AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER AND REORGANIZATION

THIS AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER AND REORGANIZATION (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of March 16, 2017, by and among THRESHOLD PHARMACEUTICALS, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Threshold”), TROJAN MERGER SUB, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub”), and MOLECULAR TEMPLATES, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Molecular”). Threshold, Merger Sub and Molecular may each be referred to herein individually as a “Party” and collectively as the “Parties.” Certain capitalized terms used in this Agreement are defined in Exhibit A.

RECITALS

A. Threshold and Molecular intend to effect a merger of Merger Sub into Molecular (the “Merger”) in accordance with this Agreement and the DGCL. Upon consummation of the Merger, Merger Sub will cease to exist, and Molecular will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Threshold.

B. The Parties intend, by approving resolutions authorizing this Agreement, to adopt this Agreement as a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.368-2(g), and to cause the Merger to qualify as a reorganization under the provisions of Section 368(a) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder.

C. The Threshold Board of Directors (i) has determined that the Merger is fair to, and in the best interests of, Threshold and the Threshold Stockholders, (ii) has deemed advisable and approved this Agreement, the Merger, the Threshold Stockholder Matters, and other actions contemplated by this Agreement; and (iii) has determined to recommend that the Threshold Stockholders vote to approve the Threshold Stockholder Matters.

D. The board of directors of Merger Sub (i) has determined that the Merger is fair to, and in the best interests of, Merger Sub and its sole stockholder, (ii) has deemed advisable and approved this Agreement, the Merger, and the applicable Contemplated Transactions, and (iii) has determined to recommend that the stockholder of Merger Sub vote to adopt this Agreement and thereby approve the Merger and the applicable Contemplated Transactions.

E. The Molecular Board of Directors (i) has determined that the Merger is advisable and fair to, and in the best interests of, Molecular and the Molecular Stockholders, (ii) has deemed advisable and approved the Molecular Stockholder Matters and other actions contemplated by this Agreement, and (iii) has determined to recommend that the Molecular Stockholders vote to adopt this Agreement and thereby approve the Molecular Stockholder Matters.

F. In order to induce Threshold to enter into this Agreement and to cause the Merger to be consummated, the officers and directors of Molecular and the Molecular Stockholders, in each case, listed on Schedule A hereto are executing concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement support agreements in favor of Threshold in the form substantially attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Molecular Stockholder Support Agreements”).

G. In order to induce Molecular to enter into this Agreement and to cause the Merger to be consummated, the officers and directors of Threshold and the Threshold Stockholders, in

each case, listed on Schedule B hereto are executing support agreements in favor of Molecular concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement in the form substantially attached hereto as Exhibit C (the “Threshold Stockholder Support Agreements”).

H. It is expected that within five (5) Business Days after the Form S-4 Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC under the Securities Act, Molecular will deliver the Molecular Stockholder Written Consent.

I. As a condition to the willingness of, and an inducement to Threshold to enter into this Agreement, contemporaneously with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, each of the Molecular Lock-up Signatories is entering into a lock-up agreement, in the form substantially attached hereto as Exhibit D (the “Molecular Lock-up Agreements”).

J. As a condition to the willingness of, and an inducement to Molecular to enter into this Agreement, contemporaneously with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, each of the Threshold Lock-up Signatories is entering into a lock-up agreement, in the form substantially attached hereto as Exhibit E (the “Threshold Lock-up Agreements”).

K. In order to induce Threshold to enter into this Agreement and to cause the Merger to be consummated, the Parties intend that, after consummation of the Contemplated Transactions, Threshold and Molecular shall use commercially reasonable efforts to continue to support the clinical trial of Threshold’s drug candidate TH-302 (“Evofosfamide”) titled “A Phase I Immunotherapy Study of Evofosfamide in Combination with Ipilimumab in Patients with Advanced Solid Malignancies,” to be conducted at The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center (the “Evofosfamide Clinical Trial”).

L. Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, and as a condition of the willingness of Molecular to enter into this Agreement, Threshold has provided certain bridge financing to Molecular pursuant to a Note Purchase Agreement between Threshold and Molecular (each promissory note issued thereunder, a “Threshold Note” and collectively, the “Threshold Notes”).

AGREEMENT

The parties to this Agreement, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

Article 1. DESCRIPTION OF TRANSACTION

Structure of the Merger. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement and in accordance with the DGCL, at the Effective Time, (a) Merger Sub shall be merged with and into Molecular, and (b) the separate existence of Merger Sub shall cease and Molecular will continue its corporate existence under the DGCL as the surviving corporation in the Merger (the “Surviving Corporation”).

Effects of the Merger. The Merger shall have the effects set forth in this Agreement and in the applicable provisions of the DGCL. As a result of the Merger, Molecular will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Threshold.

Closing; Effective Time. Unless this Agreement is earlier terminated pursuant to the provisions of Section 9.1, and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article 6, Article 7 and Article 8, the closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) shall take place at the offices of Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman LLP, Four Embarcadero Center, 22^nd Floor, San Francisco, California, as promptly as practicable (but in no event later than the second Business Day following the satisfaction or waiver of the last to be satisfied or waived of the conditions set forth in Article 6, Article 7 and Article 8, other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of each of such conditions), or at such other time, date and place as Threshold and Molecular may mutually agree in writing. The date on which the Closing actually takes place is referred to as the “Closing Date.” At the Closing, the Parties hereto shall cause a certificate of merger (the “Certificate of Merger”) to be executed, acknowledged and filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware in accordance with the applicable requirements of the DGCL and shall make all other filings or recordings required under the DGCL. The Merger will become effective at such time as the Certificate of Merger has been duly filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware or at such later time as may be specified in such Certificate of Merger with the consent of Threshold and Molecular (the time as of which the Merger becomes effective being referred to as the “Effective Time”).

Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws; Directors and Officers. At the Effective Time:

(a) the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation shall be amended and restated in its entirety to read as set forth in Exhibit F until thereafter amended as provided by the DGCL and such certificate of incorporation;

(b) the certificate of incorporation of Threshold shall be the certificate of incorporation of Threshold immediately prior to the Effective Time, until thereafter amended as provided by the DGCL and such certificate of incorporation; provided, however, that at the Effective Time, Threshold shall file one or more amendments to its certificate of incorporation, to the extent approved by the holders of Threshold Common Stock as contemplated by Section 5.3, to (i) change the name of Threshold to “Molecular Templates, Inc.,” (ii) effect the Reverse Split, (iii) increase the authorized shares of Threshold Common Stock, to the extent requested by Molecular prior to the filing with the SEC of the Proxy Statement / Prospectus / Information Statement and agreed to by the Parties prior to the date of this Agreement, and (iv) make such other changes as are mutually agreeable to Threshold and Molecular;

(c) the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation shall be amended and restated in their entirety to read identically to the bylaws of Merger Sub as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, until thereafter amended in accordance with the terms of such bylaws, the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation and the DGCL;

(d) the directors and officers of Threshold, each to hold office in accordance with the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of Threshold, shall be agreed to by the Parties prior to the filing with the SEC of the Proxy Statement / Prospectus / Information Statement and shall consist of seven members which shall include two members of the Threshold Board of Directors as of the date of this Agreement.

(e) the directors and officers of the Surviving Corporation, each to hold office in accordance with the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation, shall be agreed to by the Parties prior to the filing with the SEC of the Proxy Statement / Prospectus / Information Statement.

Conversion of Molecular Securities.(a) At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any further action on the part of Threshold, Merger Sub, Molecular or any Molecular Stockholder:

(i) each share of Molecular Common Stock or Molecular Preferred Stock held as treasury stock or held or owned by Molecular, Threshold, or Merger Sub, immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor; and

(ii) subject to Section 1.5(c), each share of Molecular Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (excluding shares to be canceled pursuant to Section 1.5(a)(i) and Dissenting Shares, and after giving effect to the Preferred Stock Conversion and conversion of Molecular Warrants and Molecular Convertible Notes into Series C Preferred Stock and Series C-1 Preferred Stock, respectively) shall be converted solely into the right to receive a number of shares of Threshold Common Stock equal to the Exchange Ratio (the “Merger Consideration”).

(b) If any shares of Molecular Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time are unvested or are subject to a repurchase option or the risk of forfeiture under any applicable restricted stock purchase agreement or other agreement with Molecular, then the shares of Threshold Common Stock issued in exchange for such shares of Molecular Common Stock will to the same extent be unvested and subject to the same repurchase option or risk of forfeiture, and the book-entry shares of Threshold Common Stock shall accordingly be marked with appropriate legends. Molecular shall take all actions that may be necessary to ensure that, from and after the Effective Time, Threshold is entitled to exercise any such repurchase option or other right set forth in any such restricted stock purchase agreement or other agreement.

(c) No fractional shares of Threshold Common Stock shall be issued in connection with the Merger, and no certificates or scrip for any such fractional shares shall be issued. Any holder of Molecular Common Stock who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fraction of a share of Threshold Common Stock (after aggregating all fractional shares of Threshold Common Stock issuable to such holder) shall, in lieu of such fraction of a share and upon surrender by such holder of a letter of transmittal in accordance with Section 1.8 and accompanying documents as required therein, be paid in cash the dollar amount (rounded to the nearest whole cent), without interest, determined by multiplying such fraction by the closing price of a share of Threshold Common Stock on The NASDAQ Capital Market (or such other NASDAQ market on which the Threshold Common Stock then trades) on the date the Merger becomes effective.

(d) All Molecular Options outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time under the 2009 Plan shall be assumed by Threshold and converted into options to purchase Threshold Common Stock, as applicable, in accordance with Section 5.5.

(e) Each share of common stock, $0.001 par value per share, of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and exchanged for one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, $0.001 par value per share, of the Surviving Corporation. Each stock certificate of Merger Sub evidencing ownership of any such shares shall, as of the Effective Time, evidence ownership of such shares of common stock of the Surviving Corporation.

(f) If, between the time of calculating the Exchange Ratio and the Effective Time, the outstanding shares of Molecular Capital Stock or Threshold Common Stock have been changed into, or exchanged for, a different number of shares or a different class, by reason of any stock dividend, subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, split (including the Reverse Split to the extent such split has not been previously taken into account in calculating the Exchange Ratio), combination or exchange of shares, the Exchange Ratio shall be correspondingly adjusted to provide the holders of Molecular Common Stock, Molecular Options and Molecular Warrants the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such event.

(g) Molecular Warrants shall be treated in accordance with the terms of the relevant agreement governing such Molecular Warrants. Prior to the Effective Time, Threshold and Molecular shall deliver notice of the Contemplated Transactions to the holders of Molecular Warrants in accordance with the terms of the relevant agreement governing such Molecular Warrants. Immediately prior to the Effective Time, each Molecular Warrant shall, depending on the Exchange Ratio, either (i) automatically be deemed exercised and converted into shares of Molecular Series C Preferred without any action on the part of the holder thereof, or (ii) expire.

(h) Molecular Convertible Notes shall be treated in accordance with the terms of the relevant agreement governing Molecular Convertible Notes.

(i) Prior to the Closing, Molecular shall satisfy all notification and consent requirements, as applicable, under the terms of the Molecular Loan and Security Agreement.

1.6 Calculation of Net Cash.

(a) For the purposes of this Agreement, the “Determination Date” shall be the date that is 10 calendar days prior to the anticipated date for Closing, as agreed upon by Threshold and Molecular at least 10 calendar days prior to the Threshold Stockholders’ Meeting (the “Anticipated Closing Date”). On or prior to the Determination Date, Threshold shall provide Molecular with a list of all Liabilities as of the Determination Date that are individually in excess of $100,000 or in excess of $250,000 in the aggregate, which had not previously been disclosed to Molecular in the Threshold Disclosure Schedule. Within five calendar days following the Determination Date, Threshold shall deliver to Molecular a schedule (the “Net Cash Schedule”) setting forth, in reasonable detail, Threshold’s good faith, estimated calculation of Net Cash (using an estimate of Threshold’s accounts payable and accrued expenses, in each case as of the Anticipated Closing Date and determined in a manner substantially consistent with the manner in

which such items were determined for Threshold’s most recent SEC filings) (the “Net Cash Calculation”) as of the Anticipated Closing Date prepared and certified by Threshold’s CFO (or if there is no CFO, the principal accounting officer for Threshold). Threshold shall make the work papers and back-up materials used or useful in preparing the Net Cash Schedule, as reasonably requested by Molecular, available to Molecular and, if requested by Molecular, its accountants and counsel at reasonable times and upon reasonable notice.

(b) Within three calendar days after Threshold delivers the Net Cash Schedule (the “Response Date”), Molecular will have the right to dispute any part of such Net Cash Schedule by delivering a written notice to that effect to Threshold (a “Dispute Notice”). Any Dispute Notice shall identify in reasonable detail the nature of any proposed revisions to the Net Cash Calculation.

(c) If on or prior to the Response Date, (i) Molecular notifies Threshold in writing that it has no objections to the Net Cash Calculation or (ii) Molecular fails to deliver a Dispute Notice as provided in Section 1.6(b), then the Net Cash Calculation as set forth in the Net Cash Schedule shall be deemed to have been finally determined for purposes of this Agreement and to represent the Net Cash at the Anticipated Closing Date for purposes of this Agreement.

(d) If Molecular delivers a Dispute Notice on or prior to the Response Date, then Representatives of Threshold and Molecular shall promptly meet and attempt in good faith to resolve the disputed item(s) and negotiate an agreed-upon determination of Net Cash, which agreed upon Net Cash amount shall be deemed to have been finally determined for purposes of this Agreement and to represent the Net Cash at the Anticipated Closing Date for purposes of this Agreement.

(e) If Representatives of Threshold and Molecular are unable to negotiate an agreed-upon determination of Net Cash at the Anticipated Closing Date pursuant to Section 1.6(d) within three calendar days after delivery of the Dispute Notice (or such other period as Threshold and Molecular may mutually agree upon), then Threshold and Molecular shall jointly select an independent auditor of recognized national standing (the “Accounting Firm”) to resolve any remaining disagreements as to the Net Cash Calculation. Threshold shall promptly deliver to the Accounting Firm the work papers and back-up materials used in preparing the Net Cash Schedule, and Threshold and Molecular shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Accounting Firm to make its determination within 10 calendar days of accepting its selection. Molecular and Threshold shall be afforded the opportunity to present to the Accounting Firm any material related to the unresolved disputes and to discuss the issues with the Accounting Firm; provided, however, that no such presentation or discussion shall occur without the presence of a Representative of each of Molecular and Threshold. The determination of the Accounting Firm shall be limited to the disagreements submitted to the Accounting Firm. The determination of the amount of Net Cash made by the Accounting Firm shall be deemed to have been finally determined for purposes of this Agreement and to represent the Net Cash at the Anticipated Closing Date for purposes of this Agreement, and the Parties shall delay the Closing until the resolution of the matters described in this Section 1.6(e). The fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be allocated between Threshold and Molecular in the same proportion that the disputed amount of the Net Cash that was unsuccessfully disputed by such Party (as finally determined by the Accounting Firm) bears to the total disputed amount of the Net Cash amount (and for the avoidance of doubt the fees and expenses to be paid by Threshold shall reduce the Net Cash). If this Section 1.6(e) applies as to

the determination of the Net Cash at the Anticipated Closing Date described in Section 1.6(a), upon resolution of the matter in accordance with this Section 1.6(e), the Parties shall not be required to determine Net Cash again even though the Closing Date may occur later than the Anticipated Closing Date, except that either Party may request a re-determination of Net Cash if the Closing Date is more than five Business Days after the Anticipated Closing Date.

Closing of Molecular’s Transfer Books. At the Effective Time: (a) all shares of Molecular Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (after giving effect to the Preferred Stock Conversion) shall be treated in accordance with Section 1.5(a), and all holders of certificates representing shares of Molecular Capital Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights as Molecular Stockholders; and (b) the stock transfer books of Molecular shall be closed with respect to all shares of Molecular Capital Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. No further transfer of any such shares of Molecular Capital Stock shall be made on such stock transfer books after the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, a valid certificate previously representing any shares of Molecular Capital Stock, including any valid certificate representing any shares of Molecular Preferred Stock previously converted into shares of Molecular Common Stock in connection with the Preferred Stock Conversion, outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (a “Molecular Stock Certificate”) is presented to the Exchange Agent or to the Surviving Corporation, such Molecular Stock Certificate shall be canceled and shall be exchanged as provided in Section 1.5 and Section 1.8.

1.8 Surrender of Certificates.

(a) On or prior to the Closing Date, Threshold and Molecular shall agree upon and select a reputable bank, transfer agent or trust company to act as exchange agent in the Merger (the “Exchange Agent”). At the Effective Time, Threshold shall deposit with the Exchange Agent: (i) the aggregate number of book-entry shares representing the Merger Consideration issuable to Molecular Stockholders pursuant to Section 1.5(a) and (ii) cash sufficient to make payments in lieu of fractional shares in accordance with Section 1.5(c). The book-entry shares of Threshold Common Stock and cash amounts so deposited with the Exchange Agent, together with any dividends or distributions received by the Exchange Agent with respect to such shares, are referred to collectively as the “Exchange Fund.”

(b) Promptly after the Effective Time, the Parties shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail to the Persons who were record holders of Molecular Stock Certificates immediately prior to the Effective Time, as set forth on the Allocation Certificate: (i) a letter of transmittal in customary form; and (ii) instructions for effecting the surrender of Molecular Stock Certificates in exchange for book-entry shares of Threshold Common Stock. Upon surrender of a Molecular Stock Certificate to the Exchange Agent for exchange, together with a duly executed letter of transmittal and such other documents as may be reasonably required by the Exchange Agent: (A) the holder of such Molecular Stock Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor one or more book-entry shares representing the portion of the Merger Consideration (in a number of whole shares of Threshold Common Stock) that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to the provisions of Section 1.5(a) (and cash in lieu of any fractional share of Threshold Common Stock pursuant to the provisions of Section 1.5(c)); and (B) upon delivery of such consideration to the applicable holder in accordance with Section 1.5, the Molecular Stock Certificate so

surrendered shall be canceled. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 1.8(b), each Molecular Stock Certificate shall be deemed, from and after the Effective Time, to represent only the right to receive shares of Threshold Common Stock (and cash in lieu of any fractional share of Threshold Common Stock). If any Molecular Stock Certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed, Threshold may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the delivery of any shares of Threshold Common Stock, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed Molecular Stock Certificate to provide an applicable affidavit with respect to such Molecular Stock Certificate and post a bond indemnifying Threshold against any claim suffered by Threshold related to the lost, stolen or destroyed Molecular Stock Certificate or any Threshold Common Stock issued in exchange therefor as Threshold may reasonably request.

(c) No dividends or other distributions declared or made with respect to Threshold Common Stock with a record date after the Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Molecular Stock Certificate with respect to the shares of Threshold Common Stock that such holder has the right to receive in the Merger until such holder surrenders such Molecular Stock Certificate or an affidavit of loss or destruction in lieu thereof in accordance with this Section 1.8 (at which time such holder shall be entitled, subject to the effect of applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar laws, to receive all such dividends and distributions, without interest).

(d) Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains undistributed to holders of Molecular Stock Certificates six months after the Closing Date shall be delivered to Threshold upon demand, and any holders of Molecular Stock Certificates who have not theretofore surrendered their Molecular Stock Certificates in accordance with this Section 1.8 shall thereafter look only to Threshold for satisfaction of their claims for Threshold Common Stock, cash in lieu of fractional shares of Threshold Common Stock and any dividends or distributions with respect to shares of Threshold Common Stock.

(e) Each of the Exchange Agent, Threshold and the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any consideration deliverable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of any Molecular Stock Certificate such amounts as are required to be deducted or withheld from such consideration under the Code or under any other applicable Legal Requirement and shall be entitled to request any reasonably appropriate Tax forms, including an IRS Form W-9 (or the appropriate IRS Form W-8, as applicable), from any recipient of payments hereunder. To the extent such amounts are so deducted or withheld, and remitted to the appropriate Tax authority, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been paid to the Person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid.

(f) No party to this Agreement shall be liable to any holder of any Molecular Stock Certificate or to any other Person with respect to any shares of Threshold Common Stock (or dividends or distributions with respect thereto) or for any cash amounts delivered to any public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property law, escheat law or similar Legal Requirement.

(ii) promptly notify Molecular in writing of: (A) the discovery by Threshold of any event, condition, fact or circumstance that occurred or existed on or prior to the date of this Agreement and that caused or constitutes an inaccuracy in any representation or warranty made by Threshold in this Agreement in a manner that causes the condition set forth in Section 8.1 not to be satisfied; (B) any event, condition, fact or circumstance that occurs, arises or exists after the date of this Agreement and that would cause or constitute an inaccuracy in any representation or warranty made by Threshold in this Agreement in a manner that causes the condition set forth in Section 8.1 not to be satisfied if: (1) such representation or warranty had been made as of the time of the occurrence, existence or discovery of such event, condition, fact or circumstance; or (2) such event, condition, fact or circumstance had occurred, arisen or existed on or prior to the date of this Agreement; (C) any breach of any covenant or obligation of Threshold in a manner that causes the condition set forth in Section 8.2 not to be satisfied; and (D) any event, condition, fact or circumstance that would reasonably be expected to make the timely satisfaction of any of the conditions set forth in Article 6, Article 7, or Article 8 impossible or materially less likely. No notification given to Molecular pursuant to this Section 4.4(a) shall change, limit or otherwise affect any of the representations, warranties, covenants or obligations of Threshold contained in this Agreement or the Threshold Disclosure Schedule for purposes of Section 8.1.

4.5 No Solicitation.

(a) Each Party agrees that neither it nor any of its Subsidiaries shall, nor shall it nor any of its Subsidiaries authorize or permit any of the Representatives retained by it or any of its Subsidiaries to directly or indirectly, other than with respect to Threshold, as necessary to communicate, discuss, negotiate or consummate the Potentially Transferable Assets Dispositions: (i) solicit, initiate, respond to or take any action knowingly to facilitate or encourage any inquiries or the communication, making, submission or announcement of any Acquisition Proposal or Acquisition Inquiry or take any action that could reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal or Acquisition Inquiry; (ii) enter into or participate in any discussions or negotiations with any Person with respect to any Acquisition Proposal or Acquisition Inquiry; (iii) furnish any information regarding such Party to any Person in connection with, in response to, relating to or for the purpose of assisting with or facilitating an Acquisition Proposal or Acquisition Inquiry; (iv) approve, endorse or recommend any Acquisition Proposal (subject to Sections 5.2 and 5.3); (v) execute or enter into any letter of intent or similar document or any Contract contemplating or otherwise relating to any Acquisition Transaction other than a confidentiality agreement permitted under Section 4.5(b) (an “Acquisition Agreement”); or (vi) grant any waiver or release under any confidentiality, standstill or similar agreement (other than to the other Party) provided, that, each Party may grant such waiver or release under any confidentiality, standstill or similar agreement to a third party if the Board of Directors of such Party determines in good faith based on the advice of outside legal counsel, that the failure to take such action would reasonably constitute a breach of the fiduciary duties of the Board of Directors of such Party under applicable Legal Requirements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to Threshold, the subjects of any communications, discussions or negotiations, or the furnishing of information, in each case in connection with the Potentially Transferable Assets Dispositions pursuant to clauses (i) through (vii) in the preceding sentence shall be limited to information that is reasonably related to the Potentially Transferable Assets and, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not include any non-public information regarding (x) Threshold’s other assets, businesses or operations or (y) the Contemplated Transactions.

(b) Notwithstanding anything contained in Section 4.5(b), prior to receipt of the Required Molecular Stockholder Vote, in the case of Molecular, or the Required Threshold Stockholder Vote, in the case of Threshold, (i) such Party may enter into discussions or negotiations with, any Person that has made (and not withdrawn) a bona fide, unsolicited, Acquisition Proposal, which such Party’s Board of Directors determines in good faith, after consultation with its independent financial advisor, if any, and its outside legal counsel, constitutes, or would reasonably be expected to result in, a Superior Offer, and (ii) thereafter furnish to such

Person non-public information regarding such Party pursuant to an executed confidentiality agreement containing provisions (including nondisclosure provisions, use restrictions, non-solicitation provisions, no hire provisions and “standstill” provisions) at least as favorable to such Party as those contained in the Confidentiality Agreement, but in each case of the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), only if: (A) neither such Party nor any Representative of such Party has breached this Section 4.5; (B) the Board of Directors of such Party determines in good faith based on the advice of outside legal counsel, that the failure to take such action would reasonably constitute a breach of the fiduciary duties of the Board of Directors of such Party under applicable Legal Requirements; (C) at least 24 hours prior to furnishing any such non-public information to, or entering into discussions with, such Person, such Party gives the other Party written notice of the identity of such Person and of such Party’s intention to furnish nonpublic information to, or enter into discussions with, such Person; and (D) at least 24 hours prior to furnishing any such non-public information to such Person, such Party furnishes such non-public information to Molecular or Threshold, as applicable (to the extent such non-public information has not been previously furnished by such Party to Molecular or Threshold, as applicable). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Party acknowledges and agrees that, in the event any Representative of such Party (whether or not such Representative is purporting to act on behalf of such Party) takes any action that, if taken by such Party, would constitute a breach of this Section 4.5 by such Party, the taking of such action by such Representative shall be deemed to constitute a breach of this Section 4.5 by such Party for purposes of this Agreement.

(c) If any Party or any Representative of such Party receives an Acquisition Proposal or Acquisition Inquiry at any time during the Pre-Closing Period, then such Party shall promptly (and in no event later than 24 hours after such Party becomes aware of such Acquisition Proposal or Acquisition Inquiry) advise the other Party orally and in writing of such Acquisition Proposal or Acquisition Inquiry (including the identity of the Person making or submitting such Acquisition Proposal or Acquisition Inquiry, and the terms thereof). Such Party shall keep the other Party fully informed, on a current basis, in all material respects with respect to the status and terms of any such Acquisition Proposal or Acquisition Inquiry and any modification or proposed modification thereto. In addition to the foregoing, each Party shall provide the other Party with at least five Business Days’ written notice of a meeting of its board of directors (or any committee thereof) at which its board of directors (or any committee thereof) is reasonably expected to consider an Acquisition Proposal or Acquisition Inquiry it has received.

(d) Each Party shall and shall cause its respective Representatives to, cease immediately and cause to be terminated, and shall not authorize or knowingly permit any of its or their Representatives to continue, any and all existing activities, discussions or negotiations, if any, with any third party conducted prior to the date hereof with respect to any Acquisition Proposal and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause any such third party (or its Representatives) in possession of non-public information in respect of such Party or its Subsidiaries that was furnished by or on behalf of such Party or its Subsidiaries to return or destroy (and confirm destruction of) all such information.

Potentially Transferable Assets. Threshold shall be entitled, but under no obligation, to sell, transfer, license, assign or otherwise divest the Potentially Transferable Assets for fair market value to a nonaffiliated third party in a bona fide arm’s length transaction that does not require any post-disposition expenditures or payments by Threshold, except for commercially

reasonable indemnification obligations (each a “Potentially Transferable Asset Disposition” and collectively, the “Potentially Transferable Assets Dispositions”); provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply to any Potentially Transferable Asset Disposition (whether alone or in combination with any other Potentially Transferable Assets Dispositions) that constitutes a sale of substantially all assets of Threshold for purposes of Section 271 of the DGCL. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Merger and the other Contemplated Transactions shall not be delayed by or conditioned upon any Potentially Transferable Asset Disposition. Each Party acknowledges that Threshold may not be successful in completing, or may determine not to proceed, with any Potentially Transferable Assets Dispositions. For clarity, if the Potentially Transferable Assets Dispositions are not completed prior to the Effective Time, the Potentially Transferable Assets shall be retained by Threshold.

Each Party shall promptly furnish to the other Party all information concerning such Party and such Party’s subsidiaries and such Party’s stockholders that may be required or reasonably requested in connection with any action contemplated by this Section 5.1. If any event relating to Molecular

occurs, or if Molecular becomes aware of any information, that should be disclosed in an amendment or supplement to the Form S-4 Registration Statement or the Proxy Statement / Prospectus/ Information Statement, then Molecular shall promptly inform Threshold thereof and shall cooperate fully with Threshold in filing such amendment or supplement with the SEC and, if appropriate, in mailing such amendment or supplement to the stockholders of Threshold and Molecular.

(d) Prior to the Effective Time, Threshold shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all regulatory approvals needed to ensure that the Threshold Common Stock to be issued in the Merger (to the extent required) be registered or qualified or exempt from registration or qualification under the securities law of every jurisdiction of the United States in which any registered holder of Molecular Capital Stock has an address of record on the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote pursuant to the Molecular Stockholder Written Consent; provided, however, that Threshold shall not be required: (i) to qualify to do business as a foreign corporation in any jurisdiction in which it is not now qualified; or (ii) to file a general consent to service of process in any jurisdiction.

(e) Molecular shall reasonably cooperate with Threshold and provide Threshold, and require its Representatives to provide, Threshold and its Representatives, advisors, accountants and attorneys, with all true, correct and complete information regarding Molecular that is required by Legal Requirement to be included in the Form S-4 Registration Statement or reasonably requested from Molecular to be included in the Form S-4 Registration Statement. Prior to filing of the Form S-4 Registration Statement, Threshold (and Merger Sub) and Molecular shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to execute and deliver to Cooley LLP (“Cooley”) and to Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman LLP (“Pillsbury”) the applicable “Tax Representation Letters” referenced in Section 5.11(c).

(b) Molecular agrees that, subject to Section 5.2(c): (i) the Molecular Board of Directors shall recommend that Molecular Stockholders vote to approve the Molecular Stockholder Matters (the “Molecular Board Recommendation”) and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to solicit such approval within the time set forth in Section 5.2(a); and (ii) (A) the Molecular Board Recommendation shall not be withdrawn or modified in a manner adverse to Threshold, and no resolution by the Molecular Board of Directors or any committee thereof to withdraw or modify the Molecular Board Recommendation in a manner adverse to Threshold shall be adopted or proposed and (B) the Molecular Board of Directors shall not recommend any Acquisition Transaction (collectively a “Molecular Board Adverse Recommendation Change”).

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time prior to the receipt of the Required Molecular Stockholder Vote, the Molecular Board of Directors may make a Molecular Board Adverse Recommendation Change, if: (i) the Molecular Board of Directors has received an Acquisition Proposal that the Molecular Board of Directors has determined in its good faith judgment, after consultation with Molecular’s outside legal counsel, constitutes a Superior Offer or (ii) as a result of a material development or change in circumstances (other than an Acquisition Proposal) that affects the business, assets or operations of Molecular that occurs or arises after the date of this Agreement (a “Molecular Intervening Event”), the Molecular Board of Directors determines in its good faith judgment, after consultation with Molecular’s outside legal counsel, that the failure to make a Molecular Board Adverse Recommendation Change would reasonably constitute a breach of its fiduciary obligations under applicable Legal Requirements; provided, however, that prior to Molecular taking any action permitted under this Section 5.2(c), (A) in the case of a Superior Offer, (1) Molecular must promptly notify Threshold, in writing, at least five Business Days (the “Notice Period”) before making a Molecular Board Adverse Recommendation Change, of its intention to take such action with respect to a Superior Offer, which notice shall state expressly that Molecular has received an Acquisition Proposal that the Molecular Board of Directors intends to declare a Superior Offer and that the Molecular Board of Directors intends to make a Molecular Board Adverse Recommendation Change, and (2) Molecular attaches to such notice the most current version of the proposed agreement (which version shall be updated on a prompt basis) and the identity of the third party making such Superior Offer; or (B) in the case of a Molecular Intervening Event, Molecular promptly notifies Threshold, in writing, within the Notice Period before making a Molecular Board Adverse Recommendation Change, which notice shall state expressly the material facts and circumstances related to the applicable Molecular Intervening Event and that the Molecular Board of Directors intends to make a Molecular Adverse Recommendation Change.

(d) Unless the Molecular Board of Directors has effected a Molecular Board Adverse Recommendation Change in accordance with Section 5.2(c), Molecular’s obligation to solicit the consent of its stockholders to sign the Molecular Stockholder Written Consent in accordance with Section 5.2(a) shall not be limited or otherwise affected by the commencement, disclosure, announcement or submission of any Superior Offer or other Acquisition Proposal, or by any withdrawal or modification of the Molecular Board Recommendation.

5.3 Threshold Stockholders’ Meeting.

(a) Promptly after the Form S-4 Registration Statement has been declared effective by the SEC under the Securities Act, Threshold shall: (i) take all action necessary under

applicable Legal Requirements to call, give notice of and hold a meeting of the holders of Threshold Common Stock for the purpose of seeking approval of (A) the issuance of shares of Threshold Common Stock to the Molecular Stockholders pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, (B) if requested by Molecular prior to the filing with the SEC of the Proxy Statement / Prospectus / Information Statement, the amendment of Threshold’s certificate of incorporation to increase the authorized shares of Threshold Common Stock, (C) the amendment of Threshold’s Certificate of Incorporation to effect the Reverse Split, (D) the amendment of Threshold’s certificate of incorporation to effect the name change of Threshold, (E) if requested by Molecular prior to the filing with the SEC of the Proxy Statement / Prospectus / Information statement, adoption of a new equity incentive plan and/or an employee stock purchase plan, with share reserve amounts recommended by the Molecular Board of Directors or a committee thereof, and (F) in accordance with Section 14A of the Exchange Act and the applicable SEC rules issued thereunder, seeking advisory approval of a proposal to the Threshold Stockholders for a non-binding, advisory vote to approve certain compensation that may become payable to Threshold’s named executed officers in connection with the completion of the Merger, if applicable (the matters contemplated by the foregoing clauses (A)–(F), collectively, the “Threshold Stockholder Matters”); and (ii) mail to the Threshold Stockholders as of the record date established for stockholders’ meeting of Threshold, the Proxy Statement / Prospectus / Information Statement; provided, however, that in no event shall such meeting take place more than 60 calendar days after the date the S-4 Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC (such meeting, the “Threshold Stockholders’ Meeting”).

(b) Threshold agrees that, subject to Section 5.3(c): (i) the Threshold Board of Directors shall recommend that the holders of Threshold Common Stock vote to approve the Threshold Stockholder Matters; (ii) the Proxy Statement / Prospectus / Information Statement shall include a statement to the effect that the Threshold Board of Directors recommends that Threshold Stockholders vote to approve the Threshold Stockholder Matters (the “Threshold Board Recommendation”); (iii) the Threshold Board of Directors shall use commercially reasonable efforts to solicit such approval within the timeframe set forth in Section 5.3(a) above; and (iv) (A) the Threshold Board Recommendation shall not be withdrawn or modified in a manner adverse to Molecular, and no resolution by the Threshold Board of Director or any committee thereof to withdraw or modify the Threshold Board Recommendation in a manner adverse to Molecular shall be adopted or proposed and (B) the Threshold Board of Directors shall not recommend any Acquisition Transaction (collectively a “Threshold Board Adverse Recommendation Change”).

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time prior to the receipt of the Required Threshold Stockholder Vote, the Threshold Board of Directors may make a Threshold Board Adverse Recommendation Change, if: (i) the Threshold Board of Directors has received an Acquisition Proposal that the Threshold Board of Directors has determined in its good faith judgment, after consultation with Threshold’s outside legal counsel, constitutes a Superior Offer or (ii) as a result of a material development or change in circumstances (other than an Acquisition Proposal) that affects the business, assets or operations of Threshold that occurs or arises after the date of this Agreement (a “Threshold Intervening Event”), the Threshold Board of Directors determines in its good faith judgment, after consultation with Threshold’s outside legal counsel, that the failure to make a Threshold Board Adverse Recommendation Change would reasonably constitute a breach of its fiduciary obligations under applicable Legal Requirements; provided, however, that prior to Threshold taking any action permitted under this Section 5.3(c), (A) in the

case of a Superior Offer, (1) Threshold must promptly notify Molecular, in writing, within the Notice Period before making a Threshold Board Adverse Recommendation Change, of its intention to take such action with respect to a Superior Offer, which notice shall state expressly that Threshold has received an Acquisition Proposal that the Threshold Board of Directors intends to declare a Superior Offer and that the Threshold Board of Directors intends to make a Threshold Board Adverse Recommendation Change, and (2) Threshold attaches to such notice the most current version of the proposed agreement (which version shall be updated on a prompt basis) and the identity of the third party making such Superior Offer; or (B) in the case of a Threshold Intervening Event, Threshold promptly notifies Molecular, in writing, within the Notice Period before making a Threshold Board Adverse Recommendation Change, which notice shall state expressly the material facts and circumstances related to the applicable Threshold Intervening Event and that the Threshold Board of Directors intends to make a Threshold Adverse Recommendation Change.

(d) Unless the Threshold Board of Directors has effected a Threshold Board Adverse Recommendation Change in accordance with Section 5.3(c), Threshold’s obligation to call, give notice of and hold the Threshold Stockholders’ Meeting in accordance with Section 5.3(a) shall not be limited or otherwise affected by the commencement, disclosure, announcement or submission of any Superior Offer or Acquisition Proposal, or by any withdrawal or modification of the Threshold Board Recommendation.

(e) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prohibit Threshold or its Board of Directors from (i) taking and disclosing to the Threshold Stockholders a position as contemplated by Rule 14e-2(a) under the Exchange Act or complying with the provisions of Rule 14d-9 under the Exchange Act (other than Rule 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act), (ii) making any disclosure to the Threshold Stockholders if the Threshold Board of Directors determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that the failure to make such disclosure would reasonably constitute a breach of its fiduciary obligations under applicable Legal Requirements, and (iii) making a “stop, look and listen” communication to the Threshold Stockholders pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act, provided, however, that (A) in the case of each of the foregoing clauses “(i)” and “(ii),” any such disclosure or public statement shall be deemed to be a Threshold Board Adverse Recommendation Change subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement unless the Threshold Board of Directors reaffirms the Threshold Board Recommendation in such disclosure or public statement or within five Business Days of such disclosure or public statement; (B) in the case of clause “(iii),” any such disclosure or public statement shall be deemed to be a Threshold Board Adverse Recommendation Change subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement unless the Threshold Board of Directors reaffirms the Threshold Board Recommendation in such disclosure or public statement or within 10 Business Days of such disclosure or public statement; and (C) Threshold shall not affect a Threshold Board Adverse Recommendation Change unless specifically permitted pursuant to the terms of Section 5.3(c).

5.4 Regulatory Approvals.

(a) Each Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions necessary to comply promptly with all Legal Requirements that may be imposed on such Party with respect to the Contemplated Transactions and, subject to the conditions set

forth in Article 6 hereof, to consummate the Contemplated Transactions, as promptly as practicable. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, each Party hereto agrees to file or otherwise submit, as soon as practicable after the date of this Agreement, but in no event later than 10 Business Days of the date hereof, all applications, notices, reports and other documents reasonably required to be filed by such Party with or otherwise submitted by such Party to any Governmental Body with respect to the Contemplated Transactions, and to submit promptly any additional information requested by any such Governmental Body. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Parties shall prepare and file, if and as required, (a) the Notification and Report Forms pursuant to the HSR Act and (b) any notification or other document to be filed in connection with the Merger under any applicable foreign Legal Requirement relating to antitrust or competition matters. Molecular and Threshold shall respond as promptly as is practicable to: (i) any reasonable requests received from the Federal Trade Commission or the Department of Justice for additional information or documentation; and (ii) any reasonable requests received from any state attorney general, competition authority or other Governmental Body in connection with antitrust or competition matters.

(b) Each of the Parties shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to (i) cooperate in all respects with each other in connection with timely making all required filings and submissions and timely obtaining all related consents, permits, authorizations or approvals pursuant to Section 5.4(a); and (ii) keep Molecular or Threshold, as applicable, informed in all material respects and on a reasonably timely basis of any communication received by such Party from, or given by such Party to, the Federal Trade Commission, the Department of Justice or any other Governmental Body relating to the Contemplated Transactions. Subject to applicable Legal Requirements relating to the exchange of information, each Party shall, to the extent practicable, give the other party reasonable advance notice of all material communications with any Governmental Body relating to the Contemplated Transactions and each Party shall have the right to attend or participate in material conferences, meetings and telephone or other communications between the other Parties and regulators concerning the Contemplated Transactions.

(c) Notwithstanding Sections 5.4(a) through 5.4(b) or any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall either Party be required to agree to (i) divest, license, hold separate or otherwise dispose of, encumber or allow a third party to utilize, any portion of its or their respective businesses, assets or contracts or (ii) take any other action that may be required or requested by any Governmental Body in connection with obtaining the consents, authorizations, orders or approvals contemplated by this Section 5.4 that, would have an adverse impact, in any material respect, on any of the Parties.

5.5 Molecular Options and Warrants.

(a) Subject to Section 5.5(c), at the Effective Time, each Molecular Option that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time under the 2009 Plan, whether or not vested, shall be assumed by Threshold and converted into an option to purchase Threshold Common Stock, and Threshold shall assume the 2009 Plan and each such Molecular Option in accordance with the terms (as in effect as of the date of this Agreement) of the 2009 Plan and the terms of the stock option agreement by which such Molecular Option is evidenced. All rights with respect to Molecular Common Stock under Molecular Options assumed by Threshold shall thereupon be converted into rights with respect to Threshold Common Stock. Accordingly,

from and after the Effective Time: (i) each Molecular Option assumed by Threshold may be exercised solely for shares of Threshold Common Stock; (ii) the number of shares of Threshold Common Stock subject to each Molecular Option assumed by Threshold shall be determined by multiplying (A) the number of shares of Molecular Common Stock that were subject to such Molecular Option, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, by (B) the Exchange Ratio and rounding the resulting number down to the nearest whole number of shares of Threshold Common Stock; (iii) the per share exercise price for the Threshold Common Stock issuable upon exercise of each Molecular Option assumed by Threshold shall be determined by dividing (A) the per share exercise price of Molecular Common Stock subject to such Molecular Option, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, by (B) the Exchange Ratio and rounding the resulting exercise price up to the nearest whole cent; and (iv) any restriction on the exercise of any Molecular Option assumed by Threshold shall continue in full force and effect and the term, exercisability, vesting schedule and other provisions of such Molecular Option shall otherwise remain unchanged; provided, however, that: (A) to the extent provided under the terms of a Molecular Option, such Molecular Option assumed by Threshold in accordance with this Section 5.5(a) shall, in accordance with its terms, be subject to further adjustment as appropriate to reflect any stock split, division or subdivision of shares, stock dividend, reverse stock split, consolidation of shares, reclassification, recapitalization or other similar transaction with respect to Threshold Common Stock subsequent to the Effective Time; and (B) the Threshold Board of Directors or a committee thereof shall succeed to the authority and responsibility of the Molecular Board of Directors or any committee thereof with respect to each Molecular Option assumed by Threshold. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.5(a), the conversion of each Molecular Option (regardless of whether such option qualifies as an “incentive stock option” within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code) into an option to purchase shares of Threshold Common Stock shall be made in a manner consistent with Treasury Regulation Section 1.424-1, such that the conversion of Molecular Option shall not constitute a “modification” of such Molecular Option for purposes of Section 409A or Section 424 of the Code.

(b) Threshold shall file with the SEC, no later than 30 calendar days after the Effective Time, a registration statement on Form S-8, if available for use by Threshold, relating to the shares of Threshold Common Stock issuable with respect to Molecular Options assumed by Threshold in accordance with Section 5.5(a).

(c) Prior to the Effective Time, Molecular shall take all actions that may be necessary (under the 2009 Plan, the Molecular Warrants and otherwise) to effectuate the provisions of this Section 5.5 and to ensure that, from and after the Effective Time, holders of Molecular Options and Molecular Warrants have no rights with respect thereto other than those specifically provided in this Section 5.5.

5.6 Threshold Employee and Benefits Matters.

(a) Effective immediately prior to the Closing Date, Threshold shall, and shall cause any of its Subsidiaries to, terminate the employment and service of each Threshold Associates (other than the Threshold directors) (the “Terminated Threshold Associates”) other than those employees which Molecular shall notify Threshold should not be terminated, such that neither Threshold nor any Threshold Subsidiary shall have any Threshold Associate in its employ or service as of the Effective Time other than those employees which Molecular has designated.

As a condition to payment of any Terminated Threshold Associate Payment to a Terminated Threshold Associate, Threshold will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain from each Terminated Threshold Associate an effective release of claims in a form approved by Molecular, with such release having become effective and irrevocable by its terms prior to the payment of any Terminated Threshold Associate Payment. Prior to the Closing, Threshold shall use commercially reasonable efforts to comply, in all material respects, with all of the requirements of the WARN Act and any applicable state Legal Requirement equivalent with respect to the Terminated Threshold Associates. Schedule 5.6(a) sets forth, with respect to each Terminated Threshold Associate, Threshold’s good faith estimate of the amount of all change of control payments, severance payments, termination or similar payments, retention payments, bonuses and other payments and benefits (including any COBRA costs), owed to or to be paid or provided to each Terminated Threshold Associate, and the amount by which any of such Terminated Threshold Associate’s compensation or benefits may be accelerated or increased, in each case, whether under any Threshold Employee Plan or otherwise, as a result of (i) the execution of this Agreement, (ii) the consummation of the Contemplated Transactions, or (iii) the termination of employment or service of such Terminated Threshold Associate (together, the “Terminated Threshold Associate Payments”). As soon as reasonably practicable after the Closing Date, Threshold shall cause all Terminated Threshold Associate Payments to be paid and satisfied in full such that Threshold, the Surviving Corporation, Molecular and any of their Affiliates shall not have any Liability with respect to the Terminated Threshold Associate on or following the Effective Time.

(b) Each Threshold Option held by a Terminated Threshold Associate shall continue to be exercisable in accordance with its terms, and each Threshold Option that is held by a Threshold Associate other than a Terminated Threshold Associate shall remain outstanding and shall continue to vest and be exercisable in accordance with its terms. Effective no later than the day immediately preceding the Closing Date, Threshold shall terminate (i) all Threshold Employee Plans that are “employee benefit plans” within the meaning of ERISA, including but not limited to any Threshold Employee Plans intended to include a Code Section 401(k) arrangement (each, a “Threshold 401(k) Plan”), and (ii) each other Threshold Employee Plan set forth on Schedule 5.6(b) attached hereto, provided, that, following the date of this Agreement, Molecular and Threshold shall reasonably discuss amendments to Schedule 5.6(b), amendments to which shall not be unreasonably denied. Threshold shall provide Molecular with evidence that such Threshold Employee Plan(s) have been terminated (effective no later than the day immediately preceding the Closing Date) pursuant to resolutions of the Threshold Board of Directors. The form and substance of such resolutions shall be subject to reasonable review and approval of Molecular. Threshold also shall take such other actions in furtherance of terminating such Threshold Employee Plan(s) as Molecular may reasonably require. In the event that termination of the Threshold 401(k) Plans would reasonably be anticipated to trigger liquidation charges, surrender charges or other fees then Threshold shall take such actions as are necessary to reasonably estimate the amount of such charges and/or fees and provide such estimate in writing to Molecular no later than 14 calendar days prior to the Closing Date.

(c) This Section 5.6 shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each of the parties to this Agreement. Nothing in this Section 5.6, express or implied, will (i) constitute or be treated as an amendment of any Threshold Employee Plan or Molecular Employee Plan (or an undertaking to amend any such plan), (ii) prohibit Threshold, any Threshold Affiliate, Molecular, or any Molecular Affiliate from amending, modifying or terminating any Threshold

Employee Plan or Molecular Employee Plan pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms thereof, or (iii) confer any rights or benefits on any Person other than Threshold and Molecular.

5.7 Indemnification of Officers and Directors.

(a) From the Effective Time through the sixth anniversary of the date on which the Effective Time occurs, each of Threshold and the Surviving Corporation shall, jointly and severally, indemnify and hold harmless each person who is now, or has been at any time prior to the date hereof, or who becomes prior to the Effective Time, a director or officer of Threshold or Molecular (the “D&O Indemnified Parties”), against all claims, losses, liabilities, damages, judgments, fines and reasonable fees, costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees and disbursements (collectively, “Costs”), incurred in connection with any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, arising out of or pertaining to the fact that the D&O Indemnified Party is or was a director or officer of Threshold or Molecular, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time, to the fullest extent permitted under the DGCL for directors or officers of Delaware corporations. Each D&O Indemnified Party will be entitled to advancement of expenses incurred in the defense of any such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation from each of Threshold and the Surviving Corporation, jointly and severally, upon receipt by Threshold or the Surviving Corporation from the D&O Indemnified Party of a request therefor; provided, that any person to whom expenses are advanced provides an undertaking, as applicable, to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined that such person is not entitled to indemnification.

(b) The certificate of incorporation and bylaws of each of Threshold and the Surviving Corporation shall contain, and Threshold shall cause the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation to so contain, provisions no less favorable with respect to indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation of present and former directors and officers of each of Threshold and Molecular than are presently set forth in the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of Threshold and Molecular, as applicable, which provisions (as well as the indemnification agreements between Threshold and Molecular, as applicable, and such D&O Indemnified Parties (as in effect as of the date of this Agreement) in the forms made available to the other Party as of the date of this Agreement) shall not be amended, modified or repealed for a period of six years’ time from the Effective Time in a manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of individuals who, at or prior to the Effective Time, were officers or directors of Threshold or Molecular.

(c) Threshold shall purchase a “tail” insurance policy with an effective date as of the Closing Date, which shall remain effective for six years following the Closing Date, at least the same coverage and amounts and containing the same terms and conditions that are not less favorable to the D&O Indemnified Parties.

(d) Threshold shall pay all reasonable expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, that may be incurred by the persons referred to in this Section 5.7 in connection with their enforcement of their rights provided in this Section 5.7.

(e) The provisions of this Section 5.7 are intended to be in addition to the rights otherwise available to the D&O Indemnified Parties by law, charter, statute, bylaw or agreement.

The obligations of Threshold under this Section 5.7 shall survive the consummation of the Merger and shall not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect any Indemnified Party to whom this Section 5.7 applies without the consent of such affected D&O Indemnified Party (it being expressly agreed that the D&O Indemnified Parties to whom this Section 5.7 applies, as well as their heirs and representatives, shall be third party beneficiaries of this Section 5.7, each of whom may enforce the provisions of this Section 5.7).

(f) In the event Threshold or the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger, or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any person, then, and in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Threshold or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, shall succeed to the obligations set forth in this Section 5.7. Threshold shall cause the Surviving Corporation to perform all of the obligations of the Surviving Corporation under this Section 5.7.

Additional Agreements. The Parties shall (a) use commercially reasonable efforts to cause to be taken all actions necessary to consummate the Contemplated Transactions and (b) reasonably cooperate with the other Parties and provide the other Parties with such assistance as may be reasonably requested for the purpose of facilitating the performance by each Party of its respective obligations under this Agreement and to enable the Surviving Corporation to continue to meet its obligations under this Agreement following the Closing.

Molecular will cooperate with Threshold as reasonably requested by Threshold with respect to the Nasdaq Listing Application and promptly furnish to Threshold all information concerning Molecular and Molecular Stockholders that may be required or reasonably requested in connection with any action contemplated by this Section 5.10.

5.11 Tax Matters.

(a) Threshold, Merger Sub and Molecular shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Merger to qualify, and agree not to, and not to permit or cause any affiliate or any Subsidiary to, take any actions or cause any action to be taken which would reasonably be expected to prevent the Merger from qualifying, as a “reorganization” under Section 368(a) of the Code.

(b) This Agreement is intended to constitute, and the Parties hereby adopt this Agreement as, a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.368-2(g).

The Shareholders shall provide Threshold with (A) evidence reasonably satisfactory to Threshold that such Transfer Taxes have been paid by the Shareholders and (B) a clearance certificate or similar documents which may be required by any Tax authority to relieve Threshold of any obligation to withhold any portion of the payments to the Shareholders pursuant to this Agreement.

Legends. Threshold shall be entitled to place appropriate legends on the book entries and/or certificates evidencing any shares of Threshold Common Stock to be received in the Merger by Molecular Stockholders who may be considered “affiliates” of Threshold for purposes of Rules 144 and 145 under the Securities Act reflecting the restrictions set forth in Rules 144 and 145 and to issue appropriate stop transfer instructions to the transfer agent for Threshold Common Stock.

Cooperation. Each Party shall cooperate reasonably with the other Party and shall provide the other Party with such assistance as may be reasonably requested for the purpose of facilitating the performance by each Party of their obligations under this Agreement and to enable the combined entity to continue to meet its obligations following the Closing.

Takeover Statutes. If any “control share acquisition”, “fair price”, “moratorium” or other anti-takeover Legal Requirement becomes or is deemed to applicable to Threshold, Molecular, Merger Sub, or the Contemplated Transactions, then each of Threshold, Molecular, Merger Sub, and their respective board of directors shall grant such approvals and take such actions as are necessary so that the Contemplated Transactions may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated hereby and otherwise act to render such anti-takeover Legal Requirement inapplicable to the foregoing.

Preferred Stock. Molecular shall take all action necessary to effect the conversion of Molecular Preferred Stock into Molecular Common Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time.
