AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION

This AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of July 19, 2021 (the “Agreement Date”), among Pacific Biosciences of California, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Acquiror”), Apollo Acquisition Corp, a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Acquiror (“Merger Sub I”), Apollo Acquisition Sub, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and direct wholly owned subsidiary of Acquiror (“Merger Sub II” and together with Merger Sub I, the “Merger Subs”), Omniome, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Shareholder Representative Services LLC, a Colorado limited liability company, solely in its capacity as the agent for and on behalf of the Securityholders under this Agreement (the “Securityholder Representative”). All capitalized terms that are used but not defined in this Agreement shall have the respective meanings ascribed to such terms in Annex A.

RECITALS

A. The respective boards of directors (or similar governing body) of each of the Merger Subs and the Company, and the board of directors (or an authorized committee thereof) of Acquiror, have determined that it would be advisable and in the best interests of each corporation or limited liability company, as applicable, and its respective stockholders or members, as applicable, that, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Acquiror acquire the Company through the statutory merger of Merger Sub I with and into the Company (the “First Merger”) and, as promptly as reasonably practicable thereafter, as part of the same overall transaction, the surviving entity of the First Merger would merge with and into Merger Sub II, pursuant to which Merger Sub II would survive and remain a wholly owned subsidiary of Acquiror (the “Second Merger” and collectively or in seriatim with the First Merger, as appropriate, the “Mergers”) upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and in accordance with the applicable provisions of Delaware Law, and in furtherance thereof, have approved this Agreement, the Mergers, and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

B. Pursuant to the First Merger, among other things, all of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company Common Stock and the Company Preferred Stock (together, the “Company Capital Stock”) (other than Cancelled Shares and Dissenting Shares) shall be converted into the right to receive consideration in the manner, and on the terms and subject to the conditions, set forth herein.

C. As a condition and material inducement to Acquiror’s willingness to enter into this Agreement, concurrently herewith, each of the Support Stockholders is executing and delivering to Acquiror a Support Agreement substantially in the form attached as Exhibit A (the “Support Agreement”).

D. As a condition and material inducement to Acquiror’s willingness to enter into this Agreement, concurrently herewith, each of the Key Employees is executing and delivering to Acquiror a Restrictive Covenant Agreement, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Restrictive Covenant Agreement”).

1

E. As a material inducement to Acquiror’s willingness to enter into this Agreement, the Company will, as promptly as practicable following the execution and delivery of this Agreement (and, in any event, within two (2) hours following the execution and delivery of this Agreement), deliver the written consent, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C (each, a “Stockholder Written Consent” and collectively, the “Stockholder Written Consents”), of the Support Stockholders and such other holders of Company Common Stock that, collectively, hold a number of shares sufficient to meet the Requisite Stockholder Approval.

F. As condition and material inducement to Acquiror’s willingness to enter into this Agreement, concurrently herewith, each of the Key Employees is agreeing to enter into an “at will” employment arrangement, effective as of the first Business Day after the Closing Date, by executing and delivering to Acquiror (i) Acquiror’s or its Affiliate’s form offer letter (an “Offer Letter”), (ii) Acquiror’s or such Affiliate’s form Confidential Information and Inventions Assignment Agreement, and (iii) Acquiror’s or such Affiliate’s other customary employment-related agreements and documents (collectively, the “Offer Documents” and the Offer Documents, as executed by the Key Employees, the “Key Employee Agreements”), each to be effective as of the first Business Day after the Closing Date.

G. For U.S. federal (and applicable state and local) income Tax purposes, each of the parties intends that (i) consistent with IRS Rev. Rul. 2001-46, 2001-2 C.B. 321, the First Merger and the Second Merger, taken together, constitute a single integrated transaction that qualifies as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder to which Acquiror and the Company are parties under Section 368(b) of the Code and (ii) this Agreement constitutes a “plan of reorganization,” with respect to the Mergers, within the meaning of Section 368 of the Code and Treasury Regulations Sections 1.368-2(g) and 1.368-3(a) (clauses (i) and (ii), the “Intended Tax Treatment”).

AGREEMENT

The parties therefore agree:

Each certificate or book-entry entitlement representing a share of common stock of Merger Sub I shall thereupon evidence ownership only of such shares of common stock of the First Step Surviving Corporation.

(b) Company Preferred Stock. At the First Effective Time, by virtue of the First Merger and without any action on the part of Acquiror, Merger Sub I, the Company, any Securityholder or any other Person, each share of Company Preferred Stock (excluding (i) Cancelled Shares, which shall be treated in the manner set forth in Section 1.3(d), and (ii) Dissenting Shares, which shall be treated in the manner set forth in Section 1.3(e)) that is issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the First Effective Time shall be cancelled and converted automatically into the right to receive, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement: the product of (x) the number of shares of Company Common Stock into which such share of Company Preferred Stock is convertible as of immediately prior to the First Effective Time (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be one (1) share of Company Common Stock per share of Company Preferred Stock), multiplied by (y) the sum of (A) the Per Share Cash Consideration, plus (B) the Per Share Stock Consideration, plus (C) the Per Share Milestone Consideration (if any), which amount shall only be payable in accordance with Section 2.4, plus (D) the Per Share Adjustment Amount (if any), which amount shall only be payable in accordance with Section 2.6.

(c) Company Common Stock. At the First Effective Time, by virtue of the First Merger and without any action on the part of Acquiror, Merger Sub I, the Company, any Securityholder or any other Person, each share of Company Common Stock (excluding (i) Cancelled Shares, which shall be treated in the manner set forth in Section 1.3(d), and (ii) Dissenting Shares, which shall be treated in the manner set forth in Section 1.3(e)) that is issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the First Effective Time shall be cancelled and converted automatically into the right to receive, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement: (A) the Per Share Cash Consideration, plus (B) the Per Share Stock Consideration, plus (C) the Per Share Milestone Consideration (if any), which amount shall only be payable in accordance with Section 2.4, plus (D) the Per Share Adjustment Amount (if any), which amount shall only be payable in accordance with Section 2.6; provided that the Per Share Stock Consideration and the Per Share Milestone Consideration shall be paid entirely in cash for any Company Common Stock that is held by an Unaccredited Investor.

At the First Effective Time, by virtue of the First Merger and without any action on the part of Acquiror, Merger Sub I, the Company, the Securityholders or any other Person, each share of Company Capital Stock that is issued and outstanding and held by the Company as of immediately prior to the First Effective Time (“Cancelled Shares”) shall be cancelled without any consideration paid therefor.

5

(e) Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, any shares of Company Capital Stock outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time and with respect to which the holder thereof has properly demanded and perfected appraisal rights in accordance with Delaware Law, and who has not effectively withdrawn or lost such holder’s appraisal rights under Delaware Law (collectively, the “Dissenting Shares”), shall not be converted into or represent a right to receive the applicable consideration for Company Capital Stock set forth in Section 1.3(b), but the holder thereof shall only be entitled to such rights as are provided by Delaware Law, as applicable (but only after the value therefor shall have been agreed upon or finally determined pursuant to such provisions). Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 1.3(e), if any holder of Dissenting Shares shall effectively withdraw or lose (through failure to perfect or otherwise) such holder’s appraisal rights under Delaware Law, then, as of the later of the First Effective Time and the occurrence of such event, such holder’s shares shall automatically be converted into and represent only the right to receive the consideration for Company Capital Stock, as applicable, set forth in Section 1.3(b), without interest thereon, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement (including the establishment and funding of the Expense Fund in accordance with Section 2.3(e) and delivery of the Exchange Documents in the manner provided in Section 2.3(c)). The Company shall give Acquiror prompt notice of any written demand for appraisal received by the Company pursuant to the applicable provisions of Delaware Law. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Acquiror, make any payment with respect to any such demands or offer to settle or settle any such demands. Any communication to be made by or on behalf of the Company to any Stockholder with respect to such demands shall be submitted to Acquiror in advance and shall not be presented to any Stockholder prior to the Company receiving Acquiror’s prior written consent.

(f) Treatment of Company Options.

(i) Vested Company Options. At the First Effective Time, by virtue of the First Merger and without any action on the part of the Company, Acquiror, the Optionholder or any other Person, each Vested Company Option that is unexpired, unexercised and outstanding as of immediately prior to the First Effective Time shall be automatically cancelled and extinguished and converted into the right to receive, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, for each share of Company Common Stock subject to such Vested Company Option, (A) the Per Share Cash Consideration less the per share exercise price of such Vested Company Option, plus (B) the Per Share Stock Consideration, plus (C) the Per Share Milestone Consideration (if any), which amount shall only be payable in accordance with Section 2.4, plus (D) the Per Share Adjustment Amount (if any), which amount shall only be payable in accordance with Section 2.6; provided that the Per Share Stock Consideration and the Per Share Milestone Consideration shall be paid entirely in cash for any Optionholder that Acquiror reasonably determines is an Unaccredited Investor. The amount of cash that each holder of Vested Company Option is entitled to receive therefor (the “Option Settlement Payments”) shall be rounded to the nearest whole cent, with $0.005 rounded up, and computed after aggregating the cash amounts for all Vested Company Options held by such holder, and will be reduced by any applicable payroll, income Tax or other withholding Taxes.

6

(ii) Unvested Company Options.

(A) At the First Effective Time, by virtue of the First Merger and without any action on the part of the Company, Acquiror, the Optionholder or any other Person, each Unvested Company Option that is held by a Continuing Employee that is unexpired, unexercised and outstanding as of immediately prior to the First Effective Time (each such Person to be referred to herein as an “Assumed Optionholder”), shall be assumed and converted into an option to purchase shares of Acquiror Common Stock (an “Assumed Option”) having the same terms, conditions and, subject to Section 1.3(f)(ii)(B), vesting schedule, as applied to the corresponding Unvested Company Option as of immediately prior to the First Effective Time except that (A) the Assumed Option will cover shares of Acquiror Common Stock; (B) the number of shares of Acquiror Common Stock subject to the Assumed Option will be equal to the product of (x) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to the corresponding Unvested Company Option as of immediately prior to the First Effective Time, multiplied by (y) the Exchange Ratio, with any resulting fractional share rounded down to the nearest whole share; (C) the exercise price per share of Acquiror Common Stock subject to the Assumed Option will be equal to the quotient of (x) the exercise price per share of Company Common Stock of such corresponding Company Option as of immediately prior to the First Effective Time, divided by (y) the Exchange Ratio, with any resulting fractional cent rounded up to the nearest whole cent; and (D) all references to the “Company” in the Plan and the Company Option agreements will be references to Acquiror.

(B) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 1.3(f)(ii), on the earliest of (x) the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date, (y) the date of the Key Employee’s termination of employment without Cause by Acquiror or any of its Affiliates (including the Surviving Entity) and (z) the date on which the Milestone Event is achieved (the earliest of (x), (y) and (z), the “Acceleration Event”), each Assumed Option held by an Assumed Optionholders that is a Key Employee that remains unvested and is unexpired, unexercised and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Acceleration Event shall vest automatically as of the date of the Acceleration Event, without further action by or on behalf of Acquiror or such Key Employee.

(iii) At the First Effective Time, each Unvested Company Option outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time that is held by a Person other than a Continuing Employee shall be terminated and cancelled for no consideration.

(iv) Prior to the Closing, and subject to the prior review and approval of Acquiror (acting reasonably), the Company shall take all actions reasonably necessary to effect the transactions contemplated by this Section 1.3(f) under the Plan and any Contract applicable to any Company Option (whether written or oral, formal or informal), including delivering all required notices and using commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all necessary approvals and consents (including appropriate option cancellation agreements).

(v) Subject to Section 2.7, Acquiror shall cause the First Step Surviving Corporation or the Surviving Entity, as applicable, to pay, no later than the second regular payroll cycle occurring after the Closing, to each holder of a Vested Company Option the cash amounts payable to such holder pursuant to this Section 1.3(f), with such payments to be made through the First Step Surviving Corporation’s or the Surviving Entity’s payroll processing system (as applicable) in accordance with standard payroll practices.

7

(vi) Promptly after the Closing Date (but in no event more than five (5) Business Days thereafter), Acquiror shall file or otherwise have available a registration statement on Form S-8 (or other appropriate form) with respect to the shares of Acquiror Common Stock subject to the Assumed Options.

(g) Treatment of Company Warrants. Any Company Warrants that are not exercised immediately prior to the First Effective Time shall be treated in accordance with their terms and deemed to be exercised on a net exercise basis for a number of shares of Company Series B-1 or Company Series B-2 Convertible Preferred Stock, as applicable, as of immediately prior to the First Effective Time.

(h) Calculations.

(i) For purposes of calculating the amount of cash and number of shares of Acquiror Common Stock issuable under this Agreement with respect to shares of a particular class or series of Company Capital Stock held by a particular Stockholder, the consideration payable shall be calculated on a certificate-by-certificate basis. No fraction of a share of Acquiror Common Stock will be issued by virtue of the First Merger or the Milestone Event. Any Securityholder who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fraction of a share of Acquiror Common Stock shall instead be entitled to receive an amount of cash equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) such fraction by (ii) the value of the Acquiror Common Stock used in the calculation of the Stock Consideration or the Milestone Stock Consideration, as applicable, rounded down to the nearest whole cent. Except as set forth in Section 2.4, all payments to be made by Acquiror under this Agreement shall be without interest.

(ii) For purposes of this Agreement, any reference to shares of Company Common Stock issuable upon the full exercise of Company Options will assume that such Company Options then outstanding are then fully vested and exercisable.

1.4 Effects of the Second Merger on Securities of Merger Sub II.

(a) First Step Surviving Corporation Capital Stock. At the Second Effective Time, by virtue of the Second Merger and without any action on the part of Acquiror, the First Step Surviving Corporation, Merger Sub II, or any other Person, each share of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the First Step Surviving Corporation issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Second Effective Time shall be cancelled without any consideration therefor.

(b) Merger Sub II Limited Liability Company Interests. At the Second Effective Time, by virtue of the Second Merger and without any action on the part of Acquiror, the First Step Surviving Corporation, Merger Sub II, or any other Person, each limited liability company interest of Merger Sub II shall remain unchanged and continue to remain outstanding as a limited liability company interest in the Surviving Entity.

8

1.5 Tax Status.

(a) This Agreement is intended to constitute, and the parties hereto hereby adopt this Agreement as, a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Sections 1.368-2(g) and 1.368-3(a). Each of the parties and their respective Affiliates shall file all Tax Returns consistent with the Intended Tax Treatment (including attaching the statement described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.368-3(a) on or with its Tax Return for the taxable year of the Mergers), and shall take no position inconsistent with the Intended Tax Treatment (whether in audits, Tax Returns or otherwise), except upon a contrary determination by an applicable Tax authority after an audit or examination in which the Intended Tax Treatment was defended diligently and in good faith.

(b) Each of the parties (other than the Securityholder Representative) and their respective Affiliates and Representatives shall cooperate and use its respective commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Mergers, taken together, to qualify for the Intended Tax Treatment, and not take any action (or knowingly fail to take any action) which action (or knowing failure to act), whether before or after the Closing, would reasonably be expected to prevent or impede the Mergers, taken together, from qualifying for the Intended Tax Treatment. Each party shall promptly notify the other parties in writing if, before the Closing Date, such party knows or has reason to believe that the Mergers, taken together, may not qualify for the Intended Tax Treatment. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary (other than the limitation set forth in Section 2.7), (i) the allocation of Merger Consideration as among cash and Acquiror Common Stock allocable to Securityholders shall be adjusted, by decreasing the cash portion and correspondingly increasing the portion of Merger Consideration paid in shares of Acquiror Common Stock valued in accordance with the valuation methodology set forth in the definition of “Stock Consideration,” if and to the extent necessary to assure that the Securityholders receive sufficient Acquiror Common Stock such that, when aggregated with Acquiror Common Stock previously paid as Merger Consideration to the Securityholders (if any), the amount of Acquiror Common Stock is not less than the minimum amount of Acquiror Common Stock necessary to satisfy the requirements for qualification as a reorganization under Section 368(a)(1)(A) of the Code and (ii) any portion of the Milestone Cash Payment may be paid in shares of Acquiror Common Stock valued in accordance with the valuation methodology set forth in the definition of “Milestone Stock Consideration” instead of cash, if and to the extent necessary to assure that the Securityholders receive sufficient Acquiror Common Stock such that, when aggregated with Acquiror Common Stock previously paid as Merger Consideration to the Securityholders (if any), the amount of Acquiror Common Stock is not less than the minimum amount of Acquiror Common Stock necessary to satisfy the requirements for qualification as a reorganization under Section 368(a)(1)(A) of the Code; provided that to the extent an adjustment required by this Section 1.5(b) would exceed the limitation set forth in Section 2.7, then no such adjustment shall be made.

1.6 Issuance of Acquiror Common Stock.

(a) The shares of Acquiror Common Stock issuable pursuant to this Agreement are intended to be issued pursuant to one or more exemptions from registration under the Securities Act, including those under Regulation D of the Securities Act, and the exemption from qualification under applicable state securities Law. The Company shall assist Acquiror as may be necessary to comply with the securities and blue sky Laws relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

9

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in the event that Acquiror reasonably believes that one or more Stockholders or holders of Vested Company Options are not Accredited Investors (any such Person, an “Unaccredited Investor”), Acquiror may elect to pay the Per Share Stock Consideration or Per Share Milestone Consideration with respect to such Unaccredited Investor solely in cash to such Unaccredited Investor. Any such election by Acquiror to pay cash to an Unaccredited Investor shall not change the aggregate amount of cash that Acquiror is obligated to pay pursuant to this Article I but shall result in the appropriate reduction of the portion of the Estimated Cash Consideration or the Milestone Cash Payment, as applicable, and the appropriate proportionate increase in the portion of the Stock Consideration or the Milestone Stock Consideration, as applicable, payable to Accredited Investors.

(c) Each book-entry entitlement representing shares of Acquiror Common Stock (or any other securities issued in respect of such shares upon any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, merger, consolidation or similar event) issued or issuable to or held by the Securityholders in accordance with the terms hereof shall bear the following legend (in addition to any other legends required by applicable Law or Acquiror’s organizational documents):

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 (THE “ACT”) AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED UNLESS AND UNTIL REGISTERED UNDER THE ACT OR, IN THE OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER OF THESE SECURITIES, SUCH OFFER, SALE OR TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR HYPOTHECATION IS IN COMPLIANCE THEREWITH.

THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER AND A RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL HELD BY THE ISSUER OR ITS ASSIGNEE(S) AS SET FORTH IN AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE ISSUER AND THE ORIGINAL HOLDER OF THESE SHARES, A COPY OF WHICH MAY BE OBTAINED AT THE PRINCIPAL OFFICE OF THE ISSUER. SUCH TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS AND RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL ARE BINDING ON TRANSFEREES OF THESE SHARES.

THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER FOR A PERIOD OF TIME FOLLOWING THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THE UNDERWRITTEN PUBLIC OFFERING OF THE COMPANY’S SECURITIES SET FORTH IN AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE ISSUER AND THE ORIGINAL HOLDER OF THESE SHARES AND MAY NOT BE SOLD OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF BY THE HOLDER PRIOR TO THE EXPIRATION OF SUCH PERIOD WITHOUT THE CONSENT OF THE COMPANY OR THE MANAGING UNDERWRITER.

10

(d) Restrictions on Transfer. The shares of Acquiror Common Stock issuable pursuant to this Agreement shall constitute “restricted securities” under the Securities Act, and as such may not be transferred absent registration under the Securities Act or an exemption therefrom, and any such Transfer shall also be conditioned on compliance with applicable state and foreign securities Laws. Each Securityholder who receives shares of Acquiror Common Stock and every transferee or assignee of any shares of Acquiror Common Stock from any Securityholder shall be bound by and subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 1.6.

1.7 Taking of Necessary Action; Further Action. If at any time after the First Effective Time, any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement and to vest the First Step Surviving Corporation with full right, title and possession to all assets, property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of the Company or the Surviving Entity with full right, title and possession to all assets, property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of Merger Sub II, as applicable, the officers and directors or managing members, as applicable, of the Company, Acquiror, the First Step Surviving Corporation, the Surviving Entity and their Affiliates are fully authorized in the name of their respective entities or otherwise to take, and will take, all such lawful and necessary action.

(e) Expense Fund. At the Closing, Acquiror shall retain and hold back an amount in cash equal to each Stockholder’s and holder of Vested Company Options’ Pro Rata Portion of the Expense Fund Amount from the cash consideration otherwise payable to such Person pursuant to Section 1.3(b). At or promptly after the Closing, Acquiror shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, with the Securityholder Representative the Expense Fund Amount into an account designated by the Securityholder Representative in a written notice delivered to Acquiror at least two Business Days prior to the Closing Date (the “Expense Fund”), and, upon such deposit, Acquiror shall be deemed to have contributed to the Expense Fund, on behalf of each such Securityholder, his, her, or its Pro Rata Portion of the Expense Fund Amount. The Expense Fund shall be accessed, and the Expense Fund Amount shall be used, solely by the Securityholder Representative to pay any fees, costs or other expenses it may incur in performing its duties or exercising its rights under this Agreement or the Securityholder Representative Engagement Agreement. The Expense Fund shall be treated as received and deposited by the applicable Securityholders at Closing for Tax purposes and be held for the benefit of such Securityholders. The Securityholder Representative will hold these funds separately from its corporate funds and will not voluntarily make these funds available to its creditors in the event of bankruptcy. The applicable Securityholders will not receive any interest or earnings on the Expense Fund and irrevocably transfer and assign to the Securityholder Representative any ownership right that they may otherwise have had in any such interest or earnings. Upon conclusion of the Securityholder Representative’s duties hereunder, the Securityholder Representative shall disburse any amounts then-remaining in the Expense Fund (the “Expense Fund Release Amount”) to the applicable Securityholders (or to the Exchange Agent or other Person, if so designated by Acquiror, on their behalf, and who will thereafter distribute the Expense Fund Release Amount to such Securityholders) in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Portions. The Securityholder Representative is not providing any investment supervision, recommendations or advice and will not be liable for any loss of principal of the Expense Fund Amount other than as a result of its gross negligence, bad faith, fraud or willful misconduct. The Securityholder Representative is not acting as a withholding agent or in any similar capacity in connection with the Expense Fund Amount, and has no tax reporting or income distribution obligations hereunder.

2.4 Milestone.

(a) Payment.

(i) Within ten Business Days following the Milestone Achievement Date, Acquiror shall notify the Securityholder Representative of the achievement of the Milestone Event and shall pay or cause to be paid (A) an amount of cash equal to $100,000,000 minus the Jefferies Payment (the “Milestone Cash Payment”) and (B) the Milestone Stock Consideration ((A) and (B) collectively, the “Milestone Payment”), to (x) the Exchange Agent for further payment to the Stockholders and holders of Vested Company Options who were not employees of the Company as of the date of grant or at any time during the vesting period of such Company Option (the “Milestone Non-Employee Securityholders”) and (y) the Company (prior to the Closing Date) or the First Step Surviving Corporation or the Surviving Entity (after the Closing Date), as applicable, for further payment to holders of Company Options who were employees of the Company as of the date of grant or at any time during the vesting period of such Company Option (the “Milestone Employee Securityholders” and together with the Milestone Non-Employee Securityholders, the “Milestone Securityholders”), which payment shall occur no later than the second regular payroll cycle occurring after the Milestone Event and shall be made through the First Step Surviving Corporation’s or the Surviving Entity’s payroll processing system (as applicable) in accordance with standard payroll practices, in each case of (x) and (y) in accordance with the Payment Spreadsheet and in the manner consistent with the prior payments under this Agreement; provided that the Milestone Stock Consideration shall be paid entirely in cash for any Milestone Securityholder that Acquiror reasonably determines is an Unaccredited Investor. Within five Business Days following the Milestone Achievement Date, Acquiror shall pay or cause to be paid in cash the contingent fee amount set forth in the Payment Spreadsheet (the “Jefferies Payment”) in accordance with the instructions on the Payment Spreadsheet. Once the Milestone Payment and the Jefferies Payment have been made pursuant to this Section 2.4, Acquiror shall have no further obligations to any Person, including the Milestone Securityholders, with respect thereto or the Milestone Event related thereto. For purposes of this Agreement, “Milestone Event” means the First Commercial Shipment of a Product and the date on which the Milestone Event occurs is referred to as the “Milestone Achievement Date.”

(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 2.4(a) or Section 1.3(f), the consideration payable (if any) in connection with Section 2.4(a) will be appropriately increased to reflect the portion of the Milestone Payment allocable to any Assumed Option (or portion thereof) that has been forfeited on or prior to the Milestone Achievement Date (it being understood that such adjustment will be equal to the full value attributable to such allocable portion but will be paid entirely in cash). Promptly after the Milestone Achievement Date, Acquiror will provide the Securityholder Representative with a reasonably detailed (without disclosing confidential or personally identifiable information) accounting of the adjustment contemplated by this Section 2.4(a)(ii). For the avoidance of doubt, such Milestone Payment allocable to any Assumed Option (or portion thereof) that is forfeited after the Milestone Achievement Date shall be retained by Acquiror.

19

(b) Return of Milestone Payment; No Liability. Any portion of the Milestone Payment that remains unclaimed by the applicable Milestone Securityholders on the date that is six months following the Milestone Achievement Date shall be delivered to Acquiror. Any Milestone Securityholder that has not theretofore received any portion of the Milestone Payment due and payable to such Milestone Securityholder pursuant to this Section 2.4, shall thereafter look only to Acquiror and the Surviving Entity for payment of the applicable portion of the Milestone Payment (after giving effect to any required Tax withholdings and without any interest thereon), and then, only as a general unsecured creditor. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.4(a) none of Acquiror, Merger Sub I, the Company, the First Step Surviving Corporation, the Surviving Entity, the Securityholder Representative, the Exchange Agent or any other Person shall be liable to any Person for any Milestone Payment properly delivered to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar applicable Law.

(c) Rights. The right of the Milestone Securityholders to receive the Milestone Payment (A) is solely a contractual right and will not be evidenced by a certificate or other instrument, (B) does not constitute a security, (C) may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, encumbered or in any other manner transferred or disposed of, in whole or in part, except by will or intestacy, by operation of law or with the consent of Acquiror, (D) does not represent any equity or ownership interest in Acquiror or in any constituent company to the Mergers or any of their respective Affiliates, (E) does not give the Milestone Securityholders any right to receive interest payments except as set forth in Section 2.4(d)(viii) and (F) shall (together with the Milestone Payment if actually paid) be treated by the parties as consideration in respect of Company Common Stock or Company Options, as applicable, for applicable income tax purposes.

(d) Covenants.

(i) If the Milestone Event occurs prior to the First Effective Time, Acquiror shall not be obligated to make the Milestone Payment unless the First Effective Time occurs, and the Milestone Payment will be payable at the First Effective Time.

(ii) Until Acquiror has paid the Milestone Payment in full pursuant to this Agreement, Acquiror, the First Step Surviving Corporation and the Surviving Entity shall, and shall cause any of their respective subsidiaries or Affiliates, to act in good faith and use Diligent Commercially Reasonable Milestone Efforts to achieve the Milestone Event. Further, Acquiror agrees that none of Acquiror, the First Step Surviving Corporation or the Surviving Entity will take any action, or omit to take any action, with the intent of avoiding payment of the Milestone Payment.

(iii) Until Acquiror has paid the Merger Consideration in full pursuant to this Agreement (the “Reporting Period”), Acquiror shall provide the Securityholder Representative, within sixty (60) days following January 1 and July 1 of each calendar year, with reasonably detailed semiannual reports of the (a) status of efforts to achieve the Milestone Event and (b) the funds and resources invested in the immediately preceding two calendar quarters. The Securityholder Representative may disclose each such report (including its analysis thereof) to its Representatives, to the Advisory Group and to each Milestone Securityholder so long as each such Person receiving any such report (or analysis thereof) is subject to reasonable confidentiality obligations with (x) Acquiror, the First Step Surviving Corporation or the Surviving Entity and (y)

20

the Securityholder Representative with respect thereto. Within thirty (30) days after receipt of such a report, if the Securityholder Representative has inquiries regarding the status of activities described in such report, the Securityholder Representative may request a meeting with Representatives of Acquiror to discuss such report, and Acquiror shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make available for such a meeting (which may be held via teleconference) the relevant employees or Representatives responsible for the activities set forth in the report.

(iv) During the Reporting Period, Acquiror shall, and shall cause its Affiliates (including the First Step Surviving Corporation and the Surviving Entity) to, keep accurate books and records relating to efforts to achieve the Milestone Event.

(v) During the Reporting Period, neither Acquiror nor its Affiliates (including the First Step Surviving Corporation and the Surviving Entity) shall transfer, sell, license or assign (collectively, the “Asset Transfer”) to any third Person who is not an Affiliate of Acquiror all or substantially all of the rights (including Intellectual Property Rights covering any of the Sequencing by Binding Technology) (the “Transferred Assets”) unless (i) the assignee or other transferee expressly agrees in writing to assume the obligations from Acquiror and its Affiliates corresponding to the Transferred Assets and that the obligations of Acquiror under this Agreement, including those obligations with respect to the use of Diligent Commercially Reasonable Milestone Efforts to achieve the Milestone Event and the payment of the Milestone Payment pursuant to Section 2.4(a)(i) corresponding to the Transferred Assets, shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to such assignee or transferee; (ii) the Securityholder Representative (on behalf of the Milestone Securityholders) is made an express third party beneficiary of such written agreement and (iii) either (A) such assignee or transferee is a Comparable Entity or (B) the Securityholder Representative (on behalf of the Milestone Securityholders) has provided written consent to the Asset Transfer. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 2.4(d)(v) will not be applicable in connection with a change of control or similar transaction involving Acquiror that does not result in a divestiture or separate spin out or transfer, sale, license or assignment of the Transferred Assets to a party other than the party acquiring Acquiror in the change of control transaction.

(vi) In the event of the occurrence of any of the following events, the Milestone Payment, if not previously paid, shall be immediately due and payable in full: (A) Acquiror commences any proceeding in bankruptcy or for dissolution, liquidation, winding-up, or other relief under state or federal bankruptcy laws; (B) any such proceeding is commenced against Acquiror, or a receiver or trustee is appointed for Acquiror, the First Step Surviving Corporation or the Surviving Entity or a substantial part of its respective property, and such proceeding or appointment is not dismissed or discharged within 60 days after its commencement; or (C) Acquiror makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or petitions or applies to any tribunal for the appointment of a custodian, receiver or trustee for all or substantially all of its assets or has a receiver, custodian or trustee appointed for all or substantially all of its assets.

(vii) If Acquiror ceases performance of any of the activities required to achieve any Milestone Event, then Acquiror shall, or shall cause its Affiliates to, send written notice of each such cessation to Securityholder Representative together with a detailed explanation for such cessation of activities. Acquiror or its Affiliate’s satisfaction of its obligations pursuant to the foregoing sentence shall not relieve Acquiror of any of its obligations under this Agreement, including (A) the obligation to act in good faith and use Diligent Commercially Reasonable Milestone Efforts to cause the Milestone Event to be achieved as soon as possible and (B) payment of the Milestone Payment.

21

(viii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this agreement, all payments to be made by Acquiror under this Agreement shall be without interest; provided that any amount of Milestone Payment not paid when due pursuant to Section 2.4(a) shall also bear interest from the date on which such amount is first due until the date paid at a rate per annum equal to three percent per annum compounded quarterly. Such interest shall be payable at the same time as the payment to which it relates and shall be calculated daily on the basis of a year of 365 days and the actual number of days elapsed.

(e) Dispute Resolutions. If the Securityholder Representative in good faith believes that Acquiror is breaching any of its obligations under this Section 2.4, then the Securityholder Representative may provide Acquiror with written notice thereof and provide reasonable detail regarding such alleged breaches. Acquiror shall designate representatives, including at least one senior executive of Acquiror or any of its Affiliates with operating responsibility for the Milestone Event, to meet with the Securityholder Representative within 45 calendar days from the date of such notice to address in good faith the Securityholder Representative’s belief that Acquiror is breaching one or more obligations under this Section 2.4. Acquiror shall work together with the Securityholder Representative to schedule a meeting (in person at a mutually acceptable location, or via conference calls) to address the asserted breach of obligations, and Acquiror and the Securityholder Representative shall endeavor in good faith to resolve any dispute.

2.5 Withholding Taxes. The Company, Acquiror, the First Step Surviving Corporation and the Surviving Entity and each of their Affiliates and Representatives (as applicable) shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any consideration payable or otherwise deliverable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as are required to be deducted or withheld therefrom under any provision of federal, state, local or foreign Tax Law or under any Laws or Orders, and to be provided any necessary Tax forms, including IRS Form W-9 or the appropriate series of IRS Form W-8, as applicable, or any similar information. In the case of deliveries of Acquiror Common Stock, any such withholding shall be effected and withheld from the cash payable pursuant to this Agreement.

2.6 Post-Closing Adjustment.

(a) Not less than five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall deliver to Acquiror a written schedule (the “Estimated Closing Statement”) setting forth in reasonable detail, and that has been prepared in accordance with the Accounting Principles, the Company’s good faith estimate of (i) the Closing Cash (the “Estimated Closing Cash”), (ii) the Closing Indebtedness (the “Estimated Closing Indebtedness”), (iii) the Third Party Expenses (the “Estimated Third Party Expenses”), (iv) the Closing Net Working Capital (the “Estimated Closing Net Working Capital”), (v) the Unpaid Pre-Closing Taxes (the “Estimated Unpaid Pre-Closing Taxes”), and (vi) the Working Capital Adjustment Amount (the “Estimated Working Capital Adjustment Amount”). The Company shall consider in good faith any of Acquiror’s reasonable comments to such Estimated Closing Statement and the figures and calculations set forth thereon and provide any additional supporting documentation reasonably requested by Acquiror.

22

(b) Within 60 calendar days following the Closing, Acquiror shall prepare and deliver to the Securityholder Representative a written schedule (the “Closing Statement”) setting forth in reasonable detail, and that has been prepared in accordance with the Accounting Principles, its calculation of (i) the Closing Cash, (ii) the Closing Indebtedness, (iii) the Third Party Expenses, (iv) the Closing Net Working Capital, (v) the Unpaid Pre-Closing Taxes, and (vi) the Working Capital Adjustment Amount; provided, however, that if Acquiror fails to provide such written schedule to the Securityholder Representative within such 60-day period, then the Estimated Closing Statement shall be deemed to be the Closing Statement (without modification) and shall be final, binding and conclusive for all purposes hereunder. Following the Closing, Acquiror shall use its reasonable best efforts to cooperate with the Securityholder Representative to provide the Securityholder Representative and its representatives reasonable access (including by electronic delivery of documents), during regular business hours, in such a manner as to not interfere with the normal operation of Acquiror, the First Step Surviving Corporation or the Surviving Entity, and upon reasonable advance notice, to its relevant work papers (subject to the execution of customary work paper access letters, if requested) and books and records relating to the preparation of the Closing Statement solely for the purpose of assisting the Securityholder Representative in its review of the Closing Statement and the calculations contained therein.

(c) The Closing Statement shall become final and binding at the end of the 30th day following delivery thereof, unless prior to the end of such period, the Securityholder Representative shall notify Acquiror of its disagreement with the calculations in the Closing Statement in writing (the “Dispute Notice”). The Dispute Notice must set forth in reasonable detail (A) any item on the Closing Statement which the Securityholder Representative believes has not been prepared in accordance with this Agreement and the Securityholder Representative’s determination of the amount of such item and (B) the Securityholder Representative’s alternative calculation of the Closing Cash, the Closing Indebtedness, the Third Party Expenses, the Unpaid Pre-Closing Taxes, the Closing Net Working Capital and/or the Working Capital Adjustment Amount, as the case may be. Any item or amount that Securityholder Representative does not dispute in reasonable detail in the Dispute Notice shall be final, binding and conclusive for all purposes hereunder. In the event any such Dispute Notice is timely provided, Acquiror and Securityholder Representative shall each use commercially reasonable efforts for a period of 30 days (or such longer period as they may mutually agree) to resolve any disagreements with respect to the calculations included in the Closing Statement that were disputed in the Dispute Notice. If, at the end of such period, the Securityholder Representative and Acquiror remain unable to resolve the dispute in its entirety, then the unresolved items and amounts thereof in dispute shall be submitted to a nationally recognized independent accounting firm, reasonably acceptable to Acquiror and Securityholder Representative, which shall not be the independent accountants of Acquiror or the Company (the “Dispute Auditor”). The Dispute Auditor shall determine, based solely on the provisions of Section 2.6(c) and the written presentations by Securityholder Representative and Acquiror, and not by independent review, only those items and amounts that remain then in dispute as set forth in the Dispute Notice. The Dispute Auditor’s determination of the Closing Cash, the Closing Indebtedness, the Third Party Expenses, the Unpaid Pre-Closing Taxes, the Closing Net Working Capital and/or the Working Capital Adjustment Amount, as applicable, shall be made within 45 days after the dispute is submitted for its determination and shall be set forth in a written statement delivered to Securityholder Representative and Acquiror. The Dispute Auditor shall have exclusive jurisdiction over, and resorting to the Dispute Auditor as provided in this Section 2.6(c) shall be the only recourse and remedy of the parties against one

23

another with respect to, those items and amounts that remain in dispute under this Section 2.6(c). The Dispute Auditor shall allocate its fees and expenses between Acquiror and Securityholder Representative according to the degree to which the positions of the respective parties are not accepted by the Dispute Auditor. In no event shall the decision of the Dispute Auditor assign a value to any item greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by either Acquiror or Securityholder Representative or lesser than the smallest value for such item claimed by either Acquiror or Securityholder Representative. Any determinations made by the Dispute Auditor pursuant to this Section 2.6(c) shall be final, non-appealable and binding on the parties hereto, absent manifest error or fraud. The fees and disbursements of the representatives of each party incurred in connection with their preparation or review of the Closing Statement and preparation or review of any Dispute Notice, as applicable, shall be borne by such party.

(d) At the Closing, Acquiror shall retain and hold back an amount in cash equal to each Stockholder’s and holder of Vested Company Options’ Pro Rata Portion of the Adjustment Fund Amount from the cash consideration otherwise payable to such Person pursuant to Section 1.3(b), Section 1.3(c) and Section 1.3(f)(i). At or promptly after the Closing, Acquiror shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, pursuant to an escrow agreement in customary form with Acquiom Clearinghouse LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Escrow Agent”), the Adjustment Fund Amount into an account designated by the Company in a written notice delivered to Acquiror at least three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date (the “Adjustment Fund”), and, upon such deposit, Acquiror shall be deemed to have contributed to the Adjustment Fund, on behalf of such Securityholder, his, her, or its Pro Rata Portion of the Adjustment Fund Amount. The Adjustment Fund shall be accessed, and the Adjustment Fund Amount shall be used, solely by the Securityholder Representative to pay any Adjustment Amount owed to Acquiror as finally determined by the Dispute Auditor pursuant to Section 2.6(c). The Adjustment Fund shall be treated as received and deposited by the applicable Securityholders at Closing for Tax purposes and be held as a trust fund for the benefit of the applicable Securityholders and shall not be subject to any Lien, attachment, trustee process or any other judicial process of any creditor of any Person.

(e) If the Adjustment Amount is a positive number, then the Merger Consideration shall be increased by the Adjustment Amount, and if the Adjustment Amount is a negative number, then the Merger Consideration shall be decreased by the Adjustment Amount. If the Adjustment Amount is a positive number, then prior to any distribution of the Adjustment Amount to the applicable Securityholders, the Securityholder Representative shall deliver to Acquiror and the Exchange Agent an updated Closing Statement (which need not be certified by an officer of the Company) setting forth the portion of the Adjustment Amount payable to each Securityholder. Within five (5) Business Days after the final determination of the Adjustment Amount, (i) Acquiror shall pay to the Exchange Agent the portion of the Adjustment Amount due to the Stockholders for further distribution to the Stockholders based on each such Securityholder’s Pro Rata Portion of the Adjustment Amount, (ii) Acquiror shall pay the portion of the Adjustment Amount due to the Optionholders holding Vested Company Options based on each such Optionholder’s Pro Rata Portion of the Adjustment Amount through the First Step Surviving Corporation’s or the Surviving Entity’s customary payroll processes (as applicable) (the “Payroll Processor”) within one payroll period after the final determination of the amount and (iii) the Securityholder Representative shall direct the Escrow Agent to deliver all amounts then-remaining in the Adjustment Fund (the “Adjustment Fund Release Amount”) to the Exchange Agent and/or the Payroll Processor (as applicable) for further distribution to the Stockholders and the Optionholders holding Vested Company Options in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Portions.

24

(f) If the Adjustment Amount is a negative number, then within five Business Days after the final determination of such amount (the “Acquiror Adjustment Amount”) in accordance with Section 2.6(c), the Securityholder Representative shall direct the Escrow Agent to disburse to Acquiror from the Adjustment Fund, cash equal to the absolute value of the Acquiror Adjustment Amount. For the avoidance of doubt, any then-remaining amounts in the Adjustment Fund shall represent Acquiror’s sole and exclusive recourse with respect to any Acquiror Adjustment Amount. Within five Business Days after the disbursement of the Acquiror Adjustment Amount from the Adjustment Fund, the Securityholder Representative shall direct the Escrow Agent to disburse all amounts then-remaining in the Adjustment Fund, if any, to the Exchange Agent and/or the Payroll Processor (as applicable) for further distribution to the Stockholders and the Optionholders holding Vested Company Options in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Portions.

(g) “Adjustment Amount” means the net amount (if disputed, as finally determined in accordance with Section 2.6(c) (as applicable)), which may be positive or negative, equal to:

(i) the Closing Cash minus the amount of the Estimated Closing Cash; plus

(ii) the Estimated Closing Indebtedness minus the amount of Closing Indebtedness; plus

(iii) the Estimated Third Party Expenses minus the amount of Third Party Expenses; plus

(iv) the Estimated Unpaid Pre-Closing Taxes minus the amount of Unpaid Pre-Closing Taxes; plus

(v) the Working Capital Adjustment Amount minus the amount of the Estimated Working Capital Adjustment Amount.

(h) On the Closing Date, (i) Acquiror shall cause the payment of the Estimated Third Party Expenses, if any, to the Persons identified on the Estimated Closing Statement and (ii) Acquiror shall cause the payment of the Estimated Closing Indebtedness, if any, to the Persons identified on the Estimated Closing Statement. The Company shall deliver all applicable wire instructions for the payment of any Estimated Third Party Expenses or Estimated Closing Indebtedness to Acquiror at least three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing.

2.7 Maximum Consideration. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in no event shall the aggregate consideration payable by Acquiror hereunder with respect to shares of Company Capital Stock (other than any excess amounts paid with respect to Dissenting Shares) and Company Options exceed the sum of the Merger Consideration plus the Milestone Payment plus any excess amount paid with respect to Assumed Options if the Milestone Payment is never earned. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Acquiror will not issue any shares of Acquiror Common Stock as part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in excess of an amount equal to (a) 19.9 percent of its outstanding shares of Acquiror Common Stock on the date of Closing less (b) 11,500,000 shares of Acquiror Common Stock.

(d) Except for the shares of Company Capital Stock, the Company Options and the Company Warrants, as of the Agreement Date, there are no outstanding Company Securities. There are no rights, agreements, arrangements or commitments of any kind or character, written or oral, to which the Company is a party or by which the Company is bound obligating the Company to repurchase or redeem, or cause to be repurchased or redeemed, any shares of the capital stock of the Company or otherwise acquire any Company Securities.

(f) Section 3.5(f) of the Disclosure Schedule sets forth, as of the Agreement Date, all Indebtedness of the Company, including (i) the amount of such Indebtedness, (ii) a breakdown of the components of such Indebtedness, including any prepayment premiums, penalties, breakage costs, “make whole amounts,” costs, expenses and other payment obligations that would arise if any or all of such Indebtedness were prepaid, extinguished, unwound and settled in full prior to maturity and (iii) any assets securing such Indebtedness. Other than as set forth on Section 3.5(f) of the Disclosure Schedule, the Company has no outstanding Indebtedness.

3.10 Real Property. The Company does not own and has never owned any real property nor is the Company party to any Contract to purchase or sell any real property.

parties thereto, the date and term of the lease, license, sublease or other occupancy right, the aggregate annual rent payable thereunder and all amendments, terminations and modifications thereof (the “Lease Agreements”). The Company has provided Acquiror with true, correct and complete copies of all Lease Agreements. All such Lease Agreements are in full force and effect and are valid and enforceable in accordance with their respective terms subject to the Bankruptcy and Equity Exception. There is not, under any Lease Agreements, any existing default or event of default (or event which with notice or lapse of time, or both, would constitute a default) of the Company, or to the Company’s Knowledge, any other party thereto. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Company does not, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will not, result in any material breach of or constitute a material default (or an event that with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or materially impair the rights of the Company or materially alter the rights or obligations of the sublessor, lessor or licensor under, or give to others any material rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of any Lease Agreements, or otherwise materially adversely affect the continued use and possession of the Leased Real Property for the conduct of business as presently conducted. The Company currently occupies all of the Leased Real Property for the operation of its business. There are no other parties occupying, or with a right to occupy, the Leased Real Property. All security deposits and letters of credit given or received by the Company under the Lease Agreements remain in place in the full amounts required under the Lease Agreements and have not expired, been drawn upon or otherwise applied. The Company has not entered into any agreement, whether written, or oral, to defer rent or any other obligation under any Lease Agreement or with respect to any Leased Real Property to any period after the Closing Date and no rent or other obligation under a Lease Agreement or with respect to any Leased Real Property has been deferred in such manner. The operation of the Company on the Leased Real Property does not, nor does, to the Company’s Knowledge, such Leased Real Property, violate any Law relating to such property or operations thereon. The Company has performed all of its obligations under any termination agreements pursuant to which it has terminated any leases of real property that are no longer in effect and has no continuing liability with respect to such terminated real property leases. The Company is not party to any agreement or subject to any claim that may require the payment of any real estate brokerage commissions, and no such commission is owed with respect to any of the Leased Real Property. The Company expects to be able to continue to have the right to occupy the Leased Real Property through the remainder of the term of the applicable Lease Agreement.

If Acquiror, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates shall receive a request for additional information or documentary material from any Governmental Entity with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement pursuant to the HSR Act or any other Antitrust Laws, then such party shall use its reasonable best efforts to make, or cause to be made, as soon as reasonably practicable and after consultation with such other party, an appropriate response in compliance with such request. In connection with and without limiting the foregoing, to the extent reasonably practicable and unless prohibited by applicable Law or by the applicable Governmental Entity, each of the parties to this Agreement shall (i) give each other reasonable advance notice of all meetings or telephone or video conference with any Governmental Entity relating to the Mergers, (ii) give each other an opportunity to participate in each of such meetings or conferences, (iii) keep such other party reasonably apprised with respect to any oral communications with any Governmental Entity regarding the Mergers, (iv) cooperate in the filing of any analyses, presentations, memoranda, briefs, arguments, opinions or other written communications explaining or defending the Mergers, articulating any regulatory or competitive argument and/or responding to requests or objections made by any Governmental Entity, (v) provide each other with a reasonable advance opportunity to review and comment upon, and consider in good faith the views of the other with respect to, all written communications (including any analyses, presentations, memoranda, briefs, arguments and opinions) with a Governmental Entity regarding the Mergers, (vi) provide each other (or counsel of each party, as appropriate) with copies of all written communications and filings to or from any Governmental Entity relating to the Mergers, and (vii) cooperate and provide each other with a reasonable opportunity to participate in, and consider in good faith the views of the other with respect to, all substantive deliberations, meetings, conferences, communications and filings with respect to any Governmental Entity regarding the Mergers.

66

confidential business information, and materials may be redacted as necessary to comply with contractual arrangements, maintain legal privileges, or remove references concerning valuation. All filing fees in connection with filings required by Antitrust Laws shall be borne by Acquiror. The parties shall consult with each other to determine whether at any point in time it may be advisable to, with respect to the Mergers, commit to or agree with any Governmental Entity to (i) stay, toll or extend any applicable waiting period under Antitrust Laws, (ii) pull and refile under the HSR Act, (iii) not consummate Mergers or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement for any period of time or (iv) enter into any timing agreement; provided, however, that Acquiror shall have the authority (subject to Acquiror (x) considering in good faith the views of the Company and (y) Acquiror’s obligations contained in this Section 7.4) to make the final decision with respect to any such commitment or agreement, and the Company shall not make any such commitment or agreement without the express written consent of Acquiror.

(d) Acquiror agrees that, between the date of this Agreement and the expiration of the waiting period under the HSR Act, it shall not, and shall not permit any of its Affiliates to, take any action or omission, including but not limited to entering any Contracts for an acquisition (by stock purchase, merger, consolidation, amalgamation, purchase of assets, license or otherwise) of any ownership interest or assets of any Person, that would be reasonably likely to prevent or delay the consummation of the Mergers (except as set forth on Section 7.4(d) of the Acquiror Disclosure Schedule, provided that nothing identified on Section 7.4(d) of the Acquiror Disclosure Schedule shall require the filing of any Notification and Report Form under the HSR Act).

7.5 Employee Matters.

(a) Coordination of Special Payroll. Prior to the Closing, and subject to the reasonable prior review and approval of Acquiror, the Company shall take all actions reasonably necessary to provide for the payment of 50% of all Unpaid Employee Compensation Expenses through the Company’s normal payroll procedures, which payments shall be funded and made through a payroll distribution as soon as practicable following the Second Effective Time; provided, that annual bonuses for fiscal year 2021 shall be paid in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice.

(b) Resignation of Officers and Directors. Prior to the Closing, the Company shall have caused each director and officer of the Company to execute a resignation and release letter in a form acceptable to Acquiror (the “Director and Officer Resignation Letter”), effective as the First Effective Time.

(c) Offer Letters. During the Pre-Closing Period, Acquiror shall be permitted, in its sole discretion, to deliver an Offer Letter to each employee under the supervision of the Company after obtaining consent (not to be unreasonably withheld) from the Chief Operating Officer of the Company, provided, however, that Acquiror may not deliver any Offer Letter to any employee if (i) Acquiror will not deliver such Offer Letter to every other employee, (ii) such Offer Letter contains an annual base salary or wage rate and bonus opportunity that are less favorable than the annual base salary or wage rate and bonus opportunity provided to such employee immediately prior to the Closing or (iii) such Offer Letter changes the location of employment of such employee or adversely impacts the duties and responsibilities of such employee. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, neither Acquiror nor any of its Affiliates (including the Surviving Entity) shall be obligated to cause the continuation of any employment relationship with any employee for any specific period of time.

67

(d) Termination of Employee Plans. Prior to the Closing, the Company shall terminate any Company Employee Plan intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code, such termination to be contingent upon the Closing and effective as of no later than the day immediately preceding the Closing Date, unless Acquiror provides written notice to the Company that any such Company Employee Plan shall not be terminated. The Company shall provide Acquiror with evidence that all such Company Employee Plans have been terminated pursuant to resolutions of the board of directors (or similar body) of the Company or its ERISA Affiliates, as the case may be. The form and substance of such resolutions shall be subject to review and approval of Acquiror (acting reasonably). The Company also shall take such other actions in furtherance of terminating any such Company Employee Plan as Acquiror may reasonably require. In the event that termination of such a Company Employee Plan in connection with the Closing triggers liquidation charges, surrender charges or other fees, then all of such charges and/or fees shall be the responsibility of Acquiror. Acquiror shall permit each Continuing Employee participating in the Company’s 401(k) plan to effect, and Acquiror agrees to cause an appropriate 401(k) plan of Acquiror (the “Acquiror 401(k) Plan”) to accept, in accordance with applicable Law, a “direct rollover” (within the meaning of Section 401(a)(31) of the Code) of his or her account balance (including any promissory notes evidencing outstanding loans) under the Company’s 401(k) plan if such rollover to the applicable Acquiror 401(k) Plan is elected in accordance with applicable Law by such Continuing Employee.

(e) Assumption of Company Stock Plan. The Company shall take such actions as Acquiror may reasonably require to enable Acquiror to assume the Plan for making grants of equity-based awards to acquire shares of Acquiror Common Stock thereunder following the Closing Date in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(c).

(f) Compensation. For a period of at least one year following the First Effective Time, Acquiror shall cause to be provided to each Continuing Employee (A) base salary or wages, as applicable, and target bonus, in each case no less favorable than those provided to such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the First Effective Time and (B) benefits that, at Acquiror’s election, are either (i) comparable in the aggregate than those provided to such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the First Effective Time or (ii) comparable in the aggregate to those provided by Acquiror to similarly-situated service providers of Acquiror.

(g) Benefits. Acquiror shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each Continuing Employee to be credited with any service to the Company earned prior to the Closing for purposes of eligibility, vesting, determination of the level of benefits and vacation accrual under any benefit or compensation plan, program, agreement or arrangement in which a Continuing Employee participates that may be established or maintained for the Continuing Employees on or after the Closing (the “New Plans”); provided, however, that such service credit shall not be recognized to the extent that it relates to any defined benefit plan or equity-based compensation, or would result in a duplication of benefits for the same period of time. In addition, Acquiror shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause to be waived all pre-existing condition exclusions and actively-at-work requirements and similar limitations, eligibility waiting periods and evidence of insurability requirements under any New Plans to the extent waived or satisfied

68

by a Continuing Employee under any Plan as of the Closing and any deductible, co-insurance and covered out-of-pocket expenses paid on or before the Closing by any Continuing Employee (or covered dependent thereof) to be taken into account for purposes of satisfying the corresponding deductible, coinsurance and maximum out-of-pocket provisions after the Closing under any applicable New Plan in the same plan year in which the Closing occurs except as would result in the duplication of any benefits.

(h) No Employment Commitment or Plan Amendments. Unless expressly stated in this Agreement, no provision of this Agreement is intended, or shall be interpreted, to provide or create any third party beneficiary rights or any other rights of any kind or nature whatsoever in any Securityholder, Key Employee or other Employee, consultant, contractor or any other Person, including any rights of employment for any specified period and/or any employee benefits, in favor of any Person, union, association, Key Employee, other Employee, consultant or contractor or any other Person, other than Acquiror or Merger Subs, the Company, and the Securityholder Representative and their respective successors and permitted assigns, and all provisions of this Agreement will be personal solely among such parties. In addition, no provision of this Agreement is intended, or shall be interpreted, to establish, amend or modify any term or condition of any employee related plan, program or policy of the Company.

(i) Employee Communications. During the Pre-Closing Period, the Company shall consult with Acquiror before issuing or sending, and provide Acquiror the opportunity to review and comment upon, any broadly distributed communications (including electronic communications) or statements to employees regarding the terms of employment with or service to Acquiror or any of its Affiliates, or with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

7.6 Tax Matters.

(a) Tax Returns Filed On or Prior to Closing. The Company shall prepare, or shall cause to be prepared, all Tax Returns of the Company required to be filed under Law on or prior to the Closing Date and shall be responsible for the timely filing (taking into account any extensions received from the relevant Tax authorities) of such Tax Returns. The Tax Returns described in this Section 7.6(a) shall be prepared on a basis consistent with those prepared for prior taxable periods unless otherwise required by Law. The Company shall provide Acquiror with a copy of each such Tax Return for its review and comment no less than 20 days prior to the due date (taking into account valid extensions thereto) in the case of such income Tax Return (and a reasonable period prior to the due date (taking into account valid extensions thereto) in the case of any other such material Tax Return), and shall revise such Tax Returns to reflect Acquiror’s reasonable comments. All Taxes (whether or not shown on such Tax Returns) shall be paid by the Company when due.

(b) Tax Assistance. The Securityholder Representative agrees to furnish or cause to be furnished to Acquiror and its subsidiaries (including the First Step Surviving Corporation and the Surviving Entity), and Acquiror agrees to furnish or cause to be furnished, and to cause its subsidiaries (including the First Step Surviving Corporation and the Surviving Entity) to furnish to Securityholder Representative at any time after the Closing Date, upon request, as promptly as practicable, such information (including access to books and records) in

69

its possession and assistance relating to the Company, as is reasonably requested for the filing of any Tax Returns, for the preparation of any audit and for the prosecution or defense of any pending or threatened audit or assessment, suit, proposed adjustment, deficiency, dispute, administrative or judicial proceeding or other similar claim. Each of Acquiror, Acquiror’s subsidiaries, the Company, and the Securityholder Representative shall retain all books and records in their possession with respect to Taxes for a period of at least seven (7) years following the Closing Date.

(c) Transfer Taxes. All Transfer Taxes, if any, imposed on the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be borne 50% by the Securityholders and 50% by Acquiror. Any Tax Returns with respect thereto shall be prepared and filed by the party required by Law to file such Tax Returns and the non-filing party shall promptly remit its share of any Transfer Taxes to the filing party upon written notice to the extent not included in Unpaid Pre-Closing Taxes in case Acquiror is the filing party. The parties shall cooperate in good faith and use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize any Transfer Taxes. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the Securityholder Representative be deemed the filing party for the aforementioned Transfer Tax Tax Returns.

(d) Post-Closing Tax Actions. Until the Closing Statement is finalized pursuant to the procedures set forth in Sections 2.6(b), (c) and (d) (the “Adjustment End Date”), except as required by applicable Law, provided that, prior to taking any such action, Acquiror shall consult in good in faith with the Securityholder Representative with respect to whether or not any such action is required by applicable Law, none of Acquiror, the First Step Surviving Corporation or the Surviving Entity, or any of their Affiliates shall (a) amend any Tax Return of the Company relating to any Pre-Closing Tax Period, (ii) make or change any Tax election (including an election under Section 336 or 338 of the Code) or change any method of accounting that has effect to any Tax Return of the Company relating to any Pre-Closing Tax Period, (iii) initiate or file any voluntary disclosure or similar agreements with any Governmental Entity regarding Pre-Closing Taxes or Tax Returns of the Company relating to any Pre-Closing Tax Period or (iv) agree to extend or waive the statute of limitations with respect to Taxes of the Company for a Pre-Closing Tax Period (unless requested by a Tax authority in connection with an audit), in each such case, except (A) with the prior written consent of Securityholder Representative (which will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned), or (B) if such action would not increase the liability of the Securityholders for Unpaid Pre-Closing Taxes.

(e) Tax Treatment. For all applicable Tax purposes, the parties agree that the entirety of the Merger Consideration paid or treated as paid to Stockholders for their Company Common Stock (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Milestone Payment), will be treated as consideration for the Company Capital Stock (excluding any imputed interest), and none of the Merger Consideration will be allocated to the Restrictive Covenant Agreements or otherwise treated as compensation for services for income or employment Tax purposes, and no party will take any action or filing position inconsistent with the foregoing, unless otherwise required by a contrary determination by an applicable Tax authority after an audit or examination in which the agreed upon treatment in this Section 7.6(e) was defended diligently and in good faith.

70

(f) Tax Refunds. Until the Adjustment End Date, the Securityholders will be entitled to all Tax refunds, Tax credits or Tax overpayments of the Company for Pre-Closing Tax Periods, net of any reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred in obtaining such refund, credit or overpayment of Taxes, and any Taxes borne by Acquiror, the Surviving Entity, or any of their Affiliates as a result of their receipt of such refund, credit or overpayment of Tax. Any refund, credit or overpayment of Tax related to a Straddle Period will be prorated based upon the method set forth in the last sentence of the definition of Pre-Closing Taxes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Securityholders will not be entitled to any payment or other benefit in the event any of the Surviving Entity, Acquiror or their Affiliates receives any refund of Taxes that is attributable to carrying back to a Pre-Closing Tax Period a net operating loss or tax credit that arose in a taxable period (or portion thereof) beginning after the Closing Date. If Acquiror, the Surviving Entity or any of their Affiliates receives any Tax refund or Tax credit or benefits from a Tax overpayment to which the Securityholders are entitled pursuant to this Section 7.6(f) (each a “Pre-Closing Tax Refund”), Acquiror or the Surviving Entity will promptly pay (or cause their respective Affiliates to pay) the amount of such Pre-Closing Tax Refund (including interest to the extent paid or credited by a Governmental Entity with respect to such refund) to the Exchange Agent for distribution to the Securityholders. Acquiror will, and will cause the Surviving Entity (and any applicable subsidiary) to, use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any Pre-Closing Tax Refund set forth on Schedule 7.6(f), and Acquiror and the Surviving Entity shall have no obligation to pursue any other Pre-Closing Tax Refund. For purposes of this Section 7.6(f), any deferred Taxes described in clause (iii) of Pre-Closing Taxes that are included in Unpaid Pre-Closing Taxes but are determined pursuant to applicable Law not to be required to be paid or are subsequently refunded, in each case, prior to or on the Adjustment End Date will be treated as a Pre-Closing Tax Refund.

7.7 Payoff Letters and Release of Liens.

(a) Payoff Letters. No later than five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall obtain from each holder of Indebtedness of the Company, and deliver to Acquiror, an executed payoff letter, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Acquiror (acting reasonably), setting forth (i) the amounts required to pay off in full on the Closing Date, the Indebtedness owing to such holder of Indebtedness (including the outstanding principal, accrued and unpaid interest and prepayment and other penalties) and wire transfer information for such payment, (ii) upon payment of such amounts, a release of the Company, (iii) upon payment of such amounts, a release of all Liens, if any, that the holder may hold on any of the assets of the Company and an agreement that the Company or its Representatives may file UCC-3 termination statements and such other documents necessary or desirable to evidence the release of any and all such Liens, and attaching duly completed and executed copies of any necessary Tax forms, including IRS Form W-9 or the appropriate series of IRS Form W-8, as applicable (each, a “Payoff Letter”).

(b) Release of Liens. At or prior to the Closing, the Company shall prepare or cause to be prepared all agreements, instruments, certificates and other documents, in form and substance satisfactory to Acquiror (acting reasonably), that are necessary or appropriate to effect the release of all Liens set forth in Schedule 7.7(b) and cause such documents to be filed promptly after Closing.

71

7.8 Third Party Expenses. 

(a) Whether or not the Mergers are consummated, each party shall be responsible for its own expenses and costs that it incurs (and whether paid prior to, at or after the First Effective Time or the Second Effective Time) with respect to the negotiation, execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, other than the Securityholder Representative to the extent the Securityholders are responsible for such amounts pursuant to this Agreement or any Securityholder Representative Engagement Agreement. Without limiting or expanding the foregoing, the Securityholders shall be responsible for all Third Party Expenses, which will be payable pursuant to a dollar-for-dollar adjustment to the Estimated Cash Consideration otherwise payable hereunder. For purposes of this Agreement, “Third Party Expenses” means all fees and expenses (1) incurred by or on behalf of or otherwise required to be paid by (including, as applicable, expenses of stockholders of the Company or other parties to whom the Company has a reimbursement or similar obligation) the Company (or any of its successors), and (2) not paid as of immediately prior to or at the First Effective Time, in each case in connection with this Agreement, the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated hereby, including: (i) all legal, accounting (including the Incurred Audit Costs), financial advisory, investment banking, consulting, finders’ and all other fees and expenses of third parties incurred by or on behalf of or otherwise required to be paid by the Company in connection with the negotiation and effectuation of the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby; (ii) any bonus, severance, change-in-control payments, accelerated commissions, or similar payment obligations (including payments with “single-trigger” provisions) of the Company to Employees resulting from, or in connection with, the transactions contemplated hereby; (iii) any payments or Liabilities to third-parties arising under a Contract entered into by the Company at or prior to the Closing for any reason as a result of or in connection with the Mergers or any of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including any payment or consideration arising under or in relation to any consent, waiver or approval of any party under any Contract as may be required for any such Contract to remain in full force and effect following the Closing; and (iv) the costs and expenses of the Company D&O Tail Policy to the extent not paid by the Company prior to the Closing Date; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, Third Party Expenses (A) shall not include any bonus, severance, change-in-control payments, commissions or other similar amounts that become due and payable after the Closing (including pursuant to any “double-trigger” provisions) that the Company is obligated to pay as a result of the change of control of the Company at Closing, (B) shall exclude Closing Indebtedness and Closing Net Working Capital and (C) shall not include any fees or expenses to the extent paid by the Company prior to the Closing. For the avoidance of doubt, no fees and expenses shall be double counted when calculating Third Party Expenses and no fees and expenses shall be counted as Third Party Expenses to the extent otherwise taken into account in Closing Net Working Capital or Indebtedness.

(b) At least two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing, the Company shall obtain from each advisor, counsel, accountant, or other professional service provider owed Third Party Expenses, and deliver to Acquiror, a final invoice or other final statement indicating that such amounts reflected thereon are all amounts owed to such Person in respect of Third Party Expenses, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Acquiror, setting the amounts required to pay off in full on the Closing Date the Third Party Expenses owing to such Person and wire transfer information for such payment, and attaching duly completed and executed copies of any necessary Tax forms, including IRS Form W-9 or the appropriate series of IRS Form W-8, as applicable (each a “Final Invoice”). The Company shall take all necessary actions to ensure that Third Party Expenses shall not be incurred by the First Step Surviving Corporation or the Surviving Entity after the Closing Date without the express prior written consent of Acquiror.

Subject to applicable Law, during the Pre-Closing Period, the Company shall afford Acquiror and its Representatives reasonable access to, upon reasonable notice during business hours, (i) all of the assets, properties, Books and Records and Contracts of the Company, (ii) all other information concerning the business, assets, properties and personnel (subject to restrictions imposed by Law) of the Company as Acquiror may reasonably request, and (iii) all Employees, customers, and suppliers of the Company as identified by Acquiror; provided that any such access or furnishing of information shall be conducted at Acquiror’s expense, under the supervision of personnel of the Company in compliance with and subject to the Company’s health, safety and security requirements, recommendations or policies (including relating to the COVID-19 Measures). The Company agrees to provide to Acquiror and its accountants, counsel and other Representatives copies of its internal financial statements (including Tax Returns and supporting documentation) promptly upon request (subject to their entry into customary access letters if requested by auditors). No information or knowledge obtained in any investigation conducted pursuant to this Section 7.10 or otherwise shall affect or be deemed to qualify, limit, waive, modify, amend or supplement any representation or warranty contained herein or in the Disclosure Schedule, the conditions to the obligations of the parties to consummate the Mergers in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement, or the rights of Acquiror under or arising out of a breach of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any investigation pursuant to this Section 7.10 shall be conducted in such manner as not to interfere unreasonably with the conduct of the business of the Company and the Company shall not have any obligation to provide any access or information if providing such access or information would cause the Company to waive any attorney-client privilege or other legal privilege or breach any confidentiality agreement with a third party entered into prior to the Agreement Date. All information exchanged pursuant to this Section 7.10 shall be subject to the provisions of the Non-Disclosure Agreement.

7.11 Notification of Certain Matters. During the Pre-Closing Period, the Company shall give prompt notice to Acquiror of: (a) the occurrence or non-occurrence of any event, the occurrence or non-occurrence of which results in the failure of any representation or warranty of the Company contained in this Agreement to be true or accurate in any material respect at or prior to the First Effective Time such that the condition in Section 2.2(b)(i) cannot be satisfied; provided, however, that the failure of the Company to give such notice shall not be deemed to be a breach of a covenant hereunder but instead shall only constitute a breach of the underlying representation or warranty that was the subject of such failure to give such notice, and (b) any failure of the Company to comply with or satisfy in any material respect any covenant or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it hereunder such that the condition in Section 2.2(b)(ii) cannot be satisfied; provided, however, that the delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 7.11 shall not (i) limit or otherwise affect any remedies available to the party receiving such notice or (ii) constitute an acknowledgment or admission of a breach of this Agreement. No disclosure by or on behalf of the Company pursuant to this Section 7.11 or otherwise of any breach, inaccuracy, failure to be true, or failure to comply (or any waiver thereof) shall affect or be deemed to qualify, limit, waive, modify, amend or supplement any representation, warranty, or covenant contained herein or in the Disclosure Schedule, the conditions to the obligations of the parties to consummate the Mergers in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement, or the rights of Acquiror under this Agreement, except to the extent set forth in the Disclosure Schedule or expressly waived pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

73

7.12 Director and Officer Insurance and Indemnity.

(a) Prior to the Closing, the Company shall obtain at its expense a fully prepaid “tail” directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy that (i) has an effective term of six (6) years from the First Effective Time, and (ii) contains coverage terms comparable to or better than those applicable to the current directors and officers of the Company (the “Company D&O Tail Policy”). The First Step Surviving Corporation (following the First Effective Time), the Surviving Entity (following the Second Effective Time) and Acquiror shall not cancel (or permit to be cancelled) the Company D&O Tail Policy during its term.

(b) Subject to Section 9.2, if the First Merger is consummated, until the sixth (6^th) anniversary of the Closing Date, the First Step Surviving Corporation and the Surviving Entity shall fulfill and honor in all respects (i) the obligations of the Company to its directors and officers as of immediately prior to the First Effective Time (the “Company Indemnified Parties”) pursuant to any indemnification agreements between the Company and such Company Indemnified Parties existing as of the Agreement Date that are Made Available and set forth in the Disclosure Schedule with respect to claims arising out of matters occurring at or prior to the First Effective Time, (ii) the certificates of incorporation and bylaws (and other similar organizational documents) of the First Step Surviving Corporation to contain provisions with respect to indemnification, exculpation and the advancement of expenses that are at least as favorable as the indemnification, exculpation and advancement of expenses provisions contained in the Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Restated Bylaws, and (iii) the limited liability company agreement (and other similar organizational documents) of the Surviving Entity to contain provisions with respect to indemnification, exculpation and the advancement of expenses that are at least as favorable as the indemnification, exculpation and advancement of expenses provisions contained in the Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement, and during such six-year period, such provisions shall not be repealed, amended or otherwise modified in any manner except as otherwise contemplated by this Agreement or required by applicable Law. Any claims for indemnification made under such indemnification agreements or the certificate of incorporation or bylaws of the First Step Surviving Corporation or the limited liability company agreement of the Surviving Entity on or prior to the sixth (6^th) anniversary of the First Effective Time shall survive such anniversary until the final resolution thereof.

(c) For the avoidance of doubt, and notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Acquiror shall be under no obligation to maintain the existence of the First Step Surviving Corporation or the Surviving Entity for any specified period following the First Effective Time or the Second Effective Time; provided that, if the Surviving Entity or any of its successors or assigns shall consolidate with or merge into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger then, and in each such case, proper provisions shall be made so that the successors and assigns of the Surviving Entity shall assume all of the obligations of the Surviving Entity set forth in this Section 7.12.

74

7.13 Required Company Financials. During the Pre-Closing Period, the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to prepare, and to cause KPMG LLP (the “Audit Firm”) to complete an audit of, the Company’s annual financial statements as of December 31, 2020 and the balance sheet as of Company Balance Sheet Date and the related statements of operations, cash flows, and stockholders’ equity for the applicable stub period (the “Audit,” and such financial statements, the “Required Company Financials”), as promptly as reasonably practicable. The Required Company Financials shall be prepared by the Company and audited by the Audit Firm in accordance with Regulation S-X promulgated by the SEC. The Company will provide such cooperation as is reasonably requested by the Audit Firm in connection with the Audit, including by providing access to appropriate books, records, and personnel, and shall keep Acquiror reasonably apprised as to the progress of the Audit. Half of the total costs incurred by the Company in connection with the preparation of the Required Company Financials and the Audit, including the reasonable and documented fees and expenses of the Audit Firm and any other financial, tax, accounting, legal or other advisors shall be deemed to be Third Party Expenses (such costs, the “Incurred Audit Costs”) and the remaining half of such total costs shall be the responsibility of Acquiror. To the extent that the Company pays more than 50% of such incurred audit costs prior to Closing, the Company shall be deemed to have additional Closing Cash, the amount of which shall equal to Acquiror’s share of such prior payments.

7.14 Representations and Warranties Insurance. Acquiror shall cause to be bound and in full force and effect as of the date of this Agreement a buyer-side representations and warranties insurance policy from one or more insurance companies to protect Acquiror and Merger Subs from any and all liabilities, losses, damages, claims, costs, expenses (including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees), interest, awards, judgments, penalties and amounts paid in settlement incurred as a result of the breach of any of the representations and warranties of the Company (the “R&W Insurance Policy”) in this Agreement. Acquiror shall pay and be responsible for any and all premium, underwriting fees, brokerage fees, legal fees for counsel engaged by the insurer of the R&W Insurance Policy, surplus lines tax, and any other costs and expenses associated with obtaining the R&W Insurance Policy and binding coverage thereunder. Once bound, Acquiror shall not amend or waive any terms and conditions set forth in the R&W Insurance Policy in a manner that would materially adversely affect the Securityholders without the prior written consent of, prior to the Closing, the Company, and after the Closing, the Securityholder Representative. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the respective obligations of Acquiror, Merger Sub I and the Company to effect the First Merger shall not be subject to the satisfaction of the binding of a R&W Insurance Policy.

7.15 Registration of Acquiror Common Stock.

(a) As soon as practicable after the date hereof, Acquiror shall prepare, and, on the Closing Date, Acquiror shall file with the SEC, and cause to be declared automatically and immediately effective at the time of such filing, one or more registration statements in compliance with the Securities Act (each, a “Registration Statement”) covering the resale of all shares of Acquiror Common Stock that are to be issued in connection with the payment of the Stock Consideration (such shares, together with the shares of Acquiror Common Stock otherwise issuable hereunder whether at Closing or as part of the Milestone Payment, the “Registrable Stock”). Each Registration Statement shall be (x) on Form S-3 (except if Acquiror fails to meet one or more of the registrant requirements specified in General Instruction I.A. on Form S-3, such registration shall be on another appropriate form in accordance herewith that allows for the Registrable Stock covered thereby to be registered on a delayed and continuous basis) or (y) pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, a prospectus supplement that shall be deemed to be part of an existing “shelf” registration statement in accordance with Rule 430B under the Securities Act and shall permit a delayed or continuous offering. Acquiror shall cause all Registrable Stock to be listed on Nasdaq and to comply with the listing requirements of Nasdaq.

75

(b) Acquiror shall use its reasonable best efforts (i) to maintain the continuous effectiveness of each Registration Statement (and maintain the current status of the prospectus or prospectuses contained therein) until the earlier of (A) all such shares of Registrable Stock having been sold pursuant to such Registration Statement or (B) at such time as none of the holders of Registrable Stock issued thereunder are restricted from transferring such Registrable Stock under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, and (ii) subject to Section 7.15(d), to take such other actions as are necessary to permit the Persons who are issued Registrable Stock pursuant to this Agreement to sell such Registrable Stock without restriction as promptly as practicable pursuant to such Registration Statements. In the case of any Registration Statement that is an automatic shelf registration statement, a new registration statement pursuant to Rule 415(a)(6) with respect to the Registrable Stock will be deemed to be an amendment to such Registration Statement for purposes of this Section 7.15, and references in this Section 7.15 to a Registration Statement, except in clause (ii) above, shall include such new registration statement.

(c) At least three (3) Business Days prior to the filing of the Registration Statement or any prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto, Acquiror shall furnish to the Company copies of reasonably complete drafts of all such documents proposed to be filed (including all exhibits thereto and each document incorporated by reference therein to the extent then required by the rules and regulations of the SEC), which documents will be subject to the review and comment of the Company (it being acknowledged and agreed that if the Company does not object to or comment on the aforementioned documents within the aforementioned three Business Day period, then they shall be deemed to have consented to and approved the use of such documents), and Acquiror shall consider in good faith the changes reasonably requested by the Company prior to making any such filing.

(d) With respect to any Registration Statement that has been filed pursuant to Section 7.15(a), (i) upon the issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose; (ii) if any Registration Statement or related prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference shall contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading (including, in any such case, as a result of the non-availability of financial statements); or (iii) if, in the good faith judgment of Acquiror following consultation with legal counsel, it would be detrimental to Acquiror or its stockholders for resales of Registrable Stock to be made pursuant to the Registration Statement due to (A) the existence of a material development or potential material development involving Acquiror that Acquiror would be obligated to disclose or incorporate by reference in the Registration Statement, which disclosure would be premature or otherwise inadvisable at such time, or (B) interference with an actual or potential material financing or business combination transaction involving Acquiror, (I)(1) in the case of clause (ii) above, but subject to clause (iii) above, Acquiror shall as promptly as reasonably practicable prepare and file a post-effective amendment to such Registration Statement or a supplement to the related prospectus so that such Registration Statement or prospectus does not contain any untrue

76

statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and in the case of a post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement, use reasonable best efforts to cause it to become effective as promptly as reasonably practicable and (2) in the case of clause (i) above, use reasonable best efforts to cause such stop order to be lifted, and (II) Acquiror shall give notice to the Securityholders that the availability of such Registration Statement is suspended and, upon receipt of any such notice, each Securityholder agrees that it shall not sell any of the registered securities pursuant to a Registration Statement until such Securityholder or the Securityholder Representative is notified by Acquiror of the effectiveness of the post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement provided for in clause (I) above, or until it is notified in writing by Acquiror that the Registration Statement may be used. In connection with any circumstance covered by clause (iii) above, Acquiror shall be entitled to exercise its rights pursuant to this Section 7.15(d) to suspend the availability of the Registration Statement for no more than twenty-five (25) consecutive days and an aggregate of sixty (60) days in any 365-day period. Acquiror shall promptly notify the Securityholder Representative upon the receipt of any comment letter or request by the SEC, state securities authority or other Governmental Entity for amendments or supplements to any Registration Statement or the prospectus related thereto or for additional information.

(e) All fees and expenses incurred by Acquiror in connection with its performance of its obligations under or in compliance with this Section 7.15 shall be borne by Acquiror. Each Securityholder shall pay any expenses incurred by it in connection with the performance of its obligations under or in compliance with this Section 7.15.

(f) Acquiror shall indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws, the Securityholders and their Representatives, from and against any Damages to which any Securityholder or any of its Representative may become subject (under the Securities Act or otherwise) to the extent such Damages arise out of, directly or indirectly, any untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or any other document filed in accordance with this Section 7.15, or any omission to state therein a fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; provided, however, that Acquiror will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such Damages out of, directly or indirectly, any untrue statement or omission, made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to Acquiror by or on behalf of the Company, prior to the Closing, the Securityholder Representative or such Securityholder specifically for use in the preparation of the Registration Statement or any other registration statement filed in accordance with this Section 7.15. The Securityholders, on a several basis, shall indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws, Acquiror and its Representatives to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from Acquiror, but only with reference to information furnished in writing to Acquiror, the Company or the Securityholder Representative specifically for use in the preparation of the Registration Statement or any other registration statement filed in accordance with this Section 7.15.

77

(g) Each Securityholder (i) shall furnish to Acquiror such information regarding themselves, their relationship to Acquiror and its Affiliates, their beneficial ownership of Acquiror Common Stock, the Registrable Stock held by them, and the intended method of disposition of such securities as is required to be included under the Securities Act in a Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or any prospectus with respect to such Securityholder, (ii) shall comply with the prospectus delivery requirements under the Securities Act in connection with the sale or other distribution of Registrable Stock pursuant to a Registration Statement, and (iii) shall report to Acquiror all sales or other distributions by such Securityholder of Registrable Stock pursuant to a Registration Statement. It shall be a condition precedent to the obligation of Acquiror to complete the registration pursuant to this Agreement with respect to the Registrable Securities of any Securityholder that such Securityholder shall have complied with the obligations set forth in Section 7.15(g)(i) above. No Securityholder shall use any free writing prospectus (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) in connection with the sale of Registrable Stock without the prior written consent of Acquiror.

ARTICLE VIII

(c) by Acquiror or the Company if the Closing Date shall not have occurred by December 16, 2021 (the “End Date”); provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 8.1(c) shall not be available to any party whose action or failure to act has been a principal cause of or resulted in the failure of the Closing to occur on or before such date and such action or failure to act constitutes material breach of this Agreement;

(d) by either Acquiror or the Company if any Law or final and non-appealable Order shall be in effect which has the effect of making the Mergers permanently illegal or otherwise permanently prohibits or prevents consummation of the Mergers;

(e) by Acquiror if it is not in material breach of its obligations under this Agreement and there has been a breach of or inaccuracy in any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of the Company contained in this Agreement such that the conditions set forth in Sections 2.2(b)(i) and 2.2(b)(ii) would not be satisfied as of the time of such breach or inaccuracy and such breach or inaccuracy has not been cured within twenty (20) calendar days after written notice thereof to the Company; provided, however, that no cure period shall be required (i) for a breach or inaccuracy that by its nature cannot be cured or (ii) if any of the conditions to Closing in Sections 2.2(b)(i) and 2.2(b)(ii) for the benefit of Acquiror are incapable of being satisfied on or before the End Date; or

(f) by the Company if it is not in material breach of its obligations under this Agreement and there has been a breach of or inaccuracy in any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of Acquiror contained in this Agreement such that the conditions set forth in Sections 2.2(d)(i) and 2.2(d)(ii) would not be satisfied as of the time of such breach or inaccuracy and such breach or inaccuracy has not been cured within twenty (20) calendar days after written notice thereof to Acquiror; provided, however, that no cure period shall be required (i) for a breach or inaccuracy that by its nature cannot be cured or (ii) if any of the conditions to Closing in Sections 2.2(d)(i) and 2.2(d)(ii) for the benefit of the Company are incapable of being satisfied on or before the End Date.

In the event of termination of this Agreement as provided in Section 8.1, this Agreement shall become void and there shall be no liability or obligation on the part of Acquiror, Merger Subs, or the Company, or their respective Representatives, if applicable; provided, however, that each party hereto shall remain liable for any Fraud committed in this Agreement, any of the Related Agreements, or in any certificate or other instruments delivered pursuant to this Agreement prior to its termination; and provided further, however, that, the provisions of Sections 7.8 (Third Party Expenses), 10.1(b) (Exculpation and Indemnification of Securityholder Representative), Article XI (General Provisions) and this Section 8.2 (in each case including the respective meanings ascribed to the capitalized terms used in such Sections as defined in this Agreement) shall remain in full force and effect and survive any termination of this Agreement pursuant to the terms of this Article VIII.

ARTICLE IX

SURVIVAL; NO INDEMNIFICATION

9.1 Survival. The representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement and the covenants of the parties contained in this Agreement and the Related Agreements to be performed in full prior to the Closing shall all terminate and be of no further force and effect as of the Closing, such that no further claims can be made after such time. For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, it is the intent of the parties to this Agreement that the termination date set forth in this Section 9.1 supersede any applicable statutes of limitations that would otherwise apply to such representations and warranties. The covenants of the parties contained in this Agreement and the Related Agreements to be performed in whole or in part after the Closing shall survive the Closing in accordance with their respective terms. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any applicable statute of limitations, any claim based on Fraud shall survive the Closing.

9.2 Exclusive Remedy. Following the First Effective Time, subject to Section 11.9(c), the sole and exclusive remedy for any claims arising out of, for or relating to any inaccuracy or breach of any representation or warranty of the Company in this Agreement or any of the certificates delivered in connection herewith, other than specific performance, will be to recover from the R&W Insurance Policy, and neither Acquiror nor its Affiliates (including the First Step Surviving Corporation and the Surviving Entity) and its and their respective Representatives (collectively, the “Specified Parties”) will be entitled to any remedy from the Company, the Securityholders, the Securityholder Representative or any other Person arising out of, for or relating to any inaccuracy or breach of any representation or warranty of Company or its Affiliates, the Securityholders or the Securityholder Representative in this Agreement or any Related Agreement except for any claim based on Fraud against the Person who committed Fraud. The sole and exclusive remedy for any claims of a Specified Party arising out of, for or relating to any dispute over the calculation of or adjustment to the Merger Consideration after Closing will be to recover from the Adjustment Fund, and none of the Specified Parties will be entitled to any other remedy from the Company, the Securityholders, the Securityholder Representative or any other Person arising out of, for or relating to any dispute over the calculation of or adjustment to the Merger Consideration.

ARTICLE X

SECURITYHOLDER REPRESENTATIVE

10.1 Appointment and Authority of Securityholder Representative.

(a) By virtue of the adoption of this Agreement and the approval of the First Merger by the Stockholders, each of the Securityholders shall be deemed to have agreed to appoint, and hereby does appoint, the Securityholder Representative to act as its, his or her lawful and exclusive representative, agent, proxy, and attorney-in-fact (with full power of substitution) for all purposes in connection with this Agreement or any Related Agreement, including to: (i) to give and receive notices and communications in respect of all Relevant Matters; (ii) to authorize or object to any claims hereunder; (iii) to agree to, negotiate, enter into settlements and compromises of, and demand arbitration and comply with orders of courts and awards of arbitrators with respect to any Relevant Matter; (iv) grant any extension or waiver under or in connection with this Agreement; and (v) and to take all other actions that are either (A) necessary or appropriate in the judgment of the Securityholder Representative for the accomplishment of the foregoing or in connection with this Agreement or any Securityholder Representative Engagement Agreement with the Securityholder Representative, or (B) specifically mandated, permitted, or contemplated by the terms of this Agreement, in each case of clauses (i) through (iii), without having to seek or obtain the consent of any Person under any circumstance. The powers, immunities and rights to indemnification granted to the Securityholder Representative hereunder are coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable and survive the death, incompetence, bankruptcy or liquidation of any Securityholder and shall be binding on any successor thereto. The Person serving as the Securityholder Representative may be replaced from time to time by the holders of a majority in interest of the Merger Consideration payable to the Securityholders. The Securityholder Representative may resign at any time in accordance with the terms of the Securityholder Representative Engagement Agreement.

(b) Certain Securityholders have entered, or will enter, into an engagement agreement (the “Securityholder Representative Engagement Agreement”) with the Securityholder Representative to provide direction to the Securityholder Representative in connection with its services under this Agreement and the Securityholder Representative Engagement Agreement (such Securityholders, including their individual representatives, collectively hereinafter referred to as the “Advisory Group”). The Securityholders agree that neither the Securityholder Representative nor its members, managers, directors, officers, contractors, agents and employees nor any member of the Advisory Group (in its capacity as a member of the Advisory Group) (collectively, the “Securityholder Representative Group”) shall incur any liability of any kind with respect to any action or omission by the Securityholder Representative in connection with the Securityholder Representative’s services pursuant to this Agreement and any agreements ancillary hereto, except in the event of liability directly resulting from the Securityholder Representative’s fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Securityholder Representative shall not be liable for any action or omission pursuant to the advice of counsel. The Securityholders shall, severally based on their Milestone Pro Rata Portions, indemnify and defend the Securityholder

80

Representative and hold the Securityholder Representative harmless from and against any and all losses, liabilities, damages, claims, penalties, fines, forfeitures, actions, fees, costs and expenses (including the fees and expenses of counsel and experts and their staffs and all expense of document location, duplication and shipment and costs incurred in connection with seeking recovery from insurers) (collectively, “Securityholder Representative Expenses”) arising out of or in connection with the Securityholder Representative’s execution and performance of this Agreement and any agreements ancillary hereto, in each case as such Securityholder Representative Expense is suffered or incurred; provided that in the event that any such Securityholder Representative Expense is finally adjudicated to have been directly caused by the fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Securityholder Representative, the Securityholder Representative will reimburse the Securityholders the amount of such indemnified Securityholder Representative Expense to the extent attributable to such fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct. If not paid directly to the Securityholder Representative Group by the Securityholders based on their Milestone Pro Rata Portion, any such Securityholder Representative Expenses may be recovered by the Securityholder Representative from (i) the funds in the Expense Fund and (ii) any other funds that become payable to the Securityholders under this Agreement at such time as such amounts would otherwise be distributable to the Securityholders; provided, that while this section allows the Securityholder Representative Group to be paid from the aforementioned sources of funds, this does not relieve the Securityholders from their obligation to promptly pay such Securityholder Representative Expenses as they are suffered or incurred, nor does it prevent the Securityholder Representative Group from seeking any remedies available to it at law or otherwise. In no event will the Securityholder Representative be required to advance its own funds on behalf of the Securityholders or otherwise. Furthermore, the Securityholders agree that the Securityholder Representative shall not be required to take any action unless the Securityholder Representative has been provided with funds, security or indemnities which, in its determination, are sufficient to protect the Securityholder Representative against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred by the Securityholder Representative in performing such actions. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any restrictions or limitations on liability or indemnification obligations of, or provisions limiting the recourse against non-parties otherwise applicable to, the Securityholders set forth elsewhere in this Agreement are not intended to be applicable to the indemnities provided to the Securityholder Representative under this section. The foregoing indemnities will survive the Closing, the resignation or removal of the Securityholder Representative or any member of the Advisory Group and the Closing or the termination of this Agreement.

(c) A decision, act, consent or instruction of the Securityholder Representative, including an amendment, extension or waiver of this Agreement pursuant to Section 11.5 or Section 11.6, shall constitute a decision of the Securityholders and shall be final, conclusive and binding upon the Securityholders and each such Securityholder’s successors as if expressly confirmed and ratified in writing by such Securityholder, and all defenses which may be available to any Securityholder to contest, negate or disaffirm the action of the Securityholder Representative taken in good faith under this Agreement or the Securityholder Representative Engagement Agreement are waived. Acquiror may rely upon any such decision, act, consent or instruction of the Securityholder Representative as being the decision, act, consent or instruction of the Securityholders. Acquiror and its Affiliates are relieved from any liability to any Person for any acts done by them in accordance with such decision, act, consent or instruction of the Securityholder Representative. The Securityholders agree that the Securityholder Representative shall be entitled to: (i) rely upon the Payment Spreadsheet; (ii) rely upon any signature believed by it to be genuine; and (iii) reasonably assume that a signatory has proper authorization to sign on behalf of the applicable Securityholder or other party.

anything herein to the contrary, following Closing and after the public announcement of the Mergers, the Securityholder Representative shall be permitted to announce that it has been engaged to serve as the Securityholder Representative in connection herewith as long as such announcement does not disclose any of the other terms hereof.

In the event that any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof, becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement will continue in full force and effect and the application of such provision to other persons or circumstances will be interpreted so as reasonably to effect the intent of the parties hereto. The parties further agree to replace such void or unenforceable provision of this Agreement with a valid and enforceable provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such void or unenforceable provision.

11.11 Exclusive Jurisdiction. Each of the parties hereto irrevocably consents to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware in connection with any Relevant Matter (or, only if the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any federal court within the State of Delaware).

The parties hereto and the Securityholders hereby waive any right to stay or dismiss any action or proceeding in connection with any Relevant Matter brought before the foregoing courts on the basis of (i) any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the above-named courts for any reason or that it or any of its property is immune from the above-described legal process, (ii) that such action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum, that venue for the action or proceeding is improper or that this Agreement may not be enforced in or by such courts, or (iii) any other defense that would hinder or delay the levy, execution or collection of any amount to which any party hereto is entitled pursuant to any final judgment of any court having jurisdiction.

11.12 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY AND ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER RELEVANT MATTER.

11.13 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, Annex A hereto, the Exhibits and Schedules hereto, the Disclosure Schedule, the Related Agreements, and the documents and instruments and other agreements among the parties hereto referenced herein constitute the entire agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and supersede all prior agreements and understandings both written and oral, among the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, and are not intended to confer upon any other person any rights or remedies hereunder; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Section 7.12 is intended to benefit the Company Indemnified Parties, each of whom is an express third party beneficiary thereof.

11.14 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered to the other party, it being understood that all parties need not sign the same counterpart.
