Exhibit 10.2

FOURTH AMENDMENT TO GUARANTEE AND COLLATERAL AGREEMENT

FOURTH AMENDMENT, dated as of January 4, 2016 (this “Amendment”), to the
Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, dated as of August 28, 2002 (as amended,
modified or supplemented from time to time, the “Guarantee and Collateral
Agreement”), made by each of the signatories thereto (together with any other
entity that may become a party thereto as provided therein, the “Grantors”), in
favor of JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent (in such capacity,
the “Administrative Agent”) for the banks and other financial institutions or
entities (the “Lenders”) from time to time parties to the Fifth Amended and
Restated Credit Agreement (as hereinafter defined).

WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution of this Amendment, CONMED Corporation
(the “Parent Borrower”), the Foreign Subsidiary Borrower party thereto, the
Lenders and the Administrative Agent are entering into an Fifth Amended and
Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of January 4, 2016 (as amended, supplemented
or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Fifth Amended and Restated Credit
Agreement”).

WHEREAS, (i) pursuant to the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, the Grantors
(other than the Parent Borrower) have guaranteed the Borrower Obligations with
respect to the Parent Borrower, (ii) the Parent Borrower has guaranteed the
Borrower Obligations with respect to the Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers and
(iii) as collateral security for their respective obligations under the Loan
Documents, the Grantors have granted to the Administrative Agent a security
interest in the Collateral described in the Security Documents; and

WHEREAS, it is a condition precedent to the obligation of the Lenders to
continue or make any extensions of credit to the Borrowers under the Fifth
Amended and Restated Credit Agreement that the parties hereto shall have
executed and delivered this Amendment;

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the agreements hereinafter
set forth, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

SECTION 1. DEFINED TERMS. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise
defined shall have the meanings given to them in the Fifth Amended and Restated
Credit Agreement or the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, as applicable.

SECTION 2. AMENDMENTS.

2.1 Amendments to Section 1 of the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement.

(a) The definition of “Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers” shall be amended by
replacing the reference to Section 2.22 of the Credit Agreement with a reference
to Section 2.25 of the Credit Agreement.

(b) The definition of “Borrower Obligations” shall be amended by inserting the
following immediately prior to the “.” at the end thereof:

provided, however, that for purposes of determining any Guarantor Obligations of
any Guarantor under this Agreement, the definition of “Borrower Obligations”
shall not create any guarantee by any Guarantor of any Excluded Swap Obligations
of such Guarantor

(c) The following definition shall be inserted into Section 1 in appropriate
alphabetical order:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“Qualified Keepwell Provider”: in respect of any Swap Obligation, each Guarantor
that, at all times during the Swap Guarantee Eligibility Period, has total
assets exceeding $10,000,000 or otherwise constitutes an “eligible contract
participant” under the Commodity Exchange Act or any regulations promulgated
thereunder and can cause another person to qualify as an “eligible contract
participant” with respect to such Swap Obligation at such time by entering into
a keepwell or guarantee pursuant to Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity
Exchange Act.

(d) The following definition shall be inserted into Section 1 in appropriate
alphabetical order:

“Swap Guarantee Eligibility Period”: with respect to a guarantor and the
relevant Swap Obligation, the period from and including the date on which the
relevant guarantee (or grant of the relevant security interest, as applicable)
becomes effective with respect to such Swap Obligation until the date on which
such guarantee (or grant of the relevant security interest, if applicable) is no
longer in effect. For the avoidance of doubt, the Swap Guarantee Eligibility
Period shall commence on the date of the execution of a Swap if the
corresponding guarantee (or grant of security interest, as applicable) is then
in effect, otherwise it shall commerce on the date of execution and delivery of
the relevant guarantee (or grant of security interest, as applicable) unless the
guarantee (or relevant collateral agreement or pledge documentation, as
applicable) specifies a subsequent effective date.

2.2 Amendments to Section 2 of the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement.

(a) Section 2.1 shall be amended by inserting “(other than, with respect to any
Guarantor, any Excluded Swap Obligations of such Guarantor)” immediately prior
to the “.” at the end thereof.

(b) The following new Section 2.8 shall be inserted into Section 2:

2.8 Keepwell. Each Qualified Keepwell Provider hereby jointly and severally
absolutely, unconditionally, and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or
other support as may be needed from time to time by each other Guarantor for
such Guarantor to qualify as an “eligible contract participant” under the
Commodity Exchange Act or any regulations promulgated thereunder at any time
during the Swap Guarantee Eligibility Period in respect of any Swap Obligation
(provided, however, that each Qualified Keepwell Provider shall only be liable
under this Section 2.8 for the maximum amount of such liability that can be
hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this Section 2.8, or
otherwise under any relevant guarantee, voidable under applicable law relating
to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater
amount). The obligations of each Qualified Keepwell Provider under this
Section 2.8 shall remain in full force and effect until such time as the Loans,
the Reimbursement Obligations and the other Obligations (other than Obligations
in respect of Swap Agreements) shall have been paid in full, the Commitments
have been terminated and no Letters of Credit shall be outstanding. Each
Qualified Keepwell Provider intends that this Section 2.8 constitute, and this
Section 2.8 shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other
agreement” for the benefit of each other Guarantor for all purposes of section
1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.

2.3 Amendments to Section 6 of the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement.

(a) Section 6.5 shall be amended by inserting the following sentence at the end
thereof:

 

2

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding the foregoing, no amounts received
from any Guarantor shall be applied to any Excluded Swap Obligations of such
Guarantor.

2.4 Amendments to Section 8 of the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement.

(a) Section 8.6 shall be amended by inserting the following immediately prior to
the “.” at the end of the second sentence thereof:

; provided, further, that, for the avoidance of doubt, to the extent prohibited
by applicable law as described in the definition of “Excluded Swap Obligation,”
no amounts received from, or set off with respect to, any Guarantor shall be
applied to any Excluded Swap Obligations of such Guarantor.

SECTION 3. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT AND REAFFIRMATION.

3.1 Acknowledgment of Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. Each of the
Grantors hereby acknowledges and consents to the Fifth Amended and Restated
Credit Agreement, and further acknowledges and agrees that the Obligations under
the Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement may be increased and that the
Obligations thereunder and under the other Loan Documents remain in full force
and effect as of the date hereof. Each Grantor hereby agrees that each reference
to the “Credit Agreement” in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement and the
other Loan Documents shall be deemed to be a reference to the Fifth Amended and
Restated Credit Agreement. Each Grantor hereby (a) confirms and agrees that its
liabilities under the Loan Documents are, and shall continue to be, in full
force and effect and are hereby confirmed and ratified in all respects;
(b) confirms and acknowledges that it is validly and justly indebted to the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders for the payment of all of the obligations
which it has guaranteed, without offset, defense, cause of action or
counterclaim of any kind or nature whatsoever; (c) reaffirms and admits the
validity and enforceability of the Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement,
the Loan Documents to which it is a party and Liens in the Collateral which were
granted by it pursuant to any of the Loan Documents or otherwise and
(d) confirms such liens have the same perfected status and priority as existed
immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Fifth Amended and Restated Credit
Agreement, after giving effect to the amendment and restatement of the Previous
Credit Agreement.

SECTION 4. MISCELLANEOUS.

4.1 Conditions to Effectiveness. This Amendment shall become effective on the
date (the “Amendment Effective Date”) on which the Administrative Agent shall
have received this Amendment, executed and delivered by itself under the
Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, and a duly authorized officer of each of the

4.2 Representation and Warranties. After giving effect to the amendments
contained herein, on the Amendment Effective Date, each Grantor hereby confirms
that the representations and warranties set forth in Section 4 of the Guarantee
and Collateral Agreement are true and correct in all material respects and that
no Default or Event of Default (as each of these terms are defined in the Fifth
Amended and Restated Credit Agreement) shall have occurred and be continuing as
of the Amendment Effective Date after giving effect to this Amendment.

4.3 Continuing Effect; No Other Waivers or Amendments. This Amendment shall not
constitute an amendment or waiver of or consent to any provision of the
Guarantee and Collateral Agreement and the other Loan Documents not expressly
referred to herein and shall not be construed as an amendment, waiver or consent
to any action on the part of the Borrowers that would require an amendment,
waiver or consent of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders except as expressly
stated herein. Except as expressly amended hereby, the provisions of the
Guarantee and Collateral Agreement and the other Loan Documents are and shall
remain in full force and effect in accordance with their terms.
