Exhibit A

Form of Consulting Agreement

This Consulting Agreement (this “Agreement”), effective as of _________________, 2021 (the “Effective Date”), is by and between ARCADIA BIOSCIENCES, INC. (the “Company”), and XXXXXXX XXXXXX (the “Consultant”). The Company and the Consultant are sometimes referred to in this Agreement individually as a “Party” and collectively as the “Parties”.

BACKGROUND

The Consultant previously served as the CEO of the Company and possesses certain qualifications, experience, and expertise relevant to the Company’s business.

The Company desires to contract with the Consultant, and the Consultant desires to contract with the Company, on a limited basis, to provide certain professional business consulting and advisory services to the Company during a short transition period following his departure from the Company.

ACCORDINGLY, in consideration of the mutual agreements, covenants, representations and warranties contained in this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which the Parties acknowledge, the Parties agree as follows:

AGREEMENT

Independent Contractor Relationship.

The Company and Consultant agree to enter into a business-to-business relationship and Consultant’s engagement and provision of the services hereunder will be as an independent contractor to the Company. Consultant is not, and will not be considered to be, an employee, joint venturer, or partner of the Company or any of the Company’s owners or affiliates for any reason. The Company will not direct or supervise the means by which Consultant achieves the objectives and goals he has been retained by the Company to achieve. However, the Company does have authority to approve and control the ultimate outcome of any service Consultant provides so as to ensure the Company is receiving the benefit of its bargain.

As an independent contractor to the Company, Consultant will be solely responsible for all federal, state, and/or local, employment (including self-employment), income, social security and other similar levies and taxes on payments made to him under this Agreement. Consultant agrees that as an independent contractor, he is not entitled to, and the Company has no obligation to provide him with, any form of employee benefits, including, but not limited to, wages, health or other insurance coverage, unemployment or state disability contributions, pension or retirement benefits, paid sick or vacation leave, other paid or unpaid leave, or any other such benefit that may be available to employees of the Company.

The Consultant will not have any authority to act for or to bind the Company or any of the Company’s affiliates in any way except as expressly authorized in advance by the Company’s CEO, and the Consultant will not (i) hold himself out as having the power to make commitments to others on behalf of the Company or any of the Company’s affiliates without the Company’s prior written consent; (ii) incur expenses on the Company’s behalf or extend credit in the name of the Company or any of the Company’s affiliates without the Company’s prior written consent; or (iii) except with respect to the Consultant’s provision of the consulting services, make any representations or warranties on behalf of the Company or any of the Company’s affiliates without the Company’s prior written consent.

Consulting Services.

During the Term, and in accordance with the conditions, provisions and terms contained in this Agreement, the Consultant will provide certain consulting services to the Company as outlined in the Statement of Work attached as Exhibit A, or as requested by the CEO of the Company from time to time (the “Consulting Services”). Consultant shall use his best efforts to perform the Consulting Services such that the results are satisfactory to the Company. Consultant will report to the Company’s CEO concerning the Consulting Services performed under this Agreement. The nature and frequency of these reports will be left to the discretion of the Company.

Term.

This Agreement will be effective for the period commencing on the Effective Date stated above and ending on November 30, 2021 (the “Term”); provided, however, that the Parties may extend the Term through the execution of a mutually acceptable written amendment to this Agreement.

Notwithstanding the immediately preceding paragraph, Consultant may terminate this Agreement at any time upon twenty (20) days’ written notice. Also, should Consultant default in the performance of the Consulting Services under this Agreement or materially breach any of his duties or obligations under the Agreement, the Company may terminate this Agreement immediately.

In the event of termination: (i) Consultant shall promptly discontinue all work hereunder (unless the notice from the Company provides otherwise); (ii) Consultant shall deliver, or otherwise make available to, the Company, all data, drawings, specifications, reports, estimates, summaries and such other information and materials as may have been created or otherwise accumulated by Consultant in performing the Consulting Services, whether completed or in progress; and (iii) the Company shall compensate Consultant through the termination date for Consulting Services actually performed hereunder in accordance with the rates set forth herein.

Time Devoted; Accessibility.

During the Term, and subject to Exhibit A hereto, the Consultant will devote his best abilities, efforts, energies, interest and time to the Company’s affairs and business as needed to provide the Consulting Services and as requested by the Company. While Consultant will make himself reasonably accessible to the Company during the Term of this Agreement, he is not obligated to provide services exclusively to the Company and is free to provide consulting services to others during the Term of the Agreement.

Duties and Obligations of Consultant.

Consultant shall at all times perform his Consulting Services with a high degree of professional skill and diligence and in accordance with all applicable law, statutes, and regulations. Consultant shall be responsible, to the level of competency presently maintained by others in the profession performing the same type of work, for the professional and technical soundness, accuracy and adequacy of all work and materials furnished under this Agreement. In providing Consulting Services, Consultant shall also conduct himself in relation to all of the Company’s employees, clients, affiliates, and agents, in a professional and respectful manner. Consultant shall comply with all applicable laws and shall not harass, discriminate, retaliate, defame, disparage, or in any other way engage in inappropriate conduct toward any employee, client, affiliate, or agent of the Company. Consultant shall not use or disclose, or suffer or permit any of his employees or agents to use or disclose, any information received from the Company during the performance of the Consulting Services, for his own benefit, profit, or gain, or the benefit, profit, or gain by another individual or entity. Consultant shall issue no public announcement or press release relating to his retention by the Company hereunder without the express prior agreement of the Company.

Fees.

As compensation for the Consulting Services, the Company will pay Consultant according to the compensation schedule set forth in Exhibit A. No compensation for travel, meals, mileage, or per diem allowances shall be payable to Consultant unless shown on Exhibit A or otherwise approved by the Company in advance of any expense being incurred. Consultant otherwise is responsible for all costs and expenses he incurs in the performance of the Consulting Services under this Agreement. Unless otherwise specified in Exhibit A, Consultant shall submit invoices to the Company each month for the Consulting Services rendered hereunder, which invoices shall be paid within fifteen (15) days of receipt by the Company. Should the Company dispute any part of an invoice submitted by Consultant, the basis of such dispute shall be delivered by the Company to Consultant, in writing, within five (5) calendar days of the subject invoice transmittal date. If no such notice from the Company is received by Consultant, the invoice shall be deemed approved by the Company.

Restrictive Covenants.

Confidential Information. Consultant acknowledges, agrees and understands that the Company’s confidential information constitutes a valuable asset of the Company that

Consultant may not convert to his own use or to the benefit of any person or entity except the Company. Consultant further acknowledges and agrees that during his engagement by the Company, he may have access to and become acquainted with various confidential, proprietary, and/or trade secret information belonging to the Company and/or the Company’s clients, including but not limited to, the Company’s (or its client’s) business and financial information, marketing campaigns and strategies, business methods and prospects, client lists, target lists, employment and internal operation information, login and password information, strategies, formulas, and other similar information and records. Consultant agrees that he will not disclose any of the Company’s confidential information, or the confidential information of its clients, directly or indirectly, or use any of the information in any manner, either during the term of this Agreement or at any time thereafter, except as required in the course of Consultant’s engagement by the Company. Consultant also agrees to perform his services pursuant to this Agreement under privilege until the work product prepared by Consultant has become a matter of public record. Prior to any work product becoming a matter of public record, Consultant shall keep confidential and not disclose to any person, firm, or corporation, unless authorized by the Company in writing, any information relating to his work or a particular project. All documents, designs, drawings, drafts, studies, graphics, photographs, work papers, memoranda, and/or and reports (whether hard copy or electric versions) prepared by Consultant for the Company (or its client) under this Agreement shall be considered to be the property of the Company on payment for services performed by Consultant.

Non-Solicitation. During the Term of this Agreement, and to the fullest extent permitted by law, for a period of two years after termination of the Agreement, Consultant agrees and covenants that he will not, on Consultant’s own behalf or on behalf of any other person or entity, induce or solicit, directly or indirectly, any employee or contractor of the Company to terminate their relationship with the Company.

Ownership of Contracts, Deliverables and Intellectual Property.

The Consultant acknowledges, agrees and understands that the Company’s respective intellectual property rights are exclusively and solely the property of the Company and/or the Company’s clients or affiliates, as applicable, and that all use of such intellectual property rights inures to the benefit of the Company and/or the Company’s clients or affiliates. The Consultant acknowledges, agrees and understands that the Company owns all contracts entered into among and by the Company and any other person.

Insurance.

At his sole cost, Consultant shall procure, carry, and maintain in force continuously during the life of this Agreement, all forms of insurance, if any, applicable to his profession and business as related to the Consulting Services provided to the Company. Examples of such insurance that may be applicable are: a) workers’ compensation insurance, as may be required by law if he has

employees; b) the minimum auto liability insurance required under California law; and c) any professional errors and omissions insurance.

10.

Arbitration.

The Parties agree that they will act in good faith and act reasonably and promptly to resolve, by negotiation, any dispute that may arise under or related to this Agreement. The Parties agree that if any dispute between them that relates to the Consulting Services performed under this Agreement, or the terms of this Agreement, shall be submitted to binding arbitration pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act. The arbitration shall be conducted by and pursuant to the rules of Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services (“JAMS”) in effect at the time of the initiation of the arbitration and the decision of the Arbitrator shall be binding on the Parties. Each party shall bear their own costs at arbitration, but the Parties agree that the arbitrator shall have the authority to award the costs of arbitration, including reasonable attorney’s fees, to the prevailing party. The written decision of the Arbitrator shall be final and binding. This arbitration agreement shall be deemed to be a self-executing arbitration agreement. Any dispute concerning the interpretation or the enforceability of this section, including, without limitation, its revocability or voidability for any cause, any challenges to the enforcement or the validity of this Agreement, or this section, or the scope of arbitrable issues under this section, and any defense relating to the enforcement of this section, including, without limitation, waiver, estoppel, or laches, shall be decided by an arbitrator in accordance with this section and not by a court of law. The venue of the arbitration shall be in Yolo County, California. The arbitration process shall be initiated by one Party delivering a written request for arbitration to the other Party. The written request must be received by the other Party within the time limits that would otherwise apply to the filing of a civil complaint in court. The written request for arbitration shall identify and describe the nature of the issues in dispute. After the arbitration is initiated by the service of a written request for arbitration by one Party to the other Party, the parties shall select a neutral arbitrator within 30 days. If the Parties are unable to agree upon a neutral arbitrator within 30 days, they will obtain a list of five neutral arbitrators from JAMS and shall then strike names alternatively until one arbitrator’s name remains. The arbitration shall then commence pursuant to the rules and schedules imposed by the JAMS and/or the arbitrator. Nothing in this Section prohibits the Parties from submitting their dispute to mediation. However, if the dispute is not resolved in mediation, it shall be submitted to binding arbitration pursuant to this Agreement.

11.

IF APPLICABLE: Arcadia desires to retain Xxxxxx as a consultant after the effective date of his resignation and Xxxxxx desires to provide consulting services to Arcadia pursuant to a separate consulting agreement to be entered into by the Parties.

For and in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants in this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:

TERMS OF AGREEMENT

Separation. The Company has notified Xxxxxx that his employment with Arcadia shall end on _________, 2021 (“Separation Date”). As of the Separation Date, Xxxxxx will no longer be an employee of the Company. Xxxxxx hereby resigns from all other positions he has with Arcadia or any affiliate of Arcadia, including without limitation as a director, manager, employee or agent of Arcadia or any of its affiliates.

Accrued Salary and Vacation. On the Separation Date the Company will pay Xxxxxx all accrued salary, and all accrued and unused vacation earned through the Separation

Date, subject to all required payroll deductions and withholdings. Xxxxxx is entitled to these payments regardless of whether or not he signs this Agreement.

Consulting Agreement. Arcadia agrees to retain Xxxxxx as a consultant for a limited period commencing on the Separation Date, and continuing through November 30, 2021 pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the Consulting Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit A (“Consulting Agreement”).

Stock Options. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, if Xxxxxx does not revoke acceptance of this Agreement or the releases contained herein, then on the later of the Separation Date and the Effective Date (as defined in Section 32 of this Agreement), Xxxxxx will be entitled to the benefits described in this Section 4.

Xxxxxx holds options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock (“Options”) that were granted pursuant to the Plan, the rights of which Options are set forth in stock option agreements for these Options (“Stock Option Agreements”) and the Plan. Each Option is described on Exhibit B.

As consideration for the releases contained herein and subject to the terms of this Agreement, on the Separation Date the Company agrees to (i) cause the Options to vest with respect to all shares of the Company’s common stock subject thereto and (ii) allow Xxxxxx to exercise vested Options until the thirty (30) month anniversary of the Separation Date, or such earlier date as may be provided in the Plan and the applicable Stock Option Agreements in circumstances other than the termination of Xxxxxx’x employment with the Company (collectively, the “Option Amendments”).

The Options shall continue to be governed by the terms of the Stock Option Agreements and the Plan, except as specifically modified by the terms of this Section 4.

The Option Amendments shall be conditioned upon and subject to Xxxxxx’x compliance with the obligations imposed by this Agreement, the Consulting Agreement and the CIA Agreement. Xxxxxx’x violation of this Agreement, the Consulting Agreement or the CIA Agreement shall entitle the Company to terminate the Option Amendments by written notice to Xxxxxx.

Xxxxxx understands and agrees that to the extent that he is in position of material nonpublic information about the Company or its business partners, Xxxxxx may not trade the Company’s common stock until such information is absorbed by the market following public announcement of it by the Company or another authorized party, or until such time as the information is no longer material. The foregoing restriction does not apply to Xxxxxx’x exercise of the Options, but the sale of the stock issued upon exercise of the Options is subject to the foregoing restrictions.

5. Health Insurance Benefits. Xxxxxx’x right to continue to participate in any of the health insurance benefit plans and programs of Arcadia in effect as of the Separation Date shall be determined according to the terms and provisions of such programs and plans and applicable law.

Should Xxxxxx elect to continue health insurance benefits under COBRA, Arcadia shall pay the premium payments for such benefits through the earlier of May 31, 2022, or such time as Xxxxxx and/or his eligible dependents become covered under another health insurance plan. Xxxxxx shall have a duty to notify Arcadia if he and/or his eligible dependents become covered under another health insurance plan prior to May 31, 2022, at which time Arcadia shall have the right to terminate further COBRA premium payments. Also, should Xxxxxx not elect COBRA, this severance benefit shall be forfeited and Arcadia shall have no obligation to pay Xxxxxx the value of the COBRA premium payment

Separation Payments. In addition to the limited consulting arrangement Arcadia is offering Xxxxxx as discussed in Section 3 of this Agreement, the Option Amendments as discussed in Section 4 of this Agreement, and the COBRA premium payments as discussed in Section 5 of this Agreement, the Company shall pay Xxxxxx three separation payments (each a “Separation Payment”) on January 1, 2022, February 1, 2022 and March 1, 2022 . Each of the first and second Separation Payments shall be in amount equal to Sixty One Thousand Six Hundred Sixty Six Dollars ($61,666), which is equivalent to two months of Xxxxxx’x base salary as of the Separation Date. The third Separation Payment shall be in an amount equal to One Hundred Forty Three Thousand Two Hundred Seventy Eight Dollars ($143,278), which is the equivalent to the sum of two months of Xxxxxx’x base salary as of the Separation Date and the estimated pro-rated bonus that Xxxxxx would have been entitled to receive pursuant to Section 3(a)(iv) of the Severance Agreement if Xxxxxx were terminated without Cause (as defined in the Severance Agreement) on the Separation Date.

Required Conditions for Issuance of Separation Benefits. To be eligible to receive the limited consulting arrangement, the Option Amendments, the COBRA premium payments, and the Separation Payments as discussed in Sections 3-6 of this Agreement (“Separation Benefits”) Xxxxxx must:

Sign and return this Agreement to Arcadia within twenty-one (21) calendar days from ____________, 2021 (which is the date the Agreement was provided to Xxxxxx for review and consideration), and not revoke his acceptance once he signs the Agreement. Any negotiations or amendments made to the Agreement by the Parties following _____________, 2021 shall not extend the twenty-one (21) calendar day period.

Support the internal and external messaging by Arcadia of his departure from the Company which supports the employees and the business objectives of the Company.

Comply with all terms and conditions under this Agreement, as well as under the Consulting Agreement, and the CIA Agreement.

Other Compensation or Benefits. Xxxxxx acknowledges that the Separation Benefits are sufficient consideration provided to him in return for his execution of this Agreement and

that he was not otherwise entitled to such Separation Benefits upon his separation of employment from Arcadia. Xxxxxx further acknowledges that, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, he is not entitled to and will not receive, in connection with his employment with Arcadia, any additional compensation, benefits or severance after the Separation Date. Thus, for any Company sponsored employee benefits not referenced in this Agreement, Xxxxxx will be treated as a terminated employee effective on the Separation Date.

Expense Reimbursement. Xxxxxx agrees that no later than five (5) days after the Separation Date, he will submit any final documented expense reimbursement statement reflecting all business expenses he incurred through the Separation Date, if any, for which he seeks reimbursement. The Company will reimburse Xxxxxx for these expenses pursuant to its regular business practice.

10.

Return of Company Property. Xxxxxx agrees to immediately return to the Company on the Separation Date, all Company documents (and all copies thereof) and other Company property in his possession or control, including, but not limited to, Company files, notes, drawings, memoranda, records, business plans and forecasts, reports, proposals, personnel information, financial information, specifications, computer-recorded information, tangible property (laptop computer, cell phone, PDA, etc.), entry cards, identification badges and keys; and, any materials of any kind that contain or embody any proprietary or confidential information of the Company (and all reproductions thereof in whole or in part). Xxxxxx agrees that he will make a diligent search to locate any such documents, property and information on or before the Separation Date. If Xxxxxx has used any non-Company computer, hard drive, portable flash drive, server, cellular telephone, iPhone, iPod, Blackberry, PDA, or e-mail system to receive, store, review, prepare or transmit any Company confidential or proprietary data, materials or information, he agrees to immediately provide the Company with a computer-useable copy of such information and then permanently delete and expunge such Company confidential or proprietary information from those systems. Xxxxxx further agrees to provide the Company access to such systems as requested to verify that the necessary copying and/or deletion is completed. By executing and returning this Agreement, Xxxxxx is certifying that he will comply with his obligations herein to return all Company documents and information regardless of where he has maintained such Company property. Xxxxxx’x compliance with the terms of this Section is a condition precedent to his eligibility to receive the Separation Benefits described above.

11.

Continuing Obligation to Protect Company’s Proprietary Information. Xxxxxx acknowledges that by reason of his position with Arcadia, he was, or may have been, given access to confidential or proprietary information or materials respecting Company’s business affairs, or the business affairs of the Company’s customers, parent, subsidiaries, or affiliates. Such confidential information includes, but is not limited to, the Company’s business strategies, financial results, human resource and personnel documentation, contractual agreements between Company and other individuals or entities, strategies and ideas, compilation of information and records which are owned by Company and which are regularly used in operation of its business, procedures, written descriptions, processes, research projects, protocols or other tangible items and documentation, including computer

programs, reports and marketing information. Xxxxxx represents that he has held all such information in confidence and will continue to do so. Xxxxxx further acknowledges and agrees to comply with his continuing obligations under the CIA Agreement to refrain from disclosing or using, for himself or another, any of the Company’s proprietary trade secret information.

12.

Non-Interference; Non-Solicitation. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Xxxxxx agrees not to unlawfully interfere with any of the Company's contractual obligations or prospective business opportunities with others. Furthermore, Xxxxxx agrees not to: (i) use any of the Company's confidential proprietary or trade secret information to contact, with the intent to solicit or solicit the business of any client, customer, creditor, or licensee of the Company; or (ii) during a period of two (2) years after the later of the Effective Date of this Agreement and the Separation Date, take any action to induce or solicit employees or independent contractors of the Company to sever their relationship with Arcadia and accept an employment or an independent contractor relationship with any other business. Xxxxxx acknowledges that this Section 12 is a reasonable and necessary measure designed to protect the confidential proprietary and trade secret information of the Company, as well as its employment and business relationships, and does not prejudice Xxxxxx in his ability to work in his trade or profession.

13.

Cooperation. In the event that Arcadia or any of its affiliates becomes involved in any legal action relating to events which occurred during Xxxxxx’x employment with the Company, Xxxxxx shall cooperate with the Company to the fullest extent possible in the preparation, prosecution, or defense of the Company and/or its affiliate, including, but not limited to, the execution of affidavits or documents, testifying, or providing information requested by Arcadia or its affiliates, such assistance to be provided at the expense of the Company or its affiliate.
