(d) The Parties intend that for federal income tax purposes (i) the Capital Raise, the Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, the SeqLL Merger, and the Atlantic Asset Transfer will be treated as a series of steps constituting one integrated transaction in which the following is deemed to have occurred: (A) the transfer by Atlantic of the Atlantic Intangible Assets to SeqLL in exchange for SeqLL Common Stock, (B) the payment by SeqLL to Atlantic as compensation for services, an amount of SeqLL Common Stock equal to (u) the Atlantic Consideration, reduced by (v) the SeqLL Common Stock exchanged for the Atlantic Intangible Assets pursuant to the preceding clause (A), and (C) the transfer by IDC and Lyneer Management of 100% of the membership interests in the Company to SeqLL in exchange for SeqLL Common Stock and cash, and (ii) in the event that the value of the Atlantic Intangible Assets as of the Closing is at least 10% of (w) the value of Atlantic Consideration reduced by (x) the value of the SeqLL Common stock paid to Atlantic pursuant to clause (i)(A) of this Section 2.1(d), then (1) the Capital Raise, the Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, the SeqLL Merger, and the Atlantic Asset Transfer will be treated as transfers of property to SeqLL in a transaction that qualifies for nonrecognition treatment under Section 351 of the Code, and (2) the SeqLL Merger will also be governed by the provisions of Revenue Ruling 99-6, 1999-1 C.B. 432, and (iii) in the event that the value of the Atlantic Intangible Assets as of the Closing is less than 10% of (y) the value of Atlantic Consideration reduced by (z) the value of the SeqLL Common stock paid to Atlantic pursuant to clause (i)(A) of this Section 2.1(d), then (1) the Xxxxxx Xxxxxx and the SeqLL Merger will be treated as the taxable transfer by IDC and Lyneer Management of 100% of their interests in the Company to SeqLL in exchange for SeqLL Common Stock and cash, and (2) the Atlantic Asset Transfer will be treated as the taxable transfer by Atlantic of the Atlantic Intangible Assets to SeqLL in exchange for SeqLL Common Stock (collectively, the “Intended Tax Treatment”).

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Certificates of Merger, at the First Effective Time by virtue of the Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, or at the Second Effective Time, by virtue of the SeqLL Merger, as the case may be, and without any action on the part of the Parties or the holders of any of the following securities, the following shall occur:

(a) Treatment of Atlantic Merger Sub Membership Interests.

The Stock Consideration is based on 13,886,379 shares of SeqLL Common Stock currently outstanding and is subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 2.4 below.

2.4 Adjustment.

(a) If the price per share at which SeqLL Common Stock is sold in the Capital Raise (the “Offering Price”) is less than $.864 (subject to adjustment for stock dividends, stock consolidations and the like prior to the Closing Date), then the Parties hereby agree that:

(i) At the time SeqLL declares a cash dividend to the Legacy SeqLL Shareholders pursuant to Section 3.23, SeqLL shall simultaneously declare a stock dividend of SeqLL Common Stock in an aggregate amount of shares (subject to rounding any fractional shares up to the next whole share) so that the value of (A) the product of the number of outstanding shares of SeqLL and the Offering Price, plus (B) the product of the number of shares of SeqLL Common Stock issued in the stock dividend and the Offering Price, equals twelve million dollars ($12,000,000), and the aggregate number of shares of SeqLL Common Stock issuable as the Atlantic Consideration shall be proportionately reduced by the aggregate number of shares of SeqLL Common Stock issuable in such stock dividend; and

(ii) the number of shares of SeqLL Common Stock issuable to the Sellers pursuant to Section 2.3(b) shall be increased by a number of shares of SeqLL Common Stock so that the product of the aggregate number of shares issuable to the Sellers as Stock Consideration and the Offering Price equals sixty million dollars ($60,000,000), and the aggregate number of shares of SeqLL Common Stock issuable as the Atlantic Consideration shall be proportionately reduced by the aggregate number of additional shares of SeqLL Common Stock issuable to the Sellers pursuant to this Section 2.4(a)(ii).

(b) The Parties agree to undertake such actions as may be necessary to achieve and effectuate the adjustments contemplated under Section 2.4(a) above so as to ensure each of the relevant Parties hereto set forth in Section 2.4(a) receives the benefit of such adjustment. The Parties also agree that the Atlantic Consideration be reduced so as to ensure that the adjustment as contemplated under Section 2.4(a) will be effectuated as intended by the Parties hereto.

(c) If at any time during the period between the Agreement Date and the Second Effective Time, any change in the outstanding shares of capital stock of SeqLL shall occur as a result of any reclassification, recapitalization, reorganization, stock split (including a reverse stock split only to the extent such split has not been previously taken into account in determining the Stock Consideration) or combination, exchange or readjustment of shares, or any stock dividend or stock distribution is declared with a record date during such period, the Stock Consideration issuable hereunder shall be equitably adjusted to reflect such change to maintain the $60,000,000 of Stock Consideration and $12,000,000 for the stock dividend.

3.16 SeqLL Indemnification; Directors’ and Officers’ Insurance.

(a) Each Party agrees that (i) all rights to advancement, indemnification, limitations on liability or exculpation now existing in favor of the directors and officers of SeqLL, as provided in SeqLL’s Governing Documents in effect as of immediately prior to the Closing Date, solely with respect to any acts, errors or omissions occurring on or prior to the Closing Date, shall survive the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and shall continue in full force and effect from and after the Closing Date for a period of six (6) years and (ii) SeqLL will perform and discharge, or cause to be performed and discharged, all obligations to provide such advancement, indemnity, limitations on liability and exculpation during such six (6)-year period. During such six (6)-year period, SeqLL shall advance, or caused to be advanced, expenses in connection with such indemnification as provided in SeqLL’s Governing Documents or other applicable agreements in effect as of the date hereof. The advancement, indemnification and liability limitation or exculpation provisions of SeqLL’s Governing Documents or in other applicable agreements in effect as of immediately prior to the Closing Date shall not, during such six (6)-year period, be amended, repealed or otherwise modified after the Closing Date in any manner that would materially and adversely affect the rights thereunder of individuals who, as of immediately prior to the Closing Date or at any time prior to such time, were directors or officers of SeqLL (the “SeqLL D&O Persons”) to receive advancement, be so indemnified, have their liability limited or be exculpated with respect to any act, error or omission occurring on or prior to the Closing Date by reason of the fact that such SeqLL D&O Person was a director or officer of SeqLL immediately prior to the Closing Date unless such amendment, repeal or other modification is required by applicable Law.

(b) SeqLL shall not have any obligation under this Section 3.16 to any SeqLL D&O Person when and if a court of competent jurisdiction shall ultimately determine (and such determination shall have become final and non-appealable) that the indemnification of such SeqLL D&O Person in the manner contemplated hereby is prohibited by applicable Law.

(c) SeqLL shall purchase at or prior to Closing and maintain in effect for a period of six (6) years after the Second Effective Time without lapses in coverage, a “tail” policy or policies providing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage for the benefit of those Persons who are currently covered by any comparable insurance policies of SeqLL as of the date of this Agreement with respect to any acts, errors or omissions occurring on or prior to the Second Effective Time (the “SeqLL D&O Tail Policy”). Such “tail” policy or policies shall provide coverage on terms (with respect to coverage and amount) that are substantially the same as (and no less favorable in the aggregate to the insured than) the coverage provided under XxxXX’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies as of the date of this Agreement; provided that SeqLL shall not pay a premium for such “tail” policy or policies in excess of one hundred percent (100%) of the most recent annual premium paid by SeqLL for the existing policy prior to the date of this Agreement and, in such event, SeqLL shall purchase the same or similar coverage as the existing policy in effect prior to the date of this Agreement.

(d) If, following the Closing, SeqLL (i) shall merge or consolidate with or merge into any other corporation or entity and shall not be the surviving or continuing corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) shall transfer all or substantially all of its properties and assets as an entity in one or a series of related transactions to any Person, then in each such case, proper provisions shall be made so that the successors or assigns of SeqLL shall assume all of the obligations set forth in this Section 3.16.

(e) The SeqLL D&O Persons entitled to the advancement, indemnification, liability limitation, exculpation and insurance set forth in this Section 3.16 are intended to be third-party beneficiaries of this Section 3.16. This Section 3.16 shall survive the consummation of the Merger contemplated by this Agreement and shall be binding on all successors and assigns of SeqLL.

3.17 Post-Closing Directors and Officers.

(a) Following the date of this Agreement and prior to the mailing of the Proxy Statement to the SeqLL Stockholders, the Company and Atlantic shall, subject to applicable listing rules of Nasdaq and applicable Law, designate in writing to SeqLL six (6) Persons that will serve on the SeqLL Board as of immediately after the Closing Date, and a seventh (7^th) director is expected to have relevant staffing industry experience to be mutually agreed to among the Parties and a majority thereof is qualified as independent directors under the Nasdaq Listing Requirements. SeqLL shall take all such action within its power as may be necessary or appropriate to give effect to the Company’s designations as of immediately after the Closing Date and for the officers of SeqLL (the “Officers”) as of immediately after the Closing Date to be the individuals determined in accordance with Section 3.17(c). For the avoidance of doubt, as of immediately after the Closing Date, the SeqLL Board shall consist of the Persons designated by the Company and Atlantic identified on Schedule 3.17(a).

(b) Notwithstanding the Company’s designation rights under Section 3.17(a), one Person identified on Schedule 3.17(b) of the Disclosure Schedules shall be an existing director on the SeqLL Board immediately after the Closing Date.

(c) The Persons identified on Schedule 3.17(c) of the Disclosure Schedules shall be the Officers immediately after the Closing Date, with each such individual holding the title set forth opposite his or her name. In the event that any Person identified on Schedule 3.17(c) of the Disclosure Schedules is unwilling or unable (whether due to death, disability, disqualification or otherwise) to serve as an Officer, then, prior to the mailing of the Proxy Statement to the SeqLL Stockholders, the Company may, subject to applicable listing rules of Nasdaq and applicable Law, replace such individual with another individual to serve as such Officer by amending Schedule 3.17(c) of the Disclosure Schedules to include such replacement individual as such Officer.

3.18 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Except as expressly stated in this ARTICLE III or in ARTICLE IX, each of the Parties to this Agreement acknowledges and agrees that all provisions contained in this ARTICLE III are included for the sole benefit of SeqLL, Atlantic and the Company, and that nothing in this Agreement, whether express or implied, (i) shall be construed to establish, amend, or modify any employee benefit plan, program, agreement or arrangement, (ii) shall limit the right of SeqLL, the Company or their respective Affiliates to amend, terminate or otherwise modify any Employee Benefit Plan or other employee benefit plan, agreement or other arrangement following the Closing Date, or (iii) shall confer upon any Person who is not a party to this Agreement (including any equity holder, any current or former director, manager, officer, employee, contingent worker or service provider of the Company, or any participant in any Employee Plan or other employee benefit plan, agreement or other arrangement (or any dependent or beneficiary thereof)), any right to continued or resumed employment or recall, any right to compensation or benefits, or any third-party beneficiary or other right of any kind or nature whatsoever.

-14-

3.19 Post-Closing Accounting. Immediately following the Closing, the accountants for the Company and the accountants for SeqLL prior to the Closing shall continue, at SeqLL’s expense post-Closing, to assist XxxXX’s new accountants post-Closing in the transition period with the completion of the Capital Raise. This shall include, but not be limited to, the preparation of the Company’s unaudited financial statements for the period from January 1, 2023 until June 30, 2023.

3.20 Tax Matters.

(a) SeqLL and Sellers shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested, in connection with (i) the preparation and filing of any Tax Returns of the Company Entities and (ii) any Action with respect to Taxes and Tax Returns of the Company Entities, in each case, with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period (including any Straddle Period). Such cooperation shall include the retention, and (upon the other Party’s request) the provision, of records and information which are reasonably relevant to any such Action and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder.

(b) SeqLL shall prepare and file, or cause to be prepared and filed, at SeqLL’s expense, all Tax Returns that are required to be filed by, or with respect to, the Company Entities for taxable periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date and Straddle Periods (except for any income Tax Returns for the 2022 taxable period). For the avoidance of doubt, IDC will prepare and timely file (taking into account any automatic extensions available under applicable Law) all Company Entities income Tax Returns related to the 2022 taxable period and if requested by IDC, SeqLL and Company Entities will cooperate in good faith in filing such 2022 income Tax Returns. Any Tax Returns prepared by SeqLL with respect to taxable periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date and Straddle Periods shall be prepared in a manner consistent with past practices of the Company Entities, unless otherwise required by applicable Law. At least thirty (30) days prior to the date on which such Tax Return is filed (or, if required to be filed within thirty (30) days of the Closing Date or the end of the applicable tax period, as soon as reasonably practicable following the Closing Date or such tax period), SeqLL will submit such Tax Return to IDC for IDC’s review, comment and consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or denied). IDC will notify SeqLL of any comments or objections to such Tax Returns within ten (10) Business Days of receipt. In the event that IDC fails to comment or object within ten (10) Business Days, IDC will be deemed to consent to such Tax Return. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no failure or delay of SeqLL in delivering a Tax Return to IDC pursuant to this Section 3.20(b) shall reduce any indemnification obligations on the part of a Seller Indemnifying Party under ARTICLE IX, unless such Seller Indemnifying Party is materially and adversely affected by such failure or delay. SeqLL shall claim any Transaction Tax Deductions in the taxable period of the Company Entities that includes the Closing Date to the extent such Transaction Tax Deductions are allocable to such period at a “more likely than not” comfort level (as determined by SeqLL and/or its Tax Return preparer in their reasonable discretion).

(c) Any refund of Taxes (or credit in lieu of a refund of Taxes) that is actually received (or, in the case of a credit in lieu of a refund, actually utilized to offset taxable income, as determined on a with and without basis and by treating such credit as the last item available to offset taxable income after taking into account all other available credits and deductions) by SeqLL, the Company, the Company’s Subsidiaries, or their respective Affiliates after Closing with respect to a Pre-Closing Tax Period, shall first be applied to reimburse SeqLL for any Damages economically borne by SeqLL under Section 9.4(a) as part of the Shared Damages Amount and, thereafter, any remaining amount (net of any reasonable costs or expenses incurred in connection with obtaining such Tax refund or credit in lieu of a refund of Taxes) shall be the property of Sellers. SeqLL shall pay or cause to be paid to IDC (on behalf of Sellers) in the case of any such Tax refund or credit in lieu of a refund of Taxes, the amount of such Tax refund or credit to which Sellers are entitled (as determined in accordance with the preceding sentence) as soon as reasonably practicable following the determination thereof, but in no event prior to the actual receipt of such Tax Refund or, in the case of any such credit of Taxes, prior to the date such credit actually reduces the amount of Taxes that SeqLL or its Affiliates (including the Company and the Company’s Subsidiaries) would otherwise be required to pay. With respect to any overpayment of Taxes for a Pre- Closing Tax Period, SeqLL shall seek any recoupment of such overpayment in the form of a refund of Taxes (rather than a credit against future Taxes) to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law. SeqLL shall not, and shall cause the Company, the Company’s Subsidiaries, and their Affiliates to not, waive any Tax attribute of the Company, the Company’s Subsidiaries, and their Affiliates generated or otherwise attributable to a Pre-Closing Tax Period if such waiver would reduce the amount due to Sellers pursuant to this Section 3.20(c). Any refund of Taxes (or credit in lieu of a refund of Taxes) in respect of a Straddle Period shall be apportioned between the pre-Closing and post-Closing portions of the Straddle Period in accordance with the principles set forth in Section 3.22. For the avoidance of doubt, neither SeqLL, the Company Entities nor their respective Affiliates shall be under any affirmative obligation to pursue any such refund or credit of Taxes but they shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with IDC to obtain any such refund or credit at the request of IDC.

-15-

(d) SeqLL shall not, and shall not permit the Company Entities or any of their Related Parties to, take any action on the Closing Date and after the Closing that is not in the Ordinary Course of Business and that could reasonably be expected to increase Sellers’ liability for Taxes, except to the extent such action is contemplated by this Agreement. Unless contemplated by this Agreement or in connection with a Tax Claim resolved in accordance with Section 3.20(e) below (including any corresponding amendments or adjustments to Tax Returns for intervening years in connection with such Tax Claim), none of SeqLL or any of SeqLL’s Related Parties shall (or shall cause or permit the Company Entities or any of their respective Related Parties to): (i) amend, re-file or otherwise modify any previously filed Tax Return of the Company Entities with respect to a Pre-Closing Tax Period; (ii) surrender any right to claim a refund of Taxes; (iii) initiate any voluntary disclosure agreement or program, or similar process, with any Tax authority regarding any Tax (whether asserted or un-asserted) or Tax Return (whether filed or unfiled) of the Company Entities; or (iv) agree to the waiver of or an extension to the statute of limitations period applicable to the Company Entities, in each case, with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period (or portion thereof) without the prior written consent of IDC, which consent shall not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. With respect to Section 3.20(d)(iii), IDC will have ten (10) Business Days from the date of notification by SeqLL to inform SeqLL of its objection to the initiation of any voluntary disclosure agreement or program.

(e) If, at any time after the Closing, SeqLL or any of the Company Entities receives notice of any proposed assessment of Taxes or the commencement of any Tax audit or administrative or judicial Tax proceeding with respect to Taxes payable by the Company Entities for a Pre-Closing Tax Period, including a Straddle Period (a “Tax Claim”), then SeqLL shall promptly notify IDC, in writing, of such notice; provided, that no failure or delay of SeqLL or the Company Entities in providing such notice shall reduce or otherwise affect the obligations of the Sellers pursuant to this Agreement, except to the extent that the Sellers are adversely and materially prejudiced as a result of such failure or delay. IDC shall have the right, at its own expense and upon written notice to SeqLL, to control the conduct of any Tax Claim relating solely to income Taxes attributable to a tax period ending on or before the Closing Date (a “Seller Controlled Tax Claim”); provided, that (i) IDC shall keep SeqLL reasonably informed of the progress of any such Tax Claim, (ii) SeqLL shall have the right to participate in the defense of any such Tax Claim and to employ its own counsel at its expense, and (iii) IDC shall not settle or compromise such Tax Claim without SeqLL’s prior written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. SeqLL shall control the conduct of any Tax Claim that is not a Seller Controlled Tax Claim or that IDC does not elect to control pursuant to the preceding sentence; provided, that (i) SeqLL shall keep IDC reasonably informed of the progress of any such Tax Claim, (ii) IDC shall have the right to participate in the defense of such Tax Claim at Sellers’ expense, and (iii) SeqLL shall not settle or compromise such Tax Claim without IDC’s prior written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in connection with any audit or other similar examination with respect to any Taxes or Tax Returns of any Company Entity that is or was treated as partnership for U.S. federal and applicable state and local income tax purposes for a Pre-Closing Tax Period, the Parties agree that such Company Entity shall make, or shall cause the “partnership representative” within the meaning of Section 6223 of the Code to make, an election under Section 6226 of the Code (or any similar or comparable provision of state, local or non-U.S. Law) for any “imputed underpayment” as defined in Section 6225 of the Code (or any comparable provision of state, local or non-U.S. Law) attributable to such Company Entity, unless SeqLL and IDC both consent to an alternative course of action. In the event of an overlap or conflict between the provisions of this Section 3.20(e) and Section 9.4 hereof with respect to a Tax Claim, the provisions of this Section 3.20(e) shall control.

-16-

(f) The Company shall make and maintain an election under Section 754 of the Code for the taxable year that includes the Closing Date. The Company shall implement a closing of the books using the “interim closing” method and the calendar day convention set forth in Treasury Regulations Section 1.706-4 determined as of the end of the Closing Date for purposes of determining the Company’s items of income, gain, loss and deduction that are allocable to the Sellers, Atlantic and SeqLL in respect of the Interests transferred pursuant to this Agreement.

3.21 Transfer Taxes and Fees. Following the Closing, SeqLL, on the one hand, and the Sellers, on a joint and several basis, on the other hand, shall be responsible for and pay fifty percent (50%) of all Transfer Taxes arising out of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and all recordation costs and filing expenses incurred in connection with obtaining or recording title with any Governmental Authority. The Party required by applicable Law shall timely prepare and file all Tax Returns and other documentation required to be filed in connection with such Transfer Taxes, and the non-filing Party shall cooperate with the filing Party in connection with the preparation and filing of such Tax Returns and other documentation.

3.22 Straddle Period Taxes. Wherever applicable for this Agreement, in the case of a Straddle Period, the amount of any Taxes based on or measured by income, receipts, sales, use or payroll of the Company or its Subsidiaries for the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be determined based on an interim closing of the books as of the close of business on the Closing Date (and for such purpose, the taxable period of any partnership or other pass-through entity or non-U.S. entity in which any of the Company Entities holds a beneficial interest shall be deemed to terminate at such time), and the amount of other Taxes of the Company and its Subsidiaries for a Straddle Period that relates to the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire taxable period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the taxable period ending on and including the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in such Straddle Period. For the avoidance of doubt, all Transaction Tax Deductions claimed on a Tax Return filed pursuant to Section 3.20(b) shall be allocated to the pre-Closing portion of the Straddle Period.

3.23 SeqLL Cash Dividend. Prior to the Closing Date, SeqLL shall declare a cash dividend payable on or after the Closing Date to the holders of SeqLL Common Stock as of the close of business on a date to be determined by SeqLL, but in any event prior to the date of pricing of the Capital Raise, in an amount equal to SeqLL’s cash and cash equivalents on hand as of the Closing Date (but such amount shall not include any funds received from the Capital Raise), less withholding for sales taxes, if any, payable by SeqLL and any other obligations payable by SeqLL under the Asset Purchase Agreement (or any amount withheld for such taxes or other obligations under the Asset Purchase Agreement). The declaration of the cash dividend by XxxXX may be made on a contingent basis dependent on the Closing of the transactions contemplated hereby. The aggregate amount of such cash dividend shall be subject to the consent of Atlantic, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

-17-

3.24 Joint Obligations of IDC and the Company. At Closing, IDC, from its allocation of the Cash Consideration, shall pay all joint Indebtedness of the Company and IDC due under the Loan Agreement and, to the extent of its remaining Cash Consideration, all joint Indebtedness of the Company and IDC due to PBC and Lyneer Management. After the payments contemplated by the preceding sentence, IDC shall satisfy any remaining joint Indebtedness of the Company and IDC due to PBC and Lyneer Management by execution and delivery to PBC and Lyneer Management of new subordinated promissory notes, which will have a maturity date twelve months after the Closing Date, bear interest at the rate of 11.25% per year, provide for quarterly payments of interest only, be subordinated only to any first lien senior secured indebtedness of IDC, and otherwise be on terms acceptable to the parties thereto in their sole discretion. At or prior to Closing, IDC shall payoff or assume all joint Indebtedness of the Company and IDC outstanding under the BMO Credit Facility in excess of the Stand-Alone Amount.

5.1 Organization; Authority. SeqLL is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing, under the Laws of the State of Delaware.

Each of SeqLL and Purchaser Sub have requisite power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and the Ancillary Documents to which it is a party and to perform its obligations hereunder and thereunder.

SeqLL and Purchaser Sub have all requisite power and authority to own and lease the properties and assets they currently own and lease and to conduct their activities as currently conducted and as presently contemplated to be conducted. Each of SeqLL and Purchaser Sub is duly qualified to do business as a foreign corporation and is in good standing (with respect to jurisdictions that recognize the concept of good standing) in all jurisdictions in which the ownership or leasing of the properties and assets owned or leased by it or the nature of its activities makes such qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified or licensed would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be likely to have a Material Adverse Effect. Schedule 5.1 is a true and complete list of (i) each jurisdiction in which SeqLL and Purchaser Sub are qualified to do business, (ii) every state or foreign jurisdiction in which SeqLL and Purchaser Sub have employees or facilities and (iii) the directors and officers of SeqLL and Purchaser Sub.

Article IX

Indemnification

9.1 Survival of Representations, Warranties and Covenants. The representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement and the Ancillary Documents as to Sellers and Atlantic, but not SeqLL, shall survive for twelve (12) months from the Closing Date (the “Survival Period”) except for such covenants and agreements expressly agreed hereto to be performed or completed after the Closing Date, including, but not limited to, those to be performed by XxxXX. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Party shall be entitled to recover for any Damages pursuant to Section 9.2 or Section 9.4 unless a Claim Notice (as defined herein below) with respect to any claim is delivered to the Indemnifying Party thereunder pursuant to this ARTICLE IX in advance of the expiration of the Survival Period. The liability for such claim will continue until such claim is fully resolved. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, this Section 9.1 shall not limit any claim or recovery available to any Party under any insurance policy applicable to any such Party or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

9.2 Claw back of Escrow Shares.

(a) Subject to the provisions of this ARTICLE IX, the Escrow Shares will be held in an Escrow Account pursuant to the Escrow Agreement, the form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit C. The Parties acknowledge and agree that SeqLL’s and Atlantic’s (including Atlantic Shareholders) sole and exclusive remedies and recourse in connection with Damages related to Sections 9.2(a)(i)-(ii) shall be through the redemption, adjustment and cancellation of the Escrow Shares in whole or in part (such redemption, adjustment or cancellation, the “Stock Consideration Adjustment”) to offset any Damages based upon, resulting from or related to:

(i) any Breach of any representation or warranty made by the Company or by any of the Sellers regarding the Company in this Agreement or in any Ancillary Document; and

(ii) any Breach of any covenant or obligation of the Company in this Agreement or in any Ancillary Document.

(b) The aggregate number of Escrow Shares to be clawed back or redeemed by SeqLL pursuant to Section 9.2(a), and thereby released from the Escrow Account, shall equal and not exceed the quotient obtained by dividing Damages (as determined on the basis of, and as may be limited by, this Article IX) by the Public Offering Price.

(c) For avoidance of doubt, the Sellers’ liabilities under this ARTICLE IX shall (i) be limited to the Stock Consideration Adjustment with respect to Escrow Shares under the Escrow Agreement, and (ii) not exceed the aggregate amount of the Escrow Shares and there shall be no recourse of any kind against any other consideration or compensation paid or payable to the Sellers. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, no Stock Consideration Adjustment may be taken with respect to Damages actually recovered from insurance or compensation from other sources (including, without limitation, worker’s compensation coverages) so as to avoid duplication or “double counting” of the same Damages.

-63-

9.3 [Reserved]

9.4 Indemnification by Atlantic. Subject to the provisions of this ARTICLE IX, from and after the Closing, Atlantic will, severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold Sellers, SeqLL, and their Related Parties and permitted assigns (collectively, the “Seller/SeqLL Indemnified Parties”) harmless from and against, and pay to the applicable Seller/SeqLL Indemnified Parties the amount of, any Damages based upon, resulting from or related to:

(a) any Breach of any representation or warranty made by Atlantic in this Agreement or in any Ancillary Document;

(b) the Breach of any covenant or obligation of Atlantic in this Agreement or in any Ancillary Document; and

(c) any claim or assertion for broker’s or finder’s fees or expenses arising out of the Contemplated Transactions or this Agreement by any Person claiming to have been engaged by Atlantic or its Related Parties.

Any claim or recovery available from SeqLL shall be limited to coverage under its existing Directors and Officers liability insurance policy in effect at the time of the Closing or under any subsequent insurance policy.

9.5 Indemnification Procedures.

(a) Subject to Section 9.1, any claim or demand by a Party under this Article IX (an “Indemnified Party”) in respect of payment that may be brought under Section 9.2 or Section 9.4, as the case may be (such claim or demand, a “Direct Claim”) shall be asserted by the Indemnified Party giving the Party against whom such claim or demand is made (the “Indemnifying Party”) reasonably prompt written notice thereof (each, a “Claim Notice”), setting forth in reasonable detail the nature of the claim. Without limiting Section 9.1 of this Agreement, the failure of an Indemnified Party to reasonably promptly provide a Claim Notice of any Direct Claim shall not release, waive or otherwise affect the Indemnifying Party’s obligations with respect thereto, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is actually and materially prejudiced as a result of such failure. The Indemnifying Party shall have thirty (30) days after its receipt of such Claim Notice to respond in writing to such Direct Claim. If the Indemnifying Party does not so respond within such thirty (30) day period, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have agreed to such claim and the Indemnifying Party’s obligation, subject to any limitation contained in this Agreement, to indemnify the Indemnified Party for the full amount of all Damages related to or resulting therefrom.

(b) In the event that any Action shall be instituted or that any claim or demand shall be asserted by any third Party in respect of which payment may be sought under Section 9.2 or Section 9.4, (a “Third-Party Claim”), subject to Section 9.1, such Indemnified Party shall give notice to the Indemnifying Party of the assertion of such Third Party Claim no later than thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice; provided, that the failure to notify the Indemnifying Party within such time period will not relieve the Indemnifying Party of any liability that it may have to any Indemnified Person, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party demonstrates that the defense of such Third Party Claim is materially prejudiced by the Indemnified Person’s failure to give such notice in a timely manner (and then only to the extent of such prejudice). If an Indemnified Party gives notice to the Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Section 9.5(b) of the assertion of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense of such Third Party Claim and, to the extent that it wishes (unless (i) the Indemnifying Party is also a Person against whom the Third Party Claim is made and the Indemnified Party determines in good faith that joint representation would be inappropriate or (ii) the Indemnifying Party fails to provide reasonable assurance to the Indemnified Party of its financial capacity to defend such Third Party Claim and provide indemnification with respect to such Third Party Claim), to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim with counsel satisfactory to the Indemnified Person. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim, no compromise or settlement of such Third Party Claim may be effected by the Indemnifying Party without the Indemnified Person’s Consent unless: (A) there is no finding or admission of any violation of Legal Requirement or any violation of the rights of any Person; (B) the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are paid in full by the Indemnifying Person; (C) the Indemnified Party shall have no liability with respect to any compromise or settlement of such Third Party Claims effected without its Consent; and (D) the compromise or settlement includes a complete release of the Indemnified Party with respect to such Third Party Claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Indemnified Party determines in good faith that there is a reasonable probability that a Third Party Claim may adversely affect it or its Related Parties other than as a result of monetary damages for which it would be entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party may, by notice to the Indemnifying Person, assume the exclusive right to defend, compromise or settle such Third Party Claim, but the Indemnifying Party will not be bound by any determination of any Third Party Claim so defended for the purposes of this Agreement or any compromise or settlement effected without its Consent (which may not be unreasonably withheld). With respect to any Third Party Claim subject to indemnification under this Section 9.5(b): (x) both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Person, as the case may be, shall keep the other Person fully informed of the status of such Third Party Claim and any related Actions at all stages thereof where such Person is not represented by its own counsel; (y) the Parties agree (each at its own expense) to render to each other such assistance as they may reasonably require of each other and to cooperate in good faith with each other in order to ensure the proper and adequate defense of any Third Party Claim; and (z) the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to recover Damages from the Indemnifying Party not received from another Person as set forth in this ARTICLE IX. With respect to any Third Party Claim subject to indemnification under this Section 9.5(b), the Parties agree to cooperate in such a manner as to preserve in full (to the extent possible) the confidentiality of all Confidential Information and the attorney-client and work-product privileges. In connection therewith, each Party agrees that: (i) it will use its commercially reasonable efforts, in respect of any Third Party Claim in which it has assumed or participated in the defense, to avoid production of Confidential Information (consistent with applicable law and rules of procedure), and (ii) all communications between any Party hereto and counsel responsible for or participating in the defense of any Third Party Claim shall, to the extent possible, be made so as to preserve any applicable attorney-client or work-product privilege.

9.6 Certain Indemnification Limitations and Terms.

(a) The aggregate amount of all Damages arising under the indemnification obligations set forth in this ARTICLE IX that has been adjudicated pursuant to a final unappealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction and for which the Sellers shall be liable shall not exceed the Escrow Shares (the “Sellers Liability Cap”), held by the Escrow Agent under the Escrow Agreement and shall be fully and exclusively satisfied by the Stock Consideration Adjustment without any further or additional recourse of any kind.

(b) The liability of any Seller or its Related Party for indemnification hereunder shall in no circumstance exceed an amount equal to such Seller’s or its Related Party’s allocated share of the Sellers Liability Cap based on their respective Escrow Shares.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Parties acknowledge and agree that in no event shall any Indemnifying Party be liable to any Indemnified Party for any punitive, exemplary, incidental, consequential, special or indirect Damages, including loss of future revenue or income, loss of business reputation or opportunity relating to the breach or alleged breach of this Agreement, or diminution of value or any Damages based on any type of multiple.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in no event shall SeqLL or its Related Parties be entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 9.2(a) with respect to any Taxes: (i) resulting from any transaction taken outside of the Ordinary Course of Business at the direction of SeqLL or its Affiliates after the Closing, or (ii) with respect to any taxable period (or portion thereof) beginning after the Closing Date arising in connection with a breach of the representations in Section 6.9 (other than with respect to a breach of the representations in Sections 6.9(b), (g), (k), (m) and (o)).

(e) Each limitation set forth herein may be read and construed together, and is not exclusive of any other limitation set forth herein.

9.7 Calculation of Damages.

(a) No Party shall have any liability to any Indemnified Party under ARTICLE IX until the Indemnified Party shall have incurred, on a cumulative basis, damages exceeding two hundred thousand ($200,000) dollars (the “Deductible”), at which point the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for all damages in excess of the Deductible incurred by the Indemnified Party(ies).

(b) The amount of any Damages for which indemnification is provided under this ARTICLE IX shall be net of any amounts actually recovered by the Indemnified Party under insurance policies (including any representations and warranties insurance policy to which a Company Entity is a beneficiary), or other sources of indemnification. The Indemnified Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to recover under insurance policies (including any representations and warranties insurance policy to which a Company Entity is a beneficiary) or indemnity, contribution or other similar agreements for any Damages prior to seeking indemnification under this Agreement.

(c) All indemnification payments made under this Agreement shall be treated as an adjustment to the Stock Consideration for Tax purposes, except as otherwise required by applicable Law.

11.5 Enforcement of Agreement. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that the other Parties would be irreparably damaged if any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed in accordance with their specific terms and that any breach of this Agreement could not be adequately compensated in all cases by monetary damages alone. Accordingly, in addition to any other right or remedy to which a Party may be entitled, at law or in equity, it may be entitled to enforce any provision of this Agreement by a decree of specific performance and to temporary, preliminary and permanent injunctive relief to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of any of the provisions of this Agreement, without posting any bond or other undertaking.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law: (a) no claim or right arising out of this Agreement or any of the documents referred to in this Agreement can be discharged by one Party, in whole or in part, by a waiver or renunciation of the claim or right unless in writing signed by the other Party; (b) no waiver that may be given by a Party will be applicable except in the specific instance for which it is given; and (c) no notice or demand on one Party will be deemed to be a waiver of any obligation of that Party or of the right of the Party giving such notice or demand to take further action without notice or demand as provided in this Agreement or the documents referred to in this Agreement.

11.7 Entire Agreement and Modification. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements, whether written or oral, between the Parties with respect to its subject matter (including any letter of intent and any confidentiality agreement between the Parties and any of their Related Parties) and constitutes (along with the schedules, exhibits and other documents delivered pursuant to this Agreement) a complete and exclusive statement of the terms of the agreement between the Parties with respect to its subject matter.

The Parties agree that the Disclosure Schedules constitute (a) exceptions to particular representations, warranties, covenants and obligations of such Seller and the Company, as set forth in this Agreement, or (b) descriptions or lists of other items referred to in this Agreement. Inclusion of information in the Disclosure Schedules shall not be construed as an admission that such information is material to any Party or, or the Business. The Parties acknowledge that headings have been inserted on the individual schedules included in the Disclosure Schedules for the convenience of reference only and shall not affect the construction or interpretation of any of the provisions of the Agreement or the Disclosure Schedule.

11.9 Assignments, Successors and No Third Party Rights.

11.10 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, the other provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect. Any provision of this Agreement held invalid or unenforceable only in part or degree will remain in full force and effect to the extent not held invalid or unenforceable.

11.11 Governing Law. This Agreement and all disputes or controversies arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Contemplated Transactions, including the applicable statute of limitations, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the Law of any jurisdiction other than the State of New York.

11.12 Parties in Interest. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each Party and its successors and permitted assigns and, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, express or implied, nothing is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any rights, benefits or remedies of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.
