EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

     This Employment Agreement (this “Agreement”), is made and entered into this 2nd day of April,
2009, by and between Wright Medical Technology, Inc. (the “Company”), a corporation organized and

act, was in the best interests of the Company.

ninety (90) days pending a determination of whether there is a basis to terminate the Executive for
Cause shall not constitute a Good Reason.

               1.15.4. Following a Change in Control, the Executive’s determination that an act or

provided, however, that except as provided in the last paragraph of Section 6 hereof, a termination of the Executive’s
employment by reason of the Executive’s retirement on or after age [65] prior to a Change in
Control shall not constitute an Involuntary Termination hereunder. In addition, an Involuntary
Termination that would cause an amount to be paid to an Executive which is non-qualified deferred
compensation subject to Code Section 409A, shall also mean an Executive’s “separation from service”
within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code.

be assigned to him from time to time by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) in
connection with the conduct of the Company’s business.

     4. Extent of Services. The Executive shall devote his entire time, attention, and
energies to the business of the Company and shall not, without the written approval of the Company,
during the term of this Agreement be engaged in any other business activity, regardless of whether
such activity is pursued for gain, profit or other pecuniary advantage; provided, however, that
this requirement shall not be construed as preventing the Executive from (a) investing his personal
assets in businesses which do not compete with the Company in such form
or manner as will not require any services on the part of the Executive in the operation of
the affairs of the companies in which such investments are made and in which his participation is
solely that of an investor, or (b) purchasing securities in any corporation engaged in a business
competitive to that of the Company whose securities are regularly traded on the Nasdaq Stock
Market, a national or regional stock exchange, or the over-the-counter market, provided that such
purchase shall not result in his collectively owning beneficially at any one time one percent (1%)
or more of the equity securities of such corporation. Nothing in this Section 4 shall prevent the
Executive from serving on the board of directors of any other company, so long as the Board has
provided written approval of each directorship held by the Executive.

     5. Compensation Matters.

          5.1. Base Salary. For services rendered under this Agreement, the Company shall pay
the Executive a base annualized salary of $510,000 (the “Base Salary”), which shall be payable
(after deduction of applicable payroll taxes) in accordance with the Company’s customary payroll
practices in effect from time to time. Part of this base pay is attributable to the Executive’s
agreement to provide an 18 month notice period of any intent to leave the Company or retire from
the Company.

          5.2. Incentive Bonus. During the Executive’s employment hereunder, in addition to the
Base Salary, the Executive shall be eligible to receive an annual performance incentive bonus (an
“Incentive Bonus”) in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of the Company’s
Executive Performance Incentive Plan, as the same may be amended from time to time (the “Incentive
Plan”). The Executive’s entitlement to receive an Incentive Bonus for any calendar year will
depend on whether, and to what extent, certain performance goals established for such year by the
Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Committee”) have been achieved. The Incentive Bonus, if
any, payable to the Executive for any calendar year shall not exceed two (2) times the Base Salary
earned by the Executive in such year. The Committee shall determine in good faith the Executive’s
entitlement to an Incentive Bonus based on the achievement of such performance goals as soon as
reasonably practicable after the end of each calendar year. The Company shall pay the Incentive
Bonus, if any, to the Executive within ten (10) days after the Committee makes such determination
and in any event not later than March 15 of the year following the calendar year in which the
services upon which the Incentive Bonus is based were performed.

          5.3. Equity Incentive Plan Awards. The Executive shall be eligible to receive stock
options and other awards granted by the Committee from time to time under the Company’s 1999 and
2009 Equity Incentive Plans, as the same may be amended from time to time (the “Equity Plan”). Any
such grant of stock options or other awards under the Equity Plan shall be made in accordance with
and subject to the terms of the Equity Plan and any agreement pursuant to which such stock options
or other awards are granted.

          5.4. Fringe Benefits. The Executive shall be eligible to receive, and to participate
in programs for, such fringe benefits (including, without limitation, medical insurance and
retirement benefits) as the Company may make available generally to its executive officers from
time to time during the term of this Agreement. The Executive shall be responsible for making any
generally applicable employee contributions required under such fringe benefit programs.

          5.5. Annual Compensation Review. The Committee shall review the Executive’s
compensation at least once per year and shall make any increase to the Base Salary or award any
bonus to the Executive that the Committee, in its sole and absolute discretion, determines is
merited based upon the Executive’s performance and is consistent with the Company’s compensation
policies. The Company shall pay any bonus to the Executive not later than March 15 of the year
following the year in which the services upon which the bonus in based were performed.

     6. Sick Leave and Vacation. During the term of this Agreement, the Executive shall be
entitled to annual vacation of at least four (4) weeks, or such greater time period if permitted by
Company policy, to be taken at his discretion in a manner consistent with his obligations to the
Company under this Agreement. The actual dates of such vacation periods shall be agreed upon
through mutual discussions between the Company and the Executive;
provided, however, that the Company shall have the ultimate decision with respect to the
actual vacation dates to be taken by the Executive, which decision shall not be unreasonable. The
Executive also shall be entitled to sick leave consistent with Company policy.

     7. Expenses. During the term of this Agreement, the Company shall reimburse the
Executive for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Executive in connection with
the business of the Company and in performance of his duties under this Agreement upon the
Executive’s presentation to the Company of an itemized accounting of such expenses with reasonable
supporting data.

     8. Term. The Term of this Agreement shall be as follows:

          8.1. The Executive’s employment by the Company under this Agreement shall commence on the
Effective Date and shall expire on the third anniversary of the Effective Date (the “Expiration
Date”). Notwithstanding the foregoing but subject to Sections 8.2 and 9 below, the Company, in its
sole and absolute discretion, may terminate the Executive’s employment and the Company’s
obligations hereunder.

          8.2. Any separation from employment with the Company shall be governed by this Agreement,
provided, however, that the Executive specifically agrees to provide 18 months notice of
Executive’s intent to leave the Company or retire from the Company.

          8.3. The term of this Agreement shall commence from the Effective Date and shall continue
until the third (3rd) anniversary of the Effective Date; provided, however, that commencing on the
second (2nd) anniversary of the Effective Date (and each anniversary of the Effective Date
thereafter), the term of this Agreement shall automatically be extended for one (1) additional
year, unless at least ninety (90) days prior to such date, the Company or the Executive shall give
written notice to the other party that it or he, as the case may be, does not wish to so extend
this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company gives such written notice to the
Executive less than one (1) year after a Change in Control, the term of this Agreement shall be
automatically extended until the later of (a) the date that is one (1) year after the anniversary
of the Effective Date that follows such written notice or (b) the second (2nd) anniversary of the
Change in Control Date.

     9. Termination and Certain Effects of Termination.

          9.1. Notice and Date of Termination.

               9.1.1. Any termination of the Executive’s employment by the Company or by the Executive
shall
be communicated by a written notice of termination to the other party (the “Notice of
Termination”). Where applicable, the Notice of Termination shall indicate the specific termination
provision in this Agreement relied upon and shall set forth in reasonable detail the facts and
circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of the Executive’s employment under the
provision so indicated. Unless the Board determines otherwise, a Notice of Termination by the
Executive alleging a termination for Good Reason must be made within 90 days of the initial
instance, or the initial instance which should reasonably have been known to the Executive, of an
act or failure to act that the Executive alleges to constitute Good Reason.

               9.1.2. The date of the Executive’s termination of employment with the Company (the
“Date of
Termination”) shall be determined as follows:

                    9.1.2.1. If due to Company terminating the Executive’s
employment, either with or without
Cause, the Date of Termination shall be the date specified in the Notice of Termination; if for
other than Cause, the Date of Termination shall not be less than two (2) weeks from the date such
Notice of Termination is given, unless the Company elects to pay the Executive for that period in
lieu of notice.

                    9.1.2.2. If due to death, the Date of Termination is the date
of death.

                    9.1.2.3. If the basis of the Executive’s Involuntary
Termination is the Executive’s
resignation for Good Reason, the Date of Termination shall be determined by the Company, but shall
not be less than two (2) weeks nor more than eight (8) weeks form the date such Notice of
Termination is given.

                    9.1.2.4. Notwithstanding anything contained herein, this
Agreement shall automatically
terminate and be of no further force and effect and no benefits shall be payable hereunder in the
event that the Company sells or otherwise disposes of any part of the business or assets of the
Company (other than such a sale or disposition which is part of a transaction or series of
transactions which would result in a Change in Control) and as a result of such transaction, the
Executive is offered employment by the buyer of such business or assets (the “Buyer”) in an
executive position with reasonably comparable status, compensation, benefits and employment

agreement and which is consistent with the Executive’s experience and education, but the
Executive declines to accept such offer.

          9.2. Termination from the Board and any Offices Held. Upon termination of the
Executive’s employment for any reason, the Executive agrees the Executive’s membership on the Board
of the Company, the board of directors of any of the Company’s Affiliates, any committees of the
Board, any committees of the board of directors of any of the Company’s Affiliates and any and all
offices held, if applicable, shall be automatically terminated. Executive hereby agrees to
cooperate with the Company and execute any documents reasonably required by the Company or
competent authorities to effect this provision.

          9.3. Severance Benefits upon Involuntary Termination Prior to Change in Control.
Except as provided in Sections 9.4 and 16 hereof, in the event of the Involuntary Termination of
the Executive prior to a Change in Control, the Company shall pay to the Executive the following
Pre-Change in Control Severance Payment in the following amounts and manner:

               9.3.1. The total payment will be equal to the product of twenty-four (24) months (the
“Total
Number of Months”) multiplied by 1.75 times monthly base pay.

               9.3.2. The payment will be made as follows: (i) half in a lump sum payable at or within
a
reasonable period of time after the Date of Termination and (ii) subject to receipt of an executed
Release that has not been revoked, the remaining half in installments starting six (6) months after
the Date of Termination with a final installment of all remaining amounts to be paid on or before
March 15 of the calendar year following the year in which the Date of Termination occurred. The
amount of each installment payment described in clause (ii) of the preceding sentence will be
determined by dividing half of the total payment by 50% of the Total Number of Months. The final
installment will be equal to the total payment reduced by all the amounts previously paid (i.e.,
the lump sum payment and the sum of all the installment payments previously paid). Notwithstanding
the provisions of clause (ii) to the contrary, if the six month period would cause the installments
to begin to be paid after the March 15 date described in the first sentence of this section 9.32,
then no installments will be paid, and the second payment will be a lump sum equal to half the
total payment and that payment will be paid on or before March 15 of the calendar year following
the year in which the Date of Termination occurred. The installment payments (or the second lump
sum payment, if applicable) are specifically designated as consideration for execution of the
Release required in Section 12 and compliance with Executive’s covenants outlined in Section 12.
All payments will have applicable taxes withheld and any installment payments will be paid at the
same time as the normal Company payroll.

               9.3.3. In addition to the Pre-Change in Control Severance Payment, the Executive shall be
entitled to receive the following additional benefits:

                    9.3.3.1. Accrued Obligations. The Company shall
pay to the Executive a lump sum
amount in cash equal to the sum of (i) the Executive’s annual base salary through the Date of
Termination
to the extent not theretofore paid, (ii) an amount equal to any annual cash Incentive
Compensation Awards earned (based on performance for the prior incentive period, whether that
period is the prior quarter or the prior calendar year), but not yet paid, (iii) an amount equal
to the value of any accrued and/or untaken vacation, if any, and (iv) reimbursement for
unreimbursed business expenses, if any, properly incurred by the Executive in the performance of
the Executive’s duties in accordance with the policies established from time to time by the Board.
(The amounts specified in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) shall be hereinafter referred to as the
“Pre-Change in Control Accrued Obligations”.)

                    9.3.3.2. Equity Based Compensation. All
equity-based Incentive Compensation Awards
(including, without limitation, stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards,
restricted stock units, performance share awards or other related awards) held by the Executive
shall be governed by the terms of the applicable Incentive Compensation Plan and Incentive
Compensation Award agreement, and this Agreement shall have no effect upon them.

in Control. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 9.3 above, in the event of the
Involuntary
Termination of the Executive within twelve (12) months following a Change in Control, the
Company shall pay to the Executive the following Post-Change in Control Severance Payment in the
following amounts and manner:

               9.4.1. The total payment will be equal to twenty-four (24) months multiplied by 1.75

of the calendar year following the year in which the Date of Termination occurred. The amount of
each installment payment described in clause (ii) of the preceding sentence will be determined by
dividing half of the total payment by 50% of the Total Number of Months. The final installment
will be equal to the total payment reduced by all the amounts previously paid (i.e., the lump sum
payment and the sum of all the installment payments previously paid). Notwithstanding the
provisions of clause (ii) to the contrary, if the six month period would cause the installments to
begin to be paid after the March 15 date described in the first sentence of this section 9.4, then

payment and that payment will be paid on or before March 15 of the calendar

year following the year in which the Date of Termination occurred. The installment payments
(or the second lump sum payment, if applicable) are specifically designated as consideration for

in Section 13. All payments will have applicable taxes withheld and any installment payments will
be paid at the same time as the normal Company payroll.

               9.4.3. In addition to the Post-Change in Control Severance Payment, the Executive shall be
entitled to receive the following additional benefits:

                    9.4.3.1. Accrued Obligations. The Company shall
pay to the Executive a lump sum
amount in cash equal to the sum of (i) the Executive’s annual base salary through the Date of

equity-based Incentive Compensation Awards
(including, without limitation, stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards,
restricted stock units, performance share awards or other related awards) held by the Executive

eligible for health and dental coverage as provided for under COBRA, using the normal COBRA

                    9.4.3.4. Outplacement Benefits. The Executive
shall receive outplacement assistance
and services following the Date of Termination for a period of months equal to the Total Number of
Months. These services will be provided by a national firm whose primary business is outplacement

                    9.4.3.8. Attorney’s Fees in Defense of This
Agreement. Notwithstanding any provision
in this Agreement, the Company shall pay all reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses for the
Executive if the Executive must engage an attorney in order to enforce this Agreement. The Company
will make payments on at least a quarterly basis based on billings presented by the Executive from
his or her legal counsel.

               9.4.4. Notwithstanding anything contained herein, if a Change in Control occurs and the
Executive’s employment with the Company is terminated by reason of Involuntary Termination prior to
the Change in Control Date, and if such termination of employment (i) was at the request of a third
party who has taken steps reasonably calculated to effect the Change in Control or (ii) otherwise
arose in connection with or in anticipation of the Change in Control, then the Executive shall, in
lieu of the payments described in Section 9.3 hereof, be entitled to the Post-Change in Control
Severance Payment and the additional benefits described in this Section 9.4 as if such Involuntary
Termination had occurred within twelve (12) months following the Change in Control.

          9.5. Severance Benefits upon Termination by the Company for Cause or by the Executive
Other than for Good Reason. If the Executive’s employment shall be terminated for Cause, or if
the Executive terminates employment other than for Good Reason, the Company will have no further
obligations to the Executive under this Agreement other than the Pre-Change in Control Accrued
Obligations and any amounts described in Section 10 hereof.

          9.6. Severance Benefits upon Termination due to Death. If the Executive’s employment
shall terminate by reason of death, the Company shall pay the Executive’s estate the Post-Change in
Control Accrued Obligations and any amounts or benefits described in Section 10 herein. Such
payments shall be in addition to those rights and benefits to which the Executive’s estate may be
entitled under the relevant Company plans or programs.

          9.7. Certain Additional Payments by the Company.

               9.7.1. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding and except as set forth
below in this Section 9 or as otherwise provided in Section 17.3, in the event it shall be
determined that any payment or distribution in the nature of compensation (within the meaning of Section
280G(b)(2) of the Code) to or for the benefit of the Executive, whether paid or payable pursuant to
this Agreement or otherwise (the “Payment”) would be subject (in whole or in part) to the excise
tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, together with any interest or penalties imposed with
respect to such excise tax (collectively, the “Excise Tax”), then the Executive shall be entitled
to receive an additional payment (the ‘Gross-Up Payment”) in an amount that, after payment by the
Executive of all taxes (and any interest or penalties imposed with respect to such taxes),
including, without limitation, any income taxes (and any interest and penalties imposed with
respect to such taxes) and Excise Tax imposed upon the Gross-Up Payment, the Executive retains an
amount of the Gross-Up Payment equal to the Excise Tax imposed upon the Payment. The Company’s
obligation to make the Gross-Up Payment under this Section 9 shall not be conditioned upon the
Executive’s termination of employment. For purposes of determining the amount of any Gross-Up
Payment, the Executive shall be deemed to pay federal income tax at the highest marginal rate of
federal income taxation in the calendar year in which the Gross-Up Payment is to be made, and any
state and local income taxes at the highest marginal tax rate in the state and locality of the
Executive’s residence on the date of the Gross-Up Payment is calculated for the purposes of this
Section 9.7, net of the maximum reduction in federal income taxes which could be obtained from
deduction of such state and local taxes, and taking into consideration the phase-out of the
Executive’s itemized deductions under federal income tax law.

               9.7.2. Subject to the provisions of Section 9.7.3 below, all determinations required to
be
made under this Section 9, including whether and when a Gross-Up Payment is required, the amount of
such Gross-Up Payment and the assumptions to be utilized in arriving at such determination, shall
be made by a nationally recognized accounting firm as may be agreed by the Company and the
Executive (the “Accounting Firm”); provided, that the Accounting Firm’s determination shall be made
based upon “substantial authority” within the meaning of Section 6662 of the Code. The Accounting
Firm shall provide detailed supporting calculations to both the Company and the Executive within
fifteen (15) days of the receipt of notice from the Executive that there

has been a Payment or such earlier time as is requested by the Company. All fees and expenses
of the Accounting Firm shall be borne solely by the Company. Any Gross-Up Payment, as determined
pursuant to this Section 9.7, shall be paid by the Company to the Executive within fifteen (15)
days of the receipt of the Accounting Firm’s determination. Any determination by the Accounting
Firm shall be binding upon the Company and the Executive. As a result of the uncertainty in the
application of Section 4999 of the Code at the time of the initial determination by the Accounting
Firm hereunder, it is possible that Gross-Up Payments that will not have been made by the Company
should have been made (the “Underpayment”) consistent with the calculations required to be made
hereunder. In the event the Company exhausts its remedies pursuant to Section 9.7.3 below and the
Executive thereafter is required to make a payment of any Excise Tax, the Accounting Firm shall
determine the amount of the Underpayment that has occurred, and any such Underpayment shall be
promptly paid by the Company to or for the benefit of the Executive.

               9.7.3. The Executive shall notify the Company in writing of any claim by the Internal Revenue
Service that, if successful, would require the payment by the Company of the Gross-Up Payment.
Such notification shall be given as soon as practicable, but no later than ten (10) business days
after the Executive is informed in writing of such claim. The Executive shall apprise the Company
of the nature of such claim and the date on which such claim is requested to be paid. The
Executive shall not pay such claim prior to the expiration of the thirty (30) day period following
the date on which the Executive gives such notice to the Company (or such shorter period ending on
the date that any payment of taxes with respect to such claim is due). If the Company desires to
contest such claim, the Executive shall:

                    9.7.3.1. give the Company any information reasonably requested
by the Company relating to such
claim,

                    9.7.3.2. take such action in connection with contesting such
claim as the Company shall
reasonably request in writing from time to time, including, without limitation, accepting legal
representation with respect to such claim by an attorney reasonably selected by the Company,

                    9.7.3.3. cooperate with the Company in good faith in order
effectively to contest such claim,
and

                    9.7.3.4. permit the Company to participate in any proceedings
relating to such claim;
provided, however, that the Company shall bear and pay directly all costs and expenses (including
additional interest and penalties) incurred in connection with such contest, and shall indemnify
and hold the Executive harmless, on an after-tax basis, for any Excise Tax, income tax or any other
taxes (including interest and penalties) imposed as a result of such representation and payment of
costs and expenses. Without limitation on the foregoing provisions of this Section 9.7.3.4, the
Company shall control all proceedings taken in connection with such contest, and, at its sole
discretion, may pursue or forgo any and all administrative appeals, proceedings, hearings and
conferences with the applicable taxing authority in respect of such claim and may, at its sole
discretion, either direct the Executive to pay the tax claimed or sue for a refund or contest the
claim in any permissible manner, and the Executive agrees to prosecute such contest to a
determination before any administrative tribunal, in a court of initial jurisdiction and in one or
more appellate courts, as the Company shall determine; provided, however, that if the Company
directs the Executive to pay such claim and sue for a refund, the Company shall advance the amount
of such payment to the Executive, on an interest-free basis, and shall indemnify and hold the
Executive harmless, on an after-tax basis, from any Excise Tax, income tax or any other taxes
(including interest or penalties) imposed with respect to any such advance or with respect to any
imputed income in connection with such advance; and provided, further, that any extension of the
statute of limitations relating to payment of taxes for the taxable year of the Executive with
respect to which such contested amount is claimed to be due is limited to such contested amount.
Furthermore, the Company’s control of the contest shall be limited to issues with respect to which
the Gross-Up Payment would be payable hereunder, and the Executive shall be entitled to settle or
contest, as the case may be, any other issue raised by the Internal Revenue Service or any other
taxing authority.

               9.7.4. If, after the receipt by the Executive of a Gross-Up Payment or an amount advanced by
the Company pursuant to Section 9.7.3 above, the Executive becomes entitled to receive any refund

with respect to the Excise Tax to which such Gross-Up Payment relates or with respect to such
claim, the Executive shall (subject to the Company’s complying with Section 9.7.3 above, if
applicable) promptly pay to the Company the amount of such refund (together with any interest paid
or credited thereon after taxes applicable thereto). If, after the receipt by the Executive of an
amount advanced by the Company pursuant to Section 9.7.3 above, a determination is made that the
Executive shall not be entitled to any refund with respect to such claim and the Company does not
notify the Executive in writing of its intent to contest such denial of refund prior to the
expiration of thirty (30) days after such determination, then such advance shall be forgiven and
shall not be required to be repaid, and the amount of such advance shall offset, to the extent
thereof, the amount of the Gross-Up Payment required to be paid.

               9.7.5. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 9.7, the Company may, in its
sole
discretion, withhold and pay over to the Internal Revenue Service or any other applicable taxing
authority, for benefit of the Executive, all or any portion of any Gross-Up Payment, and the
Executive hereby consents to such withholding. If such payment is made by the Company to the
Internal Revenue Service or other applicable taxing authority, then the Executive shall not be
entitled to payment pursuant to Section 9.7.2 above.

               9.7.6. Any other liability for unpaid or unwithheld Excise Tax shall be borne exclusively by
the Company, in accordance with Section 3403 of the Code. The foregoing sentence shall not relieve
the Company of any of its obligations under this Agreement.

          9.8. Nonexclusivity of Rights. Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or limit the
Executive’s continuing or future participation in any benefit plan, program, policy or practice
provided by the Company and for which the Executive may qualify (except with respect to any benefit
to which the Executive has waived the Executive’s rights in writing), including, without
limitation, any and all indemnification arrangements in favor of the Executive (whether under
agreements or under the Company’s charter documents or otherwise), and insurance policies covering
the Executive, nor shall anything herein limit or otherwise affect such rights as the Executive may
have under any other contract or agreement entered into after the Effective Date with the Company.
Amounts which are vested benefits or which the Executive is otherwise entitled to receive under any
benefit, plan, policy, practice or program of, or any contract or agreement entered into with, the
Company shall be payable in accordance with such
benefit, plan, policy, practice or program or contract or agreement except as explicitly
modified by this Agreement. At all times during the Executive’s employment with the Company and
thereafter, the Company shall provide the Executive with indemnification and director and officer
insurance insuring the Executive against insurable events which occur or have occurred while the
Executive was a director or executive officer of the Company, on terms and conditions that are at
least as generous as that then provided to any other current or former director or executive
officer of the Company or any Affiliate.

     10. Full Settlement; Mitigation. The Company’s obligation to make the payments
provided for in this Agreement and otherwise to perform the obligations hereunder shall not be
affected by any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other claim, right or action which
the Company may have against the Executive or others, provided that nothing herein shall preclude
the Company from separately pursuing recovery from the Executive based on any such claim. In no
event shall the Executive be obligated to seek other employment or take any other action by way of
mitigation of the amounts (including amounts for damages for breach) payable to the Executive under
any of the provisions of this Agreement, and such amounts shall not be reduced whether or not the
Executive obtains other employment.

     11. Representations. The Executive hereby represents to the Company that the
Executive is legally entitled to enter into this Agreement and to perform the Executive’s
obligations hereunder, and that the Executive has the full right, power and authority, subject to
no rights of any third parties, to grant to the Company the rights contemplated in Section 12.2.

     12. Executive’s Covenants. The Executive hereby agrees to the following:

          12.1. Confidentiality. The Executive recognizes and acknowledges that the Company’s
and its predecessor’s Confidential Information is a valuable, special and unique asset of the

access to and knowledge of which are essential to the performance of the Executive’s duties.
Confidential Information shall include trade secrets and includes information acquired by the
Executive in the course and scope of the Executive’s job with the Company, including information
acquired from third parties, that is (i) not generally known or disseminated outside the Company
(such as nonpublic information), (ii) is designated or marked by the Company as “confidential” or
reasonably should be considered confidential or proprietary, or (iii) the Company indicates through
its policies, procedures or other instructions should not be disclosed to anyone outside the
Company. Without limiting the foregoing definitions, some examples of Confidential Information

engineering secrets, “know-how”, formulae, secret processes, inventions, and research and
development plans or projects regarding existing and prospective customers, and products and
services, (b) information about costs, profits, markets, sales, customer lists, customer needs,
customer preferences and customer purchasing histories, supplier lists, internal financial data,
personnel evaluations, nonpublic information about medical devices or products of the Company
(including future plans about them), information and material provided by third parties in
confidence and/or with nondisclosure restrictions, computer access passwords, and internal market
studies or surveys and (c) any other information or matters of a similar nature. The Executive
shall not, during or after the Executive’s employment by the Company, in whole or in part, disclose
such Confidential Information to any person, firm, corporation, association or other entity for any
reason or purpose whatsoever, nor shall the Executive make use of any such property for the
Executive’s own purposes or for the benefit of any person firm, corporation, association or other
entity (except the Company) under any circumstances during or after the Executive’s employment by
the Company; provided, however, that after the Executive’s employment by the Company ceases these
restrictions shall not apply to such Confidential Information, if any, which are then in the public
domain, and provided further that the Executive was not responsible, directly or indirectly, for
such Confidential Information entering the public domain without the Company’s consent.

          12.2. Inventions. The Executive hereby sells, transfers and assigns to the Company
or to any person or entity designated by the Company all of the right, title and interest of the
Executive in and to all inventions, ideas, disclosures and improvements, whether patented or unpatented, and
copyrightable material, made or conceived by the Executive, solely or jointly, during the
Executive’s employment by the Company or any of its predecessors which relate to methods,
apparatus, designs, products, processes or devices sold, leased, used or under consideration or
development by the Company or any of its predecessors, or which otherwise relate to or pertain to
the business, functions or operations of the Company or any of its predecessors, or which arise
from the efforts of the Executive during the Executive’s employment with the Company or any of its
predecessors. The Executive shall, during and after the Executive’s employment with the Company,
communicate promptly and disclose to the Company, in such form as the Company requests, all
information, details and data pertaining to the aforementioned inventions, ideas, disclosures and
improvements. The Executive shall, during and after the Executive’s employment by the Company,
execute and deliver to the Company such formal transfers and assignments and such other papers and
documents as may be necessary by the Company to file and prosecute the patent applications and, as
to copyrightable material, to obtain copyright thereof. Any invention relating to the business of
the Company and disclosed by the Executive within one (1) year after the Executive’s employment
with the Company ceases shall be deemed to fall within the provisions of this Section 12.2 unless
proved to have been first conceived and made following such termination or expiration.

          12.3. Non-Solicitation of Employees. The Executive recognizes that the Executive
possesses and will possess confidential information about other employees of the Company and its
Affiliates relating to their education, experience, skills, abilities, compensation and benefits,
and inter-personal relationships with customer of the Company and its Affiliates. The Executive
recognizes that the information the Executive possesses and will possess about these other
employees is not generally known, is of substantial value to the Company and its Affiliates in
developing their business and in securing and retaining customers, and has been and will be
acquired by the Executive because of the Executive’s business position with the Company and its
Affiliates. The Executive agrees that at all times during the Executive’s employment with the
Company and for a period equal to the Executive’s Total Number of Months thereafter, the Executive
will not, directly or indirectly, solicit or recruit any employee of the Company or its Affiliates
for the purpose of being employed by the Executive or by any competitor of the Company or its
Affiliates on whose behalf the Executive is acting as an agent, representative or employee and that
the Executive will not convey such confidential information or trade secrets about other employees

and its Affiliates to any other Person; provided, however, that it shall not constitute a
solicitation or recruitment of employment in violation of paragraph to discuss employment
opportunities with any employee of the Company or its Affiliates who has either first contacted the
Executive or regarding whose employment the Executive has discussed with and received the written
approval of the Company’s Vice President, Human Resources (or, if such position is vacant, the
Company’s then Chief Executive Officer), prior to making such solicitation or recruitment. In view
of the nature of the Executive’s employment with the Company, the Executive likewise agrees that
the Company and its Affiliates would be irreparably harmed by any such solicitation or recruitment
in violation of the terms of this paragraph and that the Company and its Affiliates shall therefore
be entitled to preliminary and/or permanent injunctive relief prohibiting the Executive from
engaging in any activity or threatened activity in violation of the terms of this paragraph and to
any other relief available to them.

          12.4. Non-Interference and Non-competition. During the Executive’s employment by the
Company and its Affiliates and for a period of months equal to the Executive’s Total Number of
Months after such employment ceases, the Executive shall not, directly or indirectly (whether as an
officer, director, owner, employee, partner, or other participant), engage in any Competitive
Business. During this period, the Executive shall not solicit or entice any agent, supplier,
consultant, distributor, contractor, lessors or lessees of the Company or its Affiliates to make
any changes whatsoever in their current relationships with the Company or its Affiliates, and will
not assist any other Person or entity to interfere with or dispute such relationship. In view of
the nature of the Executive’s employment with the Company, the Executive likewise agrees that the
Company and its Affiliates would be irreparably harmed by any such interference or competitive
actions in violation of the terms of this paragraph and that the Company and its Affiliates shall
therefore be entitled to preliminary and/or permanent injunctive relief
prohibiting the Executive from engaging in any activity or threatened activity in violation of
the terms of this paragraph and to any other relief available to them.

          12.5. Release. The Executive and the Company agree that if the Executive’s employment
is terminated for any reason other than Cause or death, the Executive and the Company will execute
a release (the “Release”) of all claims substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A
within forty-five (45) days after the applicable Date of Termination and does not revoke such
Release in accordance to the terms thereof. The Executive recognizes and agrees that
notwithstanding any other section to the contrary, this executed Release is required to be made
prior to any payments of any kind under this Agreement. Furthermore, in the event that the
Executive is covered under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (“ADEA”), the Executive agrees
to execute the ADEA Release of all ADEA claims substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit
B as provided in the ADEA Release.

          12.6. Cooperation with Legal Matters. Executive agrees to cooperate with the Company
and its designated attorneys, representatives and agents in connection with any actual or
threatened judicial, administrative or other legal or equitable proceeding in which the Company is
or may become involved. Upon reasonable notice, Executive agrees to meet with and provide to the
Company or its designated attorneys, representatives or agents all information and knowledge
Executive may have relating to the subject matter of any such proceeding. The Company agrees to
reimburse Executive for any reasonable costs incurred by Executive in providing such cooperation.

     13. Specific Remedies for Executive Breach of the Covenants as outlined in Section 12.
Without limiting the rights and remedies available to the Company, and notwithstanding the rights
of the Executive set forth in Section 11, in the event of any breach by the Executive of the
covenants set forth in Section 13 above, the following actions may be taken by the Company:

          13.1. if the Company believes a breach has occurred, it will deliver to the Executive a
summary of the breach and a demand for explanation or agreement that such breach has occurred; the
Executive shall have twenty (20) business days to respond in writing to this demand, whereupon the
Company will make a decision as to whether the breach has, in fact, occurred; if it is determined
such a breach has occurred, then

          13.2. the Company’s obligation to make any payment or provide any benefits to the Executive
under Sections 9.3, 9.4, 9.5, 9.6, and 9.7 of this Agreement shall cease immediately and
permanently, which shall

not have any impact whatsoever on the Executive’s continuing obligations
under Sections 13.3 and 13.4 below, except, however, the benefits outlined in Sections 9.3.3.8 and
9.4.3.8 will continue to be provided;

          13.3. the Executive shall repay to the Company, within ten (10) days after the Executive
receives written demand therefore, an amount equal to ninety percent (90%) of the payments and
benefits previously received by the Executive under this Agreement, plus interest on such amount at
an annual rate equal to the lesser of ten percent (10%) or the maximum non-usurious rate under
applicable law, from the dates on which such payments and benefits were received to the date of
repayment to the Company; and

          13.4. the Executive shall pay to the Company from time to time, within ten (10) days after the
Executive receives written demand therefore, an amount or amounts equal to the reasonable costs and
expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses) incurred by or on behalf of the
Company in enforcing this Section 13 from and after the date on which the Company delivers notice
of such breach to the Executive.

          13.5. It is the desire and intent of the parties that the provisions of this Section 13 be
enforced to the fullest extent permissible under the applicable laws in each jurisdiction in which
enforcement is sought. Accordingly, if any portion of this Section 13 is adjudicated to be invalid
or unenforceable, this Section 13 shall be deemed curtailed, whether as to time or location, to the
minimum extent required for its validity under applicable law and shall be binding and enforceable
with respect to the Executive as so curtailed, such curtailment to apply only with respect to the
operation of this Section 13 in the jurisdiction in which the such adjudication is made. If a
court in any jurisdiction, in adjudicating the validity of this Section 13, imposes any additional
terms or restrictions with respect to this Section 13, this Section 13 shall be deemed amended to
incorporate such additional terms or restrictions.

          13.6. Executive agrees and acknowledges that Executive has received good and adequate
consideration for the covenants set forth in this Section 13 in the form of employment,
compensation and benefits separate and independent of any payments or potential payments in this
Agreement.

     14. Potential Impact of Accounting Restatements on Certain Bonuses and Profits.

          14.1. If the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement of the Company’s
consolidated balance sheet or statement of operations affecting any reporting period that
transpires during the term of this Agreement due to the material noncompliance of the Company with
any financial requirements under the securities laws, the Company’s Board will be entitled to
determine whether the noncompliance was the result of knowing, intentional, fraudulent or illegal
conduct by the Executive, and if it so determines, to require the Executive to reimburse the
Company for (i) any bonus or other incentive-based or equity-based compensation received by the
Executive from the Company during the term of this Agreement and (ii) any profits realized from the
sale of securities of the issuer by the Executive during the term of this Agreement.

          14.2. In making the determination whether to seek reimbursement from Executive, the Board will
consider whether any bonus, incentive payment, equity award, or other compensation has been awarded
or received by the Executive during the term of this Agreement and whether such compensation was
based on any financial results or operating metrics that were satisfied as a result of the
Executive’s knowing, intentional, fraudulent or illegal conduct. The Board has sole discretion in
determining whether the Executive’s conduct has or has not met the standard of such forfeiture.

          14.3. If the Board determines that a forfeiture is appropriate, such amounts shall be withheld
from any future amounts owed to the Executive as compensation. The Company may commence legal
action to collect such sums as the Board determines is owed to the Company.

     15. Successors.

          15.1. Assignment by the Executive. This Agreement is personal to the Executive and
without the prior written consent of the Company shall not be assignable by the Executive otherwise
than by will or

the laws of descent and distribution. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of
and be enforceable by the Executive’s legal representatives.

          15.2. Successors and Assigns of the Company. This Agreement shall inure to the
benefit of and be binding upon the Company, its successors and assigns. The Company may not assign
this Agreement to any person or entity (except for a successor described in Section 15.3 below)
without the Executive’s written consent.

          15.3. Assumption. The Company shall require any successor (whether direct or
indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the
business and/or assets of the Company to assume expressly and agree to perform this Agreement in
the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no such
succession had taken place. As used in this Agreement, “Company” shall mean the Company as
hereinbefore defined and any successor to its business and/or assets as aforesaid that assumes and
agrees to perform this Agreement by operation of law or otherwise.

     16. Administration Prior to Change in Control. Prior to a Change in Control, the
Compensation Committee shall have full and complete authority to construe and interpret the
provisions of this Agreement, to determine an individual’s entitlement to benefits under this
Agreement, to make in its sole and absolute discretion all determinations contemplated under this
Agreement, to investigate and make factual determinations necessary or advisable to administer or
implement this Agreement. All determinations made under this Agreement by the Compensation
Committee shall be final and binding on all interested persons. Prior to a Change in Control, the
Compensation Committee may delegate responsibilities for the operation and administration of this
Agreement to one or more officers or employees of the Company. The provisions of this Section 16
shall terminate and be of no further force and effect upon the occurrence of a Change in Control.

     17. Delayed Commencement of Certain Payments.

          17.1. Any payment due hereunder that is not considered non-qualified deferred compensation and
is not subject to Section 409A of the Code shall be paid no later than March 15 of the calendar
year following the year in which the Executive’s Date of Termination occurs provided that all other
payment conditions, including the execution of an unrevoked Release, are met.

          17.2. Not withstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the parties intend
that this Agreement be construed and applied in a manner that will conform its provisions with the
requirements for exemption from Section 409A of the Code or, if and to the extent payments are
subject to Section 409A of the Code, to conform to Section 409A of the Code in order to avoid the
imposition of additional federal income tax pursuant to Section 409A of the Code. Without limiting
the foregoing, in the event that the Executive is a “specified employee” within the contemplation
of Section 409A(a)(2)(B) of the Code at the time that any payment that is subject to Section 409A
of the Code is made on account of the Executive’s Involuntary Termination (specifically defined to
include the Executive’s separation from service with the Company and its Affiliates within the
contemplation of Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(i) of the Code), then in no event shall such payment or the
commencement thereof be made before the six-month anniversary of the Date of Termination or, if
earlier, the date of the Executive’s post-separation death.

          17.3. Any reimbursement payment made under this Agreement that is considered non-qualified
deferred compensation within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code shall be made within the
timing requirements of Treasury Regulation Sections 1.409A-3(i)(iv) and (v), as applicable.

     18. Miscellaneous.

          18.1. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, construed under and
enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Tennessee without regard to conflicts-of-laws
principles that would require the application of any other law. The captions of this Agreement are
not part of the provisions hereof and shall have no force or effect.

          18.2. Amendment. This Agreement may not be amended, modified, repealed, waived,
extended or discharged except by an agreement in writing of both parties. No person, other than
pursuant to a resolution of the Board or the Compensation Committee, shall have authority on behalf
of the Company to agree to amend, modify, repeal, waive, extend or discharge any provision of this
Agreement or anything in reference thereto.

          18.3. Assignment. This Agreement may be assigned, without the consent of the
Executive, by the Company to any person, partnership, corporation, association or other entity
which has purchased all or substantially all the assets of the Company, provided that such assignee
assumes all the liabilities of the Company hereunder.

          18.4. Insurance. The Company may, at its election and for its benefit, insure the
Executive against accidental loss or death, and the Executive shall submit to such physical
examination and supply such information to the insurance company as may be required in connection
therewith; provided, however, that no detailed information concerning the Executive’s physical
examination will be provided to the Company or made available to the Company by the insurance
company.

          18.5. Waiver of Breach. A waiver by the Company or the Executive of a breach of any
provision of this Agreement by the other party shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any
subsequent breach of the other party.

          18.6. Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this
Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement.

          18.7. Notices. Any notice required or permitted to be given under this Agreement shall
be sufficient in writing and if sent by certified mail or express delivery to the Executive at
10047 French Springs Road, Lakeland, TN 38002, or to the Company at Wright Medical Technology,
Inc., Attention: General Counsel, 5677
Airline Road, Arlington, Tennessee 38002, or to such other address as either party shall
notify the other. Notices and communications shall be effective when actually received by the
addressee.

          18.8. Taxes. The Company may withhold from any amounts payable under this Agreement
such federal, state or local taxes as shall be required to be withheld pursuant to any applicable
law or regulation.

          18.9. Entire Agreement. This Agreement contains the entire agreement of the parties
with respect to the subject matter referred to herein and supersedes any and all prior
negotiations, understandings, arrangements, letters of intent, and agreements, whether written or
oral, between the Executive and the Company and its Affiliates, or any of its or their directors,
officers, employees or representatives with respect thereto.

          18.10. No Right of Employment. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as giving
the Executive any right to be retained in the employ of the Company or shall interfere in any way
with the right of the Company to terminate the Executive’s employment at any time, with or without
Cause.

          18.11. Unfunded Obligation. The obligations under this Agreement shall be unfunded.
Benefits payable under this Agreement shall be paid from the general assets of the Company. The
Company shall have no obligation to establish any fund or to set aside any assets to provide
benefits under this Agreement.

          18.12. Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
if the Company determines, in its good faith judgment, that any provision of this Agreement is
likely to be interpreted as a personal loan prohibited by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the
rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Act”), then such provision shall be modified as
necessary or appropriate so as to not violate the Act; and if this cannot be accomplished, then the
Company shall use its best efforts to provide the Executive with similar, but lawful, substitute
benefit(s) at a cost to the Company not to significantly exceed the amount the Company would have
otherwise paid to provide such benefit(s) to the Executive. In addition, if the Executive is
required to forfeit or to make any repayment of any compensation or benefit(s) to the Company under
the Act or any other law, such forfeiture or repayment shall not constitute Good Reason.

     This Mutual Release Agreement (this “Agreement”), is made and entered into this ___day of
                    , 2                     , by and between Wright Medical Technology, Inc. (the “Company”), a corporation
organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware with its principal place of business
at 5677 Airline Road, Arlington, Tennessee 38002, and Gary D. Henley (the “Executive”).

     The Executive, on behalf of the Executive and the Executive’s heirs, executors,
administrators, successors and assigns, whether herein named or referred to or not, does hereby
release, discharge, and acquit and by these presents does hereby release, acquit, and forever
discharge Company, its successors and assigns, its agents, servants, and employees, its divisions,
subdivisions, and affiliates (collectively, the “Company”), of and from any and all past, present,
and future claims, counterclaims, demands, actions, causes of action, liabilities, damages, costs,
loss of services, expenses, compensation, third-party actions, suits at law or in equity, of every
nature and description, whether known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, foreseen, or
unforeseen, real or imaginary, actual or potential, and whether arising at law or in equity, under
the common law, state or federal law, or any other law, or otherwise, including, but not limited
to, any claims that have been or might have been asserted as a result of the establishment or
termination of the employer-employee relationship, hereinafter collectively referred to as claims.
It is the intention of the parties hereto to effect a full and final general release of all such
claims. It is expressly understood and agreed that this release and agreement is intended to
cover, and does cover, not only all now known injuries, losses, and damages, but any future
injuries, losses, and damages not now known or anticipated, but which may later develop or be
discovered, including all the effects and consequences thereof.

     Executive does hereby declare that the Executive does understand, covenant, and agree that the
Executive will not make any claims or demands, or file any legal proceedings against Company or
join Company as a party to any claim, demand, or legal proceedings nor shall Executive proceed
against any other party, person, firm, or corporation on the claims described above except as is
necessary in order to enforce the terms and conditions of this Release and the Severance Pay
Agreement.

THE FILING OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, OR ANY AND ALL OTHER LEGAL PROCEEDINGS, BY THE EXECUTIVE, AGAINST
COMPANY, SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE A MATERIAL BREACH OF THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT. SUCH BREACH SHALL,
IMMEDIATELY, TERMINATE COMPANY’S DUTY TO PAY ANY FURTHER SUMS TO EXECUTIVE AND SHALL ALSO BIND
EXECUTIVE TO REPAY ANY AND ALL SUMS PAID TO EXECUTIVE PURSUANT TO THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT.
ADDITIONALLY, EXECUTIVE SHALL INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS COMPANY FROM ANY AND ALL JUDGMENTS,

DEMAND, OR OTHER LEGAL PROCEEDINGS BY THE EXECUTIVE.

     It is further understood and agreed that the acceptance of the consideration more fully
described in the Severance Pay Agreement between the parties is in full accord and satisfaction of
any obligations, claims, and/or disputes that Executive may have with Company.

     And the parties hereby declare, understand, covenant, and agree that the terms of the
Severance Pay Agreement, and the amount stated therein, are the sole consideration for this release
and agreement and that the parties voluntarily accept said consideration for the purpose of making
a full and final compromise, adjustment and settlement of all claims for injuries, losses, and
damages resulting, or to result, from said claims.

     Except for any claim under Sections 12, 13 or 14 of the Employment Agreement, the Company, on
behalf of itself, its agents, servants, and employees, its divisions, subdivisions, and affiliates

necessary in order to enforce the terms and conditions of this Release and the Severance Pay
Agreement.

THE FILING OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, OR ANY AND ALL OTHER LEGAL PROCEEDINGS, BY THE COMPANY, AGAINST
EXECUTIVE, SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE A MATERIAL BREACH OF THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT. SUCH BREACH
SHALL, IMMEDIATELY, TERMINATE EXECUTIVE’S DUTY TO COMPLY WITH THE NON-SOLICIATION,
NON-INTERFERENCE, AND NON-COMPETITION COVENANTS OF THE SEVERANCE PAY AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES.
ADDITIONALLY, COMPANY SHALL INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS EXECUTIVE FROM ANY AND ALL JUDGMENTS,
COSTS, EXPENSES, OR ATTORNEY FEES WHATSOEVER ARISING ON ACCOUNT OF THE FILING OF ANY SUCH CLAIM,

discharges Wright and each of the Wright’s stockholders, predecessors, successors, assigns, agents,

Act of 1967, as amended from time to time, and other federal, state, or local laws prohibiting

SEPARATION PAY AGREEMENT

     THIS SEPARATION PAY AGREEMENT (“Agreement”), dated as of April 1, 2009 (the
“Effective Date”) is made by and between WRIGHT MEDICAL TECHNOLOGY, INC., a corporation
organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware with its principal place of business
at 5677 Airline Road, Arlington, Tennessee 38002 (the “Company”), and JOHN K. BAKEWELL (the
“Executive”).

     WHEREAS, the Company or its Affiliate (collectively referred to as the “Company”)
employs the Executive as Executive Vice President & Chief Financial Officer and recognizes the
Executive as performing key functions for the success of the Company; and

     WHEREAS, the Company has determined that it is in the best interests of the Company to
institute formalized separation arrangements for certain executives of the Company, including
Executive, in the event of a separation of employment; and

     WHEREAS, the Executive desires to enter into this Agreement with Company;

     NOW, THEREFORE, based on the foregoing, and for and in consideration of the mutual covenants
contained in this Agreement, the Company and the Executive hereby agree as follows:

     1. Definitions. For the purposes of this Agreement, the following capitalized terms
have the meanings set forth below:

          1.1.“ Accounting Firm” has the meaning assigned thereto in Section 9.4 hereof.

          1.2. “Act” has the meaning assigned in Section 2 hereof.

          1.3. “Affiliate” has the meaning set forth in Rule 12b-2 promulgated under the
Exchange Act.

          1.4. “Buyer” has the meaning assigned thereto in Section 19.11 hereof.

          1.5. “Cause” means:

               1.5.1. Prior to a Change in Control, (i) the willful failure by the Executive to substantially
perform the Executive’s duties with the Company (other than any such failure resulting from the
Executive’s incapacity due to physical or mental illness) as determined by the Board, which failure
amounts to an intentional and extended neglect of the Executive’s duties, (ii) continued,
documented poor performance on the part of the Executive following a reasonably sufficient time for
the Executive to improve, (iii) the determination by the Board, in its sole discretion, that the
Executive has engaged or is about to engage in conduct materially injurious to the Company, (iv)
the Executive’s conviction of or entering of a guilty or no contest plea to a felony charge (or
equivalent thereof) in any jurisdiction; and/or (v) the Executive’s participation in activities
proscribed in Sections 13.1, 13.3, and 13.4 or the material breach of any other covenants contained
herein. For the purposes of clause (i) of this definition, no act, or failure to act, on the
Executive’s part shall be deemed to be “willful” unless done, or omitted to be done, by the
Executive not in good faith and without reasonable belief that the Executive’s act, or failure to
act, was in the best interests of the Company.

               1.5.2. From and after a Change in Control, (i) the willful failure by the Executive to
substantially perform the Executive’s duties with the Company (other than any such failure
resulting from the Executive’s incapacity due to physical or mental illness) as determined by the

the determination by the Board, in its sole discretion, that the Executive has engaged or is about
to engage in conduct materially injurious to the Company, (iii) the Executive’s conviction of or
entering of a guilty or no contest plea to a

felony charge (or equivalent thereof) in any jurisdiction; and/or (iv) the Executive’s
participation in activities proscribed in Sections 13.1, 13.3, and 13.4 or the material breach of
any other covenants contained herein. For the purposes of clause (i) of this definition, no act,
or failure to act, on the Executive’s part shall be deemed to “willful” unless done, or omitted to
be done, by the Executive not in good faith and without reasonable belief that the Executive’s act,
or failure to act, was in the best interests of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Executive shall not be deemed terminated for Cause pursuant to clause (i) of this definition unless
and until the Executive shall have been provided with reasonable notice of and, if possible, a
reasonable opportunity to cure the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for
termination of the Executive’s employment for Cause.

of WMG, or (ii) the total voting power of the outstanding capital stock of WMG; provided, however,

fifty percent (50%) of the total fair market value or the total voting power of the outstanding
capital stock of WMG as of the date of this Agreement acquires any additional capital stock of WMG;
and provided further, that an increase in the percentage of the outstanding capital stock of WMG
owned by a Person as a result of a transaction in which WMG acquires its capital stock in exchange
for property will be treated as an acquisition of such capital stock by such Person; or

               1.6.2. the acquisition by a Person, in a single transaction or a series of transactions within
a twelve (12) month period, of capital stock of WMG representing not less than thirty-five percent
(35%) of the total voting power of the outstanding capital stock of WMG; or

               1.6.3. the acquisition by a Person, in a single transaction or a series of transactions within
a twelve (12) month period, of consolidated assets of WMG which have a total gross fair market
value of not less than forty percent (40%) of the total gross fair market value of all the
consolidated assets of WMG immediately prior to such acquisition(s), in each case without regard to
any liabilities associated with such assets; provided, however, that a Change in Control will not
be deemed to have occurred when such assets are acquired by:

                    1.6.3.1. an entity of which WMG owns, directly or indirectly, fifty
percent (50%) or more of
the total fair market value or the total voting power of the outstanding capital stock;

                    1.6.3.2. a Person which owns, directly or indirectly, fifty percent
(50%) or more of the total
fair market value or the total voting power of the outstanding capital stock of WMG;

                    1.6.3.3. an entity of which a Person described in clause ii above
owns, directly or
indirectly, fifty percent (50%) or more of the total fair market value or the total voting power of
the outstanding capital stock;

                    1.6.3.4. an entity which is controlled by the stockholders of WMG
immediately after the

Reason; provided, however, that except as provided in the last paragraph of Section 6 hereof, a
termination of the Executive’s employment by reason of the Executive’s retirement on or after age
[65] prior to a Change in Control shall not constitute an Involuntary Termination hereunder. In
addition, an Involuntary Termination that would cause an amount to be paid to an Executive which is
non-qualified deferred compensation subject to Code Section 409A, shall also mean an Executive’s

in
Section 5.3.1 hereof.

               1.25. “Pre-Change In Control Severance Payment” has the meaning assigned thereto in

the Company determines, in its good faith judgment, that any provision of this Agreement is likely
to be interpreted as a personal loan prohibited by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the rules and
regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Act”), then such provision shall be modified as
necessary or appropriate so as to not violate the Act; and if this cannot be accomplished, then the
Company shall use its best efforts to provide the Executive with similar, but lawful, substitute
benefit(s) at a cost to the Company not to significantly exceed the amount the Company would have
otherwise paid to provide such benefit(s) to the Executive. In addition, if the Executive is
required to forfeit or to make any repayment of any compensation or benefit(s) to the Company under
the Act or any other law, such forfeiture or repayment shall not constitute Good Reason.

          3. Notice and Date of Termination

               3.1. Any termination of the Executive’s employment by the Company or by the Executive shall be
communicated by a written notice of termination to the other party (the “Notice of
Termination”). Where applicable, the Notice of Termination shall indicate the specific
termination provision in this Agreement relied upon and shall set forth in reasonable detail the
facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of the Executive’s employment
under the provision so indicated. Unless the Board determines otherwise, a Notice of Termination
by the Executive alleging a termination for Good Reason must be made within 90 days of the initial
instance, or the initial instance which should reasonably have been known to the Executive, of an
act or failure to act that the Executive alleges to constitute Good Reason.

               3.2. The date of the Executive’s termination of employment with the Company (the “Date
of
Termination”) shall be determined as follows:

                    3.2.1. If due to Company terminating the Executive’s employment,
either with or without Cause,
the Date of Termination shall be the date specified in the Notice of Termination; if for other than
Cause, the Date of Termination shall not be less than two (2) weeks from the date such Notice of
Termination is given, unless the Company elects to pay the Executive for that period in lieu of
notice.

                    3.2.2. If due to death, the Date of Termination is the date of death.

                    3.2.3. If the basis of the Executive’s Involuntary Termination is
the Executive’s resignation
for Good Reason, the Date of Termination shall be determined by the Company, but shall not be less
than two (2) weeks nor more than eight (8) weeks form the date such Notice of Termination is given.

          4. Termination from the Board and any Offices Held. Upon termination of the
Executive’s employment for any reason, the Executive agrees the Executive’s membership on the Board
of the Company, the board of directors of any of the Company’s Affiliates, any committees of the
Board, any committees of the board of directors of any of the Company’s Affiliates and any and all
offices held, if applicable, shall be automatically terminated. Executive hereby agrees to
cooperate with the Company and execute any documents reasonably required by the Company or
competent authorities to effect this provision.

          5. Severance Benefits upon Involuntary Termination Prior to Change in Control. Except
as provided in Sections 6 and 17 hereof, in the event of the Involuntary Termination of the
Executive prior to a Change in Control, the Company shall pay to the Executive the following
Pre-Change in Control Severance Payment in the following amounts and manner:

               5.1. The total payment will be equal to the product of twelve (12) months (the “Total
Number of Months”) multiplied by 1.50 times monthly base pay. Provided, however, if the
termination occurs within the first two (2) years of the Executive’s initial employment, the
Total Number of Months shall not be less than eighteen (18) months.

               5.2. The payment will be made as follows: (i) half in a lump sum payable at or within a
reasonable period of time after the Date of Termination and (ii) subject to receipt of an executed
Release that has not been revoked, the remaining half in installments starting six (6) months after
the Date of Termination with a final installment of all remaining amounts to be paid on or before
March 15 of the calendar year following the year in which the Date of Termination occurred. The
amount of each installment payment described in clause (ii) of the preceding sentence will be
determined by dividing half of the total payment by 50% of the Total Number of Months. The final
installment will be equal to the total payment reduced by all the amounts previously paid (i.e.,
the lump sum payment and the sum of all the installment payments previously paid). Notwithstanding
the provisions of clause (ii) to the contrary, if the

six month period would cause the installments to begin to be paid after the March 15 date described in the first sentence of this section 5.2,
then no installments will be paid, and the second payment will be a lump sum equal to half the
total payment and that payment will be paid on or before March 15 of the calendar year following
the year in which the Date of Termination occurred. The installment payments (or the second lump sum payment, if applicable) are specifically designated as consideration for
execution of the Release required in Section 13 and compliance with Executive’s covenants outlined
in Section 13. All payments will have applicable taxes withheld and any installment payments will
be paid at the same time as the normal Company payroll.

               5.3. In addition to the Pre-Change in Control Severance Payment, the Executive shall be
entitled to receive the following additional benefits:

Executive a lump sum amount
in cash equal to the sum of (i) the Executive’s annual base salary through the Date of Termination
to the extent not theretofore paid, (ii) an amount equal to any annual cash Incentive Compensation

(The amounts specified in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) shall be hereinafter referred to as the

to be provided.

                    5.3.4. Outplacement Benefits. The Executive shall receive
outplacement assistance and
services following the Date of Termination for a period of months equal to the Total Number of
Months. These services will be provided by a national firm whose primary business is outplacement

employment with another employer, these outplacement benefits shall cease on the date of such
acceptance.

                    5.3.5. Financial Planning Services. The Executive shall receive
financial planning

receive a payment for use in continuation of insurance coverage, such payment to be equal to
the annual supplemental executive insurance benefit provided to the Executive prior to the
Executive’s Date of Termination. The Company will use its best efforts to make this payment at the
time requested.

                    5.3.8. Attorney’s Fees in Defense of This Agreement.
Notwithstanding any provision in
this Agreement, the Company shall pay all reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses for the
Executive if the Executive must engage an attorney in order to enforce this Agreement
following the Executive’s Date of Termination. The Company will make payments on at least a
quarterly basis based on billings presented by the Executive from his or her legal counsel.

          6. Severance Benefits upon Involuntary Termination in Connection with and after a Change
in Control. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5 above, in the event of the Involuntary
Termination of the Executive within twelve (12) months following a Change in Control, the Company
shall pay to the Executive the following Post-Change in Control Severance Payment in the
following amounts and manner:

               6.1. The total payment will be equal to twelve (12) months multiplied by 1.50 times monthly
base pay. This is the Total Number of Months (the “Total Number of Months”). Provided,
however, if the termination occurs within the first two (2) years of the Executive’s initial
employment, the Total Number of Months shall not be less than eighteen (18) months.

               6.2. The payment will be made as follows: (i) half in a lump sum payable at or within a
reasonable period of time after the Date of Termination and (ii) subject to receipt of an executed
Release that has not been revoked, the remaining half in installments starting six (6) months after
the Date of Termination with a final installment of all remaining amounts to be paid on March 15 of
the calendar year following the year in which the Date of Termination occurred. The amount of each
installment payment described in clause (ii) of the preceding sentence will be determined by
dividing half of the total payment by 50% of the total Number of Months. The final installment
will be equal to the total payment reduced by all the amounts previously paid (i.e., the lump sum
payment and the sum of all the installment payments previously paid). Notwithstanding the
provisions of clause (ii) to the contrary, if the six month period would cause the installments to
begin to be paid after the March 15 date described in the first sentence of this section 6.2, then
no installments will be paid, and the second payment will be a lump sum equal to half the total
payment and that payment will be paid on March 15 of the calendar year following the year in which
the Date of Termination occurred. The installment payments (or the second lump sum payment, if
applicable) are specifically designated as consideration for execution of the Release required in
Section 13 and compliance with Executive’s covenants outlined in Section 13. All payments will
have applicable taxes withheld and any installment payments will be paid at the same time as the
normal Company payroll.

               6.3. In addition to the Post-Change in Control Severance Payment, the Executive shall be
entitled to receive the following additional benefits:

                    6.3.1. Accrued Obligations. The Company shall pay to the
Executive a lump sum amount
in cash equal to the sum of (i) the Executive’s annual base salary through the Date of Termination
to the extent not theretofore paid, (ii) an amount equal to any annual cash Incentive Compensation
Awards earned (based on most recently completed performance period, whether that period is the
prior quarter or the prior year), but not yet paid, (iii) an amount equal to the value of any
accrued and/or untaken vacation, if any, (iv) reimbursement for unreimbursed business expenses, if
any, properly incurred by the Executive in the performance of the Executive’s duties in accordance
with the policies established from time to time by the Board and (v) an annual incentive payment at
target for the year that includes the Date of Termination, prorated. (The amounts specified in
clauses (i), (ii), (iii), (iv) and (v) shall be hereinafter referred to as the “Post-Change in
Control Accrued Obligations”.)

                    6.3.2. Equity Based Compensation. All equity-based Incentive
Compensation Awards
(including, without limitation, stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards,

restricted stock units, performance share awards or other related awards) held by the Executive
shall be governed by the terms of the applicable Incentive Compensation Plan and Incentive
Compensation Award agreement, and this Agreement shall have no effect upon them.

                    6.3.3. Welfare Benefits. Subject to Section 11 herein, the
Executive shall be
eligible for health and dental coverage as provided for under COBRA, using the normal COBRA
administration process of the Company. The Company will pay all costs of these benefits for a
period up to, but not exceeding 18 months. If the Executive accepts employment with another employer or
otherwise is no longer eligible for COBRA coverage, these welfare benefits will cease to be
provided.

                    6.3.4. Outplacement Benefits. The Executive shall receive
outplacement assistance and
services following the Date of Termination for a period of months equal to the Total Number of
Months. These services will be provided by a national firm whose primary business is outplacement
assistance, selected by the Company. Notwithstanding the above, if the Executive accepts
employment with another employer, these outplacement benefits shall cease on the date of such
acceptance.

                    6.3.5. Financial Planning Services. The Executive shall receive
financial planning
services for a period of months equal to the Total Number of Months following the Date of
Termination, at a level consistent with the benefits provided under the Company’s financial
planning program for the Executive as in effect immediately prior to the Date of Termination.

                    6.3.6. Annual Physical. The Executive shall, within the
12 months following the Date
of Termination, receive an annual physical consistent with the physical provided under the
Company’s annual physical program as in effect immediately prior to the Date of Termination.

                    6.3.7. General Insurance Benefit. No later than March 15
of the calendar year
following the year in which the Date of Termination occurred, provided Executive has made a request
for the payment described in this section 6.3.7 on such form as the Company may require. Executive
shall receive a payment for use in continuation of insurance coverage, such payment to be equal to
the annual supplemental executive insurance benefit provided to the Executive prior to the
Executive’s Date of Termination. The Company will use its best efforts to make this payment at the
time requested.

                    6.3.8. Attorney’s Fees in Defense of This Agreement.
Notwithstanding any provision in
this Agreement, the Company shall pay all reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses for the Executive
if the Executive must engage an attorney in order to enforce this Agreement following the
Executive’s Date of Termination. The Company will make payments on at least a quarterly basis
based on billings presented by the Executive from his or her legal counsel.

               6.4. Notwithstanding anything contained herein, if a Change in Control occurs and the
Executive’s employment with the Company is terminated by reason of Involuntary Termination prior to
the Change in Control Date, and if such termination of employment (i) was at the request of a third
party who has taken steps reasonably calculated to effect the Change in Control or (ii) otherwise
arose in connection with or in anticipation of the Change in Control, then the Executive shall, in
lieu of the payments described in Section 5 hereof, be entitled to the Post-Change in Control
Severance Payment and the additional benefits described in this Section 6 as if such Involuntary
Termination had occurred within twelve (12) months following the Change in Control.

          7. Severance Benefits upon Termination by the Company for Cause or by the Executive Other
than for Good Reason. If the Executive’s employment shall be terminated for Cause, or if the
Executive terminates employment other than for Good Reason, the Company will have no further
obligations to the Executive under this Agreement other than the Pre-Change in Control Accrued
Obligations and any amounts described in Section 10 hereof.

          8. Severance Benefits upon Termination due to Death. If the Executive’s employment
shall terminate by reason of death, the Company shall pay the Executive’s estate the Post-Change in
Control Accrued Obligations and any amounts or benefits described in Section 10 herein. Such
payments shall be in addition to those rights and benefits to which the Executive’s estate may be
entitled under the relevant Company plans or programs.

          9. Adjustments to Maximize After-Tax Benefits. In the event it shall be determined
that any payment or distribution by the Company or its Affiliates to or for the benefit of the
Executive (whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement or otherwise, but determined without regard to any additional payments required under this Section 9 ( a
“Payment”) would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code or any
interest or penalties are incurred by the Executive with respect to such excise tax (such excise
tax, together with any such interest and penalties, are hereinafter collectively referred to as the
“Excise Tax”) , then the Executive’s Unreduced and Reduced Net Benefit shall be determined
and the Payments shall be adjusted in accordance with Section 9.3.

               9.1. For purposes of Section 9.3 the Unreduced Net Benefit shall equal the Payments, less the
amount of federal, state and local income and other taxes (including the excise tax under Code
Section 4999) payable with respect to such benefits. For these purposes, the federal, state, local
and any other taxes shall be calculated at the maximum marginal income tax rates applicable to such
Executive for each year in which the foregoing amounts shall be paid.

         
      9.2. For purposes of Section 9.3 the Reduced Net Benefit shall equal the amount determined
under Section 9.1 but with the Payments first reduced by an amount such that the present value of
all payments and benefits that the Executive receives or is entitled to receive from the Company
that would constitute “parachute payments” within the meaning of Code Section 280G does not exceed
2.99 times the Executive’s “base amount,” as defined under Code Section 280G. For purposes of
calculating the aggregate present value of such parachute payments, the requirements of Code
Section 280G shall be followed.

               9.3. If the Executive’s Reduced Net Benefit is greater than the Unreduced Net Benefit, then
the amount of the Payments set forth in Section 9.2 of the Agreement shall be reduced to an
aggregate present value amount that does not subject any of the payments to taxation under Code
Section 4999.

               9.4. A nationally recognized accounting firm as may be agreed upon by the Company and the
Executive (the ”Accounting Firm”) shall perform any and all calculations required under Code
Section 280G, and shall determine the Executive’s Reduced and Unreduced Net Benefit. Such
determination shall be made within ten (10) business days of the date of a change in control or
ownership as determined under Code Section 280G and such determinations shall be binding on the
Company and the Executive. In the event a reduction of the Payments is to be made pursuant to
Section 9.3, the Executive shall have discretion to determine which and how much of the Payments
shall be eliminated or reduced consistent with the requirements of Section 9.3 and in accordance
with the requirements of Code Section 409A. The Executive shall make such decision no later than
five (5) business days following the determination by the independent accounting firm of the
Executive’s Reduced and Unreduced Net Benefit.

          10. Nonexclusivity of Rights. Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or limit the
Executive’s continuing or future participation in any benefit plan, program, policy or practice
provided by the Company and for which the Executive may qualify (except with respect to any benefit
to which the Executive has waived the Executive’s rights in writing), including, without
limitation, any and all indemnification arrangements in favor of the Executive (whether under
agreements or under the Company’s charter documents or otherwise), and insurance policies covering
the Executive, nor shall anything herein limit or otherwise affect such rights as the Executive may
have under any other contract or agreement entered into after the Effective Date with the Company.
Amounts which are vested benefits or which the

Executive is otherwise entitled to receive under any benefit, plan, policy, practice or
program of, or any contract or agreement entered into with, the Company shall be payable in
accordance with such benefit, plan, policy, practice or program or contract or agreement except as
explicitly modified by this Agreement. At all times during the Executive’s employment with the
Company and thereafter, the Company shall provide the Executive with indemnification and director
and officer insurance insuring the Executive against insurable events which occur or have occurred
while the Executive was a director or executive officer of the Company, on terms and conditions
that are at least as generous as that then provided to any other current or former director or
executive officer of the Company or any Affiliate.

     11. Full Settlement; Mitigation. The Company’s obligation to make the payments
provided for in this Agreement and otherwise to perform the obligations hereunder shall not be
affected by any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other claim, right or action which
the Company may have against the Executive or others, provided that nothing herein shall preclude
the Company from separately pursuing recovery from the Executive based on any such claim. In no
event shall the Executive be obligated to seek other employment or take any other action by way of
mitigation of the amounts (including amounts for damages for breach) payable to the Executive under
any of the provisions of this Agreement, and such amounts shall not be reduced whether or not the
Executive obtains other employment.

     12. Representations. The Executive hereby represents to the Company that the
Executive is legally entitled to enter into this Agreement and to perform the Executive’s
obligations hereunder, and that the Executive has the full right, power and authority, subject to
no rights of any third parties, to grant to the Company the rights contemplated in Section 13.2.

     13. Executive’s Covenants. The Executive hereby agrees to the following:

          13.1. Confidentiality. The Executive recognizes and acknowledges that the Company’s
and its predecessor’s Confidential Information is a valuable, special and unique asset of the
Company’s businesses, access to and knowledge of which are essential to the performance of the
Executive’s duties. Confidential Information shall include trade secrets and includes information
acquired by the Executive in the course and scope of the Executive’s job with the Company,
including information acquired from third parties, that is (i) not generally known or disseminated
outside the Company (such as nonpublic information), (ii) is designated or marked by the Company as
“confidential” or reasonably should be considered confidential or proprietary, or (iii) the Company
indicates through its policies, procedures or other instructions should not be disclosed to anyone
outside the Company. Without limiting the foregoing definitions, some examples of Confidential
Information under this Agreement include (a) matters of a technical nature, such as scientific,
trade or engineering secrets, “know-how”, formulae, secret processes, inventions, and research and
development plans or projects regarding existing and prospective customers, and products and
services, (b) information about costs, profits, markets, sales, customer lists, customer needs,
customer preferences and customer purchasing histories, supplier lists, internal financial data,
personnel evaluations, nonpublic information about medical devices or products of the Company
(including future plans about them), information and material provided by third parties in
confidence and/or with nondisclosure restrictions, computer access passwords, and internal market
studies or surveys and (c) any other information or matters of a similar nature. The Executive
shall not, during or after the Executive’s employment by the Company, in whole or in part, disclose
such Confidential Information to any person, firm, corporation, association or other entity for any
reason or purpose whatsoever, nor shall the Executive make use of any such property for the
Executive’s own purposes or for the benefit of any person firm, corporation, association or other
entity (except the Company) under any circumstances during or after the Executive’s employment by
the Company; provided, however, that after the Executive’s employment by the Company ceases these
restrictions shall not apply to such Confidential Information, if any, which are then in the public
domain, and provided further that the Executive was not responsible, directly or indirectly, for
such Confidential Information entering the public domain without the Company’s consent.

          13.2. Inventions. The Executive hereby sells, transfers and assigns to the Company
or to any person or entity designated by the Company all of the right, title and interest of the
Executive in and to all inventions, ideas, disclosures and improvements, whether patented or
unpatented, and copyrightable material, made or conceived by the Executive, solely or jointly,
during the Executive’s employment by the Company or any of its predecessors which relate to
methods, apparatus, designs, products, processes or devices sold, leased, used or under
consideration or development by the Company or any of its predecessors, or which otherwise relate
to or pertain to the business, functions or operations of the Company or any of its predecessors,
or which arise from the efforts of the Executive during the Executive’s employment with the Company
or any of its predecessors. The Executive shall, during and after the Executive’s employment with
the Company, communicate promptly and disclose to the Company, in such form as the Company
requests, all information, details and data pertaining to the aforementioned inventions, ideas,
disclosures and improvements. The Executive shall, during and after the Executive’s employment by
the Company, execute and deliver to the Company such formal transfers and assignments and such
other papers and documents as may be necessary by the Company to file and prosecute the patent
applications and, as to copyrightable material, to obtain copyright thereof. Any invention
relating to the business of the Company and disclosed by the Executive within one (1) year after
the Executive’s employment with the Company ceases shall be deemed to fall within the provisions of
this Section 13.2 unless proved to have been first conceived and made following such termination or
expiration.

          13.3. Non-Solicitation of Employees. The Executive recognizes that the Executive
possesses and will possess confidential information about other employees of the Company and its
Affiliates relating to their education, experience, skills, abilities, compensation and benefits,
and inter-personal relationships with customer of the Company and its Affiliates. The Executive
recognizes that the information the Executive possesses and will possess about these other
employees is not generally known, is of substantial value to the Company and its Affiliates in
developing their business and in securing and retaining customers, and has been and will be
acquired by the Executive because of the Executive’s business position with the Company and its
Affiliates. The Executive agrees that at all times during the Executive’s employment with the
Company and for a period equal to the Executive’s Total Number of Months thereafter, the Executive
will not, directly or indirectly, solicit or recruit any employee of the Company or its Affiliates
for the purpose of being employed by the Executive or by any competitor of the Company or its
Affiliates on whose behalf the Executive is acting as an agent, representative or employee and that
the Executive will not convey such confidential information or trade secrets about other employees
of the Company and its Affiliates to any other Person; provided, however, that it shall not
constitute a solicitation or recruitment of employment in violation of paragraph to discuss
employment opportunities with any employee of the Company or its Affiliates who has either first
contacted the Executive or regarding whose employment the Executive has discussed with and received
the written approval of the Company’s Vice President, Human Resources (or, if such position is
vacant, the Company’s then Chief Executive Officer), prior to making such solicitation or
recruitment. In view of the nature of the Executive’s employment with the Company, the Executive
likewise agrees that the Company and its Affiliates would be irreparably harmed by any such
solicitation or recruitment in violation of the terms of this paragraph and that the Company and
its Affiliates shall therefore be entitled to preliminary and/or permanent injunctive relief
prohibiting the Executive from engaging in any activity or threatened activity in violation of the
terms of this paragraph and to any other relief available to them.

          13.4. Non-Interference and Non-Competition. During the Executive’s employment by
the Company and its Affiliates and for a period of months equal to the Executive’s Total Number of
Months after such employment ceases, the Executive shall not, directly or indirectly (whether as an
officer, director, owner, employee, partner, or other participant), engage in any Competitive
Business. During this period, the Executive shall not solicit or entice any agent, supplier,
consultant, distributor, contractor, lessors or lessees of the Company or its Affiliates to make
any changes whatsoever in their current relationships with the Company or its Affiliates, and will
not assist any other Person or entity to interfere with or dispute such relationship. In view of
the nature of the Executive’s employment with the Company,
the Executive likewise agrees that the Company and its Affiliates would be irreparably harmed
by any

such interference or competitive actions in violation of the terms of this paragraph and
that the Company and its Affiliates shall therefore be entitled to preliminary and/or permanent
injunctive relief prohibiting the Executive from engaging in any activity or threatened activity in
violation of the terms of this paragraph and to any other relief available to them.

          13.5. Release. The Executive and the Company agree that if the Executive’s employment
is terminated for any reason other than Cause or death, the Executive and the Company will execute
a release (the “Release”) of all claims substantially in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit A within forty-five (45) days after the applicable Date of Termination and does not revoke
such Release in accordance to the terms thereof. The Executive recognizes and agrees that
notwithstanding any other section to the contrary, this executed Release is required to be made
prior to any payments of any kind under this Agreement. Furthermore, in the event that the
Executive is covered under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (“ADEA”), the Executive
agrees to execute the ADEA Release of all ADEA claims substantially in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit B as provided in the ADEA Release.

          13.6. Cooperation with Legal Matters.  Executive agrees to cooperate with the Company
and its designated attorneys, representatives and agents in connection with any actual or
threatened judicial, administrative or other legal or equitable proceeding in which the Company is
or may become involved. Upon reasonable notice, Executive agrees to meet with and provide to the
Company or its designated attorneys, representatives or agents all information and knowledge
Executive may have relating to the subject matter of any such proceeding. The Company agrees to
reimburse Executive for any reasonable costs incurred by Executive in providing such cooperation.

     14. Specific Remedies for Executive Breach of the Covenants as outlined in Section 13.
Without limiting the rights and remedies available to the Company, and notwithstanding the rights
of the Executive set forth in Section 11, in the event of any breach by the Executive of the
covenants set forth in Section 13 above, the following actions may be taken by the Company:

          14.1. if the Company believes a breach has occurred, it will deliver to the Executive a
summary of the breach and a demand for explanation or agreement that such breach has occurred; the
Executive shall have twenty (20) business days to respond in writing to this demand, whereupon the
Company will make a decision as to whether the breach has, in fact, occurred; if it is determined
such a breach has occurred, then

          14.2. the Company’s obligation to make any payment or provide any benefits to the Executive
under Sections 5, 6, 7, 8 or 9 of this Agreement shall cease immediately and permanently, which
shall not have any impact whatsoever on the Executive’s continuing obligations under Sections 14.3
and 14.4 below, except, however, the benefits outlined in Sections 5.3.8 and 6.3.8 will continue to
be provided;

          14.3. the Executive shall repay to the Company, within ten (10) days after the Executive
receives written demand therefore, an amount equal to ninety percent (90%) of the payments and
benefits previously received by the Executive under this Agreement, plus interest on such amount at
an annual rate equal to the lesser of ten percent (10%) or the maximum non-usurious rate under
applicable law, from the dates on which such payments and benefits were received to the date of
repayment to the Company; and

          14.4. the Executive shall pay to the Company from time to time, within ten (10) days after the
Executive receives written demand therefore, an amount or amounts equal to the reasonable costs and
expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses) incurred by or on behalf of the
Company in enforcing this Section 14 from and after the date on which the Company delivers notice
of such breach to the Executive.

          14.5. It is the desire and intent of the parties that the provisions of this Section 14 be
enforced to the fullest extent permissible under the applicable laws in each jurisdiction in which
enforcement is sought. Accordingly, if any portion of this Section 14 is adjudicated to be invalid
or unenforceable, this Section 14 shall be deemed curtailed, whether as to time or location, to the
minimum extent required for its validity under applicable law and shall be binding and enforceable
with respect to the Executive as so curtailed, such curtailment to apply only with respect to the
operation of this Section 14 in the jurisdiction in which the such adjudication is made. If a
court in any jurisdiction, in adjudicating the validity of this Section 14, imposes any additional
terms or restrictions with respect to this Section 14, this Section 14 shall be deemed amended to
incorporate such additional terms or restrictions.

          14.6. Executive agrees and acknowledges that Executive has received good and adequate
consideration for the covenants set forth in this Section 14 in the form of employment,
compensation and benefits separate and independent of any payments or potential payments in this
Agreement.

     15. Potential Impact of Accounting Restatements on Certain Bonuses and Profits.

          15.1. If the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement of the Company’s
consolidated balance sheet or statement of operations affecting any reporting period that
transpires during the term of this Agreement due to the material noncompliance of the Company with
any financial requirements under the securities laws, the Company’s Board will be entitled to
determine whether the noncompliance was the result of knowing, intentional, fraudulent or illegal
conduct by the Executive, and if it so determines, to require the Executive to reimburse the
Company for (i) any bonus or other incentive-based or equity-based compensation received by the
Executive from the Company during the term of this Agreement and (ii) any profits realized from the
sale of securities of the issuer by the Executive during the term of this Agreement.

          15.2. In making the determination whether to seek reimbursement from Executive, the Board will
consider whether any bonus, incentive payment, equity award, or other compensation has been awarded
or received by the Executive during the term of this Agreement and whether such compensation was
based on any financial results or operating metrics that were satisfied as a result of the
Executive’s knowing, intentional, fraudulent or illegal conduct. The Board has sole discretion in
determining whether the Executive’s conduct has or has not met the standard of such forfeiture.

          15.3. If the Board determines that a forfeiture is appropriate, such amounts shall be withheld
from any future amounts owed to the Executive as compensation. The Company may commence legal
action to collect such sums as the Board determines is owed to the Company.

provisions of this Agreement, to determine an individual’s entitlement to benefits under this
Agreement, to make in its sole and absolute discretion all determinations contemplated under this
Agreement, to investigate and make factual determinations necessary or advisable to administer or

imposition of additional federal income tax pursuant to Section 409A of the Code. Without limiting
the foregoing, in the event that the Executive is a “specified employee” within the contemplation
of Section 409A(a)(2)(B) of the Code at the time that any payment that is subject to Section 409A
of the Code is made on account of the Executive’s Involuntary Termination the Executive’s
separation from service with the Company and its Affiliates within the contemplation of Section
409A(a)(2)(A)(i) of the Code), then in no event shall such payment or the commencement thereof be
made before the six-month anniversary of the Date of Termination or, if earlier, the date of the
Executive’s post-separation death.

          18.3. Any reimbursement payment made under this Agreement that is considered non-qualified
deferred compensation within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code shall be made within the
timing requirements of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(iv).

     19. Miscellaneous.

extended or discharged except by an agreement in writing of both parties. No person, other than
pursuant to a resolution of the Board or the Compensation Committee, shall have authority on behalf
of the Company to agree to amend, modify, repeal, waive, extend or discharge any provision of this
Agreement or anything in reference thereto.

          19.3. Insurance. The Company may, at its election and for its benefit, insure the

however, that no detailed information concerning the Executive’s physical
examination will be provided to the Company or made available to the Company by the insurance
company.

          19.4. Waiver of Breach. A waiver by the Company or the Executive of a breach of any
provision of this Agreement by the other party shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any
subsequent breach of the other party.

          19.5. Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this
Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement.

such federal, state or local taxes as shall be required to be withheld pursuant to any applicable
law or regulation.

          19.8. Entire Agreement. This Agreement contains the entire agreement of the parties
with respect to the subject matter referred to herein and supersedes any and all prior
negotiations, understandings, arrangements, letters of intent, and agreements, whether written or
oral, between the Executive and the Company and its Affiliates, or any of its or their directors,
officers, employees or representatives with respect thereto.

          19.9. No Right of Employment. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as giving
the Executive any right to be retained in the employ of the Company or shall interfere in any way
with the right of the Company to terminate the Executive’s employment at any time, with or without
Cause.

          19.10. Unfunded Obligation. The obligations under this Agreement shall be unfunded.
Benefits payable under this Agreement shall be paid from the general assets of the Company. The
Company shall have no obligation to establish any fund or to set aside any assets to provide
benefits under this Agreement.

          19.11. Termination. Notwithstanding anything contained herein, this Agreement shall
automatically terminate and be of no further force and effect and no benefits shall be payable
hereunder in the event that the Company sells or otherwise disposes of any part of the business or
assets of the Company (other than such a sale or disposition which is part of a transaction or
series of transactions which would result in a Change in Control) and as a result of such
transaction, the Executive is offered employment by the buyer of such business or assets (the
“Buyer”) in an executive position with reasonably comparable status, compensation, benefits
and separation agreement and which is consistent with the Executive’s experience and education, but
the Executive declines to accept such offer.

          19.12. Term. The term of this Agreement shall commence from the Effective Date and
shall continue until the third (3rd) anniversary of the Effective Date; provided,
however, that commencing on the second (2nd) anniversary of the Effective Date (and each
anniversary of the Effective Date thereafter), the term of this Agreement shall automatically be
extended for one (1) additional year, unless at least ninety (90) days prior to such date, the
Company or the Executive shall give written notice to the other party that it or he, as the case
may be, does not wish to so extend this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company
gives such written notice to the Executive less than one (1) year after a Change in
Control, the term of this Agreement shall be automatically extended until the later of (a) the
date that is one (1) year after the anniversary of the Effective Date that follows such written
notice or (b) the second (2nd) anniversary of the Change in Control Date.
