Change in Control Severance Agreement

This Change in Control Severance Agreement (“Agreement”) is made by and between Zimmer Pte. Ltd. (“Employer” or “Company” as the case may be) and Chintan Desai (“Executive”) (each, a “Party” and together, the “Parties”).

Recitals

 (A)

The Company considers it essential to the best interests of its ultimate shareholders to foster the continuous employment of key management personnel.

 (B)

The Company and the Board recognize that, as is the case with many publicly held corporations, the possibility of a Change in Control in the Ultimate Parent Company exists and that such a possibility, and the uncertainty and questions that it may raise among management, may result in the departure or distraction of management personnel to the detriment of the Company and its shareholders.

 (C)

The Board has determined that appropriate steps should be taken to reinforce and encourage the continued attention and dedication of members of the Company’s management, including the Executive, to their assigned duties without distraction in the face of potentially disturbing circumstances arising from the possibility of a Change in Control.

 (D)

The Parties intend that no amount or benefit will be payable under this Agreement unless a termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company occurs following a Change in Control, or is deemed to have occurred following a Change in Control, as provided in this Agreement.

Defined terms as used herein and not defined elsewhere in this Agreement, shall have the meaning as described to them in Annex 1 to this Agreement.

1.

Term of Agreement

This Agreement will commence on the date stated below and will continue in effect through December 31, 2026. Beginning on January 1, 2027, and each subsequent January 1, the term of this Agreement will automatically be extended for one additional year, unless either Party gives the other Party written notice not to extend this Agreement at least 30 days before the extension would otherwise become effective or unless a Change in Control occurs. If a Change in Control occurs during the term of this Agreement, this Agreement will continue in effect for a period of 24 months from the end of the month in which the

 

 

Change in Control occurs. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 1, this Agreement will terminate on the Executive’s retirement date (as set out in the Employment Agreement).

2.

Compensation other than Severance Payments

2.1.

  Compensation Previously Earned

If the Executive’s employment is terminated for any reason following a Change in Control and during the term of this Agreement, the Company will pay the Executive’s salary accrued through the Date of Termination, at the rate in effect at the time the Notice of Termination is given, together with all other compensation and benefits payable to the Executive through the Date of Termination under the terms of any compensation or benefit plan, program, or arrangement maintained by the Company during that period.

2.2.

  Normal Post-Termination Compensation and Benefits.

Except as provided in Section 3.1, if the Executive’s employment is terminated for any reason following a Change in Control and during the term of this Agreement, the Company will pay the Executive the normal compensation and benefits payable to the Executive under the terms of the Company’s compensation or benefit plans, programs, and arrangements, as in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control, including but not limited to the Non-Competition Period Payments (if any). This provision does not restrict the Company’s right to amend, modify, or terminate any plan, program, or arrangement prior to a Change in Control.

2.3.

  No Duplication.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Executive will not be entitled to duplicate benefits or compensation under this Agreement and the terms of any other plan, program, or arrangement maintained by the Company or any affiliate.

3.

Severance Payments

3.1.

  Payment Triggers

In addition to the payments as set out in Section 2 above, but in lieu of any other severance compensation or benefits to which the Executive may otherwise be entitled under any plan, program, policy, or arrangement of the Company, the Company will pay the Executive the Severance Payments described in Section 3.2 upon termination of the Executive’s employment following a Change in Control and during the term of this Agreement, unless the termination is (1) by the Company for Cause, (2) by reason of the Executive’s death, or (3) by the Executive without Good Reason.

2 / 15

Change in Control Severance Agreement

 

For purposes of this Section 3.1, the Executive’s employment will be deemed to have been terminated following a Change in Control by the Company without Cause or by the Executive with Good Reason if (1) the Executive’s employment is terminated without Cause prior to a Change in Control at the direction of a Person who has entered into an agreement with the Ultimate Parent Company, the consummation of which will constitute a Change in Control; or (2) the Executive terminates his employment with Good Reason prior to a Change in Control (determined by treating a Potential Change in Control as a Change in Control in applying the definition of Good Reason), if the circumstance or event that constitutes Good Reason occurs at the direction of such a Person.

The Severance Payments described in this Section 3 are subject to the conditions stated in Section 4 below and shall be reduced in part or in their totality if and to the extent the Severance Payments were, at the time of their payment, to be deemed a golden parachute or similar arrangement prohibited under the laws where the Company is incorporated and has its registered office or the costs associated with the Severance Payments could no longer be booked as expenditures in the Company’s profit and loss statement.

3.2.

  Severance Payments.

The following are the Severance Payments referenced in Section 3.1:

(a)

Lump Sum Severance Payment

In lieu of any further salary payments to the Executive for periods after the Date of Termination, and in lieu of any severance benefits otherwise payable to the Executive, the Company will pay to the Executive, in accordance with Section 3.3, a lump sum severance payment, in cash, equal to (a) two times the sum of (1) the higher of the Executive’s annual base salary in effect immediately prior to the giving of the Notice of Termination or in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control, plus (2) the amount of the Executive’s target annual bonus entitlement under the Cash Incentive Plan (or any other bonus plan of the Company then in effect) as in effect immediately prior to the giving of the Notice of Termination, less (b) the amount of any statutory payment to which the Executive is entitled related to any statutory notice period and (c) any mandatory statutory deductions and tax withholding, if applicable. If the Board determines that it is not workable to determine the amount that the Executive’s target bonus would have been for the year in which the Notice of Termination was given, then, for purposes of this paragraph (a), the Executive’s target annual bonus entitlement will be the average of annual bonus paid to the Executive with respect to the three years immediately prior to the year in which the Notice of Termination was given.

3 / 15

Change in Control Severance Agreement

 

(b)

Options and Restricted Shares

All outstanding Options will become immediately vested and exercisable (to the extent not yet vested and exercisable as of the Date of Termination). To the extent not otherwise provided under the written agreement evidencing the grant of any restricted Shares to the Executive, all outstanding Shares that have been granted to the Executive subject to restrictions that, as of the Date of Termination, have not yet lapsed will lapse automatically upon the Date of Termination, and the Executive will own those Shares free and clear of all such restrictions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Options and restricted Shares remain subject to any forfeiture or clawback claims under the applicable option plan or award agreement.

3.3.

  Time of Payment

Except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 3.2, payments provided for in that Section will be made as follows:

No later than the fifth business day following the Date of Termination, the Company will advance to the Executive an amount that is the estimate, as determined by the Company in good faith, of 90% of the payments payable to the Executive under Section 3.2(a) (“First Payment”). For the avoidance of doubt, the Executive is not entitled to the First Payment unless and until he has been provided with the Written Statement (defined below) and the final amount set out in the Written Statement exceeds the First Payment. If the final amount in the Written Statement is less than the First Payment, the Executive shall forthwith repay to the Company the difference between the final amount and the First Payment.

The Company will pay to the Executive the remainder of the payments (if any) due to him under Section 3.2 not later than 90 business days after the Date of Termination.

At the time that remainder of payment is made or should be made under this Section 3.3, the Company will provide the Executive with a written statement setting forth the manner in which all of the payments to him under this Agreement were calculated and the basis for the calculations (“Written Statement”).

3.4.

  Outplacement Services

For a period not to exceed six (6) months following the Date of Termination, the Company will provide the Executive with reasonable outplacement services consistent with past practices of the Company prior to the Change in Control or, if no past practice has been established prior to the Change in Control, consistent with the prevailing practice of medical device companies in the industry.

The Company shall issue a copy of the Deed of General Release to the Executive at the appropriate time, after which Executive will be given 30 days to consider the terms of the Deed of General Release. If the Executive does not return the executed Deed of General Release to the Company by the end of the 30-day period that failure will be deemed a refusal to sign, and the Executive will not be entitled to receive any Severance Payments under this Agreement.

4.3.

  Repayment of Severance Payments

The Executive’s entitlement to receive the Severance Payments is further subject to, and conditional upon his compliance with, the following conditions:

(a)

These include (i) providing Company’s General Counsel or his or her delegate two contact telephone numbers at which the Executive can be reached, either in person or by message, and updating that contact information within 24 hours if it changes; (ii) returning calls from the Released Parties no later than the end of the business day immediately following the date of the call; and (iii) providing information responsive to the request to the best of his ability.

(b)
The Executive shall provide complete and truthful information in response to all inquiries (“Inquiries”) made by any of the Released Parties and any investigating authorities in connection with any governmental investigation of any of the Released Parties or litigation involving any of the Released Parties, and shall disclose to the Ultimate Parent Company’s General Counsel or his or her delegate any and all concerns the Executive may have had arising from or related to his employment regarding potential material violations of applicable law and/or the Company’s Code of Conduct. If it is later determined that the Executive knowingly provided materially misleading or untruthful information in response to any such Inquiries or failed to disclose during his employment any potential material violations of applicable law or the Company’s Code of Conduct of which he was aware, the Executive is not entitled to any Severance Payment and shall, upon written request by the Company, repay to the Company any and all Severance Payments that he has received.

 

(c)
The Executive shall cooperate with any and all Released Parties in response to governmental investigations. The Executive acknowledges that in connection with his job responsibilities with any of the Released Parties he may have obtained or been privy to information that could be relevant to its or their defense of Company-related lawsuits currently pending or which may be asserted against it or them. The Executive agrees to make himself reasonably available for providing such information and, to the extent necessary, testimony. The Company will reimburse any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses the Executive may incur in providing this cooperation and will compensate the Executive for time spent on such assistance at an hourly rate based on his base salary as of the Date of Termination, with time spent rounded to the nearest quarter hour for billing purposes. Any such payment will be reported to the Executive as required under applicable law, and the Executive agrees that he will be responsible for any resulting tax liability. If the Executive fails to cooperate as described herein, the Executive is not entitled to any Severance Payment and shall, upon written request by the Company, repay to the Company any and all Severance Payments that he has received.
