ASSET PURCHASE AGREEMENT

 

THIS ASSET PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made as of [*], 2026 (the “Execution Date”) between Foldlab AI Ltd., a company duly organized and existing under the laws of British Columbia (“Seller”), and iSpecimen Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Buyer”). Seller and Buyer are referred to together as the “Parties” and individually as a “Party”.

 

RECITALS

 

WHEREAS, Seller owns or controls the software, artificial-intelligence models, source code, documentation, data rights and related intellectual-property rights comprising the Disease-Associated Protein Discovery AI Agent and the Disease Trend Prediction and Monitoring AI Model; and

 

WHEREAS, Seller desires to sell and assign to Buyer, and Buyer desires to purchase and acquire from Seller, the Transferred Assets and Products, and Seller shall retain the Excluded Assets and Excluded Liabilities and Buyer shall assume only the Assumed Liabilities, upon the terms and conditions of this Agreement; and

 

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement, the Parties agree as follows:

 

ARTICLE I - DEFINITIONS; INTERPRETATION

 

1.1 Definitions.

 

Capitalized terms used in this Agreement have the meanings set forth in Annex I. The Exhibits and the Seller Disclosure Schedule, together with any other document expressly incorporated by a provision of this Agreement, are incorporated into and form part of this Agreement. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, no data-room material, diligence material or other schedule qualifies any Seller representation or warranty.

 

1.2 Interpretation.

 

References to Articles, Sections, Exhibits and the Seller Disclosure Schedule refer to those portions of this Agreement. References to a numbered section of the Seller Disclosure Schedule mean the corresponding section of the version delivered under Section 3.12. Headings are for convenience only. “Including” means “including without limitation.” References to “$” are to United States dollars. Singular terms include the plural and vice versa, and references to any Law or contract include amendments, replacements and successor provisions. This Agreement shall be construed without regard to any presumption against the Party responsible for its preparation.

 

ARTICLE II - PURCHASE AND SALE

 

2.1 Purchase and Sale.

 

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Seller shall sell, assign, transfer, convey and deliver to Buyer, and Buyer shall purchase and accept from Seller, all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to the Transferred Assets and Products, free and clear of all Encumbrances other than those expressly permitted by this Agreement.

 

1

 

 

(b) Seller shall retain the Excluded Assets and Excluded Liabilities. Buyer assumes only the Assumed Liabilities expressly listed in Exhibit B, and no other liabilities of Seller or any Affiliate.

 

2.2 Purchase Price; Payment Mechanics.

 

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the purchase price for the Transferred Assets and Products is the sum of (a) the Cash Consideration and (b) the Stock Consideration (collectively, the “Purchase Price”). The Cash Consideration is Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000), consisting of (i) Seven Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($750,000) payable at Closing and (ii) two Milestone Payments of Six Hundred Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($625,000) each, for an aggregate of One Million Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($1,250,000), payable only upon satisfaction of the delivery, testing, acceptance and cure requirements in Sections 2.2 and 2.3 and Exhibit C. The Stock Consideration is the number of whole shares of Buyer’s Common Stock equal to $2,500,000 divided by the VWAP, rounded down to the nearest whole share, issued at Closing and deposited with the Escrow Agent under Exhibit E, subject to the five-year escrow, lock-up and no-leak-out restrictions in Section 2.4 and Exhibits E and F. Any fractional-share value resulting from the calculation may be paid in cash or otherwise handled by Buyer in a legally compliant manner, without increasing the aggregate Purchase Price. Accordingly, the aggregate Purchase Price is Four Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($4,500,000). No other consideration is payable unless expressly agreed in a signed writing.

 

(a) Cash Consideration. The Cash Consideration is $2,000,000 in the aggregate. At Closing, Buyer shall pay the $750,000 portion of the Cash Consideration by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by Seller at least three Business Days before Closing. Seller shall provide customary payment instructions and tax forms.

 

(b) Milestone Payments. Buyer assumes and shall pay only the remaining $1,250,000 of the Cash Consideration through Milestone Payment 1 and Milestone Payment 2, each in the amount of $625,000, and only after the applicable Product has been completely delivered, tested and accepted in accordance with Sections 2.2 and 2.3 and Exhibit C. Each Milestone Payment shall be paid within ten Business Days after Buyer’s written acceptance, subject to Buyer’s setoff, withholding, escrow-hold and other remedies under Section 12.4.

 

(c) No Milestone Payment is earned, due or payable for partial performance, incomplete delivery, a failed test, an unresolved material defect, a missing deliverable, a breach of Seller’s representations, warranties or covenants, or a failure to satisfy any Acceptance Criterion. Buyer’s review, testing, use for evaluation, payment of one milestone or failure to issue a rejection notice shall not constitute acceptance of any Milestone Product or waive any defect, Cure Period, indemnity, setoff, escrow hold or other remedy.

 

2

 

 

2.3 Milestone Delivery, Testing, Acceptance and Cure.

 

Seller shall deliver the required deliverables described in Exhibit C for each Milestone Product within the applicable delivery period therefor specified in Exhibit C (90 days after Closing for Milestone 1 and 180 days after Closing for Milestone 2). Delivery is complete only when Seller delivers all such required deliverables, together with a written notice of complete delivery identifying the version and confirming completion of the applicable checklist. Buyer shall determine in its reasonable discretion whether delivery is complete, and the testing period does not begin until Buyer confirms complete delivery in writing. Buyer shall have thirty (30) days after that confirmation to test the Milestone Product in Buyer-controlled Testing Environments using datasets, procedures and other materials provided by Seller prior to Closing, as described in Exhibit C, approved by Buyer against the objective Acceptance Criteria. Buyer may issue a written rejection notice containing a deficiency list setting out failed criteria and reasonably reproducible evidence. Seller shall have a thirty (30)-day Cure Period after receipt to cure each failure at no additional cost to Buyer, unless Buyer elects in writing to permit another cure cycle. Buyer shall then retest. Seller shall be permitted a maximum of three (3) cure cycles, at the discretion of the Buyer. Acceptance occurs only upon Buyer’s express written notice, and no use, review, partial performance, payment or failure to respond constitutes Acceptance. If Seller fails to complete delivery by the applicable outside deadline, Buyer may require replacement delivery. If Seller fails to cure all deficiencies on the deficiency list or the Milestone Product fails retesting within the permitted number of cure cycles, the Milestone Product shall be deemed to be rejected and Seller shall not be entitled to the applicable Milestone Payment and Buyer shall, as its sole remedy for Seller’s failure to achieve Acceptance of a Milestone, retain the Transferred Assets for the rejected Milestone Product and withhold the applicable Milestone Payment. If Seller disputes a rejection, it may refer only the identified technical question to an independent technical expert as provided in Exhibit C. No payment is due for partial performance. The Transferred Assets, including all work in progress, improvements, updates, derivative works, documentation and other materials created or modified by Seller or its personnel in connection with the testing and acceptance of a Milestone Product, shall be owned by and assigned to Buyer, whether or not delivered or accepted or, in the case of work product created during testing and acceptance, paid for, subject to Seller’s continuing obligation to deliver them. No Milestone Acceptance or Milestone Payment is a condition to Buyer’s ownership of the Transferred Assets pursuant to Section 2.1.

 

The Parties confirm that the activities set out in this Section 2.3 shall be provided remotely by e-mail, messaging, telephone or direct network connection, and shall not require in-person attendance at the Buyer’s facilities. In the event that Buyer requests in-person attendance of Seller’s technical support staff, Buyer shall reimburse Seller’s reasonable travel, accommodation and meal expenses, as supported by receipts.

 

2.4 Stock Consideration; Escrow and Voting Rights.

 

At Closing, Buyer shall issue and deposit with the Escrow Agent under Exhibit E the Stock Consideration, consisting of the number of whole shares of Common Stock equal to $2,500,000 divided by the VWAP and rounded down to the nearest whole share. Buyer may, in its discretion and in compliance with applicable Law, pay cash in lieu of any fractional-share amount or use another legally compliant method to account for it, without increasing the aggregate Purchase Price. The Escrowed Shares shall remain subject to a five-year escrow and lock-up beginning on the Closing Date, with no leak-out. The calculation and the restrictions applicable to the Stock Consideration shall be equitably adjusted for any stock split, reverse split, reclassification, recapitalization, merger, consolidation or similar event affecting the Common Stock. Voting rights, dividend treatment, release conditions, proxy mechanics and enforcement shall be governed by the Voting Rights Agreement in Exhibit F and the Escrow Agreement.

 

3

 

 

2.5 Tax Matters.

 

The Parties intend that the Purchase Price be allocated among the Transferred Assets and Products in accordance with Section 1060 of the Internal Revenue Code and applicable Treasury Regulations to the extent applicable. Buyer shall prepare a proposed allocation and deliver it to Seller within sixty (60) days after Closing, and Seller shall reasonably cooperate in reviewing, finalizing and signing any required allocation statement or IRS Form 8594. Each Party shall report the transaction consistently with the final allocation except to the extent otherwise required by Law. Seller shall bear all transfer, sales, use, stamp, documentary, recording and similar Taxes arising from the transfer of the Transferred Assets, other than Taxes imposed on Buyer’s net income or arising from Buyer’s post-Closing actions. Buyer may withhold and remit any amount required by Law, and any amount so withheld shall be treated as paid to Seller. Seller shall pay all Taxes attributable to the Transferred Assets, Products and their operation for any period ending on or before Closing and shall provide tax forms, certificates and information reasonably requested by Buyer. The Parties shall reasonably cooperate in preparing filings, responding to tax inquiries and obtaining any available exemption or refund. Nothing in this Section constitutes a representation regarding the availability or result of any particular tax treatment.

4

 

 

3.3 No Conflicts.

 

The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the transaction documents, and the consummation of the transactions, do not and will not conflict with Seller’s organizational documents, any contract binding Seller or any Transferred Asset, any Encumbrance, or any applicable Law. No consent, notice, filing or approval is required from any Person or Governmental Authority except as set forth in Section 3.3 of the Seller Disclosure Schedule and approved by Buyer as a condition to Closing, and all such required consents, notices, filings and approvals shall be obtained on or before Closing.

3.5 Capitalization; Financial Information; Liabilities.

 

Except as set forth in Section 3.5 of the Seller Disclosure Schedule, Seller has disclosed all outstanding equity, options, warrants, conversion rights and other rights affecting the Products or the Transferred Assets.

The financial and operating information delivered to Buyer and identified in Section 3.5 of the Seller Disclosure Schedule is complete and accurate in all material respects and does not omit any fact necessary to make it not misleading. Seller has paid or properly reserved for all Taxes attributable to the Transferred Assets and Products for periods ending on or before Closing, has filed all required Tax returns relating to them, and has not received written notice of a pending audit or dispute that could result in a liability assumed by Buyer.

No order, injunction, judgment or settlement restricts the development, deployment, training, testing, licensing or commercialization of any Product.

 

5

 

 

3.7 Compliance; Regulatory.

Section 3.7 identifies the regulatory classification, intended-use statements, applicable jurisdictions, regulatory status, required approvals and communications with the FDA, FTC, HHS, EMA and other Governmental Authorities, including any statement that a Product is or is not a medical device or regulated clinical decision-support tool. Seller has not marketed, represented or authorized the Products for clinical diagnosis, treatment or use as a medical device. The Products are transferred solely for research and business-intelligence use and may not be marketed as medical devices or used for clinical diagnosis or treatment unless Buyer separately authorizes that use and obtains the required approvals. Seller and the Products comply with applicable export-control and sanctions requirements, and Seller has not received written notice of an unresolved violation or investigation.

Section 3.9 of the Seller Disclosure Schedule identifies the complete IP Rights inventory, registrations, applications, chain-of-title documents, contributors, assignments, waivers, funding arrangements, infringement claims, licenses and restrictions. Each employee, consultant, contractor, founder and other contributor who contributed to the Products has executed enforceable confidentiality, invention-assignment and work-made-for-hire agreements that include a present assignment of all applicable rights and waivers of moral rights to the extent permitted by Law. No assignment, consent or waiver is missing or subject to a condition that would impair Buyer’s ownership or use. To Seller’s knowledge, the Products and Transferred Assets do not infringe, misappropriate or otherwise violate any third-party IP Right, and Seller has received no written claim, demand or notice alleging the same. No government funding, university sponsorship, open innovation program or third-party restriction gives any Person ownership of or a license inconsistent with Buyer’s intended ownership and use.

 

6

 

 

3.10 Data; Privacy; Cybersecurity.

 

Except as set forth in Section 3.10 of the Seller Disclosure Schedule, Seller has collected, processed, stored, disclosed, de-identified and transferred the Data in compliance with Applicable Data Protection Law and applicable contractual commitments, with all required notices, consents, permissions, data-processing agreements and lawful transfer bases. Section 3.10 identifies each material dataset and its provenance, permitted uses, restrictions, retention and deletion requirements, transfer basis and required safeguards. Seller has maintained commercially reasonable administrative, physical and technical safeguards, access controls, logging, backups, vulnerability management, disaster-recovery and incident-response procedures. Seller has disclosed in Section 3.10 every actual or suspected data breach, Security Incident, unauthorized access, ransomware event, loss of credentials, regulator inquiry and material vulnerability during the past five years and has provided related investigation, remediation and notice records. No Personal Data, protected health information, human-subject data or restricted biological data is included in the Transferred Assets except as specifically identified in Section 3.10 together with its lawful transfer basis, retention limits and required safeguards. No unresolved Security Incident or material vulnerability impairs Buyer’s receipt or use of the Transferred Assets.

 

3.11 Open Source Software; Contracts; Personnel; Brokers.

 

Except as set forth in Section 3.11 of the Seller Disclosure Schedule, that section contains a complete and current bill of materials for all Open Source Software and Third-Party Materials used in the Products, identifying each component, version, license, modification, notice, attribution, copyleft or reciprocal obligation, source-availability requirement and other use or distribution condition. It also contains the complete list of all third-party models, APIs, cloud services, data sources, licenses, contracts, personnel arrangements and brokers relating to the Products, including all restrictions on transfer, training, inference, commercialization, geographic use and data rights. No Open Source Software or Third-Party Material imposes a requirement to disclose, license, distribute or make available source code or other proprietary technology, and Seller has complied with every applicable notice and attribution obligation. All identified contracts and arrangements are in force, assignable or capable of being transferred with consent before Closing, not in default, and fully paid. Seller has obtained or will obtain all required assignment consents, and no personnel or broker has any right, claim or fee that could impair Buyer’s ownership or use of the Transferred Assets or impose liability on Buyer. Seller makes no representation except as expressly stated in this ARTICLE III, but no disclaimer limits any express representation, covenant, indemnity or remedy in this Agreement. Seller represents and warrants that it has authority to bind the holders identified in Section F-1 of the Seller Disclosure Schedule to the obligations applicable to them under Exhibits E and F and shall cause each Holder to provide complete beneficial-ownership information and execute the Voting Rights Agreement, investor representation letter and transfer documents reasonably requested by Buyer before Closing. Seller shall cause each Holder to represent that it is acquiring the Stock Consideration for its own account and investment, not with a view to distribution, and is an accredited investor or otherwise qualifies for the exemption selected by Buyer, in each case to the extent required by that exemption. Each Holder shall accept restricted-security legends, the no-registration and no-leak-out restrictions, the transfer and anti-hedging restrictions and applicable Nasdaq and securities-law requirements.

 

7

 

 

3.12 Seller Disclosure Schedule; Updates; Qualifying Effect.

 

Seller shall deliver to Buyer an initial completed Seller Disclosure Schedule concurrently with execution of this Agreement, update it promptly through Closing, and deliver a final certified version at least five (5) Business Days before Closing. Each version and update of the Seller Disclosure Schedule shall be complete and accurate in all material respects, identify additions and deletions, be signed by an authorized officer of Seller and require Buyer’s prior written approval. A disclosure in one numbered section of the Seller Disclosure Schedule qualifies a representation or warranty in another section only to the extent the applicability of the disclosure to that other section is reasonably apparent on its face. No disclosure cures a breach of covenant, expands the Assumed Liabilities, limits Buyer’s conditions to Closing or changes the Purchase Price unless Buyer expressly agrees in a signed writing. The Seller Disclosure Schedule, including its numbered sections, attachments, continuations, updates and final certification, is incorporated into and forms part of this Agreement. Seller may not use an update to qualify facts arising from its breach or to amend or circumvent an express covenant or Closing condition.

 

ARTICLE IV - REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF BUYER

 

Buyer represents and warrants to Seller as of the Execution Date and the Closing Date as follows:

 

4.1 Organization; Existence.

 

Buyer is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of Delaware, has full corporate power and authority to own the Transferred Assets and operate the Products after Closing, and is qualified to do business wherever required for the transaction.

This Agreement and the documents to which Buyer is a party are legal, valid and binding obligations of Buyer, enforceable subject to applicable bankruptcy and equitable principles.

 

4.3 No Conflicts; Litigation.

 

The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions do not conflict with Buyer’s organizational documents or any applicable Law and will not result in a material breach of any agreement binding Buyer.

8

(b) No stop order, suspension, delisting notice or similar proceeding is pending or threatened in writing against Buyer or its Common Stock.

 

(c) When issued at Closing in accordance with this Agreement and applicable approvals, the Stock Consideration will be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, subject to the escrow, lock-up, legend, no-leak-out and transfer restrictions in Exhibits E and F and the private-placement exemption selected by Buyer on advice of securities counsel. Buyer has authority to issue the Stock Consideration and to instruct its transfer agent and Escrow Agent to issue, register, legend, restrict, hold and release the Stock Consideration in accordance with this Agreement, applicable Law and the applicable transaction documents.

 

4.6 Buyer Disclosure Record.

 

Except as disclosed in the Buyer Disclosure Record:

 

(a) there are no outstanding: (i) shares or other voting securities or other equity interests of the Buyer; (ii) securities of the Buyer convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares or other securities of the Buyer; (iii) subscriptions, options or rights to acquire from the Buyer, or other obligation of the Buyer to issue or deliver, any shares, other voting securities or securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares or other securities of the Buyer; or (v) stock appreciation, “phantom” stock or other equity equivalent rights with respect to the Buyer; and

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer makes no representation regarding forward-looking statements, projections, estimates or forecasts contained in the Buyer SEC Documents or Buyer Financial Statements, and no claim for indemnification may be based on the accuracy of any such forward-looking statement.

 

(b) All accounts, notes and other receivables reflected on the Buyer Financial Statements have arisen from bona fide transactions in the ordinary course of business, and are or will be valid, genuine and fully collectible in the ordinary course of business without resort to litigation or extraordinary collection activity, less any reserves for doubtful accounts reflected on the Buyer Financial Statements.

 

4.9 No Undisclosed Liabilities.

 

The Buyer has no Liabilities, in all material respects, other than Liabilities: (i) disclosed in the Buyer Financial Statements; or (ii) similar in nature and amount to those disclosed in the buyer Financial Statements that have been incurred since June 30, 2026 in the ordinary course of business and not in violation of this Agreement.

 

4.10 Indebtedness.

 

Except for the material Indebtedness disclosed in Buyer Disclosure Record: (i) the Buyer has no material Indebtedness; (ii) the Buyer has not guaranteed any material Indebtedness of any person; (iii) there are no liens or encumbrances on the assets or properties of the Buyer. There are no grounds for believing that any creditor of the Buyer will be prejudiced by the consummation of the transactions contemplated in this Agreement. This representation shall not be construed to expand Buyer’s indemnification obligations beyond Section 12.2.

 

4.11 Material Contracts.

 

The Buyer Disclosure Record includes the material contracts of the Buyer required to be made available to the public in accordance with applicable law. The Buyer’s material contracts are in full force and effect in all material respects in accordance with their terms and the Buyer is not in material breach of or default under any such contract. Buyer’s representations under this Section 4.11 are limited to matters disclosed in the Buyer SEC Documents and do not expand Buyer’s indemnification obligations.

 

10

 

 

4.12 Independent Evaluation; No Reliance.

 

Buyer has conducted, or has had the opportunity to conduct, its own legal, technical, product, cybersecurity, privacy, regulatory, tax and financial diligence and is relying on Seller’s express representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities in this Agreement. No diligence, testing, deployment, use, payment or knowledge by Buyer limits Seller’s obligations or constitutes acceptance of any Product except as expressly stated in Section 2.3.

 

4.13 Brokers; Compliance.

 

Buyer has incurred no liability for broker, finder or investment-banking fees for which Seller could be responsible. Buyer will comply with applicable Laws in its ownership and operation of the Products after Closing, subject to the regulatory status, intended use and approvals disclosed in Section 3.7 of the Seller Disclosure Schedule and approved by Buyer as a condition to Closing.

 

4.14 Regulatory, Privacy and Security Operations.

 

Buyer maintains policies and controls reasonably designed to comply with applicable privacy, information-security, export-control, sanctions and AI governance requirements for its operations. Nothing in this representation limits Seller’s responsibility for any pre-Closing act, omission, data defect, security incident or regulatory noncompliance relating to the Transferred Assets or Products.

 

4.15 Securities Law; Accredited Investor.

 

Buyer is acquiring the Products for its own account and not with a view to an unlawful distribution of any securities. Buyer will issue the Stock Consideration only in compliance with applicable securities Laws and Nasdaq requirements and pursuant to a private-placement exemption selected by Buyer on advice of securities counsel. Seller shall cause each Holder to deliver the investor representations, transfer documents, beneficial-ownership information and other securities-law information reasonably requested by Buyer. The Stock Consideration will not be registered under the Securities Act or any state securities law at issuance unless Buyer elects otherwise, and Buyer has no obligation to register, qualify or facilitate resale of the Stock Consideration.

 

ARTICLE V - ACCESS; DATA ROOM; CONFIDENTIALITY

 

5.1 Access and Due Diligence.

 

From the Execution Date through Closing, Seller shall provide Buyer and Buyer’s Representatives reasonable access during normal business hours to the repositories, source code, model weights, documentation, test environments, Data, contracts, security materials, personnel and other information relating to the Transferred Assets and Products. Seller shall obtain required third-party consents, provide credentials through secure channels, and cooperate with technical, privacy, cybersecurity, regulatory and legal diligence. Buyer shall conduct its review in a manner that does not unreasonably disrupt Seller’s business and shall bear its own diligence costs.

 

11

 

 

5.2 Confidentiality; Public Announcements.

 

Each Party shall protect the other Party’s Confidential Information using at least reasonable care and shall use it only for evaluating, documenting or completing the transaction or performing this Agreement. Disclosure is permitted to Affiliates, financing sources, auditors, professional advisers, regulators, the SEC, Nasdaq and other Governmental Authorities that are bound by confidentiality or need the information, and as required by Law. Buyer may make any disclosure, filing, press release or investor communication required by applicable securities Laws or Nasdaq rules after reasonable consultation with Seller where legally permissible. Neither Party shall issue a voluntary public announcement about the transaction without the other Party’s prior written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld.

 

5.3 Data Handling; Security During Pre-Closing.

 

(a) Seller shall provide access to Data only through approved secure environments, shall limit access to authorized personnel with a need to know, and shall not commingle, sell, disclose or use the Data for any purpose unrelated to the transaction or the Products.

 

(b) Seller shall maintain its existing security, backup, vulnerability-management and incident-response controls through Closing and shall notify Buyer without undue delay, and in any event within twenty-four (24) hours, of any actual or suspected Security Incident affecting the Transferred Assets, Products or Data.

 

(c) Upon Buyer’s request or termination of this Agreement, Seller shall return or securely destroy Buyer’s Confidential Information and any copies of Data, except for one archival copy retained solely to satisfy Law and subject to continuing confidentiality and security obligations.

 

ARTICLE VI - TITLE TO ASSETS; ASSIGNMENT

 

6.1 Assignment; Title.

 

At Closing, Seller shall execute and deliver the Assignment and Assumption Instrument in Exhibit D, conveying to Buyer all of the Seller’s right, title and interest in the Transferred Assets and assigning to Buyer the Assumed Liabilities. The assignment includes all of the Seller’s IP Rights in and to the Products, together with all corresponding rights to sue for past, present and future infringement or misuse. Seller hereby assigns to Buyer, and shall cause its personnel and contractors to assign to Buyer, all of its rights in any work forming a part of the Transferred Assets, whether or not accepted or paid for. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing includes all work in progress, improvements, updates and derivative works, made in connection with the testing and acceptance of a Milestone Product, whether or not accepted or paid for. Seller shall execute further instruments and obtain further consents reasonably requested by Buyer to evidence, perfect or enforce the transfer, including recordable IP assignments and repository, source-control or cloud-account transfers. All IP Rights in and to the Products, including registrations, applications, trade secrets, know-how and rights to sue, transfer simultaneously to Buyer at Closing. Seller’s delivery obligations under Section 9.3 and Exhibit C include all materials, documentation, chain-of-title instruments and records necessary to evidence and enforce those IP Rights. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, no Milestone Acceptance or Milestone Payment is a condition to Buyer’s ownership of the Transferred Assets.

 

12

 

 

ARTICLE VII - CERTAIN AGREEMENTS

 

7.1 Conduct of Business.

 

Except as expressly permitted by this Agreement or consented to in writing by Buyer, from the Execution Date through Closing Seller shall maintain the Transferred Assets in the ordinary course, preserve the technology, data, personnel and contractual relationships, and use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain performance, security and regulatory compliance.

 

(a) Seller shall give Buyer prompt written notice of any material change affecting a Product or Transferred Asset, any claim or notice, any Security Incident, any material model or data issue, any regulatory inquiry, and any failure to obtain a required consent;

 

(b) Seller shall not:

 

(i) sell, license, assign, transfer, pledge, encumber, abandon or otherwise dispose of any Transferred Asset or Product, or grant any right inconsistent with Buyer’s ownership;

 

(ii) materially modify, retrain, discontinue, disable, reconfigure or release a Product, or materially change its security controls, data sources, model weights, licensing terms or intended use, other than in the ordinary course and consistent with Exhibit C;

 

(iii) enter into, amend or terminate any material contract, license, cloud arrangement, data-source agreement or personnel arrangement relating to a Product, or commit to do any of the foregoing; or

 

(iv) fail to maintain reasonable backups, access controls, vulnerability management, incident response, confidentiality obligations and invention assignments for the Transferred Assets and Products.

 

7.2 Transition Services.

 

For six (6) months after the later of (i) Acceptance of Milestone 1 or rejection of the Milestone Product therefor and (ii) Acceptance of Milestone 2 or rejection of the Milestone Product therefor, Seller shall provide the Transition Services reasonably requested by Buyer, including knowledge transfer, repository and cloud-account migration, documentation completion, personnel introductions, data-map assistance, security handover, regulatory support and product deployment assistance. The Transition Services shall be provided by Seller’s technical personnel and in accordance with the dependencies identified in Section 7.2 of the Seller Disclosure Schedule, at a fee of $10,000 per month plus applicable taxes. Buyer may extend the Transition Services for up to three (3) months by written notice. Seller shall not withhold any Transition Services because a Milestone Payment is disputed.

 

13

 

 

For the avoidance of doubt, Seller’s obligations to deliver, test, cure and support each Milestone Product under Section 2.3 and Exhibit C are independent of the Transition Services and are not limited or constrained by the Transition Services period or scope.

 

The Parties confirm that the Transition Services shall be provided remotely by e-mail, messaging, telephone or direct network connection, and shall not require in-person attendance at the Buyer’s facilities. In the event that Buyer requests in-person attendance of Seller’s technical support staff, Buyer shall reimburse Seller’s reasonable travel, accommodation and meal expenses, as supported by receipts.

 

7.3 Notifications; Data Incidents.

 

Each Party shall promptly notify the other of any event that would make a representation inaccurate or materially impair its performance. Seller shall notify Buyer within twenty-four (24) hours after discovering any Security Incident, data-subject request, regulator inquiry, threatened claim, IP challenge or material Product defect, and shall preserve evidence and cooperate fully in investigation, mitigation, notices, remediation and regulatory response. To the extent legally permissible, Seller shall coordinate external communications and regulatory notices with Buyer and shall not make any material notice or disclosure concerning the Transferred Assets, Products or Data without Buyer’s prior written consent. Notice does not waive any representation, covenant, indemnity or remedy.

 

7.4 Survival.

 

The representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities and payment obligations of the Parties survive Closing for the periods stated in Section 11.12, Section 12.1 and the Escrow Agreement. No investigation, testing, acceptance, use, payment or knowledge limits the survival or enforceability of Seller’s representations, warranties, covenants or indemnities.

17

 

 

ARTICLE X - TERMINATION

 

10.1 Right of Termination.

 

This Agreement and the transactions may be terminated at any time before Closing:

 

(a) by mutual written agreement of Buyer and Seller;

 

(b) by Buyer if any Buyer condition has not been satisfied or waived by the Outside Termination Date;

 

(c) by Buyer if Seller materially breaches this Agreement or a representation, warranty or covenant and fails to cure the breach within thirty (30) days after written notice, or sooner if the breach cannot be cured before the Outside Termination Date;

 

(d) by Buyer, in its reasonable discretion, if technical, IP, privacy, cybersecurity, regulatory or commercial diligence identifies a material issue that is not satisfactorily resolved before Closing;

 

(e) by Buyer if a material adverse effect occurs with respect to the Products, Transferred Assets, Data, Seller’s ability to perform or Buyer’s ability to receive the intended benefit of the transaction;

 

(f) by Buyer if any required Seller Shareholder Approval or Buyer Stockholder Approval, or any required approval, consent, exemption or filing of or with Nasdaq, the SEC, the State of Delaware, any Governmental Authority or any third party, is not obtained on terms acceptable to Buyer;

 

(g) by Seller only if Buyer materially breaches a covenant required to be performed before Closing and fails to cure the breach within thirty (30) days after written notice, or, if the breach cannot be cured before the Outside Termination Date, fails to provide a satisfactory remedy; provided that Seller may not terminate for failure to obtain Buyer Stockholder Approval, Nasdaq or other Regulatory Approvals, financing, a securities-law exemption or any action or determination within Buyer’s board, committee or fiduciary discretion, and no termination is available for a breach caused by Seller;

 

(h) by either Party if a final, non-appealable order permanently prohibits the transactions or if the other Party becomes subject to an insolvency proceeding;

 

No Party may terminate under a provision that resulted primarily from that Party’s material breach of this Agreement.

 

10.2 Effect of Termination.

 

If this Agreement is terminated before Closing, it becomes void without further liability except for provisions that expressly survive, including confidentiality, data security, return or destruction of information, expenses, governing law, indemnities for pre-termination breaches, dispute remedies and this ARTICLE X. No portion of the Cash Consideration, including any Milestone Payment, or Stock Consideration is payable solely because of termination, and Buyer has no liability solely because it terminates under Sections 10.1(b) through 10.1(f), unless Buyer committed fraud or a material uncured breach. Termination does not limit any Party’s liability for fraud, willful misconduct or a breach occurring before termination, or Buyer’s right to specific performance, setoff, escrow hold or other remedies.

 

18

 

 

10.3 Return of Documentation; Data Security.

 

Upon termination, each Party shall promptly return or securely destroy, in respect of the subject matter of the termination, the other Party’s Confidential Information, source code, Data, credentials and other transaction materials, subject to a limited archival copy required by Law. Seller shall certify completion on request and shall permanently disable Buyer’s access to Seller systems while preserving any evidence needed for a pending claim or regulatory response.

A Party may change its notice details by written notice under this Section 11.2.

 

11.3 Expenses.

 

Each Party shall bear its own legal, accounting, advisory, financing, diligence and other costs relating to this Agreement and the transactions, except that Seller shall bear all costs of obtaining Seller’s approvals, consents and releases, and each Party shall bear costs arising from its own breach.

 

11.4 Waivers; Rights Cumulative.

 

A waiver is effective only in a written instrument signed by the waiving Party and applies only to the specific instance stated. No delay, course of dealing or partial exercise of a right waives that right. All rights and remedies are cumulative and may be exercised separately or together.

 

11.5 Relationship of the Parties.

 

The Parties are independent contracting parties. Nothing in this Agreement creates a partnership, joint venture, agency, fiduciary relationship or employment relationship, and neither Party may bind the other except as expressly stated.

 

11.6 Entire Agreement; Conflicts.

 

This Agreement, the Exhibits, the Seller Disclosure Schedule, any Buyer written disclosures and other transaction documents expressly incorporated herein constitute the entire agreement concerning the transactions and supersede all prior discussions and understandings. If a conflict exists between this Agreement and an Exhibit or the Seller Disclosure Schedule, this Agreement controls unless the applicable Exhibit or Seller Disclosure Schedule expressly states that it overrides a specified provision. No representation, promise or inducement is binding unless set forth in this Agreement.

 

20

 

 

11.7 Governing Law; Forum; Jury Waiver.

 

This Agreement and the legal relations among the Parties are governed by Delaware law, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Each Party irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in New Castle County, Delaware, and waives any objection based on inconvenient forum. Each Party waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, trial by jury in any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement.

 

11.8 Filings, Notices and Governmental Approvals.

 

Buyer shall control, in its sole discretion and subject to applicable Law and its board’s fiduciary duties, all SEC, Nasdaq, stockholder, investor and other public disclosures, filings, applications, registration or exemption selections and regulatory strategy relating to the Stock Consideration and the transactions. Seller shall promptly provide complete and accurate information, certifications, consents and assistance reasonably requested for those filings and for Delaware corporate approvals, AI, privacy, health-data, export-control and other regulatory notices. Seller shall actively pursue the approvals allocated to Seller, including those identified in Sections 3.2, 3.3 and 3.7 of the Seller Disclosure Schedule, and Buyer shall control the approvals allocated to Buyer, in each case subject to Buyer’s approval as a condition to Closing. Nothing in this Agreement requires Buyer, its board or any committee to take action inconsistent with applicable Law, Nasdaq requirements, fiduciary duties or board discretion, and no filing or approval obligation requires Buyer to accept a material adverse condition.

 

11.9 Amendment.

 

This Agreement may be amended, modified or supplemented only by a written instrument expressly referring to this Agreement and signed by Buyer and Seller, and, if affected, the Escrow Agent or any other required party.

 

11.10 Parties in Interest.

 

Except for the Buyer Indemnified Parties, who may enforce the indemnities expressly granted for their benefit, this Agreement is for the benefit of and binding only on the Parties and their permitted successors and assigns. No other Person has a claim or remedy under this Agreement.

 

11.11 Successors and Permitted Assigns.

 

This Agreement binds and benefits the Parties and their permitted successors and assigns. Any successor to Buyer’s business or the Products may enforce and perform this Agreement, subject to the assignment restrictions in Section 11.15.

 

11.12 Representations Survival.

 

Seller’s representations and warranties survive Closing until the date that is twenty-four (24) months after Closing, except that organization, authority, title, IP ownership, infringement, privacy, cybersecurity, Data, regulatory, Tax, fraud and intentional-misrepresentation matters survive for five (5) years or the applicable statute of limitations, whichever is longer. Covenants survive according to their terms; milestone obligations survive until final acceptance or rejection and final resolution of any timely claim; and the escrow, lock-up, no-leak-out and voting obligations survive for five (5) years and through final resolution of any claim asserted before release. Buyer’s representations survive for twenty-four (24) months, except authority and securities issuance representations, which survive for five (5) years. A claim noticed before the applicable survival period expires survives until finally resolved.

 

21

 

 

11.13 Time is of the Essence.

 

Time is of the essence for the Closing, delivery dates, testing and cure periods, milestone acceptance, payment dates, notice periods, escrow release restrictions and all other deadlines in this Agreement. If a deadline falls on a day that is not a Business Day, it moves to the next Business Day unless this Agreement expressly provides otherwise.

 

11.14 Specific Performance; Equitable Relief.

 

Seller acknowledges that damages may be inadequate for a breach involving the transfer, disclosure, misuse or destruction of IP Rights, Data, Confidential Information, source code, credentials, Escrowed Shares, voting rights or milestone deliverables. Buyer is entitled to specific performance, injunctions and other equitable relief, without posting bond, in addition to damages, indemnification, setoff, escrow enforcement and all other remedies. Nothing in this Section limits Buyer’s right to reject a Milestone Product, suspend release, preserve a claim or seek relief against a Holder or transferee, and nothing requires Buyer, its board or any committee to take action inconsistent with applicable Law, Nasdaq requirements or fiduciary duties.

 

11.15 Assignment.

 

Seller may not assign, delegate or transfer this Agreement or any right or obligation without Buyer’s prior written consent. Buyer may assign this Agreement, in whole or in part, to an Affiliate, financing source, successor, acquirer of the Products or other permitted assignee without Seller’s consent, provided Buyer remains responsible for obligations accrued before assignment. Any assignment includes the benefit of the indemnities, escrow, voting rights and setoff provisions.

 

11.16 Preparation of Agreement.

 

The Parties and their respective counsel participated in preparing this Agreement. No presumption or burden of proof arises against a Party because that Party or its counsel drafted a provision.

 

11.17 Severability.

 

If any provision is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect, and the Parties shall negotiate in good faith a valid replacement that most closely preserves the intended economic and legal effect. No invalidity affects the escrow, no-leak-out, voting, indemnity, setoff or specific-performance protections to the fullest extent permitted by Law.

 

22

 

 

ARTICLE XII - INDEMNIFICATION; SETOFF; REMEDIES

 

12.1 Seller Indemnification.

 

Seller shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Buyer, its Affiliates, stockholders, directors, officers, employees, agents, successors and permitted assigns (the “Buyer Indemnified Parties”) from and against all Losses arising out of or resulting from (a) any breach of Seller’s representations, warranties, covenants or obligations, (b) any Excluded Assets or Excluded Liabilities, (c) any pre-Closing act or omission of Seller or its Affiliates, (d) any claim that the Products, Transferred Assets, Data, Open Source Software or Third-Party Materials infringe, misappropriate or violate a third-party right, (e) any pre-Closing privacy, security, data, regulatory, employment, tax or IP liability, (f) any Security Incident or unlawful Data processing occurring before Closing, (g) Seller’s fraud or willful misconduct, and (h) any failure to deliver or cure a Milestone Product or Transition Service as required by this Agreement.

 

12.2 Buyer Indemnification.

 

Buyer shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Seller and its directors, officers, employees and agents from and against Losses arising solely from (a) Buyer’s material breach of its representations, warranties or covenants, (b) Buyer’s gross negligence, willful misconduct or fraud after Closing, or (c) the Assumed Liabilities, except to the extent the Loss results from Seller’s breach, negligence, willful misconduct or pre-Closing conduct.

 

12.3 Indemnification Procedures.

 

The indemnified Party shall give reasonably prompt written notice of a claim, but delay does not reduce the indemnifying Party’s obligation except to the extent materially prejudiced. A notice delivered before the applicable survival period or escrow release date preserves the claim until final resolution. The indemnifying Party may control a third-party defense with counsel reasonably acceptable to the indemnified Party, but may not settle, admit liability, impose non-monetary relief or affect the indemnified Party’s rights without its prior written consent. Buyer may assume control at any time if the claim involves IP, Personal Data, a Governmental Authority, injunctive relief, a conflict of interest, a remedy not fully covered by the indemnifying Party or a matter requiring coordinated regulatory or securities-law strategy. First-party claims may be asserted by written notice describing the basis and a good-faith estimate of the amount, and failure to agree does not limit Buyer’s right to seek relief, setoff or an escrow hold.

 

12.4 Setoff; Escrow Enforcement.

 

Buyer may withhold, defer or set off any amount reasonably determined in good faith to be owed by Seller or an indemnifying party against any unpaid Milestone Payment, Transition Services fee or other amount payable by Buyer, after giving notice describing the basis and amount. Buyer may also instruct the Escrow Agent to suspend release of Escrowed Shares for any claim asserted before the release date and, after a written agreement, final non-appealable determination or other legally compliant procedure establishing a covered Loss, apply escrowed value to satisfy that Loss, without limiting any other remedy. Any cancellation, return, transfer or other disposition of Escrowed Shares in satisfaction of a Loss must be effected through that written agreement, final determination or other legally compliant procedure; no automatic forfeiture applies. No setoff may exceed the amount reasonably related to the asserted Loss, and a setoff or escrow hold does not waive any claim.

12.5 Limitations; Caps; Baskets.

 

Except solely for Losses arising from Seller’s non-fundamental representations and warranties that are not related to IP, Data, privacy, cybersecurity, regulatory matters or Taxes (the “General Representation Claims”), Seller’s liability under this Article is not subject to a basket or cap. For General Representation Claims only, Buyer may not recover until aggregate General Representation Claims exceed $25,000, and then only the amount exceeding $25,000, and Seller’s aggregate liability for those claims shall not exceed $100,000. The basket and cap do not apply to Excluded Liabilities, privacy, fraud, intentional misrepresentation, willful misconduct, or a claim covered by insurance or third-party recovery. Recoveries reduce Losses only to the extent actually received, net of reasonable collection costs and Taxes, and no limitation applies to a remedy necessary to enforce those excluded obligations.

 

12.6 Remedies; No Double Recovery.

 

The remedies in this Agreement are cumulative and do not exclude remedies available at Law or in equity. Buyer may seek specific performance, injunctive relief, indemnification, setoff, escrow enforcement, replacement delivery, rejection of a Milestone Product and damages. Each Party shall use reasonable efforts to mitigate Losses to the extent required by Law, but Buyer is not required to pursue a third party, insurance recovery or an alternative remedy before asserting a claim. Losses are reduced only by amounts actually recovered and retained from insurance or a third party, net of reasonable recovery costs and Taxes, and no recovery is required to be pursued if it would prejudice Buyer or the claim. To the extent permitted by Law, indemnity payments shall be treated as adjustments to the Purchase Price for tax purposes. No Party may recover the same Loss twice, but a recovery under one provision does not waive a separate remedy for a different Loss or obligation, and the cap and basket in Section 12.5 do not limit the remedies expressly excluded from them. Sections 12.1 through 12.6 survive termination and Closing according to their terms.

Annex I-6

 

 

EXHIBIT A

 

Transferred Assets and Products

 

Schedule A-1 - Product Inventory and Repositories

 

Disease-Associated Protein Discovery AI Agent

 

“Disease-Associated Protein Discovery AI Agent” means the software capability of the product that, beginning from a disease or condition named by the user, (a) resolves candidate diseases and their statistically associated human target proteins using the third-party Open Targets database, ranked by association score; (b) loads a user-selected target protein’s sequence and AlphaFold-predicted structure; (c) retrieves previously reported (“known”) pathogenic, single-residue missense variants for that protein from the EBI Proteins API (ClinVar-sourced); and (d) computes, for each such variant, a zero-shot, structure-aware in-silico impact score using a masked protein language model. The Agent surfaces and scores pre-existing, database-reported variants and produces research-grade computational estimates of protein fold stability and sequence–structure fitness. It does not diagnose disease, does not predict or classify the pathogenicity of novel or unreported variants, and does not constitute medical advice or a clinical diagnosis.

 

The Disease-Associated Protein Discovery AI Agent shall be the latest stable production version in Seller’s possession or control as of Closing, together with the complete repository and all related production and staging environments, accounts, credentials, deployment materials and documentation in Seller’s possession or control as of Closing.

 

Disease Trend Prediction and Monitoring AI Model

 

“Disease Trend Prediction and Monitoring AI Model” means the Protein Mutation Prediction Agent and the Disease Trend Monitoring & Forecasting Agent, where:

 

(a)“Protein Mutation Prediction Agent” means the software capability of the product that analyzes the mutational landscape of a single protein and comprises: (a) resolution of a protein named in plain language (e.g. “T4 lysozyme”) by searching UniProt database, ranking candidate entries, and the Agent autonomously figure out which protein is meant; (b) scoring of a user-supplied list of single-residue substitutions (e.g. “T157I, S38D, A129V”), each validated against the loaded sequence and scored as a zero-shot, structure-aware masked-marginal log-likelihood ratio by a masked protein language model; (c) a conservation (“locked positions”) track and 3-D color theme derived from the per-position entropy of the model’s own amino-acid distribution. All outputs are research-grade computational estimates of protein fold stability and sequence–structure fitness; and

 

(b)“Disease Trend Monitoring & Forecasting Agent” means the software capability of product that, for a disease resolved through the Agent’s existing disease-identification step, (a) retrieves a historical time series of reported case or incidence counts for that disease from a third-party public surveillance data source, where such a series is available; (b) produces a short-horizon probabilistic forecast of the reported trend using a general-purpose, pretrained time-series forecasting model, expressed as a median and upper/lower quantile bands; and (c) presents the historical series and forecast together with a plain-language trend summary. The forecast is a domain-agnostic statistical extrapolation of past reported values.

 

The Disease Trend Prediction and Monitoring AI Model shall be the latest stable production version in Seller’s possession or control as of Closing, together with the complete repository, model registry, deployment environments, accounts, credentials, deployment materials and documentation in Seller’s possession or control as of Closing.

 

Schedule A-2 - IP Rights, Data and Documentation

Schedule C-3 - Testing, Acceptance and Cure Procedure

 

For each Milestone Product, testing shall begin after Buyer has received all deliverables and has received Seller’s notice of delivery completion therefor. Buyer shall test each complete delivery within thirty (30) days in Buyer-controlled Testing Environments using representative datasets and procedures selected or approved by Buyer. Buyer shall issue express written acceptance or a rejection notice containing a deficiency list setting out all failed Acceptance Criteria and supporting evidence. Seller shall have a 30-day Cure Period to cure all deficiencies at no additional cost to Buyer, unless Buyer elects otherwise in writing, during and after which Buyer may retest the corrected Milestone Product. Buyer may agree in writing to amended or additional Cure Periods for particular deficiencies. Seller shall be permitted a maximum of three (3) cure cycles, at the discretion of the Buyer. Acceptance occurs only by Buyer’s express written notice after all Acceptance Criteria are satisfied. Buyer’s use, review, partial performance, payment or silence shall not constitute Acceptance. If Seller fails to complete delivery by the applicable outside deadline, Buyer may require replacement delivery. If Seller fails to cure all deficiencies on the deficiency list or the Milestone Product fails retesting within the permitted number of cure cycles, the Milestone Product shall be deemed to be rejected and Seller shall not be entitled to the applicable Milestone Payment and the Buyer shall, as its sole remedy for Seller’s failure to achieve Acceptance of a Milestone, retain the Transferred Assets for the rejected Milestone Product and withhold the applicable Milestone Payment. If Seller disputes a rejection, it may, within five (5) Business Days, refer only the identified technical question to an independent technical expert designated by Buyer and reasonably acceptable to Seller. The expert shall apply the objective Acceptance Criteria and decide the technical question on an expedited record; the expert may not decide contract interpretation, legal compliance, ownership, breach, indemnity, fraud or equitable relief, and the referral shall not delay Buyer’s payment hold, setoff, escrow hold, rejection or other rights.

 

Testing shall be conducted in Buyer-controlled Testing Environments using representative datasets selected or approved by Buyer. Seller shall deliver to Buyer at least five (5) Business Days before Closing the complete testing data map, baselines, environment specifications, version requirements, regulatory assumptions, provenance materials and required acceptance forms identified in Section 2.3 of the Seller Disclosure Schedule and Exhibit C, subject to Buyer’s approval as a condition to Closing. Buyer and Seller may agree to update the testing sequence, environment configuration, representative datasets and security procedures in a manner reasonably designed to test the objective Acceptance Criteria. Buyer acceptance contact: Buyer’s chief technology officer or designee. Seller delivery and cure contact: Seller’s chief technology officer or designee.

Form of Escrow Agreement

 

This Escrow Agreement is entered into as of the Closing Date by and among iSpecimen Inc. (“Buyer”), Foldlab AI Ltd. (“Seller”) and the Escrow Agent, which shall be Buyer’s then-current transfer agent or other designee designated by Buyer, pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”).

 

1. Appointment; Deposit. The Escrow Agent shall hold the Stock Consideration (referred to in this Escrow Agreement as the “Escrowed Shares”), together with all dividends, distributions, split shares, replacement securities and other property attributable to them, in a segregated account. The Escrow Agent shall act only on (a) joint written instructions of Buyer and Seller, (b) a unilateral instruction expressly permitted by the Agreement, including an instruction to suspend release, after the notice and determination requirements applicable to that instruction have been satisfied, or (c) a final order. If instructions conflict or a dispute exists, the Escrow Agent shall continue to hold the property and may interplead the property or seek court directions without determining the merits of the dispute.

 

2. Five-Year Term; No Leak-Out. The escrow term begins on the Closing Date and ends on the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date. During the term, no Escrowed Share or economic interest may leak out: neither Seller, any Holder nor any transferee may sell, transfer, assign, pledge, hypothecate, hedge, short, lend, encumber or otherwise dispose of any Escrowed Share or related economic interest. No transfer will be recognized by Buyer, the issuer or the Escrow Agent unless the transferee first executes a written assumption of all restrictions and obligations applicable to the Escrowed Shares and the transfer otherwise complies with the Agreement, the Voting Rights Agreement and applicable Law. Any noncompliant transfer remains subject to these restrictions and does not release the transferor from liability.

 

3. Voting; Distributions. Voting rights and any proxy over the Escrowed Shares are governed by Exhibit F. Dividends, distributions, split shares, merger or reorganization consideration, replacement securities and other property attributable to the Escrowed Shares shall be deposited into the escrow account or otherwise held subject to this Agreement and the same restrictions, and may not be distributed to any Holder before the applicable release date.

 

4. Release. The Escrow Agent may release Escrowed Shares only after the escrow term ends, all required transfer restrictions and approvals are satisfied, and the Escrow Agent receives the release instructions required by this Agreement. No release is required, and Buyer may instruct the Escrow Agent to continue holding the Escrowed Shares, while a covered claim, setoff, escrow hold or final order remains outstanding. Any claim asserted by Buyer on or before the release date remains preserved and shall survive release until finally resolved, with the Escrow Agent continuing to hold the amount reasonably related to that claim as permitted by the Agreement.

 

5. Setoff and Claims. Buyer may instruct the Escrow Agent to suspend release for any claim asserted before the release date and may apply escrowed value only after a written agreement, final nonappealable determination or other legally compliant procedure establishes a covered Loss, subject to the notice and dispute procedures in the Agreement. Any cancellation, return, transfer or other disposition of Escrowed Shares in satisfaction of a Loss must be effected through that written agreement, final determination or other legally compliant procedure. No automatic forfeiture or cancellation applies.

6. Escrow Agent Protection. The Escrow Agent may rely on signed instructions and final orders, has no duty to investigate or resolve disputes, and is protected from liability except for its gross negligence, willful misconduct or fraud. If instructions conflict, the Escrow Agent may continue holding the property, interplead it or seek court directions. Buyer and Seller shall provide information reasonably required for tax, securities and regulatory compliance, and Seller shall reimburse the Escrow Agent for reasonable fees and expenses arising from a dispute or instruction attributable to Seller or a Holder.

 

7. Termination; Governing Law. This Agreement terminates only after all escrowed property has been released or otherwise disposed of under the Agreement and all timely asserted claims have been finally resolved, or earlier by written agreement of Buyer, Seller and the Escrow Agent that does not prejudice any accrued right. Delaware law governs, and the courts identified in Section 11.7 have exclusive jurisdiction.

EXHIBIT F

 

Form of Voting Rights Agreement

 

This Voting Rights Agreement is entered into as of the Closing Date by and among iSpecimen Inc. (“Buyer”), Foldlab AI Ltd. (“Seller”) and each holder identified in Section F-1 of the Seller Disclosure Schedule and listed on Schedule F-1, delivered to Buyer at least five (5) Business Days before Closing and approved by Buyer as a condition to Closing (each, a “Holder,” and collectively, the “Holders”), in connection with the Escrowed Shares issued under the Asset Purchase Agreement.

 

1. Voting Rights. During the escrow term, each Holder may vote its Escrowed Shares only through the procedures in this Agreement. Each Holder irrevocably appoints Buyer as its proxy and attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, to vote on matters relating to the issuance, listing, transfer restrictions, recapitalization, change of control or implementation of the transaction. If any proxy or portion of it is unenforceable, the affected Holder shall grant a replacement proxy or execute replacement voting instructions that most closely carry out this provision without violating Law.

 

2. No Impairment; No Leak-Out. No Holder shall vote, transfer or take any action with respect to its Escrowed Shares that would reasonably be expected to impair Buyer, its Affiliates, the Products, the transaction, the Nasdaq listing or compliance with securities Laws. The no-leak-out restrictions in Exhibit E apply to every Escrowed Share and related economic interest, including any prohibition on sale, transfer, pledge, hypothecation, hedge, short sale, loan or other disposition. Any transferee must assume these restrictions in writing before any transfer is recognized.

 

3. Voting Instructions. Each Holder shall execute voting instructions, proxies, consents and other documents reasonably requested by Buyer to implement the proxy and shall not revoke, supersede or impair them during the escrow term. If any proxy, instruction or voting arrangement is held unenforceable, the Holder shall promptly execute a replacement instrument that implements the same lawful intent. Buyer may withhold or modify instructions that would violate Law or the Agreement, and no such action waives Buyer’s rights.

 

4. Dividends and Corporate Actions. Any dividend, distribution, split, merger consideration, replacement security or other property attributable to the Escrowed Shares shall be delivered to or retained by the Escrow Agent and remain subject to the Escrow Agreement and this Agreement. No such property may be distributed to any Holder before the applicable release date, and any replacement security shall carry equivalent legends and restrictions to the extent permitted by Law.

 

5. Term; Enforcement. This Agreement remains effective through the fifth anniversary of Closing and until all obligations and timely asserted claims concerning the Escrowed Shares are satisfied or finally resolved. Buyer may seek specific performance, injunctive relief and other remedies without posting bond. No cancellation, return or forfeiture of Escrowed Shares occurs automatically; any such action must follow the written-agreement, final-determination or other legally compliant procedure in the Asset Purchase Agreement and Escrow Agreement.

6. Securities and Regulatory Compliance. Each Holder represents and warrants to Buyer that it will comply with applicable securities Laws, transfer restrictions, beneficial-ownership reporting, Nasdaq requirements and Buyer’s reasonable compliance procedures; is acquiring the Stock Consideration for its own account and investment and not with a view to distribution; is an accredited investor or otherwise satisfies the qualification for the exemption selected by Buyer, in each case to the extent required by that exemption; understands that the Stock Consideration will be restricted securities and that no registration, resale facility or liquidity is promised; and will accept the required restricted-security legends and execute all investor representations, tax forms, transfer documents and other securities-law information reasonably requested by Buyer. Seller shall cause each Holder to deliver to Buyer at least five (5) Business Days before Closing a complete Schedule F-1 identifying each Holder, its address, beneficial ownership, share count, tax forms and required securities filings, as reflected in Section F-1 of the Seller Disclosure Schedule and subject to Buyer’s approval as a condition to Closing.

 

7. Miscellaneous. This Agreement is governed by Delaware law, may be amended only in a writing signed by Buyer and the affected Holder, and may be assigned by Buyer in accordance with the Asset Purchase Agreement. No amendment or waiver releases a Holder from the transfer, escrow, voting, no-leak-out or securities-law restrictions unless Buyer expressly agrees in writing. This Agreement may be executed electronically in counterparts.
