Section 1.2 Agreement to Vote. Stockholder hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees that, at any meeting of the stockholders of Acquirer however called or at any adjournment thereof, or in any other circumstance that the vote, consent or other approval of the stockholders of Acquirer is sought (the “Requisite Vote”), such Stockholder shall (i) appear at such meeting or otherwise cause all of such Stockholder’s Shares then held of record or beneficially by Stockholder to be counted present thereat for purposes of calculating a quorum and (ii) vote or cause to be voted (or duly and promptly execute and deliver, or cause to be duly and promptly executed and delivered, an action by written consent which written consent shall be delivered promptly, and in any event within five Business Days, after Acquirer, as applicable requests such delivery), all of such Stockholder’s Shares then held of record or beneficially by Stockholder:
(a) to approve the issuance of the Stock Consideration pursuant to the Merger Agreement and the issuance of the shares of Acquirer Stock pursuant to the Subscription Agreements;

(f) against any and all other proposals that could reasonably be expected to delay or impair the ability of Acquirer to consummate the Transactions.
Nothing in this Agreement limits or restricts any Affiliate or designee of Stockholder who serves as a member of the Acquirer Board in acting or voting in his or her capacity as a director of Acquirer and exercising his or her fiduciary duties and responsibilities, it being understood that this Agreement applies to Stockholder solely in its capacity as a stockholder of Acquirer and does not apply to any such Affiliate or designee’s actions, judgments or decisions as a director of Acquirer, and such actions (or failures to act) shall not be deemed to constitute a breach of this Agreement.
Section 1.3 Proxy.
(a) Solely in furtherance of Section 1.2 of this Agreement and subject to termination as provided in Section 3.1 of this Agreement, Stockholder (i) hereby irrevocably grants to, and appoints, Acquirer or any individual designated by Acquirer as the Stockholder’s agent, irrevocable proxy and attorney-in-fact (with full power of substitution and resubstitution) to vote the Shares held of record or beneficially by Stockholder at the time of the applicable vote or consent, provide written consents, express consent or otherwise utilize voting power as indicated in Section 1.2 of this Agreement; provided, however, that Stockholder’s grant of the proxy contemplated by this Section 1.3(a) shall be effective if, and only if, Stockholder has not delivered to the Secretary of Acquirer at least five Business Days prior to such meeting a duly executed proxy card previously approved by Acquirer voting Stockholder’s Shares in the manner specified in Section 1.2 or in the event such proxy card has been thereafter modified or revoked or otherwise fails to provide evidence of Stockholder’s compliance with its obligations under Section 1.2 in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Acquirer, (ii) hereby affirms that the irrevocable proxy set forth in this Section 1.3, if it becomes effective pursuant to clause (i), is given in connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, and that such irrevocable proxy is given to secure the performance of the duties of Stockholder under this Agreement and (iii) hereby (a) affirms that the irrevocable proxy is coupled with an interest and (b) affirms that such irrevocable proxy, if it becomes effective pursuant to clause (i), is executed and intended to be irrevocable in accordance with the provisions of Section 212(e) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.
(b) Stockholder hereby represents that all proxies, powers of attorney, instructions or other requests given by Stockholder prior to the execution of this Agreement in respect of the voting of Stockholder’s Shares, if any, are not irrevocable and Stockholder hereby revokes (or causes to be revoked) any and all previous proxies, powers of attorney, instructions or other requests with respect to Stockholder’s Shares. The vote, if any, of the proxy holder pursuant to the proxy set forth in this Section 1.3 shall control the outcome, and be determinative, of any conflict between the vote by the proxy holder of the Shares and a vote by a Stockholder of the Shares. Stockholder shall provide evidence to Acquirer in connection with the actions of the Stockholder under or relating to this Section 1.3 as Acquirer shall reasonably request.
Section 1.4 No Challenges. Stockholder agrees not to commence, join in, facilitate, assist or knowingly encourage, and agrees to take all actions reasonably necessary to opt out of any class in any class action with respect to, any claim, derivative or otherwise, against Acquirer or any of its respective successors or directors challenging the validity of, or seeking to enjoin the operation of, any provision of this Agreement.

(a) Organization; Due Authorization. If such Stockholder is not a natural person, it is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of the jurisdiction in which it is incorporated, formed, organized or constituted, and the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby are within such Stockholder’s corporate, limited liability company or organizational powers and have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate, limited liability company or organizational actions on the part of such Stockholder. If such Stockholder is a natural person, such Stockholder has full legal capacity, right and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform his or her obligations hereunder. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by such Stockholder and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the other parties to this Agreement, this Agreement constitutes a legally valid and binding obligation of such Stockholder, enforceable against such Stockholder in accordance with the terms hereof (except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy Laws, other similar Laws affecting creditors’ rights and general principles of equity affecting the availability of specific performance and other equitable remedies).

Such Stockholder does not hold or own any rights to acquire (directly or indirectly) any equity securities of Acquirer or any equity securities convertible into, or which can be exchanged for, equity securities of Acquirer other than warrants issued by the Acquirer prior to the date of this Agreement or earn-out shares issuable pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger by and among Acquirer, S-IV Sub, Inc. and Mount Sinai Genomics, Inc. dated as of February 9, 2021, as amended.
(c) No Conflicts. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by such Stockholder does not, and the performance by such Stockholder of his, her or its obligations hereunder will not, (i) if such Stockholder is not an individual, conflict with or result in a violation of the organizational documents of such Stockholder or (ii) require any consent or approval that has not been given or other action that has not been taken by any Person (including under any Contract binding upon such Stockholder or such Stockholder’s Shares) to the extent such consent, approval or other action would prevent, enjoin or materially delay the performance by such Stockholder of its, his or her obligations under this Agreement.

ARTICLE III
MISCELLANEOUS
Section 3.1 Termination. All of the provisions this Agreement (and the proxy granted hereunder) shall terminate and be of no further force or effect upon the earlier of (a) the Effective Time, (b) such date and time as the Merger Agreement shall be terminated in accordance with Section 7.1 thereof (the earlier of clause (a) and (b) being the “Expiration Time”) and (c) the written agreement of Acquirer, Seller and Stockholder to terminate the provisions of this Agreement. Stockholder shall also have the right to terminate this Agreement (and the proxy granted hereunder) by written notice to Acquirer if the Transactions have not been consummated by the Outside Date (as defined in the Subscription Agreements). Upon any termination of this Agreement, all obligations of Acquirer and Stockholder under this Agreement will terminate, without any liability or other obligation on the part of any party hereto to any person or entity in respect hereof or the transactions contemplated hereby, and no party hereto shall have any claim
5
EXECUTION COPY
against another (and no person or entity shall have any rights against such party), whether under contract, tort or otherwise, with respect to the subject matter hereof; provided, however, that the termination of the provisions of this Agreement shall not relieve any party hereto from liability arising in respect of any willful breach of the provisions of this Agreement prior to such termination. Stockholder’s obligations under Section 1.2 and 1.3 shall cease to apply, and the proxy granted under Section 1.3 shall terminate, in the event that the Merger Agreement is amended, modified, supplemented or waived in a manner that (A) increases the Stock Consideration, otherwise materially changes the form, or otherwise materially increases the amount, of the consideration payable by Acquirer pursuant to the Merger Agreement, (B) changes the definition of Specified Designees or (C) is otherwise materially adverse to Stockholder, unless Stockholder has consented to such amendment, modification, supplement or waiver in writing (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned if so requested by Acquirer). This ARTICLE III shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
Section 3.2 Other Agreements. Acquirer represents and warrants to Stockholder that it has obtained a binding support agreement or commitment from the stockholders listed in Schedule II (each a “Supporting Stockholder”) in respect of the Requisite Vote with substantially the same commitment and terms, including restrictions on transfer as noted in such Schedule, set forth in this Agreement (each a “Supporting Stockholder Voting Commitment”). Acquirer shall not agree to any amendment, waiver, termination or modification of a material term of a Supporting Stockholder Voting Commitment without offering the same amendment, waiver, termination or modification to Stockholder. The obligations of each Supporting Stockholder under any Supporting Stockholder Voting Commitment are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Supporting Stockholder, and no Supporting Stockholder shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Supporting Stockholder under any Supporting Stockholder Voting Commitment. Nothing contained herein or in any other Supporting Stockholder Voting Commitment , and no action taken by any Supporting Stockholder pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Supporting Stockholders and Stockholder as, and Acquirer acknowledges that the Supporting Stockholders and Stockholder do not so constitute, a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Supporting Stockholders and Stockholder are in any way acting in concert or as a group, and no party hereto will assert any such claim with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated hereby or by the Supporting Stockholder Voting Commitments. Acquirer acknowledges and Stockholder confirms that it has independently participated in the negotiation of the transaction contemplated hereby with the advice of its own counsel and advisors. Stockholder shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including, without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement, and shall not seek, nor shall it be necessary for, any Supporting Stockholder to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.
Section 3.3 Injunctive Relief; Specific Performance. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur if any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with the terms hereof, and, accordingly, that the parties hereto shall, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement or to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions hereof in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or, if that court does not have jurisdiction, any federal court located in the State of Delaware or any other Delaware State Court without proof of actual damages or otherwise, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity as expressly permitted in this Agreement. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, each of the parties hereto hereby further waives (a) any defense in any Proceeding for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate and (b) any requirement under any Law to post security or a bond as a prerequisite to obtaining equitable relief. Each of the parties hereto hereby acknowledges and agrees that it may be difficult to prove damages with reasonable certainty, that it may be difficult to procure suitable substitute performance, and that injunctive relief and/or specific performance will not cause an undue hardship to the parties hereto. Each of the parties hereto hereby further
6
EXECUTION COPY
acknowledges that the existence of any other remedy contemplated by this Agreement does not diminish the availability of specific performance of the obligations hereunder or any other injunctive relief. Each party hereto hereby further agrees that in the event of any action by any other party for specific performance or injunctive relief, such party will not assert that a remedy at law or other remedy would be adequate or that specific performance or injunctive relief in respect of such breach or violation should not be available on the grounds that money damages are adequate or any other grounds
Section 3.4 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of Delaware applicable to contracts executed in and to be performed in that State. Any Proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, be heard and determined exclusively in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware; provided, that if jurisdiction is not available in such court, then any such legal Proceeding may be brought in any federal court located in the State of Delaware or any other Delaware state court. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, the parties hereto hereby (i) irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts for themselves and with respect to their respective properties for the purpose of any Proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby brought by any party hereto, and (ii) agree not to commence any such Proceeding except in the courts described above in Delaware, other than any Proceeding in any court of competent jurisdiction to enforce any judgment, decree or award rendered by any such court in Delaware as described herein. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, each of the parties hereto further agrees that notice as provided herein shall constitute sufficient service of process and the parties hereto further waive any argument that such service is insufficient. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion or as a defense, counterclaim or otherwise, in any Proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, (x) any claim that such party is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the courts in Delaware as described herein for any reason, (y) that such party or such party’s property is exempt or immune from jurisdiction of any such court or from any legal process commenced in such courts (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise) and (z) that (A) the Proceeding in any such court is brought in an inconvenient forum, (B) the venue of such Proceeding is improper or (C) this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, or the subject matter hereof, may not be enforced in or by such courts. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. EACH PARTY HERETO CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (I) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE EITHER OF SUCH WAIVERS, (II) IT UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF SUCH WAIVERS, (III) IT MAKES SUCH WAIVERS VOLUNTARILY AND (IV) IT HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVER AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.
Section 3.5 Assignment. This Agreement and all of the provisions hereof will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs, successors and permitted assigns. Except by a Stockholder in connection with a transfer of Shares permitted by Section 1.1 herein, neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder will be assigned (including by operation of Law) without the prior written consent of the parties hereto.

Section 3.6 Amendment; Waiver; Severability. This Agreement may not be amended, changed, supplemented, waived or otherwise modified or terminated, except upon the execution and delivery of a written agreement executed by the parties to this Agreement. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law, or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.
