General Principles

Section 2.1. Nature of Liabilities. All Liabilities assumed or retained by a member of the Illumina Group under this Agreement shall be Illumina Liabilities. All Liabilities assumed or retained by a member of the GRAIL Group under this Agreement shall be GRAIL Liabilities.

(a) From and after the Effective Time, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, Illumina shall, or shall cause one or more members of the Illumina Group to, accept, assume (or, as applicable, retain) and perform, discharge and fulfill: (i) all Liabilities under all Illumina Benefit Arrangements, whenever incurred; (ii) all Liabilities with respect to the employment, service, termination of employment or termination of service of all Illumina Employees and their respective dependents and beneficiaries (and any alternate payees in respect thereof), whenever incurred; (iii) all Liabilities with respect to all Illumina Former Employees and their respective dependents and beneficiaries (and any alternate payees in respect thereof) to the extent such Liabilities are with respect to employment or service to the Illumina Group or the termination of such employment or service with the Illumina Group, whenever incurred; and (iv) all other Liabilities or obligations expressly assigned to or assumed by a member of the Illumina Group under this Agreement.

5

(b) From and after the Effective Time, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, GRAIL shall, or shall cause one or more members of the GRAIL Group to, accept, assume (or, as applicable, retain) and perform, discharge and fulfill: (i) all Liabilities under all GRAIL Benefit Arrangements, whenever incurred; (ii) all Liabilities with respect to the employment, service, termination of employment or termination of service of all GRAIL Employees, and their respective dependents and beneficiaries (and any alternate payees in respect thereof), whenever incurred; (iii) all Liabilities with respect to all GRAIL Former Employees and their respective dependents and beneficiaries (and any alternate payees in respect thereof) to the extent such Liabilities are with respect to employment or service to the GRAIL Group or the termination of such employment or service with the GRAIL Group, whenever incurred; and (iv) all other Liabilities or obligations expressly assigned to or assumed by a member of the GRAIL Group under this Agreement.

(c) The Parties shall promptly reimburse one another, upon reasonable request of the Party requesting reimbursement and the presentation by such Party of such substantiating documentation as the other Party shall reasonably request, for the cost of any obligations or Liabilities satisfied or assumed by the Party requesting reimbursement or its Affiliates that are, or that have been made pursuant to this Agreement, the responsibility of the other Party or any of its Affiliates.

Section 2.3. Collective Bargaining Agreements. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Illumina and GRAIL shall, to the extent required by applicable Law, take or cause to be taken all actions that are necessary (if any) for GRAIL or a member of the GRAIL Group to continue to maintain and comply, in each case, as applicable, with any Collective Bargaining Agreements and any pre-existing collective bargaining relationships (in each case including obligations that arise in respect of the period both before and after the date of employment by the GRAIL Group) in respect of any GRAIL Employees based in the United Kingdom and any applicable Employee Representatives. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to alter the provisions of any applicable Collective Bargaining Agreement or modify in any way the obligations of the GRAIL Group to any applicable Employee Representative or any other Person as described in such agreement.

Section 2.4. Information and Consultation. The Parties shall comply with all requirements and obligations to inform, consult or otherwise notify any Illumina Employees or GRAIL Employees or Employee Representatives in relation to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Separation Agreement, whether required pursuant to any Collective Bargaining Agreement or other applicable Law.

6

Section 2.5. Non-Acceleration; Non-Termination of Employment. Except as otherwise required by applicable Law (if any), neither this Agreement, the Separation Agreement nor any Ancillary Agreement shall or shall be construed so as to create any right (other than rights to receive Converted GRAIL Awards) or accelerate any entitlement to any compensation or benefit on the part of any GRAIL Employee, GRAIL Former Employee, Illumina Employee or Illumina Former Employee. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, except as otherwise required by applicable Law, none of the transactions contemplated by or undertaken pursuant to this Agreement, the Separation Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement shall (i) cause any individual to be deemed to have incurred a termination of employment, (ii) have created any entitlement to any severance payments or benefits or the commencement of any compensation or benefits under any GRAIL Benefit Arrangement or Illumina Benefit Arrangement or (iii) constitute or give rise to an “employment loss” or employment separation within the meaning of the federal Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act (WARN) of 1988 (the “WARN Act”), or any other foreign, federal, state or local Law or other legal requirement addressing mass employment separations.

Section 2.6. No Transfer of Assets. Nothing in this Agreement shall require any member of the Illumina Group or any Illumina Benefit Arrangement to transfer Assets or reserves with respect to the Illumina Benefit Arrangements to any member of the GRAIL Group or any GRAIL Benefit Arrangement or require any member of the GRAIL Group or any GRAIL Benefit Arrangement to transfer Assets or reserves with respect to the GRAIL Benefit Arrangements to any member of the Illumina Group or any Illumina Benefit Arrangement.

ARTICLE III

Equity Incentive Awards

Section 3.1. GRAIL Stock Plan. Effective on or before the Distribution Date, subject to the approval of Illumina and the Illumina Board (or any duly authorized committee thereof), GRAIL shall establish and adopt an equity compensation plan for the benefit of the GRAIL Group following the Distribution Date (the “GRAIL Stock Plan”). For the avoidance of doubt, the GRAIL Group shall not be permitted to grant any equity-based incentive compensation awards pursuant to the GRAIL Stock Plan or otherwise prior to the Distribution Date without Illumina’s prior written consent.

Section 3.2. GRAIL LTIP Award Valuation. Effective as of immediately prior to the Illumina RSU Conversion (as defined below), the Aggregate Award Value for each then outstanding and unvested portion of the GRAIL LTIP Award shall be adjusted in accordance with Section 1(b) of the applicable LTIP Award Agreement, with the Equity Value Percentage Change determined based on (a) an Equity Value that is equal to GRAIL’s average market capitalization determined by reference to the volume weighted average per share price of GRAIL Stock for the four trading days immediately following the Distribution Date, multiplied by the shares of GRAIL Stock outstanding, in each case, as reported by Bloomberg L.P., compared to (b) the Baseline Equity Value; provided that, for purposes of the foregoing, the Baseline Equity Value shall be deemed to be equal to the aggregate equity value of GRAIL as of the applicable Grant Date as reflected in the consolidated financial statements of Illumina and its consolidated Subsidiaries included or

7

incorporated by reference in the materials filed or furnished, as applicable, with the SEC by Illumina for the fiscal quarter in which such Grant Date occurred. For the avoidance of doubt, the date on which the conversion described in the immediately preceding sentence occurs shall be a Quarterly Measurement Date.

Section 3.3. Illumina RSU Conversion. Effective as of immediately prior to the Distribution, each then outstanding and unvested portion of the GRAIL LTIP Award shall be converted (such conversion, including the proviso below, the “Illumina RSU Conversion”) into an award of restricted stock units with respect to Illumina Stock (each, a “Converted Cash Award”) in accordance with Section 2(a) of the applicable LTIP Award Agreement, with the number of shares of Illumina Stock subject to each Converted Cash Award equal to the product of (a) the applicable Aggregate Award Value (as determined in Section 3.2) divided by (b) the closing price of Illumina Stock on the date of the Illumina RSU Conversion; provided that, with respect to the portion of the Converted Cash Award that has a regularly scheduled vesting date (based on the original vesting date set forth in the applicable LTIP Award Agreement without accounting for any accelerated vesting entitlements under any GRAIL Benefit Arrangement) after the Distribution Date but on or before December 31, 2024, the number of shares of Illumina Stock subject to such portion shall be adjusted, to the extent such adjustment would result in an increase, following the conversion described above in order to be equal to (i) one-fourth of the Aggregate Award Value of the applicable GRAIL LTIP Award, determined as of the applicable Grant Date (i.e., without applying any Equity Value Percentage Change since the Grant Date, including that provided for in Section 3.2) divided by (ii) the closing price of Illumina Stock on the date of the Illumina RSU Conversion. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing calculation shall be rounded up to the nearest whole restricted stock unit.

Section 3.4. GRAIL RSU Conversion.

(a) Converted Cash Award. Effective as of the Distribution, each Converted Cash Award shall be equitably adjusted in accordance with Section 15(a) of the Illumina LTIP by converting such Converted Cash Award into an award of restricted stock units with respect to GRAIL Stock (each, a “Converted GRAIL RSU”), with the number of shares of GRAIL Stock subject to each Converted GRAIL RSU equal to the product, rounded to the nearest whole share, of (a) the number of shares of Illumina Stock subject to such Converted Cash Award as of immediately prior to the Distribution and (b) the GRAIL RSU Conversion Ratio. All other terms and conditions of the Converted GRAIL RSUs, including vesting and payment timing terms, shall be the terms and conditions that applied to the applicable Converted Cash Award.

(b) GRAIL 2024 Cash-Based Incentive Award. Effective as of the Distribution, each then outstanding and unvested portion of each GRAIL 2024 Cash-Based Incentive Award shall be converted into an award of restricted stock units with respect to GRAIL Stock (each, a “Converted GRAIL 2024 Cash-Based Incentive Award”), with the number of shares of GRAIL Stock subject to each Converted GRAIL 2024 Cash-Based Incentive Award determined in accordance with Section 2 of the applicable 2024 Cash-Based Incentive Award Agreement.

8

Section 3.5. Option Awards. Effective as of the Distribution, each Illumina Option Award held as of immediately prior to the Distribution by any GRAIL Employee, whether vested or unvested, shall be converted into an option to purchase shares of GRAIL Stock (a “Converted GRAIL Option”), with the number of shares of GRAIL Stock subject to the Converted GRAIL Option equal to the product, rounded down to the nearest whole share, of (a) the number of shares of Illumina Stock subject to such Illumina Option Award as of immediately prior to the Distribution and (b) the GRAIL Option Conversion Ratio. Each Converted GRAIL Option shall have a per-share exercise price equal to (i) the per-share exercise price of the corresponding Illumina Option Award divided by (ii) the GRAIL Option Conversion Ratio, rounded up to the nearest cent. All other terms and conditions of the Converted GRAIL Options, including vesting terms, shall be the terms and conditions that applied to the applicable Illumina Option Award.

Section 3.6. Miscellaneous. For the avoidance of doubt, each Converted GRAIL RSU, Converted GRAIL 2024 Cash-Based Incentive Award and Converted GRAIL Option shall take into account (and count as continued employment or service) all employment and service with both Illumina and GRAIL, and their respective Subsidiaries and Affiliates, for purposes of determining when such awards vest and terminate. The GRAIL Group shall be solely responsible for all Liabilities with respect to the GRAIL Stock Plan and the Converted GRAIL RSUs, Converted GRAIL 2024 Cash-Based Incentive Award and Converted GRAIL Options. The Parties shall take all actions reasonably necessary or appropriate so that the GRAIL LTIP Awards, GRAIL 2024 Cash-Based Incentive Awards and the equity-based incentive compensation awards granted under the Illumina LTIP, in each case, outstanding as of immediately prior to the Distribution shall be treated as set forth in this Article III. The adjustment or conversion of any equity-based incentive compensation award pursuant to Sections 3.4 and 3.5 shall be effectuated in a manner that is intended to preserve the economic value of the award on the Distribution Date (after giving effect to Sections 3.2 and 3.3) and to comply with applicable Law and avoid the imposition of any penalty or other taxes on the holders thereof pursuant to Code Section 409A or otherwise, and shall be interpreted in accordance with the foregoing intent for all purposes.

ARTICLE IV

Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation

Section 4.1. Treatment of Illumina Non-Qualified Plans. The Illumina Group shall retain sponsorship of each Illumina Non-Qualified Plan and all Assets and Liabilities arising out of or relating to such Illumina Non-Qualified Plan, including those relating to GRAIL Employees (to the extent accrued and vested under the terms of the applicable plans). Following the Distribution Date, GRAIL shall notify Illumina of any “separation from service” under Section 409A of the Code of the GRAIL Employee who participates in an Illumina Non-Qualified Plan, as promptly as practicable but in no event later than thirty (30) days thereafter, and shall promptly provide to Illumina any other relevant information reasonably requested by Illumina for purposes of administering payments pursuant to the Illumina Non-Qualified Plans to such GRAIL Employee. In the event of a subsequent acquisition, divestiture, spinoff or other corporate transaction involving the GRAIL Group that is not treated as a “separation from service” under an Illumina Non-Qualified Plan, GRAIL shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure comparable cooperation from the successor employer.

9

Section 4.2. No Separation from Service. The Parties acknowledge that none of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Separation Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement shall be treated as a “separation from service” for purposes of the Illumina Non-Qualified Plans for any participant therein.

ARTICLE V

Additional Matters

Section 5.1. Code Section 409A. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the Tax Matters Agreement to the contrary, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith regarding the need for any treatment different from that otherwise provided herein with respect to the payment of compensation to ensure that the treatment of such compensation does not cause the imposition of a Tax under Section 409A of the Code. In no event, however, shall any Party be liable to another in respect of any Taxes imposed under, or any other costs or Liabilities relating to, Section 409A of the Code.

Section 5.2. Confidentiality. Article VI of the Separation Agreement is hereby incorporated into this Agreement mutatis mutandis.

Section 5.3. Tax Deductions. The Illumina Group shall be solely entitled to claim any income Tax deduction arising after the Effective Time with respect to any payment or benefit under any Illumina Benefit Arrangement. The GRAIL Group shall be solely entitled to claim any income Tax deduction arising after the Effective Time with respect to any payment or benefit under any GRAIL Benefit Arrangement.

ARTICLE VI

General And Administrative

Section 6.1. Employer Rights. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to be an amendment to any Illumina Benefit Arrangement or GRAIL Benefit Arrangement or to prohibit Illumina, GRAIL, or any member of the Illumina Group or GRAIL Group, as the case may be, from amending, modifying or terminating any Illumina Benefit Arrangement or GRAIL Benefit Arrangement at any time within its sole discretion.

Section 6.2. Effect on Employment. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to or shall confer upon any Illumina Employee, Illumina Former Employe, GRAIL Employee, or GRAIL Former Employee or any other employee or service provider of Illumina, the Illumina Group, GRAIL or the GRAIL Group any right to continued employment, continued service, or any recall or similar rights to any such individual on layoff or any type of approved leave.

10

Section 6.3. Consent of Third Parties. If any provision of this Agreement is dependent on the consent of any third party and such consent is withheld, the Parties shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to implement the applicable provisions of this Agreement to the fullest extent practicable. If any provision of this Agreement cannot be implemented due to the failure of such third party to consent, the Parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to implement the provision (as applicable) in a mutually satisfactory manner.

Section 6.4. Access to Employees. On and after the Effective Time, Illumina and GRAIL shall, or shall cause each of their respective Affiliates to, make available to each other those of their employees who may reasonably be needed in order to defend or prosecute any legal or administrative action (other than a legal action between Illumina and GRAIL) to which any employee or director of the Illumina Group or the GRAIL Group or any Illumina Benefit Arrangement or GRAIL Benefit Arrangement is a party and which relates to an Illumina Benefit Arrangement or GRAIL Benefit Arrangement. The Party to whom an employee is made available in accordance with this Section 6.4 shall pay or reimburse the other Party for all reasonable expenses which may be incurred by such employee in connection therewith, including all reasonable travel, lodging, and meal expenses, but excluding any amount for such employee’s time spent in connection herewith.

Section 6.5. Beneficiary Designation/Release of Information/Right to Reimbursement. To the extent permitted by applicable Law and except as otherwise provided for in this Agreement, all beneficiary designations, authorizations for the release of information and rights to reimbursement made by or relating to GRAIL Employees or GRAIL Former Employees under Illumina Benefit Arrangements shall be transferred to and be in full force and effect under the corresponding GRAIL Benefit Arrangements until such beneficiary designations, authorizations or rights are replaced or revoked by, or no longer apply, to the relevant GRAIL Employee or GRAIL Former Employee.

Section 6.6. No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is solely for the benefit of the Parties and, except to the extent otherwise expressly provided herein, nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer any rights, benefits, remedies, obligations or Liabilities under this Agreement upon any Person, including any GRAIL Employee, GRAIL Former Employee, Illumina Employee, Illumina Former Employee or other current or former employee, officer, director or contractor of the Illumina Group or GRAIL Group, other than the Parties and their respective successors and assigns.

Section 6.7. No Acceleration of Benefits. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, no provision of this Agreement shall be construed to create any right, or accelerate vesting or entitlement, to any compensation or benefit whatsoever on the part of any GRAIL Employee, GRAIL Former Employee, Illumina Employee, Illumina Former Employee or other former, current or future employee of the Illumina Group or GRAIL Group under any Illumina Benefit Arrangement or GRAIL Benefit Arrangement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, neither the Separation nor the Distribution shall cause any individual to be deemed to have incurred a termination of employment or to have

11

created any entitlement to any severance payments or benefits or the commencement of any benefits under any Illumina Benefit Arrangement or GRAIL Benefit Arrangement. Neither the Separation nor the Distribution shall constitute a “change in control” (or term of similar meaning) for purposes of any Illumina Benefit Arrangement or any GRAIL Benefit Arrangement.

Section 6.8. Employee Benefits Administration. At all times following the date hereof, the Parties will cooperate in good faith as necessary to facilitate the administration of employee benefits and the resolution of related employee benefit claims with respect to GRAIL Employees, including with respect to the provision of employee-level information necessary for the other Party to manage, administer, finance and file required reports with respect to such administration.
