Exhibit 10.2

RESIGNATION AGREEMENT AND RELEASE OF CLAIMS

This Resignation Agreement and Release of Claims (this “Agreement”) is made by and between Shawn T McCormick (“Executive”) and Tornier, Inc. (“Tornier” or the “Company”), a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Tornier N.V., a public company with limited liability (naamloze vennootschap) organized under the laws of The Netherlands (“Tornier N.V.”). Executive and the Company are referred to individually as “Party” and collectively referred to as “Parties” in this Agreement.

A. Executive and the Company are parties to an employment agreement effective as of September 4, 2012 (the “Employment Agreement”), which, among other things, provides Executive certain payments and benefits in the event Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause (as defined in the Employment Agreement) or by the Executive for Good Reason (as defined in the Employment Agreement) during the 12-month period immediately following a Change in Control (as defined in the Employment Agreement).

B. In connection with the anticipated completion of the merger (the “Merger”) between Tornier N.V. and Wright Medical Group, Inc. (“Wright”), the Parties wish to provide for the ending of their employment relationship in an honorable, dignified and orderly manner, and understand and acknowledge that since the Merger constitutes a Change in Control (as defined in the Employment Agreement), the termination of Executive’s employment relationship will give rise to an obligation of the Company to provide Executive certain payments and benefits under Section 6(f) of the Employment Agreement.

C. Recognizing that a resignation from employment generally implicates potential transition and legal issues, the Company is willing to provide Executive with benefits in addition to those provided under Section 6(f) of the Employment Agreement in exchange for a full and final release of claims by Executive and Executive’s willingness to remain an employee of the Company for a limited period of time after completion of the Merger and become an independent consultant to the Company thereafter to ease the transition, pursuant to the terms set forth in this Agreement, including the Consulting Agreement attached hereto.

D. Executive does not believe that he has any claims against the Company, but Executive, nevertheless, agrees to resolve any actual and potential claims arising out of his employment with and separation from the Company by entering into this Agreement.

In consideration of this entire Agreement, including the Release and Consulting Agreement attached hereto, the receipt and legal sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, accepted and agreed to, the Parties, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:

Resignation from All Board and Officer Positions as of Effective Time of Merger. Executive agrees to and hereby resigns from all director and officer positions with Tornier N.V., the Company, and any and all subsidiaries and affiliates of Tornier N.V. and the Company, effective as of the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”). In furtherance of the foregoing, upon the request of the Company, Executive agrees to execute and deliver to the Company any resignations or corporate, governmental or other

documents necessary to effect his resignation as a director and/or officer of Tornier N.V., the Company and any and all subsidiaries and affiliates of Tornier N.V. and the Company; provided, however, that any such request of the Executive in furtherance of the foregoing will be reasonable.

2.	Resignation from Employment as of Resignation Date; Employment Prior to Resignation Date.

Resignation from Employment; At-Will Employment Prior to Resignation Date; Entitlement to Severance Pay and Benefits and Other Payments. Executive agrees to and hereby resigns as an employee of the Company effective as of the close of business on the three (3) month anniversary of the Effective Time or such other date as agreed upon by the Company and Executive (the “Resignation Date”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement constitutes a promise by the Company or Executive of continued employment of Executive by the Company and Executive’s employment with the Company is and will remain “at-will,” meaning that either Executive or the Company may terminate Executive’s employment relationship with the Company at any time for any reason. In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, if Executive accepts full-time employment with another employer prior to the Resignation Date as described above, the “Resignation Date” as used in this Agreement shall mean such earlier date on which Executive began such full-time employment and Executive’s employment with the Company will be deemed terminated as of such earlier date. In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, if Executive’s employment is otherwise terminated for any reason prior to the Resignation Date as described above, the “Resignation Date” as used in this Agreement shall mean such earlier date on which Executive’s employment with the Company terminated. For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties understand, acknowledge and agree that regardless of the reason, if any, of the termination of Executive’s employment prior to the three (3) month anniversary of the completion of the Merger or such other date as agreed upon by the Company and Executive, Executive will be entitled to the Severance Pay and Benefits under Section 3 of this Agreement and, if such payments have been earned in accordance with the terms thereof, the payments under Sections 4.A. and 4.B. of this Agreement.

Continuing Benefits as Employee Prior to Resignation Date. After the Effective Time and prior to the Resignation Date, Executive will remain an employee of the Company through the Resignation Date and continue to: (1) receive his base salary as in effect as of the Effective Time, payable in accordance with the customary payroll practices of the Company as the same exists from time to time; (2) be eligible to participate in health insurance, retirement, disability and other benefit programs provided to officers of the Company on terms no less favorable than those available to officers of the Company; (3) be entitled to the same number of vacation days, holidays, sick days and other benefits as are generally allowed to senior executives of the Company in accordance with the Company’s policies in effect from time to time; and (4) be authorized to incur reasonable expenses in the discharge of his services as an employee of the

Company, in accordance with the Company’s expense reimbursement policy, as the same may be modified by the Company from time to time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive understands, acknowledges and agrees that he will not receive any annual or other equity awards after the Effective Time and prior to the Resignation Date or otherwise. After the Effective Time and prior to the Resignation Date, Executive will not be expected to travel or maintain office hours in the Bloomington, Minnesota office or any other office of the Company, but may perform his duties and responsibilities from his home, but will be available to Lance Berry on an as needed basis.

Continuing Obligations as Employee Prior to and After Resignation Date. Executive understands, acknowledges and agrees that after the Effective Time and prior to the Resignation Date, Executive will continue to remain subject to the non-competition, confidentiality, non-interference, assignment of inventions and other obligations under Section 7 of the Employment Agreement, which obligations will remain in full force and effect, and will survive the termination of Executive’s employment as provided therein.

Severance Pay and Benefits. Company and Executive understand, acknowledge and agree that the completion of the Merger, the resignation of Executive as an officer of the Company pursuant to Section 1 of this Agreement and the resignation of Executive as an employee of the Company pursuant to Section 2 of this Agreement results in an “involuntary separation of service” within the meaning of such term under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and thus Executive will be entitled to certain payments and benefits under Section 6(f) of the Employment Agreement, and pursuant to and in full satisfaction of the Company’s obligations under Section 6(f) of the Employment Agreement, the Company will provide Executive with the following “Severance Pay and Benefits”:

Severance Pay. The Company will provide Executive a lump sum payment equal to $565,999.50 (“Severance Pay”), less payroll withholdings that the Company reasonably believes are required by law or elected by Executive for state and federal income taxes, FICA and other applicable payroll deductions. The Severance Pay will be paid to Executive within fifteen (15) days after the Resignation Date.

Health Insurance Benefits. If Executive timely elects continued coverage under the Company’s group medical plan or group dental plan pursuant to section 4980B of the Code (“COBRA”), in accordance with ordinary plan practices, from the Resignation Date and through the last day of twelfth (12^th) month after the Resignation Date, the Company will reimburse Executive in an amount equal to the difference between the amount Executive in fact pays for such COBRA continuation coverage and the amount paid by a full-time active employee for the same level of coverage elected by Executive.

Equity Award Acceleration. The Company and Executive understand, acknowledge and agree that pursuant to the terms of the Tornier N.V. Amended and Restated 2010 Incentive Plan and the grant certificates representing equity awards granted to Executive thereunder, all unvested options to purchase ordinary shares of Tornier N.V. and stock grants in the form of restricted stock units granted to Executive by Tornier N.V. and held by Executive as of the Effective Time will become immediately vested and, in the case of the options, fully exercisable and will remain exercisable for the remainder of their respective terms, whether or not Executive remains as an employee or consultant of the Company, Tornier N.V. or Wright Medical Group N.V.

In addition to the foregoing Severance Pay and Benefits, which will be paid or provided to Executive regardless of whether Executive signs this Agreement, the following amounts also will be paid to Executive regardless of whether Executive signs this Agreement: (1) Executive’s base salary for the time Executive worked through the end of business on the Resignation Date; (2) any accrued but unused vacation to which Executive is entitled as of the Resignation Date; and (3) any unreimbursed business expenses incurred by Executive through the Resignation Date in the course of and pursuant to Tornier’s expense reimbursement policies and procedures.

Special Consideration. Executive and the Company have agreed upon the Company’s provision of the following special consideration (the “Special Consideration”), in exchange for Executive’s entry into this Agreement and the Release attached as Exhibit A to this Agreement (the “Release”). Upon the expiration of the applicable Rescission Period, as described in the attached Release, without Executive’s actual or attempted rescission of the Release, the Company will provide Executive with the following Special Consideration:

Pre-Merger Bonus Plan Payout. Executive will be entitled to receive a pro-rated bonus under and pursuant to the terms of the Tornier N.V. 2015 Corporate Performance Incentive Plan (“Tornier 2015 Bonus Plan”), which bonus, if any earned thereunder, will be paid based on Tornier N.V.’s financial results through second quarter of fiscal 2015 and otherwise pursuant to the terms of the Tornier 2015 Bonus Plan; provided, however, that such bonus payout will be determined and paid to Executive within a reasonable period of time after the Effective Time of the Merger (the “Pre-Merger Bonus Plan Payout”).

Participation in Post-Merger Bonus Plan. Executive will be eligible to receive a pro-rated bonus (the “Post-Merger Bonus”) under and pursuant to the terms of a bonus plan that may be established by Wright Medical Group N.V. or the Company after the Effective Time based on the financial performance of Wright Medical Group N.V. or the Company after the second quarter of fiscal 2015 and through the remainder of its fiscal year ending December 27, 2015 (the “Post-Merger Bonus Period”) and assuming a target incentive opportunity percentage of 50% of base salary for Executive, as pro-rated based on Executive’s employment during the Post-Merger Bonus Period. Executive will be paid his Post-Merger Bonus, if any, after December 31, 2015, but prior to March 15, 2016.

Consulting Agreement. The Company will engage Executive as a Consultant pursuant to the terms of the Consulting Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Consulting Agreement”), including without limitation the payment by the Company of consulting fees to Executive thereunder, which Consulting Agreement Executive agrees to sign as a condition of this Agreement. Company and Executive anticipate that the monthly level of bona fide services that Executive will perform for or on behalf of the Company and any of its subsidiaries or affiliates following the Resignation Date pursuant to the terms of the Consulting Agreement will be less than twenty percent (20%) of the average monthly level of bona fide services performed by Executive over the thirty-six (36) month period immediately preceding the Resignation Date and execution of the Consulting Agreement.

For the avoidance of doubt, the term “Special Consideration” does not include the following amounts which will be paid or provided to Executive regardless of whether Executive signs this Agreement: (1) Severance Pay and Benefits pursuant to Section 3 of this Agreement; (2) Executive’s base salary for the time Executive worked through the end of business on the Resignation Date; (3) any accrued but unused vacation to which Executive is entitled as of the Resignation Date; and (4) any unpaid business expenses incurred by Executive through the Resignation Date in the course of and pursuant to the Company’s expense reimbursement policies and procedures.

Mutual Agreement to Release Claims. In exchange for the Special Consideration referenced in Section 4 above and the other undertakings of the Company stated in this Agreement and the Consulting Agreement attached as Exhibit B, Executive agrees to voluntarily sign the Release, in the form of Exhibit A, after his employment has ended. Executive understands that he is not entitled to the Special Consideration described in this Agreement, unless he signs, and does not rescind, the Release in the form of Exhibit A.

Compliance with Prior Agreements and Company Policies and Procedures. Executive confirms that Executive remains bound by the terms of all prior agreements which Executive has entered into with the Company and its parent companies, subsidiaries and affiliates, including without limitation the Employment Agreement, and all policies and procedures of the Company and its parent companies, subsidiaries and affiliates applicable to Executive and which by their terms extend beyond the Resignation Date, including without limitation the Tornier N.V. Code of Conduct on Confidentiality and Insider Trading, Tornier N.V. Code of Business Conduct and Ethics and the Tornier N.V. Global Disclosure Policy. Executive understands, acknowledges and agrees that many of the terms in such prior agreements and Company policies and procedures extend beyond the Resignation Date, including without limitation his duty to maintain as confidential all confidential, proprietary or trade secret information of the Company, its parent companies, subsidiaries and affiliates, his duty not to compete with the Company, his duty not to interfere with Company employees, agents, customers or prospective customers and his duty not to trade in Company securities when in possession of material nonpublic information.

No Right to Reemployment. Executive understands, acknowledges and agrees that his employment with the Company will terminate effective as of the Resignation Date and Executive will have no express or implied right or entitlement to reinstatement or reemployment with the Company following the Resignation Date. Executive understands, acknowledges and agrees that the Company may use this Agreement as the sole reason to reject any inquiry or application for employment Executive may make.

Agreement to Cooperate in Transition; Return of Property. Both before and after the Resignation Date, Executive will cooperate with the Company in its transition efforts as follows: (1) Executive agrees to be available, on a reasonable basis, to answer questions that may arise relating to Executive’s employment with or duties to the Company; (2) upon request of the Company, Executive agrees to execute and deliver to the Company any resignations or corporate, governmental or other documents necessary to effect his resignation as a director and/or officer of Tornier N.V., the Company and any subsidiaries and affiliates and his separation from the Company and its parent companies, subsidiaries and affiliates; provided, however, that any such request of the Executive in furtherance of the foregoing will be reasonable; (3) Executive will return, before the Resignation Date, and will not retain in any form or format, all Company documents, data, trunk stock and other property in Executive’s possession or control, including without limitation Company-owned equipment such as computers, laptops, etc.; provided, however, that Executive may retain his iPad, iPhone and cell phone number; and provided, further that Executive may retain his computer through the term of the Consulting Agreement attached as Exhibit B; (4) after returning these documents, data and other property, Executive will permanently delete from any electronic media in Executive’s possession, custody or control (such as computers, his iPad, iPhone and other smart phones, cell phones and hand-held devices, and back-up devices, zip drives, etc.) or to which Executive has or may have had access (such as remote e-mail exchange servers, back-up servers, off-site storage, etc.), all documents or electronically stored images of the Company, including writings, drawings, graphs, charts, sound recordings, images, and other data or data compilations stored in any medium from which such information can be obtained; and (5) Executive agrees to provide the Company with a list of any documents that Executive created or is otherwise aware that are password-protected and the password(s) necessary to access such password-protected documents. Company “documents, data, and other property” includes, without limitation, computers, fax machines, cell phones, access cards, keys, reports, manuals, records, product samples, trunk stock, correspondence and/or other documents or materials related to the business of the Company or any its parent companies, subsidiaries or affiliates that Executive has compiled, generated or received while working for the Company, including all copies, samples, computer data, disks, or records of such material. Executive understands, acknowledges and agrees that the Company’s obligations under Section 4 of this Agreement are contingent upon Executive returning all Company documents, data, trunk stock, and other property and cooperating with the Company as set forth above.

Agreement to Cooperate in Investigations and Litigation. Executive agrees that Executive will, at any future time, be available upon reasonable notice from the Company, with or without a subpoena, to be interviewed, review documents or things, give depositions, testify, or engage in other reasonable activities, with respect to matters

In performing Executive’s obligations under this Section 9 to testify or otherwise provide information, Executive will honestly, truthfully, forthrightly, and completely provide the information requested. Executive will comply with this Agreement upon notice from the Company that the Company or its attorneys believe that Executive’s compliance will assist in the resolution of an investigation or the prosecution or defense of claims. Executive understands and agrees that the Company’s obligations under Section 4 of this Agreement are contingent upon Executive cooperating with the Company in investigations and litigation. From and after the Resignation Date, the Company agrees to pay Executive not less than $400 per hour or $2,500 per day if at least four hours of time are required for time spent by Executive in performing Executive’s obligations under this Section 9 and to reimburse Executive for all reasonable, out-of-pocket travel and other pre-approved expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by Executive in connection with Executive performing his obligations under this Section 9; provided, however, that the investigation or claim does not involve any alleged wrongdoing by Executive. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, any such request of the Executive to perform Executive’s obligations under this Section 9 will be reasonable and recognize that Executive is not a full-time or other employee with the Company and that Executive may be employed elsewhere or have other time commitments that may limit his ability to perform his obligations under this Section 9.

Code of Conduct on Confidentiality and Insider Trading, the Tornier N.V. Code of Business Conduct and Ethics and the Tornier N.V. Global Disclosure Policy.

Interpretation of this Agreement. This Agreement, including the Release attached as Exhibit A, is to be interpreted as broadly as possible to achieve Executive’s intention to resolve all of Executive’s Claims against the Company. If this Agreement is held by a court to be inadequate to release a particular claim encompassed within Executive’s Claims, this Agreement will remain in full force and effect with respect to all the rest of Executive’s Claims. In case any one or more of the provisions of this Agreement will be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions will not in any way be affected or impaired.

19.

Governing Law and Venue.

My release (waiver) of My Claims is effective without regard to the legal nature of the claims raised and without regard to whether any such claims are based upon tort, equity, implied or express contract, statute, regulation, ordinance or discrimination of any sort. If and to the extent any release or waiver created by this Agreement is found to be illegal or improper as to any protected claim under applicable law, then that release or waiver will be deemed void as to the protected claim at issue from inception; however, the voiding of that release or waiver will have no effect on the remainder of this Agreement; and all remaining releases and waivers in this Agreement

Ex. A-2

will continue in effect to the maximum extent allowed by law. In exchange for my agreement to release My Claims, I am receiving satisfactory Consideration from Employer to which I am not otherwise entitled by law, contract, or under any Employer policy. The Consideration I am receiving is a full and fair payment for the release of all My Claims. Employer does not owe me anything in addition to what I will be receiving as Consideration for the release, withdrawal and waiver of My Claims.

5.	Exclusions from Release.

My Claims do not include my rights to enforce the terms of the Resignation Agreement dated as of October 1, 2015 between Tornier and me; my rights to enforce the terms of the Consulting Agreement dated as of [●], 2015 between Tornier and me; my rights to enforce any terms of the Employment Agreement dated as of September 4, 2012 between Tornier and me which survive the termination of my employment with Tornier; any right to defense, indemnification or contribution, whether pursuant to Tornier’s articles of association, certificate of incorporation or bylaws, or contract, applicable law or otherwise for claims brought against me in my capacity as an officer, director, employee or agent of Tornier; rights as a shareholder of Tornier; my rights to assert claims that are based on events occurring after this Release becomes effective; and any other rights which cannot be waived or release under applicable law.

The Older Workers Benefit Protection Act (“OWBPA”) applies to individuals age 40 and older and sets forth certain criteria for such individuals to waive their rights under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (“ADEA”) in connection with an exit incentive program or other employment termination program. I understand and have been advised that, if applicable, the above release of my Claims is subject to the terms of the OWBPA. The OWBPA provides that a covered individual cannot waive a right or claim under the ADEA unless the waiver is knowing and voluntary. If I am a covered individual, I acknowledge that I have been advised of this law, and I agree that I am signing this Release voluntarily, and with full knowledge of its consequences. I understand that the Employer is giving me twenty-one (21) days from the date I received a copy of this Release to decide whether I want to sign it. I acknowledge that I have been advised to use this time to consult with an attorney about the effect of this Release. If I sign this Release before the end of the twenty-one (21) day period it will be my personal, voluntary decision to do so, and will be done with full knowledge of my legal rights. I agree that material and/or immaterial changes to the attached Resignation Agreement to which this relates or this Release will not restart the running of this consideration period. I also acknowledge that the Agreement, this Release and any other attachments or exhibits have each been written in a way that I understand.

The term “Claims” does not include my rights, if any, to claim the following: unemployment insurance benefits; workers compensation benefits; claims for my vested post-termination benefits under any 401(k) or similar tax-qualified

Ex. A-3

retirement benefit plan; my rights to group health plan coverage pursuant to section 4980B of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“COBRA”); my rights to enforce the terms of the Agreement or this Release; or my rights to assert claims that are based on events occurring after this Release becomes effective.

Nothing in my Resignation Agreement or this Release interferes with my right to file or maintain a charge with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (“EEOC”) or other local civil rights enforcement agency, or participate in any manner in an EEOC or other such agency investigation or proceeding. I understand, however, that I am waiving my right to recover individual relief including, but not limited to, back pay, front pay, reinstatement, attorneys’ fees, and/or punitive damages, in any administrative or legal action whether brought by the EEOC or other civil rights enforcement agency, me, or any other party.

Nothing in this Release interferes with my right to challenge the knowing and voluntary nature of this Release under the ADEA and/or OWBPA.

I agree that the Employer reserves any and all defenses, which it has or might have against any claims brought by me. This includes, but is not limited to, the Employer’s right to seek available costs and attorneys’ fees as allowed by law, and to have any monetary award granted to me, if any, reduced by the amount of money that I received in consideration for this Release.

Required Disclosures. Nothing in this Release prohibits or restricts Employee from (i) making any disclosure of information required by law; (ii) filing a charge with, providing truthful information to, or testifying or otherwise cooperating or assisting in any investigation or proceeding brought by, any governmental agency, such as the Department of Labor, Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, or similar state or federal agency, or any designated legal, compliance or human resources officer designated by the Employer; or (iii) reporting an illegal act to any duly authorized law enforcement agency. However, to the maximum extent allowed by applicable law, (A) Employee waives and releases any right to bring, directly or indirectly to benefit or profit from, accept any relief in, or assign any right to any qui tam False Claims Act, Anti-kickback statute or other lawsuit relating to his employment with Employer, and (B) if Employee files such a charge or complaint, Employee waives Employee’s right to recover damages or obtain personal relief of any kind with respect to the matters released by this Agreement, and Employee agrees to assign any such monetary recovery that Employee may obtain despite this waiver, to the Employer.

Right to Rescind and/or Revoke. I understand that insofar as this Release relates to my rights under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (“ADEA”), it shall not become effective or enforceable until seven (7) days after I sign it. I also have the right to revoke this Release insofar as it extends to potential claims under the ADEA by written notice to the Employer within seven (7) calendar days following the date I sign this Release. I understand that insofar as this Release relates to my rights or potential claims under the Minnesota Human Rights Act (“MHRA”), it shall not become effective or enforceable

Ex. A-4

until fifteen (15) days after I sign it. I have the right to rescind this Release only insofar as it extends to potential claims under the MHRA, within fifteen (15) calendar days as to waiver of claims under the MHRA. Any such rescission must be in writing and hand-delivered to Employer’s attorneys or, if sent by mail, postmarked within the applicable rescission period, sent by certified mail, return receipt requested, and addressed as follows:

(1)

post-marked within the seven (7) or fifteen (15) day rescission period;

(2)

properly addressed to:

Greg Morrison

Senior Vice President, Global Human Resources and HPMS

Tornier, Inc.

1023 Cherry Road

Memphis, Tennessee 38117; and

(3)

sent by certified mail, return receipt requested.

I understand that the Consideration I am receiving for settling and releasing My Claims is contingent upon my agreement to be bound by the terms of this Release. Accordingly, if I decide to revoke this Release, I understand that I am not entitled to the Consideration offered in the Settlement Agreement. I further understand that if I attempt to revoke or rescind my release of any claim, I must immediately return to Employer’s counsel designated above the Consideration I have received under my Settlement Agreement.

I Understand the Terms of this Release. I have had the opportunity to read this Release carefully and understand all its terms. I have reviewed this Release with my own attorney. In agreeing to sign this Release, I have not relied on any statements or explanations made by Employer or their attorneys.

14.

Authorized Uses.

Ex. B - 2

16.	Representations, Warranties and Indemnification.

27.

Miscellaneous. No amendment to this Agreement will be binding upon the Parties unless it is in writing and executed by both Parties.

All waivers must be in writing. Unless the written waiver contains an express statement to the contrary, no waiver by either Party of any breach of any provision of this Agreement or of any right provided for herein will be construed as a waiver of any continuing or succeeding breach of such provision, a waiver of the provision itself, or a waiver of any right under this Agreement. All remedies provided for in this Agreement will be cumulative and in addition to and not in lieu of any other remedies available to either Party at law, in equity or otherwise.
