1. PURPOSEANDSCOPE
As the global leader in medical technology, Medtronic expects world-class legal services
from its legal partners. Legal services must be cost-effective and compliant with legal
and ethical requirements governing lawyer professional responsibility, and strategically
aligned with Medtronic’s business objectives and mission of alleviating pain, restoring
health and extending life for millions of people around the world.
This policy applies to outside counsel representing or advising Medtronic, Inc., including
any Medtronic business unit, functional area, employee in their official capacity, board or
board member in their official capacity, subsidiary, or other Medtronic-owned entity
(collectively “Medtronic”). Medtronic retains outside legal counsel pursuant to this
Outside Counsel Policy, not pursuant to any law firm’s retainer agreement. This Policy
should, of course, be interpreted so as to be consistent with the laws and bar association
(or equivalent) professional rules applicable to the practice of law.
Exceptions to this policy may be granted only by the Medtronic Board of Directors
(“Board”) or its Lead Independent Director, Chair of the Board of Directors, General
Counsel, or their authorized designees. Outside counsel seeking an exception to any
provision of this policy should consult with the in-house Medtronic attorney they are
working with, who, in turn, will seek appropriate internal consideration for any requested
exception.
2. PROFESSIONALRESPONSIBILITYRULESANDCHOICEOFLAW
Outside counsel representing Medtronic agree to adhere to the Minnesota Rules of
Professional Conduct or to the rules governing attorney conduct in the jurisdiction where
the litigation for which counsel has been retained is venued, whichever rules place greater
restrictions on counsel’s conduct, on matters related to attorney/client conflict of interest,
privilege and confidentiality, waivers, and client rights following termination of an
attorney/client relationship (including, but not limited to, rights relating to return of client
files). In the event of a dispute between Medtronic and outside counsel arising out of
representation of Medtronic, outside counsel consent to the jurisdiction of Minnesota
State or federal courts for resolution of any dispute. Except as otherwise stated herein or
in the case of counsel outside the United States, as stated in Medtronic’s International
retainer letter (Appendix E), outside counsel further agree that such disputes will be
governed by Minnesota law, without regard to any conflict of law principles, treaties,
rules, statutes, decisions or issues.
3. ETHICALCONDUCT
Medtronic conducts its business in accordance with the highest ethical standards and
expects the same of its Outside Counsel. Medtronic expects its Outside Counsel to
advise the company of all responsibilities under applicable laws and regulations and of
4
May 23, 2014
any legal risks of a proposed course of action. If Outside Counsel believes that a
Medtronic employee (including Legal Department personnel) has or will engage in illegal
or unethical activity, the most senior Outside Counsel responsible for the matter through
which such activity is discovered must immediately and confidentially contact
Medtronic’s General Counsel or Deputy General Counsel for Litigation and
Investigations, as appropriate. No Medtronic employee has the authority to instruct
Outside Counsel to act in an unethical manner in connection with any Medtronic matter.
4. RETENTIONOFOUTSIDECOUNSEL&DIRECTIONOFLEGAL
SERVICES
Only the General Counsel or his/her designees may hire outside counsel to represent or
advise Medtronic. The Board, its Lead Independent Director or Chair of the Board may
hire outside counsel to represent or advise the Board or a member or Committee thereof.
Most engagements are reviewed by the General Counsel for suitability for the matter.
Upon retention for each new matter, outside counsel must acknowledge in writing receipt
of this Outside Counsel Policy and counsel’s agreement to abide by its terms. In most
matters, Medtronic will send an engagement letter (see Appendix A or Appendix E) to
define the scope of representation and memorialize any matter-specific fee arrangements.
Outside counsel may, as directed or permitted by in-house Medtronic legal counsel, have
direct communication and interaction with non-legal Medtronic employees; however,
outside legal counsel may only take direction from in-house Medtronic legal counsel (or,
where retained by the Board, from the Board or its designee), as to the course, scope,
strategy and tactics associated with representation of Medtronic. Medtronic, as a
corporation, is the “client” of its in-house and outside legal counsel, except where stated
otherwise in writing (e.g., in the representation of an individual). Medtronic in-house
legal counsel and the Medtronic Board of Directors have sole authority to decide how to
manage, maintain and whether to waive any privilege or protection owned solely by the
corporation (e.g., attorney-client, attorney work product, “self-critical analysis”). In
instances where a privilege may be jointly owned by Medtronic and another person or
entity (e.g., in connection with joint defense agreements), Medtronic must consent, in
writing, to waiver of any such privilege.
5. CONFLICTSOFINTEREST
For purposes of this Outside Counsel Policy, “Conflict of Interest" or "conflict" means a
situation in which outside counsel (as an individual or law firm):
(1) has a personal, business, or financial interest or other relationship that would
cause a reasonable individual with knowledge of the relevant facts to question
their integrity or impartiality;
(2) was or is counsel to a party adverse to Medtronic in a business transaction,
lawsuit, arbitration, claim or other dispute; or,
5
May 23, 2014
(3) engages in an activity that would cause Medtronic to question the judgment or
impartiality of a lawyer or law firm representing or advising Medtronic;
(4) or is at risk of disclosing confidential Medtronic information to a lawyer
representing a Medtronic competitor (Appendix G) albeit inadvertently. Such a
situation can arise, for example, when a lawyer or law firm represents both
Medtronic and a Medtronic competitor.
Outside counsel is required to advise Medtronic immediately of any actual or potential
representation which may be or may become adverse to the interests of Medtronic or of
any situation that otherwise may involve a Conflict of Interest, including issue Conflicts
(such as where a firm asserts a legal position adverse to the interests of Medtronic on
behalf of another client in another case) and representation of Medtronic competitors.
Questions about whether another client competes with Medtronic should be addressed to
in-house counsel. Medtronic expects loyalty from its outside counsel and may regard as
an actual or potential conflict of interest the representation of another party, which may
have differing interests, whether such interests be conflicting, inconsistent, diverse or
otherwise discordant. The foregoing description of “Conflict of Interest” may be broader
than any otherwise applicable definition under outside counsel’s local bar rules or canons
of ethics. Any such circumstance should be explained in writing addressed to the VP of
Risk Management or his/her designee @ rs [email protected] using the Medtronic
disclosure and waiver request form (Appendix D).
Upon receipt of the completed form, the waiver request will be submitted to the
Medtronic Legal Conflict Committee. Outside counsel will be advised promptly whether
the requested waiver is granted, and the conditions thereto, or declined, in which case
Medtronic will not consent to waive any such actual or potential Conflict. Each conflict
must be separately disclosed. Each waiver will be determined on a case-by-case basis.
Any consent so granted shall be on the condition that such consent will be reconsidered
in the event that the interests of outside counsel’s client and of Medtronic change
materially.
“Medtronic Competitors” means any individual or entity that competes with Medtronic.
Questions concerning whether a particular individual or entity is a Medtronic competitor
should be directed to Medtronic’s in-house legal counsel.
6. STAFFING,BILLING,FORECASTINGandACCRUALS
Counsel must comply with Medtronic’s applicable billing and forecasting procedures.
Legal fees and associated expenses charged to Medtronic must be appropriate, reasonable
and reflect fair value for the services rendered. Invoices should be submitted on a
monthly basis for work performed and expenses incurred the previous month. Invoices
submitted for work conducted more than two months prior to the submission of a bill will
be disallowed by our e-billing system.
6
May 23, 2014
a. Staffing
Matters should be appropriately staffed. Matters should not be overstaffed or under-staffed. Senior lawyers, junior lawyers, paralegals and
legal assistants should be assigned matters appropriate for their position.
Lawyers should not perform, for example, paralegal work and charge
Medtronic at lawyer rates for such work. Senior lawyers should not
perform work such as detailed legal research, basic contract drafting,
unless agreed to by Medtronic.
Medtronic views support staff as part of law firm overhead. Absent
unusual circumstances, Medtronic will not pay for timekeepers other than
attorneys and paralegals. If there is a documented need for an added
timekeeper, it must be preapproved in writing by the Medtronic in-house
counsel supervising the matter.
Multiple professionals should not attend meetings or events, unless agreed
to in advance by Medtronic. Such events include deposition preparation
sessions, depositions, negotiations, mediations, hearings or other court
appearances. Likewise, only necessary outside counsel should participate
in phone calls or meetings with the Medtronic internal team handling a
matter.
Experts, consultants, vendors and other non-firm personnel must not be
retained without advance permission from Medtronic.
Medtronic does not pay for replacement attorney or paralegal learning
time.
Medtronic has internal resources and/or preferred vendors to provide
products or services to assist in such matters as photocopying, e-discovery,
medical record processing, translations, computer forensics, document
review and analysis, and graphic and demonstrative presentations.
Outside counsel should inquire whether Medtronic has a preferred vendor
before engaging one or utilizing firm resources.
b. Billing
Medtronic maintains an e-billing system - Datacert’s Passport Matter
Management System (“Passport”) (Appendix H) - a web-based application
which facilitates the approval and payment of electronic invoices between
law firms and the Medtronic corporate legal and finance functions.
(Except for outside counsel outside of the United States; those billing
arrangements are governed by the engagement letter under Appendix E.)
The Passport system significantly improves bill processing and payment
timing, and allows Medtronic to validate invoices against outside counsel
7
May 23, 2014
guidelines. Law firms must submit all invoices through Passport, and
therefore must engage with Datacert to submit bills to Medtronic through
Passport. Fees for using Datacert are the responsibility of the law firm.
Medtronic will not pay nor reimburse Datacert law firm fees. Medtronic
will soon require that all forecast submissions be entered and updated in
the e-billing system.
Medtronic may require detailed work plans, detailed forecast estimates
and accruals, and other requirements in certain matters at any time
throughout the life of the matter.
Medtronic welcomes proposals from outside counsel for alternative billing
arrangements, such as fixed rates, blended rates and discounts for certain
work.
All legal vendors must submit invoices using our e-billing system and
must not charge Medtronic for use of that system. Medtronic requires
each fee and expense line item have a UTBMS task code assigned.
Missing task and expense codes will cause the line item (or file) to fail and
the entire invoice will be rejected. Agreed-upon rates should encompass
all overhead and internal charges and administrative costs associated with
a firm’s practice, including printing, scanning, cellular/PDA usage
charges, routine secretarial or clerical work, including telephone charges,
routine/small copying, mail room and fax labor charges, computer
charges, and overtime services, including any travel expenses for
personnel working OT. Large or complex scanning and photocopying
jobs must be referred to Medtronic’s preferred outside vendor.
Medtronic uses the UTBMS codes for expenses. Absent preapproval,
Medtronic will not pay for the following expenses.
Word Processing
Facsimile
Telephone (long distance, mobile,
conference)
Online research

All EDRM (Electronic Discovery Reference Model) issues must be
communicated and processed through the internal Medtronic eDiscovery
team. This includes but is not limited to: search term definition, early data
assessment, preservation, collection, processing, review and analysis.
Outside counsel is required to work with the Medtronic eDiscovery team
prior to making any commitments to timelines and/or filtering
requirements.
Counsel may not increase the hourly rates charged for services rendered
during the life of a matter (pendency of the specific engagement).
Exceptions to these procedures require written preapproval by Medtronic.
Charges by outside vendors must be supported by copies of invoices. The
invoices need not be submitted when a firm is submitting invoices
electronically. However, the firm should retain a copy to be provided if
Medtronic requests. A firm should advance costs that do not exceed
$2,500. Any expenses that exceed $2,500 may be forwarded directly to
Medtronic for payment once they are reviewed and recommended for
payment by counsel who manage the goods or services provided by the
vendor. Outside counsel must consult with the Medtronic lawyer with
whom they are working on a matter for advance approval of any
significant expense or before undertaking any significant activity.
Outside counsel traveling on behalf of Medtronic must comply with the
Medtronic Travel Policy (See Appendix C, provided herewith). Among
9
May 23, 2014
other things, outside counsel should charge only for coach class travel,
stays at hotels of the same class permitted for Medtronic in-house counsel,
and strictly minimize meal expenses. Any travel must be approved by the
Medtronic lawyer assigned to each matter.
When possible, utilize videoconferencing instead of travel.
Medtronic does not permit charges for time spent in travel except for time
when counsel is actually performing Medtronic legal work.
c. Estimates,Forecasts,AdjustmentsandAccruals
Prior to or soon after engagement on a matter (within 30 days), outside
counsel must provide Medtronic with a written estimate of the fees and
expenses reasonably anticipated for the life of the matter. Where possible,
such estimates should also indicate the Medtronic fiscal month, quarter
and fiscal year in which the fees and expenses are anticipated to be
incurred. Changes anticipated to any forecast estimate should be
promptly communicated in writing to allow Medtronic to make
appropriate adjustments to its internal financial forecasts.
Medtronic performs monthly accrual reporting for each major matter (as
defined by the assigned MDT lawyer) with respect to outside attorneys’
fees and expenses and requires counsel and vendors to submit the
following:
AS TO EACH FILE OR MATTER, IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT AT
LEAST SEVEN DAYS PRIOR TO THE CLOSE OF EACH
MEDTRONIC FISCAL MONTH OR QUARTER, (APPENDIX B)

the Medtronic lawyer for review and approval.
Questions regarding this section should be directed to the Medtronic inhouse attorney responsible for the matter or to Medtronic Legal
Operations.

May 23, 2014
d. EarlyCaseAssessment(ECA)

in both matter and eDiscovery strategies (Early Data Assessment or EDA).
Discussions should be directed to Medtronic’s in-house legal counsel.
e. Bonds,LettersofCredit,&Insurance
Outside counsel in need of any bond, letter of credit or certification or
proof of insurance should consult with the in-house Medtronic counsel
with whom they are working on the matter. As to bonds related to
appellate matters, outside counsel may consult with the Vice President,
Litigation. Requests for letters of credit or for certificates of insurance or
proof of insurance may be directed to the Vice President, Risk
Management.
f. LegalDiversityStatement
Medtronic is dedicated to retaining the best lawyers by assuring that we
have diverse talent and legal representation that reflects the diversity of
our employees, customers and communities where we do business. To
that end, we have made a Member Commitment to A Call to Action for
Sustainable Change in Diversity in the Legal Profession and have
affirmed our commitment to the mission of the Leadership Council on
Legal Diversity to bring together the leadership of companies and law
firms to use all of the means at our disposal to realize a truly diverse
profession. We welcome and value diversity in legal teams that represent
us.
g. ProBono/CommunityService
Medtronic encourages the members of its Legal Department to participate
in their community through the provision of pro bono services. Medtronic
invites creative partnership by its MP3 network firms to support, develop
and co-lead pro bono projects with members of the Medtronic Legal

AppendixC‐TravelPolicy
a. Introduction
Consistent with the Travel Policy for Medtronic employees, this policy
provides guidelines and procedures for outside counsel traveling on behalf of
Medtronic.
An attorney traveling on behalf of Medtronic is expected to exercise the same
care in incurring expenses as a prudent person traveling for personal reasons.
Failure to comply with this policy may result in the delay or withholding of
reimbursement.
Direct any questions regarding this policy to the Medtronic in-house attorney
with whom you are working.
b. TripPlanning
When to Travel
The decision to travel must be based solely on the need to fulfill the business
objectives of the company when a more economical alternative to travel does
not exist.
c. TravelAuthorization
Outside counsel must consult with the in-house Medtronic attorney for pretravel authorization. No particular form of pre-authorization is required;
verbal approval is acceptable.
d. TravelArrangements
Outside counsel should make their own travel arrangements. Outside counsel
should inquire as to whether Medtronic may have a preferred vendor rate at
hotels in the travel destination. Travel reservations should be made as far in
advance as possible to minimize cost.
e. LogicalFare(LLF)
All air travel must be booked at the lowest logical fare routing.
f. ClassofService
Coach class must be used for travel in and among the U.S., Canada, Mexico,
Puerto Rico, or the Caribbean.
19
May 23, 2014
g. AirTravelRestrictions
Use of private aircraft or non-approved charter aircraft is not allowed.
h. UpgradesandIncidentals
Class of Service upgrades, at the expense of the company, is not permitted.
Individuals choosing to upgrade do so at their own expense.
Incidental travel charges such as in-flight internet access or checked bag fees
are not reimbursable unless specifically approved by Medtronic.
If staying over a Saturday night will result in a lower fare than the LLF quoted
by the travel agency, the company will reimburse the additional hotel night
stay, meals and other related expenses up to the amount of 1/2 the savings
realized from the discounted airfare. This is an option that can be voluntarily
chosen and is not a LLF requirement. The expenses attached to the Saturday
night stay must be incurred in the same city where the Medtronic business was
conducted.
The accumulation of "points" by participating in airline promotions is for the
traveler’s personal benefit.
i. Insurance
Personal insurance is not reimbursable. Outside counsel traveling on behalf of
Medtronic should provide their own travel and/or personal injury related
insurance.
j. LostLuggage
Lost luggage is not the responsibility of Medtronic.
k. HelicopterTravel
Helicopter travel is not permitted for point-to-point travel. Helicopter transfers
between airports for domestic to international connections (generally in New
York and Los Angeles) are permitted if provided free of charge by the airline
from which air transportation is purchased.
l. CarRental
Preferred Vendors
A car may be rented, if necessary, in connection with travel on behalf of
Medtronic. Outside counsel should consult with the Medtronic in-house
20
May 23, 2014
attorney they are working with to identify Medtronic-preferred rental
company vendors (currently National Car Rental and Avis Car Rental).
Insurance
Medtronic’s rates through its preferred suppliers include liability insurance
coverage. All supplemental insurance on domestic rentals should be
declined. If extra insurance is elected, it is not a reimbursable expense.
Travelers are asked to accept the insurance coverage on international
rentals only if the rental is with a non-preferred supplier.
Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) insurance is a reimbursable expense on
international rentals not covered under a Preferred Supplier agreement. In
many European countries there is an Excess Damage charge (deductible)
that the traveler will be charged regardless of coverage provided by our
negotiated rate. Rental car agencies in Europe will often offer additional
insurances such as PAI and Excess Damage. PAI is considered additional
personal insurance and is not reimbursed by Medtronic.
"Excess Damage" is a maximum liability that still exists above and
beyond the insurance coverage provided in the Medtronic rate should the
vehicle become involved in an accident. Excess damage is a non-waivable
deductible for which the traveler is responsible, regardless of the purchase
of CDW. This liability can be "bought down" for an additional rate offered
by the car rental agency in the specific country in question.
Medtronic's travelers should not purchase any insurance over and above
that which you will receive simply by renting the car under the Medtronic
National Rental Car program agreement. In other words DO NOT "buy
down" the excess damage liability insurance under any circumstance.
Size of Car
When it is necessary to rent a car, use the smallest size vehicle appropriate
to accomplish your business purpose. As a general guide, when traveling
alone, a compact or an intermediate size car should be rented. When two
or more are traveling together, an intermediate or full size car may be
rented.
Refueling
Due to the surcharge added for refueling by the rental car company,
travelers are requested to refill the tank before returning the car.

RE:
Representation of Medtronic and its Affiliates
Dear:
In working with your firm and other outside counsel, Medtronic’s objective is to obtain
superior legal services in the most cost-effective manner. In this context, we would like
to introduce you to the Medtronic Outside Counsel Policy (“OCP”), as attached, which
from now on will govern the relations with our outside counsels worldwide, including
yourselves. Please take some time to familiarize yourself with it and consult your contact
in-house lawyer at Medtronic in case of any questions.
Clearly, such a worldwide Policy cannot accommodate certain local differences. Please
be informed that, by way of exception, the following paragraphs are not applicable to our
relationship with you:
1. Professional Responsibility Rules and Choice of Law- The relevant
Professional Responsibility rules are those applicable in the jurisdiction under
which you are providing the relevant services to us. Similarly, the governing law
applicable to our relationship will be the relevant national law.
2. Conflicts of Interest and Medtronic Competitors – For the relevant list of
Medtronic Competitors, please use attached list. In case of any changes, we will
send you an update to be used going forward. With respect to the required
disclosures, we will respect any local confidentiality rules that are applicable and
may prevent you from disclosing clients’ names. In such cases, please consult
your relevant Medtronic in-house lawyer.
3. Sarbanes Oxley- To avoid any misunderstanding, these rules are only applicable
in the case you are providing advice under the laws of the USA.
Finally, we would like to stress the critical importance we attach to the observance of the
following billing requirements.
Statements not in compliance with these
requirements cannot be processed for payment and delays will inevitably result.
24
May 23, 2014
Billing. Unless otherwise agreed:
- billing statements and invoices must be submitted monthly within 30 days after the end
of the each month covered in the format required by the company in accordance with the
hourly rates appended to this letter or as may be otherwise agreed from time to time; and
- each statement should be addressed and sent to a designated Medtronic entity with a
given Purchase Order Number in accordance to Medtronic’s procurement policy for
review and approval by the relevant in-house counsel (payment will be made to your firm
upon our instruction).
Each statement must include, for each separate matter involved, (1) a detailed statement
of the services rendered on that matter during the month, (2) the name of the Medtronic
contact person, and (3) a chart identifying each attorney or paralegal who worked on the
matter, their respective hourly rate, and the total number of hours billed (you must
maintain a computerized or equivalent daily record of the time and nature of the services
provided by each individual which you will provide to designated counsel upon request).
The statement should also itemize disbursements by type and amount (for each matter if
possible).
We will use all reasonable efforts to ensure that invoices meeting these criteria are
promptly paid. We also expect that your firm will maintain back-up documentation for
all expenses for our review as we may request. In this regard, Medtronic reserves the
right to audit any billing statement or invoice at any time. Please be advised that we are
moving toward electronic bill submission and will let you know when we have that
system in place.
Please review this letter carefully and let your contact in-house lawyer at Medtronic
know immediately if you have any questions. We expect your adherence to these terms
and appreciate your working with us to achieve our objective of providing Medtronic
with superior legal services in the most cost-effective manner.
Yours sincerely,
Legal VP of Region
(insert lawyer’s name)
Medtronic International
