Item 1.03. Bankruptcy or Receivership.

Voluntary Petitions for Bankruptcy

On October 1, 2024, BIOLASE, Inc. (the “Company”) and its direct domestic subsidiaries (together with the Company, the “Debtors”) filed voluntary petitions for relief (the “Bankruptcy Petitions”) under chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Bankruptcy Court”). The Debtors will continue to operate their businesses as “debtors-in-possession” under the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and orders of the Bankruptcy Court. The Debtors filed with the Bankruptcy Court various “first day” motions, requesting customary relief that will enable them to transition into chapter 11 and uphold their commitments to stakeholders during the process without material disruption to their ordinary course operations.

Additionally, the Debtors filed with the Bankruptcy Court a motion seeking approval of certain procedures relating to the marketing and auction (if necessary) of all or some of the Company’s assets, including approval of the Asset Purchase Agreement and the Bidding Procedures (as defined below).

The Company has engaged SSG Capital Advisors, LLC, to advise on its strategic options, including a potential sale of all or some of the Company’s assets in connection with the Bankruptcy Petitions. Any of those sales would be subject to review and approval by the Bankruptcy Court and compliance with court-approved bidding procedures. The Company cannot be certain that the Company’s securityholders will receive any payment or other distribution on account of their shares following such sales.

Additional information about the Bankruptcy Petitions, including access to Bankruptcy Court documents, is available online at https://dm.epiq11.com/Biolase, a website administered by Epiq Corporate Restructuring, LLC, a third-party bankruptcy claims and noticing agent. The documents and other information on this website are not part of this Current Report on Form 8-K and shall not be deemed incorporated by reference herein.

Asset Purchase Agreement

On September 30, 2024, the Debtors entered into a “stalking horse” asset purchase agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) with Sonendo, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Purchaser”), pursuant to which the Purchaser has agreed to acquire substantially all of the Debtors’ assets (the “Transferred Assets”). The acquisition of the Transferred Assets by the Purchaser pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement is subject to approval of the Bankruptcy Court and one or more auctions, if necessary, to solicit higher or otherwise better bids. On October 1, 2024, the Debtors filed a motion (the “Bidding Procedures Motion”) seeking approval of, among other things, certain bidding procedures (the “Bidding Procedures”), which will establish procedures for the selection of the highest or otherwise best bids for the sale of the Transferred Assets and other assets. Other interested bidders would be permitted to participate in the auction if they submit qualifying bids that are higher or otherwise better than the Asset Purchase Agreement. The Asset Purchase Agreement acts as a baseline for competitive bids for the acquisition of the Transferred Assets. The Bidding Procedures Motion additionally seeks the Bankruptcy Court’s approval of the Asset Purchase Agreement and designation of the Purchaser as the “stalking horse” bidder for the Transferred Assets.

Under the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Purchaser has agreed, subject to the Bankruptcy Court’s approval and absent any higher or otherwise better bid, to acquire the Transferred Assets from the Debtors for (a) $14.0 million in cash paid at closing, subject to a working capital adjustment; plus (b) assumption of certain Assumed Liabilities (as defined in the Asset Purchase Agreement); plus (c) the Delaware Litigation Settlement Value (as defined in the Asset Purchase Agreement). The Asset Purchase Agreement includes customary representations and warranties and various customary covenants under the circumstances that are subject to certain limitations, including, without limitation, a break-up fee, expense reimbursement and the right to designate executory contracts and unexpired leases to assume or reject.

The foregoing description of the Bidding Procedures and the Asset Purchase Agreement remains subject to approval by the Bankruptcy Court, is not complete, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Asset Purchase Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and is incorporated by reference herein.

DIP Financing

In connection with the Bankruptcy Petitions, the Debtors filed a motion seeking Bankruptcy Court approval of a debtor-in-possession financing on the terms set forth in that certain Terms and Conditions of Proposed Senior Secured, Super-Priority Debtor-in-Possession Credit Facility (the “DIP Term Sheet”), by and among the Company, as a borrower, and SWK Funding LLC, as DIP Lender and Agent. The DIP Term Sheet provides for a senior secured super-priority debtor-in-possession financing (the “DIP Financing”) in an aggregate amount of no less than $2.5 million. The DIP Financing will become available up to an amount of $1.43 million upon the satisfaction of customary conditions precedent thereto, including the entry of an order of the Bankruptcy Court approving the DIP Financing on an interim basis. Subject to entry of an order of the Bankruptcy Court approving the DIP Financing on a final basis, the DIP Obligations (as defined in the DIP Term Sheet) will include $2,500,000 advanced by SWK to the Debtors between September 3, 2024, and September 30, 2024.

The proceeds of the DIP Financing will be used by the Company to (a) fund, after application of all other available cash, post-petition operating expenses and working capital needs of the Company, including, but not limited to, those activities required to remain in, or return to, compliance with laws in accordance with 28 U.S.C. § 1930; (b) pay interest, fees and expenses to SWK in accordance with the DIP Term Sheet (whether or not such amounts are reflected in the Budget (as defined in the DIP Term Sheet)); (c) fund fees and expenses incurred in connection with the 363 Sale (as defined in the DIP Term Sheet); (d) pay permitted prepetition claims and adequate protection payments, if any; (e) pay Professional Fees (as defined in the DIP Term Sheet) provided for in the Budget, including funding of the Carve Out (as defined in the DIP Term Sheet); and (f) pay other costs and expenses of administration of the chapter 11 cases.

The maturity date of the loans made under the DIP Financing is the date that is one hundred-twenty (120) days after the Petition Date, or such later date to which SWK consents in writing.

Subject to certain exceptions, the DIP Financing will be secured by a first priority perfected priming security interest in all of the assets of the Company. The security interests and liens are subject only to certain carve-outs and certain permitted liens, as set forth in the DIP Term Sheet. The DIP Financing is subject to certain milestones, customary covenants, and events of default as set forth in the DIP Term Sheet.

The foregoing description of the DIP Term Sheet is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the DIP Term Sheet filed with the Bankruptcy Court.

Item 2.04. Triggering Events That Accelerate or Increase a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement.

The filing of the Bankruptcy Petitions described in Item 1.03 above constitutes an event of default that accelerates the Company’s obligations under the following agreements: that certain Credit Agreement, dated November 9, 2018 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”) by and among the Company, the lender parties thereto (each a “Lender” and together, the “Lenders”), and SWK (the “Credit Agreement”); and those certain standard loan documents required for an unsecured loan, dated as of May 22, 2020 (the “SBA Loan”) by and among the Company and the U.S. Small Business Administration(collectively, the “Financial Obligation Agreements”). The Financial Obligation Agreements provide that as a result of the Bankruptcy Petitions described in Item 1.03 above, all obligations to pay any debts, principal, interest, fees, expenses, and other amounts due thereunder shall be immediately due and payable. Any efforts to enforce such payment obligations under the Financial Obligation Agreements are automatically stayed as a result of the Bankruptcy Petitions, and the creditors’ rights of enforcement in respect of the Financial Obligation Agreements are subject to the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code.

Item 8.01. Other Events.

On October 1, 2024, the Company issued a press release announcing the filing of the Bankruptcy Petitions. A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and is incorporated by reference herein.

Cautionary Statements Regarding Trading in the Company’s Securities

The Company’s securityholders are cautioned that trading in the Company’s securities during the pendency of the Bankruptcy Petitions is highly speculative and poses substantial risks. Trading prices for the Company’s securities may bear little or no relationship to the actual recovery, if any, by the Company’s securityholders in the Bankruptcy Petitions. Accordingly, the Company urges extreme caution with respect to existing and future investments in its securities. In particular, the Company expects that its securityholders could experience a significant or complete loss on their investment, depending on the outcome of the Bankruptcy Petitions.

These forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effects. There can be no assurance that future developments affecting the Company will be those anticipated.

(b) To the extent that Purchaser makes a valid designation with respect to any asset pursuant to Section 2.3(a), the applicable Exhibits and Schedules to this Agreement will be deemed to have automatically been updated (without action of any Party or Person) to reflect such designation.

(c) If Purchaser exercises its rights pursuant to Section 2.3(a), to designate an asset as an Excluded Asset, then the Parties acknowledge and agree that there will be no reduction of the Purchase Price as a result of such designation or change in designation, nor will there be any delay to the Closing.

2.5 Excluded Liabilities. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Purchaser and the Designee shall not assume, be deemed to have assumed, be obligated to assume or be obliged to pay, perform or otherwise discharge, or in any other way be liable or responsible for, any Liabilities other than the Assumed Liabilities (all Liabilities not assumed by Purchaser pursuant to Section 2.4, collectively, the “Excluded Liabilities”) and Sellers and their Affiliates shall be solely and exclusively liable with respect to all such Liabilities. Without limiting the foregoing, Purchaser shall not be obligated to assume, and does not assume, and hereby disclaims all of the Excluded Liabilities, which, for the avoidance of doubt, include:

Each assignable Purchased Contract that Purchaser does not elect to remove from the list of Purchased Contracts, as applicable, pursuant to Section 7.7 shall be a Purchased Contract.

The cure amounts, as determined by the Bankruptcy Court, if any (the “Cure Amounts”), necessary to cure all defaults, if any, and to pay all actual or pecuniary losses that have resulted from such defaults under the Purchased Contracts and Assumed Leases, shall be paid by (i) Sellers up to $100,000 and (ii) Purchaser for any Cure Amount in excess of $100,000, on or before Closing.

2.8 Bulk Sales Law. Pursuant to Section 363(f) of the Bankruptcy Code, the transfer of the Purchased Assets shall be free and clear of any Liens, Claims, and Interests, including any Liens, Claims, and Interests arising out of the bulk transfer laws, and the Parties shall take such steps as may be necessary or appropriate to so provide in the Sale Order.

To the extent such amounts are so deducted or withheld, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been paid to the Person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid.

Article III

CONSIDERATION

3.1 Consideration. The aggregate consideration for the Purchased Assets shall be (collectively, the “Estimated Purchase Price”, and the Estimated Purchase Price as finally adjusted in accordance with this Agreement, the “Purchase Price”):

(a) an amount in cash equal to (i) $14,000,000, minus (ii) the Estimated Working Capital Shortfall (if any);

(b) the assumption of the Assumed Liabilities; plus

3.2 Good Faith Deposit.

(a) Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, Purchaser, Biolase and the Escrow Agent have entered into the Good Faith Deposit Escrow Agreement. Concurrently with execution of this Agreement, Purchaser shall pay, or cause to be paid, to the Escrow Agent the Good Faith Deposit, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, which shall be deposited by the Escrow Agent into the Good Faith Deposit Escrow Account and shall be held, safeguarded and released pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Good Faith Deposit Escrow Agreement, and the Bidding Procedures Order. The Good Faith Deposit shall not be subject to any Lien, Action, interests, attachment, trustee process, or any other judicial process of any creditor of any Seller or Purchaser.

(b) The Good Faith Deposit shall be released from the Good Faith Deposit Escrow Account by the Escrow Agent and delivered to either Purchaser or Biolase, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, the Good Faith Deposit Escrow Agreement and the Bidding Procedures Order as follows (and Purchaser and Biolase shall deliver joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent, within three (3) Business Days, to effect such distributions as and when required hereunder):

(i) if the Closing occurs, the Good Faith Deposit shall be released from the Good Faith Deposit Escrow Account to Biolase (on behalf of itself and the other Sellers) and applied towards the amount payable by Purchaser pursuant to Section 4.3(a);

(ii) if this Agreement has been terminated by the Sellers pursuant to Section 4.4(d)(i) or Section 4.4(d)(ii) then the Good Faith Deposit shall be released from

the Good Faith Deposit Escrow Account to Biolase (on behalf of itself and the other Sellers); and

(iii) if this Agreement has been terminated by any Party, other than as contemplated by Section 3.2(b)(ii), then the Good Faith Deposit shall be released from the Good Faith Deposit Escrow Account to Purchaser.

(c) The Parties agree that (i) the provisions of this Section 3.2 are an integral part of the Transactions and, without these agreements, the Parties would not have entered into this Agreement, (ii) the Good Faith Deposit represents a good faith estimate of damages that Sellers would suffer and shall constitute liquidated damages and not a penalty and shall require the Sellers to prove actual damages, (iii) under no circumstance shall the Good Faith Deposit be payable or retained on more than one occasion, (iv) under no circumstance shall any Seller be permitted or entitled to receive both grant of specific performance and receive any payment of the Good Faith Deposit or other monetary damages, and (v) under no circumstance shall Sellers, their Affiliates and their Related Persons be entitled to aggregate monetary damages, as a result of the failure of the Transactions to be consummated or for a breach or failure to perform hereunder or for any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation made or alleged to have been made in connection with this Agreement, other than the Good Faith Deposit. Purchaser’s Affiliates and its and their Related Persons are intended third party beneficiaries of this Section 3.2.

3.3 Purchase Price Adjustment.

(a) At least five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Biolase shall deliver to Purchaser a reasonably detailed statement (the “Pre-Closing Statement”) setting forth the Sellers’ good faith estimate of (i) the Estimated Working Capital, as well as the resulting Estimated Working Capital Shortfall (if any); provided, that, for the avoidance of doubt, Purchaser shall in no event be required to pay any additional purchase price if the Estimated Working Capital is greater than the Working Capital Target, and (ii) the resulting Estimated Purchase Price, in each case, calculated in accordance with the Accounting Methodology. Biolase shall consider in good faith any comments or objections to any amounts set forth on the Pre-Closing Statement notified to it by Purchaser prior to the Closing and if, prior to the Closing, Biolase and Purchaser agree to make any modification to the Pre-Closing Statement, then the Pre-Closing Statement as so modified shall be deemed to be the Pre-Closing Statement.

(b) Within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall deliver to Biolase a reasonably detailed statement (the “Post-Closing Statement”) setting forth Purchaser’s good faith calculation of (i) the Closing Working Capital, as well as the resulting Closing Working Capital Excess (if any) or Closing Working Capital Shortfall (if any), as the case may be and (ii) the resulting adjustments to the Estimated Purchase Price, in each case, calculated in accordance with the Accounting Methodology.

(c) After receipt of the Post-Closing Statement, Biolase shall have thirty (30) days (the “Review Period”) to review the Post-Closing Statement. During the Review Period, Biolase and its accountants shall have access to the books and records of the Business, the personnel of, and work papers prepared by, Purchaser and/or Purchaser’s accountants to the extent that they relate to the Post-Closing Statement and to such historical financial information (to the

extent in the Purchaser’s possession) relating to the Post-Closing Statement, as Biolase may reasonably request for the purpose of reviewing the Post-Closing Statement; provided, that such access shall be in a manner that does not interfere with the normal business operations of Purchaser or the Business. The Post-Closing Statement shall become final and binding upon the Parties following the expiration of the Review Period unless Biolase delivers written notice of its disagreement with the Post-Closing Statement (a “Notice of Disagreement”) to Purchaser prior to such date. Any Notice of Disagreement shall specify in reasonable detail Biolase’s objections to the Post-Closing Statement, indicating each disputed item or amount and the basis for Biolase’s disagreement therewith. Any items set forth in the Post-Closing Statement that are not objected to by Biolase in a Notice of Disagreement during the Resolution Period shall be deemed to become final and binding upon the Parties. If a Notice of Disagreement is received by Purchaser prior to the expiration of the Review Period, then during the thirty (30) day period (the “Resolution Period”) following the delivery of a Notice of Disagreement, Biolase and Purchaser shall negotiate in good faith to resolve in writing any differences that they may have with respect to the matters specified in the Notice of Disagreement. If such differences are so resolved within the Resolution Period, the revised Post-Closing Statement with such changes as may have been previously agreed in writing by Purchaser and Biolase shall be final and binding. If at the end of the Resolution Period Biolase and Purchaser have not resolved in writing the matters specified in the Notice of Disagreement, Biolase and Purchaser shall submit any amounts remaining in dispute to the Accounting Firm, who, acting as experts and not arbitrators, shall resolve such disputed amounts only and make any adjustments to the Post-Closing Statement. Purchaser and Biolase agree that all adjustments shall be made without regard to materiality. The Accounting Firm shall render a written decision resolving the matters submitted to the Accounting Firm as soon as practicable, and in any event within thirty (30) days of the receipt of such submission (or such other time as the Parties shall agree in writing). The scope of the disputes to be resolved by the Accounting Firm shall be limited to fixing mathematical errors and determining whether the items in dispute were determined in accordance with the Accounting Methodology and the terms of this Agreement, and no other matters. The Accounting Firm’s decision shall be (w) limited to the specific items under dispute by the Parties (x) based solely on written submissions by Biolase and Purchaser and their respective Representatives (and it shall not permit or authorize discovery or hear testimony) and not by independent review, (y) made strictly in accordance with the Accounting Methodology and the terms of this Agreement and (z) final and binding on all of the Parties absent manifest error. The Accounting Firm may not assign a value greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by either Party or smaller than the smallest value for such item claimed by either Party. The fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm incurred pursuant to this Section 3.3(c) shall be borne pro rata as between the Sellers, on the one hand, and Purchaser, on the other hand, in proportion to the final allocation made by such Accounting Firm of the disputed items weighted in relation to the claims made by Biolase and Purchaser, such that the prevailing Party pays the lesser proportion of such fees, costs and expenses.

(d) Within five (5) Business Days after the final determination of the Final Working Capital, the Closing Working Capital Shortfall (if any), the Closing Working Capital Excess (if any) and the resulting Purchase Price, the following payments shall be made, as applicable:

(i) If the Purchase Price is greater than the Estimated Purchase Price calculated at the Closing (such excess, the “Adjustment Surplus Amount”), then (1)

Purchaser shall pay (or caused to be paid) the Adjustment Surplus Amount to Biolase (on behalf of itself and the other Sellers), by wire transfer of immediately available funds, to an account designated in writing by Biolase and (2) Biolase and Purchaser shall execute and deliver a joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent, in accordance with the Adjustment Escrow Agreement, instructing the Escrow Agent to release to Biolase (on behalf of itself and the other Sellers), from the Adjustment Escrow Account, the Adjustment Escrow Amount; and

(ii) If the Purchase Price is less than the Estimated Purchase Price calculated at the Closing (such deficit, expressed as a positive number, the “Adjustment Deficit Amount”), then Biolase and Purchaser shall execute and deliver a joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent, in accordance with the Adjustment Escrow Agreement, instructing the Escrow Agent to release to Purchaser, from the Adjustment Escrow Account, an amount equal to such Adjustment Deficit Amount, and in the event that such Adjustment Deficit Amount is:

(A) less than the Adjustment Escrow Amount, then such joint written instruction shall further direct the Escrow Agent to release to Biolase (on behalf of itself and the other Sellers), from the Adjustment Escrow Account, any remaining portion of the Adjustment Escrow Amount (after such release of the Adjustment Deficit Amount to Purchaser) or

(B) greater than the Adjustment Escrow Amount, then the Sellers, shall pay, or cause to be paid, to Purchaser, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account designated in writing by Purchaser, an amount equal to the remaining portion of such Adjustment Deficit Amount to Purchaser.

3.4 Allocation of Purchase Price Among the Sellers. At least ten (10) Business Days prior to the anticipated Closing Date, Biolase shall provide Purchaser an allocation methodology (reflected as a percentage) of the amounts required to be paid by Purchaser pursuant to Section 4.3(a) among each Seller (the “Closing Payment Allocation Schedule”). In the event the Purchaser notifies Biolase that it disagrees with the Closing Payment Allocation Schedule delivered by Purchaser within three (3) Business Days of delivery of the Closing Payment Allocation Schedule by Biolase, Purchaser and Biolase shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such disputed items as promptly as practicable; provided that, if Purchaser does not deliver a notice of disagreement to Biolase within three (3) Business Days of delivery of the Closing Payment Allocation Schedule by Biolase, the Closing Payment Allocation Schedule delivered by the Sellers shall be final. If Purchaser and Biolase are unable to reach agreement with respect to the Closing Payment Allocation Schedule within three (3) Business Days after the delivery of the Closing Payment Allocation Schedule by Biolase to Purchaser, the Parties shall submit the dispute to the Bankruptcy Court for final resolution.

If payable, the Break-Up Fee shall be payable simultaneously with any applicable termination. Upon filing the Bankruptcy Cases, the Break-Up Fee shall constitute an allowed superpriority administrative claim against Sellers’

bankruptcy estates pursuant to sections 105(a), 363, 364, 503(b), and 507(a)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, with priority over all other administrative expenses of the kind.

administrative priority expense under Sections 503(b) and 507(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code.

The Parties hereto specifically acknowledge and agree that the remedy at law for any breach of the foregoing will be inadequate and that Purchaser, in addition to any other relief available to it, shall be entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive relief without the necessity of proving actual damage or posting any bond whatsoever.

(b) During the Restricted Period, the Sellers shall not, directly or indirectly: (i) cause, solicit, induce or encourage any Transferred Employees or independent contractors of the Sellers who are or become independent contractors of Purchaser or its Affiliates to leave such

employment or hire, employ or otherwise engage any such individual; (ii) cause, induce or encourage any actual or prospective client, customer, supplier, or licensor of the Sellers with respect to the Business (including any existing or former customer of the Sellers and any Person that becomes a client or customer of Purchaser with respect to the Business after the Closing) or any other Person who has a material business relationship with Sellers or Purchaser with respect to the Business, to divert, terminate or modify any such actual or prospective relationship or (iii) take any action that is designed or intended to have the effect of discouraging any actual or prospective client, customer, supplier, or licensor of the Sellers with respect to the Business (including any existing or former customer of the Sellers and any Person that becomes a client or customer of Purchaser with respect to the Business after the Closing) from maintaining its business relationship with the Business; provided however, that the foregoing shall not restrict the inducement or encouragement of any client, customer, supplier, or licensor related to any Excluded Asset.

(d) From and after the date hereof, (i) Sellers shall not make, or cause to be made, any statement (whether oral or written) that disparages the reputation or business of the Business, the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates and (ii) Purchaser shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, make, or cause to be made, any statement (whether oral or written) that disparages the reputation or business of the Sellers or any of their Affiliates; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 8.5(d) shall restrict any Person enforcing its rights hereunder or from testifying truthfully in any Action.

(e) The covenants and undertakings contained in this Section 8.5 relate to matters which are of a special, unique and extraordinary character and a violation of any of the terms of this Section 8.5 will cause irreparable injury to the Parties, the amount of which will be impossible to estimate or determine and which cannot be adequately compensated. Therefore, the Parties will be entitled to an injunction, restraining order or other equitable relief from any court of competent jurisdiction in the event of any breach of this Section 8.5. The rights and remedies provided by this Section 8.5 are cumulative and in addition to any other rights and remedies which the Parties may have hereunder or at law or in equity. In the event of a violation or breach by the Sellers of any agreement set forth in this Section 8.5, the term of the Restricted Period shall be extended by a period equal to the duration of such violation or breach.

(f) The covenants contained in this Section 8.5 and each provision hereof are severable and distinct covenants and provisions. The Parties hereto agree that, if any court of competent jurisdiction in a final nonappealable judgment determines that a specified time period, a specified geographical area, a specified business limitation or any other relevant feature of this Section 8.5 is unreasonable, arbitrary or against public policy, then a lesser time period, geographical area, business limitation or other relevant feature which is determined to be reasonable, not arbitrary and not against public policy may be enforced against the applicable Party.

8.6 Preservation of Records. For a period of until the latest to occur of (a) three (3) years after the Closing Date and (b) the conclusion of all proceedings relating to the Bankruptcy Cases, Purchaser shall promptly provide to the Sellers and their respective Affiliates (after reasonable notice and during reasonable business hours, and solely to the extent such access does not unreasonably interfere with the business of Purchaser and its Affiliates), and at the Sellers’ sole cost and expense, access to all Documents included in the Purchased Assets for periods prior to the Closing and reasonable access to Transferred Employees with the consent of Purchaser to the extent such access is necessary in order for any Seller or its Affiliates (as applicable) to comply with applicable Law or any Contract to which it is party, for liquidation, winding up, Tax reporting or other proper purposes, including any litigation and claims that are Excluded Liabilities, and so long as such access is subject to an obligation of confidentiality and would not interfere unreasonably with the Business or operations of Purchaser and its Affiliates. Such access shall include access to any information in electronic form to the extent reasonably available and to the extent Purchaser elects in its sole discretion to provide such information in electronic form.

8.7 Publicity. Following the Closing Date, neither Sellers nor any of their Affiliates shall issue any press release or public announcement concerning this Agreement or the Transactions without obtaining the prior written approval of Purchaser, unless disclosure is otherwise required by applicable Law or by the Bankruptcy Court with respect to filings to be made with the Bankruptcy Court in connection with this Agreement, provided that Sellers shall use commercially reasonable efforts consistent with such applicable Law or Bankruptcy Court requirement to consult with Purchaser with respect to the text thereof.

8.8 Assignment of Contracts and Rights.

(a) To the maximum extent permitted by the Bankruptcy Code, the Purchased Assets shall be assumed and assigned to Purchaser pursuant to Sections 363 and 365 of the Bankruptcy Code as of the Closing Date or such other date as specified in the Sale Order or this Agreement, as applicable and all Cure Amounts shall be paid pursuant to Section 2.7 of this Agreement. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, this Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to assign any asset or any right thereunder if an attempted assignment without the consent of a third party would constitute a breach or in any way adversely affect the rights of Purchaser following the Closing (all such Purchased Assets, “Delayed Transfer Assets”). If, as of the Closing Date, such consent is not obtained or such assignment is not attainable pursuant to sections 105, 363 or 365 of the Bankruptcy Code other than at Purchaser’s request then until the earlier of (x) one hundred eighty (180) days from the Closing Date and (y) the Wind-Up End Date, but in no event earlier than ninety (90) days from the Closing Date, unless otherwise mutually agreed to by the Sellers and the Purchaser, the Sellers shall:

(v) In order that the full value of the Delayed Transfer Assets may be realized for the benefit of Purchaser, the Sellers shall, at the request and expense and under the direction of Purchaser, in the name of the Sellers or otherwise as Purchaser may specify, take commercially reasonable action and do or cause to be done all such things as are, in the opinion of Purchaser, necessary or proper in order that the obligations of the Sellers under such Delayed Transfer Assets may be performed in such manner that the value of such Delayed Transfer Assets is preserved and inures to the benefit of Purchaser, and that any moneys due and payable and to become due and payable to Purchaser in and under such Delayed Transfer Assets are received by Purchaser. The Sellers shall promptly pay to Purchaser all moneys collected by or paid to the Sellers in respect of such Delayed Transfer Asset, net of any amounts owed to a third party under a Delayed Transfer Asset that is not otherwise paid by Purchaser.

The Sellers hereby agree that upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, Purchaser shall have the sole right to the use of the names “Waterlase”, “Epix” or any Trademarks containing or comprising the foregoing, including any name or mark confusingly similar thereto (collectively, the “Seller Marks”) and Sellers shall not, and shall not permit any of their respective Affiliates or Related Persons to, use any Seller Mark or any mark confusingly similar thereto. In furtherance thereof, as promptly as practicable but in no event later than ninety (90) days following the Closing Date, the Sellers shall remove, strike over or otherwise obliterate all Seller Marks from all materials owned by the Sellers and used or

displayed publicly including any sales and marketing materials, displays, signs, promotional materials and other materials. After the Closing, the Sellers shall take any additional actions reasonably requested by Purchaser, at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense, to enable Purchaser or any of its Affiliates to operate and conduct business under each Seller’s present name or names similar thereto and to qualify to do business under each Seller’s present name or names similar thereto in any state or other jurisdiction.

8.11 Transfer of Intellectual Property. If, at any time after the Closing Date, the Sellers or Purchaser, or any of their respective Affiliates, discovers that any Purchased Intellectual Property has not been transferred by the Sellers as contemplated herein, the Sellers will promptly transfer or cause to be transferred, such Purchased Intellectual Property to Purchaser or its designee in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (including by executing and delivering to Purchaser or its designee, or causing to be executed and delivered, any instruments and documents necessary to effect such transfer of such Purchased Intellectual Property); provided, that Purchaser shall not be required to pay Sellers any additional compensation for such Purchased Intellectual Property. Prior to any such transfer, the Sellers will hold such Purchased Intellectual Property in trust for Purchaser and pay over to Purchaser promptly any amounts or benefits received with respect to such Purchased Intellectual Property following the Closing Date. Each Seller hereby irrevocably designates and appoints Purchaser and its duly authorized Representatives as such Seller’s agent and attorney-in-fact (which designation and appointment shall be deemed coupled with an interest and shall survive such Seller’s liquidation), to act for on such Seller’s behalf to execute and file any such applications, extensions or renewals and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the prosecution and issuance of letters patent, other intellectual property registrations or filings or such other similar documents with legal force and effect as if executed by such Seller.

extent it would interfere unreasonably with the Business or operations of the Sellers; and provided, further, that notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Sellers shall not (A) be required to pay any fees (including commitment or other similar fees), reimburse any expenses, or give any indemnities or incur any Liabilities prior to the Closing, (B) have any Liability or obligation under any loan agreement, debt security or any related document or any other agreement or document related to the Debt Financing (other than any such Liabilities or obligations with respect to the Purchased Assets that become effective as of the Closing), (C) be required to provide access to or disclose information where such access or disclosure would jeopardize the attorney-client privilege or contravene any applicable Law, or (D) be required to or cause any director, officer, or employee of the Sellers to execute any document, certificate or instrument, or make any representation or warranty, in connection with the Debt Financing, except for customary authorization letters and any such contractual obligation, document, certificate or instrument that is conditioned upon, and not effective until, the consummation of the Closing.

Each Seller will, and will cause its Affiliates to, deposit into the bank account designated by Purchaser (the “Designated AR Account”), within three (3) Business Days after receipt, all amounts received by a Seller or any of its Subsidiaries and Affiliates in respect of the Accounts Receivable. The Sellers shall, and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries and Affiliates to, deliver written instructions no later than one (1) Business Day following the Closing to all customers with Accounts Receivable to deliver all payments with respect thereto directly to the Designated AR Account.

The Sellers will use commercially reasonable efforts to assist Purchaser with respect to such claims. Following the Closing, each Seller shall hold each Insurance Policy for the benefit of Purchaser, shall reasonably cooperate with Purchaser in pursuing any claims thereunder, and shall pay over to Purchaser promptly any insurance proceeds paid or recovered thereunder with respect to the Purchased Assets or the Assumed Liabilities.

Such cooperation will include reasonable access to the Sellers’ officers, managers, employees, agents and representatives who were responsible for preparing or

maintaining the financial records and work papers and other supporting documents used in the preparation of such financial statements as may be required by Purchaser’s Auditor to perform an audit or conduct a review in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards or to otherwise verify such financial statements.

Article XI

TAXES

11.1 Transfer Taxes. The Sellers, on the one hand, and Purchaser, on the other hand, shall each (i) be responsible for (and shall indemnify and hold harmless the other Party against) 50% of any and all Liabilities for any sales, use, stamp, documentary, filing, recording, transfer, real estate transfer, stock transfer, gross receipts, registration, duty, securities transactions or similar fees or taxes or governmental charges (together with any interest or penalty, addition to tax or additional amount imposed) as levied by any Taxing Authority in connection with the Transactions (collectively, “Transfer Taxes”), regardless of the Person liable for such Transfer Taxes under applicable Law and (ii) timely file or caused to be filed all necessary documents (including all Tax Returns) with respect to Transfer Taxes. The Parties will reasonably cooperate to minimize any such taxes, including with respect to delivery location.

11.2 Prorations. The Sellers shall bear all property and ad valorem Tax Liability with respect to the Purchased Assets if the lien or assessment date arises prior to the Closing Date irrespective of the reporting and payment dates of such Taxes. All other real property Taxes, personal property Taxes, or ad valorem obligations and similar recurring Taxes and fees on the Purchased Assets for taxable periods beginning before, and ending after, the Closing Date (excluding any Transfer Taxes, which shall be governed pursuant to Section 11.1), shall be prorated between Purchaser and the Sellers as of the end of the day on the Closing Date. With respect to Taxes described in this Section 11.2, the Sellers shall timely file all Tax Returns due before the Closing Date with respect to such Taxes and Purchaser shall prepare and timely file all Tax Returns due after the Closing Date with respect to such Taxes. If one Party remits to the appropriate Taxing Authority payment for Taxes, which are subject to proration under this Section 11.2 and such payment includes the other Party’s share of such Taxes, such other Party shall promptly reimburse the remitting Party for its share of such Taxes.

11.3 Purchase Price Allocation. Not later than one hundred and twenty (120) days after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall prepare and deliver to Biolase copies of Form 8594 and any required exhibits thereto (the “Asset Acquisition Statement”) allocating the Purchase Price (including the Assumed Liabilities) among the Purchased Assets in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, as well as the methodology reflected on Schedule 11.3. Purchaser shall prepare and deliver to the Sellers from time to time revised copies of the Asset Acquisition Statement (the “Revised Statements”) in accordance with the methodology reflected on Schedule 11.3 so as to report any matters on the Asset Acquisition Statement that need updating (including Purchase Price adjustments, if any). The Purchase Price for the Purchased Assets shall be allocated in accordance with the Closing Payment Allocation Schedule and the Asset Acquisition Statement or, if applicable, the last Revised Statements, provided by Purchaser to the Sellers, and all income Tax Returns and reports filed by Purchaser and Sellers shall be prepared consistently with such methodology. The Sellers and Purchaser, for a period of at least thirty (30) days, shall cooperate in good faith to resolve any disagreements the Sellers may have with an Asset Acquisition Statement or a Revised Statement.

11.4 Cooperation on Tax Matters.

(a) Purchaser and Sellers shall furnish or cause to be furnished to each other, as promptly as practicable, such information and assistance relating to the Purchased Assets and the Assumed Liabilities as is reasonably necessary for the preparation and filing of any Tax Return, claim for refund or other required or optional filings relating to Tax matters, for the preparation for any Tax audit, for the preparation for any Tax protest, for the prosecution or defense of any suit or other proceeding relating to Tax matters.

(b) Purchaser shall retain possession of all material accounting, business, financial and Tax records and information relating to the Purchased Assets or the Assumed Liabilities that are in existence on the Closing Date and transferred to Purchaser hereunder for a period of at least five (5) years from the Closing Date. Purchaser shall give the Sellers reasonable notice and an opportunity to retain any such records in the event that Purchaser determines to destroy or dispose of them after such period. In addition, from and after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall provide access to the Sellers (after reasonably detailed prior notice and during normal business hours), to the books, records, documents and other information relating to the Purchased Assets or the Assumed Liabilities as is reasonably necessary for Sellers to properly prepare for, file, prove, answer, prosecute and/or defend any Tax Return, claim, filing, tax audit, tax protest, suit, proceeding or answer.

Article XII

MISCELLANEOUS

12.1 Expenses. Except for the Break-Up Fee and as otherwise provided in this Agreement, each of the Sellers and Purchaser shall bear its own expenses incurred in connection with the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and each other agreement, document and instrument contemplated by this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.

12.2 Survival. Except in the case of Fraud or as expressly set forth in this Agreement to the contrary, all representations and warranties and covenants of any Party contained in this Agreement or in any certificate delivered pursuant hereto shall not survive the Closing Date and thereafter shall be of no further force and effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement, which by their express terms would require performance after the Closing Date, shall survive until fully performed or until such covenant or agreement expires by its terms. Notwithstanding the foregoing, that the obligations of the Parties set forth in this Article XII and Sections 3.2, 4.6, and 7.2 hereof shall survive the Closing.

12.3 Specific Performance. The Parties agree that, if any of the provisions of this Agreement or any other document contemplated by this Agreement were not performed in accordance with its specific terms or were otherwise breached by any Party, irreparable damage would occur, no adequate remedy at law would exist and damages would be difficult to determine, and, therefore, the Parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, specific performance, or other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in accordance with the terms of the Agreement in any court of competent jurisdiction without proof of damages or inadequacy of legal remedy without the posting or provision of any bond or other security, this being in addition to any other remedy to

which they are entitled under, and in accordance with the terms of, this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Sellers shall be entitled to seek specific performance of Purchaser’s obligations to consummate the Transactions if, and only if, (i) all of the conditions set forth in Section 10.1 (other than those conditions that, by their nature, are to be satisfied at the Closing, each of which is capable of being satisfied) have been satisfied or would be waived by Biolase (on behalf of the other Sellers) at the Closing (ii) all conditions in Section 10.2 and Section 10.3 have been satisfied (other than those that, by their nature, are to be satisfied at the Closing, each of which is capable of being satisfied and will be satisfied at Closing), (iii) Purchaser fails to complete the Closing at the time the Closing is required to have occurred, (iv) no monetary damages has been paid by or on behalf of Purchaser nor has the Good Faith Deposit been released from the Good Faith Deposit Escrow Account to the Sellers in accordance with Section 3.2(b)(ii), and (v) Biolase (on behalf of the other Sellers) has irrevocably confirmed in writing that, if specific performance is granted, then Sellers are ready, willing and able to consummate the Transactions in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. No Seller may seek specific performance to compel Purchaser to consummate the Closing if any Seller is in breach of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement. In no event shall Purchaser be obligated to both specifically perform this Agreement and pay monetary damages to the Sellers.

12.4 Purchaser’s Designee. Prior to the Closing, Purchaser shall have the right to designate, in writing, one or more Affiliates of Purchaser (each, the “Designee”) to receive and assume, on behalf of Purchaser, any or all of the Purchased Assets or Assumed Liabilities delivered by the Sellers at the Closing pursuant to Section 4.2, and Sellers shall, upon receipt of such a designation by Purchaser, cooperate with Purchaser in assigning and delivering such Purchased Assets or Assumed Liabilities to the Designee at the Closing pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

12.5 Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process.

(a) Except to the extent the mandatory provisions of the Bankruptcy Code apply, this Agreement will be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware applicable to contracts made and to be performed entirely in such state without regard to principles of conflicts or choice of laws or any other law that would make the laws of any other jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware applicable hereto.

(b) Without limitation of any Party’s right to appeal any Order of the Bankruptcy Court, (i) the Bankruptcy Court will retain exclusive jurisdiction to enforce the terms of this Agreement and to decide any claims or disputes, which may arise or result from, or be connected with, this Agreement, any breach or default hereunder, or the transactions contemplated hereby and (ii) any and all claims relating to the foregoing will be filed and maintained only in the Bankruptcy Court, and the Parties hereby consent and submit to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the Bankruptcy Court and irrevocably waive the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any such Action; provided that, if the Bankruptcy Cases are closed pursuant to Section 350 of the Bankruptcy Code, the Parties agree to unconditionally and irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Delaware Chancery Court or, if such court will not have jurisdiction, any federal court located in the State of Delaware or other Delaware state court, and any appellate court from any thereof for the resolution of any such claim or dispute. The Parties

each hereby irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any such Action. The Parties each consent to service of process by mail (in accordance with Section 12.8) or any other manner permitted by applicable Law.

12.6 Waiver of Right to Trial by Jury. THE PARTIES HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE DEBT FINANCING OR THE ACTIONS OF ANY PARTY OR SUCH PARTY’S REPRESENTATIVES IN THE NEGOTIATION OR PERFORMANCE HEREOF.

12.7 Entire Agreement; Amendments and Waivers. This Agreement (including the schedules and exhibits hereto) represents the entire understanding and agreement between the Parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement can be amended, supplemented or changed, and any provision hereof can be waived, only by written instrument making specific reference to this Agreement signed by the Party against whom enforcement of any such amendment, supplement, modification or waiver is sought; provided, however, that each of BL Acquisition, BL Acquisition II and MDO hereby appoint Biolase as their attorney-in-fact, to act for on such Seller’s behalf to execute any amendments to this Agreement. No action taken pursuant to this Agreement, including any investigation by or on behalf of any Party, shall be deemed to constitute a waiver by the Party taking such action of compliance with any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained herein; provided, further, that the Xerox Provisions and any other provision of this Agreement to the extent amendment or waiver thereof would modify the substance of the Xerox Provisions may not be amended or waived without the prior written consent of the Debt Financing Sources. The waiver by any Party hereto of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a further or continuing waiver of such breach or as a waiver of any other or subsequent breach. No failure on the part of any Party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of such right, power or remedy by such Party preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. All remedies hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any other remedies provided by Law.

12.8 Notices. All notices, consents, waivers, and other communications under this Agreement must be in writing and will be deemed to have been duly given (a) when delivered by hand (with written confirmation of receipt), (b) when sent by email of a PDF transmission (upon manual or electronic confirmation of delivery), or (c) one (1) Business Day after being sent to the addressee, if sent by a nationally recognized overnight delivery service (receipt requested), in each case to the appropriate addresses set forth below (or to such other addresses as a Party may designate by notice to the other Parties in accordance with this provision):

Nothing in this Section 12.9(a) shall limit Sellers’ or their respective Affiliates’ rights in the case of Fraud (but not, for the avoidance of doubt, fraudulent conveyance claims). Effective as of the Closing and subject to entry of the Sale Order (with any discrepancy between the release provided in the Sale Order, if any, and this Agreement being controlled by the Sale Order), each of the Sellers on their own behalf and on behalf of their past, present, and future predecessors, successors and assigns, covenants not to sue Purchaser or any Purchaser Released Person, or to instigate, initiate, or pursue against any of them, in any manner of judicial or administrative proceeding on such Seller’s own behalf or on behalf of any of the Sellers Releasing Persons, or any other Person, regarding or in connection with any of the claims released pursuant to this Section 12.9(a).

(b) Effective as of the Closing, Purchaser, on its own behalf and on behalf of its respective past, present, and future Related Persons, Affiliates, predecessors, successors and assigns (each, a “Purchaser Releasing Person”) hereby unconditionally, irrevocably, and fully forever releases, remises, acquits, relinquishes, irrevocably waives, and discharges, each Seller and each of its predecessors, successors, assigns, Subsidiaries and Affiliates, and each of their respective former, current or future, direct or indirect, equity holders, officers, employees, directors, agents, advisory board members, representatives, owners, members, partners, employees, management companies, direct and indirect parent entities, “controlling persons” (within the meaning of federal securities law), heirs, administrators and executors, financial advisors, legal advisors, shareholders, managers, principals, consultants, accountants, attorneys,

12.10 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal, or incapable of being enforced by any Law or public policy, all other terms or provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party. Any such term or provision held invalid, illegal, or incapable of being enforced only in part or degree will remain in full force and effect to the extent not held invalid, illegal, or incapable of being enforced. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal, or incapable of being enforced, such term or provision is hereby deemed modified to give effect to the original written intent of the Parties to the greatest extent consistent with being valid and enforceable under applicable Law.

12.11 Binding Effect; Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

No assignment of this Agreement or of any rights or obligations hereunder may be made by the Sellers or Purchaser (by operation of law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the other Parties hereto and any attempted assignment without the required consents shall be void; provided, however, that (a) Purchaser may collaterally assign its rights hereunder to the Debt Financing Sources as required in connection with the Debt Financing and (b) Purchaser may assign this Agreement and any or all rights or obligations hereunder (including Purchaser’s rights to purchase the Purchased Assets and assume the Assumed Liabilities) to any Affiliate of Purchaser which assignment shall not relieve Purchaser of its obligations hereunder; provided, further, that Sellers may transfer or assign such rights and

obligations under this Agreement to a liquidation trust or similar vehicle under a confirmed chapter 11 plan of liquidation under the Bankruptcy Code in the Bankruptcy Cases. Upon any such permitted assignment, the references in this Agreement to Purchaser and Sellers shall also apply to any such assignee unless the context otherwise requires.

12.12 Third Party Beneficiaries; Non-Recourse. Except with respect to Purchaser’s Affiliates and Related Persons pursuant to Section 3.2(c), and the Party Affiliates pursuant to the following sentence and except that the Debt Financing Sources shall be intended third party beneficiaries of the Xerox Provisions, nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any other Person any rights or remedies of any nature under or by reason of this Agreement, except as expressly provided herein. Each Party, by its acceptance of the benefits of this Agreement, covenants, agrees and acknowledges that no Persons other than the Persons that are expressly Parties to this Agreement or the Ancillary Documents will have any obligation hereunder or thereunder and that it has no rights of recovery hereunder or thereunder against, and no recourse hereunder or thereunder or in respect of any oral representations made or alleged to be made in connection therewith will be had against, any former, current or future Affiliate, incorporator, controlling Person, fiduciary, representative, co-owner or equity holder of Purchaser or Sellers (or any of their successors or permitted assignees) (each, a “Party Affiliate”); it being expressly agreed and acknowledged that, other than in the case of Fraud, no personal Liability whatsoever will attach to, be imposed on or otherwise be incurred by any Party Affiliate, as such, for any obligations of the applicable Person under this Agreement or any Ancillary Document or the Transactions, under any documents or instruments delivered contemporaneously therewith, in respect of any oral representations made or alleged to be made in connection therewith, or for any claim (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation.

In the event that any material portion of any Purchased Assets is damaged or destroyed prior to Closing Date, then Sellers shall provide prompt written notice of such damage or destruction prior to the Closing and, thereafter, with respect to such Purchased Assets, Purchaser may, at Purchaser’s option, either (a) proceed to close notwithstanding the damage or destruction of such Purchased Assets or (b) exclude such Purchased Assets, in which event Purchaser shall not have any obligation to close if as a consequence of the exclusion of such Purchased Assets any condition to Closing in Article X would not be satisfied.

If at any time any Seller liquidates, its estate is converted to a case under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code, or otherwise has a trustee or other representative appointed by the Bankruptcy Court (as applicable, a “Trustee”), then (a) such Trustee will be bound to perform the obligations of such Seller and will be entitled to exercise the rights of such Seller under this Agreement, and (b) with respect to all of such Seller’s assets that are abandoned (if any) following the date hereof, such Seller grants to such Trustee a power of attorney for purposes of performing such Seller’s obligations under Section 8.8 with respect to such abandoned assets. Each Seller acknowledges and agrees that the power of attorney granted to such Trustee (if any) pursuant to the foregoing clause (b) is coupled with an interest and will be irrevocable. Further, such power of attorney will also be granted to Purchaser for purposes of performing such Seller’s obligations under Section 8.8 with respect to such abandoned assets, as determined by Purchaser, and in the event Purchaser exercises such power of attorney, the Trustee will not commit any act or take any action that is inconsistent with such exercise by Purchaser, except as requested in writing by Purchaser.

This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed to be an original copy of this Agreement and all of which, when taken together, will be deemed to constitute one and the same agreement. Executed signature pages to this Agreement may be delivered by electronic mail and such electronic copies will be deemed as sufficient as if actual signature pages had been delivered.

12.17 Debt Financing Sources. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Parties hereby agree that (a) no Debt Financing Sources shall have any liability (whether in contract or in tort, in law or in equity, or granted by statute) for any claims, causes of action, obligations or losses arising under, out of, in connection with or related in any manner to this Agreement or based on, in respect of or by reason of this Agreement or its negotiation, execution, performance or breach (provided that nothing in this Section 12.17 shall limit the liability or

obligations of such Debt Financing Sources under the Debt Commitment Letter, any credit agreement or any other documents governing or evidencing the debt facility, any credit facilities or other financing provided by any Debt Financing Source), (b) only the Purchaser (including its permitted successors and assigns) and the other parties to the Debt Commitment Letter, any credit agreement or any other agreements governing the Debt Financing at their own direction shall be permitted to bring any claim against a Debt Financing Source for failing to satisfy any obligation to fund the Debt Financing pursuant to the terms of any such agreement, (c) no amendment or waiver of this Section 12.17 or Section 12.11 that is materially adverse to the Debt Financing Sources in their capacity as such shall be effective without the prior written consent of the Lenders to which such amendment is materially adverse, (d) the Debt Financing Sources are express and intended third party beneficiaries of this Section 12.17 or Section 12.11, (e) notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 12.5, except as may be set forth in any the Debt Commitment Letter, any credit agreement or any other documents governing or evidencing the debt facility, any credit facilities or other financing provided by any Debt Financing Source, any Action of any kind or description (whether at law, in equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise) involving any Debt Financing Source arising out of, in connection with, or relating to the Debt Financing, or the performance of services thereunder shall be subject to the jurisdiction of a state or federal court sitting in the City of New York (Borough of Manhattan), State of New York (and any appellate court thereof), (f) any interpretation of any agreements related to the Debt Financing will be governed by, and construed and interpreted in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, (g) no party hereto will bring, permit any of their respective controlled Affiliates to bring, or support anyone else in bringing, any such Action in any other court, and (h) the waiver of rights to trial by jury set forth in Section 12.6 applies to any such legal proceeding.

Exhibit 99.1

BIOLASE Voluntarily Initiates Chapter 11 Proceedings

LAKE FOREST, Calif., October 1, 2024 – BIOLASE, Inc. (NASDAQ: BIOL) (the “Company”), a global leader in dental lasers, today announced that the Company and its direct domestic subsidiaries have voluntarily initiated Chapter 11 proceedings (the “Bankruptcy Petitions”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the "Court"). BIOLASE will seek Court approval to continue operating during the proceedings and remains focused on providing its customers with its award-winning dental lasers and customer service.

The Company also announced today that it is pursuing a sale process under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code in conjunction with the filing. To this end, BIOLASE has entered into an asset purchase agreement with Sonendo, Inc. (“Sonendo”), a Delaware corporation, which it intends to submit to the Court. Under the agreement, Sonendo will acquire substantially all of the assets of BIOLASE through a Court-supervised auction process, subject to Bankruptcy Court approval and certain other conditions, for (a) $14.0 million in cash paid at closing, subject to a working capital adjustment; plus (b) assumption of certain Assumed Liabilities (as defined in the Asset Purchase Agreement); plus (c) the Delaware Litigation Settlement Value (as defined in the Asset Purchase Agreement). This bid will serve as a starting point for the Company's sale process, which may include other bidders. Sonendo is a leading dental technology company.

BIOLASE CEO John Beaver commented, “After carefully considering a range of alternatives, we are confident that pursuing Chapter 11 provides the most viable long-term path for BIOLASE to address its liquidity challenges. Our portfolio includes some of the most renowned dental laser products in the industry, and we are eager to partner with Sonendo, leveraging their extensive expertise in the dental sector to continue advancing our mission. We deeply appreciate the ongoing support from our customers and suppliers throughout this process, and we also want to recognize the dedication of our talented employees.”

Additional Information

The Company also announced that it has received a commitment from SWK Funding LLC for no less than $2.5 million in Debtor-in-Possession (DIP) financing, including a $1.43 million interim advance. The new facility, subject to court approval, will enable the Company to operate business uninterrupted and continue to meet its financial obligations, including the timely payment of employee wages and benefits, continued servicing of customer orders and shipments, and other obligations.

The Company has engaged SSG Capital Advisors, LLC, to advise on its strategic options, including a potential sale of all or some of the Company’s assets in connection with the Bankruptcy Petitions. Any sale would be subject to review and approval by the Bankruptcy Court and compliance with court-approved bidding procedures. The Company cannot be certain that the Company’s securityholders will receive any payment or other distribution on account of their shares following such sales.
