THIS NOTE HEDGE UNWIND AGREEMENT (this “Unwind Agreement”) is made as of December 16, 2011, between SonoSite, Inc.
(“Counterparty”), and JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association, London Branch (“Dealer”). 

WITNESSETH: 

WHEREAS, Counterparty initially issued $200,000,000 principal amount of 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2014 (the “Convertible
Notes”) pursuant to an Indenture dated July 16, 2007, as supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture dated July 16, 2007, each between Counterparty and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee; 

WHEREAS, concurrently with the pricing of the Convertible Notes, Counterparty and Dealer entered into a call option transaction (the
“Note Hedge Transaction”) pursuant to an ISDA confirmation dated as of July 11, 2007, which supplements, forms a part of, and is subject to an agreement in the form of the 2002 ISDA Master Agreement, pursuant to which
Counterparty purchased from Dealer 200,000 call options (as amended, modified, terminated or unwound, the “Note Hedge Confirmation”); 
 WHEREAS, on July 11, 2007 Counterparty and Dealer entered into a warrants transaction (the “Warrants Transaction”) pursuant to an ISDA confirmation dated as of July 11, 2007, which
supplements, forms a part of, and is subject to an agreement in the form of the 2002 ISDA Master Agreement, pursuant to which Dealer purchased from Counterparty 2,500,000 warrants (as amended, modified, terminated or unwound, the “Warrants
Confirmation”) and, concurrently with this Unwind Agreement, Counterparty and Dealer entered into a Warrants Unwind Agreement (the “Warrants Unwind Agreement”) pursuant to which Counterparty and Dealer agreed to terminate,
cancel and extinguish the Warrants Transaction and Warrants Confirmation upon the terms and conditions set forth therein; 

WHEREAS, Counterparty and FUJIFILM Holdings Corporation (“Purchaser”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger
(without giving effect to any subsequent modifications, amendments or waivers, other than any modifications, amendments or waivers that do not adversely affect the rights of Dealer under this Unwind Agreement or the Warrants Unwind Agreement, the
“Merger Agreement”) dated as of December 15, 2011, pursuant to which, and upon the terms and subject to the conditions thereof, Salmon Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware corporation and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of
Purchaser (“Merger Sub”) will commence a cash tender offer (the “Tender Offer”) for all of the outstanding shares of Counterparty common stock and following consummation of the Tender Offer, Merger Sub will merge
with Counterparty and each outstanding share of Counterparty common stock will thereupon be cancelled and converted into the right to receive $54.00 per share, net to the seller in cash, less any applicable withholding taxes; and 

WHEREAS, the Merger (as such term is defined in the Merger Agreement) is conditioned upon the completion of the Tender Offer by Purchaser
to purchase at least 50.1% of the outstanding shares of the common stock, $0.01 par value per share, of Counterparty (the “Shares”) at a price of $54.00 per Share pursuant to an Offer to Purchase filed concurrently with the
commencement of the Tender Offer. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained, Counterparty and
Dealer, intending to be legally bound, mutually covenant and agree as follows: 
 Section 1. Definitions.
Capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Note Hedge Confirmation. 
 Section 2. Unwind of the Note Hedge Transaction. 
  

	 	(a)	Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Note Hedge Confirmation, Counterparty and Dealer agree that as of the Unwind Date (as such term is defined in the
Warrants Unwind Agreement), the Note Hedge Transaction and Note Hedge Confirmation, and all rights and obligations of Counterparty and Dealer thereunder, shall be terminated, cancelled and extinguished (the “Unwind”) and thereafter,
except as set forth in the immediately following sentence, no additional payments or deliveries shall be due to or from either Dealer or Counterparty pursuant to the terms of the Note Hedge Transaction and Note Hedge Confirmation. In connection
with the Unwind, on the Unwind Date, upon receipt by Dealer of the Warrants Unwind Payment (as such term is defined in the Warrants Unwind Agreement), Dealer shall make a cash payment to Counterparty in aggregate amount equal to $197.522 (the
“Per Option Payment Amount”), multiplied by the Number of Options as of the Unwind Date. The Per Option Payment Amount is equal to (x) the Option Entitlement as of the date of this Unwind Agreement multiplied by (y)
the excess, if any, of the amount of cash per Share received by holders of the Shares in the Merger pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement over the Strike Price as of the date of this Unwind Agreement. If, and to the extent, the Option
Entitlement or the Strike Price are subject to adjustment pursuant to the terms of the Note Hedge Confirmation prior to the Unwind Date, the Per Option Payment Amount shall be subject to a corresponding adjustment in a manner consistent with the
immediately preceding sentence. For the avoidance of doubt, the “Number of Options,” as such term is used in this paragraph shall not include any Options previously exercised by Counterparty prior to the Unwind Date pursuant to the terms
of the Note Hedge Transaction and Note Hedge Confirmation or any Exercisable Options with respect to which Dealer has received a Notice of Exercise prior to the Unwind Date. 









	 	(b)	Each of Counterparty and Dealer hereby agrees that prior to the Unwind Date, the Note Hedge Transaction and Note Hedge Confirmation shall continue and remain in full
force and effect and Counterparty and Dealer shall retain their respective rights and obligations thereunder. Each of Counterparty and Dealer hereby further agrees that if the Merger is not consummated on the terms and conditions set forth in the
Merger Agreement, this Unwind Agreement shall be of no force or effect, and the Note Hedge Transaction and Note Hedge Confirmation shall continue and remain in full force and effect. 


Section 3. Representations and Warranties. 
  

	 	(a)	Each party represents to the other party that: 

  

	 	(i)	It is duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization or incorporation and, if relevant under such laws, in good standing.

and any other documentation relating to this Unwind Agreement that it is required by this Unwind Agreement to deliver and to perform its obligations under this Unwind Agreement and has taken all necessary action to authorize such execution, delivery
and performance. 

  

	 	(iii)	Such execution, delivery and performance do not violate or conflict with any law applicable to it, any provision of its constitutional documents, any order or judgment
of any court or other agency of government applicable to it or any of its assets or any contractual restriction binding on or affecting it or any of its assets. 


 

	 	(iv)	All governmental and other consents that are required to have been obtained by it with respect to this Unwind Agreement have been obtained and are in full force and
effect and all conditions of any such consents have been complied with.

applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject, as to enforceability, to equitable principles of general application (regardless of whether enforcement is sought
in a proceeding in equity or at law)). 

  

	 	(b)	Counterparty represents and warrants to Dealer that, as of the date hereof, Counterparty is not aware of any material non-public information with respect to the Shares.


 Section 4. No Reliance, etc. Each of Counterparty and Dealer hereby confirms that it has relied on
the advice of its own counsel and other advisors (to the extent it deems appropriate) with respect to any legal, tax, accounting, or regulatory consequences of this Unwind Agreement, that it has not relied on the other party or such other
party’s affiliates in any respect in connection therewith, and that it will not hold the other party or such other party’s affiliates accountable for any such consequences. 

Section 5. Waiver of Trial by Jury. EACH OF COUNTERPARTY AND DEALER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES (ON ITS OWN BEHALF AND, TO
THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ON BEHALF OF ITS STOCKHOLDERS) ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS UNWIND AGREEMENT OR THE
ACTIONS OF COUNTERPARTY OR ITS AFFILIATES OR DEALER OR ITS AFFILIATES IN THE NEGOTIATION, PERFORMANCE OR ENFORCEMENT HEREOF.
