本任务和假设协议（以下简称“协议”）于2024年3月29日（以下简称“生效日期”）由Zimmer Biomet Spine, LLC（以下简称“ZBS”）和ZimVie Inc.（以下简称“ZimVie”）之间签署。
鉴于ZimVie已经达成协议，将其脊柱和骨骼愈合部门出售给HIG Capital的一个关联公司；

鉴于根据限制性约定协议，高管受制于某些限制性契约，可能由ZBS及其关联公司、继承人和受让方执行；
鉴于根据限制性约定协议第16段的规定，ZBS特此将其在限制性约定协议下的权利和利益转让给ZimVie。
现在，因此考虑到本协议中规定的条款和条件，特此确认收到并认为足够，各方同意如下：
1.
转让和承担ZBS特此将其在限制性约定协议中的权利和利益转让给ZimVie。ZimVie特此接受该转让，并承担ZBS在限制性约定协议下的所有权利.
2.
联合执行. The purpose of this Agreement is to give ZimVie an independent right to enforce the Restrictive Covenant Agreements. If it is later determined that the assignment is unenforceable, then the party that can enforce the Restrictive Covenant Agreements agrees that it will do so at the request of the other party or any successor or assignee of the other party, and the requesting party shall pay all costs, including attorneys’ fees, associated with any enforcement action.
3.
适用法律. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the state of Delaware without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule thereof.
4.
相关方. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall be deemed to be one and the same agreement. A signed copy of this Agreement delivered by facsimile, email or other means of electronic transmission shall be deemed to have the same legal effect as delivery of an original signed copy of this Agreement.
