Ladies and Gentlemen:
     Wright Medical Group, a Delaware corporation (herein called the “Company” which term shall include its direct and indirect subsidiaries unless the context otherwise requires), proposes to issue and sell to the several Underwriters listed in Schedule I hereto (the “Underwriters”), for whom you are acting as representative (the “Representative”), $175,000,000 principal amount of its 2.625% Convertible Senior Notes due 2014 (the “Firm Securities”). The Securities will be issued pursuant to an Indenture to be dated as of November 26, 2007 (the “Indenture”) between the Company and The Bank of New York, as trustee (the “Trustee”). The Company also proposes to issue and sell to the Underwriters not more than an additional $25,000,000 principal amount of its 2.625% Convertible Senior Notes due 2014 (the “Additional Securities”) if and to the extent that the Underwriters shall have determined to exercise the right to purchase such 2.625% Convertible Senior Notes due 2014 granted to the Underwriters in Section 2 hereof. The Firm Securities and the Additional Securities are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Securities”. The Securities will be convertible into shares (the “Underlying Securities”) of common stock of the Company, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”).
     The Company hereby confirms its agreement with the several Underwriters concerning the purchase and sale of the Securities, as follows:
     1. Registration Statement. The Company has prepared and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder (collectively, the “Securities Act”), a registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-147487), including a prospectus, relating to the Securities and the Underlying Securities that will be issued upon conversion thereof. Such registration statement, as amended

 


 

at the time it becomes effective, including the information, if any, deemed pursuant to Rule 430A, 430B or 430C under the Securities Act to be part of the registration statement at the time of its effectiveness (“Rule 430 Information”), is referred to herein as the “Registration Statement”; and as used herein, the term “Preliminary Prospectus” means each prospectus included in such registration statement (and any amendments thereto) before it becomes effective, any prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(a) under the Securities Act and the prospectus included in the Registration Statement at the time of its effectiveness that omits Rule 430 Information, and the term “Prospectus” means the prospectus in the form first used (or made available upon request of purchasers pursuant to Rule 173 under the Securities Act) in connection with confirmation of sales of the Securities. If the Company has filed an abbreviated registration statement pursuant to Rule 462(b) under the Securities Act (the “Rule 462 Registration Statement”), then any reference herein to the term “Registration Statement” shall be deemed to include such Rule 462 Registration Statement. Any reference in this Agreement to the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include the documents incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 under the Securities Act, as of the effective date of the Registration Statement or the date of such Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus, as the case may be and any reference to “amend”, “amendment” or “supplement” with respect to the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include any documents filed after such date under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder (collectively, the “Exchange Act”) that are deemed to be incorporated by reference therein.
     At or prior to the time when sales of the Securities were first made (the “Time of Sale”), the Company had prepared the following information (collectively with the information referred to in the next succeeding sentence, the “Time of Sale Information”): a Preliminary Prospectus dated November 19, 2007, and each “free-writing prospectus” (as defined pursuant to Rule 405 under the Securities Act) listed on Annex B hereto as constituting part of the Time of Sale Information.
     2. Purchase of the Securities by the Underwriters. (a) The Company agrees to issue and sell the Securities to the several Underwriters as provided in this Agreement, and each Underwriter, on the basis of the representations, warranties and agreements set forth herein and subject to the conditions set forth herein, agrees, severally and not jointly, to purchase from the Company the respective principal amount of Securities set forth opposite such Underwriter’s name in Schedule I hereto at a price equal to 97.0% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest, if any, from November 19, 2007 to the Closing Date (as defined below). The Company will not be obligated to deliver any of the Securities except upon payment for all the Securities to be purchased as provided herein.
     On the basis of the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement, and subject to its terms and conditions, the Company agrees to sell to the Underwriters the Additional Securities, and the Underwriters shall have the right to purchase,

2


 

severally and not jointly, in whole, or from time to time in part, up to an aggregate of $25,000,000 principal amount of Additional Securities at the Purchase Price plus accrued interest, if any, from the Closing Date (as defined below) to the date of payment and delivery.
     If any Additional Securities are to be purchased, the number of Additional Securities to be purchased by each Underwriter shall be the number of Additional Securities which bears the same ratio to the aggregate number of Additional Securities being purchased as the number of Firm Securities set forth opposite the name of such Underwriter in Schedule I hereto (or such number increased as set forth in Section 11 hereof) bears to the aggregate number of Firm Securities being purchased from the Company by the several Underwriters.
     If you, on behalf of the Underwriters, exercise such option, you shall so notify the Company in writing not later than 30 days after the date of this Agreement, which notice shall specify the principal amount of Additional Securities to be purchased by the Underwriters and the date on which such Additional Securities are to be purchased. Such date may be the same as the Closing Date but not earlier than the Closing Date nor later than ten business days after the date of such notice.
     (b) The Company understands that the Underwriters intend to make a public offering of the Securities as soon after the effectiveness of this Agreement as in the judgment of the Representative is advisable, and initially to offer the Securities on the terms set forth in the Prospectus. The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Underwriters may offer and sell Securities to or through any affiliate of an Underwriter and that any such affiliate may offer and sell Securities purchased by it to or through any Underwriter.
     (c) Payment for and delivery of the Firm Securities will be made at the offices of Davis Polk & Wardwell at 10:00 A.M., New York City time, on November 26, 2007, or at such other time or place on the same or such other date, not later than the fifth business day thereafter, as the Representative and the Company may agree upon in writing. The time and date of such payment and delivery is referred to herein as the “Closing Date”.
          Payment for and delivery of the Additional Securities will be made at the offices of Davis Polk & Wardwell at 10:00 A.M., New York City time, on the date specified in the notice described in Section 2(a) or at such other time or place on the same or such other date, not later than January 3, 2008, as the Representatives and the Company may agree upon in writing. The time and date of such payment and delivery is referred to herein as the “Optional Closing Date”.
     (d) Payment for the Firm Securities and Additional Securities shall be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account(s) specified by the Company to the Representative against delivery to the nominee of The Depository Trust Company, for the account of the Underwriters, of one or more global notes representing

3


 

the Firm Securities and the Additional Securities (collectively, the “Global Note”), with any transfer taxes payable in connection with the sale of the Securities duly paid by the Company. The Global Note will be made available for inspection by the Representative not later than 1:00 P.M., New York City time, on the business day prior to the Closing Date or the Optional Closing Date, as the case may be.
     (e) The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Underwriters are acting solely in the capacity of an arm’s length contractual counterparty to the Company with respect to the offering of Securities contemplated hereby (including in connection with determining the terms of the offering) and not as a financial advisor or a fiduciary to, or an agent of, the Company or any other person. Additionally, neither the Representative nor any other Underwriter is advising the Company or any other person as to any legal, tax, investment, accounting or regulatory matters in any jurisdiction. The Company shall consult with its own advisors concerning such matters and shall be responsible for making its own independent investigation and appraisal of the transactions contemplated hereby, and the Underwriters shall have no responsibility or liability to the Company with respect thereto. Any review by the Underwriters of the Company, the transactions contemplated hereby or other matters relating to such transactions will be performed solely for the benefit of the Underwriters and shall not be on behalf of the Company.
     3. Representations and Warranties of the Company. The Company represents and warrants to each Underwriter that:
(a) Preliminary Prospectus. No order preventing or suspending the use of any Preliminary Prospectus has been issued by the Commission, and each Preliminary Prospectus, at the time of filing thereof, complied in all material respects with the Securities Act and did not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided that the Company makes no representation and warranty with respect to any statements or omissions made in reliance upon and in conformity with information relating to any Underwriter furnished to the Company in writing by such Underwriter through the Representative expressly for use in any Preliminary Prospectus.

(c) Issuer Free Writing Prospectus. The Company (including its agents and representatives, other than the Underwriters in their capacity as such) has not prepared, made, used, authorized, approved or referred to and will not prepare, make, use, authorize, approve or refer to any “written communication” (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) that constitutes an offer to sell or solicitation of an offer to buy the Securities (each such communication by the Company or its agents and representatives (other than a communication referred to in clauses (i) (ii) and (iii) below) an “Issuer Free Writing Prospectus”) other than (i) any document not constituting a prospectus pursuant to Section 2(a)(10)(a) of the Securities Act or Rule 134 under the Securities Act, (ii) the Preliminary Prospectus, (iii) the Prospectus, (iv) the documents listed on Annex B hereto as constituting the Time of Sale Information and (v) any electronic road show or other written communications, in each case approved in writing in advance by the Representative.

(q) No Consents Required. Each approval, consent, order, authorization, designation, declaration or filing by or with any regulatory, administrative or other governmental body necessary under Applicable Law in connection with the execution and delivery by the Company of each of the Transaction Documents, the issuance and sale of the Securities and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, (except as may be required in connection with the registration of the Securities under the Securities Act, the qualification of the Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act and such consents, approvals, authorizations, orders and registrations or qualifications as may be required under applicable state securities laws in connection with the purchase and distribution of the Securities by the Underwriters) has been duly obtained or made and is in full force and effect.

9


 

documents of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of a character required by the Securities Act or the Rules and Regulations to be described or referred to in the Registration Statement or Prospectus or to be filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement which have not been accurately described in all material respects or referred to in the Registration Statement or Prospectus or filed as exhibits to the Registration Statement, as the case may be. The contracts so described in the Registration Statement and Prospectus are in full force and effect on the date hereof, and neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries nor, to the best of the Company’s knowledge, any other party, is in breach of or default under any of such contracts where such breach or default would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(s) Independent Accountants. KPMG LLP, who has certified certain financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries, is an independent registered public accounting firm with respect to the Company and its subsidiaries within the applicable rules and regulations adopted by the Commission and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) required by the Securities Act and the Rules and Regulations.
(t) Title to Real and Personal Property. Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries has good and marketable title to all of their owned material properties and assets as described in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information or the Prospectus as being owned by them, free and clear of any lien, mortgage, pledge, charge or encumbrance except those reflected in the financial statements included or incorporated by reference in the Time of Sale Information, or as described in the Time of Sale Information or to the extent that the failure to have such title or the presence of such liens would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. All leases to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party are valid and binding obligations of the Company or such Subsidiary, as the case may be, except as would not be reasonably expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, and no default by the Company or any such Subsidiary has occurred or is continuing thereunder which would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
     (u) Title to Intellectual Property. Except as described in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information or the Prospectus, each of the Company and its Subsidiaries owns or possesses adequate rights to use all material inventions, designs, trade secrets, know-how, trademarks, service marks, trade names, copyright works or other information (herein collectively called “Intellectual Property”) which are necessary to conduct its businesses as described in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus. Except as set forth in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information or the Prospectus, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any notice of, or has any knowledge of, any infringement of or conflict with any rights of the Company by others with respect to any Intellectual Property which, if the subject of an unfavorable decision, ruling or finding, would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Except as set forth in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information or the Prospectus, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any notice of, or has knowledge of, any infringement of or

10


 

conflict with any rights of others with respect to any Intellectual Property which if the subject of an unfavorable decision, ruling or finding, would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. To the Company’s knowledge none of the Intellectual Property licensed to or by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is unenforceable or invalid; and the Company is not aware (without having made inquiry) of the granting of any patent rights to third parties or the filing of any patent applications by third parties or of any other rights of third parties to, or conflicting with, any Intellectual Property owned by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. A true and complete list of patents material to the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ businesses is set forth on Schedule IV.
(v) Patent Applications. To the Company’s knowledge, in connection with the filing of all patent applications filed or caused to be filed by the Company and its Subsidiaries with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (herein called the “PTO”), each of the Company and its Subsidiaries has complied with the PTO’s duty of candor and disclosure for their patent and has made no material misrepresentation in any such application or in any application filed with any applicable foreign patent authorities. The Company is unaware of any facts material to a determination of patentability regarding the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ patent applications not called to the attention of the PTO and is unaware of any facts not called to the attention of the PTO which would preclude the grant of a patent for such applications. The Company has no knowledge of any facts which would materially conflict with the Company’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ ownership rights to its patent applications.
(w) Investment Company Act. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is, and after the offer and sale of the Securities will be, an “investment company” or an entity “controlled” by an “investment company” within the meaning of such terms under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (herein called the “Investment Company Act”) and the Rules And Regulations of the Commission.
     (x) Taxes. Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries has filed all federal, state, local and foreign income tax returns required to be filed and has paid all taxes indicated by such returns and all assessments received by it to the extent that such taxes have become due and are not being contested in good faith except where the failure to file or failure to file on a timely basis such returns and pay such taxes would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. All tax liabilities (including those being contested in good faith) for the periods covered by the consolidated financial statements of the Company that are included in the Registration Statement have been adequately provided for in such financial statements.
     (y) Licenses and Permits. Except as described in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus, the Company and each of its Subsidiaries now holds and at the Closing Date and any later date on which the Additional Securities are purchased, as the case may be, will hold, all licenses, consents, certificates, orders, approvals and permits from all state, Federal, foreign and other governmental or regulatory authorities, including, but not limited to, the FDA and any foreign, federal, state or local governmental or regulatory authorities performing functions similar to those

11


 

performed by the FDA, that are required under Applicable Law for the conduct of the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries as such business is currently conducted and as proposed to be conducted as described in the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus, except for such licenses, consents, certificates, orders, approvals and permits which the failure to hold would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. All of such licenses, consents, certificates, orders, approvals and permits held by the Company are valid and in full force and effect (and there is no proceeding pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened which may cause any such license, consent, certificate, order, approval or permit to be withdrawn, cancelled, suspended or not renewed).
     (z) No Labor Disputes. To the Company’s knowledge, no labor disturbance by or dispute exists or is imminent with the employees of the Company or any or its Subsidiaries, that would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. No collective bargaining agreement exists with any of the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ employees and, to the Company’s knowledge, no such agreement is imminent.
(aa) Compliance with Applicable Laws.

under this Section 8. If any such proceeding shall be brought or asserted against an Indemnified Person and it shall have notified the Indemnifying Person thereof, the Indemnifying Person shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person (who shall not, without the consent of the Indemnified Person, be counsel to the Indemnifying Person) to represent the Indemnified Person and any others entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 8 that the Indemnifying Party may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and expenses of such proceeding and shall pay the fees and expenses of counsel related to such proceeding, as incurred. In any such proceeding, any Indemnified Person shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Person unless (i) the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person shall have mutually agreed to the contrary; (ii) the Indemnifying Person has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person; (iii) the Indemnified Person shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Person; or (iv) the named parties in any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interest between them. It is understood and agreed that the Indemnifying Person shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceeding in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all Indemnified Persons, and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. Any such separate firm for any Underwriter, its affiliates, directors and officers and any control persons of such Underwriter shall be designated in writing by J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. and any such separate firm for the Company, its directors, its officers who signed the Registration Statement and any control persons of the Company shall be designated in writing by the Company. The Indemnifying Person 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, the Indemnifying Person agrees to indemnify each Indemnified Person from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an Indemnified Person shall have requested that an Indemnifying Person reimburse the Indemnified Person for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by this paragraph, the Indemnifying Person shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 30 days after receipt by the Indemnifying Person of such request and (ii) the Indemnifying Person shall not have reimbursed the Indemnified Person in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement. No Indemnifying Person shall, without the 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 indemnification could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person, unless such settlement (x) includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person, from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such

24


 

proceeding and (y) does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified Person.
     (d) Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in paragraphs (a) and (b) above is unavailable to an Indemnified Person or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then each Indemnifying Person 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 (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other from the offering of the Securities or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the net proceeds (before deducting expenses) received by the Company from the sale of the Securities and the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters in connection therewith, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover of the Prospectus, bear to the aggregate offering price of the Securities. The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or by the Underwriters and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.
     (e) Limitation on Liability. The Company and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 8 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in paragraph (d) above. The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Person as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in paragraph (d) above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8, in no event shall an Underwriter be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by such Underwriter with respect to the offering of the Securities exceeds the amount of any damages that such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Underwriters’ obligations to contribute pursuant

25


 

to this Section 8 are several in proportion to their respective purchase obligations hereunder and not joint.
     (f) Non-Exclusive Remedies. The remedies provided for in this Section 8 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.
     9. Effectiveness of Agreement. This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution and delivery hereof by the parties hereto.
     10. Termination. This Agreement may be terminated in the absolute discretion of the Representative, by notice to the Company, if after the execution and delivery of this Agreement and prior to the Closing Date (i) trading generally shall have been suspended or materially limited on the New York Stock Exchange or the over-the-counter market; (ii) trading of any securities issued or guaranteed by the Company shall have been suspended on any exchange or in any over-the-counter market; (iii) a general moratorium on commercial banking activities shall have been declared by federal or New York State authorities; or (iv) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities or any change in financial markets or any calamity or crisis, either within or outside the United States, that, in the judgment of the Representative, is material and adverse and makes it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offering, sale or delivery of the Securities on the terms and in the manner contemplated by this Agreement, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus. In the event this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section 10, there shall be no liability of the Company to the Underwriters and no liability of the Underwriters to the Company.
     11. Defaulting Underwriter. (a) If, on the Closing Date, any Underwriter defaults on its obligation to purchase the Securities that it has agreed to purchase hereunder, the non-defaulting Underwriters may in their discretion arrange for the purchase of such Securities by other persons satisfactory to the Company on the terms contained in this Agreement. If, within 24 hours after any such default by any Underwriter, the non-defaulting Underwriters do not arrange for the purchase of such Securities, then the Company shall be entitled to a further period of 24 hours within which to procure other persons satisfactory to the non-defaulting Underwriters to purchase such Securities on such terms. If other persons become obligated or agree to purchase the Securities of a defaulting Underwriter, either the non-defaulting Underwriters or the Company may postpone the Closing Date for up to five full business days in order to effect any changes that in the opinion of counsel for the Company or counsel for the Underwriters may be necessary in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus or in any other document or arrangement, and the Company agrees to promptly prepare any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus that effects any such changes. As used in this Agreement, the term “Underwriter” includes, for all purposes of this Agreement unless the context otherwise requires, any person not listed in Schedule 1 hereto that, pursuant to this Section 11, purchases Securities that a defaulting Underwriter agreed but failed to purchase.

26


 

     (b) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Securities of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters by the non-defaulting Underwriters and the Company as provided in paragraph (a) above, the aggregate principal amount of such Securities that remains unpurchased does not exceed one-eleventh of the aggregate principal amount of all the Securities, then the Company shall have the right to require each non-defaulting Underwriter to purchase the principal amount of Securities that such Underwriter agreed to purchase hereunder plus such Underwriter’s pro rata share (based on the principal amount of Securities that such Underwriter agreed to purchase hereunder) of the Securities of such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters for which such arrangements have not been made.
     (c) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Securities of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters by the non-defaulting Underwriters and the Company as provided in paragraph (a) above, the aggregate principal amount of such Securities that remains unpurchased exceeds one-eleventh of the aggregate principal amount of all the Securities, or if the Company shall not exercise the right described in paragraph (b) above, then this Agreement shall terminate without liability on the part of the non-defaulting Underwriters. Any termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 10 shall be without liability on the part of the Company, except that the Company will continue to be liable for the payment of expenses as set forth in Section 12 hereof and except that the provisions of Section 8 hereof shall not terminate and shall remain in effect.
     (d) Nothing contained herein shall relieve a defaulting Underwriter of any liability it may have to the Company or any non-defaulting Underwriter for damages caused by its default.
     12. Payment of Expenses. (a) Whether or not the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated or this Agreement is terminated, the Company will pay or cause to be paid all costs and expenses incident to the performance of its obligations hereunder, including without limitation, (i) the costs incident to the authorization, issuance, sale, preparation and delivery of the Securities and any taxes payable in that connection; (ii) the costs incident to the preparation, printing and filing under the Securities Act of the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, any Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus (including all exhibits, amendments and supplements thereto) and the distribution thereof; (iii) the costs of reproducing and distributing each of the Transaction Documents; (iv) the fees and expenses of the Company’s counsel and independent accountants; (v) the fees and expenses incurred in connection with the registration or qualification and determination of eligibility for investment of the Securities under the laws of such jurisdictions as the Representative may designate and the preparation, printing and distribution of a Blue Sky Memorandum (including the related fees and expenses of counsel for the Underwriters); (vi) any fees charged by rating agencies for rating the Securities; (vii) the fees and expenses of the Trustee and any paying agent (including related fees and expenses of any counsel to such parties); (viii) all expenses and application fees incurred in connection with any filing with, and clearance of the offering

27


 

by, the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.; and (ix) all expenses incurred by the Company in connection with any “road show” presentation to potential investors.
     (b) If (i) this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 7 or clause (ii) of Section 10, (ii) the Company for any reason fails to tender the Securities for delivery to the Underwriters or (iii) the Underwriters decline to purchase the Securities for any reason permitted under this Agreement, other than pursuant to clause (i), (iii) or (iv) of Section 10, the Company agrees to reimburse the Underwriters for all out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including the fees and expenses of their counsel) reasonably incurred by the Underwriters in connection with this Agreement and the offering contemplated hereby.
     13. Persons Entitled to Benefit of Agreement. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and the officers and directors and any controlling persons referred to herein, and the affiliates of each Underwriter referred to in Section 8 hereof. Nothing in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to give any other person any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Agreement or any provision contained herein. No purchaser of Securities from any Underwriter shall be deemed to be a successor merely by reason of such purchase.
     14. Survival. The respective indemnities, rights of contribution, representations, warranties and agreements of the Company and the Underwriters contained in this Agreement or made by or on behalf of the Company or the Underwriters pursuant to this Agreement or any certificate delivered pursuant hereto shall survive the delivery of and payment for the Securities and shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any termination of this Agreement or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Company or the Underwriters.
     15. Certain Defined Terms. For purposes of this Agreement, (a) except where otherwise expressly provided, the term “affiliate” has the meaning set forth in Rule 405 under the Securities Act; (b) the term “business day” means any day other than a day on which banks are permitted or required to be closed in New York City; and (c) the term “subsidiary” has the meaning set forth in Rule 405 under the Securities Act.
     16. Miscellaneous. (a) Authority of the Representative. Any action by the Underwriters hereunder may be taken by J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. on behalf of the Underwriters, and any such action taken by J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. shall be binding upon the Underwriters.
     (b) Notices. All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if mailed or transmitted and confirmed by any standard form of telecommunication. Notices to the Underwriters shall be given to the Representative c/o J.P. Morgan Securities Inc., 277 Park Avenue, New York, New York 10017 (fax: 212 ###-###-####); Attention: Equity Syndicate Desk. Notices to the Company shall be given to it at 5677 Airline Road, Arlington, Tennessee 38002, Attention: Gary D. Henley, President and Chief Executive Officer.

     (c) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.
     (d) Counterparts. This Agreement may be signed in counterparts (which may include counterparts delivered by any standard form of telecommunication), each of which shall be an original and all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
     (e) Amendments or Waivers. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, nor any consent or approval to any departure therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the parties hereto.
     (f) Headings. The headings herein are included for convenience of reference only and are not intended to be part of, or to affect the meaning or interpretation of, this Agreement.

     The exact stock prices and effective dates may not be set forth in the table above, in which case:
   
if the stock price is between two stock price amounts in the table above or the effective date is between two effective dates in the table above, the number of additional shares issued upon conversion of the notes will be determined by straight-line interpolation between the number of additional shares set forth for the higher and lower stock price amounts and/or the earlier and later effective dates, as applicable, based on a 365-day year.
 
   
if the stock price is greater than $130.00 per share of common stock (subject to adjustment in the same manner as the applicable prices set forth in the table above), no additional shares will be added to the conversion rate.
 
   
if the stock price is less than $26.12 per share of common stock (subject to adjustment in the same manner as the applicable prices set forth in the table above), no additional shares will be added to the conversion rate.

C-2
