Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Supplemental Indenture
Pursuant to an
indenture dated as of February 13, 2015, between Wright Medical Group, Inc. (WMGI) and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee (the Trustee) (the 2020 Indenture), WMGI issued $632.5
million aggregate principal amount of 2.00% Cash Convertible Senior Notes due 2020 (the 2020 Notes).
On November 24,
2015, Wright Medical Group N.V. (Wright), WMGI and the Trustee entered into a Supplemental Indenture to the 2020 Indenture (the 2020 Supplemental Indenture). The 2020 Supplemental Indenture provides for, among other things,
Wrights full and unconditional guarantee, on a senior unsecured basis, of all of WMGIs obligations relating to the 2020 Notes (the Guarantee) and to make certain other adjustments to the terms of the 2020 Indenture to give
effect to the merger of Trooper Merger Sub Inc., an indirect and wholly owned subsidiary of Wright, with and into WMGI, effective as of October 1, 2015 (the Merger).
The foregoing description of the 2020 Supplemental Indenture is qualified in its entirety by reference to the 2020 Supplemental Indenture,
which is filed as Exhibit 4.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
Assumption of Warrant
Also on November 24, 2015, Wright executed amendments relating to WMGIs warrant transactions in which Wright assumed the
warrants initially issued by WMGI on February 9 and 10, 2015. The assumed warrants are initially exercisable into 21,122,256 ordinary shares of Wright and are subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events. The strike price of the
warrants will initially be $38.8010 per share. The warrants are exercisable over the 200 trading day period beginning on May 15, 2020, as such period may be adjusted. The warrant transactions will have a dilutive effect to the extent that
the market value per ordinary share of Wright during such period exceeds the applicable strike price of the warrants.
The foregoing
description of the assumed warrants is qualified in its entirety by reference to the amended warrant confirmations relating to the warrant transactions with each of the three counterparties, which are filed as Exhibits 10.1 through 10.6 to this
Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference.
Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation
under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
The information set forth under Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form
8-K is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
As described in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, which is incorporated herein by reference, on November 24, 2015,
Wright assumed the obligations under the warrants initially issued by WMGI on February 9 and 10, 2015. The assumed warrants are initially exercisable for an aggregate maximum of 21,122,256 ordinary shares of Wright with a strike price of
$38.8010 per share. The number of shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants and the strike price are subject to adjustment under certain circumstances described in the warrants confirmations. Wright offered and sold the warrants in reliance on
the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the Securities Act). Neither the warrants nor the underlying ordinary shares (issuable in the event the market price per ordinary share exceeds the strike price of the warrants on
the date the warrants are exercised) have been registered under the Securities Act. Neither the warrants nor such underlying ordinary shares may be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act.

W I T N E S S E T H
WHEREAS, the Company has heretofore executed and delivered to the Trustee an indenture, dated as of February 13, 2015, providing for the
issuance of $632,500,000 aggregate principal amount of 2% Cash Convertible Senior Notes due 2020 (the Indenture);
WHEREAS, Article 13 of the Indenture provides that within 90 days after the effective time of the Permitted Tornier Merger Transaction (the
Merger), the Guarantor shall fully and unconditionally guarantee, on a senior unsecured basis, the Companys obligations under the Indenture and the Notes on the terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture;
WHEREAS, the effective time of the Merger occurred on October 1, 2015 (the Merger Effective Time);
WHEREAS, prior to consummation of the Merger, the initial Conversion Rate for the Notes was 32.3939 shares of Common Stock per $1,000
principal amount of Notes (subject to adjustment as provided in Article 14 of the Indenture);
WHEREAS, in accordance with
Section 14.01 of the Indenture, upon the Merger Effective Time, the Conversion Rate is required to be adjusted to equal the product of (A) the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time multiplied by
(B) the sum of (x) the quotient of the amount of cash that a holder of one share of Common Stock was entitled to receive in the Merger, if any, divided by the average Daily VWAPs for each of the 10 consecutive Trading Days immediately
preceding the Merger Effective Time and (y) the number of Tornier Ordinary Shares that a holder of one share of Common Stock received in the Merger (subject to the other adjustments to the Conversion Rate as provided in Article 14 of the
Indenture);
WHEREAS, under the terms of the Merger, each share of Company common stock was converted into the right to receive 1.0309
Tornier Ordinary Shares;
WHEREAS, Section 14.07 of the Indenture provides that in connection with a Reorganization Event, the
Company or the successor or purchasing Person, as the case may be, shall execute with the Trustee a supplemental indenture permitted under Section 10.01(f) under the Indenture providing for the change in the right to convert each $1,000
principal amount of Notes resulting from the Merger and in accordance with the Indenture; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Sections 10.01 and
13.01 of the Indenture, the Trustee is authorized to execute and deliver this Supplemental Indenture.
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of
the foregoing and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties mutually covenant and agree for the equal and ratable benefit of the Holders of the Notes as follows:
(1) Capitalized Terms. Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.
1
(2) Guarantee. The Guarantor hereby fully and unconditionally guarantees the
Companys obligations under the Indenture and the Notes on a senior unsecured basis, hereby acknowledges and agrees that it has provided its Guarantee for good and valuable consideration and, subject to the provisions of Article 13 of the
Indenture, unconditionally guarantees the Guarantee Obligations, on a senior unsecured basis, to the Trustee and each Holder and their successors and assigns in accordance with the term of the Indenture, including Article 13, and the Notes.
(3) Waiver of Rights. Subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Article 13 of the Indenture, the Guarantor hereby waives and
relinquishes under the Indenture: (a) any right to require a Benefited Party to proceed against the Company or any other Person at any time before proceeding against the Guarantor; (b) any defense that may arise by reason of the
incapacity, lack of authority, death or disability of any other Person or Persons or the failure of a Benefited Party to file or enforce a claim against the estate (in administration, bankruptcy or any other proceeding) of any other Person or
Persons; (c) demand, protest and notice of any kind (except as expressly required by the Indenture), including but not limited to notice of the existence, creation or incurring of any new or additional indebtedness or obligation or of any
action or non-action on the part of the Guarantor, the Company, any Benefited Party, any creditor of the Guarantor or the Company or on the part of any other Person whomsoever in connection with any obligations the performance of which are hereby
guaranteed; (d) any defense based upon an election of remedies by a Benefited Party, including but not limited to an election to proceed against the Guarantor for reimbursement; (e) any defense based upon any statute or rule of law which
provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the principal and (f) any defense arising because of a Benefited Partys election, in any proceeding instituted
under Bankruptcy Law, of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code.
(4) Covenants. Subject to and in
accordance with the provisions of Article 13 of the Indenture, the Guarantor hereby covenants and agrees that the Guarantee shall not be discharged except by payment in full of all Guarantee Obligations, including the principal, premium, if any, and
interest and Additional Interest, if any, on the Notes and all other costs provided for under the Indenture or as provided in Article 7 of the Indenture or by release of the same in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture. Subject to and in
accordance with the provisions of Article 13 of the Indenture, the Guarantor hereby further agrees (i) that it shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the Holders in respect of any Guarantee Obligations hereby until
payment in full of all such obligations guaranteed hereby, (ii) as between it, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (x) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated for purposes of
the Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the Guarantee Obligations, and (y) in the event of any acceleration of such obligations, such Guarantee Obligations (whether or
not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantor for the purpose of the Guarantee and (iii) that the Guarantee Obligations of the Guarantor under Article 13 of the Indenture and this Supplemental Indenture shall be
limited to the maximum amount as shall, after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other contingent and fixed liabilities of the Guarantor that are relevant under such laws, result in the Guarantee Obligations of the Guarantor under the
Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance under applicable law or being void or voidable under any law relating to insolvency or debt. The Guarantor hereby further acknolwedges, agrees and confirms its obligations under Article
13 of the Indenture.
(5) Settlement Upon Conversion. From and after the Merger Effective Time, Holders of the Notes shall have the
right to convert the Notes (pursuant to, and subject to the conditions of, the Indenture) solely into cash at an initial conversion rate equal to 33.3949 Tornier Ordinary Shares per $1,000 principal amount of Notes (subject to adjustment as provided
in Article 14 of the Indenture). In
2
accordance with Section 14.07 of the Indenture and as set forth in the definition of Daily VWAP in the Indenture, from and after the Merger Effective Time, the Daily VWAP shall
be calculated by reference to the per share volume-weighted average price as displayed under the heading Bloomberg VWAP on Bloomberg page WMGI <equity> AQR (or its equivalent successor if such page is not available) in
respect of the period from the scheduled open of trading until the scheduled close of trading of the primary trading session on such Trading Day (or if such volume-weighted average price is unavailable, the market value of one share of the Tornier
Ordinary Shares on such Trading Day determined, using a volume-weighted average method, by a nationally recognized independent investment banking firm retained for this purpose by the Company). The Daily VWAP shall be determined without
regard to after-hours trading or any other trading outside of the regular trading session trading hours.
(6) Anti-dilution and other
adjustments. The anti-dilution adjustments provided for in Article 14 shall remain in full force and effect and, subject to and in accordance with the Indenture, unless the context requires otherwise, at and after the effective time of the
Merger references to the Common Stock shall be deemed to refer to Tornier Ordinary Shares. Except as expressly provided herein, all other provisions of the Indenture shall remain in full force and effect and this Supplemental Indenture shall be
deemed to be part of the terms and conditions of the Indenture for any all purposes.
(7) Governing Law. THIS SUPPLEMENTAL
INDENTURE, AND ANY CLAIM, CONTROVERSY OR DISPUTE ARISING UNDER OR RELATED TO THIS SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE, SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (INCLUDING TITLE 14 OF ARTICLE 5 OF THE GENERAL
OBLIGATIONS LAW OF NEW YORK).
(8) Counterparts. The parties may sign any number of copies of this Supplemental Indenture. Each
signed copy shall be an original, but all of them together represent the same agreement.
(9) Effect of Headings. The Section
headings herein are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.
(10) The Trustee. The Trustee shall not be
responsible in any manner whatsoever for or in respect of the validity or sufficiency of this Supplemental Indenture or for or in respect of the recitals contained herein, all of which recitals are made solely by the Company and the Guarantor. All
of the provisions contained in the Indenture in respect of the rights, privileges, protections, immunities, powers and duties of the Trustee shall be applicable in respect of this Supplemental Indenture as fully and with like force and effect as

The purpose of this Amendment to the Confirmation (this Amendment) is to amend
certain terms and conditions of the Transaction (as defined below). Reference is made to the letter agreement dated as of February 10, 2015 (the Confirmation, which is attached hereto as Exhibit A) that confirms the terms and
conditions of the Warrants issued by the Company to the Dealer as of the Trade Date, as amended hereby (the Transaction). Capitalized terms used herein but not defined herein shall have the meanings given to such terms in the
Confirmation; provided that if such meaning is amended thereby, such amended meaning shall apply.
On October 1, 2015, Company
and Wright Medical Group N.V. (which was previously known as Tornier N.V., the Parent) completed the Tornier Merger Transaction.
DEUTSCHE BANK AG, LONDON BRANCH IS NOT REGISTERED AS A BROKER DEALER UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934. DEUTSCHE BANK SECURITIES INC.
(DBSI) HAS ACTED SOLELY AS AGENT IN CONNECTION WITH THE TRANSACTION AND HAS NO OBLIGATION, BY WAY OF ISSUANCE, ENDORSEMENT, GUARANTEE OR OTHERWISE WITH RESPECT TO THE PERFORMANCE OF EITHER PARTY UNDER THE TRANSACTION. AS SUCH, ALL
DELIVERY OF FUNDS, ASSETS, NOTICES, DEMANDS AND COMMUNICATIONS OF ANY KIND RELATING TO THIS TRANSACTION BETWEEN DEUTSCHE BANK AG, LONDON BRANCH, AND COUNTERPARTY SHALL BE TRANSMITTED EXCLUSIVELY THROUGH DEUTSCHE BANK SECURITIES INC. DEUTSCHE BANK
AG, LONDON BRANCH IS NOT A MEMBER OF THE SECURITIES INVESTOR PROTECTION CORPORATION (SIPC).
In consideration of the premises and the
agreements, provisions and covenants contained in this Amendment, Company, Dealer and Parent hereby agree as follows:
1. |
Assignment and Assumption. |
|
(a) |
For an agreed consideration, the Company hereby assigns to the Parent, and the Parent hereby irrevocably assumes from the Company, as of the date hereof, all the obligations of Company under the Confirmation and all the
obligations of the Issuer (with the meaning of such term amended in accordance with Section 2(a) below) under the Confirmation, provided that the representations and warranties of the Company in Section 8 of the Confirmation
shall be replaced by the representations and warranties of the Parent in Section 3 of this Amendment. From and after the date hereof, Parent shall assume and succeed to the obligation of the Company to make due and punctual payment and delivery
of all payment and delivery obligations under the Confirmation and the performance and observation of every covenant or other obligation on the part of the Company and/or the Issuer to be performed or observed by it. |
|
(b) |
On or prior to the Currency Business Day immediately following the date hereof, the Dealer shall transfer to the Parent a cash amount in Euros (the
Par Value Payment) equal to the product of (i) a number of Shares equal to the Number of Warrants multiplied by the Warrant Entitlement, subject to any adjustments made to such numbers by the Calculation Agent on or prior to
the date of such payment, |
2
|
and (ii) the par value per Share as of such date. Such Par Value Payment shall constitute an advance payment for purposes of paying up the Shares issuable upon exercise of the
Warrants. Upon receipt, Parent shall reserve the Par Value Payment and apply the Par Value Payment against the obligation to pay-up the Shares upon exercise of the Warrants. To the extent that the Par Value Payment exceeds the aggregate nominal
value of the Shares issued upon exercise of the Warrants, then such excess shall be regarded as share premium. |
2. |
Adjustments to General Terms. |
The definition of Shares in the
Confirmation is replaced in its entirety with the following new definition:
The ordinary shares, par value 0.03 Euros per share, of
Wright Medical Group N.V. (Exchange symbol WMGI). As a result, for the avoidance of doubt, references to Issuer and to Company throughout this Confirmation refer to Wright Medical Group N.V.
3. |
Representations and Warranties. |
Parent hereby represents and warrants to Dealer
on the date hereof, and in the case of the representations in Section 3(a) below, at all times until termination of the Transaction that:
|
(a) |
Parent has all necessary corporate power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations in respect of the Transaction as amended by this Amendment; such execution, delivery and performance have been duly
authorized by all necessary corporate action on Parents part; and this Amendment has been duly and validly executed and delivered by Parent and constitutes its valid and binding obligation, enforceable against Parent in accordance with its
terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws affecting creditors rights and remedies generally, and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity,
including principles of commercial reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding at law or in equity) and except that rights to indemnification and contribution hereunder may be limited by
federal or state securities laws or public policy relating thereto. |
|
(b) |
Neither the execution and delivery of this Amendment nor the incurrence or performance of obligations of Parent hereunder will conflict with or result in a breach of the articles of association of Parent, or any
applicable law or regulation, or any order, writ, injunction or decree of any court or governmental authority or agency, or any agreement or instrument to which Parent or any of its subsidiaries is a party or by which Parent or any of its
subsidiaries is bound or to which Parent or any of its subsidiaries is subject, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation of any lien under, any such agreement or instrument. |
3
|
(c) |
No consent, approval, authorization, or order of, or filing with, any governmental agency or body or any court is required in connection with the execution, delivery or performance by Parent of this Amendment, except
such as have been obtained or made and such as may be required under the Securities Act or state securities laws or under the Dutch Act on Financial Supervision (Wet op het Financieel Toezicht). |
|
(d) |
The issuance of the number of Shares equal to the Maximum Number of Shares has been duly authorized and, upon payment in full of the Par Value Payment and otherwise as contemplated by the terms of the Warrants,
including Section 5 of the Amendment, following the exercise of the Warrants in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Warrants, will be validly issued, fully-paid, and the issuance of the Warrant Shares will not be subject to any
preemptive or similar rights and the Warrant Shares shall upon issuance be accepted for listing or quotation on the Exchange. |
|
(e) |
Parent 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) |
Parent is an eligible contract participant (as such term is defined in Section 1a(18) of the Commodity Exchange Act, as amended, other than a person that is an eligible contract participant under
Section 1a(18) (C) of the Commodity Exchange Act). |
|
(g) |
Parent and each of its affiliates are not, on the date hereof, in possession of any material non-public information with respect to Parent or the Shares. |
|
(h) |
No state or local (including any non-U.S. jurisdictions) law, rule, regulation or regulatory order applicable to the Shares would give rise to any reporting, consent, registration or other requirement (including
without limitation a requirement to obtain prior approval from any person or entity), except for the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act and rules promulgated thereunder, or, at and after the Tornier Merger Transaction, the reporting or
registration requirements of the Dutch Corporate Income Tax Act 1969 (Wet op de vennootschapsbelasting 1969), in each case, as a result of Dealer or its affiliates owning or holding (however defined) Shares. |
|
(i) |
Parent (A) is capable of evaluating investment risks independently, both in general and with regard to all transactions and investment strategies involving a security or securities; (B) will exercise
independent judgment in evaluating the recommendations of any broker-dealer or its associated persons, unless it has otherwise notified the broker-dealer in writing; and (C) has total assets of at least $50 million. |

Subject: |

Amendment to the Base Warrant Confirmation dated February 9, 2015 |
The purpose of this Amendment to the Confirmation (this Amendment) is to amend certain
terms and conditions of the Transaction (as defined below). Reference is made to the letter agreement dated as of February 9, 2015 (the Confirmation, which is attached hereto as Exhibit A) that confirms the terms and
conditions of the Warrants issued by the Company to the Dealer as of the Trade Date, as amended hereby (the Transaction). Capitalized terms used herein but not defined herein shall have the meanings given to such terms in the
Confirmation; provided that if such meaning is amended thereby, such amended meaning shall apply.
On October 1, 2015, Company
and Wright Medical Group N.V. (which was previously known as Tornier N.V., the Parent) completed the Tornier Merger Transaction.
1
In consideration of the premises and the agreements, provisions and covenants contained in this
Amendment, Company, Dealer and Parent hereby agree as follows:
1. |
Assignment and Assumption. |
|
(a) |
For an agreed consideration, the Company hereby assigns to the Parent, and the Parent hereby irrevocably assumes from the Company, as of the date hereof, all the obligations of Company under the Confirmation and all the
obligations of the Issuer (with the meaning of such term amended in accordance with Section 2(a) below) under the Confirmation, provided that the representations and warranties of the Company in Section 8 of the Confirmation
shall be replaced by the representations and warranties of the Parent in Section 3 of this Amendment. From and after the date hereof, Parent shall assume and succeed to the obligation of the Company to make due and punctual payment and delivery
of all payment and delivery obligations under the Confirmation and the performance and observation of every covenant or other obligation on the part of the Company and/or the Issuer to be performed or observed by it. |
|
(b) |
On or prior to the Currency Business Day immediately following the date hereof, the Dealer shall transfer to the Parent a cash amount in Euros (the Par Value Payment) equal to the product of
(i) a number of Shares equal to the Number of Warrants multiplied by the Warrant Entitlement, subject to any adjustments made to such numbers by the Calculation Agent on or prior to the date of such payment, and (ii) the par value per
Share as of such date. Such Par Value Payment shall constitute an advance payment for purposes of paying up the Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants. Upon receipt, Parent shall reserve the Par Value Payment and apply the Par Value
Payment against the obligation to pay-up the Shares upon exercise of the Warrants. To the extent that the Par Value Payment exceeds the aggregate nominal value of the Shares issued upon exercise of the Warrants, then such excess shall be regarded as
share premium. |
2. |
Adjustments to General Terms. |
The definition of Shares in the
Confirmation is replaced in its entirety with the following new definition:
The ordinary shares, par value 0.03 Euros per share, of
Wright Medical Group N.V. (Exchange symbol WMGI). As a result, for the avoidance of doubt, references to Issuer and to Company throughout this Confirmation refer to Wright Medical Group N.V.
3. |
Representations and Warranties. |
Parent hereby represents and warrants to Dealer
on the date hereof, and in the case of the representations in Section 3(a) below, at all times until termination of the Transaction that:

authorized by all necessary corporate action on Parents part; and this Amendment has been duly and validly executed and delivered by Parent and constitutes its valid and binding obligation, enforceable against Parent in accordance with its
terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws affecting creditors rights and remedies generally, and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity,
including principles of commercial reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding at law or in equity) and except that rights to indemnification and contribution hereunder may be limited by
federal or state securities laws or public policy relating thereto. |
|
(b) |
Neither the execution and delivery of this Amendment nor the incurrence or performance of obligations of Parent hereunder will conflict with or result in a breach of the articles of association of Parent, or any
applicable law or regulation, or any order, writ, injunction or decree of any court or governmental authority or agency, or any agreement or instrument to which Parent or any of its subsidiaries is a party or by which Parent or any of its
subsidiaries is bound or to which Parent or any of its subsidiaries is subject, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation of any lien under, any such agreement or instrument. |
|
(c) |
No consent, approval, authorization, or order of, or filing with, any governmental agency or body or any court is required in connection with the execution, delivery or performance by Parent of this Amendment, except
such as have been obtained or made and such as may be required under the Securities Act or state securities laws or under the Dutch Act on Financial Supervision (Wet op het Financieel Toezicht). |
|
(d) |
The issuance of the number of Shares equal to the Maximum Number of Shares has been duly authorized and, upon payment in full of the Par Value Payment and otherwise as contemplated by the terms of the Warrants,
including Section 5 of the Amendment, following the exercise of the Warrants in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Warrants, will be validly issued, fully-paid, and the issuance of the Warrant Shares will not be subject to any
preemptive rights and the Warrant Shares shall upon issuance be accepted for listing or quotation on the Exchange. |

amended. |

Section 1a(18) (C) of the Commodity Exchange Act). |
|
(g) |
Parent and each of its affiliates are not, on the date hereof, in possession of any material non-public information with respect to Parent or the Shares. |

(h) |

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. |

Unwind Shares (as defined below) as of such day exceeds a number of Shares equal to 90.0% of the Par Value Delivery Number, or (II) Company makes a public announcement of any transaction or event that, in the reasonable opinion of Dealer would, upon
consummation of such transaction or upon the occurrence of such event, as applicable, and after giving effect to any applicable adjustments hereunder, cause the Notional Unwind Shares immediately following the consummation of such transaction or the
occurrence of such event to exceed a number of Shares equal to 90.0% of the Par Value Delivery Number. The Notional Unwind Shares as of any day is a number of Shares equal to (1) the amount that would be payable pursuant to

Company were the sole Affected Party and the Transaction were the sole Affected Transaction), divided by (2) the Settlement Price (determined as if such day were a Valuation Date).

Dealers rights in respect of any transactions other than the Transaction..

Amendment to the Base Warrant Confirmation dated February 9, 2015 |
The purpose of this Amendment to the Confirmation (this Amendment) is to amend certain
terms and conditions of the Transaction (as defined below). Reference is made to the letter agreement dated as of February 9, 2015 (the Confirmation, which is attached hereto as Exhibit A) that confirms the terms and
conditions of the Warrants issued by the Company to the Dealer as of the Trade Date, as amended hereby (the Transaction). Capitalized terms used herein but not defined herein shall have the meanings given to such terms in the
Confirmation; provided that if such meaning is amended thereby, such amended meaning shall apply.
1
On October 1, 2015, Company and Wright Medical Group N.V. (which was previously known as
Tornier N.V., the Parent) completed the Tornier Merger Transaction.
In consideration of the premises and the
agreements, provisions and covenants contained in this Amendment, Company, Dealer and Parent hereby agree as follows:
1. |
Assignment and Assumption. |
|
(a) |
For an agreed consideration, the Company hereby assigns to the Parent, and the Parent hereby irrevocably assumes from the Company, as of the date hereof, all the obligations of Company under the Confirmation and all the
obligations of the Issuer (with the meaning of such term amended in accordance with Section 2(a) below) under the Confirmation, provided that the representations and warranties of the Company in Section 8 of the Confirmation
shall be replaced by the representations and warranties of the Parent in Section 3 of this Amendment. From and after the date hereof, Parent shall assume and succeed to the obligation of the Company to make due and punctual payment and delivery
of all payment and delivery obligations under the Confirmation and the performance and observation of every covenant or other obligation on the part of the Company and/or the Issuer to be performed or observed by it. |
|
(b) |
On or prior to the Currency Business Day immediately following the date hereof, the Dealer shall transfer to the Parent a cash amount in Euros (the Par Value Payment) equal to the product of
(i) a number of Shares equal to the Number of Warrants multiplied by the Warrant Entitlement, subject to any adjustments made to such numbers by the Calculation Agent on or prior to the date of such payment, and (ii) the par value per
Share as of such date. Such Par Value Payment shall constitute an advance payment for purposes of paying up the Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants. Upon receipt, Parent shall reserve the Par Value Payment and apply the Par Value
Payment against the obligation to pay-up the Shares upon exercise of the Warrants. To the extent that the Par Value Payment exceeds the aggregate nominal value of the Shares issued upon exercise of the Warrants, then such excess shall be regarded as
share premium. |
2. |
Adjustments to General Terms. |
The definition of Shares in the
Confirmation is replaced in its entirety with the following new definition:
The ordinary shares, par value 0.03 Euros per share, of
Wright Medical Group N.V. (Exchange symbol WMGI). As a result, for the avoidance of doubt, references to Issuer and to Company throughout this Confirmation refer to Wright Medical Group N.V.
3. |
Representations and Warranties. |
Parent hereby represents and warrants to Dealer
on the date hereof, and in the case of the representations in Section 3(a) below, at all times until termination of the Transaction that:

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 Amendment nor the incurrence or performance of obligations of Parent hereunder will conflict with or result in a breach of the articles of association of Parent, or any
applicable law or regulation, or any order, writ, injunction or decree of any court or governmental authority or agency, or any agreement or instrument to which Parent or any of its subsidiaries is a party or by which Parent or any of its
subsidiaries is bound or to which Parent or any of its subsidiaries is subject, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation of any lien under, any such agreement or instrument. |
|
(c) |
No consent, approval, authorization, or order of, or filing with, any governmental agency or body or any court is required in connection with the execution, delivery or performance by Parent of this Amendment, except

|
(d) |
The issuance of the number of Shares equal to the Maximum Number of Shares has been duly authorized and, upon payment in full of the Par Value Payment and otherwise as contemplated by the terms of the Warrants,
including Section 5 of the Amendment, following the exercise of the Warrants in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Warrants, will be validly issued, fully-paid, and the issuance of the Warrant Shares will not be subject to any

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. |

(ii) thereafter more than 8,940,373 less than the number of Shares included in the immediately preceding Repurchase Notice..
|
(b) |
Additional Termination Events. Section 9(h)(ii) of the Confirmation is hereby amended by inserting the following clause (J) at the end thereof: |
(J) On any day during the period from and including the date hereof, to and including the final Expiration Date, (I) the Notional
Unwind Shares (as defined below) as of such day exceeds a number of Shares equal to 90.0% of the Par Value Delivery Number, or (II) Company makes a public announcement of any transaction or event that, in the reasonable opinion of Dealer would, upon
consummation of such transaction or upon the occurrence of such event, as applicable, and after giving effect to any applicable adjustments hereunder, cause the Notional Unwind Shares immediately following the consummation of such transaction or the
occurrence of such event to exceed a number of
Shares equal to 90.0% of the Par Value Delivery Number. The Notional Unwind Shares as of any day is a number of Shares equal to (1) the amount that would be payable
pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement (determined as of such day as if an Early Termination Date had been designated in respect of the Transaction and as if the Company were the sole Affected Party and the Transaction were the sole Affected
Transaction), divided by (2) the Settlement Price (determined as if such day were a Valuation Date). Par Value Delivery Number means a number of Shares equal to (i) the Par Value Payment divided by (ii) the
par value per Share.

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
Dealers rights in respect of any transactions other than the Transaction..
|
(e) |
Non-Occurrence of Tornier Merger Transaction. Sections 9(aa) and 9(bb) of the Confirmation are hereby deleted in their entirety and replaced with [Reserved]. |
|

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

Event to the extent Issuer pays to Dealer an amount in EUR equal to the Relevant Excess Amount, if any, corresponding to such amendment.
5. |
Share Issue. Dealer acknowledges that to the extent (but solely to the extent) the issue of a Share hereunder would result in (i) the amount in EUR equal to the product of (x) the aggregate
number of Shares issued to Dealer pursuant hereto and (y) the par value per Share to exceed (ii) the aggregate amount in EUR paid to Parent in connection with the Transaction (whether pursuant to the Par Value Payment or otherwise paid to
Parent for purposes of paying up the aggregate par value of the Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, and whether on the date of issue or delivery of such Share or at such prior time as Dealer may elect), Parent will not be required to
issue such Share unless and until Dealer pays such amounts to the Parent as a payment (volstorting) on such Share as required to eliminate such excess or otherwise takes such steps (if any) as required under Dutch law to give effect to such
issue. If any issue and/or delivery owed to Dealer under the Transaction is not made, in whole or in part, as a result of this provision, Parents 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. |

Subject: |
|
Amendment to the Additional Warrant Confirmation dated February 10, 2015 |
The purpose of this Amendment to the Confirmation (this Amendment) is to amend certain
terms and conditions of the Transaction (as defined below). Reference is made to the letter agreement dated as of February 10, 2015 (the Confirmation, which is attached hereto as Exhibit A) that confirms the terms and
conditions of the Warrants issued by the Company to the Dealer as of the Trade Date, as amended hereby (the Transaction). Capitalized terms used herein but not defined herein shall have the meanings given to such terms in the
Confirmation; provided that if such meaning is amended thereby, such amended meaning shall apply.
On October 1, 2015, Company
and Wright Medical Group N.V. (which was previously known as Tornier N.V., the Parent) completed the Tornier Merger Transaction.
1
In consideration of the premises and the agreements, provisions and covenants contained in this
Amendment, Company, Dealer and Parent hereby agree as follows:
1. |
Assignment and Assumption. |
|
(a) |
For an agreed consideration, the Company hereby assigns to the Parent, and the Parent hereby irrevocably assumes from the Company, as of the date hereof, all the obligations of Company under the Confirmation and all the
obligations of the Issuer (with the meaning of such term amended in accordance with Section 2(a) below) under the Confirmation, provided that the representations and warranties of the Company in Section 8 of the Confirmation
shall be replaced by the representations and warranties of the Parent in Section 3 of this Amendment. From and after the date hereof, Parent shall assume and succeed to the obligation of the Company to make due and punctual payment and delivery
of all payment and delivery obligations under the Confirmation and the performance and observation of every covenant or other obligation on the part of the Company and/or the Issuer to be performed or observed by it. |
|
(b) |
On or prior to the Currency Business Day immediately following the date hereof, the Dealer shall transfer to the Parent a cash amount in Euros (the Par Value Payment) equal to the product of
(i) a number of Shares equal to the Number of Warrants multiplied by the Warrant Entitlement, subject to any adjustments made to such numbers by the Calculation Agent on or prior to the date of such payment, and (ii) the par value per
Share as of such date. Such Par Value Payment shall constitute an advance payment for purposes of paying up the Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants. Upon receipt, Parent shall reserve the Par Value Payment and apply the Par Value
Payment against the obligation to pay-up the Shares upon exercise of the Warrants. To the extent that the Par Value Payment exceeds the aggregate nominal value of the Shares issued upon exercise of the Warrants, then such excess shall be regarded as
share premium. |
2. |
Adjustments to General Terms. |
The definition of Shares in the
Confirmation is replaced in its entirety with the following new definition:
The ordinary shares, par value 0.03 Euros per share, of
Wright Medical Group N.V. (Exchange symbol WMGI). As a result, for the avoidance of doubt, references to Issuer and to Company throughout this Confirmation refer to Wright Medical Group N.V.
3. |

on the date hereof, and in the case of the representations in Section 3(a) below, at all times until termination of the Transaction that:

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 Amendment nor the incurrence or performance of obligations of Parent hereunder will conflict with or result in a breach of the articles of association of Parent, or any
applicable law or regulation, or any order, writ, injunction or decree of any court or governmental authority or agency, or any agreement or instrument to which Parent or any of its subsidiaries is a party or by which Parent or any of its
subsidiaries is bound or to which Parent or any of its subsidiaries is subject, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation of any lien under, any such agreement or instrument. |

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. |

acquired or otherwise received by Company or any of its subsidiaries after the Trade Date (whether or not in exchange for cash, fair value or any other consideration), provided that in no event shall Issuer transfer any Shares or Restricted
Shares to Dealer pursuant to this Section 9(p)(ii) to the extent that such transfer would cause the aggregate number of Shares and Restricted Shares transferred to Dealer to exceed the Maximum Number of Shares. Issuer shall immediately notify
Dealer of the occurrence of any of the foregoing events (including the number of Shares that are repurchased, acquired or otherwise received by Company or any of its subsidiaries after the Trade Date and the corresponding number of Shares or
Restricted Shares, as the case may be, to be transferred) and promptly transfer such Shares or Restricted Shares, as the case may be, thereafter.

Relevant Excess Amount Notice Obligation. Section 9(cc) of the Confirmation is replaced in its entirety with the following new Section 9(cc): |
(cc) Promptly following the public announcement by Issuer of a proposal to amend the Issuers articles of association in order to
increase the nominal value of the Shares, Issuer shall notify Dealer of such public announcement; provided, however, that Issuers failure to notify Dealer of such public announcement shall not constitute an Event of Default or Termination
Event to the extent Issuer pays to Dealer an amount in EUR equal to the Relevant Excess Amount, if any, corresponding to such amendment.
5. |
Share Issue. Dealer acknowledges that to the extent (but solely to the extent) the issue of a Share hereunder would result in (i) the amount in EUR equal to the product of (x) the aggregate
number of Shares issued to Dealer pursuant hereto and (y) the par value per Share to exceed (ii) the aggregate amount in EUR paid to Parent in connection with the Transaction (whether pursuant to the Par Value Payment or otherwise paid to
Parent for purposes of paying up the aggregate par value of the Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, and whether on the date of issue or delivery of such Share or at such prior time as Dealer may elect), Parent will not be required to
issue such Share unless and until Dealer pays such amounts to the Parent as a payment (volstorting) on such Share as required to eliminate such excess or otherwise takes such steps (if any) as required under Dutch law to give effect to such
issue. If any issue and/or delivery owed to Dealer under the Transaction is not made, in whole or in part, as a result of this provision, Parents obligation to make such issue and/or delivery shall not be extinguished and Parent shall make
such issue and delivery as promptly as practicable after, but in no event later than one Business Day after, Dealer (whether on or after the original date of issue and delivery of the relevant Share) pays such amounts to the Parent as a payment
(volstorting) on such Share as required under this provision to give effect to such issue or otherwise takes such steps (if any) as required under Dutch law to give effect to such issue. |
6. |

Subject: |
|
Amendment to the Additional Warrant Confirmation dated February 10, 2015 |
The purpose of this Amendment to the Confirmation (this Amendment) is to amend certain
terms and conditions of the Transaction (as defined below). Reference is made to the letter agreement dated as of February 10, 2015 (the Confirmation, which is attached hereto as Exhibit A) that confirms the terms and
conditions of the Warrants issued by the Company to the Dealer as of the Trade Date, as amended hereby (the Transaction). Capitalized terms used herein but not defined herein shall have the meanings given to such terms in the
Confirmation; provided that if such meaning is amended thereby, such amended meaning shall apply.
1
On October 1, 2015, Company and Wright Medical Group N.V. (which was previously known as
Tornier N.V., the Parent) completed the Tornier Merger Transaction.
In consideration of the premises and the
agreements, provisions and covenants contained in this Amendment, Company, Dealer and Parent hereby agree as follows:
1. |
Assignment and Assumption. |
|
(a) |
For an agreed consideration, the Company hereby assigns to the Parent, and the Parent hereby irrevocably assumes from the Company, as of the date hereof, all the obligations of Company under the Confirmation and all the
obligations of the Issuer (with the meaning of such term amended in accordance with Section 2(a) below) under the Confirmation, provided that the representations and warranties of the Company in Section 8 of the Confirmation
shall be replaced by the representations and warranties of the Parent in Section 3 of this Amendment. From and after the date hereof, Parent shall assume and succeed to the obligation of the Company to make due and punctual payment and delivery
of all payment and delivery obligations under the Confirmation and the performance and observation of every covenant or other obligation on the part of the Company and/or the Issuer to be performed or observed by it. |
|
(b) |
On or prior to the Currency Business Day immediately following the date hereof, the Dealer shall transfer to the Parent a cash amount in Euros (the Par Value Payment) equal to the product of
(i) a number of Shares equal to the Number of Warrants multiplied by the Warrant Entitlement, subject to any adjustments made to such numbers by the Calculation Agent on or prior to the date of such payment, and (ii) the par value per
Share as of such date. Such Par Value Payment shall constitute an advance payment for purposes of paying up the Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants. Upon receipt, Parent shall reserve the Par Value Payment and apply the Par Value
Payment against the obligation to pay-up the Shares upon exercise of the Warrants. To the extent that the Par Value Payment exceeds the aggregate nominal value of the Shares issued upon exercise of the Warrants, then such excess shall be regarded as
share premium. |
2. |
Adjustments to General Terms. |
The definition of Shares in the
Confirmation is replaced in its entirety with the following new definition:
The ordinary shares, par value 0.03 Euros per share, of
Wright Medical Group N.V. (Exchange symbol WMGI). As a result, for the avoidance of doubt, references to Issuer and to Company throughout this Confirmation refer to Wright Medical Group N.V.
3. |
Representations and Warranties. |
Parent hereby represents and warrants to Dealer
on the date hereof, and in the case of the representations in Section 3(a) below, at all times until termination of the Transaction that:
|

Parent has all necessary corporate power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations in respect of the Transaction as amended by this Amendment; such execution, delivery and performance have been duly
authorized by all necessary corporate action on Parents part; and this Amendment has been duly and validly executed and delivered by Parent and constitutes its valid and binding obligation, enforceable against Parent in accordance with its
terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws affecting creditors rights and remedies generally, and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity,
including principles of commercial reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding at law or in equity) and except that rights to indemnification and contribution hereunder may be limited by
federal or state securities laws or public policy relating thereto. |
|
(b) |
Neither the execution and delivery of this Amendment nor the incurrence or performance of obligations of Parent hereunder will conflict with or result in a breach of the articles of association of Parent, or any
applicable law or regulation, or any order, writ, injunction or decree of any court or governmental authority or agency, or any agreement or instrument to which Parent or any of its subsidiaries is a party or by which Parent or any of its
subsidiaries is bound or to which Parent or any of its subsidiaries is subject, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation of any lien under, any such agreement or instrument. |
|
(c) |
No consent, approval, authorization, or order of, or filing with, any governmental agency or body or any court is required in connection with the execution, delivery or performance by Parent of this Amendment, except
such as have been obtained or made and such as may be required under the Securities Act or state securities laws or under the Dutch Act on Financial Supervision (Wet op het Financieel Toezicht). |
|
(d) |
The issuance of the number of Shares equal to the Maximum Number of Shares has been duly authorized and, upon payment in full of the Par Value Payment and otherwise as contemplated by the terms of the Warrants,
including Section 5 of the Amendment, following the exercise of the Warrants in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Warrants, will be validly issued, fully-paid, and the issuance of the Warrant Shares will not be subject to any
preemptive rights and the Warrant Shares shall upon issuance be accepted for listing or quotation on the Exchange. |

amended. |

Section 1a(18) (C) of the Commodity Exchange Act). |
|
(g) |
Parent and each of its affiliates are not, on the date hereof, in possession of any material non-public information with respect to Parent or the Shares. |
|
(h) |
No state or local (including any non-U.S. jurisdictions) law, rule, regulation or regulatory order applicable to the Shares would give rise to any reporting, consent, registration or other requirement (including
without limitation a requirement to obtain prior approval from any person or entity), except for the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act and rules promulgated thereunder, or, at and after the Tornier Merger Transaction, the reporting or
registration requirements of the Dutch Corporate Income Tax Act 1969 (Wet op de vennootschapsbelasting 1969), in each case, as a result of Dealer or its affiliates owning or holding (however defined) Shares. |
|
(i) |
Parent (A) is capable of evaluating investment risks independently, both in general and with regard to all transactions and investment strategies involving a security or securities; (B) will exercise
independent judgment in evaluating the recommendations of any broker-dealer or its associated persons, unless it has otherwise notified the broker-dealer in writing; and (C) has total assets of at least $50 million. |

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 91,496,699 (in the case of the first such notice) or
(ii) thereafter more than 8,940,373 less than the number of Shares included in the immediately preceding Repurchase Notice..
|
(b) |
Additional Termination Events. Section 9(h)(ii) of the Confirmation is hereby amended by inserting the following clause (J) at the end thereof: |
(J) On any day during the period from and including the date hereof, to and including the final Expiration Date, (I) the Notional
Unwind Shares (as defined below) as of such day exceeds a number of Shares equal to 90.0% of the Par Value Delivery Number, or (II) Company makes a public announcement of any transaction or event that, in the reasonable opinion of Dealer would, upon
consummation of such transaction or upon the occurrence of such event, as applicable, and after giving effect to any applicable adjustments hereunder, cause the Notional Unwind Shares immediately following the consummation of such transaction or the
occurrence of such event to exceed a number of
Shares equal to 90.0% of the Par Value Delivery Number. The Notional Unwind Shares as of any day is a number of Shares equal to (1) the amount that would be payable
pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement (determined as of such day as if an Early Termination Date had been designated in respect of the Transaction and as if the Company were the sole Affected Party and the Transaction were the sole Affected
Transaction), divided by (2) the Settlement Price (determined as if such day were a Valuation Date). Par Value Delivery Number means a number of Shares equal to (i) the Par Value Payment divided by (ii) the
par value per Share.

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
Dealers rights in respect of any transactions other than the Transaction..
|
(e) |
Non-Occurrence of Tornier Merger Transaction. Sections 9(aa) and 9(bb) of the Confirmation are hereby deleted in their entirety and replaced with [Reserved]. |
|

transfer, from time to time, Shares or Restricted Shares, as the case may be, to Dealer until the full number of Deficit Shares have been transferred pursuant to this Section 9(p)(ii), when, and to the extent that Shares are repurchased,
acquired or otherwise received by Company or any of its subsidiaries after the Trade Date (whether or not in exchange for cash, fair value or any other consideration), provided that in no event shall Issuer transfer any Shares or Restricted

Shares that are repurchased, acquired or otherwise received by Company or any of its subsidiaries after the Trade Date and the corresponding number of Shares or Restricted Shares, as the case may be, to be transferred) and promptly transfer such

Parent for purposes of paying up the aggregate par value of the Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, and whether on the date of issue or delivery of such Share or at such prior time as Dealer may elect), Parent will not be required to
