Change in Control and Severance Agreement by and between Berkeley Lights and Siddhartha Kadia

This Change in Control and Severance Agreement (the “Agreement”) is made and entered into by and between Siddhartha Kadia, PhD (“Executive”) and Berkeley Lights, Inc. (the “Company”), effective as of the date Executive commences employment with the Company (the “Effective Date”).

A.The Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) recognizes that the possibility of an acquisition of the Company or an involuntary termination can be a distraction to Executive and can cause Executive to consider alternative employment opportunities. The Board has determined that it is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to assure that the Company will have the continued dedication and objectivity of Executive, notwithstanding the possibility, threat or occurrence of such an event.

B.The Board believes that it is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to provide Executive with an incentive to continue Executive’s employment and to motivate Executive to maximize the value of the Company upon a Change in Control (as defined below) for the benefit of its stockholders.

C.The Board believes that it is imperative to provide Executive with severance benefits upon certain terminations of Executive’s service to the Company that enhance Executive’s financial security and provide incentive and encouragement to Executive to remain with the Company notwithstanding the possibility of such an event.

D.Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used in this Agreement are defined in Section 9 below.

1.Term of Agreement. This Agreement shall become effective as of the Effective Date and terminate upon the date that all obligations of the parties hereto with respect to this Agreement have been satisfied.

2.At-Will Employment. The Company and Executive acknowledge that Executive’s employment is and shall continue to be “at-will,” as defined under applicable law. Except as provided in Section 5 below, if Executive’s employment terminates for any reason, Executive shall not be entitled to any severance payments, benefits or compensation other than as provided in this Agreement.

3.Covered Termination Outside a Change in Control Period. If Executive experiences a Covered Termination outside a Change in Control Period, then, subject to (i) Executive delivering to

the Company an executed general release of all claims against the Company and its affiliates in a form approved by the Company (a “Release of Claims”) that becomes effective and irrevocable in accordance with Section 14(a)(v) below, or such shorter period of time specified by the Company, following such Covered Termination and (ii) Executive’s continued compliance with Section 12 below, then in addition to any accrued but unpaid salary, benefits, vacation and expense reimbursements through the Termination Date payable in accordance with applicable law, the Company shall provide Executive with the following:

(b)Target Bonus. Executive shall be entitled to receive an amount equal to twelve

(12) months of Executive’s target annual bonus as if achievement of performance goals at one hundred percent (100%) of target had occurred at the rate in effect immediately prior to the Termination Date (disregarding any reduction to base salary or target annual bonus in the prior 12 months), payable in a cash lump sum, less applicable withholdings, on the first payroll date following the date the Release of Claims becomes effective and irrevocable in accordance with Section 14(a)(v) below.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) if any plan pursuant to which such benefits are provided is not, or ceases prior to the expiration of the period of continuation coverage to be, exempt from the application of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, (the “Code”) under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(a)(5), or (ii) the Company is otherwise unable to continue to cover Executive under its group health plans without penalty under applicable law (including without limitation, Section 2716 of the Public Health Service Act), then, in either case, an amount equal to each remaining Company subsidy shall thereafter be paid to Executive in substantially equal monthly installments. After the Company ceases to pay premiums pursuant to this Section 3(b), Executive may, if eligible, elect to continue healthcare coverage at Executive’s expense in accordance with the provisions of COBRA. Executive shall notify the Company immediately if Executive becomes covered by a group health plan of a subsequent employer.

(a)Severance. During the period of time commencing on the Termination Date and ending on the eighteen (18) month anniversary of the Termination Date, the Company shall continue to pay Executive his base salary at the rate in effect immediately prior to the Termination Date (disregarding any reduction to base salary in the prior 12 months). Such payments shall be made in accordance with the Company’s standard payroll practices, less applicable withholdings, beginning on the first payroll date following the date the Release of Claims becomes effective and irrevocable in accordance with Section 14(a)(v) below, and with the first installment including any amounts that would have been paid had the Release of Claims been effective and irrevocable on the Termination Date.

(b)Target Bonus.

(c)Continued Healthcare. If Executive timely elects to receive continued healthcare coverage pursuant to the provisions of COBRA, the Company each calendar month shall directly pay, or reimburse Executive for, the Company’s portion of the premium (at the same rates in effect on the Termination Date) for Executive and Executive’s covered dependents through the earlier of (i) the eighteen (18) month anniversary of the Termination Date and (ii) the date Executive and Executive’s covered dependents, if any, become eligible for healthcare coverage under another employer’s plan(s). Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) if any plan pursuant to which such benefits are provided is not, or ceases prior to the expiration of the period of continuation coverage to be, exempt from the application of Section 409A of the Code under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(a)(5), or (ii) the Company is otherwise unable to continue to cover Executive under its group health plans without penalty under applicable law (including without limitation, Section 2716 of the Public Health Service Act), then, in either case, an amount equal to each remaining Company subsidy shall thereafter be paid to Executive in substantially equal monthly installments. After the Company ceases to pay premiums pursuant to this Section 4(c), Executive may, if eligible, elect to continue healthcare coverage at Executive’s expense in accordance with the provisions of COBRA. Executive shall notify the Company immediately if Executive becomes covered by a group health plan of a subsequent employer.

(d)Equity Awards. Each outstanding and unvested equity award (excluding any such awards that vest in whole or in part based on the attainment of performance-vesting conditions), including, without limitation, each restricted stock, stock option, restricted stock unit and stock

appreciation right, held by Executive shall automatically become vested and, if applicable, exercisable and any forfeiture restrictions or rights of repurchase thereon shall immediately lapse with respect to one hundred percent (100%) of the shares subject thereto (excluding any such awards that vest in whole or in part based on the attainment of performance-vesting conditions, which shall be governed by the terms of the applicable award agreement), as of immediately prior to the Termination Date. To give effect to the foregoing, upon the Termination Date, (i) the vested portion of such equity awards shall be remain outstanding and/or be exercisable for the period(s) of time set forth in the applicable equity award agreements, (ii) Executive’s outstanding equity awards shall cease vesting, and (iii) the unvested shares subject to Executive’s outstanding equity awards shall remain outstanding (but unvested) until the earlier to occur of (A) the original expiration date of the equity award and (B) ninety (90) day anniversary of the Date of Termination (the “Equity Award Period”). In the event a Change in Control has not been consummated by end of the Equity Award Period, then the unvested portion of Executive’s equity awards shall terminate immediately without further action as of such date. For avoidance of doubt, any unvested time based service vesting conditions for any performance- vesting award shall be deemed satisfied and vested on the Termination Date.

5.Certain Reductions. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company shall reduce Executive’s severance benefits under this Agreement, in whole or in part, by any other severance benefits, pay in lieu of notice, or other similar benefits payable to Executive by the Company in connection with Executive’s termination, including but not limited to payments or benefits pursuant to (a) any applicable legal requirement, including, without limitation, the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act, or (b) any other Company agreement, arrangement, policy or practice relating to Executive’s termination of employment with the Company (but, for the avoidance of doubt, excluding any cash bonus payable to Executive under Section 4(c)(ii) of the Employment Agreement upon a Change in Control); provided, however, that nothing in this Section shall cause Executive to receive severance benefits in the aggregate that are less than the payments and benefits set forth in Sections 3 or 4 hereof, as applicable. The benefits provided under this Agreement are intended to satisfy, to the greatest extent possible, any and all statutory obligations that may arise out of Executive’s termination of employment. Such reductions shall be applied on a retroactive basis, with severance benefits paid first in time being recharacterized as payments pursuant to the Company’s statutory obligation.

6.Deemed Resignation. Upon termination of Executive’s service for any reason, Executive shall be deemed to have resigned from all offices and directorships, if any, then held with the Company or any of its affiliates, and, at the Company’s request, Executive shall execute such documents as are necessary or desirable to effectuate such resignations.

7.Other Terminations. If Executive’s employment with the Company terminates for any reason other than due to a Covered Termination, then Executive shall not be entitled to any benefits hereunder other than accrued but unpaid salary, vacation and expense reimbursements through the Termination Date in accordance with applicable law and to elect any continued healthcare coverage as may be required under COBRA or similar state law.

8.Limitation on Payments. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if any payment or distribution Executive would receive pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise (“Payment”) would (a) constitute a “parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the

Code and (b) but for this sentence, be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”), then such Payment shall either be (i) delivered in full, or (ii) delivered as to such lesser extent which would result in no portion of such Payment being subject to the Excise Tax, whichever of the foregoing amounts, taking into account the applicable federal, state and local income taxes and the Excise Tax, results in the receipt by Executive on an after-tax basis, of the largest payment, notwithstanding that all or some portion the Payment may be taxable under Section 4999 of the Code. The Company will select an adviser (which is not providing any services to the Company’s acquirer) with experience in performing calculations regarding the applicability of Section 280G of the Code and the Excise Tax, provided, that the adviser’s determination shall be made based upon “substantial authority” within the meaning of Section 6662 of the Code to perform the foregoing calculations. The Company shall bear all expenses with respect to the determinations by such adviser required to be made hereunder. The adviser shall provide its calculations to the Company and Executive within fifteen (15) calendar days after the date on which Executive’s right to a Payment is triggered (if requested at that time by the Company or Executive) or such other time as requested by the Company. Any good faith determinations of the adviser made hereunder shall be final, binding and conclusive upon the Company and Executive. Any reduction in payments or benefits pursuant to this Section 8 will occur in the following order: (1) reduction of cash payments; (2) cancellation of accelerated vesting of equity awards other than stock options; (3) cancellation of accelerated vesting of stock options; and (4) reduction of other benefits payable to Executive.

(a)“Cause” means the occurrence of any of the following: (i) Executive’s commission of any felony or other crime, in each case involving moral turpitude; (ii) Executive’s commission of any other act or omission involving fraud or intentional deceit with respect to the Company or any of its affiliates; (iii) any act or omission by Executive involving dishonesty that causes material injury to the Company or any of its affiliates; (iv) willful misconduct by Executive with respect to the Company or any of its subsidiaries; (v) any material breach of a fiduciary duty owed by Executive to the Company or its stockholders or Executive’s material contractual breach of this Agreement or any other agreement referred to herein (including the Confidential Information Agreement); or (vi) Executive’s willful continued failure to perform assigned duties consistent with his position after receiving written notification of the failure from the Company (and provided that the mere failure to attain performance objectives shall not constitute Cause). The determination that a termination of Executive’s employment is either for Cause or without Cause shall be made by the Board, in its reasonable good faith judgment. The Board shall provide Executive with written notice detailing the basis for the termination of employment for Cause. If the basis for Cause is curable, during the 30 day period after Executive has received such notice, Executive shall have an opportunity to cure or remedy such alleged Cause events and to present his case to the full Board (with the assistance of his own counsel).

(b)“Change in Control” has the meaning ascribed to such term under the Company’s 2020 Incentive Award Plan, as amended; provided, that such transaction must also constitute a “change in control event” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A- 3(i)(5).

If the Company cures the Good Reason condition during the Cure Period, Good Reason shall be deemed not to have occurred.

(b)Withholding. The Company shall be entitled to withhold from any amounts payable under this Agreement any federal, state, local, or foreign withholding or other taxes or charges which the Company is required to withhold.

(c)Waiver. No provision of this Agreement shall be modified, waived or dis- charged unless the modification, waiver or discharge is agreed to in writing and signed by Executive and by an authorized member of the Company (other than Executive). No waiver by either party of any breach of, or of compliance with, any condition or provision of this Agreement by the other party shall be considered a waiver of any other condition or provision or of the same condition or provision at another time.

(d)Whole Agreement.

(e)Choice of Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity and interpretation of this Agreement will be governed by the laws of the State of California without regard to its conflicts of law provisions.

(f)Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement will be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law or rule in any jurisdiction, such invalidity or unenforceability will not affect any other provision or any other jurisdiction, but this Agreement will be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such invalid or unenforceable provisions had never been contained herein.

(g)Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in separate counterparts, any one of which need not contain signatures of more than one party, but all of which taken together will constitute one and the same Agreement.

This General Release of Claims (“Release”) is entered into as of    , 20 , between Siddhartha Kadia, PhD (“Executive”) and Berkeley Lights, Inc.
