or certificates (or an affidavit of loss with respect thereto) duly endorsed for transfer, the Shares represented thereby shall be deemed to have been purchased upon (i) the payment by the Company of the total purchase price or the first
installment thereof, as elected by the Company, for the purchased Shares to the Purchaser or 

  

 10 

 
(ii) notice to the Purchaser that the Company is holding the total purchase price or the first installment thereof, as elected by the Company, for the
purchased Shares for the account of the Purchaser, and upon such payment or notice, the Purchaser will have no further rights in or to such Shares. In the event that the Company elects to pay the repurchase price in three installments, upon receipt
of the stock certificate or certificates for the Shares, or payment or notice as described in the preceding sentence, the Company shall deliver to the Purchaser a non-negotiable promissory note with a principal amount equal to the unpaid
installments and bearing interest on the unpaid amount at a per annum rate equal to the prime rate as of the Termination Date, where the “prime rate” means the rate published as the prime rate for such day (or if such day is not a business
day, for the immediately preceding business day) by the Wall Street Journal or, if the Wall Street Journal does not publish the prime rate, by any publication or other source reasonably selected by the Company. Accrued and unpaid
interest under such note shall be payable on each installment payment date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that applicable law or regulation or any of the credit facilities provided to the Company or GSI Group prohibits or restricts
the Company or GSI Group from making any payments of or in respect of the purchase price for the purchased Shares, or the Board determines in good faith that it would not be prudent business judgment for the Company or GSI Group to make any payments
of or in respect of the purchase price for the purchased Shares, the Company may (x) defer its exercise of the Repurchase Right or any installment thereof for so long as such restriction or condition pertains or (y) assign its rights under
this Section 5.2(a) to any one or more of the Principal Stockholders. 
  
 (b) The Fair Market Value of Shares to be purchased hereunder by the Company or any of the Principal Stockholders, as the case may be, shall be determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors as of
the Termination Date. 
  
 (c) The Purchaser shall not be
considered to have ceased to be employed by GSI Group for purposes of this Agreement if the Purchaser continues to be employed by GSI Group or an Affiliate thereof. 
  
 (d) In the event that, on the Termination Date, the Purchaser owns Shares, including Option Shares that have not been owned
by the Purchaser for a period of at least six months, except in the case of termination due to death or Disability, with respect to all such Shares, the Repurchase Period will not commence on the Termination Date but rather will commence on the
first date on which all such Shares have been owned by the Purchaser for six months and a day. In the event that following the Termination Date, the Purchaser exercises any then outstanding vested stock options, with respect to such Option Shares,
except in the case of termination due to death or Disability the Repurchase Period will not commence on the Termination Date but rather will commence on the first date on which all such Option Shares have been owned by the Purchaser for six months
and a day. 
  
 (e) The Purchaser acknowledges that certain amounts
owed or paid to the Purchaser under this Section 5.2 may be subject to forfeiture in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Executive Severance and Restrictive Covenant Agreement. 
  
 SECTION 5.3. Lock-up Arrangements. If requested in writing by the
underwriters for an underwritten public offering of Common Stock of the Company, the Purchaser shall agree not to sell or transfer any Shares (other than Shares being registered in such 

  

 11 

 
offering) without the consent of such underwriters for a period of at least (a) 180 calendar days following the effective date of the registration
statement relating to the Initial Public Offering, and (b) 90 calendar days following the effective date of the registration statement relating to any other underwritten public offering, and to execute and deliver any form of agreement
requested by such underwriter reasonably and in good faith to evidence the agreements of the Purchaser set forth herein. 
  
 SECTION 5.4. Drag Along Rights. (a) If any Principal Stockholder, acting singly or in combination with any other Principal Stockholder
(collectively, the “Selling Principal Stockholders”), proposes to enter into a transaction or series of related transactions (collectively, the “Drag Along Transaction”) pursuant to which the Selling Principal
Stockholders shall transfer to any transferee a Controlling Interest, then the Selling Principal Stockholders may require the Purchaser to sell, or cause to be sold, and the Purchaser shall be obligated to sell or cause to be sold, which obligation
shall be enforceable by the Company, to the proposed transferee in the Drag Along Transaction any or all Shares owned by the Purchaser for the same relative consideration received by the Selling Principal Stockholders in the Drag Along Transaction
and otherwise on the same terms and conditions obtained by the Selling Principal Stockholders in the Drag Along Transaction. The Selling Principal Stockholders shall provide a written notice of such sale to the Purchaser not less than 10 calendar
days prior to the closing of such sale. 
  
 (b) At the closing of
any sale of Common Stock contemplated in Section 5.4(a), the Purchaser agrees to take all actions in connection with the consummation of the proposed Transfer as may reasonably be requested by the Principal Stockholders, including the delivery
of a certificate or certificates representing the Purchaser’s Shares, duly endorsed in blank or otherwise in suitable form for transfer, against payment in full of the purchase price therefor. The Purchaser agrees to take all reasonable and
necessary action to cause the consummation of any Transfers to which Section 5.4(a) applies, including voting its Common Stock (whether at an annual or special meeting of the Company, whether by written consent, proxy or otherwise, and whether
or not at an adjourned meeting) in favor of such Transfer and not exercising any appraisal rights in connection therewith. The Company shall take all actions necessary within its control to cooperate with and give effect to any Transfers to which
Section 5.4(a) applies. 
  
 SECTION 5.5. Tag-Along
Right. (a) In the event that the Selling Principal Stockholders propose to enter into a transaction or series of related transactions (collectively, the “Tag Along Transaction”), pursuant to which the Selling Principal
Stockholders shall transfer to any transferee shares of Common Stock constituting more than 50% of the then outstanding shares of Capital Stock held by all the Principal Stockholders, and the Selling Principal Stockholders do not elect, or do not
have the right to elect, to require the sale of the Shares of the Purchaser pursuant to Section 5.4(a), such Selling Principal Stockholders shall notify the Purchaser in writing of such proposed Transfer and its terms and conditions. Within 10
calendar days after the date of such notice, the Purchaser shall notify the Selling Principal Stockholders in writing if the Purchaser elects to participate in such Transfer. If the Purchaser fails to notify the Selling Principal Stockholders within
such 10 calendar day period, the Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived its rights hereunder. If the Purchaser notifies the Selling Principal Stockholders that it intends to participate in the Tag Along Transaction, the Purchaser shall have the
right to sell at the same price and on the same terms and conditions as the Selling Principal 

  

 12 

 
Stockholders, a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the shares of Common Stock the third party actually proposes to purchase from the Selling Principal
Stockholders multiplied by the Proportionate Percentage. Nothing in this Section 5.5 shall be construed to limit the ability of the Selling Principal Stockholders to complete the Transfer prior to the passage of 15 calendar days,
provided that sufficient provision is made to permit the Purchaser to complete the sale of his or her stock hereunder within 10 calendar days of the election by the Purchaser to exercise such rights. 
  
 (b) This Section 5.5 will not apply to any Transfer of Common Stock by
any Principal Stockholder to an Affiliate of any Principal Stockholder. 
  
 SECTION 5.6. Subscription Rights. (a) Subject to the provisions of Section 5.6(b), the Company will not issue, sell, or enter into any agreements or commitments pursuant to which it becomes obligated to issue or sell, any
shares of its Common Stock, or any warrants, options or other securities convertible or exchangeable into such shares of Common Stock, excluding any debt securities convertible or exchangeable into shares of Common Stock, unless the Company first
offers (the “Subscription Rights Offer”) in writing to sell to the Purchaser, at the same price and on the same terms and conditions, the Purchaser’s Proportionate Percentage of such securities proposed to be offered by the
Company. Such Subscription Rights Offer will remain outstanding for at least 10 calendar days from the date of such notice and will be exercised by the Purchaser by giving written notice to the Company within such period. 
  
 (b) The Subscription Rights Offer shall not apply to: (i) the issuance
of any shares of Capital Stock or by any of the Company’s subsidiaries other equity securities, or any warrants, options or other securities convertible or exchangeable into such shares, to directors, officers, employees, advisors or
consultants of the Company or any of its subsidiaries pursuant to an incentive compensation, bonus, stock option, stock grant, stock purchase or other similar plan or arrangement approved by the Company’s Board of Directors (provided that the
foregoing shall not include issuances to directors or officers who are employees of the Principal Stockholders), (ii) the issuance to the Principal Stockholders of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the Notes at a conversion price equal
to or greater than $100.00 per share of Common Stock (as adjusted on a proportionate basis for stock splits, stock dividends or similar events), (iii) the issuance of shares of Common Stock within 270 days of the date hereof the proceeds of
which shall be used to repay the Notes, (iv) issuances to third party equipment lessors, banks, financial institutions, manufacturers, vendors, suppliers, consultants or similar Persons in arm’s-length transactions approved by the
Company’s Board of Directors, the principal purpose of which is other than the raising of capital, (v) issuances as consideration in connection with an acquisition of a third party on an arm’s-length basis by the Company or one of its
subsidiaries, (vi) issuances in a merger with a third party on an arm’s-length basis involving the Company or one of its subsidiaries that is approved by the Company’s Board of Directors, the principal purpose of which is other than
the raising of capital, (vii) any arm’s-length borrowing, direct or indirect, from financial institutions or other Persons by the Company, including any type of loan or payment evidenced by any type of debt instrument, including borrowings
that have equity features, including warrants, options or other rights to purchase Capital Stock, or are convertible into or exchangeable for Capital Stock, (viii) the issuance of any securities by the Company in a firmly underwritten public
offering, or (xi) issuances pursuant to a stock split, stock dividend, reclassification or other distribution made on a pro rata basis to all holders of Capital Stock.
