Standard BioTools Inc. 2020 Change of Control and Severance Plan Participation Agreement

Standard BioTools Inc. (the “Company”) is pleased to inform you that you have been selected to participate in the Company’s 2020 Change of Control and Severance Plan (the “Plan”) as a Participant.

A copy of the Plan was delivered to you with this Participation Agreement. Your participation in the Plan is subject to all of the terms and conditions of the Plan. The capitalized terms used but not defined herein will have the meanings ascribed to them in the Plan.

In order to actually become a participant in the Plan, you must complete and sign this Participation Agreement.

Definition of “Good Reason”

“Good Reason” means the occurrence of one or more of the following events effected without your prior consent, provided you terminate your employment with the Company within one (1) year following the initial existence of the “Good Reason” condition (discussed below): (i) the assignment to you of any duties or the reduction of your then-current duties, either of which results in a material diminution in your then-current position or responsibilities with the Company including, without limitation, any negative change in reporting hierarchy involving you or the person to whom you directly report; (ii) a material reduction by the Company in your then- current base salary; (iii) a material change in the geographic location at which you must perform services (for purposes of this Participation Agreement, your relocation to a facility or a location less than 25 miles from your then-present location shall not be considered a material change in geographic location); or (iv) any material breach by the Company of any material provision of this Participation Agreement. You will not resign for Good Reason without first providing the Company with written notice of the acts or omissions constituting the grounds for “Good Reason” within 90 days of the initial existence of the grounds for “Good Reason” and a reasonable cure period of not less than 30 days following the date of such notice.

Non-COC Involuntary Termination

If, outside of the Change of Control Period, you incur a Non-COC Involuntary Termination, then subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, you will receive:

1.      Cash Severance Benefits. An aggregate amount equal to 75% of your annual base salary in effect as of the date of your Non-COC Involuntary Termination paid in equal installments over a period of nine (9) months following your termination date.

2.      Continued Medical Benefits. Payment by the Company of continued health coverage under COBRA for a period of nine (9) months following your termination of employment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if you are not employed in the United States, the benefit under this paragraph will be a regional equivalent to COBRA determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion.

3.      Outplacement Services. Outplacement services as described in Section 4.3 of the Plan.

COC Involuntary Termination

If, during the Change of Control Period, you incur a COC Involuntary Termination, then subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, you will receive:

1.      Cash Severance Benefits.

2.      Continued Medical Benefits. Payment by the Company of continued health coverage under COBRA for a period of 18 months following your termination of employment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if you are not employed in the United States, the benefit under this paragraph will be a regional equivalent to COBRA determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion.

3.      Equity Award Vesting Acceleration. 100% of your then-outstanding and unvested Equity Awards will become vested in full. If, however, an outstanding Equity Award is to vest and/or the amount of the award to vest is to be determined based on the achievement of performance criteria, then, unless expressly otherwise provided in the applicable Equity Award agreement, the Equity Award will vest as to 100% of the “Baseline Number of Restricted Stock Units” or “Baseline Number of Performance Units” (as defined in the Company’s grant agreements) or the equivalent measure of the number of units or shares that vest at 100% of target levels of achievement under the relevant Equity Award. Except otherwise provided in the applicable Equity Award agreement, shares owed upon such vesting (and exercise if applicable) of Equity Awards will issued to you as promptly as practicable and no more than 30 days after they become issuable (whether through the vesting acceleration alone or upon an exercise of options following such vesting acceleration). Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the payment or settlement of an Equity Award is subject to Section 409A, the Equity Award will be paid or settled in a manner that will meet the

requirements of Section 409A such that the payment or settlement will not be subject to the additional tax or interest applicable under Section 409A.

4.      Outplacement Services. Outplacement services as described in Section 5.4 of the Plan.

Additional Benefits

In addition to the foregoing benefits, in addition to the Plan benefits described above, if, during the Change of Control Period, you incur a COC Involuntary Termination, then subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, the Company will reimburse your reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in connection with the review of the Release and any related separation agreements and documents, up to $5,000.

General Provisions

For clarity, any severance payments provided for herein that are based on annual base salary (and any reduction to base salary constituting “Good Reason”) shall be calculated without giving effect to any temporary reduction in base salary imposed by the Company or agreed to by you in connection with any global pandemic or comparable global or U.S. emergency that threatens the Company’s economic position.

In order to receive any Severance Benefits for which you otherwise become eligible under the Plan, you must sign and deliver to the Company the Release, which must have become effective and irrevocable within the requisite period set forth in the Plan.
