As provided below, the JSC shall establish, monitor, and govern projects for the Aquaculture Program. Either Party may propose potential projects in the Field for review and consideration by the JSC.

2.2 Committees.

(a) Generally. The Parties desire to establish several committees (collectively, “Committees”) to oversee the Aquaculture Program and to facilitate communications between the Parties with respect thereto. Each of such Committees shall have the responsibilities and authority allocated to it in this Article 2. Each of the Committees shall have the obligation to exercise its authority consistent with the respective purpose for such Committee as stated herein and any such decisions shall be made in good faith.

(b) Formation and Purpose. Promptly following the Effective Date, the Parties shall confer and then create a Joint Steering Committee (“JSC”) and an Intellectual Property Committee (“IPC”). The JSC shall have authority, subject to Section 2.5 and except as otherwise delegated to the IPC, to (i) establish research and development projects for the Aquaculture Program (including establishing the priorities and budgets for such projects), (ii) oversee manufacturing and controls for AquaBounty Products, (iii) review and approve all regulatory trial projects and associated regulatory filings and correspondence under the Aquaculture Program (including reviewing and approving itemized budgets with respect to the foregoing), (iv) establish project plans and review and approve activities and budgets for Commercialization activities under the Aquaculture Program, and (v) approve the projects and plans of any subcommittee it establishes consistent with this authority. The IPC shall have authority, subject to Section 2.5, to evaluate all intellectual property issues and approve

associated collaborative activities in connection with the Aquaculture Program, including the protection of Inventions or Confidential Information, the filing of Patents, licensing of Third Party intellectual property, the establishment or enforcement of controls concerning the dissemination or use of intellectual property (including Intrexon Channel Technology, Intrexon IP, or Intrexon Materials) for the development or manufacturing of AquaBounty Products.

(c) JSC Governance Activities. Promptly following creation of the JSC, the JSC shall meet and deliberate on a regular basis as set forth in Section 2.3 below. The JSC shall review information and make recommendations as necessary to the Parties to implement the Aquaculture Program and, subject to Section 2.5, authorize activities of the Parties under the Aquaculture Program consistent with the terms and provisions of this Agreement. The activities of the JSC shall include, from time to time as warranted or necessary: (i) preparation of written plans for each Aquaculture Program project detailing for each project its purpose and objectives, the activities to be performed, a timeline for achievement of such activities and a budget (including Intrexon activities and associated budget for support services), and timing for the transfer of relevant Information and materials between the Parties; (ii) preparation of research and development plans associated with any necessary regulatory approvals for any projects for the Aquaculture Program, all associated publications, and all regulatory filings and correspondence related to gaining regulatory approval for new AquaBounty Projects under the Aquaculture Program; (iii) review of the overall progress of a project against any approved plan and advising the Parties accordingly; (iv) establishment of procedures for any necessary technology transfer between the Parties; (v) preparation of plans relating to regulatory approval and Commercialization activities under the Aquaculture Program; and (vi) establishment and oversight of any subcommittees as it deems appropriate (and within its authority) for carrying out activities under this Agreement. The representatives from each Party to the JSC shall be responsible for reporting to their respective Party and obtaining any necessary delegations, authorizations or approvals required by their respective Party in accordance with Section 2.5.

2.3 General Committee Membership and Procedure.

(a) Membership. For each Committee, each Party shall designate an equal number of representatives (not to exceed three (3) for each Party) with appropriate expertise to serve as members of such Committee. For the JSC, the representatives must all be employees of such Party or an Affiliate of such Party, and for Committees other than the JSC, the representatives must all be employees of such Party or an Affiliate of such Party with the caveat that each Party may designate for each such other Committee up to one (1) representative who is not an employee if: (i) such non-employee representative agrees in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement for the treatment and ownership of Confidential Information and Inventions of the Parties, and (ii) the other Party consents to the designation of such non-employee representative, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. For purposes of this Section 2.3, employees of Third Security may, at Intrexon’s election, serve as members of a Committee as if they were employees of Intrexon. Each representative as qualified above may serve on more than one (1) Committee as appropriate in view of the individual’s expertise. Each Party may replace its Committee representatives at any time upon written notice to the other Party. Each Committee shall have a chairperson; the chairperson of each committee shall serve for a two-year term and the right to designate which representative to the Committee will act as chairperson shall alternate between the Parties, with AquaBounty selecting the chairperson first

for the JSC, and Intrexon selecting the chairperson first for the IPC. The chairperson of each Committee shall be responsible for calling meetings, preparing and circulating an agenda in advance of each meeting of such Committee, and preparing and issuing minutes of each meeting within fifteen (15) days thereafter.

(b) Meetings. Each Committee shall hold meetings at such times as it elects to do so, but in no event shall such meetings be held less frequently than once every six (6) months. Meetings of any Committee may be held in person or by means of telecommunication (telephone, video, or web conferences). To the extent that a Committee holds any meetings in person, the Parties will alternate in designating the location for such in-person meetings, with AquaBounty selecting the first meeting location for each Committee. A reasonable number of additional representatives of a Party may attend meetings of a Committee in a non-voting capacity. Each Party shall be responsible for all of its own expenses of participating in any Committee excepting that an Intrexon employee or agent serving on a Committee shall not prevent Intrexon from recouping the Fully Loaded Costs otherwise derived from the labor of that employee or agent in the course of providing manufacturing or support services as set forth in Sections 4.5 and 4.6 below.

(c) Meeting Agendas. Each Party will disclose to the other proposed agenda items along with appropriate information at least three (3) business days in advance of each meeting of the applicable Committee; provided, that a Party may provide its agenda items to the other Party within a lesser period of time in advance of the meeting, or may propose that there not be a specific agenda for a particular meeting, so long as such other Party consents to such later addition of such agenda items or the absence of a specific agenda for such Committee meeting.

(d) Limitations of Committee Powers. Each Committee shall have only such powers as are specifically delegated to it hereunder or from time to time as agreed to in writing by the mutual consent of the Parties and shall not be a substitute for the rights of the Parties. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no Committee shall have any power to amend this Agreement. Any amendment to the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall be implemented pursuant to Section 12.7 below. Additionally, no member of any Committee shall be able to vote in such Committee and thereby bind its respective Party on any material matter accept as otherwise properly authorized, approved, or delegated by such Party in accordance with Section 2.5.

2.4 Committee Decision-Making. If a Committee is unable to reach unanimous consent on a particular matter within thirty (30) days of its initial consideration of such matter, then either Party may provide written notice of such dispute to the Executive Officer of the other Party. The Executive Officers of each of the Parties will meet at least once in person or by means of telecommunication (telephone, video, or web conferences) to discuss the dispute and use their good faith efforts to resolve the dispute within thirty (30) days after submission of such dispute to the Executive Officers. If any such dispute is not resolved by the Executive Officers within thirty (30) days after submission of such dispute to such Executive Officers, then the Executive Officer of the Party specified in the applicable subsection below shall have the authority to finally resolve such dispute acting in good faith.

(a) Casting Vote at JSC. If a dispute at the JSC is not resolved pursuant to Section 2.4 above, then the Executive Officer of AquaBounty shall have the authority to finally resolve such dispute.

(b) Casting Vote at IPC. If a dispute at the IPC is not resolved pursuant to Section 2.4 above, then the Executive Officer of Intrexon shall have the authority to finally resolve such dispute, provided that such authority shall be shared by the Parties with respect to Product-Specific Program Patents (i.e., neither Party shall have the casting vote on such matters, and any such disputes shall be resolved pursuant to Article 11).

(c) Other Committees. If any additional Committee or subcommittee other than those set forth in Section 2.2(b) is formed, then the Parties shall, at the time of such formation, agree on which Party shall have the authority to finally resolve a dispute that is not resolved pursuant to Section 2.4 above.

(d) Restrictions. Neither Party shall exercise its right to finally resolve a dispute at a Committee in accordance with this Section 2.4 in a manner that (i) excuses such Party from any of its obligations specifically enumerated under this Agreement; (ii) expands the obligations of the other Party under this Agreement; (iii) negates any consent rights or other rights specifically allocated to the other Party under this Agreement; (iv) purports to resolve any dispute involving the breach or alleged breach of this Agreement; (v) resolves a matter if the provisions of this Agreement specify that mutual agreement is required for such matter; or (vi) would require the other Party to perform any act that is inconsistent with applicable law.

2.5 Authorization of Committee Representatives. Each Committee representative shall be able to bind his or her respective appointing Party via any Committee vote or other material Committee activity only to the extent such vote or other activity (a) has been previously approved by the Party, (b) is within the authority duly delegated to the representative by the respective Party, or (c) is otherwise authorized by its respective Party as may be required by that Party’s corporate charter or bylaws, or by its board of directors. Any action or vote taken by a Party’s representative at any Committee without valid authority shall be considered null and void and shall be without effect unless subsequently and expressly approved by the Party appointing the representative on the Committee.

In the event that Intrexon consents to any such grant or transfer to an Affiliate, AquaBounty shall remain responsible for, and be guarantor of, the performance by any such Affiliate and shall cause such Affiliate to comply with the provisions of this Agreement in connection with such performance (as though such Affiliate were AquaBounty), including any payment obligations owed to Intrexon hereunder.

(c) AquaBounty may grant a sublicense of the rights granted under Section 3.1 (and not including a right to sublicense under this Section 3.1(c)) to a Third Party licensee of any AquaBounty Product (a “Product Sublicensee”) to the extent necessary to permit such Third Party to research, develop, use, import, export, make, have made, sell, and offer for sale that AquaBounty Product (a “Product Sublicense”), provided that (i) such Product Sublicense is expressly limited to the appropriate AquaBounty Product, (ii) such Product Sublicense does not grant the Product Sublicensee any rights to Intrexon IP other than as incorporated into the AquaBounty Product at the time of the Product Sublicense, (iii) such Product Sublicense does not purport to relieve AquaBounty of any of its obligations under this Agreement, (iv) the Product Sublicensee agrees in writing, in a document in form reasonably acceptable to Intrexon and to which Intrexon is an express third party beneficiary, to abide by the following provisions of this Agreement: Sections 3.1, 3.3 through 3.6, 3.8, 3.10, and 3.11 and Articles 6, 7, and 10), and (v) the Product Sublicense is presented in full to the JSC by AquaBounty before execution by AquaBounty and the prospective Product Sublicensee and as soon as is reasonably practical for the purpose of allowing the JSC to review and comment upon the terms and scope of the Product Sublicense agreement before execution.

3.3 Limitation on Sublicensees. None of the enforcement rights under the Intrexon Patents that are granted to AquaBounty pursuant to Section 6.3 shall be transferred to, or exercised by, a sublicensee except with Intrexon’s prior written consent, which may be withheld in Intrexon’s sole discretion.

3.4 No Non-Permitted Use. AquaBounty hereby covenants that it shall not, nor shall it permit any Affiliate or, if applicable, (sub)licensee, to use or practice, directly or indirectly, any Intrexon IP, Intrexon Channel Technology, or Intrexon Materials for any purposes other than those expressly permitted by this Agreement.

3.5 Exclusivity. Neither Intrexon nor its Affiliates shall make the Intrexon Channel Technology or Intrexon Materials available to any Third Party for the purpose of developing or Commercializing products in the Field (except as set forth in Section 3.2), and neither Intrexon nor any Affiliate shall pursue (either by itself or with a Third Party or Affiliate) the research,

development or Commercialization of any product for purpose of commercial use or sale in the Field, outside of the Aquaculture Program. Further, neither AquaBounty nor its Affiliates shall pursue (either by itself or with a Third Party or Affiliate) outside of the Aquaculture Program the research, development or Commercialization of any genetically modified product for purpose of commercial use or sale in the Field where such genetically modified products would compete with AquaBounty Products.

3.6 No Prohibition on Intrexon. Except as explicitly set forth in Sections 3.1 and 3.5, nothing in this Agreement shall prevent Intrexon from practicing or using the Intrexon Materials, Intrexon Channel Technology, and Intrexon IP for any purpose, and to grant to Third Parties the right to do the same. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, AquaBounty acknowledges that Intrexon has all rights, in Intrexon’s sole discretion, to make the Intrexon Materials, Intrexon Channel Technology (including any genetic materials used in an AquaBounty Product), and Intrexon IP available to Third Party channel partners or collaborators for use in fields outside the Field.

3.7 Rights to Regulatory Data. AquaBounty shall own and control all regulatory trial data and regulatory filings relating to Commercialization of AquaBounty Products (except to the extent such become Reverted Products). AquaBounty shall provide (or shall cause an applicable Product Sublicensee to provide) to Intrexon, upon its request, access to review all trial data and reports, regulatory filings, and communications from regulatory authorities that relate specifically and solely to AquaBounty Products. To the extent that there exist any trial data and reports, regulatory filings, and communications from regulatory authorities owned by AquaBounty (or a Product Sublicensee) that relate both to AquaBounty Products and other products produced by AquaBounty (or a Product Sublicensee) outside the Field or outside the Aquaculture Program, upon Intrexon’s request, AquaBounty shall provide (or shall cause an applicable Product Sublicensee to provide) to Intrexon access to review the portions of such data, reports, filings, and communications that relate to AquaBounty Products. Subject to its ongoing obligations of exclusivity under Section 3.5, Intrexon shall be permitted, directly or in conjunction with or through partners or other channel collaborators, to reference these data, reports, filings, and communications relating to AquaBounty Products in regulatory filings made to obtain regulatory approval for products for use in fields outside the Field. Intrexon shall have the right to use any such information in developing and Commercializing products outside the Field and to license any Third Parties to do so. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 3.7, Intrexon shall not, outside of the Aquaculture Program, utilize knowingly any AquaBounty trial data or reports in support of obtaining regulatory approval for a product for use in the Field.

3.8 Third Party Licenses.

(a) [*****] shall obtain [*****] any licenses from Third Parties that are required in order to practice the Intrexon Channel Technology in the Field where the licensed intellectual property is reasonably necessary for Intrexon to conduct genetic and cell engineering and related analytic activities under JSC-approved project plans for the Aquaculture Program (but specifically excluding intellectual property directed to any specific target genes, genetic transformation methodologies, or processes or methods for harvesting, culturing, formulating, or otherwise manufacturing AquaBounty Products) (“Supplemental In-Licensed Third Party

IP”). Other than with respect to Supplemental In-Licensed Third Party IP, [*****] shall be solely responsible for obtaining [*****] any licenses from Third Parties that [*****] determines, in its sole discretion, are required in order to lawfully make, use, sell, offer for sale, or import AquaBounty Products (“Complementary In-Licensed Third Party IP”). Supplemental In-Licensed Third Party IP and Complementary In-Licensed Third Party IP are collectively referred to as “In-Licensed Program IP”.

(b) In the event that either Party desires to license from a Third Party any Supplemental In-Licensed Third Party IP or Complementary In-Licensed Third Party IP, such Party shall so notify the other Party, and the IPC shall discuss such In-Licensed Program IP and its applicability to the AquaBounty Products and to the Field. As provided above in Section 3.8(a), [*****] shall have the sole right and responsibility to pursue a license under Supplemental In-Licensed Third Party IP, and [*****] hereby covenants that it shall not itself directly license such Supplemental In-Licensed Third Party IP at any time, provided that [*****] may (but shall not be obligated to) obtain such a license directly if the Third Party owner or licensee of such Supplemental In-Licensed Third Party IP brings an infringement action against [*****] or its Affiliates or threatens to bring such action (to the extent such threats would reasonably be considered to subject the Third Party owner or licensee to declaratory judgment jurisdiction) and, after written notice to [*****] of such action, [*****] fails to obtain a license to such Supplemental In-Licensed Third Party IP using Diligent Efforts within ninety (90) days after such notice. Following the IPC’s discussion of any Complementary In-Licensed Third Party IP, subject to Section 3.8(c), [*****] shall have the right to pursue a license under Complementary In-Licensed Third Party IP [*****]. [*****] hereby covenants that during the Term it shall not directly license Complementary In-Licensed IP in the Field except in cooperation with [*****] and for the benefit of an AquaBounty Product or the Aquaculture Program. For the avoidance of doubt, [*****] may at any time obtain a license under Complementary In-Licensed Third Party IP outside the Field [*****] provided that if [*****] decides to seek to obtain such a license, it shall use reasonable efforts to coordinate its licensing activities in this regard with [*****].

(c) [*****] shall provide the proposed terms of any license under Complementary In-Licensed Third Party IP and the final version of the definitive license agreement for any Complementary In-Licensed Third Party IP to the IPC for review and discussion prior to signing, and shall consider [*****] comments thereto in good faith. To the extent that [*****] obtains a license under Supplemental In-Licensed Third Party IP, [*****] shall provide the final version of the definitive license agreement for such Supplemental In-Licensed Third Party IP to the IPC. If [*****] acquires rights under any In-Licensed Program IP outside the Field, it will do so on a non-exclusive basis unless it obtains the prior written consent of [*****] for such license outside the Field to be exclusive. Any Party that is pursuing a license to any In-Licensed Program IP with respect to the Field under this Section 3.8 shall keep the other Party reasonably informed of the status of any negotiations relating thereto. For purposes of clarity, (i) any costs incurred by [*****] in obtaining and maintaining licenses to Supplemental In-Licensed Third Party IP shall be borne solely by [*****], and (ii) any costs incurred by [*****] in obtaining and maintaining licenses to Complementary In-Licensed Third Party IP (and, to the limited extent provided in subsection (b), Supplemental In-Licensed Third Party IP) shall be borne solely by [*****] except as set forth in Section 10.4(h).

(d) For any Third Party license under which AquaBounty or its Affiliates obtain a license under Patents claiming inventions or know-how specific to or used or incorporated into the development, manufacture, and/or Commercialization of AquaBounty Products, AquaBounty shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that AquaBounty will have the ability, pursuant to Section 10.4(h), to assign such agreement to Intrexon or grant a sublicense to Intrexon thereunder (having the scope set forth in Section 10.4(h)).

(e) The licenses granted to AquaBounty under Section 3.1 may include sublicenses under Intrexon IP that has been or will be licensed to Intrexon by one or more Third Parties. Any such sublicenses may be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the applicable upstream license agreement, subject to the cost allocation set forth in Section 3.8(c), provided that Intrexon shall either provide unredacted copies of such upstream license agreements to AquaBounty or shall disclose in writing to AquaBounty all of such terms and conditions that are applicable to AquaBounty. AquaBounty shall not be responsible for complying with any provisions of such upstream license agreements unless, and to the extent that, such provisions have been disclosed to AquaBounty as provided in the preceding sentence.

(f) If either Party receives notice from a Third Party concerning activities of a Party taken in conjunction with performance of obligations under this Agreement, which notice alleges infringement by a Party of, or offers license under, Patents or other intellectual property rights owned or controlled by that Third Party, the receiving Party shall inform the other party thereof within five (5) business days.

3.9 Licenses to Intrexon. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, AquaBounty hereby grants to Intrexon a non-exclusive, worldwide, fully-paid, royalty-free license, under any applicable Patents or other intellectual property Controlled by AquaBounty or its Affiliates, solely to the extent necessary for Intrexon to conduct those responsibilities assigned to it under this Agreement, which license shall be sublicensable solely to Intrexon’s Affiliates or to any Intrexon subcontractors as permitted in accordance with Section 4.5 or as otherwise permitted to be used by Intrexon in conjunction with support services under Section 4.6 (subject to JSC research plan approval).

3.10 Restrictions Relating to Intrexon Materials. AquaBounty and its permitted sublicensees shall use the Intrexon Materials solely for purposes of the Aquaculture Program and not for any other purpose without the prior written consent of Intrexon. With respect to the Intrexon Materials comprising Intrexon’s vector assembly technology, AquaBounty shall not, and shall ensure that AquaBounty personnel and permitted sublicensees do not, except as otherwise permitted in this Agreement (a) distribute, sell, lend or otherwise transfer such Intrexon Materials to any Third Party; (b) except as is reasonably necessary for the Commercialization of AquaBounty Products, co-mingle such Intrexon Materials with any other proprietary biological or chemical materials without Intrexon’s written consent; or (c) analyze such Intrexon Materials or in any way attempt to reverse engineer or sequence such Intrexon Materials.

ARTICLE 4

OTHER RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS

4.1 Development and Commercialization. Subject to Sections 4.5 and 4.6, AquaBounty shall be solely responsible for the development and Commercialization of AquaBounty Products. AquaBounty shall be responsible for all costs incurred in connection with the Aquaculture Program except that Intrexon shall be responsible for the following: (a) costs of establishing manufacturing capabilities and facilities in connection with Intrexon’s manufacturing obligation under Section 4.5 (provided, however, that Intrexon may include an allocable portion of such costs, through depreciation and amortization, when calculating the Fully Loaded Cost of manufacturing an AquaBounty Product, to the extent such allocation, depreciation, and amortization is permitted by US GAAP, it being recognized that the majority of non-facilities scale-up costs cannot be capitalized and amortized under US GAAP); (b) costs of basic research with respect to the Intrexon Channel Technology (i.e., improvements to Intrexon’s synthetic biology platforms) but, for clarity, excluding research described in Section 4.6 or research requested by AquaBounty for the development of an AquaBounty Product (which research costs shall be reimbursed by AquaBounty); (c) [*****]; and (d) costs of filing, prosecution and maintenance of Intrexon Patents. The costs encompassed within clause (a) of the previous sentence shall include the scale-up of Intrexon Materials for generating data for regulatory approval submissions and Commercialization of AquaBounty Products undertaken pursuant to Section 4.5, which shall be at Intrexon’s cost whether it elects to conduct such efforts internally or through Third Party contractors retained by either Intrexon or AquaBounty (with Intrexon’s consent).

4.2 Information and Reporting. AquaBounty will keep Intrexon informed about AquaBounty’s efforts to develop and Commercialize AquaBounty Products, including reasonable and accurate summaries of AquaBounty’s (and its Affiliates’ and, if applicable, (sub)licensees’) development plans (as updated), including regulatory plans, marketing plans (as updated), progress towards meeting the goals and milestones in such plans and explanations of any material deviations, significant developments in the development and/or Commercialization of the AquaBounty Products, including initiation or completion of a regulatory trial, submission of a United States or international regulatory filing, receipt of a response to such United States or international regulatory filing, product safety event, receipt of Regulatory Approval, or commercial launch, and manufacturing costs and pricing information. As set forth in Section 3.7 above, AquaBounty shall also provide Intrexon access to all final regulatory trial protocols and reports, and regulatory correspondence and filings generated by AquaBounty as soon as practical after they become available. Intrexon will keep AquaBounty informed about Intrexon’s efforts (a) to establish manufacturing capabilities and facilities for AquaBounty Products (and Intrexon Materials relevant thereto) and (b) to undertake discovery-stage research for the Aquaculture Program with respect to the Intrexon Channel Technology and Intrexon Materials. Unless otherwise provided herein or directed by the JSC in accordance with Section 4.2 above, such disclosures by AquaBounty and Intrexon will be coordinated by the JSC and made in connection with JSC meetings at least once every six (6) months while AquaBounty Products are being developed or Commercialized anywhere in the world, and shall be reflected in the minutes of such meetings.

4.3 Regulatory Matters. At all times after the Effective Date, AquaBounty shall own and maintain, at its own cost, all regulatory filings and regulatory approvals for AquaBounty Products that AquaBounty is developing or Commercializing pursuant to this Agreement. As such, AquaBounty shall be responsible for reporting all adverse events related to such AquaBounty Products to the appropriate regulatory authorities in the relevant countries, in accordance with the applicable laws and regulations of such countries. To the extent that Intrexon will itself develop, or in collaboration with other third parties develop, Intrexon Materials outside of the Field, Intrexon may request that AquaBounty and Intrexon enter into a separate safety data exchange agreement governing the timely exchange of safety information generated by AquaBounty, Intrexon, and relevant third parties with respect to specific Intrexon Materials.

4.4 Diligence.

(a) AquaBounty shall use, and shall require its sublicensees to use, Diligent Efforts to develop and Commercialize AquaBounty Products. Intrexon shall use, and shall require its sublicensees to use, Diligent Efforts in conducting any activities undertaken by Intrexon in support of any JSC-approved research plan for the Aquaculture Program.

(b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Intrexon may, from time to time, notify AquaBounty that it believes it has identified a Superior Animal Product, and in such case Intrexon shall provide to AquaBounty its then-available information about such animal product and reasonable written support for its conclusion that the animal product constitutes a Superior Animal Product. AquaBounty shall have the following obligations with respect to such proposed Superior Animal Product: (i) within sixty (60) days after such notification, AquaBounty, in conjunction with the members of the JSC, shall prepare and deliver to the JSC for review and approval a development plan detailing how AquaBounty will pursue the Superior Animal Product (including a proposed budget); (ii) AquaBounty shall revise the development plan as directed by the JSC; and (iii) following approval of the development plan by the JSC, AquaBounty shall use Diligent Efforts to pursue the development of the Superior Animal Product under the Aquaculture Program in accordance with such development plan. If AquaBounty fails to comply with the foregoing obligations, or if AquaBounty unreasonably exercises its casting vote at the JSC to either (x) prevent the approval of a development plan for a Superior Animal Product; (y) delay such approval more than sixty (60) days after delivery of the development plan to the JSC; or (z) approve a development plan that is insufficient in view of the nature and magnitude of the opportunity presented by the Superior Animal Product, then Intrexon shall have the termination right set forth in Section 10.2(b) (subject to the limitation set forth therein). For clarity, any dispute arising under this 4.4, including any dispute as to whether a proposed project constitutes a Superior Animal Product (as with any other dispute under this Agreement) shall be subject to dispute resolution in accordance with Article 11.

(c) The activities of AquaBounty’s Affiliates and any permitted sublicensees shall be attributed to AquaBounty for the purposes of evaluating AquaBounty’s fulfillment of the obligations set forth in this Section 4.4, and the activities of Intrexon’s Affiliates and any permitted sublicensees shall be attributed to Intrexon for the purposes of evaluating Intrexon’s fulfillment of the obligations set forth in this Section 4.4.

4.5 Manufacturing. Intrexon shall have the option and, in the event it so elects, shall use Diligent Efforts, to perform any manufacturing activities in connection with the Aquaculture Program that relate to the Intrexon Materials, including through the use of a suitable Third Party contract manufacturer. To the extent that Intrexon so elects, Intrexon may request that AquaBounty and Intrexon establish and execute a separate manufacturing and supply agreement, which agreement will establish and govern the production, quality assurance, and regulatory activities associated with manufacture of Intrexon Materials. Except as provided in Section 4.1, any manufacturing undertaken by Intrexon pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be performed in exchange for cash payments equal to Intrexon’s Fully Loaded Cost in connection with such manufacturing, on terms to be negotiated by the Parties in good faith. In the event that Intrexon does not manufacture Intrexon Materials or bulk quantities of other components of AquaBounty Products, then Intrexon shall provide to AquaBounty or a contract manufacturer selected by AquaBounty and approved by Intrexon (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld) all Information Controlled by Intrexon that is (a) related to the manufacturing of such Intrexon Materials or bulk qualities of other components of AquaBounty Products for use in the Field and (b) reasonably necessary to enable AquaBounty or such contract manufacturer (as appropriate) for the sole purpose of manufacturing such Intrexon Materials or bulk quantities of other components of AquaBounty Products. The costs and expenses incurred by Intrexon in carrying out such transfer shall be borne by Intrexon. Any manufacturing Information transferred hereunder to AquaBounty or its contract manufacturer shall not be further transferred to any Third Party, including any Product Sublicensee, or any AquaBounty Affiliate without the prior written consent of Intrexon; provided, however, that Intrexon shall not unreasonably withhold such consent if necessary to permit AquaBounty to switch manufacturers.

4.6 Support Services. Subject to Section 2.4, the JSC will meet promptly following the Effective Date and establish a plan under which Intrexon will provide support services to AquaBounty for the research and development of AquaBounty Products under the Aquaculture Program, which initial plan may be amended from time to time by the JSC. AquaBounty will compensate Intrexon for such support services with cash payments equal to Intrexon’s Fully Loaded Cost in connection with such services. Additionally, from time to time, on an ongoing basis, AquaBounty may request, or Intrexon may propose, that Intrexon perform certain additional support services with respect to researching and developing new AquaBounty Products or improving the manufacturing or processing methods for any existing AquaBounty Products. To the extent that the Parties mutually agree that Intrexon should perform such additional services, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith the terms under which services would be performed, it being understood that Intrexon would be compensated for such services by cash payments equal to Intrexon’s Fully Loaded Cost in connection with such services.

4.7 Compliance with Law. Each Party shall comply, and shall ensure that its Affiliates, (sub)licensees and Third Party contractors comply, with all applicable laws, regulations, and guidelines applicable to the Aquaculture Program, including without limitation those relating to the transport, storage, and handling of Intrexon Materials and AquaBounty Products.

4.8 Trademarks and Patent Marking. To the extent permitted by applicable law and regulations, AquaBounty shall ensure that the packaging, promotional materials, and

labeling for AquaBounty Products, as appropriate, shall carry, in a conspicuous location, the applicable Intrexon Trademark(s), subject to AquaBounty’s reasonable approval of the size, position, and location thereof. Consistent with the U.S. patent laws, AquaBounty shall ensure that AquaBounty Products, or their respective packaging or accompanying literature, as appropriate, bear applicable and appropriate patent markings for Intrexon Patent numbers. AquaBounty shall provide Intrexon with copies of any materials containing the Intrexon Trademarks or patent markings prior to using or disseminating such materials in order to obtain Intrexon’s approval thereof. AquaBounty’s use of the Intrexon Trademarks and patent markings shall be subject to prior review and approval of the IPC. AquaBounty acknowledges Intrexon’s sole ownership of the Intrexon Trademarks and agrees not to take any action inconsistent with such ownership. AquaBounty covenants that it shall not use any trademark confusingly similar to any Intrexon Trademarks in connection with any products (including any AquaBounty Product). From time to time during the Term, Intrexon shall have the right to obtain from AquaBounty samples of AquaBounty Product sold by AquaBounty or its Affiliates or sublicensees, or other items which reflect public uses of the Intrexon Trademarks or patent markings, for the purpose of inspecting the quality of such AquaBounty Products, the use of the Intrexon Trademarks, or the accuracy of the patent markings. In the event that Intrexon inspects under this Section 4.8, Intrexon shall notify the result of such inspection to AquaBounty in writing thereafter. AquaBounty shall comply with commercially reasonable policies provided by Intrexon from time-to-time to maintain the goodwill and value of the Intrexon Trademarks.

5.4 Audits.

(a) Upon no less than thirty (30) days’ prior written request from Intrexon, AquaBounty shall permit an independent certified public accounting firm of internationally recognized standing selected by Intrexon, and reasonably acceptable to AquaBounty, to have access to and to review, during normal business hours and upon no less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice, the applicable records of AquaBounty and, if applicable, its Affiliates to verify the accuracy and timeliness of the reports and payments made by AquaBounty under this Agreement. Such review may cover the records for sales made in any calendar year ending not more than three (3) years prior to the date of such request, provided that such records for any given year are not subject to re-review in a subsequent audit for the same AquaBounty Product. The accounting firm shall disclose to both Parties whether the royalty reports and/or know-how reports conform to the provisions of this Agreement and/or US GAAP, as applicable, and the specific details concerning any discrepancies. Such audit may not be conducted more than once in any calendar year.

(b) If such accounting firm concludes that additional amounts were owed during such period, AquaBounty shall pay additional amounts, with interest from the date originally due as set forth in Section 5.6, within thirty (30) days of receipt of the accounting firm’s written report. If the amount of the underpayment is greater than five percent (5%) of the total amount actually owed for the period audited, then AquaBounty shall in addition reimburse Intrexon for all costs related to such audit; otherwise, Intrexon shall pay all costs of the audit. In the event of overpayment, any amount of such overpayment shall be fully creditable against amounts payable for the immediately succeeding calendar quarter(s).

(c) Intrexon shall (i) treat all information that it receives under this Section 5.4 in accordance with the confidentiality provisions of Article 7 and (ii) cause its accounting firm to enter into a confidentiality agreement with and acceptable to AquaBounty, such confidentiality agreement obligating such firm to retain all such financial information in confidence pursuant to such confidentiality agreement, in each case except to the extent necessary for Intrexon to enforce its rights under this Agreement.

5.5 Taxes. The Parties will cooperate in good faith to obtain the benefit of any relevant tax treaties to minimize as far as reasonably possible any taxes which may be levied on any amounts payable hereunder. AquaBounty shall deduct or withhold from any payments any taxes that it is required by applicable law to deduct or withhold. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Intrexon is entitled under any applicable tax treaty to a reduction of the rate of, or the elimination of, applicable withholding tax, it may deliver to AquaBounty or the appropriate governmental authority (with the assistance of AquaBounty to the extent that this is reasonably required and is expressly requested in writing) the prescribed forms necessary to reduce the applicable rate of withholding or to relieve AquaBounty of its obligation to withhold tax, and AquaBounty shall apply the reduced rate of withholding tax, or dispense with withholding tax, as the case may be, provided that AquaBounty has received evidence of Intrexon’s delivery of all applicable forms (and, if necessary, its receipt of appropriate governmental authorization) at least fifteen (15) days prior to the time that the payment is due. If, in accordance with the foregoing, AquaBounty withholds any amount, (a) it shall make timely payment to the proper taxing authority of the withheld amount, and send to Intrexon proof of such payment within forty-five (45) days following that latter payment, and (b) Intrexon agrees to indemnify and hold harmless AquaBounty from and against any loss, damage, liability, penalty or expense, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, which AquaBounty may incur by reason of, or in connection with, any failure to withhold or make payment based upon the instruction of Intrexon.

5.6 Late Payments. Any amount owed by AquaBounty to Intrexon under this Agreement that is not paid within the applicable time period set forth herein shall accrue interest at the lower of (a) two percent (2%) per month, compounded, or (b) the highest rate permitted under applicable law.

At the reasonable request of Intrexon, AquaBounty shall cooperate with Intrexon in connection with such filing, prosecution, and maintenance, at

Intrexon’s expense. Under no circumstances shall AquaBounty (A) file, attempt to file, or assist anyone else in filing, or attempting to file, any Patent application, either in the United States or elsewhere, that claims or uses or purports to claim or use or relies for support upon an Invention owned by Intrexon, (B) use, attempt to use, or assist anyone else in using or attempting to use, the Intrexon Know-How, Intrexon Materials, or any Confidential Information of Intrexon to support the filing of a Patent application, either in the United States or elsewhere, that contains claims directed to the Intrexon IP, Intrexon Materials, or the Intrexon Channel Technology, or (C) without prior approval of the IPC, file, attempt to file, or assist anyone else in filing, or attempting to file, any application for patent term extension or supplementary protection certificate, either in the United States or elsewhere, that relies upon the regulatory approval of an AquaBounty Product.

(b) AquaBounty shall have the sole right, but not the obligation, to conduct and control the filing, prosecution and maintenance of any Patents claiming Inventions that are owned by AquaBounty or its Affiliates and not assigned to Intrexon under Section 6.1(c) (“AquaBounty Program Patents”). At the reasonable request of AquaBounty, Intrexon shall cooperate with AquaBounty in connection with such filing, prosecution, and maintenance, at AquaBounty’s expense. Under no circumstances shall Intrexon (i) file, attempt to file, or assist anyone else in filing, or attempting to file, any Patent application, either in the United States or elsewhere, that claims or uses or purports to claim an Invention owned by AquaBounty, or (ii) without prior approval of the IPC, file, attempt to file, or assist anyone else in filing, or attempting to file, any application for patent term extension or supplementary protection certificate, either in the United States or elsewhere, that relies upon the regulatory approval of an AquaBounty Product.

(c) As used in this Section, “Prosecuting Party” means Intrexon in the case of Intrexon Patents and AquaBounty in the case of AquaBounty Program Patents. The Prosecuting Party shall be entitled to use patent counsel selected by it and reasonably acceptable to the non-Prosecuting Party (including in-house patent counsel as well as outside patent counsel) for the prosecution of the Intrexon Patents and AquaBounty Program Patents, as applicable. The Prosecuting Party shall:

(i) regularly provide the other Party in advance with reasonable information relating to the Prosecuting Party’s prosecution of Patents hereunder, including by providing copies of substantive communications, notices and actions submitted to or received from the relevant patent authorities and copies of drafts of filings and correspondence that the Prosecuting Party proposes to submit to such patent authorities (it being understood that, to the extent that any such information is readily accessible to the public, the Prosecuting Party may, in lieu of directly providing copies of such information to such other Party, provide such other Party with sufficient information that will permit such other Party to access such information itself directly);

(ii) consider in good faith and consult with the non-Prosecuting Party regarding its timely comments with respect to the same; provided, however, that if, within fifteen (15) days after providing any documents to the non-Prosecuting Party for comment, the Prosecuting Party does not receive any written communication from the non-Prosecuting Party indicating that it has or may have comments on such document, the Prosecuting Party shall be entitled to assume that the non-Prosecuting Party has no comments thereon;

(iii) consult with the non-Prosecuting Party before taking any action that would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse impact on the scope of claims within the Intrexon Patents and AquaBounty Program Patents, as applicable.

(d) If, for an Invention that (i) comprises Channel-Related Program IP, and (ii) covers an AquaBounty Product in development or Commercialization, Intrexon determines in its discretion to refrain from filing a patent application on such Invention or to abandon (without re-filing) or to discontinue prosecution of (without re-filing) or maintenance of any Intrexon Patent claiming such Invention, Intrexon shall notify AquaBounty in writing, at least thirty (30) days prior to the final, non-extendable date by which any action must be taken to preserve such patent application or Patent, of Intrexon’s determination so as to provide AquaBounty with an opportunity to assume responsibility for such filing, prosecution, or maintenance. If AquaBounty elects to assume, at its sole discretion and expense, such responsibility, AquaBounty shall notify Intrexon in writing to that effect and Intrexon shall cooperate with AquaBounty to effect a smooth transfer of such responsibilities to AquaBounty. Such transfer of responsibility shall not otherwise modify the rights, license and obligations of the Parties hereunder.

6.3 Infringement of Patents by Third Parties.

(a) Except as expressly provided in the remainder of this Section 6.3, Intrexon shall have the sole right to take appropriate action against any person or entity directly or indirectly infringing any Intrexon Patent (or asserting that an Intrexon Patent is invalid or unenforceable) (collectively, “Infringement”), either by settlement or lawsuit or other appropriate action.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, AquaBounty shall have the first right, but not the obligation, to take appropriate action to enforce Product-Specific Program Patents against any Infringement that involves a commercially material amount of allegedly infringing activities in the Field (“Field Infringement”), either by settlement or lawsuit or other appropriate action. If AquaBounty exercises the foregoing right, Intrexon agrees to be named in any such action if required. If AquaBounty fails to take the appropriate steps to enforce Product-Specific Program Patents against any Field Infringement within one hundred eighty (180) days of the date one Party has provided notice to the other Party pursuant to Section 6.3(g) of such Field Infringement, then Intrexon shall have the right (but not the obligation), at its own expense, to enforce Product-Specific Program Patents against such Field Infringement, either by settlement or lawsuit or other appropriate action.

(c) With respect to any Field Infringement that cannot reasonably be abated through the enforcement of Product-Specific Program Patents pursuant to Section 6.3(b) but can reasonably be abated through the enforcement of Intrexon Patent(s) (other than the Product-Specific Program Patents), Intrexon shall be obligated to choose one of the following courses of action: (i) enforce one or more of the applicable Intrexon Patent(s) in a commercially reasonable manner against such Field Infringement, or (ii) [*****]. To the extent AquaBounty shall be

entitled to a share of the Recovery as set forth in Section 6.3(f), Intrexon and AquaBounty shall bear the costs and expenses of such enforcement equally. The determination of which Intrexon Patent(s) to assert shall be made by Intrexon in its sole discretion after consulting in good faith with AquaBounty on such determination. For the avoidance of doubt, Intrexon has no obligations under this Agreement to enforce any Intrexon Patents against, or otherwise xxxxx, any Infringement that is not a Field Infringement.

(d) In the event a Party pursues an action under this Section 6.3, the other Party shall reasonably cooperate with the enforcing Party with respect to the investigation and prosecution of any alleged, threatened, or actual Infringement, at the enforcing Party’s expense (except with respect to an action under Section 6.3(c), where all costs and expenses will be shared equally in accordance with terms thereof).

(e) AquaBounty shall not settle or otherwise compromise any action under this Section 6.3 in a way that diminishes the rights or interests of Intrexon outside the Field or adversely affects any Intrexon Patent without Intrexon’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Intrexon shall not settle or otherwise compromise any action under this Section 6.3 in a way that diminishes the rights or interests of AquaBounty in the Field or adversely affects any Intrexon Patent with respect to the Field without AquaBounty’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

(f) Except as otherwise agreed to by the Parties in writing, any settlements, damages or other monetary awards recovered pursuant to a suit, proceeding, or action brought pursuant to Section 6.3 will be allocated first to the costs and expenses of the Party controlling such action, and second, to the costs and expenses (if any) of the other Party (to the extent not otherwise reimbursed), and any remaining amounts (the “Recovery”) will be shared by the Parties as follows: In any action initiated by Intrexon pursuant to Section 6.3(a) that does not involve Field Infringement, or in any action initiated by Intrexon pursuant to Section 6.3(b), Intrexon shall retain one hundred percent (100%) of any Recovery. In any action initiated by AquaBounty pursuant to Section 6.3(b), AquaBounty shall retain one hundred percent (100%) of any Recovery, but such Recovery shall be shared with Intrexon as Sublicensing Revenue. In any action initiated by Intrexon or AquaBounty pursuant to Section 6.3(c), the Parties shall share the Recovery equally, and such Recovery shall not be deemed to constitute Sublicensing Revenue.

(g) AquaBounty shall promptly notify Intrexon in writing of any suspected, alleged, threatened, or actual Infringement of which it becomes aware, and Intrexon shall promptly notify AquaBounty in writing of any suspected, alleged, threatened, or actual Field Infringement of which it becomes aware.

ARTICLE 7

7.1 Confidentiality. Except to the extent expressly authorized by this Agreement or otherwise agreed in writing by the Parties, each Party agrees that it shall keep confidential and shall not publish or otherwise disclose and shall not use for any purpose other than as provided for in this Agreement any Confidential Information disclosed to it by the other Party pursuant to this Agreement, except to the extent that the receiving Party can demonstrate by competent evidence that specific Confidential Information:

(e) was independently discovered or developed by the receiving Party without the use of Confidential Information belonging to the disclosing Party, as documented by the receiving Party’s written records.

The foregoing non-use and non-disclosure obligation shall continue (i) indefinitely, for all Confidential Information that qualifies as a trade secret under applicable law; or (ii) for the Term of this Agreement and for seven (7) years thereafter, in all other cases.

7.2 Authorized Disclosure. Notwithstanding the limitations in this Article 7, either Party may disclose the Confidential Information belonging to the other Party to the extent such disclosure is reasonably necessary in the following instances:

(a) complying with applicable laws or regulations or valid court orders, provided that the Party making such disclosure provides the other Party with reasonable prior written notice of such request or demand for disclosure and makes a reasonable effort to obtain, or to assist the other Party in obtaining, a protective order preventing or limiting the disclosure and/or requiring that the terms and conditions of this Agreement be used only for the purposes for which the law or regulation required, or for which the order was issued;

(b) to regulatory authorities in order to seek or obtain approval to conduct regulatory trials, or to gain regulatory approval, of AquaBounty Products or any products being developed by Intrexon or its other licensees and/or channel partners or collaborators, provided that the Party making such disclosure (i) provides the other Party with reasonable opportunity to review any such disclosure in advance and to suggest redactions or other means of limiting the disclosure of such other Party’s Confidential Information and (ii) does not unreasonably reject any such suggestions;

(c) disclosure to investors and potential investors, acquirers, or merger candidates who agree to maintain the confidentiality of such information, provided that such disclosure is used solely for the purpose of evaluating such investment, acquisition, or merger (as the case may be);

(d) disclosure on a need-to-know basis to Affiliates, licensees, sublicensees, employees, consultants, advisors, or agents (such as CROs) who agree to be bound by obligations of confidentiality and non-use at least equivalent in scope to those set forth in this Article 7; and

(e) disclosure of the terms of this Agreement by a Party to collaborators and other channel partners or collaborators who agree to be bound by obligations of confidentiality and non-use at least equivalent in scope to those set forth in this Article 7.

7.3 Publicity; Publications. The Parties agree that the public announcement of the execution of this Agreement shall be substantially in the form of a press release and/or the filing of a Form 8-K by AquaBounty, which shall be mutually agreed to by the Parties. Each Party will provide the other Party with the opportunity to review and comment, prior to submission or presentation, on external reports, publications and presentations (e.g., press releases, reports to government agencies, abstracts, posters, manuscripts and oral presentations) that refer to the Aquaculture Program or programs that are approved by the JSC. For such reports, publications, and presentations, the disclosing Party will provide the other Party at least fifteen (15) calendar days for review of the proposed submission or presentation. In the case of a Form 8-K filing, such shall be provided to Intrexon by AquaBounty as soon as practicable prior to filing. For reports and manuscripts, the disclosing Party will provide the other Party at least thirty (30) days for review of the report or manuscript. The presenting Party will act in good faith to incorporate the comments of the other Party and shall, in any event, redact any Confidential Information of the other Party and cooperate with the other Party to postpone such submissions or presentations if necessary to provide the other Party with sufficient time to prepare and file any related Patent applications before the submission or presentation occurs, as appropriate.

7.4 Terms of the Agreement. Each Party shall treat the terms of this Agreement as the Confidential Information of other Party, subject to the exceptions set forth in Section 7.2. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Party acknowledges that the other Party may be obligated to file a copy of this Agreement with the SEC, either as of the Effective Date or at some point during the Term. Each Party shall be entitled to make such a required filing, provided that it requests confidential treatment of certain commercial terms and sensitive technical terms hereof to the extent such confidential treatment is reasonably available to it. In the event of any such filing, the filing Party shall provide the other Party with a copy of the Agreement marked to show provisions for which the filing Party intends to seek confidential treatment and shall reasonably consider and incorporate the other Party’s comments thereon to the extent consistent with the legal requirements governing redaction of information from material agreements that must be publicly filed. The other Party shall promptly provide any such comments.

7.5 Proprietary Information and Operational Audits.

Within ten (10) business days of AquaBounty’s receipt of any such written request, AquaBounty shall provide the written report to Intrexon.

7.6 Intrexon Commitment. Intrexon shall use reasonable efforts to obtain an agreement with its other licensees and channel partners or collaborators to enable AquaBounty to disclose confidential information of such licensees and channel partners or collaborators to regulatory authorities in order to seek or obtain approval to conduct regulatory trials, or to gain regulatory approval of, AquaBounty Products, in a manner consistent with the provisions of Section 7.2(b).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Intrexon shall not have any obligation to indemnify the AquaBounty Indemnitees to the extent that a Claim arises from (i) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of AquaBounty or any of its Affiliates, licensees, or sublicensees, or their respective employees or agents; or (ii) a breach by AquaBounty of a representation, warranty, covenant, or other material provision of this Agreement.

9.2 Indemnification by AquaBounty. AquaBounty agrees to indemnify, hold harmless, and defend Intrexon, its Affiliates and Third Security, and their respective directors, officers, employees, and agents (and any Third Parties which have licensed to Intrexon intellectual property rights within Intrexon IP on or prior to the Effective Date, to the extent required by the relevant upstream license agreement) (collectively, the “Intrexon Indemnitees”) from and against any Losses resulting from Claims, to the extent arising from any of the following: (a) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of AquaBounty or any of its Affiliates or their respective employees or agents; (b) the use, handling, storage, or transport of Intrexon Materials by or on behalf of AquaBounty or its Affiliates, licensees, or sublicensees; (c) breach by AquaBounty of any material representation, warranty, covenant, or other material provision in this Agreement; or (d) the design, development, manufacture, regulatory approval, handling, storage, transport, distribution, sale or other disposition of any AquaBounty Product by or on behalf of AquaBounty or its Affiliates, licensees, or sublicensees.

If such Claim falls within the scope of the indemnification obligations of this Article 9, then the indemnifying Party shall assume the defense of such Claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified Party, provided that, in the case of a conflict of interest, the indemnified Party may be represented by separate counsel of its choosing at the indemnifying Party’s expense. The indemnified Party shall cooperate with the indemnifying Party in such defense. Except in the case of a conflict as provided above, the indemnified Party may, at its option and expense, be represented by counsel of its choice in any action or proceeding with respect to such Claim. The indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any litigation costs or expenses incurred by the indemnified Party without the indemnifying Party’s written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The indemnifying Party shall not settle any such Claim if such settlement (a) does not fully and unconditionally release the indemnified Party from all liability relating thereto or (b) adversely impacts the exercise of the rights granted to the indemnified Party under this Agreement, unless the indemnified Party otherwise agrees in writing.

9.5 Insurance. Immediately prior to, and during marketing of AquaBounty Products, AquaBounty shall maintain in effect and good standing a product liability insurance policy issued by a reputable insurance company in amounts considered standard for the industry. Immediately prior to, and during the conduct of any regulatory trials, AquaBounty shall maintain in effect and good standing a regulatory trials liability insurance policy issued by a reputable insurance company in amounts considered standard for the industry.

Agreement that such breaching Party fails to cure within sixty (60) days following written notice from the nonbreaching Party specifying such breach. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a breach is capable of being cured, but is not reasonably capable of being cured within the sixty (60) day period above, such cure period shall be extended to such time as needed to cure the breach within a reasonable timeframe thereafter if (i) the breaching Party proposed within such relevant cure period a written notice thereof and plan reasonably acceptable to the non-breaching party to cure the breach and, (ii) the breaching Party uses Diligent Efforts to implement such written cure plan.

10.3 Termination by AquaBounty. AquaBounty shall have the right to voluntarily terminate this Agreement in its entirety upon ninety (90) days’ written notice to Intrexon at any time. Additionally, AquaBounty has the right to terminate this Agreement within those ninety (90) days if it fails to receive equity financing in an amount of at least six million dollars ($6,000,000) from existing or new shareholders, said amount including any amount received by AquaBounty from Intrexon by way of the Subscription Agreement, dated as of even date herewith, by and between AquaBounty and Intrexon, as may be amended from time to time.

10.4 Effect of Termination. In the event of termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.2 or Section 10.3, the following shall apply:

(a) Retained Products. AquaBounty shall be permitted, but not obligated, to continue the development and Commercialization in the Field of any product resulting from the Aquaculture Program that, at the time of termination, satisfies at least one of the following criteria (a “Retained Product”):

(i) the particular product is an AquaBounty Product that is being sold by AquaBounty (or, as may be permitted under this Agreement, its Affiliates and, if applicable, (sub)licensees) triggering profit sharing payments therefor under Section 5.1(a) or (b) of this Agreement,

(ii) the particular product is an AquaBounty Product that has received regulatory approval, or

(iii) the particular product is an AquaBounty Product that is the subject of an application for regulatory approval in the Field, including, but not limited to, a filed application for an Investigational New Animal Drug, that is pending before the applicable regulatory authority.

Such right to continue development and Commercialization shall be subject to AquaBounty’s full compliance with the payment provisions in Article 5, a continuing obligation for AquaBounty to use in accordance with Sections 4.5(a) and 4.5(c) Diligent Efforts to develop and Commercialize any Retained Products, and all other provisions of this Agreement that survive termination.

(b) Termination of Licenses. After the Term, all rights and licenses granted to AquaBounty shall continue only for Retained Products in the Field as permitted by Section 10.4(a), all rights and licenses granted by Intrexon to AquaBounty under this Agreement shall terminate and shall revert to Intrexon without further action by either Intrexon or AquaBounty. AquaBounty’s license with respect to Retained Products shall be exclusive or non-exclusive, as the case may be, on the same terms as set forth in Section 3.1.

(c) Reverted Products. All AquaBounty Products other than the Retained Products shall be referred to herein as the “Reverted Products.” AquaBounty shall immediately cease, and shall cause its Affiliates and, if applicable, (sub)licensees to immediately cease, all development and Commercialization of the Reverted Products, and AquaBounty shall not use or practice, nor shall it cause or permit any of its Affiliates or, if applicable, (sub)licensees to use or practice, directly or indirectly, any Intrexon IP with respect to the Reverted Products. AquaBounty shall immediately discontinue making any representation regarding its status as a licensee or channel collaborator of Intrexon with respect to the Reverted Products.

(d) Intrexon Materials. AquaBounty shall promptly return, or at Intrexon’s request, destroy, any Intrexon Materials in AquaBounty’s possession or control at the time of termination other than any Intrexon Materials necessary for the continued development, regulatory approval, use, manufacture and Commercialization of the Retained Products in the Field.

(e) Licenses to Intrexon. AquaBounty is automatically deemed to grant to Intrexon a worldwide, fully paid, royalty-free (except for any payment due to Third Parties to license AquaBounty Termination IP, as applicable), exclusive (even as to AquaBounty and its Affiliates), irrevocable license (with full rights to sublicense upon AquaBounty’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) under the AquaBounty Termination IP, to make, have made, import, use, offer for sale and sell Reverted Products and to use the Intrexon Channel Technology, the Intrexon Materials, and/or the Intrexon IP in the Field, subject to any exclusive rights held by AquaBounty in Reverted Products pursuant to Section 10.4(c). The Parties shall also take such actions and execute such other instruments and documents as may be reasonably necessary to document such license to Intrexon. For clarity, with respect to Reverted Products, Intrexon shall be responsible for any license payments due to any Third Party under an AquaBounty license with such Third Party for portions of the AquaBounty Termination IP to the extent that such license payments are attributable to such AquaBounty Termination IP being used by or on behalf of Intrexon in the Commercialization of Reverted Products.

(f) Regulatory Filings. AquaBounty shall promptly assign to Intrexon, and will provide full copies of, all regulatory approvals and regulatory filings that relate specifically and solely to Reverted Products. AquaBounty shall also take such actions and execute such other instruments, assignments and documents as may be necessary to effect the transfer of rights thereunder to Intrexon. To the extent that there exist any regulatory approvals and regulatory filings that relate both to Reverted Products and other products, AquaBounty shall provide copies of the portions of such regulatory filings that relate to Reverted Products and shall reasonably cooperate to assist Intrexon in obtaining the benefits of such regulatory approvals with respect to the Reverted Products.

(g) Data Disclosure. AquaBounty shall provide to Intrexon copies of the relevant portions of all material reports and data, including regulatory trial data and reports, obtained or generated by or on behalf of AquaBounty or its Affiliates to the extent that they relate to Reverted Products, within sixty (60) days of such termination unless otherwise agreed, and Intrexon shall have the right to use any such Information in developing and Commercializing Reverted Products and to license any Third Parties to do so.

(h) Third Party Licenses. At Intrexon’s request, AquaBounty shall promptly provide to Intrexon copies of all Third Party agreements under which AquaBounty or its Affiliates obtained a license under Patents claiming inventions or know-how specific to or used or incorporated into the development, manufacture and/or Commercialization of the Reverted Products. At Intrexon’s request such that Intrexon may Commercialize the Reverted Products, AquaBounty shall promptly work with Intrexon to either, as appropriate, (i) assign to Intrexon the Third Party agreement(s), or (ii) grant a sublicense (with an appropriate scope) to Intrexon under the Third Party agreement(s). Thereafter Intrexon shall be fully responsible for all obligations due for its actions under the sublicensed or assigned Third Party agreements. Notwithstanding the above, if Intrexon does not wish to assume any financial or other obligations associated with a particular Third Party agreement identified to Intrexon under this Section 10.4(h), then Intrexon shall so notify AquaBounty and AquaBounty shall not make such assignment or grant such sublicense (or cause it to be made or granted).

(i) Remaining Materials. At the request of Intrexon, AquaBounty shall transfer to Intrexon all quantities of Reverted Product (including final products or work-in-process) in the possession of AquaBounty or its Affiliates. AquaBounty shall transfer to Intrexon all such quantities of Reverted Products without charge, except that Intrexon shall pay the reasonable costs of shipping.

(j) Third Party Vendors. At Intrexon’s request, AquaBounty shall promptly provide to Intrexon copies of all agreements between AquaBounty or its Affiliates and Third Party suppliers, vendors, or distributors that relate to the supply, sale, or distribution of Reverted Products in the Territory. At Intrexon’s request, AquaBounty shall promptly: (i) with respect to such Third Party agreements relating solely to the applicable Reverted Products and permitting assignment without consent of such Third Party, immediately assign (or cause to be assigned), such agreements to Intrexon, and (ii) with respect to all other such Third Party agreements, AquaBounty shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to assist Intrexon in obtaining the benefits of such agreements. AquaBounty shall be liable for any costs associated with assigning a Third Party agreement to Intrexon or otherwise obtaining the benefits of such agreement for

Intrexon, to the extent such costs are directly related to AquaBounty’s breach. For the avoidance of doubt, Intrexon shall have no obligation to assume any of AquaBounty’s obligations under any Third Party agreement.

(k) Commercialization. Intrexon shall have the right to develop and Commercialize the Reverted Products itself or with one or more Third Parties, and shall have the right, without obligation to AquaBounty, to take any such actions in connection with such activities as Intrexon (or its designee), at its discretion, deems appropriate.

(l) Confidential Information. Each Party shall promptly return, or at the other Party’s request destroy, any Confidential Information of the other Party in such Party’s possession or control at the time of termination; provided, however, that each Party shall be permitted to retain (i) a single copy of each item of Confidential Information of the other Party in its confidential legal files for the sole purpose of monitoring and enforcing its compliance with Article 7, (ii) Confidential Information of the other Party that is maintained as archive copies on the recipient Party’s disaster recovery and/or information technology backup systems, or (iii) Confidential Information of the other Party necessary to exercise such Party’s rights in Retained Products (in the case of AquaBounty) or Reverted Products (in the case of Intrexon). The recipient of Confidential Information shall continue to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement with respect to any such Confidential Information retained in accordance with this Section 10.4(l).

10.5 Surviving Obligations. Termination or expiration of this Agreement shall not affect any rights of either Party arising out of any event or occurrence prior to termination, including, without limitation, any obligation of AquaBounty to pay any amount which became due and payable under the terms and conditions of this Agreement prior to expiration or such termination. The following portions of this Agreement shall survive termination or expiration of this Agreement: Sections 3.1 (as applicable with respect to 10.4(b)), 5.2, 5.4, 6.1, 6.2 (with subsection (c) surviving only to the extent relating to Intrexon Patents that are relevant to Retained Products that, to Intrexon’s knowledge, are being developed or Commercialized at such time, if any), 7.1, 7.2, 7.4, 7.5, 10.4, and 10.5; Articles 9, 11, and 12; and any relevant definitions in Article 1. Further, Article 7 and Sections 4.4(a), 4.4(c), 5.1 through 5.5, and 9.4 will survive termination of this Agreement to the extent there are applicable Retained Products.

ARTICLE 11

DISPUTE RESOLUTION

11.1 Disputes. It is the objective of the Parties to establish procedures to facilitate the resolution of disputes arising under this Agreement in an expedient manner by mutual cooperation and without resort to litigation. In the event of any disputes, controversies or differences which may arise between the Parties out of or in relation to or in connection with this Agreement (other than disputes arising from a Committee, except for disputes at the IPC with respect to Product-Specific Program Patents, as provided in Section 2.4(b)), including, without limitation, any alleged failure to perform, or breach, of this Agreement, or any issue relating to the interpretation or application of this Agreement, then upon the request of either Party by written notice, the Parties agree to meet and discuss in good faith a possible resolution thereof,

which good faith efforts shall include at least one in-person meeting between the Executive Officers of each Party. If the matter is not resolved within thirty (30) days following the written request for discussions, either Party may then invoke the provisions of Section 11.2. For the avoidance of doubt, any disputes, controversies or differences arising from a Committee pursuant to Article 2 shall be resolved solely in accordance with Section 2.4.

11.2 Arbitration. Any dispute, controversy, difference or claim which may arise between the Parties and not from a Committee, out of or in relation to or in connection with this Agreement (including, without limitation, arising out of or relating to the validity, construction, interpretation, enforceability, breach, performance, application or termination of this Agreement) that is not resolved pursuant to Section 11.1 shall, subject to Section 11.10, be settled by binding “baseball arbitration” as follows. Either Party, following the end of the thirty (30) day period referenced in Section 11.1, may refer such issue to arbitration by submitting a written notice of such request to the other Party, with the arbitration to be held in the state where the other Party’s principal office is located (or some other place as may be mutually agreed by the Parties). Promptly following receipt of such notice, the Parties shall meet and discuss in good faith and choose one arbitrator from a list of arbitrators provided by the American Arbitration Association in accordance with its Commercial Arbitration Rules (the “AAA Rules”) as being suitable to arbitrate the Parties’ dispute. The Parties agree that the chosen arbitrator shall be neutral and independent of both Parties and all of their respective Affiliates, and shall have significant experience and expertise in licensing and partnering agreements in the biotechnology industry and concerning related intellectual property rights (as appropriate in light of the subject matter of the Parties’ disputed issues), and shall have some experience in mediating or arbitrating issues relating to such agreements and/or related intellectual property rights. The AAA Rules shall govern the arbitration between the Parties, except as set forth in, and to the extent not inconsistent with, this Section 11.2. Within fifteen (15) days after an arbitrator is selected, each Party will deliver to both the arbitrator and the other Party a detailed written proposal setting forth its proposed terms for the resolution for the matter at issue (the “Proposed Terms” of the Party) and a memorandum (the “Support Memorandum”) in support thereof. The Parties will also provide the arbitrator a copy of this Agreement, as it may be amended at such time. Within fifteen (15) days after receipt of the other Party’s Proposed Terms and Support Memorandum, each Party may submit to the arbitrator (with a copy to the other Party) a response to the other Party’s Support Memorandum. Neither Party may have any other communications (either written or oral) with the arbitrator other than for the sole purpose of engaging the arbitrator or as expressly permitted in this Section 11.2; provided that, the arbitrator may convene a hearing if the arbitrator so chooses to ask questions of the Parties and hear oral argument and discussion regarding each Party’s Proposed Terms. Within sixty (60) days after the arbitrator’s appointment, the arbitrator will select one of the two Proposed Terms (without modification) provided by the Parties that he or she believes is most consistent with the intention underlying and agreed principles set forth in this Agreement. The decision of the arbitrator shall be final, binding, and unappealable. For clarity, the arbitrator must select as the only method to resolve the matter at issue one of the two sets of Proposed Terms, and may not combine elements of both Proposed Terms or award any other relief or take any other action.

11.3 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed under the substantive laws of the State of New York, excluding any conflicts or choice of law rule or principle that might otherwise refer construction or interpretation of this Agreement to the substantive law of another jurisdiction.

11.4 Award. Any award to be paid by one Party to the other Party as determined by the arbitrator as set forth above under Section 11.2 shall be promptly paid in United States dollars free of any tax, deduction or offset; and any costs, fees or taxes incident to enforcing the award shall, to the maximum extent permitted by law, be charged against the losing Party. Each Party agrees to abide by the award rendered in any arbitration conducted pursuant to this Article 11, and agrees that, subject to the United States Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16, judgment may be entered upon the final award in any United States District Court located in New York and that other courts may award full faith and credit to such judgment in order to enforce such award. The award shall include interest from the date of any damages incurred for breach of the Agreement, and from the date of the award until paid in full, at a rate fixed by the arbitrator. With respect to money damages, nothing contained herein shall be construed to permit the arbitrator or any court or any other forum to award consequential, incidental, special, punitive or exemplary damages. By entering into this agreement to arbitrate, the Parties expressly waive any claim for consequential, incidental, special, punitive or exemplary damages. The only damages recoverable under this Agreement are direct compensatory damages.

11.5 Costs. Each Party shall bear its own legal fees. The arbitrator shall assess his or her costs, fees and expenses against the Party losing the arbitration.

11.6 Injunctive Relief. Nothing in this Article 11 will preclude either Party from seeking equitable relief or interim or provisional relief from a court of competent jurisdiction, including a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction or other interim equitable relief, concerning a dispute either prior to or during any arbitration if necessary to protect the interests of such Party or to preserve the status quo pending the arbitration proceeding. Specifically, the Parties agree that a material breach by either Party of its obligations in Section 3.5 or Article 7 of this Agreement may cause irreparable harm to the other Party, for which damages may not be an adequate remedy. Therefore, in addition to its rights and remedies otherwise available at law, including, without limitation, the recovery of damages for breach of this Agreement, upon an adequate showing of material breach of such Section 3.5 or Article 7, and without further proof of irreparable harm other than this acknowledgement, such non-breaching Party shall be entitled to seek (a) immediate equitable relief, specifically including, but not limited to, both interim and permanent restraining orders and injunctions, without bond, and (b) such other and further equitable relief as the court may deem proper under the circumstances. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 11.6 shall otherwise limit a breaching Party’s opportunity to cure a material breach as permitted in accordance with Section 10.2.

11.7 Confidentiality. The arbitration proceeding shall be confidential and the arbitrator shall issue appropriate protective orders to safeguard each Party’s Confidential Information. Except as required by law, no Party shall make (or instruct the arbitrator to make) any public announcement with respect to the proceedings or decision of the arbitrator without prior written consent of the other Party. The existence of any dispute submitted to arbitration, and the award, shall be kept in confidence by the Parties and the arbitrator, except as required in connection with the enforcement of such award or as otherwise required by applicable law.

11.8 Survivability. Any duty to arbitrate under this Agreement shall remain in effect and be enforceable after termination of this Agreement for any reason.

11.9 Jurisdiction. For the purposes of this Article 11, the Parties acknowledge their diversity and agree to accept the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any United States District Court located in the Southern District of New York for the purposes of enforcing or appealing any awards entered pursuant to this Article 11 and for enforcing the agreements reflected in this Article 11.

11.10 Patent Disputes. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Article 11, and subject to the provisions of Section 6.2, any dispute, controversy or claim relating to the scope, validity, enforceability or infringement of any Intrexon Patents shall be submitted to a court of competent jurisdiction in the country in which such Patent was filed or granted.

ARTICLE 12

GENERAL PROVISIONS

12.1 Use of Name. No right, express or implied, is granted by this Agreement to either Party to use in any manner the name of the other or any other trade name or trademark of the other in connection with the performance of this Agreement, except that (a) either Party may use the name of the other Party as required by regulations and in press releases accompanying quarterly and annual earnings reports approved by the issuer’s Board of Directors, and (b) AquaBounty may use the Intrexon Trademarks in accordance with licenses and restrictions set forth herein.

12.2 LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. EXCEPT FOR FRAUD, NEITHER PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER FOR ANY SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, OR INDIRECT DAMAGES ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO ANY BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT, REGARDLESS OF ANY NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, NOTHING IN THIS PARAGRAPH IS INTENDED TO LIMIT OR RESTRICT THE INDEMNIFICATION RIGHTS OR OBLIGATIONS OF ANY PARTY UNDER ARTICLE 9, OR DAMAGES AVAILABLE FOR BREACHES OF THE OBLIGATIONS SET FORTH IN ARTICLE 7.

12.3 Independent Parties. The Parties are not employees or legal representatives of the other Party for any purpose. Neither Party shall have the authority to enter into any contracts in the name of or on behalf of the other Party. This Agreement shall not constitute, create, or in any way be interpreted as a joint venture, partnership, or business organization of any kind.

12.4 Notice.

12.6 Waiver. Any waiver (express or implied) by either Party of any breach of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of any other or subsequent breach.

12.7 Entire Agreement; Amendment. This Agreement, including any exhibits attached hereto, constitutes the entire, final, complete and exclusive agreement between the Parties and supersede all previous agreements or representations, written or oral, with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement (including any prior confidentiality agreement between the Parties). All information of Intrexon or AquaBounty to be kept confidential by the other Party under any prior confidentiality agreement, as of the Effective Date, shall be maintained as Confidential Information by such other Party under the obligations set forth in Article 7 of this Agreement. This Agreement may not be modified or amended except in a writing signed by a duly authorized representative of each Party.

12.8 Non-assignability; Binding on Successors. Any attempted assignment of the rights or delegation of the obligations under this Agreement shall be void without the prior written consent of the non-assigning or non-delegating Party; provided, however, that either Party may assign its rights or delegate its obligations under this Agreement without such consent (a) to an Affiliate of such Party or (b) to its successor in interest in connection with any merger, acquisition, consolidation, corporate reorganization, or similar transaction, or sale of all or substantially all of its assets, provided that such assignee agrees in writing to assume and be

bound by the assignor’s obligations under this Agreement. This Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the successors, executors, heirs, representatives, administrators and permitted assigns of the Parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that either Party assigns this Agreement to its successor in interest by way of merger, acquisition, consolidation, corporate reorganization, or similar transaction, or sale of all or substantially all of its assets (whether this Agreement is actually assigned or is assumed by such successor in interest or its affiliate by operation of law (e.g., in the context of a reverse triangular merger)), the intellectual property rights of such successor in interest or any of its Affiliates other than those licensed in this Agreement shall be automatically excluded from the rights licensed to the other Party under this Agreement.

12.9 Force Majeure. Neither Party shall be liable to the other for its failure to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement, except for payment obligations, during any period in which such performance is delayed because rendered impracticable or impossible due to circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including without limitation earthquakes, governmental regulation, fire, flood, labor difficulties, civil disorder, acts of terrorism and acts of God, provided that the Party experiencing the delay promptly notifies the other Party of the delay.

12.10 No Other Licenses. Neither Party grants to the other Party any rights or licenses in or to any intellectual property, whether by implication, estoppel, or otherwise, except to the extent expressly provided for under this Agreement.

12.11 Non-Solicitation. During the Term and for a period of one (1) year following the end of the Term, neither AquaBounty nor Intrexon may directly or indirectly solicit in order to offer to employ, engage in any discussion regarding employment with, or hire any employee of the other Party or an individual who was employed by the other party within one (1) year prior to such solicitation, discussion, or hire, without the prior approval of such other Party. General employment solicitations or advertisements shall not be considered direct or indirect solicitations, and the hiring of any employee as a result of such general solicitations or advertisements is not prohibited under this Agreement.

12.12 Legal Compliance. The Parties shall review in good faith and cooperate in taking such actions to ensure compliance of this Agreement with all applicable laws.
