valid title to, the Subject Shares that are indicated opposite its name on Schedule A, free and clear of all Liens, except for any Liens created by this Agreement. The Shareholder does not own, of record or beneficially, any capital shares

obligations hereunder have been duly authorized by all necessary action, and no other proceedings on the part of the Shareholder (or the Shareholder’s governing body, members, shareholders, partners, trustees or similar Persons, as applicable) are
necessary to authorize this Agreement or the performance by the Shareholder of its obligations hereunder. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Shareholder, and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the
Company, this Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding agreement of the Shareholder, enforceable against the Shareholder in accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and
similar Laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and to general equity principles.
SECTION 2.04. No Conflicts; Governmental Approvals. (a) The execution, and delivery by the Shareholder of this Agreement do not, and the
performance by the Shareholder of its obligations hereunder will not, constitute or result in (i) in the event that the Shareholder or the entities under the Shareholder’s control holding Subject Shares, if any, are entities, a conflict with, a
breach or violation of, or a default under, the certificate of incorporation and the bylaws, the limited liability company agreement, the partnership agreement or comparable organizational documents of the Shareholder or the entities under the
Shareholder’s control holding the Subject Shares, (ii) with or without notice, lapse of time or both, a breach or violation of, a termination (or right of termination) of or a default under, the loss of any benefit under, the creation, modification
or acceleration of any obligations under or the creation of any Lien on any of the properties, rights or assets of the Shareholder pursuant to any Contract binding upon such Shareholder or under any applicable Law to which such Shareholder is
subject or (iii) any change in the rights or obligations of any party under any Contract legally binding upon the Shareholder, except in the case of each of clauses (ii) and (iii) directly above, for any such conflict, breach, violation,
termination, default, loss, creation, modification, acceleration or change that would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to prevent or materially delay or impair the ability of the Shareholder to perform its obligations
hereunder.
(b) No approval by any Governmental Authority is required to be obtained or made by or with respect to the Shareholder in connection with the

affecting the Shareholder with respect to a Legal Proceeding (and the Shareholder is not aware of any basis for any such Legal Proceeding or claim), nor is there any Order outstanding against the Shareholder or to which any of its properties or
assets is subject that would, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to prevent or materially delay or impair the ability of the Shareholder to perform its obligations hereunder.

the issuance of Merger Shares or any of the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement is sought, the Shareholder shall cause its Subject Shares to be present in person or by proxy for purposes of constituting a quorum and vote, or

connection with the FSI Shareholder Approvals and the Merger Agreement, the issuance of Merger Shares or any of the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.
(b) From the period commencing with the date of this Agreement and continuing until the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 4.11,
the Shareholder agrees that at any meeting of the shareholders of FSI or in any other circumstances upon which a vote, consent or other approval of the Shareholder is sought, the Shareholder shall cause its Subject Shares to be present in person or
by proxy for purposes of constituting a quorum and vote, or cause to be voted, including by executing a written consent if requested by FSI, its Subject Shares against (A) any Alternative Transaction or any other action, agreement or proposal made
in opposition to or in competition with the consummation of the issuance of Merger Shares or any of the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, (B) any action, agreement or proposal involving FSI or any of its Subsidiaries that

action, agreement or proposal involving FSI or any of its Subsidiaries that would in any manner impede, frustrate, prevent or nullify any provision of the Merger Agreement, the issuance of Merger Shares or any of the other transactions contemplated
by the Merger Agreement or change in any manner the voting rights of any class of the capital shares of FSI.
(c) From the period commencing with the Effective Date and continuing until the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 4.11,
the Shareholder agrees to vote, or cause to be voted, the Subject Shares, from time to time and at all times (unless FSI otherwise consents in writing), in whatever manner recommended by FSI’s Board of Directors as reflected in any FSI proxy or
information statement in connection with such vote. The Shareholder shall be present in person or represented by proxy at all meetings of shareholders of FSI so that the Subject Shares may be counted for the purpose of determining the presence of a
quorum at such meetings. The Shareholder shall not commit or agree to take any action inconsistent with any provision of this Section 3.01(c).
(d) The Shareholder shall not commit or agree to take any action inconsistent with any provision of Sections 3.01(a)-(b).
(e) The Shareholder hereby covenants and agrees that, except for this Agreement, such Shareholder (i) has not entered into, and shall not enter

effect, a proxy, consent or power of attorney with respect to the Subject Shares of such Shareholder (except pursuant to any irrevocable proxy card delivered to the Company directing that the Subject Shares of such Shareholder be voted in
accordance with this Section 3.01) and (iii) has not taken and shall not knowingly take any action that would make any representation or warranty of such Shareholder contained herein untrue or incorrect or have the effect of preventing or
disabling such Shareholder from performing any of its obligations under this Agreement. The Shareholder hereby represents that all proxies, powers of attorney, instructions or other requests given by such Shareholder prior to the execution of this
Agreement in respect of the voting of such Shareholder’s Subject Shares, if any, are not irrevocable and such Shareholder hereby revokes (and shall cause to be revoked) any and all previous proxies, powers of attorney, instructions or other
requests with respect to such Shareholder’s Subject Shares.
SECTION 3.02. Irrevocable Proxy. The Shareholder hereby irrevocably grants to, and appoints, the Company, and any individual designated
in writing by the Company, and each of them individually, as the Shareholder’s proxy and attorney-in-fact (with full power of substitution), for and in the name, place and stead of the Shareholder, to vote its Subject Shares, or grant a consent or
approval in respect of its Subject Shares, in a manner consistent with Section 3.01 if the Shareholder has not voted such Subject Shares in a manner consistent with Section 3.01 at least five (5) Business Days prior to the
applicable voting deadline. The Shareholder understands and acknowledges that FSI and the Company are entering into the Merger Agreement in reliance upon the Shareholder’s execution and delivery of this Agreement. The Shareholder hereby affirms
that the irrevocable proxy set forth in this Section 3.02 is given in connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, and that such irrevocable proxy is given to secure the performance of the duties of the Shareholder under this
Agreement. The Shareholder hereby further affirms that the irrevocable proxy set forth in this Section 3.02 is coupled with an interest and may under no circumstances be revoked. The Shareholder hereby ratifies and confirms all that such
irrevocable proxy may lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. Such irrevocable proxy is executed and intended to be irrevocable in accordance with applicable Laws governing irrevocable proxies. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the proxy and
appointment granted hereby shall be automatically revoked, without any action by the Shareholder, upon any termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 4.11.
SECTION 3.03. Transfer and Other Restrictions. Except pursuant to this Agreement, the Shareholder shall not, directly or indirectly,
(i) Transfer (as defined below) or enter into any Contract, option or other arrangement or understanding (excluding any profit sharing agreement or any other arrangement that constitutes a Transfer of the economic (but not the voting) interest in
such Subject Shares) with respect to the Transfer of, any of its Subject Shares to any Person, (ii) enter into any voting arrangement, whether by proxy, voting agreement or otherwise, with respect to any of its Subject Shares, (iii) take any other
action that would make any representation or warranty of the Shareholder contained herein untrue or incorrect or would in any way restrict, limit or interfere with the performance of the Shareholder’s obligations hereunder or (iv) commit or agree
to take any of the foregoing actions; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to prohibit the Shareholder from selling or disposing of Subject Shares (i) pursuant to any plan
of FSI, existing or as contemplated by the Merger Agreement and Contemplated Transactions, designated to satisfy the requirements of Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act in which the Shareholder is a participant as of the date of this Agreement or
(ii) to any Permitted Transferee (as defined below) so long as such Permitted Transferee executes a signature page to this Agreement and delivers the same to the Company, pursuant to which such Permitted Transferee agrees to be a “Shareholder”
pursuant to this Agreement with respect to such Subject Shares that are the subject of such Transfer. “Permitted Transferee” means (i) a spouse, lineal descendant or antecedent, brother or sister, adopted
child or grandchild or the spouse of any child, adopted child, grandchild or adopted grandchild of such Shareholder, (ii) any trust, the trustees of which include only the persons named in clause (i) and the beneficiaries of which include only the
persons named in clause (i), (iii) any corporation, limited liability company or partnership, the shareholders, members or general or limited partners of which include only the persons named in clause (i), or (iv) any person by will, for estate or
tax planning purposes, for charitable purposes or as charitable gifts or donations. The Shareholder hereby authorizes and will instruct FSI or its counsel to notify FSI’s transfer agent that there is a stop transfer order with respect to all of
the Subject Shares of the Shareholder (and that this Agreement places limits on the voting and transfer of such Subject Shares), subject to the provisions hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such stop transfer order and notice will
immediately be withdrawn and terminated upon any termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 4.11. “Transfer” means any direct or indirect sale, assignment, encumbrance, pledge, hypothecation,
disposition, loan or other transfer, or entry into any agreement with respect to any sale, assignment, encumbrance, pledge, hypothecation, disposition, loan or other transfer, excluding entry into this Agreement and the Merger Agreement and the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.
SECTION 3.04. Non-Solicitation. To the extent not inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the Board of Directors of FSI,
the Shareholder shall not, and shall not permit any of its controlled Affiliates or any of their respective Representatives to, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit, initiate or knowingly encourage, or take any other action to knowingly
facilitate, the making of any proposal that constitutes or is reasonably likely to lead to an Alternative Transaction or (ii) enter into, continue or otherwise participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding, or furnish to any Person any
confidential information with respect to, any Alternative Transaction. The Shareholder shall, and shall cause its controlled Affiliates and direct its and their respective Representatives to, immediately cease and cause to be terminated all
existing discussions and negotiations with any Person conducted heretofore with respect to any Alternative Transaction. If the Shareholder shall receive any inquiry or proposal with respect to an Alternative Transaction at any time prior
to the Closing, the Shareholder shall, as promptly as practicable (and in no event later than twenty-four (24) hours after the Shareholder becomes aware of such inquiry or proposal), (a) advise the Company orally and
in writing of the receipt of any inquiry or proposal for an Alternative Transaction, the material terms and conditions of any such proposal for an Alternative Transaction and the identity of the Person making any such proposal for an Alternative
Transaction and (b) notify such Person in writing that the Shareholder is subject to an exclusivity agreement with respect to the Contemplated Transactions that prohibits the Shareholder from considering such inquiry or proposal, to the
extent not inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the Board of Directors of FSI. The Shareholder shall keep the Company reasonably informed of any material developments with respect to any such proposal for an
Alternative Transaction (including any material changes thereto).
SECTION 3.05. Directors and Officers.
(a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, nothing in this Agreement shall limit or restrict the Shareholder (or a
designee of the Shareholder) who is a director or officer of FSI from acting in such capacity or fulfilling the obligations of such office (including, for the avoidance of doubt, exercising their fiduciary duties), including by voting, in their
capacity as a director or officer of FSI, in the Shareholder’s (or its designee’s) sole discretion on any matter (it being understood that this Agreement shall apply to the Shareholder solely in the Shareholder’s capacity as a shareholder of FSI).
In this regard, the Shareholder shall not be deemed to make any agreement or understanding in this Agreement in the Shareholder’s capacity as a director or officer of FSI.
(b) Immediately following the Closing, the Shareholder, in the Shareholder’s capacity as a director of FSI (assuming that the
Shareholder has not resigned from the FSI Board of Directors), agrees to appoint the new directors and officers of FSI, as selected by the Company at the Company’s sole discretion, and immediately thereafter resign from all positions the
Shareholder holds or has held as a director or officer of FSI (subject to any employment arrangement between the Shareholder and FSI). The Shareholder unconditionally releases and forever discharges FSI, Merger Subs, the Company, the First Step
Surviving Corporation, the Final Surviving Entity and any other Subsidiary of FSI, including their respective Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, consultants, advisors, attorneys and agents (collectively, the “Released Parties”) from (i) any and all obligation or duties a Released Party might have to the Shareholder, (ii) any and all claims of liability, whether legal or
equitable, of every kind and nature, which the Shareholder has ever had, now has or may claim against any Released Party, in each case, in connection with the Merger Agreement or the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, and (iii)
any and all claims of liability, whether legal or equitable, or every kind and nature, which the Shareholder ever had, now has or may claim against any Released Party, in each case arising out of facts or circumstances occurring at any time on or
prior to the Effective Time (such clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) are hereinafter referred to, individually, as a “Claim” and, collectively, as “Claims”); provided, however, that such release shall exclude those claims, liabilities, obligations and duties of FSI or the Company arising under the Merger Agreement and shall exclude, (x) compensation not yet paid
(including any amounts payable in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement), (y) reimbursement for expenses incurred by the Shareholder in the ordinary course of the Shareholder’s employment which
are reimbursable under FSI’s expense reimbursement policies, and (z) any and all rights that the Shareholder may have by virtue of any indemnification provision, or otherwise, pursuant to the organizational and governing documents of FSI or any
agreement between the Shareholder and FSI. The Shareholder hereby waives any right or Claim that might arise as a result of such different or additional Claims or facts,
except to the extent provided in the proviso this Section 3.05(b). The Shareholder has been made aware of, and understands, the provisions of California Civil Code Section 1542, which provides:
“A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS THAT THE CREDITOR OR RELEASING PARTY DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE
TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE AND THAT, IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER, WOULD HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR OR RELEASED PARTY.”
The Shareholder expressly, knowingly and intentionally waives any and all rights, benefits and protections of California Civil Code Section 1542
and of any other state or federal statute or common law principle limiting the scope of a general release.
SECTION 3.06. Public Announcements. The Shareholder shall, and shall cause its controlled Affiliates to, consult with the Company prior
to issuing any press release or otherwise making public announcements, disclosures or communications issued by the Shareholder or its controlled Affiliates with respect to this Agreement, the Merger Agreement, the issuance of Merger Shares or any
of the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, and shall not issue any such press release or make any such press release, public announcement, disclosure or communication prior to such consultation, except as may be required by
applicable Law or by obligations pursuant to any listing agreement with or rules of any national securities exchange or interdealer quotation service or by the request of any Governmental Authority, in which case the Person making the disclosure
shall give the Company a reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon such disclosure or communication to the extent reasonably practicable and legally permitted. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Shareholder hereby agrees to permit FSI and
the Company to publish and disclose in the Registration Statement / Proxy Statement (including all documents filed with the SEC in accordance therewith), the Shareholder’s identity and beneficial ownership of the Subject Shares or other equity
interests of FSI and the nature of the Shareholder’s commitments, arrangements and understandings under this Agreement.
SECTION 4.01. Notices. All notices, requests, claims, demands, waivers and other communications under this Agreement shall be in writing
(including, for the avoidance of doubt, via email) and shall be addressed to a party at the following address for such party:
(i) if to the Company, to:

SECTION 4.02. Severability. The provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed severable and the illegality, invalidity or unenforceability
of any provision shall not affect the legality, validity or enforceability of any other provision hereof. If any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof to any Person or any circumstance, is illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) a
suitable and equitable provision shall be substituted therefor in order to carry out, so far as may be legal, valid and enforceable, the intent and purpose of such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision, and (b) the remainder of this Agreement
and the application of such provision to other Persons or circumstances shall not be affected by such illegality, invalidity or unenforceability, nor shall such illegality, invalidity or unenforceability affect the legality, validity or
enforceability of such provision, or the application thereof, in any other jurisdiction.
SECTION 4.03. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all

facsimile, email or other means of electronic transmission shall be deemed to have the same legal effect as delivery of an original signed copy of this Agreement.
SECTION 4.04. Entire Agreement; No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement, together with the Merger Agreement to the extent referenced
herein, constitutes the entire agreement, and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and is not intended to confer upon any Person other than

Delaware, or, in the event that such court does not have subject matter jurisdiction, the Superior Court of the State of Delaware (Complex Commercial Division) located in New Castle County in the State of Delaware or the United States District

maintainable in said courts or that the venue thereof may not be appropriate or that this Agreement or any such document may not be enforced in or by such courts, and the parties irrevocably agree that all claims relating to such Legal Proceeding
or transactions shall be heard and determined in such a Delaware state or federal court. The parties hereby consent to and grant any such court jurisdiction over the person of such parties and, to the extent permitted by Law, over the subject
matter of such dispute and agree that mailing of process or other papers in connection with any such Legal Proceeding in the manner provided in Section 4.01 or in such other manner as may be permitted by Law shall be valid and sufficient

Agreement. Any agreement on the part of a party to any such waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such party. The failure of any party to this Agreement to assert any of its rights hereunder or
otherwise shall not constitute a waiver of such rights.
