The parties to this Agreement, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:


SECTION 1.	Purchase and Sale

1.Assets to be Purchased and Sold

. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at the Closing, the Company agrees to sell, transfer, convey, assign and deliver (“Transfer”), and Purchaser shall purchase, acquire and accept from the Company, all of the Company’s rights, title and interest in and to the following, wherever located, in each case to the extent held or owned by the Company as of the Closing Date and used primarily in the conduct of the Business as of the Closing Date, and in each case excluding the Excluded Assets (collectively, the “Transferred Assets”):

(a)The Intellectual Property listed on Schedule 1.1(a) and, to the extent not identified with specificity on Schedule 1.1(a), all other Acquired Intellectual Property;

All of the Transferred Assets existing on the date hereof shall be sold and transferred to Purchaser under this Section 1.1, it being understood, however, that any Transferred Asset which has been disposed of, consumed, perished, terminated, expired or otherwise ceased to be held by the Company between the date hereof and the Closing Date in the ordinary course of business shall not be part of the Transferred Assets.

2.Excluded Assets

. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, and for the avoidance of doubt, the Company will not be required to Transfer to Purchaser, and the Transferred Assets will not be deemed to include, any of the following or any right or interest in, to or under any of the following (the “Excluded Assets”):

(a)all cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities and intercompany accounts receivable of the Company (and the Acquired Companies, which Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the Acquired Companies shall be permitted to transfer to the Company prior to the Closing);

(b)all minute books, stock books, accounting records (including records relating to Taxes) and similar records of the Company;

(c)all rights in the names and marks listed on Schedule 1.2(c) and any variation or derivation thereof and all URLs;

(f)any interest in or right to any refund or credit of Taxes relating to the Business, the Transferred Assets or the Assumed Liabilities for, or applicable to, any taxable period (or portion thereof) ending on or prior to the Closing Date;

(g)all rights, claims and causes of action relating to any Excluded Asset or any Excluded Liability, including, without limitation, any insurance policies and rights, claims or causes of action thereunder;

(h)any assets relating to any Employee Plan, whether or not related to the Business;

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at the Closing, the Purchaser agrees to assume and to pay, perform and discharge when due the following Liabilities arising out of the Business, whether accrued, absolute, matured, unmatured, contingent or otherwise, and whether arising before or after the Closing Date (the “Assumed Liabilities”):

(a)all accounts payable arising out of the Business;

(b)Liabilities of the Company under the Assumed Contracts;

***Confidential Treatment Requested

(c)Accrued vacations or paid time off for Business Employees set forth on Schedule 1.3(c), accrued vacation or paid time off for Business Employees outside of the United States that has accrued from March 31, 2014 through and including the Closing Date consistent with the Company’s standard policy and the Severance and Retention Agreements with the applicable Business Employees;

(d)all Liabilities for Taxes arising out of or related to the use, ownership, sale or lease of any of the Transferred Assets or the operation of the Business, in each case after the Closing;

(e)all Liabilities (other than for Taxes) of the Company arising out of or related to the use, ownership, sale or lease of any of the Transferred Assets or the operation of the Business, including, without limitation, all warranty obligations relating to the Business Products and all other Liabilities that arise or arose prior to the Closing Date but require performance, in whole or in part, after the Closing Date;

(f)any Liability to the extent included in the calculation of the Net Working Capital finally determined pursuant to Section 1.6; and

(g)any other Liabilities that Purchaser specifically assumes pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

For the avoidance of doubt it is hereby clarified that Purchaser’s assumption of Liabilities under this Section 1.3 shall be considered part of the consideration paid for the Transferred Assets. Any expenses of the Leased Facility or any Transferred Assets, including lease payments, utility, real estate tax, facility maintenance costs and security, and patent prosecution costs that are paid by the Company for the month in which the Closing occurs that are not credited as a current asset in the calculation of Net Working Capital shall be pro-rated between Purchaser and Company on the basis of the actual number of days applicable to the pre-Closing and post-Closing occupancy of the Leased Facility or use of the Transferred Assets and Purchaser shall promptly reimburse the Company for such pro-rated expenses.

4.Excluded Liabilities

. Purchaser will not assume or be liable for any Excluded Liabilities. The Company shall control all claims, proceedings and other matters relating to Excluded Liabilities and Purchaser shall refer all such matters to the Company for handling. “Excluded Liabilities” means all Liabilities of the Company other than Assumed Liabilities. Excluded Liabilities shall include, without limitation, (a) Liabilities arising with respect to the Business Employees or Business Service Providers prior to the Closing except to the extent accrued on the Closing Balance Sheet used to calculate final Net Working Capital and except for Liabilities contemplated by Section 1.3(c), (b) Liabilities arising under or in connection with any Employee Plan of the Company (but subject to the terms of the Transition Services Agreement with respect to transitional continuation of Employee Plans for Business Employees) and, to the extent arising prior to the Closing, Liabilities arising under or in connection with any Employee Plan of the Acquired Companies, except for Liabilities contemplated by Section 1.3(c), (c) Liabilities arising from matters covered by the notices disclosed in Schedule 1.4 but only to the extent of any Damages relating to periods prior to the Closing and costs of defense of any Proceeding relating to conduct during periods prior to the Closing (“Identified Excluded Liability”), it being understood that any Damages or Liabilities relating to periods after the Closing shall not be considered Excluded Liabilities, (d) Liabilities arising with respect to the breach prior to Closing of any Assumed Contracts; and (e) expenses or Liabilities of the Company related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. To the extent, if any, that any Liability might be partly an Assumed Liability and partly an Excluded Liability, the apportionment of such Liability shall be determined pursuant to equitable principles.

5.Purchase Price

. The consideration for the sale of the Transferred Assets to Purchaser shall be (collectively, the “Purchase Price”):

***Confidential Treatment Requested

(a)the assumption of the Assumed Liabilities; Thirty-One Million Eight Hundred Thousand Dollars ($31,800,000), subject to adjustment at and following the Closing in accordance with Section 1.6 (the “Closing Consideration”); and

(b)the Milestone Payments, if and to the extent earned.

1.5A Indemnity Escrow Fund.

(c)At the Closing, the sum of One Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,500,000) (the “Indemnity Escrow Fund”) shall be delivered to, held and distributed by Wilmington Trust, National Association (the “Escrow Agent”), in an interest bearing account pursuant to an escrow agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit J (the “Escrow Agreement”).

(d)Subject to and in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement, the Indemnity Escrow Fund shall be held and made available as a source to fund the indemnification obligations of the Company for 18 months after the Closing Date, provided that $500,000 of the Indemnity Escrow Fund shall be released to the Company on the 12 month anniversary of the Closing Date, provided, further that, as of the scheduled date of any release of the Indemnity Escrow Fund to the Company, (i) such release amount shall be reduced by an amount equal to all resolved indemnifiable claims made by Purchaser against the Indemnity Escrow Fund and (ii) in the event there is any indemnifiable claim by Purchaser against the Indemnity Escrow Fund which remains outstanding or unresolved, a reserve of 100% of the amount of such claim shall remain in the Indemnity Escrow Fund until such claim is resolved and the withheld amount is distributed in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement.

(e)The fees and expenses of the Escrow Agent shall be paid 50% by Purchaser and 50% by the Company.

6.Purchase Price Adjustment.

(a)Pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Section 1.6, the Closing Consideration shall be increased by the amount by which Net Working Capital exceeds Target Net Working Capital, or decreased by the amount by which Target Net Working Capital exceeds Net Working Capital. No adjustment will be made to the extent that Net Working Capital exceeds Target Net Working Capital by less than $[…***…] or is less than Target Net Working Capital by less than $[…***…].

Prior to the Closing, the Company shall deliver to Purchaser a certificate signed by a duly-appointed officer of the Company (the “Company Closing Certificate”) (i) attaching a good faith estimated balance sheet of the Business as of 11:59 p.m. local time in San Diego, California on the date immediately prior to the Closing Date (prepared in a manner consistent with the Financial Statements and in accordance with GAAP and the accounting principles and policies set forth in Exhibit B hereto (the “Applicable Accounting Principles”)), and (ii) setting forth in reasonable detail a good faith estimate as of 11:59 p.m. local time in San Diego, California on the date immediately prior to the Closing Date of the following items: (x) the estimated Net Working Capital (calculated in accordance with GAAP and the Applicable Accounting Principles) and (y) the estimated Closing Consideration (the “Company-Calculated 6

(b) Closing Consideration”). For purposes of Section 1.10(b), the Company-Calculated Closing Consideration shall be deemed to be the Closing Consideration.

(c)As promptly as practicable, but no later than sixty (60) days after the Closing, Purchaser shall deliver to the Company a certificate signed by a duly-appointed officer of Purchaser (the “Purchaser Post-Closing Certificate”) (i) attaching a good faith draft balance sheet (“Closing Balance Sheet”) of the Business as of 11:59 p.m. local time in San Diego, California on the date immediately prior to the Closing Date (prepared in accordance with GAAP and the Applicable Accounting Principles), and (ii) setting forth in reasonable detail a good faith estimate as of 11:59 p.m. local time in San Diego, California on the date immediately prior to the Closing Date of the following items: (x) the estimated Net Working Capital (calculated in accordance with GAAP and the Applicable Accounting Principles) and (y) the estimated Closing Consideration (the “Purchaser-Calculated Closing Consideration”). If, within the sixty (60) calendar days following the Closing, Purchaser fails to deliver the Purchaser Post-Closing Certificate to the Company, then

***Confidential Treatment Requested

the Company’s calculation of the Closing Consideration set forth in the Company Closing Certificate shall be final, binding and conclusive on the parties for all purposes hereunder and not subject to further dispute or challenge.

(d)If, within the thirty (30) calendar days following delivery of the Purchaser Post-Closing Certificate, the Company has not given Purchaser written notice of any good faith objection to any of the items set forth in the Purchaser Post-Closing Certificate (such a notice being an “Dispute Notice”), then the Purchaser-Calculated Closing Consideration set forth in the Purchaser Post-Closing Certificate shall be final, binding and conclusive on the parties for all purposes hereunder and not subject to further dispute or challenge. During the thirty (30) calendar days following delivery of the Purchaser Post-Closing Certificate, Purchaser shall provide the Company and its representatives with access to the work papers of Purchaser and its representatives that are requested by the Company and relate to the preparation of the Purchaser Post-Closing Certificate.

(e)If the Company delivers to Purchaser a Dispute Notice within the thirty (30) calendar day period referred to in Section 1.6(d) of this Agreement, then the Company and Purchaser shall in good faith attempt to resolve the disputed issues set forth in such Dispute Notice, which resolution, if achieved with respect to any or all such disputed issues, shall be final, binding and conclusive on the parties for all purposes hereunder and not subject to further dispute or challenge. If the Company and Purchaser fail to resolve any disputed issues within the thirty (30) calendar days following Purchaser’s receipt of such Dispute Notice, the Company and Purchaser shall submit the disputed issues (and only such issues) set forth in such Dispute Notice remaining in dispute to a nationally recognized certified public accounting firm mutually selected by the Company and Purchaser (the “Independent Accountants”) for resolution in accordance with the guidelines and procedures set forth in this Agreement. The scope of disputes to be resolved by the Independent Accountants shall be limited to whether the items in dispute that were included in the Dispute Notice were prepared and/or calculated in accordance with this Agreement (including the Applicable Accounting Principles), and the Independent Accountants shall determine, on such basis, to what extent the calculation of the Purchaser-Calculated Closing Consideration requires adjustment. The Independent Accountants’ decisions shall be based solely on presentations by the Company and Purchaser and their respective representatives, and not by independent review, and the Independent Accountants shall only address those issues set forth in the Dispute Notice that remain unresolved. In resolving any disputed issue, in no event shall the Independent Accountant’ determination be higher or lower than the respective amounts therefor proposed by the Company and Purchaser. If any disputed issues are submitted to the Independent Accountants for resolution, (i) the Company and Purchaser shall furnish or cause to be furnished to the Independent Accountants such work papers and other documents and information relating to the disputed issues as the Independent Accountants may request and are available to that party or its agents and shall be afforded the opportunity to present to the Independent Accountants any material relating to the disputed issues; (ii) the determination by the Independent Accountants, as set forth in a notice to be delivered to both the Company and Purchaser within thirty (30) days of the submission to the Independent Accountants of the issues remaining in dispute, shall be final, binding and conclusive on the parties and not subject to further dispute or challenge; and (iii) the fees and expenses of the Independent Accountants shall be allocated and payable by Purchaser and the Company in proportion to the amounts by which their proposals differed from the Independent Accountants’ final determination of the matters in dispute, and the Independent Accountants shall determine and specify such proportions in the Independent Accountants’ final determination. For example, should the items submitted to the Independent Accountants total $1,000 and the Independent Accountants award $600 in favor of the Company’s position, 60% of the fees and expenses of the Independent Accountants will be paid by Purchaser and 40% of the fees and expenses of the Independent Accountants will be paid by the Company.

(f)If the Purchaser-Calculated Closing Consideration as finally determined pursuant to this Section 1.6 exceeds the Company-Calculated Closing Consideration, Purchaser shall pay to the Company the amount of such excess. If the Purchaser-Calculated Closing Consideration as finally determined pursuant

***Confidential Treatment Requested

to this Section 1.6 is less than the Company-Calculated Closing Consideration, the Company shall pay to Purchaser the amount of such difference. All amounts to be paid pursuant to this Section 1.6(f) shall be paid within five (5) Business Days after the date of final determination of the Purchaser-Calculated Closing Consideration.

(g)Any payments made under this Section 1.6 shall be treated by the parties as an adjustment to the Purchase Price payable hereunder for Tax purposes, unless a final determination (which shall include the execution of a Form 870-AD or successor form) with respect to such payment causes any such payment not to be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price payable hereunder for Tax purposes.

7.Milestone Payments.

510(k) Milestone Payment. Upon the achievement of the 510(k) Milestone, Purchaser shall pay to the Company a one-time payment (the “510(k) Milestone Payment”) in the amount of (i) Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) if the 510(k) Milestone occurs on or before September 30, 2014 or (ii) One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) if the 510(k) Milestone occurs after September 30, 2014 and on or before December 31, 2014. If the 510(k) Milestone does not occur by December 31, 2014, then no 510(k) Milestone Payment will be due or payable. Any payment of the 510(k) Milestone Payment pursuant to this Section 1.7(a) shall be made to the Company within five (5) Business Days of the occurrence of the 510(k) Milestone by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Company. As used in 8 ***Confidential Treatment Requested

this Agreement, “510(k) Milestone” means the date that […***…].

(a)2014 Revenue Milestone Payment.

(i)Subject to the terms of this Section 1.7, Purchaser shall pay to the Company a one-time payment in the amount of Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) (the “2014 Revenue Milestone Payment”) if the 2014 Business Revenue is greater than or equal to $[…***…] (such amount, the “2014 Revenue Target” and such milestone, the “2014 Revenue Milestone”). If the 2014 Business Revenue is less than the 2014 Revenue Target, then no 2014 Revenue Milestone Payment will be due or payable.

(ii)No later than […***…], Purchaser shall submit to the Company Purchaser’s preliminary calculation of the 2014 Business Revenue. No later than […***…], Purchaser shall submit to the Company Purchaser’s final calculation of the 2014 Business Revenue (the “2014 Business Revenue Calculation”), together with copies of Purchaser’s audited balance sheet as of December 31, 2014, and Purchaser’s audited statements of income and cash flows for the year then ended, and such other reasonable details supporting Purchaser’s calculation of the 2014 Business Revenue as the Company reasonably requests. After delivery of the 2014 Business Revenue Calculation and until any dispute with respect thereto is finally resolved (as set forth below), the Company and its accountants shall be permitted reasonable access, during normal business hours and upon reasonable advance notice, to review the books and records of Purchaser and the Acquired Companies related to the preparation of the 2014 Business Revenue Calculation. If, within thirty (30) days following delivery of the 2014 Business Revenue Calculation, the Company has not given Purchaser written notice of any good faith objection to the 2014 Business Revenue Calculation (such a notice being an “Objection Notice”), then the 2014 Business Revenue Calculation shall be deemed final and shall be binding and conclusive on Purchaser and the Company for all purposes and not subject to further dispute or challenge. If, within thirty (30) days following delivery of the 2014 Business Revenue Calculation, the Company has given Purchaser an Objection Notice, the calculation of the 2014 Business Revenue and whether the 2014 Revenue Milestone Payment is due and payable shall be finally determined in accordance with the review and dispute procedures provided in Section 1.6(e) of this Agreement; provided that (A) all references to “Dispute Notice” shall be deemed replaced with “Objection Notice” and all references to “Purchaser-Calculated Closing Consideration” shall be deemed replaced with “2014 Business Revenue” and (B) in lieu of Section 1.6(e)(iii) and the last sentence of Section 1.6(e), the fees and expenses of the Independent Accountants shall be allocated and payable by Purchaser if the 2014 Business Revenue is finally determined

***Confidential Treatment Requested

to be greater than or equal to the 2014 Revenue Target or by the Company if the 2014 Business Revenue is finally determined to be less than the 2014 Revenue Target.

Any payment of the 2014 Revenue Milestone Payment pursuant to this Section 1.7(b) shall be made by Purchaser to the Company, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Company, (A) concurrently with delivery of the 2014 Business Revenue Calculation if such calculation reflects 2014 Business Revenue of greater than or equal to the 2014 Revenue Target, or (B) within five (5) Business Days of the 9 ***Confidential Treatment Requested

final determination pursuant to Section 1.7(b) if the 2014 Business Revenue is finally determined to be greater than or equal to the 2014 Revenue Target.

(b)Change of Control. At any time prior to the payment of the Milestone Payments to the Company (or a final determination that no further Milestone Payments are or may be payable to the Company), prior to effecting any Change of Control, Purchaser must first obtain the written consent of the Company (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld). Purchaser agrees that it shall provide the Company with any information or documentation it may reasonably request in order for the Company to assess the reasonableness of any such request for consent.

(c)Records; Audit. Purchaser shall maintain, and cause its Affiliates and licensees to maintain, complete and accurate records regarding the 510(k) Milestone and the amounts that are relevant to calculation of the 2014 Business Revenue under this Agreement, and such records shall be retained and open during reasonable business hours for a period of two (2) years from the creation of individual records for examination (or for a longer period of time, if required by applicable Law) by the Company and its representatives, including an independent certified public accountant that is selected by the Company, for the purposes of determining if Purchaser has complied with Purchaser’s Diligence Obligation and verifying the correctness of the 2014 Business Revenue Calculation made by Purchaser and its Affiliates and licensees under this Agreement. Purchaser shall promptly make any payments necessary to the Company to correct any failure to make a Milestone Payment when due and payable, which payments shall include interest on any such unpaid amounts calculated at a rate of […***…].

Purchaser Diligence; Remedies. Purchaser will operate the Business, in its sole discretion, and is not under any obligation to provide any specific level of investment or financial assistance to the Business or its products or, except as otherwise explicitly stated in this Section 1.7, to undertake any specific actions (or to refrain from taking any specific actions) with respect to the operation of the Business. Purchaser does not represent or warrant that such conditions or milestones will be met, nor will the Company have any claims against Purchaser arising from the Business’ failure to meet for any reason any specific condition. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser hereby agrees (the following, the “Purchaser’s Diligence Obligation”) (A) to use commercially reasonable efforts to achieve the 510(k) Milestone and to achieve the 2014 Revenue Target (B) not (nor shall it permit any of its Affiliates or other successors to the Transferred Assets) (i) to withdraw or amend the Premarket Notification at any time prior to December 31, 2014, (ii) discontinue or divest any Business Product during the 2014 calendar year or offer trade, quantity or cash discounts, rebates, refunds, chargebacks or other allowances with respect to any Business Product during the 2014 calendar year that are inconsistent in any material respect with those discounts, rebates, refunds, chargebacks or other allowances offered by the Company with respect to any Business Product during the 2014 calendar year; provided that this clause (ii) shall not prevent the Purchaser from reasonably responding to competitive or market changes following the Closing that are reasonably likely to adversely affect the Business without such response. In the event of a breach of Purchaser’s Diligence Obligation, Purchaser shall pay to the Company on or before the date that is five (5) Business Days after final determination of such breach in accordance with this Agreement, any portion of the relevant Milestone Payment(s) that remains unpaid as of such 10

date, regardless of whether the Milestones or other conditions set forth in this Section 1.7 above have occurred. Upon the request of the Company, Purchaser shall from time to time provide such information

***Confidential Treatment Requested

as is reasonably requested by the Company with respect to status of progress toward achieving the Milestones.

(d)Treatment of Milestone Payments. Any payments made under this Section 1.7 shall be treated by the parties as an adjustment to the Purchase Price payable hereunder for Tax purposes and shall be allocated to goodwill, unless a final determination (which shall include the execution of a Form 870-AD or successor form) with respect to such payment causes any such payment not to be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price payable hereunder for Tax purposes.

8.Allocation of Purchase Price

. The Purchase Price (including the Assumed Liabilities and other applicable amounts) shall be allocated among the Transferred Assets in accordance with Schedule 1.8 attached hereto, provided that the Company and Purchaser may mutually agree to modify Schedule 1.8 following the Closing (it being understood that such schedule will be prepared in compliance with Section 1060 of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder), and such allocation will be conclusive and binding upon the parties hereto for all purposes. Purchaser and the Company shall each file all Tax Returns (including amended returns and claims for refund) in a manner consistent with such allocation. Neither Purchaser nor the Company shall take any position with respect to Taxes that is inconsistent with the agreed upon allocation, including in any audit or examination by any Tax Authority, unless required by applicable Law. Purchaser and the Company shall prepare and timely file such reports and information returns as may be required under applicable Law to report the allocation of the Purchase Price among the Transferred Assets in accordance with Schedule 1.8. Each party agrees to notify the other parties in the event that any Tax Authority takes or proposes to take a position for Tax purposes that is inconsistent with the allocation set forth in Schedule 1.8.

9.Absence of Consents

. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement to the contrary, this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements shall not constitute an agreement to Transfer and shall not effect the Transfer of any Transferred Asset (including Assumed Contracts) if an attempted Transfer thereof, without the approval, authorization or Consent of, or granting or issuance of any license by, any third party (each such action, a “Necessary Consent”) would constitute a breach or other contravention under any agreement or Law to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound. If any such Necessary Consent is not obtained, or if an attempted assignment of the related Transferred Asset would be ineffective without a Necessary Consent, to the extent feasible, the Company and Purchaser will enter into a mutually agreeable arrangement (i) under which Purchaser would obtain the benefits and assume the obligations of such Transferred Asset in accordance with this Agreement via subcontracting, sublicensing, subleasing or some other mutually agreed upon method, or (ii) the Company would enforce against third parties, for the benefit of Purchaser, any and all rights of the Company with respect to such Transferred Asset, with Purchaser assuming the Company’s applicable obligations (it being understood that in no event shall the Company be required to make any payments or incur any Liabilities to third parties in connection with its obligations under this Section 1.9, and Purchaser shall indemnify and reimburse the Company for any such payment or Liability). During the twelve 32

month period following the Closing, the Company shall continue to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the Necessary Consents. Purchaser agrees that, provided that the Company discharges its obligations set forth above, the Company shall not have any Liability to Purchaser (and there shall be no adjustment to the Purchase Price) arising out of or relating to the failure to obtain any Necessary Consent, the inability to subcontract, sublicense, sublease or otherwise transfer the benefits and obligations of any such Transferred Asset to Purchaser, or because of any circumstances resulting therefrom.

4.7 Post-Closing Covenant as to Transferred Assets and Acquired Companies’ Cash

***Confidential Treatment Requested

(a) Subject to Section 1.9, to the extent after the Closing Date Purchaser reasonably identifies an asset of the Company which should have been included as part of the Transferred Assets, including but not limited to any Acquired Intellectual Property, the Company agrees to promptly assign such asset to Purchaser nunc pro tunc to the Closing Date, as if such asset had been identified and transferred as a Transferred Asset at the time of the Closing Date. To the extent an asset that is owned by the Company that should have been included in Transferred Assets cannot be transferred to Purchaser, as reasonably demonstrated by the Company to Purchaser (including due to Purchaser’s use of such asset outside the Business), the Company hereby licenses that asset to Purchaser (to the extent permissible) on an exclusive (even as to the Company), royalty-free, perpetual, non-terminable basis for use in the Business in the manner such asset is currently used by the Business (it being understood that if such asset is leased or licensed to the Company, such lease or license shall retain the character of the underlying grant (e.g., if it is non-exclusive or subject to a royalty, the asset shall continue to be subject to such terms)). The provisions (including the transfer and/or licensing obligations) of this Section 4.7 shall be binding on any successors or assigns to the asset in question.

(b) Purchaser agrees that, as soon as reasonably practicable following the Closing, it shall transfer to the Company all cash and cash equivalents held by any Acquired Company as of the Closing.


SECTION 5.	Indemnification

1.Indemnification.

(a)Subject to the other provisions of this Section 5:

(i)The Company shall indemnify Purchaser and its Affiliates (each a “Purchaser Indemnified Party”) in respect of, and hold them harmless against, any Damages suffered by a Purchaser Indemnified Party resulting from:

(1)any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty made by the Company in this Agreement;

(2)any failure of the Company to perform any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement; and

(3)any failure of the Company to satisfy or discharge any Excluded Liability in a timely manner.

(ii)Purchaser shall indemnify the Company and its Affiliates and assigns (each a “Company Indemnified Party”) in respect of, and hold them harmless against, any Damages suffered by a Company Indemnified Party resulting from:

(1)any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty made by Purchaser in this Agreement;

(2)any failure of Purchaser to perform any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement; and

(3)any failure of Purchaser to satisfy or discharge any Assumed Liability in a timely manner.

(b)In the event an Indemnified Party becomes aware of a third-party claim (including any action or proceeding commenced or threatened to be commenced by any third-party) that such Indemnified Party reasonably believes may result in a claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 5.1(a), such Indemnified Party shall promptly (and in any event within three (3) business days after becoming aware of such claim) notify the Company (in the event the Indemnified Party is a Purchaser Indemnified Party) or Purchaser (in the event the Indemnified Party is a Company Indemnified Party) in writing of such claim (such notice, the “Claim Notice”). The Claim Notice shall describe in reasonable detail (to the extent known by the Indemnified Party) the facts constituting the basis for such claim and the amount of the claimed Damages; provided, however, that no delay or failure on the part of an Indemnified Party in delivering a

***Confidential Treatment Requested

Claim Notice shall relieve the Person with the indemnification obligations under Section 5.1(a) (the “Indemnifying Party”) from any Liability hereunder except to the extent of any Damage or Liability caused by or arising out of such delay or failure. Within twenty (20) days after receipt of any Claim Notice, the Indemnifying Party may, upon written notice thereof to the Indemnified Party, assume control of the defense of the claim referred to therein at the Indemnifying Party’s sole cost and expense with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party does not so assume control of the defense of such claim, the Indemnified Party shall control the defense of such claim. The Person not controlling the defense of such claim (the “Non-controlling Party”) may participate therein at its own expense; provided, however, that if the Indemnifying Party assumes control of the defense of such claim and the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party have materially conflicting interests or different defenses available with respect to such claim which cause the Indemnified Party to hire its own separate counsel with respect to such claim, the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Party shall be considered Damages for purposes of this Agreement. The party controlling the defense of such claim (the “Controlling Party”) shall keep the Non-controlling Party advised of the status of such claim and the defense thereof and shall consider in good faith recommendations made by the Non-controlling Party with respect thereto. The Non-controlling Party shall furnish the Controlling Party with such information as it may have with respect to such claim (including copies of any summons, complaint or other pleading which may have been served on such party and any written claim, demand, invoice, billing or other document evidencing or asserting the same) and shall otherwise cooperate with and assist the Controlling Party in the defense of such claim. Neither Purchaser nor the Company shall agree to any settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any such claim without the prior written consent of the other of such parties, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, however, that the consent of Purchaser shall not be required with respect to any such settlement or judgment if the Company agrees in writing to pay or cause to be paid any amounts payable pursuant to such settlement or judgment (subject to Section 5.3) and such settlement or judgment includes a complete release of all Purchaser Indemnified Parties from further Liability. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 5 to the contrary, Section 6 shall apply with respect to any Tax Claim. It is understood and agreed between the Parties that with respect to any third-party claim relating to the Identified Excluded Liability, for which Purchaser is responsible for paying the costs of defense of a Proceeding, Purchaser, not the Company, shall be the Controlling Party, and thus shall control the defense of (and shall pay the cost of attorneys fees for defending) any claim relating to the Identified Excluded Liability. However, pursuant to Section 1.4, the Company shall be responsible for paying any Damages (other than the defense costs discussed in the immediately preceding sentence) resulting from the Identified Excluded Liability, to the extent such Damages relate to activities by the Company prior to the Closing.

(c)In order to seek indemnification under this Section 5, the Indemnified Party shall deliver a written demand (an “Indemnification Demand”) to the Indemnifying Party which contains (i) the estimated amount of any Damages incurred or reasonably expected to be incurred by the Indemnified Party, (ii) a statement that the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification under Section 5.1 for such Damages and an explanation of the basis therefor, and (iii) a demand for payment in the amount of such Damages (the “Asserted Damages Amount”).

(d)Within twenty (20) days after delivery of an Indemnification Demand to an Indemnifying Party, such Indemnifying Party shall deliver to the Indemnified Party a written response (the “Response”) in which the Indemnifying Party shall: (i) agree that the Indemnified Party is entitled to receive all of the Asserted Damages Amount (in which case the Response shall be accompanied by a payment to the Indemnified Party of the full Asserted Damages Amount); (ii) agree that the Indemnified Party is entitled to receive part, but not all, of the Asserted Damages Amount (such portion, the “Agreed Portion”) (in which case the Response shall be accompanied by a payment to the Indemnified Party of the Agreed Portion); or (iii) dispute that the Indemnified Party is entitled to receive any of the Asserted Damages Amount.

(e)In the event that the Person providing a Response pursuant to Section 5.1(d) shall (i) dispute that the Indemnified Party is entitled to receive any of the Asserted Damages Amount, or (ii) agree

***Confidential Treatment Requested

that the Indemnified Party is entitled to only the Agreed Portion of the Asserted Damages Amount, Purchaser and the Company shall attempt in good faith to agree upon the rights of the respective parties with respect to each of the indemnification claims that comprise the Asserted Damages Amount (or the portion of the Asserted Damages Amount not comprising the Agreed Portion). If Purchaser and the Company should so agree, a memorandum setting forth such agreement shall be prepared and signed by the applicable parties. If no such agreement can be reached after good faith negotiation within sixty (60) days after delivery of a Response, either Purchaser or the Company may initiate proceedings to resolve such unresolved matter.

2.Survival of Representations and Warranties

. All representations and warranties contained in this Agreement shall (a) survive the Closing and (b) expire at 5:00 p.m. local time in San Diego, California on the date that is 18 months after the Closing Date (the “Expiration Date”). All covenants and agreements of the parties contained in this Agreement that are to be performed at or prior to the Closing shall expire on the Closing Date, and all covenants and agreements of the parties contained in this Agreement to be performed following the Closing shall survive until performed in accordance with this Agreement. If any Indemnified Party delivers to the Indemnifying Party, before the Expiration Date, either a Claim Notice or an Indemnification Demand based upon a breach of a representation or warranty, then the demand for indemnification set forth therein shall survive until, but only for purposes of, the resolution of the matter covered by such Claim Notice or Indemnification Demand, as applicable. If the claim, demand or other matter with respect to which such Claim Notice or Indemnification Demand has been given is definitively withdrawn or resolved, the Indemnified Party that provided such Claim Notice or Indemnification Demand shall promptly so notify the 33 ***Confidential Treatment Requested

Indemnifying Party that received such Claim Notice or Indemnification Demand. The survival periods set forth herein are in lieu of, and the parties expressly waive, any otherwise applicable statute of limitations.

3.Limitations

(a)Except for Fraud claims and claims under Section 6 and Section 7.12, this Section 5 shall be the exclusive means for a Purchaser Indemnified Party to collect any Damages for which such Person is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement or otherwise and under any theory of Liability, and the Company’s aggregate Liability to Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall not exceed $[…***…]; provided, however, that such limitation shall not apply with respect only to the Identified Excluded Liability. Subject to the previous sentence, no current or former stockholder, optionholder, director, officer, employee, Affiliate or advisor of the Company or any Affiliate of the Company shall have any Liability of any nature to any Purchaser Indemnified Party with respect to the breach by the Company of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement or any other matter relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(b)The parties acknowledge that (i) no current or former stockholder, optionholder, director, officer, employee, Affiliate or advisor of the Company has made or is making any representations or warranties whatsoever regarding the Company or the subject matter of this Agreement, express or implied; and (ii) there shall not be any multiple recovery for any Damages.

(c)The Purchaser Indemnified Parties must first pursue the Indemnity Escrow Fund (as reduced from time to time in accordance with the Escrow Agreement) for payment of the Company’s indemnification obligations under this Agreement to the extent of the remaining balance thereof prior to pursuing the Company.

(d)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, no Purchaser Indemnified Party shall be entitled to recover any Damages under Section 5.1(a)(i)(1) unless and until the aggregate Damages for which they would otherwise be entitled to indemnification under Section 5.1(a)(i) exceed $[…***…] of the Closing Consideration (at which point Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall become entitled to be indemnified for such Damages from the first dollar).

4.Nature of Payments

.

5.Set Off; Suspension.

(a)Purchaser may, at its option, set off any amount to which Purchaser has been determined to be entitled from the Company under this Section 5 pursuant to a Final Determination (as defined below) of a claim specified in an Indemnification Demand against any Milestone Payment otherwise payable by Purchaser to the Company.

(b)If Purchaser delivers an Indemnification Demand to the Company prior to the Expiration Date, then, until there has been a Final Determination of such Indemnification Demand, Purchaser’s obligation to pay that portion of any Milestone Payment otherwise payable by Purchaser to the Company under this Agreement equal to the actual or estimated amount of such claim as specified in such Indemnification Demand is suspended (subject to the limitations set forth in Section 5.3). Upon the Final Determination of such Indemnification Demand, Purchaser shall promptly pay to the Company any portion of such suspended amount which, but for the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.5(b), would have been due and payable under this Agreement prior to the making of such Final Determination, except to the extent that either (i) Purchaser is entitled and elects to exercise its right of set off under Section 5.5(a) with respect to that portion of such suspended amount, or (ii) the obligation of Purchaser to pay that portion of such suspended amount has been suspended under this Section 5.5(b) with respect to any other Indemnification Demand as to which no Final Determination has yet been made.

SECTION 6.	Tax Matters

1.Cooperation

. In connection with the preparation of Tax Returns, audit examinations, and any administrative or judicial proceedings relating to the Business or the Transferred Assets or any Tax Liabilities imposed on the Acquired

***Confidential Treatment Requested

Companies for any Tax periods or portions of Tax periods through the Closing Date (“Pre-Closing Tax Periods”), Purchaser and the Company shall cooperate fully with each other, including the furnishing or making available during normal business hours of records, personnel (as reasonably required), books of account, powers of attorney or other materials necessary or helpful for the preparation of such Tax Returns, the conduct of audit examinations or the defense of claims by Tax Authorities as to the imposition of Taxes. Purchaser shall and shall cause the Acquired Companies to (i) retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to the Acquired Companies relating to any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations (and any extension thereof) for the respective taxable periods, and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any Tax Authority, and (ii) give the Company reasonable written notice prior to transferring, destroying or discarding any such books and records and allow the Company to take possession of such books and records.

2.Amendment of Tax Returns

. Neither Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates shall amend, refile, revoke or otherwise modify any Tax Return or Tax election of the Acquired Companies with respect to a Pre-Closing Tax Period without the prior written consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

3.Responsibility for Filing Tax Returns

. The Company shall be responsible for all Taxes payable in respect of the Transferred Assets and all Taxes payable by the Acquired Companies for all Pre-Closing Tax Periods other than any Taxes taken into account in determining Net Working Capital pursuant to Section 1.6. The Company shall be responsible for filing all Tax Returns in respect of the Transferred Assets and all Tax Returns of the Acquired Companies that are due on or prior to the Closing Date. All such Tax Returns shall be prepared and filed in a manner consistent with prior practice, except as required by applicable Law. Purchaser shall cause the Acquired Companies to file all Tax Returns in respect of Pre-Closing Tax Periods that are due after the Closing Date. The Company shall promptly reimburse Purchaser for any Taxes of an Acquired Company for any Pre-Closing Tax Period (other than any Tax taken into consideration pursuant to Section 1.6 in determining Net Working Capital) within five (5) days of Purchaser’s written request for such reimbursement, which shall be accompanied by the Tax Return showing the amount of Tax due for such Pre-Closing Tax Period.

4.Straddle Periods

. In the case of any Tax period that includes (but does not end on) the Closing Date (any such Tax period hereinafter is referred to as a “Straddle Period”), the amount of any Taxes based on or measured by income or receipts of the Company or any of the Acquired Companies for the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be determined based on an interim closing of the books of such Acquired Company as of the Closing Date and the amount of other Taxes of the Acquired Companies for a Straddle Period that relates to the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be deemed to be an amount of such Tax for the entire Tax period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days from the beginning of the Straddle Period through and including the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in such Straddle Period. For purposes of this Agreement, any Tax allocated to the Pre-Closing Tax Period under this Section 6.4(a) and not taken into consideration pursuant to Section 1.6 in determining Net Working Capital shall be treated as an Excluded Liability and shall be the responsibility of the Company. For purposes of this Agreement, a portion of each property Tax or similar Tax with respect to the Transferred Assets that is attributable to any Straddle Period shall be treated as an Excluded Liability and shall be the responsibility of the Company, and that portion shall be equal to the total amount of such Tax for the entire taxable period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in such taxable period falling before and including the Closing Date, and the denominator of which is the total number of days in such taxable period. The remainder of any such Tax shall be the responsibility of Purchaser.

5.Refunds

***Confidential Treatment Requested

. All refunds or credits of Taxes (including any interest thereon) received by or credited to any of the Acquired Companies attributable to periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date or to such portions of Straddle Periods attributable to the period ending on or prior to the Closing Date shall be for the benefit of the Company, except to the extent taken into account in determining Net Working Capital pursuant to Section 1.6, and Purchaser shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any such refunds and promptly remit the payments over to the Company.

6.Tax Contests

(a)Purchaser shall notify the Company upon receipt by any of the Acquired Companies, the Purchaser or any Affiliate of the Purchaser or the Acquired Companies of any written notice, inquiries, assessments, Proceedings, or audits received from any Tax Authority with respect to Taxes of the Acquired Companies for which the Company otherwise would be required to indemnify the Purchaser pursuant to this Section 6 (a “Tax Claim”). The Company may participate in and, upon notice to Purchaser, assume the defense of any such Tax Claim at the Company’s sole cost. If the Company assumes such defense, the Company shall have the authority, with respect to any Tax Claim, to represent the interests of the Acquired Companies before the relevant Tax Authority and shall have the right to control the defense, compromise or other resolution of any such Tax Claim, including responding to inquiries, and contesting, defending against and resolving any assessment for additional Taxes or notice of Tax deficiency or other adjustment of Taxes of, or relating to, such Tax Claim. Purchaser shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Company all powers of attorney necessary for the Company to contest such Tax Claim. Purchaser shall have the right (but not the duty) to participate in the defense of such Tax Claim and to employ counsel, at its own expense, separate from the counsel employed by the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not enter into any settlement of or otherwise compromise any such Tax Claim to the extent that it adversely affects Purchaser, the Acquired Companies or any Affiliate of the foregoing without the prior written consent of Purchaser (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). The Company shall keep Purchaser informed with respect to the status and nature of any such Tax Claim, and will, in good faith, allow Purchaser to consult with it regarding the conduct of or positions taken in any such proceeding.

(b)If the Company does not assume the defense of any Tax Claim, Purchaser shall represent the interests of the Acquired Companies with respect to any Tax Claim before the relevant Tax Authority and shall control the defense, compromise or other resolution of any such Tax Claim, including responding to inquiries, and contesting, defending against and resolving any assessment for additional Taxes or notice of Tax deficiency or other adjustment of Taxes of, or relating to, such Tax Claim, if any. The Company shall have the right (but not the duty) to participate in the defense of such Tax Claim and to employ counsel, at its own expense, separate from the counsel employed by Purchaser. The Company shall reimburse Purchaser for all expenses, including legal and accounting fees, incurred in connection with such defense, compromise or other resolution of such Tax Claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser may not enter into any settlement of or otherwise compromise any such Tax Claim to the extent that it adversely affects the rights and obligations of the Company hereunder without the prior written consent of the Company (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Purchaser shall keep the Company informed with respect to the status and nature of any such Tax Claim, and will, in good faith, allow the Company to consult with it regarding the conduct of or positions taken in any such proceeding. In the event that either the Company or Purchaser makes a payment of Tax for which the other party is responsible, the other party shall reimburse such Tax promptly but in no event later than thirty (30) days after the presentation to such party of a statement setting forth the amount of reimbursement to which the presenting party is entitled along with such supporting evidence as is reasonably necessary to calculate the amount of reimbursement.

Exhibit B

Applicable Accounting Principles

SEQUENOM, INC.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

We are a life sciences company providing innovative genomic and genetic analysis solutions for the clinical research and molecular diagnostic markets through Sequenom Bioscience, formerly our Genetic Analysis segment. We provide technologies and tools for translational research, oncology, agricultural genomics and clinical diagnostics through Sequenom Bioscience.

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, and include the accounts of Sequenom, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, collectively referred to as Sequenom, or the Company. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2012 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the information and disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements.

In the opinion of management these quarterly financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, except for the restructuring costs described in footnote 8 to these condensed consolidated financial statements, necessary for a fair statement of the results presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year or any other period(s). These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and disclosures included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, on April 2, 2013.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates and assumptions.

Revenue Recognition

Our revenues are generated primarily from the sale of products and providing services. Sequenom Bioscience product sales and services revenues primarily consist of sales of MassARRAY systems and consumables used in genetic analysis, including extended warranty services associated with the MassARRAY systems, as well as other amounts earned under contract research agreements.

Revenues are recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the price is fixed and determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. Revenues are deferred for fees received before earned.

Revenues from sales of MassARRAY systems and consumables are recognized upon shipment and transfer of title to the customer and when all revenue recognition criteria are met. Our contracts do not contain refund or cancellation clauses. Revenues from the sale or licensing of our proprietary software are recognized upon transfer of title to the customer. We recognize revenues on maintenance services for ongoing customer support over the maintenance period.

Cost of Revenues

***Confidential Treatment Requested

Cost of revenues includes the cost of materials, direct labor including laboratory, manufacturing and service personnel, equipment and infrastructure expenses associated with processing blood and other samples, quality control analyses, and shipping charges to transport samples and products, and license fees. Infrastructure expenses include allocated facility occupancy and information technology costs.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses are comprised of costs incurred to develop technology and carry out clinical studies and include salaries and benefits, reagents and supplies used in research and development laboratory work, infrastructure expenses, including allocated facility occupancy and information technology costs, contract services, and other outside costs. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

Concentration of Risks

Financial instruments, which potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk, consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, and accounts receivable. We limit our exposure to credit loss by placing cash and investments with high credit quality financial institutions. Additionally, we have established guidelines regarding diversification of investments and their maturities, which are designed to maintain principal and maximize liquidity.

Concentration of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable related to product sales is limited due to our large and diverse customer base, which is dispersed over different geographic areas. Allowances are maintained for potential credit losses and such losses have historically been within our expectations.

We grant credit generally on an unsecured basis to our customers throughout North America, Europe, and Asia, except to customers in China which are granted credit on a secured basis until a collection history is established. To reduce credit risk, certain sales are secured by letters of credit from commercial banks.

We are dependent on our suppliers and contract manufacturers to provide raw materials and devices of appropriate quality and reliability and to meet applicable regulatory requirements. In certain cases we rely on single sources of supply. Consequently, in the event that supplies are delayed or interrupted for any reason, our ability to develop and produce our products and services could be impaired, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Fair Value Measurements

Our financial instruments consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, short-term marketable securities, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, long term debt and Convertible Senior Notes.

The carrying amounts of financial instruments such as cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate the related fair values due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. Marketable securities consist of available-for-sale securities that are reported at fair value.

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Accounting guidance also establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1-Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2-Includes other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.

Level 3-Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activities, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.

We value our cash equivalents and marketable securities using quoted market prices or alternative pricing sources and models utilizing observable market inputs and, as such, classify our cash equivalents and marketable securities within Level 1 or Level 2. As of December 31, 2012, we had no assets or liabilities measured at fair value within the Level 3 hierarchy.

Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Marketable Securities

Cash equivalents consist of short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase.

***Confidential Treatment Requested

Accounts Receivable

We invoice our Sequenom Bioscience product sales and services as orders are shipped and/or services provided and any other contractual obligations are met. Our contracts typically require payment within 30 to 60 days of the date of invoice. We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. We specifically analyze accounts receivable and historical bad debts, customer credit, current economic trends, and changes in customer payment trends when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts. Account balances are charged-off against the allowance when it is probable the receivable will not be recovered.

We cannot guarantee that we will continue to experience the same credit loss rates that we have in the past. Measurement of such losses requires consideration of historical loss experience, including the need to adjust for current conditions, and judgments about the probable effects of relevant observable data, including present economic conditions such as delinquency rates and financial health of specific customers. We consider all available information in our assessments of the adequacy of the reserves for uncollectible accounts. If the historical data used to calculate the allowance provided for doubtful accounts does not reflect our future ability to collect outstanding receivables or if the financial condition of customers were to deteriorate, resulting in impairment of their ability to make payments, an increase in the provision for doubtful accounts may be required.

Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market value (net realizable value). We estimate the recoverability of our inventory by reference to our internal estimates of future demands and product life cycles, including expiration.

Warranty Cost and Reserves

We provide a warranty provision related to the sales of our MassARRAY systems based on our historical experience of repairs required under the warranty period. We generally provide a one-year warranty on our MassARRAY system and related equipment. We establish an accrual for estimated warranty expenses associated with system sales based on historical amounts, which is recorded as a component of cost of product revenue.

Property, Equipment and Leasehold Improvements

Equipment is stated at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets (generally 3 to 5 years). Leasehold improvements are stated at cost and amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the improvement or the remaining term of the lease, whichever is shorter. The maximum estimated useful life of any leasehold improvement is 15 years from the completion of the improvement. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. When assets are sold, or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in operating expense.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives are not amortized, but are subject to annual impairment tests. The amounts and useful lives assigned to intangible assets that have finite useful lives, which consist of purchased patent rights and license and lab accreditation costs, requires the use of estimates and the exercise of judgment. These intangible assets are being amortized over the expected economic use of the asset. Intangible assets with finite lives are not material and are included in non-current other assets on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Valuation of Long-Lived and Intangible Assets

We periodically re-evaluate the original assumptions and rationale utilized in the establishment of the carrying value and estimated lives of our long-lived assets and finite-lived intangible assets. We also review long-lived assets and finite-lived intangibles for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. We annually evaluate our indefinite-lived intangible assets during the fourth quarter each fiscal year, or more frequently if we believe indicators of impairment are present. If an asset is considered to be impaired, the impairment recognized is the amount by which the carrying value of the asset exceeds its fair value.

Stock-based Compensation

***Confidential Treatment Requested

We measure and recognize compensation expense for all stock-based payments made to employees, directors, and consultants based on estimated fair value, net of an estimated forfeiture rate. These stock-based awards include stock options, restricted stock and restricted stock units, and stock purchase rights under our employee stock purchase plan. We estimate the fair value of stock options granted and stock purchase rights using the Black-Scholes-Merton, or BSM, option-pricing model, which requires the use of estimates such as stock price volatility and expected option lives, as well as expected option forfeiture rates, to value employee stock-based compensation at the date of grant. The fair value of our restricted stock awards and units is based on the market price of our common stock on the date of grant.

We recognize stock-based compensation cost on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award or, in the case of performance-based awards, over the period from the date that the performance milestone achievement is reasonably assured to the estimated achievement date. Stock-based compensation expense is recognized only for those awards that are ultimately expected to vest. We estimate forfeitures at the time of grant and revise the estimate, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. Changes in forfeiture estimates impact compensation cost in the period in which the change in estimate occurs.

Due to our net loss position, no tax benefits for stock-based compensation have been recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. We have not recognized, and do not expect to recognize in the near future, any tax benefit related to stock-based compensation cost as a result of the full valuation allowance of our net deferred tax assets and our net operating loss carryforwards.

The fair value of options granted to non-employees is estimated at the measurement date using the BSM pricing model and remeasured at each reporting date to fair value, with changes in fair value recognized as expense in the statement of operations and comprehensive loss.

Restructuring Costs

Restructuring costs are comprised of estimated employee termination costs based on executed agreements. Restructuring charges are recorded upon approval of a formal management plan and are included in the operating results of the period in which the plan is approved and the expense becomes estimable. To estimate restructuring costs, management utilizes assumptions regarding the number and related costs that would be incurred relative to involuntarily terminated employees. Estimated restructuring expenses may change as management executes the approved plan.

Income Taxes

Our provision for income taxes is computed using the asset and liability method, under which deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, and for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax loss and credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined using the enacted tax rates in effect for the years in which those tax assets are expected to be realized. A valuation allowance is established when it is more likely than not the future realization of all or some of the deferred tax assets will not be achieved. The evaluation of the need for a valuation allowance is performed on a jurisdiction by jurisdiction basis, and includes a review of all available positive and negative evidence. When we establish or reduce the valuation allowance against deferred tax assets, our provision for income taxes will increase or decrease, respectively, in the period such determination is made. As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, we maintained a valuation allowance against U.S. and foreign deferred tax assets that we concluded had not met the “more likely than not” threshold. Changes in the valuation allowance when they are recognized in the provision for income taxes are included as a component of the estimated annual effective tax rate.

We recognize excess tax benefits associated with stock-based compensation to stockholders' equity only when realized. When assessing whether excess tax benefits relating to stock-based compensation have been realized, we follow the with-and-without approach, excluding any indirect effects of the excess tax deductions. Under this approach, excess tax benefits related to stock-based compensation are not deemed to be realized until after the utilization of all other tax benefits available to us.

We recognize the impact of a tax position in our financial statements only if we believe that position is more likely than not of being sustained upon examination by taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. Any interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions will be reflected in income tax expense.

Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions

***Confidential Treatment Requested

The financial statements of our subsidiaries in Germany, United Kingdom (dissolved as of December 31, 2012), and Japan are measured using the Euro, British Pound, and Japanese Yen, respectively, as the functional currency. Assets and liabilities of these subsidiaries are translated at the rates of exchange in effect at the respective balance sheet dates. Income and expense items are translated at the average monthly rate of exchange during the reporting period. Net unrealized gains or losses resulting from the translation of foreign financial statements are reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the respective functional currencies are initially recorded using the foreign currency exchange rates at the time such transactions arise. The value of these receivables and payables is subject to changes in currency exchange rates from the point at which the transactions are originated until the settlement in cash. Subsequent remeasurement at each balance sheet date is recognized as transaction gains and losses in income as unrealized or realized upon settlement of the transaction. Foreign currency transaction gains or losses were not significant for the periods presented.

If any audit identifies an underpayment by Licensee, Licensee shall promptly pay the underpayment to University including interest as provided for in Section 4.03. If any audit identifies an overpayment by Licensee, Licensee shall deduct such overpayment from the next payments due University until such overpayment has been recovered by Licensee. If any audit leads to the discovery of an underpayment in respect of any calendar quarter of more than five percent (5%) between amounts due in respect of such quarter and amounts reported to be due by Licensee in its quarterly report for such quarter or otherwise reveals a previously undisclosed material breach of this Agreement, Licensee shall, within thirty (30) days after written notice from the University, reimburse the University for all of its costs related to the audit.

6. This Agreement, and all rights and obligations of the parties hereunder, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without giving effect to its principles of conflict of laws. In the event of any dispute arising between the parties in connection with this Agreement, the construction thereof, or the rights, duties or liabilities of either Party, representatives designated by each party shall meet at a place to be agreed or confer by conference call within one week of a request by either party and attempt to amicably resolve the dispute. If the dispute is not resolved by such efforts within 30 days, the parties shall refer the matter to non-binding mediation in Boston, the costs of which will be shared equally. In the event that such dispute is not amicably resolved by such non-binding mediation, then the parties may, at their option, agree to arbitrate or unilaterally employ civil litigation or any other dispute resolution mechanism available to them. Unless otherwise agreed by the parties, the sole and exclusive jurisdiction for resolution of any disputes relating to, arising from or otherwise connected to this Agreement shall lie in the state and federal courts located in Suffolk County, Massachusetts, and each of the parties hereby submits to the jurisdiction of such courts.

12. This Agreement is binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto, their successors or assigns, but this Agreement may not be assigned by either party without the prior written consent of the other party,

13. Licenses issued under this Agreement do not confer by implication, estoppel or otherwise any license or rights under any patent of either party to this Agreement other than the INVENTION as defined herein, regardless of whether such patent rights are dominant or subordinate to such patent rights in the INVENTION.

***Confidential Treatment Requested

14. The terms and conditions of any and all exhibits, schedules and attachments to this Agreement are incorporated herein and shall constitute part of this Agreement as if fully set forth herein.

5.	Manufacturing License With Respect to Key Products

5.1 Limited Manufacturing License. In the event that, during the Term, (a) Supplier fails to deliver […***…]% of the dollar value of accepted purchase orders from Sequenom for a Key Product in each of three consecutive quarters, or (b) Supplier discontinues or otherwise ceases to manufacture a Key Product, Supplier hereby grants to Sequenom a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, fully-paid, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, license for the remainder of the Term under the Supplier Product Technology solely to make and have made (itself or through an Affiliate or contract manufacturer) such Key Products. Supplier shall only be required to grant such manufacturing license as set forth in the prior sentence provided (i) Supplier is not able or willing to sell to Sequenom a mutually reasonably agreed substitute product; and (ii) in the case of Section 5.1(b) Sequenom further reasonably demonstrates to Supplier that its rights to purchase EOL Products under Section 2.3 are not adequate to meet Sequenom’s needs for such Key Products; and (iii) in the case of Section 5.1(a) the failure of Supplier to meet the specified […***…]% level

***Confidential Treatment Requested

is due to an event or occurrence within the reasonable control of Supplier. Sequenom’s rights under this Section 5.1 shall run with title to the Supplier Product Technology and shall bind the successor or assignee of any interest in any of the Supplier Product Technology during the Term. The parties acknowledge that this Section 5.1 shall not be deemed to expand or otherwise amend the licenses granted to Sequenom with respect to Key Products under that certain License Agreement of even date herewith between Supplier and Sequenom. The parties also acknowledge that nothing in this Section 5.1, or in any other provision in this Agreement, amends, revises, limits or expands Sequenom’s non-competition obligations to Supplier under that certain Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation Agreement of even date herewith between Supplier and Sequenom.

5.2 Technology Transfer. Upon the written request of Sequenom at any time during the Term, the parties shall work together to agree to a plan for transitioning the manufacture of any Key Products to Sequenom or its designated Third Party contract manufacturer, which plan would only be shared with any Third Party contract manufacturer and implemented in the event that the limited manufacturing license in Section 5.1 is granted. Beginning promptly after the occurrence of any such event (or, if Supplier anticipates that such event is reasonably likely to occur within the next three (3) months and is not legally or contractually prohibited from notifying Sequenom of such anticipated occurrence, reasonably in advance of such occurrence), the parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to implement such plan within 60 days after Sequenom’s request.

5.3 Ownership. As between the parties, Supplier shall at all times be and remain the sole and exclusive owner of the Supplier Product Technology, subject to the licenses expressly granted to Sequenom hereunder. Supplier shall have the sole right to control the filing, prosecution, maintenance and enforcement of the Supplier Product Patents, at Supplier’s sole expense.

5.4 Termination of the Limited License Set forth in Section 5.1. At the conclusion of the Term, all rights granted to Sequenom in the Supplier Product Technology pursuant to Section 5.1 shall terminate, and Sequenom shall promptly return to Supplier any materials relating to the technology transfer referenced in Section 5.2.


6.	Payment

6.1 Payment for Supplier Products. The purchase price of Supplier Products ordered by Sequenom pursuant to this Agreement shall be equal to the price set forth for such Supplier Product in Exhibit A (“Purchase Price”) until the earlier of […***…] from the Effective Date of this Agreement or the date on which Sequenom and its Affiliates, collectively, have placed cumulative orders for $[…***…] of Supplier Products at the Purchase Price (such date the “Price Adjustment Date”). The parties shall negotiate in good faith regarding an adjustment to the prices of Supplier Products during the remainder of the Term that shall apply to purchases under this Agreement beginning on the Price Adjustment Date; provided that, for clarity, if the parties do not agree on such adjusted prices, the Purchase Prices for those Supplier Products where no adjusted prices have been mutually agreed shall then […***…]. Also, for avoidance of doubt, failure of the parties to mutually agree on adjusted prices shall not in and of itself trigger any provisions in Section 2.3 or Article 5.

6.2 Additionally, at any time during the Term, and provided Sequenom has purchased from Supplier $[…***…] of Supplier Product consumables during the 12 month period prior to the date on which Sequenom seeks to exercise its rights under this Section 6.2, if Supplier 7 ***Confidential Treatment Requested

supplies any Comparably Situated Third Party Customer any Key Product […***…] for such Key Product, Supplier shall promptly inform Sequenom of […***…]. Supplier’s obligation to sell such Key Product to Sequenom […***…] shall remain in force during the Term only so long as Sequenom maintains purchase

Exhibit E

Transition Services Agreement

TRANSITION SERVICES AGREEMENT

This Transition Services Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made as of May 30, 2014 (the “Effective Date”), by and between Sequenom, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Seller”), and Biosciences Acquisition Company, a Delaware corporation (“Purchaser”). Sequenom and Purchaser may each be referred to as a “Party” and together as the “Parties.” Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the same meanings as those ascribed to them in the Purchase Agreement (as defined below).

Recitals

Whereas, concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Parties are entering into a Stock and Asset Purchase Agreement (as the same may be amended from time to time, the “Purchase

***Confidential Treatment Requested

Agreement”) providing for Seller’s sale to Purchaser, and Purchaser’s purchase from Seller, of the Transferred Assets; and

Whereas, the Parties wish for Seller to provide certain services during a limited transitional period in order to facilitate the orderly transfer of assets from Seller to Purchaser with minimal disruption to the Business; and

Whereas, the provision of these services during the transitional period is an integral part of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement and represents a substantial portion of the consideration to be received by Purchaser under the Purchase Agreement.

Now, Therefore, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:

Agreement


1.	Services

1.1 Provision of Services By Seller. During the term of this Agreement, Seller will provide or cause to be provided certain agreed upon services in support of the Business, consisting of those services set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto and any additional services set forth in any Statement of Work entered into in accordance with Section 1.6 hereof (the “Seller Services”). The Parties contemplate that Seller will perform the Seller Services using Seller personnel and Seller will have no obligation to engage any third party or hire any Person in order to provide the Seller Services. Seller will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide the Seller Services with the same quantity and at least the same level of skill, quality, care, timeliness, and cost-effectiveness as such services, functions, and tasks were performed prior to the date of execution of the Purchase Agreement (“Standard of Service”). In addition, Seller shall not make any material changes to the quality systems or product specifications relevant to the Seller Services, as in effect as of immediately prior to the Effective Date, without the prior written consent of Purchaser.

1.2 Third Party Arrangements. During the term of this Agreement, Seller will arrange for Third Parties to provide or cause to be provided, to and through Seller for the benefit of Purchaser, certain agreed upon Third Party services in support of the Business, consisting of those services set forth in Exhibit B attached hereto (the “Third Party Services”). (The Seller Services and Third Party Services are collectively referred to herein as the “Services”.) Seller will use commercially reasonable efforts to assure that the Third Party Services are provided in a manner that satisfies the Standard of Service.

1.3 Availability. For all Seller employees and consultants engaged in providing Seller Services, if Seller determines that any such employee or consultant is not needed to support Seller’s retained business, then Seller may, in its sole discretion, elect to terminate the employment or consulting relationship of such individual, as applicable; provided that Seller makes the necessary arrangements to assure that notwithstanding any such termination, the Seller Services can still be provided in a manner that satisfies the Standard of Service. During the Services Term (as defined below) and the one year period following the termination thereof, Purchaser shall not, and shall cause its directors, officers, employees, agents, representatives, and subsidiaries not to, directly or indirectly through another Person, (i) induce or attempt to induce any employee of Seller to leave the employ of Seller, or in any way interfere with the relationship between Seller, on the one hand, and any employee thereof, on the other hand, (provided that the placement of general advertisements of employment shall not be deemed to be a breach of this Section 1.3), (ii) hire any Person who was an employee of Seller until one year after such individual’s employment relationship with Seller has been terminated, (provided that any such hiring pursuant to a general advertisement of employment shall not be deemed to be a breach of this Section 1.3), or (iii) induce or attempt to induce any

***Confidential Treatment Requested

customer, supplier, licensee or other business relation of Seller to cease doing business with Seller, or in any way interfere with the relationship between any such customer, supplier, licensee or business relation, on the one hand, and Seller, on the other hand.

1.4 Transition Assistance. Seller will provide to Purchaser consultation, assistance, and information as reasonably requested by Purchaser in order to effect a smooth transition of the Business to Purchaser.

1.5 Changes in Services. Purchaser will have the right, upon written notice to Seller, to request reasonable changes and/or modifications in the manner the Services are performed. Seller will use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly implement such reasonable changes and/or modifications, provided that if i) such changes and/or modifications would impose increased costs on Seller and ii) such changes and/or modifications are not required to ensure that the Services are performed in strict accordance with applicable Laws, then Seller shall only be obligated to implement such changes and/or modifications if Purchaser agrees in writing to reimburse Seller for such increased costs.

1.6 Additional Services. Seller and Purchaser may agree to additional Services pursuant to this Agreement by entering into statements of work (the “Statements of Work”) from time to time during the term of this Agreement, each of which will, at a minimum, include the following:

(a) A reference to this Agreement, which reference will be deemed to incorporate all applicable provisions of this Agreement;

(b) A description of the Services to be provided to Purchaser pursuant to such Statement of Work, including, but not limited to, the location at which the applicable Services are to be provided, and all deliverables to be provided as part of the applicable Services pursuant to that Statement of Work; and

(c) Any additional provisions applicable to the Services provided under such Statement of Work that are not otherwise set forth in this Agreement or that are exceptions to the provisions set forth in this Agreement.

A form of Statement of Work is attached hereto as Exhibit C. No Statement of Work will become effective until it has been executed by both Seller and Purchaser.

For the avoidance of doubt, Seller shall have no obligation to provide or arrange for, or agree to provide or arrange for, any additional Services; provided, however, Seller agrees to review all requests for additional Services from Purchaser in good faith and, assuming the Parties can mutually agree on the terms of any such additional Services including compensation terms, will use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with Purchaser with respect to any such additional Services.

1.7 Good Faith Cooperation. The Parties will use good faith efforts to cooperate with each other in all matters relating to the provision and receipt of Services. The Parties will cooperate with each other in making information available as needed in the event of a tax audit related to the Services, whether in the United States or any other country.

1.8 Certain Limitations.

(a) Impracticability. Seller shall not be required to provide or cause to be provided any Service to the extent the performance of such Service is made impossible or impracticable due to any act or omission of Purchaser or any of its subsidiaries. In addition, Seller shall not be obligated to provide or cause to be provided any Services to Purchaser (i) to the extent that providing such Services materially compromises

***Confidential Treatment Requested

or would reasonably be expected to materially compromise (as determined by Seller in good faith) any confidential or proprietary information of Seller, or (ii) to the extent that providing such Services breaches or would reasonably be expected to result in a breach (as determined by Seller in good faith) of Seller’s contractual commitments that are in existence as of the Effective Date. Seller represents that it is not aware of any contractual commitments of Seller which would be violated by the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the performance of its obligations hereunder. In addition, the obligations of Seller to provide Services hereunder shall be suspended during the period and to the extent that Seller is prevented from complying therewith by any Law or by any cause beyond the reasonable control of Seller, including acts of God, strikes, lock outs and other labor disputes and disturbances, civil disturbances, accidents, terrorism, acts of war or conditions arising out of or attributable to war (whether declared or undeclared), shortage of necessary equipment, materials or labor, or restrictions thereon or limitations upon the use thereof, and delays in transportation. In the event of any such condition of impossibility or impracticability contemplated by this Section 1.8(a), Seller shall promptly provide written notice to Purchaser of such impossibility or impracticability, and use commercially reasonable efforts to avoid or remove the cause of such impossibility or impracticability. Seller shall resume the performance of such obligations as soon as reasonably practicable after the removal of the cause and Seller4

***Confidential Treatment Requested

shall so notify Purchaser.

(b) Additional Resources. In providing and arranging the Services, Seller shall not be obligated to: (i) maintain the employment or consulting relationship of any specific employee or consultant; (ii) purchase, lease or license any additional equipment or software to the extent the costs associated therewith are not reimbursed by Purchaser to Seller or incur any other out-of pocket costs; (iii) pay any costs related to the transfer of the Business pursuant to Purchaser’s acquisition of the Business under the Purchase Agreement, except as otherwise expressly set forth in the Purchase Agreement, this Agreement, or any related ancillary agreement; or (iv) pay any costs related to securing any alternate supplier of Services to the extent the costs associated therewith are not reimbursed by Purchaser to Seller.


2.	Compensation

2.1 Charges for Seller Services. Seller is entering into this Agreement in partial consideration of the payment of the Purchase Price under the Purchase Agreement, and, accordingly, Seller (i) will not charge Purchaser a fee in respect of the Seller Services, and (ii) except as specifically stated to the contrary elsewhere in this Section 2, will provide the Seller Services at no cost to Purchaser. If, in connection with the performance of the Seller Services hereunder, Seller reasonably, necessarily and actually incurs out-of-pocket costs and expenses to third parties in respect of the Seller Services (“Seller Costs”), Purchaser shall reimburse Seller for such Seller Costs, subject to Purchaser being provided with appropriate and reasonably detailed documentation for such Seller Costs, unless Seller would have incurred such Seller Costs after the Effective Date even in the absence of this Agreement.

2.2 Charges for Third Party Services. Seller will charge Purchaser, and Purchaser shall reimburse Seller, for Third Party Services at Seller’s actual cost, unless Seller would have unavoidably incurred such Third Party Services after the Effective Date even in the absence of this Agreement (“Third Party Charges”). Seller shall provide Purchaser with appropriate and reasonably detailed documentation for the Third Party Charges.

2.3 Allocation of Seller Costs and Third Party Charges.

(a) If and to the extent that Seller Costs and Third Party Charges are incurred and invoiced to Seller on a consolidated basis for the Business and for Seller’s other business, where such services can be

***Confidential Treatment Requested

reasonably related to a specific employee or can be reasonably pro-rated based on the number of Business employees compared to the number of Seller’s employees, then such Seller Costs and Third Party Charges shall be allocated to and paid by Purchaser for Business employees. Where such Seller Costs and Third Party Charges cannot reasonably be allocated in accordance with the preceding sentence then […***…] of such costs shall be allocated to and paid by Purchaser for the Business.

(b) If and to the extent that Seller has pre-paid Costs and Third Party Charges prior to the Effective Date for costs and services to be provided in part after the Effective Date, then Seller shall pro-rate such Costs and Third Party Charges and Purchaser shall reimburse Seller for the pro-rated portion of such Costs and Third Party Charges provided after the Effective Date, on a monthly basis in accordance with Section 2.4.8

5 ***Confidential Treatment Requested

2.4 Invoicing and Payment. Seller will invoice Purchaser monthly at the end of each month for the amount of any Seller Costs and Third Party Charges incurred by Seller in connection with the Services for that month. Each such invoice will be accompanied by appropriate and reasonably detailed receipts or similar documentation for such Seller Costs. Amounts payable under each invoice will be due within 10 days after Purchaser’s receipt of the invoice.

2.5 Records. Each Party will maintain complete and accurate records relating to the Services performed under this Agreement and records of all costs billable to and payments made by Purchaser made under this Agreement. Each Party will maintain such records for at least one year after termination or expiration of this Agreement and will make all such records available to the other Party or its designee during normal business hours upon reasonable request.


3.	Confidentiality

3.1 Seller Information.

(a) Seller Information Defined. The Parties acknowledge that, in the course of performing the Services, Purchaser and Purchaser personnel may receive, observe, and otherwise have access to confidential and proprietary information of Seller (whether in tangible or electronic form or otherwise), including, without limitation, information related to Seller or its products, product candidates, tools, technology, processes, business plans, and customers (the “Seller Information”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller Information does not include information that: (i) is in the public domain, through no fault of Purchaser; (ii) was known to Purchaser prior to being disclosed by Seller to Purchaser; (iii) is disclosed to Purchaser by a third party who is entitled to so disclose the information; or (iv) is developed by Purchaser employees without reference or access to Seller Information.

(i) Purchaser will not use, reproduce, or exploit Seller Information for any purpose other than receiving the Services and exercising its rights as contemplated under this Agreement;

(ii) Purchaser will hold all Seller Information in strict confidence and will not disclose or otherwise make available Seller Information to any third party, and Purchaser will restrict access to Seller Information to those of its employees who have a need to know such information in order to receive the Services or exercise Purchaser’s rights hereunder;

(iii) Purchaser will take all reasonable and necessary steps to protect the Seller Information from inadvertent or unintentional disclosure to third parties and will protect the Seller Information

***Confidential Treatment Requested

from unauthorized access, disclosure, or use with at least the same degree of care as Purchaser uses to protect its own trade secret information of equivalent importance, and in any event no less than commercially reasonable care;

(iv) Purchaser will reproduce, on all copies of documents and materials containing Seller Information made by Purchaser or its employees, agents, or consultants, all proprietary rights notices of Seller appearing on the original copy of such document or material; and

(v) Purchaser will, at Seller’s request, promptly return to Seller or destroy all documents and materials in tangible form, and permanently erase all data in electronic form, containing any Seller Information, and certify in a writing signed by an executive officer of Purchaser that Purchaser has fully complied with this obligation.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 3.1 shall obligate Purchaser to return to Seller or destroy any documents and materials in tangible form or erase data in electronic form, containing any Seller Information which Purchaser reasonably needs in connection with its operation of the Business or the Transferred Assets.

Purchaser will ensure that each employee, agent, and consultant who will receive disclosure of Seller Information has signed Purchaser’s standard form of employee or consultant (as appropriate) nondisclosure agreement. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that Purchaser has no right, title, or interest of any nature in any Seller Information, other than a limited, non-transferable, non-sublicenseable, non-exclusive license during the term of the Agreement to use and reproduce Seller Information solely to the extent necessary to receive the Services and exercise its rights as contemplated under this Agreement.

3.2 Information.

(a) Purchaser Information Defined. The Parties acknowledge that, in the course of providing the Services, Seller and the employees and agents of Seller will receive, observe, and otherwise have access to confidential and proprietary information (whether in tangible or electronic form or otherwise), including, without limitation, information related to Purchaser, its Affiliates, and their respective products, tools, technology, processes, business plans, and customers (the “Purchaser Information”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser Information does not include information that: (i) is in the public domain, through no fault of Seller; (ii) is disclosed to Seller after the Effective Date by a third party who is entitled to so disclose the information; or (iii) is developed by Seller employees without reference or access to Purchaser Information.

(b) Confidentiality Obligations. Seller agrees that:

(i) Seller will not use, reproduce, or exploit Purchaser Information for any purpose other than providing Services as contemplated under this Agreement;

(ii) Seller will hold all Purchaser Information in strict confidence and will not disclose or otherwise make available Purchaser Information to any third party, and Seller will restrict access to Purchaser Information to those of its employees who have a need to know such information in order to provide the Services;

(iii) Seller will take all reasonable and necessary steps to protect Purchaser Information from inadvertent or unintentional disclosure to third parties and will protect Purchaser Information from unauthorized access, disclosure, or use with at least the same degree of care as Seller uses

***Confidential Treatment Requested

to protect its own trade secret information of equivalent importance, and in any event no less than commercially reasonable care;

(iv) Seller will reproduce, on all copies of documents and materials containing Purchaser Information made by Seller or its employees, agents, or consultants, all proprietary rights notices of Purchaser appearing on the original copy of such document or material; and

(v) Seller will, at Purchaser’s request, promptly return to Purchaser or destroy all documents and materials in tangible form, and permanently erase all data in electronic form, containing any Purchaser Information, and certify in a writing signed by an executive officer of Seller that Seller has fully complied with this obligation.

Seller will ensure that each employee, agent, and consultant of Seller who provides Services or will otherwise receive disclosure of Purchaser Information has signed Seller’s standard form of employee or consultant (as appropriate) nondisclosure agreement. Seller acknowledges and agrees that Seller has no right, title, or interest of any nature in any Purchaser Information, other than a limited, non-transferable, non-sublicenseable, non-exclusive license during the term of the Agreement to use and reproduce Purchaser Information solely to the extent necessary to provide the Services as contemplated under this Agreement.

3.3 Injunctive Relief. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that the other Party would suffer irreparable harm for which monetary damages would be an inadequate remedy if there were a breach by such Party of obligations under this Section 3. Each Party further acknowledges and agrees that equitable relief, including injunctive relief, would be appropriate to protect the non-breaching Party’s rights and interests if such a breach were to arise, be threatened, or be asserted, and the non-breaching Party will be entitled to the entry of an order for immediate injunctive relief.


4.	Indemnification; Limitation of Liability

4.1 Indemnification. Purchaser shall indemnify and hold harmless Seller in respect of all losses and damages actually suffered or incurred by Seller in connection with the performance of Services under this Agreement or Purchaser’s or its Affiliates’ use of such Services, except to the extent such losses and damages arise from a fraud perpetrated by or the gross negligence of Seller. Further, Purchaser shall not be liable to or be required to indemnify Seller with respect to any expenses, losses or damages incurred by Seller by virtue of either (i) any “welfare benefit plan” (within the meaning of Section 3(a) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”)) sponsored by Sellers being treated as a “multiple employer welfare arrangement” (within the meaning of Section 3(40) of ERISA) or (ii) any “pension plan” (within the meaning of Section 3(2) of ERISA) sponsored by Sellers being treated as a multiple employer plan.

4.2 Disclaim of Warranties. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THIS AGREEMENT, SELLER HEREBY EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, WITH RESPECT TO THE SERVICES AND ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF PERFORMANCE, COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THIS AGREEMENT, SELLER MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES AS TO THE QUALITY, SUITABILITY OR ADEQUACY OF THE SERVICES FOR ANY PURPOSE OR USE.

4.3 Limitation of Liability. Purchaser acknowledges that Seller is not in the business of providing Services in the manner contemplated by this Agreement and that the Services are being provided pursuant

***Confidential Treatment Requested

to this Agreement as an accommodation to Purchaser to assist in the transition of the Business to Purchaser. Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedy for any breach by Seller in providing the Services and for any losses or damages actually incurred or suffered by Purchaser with respect thereto shall be the performance (or re-performance) of the Services by Seller at Seller’s expense, subject in all cases to Sections 1.8 and 5.3 of this Agreement. In no event shall Seller or any of its agents have any liability for any incidental, indirect, special or consequential damages, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT SUCH damages ARE caused by or result from willful misconduct OR fraud OF SELLER.

5. Term and Termination

5.1 Term. This Agreement will commence on the Effective Date and will remain in effect through December 31, 2014 (the “Services Term”) unless this Agreement is earlier terminated pursuant to Section 5.3 below, provided, however, that during the Services Term Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to establish its own internal capabilities for each of the Services or obtain directly substitute services for each of the Services and the Parties shall thereupon agree on an earlier expiration date for such specific Service. The Services Term may be extended by written agreement executed by both Parties either in whole or with respect to one or more of the Services; provided, however, that such extension shall only apply to the Services for which the Agreement is extended. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that any Statement of Work entered into during the Services Term (including any extension thereof) provides for a performance period that extends beyond the Services Term, then the Services Term shall be automatically extended, and this Agreement shall remain effective, for the duration of the performance period under such Statement of Work, provided, however, that such extension shall only apply to the Services being performed under such Statement of Work.

5.2 Termination for Convenience. In the event the Services Term for one or more Services is extended pursuant to Section 5.1 above (whether as a result of the express written agreement of the Parties to extend one or more Services or as a result of the performance period set forth in one or more Statements of Work extending beyond the initial Services Term), Purchaser may terminate this Agreement with respect to one or more of such Services, with or without cause at any time by providing Seller with 30 days’ prior written notice.

5.3 Termination for Breach.

receipt of the notice, and (d) such breach is continuing at the time that the non-breaching Party delivers its notice of termination.

5.4 Survival. Sections 2.5, 3, 4, 5.4 and 6 of this Agreement will survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement.


6.	General

6.1 Further Assurances. Each Party agrees to take such actions and execute such documents as are reasonably requested by the other Party (including providing executed documents in such recordable form as is deemed required or necessary by the other Party) to effect the purposes of this Agreement.

6.2 Continued Performance. Subject to Section 1.8 hereof, each Party agrees to continue performing its obligations under this Agreement while any dispute is being resolved unless and until this Agreement expires or is terminated.

6.3 Relationship of the Parties. Each Party will be deemed to be an independent contractor and not an agent, joint venturer, or representative of the other Party. Neither Party may create any obligations or responsibilities on behalf of or in the name of the other Party. Neither Party will hold itself out to be a partner, employee, franchisee, representative, servant, or agent of the other Party.

No waiver will be effective unless it is in writing and signed by an authorized representative of the waiving Party. No waiver given will be applicable except in the specific instance for which it was given.

6.9 Assignment.

RECITALS

WHEREAS, Seller has agreed, pursuant to the Stock and Asset Purchase Agreement dated as of May 30, 2014 (the “Purchase Agreement”), to sell the Business, as defined therein, to Buyer,

***Confidential Treatment Requested

and, in connection therewith, Buyer has agreed, among other provisions, to grant to Seller a non-exclusive license to certain intellectual property pursuant to the License Agreement dated as of May 30, 2014 (the “License Agreement”). Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning set forth in the Purchase Agreement; and

WHEREAS, the Purchase Agreement requires, as a condition to Buyer’s obligation to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, that Seller executes and delivers this Agreement, and the execution and delivery of this Agreement is a material inducement for Buyer to enter into the Purchase Agreement and consummate the transactions contemplated thereby.

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged:

1. Noncompetition and Nonsolicitation.

(a) In the case of clause (i) below, for a period expiring five (5) years following the Closing, and, in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) below, for a period expiring three (3) years following the Closing, Seller shall not directly or indirectly:

(i) provide in any capacity any Mass Spec Services or Products, or own, manage, operate, or control any business that provides any Mass Spec Services or Products, or otherwise participate in or with any such business with respect to Mass Spec Services or Products. For purposes of this Agreement, “Mass Spec Services or Products” shall mean any mass spectrometry based services or products of the type developed, provided, distributed or produced by the Business at any time during the past five (5) years, including, without limitation, mass spectrometry instrument systems and software and associated reagents, ancillaries and consumables. The geographic scope of this Section 1 shall be worldwide; provided, however, that this Agreement will not preclude Seller or its Affiliates from manufacturing, performing, using, offering to sell, selling and/or importing laboratory developed tests solely for use in and within the operation of Seller’s Laboratories Business (as defined in the License Agreement), including the use of mass spectrometry products in connection with the research, development and commercialization of laboratory developed tests, so long as there is no transfer of any physical products to third parties in association with such permitted research;

(ii) hire, offer to hire, or persuade or seek to persuade any officer or employee of Buyer or its Affiliates working in connection with the Business after the Closing to terminate his or her employment with Buyer or an Affiliate (provided that, for purposes of this Agreement, the placement of general advertisements of employment, and any offer to hire and employment resulting directly therefrom, shall not be deemed to be a breach of this Section 1(a)(ii)); or

(iii) knowingly solicit, divert, attempt to divert, persuade or attempt to persuade any supplier or customer of the Business to discontinue, terminate or alter such entity’s supply or customer arrangements or relationship, as the case may be, with the Business.

(b) Buyer and Seller agree that the provisions of this Section 1 do not impose an undue hardship on Seller and are not injurious to the public; that this provision is necessary to protect the Business; that Buyer would not enter into the Purchase Agreement and consummate the transactions contemplated therein if Seller did not agree to the provisions of this Section 1; that

***Confidential Treatment Requested

the scope of this Section 1 is reasonable in terms of length of time and geographical scope; and that adequate consideration supports this Section 1. In the event that a court determines that the geographical scope of this provision in unreasonably broad or the length of time is unreasonably long, Seller agrees that such court should narrow such provision to the extent necessary to make it reasonable and enforce the provision as narrowed.

2. Miscellaneous.

(a) Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the Purchase Agreement and any documents, agreements and instruments executed and delivered pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, including the Ancillary License Agreements and Supply Agreement as executed by the parties concurrently herewith and as referenced in the Purchase Agreement, contains the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and supersedes all prior arrangements, understandings, proposals, prospectuses, projections and related materials with respect thereto.

(b) Descriptive Headings; Definitions. The descriptive headings of this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not control or affect the meaning or construction of any provision of this Agreement. As used in this Agreement, the term “Person” means an individual, corporation, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, trust or unincorporated organization or association or other form of business enterprise and the term “Affiliate” means, with respect to any Person, any Person directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by, or under common control with such other Person.

(c) Notices. All notices or other communications which are required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be sufficiently given if (a) delivered personally or (b) sent by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, or (c) sent by overnight courier with a nationally recognized courier, or (d) sent via facsimile confirmed in writing in any of the foregoing manners, as follows or as set forth on the signature page:

Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings provided in the Purchase Agreement (as defined below).

RECITALS

WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Escrow Agreement, the Parties are entering into a Stock and Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which Purchaser will acquire all of the Company’s assets, properties and rights used primarily in the conduct of the Business, including all of the Company’s equity interests in certain of its subsidiaries engaged in the Business;

Upon receipt of the Indemnification Demand, the Escrow Agent shall promptly make entries or notations in the account records relating to the Escrow Property, indicating that funds in the amount of the Asserted Damages Amount are reserved to satisfy such Indemnification Demand. In the event an Indemnification Demand is received by the Escrow Agent, then, notwithstanding Section 1.3(b) or (c), the Escrow Agent shall retain the Asserted Damages Amount (to the extent of the then available Escrow Property) until the earlier to occur of the Escrow Agent’s receipt of a joint written instruction or order by a court of competent jurisdiction that is final and non-appealable and directs delivery of all or a portion of the Escrow Property (such order, a “Final Order”).

(b) Prior to the date hereof, the Parties shall provide the Escrow Agent with certified tax identification numbers by furnishing appropriate form W-9 or W-8 and such other forms and documents that the Escrow Agent may request.
