This WARRANT TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), is made and entered into as of December 31, 2014 (the “Effective Date”), by and among Cibus Global, Ltd., a company organized under the laws of the British Virgin Islands (“Cibus”), each of the Investors (as defined below) who become a party hereto as a “Seller” pursuant to Section 1.3 hereof (each, a “Seller” and collectively, the “Sellers”), and Xxxx Xxxxx, an individual, as the representative of the Sellers (the “Seller Representative”). Defined terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meaning set forth in Section 10.1 hereof.

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, Xxxxx previously issued to certain investors in November 2013 warrants to purchase an aggregate of 6,949,868 shares of Cibus’ Series A Preferred Stock at an exercise price of $2.00 per share (as the same may be amended from time to time, the “First Tranche Warrants”);

WHEREAS, in July of 2014 Xxxxx undertook a unit financing transaction pursuant to the terms and conditions of a Confidential Private Placement Memorandum dated July 22, 2014 (the “Subsequent Financing”) pursuant to which Cibus initially offered $7,000,000 of units (each, a “Unit”), with each Unit being comprised of (a) one share of Series A Preferred Stock in Cibus, and (b) a warrant to purchase two additional shares of Series A Preferred Stock in Cibus at an exercise price of $2.00 per share;

WHEREAS, (a) in October of 2014, Cibus and the requisite investors in the Subsequent Financing elected to amend the terms of the Subsequent Financing in order to issue and sell an additional $4,000,000 of Units; and (b) in December 2014, Cibus and the requisite investors in the Subsequent Financing elected to amend the terms of the Subsequent Financing in order to issue and sell an additional $2,500,000 of Units (collectively, the “Financing Amendment”).

WHEREAS, in the event the maximum amount of Units are sold in the Subsequent Financing (inclusive of the Financing Amendment), Cibus will issue warrants to purchase up to an additional 21,600,000 aggregate shares of Series A Preferred Stock, consisting of (a) warrants issued by Cibus in the Subsequent Financing attributable to the conversion of certain promissory notes issued by Cibus (the “Second Tranche Warrants”), (b) warrants issued to investors in connection with cash investments in the Subsequent Financing (exclusive of cash investments made in connection with the Financing Amendment (the “Third Tranche Warrants”)), and (c) warrants issued in connection with additional cash investments made in connection with the Financing Amendment (the “Fourth Tranche Warrants,”)

WHEREAS, the Board has approved the issuance of warrants to purchase up to an additional 3,542,662 shares of Series A Preferred to certain of Cibus’ members as a conversion rate correction resulting from Cibus’ acquisition of Nucelis, Inc. (the “Correction Warrants”), which Correction Warrants will be deemed to have been issued on December 31, 2013.

WHEREAS, the First Tranche Warrants, the Second Tranche Warrants, the Third Tranche Warrants and the Correction Warrants shall be collectively referred to herein as the “Warrants”). The shares of Series A Preferred Stock subject to such Warrants are referred to herein as the “Warrant Shares”).

WHEREAS, the holders of the Warrants (collectively, the “Investors”) and Cibus have agreed that on the terms and conditions set forth herein and in their respective Warrants, each of the Investors may sell some or all of its Warrants (such Warrants which an Investor elects to sell being referred to collectively as, the “Subject Warrants”) to Cibus in exchange for an interest in certain future revenues of Cibus, as further detailed and on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth herein and for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, Cibus, the Seller Representative and the Sellers hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE 1

PURCHASE AND SALE OF WARRANTS

Section 1.1 Purchase and Sale of Warrants. Each Investor who becomes a party to this Agreement as a Seller pursuant to Section 1.3 hereof hereby agrees to sell, transfer and convey to Cibus at the applicable Closing, subject to and on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the applicable Subject Warrants, in exchange for the applicable Warrant Purchase Consideration.

Section 1.2 Closings. Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in ARTICLE 4, each closing of the sale and transfer of Subject Warrants (each, a “Closing”) shall take place remotely via the exchange of documents and signatures as set forth in this ARTICLE 1 on a date mutually agreed upon by Xxxxx and the Seller Representative promptly following an Investor’s or Investors’ election, as evidenced by its delivery to the Seller Representative of the original Subject Warrant together with an executed Joinder Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Joinder Agreement”) in accordance with Section 1.3, which Joinder Agreement shall include a full release by the holder of the applicable Subject Warrants of any and all claims arising out of or related to the applicable Subject Warrants other than those expressly arising out of or relating to this Agreement, to sell such Subject Warrants to Cibus for and in consideration of Warrant Purchase Consideration attributable to the Warrant Shares subject to each such Subject Warrant, and in any event not later than 5 Business Days following the Seller Representative’s delivery of such Joinder Agreement to Cibus (each, a “Closing Date”), or such other place, time or date as Cibus and the Seller Representative may mutually agree. Subject to the provisions of ARTICLE 8, failure to consummate any Closing on the applicable Closing Date shall not relieve any party hereto of any of its respective obligations hereunder. In connection with each Closing, each Subject Warrant which is sold to Cibus in accordance with this Section 1.2 shall be cancelled by Cibus. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Closing shall occur with respect to any Subject Warrant prior to the first Business Day following the one-year anniversary of the original issuance date of such Subject Warrant to the applicable Investor (which date shall be the date upon which Xxxxx accepted the investment by the applicable Investor that resulted in the issuance of such Warrants, as reflected

on the books and records of Cibus, or with respect to the Correction Warrants, December 31, 2013) (the “One-Year Holding Period”), and Cibus shall be under no obligation to purchase any Subject Warrant prior to such date; provided, however, that with respect to any Second Tranche Warrants issued in the Subsequent Financing to an Investor in connection with the conversion of a convertible note issued to such Investor in the Bridge Financing, the applicable Closing may occur at any time after the first Business Day following the one-year anniversary of the date on which the funds subject to such convertible note were advanced by such Investor to Cibus in the Bridge Financing.

Section 1.3 Investor Election to Sell Warrants.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 1.3, the Seller Representative agrees that in the event any Investor elects to sell any Subject Warrants to Cibus pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Seller Representative shall cause such Investor to deliver to the Seller Representative the applicable original Subject Warrant and an executed Joinder Agreement. The Seller Representative shall provide Cibus with copies of any such Joinder Agreements promptly following receipt of the same (but in any event, within five Business Days of receipt thereof). The Seller Representative hereby covenants and agrees with Cibus as follows: (i) it shall not accept or deliver to Cibus any Joinder Agreements (or related Subject Warrants), and no such Joinder Agreement shall become effective with respect to any Subject Warrants purported to be sold to Cibus thereby, until the first Business Day following the One-Year Holding Period for such Subject Warrants (subject to exception as set forth in Section 1.2 to Second Tranche Warrants issued in connection with the conversion of convertible promissory notes issued in the Bridge Financing); and (ii) it shall not accept or deliver to Cibus any Joinder Agreement (or related Subject Warrants), and no such Joinder Agreement shall become effective with respect to any Subject Warrants purported to be sold to Cibus thereby, at any time after the expiration of the applicable exercise period thereof.

(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 1.3 to the contrary and subject to the provisions of Section 1.6, the Seller Representative and each of the Sellers hereby acknowledges and agrees that the maximum aggregate Participation Rate shall not exceed 10% and Cibus shall not purchase any Subject Warrants to the extent such purchase would cause the aggregate issued Participation Rate to exceed 10%. The Sellers hereby agree and the Seller Representative hereby covenants and agrees that it will not accept any Joinder Agreements (and related Subject Warrants) from any Investor or submit any Joinder Agreements (and related Subject Warrants) to be sold to Cibus pursuant to the provisions of this Section 1.3 if the sale of such Subject Warrants to Cibus would result in the aggregate issued Participation Rate exceeding 10%, in each case subject to the provisions of Section 1.6. Accordingly, all Warrants shall be accepted by Cibus in the order in which the applicable Joinder Agreements are received by the Seller Representative and provided to Cibus.

(c) In the event that prior to the Minority Protection Outside Date, Minority Investors concurrently deliver Joinder Agreements to the Seller Representative pursuant to the provisions of Section 1.3 which would result in the aggregate issued Participation Rate held by all Minority Investors exceeding the Minority Investor Cap if all such Subject Warrants were purchased by Cibus, the Subject Warrants submitted by such Minority Investors for sale to Cibus shall be reduced pro rata based on the number of Warrant Shares subject to each Minority Investor’s applicable Joinder Agreement.

(d) In the event that prior to the Minority Protection Outside Date, Major Investors concurrently deliver Joinder Agreements to the Seller Representative pursuant to the provisions of Section 1.3 which would result in the aggregate issued Participation Rate held by all Major Investors exceeding the Major Investor Cap if all such Subject Warrants were purchased by Cibus, the Subject Warrants submitted by such Major Investors for sale to Cibus shall be reduced pro rata based on the number of Warrant Shares subject to each Major Investor’s applicable Joinder Agreement.

(e) In the event that after the Minority Protection Outside Date, Investors concurrently deliver Joinder Agreements to the Seller Representative pursuant to the provisions of Section 1.3 which would result in the aggregate issued Participation Rate held by all Investors exceeding 10% if all such Subject Warrants were purchased by Cibus, the Subject Warrants submitted by such Investors for sale to Cibus shall be reduced pro rata based on the number of Warrant Shares subject to each Investor’s applicable Joinder Agreement.

Section 1.4 No Assumed Obligations, Etc. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, each Seller is only agreeing, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, to acquire and accept the Warrant Purchase Consideration in exchange for the Subject Warrants and is not assuming any liability or obligation of Cibus or any other Cibus Entity of whatever nature, whether presently in existence or arising or asserted hereafter.

Section 1.5 Security Interest.

(a) Effective from and after the initial Closing, Cibus hereby grants and shall cause each of the entities listed on Exhibit B (collectively, the “Cibus Entities”) to grant to the Sellers, to secure the payment and performance in full of Cibus’ obligations under this Agreement, including the payment of past and future Warrant Purchase Payments, a continuing security interest in the Collateral (as defined in the Intellectual Property Security Agreement), wherever located, whether now owned or hereafter acquired or arising, and all proceeds and products thereof, pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the Intellectual Property Security Agreement. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Intellectual Property Security Agreement, Cibus represents, warrants, and covenants, for and on behalf of itself and each of the other Cibus Entities, that the security interest granted pursuant to the Intellectual Property Security Agreement shall at all times continue to be a senior security interest in the Collateral, subject only to Permitted Liens.

(b) Subject to the terms and conditions of Section 5.4(c), following Cibus’ failure to make full and prompt payment of any Warrant Purchase Payment or portion thereof when due (such failure, a “Payment Breach”), the Sellers, acting solely and exclusively through the Seller Representative (acting as Collateral Agent under the Intellectual Property Security Agreement), shall be entitled to exercise all rights and remedies available under the Intellectual Property Security Agreement and this Agreement.

(c) On behalf of itself and each of the Cibus Entities, Xxxxx hereby authorizes the Seller Representative, at the sole cost and expense of the Sellers, to file financing statements or take any other action required on behalf of the Sellers to perfect the Sellers’

security interests in the Collateral, with notice to the Cibus Entities, in all appropriate jurisdictions to perfect or protect the Sellers’ interest or rights under the Collateral, including a notice that any disposition of the Collateral, except to the extent permitted by the terms of this Agreement and the Intellectual Property Security Agreement, by the Cibus Entities, or any other Person, shall be deemed to violate the rights of the Sellers under the Code. Xxxxx further agrees to procure, deliver or execute and deliver to the Seller Representative, and to cause each of the Cibus Entities to procure, deliver or execute and deliver to the Seller Representative from time to time as reasonably requested, all additional security agreements, instruments and documents, each in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Seller Representative, to perfect or protect the Sellers’ security interests in the Collateral in accordance with this Section 1.5(c).

Section 1.6 Minority Protection. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement or any Warrant to the contrary, prior to September 30, 2015 (as such date may be extended by Cibus with the approval of Cibus’ Board of Directors in its sole discretion from time to time, the “Minority Protection Outside Date”), (a) the maximum Participation Rate attributable to the Warrant Purchase Consideration issued to the Major Investors in connection with the sale of Warrants pursuant to this Agreement may not exceed nine percent (9%) (the “Major Investor Cap”); and (b) the maximum Participation Rate attributable to the Warrant Purchase Consideration issued to the Minority Investors in connection with the sale of Warrants pursuant to this Agreement may not exceed one percent (1%) (the “Minority Investor Cap”). After the Minority Protection Outside Date and subject to the provisions of Section 1.3(e), any available Warrant Purchase Consideration may be sold by Cibus to any Investor irrespective of the Major Investor Cap and the Minority Investor Cap, as applicable.

ARTICLE 2

TAX MATTERS

Section 2.1 Tax Matters.

(a) The parties agree that for U.S. tax purposes, the entitlement of Sellers to receive the Warrant Purchase Consideration is intended to be treated by the Sellers and Cibus for U.S. federal (and applicable state and local) income tax purposes as the issuance by Cibus of “evidences of indebtedness” (as such term is used in Reg §15a.453-1(b)(3)) of Cibus. Consistent with such intentions, the Sellers, the Seller Representative (acting on behalf of the Sellers) and Cibus each agree, except as otherwise required by applicable law, not to take any position that is inconsistent with the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence on any tax return or in any audit or other administrative or judicial proceeding unless the parties have consented to such inconsistent positions or the party that contemplates taking such an inconsistent position has been advised by nationally recognized tax counsel in writing that there is no “reasonable basis” (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.6662-3(b)(3)) for the position specified in the above section and has notified the other party of such inconsistency. If there is an inquiry by any governmental authority of any party related to any transaction pursuant to this Agreement, the parties agree to cooperate with each other in responding to such inquiry in a reasonable manner consistent with this paragraph (a).

(b) Cibus acknowledges that the Sellers have indicated to Cibus their intention to report the sale of the Warrants for U.S. tax purposes under the installment method of accounting (as described in Section 453 of the Internal Revenue Code and Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, each Seller hereby acknowledges and agrees that neither Cibus nor any of Cibus’ officers, directors, agents, shareholders or representatives (including Cibus’ counsel) has made any representation or warranty to such Seller regarding the Seller’s ability to properly report the sale of the Warrants for U.S. tax purposes under the installment method of reporting (within the meaning of Section 453 of the Internal Revenue Code and Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder), nor any other tax consequences to the Seller resulting from this Agreement, and each Seller has relied solely and exclusively on its own legal counsel (and not that of Cibus) regarding the same.

COVENANTS

Section 5.1 Reporting. Promptly following the end of each calendar year, Xxxxx shall provide the Seller Representative with a reasonably detailed report (the “Annual Report”) setting forth, with respect to such calendar year, (i) the Commercial Updates and (ii) the Intellectual Property Updates. In connection therewith, Xxxxx shall also provide the Seller Representative with such additional information regarding the updates included in each Annual Report as the Seller Representative may reasonably request from time to time. Cibus shall prepare and maintain and shall cause its Affiliates and any counterparty to any Out-License of Cibus or Cibus’ Affiliates to prepare and maintain reasonably complete and accurate records of the information to be disclosed in each Annual Report.

Section 5.2 Intentionally Deleted.

Section 5.3 Payments Received In Error.

(a) If the Sellers become entitled to any payment from any other Person, including any Permitted Licensee, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and such payment is nevertheless made to Cibus or any of its Affiliates, Cibus shall pay over or cause to be paid over to the Sellers, promptly (and in any event within five Business Days) after the receipt thereof, the amount of such payment received by wire transfer to an account or account(s) designated in writing by the Seller Representative on behalf of the Sellers, and Xxxxx shall be entitled to rely solely on the written instructions provided by Seller Representative in this regard. In such event, Cibus shall, or shall cause its Affiliate to, (i) until paid to the Sellers, hold such payment received in trust for the benefit of the Sellers and (ii) have no right, title or interest in such payment and shall not pledge or otherwise grant any security interest therein.

(b) If Cibus or any of its Affiliates becomes entitled to any payment from any other Person, including any Permitted Licensee, and such payment is nevertheless made to any Seller, such Seller shall pay over to Cibus or such Affiliate as may be designated in writing by Cibus, promptly (and in any event within five Business Days) after the receipt thereof, the amount of such payment received by wire transfer to an account designated in writing by Xxxxx. In such event, the Seller shall (i) until paid to Cibus or its Affiliate(s), hold such payment received in trust for the benefit of Cibus or its Affiliate(s) and (ii) have no right, title or interest in such payment and shall not pledge or otherwise grant any security interest therein.

Section 5.4 Warrant Purchase Payments; Warrant Consideration and Other Reports.

(a) Cibus shall pay to the Sellers the Warrant Purchase Payments for each calendar quarter promptly, but in any event no later than forty-five (45) calendar days after the end of each such calendar quarter. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Cibus shall not be obligated to pay any portion of the Warrant Purchase Payments to the Sellers until the first quarter in which the aggregate of the Warrant Purchase Payments that would otherwise be due to the Sellers during any consecutive twelve (12)-month period equals or exceeds five million dollars (USD$5,000,000), whereupon Cibus shall pay to the Sellers the full amount of such aggregated Warrant Purchase Payments no later than forty-five (45) calendar days after the end of such calendar quarter.

(b) Cibus shall make all payments required to be made by it to the Sellers pursuant to this Agreement in U.S. dollars by check or wire transfer of immediately available funds, without set-off, reduction or deduction, or withholding for or on account of any Taxes (provided that each applicable Seller has provided to Cibus the appropriate form referenced in Section 4.2(f) hereof), to the bank account designated in writing from time to time by the Seller Representative on behalf of the Sellers, and Xxxxx shall be entitled to rely solely on the written instructions of the Seller Representative in this regard.

(c) If Cibus fails, or expects to fail, to satisfy any of its payment obligations owed to the Sellers pursuant to this Agreement when such obligations are due, Cibus shall send a

notice to the Seller Representative (a “Late Payment Notice”) disclosing such failure or expected failure. If Cibus sends a Late Payment Notice to the Seller Representative, Xxxxx’ failure to satisfy any of its payment obligations during a calendar year will not be considered a breach of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, and each of the Sellers and the Seller Representative, on behalf of the Sellers, hereby agree not to exercise any remedies under this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents until Cibus has been delinquent in its payment obligations for an aggregate of ninety (90) calendar days in such calendar year, which ninety (90) day period shall not include any days during which Cibus and the Seller Representative are in good faith disputing amounts owing by Xxxxx to the Sellers. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a late fee of 4% over the Prime Rate will accrue on all unpaid amounts from the date such obligations were due (e.g., forty-five (45) days after the end of the applicable calendar quarter). The imposition and payment of a late fee shall not constitute a waiver of any of the Sellers’ rights with respect to such payment default.

(d) Prior to or simultaneously with each payment of the Warrant Purchase Payments, Cibus shall deliver a written report to the Seller Representative setting forth in reasonable detail, the calculation of the aggregate amount of the Warrant Purchase Payments payable to the Sellers for such calendar quarter identifying the Subject Revenues generated by Cibus and its Affiliates to determine the aggregate amount of the Warrant Purchase Payments due to the Sellers (the “Warrant Consideration Report”). The Warrant Consideration Report shall be in substantially the form attached to this Agreement as Exhibit C.

Section 5.5 Inspections and Audits of Cibus. Following the first Closing, upon reasonable prior written notice and during normal business hours, no more frequently than once per calendar year, the Seller Representative may cause an inspection and/or audit by an independent public accounting firm reasonably acceptable to Cibus to be made of Cibus’ books of account for the three (3) calendar years prior to the audit for the purpose of determining the correctness of Warrant Purchase Payments made under this Agreement. All of the expenses of any inspection or audit requested by the Seller Representative hereunder (including the fees and expenses of such independent public accounting firm designated for such purpose) shall be borne by (i) the Sellers, if the independent public accounting firm determines that the aggregate amount of the Warrant Purchase Payments previously paid were incorrect by an amount less than or equal to five percent (5%) of the aggregate Warrant Purchase Payments actually due and payable or (ii) Cibus, if the independent public accounting firm determines that Warrant Purchase Payments previously paid were incorrect by an amount greater than five percent (5%) of the Warrant Purchase Payments actually due and payable. Any such accounting firm shall not disclose the confidential information of Cibus to the Seller Representative or any Seller, except to the extent such disclosure is either necessary to determine the correctness of Warrant Purchase Payments or otherwise would be included in an Annual Report or Warrant Consideration Report. All information obtained by the Seller Representative or any Seller as a result of any such inspection or audit shall be Confidential Information subject to ARTICLE 7.

Section 5.6 Prosecution and Maintenance of Patents. Cibus shall use, and shall cause each of the Cibus Entities to use, commercially reasonable efforts, consistent with past practice, to prosecute and maintain at its own expense, or cause its (sub)licensees to prosecute and maintain, the Patents listed on Schedule 3.1(j)(i) so that they do not lapse or expire due to acts or omissions of Cibus or any of Cibus’ (sub)licensees until the applicable expiration dates

specified in Schedule 3.1(j)(i); provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply to any such Patent if the failure to prosecute and maintain such Patent could not reasonably be expected to adversely affect Cibus’ right or ability to receive Subject Revenues or the Sellers’ rights with respect to any portion of the Warrant Purchase Consideration hereunder. It is understood that such past practice includes the filing of provisional applications as a memorialization and recordation of Cibus’ trade secrets only, including those covering RTDS Rights, for which there is no intent to file any further application based on such provisional applications (e.g., as a United States utility application or an international application). Cibus shall not be required to maintain such provisionals and shall have the right to prosecute, maintain or allow such provisionals to lapse at its sole discretion.

Section 5.7 Enforcement of Intellectual Property Rights.

(a) Xxxxx shall promptly inform the Seller Representative of any suspected infringement by a Third Party of any Patent Right.

(b) Prior to initiating, or permitting the initiation of, an enforcement action regarding any suspected infringement by a Third Party of any Patent Right, Cibus shall provide the Seller Representative with written notice of such enforcement action.

(c) If Cibus recovers monetary damages from a Third Party in an action brought for such Third Party’s infringement of any of the Patent Rights, where such damages, whether in the form of judgment or settlement, result from such infringement of such Patent Rights, such recovery will be allocated first to the reimbursement of any expenses incurred by Cibus or a Permitted Licensee in such litigation, and any remaining amounts will be treated as part of the Subject Revenues. All costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by a party hereto in connection with any enforcement action shall be borne by such party.

Section 5.8 Commercially Reasonable Efforts. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Transaction Documents and applicable laws, Cibus will strive to protect, preserve and maintain all properties and assets of Cibus and its Affiliates that are material to, or are reasonably expected to be material to, the generation of Subject Revenues in accordance with customary industry practices.

Section 5.9 Efforts to Consummate Transactions. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each of Cibus, the Seller Representative and the Sellers will use its commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things reasonably necessary under applicable law to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Each of the Sellers, the Seller Representative and Xxxxx agrees to execute and deliver such other documents, certificates, agreements and other writings and to take such other actions as may be reasonably necessary in order to consummate or implement expeditiously the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 5.10 Further Assurances. From and after the Effective Date, Xxxxx, the Sellers and the Seller Representative agree to execute and deliver such other documents, certificates, agreements and other writings and to take such other actions as may be reasonably

necessary in order to give effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (and, in the case of the Seller Representative, to cause each Seller to execute and deliver such other documents, certificates, agreements and other writings and to take such other actions as may be reasonably necessary in order to give effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement).

Section 5.11 In-Licenses.

(a) Cibus shall provide the Seller Representative with copies of all written notices or correspondence to any counterparty to an In-License relating to, or involving, RTDS or the RTDS Rights and that could reasonably be expected to adversely affect the Warrant Purchase Consideration in any material respect promptly, and in any event within five (5) Business Days following Cibus’ (or its Affiliate’s) delivery of such notice or correspondence. Promptly, and in any event within five (5) Business Days, following the receipt by Cibus or any of its Affiliates of any report, notice or correspondence under any In-License that could reasonably be expected to adversely affect the Warrant Purchase Consideration in any material respect, Cibus shall furnish a copy of such notice or correspondence to the Seller Representative.

(c) Cibus shall use, and shall cause its applicable Affiliates to use, commercially reasonable efforts to comply in all material respects with its obligations under each In-License to which it is a party and shall use commercially reasonable efforts not to take any action or forego any action that would reasonably be expected to constitute a material breach thereof. Promptly, and in any event within five (5) Business Days, after receipt of any (written or oral) notice from any counterparty to an In-License of an alleged breach by Cibus or its Affiliate(s) under such In-License, Cibus shall give notice thereof to the Seller Representative, including delivering to the Seller Representative a copy of any such written notice. Unless otherwise agreed to with the Seller Representative in writing, Cibus shall use, and shall cause its applicable Affiliates to use, commercially reasonable efforts to cure any breaches by it under any such In-License and shall give written notice to the Seller Representative upon curing any such breach.

(d) Xxxxx shall provide to the Seller Representative a copy of any written notice of breach or alleged breach of any In-License delivered by Xxxxx to any counterparty thereto as soon as practicable and in any event not less than five (5) Business Days following such delivery.

(a) Subject to compliance with this Section 5.12 and Section 5.15 below, Cibus may license or cause its Affiliates to license (but not assign or otherwise transfer title to, except pursuant to Section 10.6) all or a portion of the RTDS Rights to a Third Party (a “Permitted Licensee”) to develop, manufacture, promote, market, use, sell, offer for sale, import or distribute products arising out of the RTDS Rights in all or any portion of the Territory without the Seller Representative’s prior written consent (any such license, a “Permitted License”).

(b) Xxxxx shall provide to the Seller Representative executed copies of any Permitted License or any proposed Modification thereof not later than five (5) Business Days following the execution thereof.

Section 5.13 Partner Agreements.

(a) Cibus shall use, and shall cause its applicable Affiliates to use, commercially reasonable efforts to comply in all material respects with its obligations under the Partner Agreements and shall use, and shall cause its applicable Affiliates to use, commercially reasonable efforts not to take any action or forego any action that would reasonably be expected to constitute a material breach thereof. Promptly, and in any event within five (5) Business Days, after receipt of any (written or oral) notice from each of the parties thereto or their Affiliates of an alleged breach by Cibus or any of its Affiliates under a Partner Agreement, Cibus shall give notice thereof to the Seller Representative, including delivering to the Seller Representative a copy of any such written notice. Unless otherwise agreed to with the Seller Representative in writing, Cibus shall use, and shall cause its applicable Affiliates to use, commercially reasonable efforts to cure any breaches by it under the Partner Agreement and shall give written notice to the Seller Representative upon curing any such breach.

(b) Promptly (and in any event within five (5) Business Days) after Xxxxx becomes aware of, or comes to believe in good faith that there has been, a breach of either of the Partner Agreements by the counterparty thereto, Cibus shall provide notice of such breach to the Seller Representative. In addition, Xxxxx shall provide to the Seller Representative a copy of any written notice of breach or alleged breach of the Partner Agreement delivered by Xxxxx to the counterparty thereto as soon as practicable and in any event not less than five Business Days following such delivery.

WARRANT TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE AGREEMENT

JOINDER AGREEMENT

Pursuant to and in accordance with Section 1.3 of the Warrant Transfer and Exchange Agreement, dated December 31, 2014 (as amended, restated or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Agreement”), by and among Cibus Global, Ltd. (“Cibus”), the persons and entities named therein as Xxxxxxx and Xxxx Xxxxx as the Seller Representative (“Seller Representative”), the undersigned Seller has agreed to sell to Cibus one or more Warrants in exchange for a portion of the Warrant Purchase Consideration, as further set forth below and pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Agreement. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Agreement.

1. Agreements. The undersigned Seller hereby certifies that (a) such Seller has read and understands the Agreement and the Intellectual Property Security Agreement and (b) such Seller desires to sell to Cibus, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Agreement, Warrants to purchase shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by the undersigned (the “Seller’s Subject Warrants”). In the event the Seller’s Subject Warrant is being sold with respect to less than all of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock subject thereto, Xxxxx hereby agrees to issue and deliver to Seller a new warrant exercisable for that number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock subject to Seller’s Subject Warrants not being sold pursuant to this Joinder Agreement. The undersigned Seller hereby acknowledges and agrees that the sale of the Seller’s Subject Warrants pursuant to this Joinder Agreement is subject to and conditioned upon the terms and conditions of the Agreement and that no Closing will occur with respect to the Seller’s Subject Warrants unless and until all such terms and conditions have been satisfied. In addition, the undersigned Seller represents and warrants to Cibus and the Seller Representative that with respect to the portion of the Seller’s Subject Warrants being sold pursuant hereto, the Seller has held such Subject Warrants for a period of at least one (1) year from the date of issuance of such Subject Warrants.

2. Cancellation of Warrants; Xxxxxxx. The undersigned Seller hereby agrees that as a condition precedent to and effective upon the Closing of the sale and purchase of the Seller’s Subject Warrants, (a) the Seller’s Subject Warrants shall be cancelled by Cibus in accordance with Section 1.2 of the Agreement in exchange for the right to receive the Warrant Purchase Consideration with respect to such Seller’s Subject Warrants, (b) the undersigned Seller shall become a party to and bound by the Agreement as a “Seller” in all respects and (c) the undersigned Seller shall become a party to and bound by the Intellectual Property Security Agreement as a “Secured Party” in all respects.

3. Seller Representations and Warranties. Without limiting the foregoing or anything else contained in the Agreement, the undersigned Seller hereby confirms that the representations and warranties of the Sellers contained in Section 3.2 of the Agreement are true and correct with respect to the undersigned Seller as of the date hereof.

4. Release. Effective upon the Closing of the sale and purchase of the Seller’s Subject Warrants, the undersigned Seller, on behalf of (a) if the undersigned is an individual, himself or herself and his or her heirs, successors and assigns and (b) if the undersigned is an entity, the undersigned and its partners, directors, officers and employees, solely in their capacities as such (collectively, the “Releasing Parties”), forever irrevocably and unconditionally waives and releases Cibus, the Seller Representative, and their respective predecessors, successors, assigns, parents, subsidiaries, divisions and insurers and each of their respective directors, officers, stockholders, employees, agents and Affiliates (the “Releasees”) from any and all Claims (as defined below), known and unknown, existing or claimed to exist, fixed or contingent that have been or might have been asserted under any foreign, federal, state, local or common law, directly or indirectly, arising out of or in any way related to the Seller’s Subject Warrants, the Seller’s ownership thereof and the Seller’s election to sell the Seller’s Subject Warrants to Cibus (collectively, the “Released Claims”). The undersigned Seller hereby acknowledges having considered the possibility that the undersigned may not now know the nature or value of the claims that are released pursuant to this paragraph and that such release extends to all claims of every nature and kind, known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, past, present or future, however arising, relating to the Seller’s Subject Warrants, the Seller’s ownership thereof and the Seller’s election to sell the Seller’s Subject Warrants to Cibus. In addition, the undersigned (i) represents, warrants and acknowledges that the undersigned has been fully advised by his, or its attorney of the contents of Section 1542 of the Civil Code of the State of California and (ii) expressly waives any rights or benefits under Section 1542 of the Civil Code of the State of California and any similar provisions of the law of any other jurisdiction. Section 1542 of the Civil Code of the State of California states:

“A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him or her must have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor.”

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the foregoing shall not constitute a release of claims or any other matter with respect to any of the rights of the undersigned or any obligations of the Releasees to the undersigned arising out of the Agreement or the Intellectual Property Security Agreement.

5. Governing Law. This Joinder Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule that would cause the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction.

[remainder of this page intentionally left blank]

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Joinder Agreement has been duly executed by or on behalf of the undersigned as of the date set forth below.
