SUPPORT AGREEMENT

THIS SUPPORT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of February 16, 2024, by and among Fathom Digital Manufacturing Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), Fathom Digital Manufacturing Intermediate, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Parent”) and the undersigned stockholders of the Company (collectively, the “Supporting Holders,” and each, a “Supporting Holder”). All capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Merger Agreement (as defined below).

WHEREAS, in order to induce the Company to enter into the proposed Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of the date hereof (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, Parent, Fathom Digital Manufacturing Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent, Fathom Digital Manufacturing Merger Sub 2, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Company Merger Sub, and Fathom Holdco, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, the Supporting Holders have agreed to enter into this Agreement with respect to the total number of shares of Company Common Stock set forth on Exhibit A (the “Covered Shares”) that are held beneficially and of record by the Supporting Holders as set forth next to each such Supporting Holder's name on Exhibit A.

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE I AGREEMENT TO VOTE

1.1
Voting.
(a)
During the period commencing from the date hereof until the Termination Date (as defined below), each Supporting Holder hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to consent to and vote (or cause to be voted), in person or by proxy at any meeting of the stockholders of the Company (including the Company Stockholder Meeting (and at any adjournment or postponement thereof)), however called, all Covered Shares owned by such Supporting Holder (i) in favor of the adoption of the Merger Agreement and the approval of the Company Merger; (ii) against any action, proposal, transaction or agreement that would reasonably be expected to result in a breach in any respect of any representation, warranty, covenant, obligation or agreement of the Company contained in the Merger Agreement; (iii) in favor of any proposal to adjourn or postpone such meeting to a later date if there are not sufficient votes to obtain the Requisite Stockholder Approval made in accordance with Section 6.3(b) of the Merger Agreement; and (iv) against (A) any Acquisition Proposal or (B) any other action or proposal involving the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that is intended, or would reasonably be expected, to prevent, materially impede or materially delay the consummation of the Merger Agreement, the Mergers or the other Transactions in any material respect or would reasonably be expected to result in any of the Company's obligations under the Merger Agreement not being satisfied (the matters described in the foregoing clauses (i)-(iv), collectively, the “Supported Matters”). For the avoidance of doubt, other than with respect to the Supported Matters, no Supporting Holder has any obligation to vote the Covered Shares in any particular manner and, with respect to any matters

 

other than the Supported Matters, each Supporting Holder shall be entitled to vote its Covered Shares in its sole discretion.

(b)
Each Supporting Holder agrees not to, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, enter into any agreement, commitment or arrangement with any Person, the effect of which would be inconsistent with or violative of the provisions and agreements contained in Section 1.1(a).
1.2
Company Board Recommendation Change. In the event of a Company Board Recommendation Change made in compliance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, then during the pendency thereof, the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock that shall be considered Covered Shares hereunder shall be reduced (with such reduction applying to each Supporting Holder on a pro rata basis in accordance with each Supporting Holder's relative Covered Shares) without any action by the Company, Parent or any Supporting Holder such that the Covered Shares shall represent in the aggregate (after such reduction) thirty-three percent (33%) of the total voting power of the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock, and upon such occurrence, all references to Covered Shares in Section 1.1 shall be deemed to be such reduced number of shares of Company Common Stock. For the avoidance of doubt, upon any Company Board Recommendation Change, each Supporting Holder shall be permitted to vote any shares of Company Common Stock held by such Supporting Holder that are no longer deemed “Covered Shares” pursuant to this Section 1.2 in its sole discretion.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Supporting Holder shall be allowed, without the prior written consent of the Special Committee, to Transfer any Covered Shares (x) to effect a pledge of the Covered Shares (including any existing pledge) to any financial institution in connection with any financing transaction (a “Permitted Pledge”) (so long as such pledge does not prevent or otherwise restrict such Supporting Holder from voting such Covered Shares in accordance with the terms of this Agreement prior to any default and foreclosure under the indebtedness underlying such pledge) or

(y) to an Affiliate or any other entity that is controlled or managed, directly or indirectly, by CORE Industrial Partners, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“CORE”) or any of its Affiliates (an “Affiliate Transfer” and, together with any Permitted Pledges, the “Permitted Transfers”). Prior to the effectiveness of any Affiliate Transfer, the transferee to such Affiliate Transfer shall agree in writing to be bound by the terms hereof (together with appropriate modifications to Exhibit A) and thereafter the obligations of the transferor shall be of no further force and effect with respect to any Covered Shares so Transferred. Any attempted Transfer of Covered Shares in violation of this Section 3.1 shall be null and void.

4.12
Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law, or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or

4.13
Specific Performance. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event any provision of this Agreement is not performed in accordance with the terms hereof and that the parties shall be entitled to specific performance of the terms hereof in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity.
4.14
Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Merger Agreement constitute the entire agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties hereto and all common law duties with respect to the subject matter hereof.
4.15
Non-Recourse. This Agreement may only be enforced against, and any Legal Proceeding based upon, arising out of, or related to this Agreement, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement, may only be brought against the entities that are expressly named as parties hereto and then only with respect to the specific obligations set forth herein with respect to such party. No past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, manager, member, general or limited partner, stockholder, equityholder, controlling person, Affiliate, agent, attorney or other Representative of any party hereto or any of their successors or permitted assigns or any direct or indirect director, officer, employee, incorporator, manager, member, general or limited partner, stockholder, equityholder, controlling person, Affiliate, agent, attorney, Representative, successor or permitted assign of any of the foregoing (each, a “Non-Recourse Party”), shall have any liability to any Supporting Holder, Parent or the Company for any obligations or liabilities of any party under this Agreement or for any Legal Proceeding (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) based on, in respect of or by reason of the transactions contemplated hereby or in respect of any written or oral representations made or alleged to be made in connection herewith.
