Ladies and Gentlemen: 
 You have
advised Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated (or any of its affiliates designated to act in such capacity, “MLPFS”), Bank of America, N.A. (“Bank of America”),
Société Générale (“SG”), SG Americas Securities, LLC (“SGAS”), Bank of Montreal (“BMO”), BMO, acting through its trade name BMO Capital Markets, and
JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMCB” and, together with MLPFS, Bank of America, SG, SGAS, BMO and any other initial lender or joint lead arranger that becomes a party hereto with your consent in accordance with the terms hereof
after the date hereof and the respective affiliates of each of the foregoing, “we”, “us” or the “Commitment Parties”) that you or a newly created entity formed at your direction
(“Merger Sub”) intend to acquire (the “Acquisition”), directly or indirectly, an entity previously identified to us by you as “Oscar” (the “Company”).
You have further advised us that, in connection with the foregoing, you intend to obtain up to $145.0 million in senior secured revolving credit and term loan facilities on the terms described in the Term Sheet (as defined below) (the
“Credit Facilities”) in connection therewith (collectively, together with the Acquisition, the “Transactions”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in
the Summary of Principal Terms and Conditions attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Term Sheet”; this commitment letter, the Term Sheet and the Summary of Additional Conditions attached hereto as Exhibit B, collectively, the
“Commitment Letter”). 

 1. Commitments. 

In connection with the Transactions, each of Bank of America, SG, BMO and JPMCB (together with any other initial lender that becomes a
party hereto, each an “Initial Lender” and, collectively, the “Initial Lenders”) is pleased to advise you of its several, but not joint, commitment to provide (A) with respect to Bank America,
(i) 40% of each Term Facility and (ii) 40% of each Revolving Facility, (B) with respect to SG, (i) 40% of each Term Facility and (ii) 40% of each Revolving Facility, (C) with respect to BMO, (i) 10% of each Term
Facility and (ii) 10% of each Revolving Facility and (D) with respect to JPMCB, (i) 10% of each Term Facility and (ii) 10% of each Revolving Facility, in each case subject only to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in
Section 6 hereof, the section entitled “Conditions Precedent to Each Borrowing” in the Term Sheet and in the Summary of Additional Conditions attached hereto as Exhibit B. 

2. Titles and Roles. 
 It is agreed that (a) each of MLPFS and SG Americas Securities will act as a joint lead arranger and a joint bookrunner for the Credit Facilities (each, in such capacities, a “Lead
Arranger”), (b) Bank of America will act as administrative agent and collateral agent (in each such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”) for each of the Credit Facilities, (c) SGAS will act as
syndication agent and (d) each of BMO, acting through its trade name BMO Capital Markets, and JPMCB will act as co-documentation agents, all upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth or referred to in this Commitment Letter. You
further agree that no other agents, co-agents, arrangers or bookrunners will be appointed, no other titles will be awarded and no compensation (other than as expressly contemplated by this Commitment Letter and the Fee Letter (as defined below))
will be paid in connection with the Credit Facilities unless you and we shall so agree. 
 3. Syndication. 

The Lead Arrangers reserve the right, after your execution of this Commitment Letter and prior to or after the Closing Date, to syndicate
all or a portion of each Initial Lender’s respective commitment hereunder to a group of banks, financial institutions and other institutional lenders and investors (together with the Initial Lenders, the “Lenders”)
identified by the Lead Arrangers, in consultation with you, to be approached in such syndication (such Lenders to be approached to be reasonably acceptable to us and you, our and your consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned)
(it being understood and agreed that nothing in this Section 3 shall prevent or limit assignments or participations of the Credit Facilities after the Closing Date in accordance with, and as permitted by, the provisions contained in the Term
Sheet); provided that (a) we agree not to syndicate our commitments to certain banks, financial institutions and other institutional lenders and any competitors of Tornier, N.V. and its subsidiaries (including you) (collectively, the
“Tornier Group”) or the Company and its subsidiaries, in each case, that have been specified to us by you in writing at any time prior to the date hereof (collectively, “Disqualified Lenders”) and
(b) notwithstanding each Lead Arranger’s right to syndicate the Credit Facilities and receive commitments with respect thereto, in each case unless you expressly agree in writing, (i) no Commitment Party shall be relieved, released or
novated from its obligations hereunder (including its obligation to fund the Credit Facilities on the Closing Date subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 6 hereof, the section entitled “Conditions Precedent to
Each Borrowing” in the Term Sheet and in Exhibit B hereto) in 

  
 2 

 
connection with or as a result of any difficulties regarding any syndication, assignment or participation of the Credit Facilities, including its commitments in respect thereof, until after the
Closing Date has occurred, (ii) no assignment or novation shall become effective with respect to all or any portion of either Initial Lender’s commitment in respect of the Credit Facilities until the initial funding of the Credit
Facilities and (iii) each Initial Lender shall retain exclusive control over (and shall not directly or indirectly agree to accept direction from, or accept direction from, any third party with respect to) all rights and obligations with
respect to its commitments in respect of the Credit Facilities, this Commitment Letter and the Fee Letter, including all rights with respect to consents, modifications, supplements, waivers and amendments, until the Closing Date has occurred.

 Without limiting your obligations to assist with syndication efforts as set forth herein, it is
understood that Initial Lenders commitments hereunder are not conditioned upon the syndication of, or receipt of commitments in respect of, all or any portion of the Credit Facilities and in no event shall the commencement or successful completion
of syndication of the Credit Facilities constitute a condition to the availability of the Credit Facilities on the Closing Date. The Lead Arrangers shall have the right to commence syndication efforts promptly upon the execution of this Commitment
Letter; it is our intent to have lenders commit to the Credit Facilities (subject to the limitations set forth in the preceding paragraph) as soon as practicable after your execution of this Commitment Letter. Commencing on the date hereof and until
the earlier of (a) the date upon which a Successful Syndication (as defined in the Fee Letter referred to below) of the Credit Facilities is achieved and (b) the 60th day following the Closing Date (such earlier date, the “Syndication Date”), you agree actively
to assist us in seeking to complete a timely syndication that is reasonably satisfactory to us and you. Such assistance shall include, without limitation, (a) your using commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that any syndication efforts
benefit materially from your existing lending and investment banking relationships and, to the extent practical and appropriate, the Company’s existing lending and investment banking relationships, (b) direct contact between senior
management, certain of your representatives and certain of your advisors, on the one hand, and the proposed Lenders, on the other hand (and your using commercially reasonable efforts to ensure direct contact between senior management of the Company,
on the one hand, and the proposed Lenders, on the other hand), in all such cases at times mutually and reasonably agreed upon, (c) your assistance (including the use of commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Company to assist) in the
preparation of the Information Memorandum (as defined below) to be used in connection with the syndication and in any event, no later than 20 calendar days prior to the Closing Date, and the other Information Materials (as defined below),
(d) your hosting, with the Lead Arrangers, of up to two, or such additional number as may be reasonably requested by the Lead Arrangers and mutually and reasonably agreed upon, meetings with prospective Lenders at times and locations to be
mutually agreed upon (and your using commercially reasonable efforts to cause certain officers of the Company to be available for such meetings), (e) your providing or causing to be provided a business plan or projections of the Tornier Group
for the fiscal years 2012 through 2018 and for the four quarters beginning with the fourth quarter of 2012 (the “Projections”), (f) to promptly prepare and provide (and to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the
Company to provide) to us all customary information with respect to the Tornier Group, the Company and each of its respective subsidiaries and the Transactions as the Lead Arrangers may reasonably request in connection with the structuring,
arrangement and syndication of the Credit Facilities 

  
 3 

 
and (g) there being no competing issues, offerings, placements or arrangements of debt securities or commercial bank or other credit facilities by or on behalf of the Tornier Group, the
Company or any of its subsidiaries being offered, placed or arranged (other than the Credit Facilities or any indebtedness of the Company and its subsidiaries permitted to be incurred pursuant to the Merger Agreement (as defined in Exhibit B)
without the consent of the Lead Arrangers (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), if such issuance, offering, placement or arrangement would have, in the reasonable judgment of the Lead Arrangers, a detrimental effect
upon the primary syndication of the Credit Facilities. 
 The Lead Arrangers, in their capacity as such, will manage, in
consultation with you, all aspects of any syndication of the Credit Facilities, including decisions as to the selection of Lenders reasonably acceptable to you to be approached (the Lenders to be approached to be subject to our and your consent
rights set forth in the second preceding paragraph and excluding in any event Disqualified Lenders) and when they will be approached, when their commitments will be accepted, which institutions will participate, the allocation of the commitments
among the Lenders and the amount and distribution of fees among the Lenders. For the avoidance of doubt, you will not be required to provide any information to the extent that the provision thereof would violate any law, rule or regulation, or any
obligation of confidentiality binding upon you, the Company or any of your respective affiliates; provided that you shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide such information without causing any such a violation. Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, the only financial statements that shall be required to be provided to the Commitment Parties in connection with the syndication of the Credit Facilities shall be those required to be delivered pursuant to Exhibit B
hereto. 
 You hereby acknowledge that (a) the Lead Arrangers will make available Information (as defined below),
Projections and other offering and marketing material and presentations, including confidential information memoranda to be used in connection with the syndication of the Credit Facilities (the “Information Memorandum”) (such
Information, Projections, other offering and marketing material and the Information Memorandum, collectively, with the Term Sheet, the “Information Materials”) on a confidential basis to the proposed syndicate of Lenders by
posting the Information Materials on Intralinks, Debt X, SyndTrak Online or by similar electronic means and (b) certain of the Lenders may be “public side” Lenders (i.e., Lenders that do not wish to receive information that is
(i) not of a type that would be publicly available if you and the Company were public reporting companies and (ii) material non-public information with respect to you, the Company or its subsidiaries or any of your or the Company’s
respective securities for purposes of foreign, United States Federal and state securities laws (such information, “MNPI”) and who may be engaged in investment and other market related activities with respect to you or the
Company or your or the Company’s respective securities) (each, a “Public Sider” and each Lender that is not a Public Sider, a “Private Sider”). 

You agree to assist (and to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Company to assist) us in preparing an additional version of
the Information Materials to be used in connection with the syndication of the Credit Facilities that consists exclusively of information of a type that is publicly available and/or does not include MNPI with respect to Holdings or the Company or
any of their respective subsidiaries for the purpose of United States federal and state securities laws to be used by Public Siders. The information to be included in the additional version of the

  
 4 

 
Information Materials will be substantially consistent with information that would be included in filings made by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission were it a public
reporting company. It is understood that in connection with your assistance described above, the Borrower shall provide us with customary authorization letters for inclusion in any Information Materials that authorize the distribution thereof to
prospective Lenders, represent that the additional version of the Information Materials does not include any MNPI and exculpate you, the Investors, the Company and us with respect to any liability related to the use or misuse of the contents of the
Information Materials or related offering and marketing materials by the recipients thereof. Before distribution of any Information Materials, you agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to identify that portion of the Information Materials
that may be distributed to the Public Siders as “Public Information”, which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof. By marking Information Materials as
“PUBLIC”, you shall be deemed to have authorized the Commitment Parties and the proposed Lenders to treat such Information Materials as not containing any MNPI (it being understood that you shall not be under any obligation to mark the
Information Materials “PUBLIC”). 
 You acknowledge and agree that the following documents, without limitation, may be
distributed to both Private Siders and Public Siders, unless you advise the Lead Arrangers in writing (including by email) within a reasonable time prior to its intended distribution that such materials should only be distributed to Private Siders:
(a) administrative materials prepared by the Lead Arrangers for prospective Lenders (such as a lender meeting invitation, bank allocation, if any, and funding and closing memoranda), (b) term sheets and notification of changes in the
Credit Facilities’ terms and conditions, (c) drafts and final versions of the Facilities Documentation and (d) publicly filed financial statements, if any, of the Company and its subsidiaries. If you advise us in writing (including by
email), within a reasonable period of time prior to dissemination, that any of the foregoing should be distributed only to Private Siders, then Public Siders will not receive such materials without your consent. 

4. Information. 
 You hereby represent and warrant that, (a) all written information and written data, other than the Projections and other than information of a general economic or industry specific nature (the
“Information”), that has been or will be made available to any Commitment Party directly or indirectly by you, the Company (to the extent such information has been made available at your direction) or by any of your or their
respective representatives on your behalf in connection with the Transactions (which information shall be to the best of your knowledge to the extent it relates to the Company or its subsidiaries and businesses), when taken as a whole, is or will
be, when furnished, correct in all material respects and does not or will not, when furnished, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein not
materially misleading in light of the circumstances under which such statements are made (giving effect to all supplements and updates provided thereto) and (b) the Projections that have been or will be made available to any Commitment Party by
you, the Company (at your direction) or by any of your or their respective representatives on your behalf in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby have been, or will be, prepared in good faith based upon assumptions that are believed
by you to be reasonable at the time prepared and at the time the related Projections are so furnished; it being understood that the 

  
 5 

 
Projections are as to future events and are not to be viewed as facts, that the Projections are subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond your control, that
no assurance can be given that any particular Projections will be realized and that actual results during the period or periods covered by any such Projections may differ significantly from the projected results and such differences may be material.
You agree that, if at any time prior to the Syndication Date, you become aware that any of the representations and warranties in the preceding sentence would be incorrect in any material respect if the Information and the Projections were being
furnished, and such representations were being made, at such time, then you will (or, with respect to the Information and Projections relating to the Company, will use commercially reasonable efforts to) promptly supplement the Information and the
Projections such that (with respect to the Information relating to the Company and its subsidiaries, to the best of your knowledge) such representations and warranties are correct in all material respects under those circumstances. In arranging and
syndicating the Credit Facilities, each of the Commitment Parties (a) will be entitled to use and rely primarily on the Information and the Projections without responsibility for independent verification thereof and (b) does not assume
responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of the Information or the Projections. 
 5. Fees. 

As consideration for the commitments of the Initial Lenders hereunder and for the agreement of Lead Arrangers to perform the services
described herein, you agree to pay (or cause to be paid) the fees set forth in the Term Sheet and in the Fee Letter dated the date hereof and delivered herewith with respect to the Credit Facilities (the “Fee Letter”). Once
paid, such fees shall not be refundable under any circumstances. 
 6. Conditions. 

The commitments of the Initial Lenders hereunder to fund the Credit Facilities on the Closing Date and the agreements of the Lead
Arrangers to perform the services described herein are subject solely to (a) the conditions set forth in this Section 6, (b) the conditions set forth in the section entitled “Conditions to the Borrowings on the Closing Date”
in Exhibit A hereto and (c) the conditions set forth in Exhibit B hereto, and upon satisfaction (or waiver by all Commitment Parties) of such conditions, the initial funding of the Credit Facilities shall occur. 

The commitments of the Initial Lenders hereunder and the agreements of the Lead Arrangers to perform the services described herein are
subject to the negotiation, execution and delivery of definitive documentation for the Credit Facilities (which you agree will be initially drafted by counsel to the Commitment Parties), including the Credit Agreement, the Security Documents and
related ancillary agreements, certificates, schedules and other documents, closing certificates (including a solvency certificate substantially in the form of Annex I hereto, evidences of authority, charter documents and officers’ incumbency
certificates) and customary legal opinions with respect to the Credit Facilities (collectively, the “Facilities Documentation”), in each case consistent with the Documentation Principles; provided that, notwithstanding
anything in this Commitment Letter (including each of the exhibits attached hereto), the Fee Letter, the Facilities Documentation or any other letter agreement or other undertaking concerning the financing of the Transactions to the contrary,
(i) the only representations relating to the Tornier Group or any member thereof, the Borrower, the 

  
 6 

 
Guarantors, the Company, the Investors (as defined below), your and their respective subsidiaries and your and their respective businesses the accuracy of which shall be a condition to the
availability of the Credit Facilities on the Closing Date shall be (A) such of the representations made by the Company or any of its affiliates with respect to the Company and its subsidiaries in the Merger Agreement (as defined in Exhibit B)
as are material to the interests of the Lenders, but only to the extent that you have the right (determined without regard to any notice requirements) to terminate your obligations under the Merger Agreement as a result of a breach of such
representations in the Merger Agreement (to such extent, the “Specified Merger Agreement Representations”) and (B) the Specified Representations (as defined below) made by the Borrower and the Guarantors in the
Facilities Documentation and (ii) the terms of the Facilities Documentation shall be in a form such that they do not impair the availability of the Credit Facilities on the Closing Date if the conditions set forth in this Section 6, in the
section entitled “Conditions to the Borrowings on the Closing Date” in Exhibit A hereto and in Exhibit B hereto are satisfied (it being understood that, to the extent any foreign guarantee or security interest in any Collateral (as defined
in Exhibit A) is not or cannot be provided and/or perfected on the Closing Date (other than the pledge and perfection of the security interests (1) in the equity securities of the Borrower and any domestic subsidiaries of the Borrower (to the
extent (i) required by Exhibit A or (ii) if certificated and pledged to the Company’s existing financing source, such certificates are obtained from such financing source prior to the Closing Date) and (2) in other assets with
respect to which a lien may be perfected by the filing of a financing statement under the Uniform Commercial Code) after your use of commercially reasonable efforts to do so or without undue burden or expense, then the provision and/or perfection of
such guarantee or a security interest in such Collateral shall not constitute a condition precedent to the availability of the Credit Facilities on the Closing Date, but instead shall be required to be delivered after the Closing Date pursuant to
arrangements and timing to be mutually agreed by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower acting reasonably but in any event no later than 90 days following the Closing Date (or such later date as may be reasonably agreed between the Administrative
Agent and the Borrower)). For purposes hereof, “Specified Representations” means the representations and warranties of the Borrower and the Guarantors set forth in the Facilities Documentation relating to corporate or other
organizational existence, power and authority, due authorization, execution and delivery and enforceability and no conflicts with laws or charter documents, in each case, related to, the entering into and performance of the Facilities Documentation;
solvency as of the Closing Date (after giving effect to the Transactions) of Holdings and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis; Federal Reserve margin regulations; the Investment Company Act; and, subject to the parenthetical in the immediately
preceding sentence, creation, validity and perfection of security interests in the Collateral. This paragraph, and the provisions herein, shall be referred to as the “Certain Funds Provisions”. 

7. Indemnity. 
 To induce the Commitment Parties to enter into this Commitment Letter and the Fee Letter and to proceed with the documentation of the Credit Facilities, you agree (a) to indemnify and hold harmless
each Commitment Party, their respective affiliates and the respective officers, directors, employees, agents, controlling persons, advisors and other representatives and their successors and permitted assigns of each of the foregoing (each, an
“Indemnified Person”), from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities of any kind or nature and 

  
 7 

 
reasonable and documented and invoiced out-of-pocket fees and expenses (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel), to which any such
Indemnified Person may become subject to the extent arising out of, resulting from or in connection with, this Commitment Letter (including the Term Sheet), the Fee Letter, the Transactions or any related transaction contemplated hereby, the Credit
Facilities or any use of the proceeds thereof or any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding (including any inquiry or investigation) relating to any of the foregoing (any of the foregoing, a “Proceeding”), regardless
of whether any such Indemnified Person is a party thereto, whether or not such Proceedings are brought by you, your equity holders, affiliates, creditors or any other third person, and to reimburse each such Indemnified Person upon demand for any
reasonable and documented and invoiced out-of-pocket legal expenses of one firm of counsel for all such Indemnified Persons, taken as a whole and, if necessary, of a single local counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction (which may include a single
special counsel acting in multiple jurisdictions) for all such Indemnified Persons, taken as a whole (and, in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest where the Indemnified Person affected by such conflict informs you of such conflict
and thereafter retains its own counsel, of another firm of counsel for such affected Indemnified Person) or other reasonable and documented and invoiced out-of-pocket fees and expenses incurred in connection with investigating or defending any of
the foregoing; provided that the foregoing indemnity will not, as to any Indemnified Person, apply to losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses to the extent that they have resulted from (i) the willful misconduct, bad
faith or gross negligence of such Indemnified Person or any of such Indemnified Person’s affiliates or any of its or their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, controlling persons, advisors or other representatives (as determined
by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision), (ii) a material breach of the obligations of such Indemnified Person or any of such Indemnified Person’s affiliates under this Commitment Letter, the Term Sheet
or the Fee Letter (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision) or (iii) any Proceeding that does not involve an act or omission by you or any of your affiliates (as determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision) and that is brought by an Indemnified Person against any other Indemnified Person (other than claims against the Lead Arrangers or the Administrative Agent in acting in such capacity)
and (b) to the extent the Closing Date occurs, to reimburse each Commitment Party from time to time, upon presentation of a summary statement, for all reasonable and documented and invoiced out-of-pocket expenses (including but not limited to
reasonable and documented and invoiced fees and expenses of each Commitment Party’s consultants (to the extent any such consultant has been retained with your prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or
delayed)), syndication expenses, travel expenses and reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel to the Commitment Parties identified in the Term Sheet and of a single local counsel to the Commitment Parties in each appropriate
jurisdiction (which may include a single special counsel acting in multiple jurisdictions) and of such other counsel retained with your prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed)), in each case
incurred in connection with the Credit Facilities and the preparation, negotiation and enforcement of this Commitment Letter, the Fee Letter, the Facilities Documentation and any security arrangements in connection therewith (collectively, the
“Expenses”). The foregoing provisions in this paragraph shall be superseded in each case, to the extent covered thereby, by the applicable provisions contained in the Facilities Documentation upon execution thereof and
thereafter shall have no further force and effect. You acknowledge that we may receive a benefit, including without limitation, a discount, credit or other accommodation, from any of such counsel based on the fees such counsel may receive on account
of their relationship with us including, without limitation, fees paid pursuant hereto. 

  
 8 

 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Commitment Letter, (a) no Indemnified
Person shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by others of information or other materials obtained through internet, electronic, telecommunications or other information transmission systems, except to the extent that such damages have
resulted from the willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence of such Indemnified Person or any of such Indemnified Person’s affiliates or any of its or their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors or other
representatives (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision) and (b) none of we, you, the Investors (as defined below), the Company or any affiliates of any of the foregoing or any officer,
director, employee, agent, controlling person, advisor or other representative of the foregoing or any successor or permitted assign of any of the foregoing shall be liable for any indirect, special, punitive or consequential damages (including,
without limitation, any loss of profits, business or anticipated savings) (other than, in the case of you, in respect of any such damages incurred or paid by an Indemnified Party to a third party) in connection with this Commitment Letter, the Fee
Letter, the Transactions (including the Credit Facilities and the use of proceeds thereunder), or with respect to any activities related to the Credit Facilities, including the preparation of this Commitment Letter, the Fee Letter and the Facilities
Documentation; provided that nothing contained in this paragraph shall limit your indemnity and reimbursement obligations to the extent set forth in the immediately preceding paragraph. 

You shall not be liable for any settlement of any Proceeding effected without your consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld, conditioned or delayed), but if settled with your written consent or if there is a final and non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction for the plaintiff in any such Proceeding, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless
each Indemnified Person from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses by reason of such settlement or judgment in accordance with the other provisions of this Section 7. 

You shall not, without the prior written consent of any Indemnified Person (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned
or delayed), effect any settlement of any pending or threatened Proceedings in respect of which indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person unless such settlement (a) includes an unconditional release of such
Indemnified Person in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person from all liability or claims that are the subject matter of such Proceedings and (b) does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault,
culpability, wrong doing or a failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified Person. It is further agreed that the Commitment Parties shall be severally liable in respect of their respective commitments to the Credit Facilities, on a several, and

trading with any thereof. 
 The Commitment Parties and their respective affiliates may have economic interests that conflict
with those of the Company and you. You agree that the Commitment Parties will act under this letter as independent contractors and that nothing in this Commitment Letter or the Fee Letter will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency
relationship or fiduciary or other implied duty between the Commitment Parties and you and the Company, your and their respective equity holders or your and their respective affiliates. You acknowledge and agree that (a) the transactions
contemplated by this Commitment Letter and the Fee Letter are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Commitment Parties and their affiliates, on the one hand, and you and the Company, on the other, (b) in connection therewith and

creditors, affiliates or any other person, (c) the Commitment Parties and their applicable affiliates (as the case may be) have not assumed an advisory or fiduciary 

  
 10

process leading thereto. 
 9. Confidentiality. 
 You agree that you will not disclose, directly or indirectly, the Fee Letter and the contents thereof or, prior to your acceptance hereof, this Commitment Letter, the Term Sheet, the other exhibits and

exists or would exist after giving effect thereto, (d) all financial covenants would be satisfied on a pro forma basis on the date of incurrence as of the last day of the most recently ended fiscal quarter for which financial information has

customary and appropriate pro forma adjustment events, including any other acquisitions or dispositions after the beginning of the relevant determination period but prior to or simultaneous with the borrowing of such Additional Term Loans or
establishment of such Additional Revolving Credit Commitments, (e) the maturity date of the Additional Term Loans shall be no earlier than the maturity date of the applicable Term Facility, (f) the average life to maturity of the Additional Term

three year life to maturity) and (h) the other terms and documentation in the respect thereof, to the extent not consistent with the Credit Facilities, shall otherwise be satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (such satisfaction not to be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). The Borrower may (but is not required to) seek commitments in respect of Additional Term Loans or Additional Revolving Credit Commitments from existing Lenders (each of which shall be entitled to agree
or decline to participate in its sole discretion, to the extent so requested) and additional banks, financial institutions and other institutional lenders who will become Lenders in connection therewith (subject to the consent of the Administrative
Agent, Swingline Lender and Issuing Bank in each case , if such consent would be required under the heading “Assignments and Participations” for an assignment of loans or commitments with respect to such Credit Facility). The terms and
provisions of the Additional Revolving Credit Commitments shall be identical to those of the commitments under the Revolving Facilities.

		
	Documentation:	  	The definitive documentation for the Credit Facilities, including the credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”), the Security Documents (as defined below)
and related ancillary agreements, certificates, schedules and other documents (a) will be substantially identical to the credit agreement and related documentation entered into by EIG Investors Corp. (the “Precedent Credit
Agreement”), as in effect on its closing date and (b) will contain only those representations, warranties, covenants and events of default and other terms expressly set forth in this Term Sheet (subject to changes permitted
pursuant to the “flex” provisions contained in the Fee Letter), together with other customary loan document provisions to be mutually agreed upon (it being understood and agreed that the definitive terms of which will be negotiated in good
faith to give due regard to the terms of the Transactions (including the size of the Credit Facilities and the pro forma leverage profile of the Borrower) and differences related to the Borrower, the Company and their businesses (including the
consolidated results of operations of the Borrower and the Company at that time and the

  
 A-4

			
		  	industry in which they operate), and, in respect of the Security Documents, any local law requirements and/or as is customary under foreign law for transactions of this type and
shall be consistent with this Term Sheet (collectively, the “Documentation Principles”).
		
	Purpose:	  	 (A)   The proceeds of the Term Facilities will be used by the Borrower, on the date of the initial borrowing
thereunder (the “Closing Date”), solely to (i) to pay the consideration payable to the Sellers under the Merger Agreement in connection with the Acquisition, (ii) to pay the fees and expenses incurred in connection with the
Transactions and (iii) to repay existing indebtedness of the Tornier Group and the Company and its subsidiaries.

		
		  	 (B)   The letters of credit and proceeds of loans under the Revolving Facilities will be used by the Borrower and
its subsidiaries from time to time for working capital and other general corporate purposes (including, without limitation, financing permitted acquisitions and for any other purpose not prohibited by the Facilities
Documentation).

		
	Availability:	  	 (A)   Each Term Facility will be available in a single drawing on the Closing Date. Amounts borrowed under the
Term Facilities that are repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed.

		
		  	 (B)   The loans under each Revolving Facility will be available at any time after the Closing Date and prior to
the final maturity of such Revolving Facility, in minimum principal amounts and upon notice to be agreed upon; provided that loans under the Revolving Facilities may be borrowed on the Closing Date to fund any upfront fees resulting from the
exercise of the flex provisions set forth in the Fee Letter and letters of credit in an amount to be mutually agreed upon may be issued on the Closing Date in order to, among other things, backstop or replace letters of credit outstanding on the
Closing Date under facilities no longer available to the Borrower or its subsidiaries as of the Closing Date. Amounts repaid under the Revolving Facilities may be reborrowed.

		
	Interest Rates and Fees:	  	As set forth on Annex I hereto.
		
	Default Rate:	  	Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any payment or bankruptcy Event of Default, with respect to all overdue principal owing under the Credit Facilities, the applicable
interest rate (including those obligations which are determined by reference to the rate applicable to any other obligation) plus 2.00%, and with respect to any other overdue amount (including overdue interest), the interest rate applicable to Base
Rate loans plus 2.00% per annum.

  
 A-5

			
		
	Letters of Credit:	  	Subject to customary provisions in the event of defaulting Lenders, letters of credit under each Revolving Facility will be issued by Bank of America or an affiliate thereof or
another Lender acceptable to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (the “Issuing Bank”). Each letter of credit shall expire not later than the earlier of (a) twelve months after its date of issuance and (b) the fifth
business day prior to the final maturity of such Revolving Facility; provided, however, that any letter of credit may provide for renewal thereof for additional periods of up to 12 months (which in no event shall extend beyond the date
referred to in clause (b) above except to the extent cash collateralized or backstopped pursuant to arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the relevant Issuing Bank). The face amount of any outstanding letter of credit issued under the Revolving
Facilities (and, without duplication, any unpaid drawing in respect thereof) will reduce availability under the applicable Revolving Facility on a dollar-for-dollar (or equivalent) basis.
		
		  	Drawings under any letter of credit shall be reimbursed by the Borrower (whether with its own funds or with proceeds of loans under such Revolving Facility) by the next business
day. To the extent that the Borrower does not reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank on such day, the Lenders under such Revolving Facility shall be irrevocably obligated to reimburse the Issuing Bank pro rata based upon their respective Revolving
Facility commitments.
		
		  	The issuance of all letters of credit shall be subject to the customary procedures of the Issuing Bank.
		
	Final Maturity and
Amortization:	  	 (A)   Term Facilities

thereunder will terminate on the date that is five years after the Closing Date.

cash management arrangements entered into with the Administrative Agent, the Lead Arrangers, an entity that is a Lender under the Credit Facilities at the time of such transaction or any affiliate of any of the foregoing, whether or not it continues
to be a Lender or an affiliate (“Hedging and Cash Management Arrangements”), will be guaranteed to the extent permitted by applicable law (the “Guarantees”) by Holdings, Tornier US Holdings, Inc.,
Tornier SAS, Tornier Orthopedics, Ltd., Tornier UK Ltd. and by each existing or subsequently acquired or organized direct or indirect wholly owned restricted subsidiary of the Borrower (the “Subsidiary Guarantors” and,
collectively, with Holdings, Tornier US Holdings, Inc., Tornier SAS, Tornier Orthopedics, Ltd., Tornier UK Ltd., the “Guarantors”; the Borrower and the Guarantors are referred to collectively herein as the “Credit
Parties”); provided that the Guarantors shall not include: (a) unrestricted subsidiaries, (b) immaterial subsidiaries (to be defined in a mutually acceptable manner as to the revenues or assets of such immaterial subsidiaries),
(c) any subsidiary whose provision of a Guarantee would constitute an investment in “United States property” by a controlled foreign corporation within the meaning of section 956 and 957 of the IRS Code (or any similar law or regulation in
any applicable jurisdiction) or otherwise result in a material adverse tax consequence, (d) any subsidiary that is prohibited by applicable law, rule or regulation or (with respect to the Company and its subsidiaries, by any contractual obligation
existing on the Closing Date from guaranteeing the Credit Facilities or which would require governmental (including regulatory) or third party

  
 A-7

			
		  	consent, approval, license or authorization to provide a Guarantee unless such consent, approval, license or authorization has been received after having used commercially
reasonable efforts to receive the same, (e) any subsidiary whose provision of a Guarantee would conflict with the fiduciary duties of the directors, contravene any legal prohibition on the directors or result in personal or criminal liability or
significant risk of legal liability and (f) any subsidiary not required to grant security pursuant to the Agreed Security Principles (as defined below).
		
		  	Notwithstanding the foregoing, subsidiaries may be excluded from the guarantee requirements in circumstances where the Borrower and the Administrative Agent reasonably agree that
the cost of providing such a guarantee is excessive in relation to the value afforded thereby.
		
	Security:	  	The Credit Facilities, the Guarantees and any Hedging and Cash Management Arrangements (including those in existence on the Closing Date) will be secured by a first priority
(subject to permitted liens) security interest in substantially all existing and after-acquired assets of the Credit Parties (other than with respect to the Credit Parties located in France, as set forth below) (collectively, subject to exclusions

 ANNEX I 
  

			
	Interest Rates:	  	The interest rates under the Credit Facilities will be as follows:
		
		  	 With respect to the Multicurrency Revolving Facility and the USD Term Loan Facility: At the option of the Borrower, (i) if the Leverage
Ratio is greater than 2.50 to 1.00, Eurodollar plus 3.25% or Base Rate plus 2.25% and (ii) if the Leverage Ratio is equal to or less than 2.50 to 1.00, Eurodollar plus 3.00% or Base Rate plus 2.00%.

 
 With respect to the EUR Revolving Facility and the EUR Term Loan Facility: At the
option of the Borrower, (i) if the Leverage Ratio is greater than 2.50 to 1.00, Eurodollar plus 4.25% or Base Rate plus 3.25% and (ii) if the Leverage Ratio is equal to or less than 2.50 to 1.00, Eurodollar plus 4.00% or Base Rate plus
3.00%.

		
		  	The Borrower may elect interest periods of 1, 2, 3 or 6 months or, to the extent agreed to by all relevant Lenders, 9 or 12 months, for Eurodollar Rate borrowings.
		
		  	 Calculation of interest shall be on the basis of the actual days elapsed in a year of 360 days (or 365 or 366 days, as the case may be,
in the case of Base Rate loans based on the “prime rate”) and interest shall be payable at the end of each interest period and, in any event, at least every three months.

 
 The Base Rate is the greatest of the Administrative Agent’s “prime
rate”, the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus 1/2 of 1.00% and the Eurodollar Rate for a one-month interest period plus 1.00%.
  

Eurodollar Rate will at all times include statutory reserves consistent with the Documentation Principles and, solely with respect to Term Loans issues
having a Eurodollar Rate, will be deemed to be not less than 1.00%.

		
	Letter of Credit Fees:	  	A per annum fee equal to the spread over the Eurodollar Rate under the applicable Revolving Facility will accrue on the daily maximum amount then available to be drawn under
outstanding letters of credit under such Revolving Facility, payable in arrears at the end of each quarter and upon the termination of the respective letter of credit, in each case for the actual number of days elapsed over a 360-day year. Such fees

agreements, representations and warranties and obligations of Borrower set forth in the Loan Documents, as modified and amended hereby. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that, if and to the extent that Lender has not heretofore required strict
compliance with the performance of such covenants, agreements and obligations, such action or inaction shall not constitute a waiver of, or otherwise affect in any manner, Lender’s rights and remedies under the Loan Documents, as amended
hereby, including the right to require performance of such covenants, agreements and obligations strictly in accordance with the terms and provisions thereof. Lender reserves all of its rights and remedies under the Loan Documents and all of its
rights and remedies which it has against any guarantor or endorser of the Notes.

for the New Loan; (ii) Lender expressly reserves all of its rights in the loan application; and (iii) Lender has no obligation to accept the loan application, or close and fund the New Loan and that Lender has made no assurances that the
New Loan will be closed and funded.

which when executed and delivered to Lender will be deemed to be an original, and all of which, taken together, will be deemed to be one and the same instrument. This agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the
State of California. If any court of competent jurisdiction determines any provision of this agreement or any of the Loan Documents to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that portion shall be deemed severed from the rest, which shall remain in
full force and effect as though the invalid, illegal or unenforceable portion had never been a part hereof or of the Loan Documents. On behalf of itself and all of its constituents, Borrower hereby agrees and consents to the exclusive jurisdiction
and venue of the state courts of California and the federal courts of the United States having territorial jurisdiction where the Property is located. Borrower agrees to execute such other documents and instruments reasonably required by Lender to
