SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED COLLABORATION AGREEMENT

This SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED COLLABORATION AGREEMENT (“Agreement”), dated October 27 2013, by and between Monsanto Company, a Delaware corporation (“Monsanto”), and Evogene Ltd., an Israeli company (“Evogene”), shall be effective as of the 2013 Signing Date.

BACKGROUND

A. Monsanto is in the business, among other things, of developing and commercializing transgenic plants and related agricultural products.

B. Evogene has developed and possesses certain technologies, including a proprietary discovery platform and model plant validation capabilities, which can be used to identify and test genes for among other things, the potential to convey improved or sustained yield and abiotic stress tolerance in plants, and is currently in the process of developing certain additional technologies, including proprietary computational platform and model plant validation capabilities, which can be used to enhance and optimize the development of products incorporating such genes.

C. Monsanto desires to fund and Evogene desires to undertake a research project, in which Evogene will apply its proprietary discovery platform, product-development enhancement and optimization platform and model plant validation capabilities to identify genes and xxxx xxxxxx with the potential to improve yield and abiotic stress tolerance in certain agricultural crops and to identify certain parameters with the potential to enhance and/or optimize the development of products incorporating such genes, and which the parties expect will generate valuable know-how, including patentable inventions;

D. Monsanto and Evogene further desire that the valuable know-how, including patentable inventions, resulting from such research project be licensed by Evogene to Monsanto, so that Monsanto can apply its proprietary process of phase-based testing of genes, to develop and commercialize transgenic plants that exhibit improved or sustained yield and abiotic stress tolerance, all subject to and in accordance with the terms herein.

E. On August 27, 2008, the parties entered into the “2008 Collaboration and License Agreement” (the “Original 2008 Collaboration Agreement”). As a condition precedent to the execution and delivery of the Original 2008 Collaboration Agreement, the parties executed and delivered the “Share Purchase Agreement” defined below, and the Original 2008 Collaboration Agreement was executed and delivered as a condition precedent to the Share Purchase Agreement.

F. On the 2011 Signing Date, the parties amended and restated the Original 2008 Collaboration Agreement in its entirety, including its Exhibits, pursuant to the Amended & Restated 2008 Collaboration and License Agreement (the “First Amended and Restated 2008 Collaboration Agreement”).

irrevocable (except pursuant to termination or forfeiture as elsewhere set forth herein), non-transferable (except to pursuant to Section 17.5), perpetual (subject to fulfillment of the Monsanto Diligence Obligations set forth in Sections 5.10.1, 5.10.2, 5.10.3 and 5.10.4 and unless otherwise terminated in accordance with the terms hereof), non-royalty-bearing, worldwide license (with the right to sublicense and permit further sublicenses subject to Section 3.3, but specifically excluding the right to grant any Bare Sublicense thereof), under the Evogene Discovery Round Patent Rights, to Commercially Exploit Hits in all field of use, but in each case solely for transgenic applications in the Monsanto Crops (the “Hit Non-Assert License”). It is understood that the Hit Non-Assert License in no way impairs Evogene’s right to receive Milestone Fees and Product Royalties on any Collaboration Hit Homologs.

(d) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Evogene, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, grants and agrees to grant to Monsanto and its Affiliates (in each case, so long as such Person remains an Affiliate of Monsanto), and Monsanto hereby accepts for itself and its Affiliates, a non-exclusive, irrevocable (except pursuant to termination or forfeiture as elsewhere set forth herein), non-transferable (except to pursuant to Section 17.5), perpetual (subject to fulfillment of the Monsanto Diligence Obligations set forth in Sections 5.10.1, 5.10.2, 5.10.3 and 5.10.4 and unless otherwise terminated in accordance with the terms hereof), non-royalty-bearing, worldwide license (with the right to sublicense and permit further sublicenses subject to Section 3.3, but specifically excluding the right to grant any Bare Sublicense thereof), under the Evogene G2P Round Patent Rights, to Commercially Exploit G2P Recommendations in all field of use, but in each case solely for transgenic applications of Collaboration Hit Homologs or Special Collaboration Hits in the Monsanto Crops (the “G2P Non-Assert License”) (the Hit Non-Assert License and the G2P Non-Assert License shall hereinafter be collectively referred to as the “Non-Assert License”). It is understood that the G2P Non-Assert License in no way impairs Evogene’s right to receive Milestone Fees and Product Royalties on any Collaboration Hit Homologs, Special Collaboration Hits or Project G2P Recommendations.

3.1.4 Special G2P Recommendations. In respect of Special G2P Recommendations, Monsanto shall receive the same Research Licenses, Commercial Licenses and PlaNet Genes Licenses as are granted to Monsanto for Project G2P Recommendations. Said license to each Special G2P Recommendation shall become non-exclusive or terminate, in the event that the Collaboration Hit Homologs and/or Special Collaboration Hits in respect of which Evogene identified such Special G2P Recommendation shall become non-exclusive or terminate, respectively.

In addition, subject to Section 4.3.1(b)(i), in respect of Special G2P Recommendations, Evogene shall be entitled to the same Milestone Fees and Product Royalties as are payable to Evogene in respect of Project G2P Recommendations.

3.1.5 Rights of First Offer. For any GeneDex Recommendation that may result from any GeneDex Anaylsis, Evogene hereby grants to Monsanto an exclusive “GeneDex ROFO” (as defined below) to license any GeneDex Patent Rights, solely for transgenic applications in the Monsanto Crops and solely in respect of (i) any Collaboration Hit Homolog belonging to the specific Collaboration Hit Set containing the specific Collaboration Hit Homolog or (ii) Special Collaboration Hit, in respect of which Evogene delivered the Preferred Mode of Use which contained such GeneDex Recommendation. Evogene expressly acknowledges that any such GeneDex Recommendation identified in the preceding sentence is included under the Monsanto license grant of Evogene Know-How provided in Sections 3.1.1 through 3.1.3 for all transgenic applications in the Monsanto Crops. The process applicable to such right of first offer (“ROFO”) is as set forth below. Within forty-five (45) days after Evogene files a patent application that may constitute a GeneDex Patent Right, Evogene shall inform Monsanto thereof in writing and offer Monsanto a license to such filing as set forth above in this Section 3.1.5. Monsanto shall inform Evogene in writing, within one hundred twenty (120) days of receiving each such offer, whether or not Monsanto wishes to negotiate such a license. In the event that Monsanto notifies Evogene that Monsanto wishes to enter into such negotiations, the parties shall promptly commence negotiations, exclusively and in good faith, regarding the commercial and economic terms of any such license. If the parties are unable to agree to the terms of any such license after reasonable and good faith negotiations for not less than ninety (90) days, then Evogene shall be entitled to enter into a license with a third party, provided such license is on economic and license rights terms no less favorable to Evogene than the last offer by Evogene to Monsanto, and provided such third party license is executed within six (6) months of the date the negotiations between Monsanto and Evogene are terminated; thereafter, Monsanto’s GeneDex ROFO applies again, provided that after a period of three (3) years from Evogene’s first notice of a GeneDex ROFO under this Subsection 3.1.5 with respect to a particular GeneDex Recommendation, such GeneDex ROFO shall terminate.

3.1.6 G2P Recommendation Non-Project G2P Option. For any Non-Project G2P Claim in a U.S. patent which falls within the scope of inventions covered in a G2P Recommendation (“G2P Recommendation Non-Project G2P Claim”), Evogene hereby grants to Monsanto an option to receive an exclusive license to such claim as provided in this Section 3.1.6, but solely to Commercially Exploit Collaboration Hit Homologs, Special Collaboration Hits or PlaNet Gene Homologs (and only for as long as Monsanto has licenses hereunder with respect to such Collaboration Hit Homologs, Special Collaboration Hits or PlaNet Gene Homologs), in all field of use, and solely for transgenic applications in the Monsanto Crops. For clarity, if Monsanto’s licenses hereunder to all Collaboration Hit Homologs, Special Collaboration Hits and/or PlaNet Gene Homologs that are applicable to such G2P Recommendation Non-Project G2P Claim terminate prior to a U.S. patent being issued in respect of such claim, then the

***	Confidential treatment has been requested for redacted portions of this exhibit. This copy omits the information subject to the confidentiality request. Omissions are designated as [***]. A complete version of this exhibit has been provided separately to the Securities and Exchange Commission.

foregoing option shall not apply with respect to such G2P Recommendation Non-Project G2P Claim. Promptly after the issuance of any U.S. patent containing a G2P Recommendation Non-Project G2P Claim, Evogene shall notify Monsanto in writing thereof. Within one hundred and twenty (120) days of such notification, Monsanto shall notify Evogene in writing whether or not it elects to exercise its option with respect to any or all of the G2P Recommendation Non-Project G2P Claims contained in such patent. In the event that Monsanto exercises such option with respect to any G2P Recommendation Non-Project G2P Claim, then the invention claimed in such G2P Recommendation Non-Project G2P Claim shall be treated as a G2P Recommendation with respect to the license grant and royalty provisions set forth in this Agreement, including the terms hereof regarding termination of such licenses. If Monsanto does not exercise such option, then such G2P Recommendation Non-Project G2P Claim may be licensed to Third Parties, subject to the Non-Assert License.

3.1.7 Rights of First Offer – Non-G2P Recommendation Non-Project G2P Claim. For any Non-Project G2P Claim in a U.S. patent which does not fall within the scope of inventions covered in a G2P Recommendation (“Non-G2P Recommendation Non-Project G2P Claim”), Evogene hereby grants to Monsanto a right of first offer to negotiate with Evogene an exclusive, irrevocable, non-transferable, perpetual, royalty-bearing, worldwide license to such claim, with the right to sublicense and permit further sublicenses (but specifically excluding the right to grant any Bare Sublicense thereof), solely to Commercially Exploit Collaboration Hit Homologs, Special Collaboration Hits or PlaNet Gene Homologs (and only for as long as Monsanto has licenses hereunder with respect to such Collaboration Hit Homologs, Special Collaboration Hits or PlaNet Gene Homologs), in all fields of use, and solely for transgenic applications in the Monsanto Crops. For clarity, if Monsanto’s licenses hereunder to all Collaboration Hit Homologs, Special Collaboration Hits and/or PlaNet Gene Homologs that are applicable to any such Non-G2P Recommendation Non-Project G2P Claim terminate prior to a U.S. patent being issued in respect of such claim, then the foregoing right of first offer shall not apply with respect to such Non-G2 Recommendation Non-Project G2P Claim. The process applicable to exercising such right of first offer is as set forth below. Evogene shall notify Monsanto in writing of any U.S. patent containing a Non-G2P Recommendation Non-Project G2P Claim. Within one hundred and twenty (120) days of such notification Monsanto shall notify Evogene in writing whether or not Monsanto wishes to negotiate such a license. In the event that Monsanto notifies Evogene that Monsanto wishes to enter into such negotiations, the parties shall negotiate exclusively and in good faith the commercial economic terms of any such license at the time Monsanto desires to exercise its rights hereunder. If the parties are unable to agree to the terms of any such license after reasonable and good faith negotiations for a period of not less than ninety (90) days, Evogene shall be entitled to enter into a license with a third party with respect to such Non-G2 Recommendation Non-Project G2P Claim, subject to the Non-Assert License, provided such third party license is executed within six (6) months of the date the negotiations between Monsanto and Evogene are terminated; thereafter, the right of first offer under this Subsection 3.1.7 applies again, provided that after a period of three

(3) years from the first right of first offer under this Subsection 3.1.7 with respect to a particular Non-G2P Recommendation Non-Project G2P Claim, such right of first offer shall no longer apply with respect to such claim.

3.1.8 [* * *] and Covered Vegetables. Subject to the Non-Exclusive Negotiation Requirement set forth in Section 4.1,
[* * *] shall be excluded from the Monsanto Crops for purposes of the Exclusive Research License and the Commercial License, with respect to: (i) any and all Collaboration Hits, that Evogene provides to Monsanto during Collaboration Year 6 and during any Collaboration Year thereafter, and their respective Collaboration Hit Homologs and any and all Preferred Modes of Use and Special G2P Recommendations relating to such Collaboration Hit Homologs, and (ii) any and all Special Collaboration Hits, that Evogene delivers to Monsanto during Collaboration Year 6 and in any Collaboration Year thereafter, and their Homologs, Preferred Modes of Use and Special G2P Recommendations relating thereto. Furthermore, [* * *] shall also be excluded from the Monsanto Crops for purposes of the Non-Assert License, with respect to any and all Evogene Discovery Round Patent Rights and Evogene G2P Round Patent Rights that are filed by Evogene from and after Collaboration Year 6. In addition, the Covered Vegetables, which were part of the “Monsanto Crops” until the 2011 Signing Date, shall be excluded from the Monsanto Crops for purposes of the Exclusive Research License, the Commercial License and the Non-Assert License, as of the Effective Date. If at any time from the Effective Date to the 2011 Signing Date, Monsanto conducted any research on, or took any other action with respect to, the use of Collaboration Hit Homologs or Special Collaboration Hits for transgenic applications in Covered Vegetables, then the parties agree that such research and other action, if any, shall be deemed not to infringe the Evogene Patent Rights or Evogene Know-How, and that Monsanto shall have no liability to Evogene as a result thereof.

3.1.9 Reservation of Rights. Except to the extent expressly provided in this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to confer any ownership interest, license or other rights upon Monsanto by implication, estoppel or otherwise, as to any technology, Intellectual Property rights, products or biological materials of Evogene or any other entity, regardless of whether such technology, Intellectual Property rights, products or biological materials are dominant, subordinate or otherwise related to any Evogene Patent Rights, Evogene Discovery Round Patent Rights, Evogene G2P Round Patent Rights or Jointly-Owned Patent Rights. Nothing in this Section 3 shall prevent Monsanto from conducting any activity for which no license from Evogene is required.

3.2 To Evogene.

3.2.1 Grantback Nonexclusive License. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Monsanto (on behalf of itself and its Affiliates) grants and agrees to grant to Evogene and its Affiliates (in each case, so long as such Person remains an

Affiliate of Evogene), and Evogene hereby accepts for itself and such Affiliates, with respect to each Excluded Collaboration Hit, but only in each Monsanto Crop as to which Monsanto failed to meet its Diligence Obligation to advance such Excluded Collaboration Hit as described in Section 5.10.2, and with respect to each Excluded PlaNet Xxxx Xxxxx, but only in each Monsanto Crop as to which Monsanto failed to meet its Diligence Obligation to advance such Excluded PlaNet Xxxx Xxxxx as described in Section 5.10.2(a), non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide, perpetual, non-transferable (except pursuant to Section 17.5) and irrevocable license, under the Monsanto Improvement Patent Rights that cover such Excluded Collaboration Hit or Excluded PlaNet Xxxx Xxxxx, as the case may be, to use Improvements relating to such Excluded Collaboration Hit or Excluded PlaNet Xxxx Xxxxx for Research Purposes and for commercial exploitation in each such Monsanto Crop, solely for transgenic applications and solely for the purpose of practicing inventions claimed in Valid Claims in the Evogene Patent Rights to the extent that (i) such Valid Claims were issued at the time the applicable Collaboration Hit became an Excluded Collaboration Hit or the applicable PlaNet Xxxx Xxxxx became an Excluded PlaNet Xxxx Xxxxx, or were applied for at such time and were issued at any time thereafter and (ii) such Valid Claims relate to the applicable Excluded Collaboration Hit or Excluded PlaNet Xxxx Xxxxx. The license granted hereunder is limited to patent rights, and does not include a transfer or conveyance to Evogene of Biological Material (including Events, Germplasm, vectors or like material) or any technology used by Monsanto to create the Improvement that is the subject of the Monsanto Improvement Patent Rights. Monsanto shall provide Evogene with all data reasonably available to Monsanto or its Affiliates that is necessary to continue development work with such Excluded Collaboration Hit or Excluded PlaNet Xxxx Xxxxx (including the results of any field trials). Evogene is entitled, in connection with the grant of a license to Evogene Patent Rights covering such Excluded Collaboration Hit or Excluded PlaNet Xxxx Xxxxx, to xxxxx sublicenses under the license set forth in this Section 3.2.1 to any Third Party.

3.2.2 Limitations. If a Valid Claim in an Evogene Patent Right issues on an applicable Collaboration Hit or PlaNet Xxxx Xxxxx after the time the applicable Collaboration Hit or PlaNet Gene(s)becomes an Excluded Collaboration Hit or an Excluded PlaNet Xxxx Xxxxx, as applicable, then Monsanto’s obligation to grant any additional licenses in Section 3.2.1 that arise due to such Valid Claim is subject to Monsanto having Control of the Monsanto Improvement Patent Rights at the time of issuance of the Valid Claim. Moreover, Monsanto’s obligation to grant, or to agree to grant, future licenses under Section 3.2.1 in respect of Monsanto Improvement Patent Rights that would otherwise be subject to the license under Section 3.2.1 shall terminate on the earliest of: (i) the termination or expiration of the Evogene Patent Rights covering such Monsanto Improvement; or (ii) a Change of Control to a Monsanto Competitor; or any other assignment or transfer of this Agreement to a Monsanto Competitor. Any licenses granted or obligations to grant licenses arising prior to any such termination shall be unaffected by such termination.

3.2.3 Certain Jointly-Owned Patent Rights. Monsanto hereby grants and agrees to grant to Evogene, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, an exclusive, perpetual and irrevocable, transferable, fully-paid license, with the right to grant sublicenses, under Monsanto’s (and, as applicable, Monsanto’s Affiliates’) interest in Discovery Round Jointly-Owned Patent Rights for all research, development and commercialization activities in all fields of use throughout the world. The foregoing license is subject to the licenses that Evogene grants to Monsanto under Section 3.1, to the extent such licenses have not terminated.

3.2.4 Reservation of Rights. Except to the extent expressly provided in this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to confer any ownership interest, license or other rights upon Evogene by implication, estoppel or otherwise, as to any technology, Intellectual Property rights, products or biological materials of Monsanto or any other entity, regardless of whether such technology, Intellectual Property rights, products or biological materials are dominant, subordinate or otherwise related to any Monsanto Improvement Patent Rights or Jointly-Owned Patent Rights. Nothing in this Section 3 shall prevent Evogene from conducting any activity for which no license from Monsanto is required.

3.3 Sublicenses. Each of Monsanto and Evogene shall require that its respective Sublicensees enter into written agreements agreeing to be bound by terms and conditions (including in respect of license restrictions and confidentiality) consistent with those set forth in this Agreement which are applicable to such sublicense. Without limiting the foregoing, each such sublicense shall include reporting, records maintenance and audit provisions sufficient to enable the applicable sublicensor to collect and verify all information necessary to determine Product Royalty and other payments hereunder. Each party shall take reasonable steps to assure each Sublicensee’s compliance with the terms of such sublicenses. Nothing herein shall limit the right of either party hereto, as sublicensor, to amend or waive the terms of any of its sublicenses, provided that no such amendment or waiver shall permit a Sublicensee to exercise rights or take actions inconsistent with the requirements of this Agreement. In addition, at the end of each Collaboration Year each party will provide to the Steering Committee a list of all of its Sublicensees during the past year (and all Sublicensees whose sublicenses expired or terminated during such period), including the Collaboration Hit Homologs, Special Collaboration Hits, Excluded Collaboration Hits and/or Excluded PlaNet Xxxx Xxxxx, as applicable, licensed to such Sublicensees, the territory of such sublicense and the Monsanto Crop(s) covered by such sublicense.

4. EXCLUSIVITY.

4.1 Exclusivity. Except as otherwise set forth herein, for the duration of the Exclusivity Period, Evogene agrees (and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to similarly agree) that: (i) it will not license or otherwise transfer to any Third Party the right to use in the Monsanto Crops, for any transgenic application, any Evogene Hit identified through a Discovery Round or any other activity directed to the identification of Hits that confer Traits in the Monsanto Field, or Homolog of any such Evogene Hit or any Permitted Homolog; (ii) it will not

license or otherwise transfer to any Third Party the right to use in the Monsanto Crops, for any transgenic application, any G2P Recommendation arising from any G2P Activity or other activity that in either case intentionally targets the discovery of G2P Recommendations that confer Traits in the Monsanto Field for use in the Monsanto Crops for any transgenic application, it being understood that G2P Recommendations identified through any G2P Activity permitted hereby may be useful in the Monsanto Crops; (iii) it shall not, in collaboration with or for the benefit of any Third Party, engage in, undertake, or otherwise pursue any Discovery Round or other activity that intentionally targets the discovery of Genes that confer Traits in the Monsanto Field for use in the Monsanto Crops for any transgenic application, it being understood that Hits identified through any Discovery Round permitted hereby may be useful in the Monsanto Crops; (iv) it shall not, in collaboration with or for the benefit of any Third Party, engage in, undertake, or otherwise pursue any G2P Activity or other activity that in either case intentionally targets the discovery of G2P Recommendations that confer Traits in the Monsanto Field for use in the Monsanto Crops for any transgenic application, it being understood that G2P Recommendations identified through any G2P Activity permitted hereby may be useful in the Monsanto Crops; and (v) during the Non-Negotiation Period, it shall not negotiate any specific business and legal terms of any agreement with a Third Party, or enter into any agreement with any Third Party, that contemplates any of the activities described in the preceding clauses (i) through (iv). Subject to Subsections (i) and (iii) above and solely in respect of Encumbered Special Collaboration Hits and their Homologs, Evogene shall be entitled to conduct, in collaboration with or for the benefit of any Third Party that is party to an Existing Encumbering Agreement or a Future Encumbering Agreement, G2P Activity that (A) intentionally targets the discovery of G2P Recommendations relating to the Encumbered Special Collaboration Hits and their Homologs that are the subject of such Existing Encumbering Agreement or Future Encumbering Agreement, and (B) confers Traits in the Monsanto Field for use in the Monsanto Crops as to which Evogene granted a license pursuant to such Existing Encumbering Agreement or Future Encumbering Agreement, for any transgenic application, and to license such G2P Recommendations to the applicable Third Party solely for use with respect to such Encumbered Special Collaboration Hits and homologs and solely to the extent of the Monsanto Crops licensed under the Existing Encumbering Agreement or Future Encumbering Agreement by Evogene. For the avoidance of doubt, after the expiration of the Exclusivity Period, Evogene shall have no obligation with respect to conducting Discovery Rounds or G2P Activity within or outside of the Monsanto Field. Additionally, throughout the Exclusivity Period and thereafter but subject to Section 3.1.2, Evogene may freely license Evogene Project Hits and Evogene Non-Project Hits (and Homologs thereof) and G2P Recommendation, to any Third Party for use outside of the Monsanto Crops, in any field. Evogene shall not license any Homolog of any Special Collaboration Hit (including any Encumbered Special Collaboration Hit except to the extent subject to any Existing or Future Encumbering Agreement) to any Third Party for use in the Monsanto Crops for the longer of (a) the end of the Exclusivity Period or (b) the Non-Disclosure Period for such Special Collaboration Hit. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, commencing on the first day of Collaboration Year 6, [* * *] shall be excluded from the Monsanto Crops for purposes of this Section 4.1. However, if at any time after the first day of Collaboration Year 6 and prior to the expiration of the Exclusivity Period, Evogene wishes to

license to any Third Party the right to use in [* * *], for any transgenic application, any Evogene Hit identified through a Discovery Round or any other activity directed to the identification of Hits that confer Traits in the Monsanto Field, or any Homolog of any such Evogene Hit, then Evogene shall first offer, in writing, to enter into non-exclusive negotiations with Monsanto regarding such proposed licensing transaction, for a period of 60 days, and, if Monsanto accepts in writing Evogene’s offer to negotiate such a transaction, Monsanto to provide such acceptance to Evogene within 30 days of Monsanto’s receipt of Evogene’s applicable offer, Evogene shall negotiate with Monsanto such proposed licensing transaction for a period of 60 days commencing on Monsanto’s acceptance of Evogene’s applicable offer (the “Non-Exclusive Negotiation Requirement”). Nothing in the foregoing shall require either party to enter into any such proposed licensing transaction. With respect to any given proposed licensing transaction, if within twelve (12) months of Evogene’s offer to Monsanto to negotiate, Evogene does not enter into an agreement with a Third Party with respect to the licensing of the applicable Evogene Hits and the Homologs thereof for use in [* * *], for any transgenic application, then the Non-Exclusive Negotiation Requirement shall be reinstated with respect to such type of licensing of the applicable Evogene Hits and the respective Homologs thereof. For clarification, the Covered Vegetables, which were part of the “Monsanto Crops” until the 2011 Signing Date, shall be excluded from the Monsanto Crops for purposes of this Section 4.1, as of the Effective Date.

4.1.1 Non-Negotiation Period. For purposes of this Section 4.1, “Non-Negotiation Period” shall mean the period commencing on the Effective Date and ending on [* * *].

4.2 Independent Discovery Rounds.

4.2.1 Notice of Independent Discovery Rounds. During the Exclusivity Period and subject to Section 4.1, Evogene shall have the right to conduct, itself or in collaboration with or for the benefit of any Third Party, Independent Discovery Rounds. Every six (6) months during the Exclusivity Period, Evogene shall notify the Research Committee of (i) the Independent Discovery Rounds planned for the next eighteen (18) months (subject to confidentiality restrictions in the case of Third-Party Independent Discovery Rounds) and (ii) all Special Collaboration Hits that Evogene has identified and delivered during the preceding six-month period. Evogene shall not, solely as a result of such reports, be obligated to conduct any such planned Independent Discovery Rounds, nor shall it be precluded from conducting Independent Discovery Rounds in addition to those disclosed to the Research Committee from time to time pursuant to such reports. In addition, Evogene shall notify the Research Committee at least six (6) months before it begins any Internal Independent Discovery Round, and Evogene shall only conduct Internal Independent Discovery Rounds after giving such notice. Once commenced, an Internal Independent Discovery Round cannot become a Third-Party Independent Discovery Round. All Third-Party Independent Discovery Rounds shall be subject to a bona fide written agreement with a Third Party before such round commences.

***	Confidential treatment has been requested for redacted portions of this exhibit. This copy omits the information subject to the confidentiality request. Omissions are designated as [***]. A complete version of this exhibit has been provided separately to the Securities and Exchange Commission.

(a) Internal Independent Discovery Rounds.

(i) Notice to Monsanto. During the Exclusivity Period, with respect to each Internal Independent Discovery Round, Evogene shall notify Monsanto of each of the following stages:

(1) Prior to the initiation of any such Internal Independent Discovery Round;

(2) Upon identification of the Evogene Non-Project Hits identified under such Internal Independent Discovery Round and the filing of a patent application with respect to such Evogene Non-Project Hits; and

(3) Semi-annually during each Collaboration Year following stage (2) above occurring during the Exclusivity Period, in which Evogene obtains Core Validation or Model Plant Validation results in accordance with the terms hereof, if any, in respect of the Evogene Non-Project Hits identified through such Internal Independent Discovery Round.

(ii) Adding Internal Independent Discovery Rounds to Funded Project. If Monsanto informs Evogene, within forty-five (45) days of Evogene’s notice of the initiation of any Internal Independent Discovery Round, that Monsanto wishes to add such Internal Independent Discovery Round to the Funded Project, then, subject to the parties mutual agreement, to be negotiated in good faith, to add such Independent Discovery Round to the Funded Project (whether instead of any Discovery Program originally planned for such Collaboration Year, or in addition to the Discovery Programs planned for such Collaboration Year and subject to the parties’ agreement, to be negotiated in good faith, on additional funding to be provided by Monsanto with respect to any additional Discovery Round), such Internal Independent Discovery Round shall constitute a Project Discovery Round for all purposes hereunder, and the Evogene Hits identified thereunder shall constitute Collaboration Hits for all purposes under this Agreement.

(iii) Right to Conduct. If the Internal Independent Discovery Round is not added to the Funded Project, then Evogene shall have the right to conduct or continue to conduct such Internal Independent Discovery Round on its own, in Evogene’s sole discretion and at Evogene’s expense.

***	Confidential treatment has been requested for redacted portions of this exhibit. This copy omits the information subject to the confidentiality request. Omissions are designated as [***]. A complete version of this exhibit has been provided separately to the Securities and Exchange Commission.

(iv) Delivery of Special Collaboration Hits. In accordance with Section 4.5, Evogene shall deliver to Monsanto each Evogene Non-Project Hit that was identified through an Internal Independent Discovery Round, such delivery to include a Collaboration Hit Data Backpack with respect to such Evogene Non-Project Hit. As set forth in the definition of “Special Collaboration Hit,” each such Evogene Non-Project Hit shall, unless and until it has undergone Core Validation or Model Plant Validation in accordance with the terms hereof, constitute a Special Collaboration Hit. Throughout the Exclusivity Period, subject to Sections 3.1.2 and 4.7, Evogene shall be permitted to license to Third Parties any Special Collaboration Hits or Homologs of Special Collaboration Hits, only for use outside of the Monsanto Crops, provided that, in accordance with Section 3.1.8, [* * *] shall be excluded from the Monsanto Crops with respect to Special Collaboration Hits (and Homologs thereof) that are delivered by Evogene to Monsanto in Collaboration Year 6 and thereafter. For clarification, the Covered Vegetables, which were part of the “Monsanto Crops” until the 2011 Signing Date, shall be excluded from the Monsanto Crops for purposes of this Section 4.2.1(a)(iv), with respect to all Special Collaboration Hits (and Homologs thereof) delivered by Evogene to Monsanto at any time after the Effective Date.

(v) Validation of Special Collaboration Hits. Evogene may at any time, in its sole discretion, conduct model plant validation, as provided below, on the Special Collaboration Hits arising from any Independent Discovery Round. The assays used for such model plant validation shall be proposed to and approved by the Research Committee within thirty (30) days of Evogene’s written proposal thereof to the Research Committee, and shall be either the Core Validation or the Model Plant Validation assays set forth in the Research Plan. If the Research Committee does not inform Evogene within such thirty (30) day period which model plant validation the Special Collaboration Hits should undergo, Evogene shall conduct the Core Validation. Each Special Collaboration Hit that undergoes Core Validation or Model Plant Validation shall constitute a Collaboration Hit hereunder, regardless whether such Special Collaboration Hit qualifies as a Validated Hit.

(vi) Delivery of Discovery Validation Data Backpacks; Semi-Annual Pools. Semi-annually during each Collaboration Year, Evogene shall deliver to Monsanto Discovery Validation Data Backpacks for all Collaboration Hits arising from Special Collaboration Hits (if any) for which Core Validation or Model Plant Validation was completed during the previous semi-annual period (the Collaboration Hits as to which Discovery Validation Data Backpacks are provided to Monsanto during each semi-annual period being referred to as a “Semi-Annual Pool”). Such

***	Confidential treatment has been requested for redacted portions of this exhibit. This copy omits the information subject to the confidentiality request. Omissions are designated as [***]. A complete version of this exhibit has been provided separately to the Securities and Exchange Commission.

consideration. All payments due under this Agreement shall be made by bank Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT), and in the case of a payment to Evogene, to a bank account designated by Evogene, or in the case of a payment to Monsanto, to a bank account designated by Monsanto, as the case may be. Payments hereunder shall be made in U.S. dollars. If any currency conversion shall be required in connection with the calculation of payments hereunder, such conversion shall be made using the exchange rate quoted for current transactions reported in Reuters on the second-to-last business day of the month prior to the month in which Monsanto records the sale giving rise to the payment obligation set forth herein. If the due date of any payment is a Friday, Saturday, Sunday or national holiday of either party, such payment may be paid on the following business day.

7.4 Interest on Late Payments. Payments required hereunder shall be considered late if not paid on or before thirty (30) days after the date such payment is due and payable under this Agreement. Interest shall accrue on any late payment owed by either party hereunder, at an annual interest rate equal to the lesser of (i) the Prime Rate plus [* * *] percent ([* * *]%) or (ii) the highest rate permissible by law, with such interest accruing from the date the payment was originally due, and any late payment pursuant to this Section shall be credited first to interest and then to any outstanding fees. Such interest will not prejudice any rights of the recipient party.

any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments owed pursuant to this Agreement, such payee shall deliver to the withholding party any such forms or other certifications as may be required under the laws of such jurisdiction as a condition to exemption from, or reduction of, such withholding tax or income tax. The withholding party agrees to review such forms or certifications and to withhold or deduct at such reduced rate, provided that the requirements for such exemption from, or reduction in the amount of, such withholding tax or income tax, have been satisfied, as determined in the reasonable discretion of the withholding party. The withholding party shall provide the other party with a certificate or other documentation reasonably satisfactory to payee evidencing payment of any such withholding taxes to the applicable governmental or other taxing authority.

8. REGULATORY.

8.1 Regulatory Requirements. Subject to Sections 4.2.1(b)(iii) and 4.4.2(a), the following requirements shall apply to any and all Collaboration Hit Homologs, Special Collaboration Hits or PlaNet Genes Homologs that Evogene or an Affiliate of Evogene have licensed to a Third Party for Commercial Exploitation outside the Monsanto Crops, but only for as long as Monsanto has a Commercial License or a PlaNet Genes License hereunder covering their use by Monsanto in any Monsanto Crop.

8.2 Regulatory and Product Stewardship.

8.2.1 Monsanto First to Initiate Regulatory Data Preparation. When Evogene or any of its Affiliates or licensees reach the phase of regulatory data preparation with respect to a particular Collaboration Hit Homolog, Special Collaboration Hit or PlaNet Gene Homolog, then, provided Monsanto has already initiated regulatory data preparation at that time with respect to any Collaboration Hit Homolog in the Collaboration Hit Set of which the Evogene Collaboration Hit Homolog is a part, or with respect to any Homolog of such Special Collaboration Hit, or with respect to any PlaNet Gene Homolog of such PlaNet Gene Sections 8.3 - 8.5 below will apply with respect to such Collaboration Hit Homolog, Special Collaboration Hit or PlaNet Gene Homolog.

8.2.2 Evogene or Licensee First to Initiate Regulatory Data Preparation. When Monsanto begins regulatory data preparation with respect to a particular Collaboration Hit Homolog, Special Collaboration Hit or PlaNet Gene Homolog, Monsanto will notify Evogene thereof. Evogene will then inform Monsanto whether Evogene or any of its licensees have already initiated regulatory data preparation in respect of any Collaboration Hit Homolog in the Collaboration Hit Set of which Monsanto’s Collaboration Hit Homolog is a part, or in respect of any Homolog of such Special Collaboration Hit, or in respect of any PlaNet Gene Homolog of such PlaNet Gene, and thereafter Section 8.3 below will apply with respect to such Collaboration Hit Homolog, Special Collaboration Hit or PlaNet Gene Homolog.

***	Confidential treatment has been requested for redacted portions of this exhibit. This copy omits the information subject to the confidentiality request. Omissions are designated as [***]. A complete version of this exhibit has been provided separately to the Securities and Exchange Commission.

8.3 Consultation. The applicable parties (including Monsanto) shall enter into a confidentiality agreement towards each other, and thereafter such parties shall consult with each other to review relevant regulatory and product stewardship issues and to agree upon the appropriate reasonable strategic plans and actions that will serve to preserve the registrability of and ability to commercial exploit both Monsanto’s and Evogene’s and its Affiliates’ and licensees’ respective Collaboration Hit Homologs, Homologs of a Special Collaboration Hit or PlaNet Gene Homologs.

8.4 Monsanto Regulatory Data and Data Compensation. To ensure that, to the extent appropriate, a single uniform data package exists on any Collaboration Hit Set, or on the Homologs of a Special Collaboration Hit, or on the PlaNet Gene Homologs of a PlaNet Gene, as described above, Evogene agrees, and shall bind its Affiliates and any licensees of any such Collaboration Hit Homolog, or any Homolog of such Special Collaboration Hit, or any PlaNet Gene Homolog of such PlaNet Gene, to agree, that in any of the cases described in Section 8.2.1 above, Monsanto will perform any and all Gene and Protein analyses and characterizations, including safety studies for the Protein expressed by such Collaboration Hit Homolog, Homolog of a Special Collaboration Hit, or PlaNet Gene Homolog. Monsanto agrees to allow Evogene and its Affiliates and licensees to refer to and to cite Xxxxxxxx’x Xxxx and Protein analyses and characterization data, and Protein safety data (collectively, and in the generic, “Regulatory Data”) in sufficient time that Evogene or its Affiliates or licensees can prepare their Regulatory Submission, in exchange for payment to Monsanto of the Regulatory Citation Fee. Upon written request from any Person paying the Regulatory Citation Fee, within ninety (90) days from payment, Monsanto shall make available to such Person the reports and results of Monsanto’s applicable Regulatory Data that are reasonably necessary for such Person to make the required regulatory filing or to submit to or authorize the relevant Regulatory Authority to review the cited Regulatory Data. If Monsanto has not submitted the Regulatory Data, or has not completed its preparation, or the Regulatory Data available by Monsanto is not sufficient or adequate (e.g. the Protein expressed by Evogene’s, its Affiliate’s or licensee’s use of such Collaboration Hit Homolog, Homolog of a Special Collaboration Hit or PlaNet Gene Homolog, is not, in the opinion of the relevant Regulatory Authority, adequately covered by Monsanto’s Regulatory Data), Evogene, its Affiliate or licensee, as applicable, will meet and negotiate in good faith with Monsanto to determine jointly how best to proceed prior to Evogene, its Affiliate or licensee producing its own Regulatory Data.

8.5 Monsanto Protocols. Evogene, or its applicable Affiliate or licensee commercializing such Collaboration Hit Homolog, Homolog of a Special Collaboration Hit or PlaNet Gene Homolog, shall follow Monsanto study protocols or the parties shall consult in good faith to agree on the modification of such protocols to meet specific regulatory requirements or special needs of Evogene or its applicable Affiliate or licensee, and shall utilize relevant Monsanto Protein reference standards, subject to protocol modifications agreed to among the parties, while performing any Event-specific Protein studies (e.g. expression or equivalence studies) related to such Collaboration Hit Homolog, Homolog of a Special Collaboration Hit or PlaNet Gene Homolog. If Monsanto’s study protocols and Protein reference standards are used, Monsanto shall provide such protocols and Protein reference

Within sixty (60) days after receipt of each Collaboration Hit G2P Data Backpack containing a Preferred Mode of Use, Monsanto shall inform Evogene in writing of any Joint IP, if any, that Monsanto believes, at the relevant time, may reside in such Preferred Mode of Use. If Monsanto believes that any Preferred Mode of Use comprises Joint IP, then the parties shall discuss in good faith ways to limit the nature of the Monsanto Testing Data provided and/or the type of G2P Components being used by Evogene in G2P Optimization Rounds.

9.1.6 Jointly-Owned Patent Rights. The parties shall own jointly (without any duty to account except as expressly provided herein) any patents or patent applications covering inventions or discoveries that are jointly Conceived or Reduced to Practice by Monsanto or any of its Affiliates and by Evogene or any of its Affiliates, under or in the course of the Funded Project and/or exercising each party’s license rights hereunder (“Jointly-Owned Patent Rights”), subject to the following:

(a) Jointly-Owned Patent Rights that arise from Discovery Rounds and that relate to Evogene Hits identified therefrom (“Discovery Round Jointly-Owned Patent Rights”) shall be governed by the provisions of Section 9.2.1 with respect to the preparation, filing, prosecution, maintenance, defense and enforcement of any patents issuing therefrom and the allocation of costs related thereto. With respect to any Jointly-Owned Patent Rights that is not Discovery-Round Jointly-Owned Patent Rights, Monsanto and Evogene shall discuss and determine in good faith which party shall Control the preparation, filing, prosecution, maintenance, defense and enforcement of any patents issuing therefrom, and the allocation of costs related thereto.

(b) Evogene’s interest in patents and patent applications constituting Discovery Round Jointly-Owned Patent Rights will be deemed included within the Evogene Patent Rights for all purposes hereunder.

9.2 Patent Rights.

examination and any fees associated therewith; (iii) the costs of responding to an allowance of any application and all fees associated therewith, and (iv) the costs of any maintenance or annuity fees. Evogene shall submit receipts or other reasonable documentation supporting its requests for such reimbursement. Any unused portions of such annual caps may be carried forward by Evogene to the following years. The annual caps set forth on Exhibit M do not include reimbursement for costs and fees associated with Office Actions; provided, however, that the following discretionary costs or fees paid to patent offices shall not be included in such reimbursable out-of-pocket expenses unless such cost or fee has been approved by the patent committee: (a) a fee for extension of time; (b) costs or fees for obtaining additional examination or appealing a final decision; (c) costs or fees for adding new claims, or (d) any other similar discretionary costs or fees in jurisdictions outside the United States. Such costs and fees associated with Office Actions incurred by Evogene (but not any licensee of Evogene) shall be reimbursed separately by Monsanto against receipts. Patents that Evogene determines in its discretion to file in respect of Evogene-owned or Controlled inventions or discoveries required to be licensed hereunder shall be filed in the countries listed on Exhibit N, except that Evogene shall have the right, at its sole discretion, to stop filing any new Patents in [* * *] due to expenses considerations under the cap, and in the event that Monsanto notifies Evogene that Monsanto wishes Evogene to continue filing in such countries, then Monsanto shall reimburse Evogene for the costs of the filing, prosecution and maintenance of any such Patents, outside the annual cap. As of the 2011 Signing Date, the list of countries on the previous Exhibit N has been amended so that now such list excludes: [* * *] collectively, the “Excluded Countries”). Evogene Patent Rights existing as of the Effective Date shall be prosecuted in the countries and regions in which such applications currently have been submitted. In addition, Evogene shall have the right to continue prosecuting and maintaining at Monsanto’s cost, any Evogene Patent Rights that have already been filed by Evogene in the Excluded Countries as of the 2011 Signing Date (“Existing Evogene Patent Rights in the Excluded Countries”), subject to the cap for each Collaboration Year set forth on Exhibit M. Upon Evogene’s request with respect to any specific Collaboration Hit, and within a reasonable time, Monsanto will provide Evogene with information reasonably requested by Evogene for the prosecution of the Evogene Patent Rights (e.g. field trial results). Upon Evogene’s request with respect to any specific Project G2P Recommendation, and within a reasonable time, Monsanto will provide Evogene with information reasonably required by Evogene to support the filing and/or the prosecution of the Evogene Patent Rights covering such Project G2P Recommendation (e.g. field trial results), to the extent the provision of such information will not preclude Monsanto from filing a patent on a separate invention relating to such information. For clarification, if Monsanto can provide information in a manner which does not disclose the invention for which Monsanto wishes to file a patent application, then Monsanto will provide such information. Evogene (or any

licensee of Evogene) shall prosecute Evogene Patent Rights to completion, provided however that the forgoing shall not apply with respect to any Existing Evogene Patent Rights in the Excluded Countries, and Evogene can cease prosecuting and/or maintaining any such Existing Evogene Patent Rights in the Excluded Countries. Prosecute to completion shall mean prosecution of a patent to either issuance or a final rejection in the applicable patent offices in the Territory. In the event that Evogene (or any licensee of Evogene, as the case may be) should decide to cease prosecution and/or maintenance of any Evogene Patent Rights in a country listed on Exhibit C, Evogene shall notify Monsanto in writing and offer Monsanto the opportunity to continue prosecution and/or maintenance of such patent in such country. Without limiting the generality of the preceding, Evogene shall notify Monsanto no less than sixty (60) days in advance of taking any action with respect to the Evogene Patent Rights, or of any date in respect of which the decision by Evogene not to take action, would prejudice Monsanto’s rights under the Research License, Commercial License, PlaNet Genes License or Non-Assert License, including resulting in the invalidation of any patent or abandonment of any patent application included within the Evogene Patent Rights. If Monsanto should decide to continue prosecution and/or maintenance with respect to such patent in such country, Evogene shall continue to Control the prosecution and maintenance of such patent in such country and Monsanto shall bear all costs associated therewith, and, solely with respect to up to three divisional Patents in any country listed in Exhibit N and in the Excluded Countries, Monsanto shall be entitled to deduct the costs of such continued prosecution and/or maintenance, excluding costs associated with responding to Office Actions, from the applicable annual cap set forth on Exhibit M.

(b) Defense or Enforcement. If either party becomes aware of any infringement in a Monsanto Crop of the Evogene Patent Rights or assertion thereof in respect of a Collaboration Hit Homolog, Special Collaboration Hit, PlaNet Xxxx Xxxxx or RePack Recommendation as to which the Exclusive Research License, Commercial License, PlaNet Genes License and/or Non-Assert License shall then be in effect, or of any assertion that a Product infringes or violates the Intellectual Property rights of a Third Party (collectively, an “Evogene Defense or Enforcement Matter”), it shall promptly and in any case before taking any action thereon notify the other party, and the parties shall confer regarding the appropriate action to be taken in respect thereof. Monsanto shall have the sole right to Control, and to be responsible for, all decisions and costs related to any Evogene Defense or Enforcement Matter (only for so long as Monsanto’s Research License, Commercial License, PlaNet Genes License and/or Non-Assert License to the applicable Collaboration Hit Homologs or Special Collaboration Hit remains in force), and shall also own any damages (including in-kind consideration) obtained therefrom, subject to payment of Product Royalties to Evogene pursuant to Section 6.5.1, on an appropriate share of the product sales underlying the damages actually paid. Monsanto’s aforementioned

right to Control shall include the right to enter into any settlement involving the Evogene Patent Rights without Evogene’s consent, but only to the extent that the terms and conditions of such settlement have effect solely with regard to the use of such Collaboration Hit Homologs,, Special Collaboration Hits, PlaNet Xxxx Xxxxx and RePack Recommendation in the Monsanto Crops as to which Monsanto has a Commercial License to Commercially Exploit such Collaboration Hit Homologs and Special Collaboration Hits, and do not materially and adversely affect the scope, validity, enforceability or Evogene’s interest in the Evogene Patent Rights. Evogene shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to any such settlement for which such consent is required. Evogene agrees to assist and cooperate with Monsanto, at Monsanto’s sole cost and expense, as may be reasonably required in order to facilitate Monsanto’s enforcement and defense of the Evogene Defense or Enforcement Matter. Evogene acknowledges that it may be a necessary party to any Evogene Defense or Enforcement Matter action brought by or against Monsanto, and that the assistance and cooperation agreed to under this provision may require its reasonable participation in such proceedings, at Monsanto’s sole cost and expense. Monsanto will keep Evogene reasonably informed of any actions or suits pursuant to this Section 9.2.1, and will take into account the interests of Evogene and Evogene’s licensees. Monsanto shall consult with Evogene regarding any Evogene Defense or Enforcement Matter and without limiting Monsanto’s right to Control such matter, shall consider Evogene’s interests in determining how to handle such matter.

(c) Evogene Rights. Evogene, at its own cost, shall have the right to participate in all decisions and actions concerning the validity of any Evogene Patent Rights, including the right to join as a party any such action for infringement brought by or against Monsanto where a defense or claim of patent invalidity or unenforceability has been or will be raised. Evogene shall have the right to retain its own counsel for the purpose of defending the validity or enforceability of any Evogene Patent Rights. Further, Evogene retains the right to prosecute and defend any action relating to the Evogene Patent Rights that does not constitute an Evogene Defense or Enforcement Matter; provided that Evogene will keep Monsanto reasonably informed of any such actions, and will consult from time to time with Monsanto regarding any such action.

9.2.2 Monsanto Improvement Patent Rights. Monsanto shall Control and be solely responsible for all costs related to the preparation, filing, prosecution, maintenance, enforcement and defense of the Monsanto Improvement Patent Rights.

10. CONFIDENTIALITY.

Without limiting any provision of this Agreement, each of the parties hereto shall be responsible for the observance by its employees and any other recipient(s) from it of Confidential Information of the confidentiality and non-use obligations set forth in this Section 10.

10.2	Permitted Disclosures. Except as otherwise limited by this Agreement, each party hereto may disclose the other party’s Confidential Information only:

(a) to its Affiliates or to its or their respective advisors strictly on a need-to-know basis, if such Affiliates and other permitted recipients agree in writing to be bound by confidentiality and non-use obligations no less restrictive than the terms of this Section 10 or have a fiduciary duty of confidentiality, and provided the receiving party will be responsible for compliance of each such recipient with the confidentiality and non-use obligations set forth in this Section 10 and this Agreement,

(b) to the receiving party’s existing or proposed financial investors and, in the event that Evogene is the receiving party, also to potential acquirers who propose to acquire Control, directly or indirectly, of Evogene and that have entered into a letter of intent, and a confidentiality and non-use agreement no less restrictive than the terms hereof, with Evogene in respect of such proposed acquisition, and the agents and advisors of all the foregoing, provided however, in respect of any such potential investor in or acquirer of Evogene that is a Monsanto Competitor, the permitted disclosure to such potential investor or acquirer is limited to a copy of this Agreement (with Section 5, Section 6, all Exhibits, and any other provisions reasonably requested by Monsanto redacted, it being understood that Evogene shall not be required to disclose the name of such Monsanto Competitor to Monsanto when Evogene asks Monsanto to identify any such other provisions to be redacted), for such potential investor or acquirer to inspect, but not retain, in the course of conducting due diligence (it being understood that such potential investor or acquirer may retain notes and summaries that it prepares in the course of such due diligence), and/or, at the election of such potential investor or acquirer that is a Monsanto Competitor, an unredacted copy of this Agreement may be disclosed only to an independent Third Party (e.g. outside consultant or other representative) who is neither an Affiliate of the Monsanto Competitor nor a representative of such potential investor or acquirer in the proposed acquisition of Control, together with any additional Confidential Information that may be reasonably required by such Third Party in order to validate the financial estimates proposed by Evogene in respect of this Agreement. The Third Party shall be delegated the authority solely to validate the financial estimates proposed by Evogene in respect of this Agreement. The Third Party shall not be permitted to disclose to the Monsanto Competitor sufficient data to enable the Monsanto Competitor to determine the actual Product Royalty rates, Milestone Fees, or other fees and expenses payable under this Agreement;

(c) to the receiving party’s sublicensees permitted hereunder, subject to confidentiality terms no less restrictive than this Section 10 and will limit any disclosure to the minimum information that the receiving party reasonably determines is required to be disclosed and provided further, if this Agreement is to be disclosed to Sublicensees, then only an agreed-upon redacted version of the Agreement shall be disclosed;

(d) in the case of a disclosure of Section 8 hereof, to other licensees and prospective licensees of Evogene Hits, for purposes of negotiating and administering the regulatory provisions of such licensees’ licenses with Evogene subject to confidentiality terms no less restrictive than this Section 10; and

(e) to the extent such disclosure is reasonably necessary in connection with filing or prosecuting patent applications, filing or publishing a prospectus or any other document or report required in connection with any public offering of such party’s securities on any stock exchange, prosecuting or defending litigation, complying with applicable law, governmental regulations or stock exchange rules, or submitting information to tax authorities or otherwise exercising its rights hereunder, provided that if a party is required to make any such disclosure of another party’s Confidential Information, other than pursuant to a confidentiality agreement, it shall give reasonable advance notice (e.g. which will be sufficient to enable the original disclosing party to apply for patent protection for inventions to be disclosed), to the extent possible, to the latter party of such disclosure and, shall cooperate with the original disclosing party, at the original disclosing party’s cost and expense, in any effort by the original disclosing party to secure a protective order blocking the disclosure of, or otherwise affording confidential treatment to, such Confidential Information, and will limit any disclosure to the minimum information that the receiving party reasonably determines is required to be disclosed.

10.3 Data Sharing and Restrictions; Ownership.

10.3.1 Monsanto Data. Monsanto shall own all right, title and interest in and to the Monsanto Data. Other than with respect to Monsanto Testing Data, which will be provided by Monsanto to Evogene in accordance with Section 5.6, Monsanto shall determine, in its sole discretion, the level and type of Monsanto Data that it provides to Evogene under the Funded Project, provided, however, that Evogene’s written approval shall be required prior to any provision of Monsanto Data to Evogene. Any Monsanto Data provided to Evogene under this Agreement shall be deemed Confidential Information, and Evogene shall keep all Monsanto Data confidential in accordance with this Section 10. Other than with respect to Monsanto Testing Data, during the

Exclusivity Period, Evogene may use Monsanto Data to conduct Discovery Rounds outside the Funded Project, including in Discovery Rounds conducted in collaboration with or for the benefit of a Third Party but may not, for the avoidance of doubt, provide any Monsanto Data to Third Parties. Monsanto Testing Data may be used by Evogene solely for the benefit of the Funded Project and may not be used by Evogene outside the Funded Project nor provided to Third Parties. Upon the expiration of the Exclusivity Period or, earlier, in the event that Monsanto Terminates the Funded Project or the G2P Optimization Part of the Funded Project pursuant to a Change of Control to a Monsanto Competitor as set forth in Section 17.5.2 or terminates the Agreement for any other reason provided under this Agreement, Evogene must return to Monsanto any Monsanto Data in written or electronic form; provided, however, Evogene may use any Monsanto Data retained in the unaided memories of any Evogene employees and available for recall without the assistance of any printed or stored materials, without breaching the terms of this Section 10.3.1. Evogene shall not be permitted to use any Monsanto Data in any Evogene Patent Rights, or any other patent applications without Monsanto’s consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

10.3.2 Evogene-Funded Evogene Data. Evogene shall own all right, title and interest in and to the Evogene-Funded Evogene Data. Evogene may use Evogene-Funded Evogene Data for the benefit of the Funded Project in accordance with the terms set forth herein but shall be under no obligation to provide Monsanto access to any such Evogene-Funded Evogene Data. Any Evogene-Funded Evogene Data provided to Monsanto under this Agreement shall be deemed Confidential Information of Evogene, and Monsanto shall keep all Evogene-Funded Evogene Data confidential in accordance with this Section 10. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to prevent Evogene from using any Evogene-Funded Evogene Data outside of the Funded Project, subject to Evogene’s exclusivity obligations under Section 4. With the exception of any Evogene-Funded Evogene Data necessary to be provided in conjunction with a Collaboration Hit Data Backpack, Discovery Validation Data Backpack, Collaboration Hit G2P Data Backpack or Project G2P Validation Data Backpack or as otherwise expressly required by the Research Plan or this Agreement, Evogene shall determine, in its sole discretion, the level and type of Evogene-Funded Evogene Data to be provided, if at all, to Monsanto under the Funded Project.

10.3.3 Monsanto-Funded Evogene Data. Evogene shall own all right, title and interest in and to the Monsanto-Funded Evogene Data. Evogene agrees to use Monsanto-Funded Evogene Data for the benefit of the Funded Project in accordance with the terms set forth herein. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to prevent Evogene from using any Monsanto-Funded Evogene Data outside of the Funded Project, subject to Evogene’s exclusivity obligations under Section 4. Evogene hereby grants, and Monsanto hereby accepts, a perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable (but specifically excluding the right to grant any Bare Sublicense thereof) transferable license to use the Monsanto-Funded Evogene Data for any internal research and development purpose of Monsanto and its Affiliates whatsoever. At Monsanto’s

request, Evogene shall provide Monsanto with any Monsanto-Funded Evogene Data [* * *] ([* * *]) [* * *] after the completion of the first Project Discovery Round in which it is used, except as such timing may otherwise be unanimously agreed by the Steering Committee or as may be otherwise specified under any other provision of this Agreement or in any Exhibit hereof; provided, however, that with respect to the Monsanto-Funded Evogene Data that was developed by Evogene before the Effective Date, as described in Exhibit F, Evogene shall provide such Monsanto-Funded Evogene Data to Monsanto within thirty (30) days of Monsanto’s request therefor. During the process of preparation and approval of the Annual Research Plan, Evogene may designate all or part of the planned Monsanto-Funded Evogene Data to be Evogene-Funded Evogene Data. In such an event, funds designated for creation of such Data will be deducted from the Annual Research Payments and/or Data Generation payments made by Monsanto to Evogene in respect of the applicable Collaboration Year. For avoidance of doubt, Evogene will remain obligated to generate such Evogene Data and to use it in the Project Discovery Rounds. Any Monsanto-Funded Evogene Data provided to Monsanto under this Agreement shall be deemed Confidential Information of Evogene, and Monsanto shall keep all Monsanto-Funded Evogene Data confidential in accordance with this Section 10, but only for so long as such Monsanto-Funded Evogene Data remains Confidential Information of Evogene (provided that such Monsanto-Funded Evogene Data does not cease to be Confidential Information of Evogene through the improper disclosure thereof by Monsanto).

10.4 Press Releases.

10.4.1 Promptly after the 2013 Signing Date, the parties shall release a joint press release, substantially in the form of Exhibit P, to announce the execution of this Agreement. Thereafter, Evogene and Monsanto may each disclose to Third Parties solely the information contained in such press release and in any other joint press releases released by the parties in accordance with the terms hereof, and in the public filings and disclosure documents agreed between the parties on the Effective Date, without the need for further approval by the other.

10.4.2 On an annual basis the parties will develop and share a communication plan regarding the Collaboration that includes a framework for the timing and content of press releases, analyst presentations and each Party’s annual report, to the extent they relate to the Collaboration.

10.4.3 During the Collaboration, the parties shall work cooperatively in the drafting of, and shall release, the following press releases:

(a) Upon progression of each Collaboration Hit Homolog or Special Collaboration Hit to a subsequent Phase in the Monsanto Pipeline, either party may make a press release to announce such phase advancement. Monsanto shall have the right to approve the timing and content of any such press release by Evogene which approval will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

101

(b) Periodically, the parties shall discuss in good faith and mutually agree on the timing and content of a joint press release to provide a general update on the progress of the Collaboration.

10.4.4 Neither party shall issue any other press release or other public statement concerning the Collaboration, or use the name of the other party in any other press release or marketing material, without the prior written consent of the other party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. Once a press release or other public statement is permitted hereby, nothing in this Section 10.4 shall restrict either party from the subsequent issuance thereof.

11.5 Export Control. Evogene acknowledges and agrees that any products, materials, software and/or technology provided by Monsanto under this Agreement are subject to the export control laws and regulations of the United States, potentially including but not limited to the Export Administration Regulations (“EAR”), and sanctions regimes of the U.S. Department of Treasury, Office of Foreign Asset Controls (“OFAC”). Evogene agrees that all exports related to this agreement will be in compliance with these laws and regulations. Evogene shall not, without prior U.S. government authorization, export, or transfer Monsanto products, materials, software and/or technology, either directly or indirectly, to any country subject to a comprehensive U.S. trade embargo (currently Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan, and Syria) or to any person or entity listed on the “Entity List” or “Denied Persons List” maintained by the U.S. Department of Commerce or the list of “Specifically Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons” maintained by the U.S. Department of Treasury.

12.1 Indemnification of Evogene. Monsanto shall indemnify, defend and hold Evogene and its Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, consultants and counsel, and the successors and assigns of the foregoing (the “Evogene Indemnitees”) harmless from and against any and all liabilities, damages, losses, costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ and professional fees and other expenses of litigation and arbitration) resulting from a claim, suit or proceeding brought by a Third Party against an Evogene Indemnitee, arising from or occurring as a result of (a) Monsanto’s breach of its representations, warranties or covenants set forth in Section 11.1.2; (b) any personal injury, death or property damage suffered by such Third Party as a result of any Product sold by or on behalf of Monsanto, its Affiliates or its Sublicensees; and (c) a breach or a claimed breach of any Third Party’s Intellectual Property rights by any Products made, used, sold, imported or otherwise Commercially Exploited by or on behalf of Monsanto or any of its Affiliates and Sublicensees, except (i) in each case under clauses (a), (b) or (c) to the extent caused by the willful misconduct of any of the Evogene Indemnitees.

104

expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ and professional fees and other expenses of litigation and arbitration) resulting from a claim, suit or proceeding brought by a Third Party against a Monsanto Indemnitee, arising from or occurring as a result of (a) Evogene’s breach of its representations, warranties or covenants set forth in Section 11.1.1; (b) Evogene’s failure, pursuant to Section 4.4.2, to disclose any provision of any Existing Encumbering Agreement that would be breached or violated by, or that would otherwise be inconsistent with, the terms and conditions of this Agreement; (c) any personal injury, death or property damage suffered by such Third Party as a result of any product sold by or on behalf of Evogene or its Affiliates under the license from Monsanto in Section 3.2, or (d) a breach or a claimed breach of any Third Party’s Intellectual Property rights by any products sold by or on behalf of Evogene or its Affiliates under the licenses from Monsanto in Section 3.2 which are made, used, sold, imported or otherwise commercially exploited by or on behalf of Evogene or any of its Affiliates and Sublicensees, except in each case under clauses (a), (b), (c) or (d) of this Section, to the extent caused by the willful misconduct of any of the Monsanto Indemnitees.

12.3 Procedure. A party that intends to claim indemnification under this Section 12 (the “Indemnitee”) shall promptly notify the other party (the “Indemnitor”) of any loss, claim, damage, liability or action in respect of which the Indemnitee intends to claim such indemnification, and the Indemnitor shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the Indemnitor so desires, to assume sole control of the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the parties, including, the right to settle the action on behalf of the Indemnitee on any terms the Indemnitor deems desirable in the exercise of its sole discretion, except that the Indemnitor shall not, without the Indemnitee’s prior written consent, settle any such claim if such settlement contains a stipulation to or admission or acknowledgment of any liability or wrongdoing on the part of the Indemnitee or imposes any obligation on the Indemnitee other than a monetary obligation, and only to the extent the Indemnitor assumes in full such obligation. The failure to deliver notice to the Indemnitor within a reasonable time after the commencement of any such action shall not impair Indemnitor’s duty to defend such action but shall relieve Indemnitor of any liability to the Indemnitee to the extent the Indemnitor is prejudiced materially by the delay. At the Indemnitor’s request and cost, the Indemnitee shall cooperate reasonably with the Indemnitor and its legal representatives in the investigation and defense of any action, claim or liability covered by this indemnification and provide full information with respect thereto. Subject to the Indemnitee’s fulfillment of its obligations under this Section 12, the Indemnitor shall pay any damages, costs or other amounts awarded against the Indemnitee, or payable by the Indemnitee pursuant to a settlement agreement entered into by the Indemnitor, in connection with such claim.

12.4 Disputes Regarding Indemnification. Any dispute regarding whether the indemnification obligations in this Section 12 apply to a particular Third Party claim, suit or proceeding shall be resolved pursuant to Section 15. The limitations period applicable to the bringing of such claim seeking enforcement of the indemnification obligation shall be tolled until a final, nonappealable judgment or order (or settlement combined with a dismissal with prejudice and release of all claims that are the subject of such indemnification obligation dispute) is entered in respect of the underlying Third Party claim, suit or proceeding. Nothing in the foregoing shall be deemed to postpone a party’s obligation to indemnify pursuant to this Section 12.

Except with respect to indemnification obligations hereunder (Section 12), and except for liability arising from the nonpayment or underpayment of Product Royalties or other fees accruing hereunder, under no circumstance shall either party’s liability to the other party arising out of a breach of this Agreement exceed in the aggregate the greater of (i) the amounts payable by Monsanto to Evogene during the [* * *] ([* * *]) [* * *] period before such liability first accrues, or (ii) $[* * *].

13.3 Allocation of Risk. Each of Evogene and Monsanto acknowledges and agrees that each party has entered into this Agreement in reliance on the warranties, limitations and disclaimers set forth in this Agreement, and that such warranties, limitations and disclaimers reflect an allocation of risk between the parties (including the risk that a contract remedy may fail of its essential purpose and cause consequential damages or other loss) and form an essential basis of the bargain between Evogene and Monsanto.

The term of this Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and, subject to the remaining provisions of this Section 14, shall continue until the later of (i) the last to expire of the Evogene Patent Rights or Monsanto Improvement Patent Rights, or (ii) the end of the last-to-expire period during which Monsanto is obligated to pay Product Royalties pursuant to Section 6.6. The term of this Agreement shall survive the non-renewal, termination or limitation of any particular license granted hereunder. Certain rights and obligations of the parties may be terminated as provided in this Section 14, but this Agreement may not be terminated in its entirety prior to the end of the term provided above.

14.2 Termination of Certain Provisions of this Agreement for Cause. Subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 14.5 and 15.2.2, either party may, upon written notice to the other party, terminate certain rights and obligations of the parties hereunder, as provided in Section 14.5 below, if the other party materially breaches the relevant provisions referred to in Section 14.5 and fails to cure such breach within sixty (60) days after receiving written notice thereof from the party seeking to terminate.

14.3 Termination of Funded Project. Termination of the Funded Project upon expiration of the Research Period shall terminate the Exclusivity Period (to the extent not already expired) but shall not terminate any Research License, Commercial License, PlaNet Genes License, or Non-Assert License to any Collaboration Hits, Special Collaboration Hits, PlaNet Genes, RePack Recommendations or PlaNet Xxxx Xxxxxx delivered to Monsanto prior to the date of such expiration or termination, or any Collaboration Hit Homologs of such Collaboration Hits or any PlaNet Gene Homologs of such PlaNet Genes, nor the licenses granted to Evogene by Monsanto pursuant to Section 3.2 of this Agreement, which Research Licenses, Commercial Licenses, PlaNet Genes License, Non-Assert Licenses and licenses to Evogene shall continue in perpetuity unless subsequently terminated for cause in accordance with the terms hereof.

14.4 Accrued Obligations. Termination of any provision of this Agreement or any license granted hereunder for any reason shall not release any party from any obligation which, at the time of such termination, has already accrued. Subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 11.3, 13, 14 and 15.2.2, neither party is precluded from pursuing any rights and remedies it may have under this Agreement at law or in equity which accrued, or are based upon any act, error or omission occurring, prior to the effective date of such termination.

14.5 Effect of Breach; Survival. The remedies set forth in Sections 7.4, 14.5.1, 14.5.2 and 14.5.3 shall be the sole and exclusive remedies of each party with respect to any of the breaches specified in such Sections.

14.5.1 Monsanto Breach.

(a) [* * *].

(b) [* * *].

(d) [* * *].

14.5.2 Evogene Breach.

(a) If Evogene breaches (i) Section 2.6 where Evogene has failed to use commercially reasonable efforts to (A) staff the Funded Project with the required number of FTEs, or (B) replace departed FTEs; (ii) Section 3.1; (iii) Section 4.1; (iv) Section 4.6 due to any intentional or grossly negligent disclosure subject to such Section; or (v) Section 10 due to any intentional or grossly negligent disclosure of Monsanto’s Confidential Information to any Third Party, and does not cure any such breach in accordance with Section 14.2, then, at Monsanto’s election, the Funded Project shall Terminate, and Monsanto’s obligations to pay Research Payments and Data Generation payments under Section 6.3 (other than any such payments which, at the time of such termination, had already accrued), shall terminate. All other provisions of this Agreement

107

shall remain in full force and effect; provided, however, that if such termination occurs as a result of the Evogene breach described in clause (i) of this Section 14.5.2(a), then all of Monsanto’s Diligence Obligations shall also terminate. In addition to the foregoing remedies, Monsanto shall be entitled to seek damages or injunctive relief, in accordance with the terms hereof, as a result of any such breach.

(b) If Evogene breaches any provision of this Agreement not specifically set forth in subsection 14.5.2(a) above, then this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, but Monsanto shall be entitled to seek damages or injunctive relief, in accordance with the terms hereof, as a result of any such breach.

14.5.3 Continuing Royalties for Certain Non-Exclusive Licenses. [* * *].

14.5.4 Survival of Know-How License. Notwithstanding the termination of any license hereunder in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the license to Evogene Know-How granted under Section 3.1 shall become non-exclusive but shall otherwise survive any such termination, solely to the extent that such Evogene Know-How is retained in the unaided memory of Monsanto personnel.

15. DISPUTE RESOLUTION.

15.1 Informal Negotiation; Mediation. If a dispute arises out of or relates to this Agreement or a breach thereof, or a Deadlock arises among the members of the Steering Committee, the parties shall first try to resolve such dispute or Deadlock through informal and good faith negotiation between the Chief Executive Officer of Evogene and the Vice President of Biotechnology of Monsanto. If said officers cannot resolve the dispute or Deadlock within ten (10) business days after the date on which the matter is referred to the parties’ executive officers listed above, then the parties may, but are under no obligation to, mutually agree first to try in good faith to settle the dispute by mediation under the Commercial Mediation Rules of the American Arbitration Association, before resorting to arbitration under Section 15.2 or litigation under Section 15.3 (if such litigation is permitted in accordance with the terms hereof). If the parties decide to submit the dispute or the Deadlock to mediation, then each party shall bear its own expenses and an equal share of all costs and fees of the mediation.

15.2 Arbitration.

15.2.1 General. Any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement, including the breach, termination or validity of this Agreement, that is not settled by mutual consent, by the informal negotiations procedure or by the mediation procedure (if such has been initiated) set forth in Section 15.1 above, shall be finally settled by binding arbitration, conducted in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (except where those rules conflict with the

108

provisions of this Section 15, in which case the provisions of this Section 15 shall control) by one (1) independent, neutral, arbitrator appointed in accordance with said rules and who is a U.S. lawyer with at least fifteen (15) years experience with a law firm or corporate law department or who was a judge of a court of general jurisdiction in the United States, and who is experienced in matters regarding complex biotechnology collaboration agreements. The arbitration shall be held in New York, New York, and, in accordance with Section 17.1 of this Agreement, the arbitrator must render an award by application of the substantive laws of the State of New York. The arbitrator shall determine what discovery shall be permitted, consistent with the goal of limiting the cost and time which the parties must expend for discovery; provided the arbitrator shall permit such discovery as the arbitrator deems necessary to permit an equitable resolution of the dispute. Any written evidence originally in a language other than English shall be submitted in English translation accompanied by the original or a true copy thereof. Unless the arbitrator determines that equity requires otherwise, the arbitrator shall award to the prevailing party (as determined by the arbitrator) the costs of the arbitration, as well as the reasonable, out-of-pocket fees and expenses of the prevailing party’s attorneys. A disputed performance or suspended performance pending the resolution of the arbitration must be completed within a reasonable time period following the final decision of the arbitrator. Any arbitration subject to this Section shall be completed within six (6) months from the filing of notice of a request for such arbitration, and the decision of the arbitrator shall be in written form, setting forth findings of fact and conclusions of law with the reasons for such findings and conclusions stated. The arbitration proceedings and the decision shall, except as required by applicable law, not be made public without the joint consent of the parties and each party shall maintain the confidentiality of such proceedings and decision unless otherwise permitted by the other party. Any decision which requires a monetary payment shall require such payment to be payable in United States dollars, free of any tax or other deduction other than as expressly permitted under Section 7.6. The decision of the arbitrator shall be the sole, exclusive and binding remedy between the parties regarding any and all disputes, controversies, claims and counterclaims presented to the arbitrator. The decision of the arbitrator will be final and not subject to further review, except pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act. Any award may be entered in a court of competent jurisdiction for a judicial recognition of the decision and an order of enforcement. Each party has the right before or, if the arbitrator cannot hear the matter within an acceptable period, during the arbitration, to seek and obtain from the appropriate court provisional remedies such as attachment, preliminary injunction and replevin, to avoid irreparable harm, maintain the status quo, or preserve the subject matter of the arbitration.

15.2.2 Pre-Termination Arbitration of Certain Disputes. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement, including the breach, termination or validity of this Agreement, that could ultimately result in Monsanto losing any of its licenses hereunder (including any dispute over a failure by Monsanto to pay any Milestone Fees or Product Royalties, or any dispute over a Monsanto Diligence Failure), but excluding any such termination under Section 14.5.1(a), shall be finally and exclusively settled by the procedures set forth in this Section 15.2.2.

***	Confidential treatment has been requested for redacted portions of this exhibit. This copy omits the information subject to the confidentiality request. Omissions are designated as [***]. A complete version of this exhibit has been provided separately to the Securities and Exchange Commission.

109

(a) If Evogene believes that Monsanto has breached this Agreement, or suffered a Diligence Failure, and as a result of such breach or Diligence Failure any of Monsanto’s licenses hereunder could become subject to Section 5.10.7 or 14.5.1(b), Evogene shall notify Monsanto of such alleged breach or Diligence Failure in writing (a “Special Dispute Notice”). The Special Dispute Notice shall include a description of such breach or Diligence Failure in reasonable detail; the amount, if any, allegedly due and owing by Monsanto hereunder (excluding any damages that may have been suffered by Evogene) in connection with such breach or Diligence Failure; and a statement that Monsanto may lose certain of its license rights hereunder if such breach or Diligence Failure is established or if Monsanto fails to respond to such notice.

(b) If, within sixty (60) days after Monsanto receives a Special Dispute Notice, Monsanto fails to dispute such notice in writing, or fails to cure any breach or Diligence Failure alleged in such notice, then Evogene shall have no further obligations under this Section 15.2.2 and may exercise any or all of the rights granted to it under this Agreement and applicable law as a result of such breach or Diligence Failure.

(c) If Monsanto timely disputes the Special Dispute Notice, then the parties shall immediately begin the dispute resolution process set forth in Sections 15.1 and 15.2.1 above, subject to and as modified by the remaining provisions of this Section 15.2.2.

(d) Monsanto shall, at Evogene’s request and subject to Evogene’s execution of an unsecured promissory note reflecting the terms of this subsection (d) and subsections (g), (i)(iv) and (i)(v) below, advance payments for the reasonable fees and expenses of Evogene’s outside counsel in such dispute (the “Advances”). Advances would be made quarterly, in advance, and would be paid directly to Evogene’s outside counsel. Each quarter’s Advance would equal the good-faith estimate of Evogene’s outside counsel for the coming quarter, such estimates to be delivered by Evogene to Monsanto at least one (1) month before the beginning of each quarter (other than the first quarter, for which the advance would be $[* * *]), and would be subject to a cap of $[* * *] per quarter. Promptly after the end of each quarter, Evogene shall notify Monsanto of the total amount of such fees and expenses actually incurred during such quarter, and shall cause the repayment to Monsanto of any portion of the applicable Advance in excess of such fees and expenses actually incurred. Subject to the further provisions of Section 15.2.2, Advances shall bear interest at the Prime Rate plus [* * *] percent ([* * *]%) per annum until the arbitration is concluded, and thereafter at the lesser of (i) the Prime Rate plus [* * *] percent ([* * *]%) per

***	Confidential treatment has been requested for redacted portions of this exhibit. This copy omits the information subject to the confidentiality request. Omissions are designated as [***]. A complete version of this exhibit has been provided separately to the Securities and Exchange Commission.

110

annum or (ii) the highest rate permissible by law. Such interest shall accrue on each Advance from the date made until the date it is paid or otherwise satisfied in full in accordance with the further provisions of this Section 15.2.2 below. For clarity, Evogene may, subject to subsection (f) below, prepay any portion or all of each Advance, from time to time, and without penalty, but such prepayment of an Advance shall not discharge any obligation for interest accrued on account of such Advance prior to such prepayment.

(e) Evogene’s right to receive subsequent Advances shall terminate automatically upon the occurrence of any Change of Control to a Monsanto Competitor.

(f) If Monsanto fails to make any Advance when and as required by this Section 15.2.2, then Evogene shall have no further obligations under this Section 15.2.2 and may exercise any or all of the rights granted to it under this Agreement and applicable law as a result of Monsanto’s applicable breach or Diligence Failure.

(g) All payments of and credits against the Advances shall be applied first to accrued and unpaid interest and then to the outstanding principal balance of the Advances.

(h) For clarity, all provisions in this Section 15.2.2 concerning payment of Advances, interest, costs of the arbitration, and fees and expenses of the prevailing party’s attorneys are specifically excluded from the limitation of liability set forth in Section 13.2.

(i) Informal negotiation, mediation (if any) and arbitration shall be conducted as provided in Sections 15.1 and 15.2.1 above, except that:

(i) In any dispute under this Section 15.2.2, the arbitrator shall have no authority to grant a temporary restraining order, injunction or other equitable relief, and neither party shall seek any such relief in connection with any dispute subject to this Section 15.2.2. In the event of any dispute that includes issues under this Section 15.2.2 as well as other issues solely subject to resolution under Section 15.2.1, nothing in this subsection (i) shall limit the right of either party, under Section 15.2.1, to seek injunctive or other equitable relief with respect to the issues that are subject to resolution solely under Section 15.2.1.

(ii) The arbitrator’s decision shall be limited to a determination of whether or not the alleged breach or Diligence Failure occurred and the determination contemplated by 15.2.2(i)(iii); provided, however, that the arbitrator shall also be entitled to award damages against either party to the

***	Confidential treatment has been requested for redacted portions of this exhibit. This copy omits the information subject to the confidentiality request. Omissions are designated as [***]. A complete version of this exhibit has been provided separately to the Securities and Exchange Commission.

111

extent that the arbitrator determines that such party has acted inequitably, or has failed to act in good faith, in the conduct of such arbitration. If the arbitrator determines that Monsanto failed to pay any Milestone Fee or Product Royalties, then such amount, together with interest pursuant to Section 7.4 (as accrued from the date of such breach or Diligence Failure), applicable costs pursuant to Section 7.5, if any, and any other damages awarded to Evogene as contemplated above, shall be paid immediately to Evogene, and all such payment defaults shall be deemed cured. If the dispute concerns an alleged Monsanto Diligence Failure, then each party shall be entitled to exercise its rights hereunder with respect thereto, based on the arbitrator’s decision as to whether or not such Diligence Failure occurred.

(iii) Unless the arbitrator determines that equity requires otherwise, the arbitrator shall award to the prevailing party (as determined by the arbitrator) the costs of the arbitration, as well as the reasonable, out-of-pocket fees and expenses of the prevailing party’s attorneys.

(iv) If the arbitrator awards attorneys’ fees and expenses to Evogene and any Advances (and accrued interest thereon) are then outstanding, then such award shall automatically be offset against the Advances and interest thereon, as provided in subsection (g) above. Monsanto shall remain liable for any part of such award that exceeds the aggregate outstanding balance of the Advances and all interest thereon, and Evogene shall remain liable for any Advances and interest not offset against such award.

(v) If the arbitrator awards attorneys’ fees and expenses to Monsanto, then (A) all Advances and interest thereon shall immediately be due and payable (and subject to enforcement by Monsanto if not so paid), (B) interest shall continue to accrue, payable monthly in arrears, until all Advances have been repaid in full, and (C) Monsanto shall be entitled to offset any amounts owing under the Agreement against the outstanding Advances and interest thereon (and any remaining balance of Advances not offset shall remain due and payable by Evogene).

15.3 Infringement Claims. Notwithstanding anything in Section 15.2.1 to the contrary but subject to Section 15.2.2, claims for infringement, invalidity or misappropriation of any Evogene Patent Rights or Monsanto Improvement Patent Rights will not be subject to mediation or arbitration, and the party alleging such infringement, invalidity or misappropriation, or defending said allegation, expressly reserves the right to submit any such claim, including any factual or legal issues relating to such a claim, and all claims for legal and equitable relief in respect thereof, to any court of competent jurisdiction, and to pursue without limitation all rights and remedies available under this Agreement and at law and in equity.

Press Release

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Monsanto and Evogene Extend and Expand Collaboration for Crop Improvement

Extension of existing collaboration covering yield, environmental stress and fertilizer utilization in corn, soybean, cotton and canola to August 2016

Expansion of the collaboration to include a program for resistance to Stalk Rot disease caused by Fusarium species

St. Louis, MO (USA) and Rehovot, ISRAEL - October 28, 2013 - Monsanto Company and Evogene Ltd. (TASE: EVGN) announced today the extension and expansion of their research and development collaboration. The collaboration, initially signed in 2008 and later extended in 2011, has focused on identifying key plant genes related to yield, environmental stress and fertilizer utilization in corn, soybean, cotton and canola. The newly signed agreement extends these existing programs through to August 2016, and adds a new five year program for the identification of genes providing resistance to Stalk Rot disease in corn, caused by multiple Fusarium species. Fusarium is a family of fungi that causes significant yield loss across the world’s major crops.

“We are extremely pleased with Monsanto’s decision to again extend our excellent broad collaboration in the areas of yield and abiotic stress tolerance with respect to the four major field crops,” said Xxxx Xxxxx, Evogene’s President and CEO. “The addition of a new discovery program focused on Fusarium resistance is another indication of Evogene’s growing commitment and activities targeted at biotic stress related conditions, and the broad applicability of our unique technology platform.”

***	Confidential treatment has been requested for redacted portions of this exhibit. This copy omits the information subject to the confidentiality request. Omissions are designated as [***]. A complete version of this exhibit has been provided separately to the Securities and Exchange Commission.

“Agricultural innovation will be key to helping meet growing global demand,” added Xxxxx Xxxxxxxxx, Monsanto Technology Strategy Development Lead. “Through the combination of Evogene’s gene discovery technologies with our company’s trait development expertise, this collaboration is focused on developing new tools that help farmers drive yields even further.”

Terms of the revised collaboration agreement include:

•

Evogene will provide Monsanto with candidate genes that are predicted to improve yield, fertilizer utilization and plant resistance to environmental stress. Monsanto will receive exclusive license rights to develop and commercialize the candidate genes as part of Monsanto’s trait pipelines for corn, soybean, canola, and cotton.

•

Evogene will also provide Monsanto with candidate genes predicted to provide resistance to Stalk Rot disease caused by multiple Fusarium species. Monsanto will receive exclusive license rights to develop and commercialize the candidate genes as part of Monsanto’s trait pipeline for corn.

•

For all collaboration programs, Evogene will utilize its ATHLETE^TM computational technology for gene discovery, and its Gene2Product^TM platform for optimizing trait efficacy and accelerating the product development process.

•

Evogene will be entitled to receive both milestone payments and royalty payments for all successful candidate genes emerging from the collaboration that are developed and commercialized by Monsanto. Evogene will also receive additional research and development payments to support the increased activities.

The prior agreement included a put option giving Evogene the right, under defined conditions, to sell one million Evogene shares to Monsanto at $12 per share. The prior put option has been cancelled in exchange for an increase in all future milestone payments and royalty rates with respect to genes licensed by Evogene to Monsanto. The prior put option has been replaced with a new $12 million put option under which shares will be sold at market value at time of exercise (subject to set minimum and maximum prices).
