Re:	Base Warrants

The purpose of this letter agreement (this “Confirmation”) is to confirm the terms and conditions of the Warrants issued by Wright Medical Group, Inc. (“Company”) to JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association, London Branch (“Dealer”) as of the Trade Date specified below (the “Transaction”). This letter agreement constitutes a “Confirmation” as referred to in the ISDA Master Agreement specified below. This Confirmation shall replace any previous agreements with respect to the Transaction and serve as the final documentation for the Transaction.

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. (“ISDA”), are incorporated into this Confirmation. In the event of any inconsistency between the Equity Definitions and this Confirmation, this Confirmation shall govern.

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. In the event of any inconsistency between provisions of that 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 between the parties from time to time.

In the case of any calculation, adjustment or determination by the Hedging Party, the Determining Party or the Calculation Agent, following any written request from Issuer, the Hedging Party, the Determining Party or the Calculation Agent, as the case may be, shall promptly provide to Issuer a written explanation describing in reasonable detail the basis for such calculation, adjustment or determination (including any quotation, market data or information from internal or external sources used in making such calculation, adjustment or determination, but without disclosing any proprietary models or other information that may be proprietary or confidential). If Issuer promptly disputes such calculation, adjustment or determination in writing and provides reasonable detail as to the basis for such dispute, the Calculation Agent shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, discuss the dispute with Issuer in good faith.

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.

(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

(A)

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).

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.

 

---

---

 

(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.

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.

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.

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.
