4.1 Authority. Seller has the right, power, authority, and capacity to execute and deliver this Agreement, consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, and perform his obligations under this Agreement. Subject to execution and delivery by Purchaser, this Agreement constitutes the legal, valid, and binding obligations of Seller, enforceable against Seller in accordance with the terms hereof.

4.2 Ownership.

(a) Seller is the sole record and beneficial owner of the Sold Assets, has good and marketable title to the Sold Assets, free and clear of all Encumbrances (hereafter defined), other than applicable restrictions under applicable securities laws, and has or will have full legal right and power to sell, transfer and deliver the Sold Assets to Purchaser in accordance with this Agreement.

(b) “Encumbrances” means any liens, pledges, hypothecations, charges, adverse claims, options, preferential arrangements or restrictions of any kind, including, without limitation, any restriction of the use, voting, transfer, receipt of income or other exercise of any attributes of ownership. Upon the execution and delivery of this Agreement, Purchaser will receive good and marketable title to the Sold Assets, free and clear of all Encumbrances, other than restrictions imposed pursuant to any applicable securities laws and regulations. There are no stockholders’ agreements, voting trusts, proxies, options, rights of first refusal or any other agreements or understandings with respect to the Securities.

4.3 Valid Issuance. The Sold Assets are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, and were not and will not be issued in violation of any preemptive or similar rights.

4.4 No Conflict. None of the execution, delivery, or performance of this Agreement, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, conflicts or will conflict with, or (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both) result in a termination, breach or violation of (i) any instrument, contract or agreement to which the Seller is a party or by which any of his assets is bound, or to which the Sold Assets are subject; or (ii) any federal, state, local or foreign law, ordinance, judgment, decree, order, statute, or regulation, or that of any other governmental body or authority, applicable to the Seller or the Sold Assets.

4.5 No Consent. Except as required by applicable securities laws, no consent, approval, authorization or order of, or any filing or declaration with any governmental authority or any other person is required for the consummation by the Seller of any of the transactions on its part contemplated under this Agreement.

4.6 No Other Interest. Neither the Seller nor any of his affiliates has any interest, direct or indirect, in any shares of capital stock or other equity in the Issuer, other than the Securities and 10,000 shares of common stock of the Company.

4.7 Capitalization. The authorized capital of the Issuer (the “Authorized Stock”), as of execution of this Agreement, consists of 100,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.01, of which a total of 1,348,974 shares are issued and outstanding, and (ii) 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01, of which a total of 250 Series D Preferred and 550,000 Series E Preferred shares are issued and outstanding, with the Series E Rights to an additional 2,450,000 Series E Preferred shares.

4.8 Filings. The Issuer has filed all reports and other materials required to be filed by Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (the “Reports”). Where a Report has been untimely filed, neither the Seller nor the Issuer has received any indication that the Securities and Exchange Commission or any other governmental or regulatory authority intends to take the position that the Issuer is in breach of the Exchange Act despite such filing. In the event the Seller and/or the Issuer receive any notification from the Securities and Exchange Commission or any other governmental or regulatory authority on any intention to claim the Issuer is in breach of the Exchange Act for any late filings, the Seller and/or Issuer shall forthwith notify the Purchaser of the same.

4.10 Nasdaq. The Issuer’s common stock is listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”).

Other than as disclosed on Schedule 4.7 and Schedule 4.11, the Issuer is not a party to or bound by any agreement or understanding granting anti-dilution rights to any person with respect to any of its equity or debt securities; no person has a right to purchase or acquire or receive any equity or debt security of the Issuer.

4.12 Further Assistance. The Seller agrees to execute and deliver such other documents and to perform such other acts as shall be necessary to effectuate the purposes of this Agreement.

4.15 Tax Returns. The Issuer has filed all state, federal or local income and/or franchise tax returns required to be filed by it from inception to the date hereof. Each such income tax return reflects the taxes due for the period covered thereby, except for amounts which, in the aggregate, are immaterial. In addition, to the knowledge of the Seller after due and careful inquiry, all such tax returns are correct and complete in all material respects. All taxes of the Issuer which are (i) shown as due on such tax returns, (ii) otherwise due and payable or (iii) claimed or asserted by any taxing authority to be due, have been paid. There are no liens for any taxes upon the assets of the Issuer, other than statutory liens for taxes not yet due and payable. To the knowledge of the Seller after due and careful inquiry, there are no proposed or threatened tax claims or assessments.

4.16 Books and Records. The books and records, financial and otherwise, of the Issuer are in all material aspects complete and correct and have been maintained in accordance with good business and accounting practices.

4.17 Financial Statements. To the knowledge of the Seller after due and careful inquiry, each of the Issuer’s financial statements included in the Reports has been prepared according to United States generally accepted accounting principles, as amended from time to time (“US GAAP”). Such financial statements fairly present, in all material respects, the financial condition and results of operations of the Issuer and its consolidated subsidiaries, if any, as of the times and for the periods referred to therein, and there are no off-balance sheet arrangements to which the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries is a party.

4.18 Undisclosed Liabilities. As of the date of this Agreement, there are no liabilities or obligations of any kind, whether accrued, contingent, absolute, inchoate or otherwise (collectively, “Liabilities”) of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, individually or in the aggregate, that are required to be recorded or reflected on a balance sheet prepared in accordance with US GAAP, other than Liabilities reflected or reserved against in the financial statements (or the notes thereto) included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. Except as set forth in Schedule 4.18, if provided, there are no Liabilities of the Company or any of its subsidiaries individually in excess of $50,000 or that in aggregate exceed $100,000.

4.19 Absence of Material Adverse Effect. Since the date of the Issuer’s latest audited financial statements filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Exchange Act on Form 10-Q, there has been no effect which, individually or in the aggregate with any one or more other effects, would reasonably be expected to (x) result in a material adverse effect on the business, assets, liabilities, results of operations or financial condition of the Group.

4.20 Full Disclosure. To the knowledge of the Seller after due and careful inquiry, no representation or warranty of the Seller to Purchaser in this Agreement omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements herein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading. There is no fact known to the Seller that has specific application to the Securities or the Issuer that materially adversely affects or, as far as can be reasonably foreseen, materially threatens the Securities or the Issuer that has not been set forth in this Agreement.

4.21 Affiliate Status. The Seller is an “affiliate,” as defined in Rule 144(a), promulgated under Section 4(a)(1) of the Securities Act of 1933.

4.23 Settlement Agreement. The Settlement Agreement by and between OpGen, Inc. and the European Investment Bank (“EIB”), originally dated March 25, 2024, which was amended on May 16, 2024 (“EIB Settlement Agreement”), has passed its time for performance. With that in mind, the Seller warrants that to the best of its knowledge that upon prompt payment by OpGen of the amounts due under the EIB Settlement Agreement, EIB will still abide by and accept the terms and conditions of the expired EIB Settlement Agreement and will not seek to renegotiate the terms or conditions of the Settlement Agreement. The Purchaser is relying upon this warranty made by the Seller for its inducement to purchase the Series E and the Series E Rights, and the Purchaser would not have purchased the Series E Rights had such warranty not been made.

4.24 Series E. The Seller acknowledges that the Series E Rights being purchased through the Series E SPA may have expired. The Seller warrants that it has agreed with OpGen, Inc. to extend the Series E Rights agreement through the Series E SPA until August 31, 2024, so that the Purchaser can exercise its right to purchase the additional 2,450,000 shares of Series E for $2,450,000 as described above.

Each of the parties, by execution and delivery of this Agreement, expressly and irrevocably (i) consents and submits to the personal jurisdiction of any of such courts in any such action or proceeding; (ii) consents to the service of any complaint, summons, notice or other process relating to any such action or proceeding by delivery thereof to such party as set forth in Section 7.2 above and (iii) waives any claim or defense in any such action or proceeding based on any alleged lack of personal jurisdiction, improper venue or forum non conveniens or any similar basis. EACH OF THE UNDERSIGNED HEREBY WAIVES FOR ITSELF AND ITS PERMITTED SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING INSTITUTED IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT.

8.4 Entire Agreement. This Agreement sets forth the entire agreement and understanding of the parties in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements, arrangements and understandings of the parties relating to the subject matter hereof. No representation, promise, inducement, waiver of rights, agreement or statement of intention has been made by any of the parties which is not expressly embodied in this Agreement.

8.5 Assignment. Each party’s rights and obligations under this Agreement shall not be assigned or delegated, by operation of law or otherwise, without the other party’s prior written consent, and any such assignment or attempted assignment shall be void, of no force or effect, and shall constitute a material default by such party.

8.6 Amendments. This Agreement may be amended, modified, superseded or cancelled, and any of the terms, covenants, representations, warranties or conditions hereof may be waived, only by a written instrument executed by the parties hereto.

8.7 Waivers. The failure of any party at any time or times to require performance of any provision hereof shall in no manner affect the right at a later time to enforce the same. No waiver by any party of any condition, or the breach of any term, covenant, representation or warranty contained in this Agreement, whether by conduct or otherwise, in any one or more instances shall be deemed to be or construed as a further or continuing waiver of any such condition or breach or a waiver of any other term, covenant, representation or warranty of this Agreement.

8.8 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in two or more counterparts and by facsimile, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

8.9 Severability. If any term, provisions, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or other authority to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such determination, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

8.10 Interpretation. The parties agree that this Agreement shall be deemed to have been jointly and equally drafted by them, and that the provisions of this Agreement therefore shall not be construed against a party or parties on the ground that such party or parties drafted or was more responsible for the drafting of any such provision(s). The parties further agree that they have each carefully read the terms and conditions of this Agreement, that they know and understand the contents and effect of this Agreement and that the legal effect of this Agreement has been fully explained to its satisfaction by counsel of its own choosing.

8.11 Headings. The headings contained in this Agreement are intended solely for convenience and shall not affect the interpretation of the Agreement or the rights of the parties.
