . Dealer acknowledges and agrees that this Confirmation is not intended to convey to Dealer rights against Issuer with respect to the Transaction that are senior to the claims of common stock shareholders of Issuer in any Dutch or United States bankruptcy proceedings of Issuer; provided that nothing herein shall limit or shall be deemed to limit Dealer’s right to pursue remedies in the event of a breach by Issuer of its obligations and agreements with respect to the Transaction other than during any such bankruptcy proceedings; provided further that nothing herein shall limit or shall be deemed to limit Dealer’s rights in respect of any transactions other than the Transaction.

 

  (s) Securities Contract; Swap Agreement . The parties hereto intend for (i) the Transaction to be a “securities contract” and a “swap agreement” as defined in the Bankruptcy Code (Title 11 of the United States Code) (the “ Bankruptcy Code ”), and the parties hereto to be entitled to the protections afforded by, among other Sections, Sections 362(b)(6), 362(b)(17), 546(e), 546(g), 555 and 560 of the Bankruptcy Code, (ii) a party’s right to liquidate the Transaction and to exercise any other remedies upon the occurrence of any Event of Default under the Agreement with respect to the other party to constitute a “contractual right” as described in the Bankruptcy Code, and (iii) each payment and delivery of cash, securities or other property hereunder to constitute a “margin payment” or “settlement payment” and a “transfer” as defined in the Bankruptcy Code.

 

  (t) Wall Street Transparency and Accountability Act . In connection with Section 739 of the Wall Street Transparency and Accountability Act of 2010 (“ WSTAA ”), the parties hereby agree that neither the enactment of WSTAA or any regulation under the WSTAA, nor any requirement under WSTAA or an amendment made by WSTAA, shall limit or otherwise impair either party’s otherwise applicable rights to terminate, renegotiate, modify, amend or supplement this Confirmation or the Agreement, as applicable, arising from a termination event, force majeure, illegality, increased costs, regulatory change or similar event under this Confirmation, the Equity Definitions incorporated herein, or the Agreement (including, but not limited to, rights arising from Change in Law, Hedging Disruption, Increased Cost of Hedging, an Excess Ownership Position, or Illegality (as defined in the Agreement)).

 

  (u)

Agreements and Acknowledgements Regarding Hedging . Issuer understands, acknowledges and agrees that: (A) at any time on and prior to the last Expiration Date, Dealer and its affiliates may buy or sell Shares or other securities or buy or sell options or futures contracts or enter into swaps or other derivative securities in order to adjust its hedge position with respect to the Transaction; (B) Dealer and its affiliates also may be active in the market for Shares other than in connection with hedging activities in relation to the Transaction; (C) Dealer shall make its own determination as to whether, when or in what manner any hedging or market activities in securities of Issuer shall be conducted and shall do so in a


  manner that it deems appropriate to hedge its price and market risk with respect to the Settlement Prices; and (D) any market activities of Dealer and its affiliates with respect to Shares may affect the market price and volatility of Shares, as well as the Settlement Prices, each in a manner that may be adverse to Issuer.

 

  (v) Early Unwind . In the event the sale of the “Underwritten Securities” (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) is not consummated with the Initial Purchasers for any reason by 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Premium Payment Date, or such later date as agreed upon by the parties (the Premium Payment Date or such later date the “ Early Unwind Date ”), the Transaction shall automatically terminate (the “ Early Unwind ”), on the Early Unwind Date and (i) the Transaction and all of the respective rights and obligations of Dealer and Company under the Transaction shall be cancelled and terminated and (ii) each party shall be released and discharged by the other party from and agrees not to make any claim against the other party with respect to any obligations or liabilities of the other party arising out of and to be performed in connection with the Transaction either prior to or after the Early Unwind Date. Each of Dealer and Company represents and acknowledges to the other that, subject to the proviso included in this Section 9(v), upon an Early Unwind, all obligations with respect to the Transaction shall be deemed fully and finally discharged.

 

  (w) Payment by Dealer . In the event that (i) an Early Termination Date occurs or is designated with respect to the Transaction as a result of a Termination Event or an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default arising under Section 5(a)(ii) or 5(a)(iv) of the Agreement) and, as a result, Dealer owes to Company an amount calculated under Section 6(e) of the Agreement, or (ii) Dealer owes to Company, pursuant to Section 12.7 or Section 12.9 of the Equity Definitions, an amount calculated under Section 12.8 of the Equity Definitions, such amount shall be deemed to be zero.

 

  (x) Designation of Dealer . Notwithstanding any other provision in this Confirmation to the contrary requiring or allowing Dealer to purchase, sell, receive or deliver any Shares or other securities to or from Company or Issuer, as applicable, Dealer may designate any of its affiliates to purchase, sell, receive or deliver such Shares or other securities and otherwise to perform Dealer obligations in respect of the Transaction and any such designee may assume such obligations. Dealer shall be discharged of its obligations to Company to the extent of any such performance.

 

  (y)

Non-US Merger Transactions . Issuer shall not enter into or consummate any Non-US Merger Transaction unless the successor Issuer immediately following such Non-US Merger Transaction either (x) repeats to Dealer immediately following such Non-US Merger Transaction the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 8(a), 8(b), 8(c) and 8(d) of this Confirmation (as if references therein to (i) “execute, deliver” were replaced with “assume”, (ii) “execution, delivery” and “execution and delivery” were replaced with “assumption” and (iii) “executed and delivered” were replaced with “assumed”) or (y) solely in the case of the Tornier Merger Transaction, executes and delivers to Dealer an amendment


  to this Confirmation substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto within the time period set forth under Section 9(h)(ii)(G) above. For the avoidance of doubt, clause (x) of this paragraph shall not apply to the Permitted Tornier Merger Transaction.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Confirmation if (a) at or prior to the Tornier Merger Transaction, (1) Issuer enters into or consummates any Non-US Merger Transaction pursuant to which Issuer following such Non-US Merger Transaction is not a U.S. Entity (or, solely in the case of the Tornier Merger Transaction that occurs prior to the Cut-Off Date, not a Dutch public limited company or an entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes organized and existing under the laws of the Netherlands), (2) Company ceases to be a corporation organized under the laws of the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia that is Issuer (except solely as a result of the Tornier Merger Transaction that occurs prior to the Cut-Off Date), or (3) Issuer enters into or consummates any Non-US Merger Transaction and does not comply with the requirements of the immediately previous paragraph of this Section 9(y), or (b) after the Tornier Merger Transaction, (1) Issuer enters into or consummates any Non-US Merger Transaction pursuant to which Issuer following such Non-US Merger Transaction is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than the Islands of Bermuda, the Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland, Luxembourg, the Republic of Ireland, Canada or the United Kingdom that also becomes Company hereunder, (2) Company ceases to be Issuer or (3) Issuer enters into or consummates any Non-US Merger Transaction and does not comply with the requirements of the immediately previous paragraph of this Section 9(y), then, in any such case of clauses (a) and (b), such transaction or event shall constitute an Additional Termination Event applicable to the Transaction and, with respect to such Additional Termination Event, (A) Company shall be deemed to be the sole Affected Party, (B) the Transaction shall be the sole Affected Transaction and (C) Dealer shall be the party entitled to designate an Early Termination Date pursuant to Section 6(b) of the Agreement.

If, at any time following the occurrence of any Non-US Merger Transaction (other than the Permitted Tornier Merger Transaction), Dealer determines in good faith that (x) such Non-US Merger Transaction has had an adverse effect on Dealer’s rights and obligations under the Transaction or (y) Dealer would incur an increased amount of tax, duty, expense or fee to (1) acquire, establish, re-establish, substitute, maintain, unwind or dispose of any transaction(s) or asset(s) it deems necessary to hedge the economic risk of entering into and performing its obligations with respect to the Transaction, or (2) realize, recover or remit the proceeds of any such transaction(s) or asset(s) (each of the events described in clause (x) and clause (y) above, a “ Non-US Merger Event ”), then, in either case, Dealer shall give notice to Company of such Non-US Merger Event. Concurrently with delivering such notice, Dealer shall give notice to Company of a Price Adjustment that Dealer reasonably and in good faith determines appropriate to account for the economic effect on the Transaction of such Non-US Merger Event (unless Dealer determines that no Price Adjustment will produce a


commercially reasonably result, in which case Dealer shall so notify Company). Unless Dealer determines in good faith that no Price Adjustment will produce a commercially reasonably result, within one Scheduled Trading Day of receipt of such notice, Company shall notify Dealer that it elects to (A) agree to amend the Transaction to take into account such Price Adjustment or (B) pay Dealer an amount determined by Dealer that corresponds to such Price Adjustment (and, in each case, Company shall repeat the representation set forth in Section 8(g) of this Confirmation (which representation is confirmed to Dealer in writing by Issuer, if other than Company) as of the date of such election). If Company fails to give such notice to Dealer of its election in accordance with the foregoing by the end of that first Scheduled Trading Day, or if Dealer determines that no Price Adjustment will produce a commercially reasonably result, then such failure or such determination, as the case may be, shall constitute an Additional Termination Event applicable to the Transaction (it being understood that in the case of a Non-US Merger Event solely pursuant to clause (x) of the definition thereof, such determination shall constitute an Additional Termination Event only if the relevant adverse effect may have a material impact on Dealer’s rights and obligations under the Transaction, as determined by Dealer in good faith) and, with respect to such Additional Termination Event, (1) Company shall be deemed to be the sole Affected Party, (2) the Transaction shall be the sole Affected Transaction and (3) Dealer shall be the party entitled to designate an Early Termination Date pursuant to Section 6(b) of the Agreement.

For the avoidance of doubt, the parties hereto agree and acknowledge that (I) the occurrence of an Non-US Merger Event shall not preclude the occurrence of one or more additional, subsequent Non-US Merger Events and (II) if a Non-US Merger Event occurs, Dealer will determine, in its sole discretion, whether to exercise its rights under the provisions of this Section 9(y) and/or the rights and remedies of Dealer and its affiliates under any other provision of this Confirmation, the Equity Definitions and the Agreement.

 

  (z) Changes to Par Value . Company will promptly notify Dealer of any change to the par value of the ordinary shares of Tornier.

 

  (aa) Non-Occurrence of Tornier Merger Transaction . If as of the Cut-Off Date both (i) the Tornier Merger Transaction has not occurred and (ii) equity securities issued by a Dutch public limited company or an entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes organized and existing under the laws of the Netherlands have not otherwise become included in the “Shares” hereunder, then Dealer will, within 3 Currency Business Days of the Cut-Off Date, pay to Company an amount in EUR equal to EUR 110,203.00.

Dealer shall be obliged to make the Par Value Payment to the extent set forth in Section 1(b) of an amendment to this Confirmation substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto (it being understood that Dealer will not be obliged to make such Par Value Payment to the extent Dealer makes the payment required pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph).


  (bb) Certain Restricted Transactions . During the period commencing on, and including, the Trade Date and ending when Wright Medical Group N.V. executes and delivers to Dealer an amendment to this Confirmation substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A hereto, Company shall not, without Dealer’s prior written consent, sell, convey, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of a material amount of its, or its subsidiaries’, properties or assets to Tornier or its affiliates provided, however , that nothing in this subsection (bb) shall require the consent of the Dealer to consummate the Permitted Tornier Merger Transaction. For purposes of the preceding sentence, a material amount of the Company’s, or its subsidiaries’, properties or assets shall be deemed to be 15% or more on an aggregated basis of the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ properties and assets.

 

  (cc) Notice of Certain Events . Promptly following the public announcement by Issuer of any Potential Adjustment Event, Company shall notify Dealer of such public announcement; provided , however , that Company’s failure to notify Dealer of such public announcement shall not constitute an Event of Default or Termination Event to the extent Company pays to Dealer an amount in EUR equal to the Relevant Excess Amount, if any, corresponding to such Potential Adjustment Event.

Subject: Amendment to the Base Warrant Confirmation dated February 9, 2015

The purpose of this Amendment to the Confirmation (this “ Amendment ”) is to amend certain terms and conditions of the Transaction (as defined below). Reference is made to the letter agreement dated as of February 9, 2015 (the “ Confirmation ”) that confirms the terms and conditions of the Warrants issued by the Company to the Dealer as of the Trade Date, as amended hereby (the “ Transaction ”). Capitalized terms used herein but not defined herein shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Confirmation; provided that if such meaning is amended thereby, such amended meaning shall apply.

 

1


On [            ], 2015 at [    ] [a.m.] / [p.m.], Company and [Wright Medical Group N.V.] 1 (which was previously known as Tornier N.V., the “ Parent ”) completed the Tornier Merger Transaction.

In consideration of the premises and the agreements, provisions and covenants contained in this Amendment, Company, Dealer and Parent hereby agree as follows:

 

1. Assignment and Assumption .

 

  (a) For an agreed consideration, the Company hereby assigns to the Parent, and the Parent hereby irrevocably assumes from the Company, as of the date hereof, all the obligations of Company under the Confirmation and all the obligations of the “Issuer” (with the meaning of such term amended in accordance with Section 2(a) below) under the Confirmation, provided that the representations and warranties of the Company in Section 8 of the Confirmation shall be replaced by the representations and warranties of the Parent in Section 3 of this Amendment. From and after the date hereof, Parent shall assume and succeed to the obligation of the Company to make due and punctual payment and delivery of all payment and delivery obligations under the Confirmation and the performance and observation of every covenant or other obligation on the part of the Company and/or the Issuer to be performed or observed by it.

 

  (b) On or prior to the Currency Business Day immediately following the date hereof, the Dealer shall transfer to the Parent a cash amount in Euros (the “ Par Value Payment ”) equal to the product of (i) a number of Shares equal to the Number of Warrants multiplied by the Warrant Entitlement, subject to any adjustments made to such numbers by the Calculation Agent on or prior to the date of such payment, and (ii) the par value per Share as of such date. Such Par Value Payment shall constitute an advance payment for purposes of paying up the Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants. Upon receipt, Parent shall reserve the Par Value Payment and apply the Par Value Payment against the obligation to pay-up the Shares upon exercise of the Warrants. To the extent that the Par Value Payment exceeds the aggregate nominal value of the Shares issued upon exercise of the Warrants, then such excess shall be regarded as share premium.

 

2. Adjustments to General Terms .

The definition of “Shares” in the Confirmation is replaced in its entirety with the following new definition:

“The ordinary shares, par value [0.03] 2 Euros per share, of [Wright Medical Group N.V.] (Exchange symbol “WMGI”). As a result, for the avoidance of doubt, references to “Issuer” and to “Company” throughout this Confirmation refer to [Wright Medical Group N.V.].”.

 

1   Global - To be conformed to the legal name of Tornier N.V. post the Tornier Merger Transaction.
2   Global – to be conformed to the par value of the Parent’s ordinary shares on the date of the Amendment.

  (b) Neither the execution and delivery of this Amendment nor the incurrence or performance of obligations of Parent hereunder will conflict with or result in a breach of the articles of association of Parent, or any applicable law or regulation, or any order, writ, injunction or decree of any court or governmental authority or agency, or any agreement or instrument to which Parent or any of its subsidiaries is a party or by which Parent or any of its subsidiaries is bound or to which Parent or any of its subsidiaries is subject, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation of any lien under, any such agreement or instrument.

 

  (c) No consent, approval, authorization, or order of, or filing with, any governmental agency or body or any court is required in connection with the execution, delivery or performance by Parent of this Amendment, except such as have been obtained or made and such as may be required under the Securities Act or state securities laws or under the Dutch Act on Financial Supervision ( Wet op het Financieel Toezicht ).

  (f) Parent is an “eligible contract participant” (as such term is defined in Section 1a(18) of the Commodity Exchange Act, as amended, other than a person that is an eligible contract participant under Section 1a(18) (C) of the Commodity Exchange Act).

 

  (g) Parent and each of its affiliates are not, on the date hereof, in possession of any material non-public information with respect to Parent or the Shares.

 

  (h) No state or local (including any non-U.S. jurisdiction’s) law, rule, regulation or regulatory order applicable to the Shares would give rise to any reporting, consent, registration or other requirement (including without limitation a requirement to obtain prior approval from any person or entity), except for the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act and rules promulgated thereunder, or, at and after the Tornier Merger Transaction, the reporting or registration requirements of the Dutch Corporate Income Tax Act 1969 (Wet op de vennootschapsbelasting 1969), in each case, as a result of Dealer or its affiliates owning or holding (however defined) Shares.

Delivery of such opinion to Dealer shall be a condition precedent for the purpose of Section 2(a)(iii) of the Agreement with respect to each obligation of Dealer under Section 2(a)(i) of the Agreement.


  (b) Repurchase Notices . The first sentence of Section 9(b) of the Confirmation is replaced with the following sentence:

“Issuer shall, on any day on which Issuer effects any repurchase of Shares, promptly give Dealer a written notice of such repurchase (a “ Repurchase Notice ”) on such day if following such repurchase, the number of outstanding Shares on such day, subject to any adjustments provided herein, is (i) less than [        ] 3  million (in the case of the first such notice) or (ii) thereafter more than [        ] 4  million less than the number of Shares included in the immediately preceding Repurchase Notice.”.

 

  (c) Additional Termination Events . Section 9(h)(ii) of the Confirmation is hereby amended by inserting the following clause (J) at the end thereof:

(J) On any day during the period from and including the date hereof, to and including the final Expiration Date, (I) the Notional Unwind Shares (as defined below) as of such day exceeds a number of Shares equal to 90.0% of the Par Value Delivery Number, or (II) Company makes a public announcement of any transaction or event that, in the reasonable opinion of Dealer would, upon consummation of such transaction or upon the occurrence of such event, as applicable, and after giving effect to any applicable adjustments hereunder, cause the Notional Unwind Shares immediately following the consummation of such transaction or the occurrence of such event to exceed a number of Shares equal to 90.0% of the Par Value Delivery Number. The “ Notional Unwind Shares ” as of any day is a number of Shares equal to (1) the amount that would be payable pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement (determined as of such day as if an Early Termination Date had been designated in respect of the Transaction and as if the Company were the sole Affected Party and the Transaction were the sole Affected Transaction), divided by (2) the Settlement Price (determined as if such day were a Valuation Date). “ Par Value Delivery Number ” means a number of Shares equal to (i) the Par Value Payment divided by (ii) the par value per Share.

 

  (d) Alternative Calculations and Payment on Early Termination and on Certain Extraordinary Events . Section 9(j)(b) of the Confirmation is replaced in its entirety with the following new Section 9(j)(b):

“(b) Issuer represents to Dealer that each of Issuer and its affiliates is not, as of the date of such election, in possession of any material non-public information with respect to Issuer or the Shares and”.

 

3   Insert the number of Shares outstanding that would cause Dealer’s current position in the Warrants (including the number of Warrants if the greenshoe is exercised in full, and any warrants under pre-existing warrant transactions with Issuer) to increase by 0.5%.
4   Insert the number of Shares that, if repurchased, would cause Dealer’s current position in the Warrants (including the number of Warrants if the greenshoe is exercised in full, and any warrants under pre-existing warrant transactions with Issuer) to increase by a further 0.5% from the threshold for the first Repurchase Notice.


  (e) Status of Claims in Bankruptcy . Section 9(r) of the Confirmation is replaced in its entirety with the following new Section 9(r):

Status of Claims in Bankruptcy. Dealer acknowledges and agrees that this Confirmation is not intended to convey to Dealer rights against Issuer with respect to the Transaction that are senior to the claims of shareholders of Issuer in any bankruptcy proceedings of Issuer; provided that nothing herein shall limit or shall be deemed to limit Dealer’s right to pursue remedies in the event of a breach by Issuer of its obligations and agreements with respect to the Transaction other than during any such bankruptcy proceedings; provided further that nothing herein shall limit or shall be deemed to limit Dealer’s rights in respect of any transactions other than the Transaction.”.

 

  (f) Non-Occurrence of Tornier Merger Transaction . Sections 9(aa) and 9(bb) of the Confirmation are hereby deleted in their entirety and replaced with “[Reserved]”.

 

  (g) Maximum Share Delivery . Section 9(p)(ii) of the Confirmation is replaced in its entirety with the following new Section 9(p)(ii):

In the event Issuer shall not have issued to Dealer the full number of Shares or Restricted Shares otherwise to be issued by Issuer to Dealer pursuant to the terms of the Transaction because Issuer has insufficient authorized capital to issue the full number of Shares or Restricted Shares (such deficit, the “ Deficit Shares ”), Issuer shall be continually obligated to transfer, from time to time, Shares or Restricted Shares, as the case may be, to Dealer until the full number of Deficit Shares have been transferred pursuant to this Section 9(p)(ii), when, and to the extent that Shares are repurchased, acquired or otherwise received by Company or any of its subsidiaries after the Trade Date (whether or not in exchange for cash, fair value or any other consideration), provided that in no event shall Issuer transfer any Shares or Restricted Shares to Dealer pursuant to this Section 9(p)(ii) to the extent that such transfer would cause the aggregate number of Shares and Restricted Shares transferred to Dealer to exceed the Maximum Number of Shares. Issuer shall immediately notify Dealer of the occurrence of any of the foregoing events (including the number of Shares that are repurchased, acquired or otherwise received by Company or any of its subsidiaries after the Trade Date and the corresponding number of Shares or Restricted Shares, as the case may be, to be transferred) and promptly transfer such Shares or Restricted Shares, as the case may be, thereafter.

 

5.

Share Issue . Dealer acknowledges that to the extent (but solely to the extent) the issue of a Share hereunder would result in (i) the amount in EUR equal to the product of (x) the aggregate number of Shares issued to Dealer pursuant hereto and (y) the par value per Share to exceed (ii) the aggregate amount in EUR paid to Parent in connection with the Transaction (whether pursuant to the Par Value Payment or otherwise paid to Parent for purposes of paying up the aggregate par value of the Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, and whether on the date of issue or delivery of such Share or at such prior time as Dealer may elect), Parent will not be required to issue such Share unless and until Dealer pays such amounts to the Parent as a payment ( volstorting ) on such Share as


  required to eliminate such excess or otherwise takes such steps (if any) as required under Dutch law to give effect to such issue. If any issue and/or delivery owed to Dealer under the Transaction is not made, in whole or in part, as a result of this provision, Parent’s obligation to make such issue and/or delivery shall not be extinguished and Parent shall make such issue and delivery as promptly as practicable after, but in no event later than one Business Day after, Dealer (whether on or after the original date of issue and delivery of the relevant Share) pays such amounts to the Parent as a payment ( volstorting ) on such Share as required under this provision to give effect to such issue or otherwise takes such steps (if any) as required under Dutch law to give effect to such issue.

 

6. Scope of the Amendment . This Amendment amends solely the terms and provisions of the Transaction and the Confirmation set forth herein and nothing in this Amendment is intended or shall be construed as amending or waiving any other terms or provisions of the Transaction, the Confirmation or any other rights of the Company or Dealer under the Transaction or the Confirmation. Company, Parent and Dealer acknowledge that each of the Transaction and the Confirmation (each as amended by this Amendment) are in full force and effect and is hereby confirmed and ratified in all respects. References in the Confirmation to the Transaction or the Confirmation shall mean the Transaction or the Confirmation as amended by this Amendment.

 

7. Governing Law . This Amendment will be governed by and construed in accordance with laws of the State of New York (without reference to choice of law doctrine).

 

8. Waiver of Jury Trial . Each party waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any right it may have to a trial by jury in respect of any suit, action or proceeding relating to the Transaction, as amended by this Amendment. Each party (i) certifies that no representative, agent or attorney of any party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other party would not, in the event of such a suit, action or proceeding, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver and (ii) acknowledges that it and the other parties have been induced to enter into the Transaction, as amended by this Amendment, as applicable, by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications provided herein.

 

9. Counterparts . This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument.

   For any Settlement Date, an amount equal to the product of (i) the number of Warrants exercised or deemed exercised on the relevant Exercise Date, (ii) the Strike Price Differential for the relevant Valuation Date and (iii) the Warrant Entitlement.

Settlement Price:

   For any Valuation Date, the per Share volume-weighted average price as displayed under the heading “Bloomberg VWAP” on Bloomberg page WMGI <equity> AQR (or any successor thereto) in respect of the period from the scheduled opening time of the Exchange to the Scheduled Closing Time on such Valuation Date (or if such volume-weighted average price is unavailable, the market value of one Share on such Valuation Date, as determined by the Calculation Agent). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (i) any Expiration Date is a Disrupted Day and (ii) the Calculation Agent determines that such Expiration Date shall be an Expiration Date for fewer than the Daily Number of Warrants, as described above, then the Settlement Price for the relevant Valuation Date shall be the volume-weighted average price per Share on such Valuation Date on the Exchange, as determined by the Calculation Agent based on such sources as it deems appropriate using a volume-weighted methodology, for the portion of such Valuation Date for which the Calculation Agent determines there is no Market Disruption Event.


Settlement Dates:

   As determined pursuant to Section 9.4 of the Equity Definitions, subject to Section 9(k)(i) hereof.

Other Applicable Provisions:

   The provisions of Sections 9.1(c), 9.8, 9.9, 9.11 (except that, with respect to any Private Placement Settlement, the Representation and Agreement contained in Section 9.11 of the Equity Definitions shall be modified by excluding any representations therein relating to restrictions, obligations, limitations or requirements under applicable securities laws arising as a result of the fact that Seller is the Issuer of the Shares) and 9.12 of the Equity Definitions will be applicable, except that all references in such provisions to “Physically-settled” shall be read as references to “Net Share Settled.” “Net Share Settled” in relation to any Warrant means that Net Share Settlement is applicable to that Warrant.

Representation and Agreement:

   Notwithstanding Section 9.11 of the Equity Definitions, the parties acknowledge that any Shares delivered to Dealer may be, upon delivery, subject to restrictions and limitations arising from Issuer’s status as issuer of the Shares under applicable securities laws.

3. Additional Terms applicable to the Transaction .

Adjustments applicable to the Transaction:

   economic effect, which adjustment shall be effective immediately prior to the exercise, termination or cancellation of such Warrant, as the case may be.

  (b)

Neither the execution and delivery of this Confirmation nor the incurrence or performance of obligations of Company hereunder will conflict with or result in a breach of the certificate of incorporation or by-laws (or any equivalent documents) of Company, or any applicable law or regulation, or any order, writ, injunction or decree of any court or governmental authority or agency, or any


  agreement or instrument to which Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party or by which Company or any of its subsidiaries is bound or to which Company or any of its subsidiaries is subject, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation of any lien under, any such agreement or instrument.

 

  (c) No consent, approval, authorization, or order of, or filing with, any governmental agency or body or any court is required in connection with the execution, delivery or performance by Company of this Confirmation, except such as have been obtained or made and such as may be required under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ Securities Act ”) or state securities laws.

 

  (d) A number of Shares equal to the Maximum Number of Shares (as defined below) (the “ Warrant Shares ”) have been reserved for issuance by all required corporate action of Issuer. The Warrant Shares have been duly authorized and, when delivered against payment therefor (which may include Net Share Settlement in lieu of cash) and otherwise as contemplated by the terms of the Warrants following the exercise of the Warrants in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Warrants, will be validly issued, fully-paid and non-assessable, and the issuance of the Warrant Shares will not be subject to any preemptive or similar rights and the Warrant Shares shall upon issuance (subject to notice of issuance) be accepted for listing or quotation on the Exchange.

 

  (e) Company is not and, after consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, will not be required to register as an “investment company” as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

  (a) Opinions . In connection with the entry into or consummation of any Non-US Merger Transaction (as defined below) (other than the Permitted Tornier Merger Transaction), Issuer shall deliver to Dealer an opinion of counsel (subject to customary qualifications, assumptions and exceptions), dated as of the date of such Non-US Merger Transaction, with respect to the matters set forth in Sections 8(a), 8(b), 8(c) and 8(d) of this Confirmation (as if references therein to (i) “execute, deliver” were replaced with “assume”, (ii) “execution, delivery” and “execution and delivery” were replaced with “assumption” and (iii) “executed and delivered” were replaced with “assumed”). “ Non-US Merger Transaction ” means any Merger Event, reincorporation of Issuer, corporate inversion of Issuer or similar transaction pursuant to which (x) the consideration for the Shares includes (or, at the option of a holder of Shares, may include) shares of an entity or person that is not a corporation or is not organized under the laws of the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia or (y) the Issuer following such Merger Event, reincorporation of Issuer or corporate inversion of Issuer is organized in a jurisdiction other than the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia.

 

  (b)

Repurchase Notices . Issuer shall, on any day on which Issuer effects any repurchase of Shares, promptly give Dealer a written notice of such repurchase (a “ Repurchase Notice ”) on such day if following such repurchase, the number of outstanding Shares on such day, subject to any adjustments provided herein, is (i) less than 48,074,186 (in the case of the first such notice) or (ii) thereafter more than 2,663,694 less than the number of Shares included in the immediately preceding Repurchase Notice. Issuer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Dealer and its affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, affiliates, advisors, agents and controlling persons (each, an “ Indemnified Person ”) from and against any and all losses (including losses relating to Dealer’s hedging activities as a consequence of becoming, or of the risk of becoming, a Section 16 “insider”, including without limitation, any forbearance from hedging activities or cessation of hedging activities and any losses in connection therewith with respect to the Transaction), claims, damages, judgments, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees), joint or several, which an Indemnified Person actually may become subject to, as a result of Issuer’s failure to provide Dealer with a Repurchase Notice on the day and in the manner specified in this paragraph, and to reimburse, within 30 days, upon written request, each of such Indemnified Persons for any reasonable legal or other expenses incurred in connection with investigating, preparing for, providing testimony or other evidence in connection with or defending any of the foregoing. If any suit, action, proceeding (including any governmental or regulatory investigation), claim or demand shall be brought or asserted against the


  Indemnified Person, such Indemnified Person shall promptly notify Issuer in writing, and Issuer, upon request of the Indemnified Person, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person to represent the Indemnified Person and any others Issuer may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel related to such proceeding. Issuer shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, Issuer agrees to indemnify any Indemnified Person from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Issuer shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Person, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Person is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding on terms reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person. If the indemnification provided for in this paragraph is unavailable to an Indemnified Person or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then Issuer under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Person thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Person as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities. The remedies provided for in this paragraph are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any Indemnified Person at law or in equity. The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this paragraph shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the termination of the Transaction.

 

  (c) Regulation M . Issuer is not on the Trade Date engaged in a distribution, as such term is used in Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “ Exchange Act ”), of any securities of Issuer, other than a distribution meeting the requirements of the exception set forth in Rules 101(b)(10) and 102(b)(7) of Regulation M. Issuer shall not, until the second Scheduled Trading Day immediately following the Effective Date, engage in any such distribution.

 

  (d) No Manipulation . Issuer is not entering into the Transaction to create actual or apparent trading activity in the Shares (or any security convertible into or exchangeable for the Shares) or to raise or depress or otherwise manipulate the price of the Shares (or any security convertible into or exchangeable for the Shares) or otherwise in violation of the Exchange Act.

 

  (e)

Transfer or Assignment . Company may not transfer any of its rights or obligations under the Transaction without the prior written consent of Dealer; provided, however , without limitation of any other provision hereof, that the consummation of the Permitted Tornier Merger Transaction shall not be deemed to be a transfer or assignment of the Company’s rights and obligations under the Transaction. Dealer may, without Company’s or Issuer’s (if other than Company) consent, transfer or assign all or any part of its rights or obligations under the


  Transaction to any third party; provided , however , that the transferee or assignee shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment of additional amounts under Section 2(d)(i)(4) of the Agreement than Dealer would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Tax Law that occurs after the date of the transfer or assignment. If at any time at which (A) the Section 16 Percentage exceeds 7.5%, (B) the Warrant Equity Percentage exceeds 14.5%, or (C) the Share Amount exceeds the Applicable Share Limit (if any applies) (any such condition described in clauses (A), (B) or (C), an “ Excess Ownership Position ”), Dealer is unable after using its commercially reasonable efforts to effect a transfer or assignment of Warrants to a third party on pricing terms reasonably acceptable to Dealer and within a time period reasonably acceptable to Dealer such that no Excess Ownership Position exists, then Dealer may designate any Exchange Business Day as an Early Termination Date with respect to a portion of the Transaction (the “ Terminated Portion ”), such that following such partial termination no Excess Ownership Position exists. In the event that Dealer so designates an Early Termination Date with respect to a Terminated Portion, a payment shall be made pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement as if (1) an Early Termination Date had been designated in respect of a Transaction having terms identical to the Transaction and a Number of Warrants equal to the number of Warrants underlying the Terminated Portion, (2) Company were the sole Affected Party with respect to such partial termination and (3) the Terminated Portion were the sole Affected Transaction (and, for the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of Section 9(j) shall apply to any amount that is payable by Company to Dealer pursuant to this sentence as if Company was not the Affected Party). The “ Section 16 Percentage ” as of any day is the fraction, expressed as a percentage, (A) the numerator of which is the number of Shares that Dealer and each person subject to aggregation of Shares with Dealer under Section 13 or Section 16 of the Exchange Act and rules promulgated thereunder directly or indirectly beneficially own (as defined under Section 13 or Section 16 of the Exchange Act and rules promulgated thereunder) and (B) the denominator of which is the number of Shares outstanding. The “ Warrant Equity Percentage ” as of any day is the fraction, expressed as a percentage, (A) the numerator of which is the sum of (1) the product of the Number of Warrants and the Warrant Entitlement and (2) the aggregate number of Shares underlying any other warrants purchased by Dealer from Company or Issuer, as applicable, and (B) the denominator of which is the number of Shares outstanding. The “ Share Amount ” as of any day is the number of Shares that Dealer and any person whose ownership position would be aggregated with that of Dealer (Dealer or any such person, a “ Dealer Person ”) under any law, rule, regulation, regulatory order or organizational documents or contracts of Issuer that are, in each case, applicable to ownership of Shares (“ Applicable Restrictions ”), owns, beneficially owns, constructively owns, controls, holds the power to vote or otherwise meets a relevant definition of ownership under any Applicable Restriction, as determined by Dealer in its reasonable discretion. The “ Applicable Share Limit ” means a number of Shares equal to (A) the minimum number of Shares that could give rise to reporting or


  registration obligations or other requirements (including obtaining prior approval from any person or entity) of a Dealer Person, or could result in an adverse effect on a Dealer Person, under any Applicable Restriction, as determined by Dealer in its reasonable discretion, minus (B) 1% of the number of Shares outstanding. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Confirmation to the contrary requiring or allowing Dealer to purchase, sell, receive or deliver any Shares or other securities, or make or receive any payment in cash, to or from Company or Issuer, as applicable, Dealer may designate any of its affiliates to purchase, sell, receive or deliver such Shares or other securities, or make or receive such payment in cash, and otherwise to perform Dealer’s obligations in respect of the Transaction and any such designee may assume such obligations. Dealer shall be discharged of its obligations to Company or Issuer (if other than Company) to the extent of any such performance.

 

  (f) Dividends . If at any time during the period from and including the Effective Date, to and including the last Expiration Date, an ex-dividend date for a cash dividend occurs with respect to the Shares (an “ Ex-Dividend Date ”), then the Calculation Agent will adjust any of the Strike Price, Number of Warrants, Daily Number of Warrants and/or any other variable relevant to the exercise, settlement or payment of the Transaction to preserve the fair value of the Warrants to Dealer after taking into account such dividend.

  (ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Confirmation, upon the occurrence of one of the following events, with respect to the Transaction, (1) Dealer shall have the right to designate such event an Additional Termination Event and designate an Early Termination Date pursuant to Section 6(b) of the Agreement, (2) Company shall be deemed the sole Affected Party with respect to such Additional Termination Event and (3) the Transaction, or, at the election of Dealer in its reasonable discretion, any portion of the Transaction, shall be deemed the sole Affected Transaction; provided that if Dealer so designates an Early Termination Date with respect to a portion of the Transaction, (a) a payment shall be made pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement as if an Early Termination Date had been designated in respect of a Transaction having terms identical to the Transaction and a Number of Warrants equal to the number of Warrants included in the terminated portion of the Transaction, and (b) for the avoidance of doubt, the Transaction shall remain in full force and effect except that the Number of Warrants shall be reduced by the number of Warrants included in such terminated portion:

 

  (A) A “person” or “group” within the meaning of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, other than Issuer or its subsidiaries files a Schedule TO or any schedule, form or report under the Exchange Act disclosing that such person or group has become the direct or indirect “beneficial owner,” as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act, of the common equity of Issuer representing more than 50% of the voting power of such common equity. The Permitted Tornier Merger Transaction will not constitute an Additional Termination Event pursuant to this clause (A).


  (B) Consummation of (I) any recapitalization, reclassification or change of the Shares (other than changes resulting from a subdivision or combination), including resulting from the Tornier Merger Transaction (except if it constitutes the Permitted Tornier Merger Transaction), as a result of which the Shares would be converted into, or exchanged for, stock, other securities, other property or assets; (II) any share exchange, consolidation or merger of Issuer pursuant to which the Shares will be converted into cash, securities or other property; or (III) any sale, lease or other transfer in one transaction or a series of transactions of all or substantially all of the consolidated assets of Issuer and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to any person other than one of Issuer’s subsidiaries; provided , however , that a transaction or transactions described in this clause (B) shall not constitute an Additional Termination Event pursuant to this clause (B), if at least 90% of the consideration received or to be received by holders of the Shares, excluding cash payments for fractional Shares and cash payments made pursuant to dissenters’ appraisal rights, in connection with such transaction or transactions consists of shares of common stock (1) a U.S. Entity or (2) a corporation or entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes organized and existing under the laws of the Islands of Bermuda, the Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland, Luxembourg, the Republic of Ireland, Canada or the United Kingdom, in each case, that are listed or quoted on any of The New York Stock Exchange, The NASDAQ Global Select Market or The NASDAQ Global Market (or any of their respective successors) or will be so listed or quoted when issued or exchanged in connection with such transaction or transactions, and as a result of such transaction or transactions, the reference property for the Shares becomes such consideration, excluding cash payments for fractional Shares. For purposes of the exception described in the immediately preceding proviso, any transaction or event described under both clause (A) above and this clause (B) will be evaluated solely under this clause (B). The Permitted Tornier Merger Transaction will not constitute an Additional Termination Event pursuant to this clause (B).

 

  (C)

Default by the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries with respect to any mortgage, agreement or other instrument under which there may be outstanding, or by which there may be secured or evidenced, any indebtedness for money borrowed in excess of $25 million in the aggregate of the Issuer and/or any such subsidiary, whether such indebtedness now exists or shall hereafter be created (i) resulting in such indebtedness becoming or being accelerated and declared due


  and payable prior to its stated maturity date or (ii) constituting a failure to pay the principal or interest of any such debt when due and payable (after the expiration of any applicable grace period) at its stated maturity, upon required repurchase, upon declaration of acceleration or otherwise; provided, however, the acceleration of any indebtedness of Parent as a result of the Permitted Tornier Merger Transaction shall not constitute an Additional Termination Event pursuant to this clause (C) if such accelerated indebtedness is repaid in full within 50 calendar days.

 

  (D) Certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency, or reorganization of the Issuer or any of its significant subsidiaries as defined in Article 1, Rule 1-02 of Regulation S-X.

The “ Cut-Off Date ” shall mean 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on September 30, 2015, which date may be extended by the Company in its sole discretion by written notice to Dealer (which notice contains a representation and warranty from Company that Company and each of its affiliates are not, on the date thereof, in possession of any material non-public information with respect to Company or the Shares) to a date not beyond December 31, 2015.

 

  (F) At or after the Effective Time of the Tornier Merger Transaction, the Company ceases to be, (1) a U.S. Entity, or (2) a corporation or entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes organized and existing under the laws of the Islands of Bermuda, the Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland, Luxembourg, the Republic of Ireland, Canada or the United Kingdom.

 

  (G)

Within 90 calendar days of the Effective Time of the Tornier Merger Transaction, each of the Company and Wright Medical Group N.V. has not executed and delivered to Dealer an amendment to this Confirmation substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A hereto and/or has not delivered to Dealer the legal opinions required thereunder. For the avoidance of doubt, none of a Hedging Disruption, Increased Cost of Hedging, Loss of Stock Borrow and/or Increased Cost of Stock Borrow shall occur solely


  as a result of Dealer not receiving such executed amendment and legal opinions as of any day prior to the end of such 90 calendar day period.

 

  (H) Dealer, despite using commercially reasonable efforts, is unable or reasonably determines that it is impractical or illegal, to hedge its exposure with respect to the Transaction in the public market without registration under the Securities Act or as a result of any legal, regulatory or self-regulatory requirements or related policies and procedures (whether or not such requirements, policies or procedures are imposed by law or have been voluntarily adopted by Dealer).

 

  (i) No Collateral or Setoff . Notwithstanding any provision of the Agreement or any other agreement between the parties to the contrary, the obligations of Company hereunder are not secured by any collateral. Obligations under the Transaction shall not be set off by either party against any other obligations of the parties, whether arising under the Agreement, this Confirmation, under any other agreement between the parties hereto, by operation of law or otherwise. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event of bankruptcy or liquidation of either Company or Dealer, neither party shall have the right to set off any obligation that it may have to the other party under the Transaction against any obligation such other party may have to it, whether arising under the Agreement, this Confirmation or any other agreement between the parties hereto, by operation of law or otherwise.

 

  (j) Alternative Calculations and Payment on Early Termination and on Certain Extraordinary Events .

 

  (i) If, in respect of the Transaction, an amount is payable by Company to Dealer, (A) pursuant to Section 12.7 or Section 12.9 of the Equity Definitions or (B) pursuant to Section 6(d)(ii) of the Agreement (any such amount, a “ Payment Obligation ”), Company shall satisfy the Payment Obligation by the Share Termination Alternative (as defined below), unless (a) Company gives irrevocable telephonic notice to Dealer, confirmed in writing within one Scheduled Trading Day, no later than 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Merger Date, Tender Offer Date, Announcement Date (in the case of a Nationalization, Insolvency or Delisting), Early Termination Date or date of cancellation, as applicable, of its election that the Share Termination Alternative shall not apply, (b) Company remakes the representation set forth in Section 8(g) as of the date of such election and (c) Dealer agrees, in its sole discretion, to such election, in which case the provisions of Section 12.7 or Section 12.9 of the Equity Definitions, or the provisions of Section 6(d)(ii) of the Agreement, as the case may be, shall apply.


Share Termination Alternative:
If applicable, Company shall deliver to Dealer the Share Termination Delivery Property on the date (the “ Share Termination Payment Date ”) on which the Payment Obligation would otherwise be due pursuant to Section 12.7 or Section 12.9 of the Equity Definitions or Section 6(d)(ii) of the Agreement, as applicable, subject to Section 9(k)(i) below, in satisfaction, subject to Section 9(k)(ii) below, of the relevant Payment Obligation, in the manner reasonably requested by Dealer free of payment.
Share Termination Delivery Property:
A number of Share Termination Delivery Units, as calculated by the Calculation Agent, equal to the relevant Payment Obligation divided by the Share Termination Unit Price. The Calculation Agent shall adjust the amount of Share Termination Delivery Property by replacing any fractional portion of a security therein with an amount of cash equal to the value of such fractional security based on the values used to calculate the Share Termination Unit Price (without giving effect to any discount pursuant to Section 9(k)(i)).
Share Termination Unit Price:
The value to Dealer of property contained in one Share Termination Delivery Unit on the date such Share Termination Delivery Units are to be delivered as Share Termination Delivery Property, as determined by the Calculation Agent in its discretion by commercially reasonable means. In the case of a Private Placement of Share Termination Delivery Units that are Restricted Shares (as defined below), as set forth in Section 9(k)(i) below, the Share Termination Unit Price shall be determined by the discounted price applicable to such Share Termination Delivery Units. In the case of a Registration Settlement of Share Termination Delivery Units that are


Restricted Shares (as defined below) as set forth in Section 9(k)(ii) below, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Share Termination Unit Price shall be the Settlement Price on the Merger Date, Tender Offer Date, Announcement Date (in the case of a Nationalization, Insolvency or Delisting), Early Termination Date or date of cancellation, as applicable. The Calculation Agent shall notify Company of the Share Termination Unit Price at the time of notification of such Payment Obligation to Company or, if applicable, at the time the discounted price applicable to the relevant Share Termination Units is determined pursuant to Section 9(k)(i).
Share Termination Delivery Unit:
One Share or, if the Shares have changed into cash or any other property or the right to receive cash or any other property as the result of a Nationalization, Insolvency or Merger Event (any such cash or other property, the “ Exchange Property ”), a unit consisting of the type and amount of Exchange Property received by a holder of one Share (without consideration of any requirement to pay cash or other consideration in lieu of fractional amounts of any securities) in such Nationalization, Insolvency or Merger Event. If such Nationalization, Insolvency or Merger Event involves a choice of Exchange Property to be received by holders, such holder shall be deemed to have elected to receive the maximum possible amount of cash.
Failure to Deliver: Inapplicable
Other applicable provisions: If Share Termination Alternative is applicable, the provisions of Sections 9.8, 9.9, 9.11 and 9.12 (as modified above) of the Equity Definitions will be applicable, except that all references in such provisions to “Physically-settled” shall be read as references to “Share Termination Settled”


   and all references to “Shares” shall be read as references to “Share Termination Delivery Units”. “Share Termination Settled” in relation to the Transaction means that the Share Termination Alternative is applicable to the Transaction.

 

  (k) Registration/Private Placement Procedures . If, in the reasonable opinion of Dealer, following any delivery of Shares or Share Termination Delivery Property to Dealer hereunder, such Shares or Share Termination Delivery Property would be in the hands of Dealer subject to any applicable restrictions with respect to any registration or qualification requirement or prospectus delivery requirement for such Shares or Share Termination Delivery Property pursuant to any applicable federal or state securities law (including, without limitation, any such requirement arising under Section 5 of the Securities Act as a result of such Shares or Share Termination Delivery Property being “restricted securities”, as such term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act, or as a result of the sale of such Shares or Share Termination Delivery Property being subject to paragraph (c) of Rule 145 under the Securities Act) (such Shares or Share Termination Delivery Property, “ Restricted Shares ”), then delivery of such Restricted Shares shall be effected pursuant to either clause (i) or (ii) below at the election of Issuer, unless Dealer waives the need for registration/private placement procedures set forth in (i) and (ii) below. Notwithstanding the foregoing, solely in respect of any Daily Number of Warrants exercised or deemed exercised on any Expiration Date, Issuer shall elect, prior to the first Settlement Date for the first applicable Expiration Date, a Private Placement Settlement or Registration Settlement for all deliveries of Restricted Shares for all such Expiration Dates which election shall be applicable to all remaining Settlement Dates for such Warrants and the procedures in clause (i) or clause (ii) below shall apply for all such delivered Restricted Shares on an aggregate basis commencing after the final Settlement Date for such Warrants. The Calculation Agent shall make reasonable adjustments to settlement terms and provisions under this Confirmation to reflect a single Private Placement or Registration Settlement for such aggregate Restricted Shares delivered hereunder.

 

  (i)

If Issuer elects to settle the Transaction pursuant to this clause (i) (a “ Private Placement Settlement ”), then delivery of Restricted Shares by Issuer shall be effected in customary private placement procedures with respect to such Restricted Shares reasonably acceptable to Dealer; provided that Issuer may not elect a Private Placement Settlement if, on the date of its election, it has taken, or caused to be taken, any action that would make unavailable either the exemption pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act for the sale by Issuer to Dealer (or any affiliate designated by Dealer) of the Restricted Shares or the exemption pursuant to Section 4(a)(1) or Section 4(a)(3) of the Securities Act for resales of the Restricted Shares by Dealer (or any such affiliate of Dealer). The Private Placement Settlement of such Restricted Shares shall include customary


  representations, covenants, blue sky and other governmental filings and/or registrations, indemnities to Dealer, due diligence rights (for Dealer or any designated buyer of the Restricted Shares by Dealer), opinions and certificates, and such other documentation as is customary for private placement agreements, all reasonably acceptable to Dealer. In the case of a Private Placement Settlement, Dealer shall determine the appropriate discount to the Share Termination Unit Price (in the case of settlement of Share Termination Delivery Units pursuant to Section 9(j) above) or any Settlement Price (in the case of settlement of Shares pursuant to Section 2 above) applicable to such Restricted Shares in a commercially reasonable manner and appropriately adjust the number of such Restricted Shares to be delivered to Dealer hereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement or this Confirmation, the date of delivery of such Restricted Shares shall be the Exchange Business Day following notice by Dealer to Issuer, of such applicable discount and the number of Restricted Shares to be delivered pursuant to this clause (i). For the avoidance of doubt, delivery of Restricted Shares shall be due as set forth in the previous sentence and not be due on the Share Termination Payment Date (in the case of settlement of Share Termination Delivery Units pursuant to Section 9(j) above) or on the Settlement Date for such Restricted Shares (in the case of settlement in Shares pursuant to Section 2 above).

 

  (ii)

If Issuer elects to settle the Transaction pursuant to this clause (ii) (a “ Registration Settlement ”), then Issuer shall promptly (but in any event no later than the beginning of the Resale Period) file and use its reasonable best efforts to make effective under the Securities Act a registration statement or supplement or amend an outstanding registration statement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Dealer, to cover the resale of such Restricted Shares in accordance with customary resale registration procedures, including covenants, conditions, representations, underwriting discounts (if applicable), commissions (if applicable), indemnities due diligence rights, opinions and certificates, and such other documentation as is customary for equity resale underwriting agreements, all reasonably acceptable to Dealer. If Dealer, in its reasonable discretion, is not satisfied with such procedures and documentation Private Placement Settlement shall apply. If Dealer is satisfied with such procedures and documentation, it shall sell the Restricted Shares pursuant to such registration statement during a period (the “ Resale Period ”) commencing on the Exchange Business Day following delivery of such Restricted Shares (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be (x) the Share Termination Payment Date in case of settlement in Share Termination Delivery Units pursuant to Section 9(j) above or (y) the Settlement Date in respect of the final Expiration Date for all Daily Number of Warrants) and ending on the earliest of (i) the Exchange Business Day on which Dealer completes the sale of all Restricted Shares or, in the case of settlement of Share Termination Delivery Units, a sufficient number of Restricted


  Shares so that the realized net proceeds of such sales equals or exceeds the Payment Obligation (as defined above), (ii) the date upon which all Restricted Shares have been sold or transferred pursuant to Rule 144 (or similar provisions then in force) or Rule 145(d)(2) (or any similar provision then in force) under the Securities Act and (iii) the date upon which all Restricted Shares may be sold or transferred by a non-affiliate pursuant to Rule 144 (or any similar provision then in force) or Rule 145(d)(2) (or any similar provision then in force) under the Securities Act. If the Payment Obligation exceeds the realized net proceeds from such resale, Issuer shall transfer to Dealer by the open of the regular trading session on the Exchange on the Exchange Trading Day immediately following such resale the amount of such excess (the “ Additional Amount ”) in cash or in a number of Shares (“ Make-whole Shares ”) in an amount that, based on the Settlement Price on such day (as if such day was the “Valuation Date” for purposes of computing such Settlement Price), has a dollar value equal to the Additional Amount. The Resale Period shall continue to enable the sale of the Make-whole Shares. If Issuer elects to pay the Additional Amount in Shares, the requirements and provisions for Registration Settlement shall apply. This provision shall be applied successively until the Additional Amount is equal to zero. In no event shall Issuer deliver a number of Restricted Shares greater than the Maximum Number of Shares.

 

  (iii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Issuer agrees that (A) any Restricted Shares delivered to Dealer may be transferred by and among Dealer and its affiliates and Issuer shall effect such transfer without any further action by Dealer and (B) after the period of 6 months from the Trade Date (or 1 year from the Trade Date if, at such time, informational requirements of Rule 144 (C) under the Securities Act are not satisfied with respect to Issuer) has elapsed in respect of any Restricted Shares delivered to Dealer, Issuer shall promptly remove, or cause the transfer agent for such Restricted Shares to remove, any legends referring to any such restrictions or requirements from such Restricted Shares upon request by Dealer (or such affiliate of Dealer) to Issuer or such transfer agent, without any requirement for the delivery of any certificate, consent, agreement, opinion of counsel, notice or any other document, any transfer tax stamps or payment of any other amount or any other action by Dealer (or such affiliate of Dealer). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, to the extent the provisions of Rule 144 of the Securities Act or any successor rule are amended, or the applicable interpretation thereof by the Securities and Exchange Commission or any court change after the Trade Date, the agreements of Issuer herein shall be deemed modified to the extent necessary, in the opinion of outside counsel of Issuer, to comply with Rule 144 of the Securities Act, as in effect at the time of delivery of the relevant Shares or Share Termination Delivery Property.


  (iv) If the Private Placement Settlement or the Registration Settlement shall not be effected as set forth in clauses (i) or (ii), as applicable, then failure to effect such Private Placement Settlement or such Registration Settlement shall constitute an Event of Default with respect to which Issuer shall be the Defaulting Party.

 

  (l) Limit on Beneficial Ownership . Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, Dealer may not exercise any Warrant hereunder or be entitled to take delivery of any Shares deliverable hereunder, and Automatic Exercise shall not apply with respect to any Warrant hereunder, to the extent (but only to the extent) that, after such receipt of any Shares upon the exercise of such Warrant or otherwise hereunder and after taking into account any Shares deliverable to Dealer under the letter agreement dated February 9, 2015 between Dealer and Company regarding Base Warrants (the “ Base Warrant Confirmation ”), (i) the Section 16 Percentage would exceed 7.5%, or (ii) the Share Amount would exceed the Applicable Share Limit. Any purported delivery hereunder shall be void and have no effect to the extent (but only to the extent) that, after such delivery and after taking into account any Shares deliverable to Dealer under the Base Warrant Confirmation, (i) the Section 16 Percentage would exceed 7.5%, or (ii) the Share Amount would exceed the Applicable Share Limit. If any delivery owed to Dealer hereunder is not made, in whole or in part, as a result of this provision, Company’s obligation to make such delivery shall not be extinguished and Company shall make such delivery as promptly as practicable after, but in no event later than one Business Day after, Dealer gives notice to Company that, after such delivery, (i) the Section 16 Percentage would not exceed 7.5%, and (ii) the Share Amount would not exceed the Applicable Share Limit.

 

  (m) Share Deliveries . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Issuer agrees that any delivery of Shares or Share Termination Delivery Property shall be effected by book-entry transfer through the facilities of DTC, or any successor depositary, if at the time of delivery, such class of Shares or class of Share Termination Delivery Property is in book-entry form at DTC or such successor depositary.

 

  (n) Waiver of Jury Trial . Each party waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any right it may have to a trial by jury in respect of any suit, action or proceeding relating to the Transaction. Each party (i) certifies that no representative, agent or attorney of the other party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other party would not, in the event of such a suit, action or proceeding, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver and (ii) acknowledges that it and the other party have been induced to enter into the Transaction, as applicable, by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications provided herein.

 

  (o) Tax Disclosure . Effective from the date of commencement of discussions concerning the Transaction, Company and each of its employees, representatives, or other agents may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of the Transaction and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to Company relating to such tax treatment and tax structure.


  (p) Maximum Share Delivery .

 

  (i) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Confirmation, the Agreement or the Equity Definitions, in no event will Company at any time be required to deliver a number of Shares greater than two times the Number of Warrants (the “ Maximum Number of Shares ”) to Dealer in connection with the Transaction, subject to the provisions regarding Deficit Shares in Section 9 (p)(ii).

 

  (ii) In the event Issuer shall not have delivered to Dealer the full number of Shares or Restricted Shares otherwise deliverable by Issuer to Dealer pursuant to the terms of the Transaction because Issuer has insufficient authorized but unissued Shares (such deficit, the “ Deficit Shares ”), Issuer shall be continually obligated to deliver, from time to time, Shares or Restricted Shares, as the case may be, to Dealer until the full number of Deficit Shares have been delivered pursuant to this Section 9(p)(ii), when, and to the extent that, (A) Shares are repurchased, acquired or otherwise received by Company or any of its subsidiaries after the Trade Date (whether or not in exchange for cash, fair value or any other consideration), (B) authorized and unissued Shares previously reserved for issuance in respect of other transactions become no longer so reserved or (C) Issuer additionally authorizes any unissued Shares that are not reserved for other transactions; provided that in no event shall Issuer deliver any Shares or Restricted Shares to Dealer pursuant to this Section 9(p)(ii) to the extent that such delivery would cause the aggregate number of Shares and Restricted Shares delivered to Dealer to exceed the Maximum Number of Shares. Issuer shall immediately notify Dealer of the occurrence of any of the foregoing events (including the number of Shares subject to clause (A), (B) or (C) and the corresponding number of Shares or Restricted Shares, as the case may be, to be delivered) and promptly deliver such Shares or Restricted Shares, as the case may be, thereafter.

 

  (q) Right to Extend . Dealer may postpone or add, in whole or in part, any Expiration Date or any other date of valuation or delivery with respect to some or all of the relevant Warrants (in which event the Calculation Agent shall make appropriate adjustments to the Daily Number of Warrants with respect to one or more Expiration Dates) if Dealer determines, in good faith and in its commercially reasonable judgment, that such extension is reasonably necessary or appropriate to preserve Dealer’s hedging or hedge unwind activity hereunder in light of existing liquidity conditions or to enable Dealer to effect transactions with respect to Shares in connection with its hedging, hedge unwind or settlement activity hereunder in a manner that would, if Dealer were Issuer or an affiliated purchaser of Issuer, be in compliance with applicable legal, regulatory or self-regulatory requirements, or with related policies and procedures applicable to Dealer.


  (r) Status of Claims in Bankruptcy . Dealer acknowledges and agrees that this Confirmation is not intended to convey to Dealer rights against Issuer with respect to the Transaction that are senior to the claims of common stock shareholders of Issuer in any Dutch or United States bankruptcy proceedings of Issuer; provided that nothing herein shall limit or shall be deemed to limit Dealer’s right to pursue remedies in the event of a breach by Issuer of its obligations and agreements with respect to the Transaction other than during any such bankruptcy proceedings; provided further that nothing herein shall limit or shall be deemed to limit Dealer’s rights in respect of any transactions other than the Transaction.

 

  (s) Securities Contract; Swap Agreement . The parties hereto intend for (i) the Transaction to be a “securities contract” and a “swap agreement” as defined in the Bankruptcy Code (Title 11 of the United States Code) (the “ Bankruptcy Code ”), and the parties hereto to be entitled to the protections afforded by, among other Sections, Sections 362(b)(6), 362(b)(17), 546(e), 546(g), 555 and 560 of the Bankruptcy Code, (ii) a party’s right to liquidate the Transaction and to exercise any other remedies upon the occurrence of any Event of Default under the Agreement with respect to the other party to constitute a “contractual right” as described in the Bankruptcy Code, and (iii) each payment and delivery of cash, securities or other property hereunder to constitute a “margin payment” or “settlement payment” and a “transfer” as defined in the Bankruptcy Code.

 

  (t) Wall Street Transparency and Accountability Act . In connection with Section 739 of the Wall Street Transparency and Accountability Act of 2010 (“ WSTAA ”), the parties hereby agree that neither the enactment of WSTAA or any regulation under the WSTAA, nor any requirement under WSTAA or an amendment made by WSTAA, shall limit or otherwise impair either party’s otherwise applicable rights to terminate, renegotiate, modify, amend or supplement this Confirmation or the Agreement, as applicable, arising from a termination event, force majeure, illegality, increased costs, regulatory change or similar event under this Confirmation, the Equity Definitions incorporated herein, or the Agreement (including, but not limited to, rights arising from Change in Law, Hedging Disruption, Increased Cost of Hedging, an Excess Ownership Position, or Illegality (as defined in the Agreement)).

Dealer shall be discharged of its obligations to Company to the extent of any such performance.

 

  (y)

Non-US Merger Transactions . Issuer shall not enter into or consummate any Non-US Merger Transaction unless the successor Issuer immediately following such Non-US Merger Transaction either (x) repeats to Dealer immediately following such Non-US Merger Transaction the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 8(a), 8(b), 8(c) and 8(d) of this Confirmation (as if references therein to (i) “execute, deliver” were replaced with “assume”, (ii) “execution, delivery” and “execution and delivery” were replaced with “assumption” and (iii) “executed and delivered” were replaced with “assumed”) or (y) solely in the case of the Tornier Merger Transaction, executes and delivers to Dealer an amendment


  to this Confirmation substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto within the time period set forth under Section 9(h)(ii)(G) above. For the avoidance of doubt, clause (x) of this paragraph shall not apply to the Permitted Tornier Merger Transaction.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Confirmation if (a) at or prior to the Tornier Merger Transaction, (1) Issuer enters into or consummates any Non-US Merger Transaction pursuant to which Issuer following such Non-US Merger Transaction is not a U.S. Entity (or, solely in the case of the Tornier Merger Transaction that occurs prior to the Cut-Off Date, not a Dutch public limited company or an entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes organized and existing under the laws of the Netherlands), (2) Company ceases to be a corporation organized under the laws of the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia that is Issuer (except solely as a result of the Tornier Merger Transaction that occurs prior to the Cut-Off Date), or (3) Issuer enters into or consummates any Non-US Merger Transaction and does not comply with the requirements of the immediately previous paragraph of this Section 9(y), or (b) after the Tornier Merger Transaction, (1) Issuer enters into or consummates any Non-US Merger Transaction pursuant to which Issuer following such Non-US Merger Transaction is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than the Islands of Bermuda, the Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland, Luxembourg, the Republic of Ireland, Canada or the United Kingdom that also becomes Company hereunder, (2) Company ceases to be Issuer or (3) Issuer enters into or consummates any Non-US Merger Transaction and does not comply with the requirements of the immediately previous paragraph of this Section 9(y), then, in any such case of clauses (a) and (b), such transaction or event shall constitute an Additional Termination Event applicable to the Transaction and, with respect to such Additional Termination Event, (A) Company shall be deemed to be the sole Affected Party, (B) the Transaction shall be the sole Affected Transaction and (C) Dealer shall be the party entitled to designate an Early Termination Date pursuant to Section 6(b) of the Agreement.

If, at any time following the occurrence of any Non-US Merger Transaction (other than the Permitted Tornier Merger Transaction), Dealer determines in good faith that (x) such Non-US Merger Transaction has had an adverse effect on Dealer’s rights and obligations under the Transaction or (y) Dealer would incur an increased amount of tax, duty, expense or fee to (1) acquire, establish, re-establish, substitute, maintain, unwind or dispose of any transaction(s) or asset(s) it deems necessary to hedge the economic risk of entering into and performing its obligations with respect to the Transaction, or (2) realize, recover or remit the proceeds of any such transaction(s) or asset(s) (each of the events described in clause (x) and clause (y) above, a “ Non-US Merger Event ”), then, in either case, Dealer shall give notice to Company of such Non-US Merger Event. Concurrently with delivering such notice, Dealer shall give notice to Company of a Price Adjustment that Dealer reasonably and in good faith determines appropriate to account for the economic effect on the Transaction of such Non-US Merger Event (unless Dealer determines that no Price Adjustment will produce a


commercially reasonably result, in which case Dealer shall so notify Company). Unless Dealer determines in good faith that no Price Adjustment will produce a commercially reasonably result, within one Scheduled Trading Day of receipt of such notice, Company shall notify Dealer that it elects to (A) agree to amend the Transaction to take into account such Price Adjustment or (B) pay Dealer an amount determined by Dealer that corresponds to such Price Adjustment (and, in each case, Company shall repeat the representation set forth in Section 8(g) of this Confirmation (which representation is confirmed to Dealer in writing by Issuer, if other than Company) as of the date of such election). If Company fails to give such notice to Dealer of its election in accordance with the foregoing by the end of that first Scheduled Trading Day, or if Dealer determines that no Price Adjustment will produce a commercially reasonably result, then such failure or such determination, as the case may be, shall constitute an Additional Termination Event applicable to the Transaction (it being understood that in the case of a Non-US Merger Event solely pursuant to clause (x) of the definition thereof, such determination shall constitute an Additional Termination Event only if the relevant adverse effect may have a material impact on Dealer’s rights and obligations under the Transaction, as determined by Dealer in good faith) and, with respect to such Additional Termination Event, (1) Company shall be deemed to be the sole Affected Party, (2) the Transaction shall be the sole Affected Transaction and (3) Dealer shall be the party entitled to designate an Early Termination Date pursuant to Section 6(b) of the Agreement.

For the avoidance of doubt, the parties hereto agree and acknowledge that (I) the occurrence of an Non-US Merger Event shall not preclude the occurrence of one or more additional, subsequent Non-US Merger Events and (II) if a Non-US Merger Event occurs, Dealer will determine, in its sole discretion, whether to exercise its rights under the provisions of this Section 9(y) and/or the rights and remedies of Dealer and its affiliates under any other provision of this Confirmation, the Equity Definitions and the Agreement.

 

  (z) Changes to Par Value . Company will promptly notify Dealer of any change to the par value of the ordinary shares of Tornier.

 

  (aa) Non-Occurrence of Tornier Merger Transaction . If as of the Cut-Off Date both (i) the Tornier Merger Transaction has not occurred and (ii) equity securities issued by a Dutch public limited company or an entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes organized and existing under the laws of the Netherlands have not otherwise become included in the “Shares” hereunder, then Dealer will, within 3 Currency Business Days of the Cut-Off Date, pay to Company an amount in EUR equal to EUR 16,530.00.

Dealer shall be obliged to make the Par Value Payment to the extent set forth in Section 1(b) of an amendment to this Confirmation substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto (it being understood that Dealer will not be obliged to make such Par Value Payment to the extent Dealer makes the payment required pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph).


  (bb) Certain Restricted Transactions . During the period commencing on, and including, the Trade Date and ending when Wright Medical Group N.V. executes and delivers to Dealer an amendment to this Confirmation substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A hereto, Company shall not, without Dealer’s prior written consent, sell, convey, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of a material amount of its, or its subsidiaries’, properties or assets to Tornier or its affiliates provided, however , that nothing in this subsection (bb) shall require the consent of the Dealer to consummate the Permitted Tornier Merger Transaction. For purposes of the preceding sentence, a material amount of the Company’s, or its subsidiaries’, properties or assets shall be deemed to be 15% or more on an aggregated basis of the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ properties and assets.

 

  (cc) Notice of Certain Events . Promptly following the public announcement by Issuer of any Potential Adjustment Event, Company shall notify Dealer of such public announcement; provided , however , that Company’s failure to notify Dealer of such public announcement shall not constitute an Event of Default or Termination Event to the extent Company pays to Dealer an amount in EUR equal to the Relevant Excess Amount, if any, corresponding to such Potential Adjustment Event.

Subject: Amendment to the Additional Warrant Confirmation dated February 10, 2015

The purpose of this Amendment to the Confirmation (this “ Amendment ”) is to amend certain terms and conditions of the Transaction (as defined below). Reference is made to the letter agreement dated as of February 10, 2015 (the “ Confirmation ”) that confirms the terms and conditions of the Warrants issued by the Company to the Dealer as of the Trade Date, as amended hereby (the “ Transaction ”). Capitalized terms used herein but not defined herein shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Confirmation; provided that if such meaning is amended thereby, such amended meaning shall apply.

 

1


On [            ], 2015 at [    ] [a.m.] / [p.m.], Company and [Wright Medical Group N.V.] 1 (which was previously known as Tornier N.V., the “ Parent ”) completed the Tornier Merger Transaction.

In consideration of the premises and the agreements, provisions and covenants contained in this Amendment, Company, Dealer and Parent hereby agree as follows:

 

1. Assignment and Assumption .

 

  (a) For an agreed consideration, the Company hereby assigns to the Parent, and the Parent hereby irrevocably assumes from the Company, as of the date hereof, all the obligations of Company under the Confirmation and all the obligations of the “Issuer” (with the meaning of such term amended in accordance with Section 2(a) below) under the Confirmation, provided that the representations and warranties of the Company in Section 8 of the Confirmation shall be replaced by the representations and warranties of the Parent in Section 3 of this Amendment. From and after the date hereof, Parent shall assume and succeed to the obligation of the Company to make due and punctual payment and delivery of all payment and delivery obligations under the Confirmation and the performance and observation of every covenant or other obligation on the part of the Company and/or the Issuer to be performed or observed by it.

 

  (b) On or prior to the Currency Business Day immediately following the date hereof, the Dealer shall transfer to the Parent a cash amount in Euros (the “ Par Value Payment ”) equal to the product of (i) a number of Shares equal to the Number of Warrants multiplied by the Warrant Entitlement, subject to any adjustments made to such numbers by the Calculation Agent on or prior to the date of such payment, and (ii) the par value per Share as of such date. Such Par Value Payment shall constitute an advance payment for purposes of paying up the Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants. Upon receipt, Parent shall reserve the Par Value Payment and apply the Par Value Payment against the obligation to pay-up the Shares upon exercise of the Warrants. To the extent that the Par Value Payment exceeds the aggregate nominal value of the Shares issued upon exercise of the Warrants, then such excess shall be regarded as share premium.

 

2. Adjustments to General Terms .

The definition of “Shares” in the Confirmation is replaced in its entirety with the following new definition:

“The ordinary shares, par value [0.03] 2 Euros per share, of [Wright Medical Group N.V.] (Exchange symbol “WMGI”). As a result, for the avoidance of doubt, references to “Issuer” and to “Company” throughout this Confirmation refer to [Wright Medical Group N.V.].”.

  (b) Neither the execution and delivery of this Amendment nor the incurrence or performance of obligations of Parent hereunder will conflict with or result in a breach of the articles of association of Parent, or any applicable law or regulation, or any order, writ, injunction or decree of any court or governmental authority or agency, or any agreement or instrument to which Parent or any of its subsidiaries is a party or by which Parent or any of its subsidiaries is bound or to which Parent or any of its subsidiaries is subject, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation of any lien under, any such agreement or instrument.

  (f) Parent is an “eligible contract participant” (as such term is defined in Section 1a(18) of the Commodity Exchange Act, as amended, other than a person that is an eligible contract participant under Section 1a(18) (C) of the Commodity Exchange Act).

 

  (g) Parent and each of its affiliates are not, on the date hereof, in possession of any material non-public information with respect to Parent or the Shares.

 

  (h) No state or local (including any non-U.S. jurisdiction’s) law, rule, regulation or regulatory order applicable to the Shares would give rise to any reporting, consent, registration or other requirement (including without limitation a requirement to obtain prior approval from any person or entity), except for the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act and rules promulgated thereunder, or, at and after the Tornier Merger Transaction, the reporting or registration requirements of the Dutch Corporate Income Tax Act 1969 (Wet op de vennootschapsbelasting 1969), in each case, as a result of Dealer or its affiliates owning or holding (however defined) Shares.

  (b) Repurchase Notices . The first sentence of Section 9(b) of the Confirmation is replaced with the following sentence:

“Issuer shall, on any day on which Issuer effects any repurchase of Shares, promptly give Dealer a written notice of such repurchase (a “ Repurchase Notice ”) on such day if following such repurchase, the number of outstanding Shares on such day, subject to any adjustments provided herein, is (i) less than [        ] 3  million (in the case of the first such notice) or (ii) thereafter more than [        ] 4  million less than the number of Shares included in the immediately preceding Repurchase Notice.”.

 

  (c) Additional Termination Events . Section 9(h)(ii) of the Confirmation is hereby amended by inserting the following clause (J) at the end thereof:

(J) On any day during the period from and including the date hereof, to and including the final Expiration Date, (I) the Notional Unwind Shares (as defined below) as of such day exceeds a number of Shares equal to 90.0% of the Par Value Delivery Number, or (II) Company makes a public announcement of any transaction or event that, in the reasonable opinion of Dealer would, upon consummation of such transaction or upon the occurrence of such event, as applicable, and after giving effect to any applicable adjustments hereunder, cause the Notional Unwind Shares immediately following the consummation of such transaction or the occurrence of such event to exceed a number of Shares equal to 90.0% of the Par Value Delivery Number. The “ Notional Unwind Shares ” as of any day is a number of Shares equal to (1) the amount that would be payable pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement (determined as of such day as if an Early Termination Date had been designated in respect of the Transaction and as if the Company were the sole Affected Party and the Transaction were the sole Affected Transaction), divided by (2) the Settlement Price (determined as if such day were a Valuation Date). “ Par Value Delivery Number ” means a number of Shares equal to (i) the Par Value Payment divided by (ii) the par value per Share.

  (e) Status of Claims in Bankruptcy. Section 9(r) of the Confirmation is replaced in its entirety with the following new Section 9(r):

Status of Claims in Bankruptcy. Dealer acknowledges and agrees that this Confirmation is not intended to convey to Dealer rights against Issuer with respect to the Transaction that are senior to the claims of shareholders of Issuer in any bankruptcy proceedings of Issuer; provided that nothing herein shall limit or shall be deemed to limit Dealer’s right to pursue remedies in the event of a breach by Issuer of its obligations and agreements with respect to the Transaction other than during any such bankruptcy proceedings; provided further that nothing herein shall limit or shall be deemed to limit Dealer’s rights in respect of any transactions other than the Transaction.”.

 

  (f) Non-Occurrence of Tornier Merger Transaction. Sections 9(aa) and 9(bb) of the Confirmation are hereby deleted in their entirety and replaced with “[Reserved]”.

 

  (g) Maximum Share Delivery. Section 9(p)(ii) of the Confirmation is replaced in its entirety with the following new Section 9(p)(ii):

In the event Issuer shall not have issued to Dealer the full number of Shares or Restricted Shares otherwise to be issued by Issuer to Dealer pursuant to the terms of the Transaction because Issuer has insufficient authorized capital to issue the full number of Shares or Restricted Shares (such deficit, the “ Deficit Shares ”), Issuer shall be continually obligated to transfer, from time to time, Shares or Restricted Shares, as the case may be, to Dealer until the full number of Deficit Shares have been transferred pursuant to this Section 9(p)(ii), when, and to the extent that Shares are repurchased, acquired or otherwise received by Company or any of its subsidiaries after the Trade Date (whether or not in exchange for cash, fair value or any other consideration), provided that in no event shall Issuer transfer any Shares or Restricted Shares to Dealer pursuant to this Section 9(p)(ii) to the extent that such transfer would cause the aggregate number of Shares and Restricted Shares transferred to Dealer to exceed the Maximum Number of Shares. Issuer shall immediately notify Dealer of the occurrence of any of the foregoing events (including the number of Shares that are repurchased, acquired or otherwise received by Company or any of its subsidiaries after the Trade Date and the corresponding number of Shares or Restricted Shares, as the case may be, to be transferred) and promptly transfer such Shares or Restricted Shares, as the case may be, thereafter.

 

5.

Share Issue . Dealer acknowledges that to the extent (but solely to the extent) the issue of a Share hereunder would result in (i) the amount in EUR equal to the product of (x) the aggregate number of Shares issued to Dealer pursuant hereto and (y) the par value per Share to exceed (ii) the aggregate amount in EUR paid to Parent in connection with the Transaction (whether pursuant to the Par Value Payment or otherwise paid to Parent for purposes of paying up the aggregate par value of the Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, and whether on the date of issue or delivery of such Share or at such prior time as Dealer may elect), Parent will not be required to issue such Share unless and until Dealer pays such amounts to the Parent as a payment ( volstorting ) on such Share as


  required to eliminate such excess or otherwise takes such steps (if any) as required under Dutch law to give effect to such issue. If any issue and/or delivery owed to Dealer under the Transaction is not made, in whole or in part, as a result of this provision, Parent’s obligation to make such issue and/or delivery shall not be extinguished and Parent shall make such issue and delivery as promptly as practicable after, but in no event later than one Business Day after, Dealer (whether on or after the original date of issue and delivery of the relevant Share) pays such amounts to the Parent as a payment ( volstorting ) on such Share as required under this provision to give effect to such issue or otherwise takes such steps (if any) as required under Dutch law to give effect to such issue.

 

6. Scope of the Amendment . This Amendment amends solely the terms and provisions of the Transaction and the Confirmation set forth herein and nothing in this Amendment is intended or shall be construed as amending or waiving any other terms or provisions of the Transaction, the Confirmation or any other rights of the Company or Dealer under the Transaction or the Confirmation. Company, Parent and Dealer acknowledge that each of the Transaction and the Confirmation (each as amended by this Amendment) are in full force and effect and is hereby confirmed and ratified in all respects. References in the Confirmation to the Transaction or the Confirmation shall mean the Transaction or the Confirmation as amended by this Amendment.

 

7. Governing Law . This Amendment will be governed by and construed in accordance with laws of the State of New York (without reference to choice of law doctrine).

 

8. Waiver of Jury Trial . Each party waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any right it may have to a trial by jury in respect of any suit, action or proceeding relating to the Transaction, as amended by this Amendment. Each party (i) certifies that no representative, agent or attorney of any party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other party would not, in the event of such a suit, action or proceeding, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver and (ii) acknowledges that it and the other parties have been induced to enter into the Transaction, as amended by this Amendment, as applicable, by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications provided herein.

Wright Medical Group, Inc. Prices $550 Million Cash Convertible Senior Notes Offering

MEMPHIS, Tenn. – February 10, 2015 - Wright Medical Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: WMGI) (the “Company”) today announced the pricing of its offering of $550 million aggregate principal amount of cash convertible senior notes due 2020 (“the notes”). The notes were sold to initial purchasers who are reselling the notes to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Company also granted the initial purchasers a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional $82.5 million aggregate principal amount of notes solely to cover over-allotments. The offering is expected to close on February 13, 2015, subject to customary closing conditions.

The notes will be senior unsecured obligations and pay interest semiannually in arrears at a rate of 2.00% per annum on February 15 and August 15 of each year, beginning on August 15, 2015. Prior to August 15, 2019, the notes will be convertible into cash at the option of the holder under certain conditions and, thereafter until the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the maturity date, at any time. The notes mature on February 15, 2020. The initial conversion rate for the notes is 32.3939 shares of the Company’s common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the notes, which is equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $30.87 per share of the Company’s common stock, representing an approximately 22.50% conversion premium based on the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock of $25.20 per share on February 9, 2015. The notes will be subject to modifications upon the consummation of the Company’s pending merger with Tornier N.V. (“Tornier,” which will be known as Wright Medical Group N.V. (“Wright N.V.”) at and after the effective time of the Tornier merger), including that upon consummation of the merger, Wright N.V. will fully and unconditionally guarantee the Company’s obligations under the indenture and the notes on a senior unsecured basis, and calculations and other determinations with respect to the notes relating to the Company’s common stock will instead be calculated or determined by reference to the Wright N.V.’s ordinary shares.

In connection with the sale of the notes, the Company has entered into privately negotiated cash convertible note hedge transactions with certain financial institutions (the “option counterparties”). The cash convertible note hedge transactions are intended to reduce the net amount of cash payments that the Company may be required to make upon conversion of the notes to the extent that such cash payments exceed the principal amount of converted notes. The Company also has entered into separate privately negotiated warrant transactions with the option counterparties, and the warrants have a strike price of $40, or approximately 59% higher than the last reported sale price per share of the Company’s common stock on February 9, 2015. The issuance of the warrants could have a dilutive effect on the Company’s common stock to the extent that the market price per share of the Company’s common stock exceeds the applicable strike price of the warrants. If the initial purchasers exercise their option to purchase additional notes, the Company intends to enter into additional cash convertible note hedge and warrant transactions.


It is expected that the cash convertible note hedge and warrant transactions will be subject to certain modifications upon consummation of the Tornier merger transaction. The Tornier merger transaction is not expected to be a “fundamental change” or “make-whole fundamental change” under the indenture governing the notes. In addition, at and after the consummation of the Tornier merger transaction, it is expected that the Wright N.V. will assume the Company’s obligations under the warrant transactions, and calculations and other determinations with respect to the cash convertible note hedge and warrant transactions relating to the Company’s common stock will instead be calculated or determined by reference to Wright N.V.’s ordinary shares.

The Company estimates that the net proceeds of the offering will be approximately $533 million (or $613 million if the initial purchasers exercise their over-allotment option in full), after deducting the initial purchasers’ discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses. The Company expects to use approximately $51 million of the net proceeds from the offering (or $58 million if the initial purchasers exercise their over-allotment option in full) to pay the cost of the cash convertible note hedge transactions (after such cost is partially offset by the proceeds to the Company from the sale of the warrants). The Company also expects to use approximately $292 million of the net proceeds of the offering to repurchase approximately $240 million aggregate principal amount of the Company’s outstanding 2.00% cash convertible senior notes due 2017 in privately negotiated transactions and the remaining net proceeds from the offering for general corporate purposes, including possible acquisitions.

The Company has been advised that, in connection with establishing their initial hedge positions with respect to the cash convertible note hedge and warrant transactions, the option counterparties (or their respective affiliates) expect to enter into various derivative or other hedging transactions with respect to the Company’s common stock concurrently with or shortly after the pricing of the notes. These hedging activities could increase (or reduce the size of any decrease in) the market price of the Company’s common stock or the notes.

In addition, the option counterparties or their respective affiliates may modify their hedge positions following the pricing of the notes from time to time (including in connection with the Tornier merger transaction) by entering into or unwinding various derivatives with respect to the Company’s common stock and/or purchasing or selling common stock or other securities of the Company in secondary market transactions (and/or, in each case, upon consummation of the Tornier merger transaction, the ordinary shares or other securities of Wright N.V.) (and are likely to do so during any observation period related to a conversion of notes). This activity could also impact the market price of the Company’s common stock, the Tornier ordinary shares, other securities of Tornier or the notes, which could affect the ability to convert the notes and, to the extent the activity occurs during any observation period related to a conversion of notes, it could affect the amount of cash holders will receive upon conversion of the notes.

This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy the notes or any other securities, and shall not constitute an offer, solicitation or sale in any state or jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.

The offer and sale of the notes have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any state securities laws. The notes may not be offered or sold in the United States except pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws.

Wright Medical Group, Inc. Issues $632.5 Million of Cash Convertible Senior Notes

MEMPHIS, Tenn. – February 13, 2015 - Wright Medical Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: WMGI) (the “Company”) today announced the closing of its previously announced offering of $632.5 million aggregate principal amount of cash convertible senior notes due 2020 (“the notes”), which includes the exercise in full of the initial purchasers’ over-allotment option. The notes were sold to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

The notes bear interest at a rate of 2.00% per year and are payable semiannually in arrears on February 15 and August 15 of each year, beginning on August 15, 2015. Prior to August 15, 2019, the notes will be convertible into cash at the option of the holder under certain conditions and, thereafter until the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the maturity date, at any time. The notes mature on February 15, 2020. The initial conversion rate for the notes is 32.3939 shares of the Company’s common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the notes. The notes would be subject to modifications if the Company’s pending merger with Tornier N.V. (“Tornier,” which will be known as Wright Medical Group N.V. (“Wright N.V.”) at and after the effective time of the Tornier merger) is consummated, including that upon consummation of the merger, Wright N.V. would fully and unconditionally guarantee the Company’s obligations under the indenture and the notes on a senior unsecured basis, and calculations and other determinations with respect to the notes relating to the Company’s common stock would instead be calculated or determined by reference to Wright N.V.’s ordinary shares.

In connection with the sale of the notes, the Company entered into privately negotiated cash convertible note hedge transactions and warrant transactions with certain financial institutions (the “option counterparties”) in order to reduce the net amount of cash payments that the Company may be required to make upon conversion of the notes to the extent that such cash payments exceed the principal amount of converted notes.

The net proceeds from the offering were approximately $613 million after deducting the initial purchasers’ discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses. The Company used approximately $58 million to pay the cost of the cash convertible note hedge transactions (after such cost was partially offset by the proceeds to the Company from the sale of the warrants). The Company also used approximately $292 million of the net proceeds from the offering to repurchase approximately $240 million aggregate principal amount of the Company’s outstanding 2.00% cash convertible senior notes due 2017 in privately negotiated transactions.
