(a) Cash Consideration. SeqLL shall pay $60,000,000 to or on behalf of the Sellers via wire transfer of immediately available funds (the “Cash Consideration”), of which $54,000,000 shall be paid to IDC and $6,000,000 shall be paid to Lyneer Management; and

 

(b) Stock Consideration. Upon the completion of the Capital Raise and the consummation of the Merger, SeqLL shall issue:

(A/B) – [(C/B) + D]

 

Where:

 

A= $225,000,000

 

B= the Offering Price

4. Section 2.4(a) of the M/A is amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

 

(a) If the price per share at which SeqLL Common Stock is sold in the Capital Raise (the “Offering Price”) is less than $.864 (subject to adjustment for stock dividends, stock consolidations and the like prior to the Closing Date), then the Parties hereby agree that at the time SeqLL declares a cash dividend to the Legacy SeqLL Shareholders pursuant to Section 3.23, SeqLL shall simultaneously declare a stock dividend to the Legacy SeqLL Shareholders of SeqLL Common Stock in an aggregate amount of shares (subject to rounding any fractional shares up to the next whole share) so that the value of (A) the product of the number of outstanding shares of SeqLL immediately prior to the Merger and the Offering Price, plus (B) the product of the number of shares of SeqLL Common Stock issued in the stock dividend and the Offering Price, equals $12,000,000.

8. Section 10.1(e) of the M/A is hereby amended to replace the date “July 31, 2023” (the “Termination Date”) with August 31, 2023.
